Well, this has been a crazy week. I've been following it all out of one eye and ear because I was at a family event down south – with, y'know, a Rangers-Angels game mixed in – but sitting down to write this, I'm not exactly sure where to start.
There's Ichiro in pinstripes which has to be acknowledged (yes, the apocalypse is definitely coming. Also, I'm going to be heartbroken when 2012 is over and we can't make those jokes anymore.) and then there's Hanley to the Dodgers, which has made a pretty big shift in the division. Personally, I'm of the opinion that Ramirez, as good as he is, is not a game-changer, pun kinda sorta intended. I don't think the Dodgers are that much better with him and I still don't think this division is theirs to win, just because of that move. We'll have to see, of course, if they do anything further and if the Giants make any sort of corresponding move. A lot could still change between now and next Tuesday and it's also worth noting that a number of the Giants x-factor moves in 2010 happened after the trade deadline; there's still the whole waivers thing, post trade deadline. (Cody Ross? He was acquired on August 21st. Also, his secret career ambition is to be a rodeo clown. 'Member that? Bet you didn't. And, I mean, I didn't either. Gracias, Wikipedia.)
Across the Bay, the A's have been crazy good, going 9-1 in their last 10, completing a 4 game sweep of the first-place Yankees and are now beating Toronto 12-0 in the seventh. Say, what? Can you see my shocked face through the cybersphere? No? That's probably a good thing. Anyhows, I'm not an A's fan and don't like Brad Pitt and all that, but I'm rooting for this to go on. It's loads of fun to watch, no matter how you spin it.
The Giants won the series against the Padres, losing the final game today but pulling off an epicawesome walk-off win last night including the, um, potential Catch of the Year.
Just watch it over and over and bask. I'm not going to write any more because I don't want to distract you, but before I go, Corey Hart to the Giants? I could live with that. Also, if I hear "[insert lousy team here]are sellers and [insert slightly less lousy team] are buyers!" one more time, I may go stark raving mad. My friends and family might react with, "Go stark raving mad?" Because, you know… I kind of already am.

Derrick Rose talks and sounds like a guy done for the year
BY JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com March 27, 2013 12:20PM
Injured Bulls guard Derrick Rose works out before the Chicago Bulls host the Miami Heat Wednesday March 27, 2013 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: March 27, 2013 8:05PM
Derrick Rose did his best to try and leave some sort of glimmering hope that he could return from May surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee before the 2012-13 season comes to an end, but most of the answers that came out of his mouth on Wednesday afternoon painted a picture of a guy willing to shut it down and come out ready to go next fall.
Asked how difficult it's been to watch games this season, especially with the hated Heat in town and going for their 28th-straight win, Rose said, "It's not hard at all. When you have surgery you've got to grow patience. I've been patient for the last eight or nine months. I've been good.''
There was a buzz that Rose could return against Miami, and that only gained momentum when rapper Waka Flocka Flame wrote on Twitter Tuesday evening that Rose would play.
While Rose admitted to being a fan of the rapper, he had no recollection of hiring Mr. Flame as a PR man or health consultant. Rose was out, and still had no clue when, and if, he would return.
"I really don't know man,'' Rose said of a comeback this season. "Like I said, it's in God's hands. Every day I'm just waking up to try and be the best player, try and produce every time I step on the court, just try and get better as a player, and who knows when?
"This is the first time hearing about it. I guess he's a fan of mine. That's the only thing I heard about it. I'm happy he's a fan of mine. I heard a lot of his music too.''
Rose wasn't alone in giving Waka Flocka Flame some love. Coach Tom Thibodeau was asked about the rapper and the fact that he announced Rose's return, and tried to keep a straight face in his response.
"The rapper you're talking about?'' Thibodeau said.
When called out on it and told there is no way he had heard of Waka Flocka Flame, Thibodeau smirked, "I hear the guys talking about him.''
What Thibodeau did say about Rose was the organization was behind the way he's been handling the rehab. If that means not playing this season, so be it.
"The most important thing for him and us is we want him to be completely healthy,'' Thibodeau said. "We have to continue to show patience, let him work his way through it, he's done a great job with his part.
"He's got a power game built on speed, agility, change of direction, stop and go, so it's unique. We have to make sure he's comfortable being out there. He's close, but he's not quite there.''
Rose was asked if he didn't play the rest of this season, did he feel that there would still be second thoughts about the knee when he does take the court next season.
"Not at all,'' Rose replied. "I know the confidence I have in myself in what type of player I am, so when I step on the court I think I'm going to be better, I know I'm going to be better, so I'm not worried about that.''
The hurdle for Rose since he started full-contact practices five weeks ago, has been not dwelling on the injury when he's out there. He wants to be able to play by just reacting. That's still not happening.
"When I step on the court I'm going to ball,'' Rose added. "I'm not going to think about it, I'm just going to be out there reacting, so right now, just taking my time and dealing with the whole situation.
"It's still the same … still the same.''

Navigation and Sunroof Question
Posts: 35
Just got the SE AWD w/Nav & Panoramic Sunroof and I have 2 quick questions that may be dumb but my dealer service department seems clueless and told me to come back Monday when the main service part guy is there.
1. When you get the Nav system does that delete the 6 disc in dash changer that it states mine should have on the invoice sticker? I've only been able to load 1 CD and I nor the dealership could find a external cd changer in the center console, glove box or truck. :confuse:
2. Does the sunroof open only half way and not 100% all the way over the heads of the back seat passengers? In the brochure it shows a completely open roof but mine only opens halfway. :confuse:
Thanks A Bunch For Any/All Feedback!

rv65 Posts: 1,074Yes it does delete the CD changer but thats ok. The RNS-510 supports MP3 discs by SD card, DVD, or CD. Just make a DVD full of your favorite MP3's and you pretty much don't need a changer. There is also a Media In port in the armrest that supports USB, and iPod devices. iPod requires part number 000 051 446 C which is the proprietary Media-In iPod cable. The RNS-510 only supports up to 2 GB in SD cards but those are real cheap. The RNS-510 is the nav system in the 09 Tiguan.
Gyrlwolf Posts: 35RV65,
Thank you for your helpful info. I figured that was the case but wasn't sure. Have a "line-in" cable for my IPod Touch right now, but I want to get the one you mentioned as the one I have doesn't let you control the IPod from the steering wheel or on the Nav screen. Now half of my mystery is solved. I think the sunroof is only partial opening too. -
rv65 Posts: 1,074Part number 000 051 446 C does enable full iPod integration. It shows the nav's interpretation of the iPod interface. It works great btw. Much cheaper than so called iPod adapters yet it's just a simple cable. I guess the Media-In has the iPod hardware and the cable translates the iPod dock connector to it's format. It even shows song information as well.
rv65 Posts: 1,074You can get the MDI if you have a CD changer. If it's a Nav model then you don't get it. Some models might have had the CD changer instead of the Media-In. There is a retrofit version of the MDI/Media-In that works real well. It does work with a CD changer. No extra cables but it costs about $250 plus the cost of the cables. The iPod cable is the most expensive. It's about $35 to $50. You must use the iPod cable with an iPod. Don't buy the cheaper USB cable and plug in an iPod or else it won't work. Just buy the iPod cable. The USB cable costs about $25 to $45.
rv65 Posts: 1,074http://www.my-gti.com/443/volkswagen-media-device-interface-mdi-specifications
A bit outdated but it will work on iPod's made after the 4th generation. You must use part number 000 051 446 C. Don't use the USB cable with the iPod since it won't work right and you'll wonder why it won't work. Just buy the iPod cable and enjoy full iPod integration. -

Here are the codes - I just got a new Tig and my dealer set these convenience features for free:
1) Horn beep when locking/unlocking (maybe this is default normally?)
2) One remote click to unlock all doors.
3) Hold remote open/close to open/close all windows/sunroof -
vbbuilt Posts: 498Got my SEL w/NAV 5 days ago and live in the northern VA/DC area. Dealer told me that both SIRIUS and NAV are on 6 month trial subscription. I get all the SIRIUS channels, but I don't know if I'm getting traffic. In the system preferences for SIRIUS, a small window pops up, showing what I think is the unit's SID, both SIRIUS and traffic are listed. In the main map view, I select the traffic button, but I don't know if I'm getting traffic alerts or not. And I never see any color coding on the main screen, that would seem to show differing levels of traffic volumn. Living in this metro area, slow downs and accidents are frequent, but nothing shows on the screen
Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? How do I confirm I'm getting traffic?
Thanks, Vince. -
gordon17 Posts: 7I live in the Hartford, CT area and find the Sirius Traffic option just about useless and will not renew when my contract expires. I've been caught in a highway parking lot situation and the NAV shows green. I've breezed through red marked areas. Only once in 6 months has the NAV showed red and there was a real traffic jam. The same happens when I travel to New York City. Not very accurate.
vbbuilt Posts: 498I've the same feeling - I haven't seen any accident symbols on my display despite the fact that I hear about accidents on the radio - WTOP here in DC area and the colored line that are supposed to indicate traffic congestion don't exactly correlate to traffic conditions. I've confirmed thru SIRIUS that my subscription for traffic is valid, so I don't know what the answer is.
There's a website that caters specifically to these kind of questions:
So, I'm going to post your and my concerns there and see what responses pop up, since the heavy power hitters are there and not in this forum.
Vince. -
mg_tig Posts: 2Enjoying my 2010 Tiguan, but....
1. One thing I like to do when on the highway is find a Starbucks for a break. None of the "places" (restaurants/fast food/etc) seem to find coffee shops. Is the only alternative to type in Starbucks in the "name" option? If so, is there a way to save this, or do you have to redo this each time in a different location?
2. There is a boot up time for the nav/camera. By the time this occurs, I've already backed out of the space. Is this normal?
3. The nav instruction manual is completely cryptic! Anyone know of easier directions?
Thanks! -

Rockfish – Alaska and British Columbia, Bottom Trawl
There are over 70 species of Rockfish found along the U.S. and Canadian Pacific coasts, and many are important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Most Rockfish are long-lived, late to mature, and slow growing, which makes them especially vulnerable to fishing pressure.
Some Rockfish species are overfished and the status of many others is unknown because of a lack of available information. Recovery plans introduced since the late 1990s are slowly helping vulnerable Rockfish populations increase, but full recovery for the most depleted and slow-growing species is not expected for many decades.
Most Rockfish caught with destructive bottom trawls in Alaska and British Colubmia are rated red. However, these ratings are currently being updated.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in rockfish. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

When I entered the public relations profession 40 years ago, I had the good fortune to work for a woman. My boss, Jean Mahon, was the only female VP at the public relations firm I joined, and her mentoring, support and friendship made a difference. I realize now what was not quite so obvious then: that women in PR leadership roles were the exception rather than the rule.
All that has changed. Some call it the "feminization of PR," and nowhere is it more felt than in our town. Women run some of the largest PR shops here, and at a recent meeting of the Publicity Club of Chicago (PCC), they made their presence known at a panel discussion: Erica Swerdlow, executive vice president/Midwest market leader, Burson-Marsteller; Maxine Winer, senior partner/GM, Fleishman-Hillard Chicago; Patti Temple-Rocks, managing director, GolinHarris Chicago, and Claire Koeneman, executive vice president/GM, Hill + Knowlton Strategies Chicago. The lone man was Rick Murray, president, Edelman Chicago. The moderator was (surprise) a woman, Sue Markgraf, founder/president, GreenMark Public Relations and a past PCC president.
Once, this type of panel discussion would have centered on breaking through the glass ceiling, handling unwanted sexual advances, and whether you "could have it all." This time, the conversation was strictly business.
For the better part of an hour, the panel shared how the PR profession is changing and evolving, how to maintain and strengthen relationships with clients, and what young talent can do to improve their skill sets and rise to the top. Much of their advice would apply to any profession. Here are some choice tidbits.
• There's a constant battle between what is considered "urgent" and what is really important. Take the time to figure it out.
• Focus heavily on the short-term as well as long-term results. Your clients are being forced to do the same.
• We are past the age of business "silos" and lack of information reciprocity; everyone must work together.
• Don't ever be afraid to hire people who are "way smarter" than you.
• Let go of things you can't control.
And for job-seekers, there was this:
• Find a passion, and raise your hand.
• Find the one person you want to work for and go for it.
• Use your down time to explore what you really like to do which could be a transferrable skill in the workplace.
Finally, there were reminders not to take yourself, or your job, too seriously (unless of course, you're a brain surgeon), recognize that multi-tasking is impossible (you can't fully participate in a meeting if you're checking your phone every ten seconds), and invest in yourself (take a spin around the block, hit the gym, get a manicure).
It's thrilling to see so many women leading Chicago's large PR firms, and I'm equally pleased that a growing number of women are following in the footsteps of PR firm pioneers Janet Diederichs, Margie Korshak and Marj Abrahms.
In her hit single "Feeling Good," Nina Simone sang, "It's a new dawn, a new day and a new life." The same could be said for PR; we should all be "feeling pretty good."

Toyota's recall of more than 6 million vehicles in the US is certainly not the first time a major company has been forced into an about-face on a product. A chronological look at some of the major product recalls in the last 28 years also shows that how a company manages its product recall can have quite a dramatic effect on future profits.
1982 – Tylenol murders
When seven people in September 1982 died in a small district in Chicago, Illinois – two after gathering to mourn the death of another victim – and it was discovered that the cause of death was cyanide-laced extra-strength Tylenol pain relief capsules, experts sounded the death knell for the popular American drug.
Video: CBS report on murders in 1982
However, there was a ray of light for Johnson & Johnson, the drug's manufacturer when Illinois police quickly ruled out contamination at the company's plants, saying they were looking for a rogue operator, possibly taking bottles off the shelves in local pharmacies to contaminate. J&J acted quickly to recall the drug – which was their most profitable product at the time – and started a big two-phase public relations campaign. The first involved cooperating with the media and advertising the message that the public should not use any Tylenol-based drug but should return them to the company for a refund.

Uruguay is going ahead with a vote on marriage equality in the Chamber of Deputies next Tuesday, December 11, according to the Argentina Independent. The Senate would then hold a vote in 2013, sometime after the summer recess.
The country nestled between Argentina and Brazil has earned a reputation as a liberal enclave. Uruguay previously approved a civil union law in 2007.
Other countries currently considering same sex marriage legislation include the UK, Scotland, France, Luxembourg, New Zealand, and some states in Australia.
Uruguay would be the 12th country to allow gay couples to marry nationwide, and the second in South America, joining Argentina. The United States, Mexico, and Brazil offer same sex marriage in varying locations.

I posted that photo of the Tim Lincecum cake I made while back on Twitter today that reminded me that I'd meant to post a recipe. Truth is, you can make it with any cake in a round pan and pretty much any frosting, as long as it's thick and has a good hold for all the jazz you're going to put on top of it. Personally, I adore carrot cake (not the grating-the-carrots part, but the rest of it), so that's what this cake was. And since the recipe I use is basically the greatest thing since Oh, Inverted World met the world, I'm going to include it here.
Carrot Cake
You will need:
- 1 1/3 of a cup of vegetable oil
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of all-spice
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
- 4 cups of grated carrots (about 4 carrots)
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup of coarsely chopped, toasted walnuts (optional)
To make:
Preheat your oven to 350℉. Pour a bit of melted butter into a round cake pan and line with wax paper.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and all-spice thoroughly. Set aside. In a medium bowl, cream sugar and oil. Mix well. Add egg mixture. Slowly fold in the dry ingredients. Once it is smooth, add carrots, orange zest and walnuts. Spread evenly into the cake pan and bake until golden brown and firm, about 25-30 minutes. A skewer should come out clean. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
You will need:
- 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup), soft
- 1 pound of cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
To make:
Beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat for about 4 more minutes, until smooth and fluffy.
I made Timmy's face orange, in honor of them Giants, even though he really has the skin-tone of a vampire. Creative license, guys! You can experiment with yellow and red food coloring until you get the shade you want. Add to the frosting and incorporate it well. Using a flat, metal spatula, frost the cake, getting it as smooth on the top as you can. From here, you can do absolutely anything! I used black licorice for Timmy's hair, red jelly beans for his mouth, a walnut for his nose, green lifesavers and chocolate chips for his eyes. To make the eyebrows, I cut two pieces of black licorice in half the long way, so as not to give him the David-Wright-eyebrow look.
Then prop a Giants cap up on top of it and enjoy!
See? Not so hard. And it's probably a good idea to make it right about now, because otherwise you may spontaneously combust from rage about those Braves-Cardinals umps.
Let's do this thing, Texas! Antlers on. Ready to go. I may have to make a Yu Darvish cake for Yu. I mean you.

Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, posted a new video about a new change coming to Google's search results related to the diversity of the results being displayed.
Matt said that Google is launching "soon" a new change that will make it less likely to see results from the same domain name, if you already have been shown that domain name in previous results three or four times before. Matt explained that once you've seen a cluster of about four results from a specific domain name, the subsequent pages are going to be less likely to show you results from that domain name.
To explain this in more detail, Cutts explained the history behind domain diversity in the search results. As Matt explained, the goal is to strike the right balance between offering diverse results but at the same time returning the best and most authoritative search results for the query.
The history for domain clustering within Google is as follows:
- There was no restrictions in the number of results per domain name. This turned out to be a bad thing, as Matt explained.
- Google added "host clustering," that prevented more than two results per domain name to be shown in the search results. Webmasters got around this by placing content on subdomains.
- Google expanded the clustering to show a max of 3 or 4 results per domain, instead.
- Google then changed this to show more diversity on the first page of results but show less diversity on the secondary pages. So you'd likely not see more than two results from the same domain name on the first page, but you can see several results from the same domain on secondary pages.
- Launching soon is a change to this to show less from the same domain, even on subsequent pages, after you've already seen about four results from the same domain for that query.
Google has frequently changed the diversity of domains in the search results and we expected this change as we reported earlier.
Matt Cutts did explain this most recent change was in response to several complaints, likely including our complaint about the diversity of the search results.
Here is the video:

Al-Quds Univ. to Cut Ties with Israeli Academia
August 20, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Maan News Agency
Jerusalem – Ma'an – Al-Quds University will cease all forms of academic cooperation with Israeli academic institutions soon, the school's board determined on Sunday.
"In cooperation with all sides and under an accepted timetable," the university will phase out programs and cooperation, the university board said in a statement.
It added that, "If the two-state solution is as far away today as it was ten years ago, there is no justification for continued academic cooperation based on reaching that solution."
"And there is no justification for continued official and non-official cooperation in other fields, foremost security coordination between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel," the board noted.
"Ending academic cooperation is aimed at, first of all, pressuring Israel to abide by a solution that ends the occupation, a solution that has been needed for far too long and that the international community has stopped demanding," the board said.
It also noted that the decision came "in response to the prior Israeli onslaught [on Gaza]; the acts and policies of Israeli governments over the past ten years, including settlement construction in East Jerusalem, the tightening of the siege on the occupied territories and thwarting any negotiated peace process that will lead to an independent Palestinian state living in peace alongside Israel."
It also affirmed the necessity for all those involved, including government organizations, civil society groups, domestic and international, to focus on a just and prompt solution for the Palestinian cause. The statement insisted that all parties involved press for a solution according to "international legitimacy and Arab and international efforts."
The board called for the international community to pressure the Israeli government to comply with international legitimacy and call for taking legal and political action for Israel's "dangerous crimes and violations in Gaza," as well as Israel's "illegal acts in the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

As global leaders prepare to attend the G20 summit in Mexico (18–19 June), they have been urged to offer more support to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in gaining access to finance, by ensuring that a more widespread approach is taken to policy development for the sector and that there are greater levels of co-ordination at a global level.
The ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Global Forum for SMEs has said in its new Global Agenda on Access to Finance for SMEs, that more co-ordinated and consistent efforts are needed when it comes to SME financing policy.
Mexico, which holds the Presidency of the G20 for 2012, has put fostering financial inclusion to promote economic growth among its five priorities for the G20 this year.
The Global Forum's agenda outlines the challenge facing the G20 in these areas, saying that SMEs around the world need - but are not receiving $4 trillion in financing - and that official 'SME' or 'enterprise' policy forms only a small part of the actual policies relevant to the development of SMEs.
The Global Forum argues that more attention ought to be given to how central government departments impact on SMEs who may have more influence on how SMEs access finance than the departments or agencies responsible for business and enterprise. For example, those departments responsible for fiscal policy, justice or employment law may well have a bigger effect on SMEs' access to finance – through their decisions on tax policy on equity funding, setting up or developing better access to efficient credit information facilities right through to well-functioning property and contract law frameworks.
While governments are right to try to address the funding gap for SMEs by offering loan guarantees or providing SME funds from the central budget, they need to consider carefully how sustainable these are, especially where they seek to heavily subsidise the cost of borrowing. The full potential for defaults on such schemes cannot be deduced from the first years of operation, during which scrutiny tends to be highest. Awareness levels of the schemes also need to be carefully addressed where the demand for such products is often low.
Official institutions, such as banks, through which these funds and products are often channelled, need to be encouraged to promote them more actively to their SME clients.
The agenda also says that while banks remain the most significant source of external finance for formal small firms, bank finance is generally only available to those businesses that can offer collateral or a strong record of generating profit. This leaves a large number of SMEs which need large investments, but which have mostly intangible assets. While it is right that much effort is invested in encouraging banks to reach out to the SME sector and provide more suitable financial products to existing clients, alternatives to bank lending need to generate similar attention and investment in order to build more complete financing markets for SMEs.
While the microfinance sector is offering a promising solution by tapping into social networks on the ground for the information that banks are missing, the extent to which it helps the SME sector needs to be better understood at a macro level, especially where experiences from a number of markets can be shared. The option of equity finance also needs to be improved, and emerging and innovative financing solutions need to be encouraged and supported, including 'crowd funding', which uses online communities for raising equity.
Without the buy-in of a major industry, these alternatives to bank lending run the risk of not fulfilling their potential. While more research is needed to enable evidence-based policy, these efforts need to be highlighted at a global level to ensure that the goodwill and the potential for greater levels of financial inclusion behind many such initiatives are harnessed for the benefit of small business.
The agenda also says that while a lot of emphasis is placed on how companies present their business plans when approaching lenders or investors, more should be placed on finding out how sound internal governance practices are implemented and communicated. This approach should be promoted within the global policy circles with the aim of sending strong messages to national policymakers. SMEs should also be encouraged to consider how they use technological solutions in helping them with financial management.
The agenda says that the skills gap among business owners need to be addressed. Very few have formal enterprise or management training which has an impact on their ability to access finance – from having the knowhow to present a business plan, navigating through the financial markets on offer, to knowing how to apply business skills and acumen to manage and grow their business with a strategic approach to its operations, and ultimately finance.
It calls on the accountancy profession to address this challenge, and to work with governments and other relevant institutions such as SME bodies, to provide financial literacy and management training for owner-managers. The Forum urges international organisations to work with national governments to encourage much wider use of such initiatives in the interest of raising the level of skills, with a particular emphasis on working with the existing SME intermediaries to enable a reliable access to the sector.
'Small businesses around the world all face the same challenge - which is how they access finance. With an estimated 420-510 million SMEs worldwide, which between them have an unmet need of nearly $4trillion in funding, the way in which they access the capital they need to start, survive and grow is of paramount importance to the global economy.
'There are a range of issues which policy makers, banks and the accountancy profession need to address and we urge the G20 to consider many of these problems at its meeting. There are persistent market failures that stand in the way of a long-lasting change in SME financing across the world and we hope the G20 can begin to address them, and we look forward to discussing these issues further with G20 members and other bodies around the world,' said Mark Gold, Chairman of ACCA's Global Forum for SMEs.

A paper studying the decline of women in ministry in the Church of God during the last half of the 20th century by Dr. David Roebuck, Church of God historian, served as the foundation of the discussion.
"Back in college, I was blessed to know some wonderful women ministers. (I) went to a general assembly (business meeting in the Church of God) in which there was a discussion of should the roles of women be expanded. …There was immediately an overwhelming vote to table the issue and I could see the pain in the eyes of my friends, these women I respected," Roebuck said.
A great decline in women in ministry in the church of God was seen by 1990. Roebuck said his dissertation sought to find why 18.2 percent of people in ministry in 1950 in the U.S. and Canada were women, and why that number declined to 7.7 percent in 1990. Today, worldwide in the Church of God, 15 percent of ministers are women.
During this decline, women were often regulated to being "lady evangelists" or serving groups such as children or other women.
"Generally, people viewed them as less powerful … in a hierarchical society," Roebuck said.
Few were seen in church pulpits. Roebuck said women would be given the churches that men did not want to pastor.
"Of the major Pentecostal denominations the Church of God has been one of the more restrictive regarding women ministers. Throughout our (history) we have supported women in preaching roles, that is roles that are spirit-empowered, and (yet) excluded women from the highest ordination (as bishops) and administrative offices," Roebuck said.
Changes were also seen in how the church approached evangelism. In 1956, a committee was formed to "create programs to assist churches with revivals" to provide more structure to evangelism efforts. In church publications, many times women were simply acknowledged as pastor's wives.
The establishment of ministries just for women also contributed to a decline in women in pastoral positions. During World War II, the Church of God emphasized women's roles as mothers, discouraging them from taking jobs outside the home, Roebuck said. Rather, they were encouraged to stay at home and care for their children.
A contributing factor, according to Roebuck, was putting women in a category of their own and giving them different titles limiting the positions they filled.
The remaining panelists spoke on how the current view of women in ministry and their positions might be changed to give true freedom in ministry.
Dr. Daniella Augustine, assistant professor of theological ethics, said the baptism in the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost made the Church a continuation of Jesus' ministry, "doing the will of the Father through the power of the Spirit."
Augustine said the shift and decline in the role of women in ministry was influenced by a societal shift in their view of God.
"What can we do to change this disturbing trend? … In order to empower women for ministry we need to construct a theology of empowerment that reflects our heritage … across gender, racial and economic divides," Augustine said.
For such a theology to be constructed, it must be built on the framework of equality through salvation which restores human beings to a relationship with God as bearing his image. She said this leads to a wholeness and equality. She said subordination of women is the result of the curse brought on the world by sin in the book of Genesis.
Redemption "empowered us to live in His (God's) likeness," Augustine said.
Women throughout the Bible served in key ministry roles. Augustine pointed to Lydia as the first pastor of a house church in Europe, Phoebe (deaconess), Photini "The Samaritan Women" (evangelist) and others.
"In order to empower women, our holiness needs to translate into anthropological wholeness," said Dr. Lisa Stephenson, assistant professor of systematic theology. "Within (American) Pentecostalism, women have repeatedly received a restricted freedom despite the beliefs of Spirit empowerment."
Stephenson said the root of this is allowing the Spirit-led freedom from Acts 2 to be understood differently based on gender.
"However, this need not and should not be the case," Stephenson said.
She said the baptism in the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 brings brought unity eliminating restrictions in the church society as men and women received this gift. Stephenson pointed out that after the events in Acts 2 those previously restricted from being close to God, such as the Samaritans, became Christians.
To empower women, the church needs to work to not separate women solely into their own ministry opportunities. Stephenson said as women have been limited to ministering to their own they have been viewed anthropologically as "the other."
Dr. Angela Waltrip, adjunct faculty member at Lee University and the seminary, and the Rev. Cathy Payne, Global Missions coordinator for the Church of God of Prophecy, shared more personal experiences with the events described.
"When we speak of holiness we think of testimony," Waltrip said. "Our stories join God's stories. ... Women have testified that they have a call to preach. ... When I preach I come to a greater knowledge of who God is in my life and in the lives of brothers and sisters around me. I have to preach. It's my testimony."
Waltrip said she knows she has been called to preach and it is her response to what God has done.
A change in vocabulary is needed for true equality of positions, Waltrip said. She said sometimes a women's role in ministry is seen merely as assisting or serving while someone else can take a break. She said often there is not an expectation that a women with credentials with minister in the pulpit.
"We must instill expectation (for women who are called to preach and minister)," Waltrip said.
She said when she worked with female ministry students on Europe, "none could say they received expectation to minister," Waltrip said.
Waltrip said expectation is essential to Pentecostalism.
Payne said as leaders in the church have limited women, "They were limiting the work of the Holy Spirit."
"I have often reflected on my place in ministry and leadership, as I have been told many times I need to find where that is," Payne said.
She said often in ministry she has been placed in positions under male authority other than her husband.
While men in the church may not have made room for women in ministry, God makes "a place" for those he calls, she said.
"I have been amazed at the opportunities God has used to position me and many other women in a place of liberty and anointing, not by title but rather by him finding a space and getting us there ... positioning for purpose," Payne said.

$150,000 bail for Chicago Ridge fire official charged with attempted murder
BY JON SEIDEL AND JASON FREEMAN Staff Reporters January 6, 2013 11:50AM

Updated: February 8, 2013 6:19AM
Gary M. Swiercz served in the Army, escorted soldiers home from duty and serves today as the deputy chief of the Chicago Ridge Fire Department, his attorney said.
But prosecutors said the 49-year-old from Tinley Park is the same man who broke into a female neighbor's apartment in the south suburb early Saturday wearing a ski mask and carrying a knife, rope, zip ties and duct tape and then threatened to slit her throat.
Swiercz is now charged with attempted first-degree murder, home invasion, aggravated unlawful restraint, residential burglary and attempted aggravated criminal sexual assault — prosecutors said he was also carrying an 8-inch sex toy and lubricant.
Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. set Swiercz's bail at $150,000 when Swiercz appeared in bond court Sunday. Chicago Ridge fire officials, meanwhile, said he is on indefinite administrative leave. If he makes bail, Bourgeois said, Swiercz will be subject to electronic monitoring.
Members of Swiercz's family, who attended Sunday's court hearing, declined to speak to reporters. His attorney, Colleen McSweeney Moore, suggested prescription medication might be to blame, but she later said that's merely speculation and couldn't give details.
She said Swiercz is a recipient of the Army's Good Conduct Medal, helps with Toys for Tots and served as the fire chief in south suburban Worth from 2005 to 2008.
"This is an aberration and totally out of character for this man," she told the judge.
Assistant State's Attorney Dan Calandriello said Swiercz lives in the same condominium complex as his victim and entered her home early Saturday. He said Swiercz put his hands over her mouth and put a 3½-inch blade to her throat.
He held his victim's hands together, Calandriello said, as he led her from her living room to the kitchen where he forced her up against a kitchen cabinet while she was screaming.
The prosecutor said Swiercz threw his victim to the ground, and court records allege he slammed her head on the tiled kitchen floor three times.
A struggle ensued, and the attacker fled, police said.
Calandriello said the woman was left with a swollen lip and a knot in the back of her head. Prosecutors allege Swiercz fled out the rear door of the woman's condo — the same door used to get in.
Police arrived around 2:35 a.m., and the woman was treated at the scene for minor injuries, according to Tinley Park police. Swiercz was seen in the condo's parking lot and matched the victim's description, police said.
Witnesses later saw Swiercz throwing items away in a Dumpster, Calandriello said.
The beige brick condominium unit where it all happened is a three-story building with one unit on each side. Swiercz's blinds were partially open Sunday, revealing a Christmas tree and a dark interior. His balcony had a portable black grill on it, but nothing else.
A home security salesman visited the home of a neighbor who asked not to be named. She said she's lived there only "a short time" and heard the victim screaming.
"I'm uncomfortable even being here," she said. "It's just disgusting."
She said she'd met Swiercz and he seemed like a nice person.
"He was just like a regular guy," she said. "He didn't bother anybody. He would say hi, and when I first moved in, he introduced himself to me."
But her mother told a reporter the suspect, a public servant, "is supposed to be helping people."

"So I've used this two days total now. Once was only half a day: applied it, went out in town, got home a couple hours later, took a shower, and there was no trace of it. Not even on the towel. I also noticed I didn't need any eyelid primer

September 17, 2009 by TMO
We will update this post as we learn of more country announcements of when 'Eid will be.
UAE on 9/15/09 announced that 'Eid would be Saturday, 9/19/09.
Saudi Arabia: Unsure as of 9/18/09.
Note: In Saudi Arabia 'Eidul Fitr and 'Eidul Adha are each ten-day holidays, and typically Saudi Arabia reduces work hours during Ramadan to 6 hours per day. Saudi weekends are Thursday and Friday.
Turkey: Sunday 9/20/09 is 'Eidul Fitr
FCNA/ISNA has announced 'Eid will be Sunday, 9/20/09.

The doom of Pashur, who ill-treated the prophet. (1-6) Jeremiah complains of hard usage. (7-13) He regrets his ever having been born. (14-18)
Verses 1-6 Pashur smote Jeremiah, and put him in the stocks. Jeremiah was silent till God put a word into his mouth. To confirm this, Pashur has a name given him, "Fear on every side." It speaks a man not only in distress, but in despair; not only in danger, but in fear on every side. The wicked are in great fear where no fear is, for God can make the most daring sinner a terror to himself. And those who will not hear of their faults from God's prophets, shall be made to hear them from their consciences. Miserable is the man thus made a terror to himself. His friends shall fail him. God lets him live miserably, that he may be a monument of Divine justice.
Verses 7-13 The prophet complains of the insult and injury he experienced. But ver. ( 7 ) may be read, Thou hast persuaded me, and I was persuaded. Thou wast stronger than I; and didst overpower me by the influence of thy Spirit upon me. So long as we see ourselves in the way of God, and of duty, it is weakness and folly, when we meet with difficulties and discouragements, to wish we had never set out in it. The prophet found the grace of God mighty in him to keep him to his business, notwithstanding the temptation he was in to throw it up. Whatever injuries are done to us, we must leave them to that God to whom vengeance belongs, and who has said, I will repay. So full was he of the comfort of God's presence, the Divine protection he was under, and the Divine promise he had to depend upon, that he stirred up himself and others to give God the glory. Let the people of God open their cause before Him, and he will enable them to see deliverance.
Verses 14-18 When grace has the victory, it is good to be ashamed of our folly, to admire the goodness of God, and be warned to guard our spirits another time. See how strong the temptation was, over which the prophet got the victory by Divine assistance! He is angry that his first breath was not his last. While we remember that these wishes are not recorded for us to utter the like, we may learn good lessons from them. See how much those who think they stand, ought to take heed lest they fall, and to pray daily, Lead us not into temptation. How frail, changeable, and sinful is man! How foolish and unnatural are the thoughts and wishes of our hearts, when we yield to discontent! Let us consider Him who endured the contradiction of sinners against himself, lest we should be at any time weary and faint in our minds under our lesser trials.
Jeremiah 20:1-18 . JEREMIAH'S INCARCERATION BY PASHUR, THE PRINCIPAL OFFICER OF THE TEMPLE, FOR PROPHESYING WITHIN ITS PRECINCTS; HIS RENEWED PREDICTIONS AGAINST THE CITY, &c., ON HIS LIBERATION.
1. son--descendant.
of Immer--one of the original "governors of the sanctuary and of the house of God," twenty-four in all, that is, sixteen of the sons of Eleazar and eight of the sons of Ithamar ( 1 Chronicles 24:14 ). This Pashur is distinct from Pashur, son of Melchiah ( Jeremiah 21:1 ). The "captains" ( Luke 22:4 ) seem to have been over the twenty-four guards of the temple, and had only the right of apprehending any who were guilty of delinquency within it; but the Sanhedrim had the judicial power over such delinquents [GROTIUS] ( Jeremiah 26:8 Jeremiah 26:10 Jeremiah 26:16 ).
2. The fact that Pashur was of the same order and of the same family as Jeremiah aggravates the indignity of the blow ( 1 Kings 22:24 , Matthew 26:67 ).
stocks--an instrument of torture with five holes, in which the neck, two hands, and two feet were thrust, the body being kept in a crooked posture ( Jeremiah 29:26 ). From a Hebrew root, to "turn," or "rack." This marks Pashur's cruelty.
high--that is, the upper gate ( 2 Kings 15:35 ).
gate of Benjamin--a gate in the temple wall, corresponding to the gate of Benjamin, properly so called, in the city wall, in the direction of the territory of Benjamin ( Jeremiah 7:2 , 37:13 , 38:7 ). The temple gate of Benjamin, being on a lofty position, was called "the high gate," to distinguish it from the city wall gate of Benjamin.
3. Pashur--compounded of two roots, meaning "largeness (and so 'security') on every side"; in antithesis to Magor-missabib, "terror round about" ( Jeremiah 20:10 , Jeremiah 6:25 , 46:5 , 49:29 , Psalms 31:13 ).
4. terror . . . to all thy friends--who have believed thy false promises ( Jeremiah 20:6 ). The sense must be in order to accord with "fear round about" ( Jeremiah 20:3 ). I will bring terror on thee and on all thy friends, that terror arising from thyself, namely, thy false prophecies. Thou and thy prophecies will be seen, to the dismay both of thee and thy dupes, to have caused their ruin and thine. MAURER'S translation is therefore not needed, "I will give up thee and all thy friends to terror."
5. strength--that is, resources.
labours--fruits of labor, gain, wealth.
6. prophesied lies--namely, that God cannot possibly leave this land without prophets, priests, and teachers ("the wise") ( Jeremiah 18:18 ; compare Jeremiah 5:31 ).
7. Jeremiah's complaint, not unlike that of Job, breathing somewhat of human infirmity in consequence of his imprisonment. Thou didst promise never to give me up to the will of mine enemies, and yet Thou hast done so. But Jeremiah misunderstood God's promise, which was not that he should have nothing to suffer, but that God would deliver him out of sufferings ( Jeremiah 1:19 ).
deceived--Others translate as Margin, "Thou hast enticed" or "persuaded me," namely, to undertake the prophetic office, "and I was persuaded," that is, suffered myself to be persuaded to undertake what I find too hard for me. So the Hebrew word is used in a good sense ( Genesis 9:27 , Margin; Proverbs 25:15 , Hosea 2:14 ).
stronger than I--Thou whose strength I could not resist hast laid this burden on me, and hast prevailed (hast made me prophesy, in spite of my reluctance) ( Jeremiah 1:5-7 ); yet, when I exercise my office, I am treated with derision ( Lamentations 3:14 ).
8. Rather, "Whenever I speak, I cry out. Concerning violence and spoil, I (am compelled to) cry out," that is, complain [MAURER]. English Version in the last clause is more graphic, "I cried violence and spoil" ( Jeremiah 6:7 )! I could not speak in a calm tone; their desperate wickedness compelled me to "cry out."
because--rather, "therefore," the apodosis of the previous sentence; because in discharging my prophetic functions, I not merely spake, but cried; and cried, violence . . . ; therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproach to me ( Jeremiah 20:7 ).
9. his word was--or literally, "there was in my heart, as it were, a burning fire," that is, the divine afflatus or impulse to speak was as . . . ( Job 32:18 Job 32:19 , Psalms 39:3 ).
weary with forbearing, and I could not--"I labored to contain myself, but I could not" ( Acts 18:5 ; compare Jeremiah 23:9 , 1 Corinthians 9:16 1 Corinthians 9:17 ).
10. For--not referring to the words immediately preceding, but to "I will not make mention of Him." The "defaming" or detraction of the enemy on every side (see Psalms 31:13 ) tempted him to think of prophesying no more.
Report . . . we will report--The words of his adversaries one to the other; give any information against him (true or false) which will give color for accusing him; and "we will report it," namely, to the Sanhedrim, in order to crush him.
familiars--literally, "men of my peace"; those who pretended to be on peaceable terms with me ( Psalms 41:9 ). Jeremiah is a type of Messiah, referred to in that Psalm. (See Jeremiah 38:22 , Job 19:19 , Psalms 55:13 Psalms 55:14 , Luke 11:53 Luke 11:54 ).
watched for my halting--( Psalms 35:15 , Margin, "halting"; Psalms 38:17 , 71:10 , Margin). GESENIUS not so well translates, according to Arabic idiom, "those guarding my side" (that is, my most intimate friends always at my side), in apposition to "familiars," and the subject of "say" (instead of "saying). The Hebrew means properly "side," then "halting," as the halt bend on one side.
enticed--to commit some sin.
11. not prevail--as they hoped to do ( Jeremiah 20:10 , Jeremiah 15:20 ).
prosper--in their plot.
12. triest the righteous--in latent contrast to the hasty judgments of men ( Jeremiah 11:20 , 17:10 ).
opened--that is, committed (compare 2 Kings 19:14 , Psalms 35:1 ).
13. delivered . . . soul--This deliverance took place when Zedekiah succeeded Jeconiah.
14-18. The contrast between the spirit of this passage and the preceding thanksgiving is to be explained thus: to show how great was the deliverance ( Jeremiah 20:13 ), he subjoins a picture of what his wounded spirit had been previous to his deliverance; I had said in the time of my imprisonment, "Cursed be the day"; my feeling was that of Job ( Job 3:3 Job 3:10 Job 3:11 , whose words Jeremiah therefore copies). Though Jeremiah's zeal had been stirred up, not so much for self as for God's honor trampled on by the rejection of the prophet's words, yet it was intemperate when he made his birth a subject for cursing, which was really a ground for thanksgiving.
15. A man child--The birth of a son is in the East a special subject of joy; whereas that of a daughter is often not so.
16. the cities--Sodom and Gomorrah.
cry . . . morning . . . noontide--that is, Let him be kept in alarm the whole day (not merely at night when terrors ordinarily prevail, but in daytime when it is something extraordinary) with terrifying war shouts, as those in a besieged city ( Jeremiah 18:22 ).
17. he--"that man" ( Jeremiah 20:15 Jeremiah 20:16 ).
from the womb--that is, at that time while I was still in the womb.

An intimate look at Mark Twain that only he himself could offer
A must-have for all lovers of Mark Twain, this selection of his autobiographical writings opens a rare window onto the writer's life, particularly his early years. Born on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, Samuel Langhorne Clemens first used the pseudonym Mark Twain while a journalist in Nevada in 1863. When his first major book, The Innocents Abroad, appeared six years later, he began what would become one of the most celebrated and influential careers in American letters. Autobiographical Writings will help readers know the author intimately and appreciate why, a century after his death, he remains so vital and appealing.

Winning with tolerance | Sydney lesbian club shows Australia it is bats for football
Attired in bat wings, wearing trademark rainbow socks and marching behind a batmobile, the Flying Bats Football Club celebrated its "I Love Soccer" theme in March at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, one of the largest such parades worldwide. (theflyingbats.com)
Editor's note: The following represents the first in a series of articles related to women's soccer cultures in the 16 nations participating in the fifth FIFA Women's World Cup. The tournament begins in China on Sept 10.
Sydney | The Flying Bats' fifth-division representative in the North West Sydney Women's Soccer Association suffered its worst outing of the season on Aug 5: a 0–6 loss to Thornleigh. The taste of humiliation still lingered the following morning for team member Danielle Warby, who called the experience both "embarrassing" and "painful."
But the community liaison for the Flying Bats Women's Football Club, the longest-running lesbian soccer club in Australia's capital, offers more fundamental reasons for the club's existence—more fundamental than its four teams compiling impressive win-loss records. Socially, the club injects fun into competitive sport and, according to Warby, provides a network, especially for younger players, that does not revolve solely around the drinking culture that is strong in Australia and among Sydney's gay community.
Further, the club offers an ethos of acceptance that has come about from having been on the receiving end of discrimination following the Bats' establishment in 1986. The preamble to the club's Code of Conduct (Aug 06) sets out the principles of diversity, tolerance and inclusion that, as Warby tells us from Sydney during an interview Aug 6 (see podcast below), were acquired after joining a competitive association.
When we joined that competition there was quite a lot of confrontation and hard work to get accepted. A lot of the people didn't have much interaction with gay people. It was kind of a shock I think to some people, especially the younger lads who were there supporting their girlfriends—we'd get a lot of lip from them. Over the years things have changed dramatically.
Thus, the Flying Bats uphold tenets of fair play and the "spirit of sportswomanship." The club's policy on tolerance offers a nuanced reading of the topic that might have come from a philosophy seminar or from an enlightened roundtable discussion on theological ethics:
Tolerance is of two kinds. The first is a begrudging acceptance of some diversity, so long as differences do not impinge too uncomfortably on daily routines, habits, or attitudes. The second is actively seeking and welcoming differences, enjoying comparisons, and using the energy associated with the resolution of tension and conflict creatively.
For such strength of organization the Flying Bats have gained international attention. They form part of a network of women's and lesbian-identified clubs in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Ukraine, Germany and the United States. Players commit to weekly training and instruction, to Sunday matches over a five-month season and to pre-season grading by ability and fitness to determine placement in the appropriate division.

Loudspeaker Driver in a Vented Enclosure
Model ID: 2312
This example models the acoustic behavior of a woofer mounted in a bass reflex enclosure and placed in the corner of a room.
One of the most important design parameters for a loudspeaker driver is its sensitivity as a function of the frequency. To isolate the driver's performance from that of the environment it usually operates in, the driver is often set in an infinite baffle. This model, on the other hand, considers the parameters of the room.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

[OS] US/CANADA/ENERGY - US may delay pipeline decision past 2012 election

09 Nov 2011 23:53
WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - The United States may choose to reroute a
proposed Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline, a move that could defer a decision
on approving the politically charged project beyond the 2012 U.S.
election, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.
Studying a new route for the Keystone XL pipeline, which is opposed by
many environmentalists and backed by industry, could take 12-18 months,
the official said. That would put a final decision after President Barack
Obama's re-election bid in November 2012.
The U.S. official said the time would be needed to examine the
environmental impact of TransCanada Corp's <TRP.TO> $7 billion Keystone XL
project, considered the most important North American oil pipeline plan
for several decades.
"The best judgment is somewhere between a year and 18 months," the
official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters, saying the
assessment could happen faster but was unlikely to be completed in less
than a year.
Mark Routt, an analyst at the KBC consultancy in Houston, said the delay
could scuttle the proposal. "To delay the decision on Keystone XL is in
effect a decision itself," he said. "I think in all likelihood that a
delay would kill the project."
A TransCanada spokesman said on Wednesday a delay would not make sense and
would leave the United States dependent on tanker traffic and oil imports
from the Middle East.
Some of Obama's liberal supporters have strongly opposed the project and
delaying a decision could allow him to avoid antagonizing
environmentalists disillusioned with his progress on climate change.
Green groups, which are part of the president's voter base, have rallied
to oppose development of the oil sands, which they say release more carbon
dioxide than other crude oils
But a delay could also could open Obama to attacks from Republicans and
oil industry groups who say the project would create many jobs and improve
U.S. energy security.
On Sunday, thousands of anti-pipeline protesters encircled the White House
demanding Obama kill the project, months after 1,200 opponents were
arrested there during another action.
"The U.S. administration is feeling the heat and wants to put off a
decision until after the election," said John Bennett of the Sierra Club
Canada. "It's the first time the environment has trumped oil in U.S.
The State Department had hoped to decide on the 1,700-mile (2,740-km)
project by the end of the year, but recently opened the door to the chance
of a delay.
The U.S. official said the government could opt for an alternative route
to shift it away from Nebraska's Sand Hills region, home to endangered
species and a major aquifer.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the agency was looking at all
of the ideas raised during public meetings on the pipeline, but declined
to provide details.
"It's one of many issues that we have discussed that were raised during
these public hearings that we held, and all of those issues are currently
under review as we move forward," Toner told reporters at a briefing.
A long delay could be a blow to Alberta's oil sands interests as shippers
and refiners may abandon support for the project, Russ Girling, the CEO of
TransCanada, said last week.
The pipeline would run through six states in the central United States,
and opposition is toughest in Nebraska, where the Legislature is
conducting a two-week special session in an attempt to route the line away
from the Ogallala aquifer.
Further delay on the project, which is already about a year behind
schedule following an extended U.S. government review process, could roil
oil markets.
Traders are counting on Keystone's 700,000 barrel-per-day capacity to
relieve a buildup of crude in the U.S. Midwest, which does not have enough
pipelines to ship growing Canadian output to Gulf Coast refineries for use
across the United States.
Canadian Oil Minister Joe Oliver said oil sands development would go
forward, no matter what the State Department decided on the line.
"We remain committed to developing the oil sands, a proven strategic
resource for Canada that create jobs and economic opportunity for
Canadians in all provinces and regions in the country," he said.
As complications for Keystone mounted, another project that would drain
some of the Midwest glut, but not extend into Canada, took a step forward.
Enbridge Inc <ENB.TO> said on Wednesday it would likely proceed with its
800,000 barrel-per-day Wrangler pipeline from the Cushing storage hub in
Oklahoma to Gulf of Mexico refineries. [ID:nN1E7A80QT]
Pat Daniel, Enbridge's chief executive, said his company and partner
Enterprise Product Partners <EPD.N> had received strong interest from
would-be shippers on the line.
While Enbridge is still discussing terms and conditions with shippers, the
company said there was enough interest for both Wrangler and an expansion
of its line from Illinois, to Cushing to proceed.
"We expect to conclude those discussions with sufficient volumes to
proceed with both segments of the line," Daniel said. (Additional
