The Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Playbook is the 22nd in Hart Energy's exclusive series of comprehensive reports delving into North America's most compelling unconventional resource plays. Our lineup of topics addresses the plays everyone is talking about and delivers answers to essential questions on reservoirs, active operators, economics, key technologies and infrastructure issues.
Hydraulic Fracturing: The 2014 Techbook
The 2014 Hydraulic Fracturing Techbook is the sixth in a series of techbooks in which Hart Energy will provide comprehensive coverage of effective and emerging technologies in the oil and gas industry. Each Techbook includes a market overview, a sample of key technology providers, case studies of field applications and exclusive analysis of industry trends relative to specific technologies.
Permian Basin Wolfcamp 2014 Playbook
Permian Basin resource plays are set to see production growth that continues the renaissance transforming the area. Hart Energy forecasts 1.2 MMboe/d of Permian production growth by 2025, with oil and NGLs contributing ~1 million bbl/d. That nearly doubles today's 1.5 MMbbl/d. Production will ramp up from unconventional drilling with solid margins because most wells breakeven oil price is below $70/bbl. Economics like these economics help explain the upward trend in Permian activity and capital budgets.
Rockies Tight Sands and Shales Playbook
The Rockies Tight Sands and Shales Playbook features the Niobrara in the DJ and North Park basins and the Niobrara, Frontier, Turner, Shannon, Sussex and Parkman in the Powder River Basin. Also discussed is the Castle Peak and Uteland Butte shales in the Uinta Basin and the Gallup/Mancos reservoirs in the San Juan Basin. Operators are targeting each of these with horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing technolugces. The playbook includes chapters on geology and reservoir characteristics, popular technolugces and their best uses, midstream infrastructure development and production forecasts. Key operators working these plays are profiled as well. Additionally, the playbook has a full-color wall map depicting the latest horizontal drilling activity across the region.
Eagle Ford Techbook
The Eagle Ford Techbook is the third in a series of techbooks in which Hart Energy provides comprehensive coverage of effective and emerging technologies in the oil and gas industry. Each techbook includes a market overview, a roster of the key technology providers, case studies of field applications, and exclusive analysis of industry trends relative to specific technologies. This techbook includes a full color wall map.
2014 Unconventional Yearbook
The 2014 Unconventional Yearbook presents the most important facts and figures on the Top 20 US resource plays. This fourth edition of an annual series of data books provides an overview of current activity with snapshots of the regional plays, profiles of key players, a review of technology, a look at midstream activity, economic analysis and data, and a bibliography. Like the playbooks, the Unconventional Yearbook includes a full-color shale wall map.
Appalachian Playbook
The Appalachian Basin's Marcellus shale is a world-class reservoir and it has now been joined by the prolific Utica shale. Production of liquids from the basin is forecast to grow dramatically as drillers concentrate on rich-gas portions of the Marcellus and Utica. At the same time, the region's tremendous dry-gas assets are its backbone. Both plays offer huge regional extents, reasonable drilling depths, proximity to markets and lustrous well results. The playbook includes a 24" x 36" full-color Marcellus-Utica Shale wall map.
Midcontinent Playbook
The red-hot Mississippi Lime play in north-central Oklahoma and south-central Kansas is a next-generation resource play: a conventional reservoir made far more economic by applying unconventional technology. Activity is surging, with hundreds of drilling permits filed and strong well results increasing the buzz. Meanwhile, the Anadarko Basin's Woodford play is extending from the original Cana Woodford area into new regions particularly rich in liquids. This playbook includes a 24"x36" wall map.
Bakken/Exshaw Playbook
The Williston Basin's prolific Bakken shale has delivered steadily improving well recoveries as operators hone drilling and completion techniques. Drilling has expanded into secondary reservoirs, notably multiple benches in the Three Forks formation and, to the west, the correlative Exshaw shale, popularly known as the Alberta Basin Bakken. This playbook includes a 24" x 36" map highlighting fields, drilling activity, and significant wells.
Permian Basin 2013 Playbook
The Permian Basin Playbook focuses on the Wolfcamp, Bone Spring and Cline formations. These rich reservoirs are being tapped with unconventional-resource technology. Chapters discuss the geology of the Midland and Delaware basins and include profiles of the key players. The latest technologies are reviewed, including case studies. The playbook also provides overviews of the dynamic changes happening in the region's infrastructure and the economics of the new resource plays. A bibliography of relevant articles for further research is included.
Unconventional Yearbook 2013
In an extension of Hart Energy's unconventional resources playbook series, known for its in-depth coverage of the most compelling shale plays in North America, the 2013 Unconventional Yearbook presents the most important facts and figures on the Top 20 global resource plays. This third in an annual series of yearbooks provides an overview of current activity with snapshots of the regional plays, profiles of key players, a review of technology, a look at midstream activity, and economic analysis and data.
Canada Playbook
The playbook focuses on the Duvernay, Alberta Bakken/Exshaw, Montney and Cardium-- leading resource plays that are revolutionizing Western Canada's oil business. Companies employing horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing technology are delivering fresh volumes of rich natural gas and light oils to market. The most prolific plays are the Montney, a rich-gas powerhouse, and the Cardium, a prodigious light-oil producer. Shale plays that show considerable promise, but that are still in early days of development, are the Duvernay and Alberta Bakken/Exshaw.
South Texas Playbook 2012
The South Texas Shale Playbook is the fifteenth in Hart Energy's exclusive series of comprehensive reports delving into North America's most compelling unconventional resource plays. Our lineup of topics addresses the plays everyone is talking about and delivers answers to essential questions on reservoirs, active operators, economics, key technologies, and infrastructure issues. Some playbooks also feature a full-color map highlighting fields, drilling activity, and significant wells.
Panhandle Plays Playbook 2012
The Panhandle Playbook is the go-to resource for the red-hot unconventional plays in the Texas Panhandle. Numerous operators are targeting the Granite Wash, Cleveland, Tonkawa and Marmaton plays with horizontal wells and multi-stage frac jobs, and results are strong. The region offers a wealth of objectives, a friendly regulatory regime, established infrastructure and great access to services and supplies.
Utica Shale Playbook 2012
The Utica Shale is the newest giant in the shale inventory of the US and Canada. From grassroots leasing to commencement of infrastructure build in 18 months, this new, liquids-rich shale play is already being compared with the Eagle Ford - possibly, as superior to it. This playbook focuses on the U.S. portion of the Utica shale, and particularly on activity in the rich gas window in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.
North American Unconventional Yearbook 2012
Back by popular demand, it is sure to be kept at hand for ready reference as it showcases the plays and players in the hottest unconventional resources markets and details production levels, rig counts, permits, significant wells, significant deals and players in/out in 2011.
Eagle Ford Shale Playbook 2011
The Eagle Ford shale trends across a great swath of Texas, stretching from Giddings Field in Brazos and Grimes counties down into the Maverick Basin in Maverick County. The Cretaceous Eagle Ford has long been known as a tremendous source rock, and now it's coming into its own as a prolific shale reservoir. Across its trend, the Eagle Ford's hydrocarbon content shifts from dry gas to oil. These variations, as well as changes in depth and local geology, make portions of the Eagle Ford trend particularly attractive to explorers.
Marcellus Shale Playbook 2011
The Appalachian Basin's Marcellus shale holds the promise to become a top producing shale reservoir. It covers a vast area-many times larger than any other shale play--and exhibits excellent reservoir qualities. Recent strong well results show that the Marcellus is living up to its promise, and its location in the core of North America's premium natural-gas markets gives it leverage over more distant supplies. Find out the latest in this inclusive compilation. Includes two-page map in the publication.
Niobrara Shale Playbook
The Niobrara Shale Playbook is the tenth in Hart Energy's exclusive series of comprehensive reports delving into north America's most compelling unconventional resource plays. Our lineup of topics addresses the plays everyone is talking about and delivers answers to essential questions on reservoirs, active operators, economics, key technologies, and infrastructure issues. Each playbook features a full-color map highlighting fields, drilling activity, and significant wells.
Permian Shale Playbook
The Permian Basin of West Texas and southeast New Mexico is one of the premier U.S. producing provinces. Although its conventional reservoirs are heavily developed, today's unconventional prospects offer attractive targets to long-time players and new entrants alike. Such unconventional plays as the Wolfberry, Bone Spring, Barnett and Woodford are highlighted. Top operators, economics, key drilling and completion strategies and infrastructure issues are also addressed.
Bakken/Three Forks Shale Playbook
The Bakken/Three Forks play is rapidly expanding, both laterally and vertically. From exciting discoveries in the Alberta Bakken play in western Montana to strong wells in the underlying Three Forks formation in the heart of the North Dakota action, the Bakken petroleum system is delivering on its sterling potential.
Horn River Playbook
Far northeastern British Columbia's Horn River basin is home to tremendous, very thick Middle Devonian shales. These shales--Muskwa, Otter Park, Klua and Evie-are in the earliest stages of development in a region that has no conventional oil and gas production. Yet, the basin is on the brink of becoming a major unconventional field that will have a long-term impact on continental natural-gas supply.
Granite Wash Playbook
Operators are applying both horizontal and vertical wells to produce reserves from this longtime target that occupies a swath 160 miles long and 30 miles wide in the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma. The Granite Wash is an extraordinary reservoir, prone to extreme variations in thickness, grain size, pore-size distribution, number of prospective intervals and gas/oil ratio. Economic rates are achieved by multistage, slickwater fracture treatments and close attention to costs.
Chapters: Play overviews -- Key Players: Company profiles section -- Key Technologies, horizontal and vertical drilling, emphasis on cost-control -- Midstream Activities and Joint Ventures -- Economics -- Reference Section. -
Barnett Shale Playbook
North Texas' Barnett shale is the granddaddy of modern shale plays. During the past decade, activity has exploded to encompass all or parts of 20 counties. Today, more than 12,000 Barnett shale wells produce 5 billion cubic feet of gas per day, and nearly three-fourths of these wells are horizontal. Success has been so robust that Barnett gas is now approaching 10% of U.S. domestic supply.
Despite the intensive drilling programs of the past several years, great volumes of gas still remain to be extracted from the Barnett reservoir. Efforts in this leading shale play have shifted to controlling costs and improving recovery of in-place gas. -
Arkoma Basin Shales Playbook
A treasure trove of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas lies within western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma's Fayetteville, Woodford and Caney shales. Operators are busy honing sophisticated horizontal drilling and completion technologies to extract this wealth from the Arkoma Basin's rich, black shales.
Haynesville Shale Playbook
East Texas and North Louisiana have served up another tantalizing reservoir in the superb Haynesville shale. The Jurassic Haynesville is a wonder, displaying every desirable characteristic of a prime shale reservoir. Well results are excellent, economics are compelling and excitement continues to grow!
The Haynesville Shale has been estimated to be the largest natural gas field in the 48 states with an estimated 250 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas. This play has the attention of the entire industry, the investment community, E&P companies, service companies, and pipeline companies. The demand for additional information on the Haynesville is clearly evident on the search engines of our websites. -
Bakken Playbook
Hart Energy's exclusive Playbooks delve into North America's most compelling unconventional resource plays. The series begins in December 2008 with the Bakken Playbook. Horizontal drilling in North Dakota's enormous Bakken resource play is yielding astonishing volumes of oil. The Bakken, long recognized as a world-class source rock, is coming into its own as a prolific producing reservoir.

My husband and I are completely renovating our kitchen in the spring. Our perimeter cabinetry will be white with a dark wood island, and our countertops will be the same granite for both the perimeter and island. We fell in love with a granite called Bianco Antico and I am obsessed with finding real-life photos of it. Can anyone share any photos of Bianco Antico?
Here are some photos of the lot with slabs we have reserved, along with another lot from the same supplier. I like how the slabs we chose do not have a lot of black mica, and has an overall warm amber tone to it. The pictures do not do this stone justice!
Follow-Up Postings:
I love your Bianco Antico. Could you tell me where in Canada you are? We are in Toronto and will have off-white perimeter cabinets and a chocolate-stained dark island and dark armoire (for a pantry) and dark hutch. We too are having a terrible time trying to visualize the entire picture. We have decided to go with Antique Brown on the dark island. I saw Bianco Antico and liked it for the light perimeter cabs. But it looked a bit grey and hubby could not visualize it. Later that day at another granite place, he fell in love with a granite called Juperana Golden Beach for the perimeter cabs. This one goes better with our HW floors which are a medium red oak colour. So that is what we are doing. We have just tagged the granite slabs and have not yet paid a deposit for them, but I am always pining away to go back and see the Bianco Antico. Now after seeing yours, I am having second thoughts about the granite that hubby has chosen. As a granite, his choice is lovely, but my gut instinct keeps pulling me toward the Bianco Antico. Here is a photo of the slab we saw: Here is the Golden Beach that DH prefers: Good luck with finding pictures - that is really tough and if it were possible, it would make everything so much easier (especially for us). |
I'm no help with your photo request, but my sister also fell in love with BA, and I wondered how a fabricator would feel about it. The mica and crystal inclusions made the stone crumble and break apart on the samples we had...I wondered what would happen if someone used it for an island overhang, or if it would be fragile to move around the big slabs to cut and install. I'm not trying to be the voice of doom on your choice, because I truly don't know if it would be a problem or not. It seems like lots of stones have similar inclusions and are considered fine choices. Best wishes. |
- Posted by panamagirl (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 08 at 19:32
we used something similar in our kitchen, called Bianco Romano. It had less movement in it, but the same colors - I wonder if it is the same thing? We were in AZ at the time, so maybe they called it by a different name there. I loved it; we had maple cabs with a coffee glaze. I have pics but they aren't too good for seeing what the countertops look like - check out the backsplash, as that is BR as well. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to post my pics! Can somebody help?! |
Anna2006 - I live in Markham but the granite supplier is in Concord. I can see your hubby's hesitation with the particular Bianco slab you were looking at. It looks quite grey whereas the other slab you decided to go with is much more warm. I like the Golden Beach colour a lot, and we were going to go with a golden granite as well. But then we saw the Bianco Antico and were astounded by the beauty of it. I think you just need to find the right slab. Do you like the third pic I posted (where the slab looks more swirly)? If so, it may still be available. How many slabs do you need? We reserved 4 slabs from the lot we chose but we may only need 3 as we will do a cheaper material for the counter on the "message" centre beside our pantry to manage our budget. Our kitchen's fairly large - 17x18. Let me know if you're interested and I can send you the supplier name. |
redroze: yes, it would be wonderful if you could tell me where your Bianco Antico is located. I do prefer the first photo that you included in your post - it is absolutely beautiful! But I would like to see the slabs that are in your last photo. Although it is swirly, you only see it in 25" widths on the counters, so the "swirlies" will be split up anyway. Thank you in advance for the info. |
redroze - hopefully you will receive this message. I would love to know who your granite supplier is along with the address. I plan to go out looking one more time this Wednedsay or Thursday. |
Anna_2006 - Sorry for the lateness in my reply! I actually went granite-hunting yesterday in the Concord area. I went back to Albano to see the lot that I tagged (images in my original post). The first few slabs were shipped away and I was frankly disappointed with the look of the remaining slab. It looked very different from the one in the front. Long story short, I ended up finding an even nicer lot at Mondial. Bad news for you, is that 4 people tagged the same lot before me so I ended up getting the last two in this lot. They had another lot of Bianco Antico but it had waves. Try the following places: I'll also post some pics in a sec. |
Here is the disappointing one from Albano, from the same lot that I originally reserved. Now it always worries me when the supplier says "all slabs in the lot look the same" - SO not true!!! I don't like the sandy patches in it. If you like it though, I believe it's still available because I cancelled my tag. Here is the 3cm thick one from A&V Granite. Pretty nice. 2cm thick slab from A&V Granite. From Silverstone. A bit pinky but okay overall. From the lot I reserved at Mondial. Very consistent in colour and pattern with enough variation, and so much lovelier in person. Love it!!! If you like this one, I would totally recommend going back. They have a really good selection. |
Close-up shots of the first slab from the lot I reserved at Mondial. Oh how I hope that the other slabs behind it look as perfect as this one!!! I think you and I are pining for the same inanimate object. =) Good luck Anna!! |
Thank you soooo very much! The slabs at Mondial are truly beautiful. Actually, they all look nice and deserve a look. I agree that photos do not do these slabs justice. I have not gone to these places. The Bianco Antico that I posted above was from New Age Stone on Creditstone (I think) - it runs parallel to Jane. You are absolutely correct in saying that we are both pining away from the same thing. For me, it's just this gut feeling. Unfortunatley, with the many delays that we have had with this kitchen, I have been out to look at granite along Jane Street a few times over the last 4 months and my tastes have changed considerably. I started off loving granite with extreme movement, then moved onto the gold tones - Ghibli gold, Madura gold, etc. I finally took my teens out with me and they absolutely hated the golds = too orangey for them and old-fashioned. As a result of all of their input, I think that I have just learned to suppress any excitement about granite. But I have this nagging feeling that the right Bianco Antico might be perfect - elegant, quiet, understated, but still beautiful especially on light cabinets. This would look especially good in my kitchen since we want Antique Brown on a chocolate stained island, so it would end up being light on light and dark on dark. Thanks for the names of the granite places - I am packing up the entire family and we will go on Saturday. Or better yet, I will drag them out one at a time as they finish exams this week and have some time off. I can't wait to go. |
I think I went to New Age Stone. I went to so many that I lost track...honestly I wasn't impressed with the Bianco Antico there. It was too white for my tastes, too snowy (for lack of a better word) rather than warm. Agreed. That's what I love about this granite. Elegant, cool yet warm, understated yet sparkly, with a lot of depth and character. In a word - stunning. Good luck with your shopping. I hope your family finds a granite that you all love. My hubby and I happened to fall in love with Bianco Antico at the same time. We just had that wow moment. Although we butt heads on certain decisions, we tend to "love" the same things. Ultimately, I'd say you should keep an open mind, look at other granites, and inevitably follow what your heart tells you. You won't regret it. |
I agree that the dark on dark, white on white look will look amazing on your kitchen. You may even want to consider Kashmir White for your white cabinetry. Finally - I have to agree with your teenagers on their perceptions of the gold granites. I know taste is very subjective, and while there are a ton of beautiful granites out there, you and I appear to have similar tastes. The gold granites to me, always appear to overtake the white cabinetry so that they clash rather than compliment. That's why white or cream marble looks so nice with white wood, and of course marble is much harder to live with. Trust your teens - the fact that they gave you that feedback shows a) They have good instincts because they are inexperienced enough to say what their gut feeling is and b) They know your taste and are trying to steer you from it. Take your husband to see one of the warmer Bianco Anticos. Hopefully it will knock his socks off. |
Redroze, I was in Mondial also on Tuesday and put in an order for 2 slabs of Biaco Antico....I guess I must have been one of the ones ahead of you. I too have white cupboards, and read oak floors. A nice description on the net for this granite is "This new granite is a subtle mix of cream, bronze and silver colors in a large overall pattern. The flakes of quartz and mica in this stone give it extraordinary depth, and the combination of warm and cool tones make Bianco Antico appropriate for many color schemes. The name appropriately translates to "Antique White." also found this link http://www.marble.com/stone/Bianco,Antico,35.html Well along with Anna2006, I too will be hoping I get a good slab and looks as wonderful as I think it will in my kitchen. |
Thanks for the description Heidee! Let's cross our fingers that the entire lot has nice slabs. Be sure to post pics too when your kitchen is done. I'd love to see them. |
If you get a good deal on the bianco antico and I need cabinets in a walnut finish. Please forward them to me. I also fell in love with this granite at the home show. My kitchen is smaller. Its only 10 ft. by 5 ft. counters. Actually 8 x 5 because of the fridge and stove |

What edge did you have done on your granite countertops? Running out on my lunch hour to pay for our Bianco Antico! Ordered GE profile stainless cooktop, microwave and Delta "touch" operated faucet. Love the Blancodiamond 440179 granite composite sink (in black). Painting the kitchen cabinets black and possibly glazing them...any tips or ideas you have are greatly appreciated! |
I am so excited about my new granite - I wanted to show it off somewhere!
I an installing Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel, Touch2O Faucet, and a 10 deep stainless single basin sink. My cabinets are a walnut with a "fireside and chocolate" stain and glaze by Mid Continent. My whole renovation album is here: https://picasaweb.google.com/kristi.mennenga/KitchenRemodel# ...and as you can tell we are still hammering out the floor! |
I did the square edge on mine... |

Peaceful Anti-Puppy Mill Protest of Citipups
What: Peaceful Anti-Puppy Mill Protest of Citipups
Where: Citipups – 147 8th Avenue, New York, New York 10011
When: Wednesday, March 27, 2013; from 6:00 PM EST to 8:00 PM EST
Why: Citipups purchases dogs from known puppy mills in the Midwest. These inhumane breeders have hundreds of dogs crammed into small cages. In some cases, dogs come from trash-filled facilities that fail to pass minimum USDA requirements for sanitation. There are reported cases of dogs with preventable diseases like kennel cough, parasites, Giardia, Coccidia, Bilateral Cryptorchidism, ulcers, Demodectic Mange, and multiple infections. Lack of adequate veterinary care is rampant in most of the Citipups suppliers. Selling dogs from these mass breeders exposes consumers to sickly dogs that can cause significant financial and emotional strain. The practice is tantamount to consumer fraud.
How: CAPS President Deborah Howard will attend the protest on Wednesday at the Chelsea location of Citipups after appearing in several national and local media outlets. All week long, she will be promoting CAPS' new national advertising campaign, Models Against Pet Shops and Puppy Mills, and working with local CAPS volunteers on the protest. During the protest, CAPS will hand out fliers and brochures to potential pet buyers. Part of our protest will include signs and talks about the cruelty of puppy mills and the pet shops that support them.

Just want I wanted
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I was iffy about getting magnets and we were sending out save the dates before our engagement photos were done so I wanted something with a cute design but not really formal. The color personalization was way more open than I expected so I got the colors that I wanted. They were very sturdy and looked beautiful, did not peel at the corners like some printed magnets do. I'm so glad they came with envelopes as well.
Great Experience
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I am highly impressed by the experience with magnetstreet.com! The production time was a little long in my opinion for only 75 small magnets but I am extremely pleased with the finished product. Especially with the packaging. My order arrived in a beautiful keepsake box, which I will utilize with other wedding stuff, and included a staitonary look book. The look book was great to help with chosing fonts and paper products. I would absolutely use magnetstreet.com again and reccomend friends and family do that same.
Exceeded expectations!
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I was a little worries ordering my save the dates without being able to see the finished product first but I am so very happy with them! The colors are exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to get my invitations!!!!
Thrilled with our order!
Watercolor Mason Jar Rectangle Invitations Everything about working with magnetStreet was wonderful. I loved that I could save my work (it took a couple weeks to create our invites) and make adjustments as needed. The variety of colors was appreciated so we could tailor the design to our wedding colors. Our order was quickly processed and shipped and I thought the box our invites came in was really nice, as well! For the price we paid, I was surprised as to how high-quality the invites ended up. The paper stock is sturdy but not so heavy-duty that it's cumbersome. The choice of basic designs were widespread and I love that magnetStreet is keeping up on current trends - mason jars are everywhere right now, so it was great to be able to incorporate our decor into the invites. So much personalization available when designing- moving words, changing all colors, adjusting fonts. I'm so glad magnetStreet was recommended to us because I know we couldn't have found better invitations or a better experience anywhere else. Also, props to the company for offering a lot of coupons and discounts!
Watercolor Mason Jar Rectangle Invitations The invitations arrived exactly as they had been designed. The quality of the paper was fantastic (I would know I'm a scrapbooker). The fact that you were able to personalize the invitation to match our wedding colors exactly, was such a blessing. Trying to find a rustic theme in Navy and Gray is not easy (trust me, I looked for months). The pricing for the invitations was by far the best I saw online. I will definitely recommend this site to all my friends and family for future needs.

Dusting Wikipedia for fingerprints
The Web site that makes it easier to track changes in the online encyclopedia shows that the culprit sometimes is a self-serving company or agency.
The New York Times
Last year, someone edited the Wikipedia entry for the SeaWorld theme parks to change all mentions of "orcas" to "killer whales," insisting that was a more accurate name for the species.
There was another unexplained edit: A paragraph about criticism of SeaWorld's "lack of respect toward its orcas" disappeared.
Both changes, it turns out, originated at a computer at Anheuser-Busch, SeaWorld's owner.
Dozens of similar examples of insider editing came to light last week through WikiScanner, a new Web site that traces the source of millions of changes to Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
The site, wikiscanner.virgil.gr, created by a computer-science graduate student, Virgil Griffith, cross-references an edited entry on Wikipedia with the owner of the computer network where the change originated, using the Internet protocol address of the editor's network.
The address information already was available on Wikipedia, but the new site makes it much easier to connect those numbers with the names of network owners.
Since Wired News first wrote about WikiScanner last week, Internet users have noticed plenty of interesting changes to Wikipedia by people at nonprofits and government entities, such as the CIA. Many of the most obviously self-interested edits have come from company networks.
Last year, someone at PepsiCo deleted several paragraphs of the Pepsi entry that focused on its detrimental health effects. In 2005, someone using a computer at Diebold deleted paragraphs that criticized the company's electronic voting machines. That same year, someone from inside Wal-Mart Stores changed an entry about employee compensation.
Jimmy Wales, founder of the Wikimedia Foundation, which runs Wikipedia, says the site has a policy that discourages such "conflict-of-interest" editing. "We don't make it an absolute rule," he said, "but it's definitely a guideline."
Internet experts, for the most part, have welcomed WikiScanner.
"I'm very glad that this has been exposed," said Susan Crawford, a visiting professor at the University of Michigan Law School. "Wikipedia is a reliable first stop for getting information about a huge variety of things, and it shouldn't be manipulated as a public-relations arm of major companies."
Most of the corporate revisions did not stay posted for long. Many Wikipedia entries are in a constant state of flux as they are edited and re-edited, and the site's many regular volunteers and administrators tend to keep an eye out for bias.
In general, changes to a Wikipedia page cannot be traced to an individual, only to the owner of a particular network. In 2004, someone using a computer at Exxon Mobil made substantial changes to a description of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, playing down its impact on the area's wildlife and casting a positive light on compensation payments the company had made to victims of the spill.
Gantt Walton, a spokesman for the company, said that although the revisions appeared to have come from an Exxon Mobil computer, the company has more than 80,000 employees around the world, making it "more than a difficult task" to figure out who made the changes.
Walton said Exxon Mobil employees "are not authorized to update Wikipedia with company computers without company endorsement." The company's preferred approach, he said, would be to use Wikipedia's "talk" pages, a forum for discussing Wikipedia entries.
Wales also said the "talk" pages are where Wikipedia encourages editors with a conflict of interest to suggest revisions.
"If someone sees a simple factual error about their company, we really don't mind if they go in and edit," he said. But if a revision is likely to be controversial, he added, "the best thing to do is log in, go to the 'talk' page, identify yourself openly, and say, 'I'm the communications person from such and such company.' The community responds very well, especially if the person isn't combative."
An Anheuser-Busch employee eventually took responsibility for the changes to the SeaWorld page, but only after another user challenged him twice.
Most people using company networks to edit Wikipedia entries dabble in subjects that appear to have little to do with their work, although sometimes they cannot resist a silly dig at the competition.
Last year, someone using a computer at The Washington Post Co. changed the name of the owner of a free local paper, The Washington Examiner, from Philip Anschutz to Charles Manson. A person using a computer at CBS updated the page on Wolf Blitzer of CNN to add that his real name was Irving Federman. (It is actually Wolf Blitzer.)
And The New York Times is among those institutions whose employees have made, among hundreds of innocuous changes, a handful of questionable edits.
A change to the page about President Bush, for instance, repeats the word "jerk" 11 times. "It's impossible to determine who did any of these things," said Craig Whitney, the standards editor of The Times. "But you can only shake your head when you see what was done."
WikiScanner is the work of Griffith, 24, a visiting researcher at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. Griffith said he got interested in creating such a tool last year after hearing that members of Congress were editing their own entries.
Griffith said he "was expecting a few people to get nailed pretty hard" after his service became public: "The yield, in terms of public-relations disasters, is about what I expected."
Griffith, who also likes to refer to himself as a "disruptive technologist," said he was certain many more examples of self-interested editing would come out in the next few weeks, "because the data set is just so huge."
Griffith said he was working on ideas to help users "drill down to the good stuff faster."
Wales said he was considering some changes to Wikipedia to help visitors better understand what information is recorded about them.
"When someone clicks on 'edit,' it would be interesting if we could say, 'Hi, thank you for editing. We see you're logged in from The New York Times. Keep in mind that we know that, and it's public information.'
"That might make them stop and think."

Man to pay $18K for road damage
Friday, April 29, 2005
A Steamboat Springs man who bulldozed a road into a wilderness study area must pay $18,000 to repair the damage he caused.
In District Court on Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gudrun Rice ordered Douglas Matthews to pay $18,000 to repair damage he caused to the Skull Creek/Willow Creek Wilderness Study Area near Dinosaur.
Earlier this year, Matthews pleaded guilty to bulldozing a five-mile road into the wilderness study area about five years ago.
Bureau of Land Management spokesperson Mel Lloyd declined to state Matthews' motive.
"This senseless action not only caused resource damage in a wilderness study area, but also caused unnecessary degradation to several archaeological sites," BLM Special Agent in Charge John Silence said in a statement. "The ramifications of breaking the law on BLM public lands are severe."
Matthews also will have to pay a $1,000 fine.
According to a BLM press release, parts of the wilderness study area will require restoration and archaeological sites need repaired and stabilized.

Happy Birthday Tchaikovsky!
By Susan Lewis
This week we mark the birthday of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who was born in Russia on May 7, 1840 and died suddenly at age 53. As WRTI's Susan Lewis reports, the composer - internationally renowned for his great melodies - was also a master of technique and form. His body of work includes major works for the ballet, opera, and orchestra, as well as chamber music, concertos, sacred music, piano music, and solo songs.

The thoroughly vetted staff members at Scrubs Pet Care all have more than 10 years of animal-care experience and have passed background and future checks to earn the title of pet caretaker. During sessions in the salon or in mobile grooming trailers, skilled groomers pamper dogs and cats, taking care to trim their nails, brush their teeth, and track down split ends with baths and haircuts. Cage-free overnight boarding and doggy daycare services keep dogs and cats in comfort while pet owners are at work, on vacation, or adding a jacuzzi to the doghouse.
Dr. Richard Tillema has been caring for animals his entire life?he grew up on a dairy farm. He later operated a mobile pet-care clinic before establishing Tillema Veterinary Clinic, a brick-and-mortar spot for a variety of pet-care services. Here, he and his staff perform vaccinations, teeth cleanings, and surgeries, as well as less common treatments, such as acupuncture, cold-laser therapy, and home euthanasia. They also help pets lose weight and improve their health without purchasing schnauzer-size ellipticals.
El Camino Ranch has cared for a growing family of Arabian horses since 1983, when it was founded with a mission to help people connect with the intelligent creatures. The ranch itself traces its origins back even further—to the early 1950s, when Bill and LaVesta Locklin started a farm and began to grow oranges and tomatoes against the scenic backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountain range.
Today, LaVesta's son, Scott, and her granddaughter, Vandi, continue to look after the facilities, showering their horses with affection and treating them to a healthy daily schedule of riding with guests, participating in shows, and munching on fresh treats from the orange grove. During lessons, the trainers guide students through riding techniques and teach them the basics of equine grooming, tacking, and health care. They also organize a special series of "Pony Pal" lessons for children as young as 3, saving the horses the indignity of galloping around with training wheels glued to their haunches.
Green Acres Ranch opened as a private ranch in 1957 where one family bred, trained, and showed arabians. Now, the 50-acre ranch is open to all and can house up to 200 steeds. Experienced instructors train riders during lessons in english, western, and dressage styles and take competitors to regional and national horse shows. They also lead groups through the surrounding wine country's rolling foothills, sun-drenched valleys, and wine-stained clouds during guided trail rides and introduce youngsters to riding through seasonal horse camps, scouting programs, and birthday parties.
Opening the world of riding and animal care to individuals of all abilities, Green Acres' interactive animal therapy program gives kids and individuals with special needs the chance to interact with small animals and ride horses. The fully functioning ranch also trains and boards clients' horses.

Frenzy of International Bidding Pushes Total to $1.82 Million at John W. Coker Sale
Twelve bidders pursued Pierre Bonnards 1925 oil on canvas titled Landscape St.-Tropez. Some were calling it a sleeper, but it didnt sleep for long, Coker said, with a laugh. Against an estimate of $60,000-$90,000, the 20½- by 12½-inch artwork left a big impression when it ultimately sold to a European bidder for $275,000.
Knoxvilles McGhee Tyson Airport experienced a mini traffic boom during the weeks leading up to
John W. Cokers
Sept. 15, 2010 auction, as potential bidders converged on the region with one goal in mind: to preview and buy artworks from the collection of the late Dr. Albert K. Chapman.
Cokers $1.82 million sale of the former Eastman Kodak CEOs Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art collection contained 83 paintings, each offered without reserve. This added enticement attracted bidders from points as far afield as Germany and California.
There were retail dealers, private collectors and representatives from several institutions, as well as a few curious local art lovers. Bids came from everywhere New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston you name it, said auction company owner John Coker. There were even two dealers at the Paris Biennale who interrupted their business on the events opening day to bid by phone. Everyone knew these paintings were absolutely fresh to the market and from a single-family collection that was started back in the 1930s.
The auctions top lot, a Mary Cassatt portrait of a woman and her young daughter, nearly hit the million-dollar-mark. The 25½- by 30½-inch pastel-on-paper titled Simone Seated on the Grass Next to Her Mother had been one of the prized pictures in Dr. Chapmans collection. It was the only painting in the collection ever to have been displayed publicly at the Smithsonian in 1970. Entered with a $400,000-$700,000 estimate, it sold to a well-known California art dealer and collector for $990,000.
Twelve bidders pursued Pierre Bonnards 1925 oil on canvas titled Landscape St.-Tropez. Some were calling it a sleeper, but it didnt sleep for long, Coker said, with a laugh. Against an estimate of $60,000-$90,000, the 20½- by 12½-inch artwork left a big impression when it ultimately sold to a European bidder for $275,000. People from England and Germany were bidding aggressively on this artwork, and the underbidder was a New York art dealer, Coker said.
A verdant 1899 Emile Bernard oil on canvas measuring, 24 by 18 inches and titled La Poulda, was another high flier. A notation attached to the painting identified the scene of geese on a hillside as being Village de Pont Aven. It was offered with letter of provenance signed by the artists son, as well as extensive additional information regarding prior ownership. Estimated at $40,000-$60,000, it realized $236,500. The buyer was the same individual from California who had lodged the winning bid on the Cassatt.
Another noteworthy lot was Gustave Loiseaus (French, 1865-1935) panoramic outlook over Paris titled A View from the Artists Studio. Signed and dated 1925, the 21¼- by 25½-inch oil-on-canvas cityscape garnered an above-estimate price of $77,000.
A Dutch-born American artist known for his depictions of Southern life, Anthony Thieme (1888-1954) was represented in the sales top 10 with a stunning oil on canvas titled Entrance Magnolia Gardens in Spring Charleston, S.C. The richly colorful painting in multiple shades of fuchsia and pink had been estimated at $50,000-$70,000 but quickly rose to $99,000.
That was a staggering amount of money for that painting, but it was a wonderful artwork that many people obviously appreciated, just as Dr. Chapman had, Coker said. The Thieme was one of his favorites. It had a place of honor in Dr. and Mrs. Chapmans living room in Rochester, New York and later in the home of their daughter Elizabeth Chapman Hansons beautiful colonial residence in Madison, Georgia.
Coker described the atmosphere in the saleroom as sizzling with excitement. In fact, there were times when bidders got so excited they even unwittingly raised their hands to bid against themselves. Our auctioneer, David Easter, was on the ball. He would say, No maam, you dont need to raise your own bid.
Coker said he made sure his auction house held up the long tradition of gracious Southern hospitality for the approximately 50 people in attendance, including Dr. Chapmans grandson, Nicholas Gardner Chapman Hanson.
Everyone was offered a choice of beverages that included mimosas and bloody Marys, and they were treated to a deluxe Southern-style buffet lunch, complete with sugar-cured country ham, homemade biscuits and fresh apple-stack cake a true Southern delicacy. The Yankees loved it, Coker remarked.
After the event, Coker heard from several dealers who expressed amazement over the prices achieved by the Tennessee auction house. One of them said we were getting prices they couldnt have gotten even in New York or other big cities, where some art auctions have had a buy-in rate of as high as 80 percent over the last few years, Coker said. I told them it was easy to see why the art did so well. It was a fresh to the market collection that had been out of view for many decades, and we advertised it heavily as a collection that was to be auctioned without reserve. Bidders knew there wasnt going to be any game playing. It was there to be sold.
John W. Coker will auction furniture and accessories from the Dr. Albert K. Chapman Estate on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Niles Gray pities the fool who goes a whole summer without reading.
Well, he probably won't call the person a fool. But keeping his end of a deal to kids who did read this summer, the Lawrenceville Library Associate shaved his hair to look like former "A-Team" star Mr. T.
Every year the Gwinnett County libraries participate in the summer reading club, a program that lets kid set reading goals with their parents at the beginning of the summer with many prizes along the way. The Lawrenceville branch only had 12 students complete the program last year.
Gray thought they could do better. In the Suwanee Branch, 100 kids completed the program after a staffer promised to dye his hair blue for a week. So Navis gave the kids his extra incentive: promising to don the "A-team" star's prominent hairdo in exchange for 431/2 students completing the program, putting them ahead of all nearby libraries.
The goal was surpassed, and 61 kids successfully completed the summer reading program. On Aug. 9, 31 people showed up to see another staff member give Davis the promised haircut.
"I had a childhood dream of shaving my head like Mr. T. I didn't think it would take 28 years to get to it," Davis said.
Many of the kids who finished the program were middle schoolers, a crucial target group. The Lawrenceville library staff said kids start to lose interest in reading during adolescence as they develop other interests and read not-so-fun books in school.
"Reading is the best thing there is, they just haven't found the book they loved yet," Davis said.
Lawrenceville Branch Manager Beth McIntyre says the program complements school summer reading to help expand kids' horizons.
"Reading contributes to success in later life," she said. "I tell kids you need to keep reading so you'll be rich one day. We want people to enjoy reading."

Watters Edge Design wins big at the Los Angeles ADDY Awards.
The 2008 American Advertising Federation ADDY Awards Contest has been referred to as, "the world's largest and arguably toughest advertising competition" and in order to win, creativity is key. The judges want something that will catch your eye and is unique, and they agreed that Watters Edge Design exemplified those qualities in 4 different designs.
Principal and owner of Watters Edge Design, Scott Watters, entered 5 media pieces this year, and won awards in 4 different categories: website, album cover/online promo, monument/outdoor signage, and a vehicle wrap.
Watters is the former Creative Director for Earthlink Networks Inc, and he's no stranger to the ADDY's. Last year, Watters took home 3 awards, one for his work on Nixie Cosmetics in the Valencia Town Center, another for his Theatre Project SCV media kit, and lastly for his brochure for Clearogen. Not to mention, back in 2006, he won an ADDY award for the vehicle wrap on the KHTS truck.
Watters said he was very excited to receive 4 awards. "We were shocked and amazed that we won so much this year; it's such an honor."
Although Watters was surprised he won, his clients weren't. "Winning an Addy award for the work that Watters Edge Design did for our online campaign was a fitting acknowledgment. We were thrilled with the creative and practical solutions they came up with for what was an ambitious endeavor, and we congratulate them in the recognition and attention they are receiving for it," said client David Vanacore of 24 Seven Music. Vanacore is often referred to as the "King of Reality" and has composed music for countless TV shows such as, NBC's "The Apprentice", CBS' "Survivor" and FOX's "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader". Watters' work on 24 Seven Music album cover won 1st in cover/online promo.
Watters also took home awards for his work on the City of Santa Clarita's Transit outdoor signage, the 51st California Valley Fair website, and his vehicle wrap design for Truck and Transportation Services truck.
