Give me the money: Bush clears the way for Obama to demand remaining $350billion bailout funds
Barack Obama is trying to get swift access to the final $350 billion in the U.S. financial bailout fund.
In an extraordinary tag-teaming displaying, President George Bush yesterday asked Congress for the final money, just days before Mr Obama takes power.
By doing so Mr Bush effectively ceded the economic reins to the President-elect.
He also offered Mr Obama a few words of advice: Do what you think is right. Avoid self-pity. And be ready for that one moment when it really hits you: Yes, you are the president.
Tag team: George Bush ceded the economic reins of power to Barack Obama yesterday
In a remarkably candid and nostalgic goodbye news conference, Mr Bush repeatedly offered Mr Obama support.
'I wish him all the best,' Mr Bush said. 'And people say, 'Oh, you just, that's just a throwaway line.' No, it's not a throwaway line. The stakes are high. There is an enemy that still is out there.
'You know, people can maybe try to write that off as, you know, he's trying to set something up. I'm telling you there's an enemy that would like to attack America - Americans - again. There just is. That's the reality of the world.'
He also told Mr Obama not to let the 'loud voices' of harsh criticism deter him from pursuing what he thinks is best for the country.
'He'll get in the Oval Office and there will be a lot of people that are real critical and harsh, and he'll be disappointed at times by the tone of the rhetoric,' Mr Bush said. 'And he's going to have to do what he thinks is right. And if you don't, then I don't see how you can live with yourself.'
Sometimes, Mr Bush said, that may include a decision that makes him uncomfortable. The president cited his own move to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to shore up the economy in an emergency, a move he said went against his own free-market philosophy.
One week to go: An invitation for the inauguration of Barack Obama
But as for the burdens of the presidency? Overstated, Bush said. He said the Oval Office is no place for woe-is-me thinking.
'It's pathetic, isn't it, self-pity?' Bush said. 'And I don't believe that President-elect Obama will be full of self-pity.'
But as he battled to get Mr Obama access to the remainder of the bailout fund, Mr Obama sharply criticised Mr Bush's handling of the money and promised radical changes.
He also said it would be 'irresponsible' to take office next week without any potential ammunition to use in case the financial system weakens further.
Now Mr Obama is due to visit the Capitol today to attend a weekly closed-door meeting of Senate Democrats to make the case for the bailout funds - if the subject came up.
Mr Bush's move sets the stage for Mr Obama to get quick access to the $350 billion and the opportunity to overhaul the much-criticised rescue package after taking office in one week today.
Congress, where the use of the money has met stiff bipartisan skepticism, has 15 days to vote to reject the request.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was considering holding a vote on a resolution of disapproval as early as Thursday in hopes it would be defeated, thus making the funds available about a week after Mr Obama inherits one of the worst financial crises in U.S. history.
If Congress goes along, Mr Obama would have a huge cache of bailout money at his disposal - and much more to come in the approximately $800 billion economic stimulus bill that Democratic congressional leaders promise to finish by mid-February.
Congress also is racing to have ready for Mr Obama a $35 billion health insurance program for children.
Mr Obama acted quickly, sending prompt reassurances to congressional leaders that the money would aim to help free credit for small businesses and consumers and reduce the rising number of home foreclosures.
'Many of us have been disappointed with the absence of clarity, the lack of transparency, the failure to track how the money's been spent and the failure to take bold action,' Mr Obama said.
Mr Obama and the Bush administration had been negotiating for days on how and when to seek access to the second half of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
At his final news conference yesterday, Mr Bush defended his handling of the first $350 billion.
'I readily concede I chucked aside some of my free market principles when I was told by chief economic advisers that the situation we were facing could be worse than the Great Depression,' the president said.
But he credited the programme so far with improving the credit environment, saying that 'lending is just beginning to pick up.'
Congress approved the program in October, authorising $700 billion to assist the financial industry.
The current administration has already committed the first $350 billion, using it to inject capital into banks with few strings attached and to bail out ailing financial companies considered too big to fail without further damage to the economy.
A small portion of the money has gone to automakers General Motors Corp., and Chrysler LLC.

"The sweeping beach views from every room in the house, plus the location within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops in Siesta Key Village made for a most relaxing and memorable family vacation! We liked the layout of the house, with the bedrooms upstairs and away from the living space. The kitchen is well equipped, and the very large flat panel wall-mounted TV in the living room was great for "movie nights". There's a Weber gas grill on the deck outside the kitchen which we used and enjoyed. The garage contained an assortment of beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, toys, etc. which saved us from making our usual trip to a store buy these items. This house is an excellent choice if you're looking for a place where you can just park the car for the duration of your vacation, and walk a very short distance to a great variety of restaurants, shops, and stores (only 0.2 miles to the Daiquiri Deck restaurant/bar!). Being on the northern end of the island, you also have a short and easy drive to Marina Jacks, St. Armands Circle, and other points of interest near downtown Sarasota. Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home, and we'll certainly be coming back in future years."Guest: kevin c. Date of Stay: July 2016 Review Submitted: August 1, 2016View listing
"First of all, Mike was such a kind and knowledgeable owner to work with! He was prompt to respond to my email/texts when booking the property. We had never stayed at this resort - last time we were in Siesta we only had one child and were expecting. So now with a 2 and 4 year old, security and a place that met our family's need was a must! I was very pleased with the secure setup at this resort. You had to have a key in order to open the gate into the condos. The parking was great in that it is actually underneath the building so no concerns with wind/storm damage as compared to large overhead carports. The condo was clean and nicely furnished. There was glass and plastic tumblers/plates for the girls. Although a side view of the beach, it was very beautiful and unobstructed. The rooms were nice sized and comfortable to sleep in. The layout was very open which was great when making meals to be able to see what our girls were doing. Washer and dryer in the condo was a great plus! We brought beach toys, but there was a nice assortment there to use as well. Master shower was nicely tiled. I do wish the guest bedroom had larger beds than two twins. The girls ended up sleeping with us in the king all week because they roll so much, the twins were just not suited for them. Other than that, it it was an amazing vacation with many lasting memories! :)"Guest: Lisa S. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: July 4, 2016View listing

"My wife and I have traveled to Punta Cana, Mexico, And other Oceanview destinations, But we both agree this is #1. We are in the g88 condo at the Palm Bay Club. We have no idea where the complaints are coming from. This place is great. The beach is perfect. To the left out the driveway is Siesta Key Village, Restaurants, Pubs, Nightlife, And beach shops.(2 to 3 mile walk or drive). To the right out the driveway is the Outlets, Sit down restaurants, And everything you want. Want to go to Village and have drinks and not drive or walk, They have FREE Jerry rides that you call, They'll pick you up and drop you back off at your condo. (They drive for tips). Only regret my wife and I have is, We didn't find this place sooner. A+ for us."Guest: Frank Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: June 22, 2016View listing

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is conceding that an 82-game regular season is unlikely. Speaking at a press conference to announce the New York Islanders' pending move to Brooklyn yesterday, Bettman said the union has opted not to negotiate off the league's proposal from last week that called for a 50-50 split of revenue. Bettman says a labor deal would have to be in place by Thursday in order for that to happen and the two sides aren't even talking.

Dealing with an icon is tricky, something the Grossi family must
be aware of, having bought the Florentino back in 1999. An
undisputed Melbourne restaurant landmark, it has operated since the
1920s, is heritage-listed, loved by the city's great and powerful
(and their parents and grandparents before them), and is a
foundation stone of local Italian food culture. So the Florentino
presents such a minefield of potentially trodden-on toes and
disjointed noses that maintaining the status quo and remaining
solvent must require some pretty fancy footwork indeed.
This notoriously change-averse city has largely approved of Guy Grossi's tenure at the three-tiered business (the restaurant, the Grill and the Cellar Bar), despite an initial dash for the smelling salts when he added his family's own name to the restaurant's.
But recently, Grossi Florentino has appeared to be on autopilot at times. As last year's GT Restaurant Guide review put it, "The icing here… is as sweet as ever, but the cake itself needs work." It's an impression fuelled not only by Guy Grossi's media profile but also by the Grossi family's business expansion (Mirka, Merchant, Ombra, an outpost in Bangkok) in the decades since they bought the Florentino.
A perception like that stings because as well as being an icon, Grossi Florentino is also an expensive restaurant. When main courses edge towards $60, they bring with them some seriously raised expectations that a beautiful room and a stellar history can only partially meet.
So whether or not it was in response to the muttering, change arrived at Grossi Florentino early this year. The restaurant closed for nine weeks for a spruce-up and renovation, and has reopened looking gorgeous and revitalised with a new bar, a new private room and new bathrooms in the mix. The food has had a makeover too, the menu slimmed down and a modern approach (sometimes self-consciously so) apparent in the presentation and some ingredients. There's nothing radical in the changes - history and legacy have wisely been kept front and centre - but there's certainly more going on now than business as usual.
There are moments that can feel like change for change's sake. It's debatable whether the blue glass beads scattered around the Moonlight Flat oysters from Batemans Bay are anything but a major misfire presentation-wise, particularly when all the colour and movement you need are already there in the respectfully treated shellfish and the interesting and powerful verjuice, kiwifruit and fennel dipping sauce.
But then a honeycomb tripe dish arrives in a cast-iron pan on a rough-hewn slab of tree trunk (replete with bark falling off onto the linen cloth) and, incongruous as it may seem in the grand context of the wood-panelled, chandeliered, carpeted Mural Room, it seems like a perfectly acceptable part of the plan.
This could, of course, be because the dish is so good, the tripe blanched and chopped into small pieces, slow-cooked with vegetables, white wine, cannellini beans and tomato paste, topped with a breadcrumb and pecorino crust and accompanied by a refreshing, zesty mint, lemon and parsley battuto for sprinkling over the top. It's a rustic, comforting dish, which is why the rustic presentation works. But the precision in the cooking links it nicely with the opulent room.
Similarly, the "oca in onto", a beautifully conceived dish, blends thoroughly modern looks with traditional influences, from the Veneto region (from where the famiglia Grossis originally hailed). Translating a little unappetisingly as "fatty goose", the dish is a vibrant mix of confit goose meat, intense and deeply flavoured goose prosciutto, goose liver parfait sandwiched in house-made spiced bread, preserved quince, purslane leaves and some buckwheat scattered about for texture. The flavours and textures work beautifully together and it looks the goods, modern and dramatic, while being grounded by its trad culinary roots. It's the kind of dish that's completely simpático with the newly renovated restaurant, given the deft post-reno blend of traditional and modern happening at the top of the stairs.
The most notable change to the décor is that the poky rabbit-warren feel that plagued the upstairs landing has been eliminated by the presence of a new glassed-in private dining room with a glass-walled wine cellar at the back. It gives a more spacious and generous first impression of the entrance than ever before.
Over to the right of the landing, the Wynn Room has scored a smart new marble bar, partitions that screen the room from the stairs, and a pale colour scheme that, along with the large tree-level windows that flood the place with light, make this an elegantly serene and intimate space, particularly at lunchtime.
Changes to the Mural Room have, sensibly but no doubt necessarily, been kept to a minimum. The original chandeliers (removed and replaced in the 1980s) have been reinstalled and the detailed paintwork and plasterwork have been touched up so the room now has both the softly glimmering appeal of freshly polished old brass and an effortless sense of occasion. It's a backdrop that works particularly well with the more luxurious big-ticket items on the menu.
Why wouldn't you order roast partridge in this setting? The bird arrives on a pile of textured buckwheat risotto made creamy with puréed parsnip and flecked with confit partridge meat. The breast has the juiciness that results from sous-vide cooking, the skin is tan and shiny from searing, and quince purée and braised chestnuts add further dimensions. You could argue that a traditional smooth-grained risotto, rather than the more textured, rustic buckwheat version here, might have been a better fit with the delicate partridge and the surrounds, but roughing up some of the edges seems part of the Grossi plan.
You can see it in the little blocks of birch wood that sit on every table as decoration, topped with, say, a garlic bulb and a mini pumpkin or perhaps lovely purple and green baby artichokes. It's kind of hokey, like the little scraps of red and white gingham that sit under the appetisers, and the rustic bread rolls that come accompanied by butter and creamed cured lard, and the arrival of some dishes on blocks of wood or chunky earthenware, but there's something endearing about it, a signal that, despite all the luxe, this is a restaurant that has its feet in the soil.
You can applaud the attitude when dishes as good as the suckling
pig arrive - gorgeous meat, glorious crackling, a wonderful apple
cider sauce, and the interesting and welcome native pepperberry
scattered about the plate: used with caution, it's a nice addition
to the sweet and delicate meat.
More applause for the sensational duck and porcini tortellini - earthy, chewy poster children for great pasta, aided by pitch-perfect fresh, sweet notes in the form of candied pear . And put your hands together for the excellent risotto Venere, perfectly cooked rice and a winning combo of Moreton Bay bugs and parmesan sabayon bringing it home.
Not everything lives up to the promise, and that's when the window dressing comes under slightly more cynical scrutiny. The flavour of a Flinders Island wallaby fillet, beautifully cooked and coloured, gets lost under the citric onslaught of a blood-orange sauce. A great dish of roasted barramundi and pearl meat is hijacked by the puzzling addition of a pudding-like milk curd. These are exceptions rather than the rule, but the same high price tag applies.
When it comes to service, Grossi Florentino fires on all cylinders. Led by the calm and smiling Joe Durrant, the style here is both warm and efficient, and a high level of skill and experience are apparent. No tricks are missed. Some might dismiss the Grossi Florentino tradition of rinsing wine glasses with a little wine at the table before pouring a full glass as smoke and mirrors, but it's undoubtedly theatrical. And when it's done tableside on a laden tray while the server keeps up a string of interesting and amusing banter, it becomes truly impressive.
There's a generous selection of wines by the glass, too, and the wine list itself, a hefty 43-page beast is impressive, particularly the large section for half-bottles. Unsurprisingly, it's not the cheapest list in town, but there is plenty of good drinking to be had, particularly for fans of Italian wine (listed by region, covering most of the country) and for those who feel it's not a meal without a benchmark Aussie chardonnay or Burgundy on the table.
The dessert end of the meal is where Grossi pulls out all the modern stops. Millefoglie consists of crisp layers of thinly sliced, sugared, oven-dried eggplant in place of the usual pastry; they share a plate with white chocolate and milk chocolate mousses, ricotta ice-cream, eggplant marmalade, gingerbread crumbs and coffee pudding. It's a curious beast, lovely looking and interestingly flavoured, busy but ultimately successful, if only for incorporating eggplant into a dessert.
Similarly wacky and good-looking but more coherent is the "lemon, lime and bitters", served in a glass containing lemon panna cotta, tonka bean marshmallows, lime foam, Angostura bitters spray, toffee sauce and pine nut streusel crumbs. Add peppermint tea ice-cream on the side and the concoction should be a car crash, but Grossi not only manages to pull it all together, he makes it a lot of fun to eat as well.
There are probably purists who will frown at such dessert tomfoolery, thinking a classic semifreddo-like take on the sweet stuff would be more appropriate in these august surrounds. And there's probably a good argument to be made about Grossi Florentino being best served by a menu of Italian classics chock-full of luxury ingredients. Yet there's no denying that the recent changes have given the place a freshness, a spring in its step and a sense of adventure that's not been as obvious for quite some time. The weight of history will always confer icon status on Grossi Florentino, but now that Guy Grossi is mixing it up a little, he's making it an icon on his own terms too.

A 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck off Kaohsiung, the Hong Kong Observatory said yesterday. The quake, recorded in Hong Kong at 9.55am yesterday, was centered about 130km south-southeast of Kaohsiung. It wasn't immediately clear if the quake led to any casualties or damages, but the tremor was so far away from Taiwan that authorities didn't issue a report on it.

One of the perennial questions we ask ourselves is whether all of nature is there for us to use and then discard or whether mankind owes a debt to nature. Many humans do have an instinct to personalize the natural world in the form of Mother Nature and to see the planet as a complex living thing... the so-called Gaia outlook. Questions like this are usually raised when a man-made disaster, such as the current Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe, occurs.
When we, and much of the world, were agrarians, we took better care of our natural surroundings. We needed the land and water for nourishment and the air for breath itself...and we still do. But we continue to pay a heavy price for a century and a half of industrialization, much of it pursued as if the land, water, and air were free goods that would have to somehow heal themselves or that we would leave to our children to clean up. The industries that poisoned the waterways, soil, and air were almost never around to pay for the damage.
As there are born liberals and born conservatives, I've come to believe that some of us have an instinct to protect nature and some do not. Barring some magical transformation of human nature, that will probably always be so. But, as mankind makes war on nature as we are now doing in the Gulf, little is heard from the "drill, baby, drill" crowd, so willing to take risks at nature's expense recently. And the president, himself recently converted to off-shore drilling, is now having second thoughts.
As, in a more perfect world, it would be civilized and mature to hold public discourse without the screams and finger-pointing of the day, so it would be helpful if to no one else but future generations and Nature herself to take into account the damage we so casually do in order to drive inefficient vehicles and burn lights in empty rooms.
For a time, as after Exxon Valdez, we will look with sorrow at the oil-coated birds and beaches and sympathize with the out-of-work fishermen. "How's that drilly, oily stuff workin' for ya' these days," no politician will cutely ask. But, not long thereafter, "drill, baby, drill" will return, and with it the scorn for those who think we all might owe Nature a little more respect.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 112 reviews
Having stayed at the connecting sister-hotel Ibis which is lower rating and lower priced, I was expecting more from Novotel. I was disappointed. The amenities were no different from Ibis (shampoo yes, no conditioner, no lotions). The bathroom towels were dirty with dried up parsley and stains. Ugh! The only redeeming quality in this hotel is dining. Belgian Cafe and their roof top bar are awesome places for drinks and food. Their staff are also very professional, yet friendly. If I am getting 2-star treatment, might as well pay 2-star prices. I'd stay and pay Ibis prices than 100+ dhs more for Novotel.
Very nice hotel I will recommend it to everyone goes to Abu Dhabi
This hotel takes the minimalist approach. For the price, there are much better hotels.
Nice Clean Quality Rooms
The Novotel Abu Dhabi Gate is like an oasis. There is not too much around the hotel. But it is self sufficient. Nice breakfast and nice pool and gym. Rooms very comfortable.

Co-Op Theatre East (COTE) and Mixed Phoenix Theatre Group (MPTG) are embarking on their most ambitious project to date, the debut of Muzungu, a new full-length work from emerging playwright David Myers, directed by COTE Co-Artistic Director Robert A. K. Gonyo and featuring MPTG Co-Artistic Director Ryan Victor Pierce alongside Nneoma Nkuku (Law and Order: SVU, Boardwalk Empire). In celebration of this collaboration, both groups are hosting a wine tasting benefit on Thursday, August 11th at Space On White.
Muzungu follows the journey of Mathew, an American aid worker, as he travels to present-day Rwanda. The play explores the unseen motives in doing good and the unexpected consequences in lending a helping hand. Muzungu will be produced at the 4th Street Theatre from October 14th through October 30th, 2011.
The Muzungu Wine Benefit will feature a sneak preview of original production designs, clips from the play, and a chance to mingle with the actors and artistic team. Wine will be provided by Hampton's Wine and Liquors, along with live jazz music from Jim Whitney on bass and Pete Smith on guitar. Artwork from local artist, Mark Perry, will also be on display. Tax-deductible tickets are $100 and proceeds go to support the production. The benefit will take place at Space On White, 81 White Street in Tribeca, on August 11th from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. For reservations please email email@example.com.

Good Laptop Gains Little From Built-In Cell Receiver
WiFi wireless networking has spoiled a lot of laptop users. The experience of getting instant broadband Internet access from the nearest wireless hot spot has programmed many people into thinking that they need only flip open a laptop to jump online -- and usually for free.
But in the overwhelming majority of the world, WiFi isn't there for the taking, even if you're willing to pay for it.
There's always dial-up access, but that means tying the laptop down to a fixed point and putting up with slow connect times and slow downloads.
Cellular data services, meanwhile, didn't acquire any sort of acceptable speed until a few years back and, with one exception, still trail far behind cable and DSL broadband. Their costs vary between excessive and extortionate. Finally, they demand that you pay extra for a special receiver card that will plug up your laptop's PC Card slot (if it has one) and require that you install its own peculiar software drivers.
Sony's new Vaio T350 laptop addresses one of those problems. It doesn't make wireless data access any faster or cheaper than before. But in addition to its WiFi capability, it includes a built-in cellular data receiver that works out of the box and leaves the PC Card slot open for other uses.
This seems like something that should have been done a long time ago. But there are some good reasons not to build in a cellular data receiver just yet, as the T350 winds up demonstrating.
As with any other type of cell phone, the T350's receiver can talk to only one type of wireless network, GSM (Global System for Mobile communication), and is set up to work with only one wireless carrier, Cingular.
Cingular's data service runs on a version of GSM called EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution), with advertised download speeds ranging from 70 to 135 kilobits per second (kbps).
Logging onto Cingular's EDGE service requires simply selecting that option from Sony's jargon-laden wireless-networking software, then waiting for the laptop to connect. A 30-day free trial is included in both available service plans: $50 for 50 megabytes of data use or $80 for unlimited use.
With a clear signal -- four or five bars of indicated strength, out of five total -- things proceeded pleasantly. When the test Vaio T350P, a pre-production unit lent by Sony, had just booted up, it took about 30 seconds to detect the wireless receiver and log on. Afterward (except for one time when the laptop couldn't find the receiver after waking up from standby mode), connections took less than 10 seconds.
As long as the signal remained strong enough, connection speeds averaged just below twice those of dial-up: around 90 kbps for downloads and 50 kbps for uploads.
That's awful compared with WiFi but far superior to the alternative of dial-up or nothing at all. Looking up information online required minimal patience, and I could download reasonably small files (for instance, updates to the antivirus software) without aggravation.
Unfortunately, when the wireless signal dropped to three or fewer bars of coverage, a different personality emerged in this laptop. Downloads slowed down precipitously, and sites loaded haltingly or not at all. I'd get the header graphic of a page, then have the connection time out on me. Browsing the Web under these conditions was a relentlessly miserable experience.
Sony designed this compact machine for extended use away from any sort of outlet, for power or data. The review model weighed under 3.1 pounds, with the power adapter adding almost 0.9 pounds. Battery life while on Cingular's network (but with WiFi switched off) ran to about 4 hours and 40 minutes in two tests.
Aside from the high cost -- $2,299 for the tested configuration -- the T350 is a good portable computer in general. Despite its compact dimensions (the wide-format screen measures just 10.6 inches diagonally) its keyboard was comfortable to use.
With a 50-gigabyte hard drive, combination CD-DVD drive that burns both types of discs, two USB and one four-pin FireWire (labeled "i.Link" by Sony) expansion ports, Bluetooth wireless and an open PC Card slot, it offers more utility and expandability than some far heftier laptops.
But I'd still rather add cellular data access to a laptop in the old-fashioned way, by popping in a PC Card receiver.
Cingular's EDGE service may cover more territory than any other carrier's data offering, as the company says in its marketing materials, but in many major cities it's far slower than the evolution data only wireless service (known as EvDO) sold by Verizon and, soon, Sprint.
Instead of merely doubling dial-up's speeds, EvDO offers downloads of 600 kbps or more, almost as fast as basic DSL service. Verizon's EvDO service, called BroadbandAccess, costs no more than Cingular's EDGE connection, even though it's about five times as fast. (It's a real accomplishment to make Verizon's data charges look like a bargain.)
But the EDGE receiver in the T350 can't ever tap into an EvDO connection.
Then again, a laptop with EvDO built in would simply put me in a different set of handcuffs; EvDO will itself eventually fall behind other wireless technologies.
What I want is a technology that companies such as Intel are working on -- "software-defined radio," in which a computer-driven receiver can adapt itself to different frequencies and systems as needed.
When that becomes a commercial reality, you'll be able to buy a laptop that can get on anybody's network.
Better yet, a software-defined radio will be something that, unlike current cell phones, wireless carriers can't own or control. It will let customers switch from one connection to another as they wish, taking their hardware as they go. That's going to drive these companies nuts. I can't wait.

Christy Little (Go! editor)
I joined the Journal-World staff in June 2001 as a copy editor. Since then, I have served as special sections editor, producing content such as the KU and Progress editions, and also sponsored the J-W teen advisory board from 2002 to 2005.
I'm now editor of the Go! section, which publishes on Mondays. You won't see my byline too often, because most of my job takes place behind the scenes — editing, layout and production work for Pulse and Go! I also coordinate arts notes for the Sunday Pulse section and blog occasionally for Lawrence.com — especially if it relates to horror, my favorite movie genre!
I grew up in Lenexa and graduated with a bachelor's degree in secondary education-English/journalism from Kansas State University. I taught high school journalism in Independence, Mo., before joining the Journal-World staff.
You can find me on Twitter, and I welcome your feedback and story suggestions, too.

MONTERREY, MEXICO and LUDWIGSHAFEN, GERMANY -- (Marketwired) -- 07/10/14 -- Alpek, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Alpek") and BASF announced today that they have signed agreements concerning the EPS (expandable polystyrene) and PU (polyurethane) business activities of their Polioles joint venture in Mexico, and BASF's EPS business in North and South America, excluding BASF's Neopor® (grey EPS) business.
Alpek will acquire all of Polioles' EPS business activities, including its EPS production site in Altamira, Mexico. In parallel, BASF will acquire Polioles' PU business activities, including selected assets in its Lerma facility as well as all marketing and selling rights for PU systems, isocyanates and polyols. Upon completion of the transaction, Polioles will continue operations as an Alpek-BASF joint venture with a product portfolio comprised of industrial and specialty chemicals.
Under the agreements, Alpek will also acquire BASF's EPS business activities in North and South America, including:
- BASF's EPS sales and distribution channels in North and South America,
- BASF's EPS production facilities in Guaratinguetá, Brazil, and General Lagos, Argentina, and
- BASF's EPS foam parts business in Chile (Aislapol, S.A.).
The combined capacity of all EPS production facilities that Alpek will acquire is approximately 230,000 metric tons per year. This figure includes Polioles' 165,000 metric tons per year production plant in Altamira, Mexico. Approximately 440 employees work in the businesses that are subject to the agreements -- 380 employees in the EPS businesses and 60 employees in the PU business. The majority of these employees will keep their position under the new ownerships.
BASF will continue to sell Neopor to its customers in the United States, Canada and South America. In Mexico, Alpek will sell Neopor for BASF based on a distribution agreement.
All agreements are subject to approval by the appropriate authorities. Closing of the transaction is expected by early 2015. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
José de Jesús Valdez, Alpek's CEO, stated: "This transaction represents an attractive opportunity for Alpek to build upon its EPS operations in Mexico, expand its EPS footprint across the Americas, and consolidate its 'Plastics & Chemicals' product portfolio. It also reaffirms Alpek's commitment to the EPS value chain, where we will continue providing the highest standard of quality and service to all our customers."
"The acquisition of the PU business significantly strengthens BASF Performance Materials' industry-oriented customer solutions approach across North America and globally. BASF will focus its EPS business on strategic markets in Europe and Asia as well as on Neopor, which is produced in Germany and Korea," said Raimar Jahn, President Performance Materials, BASF.
