Webjet acquisition improves Gol's position in world's fourth largest domestic market
Consolidation in the fast-growing Brazilian market has taken another major step with Gol agreeing to acquire smaller low-cost carrier Webjet for BRL96 million (USD61 million). The deal follows several moves over the last two years by Gol's archrival TAM as Brazil's two largest airline groups battle for the distinction of domestic market leader.
Gol announced on 08-Jul-2011 that its Varig subsidiary has signed an MOU with Webjet's shareholders to acquire 100% of Webjet. In addition to giving Webjet shareholders BRL96 million in cash, Gol has agreed to assume from Webjet BRL215 million in debt.
Acquisition expected to close in 2012
Gol says completion of the deal is subject to several conditions, including due diligence and approval from Brazil's civil aviation authority ANAC and anit-trust regulator CADE. Gol CEO Constantino de Oliveira Junior told analysts he is confident Gol and Webjet will be able to close the deal sometime in 2012 – most likely around the middle of the year.
Mr Oliveira is confident regulators will agree with Gol that the acquisition will result in "a better package for the consumers" but said it is impossible to predict exactly how long it will take to secure approval from CADE. "One year is probably something reasonable," Mr Oliveira said.
Rio de Janeiro-based Webjet is currently the fourth largest domestic carrier in the Brazilian market with a 5.4% share, based on RPK data from Brazil's ANAC for the first five months 2011. The Sao Paulo-based Gol group (includes Varig, which Gol acquired in 2007) currently has a 37.5% share of Brazil's domestic market.

TAM now has a leading 42.9% share of the market (again based on RPKs for the first five months of 2011). This includes TAM mainline as well as its regional subsidiary Pantanal, which TAM acquired at the end of 2009. Pantanal was a small turboprop operator within Sao Paulo state but TAM has since expanded the Pantanal operation to include A320s and domestic trunk routes.
TAM remains Brazil's largest domestic player when taking into account TRIP
TAM also signed in Mar-2011 a letter of intent to purchase a 31% stake in TRIP, Brazil's largest regional carrier with a 2.7% share of the market. TRIP, which is the fifth largest player in the Brazilian domestic market and has been growing at a rapid clip, already codeshares with TAM.
While Gol's acquisition of Webjet will give both Gol and TAM roughly equal 43% shares in the Brazilian domestic market, TAM will still be larger when factoring in its partnership with TRIP. Gol also has a partnership with a Brazilian regional carrier, NOAR, which was forged in Sept-2010. But this partnership does not include an equity stake and NOAR is tiny, flying only 174,000 RPKs in May-2011 (in comparison Gol flew 2.2 billion domestic RPKs in May-2011).
It is unlikely Gol will acquire a regional carrier as such a move would not significantly increase Gol's market share and would go against typical low-cost carrier strategy. Passaredo is the now the second largest independent regional carrier in Brazil after TRIP. Passaredo now only has a 0.8% share of the market although it has been growing rapidly, with ASKs up by 80% for the first five months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.
While Gol and TAM battle it out for the distinction of Brazil's largest domestic carrier, TAM will remain much larger overall given its domination of the international market. TAM currently controls 87% of the international market compared to only 12% for the Gol group (again based on RPK data from ANAC for the first five months of 2011).
Gol has been focusing mainly on the domestic market since dropping Varig-operated long-haul scheduled services in 2008. Gol also recently dropped Bogota, leaving it with scheduled international services to only five destinations in South America (it also has four low-frequency destinations in the Caribbean which are primarily served via Caracas). Gol recently stopped operating its remaining B767s, which were initially used for Varig scheduled flights to Europe and in late 2009 were reactivated for international charters.
Gol plans to replace Webjet's B737-300s with B737-700/800s by 2014
The Gol group now has an all B737NG fleet consisting of 115 aircraft (including 94 B737-700/800s at Gol and 21 B737-700/800s at the Varig unit) with outstanding orders for 99 additional B737NGs, according to Ascend data. Gol's current fleet plan is relatively conservative and envisions ending this year with 115 B737NGs (75 737-800s and 40 737-700s), followed by 119 at the end of 2012, 121 at the end of 2013 and 123 at the end of 2014. Most of its new deliveries are slated to be used to replace older B737-700/800s but Gol has the flexibility to accelerate growth by returning fewer aircraft.
Webjet currently operates a fleet of 24 B737-300s. Gol also operated a fleet of B737-300s until last year. Gol has retained heavy maintenance capability for the B737-300 which could come in handy as the Webjet aircraft come into the group. But Gol CFO Leonardo Pereira told analysts it plans to replace Webjet's B737-300s with B737-700/800s by the end of 2014.
Webjet leases 18 of its 24 aircraft, according to Ascend data. Mr Pereira told analysts some of Webjet's leases expire in 2012, most expire in 2013 and a few expire in 2014. In recent years Gol has had a tough time negotiating early returns for its B737-300s and B767s. But Gol is confident it will not have problems returning Webjet's fleet as most of the lease terms are short and Webjet's lessors also supply aircraft to Gol.
Webjet's current fleet
Webjet currently operates 154 daily flights to 13 domestic destinations (in comparison, Gol now has 900 daily flights to 49 domestic destinations) . Webjet's operation at Sao Paulo Congonhas, where it was able to secure a small number of weekend slots in early 2010, is extremely limited. But it has an attractive base at another key slot-controlled domestic airport – Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont.
TAM, which currently accounts for 48% of mainline capacity at Santos Dumont (excludes TRIP's regional operation), will remain the largest carrier at Santos Dumont after the acquisition. But adding Webjet's 14% share to Gol's 18% share puts Gol in a much better position at Rio de Janeiro's popular downtown airport.

Sao Paulo Congonhas capacity for leading carriers (seats per week) , 11-Jul-2011 to 17-Jul-2011
According to Innovata data, Webjet's three largest routes (based on capacity) are from Santos Dumont – connecting Sao Paulo Guarulhos, Brasilia and Belo Horizonte. These routes fit in well with Gol's network as Santos Dumont-Sao Paulo Congonhas is the only Santos Dumont route among Gol's largest 10 routes. In fact, of Webjet's top 10 routes only two are also on the Gol top 10 list – Salvador-Rio de Janeiro Galeao and Salvador-Sao Paulo Guarulhos. According to Innovata data, the Gol/Webjet combination will account for 43% of current capacity on Salvador-Sao Paulo Guarulhos and 58% of current capacity on Salvador-Rio de Janeiro Galeao (TAM now accounts for 48% and 42% of capacity on the two routes respectively)

Gol's top 10 domestic routes by capacity (seats per week), 11-Jul-2011 to 17-Jul-2011
At Salvador, the addition of Webjet will make Gol the largest carrier. The acquisition will also significantly cement Gol's position as the largest carrier at two other main Brazilian airports – Curitiba and Porto Alegre. According to Webjet's website, Webjet currently operates 11 routes from Porto Alegre, 10 from Curitiba and nine from Salvador.

Porto Alegre Airport capacity for leading carriers (seats per week), 11-Jul-2011 to 17-Jul-2011
Webjet is also now the third largest carrier at Sao Paulo Guarulhos and Rio de Janeiro Galeo but after the acquisition TAM will remain by far the largest carrier at Brazil's two primary international gateways. According to Webjet's website, the carrier now operates eight routes from Rio de Janeiro Galeao and seven from Sao Paulo Guarulhos. Webjet does not operate any international routes.
Rio de Janeiro Galeo Airport capacity by carrier (seats per week), 11-Jul-2011 to 17-Jul-2011
Sao Paulo Guarulhos Airport capacity by carrier (seats per week), 11-Jul-2011 to 17-Jul-2011
Mr Oliveira told analyst the acquisition is particularly appealing because it will allow Gol to strengthen its domestic position at Guarulhos, which has more domestic frequencies than any other airport in Brazil. Webjet now operates 20 daily domestic frequencies at Guarulhos while Gol operates 77 frequencies. Combined their 97 will be just shy of the 104 daily domestic flights offered by TAM at Guarulhos.
Webjet will also allow Gol to expand its operation at the capital Brasilia from 92 to 105 flights; at Rio de Janeiro Galeao from 71 to 79 daily flights; at Belo Horizonte from 52 to 69 daily flights; at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont from 49 to 65 daily flights; and at Porto Alegre from 36 to 48 daily flights.
Number of daily flights currently for Gol, TAM and Webjet at major Brazilian airports
In terms of total passengers carried, Gol expects to surpass TAM as the largest domestic carrier. Gol last year transported 28.5 million passengers while TAM transported 32.8 million and Webjet transported 4.3 million.
Passenger traffic for Brazilian carriers, 2010
In terms of revenues, TAM will also remain a much larger carrier. TAM is already more than 70% bigger than Gol in terms of revenues and is poised to become even larger once it completes its proposed merger with LAN. TAM and LAN combined had revenues of about USD3.3 billion in 1Q2011 while Gol's revenues for the quarter came in at about USD1.1 billion. Webjet only generates revenues of roughly USD120 million per quarter.
Gol says in 2010 Webjet generated BRL763.5 million in revenues in 2010 and turned a net profit of BRL21.9 million. Gol last year turned a net profit of BRL214.2 million on BRL6.9744 billion in revenues.
Gol is now Latin America's third largest airline group after TAM and LAN. Its purchase of Webjet should help it cement this position and ensure that it remains larger than Avianca-TACA, which generated about USD900 million in revenues in 1Q2011. Avianca Brazil, previously known as Oceanair, is currently not yet part of Avianca-TACA. It is expected Avianca Brazil will formally join the group later this year but the impact will be minimal as Avianca Brazil is currently Brazil's sixth largest domestic carrier with only a 2.6% share of the market.
Gol does not have any airline subsidiaries outside Brazil but Brazil is such a big market it alone is enough to support a large airline group. The Brazilian domestic market is now the fourth largest domestic market in the world after the US, China and Japan. More importantly, it is also one of the world's fastest growing markets.
Brazilian domestic market has grown by 22% so far this year
Through the first five months of 2011, domestic RPKs were up 22% in Brazil. Gol's growth of 11% lagged most of its competitors, including the 24% growth posted by TAM, making Gol's move to acquire Webjet particularly important.
Webjet also has been growing slowly by Brazilian standards this year, with RPKs up only 6% through the first five months of 2011. But Webjet's conservative capacity expansion paid off with a relatively high load factor of 76.2%, beating the industry average load factor of 71.6%.
Azul has had the highest growth so far this year, recording an 83% increase in RPKs through the first five months of 2011, followed by 62% for TRIP and 33% for Avianca Brazil. Of all the remaining independent carriers, the Gol-Webjet deal could benefit Azul the most as it will be left as the only Brazilian low-cost carrier outside of the Gol group.
Azul, which currently serves 38 domestic destinations with 37 aircraft, is already planning rapid expansion with almost 130 aircraft envisioned by the end of 2014. The Webjet-Gol deal could prompt Azul to consider accelerating expansion as opportunities are created from consolidation in certain city pairs.
Before Gol came along, Webjet's current shareholders, led by Guilerme Paulus, were looking at an IPO. Gol now plans to acquire all of Webjet from Webjet's parent company, which is controlled by the Paulus family. The same parent company also owns Brazilian travel company CVC but Gol is not buying any stake in CVC. Mr Oliveira, however, expects Gol's existing relationship with CVC could be strengthened as a result of the Webjet acquisition.
Webjet filed in Feb-2011 for a potential IPO on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange and was also reportedly in discussions over selling a stake to Ryanair. However the fact Webjet has been overtaken in the domestic market by newer Azul and Webjet's prior lack of profitability could have made the IPO difficult to complete.
Gol, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, says Webjet's "enterprise value" is BRL310.7 million. Gol says the acquisition price of BRL96 million cash plus the assumption of BRL215 million in debt is still "subject to certain adjustments prior to the closing date".
BRL100 million in synergies expected
Gol expects the deal will generate BRL100 million in annual synergies – including BRL60 million in corporate synergies and BRL40 million in operational synergies. But Mr Pereira says it will take about two years for most of the synergies to be realised. He says some of the operational synergies will also not be realised until the new group fleet consists entirely of B737NGs.
Integration costs are expected to be minimal as Webjet already runs a low-cost operation with several core functions outsourced. Most of Webjet's 1,683 employees are expected to be absorbed by Gol.
Webjet has an even lower cost structure than Gol (unit costs at Webjet in 2010 were 3% lower than unit costs at Gol). Ancillaries also account for a higher portion of total revenues at Webjet, a position Gol could learn from as it aims to increase its own ancillary revenue stream.
Mr Oliveira says Gol's "target is to integrate both companies" and eventually "fly with just one brand – the Gol brand". But he says CADE will need to approve the full integration of the two airlines and could potentially insist on maintaining two separate operations.
Mr Oliveira is confident of CADE approval because the acquisition involves "two companies operating under the same concept". He says Gol expects "to maintain very competitive fares and stimulate the market" after the deal is completed. He believes the deal will also result in more frequencies in certain markets and a more reliable service for the consumer.
ANAC approval should be even easier to secure. Mr Oliveira says ANAC has three measures when reviewing airline acquisitions - operational capability, financial capability and technical capability of the buyer. "I don't think we'll have a problem related to these three points," he said.

The company announced that its proposal for an ultra-high speed network has been sent on to municipalities for closer scrutiny.
From the pack of providers in the running to possibly bring a high-speed, fiber Internet network to North Carolina's Triangle, AT&T Inc. has taken a step forward.
The company announced Thursday that its proposal for an ultra-high speed network capable has been sent on by a group of Triangle universities and towns that asked for proposals -- called the North Carolina Next Generation Network or NCNGN -- to the municipalities in the group for closer scrutiny.
"So far, AT&T is the first provider that we have reached an agreement with that is sufficiently complete and attractive to our communities that we would take forward or ask the municipalities to consider," said Tracy Futhey, the chair of the steering committee for NCNGN and the vice president for information technology at Duke University.
Futhey said the group has been negotiating with AT&T for months. Now, she said they've come to a services agreement with the company.
They have sent the AT&T proposal on to each of cities and towns – Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem – but are still in negotiations with other potential providers.
"We're still in the process sand still negotiating actively with others," Futhey said.
From here, the governing bodies for each city or town will need to sign off on the agreement.
In general, Futhey said providers like AT&T are looking for the municipalities to make it as "cost-effective as possible" for them to bring fiber to those cities. That would mean streamlining the process around permitting and inspections.
Futhey said AT&T was "very motivated" to get an agreement.
"They understood what we were trying to do, they understood why it was important to have these kinds of resources, they recognized that this region – the Research Triangle and also the Piedmont region with Winston-Salem in this mix – is an ideal test bed and location for this," she said.
In a news release, AT&T said the proposal is for the company to deliver AT&T U-verse with GigaPower to parts of the Triangle and Piedmont Triad.
It also would include potential fiber build-outs in the areas of Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and Winston-Salem where there is demand and supportive local policies.
It also includes options for public wireless Internet hotspots, free AT&T U-verse with GigaPower at up to 100 public sites and an all-fiber network connected to up to 100 business buildings.
And it also outlines a free three-megabit-per-second AT&T U-verse high speed Internet offer to 10 affordable housing complexes.
It would bring AT&T U-verse to the residents and businesses of Durham for the first time.
NCNGN is a group of six municipalities and four universities that want to see a private company build out ultra-high speed Internet network.
Of the companies that submitted proposals, Time Warner Cable announced that it had submitted a formal bid.
And in February, Google Inc. announced that seven cities in the Triangle, including Durham and Chapel Hill, are in the running for a possible new fiber-optic network by the company.

PAPEETE, Tahiti (Tahitipresse, Nov. 4) – Protesters carrying signs reading "Legitimate And Peaceful Occupation Of Public Offices" blocked entry Wednesday morning to various French State and local government offices in Papeete.
The offices include the government printing office, the Rural Development Department and the Public Works Ministry and the Finance Ministry.
At the printing office, a group of employees who said they were apolitical appeared to be the origin of the blocked entry. One of them told Tahitipresse, "Today we have two governments and we don't know whom to obey any more. We decided to express our dissatisfaction in this way. It's not a blocking; we aren't preventing people from working."
Claudino Laurent, head of the government printing office, said, "I arrived this morning and I noted the facts. They asked me not to turn on the rotary printing presses. So I contacted the editor of the publication and I went to his office to discuss the approach to take. During that time President (Gaston) Flosse arrived at the printing plant and told the employees to go home."
So the government's official legal information bulletin, known as "Le Journal Officiel", will not be published on Thursday as scheduled. No new publication date was immediately announced.
At the Rural Development Department, employees found gates closed with padlocks Wednesday morning. Pierre Souvignet, one of the department heads, said, "I took orders from our current (agriculture) minister, Frédéric Riveta, who ordered me to rapidly have a court-appointed bailiff make a report in order to note that the gates are closed and the personnel who want to work is prevented from doing so."
The organizers of the blocked office entrances simply said they were waiting for Nov. 8 when the Council of State in Paris, France's highest administrative court, is due to hear arguments on a motion filed by Flosse. He is asking the court to invalidate only the Windward Islands (Tahiti and Moorea) results from the May 23 parliamentary elections.
Some 20 persons representing Oscar Temaru's political coalition gathered in front of the Finance and Public Works Ministry building with banners and signs as they staged a sit-in without blocking access to the building.
Another group of demonstrators seeking the dissolution of Tahiti's parliament blocked access to the French State's passport and identity card issuance office and the French State's office that controls French and local government spendings in French Polynesia.

It almost seemed like the hurt of losing the Stanley Cup was too deep for Vancouverites, and that the city couldn't tolerate even the slightest reminder of anything to do with the Stanley Cup. Just a week before the Cup arrived in Vancouver, it was proposed that Stanley Park, the 1,001-acre urban oasis that graces Vancouver, be re-named Xwayxway, a Squamish term meaning 'place of masks.' Stanley Park was named after Lord Stanley, the governor general of the Dominion of Canada from 1888-1893, in his first year of service to this nation. Lord Stanley, of course, donated hockey's championship trophy toward the end of his time as governor general. Coincidence?
The trio took the Stanley Cup to Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, a rehabilitation centre for children faced with health challenges. The children, many of whom didn't hide the fact they were Canucks fans, were thrilled to meet the players and had their little hands all over the Stanley Cup. The boys played ball hockey with them, and during the two-hour visit, they met Stuart, who had been in an accident last February and had been in a coma. Stuart really tugged at their heartstrings, but the little hockey fan really got to them when he looked up at Troy, Andrew and Brent and told them, "Watch out! One day, I'm gonna meet you on the ice!"
Afterwards, the Stanley Cup was taken to the home of John and Pat Fraser, Colin's parents, and through the evening, the Brouwer, Ladd and Seabrook families joined the Fraser party.
Wednesday, July 14 was reserved for Colin Fraser. Originally from Sicamous, B.C., the Frasers moved to Surrey when Colin was three. Drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the third round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, he was traded to the Hawks in February 2004, and turned pro with Chicago's AHL franchise. Colin made his NHL debut with a single game in 2006-07, played 5 games in 2007-08 and became a regular with the 2008-09 season. The centre played 3 games during the successful post-season run. On June 24, the Edmonton Oilers acquired Colin Fraser. "I did win it with the Blackhawks. Now, I can hopefully help Edmonton win a Cup."
The day began with a game of road hockey outside of his childhood home, not unlike the ways he started hundreds of days as a kid. Colin's childhood friends joined him, and his team lost, something that didn't happen often through the years.
For the next couple of hours, family, friends and fans took turns meeting Colin and getting pictures with the Stanley Cup.
Brouwer's day with the Stanley Cup was Thursday, July 15, and while it was Troy's day, there was no doubt that it was also a day for Troy's Dad, Don.
A frequent question of champions at the time of a Stanley Cup celebration is, 'Who were you playing for?' In Troy's case, it was his father.
On April 4, 2010, Troy scored the game-winning goal in a 4-1 matinee victory over the Calgary Flames. That same day, Don Brouwer was rushed to Surrey Memorial Hospital with a brain aneurysm, and he underwent emergency surgery.
There were but four games remaining in the regular season schedule, and Troy missed them as he cared for his Dad, who was unable to talk or walk at the time.
When the Stanley Cup arrived at the Brouwer's North Delta home, Troy handed it first to his father, who became very emotional.
After some family photos, it was time for the North Delta parade. Troy arrived at 84th Avenue at 1:00PM and climbed aboard a Zamboni, which carried the Chicago winger and the Stanley Cup down 112th Street to the parade's conclusion at the Sungod Arena.
The parade pulled up in front of the arena, and Troy descended the ice resurfacing machine with the beloved Cup. He went inside the arena to visit with some youngsters who play minor hockey in the town.
The Stanley Cup stays in the Vancouver area when we return with the Stanley Cup Journal on Tuesday. It'll be Brent Seabrook's turn, and we'll find out how he celebrated Chicago's victory then.

Monday marked the last teaching semester of my University life, with a lovely 6 module timetable that is filled to the brim, along with a dissertation to complete. I could not be happier that this is my final semester. I enjoy learning but hate the constant examinations and after 4 years at University, I am excited to move on.
I got given my Longchamp as an 18th birthday present from family friends who lived in Paris. They saw the massive growth of the Le Pliage bag it gain 'it bag' status. This bag is a blogger favourite and is perfect for a day of lectures.
{The contents of my bag}
1. Keys.
2. Umbrella; it rains a lot in the UK!
3. Macbook; I would not be able to do my degree without it! The Toy Story obsession continues with my Woody sticker.
4. Pencil Case; you can never have enough highlighters and pens.
5. Filofax {similar} and Cross Pen; I find writing dates down a lot easier than putting them on an online calendar. Call me old fashioned, but it is an easier way to see upcoming deadlines and appointments.
6. iPhone; reaching the end of it's life an upgrade is needed soon.
7. Tissues and cold tablets; I always have a cold. I am always that annoying person who is sneezing in lectures.
8. Lip Balm; one of my favourite beauty products, really helps my chapped lips. I may have been known to pinch a tube from my Mum!
9. Glasses; my beloved hot pink glasses.
10. Notebook; need to write notes for lectures sometimes.
11. Wallet {similar}; sadly tends to be fairly empty. I loved that neon yellow colour of this Kate Spade wallet, and bought it in one of their flash sales.
12. Water bottle; one of my 101 goals was to drink more water. So carrying a filled water bottle encourages me to drink, the Uni doesn't have a lot of water fountains

How to navigate summer taxes for working students
Even though summer vacation has just begun, the Internal Revenue Service is reminding young workers that it's never too early to think about the taxes they will owe from their summer jobs.
If students or others are working only for the summer, they may not earn enough money to owe income tax, but they will probably have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, according to IRS spokesman Bill Brunson.
To begin with, new employees must fill out a Form W-4, which allows employers to calculate how much to withhold from their paychecks. There is an IRS Withholding Calculator tool at IRS.gov to help employees figure out how much should be withheld.
o Employees who earn tips as part of their income should keep in mind that the extra money is taxable. It is recommended that they keep a daily log of tips. If one month's cash tips are $20 or more, employees must report that to their employer.
o Students who baby-sit or mow lawns to earn money during the summer are considered self-employed, meaning income from these odd-jobs is subject to income tax.
o For those in ROTC, active duty pay is taxable. Food and lodging allowances from advanced training are not taxable.
o Special rules apply to those with newspaper routes. Despite the employee's age, he or she is treated as being self-employed for federal tax purposes. This also applies if the employee is paid based on sales, not the number of hours worked, or if there is a written contract stating that the employee will not treat the student as an employee for federal tax purposes

On June 10, 2005, a tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) formulated for use in adults and adolescents was licensed in the United States for persons aged 11--64 years (ADACEL®, manufactured by sanofi pasteur, Toronto, Ontario, Canada). Prelicensure studies demonstrated safety and efficacy, inferred through immunogenicity, against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis when Tdap was administered as a single booster dose to adults. To reduce pertussis morbidity among adults and maintain the standard of care for tetanus and diphtheria prevention and to reduce the transmission of pertussis to infants and in health-care settings, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that: 1) adults aged 19--64 years should receive a single dose of Tdap to replace tetanus and diphtheria toxoids vaccine (Td) for booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis if they received their last dose of Td >10 years earlier and they have not previously received Tdap; 2) intervals shorter than 10 years since the last Td may be used for booster protection against pertussis; 3) adults who have or who anticipate having close contact with an infant aged <12 months (e.g., parents, grandparents aged <65 years, child-care providers, and health-care personnel) should receive a single dose of Tdap to reduce the risk for transmitting pertussis. An interval as short as 2 years from the last Td is suggested; shorter intervals can be used. When possible, women should receive Tdap before becoming pregnant. Women who have not previously received Tdap should receive a dose of Tdap in the immediate postpartum period; 4) health-care personnel who work in hospitals or ambulatory care settings and have direct patient contact should receive a single dose of Tdap as soon as feasible if they have not previously received Tdap. An interval as short as 2 years from the last dose of Td is recommended; shorter intervals may be used. These recommendations for use of Tdap in health-care personnel are supported by the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC). This statement 1) reviews pertussis, tetanus and diphtheria vaccination policy in the United States; 2) describes the clinical features and epidemiology of pertussis among adults; 3) summarizes the immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety data of Tdap; and 4) presents recommendations for the use of Tdap among adults aged 19--64 years.

Board Members
Marsden is the President of Maine Aquaculture Co-op, 3rd Generation Maine Commercial Fisherman and Stonington aquaculturist. He has been a commercial fisherman all his life. His extensive fishing experience includes shrimping, urchining, scalloping, off shore ground fishing and lobstering. He owns and operates the 38' F/V Lindsay Marie and fishes out of Stonington. Marsden has considerable experience in all matters relating to scallop aquaculture including spat collection and stock enhancement. He has collaborated with scientists in Maine (including Dan Schick, Scott Feindel and Dana Morse) for over 15 years on research, outreach and education regarding scallop aquaculture.
The Maine Aquaculture Co-op, which Marsden is President of, is Maine's first aquaculture cooperative, with a board and membership comprised entirely of Maine fishermen and aquaculturists. They seek to expand Maine's seafood-producing industries through the thoughtful integration of fishing and farming, to diversify income opportunities for Maine fishermen, maintain our robust working waterfront, and strengthen our coastal communities. They feel that by working cooperatively, we are all better able to solve technical difficulties, share best practices and resources, and leverage buying and marketing power.
For the past three years Marsden's received an LPA permit from DMR for growing scallops and recently participated in a cohort that traveled to Japan to learn about the ear-hung method of scallop aquaculture. Marsden is a former member of the DMR Advisory Council, has been a selectman for the town of Stonington for 6 years and with his wife Donna, runs Red Barn Farm retail shop featuring lobsters and his farms' goat milk cheese and soap. In 2001, Marsden was an original member of the Stonington Fisheries Alliance, an organization that Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries originated off from.
Ted Hoskins is a founding board member and immediately before retirement served as Minister for Fisheries and Coastal Communities for the Maine Sea Coast Mission. He retired in 2003 from being the Mission's "boat minister" aboard the Sunbeam, serving the outer islands of Maine. Prior to that he was a pastor in Westport, CT for 40 years and was the summer minister for Isle au Haut for many, many years until 2015. Hoskins is founding board member of Stonington Fisheries Alliance, Saltwater Network and active in numerous community efforts having served on the Maine Lobster Advisory Council and Board of Directors of Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance. He is the founder of Belize Federation of Fishers (BFF), an organization of commercial fishermen from all of Belize who are committed to marine resource conservation and sustainable harvesting. For almost two decades he has taken work groups to Monkey River, Belize – rebuilding after severe hurricane devastation to the community and responding to their self-identified needs of putting in place a computer lab for both students and the community, electricity to Monkey River, and establishing a scholarship program so students can go to high school and even college.
Dr. Elizabeth (Libby) Jewett has been coming to Stonington her entire life. Her grandfather first bought a house above the sardine factory, currently the Isle au Haut ferry dock, back in the 1950s. She and her husband now own a house in the village which they try to visit as often as possible. She has a PhD in the Marine Ecology from the University of Maryland and has been the Director of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (located in the Research division of NOAA), based in Silver Spring, MD, since its founding in 2011. Her love of the ocean directly stems from her time in Stonington and she is hoping to give back to the community, especially the fishing community, by joining the MCCF board.
Dr. Nancy Knowlton is a retired tropical marine biologist. She has been coming to the Blue Hill peninsula since 2011 and became a full time resident the summer of 2018. Knowlton is a big believer in the importance of local collaborations to achieve sustainability, and so the vision of MCCF is a good fit for her. She brings considerable expertise as an ocean scientist to the table, including a strong interest in science communication. She also serves on the Global Board of the Nature Conservancy and is active in science and conservation.
Former Rep. Walter Kumiega recently completed his fourth term in the Legislature and served as House chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Marine Resources. Kumiega had served as Maine's Legislative Commissioner to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. The fishing industry is a major part of the economy in the district Kumiega represented. Kumiega previously served on the Deer Isle-Stonington School Committee for nine years and is in his 19th year on the board of Child and Family Opportunities, the Head Start grantee for Hancock and Washington counties. A self-employed carpenter, Kumiega lives on Little Deer Isle with his wife, Penny. They have 2 adult children.
James (Jim) Markos grew up in Ellsworth, Maine and attended Ellsworth public schools. He attended Colby College where he received his Bachelor's Degree in political Science. He continued his education and got a law degree from American University in Washington, DC. Jim was once the Assistant District Attorney for Hancock County. Later, he went in to private practice and opened a law firm, "Markos and Roy" in his hometown. In 1982, James joined Maine Shellfish Co. as the general manager. That's a position he's held for 30+ years and still holds to this day. Jim currently resides in nearby Blue Hill.
Brent Oliver started fishing in 1978, working in the stern for one year. He then bought an old boat and rigged it for scalloping. Since then, he's gone gillnetting, fish dragging, and scallop dragging with a net, growing his business throughout the 1980s. In 1989 he ordered a 48′ boat for gillnetting further offshore and longlining. In 1991 he could see the writing on the wall for groundfishing and started lobstering in the winter. In 1994 he stopped gillnetting, affected by many changes, including the new groundfish rolling closures. In 1995 he began full-time lobstering and has been lobstering ever since, from shore to well offshore. He has seen a huge change in both the lobstering and the gillnetting industries. Brent is a lifelong resident of Deer Isle and currently fishes aboard the F/V Jarsulan 4 out of Stonington. He resides in Deer Isle with his wife Susan.
Robert Steneck is a professor at the University of Maine, School of Marine Sciences. He and his students study ecological processes with a focus on food webs and marine community stability. He applies basic ecology to applied human marine resource and management questions. Bob has worked throughout his career with Maine lobstermen and some of his recent work explores the social and ecological consequences of the Gulf of Maine's current alternative stable-state, i.e., a marine community dominated by lobster instead of cod. Bob's work and experience is integral to MCCF's mission of securing a fishing future for Eastern Maine. Bob has a M.S. in Botany and Plant Pathology (Marine Ecology) from the University of Maine and a Ph.D. in Earth and Planetary Sciences (Ecology and Evolution) from Johns Hopkins University.
Susan Toder is a management consultant, leading organizational development and strategic planning in family businesses and start-ups.

Advisory Council of Avodah, a social justice organization. On Deer Isle, she is a Board Member of Ready By 21 Mentoring and the Edible Island Culinary and Ecological Center. She lives half the year in Stonington and is committed to enhancing the vitality of coastal communities.
Jim Wilson is an economist in the School of Marine Sciences at the University of Maine. His research interests are principally concerned with the interaction of complex socio-ecological systems, especially the effect of scale on the conduct of science and governance. He is the coordinator of the 'dual degree' program in marine science, a three year master's program in which students write a single integrated thesis and get two M.Sc. degrees, one in marine biology or oceanography and one in policy. He chaired the committee that established the system of zones and local governance in the Maine lobster fishery, did the research that led to the Portland Fish Exchange, was a co-founder of the Maine Fishermen's Forum, is a member of the Fish Locally Collaborative and was Co-chair of the Downeast Initiative, a group advocating for multiscale governance of the groundfishery. He has published in Science, PNAS, Marine Policy, Ecology and Society and other journals and is currently PI or co-PI on three NSF coupled systems projects. He has a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin.

Its been more than 36 hours that superstar Sridevi passed away but the mortal remains of the superstar are yet to be brought back to India for a funeral and understandably, there is a sense of inquisitiveness amongst fans, media outlets and general public to know the actual cause of her demise. While the initial reports suggested that Sridevi passed away due to a cardiac arrest, the forensic report, which came out after 24 hours, revealed that the actor passed away due to accidental drowning in the bathtub of the hotel room she was staying at. This report led to a lot of speculations around the news and soon the chaos started. Few hours after the forensic report was revealed, the Dubai Police Department transferred the case to the Dubai Public Prosecution according to standard procedure as is done in any case of a death outside a hospital in Dubai. A leading daily in UAE, Khaleej Times, has been posting the latest updates on their Facebook page about the progress of the case which so far is at a juncture where the mortal remains of Sridevi are yet to be handed over to the family members of the actor. Officials at the Indian Embassy are working closely with the Dubai authorities to complete the procedures appropriately.
While all this is happening, few television channels have started analysing the cause of death based on the forensics reports statement – ACCIDENTAL DROWNING. From recreating the visuals by photoshopping an image of Sridevi inside a bathtub and Boney Kapoor standing beside it to themselves sitting inside a bathtub and analysing the way she could have drowned in the bathtub, they have done it all. Preconceived notions, general perceptions, investigative narratives and indifferent approach by few television channels have clouded the case now which is now being termed as a 'murder of journalism' by many journalists and celebrities, and rightly so. Instead of waiting for the right authorities to complete the formalities, channels have built their own version of the story accompanied by group discussions with experts on a 'panel' from various industries.
While many celebrities have slammed the news channels for this kind of an approach, the LIVE discussions and analysis continue on many television channels. Prevalence of common sense seems to have hit rock bottom with such an approach where we haven't allowed the family to grieve in this sad hour, but instead have chosen to do senseless reports on the cause of death of an iconic actress who has ruled the Indian cinema for more than three decades and has never failed to entertain/enliven us with her authentic and heart touching performances in cinema.
RIP Sridevi!

A contingency analysis determines whether there is a relationship between two categorical variables. A caterer, for example, might be interested in knowing whether entrée selections at an event were related to gender, given the following data:
The contingency platform in JMP requires the X and Y variables to be contained in two columns, with the cell counts in a third:
With the "Contingency (Table Format)" add-in, developed especially for students and others who are new to JMP, you can launch a contingency analysis with data that is arranged in "crosstab" format, without having to stack the data first:
Simply specify the variables as shown here:
The add-in creates the contingency report and includes buttons that let you easily swap the rows and columns of the report if desired:
If the "Show New Table" option is selected, the add-in also generates a stacked table containing a script that will launch the platform in the standard manner:
This add-in, along with many others, is available on the JMP File Exchange. (A free SAS profile is needed for access.)
