Southwestern Pennsylvania production continued to rise in the first half of 2012, despite gas prices hitting decade lows around the time the year began.
According to the DEP's latest data from Marcellus operators, this region spewed 211.6 billion cubic feet of gas during the January through June period, which is a 67 percent increase from the same time last year. (Check the chart on the right for the last three years of production.)
Here are the most recent stats by county:
- Allegheny: 3.7 bcf
- Armstrong: 6.8 bcf
- Beaver: 0 bcf
- Butler: 8.8 bcf
- Fayette: 15.5 bcf
- Greene: 74.4 bcf, 229 of oil
- Washington: 78.1 bcf
- Westmoreland: 24.4 bcf
Statewide, gas production was at 704.8 bcf, but that doesn't include Chesapeake Energy, one of the top producers outside of this region.
Condensate and oil production was again concentrated in this area. Butler County had 61,885 barrels of condensate and 7,488 of oil, Greene County had 229 barrels of oil and Washington had 610,640 barrels of condensate and 21,501 barrels of oil.

David Iwanow: Thanks for the information. Have you seen other players on the market?
I've played around with several but I'm currently trailing Hootsuite but considering dropping it and moving to Viralheat publishing suite after playing around with it
How would you compare and contrast ViralHeat with a service like HootSuite?
Their old platform used to be nothing close but their publishing suite has made it better than HootSuite based on all the analytics and sentiment analysis. Also I don't believe HootSuite offers Pinterest where the paid version of Viralheat does.

This small painting depicts Aglaia, Euphrosyne and Thalia, the Three Graces of classical mythology. Daughters of Zeus, the three Graces personified beauty, and served as attendants to Venus and other goddesses. The present sketch is a typical work of the first part of Evariste Fragonard's career, when he worked predominantly in a Neoclassical vein. Many of his Neoclassical drawings of this type, produced during the Consulate and Empre, were exhibited at the Salons between 1793 and 1812, and were often reproduced as prints. Similar floating figures of the three Graces, albeit with wings, appear in a large and highly finished black chalk drawing of Psyche Before Venus of c.1797 in the Louvre.

As the new millennium dawned, British Cinema was still benefitting from the 'cool Britannia' mood perpetuated by the various Curtis-like romantic comedies popularised in the latter half of the previous decade.

Faced with distribution problems from day one, there remained legitimate concerns… Read more »

One day, as I enter my garage the facet door fell off the hinges. I named a co-worker to let her know Id be late and she recommended Lon. He was at my home by lunch time operating to make sure my door was correctly fixed and safely mounted. Lon mounted my door then took the time to fix two faucets. Lons cost was honest, his support was complete and other property enhancement recommendations Id requested have been honest. From now on, I am calling to inquire Lon for all my property improvement requirements. Thanks Lon!

Absolutely correct. I believe that the mith that the arab conquerors were in some ways better and more civilised than the european christians is incredibly wrong and a result of so many years of politically correct brain washing media and education systems all over the western world. Any historian will be able to list numerous quite advanced city states and civilisations wiped out by the mongols, turks and arabs between the 8th and 18th centuries, with the male populations exterminated and women and children taken as slaves. It is also seldomly mentioned that the arab were taking slaves from Africa long before the bristish or americans. Most of the so called islamic or arab "advances" in maths or science were actually the product of foreign artists or discoverers taken prisoners of war, with no choice but cooperate with the tyrants. I wonder why it is never mentioned the fact that the great pyramid of Kufu in Egypt was defaced by an arab conqueror in order to destroy the "infidels" (read pharaos) spells written on the initial white polished layer. Who knows which ancient knowledge treasors were willingly destroyed by the arab, turk and mongol "civilisers" ? Even today in Europe their legacy is alive: all the eastern europe where the muslim domination was present for hundreds of years is clearly less developed and more predisposed to civil disturbances than the western part never conquered. There is a clear dividing line accross Romania , with the West (Transilvania) more affluent and civilised than the south and east. This line is the old border between the austro-hungarian and the otoman empires in the Middle Ages until the mid 19th century . Comment originally posted on May 13, 2007 6:46 AM
Your reviewer writes: "In Europe's own history Islam has often been a more civilising force
than, say, the Roman Catholic church." This sweeping statement reveals crass ignorance of European history. The health and educational systems of most European countries sprang from charitable institutions sponsored by the Church. Girls were educated in such institutions at a time when their sisters in other parts of the world were confined to housekeeping and child-bearing.
Your reviewer also overlooks the civilising influence exerted by religious orders like the Cistercians, the Franciscans, the much-maligned Jesuits, or the Benedictines. Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Bernard, saint Benedict, and innumerable others, churchmen or laymen, have improved society by their action. Finally, western philosophy, art, achitecture are all indebted, one way or the other to Christianity. Surely Thomas Aquinas, Johann Sebastian Bach, St Francis of Assisi, to name but a few, have had a considerable impact on the development of Western civilisation. Your reviewer's deliberate playing down of the Roman Catholic Church's positive influence is misleading and hurtful.
Brigitte de Guillebon
Nancy, France
Thank you for the interesting review of "The Last Days of Europe" by Walter Laqueur. But I'm less happy than your reviewer about the idea of a constantly rising population. "Europe needs more not fewer immigrants" — why, for heaven's sake? Europe is already overpopulated. Parts of it (e.g. the Netherlands, southern England) are very seriously overpopulated. If Europe cannot make do economically without an endlessly rising population, it had better start learning, because an endlessly rising population is not sustainable in the long run, and not pleasant in the short run.
There is a socially-optimal population density for any piece of land. I think most parts of the world are well above that optimum and a sustained fall in population would make the planet a more pleasant place to live.
As a non-religious person, I also rejoice in the general decline in religious sentiments in Europe. As I see it, all religion is a form of insanity. Thus, to claim that Muslims are more tolerant than Catholics is weak praise, even if it's true — and I suspect it's not true today, though it may well have been in the past. It's not my ambition to be tolerated by madmen; I'd prefer to live in a society of reasonably sane people.
Jonathan Palfrey
Regarding your review of Walter Laqueur's book, bad news is usually hard to accept. This seems especially to be the case for Europeans with their superior attitude. It is difficult for them (and The Economist) to believe that in a few generations the age old European civilisation will be swallowed up by Islam—moderate or radical.
William Stern
Munster, Indiana
In your review of Walter Laqueur's book, you write "Islam has often been a more tolerant, civilising force than, say, the Roman Catholic church". I'd be interested in your understanding of the word 'often'. As far as I've made myself aware through history books, we can be thankful to Islam for bringing maths and Aristotle to Europe. But looking on the South-East of Europe from 1396 on, I can resist thinking that Islam became a rather damaging force from that point forward.
Maciej Skrobisz
Poznan, Poland
You state that in Europe's history Islam has been more tolerant than the Roman Catholic Church. This legend is widespread today, but it does not match the hard facts. Catholic Spain was invaded by militant Muslims in 711, and Islamic occupation lasted until 1492. In all of those years, Catholics (and Jews) under "tolerant" Muslim rulers suffered either dhimmitude, slavery or death.
On the contrary, "intolerant" Catholic kings often tried to integrate Spanish Muslims. Loyal Muslim emirs were usually granted the status of feudal lords of their lands. Alfonso VI took the title of "Emperor of the two religions" and Alfonso X set up the "Toledo Translator's School" in which Muslim, Jewish and Christian intellectuals freely exchanged the same knowledge and ideas that some years before had forced Maimonides to flee from Muslim Cordoba.
It was only after three additional invasions of radical Muslims from Africa and the threat of a fourth by Turks that Catholic Spanish kings adopted an intolerant policy towards their Muslim subjects. I think the tolerance of so many Muslim individuals in history could have been praised without blaming anybody else.
Bruno Soria
In your review of Walter Laqueur's "The Last Days of Europe", you argue that Islam in Europe has been a more tolerant, civilizing force than the Roman Catholic Church.
Is he using a new definition of "civilizing", maybe one of his own composition? If spreading 'civilization' means acting as an uninvited occupier then yes, Islam spread 'civilization' in Europe (akin to the US spreading 'democracy' in Iraq). Islamic forces invaded and occupied Spain, Byzantium (where they turned Hagia Sophia—the most holy church in Greek Orthodoxy—into a mosque), Greece, the Balkans and were only turned back at the gates of Vienna by that great Pole, Jan Sobieski. It was a near miss for central Europe: civilization and tolerance-wise. Regarding civilizing forces I must confess a preference for the beauty of Chartres and St Peter's and the great choral Masses of Bach, Mozart and Verdi over Islam; for tolerance I turn to the writings of Teilhard de Chardin, but then as a practicing Catholic my definitions surely differ from your reviewer's.

Liquor baron Vijay Mallya is reportedly looking for all possible ways to reducing the debts. As a part of the same, he is most likely to sell his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore. The sources close to Kingfisher Airlines told Wishesh network that Vijay Mallya was banking on RCB. In case, there' a good deal, he will right away sell Royal Challengers Bangalore Team. It is known that the financial crunch in Kingfisher Airlines has made Vijay Mallya hit the headlines for all wrong reason. Be it non-payment of salaries on time or the long pending dues of banks, Vijay Mallya who enjoyed limelight with his United Breweries eventually lost his goodtimes with Kingfisher Airlines, said sources.
In order to bring back the lost good times, Mallya chose to say good bye to IPL franchise. Notably, VIjay Mallya paid US$116.6 million to own Royal Challengers Bangalore. It didn't stop there, he reportedly shelled out huge amounts of money for players and the brand ambassador Katrina Kaif. The sources said Vijay Mallya wanted RCB not to take part in the previous season itself and now he presumably decided to sell it off. In case he sells it for the same amount too, he pay some long pending debts to banks. Recently there was a meeting held by banks headed by SBI wherein the banks apparently wanted to take over Kingfisher House in Mumbai. The sources said Vijay Mallya doesn't want to lose Kingfisher House and his villa in Goa.

Defeating the Tainted God
Look to the corners and have the final Boss follow you. Notice the oversized crossbows (ballistas). Once you are using the ballista, keep in mind depending on where and how close the Tainted God is, you may not get a high dose of damage and it is time consuming. You just have to worry about the long range attacks and sometimes the dark spawn attacking. However if you have party members then you should be alright. They can battle the dark spawn and you can remain focused on the dragon or Tainted God.

EU: Compromise reached on rosé wine production rules
By Stuart Todd | 25 March 2009
EU Member States have agreed a compromise with France over the production methods allowed for rosé wines.
Rosé wines sold in the EU will have to be labelled to distinguish those made from the traditional 'maceration' method and those produced by blending red and white wines, the European Commission said this week.
The move comes after Provence rosé producers and the French government complained about EU plans to legalise the production of rosé by blending red and white wines.
Provence rosé, which constitutes 5% of world rosé production, is only made using maceration.
The EU hopes to approve the blending technique by 1 August 2009. In the meantime, the draft directive has been sent to the World Trade Organisation for consultation by non-EU countries.

Published at 08:11, Thursday, 09 January 2014
One thousand premises were left in the dark, after a power cut hit an area of Workington.
Electricity North West confirmed that a fault with an underground cable affected the Moss Bay Road area of the town at about 9.15pm.
Firefighters and police were both called to the area after the power cut set off automated fire and burglar alarms.
A spokesman for the utility company told the News & Star: "Just over 1,000 customers were affected by a power cut in Workington last night.
"We were able to get power restored to customers by 10.40pm."
He apologised to those affected by the cut.

Full Strength Fleet Returns To Racing Action
For three teams it will be an achievement simply making the start line of the V&A Waterfront In-Port Race in Cape Town on Saturday (1300 GMT/UTC) but don't expect the competition to be anything less than full-blooded when all six boats get to race against each other for the first time in over a month.
Team Sanya, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing and PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG were all forced to retire from Leg 1 and have been working against the clock to get their boats ready for the weekend.
For the three teams that made the Leg 1 podium – winners Team Telefónica, second-placed CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand and Groupama sailing team in third -- it has scarcely been less frantic with a shorter than usual Cape Town stopover meaning all have had to graft to complete their work lists.
Given the lack of time to put anything right for Leg 2 to Abu Dhabi, which starts on Sunday, you could forgive all the teams for choosing a safety first approach for the in-port race but that would not sit well with the competitive nature of the six skippers.
"I'd love to say we're smart enough to ease off but I'm not sure we are," said Ken Read, skipper of PUMA's Mar Mostro.
The leaderboard heading into Saturday has Telefónica with 31 points, CAMPER with 29 and Groupama with 22, followed by Abu Dhabi on 6, PUMA with 5 and Sanya 3. The winners of the in-port race will scoop 6 points, with 5 for second and so on down to 1 point for last place.
In total, the in-port racing delivers close to 20 per cent of the points and with the 2011-12 edition tipped to be the most competitive ever, the value of the shorter races – which are scheduled to last less than an hour and give the public a chance to see the boats in close-quarter competition – is not lost on anyone.
"I'll try and win the race," said Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing skipper Ian Walker. "It's even more important for us now because we're behind on points, so one way we can claw back some of those points is to try and excel in the in-port race. We're just going to work; we're going to give it hell, yeah."
The racecourse will be located outside of Cape Town's port to the east of Table Bay if the wind is blowing from the south east, and will feature a downwind start followed by an L-shaped course. If the wind swings to the south west, the course will be moved to the west of the bay to escape the wind shadow created by Table Mountain.
The forecast is for around 15 knots of wind – perfect racing conditions for the Volvo Open 70s to provide a spectacle to the thousands of spectators expected to line the shores of the bay.
Abu Dhabi, Sanya and PUMA were all back out sailing on Thursday after sterling work from their shore crews to get ready. Abu Dhabi had to step the mast and tune the rig after coming in by container ship on November 30. Sanya arrived the same day and had to put their boat together again after building a huge replacement section of their hull. PUMA only got the boat back to their shore base in the early hours of Wednesday morning and have had to work round the clock to replace the mast and complete preparations.
The other teams have all checked their rigging carefully after the events of Leg 1 and are eager for battle to recommence.
"We are stronger now than when we left Alicante," said Groupama skipper Franck Cammas. "We are in good shape in terms of boat preparation for the next leg and in good shape with our spirits."
Telefónica won the first leg but could not have performed worse in the first in-port race so their mood is anything but complacent.
"The team is very happy but at the same time very realistic," said skipper Iker Martínez. "Just because we won the first leg we're not thinking that we're better than the others. That can be a big mistake."
Skipper quotes:
Team Telefónica skipper Iker Martínez:
"It was not good racing in Alicante for the in-port race, but then the first leg was the best that you can do, winning the leg. The first leg is very special, so that's even more important. Now it is time to go again for the in-port. As we saw in the first leg it is very important to make the boat safe, so on one hand you want to go very fast, and on the other you don't want to break your boat. So we're looking forward to the in-port. We were always thinking that being on the podium is a good position to start. We were a little bit scared, as always before you start, that someone else is very fast and you won't be able to catch him, which is what happened last time with Ericsson or the one before with ABN. But once we were sailing we saw that we were good, and we saw that everyone was close. We understand that this race is probably going to be close all the time."
CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand skipper Chris Nicholson:
"I'm feeling a little rushed to be honest with you, but everyone will be in the same boat. It is an extremely compressed schedule at the moment but in all the rushing around and everything we're pretty conscious about what are the priorities, what are the big things we have to get right. The boat's in fantastic shape from a really good refit basically in Cape Town and the crew's all healthy -- Mike's got his front teeth back, so all in all we're in good shape. I guess like anything we'd always like more time to prepare tactically or weather wise, but you know, that is what it is and we're in the same boat as everyone else."
Groupama sailing team skipper Franck Cammas:
"We are in good shape in terms of boat preparation for the next leg and in good shape with our spirits. We are good and we have a lot of chances to keep going like that. The ambience will be the same as the Alicante start with the first night very hard on the boats and the crew with a lot of wind ahead. It's still a good test for the ability of the boats but with the first leg out of the way and with the incidents on the other boats the fleet is now more prepared and we can be more confident in the reliability of the fleet."
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing skipper Ian Walker:
"We're good -- we're back to us being in A1 condition. It feels a bit strange because really we should be feeling super confident like we were when we left Alicante, but obviously we can't get the mast failure out of our minds and that is going to take us a while to get over that. We need to fall off some big waves and get confidence in the mast and rigging back, that's not something you can force that's just going to come over time. You'd like to say you need to be more careful, but our rig didn't fall down because we weren't being careful, and neither did PUMA's, and these boats can bite you in any conditions so we just have to make sure we keep our concentration, make sure we don't make a mistake, which can always happen, and then just rely on the design and technology to stay in one piece."
PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG skipper Ken Read:
"I think it will be good therapy for us. We need to go racing. It's what we do, it's what we're here for. We haven't done it in a long time. A hundred per cent of me is scared that this is our last rig. We have to walk before we can run. Would it be a wonderful Cinderella story to go out and win the In-Port Race? Of course it would. But it's going to be windy and it's easy to say now but if we do something stupid and lose our rig our race is over. I'd love to say we're smart enough to ease off but I'm not sure we are. OK, so things didn't go our way. Do you sit around and feel sorry for yourself or do you make the best of it. Hopefully we dragged a few more people into our sport because of it."
Team Sanya skipper Mike Sanderson:
"It's just blown me away that the guys managed to fix this thing in a week. It feels as good as it should. The rusty bit is going to be us! We've got to be careful in the in-port Race. I think we have to be conservative. Getting the boat on the start line on Sunday is the highest priority. We will be using the pro-am Race to check a few final things off. To be honest our intention is to take it easy on Saturday so we're all ready for Sunday."
Volvo Ocean Race Reveals Anti-Piracy Plans
The Volvo Ocean Race's anti-piracy plan will see the fleet transported by armed heavy lift ship from an undisclosed Safe Haven Port in the Indian Ocean and resume racing from a set-down point along the Sharjah coastline in the northern Emirates, within a day's sailing of the Leg 2 finish in Abu Dhabi.
The Race announced in August that the route for Legs 2 and 3 would be re-drawn because of the increased threat of piracy in the Indian Ocean. With the fleet set to depart Cape Town for the start of Leg 2 on Sunday, Race Director Jack Lloyd has made parts of the plan public for the first time.
The six boats will leave Cape Town as scheduled on Sunday, December 11 and continue to be tracked as normal until they reach a point in the Indian Ocean. From there, details about the boats' location will be switched off to the public as they sail on to a Safe Haven Port. At that port, the boats will be loaded on to a ship protected by armed guards and featuring other security measures and transported to the northern Emirates. The sailors will not travel on the ship.
Once unloaded, Race Management will decide where exactly to re-start the race for a short competitive sprint into Abu Dhabi, which is hosting the event from December 31 to January 14.
The scoring system has been modified, so that 80 percent of the points of Leg 2 are based on the race between Cape Town and Safe Haven 1 and 20 percent for the short sprint into Abu Dhabi. For Leg 3, the operation will be reversed, with a short sprint from Abu Dhabi at the start of the leg. The boats will go back on a ship and be transported again to a Safe Haven Port. From there, they will sail on as normal to the Leg 3 finish in Sanya, China.
Race Director Jack Lloyd said: "It is unfortunate that we have to take these measures but we have followed professional advice every step of the way. It is still very much a race around the world and we believe we have found a fair points system that will help make it an exciting sprint into Abu Dhabi.
"The teams all understand the situation and have given us their full support."
Lloyd and Knut Frostad, the CEO of the race, have worked closely with Dryad Maritime Intelligence plus government agencies including European Union Naval Force Somalia (EUNAVFOR), UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and the Maritime Security Centre, Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) as well as the sport's governing body, the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
Frostad said safety had always been the highest priority in getting the teams through the areas worst affected by piracy.
"Piracy is a threat to the entire race and the measures we are taking are designed to keep the sailors, the shore crew and the boats as safe as possible, while preserving the competitive nature of the race," Frostad said.
"This solution means we still have the exciting race finish into Abu Dhabi as always planned, while steering clear of the most dangerous waters off the Eastern African corridor."
Piracy is a well-organised and highly lucrative business and it has expanded into a vast area off the coast of Somalia. According to figures from Dryad Maritime Intelligence,1,181 seafarers were kidnapped by pirates in 2010.
Dryad's Graeme Gibbon Brooks said pirate operations in the eastern part of the Indian Ocean had been significantly restricted.
"This factor as well as very careful planning has reduced the probability of an encounter to as low as reasonably possible," he said. "But while the probability is small, the impact of an attack when it happens is extremely high."
Like Abu Dhabi, Sanya is hosting the race for the first time. The Chinese tourist city in Hainan Province will open its Race Village from February 4-19.
What are the measures being taken for Legs 2 and 3?
To minimise the threat of piracy, the Volvo Ocean Race has introduced strict security measures. The first is an exclusion zone that will keep the boats from sailing into dangerous waters. The second measure will see the boats sail to an undisclosed Safe Haven Port and be loaded on to a ship that will transport them to the northern Emirates, following the safest possible route. From there, the boats will sail on to Abu Dhabi in a short sprint. For Leg 3, the procedure will be reversed. The boats will sprint out from Abu Dhabi and be loaded onto a ship heading to a Safe Haven Port. From there, the boats will sail as normal to the Leg 3 finish in Sanya, China.
Will the tracker still display information about the boats?
Full information will only be made public up to a certain point. Once the boats have reached that point, the tracker will only show Distance to Leader information. That way, the public will still know the running order of the boats but not their exact locations. The procedure will be similar for Leg 3.
Why is the race going to Abu Dhabi?
The Volvo Ocean Race is a global event and that obviously includes the Middle East. There are multiple risks involved with sailing around the world and that includes piracy. In all of these risks we have done our best to minimise any unnecessary dangers and in this case we have followed the best possible professional advice from the leading experts globally in this field. Abu Dhabi is not the problem -- the piracy issue affects the other side of the Indian Ocean.
How does the scoring work?
The total number of points to be awarded is the same, but with 20 percent of the points on Leg 2 and 3 allocated to the short sprint in and out of Abu Dhabi.
Leg 2 – from Cape Town to Safe Haven 1:
1st place - 24 points; 2nd – 20; 3rd - 16; 4th - 12; 5th – 8; 6th – 4.
Leg 2 – Sprint to Abu Dhabi:
1st place - 6 points; 2nd – 5; 3rd - 4; 4th - 3; 5th – 2; 6th – 1.
Leg 3 – Sprint out from Abu Dhabi:
1st place - 6 points; 2nd – 5; 3rd - 4; 4th - 3; 5th – 2; 6th – 1.
Leg 3 – Safe Haven Port to Sanya:
1st place - 24 points; 2nd – 20; 3rd - 16; 4th - 12; 5th – 8; 6th – 4.
Can we be certain the ship transporting the boats is safe?
We are taking advice at every step to ensure we minimise risk. The ship transporting the boats will have armed guards on board, as well as armour protection, and will receive advice and situation updates from our security advisers.
How do pirates typically act in the region where the race will pass by?
Although a well-organised and lucrative business, piracy is still a crime of 'opportunity', according to Dryad. Pirates typically sail from the beaches of Somalia as a Pirate Action Group in previously hijacked dhows or commercial vessels known as Mother Ships and usually with a number of skiffs which are used to make the final approach carrying teams of pirates and their weapons at speed towards the target vessel. Naval forces have been able to patrol the waters of the Gulf of Aden with some success, but due to the vast nature of the Indian Ocean it is very difficult to patrol effectively particularly as pirates have extended their reach and now have the ability to operate up to 700nm from the Somalia Coast in areas such as the Indian Coast and Arabian Sea.
What do the pirates typically do then?
Once they have attacked a vessel the pirates will usually board the vessel, hijack the crew and take the vessel back to the Somali anchorages while they await responses to their requests for ransom. Ransoms have been increasing and they are known to have reached in excess of $10 million (US). The most recent released vessels endured hijackings lasting an average of 213 days.
PUMA Arrival Brings Fleet Back Up To Full Strength
The full Volvo Ocean Race fleet is back together for the first time in over a month, after PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG limped into Cape Town with just days to spare before racing resumes in conditions that will once again test the teams to the limit.
The six boats in the 2011-12 edition are preparing to rejoin battle over the weekend with the second of 10 in-port races on Saturday (1300 UTC) and the start of Leg 2 to Abu Dhabi on Sunday at the same time.
Weather forecasts suggest the teams will be heading straight back into possible boat-breaking conditions in Leg 2, with the teams facing the prospect of beating upwind in up to 30-35 knots for the first 24 hours. That will raise uncomfortable memories for at least some of the fleet after the havoc wreaked on the way out from Alicante.
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing and Team Sanya were forced out of the leg due to damage caused in a brutal first 24 hours. PUMA's Mar Mostro, skippered by the American Ken Read, was the third boat forced to retire later in the race after breaking her mast.
"I do feel of sense of nervousness before the leg start," said Sanya skipper Mike Sanderson, who led ABN AMRO ONE to victory in 2005-06. "Given a forecast of 35 knots on the nose at the start there's not too much of a settling in period!"
The three teams that actually finished Leg 1 – winners Team Telefónica, second-placed CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand and Groupama sailing team in third – have had more time to prepare their boats but are still working against the clock to get back in peak condition after three weeks at sea. The first targets are the non-scoring practice race on Thursday and the pro-am on Friday and it is still not clear how many will be ready in time.
Abu Dhabi were the first team to suffer from the heinous conditions in the Mediterranean on the first night, as they came off a huge wave and broke their mast. A few hours later, Sanya's second generation Volvo Open 70 racing yacht suffered massive damage to her hull.
Both teams ended up shipping their boats to Cape Town but their adventures were nothing compared to the odyssey endured by PUMA, whose dismasting in the southern Atlantic left them in real trouble.
Their only option was to crawl to the world's most remote human settlement at Tristan da Cunha and they only made it that far thanks to a Greek freighter that diverted to pass them over some diesel.
After regaining their strength with beer and lobsters on Tristan, they were eventually picked up by the container ship TEAM BREMEN, dispatched from South Africa to help them, and after arriving back on Tuesday night they were hauled back into the water and motored round to the team's shore base in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Their target is to get the replacement mast fitted and be back sailing as early as Wednesday evening.
"Our ability to get back competing in this race will depend on what we do over the next couple of days," Read said after stepping off the boat to a heartfelt welcome from wife Kathy, 31 days after leaving Alicante.
"Our shore crew have been itching to get the boat and now we'll get to see what they're made of. My hunch is that they're made of some pretty good stuff."
Abu Dhabi have fitted a new set of rigging and are back in the water, while Sanya expect to be sailing again by Wednesday night.
On Thursday, the teams are due to take part in the non-scoring practice race, though it is unclear whether the three damaged boats will be ready in time.
The same goes for Friday's pro-am, though at the moment all six boats are on track to take the line in the V&A Waterfront In-Port Race and the start of Leg 2 to Abu Dhabi. The route for the that leg has been substantially redrawn because of the threat of piracy, with the teams now set to be transported by ship between two Safe Haven Ports, to take them through the worst affected area.
Abu Dhabi won the first of the 10 in-port races in this edition in Alicante, briefly taking first place on the leaderboard. The current situation is:
1. Team Telefónica - 31 points
2. CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand - 29 points
3. Groupama sailing team - 22 points
4. Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing - 6 points
5. PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG - 5 points
6. Team Sanya - 3 points
Team Telefónica: The first boat to finish came in with the boat in immaculate condition, according to team technical chief Horacio Carabelli. Theirs has been a problem-free stopover, with the boat going back in the water on Monday and the team having the luxury of giving the rigging a careful check.
"Even though we knew the mast is fine we took it apart," said Fernando Sales, who is responsible for the mast. "We had time and what we decided to do was to take the entire thing apart. That means we took out everything that might be unscrewed, loosened or moved along the way: all of the spreaders came out and the fixings which fix them to the mast itself, as well as the shrouds, and all of this had to be put back together. We took everything that forms part of the mast apart to give it a good clean and to put it through ultrasound testing".
CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand: CAMPER have also had plenty of time to work on their boat, with skipper Chris Nicholson satisfied that the problem they had with the rigging on the way into Cape Town was purely down to human error rather than any technical fault. "There was no rigging failure and we didn't almost drop the rig," Nicholson said. "What happened was down to a handling error on our behalf. Was I happy with that? No and I made that very clear to the guys and it won't happen again."
Groupama sailing team: After coming in third, three days behind the winners, Groupama have been checking everything meticulously. Their boat is in the water again and no major problems have been detected. "These past six days have seen us checking the carbon and mechanical structures and we also unstepped the boat's mast, daggerboards and rudders," said head of boat construction Pierre Tissier. "We also cleaned the hull beneath the waterline and checked over the whole structure. Some slight repairs and modifications have been required to improve life for the sailors on board. We haven't encountered any problems and Groupama 4 is in tip-top condition."
PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG: The team arrived at the shore base around 0100 on Wednesday and skipper Ken Read told reporters the crew would be pulling an all-nighter, with a view to getting her back in the water with the replacement mast stepped and even sailing again the same day.
"Our ability to get back competing in the race depends on what we do over the next couple of days," said Read. "The other teams will get faster on every leg but can we get faster too? Will we get left behind? We'll have a good idea early in Leg 2."
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing: Everything has gone to schedule for Ian Walker's team since the boat came in on a container ship. The rig has been installed and tuned and the team were able to go out sailing on Wednesday. "Azzam is back in the water and looking good for contention come the race restart," said Walker. "There is still more work to be done on refining the mast and rigging but we are committed to living up to Azzam's determination moniker and be fighting fit for our home leg to Abu Dhabi."
Team Sanya: The enormous hole in the hull has been repaired thanks to round-the-clock work from a team of boat-builders brought in from New Zealand. The boat will be launched on Wednesday afternoon and the team should be back sailing by Thursday.
"Today is a day of split feelings really," said skipper Mike Sanderson. "On the one hand I cannot praise enough everyone that has been involved in the process of getting our boat back into race mode again. On the other hand, I do feel of sense of nervousness before the leg start. There are four boats out training and here we are this morning going on our keel and going into the water only tonight. That should not detract in any way from the great work done, but for sure my apprehension has gone up probably. Also given a forecast of 35 knots on the nose at the start there is not too much of a settling in period! The most important thing right now is to get out sailing tomorrow and for sure a lot of those nervous feelings will go once we are sailing again."
Cape Town Stopover race schedule:
Friday December 9 - Pro-Am Race 1300 local (1100 UTC)
Saturday December 10 - V&A Waterfront In-Port Race 1500 local (1300 UTC)
Sunday December 11 - Leg 2 start to Abu Dhabi 1500 local (1300 UTC)

CBS Sports Network controls the main package of MWC games through an existing deal that also runs through '19-20 and pays the conference about $6M annually. Deal terms have one of ESPN's channels or ESPN3 carrying up to 16 football games, plus every Boise State home game, as well as 31 men's basketball games per year. ESPN has committed to carry at least three Boise State home games on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. The rest of Boise State's home games could be moved to ESPNU or ESPN3. CBS holds the rights to Boise State's in-conference road games. The deal includes "TV Everywhere" components, with games being made available on the WatchESPN app. Last year, ESPN sublicensed four MWC football games from CBS Sports, marking the first MWC games on ESPN since '05 (John Ourand, Staff Writer).

The Democratic Party has core values that are very much in sync with most Americans. But this year, too many Democratic candidates lost sight of those core principles -- opting instead to clip their progressive wings in deference to a conventional wisdom that says bold ideas aren't politically practical.
Conventional wisdom says that James Woods doesn't have a prayer. As an atheist, Woods relies on his message, values, supporters, and voters and not on prayers. While it is also true that the demographics are against him, his message is getting out there and that is an awesome win for atheists and for progressives.
It would be hard to argue that we have not seen some remarkable achievements in the past week or so, most notably in the form of the massive, grassroots power displayed by the hundreds of thousands of people coming together in common cause in the heart of the world's financial capital, New York City.

Sharp rise in Iran's foreign trade
02 June 2014 [10:00] -
Dalga Khatinoglu
Iran Customs Administration's reports suggest that the country's non-oil foreign trade has been increased significantly during last two months.
The country's exports have been reportedly more than its imports in the mentioned period.
Iran's exports in the mentioned period were around $8.154 billion, which is 30 percent more than the same time span previous year.
The country's imports also stood at $7.688 billion, which shows a 35-percent increase compared to previous year.
Iran's fiscal year starts on March 20 and Custom's report covers a period from March 20 to May 20.
According to the Iran Customs Administration, Tehran's exports were a little more than $6 billion in the first two months of previous year, which was around 2 percent less than its preceding year. The country's imports were also $5.7 billion in the first two months of last year, some 33 percent less than its preceding year.
So, Iran's non-oil trade shows a significant increase even in comparison to the period of time before the international sanctions were imposed on the country in mid-2012.
A boost in exports of sanctioned items
The latest report of Iran Customs Administration records a significant rise in the exports of items that were put under sanctions by the West, including liquid gas (LPG), petrochemical products, and gas condensates.
LPG is a kind of liquid gas which includes propane and butane. Gas condensates are also a kind of light and expensive oil, extracted for gas fields.
The west countries eased some sanctions imposed on Iran in November 2013 due to interim nuclear accord.
Based on the report, exports of liquefied propane and liquefied butane amounted to $375 million and $247 million in the last two months, respectively.
Last year, exports of liquefied propane and liquefied butane stood at $137 million and $144 million, respectively. In other words, Iran's LPG exports increased by 2.2 times year-to-year.
The report also indicates that Iran exported $3.03 billion worth of gas condensates and $1.991 billion worth of petrochemicals in the first two months of the current year.
According to the Custom's report, Iran exported $1.239 billion worth of gas condensates and $1.717 billion worth of petrochemicals in the corresponding period last year.
In other words, Iran's gas condensate exports were increased by 2.4 times. Exports of petrochemicals have also increased to some extent.
Gas condensates and petrochemicals account for half of Iran's non-oil exports.
Major goods imported
Wheat, vehicles equipped with internal combustion piston engines of 1000-1500cc, oil cake, rice, and unrefined soy oil were the major goods imported, worth $495 million, $263 million, $340 million, $235 million, and $172 million, respectively.
Imports of vehicles equipped with internal combustion piston engines of 1000-1500cc had a considerable 7.5-time rise compared to the 2-month period in the past year. After the six-month interim nuclear agreement in Geneva, sanctions on the Iranian automotive sector were suspended.

Area Forecast Discussion for Hawaii
A rather dry trade wind pattern will prevail across most of the state through the next couple of days, but lingering low level moisture will continue to generate scattered shower activity across windward portions of the Big Island and Maui. Surface high pressure north of the islands will drive strong trade winds across the state through the end of this week and into the weekend. Trades should slacken a bit early next week, with showers remaining focused mainly across windward areas.
Breezy and rather dry conditions have continued across most of the state this morning. Some areas on the windward Big Island and on the windward slopes of Haleakala continue to receive small rainfall amounts. Surface analysis depicts a 1029 mb high centered 1050 miles north of Kauai, with fresh to locally strong trade wind flow prevailing over the main Hawaiian islands. The 12Z Lihue sounding found a dry and very stable profile, with a strong inversion based near 5000 feet and precipitable water /pw/ of only 0.76 inches. The 12Z Hilo sounding reflected the slightly deeper moisture lingering near the Big Island, with an inversion based around 6500 feet and 1.10 inches of PW. Mimic-total PW satellite imagery depicts a dry atmosphere around and north of the islands, with deeper tropical moisture confined well to the south of the Big Island. A breezy, stable and mainly dry trade wind pattern will prevail through the next several days. The surface high initially to our north is forecast to build slowly eastward to the north of the state between 30°N and 40°N through the rest of this week and into the weekend. Breezy conditions will be widespread over land areas during this time as fresh to strong trade winds prevail. The high resolution uh-wrf model is depicting sustained winds of 25 knots or greater across parts of the Big Island today, and recent observations show winds already near advisory criteria in exposed locations in Maui county and the Big Island. A wind advisory is in effect for parts of Maui county and the Big Island through 6 pm today. If winds verify today as models indicate, this advisory would likely need to be extended through at least Friday. Otherwise, sparse shower coverage will be mainly confined to windward and mauka areas through the weekend, with the best rain chances remaining across the windward Big Island. Blended model data keeps PW near or below one inch (below the 25th percentile for this time of year). Therefore would expect rainfall amounts to remain mostly on the light side. Trade winds should slacken a bit early next week, as the surface high to our north weakens. A modest increase in low level moisture may take place, and a very weak front or shear line may pass through the state around next Wednesday. With the added moisture windward/mauka showers could increase somewhat, but overall do not expect any major changes to the weather pattern.
Fresh and gusty trade winds beneath a well defined inversion aloft are expected to persist through 24 hours and beyond. Wind speeds in excess of 25 kt are expected along norhtheastern exposures and over mountain ridges. Channeled areas may experience stronger winds. Airmet tango for moderate low level turb lee side of all mountains is likely to remain necessary through 24 hours and possibly beyond. Precipitation is expected to remain light and mainly confined to windward portions of Maui Molokai and the Big Island. Isol MVFR possible in passing showers otherwise VFR conds expected to prevail all areas through at least Friday morning.
North-northeast swell appears to have peaked at the Waimea bay and Pauwela cdip buoys, but continues to run above wavewatch guidance. This swell is forecast to gradually subside through today, but given observation trends will maintain the existing high surf advisory for north and east facing shores through 6 pm. The large NNE swell may also cause harbor surges within Kahului and Hilo harbors through today, and a marine weather statement has been issued. A combination of lingering moderate NNE swell and short period wind waves driven by strong trades will maintain elevated surf across north and east facing shores from through the weekend. The high surf advisory will likely be extended for east facing shores beyond today, and possibly for some north facing shores. The overnight ascat pass missed the Hawaiian coastal waters, but did find large areas of 25 knot winds well west and southwest of Kauai. The Wednesday morning ascat pass found 25 knot winds in the Alenuihaha channel and south of the Big Island, with winds near 20 knots in the kaiwi and Kauai channels. Trades have increased further since then with high pressure building north of the state, and the combination of wind waves and large NNE swell is still generating combined seas of 10 feet or higher across many areas. A small craft advisory /sca/ remains posted for all of the Hawaiian coastal waters. Sca conditions will likely continue for most of the waters through the rest of this week.
HFO Watches/Warnings/Advisories
High surf advisory until 6 pm HST this evening for all north and east facing shores except for Lanai and Kahoolawe. Wind advisory until 6 pm HST this evening for Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui central valley, south Big Island, Big Island north and east, Kohala. Small craft advisory until 6 am HST Saturday for Kauai northwest waters, Oahu leeward waters, Kaiwi Channel, Maalaea Bay, Pailolo channel, Alenuihaha channel, Big Island leeward waters, Big Island southeast waters. Small craft advisory until 6 pm HST this evening for Kauai windward waters, Kauai leeward waters, Kauai channel, Oahu windward waters, Maui county windward waters, Maui county leeward waters, Big Island windward waters.

Why car insurance premiums are on the rise
We are causing fewer collisions, and being vandalized and stone-chipped less often. Here's why car insurance is going up.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ontario drivers have good reason to be suspicious about the cost of auto insurance.
We are causing fewer collisions, and being robbed, vandalized and stone-chipped less often.
The cost of repairing collision damage inflicted by others did rise about 6.9 per cent over four years, compared with an overall price inflation rate of 6 per cent.
Yet far more us claimed to be injured and in need of hands-on care, financial assistance and relief from the day-to-day grind of returning to work, caring for children and keeping homes and lawns tidy.
Industry-wide insurance figures for 2010 indicate the number of claims for accident benefits — by both those innocent and at-fault — were 28 per cent higher than in 2006.
What's more alarming is the cost of compensation, including insurers' cost of administration, rose by nearly 71 per cent.
The combined effect of a 17,498 increase in claims and a $23,239 increase in the average claim cost equaled about $350 for each of the 6.6 million privately owned passenger vehicles, excluding those of farmers.
Motorists didn't actually pay the full $2.4 billion increase in costs. If they had, their insurance premiums would have had to been higher by at least $925 million or $140 per car.
So insurers saw a steep drop in profitability. Hardest hit was the industry leader in Ontario, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., which lost $1.06 billion in 2010.
Both insurers and provincial regulators suspect a high level of skullduggery is occurring.
Insurers have taken to suing certain medical clinics, alleging bogus billings, and calling for regulation of the owners. Philip Howell, superintendent of the Ontario Financial Services Commission, has issued a challenge and instructions to insurers on how to combat fraudulent claims, while complying with regulations aimed at protecting consumers and controlling costs.
Also read:
James Daw, former personal finance columnist with the Toronto Star, was appointed as a consumer representative on the Auto Insurance Anti-Fraud Task Force.
Task force to look into fraud
The Province has announced the appointment of an Auto Insurance Anti-Fraud Task Force. The government has asked the task force to undertake research into the scope and nature of the problem and to make recommendations to address it.
Fred Gorbet, a former deputy minister of finance for Canada, will head a five-person steering committee.
Other members include George Cooke, president of The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Co., Margaret Beare, a professor of law and sociology at York University who has studied and written about organized crime and corruption in Canada, and Deputy Chief Bob Percy of Halton Regional Police.
I will have the honour to serve as the consumer representative.
Further information about the task force is availabe at http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/reformcommission/auto.html
Individuals who wish to make a contribution are invited to contact the task force at email@example.com.
