From Simon's point of view, I suppose, The Dinner Party does represent an attempt to do something new, at least for him: a French philosophic comedy with Absurdist overtones, circa 1955. Six peoplewho turn out to be three divorced couplesfind themselves stuck in a private dining room at a swanky Paris restaurant. The first third of the intermissionless 95-minute evening, mainly for the three males, who arrive earlier ("Women generally take longer to dress"), is devoted to discovering the party's purpose. The middle third, with two ex-wives added, is spent pondering who tricked them into it. The last section finally faces the play's topic, ending in a draw, with one couple staying irrevocably divorced, the other twomaybegetting back together.
This crepe-thin structure has to be filled, and Simon's filling of choicemaddening, rat-tat-tat repetitionhas a stale flavor that could make even the best Parisian restaurant lose its three stars. Not that the script offers much of Paris beyond the characters' namesthese folk are about as French as French's Mustard. Simon's no better at differentiating cultures than he is at differentiating characters; each gets a name and an occupation, but that's it. The vulgar dimwits become magically articulate, the ultra-wealthy indulge in vaudeville wheezes ("I can vouch for that. I even kept the voucher"), and one ex-wife stays placidly in the closed room for a long stretch until the author suddenly requires her to be claustrophobic.

Still, it's short, its falsity is relatively painless, John Rando's staging keeps the cast gracefully in motion, and the actors do what they can to bring the drab occasion a touch of festivity. Having been at drama school with Henry Winkler, I particularly relished watching him go back, with renewed polish and vigor, to a hapless-goofball role of the kind he played so inventively in the pre-Fonz era. Veanne Cox, as his unbalanced ex, does her I'm-a-neurotic-mess acta very fine actmore brilliantly than ever. Jan Maxwell, elegantly brittle, almost gives her character an inner life. Len Cariou is gravely charming and nasty as the tycoon, Penny Fuller sleekly smug as his long-estranged spouse. Only John Ritter, as Maxwell's ex-hubby, leans grimly on one note throughout. Interestingly, when the couples do start rehashing their former spouses' flaws and virtues, only the former ring true.
Almost nothing rings true in Arthur Laurents's Big Potato, which I should decline to review, since both Laurents and his director, Richard Sabellico, have disavowed its production. Written some decades ago, it deals with a married couple, Holocaust survivors, who plot to capture an important ex-Nazi (a "big potato" as opposed to the small kind). The Jewish Rep's production, in which Sabellico miscast and misdeployed five excellent actors, makes no case for the play. But the script's innate speciousness, plainly visible under the production's best and worst moments, amounts to an indictment of any theater that would choose to produce it. If what the JRT wanted was the prestige of a link to Arthur Laurents, it's certainly gotten what it deserves, while Laurents and Sabellico, professionals who might have known better, have been duly punished for not leaving the script to sleep peacefully in their files. They should call it a draw and put the whole mess behind them; Jews don't need any extra troubles these days.
Neena Beber's Hard Feelings at least has qualitieslots of themworth having in a play: verbal wit, a compassionate comic sense, imaginative flair, energy, and even an interest in people. Its problem is finding a form into which to pour them alla project Beber's barely begun with this tale of a wannabe writer (yeah, that again) and the eccentrics around her. A third of the script plays like sketch comedy, often extremely funny; another third touches almost dutifully on a string of issues (lesbian parenting, gender bias, generational conflict). In the best scenes, mostly between the heroine and her aging grandmother, something like drama is built up, only through a device most adult audiences would resist: The grandmother's lucidity is dependent on a pair of green bunny slippers. Still, Beber's writing isn't glib even when her gimmicks are, and in the brain-scrambling oddity of her play, you can hear an individual voice taking form. I bet neither Simon nor Laurents ever wrote a play that was this big a messor this intriguing. Maria Mileaf's production sensibly keeps the lunacy from overflowing its banks, getting especially good work along the way from Mary Fogarty, Guy Boyd, and Pamela J. Gray; Mileaf's one shortfall is with Seana Kofoed, who initially tilts the heroine so far toward loserdom that empathizing with her becomes an effort. With strong aid from Beber's better passages, Kofoed wins her way back, making the evening one of partial victories all round. For more sweeping triumphs, we'll have to wait till the 7thnot that they'd help this season much.

"We'll also be watching to see what happens in Washington and how it impacts potential economic growth. That said, we successfully navigated through the complexities of 2012, and we'll continue to follow that same strategy going forward.

Hotel was convenient to highway. Room was neat and quiet. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast included.
Nothing bad.
Just what we needed
Beds were very hard
The price was GREAT! The location is very close to the university and a great restaurant Marley's. It was clean with plenty of space inside the room.
fitness room, coffee bar
Steve checks us in , did a top notch job later he would also fix the T.v. Room was clean , except for the floor in the bathroom was a little sticky ,but without even saying anything about it ,it was taken care of the second day. All staff were helpfull
Excellent hotel, very glad I spent the extra $10 per night versus a budget inn. Rooms were huge, everything was newish, rooms were very clean and presentable. Breakfast was good. Worth every dollar and will definitely come back and stay there.
Sofa was broken apron entering out room. Room had a funny smell to it. The shower curtain smelled like body oder. The pool was cloudy and cold, even though it was an inside pool.
The stay was amazing, better than expected
The breakfast could have been better, but that's a small complaint
The room was clean.
WiFi REALLY Didn't work.
Nice room, handy parking, lots of local stores and restaurants handy to highway.
Weird entrance from the back.

US Drug Watchdog Urges Recipients of the DePuy Pinnacle All Metal Hip Implant to Call for Information Regarding Blood Testing for Metal Levels
WASHINGTON, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The US Drug Watchdog is extremely concerned that many all metal hip implant recipients are not getting accurate information about elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in their blood, which could lead to a medical condition called metallosis; so they are urging them to call them at 866-714-6466 for specific information about a blood test that has been designed to test for metal levels in a person who now has a metal on metal hip implant such as the DePuy Pinnacle. http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The US Drug Watchdog is very concerned recipients of an all metal hip implant are not getting the word about premature failures, litigation, and recalls. While there has been press about the DePuy ASR, and the Pinnacle, there really has not been much press dealing with the issue of premature failures involving all metal hip implants.
The Watchdog says, "One of our biggest problems has been orthopedic surgeons not communicating with their patients with respect to the patient's questions about pain they might be having, or blood tests, or MRI's that might signify an all metal hip implant failure. For this reason we are urging recipients of a DePuy Pinnacle, or any other type of all metal hip implant to call us anytime at 866-714-6466 for specific information about a blood test that has been designed to measure for elevated levels of cobalt, and chromium in a recipients blood stream." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
According to the BBC on February 28(th), 2012, "The government's health regulator has advised that patients who have undergone large head metal-on-metal hip replacements should be monitored annually for life. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said around 49,000 UK patients with large-head hip implants out of 65,000 with all-metal hips were in a high-risk category. The regulator said that they should have blood tests to check for metal ions, and magnetic resonance imaging scans (MRI) if they have raised metal levels or show adverse symptoms. – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17192520
Updates on litigation involving metal on metal hip implants manufacturers that are being sued for premature failures from the US Drug Watchdog:
* DePuy Pinnacle Case Number U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas MDL#2244. Legal sources are now telling the US Drug Watchdog that in order to be compensated for a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant a failure must have occurred that required revision surgery, or a medical doctor now must be recommending revision surgery because the device has failed, or because of metallosis has been diagnosed.
* Stryker Rejuvenate Modular & ABG II-recalled June 2012.
* Biomet M2a Magnum Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. (Case No.3:12-cv-3476) filed on July 2nd 2012. The US Drug Watchdog says, "For some recipients of the Biomet M2A, and M2 Magnum there may be a looming statute of limitations issue of April 15th 2014 to get identified by the court if your hip implant has failed. Please call us for more information."
* Wright Medical Technology, Inc., Conserve Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2329″). This is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you have a friend, or loved one who is a recipient of a metal-on metal hip implant that has already failed, or is showing symptoms of a failure, or if a recipient is concerned about a premature failure, please call us anytime at 866-714-6466. We want to make certain all metal hip implant recipients get meaningful help, and assistance." http://USDrugWatchdog.com

Early Childhood Education in New Orleans
By Angela Taylor
New Orleans, LA – Local early childhood education advocates are closely monitoring the budget battle shaping up between the Obama Administration and House Republicans' vastly different funding philosophies for the nation's Head Start program. At the same time, Louisiana's highly praised L-A-4 pre-k program lingers in limbo, under-funded and, therefore, under-utilized. Angela Taylor takes a closer look at what this means for New Orleans.

Record Freezing Temps Make for Better Back2Basics Outdoor Adventures
Flagstaff, AZ has encountered record freezing temperatures in January, but Back2Basics long-term drug and alcohol treatment center isn't complaining.
Flagstaff, AZ (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
Mid-January the Arizona Daily Sun reported record freezing temperatures for the Flagstaff, AZ community, which has left Back2Basics Sober Living residents and staff with their best season of winter outdoor sports since the treatment center's inception.
"Starting Friday and forecast through Tuesday, the five-day average temperature (lows vs. highs) will be 8.7 degrees, and the average high will be 21.6 degrees. That makes for the coldest five-day stretch so far this century and since at least 1990, according to the Weather Service." reported the AZ Daily Sun on January 13.
"It has been a great couple of weeks with practically 40 inches of snow to play in," said owner and CEO Roy DuPrez.
DuPrez has worked closely with the Outdoor Adventure Supervisor Chase Christensen to redirect the weekly health and fitness plan to include frequent trips to the Northern Arizona Snowbowl to cross country ski and snowboard.
Residents are provided with the gear and educated on safety for every sport. Within the Flagstaff community institutions such as Ski Haus and Northern Arizona University has supported these endeavors by providing sports equipment and Wilderness First Responder Training to staff and residents.
"We are fortunate to live in such a diverse climate where we get to see our residents take to both summer and winter activities," added DuPrez. "It really exposes them to a broad range of positive and actives things they can bring into their lives post-Back2Basics."

A local artist made certain the kids' room would be a favorite with playful dolphins, fish and seahorses swimming on the blue walls. We hope you'll want to come back again and again.

Allen Iverson was surprised he played only 18 minutes in Tuesday's loss at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND -- After playing 18 minutes in his second game coming off the bench, Allen Iverson apparently isn't taking to his new role.
He said so following the Pistons' 79-73 loss to the Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
When a reporter asked him how he was feeling in his second game back after missing 16 games with a sore back, he responded: "How many minutes did I play?" ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kaitlyn Thumann doubled and scored on an error in the bottom of the eighth inning as Baylor rallied from a seven-run deficit to stun Kentucky 8-7 on Saturday night in an elimination game in the Women's College World Series.
Much like the regular-season basketball game between the women's powers — which Kentucky won in four overtimes — the WCWS matchup had all sorts of twists and turns.
"Wow," Baylor coach Glenn Moore said. "I won't forget that one until I forget who I am. These girls are incredible. They just didn't quit believing. For five innings, we weren't even in the game. That's why you play seven, I guess. I just thought we were facing a team destined to win and (there was) nothing we could do about it.
"Three outs to go and thinking there's not much hope, I turned to my little boy in the dugout and said, 'You're not going to cry after this, are you?' He said, 'Cry? We're going to win!" I was like, "Yeah!" It was just unbelievable execution and fight from these girls."
Kentucky (50-19) led 7-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth, but Kelsey Nunley (30-11) — who allowed just three hits to that point — gave up six singles during a three-run rally for Baylor. Ari Hawkins led off the seventh with a solo home run to make it 7-4 and Robin Landrith's two-run, two-out double tied it.
In the eighth, after Thumann doubled, Hawkins bunted and Kentucky catcher Griffin Joiner's throw to first base caromed off Hawkins into right field, allowing Thumann to score.
Baylor (49-16) was eliminated by fifth-seeded Florida on Sunday. Florida (53-12) will face Alabama in the best-of-three finals, which started on Monday. "Right before we entered the field (in the sixth), our seniors pulled us together and said, 'Hey — this is not going to be our last game,'" Hawkins said. "I just took that to heart and I just was not going to go out losing. I just went up there and tried my hardest."
That made a winner of Baylor reliever Heather Stearns (15-4), who allowed one hit in 2 1-3 innings. Stearns also recorded the win earlier Saturday as the Bears eliminated Florida State 7-2.
Ginny Carroll, Emily Gaines and Krystal Smith homered for Kentucky as the Wildcats built their 7-0 lead.
Gaines and Carroll both homered off Baylor ace Whitney Canion (31-12) during a three-run second inning, with Smith — who went 3 for 4 — smashing a double in between. Carroll's homer ended Canion's day.
Carroll's RBI single in the fourth keyed a two-run inning for the Wildcats, who took advantage of an error by Thumann in right field. In the sixth, Smith homered just inside the left-field foul pole to make it 6-0. Christian Stokes later doubled with two outs and scored on the back end of a double steal, with Sylver Samuel taking second base.
But Baylor wasn't done.
The Bears answered with six hits — all singles — off Nunley in the bottom of the sixth. Linsey Hays, Jordan Strickland and Lindsey Cargill each had a run-scoring single and the Bears brought the potential tying run to the plate with two outs, but Thumann struck out to end the rally.
Nunley threw every inning for Kentucky during the postseason.
"At one point, I thought about putting one of our other pitchers in, but really, the mistake with me is that I didn't prepare them to come in," coach Rachel Lawson said. "The reason I went with Kelsey is because I'm comfortable (with her). A change would have been great, but it would have been too unpredictable."
The loss concludes the winningest season in UK softball history with the Wildcats earning 50 wins and advancing to the Women's College World Series for the first time in program history. Kentucky started the season with 12 consecutive wins, marking the longest winning streak in school history and the best to start a season in program history.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Until now, students and researchers in nonparametric and semiparametric statistics and econometrics have had to turn to the latest journal articles to keep pace with these emerging methods of economic analysis. Nonparametric Econometrics fills a major gap by gathering together the most up-to-date theory and techniques and presenting them in a remarkably straightforward and accessible format. The empirical tests, data, and exercises included in this textbook help make it the ideal introduction for graduate students and an indispensable resource for researchers.
Nonparametric and semiparametric methods have attracted a great deal of attention from statisticians in recent decades. While the majority of existing books on the subject operate from the presumption that the underlying data is strictly continuous in nature, more often than not social scientists deal with categorical data--nominal and ordinal--in applied settings. The conventional nonparametric approach to dealing with the presence of discrete variables is acknowledged to be unsatisfactory.
This book is tailored to the needs of applied econometricians and social scientists. Qi Li and Jeffrey Racine emphasize nonparametric techniques suited to the rich array of data types--continuous, nominal, and ordinal--within one coherent framework. They also emphasize the properties of nonparametric estimators in the presence of potentially irrelevant variables.
Nonparametric Econometrics covers all the material necessary to understand and apply nonparametric methods for real-world problems.

More and more, I find myself wondering if it's all worth fighting for...for a future without fear...yeah, it's worth it. (Chris Redfield)
Chris has been paired with Jill for a much longer time than with Piers, so it's only natural that Jill would get more votes. Also it's because people can't accept the fact that people pair Chris with another guy, apparently that's "weird". I'm ChrisxPiers all the way! I liked Jill as a villain anyways.

yeah, of course it's because of that and homophobia. it's not because, say, chris/jill has a huge fanbase that have been waiting for them to happen and ever since the release of Revelations in HD, the fanbase only grew wider, especially with Parker, a character from the game, hinting Chris is already taken by Jill.
Chris and Jill all the way.
Valenfield, man!
Chris/Jill is meant to be. Ever since the first game, we're meant to see them as a couple. In the intro, Chris is quick to run over to Jill and protect her and tell her to run for that house. Then the endings in which all of them consist of them either holding hands or her falling asleep on him. The moment they find each other in the cell, she will sometimes hug him or hold his hand, and in the original, Chris cups her face and is all adorable with her.
Then everything they went through together. All the canon novelizations of the games describe them in a way that it's supposed to make it look like they want each other but can't be together due to their mission. The RE5 novelization is a purple prose fest of Chris/Jill. That entire game is. If I'm not mistaken, even the producer of RE5 said Chris loved Jill and vice versa but they wouldn't say it out loud. Just look at them in that game. Chris was willing to let the world go to hell just to stay by Jill's side. It was Chris who brought her back from her brainwashing. Chris' voice calling out her name.
And back then I thought they couldn't be any more obvious in regards of Chris/Jill but then Revelations happened.
Not only it happened, but there was a strong emphasis on their relationship and how Chris changes around her. The way he treats Jessica and the way he treats Jill. The way he freaks out when Jill gets trapped with that monster and she has to calm him down. She has to calm him down because he is so freaked out she almost got hurt. Then when she almost drowns and he freaks out again. And finally, like it's been said, Parker hinting that Chris and Jill are in a relationship or at least want to be. He says to Jessica, the girl who had been hiting on Chris the entire time, 'Maybe he's (Chris) is already taken' while smiling at Chris and Jill walking away together. That is huge.
Chris/Jill's fanbase is probably one of the largest fanbases ever. It exists since 1996. You can't exclude that in one game. Shinji designed them to like each other and it's been that way since the start. You can like the couple or not, you can ship different pairings, you can turn Chris gay or Jill a lesbian, that's fine. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But it won't change the fact that Chris/Jill is a solid, real thing and Capcom knows. It's why they admitted the most requested couple to come back was Chris and Jill. They said that's what the majority of fans wanted.

From Where We Stand Episode 1: Mountain Creek Bike Park, NJ
Awesome episode! I live in NJ and ride MCBP often; it truly is an amazing place to ride. Only thing that irks me is that it sounds like they are trying to be too East vs. West. While I get that most feel the East Coast is underrated, there is no need to try and compare it with the West Coast riding. By constantly saying that the East Coast has "this and that" and the West Coast doesn't, further provokes the image that the East Coast is inferior (in my mind). The East has top notch trails and is a phenomenal place to ride, and shouldn't need to be compared to the West Coast to gain credibility. Regardless, awesome episode and look forward to the others in this series!

So, I have this 5.5 gallon tank without a light. It had an incandescent light that didn't work anymore, so I trashed it. I wanted to put a Betta in it, but can't find a lighted hood, or tank cover/light combo that would fit, so I ended up buying a 10 gallon tank. Mr. Betta will be happier in the 10 gallon anyway once I bring him home, and I think my entertainment center should be able to support the 100-120 pounds worth of fish tank. I tested the integrity of the entertainment center by sitting
I got a new tank! but not a "new" tank. A friend of a friend contacted me as she had a small tank she was looking to get rid of, and she had heard that I have fish. I went to get it (because, hey, free tank! with filter and heater and lights!), and was thinking of setting it up in the computer room...
Anyway, the tank turned out to be a 7 gallon glass tank, populated with... 3 dwarf chain loaches and at least 2 dozen adult guppies (about half and half

I was at my LFS today, and couldn't resist getting this fish. (Fyi I already finished the fishless cycle no worries) I have always wanted a white or yellow betta. And at least in my area they seem rather rare, so I was very lucky to come across this one. I still have to get some gravel and live plants, but so far he looks fairly happy in

Mankind has unveiled a staggering amount of invaluable information about the human brain. And there is no doubt that much of this discovery has risen in honest efforts to help cure diseases, promote well-being, and understand human behavior for the benefit of us all. However it is also quite evident that the scientific community has still simply managed to scratch the surface of the brain's capabilities and workings. And one of the greatest mysteries that still baffle scientists is the existence and functioning of the "mind". We must remember that the mind itself cannot be examined under a microscope like the brain.
The mind seems to be the captain of the brain so-to-speak. And regardless of the complexity of a computer it still depends on a programmer to operate; so in simple terms the mind runs the brain. "Joyce Meyer": famous Christian teacher and author describes the mind as "spirit added to brain". This is a beautiful way to describe it. You see God is a spirit and in Genesis we read that "God breathed life into the man". He literally gave man a spirit; this is not something that can be fully understood but nonetheless one cannot deny the existence of mind and spirit; it is an actual scientific fact!
But one must also realize that man himself did not create the mind or the spirit. It is totally God-given and therefore beyond our true understanding. The Bible has much to say about the human mind and God's mind. The Bible says that "God thoughts are as high as the heavens higher than our thoughts". After all God is God and thinks accordingly while humans continue to think as mere men. So what is it that causes man to believe that he can fully understand the mystery of the brain and mind? Does he truly feel that he will uncover the nature of reality using his own mind and resources? Can man understand the mind with a mind? As Christians we need to realize that the Bible teaches about God's will and man's will. In the beginning man and God enjoyed a perfect harmonious relationship but something happened, sin entered the world through the disobedience of eating the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:3). Now man's eyes (mind) were opened to evil; and as a result, sinful ways were destined to follow.
Now please understand that it isn't against God's will to learn and discover more about the human brain and mind. This kind of study should actually develop in us a reverence for God's amazing creation. This wonderful research is essential and has yielded beautiful results in society for the benefit of mankind. However if one elevates himself above God by claiming that man created everything including God, than this becomes pride and pride ultimately leads to a downfall. The Bible says that Christians are to be led by the spirit of God; this means that we will not always understand God's will with our senses or human mind. And over and over in the Bible we see God commanding people to do things that were totally against their natural senses. For example God told Moses to hold a stick over the soldiers in battle to gain victory; now how could this be understood in natural terms? And this kind of occurrence is repeated constantly throughout the Bible; it helps us to understand that Faith is what pleases God and moves his hand in our lives.
Maybe you feel as if you will never have true peace of mind or calmness. Listen friend God cares so much that he gave his only begotten son to save you! You personally were bought with a high price; this fact should give you a real God-based self-esteem. Jesus loves you! Accept him today!

Marubeni Buys Texas Eagle Ford Shale Stake for $1.3 Billion
Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Marubeni Corp., Japan's biggest grain-trading company, agreed to buy a 35 percent stake in shale oil and gas acreage in the U.S. from Hunt Oil Co. in a $1.3 billion deal that includes future drilling costs.
The Tokyo-based company will acquire 52,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford area in Texas, it said in a statement on its website today. Marubeni and Hunt plan to drill "several hundred" wells in the area over the next five to 10 years, according to the statement.
European and Asian energy producers are piling into North American shale, which the Energy Information Administration estimates can more than double the world's gas reserves. Total SA and China Petrochemical Corp. have committed more than $7 billion in the past month to U.S. and Canadian projects, overlooking concern that the drilling, which fractures underground rocks with sand and chemicals, may cause earthquakes and contaminate drinking water.
"These prices are starting to look a bit toppy," said Iain Armstrong, an analyst at broker Brewin Dolphin Ltd. in London. "At the moment there's an oversupply of gas. And there's still a debate about fracking and putting nasty chemicals into the ground."
Japanese companies are boosting investments in new types of oil and gas assets to help reduce the country's reliance on Middle Eastern supplies. Marubeni and Dallas-based Hunt agreed they would acquire more shale acreage in the Eagle Ford area, according to the statement.
Relative Value
Marubeni's deal values the fields at about $25,000 an acre. Total's $2.32 billion acquisition of a stake in the Utica region in New York from Chesapeake Energy Corp. was for about $15,000 an acre, according to Bloomberg calculations.
Sinopec's Jan. 3 purchase of a one-third stake in Devon Energy Corp. exploration projects valued fields at about $5,500 an acre after drilling costs, according to Scott Hanold, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets in Minneapolis.
Marubeni fell 1 percent to 474 yen in Tokyo compared with a 1.2 percent decline in the benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average. The stock dropped 18 percent last year.
Japan, which buys almost all its energy needs from overseas, increased imports of liquefied natural gas after the March earthquake and tsunami knocked out nuclear reactors at Fukushima.
North Sea
Marubeni is involved in oil and gas projects in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, India and Qatar, according to the statement. Itochu Corp., Japan's third-largest trading company, said in October 2010 it would invest $390 million to buy a 25 percent stake in about 88,000 acres of the Niobrara oil shale reserve in southeastern Wyoming from Fidelity Exploration & Production Co.
The U.S. overtook Russia in 2010 as the world's largest gas producer as output from shale rose. Gas trapped in shale formations will provide 24 percent of all U.S. natural-gas consumption in 2035, according to the Department of Energy.
Shale acquisitions helped push overseas offers for U.S. oil and gas fields to $51 billion last year, the most in at least 12 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Melbourne-based BHP Billiton Ltd. led purchases in 2011 with the $12.1 billion takeover of Petrohawk Energy Corp.

MIM chief says not a single minority vote would go to Congress in 2014 polls. The Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (MIM) cannot be cowed down by arrests and judicial remand and is prepared to take the battle to its logical end
The Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (MIM) cannot be cowed down by arrests and judicial remand and is prepared to take the battle to its logical end, asserted the Majlis president, Asaduddin Owaisi.
"I am ready to fight whichever way the government chooses to — democratically or otherwise," he thundered. Mr. Asaduddin was addressing a large congregation at the 'Milad-un-Nabi' programme organised at Darussalam here in the late hours of Thursday. Mr. Asaduddin, who spoke well past midnight, threw an open challenge to the Chief Minister, N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, to book cases against his party leaders. "Let us see who will beat a retreat. Not a single vote of the 80 lakh strong minorities will go to the Congress this time," he asserted.
Earlier, Mr. Asaduddin was given a tumultuous welcome when he arrived at the venue. The gathering broke the cordon and surged forward to catch a glimpse of 'Asad bhai' who had to repeatedly urge them to resume their seats. "I am not a film star that you want to see me. Just listen to me and act when the time comes," he said.
Lambasts Congress
Holding the Congress government responsible for the present troubles of Majlis, Mr. Asaduddin said if the Chief Minister had any political wisdom, he would have confined the issue just to the State. "Magar woh Akbar ka baja itna bajaya ke woh hero ho gaye," (But he played up Akbaruddin's speech so much that he has now become an all-India figure.)
As the crowd went into raptures, he asked the people to show their enthusiasm on the day of polling. "Shed despair and disappointment. Don't you know God has purchased the lives of the faithful in lieu of 'Jannat' (paradise)?" he said referring to a Quranic verse.
CM's self-goal
The communal stand of the Congress has got exposed after his arrest, Mr. Asaduddin said. The Chief Minister wanted to pin down the Majlis and the United Muslim Front but he ended up 'making a self-goal,' he remarked. "In 2014 elections, Mr. Kiran Kumar will definitely lose, but I will come back and so would all my seven MLAs," he declared.
Mr. Asaduddin clarified that the Majlis was not against Hindus or Hinduism but was against Hindutva forces – the Sangh Parivar, VHP and BJP. He defended his party MLA Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri's controversial speech. He said the latter had not insulted Mahatma Gandhi. The Majlis has the highest regard for the Mahatma, he said and added that Majlis need not learn respect for the Mahatma from 'his killers.'
Salutes Ambedkar
But he considered Ambedkar a bigger leader than Mahatma Gandhi. "For me, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad were bigger leaders than Gandhi. In my view, the biggest political leaders of Independent India were Abdul Wahid Owaisi and Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi," the Majlis leader remarked referring to his late grandfather and father.
The Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde was being targeted for his statement that RSS and BJP were running terror camps as he was a Dalit leader, Mr. Asaduddin said and asked Mr. Shinde to order a fresh probe into all the bomb blasts that took place in the country after demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992.
Mr. Asaduddin also spoke of halting Congress march to Parliament in 2014. The Majlis would also ensure that the Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi's wish of becoming Prime Minister remains a pipe dream.
Police flayed
Taking pot-shots at police, he dared them to record his speech and post it on YouTube. In a choked voice, Mr. Asaduddin said he was saddened by the absence of his brother Mr. Akbaruddin. "History shows that it is the righteous that always emerge victorious," he said. Mr. Akbaruddin, he said, was always a 'mujahid' (crusader) and he would remain so.
He condemned the serious charge of sedition levelled against his brother and wondered why Hindu religious leader Swami Kamalananda's bail was not opposed. He questioned the police why they have not taken action against Congress leaders against whom non-bailable warrants were pending.

03.11.07 - By Ted Sares: Back some time ago I predicted the outcome as follows:
The Predicted Outcome: Calzaghe does not have the one-punch power of Kessler and this could prove pivotal for Mikkel. On balance, however, I see Calzaghe getting into his rhythm early and avoiding Kessler bombs with great ring movement and acumen. I see him peppering the Dane with enough punches, many in lightening combinations, to gain a close decision. That said, the fight has the potential to be overly strategic and cerebral and this could translate to something other than the exciting engagement most are expecting or at least hoping for. Heck, the odds on this fight going the distance have to be pretty darn good..
The bookmakers have made Calzaghe a 1/2 favorite coming in, likely influenced by the fact the bout's location is in Cardiff where some 70, 000 fans will be screaming their support at the Millennium Stadium. Reportedly, about 5,000 Danish fans will be making the journey, and I may be joining them as well (coming by way of Geneva).
My heart says Kessler; my brain says Calzaghe by close decision, though, as I said, a draw is a distinct possibility.
The Actual Outcome
Well, tonight was the night and the excitement in the build up to the fight was palpable. As for the result, I had the outcome right, but not the way it was achieved. It was an exciting fight and the well prepared and crafty Calzaghe dominated, demonstrating great hand speed, a rock solid chin, superb stamina, great focus, willingness to take risks, and the ability to let his hands go. All in all, Joe Calzaghe clearly deserved his unanimous win. He truly is a great fighter.
As for the heavy-handed Mikkel who started well, he certainly did not disgrace himself, but he had no answers for the Welshman after the fourth stanza when Joe took control and dictated the pace pretty much the rest of the way.
Oh yes, some unsolicited advice to Bernard Hopkins: dont fight Joe Calzaghe.

In an abrupt change of tone, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians replaced its harshly critical statement regarding Ward Churchill with one that acknowledges the professor's "alleged ancestry" of being Cherokee.
"Because Mr. Churchill had genealogical information regarding his alleged ancestry, and his willingness to assist the UKB in promoting the tribe and its causes, he was awarded an 'Associate Membership' as an honor," the tribe's website said Thursday. "However, Mr. Churchill may possess eligibility status for Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma,
The new statement, while stopping short of endorsing any of Churchill's heritage, veers from the sharp rebuke posted Tuesday on the tribal website. The website said "Mr. Churchill mocks the basic fundamental principles of Tribal Sovereignty when he consistently refers to enrollment as a 'pedigree' and compares enrollment to 'dogs' and 'Nazi policies."'
The University of Colorado professor has been at the center of controversy since statements he made comparing some victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to a Nazi became public.
In the ensuing furor, CU began an investigation of Churchill that included allegations of plagiarism and of falsely identifying himself to be Indian. That inquiry is ongoing.
The conflicting views on Churchill within the Keetoowah band are a likely indicator of the difficulty a CU committee faces in rendering a decision on his ethnicity and how it relates to his scholarship.
On Thursday, Churchill said that while the new statement supports his contention that the tribe verified his genealogy, it changes nothing. "As it stands now, I am an enrolled associate
Or, he said, "I'll resign. All you ever had to do was ask. If you're so ashamed of me, hell, I don't want anything to do with you. But it was never honorary," Churchill said of his associate membership, "and it did require enrollment."
One point in which Churchill and the tribe appear to agree is that Churchill did not meet the standard to be a full member.
"He was not eligible for tribal membership due to the fact that
he does not possess a 'Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB), which is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Interior/Bureau of Indian Affairs," Thursday's statement said.
Churchill has repeatedly said he has never asked for a CDIB as the idea of being "vetted" by the U.S. government is offensive.
Former tribal chief John Ross, who issued Churchill the associate member degree in 1994, could not be reached for comment. Chief George Wickliffe did not return repeated phone calls Thursday, and a woman who answered the phone at the tribal office
said the statement spoke for him.

We'll remind you, first, that New York elects its mayor the year after the United States elects its president. Then we'll remind you that Mike Bloomberg was elected to a second four-year term — unprecedented spending, unprecedented margin of victory, remember? — in November 2005 and inaugurated on January 1, 2006. Finally, we'll remind you that this means he'll be New York's mayor until December 31, 2009. Now let us point you to the first two sentences of Adam Gopnik's "Comment" in the current New Yorker. The emphasis is ours:
It is a sign of the times — which, a Greenwich Village bard once told us, change — that two former mayors of New York may run for President next year, and no one thinks that either candidacy is even slightly a joke. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is thinking of running, as a Republican, and current Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who will be a former by then, may run as a None of the Above.
Hey, even the world's most storied fact-checking staff gets a holiday break, too.

text: on Jun 11, 2013 @ 10:42 PMJun 11, 2013 @ 10:42 PM Published Football: Hour of reckoning for BrazilOne year out from the World Cup in Brazil, where victory for the hosts is being seen as a must, an inexperienced Selecao featuring young prodigy Neymar are hoping to take advantage of the Confederations Cup to fine-tune their preparations.The five-time World Cup winners are hoping to go as far as possible in the competition, which starts on June 15, to win the traditional curtain-raiser to football's biggest prize for the fourth time.Recalled last December to lead the charge for 2014 glory, master tactician Luiz Felipe Scolari has cast aside 30-somethings such as Kaka and Ronaldinho and is banking on youth to overcome a lack of match practice and an existential crisis.For Brazil's young talent, notably Neymar, who recently completed a move to Barcelona, and Chelsea's creative midfielder Oscar, the Confederations Cup is a unique opportunity to get experience and confidence for the World Cup.The average age of the squad is 26 years and six months. In 2010, the team coached by Dunga, at the World Cup in South Africa was much more experienced.Currently, only four players retained by Scolari have previously contested a World Cup: Fred, Julio Cesar, Thiago Silva and Dani Alves.In addition, 11 of the 23-man squad play at Brazilian clubs in a change from years gone by, when the South American giant struggled to hold on to its young players.Both Neymar and Fernando were still at Brazilian clubs -- Santos and Gremio respectively -- when Scolari announced his Confederations Cup squad on May 14.The former left for Barca just days later, then Fernando became the latest Brazilian to sign for Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk."Youth has its advantages. They're really keen. On the other hand, there are some things that only experience can bring," assessed Scolari, who guided Brazil to its fifth world title in 2002.Experience includes the Confederations Cup, where Brazil open against Japan on Saturday, then take on Mexico on June 19 and Italy three days later.Standing in their way to the title -- should they make the knock-out stages -- are likely to be current World Cup holders and double European champions Spain.Brazil are still far from the top of the world rankings but Scolari has been given a glimpse of his side's potential after two successful Confederations Cup warm-up matches.In the first, they drew 2-2 with England in the inaugural match at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium, while on Sunday they beat France 3-0.The France result especially will be morale-boosting for Brazil, given that it was their first win against major opposition since a 1-0 triumph against England in 2009.It also could not come at a better time for Scolari, who has been calling for patience ever since his reappointment and mixed results in their diet of friendlies (one defeat, four draws and a victory)."I've picked the side which will start against Japan in the Confederations Cup. I'm just very satisfied by my players' performances," he said on Sunday.Scolari has found some answers to his main dilemma: how to achieve more defensive solidity without hampering the Auriverde's natural attacking style.Up front, the forward line is looking good with the skilful Fred on point, supported by the artistry of Neymar, the strength of Hulk or Lucas and the creative Oscar.Neymar shines less for the national side than at club level but he can still change the game at a single stroke, as he demonstrated on Sunday by his impeccable through-ball to Oscar, who opened the scoring against France.At the back, captain Thiago Silva is seen as one of the best bossing central defenders in the world, while alongside him Dani Alves and Marcelo are good going forward.They regularly create numbers in attack but that has forced Scolari to count on two solid central defenders -- Luiz Gustavo and Paulinho -- to secure the lines.bur-pal/cdo/stt/alh/phz/pi
