Christopher Helman, Forbes Staff
I'm based in Houston, Texas. Energy capital of the world.
It's about time someone got around to developing Hebron. The giant heavy oil field offshore Newfoundland was discovered way back in 1981. Finally this week ExxonMobil and its partners (Chevron 27%, Statoil 10%, Exxon 36%, Suncor 23%) have agreed to move full speed ahead to bring it online.
The plan is for Hebron to be putting out 150,000 bpd of heavy oil (20-degree API) by 2017.
Exxon pegs the total cost of Hebron's development at $14 billion. That's triple what the estimates were back in 2008.
So just how expensive is $14 billion? Well Exxon says the prize at Hebron is roughly 700 million barrels. That means development costs will be on the order of $20 per barrel. This wouldn't seem like a whole lot if Exxon and partners could hope to sell Hebron's oil at Brent crude prices of around $110 per barrel. But they can't.
Hebron's crude is much heavier that Brent or West Texas Intermediate. Canadian Heavy Crude currently trades at a $35 per barrel discount to West Texas Intermediate, or about $58 per barrel. That makes the economics look a lot more challenging. At that price Exxon and partners will have to sell 240 million barrels of Hebron crude just to pay back construction costs.
One positive caveat: Prices for Canadian Heavy are discounted now because of the shortage of pipeline capacity for carrying heavy oil sands crude out of western Canada. Exxon won't suffer that transport bottleneck on Hebron's crude. In nearby St. John, New Brunswick is Irving Oil's giant 300,000 bpd refinery, Canada's largest.
These less than stellar economics help explain what took so long. And then there's the technical challenge.
This is not easy oil. Hebron is located under 300 feet of water, 200 miles offshore, in a stretch of the northern Atlantic known as iceberg alley.
Unlike in the Gulf of Mexico, where big fields are produced by floating platforms tethered to the seafloor, in iceberg alley you need sturdier gear.
Exxon has already begun construction of Hebron's Gravity Base Structure, a massive pillar of reinforced concrete that will sit on the seafloor, have the capacity to hold 1.2 million barrels of oil, and be so tough that it can withstand getting hit by icebergs.
Exxon has experience with this kind of structure — its Gravity Base Structure at the neighboring Hibernia field, just 18 miles away, is the world's largest oil platform. Like the Hibernia platform, Hebron's is being built in nearby Bull Arm, Newfoundland. Other nearby fields in the Jeanne d'Arc basin include Terra Nova and White Rose.
Exxon and its partners have eyed Hebron for decades. In 2002, the original operator, Chevron cited low oil prices and technical challenges as reasons for not moving forward with the project.
When Exxon took over, it ended up squabbling with the provincial government over royalty rates and other benefits, and suspended plans again in 2006.
Talks began again in 2008, but development plans were slowed by the global economic meltdown.
Now, with precious few other opportunities to invest massive amounts to gain material production growth, Exxon is moving full speed ahead. The company's production volumes have fallen five straight quarters, putting pressure on CEO Rex Tillerson to identify avenues of future growth.
Since the early 1980s Exxon has done intensive study of iceberg hazards in the region, working in conjunction with Norwegian and Russian scientists.
All this experience will give Exxon, and the entire industry, a very real look at the costs involved in Arctic development. This will come in handy when Exxon begins its exploratory work with Russia's Rosneft in the iceberg-strewn stretch of Russia's arctic seas. And might also serve to inform investors in Royal Dutch Shell what the full costs may be of continuing to pursue its snafu-prone Alaskan drilling campaign.
Makes me wonder what we can accomplish if $14B is spent on R&D to develop Alertnative Energy. But, again, the outcome might kill Exxon Mobil itself. No, we're better off burning fossil fuel.
————" These less than stellar economics help explain what took so long. And then there's the technical challenge."————
Peak Oil explained what took so long 20 years before Hebron was even discovered.
Cheap and easy oil is running out. It is getting harder to get to, get out, and get ready(refine).
And it will get more expensive—-quickly. As the ratio of old wells to new wells changes, the break even costs will accelerate exponentially.
I think Exxon would be far better advised to use that $14 billion to produce and market biofuels.
peak oil is yet another global warming hoax myth, your a fool, go look at proven reserves, they have only increased. You may as well take your propaganda book "Limits to Growth" and use it as firewood. Real world, empirical evidence has destroyed your saviors narrative. You should be embarassed to continue parroting whacko environmentalism. Nobody believes that you brush your teeth with a twig or use leaves and moss as paper towels.
keeping talking about rainbow power fredlinn, if you wish upon a star, probably nothing will happen.
DocJ——-did you know your face gets purple and the veins in your forehead pop out when you talk?
It's a very nice shade of purple though, sort of a maroon shade………..
"your a fool" LOL! Peak oil is real. It's right in front of your face if you look at the world objectively. Global economic production is obscenely low, yet oil remains expensive. Once demand hits in a year or two, look out.
@christopher hellman
nice cheap shot. How long have humans known about solar and wind power? Oh, I'd say a few thousand years at least. Where are all of the windmills and solar panels Chris?
Hebron is a tremendous project for Exxon, its partners and Newfoundland. The Hebron asset is actually three oil fields: Hebron, West Ben-Nevis, and Ben-Nevis. Each oilfield itself has at least four oil reservoirs at different depths: Avalon oil, Ben-Nevis oil; Hibernia oil, and Jeanne d'arc oil. Four significant licenses comprise these fields and cover an area of 18460 hectares squared(71.3 square miles). Only five wells, yes only five wells, have been drilled to date and recoverable resources are pegged at over 700 million barrels! At this point in time in its development, Hebron's resources are even bigger than Hibernia's was. For those of you who haven't heard of Hibernia(GAINT oil field), it was originally estimated to have 522 million barrels of recoverable oil, but as of the end of 2012(began production in November, 1997) it has produced 830 million barrels(still going strong; 160 000 barrels per day) and is in the early stages of the first of six possible expansions. The original Hibernia production licenses covered an area of 23 347 hectares(90.1 square miles). What I am trying to say is that the Hebron field is a GIANT field! The original Hibernia oil field will at least produce over 2 billion barrels of oil as it matures plus untold trillions of natural gas and natural gas liquids. Expect Hebron to be just as prolific as Hibernia or maybe more. For further information go to http://www.cnlopb.nl.ca. It has a wealth of information regarding the Newfoundland offshore. It also has the development plan for Hebron that was made by Exxon and many other delights.
There are a couple of false implications in this article that I would now like to tackle. First of all, most of this heavy oil(estimated from 19 to 25 degree API) is located in only the Ben-Nevis reservoir in the Hibernia field. The Hibernia(29 API) and Jeanne d'arc(24-36 API) reservoirs in the same field, according to the Exxon Development plan application, will be mixed with the heavier Ben-Nevis API(19 to 25). info at www.cnlopb.nl.ca So, the oil's viscosity will not be as heavy as people are saying. The pool 3 development has an API of 31! Hebron oil will probably fetch the going rate just like the other Jeanne d'arc oil fields!! Secondly, the costs have not increased that much. When the Canada Newfoundland-Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board(CNLOPB) reviewed this project in late 2011, the costs for the Hebron project was 12 billion dollars, but that included more than just the GBS. It also included the separate development for Pool 3. Costs as follows: GBS(Hebron Field): 6.5 billion; Pool 3(Ben Nevis field) 1.78 billion; drilling costs(both fields) 3.67 billion. Since this development plan was reviewed Exxon did modify(enlarged) the GBS topsides which could account for the extra 2 billion in costs. What I would like to make clear is that when 14 billion is mentioned as capital cost for this project, it also includes a large subsea tieback for Pool 3(a separate development than the Hebron GBS) which will have at least 20 wells. Maybe the subsea tieback(pool 3) will be changed to a well head GBS in the future, but it is unknown because Exxon hasn't filed a development plan for Pool 3 yet!!! So, the capital costs to first oil will be way under 14 billion. Probably in the area of 8 billion!
Anyway, this will be one lucrative project for all involved. Hopefully, many more companies will start exploring Newfoundland's offshore and they will find the next GAINT field!!
I will answer tomorrow. I do have answers,.
Where's my editor!! Retraction: A couple of corrections: #1 Actually, six wells have been drilled into the Hebron asset, not five: Three in the Hebron field, one in West Ben-Nevis, and two in the Ben-Nevis field. #2 Actually, the Ben-Nevis reservoir(19-25 API) is located in the Hebron field(not Hibernia field) and it comprises roughly 70% of recoverable oil for the entire Hebron asset at this time. Do remember though, only 6 wells have been drilled to date, and there are other prospects within the significant discovery licenses and also prospects on the boundaries and just outside the known oil reservoirs. The Hebron assets will be an exciting project for many decades to come and is an oil drilling engineer's dream.
Happy New Year to everyone!
That's great insight and resources Michael. Thank you for that.

The Cullman Times
The Cullman High cheerleading squad cheered its way to a fifth-place finish at this year's national competition in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday and Sunday.
The Bearcats competed against 42 other schools from around the country in the Small Varsity Division Two group.
Coach K.C. Chamblee was happy for his team, albeit a little confused about the results.
"We were in third place after Round 1," he said. "After Round 2, we were in first. I thought our last performance was our best one, but we dropped down to fifth. We were all kind of baffled by it to be honest."
The competition consisted of teams performing the same routine three separate times in front of three different judging panels.
"We all thought we should have been at least in third place," Chamblee added. "The girls were shocked."
The fifth-place finish is the highest of any Cullman team in its cheerleading history. Despite being somewhat disappointed, Chamblee said the girls were pleased with their effort and result.
"They were heartbroken at first," he said. "But they are also very proud of their accomplishments as well. To be the highest any Cullman team has ever placed is a good thing."
Chamblee credits this year's higher finish — the team was sixth in the 2012 competition — with a much more difficult routine.
"That's how it works," he said. "You try to get better each and every year. I think we did that."
The girls were also invited to compete in the World High School Cheerleading Championship at ESPN's Wide World of Sports on Sunday.
The squad placed third in that competition, which saw teams from Pennsylvania, Canada and Ecquador place as well.
One of the advantages of finishing toward the top is the chance to meet some famous on-air personalities. That was exactly the position the Cullman cheerleaders found themselves in when they were interviewed by former Olympic gold medalist Shawna Johnson following their routine.
"That's their idol," Chamblee said. "Most of them follow gymnastics. They were blown away by her and her evaluation of us. She talked to them a little bit after the interview. It was definitely an adventure for them."
Natalie Harris, a senior captain, said the experience was one to remember.
"It was absolutely incredible to meet her (Johnson)," she said. "I've always looked up to her growing up."
It's been quite the season for Chamblee and coach Haley Nix. Chamblee stated the girls got together this summer and came away with extra motivation entering competition.
"We dedicated the season to Andrew (Winfrey) back in the summer," Chamblee said. "They promised to work harder than they ever have for him. It was a great year. State champs and a high finish at nationals."
The Bearcats are poised to return with authority next season. They will only lose three seniors and return nine top contributors.
"We should be stronger next year," Chamblee said. "We start back in April preparing for regionals in November."

The incoming chancellor of the 23-campus California State University system won fans and earned some cheers Wednesday when he requested that his salary be reduced by 10 percent in light of the state's continuing budget problems.
``Despite the passage of Proposition 30, there remain grave economic issues to solve in California and the California State University,'' incoming Chancellor Timothy P. White said. ``The success of the measure was the voice of the voters and taxpayers of California to start to reinvest in education. ``... Consequently, as I join the faculty, staff and students who have experienced cuts, salary freezes and increased fees, I too must do my part,'' he said.
``This is the basis of my request to reduce my own compensation to contribute to the rebuilding of this great university.''
White, who will move from his position as chancellor of UC Riverside to become CSU chancellor for the Long Beach-headquartered system at the end of the year, was expected to be paid $421,500 from state funds, plus a $30,000 supplement from CSU Foundation sources.
At his request, his state-funded salary will be dropped to $380,000. He will still receive the $30,000 supplement. CSU Board of Trustees chairman Bob Linscheid praised White's decision, calling it ``a testament to his commitment to CSU and a demonstration of his leadership.''
The Cal State University Board of Trustees, which meets two consecutive days monthly, postponded it agendized consideration of student fees including what it called a "graduation incentive fee." That and other fees were meant to motivate students to graduate sooner and to not drop classes after enrolling, to make room for the estimated 18,000 CSU students eligible but for space.
A group of about 50 members of CSU Students for Quality Education protested any fees and demanded a voice in the discussion of then outside the CSU Chancellor's office. On Wednesday they released a preliminary report on "Obstacles to Graduation."
Following requests from the governor and students, the CSU board tabled the proposed tuition hikes set for consideration at this week's meetings, the Associated Press reported board chairman Robert Linscheid saying.

In November Pioneer Press's Mike Berardino wrote that outfielder Jason Kubel, who was released by the Cleveland Indians earlier in the day, would be interested in a reunion with the Minnesota Twins.
"Yeah, for sure, Kubel said. I loved it here. I really miss the guys. I had a great relationship with Gardy, Andy (pitching coach Rick Anderson), (Joe) Vavra all the coaches and the few players I remember that are still there. I love the guys over there.
Kubel certainly loved the guys, but he had a different feeling towards the ballpark. When he departed to Arizona as a free agent, he reminisced about Target Field:
"It's no secret that a lot of people didn't like Target Field to hit there," he said. "I just feel like here, I can use the whole field and still put up power numbers instead of trying to pull the ball in the air to get it out. I did get in trouble trying to do that too often, and it showed in the numbers."
But he cannot blame Target Field for his 2013 woes.
In his first year in Phoenix, Kubel thrived. He posted the second-best OPS of his career. He mashed 30 taters. He justified the first-half of his two-year, $15 million dollar contract.
And then? Pfft. Nothing.
What happened?
One of Kubel's biggest issues in 2013 was his inability to handle fastballs. According to ESPN Stats & Info, in 2012 Kubel hit .298/.368/.616 with 20 home runs and a whopping .309 well-hit average. That dropped considerably in 2013 when he finished the year hitting .261/.315/.400 with just 3 home runs and a well-hit average of .171 off of fastballs.
Opponents attacked the upper portion of the zone more in 2013 (37% versus 30% in 2012) and Kubels lack of bat speed resulted in far less contact and power output.
While Kubel may be a bounce back candidate after his 2013 season, the Twins are not in need of a corner outfielder or designated hitter at this point. Oswaldo Arcia, in theory, can provide just as much production as the former Twin can. Nevertheless, the minor league agreement provides the Twins will some needed veteran depth without clogging the major league roster with additional corner outfielders and designated hitters.

Sudden increases in activity can place extensive stress on the shoulders and lead to a decrease in flexibility. This is a common problem in middle age, especially among "weekend warriors," or people who don't exercise regularly but go out every now and then for an intense sport.
Although painful and inconvenient, these overuse problems can usually be treated with rest, NSAIDs and stretching exercises.
Beginning as early as age 50, some people develop osteoarthritis, which causes painful movement. This occurs as the smooth surfaces of the cartilage that line the bones of the shoulder joint are worn away, and joints begin to wear out and become larger. The most common cause of osteoarthritis is overuse. Treatments for arthritis in the shoulder depend on the severity of pain. The usual treatments are rest, NSAIDs and cortisone injections. In some instances, a replacement of the shoulder joint is necessary.

University of Kentucky women's basketball junior guard A'dia Mathies has been selected by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association as its Women's National Player of the Week after her performance in Kentucky's 72-65 victory over No. 6/5 Duke on Thursday.
Mathies, who was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday and is a member of the Naismith preseason watch list, led Kentucky to a win over Duke at Rupp Arena, marking the first time the Wildcats (10-0) had ever won back-to-back games against top-10 ranked opponents. Kentucky defeated intrastate rival No. 10 Louisville 74-54 on Dec. 4.
The Louisville, Ky., native paced the Wildcats with a season-high 23 points, including a career-high tying four 3-pointers, four rebounds and four steals against the Blue Devils.
Mathies' four steals against Duke give her 201 for her career, tying her with UK great Valerie Still at No. 9 on the UK all-time steals list. Mathies is just the 10th player in UK history to amass 200 or more steals during her UK career.
Mathies leads Kentucky in scoring with 16.8 points per game, and in steals with 3.7 per game. Mathies is second on the team in rebounding at 5.7 boards per game. In the conference, Mathies ranks third in scoring and is first in steals. Mathies also ranks seventh nationally in steals per game.

This was very good. The bread had a great texture. I only give it 4 stars because I think next time I will put some seasoning in the dough instead of just on top. I also think I will put minced garlic, fresh basil, rosemary and crushed red peppers in the olive oil for dipping. It just wasn't as tasty as I expected. With a couple of modifications, this can be a great recipe!
YUM!! This is one of the easiest yet tastiest bread recipes out there! Followed the recipe pretty closely. I did add some garlic powder and herbs to the dough after I read the reviews and will probably do it again next time. Was a little (ok a LOT) more liberal with the parmesan. I was concerned the dough was too sticky (much stickier then typical bread dough) but I baked it anyways and it turned out perfect. Husband LOVED it. 5 star recipe!
Very easy (and I am not much of a cook!) and my husband loves it! In a convection oven, bake for only 25 minutes. Covering immediately out of the oven with a towel for 15 minutes softened up the crust perfectly. Makes great pannini! Next time, I think I'll add some garlic to the olive oil that is used.

text: I have a four winns 298 Vista and I am replacing my entire system focusing mostly on the speakers outside of the cabin because I spend most of my time outside and dont need too much in the cabin. I have the 6 1/2's replaced but I want to add a sub. There is very little space for a box, but the boat has tons of storage space (lift up a seat cushion and open "box-like" space) like most boats. I was thinking about cutting a hole in the fiberglass on the side of one of the seats and installing the sub firing out towards the rest of the boat seating area. The storage area under the seat is pretty much sealed except for a small drain hole in the corner. If I stuffed it with some poly fill would it work ok? do I have to use polyfill? I was hoping not to to reduce mold growth. It would probably be more of a free air then an enclosed box. What type of sub should I use? I was hoping for the MM1040UM. I have included a picture, to the left under the seat is the location I was shooting for.

Based on state law, do you agree with prosecutors that this was not a hate crime?
SEATTLE - The King County Prosecutor's Office says it will not file felony hate crime charges against Seattle police Detective Shandy Cobane. He's the detective seen on video stomping on a young Latino man and using racially charged language during a robbery investigation back in April.
"After reviewing a thorough investigation by the Seattle Police Department, we have determined that Detective Shandy Cobane did not commit the crime of felony malicious harassment, the state's 'Hate Crime' law," said the prosecutor's office in a press release.
On April 17, police were responding to calls of armed robberies by some Latino men who were armed with a machete and a handgun in the South Lake Union neighborhood. They stopped a group of three men, including 21-year-old Martin Monetti.
Related: Read the press release
Prosecutors say all three men were ordered to lie down face first on the ground, but Monetti "was not keeping his body or hands still as he had been ordered to do."
At one point, Cobane crouched down and was heard on video yelling "I'm going to beat the f---ing Mexican piss out of you homey. You feel me?"
"Detective Cobane then used his foot to stomp down on Mr. Monetti's hand and drag it back away from his body," say prosecutors.
Related: Watch the video
Officer Mary Woollum appears to also stomp on Monetti's leg. Other officers at the scene did not step in to stop what was happening.
According to the state's hate crime law, prosecutors say they must show that a person maliciously and intentionally threatened or assaulted a person because of their race, color or national origin.
"Detective Cobane did not maliciously and intentionally target Mr. Monetti due to his ethnicity. Instead, Detective Cobane and his fellow officers lawfully detained Mr. Monetti and the two other men because they had reasonable belief that the men were involved in two armed robberies," said prosecutors. Prosecutors clarified that because the men were potential suspects in an armed robbery, and because no weapons had been recovered, officers did not know if Monetti was armed.
"Mr. Monetti was not complying with commands," said prosecutors. "Although forceful, the stomp to move Mr. Monetti's hand away from his body was not unreasonable considering the totality of the circumstances that evening."
Prosecutors did say that Cobane used "patently offensive" language referring to Monetti's ethnicity.
"The use of offensive language in and of itself is not a hate crime," said King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg. "You need a lot more than that. You need the random selection of a victim, and that's the thing we don't have here. This person was selected because he was a suspect in a robbery."
Seattle's Latino community is not satisfied with the decision. Ricardo Sanchez, who helped form a community coalition to demand justice in this incident, wonders how far a police officer has to go before he is severely punished in Seattle.
"Especially when is somebody helpless lying on the ground and they get kicked in the head. That crosses the line, and that officer ought to be held accountable for it," said Sanchez.
"As we see it, the prosecutor's office is using nuanced language in the law to help protect a police officer who maliciously used physical force on a young man who posed no threat to the officer or anyone nearby. Further, the vile language used by Officer Cobane spells hatred," said Estela Ortega, Executive Director of Seattle's El Centro de la Raza.
Robbery victims and witnesses were able to identify the other two men, Hector Veteta-Contreras and Pedro Martinez-Najera, as having been armed during the robberies. A witness said Monetti was present during the robberies, but did not actively participate.
The prosecutor's office says Cobane was the only officer present who could have faced felony charges.
The case will be forwarded to the Seattle City Attorney's Office to determine whether Cobane or any of the other officers will face misdemeanor charges. Cobane could also face disciplinary action by the department.

Several years ago I spent time in Italy with my Italian friend when she went home to visit. While there we visited her friend in Liguria and was served this dish as it is very popular in that region. I loved it and make it often in the summer when I have so much fresh basil from the garden. I make it the way it was prepared in Italy. I boil the pasta, add the potatoes to the pasta during the last six minutes of boiling, and then add the green beans to the water during the last three minutes. Everything is drained and the pesto added and tossed. I didn't use the yogurt but that might be an interesting addition.
I made this with angel hair, and replaced the yogurt with light sour cream. Also added in mushrooms. Girlfriend is a PESTO FREAK and LOVED IT!
Kat, you've got a 5-star recipe here! I thought it was a delicious blend of flavor that I would be proud to serve guests. I didn't have any prepared pesto, although I do have LOTS of Lime Basil in my garden, so just used that in the yogurt sauce. I added walnuts and sauteed them in butter along with the potatoes and green beans as directed. Used just a bit of sugar with the yogurt to balance the tang. It's tasty to eat and pretty to look at!

The ingredients are just right. For inexperienced cooks, a few suggestions: while the water in the double boiler is heating, don't place the top pan over the water yet. Mix the sugar, salt and cornstarch together in a bowl, add milk and eggs. Beat all together, pour into the room-temperature top part of double boiler. When water is boiling, lower to a simmer, and place top pan over water. This method prevents lumps, and keeps pudding from sticking to pan. We also like to top the pudding with a bit of whipped cream. Thanks for a great recipe, Sue.
I have now made this recipe around 10 times and have found this is the closest to "what grandma used to make". I have found that this recipe can be doubled for taking to a dinner party. Also everyone who has tried it raves about how good it is and how it is the best tasting 'nana puddin' they have had in a while. One thing that I have found improves the flavor greatly is to use more vanilla and also to use butter instead of margarine. Thanks again for the great recipe!
TERRIFIC!! I wanted a recipe that had that old fashioned, made-from-scratch taste - THIS IS IT!! My family loves it!! I also added meringue and baked until it was a light brown.

ELWOOD, Ind. —
The Pendleton Heights Lady Arabians swept their way to an impressive 5-0 win over host Elwood in the first round of tennis sectionals Wednesday at the Max Hoppel Tennis Complex.
Pendleton's three singles players lost only one game combined in dominating a young Elwood squad.
"We played as well as we could play," coach Hoppel said afterward. "We're young and inexperienced and Pendleton is just good." The match resembled a similar 5-0 win by the Lady Arabians last week over the Lady Panthers. Pendleton coach Royce Hammel was happy with the win and the way the Lady Arabians seized control of the match. "We had just played them last week," Hammel said. "We were confident, but you still have to go out and play the point".
Pendleton's Carly Wilson took the No. 1 singles match 6-0, 6-0 over Mackenzi Boston, at No. 2 Emma McCardwell scored a 6-1, 6-0 win over Carly VanBuskirk and No. 3 Lauren Robertson won 6-0, 6-0 over Courtney Blankenship.
In doubles play, Pendleton's No. 1 duo of Audrey and Kayleigh Corn beat Maddi Runyan and Jordyn Wright 6-1, 6-0 and No. 2 Lina Larsson and Haley Augsburger defeated Taylor Penn and Tiffanie Hoel 6-0, 6-3.
Hammel was also pleased with his team's solid play at the right time of the year. "I think we are starting to peak a little bit at certain spots of the lineup and I am optimistic," he said. "Our doubles are continuously getting better and our singles pretty much carried us through the year."
Hoppel also saw positives in his team. "I'm really happy with how we struck the ball. We're definitely not on their (Pendleton's) level, but they (Elwood) probably stayed on the court longer than what everybody thought they would." Hoppel, the only girls' tennis coach in the history of the school, finished his 31st year at the helm for Elwood and still has the competitive fire at 69.
"I draw so much energy from these kids," a smiling Hoppel said. "Someday that's going to end, maybe another year, maybe two years, but I love them. I just have great kids and as long as I get that kind of kid coming out, I'm going to be here." Elwood will lose seniors Penn and Hoel.
For Pendleton, the win sets up a county tourney rematch with Anderson that the Lady Arabians won 4-1. "We played them in the county tournament and squeaked by 4-1," said Hammel. "Two of those matches went to third set tiebreakers and we got both of them. I told the girls it's a new season and you have to go out and prove themselves again."
The match will be at 4:30 today at Highland Middle School. The winner will advance to the finals on Friday, also at Hi

Mississippi lawmakers have officially ratified the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which banned slavery in 1865.
One hundred forty-eight years after three-fourths of the states voted to approve the amendment, Mississippi's legislature finally took steps to fix the glaring oversight last month. According to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, the decision was inspired by the Oscar-nominated film "Lincoln," which depicts the 16th president's efforts to enact the amendment.
After University of Mississippi Medical Center professor Dr. Ranjan Batra saw the film last year, he was inspired to look into what happened after states voted on the amendment. He found that while the state had originally rejected the slavery ban, the state legislature eventually voted to approve the amendment in 1995. The measure cleared both legislative chambers, but was never sent to the Office of the Federal Register and therefore never made official.
Batra then contacted another Mississippi resident, Ken Sullivan, who in turn got in touch with Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. Hosemann's office agreed to fix the oversight and file the paperwork, making the ratification official on February 7.
Click over to the Clarion-Ledger for more on how the amendment was finally ratified.
Mississippi was the last state to approve the amendment. Kentucky, the second-to-last holdout, ratified it in 1976.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated incorrectly that three-fifths of the states voted 148 years ago to approve the amendment. It was three-fourths.

Benjamin Franklin
We all know that Benjamin Franklin was an exemplary American, embodying the thrift, industriousness, and political equality we celebrate every Independence Day. He earned the title of "The First American" for his crusade to unite the original American colonies, but his loyalty to the U.S. may not have extended to his marriage. Despite his memorable paeans to the institution (Franklin famously said, "Marriage is the most natural state of man, and...the state in which you will find solid happiness") and his claim that "It is the man and woman united that make the complete human being," Franklin notoriously surrounded himself with female admirers. Though there are no reports of his consummating his relationships with these much younger, attractive women, Franklin was "a master of amorous friendship...expressed in exchanges of teasing kisses, tender embraces, intimate conversations and rhapsodic love letters, but not necessarily sexual congress."

George Washington
Our first president, George Washington, is famous for his inability to tell a lie. The honest streak that made him famous certainly benefited his wife, Martha Dandridge Custis. Although there is some ambiguity surrounding his relationship with Sally Fairfax, to whom he wrote letters alluding to his affections for her, by all reports any flirtation between the two was never acted upon after Washington married Martha. Photo Courtesy of Flickr: mbell1975
John Adams
John Adams' marriage to his third cousin Abigail was one of collaboration, communication and codependence. Correspondence between the two illuminates their mutual devotion and intellectual respect; the pair always referred to one another as "My Dearest Friend." Abigail influenced John politically, urging him to advocate for the abolition of slavery and against institutionalized sexism. By all accounts, our second president reportedly held his wife in high esteem and the pair shared a happy, faithful and loving marriage. Photo courtesy of Flickr: mbell1975
Thomas Jefferson
If there is any American president deserving of a Lothario title, it is certainly Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson, who owned hundreds of slaves throughout his life, fathered six children by his "slave concubine" Sally Hemings during a relationship that spanned at least 38 years. Although Jefferson freed all of Sally Hemmings' children, he did not free their mother. Jefferson's wife, Martha, died while giving birth to their sixth child.

John Jay
John Jay, known as the father of New York and the first Chief Justice of the United States, reportedly shared a happy marriage with his wife, Sarah Livingston. Jay held a greater variety of posts than any of America's other founders, and Sarah acted as a political liaison and diplomat, "astutely networking with the movers and shakers of the time." John relied on his wife considerably and the couple enjoyed a symbiotic relationship. Their marriage was a love match despite their ages -- he was 29, she was 18. Of their marriage, Sarah's brother wrote, "Mr. & Mrs. Jay can be unhappy no where. They love each other too well..." Photo courtesy of Flickr: Jay Heritage Center
James Madison
Our fourth president, the "Father of the Constitution" and author of the Bill of Rights, may have been a proponent of dividing power among the branches of government, but he did not believe in dividing his attention among women. James Madison married Dolley Payne Todd, a widow, and adopted her one surviving son. A charming, vivacious woman, Dolley sacrificed her place in the Quaker community to which her family belonged in order to marry Madison. Ostracized from the Friends Church for marrying outside her faith, Dolley assumed the role of White House hostess, holding dinner parties, salons and helping Madison to win reelection in 1812.

Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton suffered through one of the first public media scandals of America's history -- but with good reason. The first United States Secretary of Treasury was forced to resign from office out of sheer embarrassment when his three-year extramarital affair with Maria Reynolds became public. Reynolds' husband, a convicted swindler named James Reynolds, blackmailed Hamilton, demanding a fee for his silence. But when a political pamphlet revealed the Reynolds liaison, Hamilton admitted, "My crime is an amorous connection with [James Reynolds'] wife." Hamilton responded with his own pamphlet, publishing an "appallingly thorough account of the affair." Despite Hamilton's partially self-inflicted public humiliation and irreparably damaged reputation, his wife Betsey stood by her man and remained his wife until his untimely death during an infamous duel at the hands of political opponent Aaron Burr.

OSI Opens Membership to Individuals
Open Source Initiative seeks to broaden its base.
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has announced that it is accepting applications for Individual Membership, starting immediately. Open source community members worldwide are invited to join OSI now.
The OSI, which was founded in 1998, is a non-profit organization that "advocates for open source software and builds bridges between open source communities." According to the announcement, OSI's board members thought it was time to expand the base of the OSI and give open source developers, users, and vendors a direct role in its mission of education, advocacy, and unity.
The press release states that the new Individual Membership category allows individuals who support the mission and work of the OSI to join discussions about that work, to be represented in the evolving governance of the OSI, and to spin up task-focused Working Groups to tackle open source community needs. Individual members also are asked to make a tax-deductible donation to support the mission of OSI.
"The transformation of the OSI into a member-based organization is a timely and important step for the worldwide open source community," said Simon Phipps, OSI President. "I encourage everyone to visit opensource.org/join and take a stand for open source."

The Monterey 320 SY has an impressive list of standard features and a level of luxury that make her worth looking into. Welcome aboard…Our first glance of the Monterey 320 SY showed a boat with Sterling and Onyx graphics, and as it turned out, this was one of 10 graphics packages offered on this yacht. That's a welcome start for a boat that is in a market dominated with an "any color you want as long as it's white" mentality. The swim platform has an optional teak inlay (add $2,883), and it does a great job of adding to the luxurious look that this boat already presented. The cockpit is the usual layout of U-shaped settee to starboard with a removable pedestal table and sunpad aft. There is an entertainment center to port with the option of adding a refrigerator (add $1,333), an icemaker (add $1,500), and even the now requisite LCD TV (add $3,000). While we're not big fans of cockpit TVs, if you're going to do it, do it right. Monterey incorporates the TV's external inputs into the radar arch. Very convenient. While those may not be on your "must have" list, the cockpit carpet should be (add $917) for keeping the bare feet cool and adding traction while in a seaway. We love that the cockpit deck is all on one level and a step up from the swim platform for improved visibility. The pedestal table mount is on a vertical panel against the settee. We'd rather see it mounted on the deck so that it can hold more weight, for leaning on, and won't get in the way when you have to "scootch" across the seat.Note how the cockpit deck is all on one level. The port side entertainment center has options for an icemaker or refrigerator. The cockpit carpet is optional. Check out the wide helm and companions seats. Integrated molded steps lead to the bow. The pedestal table mount is vertical below the seats. This usually turns into a warranty repair when people start leaning on the table.The Helm...We like the layout of the helm. It's very businesslike with good sightlines and functionality. Monterey offers three electronics packages, with the top end having the Raymarine E-80 VHF, chartplotter/GPS, and radar (add $11,667). The chartplotter display is front and center and engine info goes across the top, where you can see at a glance if something is amiss. We'd rather see the drink holders moved to the sides of the seat and save the coveted dash space for a non-skid surface for "stuff"... sunglasses, cell phone, etc... The rocker switches are laid out in a very workable position and grouped properly, and circuit breakers are in an easily accessed spot right below the panel and in clear sight. The grey panel reduces glare and has a no nonsense military appeal to it. An upgrade to the stainless steel windshield frame (add $4,667) might be advisable for saltwater boaters, plus it looks classy. Seating is double wide for both the helmsman (40"/101.6 cm) and the portside companion (36"/91.44 cm).Cabin class…Heading below, we find a cabin that offers roominess and functionality. Forward is a full size berth with a seat in front of it. This is a very clever layout, as it allows for full seating in the salon while still being able to use the berth if desired. This arrangement does have the drawback of not allowing for storage drawers on the sides of the berth, and accessibility is always a climb, but since most buyers of these boats use the berths sparingly, it's a fair trade off and a workable solution to the demands of space. Notice how the berth has seating in front for better utilization of the salon. The sofa, to starboard converts to a sleeper, the deck is synthetic wood for good looks and low maintenance.The decking is a synthetic wood, and it has a nice teak and holly look to it. There's an option for a lay down carpet for the cabin (add $417) but what a shame it would be to cover that deck up. Natural light enters the cabin from both the sides and above. In the galley, the coffeemaker, dual-burner electric stove, designer faucet, microwave, refrigerator, and stainless steel sink are all standard. To starboard, the salon includes a 22'' flat screen, sleeper sofa, and stereo. The pedestal table can be removed for added space, and placed in dedicated storage. Notice the wood slats in the mini blinds. The open stairs keep the guests in the mid-cabin part of the conversation, and a privacy curtain closes the area off for sleeping. The 22'' flat screen is standard, as is the sleeper sofa. Notice the fold down armrest in the sofa that also includes storage for the TV remote. To aft is the mid-cabin stateroom that can be closed off with a privacy curtain, or left open for seating and joining the conversation in the main salon. Specs and power…If choices are what make the difference between you buying a boat and walking away, then the Monterey 320 SY should have you sitting at the table with your checkbook. If the graphics choices aren't enough to convince you, then a glance at the power choices will do the trick. There are no less than 30 engine options to power your 320 SY with, all divided between Merc and Volvo. The base boat, with twin Volvo 5.0 270-hp GXi engines has a MSRP of $216,321. The Monterey 320 SY has a LOA of 33'10" (10.3 m), a beam of 10'10" (3.3 m), and a draft of 40" (101.6 cm). As this is a new model, and barely off the assembly line, she hasn't made her way to the scales yet, so displacement is still TBD. Fuel capacity is 180 gallons (681.37 L) and water is 42 gallons (159 L). With all that said, if you're still on the fence, then the deciding factor to the quality of the boat you're going to buy is warranty. Monterey stands behind their product with a lifetime limited warranty, and that speaks volumes. Clearly, Monterey built the new 320 SY to hold its own in a head to head comparison with any other boat on your short list. All that's left to compare are the performance numbers, and they will be coming shortly. Let's at least give Monterey a chance to fill the tanks first. Stay tuned.

Enter the Warzone, light reading for light-headed readers.
• Twenty years ago, a green reporter at an 11,000-circulation newspaper stood inside the visiting clubhouse at Candlestick Park working up the nerve to approach the great Tony Gwynn for an interview.
Fifteen minutes later, the reporter left Gywnn's locker wondering if all professional athletes were so accommodating and friendly.
Nope, just Gwynn. The man was a .338 career hitter who batted 1.000 as a human being.
• Gwynn attributed his rare form of head and neck cancer to decades of chewing tobacco.
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum ... and you'll wind up with a hole in your cheek and cancer in your gums.
• Watching Brazil, The Netherlands and Germany in their opening World Cup matches has given us a better understanding of why the sport's popularity lags in the U.S. compared to the rest of the world.
Soccer played by Americans looks nothing like that.
• The U.S. dominated the first minute and the 86th. Besides that, it was all Ghana.
Good win, but it still doesn't explain how a country with 275 million fewer people can field a more athletic team.
• Moments after John Brooks scored the winning goal, someone updated Brooks' Wikipedia page to read "He is the greatest American since Abraham Lincoln."
Yes, soccer fans are passionate.
• In a perfect world, Rodney Terry would have to "prove it" for one more year before getting a three-year contract extension.
In the real world, Fresno State had to act now so that Terry's status doesn't become an issue.
• Terry is a top-notch recruiter, yet it took him three years to assemble a legitimate Division I roster.
Which only further illustrates how downtrodden the program was when he arrived.
• Won-loss records and APR scores are nice. But more than anything, Fresno State needs men's basketball to make money for the athletic department.
The program lost $92,636 during the 2012-'13 academic year, according to figures the university reported to the Department of Education.
That cannot continue.
• Only a week ago, Giants fans were walking on air.
Six losses in seven games later they're trudging through foot-deep mud in flip-flops.
• Closer Sergio Romo has a 19.80 ERA against the Rockies and 1.93 against everyone else.
Yet Bruce Bochy keeps putting him out there against Colorado. For reasons known only to him.
• A little reality check for those expecting instant success for every local baseball player chosen in the recent draft:
Carlos Salazar, 1-6 with a 10.60 ERA for the Class-A Rome Braves. (Since demoted to rookie ball.)
• Four words longtime Grizzlies fans never thought they'd read: designated hitter Brian Bocock.
• Anyone who wants Derek Carr to have a long, productive NFL career had better hope he doesn't start as a rookie.
Not with those tailbacks and receivers ...
• Yes, we realize Oakland signed Maurice Jones-Drew to pair with Darren McFadden.
Too bad it isn't 2010.
• For no particular reason: Sterling Hitchcock
• The U.S. Open? More like open and shut.
• On this date 20 years ago, a white Ford Bronco, with O.J. Simpson in the back seat, led Los Angeles police on a slow-speed chase along the 405 freeway.
Ninety-five million Americans were glued to their TVs. Which is some 83 million more than have ever watched the Daytona 500.
So much for a need for speed.
