Poker domain names unfrozen to allow refunds
WASHINGTON — US authorities said Wednesday they were unfreezing the domain names of two online poker companies targeted in a crackdown on Internet gambling so US players could withdraw their money.
The domain names of PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker, three of the largest online poker companies operating in the United States, were seized last week and 11 people, including the founders of the sites, were charged with bank fraud, money laundering, illegal gambling and other offenses.
The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York said Wednesday that the pokerstars.com and fulltiltpoker.com domain names were being restored to allow the sites to refund money deposited by US players.
"The government stands to enter the same agreement with Absolute Poker if it so chooses," the US Attorney's office said in a statement.
"This office expects the companies to return the money that US players entrusted to them, and we will work with the poker companies to facilitate the return of funds to players," the office said.
It said the two companies had agreed not to offer any gambling for "real money" to players located in the United States although they are free to offer online poker to players outside of the country.
While Internet gambling has been illegal in the United States since 2006, online poker remains a multi-billion-dollar industry with companies using a variety of ways to flout the law, including locating their operations offshore.
US law prohibits US financial institutions from knowingly accepting payments for online gambling made through credit cards, electronic funds transfers and checks.
The US ban on Internet gambling has been challenged as an unfair trade restriction at the World Trade Organization and some US lawmakers are seeking to have online gambling legalized.

Facebook Could Soon Rival Google in Social Search: Survey
Facebook Could Soon Rival Google in Social Search: Survey
Nathan Eddy
Posted 2012-09-16
A move by Facebook into Google's social search space could prove beneficial to the social networking giant, a survey finds.
With Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg under pressure to reassure disappointed investors in the wake of a disastrous initial public offering earlier this year, there may be silver lining for the social networking behemoth. Facebook might find future revenue driven by a social search engine, according to a survey from digital marketing agency Greenlight. The survey of 500 people across a range of professions indicated that Facebook could potentially capture close to a quarter of the search market were it to launch its own search engine tomorrow. The study also suggested Facebook could increase its share to 50 percent within just a few years, and could become the second most used search engine in every major market except for China, Japan and Russia, where it would occupy an "uncontested" third place.
However, the report also noted that although search engine leader Google's social network, Google+, lags far behind Facebook in overall users, Google+ has been more successful than most may have initially speculated when it comes to social searching.
For instance, 23 percent of Google users have been "+1'ing" listings in Google's search results, giving Google lots of data about what people like. "When compared to the 35 percent of users that Greenlight's survey found routinely 'like' a brand or company on Facebook, then it is not that significantly more than Google's social signal collection, particularly as 28 percent of respondents said they had no idea what '+1' actually meant, which will invariably decrease rapidly over time," Andreas Pouros, chief operating officer at Greenlight, said in a prepared statement. "Essentially, Greenlight's research shows that Google and Facebook will both be front and center in 'Social Search.'" The survey also asked Facebook users how often they click on ads present on the site, revealing an alarming 44 percent that said "never." However, 5 percent of respondents said they would "definitely" use a future Facebook search engine if the firm were to launch one to rival Google's. Those responding "no" and "probably not," totaled 48 percent, while 26 percent said they simply would not use a future Facebook search engine. "These stats therefore suggest Facebook could capture around 22 percent of the global search market by simply launching its own search engine tomorrow morning (the 'definitely', 'probably' and half the 'don't know' respondents combined)," Pouros said. "It wouldn't need to be a spectacular engine either, just well integrated into the Facebook experience and generally competent." Pouros also noted the survey results suggest Facebook could increase that projected market share to a maximum of 50 percent within a few years by converting the least overtly loyal Google users over to them. "However, that increase would need to come from the 27 percent of respondents who replied 'maybe, but only if it was better than Google and Bing,'" he said.

Bathing Lakes in Lower Austria
Lower Austria
Lower Austria on the mapLunzer See
Quiet forests surround the romantic Lunzer See, which is the largest lake in Lower Austria. Daredevils can take up the challenge of the diving tower in the swimming area, while those who have a somewhat more leisurely day in mind can stroll around the entire lake on foot, or circle it in a rented boat. Right next to the beach you will find a shell-shaped stage where the Wellenklänge festival is held every year. And all year round there is a wonderful lakeside restaurant with a terrace and view out over the lake.Further information on Lunz: www.lunz.at (German only)

The Herrensee is one of the largest lakes in the Waldviertel. In Litschau you will find a swimming area, playgrounds, outdoor pool, beach volleyball, boat rentals and a restaurant. And once a year the Herrensee plays host to the Schrammel.Klang.Festival.Further information: www.waldviertel.at

The patient who was pushed, Eufemia Van Rysseghem, had walked into another resident's room and refused to leave. But Bruce says the aide purposely and roughly shoved the 77-year-old woman in the chest. "They were like little kids playing a game trying to shove each other out of the door, but this is a full-grown nurse's aide doing this to an Alzheimer's patient."
The February 11 incident was not the first time Bruce had lodged a complaint against the Spring Branch-area facility. And it would not be the last call made to HPD on Van Rysseghem's behalf. Since then, George Salazar, who says he is Van Rysseghem's common-law husband, has contacted police on five other occasions. He has called officers from nearly every facility she has been housed at since authorities separated them last summer.
Van Rysseghem lived with Salazar for five years. Last June management at their northeast Houston apartment complex contacted Adult Protective Services, alleging that Salazar had verbally and physically abused Van Rysseghem. An ambulance whisked Van Rysseghem away to Ben Taub Hospital, where doctors determined the Alzheimer's patient had dementia and could no longer care for herself.
Then the Harris County probate court system, established to guard the interests of incapacitated residents, stepped in.
A probate judge appointed a temporary guardian to protect her. Since July that guardian has moved Van Rysseghem from a series of hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities. But as a ward of the probate system's security net, her health has declined, her personal belongings have been stolen, and her meager life savings has been emptied.
Three different attorneys have been designated to watch over her. Combined with another attorney, whose court-approved fees included charges for checking her own law office's messages, the lawyers took the majority of Van Rysseghem's savings in fees. And the guardianship that was supposed to save her from Salazar's alleged mistreatment has put her in a nursing home with an egregious record of neglect and abuse.
Esabelle Molina-Morris, an investigator for Adult Protective Services, met Van Rysseghem in June when she checked on an apartment manager's complaint that the elderly woman often wandered the apartment complex grounds, crying.
In a letter to probate court, Molina-Morris recounted an incident in which strangers returned Van Rysseghem to the complex after they found her roaming near the Eastex Freeway at Tidwell. Salazar says they were in his truck when she simply opened the door and walked away. When he made a U-turn to retrieve her, she had disappeared, he says.
In mid-June, Molina-Morris responded to another call and took Van Rysseghem to a personal care home, which Van Rysseghem tried to leave. In a few days doctors transferred her to Ben Taub. Salazar checked her out of the hospital before doctors could evaluate her.
Then the couple were evicted from their apartment and fell from APS's radar for two weeks. On July 1 they had dinner at a taqueria with Salazar's relatives, but Van Rysseghem refused to leave after the meal. Frustrated, Salazar called the police for help getting her into his truck. Instead, an ambulance took her to Ben Taub. The hospital barred Salazar from seeing her because he was under investigation by APS.
Salazar considered the situation legalized kidnapping. He called TV stations, the FBI and Congressman Gene Green. He even picketed the hospital for a few days in November with homemade signs. In his zeal to call attention to his wife, he became a nuisance.
"It's a concentration camp," he says of Ben Taub. "We haven't been cited. We didn't violate laws. We are victims of circumstances. We don't have no civil rights."
A court investigator visited Ben Taub and decided that Van Rysseghem needed a guardian. Salazar applied, but on September 30 Probate Judge Mike Wood appointed attorney Ann Ellis as temporary guardian. He also ordered Salazar not to visit Van Rysseghem without supervision.

Custom fonts, best practise?
Dietmar Hartje
Hi everyone, there are so many possibilities to add custom fonts to a website without loosing the text itself inside the source-code. I recently used the font-face method and found it was okay but I always stumble upon this second method called cufon. What's your opinion? Should I stick to the font-face method or head over to the cufon method? Thanx in advance!

More, from a press release issued by Interwetten Honda:
First outing for Schrötter in Motegi apologetic
The first of three Grand Prix in three weeks started today at the Twin Ring in Motegi / Japan for Marcel Schrötter and the Interwetten Honda 125 Team. Schrötter, who is riding for the first time in Japan, didn't have a bad pace and was just over 1.5 seconds behind the leading group. He was able to stick with them at the beginning, but in the second half of the practice he suffered some technical problems while changing gears and the 17 year old went back to 27th position.
Marcel Schrötter, 27 2'04.564:
"It was not bad at the beginning. I was able to improve. At the end I had problems while changing gears and it didn't work properly anymore. Then I went wide and ended in the dirt, which cost me some time. I tried to find my rhythm alone, away from the group, as this always is better. I think the track is quite difficult, but I also believe that there is more to come for tomorrow."
Terrell Thien, Team Manager:
"If there would not have been the technical problems Marcel could have finished around 13th or 15th place. His time was not bad at the beginning and I thought it would stay like that. But then these problems with changing gears appeared and he lost connection. Marcel showed that we can expect more from him though."

Next up is a new top-of-the-range addition to the entry-level FE range. The FE-250 boasts an 8MP sensor, 3x zoom and slim metal casing. It's also the first FE model to feature the company's 'Bright Capture' technology (nice name for an old idea; pixel binning to increase ISO). What makes the FE-250 stand out for us though, is that it scales new heights in sensitivity, offering an ISO 10,000 (yes, that's ten thousand) option (at 3MP). Now we may be jumping the gun here, but we suspect there may be some sacrifice in quality involved. Either that or Olympus has - in a £200 compact - re-written the laws of physics.

Shoot the clearest pictures
The 8.0 Megapixel Olympus FE-250
London, 25 January 2007 – The Olympus FE-250 boasts an impressive 8.0 Megapixel CCD, bringing high resolution to entry-level photography. And, thanks to the slim metal body measuring just 16.7mm, users can carry this picture taking power with them at all times. For viewing and framing comfort, the FE-250 features a large 6.4cm LCD. It's now even possible to take great photos in low-light conditions: The FE-250 is the first in its series to incorporate Olympus' own BrightCapture Technology. And naturally, as with all cameras in the FE range, it is incredibly easy to use
With an 8.0 Megapixel CCD, the FE-250 produces crystal-clear pictures and delivers the power to print large, high-resolution photos. The 3x zoom lens gives photographers all the range they need to capture a wide variety of subjects from landscapes to portraits and close ups. Yet despite featuring a whopping 6.4cm LCD screen with 230,000 pixels, this stylish, metal-bodied camera is still small enough to be easily taken anywhere.
With its "one button, one function" design principle the FE-250 is remarkably easy to operate. Choices of 15 scene modes guarantee great results in many often experienced situations. This camera also features eight shooting programmes and a convenient mode dial makes choosing between them simplicity itself. Programmes include Movie recording with sound as well as Image Stabilisation, which employs BrightCapture Technology to avoid blurred photos by boosting the ISO value to 10,000*. By selecting modes such as Candle or Indoor, the special mood and atmosphere of night-time settings can by faithfully captured as the need to use the flash is also significantly reduced.
In addition to its internal memory, the camera features a memory card slot that accepts tiny xD-Picture Cards – available in up to 2GB capacity. The Olympus Master software included with the FE-250 rounds out this package, giving a fun way to edit, view and archive photos on a computer. The Olympus FE-250 will be available from camera shops in February 2007, with an estimated High Street price of £200.00.
The Olympus FE-250 – main features:
- 8.0 Megapixel CCD in a stylish metal body
- 3x optical zoom (equiv. to 35-105mm on a 35mm model), 1:2.8-4.7
- 6.4cm/2.5" LCD (with 230,000 pixels)
- BrightCapture Technology
- High ISO setting mode (up to ISO 3200 with full 8.0 Megapixels)
- ISO 6400 and 10,000 in 3MP mode
- "One button, one function" design principle
- Super Macro mode from 10cm
- TruePic TURBO
- 15 scene modes (e.g. Candle, Indoor or Sport)
- Internal memory plus xD-Picture Card slot
- Movie recording with sound up to card capacity
- Supplied with Olympus Master software + LI-42B lithium ion battery
- Multi-language menu with 25 languages

Going to war with Iraq wasn't wrong. The way George Bush is handling the war is wrong.
When we go to war, an army as large as the army that does the fighting comes in behind it to restore utilities, provide medical care and get life back as close to how it was before the war. This did not happen in Iraq. People are still living in sewage, which they weren't before we invaded. This is not how to make allies of the people.
Now the idea is to leave. We made a mess, and now we are going to leave the people in the civil war we created. We should restore what's been destroyed and the civil war will probably end.

I think getting into a video game has a lot to do with controlling the character and know what's going on. There's a HUUUUUGE gap between what someone who has been playing a game for 10 years knows, and what someone that's never played a game before knows. I mean, to the seasoned gamer, a health pack is a standard thing, but a non-gamer doesn't know what the heck that is. Same with bashing crates, etc etc. There's all of these standard gaming conventions that modern games rely on that gamers take for granted, but are completely nonsensical to non-gamers.
I actually talked about about this concept of non-gamers here. This is one of the reasons why the Wii is so successful is because it doesn't rely on traditional gaming conventions, which opens up the experience to everyone, not someone that grew up with the Playstation (or the Nintendo like me). If you combine the strategies I talked about in rethinking game difficulty, with making games more mature I think you'd have something really special, and if you made your game scary, it would be truly terrifying and reach that keep-you-up-at-night level.

My Pacific Rim bento wasn't bad — for a pre-arranged, chilled lunch box. It contained a chewy, nutty mix of black forbidden rice and red Bhutanese rice, which I loved. Chicken breast braised in soy ginger broth, served with crunchy strips of fennel and some Roma tomato, had a pleasant tanginess, while plump grilled shrimp, teamed with sweet peas and sunflower sprouts, were drizzled with miso dressing. If those had been prepared to order, they would've been delicious, but served cold, they were just passable. Figs and oranges tossed in ginger and sweet sake provided a fruity finish.
When I imagine the quintessential spa cafe, the cafe at The Golden Door Spa, at The Boulders, is pretty much it — there's a kind of Southwest New Agey vibe, laid-back service, gorgeous desert scenery just beyond the patio (the resort's namesake boulders are right there), and a healthful menu of salads, soups, and entrees in which the calories, fat, proteins, and carbs are listed right alongside the prices. Interestingly, though, they don't give those details for their smoothies or juice cocktails.
Until I looked at the options here, I had no idea that the spa had its own cookbook, The Golden Door Spa Cooks Light & Easy. So instead of splurging on the pan-seared Hawaiian sea bass with sun-dried tomato quinoa, I decided to try a couple of signature dishes plucked from the cookbook.

Golden Door gazpacho was a substantial rendition of this classic summery soup, although the portion was petite. Sweet, cool yellow tomato gazpacho was laden with diced red and yellow pepper, cucumber, corn, and red onion, with fresh cilantro and toasted almond slivers on top. It tasted as sunny as an Arizona afternoon.
Another signature dish, soba noodle salad, was just as refreshing, a heap of thin buckwheat noodles in a lip-smacking lime-miso dressing, jumbled with crunchy Napa cabbage, tender mixed greens, sprouts, Julienned carrots, scallions, and black sesame seeds. A "salad enhancement" of plump grilled shrimp complemented the Asian flavors.
It was light, flavorful, energizing food. And it beat the heck out of eating apples all day.

This WAC image features a series of three smaller craters to the left of a larger crater. The southernmost of the three features a sharp rim, which suggests it is the youngest of the group. The interior of this crater has a somewhat unusual rounded "bubble-like" mass of slump material around its interior circumference, whereas the two other craters and the large crater at the right edge have flat floors, having been filled in with smooth material. The large crater has a small remaining central peak that rises above the surroundings.

Characteristics of Optical Duobinary Signals in Terabit/s Capacity, High-Spectral Efficiency WDM Systems
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 16, Issue 5, pp. 788- (1998)
Acrobat PDF (251 KB)
Optical duobinary signals have been applied to dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems with high-spectral efficiency to fully utilize a limited gain bandwidth of about 35 nm (4.4 THz) for an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). These signals are one type of partial response signals and have narrower bandwidth than conventional intensity modulation (IM) signals. Thus, the use of these signals should make possible to attain ultradense WDM systems. In this paper, characteristics of optical duobinary and IM signals in ultradense WDM systems are compared through experimental evaluations at 20 Gb/s. The measured minimum channel spacing for 20 Gb/s optical duobinary and IM signals were 32 and 45 GHz, respectively. The performance limitations for both signals were clarified by numerical simulations considering a coherent crosstalk. The calculated results agree well with experimental results and indicate that optical duobinary signals allow us to set narrower channel spacing than that for IM signals optimized both transmitter bandwidth and {\alpha}-parameter. Dispersion tolerances were also evaluated. The high and symmetrical dispersion tolerance of 600 ps/nm observed in experimental results for the optical duobinary signals is twice the tolerance of IM signals. The optical duobinary signals can achieve superior characteristics for both coherent crosstalk suppression and dispersion tolerance simultaneously. To the contrary, there is a tradeoff involved in both characteristics of the IM signals and the potential applications of these signals are more limited than those for optical duobinary signals. By using optical duobinary signals which have compact spectrum and high dispersion tolerance, a 2.64 Tb/s (20 Gb/s132-channel) signal has been successfully transmitted over 120 km standard fiber with only common dispersion compensation fiber at the receiver. High-spectral efficiency of 0.6 b/s/Hz was reached in this demonstration.

Authorities say a woman wanted in Louisiana on charges of promoting child sex trafficking has been arrested in Texas.
A news release from the Louisiana State Police says Darneesha Lashay Martin was arrested in Houston on Saturday at about 2 a.m.
Martin was being held in a Houston jail awaiting extradition to the Lafayette Parish, La., Correctional Center.
It wasn't immediately clear if she had a lawyer. The news releases says Martin was wanted as part of an investigation called "Operation Carpe Diem," which led to arrests ranging from drug trafficking and human trafficking to child pornography.

Host an International Career Day by inviting speakers—alumni and/or local international leaders or experts from business and industry.
Organize a symposium on campus or in your community on an "international" theme. Some ideas include:
International exchange and study abroad opportunities at your college
Reconnecting with your ancestors through study abroad
The importance of globalization in today's workforce
The importance of foreign language study (and opportunities at your college)
International education as a key to homeland security
The importance of internationalization to local communities
The global classroom: internet exchange and distance learning
Intercultural communication: talking to each other
Recruit local citizens with overseas experience (Fulbright students, scholars and teachers, former diplomats, Peace Corps volunteers, business leaders, or journalists) to discuss their international careers and the importance of international education and exchange. This can be as formal as a panel presentation or speech or as informal as a coffee hour or brown bag lunch.
Produce and/or screen a video about the experiences of international students on your campus and/or students back from a semester or year abroad. Organize a screening of
The Dialogue
, a documentary about the adventures and cultural discoveries of four American students and four Chinese students as they travel together through Hong Kong and Southwest China.
Organize a festival spotlighting a particular country or region. In addition to films, live performances, or art exhibits, interactive elements such as teaching students how to cook food of a particular country, learn a traditional dance, or the basics of a foreign language.

149 Bataleon Fun. Kink ???
Hey guys, the only Bataleon board I can find for less than 430$ is the 2009 Bataleon Fun.Kink and its a 149. This is a great deal and I would love to get it but I have a few doubts/questions.
1.) I'm 6'0, 135-140lbs. I like flatland tricks, small/med kickers, playing with natural features, BUT I also really like to carve fast/ride fast down blacks and race my friends. With all that in mind, is the 149 Fun.Kink to small for me?? 2.) I know the Fun.Kink is slightly setback twin, since I don't get to ride in to much pow and I do like to ride switch is this board going to be a bad choice? Or is it possible to make this a true twin by just setting the bindings up .5 cms or 1 cm whatever the setback is? Thanks a bunch fellas. |

Hrmmm, pretty short indeed...
My girl is 5'10 and about your weight and she rides a 157 Fun Kink. She could step down some but I dunno about a 149..... It's a really soft board as well, but you don't weigh much so it may handle you on jumps. Overall though man, I'm pretty positive this board is to short/soft for your speed dreams. What size feet do you have? Can you even fit on a 149 without your feet hanging way over? |

haha damnit... Thats basically what I knew, just didn't want to face facts because I'm going to get a Bataleon board regardless after reading everything about TBT I was just hoping I could rock the 300$ one as opposed to 450$ but looks like Im going to have to get the 450.
Sill can't decide between the Evil Twin or the Fun Kink as well on what size I should get based on my style of riding that I stated above, what do you think?^ Thanks for being honest though I appreciate it, guess I won't be getting the 09 149 unless someone convinces me otherwise. |

I'm gonna guess you would be better off with the ET
The Fun Kink is a pretty soft board.... I know your pretty light, but it's geared pretty heard towards riding rails imo. I think the ET would suit you better if your into bombing and such. I would recommend a 155 or 159. Depending on what you like to do more whether its park stuff or bigger all mountain stuff, I would base your length decision on that. |

yeah I think based on that Ill go 155 but after looking over the other boards would the Goliath actually better suit me over the Evil Twin? I really want something I can bomb/carve and hit some good kickers but at the sametime do some pretty over the top groundtricks like prolonged wheelies, 360 butters, and whatever that thing is where you stay on the nose and tail while 180ing back and forth down the slope. Which do you think fits that the best?
I'm sorry for the questions, just want to make sure I make the right decision since I'm about to drop close to 700 dollars on a new board and bindings. Thanks so much for all the help |

Hey Backside7s, you should consider buying this brand-new 09 Bataleon Goliath 157 from johncp for $350 shipped:
http://www.snowboardingforum.com/buy...ale-trade.html The Goliath and Evil Twin are very similar boards, main differences being: the Goliath's even 5 flex/stiffness versus the ET's 6-4-6 (tip-middle-tip) flex/stiffness, the directional twin Goliath's very minimal 10 mm setback versus the true twin ET's centered stance, and the base materials. |

text: first of all, yes, ms4 just pales in the huge shadow of ms3, i agree. second, ms4 uses just too much recycled backrounds. the games, of course, used recycled sprites too (soldiers, in every game), but still, ms4 is just super-rehashing even of ms1 backdrops. third, not much actually new stuff. enemy slugs suck balls, they dont have invulnerability time after they are hit, and that metallish system, etc, alot of small engine changes which one person pointed out perfectly - the motto of ms4 was something like "fuck these crabs and all that non-human shit, let's get back to good ol' ms1 type war!" but since they used ms3 engine, where soldiers before falling can "hog up" player's bullets (instead of ms1 where once soldier is dead, bullets fly thru the sprite) and that is the main problem, because - another bad thing - the screen "stops" for too many times! and tons of enemies constantly respawning... earlier games didn't abuse all that stuff i mentioned. plus, the music, while everybody like it, is different, the ms music was always something really cool, funny, sort of mix of orchestra and rock/metal, it even had distorted bass! ms4 has very different one, which is good, no question, but lacks "ms spirit".and the most important thing - the game just feels "RUSHED". alot of things were left out. not much in MS4, but shitloads of cool stuff was cut out of MS5. ms5 was much better effort, though it also just SCREAMS "RUSHED!".my opinion is - if they could sorta combine MS4+MS5 into one game, that would be something MUCH better. but instead we have two half-assed rushed titles. too bad.

Today in Miami Lamborghini unveiled the drop-top version of its landmark Aventador LP700-4 — arguably the best V12 vehicle on the road today, and the funnest V12 we've ever driven. The Roadster version of the Coupe was inevitable, but Lambo is surprising enthusiasts with a few twists. First off, the two-piece hard top is made completely […]

If your heart's not pitter-pattering at the thought of seeing the first footage of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in real life action, then me and you are very different people. Lambo fulfilled an amazing feat with its latest supercar, advancing the signature lines of its halo vehicle while evolving it into its own proper, singular […]

As the Geneva Motor Show approaches, the unveilings for much-anticipated supercars only increase.

This is one of the few times in the past several years we can say that ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) is one of the worst performing stocks in the world of oil. Even comparing it to its peers in the integrated space, Exxon has the nefarious title of being the weakest stock in terms of total return.
Of course, results like this just don't happen in a vacuum. There are plenty of reasons why investors should shy away from Exxon, but there is one reason why investors may want to reconsider. Let's take a look at the one asset Exxon has that could completely turn things around.
The Final Frontier
There is one place in the world where oil exploration has yet to take foothold: the Arctic -- and for good reason. The combination of an extremely harsh environment, drilling depths not yet achieved, and non-existent infrastructure has left much of the Arctic region relatively untouched. Let's also not forget about the risk of an oil spill in this region. The risk of an oil spill in the Arctic is so great, even major oil companies like Total (NYSE: TOT ) have come out publicly and said they will not drill for oil in the Arctic because of the potential costs associated with a spill there -- but Total does have big plans for natural gas there.
Today, though, many challenges are less of a hurdle than they once were. Receding Arctic ice levels has granted access to previously unreachable regions as well as lengthening the drilling season. Also, we are seeing unprecedented advancements in offshore drilling. This past quarter, Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI ) drilled the deepest well in the history of the Gulf of Mexico at a depth of more than 36,000 feet, more than the height of Mount Everest! Slowly but surely, the opportunity for drilling in the Arctic is becoming more and more a possibility.
The reason that so many are tempted by what seems to be an unattainable region is the vast quantities of oil and gas there. A study conducted by the US Geological Survey back in 2008 estimated that the Arctic still had approximately 412 billion barrels of oil equivalent yet to be discovered, more than four times the total proved reserves the United States has today. Access to these massive resources in an economical manner would completely change the energy outlook for the entire world.
Get it right
Oil companies looking at drilling in the Arctic are acting like skinny dippers on a frozen lake. Once their feet hit the water, they pull back. ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) has suspended its Alaskan drilling plans for the time being, and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A ) has put its exploration program on hold after it spent $5 billion in the Chukchi only to get a grounded rig out of it.
One thing is certain, these companies want to make sure that they are doing this the right way, and this is where Exxon has a clear advantage over the rest. Through a joint venture with Russian oil giant Rosneft, Exxon has access to over 300 million acres off the Russian coasts in exchange for a 25% stake in Exxon's Point Thompson project in Alaska. This puts Exxon way ahead of the rest in terms of developable acreage. Combined, the US and Russia hold more than 70% of the potential oil and gas in the Arctic, and partnering with Rosneft will also provide a well-financed partner to help bear the brunt of the massive capital expenditures that will be required to make this a reality. The ability to raise capital will be a huge aspect of any development for this region because estimates put developing these fields at around $500 billion.
If Exxon and Rosneft can successfully monetize these assets, it could be a monumental amount of oil and gas for both companies that could secure their financial futures for several years.
What a Fool Believes
There is one corollary to this for investors. This is an extremely long time horizon that could take several years before realizing any sort of gain from it. Therefore, unless you plan on buying Exxon with an extremely long-term focus, then this project will probably not be on your radar. There are other key drivers that should keep the Exxon engine running for the foreseeable future, but the Arctic will play a larger and larger part of Exxon's future as we start to develop more effective methods to exploit these resources.
The quiet company making these projects possible
These new exploration projects in the Arctic, like almost every offshore project today, are getting more complex and more expensive by the day. So offshore specialists like Exxon and Total need to make sure they are absolutely sure they are getting it right, and there is one behind-the-scenes energy company that is poised to profit in a big way from this need for certainty. The outlook for this under-the-radar stock is so great. Our chief investment officer has selected it as his No. 1 stock for this year.

Hot answers tagged perpetual-virginity
The Bible does emphatically state that Jesus was without sin.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are,
yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 ESV
Since Jesus was never reported to have been married in the Bible, a sexual relationship would have been a sin. ...
One of the defining tenets of Protestant Christianity is sola scriptura--that the Scriptures are the fundamental basis for all doctrine. This is in contrast to extra-biblical teachings. The idea is that if it were important enough for us to know, God would have told us in the Scriptures themselves and not have us rely on extra-biblical teachings. ...
The importance of the perpetual virginity of Mary lies in the scriptural parallelism between Mary and the Ark of Covenant.
The Ark:
Journeys to a town in the hills of Judah (II Samuel 6:2)
It is greeted with awe "How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?"
(II Samuel 6:9 KJV)
It remains at the house of Obed-Edom for three months (II Samuel 6:11)
There is no clear biblical evidence for the non-Virginity of Mary.
The Bible never says he had full blooded brothers and sisters. I don't want to delve into translations which I don't understand (Aramaic words for niece, cousin, nephew, etc...), but it is clear that Jesus does however call many people his brothers, and exhorts us all to call others our ...
The doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary is tradition (mostly Roman Catholic), but actually not in Scripture at all. (I'm not taking a stand on that doctrine for purposes of this question, just pointing out that even Roman Catholics would not, I believe make the case from Scripture.) It mentions that at the time Jesus was conceived by the Holy ...
If this were an important doctrine, it seems there would be fairly clear reference to it in the Scriptures. However, the Bible is incredibly silent on it and even seems to indicate that Joseph had no union with here until Jesus was born.
Irrelevant. There are many things all Christians believe that are not directly spelled out in the bible, such as the ...
One answer that has been suggested is the Infancy Gospel of James (AKA The Protoevangelium of James). This document dates to roughly the middle of the second century and focuses largely on the person of Mary from her birth to the birth of Jesus. As the central character, Mary's honor and purity are defended in great detail. Mary's virginity is repeatedly ...
The Catholic "tradition" is just that. It is not an official teaching or doctrine, but rather something one is free to believe. The Church does not take a physiological stance on whether or not Mary experienced pain during child birth. But to understand where this tradition came from, we have to go back to the Garden of Eden.
When Adam and Eve sinned, God ...
Luke records Mary's faith on the occasion of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-56). Gabriel informs her (v35) that "the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God", and she replies (v38) "let it be done to me according to your word". When Elizabeth addresses her as "the mother of my Lord" (v43), Mary proclaims with the Magnificat (vv46-55), ...
The first part of The Gospel of James, an apocryphal Gospel "contains the story of the unique birth of Mary to Anna and her childhood and dedication to the temple". Similarly The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew confirms "Mary entering service as a temple virgin".
David Hughes gives a fascinating historical background on this subject where he says:
Mary "the ...
John 21:25:
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
If "the whole world" would not have space for all the things He did do, it is unlikely to have space for all the things he didn't.
I've found some very interesting quotes of Martin Luther:
Christ, our Savior, was the real and natural fruit of Mary's virginal womb . . . This was without the cooperation of a man, and she remained a virgin after that.
Luther's Works, eds. Jaroslav Pelikan (vols. 1-30) & Helmut T. Lehmann (vols. 31-55), St. Louis: Concordia Pub. House (vols. 1-30); ...
Calvin's commentary on Matthew 1:25 deserves to be quoted in full (hat-tip to gmoothart):
25. And knew her not This passage afforded the pretext for great disturbances, which were introduced into the Church, at a former period, by Helvidius. The inference he drew from it was, that Mary remained a virgin no longer than till her first birth, and that ...
For many the miracle of the Virgin Birth is one thing, but lifelong abstinence from sexuality is impossible to accept. The lives of monastics and ascetics around the world and throughout history attest to the fact that it is possible. Sexual purity is only one of many challenges set for these spiritual warriors, and for many, perhaps most of them, it is not ...
Did the Herodian Temple have virgins?
The answer is almost certainly no.
The only real support for Jewish temple virgins is found in Roman Catholic writings in support of the Catholic doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary. This doctrine has no basis in the canonical scriptures, but only in non-canonical early writings, most of which were ...
Even before Augustine, St. Ambrose of Milan and St. Jerome used this verse in support of the dogma of the Perpetual virginity of Mary. Probably St. Augustine learned from his teacher St. Ambrose of Milan.
Some quite emphatically understand this closed gate through which only the Lord God of Israel passes … as the Virgin Mary, who remains a Virgin before ...
Maybe this isn't an answer, but I'd say: Why do you ask Protestants for the origin of a Catholic doctrine? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask Catholics where they got this idea?
Personally I don't know if historical documents survive that would give an objective answer to the question. If anyone out there knows, I think that would be interesting.
Any ...
I think you hit the nail on the head with your mention of the brother's and sisters of Christ mentioned in Mark. All scripture says that Christ would be born of a virgin, it says nothing about her having to stay a virgin forever. On top of that there is this scripture in Matt:
Matt 1: 24-25
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angle of ...
If you are interested in what some of the early Church Fathers wrote on this you can look at
But, the significance is that Mary had trusted in God when she was young, and told that a miracle had happened. So, she serves as an example of devotion, obedience and purity to Catholics. So, her special place in ...
14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
(Acts 1:14)
Mary's closeness to Jesus' disciples in the scripture gives evidence that she was one of Jesus' followers - especially this verse in Acts.
I am not a Catholic so I guess I cannot give you the best answer, but here's my answer from an Eastern Orthodox viewpoint, which might be quite different from the Catholic one (or not?):
The ultimate purpose of marriage is actually the salvation of the bride and groom together. Bearing children is not a purpose in itself, but a consequence. Having children ...
It is in prophecy of Isiah regarding the birth of the Messiah.
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child" (Isa 66:7)
Mary, by her own free will, took a vow of virginity, and she understood that this meant that she was never supposed to have marital relations. Joseph knew when he was informed of Mary's vow. Both came to understand that marriage was their vocation, and became betrothed.
This knowledge has come down through tradition and Scripture. The following point is ...

In Vang Vieng, Want One Last Beach, Which One?

My fiance and I have been traveling in the region the past 3 months and have 8 days left. We are in Vang Vieng, Laos, but we want to leave tomorrow morning, take the bus to Vientiane, have lunch, cross the border, then take the night train to Bangkok.
From Bangkok we want to get to a beach as quickly (no flying, out of money) and hassle free as possible and spend a few days at the beach. We are probably looking for 300 baht or less accomodations. With this info in mind, where should we go? Ko Chang? Ko Samet? One of the smaller islands? Thanks! Ian#1 Posted: 5/12/2010 - 10:12

Everything looks doable until I get to the 300 baht limit. It's officially "high season" now and today being the King's Birthday a lot of Thai folks are hitting the holiday spots within a few hours of the capitol city. Tomorrow is a holiday too but some of them will go home Tuesday. Just that most beach bungalow operators will probably keep their prices up through the holiday season now. Samet has arguably the best beaches near Bangkok (3hr bus then 45 min ferry) but it's increasingly hard to find anything under around 600-800 although Ao Hin Kok and adjacent Ao Phai would have the best chance of cheaper huts. Or try Ko Chang down on Long Beach at The Treehouse, or at Bang Bao see Cliff Cottage.

I agree with Captain Bob that Samet is a good choice because of the best beaches near Bangkok and because it is relatively cheap and easy to get there. I haven't been to Samet in a few years, but in my many trips to Samet before then, there were always a stray rooms in the little port town of Nadan which rented out at a substantial discount to the rooms along the beach. You might be able to find something in that 300 baht price range you seek.
No matter which season, it is definitely best to arrive on Ko Samet midweek, as the place fills up on weekends and room prices rise accordingly.
If it isn't too late already, and if you are up for a different kind of beach and hammock experience, once you are in Nong Khai you could head upriver along the Mekong about 100 km to Sangkhom and spend a few days or more at Bouy Guesthouse. It is a small little collection of huts on a bluff overlooking the river. The huts all have hammocks and river views and doubles rent for the under 300 baht range you seek. The river has a wide section of sandy beach and is okay for swimming too, and the small town is charming, affordable, and about as laid back as it gets.
I'd call or write ahead if possible to check availability. You can reach the nice folks who run Bouy at 42 441065 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. (Thats an underscore between toy and bgh.) To get there, take the Nong Khai to Loei bus that runs along route 211. There are direct (overnight) buses back to Bangkok from Sangkhom as well should you choose to go that route. Hope that helps. Regards.#3 Posted: 6/12/2010 - 03:12

Thanks for the thoughtful responses. I think we are going to go to Koh Samet and take our chances with it being busy. If it is 600 baht, I guess that is what we will have to pay. Thanks again! Ian

Recruited by a secret paranormal organization to hunt demons, Jack Harris never guessed the revenge he sought for his partner's death would be this complicated. Jack's worldview is black-and-white--until he is ordered to follow Mersey Bane, a beautiful woman who is also a familiar with shape-shifting abilities. Mersey belongs to the Cadre--a peaceful hermetic order that captures and studies Otherworldly Entities--which is at odds with Jack's organization.
As Jack delves deeper into the inner workings of the Cadre, he finds himself drawn to Mersey like a moth to a flame.
She may challenge all his beliefs, but she brings color and passion to his world. Jack doesn't know whether what he feels for Mersey is love or lust. But if he doesn't figure it out soon, they may become the hunted instead of the hunters.

London, Dec 20 (IANS) Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson has revealed that one needs to keep a check on food intake during Christmas eve.
The 27-year-old wants to enjoy the festive season by eating, drinking and being merry but she doesn't want to put on too much weight.
Wilkinson intends to limit the amount of calorie-laden canapes she eats and has a plan for meal times to avoid overeating, reports contactmusic.com.
In a blog post titled "Say No To Muffin Tops", she wrote: "Between Christmas cookies and cocktail parties, plus all the heavy holiday meals in between, it can be easy to put on a few pounds during the holiday season. Don't let it happen!"
"Here's how to make it to 2013 with a flat belly ... Start every day with breakfast and a short workout. Eating breakfast will rev up your metabolism for the day and a short run or a 20-minute yoga session in the morning boosts your energy and keeps your appetite in check for the rest of the day," she said.
