Solid Energy's Southland land holdings under review
Solid Energy will review its massive land holdings in Southland as part of decisions due by the end of the year on its plans to develop new industries from lignite, a low grade coal the state-owned coal miner says could be used to make fertiliser and diesel.
Outgoing chairman John Palmer told a media briefing in Wellington the company will look to sell land it doesn't need once it settles on the size and scope of its controversial plans.
"We have for some time been looking to see what options we have in relation to land holdings to cash out some of those," said Palmer. He was announcing writedowns of $151.7 million on underground coal mines and experiments in renewable energy that produced a $40.2 million loss in the year to June 30 and prompted restructuring that could cost 370 jobs above and below ground.
The company spent about $70 million in the mid-2000's buying up mainly farmland in eastern Southland, where it now owns more than 3,000 hectares sitting atop lignite reserves of around 1.35 billion tonnes.
Solid Energy believes the deposits could be worth billions of dollars in exports and import replacement, but the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment has slammed the proposed processes for their high output of greenhouse gases.
However, Solid Energy reaffirmed its lignite intentions this week as part of what chief executive Don Elder described as a "refined" strategy that will concentrate on opencast mining and developing underground coal seam gas extraction and lignite conversion industries.
The company has yet to commit capital to either initiative, but is expecting to consider plans for lignite development by the end of the year.
The decisions come as the company faces pressure to prepare itself for partial privatisation.
Also associated with the land, much of it currently dairy farms, is a substantial shareholding in Fonterra.
Shares in the dairy cooperative are valued in Solid Energy's books at $4.25 million, representing another asset the company could realise to shore up its balance sheet.
Investment analysts have been critical in the past of Solid Energy's "land banking" for access to the lignite resource.
Palmer said the farmland review was "something to be actioned this financial year."
Asked whether it could make a material contribution to Solid Energy's balance sheet woes, he said: "It could be significant, but a lot of it depends on the operating footprint that we think we would make. We can't make those decisions just yet."

HTC statement on AT&T One X bootloader - 'restrictions' prevent unlocking
Just about all of HTC's international phones and tablets released over the past year have been added to its bootloader unlock list -- the list of developer-friendly devices that can have their bootloader security disabled in order to allow enthusiasts to tinker around with custom ROMs and the like. And even a few U.S. network-branded devices have made the cut, including the T-Mobile Sensation 4G and Sprint EVO 3D. But one device that won't be joining them is the new AT&T HTC One X. An official statement from HTC, obtained by MoDaCo, indicates that "restrictions" -- likely imposed by the carrier -- mean that unlike its international cousin, the AT&T LTE version will remain locked up for the foreseeable future.
HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. Since announcing our commitment to unlockable bootloaders, HTC has worked to enable our customers to unlock the bootloader on more than 45 devices over the past six months. In some cases, however, restrictions prevent certain devices from participating in our bootloader unlocking program. Rest assured, HTC is committed to assisting developers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices and we'll continue to unlock additional devices in the future.
We suspect there'll be many a sad panda in the Android development community today, though this news shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The only AT&T device currently on the HTC bootloader unlock list is the ill-fated Jetstream tablet. In the meantime, developers wanting a high-powered HTC phone to get stuck into on AT&T are left with the (more expensive) option of importing the international Tegra 3 version, which though not listed, is officially unlockable.

Beastie Boys rapper's film contributions include star-studded short "Fight For Your Right Revisited."

After a long bout with cancer, the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch died on Friday (May 4). The rapper's death comes as a huge blow to fans of his work with the iconic trio, but he'll also be remembered for the imprint he left on the film world.
While he's widely known as a co-founder of the Brooklyn hip-hop group, MCA was an accomplished director and producer, and his music is featured on an array of popular music soundtracks. The Hollywood community took to Twitter this afternoon to share their thoughts, with Ben Stiller tweeting, "So sad that Adam Yauch is gone. A truly great musician & filmmaker. He stood for integrity as an artist. What a loss. He was a very good man." While Jonah Hill followed up with a heartfelt tweet: "I'm filled with so much sorrow to hear about the world losing Adam Yauch. He was such a beautiful person and artist. My heart is broken."
As fans mourn the loss, MTV News honors his career and achievements on the big screen.
"Fight for Your Right Revisited"
The comedic short was Yauch's most recent writing and direction project and it debuted at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. With as ensemble cast that includes Elijah Wood, Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Susan Sarandon, Will Arnett and Stanley Tucci, the story picks up from the raging party at the close of the trio's 1987 "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)" music video. The sequel follows the Beastie Boys and their delinquent antics as they break into a bodega to steal beer and try to out-breakdance their future selves.
"Awesome: I F---in' Shot That!"
Yauch produced and directed this memorable Beasties documentary, using footage shot by 50 fans at their 2004 Madison Square Garden concert. Audience members were given video cameras and asked to shoot the whole show. The project was meant to re-create for viewers at the home the exhilarating fan-experience of attending a sold-out show. Interestingly enough, MCA's producer credit for the project is under the name of Nathaniel Hornblower, Yauch's "Swiss uncle" and alter ego.
Oscilloscope
In 2008, Yauch made his directorial debut with "Gunnin' for That #1 Spot," a doc about street basketball. The film follows eight of 24 high-school basketball players competing in the Boost Mobile Elite 24 Hoops Classic at Harlem, New York's famed Rucker Park. Of the eight players Yauch chose, six now have careers in the NBA, proving his eye for talent.
"Gunnin' " also marked one of his production company's first efforts. Oscilloscope Laboratories has gone on to distribute a number of well-known works, including "Howl," the Allen Ginsberg biopic starring James Franco, and the Oscar-nominated thriller "We Need to Talk About Kevin," starring Tilda Swinton. The company recently announced that they had acquired the rights to the documentary "The Apple Pushers," which tells the stories of immigrant street vendors who sell fruits and vegetables in poor New York City neighborhoods. The film is narrated by Edward Norton.
Soundtracks
MCA's music with the Beastie Boys has been featured on countless movie soundtracks, including "Baby Mama," "17 Again," J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek," "Shrek Forever After," "Iron Man 2," "Horrible Bosses" and the Hugh Jackman robotic-action flick "Real Steel." They also had hit songs featured in the video games "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" ("Sabotage") and "Tony Hawk's Proving Ground" ("Electric Worm").
Share your condolences for MCA's family, friends and fans in the comments below.
Tune in to MTV tonight at 8 p.m. for "Adam Yauch: Remembering a Beastie Boy," an hour-long special hosted by Sway celebrating the life and career of Adam "MCA" Yauch, including his biggest moments and remembrances from his friends and peers. Check out mtvU now for classic Beastie Boys music videos.

Samsung Galaxy S III international availability
Update: Carphone Warehouse is now offering a pre-order price for the Galaxy S III, at £499.95 -- about the going rate for a high-end smartphone in the UK.
We're just back from Samsung's Galaxy S III unveiling at the 2012 Unpacked event in London, where it's been announced that the phone will go on sale in Europe from May 29. Following the S III's public debut the usual host of carriers and retailers have announced that they'll be stocking the device.
We already knew that O2 UK and Vodafone UK would be getting Samsung's new flagship smartphone, but we can add Three and Orange to that list, as both have today confirmed that they'll range the S III. And Vodafone says it'll exclusively offer the 32GB version in the UK for the first month of its availability. And we've had confirmation from Phones4U and Carphone Warehouse that they'll stock the Galaxy S III, too.
Elsewhere, Samsung will revealed a world tour event that'll take place in several cities around the world. Venues will include Moscow, Beijing, Zurich, Dubai, Seoul, Delhi, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, New York and an unannounced location in South-East Asia.
Stay tuned for the first details on U.S. availability.
