Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse (ゼノサーガ エピソードII 善悪の彼岸 Zenosāga Episōdo Tsū Zen'aku no Higan?) is a role-playing video game for the PlayStation 2 and the second title in the Xenosaga series, created by Namco and developed by its subsidiary at the time, Monolith Soft.
Jenseits von Gut und Böse, literally "Beyond Good and Evil", is taken from a philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche of the same name. Episode II was originally written by Tetsuya Takahashi,[1] director of the previous game and Xenogears, a game that critics associate with the Xenosaga trilogy; it was directed by Koh Arai, who worked previously on Radical Dreamers, a visual novel set in the Chrono Trigger universe, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, and the first Xenosaga game.[2] This is the only Xenosaga game to be released in Europe, so the European released contained a DVD movie featuring the cutscenes from Xenosaga 1.
The second installment to the series features the same cast from Episode I, still focusing on Shion, KOS-MOS, and their friends. Episode II differs in that the plot follows the characters Jr. and MOMO closer than previously, exposing much of their past, which was kept secret during the first game.

Episode II begins with a flashback of the Miltian Conflict, where Helmer orders chaos and Canaan to pilot E.S. Asher to Old Miltia and retrieve the U.R.T.V. units from the Realian rioting near Labyrinthos, the U-TIC Organization headquarters. Along the way, the two men encounter Federation officer Jin Uzuki, who is investigating the root of the Conflict. Uzuki believes that the entire Conflict is a set-up to turn U-TIC into a scapegoat, which, in turn, will keep the larger organization hidden in the shadows. He has data that he believes can prove this, but the data can only be decoded at Labyrinthos. The trio encounters U-TIC operative Margulis along the way, who demands that Jin return the U-TIC's encoded data. Uzuki defeats Margulis in a swordfight. Canaan is then entrusted with Jin's data before parting ways with Canaan and chaos, who then rescue U.R.T.V.s Rubedo and Nigredo.
In the present day, Margulis talks with the Patriarch of Ormus, explaining that Albedo will unlock the safeguard on the Y-Data and lead them to Old Miltia. The two also discuss the motives of Heinlein, Ormus's second-in-command. On Second Miltia, Canaan leaves the investigation disappointed once again; he must continue to be burdened by carrying Jin's undecoded data. Meanwhile, Shion Uzuki and the rest of the party arrive at Second Miltia, where they part ways. Jr., MOMO, Ziggy, and chaos are chased by U-TIC operatives wishing to capture MOMO once again. However, the attacks are thwarted. At Second Miltia's Vector Industries headquarters, Shion, Allen Ridgeley, and KOS-MOS are briefed of the increasing Gnosis threat. Soon after, Shion is reunited with her brother, Jin Uzuki, who is now running a bookstore. Eventually, both parties are reunited during the Federation's analysis of MOMO in order to retrieve the Y-Data at the U.M.N. Administration Center. During the analysis, a trap planted in MOMO by Albedo during his time with her on the Song of Nephilim is tripped and MOMO shuts down to prevent the Y-Data from leaking. The party performs an Encephalon dive to try to revive her personality. The party witnesses some important parts of Jr.'s past as a U.R.T.V. unit at the Yuriev Institute. They follow Jr.'s memories of himself, Albedo, and Nigredo on a mission to cure a disorder of Sakura Mizrahi, Joachim Mizrahi's daughter on whom MOMO was based. They eventually meet the real Albedo, who has also dived into MOMO's subconscious. In order to try to protect Jr., MOMO lowers her defenses and the Y-Data leaks to Albedo. Albedo uses the Y-Data to open the path to Old Miltia.
Seizing the moment, both the Federation and Ormus ("Immigrant") fleets launch their invasion into Old Miltian space with a mutual goal of seizing the Original Zohar. The Immigrant/Ormus fleet gains the advantage and quickly descends to Old Miltia. Meanwhile, Shion and Allen return to the Dämmerung to continue their duties with Vector Industries. On Second Miltia, Representative Helmer decides to launch an attack on Old Miltia in conjunction with the Kukai Foundation, Vector Industries, and S.O.C.E.; this way, the Original Zohar is apprehended by a neutral party. Shion has a vision in which Febronia once again asks her to free Febronia's sisters, which she suggests are on Old Miltia. Shion and Allen escape from the Dämmerung. Wilhelm, Vector's CEO, watches the escape and states that Shion is an important figure that cannot be lost, and KOS-MOS will be the key to absolute knowledge. Therefore, he decides to activate KOS-MOS secretly to assist Shion and Allen at Old Miltia. KOS-MOS merges her craft with the craft Shion and Allen stole to form the E.S. Dinah, which fights off an Ormus attack and rendezvouses with the rest of the party on the Elsa.
Reunited, the party launches another strike into Old Miltian space by flying between the two black holes of the Abyss, destroying an Ormus Stronghold along the way. After weaving through the space battle between the Federation and Ormus fleets, the Elsa lands on a mostly-underwater Old Miltia and the party ventures to Labyrinthos. Inside Labyrinthos, Jin Uzuki analyzes the data he stored in Canaan and confirms his suspicions: Joachim Mizrahi was being used during the Miltian Conflict, the U-TIC Organization, Immigrant Fleet, and Hyams are all fronts for the Ormus society, and Joachim Mizrahi closed off Old Miltia in order to prevent the re-awakening of U-DO, a powerful wave existence related to the Original Zohar. In other words, Mizrahi was a hero who was initially manipulated by Ormus, the true organization behind U-TIC and the Immigrant fleet.
At the core of Labyrinthos, Margulis and Jin Uzuki face off once again. Afterward, Shion notices that Febronia's sisters—Cecily and Cathe—have been deformed almost beyond recognition as humanoid and have been built into a system attached to the Zohar. The Ormus Patriarch appears, and explains that Ormus are the original guardians of the Zohar and that Ormus must continue to guide humans for eternity. The Zohar begins to glow, and KOS-MOS aims to destroy Cecily and Cathe. Shion at first stops her, but then realizes what Febronia meant by "free", and allows her to destroy them. Even with this control system destroyed, the Patriarch still merges the Zohar with a giant mechanical form, Proto Ω—a weapon that could strike anywhere in space when combined with the Zohar. The Patriarch explains that he will use Ω to destroy the Gnosis and command the galaxy under Ormus. The party is then forced to escape as Old Miltia crumbles and is morphed into the Ω System. Meanwhile, the spirit of Dmitri Yuriev, the creator of the U.R.T.V.s, takes control of Gaignun Kukai's body. Margulis and a Hyams scientist, Sellers, betray the Patriarch in favor of Heinlein. The Patriarch is left in the Ω System to fend for himself.
Shion and her allies enter the Ω System and confront the Patriarch, who had previously defeated Albedo with Proto Ω. The Testaments defeat the Patriarch and revive Albedo so that he can morph Miltian space into a space-time anomaly. After Albedo does this, Jr. decides to confront his brother personally; he dives into the anomaly and is talked to by Albedo, who eventually asks Jr. to destroy him. Although the space-time anomaly is destroyed, the Original Zohar remains floating in space. Before the Durandal and the Kukai Foundation can rush to acquire it, a star system-sized Gnosis referred to as Abel's Ark appears. Abel's Ark retrieves the Original Zohar and vanishes. Both chaos and Wilhelm observe with deep interest; the latter also addresses the former as "Yeshua" (the original Aramaic name of Jesus Christ). chaos said he wouldn't hold back anymore while standing outside on the Durandal looking at the Dämmerung, apparently addressing Wilhelm. After these events, the party separates to try to lead normal lives, although Jin worries that the chain of events is not over. The game concludes with Wilhelm and his Testaments welcoming a new White Testament to the fold. Wilhelm calls this man the "Weaver of the Eternal Circle of Zarathustra."
One year later, Episode III begins.
In June 2004, Namco released the long-awaited Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse. Player continue the story line of Xenosaga Episode I, once again assuming the roles of chaos, Jr. and Shion Uzuki. In true sequel fashion, Xenosaga Episode II answered some of the questions that Episode I introduced, including mysteries surrounding the U.R.T.V.s and the Miltian Conflict. However, most major questions were not answered or explored. Some examples include the true identities of chaos and Nephilim, the significance of Abel's Ark and the true nature of U-DO. These questions were saved for this episode's sequel, Xenosaga Episode III.
This episode introduced significant stylistic changes from the Episode 1. Of note are changes to the character designs, which deviated from the original anime style. Characters' change physically, too, as every playable character except Ziggy received costume changes. Other characters, like Shion, also received dramatic physical makeovers in the progression. In addition to the stylistic changes, Xenosaga Episode II's battle system was modified from the one featured in Episode I. Episode II featured the "boost" command and introduced the "stock" system. The last significant change in Xenosaga Episode II from its prequel was game music. Composition of cutscene music was performed by Yuki Kajiura, a newcomer to the Xenosaga project. The in-game music, including battle themes, was composed by another newcomer, Shinji Hosoe.
This episode also marked several changes that bridged the gap between itself and the series' uncredited ancestor, Xenogears. A.G.W.S. units were replaced in Episode II by different robots known as E.S., which are equipped with Vessels of Anima that are similar to the Anima Relics which were featured in Xenogears. Battles in E.S. units were also separated from character battles, like most of Xenogears, and players may also use E.S. to explore dungeons as well.
Episode II sold below expectations. Several months after Episode II 's North American release, it was revealed that scenario writer Soraya Saga, was removed from the series. Monolith's management elected not to continue using the services of Saga, who worked freelance for them on Episode I, Episode II and Xenosaga: Pied Piper. It was also revealed that Saga's contributions to the original script for Episode II had been heavily altered by the new team of writers and editors that Monolith Soft had hired on for Episode II's production. Saga described certain scenes, primarily the ones involving Albedo's childhood, as being edited to the point of being unrecognizable from her original work,[citation needed] while others like the scenes at the UMN Administration Center survived more-or-less intact.[citation needed] Most elements that were removed from the original Episode II script as described in Soraya Saga's online FAQ do appear in Episode III.[citation needed] The original chief character designer, Kunihiko Tanaka, also distanced himself from the project since Episode II's production. He was given a "character illustration" credit for Episode II. Shortly after the American release of Episode II, Monolith Soft announced that the main Xenosaga series would be stopped at Episode III.
As with Xenosaga Episode I, the US version of the game was censored in order to receive a Teen rating. Albedo attempts to explain regeneration and, in the Japanese version, he pulls a pistol to his head and blows it off. The Western release still featured the blood spatter but the gun was altered to be an orb of energy.[citation needed]
Episode II features a soundtrack with more contemporary sounds; compared to Episode I, Episode II features a large amount of synthesizer usage as well as vocal tracks. The development of Episode II's music was split between Yuki Kajiura (cutscenes) and Shinji Hosoe (in-game music). Kajiura's soundtrack consists of 40 tracks and features vocal pieces by Margaret Dorn, Deb Lyons and Yuriko Kaida. The ending theme "Sweet Song" is sung by Margaret Dorn. The Image theme and its arrangements are sung by Deb Lyons all of which are composed by Kajiura.
Episode II sold over 256,000 copies in Japan by the end of 2004.[9] It received criticism for most of its elements. Gaming Age complained that the game is shorter than Episode I.[10] The new voice actors for Shion, MOMO and KOS-MOS were considered a downgrade by IGN.[5] The site was similarly disappointed with the music, and that famed videogame composer Yasunori Mitsuda did not return to score the music of Episode II, despite getting critical acclaim for his musical work on Episode I, disappointing fans of his work.[5] The change in character art direction was also criticized.
Episode II has also come under serious fire because of distinct changes with the battle system. Some others argued the changes increased strategy required to win battles, others found that it was both unnecessarily slow and complicated.[11] At the same time, the new skill tree was considered by some to have been vastly "dumbed down" from the skill system in the first game.[12] Many of the skills are left unexplained as well, often leaving many players confused about their use.
In addition, Game Informer called Episode II "a dropped ball of Devil May Cry 2 proportions," citing similar critical and fan disappointment expressed with the aforementioned game.[13]

Phases of Earthquake Experience: A Case Study of the June 2000 South Iceland Earthquakes
Abstract:A case study of the impact factors of stress and relief in the wake of the south Iceland earthquakes in 2000 is presented. By applying axial coding analysis, the isolated concurrent and interplaying sociostructural impact factors were added sequentially to a time axis based on interviews with sufferers, as well as observations and a survey analysis. The data were obtained through a field survey using standardized questionnaires as well as numerous personal in-depth interviews, photographs, and field notes. An exposition of the different phases of the earthquake experience is presented, reflecting the victims' conscious and/or unconscious efforts to bring life back to "normal," though constantly burdened by a perceived lack of understanding of their experiences by "outsiders." The process was characterized by six main stress factors and three noteworthy mitigating factors. The findings are important for vulnerability and risk assessment as well as for planning pre-, pro-, and postearthquake reactions in the affected areas.

Hey there Cjayzz, I'm addressing this on your wall as to not let the topic get deflected into another possible debate.
Your reply to Malik is uncalled for. I'd only ask for you to be a bit more sensitive in that nature. Here on footytube we're striving to maintain a cleaner and well balanced forum. Regardless if you consider this banter or not it comes off as offensive.
I'd suggest you reedit this or we'll have to take this down ourselves.
This was your response below....

Slow box office hurts Cinemark's first quarter
Cinemark missed the mark with a disappointing first-quarter report. The theater chain said the cause was lower ticket sales and concession revenue for the dip.
The theater is probably not to blame for the less-than-stellar financials due to a slow start out of the gate for many Hollywood releases. Business should pick up with last week's release of "Iron Man 3," which earned the number-two spot on the all-time earner list, and continue through a summer of animated and superhero titles.
Cinemark's first-quarter earnings decreased to $32.6 million, compared with $42.1 million year-over-year. Revenue was $547 million, down from $578.8 million at the same time last year.
Cinemark was one of the first theaters to ban transfats at its concessions, but that didn't help with sales. Concession revenue was at $172.4 million for the quarter, compared with $179.8 million one year ago.
The company's CEO was optimistic about Cinemark's outlook on a call with analysts.
"Cinemark's worldwide box office results outperformed the North American industry box office for the first quarter...and has now outperformed the industry for 15 out of the past 16 consecutive quarters on a currency adjusted basis," said Tim Warner, Cinemark's CEO. "Our international segment reported admissions revenue growth of 7.1 percent this quarter, reiterating the long-term growth opportunity provided by this segment."
The average ticket price for the quarter increased to $6.09 and concession revenue per patron was up to $3. During the quarter, Cinemark operated 467 movie theaters with 5,259 screens. The company has commitments to open 22 new venues with 195 screens in 2013.

Opengear Extends Remote Infrastructure Products to Businesses Using Sprint Managed Network Solutions
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANDY, UT and OVERLAND PARK, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 01/21/14 -- Opengear (
a leading provider of critical infrastructure management solutions through advanced console servers, remote management, monitoring, and cellular out-of-band products, today announced a key extension of its ACM5000 remote infrastructure management product line with the arrival of the ACM5004-GS. This new addition to the Opengear family gives enterprise users 3G connectivity that has been tested and certified for use on the Sprint (NYSE: S) wireless network. Sprint Managed Network Solutions customers can use the ACM5004-GS as an alternative to a wired connection that enables Sprint to remotely access and troubleshoot their managed routers. This option offers a lower total cost of ownership and ease of setup over a typical wired phone line connection.
The ACM5004-GS offers integrated cellular and wired access to remote infrastructures, allowing IT managers a host of connectivity options to easily manage critical infrastructure at local and remote sites -- helping to ensure uptime and business continuity. The first in the ACM5000 line to be Sprint-certified, the ACM5004-GS expands coverage choices for Opengear customers.
The integration of the ACM5004-GS with Sprint's Managed Network Solutions provides scalable support and monitoring services for enterprise networks. This falls in line with a decided uptick in managed services adoption, which is expected to double by 2018 as companies outsource services to reduce CAPEX and free up internal resources. Sprint is meeting this need with comprehensive Managed Network Solutions bundled with MPLS transport and customer premise equipment to help transform businesses while increasing workforce mobilization, enterprise flexibility and productivity at lowered operating costs.
"We're thrilled to integrate the speed and breadth of Sprint's network into our ACM5000 stable of remote infrastructure management gateways," said Rick Stevenson, CEO, Opengear. "Redundant cellular network connections are now cost competitive with legacy modem lines, and this product certification furthers our mission of providing enterprise users with a reliable, fast and cost competitive connection option for remote critical network infrastructure." "Sprint's managed network services are a natural complement to Opengear's hardware solutions," said Craig Safir, director of cloud and converged markets, Sprint. "We're pleased to introduce a wireless option for out-of-band that is simple to install and reduces the monthly connectivity costs for businesses. Add this to our simplified pricing and customized approach to managing customer networks with a single account team that understands converged, cloud and mobility solutions." The ACM5004-GS provides serial console-port connectivity, environmental monitoring, power management and monitoring, and remote storage of offline logs and running configuration files. As with other products in the ACM5000 family, it also includes environmental sensor support, a cellular modem that enables out-of-band access, automated remote monitoring and management, and enterprise grade security. Additionally, the ACM5004-GS comes with a USB 2.0 port, 4GB of flash storage, and a TFTP/FTP server.
Sprint's comprehensive suite of Managed Solutions includes Managed Network, Managed IP Telephony and Managed Security. The managed services portfolio complements Sprint Cloud services, including Sprint Complete Collaboration (Unified Communications as a Service) and Sprint CloudCompute (Infrastructure as a Service). For more information on Sprint managed services, MPLS, converged and cloud solutions, visit www.sprint.com/convergence or contact your Sprint account team. To join in the latest discussions and learn more about business solutions available through wireline convergence, visit the Seamless Enterprise at www.seamlessenterprise.com.
About OpengearFounded in 2004, Opengear designs, manufactures and delivers the most feature-rich, cost-effective, flexible solutions for secure remote infrastructure management.

Rondo leads Celts to 107-102 win over Heat
BOSTON (AP)—Even without Paul Pierce(notes), the Boston Celtics had too much for Dwyane Wade(notes) and the Miami Heat.
Rajon Rondo(notes) had 22 points and 14 assists, Kevin Garnett(notes) had a season-high nine assists, and Tony Allen(notes) made a key steal in the final minute to help the Celtics beat the Heat 107-102 on Wednesday night.
Pierce watched from the bench in street clothes after spraining his left foot Monday night. Garnett played in just his seventh game after missing 10 because of a knee injury. And backup guard Marquis Daniels(notes) missed his 27th straight game with a thumb injury that required surgery.
"It plays with the rhythm of your team," Garnett said. "For the most part, we haven't even been at full strength."
Allen started in place of Pierce, Boston's leading scorer, and stripped the ball from Wade near the Miami free-throw line with 37 seconds left. He was fouled and made both shots for a 99-94 lead. That forced the Heat to foul and the Celtics scored their last eight points on free throws, five by Ray Allen(notes), to improve to 31-16, best in the Atlantic Division.
"I just reached my left hand out there and got the steal, hit the two free throws, and that was the game," Tony Allen said.
Wade led the Heat with 30 points and 13 assists but committed six turnovers.
"We went through a stretch where we didn't hit enough shots," he said. "We fought back, but we gave up too wide of a gap."
Rondo was the main reason the Celtics held off the Heat.
He hit a 3-pointer at the 24-second buzzer to make it 60-58 early in the third quarter and the Celtics never trailed after that, although Miami stayed close. Boston won its second straight game after losing three in a row, while Miami lost for the fifth time in six games.
Allen scored 23 points, and Garnett added 14. Rafer Alston(notes) and Udonis Haslem(notes) each scored 15 for Miami.
The Celtics continually found the open man, getting 29 assists on 37 field goals.
"It was contagious," Rondo said. "We shared the ball tonight and played very unselfishly."
The last time the teams met, the Celtics won 112-106 on Jan. 6 after Rondo's layup on a pass from Pierce a split-second before the fourth-quarter buzzer sent the game into overtime. Rondo finished that game with 25 points.
Pierce missed the rematch after being hurt in a 99-88 win at Washington and is expected to sit out at least one more game.
Wade gave the Heat one last chance when his 3-pointer cut Boston's lead to 105-102 with 7 seconds left, but Ray Allen secured the win with two free throws with 4.9 seconds to go.
Miami dropped below .500 at 24-25 after the opener of a stretch of eight road games and just one home game. Wade wasn't thinking about the losing record.
"This is a tough road trip we are on. We have to focus game to game," said Wade, whose right knee was wrapped in ice afterward.
Jermaine O'Neal(notes) returned after missing the previous game with back spasms.
"We have several guys in there who are wounded warriors," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said, but "We're not unique."
With the score tied at 74 entering the fourth quarter, the Celtics scored the first five points. They led 82-78 after Wade hit a free throw, then scored the next six points on a short jumper by Rasheed Wallace(notes) followed by a dunk and a layup by Kendrick Perkins(notes) that gave them the biggest lead of the game, 88-78 with 6:36 to go.
With 2.3 seconds left in the first half, Michael Beasley(notes) tied it at 51 with a 3-pointer. Then Daequan Cook(notes) fouled Rondo near midcourt with 0.3 seconds left and the point guard hit two of three shots for a 53-51 halftime lead.
Notes: Both teams hit more than 51 percent of their shots in the first half. … The Celtics swept the season series 3-0. … Boston outrebounded Miami 53-38 with six Celtics getting at least five apiece.

We need to know: Did Saudis help fund 9/11 attacks?
Do Americans have the right to learn whether a foreign government helped finance the 9/11 attacks? A growing number of congressmen and senators are demanding that a 28-page portion of a 2002 congressional report finally be declassified. The Obama administration appearsto be resisting, and the stakes are huge. What is contained in those pages could radically change Americans' perspective of the War on Terror.

In a speech last Friday, Erdogan vowed that Turkey would not accept a move by Syrian Kurds to set up their own state in Syria following gains by Kurdish fighters against the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS, in recent weeks. "I am saying this to the whole world: We will never allow the establishment of a state on our southern border in the north of Syria," Erdogan said. "We will continue our fight in that respect whatever the cost may be." He accused Syrian Kurds of ethnic cleansing in Syrian areas under their control.

fast track passes and symbolically the rig count increases for the 1st time this year...
the entire package of trade bills, including the "fast-track" trade authority that will allow unamendable treaties to be signed for the next 6 years, passed Congress in pretty much the manner we speculated they would when we discussed them last week...on Tuesday, 13 Democrats teamed with 47 Republicans to cut off debate on the stand alone fast track bill that had passed the House on Thursday of last week, which precluded any filibuster and made way for final passage of the same bill on Wednesday by a 60 to 38 vote...at the same time they passed a renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) paired with Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for displaced workers by a voice vote after it had earlier passed a cloture vote by a 76-22 count...then that same TAA bill, which had been defeated in the House by a 302 to 126 vote two weeks ago, passed the House by a 286-138 vote after Democratic leader Pelosi withdrew her opposition to it since the House Democrats no longer had anything to gain from holding it back...
with Trade Promotion Authority now in place, we'll probably see easy passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) between the US, Japan, and the other Pacific rim countries later this year, probably followed by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the European Union, and the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) with a total of 51 countries worldwide, maybe sometime in 2016...after that, what the corporations cook up and push through during the first term of the Jeb Bush administration should bring the entire planet under the corporate-written rules, which will trump the laws of the signatory nations...my most recent rant about these trade deals is here; there's no point in warning about them again, now that they've been given the green light....in terms of how these deals will affect the fracking that is the concern of this group, the first two of these agreements will effectively mandate exports of our oil and gas resources to the signatory nations and therefore the initial signings will unleash a new torrent of oil & gas fracking activity to meet that demand, as US producers ramp up production to take advantage of higher gas and oil prices overseas; subsequently, those exports will reduce our domestic supply and correspondingly drive US energy prices up to the levels of the rest of the world...for example, as of the end of this week, import prices of LNG in Japan were $12.13 mmBTU, while the contract US natural gas price was $2.77 mmBTU; with the trade deal between the two in place, US producers will export to Japan rather than sell to US customers until those prices, allowing for processing and shipping costs, nearly equalize...
in the current oil & gas patch news, the past week saw the first increase since December 5th in the total number of rigs operating in the US, even though the number of oil rigs in service fell for the 29th week in a row...the rig count as reported by Baker Hughes increased by 2 to 859 rigs after dropping by 2 last week, with oil rigs down by 3 to 628 while gas rigs were up by 5 to 228 and miscellaneous rigs were unchanged at 3; those counts were down from 1558 oil rigs and 334 gas rigs a year ago, while the miscellaneous rig count rose from 1 a year ago...even with the increase, the week still saw a shift away from costly horizontal drilling, as rigs working in the major shale plays fell by 10, with the horizontal rig total falling by 8 to 654, while 7 vertical and 3 directional rigs were added, bringing the count of those types of rigs up to 107 and 98 respectively..land based rigs fell by 1 to 824, while 2 rigs were added on inland waters and one drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico was reactivated...
the increase in rigs was concentrated in Louisiana, where drillers added 6 rigs, including the 3 on water, to bring the state total to 75; while 2 rigs were added in Mississippi, which now has 3...single rigs were also added in West Virginia, which now has 20 working, Alaska, which now has 10, and New Mexico, where 44 rigs are operating...meanwhile, drillers in Ohio shut down 3 rigs, leaving 17 running, as did drillers in North Dakota, where 74 remain...two more rigs were also stacked in Texas, where they still have 361, but which is down from 889 a year ago, and a single rig was shut down in Illinois, which is back down to 2....these changes cut the rigs in the Utica shale by 3 to 19, down from 43 a year ago, reduced the Bakken shale rigs by 3 to 74, down from 178 last year, cut the Permian basin rigs by 2 to 231, down from 554, cut the Mississippian rigs by 2 to 20, down from 77 a year ago, reduced the Granite Wash rigs by 2 to 14, down from 72 a year ago, and cut one each from the Barnett and Eagle Ford shale plays, bringing the count in those basins down to 5 and 103 respectively, down from 25 and 214 respectively a year ago...meanwhile, single rigs were added in the Haynesville shale of Louisiana, where they now have 27, down from 41 a year ago, in the Marcellus, which now has 65, vs 82 a year ago, and in the Cana Woodford of Oklahoma, where they now have 33, up from 26 a year ago, as two of the three Woodford shale plays are the only basins that have seen a year over year increases in drilling rigs...
since we haven't looked at a picture of the historical track of the oil rig count in quite a while, we'll include a current version below, which comes from Friday's article on this week's rig count at the Business Insider...you'll note that the US oil rig count was below 200 for more than 3 years until horizontal drilling & fracking started taking off in 2005, and subsequently rose to over 400 in late 2008 before the recession hit, at which time oil crashed to $35 a barrel and more than half of the rigs running then were stacked...the oil rig count then began rising again in 2009 to top 1400 in 2012 and then moved up gradually until it peaked at 1609 on October 10th of last year...as you can see, it's been all downhill from there...now we're nearly at a 5 year low; we'd have to go back to August 6, 2010 to find a week when less rigs were running than the 628 that were working on June 26th of this year...(btw, natural gas rigs peaked at 1,606 on August 29, 2008, after natural gas prices spiked to over $13 mmBTU, but i haven't seen a chart for that rig count crash)
meanwhile, US field production of crude oil rose during the third week in June to an average of 9,604,000 barrels per day, up from 9,589,000 barrels a day last week but short of the record pace of 9,610,000 barrels per day we saw in the first week of June; however, that was still 13.7% higher than the 8,446 ,000 barrel per day of field crude production seen in the third week of June last year...meanwhile our imports of crude oil fell by 302,000 barrels per day to 6,623,000 barrels a day in this report, after rising 444,000 barrels per day last week; while that's down 7.8% from the same week last year, weekly crude imports are so volatile that we check the weekly Petroleum Status Report (62 pp pdf) for the 4 week average, which at an average of roughly 7,000,000 barrels a day, leaves our imports 3.5% below the same 4 week period last year...with US refineries operating at a summertime 94.0% of capacity last week, gasoline production rose by 283,000 barrels per day to 9,934,000 barrels per day and our inventories of crude oil (excluding the strategic reserve) dropped for the 8th week in a row, falling by 4,934,000 barrels and leaving ending stocks 1.1% lower at 462,993,000 barrels as of June 19th; however, that's still 19.3% more oil than we had stored in the same week a year ago, and still near levels not seen at this time of year in at least the past 80 years...and as those inventories of crude are being drawn down, inventories of refined products are rising...in this most recent week, total motor gasoline inventories increased by 0.7 million barrels and are near the top of their normal range, distillate fuel inventories increased by 1.8 million barrels and are near their seasonal average and propane/propylene inventories rose 1.3 million barrels last week and are well above the upper limit of their average range..

US military admits it carried out secret race-based experiments to test impact of mustard gas on US soldiers
Up to 60,000 men were enlisted for a programme, declassified in 1993, to test mustard gas and other chemicals agents on US troops.
But National Public Radio reported that the Pentagon has for the first time admitted that it grouped its test subjects by race as it believed African American and Puerto Rican US troops might respond to the poisonous gas different to white soldiers.

fast track passed the House; what's next in the Senate...
it appears that the international corporate trade deals are moving forward again, after last week's setback...initially, Boehner's planned Tuesday re-vote on the defeated trade adjustment assistance (TAA) bill was abandoned after consulting with Obama, and plans at midweek were to postpone the House vote on the issue for 6 weeks, so as to coincide with the July 30th expiration of the Highway Trust Fund authorization...that's because in helping defeat the TAA on Friday, Pelosi never said that she intended to stop TPA (trade promotion authority, aka "fast track"), but rather slow it down, and gave indications that Democrats would be willing to allow fast track on trade in exchange for a long term highway funding bill...however, on Thursday, when the national news media was preoccupied with coverage of the Charleston church shooting, the House took a vote on a stand alone version of TPA, which the House Rules Committee had attached to H.R.2146, an uncontroversial police and firemen retirement bill the night before...with 28 Democrats joining all but 50 Republicans, that fast track bill was passed by a 218 to 208 margin and sent to the Senate..
now, as you'll recall, the Senate defeated just such a stand-alone fast track bill a bit over a month ago, and then turned around and passed it when the TAA, a displaced worker assistance bill, which Republicans tended to oppose, was coupled with it...so now, for this House fast track bill to pass the Senate, at least a handful of the Senate Democrats who originally voted against a stand alone TPA will have to switch their votes to for it, and to do that they must be convinced that the TAA bill that they wanted will pass separately....there are at least two ploys being discussed to achieve that; one would be to link TAA with the bill extending the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for 10 years; the AGOA, first passed 15 years ago, allows favored African exports, such as clothing and textiles, to enter the US mostly duty-free, and it is usually renewed with broad bi-partisan support...another possibility would be to couple TAA with a reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, which finances and insures foreign purchases of US goods, many from Democratic states, and which the Republicans have blocked up until now...presumably, if one or both of these carrots could be dangled in front of the Democrats, enough of them would snap at that lure such that both the House passed stand alone TPA and a TAA bill combined with one of these other trade bills could pass the Senate...then, the TAA bill, with whatever it's attached to, would have to go back to the House for a vote, where it is assumed that a bill with mostly Democrat party initiatives could pass easily, assuming Boehner's co-operation...
within hours of the House passage of the TPA bill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed a cloture motion on it, meaning it could come up for a vote as early as Tuesday...however, it's questionable whether Democrats would switch their votes merely on an assurance from McConnell and Boehner that the bargain chip TAA would be allowed to pass; the trustworthiness is just not there...for instance, Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell voted for fast track earlier based on a promise that the Senate would reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, providing financing needed for foreign Boeing jet purchases; that hasnt happened, and it could thus be a case of "once burnt, twice shy" for Senators who would otherwise allow themselves to be compromised...so we can hope that there is at least enough bad blood among our congresscritters to at least slow this thing down...nonetheless, now that Obama has opportunistically switched parties and has become a Republican, it appears that with a majority of his party in both houses he should eventually be able to push his corporatocratic agenda through...from there, we're probably less than a year away from ramping up exports of our oil and gas to the 11 other countries on the Pacific rim that will be signatories to the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), and then to the rest of the world, as soon as similar treaties can be signed with them...
meanwhile, the ongoing reduction in working drilling rigs nearly stalled this week, as the rig count as reported by Baker Hughes was only down by 2 to 857, with oil rigs down 4 to 631, gas rigs up 2 to 223, and miscellaneous rigs unchanged at 3...that's still an unprecedented 28 straight weeks of less drilling each week than the one before it, but we wouldn't be surprised if that reverses itself soon and drillers begin to add more rigs than they idle, especially if oil prices rise or even stay as stable as they have been...contract US oil prices were within 50 cents of $60 a barrel this week, and they've generally been within a few bucks of that price since mid-April, so the incentives to start or stop drilling haven't changed much recently, and we'd think that all of the rigs that were working plays that were unprofitable at $60 should have been shut down by now...the 857 rigs that were running this week is now down by 1001 from a year ago, and 914 of those shutdowns were in the oil patch..
on net, there was one less horizontal rig and one less vertical rig in operation in the US this week than last, leaving 662 horizontal, 100 vertical, and 95 directional rigs running at week end, down from 1250 horizontal, 380 vertical, and 228 directional rigs that were in operation a year earlier...two oil rigs working offshore in the Gulf were idled this week; that left 825 land based, 27 offshore, and 5 rigs on inland waters remaining, which was down from 1784 land based, 59 offshore rigs, and 15 rigs on inland waters a year ago...north of the border, Canadian drillers added 9 rigs, all land based, with their oil rigs up 6 to 74 and their gas rigs up 3 to 62.
five states saw rig reductions this week; Louisiana was down by 2 offshore to a total of 69, New Mexico, down was by 2 to 43, Oklahoma was down by 2 to 105, Wyoming was down 1 to 21 and Ohio was down 1 to 20...on the other hand, drillers in Utah added 2 to bring their total to 8, and 4 states added one each: Alaska, now at 10, Illinois now at 3, North Dakota now with 77, and Pennsylvania with 47...rig counts in all other states, including Texas, were unchanged, but that doesn't mean they were stagnant; based on the counts from the districts, Texas saw at a minimum 5 rigs shut down, and 5 rigs started elsewhere in the state...
there were also only modest decreases in our oil output and stocks this week as well...US field production of crude oil slipped by 21,000 barrels per day from the record output of last week to an average of 9,589,000 barrels per day during the week ending June 12th; however, that's still 13.8% above the 8,428,000 barrels per day output we saw during the second week of June a year ago...our oil stocks fell too, as they normally do at this time of year...our inventories of crude oil in storage were lower for the 7th consecutive week, falling by 2,676,000 barrels to 467,927,000 barrels; but again, that's still 21.1% higher than the 386,348,000 barrels we had stored a year ago, and the highest stocks ever for the 2nd week of June in over 80 years of EIA record keeping...meanwhile, with US refineries still running at 93.1% of their operable capacity, our crude oil imports rose by 444,000 barrels per day, or 6.7%, from an average of 6,623,000 barrels a day last week to 7,067,000 barrels per day in this report....that's still below last year's pace, though; according to the weekly Petroleum Status Report (62 pp pdf), our crude oil imports averaged 6.9 million barrels per day over the last 4 weeks, which is now per 5.3% below the same four-week period of last year....

Pulled it from this old thread: "Full Auto 2 = FUN!"
I only played the original demo (Full Auto 1 on the 360), but never bought it, even though it was fun, I wasn't sure the full game woul hold my interest long and coupled with the bad reviews or opinions.
But I thought I'd give this one a try, I mean I just got the PS3 and not much to choose from anyway.
And from what I played so far, I really like it. It's just fun and satisfying. The levels were much more than races like I was expecting, but missions at the same time, with the normal attackers, then more come onto the scene, some amushing head on, mini bosses that jump onto the scene, all while going 100mph with destruction everywhere. Some missions you have someone to protect, take out a rival, then the deathmatches in these huge arenas are a nice break from the racing.
You usually get to have two weapons, that you get to pick. Depending on the vehicle stats on which weapons you can load .From the original Full Auto, the demo on the 360 forced you to pick a car, which resulted in a default machine gun and one special ability, so if you wanted to rockets, you had to pick that car. But here, you can customize the weapons, and plan ahead by the durability of the car, speed and handling for the mission ahead. And in arenas there are a couple bonus weapons like motars or firebomb, also unlimited ammo so no heatup or unlimited boost.
The graphics are great too. I don't know what the other person said, but on an HDTV, 55inch LCD, the textures can be razor sharp in this game, more than any game I've seen. And it has great AA too, hardly any jaggies, makes the game look too good in pauses like you see from the stills. The road has a super fine texture at times for example, buildings look great, vehicles have a great amout of detail. I'm pleased with the graphics of this game. And the amout of destruction is great again, stray bullets and rockets knock walls off with plenty of small fragments, tons of glass, huge razor sharp cracks in the ground from explosions. This game is just crisp.
Framerate, it's good, chugs sometimes, but not enough to complain. Only problem I have is that it stutters now and then, from auto camera pans after a race, to sometimes racing, but not there in replays. Speaking of replays, I hate how it's connect to your car. While it's nice to have a instant replay whenever you want, but it's often to see something else that happened and have the camera locked onto your car with limited distance is annyoing, I wish it could move freely or change to another car. And I guess no full replay of an entire race.
Once I got past all the roughness of some stuttering issues I played it all day yesterday.

Comfortable & convenient
Comfortable, cute boutique hotel with modestly-sized yet cared-for rooms. Sofia is located right at the top end of San Diego's night life area. Walking distance to the waterfront, Little Italy, Balboa Park, Petco Park. Plenty of choice nearby for
food, drinks. It is a winner!
Spike Africa's - Fresh fish grill & bar
Great location
Location was perfect, we we're able to walk to Gas Lamp district and Little Italy for great food and entertainment. Just a couple of blocks to San Diego bay for a bike ride to Sea Port Village. The room was very clean and bed was comfortable. The
air conditioner was a bit noisy but I'm a very light sleeper so it may not bother most people. Breakfast was really good at the Currant and the bar was nice. We would stay here again.
San Diego for work
Hotel was good value, in a good location and staff were very friendly. Only surprise was the extra $9 service charge per day charged on top of what was pre-paid, and a $34 valet charge per day.
A good place to stay at.
Everything is good about this hotel except the walls. They are a bit thin and you can hear loud noice from the room next door. Other than that everything is good. The hotel is very pet friendly.
Gaslamp Lou and Mickeys has great steaks.
A lovely hotel with a great restaurant
I called and had no problems with a late arrival. The room was not particularly spacious and for two people it would have been a bit crowded, but the bed was oh so comfortable - the shower was amazing with a rain shower head directly from the
ceiling. The amenities are amazing with free yoga classes, free bicycles, tours on the weekends. The restaurant attached had amazing food. - Really a very nice stay - Thank you
Great location.
The Sofia Hotel was in close proximity to the Gas Lamp district, Little Italy, Zoo and the waterfront. We had an amazing time and experience and would definitely stay there again.
Hotel review
The hotel is a few blocks from the main area of the gaslamp which is nice. There are a variety of restaurants within walking distance from cheap to expensive. The hotel has a bar and restaurant. The staff was all very helpful and welcoming. They
bicycles you an borrow for 3 hours which was great to ride down to the ships and museum along the harbor and not worry about parking. We went to the farmers market in little Italy about 4 blocks away and had some good food and people watching. Yes the room are comfortable, but they are small. They do a good job with designing it so you have what you need all within that space. The hotel area is Great but our "city view" room looked out onto the courthouse which was not so wonderful. The hotel offers complimentary yoga a few times a week and has a yoga room and gym available to guests. I loved that! I will definitely stay here again. We got a great last min deal too
Other reviews said valet and self parking were the same price but it was actually $10 difference and the lot is right next to the building.
Weekend getaway
Met my expectations, nice place just to relax all day in!! The only thing they might want to add, is a swimming pool.
Gas Lamp District.
Nice stay and great location
The rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. The location is great...the Gaslamp Quarter is just a few blocks away and you can easily walk to the Midway Museum and Seaport Village. Ideal for a single or couple, but I can't image the rooms being
large enough for a family. As for me, no complaints, I found it to be everything as advertised and the perfect location.
Quick overnight getaway
My fiance came down from L.A. for an overnight stay in San Diego to see friends and go to the Spirits Festival. The location is perfect for just walking around and exploring the gas lamp area and in close proximity to the water! The hotel itself
is very small but that's all in it's charm. The room was on the smaller size but very clean and everything we needed was provided for. The little restaurant downstairs ended up being a great spot for happy and had EXCELLENT service! We would definitely consider this place on our next visit to the area.
