President Jacob Zuma
President of the Republic of South Africa
Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma was born in 1942 in Inkandla, KwaZulu Natal to Gcinamazwi and Nokubhekisisa Zuma.
Forced by circumstance to educate himself - his father had died and his mother could not afford to pay for formal schooling - he established an informal school in his village.
Influenced by a trade unionist family member, he became involved in politics at an early age, joining the ANC in 1958. He became an active member of the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, in 1962, following the banning of the ANC in 1960.
While on his way out of the country in 1963, he was arrested with a group of 52 recruits near Zeerust, and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, which he served on Robben Island. After his release, Zuma helped mobilise internal resistance and was instrumental in the re-establishment of ANC underground structures in the then Natal between 1974 and 1975.
He left South Africa in December 1975 and for the next 12 years was based in Southern Africa, first in Swaziland and then Mozambique. During this period he was involved in underground work with former President Thabo Mbeki and others, giving leadership to ANC structures operating inside South Africa.
He also dealt with the thousands of young exiles that poured out of South Africa in the wake of the Soweto uprising in June 1976. He became a member of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) in 1977. By the end of the 1980s he was head of the ANC Intelligence Department. He became widely known in this critical position at a time when the ANC had the difficult task of protecting the organisation from infiltration and to ensure its survival.
Following the unbanning of the ANC in February 1990, he was one of the first ANC leaders to return to South Africa to begin the process of negotiations with the then apartheid regime. Like other leaders involved in talks he had to convince the ANC membership and support base of the need to negotiate with an apartheid regime that was intent on maintaining its power and influence.
He was instrumental in organising the Groote-Schuur Minute between the De Klerk government and the ANC that reached important decisions about the return of exiles and the release of political prisoners.
His strategic thinking and conflict resolution skills played a pivotal role in ending conflict in KwaZulu Natal and the then PWV region, where state-sponsored violence was tearing communities apart.
In 1991, at the first ANC conference held in South Africa since 1959, he was elected Deputy Secretary General.
After the 1994 elections, Zuma requested to be deployed to KwaZulu Natal to work to cement peace between the ANC and Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP).
He joined the provincial government as MEC of Economic Affairs and Tourism. He played an instrumental role in normalising relations within the multiparty government of the ANC and IFP.
As MEC Zuma worked hard to develop the tourism industry in the province and was highly regarded by the sector. He created a good working relationship between business and labour, and worked tirelessly to facilitate new investments into the KwaZulu Natal economy.
In December 1994, he was elected ANC National Chairperson. An exception was made in the ANC Constitution to allow him to serve as both provincial chairperson and National Chairperson.
Zuma was elected ANC Deputy President in December 1997.
He served as Deputy President of South Africa from 1999 until June 2005.
During his tenure he distinguished himself in his role as mediator and facilitator of peace on the continent, especially in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
As Leader of Government Business, he worked to ensure good working relations between government and political parties in Parliament, and between Parliament and the Executive.
He kick-started the process of promoting positive values through the launch of the Moral Regeneration Movement.
In 1998 he established the Jacob Zuma RDP Educational Trust Fund. The fund has educated more than 20,000 children at primary school level to university. Beneficiaries are primarily from impoverished backgrounds in rural areas.
Zuma was elected ANC President in December 2007, becoming the ANC's candidate for South African president in the 2009 elections.
President Zuma has four spouses, Ms Sizakele Khumalo (MaKhumalo), Ms Nompumelelo Ntuli (MaNtuli), Ms Tobeka Madiba (KaMadiba) and Ms Bongi Ngema-Zuma (MaNgema). He has 21 children.
He loves sports especially soccer and rugby and was a keen soccer player in his youth. He dabbled in ballroom dancing on Robben Island. South Africans know and love him for his prowess on the dance floor and his impeccable vocal chords.
Zuma has received several awards, including the Nelson Mandela Award for Outstanding Leadership in Washington DC, US (1998), and honorary doctorates from University of Fort Hare, University of Zululand, Medical University of Southern Africa, University of Limpopo (2001), University of Zambia (2009), American University of Nigeria, University of Abomey-Calavi of Benin (2011),Texas Southern University (2011), Honorary Professorship from the Peking University (PKU) of the People's Republic of China (2012) and Honorary Doctorate of Leadership in Humanity from Limkokwing University, Malaysia (2013).
He was elected President of the Republic of South Africa on 6 May 2009. He was inaugurated at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 9 May 2009.

Just a few weeks ago, we let you know that Audi had scrapped its inefficient 4.2-liter V-8 engine in favor of a boosted V-6, but that there may be a new V-8 in the making. Well, that "may be" just became a certainty, as Audi has just announced that a new V-8 is coming to the A8.
This new V-8 is actually one that is already on Audi's shelves: It is the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 used in the S6 and S7 models. This puppy will pump out a healthy 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque and turn the new top-level A8 into the A8 4.0T.
The A8 4.0T is slated to debut in the 2013 model year and it'll carry with it an $81,795 base price tag and an $88,095 price tag for the A8L 4.0T, which is the long wheelbase model. The pricing points give the 8 4.0T a nice slot right between the base A8 3.0T and the flagship S8 model.
We are sure there is tons more information to come from Audi , as it works its way closer to competing with BMW and Mercedes more effectively. The addition of turbo to the A8 line will certainly help speed along that process.
We'll keep you updated if any more information becomes available.

Its demonstrative video shows items that were treated with NeverWet do not get wet or stained, even when someone gets slimed.
After treating a few items with NeverWet, Andy Wise prepared his own tests, including his own NeverWet suit. Will it work?
Don't buy it until Andy tries it!

Agriculture and Food Systems
Agriculture is key to the success of rural communities. It contributes significantly to the quality of life and state identity for Rural New York. The project recommends improving the competitiveness and sustainability of food and agricultural systems by educating consumers, officials, and farmers about relevant issues, and by improving regulation, planning, research and development of food and agricultural systems. Additionally, the project recommends increasing agricultural profitability and community wellness by improving the connection between agriculture and food and communities.
Agriculture-minded New Yorkers are concerned about public policy. They believe that farms contribute substantial, tangible benefits to communities. In return, farms would like some opportunities, including more favorable tax treatment and increased access to economic development resources, such as applied research and grant programs.
- Farmland protection and purchase of development rights (PDR)
- Alternative energy production
- Research successful models from other states
- Loyalty to local foods, for example through distribution and promotion in schools, institutions, and groceries
- Consistent labeling/branding/marketing for NY products
- Cooperative efforts on various levels including farmer-to-farmer, farmer-to-community, and regional
- Regional agritourism and the development of direct and niche markets
- Issues of scale, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency
- Support for small farms, start-up farms, intergenerational farm-transfer, youth agricultural programs
- Sustainable environmental management
- Farm to School
- Agriculture in the Classroom
- "Come Farm with Us"
- "Pride of NY"
- Various "buy local" campaigns
Young people choosing non-farming careers is a major challenge to the future of agriculture in NYS. Policy and community leaders must overcome the negative perception of agriculture, promote awareness of local agricultural careers, support opportunities for youth who want to farm, and encourage the overall appreciation of agriculture to change this trend.
Other challenges to the future of agriculture in New York State include:
- Zoning, competing land uses, and increasing land prices
- Farm labor shortages including lack of qualified and stable labor, entry-level labor
- High cost of doing business, especially in terms of health care/insurance, and tax structure
- Aging farm population, with corresponding lack of opportunities for youth
- Lack of infrastructure to support local manufacturing facilities, value-added and small scale processing such as found in local slaughterhouses, dairy plants, etc.
- Conflict between agricultural and residential uses, rural and urban populations

Great walks: Indie nightlife
Indie bars and live-music venues thrive in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Williamsburg
Thu Jul 12 2012

Great Walks 2012: TV, movie and book-inspired strolls around NYC
New York nightlife goes far beyond glitzy nightclubs and surly bouncers, especially in Brooklyn. Get to know the cool bars and indie live-music spots that are still flying under the radar in Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
RECOMMENDED: See all Great Walks
Start: 597 Manhattan Ave between Driggs and Nassau Aves, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
End: 351 Broadway between Rodney and Keap Sts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Distance: 1.2 miles
- Price band: 2/4
Folks in the neighborhood refer to the nameless bar at 597 Manhattan Ave (between Driggs and Nassau Aves, Greenpoint, Brooklyn) as everything from Weekend at Bernie's and Malaria Bar to Woodpussy. Debate the moniker—or think up a new one—while you and your crew crack open $4 Tecates at one of the picnic tables in the spacious backyard (open weeknights until 11pm, weekends 1am). You may be there for a while, so when hunger pangs strike, head downstairs: The small but mighty kitchen churns out excellent oxtail or pork-belly ramen made with hand-pulled noodles ($12). If you're in a more energetic mood, head down the street to sister spot Bar Matchless (557 Manhattan Ave between Driggs and Nassau Aves, Greenpoint, Brooklyn; 718-383-5333, facebook.com/barmatchless), which hosts numerous events throughout the week, including a weekly Heavy Metal Parking Lot karaoke session (Wed 10pm).
- Free
As you walk through McCarren Park along Bedford Avenue, you'll find a simple yet bold black-and-white mural (168 North 8th St at Bedford Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; federicofrum.com) by Federico Frum. Big-name companies such as Nike and Coca-Cola have commissioned the painter, but this particular work—portraying the father of local burger-joint owner John Seymour—exudes a much grittier, less commercial feel.
- Price band: 2/4
A pair of sisters transformed their former pierogi shop into intimate lounge K&M (225 North 8th St at Roebling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-388-3088). The retro seating and hanging lamps—remnants of the venue's Polish-kitchen days—lend a homey feel to the space, which is filled with laid-back regulars. Take their lead and hit up the bar's nightly happy hour (4–8pm), when you can snag $5 bourbons or get $1 off well drinks and draft beers.
- Price band: 2/4
Tucked discretely inside Lovin' Cup Cafe, Cameo (93 North 6th St between Berry St and Wythe Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-302-1180, cameony.com) packs an industrial back room with indie-music obsessives searching for the next stars of CMJ. The sound may not be the best, but tickets are cheap ($5–$20) if not free, and you'll be so close to the performers, the speaker quality won't even matter. We're particularly psyched for Xenia Rubinos's angst-filled vocals (Fri 13) and Moon Boots' electronic-disco-house instrumentals (Sat 14).
You're well into your groove now: Pick up the pace at Good Co. (10 Hope St between Havemeyer and Roebling Sts; 718-218-7191, goodcobk.com), where programmers rally the local crowd with fun parties every weekend. You can find your mojo without getting groped at the Saturday dance party, which features two local DJ groups, the Gorges Boys (second and fourth Sat) and the Rude Dudes (first and third Sat). On Sunday nights, Good Co. hosts the Kings of Karaoke, an eight-member collective of sing-along enthusiasts who float around Brooklyn. The nightspot's monthly summer BBQs have a bonus: $10 plates (provided by Mable's Smokehouse on Wed 20 and Gwynnett St on Aug 15), as well as $3 pints of Brooklyn Brewery's signature lager.
- Price band: 2/4
Should you attempt this nightlife crawl midweek, cap off your evening at Partytime Excellent, the Wednesday bash at Trophy Bar (351 Broadway between Rodney and Keap Sts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 347-227-8515). Local spinner DJ Luiz amps up the caipirinha-swilling crowd with everything from Latin to funk from 9pm until the wee hours (usually 2am). If your weekly partying starts even sooner, take advantage of the bar's Taco Tuesdays, when you can wash down a pair of tacos or chips and guac ($5 each) with $4 margaritas from 5–8pm.

We start by inviting the squabbling staff members to take the conversation outside the salon and see it they can resolve it for themselves. If these situations continue to surface from the same two players, we empower and encourage them to figure out what the deeper issue is by putting them in a situation where they have to work together, such as a photo shoot or teaching a class. The activity doesn't matter, the point is they are forced to work together to achieve a common goal, which will ultimately give them a deeper and broader understanding of themselves. I hold them both accountable. If they can't resolve the issue, they're telling me the conflict is worth more to them than their jobs."
Kitty Tierney, owner of Impressions Salon and Spa in Mequon, Wisconsin: "I have to say this has rarely been a problem in my 25 years in the business. There will always be squabbles, but I ask the staff to come to me with a solution, not a problem. But you have to deal with challenges right away. If you procrastinate, it always gets worse."
Lauren Gartland, founder of Inspiring Champions: "The major cause of these types of breakdowns is no communication or miscommunication among the parties. When this occurs, the smallest thing will set them off. Solution: We have to get to the bottom of why they don't get along. Again, if you have a strong code of honor they have agreed to, you have a safe place where they can express anything, anytime. Once we know the cause, we can come up with a solution that both can agree on to move beyond this."
Christine Zilinski, owner of Salon Concrete in Red Bank, New Jersey: "At Salon Concrete, we have an outside coach who comes in and works with the staff on having good communication. In the past, the staff would come to me with their issues and I would try to solve everyone's problems. The communication coach explained that it's not my job to solve everyone's problems, but instead to clearly communicate that the salon does not tolerate this behavior, then give them the tools to deal with the issue themselves.
"I will coach the staff through the process of how to have a conversation with the person they have issues with, and I will even sit in on the conversation. The young stylists from the millennial generation typically need extra help with interpersonal communications. Because of the popularity of e-mail and text conversations, they have become ill-equipped to handle emotional situations.
"Eighty percent of our business is relationship- driven—having good communication is just as important as knowing how to do a good hair cut. We believe we are teaching the staff important skills that will help them in the salon and beyond for the rest of their lives."

Throughout the third season of HBO's Boardwalk Empire, our writers will discuss the ins and outs of each episode. Please beware of spoilers.
Vinny Ginardi: When we think of New Year's eve we think of change, or more specifically, one year ending and transitioning into the next. So while many of our characters celebrated (or at least acknowledged) the ringing in of the new year in the season three premiere, I couldn't help but notice the change that the characters, their storylines, and the show itself have experienced since the end of season two.
The most obvious of course being the absence of Jimmy Darmody, whom Nucky Thompson killed in the season two finale. While it probably made the most sense for the narrative and I appreciated that the writers would attempt such a bold move, my biggest concern coming into season three was that the show would be less interesting without Jimmy, who had become the series' most compelling character. But the premiere showed that Boardwalk Empire is shifting into a Jimmy-less era. While his character was felt through other characters (his son, Richard, etc.), Jimmy's name was never mentioned.
Instead, we were introduced a new character who will most likely be eating up some of Jimmy's air time: Gyp Rosetti. We meet Gyp in the episode's opening scene, where he went all Tuco Salamanca and beat a guy to death over a small comment. He's an easily angered guy and it looks like he will cause some problems for our main characters down the road.
As for our already established characters, much has already changed. We learn right away that Nucky has become much more hands-on in the gangster sides of his business, ordering a man to be executed in his first scene. Nelson's life is completely different from the one he lived in during the first two seasons (heck, he's even living under a different name) and Richard Harrow, though still good with a gun, has become Gillian's caretaker, serving somewhat as a parent to Jimmy and Angela's son Tommy. And while Al Capone is the same old Al Capone, it appears that he might have one of the main storylines this season with Dean O'Bannion, which is a change I certianly approve of.
Overall I thought this was a great first episode that needed to and successfully served as both a premiere and a transition. It might be too early to tell but a Jimmy-less Boardwalk Empire might not be so bad after all.
Mike Aurigemma: One of the things that I feel this show has done a great job of so far is really capturing the culture of what it was like back in the 1920s. This could very easily get pretty difficult to deal with at times, but I think the writers have done a flawless job at that. This episode once again proved that to me as things that I saw as bizarre were just a part of the culture back then.
These first few episodes will really make or break this season as Vinny mentioned how this will be a pretty big turning point. We will be introduced to new characters and new storylines and after watching this past episode I am excited about the possibilities.
The plot that will involve Al Capone and Dean O'Bannion is something that this show needs. At times having all of the drama go through New Jersey could get stale and throwing the Al Capone storyline is going to add some fireworks to the show for sure.
I see Nucky having to go up against two fronts in Gyp who clearly does not care who he has to kill and also Richard who I can already tell will be a thorn in Nucky's side. Gyp seems like he will bring some muscle to the table, but there is no way he can out think Nucky and that will eventually be his downfall in my opinion.
There looks to be a lot more side stories that we will see throughout this season as well with Nelson of course being someone to watch and we cannot forget about Margaret who still has a lot of firepower that she can hurt Nucky with.
If there is one person I am hoping to see more from it is Charles "Lucky" Luciano, but as of now I am extremely satisfied with the direction of the show.

I have had this deep cystic pimple for over nearly 3 weeks now. It's really deep. It took about 2 weeks for me to see a head. I then got a needle disinfected and popped the head and pushed the crap out until it actually burst. But the problem is the cyst is all together but had more than one head, i take it the infection spread. One of the sides the head has still not come up and when i put my hands aorund it I feel a lump. I cant already see some pigmentation developing where i popped the other head. I want to get rid of this ASAP without having to get some cortisone shot at dermatoligst as this is too expensive and out of the question. It just the one big lump. WHAT CAN I DO? I tried benzoyl peroxide DUAC medice but its just doesnt penetrate at all, so useless. Also tried toothpaste and ice nothing working. THis is one of the stubborn types but im worried about scarring. I ordered tea tree oil but stupid seller slow at delivery, hope that will work. Any major suggestions from experience individuals?? HOW LONG!!!????
Thanks for any advice/help, I can't live with this i know after I will have to suffer 2-3 months of the hyperpigmentation.

The only thing that makes those gp away is getting them injected by a derm. It helps ALOT.

No more squeezing! That will only cause the pimple to rupture underneath the skin and that can lead to scarring, plus spread of the infection. Please follow the instructions at the bottom of my signature in the link there. It won't work overnight, but you have to be consistent in applying ice and taking ibuprofen and using the antibiotic cream and bandaid at night. Don't just try it for one day and say it doesn't work. The methods will work (and have for me) for even the large, deep pimples that take months to go away.
Do not mess with the lesion anymore at ALL.

Now this is an art. Great story and very, very, very good animation. It was really enjoyable to watch.
I didn't like the ending. It seemed out of the place and...I don't know...the build up was so big that I was expecting something better and scarier. Don't get me wrong, the ending was scary, in a weird way, but not what I was hoping for.
Still, it would be a sin not to give it a maximum score. You've put a lot of hard work in it and it shows.

ROME: What does 'SPQR' mean?
SPQR is an initialism from a Latin phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus - The Senate and People of Rome, referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official emblem of the modern day comune (municipality) of Rome. It appears on coins, at the end of documents made public by inscription in stone or metal, in dedications of monuments and public works, and was emblazoned on the standards of the Roman legions. The phrase appears many hundreds of times in Roman political, legal and historical literature, including the speeches of Marcus Tullius Cicero and the history of Titus Livius. Since the meaning and the words never vary, except for the spelling and inflection of populus in literature, Latin dictionaries classify it as a formula.
Historical Context
The phrase's date of origin is not known, but its meaning places it generally after the founding of the Roman Republic. The two legal entities mentioned, Senatus and the Populus Romanus, are sovereign when combined. However, where populus is sovereign alone, Senatus is not. Under the Roman Monarchy neither entity was sovereign. The phrase, therefore, can be dated to no earlier than the foundation of the Republic.
This signature continued in use under the Roman Empire. The emperors were considered the representatives of the people even though the senatus consulta, or decrees of the Senate, were made at the pleasure of the emperor.
Populus Romanus in Roman literature is a phrase meaning the government of the People. When the Romans named governments of other countries they used populus in the singular or plural, such as populi Priscorum Latinorum, "the governments of the Old Latins". Romanus is the established adjective used to distinguish the Romans, as in civis Romanus, "Roman citizen". The locative, Romae, "at Rome", was never used for that purpose.
The Romans believed that all authority came from the people. It could be said that similar language seen in more modern political and social revolutions directly comes from this usage. People in this sense meant the whole government. The latter, however, was essentially divided into the aristocratic Senate, whose will was executed by the consuls and praetors, and the comitia centuriata, "committee of the centuries", whose will came to be safeguarded by the Tribunes.

Myton • The center of Utah's latest crude oil boom is a tiny hamlet in eastern Utah, built more than a century ago near the only bridge that crossed the Duchesne River.
It is here in Myton (pop. 659), on the outskirts of Roosevelt, that the largest oil-producing company working in the state is developing 230,000 acres of fields — nearly one-third the size of Rhode Island.
Unita Basin: Newfield Exploration Co.
Ranking » Largest oil producer in Utah by twice over second- and third-ranked companies combined
Platforms » Running three rigs in Monument Butte, four in nearby Central Basin in eastern Utah
Producing wells » More than 1,800 in Monument Butte; exploratory work in newly acquired Central Basin
Firm » Based in Texas, with operations in Rocky Mountains, mid-continent, Texas, Gulf of Mexico, Malaysia, China
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Newfield Exploration Co., an independent energy company based in The Woodlands, Texas, has invested more than $1.7 billion in its Utah holdings, producing a low-sulfur oil the consistency of boot polish. In Salt Lake City, 175 miles to the west, three of the state's five refineries are planning upgrades or expansions to process more of this Utah crude —most of it supplied by Newfield.
The crude is so thick that it must be heated to get it out of the well bore. Each day, about 100 insulated tanker trucks pump the oil from Newfield's surface tanks at wells dotting gravel roads that wind their way through flatlands, canyons and majestic buttes.
The company supplies nearly 30 percent of Utah crude — twice the amount produced by second-and third-ranking Resolute Natural Resources and El Paso E&P combined. In all, about 75 percent of the state's crude is coming out of the Uinta Basin — and that total is expected to increase, given the number of new wells, said John Rogers, an associate director with the Utah Division of Oil Gas & Mining.
The boom created by all this activity is generating two distinct feelings in the region — one, that this aura of oil prosperity may actually endure for a few years, and, the other, that amid this time of plenty there are more than a few challenges to worry about.
"I've seen five or six booms and busts," said Ken Bassett, the city manager of nearby Vernal, a 35-year veteran of local government. "But this time, I believe the boom will be consistent — without a bust."
Of course, with the good almost always comes some bad, including the fact that despite all the development generated by Newfield and others, infrastructure in the oil-rich Uinta Basin is minimal at best. Day and night, oil tanker trucks rumble along U.S. Highway 40, speeding the high-maintenance crude to Salt Lake's refinery row, adding to environmental concerns associated with the rise in production. Hotel rooms in the region typically are booked two to four weeks in advance.
The largest municipality is Vernal, 40 miles to the east of Newfield's Myton headquarters. But even that hardscrabble town has no major rail line, and its population has yet to break past 10,000 souls.
"I can see crude oil production increase tenfold over the next five years, but the question is what do we do with it?" said state Sen. Kevin Van Tassell, R-Vernal. "We can continue to add congestion on the highways, but in the long run this is not sustainable."
For now, the drilling goes on.
Full bore • Newfield is running three rigs in the shallow Green River formation on its Greater Monument Butte holdings with nearly 1,800 productive wells pumping about 25,000 barrels of oil per day. Each rig can drill 45 wells to 90 wells per year.
Monument Butte, comprising 80,000 acres, is known as a water-flooded secondary recovery area, referring to a common method of extraction in which water is injected back into a reservoir to increase pressure and stimulate production.
Daryll Howard, vice president of Newfield Rocky Mountain Business Unit called Monument Butte "the largest federal secondary-recovery unit in the lower 48 states."
To the north, Newfield also has four rigs in its nearby Central Basin area, acquired last year to target oil in deeper geologic formations. This area, 80,000 acres of private lands and about 60 ,000 acres from deals with the Ute Tribe, is producing 7,500 barrels of oil per day.
"We're getting encouraging results from horizontal wells," said Steve Campbell, Newfield vice president of investor relations. "A lot of our growth in the next several years will be driven by the Central Basin."
The company estimates that there are 6,000 potential wells on its holdings with 700 million barrels of oil in place.
"It's very important for America to have more crude production," said Leslie Haines, editor-in-chief for the Houston-based Oil and Gas Investor. "Newfield used to produce mostly natural gas, but like many companies it has had to diversify to have a mixture of both oil and gas. It's an important asset for Newfield."
In December, Newfield signed a seven-year deal to provide 18,000 barrels of oil a day to Tesoro's Salt Lake refinery, which plans to double its current capacity within the next two years. The next month, Newfield inked a 10-year contract with HollyFrontier Corp. to supply 20,000 barrels a day. HollyFrontier plans to process 40,000 barrels daily after 2016, up from its capacity of 10,000 barrels a day. In addition, Chevron is updating its refinery to take more Utah crude, but declines to release figures.

EL PASO, Texas — UPDATE: A shooting in Northeast El Paso left one man dead and police looking for answers.
Police think the shooting, that left a 17-year old male dead, was gang related. They wouldn't say why they believe that.
The teen was shot in the chest at least once. But it looks like several shots were fired at a car. Glass was broken around it.
The shooting happend at about 7:30 p.m. on Debeers Dr. and Shenandoah. Much of the surrounding area is taped off, but should be clear by the morning.
Police tell Local 4 News they have no one in custody, but also that no one is in danger. These are muddled answers, we're looking to clarify.
A 17-year-old is dead after a shooting in Northeast, and police believe it may be gang-related.
It happened on Debeers Dr. and Shenandoah near Andress High School before 8 p.m. Monday evening.
El Paso police say the teen was shot in the chest.
A Local 4 News photographer could see a vehicle riddled with bullets.

Single and multifamily projects now account for about 45 percent of the value of all construction projects started in the U.S. this year and increasingly, these projects are investing in high-performance green building techniques, according to a new SmartMarket Report from McGraw Hill Construction. Not only did homebuilders and remodelers increase their acceptance and practice of high-performance building from 2006 to 2011, but they also anticipate continued growth of the green-building market, according to the report, "Green Multifamily and Single Family Homes: Growth in a Recovering Market."
The report surveyed builders and remodelers from the National Association of Home Builders and found the following evidence supporting the expansion of green building:
The report also summarized key market drivers that respondents say affect their decision to build green, identifying three main triggers: energy cost increases; code, ordinance, and regulation changes; and green product availability and affordability. Other strong drivers were customer demand, government or utility incentives, and increased publicity for the builder.

Recent editorials from Georgia newspapers:
Sept. 8
Albany (Georgia) Herald on U.S. needing solidarity:
Where the United States is headed in relation to dealing with ISIL may be known by midweek.
Reuters reported Monday that congressional sources said President Barack Obama will be meeting today with top congressional leaders — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — before meeting with the Senate, probably on Wednesday before he outlines his approach to the nation Wednesday night in a televised address. From there, the news service reported, Obama would meet Thursday with the U.S. House.
What he'll be asking Congress and the American public to support, according to reports from the White House on Monday, is placing money into a counter-terrorism fund that would be used to train and equip others to battle extremists such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. According to Reuters reports, that training and equipping fund is the primary component of Obama's strategy for dealing with the Islamic State, which has made a wreck of much of Iraq and murdered two American citizens.
Over the weekend, the president said he was going to lay out his "game plan" for dealing with Islamic militants. While he said he believed he had the authority to carry out his plan anyway, he was going to meet with the Legislature in an attempt to get congressional "buy in." He also said that he may need for Congress to authorize additional funding for the plan.
It's certainly time for a solid strategy to be revealed. From labeling ISIL a "junior varsity" group last winter to admitting last month that, despite ISIL's rampage, "we don't have a strategy yet," the issue of these unchecked, homicidal militants and the dangers they represent has dogged the administration.
We're faced with a long-term, costly struggle to maintain our freedoms — and the security of our allies — in the face of those who want to force their will and ways on the world through violence, hated and terror.
We hope that the president's plan addresses those realities.

The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle on unswerving ideals:
He epitomized the expression "doing well by doing good."
His chicken sandwiches made him a fortune, but his virtuous business practices and philanthropy made him famous.
S. Truett Cathy, the beloved founder and longtime CEO of Chick-fil-A Inc., died Monday at age 93.
The unwavering principles that made him a lightning rod for criticism in today's era of moral elasticity also earned him respect from millions of devoted customers and created a fast-food empire beyond the Depression-era child's wildest dreams.
The big-hearted billionaire stood out among business titans in that he never strayed from the Christian values and work ethic that took him from a single diner in an Atlanta suburb to more than 1,800 locations in 39 states.
Times changed, but Cathy's ideals didn't - including his commitment to closing his restaurants on Sundays. "I think it's probably the best decision I ever made," Cathy told The Augusta Chronicle in a 2008 interview.
He believed employees deserved a day of rest, whether they used it for worship or not. And fans of his family-owned chain were so enamored with its signature boneless-chicken sandwiches that weekday sales more than made up for lost revenue on the Sabbath.
Loyal customers stood by the company when Cathy's son, Dan, the current chairman, angered gay rights groups in 2012 for supporting the "biblical definition of a family."
The boycotts and "kiss-ins" at Cathy's restaurants only seemed to strengthen the chain's bond with its devoted - and devout - following.
Cathy was such an outstanding businessman - he never was embroiled in tax schemes, insider trading or other corporate shenanigans - that his stalwart Christian virtues seemed to be the only criticism his detractors could level against him.
Cathy's greatest contribution might be to future generations as a role model. America is full of rags-to-riches stories, but few have warmer and brighter outcomes than S. Truett Cathy's.
Sept. 7
The Telegraph, Macon, Georgia, on military readiness:
The world is a very dangerous place and becoming more so with each passing minute. Islamic extremists are popping out of their holes all over the world -- ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah and dozens of others, not to mention al-Qaida. Russia is trying to expand its territory as it flexes its muscle in Ukraine. We are still involved in Afghanistan and the situation in Syria continues to deteriorate. It is against this backdrop that in a recent meeting with The Telegraph, Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., outlined his opposition to the military's request for another Base Realignment and Closure commission.
"Sequestration" Bishop said, "is the worst thing that could happen to the country on the defense side and the non-defense side. It has wrought havoc for our government and for our people." Through sequestration, the military lost about $75 billion and sequestration may still be with us in 2016. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said, if that happens "we would be gambling that our military will not be required to respond to multiple major contingencies at the same time." Looking around the world, there are multiple major contingencies right now.
Hagel has proposed drawing down our troop strength to 440,000 from 520,000; saving $3.5 billion by eliminating the A-10 and dropping Marines troop strength to 182,000, from 190,000. About a dozen Navy ships will be placed on reduced service while being retrofitted.
Bishop said "We're using old weapons systems and old equipment which requires higher maintenance costs." In no other branch of the service is that more apparent than in the Air Force. The A-10 has been around for four decades. The C-5 was introduced in 1970, and B-52 pilots were not yet born when the Air Force took delivery of its first plane in 1955. The J-Stars plane was introduced 23 years ago, but it's built on the frame of a Boeing 707 which was introduced into passenger service in 1957.
The question for all Americans is not really a question at all. Can we afford, in this dangerous world, to allow our military assets to atrophy? Can we make our military branches lean, mean, fighting machines by allowing lawmakers to continue sequestration? Can we equip our military services with the best technology and weapons systems with the current budget?
We think not. As Bishop said, "I prefer peace to war but, of course, in order to have peace, you have to be in a position of strength. We can't disarm ourselves and become impotent in terms of our military strength and hope to have an influence (and) deterring effect on aggression."
We also have to remember there are people in the world who would destroy us if they could. We must always be secure in the knowledge that they can't.

Great high hats. Bright cut and nice articulation. They are very durable too. Lasted me about 10 years of heavy playing and never wanted to or had to replace them. When closed they are tight and have a nice "chick". when open they are very wet and responsive. I'd say these are THE all purpose hats.

Try This! Perk Up Sandwiches with Seasoned Salt
We couldn't face the idea of yet another sandwich for lunch the other day, yet no other brilliant ideas were forthcoming and we didn't want to spend the money to eat out. Desperately scanning our kitchen for something, anything, to add variety, our eye fell on a jar of seasoned salt...
We smeared both sides of the bread with a bit of mustard and mayo so the salt would have something to stick to and then sprinkled a little pinch on top. We made the rest of our sandwich as usual, packed it away for later, and forgot about it.
We weren't sure how big of a taste difference the salt would actually make, so it was a complete surprise when we took a bite and our mediocre sandwich had a whole new personality!
The flavor of the seasonings (in this case a smoked paprika) was subtle, but definitely present in every bite. We loved the unexpected hits of pure salt, and what's more, the salt made the sandwich slightly crunchy.
What's that phrase? Desperation is the mother of invention? That was definitely the case with our salted sandwich. Give it a try!

An interesting idea. I don't really make sandwiches, but will keep it in mind in case I do.
ive recently been putting freshly ground garlic, pepper, and sea salt on sandwiches (and well, almost anything that needs a bit of a kick) with similarly great results. Just combine whole pepper, sea salt crystals, and dehydrated garlic into a pepper mill. You can also buy mixtures of this at the store but usually they are heavy on the salt so I made my own blend. Adds a great kick to a a basic turkey sandwich and many other things; pasta, soup, meat, rice, bread etc.
If you dont have spread or other wet condiment on on your sandwich i have found a very quick shot of cooking spray (usually applied for toasting in my case anyway) will make the spices stick well to dry sandwich bread.
Rather than use seasoned salt, why not just seasonings? Last summer I got very into sprinkling Old Bay on the mayo&mustard of my seitan & veggie sandwiches. Delish.
I do this with my grilled cheese.
Thinly sliced green onions perk up almost any sandwich, too.
I would suggest just using the spices rather than seasoned salt. Your mayo and mustard likely already contain salt, not to mention whatever other fillings you might add to your sandwich.... so if you add more salt, you may get quite an unhealthy quantity of sodium. People tend to be obsessing about transfats or organic/local of late, but sodium content is also an important part of the healthy eating puzzle too.
this might sound kind of strange, but i recently slipped a little tomato paste on my grilled cheese and it was really really good. i have the double strength kind in a tube so it's thick but it added a lot of flavor and is much better than watery, out of season tomatoes! i'm betting it would be tasty on other kinds of sandwiches too.
While bargin shopping at the dollar store. I found a seasoning called "Soul Food Seasoning" - It is the tastiest! I put it all over a chicken before roasting, add it to soups and sammiches. It is my new go-to!

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - While San Diego County prepares to deal with scattered showers and some snow at higher elevations, other areas of the country are getting hammered by heavy snowfall and that means as many as 1,000 flights could be cancelled Wednesday and delays are already taking place at Lindbergh Field.
As of this report, one cancellation has been reported at Lindbergh Field.

Members of the House and Senate Farm Bill Conference Committee maybe one step closer to reaching an agreement on the federal farm bill.
According to North Dakota Senator John Hoeven who serves on that conference committee, he says farmers and ranchers could see a vote as early as next week.
While there are some issues concerning the bill, Hoeven hopes to reach an agreement in both the House and the Senate.
"If we can't get people to sign off on the report now with the compromises we've put forward, just make them all vote and get something to the House floor starting next week. The key is we got to win that vote. We got to have something we can get enough republican and democratic votes to pass the bill," says North Dakota Senator John Hoeven.
Just yards from the finish line, farm bill negotiators are struggling with two issues, dairy and payment limits.

Unparalleled Experience
Public Interest Projects has unparalleled experience in the programmatic and financial management of large, donor collaborative funds dedicated specifically to social justice issues. We currently work with more than 100 donors. Our funds have budgets ranging from $2 to $11 million.
Expanded Reach and Effectiveness
Public Interest Projects' substantive expertise and contacts within the field make it possible for our collaborative funds to reach strategically important grantees regardless of their location or size. These funds allow national foundations to support smaller regional or field organizations. Similarly, local and regional donors can also use them to support change on a national scale or across cities, states or regions.
Neutral Third Party
Public Interest Projects often acts as a neutral third party bringing together diverse groups and creating the space for joint decision-making. By facilitating partnerships that are productive for everyone, philanthropic efforts are coordinated and leveraged, conflicts are avoided and synergies are identified and exploited. Public Interest Projects' approach circumvents divisive tactics and finds strength around common goals. The outcome: creative, innovative alliances that embolden and empower.
Expert Team
One of Public Interest Projects' greatest strengths is the ability to identify and hire highly qualified individuals who know the key players and understand the challenges related to a particular issue. Our staff is highly experienced and diverse; the majority has worked in multiple capacities in philanthropy and in the social justice field. Collectively they have decades of experience and have established nonprofits, managed donor collaboratives, led advocacy campaigns, worked on research, litigation and organizational development and shaped strategic communications. We develop teams comprised of staff and consultants to leverage our institutional expertise and knowledge of the field.
"Link Tank" Approach
Public Interest Projects has developed a "link tank" approach to program work, which entails sharing knowledge and strategic research with a broader audience beyond our own donors and funds. By facilitating the dissemination of information we reach a more extensive network of funders and advocacy groups and, in turn, assist donors in achieving their own goals. Public Interest Projects does this in myriad ways such as in-person meetings, large convenings and funder briefings. This year, for example, we will host several national and regional briefings for donors on a range of topical social justice related issues.
Strategic Alliance Building Capability
In addition to an issue-specific expertise, Public Interest Projects helps funders explore the ways in which their social justice goals overlap with those of other funders and grantees. Identifying these common areas and forging alliances between sometimes seemingly unlikely partners lead to deep, foundational change and, over time, the realization of social justice goals.
Increases Capacity Across the Social Justice Sector
Although a number of capacity-building tools have been developed to help nonprofits at the organizational level, there are relatively few models for increasing capacity across an entire sector, especially in fields that have relatively small organizations. Public Interest Projects has developed tools, systems, and approaches that inform work across multiple fields and disciplines and enable us to use a more integrated approach in our work.
Provides Opportunities for Donors
Public Interest Projects offers donors numerous opportunities for engaging in strategic thinking, informed by research and analysis prepared by our experienced staff and consultants. Donors report they often gain fresh perspectives through networking with other funders and learning about their colleagues' approach to similar work. They also benefit from understanding how their goals are influenced by issues and strategies in Public Interest Projects' other funds.

Do right and wrong exist?
I'm curious about objective right and wrong. If you believe in God, this is a no-brainer. Some things are wrong, some things are right, simply because God says so and He knows. But if you don't believe in God, can you still believe in objective morality? I personally don't think you can. I mean, what do you base it off of? How do you find out what's objectively right or wrong? (By objective I mean "existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality." from dictionary.com)
Sure, there's subjective morality. Any idea of right or wrong come up with by a human is by definition subjective. That's all well and good. Problem is that it only applies to people who believe in it and it gives them no authority to proclaim anything as "what we should be doing." Very often everybody disagrees with each other and we don't get anywhere. (Just look at Congress for an example of this.)
Maybe you disagree with me and you think there is objective morality but no God. That's fine. I would like to ask you to answer a question for me though. Let's pick an easy one. Why is rape objectively wrong? Don't misunderstand me, I can't think of a single instance where rape wouldn't be wrong. I believe very strongly that sexual abuse is one of the greatest evils in the world. Why is it evil? If you can answer me without using a God-based or subjective argument, I'll concede the point.
That point is this: Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. And since nobody can agree on what to call what, we're all in a lot of trouble.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 28 2013: I love this question.
I believe morality is in itself subjective. It's a matter of philosophical theories and the way we justify what we do.
I don't think there's a certain standard of moral laws that we should all follow.
And since morality is open to any philosophical debates, the only way to find out whether it's right or wrong depends on how well you can defend your conducts—or other's in your own logical flow—especially in court.
Nonetheless, I also believe there is and there has to be certain boundaries where we shouldn't cross the line.
"Why is rape objectively wrong? "
Because it hurts someone(mentally and physically) so bad against her will.
As a child, we were told not to hurt someone especially against their will.
Rape is by far one of the most despicable and diabolical crimes, which means it's a common sense that rape is evidently wrong.
What we could call to be "objective" in this case, if you ask me, is the things regarded the most reasonable—not that it's like utilitarian's idea that relies on majority's welfare.
Thankfully some ethic behaviors are believed to be common sense among people. That's why we learn moral lessons and get advice from our parents and teachers over and over again. Getting older, some question those moral codes and sometimes change "the moral code", though.
Btw, it's also possible what we consider to be moral might be contradictory what God tells us to do.
(God ain't humans. Humans ain't God.)
I'm not saying that religion is the answer, but technically there's no such thing as an objective morality in this planet unless we're flawless like God.
Ultimately, we just need to find a way to live together. Peacefully and truly.
Mar 1 2013: What if I can show you were rape isn't objectively morally wrong and people actually act it out as a play to enjoy as what they would describe in the very least as being "fun".
We should redefine what peace is? Because whom are you to tell me what my peace is? See if you think we practiced the Golden Rule as defined as this we could create peace.
Its reciprocal, if party (y) want to have crazy kinky sex then he/she needs to find party (x) that also wants kinky sex and then the do on to others how they would want to be treated and have some crazy kinky sex. If party (y) want to have crazy kinky sex but party (z) does not want to then guess what you do on to others how you would want to be treated and don't have kinky sex with party (z) Because chances are there is something that party y does not want to do. (maybe party z want to kill some one) All he needs to do is find some one who is willing to die and kill them, if he cant find a party to kill, he doesn't do it. He respects the other person choices as if the are his own.
So if 2 parties want to kill each other from what they describe as peace or the greatest glory they can do for their god let them do it. It only becomes a problem when one party does not want to kill the other. Or be killed
Peace is about balance and harmony.... just like nature
Mar 1 2013: Hi Casey
Technically, rape is not a reciprocal thing.
"What if I can show you were rape isn't objectively morally wrong… "
Sorry, but your example didn't really convince me.
"Because whom are you to tell me what my peace is? "
Exactly. Who am I to tell you what makes you yourself "peaceful"?
I think those words: "my peace" are quite subjective, Casey.
What you mean by "my peace", I think, is for an individual. Not for everyone or for mutual stuff.
I'd rather say it's "what I desire" or "what I crave for", in this case.
I don't care whether having kinky sex gives you peace or not, but if your partner doesn't want to have that sex with you, by no means you should force her to get laid.
'Cause it could be repellent to her—it could make you achieve "my peace", though.
"Peace is about balance and harmony"
Then, the answer is clear. If you define "peace" that way, then, rape—the unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse(dictionary.com)—certainly does not belong to "peace" category.
Then, what you should have said, instead, is living peacefully with others isn't necessarily a moral thing, if you were going to argue with my last sentence there, "Ultimately, we just need to find a way to live together. Peacefully and truly."
And achieving peace isn't the point of what I was saying, btw.
(IMHO, I think you missed my point there.)

Narrow your search
Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
Sony's Handycam DCR-SR68 (and larger-capacity SR88) offers up ample storage and a megazoom lens at a reasonable price; one look at the standard-definition video, though, and you might regret not spending a bit more for an HD model.
The Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 has a good design and reasonable feature set for its price, but the video quality doesn't measure up to the rest of the package.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD205 is as middling as its sibling, the DCR-DVD305; however, it eschews the impractical features of the DVD305 for a lower price tag, making it a better bargain.
Unless this camcorder's low-resolution, low-quality stills are important to you, you might as well go for Sony's less expensive DCR-HC26.
There are better choices than the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD305, a so-so DVD camcorder.
The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD405 is a solid DVD camcorder, as long as you don't mind fiddling with a touch-screen interface on a too-small display.
Excellent video quality, a broad feature set, and decent photos make the Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 an excellent choice for those seeking a compact MiniDV camcorder. Navigating the small touch screen may encourage you to stick with its automatic features, however.
The Sony DCR-HC26 provides impressive size, zoom power, and features for a bargain-basement camcorder, but its substandard video quality is disappointing.
With its ability to play and transfer your old tapes, the Sony Handycam DCR-TRV480 is an attractive choice if you're upgrading from an 8mm or Hi8 camcorder. But if you don't need 8mm or Hi8 compatibility, competing MiniDV cameras offer superior performance in much smaller packages.
Given its mediocre video quality, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 seems overpriced for what it delivers.

I hated Benetint and saw this online some time ago (was not available in Cda at the time because some of the ingredients were banned for use in cosmetics, not sure if it is sold there now because I stopped using Benefit altogether after too many fails) thinking it might be more pigmented. Went to Sephora in Toronto and got the speech about it not being sold in Cda- however the SA claimed it was 'more pigmented and easier to use on cheeks'. Uh-huh right. I picked it up on a work trip to the US and it sucks. This is just your average tinted lip balm. No staying power, too greasy for cheeks and smells bad. Its not worth the money. I prefer my cheaper and way better quality TonyMoly CatChu wink cherry lip stain topped with balm. Another Benefit fit for only the bin. Never again.

I bought this product as I had tried thehighlighter in pearlescent pink and really liked it so I thought I would give this a try as I really like the contrast of red lip color next to pale light yellow skin as it helps to accentuate the yellow by providing contrast.
When I applied this product it burned my lips and made them really dry and dehydrated as though I had put a chemical acid on my lips.the texture was like a thinned out nailpolish that had been mixed with turpentine and that's what it smelled like also.when I applied the product it had the same effect as nail varnish that hasn't quite dried getting caught and smear across the nail.now I'm aware some of the products I was using in the past may have been contaminated with corrosive chemicals and I don't want to review this product without giving you this information that was part of my life experience I was used for because it would be unfair to the manufacturers of benefit and their shareholders and stakeholders and all the people who are working in jobs to produce advertise and sell these products.I would recommended trying the product at the sales counter before you buy and smelling it to see if it smells like something that has been designed to destroy your skin.

I love this stuff so much! I've been using it for years and have never found anything else that even comes close. I love the scent, it reminds me of roses. You get a great reddish pink color out of it and even once the glossy sheen is gone, the color remains. I only have to reapply it maybe once a day. It makes my lips super soft too. I wish it came in a squeeze tube instead of a glass jar. I have to use a q tip to apply it since I have really long nails, but other than that love love love. I've been buying it for years and will continue to do so as long as its available.

I'm not big on lip gloss/colors (with the exception of the occasional nude, I stick to plain chapstick), but this stuff I actually like. It gives a sheer rosy color and a nice shine. I really love this for days at the pool because 1.) it has spf15 and 2.) it gives a nice pop of color to a make up free face. It smells so good but it's not overpowering. The packaging is so cute (like most Benefit products) but, like others have mentioned, jars aren't the most hygienic option.
I'm rediscovering this now, and it's a really pretty color for fall, just a little deeper than my natural lip color. I wouldn't repurchase it simply because I think it's overpriced for what it does and I don't like spending a lot of money on lip products. But while I have it I will happily keep using it!

Since benetint is quite drying on my lips, pair this lip balm over the top of it and Wa-LA! you have perfect, just bitten, rosy lips. :)

Last week we launched the new Arts Council England/PRS for Music Foundation Momentum Music Fund, aimed at emerging talent in contemporary popular music. This is not an area that the Arts Council has ventured into in any systematic way before, although through our funding to organisations such as Small Green Shoots, Generator, Urban Development and British Underground, and lottery grants through our Grants for the arts scheme we have been investing over £2 million a year in this area of music.

Mining and Meaning
I'm looking at another crop of press releases and marveling at the ever-expanding market for products that fall under the ubiquitous heading of Big Data. Big Data is everywhere. (Or is it Big Data are everywhere – to reprise that classic quandary?) Gigantic file storage appliances from vendors like Oracle and HP and software tools like Apache Hadoop continually add new building blocks to the data infrastructure. And the goal of all this? Apart from more conventional uses for scientific modeling and analysis, one of the reasons for this huge interest in accumulating data is a phenomenon known as data mining, which Wikipedia defines as a process that "attempts to discover patterns in large data sets."
We're all aware that data mining technologies will have a big effect on advertising and retail, but I'm not sure the popular media is giving full attention to the radical change it brings to how we think about information and knowledge.
