Energy minister: Mining arc will be like Orinoco Oil Belt
Exploitation areas were demarcated in December
"There will be a mining arc, which will be like the Belt. Same as done with oil will be done with gold," the senior authority told private TV channel Venevisión during an interview.
In 2011, the Law that Reserves the State Gold Exploitation was passed. In this context, a partnership between Pdvsa and the Venezuelan Guayana Corporation (CVG) was aired to develop the activity. Recently, though, it was reported that the state-owned oil company, through the Venezuelan Mining Corporation, would carry out the operations.
The Corporation has been already allocated three blocs, containing reserves for 85 million ounces, the oil minister spelled out.
While as late as January 28, government authorities elaborated on the plans in the mining sector, back in December the exploitation areas had been delimited.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mining released in the Official Gazette No. 6094 of December 28, 2012, the resolution concerning the areas. The regulation broke down the recent announcement, according to which Pdvsa will hold the blocs of Guasipati-Callao, El Callao and South Sifontes Sur, covering an area of 35,778 hectares.
The resolution notes that Pdvsa will ensure the reasonable use of the resource and, through its subsidiary, may work on exploitation for 20 years. Further, "it may apply for the extension set forth in the available laws."
The minister recently said that the Corporation will have 45% out of the total gold areas; small-scale mining will be the target of 11%.
"There are standard areas of small-scale legal mining with which we will enter into joint ventures, and we have reserved 46% out of the available areas for new operations, where the involvement both of domestic and foreign business is envisaged."
The president of Pdvsa said again that an agreement with China was signed to outline the country mining map. He explained that this will be helpful to have all the reserves of gold and other minerals quantified and certified.
Ramírez remembered that the Council of Ministers had initialed the change in the windfall oil tax, raising the ceiling from USD 70 to USD 80. "Those additional dollars will enter the Central Bank."

Pablo Jiménez Guaricuco was summarily dismissed from his Clerk III job at the Autonomous Service of Public Registries and Notaries' Offices (Saren). He read a notice published in a newspaper on November 5 informing the public that he was no longer employed to the Saren. He was sacked despite the fact that he was taking a leave of absence from work due to a work-related accident, and that he enjoyed security of employment under the parental job-immunity privilege. Most probably, the decision was influenced by his role as a union organizer. But what did he do, besides leading protests, to deserve the sack? Well, he allegedly sent off a series of tweets that definitely hurt the sensitivity of the Saren Directorate.

I did a fairly high gravity(1.090 OG) on top of the yeast from an IPA (1.070 OG). The batch took off like gangbusters and now 60 hours later, it is at 1.014. Tastes really good but I was wondering if the fast ferment is going to cause any issues. TIA
Wow... only thing I can think is that the ipa yeast cake mght have had some stressed or too many yeast which both could cause issues, but if it tastes good... well done. Thats all that matters in the end.
Not out of the ordinary at all especially with fresh yeast on a high gravity beer, might have over pitched a bit but it shouldn't hurt the beer at all.

If the 4.9 million barrels of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 Deep Water Horizon spill was a ecological disaster, the two million gallons of dispersant used to clean it up apparently made it even worse – 52-times more toxic. That's according to new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes (UAA), Mexico.
The study found that mixing the dispersant with oil increased toxicity of the mixture up to 52-fold over the oil alone. In toxicity tests in the lab, the mixture's effects increased mortality of rotifers, a microscopic grazing animal at the base of the Gulf's food web. The findings are published online by the journal Environmental Pollution and will appear in the February 2013 print edition.
Using oil from the Deep Water Horizon spill and Corexit, the dispersant required by the Environmental Protection Agency for clean up, the researchers tested toxicity of oil, dispersant and mixtures on five strains of rotifers. Rotifers have long been used by ecotoxicologists to assess toxicity in marine waters because of their fast response time, ease of use in tests and sensitivity to toxicants. In addition to causing mortality in adult rotifers, as little as 2.6 percent of the oil-dispersant mixture inhibited rotifer egg hatching by 50 percent. Inhibition of rotifer egg hatching from the sediments is important because these eggs hatch into rotifers each spring, reproduce in the water column, and provide food for baby fish, shrimp and crabs in estuaries.
"Dispersants are preapproved to help clean up oil spills and are widely used during disasters," said UAA's Roberto-Rico Martinez, who led the study. "But we have a poor understanding of their toxicity. Our study indicates the increase in toxicity may have been greatly underestimated following the Macondo well explosion."
Martinez performed the research while he was a Fulbright Fellow at Georgia Tech in the lab of School of Biology Professor Terry Snell. They hope that the study will encourage more scientists to investigate how oil and dispersants impact marine food webs and lead to improved management of future oil spills.
"What remains to be determined is whether the benefits of dispersing the oil by using Corexit are outweighed by the substantial increase in toxicity of the mixture," said Snell, chair of the School of Biology. "Perhaps we should allow the oil to naturally disperse. It might take longer, but it would have less toxic impact on marine ecosystems."

Puckapunyal Rugby Club's potential windfall
Puckapunyal Rugby Club has the chance to snag $5000 in funding, just in time for the 2013 rugby season, which kicks off next month.December 26, 2012 4:00am
RaboDirect executive general manager Greg McAweeney said they were pleased to be able to help out smaller country rugby union clubs financially.
''Victorian clubs received almost $50
''It was so successful last year and further highlights our commitment to supporting Victorian rugby union at all levels.
''We are encouraging local fans of the Puckapunyal Rugby Club to get involved and sign up for a RaboDirect membership to support their club and boost their chances of making the top eight this year.
''These grants made a big difference to local clubs last year and we hope to alleviate some of their financial pressures again this season.''
The program rewards the eight Victorian Rugby Clubs that sign up the most new members with a cheque for $5000, and the chance to earn an extra $200 for each successful conversion kicked by the Melbourne Rebels during a country game that will be scheduled early in the new year.
The rights to host a Melbourne Rebels home game is also a major drawcard for local rugby union fans.
All winning clubs will also receive a rugby union equipment prize pack and, even those who do not finish in the top eight, will also get a prize pack.
There are 25 rugby union clubs currently registered in Victoria, with the sport enjoying an increase in participation and club membership over the past few years.
Melbourne Rebels CEO Steve Boland said the program was also a great way to connect with the local Rugby community.
''Who knows, we may unearth the next James O'Connor or Nick Phipps,'' he said.
Gilbert brand manager Jon Clarke said it was vital to help clubs develop the next generation of rugby union players.
''The more Rebels memberships your supporters sign up for, the greater the chance the Puckapunyal Rugby Club has to take home vital funds and equipment.
All Victorian Clubs, including those who previously won in 2012, are invited to participate in the program.
Memberships are available at www.melbournerebelsmembership.com.au

Japanese hedge fund Asuka Asset Management has launched its second fund investing in catastrophe bonds and other insurance-linked securities with US$40 million.
The new Asuka ILS Opportunities Fund/Trust is a joint-venture between Tokyo-based Asuka and its Eastpoint Asset Management unit, set up in Bermuda earlier this month to invest in ILS. The new fund will invest in cat bonds, industry loss warranties and collateralized reinsurance programs.
Asuka is marking the new fund to Japanese and other Asian investors, who are underrepresented in the asset class, Eastpoint CEO Masahide Kitade said. Asian investors currently own less than 5% of global ILS assets; as Kitade notes, "they have to look across the world to find the best opportunities."
Asuka has some US$800 million in assets under management.

Blood the gift of life for girl
Cancer survivor face of donation campaign
BEING told you have cancer isn't the kind of news any 10-year-old should get.
But that's the diagnosis Sara Knox, now 12, received from doctors, who found a mass in her abdomen that was Burkitt's lymphoma, a rare cancer of the lymph nodes that mostly affects children.
"I didn't really know what it would mean," Sara said Thursday, sitting at a table in Winnipeg's Canadian Blood Services clinic. "It was definitely scary. It was a shock."
Her treatment started immediately and required eight rounds of chemotherapy with multiple blood transfusions.
Two years of treatments later, Sara's cancer is gone -- and she has a message for anyone capable of donating blood.
"I want people to realize that I wouldn't be here without all of these really generous donations," Sara said.
"When you're in the hospital, you meet a lot of people who need blood. It puts a face behind what blood donation is, and what it goes towards. I've met a bunch of kids who are relying on people to donate blood for their life."
Sara is the public face of this year's push by Canadian Blood Services to ensure its supply levels are high enough to last the holiday season.
"We have the same need all year, but we find that during the holidays people are busy or away, so we do want to make sure our inventory levels are constant," said Trisha Bal, Canadian Blood Services' community development co-ordinator.
"Blood products don't have a long shelf life. So if we're closed certain days, like Christmas Day, we have to get more blood."
As Sara toured the clinic during the morning to give thanks to those who were donating, she found a group of three co-workers from a house-restoration firm who had arrived together to donate.
"I think I'm on my sixth time donating," said Jen Andrzejczak. Her colleague in the chair beside her, Martin Lemoine, was making his fourth donation.
Andrzejczak said she was 17 when she made her first donation, going with one of her friends who was too nervous to go alone. She kept coming back because of family members affected by illnesses that required blood transfusions.
"I'm actually really uncomfortable giving blood, so it helps that the staff is so nice here," said Andrzejczak. "I don't like needles... but I just take a deep breath and look the other way."
On most days, the Winnipeg clinic receives about half its donations from such groups of co-workers, said Bal. Through their Partners for Life program, Canadian Blood Services even sends a shuttle to a company's workplace to bring groups to the clinic.
But at this time of year, they need an extra effort from people to donate, and that's where Sara's presence comes in. She said it's fun to be in front of TV cameras, but she knows better than most how serious her message is.
"I want to let people know that their blood is going somewhere," Sara said.
"Because when you come in here, basically you're coming into this room, getting poked with a needle and then you get food and then you get to leave. But really, you're doing so much more than that."

Mozilla Spots Massive Performance Regression In GCC
Published on 25 June 2010 10:16 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
10 Comments
Mozilla developers on the GCC mailing list have been expressing what they describe as a "massive performance regression" and "what might be the biggest compiler-upgrade-related performance difference we've seen at Mozilla." The Mozilla developers have upgraded from GCC 4.3 to GCC 4.5, which was
released in April
, and now they are experiencing massive slowdowns.
Taras Glek of Mozilla reports that with this newest release of the GNU Compiler Collection they are experiencing 4-19% slowdowns on average with their automated benchmarks on their 32-bit and 64-bit Linux builds. The only case where there wasn't a slowdown was with the 64-bit SunSpider JavaScript benchmark where it sped up by 8% when being built under GCC 4.5. Some of these Mozilla slowdowns after the GCC upgrade are discussed
. The start of the mailing list discussion can be found
Because of these performance shortcomings on GCC 4.5, Mozilla is reconsidering their switch to this newest compiler release. At least because Mozilla has an automated benchmarking infrastructure in place, they were able to spot this issue timely themselves rather than waiting for us or others to spot the problem.
Initial thoughts on these major regressions caused by GCC are the Mozilla developers building Firefox with flags for size optimizations rather than speed and possible regressions from code inlining. Mozilla was originally switching to GCC 4.5 due to its newly-introduced plug-in support and the ability to build Firefox with PGO (Profile-Guided Optimizations).

De StijlLine breaks: De Stijl
Pronunciation: /də ˈstʌɪl /
Definition of De Stijl in English:
A 20th-century Dutch art movement founded in 1917 by Theo van Doesburg (1883–1931) and Piet Mondrian. The movement favoured an abstract, economical style and was influential on the Bauhaus and constructivist movements.
Dutch, literally 'the style', originally the name of the movement's periodical.

Couple saved from near train crash, calls rescuers heroes
The Slater couple inside a car pushed off the tracks seconds before a train crossed an intersection spoke Thursday to KCCI NewsChannel 8.
"I really thought we weren't going to make it," said Jean Papich, who was stuck in the Clark Avenue Crossing with her husband, Marion Papich.
With seconds before impact, two good Samaritans jumped in and pushed the couple to safety.
"I'd call them heroes because they didn't have to risk their life to get right down in front of the car between the car and the train and push us," Marion said.
Marion and Jean have been married for 55 years.
Union Pacific Railroad officials said those who find themselves stuck on the tracks should get out and call 911.

Facebook adds mobile metrics to its arsenal of measurement
Marketing & Media
Send this to a friend
- Andi Rodriguez
It's quality that matters — not quantity — when it comes to Facebook reach numbers, insists Julie Ord.
Ord, the social media director for San Antonio-based Blonde Creative's social media arm, SocialGrip, explains that the number of people you reach may be more impressive than you thought, thanks to Facebook's new methods of post calculation released on July 2.
While it would seem logical that reach data would encompass all modes of accessing Facebook, it's actually been limited to desktop numbers only.
"Previously, Facebook had not been including mobile activity into their metrics, but had never actually published that was the case," says Ord. "Now, thanks to some changes the social media world was noticing last week, Facebook officially announced they are now including any mobile activity in page insights, which may make your reach higher than you thought."
Ord, who consumes social media intelligence like oxygen, has a knack for digging up obscure pieces of information critical to her clients' success.
"Changes occur rapidly and often under the radar," Ord says. "Not everyone has to be a social media expert, but immersing myself is fun, and I love helping guide clients in a way that empowers them. ..."
While the term "reach" is common, not everyone may be familiar with its context in the Facebook realm. Ord explains it like this: "Reach is the total number of people who have seen a page post within the first 28 days since it was made. It's counted when a post is loaded and shown in News Feed."
So while your desktop numbers may be high, the addition of mobile users to your numbers may be a pleasant surprise.
Facebook measurement — and subsequently its value — have been ambiguous at best. Now, Ord explains, the reach metric in page insights will also accurately reflect the desktop News Feed. It will no longer count reach until a user scrolls and actually loads the page's story. This equates to actual connection, more accuracy and, eventually, dollar value.
Ord sums it up this way. "It's not really social media if you're not connecting with people."
Creative Civilization
San Antonio-based marketing and public relations firm, Creative Civilization has a nationally known media expert on board. The firm last week announced that Toni Ellard has joined the firm as director of touchpoint integration. In this role, she will oversee the agency's media buying and planning department and will lend her expertise in digital, traditional and nontraditional media touchpoint strategy for client campaigns.
"Touchpoint" is one of marketing's newer buzzwords. It's a way to define the increasingly complex integration of channels used to "touch" the target audience during the relationship cycle. Essentially, touchpoints are points of contact; social media, branding, marketing, public relations and experiences all create touchpoints. It is the quality and management of these touchpoints that drive perceptions, actions and relationships.
Ellard has over 20 years in media planning, buying and research for national clients such as Nestle USA and Procter & Gamble. "Toni's unique combination of skills and success with national brands, as well as some of San Antonio's most iconic brands, makes her a tremendous asset to our agency and our clients," says Creative Civilization President and Chief Operating Officer Gisela Girard.
Muñoz PR
Cynthia Muñoz' passion for the arts has yielded a number of creative clients. In addition to representing Mariachi Vargas and others, she recently led the public relations effort unveiling the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center's new mural by nationally renowned painter and sculptor Emanuel Martinez. But it isn't simply art that has garnered Martinez high praise. He's also the founder of "The Emanuel Project" — a national arts program for incarcerated youth.
And that's precisely what makes the mural so special, explains Muñoz. Upon completion, it was revealed that over 80 percent of the 51-foot-by-17-foot mural incorporated painting and work by youth at the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center. Martinez uses art to teach as a result of his own time spent in a juvenile detention facility when he was 13. By the time Martinez was 25, he had several works on permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
"The Emanuel Project is successfully reaching incarcerated youth who are often referred to as 'America's Forgotten Youth,' " says Tommy Adkisson, Bexar County Commissioner, Pct. 4.
Residents at the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center have spent the past two weeks working alongside Martinez. The mural, titled "Shoot for your Goals," helps youth focus on positive visual messages. Martinez utilizes these large-scale mural processes to help students make positive choices, focus on education, build self-esteem and overcome the negative stigma associated with being incarcerated.

Padres lose starters Aaron Harang, Dustin Moseley to the disabled list
Jun 12, 2011, 7:32 PM EST
With no lineup to speak of, the Padres appear to be in really deep trouble now. On Sunday they indicated that both their winningest starter, Aaron Harang, and the member of their rotation with the lowest ERA, Dustin Moseley, were going on the disabled list.
Harang, who is 7-2 with a 3.71 ERA, is being sidelined by a badly bruised left foot. He pitched through the problem on Thursday, but it's gotten worse and he's been in a walking boot the past few days.
Moseley, who has gone 2-6 despite a 3.16 ERA, partially dislocated his left (non-throwing) shoulder during his start Wednesday against the Rockies.
The good news is that neither injury is expected to turn into a long-term issue. Both could be back after missing two starts.
Anthony Bass will be called up to make his major league debut in Harang's place Monday. Bass, 23, was 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA and a 60/17 K/BB ratio in 11 starts for Double-A San Antonio. He doesn't have the stuff of the Padres' top pitching prospects, but the team wasn't about to reach down for Casey Kelly with the idea of having him make two starts.
Wade LeBlanc, who went 8-12 with a 4.25 ERA for San Diego last year, is expected to fill in for Moseley. He's currently 5-1 with a 5.24 ERA for Triple-A Tucson. He's allowed just two runs over 13 innings in his last two starts.

Hulk Hogan sex-tape dispute resolved
Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan agreed to a settlement with a disc jockey over a sex tape involving Hogan and the DJ's wife.
A statement by Hogan's publicist on Monday morning said the terms of the settlement were confidential.
In a lawsuit filed Oct. 15, Hogan said he had consensual sex with his best friend's wife, Heather Clem, six years ago in the Clems' home, but he didn't know he was being videotaped.
On Monday, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem apologized to Hogan, whose real name is Bollea. Clem also said that he's convinced Hogan was unaware he was being filmed.
A lawsuit is still pending against the gossip website Gawker, which put excerpts of the video on its site.

TranSwitch Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the rapidly growing consumer electronics and telecommunications markets, today announced that the Company's HDplay™ TXC-44146 transceiver has been designed into several Kramer Electronics video products, including video switches and distribution amplifiers. Production of Kramer Electronics' first new video product featuring HDplay is expected to commence by the end of the first quarter 2013.
Kramer Electronics is a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance video solutions for corporate, education, transportation, hospitality, entertainment, retail, and institutional markets. Video switches enable users to easily connect multiple source devices, and distribution amplifiers allow users to transmit multimedia content over long distances. TranSwitch's HDplay transceivers provide Kramer Electronics with a single-IC solution that minimizes design complexity and speeds time-to-market for new switch and amplifier products that feature both HDMI® and DisplayPort™ connectivity.
HDMI and DisplayPort devices continue to gain prevalence in the market, driving manufacturers of connectivity devices, such as video switches and amplifiers, to adopt both standards. According to a report by InStat, the combined total number of devices shipped with HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI connectivity is forecasted to surpass 2 billion in 2015.
"Kramer Electronics has a tradition of delivering video switches and amplifiers that provide exceptional performance and reliability," said Ehud Ardel, vice president of research and development at Kramer Electronics.

"Kramer Electronics' new switch and amplifier products merge this connectivity advantage with its proven design and manufacturing prowess to provide customers with reliable, high-definition video solutions. We are extremely pleased to be a part of the Kramer Electronics success story and look forward to continued close collaboration in the design of future platforms that tap into device connectivity trends."
TranSwitch's HDplay transceivers are the industry's only solution that offers both HDMI and DisplayPort functionality on a single integrated circuit. With HDplay powering a video switch or distribution amplifier, end-users are able to conveniently connect a wide range of multimedia devices. HDplay also utilizes TranSwitch's patented AnyCable™ technology, enabling the user to confidently select long and inexpensive cables, while maintaining HDMI 1.4 performance.

The Scott Kveton affair
|| Print |
|Wednesday, July 09, 2014
Scott Kveton, the CEO of Urban Airship, is taking a leave of absence from the company, effective immediately, the Portland Business Journal reported yesterday. An article published in the Oregonian last week stated Kveton is under investigation for allegedly sexually assaulting a former girlfriend.
As the story continues to unfold, here's my perspective on a few of the key players:
The Oregonian: The O's original article was so salacious that of course I devoured every word. But by the end of the story my professional instincts kicked in. The entire article could have been distilled to one or two sentences, something along the lines of: "Scott Kveton, CEO of fast- growing mobile app startup Urban Airship, is under investigation for sexual assault." The rest was gratuitous detail.
The Oregonian, of course, has been burned repeatedly on sexual assault stories, getting scooped on the Bob Packwood and Neil Goldschmidt scandals. And one could argue that Kveton is a quasi public figure, a symbol of Portland's booming software economy. The fact remains that the story was utterly sensational — and something of a hatchet job since Kveton has yet to be arrested, much less convicted.
Urban Airship: After the Oregonian story was published, the company released a statement that the investigation was a personal matter for Kveton. That messaging changed yesterday, when Urban Airship announced that new chief financial officer, Mike Temple, will take over as interim CEO. In a letter to employees, Kveton also revealed that he had been planning to exit the company for several months and said that a search for a new CEO has been underway for "a few weeks," the Portland Business Journal reported.
Although the situation can't be pleasant for Urban Airship's 164 employees, the company will likely survive these allegations unscathed. Urban Airship attracted $46 million in venture funding this last year alone...from the likes of True Ventures, The Foundry Group and August Capital, plus investments from Intel and Verizon.
Portland's tech community: Kveton is the second Portland tech executive to face sexual assault allegations in the past year. Whether this will be a wake up call for the city's young, brash and male-dominated software leadership remains to be seen.
It may also be a wake up call for civic boosters. To be sure, software companies are creating jobs, investing in the local economy and revitalizing the urban landscape.
But as tech companies become an increasingly powerful force, Portland business and government leaders should pay attention to the protests targeting software companies in San Francisco, where tech executives, and their employees, are viewed as arrogant, entitled - and destroyers of the community fabric. See Nathan Heller's latest New Yorker article: San Francisco vs the Tech Industry: The tech industry made the Bay Area rich. Why do so many residents hate it?
Scott Kveton: Stories about powerful men and sexual assault invariably have the same ending. And Kveton will likely rise from the ashes, no matter what the outcome. Still, his story begs a more literary interpretation. Five years ago, Kveton was unemployed; he launched Urban Airship with the help of the Oregon Self Employment Assistance Program, designed to give the unemployed the option of starting their own business instead of hunting for a new job. His star rose quickly — perhaps too quickly.
Hubris: it's a disease that can topple executives and companies alike.
