Our 2009 cost savingsinitiatives, totaling approximately $24 million, are heavily weighted towardsthe second half of our fiscal year. OutlookExcluding the effects of the March 2009 goodwill impairment, we believe fullydiluted earnings for Headwaters fiscal year should be in the range of $0.25 to$0.45 per share, including a tax benefit realized in the June and Septemberquarters in the range of $13 million to $19 million Headwaters` revenue andincome are very seasonal. A very large percentage of our revenue and nearly allof our operating income is generated in the June and September quarters. Our current estimate of trailing twelve months EBITDA at September 2009 is inthe range of $135 million to $145 million, based on our forecast and the costimprovements that have been identified.
We believe that cash flow fromoperations over the next six months, combined with our cost reductioninitiatives, should provide us with the ability to retire our revolver inSeptember 2009 and provide adequate liquidity for normal business operations.The combination of projected EBITDA and cash flow generation should allowHeadwaters to remain compliant with our senior debt covenants. Interest expense is projected to be approximately $35 million in fiscal 2009 anddepreciation and amortization is projected to be approximately $80 million. “We are pleased that our cost reduction measures are beginning to benefit ourincome statement and are having a positive impact on cash flow and EBITDA,”stated Steven G Stewart, Headwaters` Chief Financial Officer. “Theconsolidation of coal cleaning into our coal combustion business was a keyelement of our strategy to bring down our production cost per ton. We havealready identified multiple synergies between these businesses that will lead tocost efficiencies.

He has the ear of the country – Middle, Lower and, it seems, Upper as well. No one believes that he is in hock to Unison, or any other trade union. If the unions push him, he can and will defeat them and they will suffer for that mistake, not just now, but for many years ahead.He is in a position of great strength and, as a strong leader, now needs to move to the next stage He can, I think, afford to loosen up a little. It is time to moderate the language of audit, and to sound a bit angrier. It is time for the Labour leadership generally to start putting some policy flesh on the bones and to speak from the gut as well as the calculating head. It is time to talk more about what Labour will do in power, and less about what it won’t.One day, it seems, Tony Blair is likely to be in Number Ten and, therefore almost certainly, will be in confrontation with public sector workers. He has, in Neil Kinnock’s rueful phrase, got his betrayal in first The unions and the public know where he stands But that is only the start.
If he is to be survive, he needs to have won not just the trust of Middle England but also the enthusiasm of Lower Britain.Trade union leaders matter less these days; and yes, Labour could survive without them. But the people who join unions, or would like to, do matter; and without them there would be no Labour Party worth the name.. Concluding today: our rugby league saga, Up From Down Under!
The story so far: Rupert Murdoch has bought the entire British rugby league set-up to turn the game into a television-only spectacle. Mike Haslet, captain of newly formed team Battlecliff, privately hates the takeover but publicly supports Murdoch’s regime. After leading his team to victory in the League Cup Final, he faces some tough questioning at the post-match press conference.
“Mike, Mike!” shouted a man from the broadsheets. “What was it like, playing at Wembley today?”"Great,” said Mike Haslet. “It’s always been my dream to play at Wembley.”"I didn’t mean that,” shouted the man.
“I meant, what’s it like playing at Wembley without a single spectator? Now that Murdoch has turned rugby league into a TV spectacle with no crowd to get in the way, what’s it like playing without crowd reaction? Without the cheering and booing?”"I’ll tell you,” said Mike. “It means it’s the first time in the history of the game that you can hear your own players speaking. Nobody had any idea until now what the captain was trying to tell them Now they can. No wonder we’re playing better.”There was laughter at this.”Put it another way,” said a man from a posh Sunday. “What’s it like playing for Rupert Murdoch, then?”Mike kept the smile going.”There has been no editorial control of the game at all,” said Mike. “On no occasion has Mr Murdoch rung me up during a game and suggested I kick for touch rather than go for the line.”There was more laughter at this.
Mike was obviously better at handling questions than he had realised.”What do you feel about the rugby league matches all being beamed directly to Malaysia?” asked someone else.What he meant was, “and being gambled on by half of Asia”. But Mike preferred not to take it that way.”Sport is becoming increasingly international,” he said. “We don’t think it’s odd to sit in England and watch the Super Bowl from America, or to have the Tour de France every day on Channel 4. So what’s odd about beaming league rugby to Malaysia?”"Have you ever spoken to Rupert Murdoch?” asked someone else.”Not wittingly,” said Mike, “but all Australians sound alike on the phone to me.”It was agreed that Mike had fielded the press conference amazingly well, which is probably why he did get a phone call from Rupert Murdoch a few days later, congratulating him, and offering him the job of his roving ambassador in charge of rugby league public relations.”Think I should take it?” he asked his club chairman, Bill Gradeley.”I don’t think you ought to, but I think you will,” said Bill.”How do you reckon that?”"You said you would never pull on a shirt to play rugby league for Murdoch, and you did You have no intention of taking this job, but you will. George turns to Ira: “It’s G&S come to fix the show.”

All I have to say is, I called it.Back in May after the Manny Ramirez bombshell, there was a lot of speculation towards his best friend, David Ortiz while they were both teammates on the Boston Red Sox from 2003-2008.Ortiz was in amidst of his worst slump of his major league career and did not hit a home run until May 20. It was safe to start thinking, “what if Ortiz was taking roids too?” which brought me to write, “What if Papi’s juicing…?” back on May 8 (before he hit the home run).

After putting together the best season of his career in 1965 and winning the World Series MVP en route to the Dodgers winning baseball?s crown, Koufax put together perhaps the best individual season his hall-of-fame career would experience.For the second year in a row, and third time in his career, Koufax was clearly baseball?s best pitcher, as he won the pitching Triple Crown (leading the league in wins, ERA, and strikeouts).He tied a career high with 41 games started, and established new career marks with 27 wins and a paltry 1.73 ERA.His career ended at 30 because of injury complications, but he helped the Dodgers capture three World Series crowns before retiring as one of baseball?s best..

It promised to introduce compulsory regulation unless the sector cleaned up its act within two years. Two years on to the day, we have yet more proof there has been no clean-up. Yet suddenly the OFT thinks a voluntary code of conduct will do the job.It’s understandable that the Government is reluctant to give the Financial Services Authority yet another industry to regulate. But while the chief City watchdog already has its hands full, if ever there was a business that needed closer supervision, estate agency is it.For most people, buying a house is the biggest single financial transaction of their life. Everyone else involved in the deal – solicitors, mortgage lenders, surveyors and financial advisers – is strictly regulated, so why should your estate agent possibly be any different?Becoming an estate agent is hardly the toughest challenge There are no exams to pass or standards bodies to satisfy. Judging from Tuesday’s programme, all you need is the ability to forget about your conscience while saying anything to clinch a deal.In a business where agents get very low basic salaries and large commissions if they hit sales targets – plus constant pressure from managers – abuses are inevitable.
And until estate agents are properly policed, expect to see plenty more programmes like Whistleblower.n n n Give your support to a new initiative from MSN, Microsoft’s internet search engine.

Americans have been hearing about the next big thing in British rock, and wanting to believe it, ever since the Beatles made their clamorous stateside debut at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1964. That may help to explain the scepticism, and the disappointment, that has greeted the Arctic Monkeys as they tried to replicate their impact on British pop culture on the other side of the Atlantic
“Overhyped Monkeys,” was the verdict of one critic He was not alone. The Sheffield band made a mediocre impression when they appeared on the cult television comedy show Saturday Night Live, and failed to come over as much more than a pleasingly energetic garage band when they played the showcase performance at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
Nobody thought they were terrible.
Plenty of critics, in Canada and the US, liked their playing, liked their lyrics, liked their energy and honesty Some even said they held the promise of future greatness. But almost none was prepared to say the greatness has already arrived.”The complete package is damn fine. For about two or three tunes,” the Canadian critic Stuart Derdeyn wrote after their Austin show. “Then you start grinding your teeth, and believe you’ve been had by the Brit music machine once again.”Variety had a similar reaction to a show in Los Angeles.
A team of free transfers and cast-offs eventually finished 18th.But the money began to flow in thrilling fashion in the summer of 1993. “Knighton, Knighton, what’s the score?”, taunted the Walsall fans. In the face of scorn, the great man’s pulpitry was seamless and spellbinding, and spoke of geographic potential, 10-year plans and Europe.We supporters waited, to see how results matched the rhetoric He promised a win in his first game A big crowd saw Carlisle score 3, and Walsall get 4. He would make Carlisle United a model club.The world looked on.
They saw a derelict relic of the Third Division North, lost in the wilds of Cumbria; they saw Michael Knighton, on the rebound from Manchester United They called him the Walter Mitty of football. He came in clouds of vainglory, predicting the Premier League within 10 years. “I don’t exactly agree with saying it’s a bit out of date but I would say it’s more easily said than done. The most difficult thing to do is win the ball in the first place.”Against the English behemoths, especially. “Bayfield and to a lesser extent Johnson and also the back row are pretty good at winning the ball, so in a sense England can do what they like,” Dwyer said. “Anyone who can give France quite a bath is a very good side and very hard to handle But by no means impossible.”.
Saturday, 24 August, 1974: Chris Balderstone’s penalty beat Pat Jennings and Spurs at a packed Brunton Park and Carlisle United were top of the First Division. It was a special moment for the homely club that had risen from the lower divisions in the expansive 1960s. Shrewd housekeeping and attractive football had contributed to what Bill Shankly called “the greatest feat in the history of the game”. This was the stuff of dreams, become reality.
The fates were weaving a tragic fall, as if to punish such hubris. For the want of a goalscorer, United were relegated at the end of that season.
Two years later, they were demoted further.Apart from a brief, Bob Stokoe-inspired resurgence in the early 80s, the next 15 years saw a steady decline. The nadir was reached in 1992.Bottom of the entire Football League, with dwindling support and no money to strengthen a desperately poor squad, the club was put on the market. The end was surely nigh.And then came Knighton, of the ball-juggling, alleged financial shenanigans and take-over fiasco at Old Trafford. “That idea, that your back row has to be at every breakdown, is three years out of date,” he said.”Now you are talking about being able to produce ball five or six times and, when you do that, you can’t have the same group of players there all the time.
You are now after multi-skilled players, backs who can react to contact and control the ball, and forwards who can be link players and when they can’t make that contact will be at the next one.”Dwyer, an old antagonist of McGeechan from the Lions tour of 1989, begs to differ. You can’t afford to have knock-ons, throws forwards, kicks into touch, commit offsides or give penalty kicks – because any or all of those would just be giving them the ball.”You also need to utilise your own strengths as a side. There’s nothing like surprise, nothing like speed to be able to demoralise and disorganise the opposition That’s an area where Wales have considerable qualities. England’s physical attributes come into play only when they have the initiative and Saturday’s game will be about teams competing for the initiative.”How different it was in Young’s day. He was Wales’s hooker against England five times from 1969-73 and won the lot. Ian McGeechan, nowadays struggling to lift Northampton off the bottom of the Courage League First Division, won only two of his six for Scotland against England but, more particularly, coached the Scottish side who beat England in the climactic Grand Slam match of 1980.”The major difference now is that they have probably four or five people in positions to make decisions about what is happening to possession, whereas the big weakness of England was the inability to vary their tactical approach under pressure,” McGeechan said.We still do not know – and at this rate may never find out – whether England would be vulnerable to opposition who win enough ball to pull those gargantuan forwards about the field For McGeechan, though, this is not an issue.

The Great Swiss wants two more Wimbledons and one more US Open, which would give him the records for most wins in both places.Having finally won the RG this year, it would be considered less of a priority, except he’d still like to get the recognition of topping Nadal in the final.

Foley Hoag Retained by Bangladesh for Arbitrations Against India and MyanmarOver Boundaries in Bay of Bengal’s Resource-Rich WatersDispute has frustrated Bangladesh’s attempts to access undersea oil andnatural gas; Foley Hoag lead counsel Paul Reichler says Myanmar warships haveintimidated foreign oil companies from drilling in Bangladesh watersWASHINGTON, Oct. The two leadingproducers of multinutrient fertilizers, SumyChimProm and Krymsky Titan, (whichactually advocate the introduction of the antidumping measures), need anestimated 600,000 tons/y of phosphorites and 200,000 tons/y of potash salts.Experts say that if Ukraine takes these protective measures, Russia and Belarusmay retaliate, though the character of their response is not defined yet.
Excess water simply drains away.Which is not only reassuring news for those people who have fallen off oil rigs in storms. Terrible, that is, if your favourite hobby requires the presence of mountainous waves. I was in Norfolk for a ride in a Rigid Inflatable Boat (or RIB). “We like it extreme,” adds Richard, the director of North Sea Training Services, a company which trains about 1,000 people a year in sea-rescue, operating in stormy weather off Britain’s oil rigs. If I had had flocks to graze, I too would have enjoyed grazing them in the Temple of Bel, or the Great Colonnade, the old road where all travelling merchants between the Mediterranean and China once watered their camels and pack-horses.Of course you never actually bought your lands, because there was nobody to buy them from. You never thought about it in those days when there was land for everyone. And of course you know deep down in your hearts that tourism is good for you because it brings in much more cash than goat-herding ever will – assuming that you ever see any of that cash, of course.But at least you had the vision and the good taste to occupy sites that none of us would even know about until the invention of mass tourism And for that, you deserve our thoughts..
Even you hustlers who bring camels for the pleasure of tourists around the Pyramids of Egypt – even you are being excluded from your old stamping grounds, as a penalty for harassing us.I can’t help thinking that you could all use the services of an American lawyer specialising in real estate. But there is nothing particularly complex about the question of where you might prefer to base yourselves. In a squalid little shanty town with erratic electricity and leaky plumbing – or in the warm, dry caves of the rose-red city of the ancient Nabataeans? In a drafty Damascus apartment block with no room for your goats – or commanding the heights of northern Syria in the Basilica of St Simeon, which in the 5th century AD was the largest church in the world? I think we tourists can see what you mean.I dare say you also knew what you were doing when you set your flocks to graze in the wreckage of Palmyra, city of palms, jewel of Queen Zenobia. In fact, what is happening to you is no more than what has already happened to lots of other people.You who spent your winters sheltering in the caves of Petra in Jordan went the same way just a few short years ago Now you live in breeze-block houses down the road.
If you carry on like this there will not be anything left at all for us tourists to come and look at. Then where will we be?You may have spent the last thousand years grazing your flocks in the ruins of early Christian settlements outside Aleppo, but tradition is no guarantee of a long future. You may find this surprising because, as you know, we tourists love to find bedouin among our ruins. It has always been an essential part of the Middle Eastern package.
It is a complaint first made last month, although the hearings ended in July, and it is an absurd distortion of what went on.Yes, there was tough questioning by the Lawrences’ lawyers, but that was their job. However, as Mr Geddis acknowledged to the inquiry, he was bound by the same professional standards as his colleagues on duty. “I should have the courage to see through the reforms that will no doubt come out of the inquiry,” he told the interviewer, who observed that “there’s a near missionary zeal about Sir Paul as he outlines the work he would like to do in 1999″.Other articles have reflected the arguments that Condon advances in private to rebut criticism of his officers. As an example of the supposedly shabby way that witnesses were treated at the inquiry, for instance, he cites the grilling of an off-duty constable, James Geddis, who stopped to help Stephen. He has staked his reputation, and his job, on the inquiry’s outcome, pledging to resign if he is personally criticised. In an interview last week, however, he made it clear that he is not prepared to fall on his truncheon.
On the day the article appeared, Mr Khan let it be known that the family had uncovered yet another potential scandal, namely that the detective in charge of the Lawrence murder squad, Superintendent Albert Patrick, was being investigated in relation to alleged corruption elsewhere in the force.One effect of this disclosure was to take the heat off the two lawyers – although Scotland Yard then produced a trump card, announcing at a hastily arranged press conference that John Grieve, the highly respected head of its racial crimes unit, would be taking over from Mr Patrick.Even the reviled suspects – Neil and Jamie Acourt, David Norris, Gary Dobson and Luke Knight – are jostling to have their say. The inquiry cannot hope to do justice to Neville and Doreen Lawrence – the parents of Stephen, the murdered black teenager – because it was hijacked by political activists hostile to the police and degenerated into a witch hunt intent on rooting out institutional racism.Thus a columnist in The Times declared that the inquiry “has too much of the whiff of Salem to leave the unbiased anything but uneasy”. The Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, denounced the inquiry’s “McCarthyite approach” and warned that “a separate agenda is being foisted on a largely unwitting public”.Is it an accident that the two newspapers are singing from the same hymn sheet? Within the past fortnight, Sir Paul Condon, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, has, at his own request, paid a visit to both The Times and The Daily Telegraph to brief editors and journalists about the Lawrence case.But the propaganda war is not being waged only at the Commissioner’s level. After months of confusion about how to respond to the criticisms heaped upon the Met, the main trade unions – the Police Federation and the Police Superintendents Association – have condemned the inquiry as partial and unfair.Nor are police the sole combatants in this battle for hearts and minds, as was illustrated by events following The Independent’s recent revelation that the Lawrences’ solicitor, Imran Khan, and barrister, Michael Mansfield, will be censured by the inquiry for their role in the private prosecution of the murder suspects. GIVEN THE dreadful failings exposed by the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, the Metropolitan Police might have been expected to be awaiting its findings with some humility. Instead, in an attempt to duck one of the worst roastings of its 170-year history, the Met has embarked on a last-minute propaganda offensive. The aim is to rubbish Sir William Macpherson’s report in advance of publication later this month, and the results so far are a credit to the force’s spin doctors.
Over recent days, a rash of articles has appeared in newspapers traditionally sympathetic to the police, and further pieces are in the pipeline.
The message is always the same. Which makes them soulmates for our own home-grown conservatives.Godfrey Hodgson is the author of `The World Turned Right Side Up’, a history of American conservatism since 1945. And it is one of the reasons why the Republicans are not waving but drowning in the US, even while the economy soars upward.The other, of course, is that Republican conservatives in the United States have made the mistake of listening only to those who share their ideology. Communism may be dead, and socialism discredited, but there was no Reagan revolution.
There is such a thing as society, Margaret, and there is more to political wisdom than getting government off the backs of the people.That is why Conservative governments have been chased from almost every country in western Europe, and why even in eastern Europe people have had second thoughts about the market. They flew back with a strategy, and it worked.So, at least, the matter is remembered in Tory circles.Then there is the legacy of McKinsey, the management consultants, where the Leader of the Opposition received his postgraduate education. Late in 1991, Shaun Woodward, now MP for Oxfordshire West, and then newly appointed as the party’s communications director, flew to Washington with two colleagues to learn the mystic skills of American political use of the media at the feet of the Republican pollster, Richard Wirthlin. What is far more likely is that the British Tories, with exquisite timing, have chosen to publicise their sisters-under-the-skin relationship with the Republicans at precisely the moment when the Grand Old Party, as it likes to call itself, is headed for its worst hiding since Herbert Hoover.Why would the Tory leadership want to do that? Well, for one thing the memory is yet green of how a trip to Washington saved the party’s bacon in 1992. One well-informed Washington political observer told me recently that he thinks the Republican Party could drop 40 seats in the House in 2000. The general prognosis is that they will lose control of the House and could lose the Senate as well.Now, a lot can happen in 21 months.
