[author: Nate Endrud]
The CFTC approved an appeal of the September 28, 2012 federal district court decision that vacated the agency's position limits rule based on a finding that the agency had neglected to first find that the limits were necessary to "diminish, eliminate, or prevent" the burden of undue speculation on interstate commerce. The agency filed a notice in the district court that it had appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Commissioner O'Malia, one of the two dissenting Commissioner's in the 3-2 vote to approved the appeal, issued a dissenting statement questioning the Commission's decision to "double down on its no-justification-needed stance":
"Even if the Commission successfully appeals the ruling, there is a very good chance that the Commission would be right back in the district court to defend against plaintiffs' other challenges, including their argument that the Commission failed to adequately weigh the costs and benefits of the rule. To save the Commission's time and resources, it would be much more logical for the Commission to go back to the drawing board now to study the markets and to determine whether new position limits are in fact necessary, and only if so then to decide on the most cost-effective way of establishing such limits."
Chairman Gensler, on the other hand, issued a statement supporting the ruling, calling it "critically important that these position limits be established as Congress required."

A week in Paris - Day 0
My trip began with a simple flight from LEX to Chicago O'Hare (ORD) with a connection to Frankfurt, Germany. The plan? A day in Germany site-seeing, then the train to Paris. It was simple. The train tickets were even booked.
The problem? My ...
For once an easy flight...
For once, leaving Lexington actually occurred reasonably on time. We only had a couple minutes of a delay before easily flying off to Detroit then onto Hartford, CT to wait for the rest of the group. Sadly, our flight out of Detroit was delayed, which put us into Hartford about an hour late and just enough time to meet everyone, even though we were supposed to arrive an hour before them!
Natural Bridge State Park
Took a right hand turn this trip and went west this leg of the trip. We were bound for Natural Bridge State Park in Slade Ky. It was a short ride, only about 2 hours. The park has two campgrounds. The one we stayed at was down in a valley, just below the road we drove in on. Road noise was a problem during the day, with eighteen wheelers downshifting ...

Fashion Design
Jewellery DesigningFashion has always got something extra to offer and designing being the inevitable part of it also makes a suitable career avenue. The gem and jewellery industry is one of the most creative segments across the globe. The trade offers tremendous growth and exceptional career opportunities for many and given an opportunity of proper training and experience, only sky is the limit. It is no longer a cloistered trade carried out by semi-literate goldsmiths in family vaults, passed down like a well-kept secret from generation to generation. Instead, thanks to the advances in technology, it has landed on the drawing board with some firms even using computer-aided designs to create exquisite pieces in virtual reality. The course in this segment develops individual creativity, understanding and skills employed in Jewellery Design and Manufacturing. The practice of Jewellery Design has evolved giving way to advanced techniques and applications. The Diploma Course in Jewellery Design and Manufacture Technology is open to anyone holding a higher secondary certificate and proficient in English. The course is primarily for those who would like a career in both managerial activities as well as in production aspects of the jewelers business. Most designers begin their careers as apprentices in jewellery showrooms or in their family businesses; the duration of apprenticeship may depend on their line of specialization and the nature of appointment. At the entry level, the apprentices are only designing products for the mass market but later they graduate to customized jewellery. Once they have evolved their inimitable style, some can start their own retail business. Course: -

The young man that did the check in was very good. Fast, friendly and professinal
This location has a great surplus of vehicles and moving supplies. Employees do their job, but seem like they really don't want to be there. The public can be hard to deal with in this industry, but a smile can go a long way.
Great customer service. I had a unique situation that required me to visit the Uhaul twice within a week. They were hassle free and very personable. They not only understood my situation and helped me get a truck promptly they were very personable.
Very helpful and friendly.
I seem to have interrupted the manager's lunch, which left the other person to handle all the people coming in. No acknowledgement of my presence when I walked in. Another customer and I discussed the poor customer service. Staff was helpful when they got to me.
Clerk was not very friendly. Truck had a broken mirror.
fix the customer service line. We got the run around at first. Started at one location got sent to the another location and then was told we needed to go back to the old location again. The people at the Uhaul store was great though.
We've had disappointing service here in the past.
Fast,friendly and no b.s.
Check in lady was a grouch. Uhaul transmission is in very poor shape.
When I checked the van back in the man tried to charge me nearly $40 for a U-Haul tax! What the hell is that? I told him under no uncertain terms I would not pay the U-Haul tax! Never will I rent from U-Haul again!
I should've been offered a break on my bill due to having to wait on a properly operating dolly, but wasn't. I felt like I was patient and understanding considering the wait, ect.
Good experience and very helpful...
This part was easy.
I have rented from this location before and I always find their equipment in good shape and the staff courteous and professional.
The truck I was in mechanically seemed fine but the truck was beat up it ran hard and the belt was squealing. Maintenance is all I can say they would need to step up on otherwise awesome, great people, easy process. Thanks
Nothing really. The trailer we rented was dented and had not been swept out, but it served its purpose well and the customer service in returning the equipment was outstanding.
I can not think of anything, other than to say that we have been using this U-Haul facility for the last few months as we are getting ready to move and the Manager is absolutely fabulous. We have used U-Haul for many years, having moved many times, and this facility is far and away the best of the ones we have used and is so probably because of her.
Need to work on being customer friendly.
Excellent customer service, very knowledgeable staff, wasn't quite sure what to do with my dolly when I Brought it back because the store was closed so maybe they could outline the process that's more of what to do with it because I just dropped it off in the yard v
Great service, friendly staff!
The safety chains need replacing as they are thin due to wear.
The attendant that helped me was outstanding as usual. Did not catch his name but he is a recent addition to U-haul (I think he said a month) and was in the Army previously. This is the type of people that will make your company greater.
Very slow customer service to return vehicle. 15 minutes to be helped and 25 minutes total. Seems like it could have been a lot more efficient. Other than that it was a good experience.
The staff was more than helpful, when we had reserved a 10ft and decided when we came to pick it up that we needed a 14ft. We were luck that a 14ft was available.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia's quarterbacks shuffle continued Thursday. Freshman Chavas Rawlins has decided to leave the Mountaineers.
Rawlins enrolled in January, but took limited practice reps behind junior Paul Millard and redshirt freshman Ford Childress during spring football drills and didn't play at all in the spring game April 20.
"Chavas has been getting reps in practice and slowly we've been moving him along, but obviously he's got a long ways to go," Coach Dana Holgorsen said after the game.
Then again, Holgorsen also said, "The team that we field in September is going to look a lot different."
The changes began quickly.
Clint Trickett, who spent three years and played two seasons at Florida State, was at the spring game on an official visit and decided two weeks later to transfer to WVU. Trickett has already graduated and has two years left to play two seasons.
The day before the game, William Crest, from Baltimore's Dunbar High, made a verbal (non-binding) commitment to the 2014 class. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Crest is regarded as a four-star prospect and a top-20 dual threat at the position.
The 6-2, 200-pound Rawlins can transfer without his time at WVU counting against his eligibility.
If he moves to a FBS school, he'd remain a true freshman in the fall and have five years of eligibility, but he'd have to sit out. It he moved to a lower division, he'd have five years, but he'd also be eligible to play right away.
Rawlins passed for 2,373 yards and 25 touchdowns and ran for 1,338 and 19 touchdowns his final two seasons at Monessen (Pa.) High. He was the Class A all-state quarterback in 2012.
Said to run the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds, Rawlins was coveted by colleges on offense and defense.
He picked WVU over scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Duke, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Nebraska, North Carolina, Northwestern, Pitt, Purdue, Rutgers, USF, Tennessee and Virginia.

XBMC questions for jailbroken ATV2
I jailbroke my AppleTV2 and put XMBC (Eden 11.0) on it. I installed SMBUp on my iMac and added my external hard drive to my network. Everytime I log in XBMC on my AppleTV2 it says "Loading media info from files". I have several thousand songs and it takes quite a while to do this. Is this supposed to scan every time you log in XBMC?
Also is there a way to scroll faster using the aluminum Apple remote when browsing Artists? It's super fast when scrolling through music when you're in the default music section in AppleTV, but very slow in XBMC. I also have a folder of DVD rips that I ripped, encoded, and tagged in the .m4v format. When I locate the folder that the movies are in on my external hard drive (that is networked) in XBMC , the folder appears empty, when there's hundreds of movies in the folder. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you very much for your help.

There are a number of ebook readers available for Android, but if you want a Holo-friendly option, your best bet is to rely on Google Books or the latest version of Aldiko. Now there's another competitor making its way over from iOS that seems to blend in just as well, if not more so. Readmill for Android offers a reading experience that's easy on the eyes and - since it's not tied to a bookstore of its own - your wallet.
This morning, Borders' website was updated with new instructions for obtaining the Borders eBooks reader app for Android, in conjunction with its launch of the Borders eBooks store.
The app (as stated above) will only work on Android 2.0+ devices. Once you create a Borders eBooks account (which can be done entirely through the app), you can purchase eBooks in-app (uh-oh Kindle for Android) and read them straight away! We've provided a couple of screens below.
Apple has just announced that iPhone OS 4 will support multitasking, allowing users to dive in and out of apps and keep some parts of an app running in the background while doing other things.
This is all done through a pop-up dock like interface that can be accessed by double pressing the home button. This will bring up all the apps that are currently running in the background.
Steve Jobs said they've figured out how to implement multitasking without it being detrimental to battery life or the performance of the phone.

This is a brief historical summary of the San Francisco 49ers' 1988 season. The 49ers had just been catapulted out of the playoffs by the Vikings, and the health and longevity of Joe Montana was as much as question as ever. How would they deal with the devastating loss? How would they handle the growing controversy surrounding Stave Young, Joe Montana, and the starting job? What can you learn about Kezar Stadium that you didn't already know?

Head Coach: Bill Walsh
Key Losses: LB Milt McColl, K Ray Wersching, T Keith Fahnhorst, TE Russ Francis, DB Dana McLemore, C David Quillan, LB Todd Shell
Key Additions: K Mike Cofer, DL Pierce Holt, LB Bill Romanowski
Prior to the 1988 season, the St. Louis Cardinals relocated to Phoenix and changed their name to the Phoenix Cardinals. The rest of the league remained without major change.
For the 49ers, controversy was brewing. After steamrolling the league during the regular season in 1987, the 49ers had fallen to the Vikings in the playoffs with barely so much as a whimper. The loss had been deeply embarrassing for the team, but was particularly notable for the performance of Steve Young, who replaced a struggling Joe Montana in the second half and played more than admirably in what was by then a hopeless cause anyway. That, combined with his stellar performances from his late season appearances planted a seed in the minds of the coaches.
They lost a number of players at the end of the year, but many of them had been relegated to the bench prior to 1987 to begin with, so while the losses hurt the team's depth, they had next to no impact on the starting roster. In that same vein, the team's offseason was a notably quiet one. They brought Mike Cofer in from New Orleans and used their three top picks to draft defensive linemen Danny Stubbs and Pierce Holt, and linebacker Bill Romanowski.
Much more important was something that happened at a press conference as the exhibition season was getting under way. When asked about the state of the team Bill Walsh mentioned, in what may or may not have been a poorly worded statement, that there might just be a quarterback controversy on the team. From that moment on, Steve Young and the continued quality of his play would be a major point of contention.
But of course, Montana remained the unopposed starter for the time being. And with good reason. In the season opener against the Saints, he threw three touchdowns on the way to a 34-33 victory that wasn't as close as the final score. Unfortunately, he tweaked his elbow during the game, and Walsh decided that Young would get the start in week two while he rested the injury.
Against Phil Simms, Bill Parcells, and the New York Giants, Young was effective. But the game was tied and too tight for comfort at halftime, and Walsh turned the game over to his star to try to put away a victory against one of the best teams in the league. The game remained tight, but ultimately the move paid off as Montana found Jerry Rice late in the game to take a three point lead that would end up being the difference. Controversy aside, the 49ers were 2-0, and Joe Montana was the reason why.
But that didn't mean he was invincible, and the team lost their first game the following week. Any questions from that game would be answered in the next, though, when the 49ers and Montana dismantles the Seahawks 38-7. Then, after handing the Lions a loss the following week, the 49ers welcomed the Broncos into Candlestick.
The game conditions were absolutely disastrous, and as both teams struggled to move the ball through the air, Walsh turned to the speedy legs of Young to try to gain the advantage. The result: a costly interception that led to Denver's winning field goal.
A similar situation would occur two weeks later in freezing conditions against the Bears in Chicago. Again, Young failed to deliver as the team lost 10-9. A pattern was becoming clear: Montana was winning games, and Young was not.
Unfortunately, another pattern was also rearing its ugly head - that of Joe Montana's back. While recovering from dysentery over the course of the week, he began to have back spasms. He wouldn't be available against the Vikings, and Young would get the start. The media and the fans had a field day over the implications of that.
And for the first time that season, Young delivered. After a deeply uneven first half, Young led the team on three scoring drives in the second half. The first capped by a one-yard Roger Craig touchdown run, the second by a 73-yard John Taylor touchdown reception, and the third by a play that would turn out to be one of the defining moments of Young's entire career. Trapped behind the line on the Vikings' 49-yard line, Young suddenly, somehow found daylight and, breaking tackle after tackle in a spectacular display of agility, speed, strength and overall athleticism, began a sprint to the endzone that nobody who watched the game would ever forget. The score put the team ahead 24-21, and that's the way it stayed.
Montana was still hurting and Young played again the next week in a game that required nothing short of a total defensive collapse to lose. Even though Young had played well, the loss was enough to force Walsh's hand, and Joe Cool was back in the driver's seat. The results were no better, and the player's held a meeting a few days later to discuss the season.
Whatever they discussed, it worked. They won all of the next four games, and all by a wide margin. For the first time all season, the 49ers that had dominated much of 1987, the 49ers that the fans had grown use to watching over the last half-decade were back. By week 16, they had clinched the division and a first-round bye, and their loss to the Rams was only significant in that it lifted Los Angeles into the playoffs over New Orleans.
The 49ers' first playoff game that year couldn't have been scripted better. The Vikings were coming to town, and they had a big chip on their collective shoulder from the game earlier in the year that Young had almost single-handedly taken from them. The 49ers made them eat that chip, though, and much like the Vikings had embarrassed San Francisco the year before, the 49ers embarrassed the Vikings this time around.
Which brought the 49ers out to Chicago. Earlier in the season, the 49ers had lost to the Bears in Chicago, and many believed that history would repeat itself. That was not to be so. Where the 49ers had struggled to move the ball in the icy cold of their first matchup, it was the Bears who slipped up in this game - quite literally in some cases. On one such play, Jerry Rice took a short pass the length of the field as two would be tacklers slipped in pursuit on the slick playing surface. This game, like the game against the Vikings, wasn't close, and the 49ers coasted into their third Super Bowl appearance in less than a decade. And just like their first, they would be playing the Bengals.
The 49ers were big favorites going into the game, but for three solid quarters they - and the game - failed to live up to the billing. Both teams slogged through a slow, sloppy, low-scoring affair that featured stalled drives, fumbles, interceptions, and field goals. Then, in the third quarter, Cincinnati kick returner Stanford Jennings took a kickoff back 93 yards for a touchdown that changed the game completely. It focused both teams, and suddenly the game was exciting again.
The 49ers countered almost immediately with a decisive touchdown drive of their own. Battling and scrapping through the fourth-quarter, the Bengals finally regained the lead on a field goal with a little over three minutes to play. Time was running out for the 49ers and the Bengals buckled down.
But Montana, Rice, Craig and the rest of the 49ers saw things differently. In one of the most memorable drives in 49ers history, the 49ers marched down the field. And on a drive highlighted by critical receptions from stars Jerry Rice and Roger Craig, it was ultimately John Taylor who caught the winning touchdown pass with less than a minute to play. There would be no more scoring, and the 49ers won their third franchise championship.
Historical Profile: Kezar Stadium
Kezar stadium began in 1922 as a $100,000 donation from Mary Kezar to the San Francisco Park Commission to build a memorial in honor of her family. When the city added its own contribution to the fund, construction on Kezar began. Originally an all-purpose stadium, Kezar hosted everything from track and field to motorcycle racing to soccer and boxing matches.
Ultimately, the 49ers would come to call Kezar home when they first started playing 1946. They would continue to play there through 1970, after which they would move to Candlestick. But the 49ers weren't the only professional football team to call Kezar home. The Raiders, of all teams, played their first season in Kezar as well. That union was short-lived, though, as Oakland moved a few more times in the ensuing years in search of greener pastures.
Located on Frederick street, Kezar Stadium seated 60,000 spectators, and it was this capacity that allowed for the stadium to house the most attendees ever at a high school football game, as 50,000+ came out to watch San Francisco Polytechnic battle it out with Lowell High School on the field.
The stadium was demolished in 1989 in a project that called for it to be rebuilt at a considerably smaller capacity of 10,000. Other improvements were made to the stadium during this process, but in the end the Kezar that fans had grown up in while rooting for their San Francisco 49ers was gone, and gone forever, a vivid memory for some and a simple footnote in the franchise's history for others.

Since it's Friday I'm going to share my Arizona instagrams and link up with Life Rearranged. It's been a while! You can follow my instagram if you aren't already, my handle is creolewisdom.
love the graphic for the city, so different from the Minneapolis sailboat//Beth and I checked out a new park in Mesa, they had the neatest climbing structure. Next time I'm wearing pants.
Beth's husband makes some incredible bread, I'm glad I got a bite before a certain someone devoured it all!//Enjoying some local honey from nearby Tempe!
I love the dusty ground here, and I took a few minutes to savor bare feet in grass since I know I won't get that for months. I probably looked like a crazy person when I slipped my sandals off//Isn't this piece gorgeous!? Beth painted it and it lives in my kitchen now. My very first piece of original artwork! She's working on a website now, which I'll add to my sidebar.
Until next time, Arizona!

The original SSX title debuted successfully as a PlayStation 2 launch title way back in 2001. EA successfully followed up the series a year later with SSX Tricky. A lot of people didn't think it was possible (They must of had low standards, then. - Ed) but in 2003 EA improved upon the formula even more, adding a completely free roaming mountain and even more tricks to the game. After three fairly incredible games have EA improved upon the series even more with SSX On Tour, or is the SSX series becoming a little too formulaic?
From the very beginning of the game it is apparent that EA have tried to change the overall look of On Tour. Whilst SSX3 featured a techno soundtrack and a very "down the line" look, On Tour lets it's guard down and features a heavy rock soundtrack, backing it up with an appropriate look. The entire visual look of the game is very different to its predecessors, so it is refreshing to see that EA have tried a different approach.
As you could imagine from the game's title, the main mode in the game is "the tour". At the beginning of the Tour you have to create your own rider and build your career. Each part of the tour is divided up into certain skiing or boarding events. Some of the events include shred events or high score challenges. As you can see, there is no lack of things to do. As mentioned above, for the first time in the series you are able to ski as well. This doesn't make too much of a difference to the game and really takes a back step in comparison to the snowboarding.
Aside from the tour mode there is also a quick play option, which is an appreciated inclusion. One of the most disappointing omissions to the game is the lack of an online mode. The online mode of SSX3 wasn't very fleshed out, but had potential so we're a little disappointed it has been removed entirely; it feels as if EA just gave up on the mode and cut their losses. There is support for up to two players offline, but the multiplayer mode just feels like it has been stripped down a little. Despite this, the game still remains fairly fun.
The game play itself hasn't changed that much though, except it feels like a little bit of Burnout has crept into the game. When you are racing the screen will blur, and whilst this may seem like a novelty it really does make the game feel a lot more faster and frantic. The monster tricks are back in force, but in terms of move variety there haven't been many new additions. Overall though, the game play has been fine tuned since the second title, so we weren't really expecting any evolutions. The skiing feels a lot slower than the snowboarding, with little variety in terms of tricks between them. The skiing options just feel like you're snowboarding except with less speed and a different set of gear.
The visual style is the major change to the game. During the loading screens all sorts of characters pop up and even though the visual style is different, it doesn't take long to adjust to it. Otherwise the game hasn't evolved too much, the tracks themselves are a lot more realistic, and there isn't as much colour in the courses, which would indicate to us that EA are going for a much more realistic look in the tracks. One of the most impressive aspects of the game has always been the huge mountains in the background and thankfully these are still present. Even though we know that the background is just a static image it really makes the environments feel a lot more vast and atmospheric.
Whilst we did like the visual look of the game, we were a little unimpressed by the music. This all really comes down to personal preference, though. If you're a fan of the rock genre then there is plenty to like here, with a lot of licensed artists. However, if you're not a fan of rock songs then you can just decide to turn the music off. There is plenty of mountain ambience so the game still feels fairly atmospheric.
The tour mode could easily last fifteen to twenty hours. As you play through the tour mode you can win medals, and it's also possible to unlock new gear such as clothes and boards. The multiplayer is still a draw card of the game, but it really is disappointing that more effort wasn't put into a possible online mode. All versions of the game miss out on an online mode though, so it isn't just the PlayStation 2 version that has missed out.
Despite a lower score for SSX On Tour than its predecessor, the game isn't necessarily worse. Rather than making an evolution, this game has actually just taken a side step. Aside from a new visual style and a new main single player mode there isn't that much new in the game, so anyone who mastered SSX3 should be able to pick this game up without any problems and play it right through. It has been two years since SSX3 and logically we expected that the series would have evolved a little more by now. If you were a fan of SSX3 then On Tour is definitely worth playing, but just be warned that it doesn't exactly bring anything new to the table. The SSX series is still the greatest snowboarding series around to this day, though.

NPR listed Black Twig Pickers' Rough Carpenters as one of its most-anticipated releases for 2013, which is a pretty good way to start a year. But the Appalachian old-time band, whose members come from Virginia and West Virginia, has also been keeping busy touring in and out of the U.S., as well as playing and calling dances, together and as solo artists. Black Twig Pickers play a free show at Jack of the Wood on Tuesday, May 21. 9 p.m. http://www.jackofthewood.com. Photo by Random Found Objects Photography

It's the first meeting between these two division rivals since the A's swept them to rise to their improbable 2012 AL West Crown. After having literally nothing go right since New York, it's back home for the A's for three games against Texas, and three more against the upstart Kansas City Royals after them. Who said baseball was an easy game?
The good part about this series is that both Coco Crisp and Chris Young could return for the last game of the series, and Brett Anderson could return to start Friday against KCR. That should hopefully go a long way to ending the A's current funk in basically all aspects of the game. Ideally, the A's would take two of three and begin the KC series at .500. Without facing Yu Darvish, it shouldn't be a huge uphill climb.
The pitchers tonight are Justin Grimm, the reigning AL Rookie of the Month for April, and A.J. Griffin, the reigning Best Hair among AL Starting Pitchers winner for forever. Here are the lineups:
Baseballgirl will be hosting this thread in about an hour or so, and will recap the game. Play nice until there is adult supervision.

How To: Clean Your Makeup Brushes
8 comments:
- AnonymousWednesday, November 07, 2012
OMG NO NO NO!!! Do not EVER soak your brushes that deep in a liquid, soap and whatever else your using will get into the ferrel (the part that holds the bristles to the brush) and dissolve the glue!! Please! Soak them in no more than 1/2 inch! Same results just protecting your expensive brushes!!! Please add this to your blog because I'd hate for someone to get mad because this ruined their brushes!
ReplyDeleteRepliesYikes! I've always cleaned my brushes this way and have never had any problems - this is just a tutorial from my own personal experience. But thank you for sharing your experience!
DeleteI thought of that too (that wetting brushes in that area can ruin the glue/brush). I saw that in a book by Carmindy or Bobbi Brown, can't remember which book or which artist, both may have something about it in their book(s).
DeleteYou can not rule out any possibility that the brush will ruin while soaking. However, It depends on the quality of the brush. While wearing accrylic nails, do you soak your hand in water while bathing? When cleaning a paint brush, do you soak it? Are False eyelashes allowed to get wet? The answer is YES! All of these products are applied with glue, but like most tools, these items will need to be replaced over time. So Soak away...... :)

Banning Natural Gas Exports: Economic Illiteracy in the Extreme
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

By Donald J. Boudreaux
Researchers at the Energy Department recently released a comprehensive economic analysis, finding that the United States can reap massive economic benefits from allowing the export of natural gas. Will the Obama administration go for the gold -- or continue yielding to anti-export hysteria?
In recent years, the nation has seen astonishing technological innovation in the natural-gas sector. Companies have discovered vast, gas-rich shale deposits under US soil. And they've developed new, high-tech means of extraction. The estimated reserves of recoverable domestic gas are now over 2.2 trillion cubic feet.
The expansion in supply has already brought a dramatic drop in natural-gas prices, now at a 10-year low. Other countries, mostly in Asia, are eager to buy some of America's low-cost gas. So 17 US energy companies have applied to export gas. And two proposals for new gas-export terminals -- at Coos Bay and the Port of Astoria, both in Oregon - now await federal approval.
But these efforts have met with concerted and growing opposition. The chief complaint is that exporting natural gas will shrink domestic supply and drive up prices paid by American customers. The Energy Department put a hold all the pending applications for natural-gas exports until the now-released study could be completed. But will that clear green light be overruled?
The leader of the anti-export crusade, Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), has introduced two bills to choke off exports. His allies include Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), who is set to be the next chairmen of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and has called for a "timeout" on natural-gas exports. More important, the White House seems to be dragging its feet on this issue.
The administration commissioned the Energy study specifically to answer any final concerns about the economic impact of exports; now it has an indisputable answer that exports will benefit the domestic economy.
Meanwhile, the administration has taken active steps to drag down the export approval process with even more bureaucratic hoops. The Energy Department is scheduled to hold at least two months of "public comment" hearings on the report this year, and has no hard deadline for a concrete regulatory decision after that.
The argument that exporting gas would lead to significantly higher energy prices at home suffers two notable flaws.
First, it's overstated. Charles Ebinger, director of the Brookings Energy Security Initiative, recently released a study showing that allowing natural-gas exports would have a "very minimal" impact on domestic prices. The consulting firm Deloitte projects that allowing exports would cause a 20-year price increase of just 1.7 percent.
This isn't surprising. With their market spanning the globe rather than merely the United States, American producers would build larger-scale and more efficient production facilities, as well as invest more in exploration and cutting-edge research. These "supply-side" effects would push gas prices downward.
On the other hand, if Uncle Sam obstructs exports, entrepreneurs would be less likely to take the risk of starting new projects, given that regulators have demonstrated an eagerness to step in and suppress profits available in foreign markets.
Cheniere Energy was one of the last natural-gas companies to get export approval before the regulatory hold; it's now building a massive new liquefaction facility in Sabine Pass, La. (Natural gas is liquefied for export.) This operation is expected to create between 30,000 and 50,000 new jobs - all positions that wouldn't exist if Cheniere had been banned from exporting.
The argument against natural-gas exports is also economically backward. A nation prospers through international trade precisely by exporting those goods and services that it can produce at relatively low cost.
Indeed, the Energy Department report found that gas exports benefit the economy despite higher domestic prices - in part because they also mean a corresponding fall in the prices that Americans pay for other goods and services that we import. That is, lucrative exports allow our nation to import more of those goods and services that can be produced at home only at relatively high costs.
The anti-natural-gas-export movement is dangerously misguided; let us hope the Obama administration realizes that fact - and soon.

Clinic puts surfing within reach
Written by SHAUN SMITH Wednesday, July 18, 2012 02:14 pm
VENTNOR – Local surfers welcomed many new brothers and sisters to their family Tuesday and shared the wonderful feeling of catching a wave for the first time. Volunteers from AmpSurf, a California-based organization dedicated to teaching the joy of surfing to amputees, veterans and disabled people, joined local volunteers on Avolyn Avenue beach in Ventnor Tuesday, July 17 to host participants from throughout the state.
Among the four participants was Jack Wallace, 14, of Franklin Lakes in Bergen County, who was attending his second AmpSurf event. Wallace lost his right leg in a boating accident in 2008 and learned how to surf balancing on one leg at an AmpSurf event in Maine last year. Tuesday was his first time surfing using his prosthesis.
"I caught two waves and I stood up on both," said Wallace. "It's easier than I thought."
He said it was a great program that helped him get back on a surfboard.
"I think they accomplished their goal – I'm surfing, and I'm sure hundreds of other people have learned how to surf from them."
Traveling across the country leading volunteer surfers is AmpSurf founder Dana Cummings of Pismo Beach, Calif., who began the program 10 years ago after losing his leg in an automobile accident. The Maine native and U.S. Marine Corps veteran of Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield said veterans have accounted for 70 percent of participants over the years. Cummings said ages have ranged from 4 years old to an 89-year-old veteran of World War II.
"I didn't know how to surf before losing my leg," Cummings said. "The Hawaiians call this the sport of kings. When you catch your first wave, you can't help but feel like a king or queen. You feel like you're on top of the world."
Former U.S. Army Sgt. Heriberto Vidro of Sayreville and his dog Houdini were having a blast in the water for their first time surfing.
He spoke highly of the program.
"I do a lot of adaptive sports, but never surfing. This is a workout and it gets us out there," Vidro said. "It's something new to learn and it gets them out of the house and in the community."
Vidro suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder following a brain injury while serving in Iraq.
Vidro and Houdini have been ice skating, skiing, kayaking and fishing together. Next, Vidro said, is white water rafting.
"I just need to get him a life jacket," he said.
John Crane of Anaheim, Calif., has been volunteering with AmpSurf for three years. Born without a right arm, Crane taught himself how to surf when he was a kid and uses a webbed glove on his left hand while catching waves.
"I keep all the rights (gloves) from the pairs so if someone has their right arm, I'll give them to them," said Crane.
He said all of the AmpSurf events have been rewarding, especially when he can be paired up with an armless surfer so he can share some of his tricks like using his forearm to push up off the board.
Prior to Ventnor, AmpSurf held an event Sunday at Rockaway Beach, New York. The volunteers will travel to Virginia Beach, Va., Wrightsville Beach, N.C., and will conclude the trip in St. Augustine, Fla., this weekend.
In addition to AmpSurf volunteers and participants, local surfers and community members pulled together to make it a memorable event; one that organizers said they are hoping to repeat next year.
Mayor Mike Bagnell was on the beach early Tuesday morning helping set up for the event and was busy helping out the organizers for most of the day.
Bobby Acosta of Ventnor contacted local musicians to provide entertainment including John Higbee and the Boys from Atlantic City, the Outer Limits Ensemble and Big Whiskey.
"I've got to give it to the people who did come out. Learning to surf is not an easy thing to do and they did a great job," said Commissioner Frank Sarno.
Senior Vice Cmdr. Bob McNulty of Egg Harbor Township was on the beach representing VFW Post 3361 in Ventnor and having some fun while doing it. The post also pitched in by finding accommodations for the volunteers.
"It's fantastic. These people continue to serve their nation by helping out others," McNulty said. "We're just trying to give them a little Ventnor hospitality. Life at the shore is pretty great this time of year."
Amateur surfer Cassidy McClain, 17, of Ventnor is known for tearing up the waves at coasts around the world, but Tuesday she was shooting video and helping wherever she was needed.
"I think it's really great for them to do it. It must be really challenging, but it's awesome they are getting out there," McClain said.
Pamela Smejkal of Manchester Township stood up on her first wave Tuesday.
"It felt so surreal," Smejkal said as she walked out of the water. "I thought, 'Am I going to fall?' And then I thought, 'Just keep looking up, you're not going to fall.'"
Annette Reder of Cayucos, Calif., was right behind her, cheering her along. She, like the other volunteers, was focusing on the participants' abilities and said it was a great feeling to show them what they can do.
"Sometimes I think about who is most blessed, and it's me," said Reder. "I love to see the stoke – to see the smile, to show them you can do this. And they will say, 'I can.'"
