Tiffany Foster and Daniel Deusser Share Victory in $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m at FTI WEF
RELEASE: March 26, 2014
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: Lauren Fisher for Jennifer Wood Media, Inc.
Tiffany Foster and Melody des Hayettes Z (Sportfot)
Wellington, Fla.
- he final week of competition at the 2014 FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival (FTI WEF) kicked off on Wednesday with a dual victory for Canada's Tiffany Foster and Germany's Daniel Deusser in the $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m speed class. Due the large number of entries, the class was held in a 'California Split', and awarded two sets of placings with $34,000 for each section. Foster and Artisan Farms LLC's Melody des Hayettes Z topped Section A and Deusser and Stephex Stables' Domingo were the winners of Section B.
FTI WEF week twelve, sponsored by FTI Consulting, runs March 26-30, 2014. Thursday's competition will feature the $10,000 Gut Einhaus 5-Year-Old Young Jumper Classic, the $34,000 G&C Farm 1.45m, and the $50,000 Ruby et Violette WEF Challenge Cup Round 12. Friday will host the $15,000 Adequan 6-Year-Old and $20,000 Adequan 7 and 8-Year-Old Young Jumper Classics. The $100,000 Suncast® 1.50m Championship Jumper Classic Final and $500,000 FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix CSI 5* will be held on Saturday along with round one of the $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby, which concludes on the derby field on Sunday.
Anthony D'Ambrosio (USA) is the course designer in the International Arena for week twelve. In Wednesday's $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m, D'Ambrosio saw 97 entries over his speed track with 31 clear rounds. Tiffany Foster completed the fastest clear round in 61.01 seconds overall for the win in Section A of the class riding Melody des Hayettes Z. Daniel Deusser finished in 61.41 seconds with Domingo for the win in Section B.
With the split class, the top three finishers in Section A were Foster and Melody des Hayettes Z, followed by Reed Kessler (USA) and Kessler Show Stables' Soraya de l'Obstination in 63.23 seconds, and Darragh Kenny (IRL) with Eva Castegren's Alpha VDL in 63.52 seconds.
In Section B, Deusser and Domingo led the way over David Will (GER) and Eveline Kraus's Black Jack 163 in 63.25 seconds, followed by Eiken Sato (JPN) with Stephex Stables' Q Royal Palm Z in 63.55 seconds.
Foster has had Melody des Hayettes Z since July of last summer and explained that she has had a great partnership with the mare this winter. "She is really good, and she has been really consistent here," Foster stated. "She has had a lot of really good placings and top three finishes, but she hasn't won a class yet, so I was really happy that she won today because she deserves it."
Before her round, Foster made a good plan with trainer Eric Lamaze and executed everything perfectly. "Eric gave me some really good advice before going in," she noted. "He said that the most important thing was to go really fast from jumps one to two and to go really fast to the last fence. I kind of started on a really open stride, and I didn't pull the whole time. Everything showed up really well, so it was really easy to go fast today. Everything showed up coming really forward, so it was fast from the beginning to the end."
Foster plans to show Melody again in the $34,000 G&C Farm 1.45m on Thursday and then the $100,000 Suncast® 1.50m Championship Jumper Classic Final. "She is really amazing," the rider praised. "She is actually pretty straight-forward and she is a really cool horse because she is able to go in these speed classes and go full speed, and then she has been clear in every 1.50m class I have jumped her in so far this circuit. That has been after running in the 1.45m classes, so she is really versatile. She never gets hot, never gets flat, she just keeps jumping up. She is a really high quality horse, and I am very lucky to have her. I am really grateful to have Artisan Farms as owners to have such amazing horses. I have had such a fun circuit with them."
With the win in Section B, Daniel Deusser has added to his experience in the winners circle with his mount, Domingo, but until Wednesday, a win had eluded that pair in Wellington.
"He has jumped now three shows here, and this is the first class that he has won here," Deusser pointed out. "He has won a lot of classes. The 1.45m speed classes are definitely his level, but I have to say, I tried already a few times here and I was not fast enough compared to a lot of these horses and riders. There are a lot of riders here and a lot of people who tried. So far I was a little bit unlucky, but not today. He tried again, and it was just good enough."
Where Foster explained that she got her speed from fence one to two, Deusser noted that that was probably where he lost it. "In that course, there were a lot of long ways between the jumps, so you had to count a lot from the beginning," he explained. "I think to really be the fastest at the end, I missed it a little bit from number one to number two. I did one stride more than a few other ones that I saw. For the rest, I thought I had a pretty good round and he had the same ideas as me, so I was quite happy with my course."
"He is a little special," Deusser described of Domingo. "He has been going to the shows every few weeks since I have been here for two years now, and still every time he goes in the ring, he is a little bit spooky. Especially in the first few weeks here, around the fences on the wings and the flowers on the ground, he was quite spooky, but to be honest, today was the first time that he didn't give me that impression. He really concentrated on the jumps and tried to do a good job."
Domingo shows again in Thursday's 1.45m and then he is done for the winter in Florida. Deusser then looks forward to Saturday night's $500,000 FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix CSI 5* with Cornet d'Amour, who jumped a clear warm-up round with time faults in Wednesday's class.
"He has jumped a few big classes good already," Deusser noted. "Three weeks ago he was second in the WEF (Challenge Cup) and fifth in the grand prix. I just rode him in the 1.45m and he gave me a good impression, so I hope we are ready for Saturday night."

In Syria, fighting continued this week despite calls from the United Nations for a cease-fire during Ramadan. The UN and other international aid groups say civilians in Syria are facing extremely severe shortages of food, water and medicine.
- Sarah
Ramadan is the time of reflection, of peace, of getting closer to G-d and people. In some ways it reminds me of the Jewish High Holidays. Why do so many radicals use it as a time to bring more conflict into they world. A true Muslim would not use Ramadan this way.
- Kimberlee
There is, however, precedent. I believe Muhammad himself fought the battle of Badr during Ramadan.

Women in Shura Council is a step in right direction
It will open the door for thousands of professionals and qualified Saudi women to be a part of nation-building
Saudi Arabia's recent decision of appointing women in the consultative council is an important step for the country. Not only will such a decision include a key section of the society in the decision-making process, but it will also pave the way for further inclusiveness of women in the development process of the nation. King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz last week appointed 30 women to the Shura (consultative) Council — a first in the history of the country. One fifth of the council's seats have been allocated to women, out of a total of 150. King Abdullah has instructed that women's representation should be no less than 20 per cent of the total number of council members. The appointees are established professionals in their respective fields and enjoy equal rights as their male counterparts.
The introduction of women in the Shura Council is a necessary and natural evolution for women's representation in various institutions and entities. Regardless of the fact that the step is a delayed one, it highlights the importance of the inclusion of this segment of the society. The step also opens the door for thousands of professionals and qualified women to take part in nation-building. However, most important of all is the recognition of women as equal partners in the country.

AC - "Crush ft. XV"
"Everyone has a right to their opinions - so WOW has just enough right to post how he feels about a song as Burmy does - However, WOW you are right that this song might not have the flavor that your typical Top-Hits radio station might gear their playlist toward (which seems is the kind of music you tend to like - the Hurricane Chris's, the Yo Gotti's, the Soulja Boi's of the world) - BUT, what the song DOES have is the lyrical ability to tell a story - a story that people can personally relate to - a story that means something...after all, that IS what where the roots of HIP-HOP stemmed from. So, what should be special to you about this song is this type of lyrical poetry led to the blossoming of such artists as the ones you like to endorse. But anyway, the lyrics in this song are fire! And the smooth, relaxing, production is icing on the cake"Jaydee08's Rating: Posted on Jun 01, 2009
XV - "A Girl Named Destiny ft. AC"
"Oh you simple minded people that can't HEAR the true lyrics behind the song...he, along with talking about destiny, connects to hurricane katrina in his first verse...and because he stood up destiny, it saved him from katrina... this is from XV himself: TODAY…I dropped, "A Girl Named Destiny" featuring AC. I talk about a girl we all know named, Destiny, but I stand her up. And it saves my life.\ ————————————————————————— I met this girl named Destiny. I knew that she would be the death of me. Too pretty for her own good, You prolly seen her out in yo' hood. But she caught me, called me, on August 23rd, 3 years ago, but I still remember her words. She said come down south, right now I'm in Alabama. But in a few of days I'm a be in Louisiana. I'm just chillin' out with my Grandma, I miss you though, and your Midwest stammar, so hit the road. No, baby, I gotta finish some beats. Besides, I thought we was goin' to Texas in a week. She said if you don't come we prolly will never meet. And if you stand me up we prolly will never speak. I heard her homegirl Katrina came to look her up. I had a date with destiny, I'm glad I stood her up. ———————————————————————————— So, "destiny" is calling me to come meet her in Louisiana. I stand her up. And Katrina comes. Mind boggling. Get ready for a CRAZY record tonight."Jaydee08's Rating: Posted on Sep 24, 2008

MCX-SX asked to improve governance structure
MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Securities and Board Exchange of India (SEBI) has directed shareholders of the country's new MCX-SX stock exchange to resolve any conflicts of interest within its board and management team as a precondition for renewing the bourse's license.
In an order issued late on Wednesday, the regulator asked the MCX-SX shareholders to reconstitute its board and rejig its top management if necessary to improve governance standards within the stock exchange.
The order from SEBI comes after MCX-SX's affiliated commodity exchange, the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSEL), abruptly suspended trading. NSEL has since struggled to square off outstanding contracts worth over 55 billion rupees.
SEBI did not elaborate on why it had issued the conditional approval. However a source at the regulator said the move was a direct consequence of the NSEL development and was aimed at preventing a similar situation on the stock exchange platform.
The regulator extended the exchange's licence for a period of one year beginning September 16 subject to its conditions being met. (For the SEBI order, see link.reuters.com/fyp92v)
SEBI also directed the exchange to form a committee of independent directors that will be responsible for overseeing financial transactions and management appointment at the bourse.
Financial Technologies (India) Ltd(FITE.NS), which ran NSEL, holds a 26 percent stake in Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd(MCEI.BO). Financial Technologies and Multi Commodity Exchange are the promoters, or founders, of the MCX-SX stock exchange.
MCX-SX, which goes by the tagline "India's new stock exchange," commenced equity trading only earlier this year and sold itself as an alternative to the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The regulator has asked MCX-SX's shareholders to report to SEBI its findings as well as remedial actions within 30 days from the approval.

Coalition partners put a brave face on their battered relationship
Andrew Grice
Andrew Grice has been Political Editor of The Independent since 1998. He was previously Political Editor of The Sunday Times, where he worked for 10 years, and he has been a Westminster-based journalist since 1982. His column, Inside Politics, appears in The Independent each Saturday.
Thursday 15 December 2011
After a torrid few days, Nick Clegg began yesterday among friends. He arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London's Knightsbridge at 7.45am and had time, appropriately, for croissants and coffee as he prepared to address the Business for New Europe group.
Like him, the organisation is for the European Union and against David Cameron's use of the veto at last week's Brussels summit.
It was the start of the Deputy Prime Minister's fightback on Europe as he tried to "pick up the pieces" on two fronts – ending both Britain's isolation in the EU and the bitter public split between Britain's two Coalition parties.
Also present were Liberal Democrat ministers Vince Cable, the Business Secretary; Chris Huhne, the Energy and Climate Change Secretary; Danny Alexander, the Chief Treasury Secretary; and his predecessor, the backbencher David Laws. Tory ministers were conspicuous by their absence.
Despite that, Mr Clegg told the businessmen: "The whole Government is absolutely determined to re-engage with our European partners, to get back on the front foot and to make sure that our vital national economic self-interest in being at the heart of the single market is properly followed through the weeks and months ahead."
Mr Clegg squeezed in meetings with other leading business figures after returning to his office in Whitehall. Several expressed their dismay at Britain's apparent isolation. Mr Clegg encouraged them to make their fears known – both in public and privately to Tory ministers. Predictably, the Liberal Democrat leader was greeted with derision from Labour MPs when he entered the Commons chamber to take his seat for Prime Minister's Questions. He knew it would happen because of his highly unusual "no show" on Monday, when Mr Cameron made a Commons statement on the Brussels summit. Then Mr Clegg was visibly angry, ripping off his lapel microphone at the end of a TV interview explaining his absence. Yesterday he smiled through the taunts.
Fortunately for the PM and his deputy, Ed Miliband's inevitable attack on their split was deflected by a brilliant put-down by Mr Cameron: "It's not like we're brothers or anything."
Mr Clegg congratulated Mr Cameron on what he saw as a strong performance. The PM had rehearsed his knockout blow at two "prepping" sessions for PMQs yesterday morning.
Later, both he and Mr Clegg met senior ministers to discuss the Olympics. After a week of tension, ministers saw it as a welcome chance to get back to normal business. Europe was not on the agenda. Spin doctors from both Coalition parties agreed: "It's time to move on."
Then Mr Cameron returned to the Commons for an end-of-term address to Tory MPs and peers at the weekly meeting of the 1922 Committee.
"Headmaster's study again," he quipped to a line of journalists standing opposite him, jokingly branding them "the execution squad". If he had caved in at the Brussels summit, the execution squad might have been waiting for him inside. Instead, two hardline Eurosceptics, Bernard Jenkin and John Baron, congratulated him and he was given a hero's welcome.

Homebuilder confidence stalls

After eight consecutive months of improvement, confidence among the nation's homebuilders has stalled.
The National Association of Home Builders said its monthly confidence gauge edged lower in March and has dropped several points since January.
"Although many of our members are reporting increased demand for new homes in their markets, their enthusiasm is being tempered by frustrating bottlenecks in the supply chain for developed lots along with rising costs for building materials and labor," said NAHB Chairman Rick Judson.
Tight credit and appraisals coming in below sales prices continue to hamper sales of new homes, the D.C.-based trade group said.

Report: Data breach of Staples, Michaels likely connected
The office supply store Staples and Michaels craft stores were both hit by data breaches in 2014, joining a growing list of companies hit by point of sale malware attacks. It would appear both retailers were hit by identical criminal infrastructure, with the malware targeting debit and credit card data captured on POS machines at checkout. The malware that hit Staples was connecting to the same control networks as the malware that hit Michaels - and it wouldn't be surprising if the same cybercriminal group was behind the incident.
"We are continuing to investigate a data security incident involving an intrusion into some of our retail point of sale and computer systems," said Mark Cautela, Staples spokesman, in a statement to KrebsOnSecurity. "We believe we have eradicated the malware used in the intrusion and have taken steps to further enhance the security of our network."
The volume of data breaches in 2013-2014 indicate these attacks are likely being orchestrated by state-sponsored hackers, and trying to prevent these incidents has proven difficult.
Apple will embed Beats to iOS, coming to iPads and iPhones near you
Apple will pre-load the Beats subscription music service into iOS sometime next year, launching the app on all iPhones and iPads. This is an important effort for Apple, as iTunes song and album downloads are on the decline, and marks the company's first major effort in subscription music.
Apple wants to rely on Beats to put pressure on Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, and other competitors fighting in the online music subscription space. The company acquired Beats for $3 billion and many analysts were unsure what the company would do with the Beats subscription service. However, Apple wants to develop the online music offering to find new revenue to counter dropping iTunes music sales.
Ensuring apps are pre-installed on smartphones and tablets is a good method to reach new potential subscribers - and Beats has an estimated 110,000 subscribers - so there is plenty of room for long-term growth.
Google Android 5.0 Lollipop update frustrating some users
It would appear some Google Android 5.0 Lollipop early adopters are having trouble with their update, with Google Nexus 7 tablets running slowly and crashing. Apps built by Adobe Air are being automatically uninstalled and users cannot reinstall the missing apps - Adobe has escalated the problem with Google, trying to find a solution as quickly as possible.
Google has promoted Android 5.0 as a "quantum leap forward" and demand for the mobile OS has accelerated. However, user problems might have other Android supporters rethinking updating their smartphones and tablets until these problems are resolved.
Google Nexus, LG Electronics, NVIDIA and Motorola have rolled out Android Lollipop updates for their mobile devices, but with apps crashing or freezing, it's possible to hear even more user complaints in the near future. If nothing else, Google is likely working quickly to ensure these problems are fixed as more devices are expected to receive the update.
Scammers take advantage of Walmart, get PlayStation 4 consoles for $90
Walmart is desperate to compete with Amazon, Best Buy, and other rivals ahead of Christmas, and have been getting tricked by a price-matching scam. People are creating fake Amazon selling accounts and listing Sony PlayStation 4 units as low as $50, taking a screenshot of the online price, and taking it to a local Walmart to claim their prize. Other sneaky customers were picking up PS4 bundles for $100, but it looks like Walmart has wised up and has altered its price matching policy.
Previously, Walmart was getting scammed into selling $60 Nintendo Wii U and 3DS bundles, thanks to a mistake on the Sears website. Customers quickly jumped on the erroneous listing, and found that Walmart met the price match even with a wrong price on a rivals website.
"We're committed to providing low prices every day," the Walmart website proudly boasts. "On everything. So if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell us and we'll match it. Right at the register."
Electronic Arts says Microsoft is catching up to Sony in console war
Electronic Arts and other game studios are enjoying an increasingly competitive game console market - and while the Sony PlayStation 4 has dominated the sales charts, the Microsoft Xbox One certainly has time to catch up. Microsoft has cut the price of the Xbox One and has seen a steady increase in console sales, showing the company has plenty of fight left.
As of late October, there have been more than 13.5 million PS4 units shipped, while Xbox One has shipped 10 million units. Both companies are preparing for what should be a slugfest in the 2014 Christmas holiday shopping season, with great deals expected on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
"Clearly Sony has jumped out to a lead with a great console and I think a great strategy," said Blake Jorgensen, Electronic Arts CFO, but admitted "Microsoft is catching up quickly."
Starbucks wireless charging technology hitting SF Bay Area locations
Powermat wireless charging stations will be introduced into 200 San Francisco Bay Area Starbucks locations, as the company plans to launch nationwide rollout before heading to Europe and Asia within 12 months. The chargers will be built directly into tables and bars inside of Starbucks, and the popular coffee chain hopes to win over patrons with the wireless charging offering.
It was announced earlier this year that Starbucks was testing the wireless charging stations in the Bay Area, but trying to find them in-store proved difficult for many guests. The Power Matter Alliance produces the Powermat technology, and is supported by Starbucks, Google and AT&T.
"The availability of Powermat Spots in Starbucks is transformative for San Francisco Bay residents who no longer have to worry about making it through their day with limited battery power," said Ran Poliakine, Powermat Technologies CEO, in a press statement. "They know that the nearest charge is only as far away as the nearest Starbucks."

Ad2Games: Video game market estimated to reach $30.7B by 2017
The online PC gaming industry will grow from $24.4 billion this year up to an estimated $30.7 billion in 2017, the performance marketing agency Ad2Games and analyst firm Newzoo recently reported. The PC and MMO game market will account for 31 percent of international video game revenue, with Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America expected to see 95 percent of growth over the next three years.
Trying to expand to attract - and retain - new gamers proves to be extremely expensive, with costs as low as 37 cents up to $5.63 per user, the report indicates.
The sector will see 7.9 percent year-over-year growth over the next three years, while free-to-play video games continue to woo new gamers. These types of games

German government says it is under fire from foreign cyberattackers
Similar to the United States and UK, German government agencies and companies are facing a mounting number of cyberattacks from foreign countries. Not surprisingly, it would appear a large number of the attacks are from suspected state-sponsored groups in China and Russia - and are extremely difficult to defend against. The German government is investing more resources into boosting cybersecurity to prevent successful breaches against its agencies and private companies.
There are an estimated 3,000 daily attacks targeting German government agencies, with five of those attacks blamed on foreign intelligence services. As a significant global power, there is a risk of cyberespionage from foreign governments trying to steal secrets to elevate their own political and military efforts.
"We have seen that there are ever more frequent attacks by foreign intelligence agencies on the German government IT infrastructure," said Hans Georg Maassen, the German domestic intelligence (BfV) chief. Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA snooped on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone, along with spying on other German government officials.
US energy grid targeted 79 times by hackers in 2014 alone
The US energy grid is a popular target for cybercriminals, most of them likely state-sponsored hackers, with 79 reported hacking incidents investigated by the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team. Although it's a drop from the 145 investigated incidents from 2013, there is a significant issue of US critical infrastructure being targeted by skilled cybercriminals.
There have been at least 50 customized pieces of malware designed to target energy companies, and their security efforts haven't been able to hold up. The Russian BlackEnergy malware was found on software assigned to control US electrical turbines - and while there were no attempts to disrupt the machinery - is a clear indicator that cybersecurity efforts need to be boosted immediately.
"Our grid is definitely vulnerable," said David Kennedy, TrustedSec CEO. "The energy industry is pretty far behind most other industries when it comes to security best practices and maintaining systems."
90% of US households have at least three Internet-connected devices
More than 90 percent of US households currently have at least three or more Internet-connected devices, according to a recent report published by Ericsson. The average household has 5.2 connected devices per household, and that number will increase as the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to be common place.
The Ericsson survey also found that 97 percent of households have at least one mobile phone, while mobile phone saturation continues to increase. By 2020, 90 percent of the global population over six years of age will own a mobile phone - and many phone owners will be using smartphones.
At the end of 2013 there were 1.9 billion smartphone subscriptions, and that number is expected to increase up to 2.7 billion by the end of this year. Analysts believe that number will increase 15 percent each year through 2020, as smartphones become more affordable.

Understanding Economics
Here's a question: If there's a disaster, a war, a severe drought or some other calamity that restricts future supplies of a commodity — such as oil, coffee or corn — what is the intelligent thing for people to do right away? If you said "use less now and try to produce more," you'd be absolutely correct. That's not rocket science, but understanding the machinery involved in getting people to do so is a bit more challenging.
The best way to get people to use less and produce more is to allow prices to rise. For example, say a Middle East conflict restricts oil supplies and causes prices to rise. The effect of higher prices for oil is that it gives individuals incentive to eliminate or reduce the low-valued uses of oil. For example, a low-valued use of oil is for homeowners to allow the heat that it generates to seep through walls and leaky windows. Higher oil prices create incentives to homeowners to install insulation. Higher gasoline prices force motorists to economize by taking measures such as carpooling and taking fewer low-valued trips.
Suppose that in the wake of a natural disaster — in the name of anti-gouging or some other nonsense — government officials mandate that prices cannot rise. What's the economic message? The mandate encourages people to continue their consumption as if the disaster didn't happen. Let's use gasoline as a concrete example. Suppose a family is fleeing a pending hurricane and has a half-tank of gas, plenty to get them to a safe destination, but they would feel more comfortable topping off the tank. If the price of gasoline remained at a pre-hurricane price of $3 a gallon, they might do so. But if the price shot up to $5, they'd wait until they arrived at their destination. Their decision has the effect of making more gasoline available for others. So here's my question: Which alternative is preferable for a family, fleeing the hurricane with their gas gauge showing nearly empty, gasoline available at $5 a gallon or gasoline unavailable at $3?
You might say that when there's an emergency, the government should step in to prevent prices from rising by establishing price controls. During the 1970s, the Nixon and Ford administrations, in reaction to a jump in fuel prices caused by cuts in production by OPEC, did just that. Price controls led to massive shortages, long lines at gasoline stations and massive misallocation of resources.
Whenever there are expected shortages of a commodity, there are millions of wonderful nongovernmental people who enter to help. These people, often vilified and called every name except child of God, are the speculators. Efficient allocation of resources requires allocation over time. If speculators guess there will be future shortages, they will buy the commodity now in the hopes of making a personal gain when prices rise. Their purchases have the effect of raising the commodity's price now and making more available in the future — and at a lower-than-otherwise price.
Last April, President Barack Obama called for his Department of Justice to lead a task force to root out manipulation of the oil market and gouging of consumers at the gas pump. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., introduced legislation called the End Excessive Oil Speculation Now Act. White House and congressional attacks on oil speculation do not alter the oil market's fundamental demand-and-supply reality. What would lower the long-term price of oil is for Obama and Congress to permit exploration for the estimated billions upon billions of barrels of oil off our Atlantic and Pacific shores, the Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska — not to mention the estimated billions, possibly trillions, of barrels of shale oil in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and North Dakota — but doing that would offend the sensitivities of environmental extremists who have the ears of Congress and the White House.

'Representing England together would be incredible but Saracens comes first' - Q&A with the Vunipola brothers
Published: 23 August 2013
Updated: 10:24, 27 August 2013
A year ago Mako and Billy Vunipola were relatively unknown – but now the former is a Lion and both are England internationals. Billy has also joined his brother at Saracens, and here they give their first joint interview since that controversial switch from Wasps.
Q: Saracens like to do things a little differently, so tell us about the pre-season tour to South Africa.
Mako Vunipola: It was awesome. We trained hard and the last few days were spent in the bush on safari.
Billy Vunipola: It was incredible to see the animals in their natural habitat. There were lions, elephants, rhinos — the lot. The highlight for me was probably seeing a lion eating an antelope. We were about 15 metres away and the whole smell and sense of it all was pretty cool.
MV: I really enjoyed seeing the leopard. He was only a one-year-old but he was massive, just pure muscle. He can drag a carcass weighing 220kg up a tree, and that sort of strength is just amazing. Could we do something similar in training? I'd better not mention it to the coaches – they might make us do it.
Q: Do trips like this genuinely make a difference? Saracens swear by them but other clubs seem less convinced.
BV: Others mock it – I know I did when I was at Wasps. I used to give my brother stick for it, saying: 'Who cares about these trips? It's about who wins on the day rather than who goes on holiday'. But last year they went to Verbier, came back and beat us, which rather destroyed my argument. And now that I'm here I can see it's about making genuine friends, rather than just having team-mates.
Q: Billy, Wasps weren't very happy when you left. Did that affect you?
BV: It bothered me, and the decision of whether to leave stressed me out a lot. But coming into this environment and having so much fun has lifted a weight off my shoulders as all the doubts are gone and I know my family and I made the right decision. The players understood and I shook hands with Dai (Young, Wasps' director of rugby) and we wished each other good luck, which I was really glad about.
MV: We live in a professional era and leaving clubs is part of it. My brother had been at Wasps for a number of years but there are bigger things – as a family we just didn't want to play against each other.
Q: You played against each other last season. How strange was that for you?
BV: It was awkward. There were a few times when I held back from tackling Mako. I never want to be in that position again, it was really weird.
MV: We both give 100 per cent all the time but even now it's awkward. In training here, for example, if I tackle him we both just go straight down – it's not full-on. It's not a fear of injuring each other, it's just because we are brothers.
BV: It was even worse for our families watching. They didn't know who to support. But now I'm here the main aim is to help Saracens get into the top four and see where we go from there. It will be tough.
MV: We want to improve as a team. In the Heineken Cup we made the semi-finals last year and we want to go one better.
Q: Of course you both had amazing summers, too.
BV: I had a good one with England but my brother's was better! Beating Argentina was great and then I was in Sydney to watch the Lions win the final Test against Australia.
MV: Representing the Lions was undoubtedly the highlight of my career. A year ago I just wanted to get a chance with Saracens – it all happened so quickly. I made friendships that will last for life, and to be around so many top professionals – Brian O'Driscoll, Paul O'Connell, Adam Jones – I learned so much, in terms of attitude, professionalism and responsibility. There was a lot to take in and I was a little overawed at times, but I really enjoyed it all.
Q: Presumably the next goal is to represent England together.
BV: If that happens it would be incredible for our whole family. That is one of the goals — but Saracens comes first.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's leader formally asked Beijing on Tuesday to allow electoral reform, paving the way for a city-wide leadership election in the free-wheeling Asian financial hub in 2017.
The devil remains in the details, however, with Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying offering no firm proposal and the city's democrats fearing they will be shut out of the poll once Beijing's Communist Party leadership approves an election plan.
Leung's report to the standing committee of the National People's Congress, China's parliament, followed a five-month consultation on democracy in the former British colony that drew nearly 125,000 public submissions.
Hong Kong returned to China in 1997 with wide-ranging autonomy under the formula of "one country, two systems".
"Implementing universal suffrage for the Chief Executive's election will be an important milestone of the democratic development of Hong Kong's political system, with significant real impact and historic meaning," the report said.
It also appeared to reflect a key concern of Beijing's leadership, saying Hong Kong people believed their next leader needed to be "a person who loves the country and loves Hong Kong".
The report marks one of the most significant steps yet in Hong Kong's political journey - an experiment with democracy in communist-controlled China.
It comes amid a hot political summer in Hong Kong, where hundreds of thousands marched to demand full democracy on July 1 and more than 800,000 voted in an unofficial referendum in June of possible election models.
A campaign of choreographed civil disobedience threatens to paralyse Hong Kong's glitzy Central financial district unless Beijing's allows full democracy.
The intensifying debate is split between Beijing officials and their local supporters, who are insisting upon a special committee to select candidates, and democratic activists who want open nominations.
Leung's report said "mainstream opinion" was that the Basic Law - Hong Kong's mini-constitution drawn up by China and Britain - had already made clear the power to nominate must remain with the committee.
The standing committee of the National People's Congress is due to rule on the need for reform in August after which Hong Kong people will be asked to comment on a range of options.
Hong Kong's legislature must then vote in any changes.
