DHCP slows down boot time - using wifi
I have a basic network setup which does not use a static ip address, I guess that was automatically assigning via DHCP. It slows down my boot time as it tries to detect DHCP which doesn't exists at boot time since I setup NetworkManager for wifi.
Can I get rid of that DHCP lookup process without losing the ability to use DHCP with plugged in to a LAN? TIA |
Have you tried NetworkManager?
It seems like you're talking about rc.inet1 starting up. You can do two things:
1. Comment the rc.inet1 section in rc.M: Code:
# Initialize the networking hardware Code:
# chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 |
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and make sure you don't have any interfaces configured.
Probably somewhere you have USE_DHCP[n]="yes" They should all look like this if you're using networkmanager: Code:
# Config information for eth0: |
Sorry I missed revisiting my own thread :D. Yes, I'm using NetworkManager currently. Its just that I want to cut the boot time delay caused by this DHCP thing. I'll just try disabling rc.inet1 and see if it improves and still working. Thanks |
I disabled /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and so far, it speeds boot time a bit due to few seconds saved for without looking up DHCP.
Thanks |

Bandanschik: "When the impossible is possible"
Time again to be "brushin' up your Russian" and heading over to www.velomobile.org and a new article there by my young acquaintance Bandanschik.
A very young (22 years old) international student who is in Canada to continue his studies after completing an earlier degree in Ukraine, he is a prolific writer on all manner of "things recumbent" and his latest article is arguably one of his best.
The article uses the central thread of prognostications of what the maximum attainable velocity would be on a human powered vehicle, and how many times those forecasts have been broken. He begins in the days of the 1969 Ground Hugger, the early days of the IHPVA, through the times of David Gordon Wilson, Abbott and Kyle, the heady days of the Vector and its domination and then up to those of the Varna, George Georgiev and Sam Whittingham.
There is a wealth of pictures and references. Google does a great job translating Russian but certain words are an issue; strimlayner(a) is streamliner of course, muskulohodov is HPV, and boltatsya seems to be sway or oscillate.
Thanks to Bandanschik for this marvelous snapshot of recumbent history… I think it is symptomatic of how universal the interest in recumbents is that we get a Russian language article from a lad out of the ukraine, written from Canada…

Jeremy Gilchrist (WR)
Gilchrist left Virginia Tech after his redshirt freshman season to get more playing time on offense. Although it took a season before that came to fruition, the quick slot receiver lit up MEAC foes with 69 catches for 1,043 yards and seven touchdowns in 2007. He followed up that first-team all-conference effort with a second-team All-MEAC season in 2008 (40-544-2). Teams doubled him in '08, allowing other receivers -- like fellow receiver prospect Justin Brown -- to excel. But Gilchrist's biggest contribution will likely be as a punt returner, as he has scored six touchdowns on returns the past two seasons.
High School
A record-setting receiver for Coach Chris Beatty ... finished his career ranked second in the Virginia High School League record book in both career pass receptions (198) and career receiving yards (3,230) ... stands seventh in career touchdown receptions with 33 ... ranked second all-time in the VHSL for receiving yards in a season (1,399), third in receptions in a season (87) and fifth in touchdown receptions (18) ... rated the No. 11 player in Virginia by The Roanoke Times and No. 12 by SuperPrep ... caught 87 passes for 1,399 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior ... scored a total of 24 touchdowns that season ... contributed 10 interceptions on defense and averaged 30.7 yards per punt return, taking three back for touchdowns ... named first-team AAA all-state by The Associated Press ... was voted second-team all-state by the coaches as a receiver, kick return man and defensive back ... was also all-district and all-region at all three positions ... named All-Tidewater as a junior ... ranked the No. 49 receiver in the nation by Rivals ... an All-Atlantic Region selection by PrepStar.

Positives: Excellent straight-line speed and short-area quickness. Reaches top speed quickly when free off the line. Lines up in the slot, in motion and outside, but will likely be a slot receiver in the NFL. Makes difficult catches look easy, snatching the ball from the air. Has relatively long arms for his size. Very elusive after the catch, using fluid hips and quick steps to elude defenders. Should contribute as a punt returner because of his hands, quickness and an ability to make the first man miss.
Negatives: Short with a small build. Will struggle to fend off press coverage on the line. Will be tried on kickoff returns, but may lack the size teams prefer in that area. Loses concentration occasionally, hearing footsteps or trying to make a move before the catch. Not always crisp in his routes, and will round them off or look a bit lackadaisical if not the play's first option. Generates a lot of his receiving yards after a short pass, utilizing his skills against a lower level of competition. Not much of a factor as a blocker mainly due from his lack of girth, not effort.

The concept of Free Software, wherein knowledge is created by the community for the community, without being driven by commercial interests, must be extended to research to solve problems in health care, agriculture, energy and safe drinking water, the former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, said.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the three-day National Convention for Academics and Research on 'Computing freedom for technology, education and research,' organised by the Free Software Movement of India (FSMI), a national coalition of regional free software movements, on the Mahindra Satyam campus here on Thursday.
Mr. Kalam implored scientists, researchers and academics to embrace the 'open source philosophy' in their respective fields, and work towards building 'open source networks' that can help pool talent, research and know-how from around the world. Such a platform can help evolve scientific solutions to problems, particularly those relevant to developing countries.

Was ECB's monetary policy optimal?
Overall, the ECB managed monetary policy quite satisfactorily in the first phase of EMU. Nevertheless, this paper asks whether monetary policy could not have been improved. In the last three years, Euroland was confronted with the first external shock. Oil prices increased considerably, leading to an increase of headline inflation of over one percentage point in 2000–01. With a specific Taylor rule one can very well understand, how the ECB sets interest rates, but it turns out that monetary policy based on the estimated Taylor reaction function was rather backward than forward looking. While it reacted with a lag to the actions of the U.S. Fed, it was overly cautious by targeting total HICP inflation. Here it is strongly argued and also demonstrated with model simulations that a monetary policy oriented towards core inflation would have resulted in a much better economic performance. The business cycle downturn could have been mitigated with no additional inflation risks. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2002

McLibel: Synopsis
PUBLICITY CONTACT: Beth Portello Cinema Libre Studio 8328 De Soto Ave. Canoga Park, CA 91304 PH: 818-349-8822 FX: 818-349-9922 email@example.com DISTRIBUTOR CONTACT: Adam Chapnick Cinema Libre Distribution 8328 De Soto Ave. Canoga Park, CA 91304 PH: 818-349-8822 FX: 818-349-9922 email@example.com
McLibel is the true story of a postman and a gardener who took on McDonald's and wouldn't say "McSorry," in a legal battle since described as "the biggest corporate PR disaster in history." McDonald's loved using the UK's libel laws to suppress criticism. Major media organizations like the BBC and The Sun had crumbled and apologized. But then McDonald's sued penniless activists' Helen Steel and Dave Morris. In what became the longest trial in English legal history, the "McLibel 2" represented themselves against McDonald's USD$19 million legal team. Every aspect of the corporation's business was cross-examined: from junk food and McJobs, to animal cruelty, environmental damage and the company's advertising to children. Outside the courtroom, Dave brought up his young son alone and
Helen supported herself working nights in a bar. McDonald's tried every trick in the book against them. Legal maneuvers. A visit from Ronald McDonald. Top U.S.executives flying to London for secret settlement negotiations. Even spies. Seven years later, in February 2005, the marathon legal battle finally concluded in the European Court of Human Rights. And the result took everyone by surprise - especially the British Government. Filmed over ten years by no-budget Director Franny Armstrong (Drowned Out), McLibel features reenactments of key courtroom scenes directed by Ken Loach. McLibel is not about hamburgers. It is about the power multinational corporations wield over our everyday lives and two unlikely heroes who are changing McWorld.

i found this magic wand today, at the beach. i'm not sure what kind of powers it has but it's a really awful shade of beigey-pink. I wonder what that means. It looks multifunctional.

"Losing on the other hand, really does say something about who you are. Among other things it measures: do you blame others, or do you own the loss? Do you analyze your failure, or just complain about bad luck?"
-Lance Armstrong
Yesterday, I started off the Early Look with the title #Winning and today I chose its antonym as the title. It is rarely enjoyable to lose, or think about losing, especially in investing and business, but the reality is that we probably learn more from our mistakes than we do from our victories.
Lance Armstrong is now considered by many to be one of the biggest losers of our generation after being one of the biggest winners with his unprecedented string of Tour de France victories. In the most recent news, the Justice Department has filed a suit for $100MM against Armstrong and Tailwind Sports under the False Claims Act on behalf of the U.S. Postal Service (yes, it does beg the questions as to why the USPS was sponsoring cycling!). Time will tell what, if anything, Armstrong has learned from his failures and mistakes.
To be fair, it is natural to over react to mistakes (although I don't think Armstrong is guilty of this) and I've certainly noticed this with myself and my colleagues at times. The immediate reaction to a loss is often a willingness to quit a strategy. In reality, the reaction to a loss should be to analyze it, learn from it, and focus on improving the results.
The more interesting point on not learning and moving on from mistakes is that we basically inhibit ourselves from creating new ideas and opportunities. As Po Bronson and Ashley Merriman write in "Top Dog: The Science of Winning and Losing":
"By definition, new ideas can't come from a playing-not-to-lose mindset, where the inhibition system is hyperactive. Creativity requires disinhibition: it requires turning off the internal censors in order to allow brainstorming and idea generation. Neuroscience has shown that in the very moment when a new idea sparks to life in the brain, the prevention system is turned off."
So, in effect, if you can't actually forget about your past mistakes and become uninhibited, you will chemically impair your ability to generate new and innovative ideas.
Forgetting about mistakes is certainly not easy, especially when the reminders are very present. In the Chart of the Day, we've highlighted the three worst performing major global asset classes in the year-to-date: Peruvian equities, the Japanese Yen, and gold. The irony of the last two is that when central bankers are aggressively printing money, like the Japanese central bank is, gold is not supposed to go down. Of course, if unilateral money printing leads to U.S. dollar strength, the case for gold obviously becomes less compelling. It should be no surprise that in U.S dollar terms the Yen is down almost the same percentage as gold this year.
The larger risk to gold is that we actually get to a place in which the U.S. Federal Reserve begins to tighten policy. Certainly some slackness remains in the U.S. economy and inflation appears largely in check, but as my colleague and our U.S. economist Christian Drake pointed out yesterday in a note, we are starting to see potential that economic growth in the U.S. may accelerate based on:
1) Housing – The housing recovery continues on the parabolic recovery that we outlined at the start of the year. Specifically, mortgage purchase applications recently registered a YTD high, median home prices of existing homes for existing home sales rose 11.8% (the highest level since November 2005), and inventory of existing home remains basically at its trough (down 17% in the last 12 months); and
2) Employment -This week's Initial Jobless Claims data was again positive with both the SA and NSA series showing sharp sequential improvement. We consider the 4-week rolling average in NSA claims to be the more accurate representation of the underlying labor market trend and on that metric, the trend improved 250bps week-over-week as the year-over-year change in 4-wk rolling claims went to -6.3% Y/Y from -3.8% Y/Y the week prior. So, despite initial sequester related impacts beginning in April and the seasonal distortion in the seasonally adjusted data shifting to a headwind, labor market trends continue to show steady improvement.
Despite what some of the talking heads might have you believe, in an economy that is 70% consumption, a strong U.S. dollar (the currency with which we consume), an improving housing market (the consumer's balance sheet), and stabilizing employment, are all very supportive factors of improving economic growth.
I'm going to end this morning in the winner category. If you haven't been watching European sovereign yields, you should be focused on them as a measure of global tail risk. Since the freak-out highs in yields perpetuated by the Cyprus dysfunction, yields in the 10-year sovereign bonds of Italy, Spain, and Portugal have recovered to some of the lowest levels we've seen since the beginning of the European sovereign debt crisis began. In fact, it won't be long before Italian 10-year yields starts with a three handle . . . I mean, who would've thunk!
Our immediate-term Risk Ranges for Gold, Oil (Brent), US Dollar, USD/YEN, UST 10yr Yield, VIX, and the SP500 are now $1, $97.31-103.34, $82.55-83.44, 97.45-101.36, 1.70-1.76%, 11.33-14.89, and 1, respectively.

FY2013 guidance raised after a terrific quarter – but not enough.
We don't have a problem with conservative guidance but it doesn't mean we have to adhere. Even through a conservative but realistic lens, $1.35 looks like the right number for FY2013. Interactive is tracking better - much better actually - tax rate and share count are lower, and video poker sales may accelerate. Dare we say that the Double Down acquisition is looking more and more attractive?
A nice run of quarterly announcements and aggressive share repurchases has us still scratching our heads with regards to IGT's valuation. Yes, the stock has done well but so has the market. Stock is trading at under 12x next year's EPS with new orders from Oregon and South Dakota likely to take earnings higher in 2014. Is management really that bad?
We don't think we need Private Equity to get involved to make this stock work but remember that 4 PE firms were interested in WMS per the SEC filings and 1 actually made it to the final round. We would argue that IGT is more interesting from a PE perspective in that, unlike WMS, it actually generates substantial free cash flow.
Here are some takeaways from the earnings release, conference call, and our number crunching:
- Guidance range is conservative. We don't think our assumptions are aggressive. Part of the improvement is the assumption of a lower tax rate – 34% vs. 37%. Part of it is assuming that they can continue to build, albeit at a more measured pace off of a very strong Interactive number. Of course, there's the lower share count base, too.
- It was surprising that IGT said video poker shipments weren't material in light of BYI's comments and the promotions offered on the product, coupled with the fact that they no longer support the old boxes with parts. We think IGT did not procure any large video poker orders THIS quarter…that could mean that BYI's intelligence was bad or that they got some big orders but they won't show up until next quarter. The latter scenario is more probable.
- NA product sales product sales came in a little ahead of our expectations with higher unit sales, partly offset by lower ASPs. We think that their strategy of making a promotional grab at market share was smart given the weak GGR trends we've seen in the market and the fact that there is more capital available in the beginning of the year. The ASP weakness and corresponding margin weakness aren't surprising given the strategy even though the margin impact was more than we expected.
- They shipped 900 more units than we expected (500 more on the replacement front and 400 more on the new & expansion side)
- About 125 more units shipped to Canada than we estimated
- IL was a few hundred lighter than we modeled, some of that can just be timing though
- International product sales were disappointing, but what else is new? Non-box sales were better than we thought though. Last time we spoke with the company they insisted that they would see a lift in the 2H13 for international sales. We remain skeptical. Below is the breakout of international shipments by region:
- Asia: 100
- Australia: 1,100
- Europe: 500
- South Africa: 100
- Mexico: 200
- Latin America: 1,200
- Gaming operations was better than we estimated. The yield declines weren't as severe as we had modeled. We suspect the same is true in the models of the Bears who have been overly negative on yield trends.
- Interactive was better than anyone really modeled. There's not much to add here aside from the company's commentary that growth will likely moderate off of this awesome quarter. We're modeling 35 cents of booking per using in 2H13 and a moderating of the pace of QoQ growth in DAUs
- Bad debt expense: Higher than we expected at $4.1MM, partly contributing to the elevated SG&A

"Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves."
-Queen Victoria
It is seemingly hard to not freak out just a little about the Eurozone's economic, financial, and political woes, often labeled The Eurozone Crisis, especially if you have money at work in the capital markets. In the interconnected global world we live in with a 24/7 news cycle, crises boost air, print, and electronic media revenues, and it's this news flow that also influences investor behaviors. Interestingly enough, the crises throughout Europe have lasted for months and years, far from the limited, "turning point" definition of the word, with the loudest headlines of fear coming from the region's smallest economies.
While this state of developments come as no surprise to even a casual observer, below we'll reinforce numerous points that suggest there's no need to freak out about the future bailout needs from such smaller countries as Cyprus, Portugal, and Slovenia (as they'll be easily covered), and while larger countries like Italy, Spain, and France (in particular) show material systemic risks, we ultimately see the ECB providing a full backstop to keep the Union of uneven economies together at all costs.
A Broken System with Political Resolve
To refresh, we believe the Eurozone is in no better of a structural state today than it was in May 2010 when Greece received its first bailout, with little exception. Yes, the European Commission has crafted a banking system 101, but it's far from encompassing or focused enough to materially erode the sovereign-banking feedback loop on its own.
What continues to lie at the heart of the mismatch is that these uneven economies are joined by one monetary policy, therein preventing any one nation from independently debasing its currency to spur competition, or help inflate its way out of debt, which is further compounded by the ECB 2% inflation target mandate. And even hypothetically if (say way down the line) one monetary policy equitably governed the Eurozone states, you'd still need a fiscal union (say from Brussels or Frankfurt) to oversee the budgets of the member countries to ensure (witnessed magnificently through this crisis) that countries don't overstep their fiscal boundaries.
But here too you run into problems:
- Countries don't want to give up their fiscal sovereignty to a higher order
- There will remain structural imbalances trying to mandate deficit quotas, especially for example with countries that historically run trade deficits and have limited economic breadth to diversify
Yet, despite the structural juxtapositions described above, and while it's not empirical, one cannot rule out the resolve of the ECB and Eurocrats to keep the Union together. It's a belief grounded in their desire for job security, and supported by a belief in trade benefits, freedom of borders, as a force against superpowers like the USA and China, and a post WWII desire for a peaceful collective.
It's Not All So Bad And the Germans Are All-In
At every weak fiscal point in the Eurozone, Troika (the European Commission, ECB, and IMF) has answered the call to throw good money at bad and sweep the fears under the rug. Here we expect more of the same since it's our intention that Eurocrats greatest fear remains a tumble weed effect in which the exit of one country can dissolve the entire union.
From a market perspective, despite a protracted slow growth outlook, it has not paid to sell Eurozone capital markets since Draghi issued his famous OMT put to bail out any nation that requests it in SEPT 2012. We expect the Eurozone will remain grounded on Draghi's word and below are a number of factors that support the view that now is also no time to freak out about this continuing crisis:
- German Checkbooks – it's clear the Eurozone playing field is tilted in Germany's favor via a weaker EUR and easy access to trading partners. Writing bailout checks is a much more profitable exercise than returning to the D-mark.
- ECB Leverage –the Bank has taken down its balance sheet -14% since SEPT 2012 due in part to the repayment of the LTROs, so it has room to lever it up.
- ECB Rate Cut – Draghi has been tight lipped but continues to signal a weak economic outlook. ECB executive board member Joerg Asmussen said this week that he sees more downside risks to a recovery in the Eurozone in the second half of the year, which may be an early indication of a 2H rate cut.
- Still Liquid Credit Markets –Despite political concerns across the region, sovereign yields on the 10YR for Germany, France, and the Netherlands are low at 1.30%, 1.85%, and 1.73%, respectively. As a promising sign, this Wednesday Italy sold €8B of 1YR bills at a yield of 0.92%, down significantly from the 1.28% it paid at the last auction in March. It also sold €3B of three-month bills at 0.24%.
- Cyprus was a One-off Mistake – the deposit levy scheme in Cyprus was a misstep by the Eurocrats, which even Draghi admitted. It will be caged as a one-off and a similar scenario will not be carried out again.
- Italy's Saving Grace, its Deficit – despite a high debt, which this week was revised upward to 130.4% of GDP in 2013 vs 126.1%, and that we're no closer to a coalition government today than we were when elections ended on February 25 (and we suspect new elections will have to be called), the country's deficit should remain below -3% this year which may be one important saving grace in shielding against expedient rises in sovereign yields as politicians wrestle with budget promises.
- Slovenia is a Peanut – certainly the risk signals are "on" with 5YR Slovenia CDS making a new YTD high of 369bps (vs a high of 511bps last summer) and 8YR sovereign yields at 6.36% (off a high of 7%), but the country's economy at €35B (or 0.3% of the Eurozone) is only slightly larger than Cyprus, and nowhere near as levered to banking. If needed, a potential bailout package will likely be less than the figure Cyprus may get. (Interestingly enough, Austria is the country with the most leverage to Slovenia according to Bank for International Settlements data.)
Risks Will Always Remain
IMF Head Lagarde said this week that a three speed global economy has emerged with the Eurozone being the weakest link with lots of distance to travel. It's clear that the Eurozone unemployment rate is ugly at an all-time high of 12% (with youth unemployment reaching 50% in many peripherals), that labor reforms on the country level are a huge uphill battle, that country resources and cultures will influence economic competitiveness, and that austerity's bite is a significant tax on economies, but a necessary one in light of outsized fiscal positions.
These are not light issues, and the political scandals – from the French budget minister lying about a secret untaxed foreign bank account to Spanish PM Rajoy being accused of taking construction kick-backs, or even the head-scratcher that the most corrupt of them all in former Italian PM Berlusconi has a chance of forming a coalition government – compound these economic ails. That said, this "crisis" is being managed by the European Commission, which wants to extend debt and deficit reduction targets for most countries and lengthen bailout loan maturities (likely for Portugal and Ireland) so as to lessen the economic and political stresses.
Taken together we think there's plenty of evidence to support a continued Eurozone capital markets rally and tactically trade the short side on time and price around catalysts; we believe that no country will be leaving the union due to the fear of contagion; and that there is plenty of powder tools to use should they be needed: the OMT, a rate cut, and possibly even the issuance of Eurobonds (which George Soros continues to be a big proponent of). We'd also say that while we don't think the EUR is going away, or going to parity, we do think it carries some additional downside risk against our call for a strengthening US Dollar.
Stay calm and look to the hills for support.
Our immediate-term Risk Ranges for Gold, Oil (Brent), Copper, US Dollar, USD/YEN, USD/EUR, UST10yr Yield, VIX and the SP500 are now $1540-1573, $101.72-106.71, $3.29-3.46, $82.22-83.28, 97.45-100.98, $1.28-1.31, 1.71-1.87%, 11.78-14.51, and 1569-1596, respectively.

GALAXY MACAU PHASES 3 AND 4 TO FOCUS ON PREMIUM MASS Macau Business
Phase 3 and 4 of Galaxy Macau will be principally targeted at premium mass guests. The two phases will span 1 million square metres. The HK$50 billion (US$6.44 billion) to HK$60 billion project will include 5,500 hotel rooms, a multi-purpose 10,000-seat arena, as well as a 1,500-seat multi-purpose showroom, the company said. It will also include a 50,000 square-metre convention centre and gaming capacity of up to 1,000 tables and 3,000 slots.
The plan is to start construction "by the end of 2013/in early 2014". Phase two, with 500 table games, 1,000 slots, and 1,300 hotel rooms are expected to open in mid-2015.
LABOUR SHORTAGE TO WORSEN BY 2016: CHUI Macau Business Daily
Macau CEO Chui said, "The lack of local talents, land plots and the economy's reliance on gaming revenue are the hindrances" the city's development faces. Chui pledged to increase the non-gaming elements in new casino resorts and to put resources into developing other industries. "The economy's reliance on gaming will continue for a long time but this will not prevent [the development of] the non-gaming elements," said Chui.
He pledges there will be "a closer ratio" between the gaming and non-gaming facilities within the new big Cotai casino resorts which are expected to be completed by 2015-16. The official also said the resorts "will need a large number of employees, which will further tighten the number of workers available for the SMEs [small and medium enterprises]." "So when there are not enough resident workers, can we absorb qualified talents from elsewhere… to serve the city and contribute to Macau's economic development?" he questioned. The public should discuss this possibility, he added. "We may not face this problem this year but it will become more conspicuous by 2016," Chui said.
Unemployment rate for January-March 2013 held stable at 1.9% in comparison with the previous period (December 2012-February 2013). Total labor force was 359,000 and the labor force participation rate stood at 71.9%. Total employment reached 352,000, an increase of 1,200 from the previous period.
OVER 114,000 IMPORTED WORKERS IN MARCH Macau Business
The total number of non-resident workers in Macau stood at 114,716 in March. This is a new all-time high, up by 1,440 from February, the previous record. The majority – over 69,000 – came from the mainland.
PROMOTER CONFIRMS MANNY PACQUIAO IS COMING TO MACAU Macau Daily Times
Boxing star Manny Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum revealed that Manny will likely face either Brandon Rios or Mike Alvarado, both US fighters, during November in Macau.
This evening, ADM announced that it had signed a "takeover bid implementation deed" with GrainCorp to acquire the company for A$12.20 per share. Essentially, ADM will be conducting due diligence for a period of one week and at the end of that period, will make the determination as to whether or not to proceed with a bid. ADM has moved its quarterly reporting date to May 1st to accomodate the due dilligence timetable. GrainCorp has announced that any such bid would be unanimously supported by the Board. The total transaction value is A$3.4 billion including the debt at GrainCorp. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, GrainCorp delivered adjusted EBITDA of A$413.9 million and $349.6 million in the year prior – so, approximately 8.2x trailing EV/EBITDA. ADM suggested that the transaction would be "cash accretive" in its first full year (so, EPS dilutive).
Our view is that this transaction makes a great deal of sense within the context of our long-term bullish call on global agricultural processing. We believe that one of the best ways to play the increase in caloric consumption of the emerging middle class in developing markets is through companies such as ADM and BG. ADM and BG are positioned to capitalize on the fundamental geographic mismatch that exists and will continue to grow between where crops are most efficiently produced and where the growth in consumption lies.
Further, we believe that ADM needs to expand beyond its core U.S. operations and the associated ethanol exposure. ADM missed out on Viterra, the largest grain processor in Canada when those assets went to Glencore. GrainCorp is the largest grain processor in Australia, a major wheat producer and exporter, well-positioned to feed the burgeoning middle classes of Asia and the Middle East.
These assets are unique and not easily replicated, if at all. While it is a very capital intensive business, the investment thesis behind ADM and BG is expanding returns over time on a growing asset base.
Bottom line, we are seeing consolidation in global agricultural assets and once the train leaves the station (ability to acquire assets in a particular country), there isn't another one coming along. ADM hopped on a good train with GrainCorp – significant share in an attractive market that is well-positioned to exploit favorable trends in global consumption.

USGS map showing where the earthquake was located
HILO, Hawaii East Hawaii was shaken after 2 p.m. on Tuesday, after a 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Big Island. The United States Geological Survey later upgraded the quake to a magnitude 5.6, before being lowered back to a 5.3.
The USGS centered the earthquake in the Pacific Ocean, 33 miles southeast of Pahala in the southern Kau district.
Emergency officials say no tsunami was generated.
The temblor was felt across Hawaii Island. The quake shook homes in Hilo for a few moments before settling down. The incident sent local users of social media chattering away, describing how and where they felt the quake.
Local tweets
We just experienced a 5.2 magnitude earthquake off the southeast shore of Hawaii Island. No tsunami is expected, http://t.co/Snk9qmy6Ir
Mayor Billy Kenoi (@MayorKenoi) June 5, 2013
Just had a fairly large quake. (Mountain View, HI) Don't know the magnitude but it shook my house pretty good.
Dennis Soares (@elationrecords) June 5, 2013
Did you feel it? Civil Defense says there was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake south of Hawaii island. There is no tsunami threat.

5.2 earthquake on island of Hawaii. Felt it pretty strong here in Waimea!

#Earthquake just hit Hilo area .. stay tuned.. not a biggie, not a small one either.
All Hawaii News (@allhawaiinews) June 5, 2013
This article has been updated to reflect the latest magnitude numbers as determined by USGS scientists
Is the 0bama vault safe? That's the important thing.
According to reliable reports from the island, the original copy of President Obama's birth certificate was irretrievably damaged as a result of the tremors.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Love the Big Island. Was in Kona during the Japanese earthquake and following tsunami Went to Hilo and had an earthquake there. Are the vulcanoes about to be more active?
I was at the Hilo Walmart when it happened. Didn't feel that strong.
Obama's grandma rolling over in her grave.
hey that's right... you just reminded me...
Obama's birth certificate was supposedly locked into a vault by the registrar's office or something...
Since the FRAUDULENT copy they gave out at the press conference is not real, I wonder what actually is in the vault?
Will Obama "sign waivers" to release it?
Doesn't he know you don't need to send a team of lawyers to "sign waivers" in order to get a copy of your own birth certificate?
What kind of "waivers" did they have to sign? Can we see those waivers?
0's vault is probably very similar to Capone's vault. Let's ask Jerry Rivers to get right on this.
That said, I had just changed the water filter for the refrigerator when my wife said we just had an earthquake. I felt not a thing, heard nothing. Then a few minutes later heard the rumbling of another one, a 2.7 down at Kilauea. Just life on a volcano......
It is good to live on a pile of solid lava rock, the shock just passes through with little to no shaking, unlike those areas of loose soil.
Amazing. A quake occurs in Hawaii and all we're concerned about is zero's BC.
So, seriously, what about Obama's Kenyan birth certificate?
She's graveless. Zero burned and tossed her over a cliff.
Freeper thoughts usually lead to Hussein quite understandably. We've gotta take the country back.
I wish his favorite golf courses would sink into the ocean.
Who cares? Hawaii is Hawaii just like NYC is considered NY State by outsiders.
We guys do. Two, Hawaii, and that other one.
I must admit my first thought was if his new digs in Hawaii were safe. I cringed at taxpayers having to pay to fix it.
It is sad that a beautiful place such as Hawaii is associated with Obama who has such an ugly heart.
His support here is not as absolute as so many presume.
Of course -- I used to watch Magnum PI & Hawaii Five-0 all the time.
Tongue in cheek, he speaks..........
Only fair Oahu had all the action, more than 70% of the state lives there, most in Honolulu. I hate cities and was so happy to leave that island. I like being in a backwater in the tropics............
"You gys do know ther is more than one island to the state of Hawaii?"
Yes, hundreds of islands.
Being from California, I have been through many earthquakes. There the quakes were of the rolling, shaking kind....that seemed to last a long time. This quake today was completely different. It was very sharp and jolted the whole house, but it did not last longer than about 5 seconds, there was no rolling and no aftershock.
No damage inside the house...things knocked off shelves or things like that.
I'm glad you're okay. You'll be having the house structure examined nevertheless?
he came over on vacation 6 weeks after she died and threw her ashes in the "the blowhole", at a highway pullover stop
same place he tossed his mother's ashes
of course now every vacation he goes back there and says little prayer at "the blowhole"... sarc
seems like it was a shallow quake, unlike the very very deep quakes that are tearing the earth apart under the north and south and east pacific
We own 2 acres in Hawaiian Paradise Park and about 7 years ago was planning on building on it and moving there. Long story why it didn't happen but I am always regretting that it didn't.
Island must've tilted when obese Americans made a run for the buffet table.

Rachael Ray Tex-Mex Buttermilk Chicken Tenders and Corn on the Cob
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
Juice of 2 limes and 2 teaspoons grated peel, plus wedges for serving
2 cups buttermilk
2 1/2 cups flour
2 pounds chicken tenders
Salt and pepper
4 ears corn
Hot pepper sauce, for passing at the table
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning and lime peel. In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk and half of the spice mixture. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour and the remaining spice mixture. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the corn and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, then dress with the lime juice.
While the corn is working, using tongs, dip the chicken fingers in the buttermilk, then coat with the flour; repeat for a second coating. Working in batches, add the chicken fingers to the skillet and cook until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a rack.
Pass the hot sauce at the table for drizzling on the corn. Serve with the chicken fingers and extra lime wedges.

Make lunchtime a fun time with these easy summer lunches!
Easy Summer Lunches
by Susan Sundwall

The Frugal Summer Lunch Program
Inexpensive Meals Kids Love End Lunch Time Lunacy |
When my daughter-in-law asked me where I got the cute sectioned trays for the kids' lunch, I smiled. I'd saved them from some kids' TV dinners I'd bought with a coupon. That day two of my grandchildren were staying for lunch, and we were going to play cafeteria. It's part of my healthy can be fun agenda for helping them explore the variety and yumminess of good food. Try one of the following easy summer lunches to thrill and delight your own young diners.
Arrange your table so kids can walk all the way around. Roll up a fork and spoon in a napkin. As each child enters the "cafeteria," give him/her a tray or paper plate along with the rolled napkin. Line up your food items, along with serving utensils, on each side of the table. Kids walk around the table to pick their favorite items or you can play the roll of cafeteria worker. Here are some suggestions:
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cut into fingers
- American cheese chunks on toothpicks
- Celery bites filled with peanut butter or cream cheese
- Pretzel sticks
- Assorted crackers
- Cherry tomatoes and ham chunks on skewers
- Yogurt in small paper cups
- Egg salad on toast triangles
- Granola bars, cut into thirds
- Juice or milk
Allow kids to eat in another room on snack trays or outdoors. Use one end of the table for dessert, but with a twist. Whatever I'm serving (let's say oatmeal cookies), I put them in a basket and cover with a dishtowel. To get dessert, the child must show a clean plate to the cafeteria lady (that's you). No peeking allowed! The element of mystery is usually enough to get the last bite of lunch down.
Lunch in Space
They'll love experimenting with tastes and textures by concocting one of these "out of this world" lunches.
- Martian Mud - Place one cup of peanut butter in a bowl and thin with one tablespoon of milk, stirring until smooth. Place jelly, plain popcorn, celery bites, pretzels, dry roasted peanuts, raisins or dried cranberries in bowls of varying sizes. Arrange in planetary formation around the bowl of peanut butter. Provide bread or crackers as a base and then urge kids to use their imaginations with toppings.
- Lunar Baloney - Using a round cookie cutter, cut circles out of cheese squares and white bread. Cut smaller circles out of baloney. Make "craters" with the baloney on the cheese rounds. Dot with mustard or mayonnaise from squirt bottles.
- It Came from Planet Pluto - This one requires a plain cheese pizza and kids' gross imagination. It's also a great way to use up leftovers. Before you bake your frozen pizza, let the kids design an alien face, using food items like cottage cheese, gummy worms, raisins, tuna, pepperoni, corn flakes or anything else they'd be willing to taste once it's out of the oven.
- Houston, We Have a Taco - Cut open a lunch sized bag of corn chips on one end lengthwise. Empty chips into a bowl. Layer shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and seasoned ground beef into the bag. Top with corn chips and cheese. Serve with plastic fork and salsa on the side.
- Swamp Sludge - Chocolate or strawberry milk with a lime green straw.
Fruit Frolic
Kids need fruit for good nutrition. So, once in a while, make it an all fruit lunch. Here are some ways to do it.
- Whip up fruit cocktail sundaes using parfait glasses or clear plastic cups. Layer the fruit with some crunchy granola and then add whipped topping and a strawberry or pineapple spear for garnish.
- Pare then slice several varieties of apples into wedges. Color plain sugar with food coloring using one drop per 1/2 cup of sugar and shake in a jar to mix. Make several colors and place a tablespoon of each color on each child's plate. Instruct them to "rake" the sugar with their fork, making cool patterns to dip their apples in.
- Cut pears, apples, bananas, oranges and kiwi into chunks. Let the kids use bamboo skewers to make kabobs. Provide vanilla yogurt in small paper cups and show how to dip the fruit at the end of the skewer from yogurt to mouth. Push the next piece of fruit to the end of the skewer to dip again.
Think of these easy summer lunches< as learning opportunities, too. Returning to school looms large at the end of August and cafeteria etiquette needs to be remembered. Learning about the solar system is way better when you're eating lunar baloney. And what's a cooler way to experience the nutritional value of fruit than by adding a touch of raked sugar? All of these easy summer lunches can be made economically, using what you most likely have on hand. You'll also need is some eager kids, and that's the easy part!

The myth that cats have nine lives didn't start with a veterinarian. That's because we know better.
Like our counterparts in human medicine, we see every possible way a patient can get sick or be injured, and after a while we could perhaps be excused from sometimes thinking every animal has something wrong. That's part of the reason why we so love to see our patients for wellness checks: It's a thrill to see a happy, healthy pet, and we love being able to use our expertise to keep them that way.
Prevention Is Key
But veterinarians also see a lot of preventable problems in pets. In cats, many of these problems could be prevented by not letting a pet roam. Every time I write that, I get disagreement in the comments, but it's absolutely true: Your cat is in danger of getting lost, hit by a car or even eaten by a coyote if allowed to go where he chooses.
But that doesn't mean your cat is perfectly safe indoors, either. I don't want to raise alarm, but I do want to raise awareness of some of the completely preventable ways that a pet owner can injure or even kill a cat.
Outdoor Dangers
Running over your own cat. Sometimes your cat may take shelter under your car, other times your cat may run to your car to greet you when you come home. Either way, check under your car before you get in, and be aware that your cat — or a neighbor's free-roaming cat — might suddenly turn up when you come home.
Starting your car with your cat inside the engine. When it's cold, cats seek out warm spots. One of those could be a car engine after the vehicle has been parked. Prevention is easy: Whenever you go to start a car, thump on the hood. If a cat is in the engine, he'll usually take off.

Feb. 11 - On Monday, I started and failed a fruit cleanse. At least it started really well with these smoothies.
Feb. 12 - My flowers started to wilt, but thanks to a very nice boyfriend and a very nice boss I got new ones to replace them on Valentine's Day!
Feb. 13 - Those Girl Scouts are back! This tray is already gone.
Feb. 14 - Valentine's Day! Dingo got all dressed up for the special day.
Feb. 15 - Heart-shaped ice courtesy of Ikea.
Feb. 16 - Took the Dingo on her first camping trip! When it got down to 25˚ last night, she didn't hate her jacket as much as she normally does.
And we got to use our new 4-season tent (only the second time so far).
Feb. 17 - Spent most of the day hiking through Garden of the Gods outside of Colorado Springs.
Then, before heading back to Boulder, we drove up Pikes Peak Highway (to mile 14 of 19, where the road was closed). We'll have to go back this summer to get all the way to the summit, or maybe climb it.

The question is raised what is truth? The Actress asks, "Did you do it?" A question to which Lizzie does not - or cannot - respond. Emma asks her regularly, a litany each day. "Did you - did you - did you?" And Lizzie is again mute. Throughout the play there are more questions raised than answered. The audience would expect empirical evidence, and the play produces the Defense attorney who questions the suspect and her maid. But their authenticity, their authority are in question because the events are being recounted by Lizzie. By presenting the evidence of the case through the memory of the accused, there is no certainty that the events portrayed are real or are figments of Lizzie's imagination.
Although it is based on an actual event, Pollock goes beyond the historical facts to delve into the mind and motivation of her central character. While...

Sabyasachi closed the third edition of PCJ Delhi Couture Week with his New Moon collection inspired by five cities of the world- New York, Kolkata, Berlin, Paris and Barcelona. Sridevi, who is all set for a comeback with English Vinglish, walked the ramp for the designer in an elegant white sari.
Shabana Azmi, Boney Kapoor and Ritu Kumar cheered the designer from the front row.
Sridevi: Star of the night
"It's my pleasure. It's an outstanding show. It's unbelievable. His work is very intricate. It's beautiful," said the Hawa-Hawai star.
Designer Sabyasachi is totally smitten by the actress. "For me and my sister it's a special day. We are her biggest fans. I still remember we used to lie to our father and bunk school to see her movies. Every single film of hers I have watched many many times."
Sabya, as he is fondly called, has also designed costumes for Sridevi in her upcoming film. "I bullied Gauri who is the director. When I heard Sridevi is in the film, I was like I have to do her clothes."
Sridevi set for comeback
Why did Sridevi decide to make her comeback with this film? "It was not a conscious decision at all. I just loved the script. Thanks to Gauri for having me in this film. It was a really great experience working with both of them," she said.
"I am not nervous at all. I'm very excited. I hope all my hard work pays off," she added.
Director Gauri Shinde, who also walked the ramp with Sridevi, talked about her debut film: "She's the central character. It's about a woman who doesn't know English, which is a big deal in our country. She's stunning in the film."
Sabyasachi, who claims to be Sridevi's biggest fan, couldn't hide his thrill. "When I first saw Sadma, I thought this lady should never ever leave films. I'm probably the most happiest that she is back."
More on the collection
Sabya's collection comprised skirts, shirts, blouses, saris, lehengas, anarkalis incorporated with threadwork, embroidery, boutis, zardozi work, kantha work and block printing. The designer used fabrics like khadi, tulle, velvet, silk and tweed. There were sherwanis, kurtas, shawls and safas, for the men too.
"It was about retro glamour. The collection takes inspiration from 20's to 40's. I have also taken inspiration from the cities I have travelled to like Barcelona, London, Paris, Kolkata, Berlin. It was a tale of five cities."
"The collection is modernised. It's not an ethnic collection but a global collection. That's why we call it New Moon, because it's a kind of a new development for the brand," he added.
The ramp had a very country-like feel to it - you could see deer heads, paintings, lamp shades, glass cabinets with crockery. "I wanted to put a theatrical set. It is inspired by hunting lodges in the Alps. You would see houses like these in Shimla, Darjeeling, Mussourie."
With this, PCJ DCW (August 8-12) came to an end!

text: European Union economies have shed almost six million jobs since the global economic crisis struck in 2008, the International Labour Organisation said Monday. In a report on the European labour market, the UN agency said the employment rate across the 27-nation EU stood at 57.6 percent in 2012, down 1.6 percentage points on 2008. \"This means that there is still a deficit of 5.9 million jobs to restore employment rates to their pre-crisis levels,\" the ILO said. A million jobs have been lost in the past six months alone, it noted. It underlined that despite some signs of labour market recovery that started to materialise in 2010, only five EU members -- Austria, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg and Malta -- have employment rates above pre-crisis levels. Countries such as Cyprus, Greece, Portugal and Spain have seen a steady decline in employment rates of more than three percentage points. As of February, official unemployment stood at 26.3 million in Europe, or 10.2 million more than in 2008, the ILO said. \"Importantly, while the deterioration of employment paused during 2010-2011, it has gained momentum over the past year,\" it noted. Average unemployment in the EU has reached 10.9 percent -- with double digit rates in some of the most crisis-afflicted countries -- and a record of 12 percent in the 17-nation eurozone. Young and unskilled workers have been the hardest hit, with youth unemployment across the EU at 23.5 percent and stark rates of 58 percent in Greece and 55 percent in Spain. Companies have increasingly turned to part-time and temporary contracts meanwhile, underscoring the bleak outlook, the ILO said. \"The above trends suggest that is necessary to move to a job-friendly strategy. Much of the emphasis so far has been on reducing budget deficits and restoring external competitiveness through \'internal devaluations\',\" it said. \"While fiscal and competitiveness goals are important, it is crucial not to tackle them through ill-conceived austerity measures and structural reforms that do not address the root causes of the crisis,\" it added. The ILO said that more measures were needed to resolve systemic problems in the financial sector and to unlock credit for small firms. \"More and more countries face downward pressures on wages and employment, thereby affecting domestic consumption and investment and eroding intra-EU trade,\" it warned.

Card for Drew's mom! This is the first time I've ever done anything for Mother's Day: my folks didn't want any truck with fake holidays invented by the greeting card industry. (My parents are pretty hilarious.)
Fan art for C.F's Powr Mastrs. I haven't done any real fan art since I submitted a Maison Ikkoku-inspired piece to Animerica when I was 12. This pic also satisfied an even earlier, more primal urge to draw princess dresses. For the Picturebox Fan Forum.
Check out this mural my pal David Mack and I did at Honey's Salon. The two of us have done some murals together before but this time it was an actual job (we are getting paid in Haircuts For Life.)
We had such a good time doing this that David and I are starting a Mural Painting Business. You should probably hire us to paint you a mural. Email me.
Thanks to Jo for asking us, and blithely letting us do whatever we wanted. She is pretty much the greatest.
