East Lansing, Mich., July 31.—Fear that present weather conditions, which are declared to be unusually suited to the propagation^ the codling moth, will cause .an outbreak of this pest in August has led horticultural authorities at the college to =issue a; warning ■ to orchard owners to "take precautions. The" codling moth attacks apples, and it is predicted that if farmers do not adopt preventive measures while there is yet time, damage from- this source may be. as great as- that-caused by the army worm. :. - - '" This prediction, coming'from college experts who are given to caution and conservatism, is carrying more than ordinary weight, for Prof. Rufus i±. Pettit, of M. A. C.fa year ago predicted the army worm, invasion. Several thousand bulletins, carrying warnings to the fanners, are being Sent out. They, recommend that the following sprays be used: •* "Add 2}4 to 3 pounds of arsenate of lead paste, or \% "to lyi pounds of arsenate of lead powder, to'every 50 gal- Ions of dilute lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture." It is necessary that this spraying be done with great thoroughness, so that the fruits and foliage will ,be covered with the poison.

1: favorite old hollywood actor I know its a typical answer for old hollywood fans but mine truely is Cary Grant. He just embodies what the golden era of hollywood was all about.
5: most overrated old hollywood actor/actress - Definitely Marilyn Monroe. Now i say this but i need to explain. I think she is overrated in popular media. Now I love her acting and think she was a great beauty and a wonderful actress but i hate how people act like they love her and they have never seen any of her movies. Like my old roommate had posters of her and once I asked her what was her fav marilyn movie and her respond was "I've never seen any, i just like her as a person"…..
7: most handsome old hollywood actor Well i assume yall can guess this answer due to the first answered question. but I will give you my top 5. in order: Cary Grant, Gene Kelly, Rock Hudson, Montgomery Clift ,and Frank Sinatra

Remembering Il Grande Torino
Earlier this month the great Italian football club Torino celebrated it's 105th founding anniversary. A time maybe to reflect on the tragedy that beset the club in 1949 when one of the greatest teams in world football was wiped out following an air crash. Nicknamed Il Grande Torino the team swept all before them, winning five consecutive Italian league titles from 1943 to 1949 and at times contributed up to 10 players to the Italian national team. They set many important Italian football records most of which still stand to this day.
Tragic. =o/

The Star Trek Movie Franchise Is Headed Backwards (VIAB)
Believe me when I say that this article and title is right on the money. While both Trek movies from 2009 combined made over a billion dollars, I believe Paramount is not thinking long-term enough. Fine, the new director Robert Orci has written a boatload of tv shows and some great movies as well as serving as either producer or executive producer. Star Trek 3 will be his first outing at least that is what I found on IMDB. I'm not so keen about this idea because this is not the normal course of action to hire directors especially on big movies like Trek.
On the Fly II with Eric Stoltz, makeup artist/sfx Chris Walas from the first movie became the director of the sequel. Sadly, anyone following David Cronenberg's work has a hard act to follow regardless. Walas taking over the reigns for the Fly 2, while it had some good moments, failed to rival or even come close to the first. Let's move to Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation which was headed by Phil Tippet. Star Wars fans and other great visual f/x movies will know that Phil's great talent is making great visual f/x. Trying to follow the very skilful job that Paul Verhooven did in the first Starship Troopers was next to impossible much like the same problem Walas had. The budget was smaller to fit a smaller story and except for nudity to keep me awake there was very little to watch. I love Phil and will always have a place in my heart as he played the Rancor monster in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Another example is Frank Marshall. He has been a phenomenal producer and executive producer. One could almost watch any Spielberg movie and see Frank's name. He had also turned to directing and has had some modest success. His first movie was Arachnophobia but I believe his better movie was Alive which was based on the plane crash in the Andes Mountain. However, Congo adapted from Michael Crichton's book of the same name is sadly forgettable. All these examples are to help illustrate that hiring Robert Orci maybe a mistake given the track records of those I mentioned. However, let us look forward to a future where Paramount can be happy with the future of Star Trek.
Taking a cue from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Paramount needs to re-establish the Star Trek Universe (STU). Let's start with mentioning the original series (TOS) that started the franchise. We then get three Star Trek movies one of the best Trek movie of all times. Star Trek gets back to tv with The Next Generation (TNG). Trek 4 makes a big splash with Nimoy taking the director's chair and making this a more accessible film for non Trek fans. Trek 5 is nearly killed by Shatner's hand but 6 makes up the last movie for the original cast and ends their run on a high note. TNG then takes over with their turn on the big screen: Generations and First Contact (their best movie by Frakes). Luckily another Trek series on tv comes into play Deep Space Nine (DS9). TNG fires back on the screen with Insurrection also directed by Frakes but lacks any real bite like First Contact. Star Trek launches Voyager (VOY) on the small screen. TNG makes one last movie Nemesis (worst ever). The last Trek series is called Enterprise (ENT). And then the two movies by JJ Abrams. Got that? Moving on.
Why did I go through all that? To showcase my Trek nerd cred… sh'yeah. More importantly, where do we go with STU? Abrams movie gave us a rebooted Trek universe that can allow us to do anything or do it all over again. Let's do some creative planning and make this next movie a launch for bigger things. I believe the time is right for another Trek series on tv. Last year, there were rumors of two series in the vein of CSI. UHM, OK? But I would rather see 5 year missions or show how TNG, DS9, or VOY might fare in this alternate Trek history Maybe we get a Picard with hair? A female Data? Or nasty Ferengis as was once visioned by Roddenberry? Think of the possibilities for use fans and for the fans of the future. In between, lace these series with movies on the big screen and empire for Paramount can rise though not as mightly as MCU but still better than the Spiderman franchise over at Sony. Now is the time to plan big.
Paramount Pictures is taking a huge risk naming screenwriter Roberto Orci to direct the next film in the Star Trek movie franchise, Fool contributor Tim Beyers says in the the following video.
According to an exclusive report in Variety last week, Orci, whose screenwriting credits include work on Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, will team with J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay to write the threequel. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are expected to reprise their roles as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.
Good news, right? If only it were that simple. Instead, history shows the franchise is suffering decelerating returns. According to The-Numbers.com, Star Trek earned a combined $578.6 million including box office, DVD, and Blu-ray revenue. Star Trek Into Darkness earned $540.4 million on the same basis. Orci is taking on a turnaround story.

Star Trek Kahn Graphic Novel Review
One of the many ear worms that plague me through out the day, this ear worm for this post would be from the Disney film Frozen 'Let It Go." One part of the lyrics speaks to me, "Let it go, let it go, Turn away and slam the door," and this is what I need to do but after this blog entry. I have given up trying to be pleased by a movie that never achieved the greatness that I expected from it. I am done beating a dead horse on the Kahn issue but for one last time, I had to understand where the writers where trying to go with this new Kahn.
This story beginning at the end of the movie – sort of. We see the proceedings of a trial to arraign Khan. As the trial begins, there is a Trek easter egg of a character from the original series that is very comfortable in a court setting. I'm not going to tell you who this person is as I just wanted to mention this little tidbit. Believe me, this nu-Trek has a lot to answer for but this little tip of the hat was a good ice breaker. But then we get this shocker.
Ok, now you have my interest. Now, you are telling me something that I wanted to know. Why is the Kahn from Into Darkness different from the Kahn from the original series Star Trek II. The next series of panels pushes the camera on the nu-Kahn to a close up and then to black. Nu-Kahn begins to tell the story through flashbacks on his rise to power and the Eugenics war. This was the hook to get me to read the rest of the stories in this graphic novel. But I was more concerned with the question at hand, "Why were there two different looking Kahn-s?" As with all good stories, you make the reader wait for it. As the story unfolds, we see Kahn and his fellow co-horts boarding the Botany Bay and leaving from Australia. Nice touch!!!
Going back to the movie Into Darkness, we are told the Admiral Marcus and nu-Kahn had met prior to the Enterprise encounter in the movie. In the graphic novel, we get a couple of scenes where a Federation ship finds the Botany Bay and brings it the secret facility. Marcus does several voice overs on the panels, "We figured out who you were soon enough, event with the scarce records of your time. We knew that waking you up as you were would be a huge mistake." So, if Marcus came to that conclusion, don't you think the in the original series episode, "Space Seed," Kirk would have come to the same conclusion? Argue among yourselves and see if I am right.
However, Marcus did not heed his own warning. He decided to use Khan to his advantage and took it a step further. Marcus ordered to have most of Kahn's memory wiped and have "laser" facial rec-Khan-struction. BLAM!!! We get not Kahn but John Harrison aka nu-Kahn. Ok…I um… ok….. no… not ok. This is a hard pill to swallow but fine; I'll go with it.
Nu-Kahn helps out Marcus with his superior knowledge but not knowing who he truly is until he starts getting flashbacks to his earlier life on Earth. From there, things go down hill for the Admiral and then us, the audience, that had to see Into Darkness. The nu-Kahn-clusion at the end of the book is the same as what happened in the movie; nu-Kahn goes to sleep. So, I take it that at the end of the movie, nu-Khan was put to sleep and then gets awakened in the graphic novel to have a trial, to tell his story but is found guilty, and then gets back to sleep in the same chamber as before. In this context, the ending in the graphic novel fails to satisfy the reader especially since this was already done in the movie. Think of the Richard Donner's Superman II ending that did the same thing from the first Superman movie.
However, once more, if…. and I do mean if…. this graphic novel is placed after Kirk was "resurrected" in the film and then nu-Kahn was brought to trail, did his backstory and found guilty…again, and then put to sleep in his chamber, I would have been… ok with Into Darkness as a film. At least the missing gap as to why the nu-Kahn looks nothing like the old Kahn is explained and the ending, will not perfect, will allow nu-Kahn to be resurrected in the future.
And on that note, I will, "Let it go, let it go, Turn away and slam the door." I'm done.
Where In The World Is Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? Conspiracy Theorists Take To The Internet | Fast Company | Business + Innovation
Let me begin with this note up front. This entry is in no way to make light of this terrible situation. The goal of this blog is to point out how art imitates life and vice versa. Many times, I get in awe of scientific concepts on scifi shows and when times catches up to make those concepts a reality, I am blown away. So, going back to the Malaysian Airlines flight 370, this brings up scifi themed movies and shows that brings up the point, "Can a plane simply disappear?"
Remember Amelia Earhart? Her famous journey to fly solo around the world and still to this day, neither she nor her plane have been ever recovered. Yet, science fiction leads up to believe that on Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 1 "37" Amelia Earhart was found in a cryo-stasis by the Voyager crew. So how did Amelia appear on the almost opposite side of the galaxy? Alien abduction.
Another plane related tv series was Lost. This series finds survivors of a plane crash on a remote island filled with secrets. After 6 seasons of episodes, not all the questions posed were answered but did not diminish this great show.
Let's not forget the tv mini series called The Langoliers created by Stephen King. A red eye flight from Boston to LA, a handful of passengers wake up to find everyone else missing including the crew.
In the late eighties, there was a movie called Millennium not to be confused by the tv series by Chris Carter (X-Files). This movie dealt with humans from the future replacing all the humans moments before a plane crash with fake replacements. These future humans were trying to save humanity by bringing people from the past, who were going to die, to the future where they would live out their lives.
Now, go back farther to a little know Airport movie. This really started the whole disaster movie genre like Earthquake, The Poseidon Adventure, and The Towering Inferno. Like with all disaster movies, we were treated to an all star casts but unless you grew up in the late 60's/70's you will not know many of the stars. However, the success of this movie gave us: Airport 75, Airport 77, and Airport 79. If you want to know the premise of 75, watch Airplane. 77 shows us a plane crashing into the ocean in the Bermuda Triangle. 79 dealt with the no longer running Concorde – the plane that could travel twice the speed of sound.
Last but not least, one of the few books, an actual books not comic books, that I read as a kid was called The Ghost of Flight 401. This story was based on the real plane crash of Flight 401 which met its demise in the Florida Everglades near Miami. From the few details I remember, this book was more about ghost sightings of the deceased crew members appear on other flights. I could be wrong but the connection with the sightings were due to the salvage pieces from Flight 401 being put into other planes. Creepy yes but reading this stuff was truly fascinating.
Let's all hope, from the searchers involved to the family/friends of those on board the Malaysian Airlines flight 370, that they are all able to have closure soon.
Details concerning the sudden, Saturday disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 continue to trickle in. Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, the head of Malaysia's Civil Aviation Authority, said the missing Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers presents an "unprecedented mystery."
Here's what we do know: The flight disappeared on Friday night/Saturday morning en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The plane was at cruising altitude (35,000 feet) and weather was more or less clear. Air traffic controllers in Vietnam say contact with the crew disappeared about 120 nautical miles east of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu, and radar signals suggest the plane may have turned around before losing contact.

The rumor about Wonder Woman's movie debut will make your head explode
Normally, I would write my comments before the article I found online to post on my blog. Today, I want you to read a quick blurb and then I'll comment.
Well. If this recently surfaced rumor is true, then Wonder Woman is about to get a verrrrry interesting new origin for Batman Vs. Superman. It's after the jump; try not to be drinking anything when you read them, because you're pretty much guaranteed a spit take.
Batman-on-Film.com — which, to be fair, has a pretty damned good track record when it comes to DC movies — claims the following in regards to Gal Gadot's role as WW in the move:
Personally, I'd say it'll be about on par with Scarlett Johansson's first appearance as Black Widow in IRON MAN 2. I believe that it's a cameo-plus type of role that will (hopefully) serve as a springboard to a solo Wonder Woman movie.
With all that said, I'd bet a year's pay – in MONOPOLY money, of course – that the "Amazons" of this cinematic DCU will be descendants of those "ancient Kryptonians" who attempted to set up Kryptonian outposts throughout spacedom thousands and thousands of years ago.
via The rumor about Wonder Woman's movie debut will make your head explode.
Okay, now my turn. There are things about the comic book universe that works well in one medium but fails to make the transition to another medium. Let's look at the first X-Men movie in which no character was in a full costume as seen in the comic books. Yes, Magneto and the X-Men team did wear outfits but their suits were more in keeping with a reality check. Hell, Wolverine point out about not wearing the yellow spandex which made perfect and logical sense.
I am all in favor of tweaking origin stories. Tim Burton's Batman had the pre-Joker kill off Bruce Wayne's parents. Not much an issue here although the thug was Joe Chill which Nolan corrected in his version of Batman. Still in both cases, Bruce does become The Batman. In the case of Wonder Woman, changing the origin to make her from Amazonian to Kryptonian is just plain wrong. Can't we not accept Wonder Woman was created and is a living god or in the case of her re-launched comics a demi-god. That little change in the current comics doesn't take away from the magical qualities of her. If Marvel can have Thor why can't we just have Wonder Woman the way she has always been? Hell, Lynda Carter's WW series had her powers tied to her belt but this never lessened the appeal of the character.
If the plan is to make WW Kryptonian, does this add another dimension to the character? I think not. Think about the gender swapping of Starbuck from the old show to the new one. The dynamic of a female Starbuck has a lot of the original male version but in a female lead she is totally kick ass with a no taking shit attitude. Or having the new Spock be a bit more emotional in the reboot than the past, I'm ok with this. The Kryptonian idea does nothing for Wonder Woman. Change the costume; I don't care but if this is the road we are heading for a Justice League movie, we are seriously fucked.
City councilman pens resignation letter in Klingon | Crave – CNET
To live and breathe scifi in your life is a bit of a challenge. There are some people who get you 100%. There are some people who get you part of the time and those last bits of humanity look at you as if you "Men SoSlI' targh Daghaj nga'chuq." Of course, it does loses some of its poetic imagery in the translation but I love this guy! I am this guy and I applaud him for his efforts. All I can say is, "laH QujmeH tIn tlhIngan moQ suck 'ej HeghDI' SoH Suq sucking, jIDoy'be' 'oH suck 'op vI'Iprup Hoch." You get the idea even if you don't understand.
It takes a special kind of politician to end his term by signing a resignation letter "chaq DaHjaj QaQ jaj paj. " Thats "maybe today is a good day to resign." In Klingon.
David Waddell, a city councilman for Indian Trail, N.C., decided to send his resignation letter to Mayor Michael Alvarez written in Klingon as an inside joke. "Folks dont know what to think of me half the time," Waddell told The Charlotte Observer. "So I might as well have one last laugh.
The politician used the Klingon translator on Bing.com in case the mayor wasn't fluent in the well-known "Star Trek" language. In fact, Waddell didn't just write his resignation using standard Klingon, he chose the beautiful, pointy-looking written Klingon language of Kronos.

This Netflix employee just raised the bar for awesome customer service screenshot | VentureBeat
There are times like this where one true geekiness just spills out into the real world. Some people will get your references and others will just scratch their heads and just look at you as if you're speaking another language. Still, when those encounters occur, we need to savor those moment and I can't think of a better example than this. I am going to cut to the chase and post the Netflix customer service screenchat pic. This speaks to me deeply. Kudos, Netflix, kudos.
Usually conversations with customer service representatives are pretty bland, or even painful if you're trying to resolve a problem. As it turns out, this isn't always true when dealing with Netflix.Yesterday Netflix subscriber Norm contacted the company about a problem he was having with an episode of Parks and Rec. In the middle of the episode, the video player would get stuck in a "temporal loop" that continuously played the last three seconds — sort of like an unintentional YTMND page. Netflix service rep Michael responded by introducing himself as "Captain Mike of the good ship Netflix" and then asked which member of the crew he was speaking with. "Lieutenant" Norm took the bait, responding as if he was a ranking Star Fleet officer from Star Trek.

Moviepilot Exclusive Interview: Bob Orci Reflects On 'Star Trek Into Darkness' | Moviepilot: New Stories for Upcoming Movies
Star Trek Into Darkness is still a thorny issue after all these months. As the article goes on, the minority of those who saw this movie were not pleased were a great deal of Star Trek fans. Just because the majority of the people who saw Into Darkness gave it high marks doesn't make this Trek movie the best of the bunch. I've been wanting and still plan on doing a Trek podcast because this is a very sore subject and I need to purge all this negativity to move on. Yes, I can hold a grudge on many things but I want to have some closure to move on this issue very soon.
I had shown the movie on dvd to my wife and kids and for the most part, they liked the movie. My son, 7, thought the movie was cool while my daughter, 12, liked the movie because of Benedict and that she loves him as Sherlock Holmes. My wife, who is a huge Trek fan, told me that the movie was forgivable except certain moments which were unforgivable as this movie treaded on certain iconic Trek movie moments and treated them poorly. As you can see, using this example, my family overall liked the movie like the general public but like the minority, Trek fans like my wife still had a problem with this second movie from J.J. Abrams.
Star Trek has had plenty of horrific episodes and movies that make me cringe thinking about or shall be named. This happens regardless of any tv series or movie. Still, I think I am more upset with Into Darkness because the bar was set so high with the reboot in 2009 lens flares in all. Trek fans were short-changed and refused to accept this movies as a quality Trek movie. If you are reading this and still don't get it, you're probably not a Star Trek fan.
Star Trek Into Darkness is a weird movie. The sequel wasn't a summer smash, but audiences and critics were fans. The movie received an 87% on Rottentomatoes, a high cinemascore, and a respectable box-office take. But, if you ask plenty Trek fans, it's no critical darling. The movie was recently named the worst Trek film at a Trek convention, and while I'm not exactly a fan of Into Darkness, to claim it's at the bottom of the Trek barrel is flat out silliness.

What are you dressing up for Halloween?
Being bald has limited Halloween costume options. I would be Professor X or Captain Picard or Captain Sisko or Riddick; though I won't be doing the last one as the last movie really just sucked ass. More to the point, there are some characters I can do for Halloween but I would like the option for more people to play. Now, moving forward, I have decided on doing Nero from the 2009 Star Trek movie; you know the good one. Aside from the bald look, I was wondering how I could create this effect and in what medium that was comfortable and easy.
As I did the research, here are the two options I found. The one on the left is a skull-cap which makes this kid look like a Tholian. Second, the markings on the cap needs to be brought down further on the head. The looks nothing like Nero let alone a Romulan from the movie. The picture on the right has the better approach. The mask looks better and the markings on the head looks more like the character. However, I don't want to be wearing a mask all day and especially at work. I needed a third option.

May 4th - I was, to put it bluntly, shagged out. I slept well, and there was nothing wrong with my legs or body, but my eyes were sore and I felt weary. Not the usual post-ride dehydration, though, so the new gels I was using must be working. The day after a century ride I normally feel hungover. Today, just jaded.
I nipped up to the new Farmers Market at Chasewater, and was pleasantly surprised; after the disaster of the Innovation Centre-organised Christmas Fayre with 4 stalls, this commercially organised event was busy, even at my late hour. It wasn't huge, but there was some interesting stuff to buy, and I spent fifteen quid on various bits and pieces.
Only one snag - no real produce stalls: if this was a Farmers Market, the farmers didn't know: I hope this can be rectified for future events - we have Big Tasties locally for meat, bakers and cheese-mongers, so lets hope they take a stall; if they do, tis market will be banging in no time at all.
I was taken with the basket hack on a bike I spotted locked nearby; serious thought has gone into that. Bit more needs to go into the locking technique, though…

Bootable ISO
Hey guys,
So my laptop hard drive appeared to fail last weekend, a problem I believe do to a bad lenovo motion sensor driver. Nevertheless I've been told to make a bootable iso DVD disk. My main problem is that I don't have the install disk/information. I am running 7 Ultimate, and was wondering if there is a protocol I should follow when making a bootable iso?
Also just so my understanding is clear, in the case that the OS becomes corrupted on the hard drive, the bootable disk enables me to run the OS from the disk and access the hard drive right?
|My System Specs
|12 Apr 2010
Win7 x 6 PC's
First I would run the full diagnostics/repair CD scan from the HD maker: Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.
If you can still access Windows 7, I would save a Windows 7 Backup image externally which can be reimaged to the HD or a replacement using the Windows 7 install DVD or Repair CD, which can be made in the same Backup Center.
If the PC came with Windows 7, there may be a way to create Factory Recovery Disks off of the Recovery partition. Read your manual or browse for the utility to make a Lenovo Recovery disk set.
If you have a Windows 7 DVD then you can always reinstall your version using the activation key on the machine or the DVD insert.
Hopefully this helps answer your question which is somewhat unclear. Ask anything else you like.
|My System Specs
|12 Apr 2010
W7 Ult. x64 | OS X
If you need a boot disk to recover information, you'll need to create a Windows PE or similar environment.
Here's a popular one:

In association with
Hopkins will move to WSB with Crescent in 2012
By Michael Guy -
World Superbikes
19 November 2011 09:08
John Hopkins has re-signed for the Crescent Suzuki Racing team with a new deal that will see him compete in World Superbikes in 2012. The 28 year old American finished runner-up in the British Superbike championship in 2011 with a brilliant year long campaign, which revitalised his flailing career.
Hopkins had been focussed on making a full time return to MotoGP in 2012, but following Suzuki's announcement that they will suspend their MotoGP activities, he was left without a competitive ride in the paddock.
While Hopkins won't be in MotoGP, he's still been able to secure a ride on the world stage, with a team and bike capable of running at the front of the class.
Speaking to MCN from San Diego, he said: "I was obviously disappointed about the MotoGP thing, but after that going to WSB with Crescent was always my first choice. No matter what else I got offered, riding for Crescent was my number one option over any of the other WSB teams.
"I feel really good on the bike and all in all it's a win, win situation to stay with the team and continue along the same path only now we're stepping it up to the world championship."
"Riding for the Crescent team gives me a home like atmosphere. I get on really well with Paul (Denning), Jack (Valentine) and my crew chief Les(Pearson). We get on extremely well and I've lived with them all year."

Fulfilling the Value Proposition
The Next M&A Wave: If mergers are once again a potential strategy for accomplishing growth objectives, the previous round of transactions offer several lessons.
to be negotiated at arms-length and stand on their own merits as well, should the deal be terminated. In many cases, the upside of potential synergies will occur when better information access provides broader insight into where and how benefits can be developed. In this sense, synergies estimates often can be thought of as a floor, rather than a ceiling.
The obvious mandate for corporate upheaval that accompanies any merger can serve as a very powerful catalyst. Everyone accepts that change is unavoidable-the only question is how far-reaching it will be.
Poised to Shrink
The industry stands again at an inflection point regarding consolidation. But this time, it is less likely to retreat from the march toward more and larger combinations. Consequently, electric utilities are on the verge of another downward step-change in industry population.
Several factors are driving the renewed interest in M&A. Strategically, the interest of companies in reshaping or repositioning themselves has never waned. Financially, it is apparent that the need to grow soon will catch up to the desire to grow. Opportunistically, coveted options for acquisition are no longer remote dreams, as a level of "fatigue" has crept into the management suite with stand-alone strategy success viewed as overly demanding, unpredictable, and draining. Couple these motivations with the reality that companies have proven that synergies are real and can be captured, and that regulators have generally been reasonable in their treatment of proposed deals, and you have a recipe for moving transactions to the next level.
The focus of managements in considering M&A has evolved from the mid-1990s to the present. As Figure 3 shows, the motivations for mergers have shifted from readiness for competition and scale for survival, to market positioning and earnings enhancement. Although these motivations are not mutually exclusive across time periods, the emphasis of managements reflects the challenges that dominate the current agenda. In today's environment, the search for earnings growth dominates management's attention. This motivation is a powerful incentive for horizontal expansion, particularly when combined with the ability to lift a company to the next level of competitive scale and asset divertity.
Utility managements certainly will pursue the next generation of transactions with a distinctive style and approach. Transactions will focus heavily on communicating a coherent strategic purpose and carefully be crafted to avoid financial risks. Some of the characteristics we expect from the next wave of transactions include:
- No, to low, premiums. The era of large control premiums is past. Buyers and sellers understand that the interests of the shareholder are not advanced with exchange rates that are unrealistic and excessive.
- Super-regional positioning. Proximate mergers may appear more justifiable, but are not always the most compelling. Companies will not be afraid to step outside their natural market to pursue a combination that positions them better within a wider geographic territory as a stronger competitive enterprise.
- Non-regulated business attraction. The focus is shifting back again to finding real earnings growth engines. Inevitably, this leads companies back to those businesses viewed as having the right growth dynamics, albeit with a more sober appreciation of

Haifa S.
Townhome buyer in Kissimmee
Thank you Greg ,i am very satisfied , thanks for your time ,efforts , help and advise.
Cali R.
Home buyer in Deland
Greg worked very hard viewing many properties for is since we were not in the area. Once we found our home he arranged and met with the home inspector, HVAC tech, electrician and plumber for us. He was able to handle everything with us not being around. He responded to us quickly and addressed all our concerns timely. We are very happy and will use Greg again if we ever need a realtor in the area in the future.
Christy J.
Home seller in Deltona
This is our second time to work with Greg: once buying and once selling. We went back to him because we think he is great. He keeps up in the loop and stays on top of details. I particularly like that he returns calls or emails very promptly.
Previous review from Christy J.
Greg had to go 'above and beyond' to work with a difficult seller and help us find the house that we wanted. He's patient and diplomatic. He also followed up on the details and made sure we got answers.
Omar O.
Townhome buyer in Orlando
Thank you! Greg, we gladly appreciate for your grand patience for taking this grand ride with us. We finally could say we found our home. You were able to provide our needs in detail. We will be refering you to our family and friends.
Karinann M.
Prospective buyer
One of the best realtors out there. Professionalism is beyond reproach.
Marta R.
Home buyer in Kissimmee
Greg is very professional in his work, a person that will go out he's way to help his clients.
Craig L.
Home buyer in Kissimmee
Greg was very quick to respond to my demands and did a very good job at showing me the type of house that I wanted to see, and within my price range.
Erik K.
Home buyer in Haines City
Greg has worked extremely hard in assisting our house purchase. He is not only my real estate agent, but a friend. Thanks Greg!
Jamie B.
Home buyer in Tavares
I simply can't say enough good things about Greg. My home purchase had some unusual issues in that I work in a remote location outside the US. Greg managed all my needs, answered my questions promptly, got in touch with me by Text and Email, which is much easier than phone in some parts of the world. He found just the right houses to look at initially and was with me throughout the entire buying experience.
Ray B.
Home buyer in Deland
Greg was very professional and helped us every step of the way. He kept us updated on the loan process and his quick responses were greatly appreciated. He went out of his way to make sure the seller took care of us and even took it upon himself to correct an overlooked detail in the house. I highly recommend Greg!
Melissa J.
Home buyer in Deltona
Thanks Greg! For helping this process sail smooth. Your knowledge and professionalism ensured us we where in the right hands. I will be recommending you!
Richie S.
Home buyer in Debary
My wife and I were in the market for a house, going on 6 years, and we just couldn't find what we were looking for. Then 3 months ago, we had our first son. We were still living in a one bedroom apartment and as you can imagine, over night, we needed a house ASAP. We contacted Greg and started getting really serious about what we needed and what we "wanted" in a house. Greg helped "tune" us in to what we were looking for and provided us great feedback on what he thought would fit us and our lifestyle. After viewing a crazy amount of houses, Greg also became to be known as "Uncle Greg" (a running joke due to our son). Then one day Greg found a house that "on paper", I really didn't think I would like. Greg thought it would be a good fit and assured my wife and I that we might like it. Sure enough, after viewing the house, my wife and I fell in love with it. Greg really got to know us on a personal level, I would say more like a friend, and fit the house with our tastes. I really applaud him for his hard work, as I thought we would never find a house. But he stuck to it and we are now happily (and of course busy re-decorating) our beautiful house. I can say, that without a doubt, I would refer him to my family and friends without hesitation.
Messias C.
Home buyer in Sanford
Me and my wife are 100% satisfied with this agent. This is our second purchase with this agent. I absolutely love our new house and had a great experience in buying it w/ the help of Greg Landy. He was wonderful to work with, making the entire process of buying a new home very pleasurable and stress free! He has earned our business for many years to come and I will be telling everyone I know of how great of an experience I had. Let me also say he was very flexible, he made late evening trips, and several trips to get needed signatures & paperwork. We really appreciated that!
Greg F.
Home buyer in Haines City
Great person to work with Cares about his customers Very helpfull after the sale HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Chris R.
Home seller in Sanford
Greg is a super asset to your company!!! He went above a beyond any other agent I have worked with in the past. He listened to me and my wifes needs and not only took care of selling our home, but also found us the perfect dream home we have been looking for . I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new home or property!! Thanks Greg!!!! Your the Best !! Chris and Angie Rogo. Deland,fl
Rick B.
Home seller in Deland
Greg did a great job of keeping us up to date on both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our new house. He was very professional, went out of his way to make things easy for us, and I would highly recommend him.
Dolly G.
Home buyer in Poinciana
Greg was recommended to me by other co-workers that had bought homes through him. I highly recommend Greg as a realty. He is very knowledgeable and was very accomodating to us as first time home buyers. He was always readily available to answer our questions and address our concerns. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.
Eva C.
Home buyer in Kissimmee
My husband and I felt his professionalism, attention to detail, dedication and responsiveness since the first time we contacted him, but most of all, his integrity and trustworthiness, and our feeling did not fail. We always felt confident in the way he managed our case. Zip Realty should be proud of having Greg Landy as part of their team. We sincerely feel pleased with the exceptional work he has done and we are willing to continue doing business with him. Thank you Greg!!!
Joe W.
Home buyer in Davenport
Gregg Landy was absolutely a great person. He is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He was turned over to us by our original contact which we originally thought was a negative. However, it turned out to be just wonderful. We will certainly recommend Gregg to any of our friends and/or family who decide to locate to the Orlando area. We can't say enough good things about Gregg.
George M.
Home buyer in Lake Mary
Greg Landy is the hardest working agent I have ever knowen he's on call 24/7 when ever we had any question about a listing or financing his emails or phone calls were instant, the best home purchase ever. Greg showed us several listings always with an upbeat attitude, Greg helped us with our inspections,financing,and was at closing. I will refer Greg Landy to family,and friends or anyone that needs any realestate advise. Zip reality you are lucky to have such a great agent.
Home buyer in Apopka
It was a relaxing experience working with Greg, he was very patient and we felt that he was commited to finding us what we need. He was always available and accommodating.
Victor N.
Condo buyer in Orlando
The first agent I had with zip didn't respond to any calls or emails. It was when I called reception that I got greg and he saved me from taking my business else where. I've bought a lot of houses in canada and now in the US and he was by far the best I ever had and I would recommand him to everyone. He went far above what my fiancee and I ever expected and she is in the mortgage business and comments on how much he did without having to do it. I would use him for everything going forward and has earned my total trust and friendship. I just hope going forward zip tries to model all their employees after this agent. This was a rough 2 purchases but with greg and his people skills. This guy is top notch and you should happy to have and keep him as he would be a major asset to any company.

The England Women's squad to compete in next month's Under 20s Nations Cup has today been announced.
England head into the tournament hoping to secure a second successive crown after winning the inaugural title in Canada a year ago.
England will take on Wales, the USA and Canada. The reigning Nations Cup champions will have home advantage on their side with the tournament being staged at Brunel University from July 9th - 18th.
The USA are new entrants to the tournament this year and they will open their championship campaign against Wales on July 9th. England, meanwhile, will take on Canada, a side they defeated twice last season, on the same day.
England U20s Head Coach Giselle Mather said: "This is an important opportunity for us to defend our title. Last year the standard of the Nations Cup was very high and we know we must raise the bar again. However, with this being a brand new group of under 20s players it's a new challenge and we have to work very hard.
"It's going to be a very fierce and physical competition and it's a very punishing schedule with a game every three days. It's going to tough for us but every team is in this same situation.
"Marlie Packer is our squad captain. She's a very passionate player and I am sure she will lead from the front. She got a lot of responsibility this year but I know she'll do an excellent job. Other players to watch out for are Lizell Heather and Harriet Mills who were new to the squad this year. They both had a great game against Wales earlier this year so I am expecting them to make a real impact in the Nations Cup."

Today is the first time i've posted in ages! Been so busy with uni work I needed to cut off all means of procrastination. Aaaand, its my birthday! I have beautiful flowers three years running :)
I'm just not mean enough to point out that this poor boy obviously hasn't got any 'corisma'. Hahah though.
I could not believe this coat had gone in the sale. I have wanted it for so long since I saw the Burberry one last year; I was even considering changing one of my existing trenches into something similar by removing the sleeves and making leather ones instead. But yeah, its gone down from like £90 to £45 and then with student discount I got it for £40.50. Amazing. So pleased.

Australis-Styled Widgets Presentation
4 December, 2013 § 3 Comments
I've been pretty quiet this semester about the work that a team of students have been focused on. However, don't let my quietness be a representation of how hard they have worked.
We're now reaching the end of the semester and the students have put together a video of their work throughout the semester. The students were tasked with creating three add-ons for the upcoming Australis version of Firefox.
The goal of the project was to get feedback on the new Australis add-on APIs before it became too late to make significant changes. Through the process some bugs were filed, but none that caused us to have to go back and rethink our initial direction.
The three add-ons that the students were asked to create were a weather add-on, music add-on, and Bugzilla add-on. Please watch the video below to get an overview of their capabilities.
You can view the source code for the Weather widget and the Bugzilla widget online.
Download a Holly nightly today
4 December, 2013 § 1 Comment
Continuing with the Australis work that much of the Firefox front-end team has been laser-focused on recently, we now have automatically updating nightly builds of Holly (Windows, OS X, Linux).
Holly is the version of Nightly that doesn't include the Australis changes. We are running this special "backout" branch of Nightly because Australis won't be ready to make the move to Firefox Aurora by the December 9th merge date.
We will continue to work on Australis in the Nightly 29 train, with the goal of Australis merging to Firefox Aurora 29. In the meantime, the Holly branch is what will be merged to Firefox Aurora 28.
It is very important that we have nightly testers who use Holly to help the Firefox community make sure that we have good code coverage over the changes that will be making their way to our Aurora population.
If you'd like to help test out the Holly branch, you can now download an auto-updating nightly build of Holly (Windows, OS X, Linux). Again, these will be very similar to the official Firefox Nightly builds with the exception that they don't include the Australis user interface changes.
Running a backout branch with Mercurial
21 November, 2013 § 3 Comments
As mentioned in an earlier post, we are running a special branch of Firefox that is made of the Nightly (
mozilla-central) trunk minus the Australis changes. This branch will be the source of our Aurora (
mozilla-aurora) builds in a few weeks.
As we were planning this work, we found that there weren't many resources on the internet that described how to do what we wanted.
Basically, we have our trunk that will have a large and invasive feature being built on it. However, we also want to have a branch that doesn't include this work.
To get started, we created a separate repository (
holly) that was cloned from
mozilla-central prior to the feature branch being merged in to
mozilla-central. When the feature branch was merged in to
mozilla-central, we merged over
mozilla-central to
holly again. At this point we ran a reverse diff of this merge (which only consisted of the feature branch changes). This reverse diff was then applied and committed to essentially back out all of the feature branch on this new
holly repository.
Getting started was the easy part. Of course, software is never finished and we needed to figure out how to handle future changes to the feature.
We kicked around many ideas as we were trying to figure out how we wanted to run the backout branch, and I feel that we have settled on a pretty simple route that so far has worked smoothly.
Each time that we want to merge from
mozilla-central to
holly we do the following:
cd /mozilla-central
hg pull -u
cd /holly
hg pull -u
hg pull /mozilla-central -r mozillaCentralChangeset
- if the set of changes between
hollytip and mozillaCentralChangeset include changes that need to be backed out:
hg up -r mozillaCentralChangeset
- to switch heads to the mozilla-central-based head
hg qbackout -r rev1+rev2+rev3
- from oldest to newest, where rev* are the revisions that need to be backed out)
hg qfin -a
hg up -r hollyTipChangeset
- to switch heads back to the holly-based head
hg merge
hg commit -m "merge mozilla-central to holly"
hg push
qbackout is a Mercurial extension written by some Mozillians to make backing changesets out much easier. It uses Mercurial Queues and generates reverse diffs instead of creating a full backout branch like hg backout does. I highly recommend it.
I hope this post will help others who want to do something similar.
Australis landing plans
8 November, 2013 § 38 Comments
The team working on the new Australis version of Firefox (myself included) is starting to get close to merging to mozilla-central. We're too far from being able to say exactly when this code will merge, but I want to go over our backout plan for Australis.
As you may or may not know, Australis is a project to provide an updated visual design, streamlined tab strip, new Firefox menu and improved customization capabilities.
Due to its large scope, Australis couldn't be implemented with the ability to toggle its presence via an about:config preference. This unfortunately carries with it a more burdensome plan to undo the changes should there be issues that lead us to delay the release of Australis.
When Australis (currently located on the UX branch) merges to mozilla-central, the Australis team will manage a special project branch that mirrors mozilla-central but excludes the Australis changes. This branch is located in the temporary Holly project.
In the likely chance that we choose to hold Australis on the Nightly train for an extra release cycle, we will use Holly to merge to mozilla-aurora. This will allow the mozilla-central changes not related to Australis to continue moving along with the release trains.
This also presents an issue in that the code that reaches Aurora will have a tiny fraction of the testing hours on it compared to the Nightly builds. To work around this, I'm asking that users who aren't interested in Australis use the Holly branch for their Nightly builds. This will help spread out some of the testing hours and make sure to catch any potential merge bustage faster. I'll be posting a link to download Holly nightlies once we merge from UX to mozilla-central.
In the meantime, if you are looking to help test Australis you can download a build from the UX branch.
Determining when an element is scrollable in Gecko
16 October, 2013 § 1 Comment
As a web developer, there are often times where it's necessary to know if an element on a page is scrollable. One way of checking this would be to find the difference of
element.scrollWidth and
element.clientWidth. If the difference between these two properties is non-zero, then the element is scrollable. However, this doesn't work for all cases.
In particular,
element.scrollWidth and
element.clientWidth clamp their values to integers. If the difference between the
scrollWidth and
clientWidth is less than zero, then the computed difference between the two will result in zero. This is less than good.
Starting in Firefox 16 [1], there is a new property
element.scrollLeftMax which returns the difference of
scrollWidth and
clientWidth, including the fractional component. Also introduced is the companion
element.scrollTopMax for use in determining vertical scrolling availability.
Hopefully these properties will find their way in to the other layout engines.
[1] These properties were implemented in bug 766937.
Student project: Australis-styled widgets
11 September, 2013 § 2 Comments
A couple weeks back, Gijs Kruitbosch and I began mentoring a group of students on a new student project focused on building some new Australis-styled widgets.
The team is comprised of students from Michigan State University's Computer Science program. Pictured from left to right are Dan Poggi, Eric Proper, Eric Slenk, and Dave Thorpe.
The goal of the project will be to create four independent widgets using the Add-on SDK and new Australis widget API:
- A weather widget that can show the weather for a selected location as well as up to 5-7 additional locations. This will need to use a public and free weather API.
- A music playing widget that will play music located on the user's local machine. The user can select a folder on their machine and the widget will play any media files that it can find within that folder or in that folder's children. We may need to limit the recursive depth to 2 folders.
- A Bugzilla widget that will show the assigned bugs, review requests, etc. This will be based on Heather Arthur's excellent Bugzilla Todos dashboard.
- A Spartan Scoreboard widget that will show the date, opponent, and location of the next MSU sporting event, as well as the score of the previous game. It should also include a link to get more information.
Eric Proper, Eric Slenk, and David Thorpe have begun blogging about their progress. You can follow along and get more details on their respective blogs. Eric Proper has an amazing amount of detail already on his blog. I'm looking forward to seeing the blogs from Dan Poggi and Dave Thorpe.
We will be meeting weekly at 9:00am Eastern time on Thursdays throughout the Fall semester.
Backing up your contacts on FirefoxOS
25 July, 2013 § 21 Comments
I've been helping beta test B2G and subsequently FirefoxOS since October 2012. Once in a while I've come across a bug that requires me to reset the phone back to its factory state. Unfortunately at this early stage there isn't a built-in way to back up your data from a FirefoxOS phone. I'm sure it's on a roadmap, but as with all v1 products you have to make some tough calls when it comes to feature prioritization.
This tutorial provides a step-by-step walk through of how to backup and restore your contacts on a B2G or FirefoxOS phone. It's not supported so it may stop working in the future, but for now it works :)
To complete this tutorial you'll need a B2G/FirefoxOS phone, a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer, and the Android Debug Bridge installed (referred to as `adb` later in the tutorial).
1. Start up your FirefoxOS phone and go to Settings.
2. Go to Device Information
3. Go to More Information
4. Go to Developer
5. Enable "Remote Debugging". This will allow you to use ADB to pull data off of the phone.
6. Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable.
7. In your console, type `
adb devices` to check that the phone has connected properly. You should see your phone listed as an attached device. At this point you can now use `adb shell` to browse through the system files on the phone.
8. Type `
adb pull /data/local/indexedDB/chrome/3406066227csotncta.sqlite .` This will pull the contacts IndexedDB database off of your phone and in to your local working directory. If you are curious about the contents of the database, you can install the IndexedDB Browser add-on for Firefox which will let you open up the database.
And you are now done with backing up your contacts. If you need to reset your phone in the future, you can just follow these steps again but replace step 8 with the following: `
adb push 3406066227csotncta.sqlite /data/local/indexedDB/chrome/3406066227csotncta.sqlite`. This will push your backed-up contacts database back on to the device.
