Energy Security:
An Overview of Changes in the World Oil Market
RCED-88-170: Published: Aug 31, 1988. Publicly Released: Aug 31, 1988.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO evaluated changes in the world oil market to: (1) determine how U.S. vulnerability to an oil crisis has changed in the last decade; and (2) identify areas of potential significance to U.S. energy security.
GAO found that: (1) lower oil imports and oil consumption have significantly curtailed U.S. and other major oil-importing countries' dependency on imported oil; (2) abundant oil supplies, increased competition for oil revenues, and less hazardous transportation routes reduced the prospects of a significant oil shortfall; and (3) the United States and other major oil-importing countries have built significant emergency oil stocks and developed other measures to mitigate the effects of a serious disruption. GAO believes that the United States could further reduce its dependency on oil by: (1) developing alternative fuels and emphasizing more efficient fuel use in the transportation sector; (2) continuing to build strategic oil stocks and resolving related disputes within the International Energy Agency; (3) adopting standby measures to limit overreliance on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve; and (4) maintaining a stable economic and regulatory atmosphere to encourage investments in oil and alternative energy programs.

Jul 22, 2011This film started as a simple morality vehicle, but ended as a deeply religious and human narrative regarding not only morality, but original sin and pulls symbolism from the Garden of Eden to exhibit the fall of man from a very interesting perspective. The acting was more or less unremarkable but the cinematography and audio are sublime. Do not be discouraged by the negative reviews. The only explanation that I can offer for low marks is that the reviewer wasn't expecting to see an actual film, and instead was expecting a cookie cutter sci-fi/horror summer blockbuster that is neither memorable nor engaging. If that's what you're after, enjoy saw 14. If you're looking for a narrative thriller with a little substance, check this one out.… Expand
Jun 28, 2011I have no idea how a movie of this quality rank could get the hilarious 47 out of 100 points. This is literally a masterpiece, one of the best movies made recently.
Kelly's trademark mix of sci-fi, surrealism and suburbia occasionally entertains.
An artistic fiasco that cuts across genre lines and all logic to become, perhaps, an instant midnight movie.
The Box is a mess, but it's a curiously haunting, intriguing, brain-tickling mess, and it delivers that "Donnie Darko" feeling in truckloads. Or should that be rocketloads?

Billions are lost on gift cards
8 Ways to Prevent Getting Cheated on Gift Cards
by Joanne Guidoccio

The Changing Landscape of Unused Gift Cards
Gift Cards: Use Them Before You Lose Them
Wrapping Holiday Gift Cards
While gift cards may be the perfect solution for that hard-to-please friend or relative on your list, they are a better deal for the retailers who issue them. For many consumers, receiving a gift card is like getting a discounted price on a preferred item. As a result, they do not pay too much attention to the sticker price and may even go on a mini shopping spree, spending more than the face value of the card.
More alarming is the amount of spillage on these cards. According to Brian Riley of the TowerGroup research firm, "U.S. consumers have left more than $41 billion on unused gift cards purchased since 2005." In Canada, the average household has over $300 in unused gift cards, according to www.cardswap.ca. Why are so many consumers not using their gift cards?
It is so easy to toss these cards into drawers, especially during busy holiday seasons, and forget about them. Some cards are lost. Other cards expire. Some retailers declare bankruptcy and the cards are no longer valid.
To get the most from your gift cards, consider the following suggestions:
- Read the fine print on the card. Check for an expiration date and information about transaction fees. Is there a return policy? If you use the card to buy a gift for a friend, will he be able to get cash back?
- Write down the card's ID number and the customer-service telephone number on the card's back. If you have access to a copier, photocopy both sides of the card.
- Organize your gift cards. Set aside a special place in a drawer or filing cabinet for gift cards. Record the expiration dates for each card on a calendar. Alternatively, you could create a separate folder in a spreadsheet program to keep track of these dates.
- Register your cards. If they are lost or stolen, the balance can be credited to a new card. Also, you qualify for rewards discounts or freebies with certain gift cards. For example, when you register a Starbucks gift card, you are eligible for a free drink on your birthday.
- Take your cards with you when you go shopping. You are more likely to use them if you have them on hand.
- Do not save your gift cards. Use them within thirty days, and you will cut back on the probability of losing or forgetting about these cards.
- Regift the card if you do not intend to use it.
- Sell your card at websites like www.cardswap.ca where you can receive up to 92 percent of its cash value.

People's favorite things to do on the Web are: using search engines, checking email, watching and sharing video clips, and social networking, in that order. That's what Forbes.com seems to be saying in "What Are People Actually Doing on the Web?" On No. 3: "There are plenty of sites devoted to the art of, well, lollygagging. Take YouTube, Americans' sixth-most-hammered site, with 75 million unique visitors last month, each of whom spent an average of one hour per visit." As for that fourth pursuit, "to be sure, social networking is still a youthful pursuit – Generation Y (ages 18 to 28) is nearly four times as likely to frequent such sites as are the 29-and-over population – but the speed at which this phenomenon has taken hold is breathtaking. Consider that back in July 2005, "Thefacebook" ranked No. 236 on Nielsen's list, with nearly 4 million unique visitors. By last month, the social networking site – now called simply Facebook – had scaled its way to No. 16, with over 34 million uniques [visitors]."

bBar Superfood Vitality Bar
By Kelley Carlson
Open just four months, Del Mar's superfood vitality bar is already drawing many customers seeking a super-healthy lifestyle.
In fact, it's not unusual to see lines going out the door at
-- in the Albertson's shopping center on Via de la Valle -- between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., according to owner Lisa Odenweller. People of all ages come for fare that promises long-term health benefits, from a menu concocted by Odenweller and a team of renowned raw food and holistic chefs: Simone Powers, Adina Niemerow, Matthew Kenney, Meredith Baird and Susan Sbicca. And the freshness provides further appeal, as everything is made on site -- from the almond milk and orange juice to the dressing and the flax crackers.
"We love playing with superfood," Odenweller said. "Everything is created for a purpose."
For example, there's the Rockstar, a made-to-order smoothie that derives its bluish-green color from E3Live Blue Majik, an algae product that aids in muscle recovery and alleviates inflammation, among many other possible benefits. It's blended with sprouted almond milk, coconut water, banana, Beaming Protein, coconut butter, date and vanilla. And then there's the Sexy Mayan, a spicy chocolate concoction that contains maca to boost energy and libido.
There are even "Beaming Kids Tastebud Approved" items for the younger set, such as the Beaming Basic in vanilla or chocolate.
"As a parent, I feel really good about it," Odenweller said.
Her own children formulated one of the beverages: Mom I Ate My Veggies! -- which also has fruit -- is filled with antioxidants, fiber, protein and vitamins.
Along with smoothies, bBar makes hydraulic cold-pressed juices that retain more vitamins and nutrients than produce squeezed in the standard juicer, and they last up to five days. A couple of them -- including the Skinny Cooler, with pineapple, cucumber, mint and jalapeño -- can double as cocktail mixers.
"We recognize that people play and have fun; why not do it healthy?" Odenweller said.
Furthermore, there are power tonics, such as the cold-and-flu-fighting Immunity Booster. Especially popular during the winter, it's a potent mix of orange juice, oregano oil, ginger, cayenne, astragalus and elderberry.
Customers unsure of which smoothies or juices to order may request samples at the counter. While waiting for their selection, they can sit at a lime-green table on the patio; curl up on the couch underneath a TV that will eventually play videos touting the benefits of superfoods; or perch on a stool at the bar embellished with a beach-grass design.
Yet there are more than just beverages at bBar.
Need a snack? There's the Beaming Protein Bite, much like a healthy cookie, but people eat them like candy -- it's a compact combination of coconut flour, almond butter, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, Beaming Protein, lucuma, goji berries and coconut sugar.
For something a bit more substantial, bBar has a variety of raw foods, salads, bottled soups and quinoa that change daily. Among them are the Coconut Ceviche, a festively colored dish with coconut meat, finely diced cucumbers, grape tomatoes, red bell peppers and red onion, jalapeño, cilantro and Himalayan salt, all marinating in lime juice; and the cool and refreshing organic Thai Salad with almond Thai dressing.

TUESDAY, Sept. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Urinary bisphenol A (BPA) levels are not associated with self-reported type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in the Sept. 20 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Guang Ning, M.D., Ph.D., from the Shanghai Jiao-Tong University School of Medicine in China, and colleagues investigated the association between BPA exposure and type 2 diabetes in adults. A total of 3,423 adults aged 40 years or older (1,087 with type 2 diabetes) were enrolled in the study from May 2008 to August 2009. BPA urinary concentration from morning spot urine samples, fasting plasma glucose concentration, plasma glucose concentration two hours after an oral glucose tolerance test, and serum insulin concentration were measured.
The investigators found that the median urinary BPA level was 0.81 ng/mL. Different clinical characteristics were seen for participants with normal glucose regulation and those with impaired glucose regulation, and by BPA quartile. In multivariable analysis, there was no distinct correlation between BPA levels and type 2 diabetes. Participants in the second (0.48 to 0.81 ng/mL) and fourth (>1.43 ng/mL) BPA quartiles showed a slightly increased odds ratio [OR] for type 2 diabetes (adjusted OR, 1.30 and 1.37, respectively), but not those in the third quartile (0.82 to 1.43 ng/mL); the trend of the association was not statistically significant.
"The findings do not confirm a previously reported association between urinary BPA levels and self-reported type 2 diabetes," the authors write.

Like Daisy - I've been catching up on a week's worth of photos too - enjoyed every minute of it - thank you all for posting.
Am now inspired to get out there and create something similar.
And how I love the clematis !!
I would give a lot to be able to visit my Mum - sadly, can only do it in my head - which happens lots.
Abi - mine flowered in their second year, and they were from cuttings from a bush at my old house. Sorry, thats probably not what you wanted to hear
Morning - blue skies here and set to last all weekend!
Have a weekend of planting in front of me - a load of rudbeckias to get in the beds, and need to plant up my pots with bedding (lifted the tulips last weekend - but having watched GW last night, we did it wrong). All my mulching seems to have paid off - very little weeding to do, and what there is comes up really easily because the top layer of soil is so crumbly.
Garden still quite green - waiting for the colour explosion. Have been staring a my peony buds for a month now - surely they can't keep me in suspense for much longer ... Saw my first rose peeping out yesterday
But before I start, I am going to catch up on the picture threads on here
Will post pics tomorrow - just about to slump on the sofa now !
Matty - I LOVE pass the pigs
Hi KJ
How handy are you? OH built mine from planks of wood and a sheet of double glazed polycarbonate about 10 years ago and it has been brilliant. If you are interested I will take some photos for you to copy. You can then make it whatever size you like. He based it around 3 of the really large seed trays you can get. It does not have a base - just sides and a hinged lid. Hope this helps
Morning Daisy, Muddy, Andy
Been busy watering plants and watching baby jackdaws and water rails (Springwatch - not my garden!) - so not been able to catch up here for a few days.
Dove - I also had the same problem with garden thermometers (black bit getting mixed up with mercury - making them useless). A couple of years ago I switched to a Dual Display Digital one from Gardman - £10 - shows max/min temps aswel as current and has a sensor that you stick outside the greenhouse to tell outside temp too. I have been really pleased with it - so there's a recommendation for you (normally hate Gardman stuff, so this has been an exception!)
Ooops - GF pics were on another thread (its too early for my brain - best go dunk it in a shower)....
GF - your garden is lovely. Art - love that Allium pic. Andy -great before and after shots - really making a difference there.
Loving this thread

This paper focuses on enhancing IEEE 802.11e EDCA for improving reliability in Smart grid networks. 802.11e can support prioritized QoS to differentiate traffic and guarantee fairness for delay-stringent applications. However, this may pose serious problems when applied to Smart Grid environments which support applications that have strict reliability requirements. To solve this problem, we suggest a contention mitigated EDCA algorithm (CM-EDCA), which utilizes packet collision and MAC retransmission parameters to change the packet priority and reduce packet collisions. The proposed scheme is compatible with IEEE 802.11e and easy to implement for Smart grid devices. Simulation studies show improved reliability compared to the existing methods in IEEE 802.11e.

What time of day are you taking them at the moment?
It doesn't particularly matter what time of day you take the ranitidine but given your symptoms the morning, before breakfast, may be best.
Have you talked with your doctor about how you are feeling. You may get more effective relief if you try taking 150mg twice daily?
thanks, had no idea one could take 600mg, GP HELPFUL but fellow users often have more relevant suggestions. I have tried taking 300mgs at various times of the day with some effect, but to avoid further surgery I want explore all options, most helpful thanks again.Shakespeare

Manchester aldermen to consider leashes, muzzles for dogs
Such dogs also would need to be enrolled in behavioural modification training.
"These (cases) are few and far between," Ward 3 Alderman Pat Long said Friday. "It's not a majority of irresponsible dog owners. However, those that aren't responsible, unfortunately, we have to make them responsible."
Police Lt. Maureen Tessier said the ordinance will assist the department's animal control officers by "spelling out more specific responsibilities they can have in dealing with a vicious dog," Tessier said.
The ordinance also calls for those designated dogs to be:
• Physically restrained on private property by fencing sufficient to keep the animal from jumping or climbing over it;
• Identified by microchip or tattooing with documentation to be submitted to the city;
• Banned from entering any public "off leash" dog park within the city
It also requires owners of such dogs to notify the City Clerk's Office when the dog dies, moves or is given over to new owners.
As of Friday, the city had 10,771 licensed dogs, according to the City Clerk's Office.
Shelley Greenglass, manager of the Manchester Animal Shelter, applauded the ordinance.
She said each incident should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
"It's not all pit bulls. It can be any dog," said Greenglass, who has discussed the proposal with an alderman. "You put it on the owner to be responsible."
"I just wish people will be more responsible," Greenglass said. "You can't tell me a dog that just bit, the owners didn't see something along the way to try to correct the problem or were putting the dog in a bad situation."
Aldermen have been working on the issue for about a year.
"It's been a long time in the making," he said.

Council gives final approval for Santa Cruz Warriors deal
Send this to a friend
- Lauren Hepler
- Economic Development Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
After a last-minute legal threat on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors' NBA Development League team will be coming to Santa Cruz after all.
With a late night 6-0 Santa Cruz City Council vote on Wednesday, plans are now finalized for a temporary 30,000-square-foot arena between the beach and downtown, which will cost the city $4.1 million in total loans. Costs include a $532,000 up-front loan for rent at the 4,000-seat venue, and at least $250,000 annually over seven years.
But the deal comes with conditions.
To offset concerns about financial risk for the city, the Santa Cruz Warriors must stay for at least seven years to avoid being considered in default on the loans. Additional noise monitoring and parking conditions were also added as a compromise to residents in the nearby Beach Hill residential community. A San Carlos attorney on Tuesday sent a letter on behalf of the community to the city questioning the legality of the proposal.
City attorneys opened the meeting by saying they had responded in writing to the letter after finding no legal reason to delay the vote and answering concerns about noise, parking and environmental impact.
"There are some real issues here," said Santa Cruz Warriors President Jim Weyermann. "We're in the sports business. We understand that the best game plan's got to shift sometimes. We're open to do whatever it takes to make it work."
City spokesman Scott Collins said now that permits and financing have been secured, all that's left is formal legal agreements between the city and the Warriors, and the city and the Seaside Co., which owns the parking lot where the arena will be built. He said a groundbreaking date for the arena has not been set, but should be "beginning soon."
The five-hour-plus public meeting came to a close with the council vote just before 1 a.m. Dozens of residents in the standing-room only crowd – including many sporting Warriors jerseys and hats – took time to speak about their concerns and enthusiasm for the project.
Weyermann used a large map to illustrate a new proposal that would focus arena parking downtown, away from Beach Hill streets. He introduced a color-coded parking system that would pre-assign parking in downtown lots for both season ticket holders and fans purchasing tickets online. For those still intent on finding free street parking, Weyermann said "traffic ambassadors" could be hired and stationed in Beach Hill intersections to enforce no parking in the neighborhood.
"It's an issue of man power," he said. "We're prepared to buck up."
Collins said a subcommittee will likely be formed with council members, public works staff and Beach Hill residents to work out a lasting solution.
Don Webber, president of the neighbors' association, said it appeared all sides were "on the same page" with modified parking plans, but urged further action. He suggested modifying the area's permit parking system and removing some meters to allow free resident parking.
Noise from the new arena, which would be a steel structure with a fabric, tent-like roof, remained a contentious issue.
"We all understand that basketball is a noisy game," Webber said. "We all know there's no way to keep a basketball game quiet, and we don't pretend that either you or we could or should do that."
He voiced support for limitations on noisemakers such as air horns and cowbells, a possible remedy for unforeseen excess noise that was also mentioned by city planners.
Still, adding to community anxiety about the project is Beach Hill's proximity to summer tourist attractions at the nearby boardwalk.
"The neighborhood is already inundated by events that occur during the summer," Webber said. "We want to ensure that any additional events during the off-season don't extend those problems."
Several residents reiterated that their skepticism is not a "not in my backyard" opposition to the team's relocation, but rather an effort to ease crowding during the city's off-season from summer tourism.
"We're not deal-killers." Webber said. "We're people who already suffer from the negative effects of tourism. I know we don't like to talk about it."
To avoid exacerbating crowds during peak tourist season, Webber proposed not scheduling games for major summer holidays and busy Friday or Saturday nights.
"We like basketball, too," Webber said. "This is a place where we can actually solve a problem."

Sometimes, on the weekends in San Diego, patrons from the various entertainment establishments tend to get a little boisterous at a late hour – well, late for those who stay at home and happen to live in the neighborhood.
One of the services Stonewall Citizens' Patrol (SCP) has come to offer to the community is that of helping with neighborhood disturbances.
It is very difficult to take a strong position in the gay world without being, at the least, misunderstood, and at the most extreme, vilified mercilessly. I suppose it's like this in the straight world as well.
Dear Friends,
Saturday, July 23, 2011 was a historic day for our North County LGBT community and families. The North County LGBT Coalition board members had a day-long retreat to discuss the future of the organization.
Thanks to your financial support and trust through the past few years, our leadership is now ready to move forward with the creation of a North County LGBT Center. In the next few months, we will transition from the North County LGBT Coalition into our new entity where new leadership and participation will be needed.
There's no doubt that the hours, days, weeks and years of struggle can become enraging, depressing and frustrating. The enormous amounts of time and treasure that we pour out attempting to achieve even basic fair treatment under the law can, on some days, be overwhelming.
But not on this day. Not today.
This day we celebrate two tremendous, historic and game-changing victories. This day we begin to mark the ending of some decades-old struggles.
When I last worked a corporate job, I wished for a wife.
Now, as I study the shifting distribution of labor between females and males, I feel a little guilty about that. And as I find I have the time to offer to take the week's suits to the dry cleaners, I'm no longer concerned about gender implications. And as I see the burgeoning acceptance of same-sex marriage and the trend from women referring to their "wives" to women referring to their wives, I wonder how the definitions and demarcations of women's work and men's work might change in the next few generations.
On Sunday, New York will begin issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples, further complicating the tangled legal mess of same-sex marriage in America.
Why does this complicate things? Consider what happens when legally married couples from New York move to, say, California. They'll see their marriages evaporate, based only on their sexual orientation.
Tabloids thrive on salacious headlines like "Alien leader visits Obama at Camp David" or "Priest casts demons out of homosexuals."
Most people snicker at the tabloids, heavily discounting the veracity of the stories that are published. Only the gullible believe what they read has any grain of truth.
Tabloids run by media mogul Rupert Murdoch are currently under investigation in the United Kingdom in an unfolding scandal that is spreading across the world. The FBI is looking into Murdoch's business practices here in the U.S., and Australian authorities are investigating as well.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Today a horde of gay barbarians descended upon Michele and Marcus Bachmann's "pray away the gay" clinic and demanded that Marcus come out and discipline them for their "deviant" behavior.
Marcus Bachmann, who conducts "reparative therapy" at the clinic intended to convert homosexuals, has said that gays are "barbarians who need to be disciplined." The horde requested to speak directly with Bachmann and experience some "discipline" for themselves.
To some in the LGBTQ community, three-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time MVP of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Sheryl Swoopes, is a "lie-sexual," another sister-girl on the "down low," with the incredulous news that she's now engaged to marry a man.
To incurable homophobes, especially of the fundamentalist Christian variety type, who pedal their "nurture vs. nature" rhetoric that homosexuality is curable with reparative theories, they see Swoopes as the prodigal daughter who has finally found her way home to Jesus.
Now that we've all recovered from our fabulous 37th annual Pride celebration here in San Diego, I wanted to take a few moments to reflect.
I attended my first-ever Pride festival right here in San Diego back in 1988, which was held at the old Balboa Hospital on Park Boulevard -- the same place the shuttle bus now brings festival-goers to and from the festival's current location at Marston Point in beautiful Balboa Park.
