Innkeepers, Caribe, Inverness, Cordia, Vitro: Bankruptcy
A joint venture between Cerberus Capital Management LP and Chatham Lodging Trust won this week's auction for 64 of the 72 hotel properties owned by Innkeepers USA Trust.
Their offer was about $1.13 billion, according to the buyers' statement. Chatham won yesterday's auction for five other properties with a bid of more than $190 million, according to a person with knowledge of the auction. For other Bloomberg coverage, click here.
The auction, which began May 2, opened with an offer for 65 hotels from Lehman Ali Inc. and Five Mile Capital Partners LLC. Lehman Ali, a non-bankrupt subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., has $238 million in floating-rate mortgages on 20 of the properties. Had the Lehman unit and Five Mile won the auction, they were to acquire the properties through confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan.
With other buyers prevailing, it won't be known until details are made public whether the Cerberus-Chatham acquisition will be through a plan or by a sale before plan confirmation.
It is also as yet unclear whether Chatham will have smooth sailing in purchasing the other five properties, given possible opposition from Innkeepers' preferred shareholders. An argument could be made that the five weren't properly up for auction yesterday.
Midland Loan Services Inc. is the servicer for $825 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt on 45 of the 72 properties. Under the plan with Lehman Ali and Five Mile, Midland was to have a 75 percent recovery from $622.5 million in new mortgages on revised terms. The improvement in Midland's recovery won't become known until details of the auction are released.
From the outset of the Innkeepers Chapter 11 case, Midland insisted on an auction, which Innkeepers didn't originally contemplate holding.
The plan was intended to give Lehman Ali a 91 percent recovery on its mortgages. The improvement, if any, in Lehman Ali's recovery likewise isn't publicly known yet. For details on the prior Lehman Ali-Five Mile plan covering 65 hotels, click here for the March 14 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
A hearing is currently scheduled on May 10 for approval of a disclosure statement approving Innkeepers' Chapter 11 plan. The confirmation hearing for approval of the plan is tentatively set for June 23.
Innkeepers, based in Palm Beach, Florida, has 72 extended-stay and limited-service properties with 10,000 rooms in 20 states. Apollo Investment Corp. acquired the company in July 2007 in a $1.35 billion transaction. The Innkeepers Chapter 11 petition filed in July listed assets of $1.5 billion against debt totaling $1.52 billion.
The case is In re Innkeepers USA Trust, 10-13800, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
New Filings
Caribe Media Files Facing Fraudulent Transfer Claims
Yellow-pages publisher Caribe Media Inc. and affiliates until yesterday were non-bankrupt subsidiaries of Local Insight Regatta Holdings Inc., part of a group of publishers that filed under Chapter 11 in November.
Caribe and affiliates sought Chapter 11 relief yesterday in Delaware at the demand of senior secured bondholders, the company said in bankruptcy court papers. The bondholders insisted on a filing by May 3 to preserve the ability to sue for the recovery of $44.2 million in dividends that Caribe paid to Local Insight between May 2009 and September 2010.
The bondholders already filed proofs of claim based on the dividends they contend represented fraudulent transfers.
Caribe violated covenants on the senior bonds in the third quarter of 2010. The debt was accelerated in April and access to the revolving credit was cut off.
Debt includes $127 million on the senior bonds and $57 million on senior subordinate notes. Cantor Fitzgerald Securities is the agent for the senior bondholders. WACS Capital Partners IV LP holds the subordinated notes, court papers say.
Caribe, which publishes yellow page directories in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, said it has no known unsecured debt. Just in case, the company is asking the bankruptcy court for the ability to pay any pre-bankruptcy unsecured claims without awaiting confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan.
Caribe was acquired by Local Insight in 2006 in a transaction that gave rise to the $184 million in debt that is the subject of the Chapter 11 case.
Local Insight filed its Chapter 11 petition in November after learning that the lenders failed to file a financing statement to perfect liens on collateral securing the loan. The bankruptcy occurred soon enough that the company may be able to void the security interest as a preference. The lenders are owed $337 million.
Local Insight publishes 870 directories for 115 phone companies. Debt on the Regatta Holdings companies includes a secured $311 million term loan and a $26 million revolving credit. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA is agent for the lenders. In addition, $221 million is owing on senior subordinated notes.
At the Local Insight line of companies there are $258 million in bridge loans now owing to venture capital investor Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, the controlling shareholder. The Local Insight companies owe another $214 million on two issues of subordinated notes.
Trade suppliers are owed $8 million, according to court papers.
The Caribe case is In re Caribe Media Inc., 11-11387, and The Local Insight case is In re Local Insight Media Holdings Inc., 10-13677, both in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Sun Capital's Furniture Maker Berkline to Liquidate
Berkline/BenchCraft Holdings LLC, the manufacturer of Berkline reclining sofas, filed in Delaware to liquidate in Chapter 11.
The company is more than 90 percent owned by private-equity investor Sun Capital Partners Inc. Berkline, based in Morristown, Tennessee, blamed its business failure on the recession and the resulting "steep decline" in sales. Management decided to liquidate in late March, the company said in its May 2 filing.
In April, Hilco Merchant Resources LLC beat five other liquidators at an auction for the right to sell the inventory.
Hilco guarantees a recovery of no less than $2.78 million. Once sales cover the guarantee, Hilco will take the next $500,000 plus expenses of the sale. Additional recoveries are split, with Berkline receiving 80 percent and Hilco keeping 20 percent.
Wells Fargo Capital Finance LLC is the first-lien lender owed $4.29 million. The $140 million second lien has an affiliate of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as syndication agent. There are $12.5 million in unsecured subordinated notes, mostly held by affiliates of Boca Raton, Florida-based Sun Capital.
The case is In re Berkline/BenchCraft Holdings LLC, 11-11-11369, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Cordia Communications Files to Sell CLEC Business
Cordia Communications Inc. filed for Chapter 11 protection on May 1 in Orlando, Florida, intending to sell its business as a competitive local exchange carrier.
The filing was made to meet a deadline set by Verizon Communications Inc. and the business will be sold through auction and sale procedures, according to court papers. No buyer is yet under contract.
Cordia, based in Winter Garden, Florida, generates $35 million in annual revenue in 27 states.
There are $16.9 million in priority tax claims and about $6.6 million in unsecured claims. The company doesn't believe there are any valid secured claims. Court papers don't put a value on the assets.
The case is In re Cordia Communications Inc., 11-06493, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida (Orlando).
Robinson's Movie Distributor Inverness Files Chapter 15
Movie distributor Inverness Distribution Ltd. filed a petition for Chapter 15 protection in New York yesterday, owing $74.1 million to a group of European banks.
The company was set up to distribute movies outside the U.S. and Canada that were produced by Morgan Creek Productions Inc., according to Inverness's Bermudian liquidators. "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" is one of Morgan Creek's movies.
The company went into provisional liquidation in January in Bermuda, where the company was registered. The liquidators say Inverness's only office was in Bermuda. They don't say where executives conducted the company's business.
Inverness was managed by James Robinson, the company's sole shareholder and the founder and chief executive officer of Morgan Creek, the liquidators said in court papers.
The liquidators said they were informed by the lenders that they have reason to suspect that assets of Inverness were "used to benefit other entities affiliated with Robinson."
Societe Generale is agent for the lenders. The bank debt was in default before the insolvency proceedings began in Bermuda.
Chapter 15 isn't a full-blown reorganization like Chapter 11. If the bankruptcy judge in New York decides that Bermuda is home to the "foreign main proceeding," the U.S. court will allow the foreign court to collect the assets, adjudicate claims and make distributions to creditors.
Chapter 15 gives the liquidators the ability to stop creditor actions in the U.S. and collect assets in this country. The injunction against creditor actions isn't automatic in Chapter 15. The liquidators will hold a hearing where they can ask for preliminary relief, such as an injunction against creditor suits.
The case is In re Inverness Distribution Ltd., 11-12106, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Sun Capital's Arch Aluminum Bids for U.S. Vitro Business
A Sun Capital Partners Inc. affiliate bid $45 million for U.S. units of Vitro SAB, topping an existing offer even before a bankruptcy judge approved procedures to auction the companies.
Sun Capital, the Boca Raton, Florida-based owner of Vitro rival Arch Aluminum & Glass Co., is familiar with bankruptcy sales. More than a dozen of the private-equity investor's companies have filed for Chapter 11 protection since January 2006 and it bought Arch Aluminum out of bankruptcy in January 2010 for $53.8 million.
Sun Capital is offering $1 million more than the existing offer of $44 million from an affiliate of Grey Mountain Partners LLC, based in Boulder, Colorado. In addition, Sun Capital is willing to be the so-called stalking horse without being promised a breakup fee if outbid at auction.
Grey Mountain's contract calls for a 3 percent breakup fee that amounts to $1.3 million.
In a filing yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Fort Worth, Texas, Sun Capital said that Vitro's managers, "potentially perceiving new employment opportunities with a financial buyer like Grey Mountain," excluded Arch Aluminum from the sale process until last month.
A May 6 hearing is scheduled in bankruptcy court where the judge will decide whether Arch Aluminum or Grey Mountain should be the stalking horse with the first bid at auction.
Vitro's U.S. subsidiaries are in Chapter 11 in response to involuntary bankruptcy petitions filed in November by holders of defaulted notes. When Vitro put the four U.S. subsidiaries into Chapter 11 on April 6, it immediately filed a motion proposing a sale to Grey Mountain.
The Vitro parent is reorganizing in Mexico. It is also the subject of a Chapter 15 proceeding in New York where it is asking a U.S. judge to enforce whatever reorganization a judge in Mexico approves. Bondholders have a motion pending to transfer the New York case to Texas, a move Vitro opposes.
A group holding more than 60 percent of Vitro's $1.2 billion in defaulted bonds is opposing the Mexican reorganization. They say it would be a misuse of Chapter 15 because Vitro intends to cram down a plan on noteholders by using votes arising from $1.9 billion in inter-company claims.
In the Mexican reorganization, Vitro is offering noteholders what it said would be a recovery of as much as 73 percent by exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt and convertible bonds. The bondholders claim Vitro is worth enough to pay them in full.
For a summary of Vitro's reorganization and the lawsuits between Vitro and the noteholders, click here for the Dec. 15 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
The Chapter 11 case in Texas is In re Vitro Asset Corp., 11-32600, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth). The Chapter 15 case in New York is In re Vitro SAB, 11-11754, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
WaMu Wins Approval to Pay $13 Million to Settle Class Suit
Washington Mutual Inc. received authority this week to pay $13 million to settle a class action on behalf of individuals who allegedly were charged improper fees when they paid off home loans.
WaMu said it decided to settle even though it believed the suit to be "entirely without merit." For details on the suit that began in 2005, click here for the April 5 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
Creditors are once again voting on WaMu's modified reorganization plan. Voting ends May 13. The confirmation hearing for approval of the plan is set for June 6.
The judge wrote a 109-page opinion on Jan. 7 explaining why she couldn't confirm a prior version of the plan. For details on the revised plan, click here for the Feb. 14 Bloomberg bankruptcy report. For details on WaMu's last-minute changes in the disclosure, click here for the March 21 Bloomberg bankruptcy report. For details on the opinion denying confirmation of the prior plan, click here for the Jan. 10 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
The WaMu holding company filed under Chapter 11 in September 2008, one day after the bank subsidiary was taken over. The bank, once the sixth-largest depository and credit-card issuer in the U.S., was the largest to fail in the country's history. The holding company filed formal lists of assets and debt showing property with a total value of $4.49 billion against liabilities of $7.83 billion.
The holding company Chapter 11 case is In re Washington Mutual Inc., 08-12229, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Alabama Aircraft Sets June 6 Auction for Business
Alabama Aircraft Industries Inc., a provider of scheduled maintenance for U.S. military aircraft, will sell the business at auction on June 6.
Under procedures approved yesterday by the bankruptcy court in Delaware, bids are due initially by June 2. AAI must disclose the winner of the auction by June 7, in advance of a June 13 hearing for approval of the sale.
No buyer is yet under contract. A sale is necessary because AAI was unable to arrange financing.
At yesterday's hearing, the judge also approved a so-called distress termination of the pension plan that is under-funded by $31.4 million. The bankruptcy judge already held a trial on termination of the existing union contract. The parties are awaiting a decision.
Previously known as Pemco Aeroplex Inc., AAI operates under a long-term lease at the Birmingham International Airport in Alabama. It chiefly maintains and repairs transport, tanker and patrol aircraft.
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. was listed as having the largest unsecured claim at $68.5 million. A fund affiliated with Tennenbaum Capital Partners LLC is owed $2.5 million on a note. Assets were valued at more than $32 million in September, according to a court paper.
The case is In re Alabama Aircraft Industries Inc., 11-10452, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Geothermal Plant Owner Raser Gets Interim Loan Approval
Raser Technologies Inc., the owner of a six-megawatt geothermal electric generating plan in Utah, filed a Chapter 11 petition on April 29 in Delaware and received interim approval yesterday for a $750,000 loan.
At the final financing hearing on May 19, Raser aims for approval of the entire $8.75 million loan package, from which $6 million will be used to pay off existing debt.
Before the Chapter 11 filing, Raser negotiated terms for a reorganization where Linden Advisors LP and Tenor Capital Management LP will acquire all the new stock. Linden and Tenor are supplying the financing. They own about half the $57.2 million currently owing on 8 percent convertible senior unsecured notes, according to a bankruptcy court filing.
In addition to the one plant, Raser has interests in geothermal rights for seven projects in four western states covering 270,000 acres, plus rights in another 100,000 acres in Indonesia.
The petition listed assets of $41.8 million and debt totaling $107.8 million. The company had revenue of $4.25 million in 2010, resulting in a $71.9 million operating loss. The net loss last year was $101.8 million.
Liabilities of the Provo, Utah-based company include a $10.3 million secured debt on the plant. A Merrill Lynch & Co. affiliate has a $22.6 million unsecured debt arising from financing for the plant.
The contemplated plan calls for Linden and Tenor to buy the company for $19.8 million, composed of $2.5 million cash and exchange for debt.
The case is Raser Technologies Inc., 11-11315, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Charlie Brown's Seeks Restitution from Former Execs
The former operator of Charlie Brown's Steakhouse restaurants is pursuing information to enhance the chance it can recover some of the criminal restitution payment to be made by two former corporate executives.
In bankruptcy court papers filed this week, Charlie Brown's describes how former Chief Executive Officer Russell D'Anton and former Vice President Michael Mulligan were charged by federal prosecutors in a criminal information last year with receiving kickbacks from suppliers.
In 2009, D'Anton agreed to pay the company $275,000 in return for dropping a lawsuit. The government recently told the federal district judge in the criminal action that the two should made criminal restitution of about $1 million.
Charlie Brown's wants the bankruptcy court to force the two former executives to turn over information useful in having the district court award the company recoveries from restitution payments. The company and the two individuals are disputing whether the 2009 settlement barred the ability to collect restitution.
The 20 Charlie Brown's locations were sold for $9.5 million. The 12 Bugaboo Creek stores fetched $10 million. The seven The Office Restaurants generated $4.68 million.
Charlie Brown's, the official creditors' committee and the principal lender have an agreement in principle giving part of the sale proceeds to unsecured creditors. Financing for the Chapter 11 case required quick sales. Forty-seven stores were closed before the Chapter 11 filing in November.
At the outset of the Chapter 11 case, the lenders were owed $70.2 million. In addition, debt at the beginning of the case included $14 million owing on second-lien senior subordinated notes and $30 million on a mezzanine loan. The company is controlled by Trimaran Capital Partners.
The senior secured lenders are Ableco Finance LLC, Wells Fargo Capital Finance Inc. and Ally Commercial Finance LLC.
The case is CB Holding Corp., 10-13683, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Confirms Reorganization Plan
Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Inc. and JLS Concrete Pumping Inc., which began reorganization in January 2010 in their hometown of Denver, are on the cusp of emerging from Chapter 11 after a bankruptcy judge signed an order confirming the exit plan on May 2.
Unlike most smaller companies in bankruptcy, the Brundage-Bone Chapter 11 case was a reorganization, not a liquidation. Discussions with equipment lenders allowed the company to renegotiate financing and retain some vehicles to remain in business.
Unsecured creditors are to receive notes paying 5.4 percent of their claims.
The Chapter 11 experience didn't come without cost. The company paid $2.9 million in counsel fees by November, not including almost $1 million in unpaid fees, according to the disclosure statement.
The company's Chapter 11 petition listed assets of $326 million against debt totaling $230 million. At the outset, there were 800 concrete pumps.
The bankruptcy filing resulted from a decline in construction. Revenue fell to $120 million in fiscal 2009 from $200 million in fiscal 2008.
The case is Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Inc., 10-10758, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Colorado (Denver).
Tubo Says Plan Near, Wants Exclusivity Extended
Tubo de Pasteje SA and its Cambridge-Lee Holdings Inc. unit said negotiations on a Chapter 11 plan "are nearing completion" as they filed a sixth motion for an extension of the exclusive right to propose a reorganization plan.
A consensual plan likely will be filed "soon," the companies said. If approved by the bankruptcy court in Delaware at a May 25 hearing, the new deadline will be June 8.
Tubo is a subsidiary of Mexico City-based Industrias Unidas SA. IUSA said in February it had an agreement in principle with creditors for a $371 million debt swap. Tubo's Chapter 11 filing in December 2009 followed a payment default the preceding month on $200 million in 11.5 percent senior notes due 2016.
IUSA manufactures copper and electrical products. Cambridge-Lee, the U.S. subsidiary, is based in Reading, Pennsylvania. IUSA is the issuer of notes secured by a pledge of Cambridge-Lee stock.
The case is In re Tubo De Pasteje SA de CV, 09-14353, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Sexy Hair Chapter 11 Plan Confirmed Inside Five Months
Sexy Hair Concepts LLC, a distributor and marketer of hair-care products, filed under Chapter 11 in December and emerged from reorganization last week, owned by a private-equity investor.
The investor was identified in a creditor's court filing as a company affiliated with TSG Consumer Partners and existing lenders.
For $43 million, the investor took the new stock and enabled the payment of $28 million in secured debt. Another $35 million in secured claims were assumed. Trade suppliers were paid in full, though other general unsecured creditors weren't.
Sexy Hair, based in Chatsworth, California, was acquired in April 2008 by a group led by private-equity investor Thoma Bravo LLC, which owned a 37 percent stake. In the Chapter 11 case, Sexy Hair was represented by the Los Angeles law firm Peitzman, Weg & Kempinsky LLP.
Upon filing, the company said that debt totaled $88.7 million. It included $62.6 million owed to secured lenders, with Bank of Montreal as agent. Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., owed $24 million on a subordinated unsecured note, was an 8.2 percent owner.
Before the Chapter 11 filing, lenders exercised their rights as secured creditors to install a new board of directors and a chief restructuring officer, court papers said.
The case is Ecoly International Inc., 10-25919, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California (Woodland Hills).
Ultimate Electronics Formally Converted to Chapter 7
Ultimate Electronics' Chapter 11 reorganization was officially converted to a liquidation in Chapter 7, where a trustee will be appointed to dispose of the remaining assets and make distributions to creditors.
Yesterday's conversion became the only option when the store liquidation was completed and the secured lender, General Electric Capital Corp., terminated the right to use cash. The store liquidations began shortly after the Chapter 11 filing in January because of a lack of financing. There were 46 stores.
Before conversion, a hearing was set for May 26 to approve the sale of trademarks, copyrights, websites and other intellectual property. Bids are due by May 23.
Controlled by Mark J. Wattles and based in Thornton, Colorado, Ultimate owed $64.8 million to GECC when the Chapter 11 case began. Assets at the time included $2 million in accounts receivable, $98 million in inventory and $12.8 million in real estate. The assets are collateral for GECC.
Wattles is president of Wattles Capital Management LLC, which owns 71 percent of Ultimate. He was chairman and founder of Hollywood Entertainment Corp., which was acquired by and later liquidated in Chapter 11 as part of Movie Gallery Inc.
Hewlett-Packard Co. owns 25 percent of Ultimate.
The case is In re Ultimate Acquisition Partners LP, 11-10245, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Blackstone's Apria Healthcare Demoted to B1 by Moody's
Apria Healthcare Group Inc., a provider of home medical equipment, respiratory and infusion therapies, saw its corporate rating lowered one notch yesterday to B1 by Moody's Investors Service.
Apria was acquired in October 2008 by Blackstone Group LP in a $1.57 billion transaction.
The $696.1 million in senior secured Series A-1 notes due 2014 were downgraded by one click to Ba3. The $317.5 million of senior secured Series A-2 notes due 2014 also slipped one grade, to B3.
The Lake Forest, California-based company reported operating income of $104.5 million in 2010 on revenue of $2.08 billion. The net loss for the year was $17.4 million after interest expense of $130.8 million.
In 2009, the net loss was $3.8 million. For the 10 months just before the acquisition, net income was $56.5 million.

For turkey hunting, for varmints, for squirrels, for knocking around with no particular destination/target in mind this piece of simple hardware will meet almost every need. With a small assortment of shot shells, a factory round or two of 30 WCF and some lead bullet reloads you can solve any target requirements. For more versatility buy an adapter that lets you chamber pistol cartridges like .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long or .32 H&R Magnum.
But you say "Wait Doc, couldn't I shoot deer or black bear with this rig?"
I smile and ask "Are you telling me you're up to hunting with a single-shot?"

Last night, I mounted the main hard disk in Linux Mint 14. And cut/paste a lot of files (about 8GB) from home folder to the mounted disk.
When the operation finished, I suspend my computer, and a few hours later, I shut it down.
Today, when I tried to view my files (which I has copied them last night) I couldn't find them, neither in source folder (my home folder) and destination folder (a Windows drive on hard disk)
Where are them? Is it possible to recover them?

Developer Day is everywhere! In Buenos Aires recently, Pablo Ciccarello, OTN Program Manager Latin America, dropped into the workshop to explain how Oracle users can join OTN and get technical content at our Spanish-language Website, as well as get involved as content contributors for OTN.
The workshop was in a very famous rock venue in Buenos Aires called La Transtienda, where bands like the Foo Fighters play when they're in the city. Attendees were at the club until nearly midnight, mingling with Oracle ACEs, exchanging experiences, and discovering how to get involved in local Oracle User Group activities.
If you are an Oracle expert that writes in Spanish or Portuguese and want to share your knowledge with the Oracle Community, don't hesitate to contact Pablo (pablo.ciccarello AT oracle.com)!

Hi there. I'm following the 'Create A Network' (http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network) instructions to activate Multisite but I don't see any mention of 'require' or 'include' in wp-config.php, above which the documentation says to insert
/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
I thought that since I'm running a decade-old installation that's been upgraded along the way to 3.6.1, maybe something was missing from my config file. So I downloaded WP and looked in the included wp-config-sample.php but the only difference was a longer list of definitions that didn't include one for Multisite.
The only mention of 'require' is on the last line, line 90,
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); but I wouldn't think that's the "require" mentioned in the instructions.
Do I add `/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );` below the list of database and authentication definitions? Today is not a good day to mess up.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - A trial is beginning for a man accused of
shooting and paralyzing a world-renowned primatologist nearly four
years ago.
Jury selection in the trial of Kendall Markell Bolden is set to
start Monday.
He is accused of shooting Shelly Williams in the back on Nov. 7, 2005 as she visited a tailor shop in a suburban Atlanta strip mall.
Police say the shooting happened during a drug deal gone wrong.
They say the shot was fired when a fight broke out while Bolden and
his co-defendant, Elliott Mitchell, were in the area to sell drugs.
Bolden and Mitchell face charges including armed robbery,
kidnapping, aggravated assault, theft by taking and possession of a
firearm during the commission of a crime.

Hi, I have a technology webblog technoessence.com, and when I want to log-in, I could be waiting ten minutes to do so.
If I do get to the Dashboard, of course I'll want to create a new post, but that takes even longer to display. If I get there without a "timed out" I'll obviously write a post.
That may take ten minutes to get the "successful" bar and then when I check if it actually posted, It doesn't show up. After about 2-3 hours the post shows up, but then if you want to click "more" or the post title, you get a 404 error because it has given the wrong link. My permalink structure is /%year%/%postname%/.
What is wrong?

US: CEDC kicks debt down the road as bankruptcy filing considered
By Olly Wehring | 26 February 2013
CEDC has warned it will initiate a bankruptcy filing if note holders do not accept its stock offer
Central European Distribution Corporation has started offering stock to some of its creditors, as the company is not in a position to cover its debt.
The firm, which sees one set of notes mature next month and another two sets mature in 2016, said late yesterday (25 February) that its proposed stock-swap would reduce its note debt by around US$750m. US-based CEDC, which operates primarily in Central and Eastern Europe, has been struggling with debt, resulting in the firm handing operational control to leading shareholder and Russian Standard owner Roustam Tariko last month, in return for US$65m.
The firm's offer to holders of the three sets of notes comprises:
- 8.86 new shares of common stock for each US$1,000 of the 3% Convertible Senior Notes due on 15 March
- 16.52 new shares of common stock, plus $508.21-worth of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due in 2020, for each $1,000 of the 9.125% Senior Secured Notes due in 2016, and
- 22.18 new shares of common stock, plus $682.37-worth of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due in 2020 for each EUR1,000 of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due in 2016
If taken up, the offers would see the note-holders receive 65% of CEDC's common stock. Also, the senior secured notes, which total $957m, would be replaced by $500m of the new 6.5% notes, due in 2020.
Meanwhile, the convertible senior notes, which total $258m, and Tariko's Roust Trading Ltd, which is owed $20m in unsecured notes, would share 10% of common stock. A separate $50m credit facility, provided by Roust Trading, would be converted into 20% of common stock.
"CEDC's recent business performance has been positive, and the company is optimistic about future results," CEDC said. "However, current enterprise value is insufficient to cover the debt and hence distributions to creditors will not be enough to pay them in full.
"CEDC nevertheless has structured a proposal that affords an opportunity for its shareholders to participate in the upside of the company's turnaround."
The alternative to the offer, CEDC warned, is a bankruptcy filing in the US, which would "effectuate the restructuring through a fall-back, pre-packaged Plan of Reorganisation".
All three offers expire on 22 March.

Malian soldiers on Friday fired rocket-propelled grenades at the town hall in Gao, where armed Islamist forces had been holed up the previous day during heavy fighting, an AFP journalist reported.
It was not immediately possible to determine whether Islamists were still active inside the building in the northern town. A Malian soldier earlier said "many" bodies of dead fighters wore explosives belts, both in the town hall and the nearby court house.
He added that mines had been laid in the area.
According to the French army, between 15 and 20 Islamists were killed and two French soldiers "very slightly wounded" in fighting in central Gao on Thursday. "Four Malian soldiers are said to have been wounded," a French military source said.
Overnight Thursday and on Friday morning, shooting broke out in several parts of Gao, which lies in northern desert territory 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) from the capital Bamako.
In the city centre, notably at the main market, Islamist snipers were positioned on rooftops, an AFP journalist saw.
The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), which occupied Gao for nine months before it was recaptured by French and Malian troops in a French-led offensive on January 26, said it had sent fighters into Gao to "free it from the evil-doers".
The Islamist movement said that the battle had "only just begun" to seize back control of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu, the three main northern towns which fell to jihadist insurgents last year.

About Kiwi Collection
Eastern Europe's Extravagant Getaways from Forbes.com
By Lauren Sherman
It's not hard for frequent travelers to rack up enough stamps in a year to fill a passport. But even trips to Saint Tropez, Ibiza and Santorini become routine when you spend so much time on the road.
That's why Eastern Europe is a hot ticket: It's virtually uncharted territory for the luxury traveler.
Until now.
There are a couple of factors that contribute to the surge of high-end resorts opening in places like Bulgaria and Poland, says Paul Kerr, CEO of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a Surrey, U.K.-based directory of 440 hotels and resorts spanning 70 countries.
One is that tourism is fast becoming a source of economic growth. Visitors to Turkey, for example, spent over $819 million dollars in 2006, a 7.4% increase from the year before, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute, an Ankara-based government agency. The second is that historic buildings in the region are a virtual bargain compared with real estate in western and central European countries.
"The governments of these countries, says Kerr, "are putting in heavy benefits and awards to hoteliers when they take a historic building and make it a luxury property."
Many of these countries--including Poland and Hungary--offer tax breaks to foreign businesses that bring in tourism dollars, allowing hoteliers to save up to 15% on their investment. Discounts are also often given on building and maintenance supplies.
Historical Haunts
The 24-room Chateau Mcely is one such spot. American businessman Jim Cusumano bought the property--which sits in the midst of the Czech Republic's St. George Forest--from the Czech government in 2004; he purchased it on a whim, with his wife, a real estate agent in the area.
They've since renovated the chateau (which had been used for government conferences), furnishing each bathroom with Italian marble, covering chairs and beds in rich brocade fabrics and sourcing 17th-century furniture for a truly palatial effect.
Another such resort is the 162-room Grand Villa Argentina in Dubrovnik, Croatia. On the outskirts of the city, the villa was a popular getaway in the 1960s--attracting guests like Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor--and was restored in 2002. Along with a private beach, there are four onsite restaurants serving Croatian, Mediterranean and international dishes, plus a spa, gym, indoor pool and sauna.
Got a trip you're dying to take? Weigh in. Add your thoughts in the Reader Comments section below.
Adam and Eve, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, may not have as rich a history, but it sure is luxurious. With nearly 500 rooms overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this design-conscious resort--with all-white rooms lined in mirrors and floor-to-ceiling windows--is anything but boutique. Guests are assigned their very own "angels"--personal executive assistants who book restaurant and spa reservations and can arrange babysitting and special celebrations.
Around the resort, guests can relax at the private beach, pool and spa, or party at nine different bars, including the 24-hour Bluetooth Bar and two-floor disco. Hungry? There are several on-site dining options, from sushi at Arrigato to Russian at Mutbak to Italian at Salve.
With resorts like these popping up at a fast clip, how can travelers trust that the luxury property is up to snuff?
Endorsements from a luxury consortium, like the Kiwi Collection, help; it and groups like it have a set of standards each hotel must meet before gaining admittance. Criteria include a five-star rating from several independent sources; pristine customer service records; and amenities like butler service to a full-service spa, 24-hour room service and king-sized accommodations.
Pam Lassers, a spokesperson for Abercrombie and Kent, a luxury tour operator based in New York, says these groups, including her own, send their representatives to each spot before endorsing it. Desire a firsthand account? Call and ask to speak with someone who has been on the property. You'll be able to ask them specific questions and gain insider info.
After all, it's not only about being the first, but being the first to do it well. "It comes down to bragging rights," says Kerr. "It's about keeping ahead of the Joneses, not [just] keeping up with them."

United Way needs more mentors
Adults to work with more middle school students
Pueblo County United Way is expanding its middle school mentoring program to three more schools this fall and needs more adult mentors.
The mentorship program pairs an adult volunteer with an at-risk sixth-grade student for a one-hour-a-week session during the lunch hour, said Andrea Aragon, director of United Way.
The program has been at Heaton Middle School for the past two years and will be expanded to Liberty Point International, the Pueblo Academy of Arts and Cesar Chavez Academy this year, Aragon said.
The mentors, who are all business leaders, work with students on ways to improve their grades, attendance or behavior issues.
"We're basically there for the student," said Larry Kochis, former program coordinator and mentor. "We work on building a relationship and trust with the students and then we work on what the student needs to change to do better in school."
The mentor stays involved with the student through middle school.
All students involved in the program are identified by the school counselors as in need of such service. Nearly all of the students have at least three failing grades.
Aragon said the program has had positive results at Heaton.
She said the number of failing grades has decreased 53 percent and suspensions are down 50 percent among the students involved in the program.
"Will we be successful with every student? We already know that won't happen, but the success rate without is nil," Kochis said.
United Way is expanding the program to the three additional middle schools and has hired a new program coordinator in Valarie Ruybal after receiving an El Pomar grant.
Kochis said the primary qualification for mentors is being committed to the students.
For more information about the mentoring program or to become involved as a volunteer mentor, contact United Way at 583-4455 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Glenn Babb
Glenn Robin Ware Babb (born 4 June 1943)[1] is a former politician and diplomat for the former apartheid government in South Africa. More recently he has been a businessman and entrepreneur. From 1985 to 1987 he had a high-profile posting in Canada where he was his government's ambassador to Ottawa and made frequent public statements against the anti-apartheid movement and in defence of his government and in opposition to the movement for economic sanctions on and disinvestment from South Africa that the Canadian government was leading internationally.[2]
Babb was educated at Stellenbosch University and at Oxford having been awarded the Joerg Gosteli bursary. While at Oxford, he rowed with the Lincoln College VIII and was part of the first crew to attempt to beat the Guards' record of fifteen and half hours for rowing from Oxford to London.[3] Thereafter he joined South Africa's Department of Foreign Affairs.[2] He also earned a law degree from the University of South Africa with a distinction in Constitutional Law.[1]
Glenn Babb was born in Johannesburg to Eric Ware Babb and Ora Constance Loverock and was educated at St John's College, Johannesburg, a private school for boys. His great-grandfather, Charles Doering, came from a prominent Ontario family (United Empire Loyalists) which owned the Doering Stock and Dairy Farm in Chesterville, Ontario. Charles Doering with his brother Frederick became the first dentists in Johannesburg. Frederick famously gave dental treatment to the imprisoned Leander Starr Jameson and his men after the Jameson Raid. Charles sent his son, Lawrence Doering, to St John's College as a founder pupil in the Union Grounds. Five generations of his family have attended the same school. At St Johns he was made Head of House and won the trophy for the best Drum Major in the Witwatersrand Command band competition. Glenn Babb married Tracey Dibb on 31 May 2003. Babb has two sons and two daughters.[1]
Early career[edit]
Babb worked as a schoolteacher in 1964 before continuing his education at Oxford University (Lincoln College). In 1967, he joined the Department of Foreign Affairs where he produced the book "Prison Administration in South Africa" and "South West Africa Survey 1967" while in the legal division of the Department. In 1969 he had his first overseas posting when he was assigned to the South African embassy in Paris where he served as secretary for three years. During this time he was made Chairman of the Young Diplomats Association of Paris. He returned to Pretoria in 1972 and was Training Officer with the Department. He authored the books "Training for the Diplomatic Service"[4] and "South West Africa Survey 1967". In 1975, he returned to Paris where he was the embassy's counsellor and then in 1978, he moved to the South African embassy in Rome. Here he was asked to play cricket for the first Italian international team against the Indian Globetrotters and played in two matches. In 1981, he again returned to South Africa to become head of the Africa Desk at the Department of Foreign Affairs and held that position for four years.[1]
Ambassador to Canada[edit]
Babb's mission as Ambassador to Canada began in 1985 while South Africa was in crisis and international pressure on Pretoria was mounting. Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney threatened to break off diplomatic relations with the country when he spoke at the United Nations.[2]
During his two-and-a-half year posting, Babb appeared on Canadian television more than 132 times and even more frequently on radio. He heavily lobbied politicians, journalists, intellectuals and universities in support of the Reagan Administration's policy of "constructive engagement"[2] rather than sanctions or divestment. Babb referred to apartheid as a relatively "benign policy"[5] and a means of controlling "urbanization"[5] and claimed that sanctions would harm South African blacks more than the white minority.[6] He also said of sanctions, "Whether you shoot the zebra in the white stripe or the black stripe," he said, "you are going to kill the zebra."[7] He claimed that the disruption of mineral production in South Africa was in the interests of the Soviet Union and that South Africa was the only force standing in the way of an expansion of Soviet intervention in the African continent.[7]
Many of Babb's appearances across Canada were met with protests. In 1985, when he was speaking at the University of Toronto's Hart House, anti-apartheid activist Lennox Farrell hurled the debating society's ceremonial mace at him. In Montreal, when entering the private Mount Stephen club to give a speech, club members and Babb were pelted with eggs and snowballs by protesters who called him "racist scum".[2] In 1986, Babb appeared on the CBC Radio program Sunday Morning to debate Montreal human rights lawyer Irwin Cotler. The appearance was picketed by 50 anti-apartheid activists.[8]
He was interviewed by the famous Jack Webster in Vancouver who told him: "You're doing very well, laddie". Elizabeth Grey of CBC spent a day with him and submitted her report for the broadcasting prize of 1985. His first interview after arrival in Ottawa was on "Crossfire" which immediately launched public interest in his frank and direct approach to what he regarded as the Canadian misapprehensions about South Africa's future
In an article in Fortune, Babb compared South Africa's treatment of its black population with Canada's treatment of Native peoples. "The media reaction was phenomenal, and some Indian leaders said I was on the right track," said Babb retrospectively. Accepting an invitation by Chief Louis Stevenson, Babb made a high-profile visit to a First Nations reserve, the Peguis Band in Manitoba, with media in tow, in order to press his point.[9] Thereafter, delegations from the Indian representative body, the Assembly of First Nations, visited South Africa and gave credence to the view that there was indeed a comparative advantage for South African blacks.[10]
In 1987 he addressed the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario on the "Strategic Value of South Africa".[11]
Return to South Africa[edit]
In 1987, Babb was recalled to South Africa to take over as head of the Africa division and deputy director-general of the Department of Foreign Affairs.[12] As such, he initiated, after a meeting with President Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of the Congo, the Brazzaville talks for the withdrawal of South African troops from Angola and ending the country's involvement in the South African Border War.[1]
In the 1989 general election in South Africa, he entered politics as the ruling National Party's candidate in the electoral district of Randburg. He was the first ever National Party candidate to share an election platform with a black. [13] President F.W. de Klerk made a point of visiting his constituency during polling day. [14] He was eventually defeated by Wynand Malan, co-leader of the liberal Democratic Party.[15] He was nevertheless appointed to a seat in the South African parliament by F.W. de Klerk who, as State President, had the constitutional right to fill four seats in the House of Assembly of the South African Parliament through direct appointment.[16]
Babb subsequently left parliament after two years, in 1991, and returned to the Department of Foreign Affairs, serving as South Africa's ambassador to Italy[17] where he opened diplomatic relations with Albania, Malta and San Marino and was appointed the first South African Permanent Representative to UN Food and Agriculture Organisation since 1963.[18]
He participated 1991-1992 in the Mozambican peace negotiations in Rome between RENAMO and FRELIMO under the aegis of the Rome Sant' Egidio community and his role is mentioned positively in Sant' Egidio's report on the success of the Peace Protocol.[19] During his ambassadorship in Rome, he was nominated to be South Africa's Commissioner at the Venice Biennale in 1993 and 1995. South Africa participated for the first time in three decades again in 1993 with an impressive exhibition of several artists' work called "Incroce del Sud" which received good reviews. He was also appointed in 1991 by the Board of the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Testaccio as the administrator of the cemetery and presided over the 200th anniversary of Shelley's birth - both Shelley and Keats are buried in the cemetery.[20]
He also served as Commissioner of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Italy.
In 1995 he left government service.[2] In 1995 he became chairman of AGIP Lubricants.[21]
In 1998 he was appointed consultant to the government of the Western Cape and he continued in that role till 2002. In 1998 he was appointed Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Turkey with jurisdiction for the Western, Northern and Eastern Cape Provinces.[22] In 1999 he arranged Profumo d'Italia Flavour of Italy with the approval of the Italian Ambassador and the Italian-South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the V&A Waterfront, a wide-ranging promotion of Italian goods which included a masked ball, two nights of opera, a gondola on the harbour, stands for Maserati and Alfa Romeo, two Italian film stars, Franco Nero and Claudia Pandolfi, who opened the Italian film evenings, Italian music in the Amphitheatre and Italian cooking and cheese-making lessons. Two million people visited the event. [23]
In 2010 he authored the monograph "Abubakr Effendi - A young Turk in Afrikaans" relating to the work of the Islamic scholar sent in the 19th Century by the caliph to instruct the Muslims of the Cape. [24] He has also been active with various business pursuits such as long-lasting milk [PARMALAT], oil lubricants, manufacturing, a tourism service, manufacturing wine vats and owning an office support and internet service.[2] In 2005, his firm Babrius was appointed by the Secretariat of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of Countries [ACP] aligned to the EU to write a report, "Study on the Future of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of Countries" [25] which was published in French and English by the ACP in Brussels on 13 February 2006
Babb was chairman of the Owl Club, from 2006 to 2007, a gentlemen's club, in Cape Town.[1]
In January 2009 Babb was shortlisted for the position of Chief Executive Officer of NEPAD in the African Union.[26]
In December 2012 he published an article in the African Yearbook of Rhetoric on rhetorical action in diplomacy with specific reference to the relative fortunes of Indians in Canada and indigenous peoples in South Africa which led to an interview on the CBC.[27]
In July 2014 Babb was appointed chairman of the Ethics Committee of Southern Wind Shipyard and non-executive director of the company.
In September 2015 Babb organised the international Sol d'Oro Southern Hemisphere Olive Oil competition in Cape Town which ended with a gala prize-award evening at the residence of the first Italian ambassador to South Africa, Casa Labia. It was attended by the Premier of the Western Cape, Helen Zille, and the Minister of Agriculture, Alan Winde.[28]

Injuries prove no obstacle for Warks
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Warwickshire's injury-hit attack dismissed Somerset for 147 at Edgbaston despite the absence of the leading wicket-takers that took them to the brink of last season's LV= County Championship Division One title.
With Chris Woakes and Boyd Rankin ruled out for the first month of the new campaign, Chris Wright and Keith Barker rolled over Somerset's powerful top order in a rain-shortened morning session.
The new-ball pair consistently found seam and swing movement. Left-armer Barker removed Marcus Trescothick and James Hildreth in successive balls and Wright, the former Essex player beginning his first full season at Edgbaston, had taken 3-29 by lunch.
Prolonged showers interrupted Warwickshire's reply for an hour and they, too, had their problems in reaching 111 for three from 38 overs at the close.
The impressive Vernon Philander, Somerset's top-scorer with 38 from 47 balls, quickly accounted for Ian Westwood, and Adam Dibble, in only his third championship match, removed Will Porterfield and Jim Troughton for a return of 2-24.
Fortunately for the home side, Varun Chopra had the resolve, and some good fortune, to make an unbeaten 40 after being awarded his county cap.
It was also a good day for Darren Maddy, who claimed three catches, an important wicket and hit 24 not out in putting on 53 with Chopra.
Somerset captain Trescothick was given reason to rue his decision to bat first; his struggle to make nine from 35 balls was a sign of trouble ahead as the ball nibbled around on a typical early-season surface.
Equally important was the way Warwickshire backed up their seamers in taking every chance that came their way.
Six catches were held in the slips, the first two going to the dependable Rikki Clarke. Arul Suppiah went to Wright's fourth ball and Trescothick, after getting off the mark with a risky steer wide of gully, was beaten by Barker in the ninth over.
Hildreth lost his off stump driving drove at Barker's next delivery and, although Craig Kieswetter began with three fours, Somerset had lost half of their side for 44 when Wright struck in consecutive overs.
Nick Compton was trapped leg before, having faced 44 balls, and Kieswetter's fluent 20 ended with the first of Maddy's catches at third slip.
After the first break for rain, Somerset almost doubled their score before Clarke accounted for Jos Buttler and Peter Trego, who made 18 and 27 respectively, in a spell of 2-13.
With Dibble run out for a single, it was Philander who came to Somerset's rescue. After taking seven wickets in the opening win against Middlesex, the South African revealed a no-frills batting style in a partnership of 47 with George Dockrell, who made 13 not out.
Philander hit two sixes before edging Maddy to Chopra at first slip. In the next over, Maddy held another catch from Steve Kirby to give Wright a final return of 4-47.

OK, I take back my diss of the big-ass garage MS is building cause they're also actively working to get their employees out of cars, onto bikes, buses, and good for them. MS is even providing bike shuttles.
In a poorly-written and argued editorial for the Seattle PI, Dean Trier, takes on Cascade and I presume the Stone Way issue. He rants on about several other topics and it's not entirely clear what his problem is with cyclists, other than I think he just likes cars better, and claims that Seattle has biker-pampered city streets. Maybe he's a Ken Schram wanna be, but uhm (long pause), I challenge anyone that thinks Seattle cyclists are pampered to join me for a ride down Alaskan Way.
Have a read for yourself and leave it to the PI to drum up web traffic with an article about cycling and then, of course, a Soundoff.
Is it satire? Maybe, but if it was, it wasn't constructed well enough to be comedic.
"It's a different bike," I've been telling people asking about the new Madone … "as great a change as the redesign from the 5500 to the Madone SLs. Andrew wrote a full review over the weekend and we had a similar response.
To me, the bike is the stiffest ever from Trek. It climbs and descends like the old Madone, but corners different with much more road feel and acceleration. That's because of the sloping geometry and this bike does slope.
When I first saw the Madone in ads, I thought it looked just like the Specialized Tarmac SL, but it doesn't in person. It's distinctively Trek; especially, with the Bontrager Aeolus 5.0s.

Thanks in advance
Search for posts about CG-FeedReader.
Can I put my word press blogs to a non wordpress site?
CG-FeedReader is supposed to let you put wordpress blog entries on non-wordpress sites. I've gotten it to work with mixed results. It's pretty flexible, has quite a few options (like how many posts to show) but still requires you to change the non-wordpress page you're putting it on to a php page and that might not work for some. Plus I personally found the instructions a little hard to follow. I do, however, thank the author very much because it is free and will work for some.
I hope a future feature for WordPress is the ability to export entirely or selectively to static html page(s). Then one could use a simple SSI to include a post in a non-WP page. BTW, if any WP programmers are listening, even better would be the ability to be able to export the most recent post and specify the number of words or characters to use. I have a space for about 500 characters from the most recent post on a non-WP static html page and would love to find an easy way to do make that happen without copy and paste.
As I posted to the other conversation, CG-FeedRead actually stores its generated HTML into a file for low-overhead, pre-cached retrieval of the RSS info. So, in theory, it should be possibly to use SSI to include the CG-FeedRead output into a non-PHP page (though, there must be PHP pages running on the blog every now and again or the feeds won't be updated...). You could even set up a custom one that doesn't include the source site title, doesn't limit lengths or anything, and DOES limit it to the one latest post -- that might work.
Until I get updating-via-cron working at some point, again, you need to still have some php code running on the blog every hour or so, so that CG-FeedRead has a chance to try to update the RSS cache if needed...

Pleiades is the optical component of the ORFEO system developed in cooperation with Italy.
The Pleiades system is an optical observation system with a metric resolution designed to offer a high acquisition capability with a revisit lower than 24 hours to satisfy both civilian and military needs.
Moreover, to meet the needs for detailed mapping, specially in urban areas and to complement aerial photography, Pleiades will offer instantaneous stereoscopic acquisition and the capability to cover large areas.
For applications such as forestry, geology and marine environment, and using its spectral characteristics and its tridimensional characterization of surfaces, Pleiades should complete the information supplied by other sensors, such as Spot 5, by offering information with a better spatial resolution.
At last, to meet the defence and civil security missions, Pleiades system should enable to:
- Supply the information in a very short delay (typically less than 24 hours).
- Insure to the defence users a priority in the daily programming of the 50 acquisition demands.
- Insure to the defence users the confidentiality of these demands as well as the security of the communications.
- Enable the capability of prioritarian acquisitions on a predefined area with a "crisis" mode implementation.
For this, the Pleiades system is constituted of a constellation of two optical satellites (visible and near infrared domain) on a Sun-synchronous orbit at 694 km. This number of satellites is essential to guarantee the accessibility and revisit frequency required to operationally answer to defence and civil security missions.
With its two agile satellites the Pleiades system will offer:
- a daily access to every point on Earth,
- a resolution of 0.7 m in vertical viewing in panchromatic,
- four spectral bands (blue, green, red and near infrared) with a resolution of 2.8 m in vertical viewing,
- a field of view of 20 km,
- an acquisition of a 120 km x 120 km image mosaic in the same orbit,
- the acquisition of nearly instantaneous stereoscopic couples (or even triplet) of 20 km by 300 km,
- the acquisition of cloud free images covering 2 500 000 km² per year,
- a very accurate localisation of the images (<1 m with ground control points) enabling an optimal use of the data in the Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
Moreover, the great agility of the satellites will enable to minimize the programming conflicts, particularly during the dual use, and to better meet the users' needs.
The main characteristics of the Pleiades optical component are in the table below:
|Image Specification
field of view
|0.7 m
20 km
blue, green, red
and near infrared
|Images localisation
|with ground points

Well,this happens when them grow-up. Enjoy,football-head!
Awesome work! Your Hey Arnold! art never ceases to amaze me!
Don't we all?
^_^ cute!!
oh god i love it
Ahhh the summer, my fav season. Great work here.
Great job!!
Just a quite night at home! Well Done!!!
Aww, thanks I think they are at San Lorenzo, maybe some familiar vacations, there are about 17-18. IDK
I like'em.
Me too! I miss doing collab work with you, and I am all fired up to draw some A/H, any simple, cute, maybe passionate ideas?
Do you have any idea how neat that is coming from you? I mean...your work is just amazing!!! Your style is so fluid and colorful!!! I am working on a HA fic right now called Six Feet in Hillwood. It's a cross between Six Feet Under and Hey Arnold. See, in SFU we know that Claire Fisher lives the rest of her life in NYC but we never know HOW she lived her life. So...I'm kinda wondering that through prose. Feel free to use that, or any of my fics for drawing inspirations. But if you're looking for shorter stuff like Helga's Honest Dream...I am sure I can think of something.
Yup, short stuff, I am kinda short of time and I want to stop procrastinating drawings, I miss drawing them. And thank you I feel honored for your sweet comment <3
Yep, enjoying the heat
i love this ! there so Cute
Beautifully done, Sofia! Heck, this even reminds me of an image I've had of them as teens, with them being alone and intimate with each other during the summer, complete with the bed. So thanks for drawing this.
