In the battle for the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series Championship, it's as simple as 3-2-1.
There are three races to go, including two this weekend at the Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston that will determine which driver with finish first at the end of the season after the MAVTV 500 on Oct. 19 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.
For the most part, it's a five-driver battle for the championship. With double the points available this weekend, the battle for the title could take an unexpected turn.
Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves of Team Penske has a 49-point lead over two-time IZOD IndyCar Series champion and 2008 Indy 500 winner Scott Dixon of Target Chip Ganassi Racing. Three wins during an eight-day streak in July vaulted Dixon into serious championship contention when he won at Pocono Raceway and then swept the double-header at Toronto. If Dixon can repeat that accomplishment, it could put tremendous pressure on Castroneves as he attempts to win his first series title.
But don't overlook Simon Pagenaud.
The popular French driver is third in the standings, 70 points behind Castroneves, followed by a pair of drivers from Andretti Autosport – Marco Andretti, 71 out of the lead, and defending series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, 74 points out.
Pagenaud isn't going to let such a large points deficit deter his intention of challenging for a championship beginning with the double-header this weekend around the streets Houston.
"I think the championship is the goal," Pagenaud said. "We go racing to win races. We're fortunate that we're in a really good position. The team has been tremendous. The HP car has been really fast on street circuits lately. We scored two wins. I don't think it's time to give up. We're going to try as hard as we can. It's going to be difficult. We're quite a ways down on Helio (Castroneves). But we're going to try. If you don't try, then there's no reason to go racing. I'm excited about it. I think it's going to be a great weekend."
Castroneves has recorded 12 consecutive top-10 finishes and has completed every lap of every race in 2013. That is the major reason why he has led the points since June.
After having a month-long break, Castroneves is eager to get back up to speed.
"Wow, it seems like a long time since we last raced in Baltimore a few weeks ago," Castroneves said. "It's been tough waiting, but it will make it even better once we get on track Friday in Houston. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. It will be good to race in the Shell V-Power Pennzoil Ultra Chevrolet in the home of Shell and Pennzoil, especially since they are sponsoring the race, as well.
"We know we need to have a strong weekend with two races in front of us and a close battle for the championship. We are focused and ready, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the new Reliant Park street course and see what we can do."
But there is an ominous statistic regarding Castroneves' championship quest.
The driver who has led the championship with three races to go has failed to win the championship in three of the last four seasons. Only Dario Franchitti in 2011 won the title when he led with three to go. The driver who has led the championship with two races to go has failed to win the championship in five of the last seven seasons. Only Sam Hornish Jr. (2006) and Dixon (2008) won the title when they led the penultimate round.
But this is the largest 1-2 point differential since 2008. The average point deficit with three to go since 2006 is 24.8 points.
Pagenaud is one of the few drivers in the IndyCar Series field that has previously competed at Houston. He finished fifth in his only start at Reliant Park in 2007. Justin Wilson finished fifth and 10th in his two previous starts at Reliant Park. Will Power of Team Penske is a former pole winner at Houston.
"I don't know if it does (given him an advantage)," Pagenaud said. "It was quite a while ago. I remember the track being all concrete and quite bumpy, which should be similar to Baltimore. I'm hopeful that we're not going to have to change the HP car too much to be fast. So I'm quite excited about it. There isn't much testing on a doubleheader. You want to unload and be fast straightaway. I really hope that's going to be the case so we have a good chance to fight back in the championship."
Pagenaud won the last race in the series, the Grand Prix of Baltimore in early September. It was his second victory this season after he won the second double-header race at Detroit in June.
So what have been the keys to Pagenaud's breakout season?
"I think it's a little bit of everything," he said. "As a driver, you get to understand the racing, the racecraft, how aggressive you need to be, when you need to be aggressive, when not, when you can shave some time. So whether it's in laps, out laps, the way you park the car in the pit box, those details are so important in INDYCAR nowadays. The competition is very, very intense right now.
"Every little detail and more experience are always going to help. I drive better. I also have a better car. My whole team is broken in, I should say. We've been the same group for two years now, and I think it's just paying off really well."
It's been an outstanding IndyCar Series season with a variety of winners, including first-time winners such as Takuma Sato, James Hinchcliffe, Charlie Kimball and Pagenaud. And while Pagenaud has experienced the highs and lows of racing, he has remained calm and steady.
"You go through ups and downs during the season," Pagenaud said. "It's a long season. It's not just 10 races; it's almost 20. There are a lot of points available, a lot of points wasted also in bad races. The beginning of the season was tough, but it helped us as a team to just focus on what was essential. We bounced back. Lately we've been the strongest team, strongest combination with the most points scored in the last three. We just need to keep going. I think we're going to keep the ball rolling. I'm just very, very excited right now. So excited, anxious to drive, and I've got nothing to lose. It's very simple for me."
This weekend will conclude the road-and street-course portion of the schedule, and the series will crown its champion on the big oval in California – a massive, high-banked 2-mile track with all left-hand turns.
Different circuits. But the focus remains the same.
"My approach is pretty simple -- I just need to keep on pushing as hard as possible," Pagenaud said. "I think as long as we've got a fast car that we've had lately, I think we have a good chance, a good chance to contend for wins. I want to try to win at least one in Houston. If Houston is a good weekend, that will be our chance for the championship. My approach is simple. It's to attack, and I've got nothing to lose, unlike Helio, who has a lot more to lose than me. It's really simple on my side. I can put pressure on him; I can be aggressive. I kind of like the position of a hunter.
"Fontana is a great oval. I really love it. It's very banked. There are a lot of different lines you can use on the racetrack. It's perfect for passing, perfect for racing. It's going to be a long, long race in the night. So cars are going to change throughout the 500 miles. It's a track that I really like. So I'm positive about it. It's somewhere we were competitive last year. We were pretty good at the test. Same thing, just stay out of trouble at the beginning, but I'm going to have to move forward and stay at the front to have a chance in the end."
In many ways the spotlight has been on Castroneves and Dixon ever since July, and Pagenaud has gone relatively unnoticed.
He wouldn't want to have it any other way.
"I enjoy my position right now," Pagenaud said. "I enjoy it because nobody saw us coming. That's pretty enjoyable. It's not like we've not been competitive, but the tendency is to look at the big teams, the big names. I'm proud to be part of the HP team and show that we've put our head down and we're here. We're within the mix between one Penske, one Ganassi, and two Andrettis. I'm very proud of the team.
"Whether we finish fifth in the championship or first, I'm very proud of them. I'm actually excited to be here seen as the underdog. But I really don't feel like one. I feel like I have all my chances. It's up to me to drive as hard as possible this weekend and score maximum points to catch up on any of them.
"I'm usually quite pragmatic. I'm usually the one that is going to calculate every scenario. I feel fortunate we're in such good position. I honestly think if I only worry about myself, this is going to be the best thing I can do. Go forward, think about my car, think about how much I can extract out of it, and try to go for the win. That's all I can do. I can't really think about being second or Helio being third or Helio crashing and me winning. I can only go try to win; otherwise there are too many factors in play.
"I would totally say that's exactly my approach."

Apple Escalates Its Patent War With Samsung
If you thought the $1 billion courtroom victory over Samsung satisfied Apple's appetite for patent lawsuits against the South Korean electronics giant, think again. Apple has asked a judge to add one of Samsung's most recent products to another lawsuit that's scheduled to go to trial in 2014.
Apple wants to add the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which went on sale in August, to a patent-infringment lawsuit, Bloomberg reports. It's also lumped in Android 4.1 software (aka "Jelly Bean") into the same case. Although that software is made by Google, Samsung includes it on its latest Android devices, although the Note 10.1 in particular hasn't received its promised Jelly Bean update yet.
Apple may have a tougher time proving the Galaxy Note 10.1 infringes on the iPad, since Samsung differentiates its tablet with an accompanying stylus, something the iPad doesn't have. However, with regard to general tablet functionality, the Note does work similar to the Galaxy Tab, which was found to have infringed on Apple's patents in the previous lawsuit.
If the judge allows Jelly Bean to be included in the case, it will mark the first time a Google-managed product is directly targeted in a patent case brought forward by Apple. Apple's lawyers said the only Jelly Bean device it wants to add to the lawsuit is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which debuted in late 2011.
However, it wants to add 17 products to the lawsuit in total. Samsung, in its counterclaims, only wanted to add the iPhone 5 to the case. The judge hasn't yet ruled on Apple's request.
The request to add more recent products in a previously filed case highlights one of the major issues with patent lawsuits: that the advance of technology often outpaces the legal system. Even though Apple secured a major financial victory in its previous case against Samsung, most of the devices that were affected were no longer current.
Do you think Apple has a case in saying the Galaxy Note 10.1 and Jelly Bean infringe on its patents? Let us know in the comments.

When I first watched this film, I had no idea about any of the details of Watergate whatsoever. I mean, I was a burnout in high school, I barely paid attention. I knew the broad strokes, and that was it. Richard Nixon was impeached for spying on and sabotaging his political rivals and it all came to light because a handful of burglars got caught breaking in to National Democratic Headquarters, which were located in an apartment complex known as "Watergate". The story was revealed due to a couple of reporters at the Washington Post, Woodward and Bernstein. That's it, that's all I knew. I didn't even know Woodward and Bernstein's first names. Just the bare minimum (I mean, I think ANY American should know that much, no?).
Now, of course, I know more than your average person. Eventually my love for this movie would lead me to read the book, and I'm a sucker nowadays for anything related to Watergate on PBS or the History Channel or wherever. Which is a nice compliment to the flick in and of itself, right? That my love for the movie led me to explore its subject more deeply, yada yada. But that's not where I'm going with this.
What I'm saying is, I fell in love with this movie without having any idea what the %#$& was going on.
Those of you who've seen the movie know what I'm talking about. This isn't an easy movie to follow completely, by any stretch of the imagination. It was released almost immediately after Watergate (within two years of Nixon's impeachment), so the movie-going public at that time was still intimately familiar with all the players. For the theatre audience (and during this movie's time, that's all that movies were made for), these people who were being discussed were freshly coming off of being the elected officials who ruled the White House, and then a three-year stint as stars of the trial of the century (pre OJ). They didn't need to be told who Bob Haldeman was. They knew.
As a result, you get a movie that takes a lot for granted. Including the intelligence of the viewer. It moves at a rapid fire pace, and the investigation often leaps from step to step with only the smallest bit of explanation of how they got from A to B. Names are bandied about at a breakneck pace. Dozens of them.
LOL. I know. At this point in this post it sounds like I'm NOT recommending this movie.
Here's the thing though. It doesn't matter that you don't know who Bob Haldeman was, you'll figure out enough of what's going on via context, and then the rest of the movie will work its magic on you. By the time the credits roll you'll be saying, that was so awesome, even though you still couldn't tell me what John Ehrlichman's title was at the White House. I've explained the level of complexity in the story as way of illustrating all the challenges this movie overcomes. What winds up happening isn't that the complexity overwhelms the viewer – the viewer picks up on the necessary elements and enjoys the movie, while the Watergate-knowledgeable viewer winds up having a film full of details and minutiae to cherish.
How do they do it? By focusing on the excitement of it. The adventure. All the President's Men is a thriller, people!! This is the greatest detective story of all time. Woodward and Bernstein were on a quest for the truth, and the truth was being protected by the most powerful people on the planet, with the full force of the government behind them!
Woodward and Bernstein slowly come together as a team, and then slowly come to realize exactly what they're dealing with. Their suspicion grows. Evidence mounts.
But as the story builds, so does the pressure. The stakes. Other newspapers are racing them to find the truth and to break the story first. People are trying to discredit them. At one point, their editor, Ben Bradlee (portrayed by Jason Robards, who won an Academy Award for this role) tell them, "We're under a lot of pressure, you know, and you put us there. Nothing's riding on this except the, uh, first amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country. Not that any of that matters, but if you guys fuck up again, I'm going to get mad. Goodnight."
He wasn't exaggerating, either.
Had the Nixon Whitehouse succeeded in blocking their investigation and remained in power, who knows what the consequences would have been for the press. It certainly wouldn't have boded well for the Washington Post, as Nixon most assuredly would have done everything in his power to bring them down.
Nowhere in this movie are the stakes more clearly portrayed than with Bob Woodward's contact, "Deep Throat". In recent years, "Deep Throat" has been revealed to have been FBI Associate Director Mark Felt. But at the time, he refused to go on the record, insisting on meeting in dark parking garages in the middle of the night, always wondering if Woodward had been followed. As portrayed by Hal Holbrook, he was paranoid, secretive, cautious. His trepidations infect the entire film. You got the feeling that not only were the investigators on to something BIG, they were on to something DANGEROUS.
The duo of Woodward and Berstein are undeterred, however, and they chip away dilligently at the walls that the President's men have put up around him. Slowly the story comes together. They make cold calls, they track down checks, they go door to door. They catch a lucky break here and a lucky break there. At other times they push the boundaries of decency in order to get at the story, incuding asking women to see people for information, and barging their way into offices and homes.
But it pays off. Eventually, the reluctance of the of witnesses break down and people begin to tell what they know. Of particular note is a scene where Berstein gets a bookkeeper for the committee to re-elect the President to tell him what she knows. Jane Alexander was nominated for an academy award for her nervous, reluctant portrayal of a woman afraid to tell the truth.
Eventually, even "Deep Throat" cracks.
"Get out your notebook, there's more"
This was an incredible chapter in our countries history. Two common reporters exposed a corruption of power within the most insulated government sanctuary in existence. They pressed on towards the truth in spite of threats to their reputations, their jobs, and eventually, their lives.
Due to their efforts, the 37th President of the United States of America, Richard Milhous Nixon, resigned the Presidency.
This movie captures all of the details, the drama, and the excitement perfectly. It features an incredible cast at the height of their powers. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director), and won four. It clocks in at number 77 on AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies… 10th Anniversary Edition. It's a great story, delivered in a great movie.
It's definitely a "Movie That Everyone Should See".

We're working to transform how we light our world.
Lighting accounts for nearly 6% of global CO2 emissions. A global switch to energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) technology could save over 1,400 million tons of CO2 and avoid the construction of 1,250 power stations.
Following the historic global Paris Agreement, effective climate actions are needed. With savings of up to 50-70%, LED lighting has been recognized as one of the most actionable and ready-to-implement technologies for cities to transition to a low carbon economy and peak emissions in the next decade.
The Climate Group is working to accelerate adoption of LED street lighting in cities around the globe.
Since our LightSavers project – a ground-breaking global trial of LED street lighting that showcased how LEDs are ready for large-scale roll out – many cities have made the switch. Early adopters such as Los Angeles are reporting energy bill savings of 63%.
But many major global cities are still yet to adopt LEDs. To find out why, we launched a Global LED Consultation which identifies and addresses remaining regional barriers to global LED uptake. Our findings reveal that while technological barriers have largely been overcome, specific challenges remain around lack of capacity to address individual city circumstances and identify the most appropriate adoption strategy.
To drive LED scale-up, The Climate Group called for every city and utility in the world to switch to LED street lighting (or as energy efficient as) by 2025 – and for policymakers to define clear long-term strategies that will encourage adoption of energy efficient technologies.
To continue supporting cities toward this 2025 target, we will focus on key areas including:

Mod edit (James): Use this thread to discuss Koei's Kessen III strategy game.
Kessen III at Kongming's Archives: N/A
Kessen III at Koei Games | Kessen III at GameCity
Thanks for all the info, saver.tw!
Originally posted by saver.tw:
I have to say, Kessen III has created a new gameplay in video game history. You can imagine this new gameplay, "A-RSLG"(action+role playing+simulation)
, as the combination of Warriors serie (Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors) , Dynasty Tactics series, and Kessen series.
Kessen III is very different from other Kessen series we have ever played. In Kessen III, you control a group of soldiers in Warriors series style (use analog stick to move, press square button to attack......etc) instead of command selection. But it's different from Warriors series, too. It's hard to play your individual heroism here like what you've done in Warriors series. You have to make all of your groups concordant to complete their strategy goal and finally destroy the enemies.
Now I'll try my best to introduce this awesome game.

Islam, law, and political control in contemporary Iran
This article does not focus on stoning only, but does explain the doctrine of Maslahat[analogy] or Zarurat[necessity], which has important implications to the stoning issue (starting on page 213.) Many religious scholars have admitted that stoning is an "Islamic" punishment and thus part for shariah. However, they can legitimately reject or ban such punishment, and any law, if causes enough harm to the Islamic Republic. Leaders of the Islamic Republic use the doctrine of Maslahat or Zarurat (overwhelming necessity) to justify laws that do not directly correspond to or even contradict Islam. As a principle or method of law, this doctrine derives its validity from the idea that the basic purpose of legislation in Islam is to secure the welfare of the people by promoting their benefits and by protecting them against harm. Ayatollah Khomeini himself said: "The government is empowered to unilaterally revoke any shariah agreements which it has concluded with the people when these agreements are contrary to the interest of the country or Islam." If one can show stoning fits into this category of damaging the reputation or security of Islam or the Islamic Republic, it can be legitimately banned.

Thinking Yogi
The intersection of two loves: yoga and writing.
Time for a break...
Sometimes it's just all too much. News, email, social media, not to mention actual work - do you ever feel bogged down by your virtual obligations, overwhelmed by all the content that streams into your life?
Once I identified my sensitivity to virtual overwhelm, I made a conscious choice to limit my intake. I still occasionally worry I may be missing something important - the latest news story, or a friend's Facebook post about an important life event they'll never think to share with me offline - but the trade-off is worth it because I feel so much more balanced when I'm not constantly in intake mode.
Yoga has a fancy term for this: it's called pratyahara, withdrawal of the senses. Though you'll find it in dusty old yoga philosophy books, it's not some quaint, outdated concept. It's the reason you sigh in relief when your teacher invites you to close your eyes, it's why your shoulders and neck relax as the room gets quiet and dark and still for savasana.
With all the virtual voices out there today, I've decided to step back and figure out how my own contributes to the conversation (or noise). I'm taking a little break from Thinking Yogi, but I certainly won't be taking a break from writing. I have a project in the works....more to come on that soon!
In the meantime, feel free to check out five of my most popular past Thinking Yogi posts:
Here's to health, happiness, and your own version of balance.

I don't quite remember but I think it said something about that in the book. Something along the lines of the fact that a soul can either be extracted from the Host and put into a new one upon the previous host's death or can choose to live the remainder of the the host's life and die in the host.NYCBella wrote: The future of this relationship I think will be a strong one but one thing that has me thinking a lot about is: What will Wanda do when not only her host body but Ian's body become old and fragile? Once Ian has passed away will Wanda keep on living or will she die along side her partner?
Just a thought I had, I don't know if anyone else has brought up this topic, so sorry if I'm being redundent.
I could be completely wrong about that but I think I remember it saying that....hmmmm.

I wrote a couple of months ago that we were a laid-back eclectic borderline unschooling family...
At the beginning of the year I was putting everything they did into Homeschool Tracker weekly-page by page-date by date...but then we slipped into a more relaxed method where we try to follow ideals from the unschooling philosopy....
When I posted last someone gave me a link to a website that talked about Pennsylvania law and it is close to Florida law and somehow I missed that it wasn't exactly Florida law!
Florida: a log of educational activities made contemporaneously with the instruction and designating by title any reading materials used
Pennsylvania: a log, made contemporaneously with the instruction, which designates by title the reading materials used
So-I got this grand idea that I could make a summary of their work and then just have a log of reading material and activities and work books and the like...
But then today (after MONTHS of not logging daily) it dawned on me the little difference between FL and PA....PA asks for a log that goes along with the instruction...FL appears to ask for a log of educational activities.
THis is our first year-I've never had a portfolio evaluated...the internet-as vast as it is-is not helping me much!
What I need to know is...
Do I need to go back and try to find dates for their "Educational Activities" or will a detailed summary be enough? Could I say "January through February we focused on...." or "Between August and December we focused on This Workbook"
Because we don't sit down and do a Day Of School...we focus on them and learn from our environment as much as possible...but we still use workbooks and have focus in the three Rs...but..not daily.
I feel overwhelmed right now. I know I still have a few more months until my deadline but I don't like not knowing what I'm doing.
help help help. anything. help!
I need help-please!

What is the No. 1 indicator of success?
"Social intelligence," Maribeth Kuzmeski said at the outset of her afternoon keynote at the Cambridge Women Advisors Forum in Denver, Colo. on Thursday.
The author and president of consulting firm Red Zone Marketing told the 75 female advisors in attendance that "the most intelligent person in the world would not be successful without social intelligence," which she defined as the ability to "connect and communicate."
"Most advisors have a high level of social intelligence," she explained. "But like anything else, it needs to be constantly worked on. Like marriage, even a good one, what happens if you don't work on it?"
A problem, she noted, is that there are no courses to take to help increase a person's social intelligence because advisors "are just supposed to have it."
Referring to her book, titled "The Connectors," she asked attendees to consider how many truly powerful connections they have. The average is five, she offered. For most successful people, the average is 100.
"What's the difference between 5 and 100?" she again rhetorically asked. "Everything—think of what it would do for your business if you were to increase the number to 10, or to 20."
Relating a recent anecdote from a Harvard Business Review study, Kuzmeski said researchers from MIT invited subjects to participate in a business plan competition. The night before the competition, researchers observed the contestants at a cocktail reception, and identified the individual they believed would win the competition, based solely on their interpersonal skills.
"Sure enough, the person the MIT researchers picked won the competition, even though it was a completely different set of judges and even though the researchers had not even read the business plan."
It's not about dissecting the latest mutual fund product or breaking down an annuity for the client, she added. The advisor has to be able to do those things; but in order to truly serve the client you must be the best "at servicing the relationship."
"Too often, we want to keep the personal relationships separate from our business relationships. But why? Think about it; your best relationships are your personal relationships; they want to do business with you."
She then moved to the thrust of her presentation, which were the four "absolutes" she believes advisors must employ in order to successfully connect with clients and prospects.
1) Listen curiously—The average attention span in the United States is 17 seconds, Kuzmeski said. If advisors want to separate themselves from the competition, they need to "learn how to listen." "It's about them, not you. At first, this is a little uncomfortable for clients, because they're not used to it and there's no 'out' for them. But that is incredibly good for the advisor's business. You have to go from 'know' to 'trust' to 'like,' and 'listening for the remarkable' is the way to do it."
'Listening for the remarkable' is akin to speed reading, she noted. It's impossible to listen to every single word. So it's better for advisors to train themselves to listen for something unique.
"People will give up what's important to them in the course of a conversation. Listen for it."
2) Seek the remarkable—If you're type A (like many advisors), ask big questions, Kuzmeski said.
"Many people will lie to you, which is okay. If I tell you the truth, often I'm socially unacceptable. For instance, if you ask me how I am and I say, 'Fine" I might really mean, 'My knees hurt, my dog died and I have a cold."
Rather than, "How's your health?" advisors should instead ask, "What's your biggest health concern?" In this way, she said, prospects can't lie to advisors.
"This is one of the reasons why introverts are better at connecting than extroverts," she said. "Introverts don't talk, they listen."
3) Contrarian Networking—"Who here likes networking?" she asked attendees. After only three people raised their hands she continued, "If you knew networking worked, would you like it better?"
"If someone asks you what you do for a living and you tell them you're a financial advisor, will they like you more or less?" Kuzmeski said. "Probably less, because financial advisors are lumped in with insurance agents and people think you will try to sell them something, but the whole point of networking is to have them like you more, not less."
At networking events, successful individuals "look for the best connector in the room, and then connect with them, rather than looking for the person to whom they can sell the most. You either gather leads or develop advocates. The latter is better."
4) Be memorable—"As women, we feel we need to compete and be better than men because women are really just coming of age as a whole in this business," she concluded. "But you must bring yourself to the office and client meetings. What is it that makes you unique, and how do exploit your uniqueness? It's not just about being better, it's about being different."

OKLAHOMA CITY -- While the debate continues over whether the United States will approve a proposed oil conduit from Canada to the Gulf Coast, the segment from Cushing, Okla., to the Texas Gulf Coast is halfway toward completion and could be transporting oil by the end of the year.
President Barack Obama travelled to Oklahoma nearly a year ago to tout construction of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline from the Cushing oil hub to Houston-area refineries. A decision on whether to allow the longer pipeline awaits the results of a U.S. State Department review that is necessary because the oil would be carried across an international border.
Nearly 4,000 workers in Oklahoma and Texas are aligning and welding a 485-mile section, TransCanada spokesman David Dodson told The Associated Press.
"We're right at peak right now,'' he said. "We hope to have it in operation by the end of this year.''
TransCanada applied for a federal permit almost five years ago but its construction has become controversial. Environmentalists warn of potential spills and say extracting and using tar sands oil, which the pipeline would carry from Alberta, would worsen climate change. Unions and TransCanada counter the project will bring thousands of jobs and bolster the United States' oil supply from its friends and neighbours.
Obama rejected the permit early last year but left the door open for a retry that the State Department is currently considering. A decision could come by summer.
Because the Gulf Coast segment doesn't cross an international border, its approval process was much simpler and work began last August, Dodson said. When completed, the segment will carry 700,000 gallons of oil each day from the existing pipeline network centred around Cushing to the southern refineries.
Now about 850 labourers are at work in Oklahoma, with roughly 3,000 more in Texas. Most are temporary contracts. Dodson said he didn't know when those numbers would start winding down.
Pipeliners Local 798, a national union based in Tulsa, Okla., has about 250 of its members working on the pipeline's northern two-thirds, union business manager Danny Hendrix said. He estimated about half of those welders are from Oklahoma.
"These jobs are really good-paying jobs,'' Hendrix said. "They provide not only a good living wage, they provide health care and they also provide pension.''
Throughout the approval process, TransCanada has stressed those benefits, saying the pipeline could support thousands of people in economically rough times. Hendrix said the jobs were appreciated but not as urgent as they've been portrayed.
"All that being said, here's the deal: We've been very fortunate in the pipeline business,'' he said. "When the rest of the economy was in terrible shape, we've been doing very well. It's not a deal breaker or a killer for us if we don't get it.''
Work started in Oklahoma about two months ago. Dodson, from TransCanada, said protests against it -- formerly limited to Texas -- have come with it. At least two so-called ``direct actions'' involved people locking themselves to construction equipment to prevent its use, leading to 10 arrests in central Oklahoma.
Such civil disobedience tactics have become a mainstay of the pipeline's opposition. A rally near the White House on Feb. 17 drew 35,000 protesters, according to organizers, a few days after celebrities and prominent environmental activists tied themselves to the White House fence.
"What we're working on _ and experiencing some success with _ is trying to amplify the voices of people who aren't represented by the national discourse,'' said Jay Morris, a spokesman for the Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance in Oklahoma. Those people include those living at both ends of the Keystone XL proposal, he said: where the oil is extracted and where it's processed and refined.
Protests will continue, Morris said, and his group will keep trying to unify opposition even if the Keystone XL pipeline is finished from Canada to Texas.
In the meantime, Hendrix said, pipeline workers with his union will keep an eye on Washington.
"If the permit gets approved, we'll start construction on the northern end of it immediately,'' he said.

Kids stay inside for recess after mountain lion reported
A metro elementary school held recess indoors Wednesday after a mountain lion sighting.
Southeast Polk Schools Superintendent Craig Menozzi said Clay Elementary is holding indoor recesses as a precaution. The big cat was reportedly seen about a mile south of the school.
Authorities have yet to confirm the sightings are of a mountain lion.
Students at the school were told they were being kept inside due to the heat. A notice was sent to parents Wednesday morning.
On Monday, Des Moines police were called to investigate a report of a mountain lion at an apartment complex about three miles west of the school.
A manager at the complex at 4214 Hubbell Avenue told police they have received multiple reports of the big cat from residents.
They said the cat hangs out in the parking lot on the west side of one of the buildings.
Police animal control officers were sent to the complex to investigate Monday, but said they found no cat and no evidence it had been there.
The complex is located in the northeastern corner of Des Moines in an area where big cats have been spotted before. Police shot and killed a mountain lion in the area near the east mixmaster last October.
The animal was later stuffed and put on display at the Des Moines Police Station.

It's not a problem, OK? It's a disease.
I reinstalled Civ V the other day, and it has fucked me up. My family is away on holidays for a few weeks so I'm home alone, meaning that I've been sliding back into the very worst habits of a Civ fan, from ignoring my own "one last turn" advice to ignoring the clock on the wall that's telling me yo, grown man, go get some sleep.
This made me remember the fact that I am not alone in my struggles.
The Civ Anon (you know, like Alcoholics Anonymous, only for Civilization) marketing campaign has been running for a while; you might remember it from the lead-up to the release of Civ V. It was pretty funny, if also a little too heavy on the (duh) Civ V marketing.
You may not have seen this clip, though, which was released all the way back in 2005. It's not only the first Civ Anon video, it's also the best. While made for Civilization IV, it's general enough to hit home to fans of any game in the series at any time.
The political humour might date it a little, but hey, that's part of the charm.

Eastern women win on the road against Sacramento State
The Eastern Washington women's basketball team opened a 22-point advantage in the first half then withstood a furious comeback from host Sacramento State to steal a key road win, 79-73, in Big Sky Conference play on Thursday, Feb. 13, in the Hornets Nest.
Eastern (12-10, 8-5 Big Sky) seemed poised for a runaway victory, opening up a 22-point lead late in the first half after shooting better than 50 percent from the field and knocking down seven three-pointers over the opening 20 minutes.
Sacramento State (15-7, 7-6 BSC) ended the first half on an 8-0 run to cut the Eagles' lead to 14 at the break before crawling all the way back in the second stanza to tie the score at 72-72 with 1:23 remaining. The Eagles were able to get defensive stops on the Hornets' next four possessions while making seven of eight free throws over the final minute to hang on for the win.
"Give Sacramento State a lot of credit for battling back," head coach Wendy Schuller said. "I don't think we were as aggressive in the early part of the second half as we were in the first half, and we didn't take care of the ball as well. As the half progressed, I thought we did a better job and the last five minutes was a solid effort on both ends. When we decide to lock down defensively, we can do special things."
The Eagles never trailed on the night and have now won four consecutive games. Eastern now owns sole possession of fourth place in the Big Sky standings after Idaho State fell at home to Southern Utah earlier tonight.
"It's important to have momentum in February," Schuller said. "We've figured some things out and players have grown into their roles. I think we're better defensively than we were one or two months ago, and we're rebounding better, also. I'm happy with our progress, but I still think there are things we can do to improve in order to reach our peak in March."
Junior Lexie Nelson had a game-high 23 points to lead four Eagles in double-figures. She made four three pointers and finished 8-of-12 from the field.
Redshirt sophomore Hayley Hodgins finished just shy of the 20-point plateau, extending her double-figure scoring streak to 12 games with a 19-point effort. She added eight points and a career-high four blocks to her impressive stat line.
Senior Aubrey Ashenfelter added 14 points and 10 rebounds, collecting her third double-double of the year. Freshman Bethany Montgomery chipped in a season-high 13 points off the bench, shooting 6-of-10 from the field and grabbing seven rebounds.
Freshman Jade Redmon led EWU with six assists as Eastern provided helpers on 21 of its 26 made buckets.
EWU shot 52.0 percent from the field on the night, its best shooting performance in a road game this season. The Eagles shot 43.8 percent from downtown, making all seven of its three-pointers in the first half. Eastern also went 20-of-26 from the charity stripe, shooting 17-of-21 in the second half.
Sacramento State shot just 32.4 percent from the field as Eastern's defense frustrated the Hornets' high-scoring attack. CSUS connected on just 23.3 percent of its shots from distance, making 10 of 43 attempts.
The Eagles outrebounded the hosts, 43-38, and held the Hornets to just 16 second chance points despite allowing 18 offensive rebounds. Eastern turned the ball over 24 times to the tune of 21 points for CSUS while Sacramento State committed 15 miscues.
Eastern simply could not miss in the early going, knocking down its first five shots to open up a 15-5 lead less than five minutes into the game. Hodgins buried consecutive three-pointers as the Eagles opened up a 12-point advantage, 23-11, with 13:24 on the clock, but the hosts answered with a quick 5-0 run to pull to within seven, 23-16, at the 11:30 mark.
The Eagles took off from there, reeling off a 19-4 run over the next eight minutes to open up a 22-point lead, 42-20, with 3:10 left in the half. Nelson had nine points in the stretch, burying two three-pointers and converting a three-point play. The Hornets were held scoreless for nearly six minutes as the hosts shot just 23 percent in the first half.
Sacramento State was able to get some momentum back before the break, ending the half on an 8-0 run to cut Eastern's lead to 14, 42-28, heading into the locker room.
The hosts continued to crawl back early in the second half, pulling to within two, 56-54, with 10:18 remaining. The Eagles answered with a run of their own, using four free throws from Redmon and a bucket from Nelson to go back up seven, 65-58, at the 6:55 mark.
The Hornets had one final run in them, scoring 12 of the next 19 points to even things at 72-72 with less that a minute left. Eastern drained its free throws down the stretch and came up with crucial defensive stops to hold off CSUS for the win.
Eastern concludes its weekend with a Big Sky counter at Northern Arizona on Saturday, Feb. 13. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. PST and can be seen regionally on Fox Sports Arizona.

God bless Sascha Segan, who may be the most dogged reporter on carriers and networks around. In this episode, AT&T tells him its LTE plans. Some of its answers will make you punch a wall, because they are non-answers, like whether their LTE phones will work on Verizon's network. But a couple things remain of note.
For instance! I want you to read this answer very carefully, and pretend you are not someone who reads Gizmodo regularly:
Our advertising makes it clear that "4G" (offered through our HSPA+ network) and "4G LTE" are different things. We are currently advertising 4G LTE only in markets where our 4G LTE service has launched.
Why yes! It's so obvious what the difference between 4G HSPA+ and 4G LTE is. In other words, 4G marketing is going to continue to require a degree in nerd to decipher.
But perhaps most relevant: AT&T's first LTE phone is coming this year. Obviously from HTC, Samsung, or Motorola, and probably running Android. More here: [PC Mag]

Operation Barbarossa
Operation Barbarossa, the largest military operation of all time, was Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union which began in summer 1941. It was planned for earlier in the year, but was delayed due to Germany's need to conquer Greece first after Italy's disastrous effort to attack that country had met with failure.
The operation against the Soviet Union was a 'Blitzkrieg' ('lightning war') that saw the German Wehrmacht and its allies advance cover greater distances in less time than any of their other campaigns. Of course it would also need to, due to the vast land area that made up the Soviet Union and Russia in particular. The Luftwaffe worked in co-ordination with the Panzer Divisions to ensure as rapid an advance as possible. The attack aimed to reach the capital of the USSR, Moscow, before the dreaded Russian winter set in, but failed to do so. The Russians threw back the German armies at that time; their first military success.
The Germans began their offensive anew in 1942 after the winter had passed and again met with success, but the Russians were bolstered by supplies from the Allies including some from the United States and their continued mobilization of their own great manpower reserves. Also, the addition of the T-34 tank gave them a weapon that was in many ways superior to any other tank that had been seen in the war. The Battle of Stalingrad in late 1942/early '43 was the turning point in the War on the Eastern Front, and a Nazi victory became practically impossible after that as the size of the Soviet forces and their fighting ability continued to grow.

USED DUMPER FOR SALEDonnerstag, April 16th, 2009
VOLVO A35E ARTICULATED HAULERS DUMPERDonnerstag, April 16th, 2009
Volvo Dumper A35E
Maximum productivity at the lowest possible cost is the best way to become profitable. With the A35E , it's possible to actually do it. The heart of the machine – the drivetrain – is developed by Volvo, down to the smallest detail. That's natural to Volvo Dumper since the drivetrain – engine, transmission, dropbox, axles, and wheels – is decisive for the machine's rimpull, operating reliability, fuel consumption, and service life. To that you can add minimal service needs, and you can confidently count on profitability in the long run
The new generation's engines
Volvo's new engines give A35E have more power and rimpull. The D12 a engines feature Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology and get maximal energy from every drop of fuel. The turbocharged, low-emission diesel engines feature electronically-controlled directinjection and intercooler.
No daily service
There's no daily service needed for Volvo's haulers. Monitored checks of oil and fluid levels all add up to minimal service needs. Long intervals between every service mean more time for productive work. Downtime during service is short, thanks to few service points and simple work. All filters are easy to access, the engine hood opens a full 90 degrees, and the swingdown front grill makes it easy to reach service points on the engine. CareTrack provides remote monitoring of the machine´s position, utilization and performance. With immediate availability of correct facts about your machines, you can analyze the situation shift by shift, and make decisions that result in higher productivity and shorter downtime.
Space and comfort
Our articulated haulers feature the quiet, clean and spacious Volvo Care Cab. The first thing you notice is how easy it is to get in to the A35E and A40E. The steps are well-matched, the door opening is wide and without a threshold. Inside the cab there's plenty of room for the operator as well as other items, such as boots and a lunchbox. The ergonomically designed operator's seat features air-suspension and is easily adjustable for true comfort. The steering wheel angle can be adjusted, and there's also a vertical height adjustment.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Orioles left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada's recovery from Tommy John surgery is expected to take a significant step forward next week.
Wada is slated to make one more start in extended spring training on Friday and after that he will likely be assigned to one of the team's minor-league affiliates to begin a rehab assignment.
On Friday, Wada will go between five and seven innings and throw about 80 pitches, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
"He looks good," Showalter said. "His pitch count was so low that he ended up going six innings his last time out."
Showalter said that Wada is throwing all of his pitches in extended sping. He added that he asked injured second baseman Brian Roberts, who is in Sarasota rehabbing a right hamstring injury, to scout Wada for him. He plans on getting feedback from Wilson Betemit and Taylor Teagarden -- two other Orioles on the DL -- as well.
"I was talking to different guys about him down there," Showalter said. "I had Brian Roberts go down there and scout it out for me. He had some interesting things to say. I'll have Wilson have a look at him next time out, and then Teagarden."
Wada is on the Orioles' 60-day disabled list, so he won't likely return until early June.
Wada had Tommy John surgery last May and has been working to get back since. Signed to a two-year, $8.15 million contract before the 2012 season, he has yet to pitch for the Orioles in a regular season game.

Pacific Rubiales Provides Update On The Quifa Field Arbitration Process
Feb 21, 2013, 23:05 ET
TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (TSX: PRE; BVC: PREC; BOVESPA: PREB) announced today an update on the previously disclosed and ongoing arbitration process associated with its operated heavy oil production interests in the Quifa block, south Llanos basin, onshore Colombia.
The Company's share of production before royalties from the Quifa block is 60%; however, this participation decreases once the high-prices clause ("PAP"), which is stipulated in the Quifa Association Contract, is triggered. Ecopetrol S.A., the Colombian National Oil Company, holds the remaining 40% interest in the Quifa block.
On September 27, 2011, Ecopetrol and the Company agreed to commence an arbitration process to settle certain differences in the interpretation of the PAP clause in the Quifa Association Contract and its effect on the production split as between the companies. While the arbitration process runs its course, both companies agreed to apply the formula of the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos ("ANH"). Pacific Rubiales has been recognizing the ANH formula in its financial statements since the third quarter 2011.
The arbitration process is currently ongoing and is not expected to conclude and a decision rendered until next month, contrary to reports currently circulating in national and international news media.
The Company believes that it has strong legal reasoning to support its position in respect to the arbitration process.
Pacific Rubiales, a Canadian company and producer of natural gas and crude oil, owns 100% of Meta Petroleum Corp., which operates the Rubiales, Piriri and Quifa heavy oil fields in the Llanos Basin, and 100% of Pacific Stratus Energy Colombia Corp., which operates the La Creciente natural gas field in the northwestern area of Colombia. Pacific Rubiales has also acquired 100% of PetroMagdalena Energy Corp., which owns light oil assets in Colombia, and 100% of C&C Energia Ltd., which owns light oil assets in the Llanos Basin. In addition, the Company has a diversified portfolio of assets beyond Colombia, which includes producing and exploration assets in Peru, Guatemala, Brazil, Guyana and Papua New Guinea.
The Company's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and La Bolsa de Valores de Colombia and as Brazilian Depositary Receipts on Brazil's Bolsa de Valores Mercadorias e Futuros under the ticker symbols PRE, PREC, and PREB, respectively.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding estimates and/or assumptions in respect of production, revenue, cash flow and costs, reserve and resource estimates, potential resources and reserves and the Company's exploration and development plans and objectives) are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, production estimates and estimated economic return; the possibility that actual circumstances will differ from the estimates and assumptions; failure to establish estimated resources or reserves; fluctuations in petroleum prices and currency exchange rates; inflation; changes in equity markets; political developments in Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Brazil, Papua New Guinea or Guyana; changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other geological data; and the other risks disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's annual information form dated March 14, 2012 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
In addition, reported production levels may not be reflective of sustainable production rates and future production rates may differ materially from the production rates reflected in this press release due to, among other factors, difficulties or interruptions encountered during the production of hydrocarbons.

House GOP Cools to Immigration Overhaul
Fresh Doubt Over Legislative Move in 2014 as Republican Lawmakers Push Back Against GOP Leaders' Support of Legalization
WASHINGTON—Just days after House Republican leaders backed legalization for most immigrants in the U.S. illegally, opponents in the party are making clear they will resist the push, casting fresh doubt on chances for legislative movement on immigration this year.
The focus of opposition within the House GOP is less on sensitivities over amnesty or a potential flood of unneeded new workers, and more on politics. Opponents say they worry that moving ahead on the issue could divide Republicans and hand Democrats a victory in...

(Recasts, adds comments from speech)
By Scott Malone
BOSTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Representative Stephen Lynch, a
Massachusetts Democrat who has represented Boston and its
surrounding since 2001, on Thursday formally launched a bid for
the U.S. Senate, seeking the seat being vacated by John Kerry
following his confirmation as the new U.S. secretary of state.
Lynch, a former ironworker, will face off against fellow
House of Representatives member Edward Markey in an April 30
primary, ahead of a June 25 special election to choose a
permanent successor to Kerry.
Lynch announced his candidacy with a speech in the
headquarters of the ironworkers union he once ran - a site
chosen to play up his working-class background.
After a series of appearances in Worcester and Framingham,
the state's second- and third-most populous cities, Lynch told a
crowd of supporters in Boston about his experience losing a job
during a mass layoff at a nearby shipyard.
"I know what it's like to stand in an unemployment line.
It's something you never forget," Lynch said, according to a
text of his prepared remarks. "I learned that in severe economic
downturns, that sometimes the only force that can correct that
inequity ... is the government."
Lynch faces an uphill battle against Markey, who has held
his seat in Congress since 1976, according to recent polls.
In a primary contest, 52 percent of voters would support
Markey and just 19 percent Lynch, according to a Public Policy
Polling study of 404 likely primary voters released on
No prominent Republicans have said if they will run for the
seat, and observers wonder whether former Republican Senator
Scott Brown will seek a return to Washington.
Brown stunned the liberal state's Democratic establishment
in 2010 when he won a special election to fill the U.S. Senate
seat left vacant with the death of Edward Kennedy.
Brown lost a re-election bid last year to Democrat Elizabeth
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, a Democrat, on
Wednesday named his former chief of staff, William Cowan, to
hold the U.S. Senate seat until a successor is elected.
Cowan told reporters he viewed the appointment as temporary
and had no plans to run in the special election.

One of the paintings at Wightwick Manor, in Wolverhampton, has just gone on loan to the exhibition The Cult of Beauty at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It is a depiction by Henry Treffrey Dunn of the bedroom of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, painted as if seen in a convex mirror.
Dunn's painting has been used to recreate the bedroom in the V&A exhibtion. Rossetti was one of the artists who played a major role in the Aesthetic Movement. In his house on Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, he deliberately blurred the boundaries between art and life.
Wightwick Manor still contains original interiors that were heavily influenced by the Aesthetic Movement. The rooms have the same mixture of antique furniture, metalwork and ceramics that Rossetti helped to make fashionable.
There is also a collection of pre-Raphaelite art at Wightwick, including works by Rossetti himself.
Many of the textiles in the house are by Morris & Co, similar examples of which are also shown at the V&A.
Wightwick was built by the Victorian industrialist Theodore Mander and was given to the National Trust by his son Sir Geoffrey Mander in 1937.
The Dunn painting is illustrated in an article by the curator of the V&A exhibition, Stephen Calloway, in the May 2011 edition of The World of Interiors. The Cult of Beauty exhibition also features in the March/April 2011 edition of Selvedge.
From tomorrow I shall be on holiday for a week.

A sailor playing with an airsoft gun inside a Navy barracks prompted a security response and shelter-in-place order on Naval Base Point Loma, Navy officials confirmed to NBC 7 Thursday.
Base Commanding Officer Scott Adams described the suspect as "a young, enlisted sailor" who lives on base.
"He was actually firing shots of the airsoft pistol out of the window toward a mirror in the parking lot," Adams said. Airsoft guns are designed to shoot soft plastic pellets.
A tenant of the base called security personnel and reported an armed person around 10 a.m.
In response, a portion of the base was ordered to "shelter in place" as naval security forces and NCIS set up a perimeter around the barracks.
The suspect and a friend inside the barracks called their commanding officer once they realized NCIS had been called.
The two were taken into custody without incident.
"We are dealing with young sailors, and we inform them what is and is not appropriate but at some times, these things happen," Adams said.
Weapons are not permitted in the barracks, Adams said. However, it's unclear if an airsoft pistol is considered a weapon under that policy.
San Diego police said their Emergency Negotiations Team, consisting of police, FBI agents and NCIS officials, was requested to assist base officials.
There are dozens of commands located at the facility tucked away on the penninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay.
Among them are Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) and seven submarines.


text: Jesus chose a group of twelve (usually called 'apostles' by Luke, e.g. 6: 13) 'to be with him' (on his travels). The Twelve symbolized the new Israel since the old Israel was regarded as made up of twelve tribes (Matt. 19: 28). The Twelve bore witness to Jesus' ministry and to his resurrection. The defection of Judas Iscariot necessitated that the number twelve be made good by the election of Matthias (Acts 1: 15–26). Subsequent deaths did not create vacancies that needed to be filled.
