WOOSTER -- In 1909, the oldest person in Wayne County was John B. France, 95, who had been born in a log cabin in Wooster on Feb. 29, 1816 -- eight years after Wooster became a town -- and lived the majority of his life within 300 feet of that spot.
France was the son of Philip and Elizabeth (Swain) France of Pennsylvania, who were natives of Germany. His father came to America in 1807 and then to Wooster in 1811. He was drafted into service during the War of 1812, served in that conflict, and returned to Wooster where he died in 1816. The day he died, incidentally, his daughter also died and they were buried in the same grave.
John France attended subscription schools, gaining what was considered a common education and mastering the plasterer's, bricklayer's and stone mason's professions, after starting on the road to learning that trinity of trades when he was only 10 years old. When he came of age, he started in business for himself.
In 1832, however, at the age of 16, France ran away and joined Bill Sweet's Circus. For a season he played the role of the "Drunken Sailor" for that showman. After that, he traveled to Detroit and other places in Michigan where he worked as a bricklayer.
Returning to Wooster, he followed a successful career of contracting and bricklaying for 20 years and accumulated considerable property. He then became one of the early '49ers who traveled to Hangtown, Calif., where he mined and built the first courthouse at Sacramento, in which he received $12 per day as an overseer. He was known in the gold fields by the nickname "Frank Ohio."
He returned to work in Wheeling and Pittsburgh before making a second overland trip to California, where he remained until the fall of 1852, sailing home by way of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
After his return to Wooster, he continued in the building trades. In 1853, he was appointed Wooster's town marshal, then was elected constable, a position in which he served for about six years. From 1863 to 1868 he served as sheriff of Wayne County. During the Civil War he was deputy provost marshal for three years and at the same time conducted a very successful retail grocery business.
In 1870, France erected the Academy of Music in downtown Wooster, which he ran for 13 years. In 1883, he added another story to the building in an engineering feat that raised a lot of eyebrows. At one time France owned 17 properties in and around downtown Wooster. He was married twice, first in 1840 to Miama Flack with whom he had eight children and who died in 1880, and then to Sarah M. Fraley in 1882, who died on Oct. 5, 1904, with no children.

309 F3d 298 United States v. John
309 F.3d 298
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Mike JOHN, Jr., Defendant-Appellant.
No. 01-60721.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
October 7, 2002.
Jack Brooks Lacy, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty. (argued), Jackson, MS, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Julie Ann Epps (argued), Jackson, MS, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.
Before SMITH and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges, and ENGELHARDT,* District Judge.
JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:
Mike John, Jr., appeals his conviction on two counts of sexual contact with a minor under the age of twelve. Concluding that the district court committed reversible error by failing to instruct the jury that it could consider evidence of John's good character, we reverse and remand.
John, a Choctaw Indian, was alleged to have engaged in sexual contact with his eleven-year-old female foster child on the Choctaw Indian Reservation. 18 U.S.C. § 1153, 18 U.S.C. § 2244(a)(1). After a one-day trial, a jury convicted John of both counts. He was sentenced to thirty-seven months' imprisonment and three years' supervised release.
The child testified that John made sexual contact with her on two occasions. The first alleged incident occurred while she was washing dishes; she testified that John came up from behind her and placed his hand on her right breast; he moved away when she told him she would tell his wife Geraldine. The second incident occurred approximately two weeks later, when the child was alone in her room. John allegedly entered the room, pushed her onto the bed, and touched the frontal area between her legs on top of her clothing. He left the bedroom when his daughter, Sara Lynn, called the child's name from an adjoining room. No third person witnessed either incident.
John denied that the incidents occurred. His defense strategy was twofold. He claimed the child fabricated both incidents as a way of obtaining release from the foster home because she thought she was assigned a disproportionate share of household chores. One of her friends testified she had overheard a conversation in which the complainant and another friend discussed framing John so that she would be removed from the home.
John introduced several witnesses who testified to his good character. Although the court permitted the introduction of this evidence, it denied John's request for a jury instruction regarding character.
John argues that he was improperly sentenced as a felon. The indictment charged a violation of § 2244(a)(1), which makes it a felony, punishable by ten years' imprisonment, to engage in "sexual contact" with another person if in doing so it would violate § 2241 "had the sexual contact been a sexual act."1 John argues that the phrase "had the sexual contact been a sexual act" requires that the government prove a sexual act, not merely sexual contact. John contends that because he was alleged to have engaged in only sexual contact, he should have been sentenced for violating § 2244(b), a misdemeanor.2
Chapter 109A of title 18, entitled "Sexual Abuse," which encompasses 18 U.S.C. §§ 2241-2248, differentiates between a sexual act and sexual contact. Section 2246(2) defines a sexual act, in part, as "the intentional touching, not through the clothing, of the genitalia of another person." On the other hand, sexual contact is defined as "intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing" of areas including the genitalia and breasts. It is undisputed — indeed the indictment only alleged — that both incidents qualified as "sexual contacts," because the child was touched through the clothing, not directly.
As we have said, § 2244(a)(1), under which John was indicted, prohibits sexual contact in violation of § 2241 "had the sexual contact been a sexual act." Section 2241, the subsection cross-referenced by § 2244(a)(1), is entitled "aggravated sexual abuse" and generally prohibits sexual acts by aggravated means. Specifically, § 2241(c) punishes defendants who engage in sexual acts with minors under twelve years of age.
Section 2244(a)(1)'s use of the phrase "had the sexual contact been a sexual act" apparently was intended to incorporate § 2241 in its entirety, with the caveat that § 2241's use of the term "sexual act" be replaced by "sexual contact." In other words, the plain text of § 2244(a)(1) prohibits sexual contacts "had the sexual contact" at issue "been a sexual act" as described in § 2241. Therefore, § 2241(c), which prohibits sexual acts with minors under twelve, is incorporated by § 2244(a)(1) to punish sexual contact with minors under twelve.
We do not see how the plain text can be interpreted any other way. In light of the fact that § 2244 is entitled "abusive sexual contact," it would make little sense if the government were required to prove a sexual act to convict under § 2244(a)(1).
We are mindful that this interpretation results in two avenues for punishing the same conduct.3 In addition to § 2244(a)(1), § 2244(b), in concert with § 2244(c),4 punishes sexual contact with minors under twelve years of age. Notably, a violation of § 2244(a)(1) qualifies as a felony, while a violation of § 2244(b) qualifies only as a misdemeanor. The fact that two provisions of § 2244 provide different penalties for punishing the same conduct does not, however, create ambiguity.
Although the rule of lenity requires that ambiguous statutes be construed in favor of criminal defendants, United States v. Reedy, 304 F.3d 358, 367 & n. 13, 2002 U.S.App. LEXIS 17668, at *20 & n. 13, (5th Cir.2002), the rule applies "only when, after construing traditional canons of statutory construction, [a court] is left with an ambiguous statute." United States v. Shabani, 513 U.S. 10, 17, 115 S.Ct. 382, 130 L.Ed.2d 225 (1994). The rule of lenity does not apply in a case such as this, where two statutes provide different penalties for the same conduct. United States v. Batchelder, 442 U.S. 114, 121-22, 99 S.Ct. 2198, 60 L.Ed.2d 755 (1979). If the government does not attempt to punish a defendant for the same conduct under both § 2244(a)(1) and § 2244(b), it "has the discretion to prosecute under either statute regardless of whether one allows a harsher sentence." United States v. Thrasher, 569 F.2d 894, 895 (5th Cir.1978).5
The district court committed reversible error in refusing John's request for a character instruction. Unlike the situation in cases in which we have found a character instruction unnecessary, character was a vital part of John's theory of defense. Without any witnesses or other corroborating evidence supporting the child's accusations, guilt hinged entirely on credibility.6 Given these circumstances and the closeness of the case,7 the court should have given a character instruction.
The proposed instruction would have informed the jury it should consider evidence of "good general reputation for truth and veracity, or honesty and integrity, or [being a] law abiding-citizen." More importantly, the instruction would have informed the jury that character evidence "may give rise to a reasonable doubt, since you may think it improbable that a person of good character in respect to those traits would commit such a crime." The court apparently rejected the character instruction because it thought that John's only proffered character evidence was the testimony of Sara Lynn John, and that her testimony alone was insufficient to warrant the instruction.8
A character instruction is warranted only if the defendant first introduces admissible character evidence. See United States v. Tannehill, 49 F.3d 1049, 1057-58 (5th Cir.1995). An accused may offer evidence of a pertinent character trait to prove action in conformity with that trait. FED R. EVID. 404(a)(1). In the criminal context, a pertinent character trait is one that is relevant to the offense charged. United States v. Hewitt, 634 F.2d 277, 279 (5th Cir. Unit A Jan.1981). Where admissible, proof of character may be made by testimony as to the defendant's reputation or by testimony in the form of an opinion. FED.R.EVID. 405.
John offered a host of admissible character evidence. Geraldine John, his wife, testified that she and John had a good marriage and a normal sexual relationship. Marion Wesley, a social service worker, testified that she knew the Johns, had placed eight foster children with them, and considered them to be "very good parents [who were] willing to do whatever needs to be done for the children." John testified that he was fifty-one years old and had never been accused of sexual misconduct.9 Finally, Sara Lynn John, John's thirty-three-year-old daughter, testified that John had a "good" reputation for sexual morality and decency in the community.10
This character evidence, if believed, might have swayed the jury that John was incapable of engaging in sexual contact with his foster child. The fact that this testimony was given in the form of personal opinion, rather than John's reputation in the community, does not defeat its admissibility.
A defendant may introduce character testimony to show that "the general estimate of his character is so favorable that the jury may infer that he would not be likely to commit the offense charged." Michelson v. United States, 335 U.S. 469, 476, 69 S.Ct. 213, 93 L.Ed. 168 (1948). Unlike an affirmative defense, character evidence is never legally sufficient to render a defendant not guilty. Standing alone, however, character evidence may create a reasonable doubt regarding guilt. Edgington v. United States, 164 U.S. 361, 366, 17 S.Ct. 72, 41 L.Ed. 467 (1896). "In some circumstances, evidence of good character may of itself create a reasonable doubt as to guilt, and the jury must be appropriately instructed." Hewitt, 634 F.2d at 278 (citations omitted).11
We review for abuse of discretion the refusal to give a defense-tendered instruction. United States v. Correa-Ventura, 6 F.3d 1070, 1076 (5th Cir.1993). A court commits reversible error where (1) the requested instruction is substantially correct; (2) the requested issue is not substantially covered in the charge; and (3) the instruction "concerns an important point in the trial so that the failure to give it seriously impaired the defendant's ability to effectively present a given defense." United States v. Grissom, 645 F.2d 461, 464 (5th Cir. Unit A May 1981).
The government does not argue that the instruction is an improper statement of the law or that the issue of character was otherwise covered in the instructions.12 We are left to determine whether the omission of the character instruction "impaired the defendant's ability to present" his defense of good character.
A defendant "is usually entitled to have the court instruct the jury on the defense's `theory of the case.'" United States v. Robinson, 700 F.2d 205, 211 (5th Cir.1983) (internal citation omitted).13 Importantly, in cases where we have determined that the lack of a character instruction did not impair the defendant's ability to present his defense, character was not his main theory of defense.14
For instance, in United States v. Baytank (Houston), Inc., 934 F.2d 599 (5th Cir.1991), in holding that a character instruction was unnecessary where a defendant company accused of violating environmental regulations offered character evidence, we stressed that it did "not appear that character evidence was central or crucial."15 Id. at 614. Similarly, in United States v. Hunt, 794 F.2d 1095 (5th Cir.1986), we found a character instruction unnecessary where the defendant was convicted of mail fraud. In that case, the defendant argued good faith as his main theory of defense and did not deny that he had solicited customers through mail, but contended only that he lacked the specific intent to defraud.16 Id.
By contrast, John's theory of defense was that he did not commit the act at all. Character was necessarily a vital part of that defense, along with the credibility of the victim. Without corroborating evidence or an eyewitness, the case boiled down to a "swearing-match" between the victim and the accused. Indeed, defense counsel argued, in his opening statement and closing argument, that John's character made it unlikely that he would have engaged in sexual contact with his foster child.
The fact that character evidence may create a reasonable doubt as to guilt, Edgington, 164 U.S. at 366, 17 S.Ct. 72, is most compelling in cases such as this, where the only evidence linking the defendant to the crime is the victim's word. Therefore, under these narrow circumstances, the court's treatment of character as a non-issue was tantamount to impairing John's ability to present his defense. Grissom, 645 F.2d at 464. Given the closeness of the case, had the jury been told that character evidence might create a reasonable doubt as to guilt, the outcome may well have been different.
Although we reverse John's conviction, we also address his contention that the district court engaged in prohibitive "double-counting" when it sentenced him.17 John was sentenced pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2A3.4(a), which applies only to offenses committed in violation of § 2244(a)(1), (2), (3). U.S. SENTENCING GUIDELINES MANUAL § 2A3.4 cmt. statutory provisions (2001). After assigning John a base offense level of 10 under § 2A3.4(a)(3),18 the court imposed a six-level enhancement pursuant to § 2A3.4(b)(1) because the victim had not attained the age of twelve.
John contends that age was factored twice in the overall calculation of base offense level 16 — once in the calculation of base offense level 10, and subsequently in the six-level enhancement. Because the enhancement undoubtedly was based on the victim's age, we must decide whether the guideline's drafters factored age in calculating base offense level 10.
Two observations, viewed in tandem, compel the conclusion that the court engaged in prohibited double-counting. First, as we have discussed, John's violation of § 2244(a)(1) required that the age of the victim be under twelve. In other words, age is an element of § 2244(a)(1). Second, by process of elimination, there are only two offenses covered by § 2A3.4 that are assigned a base offense level of 10: § 2244(a)(1) insofar as it incorporates § 2241(c), and § 2244(a)(3).
John was convicted of violating § 2244(a)(1). The other offense covered by § 2A3.4, which is § 2244(a)(3), punishes sexual contact with child-victims between the ages of twelve and sixteen. Bearing in mind that age is an element of both § 2244(a)(1) and § 2244(a)(3), the sentencing guidelines commentary specifically exempts only § 2244(a)(3) from an age enhancement: "The [age] enhancement under subsection (b)(2) does not apply... where the base offense level is determined under subsection (a)(3) because an element of the offense to which that offense level applies is that the victim had attained the age of twelve years but had not attained the age of sixteen years." Id. cmt. background.
It cannot be that age was factored into the computation of base offense level 10 as applied to § 2244(a)(3) but not to § 2244(a)(1).19 Although the commentary does not explicitly state that § 2244(a)(1) is exempt from an age enhancement,20 the commentary does not control our interpretation of the sentencing guidelines where it is plainly erroneous or otherwise inconsistent with the guidelines. United States v. Urias-Escobar, 281 F.3d 165, 167 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, ___ U.S. ___, 122 S.Ct. 2377, 153 L.Ed.2d 196 (2002).
It would be inconsistent to find that age was factored into the computation of base level 10 when applied to § 2244(a)(3) but not to § 2244(a)(1). There is only one base offense level 10. The district court engaged in double-counting when it enhanced John's sentence because of the victim's age.
The judgment of conviction and sentence is REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
District Judge of the Eastern District of Louisiana, sitting by designation
Section 2244(a)(1), entitled "abusive sexual contact," states:
(a) Sexual conduct in circumstances where sexual acts are punished by this chapter. — Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States or in a Federal prison, knowingly engages in or causes sexual contact with or by another person, if so to do would violate —
(1) section 2241 of this title had the sexual contact been a sexual act, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than ten years, or both[.]
Section 2244(b) states:
(b) In other circumstances. — Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States or in a Federal prison, knowingly engages in sexual contact with another person without that other person's permission shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
This oddity could mean that Congress intended § 2244(a)(1) to incorporate § 2241(a) and (b), but not (c). Yet, the plain text of § 2244(a)(1), which incorporates § 2241 in its entirety, suggests otherwise
Section 2244(c) provides that "[i]f the sexual contact that violates this section is with an individual who has not attained the age of 12 years, the maximum term of imprisonment that may be imposed for the offense shall be twice that otherwise provided in this section." Presumably, this permits one who violates § 2244(b) by engaging in sexual contact with a minor under twelve years of age to be punished for not more than one year, instead of for only six months
In addition, a principle of statutory construction provides that a specific provision takes precedence over a more general oneUnited States v. Torres-Echavarria, 129 F.3d 692, 699 (2d Cir.1997) (citation omitted). Section 2244(a)(1) punishes sexual contacts with minors under twelve years of age through its incorporation of § 2241(c). Section 2244(b), the statute urged by John, generally prohibits sexual contacts regardless of age. Therefore, § 2244(a)(1) is the more specific provision and would control if we were forced to choose between the two provisions.
Indeed, the fact that sex offenses are often unwitnessed and unsupported by evidence outside the victim's testimony means that they become "unresolvable swearing matches."United States v. Mound, 149 F.3d 799, 801 (8th Cir.1998) (citing 140 Cong. Rec. H8991 (daily ed. Aug. 21, 1994) (statement of Rep. Molinari)).
The jury deliberated for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes before reaching a verdict. After about 1 hour and 45 minutes of deliberation, the court had given an "Allen charge," see, e.g., United States v. McClatchy, 249 F.3d 348, 358-59 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, ___ U.S. ___, 122 S.Ct. 217, 151 L.Ed.2d 155 (2001), instructing the respective jurors to reconsider their positions in light of the body's inability to reach a unanimous decision. This was a close case; at one point, the prosecutor remarked that there was a "relatively small quantum of proof" linking John to the crime.
The court, by referring to character evidence as "reputation" evidence and stating that Sara Lynn John's testimony was the only "reputation" evidence adduced at trial, over-looked the fact that character evidence also may be proven by a witness's opinion of the defendant. FED.R.EVID. 405(a). As we will discuss, several witnesses testified to their opinion of John without mentioning his reputation in the community
We have located no authority stating that a defendant's own testimony cannot be considered character evidence within the meaning of rule 404(a)(1). Instead, at least one court has concluded that it canSee United States v. Daily, 921 F.2d 994, 1010-11 (10th Cir. 1990) (considering the defendant's own testimony as character evidence).
A language barrier apparently prevented Sara Lynn John from initially comprehending defense counsel's questions regarding John's reputation for sexual morality and decency. After being asked three times whether she had heard people in the community discussing John's reputation for sexual morality and decency, Sara Lynn John responded "yes." When asked whether John was a "good man or a bad man," she responded "good."
The government argues that her acknowledgement on cross-examination that she gathered John's reputation only from the opinions of persons connected to the case, and only after the complainant's allegations were raised, defeats its admissibility. We disagree, noting that rule 405(a) imposes no requirement beyond the limitation that reputation be limited to the community in which one resides. "The defendant may introduce evidence of his reputation ..., and such a witness not only may but must base his testimony upon hearsay, in effect summarizing what he has heard in the community." United States v. Duke, 492 F.2d 693, 695 (5th Cir.1974). We know of no authority suggesting that a "community" cannot be made up, in whole or in part, of persons interested in the case.
The importance of character evidence is further demonstrated by the fact that on at least two occasions, we have reversed convictions after the district court had instructed the jury that character evidence "should not constitute an excuse to acquit the defendant if you, the jury, after weighing all of the evidence in the case, is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he defendant is guilty of the offenses charged in the indictment."United States v. Leigh, 513 F.2d 784, 785 (5th Cir.1975); accord United States v. Harris, 533 F.2d 306, 307 (5th Cir.1976). "Seizing on this sentence, the jury could easily have formed the impression that reputation evidence could only be used to tip the scales in defendant's favor if the case was otherwise close; this is precisely the contention rejected by the Supreme Court in Edgington...." 513 F.2d at 786.
At no point did the court address the issue of characterSee Daily, 921 F.2d at 1010 (finding that a jury instruction failing specifically to mention character "cannot be reasonably construed as addressing the issue" of character). The court told the jury that in determining the facts of the case, it should consider "only the evidence presented during the trial, including the sworn testimony of the witnesses and the exhibits." The court also told the jury, however, that in weighing the testimony of witnesses, it should consider the witness's relationship with the defendant. Without the benefit of being told that character evidence could raise a reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt, the jury might have inferred that it should disregard character evidence, in light of the fact that it was elicited mainly from witnesses close to John.
At least the Tenth Circuit has recognized that a defendant is ordinarily "entitled" to a character instruction if he affirmatively makes character an issue and presents evidence of traits relevant to the charged offenseDaily, 921 F.2d at 1010.
See Oertle v. United States, 370 F.2d 719, 727 (10th Cir.1966) ("It is important in this case that the [defendants], for their defense, did not rely solely on good character evidence; such evidence was, in fact, only incidental to the prime defenses.").
InBaytank, 934 F.2d at 614 n. 26, we also called into question whether a corporate or institutional defendant is even entitled to present character evidence.
InUnited States v. Lamp, 779 F.2d 1088 (5th Cir.1986), we merely found that the court was entitled to conclude that the proffered character witnesses were insufficiently acquainted with the defendant to render character testimony.
The sentencing guidelines should be interpreted in a way that does not result in cumulative punishment for the same conductUnited States v. Lamere, 980 F.2d 506, 516-17 (8th Cir.1992).
Under § 2A3.4, a base offense level of 16 is assigned to § 2244(a)(1) so far as it covers offenses "committed by the means set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 2241(a) or (b) [but not (c)]." U.S. SENTENCING GUIDELINES MANUAL § 2A3.4(a)(1) (2001). A base offense level of 12 is assigned to § 2244(a)(2), which incorporates crimes committed "by the means set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 2242."Id. § 2A3.4(a)(2). All remaining offenses, which include only § 2244(a)(3) and § 2244(a)(1) so far as it incorporates § 2241(c), are assigned a base offense level of 10. Id. § 2A3.4(a)(3).
Other courts have used similar reasoning in determining that double-counting didnot occur where a defendant received a sentence enhancement because of the age of the victim after being sentenced under U.S.S.G. § 2A3.1 for violating 18 U.S.C. § 2241(c), which criminalizes aggravated sexual assault. E.g., United States v. Wimberly, 60 F.3d 281, 288 (7th Cir.1995); United States v. Balfany, 965 F.2d 575, 584 (8th Cir.1992). Key to the reasoning in these cases was the fact that § 2242, another offense covered under § 2A3.1, does not require that the victim be less than twelve years old, even though § 2241(c) does so require.
One possible explanation for the lack of an age enhancement exemption for § 2244(a)(1) is that Congress did not foresee § 2244(a)(1)'s being used to prosecute defendants through § 2241(c). As discussedsupra part II, we are bound by § 2244(a)(1)'s incorporation of § 2241 in its entirety and will not speculate as to whether Congress intended a meaning at odds with the plain text of § 2244(a)(1).

Can Super Mario Save Swissair?
It was once one of the smoothest-running airlines in Europe. So it has been a shock to investors to witness the mounting disarray at Swissair, Switzerland's flag carrier. In January, Swissair's parent company, SAirGroup, jettisoned CEO Philippe Bruggisser, who had charted the expansion strategy that plunged the company into the red. Then Moritz Suter, airline division chief, bailed out on Mar. 7. The following week, the company said that 9 of its 10 supervisory board members would quit, including Chairman and interim CEO Eric Honegger--a tacit acknowledgment that they had endorsed a bad strategy. "We've never seen anything like this in Switzerland," says Hans-Jacob Heitz, leader of a group of dissident shareholders.
Enter Super Mario. That's how the new CEO, Mario Corti, is known in Switzerland. Corti, the chief financial officer of Swiss food giant Nestle, is the only board member left at the airline. Since he joined in April, 2000, Corti wasn't tainted by the ill-fated alliance strategy which drove the company to buy sizable minority stakes in half a dozen troubled airlines. And he has impressive credentials: Corti vastly improved Nestle's relations with its investors, served once as deputy head of banking at the Swiss central bank, and even holds a pilot's license. "He's a very creative financial guy, and he has strong personal connections," says Joel Markus, chairman of consulting firm Korn Ferry's central European operations. "You need a fast solution here."
Indeed. Swiss newspapers speculate that SAirGroup, which has revenues of around $8 billion, will show a loss of as much as $1.5 billion on Apr. 2, when it reveals its 2000 results. It's not that SAirGroup's expansion strategy was totally flawed. Lufthansa has thrived by building a vast network of airline alliances, while selectively taking equity stakes. SAirGroup went wrong when it invested heavily in second-tier partners, many of which are in trouble. One partner, Belgium's Sabena, is estimated to have lost $180 million last year: SAirGroup pledged last month to inject $136 million into the carrier after unions agreed to cost cuts. TAP of Portugal lost $92 million, and SAirGroup's French affiliates--AOM, Air Littoral, and Air Liberte--are believed to have lost more than $360 million. To help keep its partners afloat and shore up its own finances, Zurich-based SAir may have to sell some of its profitable catering, hotel, or leasing operations to protect its financial health. SAirGroup won't comment.
Investors hope Corti will sell off the stakes in the French and Belgian partners, and sign up with a bigger ally-- transatlantic partner American Airlines, perhaps, or KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Two of the outgoing supervisory board members, Credit Suisse CEO Lukas Muhlemann and prominent Geneva banker Benedict Hentsch, say the group needs to join one of the larger alliances.
The trouble is, SAirGroup may have difficulty attracting other airlines. No shareholder can vote more than 3% of the shares, which means no suitor can take over the entire company. Sabena and the French airlines are so weak that no one may want them. And SAirGroup has an awkward dual-hub system, which means some passengers must fly from Swissair's hub in Zurich to nearby Basel, the hub of SAirGroup's regional carrier Crossair.
OVERBILLING? The biggest obstacle for larger carriers, however, is SAirGroup's tangled alliances and liabilities. Activist Heitz has lined up 100 small shareholders who want an independent audit of the 1999 results, which he thinks may have understated the provisions SAirGroup needed to take to reflect problems with its alliances.
The trouble spills beyond the Swiss borders. In France, a pilots' union representative at AOM, which is 49.9% owned by SAirGroup, may be considering a lawsuit that says SAirGroup's Flightlease subsidiary overbilled AOM on some Airbus planes it leased to the French carrier. SAirGroup declines to comment. With potential liabilities from lawsuits and restated accounts, outsiders aren't likely to invest in SAirGroup soon. "It's like catching a falling knife. Nobody wants to do it," says analyst Corne Zandbergen at Fortis Bank in Amsterdam.
Corti is not expected to unveil a new strategy until a special shareholders' meeting in September. He's appealing to investors to give him time. "I'm not responsible for the past; I'm responsible for the future," he said on TV soon after his appointment as CEO on Mar. 15. Right now, that future looks pretty turbulent.

Hey there, time traveller!

More touches suits Simpson
IT is strictly verboten in football for players or coaches -- especially with game day fast approaching -- to give away any hints whatsoever about a game plan.
But there is at least an expectation that Bomber running back Chad Simpson might be busy this Saturday in Guelph against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, given that running backs have been featured prominently and productive in new offensive co-ordinator Marcel Bellefeuille's offences with other CFL teams in the past.
Right, Chad?
'Y'all have to see. You'll have to wait," Simpson said with a grin. "I'm not going to give it away. "We're in a tough position right now and I don't want to be giving anyone any tips."
But for the second straight day more players in the Bomber offensive meeting rooms were raving about some of the changes Bellefeuille has already made to the game plan.
"He's been on the details with everything with every position," said Simpson. "He's coaching up the O-line, the running backs... he's giving us a little bit more game insight because the CFL game is different. I'm not saying (Gary Crowton) couldn't have done that, but (Bellefeuille) has more experience being in the CFL.
"On offence you just want to read and react and expose a defence for their weaknesses and take advantage of that. I don't think we've been doing that. A lot of teams have been blitzing us and we haven't been having an answer. With this guy coming in and being detailed-oriented and changing a couple of things we should handle that differently... better."
- OUCH REPORT: Receiver Terrence Edwards and offensive tackles Glenn January and Shannon Boatman were back at work Wednesday after missing portions of Tuesday's workout. But defensive back Alex Suber did not practise as he has been hobbled by a foot injury. Bomber head coach Tim Burke said Suber is probable after having positive test results from the training staff. Guard Steve Morley, who has missed the last two days of practice with 'bumps and bruises' should also return on Thursday.
- 'O' TINKERING: With their receiving corps depleted because of injuries to Cory Watson and Chris Matthews, the Bombers were working Clarence Denmark at slotback on Wednesday with Jade Etienne at wide receiver. As well, Burke said fullback Carl Fitzgerald will be added to the roster this week "because we're going to have some new personnel packages and we want to utilize his talents in those."
- MULUMBA WATCH: Defensive end Andy Mulumba, drafted second overall by the Bombers in the 2013 CFL Draft, continues to draw rave reviews with the Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Press-Gazette said it's 'almost certain' Mulumba will make the final roster.
"I thought (Mulumba) jumped out in the spring," coach Mike McCarthy told The Press-Gazette. "It's been no different since he put the pads on. I think he's an excellent fit for our defence. He plays with excellent leverage with his long leverage. He has a nasty streak to him."

Has anyone built a 64-bit version of PLT Scheme for Windows? I currently use my Linux box when I need a 64-bit app and everything runs fine there. However, I am starting to get other users that would like to run the apps on large data sets under the 64-bit version of Windows. I do have a large memory (8GB) machine running 64-bit Vista that I can use (okay, don't give me too much grief), but I'm not sure how to build a 64-bit PLT Scheme there or if it is even possible. Any ideas? - other than reformatting and loading Linux :) As an aside, how about the same question for OS X (on a x86-64 machine)? Or, is that already a 64-bit app?

Keep your mugs snug and cozy with these two quick and easy to make crochet projects--a square mug rug to catch spills and a wrap to keep your mug and beverage hot. You'll need scraps of Lily Sugar 'n Cream (worsted weight dishcloth cotton) and a size H (5 mm) crochet hook. Raid your scrap basket for the 16-30 yards needed for each project. You'll also need a button for the mug wrap. A button with a shank works well for this project. The mug rug measures 4" x 4". The mug wrap is 9" x 3.25". Here's a picture with the wrap on a mug and another laying it out flat.
I think this colorway is called Butter Cream Ombre in Lily Sugar 'n Cream dishcloth cotton.
Wrap up a set of these with a mug. Tuck in some candy, a packet of hot chocolate, some cookies, etc. as a thoughtful and inexpensive gift for someone.
These designs are worked in Tunisian (afghan stitch) crochet. This type of crochet creates a denser fabric than regular crochet stitches. You don't need a Tunisian hook for this project. It is small enough for a regular crochet hook. The instructions are written out. A basic understanding Tunisian crochet might be helpful.
Pattern sells for $2.00 in my Ravelry pattern store.

Letter to MPs for Cham resolution
17/12/2012 18:55
The leader of the Party for Justice, Integration and Unity, Shpetim Idrizi, sent a letter to the Albanian MPs asking them to vote the Cham resolution. He asked the MPs to vote as free individuals, not as members of one wing or another.
"The text that I'm presenting for your support is not a simple document. It is not the product of a personal inspiration, as part f the Cham community, a martyr community that has its collective testament. It is the unification of spoken testaments from our predecessors who died, and those who are about to make this division. This is something I want to share with you", Idrizi wrote.
The PJIU declared that after the fall of the communist regime, Albania became a NATO member and its citizens are allowed to travel free in Europe, thanks to the visa liberalization agreement.
Idrizi added that the resolution of the Cham case demands only legal and universal rights that are incarnated in the most important treaties of the international right, and are an essential part of the EU.
One day ago, the Chameria Association elected the former President Alfred Moisiu as head of the list of Albanians who will sign the petition. He asked the Parliament to approve as soon as possible the draft-resolution filed by MPs Shpetim Idrizi and Dashamir Tahiri.

Ceredigion?s MP Mark Williams has praised Ceredigion County Council for their adoption of the Ceredigion young carer?s charter.
Speaking at the start of Carers Week this week, Mark Williams said;
?It is really pleasing to see Ceredigion County Council take the lead on this issue, and see the work the Red Cross have undertaken on their behalf. Their consultation with young carers revealed that in many instances carers identified one to one support and advice as a key priority.
?Carers are often characterised as elderly relatives looking after partners, or middle aged people looking after elderly relatives. The reality is that many young people have important caring roles for parents which requires understanding and support from schools, the voluntary sector, and Government at all levels.?

Most researchers agree that the growth of a knowledge-based society will bring about fundamental changes in the production, distribution and exchange of information and that almost every social and cultural institution will be changed in some way, but none more than education (Negroponte, 1995; Oppenheimer, 1997; Stevenson, 1997; Upitis, 1997). This is because, more than any other social institution, education is fundamentally about knowledge, information, and communication. Although it certainly makes use of material tools and sometimes results in the production of material goods, these are ancillary to the fundamental process of education: people using knowledge to create more knowledgeable people.
It is therefore not surprising to find considerable support for transforming education so that it is as fully independent as possible from geographic location and physical space. If education does not require a specific spatial location or a building then it can be delivered anywhere. This will, some argue, transform the fundamental infrastructure of education at every level, starting particularly at the post-secondary level, and will fundamentally erode local community or even national control over education. The development of on-line courses, libraries and other information resources, and the marketing of distant or on-line education by businesses and schools eager to profit from opportunities to expand their horizons, are the beginning of what some may see as a revolution in learning. (Veccia, 1998; Wilson, 1997)
In addition to overcoming geographical constraints on the delivery of education, new technologies promise to expand the basic nature of education. In quantitative terms, computer communication is opening up vast new sources of information and learning by enabling on-line access that frees schools from complete dependence on paper delivery. Associated with this is the ability to link written with audio and visual material that can enrich the full range of the learner's senses. The technology also creates a qualitative expansion in the means of education by taking a process rooted in the one-way delivery of knowledge and making it more participatory and reciprocal. Education moves from an emphasis on transmitting information to the active creation of knowledge. Moreover, according to this view, computer communication takes a system of learning based in narrow linear, narrative forms, and opens it up to a wide range of non-linear, exploratory processes that allow the learner to make full use of his or her own multiple cognitive maps. As a result students mutually constitute their learning environments, all of which grow in the learning process. (OECD, 1997: p.120; Veccia, 1998; Wilson, 1997)
But researchers are increasingly acknowledging that the promise of computer mediated education is sadly falling far short of reality. As one generally supportive OECD report concluded: "... the classroom revolution foretold decades ago has failed to materialize. Overall, the school system has not kept pace with the rest of society in terms of IT use . . . " (OECD, 1997: p.134). Indeed, some argue that the promises themselves have been clouding our ability to see the reality and especially to see that, in our rush to realize the dreams of its leading advocates, we have neglected important values, particularly the values of citizenship, that have historically grounded traditional education.
There are several tendencies in computer-mediated education that raise important questions about these conclusions. First, almost all of it takes place in the developed world or in those pockets of the less developed world that are urban and rich. This is largely because, in spite of much talk and some action to provide vital network infrastructure, the vast majority of the world's peoples are without the means to learn in cyberspace. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), only 34 percent of the world's households have telephone service and most of this is concentrated in the developed world. At the beginning of 1997, 62 percent of all main telephone lines were installed in just 23 developed countries (i.e. Australia, Canada, the European Union, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United States). Africa, including South Africa, contains 2 phone lines per 100 population while it is 65 and 35 lines per 100 in the US and Europe, respectively.
Fully 97 percent of all Internet hosts are found in developed countries. Regarding the gap between the level of service provided in the richest and poorest countries, progress has been made, though there is still a considerable way to go before equality will be reached. For example, it is remarkable to note that there are more Internet hosts in Estonia than in Sub-Saharan Africa, excluding South Africa. (ITU, 1998; see also, Press, 1998) In 1993, the US, Western Europe and Japan accounted for about 71 percent of all computers shipped while in 1996, it was 73 percent. In that time the developing world has gone from 19 to 14 percent of all shipments (OECD, 1998, p.21). One might argue that we are in the early stages of computer development and that we are likely to see the gap narrowed as costs decline. Yet, the consistent failure to overcome substantial historic inequities in telephone penetration does not inspire optimism on expanding equity in cyberspace. Moreover, there are also significant gaps within the developed world with the US and UK enjoying about nine students per computer while Japan and Portugal averaging about 50 students per computer (OECD, 1998, p.118).
In addition to the concern about the quantitative gap in access, there is also cause for reflection on the type of training that is taking place in cyberspace and in the type of content that is most heavily emphasized. Specifically, although there are exceptions, much of the learning in cyberspace is technical training that reflects the one-way, linear, and passive approaches that have characterized traditional education. According to a one multi-million dollar US study, schools use networks for teaching and learning in, what the researchers concluded, were the most obvious and pedestrian ways. (Kaye, et. al., 1996)
Experts in instructional design worry that educators are seduced by the sheer amount of information available on the Internet while administrators, attracted by the potential to save on instructor costs, conclude that it is only necessary to point students to the data and learning will follow. Instructional design expert M. David Merrill demurs: " We need to wake up and recognize that information is not instruction. There is this belief that all you need for learning is information and collaboration. Put enough people and enough information on the Web and learning will happen. There isn't enough guidance and structure on the Internet for someone to learn a systematic body of knowledge." (Zemke, 1998; see also Noble, 1997)
A Harvard professor of education agrees, noting that "the most mindless use of computers is at the elementary level." (Bronner, 1997) In relation, there is significant concern that we are moving ahead with computer applications in schools (US spending on technology in schools is expected to grow by $5.2 billion over $4.3 billion in 1997), without conducting serious research on their impacts. The Dean of the Faculty of Education at Queen's University in Canada provides a sobering summary of what we do know about the impact of information and communication technology on education, in comments on a multi-million dollar study funded by three US government departments: "The overarching conclusions were that school districts had not evaluated the impact of computer networks on student achievement with scant attention being paid to their effectiveness. The critical question remaining was stated as such: 'Do computer networks improve student education?' - ironically the very question the study sought to answer. But what is startling - inconceivable, in fact - is that the researchers nevertheless recommended that government policies, supported by the private sector, should be established to ensure stable and long-term funding for computer networks, so that school district networks might become more widely accessible to teachers, students, parents, school staff, and computer members at large." (Upitis, 1997: 4; Kaye, et. al., 1996; cf. Stevenson, 1997)
It is, unfortunately, easy for this form of logic to win out. However, because another form of logic, the logic of the marketplace has made the business of education and its cost-effective delivery by technological means a very attractive option for firms like Microsoft, which is now one of the major forces in what is increasingly called the education industry (Newman, 1997; Noble, 1997). As a result, there is a growing concern that cyberspace is evolving into a largely commercial space, an electronic mall whose main activity is electronic or e-commerce rather than public debate and education. (Stoll, 1995; Sussman, 1997) By 1997, one-fourth of all Internet sites were fully commercial while the rest were partially commercial sites that used national or other domain names. (OECD, 1998, p.36). Although information retrieval and electronic mail helped the Internet to a remarkable beginning, the fastest growing uses of the Net are now electronic commerce and advertising. Anyone contemplating the use of cyberspace for genuine education must confront an increasingly commercial environment whose goal is to teach new generations of consumers how to shop electronically (The Information Society, 1997; Hansell, 1997).
Notwithstanding the value of technical and consumer skills, it is important to make learning, how to become a citizen of cyberspace, an ethical imperative of on-line education. Indeed, citizenship education is a necessary grounding for learning how to fully use the Internet while the Internet itself can be an important tool for developing effective citizenship. It is absolutely essential to invoke citizenship today because citizenship elevates human activity beyond the commonly accepted view that the best way, indeed for some the only way, to define human activity is by its marketplace value, its worth as a consuming or laboring commodity.
The widely accepted view of citizenship is that elevation has also been accompanied by extension. Here it is common to invoke the work of T.H Marshall (1964) who charted the progress of citizenship in modern Western society starting with the legal sense of basic rights and protections, for example, habeas corpus, due process, the presumption of innocence and the right of trial by a jury of one's peers. From here, citizenship was extended to encompass political rights, particularly the right to vote and public assembly. Finally, social citizenship stretches the notion to include the right to employment, housing, health care and other social welfare benefits.
Citizenship in the new electronic age means treating cyberspace as a public space or "new commons" to which all people have rights of access and participation, reasonable expectations of privacy and security, and along with these rights, civic responsibilities of active involvement in this new commons and mutual respect for fellow cyber-citizens. (Garnham, 1997) Genuine education for an information society starts by teaching these principles and by using the Net as one among the many means to implement them.
We are beginning to accumulate a body of exemplars, which provide important guidance for developing the practice of citizenship in cyberspace. One of the most important is the establishment of community nets or freenets which bring together people in a city, town or neighborhood, providing essential information about public services, in addition to material normally found on the Internet. Freenets provide two essential elements missing in most of the commercial networks. First, because they make use of servers provided by educational, non-profit or other donor organizations, freenets offer low cost access for users. This is particularly important for low-income people who, even in the most developed societies, have little chance of using the Net. Secondly, they locate terminals in public places like post offices, libraries, schools, and markets, enabling people to make use of the net without having to purchase a computer. (Noack, 1998; see also Doheny-Farina, 1996)
With regard to education, several countries have initiated programs to provide hardware, develop content, establish public networks, provide teacher training, initiate research on educational innovation, and promote distant and adult education. (OECD, 1997: pp.122-134) For example, the Canadian government has established the Computers for Schools program that channels surplus computer equipment and software from public and private sector partners to needy schools. Its joint federal and provincial School-Net program connects libraries and schools alike to the World Wide Web.
The Ministry of Human Resources Development conducts research and supports demonstration projects across Canada on learning applications in schools and in employment training. The federal and provincial governments have also pioneered in delivering distant education to the scattered populations of the Canadian North. (Canada, Industry Canada, 1995, 1997) Canada provides just one among several other national examples of a commitment to the principles of citizenship in cyberspace. Nevertheless, as with other nations, Canada's commitment is under constant challenge, particularly from those interested in making cyberspace a private space, largely oriented to commercial activity and open only to those who can pay for access and security.
In conclusion, there is considerable potential in the educational uses of cyberspace, but there are also many challenges and dangers. Computers can provide the means to explore new forms of learning that break out of the traditional hierarchies of educational bureaucracy and develop genuine alternatives to rigid, passive approaches to learning. But they can also reify those hierarchies if they are applied without a commitment to the principles of equality, participation, privacy, mutual respect and responsibility that historically provided the foundation for many of our systems of public education. New technologies can also entice us into thinking that the technology alone will overcome problems of equity and excessive commercialization. Experience suggests that this is not the case and calls for a commitment to the principles of citizenship, including strong support from the agencies of civil society and the public sphere, in order to make cyberspace a rich community itself and an instrument to enrich our existing communities.

Who wouldn't want to be in One Direction? Even if you're not a big fan of their music you still probably wouldn't mind living a day in the shoes of Harry Styles, or Zayn Malik, or Niall Horan, or Louis Something-or-Other, or That One with the Short Hair. Even though it'd be illegal for you to do anything with the kind of girls they attract other than politely smile and wave, you could still have a go on Taylor Swift, then you could leave her and tell her that you and her are never ever ever ever getting back together and she'd probably laugh, because that joke's still really funny.
But while you can't be in One Direction (all the vacancies are filled) you CAN be in the NEXT One Direction. Simply gather four of your friends, follow these simple instructions and wait for record deals/female attention to be lavished upon you. Maybe.
Coordinate Your Clothes
When you are in a boy band you will no longer be recognised as an individual, but rather an anthropomorphic blob with a carefully constructed fringe and enough sexual virility to power a small car. The reason behind this is that boy bands typically colour coordinate when gracing the red carpet at movie premieres and such, as evidenced by the image at the top of this article, where four out of the five members of One Direction are wearing a combination of brown/black-coloured attire. Niall Horan was the only member not conforming, instead opting to wear all black, but as he is Irish we can just assume that he was hammered.
Decide Upon Your Personas
You can't all be the Funny One or the Sexy One – one of you is going to have to be the Forgettable One and another is going to have to be the Endearingly Ugly One. It's just the way it works. If you're all too handsome then you're going to come across as too threatening, whereas if you're all too funny you will all be friend-zoned, meaning that instead of going on stage and singing for your legions of adoring fans you will instead have to sit quietly and listen to their relationship problems.
Sing Songs that Teenage Girls Can Relate To
Teenagers are stupid. Teenage boys do stupid things like punch each other in the mouth and set each other on fire, while teenage girls do stupid things like fall in unrequited love with members of a band they've never met. "You don't know you're beautiful!" sang Harry Styles in One Direction's first hit single. "OMG ITZ LIKE EHS SINGIN ABOUT ME CUZ IM GOIN THRU PUBERTY + THERFOR I DNT LIKE LOOKIN IN MIRRORS", tweeted an abundance of teenage girls. If you want the same effect, sing songs that teenage girls can relate to, with titles such as 'I Agree, Stacey is a Massive Slag', or 'A Heavy Flow Don't Mean I'll Say No'.
Look Like You Have Sex
At the time of writing The Jonas Brothers are now working part-time at your local fast food restaurant, but a few years ago they were at the top of the world with their floppy hair and "purity" rings. The Jonas Brothers marketed chastity to teenage girls who wanted nothing more than to boink them, and as such it became every girls' dream to "turn" them. However, when it became clear that the Jonasasas' were never going to stop being prudes, One Direction swooped in wearing their penises on their shoulders and told these girls that, hey, it's OK to have sex, even if you aren't married to the person that you have sex with, because sex feels good, and would you like to go for a drink with me sometime? I'm in a really popular boy band, and I have hair like a fluffy brown cloud. Here's my number. Call me.

Frank Lowy's retail giant Westfield, Lend Lease, CFS Retail, Brookfield or large Asian-based investment funds, are potential buyers of the two flagship stores owned by department store chain David Jones.
Under the title, the stores are split into two sites in Sydney - Elizabeth and Market streets - and in Melbourne with the women's and men's fashion stores at Bourke Street Mall.
Given there are only four stores, it would not make a very diversified single-asset trust, but the assets would help to boost a larger fund.
The assets were valued at a combined $46o million but analysts said that could rise, given the prime city locations. Cushman & Wakefield estimates the sale value of the four flagship properties is $612 million, above the $460 million book value.
Westfield already has a strong relationship in Sydney, with its walkways to the adjoining Westfield Sydney site. If allowed by authorities such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Westfield could buy the sites, shrink the department store with a leaseback to David Jones and use the excess space for other tenants.

The 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' actor is said to be Burton's top pick to star as Geppetto, the man who creates puppet-turned-real boy Pinocchio, in the live-action take on the classic tale.
After playing Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey Jr. might portray another iconic character in his upcoming movie. The actor has been courted to star in Tim Burton's possible next film project, "Pinocchio (2013)", which is planned to be a live-action version. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Iron Man" actor is Burton's top pick to play Geppetto, the woodcarver who creates puppet Pinocchio which then turns to be a real boy.
Neither Downey Jr. nor Burton has sealed a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, but Burton is strongly interested to helm the film and is currently in talks with the studio. On the other hand, Downey Jr. has reportedly expressed "serious interest" in the project, but his tight schedule might be a barrier.
Warners hopes that both Downey Jr. and Burton would sign on to the project soon so that it could be fast-tracked. It is said that if Burton, who also plans an adaptation of "Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children" at 20th Century Fox, chooses to make another movie before "Pinocchio", Warners might move offer the project to other directors.
The original "Pinocchio" story was written by Italian children book author Carlo Collodi in 1883. The story has been adapted several times, including the 1940 Walt Disney Pictures' classic animation. The upcoming live-action version, meanwhile, centers on Geppetto as he embarks on a journey to reunite with his missing puppet.
Aside from this potential Tim Burton project, Warners develops another "Pinocchio" movie which is designed as a stop-motion version. This upcoming film is written by Guillermo Del Toro, Matthew Robbins and Gris Grimly, who will also serve behind the lens along with Adam Parrish King.

ST. FRANCISVILLE — Economic development officials are hoping the Canadian National Railroad will sell an unused section of rail line between Baker and southern West Feliciana Parish to a buyer who will put it back into operation.
The railroad has about 22 miles of unused track running from a point south of Baker through Zachary and Slaughter. The tracks then turn to the west, crossing La. 964 and U.S. 61, and end at the former Crown Zellerbach paper mill in West Feliciana Parish, West Feliciana Parish Economic Development Director Dennis Manshack said.
The track is known as the Z Line, Manshack said.
It has been inactive for about five years, but Manshack said the current owner of the paper mill, KPAQ Industries, wants the line operating to deliver raw materials, including wood chips and chemicals, to the plant and to transport its products.
Canadian National has sent bid solicitations to parties that have expressed interest in buying the line.
The bids are due March 1 to indicate price, terms and conditions and timing, Manshack told the West Feliciana Parish Economic Development Board on Thursday.
He said three short-line rail companies have expressed interest in the line.
Although KPAQ would be the number one customer on the line, its success may depend on getting other businesses to use it for shipping, Manshack noted.
State Rep. Kenny Havard, R-St. Francisville, said East Feliciana Parish's economic development district board also is interested in the proposal.
