The city of Scottsdale is facing a major lawsuit after a leisurely bike ride along a bike path called Dead Man's Curve ended with a trip to the emergency room.
Doe Jacobs lives near the spot and said he sees cyclists wiping out all the time.
"There was a ridge in the sideway there and especially bikes with skinny tires, they would just catch on that ridge and they'd just wipe out," Jacobs said.
Allan Fenyves was a competitive cyclist until his wreck on the curve in 2009. He brought the lawsuit against the city of Scottsdale.
"I did everything right. I slowed down. There is a seed sign there. An 'S' curve warning. I slowed down to about 10 mph," Fenyves said.
The section of the bike path was built in 1979. Big chunks are missing from the surface, there's water built up from poor drainage and there are half-inch seams in the concrete.
An independent report prepared by a forensic engineering firm in 2010 identified more than 20 reasons why the bike path wasn't safe for cyclists.
Over the years, people were calling in and emailing Scottsdale officials about the curve.
The city's transportation planner, Reed Kempton, crashed his own bike along the stretch back in 2002.
According to Kempton's deposition, funds were going to be used to repair the path in 2004 and 2005, but the money was reallocated to convert a golf course into a park.
"I wound up breaking my collarbone, my hip and nine ribs and puncturing a lung," Fenyves said.
Eight years later, the work is finally done. It took six weeks and the cost was a little more than $100,000. It was finished just before Christmas.
Fenyves has not been on a bike since his crash and is still recovering from his injuries.
Fenyves is represented by Phoenix attorney Rob Lewis.
"The city refuses to take responsibility for the damages it caused. I am confident that the injuries in these cases will make the city take responsibility," Lewis said.
Lewis also has another client who crashed in the same spot as Fenyves.
Fenyves trial is set to begin on March 18, 2013.
Scottsdale city officials declined to comment on the case.

Beware of Phishing Scams Related to Osama bin Laden

Messages Advertise Pictures and Videos of Taliban Leader's Death
Austin, TX -- In the aftermath of the death of Osama bin Laden this past weekend, BBB is warning consumers to watch out for several cyber-scams relating to online pictures and videos. With the announcement from President Obama yesterday that pictures of the former Taliban leader?s death will not be released, consumers should ignore all emails, Facebook messages and Internet ads linking to these items.
For example, on Facebook, a fake video titled "Osama Bin Laden Death Video" invites consumers to click on an outside link to watch. However, the link will install malware on their computer, which may allow a criminal to access personal data stored on your computer. The malware will also repost the message on your profile wall, potentially putting your friends' computers at risk as well.
Currently there are no reports of any serious identity theft issues related to these links, but consumers should keep the following tips in mind:
‧ Never reply to an email that is asking you for personal information. Even if the email appears to be from a trusted source, this may be a phishing attack, where someone is trying to illegitimately obtain your personal or financial information. Delete the email immediately.
‧ Do not click on any links from sources that you are unfamiliar with. This may be a phishing attack, where someone is trying to redirect you to a website that may automatically trigger malicious code and infect your computer. If you really want to check out a link sent to you by email, research the company or individual first to confirm they are trustworthy. If so, then manually retype the link into a secure web browser.
‧ Keep anti-spyware, anti-virus and anti-spam software up to date. While consumers are ultimately responsible for keeping personal and financial information private, these technologies are designed to help keep phishing attacks at a minimum.
To check the reliability of a company and find trustworthy businesses, visit BBB.

THEATER REVIEW (WSAU) I'm uncomfortable with Next To Normal. The Wausau Community Theater production that opened tonight is very well acted. It has a hard-driving and effective rock-infused score. It's entertaining. It also shocks and leaves you unsettled... which is exactly what's supposed to happen. But my discomfort goes beyond that.
Diana Goodman is bi-polar. OK, so are 5-million others in the United States. She's also suffered a great personal loss that she's trying to repress. As you might imagine, she can't. Normality is slipping away quickly. Medication, in all its pills and combinations, isn't working. Extreme treatment is suggested, then tried. Ultimately a marriage and family break apart. Diana will try to live without meds, treatment, or therapy, and we're led to believe that maybe, just maybe, there's a light at the end of this tunnel even after the patient turns their back on everything modern psychiatry has to offer.
But I felt manipulated. This isn't a biography; it's a work of fiction. Diana is, at best, a composite of many people trying to live with mental illness. Things didn't have to end up this way. We got to where we are because, well, that's the way the Next to Normal was written.
While Diana is getting drug-treatment, she confesses to her doctor that she feels nothing... her medication cocktail has left her numb to everything. Her psychiatrist expresses satisfaction; "patient, stable," he says. If I was a doctor I'd be furious. The play could have just as well been scripted with the doctor saying, "That's not good enough. We'll keep trying until it's right." Diana and her husband could have decided that controversial electro-shock treatment wasn't an option, and found doctors who offered other choices. They don't. Diana, even as her condition worsened, could have just as easily leaned more heavily on her husband and children instead of deciding that solitude and abandonment was the best path. These are all forks in the road. Different choice might have led to better outcomes. But it's a fools errand for me to re-write a play as I hoped it would be. I can't help but think millions of Diana's have similar challenges and have better outcomes because they weighed their choices differently.
Kate Kierzkowski is the star of the cast, even though she lands in a supporting role. She plays Donna's teenage daughter Natalie and shows that she can handle a rock score just as easily as Rodgers & Hammerstein. Grant Coopersmith, a new voice for Wausau Community Theater productions, is a welcome addition. The two leads, Michele Schlegel (Donna) and Mike McKenna (as her husband, Dan) have demanding roles with lots of material, and both were very good at expressing emotion through their singing.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, which is a better play than movie, is an obvious reference point for a play about mental health. Our treatment of the mentally ill is more enlightened than 50 years ago. We don't lobotomize patients we can't control. It's a relic. We watch it with a mild smugness -- we don't do that to people anymore.
Maybe Next To Normal suggests that modern treatment hasn't come as far as I'd like to think. Maybe that's why I'm uncomfortable. Maybe I held out too much hope that these lives could have turned out better.

TOKYO (AP) -- Asian stocks were mostly higher Wednesday as wary investors took heart from the recovery overnight in European and U.S. markets, but there wasn't much bounce to the rebound.
Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.4 percent to 14,061.20 by midday, after dropping 4.2 percent on Tuesday. It opened higher but surrendered some gains after the government reported that wage income remained at a record low in 2013.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.1 percent to 21,370.53 while South Korea's Kospi added 0.4 percent to 1,893.82. Shares rose in New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia but weakened in Australia and Taiwan.
Investors remain cautious, watching for the reopening of mainland Chinese markets following the Lunar New Year holiday, and U.S. jobless data, due out Friday, said Kwong Man Bun, chief operating officer at KGI Securities in Hong Kong.
"Rebound momentum is not significant," Kwong said. "Market sentiment remains cautious without a sustainable rebound, it's just a technical rebound after the heavy sell-off, but funding interest is limited."
Markets in Europe and the U.S. stabilized Tuesday despite the Nikkei 225's dive to a four-month low.
In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.3 percent to close at 6,449.27 while Germany's DAX fell 0.6 percent to 9,127.91. The CAC-40 in France edged up 0.2 percent to 4,117.45.
On Wall Street, stocks rebounded after their worst decline in seven months on Monday following the release of disappointing manufacturing data. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.5 percent to 15,454 while the broader S&P 500 rose 0.8 percent to 1,755.
Since many global indexes finished 2013 at record highs, some analysts say the recent market turmoil may be a long-overdue correction.
But worries over a reduction in monetary stimulus by the U.S. Federal Reserve and a slowing of growth in China have weighed on sentiment.
Investors, meanwhile, are also awaiting a policy meeting Thursday of the European Central Bank, which is under pressure to ease policy further to counter deflation.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude for March delivery was up 46 cents at $97.65 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained 76 cents to close at $97.19 on Tuesday.
The euro was unchanged at $1.3518. The dollar fell to 101.30 yen from 101.57 yen late Tuesday.

Paul Kramer's 1987 190E 2.3-16 Bob Yoshida's 1994 500EWhile many people are obsessed with just one car, there is a handful of a few poor bastards obsessed with them all. For those, life is too short for just one great ride. They need to own them all.
Enter Paul Kramer.
Though I'd only known him for 10 minutes, his automotive palette was vast, ranging from Alfa GTVs to Porsches to Mopars. He's what can be described as a "balanced" motorhead, a person who appreciates the car simply for what it is. It could be a 600-hp 930 or a 38-hp Beetle--Kramer loves them all.
I also learned he can drive the bejesus out of older iron. While following us up a local canyon, he managed to not only stay with our torque-monster BMW 335d, but almost pass us. Considering we outgunned his 20-year-old Merc by a few hundred pound-feet and had twice the rubber underfoot, this was remarkable.
"This is what the 190 16v was made for," Kramer says. "It was designed for the Nrburgring. You know... roads just like this. The engine, gearing and suspension work great up here. God, I love this car."
He went on to mention about 50 other cars he admires just as much. He might have even misted up for a bit.
In an effort to maintain contact and provide support for the world's finest cars, Kramer created Autokennel. Autokennel is a cross between a lounge, a museum consignment house, and a functional garage. It's a place for car guys to just hang, work on their rides or look for something new. Kramer is what you could call an enabler. Talk to him for a few hours and you will find yourself unable to live without your dream car. Paul almost convinced me I needed to get an Escort Cosworth (which I do). The dude is like the Dalai Lama of cars.
Kramer met us with pal Bob Yoshida, owner of the gorgeous 500E. "I always loved this car" Yoshida says. "Paul made it happen."
Mercedes 500E The result of careful breeding by both Mercedes and Porsche, each 500E progeny was transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's factory in Zuffenhausen. It took more than two weeks to assemble a 500E as each car was assembled largely by hand. Built from 1992 to '94, about 7,000 cars left the assembly line.
Based on the ubiquitous MBZ 300E, the 500E was equipped with a new V8 engine, hydraulic self-leveling suspension, 11.8-/10.9-inch front/rear ventilated brakes, wider wheels and tires and a revised suspension which lowered the car nearly an inch lower than the 300E. The car was also fitted with pronounced front fender flares that lended a linebacker-like profile. The engine was the same unit used in the 500SL but with Bosch's LH Jetronic fuel injection and a redesigned intake manifold that resulted in an additional 22 lb-ft of torque.
The four-speed automatic transmission and rear axle were also sourced from the 500SL. If you could get the car to hook up, 60 mph could be breached in 5.3 seconds with a 155 mph top speed (electronically limited)--not bad for almost two tons of car.
The 500E became something of a poster child for autobahn driving. It excelled at high speed cruising while providing an incredibly comfortable ride. And it looked fabulous while doing it.
Yoshida has been enjoying the 500E for several years with no major issues. Aside from routine maintenance, the car has been rock solid.
1987 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16The Mercedes 190 16v was a genuine German hot rod. Based on their smallest model, the "baby Benz" utilized a high-strung Cosworth-massaged engine, special suspension and driveline, and cutting edge aerodynamcs. In 1983, on the walls of Nardo, Mercedes sought to prove the car's mettle. After 201 hours, 39 minutes and 43 seconds, two of the cars had clocked 50,000 kilometers with an average speed of 247 km/h, leaving the 190 2.3-16 with three world records and nine international class records.

Hi Brunetta.
Wishing you a glorious Easter.
So glad we connected on FB!!!

Hi Brunetta,
It is a prescription of
Lidocaine 5%
Cyclobenzaprine 45
thank you :)
Brunetta, I made the plaque. It is melted crayon art, where you melt crayons onto canvas with a hairdryer. I loved the way it turned out.
My new shoes were in 2 weeks ago but are now being matched and prepared for the steel brace on the right shoe. They seem soooooo big that I could probably hired out to rural fire departments to stop out forest fires!

Hi Paula, Thanks for being you and for showing us "fun cooking"...not everyday food but special times call for special food. Please hang in there with the diabetes. I would not have blamed you if you never told anyone...they are so inconsiderate to give you flack like they are now. I realize that when you were the bag lady, you had to make food tastier in order to have business to support your family...! We don't eat like it is Thanksgiving every day or anything else. Us uncritical people know that and we love you. Just hearing your voice is soothing to me and my blood pressure and takes away stress...! That is why I re-run your shows and just listen a lot of the time. love ya'...Marilyn Walsh

LANSING (WKZO) -- State Senator John Proos is warning people in southwest Michigan to be wary of Affordable Care Act related scams. He says that people have been getting phone calls from individuals claiming to be selling health insurance policies, and urges anyone who is the target of such a scam to notify the authorities.
Proos added that you should be skeptical of offers that are too good to be true, and call the Michigan Consumer Protection Division at 877-765-8388.
It can be complicated to navigate through the Affordable Care Act, and there's nothing wrong with seeking help from experts if you're confused. In Michigan, the official site to purchase health insurance is through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov.

'03 Avalon XL - Best Car I've Ever Had by An MSN Autos Consumer on 02/18/2013. Trim: 2003 Toyota Avalon XL, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Roomy, quiet and dependable. If you're looking for a solid commuter car or a somewhat upscale one for medium-range trips, this is a good choice.
Cons: Some of the padded dash is receding (becoming loose) from where it is tucked under the overhang. Somewhat bland styling. Car should have a bit more power for the modest return in mileage. Steering/Handling is okay but can be a bit unsettled on even smoother roads. Feels like it may have a higher center of gravity so higher speed cornering is not it's forte.
Overall review: I purchased this 2003 Avalon used in April 2009 and I'm still the owner. It only had 9600 miles on it so it was practically a new car. As of 2/17/13, the car has 70K miles on it. Front brakes, tires, battery and an oxygen sensor have been replaced. I also have the car up to date on Toyota scheduled maintenance items. I retired last year and decided I was going to try and keep this car for 150K - 200K miles. I'm confident this car will be able to make it to this point while continuing to be dependable. Two other same generation Avalons (a 2000 and 2002) that are serviced at the same local dealership I take mine, have recently surpassed 200K miles and each owner's told me they're original owners and have only had scheduled maintenance/wear replacement done with no motor, transmission, A/C, electrical or suspension issues.

SEATTLE (AP) -- The U.S. attorney's office says a Renton man who made $40,000 selling generic pieces of glasswork on the Internet as Chihuly artwork pleaded guilty Wednesday in Seattle.
Michael Little, 35, could get up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 4 in federal court for wire fraud.
The U.S. attorney's office says Little used forged papers to authenticate the art but an expert determined they were not the work of Dale Chihuly.
Investigators said a man named James Coombes wanted to buy some Chihuly glass to donate to Gonzaga's Jundt Art Museum when he came across Little online in 2011. Over the next year and a half, he spent at least $22,000 buying pieces from Little.
A federal complaint said Little provided documentation that purported to authenticate the works, but Coombes said galleries he presented them to could not verify they were true Chihuly pieces. Eventually, he brought them to an authorized appraiser of Chihuly glass, who deemed them forged.

State parks to charge fees
Published on Thu, May 19, 2011 by
Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
Starting July 1, vehicle access to state parks and other types of state recreation lands across Washington will come with a charge.
On May 12, Governor Chris Gregoire signed a bill into law that will allow the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and the state departments of natural resources and fish and wildlife to charge $10 per vehicle per day for access to state-managed areas, including state parks, campgrounds, heritage sites and wildlife and natural areas.
The law also created the Discover Pass, which will allow access to all state-maintained lands for $30 per year.
Available in June, the Discover Pass will be sold across the state at approximately 600 vendors who also sell fishing and hunting licenses. In Blaine and Birch Bay, Discover Passes will be available for purchase at Ace Northwest, Bay Center Market and Pacific Building Center/True Value.
Discover Passes must be purchased per vehicle and cannot be shared among park goers. The penalty for parking longer than 30 minutes on state-managed lands without a Discover Pass will be $99. Starting in the fall, Discover Passes can be purchased while registering a vehicle with the state department of licensing.
The money from the access fees and the Discover Pass will help counteract the loss of state funding for state parks. The state will send 84 percent of the money back to state parks, while the remaining 16 percent will be split between the state departments of natural resources and fish and wildlife. That means approximately $25 from every Discover Pass will fund state parks.
Birch Bay State Park manager Ted Morris said he only expects a small drop in attendance because of the new fees.
While Morris said he would prefer no fees, he would rather see the parks charge than close their gates for good.
"If I could wave a magic wand and fill the coffers, I would do that," Morris said. "I always cringe at the thought of closing parks."
Only cars, trucks and motorcycles will be subject to the fee, Morris added. He said anyone could still walk or bike into Birch Bay State Park for free, as long as they don't plan on camping.
Most visitors will likely purchase the Discover Pass rather than pay $10 each time they visit, Morris said.
The state parks commission pushed for the Discover Pass as a way to keep state parks funded in a time when money is scarce, he explained.
No state parks funding is included in the proposed biennium budget being discussed in the state legislature, he said.
Over the last few years, the funding for state parks decreased to less than one quarter of one percent of the total state budget.
This is not the first time Washington has charged for non-camping use of state parks. The state legislature passed a law in 2003 that charged $5 per day and $50 for an annual pass. Morris said Birch Bay State Park brought in about $25,000 per year while those fees were in place.
While Birch Bay State Park attendance decreased a little after the fees were first charged, Morris said it returned to previous levels within the year. The state abolished the fees in 2006.

MOSINEE, Wis. (WSAU) -- Governor Scott Walker highlighted a Mosinee business Friday as part of the state's effort to give more people with disabilities the opportunity to work.
The stop at Mosinee Cold Storage allowed Walker and Department of Workforce Development Secretary Reggie Newson to meet several people that sort and repackage cheese products.
The Governor says his Year of A Better Bottom Line initiative is a win-win for workers and employers. Walker says this pool of workers needs to be matched up with these available jobs.
Under the Better Bottom Line initiative, state agencies are promoting public and private programs to improve employment opportunities for those with disabilities, including veterans and students.
Another part of the program is Project SEARCH, helping young people with disabilities transition from high school to the workplace.

The panel tasked with revising Indiana's accountability system has just six weeks to rewrite the rules used to assign schools letter grades.
Typically overseeing the state's accountability system falls to the State Board of Education. This time, an independent panel will take a first stab at rewriting the system. Indiana last updated its rules for calculating school accountability in 2011. That's when the state started assigning letter grades based on a complicated measure called "the growth model." But after just one year, state lawmakers flagged that system for a rewrite.
So Indiana's school accountability system was already on track to be replaced when it came out that former state superintendent Tony Bennett and his staff changed the letter grades of at least 165 schools. Though an independent review of the 2011-12 grades concluded Bennett's actions were "plausible," state leaders have called for increased transparency in whatever accountability system comes next.
That's why Governor Mike Pence, State Superintendent Glenda Ritz, Speaker of the House Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro-Tem David Long announced an independent panel would make recommendations on how to rewrite the system to the State Board.
Ritz will co-chair the panel with Southwest Allen County Schools Superintendent Steve Yager, an appointee of Senator Long.
Here's who else sits on the panel:
- Bluffton High School Principal Steve Baker, appointed by Long
- Huntington teacher Melanie Park, appointed by Long
- Indiana Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Education and Workforce Development Policy Derek Redelman, appointed by Long
- Brownsburg Community Schools Superintendent Jim Snapp, appointed by Pence
- Stonybrook Intermediate School Principal Robert Lugo, appointed by Pence
- Indianapolis teacher Casandra McLeod, appointed by Pence
- Special Assistant to the Governor Claire Fiddian-Green, appointed by Pence
- Shelby County Superintendent Shane Robbins, appointed by Bosma
- Key Learning Community Principal Sheila Seedhouse, appointed by Bosma
- Marion County teacher Jessica Dunn Feeser, appointed by Bosma
- Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana Chief Operating Officer Scott Bess, appointed by Bosma
- Evansville teacher Keith Gambill, appointed by Ritz
- Beveridge Elementary Principal Cheryl Ramsey, appointed by Ritz
- Portage Township Superintendent E. Frataccia, appointed by Ritz
- Indiana Department of Education Director of Student Assessment Michele Walker, appointed by Ritz

Recent Oakdale High graduates have another chance to extend the legacy of their prep careers before leaving high school memories in their dust.
On June 1, Oakdale High freshman Hannah Chappell eclipsed the 134 foot mark four times and captured a boisterous 138-07 to end seventh in the discus finals at the California Interscholastic Federation State Track and Field Championships in Clovis.
With the preseason winding down, Oakdale's fall sports are gearing up for league play, with some already into their league schedule. The following is a quick glance at some of the Mustangs' week in review.
If you were anywhere in the city limits of Oakdale on Friday night, odds are you could probably hear the stomping of the feet from both Oakdale and Turlock fans hitting the bleachers, roars from both sides of the field, the hard hits or even the rich voice of Mustang announcer Pete Simoncini. However, if you didn't witness the Mustangs late fourth quarter heroics live from The Corral, you missed something special. The varsity Mustangs found themselves on the winning end of a 30-29 nail bitter against visiting Turlock in non-league play.
With a solid 3-2-3 record thus far, coach Alfredo Quiroga and the Oakdale High School boys soccer team are optimistic about the upcoming regular season.
Friday night football is back at The Corral as the Mustangs hosted longtime rivals, the Sonora Wildcats in the 2014 season opener. Even though Sonora is no longer in the Valley Oak League, the rivalry between the two schools went on for 91 years in league play and still holds up as a big rivalry in California.
The long awaited Oakdale High School football 2014 season is under way. After spring and summer workouts, two-a-days once practices could officially begin earlier this month, and team meetings, the Mustangs hosted a home scrimmage against the Tracy Bulldogs on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Thirty-two local sports legends – including an Oakdale icon – will be inducted into the 2014 Sac-Joaquin Section Hall of Fame later this month. Representing Oakdale High School is decorated basketball coach and athletic director Norm Antinetti.
With school starting up this week, the athletic programs don't waste any time, as many of the practices for the fall campaign will start on Monday, Aug. 11. Here is a brief rundown of the teams that will be hitting the playing fields and courts this fall.

A group of people are murdered during an apparent holdup. Upon further investigation there emerges a set of coincidences linking several of the victims. One of the victims is a woman who was engaged to be married to the nephew of a textile magnate. The woman was also an old flame of the investigating detective. A marvelously coloured sweater appears to tie everything together, but what is the nature of the tie. This episode had a lot of potential, but seemed to fall short in execution.

Feiwel & Friends
Welcome. Have a seat. Ignore the shambling undead outside. Let us tell you a story. But be warned. Good Night, Zombie isn't just any tale. This is a Scary Tale.
Meet Carter, Esme, and Arnold, three students accidentally locked together inside an almost deserted school. They are not friends. They scarcely know each other. But In the basement, a mysterious night janitor waits. And outside, moving in the mist, dark shapes shuffle closer…
James Preller knows his audience: "It's what so many students, on every school visit, tell me that they want. You guessed it, scary stories for grades 2-4, 80 page chapter books. And by scary I mean . . . spine-tingling, heart-pounding scary."

Playing the shale energy land grab
Booming foreign interest in domestic reserves creates big opportunity.
The U.S. and Canada are sitting on one of the biggest energy booms ever. An oil and gas production renaissance is under way, thanks to improved hydraulic fracturing and advances in drilling techniques. Though not without controversy, shale formations like the Marcellus, Utica and Eagle Ford have become hotbeds of North American drilling activity because these advances have made it possible to extract the plethora of fossil fuels trapped between the rocks.
With billions of dollars in revenue at stake, these regions have witnessed a land grab not seen since the California Gold Rush of the 1800s. While the usual suspects like Exxon (XOM) are staking their claims, North America's shale interests are getting plenty of attention from overseas sources as well.
Surging global interest
Indeed, landholders across the Northeast, Nebraska and Texas are getting some new foreign neighbors. The shale boom and all its riches have been attracting energy companies from around the globe. Take French oil giant Total (TOT). The major integrated oil company recently paid $2.32 billion for a 25% share in 619,000 acres across the Utica shale owned by Chesapeake (CHK).
This is the second joint venture between the two companies, and it gives Total access to the nearly 5.5 billion recoverable barrels of oil and 15.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas that the Utica formation contains.
The Total-Chesapeake deal is just one example. Also last week, China's Sinopec (SHI) made its first incursion into U.S. shale with a $2.2 billion investment to create a joint venture with Devon Energy (DVN). Over the past year, shale acreage has seen buyout and merger activity from Australia's BHP Billiton (BHP), Norway's Statoil (STO), various Chinese-owned entities and Malaysia's Petronas.
Overall, data compiled by Thomson Reuters showed more than $473 billion in energy asset transactions were completed in 2011.
It's no wonder North America's shale assets are becoming such a hotbed. Growing populations require major amounts of energy. Securing these assets now, while prices are relatively low, makes strategic sense for any nation or company.
In addition, many of the acquiring international companies are behind the curve in terms of drilling technology. In a classic win-win, smaller to midsize domestic energy companies get the capital they need to actually tap these resources, while the foreign corporations get the future energy supplies they require. With a little luck, the U.S. and Canada gain some economic prosperity and jobs, with a minimum of environmental disruption.
Getting exposure
This pattern of joint ventures and buyouts should continue to play out over the next few years. For energy investors, that could spell opportunity. Shares of both Devon and Chesapeake surged 4% and 3.4%, respectively, when the news of their deals broke. Analysts at UBS cite both Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) -- which just hiked its dividend -- and EOG Resources (EOG) as the next major M&A targets.
However, investors may want to think a bit smaller and broader. The Jefferies TR/J CRB Wildcatters E&P Equities (WCAT), along with the PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy (PSCE), track baskets of various small-cap oil and gas companies that could make juicy targets for the foreign energy majors. These ETFs could provide an overall play on the trend.
Here's another tack: Small caps PDC Energy (PETD) and Rex Energy (REXX) could be exactly what foreign companies are looking for. Both have market caps of just under $1 billion, and both have been expanding their shale acreage. In September, PDC added exposure to the Utica shale and is seeking a partner to fund drilling on 100,000 net acres. And Rex continues to add acreage across the Marcellus, Niobrara and Utica formations and is seeing higher production from its wells.
With long-term energy demand trends firmly in place, North America's shale formations will continue to be a prime destination for the international oil majors. These companies, flush with cash, will be able to provide the necessary funds to extract this energy. For investors, playing the land grab means betting on the small to midsize companies within the exploration and production sector. The companies discussed here, along with the ETFs, are great ways to do that.

I heartily recommend this book." -Elyse Fitzpatrick, Author of Idols of the Heart, Give Them Grace
