The Top 10 Controversial Claims About Natural Gas Drilling Members of Congress, gas companies, news organization, drilling opponents: They've all made bold claims about hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and the U.S. supply of underground natural gas. We take on 10 controversial quotes about natural gas and set the record straight.

But the expected boom never happenedthere's not enough gas in the watershed to make drilling worthwhile. "No one has to get excited about contaminated New York City drinking water," Penn State's Engelder told the Times Herald-Record of Middletown, N.Y., in April. The shale is so close to the surface that it's not concentrated in large enough quantities to make recovering it economically feasible. But just to the west, natural gas development is dramatically changing the landscape. Drilling rigs are running around the clock in western Pennsylvania. Though buoyed by the economic windfall, residents fear that regulators can't keep up with the pace of development. "It's going to be hard to freeze-frame and say, 'Let's slow down,'?" Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr., D-Pa., said last fall. "That makes it more difficult for folks like us, who say we want to create the jobs and opportunity in the new industry, but we don't want to do it at the expense of water quality and quality of life."

Allen Park � There were plenty of signs the Lions had more than just casual or exploratory interest in Jim Caldwell as their next head coach.
He was the first person they interviewed for their head-coaching vacancy. Attending that interview, along with president Tom Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew, were vice chairman Bill Ford and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
It was the only one of the four head-coaching interviews Ford and Stafford sat in on.
Also telling was Ford reached out to former NFL coach Tony Dungy on Monday morning to hear his full endorsement of Caldwell, even as Ford had a private jet waiting to fly to San Diego to pick up Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, who ended up filling the Titans� head coach vacancy.
So while the debate will continue whether he was their Plan A or Plan B, Caldwell on Tuesday was hired as the 26th head coach and first African-American head coach in Lions� history. He will replace Jim Schwartz, who was fired Dec. 30 following a season in which the Lions lost six of their last seven games.
�I would see Bill at league meetings and things over the years, but we didn�t really have a great, deep relationship,� Dungy, who is from Jackson, told The Detroit News on Tuesday. �But I think he knows I�m a Lions fan and I wouldn�t steer him wrong. He knew I would be honest with him.
�And I just told him, I had spoken to Martin Mayhew before and hearing what they were looking for, I felt Jim Caldwell fit the bill. I think he�s going to be great and this is going to turn out real well for the Lions.�
Caldwell, who turns 59 on Thursday, won a Super Bowl ring as a member of Dungy�s Indianapolis staff, then took the team to the Super Bowl in his first season as head coach of the Colts. He was the offensive coordinator and called the plays during Baltimore�s Super Bowl run last year.
�On behalf on my entire family, I want to express how thrilled we are with the appointment of Jim Caldwell as our new head coach,� Lions owner and chairman William Clay Ford said in a statement. �We believe Jim is the right man to lead our team and deliver a championship to our fans.
�I also want to commend Tom and Martin on the thoroughness of the coaching search. We had a very specific plan and profile for our next head coach, and I am convinced that we found that man in Jim Caldwell.�
Caldwell, Whisenhunt, former Titans coach Mike Munchak and former Texans coach Gary Kubiak interviewed for the job. By Sunday night, it was clear Whisenhunt and Caldwell were the top two choices.
�For what they need, Jim is perfect,� Dungy said. �Jim has had success developing quarterbacks and passing offenses. He is very, very good with quarterbacks, and I think he�s going to be very good for Matthew Stafford. He has leadership qualities and he knows how to bring a team together.
�You are going to see a difference on the scoreboard.�
Caldwell worked with Kerry Collins at Penn State. He worked with Brad Johnson in Tampa. And most recently, and most famously, he worked with Peyton Manning with the Colts and Joe Flacco with the Ravens.
Undoubtedly, his work with those quarterbacks resonated with the Lions� brain trust, as did the comprehensive plan he proposed for Stafford, which Caldwell presented at the interview.
Caldwell reportedly charted every pass Stafford threw last season. Then, he watched film with Stafford while he was at the practice facility. He not only offered a diagnosis of what he thought Stafford�s faults were, he showed him how he could improve.
John Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which promotes minority hiring in the NFL, has known Caldwell since the late 1970s. He has also known Mayhew for decades and was in his ear telling him about Stafford before the 2009 draft.
�I was very much talking to Martin and those guys when Stafford was coming out of Georgia, that this was the guy for them � no question,� Wooten told The News last week. �Now what he needs is Jim Caldwell. He needs the calmness of the head guy being able to whisper in his ear during the games what he wants to accomplish. He has a tendency to be a gunslinger, and the only gunslinger I can remember excelling was Brett Favre.�
Stafford�s play has been in decline the last two seasons, which is why the Lions narrowed their head-coaching search to offensive-oriented candidates.
Caldwell was 26-22 as a head coach in Indianapolis. He was fired after a 2-14 season in 2011, the year Manning missed with a neck injury.
�Jim is going to come in and very quickly tell the guys what he expects,� Dungy said. �And he expects a high level of play and a high level of carrying yourself on and off the field and doing your job. That�s what he�s been all about.�
Mayhew made it clear on the day he fired Schwartz he was not only looking for somebody to take Stafford to the next level but also to take the team to the next level.
�You go back to the last two seasons, for example,� Mayhew said. �We got off to a below-average start, I believe, in 2012. We fought our way back to 4-4, and we lost the last eight games. We weren�t able to make that play, to get over that hump, to find a way to win some of those games down the stretch.
�Then we get into this season and we�re 6-3 and we win one of our last seven games. It�s the same situation: We were a play away. We have to find somebody that can bring that belief that we�re going to get over the hump.�
Whisenhunt, who took the Cardinals to the Super Bowl in 2008, appeared to be the guy the Lions initially targeted. But Whisenhunt took the Titans job instead. During his introductory news conference Tuesday, Whisenhunt said the Nashville area �was very special to me and that had a pull� on his decision. He also said he felt a strong sense of chemistry with the general manager and ownership.
Neither the Lions nor Caldwell are going to worry about what might have been.
A similar fate befell the Baltimore Ravens in 2008. Looking to replace Brian Billick, they first offered the job to Jason Garrett. When Garrett turned it down, they �settled� for the relatively inexperienced John Harbaugh, who led the team to a Super Bowl title last year.
�This team (the Lions) is loaded with talent both offensively and defensively,� former Colts center Jeff Saturday said on �SportsCenter� Tuesday. �Like you said, they do lack discipline. A number of games they cost themselves with silly penalties or silly mistakes. Jim Caldwell will bring discipline, he�ll bring consistency and a stability to this organization.
�He�ll sit down with guys. He�ll put a plan in place that he knows can be effective and knows it will win games. Those things, with the accountability and the discipline, are what he brings to the table. This is a perfect fit for the Lions and a good hire by those guys.�
Saturday also said Caldwell won�t be afraid to criticize and get after even the star players. He saw him do it with Manning.
�Listen, every player has to be coached and Peyton Manning wants to be coached and always wanted to be coached,� Saturday said. �He wants a guy who�s committed to the organization and the team as he is, that was Jim Caldwell for him. He�s not afraid to correct or to talk about here�s a mistake you made. That�s what Caldwell brought to us.
�He has a great offensive mind, he knows how to work with quarterbacks to get the most out of them. He did it with (Joe) Flacco, he did it with Manning and he�ll do it with (Matthew) Stafford in Detroit.��
The Lions will formally introduce Caldwell as their new head coach at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
As for his staff, Caldwell is expected to name Teryl Austin as his defensive coordinator. Austin, a former Michigan assistant, has been with Caldwell at Penn State, Wake Forest and Baltimore.
As for the offensive coordinator, several names have been bandied about, most prominently Eagles quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor, Indianapolis quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen and Kansas City assistant head coach David Culley.
Also, there were reports Tuesday (Ravens Insider and others) that former Rutgers offensive coordinator Ron Prince would join Caldwell�s staff, either as offensive coordinator or assistant head coach.

Big ass earthquake hits Christchurch New ZealandI was really sad to hear this afternoon that the New Zealand city of Christchurch was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake today. Last month my mom took a super-epic roadtrip around both of New Zealand's islands and loved it. She said the coffee there sucked but otherwise, two thumbs up. (I totally stole the picture of this adorable kiwi bird from her Facebook, thanks ma!) Check out MSNBC's photoblog of the devastation. Public Comments |

Washing Tips
Pre-Treat Your New Fabrics!
It is very important to treat/ wash your new fabrics exactly as you plan to treat/wash them after the garment or home décor item is made. Even dry cleaning can produce some shrinkage. We recommend you test a 4" x 4" square of your new fabric if you are at all unsure how it will react to your chosen laundering method. If you always test the same sized square, you will be able to check the percentage of shrinkage.

Both the site civils and pipeline trenching, jointing, installation and reinstatement have been awarded to Cameroon civils contractors. |
Victoria Oil and Gas, through its wholly owned subsidiary company, Rodeo Development Limited, has an interest in and operates the Logbaba Gas and Condensate Field onshore Cameroon. Further to the Exploitation Licence awarded on the 29/4/11, the company commenced continuous gas and condensate production operations in July 2012.
The Logbaba Gas Field was discovered in 1955 by a French governmental entity, SEREPCA, which was later acquired by ELF. The discovery well, La-101 tested gas in sands of the Late Cretaceous Logbaba Formation. SEREPCA drilled three more wells on the Logbaba Gas Field between 1955 and 1957, La-102, -103, and -104. La-102 and -103 were tested, but La-104 was not tested in spite of the fact that it encountered a number of gas sands as the well was obstructed by a toolstring and drill pipe lost in the hole. SEREPCA was looking for oil and after encountering gas in LA-104 it did not drill anymore appraisal wells in Logbaba. The field was not developed because there was no market for the gas at the time. In 1999 the original four Logbaba wells were permanently abandoned by Total (which had inherited the Logbaba concession when it merged with ELF), after which it relinquished the license. |
In 2009 and 2010, Rodeo Development Limited drilled and completed two wells, La-105 and La-106. La-105 twinned the SEREPCA La-103 well, La-106 was a stepout well drilled into an unappraised part of Logbaba about 500 m north-east of the La-104 well location. Both of the new wells were drilled directionally from a drilling pad located over the centre of the field to minimise the environmental and social impacts of drilling in a populated area. La-105 tested at flow rates of up to 55 mmscf/d while La-106 tested at flow rates of up to 22 mmscf/d from the Logbaba formation. Both wells have been completed with 4½" tubing. As the wells are produced and the open producing intervals become depleted, additional, shallower sands will be opened with perforating guns run on wireline.
On the basis of these appraisal/development wells, Rodeo Development Limited submitted a Discovery Report to SNH in May 2010, updated the gas reserves estimate, and prepared and submitted a Field Development and Production Plan to the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Technology in July 2010. The Company formally applied for an Exploitation Licence which was received in April 2011. Please refer to Table 1 for the updated reserves position completed in September 2012.
Table 1: Logbaba Reserves, 100% Basis (Bcf)
Logbaba Gas Reserves (BcF) | September 2012 | September 2013 |
Upper Logbaba Proved Reserves (1P) | 49 | 49 |

Prospective Resources | 1000 | 1350 |
ERC Equipoise Limited has independently concluded a 50% increase in 1P Reserves and 1C Contingent Resource gas volumes with 1P of 39.1 billion cubic feet ("bcf"), plus 1C of 32.7 bcf. This independent CPR was announced in October in relation to a senior secured debt financing the Company is progressing.
An early production facility consisting of two 20 MMscf/d production units will perform the pressure let-down of the gas from well conditions to the sales gas pipeline inlet while dew-pointing the gas, stabilising the condensate produced and separating out any water produced. The facility is being leased from the EXPRO Group following a competitive tender. (see chart 1)
Chart 1: Expro Group Production facilities
Victoria Oil and Gas has developed a local market for gas with customers including breweries, metal foundries, food processing plants and packaging facilities. Gas Sales Contracts have been signed throughout 2010-2013 with numerous industrial firms including some multinational firms. Victoria anticipates daily sales volumes reaching 12 mmscf/d by December 2013 with an estimate of total gas demand to in excess of 100 mmscf/d within 5 years.
The initial target markets for Logbaba natural gas are industrial customers in Douala and Bonaberi for:
In the longer term as further reserves are proven, gas may be also supplied to a large gas fired power station with either RDL investing in an Independent Power Producer Joint Venture or selling the gas to a third party.
Existing gas discoveries have been unsuitable for commercial production of LPG. However, given the potential demand, in the event of discovery of a gas more rich in LPG within the licence area, this would create the opportunity to invest in bottling facilities for supply of LPG to the local market.
A low-pressure High Density Polyethylene sales gas pipeline network is being installed in four phases to supply customers in Central Douala, South East Douala and South West Douala. The gas is priced at $16 per MMbtu (approximately $16/mcf or $96 per boe) and has a high heating value of 1060 btu/scf. (see Chart 2)
Chart 2: Phased Pipeline Development Plan (does not include Bonaberri)
The total gas distribution network will be approximately 44 km in length comprising pipe diameters between 400mm, and 63 mm with a design pressure of 7 barg and a normal operating pressure of 5.5 barg. The gas distribution network is being constructed in unpaved ground, black top highway and land adjacent to the Douala rail network. Horizontal boring wells, where required, are planned to avoid disruption to trains, traffic and other utilities such as buried electricity cables, fiber optic cables, water and drains. The custody transfer point will be immediately downstream of a Pressure Reduction, Metering and further Condensate Removal facility located within the customer's premises with a pressure range 200 – 500 mbarg. |
In July 2012, the Company announced the commencement of continuous gas and condensate production operations at Logbaba. The Company's first three customers were taking delivery of gas in sufficient volume to allow the production facilities to operate 24 hours a day, delivering gas in full compliance with specification. These customers had a combined average daily demand of approximately 0.7 mmscf/d.
In December 2012, the Company reached a production levels of 2.4 mmscf/d. The planned exit rate for the year-end 2013 is 12 mmscf/d from both thermal and on-site gas fired power sales.
There are a number of significant direct and indirect benefits that will be delivered by the Logbaba Gas Field development.
These include:
In order to bring the project to its current state of readiness, we have worked with a large number of Ministries, Regional and Local Government, other state institutions and utilities in Douala. The support and immediate engagement of these organisations and particular individuals who have championed this project have helped us to achieve an ambitious schedule to date. We have also appreciated the full cooperation of the local community during the drilling and testing phases. We would like to thank our Cameroon partners SNH and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Technology (MINIMIDT) for their support along the way and the other institutions and individuals directly and indirectly involved in the project. |

device composed of natural or synthetic fibres set into a handle that is used for cleaning, grooming, polishing, writing, or painting. Brushes were used by man as early as the Paleolithic Period (began about 2,500,000 years ago) to apply pigment, as shown by the cave paintings of Altamira in Spain and the Perigord in France. In historical times the early Egyptians used brushes to create their elaborate tomb paintings, while the ancient Chinese employed the tip of a long-haired brush to make the many intricate characters of their writing, a practice continued in the Orient today.

Are Markets Dumb?
One way to think of EMH is that the market prices in all known information. So then the task of beating the market, for those interested in beating the market, becomes trying to figure out what the market does not know.
Based on what we have seen over the last decade or so it seems like maybe the markets know very little. My thoughts have been the same for a while. I do believe that markets price most things correctly most of the time and does provide various types of warnings but things change and the market does get some things wrong, more correctly perhaps it fails to anticipate things.
Markets go through cycles and changes in cycles are often marked by similar things. Additionally the fortunes of companies change. Some company we are not familiar with (maybe it doesn't even exist yet) will come up with a drug that will cure some previously incurable malady and make a lot of money doing so. Along its way it will have various tests and milestones to work through and maybe competitors to beat to the market but it will happen and some folks will successfully navigate all of that in owning the stock.
Another way to view EMH is that it believes markets are rational. Well do you believe in that enough to let your financial future ride on it? The market is made up of its participants which are people and people are from from rational. If markets rationality could be relied upon then I don't think Pets.com and Webvan would have ever IPO'd, the Nasdaq would not have gone above 3000 ten years ago and Johnson Control would not have dropped 75% a year ago.
Additionally, at some point some well regarded mega cap company will do something, like make a huge and peculiarly timed acquisition ala BAC buying MER, that will impair its future prospects for some lengthy period of time and some folks will see that for what it is and get out in a timely fashion.
The notion that no one can pick good stocks or avoid bad ones implies that no one can do analysis which seems like an odd conclusion to draw. This is not to say analysis is easy or that anyone who does analyze companies will always be correct but fundamental attributes change and these changes often influence prices and some of these changes can be observed and navigating them is not impossible.
Looking at the country level from the top down it is simple work to get the statistics for a place in terms of debt levels and GDP and get a sense for what makes the country tick. It is also easy however to view a country as being healthy but draw the wrong conclusion about stock prices in the short term but as we look at the world now countries with low debt and good growth prospects are a likely to treat your money well over the long term regardless of what the market "knows."
A final point here is that a theory that relies on the type assumptions that EMH relies on is a tricky business. Assumptions about efficiency and rational behavior strikes me as a huge leap of faith and while there are people who are clearly comfortable relying on this with their money it is not what I will bet my financial future on.

Jeff it has been many years now since I first bought VALE. One bit of continuous thread to this is picking countries with different fundamental characteristics than my home market, the US. Commodity based becomes the easiest to pick in that regard.

Just returned from travel and no time for much comment (hold applause please [lol]) but I second Mark Thoma's blog as a resource: He's a heterdox economist who consistently writes clearly at a high level, honestly examines alternative viewpoints and polices links well including the critique of EMH's weak form that Roger refers to.
WRT country analysis, even if the information may be suspect for one reason or another, central banks are an important source of fundamental country data for any investor and their commentary offers insight into elites' thinking. For example the latest commentary from the SF Fed at http://tinyurl.com/yju5lst wouldn't make a value investor very happy, might slightly trouble a liquidity investor's longer-term view but wouldn't disturb a momentum investor's assessment of short to intermediate trend much at all.
Which brings up the final point that the investor's conceptual framework does matter, a lot: Develop some clarity there and it will do wonders elsewhere as long as it doesn't become too rigid (EMH was a great framework for model building but its equilibrium stance and inability to account for exogenous shock rendered it helpless in the face of a black swan-style event). - 10:37 AM

- RW said...
I never pay attention to what people claim I said because it is rarely accurate and not infrequently rephrased as a straw man to help the claimant feel more secure.
Show me the link and I'll respond to what I actually said but as a prelude (since I tend to be logically consistent) it was probably something on the order of pointing out that a concept such as "jobless recovery" was deeply flawed (I may have said idiotic) as an economic model -- business cycle theory and cyclic recoveries are fundamentally grounded in closing the output gap and increasing employment rates -- and was also frankly objectionable as a public policy model.
The conclusion being there was no foundation to the market other than liquidity and any long-term value investing strategy would absolutely mandate continued hedges. Tactical approaches, which I do use because I generally follow the permanent v. variable portfolio model, should be favored to add alpha instead.
Shorter version: The term "jobless recovery" fits on a bumper sticker and is widely reported but it is a description, not a variable, so it is irrelevant to my models which fully account for the long-term impact of degrading jobs market (hint: it's really, really bad). - 11:24 AM

It may look like of a replica of a rare Star Wars spaceship, but the CME Xcorpio A interface is not a toy, unless you're one of those musicians who refers to all their gear as toys. In reality, it's a hi-speed USB 2.0-compliant computer audio interface with two high quality XLR analog inputs, two RCA monitor outputs, and a headphone output. Supporting a wide range of sample rates (32k, 441.k, 48k, 96KHz), it gives you 24-bit/96KHz AD/DA conversion as well as a 480Mbps transfer rate. A direct monitor switcher allows for professional pre/post zero-latency monitoring while an LED indicator helps you keep track of I/O overload.
The solidly designed Xcorpio's XLR cables come preattached, eliminating the need for extra cables. Simply plug in your mics, connect the included USB cable to the Xcorpio and your Windows XP computer or laptop, and you've got instant plug-and-play recording anytime, anywhere.
When you're tired of toying around, and are ready to do some serious recording, think of the Xcorpio A.

Said Yes to this Dress
I tried on several dresses and thought I had found the one. It was full of beads and sparkle and I loved it. I still had one more to try on which was this one. I was sure I was going to go back the the one with all of the bling. But, once I put it on, it was just so simple but elegant and fit me so well! It was by far the most flattering. It actually made me feel so pretty. It still has the beading on it that I love but the chiffon is just so light and elegant looking. I said yes to this dress! :)

So Simple, So Beautiful!
This dress is truly amazing. I went into David's Bridal thinking there was no way I was going to walk out of there with a strapless dress. I tried on about 5 dresses before this one, and non of them felt quite right. After trying this one on, I tried one more, and then put this one back on. I walked out of the dressing room, and everyone was smiling ear to ear including me! We knew this was the one. I love the rouching and simplicity of the bead work. It is a simple yet beautiful dress that highlights the bride, and doesn't overpower her. I am so happy that I have finally found my perfect dress!

THE Dress
This was the 3rd dress I tried on out of 4. The first one was not me, the 2nd was gorgeous but didn't feel completely right and this one was so perfect for me! It flows and moves with me, doesn't feel stiff and I can breathe in it! It's not heavy and is simple yet elegant with beautiful beading and ruching - I don't want to take it off! It even has an adorable matching flower girl dress I know my niece will look beautiful in. I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces, especially my groom's!
