Commodity Corner
Views on commodities and energy
U.S. grain traders eye Wall Street for direction
Chicago Board of Trade grain markets will likely continue to track Wall Street stocks as a barometer of likely demand in 2009. The cratering Dow Jones Industrial Average as been the predominant factor for financial market confidence all winter.
So far this year the dollar has rallied, tight credit market indicators have loosened up a bit, Chinese grain buying has not dried up. But for grain traders, as for investors in general, the free fall in the Dow which slid to a 12-year low last week has been a negative that has been impossible to shake off.
Commodities were able to diverge from the negativity of the financial markets on Friday. But it's been rare for CBOT grains to move in the opposite direction of the Dow.
Wall Street's panic over financial time bombs has pulled hundreds of billions of dollars in cash out of all markets, including grains. The spectacle of iconic corporate titans from AIG to Citibank to General Motors on the brink of insolvency has shaken the business world to its roots. Even the rock solid edifice of General Electric — the very embodiment of American know-how and strength — is showing cracks.
This "waiting for the end" mood will continue to hang over all markets next week as investors eye the fate of General Motors and major banks. A focal point will be a meeting between the U.S. auto task force and GM, Chrysler and officials from the UAW in Detroit next week after an auditor report last week raised doubts about GM's ability to remain "a going concern."
CBOT grain traders will also be watching:
* USDA's monthly supply and demand report to be issued on Wednesday. Initial estimates from analysts point toward the government raising its forecast of the amount of corn left at the end of the marketing year on Aug. 31. It could be up roughly 25 million bushels to 1.815 billion bushels, reflecting a slower-than-expected export pace. The U.S. soybean end stocks forecast could fall by 10 million bushels, given the continued strong export pace. Most analysts are not expecting USDA to make much of a change on its wheat estimate.
* Last trading day and expiration for March grain and oilseed contracts is Friday, March 13. Traders will be watching for open interest to decline in all the contracts this week, which would limit potential volatility at Friday noon expiration.
* New-crop November soybean to December corn ratio. It closed at 2.09:1 on Friday, a level that tends to favor corn plantings over soybeans. As a general rule of thumb, a ratio of 2.2:1 is an indifference point — plantings could go either way. The ratio peaked at 2.36:1 in mid-January when soybeans rallied amid Argentine soybean drought worries.
* U.S. southern Plains weather. With South American harvest getting under way, the next potential weather market centers around the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop. Soil moisture is very short in Texas, Oklahoma and southwestern Kansas. Wheat is breaking dormancy which means moisture needs will increase. Hot and dry weather continues, with not much relief in sight. The Texas state crop report to be issued Monday afternoon will update traders on wheat conditions and soil moisture.
* Argentine farmer/government conflict. Worries that differing opinions between farmers and the government about export taxes and grain marketing buoys CBOT soy. Reports of China buying three to four cargoes of U.S. soybeans for April shipment and strong Brazilian basis levels are signs that the top world soy buyer is leery of sourcing Argentine soy.

Old Dog Haven of Arlington is one of 10 animal charities to receive a $10,000 gift from the Petco Foundation.
ODH is a network of foster homes for senior dogs age 8 and up. They also provide doggie assisted living and hospice. They do not have a traditional shelter - all of their dogs are in homes throughout Western Washington.
The nonprofit Petco Foundation has just surpassed the $100 million mark for funds raised to help animals. To celebrate the milestone, the Petco Foundation and Petco store associates selected 100 charitable partners to receive a $1,000 donation each.
Also, Petco and the Petco Foundation let pet lovers nationwide vote for 10 of the 100 charitable partners to receive an additional $10,000 each. Old Dog Haven got the third-most votes.
ODH Executive Director, Judith Piper, said they are thrilled by the gift.
"What a credit to our fantastic supporters who rallied to make us third in the Facebook voting nationwide," she said. "Our supporters are truly the best and should be VERY proud of themselves."
Piper said because most of the dogs come to them in really poor physical condition, they budget $1,000 for each dog's initial medical expenses, so the Petco Foundation has made it possible for them to take in 11 more homeless old dogs and make them comfortable and as healthy as possible.
"What a wonderful thing," she said.

is posey a keeper?
is posey a keeper over kipnis, lawrie, and beltre? i know catcher carries alot of injury risk but he hit 24hr had over 100rbi, hit for a great average, and he is young. kipnis and lawrie might have potential, but posey is doing it now. my other keepers are mccutchen, bautista, and hanley.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

He is over Kipnis and Lawrie without question. Beltre might be debatable, but Posey being a C make shim ore valuable IMO.
Yes, he is a keeper over those three. He is also 1B eligible so he will pay a few more games than most Cs.
i like posey over the others you mention. beltre is very good as well, but posey was so good that he is a must keep.
absolutely. as long as he has catcher eligibility, it's a no brainer.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) became the first Republican to throw his hat in the ring for the 2016 presidential election. King announced his 'long-shot' candidacy Friday in New Hampshire, CBS News reports. He may be one of the longest serving congressmen, but that doesn't mean he will be elected the next POTUS. You will recall Peter King has called for the racial profiling of Muslims and wants President Obama to invade Syria.

Say,along with Kimmie Meissner......does anyone know the deal on Sasha? Is she Retired,competing,or what not?
I don't know if she has any more plans to compete, but I'm looking forward to seeing her in Stars on Ice on Sunday.
"Liking this sport is ridiculous, so youre a little different for liking it, she explained. But youre allowed to like what you like." - Robert Samuels
So is she Retired from competiton?
Done competing. Not officially retired IIRC (just like Kwan, who started this "in limbo semi-retired but not really" state and then everyone else followed).
Unlike Meissner, though, looks like she has committed to at least skating in shows full-time as a pro.
I'm also going to the show on Sunday BTW. I'll see if I can post pics and stuff afterward in the SOI thread.
Last edited by attyfan; 03-01-2011 at 02:31 AM.
I think the issue is closure.
The thread is about Sasha, so yeah. But I'd be happy to watch Michelle try too
She could probably get decent scores just by skating around in a circle, on nostalgia alone.
Sasha would be 29 in Sochi, and she'd have to go through Regionals, Sectionals etc. I don't see it happening, especially since she's competed once since Torino in the past five years.
This is crazy!!!!! 2010-2011. The years all our Freestylers walked out the door!!!! So what's Sasha planning?
Sasha is currently performing in the U.S. Stars on Ice tour that runs through April 9th.
Here's a recent article (Feb. 16): http://articles.ocregister.com/2011-...smucker-s-tour
Only 26, and one of the younger skaters on this tour, Cohen's days of competing at the highest levels of skating are behind her. An attempt to make the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. ended with her making it only as far as an alternate on the team.
Still, skating exhibitions and performances fill her immediate future, and she hopes to continue them for a while longer.
"It's partly up to how long you can keep free of injury," Cohen says. "I love to travel, I love the feel of performing, but there's a lot of other things I'm interested in, so I don't know how long this will be."
One thing she definitely plans to do is finish her undergraduate degree. She'll attend the summer semester at New York University, and possible enroll fulltime in school at the end of the year.
"I never had a chance to finish my undergrad degree," Cohen says. "I'm interested in everything, from finance to philosophy, so I think I'd start with all of the core classes.
"Before I decide another path that I'm going to go down I'd like to have a broader education."
By the way, many athletes never officially announced their retirement even if we know they retired : Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati just to name a few. So please, slap yourself for being too harsh on Michelle Kwan.

Though Oklahomans have seen funding for higher education slashed and tuition fees climb, there is still some good news for college students and their families around the state.
According to a recent online ranking by affodablecollegesonline.org, Oklahoma's average public college tuition is ninth-lowest in the U.S.
Oklahoma's average yearly tuition expense of $5,844 or an in-state undergraduate student ranked the state ahead of No. 10 Idaho. The top eight were Florida, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, West Virginia, New Mexico, Louisiana and Alaska. Florida's average yearly in-state tuition is $3,980.
For an undergraduate credit hour, NSU charges $166.40 in tuition and mandatory fees per credit hour. Graduate level courses cost $204.15 per hour.
If they chose, incoming freshmen for 2013 could "lock in" a guaranteed rate of $185.65 until 2016.
Among Oklahoma's four-year public institutions, NSU charges less per undergraduate credit hour than all other universities except Langston. Other state four-year schools include the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Central Oklahoma, East Central, Southeastern Oklahoma State, Southwestern Oklahoma State, Northwestern Oklahoma State and Oklahoma Panhandle State.
Ben Hardcastle, executive director of communications and marketing for NSU, said the university wants prospective students and their families to know that tuition is affordable.
"NSU has managed to keep tuition costs down as a result of years of planning and determination to provide a quality classroom experience, but do so in a cost-effective manner," Hardcastle said. "We want to offer a degree which will help students perform their jobs and have successful careers."
While working to keep expenses under control NSU has yet to resort to layoffs, though vacated positions have sometimes been left unfilled for periods.
"I think the key is the administration's long range planning out of the budgets," Hardcastle said.
"But it also includes employees at every level understanding the situation, looking for ways to cut costs and doing so."
Another cost reduction measure was undertaken during the summers of 2010-12, when the university asked many employees to a work week of four 10-hour days, permitting NSU to close some of its buildings on Fridays and reduce utility expenses.
"I think those savings occur everywhere and add up," Hardcastle said.
"They include energy costs, maintenance of equipment and upkeep of buildings. But it is all done with an eye toward preserving our heritage as an institution and providing an outstanding experience for our students."

CARL JUNCTION, Mo. —
A familiar face returned Tuesday night to the Carl Junction City Council when Roger Spencer was appointed to fill the 4th Ward vacancy created by the resignation of Dee Lynn Davey.
Spencer, who served from 1996 through 2000, was instrumental in the town's acquisition of tornado sirens and the establishment of Four Oaks Park.
Mayor Mike Moss said he contacted Spencer to apply for the appointment after not receiving any applications for the position by the May 3 deadline.
"I went and recruited him because he will have the city's best interests in mind," Moss said. "While we are sad to see Dee Lynn leave, it will be interesting to have Roger here. We both served on council together, and I feel that he will continue to work toward improving the city."
Spencer said he needs to "catch up" with the city's business.
"I'm two buildings removed from the last time I served, and a lot has changed with the city and with the council," Spencer said. "I'm on my first night, and while I'm playing catch-up, I'm happy to learn and I want to help as much as possible."
Spencer will serve the remainder of Davey's term through April 2014.
Davey resigned last month after seven years on the council, saying she was moving to Texas to be near hear daughter.
AFTER DELAYING new committee appointment for two weeks because of the council vacancy, Mayor Mike Moss appointed members to city committees.
THE COMMITTEES are as follows: Budget and finance, Mark Powers, chairman, and Steve Daniels, Bob Cook and Tim Smith; code and nuisance, Don Marshall, chairman, and Roger Spencer, Sean Haase, Powers and Delmar Haase; human resources, Daniels, chairman, and Richard Zaccardelli, Marshall, Cook and Maribeth Matney; public facilities and planning, Tim Smith, chairman, and Haase, Daniels, Powers, Jimmy Chaligoj and Pat Smith; and senior citizens, Zaccardelli, chairman, and Marshall, Cook and Spencer.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said
Lawrence needs to improve its recreational facilities.
The coach said he hasn't decided whether to support a proposed
sales tax increase to pay for them.
Self was one of 25 people who attended a meeting yesterday
evening of Partners for Lawrence Athletics and Youth, which is
promoting the upgrading of the city's facilities.
He said the recreational facilities available in Lawrence were
not of the same caliber of several other communities.
Self says the lack of good facilities stunts the city's growth
because good recreation opportunities attract people to cities.
Mayor Sue Hack has proposed creating a one-cent citywide sales
tax to pay for recreation facilities, a library, economic
development initiatives and infrastructure projects.

The Duncan Banner
Rainy weather resulted in the postponement of "Chris Lane Night at the Ballpark" to Thursday, Oct. 24, at 5 p.m.
The decision was made Tuesday afternoon.
The event at the Duncan High School baseball field was to feature East Central University and Redlands Community College in a scrimmage. Lane, who was tragically killed this past August, played for Redlands and East Central.
The two teams have traditionally played each other as part of their fall seasons, but decided to play this year's game in Duncan as a means of bringing together the communities affected by Lane's death.
Admission to the reschedule game will be free, with donations collected and concessions sold to raise money for a scholarship in Lane's memory.
Note: The article originally stated that the game would be played Oct. 27. It is actually Oct. 24. The Duncan Banner regrets the error.

I haven't seen you in over ten years now. And I don't think about you very often at all, anymore. But when we first broke up, I used to see you everywhere. All black cars were yours, following me.
It was completely in my mind, of course.
At least I think so...
See, you have this incredible talent: the ability to distort the truth, to rewrite history. You're so good at this, that you had me fooled time after time after time. I grew to doubt my own perceptions.
That time that I went to work wearing a turtle neck to hide the fingerprint-bruises on my neck? That never happened. Why? Because you said so.
The times you cheated on me, or lied to me, or just made me doubt my self-worth were gifts from you to me, the anguished poetry I produced could never have seen the light of day without a little drama for inspiration.
Without you, I was nothing. You made me everything that I had become. Because of you, I got rid of my nerdy glasses. You encouraged a different hair style, and picked out more attractive clothes. You challenged my mind and made me stretch myself. You made me better, you made me whole.
Without you, I was nothing.
At least, that's what you said. And you were so convincing, so bloody good at what you do, that I believed it.
I never knew this until after the fact, but through all the years that we were together, my parents referred to you as The Asshole, behind my back. How was it that they, who saw you infrequently, found it so easy to see through your glamour, while I - who lived with you day in and day out - was ensnared by it for so long?
Well, you were right about one thing. You did help shape the person that I became. Like it or not, each step we take on the path to here is a part of the work-in-progress that we are. So, thanks - I guess.
No, I don't think about you very often at all, anymore. But I do always remember you on your birthday.
So - Happy 39th birthday, Asshole.

When the Tigers step on the field Saturday against N.C. State, they'll have no idea what they're getting into.
Two weeks ago, the Wolfpack looked lifeless in a 33-6 smack-down defeat against win-starved Virginia.
Then last Saturday, State's defense dominated from start-to-finish in the Pack's 37-6 thrashing of Wake Forest.
This is a team that beat Florida State, lost to Tennessee, and eked out victories by the tiniest of margins over UConn and Maryland.
Dabo Swinney knows one thing, though: despite N.C. State's Jekyll-and-Hyde inconsistency, his ninth-ranked Tigers had better be ready on Saturday.
"This is a very talented, very dangerous football team," said Swinney during his Tuesday news conference. "They're capable of playing with anybody in the country. Especially in terms of talent, their guys match up very well."
A year ago, in the Tigers' upset loss at Raleigh, Swinney said State's secondary got the better of Clemson's wide receivers.
"That was the difference last year - their secondary outplayed us," he said. "We'll have our hands full again with those guys. This is a defense that leads the ACC in sacks and ranks second in tackles for loss and scoring defense."
To attack the Wolfpack secondary, Swinney said the Tigers will once again need to be sound in pass protection.
"Everything starts with protecting our quarterback," he said. "We did a good job last week, and we want to continue by getting consistent as a group.
"N.C. State gives a lot of movement and brings a lot of pressure. They're slanting all the time, bringing five and six and mixing up their coverages."
Swinney said the Tiger defense will be tested by quarterback Mike Glennon and a deep group of capable wide receivers.
"They want to put the ball in their quarterback's hands, and I don't blame them," Swinney said. "It's sort of like what he (Wolfpack head coach Tom O'Brien) did with Matt Ryan up at Boston College. He's doing the same thing with Glennon.
"They spread the ball around, and like to get five (receivers) out. We'll need to win some of those coverage match-ups. They've probably had 15 or 16 guys touch the ball - they're as good as it gets at spreading the wealth."
Swinney has challenged his Tigers to continue with another week of self-focus.
"Our focus is on Clemson, just like it's been all year," he said. "We need to continue our formula for success and play our best on Saturday.
"There's a lot of opportunity left for these guys. We have a chance to share the Atlantic Division title, and to win the division three out of four years would be a great accomplishment for these guys.
"But none of that matters if we don't take care of business today."

The semi-annual campaign fund-raising reports for political candidates must be submitted at the end of the month, but a late contribution report filed last week by Republican Senate candidate Tony Strickland gives a significant preview of coming attractions.
On June 30 -- the final day of the reporting period -- the state Republican Party contributed $595,000 to the Strickland campaign. On the same day, the Monterey County Republican Central Committee chipped in $15,000.
In addition, a press release from the Strickland campaign reported that the former Assemblyman's Westlake Village fund-raiser featuring former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney brought in about $250,000.
Add it all together, and Strickland's total fund-raising through June 30 could approach $3 million.
Meanwhile, the state Democratic Party has been slow to begin committing money to legislative candidates, including the party's nominee in the 19th Senate District, former Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson.
Bottom line: Expect the July 31 reports to show Strickland with an impressive bank account and a significant lead over Jackson in campaign cash. The gap will almost certainly tighten as the campaign unfolds, but Strickland's early money gives him in advantage in planning and executing his strategy.

Bananafish, Anyone?
When literary commentator Gwenyfar Rohler first met J.D. Salinger, it wasn't through his famous, angst-ridden, teenage protagonist, Holden Caulfield.
Many years ago, she pulled up to dinner with Nine Stories, and met Salinger's less-known but no less complicated character, Seymour Glass. Today, she tells us why any day is the perfect day for bananafish.

The Herald-Tribune
VERSAILLES – Thomas Crawford, 17, Dillsboro, the driver of a truck involved in the March 7 accident that killed three South Ripley High School students and injured him along with two others, admitted to the delinquent acts of reckless homicide and reckless driving May 16.
About 50 people, including victims' family members, filled the courtroom as Ripley Circuit Court Judge Carl Taul read the disposition that was agreed upon by the juvenile, his parents, his attorney and Ripley County prosecutor Ric Hertel.
It said the teen would be placed in a secure juvenile detention facility for 120 days with 30 days suspended. He must admit to his traffic infraction filed in Versailles Town Court and pay fines and fees associated with the ticket. Crawford will be placed on reporting probation until age 21.
According to the disposition, the terms of his probation include surrendering his driver's license until he reaches age 21 or upon approval by Ripley Circuit Court and completing 350 hours of community service. He must follow all laws and ordinances, not be guilty of any acts of bad conduct, report to the probation department each month, answer all reasonable inquiries and permit probation officers to visit him at his residence or elsewhere.
He cannot leave the state without permission from probation. Crawford has to obey his parents and have their permission to be anywhere that requires him to be away from home.
In addition, the teen cannot possess firearms or dangerous weapons and cannot use alcohol, tobacco or controlled substances unless prescribed by a physician. He is responsible for probation fees and court costs and cannot change his address without prior permission from probation. He will also have a curfew and must attend school regularly.
Within 30 days of the order, the juvenile and his parents must obtain individual and/or family counseling and follow recommendations by the provider.
The mothers of the teens who were killed had opportunities to tell personal stories about the children they lost as well as tell Crawford how they felt.
Pat Bowman, who lost her son Curtis, the other driver, said there was "intentional speed-up as mentioned in the police report. Tommy (Crawford) never tried to stop or divert the steering wheel even after the initial impact or the second impact as stated in the police report. It is human nature and natural response to either swerve or hit the brakes when seeing a squirrel or rabbit crossing the road.
"Tommy is a habitual offender due to the facts of being witnessed and documented three times in the previous 30 days before the accident.
"In regards to Tommy being a juvenile, this is good for Tommy. While his lifestyle may be interrupted for a short while, our lifestyle has and will be changed forever. I watch our 15-year-old son experience the loss of his brother and best friend .... My husband is on daily medication just so he can make it through the day. He is 45, and his body and hair have aged what seems like 20 years in the last two months .... My youngest daughter struggles to find her place in the school and community, as her friends have changed.
"So Tommy, your rehabilitation will go by quickly, unlike our forever years without our son, Curtis. As a mother, I want you to pay the same price, but as a Christian and member of society, I want you to understand what the impact is and someday to become a responsible adult."
Mary Hanson, mother of Samantha, a front-seat passenger in Crawford's truck, commented, "You owe it to Samantha, Curtis, Jacob, Kayla and Caleb and their families to tell the people of this community that it wasn't kids being kids that caused this, that it was your irresponsibility, lack of good judgment and showing off that caused this.
"There is no justice in this. There is no punishment that can make us feel better because no matter what, our loved ones will not come back to us here.
"We do believe in accountability. You have to be accountable for your actions. You have to have punishment. I hope that you think about what your actions caused for the rest of your life .... I hope this motivates you to do something very big with your life. God has given you this opportunity. Do something great with it."
Ann Vogel, mother of Jacob, Bowman's front-seat passenger, noted, "Knowing there was a stop sign ahead, he (Crawford) shifted into fifth gear and accelerated above interstate speed on a county road and because of this decision, our community lost three young people who had the potential to make differences in all of our lives."
The judge told Crawford he was to report to the Ripley County Jail May 28 for transport to Cedar Bridge Youth Center, Muncie.

Than how come I can't use my pedal with the distortion of the amp because it sounds way too distorted and mucky. I can only use my pedal with the amp if I use the clean section of the amp. Than it sounds good. I know you use pedals to connect to amp, but do you put your amp on clean mode or on distorted mode?

Review: 30053 Republic Attack Cruiser
It's the latest Target exclusive polybag set and for some reason it isn't destined for Target's seasonal department. No, instead 30053 Republic Attack Cruiser (aka Venator) is relegated to a little hanger by the registers. No matter, as a fan of Mini sets, I naturally picked one up, but I have to admit, I was less than enthusiastic about it. There is something about this set that lacks the draw I've found in other Minis, like the Mini AAT or the Mini Vulture Droid, but what is it? Why am I not feeling it with this particular set?

A ponytail is something of a choose your own adventure: First, select a height. Low versions are sultry and boyish, mid-range ones have a jaunty charm, and high ponys are daring and fashion-forward. Once that's settled, choose your texture: Stick-straight, softly rumpled or curled each have individual appeal. No matter your path, the end result is nothing short of stunning.

CoQ10 - also known as ubiquinone - is a coenzyme that helps muscles produce the energy they need to do their work. Some studies suggest that statins can reduce the amount of CoQ10 in muscle tissue, and it has been speculated that reduced levels of CoQ10 might contribute to the muscle injury that can be associated with statins. So, some doctors recommend CoQ10 supplementation with statin therapy.
First, not all studies show that statins affect CoQ10 levels. And second, studies with CoQ10 in patients taking statins have been very limited. Only a few, small studies have been completed, and the results of these few studies are mixed.
Here is what UpToDate, an electronic reference for doctors and patients, has to say about these studies:
- "A small thirty-day randomized trial that compared CoQ10 100 mg daily with vitamin E 400 IU daily in 32 patients with myopathic pain while receiving statins found a significant reduction in pain in patients treated with CoQ10, but not in patients treated with vitamin E; neither treatment affected plasma CK levels [128]. Short-term administration of CoQ10 would not be expected to substantially increase tissue levels of ubiquinone, and the findings from this trial need confirmation in a larger trial with a longer duration of CoQ10 therapy."
- "In a preliminary report, a small randomized trial compared twelve weeks of CoQ10 200 mg daily with placebo in 44 patients with statin-induced myalgia [129]. Patients were off lipid-lowering therapy for two weeks prior to randomization and were then treated with escalating doses of simvastatin (10 to 40 mg daily as tolerated). CoQ10 supplementation increased plasma CoQ10 levels but reportedly did not increase the proportion of patients who tolerated simvastatin or decrease myalgia scores."
However, if you are having muscle pain while on statins, you should talk to your doctor about first switching to one of the statin drugs that are especially unlikely to produce muscle problems, namely, Lescol (fluvastatin) or Pravachol (pravastatin). If that is not an option, or if muscle pain persists, then taking a trial of CoQ10 would make sense.High Cholesterol Treatment Options," for additional in-depth medical information.

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is challenged to update regulations for the oil and gas industry at an unprecedented speed, said Dana Murphy, corporation commissioner.
Most of the ways that commissioners have dealt with oil and gas drilling were designed for an industry focused on vertical wells, Murphy said.
There have been more than 500,000 wells drilled in Oklahoma — mostly vertical, Murphy said. Horizontal drilling is increasingly being used to access all types of energy reservoirs other than shale, such as limestone and sandstone, Murphy said. Drilling 4,000 to 10,000 feet will include lateral drilling as much as 10,000 feet, she said.
"So, now you've got the dynamics of a vertical environment that was put in place for vertical wells," Murphy said. "Now you have horizontal wells, and how are you going to make sure that you have protections in place as far as protecting correlative rights of various owners, environmental protections and various safety issues?"
Federal regulations fill-in the regulatory backdrop for commissioners to balance with the changing dynamics of the industry, she said.
Beyond water, electricity and drilling regulations, there is the issue of air emissions, Murphy said. It is the State Department of Environmental Equality, not the Corporation Commission, that deals with air emissions.
"So, now you've got the feds concerned about air emissions along the gas supply chain, from basically the drill bit to the burner tip," Murphy said.
Murphy sees a collaborative relationship developing between regulatory agencies which typically had a divided focus, she said.
Cement surface casing has been used to protect shallow-ground water aquifers, a regulatory area of responsibility for the Corporation Commission, Murphy said. The security of these casings is projected to endure the 30-50 years that these wells are projected to be productive, Murphy said.
"We're still in the newness of some drilling of these wells," Murphy said. "So it's hard to know, really, how far they're going to drain, or what the maturity will be of the well."
There are checks and balances put in place with the bonding of the cement surface casings and wells, she said.
"It's in the company's best interest to make sure there's not some problem because you want to maximize the recovery you have from the well," Murphy said. "If they're not to set the appropriate amount of surface casing — a lot of times what they have to do — they have to plug-off and they have to start another well."
Electric infrastructure is another issue, Murphy said. Water is needed for cooling utility purposes. The drilling of long horizontal wells in northern Oklahoma, is an example of an area served by rural electric cooperatives.
"There's not a lot of residences and there hasn't been a lot of demand for power," Murphy said. "And all of the sudden, now, here we have the oil and gas industry coming in one of their most active areas and there hasn't been this demand of power on these little electric cooperatives."
Most oil and gas leases run about three years, Murphy said. However, she said the planning and developing process to upgrade the rural electric infrastructure takes several years. Their planning cycles are different, Murphy said. County commissioners in these sparsely populated areas struggle to meet the challenge, she said.
"It is a lot, and I don't think people have thought about the big picture," Murphy said.
Meanwhile, the oil and gas industries are doing more outreach to the public. Murphy has been busy creating a series of town meetings focusing on horizontal drilling. One meeting will be in Perry sometime between August and October, she said.
These town hall meetings include local and national associations of mineral owners, the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board, and typically an energy company in the area.
"It's not just driven by money," Murphy said of drilling for energy purposes. "We have to drink the water and breathe the air, too. That's one thing I talk about with local regulation. Would you rather have local people who live in the community that drink the water and breathe the air you do, or would you rather have some federal agency regulating a 'one-size-fits all' with people who don't even live in your area?"
Murphy advocates for the ability of the states to regulate at a local level, she said.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said today that agreements between the Environmental Protection Agency and environmental groups have led to new rules and regulations for states without allowing attorneys general to enter the process to defend the interest of states, businesses and consumers.
Pruitt and 11 other attorneys general, filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court requesting access to documents related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "sue and settle" strategy with environmental groups.
"The EPA is picking winners and losers, exhibiting favoritism, at the expense of due process and transparency," Pruitt said. "They are manipulating our legal system to achieve what they cannot through our representative democracy. The outcomes of their actions affect every one of us by sticking states with the bill and unnecessarily raising utility rates by as much as 20 percent."

Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary (now Palmer Theological Seminary) was founded to provide a theologically conservative Seminary within the American Baptist Churches. Beginning in 1925 as a department in the Seminary, in 1952 Eastern University became a separate institution and moved to its present St. Davids location taking the name "Eastern Baptist College". In 1972, it was renamed "Eastern College". In 2001, the Pennsylvania Department of Education granted the institution "university status" and it was renamed Eastern University. In 2004, the institution's Board voted to acquire its previous parent institution, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and EBTS changed its name to Palmer Theological Seminary in honor of a previous president in 2005.

11. Sell bargain tickets to Final Dress
Sell admission to your final dress rehearsal(s) at a reduced rate. Today's poor student is tomorrow's successful theatre patron.
12. Team up with a local restaurant
Team up with a local restaurant for a 'themed' night, at a special price per plate, with serenading performances by your cast throughout the meal.
13. Paint, sign and sell your old instruments...
For symphonies or musical groups, collect old or broken (i.e., unplayable) instruments from musicians, then have them signed or painted by the musicians, and auction or raffle them off! It's a great and special way to add a bit of life to the instrument, and turns it into a treasured keepsake.
14. Sell admission to a staged reading
Stage a highly publicized one-night-only (or one-weekend-only) reading, and sell tickets at a premium. Add a bit of glitz to the event by involving a local celeb or respected guest, even a local politician. Keep everything formal, beautifully set up, and elegant. Use barstools for the performers, not chairs. Light the reading creatively. And introduce and close the reading with reminders to donate and support the rest of your season.
15. Ask your local business community...If you're a nonprofit, solicit donations of goods to sell or auction from local businesses, emphasizing that you'll promote their support in your PR campaign as well as in your programs for the year.
16. Stage benefit concerts... even in the streets!
Dorky Mum
While benefit concerts are a tried and true approach, you could take that a step further and offer smaller, isolated performances around town for donations, including soloists, duets, string quartets, and more. Always make sure the performers are clearly wearing T-shirts or sweatshirts with your organization name or logo -- every little bit of advertising helps!
17. Use the power of Social MediaGet a business to offer a show sponsorship or donation if you get X number of Facebook fans... then get those fans! Do a variation of this on Twitter, promising some humorous but dire outcome if you don't reach the desired number of followers.
18. Sell your stuff on CafePressPut your logo on an array of stuff at CafePress. It's free for a basic assortment (meaning a single image on everything available). Mark everything up to PREMIUM. Don't hesitate. You'll thank me. Then promote the heck out of it. Full disclosure -- I've run a CafePress store for five years, both in support of my theatrical enterprises, as well as to celebrate my love of pop culture and the performing arts. It's something that's easy, free (or nearly free), and a surprising revenue source if you promote it right.
19. Get a local corporation to sponsor an appropriate show
Today, it's all about branding and promotion. So get a local corporation to sponsor a specific show. This is especially effective if the show and the corporation are a good match. For instance:
- Get an ad agency, temp agency, or office-supply company to sponsor How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying
- Get a realty group or groups to support Glengarry Glen Ross
- Get a swanky local hair salon or group to sponsor your production of Hair
- See if a local veteran's organization will sponsor your production of Mister Roberts -- or A Few Good Men!
20. Auction off the best seats in the house
Some people want the best, and they're willing to pay for it! With this in mind, sell the two (or four, or six, etc.) best seats in the house at a premium, at auction. Sell them by the show, or by the season -- you'll be surprised how popular this option will turn out to be.
So that's the scoop!
You get the idea... Your fundraising possibilities are limited only by your creativity. Go forth, be creative -- then share your successes in our forums!

An Overview
Dating, cemeteries, cars, rugs, ability to change aspirations, different sized lots, more building options, all are things that add to game. "The Sims 2 Nightlife" doesn't add a lot of depth, instead the pack adds a bunch of smaller features that end to the breadth of the game. Maxis has said that they try to add something for every type of gamer. In this case they have. New building options (diagonals in pools, garages, half walls) for the home designers and new social interactions and dating for the gamers who actually play their Sims.
While you are Downtown, you may meet up with Vampires. Yes, that's right. Vampires cannot be out during the day, so you'll find them out late at night dancing and bowling. If your Sim becomes close friends with a Vampire, the Sim could be bitten and become a Vampire himself! There is an antidote if you or the Sim no longer wants to be a Vampire.
Sims can choose to go on Dates or go on Outings with people from work or other friends. The results of good outings could be a promotion, skills, or maybe even a dinner coupon.
The Cars
The Dating Game
Chemistry measures how well Sims are matched for each other. It goes beyond the physical attributes that an attraction is measured by. Chemistry is determined by aspirations, personality, and interests. Sims can have amazing chemistry together or they can be repelled by each other.
Now back to dating. If a date goes well, your Sim may get a gift, love letter, or flowers left on their doorstep. Otherwise, watch out for flaming bags of poo. No joking. Speaking of bags of poo, you really need to watch out for Sims that become furious because they catch you cheating or flirting. They will make your life miserable.

This is how it worked: Mr. Andruzzi and his son Mike picked me up in their Karmann Ghia and gears would grind for a couple of miles to N.C. State's Reynolds Coliseum.
As a red-blazer Wolfpack Club member, Mr. Andruzzi was assigned to one of the many doors and took his position before the gates opened for basketball games. Knowing where his dad was stationed, Mike and I would knock, in code. Mr. Andruzzi told us to do that, but I think he was having fun.
He cracked the door wide enough for us to slip in, and Mike and I knew our place, Section 11, top of the aisle, our concrete bleachers. From there, a couple of junior high kids during the early '70s watched the best college basketball in the land.
David Thompson, Tommy Burleson, Monte Towe, Tim Stoddard, Mo Rivers and Phil Spence off the bench. I remember the lineup, the bench, the recruiting class, the fight songs, coach Norm Sloan's fashion statements, and North Carolina coming to town for the most intense games of the season.
Memories of those days shortened an early-morning ride home from Omaha, Neb., after watching Kansas somehow defeat Purdue last weekend to complete the Midwest Region bracket that puts Kansas, N.C. State and North Carolina under one roof in St. Louis tonight.
For more than two decades at the Kansas City Star, I've had the fortune of working for a newspaper that values college sports coverage, as the newspapers in North Carolina do. That I can recite lead paragraphs to stories in The (Raleigh) News and Observer and The Raleigh Times during the Thompson era probably was clue that my vocation was unavoidable.
During that time, this notion also was unavoidable: N.C. State-North Carolina was the best rivalry going.
There might be two sets of people who take issue with North Carolina-Duke as the game's all-time hate-fest: those who know anything about Kansas-Missouri, a rivalry called Border War with its origin in bloodshed and hostilities predating the Civil War, and those who were around N.C. State-North Carolina during the 1970s.
I can speak to both. So can North Carolina coach Roy Williams.
We used to talk about this when I covered Williams' Kansas teams during the 1990s, that people in the Midwest didn't appreciate the passion of ACC basketball and ACC folks were indifferent toward college basketball's historical roots in Kansas. After all, the buildings that house North Carolina's and Kentucky's programs were named for a couple of Jayhawks - Dean Smith and Phog Allen.
The weekday afternoon games of March, I was delighted to find, brought the same disruption in work and school in Kansas City, Mo., as Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro.
As for N.C. State-North Carolina in the day, you had to be there. I was, thanks to Mr. Andruzzi. And for a few years, the Wolfpack dominated. From the final meeting in 1972, through N.C. State's ACC title seasons into Thompson's senior season in 1975, N.C. State owned the series and I didn't miss a game against North Carolina, Maryland, Appalachian State or anybody at Reynolds.
On N.C. State-North Carolina game days, you showed up at school in red or Carolina blue and argued Burleson, Towe, Bobby Jones and George Karl. But Thompson, as he did in most games, ended the discussion. The Tar Heels had no answer. Nobody did.
Maryland posed the bigger threat to N.C. State for a while, and for drama and excellence I'll see you Duke-Kentucky in the 1992 regional final and raise you N.C. State-Maryland in the 1974 ACC title game. Unless you want to go N.C. State-UCLA two weeks later in the national semifinal in Greensboro. I'll buy that argument as well.
A freshman flipped the fortunes in N.C. State-North Carolina with Phil Ford's remarkable performance in the 1975 ACC tournament. After that, the best rivalry going seemed to be North Carolina against ACC flavor of the moment, until coach Mike Krzyzewski arrived at Duke in 1980. This was about the time the NCAA bracket and coverage swelled, and Duke-North Carolina grew with it.
Kansas fans are burning plenty of nervous energy over this weekend. Confronting their Jayhawks tonight is an athletic N.C. State team assigned the same No. 11 seed as the fearless Virginia Commonwealth squad that denied them the Final Four last year. If seeds hold, there's old Roy and the entire former Kansas staff against his old school, as it was in the 2008 national semifinal, in a winner-cut-the-nets.
Television would love that matchup. But judging from the messages I've received from Raleigh friends this weekend, an N.C. State-North Carolina regional final would be huge, maybe the biggest thing to hit the rivalry since the days of the Karmann Ghia.

Here are some pics from our recent weekend at the beach in Florida. We loved our holiday getaway to the new Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Clearwater Beach, Florida. It was a truly memorable experience because of the unusual weather, the food, the hotel amenities, not to mention the beautiful beaches.
There is a good reason why Clearwater Beach is one of the top five beaches in the country. White sands, clear water and a beautiful beach, tons of entertainment for all ages and interests plus great places to eat and shop.Â
Our hotel was decorated for the season and I especially liked the stairway with all the
poinsettias on display - very festive, don't you think?
We were there for the annual company holiday party, something we always look forward to, and since the company did so well this year, they actually paid for two nights at the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Clearwater, not to mention a fabulous spread. We felt like we won the lottery.
The weather was unusually cool and fickle, but we didn't mind, since we managed to catch enough sunshine, including a sunny and warm Sunday Morning room service breakfast on our balcony listening to the waves crashing. Â
This was the first time I've seen early morning fog on the beach - it was fascinating to see and photograph.
There were not too many people out and about, it was still windy and cool.Â
 The beach looked all but deserted.
This couple certainly was a bright cheery spot,
huddled beneath their umbrella
with one of the hotels shrouded in fog behind them.
Slowly the weather improved .....
Little girl on the beach
Before long the skies were blue again and kids were out on their bikes and roller blades and everyone started drifting toward the beaches ..
Shot of Pier 60 in Clearwater
The sunsets at Pier 60 in Clearwater are legendary and always a festive event all year round, weather permitting there will be music and arts and crafts vendors.
there were people everywhere
and you could hear every language under the sun.
The pink building you see in the background is the Hyatt Hotel where we stayed.
The sun was bright and glistening on the water.
A popular spot in the hot Florida summers
is the sundial
with misting water to cool off.
The fog rolled back in again by afternoon and
made for a surreal sight
... a foggy sunset.
Both views taken from our hotel room...
The tops of the tallest buildings barely showed above the fog.
A strangely cool looking sight:)
Other then the beach we did some heavy partying and dancing and it was all over way too fast.
We live in the area, but don't frequent Clearwater Beach much since it has a tendency to be too touristy, but
here is an insider tip for you: If you like seafood, but can't afford those pricey tourist restaurants - check out "Frenchy's". They have four restaurants near the beach, one is within walking distance of the Hyatt, called the "Salt Water Cafe". A super casual, beachy themed hang out, with excellent crab, grouper sandwiches and great seafood, cheap appetizers and drinks, friendly service and always a kid friendly, family, party atmosphere.
One more tip - if you happen to visit in December, be sure to visit the Florida Botanical Garden to see the Holiday Light Display, it's free, fantastic and close-by.
For your information - if you happen to be on vacation in Florida - here are some helpful links

The white powder scare at the Collin Street Bakery Thursday is officially being investigated as a hoax, thanks to further testing by the feds.
"Additional testing of the white powder by the U.S. Postal Inspector's Lab showed no signs of harmful materials," said Corsicana Police Chief Randy Bratton Friday afternoon. "The investigation will remain with the Corsicana Police Department and investigated as a hoax."
The letter containing white powder came in one of the bakery's pre-printed mail order envelopes. It also contained a note, but police are not saying what it stated except to say that it wasn't addressed to anyone in particular. It was sent anonymously.

Award-winning traditional Cherokee flutist Randy McGinnis will host "Summer Sounds," a benefit concert for the Maryville Arts Coalition, at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 21, in the Lambert Recital Hall at the Clayton Center for the Arts at Maryville College.
The Maryville Arts Coalition sponsors Last Friday Art Walk, among other arts endeavors.
Tickets are $10 per person. The concert will include both solo music on the Cherokee flute and ensemble pieces with other musicians. Silver Spoons Café at the Clayton Center for the Arts will stay open until 8 p.m. for dinner, with a portion of the proceeds from the evening being donated to MAC.
McGinnis, a Cherokee Indian born into the Deer Clan, plays music based on the old songs he grew up listening to as a small boy. He taught himself to play these songs on the native flute.
McGinnis received a prestigious award from R. Carlos Nakai for the promotion, preservation and education of the Native American flute. He founded the Smoky Mountain Flute Circle in Townsend and is the founder and president/CEO of Echota Technologies in Alcoa.
McGinnis created Deer Star Productions, a Native American record label. He is on the board of directors for the International Native American Flute Players Association (www.inafa.org) and is a member of the Maryville Arts Coalition board. His first recording, "Ancient Voices of the Smoky Mountains," gives great insight to the heartfelt music that is created.
Tickets are available at Blount Today, Boyd Thomas Clothing, Village Tinker and from MAC board members.

Not that you care, but…
Posted by Lizzie on 11/02/06
We're back. And sorry. We're sorry! We haven't blogged in NINETY-SIX THOUSAND YEARS and damned if we really don't have an excuse–except for being, despite recent assurances to the contrary, a, you know, bad person. But all that is over now! We are happily or in any event ineluctably ensconced in C.-Gard, Brooklyn, where the collective surrounding weight of other writers promises to ensure we will never write another article, to say nothing of a book, until we are 57. (Do you know we wrote ELEVEN BOOKS IN BALTIMORE? Eleven. We had like eleven boyfriends too. And there were CRABS, for chrissakes. What in the motherhell are we doing here–we better have a Sarsgaard sighting immediately.)
Anyway, we just wanted to let you know–did you catch it the first ten times?–that we're back. Publicists, please check out the About page for our new mailing address. We will post some reviews soon, although every book we have read in the past six months has been so godawful we'd break Speedreader if we tried to address them all. (You know what is awesome though? Us. And Top Chef. And, weirdly, that Rachael Ray! She's spunky.)
In lieu of actual content, we thought we'd just present a letter we recently received in our inbox, somewhat annotated for, you know, clarification. The letter is from our former landlady, whom we screamed at for deducting from our security deposit a charge to clear a drain that had been clogged OUR ENTIRE TIME IN THE APARTMENT DESPITE NUMEROUS PLEAS FOR SNAKING. (Ooo! Rude, rude.) The backstory: IT WASN'T OUR RAZOR CAP, OKAY?
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Moi |
well it's about fucking time– now I can get that gd Hall & Oates song to stop looping in my head "She's gone . ."
And, have you checked out Scarlett Thomas– specifically, PopCo? Found it via bookslut and has been the best author discovery since, well, you know, Marquand.
NO! who what where is she?
[...] The Old Hag has moved to Brooklyn, "where the collective surrounding weight of other writers promises to ensure we will never write another article, to say nothing of a book, until we are 57." [...]
