Fri, Nov. 21, 6:45 PM
- Ethanol and other biofuel groups are declaring victory, as the EPA today said a decision to finalize blending requirements for 2014 - first proposed more than a year ago - has been delayed.
- The delay gives hope to ethanol producers that the EPA will rethink how it proposes the annual biofuels levels; the draft 2014 biofuels levels were much lower than the ethanol industry wanted.
- Oil company lobbyists opposed to the law say the idea of setting a retroactive quota shows the EPA is incapable of managing the program; the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, which represents energy companies, plans to sue the EPA for failing to issue the 2014 requirements.

Tue, Nov. 18, 3:31 PM
- Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Mehta is optimistic about oil refiner stocks, resuming the group at Attractive, adding Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) to the firm's conviction list and awarding Buy ratings to Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) and Delek US (NYSE:DK).
- Metha believes refiners are one of the few energy sectors that can grow cash flow in a declining crude price environment, given industry economics are driven more by crude spreads than the directional oil price; he sees an average upside of 25% for refiners during the next six months.
- Despite the overall sector optimism, Mehta thinks investors should sell CVR Energy (NYSE:CVI) and Alon USA Energy (NYSE:ALJ), which have more exposure to the Permian Basin, where the difference in price vs. the WTI benchmark should get smaller.
Wed, Nov. 12, 2:49 PM

- Despite a confirmation from both Venezuela's president and finance minister this past month saying that Citgo will not sell its U.S. refining unit, potential buyers have recently visited its refinery in Illinois and have shown interest in its Texas unit, Reuters reports.
- It is unclear if Citgo's owner, Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA, will go ahead with a sale, but Lazard, the investment bank hired by Citgo to carry out the sale, is still marketing the refinery.
- Potential bidders include, Reliance Industries (OTC:RLNIY), PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF), Tesoro (NYSE:TSO), Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX), Koch Industries and Chevron (NYSE:CVX).
Thu, Nov. 6, 6:27 PM
- The Chevron-Phillips 66 (CVX, PSX) joint venture is considering adding another expansion to its Baytown, Tex., plant, joining a wave of other petrochemical companies scrambling to take advantage of cheap raw materials unleashed by the U.S. shale boom.
- The JV company, which is already building a $6B expansion at the same Cedar Bayou plant, this week said it is studying how to further increase the plant's capacity.
- Rather than build a new unit, the JV is studying the possibility of boosting polyalphaolefins capacity by one-fifth to 58K metric tons/year by adding improvements to make the existing plant more efficient; the potential cost of the expansion has not been disclosed.
Wed, Oct. 29, 9:15 AM
- Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) +1.3% premarket as Q3 earnings more than doubled amid lower crude oil prices and a widening of the differential between U.S. and international oil prices in the quarter.
- PSX's refining segment swung to a $558M profit from a year-ago loss of $30M, as margins strengthened; a record 95% of the company's U.S. crude slate was advantaged in Q3, compared with 93% in Q2.
- Earnings in PSX's chemicals segment, which includes its interest in Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., rose 14% to $299M despite unplanned downtime related to an ethylene outage at the Port Arthur plant stemming from a fire in July.

- Phillips 66 (PSX +0.5%) says it has formed a joint venture with Energy Transfer Partners (ETP +0.3%) to build a pipeline that will transport 450K bbl/day of North Dakota Bakken crude oil to the U.S. Midwest.
- PSX will become a 25% partner in the project, with ETP holding the rest, and each company will pay a proportionate cost of the construction.
- The Dakota Access Pipeline will deliver more than 450K bbl/day to the Midwest, and the Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline will carry oil from Patoka, Ill., to south Texas.
- Both pipelines are expected to be online by the end of 2016.
Thu, Oct. 23, 10:54 AM
- Cenovus Energy (CVE +6.1%) opens strong after Q3 earnings slip 4% but beat expectations, and cash flow climbed 6% on higher oil sands production and stronger natural gas prices.
- CVE says cash flow reached C$985M (US$876M), or C$1.30/share, but the improvement was partly offset by weaker crude prices and lower refined product output.
- Refining operating cash flow fell 53% due to an unplanned coker outage in July at its Borger refinery in Texas and a planned turnaround at the Wood River refinery in Illinois; CVE owns a 50% stake in the two U.S. refineries operated by Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX).
- CVE, which co-owns the Foster Creek and Christina Lake oil sands projects with ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), says its total oil production rose 13% to ~199K bbl/day, driven by a 23% jump in oil sands production to ~125K bbl/day.
Wed, Oct. 22, 4:42 PM
- Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE:PSXP) agrees to acquire from Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) two newly constructed crude oil rail unloading facilities, located in N.J. and Wash., for $330M, plus certain assets associated with the Cross-Channel Connector Pipeline for an additional $10M.
- The project is expected to have $12.4M of additional capital costs and is underwritten by long-term transportation service agreements with multiple shippers.
- The pipeline system will have an initial capacity of up to 180K bbl/day and is anticipated to begin commercial operations in Q2 2015.
Tue, Oct. 14, 6:57 PM
- Refiners implore Pres. Obama to remain firm on plans to scale back renewable fuel quotas for 2014, warning that if the administration gives in to Corn Belt demands for higher mandates, it could cause gasoline prices to spike.
- The EPA last year proposed cutting the amount of renewable fuel required for 2014 to 15.2B gallons, ~3B gallons below the amount prescribed in federal statutes, including up to 13B gallons from traditional corn-based ethanol and 2.2B gallons of advanced biofuels.
- But administration officials have hinted they could boost the final targets, justified in part because gasoline consumption has also risen since the proposal was first unveiled last year.
- Among signers of a letter to Obama were Valero (NYSE:VLO) CEO Joseph Gorder and Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) CEO Gregory Goff.
Tue, Oct. 7, 3:23 PM
- Amid today's sea of red in stocks, oil refinery names are enjoying gains thanks to a bullish note from Citi analyst Faisel Khan, who upgraded the sector along with some individual refiner stocks, including Phillips 66 (PSX +0.7%) and HollyFrontier (HFC +1%).
- Khan says PSX is positioning itself to become the "premier hydrocarbon logistics provider on the Gulf Coast," and he sees the refiner's midstream assets generating $2.3B in EBITDA by 2018; Khan upgrades shares to Buy from Neutral.
- HFC also is upgraded to Buy from Neutral by Khan, who thinks HFC's balance sheet should allow it to pursue various acquisitions and that it has the mechanisms in place to generate $700M-$800M in discretionary cash flow over the next two years.
- Khan also upgraded CVR Refining (CVRR +0.8%) and Alon USA Partners (ALDW +5%) to Buy, raised his price target for Marathon Petroleum (MPC +0.6%) and reiterated his positive outlook for Valero Energy (VLO +1%).
Thu, Oct. 2, 2:48 PM
- RBC Capital Markets' energy analyst Brad Heffer names Marathon Petroleum (MPC -1.3%) as his top pick, and starts coverage of Tesoro (TSO -0.5%) and Valero (VLO -0.4%) at Outperform, but the stocks are lower as oil prices tumble again.
- Heffer says MPC's refinery portfolio is well positioned, with leverage to both cheap inland crude in the Midwest and Gulf coast export markets, and the recent Hess acquisition presents a big opportunity to increase retail value going forward; MPC is still early in the drop-down cycle, and it will continue to provide shareholders with solid cash returns going forward.
- TSO is a strong operator in a tough California market, RBC says, who expects synergies from the BP acquisition to continue to improve margins, while VLO is the refiner best positioned to take advantage of Gulf Coast crude spreads, which the firm sees widening substantially in H2 2015 and into 2016.
- Phillips 66 (PSX -1.7%) and HollyFrontier (HFC -0.7%) are rated Sector Perform.
Wed, Oct. 1, 3:26 PM
- U.S. refineries lowered the crude oil they processed by the most in eight months, to 16M bbl/day and down 3.8% from the previous week, as plants began normal seasonal maintenance.
- Plants typically schedule maintenance in September and October when units move from maximizing gasoline output to producing winter fuels.
- Examples: Maintenance has begun at Total's (NYSE:TOT) 225K bbl/day Port Arthur, Tex., refinery, Phillips 66's (NYSE:PSX) Lake Charles refinery is conducting planned maintenance, and Motiva Enterprises' Norco, La., refinery began planned work this week.

Rebuke communism's evil past? Nyet.
The speaker of Russia's Parliament snubbed a call by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe for former Communist countries to reassess their repressive histories and to "condemn them without any ambiguity."
On Wednesday, the assembly, which represents legislators from European countries, called for governments to confront their nations' former policies of starvation, mass executions and concentration camps. Yesterday, Boris Gryzlov, the Russian speaker, labeled the statement "a waste of energy and time" and a "crusade against ghosts of the past."

Miami Heat Index: Michael Jordan
Teammate of MJ and LeBron on three-peat
November, 13, 2013
By Michael Wallace
Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE/Getty ImagesScott Williams and Michael Jordan stood shoulder to shoulder during their NBA Finals win in 1993.
MIAMI -- Very few on the planet can offer the kind of unique perspective Scott Williams holds in comparing the greatness of Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
As one of only three players in NBA history to spend a season as a teammate of Jordan and James at one point during their respective careers, Williams carries a bit of credibility when he suggests the Miami Heat star forward is on the cusp of matching Jordan's run of three straight titles.
"The aspect of LeBron that's similar to Michael is that he will carry this team," Williams said of James' chances of leading the Heat to a third consecutive championship this season. "I expect big things from them this year."
Coincidentally, the Heat's next challenge comes Friday against the last team to beat them in a playoff series: the Dallas Mavericks. Miami has won eight consecutive postseason series since losing to Dallas in the 2010-11 Finals during James' first season with the Heat.
In an interview with ESPN.com, Williams said James is armed with just as much skill as Jordan had and is surrounded by the same level of talent and coaching leadership the Bulls had during their dynasty in the 1990s.
Williams, now an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks, was a reserve center with Jordan's Bulls during their first run of three straight titles, from 1991-93. Williams then spent the final season of his 15-year career in Cleveland in 2004-05, which was James' second year in the league.

Garrett Ellwood/NBAE/Getty ImagesLeBron James in 2004, when Scott Williams was capping off his career in Cleveland.
Jerry Stackhouse and Larry Hughes were the only two other players to have appeared in games as teammates of Jordan and James, but they partnered with Jordan when he was well past his prime with the Washington Wizards.
Williams' comments came after James scored 33 points in just three quarters of play during the Heat's 118-95 victory over the Bucks on Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena. James has long been compared to Jordan by NBA players, coaches and league analysts. Those debates will gain even more steam this season as the Heat try to become just the fourth franchise in NBA history to win three titles in a row.
The Heat are off to a sluggish start at 5-3 and have played with inconsistent effort defensively despite also possessing the most efficient offense in the league through two weeks. James has also been slowed by recurring back spasms since the middle of the Heat's training camp last month.
Williams said James has developed the kind of will and determination he saw Jordan display after tasting a title. Williams' best season with the Bulls came during their third championship season, in 1992-93, when he played in 71 games, made five starts and averaged 5.9 points and 6.4 rebounds the year Chicago defeated Phoenix in the Finals.
"I played with both of those guys, and they're very competitive people, on and off the court," Williams said of James and Jordan. "They have a passion and desire that a lot of superstars have, but theirs is at a level that separates them from the rest of the greats you've seen in the game."
That's enough, Williams said, for James to drive the Heat through stretches of lethargic and inconsistent play that hit successful teams, which know the ultimate judgment doesn't come until the survive-and-advance point of the season.
"It's just a long grind, and you have to be able to understand that and manage that, mentally and physically," Williams said. "It takes a toll on the body and the mind. It's hard to ramp it back up at the start. [The Heat] will fight some of that, but they're a good squad and well coached."
While Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has aggressively challenged his players to show more effort and energy, Williams said he remembers times in Chicago when master motivator Phil Jackson also had to dig deep for inspiration.
But Williams said Jackson's voice never really grew stale.
"I won't say that, because he had veteran coaches with him -- Jim Cleamons, Johnny Bach and Tex Winter," Williams said. "And he knew how to rely on those guys to let them do a fair amount of coaching, so his voice would stay fresh. Plus, there were veterans like John Paxson, Jordan and Bill Cartwright. So it was really kind of the perfect blend."
The Heat's balance around James is also similar to Jordan's cast. An established rotation and defined roles allowed the Bulls to navigate through the dog days of the regular season.
"I think there was always a part of us that knew we could turn it up when it really mattered," Williams said. "So, yeah, teams go through that, fall victim to a little bit of human nature. We were battled tested and knew we played playoff basketball better than everybody else. Everyone knew their role and everyone had a part to play for us."
The Bulls team that chased their first three-peat had a 10-game drop-off from their second championship season and won just 57 games. They also watched a determined Knicks team, then coached by Pat Riley, run through the East during the regular season. Meanwhile, the Heat have seen the point-to-prove Indiana Pacers jump out to an 8-0 start with sights set on the No. 1 seed after losing Game 7 of the conference finals last season in Miami.
Eventually, the ultimate success comes down to finding that spark at the right moment, staying relatively healthy and following the lead of the greatest player in the game.
And then trusting his talent and instincts.
Then, it was Jordan.
Now, it's James.
"He's at the top of his game right now, and he's got guys around him like Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, [Shane] Battier, who are multitalented," Williams said. "They spread the floor, move the ball and play the right way. And, really, that's how you get it done. That's how we did it."
Would Michael Jordan have done that?
June, 9, 2011

Comparing LeBron James and Michael Jordan in the Finals may not be an honest exercise.
One of the most prevalent statements we've heard in the wake of LeBron James's Game 4 stinkbomb is this:
Michael Jordan would have never done that.
It's been thrown around as a declarative statement of fact, that His Airness would have never scored just eight points in a Finals game.
And it's true, Jordan has never scored just eight points in a Finals game.
But to say that Jordan wasn't vulnerable to a stinkbomb like James' performance is classic revisionist history. As surprising as it is to some, Jordan failed. Many times. He had imperfections on the basketball court, because he is human. He lost 11 Finals games in his career, but judging from the conversation over the past few days, Jordan never let someone beat him. That, of course, is a false narrative.
Jordan has played in 35 Finals games. Here are his averages during those games: 33.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.8 turnovers, and 48.1 percent shooting. Those are, without a doubt, monster numbers. He scored more than 40 points six times. He scored fewer than 25 points four times. And amazingly, he scored fewer than 22 points zero times.
That's right, Jordan's lowest scoring output in the Finals is 22 points. Looking strictly at the scoring column, Jordan never suffered a game quite like James' Game 4.
But Jordan did endure some bad games -- you just have to look past the scoring column to see it. Here are Jordan's five worst shooting games of his Finals career (keep in mind LeBron shot 3-for-11 [27 percent] in Game 4).
What we see here is that even at Jordan's worst, he still managed to score 22 points. But look at those shot totals.
19. 19. 26. 28. 27.
When Jordan didn't have it going, that didn't stop him from shooting the ball. In fact, Jordan averaged 26.4 field goal attempts per game in the Finals. That's an incredible figure by an incredible player. And James? He has shot more than 26 times in a game just once in this entire playoffs. James is averaging 14 field goal attempts in this Finals. You know what Jordan's career-low field goal attempts were in a Finals game? Fourteen -- that's his lowest.
Every time we compare this James to that Jordan, we're reminded of an essential detail:
Jordan had the license, ability and desire to shoot 26 times per game; James does not.
And this is the big elephant in the room. James and Jordan are different players playing in very different situations in very different eras. They are both great -- both all-time greats. But Jordan didn't have Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on his team, begging for 32 shots every game. And Jordan will probably maintain that he wouldn't want them anyway. He wanted the ball every time down the court and we have deified him for that. That's part of made him the best basketball player to ever play the game.
There is no denying that James stunk up the joint in Game 4 when he shot just 3-for-11. But the real reason Jordan would have never scored just eight points in a Finals game is because he would have never taken just 11 shots from the floor like James did.
Because Jordan is not James, and James is not Jordan.
MJ vs. LeBron: What the stats say
May, 27, 2011
By Tom Haberstroh

How does the 26-year-old LeBron James stack up with the 26-year-old Michael Jordan?
Scottie Pippen joined ESPN's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" on Friday and did what has been done a million times since LeBron James graced the cover of Sports Illustrated as "The Chosen One" back in 2002:
He compared LeBron to Michael.
But Pippen also did what has been done maybe only once: he said LeBron may be better.
Key word: may.
The exact quote:
Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game, but I may go as far as to say that LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he's so potent offensively that not only can he score at will, but he keeps everybody involved and you have to be on your P's and Q's on defense because no guy on the basketball court is not a threat to score when LeBron James is out there.
It's interesting to hear Jordan's longtime teammate say that the reason LeBron may be superior is that "he keeps everybody involved."
Is Pippen right?
Is Jordan a better scorer than LeBron? Probably. Is LeBron a better distributor? Probably. Does that make LeBron a better player than Jordan?
Now, that's where we need some help.
Let's put Pippen's assertion to the test.
If we're doing an honest evaluation, we need to grade LeBron and Jordan on the same age curve. Let's compare LeBron's statistical profile to Jordan's statistical profile through their age-26 season.
Here, we see that LeBron and Jordan are similar ballplayers in the sense that they score a lot points, they grab rebounds and distribute the ball. Jordan looks to be the superior scorer. He scores more points per game and scores more efficiently, with 3-pointers being the only shooting area in which Jordan doesn't have a leg up on James.
And depending on how you look at it, Jordan was the better shot creator, or he was a bigger ball hog. Jordan shot 23.4 field goal attempts per game and used more possessions while on the floor (USG tells us his usage rate, which is the estimated percentage of team possessions used either via field goal attempt, free throw attempt or turnover).
In the playoffs, Jordan asserted himself more than LeBron. Jordan raised his usage rate to 35.5 percent while LeBron's role grew only marginally in the playoffs (from 31.8 percent to 32.1 percent). But the fact Jordan remained efficient while taking more responsibility indicates that he was creating good shots as opposed to hijacking the offense for himself.
But if we use assists as a measuring stick, LeBron is the better passer at this point. Both LeBron's assists per game and his assist rate (as a percentage of total possessions) rank superior to Jordan's. That's not a total surprise, but the gap is smaller than one might think in the playoffs on a per-game level (7.0 to 6.7).
Overall? Looks like Jordan has him beat through age-26. While it's not the end-all-be-all, Jordan's player efficiency rating (PER) is decidedly better. Using other all-in-one metrics like win shares, we find a similar story: Jordan was overall more valuable according to these catch-all measures.
Forget earlier in their career, is LeBron better than Jordan was at 26 years old?
Let's take a look:
Here, we see a similar story: Jordan's better, and more of a scorer. Statistically, it's worth noting that LeBron's numbers are warped because of his star teammates this season. If, for example, we use LeBron's 2009-10 season as a comparison, it actually looks quite favorable compared to Jordan. But then we're just jumping around all over the place.
One of the big takeaways here is that Jordan did not have to share the ball with Pippen. Or at least, not nearly to the same degree that James has to share with Dwyane Wade ... and then add Chris Bosh to that mix.
When Jordan was in the playoffs during his age-26 season in 1989-1990, he took 26.6 field goal attempts per game. Scottie Pippen that playoffs? 14.0 shots per game. Horace Grant didn't take even 10 shots per game. By comparison, Wade and Bosh have taken 17.7 and 13.3 shots per game, respectively.
So when we compare Jordan and James at age 26, we have to be cognizant of their surroundings and contexts. Additionally, Jordan played in a time when it was more physical for perimeter players because there was no hand-checking rule. So there's that, too, and it's no small thing.
When we look at the assists, Jordan actually has the upper hand when he was in the playoffs. So at this moment, after watching LeBron here in the playoffs, Scottie Pippen is claiming that LeBron may be the better distributor and a better creator for his teammates when, in fact, Jordan at this age was dropping more dimes than LeBron in the playoffs. Of course, James was tallying more assists in Cleveland during the playoffs when he had the ball in his hands almost exclusively. So that's worth keeping in mind.
Another way to look at this would be to compare how LeBron's teammates fare on and off the court with LeBron, and then see what Jordan's teammates looked like. If Jordan racked up assists and made his teammates play better, then he has a solid case that he was just as good of a distributor as LeBron is right now. Unfortunately, we don't have that data at the moment, but the stat geeks out there would love to get their hands on some on-court/off-court data to tease out some of the subtle aspects of the game.
In the end, Pippen's right: LeBron may be the greatest player ever to play the game. His story isn't over yet. He has the size, the athleticism and the tools to get there. But statistically, Jordan is the better scorer and the passing gap isn't great enough to say that LeBron matches Jordan at this juncture in their basketball lifetimes.
They're both great.
The thing is, LeBron has completely overhauled his reputation in a matter of weeks.
We're learning now that as soon as we think we have a handle on James, he decides to write his own chapter in history.
It's worth keeping in mind that Jordan didn't win his first title until his was 28 years old.
LeBron is 26 years old now.
What will be his next chapter?
LeBron, MJ and legacies
March, 16, 2011
By Kevin Arnovitz
Professor Yago Colas' Basketball Culture 101 course at the University of Michigan continues to deliver thoughtful discussion. At Hoopism, Matt Gordon has been documenting his experience as a student in the class.
In studying Michael Jordan's persona and legacy, Gordon "was struck by how greatly perception and memory differ from reality." Gordon recently read Sam Smith's "The Jordan Rules," which chronicles a rocky, contentious 1990-91 Bulls season, which ultimately ends in a championship. Attending the 20th anniversary celebration of that team at the United Center recently, Gordon watched a harmonious fraternity of former Bulls being cheered, basking in the glow of the Chicago's collective memory. None of the pettiness, personal rivalries and ugly episodes from 1990-91 were present.
This scene got Gordon thinking: What happens if the Heat win a championship? How much will the public forget about "The Decision" and the various "-gates" that have marked time during this core's first season with the Heat? Will those who hate LeBron James forgive him for what they perceive to be his personal failings? Does winning spawn revisionism?
At TrueHoop, Henry Abbott points out that Jordan's narrative was spun by a few select news outlets, whereas LeBron's story plays out daily in the guerrilla media. His elbow has a Twitter feed. Hit pieces on LeBron circulate on YouTube. The public is consulted every time he makes a flip remark in his pregame availability. When he thumbs his nose at Dan Gilbert, we grade him on his form.
James doesn't deserve any sympathy because he plays basketball in the digital age, but it's unlikely the current landscape will allow him to cultivate a legacy as pure as Jordan's.
We don't do purity anymore. Our world is decidedly more gray, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

For all the Miami Heat "haters" right now, you must understand that if they win a championship (let alone several) none of this in-season nonsense about crying will be remembered, let alone the now infamous "Decision." If you are a marketable star and win an NBA championship, all else falls by the wayside. The easiest way to learn about the present is to look at the past -- when Kobe is long gone do you think people will remember his rant about getting Andrew Bynum traded or his intense competitiveness and stack of titles? We remember those that win. Obviously, "The Decision" will never be forgotten, especially not in Cleveland, but if the Heat win a title -- "The Decision" instantly becomes a footnote to Champion.

Thousands and thousands of people demanding climate justice – That is our Task
By Sara Mersha
June 23rd, 2011
G20-Agriculture: Hundreds of organizations say STOP farm land grabbing
Grassroots International joined nearly 500 other organizations around the world in signing the "Dakar Appeal Against Land Grabbing." The appeal, originally drafted at the World Social Forum in Dakar in February 2011, calls upon governments to immediately cease all massive land grabs and return the plundered land to communities.
Indigenous Farmers Hostage in Guatemala -- Economically and Literally
In this third blog of the Field Notes series, Grassroots' Program Coordinator for Latin America Saulo Araújo analyzes the situation in which Guatemala's indigenous Mayans are facing fear and despair in their own land. Saulo is currently visiting partners and ally organizations in Central America.
When they heard about the work opportunity in another town, the peasants didn't hesitate. Within just a few days, they left home to work for Otto Salguero, a wealthy cattle rancher who reportedly had jobs for all of them. After endless hours on a bus, the men showed up to work – hard work – but together they slowly and steadily adjusted to it.
Central America Peasant School teaches us lessons
This blog is part of a series of blogs that Grassroots' Latin America Program Coordinator, Saulo Araújo will be posting during his site visit to Central America. Through the "Field Notes" blogs, Saulo will share contextual analysis and information from partners and allies.
We Are the Solution: Celebrating African Family Agriculture!
According to Grassroots International ally Fahamu, "Agriculture… remains the main source of income of a rural population generally estimated at 70% of the total population… [W]omen remain an essential link in agricultural production, accounting for 70% of food production, managing nearly 100% of processing activities, responsible for about 50% of the maintenance of the family herds and also responsible for some 60% of sales activities in the markets." Any solutions to the problems of African agriculture, therefore, must include women. In fact, African women are saying, "We Are the Solution."
"Pourquoi la campagne": Via Campesina Africa launches Campaign to End Violence against Women at 2011 World Social Forum in Dakar
In 2008, I was privileged to attend the 5th international conference of Grassroots International partner the Via Campesina, in Matola, Mozambique. The Via, a global movement representing over 150 million peasants and other small producers on 5 continents, has been the leading voice for the rights of small farmers and farmworkers as well as other small producers and has led global campaigns for agrarian reform, against free trade and for climate justice. At its 2008 conference, however, it launched another global campaign that a lot of people don't yet know about. This is the Global Campaign to End Violence against Women.

Setting the Standard for Global Resource Rights Defense
The United Nations designates December 10 as International Human Rights Day. At Grassroots International, we give special recognition to the efforts of our partners and allies around the world—but for them, it's just another day in the trenches to realize these rights as communities in action.
From the Middle East to Latin America and the Caribbean to Africa and Asia, our partners engage in determined struggles for resource rights—the human rights to land, water, and food. Despite enormous obstacles like land grabs, poisoned water, and decreased access to local food, our partners build local solutions to solve problems from the bottom up.

Protests Mark One Year Anniversary of Iraq War
A year ago tonight the U.S. invasion of Iraq began. To mark the anniversary scores of protests throughout the world are scheduled tomorrow as part of a global day of protest against war.
France: "The Iraq War Hasn't Led to a More Stable World."
In France French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin told the French newspaper Le Monde today that "the Iraq war hasn't led to a more stable world."
Poland: We Were Mislead Over Iraq WMDs
And a day before the anniversary the president of Poland Aleksander Kwasniewski said that he felt he was mislead about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. But unlike other countries including Spain and Honduras, Poland said it had no plans to pull its troops out of Iraq.
Arab Journalists Protest U.S. Killing
Meanwhile Secretary of State Colin Powell landed in Baghdad to mark the one year anniversary. This morning more than 20 Arab journalists walked out of a Powell press conference in Iraq protesting the death of two Iraqi journalists from the Arabic news channel Al-Arabiya who were allegedly killed by the US Thursday. According to the station, one of their cameramen and correspondents witnessed a car accident between a U.S. vehicle and an Iraqi. Fearing a car bombing, they ran from the scene and were shot. The U.S. claimed it killed only one person when he tried to run through a check point. Meanwhile in Northern Iraq three Iraq journalists were killed by gunmen. They had been working for a TV station funded by the U.S.-led coalition.
Gen. Garner: Fired Because He Opposed Privatization
In other Iraq news, the BBC is reporting the Bush administration fired General Jay Garner from overseeing the Iraq occupation last year because he advocated for free elections and rejected privatizing Iraqi industries. He told the BBC "My preference was to put the Iraqis in charge as soon as we can, and do it with some form of elections ... I just thought it was necessary to rapidly get the Iraqis in charge of their destiny."
Pakistani Closes In On Al Qaeda Suspects
In Pakistan near the Afghanistan border, thousands of Pakistani soldiers–with US help–have launched an offensive against a large group of suspected Al Qaeda members who are cornered in an isolated mountaneous region. The US has worked with the Pakistani forces by supplying Predator drones and U2 spy planes. On Thursday Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said his troops had ringed a "high-value target." The U.S. is hoping the target is Ayman al-Zawahri, a top member of Al Qaeda, but there is little hard evidence he is there. Zawahri is believed to be Osama Bin Laden's spiritual advisor and doctor as well as the architect of Al Qaeda's ideology. The US has offered a $25 million reward for his capture. Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, the House doubled its reward for capturing Osama bin Laden to $50 million.
U.S. Increases Ties to Pakistan
News of the possible capture came Thursday just hours after Secretary of State Colin Powell announced in Pakistan that the U.S. has upgraded Pakistan to "major non-NATO ally" status. This will make it easier for the country to buy U.S. made weapons.
Scalia Refuses To Recuse Himself from Cheney Case
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia issued a 21-page memo Thursday saying he would not recuse himself in a case involving Vice President Cheney. Scalia had come under intense criticism after it was revealed he went duck hunting with Cheney at a time the court was deciding whether it should force Cheney to make public the minutes from his energy task force meetings. Scalia wrote "A rule that required Members of this Court to remove themselves from cases in which the official actions of friends were at issue would be utterly disabling."
GOP Calls For Ginsburg to Recuse Herself from Abortion Cases
Meanwhile 13 Republican members of Congress are now asking Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to withdraw from all future cases related to abortion because she has spoken at events sponsored by the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund.
McCain Defends Kerry Record on Defense
In campaign news, Republican Senator John McCain broke with party ranks to defend Senator John Kerry's record on defense. McCain said "I do not believe that he is, quote, 'weak on defense. This kind of rhetoric, I think, is not helpful in educating and helping the American people make a choice." Despite the comment, McCain said he is still supporting Bush. On Wednesday Vice President Cheney said "The senator from Massachusetts has given us ample doubts about his judgment and the attitude he brings to bear on vital issues of national security."
Taiwan's President & VP Shot At Rally
In Taiwan, the country's president and vice president were both shot just hours before the country goes to the polls. The two were campaigning together in an open-air motorcade. The President Chen Shui-bian was shot in the stomach and his Vice President Annette Lu was shot in the knee. Both were hospitalized and then released. Sunday's election is expected to proceed. In addition to choosing a president voters will be asked if China should reduce its military threat against the island.

ROME (Reuters) - Antonio Cassano is ready to grab his chance of a World Cup place after two years in the international wilderness, and wants to bring another Serie A veteran with him - former AS Roma teammate Francesco Totti.
"Checco (Francesco) is phenomenal. Even at 37, 38 years old he's scary to play against. I would pick him every time," Cassano said in an interview with the Corriere Dello Sport.
In-form Parma forward Cassano played with Roma's ageing captain and talisman for five years between 2001 and 2006, before being sold to Real Madrid.
"I don't want problems with (Italy coach Cesare) Prandelli. I don't want to pick the team myself ... but pick Totti. Spain, England, whoever we play we will play, but they will all have something else to worry about (with Totti in the squad). And that means a lot."
Prandelli opened the door to Cassano this week for the first time since the 2012 European Championship because of the 31-year-old's form for high-flying Parma.
Cassano's 11 league goals and outstanding play has been key to his side's rise to sixth place in Serie A after a 16-match unbeaten run, and they will find themselves in a Europa League spot should they beat Genoa on Sunday (1130 GMT).
The teams directly above them, Inter Milan and Fiorentina, play later in the day.
"After the European Championship we wanted to look forward. Cassano was 30 years old and we thought that other players would develop," Prandelli said on Wednesday.
"If these players have not developed as we had hoped and a player is playing better at 32 than he did at 30, then why not (select him)?"
Prandelli was less enthusiastic about selecting Totti, who at 37 years old is still proving himself to be hugely important to second-placed Roma as they redevelop under coach Rudi Garcia.
"Let's leave him alone for now. The last time we spoke about him he ended up injuring himself," Prandelli said.
"It's a great pleasure to know that one of the best players of the post-war period is still offering the national team coach the chance to think about picking him.
"He said himself that he will decide (about playing for Italy) only after being sure of his physical condition.
"It's not only a technical question: from that point of view you can't attack Totti. But his age is what it is, and even if he's showing that he can keep up with the pace (of Serie A), Brazil will ask something more."
Cassano has been outspoken in the past, and his weight has also drawn criticism. But recently he has eliminated his public outbursts and lost 10 kilograms, prompting Prandelli to consider one of Italian football's most controversial characters on the basis of what he does on the pitch rather than off it.
"I heard what he said and I have to thank him. Now I know that the door is open," Cassano said.
"I'm a player that has had and thrown away a lot of opportunities, and I've always been that way. But now I want to think less about what has been and more about the present. The present is what I would like to have - the World Cup."

GPS carrier phase ambiguity fixing concepts
ABSTRACT High precision relative GPS positioning is based on the very precise career phase measurements. A prerequisite for obtaining high precision relative positioning results, is that the double-differenced carrier phase ambiguities become sufficiently separable from the baseline coordinates. Different approaches are in use and have been proposed to ensure a sufficient separability between these two groups of parameters. In particular, the approaches that explicitly aim at resolving the integer-values of the double-differenced ambiguities have been very successful. Once the integer ambiguities are successfully fixed, the carrier phase measurements will start to act as if they were high-precision pseudorange measurements, thus allowing for a baseline solution with a comparable high precision. The fixing of the ambiguities on integer values is however a non-trivial problem, in particular if one aims at numerical efficiency. This topic has therefore been a rich source of GPS-research over the last decade or so. Starting from rather simple but timeconsuming integer rounding schemes, the methods have evolved into complex and effective algorithms. Among the different approaches that have been proposed for cartier phase ambiguity fixing are those documented in Counselman and Gourevitch [1981], Remondi [1984;1986;1991], Hatch [1986; 1989; 1991], Hofmann-WeUenhof and Remondi [1988], Seeber and Wtibbena [1989], Blewitt [1989], Abott et al. [1989], Frei and Beutler [1990], Euler and Goad [1990], Kleusberg [1990], Frei [1991], Wiibbena [1991], Euler and Landau [1992], Erickson [1992], Goad [1992], Teunissen [1993a; 1994a, b], Hatch and Euler [1994], Mervart et al. [1994], De Jonge and Tiberius [1994], Goad and Yang [1994]. The purpose of the present lecture notes is to present the theoretical concepts of the GPS ambiguity fixing problem, to formulate procedures of solving it and to outline some of the intricacies involved.

Article: An Improved Approach to Network Ambiguity Validation by Applying Outlier Detection to the Baseline Measurement Errors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: As a prerequisite of network differential global positioning system applications, the network ambiguity must be determined. Ambiguity resolution and validation are important aspects of this process. However, validation theory is still under investigation. This paper presents an improved network ambiguity validation method that incorporates additional knowledge measured from the network. This process involves the detection of outliers of the baseline measurement errors. By breaking the spatial correlation, incorrectly fixed ambiguities cause the corresponding baseline measurement errors to appear as outliers, which may be discovered and identified with the proposed outlier detection algorithm and outlier identification algorithm, respectively. These detection and identification procedures are iteratively performed until all of the wrong baseline ambiguities are corrected. Because the validation procedure is unconnected to the initial integer ambiguity estimation process, any available ambiguity resolution method may be used to obtain the initial integers, without algorithm correction. When the network ambiguity combinations do not pass the validation algorithm, the method uses a direct estimation algorithm to obtain the correct ambiguity. By using a direct estimation algorithm rather than a search process, this new method consumes less computational time than conventional methods. This study compares the performance of this new method with those of the conventional F-ratio and W-ratio test validation algorithms by using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Results from a field experiment conducted on data from the United States continuously operating reference stations (US-CORS) reveal that this validation algorithm accelerates the convergence process of ambiguity determination.Surveys in Geophysics 34(2). · 4.13 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The ambiguity resolution in the field of GPS is investigated in detail. A new algorithm to resolve the ambiguity is proposed. The algorithm first obtains the floating resolution of the ambiguity aided with triple difference measurement. Decorrelation of searching space is done by reducing the ambiguity covariance matrix's dimension to overcome the possible sick factorization of the matrix brought by Z-transformation. In simulation, the proposed algorithm is compared with least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA). The result shows that the proposed algorithm is better than LAMBDA because of lesser resolving time, which approximately reduces 20% resolving time. Thus, the proposed algorithm adapts to the high dynamic real-time applications.Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics 01/2008; 19(6):1090-1096. · 0.38 Impact Factor
