研修事業を手がける株式会社アイアンドオン（横浜市　代表取締役社長伊藤宏之）は、5～10分のすきま時間に、こころとからだの状態に合わせて、手軽にできるヨガのCD「聴く！グナヨーガ」2タイトルを昨年末に発売開始した。

やさしいBGMにのせて、おすすめのポーズや呼吸法を、分かりやすい言葉と心地よい声で語りかけてくれるＣＤ。「肩のコリをほぐす」「落ち込みから抜け出す」「夜、心地よく眠る」など5～10分でやれるヨガが1タイトルに10パターン収録されている。オフィスなどでもできる椅子に座って行うチェアー編と、家などの床で行うフロアー編の2タイトルある。

女性を中心にヨガ人口は現在100万人と言われ、ますますその広がりをみせている。しかし、なかなかヨガのレッスンに行くだけの時間がとれない人も多い。また、レッスンに参加したとしても、ヨガスタジオでの費用は1レッスンで2～3千円と、決して安くはない。ところが、このCDでは、5～10分のすきま時間にヨガができる。もちろん聴くだけ。あるようでなかったCDかもしれないが、そもそもインドで4500年の歴史があるヨガは、始めは師匠の言葉だけで弟子たちが行っていたようだ。

このCDの音声は、月間の生徒数が延べ1500名を超え、ヨガ教師としてテレビ出演もした横浜市を中心に活躍している伊藤玲子先生によるもので、的確で丁寧で癒しの指導が人気を呼んでいる。既に購入した方からは、「落ち着いた素敵な声は、聞いているだけでも癒される。」「心も身体もほぐれる感じ」などの感想があり、ヨガを全くやったことがなくても、ポーズ写真入りブックレットも付いているので安心して行える。
時間を大切にしたいが、何か手軽にストレスを和らげたいという方々にお勧めのCDと言えるかもしれない。1月31日まで、CD発売キャンペーンを実施中。

CD「聴く！グナヨーガ～チェアー～」収録時間：52分　1500円（税別）

“The universal growth and acceptance of FTC can be tied to its continuing leadership and success in STEM-based education.”

FIRST Tech Challenge is a widely-accessible robotics program for grades 7 through 12 that promotes project-based learning. Using a proven formula that engages student interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), FTC is one of the fastest-growing programs of its kind in the world. FTC is highly-scalable and easily integrates into the classroom with measurable results. FIRST teams learn to engage business, engineering and science professionals, and working together, become a focal point of the community in which they live.

Using a combination of motors, controllers, wireless communications, metal gears, and sensors, including infrared tracking (IR) and magnet seeking, about 25,000 students will program their robots to operate in both autonomous and driver-controlled modes on a field with a center rack. The object of the game is to score more points than an opponent by placing plastic rings on to pegs on a center rack. Teams will be challenged to detect special “weighted” rings to earn them bonus points. RING IT UP!^SM matches will last two minutes and 30 seconds, and begin with a 30-second autonomous period followed by a two-minute driver-controlled period. The final 30 seconds of the driver-controlled period is the “end game,” where each team can score bonus points by lifting up their Partner’s robot off the game floor to a maximum height of 24 inches.

“FIRST Tech Challenge empowers students to think like engineers and scientists,” said Dean Kamen, FIRST founder and President of DEKA Research & Development Corporation. “There is no doubt in my mind that FTC students will solve society’s greatest challenges by employing the same disciplines and critical thinking that they’re bringing to this year’s FTC game, RING IT UP!^SM

“Hands-on, project-based learning has been the hallmark of FTC from its inception,” said Ken Johnson, Acting Chief Program Officer and Director, FIRST Tech Challenge. “The universal growth and acceptance of FTC can be tied to its continuing leadership and success in STEM-based education.”

During the 2012-2013 FTC season, an estimated 2,500 FIRST Tech Challenge 2,500 teams will compete in events in the U.S., Australia, China, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan—and new this year—Spain and Germany. The RING IT UP!^SM season Qualifying and Championship events will culminate with the FIRST Championship, April 24-27, 2013, at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Mo. The 2012-2013 FIRST Tech Challenge Sponsors include Official Program Sponsor for the FIRST Tech Challenge, Rockwell Collins, and FTC CAD and Collaboration Sponsor, PTC^®.

“Instead of treating the entire 2000 acres of a lake at $450/acre, you can pinpoint problems and only treat 100 acres”

Baker’s company, Blue Water Satellite, works with various state, municipal, and government agencies, as well as utilities, oil and gas companies, and other organizations responsible for managing water bodies. “Our images allow responsible organizations to get an immediate assessment of water conditions right from their desktop without having to dispatch sampling teams,” states Baker. “And unlike physical sampling, we provide a complete picture of what’s happening across the entire body of water.”

Baker believes his image technology can help prevent events like the Pigeon Lake incident. “We are a powerful new tool for water body managers to use for assessment, early detection of problems, and the development of remediation strategies.”

Using BWS images, organizations can “treat” only those portions of the water body showing problems. “Instead of treating the entire 2000 acres of a lake at $450/acre, you can pinpoint problems and only treat 100 acres,” continued Baker.

Most of BWS images provide a resolution of 5 samples per acre (although they do offer higher resolution). When this information is overlaid with GIS data, remediation teams can be dispatched to exact coordinates for treatment that is cost and time-efficient.

In addition, BWS can provide historical images of the lake dating back to 1984 allowing their clients to trace the origins of the problem and determine rates of contaminant growth.

“Humana is proud to provide Community Medical Centers with the resources they need to treat and improve the quality of life of additional patients.”

The past year, Community Regional Medical Center, one of three acute-care hospitals that are part of the Community Medical Centers system, had approximately 122,700 emergency visits from nearly 69,000 patients. Of these patients, close to 950 had nine or more visits, accounting for more than 16,450 visits. That means 1.3 percent of patients accounted for 13.4 percent of the visits.

Community Regional Medical Center implemented the Community Connections program in September 2009 to address the complex psychosocial issues of patients, which included homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness, and the lack of access to a primary care provider. The goal of the program is to provide intensive case management and outreach to reduce frequency of visits to the emergency room, reduce inpatient length of stay and readmissions, and assist patients in improving their health and quality of life.

With the funding from Humana, the program was able to combine a critical component of health care delivery specifically servicing patients with diabetes. A Community Connections medical social worker and community outreach specialist work in collaboration with a nurse practitioner to provide outreach, psychosocial assessments, depression/anxiety screening, and monitoring and support. The program uses a team-based, comprehensive, and coordinated care approach in efforts of addressing the needs of the patient that guide them in improving their lives and managing their chronic disease.

The Community Connections program also utilized this opportunity to increase office space using an existing building across from the Emergency Department to house staff offices and a conference room for intra-agency meetings. The office space also affords the program a place to meet with patients discharged from the hospital to complete assessments, develop care plans, and provide referrals and resources to the community.

“The Emergency Department is not equipped to address patients’ chronic concerns,” said Caine Christensen, Community Connections Project Manager. “Patients benefit significantly from more appropriate resources in the community such as a primary care physician, substance treatment, and social services. The assistance from Humana has strengthened the staffing resources and quality of services that Community Regional is committed to providing to our community.”

“Humana is committed to helping people achieve lifelong well-being,” said Virginia Judd, Executive Director for the Humana Foundation. “We are delighted to support the important work accomplished by Community Medical Centers as they continue to improve the health and well-being of the Fresno community.”

In addition, the Humana funding could allow the program to add four staff members to serve an additional 15 patients each year.

“Treating chronic disease is a team effort and requires coordination of care and patient education,” said Mark El-Tawil, Western Division Leader for Humana’s Senior Products. “Humana is proud to provide Community Medical Centers with the resources they need to treat and improve the quality of life of additional patients.”

“These dedicated VA and HUD employees are committed to make a positive difference in the lives of our homeless Veterans”

“These dedicated VA and HUD employees are committed to make a positive difference in the lives of our homeless Veterans,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “They have been implementing a strategy, based on prevention and rescue, that has been effective and moves us closer to our goal of eliminating homelessness among Veterans by 2015.”

The awards, known as the “Sammies,” are sponsored annually by the Partnership for Public Service to honor outstanding federal employees whose contributions are critical to the health, safety and well-being of Americans.

Leading the VA section of the team was Susan A. Angell, Ph.D., executive director of VA’s homeless Veterans initiative. Other VA team members were Lisa Pape, national director, Veterans health administration’s (VHA) homeless programs, Pete Dougherty, associate executive director of VA’s homeless Veteran initiative and Vincent Kane, national director VHA national center on homelessness. The HUD team was led by Acting Assistant Secretary Mark Johnston, and included Laure Rawson and Ann Oliva.

The two departments were cited for a program that combines HUD vouchers for Veterans to rent privately-owned housing, with VA case management services that include health care, mental health treatment, vocational assistance and job development. Since 2009, more than 47,000 Veterans have benefited from the HUD-VA Supportive Housing program.

Under another major program, VA awarded in July $100 million in grants to 151 community agencies across the nation to help about 42,000 at-risk Veterans keep their current housing.

According to the 2011 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report to Congress, homelessness among Veterans declined by nearly 12 percent from 2010.

In 2009, Secretary Shinseki committed VA, which provides substantial hands-on assistance directly to homeless Veterans, to end Veteran homelessness by 2015. The program puts new emphasis upon preventing homelessness by targeting at-risk Veterans for mental health care, substance abuse intervention and employment assistance.

This report updates and replaces the prior criteria report with the title 'Global Rating Criteria for Rental Fleet ABS,' dated Sept. 15, 2011.

The report presents Fitch's analytical approach to rating Global Rental Fleet ABS and outlines the unique features of these transactions. Additionally, the report details key rating drivers associated with Global Rental Fleet as detailed below.

Key Rating Drivers

Review of RFC/Servicer Operations: Fitch's analysis includes a qualitative review of the RFC/servicer's operations, as well as a review of any backup servicers/liquidation agents in place in the transaction and its ability to effectively replace the RFC and conduct a fleet liquidation in an orderly, efficient manner. Fitch's assessment of other counterparty-related risks is addressed in Fitch's 'Counterparty Criteria for Structured Finance Transactions' (Counterparty Criteria).

Collateral Analysis: Fitch analyzes the collateral characteristics and relative diversity of the pool backing a transaction, including: vehicle make, model, and segment concentrations; manufacturer/brand mix; age of vehicles; and geographic concentrations. Based on the diversity designation, Fitch applies different levels of stress to the expected liquidation proceeds of the vehicles. Pools that are not diverse from a manufacturer/model/segment perspective may warrant a rating cap as described in Fitch's Rating Cap Criteria.

Analysis of Vehicle Value Risks: Fitch analyzes the risk of collateral value depreciation prior to its liquidation in a bankruptcy scenario and the residual risk of realizing mark-to-market losses on the actual sale of the collateral. This analysis is driven by historical vehicle depreciation rates and the historical vehicle value volatility observed in the wholesale vehicle market.

Macroeconomic Risks: The economic environment can have a material impact on rental fleet ABS ratings. Fitch takes into consideration the strength of the economy, as well as future expectations, by assessing key macroeconomic indicators, such as unemployment.

Structural Analysis: Fitch analyzes the structural protections afforded to the notes by stressing the liquidation timing, vehicle depreciation and disposition losses, and expected carrying costs of the transaction at various rating levels.

Legal Analysis: Fitch's legal analysis includes a review of the transaction's legal structure and opinions to verify, among other things, the legal isolation of the assets from the originator, the legal transfer of the assets to the issuing vehicle, and the tax status of the issuing vehicle.

The rating is based on BNS's Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'AA-', the Discontinuity Cap (D-Cap) of 3 (moderate-high risk) and the program's contractual asset percentage (AP) of 95%.

In terms of sensitivity of the covered bonds' rating, the 'AAA' rating would be expected to be maintained, - all else being equal - even if one of the following occurred: (i) the IDR was downgraded by up to two notches to 'A'; or (ii) the D-Cap fell by two categories to 1 (very high risk); or (iii) the AP level Fitch takes into account in its analysis increased up to 95.3%, which is the breakeven level in line with the 'AAA' rating.

The program's contractual AP of 95% also supports a 'AAA' covered bonds' rating on a PD basis, which is possible as the D-Cap allows an uplift of 3 notches above BNS' 'AA-' IDR. As Fitch considers the program to be in wind-down, since new covered bond legislation prohibits issuance out of programs with insured mortgage assets, the agency takes only the contractually committed AP into account in its analysis.

The D-Cap of 3 (moderate-high risk) is driven by the weakest risk assessment of the five D-Cap components, which is for the systemic alternative management component in line with all other Canadian programs. All of the other D-Cap components are assessed as moderate risk from a discontinuity point of view. For more details, reference 'Fitch Places BACBI's Covered Bonds on Negative Watch; Assigns US and Canadian D-Caps & Outlooks' published on Sept. 12, 2012.

As of May 25, 2012, the cover pool consisted of 135,998 first-lien, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)-insured residential mortgage loans totaling CAD20.2 billion with a weighted-average (WA) original LTV of 77.6% (as calculated by Fitch Ratings). In an 'AAA' scenario, Fitch has calculated a cumulative weighted-average frequency of foreclosure (WAFF) of 12.4% and a weighted-average recovery rate (WARR) of 96.5%, which reflects the benefit of the CMHC insurance on the loans.

If CMHC lost the full backing of the Government of Canada, or if the Government of Canada's rating suffered a downgrade, Fitch would revise the credit given to the insurance provided by CMHC on the mortgage loans in the cover pool. This could lead to weaker liquidity assumed for the mortgage assets as well as higher credit risk expectations for the cover assets. As a result, the D-Cap would likely decrease and the AP supporting the current covered bonds rating would likely decrease.

The weighted average life (WAL) of the assets in the cover pool is approximately 2.5 years, compared to the WAL of 2.9 years for the covered bonds. Interest rate and currency risks on the covered bonds are hedged via swaps with BNS as counterparty with collateral posting and replacement provisions in line with Fitch criteria.

The rating action also incorporates a revision of refinancing spread assumptions, which are used to estimate the stressed sale price for the cover pool that an alternative manager would liquidate in the aftermath of an issuer default. The net present value (NPV) of cover pools is determined by discounting the value of the assets at a rate reflective of the revised refinancing spreads. The NPV of the assets is consistent with previous assumptions given the credit loss protection on the assets provided by the CMHC insurance which insulates a potential buyer from borrower default in the event of increasing stress in the housing market.

The outstanding covered bonds total CAD15.79 billion and are guaranteed by Scotia Covered Bond Trust, a special purpose company established for the program with restricted permitted activities.

The Fitch AP in line with the covered bond rating will be affected by, among others, the profile of the cover assets relative to outstanding covered bonds, which can change over time, even in the absence of new issuances. Therefore it cannot be assumed to remain stable over time.

Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

“Alcoa’s commitment to not just meeting but exceeding the industry standard for economic, environmental and social responsibilities is a long-standing priority of this company”

“Alcoa’s commitment to not just meeting but exceeding the industry standard for economic, environmental and social responsibilities is a long-standing priority of this company,” said Kevin Anton, Alcoa Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer. “Sustainability is a part of everything we do, from the way we run our operations, to the innovative material solutions that we are bringing to the world; making transportation more fuel efficient, buildings greener, packaging infinitely recyclable, and consumer electronics lighter and less energy intensive. We are honored to have been named to this world-renowned sustainability index for the last 11 years.”

The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) includes the top 10 percent of the largest 2,500 companies in the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. The Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America) comprises the top 20 percent of the 600 largest companies from Canada and the United States.

The company improved on its year-over-year score in all three Dow Jones key dimensions – Economic, Environmental and Social. Performance highlights include:

• Economic: Integrated sustainability metrics into our supplier assessment process to drive a more sustainable supply chain.
• Environmental: Achieved a 23% improvement in greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity in the Alcoa Global Primary Products business between 2005 and 2011, surpassing the Company’s 2020 target of a 20% improvement. In light of this, the Company set a new goal to achieve a 30% GHG intensity improvement by 2020 and a 35% improvement by 2030, from a 2005 baseline.
• Social: Alcoa and Alcoa Foundation invested US$38 million in community programs in 2011, and a record 56% of Alcoa employees volunteered in their communities during Alcoa’s 2011 Worldwide Month of Service.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are made up of global, regional and country industry leaders in terms of sustainability. Selection to the DJSI is based on an in-depth analysis of a company’s economic, environmental and social aspects with a focus on long-term development of corporate value. The benchmarks set by the indexes allow investors to use them as an important guide when assessing a company’s sustainability portfolio.

--$30 million variable rate unlimited tax (ULT) school building bonds, series 2006-B.

The district switched its SBPA to Wells Fargo from Bank of America effective Aug. 24, 2012. At that time Fitch upgraded the short-term rating on the bonds to 'F1+' from 'F1'.

In addition, Fitch affirms the 'AA' underlying rating on outstanding parity ULT bonds.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

SECURITY

The bonds are secured by an unlimited ad valorem property tax pledge on parity with the district's outstanding ULT bonds. The bonds also carry a guarantee from the Texas Permanent School Fund (PSF), whose bond guaranty program is rated 'AAA' by Fitch.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

ROBUST FINANCIAL CUSHION: Strong financial performance, aided by conservative budgeting practices, has yielded ample reserves and liquidity.

DIVERSE ECONOMY; EXPANDING TAV: The district's growing tax base benefits from its proximity to the healthy Dallas-Fort Worth (DWF) metropolitan area economy which continues to gain employment, population and income.

NEGLIGIBLE DEBT FLEXIBILITY: The district is highly leveraged as a result of the rapid enrollment growth that occurred over the past decade. Key debt ratios are high, amortization is slow, and a high debt service tax rate - which is very close to the state's statutory test for new debt issuance - limits capital flexibility.

BANK BOND TERMS MANAGEABLE: The terms of the SBPA governing liquidity support of the bonds could pressure the district's finances if the bonds were to become bank bonds for a sustained time period or in the event of acceleration. However, Fitch believes that district's strong financial profile and implied market access to take out such bonds with long-term debt mitigates some of these concerns.

CREDIT PROFILE

BANK MODE PROVISIONS

Fitch has reviewed the interest rates, default and acceleration provisions, and the amortization schedule specified in the documents governing the bonds. Under the terms of the SBPA, the district would be required to amortize potential bank bonds over a five-year period at the prescribed bank interest rate. The condensed amortization schedule and higher interest cost when in bank mode could pressure the district's finances, but Fitch believes the district's robust liquidity and implied market access to take out such bonds with long-term debt mitigate some concern about the potential pressures. At present, there are no bank bonds outstanding.

Acceleration of payment on the bank bonds would occur in the events of default specified in the SBPA, namely downgrades to the PSF (to below 'A/'A2') or the debt of the district if the PSF is not in effect (to below 'A-'/'A3). However, the occurrence of credit related acceleration events are sufficiently mitigated by the high rating levels of the PSF and district parity obligations.

SOLID FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, RESERVES, & LIQUIDITY

Financial performance has remained strong despite the continuing capital and operating pressures associated with rapid enrollment growth. The district outperformed its 2011 deficit budget in the areas of attendance-based state aid and local property tax revenues to produce an $8.2 million operating surplus after transfers (4.6% of spending). The unrestricted general fund balance (committed, assigned and unassigned balances per GASB 54) rose to a robust $63.2 million, or 34% of operating expenditures and transfers out, and year-end cash & investments exceeded five months of operating costs.

State budget cuts in fiscal 2012 resulted in the district receiving $11.5 million less in state formula-funding than anticipated but management reduced spending sufficiently to adopt a balanced budget and now expects to add at least $12 million to fund balance (a 19% increase). The original budget eliminated 7% of personnel via attrition, froze salaries, and reduced departmental spending. Approximately $4 million in one-time federal aid was prudently excluded from the operating budget, and this revenue, together with better than forecast property tax collections, other federal aid, and ongoing cost savings, triggered the significant surplus after transfers. The 2012 surplus would mark the third consecutive year of positive results and available fund balance above 30% of expenditures.

The fiscal 2013 $197 million general fund budget increases spending 4.5% from the prior-year budget and calls for a modest $2.8 million use of fund balance, in part due to the second year of state budget cuts and a 3% pay-raise for staff. Fitch draws comfort from the district's history of outperforming budget expectations and still-ample reserves net of the forecast draw-down.

HIGH DEBT RATIOS STEM FROM ENROLLMENT-DRIVEN CAPITAL NEEDS

The district's debt profile is Fitch's key credit concern. Overall debt ratios and the annual debt burden on the budget are high while the pace of principal amortization is slow, reflecting the district's fast-growth environment and related needs to meet facility demands while attempting to limit the effect on existing taxpayers.

Overall debt levels comprise a very high 10.7% of market value and $7,887 per capita and are slightly higher when accreted interest from capital appreciation bonds (CABs) is included. The high overall debt load is a function of the direct debt, and large amount of debt from the city of Denton and various fresh water supply districts. Debt service also consumes a high 20% of the fiscal 2012 operating and debt service fund budgets. The district's debt portfolio contains about 18% of mostly hedged variable rate debt, which Fitch views as an acceptable range for the 'AA' rating category. However, given the high debt service burden this concern is somewhat elevated.

TIGHT MARGIN ON DEBT SERVICE TAX RATE LIMITS CAPITAL FLEXIBILITY

Of additional concern to Fitch is the district's limited flexibility in meeting future capital needs due to a debt service tax rate ($0.49 per $100 TAV) that is very near the state's statutory limit for new debt issuance ($0.50). The district has $76 million in remaining debt authorization for new campuses and officials do not plan to issue this debt unless it can be supported by the current tax rate. The tax rate cap for new money debt somewhat mitigates the risk of sharp increases in debt levels over the near term but may also constrain the district's ability to meet capital needs, absent sufficient tax base growth.

DIVERSE & GROWING LOCAL ECONOMY ENHANCED BY PROXIMITY TO DFW METRO AREA

Denton ISD is located approximately 35 miles north of Dallas and Fort Worth in Denton County, at the convergence of Interstate Highways 35 East and 35 West. Proximity to the DFW metro area and the access provided by major highway, air, and rail transportation have attracted a variety of industry and business to the area, and an expanding service sector and manufacturing development continues to diversify the district's mostly residential tax base.

Education and health services top the list of major area employers, offering a measure of stability during the economic downturn. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University are located in the city of Denton. Area employment indicators are strong, evidenced by continuing employment and labor force gains in the city and county. The Denton County unemployment rate improved to 6.8% from 7.6% for the 12-month period ending June 2012 and has trended consistently below area, state, and national rates.

TAX-BASE GROWTH CONTINUING

The district's TAV grew by a 2.4% compound annual growth rate from 2008-2012 and is up nearly 4% for fiscal 2013. While growth remains significantly slower than the double-digit rate seen prior to 2009, Fitch believes prospects for continuing modest growth are positive given the development occurring within the district, the stable housing market, and growing regional economy.

Population and enrollment gains, which were significant over the past decade, are also continuing. Enrollment has increased annually by about 1,000 students (5%) over the past five years to just under 25,000, and the district projects continuing enrollment gains at between 800-1,000 annually over the next five years.

Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

In addition to the sources of information identified in Fitch's Tax-Supported Rating Criteria, this action was additionally informed by information from CreditScope, University Financial Associates, S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, IHS Global Insight, Zillow.com, National Association of Realtors, and Texas Municipal Advisory Council.
