- —Mega Man Powered Up description
Super Arm (スーパーアーム Sūpā Āmu?) is Guts Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series.
Video game appearances
Mega Man
The Super Arm does not fire on its own. Instead, Mega Man must walk up to certain blocks, and if they can be picked up by the Super Arm, they will flash. Pressing the attack button causes Mega Man to pick them up (Mega Man cannot climb ladders while performing this move), and pressing it again causes him to throw them. If there is not enough room available to create an arc, or if/when they land on the ground, the blocks will scatter.
This is the weakness of Cut Man and CWU-01P. Alongside Elec Man, those three are the only bosses that can be hit by the Super Arm, as the rooms they appear are the only ones with blocks. Either the Super Arm or Thunder Beam is required to obtain the Magnet Beam.
In the mobile version of the game the Super Arm allows him to launch a chunk of block from his buster instead of having to pick and toss a huge block.
Mega Man Powered Up
- "Create a block right before your eyes and throw it!"
- —Mega Man Powered Up description when playing as Guts Man
Mega Man uses the Super Arm in the same way from the original Mega Man game.
When playing as Guts Man, he can pick up "Guts Blocks" from the sides and throw them at enemies, much like Mega Man, but he can also pick the blocks from above, and is able to summon a block in front of him while standing on the ground. Up to five blocks can be summoned in the screen. He can't summon them while in the air or on moving terrains, like Conveyor Belts and Drop Lifts. Also, blocks can't be summoned if an enemy or projectile is in front or below the place it appears. While enemies can't be crushed by the blocks, Guts Man himself can be crushed if one is not careful. Besides attacking, the "Guts Blocks" can be used as platforms, being useful to avoid hazards such as the spikes and Appearing Blocks, and trap enemies and bosses.
While the Wily Machine Number 1 is able to copy all weapons from the eight bosses, it can't use the Super Arm. However, sometimes Dr. Wily will throw a hammer when his machine is set with the Super Arm.
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
In the Wily Tower mode, the Super Arm can only be used in a single block present in the lower path from the first Wily Tower stage, blocking the path to a 1-UP and a large Life Energy. However, as the block can also be destroyed by Thunder Beam and the only enemies in its area are Foot Holders and a single Screw Bomber, the Super Arm's usefulness is greatly reduced in this mode.
Mega Man: The Power Battle
In this fighting game, the player obtains the Super Arm by defeating Guts Man in the "Mega Man 1~2" course. The user launches a boulder from his buster. It is the weakness of Ice Man and Yellow Devil.
Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters
Like Mega Man: The Power Battle, the Super Arm is obtained from Guts Man in the "Recover the new parts!" course, and it releases boulders. This is the weakness of Air Man and Wily Machine.
Street Fighter x Tekken
Mega Man uses the Super Arm as his forward throw, lifting his opponent above his head and throwing them.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
The Super Arm appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U as Mega Man's grab move. He uses his strength to pick up opponents and throw them in any direction inputed, dealing 6% when thrown forward, 11% when thrown backwards, 7% when thrown upwards and 5% when thrown down, with the opponent bouncing after hitting the floor when thrown down. While in Mega Man's grip, the grab or the attack button can be pressed to use the Super Squeeze, dealing 3% additional before throwing the opponent.

Other media
Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)
Proto Man uses the Super Arm against Mega Man in the first episode of the Mega Man animated series. After showing annoyance at the Robot Masters' lack of success in defeating Mega Man, Proto Man chose to go after Mega Man himself, copying Guts Man's power in order to help him to do so.
After chasing down Mega Man, he used the Super Arm's power to punch him through a hangar wall, before following him through to continue attacking. Eventually, Mega Man was able to get the upper hand against Proto Man, defeating him by knocking him into an aeroplane turbine, which fired him into a wall with immense force.
Its only visible effect was enlarging the size of Proto Man's right forearm, presumably to visually convey the extra strength granted by it. Interestingly, it was the only Special Weapon Proto Man ever copied from a Robot Master on the show. It is also the only Special Weapon that was never copied by Mega Man, despite Guts Man being present in all episodes.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)
In the beginning of the first issue from the Mega Man comic by Archie Comics, Mega Man uses the Super Arm to open a path and get inside Dr. Wily's hideout. Prior to this event, in the second issue Mega Man obtains the Super Arm and uses it to defeat Cut Man. He also uses the Super Arm in Mega Man #3, #4, and #8.
Mega Man Megamix
When Mega Man is caught by the Yellow Devil, he uses the Super Arm to free himself.
Rockman (manga)
The Super Arm is the first weapon obtained by Mega Man, and he uses it to defeat Cut Man. Later, Mega Man tries to use it against Elec Man, but his Thunder Beam destroys the block. He also uses the Super Arm to open a path in Dr. Wily's hideout.
- Wily Machine is actually programmed to take 1 unit of damage from the Super Arm; however, it is impossible to do this during normal gameplay because there are no blocks in the battlefield. It can only be accomplished using an external cheating device such as Game Genie.
- The Super Arm is the only weapon in the classic series that can't be activated without another item present, in this case blocks are needed.

Ambassadors are, by definition, foreign bodies. Thus does Cynthia Ozick announce her debt to Henry James. Like that dry-stick Lambert Strether (in The Ambassadors), in this novel Bea Nightingale – herself no blooming rose – has been deputed to rescue an errant youth, her nephew, from the flesh-pots of Gay Paree. The deputiser is her estranged brother Marvin Nachtigall. Though the better Jew, it is Bea who has anglicised the family name.
To Marvin's way of thinking, Bea has no life in New York. And he has a point: formerly married to Leo Coopersmith, a composer manque, she is the unwilling custodian of his ersatz Steinway, and remains stuck in the dead-end teaching job she only took to support him. Anyway, she does her brother's bidding.
As it turns out, the boy – Julian, rather than Chad Newsome – is doing OK, and the rescuer is really in need of rescuing. Pollinated by Paris, James's Strether proclaims his new credo: "Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular so long as you have your life." For Bea, as for Strether, this eye-opener has arrived a little late in the day, but not so late as to prevent her answering her jocular question – "To Bea or not to Bea" – with a positive. (Shakespeare is another of the text's bald eminences.)
She dumps the piano and crosses the continent to visit Leo – now a maestro of Hollywood soundtracks. There she thumps not him, but the strings of his precious Bluthner: an inchoate sound that – oh, irony – inspires him to compose his first symphony.
Though written with a light hand, Foreign Bodies is no comedy of manners, being set in 1952, when Hitler's ovens were still in the process of cooling down, and revenants were haunting the Marais. To the unsympathetic locals these living ghosts, these displaced persons, these Jews, remained forever alien, unwelcome foreign bodies.
In her essay, "What Henry James Knew", Ozick asserts that "hidden knowings" proliferate in his later work, and that each tale "penetrates – or decodes – the teller". The same goes for Foreign Bodies. One of its most telling "hidden knowings" concerns an apparently minor character known only as Alfred. But his description – in particular his spectacular yellow wig – identifies him unmistakably as Alfred Chester.
Don't let the name fool you. He was a Jew from Brooklyn. As a matter of fact, he and Ozick were fellow-students in a creative writing class at NYU. By which time he was already burdened with his signature wig. A childhood disease – some say scarlet fever – had mutated into alopecia.
What distinguished Henry James, Ozick concluded in her essay on the writer, was his hard-won ability not to glimpse but to gaze directly into the "abyss of knowing too much". Judging by the existential nightmares that appeared under his name in a magazine called Botteghe Oscure, Alfred Chester did this with binoculars. His challenge is that Gallic variant on Hamlet's big question: Being or Nothingness?
Like the majority of Ozick's cast, the fictional Alfred is a stranger in his own skin, a lost soul in a foreign body. In Paris, the real Alfred Chester fell in love with an Israeli pianist. Back in New York, the two men sought an apartment large enough to accommodate the latter's grand piano (the source surely of Bea's short-lived marriage to Leo Coopersmith). In the end, Alfred Chester killed himself in Jerusalem. He is, I'd guess, the third bald eminence behind Ozick's mysterious and compelling novel, a sort of Henry James in drag.
It is Alfred (minus the surname) who arranges in the book for Julian's starter poems to be printed in the same Botteghe Oscure. In real life, the neophyte was Ozick herself, her first published story appearing in issue 20 (Autumn 1957). Called "Stone", it is a Jamesian bout between Art and Life, the former landing a KO blow right at the death.
So Julian is in part Ozick. His espousal of a second-hand wife – damaged beyond measure by the Nazis – finds an equivalent in her life-long choice of subject matter, her synthesis of James and Jews; Art and Life not in conflict, but working together to produce something exhilarating, and uniquely Ozickian.

Preferences, Norms and Constraints in farmers' agro-ecological choices. Case study using a choice experiments survey in the Rhone River Delta, France
The aim of this paper is to elicit the sensitivity of farmers to payments for agro-environmental services in a context of strong agro-ecological and policy constraints. We present results from a choice experiment survey performed among the whole population of agricultural decision-makers (104) in the Camargue area. Several econometric models have been estimated, the most significant being the Latent Classes one. The estimated parameters of the utility function, together with the parameter associated with the monetary attribute provided the monetary value of each relevant agro-ecological attribute and the associated outcomes (average and risk yield).

DAY 22: Sleeping in + a personal cooking lesson
... correctly and literally kneaded dough for 30 minutes. Can you say "not helping my carpal tunnel!". We also made fresh bruschetta and tomato sauce. Yummo! We brought a bottle of wine, the salmon pate and maple syrup for Perla and Marco plus a small Canadian flag. We also brought stickers, Canadian flag Rubik's Cubes, pencils and maple syrup lollipops for Bernardo and Bernice.

I'm in an internet slideshow on The Quilt Show's blog!
I got a note from a friend who had noticed this... I am in a photo in a slideshow on Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims' Daily Blog. It's on the website for their internet web television program, The Quilt Show. How cool! Looks like they were shooting while I was autographing books in the C&T booth during Quilt Market. I'm in photo number 36 out of 49. You can see lots more shots of Market and Festival in their Smilebox slideshows posted this past week.

Thank you for the great picture show!!!!It is almost like being there, ok, not exactly, but dreaming of being there...loved all the booths, the quilts and comments. Also, must comment on the beautiful clouds over the conv. center...I am a cloud watcher, and appreciate seeing them(probably the only one), Thanks for taking the time for the pics.

Edgar Wright to Direct Johnny Depp in The Night Stalker
Based on the cult TV show.
He's got Dark Shadows coming out this summer, but Johnny Depp already has plans to adapt another supernatural TV drama for the big screen. Deadline reports that Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) has signed on to direct Depp in a feature transfer of The Night Stalker, a seventies TV show starring Darren McGavin as a crime reporter investigating things that go bump in the night. (It was also remade as a TV show in 2005, though it only lasted six episodes.) Do you think Wright and Depp bonded over their similar hairstyles?

Mario Batali and Masaharu Morimoto will be in the upcoming video game Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine for Nintendo Wii and DS. Eater has the full press release from the video game developer Destineer with quotes from the soon-to-be-digitized star chefs:
"I'm delighted to be involved with Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine," said Chef Batali. "My video game counterpart is as passionate and competitive in the virtual Kitchen Stadium as I am in real life, and I think the participation of Chef Morimoto and I adds a great level of authenticity to the game.
Adds Chef Morimoto: "Having been an Iron Chef in both Japan and America, I am pleased to partake in another exciting frontier – video games! Hopefully Iron Chef: Supreme Cuisine can inspire a new generation of great chefs."
Judging from the video game's box design, we can look forward to Cat Cora and Alton Brown in the game as well.

Barbara W. (Plucky Knitter Series)
The third and last in the Plucky Knitter Series, this richly patterned shawl is a celebration of Barbara Walker's pluckiness. It uses several textured stitches worked in worsted or aran weight yarn for a cozy testament to the magic of simple knit and purl stitches.
Two gauges are included in the pattern; using worsted weight yarn makes the Medium size, while aran weight yarn results in the Large size. Because the shawl is worked top-down, additional repeats can be added for custom sizing.
Skill level: Intermediate. Both written and charted instructions are provided.

HTML5 Canvas is a good example of immediate graphics. This "draw and forget" way of working is enough for some purposes. For instance you could write a simple drawing application this way. Unfortunately it isn't entirely trivial to implement interactive applications on top of Canvas without some decent effort. It gets more complicated when you are dealing with a lot of objects and you have to consider performance.
This is where various libraries wrapping the Canvas kick in. I will concentrate on a few popular ones in this post. You can find various others at our canvas wrapper category. In addition you might be interested in checking out various visualization libraries and those focusing on image manipulation.
EaselJS is an example of a library inspired by Flash. You will gain hierarchical display list, interactivity and animation helpers there. The concept of display list is quite powerful. It allows you to define relationships between graphical objects. As you manipulate parent objects, these manipulations are propagated to the children as well.
As you might want sometimes a whole scene graph (or as we call it on web development side, Document Object Model), you could complement EaselJS with AtelierJS. Paper.js actually implements scene graph as a core feature. This allows you to split objects on multiple layers within the same Canvas. Sometimes you might get away with using multiple Canvas elements and CSS z-index but that's not what you want always.
Interestingly paper.js comes with a language of its own, PaperScript. As you probably know dealing with math can be sometimes a bit painful in JavaScript as you cannot overload operators easily. Instead your code ends up looking like v1.mul(v2.add(v3))
which doesn't parse particularly well. PaperScript solves this and provides a couple of custom objects.
Just like EaselJS, Paper.js comes with its own interactivity helpers. Fabric.js provides support for interactivity as well and comes with its own Object model as these libraries usually do. The specialty of Fabric.js seems to be its SVG-to-Canvas parser. Interestingly this applies to the other direction too!
KineticJS seems more or less comparable to libraries mentioned already. It's specialty is that it uses multiple canvas elements internally to achieve better performance. @softrLi seems quite excited about it in his comparison of Canvas libraries. Probably for a good reason.

The libraries discussed here are just a tip of the iceberg. @kangax has compiled a more comprehensive listing with more data. In this post I wanted to focus specifically on a limited selection to give you a some idea of what sort of capabilities these libraries commonly provide.
How do you choose one then? It depends a lot on what your goals are. Perhaps give a couple a go and see if the syntax sticks. If you happen to need something really special like SVG support, Fabric might be the way to go.

I need my niece and nephew in my life
May 3rd, 2010
Hello Doctor,
I am a Team Manager in one of the leading company with good status and salary. I am very good at work and earned good respect and name for myself in the office. I have a daughter of 5 yrs old.
My husband is also working in a global bank in a good designation. His interest lies on spirituality and medidation and I have no inclaination towards that. Once I went to Beijing (China) and met a girl of my age, who is suppose to be the point of contact for me in Beijing office. The moment I met her I have no other feelings except that she is my collegue. Every day after work, she accompanied me till I reach hotel and during this time we shared a lot of things. In fact, she has invite me to her home and i stayed there for 2 days.
I spent with her for about 5 days and the day I left Beijing and the moment I left her and hotel, she started crying. when I asked about the reason, she said "I may not meet you in person any more in my life" this reply touched me and I also started crying. Finally we hug each other and consoled each other and separated. But I could not forget her after that. Hence I started interacting with her every day (i started this the very next day I left Beijing)as I really started missing her.
She has a feeling of that she not very fluent in English. Hence I decided to develop her spoken English by talking to her. She also enjoyed and i also enjoyed very much. We interacted with each other daily for 1 hr through chat for 2 months. However, after her husband came back to Beijing (he was away when I was there due his official responsibilities) she is not interacting with me as before and started to avoid me.
I got really surprised and upset by her activity as couple of times during my chats, i told her that talkig to her every day is not possible after her husband comes back, at that time she cried and said that she already told her husband that she will talk to me every day which he has accepted. I also interacted with him and he seems to be a very good and friendly guy.
However, this very activity of her really put me off and i really feeling very bad and not able to concentrate on anything. i really really very badly missing her.
When I told about this to her she replied stating that she is not emotional type as I am and also said "please do not expect me to console you as i dont know how to do that". Also she said that, "you need to face all the situations and should not be this much emotional".
My question is then why did she cry and encouraged me to talk every day. Now i am really missing her and not able to live a normal life as I was before. But I want to focus on my job and forget her completely as I also realise that this is the only solution for me not to miss her. Also here in India no body understood and there for me and I dont have any companion at all as my husband is inclined towards spirituality.
Can you please help me?

I have all white bedding, and I love it. Although I do eat in bed which isnt really the smartest thing. I have a slipcover so its easy to throw in the wash, and so far I'm really loving it.
Heres my bedroom link so you can see. http://ap2ch.blogspot.com/2012/01/master-bedroom-impossible-made-possible.html- AnonymousJanuary 31, 2012 at 11:32 AM
Can you tell me what the source is for that lovely mirror?
ReplyDelete I love color but an all white bed is so fresh and soothing to sink into at night. Having a washable coverlet for us has been key to keeping our all white look clean since we installed it about 18 months ago. Love the full width bolster you have and gosh our headboards are so similar. Here's a link to my bedroom post:

I was SOOO afraid to do white bedding, since I have a black dog who sleeps with us. But I just love the look, it's so relaxing and romantic, kind of like staying in a fancy hotel. So I finally bought a down comforter and white duvet cover. I love love love it! And honestly my dog does not get it toooo dirty (unless she's been in the pool UGH). And it's nice to be able to just slip the cover off and wash it! I feel like my bedroom is so much calmer and less busy, and now I can use bright colors as accessories! :-D
ReplyDelete I do all white bedding! We are about to get a kong size bed and have to get new bedding. I'm trying ti find something I like but it comes back to WHITE! You can see a bad pic of my all white bedding here- http://charminglykristin.wordpress.com/2012/01/page/10/

Street Sharks was an animated television series made by DIC Entertainment. The show started on September 1, 1994 and ended on May 1, 1995. The show was about 4 half-men/half-sharks that fought crime. They became half-shark when a university professor named Dr. Paradigm tested his gene-manipulation techniques on a marlin and a lobster. Dr. Bolton, who was a fellow professor, had attempted to destroy Paradigm's work but he was transformed into an inhuman monstrosity by the evil scientist before he could escape. Paradigm would later kidnap Bolton's four sons — John (who became Ripster), Bobby (who became Streex), Coop (who became Big Slammu), and Clint (who became Jab) and would transform them into sharks. As soon as the boys transformed, they ate a hotdog stand and got away from the police that were chasing them by diving into a lake and burrowing their way into the city by eating the dirt. The brothers were going to capture Paradigm so that they could force him to return them to their original human selves and then expose Paradigm's genetic experiments.

CED in the History of Media Technology |
The Teldec or TED VideoDisc system was the first postwar consumer disc system to be given a public demonstration in Berlin, Germany in June 1970. The system had been under development for seven years by the German firms AEG Telefunken and Teldec (Teldec was a joint subsidiary of Telefunken and English Decca). Like the other prototype VideoDisc systems that followed, the player was similar in appearance to an audio turntable. The existence of the Teldec system legitimized RCA's VideoDisc research group (at the expense of Holotape), and at the same time energized disc research at RCA, as there was now a competitor.
The Teldec system used paper-thin PVC discs suspended in air only by the central hub. These thin grooved discs became rigid when rotating at the 1500 RPM playback speed. The 1970 prototype demonstration provided 5 minutes of B&W video from an 8" disc, and changers that could play a stack of discs were being developed. The pickup arm tracked the disc linearly (same as CED), with each groove corresponding to one television frame, making effective freeze frame possible. The diamond-tipped stylus used the piezoelectric effect, wherein a crystal produces voltage proportional to the mechanical stress applied. The crystal, located directly above the diamond stylus, received this variable stress from the hill-and-dale grooves of the disc. The Teldec system went on the market in 1975, thus also becoming the first postwar consumer VideoDisc system to be marketed.

The molar fractions of guanine plus cytosine (GC) in DNA were determined for 36 yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) which almost completely cover human chromosome band Xq28, a terminal reverse band, corresponding to about 8 Mb of DNA. This allowed the construction of the most complete compositional map to date of a chromosomal band; three regions were observed: (i) a proximal 3.5-Mb region formed by GC-poor L and GC-rich H1 isochores; (ii) a middle 2.2-Mb region essentially formed by a GC-rich H2 isochore and a very GC-rich H3 isochore separated by a GC-poor L isochore, YACs from this region being characterized by a striking compositional heterogeneity and instability; and (iii) a distal 1.3-Mb region exclusively formed by GC-poor L isochores. Gene and CpG island concentrations increased with the GC levels of the isochores, as expected. Xq28 exemplifies a subset of reverse bands which are different from the two other subsets, namely from telomeric bands, which are characterized by specific cytogenetic properties and by the predominance of H2 and H3 isochores, and from the majority of reverse bands, which do not contain H2 and H3 isochores.

Many species of Penicillium can cause blue mold. The fungi are common on plant debris and senescent plant tissue. Invasion of onion bulbs and garlic is usually through wounds, bruises, or uncured neck tissue. Once inside the bulb, the fungus grows through the fleshy scales, eventually sporulating profusely on the surface of lesions and wounds. Optimum conditions include moderate temperatures and high relative humidity.

Results 1 to 8 of 8
Fastest Recorded N54 in Canada :) 121mph - Cayuga, Ontario
After having been plagued with issues on the car for the last 2-3 months, small things popping up here and there, think I've finally got my beast back
My best run on this track with all the stage 3 boltons (UR ******* DPs, AE ******* exhaust, UR CAI, Helix FMIC) was 12.61@111mph with a 2.0 60'. This was with V3 last year.
I installed the CMGS-FS VC2 kit a few weeks back, went to the track with a pure windshield washer fluid mix (45-50 meth and 50-55 water) and did a best of email@example.com. This was with MS109 in the tank. My shifts sucked, avg between 0.35 fastest and 0.55sec, taken from procede datalogs by looking at the Throttle on/off datalog..I was pleased with the trap but couldn't believe my ETs, so damn slow, had to re-learn my MT shifts...I was actually shifting at close to 7k for most of the runs except this last/best run of the night.
In the morning after the above runs though I noticed that my rear intake pipe on my CAI was completely off and the car was sucking in hot unfiltered engine air the whole time. I also had a bad TMAP sensor which would sometimes spike my IATs to 255F (130C) so that was probably causing some ign timing issues as well.
Finally I wanted to attempt my best so far today. I put in an 80/20 meth mix (M7 nozzle), I decided to shift around 6100-6200 rpm (not 6800-7000) and basically try to get out of 1st gear as quickly as possible as I noticed through procede's datalogs that I'd spend a HUGE amount of time sliding around and feathering the clutch in 1st to get going so that had to get fixed.
Arrived at the track, first run on pump + 80/20 meth: 12.7 @118 with a 2.2 60'...right away I was encouraged but my 60' SUCKED!...did 3 more runs, got it to firstname.lastname@example.com with a 2.05 60'...this was awesome, getting better definitely...
At this point I had only about 45mins before the track closed so I decided to pour in 2 galons of MS103 (last time I ran MS109). With race gas and meth I did 3 more runs. Out of those 3, last two traps shocked me, 120 and 121mph...my ETs were 12.35 and 12.39..
Considering my fastest 12.39@121 was with a 2.1 60' there's still lots of potential to squeeze out numbers..hoping for 123-124mph and with on DRs for a 1.7sec 60', should put my ETs to mid-high 11s, can't wait...my 1/8th was the best i've seen 95.3mph
Oh, by the way, my shifting greatly improved...most shifts were 0.25secs with a best of 0.22..beat that HA!
I took out all the seats in the car, just left mine in...For reference, E92 M3s ran a best of 12.9@112 tonight (pulley+SSK+exhaust)
And finally, here's the slips:
Nice work again bro, really happy for you.
I am coming for you tomorrow tho (assuming the wife lets me out)! Weight reduction and race gas incoming. Still no DRs
luca and gian are going as well...good luck to all of you...waiting for you guys to brake this record so i have a reason to go back
What is this: CMGS-FS VC2 ?

I guess i know everyone wants to feel special, but once you start adding and adding to the title of the "world record" it loses its luster.. i can see a few parameters, like 135 or 335 at or Mt, nos, no nos, and even tune only , i can understand those.. but it really doesn't matter where, especially since we share a border.. great runs though, i am very happpy for you and even jealous right now

Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALSK) - a local Alaskan Telecom company providing "leading integrated communications services to consumer and business customers in and out of Alaska"- recently caught my eye because it was priced at 0.65 times earnings and 70 percent of book value. Upon further investigation, I discovered these numbers were the result of one-time expense deductions as the result of ALSK's divestiture of its wireless assets to form a joint venture Alaska Wireless Networks (AWN) with its main competitor GCI Communications. (NASDAQ: GNCMA).
It is my intent to provide the reader a clearer picture of both the financial position of ALSK and the Alaskan Telecom Market to reveal the intrinsic value of this local Alaskan telecom company. It should be noted that I make every attempt to be as accurate as possible in my analysis but the reader should realize that my projections are estimates and may be subject to error.
Why is the Market Pessimistic about Alaska Communications?
Shares of ALSK have declined nearly 80% over the last three years primarily for three reasons:
1) The company was forced to slash its dividend - which ALSK was funding with about 94 percent of its free cash flow.
2) Competitive pressures primarily due to the entrance of Verizon (NYSE:VZ) in the Alaskan Telecom market.
3) The company's substantial debt load has concerned investors.
The Alaskan Telecom Market
ALSK's management has estimated the Alaska telecom market to be a $1 billion industry growing at five percent annually. (Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., 2014) As of this writing, AT&T Alascom was estimated to have 50 percent market share, GCI 30 percent, and ALSK 20 percent. (Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., 2013) Verizon has recently turned on its 4G LTE network and has invested $110 million in its Alaska operations.
My belief is that the Alaskan telecom market displays characteristics of an oligopoly because it has four major players and there is substantial startup costs associated with building a network - which limits competition. Oligopolies consist of high barriers to entry with a few firms that can raise prices, limit competition and maximize long run profits while stabilizing revenues and cash flows. To illustrate, since 2004 ALSK has averaged about $351 million in revenue and $19.7 million of free cash flow per year. (Morningstar, Inc., 2014) The synergies that will result from the Alaska Wireless Network transaction will serve to only strengthen these already dependable cash flow streams. The Alaska Wireless Network between ALSK and GCI will have close to 300 cell sites of the approximately 647 in all of Alaska or about 46 percent of all cell sites in The Last Frontier. (Statewide Broadband Task Force, 2013) The AWN network is expected to cover 95 percent of Alaska. AT&T (NYSE:T) owns 187 cell tower sites covering about 90 percent of the state. (Richardson, 2012) For some perspective, Verizon had built nine cell sites as of July 2013 with plans to build 25 in the state and its 4G LTE network reaches 65 percent of Alaska. (Alaska Business Monthly, 2013) The takeaway here is that the market has become overly pessimistic of ALSK due to Verizon's entry without fully analyzing the facts. ALSK is now one-third owner of the most extensive wireless network in Alaska. Let me rephrase this. The Alaska Wireless Network is slated to have 12 cell sites for every one that Verizon has with a 30 percent greater reach than Verizon's 4G LTE network. It would make more sense for Verizon to buy ALSK if it wanted to further its presence in Alaska.
Valuing ALSK's Earnings Power and Assets
Bruce Greenwald's earnings power value and reproduction cost formula provides valuable insight as to the earnings power of a company and the costs a competitor/buyer would need to pay in order to enter a market. Greenwald has theorized that the reproduction cost of a company is the investment a competitor would need to make in order to enter a marketplace and compete with that company. Earnings power value is the reasonable earnings power that can be expected from a company given its capital allocation and financial position. A company with earnings power in excess of its reproduction costs can be assumed to be operating with a competitive advantage because it is able to consistently earn in excess of a competitor's initial investment. (Greenwald & Kahn, 2001)
AWN Transaction
The Alaska Wireless Network produced net income of $56.34 million, had $19.72 million of depreciation expense, and $18.53 million of capital expenditures in the second half of 2013. (Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., 2013) Doubling these numbers gives an investor a good idea of AWN's annual projections. If we take a rough estimate and assume that AWN will annually generate roughly $100 million of net income and $40 million of both depreciation and capital expenditures, we are left with free cash flow or owner's earnings of $100 million. ($100 million net income + $40 million of depreciation - $40 million of capex) It should be noted that GCI management estimated $120 million in EBITDA and $40 million in capital expenditures for AWN's first year of operations. (GCI & Alaska Communications Form the Alaska Wireless Network, LLC., 2012) ALSK will receive a $50 million preferred distribution from AWN for the first four years plus 33 percent of the residual. Put simply, ALSK should receive about $60 million ($50 million preferred distribution + $10 million equity interest) from AWN for four years and then 33 percent thereafter. I include this $60 million figure when calculating the earnings power of ALSK.
Reproduction Value
Let's start with ALSK's investment in AWN, which is worth $267 million. (Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., 2013) I'm going to assume that it would take three years of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for a competitor to establish its customer base and other business operations. ALSK had SG&A average expenditures of 28% of sales for the last five years, which equates to $98.2 million. I adjusted the selling expense figure down to 10 percent of average revenues to account for the transfer of its wireless business to AWN. That leaves us with about $31 million in SG&A expenses for 2014. Three years of selling expenses equates to $93 million. ($31 million x 3) A competitor would need to pay about $91 million to its account reps, executives and in all other expenses directly related to running day-to-day operations. Add to this $120 million of capital expenditures that a competitor would need to invest getting its broadband operations up and running. (ALSK's 2014 capex guidance of $40 million x 3) Remember, Verizon has spent $110 million so far in its Alaska operations. I believe it is therefore reasonable to assume that a competitor would value ALSK at $480 million ($267 million AWN investment + $93 million in SG&A expenses + $120 million in capex) which equates to $9.81 per share of reproduction costs.
Earnings Power Value
ALSK's management has projected $310 million of revenue for 2014. Multiplying 2014 revenue by the last five years average operating margins of 14.68 percent (excluding 2013 margins due to one-time expense deduction associated with AWN transaction) equates to normalized operating income of about $45.9 million. Deducting projected interest expense of $33.74 million (ALSK 2014 first quarter interest x 4) leaves us with income before taxes of $11.75 million. If we then subtract average taxes of 29.41 percent from $11.75 million, we are left with net income of $8.3 million. Add back 2014 depreciation projection (ALSK 2014 first quarter depreciation x 4) of $35.16 million and AWN earnings of $60 million (see AWN Transaction section) to get normalized earnings or operating cash flow of $103.46 million. Subtracting 2014 capital expenditure projections of $40 million leaves us with owner's earnings (or Free Cash Flow) of about $63.46 million. We then divide the owner's earnings by the weighted average cost of capital of 6.7% to get $958.70 million for earnings power value of the business operations. Adding back cash in excess of one percent of sales (cash not required for operations) leaves us with a company earnings power value of $987.52 million. We then must subtract total debt outstanding of $438 million to arrive at the earnings power value of the equity, which is about $549.52 million. Divide this number by the shares outstanding and we find that ALSK has an earnings power value per share of $11.23.
Discounted Cash Flow
Discounting owner's earnings of $63.46 million over the next five years assuming a five percent owner's earnings, three percent terminal growth rate, 6.7 percent weighted average cost of capital, and 12.89 percent capitalization rate (owner's earnings/enterprise value) equates to an intrinsic value of $14.48 per share. Is it any coincidence that ALSK's stock price hovered near or exceeded the $14 mark on many occasions over the last 15 years? I think not. And this was at a time when ALSK was competing with GCI for the highly competitive, capital intensive wireless business. With the newly formed AWN structure, ALSK has strengthened its balance sheet, can focus on growing the more lucrative business broadband segment (ALSK grew business broadband revenues 15.29 percent from 2012 to 2013) while receiving passive wireless income from its investment in AWN.
What About the Debt?
The biggest hurdle facing ALSK is its task of reducing its debt load to decrease the chance of defaulting on its debt. While ALSK's debt ratio of about five to one is higher than the industry average, management has taken swift, decisive actions to pay down its debt since closing the AWN deal. ALSK used the approximately $100 million it received from the AWN transaction to pay down its senior debt obligations and decreased its debt $105.6 million or almost 20 percent in 2013. My belief is that the company must issue new debt in order to retire its senior obligations of about $319 million due in 2016. Current debt covenants prohibit ALSK from issuing new debt or paying dividends until the company is at or below 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA. As of Mar. 31, 2014 ALSK's total debt to adjusted EBITDA was 4.25. ALSK's adjusted EBITDA was $106.5M at the end of 2013. (Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., 2013) In order to avoid selling off its assets to retire its senior credit obligation, ALSK needs to reduce its debt to a level at or below $372.75 million by 2016. ($106.5x3.5). As of March 31, 2014, ALSK had $438 million of total debt. So if over the next two years ALSK uses all of its preferential distributions (not including its equity interest) from the AWN transaction of $100 million to pay down debt. It would have $338 million of outstanding debt - well below the required terms of the debt covenant.
Up to this point, management has strived to deliver shareholder value through debt reduction and has stayed true to its commitment. Given management's commitment to de-levering, backed by last year's 20 percent debt reduction, there is no legitimate reason to believe ALSK will not be able meet its debt obligation before 2016.
Does a Margin of Safety Exist?
With an Aug. 5 closing price of $1.76, I believe the real price to earnings ratio of ALSK is about 1.36 and its price to reproduction cost is 0.19. This gives ALSK investors an earnings yield of over 70% with an 80% discount to reproduction cost.
While the upside is great, ALSK does not come without risks. There is a possibility that ALSK could miss an interest payment, be forced to sell off its assets to meet its obligations, or be unable to issue new debt in order to retire its senior credit facility due in 2016. With this in mind, ALSK's intrinsic value is at least $9.81 per share or about $480 million, a price in which a potential buyer and/or larger competitor would need to pay in order to enter the Alaskan telecom market. The current market price of $1.76 represents a more than 80 percent discount to intrinsic value of both earnings power value, DCF, and reproduction cost. I believe ALSK's large discount to intrinsic value more than compensates investors for the risks associated with ALSK's debt and competitive environment. This situation is a classic example of market inefficiency and if "Mr. Market" does not acknowledge ALSK's economic value in the short run, I plan to keep on buying from him until he does.
Is ALSK truly a hidden gem? I believe it is.

Carrie Underwood will make her acting debut on "How I Met Your Mother" later this season.
The season 4 "American Idol" winner will guest-star on an episode of the CBS series, creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday (Jan. 6). The episode will likely air in March.
Her character, named Tiffany, is a "gorgeous enigma" who catches Ted's (Josh Radnor) eye. "What makes her even more intriguing," the creators say, "is the fact that she's a pharmaceutical rep, or Pharma Girl, which according to Barney [Neil Patrick Harris] has replaced nurses and stewardesses to become the Official New Profession of Hot Chicks."
Despite all that, we're reasonably confident that she's not the character in the show's title. More likely for that role? Rachel Bilson, who guests in Monday's (Jan. 11) 100th episode of the series as a woman who'll play a pivotal role in Ted's future. Bays and Thomas obviously don't want to tip their hands too much, but they do allow that Bilson's character is "very important" to the show's over-arching story.
Other guests on "HIMYM" in the near future include Amanda Peet as a co-worker of Marshall's (Jason Segel) on Jan. 18, and New York Yankee Nick Swisher and CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz later in the season.
Thomas also says the show has a Super Bowl-themed episode set to go for Feb. 8, the day after CBS airs Super Bowl XLIV. "There's a Barney [Neil Patrick Harris] story line that kind of leaps out of the Super Bowl," he says. Bays adds that it will "put events in motion for the rest of the season."

The Islander Apartments
Two giant A-frames-- one over the entrance to the complex (with two Tiki poles on the front and back to support the middle of the frame), and one near the pool (with another Tiki pole supporting the middle of the frame). Click on the images to see them larger and close-up!
This is a little, old apartment complex in Santa Ana. Gated, quiet, filled with lush tropical foliage-- why it's a neighborhood Tiki paradise. Your escape to the Islands! I've tried to get into the manager's office to talk about renting one of these apartments several times, but no one ever answers!
Sorry about the hiatus, it was a heck of a semester at school, but now that it's summertime, I'll attempt to be regular in my updates, although I'll be taking another short leave in a few weeks to go to Europe for a month.

This is great! I love "tiki" architecture and always have my eye out for it. I've seen a few places in the Disneyland area (Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, etc.) that haven't yet been torn down or bulldozed.

Man, I love your blog. This is the architecture of my childhood. I was born and raised in Anaheim and even though it was the 70s and early 80s, a lot of this was still standing, especially around Disney Land. Anyhow, keep it up! I can't wait to move back out west.

Previous Section | Back to Table of Contents | Lords Hansard Home Page |
Lord Mayhew of Twysden: My Lords, I join in those thanks. I do not quarrel with the new clause, but I find myself almost stupefied by it. Perhaps the Minister will deal with these questions. First, does the Government's argument depend on the proposition that the phrase "liable to detention" under the relevant Acts has a different meaning from "may be detained"? Secondly, if so, is that because "liable to detention" has the significance of a term of art?
Where legislation is ambiguous, is it not a principle of construction that the courts will always prefer the construction that favours the liberty of the individual? Is there not still an ambiguity? How confident is the Minister that there is some arcane but none the less watertight distinction between the meaning of one phrase compared to the other? Most of us would say that "may be detained" means "liable to detention". Most of us would say that "liable to detention" means "may be detained". I hope that I have sufficiently explained the nature of my anxieties to the Minister at this late hour.
Lord Hylton: My Lords, I am concerned about people who cannot be removed from the country but do not have leave to enter or remain. I do not want them to be in limbo or a vacuum. I have no objection if they are required to live in a known, defined place or have conditions of reporting attached to them.
However, it is important that they should be entitled to work, if they can get it, and to normal national health care for themselves and education for their children. I hope that the Minister can reassure us on those points.
Lord Filkin: My Lords, I thank noble Lords for their comments. Mr Justice Crane interpreted the law in a way that neither the Government nor their legal advisers believed was likely. Therefore, he opened up this lacuna. We had not thought that it was likely that that construction could be put upon the words, but he is a justice of the Crown and one must believe that he had good reason for doing so. We shall wait to see what the appeal brings forth.
We do not necessarily take the view that we shall have an unfavourable result on appeal, although one cannot be 100 per cent certain of judgments on appeal. If the decision goes against us for a second time, we would have a considerable problem. Hence the need for the legislation now.
I turn to the extremely good but difficult questions posed by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mayhew. The phrase "liable to detention" describes a class of person who may be detained, so that class of person is different. I am also advised that the clause has the desired effect. I am not a lawyer and I have not spent hours studying the clauses, but clearly we have put some considerable effort into considering the issue following the discussion and the perfectly good scrutiny process that occurred after withdrawal of the amendment on the previous occasion. I am as confident as I can be that the Government have given this matter serious consideration and believe that they have now put the matter right. For those reasons we believe that our amendment is necessary.
Lord Hylton: My Lords, will the Minister reply to my point about limbo? Can he also give an assurance that the people to whom this amendment applies will be granted limited leave to remain and that that limited leave will be periodically reviewed.
Lord Filkin: My Lords, I apologise to the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, for not responding to his questions. I am struggling to see whether they are relevant to this amendment. Responding to his points takes us over issues that we have discussed throughout the Bill rather than just on this specific issue. In no sense am I seeking to avoid the questions, but for the efficiency of the House and because I do not believe that they bear directly on this measure, I shall write to him to set out the Government's position.
Lord Carlisle of Bucklow: My Lords, perhaps a simpler way of summarising the Minister's remarks would be to say that the Home Office is of the opinion that they will win in the Court of Appeal, but they are not absolutely sure that they can be confident in that opinion.
Lord Filkin: My Lords, I shall not engage in a reply. The point is well expressed and there is no need for me
to nod consent to it. On the limbo point, the purpose of the clause is to avoid limbo, but such people will not be granted leave to remain; they will be on temporary admission.On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 67 [Reporting restriction: travel expenses]:
Lord Filkin moved Amendment No. 63:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Lord Filkin moved Amendment No. 64:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 69 [Asylum-seeker: residence, &c. restriction]:
Lord Filkin moved Amendment No. 65:
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Lord Kingsland moved Amendment No. 66:
The noble Lord said: My Lords, this group of amendments relates to the statutory presumption proposed in Clause 70 that a person is presumed to be a serious criminal for the purposes of the refugee convention if certain criteria are met. The presumption is a rebuttable one; but if it is not rebutted, the refugee convention provides that the person may lose his right to protection. Your Lordships will recall that, on Report, the House agreed to an amendment that changed the approach proposed by the Government that the presumption should apply where a person had been sentenced to two years' imprisonment or more.
The proceedings in your Lordships' House on Report were misunderstood by the national media. The BBC and several newspapers stated that the effect of the amendment agreed to on Report was simply to raise the threshold for the imposition of the presumption in an individual case from a sentence of two years' imprisonment being imposed on a defendant to one of 10 years' imprisonment and that, in consequence, it would be harder for criminals to be deported.
I cannot stress too strongly that that is simply not the case. All such reports were factually incorrect. What was agreed on Report provides greater protection for the United Kingdom against those who commit serious crime. The Government's original wording in Clause 70 provided for the presumption to be applied once a person had been sentenced to two
There are a number of problems with the Government's preferred test. Chief among them, in practical terms, is the creation of the bizarre situation that a person sentenced to two years for assault or evasion of VAT, for example, would be presumed to be a serious criminal and a danger to the community in the United Kingdom, but a person sentenced to 18, 21 or even 23 months for dealing in drugs or for a sexual offence against a child would not be presumed to be a serious criminal.
The test approved by your Lordships on Report did away with that anomaly which was the result of the Government's original drafting. The Bill now provides for the presumption to be applied in the case of any person who is convicted of a crime that carries a maximum sentenceI stress "a maximum sentence"of 10 years or more. That is regardless of the punishment actually imposed.
I want to make it absolutely clear that Clause 70, as amended on Report, does not require the actual imposition of a sentence of 10 years or more before a person is deemed to be a serious criminal; it requires that the person is convicted of a crime for which he could be sentenced to 10 years or more. By doing away with the Government's criterion of an actual sentence of two years, drug dealers and sex offenders who are sentenced to less than two years will still be caught by the provisions of the clause. In my submission, that provides greater protection for the community of the United Kingdom than the Government's original proposal.
As I have made clear, in my submission, the amendments before your Lordships more clearly reflect the United Kingdom's international obligation under the refugee convention by focusing on the type of crime committed rather than the level of punishment imposed. Indeed, as noble Lords on the Government Front Bench and those who advise them will be aware, the test that we are advocating is the very one that the Government recently decided to use in respect of whether to allow convicted criminals into the United Kingdom under the Immigration Rules. I refer to the announcement made to your Lordships on behalf of the Government by the noble Lord, Lord Bassam of Brighton, in a Written Answer on 24th October 2000 at col. WA 18 of the Official Report.
In another place on 2lst November 2000, the then immigration Minister, Mrs Barbara Roche, said that the Government wanted to,
The amendments now before your Lordships would replicate that test in the context of Clause 70. They would retain the threshold of offences for which the maximum sentence is 10 years' imprisonment, or
In conclusion, in my submission, and for the reasons that I have set out, these amendments provide for greater protection for the UK community against those who may abuse our hospitality by committing serious crimes, as well as fulfilling this country's international obligations by focusing on crime rather than punishment, which is the test set out in the refugee convention. I commend the amendments to your Lordships' House. I beg to move.
(a) the offence is one for which the maximum period of imprisonment is ten years or more, or
(b) the offence has been specified for the purpose of this subsection under subsection (3A)."
"focus the power on those offences of most concern to the public . . . offences punishable by a maximum of 10 years imprisonment, or more, or any offences involving violence, violent sexual behaviour or firearms".[Official Report, Commons, 20/11/00; col. 149W.)
