The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is a right-wing, corporate funded think tank based in Melbourne. It has close links to the Liberal Party of Australia, with its Executive Director John Roskam having run for Liberal Party preselection for a number of elections. Following the 2007 federal election defeat for the Liberal Party, The Australian's journalist Christian Kerr noted that a new group of federal Liberal politicians were "receiving support from former Howard government staffer John Roskam" at the IPA.[1]
The IPA key policy positions include: advocacy for privatisation and deregulation; attacks on the positions of unions and non-government organisations; support of assimilationist indigenous policy (cf. the Bennelong Society) and refutation of the science involved with environmental issues such as climate change.

The IPA is a non-profit company, which has a restricted membership of 54 people. It was established in 1943 by G. J Coles and a group of businessmen based in Melbourne who appointed Charles D Kemp as the first director. From the outset, it had close ties to the Liberal Party under its leader Robert Menzies. Australian journalist Paul Kelly argues that the IPA's C.D. Kemp was "probably the principal architect of the original Menzies platform" ("The End of Certainty: The Story of the 1980s", p. 47).
The IPA was not influential again until the 1980s, when C.D. Kemp's son, Rod Kemp took up the leadership. Rod Kemp transformed it from a conservative organisation to a neoliberal one, funded mainly by major corporations groups, and pursuing a pro-free-market, pro-privatization, pro-deregulation and anti-union agenda.
According to Cahill (2004: 210) members of the IPA executive from 1976-1984 included David L. Elsum, Hon Vernon Wilcox, Sir Frank Espie, Douglas Hocking, Sir Wilfred Brookes, James Balderstone, Hugh Morgan, Peter Bunning and Charles Goode.
Throughout the 1980's the IPA's primary focus was on issues such as economic policy, privatisation and industrial relations policy. It also dabbled in a few broader issues such as the role of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the role of churches in public policy debates. It wasn't until 1989 that the IPA began to pay any sustained interest to environmental issues. Since then it has campaigned against the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, promoted the use of genetically engineered crops and defended the logging of native forests.
More recently, the IPA has been the driving force behind the establishment of a number of new non-profit front groups, including the Australian Environment Foundation - which campaigns for weaker environmental laws - Independent Contractors of Australia - which campaigns for an end to workplace safety laws and a general deregulation of the labour market, and the ironically named Owner Drivers Australia, which campaigns against safety and work standard for truck drivers.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard, in a speech to the IPA justifying the 2003 Iraq War, commented that "the Institute has played a role in shaping, as well as articulating, our nation's values."[2]
Right Wing?
IPA Executive Director John Roskam has objected to the group being described as being "right wing". "We are many things – but 'right wing' is not one of them. Any combination of free market, liberal, conservative (on some issues), liberal/conservative, (even) libertarian (on occasion), would be an appropriate description of the IPA – but not right wing. Since when has being in favour of small government, lower taxes, and less government been 'right wing'?," he wrote in a letter to Crikey.[3]
In a letter in response, Niall Clugston described Roskam's argument as "disingenuous". "The left/right spectrum is best understood as denoting relative positions, and the IPA is certainly poles apart from anyone described as left-wing. By the way, a key characteristic of right-wingers is that they shun the label. Perhaps they should explain why that is."[4]
Media impact
Following the publication of a column in 2008 questioning the impact of think tanks such as the IPA, Chris Berg, the editor of the IPA's journal, IPA Review, responded:
- "Andrew Crook weirdly asserts that the Institute of Public Affairs has been 'effectively frozen out of the national debate' since Kevin Rudd won office. If being frozen out of the national debate is getting more than 200 op-eds published in the national media during the year and having had hundreds and hundreds media mentions and media appearances -- then we're pretty happy with that. We're not doing too badly for an organisation with a budget of much less than $2 million."[5]

The IPA and climate change
In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, IPA Executive Director John Roskam confirmed the IPA's key role in supporting Australian climate sceptics. '"Of all the serious sceptics in Australia, we have helped and supported just about all of them in their work one way or another," he says, listing some prominent figures on the local circuit. "Ian Plimer - we launched his book - Bob Carter, Jo Nova, William Kininmonth."'[6]
In 2008, the institute facilitated a donation of $350,000 by Dr G. Bryant Macfie, a climate change sceptic, to the University of Queensland for environmental research. The money, which was routed via the IPS, was to fund three environmental doctoral projects with the IPA suggesting two of the three agreed topics. George Bryant Macfie was described as a "medical doctor and philanthropist" and a "long-standing IPA member." Announcing the grant, Macfie complained that "environmental activism" was akin to a new religion infecting science. "The crucifix has been replaced by the wind turbine," he said. The topics for the research included an examination of agricultural practices and chemical usage and the effectiveness of banning tree-clearing in Australia as a way to store carbon.[7] At the time Macfie held 634,846 shares in Strike Resources Limited, making him one of the was a top 20 shareholders.[8] (By 2010, Macfie had increased his shareholding to 800,000 shares, representing .615% of the company's shares.[9]) Strike Resources is a Perth-based mineral exploration company which is seeking to develop an iron project in Peru and the Berau Thermal Coal Project in Indonesia.[10]
In 2011, the institute paid for hundreds of copies of Ian Plimer's book How to get expelled from school: a guide to climate change for pupils, parents and punters to be sent to Australian schools. [11]
The IPA and the Murray River
For all their talk of 'transparency' though, the IPA has beem embroiled in controversy over failure to disclose funders of its work. In June 2004 it was revealed that Australia's largest irrgation company, Murray Irrigation Limited, contributed $40,000 to the IPA. The IPA's environment unit director Jennifer Marohasy played a critical role in persuading a government committee to overturn recomendations to increase the volume of water released into the Murray River. [1]
However, Marohasy did not disclose the donation to the committee. When asked by the Australian Financial Review about the MIL donation, Marohasy would not confirm or deny whether she knew about the donation while writing her report or giving evidence to the committee. She said she did not take "an interest in who funds IPA".
IPA executive director Mike Nahan stated the donation did not affect the organisation's position. While Nahan stated in late 2003 that the names of donors would be revealed, the information is still not disclosed on the organisations website.
In June 2006, Bill Hetherington, Chairman of Murray Irrigation Ltd from 1995 to 2005 - including the period when Murray Irrigation Ltd was a major funder of the IPA - was appointed to the IPA's board of management.
Associated Events
The IPA has heavily relied on funding from a small number of conservative corporations. Those funders disclosed by the IPA to journalists and media organisations include:
- Major mining companies - BHP-Billiton and Western Mining Corporation;
- Pesticides/Genetically modified organisms: Monsanto; and
- A range of other companies including communications company Telstra, Clough Engineering, Visy, and News Limited;
- Tobacco companies - Philip Morris (Nahan) and British American Tobacco [2]
- Oil and gas companies: Caltex, Esso Australia (a subsidiary of Exxon)[citation needed] and Shell and Woodside Petroleum[12]; and fifteen major companies in the electricity industry;
- Forestry: Gunns, the largest logging company in Tasmania; (Nahan 3)
- Murray Irrigation Ltd - a major irrigation company contributed $40,000.[3]
In 2003, the Australian Government paid $50,000 to the Institute of Public Affairs to review the accountability of NGOs.[4]
However, financial support for the IPA has diminished over the seven years from 1995-96 when the IA received $1.4 million to just over $669,000 in 2001-2002 (figures unadjusted for inflation).
Even Rio Tinto, the conservative mining company, abandoned the IPA because of its strident advocacy against Aboriginal self-determination. [5].

The palpebral slant is the direction of the slant of a line drawn from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner.
Mongolian slant
The palpebra are the upper and lower eyelids, which make up the shape of the eye. A line drawn from the inner corner to the outer corner determines the slant of the eye, or palpebral slant. Slanting and a fold of skin (epicanthal fold) are normal in people of Asian descent.
Abnormal slanting of the eye may occur with some genetic disorders and syndromes. The most common of these syndromes is Down syndrome. Persons with Down syndrome often also have an epicanthal fold in the inner corner of the eye.
Palpebral slant may not be part of any other defect. However, in some cases, it may be due to:
Contact your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the child's medical history and symptoms.
An infant with an abnormal palpebral slant will usually have other symptoms of another health condition. That condition will be diagnosed based on a family history, medical history, and a physical exam.
Tests to confirm a disorder may include:

Mobile Operator CEO: Customers Under Our Data Caps Don't Use Much Data, So Nobody Needs Unlimited Data
from the lolwut? dept
While we just recently got some bandwidth-providers to come out from under their caps-due-to-congestion rocks, there is a long and storied history of ISPs filling in the void of logic in the debate over caps with creamy, pink nonsense cupcakes. Because, hey! Who doesn't like cupcakes? A long-standing favorite of mine was Sprint's deft change of the English language, when they altered the meaning of "unlimited" to mean "5 gigs," because Sprint thinks the real world blows and we're better off in their make-believe Sprint-land, where all of our parents turn into Kevin Durant.
But, in an apparent effort to put the UK in the mix for countries with CEOs who say really dumb things, mobile operator EE's chief guy of stuff has come out with his own assessment of why their data caps are fine and unlimited plans are unnecessary.
EE is the first mobile operator in the UK to offer 4G services. When it launched last October, it was criticised for imposing tight data caps - including a 500MB plan that could be chewed through in five minutes at the network's maximum speed.Now, on the off chance that you've spent the past week doing massive amounts of peyote, let me take a moment to explain why this kind of logic is so abysmal that it might actually be responsible for global warming. Olaf says that unlimited data plans are not in demand because their customers, who are already under their strict caps, on average use about 1.5GB per month. The logic is flawless...and by flawless, I mean backwards and evil. Of course EE customers that are under strict caps are going to do everything possible to stay under those caps. You're charging them extra if they go over! The very sample you're using in your justification nullifies your entire point.
Speaking at MWC 2013, [Olaf] Swantee said that on average users are actually getting through only 1.4GB a month. "It shows that the instinct for unlimited data plans is unnecessary," he said.
Let's see...an appropriate analogy. Ah, got it! A dog owner buys one of those electric fence collars for Fido, puts the barrier around a twelve-foot squared kitchen, and then insists that the dog doesn't want to leave the kitchen because it rarely chooses to get the piss shocked out of it by stepping over the barrier. If someone tried to use that kind of sophistry on you, how long before you'd shove a couple of pencils in your ears to make the bad man's voice stop hurting you so?
So way to go, United Kingdom. You're officially accepted into the Dumb CEO League of Extraordinary Un-Logic. Play nice now.

Harrisburg Hotel Corp., the hospitality affiliate of Harristown Enterprises has been acquired by Colorado-based Greenwood Hospitality Group, effective Friday.
The deal includes the sale and management of the 341-room Hilton Harrisburg on Second Street, a catalyst of downtown revitalization in Harrisburg.
Greenwood also obtains nearby Bricco restaurant, part of the hospitality portfolio, and management of the 99-room Hilton Garden Inn Hershey. The Garden Inn retains separate ownership not affiliated with Harristown.
The Hilton was purchased for $22.2 million, according to Dauphin County property records.
Thomas Conran, a Greenwood principal, said the hotel investment and management firm will retain senior leadership and all staff at the Hilton Harrisburg. Bill Kohl, current president and CEO, has been added as the fourth principal at Greenwood.
General Manager Joe Massaro will continue in that capacity, officials said.
The hotel employs about 400 people and has annual sales revenue of more than $20 million, Kohl said. He estimates the hotel's economic impact at five times the revenue.
Greenwood plans to invest up to $5 million in renovations of the downtown hotel, Conran said. Design work will get under way immediately.
Changes to the hotel, which will include upgrades to rooms and public spaces, should be done within three years, he said. The group also has agreed to a long-term commitment to maintain the Hilton brand name, he said.
The deal has been in the works for about a year, officials said. Greenwood was not going to be "jaded" by the city's fiscal crisis, which includes more than $326 million of incinerator debt, Conran said.
"The best days of Harrisburg are ahead," he said.
The private deal removes about $17 million in city-guaranteed debt, Mayor Linda Thompson said.
Harristown President and CEO Russ Ford said the deal will free up resources for the company to reinvest in the downtown. It also owns the mixed-use Strawberry Square shopping center.
Exactly what will be next for Harristown has not been decided, Ford said.
Vice President Brad Jones said there could be opportunities to convert older office properties into residential uses in the downtown.
This is Greenwood's first Pennsylvania hotel. Conran said the firm is "very opportunistic" and would consider other real estate deals in the region.
This item was modified from its previous version to include the price of the transaction.

Tila Tequila is not pregnant – yet.
Despite the reality star's recent post declaring, "Im pregnant!!!!" and "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I am going to become a SURROGATE MOTHER for my brother & his Wife!!!" on Twitter, the reality star isn't yet carrying her little niece or nephew.
"I'm about to be," Tila clarified to Life & Style. "When I tweeted that, I figured there's not enough space in the 140 characters. [I meant] I'm going to give him a Christmas present that's going to change his life."
And Tila told the mag she is ready to enjoy life as a pregnant person.
"I don't have time to take care of a real baby of my own — not yet however — I feel I am very ready to experience the whole pregnancy process but without having to actually have the baby my own to take care of."
In related Tila news, the star announced her engagement to Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson earlier this month via her uStream account.

Last month, Mitt Romney, the GOP presidential front-runner, said he does not understand how a young person could vote for a Democrat. He elaborated, saying that considering the immense debt that Democrats are creating, destroying the future chances for young people, it is unclear to him how a young person could give his or her trust to a Democratic candidate.
President Obama now leads Mitt Romney by 17 percentage points – 43 percent to 26 percent – among voters ages 18 to 29, according to a poll released Tuesday by Harvard's Institute of Politics (IOP). That margin represents a 6-point gain from the last survey of millennial voters by the IOP in November.
I have conducted a random survey, with young people from eight different states, asking them a question: "What would Romney have to do to win over your vote?" The answers are revealing, and might help Romney understand better how a young person could vote for a Democrat.
Nathaniel, 23
La Farge, Wisconsin
"I would not vote for Mitt Romney under any foreseeable condition. If elected, I can see him being an even bigger big government neoconservative than George W. Bush. This means more poverty, infringement of civil liberties, gratuitous defense spending, and corporate tax cuts. Romney is the last thing our country needs."
Anna, 21
Burlington, Vermont
"He'd have to not be a Republican. Just kidding. I'd like to see him more socially liberal. I'd want him to promise to spend more money on things like education and health care (universal), social welfare, etc. I'd want to limit our military involvement in other areas and concentrate more on what needs to be fixed in the United States, such as making us less dependent on gas and more on renewable energy. His being Mormon doesn't really help his case either."

"For me, he'd have to show that he can relate to the middle and lower class citizens of America. If he can't relate to us, then he won't be able to understand and potentially fix the problems we're faced with."

"I believe that when it comes to voting in presidential elections, Americans either vote with loyalty to their party or select "the lesser evil."I think that in a lot of Western capitalist countries, there is starting to be a shift in politics toward more socialistic tendencies. I believe that capitalism works well in the U.S., and we are not meant to be a socialistic country which Obama pushes for. Although Romney is not my favorite for certain issues, I would prefer him over Obama and I don't want to see such a world shift in politics towards socialism, because we have seen that socialism doesn't last. But, if it had been Santorum, I would have voted for Obama. Honestly, it's not about party allegiance for me, but really for picking "the lesser evil" because I'm not a fan of any of the candidates for 2012."
Hugh, 21
Boston, Massachusetts
"Mitt Romney is from my state, and most of us still don't like him. While I don't dislike him nearly as much as many of the other Republican candidates, I am still definitely not going to vote for him. What would he have to do to earn my vote? He would need to develop a personality and he would need to start sounding and acting like a leader. He seems very unsure of his ideals and it sounds like he would change his positions on matters in a moment if polls told him to. Mitt Romney is more of a follower than anything, and so he would need to make some tough choices and stand up for them for me to start having any respect for him."
Colleen, 22

"Honestly he'd have to become a liberal ... haha. I just couldn't see myself voting for a conservative and though I do think he is a better option than Santorum was, I just really can't identify with him on pretty much any level, particularly his extreme wealth. That being said, I haven't kept up to date with his campaign, so I do have to admit I'm not at all an expert on any of his ideas, but to me what is important is education, health care, the environment, domestic issues, etc. I just don't see a Republican-led government concentrating on these things."
Kayla, 21
Cottontown, Tennessee
"Although I haven't followed many of the debates this year, I still differ from most of the others on this. It's not about parties to me. I am pretty conservative on many issues and so in order for him to gain my vote, he would have to take a leading stance on issues.I want to see health reform, but not a socialistic-style health care system. I would like to see someone willing to serve the country for it's own sake, and not act as we owe them something (like many of our politicians do now). Furthermore I would like to see a leader who rallies both sides to come together, rather than someone who only gives credit to a certain party's ideas."
Hannah, 20
Bangor, Maine
"He would have to be much more socially liberal. I would like to see funding go to places like health care and our education system. I would like to see him recognize problems like children going hungry and gas prices rising like crazy. Honestly, at this point, there is nothing he can do to win me over. But if Obama doesn't get his act together, who knows what could happen."
It is obvious that the main issues for young people in 2012 are health care, welfare state issues, education, and endowment spending. For the sake of having diverse and higher quality debate between the candidates for the election, I hope the GOP will take note.

As always, google is your friend. parallel database algorithms turns up lots of current work; I'm sure a look at specific open source projects would turn up more (and maybe more relevant) work. Some of the tools I turned up in my short former query do exploit the kind of simple read-only data parallelism you described, though, and wrap it up all pretty. For small read only databases (backing e.g. a website), the very simplest approach is likely to put a full copy of the DB on each server and distribute the transactions themselves round robin. Use rsync to periodically update the images to accomodate distributed changes, if you permit distributed write and you dare (merging in changes is nontrivial). Or write an engine that uses idle time of the node engines themselves to distribute inserts to be scheduled. Google itself is a pretty good example, actually. Complex searches of a read-only and truly encyclopediac database. All I really know is that this is real computer science, and I am only an amateur at best. I suspect that large scale database parallelism is the subject of much current algorithmic research, as parts of the problem are likely NP complete or at least NP hard. rgb -- Robert G.

Studio Fitness Shoot: Justin Walls
I did a second fitness shoot with Justin Walls, this time we shot in the studio. I used two lights, a five foot octobank softbox camera left, slightly in front of the subject and feathered slightly toward the camera and a seven inch gridded reflector camera right and back behind the subject. This added separation from the background on the side opposite the main (key) light. Here are a few selections from the shoot. Would love to hear your thoughts.

BRISTOL — When husband-wife duo Jeff Weaber and Katina Martin moved back to Addison County in 2005, Martin — a naturopathic physician — founded Salisbury Natural Family Health the following year.
Weaber, with his years of brewing experience in Oregon, decided to combine his and his wife's skillsets to create a beverage high in vitamins and probiotic yeast and bacteria: kombucha, a slightly fermented tea first produced in Asia. In the autumn of 2007, the kombucha company Aqua Vitea was born in the basement of Weaber and Martin's Salisbury home.

New Delhi: Amid mounting pressure, Congress on Wednesday said it was not against formation of Telangana, signalling that a decision on the vexed issue of a separate state has been put on the fast-track.
"Congress is not against the formation of Telangana state. We are in the process of taking a decision but then formalities have to be completed," party spokesperson PC Chacko told reporters here.
His remarks came as Congress MPs from Telangana awaited an appointment with party chief Sonia Gandhi for submitting their resignation to press for an early creation of a separate state.
Chacko`s initial response was that the party`s position on Telangana is well known and that "it`s only a question of time" when the decision will be announced.
Asked specifically whether he meant to say a separate state of Telangana will be announced and it is just a matter of time now, the Congress spokesperson responded by saying, "You are right. We have taken a position. Our party position is very clear. But whatever decision has to be taken has to fulfill some constitutional obligations."
As reporters flooded Chacko with queries on whether his remarks meant he was saying that Congress supports a separate state, Chacko hastened to clarify that his only submission was that the party was "not against Telangana".
At the same time, he insisted that some formalities have to be completed on the Telangana issue.
A senior Congress leader, who declined to be identified, said that it was not a "yes or no" matter and that there are many related issues like deciding the location of Hyderabad and obtaining an Andhra Pradesh Assembly resolution.
Chacko`s remarks are significant as they have come at a time when the Budget Session of Parliament was less than a month away and the party needs to keep its flock together in the last year of UPA II.

I love the wire look - I think it's fun, dimentional and simplistic at times. I got tired of all the fuss a long time ago. You'll have to stop by - my latest post kind of ties together with the chicken wire look - take a peep... I mean peek! Jennifer jennsthreegraces

Chicken wire is my favorite too! Love all of these photos. It took me years to figure out the word for Oil is pronounce "awl" where I live! Funny!

Hi Janean,
Thank you so much for including my chicken wire cloche set! A sweet friend of mine follows your blog and notified me that she saw my cloches here.You have a wonderful blog and a new follower!

That is funny! I could just hear "war" echoing through my head. My m-i-l says that. We are from TX. I currently live in GA so I know what you mean about hearing the different accents. I do have a couple of war baskets in my house. The light fixture in the 2nd photo is pretty neat!

No wire here, as much as I like the look.
I had to smile at the bit about regional accents. Can you imagine how hard it was back in the 80's when we lived for a year in Oklahoma - I got myself in lots of pickles because I misunderstood so many words like that!

I love chicken wire, yes, I say wire but not war. I do slip sometimes and a accent will come out. :) But my British friends say I talk like Bambi. I love that chicken wire basket.

In and around our home we definitely have wire! When a "city girl" married a "farm boy" she fell in love with some of his country quirks! Wire, naturally, was one of them. I adore the red cabinet with chicken wire doors on our lower level living family room.
Truth being, I'd love to have a bit more. . .but DH isn't as excited as I am about it being in the house. So. . .I'm working a few pieces into the garden areas outdoors! As the weather warms, I'll be showcasing them in my posts!

You are too funny. I love chicken "war" too. I have used fabric with chicken "war" to decorate in several of my kitchens.
Love the dining room picture with the wall to wall hutch with chicken wire doors.

We don't really have any wire creations in our home but I like this look. I have a Chicago accent. That's right - no matter where one lives, they have an accent to others who live elsewhere. :)
Hope you have a lovely weekend,

It was really funny but after I moved to the Midwest from FL I didn't think my speech had changed at all. One day I was talking to my friend in FL and she said.."Wow, Diana, you sound just like a WISCONSINITE...lol...whatever the heck that is supposed to mean! lol So Y'all just keep on finding more of that thare war to post about!;>) Diana

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama would veto a bill by the House of Representatives that would create a bipartisan panel to make recommendations on reducing the country's deficit and debt limit, the White House said on Tuesday.
The White House said the bill "does nothing to solve the immediate, pressing obligations (that) the Congress has to open the government and pay its bills" and urged the House to vote on a Senate-passed bill that would reopen the government.
The White House also said Obama would veto another House proposal dealing with "excepted" federal workers who are on the job during the shutdown.
Under current law, those employees will not get paid until the government reopens. The House has proposed to pay them now, similar to how active military employees are being paid during the shutdown.
The House has already passed a bill that would retroactively pay employees classified as "non-essential" who have been furloughed during the government shutdown. Obama said on Tuesday he supports that measure, which has not yet been passed by the Senate.

Knotfest Night One Features Scintillating Slipknot, Return of Lamb of God, + More
Night one of Slipknot's two-night, two-location Knotfest was everything fans had hoped it would be. The group pulled in a stellar lineup to play the Mid-American Motorplex in Council Bluffs, Iowa and left audiences with a night they'll remember.
The headliners ripped through a solid set, bolstered by such fan favorites as 'Wait and Bleed,' 'Vermillion,' 'The Heretic Anthem,' 'Psychosocial,' and 'People = S—' among others, before finishing the night with 'Surfacing' and 'Til We Die.' It was made all the more special by the fact that the band were able to stage the inaugural festival in their home state in front of an insane crowd.
The evening also featured the highly anticipated return to the stage for Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe, who had been jailed for the better portion of a month in the Czech Republic over an alleged manslaughter case relating to a fan death from an undetected injury sustained at a show. The band headlined the second stage and shook off the rust with a blistering set for the Iowa audience.
Other top draws Serj Tankian and Deftones also enjoyed solid sets. Tankian provided a mixture of older favorites like 'The Unthinking Majority,' 'Sky Is Over,' and 'Empty Walls,' with newer tracks like 'Harakiri' and 'Uneducated Democracy,' the latter of which received its performance debut at Knotfest.
Deftones, meanwhile, also had some new music to attend to as 'Rosemary,' a recently debuted new song, continued to be part of their set. They also worked through such past favorites as 'Diamond Eyes,' 'My Own Summer (Shove It),' and 'Change (In the House of Flies).' The set was also notable as Tankian, who has been sharing stages with Deftones as a member of System of a Down, hopped up to join the group for a performance of 'Mein.'
Knotfest moves on to the Minneapolis area tonight. If you're not able to make it, be sure to sign up for the pay-per-view event at Event Live View.

Double Chin Liposuction (Neck liposuction)
Double chin and Sagging neck are signs of aging and it is quite obvious that none wants to look older. Going for a direct facial enhancement surgery at the cost of extended downtime and other risks is not a viable solution. Hence, the new-generation surgeons use the tumescent liposuction procedure to improve their facial features and double chin liposuction and neck liposuction are two options which can give you a beautiful, sculpted face.
Tumescent lipo is one of the safest ways to remove fat from the face and neck. As a result, the final outcome is more natural with lesser risk, scars and bruises. Moreover, since the Tumescent liposuction procedure involves the use of a special, local aesthetic, etc to smoothen the process and induce less or almost no pain. Hence, the recovery is rapid and relatively healthy. The aftercare procedure doesn't consume more time and effort, so the patient can resume his/her routine quite soon.
After the surgery is over, which usually takes an hour; you are required to take adequate rest. You should follow your doctor's instructions carefully to complete a healthy recovery. You need to rest and avoid stressful activities for the first two weeks. You need to consume healthy diet in order to regain strength. Medicines will be prescribed to you in case you experience post treatment pain or discomfort.
One of the important reasons to fly to India for surgery is to save duty, which is imposed otherwise on cosmetic surgeries done in other countries. Cosmetic Surgery in Mumbai, India costs relatively less compared to regions like the Kenya and other parts of the world. Medical tourists from Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru travel the most to India.
This is a right time to book your tickets!
Key factors:
- > Affordable
- > Safe and effective
- > Feel at home atmosphere
- > Highly qualified surgeons and staff
- > Internationally recognized services
- > Can be combined with holiday/business trip
- > Pick up facility for out of town guests
- > Comprehensive, packaged deals

Four of METALLICA's classic LPs were voted among the "The Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time" by the online readers of Rolling Stone magazine.
In announcing the results of the poll — which was launched last Friday — the editors of Rolling Stone wrote, "Metal fans are a very passionate bunch. They're also very opinionated, so when we asked them to vote for their favorite metal albums we expected a huge response. We also expected a big debate about the very definition of 'heavy metal.' Some metal fans say that groups like LED ZEPPELIN and GUNS N' ROSES are metal. Others think that's completely insane. We aren't here to settle these debates. We're merely here to count the votes."
"The Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time," according to the online readers of Rolling Stone magazine:
01. "Master Of Puppets" - METALLICA
02. "Paranoid" - BLACK SABBATH
03. "Black Sabbath" - BLACK SABBATH
04. "The Number Of The Beast" - IRON MAIDEN
05. "...And Justice For All" - METALLICA
06. "Reign In Blood" - SLAYER
07. "Appetite For Destruction" - GUNS N' ROSES
08. "Metallica" - METALLICA
09. "Led Zeppelin II" - LED ZEPPELIN
10. "Ride The Lightning" - METALLICA

I first met Lou Hertz in the fall of 1995, in the lobby of DesignEFX, a (now defunct) animation/design house here in Atlanta (part of Crawford Communications), as I was in the midst of networking and desperately trying to find a job in the local animation scene. I had heard about DesignEFX through word-of-mouth and by seeing their work while working as a tape op at a film production/editing company, Majick Lantern. I was very impressed with the quality of work, and thus, I knew that I had to get my foot in that animation door, somehow. I began to ask around about who to talk to in getting an internship at DesignEFX, but I soon realized that I didn't have to ask too many people, as everyone knew Lou. "Talk to Lou," was the usual mantra I heard.
And so I called him. Getting his answering machine, I left a message. No reply. I called again the next day: answering machine. I decided not to leave a message this time for fear of coming across as TOO desperate. Still no response. So I waited for two days and called again: answering machine. At this point, I began to think, "He's so busy, he probably doesn't have the time to talk to a silly, young & naïve animator, fresh from graduation," but actually Lou was a very, very busy guy. I left a message and went about my business. Finally! he called me back and told me to come on in to show him my stuff. I was elated.
It was all set: I would come in, show Lou my resumé, we'd go over my portfolio, and have him take a look at my (meager) demo tape, and then I would be on my way. I was psyched.
As I was waiting in the lobby, I happened to thumb through some of the trade magazines they had on the coffee table in front of me. Soon I realized that all these mags had some article about DesignEFX, or mentioned some award that they had won recently: Clio, BDA, etc. I started to get a little nervous. Man, these guys are top-notch, I thought to myself. In came Lou.
"Hey there! I'm sorry I'm late, I just had a heck of day already!" he said with a thick Alabamian accent. I had not expected an older, graying man in his 60's. When I talked to him on the phone, he had this bold and youthful voice, so I figured that he was maybe in his 40's or possibly early 50's. But not some old dude! I was a little taken aback, but when he shook my hand and showed me around the place, he had this youthful energy about him. He was young at heart, and it was infectious. As we walked, I handed him my resumé, which had taken me quite a while to finesse and print out. He took one look at it, suddenly folded it -- TWICE -- and put it in his back pocket. I was a bit appalled by that action, but I figured, oh, what do I know, maybe that's the way they do it in The Biz.
The 2D animation department was located back in the warehouse of a former store, part of a small strip-mall of sorts. It was located off-campus, so to speak, far far away from all the busy-bee activities of the broadcast production world that consumed the main building. That was a blessing, I was told later. After walking past a couple of impromptu offices, filled with programmers, we finally entered the slight hole-in-the-wall corner that housed the animation department. I was so excited to meet actual animators, as such a creature was a rare find. And there they were, busily working, flipping, and drawing on animation discs, which I had only seen in Frank & Ollie's The Illusion of Life. I started to get more nervous. These guys were professionals! They do work that wins awards! Better yet, they do work that is seen on TV! My mind was racing.
Lou then introduced me to the group, "Hey guys, guys -- this here's Ward. He's gonna show us his portfolio!"
My heart sank. Us??? I thought to myself. I thought it was only going to be me and Lou! In his office! That's it! I can't possibly show these award-winning professional animators my feeble portfolio, filled with asinine scratchy gesture drawings and ignorant character designs! Sheesh.... I reluctantly opened my portfolio and turned the pages. As I did, I felt sweat stream from my armpit, down my side. Literally. I was doomed.
The guys were very nice in their comments about my work, but I wasn't ready for what was next.
"Okay, now. Let's take a look at your demo tape!" Oh dear Lord, help me.... Again, the guys were gracious in what they said about my work on screen, considering that it was a simple, one-minute animated short, shot on 8mm film, videotaped while being projected up on a wall at school (apparently I fooled them all), but I was dripping with sweat by the end of it.
Even though I had expected to show my work to Lou in a private manner, I did see Lou's intentions after looking back on it all. Animation is a communal art-form, employing many to complete one job. There is a common bond that we all possess, bringing us all together like a team. And so, Lou was basically introducing me to the team. If I was to be a part of this team some day, I should meet them now, and they should see what I can offer.
Lou Hertz had a great sense of humor, always the butt of his own jokes. He loved animation -- all forms of it -- even after being in it for so many years. It was as if he was always fascinated by the business, always in a state of wonder by it all. Eager to please, and never one to complain about the smallest of concerns, Lou was a great father-figure to many in this town, including me. With his aforementioned jovial voice, and his down-home sense of humor, Lou made you feel like you were family. Whether it was some odd story about growing up in Alabama, outhouse ethics, working at UPA, washing cels -- you just knew that you were in for an interesting conversation with Lou. I loved the way he addressed you as a friend, with his signature, "boobie."
"No problem, boobie!"
Lou gave me my very first job as an animator. I am forever indebted to him.
Lou, you will be sorely missed. Thanks for everything.
UPDATE: The Atlanta Journal & Constitution did a nice write-up on Lou. You can read it HERE.

What a great tribute. I never had the pleasure of meeting Lou, but after your kind words, I kinda feel like I know him. I can tell he will be missed to no end.ReplyDelete
That's sooo sad. We all remember those people in our long journey who helped us through and kept us honest. People like Lou are rare birds. Your tribute was very touching.ReplyDelete
a touching tribute and story. sounds like he was a great teacher and friend to you.ReplyDelete
Oh, you didn't sweat all THAT much. But you WERE amusingly nervous. Here's to Lou; and more to the point, to his example that growing OLD doesn't have to include growing UP. I certainly will miss my favorite dirty old man. Thank heavens we still have Strandquest...ReplyDelete
Hey there, Pope. It was nice to see everybody, but I hated the reason why. It was a very moving ceremony. Made me proud to have known Lou.ReplyDelete
And thanks, all, for the nice comments. I really appreciate it. He was a fun-loving guy, and I wished that you all could've met him. He was a hoot.
His wife, Judi, to his kids:
"He had a blast."
A beautiful tale you have told. It must be very hard for you to lose someone who has given you all the necessity to be a great animator. I just realize something about Lou; aside from having the determination to make an exceptional company out of his team mates, he too has the quality and the charms that really inspire those who are close with him, a sign of encouragement to produce good works as well as a closure between each other. He will definitely be missed by all of us.ReplyDelete
- Glen!
"Just make it look good boobie."ReplyDelete
Rest in peace Lou.
It is a great gift to have such a mentor. Your words really moved me. My congratulations on having such a friend and my condolences on your loss.ReplyDelete
Lou was a true friend. Any time you called him, for whatever reason, he would say, "I'll be right there.", and he was. When his crew in heaven starts to get rowdy he'll say, "DRAW A PICTURE, BOOBIE!" He will be missed.ReplyDelete
I was so sad when you called to tell me the news. lou played such a big role in the beginning of your career as an animator... such a cool guy. I like to think he'd love this drawing you did of him here, too.ReplyDelete

I've been away from the Atlanta animation community for what seems like a lifetime now. Lou kept in touch by email, regaling me with stories of trips to Zagreb, Ottawa and Annecy, and of being the "loud mouth" representative from ASIFA-Atlanta at the international board meetings. When I was still in Atlanta, there were many times when the two of us would get together to go over ASIFA details and just chat - about animation, about dogs, about families, about life. These are the times when you want to remember all the details of the conversation but can't. He joked mercilessly, never once showed up without a twinkle in his eye, and made me laugh plenty; so maybe the words are fading but the feeling persists. I can't begin to describe the joy I saw in him in being a part of the international animation world. His enthusiasm for the art was contagious and his appreciation for those who can pull it off boundless. He was always saying how incredible it was to see what the young animators were doing these days, humbly claiming to be an old fart past his prime and not up to the new gadgetry. But he knew the essence of the art was far beyond any new-fangled toys or tools, and he constantly shared his sincere and heartfelt wonderment at its magic. This energetic spirit, full of spit and gumption, has made a lasting impression. You know I think you're the greatest, Looie.ReplyDelete

Hello Ward,ReplyDelete
For a 25th Anniversary Crawford tribute video I am working on, I need a good picture of the wonderfull Mister Lou Hertz, and need it better than matchbook size. The B&W headshot that acomes up in a google images "Lou Hertz" search would be good but I'd take anything. If you or your peeps have something along these lines msg me at troche2255 then circle-a then gmail.com.
I need a pix of Ran Coney too if you go back that far....

Skin cancer is when cancer cells grow in the skin.
The two most common kinds of skin cancer are:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
It is important that skin cancers be found and treated early. If left untreated, they can quickly invade and destroy nearby tissue.
Cancer occurs when skin cells in the body divide without control or order. When cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. Unlike benign tumors, malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
Basal and squamous cell cancers are more common in men and in people over 50 years old. These cancers are most likely to occur in people with:
Other factors that increase your risk of skin cancer include:
Most skin cancers do not cause symptoms. The most common first symptom of skin cancer is a change in the skin.
Basal cell carcinoma may appear as a:
Squamous cell carcinoma may appear as a:
Skin cancers can occur anywhere, but are more common on places that are exposed to the sun.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
You may have a
biopsy. The sample can then be examined for cancer cells.
In cases where the growth is large, or has been present for a long time, the lymph nodes in the area will be checked. More tests may be advised to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Talk to your doctor about the best treatment for you. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
Many skin cancers can be cut from the skin quickly and easily.
In fact, the cancer is sometimes completely removed during biopsy and no further treatment is needed. Surgical techniques include:
A surgical knife is used to cut out the lesion.
This involves scooping the cancer out with a curette, an instrument with a sharp, spoon-shaped end. The area is treated with an electric current to control bleeding. This also kills any cancer cells remaining around the edge of the wound.
This technique is used for small or superficial cancers.
Mohs surgery is the removal of all of the cancerous tissue. The surgeon will try to remove as little healthy tissue as possible. This method is used to remove:
The procedure is done by specially trained dermatologic Mohs surgeons. The cancer is shaved off one thin layer at a time. Each layer is checked under a microscope for cancer cells until the entire tumor is removed.
Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and kill the abnormal cells. After the area thaws, the dead tissue falls off. More than one freezing may be needed to remove the growth completely. This method may be used to treat precancerous skin conditions (actinic keratoses) and certain small or superficial skin cancers.
Laser therapy uses a narrow beam of light to remove or destroy cancer cells. This method is sometimes used for cancers in the outer layer of skin.
Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Topical chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs can be creams or lotions. This method is successful in treating precancerous conditions and cancers limited to the outer layer of the skin. The most common topical chemotherapy used is a form of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) .
Medications such as imiquimod increase your body's own reponse to fight the cancer cells.

Trichomoniasis is an
infection with a tiny parasite spread by sexual contact (sexually transmitted infection (STI)). It is sometimes
called a Trichomonas infection or trich (say "trick").
Both men
and women can get a trich infection, but it is more commonly detected in women. Trich in
pregnant women can cause problems with the pregnancy.
Trich is caused by a one-cell
Many women and most men do
not have any symptoms of trich. But when you do have symptoms, they usually
start within 1 week after you were infected.
In women, symptoms include:
In men, symptoms include:
The time from contact with the trich parasite until you
get symptoms can range from 5 to 28 days.footnote 1 This is
called the
incubation period. You can spread trich to others
during this time and until you finish the prescribed medicine. You should avoid
all sexual contact until you finish taking your medicine and the symptoms are
Your doctor can tell if
you have trich by asking about your past health and doing a physical exam. He
or she may order lab tests to find the parasite that causes trich. In women,
the parasite may sometimes be found during a routine
Pap test. This test is done as part of a
pelvic exam.
Your doctor will prescribe
medicine called metronidazole or tinidazole to treat trich. These kill the
parasite that causes the infection. The medicine is usually taken by mouth as
pills, tablets, or capsules. Medicine given in the vagina will not cure
It is important to treat trich. Treatment can:
Trich is spread when a person has unprotected sex with an infected
partner. Some people carry the parasite that causes trich, but they do not have
symptoms. So it is important to practice safer sex to prevent getting trich.
Using a condom each time you have sex may reduce your chance of getting an
In rare cases, it may be possible to get trich from contact
with personal items, such as a wet towel, that a person with trich has just
used. The trich parasite cannot live on objects for long, so it isn't usually
spread this way.
Trich may be spread from a mother to her baby
during a vaginal delivery, but this is also rare.
Symptoms of a
trich infection in young children may be a sign of sexual abuse. They need to
be checked by a doctor.

Many women and most men do not have any symptoms of trich. If symptoms appear,
they usually start within 1 week after a person is infected. But it may take up to a month for symptoms to appear. In most cases, trich should be treated to prevent
transmitting this sexually transmitted infection (STI) to others and to prevent some problems that can happen if
you are pregnant. You and your sex partner(s) should be treated for trich at
the same time, to avoid reinfecting each other.
Trich during pregnancy raises the risk of premature rupture of membranes
(PROM) and premature delivery. Treating the infection may not always reduce this risk, but it can relieve symptoms and prevent infection in the newborn. If you are pregnant and have trich, talk
to your doctor about the pros and cons of treatment.
Trich may be

Behaviors that will increase your risk of
getting trichomoniasis (trich) include:
You can get other STIs, such as
HIV, and
syphilis, at the same time you get a trich infection.
If one STI is diagnosed, testing for other STIs should be done so that all
infections can be treated at the same time.
Some infections that
can be spread through sexual contact, such as the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, are
life-threatening. Studies show that trich infection may increase the risk of
transmitting HIV infection.footnote 1 Health professionals
around the world are concerned about the increased risk of trichomoniasis and
Women who have trich may also be at risk for other vaginal
infections such as yeast infections or
bacterial vaginosis.

Watchful waiting is a period of time during
which you and your doctor observe your symptoms or condition

to prevent transmitting this sexually transmitted infection to others and to
prevent some problems that can happen if you are pregnant.
Note: Trich during pregnancy raises the risk of premature

(trich) is diagnosed by using:
People can get other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as
gonorrhea or
syphilis, at the same time they get a trich infection.
If one STI is diagnosed, you will likely be tested for other STIs so that all
infections can be treated at the same time.
In women, the trich
parasite may also be identified by a routine
Pap test done as part of a regular gynecologic exam.
Expert opinions vary on the accuracy of a Pap test for diagnosing trich. But if
a Pap test shows trich, your doctor will probably talk to you about treatment
or maybe other tests.
(trich) is treated with an oral
antiprotozoal medicine, such as metronidazole or
tinidazole. The medicine is taken either as a single dose or as
multiple doses.
Your sex
partner(s) should be treated at the same time you are being treated. This increases
the cure rate and reduces the possibility of further transmission or
reinfection. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment until
symptoms are gone and until partners have been treated. It is
best to avoid sex for 1 week after treatment with a single dose of

suppositories and creams aren't effective in curing
trich, but they may reduce discomfort and swelling in the genital area.
If trich goes untreated or isn't properly treated,
complications can develop, such as
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women or
conditions that contribute to
infertility in men.footnote 2
Take measures to reduce your risk of
becoming infected with
trichomoniasis (trich) or other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as
HIV, or
syphilis. You can also reduce the risk of transmitting
an STI to your sex partner(s).
Preventing an STI is easier than
treating an infection after it occurs.
Using condoms may reduce the risk of
becoming infected with an STI. Condoms must be put on before beginning any
sexual contact. Use condoms with a new partner until you are certain he or she
does not have an STI. It is important that
you use a condom properly to prevent the risk of trich infection.
Even if you are using a birth
control method to prevent pregnancy, you may wish to use female condoms to reduce your
risk of getting an STI.
There is no home treatment for
trichomoniasis (trich). But you can lower your chances
of getting trich or other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by making careful
choices about sex. For example, you can make sure to always use condoms during
sex. For more information, see the topic
Safer Sex.
Trich is not usually
transmitted by contact with objects. But avoid using objects
such as washcloths or wet towels that a person with trich may have used.
It is safe for a woman to use tampons while she has a trich infection,
but it may be uncomfortable.
Avoid douching. It does not help
relieve symptoms, and it can even make them worse.
(trich) is usually treated with a medicine called metronidazole.
Tinidazole has been shown to be useful too.
Antiprotozoals, such as metronidazole or tinidazole,
are medicines that kill the tiny
parasite that causes trich.
Metronidazole vaginal
medicines aren't recommended, because
oral metronidazole works better.

Mom was and still is always studying. It's history, geography and, of course, genealogy. I don't think she has ever quit going to school. Now I take my daughter to school and Mom sometimes picks her up after school. While she waits Mom reads...genealogy magazines or books. Never a idle moment without genealogy!
When my brother went for his first day of school, Mom forgot to get him after school. She claimed she was busy preparing food when the teacher called to ask if somebody would please come and get him. I think she was probably knee deep in a genealogy problem, enjoying the fact that she was minus one kid for more than half a day. When she got there to get him, he was sitting with the teacher on the steps of the school, crying. He let her know that she had forgotten him.
Sometimes she would drag us off to cemeteries and then dispense strict orders that we were not to tell our Dad that she had spent hours in the cemetery. They were not exactly playgrounds, but they were just that for Mom.
For Mom it's genealogy 24/7 and she's zealous about finding ancestors and relatives. If somebody was born, they had a mother and father and she's bound to eventually find them. I just hope she doesn't forget my daughter at school. As long as she can take her genealogy goodies with her perhaps she won't.

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier in the week that he had a "leader in the clubhouse" for his kicking competition. It's the same guy who has been in the 49ers' locker room since Harbaugh joined the team.
David Akers will kick for the 49ers against the Green Bay Packers in Saturday night's NFC Divisional Playoff Game. The 49ers signed Billy Cundiff last week to compete with Akers in practice, but Akers won out during a nine-day battle royale.
Akers "responded like a football player does" to the battle, according to Harbaugh. "He gives us the best chance," the coach said.
Akers made the Pro Bowl a season ago, but he has struggled with his accuracy and confidence this season. Cundiff will remain on the 49ers' roster in case Akers slips up against the Packers.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Behind a three-run, two-out rally in the ninth, Georgia Tech defeated Jacksonville State by a score of 4-2 in an elimination game at the NCAA Oxford Regional. Georgia Tech will play in another elimination game later Sunday at 7 p.m. against the loser of Ole Miss-Washington.
With runners at the corners and two outs in the eighth, Georgia Tech head coach Danny Hall turned to senior right-hander Dusty Isaacs out of the bullpen. He struck out Ryan Sebra to send the game to the ninth with the game tied 1-1.
In the ninth, Georgia Tech had runners at the corners with two outs after back-to-back singles from junior outfielder Daniel Spingola and senior second baseman Mott Hyde. Sophomore outfielder Matt Gonzalez delivered with a two-RBI double to right-center, and junior first baseman Thomas Smith added an insurance run with an RBI single.
Jacksonville State threatened in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases with nobody out. Isaacs got a fielder's choice groundout, followed by a foul out and fly out to limit the damage to one run and close out the 4-2 win.
Junior right-hander Matthew Grimes is expected to get the start in the late game for the Yellow Jackets. In the win over Jacksonville State, Georgia Tech used two of its top relievers, Isaacs (1.1 IP, 24 pitches) and sophomore left-hander Sam Clay (2.2 IP, 43 pitches).
"We were seeing how the game went," Hall said. "In an ideal world, we didn't want to pitch either one, but that didn't work out. I'm kind of glad we didn't totally extend Sam. Dusty, I would have liked to see him have about a three-pitch or four-pitch ninth inning. Dusty will be fine in the second game, but I'm not sure about Sam. Sam should be fine for tomorrow if we get there. We will have to beat a very good team to get there."
Georgia Tech is now 4-1 in its last five NCAA Regional elimination games and has advanced to the regional championship game in six straight years.

* Sharp down 2 pct after annual net loss forecast doubled
* Sharp shares down 75 pct this year, CDS spreads surge
* Fitch joins Moody's, S&P in cutting Sharp rating to junk
* Sony shares gain 2 pct after rise in quarterly profit
* Panasonic shares stabilise after Thursday's 20 pct drop (Adds Fitch rating cut, updates share prices to closing)
By James Topham and Umesh Desai
TOKYO/HONG KONG, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Shares of Japan's Sharp Corp fell and Fitch Ratings downgraded its debt to junk status on Friday, a day after it warned of a $5.6 billion net loss for the year and said it might not be able to survive on its own.
Sharp's stock fell 2.4 percent to 165 yen and has lost three-quarters of its value since the start of the year, the worst performer among 2,200 Asian large and midcap stocks, Thomson Reuters data shows.
Shares of rival Sony Corp rose, however, and Panasonic Corp's steadied after a slide to their lowest in more than 30 years, as investors look for signs that Japan's sprawling tech firms will finally take the tough steps needed to grapple with more flexible and better-funded foreign rivals.
"Sharp and Panasonic look miserable," said Yasuo Sakuma, portfolio manager at Bayview Asset Management.
"Investors are hesitant to buy them even though their share prices look relatively cheap. Nobody can say all the bad news has been discounted."
Fitch Ratings downgraded Sharp's credit rating by six notches to B-minus, following cuts by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's late last summer. Fitch said it may cut the rating further, citing looming debt maturities, its limited access to capital markets and the struggle it faces turning its business around.
Sharp's shares remained above a more than three-decade low of 142 yen hit last month, buoyed in part by hopes it can forge an alliance with a high-tech company interested in its display technology, but traders also noted it had become very expensive and difficult for short-sellers to borrow more shares to sell.
The company, whose displays are used in Apple Inc's iPads and iPhones, foundered as the strong yen boosted the costs of manufacturing in Japan and it struggled to compete with foreign rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co. It was forced in September to seek a bailout from its banks.
Effectively shunned by the debt capital markets because of its massive losses and falling market share, Sharp received a guarantee for 360 billion yen ($4.5 billion) in loans from its two main lenders, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho Corporate Bank.
The loans are enough to sustain the company through its next financial year to March 2014, which includes the redemption of 200 billion yen in convertible bonds next September, Sharp Chief Financial Officer Tetsuo Onishi told a briefing on Thursday.
Worries about its cash liquidity have mounted in the credit markets, where the cost of insuring Sharp's debt has jumped more than 30-fold since the start of the year and is now more than 10 times the cost for Sony and Panasonic.
Fears that Sharp may default have also led CDS traders to demand fees upfront, a practice only used in the past for debt with very high yields or for very risky firms. Moreover, that fee has skyrocketed to 67 percent, from 20 percent in July.
Osaka-based Sharp, which also makes solar panels, nearly doubled its forecast full-year net loss to 450 billion yen after booking a $1.1 billion restructuring charge in July-September. The agreement with its banks requires it to return to the black on an operating basis in the second half of the year to March.
"Sharp expects major earnings improvement in the second half as it posted greater inventory and capital write-downs in the first half than planned, and plans to cut personnel and other fixed costs," Goldman Sachs said in a research note.
"However, sales guidance for small/midsize LCDs and solar cells looks optimistic, and we think second half guidance looks difficult."
The Aquos TV maker has been in talks for months with Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, which is considering becoming the century-old Japanese firm's biggest shareholder, but said it is looking at other alliances as well.
The company has denied Japanese media reports, however, saying it is in talks on financial tie-ups with U.S. technology companies such as Apple, Intel Corp, Microsoft Corp and Google Inc.
Sony eked out a small quarterly operating profit, helped by the sale of a non-core chemicals business, and kept its forecast for a full-year operating profit of 130 billion yen. Its shares rose 2.1 percent to 934 yen on Friday.
Panasonic Corp started off the latest round of bad news for Japan's big consumer electronics makers on Wednesday, saying it will lose 765 billion yen this business year as it writes down goodwill and assets and plans more restructuring. That would boost Panasonic's cumulative loss over five years to nearly $25 billion.
Panasonic shares dipped 0.7 percent to 411 yen, steadying after a 20 percent tumble on Thursday. Japan's benchmark Nikkei average rose 1.2 percent. ($1 = 80.1400 Japanese yen) (Additional reporting by Dominic Lau and Taiga Uranaka in Tokyo, Anshuman Daga in Singapore; Editing by Edmund Klamann)

Welcome! Nanopaprika was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry PhD student in 2007. The main idea was to create something more personal than the other nano networks already on the Internet. Community is open to everyone from post-doctorial researchers and professors to students everywhere.
There is only one important assumption: you have to be interested in nano!
Nanopaprika is always looking for new partners, if you have any idea, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
