Introduction: In order to drastically reduce combined sewer overflows as fast as possible, Columbus Department of Public Utilities is planning to build a near surface relief sewer. Phase 1 would go from the Whittier Peninsula to Jackson Pike treatment plant, by crossing under the Scioto at Greenlawn Dam and cutting down the river side of Berliner Park. It would be constructed by 2010 and is predicted to reduce combined sewer overflows by almost 70%. The Sierra Club urges that restoration of damage from the 100 foot wide open cut trench be done with native plants.
INTERIM (2010) PLAN Application 01-303-PW
Central Ohio Sierra Club
36 West Gay Street, Ste 314; Columbus OH 43215
These comments are in response to the City of Columbus' Combined Sewer Long Term Control – Interim (2010) Plan ("the Interim Control Plan"). The three components of the Interim Plan are the near surface relief sewer phase I, weir raising of combined sewer overflow (CSO) regulators, and treatment plant improvements. These comments are based on the Responsiveness Summary compiled and distributed by Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA).
Constraints on the Jackson Pike Treatment Facility
The Jackson Pike Treatment Facility is an important component of the Interim Control Plan, as well as the Wet Weather Management Plan. Even if proposed actions in the Interim Plan do not require more property, Jackson Pike is severely constrained and will become more so over time. The Sierra Club supports expansion of the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant, not only treatment plant capacity, but also expanding the acreage available.Impacts on Natural Areas and Parks (p. 2 of Responsiveness Summary)
Restoration and revegetation with native plants can lead to environmental improvement. Permits to install for surface disturbances should incorporate such an approach. Sewer easements will be necessary for the Interim Plan and can build toward a wider river corridor, with more generous buffers, revegetated with native plants.Use Attainment and Antidegradation Status (p. 2-3 of Responsiveness Summary)
The proposed near surface tunnel for combined flows must achieve promised reductions and not just move the problem further downstream. OEPA has not completely addressed the questions raised by The Nature Conservancy about beneficial use redesignation, nor offered alternatives if promised benefits do not come to pass.Summary of Discharges, Current, and Predicted (Pages 4-5 of Summary)
OEPA asked for discharges current, 2010, and 2030 from Columbus.Table 1 summarizes most combined sewer overflows (CSOs). It predicts a 65% reduction in volume by 2010. Table 2 adds discharges from Whittier Street, with total CSO reductions promised. Calculations, however, are based only on averaged one year storm and larger storms would cause more overflows. Until the High Rate Treatment facility is complete, CSOs are predicted at Jackson Pike at least 12 times a year. After 2017, partially treated wastewater would be released from the HRT facility, and there would continue to be CSOs at least four times per year.
Table 3 shows sanitary sewer overflow points on main trunk sewers, so illustrates 12 out of the more than 100 total. Also, it only charts 2005 to 2010 and does not project beyond that. The 2030 scenario should be added.
The discussion of bypasses notes differences in modeling results. We support independent outside examination of the modeling. The Responsiveness Summary concludes that bypass frequency would be every 6 months for the one year storm – but more active at larger storm levels. There is no chart of bypass frequency, current or predicted. There is no discussion of how much additional flow would be diverted to Southerly and whether that would affect bypasses in wet weather. Combined wet weather flows at Southerly could be used to try and lower treatment standards.
Combined flows should be segregated, especially in wet weather. It is also important to continuously reduce total combined flow.
Environmental Damage and Public Access (page 5)
Coordination with Columbus Division of Recreation and Parks and planners is highly desirable. The goal must be to do better than "minimal environmental damage;" the goal should be to improve the river corridor aiming for a wider greenway with generous buffers. This goal can inform the Interim Control Plan and the longer term implementation of the Wet Weather Plan. An overarching goal to restore and enhance the river corridor will help with water quality, flooding, erosion control, stormwater management, and more.General Comments on Interim Plan and Wet Weather Management Plan
The Sierra Club recognizes the urgency to reduce combined sewer overflows to meet the 2010 deadline of the 2004 Consent Order. It is important to keep combined flows separate during wet weather, thereby reducing total combined flows and untreated discharges.The Interim Control Plan is the first step of the larger, longer Wet Weather Management Plan. We urge the City and Ohio EPA to keep working toward separation and reduction of combined flows, along with environmental restoration after surface disturbance. We urge aggressive implementation of the WWMP in 30 years, independent examination of modeling, and full biological treatment.

I got my protection cage ready to go today. I didn't fill yet as it's a little early, but our temps are changing quickly here. Tomorrow night will already be in the lower 30's!
I used bamboo stakes interlaced around a green "chicken wire" cage today. I've got leaves shredded and ready to go though. The hydrangea is a Forever and Ever Blue Heaven, which I know blooms on old and new wood. I protect anyways. I did last fall and had some (not many but some) beautiful blooms this summer. Last year the hydrangea was just planted so I'm hoping that this next year will bring even more. I did see a lot more green "buds" all up and down the plant though (I did prune off the spent blooms in early July) so maybe those will be future blooms. I already can't wait for spring! :) I've been so busy this year with my first compost pile, testing soil, amending, that I'm anxious to see the results of all that work! lol Here's to hoping we have a lot of snow this winter! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ask and you shall receive, Ken. The NOAA forecast for your area during the 2010 winter is wetter than normal and either normal (ie, average) to slightly warmer than normal temperatures.... |
Here is a link that might be useful: 2010 Winter Outlook
Thanks a lot Luis! lolol! I know, it's gonna be bad. I can feel it already. I already am going to have to fill the cage tomorrow, only because Monday night is supposed to get down to mid 20's already! Ugh! I was going to wait until the middle of November or Thanksgiving at the latest, but I don't think mother nature is going to cooperate with me. lol Cathy |
I had to put it to bed already! This week will be getting down to the 20's and lower 30's at night. I'm too antsy to leave it to the elements. I want to keep all those buds from this season. Here's a pic of my blue heaven put to bed today |
Wow, it sure looks ready to me! Say, do you find it necessary to add more leaves due to settling in the middle of winter in NE Ohio, Cathy? |
No, I didn't have to add more leaves. I do have extra's though just in case. Cathy |
Gonna get down to mid 20's tonight and a few more nights this week! I for one am glad I covered it already. :) Cathy |
OH Lord. And to think that I had to show my Mom how to turn on the heater in her apt yesterday.... because the temperature was going to dip into... the upper 40s! Hee hee hee! Must sound like a heat wave for you! |

What does the fox do?
By portcruz
As the Ylvis song ponders over what the fox says, let's take a look at what these foxes do. We've all dated a cunning fox at some point in our lives – the guys who like to have fun but don't want to invest too much in the relationships they're in. Here are seven warning signs:
1) When he offers no support: Has your boyfriend shied away or made excuses after you've lost a loved one? Has he offered no emotional support or never said the words 'we'll get through this together?' That's a fox right there. Although some people are not sure what to say during a difficult situation like dealing with death or a fatal illness, the ones who care will still be by your side, holding your hand if not whispering words of encouragement in your ear. When my uncle died, the guy I dated didn't have anything nice to say except 'he's in a better place, babe. Now let me take your mind off it and kiss your neck.' Really? He's in a better place? Did he think his kisses OVER THE PHONE could make me forget the man who introduced me to a world of imagination, went on walks with and poured me my first drink? Never did he ask me if I wanted to talk about it or offered consolation of any sort.
2) When he's being stingy: When you're gushing with love, you want to do so much for that special person – knit a sock, buy their favourite candy and look for occassions to surprise them with things. Hell, you'd get them the moon if you could. When the only thing he's ever bought you so far is a lame ass t-shirt that wasn't even a good colour, truth is you could be dating a fox. The tee I got was black like his heart and red like the guts he had to give away the watch I got him for his birthday with money I'd saved up for months.
3) When he rarely visits: You want to see each other all the time when you're in love and I don't mean just on Skype. If you live in different cities and it is YOU who has to make the effort to visit him all the time, yup, he is a fox! I lived in a different city than the guy I dated and he only visited me once while I tried to make things work by going to him whenever I could and ended up nibbling on peanut butter and mayo sandwiches (gross!) because he rarely took me out to eat. I always returned a few pounds lighter after seeing him. Foxes lack class, they really do.
4) When he's almost always untidy: You want to be your best for people you love, especially if you don't see them everyday. Hair pulled back, beard trimmed and smelling nice. If he doesn't invest time in looking good for you and looks like Russell Brand's pubes most of the time, a fox is staring you in the face. Every time I visited, the guy I was with wore the same clothes he'd worn for a week, had cigarettes floating around in the toilet and his uncut nails were curling back into themselves out of shame. I've always liked my men clean the way he liked his women strong. Seriously ladies, you're worth much more!

The Global Intelligence Files
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. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Pumping starts on major new Saudi oil field
by Reuters on Wednesday, 03 September 2008
The world's top oil exporter Saudi Arabia has started pumping crude from
the 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) Khursaniyah field, a source at state
oil giant Saudi Aramco said on Wednesday.
The oilfield is the largest single increment to global oil production
capacity for several years. First output was delayed from the scheduled
start date in December 2007.
Khursaniyah will take Saudi Arabia's total production capacity to around
11.8 million bpd from around 11.3 million bpd, although total capacity
may be slightly below that due to fields declining elsewhere.
Story continues below ?
"The facility is operational and producing crude," the source said. He
was unable to give more details on actual output or when all of
Khursaniyah's capacity would be ready to produce.
"Its production rates are dependent on our (company's) monthly
production targets for each facility," the source said.
The field produces light crude, favoured by global refiners because it
is easier than heavy crude to process for transport fuels.
The kingdom pledged to boost output to 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd)
in July, the fastest rate for 27 years, to help meet rising demand from
its customers and tame runaway oil prices. Oil prices have since fallen
around $40 from their July peak of over $147 a barrel.
Saudi Arabia aims to boost its total oil production capacity to 12.5
million bpd by the end of next year. The kingdom has a long-held policy
of keeping 1.5 million bpd to 2.0 million bpd of spare capacity to meet
any unexpected outages in global supply.
Delays in the construction of a gas processing facility at Khursaniyah
had prevented start up of oil output there. Aramco has said it could
have started pumping earlier but wanted to avoid burning off gas produced.

*Calif: Utility violations led to deadly Oct. fires*
Associated Press 09.03.08, 10:25 AM ET
Improperly maintained utility lines were to blame for three wildfires
that swept through San Diego County last fall, killing two people and
destroying 1,347 homes, state regulators said.
The California Public Utilities Commission said the October fires were
started because San Diego Gas & Electric Co. and Cox Communications
violated state regulations regarding the maintenance of power lines.
Two of the fires started when utility wires touched in strong winds, the
commission said in a report released Tuesday. A third started when a
tree limb fell onto one of the utility's power lines, the report said.
Two of the October fires merged to scorch more than 307 square miles,
destroying 1,141 homes, killing two people and injuring more than 40
firefighters. The Witch Creek Fire was the largest of five major fires
that ravaged San Diego County last fall, charring some 2,000 residences,
causing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes and killing nine people.
The fire allegedly started by a tree limb destroyed 206 homes and burned
more than 14 square miles.
The commission accused the utility of failing to cooperate with
investigators who were sent to probe the wildfires, hindering the
release of a more timely report.
The utility said regulators lack the evidence to support their claims.
The utility also denied blocking access to its staff, saying employees
were busy making repairs and re-establishing power when regulators first
requested interviews.
The state report "is full of speculation and faulty conclusions, with
sparse evidence if any to support its claims," the utility said in a
The commission said one of the fires started when a broken Cox "lashing
wire" used to bind other cables made contact with the utility company's
line. Cox officials said their fiber optic cables do not carry
electrical current that would start a fire, and were intact prior to the
extreme Santa Ana winds.
"Cox has cooperated fully with all agencies during this process," the
cable company said in a statement. "Staff statements in the report are
inconsistent with the facts."
San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre said he plans to add Cox
Communications to the city's lawsuit to recover $40 million in
firefighting costs and damage to city property from SDG&E.
At a news conference Tuesday outside Sempra Energy, SDG&E's parent
company, Aguirre said the report proves the wildfires wouldn't have
happened if the utilities had maintained their equipment.
"We can't do anything about the loss of lives. We can't do anything
about the loss of property now except try to get compensation, but what
we can do is take action to make sure this doesn't happen again,"
Aguirre said.
The utility is also fighting lawsuits from more than 300 fire victims.

BP to acquire 25% stake in Chesapeake's Fayetteville Shale assets
2nd September 2008
By Staff Writer
Chesapeake Energy and BP America have announced the execution of a
letter of intent for a joint venture, pursuant to which BP will
acquire a 25% interest in Chesapeake's Fayetteville Shale assets in
Arkansas, US, for $1.9 billion.
The assets have current daily net production of approximately 180
million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent and include approximately
540,000 net acres of leasehold which the companies believe could support
the drilling of up to 6,700 future horizontal wells.
As a result of the transaction, BP will own approximately 135,000 net
acres of this leasehold and Chesapeake will own approximately 405,000
net acres.
BP will pay $1.1 billion in cash at closing and will pay a further $800
million during the remainder of 2008 and in 2009 by funding 100% of
Chesapeake's 75% share of drilling and completion expenditures until the
$800 million obligation has been funded.
Chesapeake plans to continue acquiring leasehold in the Fayetteville
Shale play and BP will have the right to a 25% participation in any such
additional leasehold. The transaction is subject to the execution of
mutually acceptable definitive documentation that the companies
anticipate executing within the next week and closing is anticipated to
occur later this month.
Aubrey McClendon, Chesapeake's CEO, said: "We are honored to broaden our
business relationship with BP and are excited about the mutually
beneficial nature of our transactions with them. Just a month after
closing the sale of all our Arkoma Basin Woodford Shale assets in
Oklahoma to BP for $1.7 billion, we are pleased to now announce a second
major transaction with BP for a 25% interest in our Fayetteville Shale
assets in Arkansas for $1.9 billion."

Iraq expects to gross $55bn in China oil deal
Baghdad: 1 hour and 44 minutes ago
Iraq expects to gross $55 billion in a new 20-year oil deal it recently
renegotiated with China, the government said.
"Iraqi gross revenues obtained in the contract will be $55 billion,
equal to 87 percent of total revenues of $63 billion," government
spokesman Ali Al-Dabbagh said in a statement.
The estimate of Iraq's take in the $3 billion service contract for the
Ahdab oil and gas field south of Baghdad is based on projected oil
prices of $100 a barrel.
The Iraqi government recently renegotiated the terms of the deal with
the Chinese National Petroleum Company (CNPC), which was originally
signed in 1997, marking Iraq's first major oil deal with a foreign firm
since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
The government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki formally approved
the renegotiated contract this week, and said it now hopes Chinese
officials will sign the renegotiated contract in Baghdad later this month.
Al-Dabbagh said the deal, which is also to include gas extraction and
processing, would have an investment value of $3 billion and an
operating cost of $4 per barrel.
"The contract aims to produce from the beginning of the fourth year ...
an average of 25,000 barrels per day (bpd)," Al-Dabbagh said, detailing
decisions from a recent cabinet meeting.
>From the seventh year, the contract aims to produce an average of
115,000 barrels per day, he said.
Part of the deal, as Iraq struggles to boost electricity supplies that
consistently fall far short of demand, is an agreement to pipe energy to
the Al-Zubaidiya power station in Wasit province, where the Ahdab field
is located.
The deal with CNPC, the parent company of PetroChina and Asia's biggest
oil and gas company, comes as world oil majors are angling for long-term
deals with Iraq, which has the world's third-largest proven oil reserves.
Yet negotiating with Iraq may not be easy. In renegotiating the Ahdab
deal, Iraq secured more favourable terms, changing the contract from a
production sharing agreement to a set-fee service deal.
Al-Dabbagh said the new terms would, if oil prices stay around $100 per
barrel, give Iraq at least an additional $2.5 billion over the life of
the deal compared to the previous terms. - Reuters

Kuwait refinery fire 'critical'
Kuwait City: 6 hours and 10 minutes ago
A fire that broke out at Kuwait's largest oil refinery, Mina Al-Ahmadi,
earlier on Wednesday was 'critical' and risked spreading, a spokesman
for the Kuwait National Petroleum Company said.
The fire took place in a crane positioned between one tank filled with
gasoline and another that was empty, the spokesman said.
The spokesman declined to offer any damage estimate.
The refinery has capacity to process 460,000 barrels per day of crude. -

Kuwaiti crude makes greatest drop in years, rests at USD 98.2
Power & Materials 9/3/2008 12:54:00 PM
By Ahmad Faraj KUWAIT, Sept 3 (KUNA) -- The barrel of Kuwaiti crude made
its greatest drop in a number of years on Tuesday, when dipped below the
USD 100 mark which it broke in early April.
According to Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) on Wednesday, Kuwaiti
crude registered USD 98.2 yesterday, after dropping USD 9.59 or 8.8
percent from the previous day -- the greatest single drop in many years.
The drop in price of Kuwait crude coincided with a general downward
trend in the global market, as US crude shed USD 5.57 to close at USD
109.71, while the Brent was at USD 108.34 after losing USD 1.07.
The OPEC basket barrel was also at its lowest level in months, coming to
USD 103.4 yesterday after losing USD 6.62.
Kuwaiti crude was at an all-time high in July when it reached USD 135,
and then began its downward trend just days later.
August was the worst, when the crude lost eight percent of its value and
dropped from USD 115.93 at the beginning of the month to USD 106.06 at
month-end, before falling to USD 98.2 yesterday and bringing total value
loss since August 1 to 15.2 percent.
The state budget for 2008-2009 is expected to be affected by this sharp
drop in oil prices, but there remains seven months in the fiscal year,
ending in March. (end) amf.ema KUNA 031254 Sep 08NNNN

Japan''s Inpex eyes World''s 1st offshore LNG terminal in Indonesia
Power & Materials 9/3/2008 9:58:00 AM
TOKYO, Sept 3 (KUNA) -- Japan's largest oil explorer, Inpex Holdings
Inc., is in talks with Indonesian government to construct the world's
first offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Indonesia, a
leading Japanese business daily reported Wednesday, citing Jakarta
The offshore gas field this terminal would serve is the Masela block in
the Timor Sea, near the border with Australia, the Nikkei Shimbun said.
The Tokyo-based Inpex has a 100 percent interest in the field. The
terminal would output 4-5 million tons a year and would begin operations
in 2015 or later, Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
said, according to the daily.
Initially, Inpex had hoped to lay a pipeline from this gas field to the
northern coast of Australia and export the gas to Japan and other
countries via an LNG terminal there, but the Jakarta side had objected,
saying it would not allow Inpex to drill unless it built an LNG terminal
in Indonesia.
This led the ministry to propose the construction of an offshore LNG
terminal. If a final agreement is reached, development would be approved
as early as November, the report said.
The total cost of building the proposed offshore terminal is USD 14
billion dollars, about 50 percent more than constructing a facility on
land in Australia, it said.
Japan is he world's bigget LNG importer, while Indonesia is Japan's
number one LNG supplier, accounting for about 20 percent of total
consumption. (end) mk.ema KUNA 030958 Sep 08NNNN

Petrobras Argentine units approve merger plan
Tue Sep 2, 2008 8:18pm EDT
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Directors at the Argentine units of Brazilian
state energy firm Petrobras (PETR4.SA: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock
Buzz) (PBR.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Tuesday they
had agreed to merge.
In a statement to the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, they said Petrobras
Energia (PER.BA: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) would absorb
Petrobras Energia Participaciones (PCH.BA: Quote, Profile, Research,
Stock Buzz) in a reorganization aimed at cutting costs and simplifying
their structures.
Petrobras Energia Participaciones has a 75.8 percent stake in Petrobras
Energia -- one of Argentina's top oil and natural gas producers.
It has oil and gas exploration and production ventures elsewhere in
South America as well as Argentine refineries, petrochemicals and
electric power holdings and a chain of gasoline stations.
The statement said Petrobras Energia would apply for its shares to be
listed on the New York stock exchange under the same conditions that
shares in Petrobras Energia Participaciones are currently listed.
The shake-up, which is seen taking effect on January 1, 2009, must still
be approved by shareholders.

Marathon's Angola sale stalls on $2 bln price tag
Wed 3 Sep 2008, 9:28 GMT
[-] Text [+]
By Michael Flaherty and Tom Miles
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Marathon Oil's auction of a stake in an Angolan
oilfield has stalled as bidders balked at the price tag of more than $2
billion, sources involved with the process said on Wednesday.
The 20 percent stake in Angola's offshore Block 32 had attracted bids
from India's ONGC, a consortium of Chinese majors Sinopec Group and
CNOOC Ltd, and Brazil's Petrobras
Reuters reported on Aug 13 that a deal was expected within days, but the
auction has since lost momentum, sources said, as the Houston-based
company and bidders have disagreed on the price of the stake. The
sources did not want to be identified because the auction process is
As in any auction, a buyer and seller could come to an agreement at any
minute. But one source who is involved said the auction was in danger of
becoming a "failed process" thanks to the $2 billion plus Marathon
wants. The source added, however, that the sale had not yet been scrapped.
Another source also said the sale was still in process, but there was a
20 percent valuation gap between the company and the bidders.
Failure to close the deal would cast a shadow over Marathon's plans to
break itself up, another source said. The company, which analysts say
has long been under-valued compared to the sum of its assets, is
considering splitting itself up early next year.
It also has a plan to raise cash by selling assets worth $2 billion-$4
billion in the next year, but that target could be in jeopardy if it
cannot clinch a sale of the Angolan stake. It has already sold Norwegian
North Sea assets to Britain's Centrica Plc for a total of $416 million.
Oil prices have slumped during the Angolan process, which may have
played havoc with attempts to value the asset. Benchmark U.S. light
crude oil has tumbled from an all-time high of almost $150 a barrel in
July to around $108 on Wednesday.
Harrison Lovegrove, a consultancy which Marathon hired to run the Angola
sale process, declined to comment on the situation.
Marathon spokesman Paul Weeditz also declined to discuss it.
"We simply don't comment on market rumours or speculation," he said.
Marathon Oil holds 30 percent of Block 32 and was looking to cut its
stake to 10 percent, the same as it holds in Angola's Block 31, which
the government approved for development in July.
Permission to develop Block 32, which Marathon expects in late 2009 or
early 2010, would pave the way for oil companies to book potentially
huge reserves there.
In the line-up of bidders, Petrobras is a deepwater specialist, while
Sinopec and ONGC went head-to-head last month in the race for Russian
oil company Imperial Energy
The field was thought to be of particular interest to China's CNOOC,
which is looking for assets which can help it gain experience of
deep-water drilling. But CNOOC has played down expectations that it
might buy the asset.
At a news conference last Wednesday, the firm's chief executive Fu
Chengyu declined to comment on the Angolan deal but noted that
acquisitions were costlier when oil prices were high.
"Therefore, oil companies are looking at various assets all the time,
but it doesn't mean they can acquire them. So when you hear this kind of
market rumour, if the company doesn't comment, don't take it too
seriously," he said.
At the end of 2007, there had been 12 announced discoveries on Block 32,
with total resources of about 1.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent,
according to Exxon Mobil Corp, which has 15 percent of the block. The
remaining interests are held by operator Total (30 percent), Sonangol
(20 percent) and Petrogal (5 percent).
Angola now produces almost 2 million barrels of oil per day, rivalling
Nigeria as Africa's top oil producer. It is the biggest supplier of oil
to China and the sixth biggest to the United States. Oil accounts for
about 90 percent of Angola's exports.
Its mostly offshore reserves total about 11.4 billion proven barrels,
about the same as Algeria, according to estimates by Edinburgh-based
energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie.

Output at Pemex's top field falls more than expected
By ANDRES R. MARTINEZ Bloomberg News
Sept. 2, 2008, 10:28PM
Oil production at Pemex's largest field is falling more than twice as
fast as the Mexican government had forecast.
Output at the offshore Cantarell field fell 29 percent in the first six
months of the year compared with a year earlier, according to President
Felipe Calderon's annual report on the state of Mexico's government. The
government had forecast a decline of 13 percent, according to the report.
"The decline in production of heavy crude is due to a natural decline
that was greater than expected," according to the report.
Cantarell accounts for 35 percent of the 2.782 million barrels of oil
that Pemex, the state-controlled energy company, extracted in July.
Cantarell produced 973,668 barrels a day in July.
Pemex CEO Jesus Reyes Heroles has said that Cantarell, the world's
third-largest oil field, may drop to 500,000 barrels a day by the end of

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke senior linebacker Michael Tauiliili has been named Second Team All-America by the Walter Camp Foundation, the organization announced on Thursday evening.
"Given the history behind the Walter Camp Foundation, I know this is a prestigious honor," said Tauiliili. "I know it dates back a long time and it is an honor and privilege to be named an All-America. I commed my coaches, teammates and everybody surrounding Duke football in helping me make the transition physically, mentally and emotionally from last season into the player I was this year."
auiliili, a 5-11, 235-pound native of Houston, Texas, becomes the first Duke linebacker to receive All-America honors since Mike Junkin was a second team selection in 1986. Other Blue Devil linebackers to garner All-America accolades include Bob Matheson (1st team in 1966), Dick Biddle (3rd team in 1970) and Keith Stoneback (3rd team in 1974). Tauiliili is Duke's first All-America choice overall since punter Brian Morton was honored with a second team citation following the 2000 campaign.
In 2008, Tauiliili led Duke in tackles (140), interceptions (4), pass breakups (5), quarterback pressures (5) and caused fumbles (3). His 140 stops led the ACC and matched the eighth-highest single-season total in school history. He added 13.0 tackles for loss and one fumble recovery and was a primary reason that Duke made significant improvement in scoring defense (-9.8), total defense (-67.4), rushing defense (-28.7) and passing defense (-38.7) while facing the second-most difficult schedule in the nation — a ledger that included 10 bowl eligible teams and the top-ranked FCS squad in James Madison.
A First Team All-ACC selection this season, Tauiliili finished third in the league's Defensive Player of the Year voting after captaining a Duke defense that held three opponents to less than 10 points for the first time since 1976. He is the only linebacker in the ACC to rank among the league's top 10 players in four defensive statistical categories.
Tauiliili played 46 career games at Duke and finished with 434 tackles, 46.0 tackles for loss, 6.0 quarterback sacks, seven interceptions and eight pass breakups. On Duke's career charts, he ranks fourth in tackles and third in tackles for loss.[/private]

Kim Kardashian Keeps On Bumpin'
Despite reportedly experiencing severe "pain" during this pregnancy, Kim Kardashian "kontinues" to bump along in the season's hottest maternity wear.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was spotted stepping out of her New York City hotel in a form-fitting LBD and white heels while en route to the E! Upfronts Monday morning.
The 32-year-old was joined mom Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian, who both -- along with Kim -- appeared on a special family interview for the network Sunday night to break down rumors surrounding their famous clan.In the tell-all with host Ryan Seacrest, mom-to-be revealed she had been experiencing major pain all over her body, making her super paranoid of what the causes could be.
"I've had a lot of pain, everywhere. I'm in pain, physically," she said. "I get really paranoid [and] I start Googling things, the things that come up are really scary. It just freaks me out all the time."
"I was waiting for this amazing experience where I can just do whatever I want, eat what ever I want, feel great, and it hasn't been that way."Kim is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West. She is due in July.

The lira weakened and bonds fell for a second day as Spanish sovereign bonds declined, outweighing Turkey's positive unemployment and consumer confidence data.
The currency slipped 0.1 percent to 1.7993 per dollar at 5:16 p.m., depreciating for a second day, paring its year-to- date gain to 5 percent. The yield on two-year benchmark debt rose for a second day, up two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 9.42 percent.
Turkey's unemployment rate retreated to 10.2 percent in January, compared with 11.9 percent a year ago, according to the statistics office in Ankara. Consumer confidence in the country rose for a fifth month in March, the longest streak of gains since June 2010. Ten-year Spanish bond yields climbed to a four- month high ahead of a debt auction tomorrow, while commodities fell and emerging-market stocks slipped on concern the European debt crisis may worsen.
"We can't isolate ourselves from problems in Europe and it is affecting us like everyone else," Tunc Obuter, head of trading at Garanti Investment in Istanbul, said in e-mailed comments.
The lira performed better than the ruble, zloty, forint and koruna today after the central bank refrained from lending at the lowest funding rate of 5.75 percent for a fourth day in its one-week repo auctions.
"We are decoupled positively because of our stronger fundamentals," said Obuter.
Turkey's central bank varies the funding rate on a daily basis, maintaining borrowing cost within a 5.75 percent to 11.5 percent interest-rate corridor introduced last year. It has refrained from lending at the lowest rate since April 11, a day after the lira weakened to its three-week low at 1.8177.
The current-account deficit in Turkey is about 10 percent of gross domestic product, the most among 60 major economies tracked by the International Monetary Fund. The country's inflation rate is 10.4 percent, which is more than twice the bank's target for this year.

Plant Being Built in Lee County

Additional Money for Fertilizer Plant
The Iowa Economic Development Authority has agreed to increase its financial incentive package for Iowa Fertilizer Company.
The subsidiary of Orascom Construction Industries is building a more than $1.5-billion fertilizer plant along Highway 61, just south of Wever.
The latest incentive is a $25-million increase in tax credits. It's part of a previous agreement that allowed the company to seek $25-million per year for two years.
The latest contribution is on top of the millions of dollars in tax credits already pledged by the state to insure the plant is built in Iowa.
Supporters say the jobs are desperately needed in a part of the state where unemployment remains high while opponents question whether the state should be giving away so much.
Construction is already underway at the site.

Things That Make Me Feel Ancient: Patricia Arquette is Old Enough to Play Jeff Buckley's Mom
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 3, 2012 | Comments (1)There's new movement over on Jake Scott's upcoming Jeff Buckley biopic, which may or may not have been titled Mystery White Boy. We've already reported that Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark's Reeve Carney is set to star as the indie rock legend, and now there's word that Patricia Arquette has been signed to play Buckley's mother, Mary Guibert. The role is said to be a small one, but it sounds important nonetheless. Arquette will be seen both in flashbacks to when Buckley was a child and in later years when he was an adult. And apparently she plays an important role in convincing Buckley to appear during a 1991 tribute concert to his father, "Greetings From Tim Buckley," which was considered to be Jeff's first public performance and kind of the launching point for what became a very notable career.

Thoughts from our audience members:
"Great staging, music and movement! We especially loved the non-scary costuming and the opportunity for children to do a little bit of their own pretending by opening the costume boxes after the performance. A terrific introduction to live theater!"
- Corinne Fisher, Head of Children's Services, Reading Public Library
"Thank you, for all you do! I really appreciate the opportunity to introduce my kids to live theater in an age-appropriate way. And I love that they can experience storytelling without technology, commercials, or potty humor. (Sorry, SpongeBob!)"
- A. Mici
"The girls have enjoyed both of your performances very much and we greatly appreciate your efforts to bring family friendly dramatic performance to North Andover. Yeah! Finally something in our backyard! All 3 of my girls told me tonight that the play was their favorite thing they did all weekend - and keep in mind that we got and decorated an Xmas tree, made chocolate chip cookies, and played at the park - and you still beat the competition hands down."

You've Got to Watch SNL's Fake New Balance Commerical
SNL: Martha Stewart Joins Match.com
The past week has seen no shortage of jokes concerning Martha Stewart joining Match.com, but there was no way SNL wasn't going to get in on this action. After all, what kind of comedy variety show would it be if it didn't let one of the cast members break out a Martha Stewart impression?
New 'Man of Steel' Banner Lets Superman Stand Tall
Everything we've heard about 'Man of Steel' suggests that it will be one of the films to beat this summer, an epic superhero adventure unlike anything else coming out this year. So why isn't the marketing selling that movie? A new banner for the highly anticipated film has arrived and it's just more of the same.
New 'Star Trek Into Darkness' TV Spot: "Earth Will Fall"
Perhaps the title was a pretty clear indication of what to expect, but 'Star Trek Into Darkness' looks a little bleak, huh? For a series that's been built on the concept of humanity standing together and bettering itself, it sure is odd to see the phrase "Earth will fall" in a newly released TV spot.
'White House Down' Poster: Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx Bring Down the House
With 'Olympus Has Fallen' about to cross the $100 million mark at the box office, you'd think we'd be done with White House siege movies for a little while...but then the trailer for 'White House Down' had to rear its head and get us excited all over again. Now, a new poster has arrived it all-but-promises that this will be the buddy cop action movie of the year.
'Jurassic Park 4′ Will Return to the Original Jurassic Park?!
Everything we knew about the upcoming 'Jurassic Park 4' could fit in a thimble, but now director Colin Trevorrow has dropped a quietly huge piece of information about the film: it'll take place on Isla Nublar, the setting of the original 1993 'Jurassic Park.'
'Transformers 4′ Finds a Villain in Kelsey Grammer
Although 'Transformers 4' will undoubtedly have plenty of giant robots turning into cars and fighting each other, there will be no shortage of human interaction (i.e. screaming and yelling) between the scenes of carnage. At least we know that some of that screaming and yelling will be dignified and classy thanks to the casting of Kelsey Grammer as the film's human villain.
Final 'Fast and Furious 6′ Trailer: "Make Sure They're Fast"
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Pain and Gain' Leads a Slow Weekend
Some will call this a slow weekend, but it may be better to think of it as the calm before the storm. Next week, the summer movie season begins and people are saving their pennies for 'Iron Man 3,' so it's not really surprising that this was an uneventful couple of days at the multiplex. At least the folks behind 'Pain and Gain' can be glad that their film led an otherwise quiet weekend.
'Transformers 4′ and 'Teenange Mutant Ninja Turtles' Updates From Michael Bay
Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain' arrived in theaters this weekend, so naturally, everyone is asking him about 'Transformers 4' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' Although both films don't arrive until 2014, Bay offered additional information about them that will possibly ease the jittery nerves of fanboys all over the world.

The Global Intelligence Files
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. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
BRAZIL/ECON - Brazil Industry Unexpectedly Shrinks Amid Strong Real
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT
Email-ID | 2028931 |
Date | unspecified |
From | email@example.com |
To | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Brazila**s industrial output unexpectedly fell in
September as the currency in Latin Americaa**s biggest economy
strengthened to near a two-year high.
Industrial production contracted 0.2 percent in September, the fifth
monthly decline since April, the national statistics agency said in Rio de
Janeiro. Analysts expected output to expand 0.1 percent, according to the
median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 26 analysts. Output rose 6.3
percent from a year ago, the slowest annual pace this year and below
analystsa** median forecast for a 7.1 percent increase.
Brazilian manufacturers are being hurt by a rally in the nationa**s
currency, which touched a two-year high of 1.6530 per U.S. dollar on Oct.
13, even as credit growth and record low unemployment fuel domestic
demand. The reala**s 37 percent rally since the start of 2009 is the third
best performance among major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, after the
Australian dollar and South African rand.
The real strengthened 0.3 percent to 1.6844 per U.S. dollar at 7:15 a.m.
New York time. In the overnight interest-rate futures market, the yield on
the contract due in January 2012 rose one basis points, or 0.01 percentage
point, to 11.34 percent.
In August, retail sales expanded 2 percent from the previous month, their
fastest growth since March. Unemployment fell to a record low 6.2 percent
in September, as outstanding credit increased 19.7 percent from the same
month a year ago to a record of 1.61 trillion reais ($950 billion).
Brazila**s 12-month current account gap widened to a record high of $47.3
billion in September as domestic demand and the reala**s rally boosted
spending on imports.
The worlda**s eighth-largest economy will expand 7.3 percent this year,
the fastest pace in more than two decades, according to a Sept. 30 central
bank forecast.
Policy makers held the benchmark Selic rate at 10.75 percent last month,
after raising borrowing costs 2 percentage points from a record low 8.75
percent earlier in the year
Analysts expect the central bank to raise the benchmark interest rate to
11.25 percent in April, and to 11.75 percent in June, according to the
median forecast in an Oct. 29 central bank survey of about 100 economists.
Consumer inflation as measured by the IPCA-15 index accelerated to 5.03
percent in the year through mid-October. The central bank targets
inflation of 4.5 percent, plus or minus two percentage points.

I have about 25 Heuschera and about 20 are growing. The other 5 show no signs of life. Are some later starters than others or are they dead? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If they are completely dried out or rotted, they may be goners. But take a good look at them. I thought I lost Midnight Bayou when I saw the entire top part of the plant had browned out and died, but near the crown there were little signs of life, little purple buds poking out. I'm going to grow it in a pot for a while and see how it does. I think the winter wet, and too much snow did it in, but didn't kill it completely. And it was looking so good last summer. Bummed me out. At least there is still some hope. Karen |

coxy I have had some that seem to start later than others. Give them time. I am in Florida and still leafing out. This is my second year with heucheras and I am still learning. I usually give plants to the 4Th of July to declare dead. Paula Berry Smoothie a week ago. Just waking up. |
I looked pretty hard and long and don't see a thing. The weird thing is that they are all in a row and I know they are all different. Most upset about Citronnelle |

Rated 3 out of 5 by DMH3449 So So
The hotel was nice and very convenient to the Convention Center, which is where we spent most of our time throughout the weekend.
Unfortunately the rooms were not very clean. Our comforter on the bed had stains on it and the floor and chair had cigarette burns in them. With a little updating and more of a focus on cleanliness, this would be a great hotel if you need to be at the convention center.

Gwen at the front desk was what made my stay. I was not happy with my stay accept for the level of outstanding service Gwen gave me. I had a problem with my parking ticket and she tried to make calls to help me with this and when we got no where she walked me to the parking lot in the heat and stayed with me for about 15 minutes until it was resolved. She is amazing and I am very thankful to her.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JonSq Customer service at its finest!
I've stayed at the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel 20+ times over the last four years and I've seen one consistent trend through all my stays...great customer service. The staff at the Sheraton AC, especially the Front Desk/General Managers, are excellent at accommodating and being proactive with guests needs. This is evident in their friendliness, commitment to quality, and responsiveness to customers' comments/questions. For example, my girlfriend threw a surprise birthday party for me at the hotel and had all the staff, from the bellman to the Front Desk Manager, in on it to help. Needless to say the party went off without a hitch!
Of course, the great customer service is a compliment to the clean, well furnished rooms, affordable rates for Atlantic City, and a really nice club lounge. If you are staying in Atlantic City this should be your first place to look for a room!

Room service was fast and delicious, did not get the room cleaned (Make a Green Choice!) but room was immaculate upon check-in. I would definately reccomend this hotel to others!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bobjo The walk around
The only thing I don't like about this hotel is you have to walk all the way around the hotel to get to the street. We had a handicapped parent with us. This made it difficult. They need to make an entrance in the rear of the building so you don't have to walk around the entire building. Other than that the place is great. Hobeeb the bellman was the best. Thanks for your help. See you soon.

The staff at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The room was a nice size and had all the amenities I needed for my stay. Prior to my arrival housekeeping had removed all feather and down from the room as requested. I note this because that doesn't always happen in hotels I frequent even when I ask ahead of time. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to business travelers.

Being a SPG has its perks, but we miss the massage chair on the top floor. Rooms are excellent (but we could use more coffee packets to stay awake during the conference). Comforters are getting lumpy and heavy but love the beds and pillows. Lighting is good and mirrors are good. We come back every year. One more suggestion: could you vary the breakfast fare on the 16th floor? Thank you.

Quality of the food offered at breakfast brunch was good. The server was attentive UNTIL I sat down with my food to eat. Once I sat at my table with food, no refills of beverages were offered (no second cup of coffee or tea). I looked around for drink refills to serve myself but there were no options. The server never returned to my table.

This hotel is very comfortable, and the staff is very very helpful. When sttaying her, I was recovering from a fractured bone in my foot and was therefore in a boot and on crutuches. The staff was very helpful throughout my stay, and I didn't have any problems.
My only issue is that there isn't any in-room internet service here. (Or, if there is, it's not easy to find/connect to).

I had few issues with this place. I stayed there for one night recently. We had issues with the keys not working properly. We were given 2 keys and only one key was working. The water in the room is complimentary for SPG members but still got charged for it. The comforter in the room was dirty and we asked for a replacement which took almost an hour to replace.

I came to the hotel at 4:00am, after a long drive from NYC, and expected to have a normal sleep. However, my expectations were shattered because my husband's bed was broken, he barely slept, he woke up the next morning all grouchy, barely sleeping, and he still has back pains, until today.

Rated 3 out of 5 by EH08 No hot water. Great Location
The location of the hotel was great.
The showers were not hot even with it all the way on hot. The room was not cleaned after the first night (we stayed 2 nights) even though when leaving the room the cleaning staff asked if our room has been cleaned yet. Which we said no and returned to a room at 10pm that night that had still not been clean. Everything else was good.

We had two connecting rooms, both rooms had bad mildew odor from the shower curtains . The sinks and bathtubs also had bad odors. We had to go to mini market to buy spray and wipes. Called the front desk but don't think anybody came to resolve the problem.
As for the bottle water in the rooms, we did not use the bottle, but still charge us after we checkout of hotel .

Rated 3 out of 5 by JenD Average at best
Considering we were in town for a concert, my bf and I were just looking for a place to sleep and this hotel offered us a very basic stay for a cheap price, so I guess it served its purpose. However, I was not impressed by the upkeep of the rooms. Housekeeping should pay considerable attention to the soiled carpets and cleanliness, or lack thereof, of the bathrooms.

The hotel needs to be updated/renovated. The bathroom is very small, not enough light and no ventilation.
Also check to see if any events are going on at the convention center during your stay as the hotel becomes very crowded and noisy. I think the hotel should keep guests that are there for an event on all the same floors to cut down on the noise.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GloGirl This hotel is close to shopping
Beds seemed old and worn, hotel is always booked whenever I stay there . Hard to gt a room you would prefer , you usually get whatever hey have and that is a room with two double beds?
There are a great deal of better rates in surrounding Casino's with some nice offers, I would probably consider the next time instead of using so many points for their rate match

They have Ethernet, but that didn't help me since I was using a tablet. Everything else was okay, but I think the rooms needs to have have wi-fi, especially for business travelers.

Upon check-in we noticed there was not enough towels and wash cloths. We were told by housekeeping that they ran out, but they would bring more. At 9:30pm we called to check...from our call it took over 1 hour to get them. The pool was very disapointing for the size of the hotel. The staff rushed us during check-in. The pillows were the best part of the room!

this was our 3rd year at the pulse convention, and things were different. no refrigerator in the room, then I was told I had to pay for one. the computers in the lounge area also had to be paid for. the lights flickered and the shower was too powerful. there was an emergency evacuation, but no one let us know until after the incident had been taken care of.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MareP Impecably Clean Hotel
This is the second time we stayed at the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Hotel and we will definitely stay there in the future. It was impeccably clean and the staff were both friendly and helpful. Whenever we asked for anything our request was granted immediately. Another nicety is the staff always addressed us by our names, making us feel very welcome.

WMP12 FLAC Seek bug.
Hi, I have several FLAC files in my Media Library, and so far I have no problems playing them. The only thing that bugs me is that I can't seek! If I try to seek, it starts the song from the beginning.
Here's a shot: Also when I look up the FLAC files in the Artist section (only my Daft Punk music is in FLAC) it says "0 seconds"... Shot: I suppose if I mess around with the drivers (Shark007 codec) I can get it, but I''m not sure where to touch. My system specs are all included in my profile if you need them. Could you please help? |

I converted the files to MP3... sorry... That's what I thought of in the 1st place and since no one replied I just went with this classic solution.

Hi all
just to add 2 points here 1) Winamp plays FLAC without any probs whatsoever as do quite a lot of other of these types of apps - and often have better ways of organising multi-media libraries too. 2) FLAC is a nice LOSSLESS compressed system. This means you keep 100% of the original audio with no loss of quality. If you compress it to mp3 which is a "Lossy" format - even at 256 kb you will get degradation in sound quality and a lot of hideous "artifacts". This might not matter too much if you are listening on an Ipod in a train / on a bus etc with those hideous white "bud" type of earphones but play this stuff through a decent high quality Audio amp (not your average computer sound system) or listen to the flac output directly with a pair of expensive Bose headphones and you'll see at once what I mean. The MP3 sound will (particularly at 64 kb compression which is what a lot of people use) be excruciantingly HIDEOUS whether you are listening to heavy metal or a classical string quartet. Even 128 kb compression is not really tolerable for high end serious listening. (OK on an IPOD however). Cheers jimbo |

Thanks! Glad you like it, its all Adobe Photoshop CS4. About the FLAC... an OK format, but when it comes to exporting the music to a portable music player it starts to suck... Very few MP3 Players and SmartPhones support FLAC and very few converters convert FLAC 2 MP3 the way YOU want to. The solution for portable devices is MP3 at highest bitrate, even though it's not that good... OK, now I'll catch ya later guys, going out!
