Reading Americans for the Arts' 2013 study on Local Arts Agency Salaries took me back. Way back to 1981 when I took my first position as executive director, and only employee, of a county arts council in North Carolina at what I thought at the time was an incredible sum of $16,000 per year, plus health benefits. Now my parents thought I was crazy for leaving the classroom with its pay (not much more than then LAA job) and benefits. I was still young enough to see the change as a great new adventure. Nearly 30 years later and a wonderful career, I know I made the right decision.
On the plus side, salaries and benefits have come a long way since the early 1980s. On the whole, salaries and benefits are better across the board. Some highly skilled positions demand a higher level of compensation, and rightfully so, than one might expect. For example, Senior Public Art professionals are required to be a planner, have a keen aesthetic/artist eye, project manager, legal negotiator, financial wizard, and more importantly are hard to find. It is right that their compensation levels are rising. I know some of my colleagues still struggle with wages that are not commensurate with their education and skill level or the demands of what we all know can be a 24/7 job. So we shouldn't take the survey results as any more than a snapshot in time and hopefully provide information to help boards and commissions understand how peer agencies are compensating their employees.

Understanding Traceability vs. Certification
A key weakness in a number of recent assessments of progress on certification of conflict minerals in the Great Lakes Region is confusion regarding the concepts of certification and traceability. Certification, in its most broad sense, is about creating the conditions for long-term reform of the governance of mineral sectors. Traceability, while critical, is one small part of this bigger picture. Traceability refers to the use of documented and recorded identification to follow commodities or goods as they move through the supply chain. Ongoing confusion regarding these two concepts has not been helpful, and has more often than not muddied analysis of the progress and impact of efforts in the region.
Transparency Key to Making Mineral Certification Work
A recently published Open Letter from Congolese and international academic and civil society leaders rightly focussed attention on the difficulties facing artisanal mining communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. These communities struggle with the presence of armed groups and public security forces, the governance demands of international actors, and the harsh realities of trying to market the minerals they scratch out from the earth.

Voluntary Transparency Just Doesn't Cut It
When you think about transparency day in and day out, as I do, it is easy to get focused on the nitty gritty – why we need project and country level disclosure of information, what comprises a good definition of 'project' and so on and so forth[1] – and forget about the big picture.
But transparency is not some small thing, some side project; it is at the heart of a troubling development problem: the resource curse. Natural resource development is often accompanied by promises of job creation, new opportunities for local businesses, and increased funds for cash strapped government coffers. Unfortunately, in too many cases, these are empty promises.
Transparency's Trending
The past few weeks of the global transparency campaign have seen a spotlight placed on Canada.
On May 9th, during her pre-recorded video keynote address at the North South Institute's conference Governing Natural Resources for Africa's Development, Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala urged Canada to be a leader in advancing global transparency in the extractive sectors by implementing mandatory disclosure requirements for Canadian extractive companies.
The Fight Against Artisanal Gold Smuggling in Eastern DR Congo
Victor Kangela, PAC Project Coordinator, Kisangani, DRC
For many years, high value minerals have been used by armed groups in the DRC and neighboring countries as sources of funding. Gold is one of the four most sought-after minerals in the DRC and attracts greed and conflict. The lack of a monitoring system for the production and trade of the minerals in eastern DRCongo, leads to transactions via illegal comptoirs and clandestine export to neighboring countries.

What's Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander: Why Transparency Matters
The key findings of a recent World Bank report are not new: Africa's abundant mineral wealth is failing to dent poverty levels, and political elites (sometimes in close association with military men) are benefitting at the expense of ordinary Africans.
The paradox of plenty would appear to be alive and well. But lost in some of the media coverage however, was the Bank's support for revenue transparency and institution building, two critical ingredients of good natural resource governance that lie at the heart of the work PAC does.

Foodies take note. If you are going to throw a farm-to-table birthday bash, this is how to get top marks. A casual, yet unique setting, incredible food (and of course a doughnut bar), plus a few whimsical notes for fun all inspired by Sunday suppers. Ashley Nicole Events planned a fresh get together, including Catering By Design's incredible food, and loads of imagery captured by Rachel Havel.
When it came time to decide a theme for Tom and Nicole's 30th birthday soiree, it was clear that a farm-to-table dinner party was the obvious choice. Both originally being from the Midwest, they wanted to pay tribute to what those beloved "fly over" states bring to the table (pun intended). While farming isn't part of their immediate families' livelihoods, rows of corn and beans and meadows full of cows were an everyday occurrence of their childhoods. They've been in Colorado for the last 4 years, and those memories of running through cornfields and trying their hand unsuccessfully at cow-tipping still play out (albeit differently) in their new home through hikes in the mountains and buying locally whenever they can.
It was also important to Tom and Nicole to create a sense of community and fellowship among our guests, who all came from such opposite parts of their lives. And, they wanted guests to feel welcome and comfortable right from the beginning. So, Gram Paper + Design created an invitation that was not only unique but also warmly invited guests to gather for a dinner party. While Rachel with Rachel Havel Photography documented the party for them, she also mingled with the guests, helping maintain a comfortable and intimate festivity.
The produce, whether enjoyed on a plate prepared by Catering by Design's team or as the décor, became the focus of the entire event. Suspended carrots, tomatoes, onions, radishes and other fresh fruits and vegetables over the dinner tables added height to the perfectly rustic barn at Blanc Denver, a new and pleasantly unexpected venue in downtown Denver. Ashley Nicole Events' team continued the fresh produce from the ceiling to the exposed king tables, accented with bunches of bright, whimsical flowers and greenery and persimmon branches provided by Newberry Brothers, antlers (a nod to Colorado's wilderness) and candles. The king tables and tub chairs from By Design Event Décor contributed to the rustic atmosphere in the barn.
Upon entering through the sliding, metal barn doors for dinner, guests found their seats by locating their names on cheese-knives, wedged into blocks of sharp cheddar cheese from the local dairy in Tom's hometown, Hastings, Minnesota. Each cutting board was hand-written by Ezer Photography with the menu that the guests were about to enjoy. The mismatched, cut-glass stemware, vintage flatware and plates supplied by Chairished Vintage Rentals complemented the overall décor perfectly, reminding Tom and Nicole of the place-settings their grandparents' used for Sunday Suppers.
To quench guests' thirsts, Peak Beverage treated everyone to classic cocktails from the prohibition era. Guests sipped Old fashions, French 75's, Manhattans and Sidecars while lounging on furniture from the homes of the Ashley Nicole Events team. Guests commented on how the chairs looked familiar, and then slowly realized that some of the pieces were from Tom and Nicole's living room. Bringing their "home" into this gorgeous venue unpredictably created a familiar and intimate environment for their guests, who have all spent time in their home in Denver.
The barely-there frosting on the exposed cake by Leaf and Crumb perfectly emulated the rustic surroundings of the venue and guests admired it as a work of art. And, the wood cow, pig and chicken décor from By Design Event Décor was a topic of conversation as it transitioned from a décor piece to a sautéing table for the warm maple, bourbon and brandy butter donuts.
Opposite from the delicious cake stood Tom and Nicole's "market." Perhaps the catalyst for the entire theme, it not only showcased the focal point of the celebration, but it was also the guest favors. Close family members came together to build the wall, and Lighting & Design by Scott illuminated it as the sun set towards the end of the party. As guests departed, they filled large paper bags with produce from Isabelle Farm in Lafayette, Colorado and Rocky Mountain Fresh in Longmont, Colorado.
Tom and Nicole were absolutely astonished by how impactful the market was among their guests. Undoubtedly, guests were thrilled to have their grocery list reduced, especially given that the next morning was the beginning of the workweek. The part that was so unexpected was the extended interaction it created during the rest of the week. Tom and Nicole received texts from guests who were using the berries in a smoothie; phone calls that they were roasting the corn for a salad and baking the kale for chips. People were reaching out for recipes for produce they'd never tried before. Even during the 4-course dinner, guests were exchanging phone numbers and emails to pass along recipes, inspired by some of the produce they were surrounded by.
A subtle emblem of Tom and Nicole's childhood, the farm and its crop is easily identified as the theme of our party. But, the more personal and memorable conclusion is, perhaps, around fellowship. There's no doubt of the strong tie between food and community, and they found it was touching to see how the produce at their party brought the people from all different corners our lives together

Gahgg, leave it there. Freredarme, it's just matter of opinions. BM:S IS a remake of HL in Source, the dream of a heck a lot of people when they saw THE DISASTER hl:s was. Your mod is fine, but I'd rather prefer to play a decent Half Life : Source than a custom story.
BenQ3000, the button is right above my friend list. If you want to add me you're free to do such thing.
I Is Demanding Cookeh! ;) (me trying to be nice? :P)
How can I add someone as a buddy? I simply can't find a button for it :s
I'm not agree with you about 'Black Mesa is better than Wilson Chronicles, I think'.
Black Mesa is a big mod, the remake of Half-Life. Development has begin in 2005. BM have a big team, arround 30 members.
Wilson Chronicles is not a big mod, just a small mod. He will purpose 3 languages (french, english, german). Development was started in 2008 (april).
WC have a little devteam with 4-5 members.. Wilson Chronicles is not a remake, he have original weapons than BM.
Example : first, axe, g36c and more (missing in BM).

Authorities investigate fatal Colorado plane crash
BOULDER, Colo. Investigators plan to talk to other pilots to determine whether they heard any communications between two small planes just before an in-flight collision in Colorado killed all three people on board both planes.
With no black box data, investigators are relying heavily on video, photos and witnesses' testimony to determine what led to the fiery crash Saturday, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Jennifer Rodi said Sunday.
The crash occurred about 1:30 p.m. Saturday near the Boulder Municipal Airport when a southbound Cirrus SR20 collided with a westbound Piper Pawnee that was towing the glider, causing the "immediate disintegration and explosion of both airplanes," Rodi said.
The pilot of the glider was able to cut loose just before the collision and fly to safety.
The Boulder County Coroner's Office said Sunday that 25-year-old Alexander Howard Gilmer of Evergreen, Colo., was the pilot of the Piper Pawnee.
The coroner's office tentatively identified the pilot of the Cirrus as 58-year-old Robert Matthews of Boulder, and the passenger as 56-year-old Mark A. Matthews of Englewood, Colo.
Young Kim said he and his girlfriend were walking out of her condo Saturday when they heard a loud boom.
"We looked up in the sky. We saw a glider and right next to it what looked like a big black ball of fire," he said. "It looked at first like fireworks coming out of it."
His girlfriend, Barb Maiberger, said, "You're going, 'This can't be real.' But it was real, and I knew something was wrong."
Kim started running about a half-mile to the scene. "You could see a big smokestack coming out from the wreckage, and dozens of people running toward the scene hoping to rescue someone. As you got closer, you could actually smell the fumes from the jet fuel," Kim said.
"I was just hoping maybe somebody survived," he said.
Several witnesses have said they saw people plunging from the planes, but Rodi said it's hard to tell whether they saw people or airplane parts falling.
An amateur video shot at the scene showed a plane on fire, floating to the ground trailing thick, black smoke and a parachute. Sheriff's officials said the parachute was designed to deploy if a plane was disabled and was attached to the plane's wreckage, not a person.
The crash spread debris over a 1 1/2 mile region of prairie. No one on the ground was hurt.
Three people were aboard the glider that managed to disconnect from the Piper Pawnee as the Cirrus clipped the tow line, just before the two planes collided, Boulder County sheriff's officials said.
The pilot of the glider was Ruben Bakker, his mother-in-law Deborah Tjarks said. She said he saw the collision about to happen and released the glider and banked but still flew through the flames. Bakker did not return a call for comment.
The single-engine Cirrus left the Boulder airport with two people on board around 12:45 p.m. Saturday and was lost on radar for about 10 minutes, Rodi said.

Supermassive black holes have some interesting properties which distinguish them from relatively low-mass cousins:
The average density of a supermassive black hole can be very low, and may actually be lower than the density of water. This is because the Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to mass, such that density is inversely proportional to the square of the mass.
The tidal forces in the vicinity of the event horizon are significantly weaker. Since the central singularity is so far away from the horizon, a hypothetical astronaut travelling towards the black hole center would not experience significant tidal force until very deep into the black hole.
Black holes of this size can form in several ways. The most obvious is by slow accretion of matter (starting from a black hole of stellar size). Another method of producing a supermassive black hole involves a large gas cloud collapsing into a relativistic star of perhaps a hundred thousand solar masses and up. The star then becomes unstable to radial perturbations due to electron-positron pair production in its core, and may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova. Yet another method involves a dense stellar cluster which undergoes core-collapse as the negative heat capacity of the system drives the velocity dispersion in the core to relativistic speeds. Finally, it may be possible to construct primordial black holes directly from external pressure in the first instances of the Big Bang.
The problem in forming a supermassive black hole is getting enough matter in a small enough volume. This matter needs to have nearly all of its angular momentum removed in order for this to happen. The process of transporting this angular momentum outwards appears to be the constraining factor in black hole growth, and leads to the formation of accretion disks.
Observationally, there currently appears to be a gap in the population distribution of black holes. There are stellar mass black holes, generated from collapsing stars, which range up to perhaps 10 solar masses. The minimal supermassive black hole is in the range of a hundred thousand solar masses. Between these regimes appears to be a dearth of objects. However, some models suggest that ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX's) may be black holes from this missing group.
Direct Doppler measures of water masers surrounding the nucleus of nearby galaxies have revealed a very fast keplerian motion, only possible with a high concentration of matter in the center. Currently, the only known objects that can pack enough matter in such a small space are black holes, or things that will evolve into black holes within astrophysically short timescales. For active galaxies farther away, the width of broad spectral lines can be used to probe the gas orbiting near the event horizon. The technique of reverberation mapping uses variability of these lines to measure the mass, and perhaps the spin of the black hole that powers the active galaxy's "engine".
Such supermassive black holes in the center of many galaxies are thought to be the "engine" of active objects such as Seyfert galaxies and quasars. The Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and UCLA provided evidence that Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole residing at the center of the Milky Way based on data from the ESO[2] and the Keck telescopes. Our galactic central black hole is calculated to have a mass of 3.6 million solar masses.
In May 2004, Paolo Padovani and other leading astronomers announced their discovery of 30 previously-hidden supermassive black holes outside the Milky Way. Their discovery also suggests there are at least twice as many of these black holes as previously thought. It is currently believed that every galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center, with most of them being in an "inactive" state not accreting much matter. In contrast, there do not appear to be black holes in the center of globular clusters.
There appears to be a link between the mass of the supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy and the morphology of the galaxy itself. This manifests as a correlation between the mass of the spheroid (the bulge of spiral galaxies, and the whole galaxy for ellipticals) and the mass of the supermassive black hole. There is an even tighter correlation between the black hole mass and the velocity dispersion of the spheroid. The explanation for this correlation remains an unsolved problem in astrophysics.
Dont be scared

Our Advent theme is:
Watching and waitingThree weeks in which we are encouraged to stay alert to God's purposes in our lives.
A prayer of thanksgiving and reflection
Lord, the plants in our gardens are bare now,as winter is here,but we know it won't be too longbefore little signs of life burst forth.
We acknowledge our barren times –the sadnesses for the things we have lost.We thank you for the memories –for the comfort and hope you bring to us.
We commit to you the new thingsthat will surely come,and we pray that we won't be slowto notice these new shoots,and that you will water them plentifullywith your love.

2002 Academy Awards Interview
Oscar nominations will be out on Feb. 12, but we've seen the future and placed our bets
When the nominations are announced for the 74th annual Academy Awards on February 12, a biography and fantasy are likely to be the front runners for Oscar gold. Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" is riding a high on its four Golden Globe wins (for Best Picture, Actor, Supporting Actress and Screenplay), and Peter Jackson's amazing adaptation of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" is quite simply the race's 800-lb. gorilla -- a viable contender in nearly every catagory except the acting fields, where Ian McKellan is the picture's only probable presence.
Poised for the role of spoiler will be "Moulin Rouge," which is likely to see nods in artistic and technical categories, if not in the major slots (Picture, Director, Acting, Screenplay). And "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will certainly be nominated for something, but in what catagory is anybody's guess. It's just too big to ignore -- which is exactly what I've done in the following predictions. That's why I've mentioned it here -- so I don't look a complete fool.
Here's what we see in our crystal ball...
|Best PICTURE
"A Beautiful Mind"
"Black Hawk Down"
"In the Bedroom"
"Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring"
The Competition:
"Gosford Park"
"Moulin Rouge"
"The Shipping News"
Dark Horses:
"Monster's Ball"
"Mulholland Drive"
"A Beautiful Mind" is the early favorite for the win in March, but the success-conscious Academy may not be able to ignore the "Rings" juggernaut. The real race will be between those two films no matter what else is nominated. "The Shipping News" is a contender, but only because Miramax is once again giving the full court press for a mediocre and forgettable Lasse Hallstrom film, as they did the last two years with "Chocolat" and "Cider House Rules."
|Best DIRECTOR
Ron Howard, "A Beautiful Mind"
Peter Jackson, "Lord of the Rings..."
Ridley Scott, "Black Hawk Down"
Good Bets:
Robert Altman, "Gosford Park"
Baz Luhrmann, "Moulin Rouge"
The Competition:
Todd Field, "In the Bedroom"
Lasse Hallstrom, "The Shipping News"
Dark Horse:
David Lynch, "Mulholland Drive"
There's a good chance we'll see more than one director nominated for films that weren't, but in this category the real race is also between "Mind" and "Rings."
|Best ACTOR
Russell Crowe, "A Beautiful Mind"
Denzel Washington, "Training Day"
Tom Wilkinson, "In the Bedroom"
Good Bets:
Gene Hackman, "The Royal Tenenbaums"
Billy Bob Thornton, "The Man Who Wasn't There"
The Competition:
Benjamin Bratt, "Pinero"
Sean Penn, "I Am Sam"
Will Smith, "Ali"
Kevin Spacey, "The Shipping News"
Dark Horse:
Guy Pearce, "Memento"
Thornton could cancel himself out with his equally brilliant performance in "Monster's Ball." But with or without him the field will be wide open for the win because Oscar voters are unlikely to give the award to Hollywood-dissing Russell Crowe two years running. Although...He is 1) playing a real person, 2) with a mental handicap, and 3) did try to show he can play ball in his Golden Globes speech.
|Best ACTRESS
Halle Berry, "Monster's Ball"
Judi Dench, "Iris"
Nicole Kidman, "The Others"
Sissy Spacek, "In the Bedroom"
Naomi Watts, "Mulholland Drive"
Dark Horses:
Audrey Tautou, "Amélie"
Renee Zellweger, "Bridget Jones's Diary"
The Academy prefers to honor dramatic roles, but after winning the Golden Globe for "Moulin Rouge" there's a chance Kidman could get nominated for that film instead -- or even that she could get two nods or cancel herself out. If she's nominated for "The Others," she's a real contender for the win against Dench, Spacek and Berry. If she's nominated for "Moulin Rouge" instead, she won't be a factor.
|Best SUPPORTING ACTOR
Jim Broadbent, "Iris"
Ben Kingsley, "Sexy Beast"
Jon Voight, "Ali"
Good Bet:
Ian McKellan, "Lord of the Rings..."
Even Money:
Steve Buscemi, "Ghost World"
Dark Horses:
Hayden Christensen, "Life As a House"
Martin Landau, "The Majestic"
Jude Law, "A.I.: Artificial Intelligence"
Tony Shalhoub, "The Man Who Wasn't There"
Kingsley's spectacularly menacing performance in "Sexy Beast" was all the way back in June, and Academy voters have shorter memories than Guy Pearce in "Memento," so odds are on Broadbent after his Golden Globe win.
|Best SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Jennifer Connelly, "A Beautiful Mind"
Kate Winslet, "Iris"
Good Bets:
Cate Blanchett, "The Shipping News"
Judi Dench, "The Shipping News"
Marisa Tomei, "In the Bedroom"
Helen Mirren, "Gosford Park"
Maggie Smith, "Gosford Park"
Dark Horse:
Frances McDormand, "The Man Who Wasn't There"
This is tightest race of the year with the largest field of possible nominees (and too many from the same movies!). Voters will likely take the opportunity to make up for overlooking Connelly's gut-wrenching performance in last year's "Requiem for a Dream," which was too icky for the sensitive constitution of the Academy. But Winslet, Blanchett, Tomei, Miren and Smith are all very strong contenders.
|Best ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
"Gosford Park," Julian Fellowes
"The Man Who Wasn't There," Joel & Ethan Coen
"Memento," Christopher Nolan
"The Royal Tenenbaums," Wes Anderson & Owen Wilson
Good Bets:
"Amélie," Guillaume Laurant & Jean-Pierre Jeunet
"The Others," Alejandro Amenabar
The Competition:
"Monster's Ball," Milo Addica & Will Rokos
"Moulin Rouge," Baz Luhrmann & Craig Pearce
"Mulholland Drive," David Lynch
The March release of "Memento" (techincally an "original" screenplay even though it was adapted from an unpublished story) will likely doom it to this single nomination -- although it is the front runner for the gold.
|Best ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
"A Beautiful Mind," Akiva Goldsman
"In the Bedroom," Rob Festinger & Todd Field
"Lord of the Rings...," Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh & Philippa Boynes
Good Bets:
"Black Hawk Down," Mark Bowden
"Iris," Richard Eyre & Charles Wood
The Competition:
"Shrek," Ted Elliot, Terry Rossio, Joe Stillman & Roger S.H. Schulman
"The Shipping News," Robert Nelson Jacobs
Dark Horses:
"Bridget Jones's Diary," Helen Fielding, Andrew Davies & Richard Curtis
"Ghost World," Terry Zwigoff & Daniel Clowes
"Vanilla Sky," Cameron Crowe
Whatever the nominees, the winner will likely be one of the Sure Things above.
|SPECIALTY Best Film categories
Animated Feature:
"Atlantis," "Monsters, Inc.," & "Shrek" are a lock. "Waking Life" -- by far the best animated film of the year -- deserves to be nominated, so it probably won't be. "Shrek" will win even though "Monsters" has a far better story and superior animation.
Critical favorites like "Startup.com" and "The Gleaners & I" will probably be snubbed, as per usual. But what will be nominated, I couldn't venture a guess.
Foreign Language:
This will be a race between "Amélie" (France) and Golden Globe winner "No Man's Land" (Bosnia), regarless of what else gets picked.
|TECHNICAL ("hard") categories
Likely noms include "The Man Who Wasn't There," "Lord of the Rings" & "Ali."
Count on "A Beautiful Mind," "Black Hawk Down" (the early favorite), "Lord of the Rings," "Moulin Rouge" & perhaps "Ali" or "Iris"
Sound Design & Sound Effects Editing:
Go where the noise is: "Black Hawk Down," "Lord of the Rings," "Moulin Rouge" & perhaps a couple more.
Visual effects:
The obvious suspects: "Lord of the Rings," "Pearl Harbor" & "Jurassic Park III"
|ARTISTIC ("soft") categories
Art Direction:
Definitely "Moulin Rouge," "Lord of the Rings" and "Amélie." Other good bets: "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Mulholland Drive" or "The Others."
Givens: "Moulin Rouge," "Lord of the Rings," & "The Man Who Wasn't There."
"Planet of the Apes" & "Lord of the Rings" among others.
|MUSIC categories
Original Score:
"A.I.: Artificial Intelligence" & "A Beautiful Mind," are pretty sure things because of their composers' repeat winner status. "Lord of the Rings" is a sure thing. "Amélie" has a pretty good shot, too. And I wouldn't count out "The Man Who Wasn't There" or "The Others."
Original Song:
I've never understood why this is even a catagory, but I can tell you for sure you'll be seeing Sting's "Until..." from "Kate & Leopold" (it won the Golden Globe), a tune from "Moulin Rouge," that Enya thing from "Lord of the Rings," and the Paul McCartney theme song from "Vanilla Sky."

A new "age of gas" may be dawning in the worldwide energy industry that will alter assumptions about supply, demand and cost, a GE Oil & Gas economist told the INGAA Foundation at its annual meeting.
Saudi Arabia's mandate to continue crude production even as prices fall below $80 per barrel could have long-term impacts on U.S. markets.
Despite two major power plant retirements, heating and power generation options for the taxed New England market are expected to improve this winter due to lower oil prices, according to a Morningstar Commodities Research report.
Though natural gas and NGL prices have been decoupling from oil prices for the past several years, the sudden downturn in crude prices have pulled the entire hydrocarbon sector down with it.
Colder temperatures and snowfall drove heating demand and improved gas prices, but NGL prices dropped through mid-November.
Crude oil prices continue to fall as geopolitical issues impact both the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent markets. The WTI price fell below $75 per barrel (/bbl), nearing a level that could halt some U.S. unconventional production.
NGL prices continued to suffer in the final week of October, while West Texas Intermediate crude prices held at about $80 per barrel.
Magellan Midstream Partners LP extended the open season for commitments on the Saddlehorn Pipeline. The pipeline will transport various grades of crude oil from the Niobrara play in northeast Colorado to Magellan's storage facilities in Cushing, Okla.
BNSF Railway Co. plans to apply a $1,000 surcharge for each older crude tank car, denting profits for shale drillers in North Dakota.
A joint venture between Tesoro Refining & Marketing Co. LLC and Savage Cos., Vancouver Energy is a proposed crude oil terminal to be located at Port of Vancouver USA.
Phillips 66 and Energy Transfer Partners LP plan to launch a binding open season to assess interest in committed service under local tariffs for crude oil pipeline transportation.
Spectra Energy's proposed Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission Project received an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) from the British Columbian government, the company said in a statement.
TransCanada Corp.'s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (PRGT) received an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) from the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office.
Key North American Hub Prices: November 25, 2014
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (APUC) will participate in the development of Kinder Morgan Inc.'s proposed Northeast Energy Direct natural gas pipeline project.
Lone Star NGL LLC, the joint venture between Energy Transfer Partners LP and Regency Energy Partners LP, will construct a 533-mile, 24- and 30-inch diameter NGL pipeline from the Permian Basin to Mont Belvieu, Texas.
The midstream's job today amounts to nothing less than "repiping North America," according to a wide-ranging midstream panel discussion featured at the INGAA Foundation's 2014 annual meeting.
BP plans to invest more $200 million to upgrade its purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plants at Cooper River, S.C., and Geel, Belgium, the company said in a statement on Nov. 17.
Shell Chemical LP exercised its option to acquire land in Monaca, Pa., which could be used to build a $4 billion world-scale ethane cracker in the heart of the Marcellus Shale, from Horsehead Holding Corp.
Williams Partners LP announced Oct. 29 it expects its expanded Geismar Olefins plant to begin manufacturing ethylene for sale in November. That time line is consistent with the financial guidance the partnership provided in July.
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple and Badlands NGL's LLC's chairman CEO, William Jeffrey Gilliam, announced that a new polyethylene (PE) manufacturing facility will be built in North Dakota.

U.S. business-to-business search engine Accoona has been acquired by Denmark-based business-to-business search engine Masterseek. Accoona launched in 2004 and has seen much of its success in China.
"We have worked intensely for the last two weeks in order to get all of the legalities and finances in place for the takeover and there is still a great deal of work in front of us to integrate and re-launch the search service," states Rasmus Refer, founder of the Masterseek Corp.
Accoona will be re-launched (again) with integrated Masterseek data in the U.S. and China. Then it will be launched in Europe. The target date for the European release is January 2009.

NASA probe will ease through Saturn's ring to grab Earth snapshot
NASA's Cassini spacecraft will take a picture of Earthlings' home planet from the viewpoint of aliens on Saturn next month, snapping the image from hundreds of millions of miles away. Cassini picture of Earth from Saturn 2006 "While Earth will be only about a pixel in size from Cassini's vantage point 1.44 billion kilometres …
El Reg in a Time Warp?
"NASA's Cassini spacecraft will take a picture of Earthlings' home planet from the viewpoint of aliens on Saturn today, snapping the image from hundreds of millions of miles away."
BBC is reporting that the image will be taken on Friday 19 July.
Re: El Reg in a Time Warp?
As is JPL. Easy to see how such a mistake can be made, announcing something yesterday that will happen in exactly a month an a day, but still you'd expect something like that to be caught.
Re: El Reg in a Time Warp?
NASA & JPL've been living in the future so long, it's become like the present. That or the space-time continuum has sprung a leak.
Regardless, well done (or should that be 'well to be done').
Re: El Reg in a Time Warp?
Actually I wondered for a moment if I'd quoted the wrong thing when I saw the obvious date coding in that URL. 2004? Check the news release, yes, it is dated yesterday. El Reg is out by a month. JPL is out by nine years.
Shouldn't we be
Turning down the lights a little so as not to entice human eating 60' tall green and red aliens to our planet like moths to an outside light?
So us earthlings are taking a selfie then?
Re: Selfie
Everyone get ready to put on your pouting duck-face..
Where and When
From a bit of research, us Brits should smile to the south west at half past ten in the evening on the 19th July.
But then again, knowing Britain, our part of the pixel will be under cloud anyway.
For the pedants, it's from 21:27 UTC for about 15 minutes. Saturn will be at Alt: 15.2° Az: 226.7°.
Smile Please
Will the Moon be photo-bombing us do you think.
Being a proud Aussie
I'll be photo-bombing the snapshot with a moon of my own.
Re: Being a proud Aussie
I expect Venus will pull the 'rabbit ears' thing again.
Re: Smile Please
I expect the moon will be sharing our pixel. It's not in a direct line though.
Re: Being a proud Aussie
If you're in Australia, you'll be on the wrong side of the planet at the time of the photo.
Re: Being a proud Aussie
No, the Earth will obstruct the view of Venus
Re: Being a proud Aussie
Surely you mean Uranus.
A pixel...
The Earth will be just a pixel.
Until somebody says "Enhance!"
(the "CSI" one, please).
They caught it just right...
... I can see someone reading this article ElReg on an iPad from there. Through a Tube train window. On the Victoria line, pulling into Pimlico. That CSI software is good...
...pale blue dot...
I need to watch that series again.
Which Month
I'm confused. Is it today or 19th July?
Re: Which Month
Yes, it's 19 July.
that is all.
Tomorrow will be the wonderful news that we won WWII or something.
Later, that I acquired the ability to submit handwriting or something.

Love their food. Their staff is exemplary. Can I say I love their food again.
Posted by Jan on 09/07/2008
This is a small, friendly restaurant on Oakley Street. Food was excellent and so was the service. I particularly appreciated being welcomed to take our time and stay after our meal was over so that my friends and I could continue our visit with one another. I will come again.
Posted by Doctor Nootens on 02/11/2008
The food, service and admosphere was the best. I had the spicy calamari appetizer, baked stuffed chells and the Italian sausage. It was all excellant!
Posted by Sarah on 03/29/2007
Okay - so this is my favorite restaurant EVER! I highly suggest going here. Even if you are a "true" Chicagoan you feel like you are visiting another city. Cute neighborhood and THE best fetticuni alfredo!
Posted by Cindie on 11/08/2006
I love this place! The resturant has such a cozy atmosphere, and the food is great. The pizza is one of my favorites, and the chocolate covered cherries is always a treat!
Posted by Midge & Dan on 08/29/2006
If you grew up in an Italian family than you would understand my title. This little gem is not at all pretentious and has real down home style food that is excellent. If you want something not on the menu there is never a hesitation, they make it for you. Decor is exactly what I refer to above. It's like sitting in your grandma's dining room. The owner never misses the opportunity to come by your table to see if you are enjoying yourself or if there is anything he can do to make your dining exp. even better. After all the high end Italian places downtown and the food that is over priced it's like a breath of fresh air. Speaking of air if I have one complaint it's that it is always freezing inside with over the top air conditioning so bring a sweater or light jacket. I can taste the thin slice egg plant, crisp on the outside but not mushy on the inside right now.....yum!
Posted by MHF on 08/08/2006
Tired of Taylor Street, we ventured here and loved it! The thin crust pizza and antipasto were out of this world. The waitress was really attentive and friendly but not annoying. This place has a really great vibe. The owner came and introduced himself to see how we were doing, which I think is always a nice touch. If only they delivered! We are definitely making this a regular hang-out. Great food with reasonable prices.

NBC did pretty well with its live production of

And tapped to play Captain Hook – none other than Christopher Walken.
Since he started his career in musicals – who knew? – there's a chance he might be putting on his dance shoes for the role. NBC's chairman of entertainment hinted at that in a press conference last week. "It might be the first tap-dancing Captain Hook you've ever seen."
Check out this video compilation of Christopher Walken's dance moves, put together by the folks at HuffPost Entertainment.

Change to Investigate Officer Reports (Repeatable) mission

Change to Investigate Officer Reports (Repeatable) mission
Today, I was running a foundry mission I like a lot, repeatedly. To earn fleet marks and get my fleet moving again. So I did it many times (didn't keep track of the exact number) with several toons, and it qualified for Investigate Officer Reports. I got my rewards every time, and repeated it when the timer was up.
Now all of a sudden, the same foundry mission does not tick off the Investigate Reports wrapper when completed. Now has red text in the description "Does not count for Investigate Officer Reports mission" that it did not have before.
Tried on 2 different toons, and tried it twice in a row on each. No luck.
What the hell? This happened in the span of switching toons, so it wasn't due to any patch. Is there a secret limit to the number of times a mission counts for the wrapper before you're SOL? I DON'T want to play other hour long foundry missions and I don't want to grind the same few flark missions over and over. I don't mind doing them but they get old as ****. I've played them all so many times already. It'd be nice to have another way to get the marks. Just when I thought my problems were over. >.>
Anybody else run into this problem?

Students voiced their concerns to Bradley administration and staff members at Student Senate's annual Speak Up event Monday in the Student Center Ballroom. Student Senate increased involvement by live tweeting the event via @BradleySenate. The following are questions as submitted by students.
Q: Why do the Honors students get to register first?
A: Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs David Glassman said not many Bradley student groups have the privilege of registering early. According to Glassman, many other universities allow their Honors students to register early. The decision was deliberated for four to five months after Honors Program Director Kyle Dzapo presented it. Ultimately, Glassman said the decision was made because Honors students have to take a certain amount of extra hours and should be recognized for their achievements.
Q: What kinds of changes are being made in order to combat the enrollment declines?
A: Vice President for Enrollment Management Paul Schroeder said the Admissions Department began making changes in the prospective student visit day process as well as adjustments in where Admissions Representatives travel to and what the recruiting message is. Schroeder said they expect the same or a little better result than last year.
Q: With so many Veterans attending Bradley, why don't we have a Veterans Office on campus?
A: Vice President for Student Affairs Nathan Thomas said administrators are in the process of discussing this matter. They are looking at space issues and other proposed ideas in collaboration with the BU Veterans' Club.
Q: Students were told last year that to be able to be on the network, they had to have Windows 8 Pro. Then they were told they never needed to upgrade, and it was Bradley's end that had the problem. What do you plan to do about this? Will students be refunded?
A: "I lied to you; the problem was a small section of access points that did not support Windows 8," Associate Provost of Information Resources and Technology (IRT) Chuck Ruch said. He said the problem was originally thought to be Windows 8 but turned out to be an issue of access points. Ruch said IRT immediately addressed the issue, they apologize for the misunderstanding on their part, and they have taken precautions to make sure it does not happen again.
Q: Engineers have to take 17 credit hours as mandated by their curriculum. If it is part of their curriculum, why do they need to pay for that 17th hour?
A: Glassman said the University recognizes this issue, and it is "not a dead discussion" as it has been and still is occurring. He said they are working on this particular area right now, and updates will follow.
Q: Why do the Bradley police walk through the St. James buildings at night?
A: BUPD Chief Brian Joschko said that officers patrol to provide a safe and secure campus to students. They patrol the residence halls in a similar manner.
Q: Why is our men's basketball coach getting $750,000 to coach a team that has a very poor record?
A: Director of Athletics Michael Cross said the current salary is driven by market rates and that the administration works to be competitive on the floor. Everyone is working to do their best and to improve, according to Cross.
Q: What is the University doing to promote diversity of ALL cultures on campus?
A: Thomas said there will be a big announcement in the coming weeks pertaining to this, so "stay tuned." He said that diversity and inclusion are key.
Q: What is being done about the unacceptable cockroach infestation in Williams Hall and apparently around campus?
A: Vice President for Business Affairs Gary Anna said there were major renovations in Williams and that they should have been more aggressive in treating the problem before the start of the school year. This is not a recurring situation, according to Anna.
Q: There are so many places on campus that are re-seeded from foot traffic. Why not just make the sidewalks bigger?
A: Anna said that sidewalks came before actual foot traffic and that the University did not have the luxury of changing them. It is easier to re-seed these areas because it is very expensive to add sidewalks, according to Anna.
Q: How do you know you are being "throttled" on the network, and what can students do to fix this?
A: Ruch said that if you are being throttled, you are a "big" user, or in technical terms, "a network hog." He said that if they are being throttled, students will lose their network connection for a few seconds at first and then for progressively longer periods if they continue to use at the same rate.
Ruch said that there haven't been enough detailed reports from students being throttled to know if there are any problems with the system.
Q: Why aren't current Bradley engineers ever encouraged to go to graduate school here?
A: Glassman said that the philosophies of a school our size are different. Students are encouraged to go onto another institution for graduate work because students work so closely with faculty here that they've gained training. Attending different institutions in graduate school will expand students' networks and diversity of knowledge.
Q: What will be done about the short-staffed administration at Bradley?
A: University President Joanne Glasser said that there is no hiring freeze in place, but they are being prudent in resources and hiring.
Q: Williams Dining Hall had their freezer 15 degrees warmer than what it should've been. What can be done to fix this issue from happening again?
A: Food Service Director Gayle Hanson said that the problem was resolved. The Health Department inspected Bradley Dining Services last week, and all facilities except Shea Stadium received a 95 or above rating, according to Hanson.
Q: Athletics has increased their spending by 240 percent and Academics only 47 percent. Why are we investing more in a department that doesn't affect the future of the students?
A: Anna said that the numbers are accurate but may not be representative, although he does not have the exact figures in front of him. He said the administration must shape the University through investment, and they are not doing anything to diminish academics.
Q: Why is the temperature in academic buildings so extreme?
A: Anna said that some buildings have better capabilities than others. Baker is very old, and they are looking to renovate their systems, while Westlake is not having the same problems because it is new. He said that some buildings will always have some rooms colder or warmer than others.
Q: What is Bradley doing to prepare our graduate students to be more competitive in the work force? Have we considered expanding our foreign language department?
A: Glassman said there is a challenge filling courses and that they need more students, particularly in French and Mandarin. Glassman said he does believe it's important and called for more students to commit to the program, instead of just taking one or two semesters.
Q: Why are graduate students allowed to attend undergraduate funded events? Their activities fee doesn't go to the SABRC like the undergraduates' fee does.
A: Director of Student Activities Tom Coy said that they do not want to exclude any population of Bradley and are communicating with the graduate program, looking into a possible fee for graduate students as well.
Q: Dining Services donates an astronomical amount of food to the Peoria Rescue Ministries. Has the University considered ordering less food so the prices don't keep inflating?
A: Hanson said that they have a team that works to monitor the waste and use. However, there is an "astronomical" amount wasted by students, according to Hanson.
Q: What are the future plans concerning the Garrett Center?
A: Assistant Director of Multicultural Student Services Norris Chase said a Garrett Center Advisory Committee has been set up to discuss ways for moving forward. This committee meets Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the Garrett Center, and they are looking for more attendees.
Q: What are the plans for the renovations of the library and are there updates for the convergence center?
A: Glassman said they continue to make small improvements on the library such as getting new tables, chairs and study rooms. Eventually, they hope to raise enough money for large-scale renovations, such as the first floor.
Regarding the business and engineering convergence center, Glassman said the university is still in the fundraising phase of the building. He said he believes this building and the resources that come along with it will allow Bradley to leap above its competitors. He said it's a great vision, and it will come to fruition, but without the funds, they cannot break ground yet.
According to Dean of the Foster College of Business Darrell Radson, there are already programs in place in which students are participating that combine business and engineering, such as the two semester long senior projects and the newly opened opportunity for juniors to learn how new product development teams operate. Radson also said there will be new minors proposed this year, which will hopefully be instituted by fall 2015. He also said these types of programs are not being delivered at any other university in the country.
Q: Would the faculty and staff have to abide by the rules that would be brought forth by the Smoke-Free Campus Resolution if it passes?
A: Anna said the faculty has traditionally supported student interests. However, they cannot commit to something that has not been fully researched and discussed first. He said he personally supports the idea, but he is waiting on a university-wide acceptance and discussion before they proceed.

MUNCIE – For the most part, it was a typical season opener for the Ball State football team – including getting the win.
The Cardinals won their fifth straight opening-game, a 30-10 decision over Colgate on Saturday at Scheumann Stadium.
It was a good way to start the season, Ball State coach Pete Lembo said. It was a good workmanlike win.
The Cardinals are coming off a 10-3 record last year but are missing several key ingredients from that team, including quarterback Keith Wenning, receiver Willie Snead and defensive tackle Jonathon Newsome.
Overall, it was a good, solid day and a lot of guys played a lot more football than they have in the past, Lembo said. Hopefully that was a good learning experience for them.
Ball State improved to 4-0 in openers under Lembo. The Cardinals have now won 17 of their last 19 regular-season games.
Against Colgate, the offense was balanced with running backs Horactio Banks and Jahwan Edwards each rushing for more than 100 yards and quarterback Ozzie Mann throwing two touchdowns in his first career start.
It was the 20th time two backs went over 100 yards for the Cardinals, and the first time since the same tandem did it in against Ohio on Nov. 14, 2012. Banks ran for 134 yards, while Edwards finished with 109 yards and a touchdown.
I am real pleased with how we ran the ball, Lembo said. That's how we want to be. We want to be able to hand the ball off to those guys and keep the chains moving.
Ball State had 311 rushing yards and finished with 514 yards of total offense.
Mann completed 20 of 32 passes for 203 yards and the two scores.
It was fun to get out there and compete with the guys, Mann said. Obviously it's nice to get the first game under our the belt. It's a win, but we have to keep getting better every day.
He also had an interception in the end zone that was a simultaneous catch and ruled a pick that was upheld by review.
The score would have put Ball State up 20-0 but instead Colgate drove down the field and narrowed the deficit to 13-7. But Mann hit Aaron Hepp for a score just before halftime to go up 20-7.
Receiver KeVonn Mabon had a career high 11 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. Mabon was injured three games into last season and had been out of action ever since.
I felt like the jitters were gone when he started spring ball and going through camp all summer, Mabon said of returning to the field. Coming out here I felt normal, and that I was used to it.
On defense, the Cardinals gave up only nine first downs, the fewest since 2000.
It's all about everybody doing their role and playing disciplined football, linebacker Ben Ingle said about the defense. I don't think we had too many missed tackles at all, and you want to minimize that as much as possible.

Drs Surf and Beach at the helm this week. Dr Surf has a round up of upcoming events from the boardriding clubs: Phillip Island, Peninsula, 13th Beach and Torquay: what are they and why should you join? Also the Disabled Surfers Association dates for Ocean Grove and Pt Leo for this summer, and some tips for beginners to help make sure your summer surfs are happy and harmonious. Then we'll be interrogating Wrecks Hunter about what's new in local marine archeology; plus, Jeff Maynard will play not his usual cheesy B-grade movie outtake, but an interview he did with 'our' Ted Eldred, the Victorian who (and not many people know this) played a crucial role in the development of underwater breathing apparatus.

We started today's show with a cross to the Yarra Valley, where Oakridge Estate's head chef Jose Chavez was watching his board slowly fill with orders. We spoke about the effect of the recent weather on the local produce, and what he's currently sourcing for his kitchen.
Next up we focussed on technology, with Brad Giblin running us through the recent developments with 3D printing. It turns out that people are already using these devices with food, and whilst currently there are really only single ingredient printers being used, there is really no limit to what can be achieved in the future. Maybe it's molecular gastronomy 2.0? It's even backed by NASA!
To finish today, we spoke the the man behind Bacash restaurant, Michael Bacash. We chatted at length about the new proposals to ban commercial fishing in Port Phillip Bay, and what effect that will have on the restaurant supply chain. We also spoke more generally about how to treat your seafood with respect, and how it is entirely different to preparing and cooking other proteins.
