Measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), aerosol size distributions, and submicron aerosol composition were made as part of the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment Phase B (INTEX-B) campaign during spring 2006. Measurements were conducted from an aircraft platform over the northeastern Pacific and western North America with a focus on how the transport and evolution of Asian pollution across the Pacific Ocean affected CCN properties. A broad range of air masses were sampled and here we focus on three distinct air mass types defined geographically: the Pacific free troposphere (FT), the marine boundary layer (MBL), and the polluted continental boundary layer in the California Central Valley (CCV). These observations add to the few observations of CCN in the FT. CCN concentrations showed a large range of concentrations between air masses, however CCN activity was similar for the MBL and CCV (κ~0.2–0.25). FT air masses showed evidence of long-range transport from Asia and CCN activity was consistently higher than for the boundary layer air masses. Bulk chemical measurements predicted CCN activity reasonably well for the CCV and FT air masses. Decreasing trends in κ with organic mass fraction were observed for the combination of the FT and CCV air masses and can be explained by the measured soluble inorganic chemical components. Changes in hygroscopicity associated with differences in the non-refractory organic composition were too small to be distinguished from the simultaneous changes in inorganic ion composition in the FT and MBL, although measurements for the large organic fractions (0.6–0.8) found in the CCV showed values of the organic fraction hygroscopicity consistent with other polluted regions (κorg~0.1–0.2). A comparison of CCN-derived κ (for particles at the critical diameter) to H-TDMA-derived κ (for particles at 100 nm diameter) showed similar trends, however the CCN-derived κ values were significantly higher.

Letters to the Editor
Readers write about the debate over whether or not to legalize marijuana.
Reasons to legalize marijuana
Regarding the May 22 editorial, "Legalize marijuana? Not so fast": Marijuana is not a "harmless" substance. Very few things humans put into their body are. However, cannabis's potential health risks to the user are low compared with those of other intoxicants – alcohol and tobacco in particular – and the drug's relative impact on society is nominal.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control, alcohol consumption is the third leading cause of death in America, trailing only tobacco smoking and poor diet. By contrast, marijuana use – as admitted by the Monitor – cannot cause fatal overdose and is relatively nontoxic to healthy human cells and organs.
In fact, a 2007 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare study reported that cannabis use was responsible for zero deaths and only 0.2 percent of the estimated total burden of disease and injury in that country. (Marijuana use rates in Australia are comparable to those in the United States.)
Further, it is disingenuous to highlight pot's potential risks, of which there are relatively few, while simultaneously ignoring the costs associated with enforcing marijuana prohibition, of which there are many.
The continued criminalization of cannabis has led to the arrest of over 20 million Americans since 1965, empowered and enriched criminal entrepreneurs, and alienated millions of otherwise law-abiding citizens while creating widespread disrespect for the rule of law among minorities and young people. At the same time, this expensive and arbitrary policy has done virtually nothing to address the very concerns voiced by the Monitor.
Clearly it is time to try a different approach.
The Monitor asserts that "activists claim that it may ease symptoms for certain patients – though it has not been endorsed by the major medical associations representing those patients." Not true. Here are two of many examples:

Move Over Messi - Giaccherini Is After You!
Paolo Di Canio believes he has signed one of the best players in Europe following the arrival of Emanuele Giaccherini from Juventus.
The 28-year-old Italy international winger, who can also play in a forward role, was signed by Di Canio for £6.5million last week and is set to make his Black Cats debut against Tottenham in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
Paolo Di Canio: "In my opinion he's one of the best players in Europe to suit my system.
"There are not many wingers with his intelligence or ability to interpret the role.
"The way he moves around the pitch and the space he creates for his team-mates and his overall ability to read games - he's one of the top players.
"He was one of the best players in the Confederations Cup and he's a regular in the national team.
"He's a very good player; he's further behind his team-mates in terms of fitness because he finished late at the Confederations Cup.
"I'm sure the fans are going to enjoy what they see from him because he is a good player."

Sure, he's no one-of-a-kind. But if he's an "Asset", why give him away for NOTHING? He's a very solid glue guy. Stuck/AA/Jonas/Max/Wallace would be murderous defensive lineup. It's like giving up Jonas for nothing right now.
I agree he's one of those "asset" guys, but I think that's part of the reason he got traded. He's exactly the type of player you'd risk losing to free up cap to get a better player. Plus a guy like Jerebko is the type of player you should replace him with. Not the same position, but they both bring that hustle and defense. And you'd assume Jerebko still has room to grow in his game.
What does a steady diet of minutes look like? You can make all the excuses you want but Amir is not making too many Piston fans regretful so far.
Arron Afflalo is an example of why Joe is a really good GM. Denver owes Joe a solid for "giving" them AA. AA owes Joe for appreciating him enough to send him somewhere he could get major mins, start, and show the league that he deserves to be here; he never would have gotten that opportunity in detroit. Do not think for one minute that other GM's, players and agents didn't notice this gesture; it's why we can land FA's when we have caproom, because the ENTIRE LEAGUE (sans Darko) knows that Joe is a standup GM. If a person can't see the value in this move then that person must be really short sighted.
I wouldn't trade Jerko for Amir Johnson. I do wonder though- What would it take for you guys to pull the trigger on a Jerko trade? Suppose salaries didn't matter. Would you do it for David Lee? Rajon Rondo? Caron Butler? Chris Bosh? Dwyane Wade?
I'm not sure how much better JJ can get, so not Lee. Rondo, Wade, Bosh no brainer. Butler is hurt too much, despite being a damn fine offensive player. While Wade is the obvious choice, I'd say Rondo is second because he's a big pass first PG and would be deadly playing with Ben Gordon.
After reading all the replies, I realized something. Amir will become the legendary NBA player he was meant to be when all the stars line up correctly to ignite the karma that is oozing out of his belly button. We were foolish to not wait long enough. @KGREG: Great points bro!
Here is how I look at it. From a production perspective, Amir gives you more per minute than Jerebko in every stat except for fouls. We played Amir and we play Jerebko for less minutes than it would take Amir to foul out anyway, so that limiting factor is not allowed to play out for either guy. So, the only area where Amir is worse is that he will commit 1.5 more fouls per 25 minutes than Jonas would, which translates into about 1 point for the other team. If his other performance makes up for that, then he's a better player. If it doesn't make up for it, then he isn't.
TaShawn, I don't know about Amir so I don't know what energy he brings to the game but it's not just the numbers that win games. For example when JJ stoped a fastbreak some time ago in a cruisal part of the game, it wont show in any stats.
Amir was an energy player. The main argument I could make for him last year was that we happened to do very well while he was on the court (i.e., his +/- was unusually high compared to his stats). The biggest thing that doesn't show up in stats is playing solid defense (without getting steals, blocks, etc.). Take Bowen for example. I think that Amir and Jonas are both pretty decent in this area. The main difference is that even though they are physically similar, we'd have Amir guarding power forwards (guys like KG even) and we have Jonas guarding SF's more often. That is where some of the foul differential may come from. The REALLY good defensive players tend not to foul very often though. Ben Wallace is a great example of that. It's sometimes hard to tell why that is the case. Possible reasons are 1) they are fundamentally sound... good footwork, etc., 2) they get respect from the refs, and 3) the other team avoids challenging them. Amir clearly didn't have any of these things going for him and IMO, he should have layed off on the help D at times in order to stay in the coach's good graces.
So that means that after 20 or so games, Jonas is about as good as Amir after several years in the league? I'll take JJ.
I will call this a landslide in favor of JJ as soon as he gets 90% of all votes....currently sitting at 87% Go Jonas brother!
Except that they don't show that he is currently as productive. Here is what they show. He is 95% the scorer, 69% the rebounder, 58% the stealer, and 46% the shot blocker as Amir. The one category that he exceeds him is assists, where he is 14% better. Even though Jonas is less productive than Amir, it is still really great to have such an effective young player on the team. I'm glad he is getting so much support from the internet fan base and the coach.
Amir needs a steady diet of mins. He needs to play 21 MPG in 7 min intervals. Failure to abide by this specific formula will lead to that clumsy foul prone version.
Here is a ranking of the Pistons from best to worst this year. I was able to determine the ranking by using the most important stat in basketball... foul frequency. Atkins Rip Ben Wallace Gordon Prince Stuckey Bynum Daye Villanueva Brown Wilcox Jerebko Maxiell Summers This should pretty much settle any further debate on the matter. If you are wondering if Stuckey is better than Bynum for instance, just refer to this.

How Does Asperger's Syndrome differ from Autism?
What distinguishes Asperger's syndrome from autism is the severity of the symptoms and the absence of language delays. Children with Asperger's syndrome may be only mildly affected and frequently have good language and cognitive skills. To the untrained observer, a child with Asperger's syndrome may just seem like a normal child behaving differently.
Children with autism are frequently seen as aloof and uninterested in others. This is not the case with Asperger's syndrome. Individuals with Asperger's syndrome usually want to fit in and have interaction with others; they simply don't know how to do it. They may be socially awkward, not understand conventional social rules, or may show a lack of empathy. They may have limited eye contact, seem to be unengaged in a conversation, and not understand the use of gestures. However, the fact that some persons with Asperger's may make eye contact does not rule out the diagnosis for them. Therefore, a child who can make eye contact could still have Asperger's syndrome.
Interests in a particular subject may border on the obsessive. Children with Asperger's syndrome frequently like to collect categories of things, such as rocks or bottle caps. They may be proficient in knowing categories of information, such as baseball statistics or Latin names of flowers.While they may have good rote memory skills, they may have difficulty with abstract concepts.
One of the major differences between Asperger's syndrome and autism is that, by definition, there is no speech delay in Asperger's. In fact, children with Asperger's syndrome frequently have a large vocabulary and can talk a lot; they simply use language in different ways. Speech patterns may be unusual, lack inflection, or have a rhythmic nature or they may be formal, but too loud, too quiet, or high pitched. Sometimes their speech can be informal when it needs to be formal, or vice versa. They also may not be able to communicate the message that is most important, especially when they are stressed or upset.
Children with Asperger's syndrome may not understand the subtleties of language, such as irony and humor, or they may not understand the give and take nature of a conversation. Another distinction between Asperger's syndrome and autism concerns cognitive ability. While some individuals with autism experience cognitive delay, by definition a person with Asperger's syndrome cannot possess a "clinically significant" cognitive delay and most possess an average to above average intelligence. While motor difficulties are not a specific criteria for Asperger's, children with Asperger's syndrome frequently have motor skill delays and may appear clumsy or awkward.

How to delete synchronized photos or move them on iPhone and iPad [Tip, Jailbreak]
Posted By Alihassan Mahdi On January 22, 2014 @ 11:23 AM In iOS | 3 Comments
By default, when you sync photos to your device via iTunes, you wont be able to delete it from your device album neither can you move the synchronized photos to your camera roll. The only way to delete the synchronized photos is to connect it to your PC and delete it via iTunes. Such a limitation imposed by Apple can be quite annoying sometimes.
A new jailbreak tweak has been released in Cydia that allows you to delete the synchronized photos from your iOS device album. Called iDeletePhotos, the tweak gives you more control over the photos synchronized via iTunes.
No setting is required for the tweak to work. Once you install iDeletePhotos, you can easily delete the synchronized photos from your device album without having to connect it to your PC and use iTunes. In addition, you can move any of the synchronized photos to your camera roll or any other album you have created on your device.
If you want to get rid of this restriction imposed by Apple on their devices then you must install iDeletePhotos. The jailbreak tweak developed by iOSDevT is available in Cydia for free and works on all iPhone, iPad and iPod running iOS 6 and later.

The printer would not work and the mouse was acting up. BUT the front desk attendant allowed me to print my boarding pass there.
Such friendly, attentive staff and lovely accommodations.
Friendly staff Comfortable bed. Clean room. Good breakfast
Accommodations were excellent! Great breakfast as well. Was very impressed with Maria who helped us with Restaurant choices and reservations as well as where to go to see the sites! Was also impressed with the gentleman who called us when we first arrived in our room to make sure we were happy! Would definitely recommend you to anyone!! Very happy!
Just not sure if we heard a mouse in the wall?? Didn't last but a few short minutes so we weren't absolutely sure if that was what it was. However, very happy with staff, their help , room, breakfast. Thank you!
Clean, comfortable, quiet
Location is a bit out of town
Friendly helpful knowledgeable staff. Clean comfortable spacious room. Excellent hot breakfast. Good pool/pool area. Hampton Inns never fail to deliver!
Nothing not to like about the Hampton Inn, Lenox.
clean, comfortable beds, love the comforters, nice breakfast included
Lenox has close places to eat and shop including Pittsfield, and the inn is far from the main road so it's very quiet. The king room was amazing, and the breakfast was fun (even the bananas had playful writings on them). The staff was helpful and gracious. There is an amazing photo-op, especially during Autumn, behind the inn where a small pond is accessible with great view. picnic tables are at the edge of the pond.
Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, particularly Rob at the front desk. It is a very well thought out hotel and it is very well run.
Large room Quiet location Outside relax area by the lake Casual breakfast
All the paper cups and plastic cutlery, but that's not such a big deal.
Excellent facilities - gym, pool, internett, printers. Rooms extremely comfortable and quiet. Very good breakfast included (included several hot items - sausages, scrambled eggs etc). Easy drive to Lenox
Centre of Lenox not walkable fro the hotel - distance not great, but busy roads with no pavements dangerous on foot.
Staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Accommodations were very comfortable and spacious. Front desk staff helped us select excellent restaurants and made reservations for us. Contacted us to give us details.
Very friendly staff and good value for the location. Room was clean with comfortable beds.
Wish we could have been able to open the window for some fresh air.
staff friendly and respnsive
towels not near shower and bathroom fan; paper cups
Change of blanket cover and pillow covers
Noise from the highway, they should fill up rooms from the quiet street side first.
The staff was extremely helpful. The room was well equipped with amenities that might have been necessary. Cleanliness was appreciated.
The entrance from the highway was not well placed. It was low to the ground and not easy noticed. We passed by it multiple times until we noticed the entrance
like the room it was nice and clean my fiance was really really like the room and gave me points it was our 6th anniversary together she did love the room
Spacious room with a restful lake view at the back. It's not in the middle of old Lenox but there are plenty of walkable bars & eateries nearby so the car isn't required at all times. We went out of season so it was particularly quiet. All in all a great base for a trip to the Berkshires.
Great breakfast selection, location, cleanliness and comfort of room. And very friendly staff.
The staff was SO friendly and helpful!! It really makes a difference. Our room was large and comfortable. The pool was nice.
I wish Hampton Inn would stop using styrofoam plates, unless it's some kind of new biodegradable styrofoam? It spoils an otherwise nice breakfast.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Couldn't have been better.
Pillows to squishy.

I have just been informed that normal draft games are not for practice. I have been informed that I am in the wrong, and normal draft games are serious business, for serious players. For all of you thinking that you can just play normal draft games all day and work on your skills, you are very much mistaken. I am so grateful, for this eye opening information, into the critical nature of normal draft games.
well to be honest, any kind of normal isn't for pure practice. You should still take normal seriously even though it isn't ranked because it's still all human players playing a game they want to enjoy. If you want pure practice, go to co-op vs AI, that's what it's there for. You shouldn't even go into normals with a champ you don't know how to play. It is sorta practice in a way, but it's competitive practice that should still be taken seriously.
I understand you don't "play to lose" in a normal draft game, but pulling the generic "go play vs bots" line to someone is not realistic. Bots do not simulate anywhere near the same level of play that is experienced versus players. Bots are for the people that are new, or clueless about a character, but it takes a legitimate challenge for someone to improve.

The Enquirer's website has a story from the Detroit Free Press about Sparky Anderson in retuirement.
Sparky walks off baseball memories
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - It's still dark at 5:35 a.m. in Sparky Anderson's neighborhood.
Streetlights illuminate the bend in the road near his home, casting a warm glow on the blanket of flowers in his front yard. The envy of the block, Anderson will tell you later.
The first few minutes after waking up, Anderson moves quietly so he won't disturb Carol, his wife of 52 years.
Anderson has kicked off most mornings this way since 1999, four years after retiring from managing the Detroit Tigers, when amid his recovery from heart-bypass surgery he embraced a routine that he says has enhanced his life more than baseball ever did.
You know this because at 5:37 a.m., Anderson is standing in his driveway. He unscrews the cap from a bottle filled with iced tea and takes a swig.
"Let's go for a walk," Anderson says.
This is not just a baseball story.
Fans in Detroit, where the Tigers hang on to a division lead after years of dismal records, remember Anderson as the manager who led the Tigers to the 1984 World Series title.
In Cincinnati, he's revered for taking the Big Red Machine to the 1975 and 1976 championships.
Elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000, Anderson remains the only manager to win a World Series in both the American and National leagues. He retired in 1995 after 26 seasons with 2,194 victories, ranking him fourth all-time behind Connie Mack, John McGraw and Tony LaRussa.
But when Anderson looks in the mirror, he doesn't see baseball. Not anymore.
He sees a 72-year-old grandfather of 15.
He sees a gardener.
He sees a husband fortunate for the chance to assume some of the household chores his wife took care of all those years he was managing. So Anderson happily pushes the grocery cart at Albertson's, where he knows every checker by name.
And he sees a walker. Which is where the next part of this story begins.
Five days a week at precisely 5:45 a.m., Anderson slides into the front seat of his 10-year-old white Crown Victoria (aka "Tank") and drives a quarter-mile to a parking lot at California Lutheran University.
In the passenger seat on this day is Dan Ewald, the Tigers' former publicity manager and Anderson's close friend for nearly 30 years. Ewald, 61, is in Thousand Oaks visiting and helping Anderson around the house. This afternoon's job: clearing ivy from the fence line around back.
Funny. When Anderson retired from managing 11 years ago, his wife worried about him.
"I'm an 'A' person," Anderson explains, referring to his competitive and work-obsessed persona he needed in baseball. "She didn't think I could do this (retire). And when I did, it hadn't even been two weeks and she said, 'I've seen you change.'"
Anderson, head down, arms pumping, is on his second loop around Alumni Hall. Between 5:54 a.m. and 5:57 a.m., he says, he'll run into another walker, a woman named Shirley. And sure enough, here she comes walking toward them.
At a community garden in the lot behind a Lutheran church, Anderson points to flowers - yellow marigolds as bright as the sun. "These I plant and they'll stay all summer. Here's cantaloupe and cherry tomatoes. I cleaned them out yesterday. I want to go with the beef tomatoes next year."
Back on the sidewalk, Anderson and Ewald are a few minutes from meeting up with Mary Imsland, 70, and Elaine Eikemeyer, 73, retired schoolteachers who live in Thousand Oaks.
He noticed the two women walking past his kitchen window when he was recuperating from heart surgery. His street was on their route. When he was well enough, he began walking on his own and asked if he could join them.
They didn't know who Anderson was at first. He liked that.
Although Anderson was hospitalized two years ago with a rheumatoid-related illness, he proclaims himself in good health now after a recent physical. Blood pressure: 126/70. Cholesterol: 126. Weight: 143 - "same as I weighed in high school," he says.
He believes walking in the morning gives him energy for the rest of the day. Plus, Anderson just feels better.
"Baseball to me now was like a toy you play with," he says. "It was fun. That's all it is. Fun. But it's not life.
''The biggest thing that young people can only learn is, do the best you can at what you do, and then when you're through with it, don't try to live it again. I don't live baseball anymore."
The group heads toward another neighborhood. Anderson has been walking for about an hour now. He's asked about the 1984 Tigers, if he hears from his former players often.
''Not much," he says. ''Dan Petry - which I always look forward to - Danny always calls me at Christmas time. He's such a good kid. I will never leave the game as far as the friendships, and what the game has done for so many people."
Has he spoken lately to Jim Leyland, the Tigers manager?
''No, no, Jimmy and me, I would hope, are friends," Anderson says. "There are friends and there are personal friends, and it's totally different. But that doesn't mean a guy running a ball club wants - I call them green flies - he doesn't need green flies coming around. He has work to do."
Is it easier or harder to manage when things are going well?
''At times it can be harder for this reason," Anderson says, bringing up this year's Tigers. ''At this point right now, with the lead they have, just imagine if you lose it? That's the way I always looked at it.
"Like in '84, I told the coaches, 'Boys, I have news for you. If we don't win this, look at centerfield, on that flagpole. The flag won't be there, it will be me.' It's true. I don't care who you are. You don't take anything for granted when you're in it."
Anderson returns to Michigan a couple of times a year, mostly for his golf tournament for a children's charity and speaking engagements. But he hasn't been to Comerica Park, he said, since the year the stadium opened.
"It's been a while," he says. "But that's the way it should be."
Anderson still says "thank you" when he's asked for an autograph. Asked why, Anderson replies: "I'm from Bridgewater, S.D. Six hundred people lived in my town, and I'm the only person from there in the Hall of Fame. For that, I say, 'Thank you.'"
For breakfast, Anderson orders corned beef hash - "No eggs," he says - and raisin toast and fruit. He pours cream into his coffee. His right hand trembles slightly as he spreads grape jelly on a piece of toast.
"Somebody said to me, 'You don't hurry no more,'" Anderson says. "I said, 'I'll tell you why: I don't want to go there too quick."
Anderson nods toward the ground. You get the point.
"I asked Dan the other day, 'How does this all go on without us?' That's the one thing: You don't go on forever."

Obama praises and thanks religious communities for promoting justice in the United States by their contributions to the social movements of the past, and calls them to now act on healthcare reform. The President today, during a call-in-conference with religious leaders, acknowledged how religious communities have helped to establish Social Security, Medicare, and civil rights. During this time when so much fear-mongering about healthcare reform has been generated, Obama reminded us how men and women of faith have helped move forward social reform by providing hope instead of fear.
The call-in was sponsored by various religious organizations including Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, which is one of many in the religious-based coalition 40 Days for Health Reform, whose primary intent is to call upon individuals, regardless of their differences, to a higher purpose; to remind our political leaders that "health care for every family is a moral priority." They seek to encourage constructive debate over the issue of health care, right the injustices of the past around the its practice (or lack of), open a dialogue with the White House over reform, and move religious communities to act for reform. The call-in included contributions by Rev. Jim Wallis of Sojourners, a question and answer period with Melody Barnes, White House Director of Domestic Policies, and a statement by Pres. Obama. You can listen to the full call-in at BlogRadio.

Why couldn't Christie Brinkley have starred in a PG-rated movie?
Thursday, April 3, 2014
A friend's son really wants to see "Captain Phillips," last fall's thriller that stars Tom Hanks in the title role and depicts the real-life story of Somalian pirates who took over a cargo ship off the coast of Africa a few years ago.
Whether my friend's son gets to see the movie or not, he's a kid after my own heart. Growing up, I pestered my parents all the time to let me see movies not suitable for such a wee lad as I was at the time.
I begged my parents to let me see "Halloween." Of course they said no. I thought I found a loophole when an edited, TV-appropriate version of the movie aired on NBC in the early Eighties. Still no dice. I'd only see the movie during my freshman year of high school, when it played on Channel 56 out of Boston.
Eventually, I did get to see "Vacation," of course. To this day, and only partly for sentimental reasons, it's my favorite comedy. In fact, it gets funnier with each passing year, now that I'm a father who drags his family on whirlwind trips, all in the name of making memories.
"So what are you saying, Dad?" |

Why Linn Energy Is Not A Ponzi-Like Scheme [View article]
As I have argued in several posts on SA and elsewhere in recent months, the author is quite right in indicating that the arguments from the short sellers concerning Linn are deeply flawed. -

So, they're producing 650, hedging roughly 525 and using the difference for steam flooding.
I hope that helps. -
Mounting Evidence Suggests Linn Energy LLC Is In The Clear [View article]
First, the vast majority of Linn's production is hedged for 5 years in the future at prices much higher than that.
Second, the Berry acreage they're acquiring is in California where oil prices are tied to waterborne markets like Brent, not the WTI prices you reference. Brent is currently at over $105/bbl. -
Australia: What Recession? [View article]
But my colleagues David Dittman and Roger Conrad, recently pointed out to me that while China's share of Canadian trade has tripled since the mid-1990s, only 2 percent of Canadian exports went to China in 2007, while nearly 80 percent went to the US. Canada's foreign direct investment (FDI) in China is 0.3 percent of its total FDI, while China's FDI in Canada is just 0.1 percent of its total.
While Canada has more China exposure than these figures would suggest thanks to China's influence on commodity markets, Canada's biggest trading partner is her southern neighbor. Australia has a much bigger direct trade relationship with China and the rest of Asia. To me, that makes Australia a purer play.

Master Limited Partnerships for Your Portfolio: Three Key Questions and Answers [View article]
First, I do think IDRs incentive the GP to act in the best interest of the LP holders. The reason is that IDRs are based on the amount of money paid out to LP holders -- the split with the GP increases only when the payout to LP holders rises. In most cases, the GP will totally forfeit any IDR if a certain minimum distribution isn't met.
Second, while you are absolutely correct about the high split set at 50% for most MLPs and 25% for EPD, the calculation is a bit more complex than straight multiplication so the actual percentage take is not as high as that. Rather than bore readers with a lengthy comment, I'll try to post a blog in future with the exact calculation details. For now, suffice it to offer an example: Enterprise Products has a high split of 25% but in the first quarter of this year, the company paid a distribution of 53.75 cents to LP holders and just 9.22 cents per unit to the GP.
Third, there are some alternative partnership structures that do not have a GP/LP relationship. An example is Linn Energy (NSDQ: LINE), a limited liability company (llc). Linn is taxed similarly but has no IDR structure.
Fourth, it is extremely important to look at exactly who the GP is for a particular MLP and how capable they are of supporting the partnership in bad times. For example, last autumn Richard Kinder who controls Kinder Morgan's (NYSE: KMP) GP stated that he and the GP would step up with additional cash needed to fund expansion if credit markets remained constrained. And some MLP GPs are actually energy firms with assets they can "drop-down" to the MLP when times are troubled to shore up cash flows. On the other side of the coin are GPs controlled by private equity firms that may be overly reliant on debt.
Fifth, you can actually play the other side of the IDR coin if you wish -- there are a handful of publicly traded GPs that are taxed like MLPs. Enterprise GP Holdings (NYSE: EPE), GP for Enterprise Products Partners, is one example.

Near-Term And Intermediate-Term Outlook For U.S. Natural Gas Prices [View article]
The EIA changed the way it reports Louisiana gas production in 1997 (started breaking our production from the Gulf of Mexico). But, late 2011 Louisiana gas production was likely at least a two decade high, hardly a characteristic of a State with production in "terminal decline."
Since late 2011 Louisiana gas production has backed off to around 200,000 to 220,000 million cf per month. But, that's not really because producers can't increase production it's because they don't want to at current low gas prices -- the rig count in the State has dropped from a high of about 220 to a recent low of just over 100 (a two decade low).
The largest shale field in Louisiana is the Haynesville, which is a dry gas field meaning that it doesn't have much natural gas liquids (NGLs) content. That means that producers with major acreage in the Haynesville just aren't drilling there and are deciding to target liquids-rich plays like the EagleFord in southern Texas or the Marcellus instead.
If natural gas prices ever do rise over $5/MMBTU, I suspect you'd see drilling activity pick up again quickly in the Louisiana Haynesville and, given how prolific that play proved to be back in the 2008-2011 period natgas production would rise quickly to new highs.
At any rate, the idea that Lousiana or US natgas production are in a state of terminal decline is just plain incorrect and has no support in the data.
Near-Term And Intermediate-Term Outlook For U.S. Natural Gas Prices [View article]
Rather, I'm just saying that it will take a lot longer for gas prices to rise significantly again because the US faces a glut of gas. It will be years before a significant capacity of LNG export terminals will be constructed to move the needle on US gas. It will be even longer before the US makes a major switch to gas (or electricity for that matter) as a transport fuel. -
Why Energy Transfer Partners Is Cheap: It's Complicated [View article]
For one, we prefer to hold securities that offer no tax protections in a retirement account and keep our MLP positions in a taxable account to take full advantage of their tax-deferral characteristics.
Also, some of the net income that MLPs allocate to their unitholders is classified as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Each taxpayer has a $1,000 total annual allowance for UBTI paid into a 401(k) or IRA account; annual UBTI over this threshold could incur a tax liability. However, many MLPs generate negative or modest levels of UBTI, ensuring that you likely won't have to lose sleep over this issue.
If you exceed your annual UBTI exemption, you don't need to file any additional forms with the IRS; the custodian of your IRA or 401(k) is responsible for filing a Form 990 and paying the tax out of your account's funds. Most investors find that the above-average yields offered by MLPs more than compensate for any UBTI-related taxes.
Some investors avoid these problems altogether by purchasing a close-end or exchange-traded fund, neither of which produce UBTI. These investment products also disburse normal, qualified dividends to their shareholders and report these payments on a Form 1099, eliminating any vexation that might arise from dealing with the unfamiliar Form K-1.
However, these minor conveniences don't make up for the biggest problem with closed-end and exchange-traded funds: portfolios that skew heavily toward names with the largest capitalization. -

Linn Energy: Don't Believe The (Negative) Hype [View article]
In 2012, spot natural gas hit a low of under $2/MMBTU in mid-April. But, even with spot and front-month gas prices under $2/MMBTU at the lowest levels in more than a decade, futures expiring in 2015, 2016 and 2017 were trading at much higher prices.
Using April 19, 2012, an extreme low for spot gas prices, I see that NYMEX gas futures expiring in April 2015 were trading at $4.15, futures expiring in January 2017 more like $4.75/MMBTU. And this was the case if one had tried to hedge on the very day that natural gas prices hit extreme lows.
Those claiming that Linn is purchasing "in the money" put options fail to recognize that there is a big difference between the spot or prompt price of natural gas and the price of natural gas to be delivered 2, 3 or even 4 years in the future. A look at the five year average futures prices is a far better guide of what's in the money for a company looking to hedge production over a multi-year period.
So, let's take a closer look at these numbers. According to their 10-K covering the year ended 12/31/2011, Linn had puts covering total volumes of 30,660 due to expire in the year 2014. The average hedge price on those puts was $5.50. By the end of 2012, they had put hedges covering 79,628 MMMBTU due to mature in 2014. The average price on that entire position was $5/MMBTU.
So, just doing the maths suggests they hedged around 48,968 MMMBTU of 2014 gas production volumes over the course of 2012 at a price of roughly $4.69. This certainly doesn't suggest they're buying deep in the money puts to manufacture earnings; there were several occasions in 2012 when 2014 NYMEX futures prices were trading well above $4.50/MMBTU. -
Profiting From A Second Golden Age For Refiners [View article]
Moreover, the costs you mention such as transport, storage, labor etc aren't as relevant to an analysis of these companies. That's because these costs are smaller than the cost of feedstock, tend to remain relatively constant over time (certainly less volatile than oil prices) and would tend to be similar for refiners in a particular region of the country.
When I analyze a sector or a particular stock, I tend to try and identify which fundamental factors catalyze movement in those stocks over time. In this case, the crack spread is far more important than labor costs. -
GeoResources: One Of The Stronger North American Shale M&A Targets [View article]
I would also say, however, that investors need to look at more than just the total amount of debt a company has, also examining what type of debt they have and their maturity schedule. For example, a lot of companies got in trouble back in 2008 and early 2009 not because they had too much debt but because they had too much relatively short-term debt in the form of credit lines with banking groups. In some cases the interest rates on this debt was indexed to LIBOR, a huge problem when the interbank market ground to a complete halt and rates spiked to unprecedented levels. If you had a credit line to roll over in late 2008, you were probably in dire straits.
Other companies had issued long-term bonds during the strong credit market environment of 2004 to early 2007, locking in fixed, low rates and extending their maturities out 10 years or more.
One example of a company I follow that learned its lesson about shorter term debt during the crisis is Linn Energy $LINE. They have been issuing 10-year debt at really attractive ultra-low rates to fund acquisitions.

Overcapacity In The Oil Services Industry? What You Need To Know [View article]
The first of those technologies is self-explanatory. Fracturing involves pumping a liquid into the reservoir to literally crack the reservoir rock that contains the oil or gas. This aids the flow of oil and gas through the reservoir and into the well.
Not all of the US shale plays are the same. The Haynesville Shale in Louisiana is a "dry gas" play meaning that what's produced from wells in this field is primarily methane (natural gas). In contrast, the Bakken Shale of North Dakota is mainly an oil play as these wells produce crude oil mixed with a bit of natural gas and significant quantities of so-called natural gas liquids (ethane, propane and butane are the most common NGLs).
The Eagleford of South Texas produces mainly oil in the northern window, wet gas in the middle part (methane plus lots of NGLs) and mainly dry gas in the lower reaches of the field.
Crude oil prices are quite elevated right now with brent trading well over $100/bbl and West Texas Intermediate in the upper $90's per barrel. At those prices, as you might expect, producing oil from unconventional onshore fields is tremendously profitable so producers have been drilling like there's no tomorrow in fields lie the Bakken.
Meanwhile, natural gas prices are depressed and have been averaging in the $3.50 to $4.50 per million BTU range for some time. At those prices, it's not profitable to produce gas from many of the dry gas fields in the US. So, activity in places like the Haynesville Shale is moderating.
Meanwhile, a barrel of natural gas liquids (NGLs) tends to follow the trend in oil prices more so than the price of natural gas. So, NGLs prices have been robust this year. That means if you have a wet gas field--gas with NGLs--you can produce wells profitably because the value of the NGLS found in the raw gas stream is high.
I am often asked why producers keep drilling "gas" shale fields with gas prices so weak. NGLs are one of the major factors driving this seemingly paradoxical behavior.
My quote above is referring to the fact that if a service company is performing work in a region known for oil or NGLs production (ie the Bakken Shale or parts of the Eagleford) they're still raising prices to perform services. That's because activity is still strong in these plays.
In contrast, as activity in gassy plays slows down, services companies are losing their pricing power for services performed in regions like the Haynesville.
I hope that helps. -
On EPS and MLPs [View article]
To use your example, the effect would be the same as you replacing every part of your car gradually over time including the body itself.
Maintenance expenses from an MLP are designed to reflect normal replacement and upgrading of equipment surrounding the asset over time. It's likely that these pipelines will not be replaced if, by replacement, you mean totally dismantled, scrapped and rebuilt.
Adding back depreciation and then factoring in a maintenance expense that reflects the need for ongoing replacement and upgrading is the most relevant measure of an MLP's earnings power in my view. Of course, as I noted in the article, one has to account for the reasonableness of the maintenance expenses the particular MLP uses to calculate DCF.

The Real Price of Crude Oil [View article]
Your comment makes a completely valid point. Basically, at $20 or $40, much of the world's production isn't economic. As global oil demand returns in coming months, the important point to consider is really what is the marginal cost of oil? In other words, what does it cost to bring an incremental barrel into production to meet demand. Reserves like the oil sands and perhaps deepwater would represent marginal barrels -- if production is to actually increase, exploiting these marginal barrels needs to be profitable.
In its recent conference call Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) made some interesting comments in this regard. It seems that the company believes oil prices will need to be around $70 at year end if production firms are going to have enough confidence to increase their capital spending budgets. At $40 they'd slash CAPEX plans and global oil production would fall off quickly. And if oil prices look to be too volatile they may also be reluctant to boost CAPEX.
There is a very real risk that in 2010, the CAPEX cutbacks of late 2008, early 2009 will come home to roost in the form of falling production just as global demand re-accelerates. Then, you have the recipe for a real spike.

You can do whatever you want but the reason your LGS, that most likely supports 2a much more than the Waltons, charges more and cant keep up with demand is that walmart get first shipment and the best prices, and the rest are stuck with what's left. If walmart stopped selling ammo 9 years ago youd find better prices at the little guys store
So no one finds it odd that WalMart meets with Obama to discuss gun control, then quits selling ammo a couple of days later??

Called a good friend who is a manager at Walmart here just a minute ago. He told me that they cannot order more. The orders are immediately denied in the computer because there is no stock to order from at this time. The system was overloaded with stores constantly requesting more ammo so they cut it off completely for now. As far as he knows, ammo will come in as a distributed product not an ordered product. He says they have some items (traditionally ammo falls here) that the department must order as needed because they don't want to send too much of a product that sits and it's up to the department manager to keep track of what is needed. Other products are shipped regularly according to the inventory system. Items like Toys for example are shipped all the time (about twice a week) from the warehouse and you receive product according to what you are selling (every store is different).

Actually I think I'm back to undecided on BoA. I've done a lot of research on these claims and honestly, I'm not sold that BoA was doing anything out of the ordinary.
First off, on this second incident they didn't freeze accounts, they froze deposits. They did this because of the huge uptick this company had in deposits. They do have some responsibility to investigate and make sure that there is nothing "wrong" is going on. Fraud, like it or not, is a huge issue for the banking industry and they sometimes have to limit their liability by making sure transactions are legitimate. I'm not going to make any judgements on what someone said someone else said on the phone because that's just too unreliable, and since that someone probably doesn't dictate policy, it's potentially inaccurate as well.
I'm not saying they are, or are not, anti-2A. I'm just suggesting that I have yet to be convinced either way.
