mcwhirter.com.au/ craige/ blog/ 2013/ LDAP and Self Signed SSL Certificates
LDAP and Self Signed SSL Certificates
At times you will need to use self-signed SSL certificates for services that are generally not public facing, primarily because it's convenient and saves a few thousand dollars every year, depending on the scale of your deployment.
By default, many LDAP services in Linux will reject self-signed certificates. To tell your machine otherwise, you need to add the following line to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf in Debian or Ubuntu and /etc/ldap.conf in Centos:
TLS_REQCERT allow
You should now have hassle free OpenLDAP via SSL connectivity.

Teeth Whitening Brisbane
If you are unhappy with the colour of your teeth, our experienced Brisbane dentists will assess you for the appropriate treatments for you. Teeth whitening can get your smile looking its very best. Whether you choose our in office, tooth whitening procedure or home teeth whitening, your teeth can be dramatically whiter.
In Office Dentist Whitening
For a brighter, whiter smile without the wait, Opalescence Teeth Whitening can be performed in just one appointment. The in-office, dentist whitening procedure is safe and effective. At Windsor Smiles you can enjoy immediate results and a younger, whiter smile!
We use the Opalescence Boost! Chairside Whitening System, which is is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. It is a scientifically advanced, chemically activated teeth bleaching treatment which allows the dentist to whiten your teeth without the uncomfortable heat or ultraviolet rays of a light. Opalesence Teeth Whitening is completed in just over one hour at the dentist. Sensitvity is minimised, although you may experience temporary sensitivity for a few hours after your procedure.
We recommend that all patients complete a hygiene appointment prior to undertaking the in-office dentist whitening procedure. This ensures that your teeth surfaces are clean before treatment for the best results.
A complimentary home maintenance kit is also provided. This allows you to boost the whitening effects if you desire, and to maintain the white smile once a year.
Home Teeth Whitening
Home Teeth Whitening allows you to whiten your teeth at your convenience in a safe, effective, and customized way. We create custom fitted bleaching trays for your top and bottom teeth. You are then provided with the Opalescence gel and are instructed in their use. Generally you will start to see results in about 7 days of the 2 week home tooth whitening program. Compared to the in-chair, dentist whitening procedure, the results are more gradual but you can still get a significant improvement in the brightness of your smile.
The benefit of the home teeth bleaching system is that you will gradually get a cost-effective, beautiful, whiter and brighter result.

GOTTA DANCE! Exhibit at Jacob's Pillow Celebrates Vintage Movie Poster Art, Summer 2014
The art of the dance movie poster is celebrated at Jacob's Pillow this summer with GOTTA DANCE!, an extraordinary exhibit of vintage posters from throughout the world. The posters, which feature stars such as Gene Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Cyd Charisse, Eleanor Powell, and Astaire & Rogers, were selected from the personal collection of one of the genre's foremost experts, award-winning campaign designer and producer Mike Kaplan. GOTTA DANCE! includes a special six-poster salute to Marge and Gower Champion on the occasion of Marge Champion's 95th birthday.
A lavishly illustrated limited edition art book has been published to coincide with the exhibition, which is free and open to the public throughout the summer at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, now through August 24. Kaplan will also participate in a free PillowTalk on June 27, 5pm to 6pm.
Mike Kaplan comments, "The ideal poster is a microcosm of the movie itself, capturing with inventiveness the feeling one has after leaving the cinema. It should be both a work of art and a souvenir of one's movie experience." While the motion picture is recognized as the most influential art form of the 20th century, the movie poster has seldom received the recognition it deserves. GOTTA DANCE! focuses on the film poster as a unique art form and celebrates the ways in which dance and dancing have been used as a dominant promotional image for both musical and non-musical films.
Director of Preservation Norton Owen collaborated with Kaplan to create this exhibition as a special tribute to Marge Champion, who donated the exhibition's venue to Jacob's Pillow more than 20 years ago. Blake's Barn was moved to the Pillow from Champion's property in Stockbridge as a memorial to her son, Blake, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1987. "Hosting Mike Kaplan's eye-popping collection in Marge's milestone year seemed like the perfect way to salute her generosity to the Pillow and her ongoing presence in our lives."
Design aesthetics and historic significance are the standards of the collection, which is comprised of sixty distinct pieces of varying size and rarity. Signature pieces include an original French poster for An American in Paris (1951), previously owned by Gene Kelly; a young Jimmy Stewart with Eleanor Powell in Born to Dance (1936); an iconic image of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in elegant evening attire for Carefree (1938); Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in caricaturist Al Hirschfeld's design for Strike Up the Band (1940); and the only poster to spotlight The Nicholas Brothers, executing a dazzling, acrobatic tap routine on the Italian single folio for The Great American Broadcast (1941). Many original interpretations of American films come from overseas; examples from Argentina, Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden will be on display alongside their American cousins.
Non-musical discoveries range from ballerina Greta Garbo in the German Grand Hotel (1932) and Lillian Gish peering at the dancing couples in La Bohème (1926) to Laurel and Hardy in Jitterbugs (1943) and the sensual teaming of George Raft and Carole Lombard in the exquisite Swedish Bolero (1934). Dynamic graphics highlight many of the screen's most talented star dancers and performers: from Shirley Temple to Marilyn Monroe and James Cagney to Elvis Presley. Other notable performers include Katherine Dunham, Margot Fonteyn, Lena Horne, Audrey Hepburn, Carmen Miranda, Rudolf Nureyev, and Frank Sinatra.

DLC is a very controversial topic among gamers. Some argue that DLC is a good thing and others will swear that DLC is the biggest abomination to hit the game industry.
I feel as DLC can go either way. I support DLC when it is done right in that it expands upon the game and is developed after the game is finished up. If it is to add in stuff that couldn't make it due to time constraints or to expand upon an already completed game, then I am all for it. Fallout 3 illustrate this very well, so much so that Masahiro Sakurai, director of the Super Smash Bros. series, is using Fallout 3's method of DLC should SSB 3DS & Wii U get DLC (which is unknown, but he has confirmed there is no current plans for it, although hasn't ruled it out yet). Fire Emblem: Awakening I feel is in the middle. The DLC contents are stuff that expand upon the game, but I am weary of the fact that the DLC was obviously implemented during development of the full game. It doesn't totally deter me from a game, but it does give me second thoughts about using the DLC (unless I really, really liked the said game and wanted more).
Then there are ones that are made to screw over customers. Killer Instinct 3 is a game that I feel doesn't use DLC to enhance gamers's experience but to maximize profit at the cost of gamers because it overcharge for not enough contents. This has turned me off from the game and only serve as a reminder that Rare's franchise from pre-Microsoft days are dead to me. Capcom has also done DLCs to screw over customers and it along with Mega Man's exclusion was why I did not get Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. I never buy games that charges for contents that should have been in the final game.

text: Mobile HTC One, the best Android phone on the market, hits Verizon on Aug. 22 Above: The HTC One smartphoneImage Credit: Devindra Hardawar/VentureBeat August 16, 2013 7:32 AM Sean Ludwig 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. The flashy HTC One Android smartphone will finally make its way to Verizon Wireless on Aug. 22, the company said via Twitter today. The HTC One costs $200 with a two-year contract. By all accounts, the HTC One is the best Android smartphone on the market right now. Yes, better than the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the new Motorola Moto X. So it makes sense to have one of the best smartphones ever on all carriers possible, especially Verizon, which has more subscribers than AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. HTC is currently spending close to $1 billion on a new campaign starring Robert Downey Jr. to rebrand HTC as a fun company that lets you choose what HTC stands for. The company is doing this despite its horrendous earnings, but likely it wants to drum up more support for the HTC One and convince more people to try it out. If you're not a fan of HTC One on a carrier and want the phone unlocked, you can also buy it from Google for $600. What makes this version so nice is that it has stock Android preloaded on it instead of the HTC's custom Android skin. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

DeMarcus Cousins was ejected in the third quarter of the Sacramento KingsŌĆÖ loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, but the center insists he was not at fault. After he was called for a foul on UtahŌĆÖs Enes Kanter that he disagreed with, Cousins earned his first technical of the night by slapping the ball out of KanterŌĆÖs hands. The second technical came when he disagreed with a call and appeared to say something to referee Gary Zielinski, earning himself an ejection. However, Cousins insisted on Monday that he ŌĆ£didnŌĆÖt say a wordŌĆØ to Zielinski and it was actually the official who swore at him. ŌĆ£The referee cursed at me,ŌĆØ the 22-year-old told The Sacramento Bee. ŌĆ£He told me to go (expletive) ask the other referee (about the first technical foul). I was going to say something back, kept my cool and walked away and still end up with a technical. So I still donŌĆÖt understand.ŌĆØ In fact, after watching the replay Cousins says he came to the conclusion that the ref TŌĆÖed him up simply because of his reputation. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs DeMarcus Cousins, so letŌĆÖs ŌĆśTŌĆÖ him up,ŌĆØ he said sarcastically. Cousins has been known for having an attitude problem since he came into the league in 2010, and it was basically the main reason he was left off the Team USA basketball roster in London. As the tattoo he got represents, DeMarcus feels as though a lot of people donŌĆÖt understand him. In a sense heŌĆÖs right ŌĆö officials more than likely have a quicker trigger with him because of his past. But it will take a lot more time and a lot less complaining to shake that reputation.

Masahiro Tanaka first in majors to 12 wins; fails to notch quality start for first time in MLB
Jul 3, 2014, 11:00 PM EDT
Masahiro Tanaka became the first pitcher in the majors to reach 12 wins after the Yankees defeated the Twins by the score of 7-4 tonight at Target Field, but he did so while failing to notch a quality start for the first time in MLB.
Tanaka gave up four earned runs and nine hits (both career-highs) and struck out just three batters (a career-low) over seven innings. And so, his quality start streak will end at 16. Still, it was the longest such streak to begin a career since Steve Rogers also had 16 straight quality starts with the Expos in 1973.
The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Yankees and brought them back to an even 42-42 for the year. Carlos Beltran launched a three-run homer in the victory while Zelous Wheeler homered and singled in his major league debut.
Tanaka began tonight's action tied with Felix Hernandez for the American League ERA lead at 2.10, but he's now sitting at 2.27 for the year. You could make a strong case for either to start the All-Star Game for the American League, but Tanaka's schedule might render the debate moot. He's currently lined up to start the final game before the All-Star break next Sunday.
- renaado - Jul 3, 2014 at 11:15 PM
Tanaka doesn't care about the record, just as long he saw his team win that day then it's alright with him… He'll make adjustments when facin the Twins next time. Cause this is a game he will surely remember.
- stlouis1baseball - Jul 7, 2014 at 11:23 AM
So you and Tanaka are tight huh Renaado? Cause that's some serious inside information!
- renaado - Jul 7, 2014 at 11:57 AM
"Four runs is way too many. I didn't pitch well at all but the team won. That's the important thing. I wasn't able to keep it (the quality-start streak) going, but there will be days when you win like today. That's baseball. It's no big deal."
I already know his personality quite well… I've been watchin him pitch in videos durin his time back in Japan with the Rakuten Eagles, I already know this quite hand cause I can understand a little bit of Japanese.
- campcouch - Jul 4, 2014 at 12:00 AM
Quality Start. Ridiculous stat. A win is a win.
- Kevin S. - Jul 4, 2014 at 4:40 AM
Pitcher Win. Ridiculous stat. How the offense performs in no way affects how the pitcher did.
- stlouis1baseball - Jul 7, 2014 at 11:34 AM
Get off the couch and you might learn to grasp what the hell a quality start is.
Otherwise, please know anytime a pitcher goes a full six innings and gives up no more than three earned runs…it's a good thing. A thing that allows his team to stay in (and potentially win) the ballgame. But as a bonus…it also allows you to save some bullpen arms!
I know…I know…shocking how ridiculous that is. You know what is even more ridiculous?
Nolan Ryan (you may or may not have heard of him)…coined the term "high quality start."
It's essentially the same but involves the pitcher going 7 full innings.
- micknangold - Jul 7, 2014 at 3:34 PM
Get off the couch is a funny phrase to use in this context.
- bkbell3 - Jul 4, 2014 at 1:47 AM
I guess the new guy was a little over Zelous? yea yea, I know, I couldn't help myself.lol
- jayquintana - Jul 4, 2014 at 2:29 AM
Cashman needs to make a big deal if the Yankees are to have a chance this year. The team, as currently construction, ain't going nowhere.
- uyf1950 - Jul 4, 2014 at 6:09 AM
Good to see Wheeler get into the action in his first game in the Majors going 2-4 with a HR and 2 Runs Scored. Now if he can just keep the good time rolling. As for Tanaka, he may not have had a "quality start" but he had a winning start. From this fans standpoint give me a winning start over a losing quality start every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
- nbjays - Jul 4, 2014 at 9:04 AM
Tanaka got lucky winning this one. If the Yankees gave him as little run support as they have been giving their other starters of late, he loses this one 4-1 or 4-2.
- mikhelb - Jul 4, 2014 at 11:51 AM
He already has loses and two ND in games where he pitched fine, with earned runs or less in ip or more (he already lost a 2-1 complete game). He has a run support below the league's ERA (lower RS than Félix Hernández) and has a better record than other players with similar ERA.

Is it possible to create fractals with SVG? I'd be fine even if its just handwritten.

Should theoretically be possible. Whatever you were using to generate the fractal could produce a list of points, optionally with an associated color value and/or size value for each. Those could be put into an SVG file to produce an image in either a pointilist style or a graphing-calculator-esque style.
Phone game idea available free to someone who will develop it (Alphadoku game - the only existing phone game of this type is both for windows phone only and awful. PM for details.)
I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.

It would have been impossible due to technical reasons regardless of the actual reason - at least prior to 2008. The XBOX 360 requires a 12x DVDROM drive by spec and the only HD DVDROM drives available in 2006-2007 could do 8x DVD max. So the HD DVDROM drives would be too slow for 360 games, it would not be able to keep up with asset streaming and whatnot (you'd have missing textures etc as the drive can't keep up with the gameplay).
If Blu Ray wins (and honestly they both are so similar that I cannot appreciate the difference to any great extent unless I was a video and audiophile), do you think an add on Blu Ray player would be produced by Microsoft? To me, it would be feeding Sony's bottom line and I do not perceive that happening. BTW, I own both formats.
Probably not. Releasing HD DVD addon was a win for them because it harmed Sony and did not harm MS much. Releasing BD addon would help Sony. I think instead Microsoft will focus on promoting the downloads market. The only time they will add Blu-ray is if they have been able to conclude without doubt that they need it in order to compete with Sony - I simply don't think that is the case, though.
We're all in it together.

Some 43 countries have agreed on non-binding rules for the restitution of property seized by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
The rules were presented Wednesday in Prague by Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer and the U.S. State Department adviser for Holocaust assets Stuart Eizenstat.
The document recommends the principles on which the restitution and compensation for the property of the Jewish victims of Nazi persecution should be based, according to the Prague Daily Monitor.
The recommendations deal with private real estate along with religious buildings and property such as synagogues, schools and cemeteries. They also state that private property without heirs should go to indigent Holocaust survivors, Eizenstat told the Monitor. About 250,000 survivors around the world live below the poverty line, he said.
Russia has said it will not follow the recommendations, as did Belarus, Serbia and Malta. Russia wants a reference to the postwar arrangements in Europe, according to the report.
European Union representatives signed the Terezin Declaration in 2009, during the Czech EU presidency, which calls for the restitution of the Holocaust victims' property, including private property.

Mayfield throws for 368, No. 20 Texas Tech rolls
LAWRENCE, Kan. Freshman sensation Baker Mayfield passed for 368 yards but was helped off the field with an apparent leg injury in the third quarter of No. 20 Texas Tech's 54-16 victory over Kansas on Saturday.
Mayfield, a true freshman walk-on who has started every game, was hurt at the end of the third quarter when tackled while passing. There was no penalty. He hobbled very slowly off the field with someone helping him under each arm.
He was 33 of 51 with one interception.
After falling behind 10-0 in the first quarter, the Red Raiders reeled off 54 straight points, going to 5-0 under first-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury for the first time since 2008.
Backup quarterback Davis Webb threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ward and a 4-yard scoring pass to Dylan Cantrell. The Red Raiders (5-0, 2-0 Big 12), also scored two touchdowns on short runs by DeAndre Washington.
It's the 22nd straight Big 12 loss by Kansas (2-2, 0-1), a span which coach Charlie Weis made a point of telling everybody all week would encompass 1,063 days by Saturday. The Jayhawks have not beaten a conference foe since rallying past Colorado on Nov. 6, 2010, and have not won against anybody currently in the Big 12 since beating Iowa State on Oct. 10, 2009.
Texas Tech rolled up 518 total yards on 100 plays. Eric Ward caught seven balls for 122 yards, tight end Jace Amaro caught nine for 96 and Jakeem Grant added seven catches for 92 yards for the Red Raiders, who are 14-1 all-time against Kansas.
Texas Tech took a 17-10 second-quarter lead after a play by Kansas punter Trevor Pardula that caught everyone by surprise - including, apparently, the Kansas coaches. Facing a fourth-and-12 from the Kansas 17, Pardula fielded the snap but instead of kicking took off running. The junior kicker, who two weeks earlier averaged a school-record 57.6 yards on five punts, was tackled on the 16. As Pardula was jogging to the sideline, Weis looked at him and raised his arms as if to say, "What the heck?"
A moment later, Mayfield scored almost untouched on a 19-yard quarterback draw.
Ryan Bustin kicked four field goals for the Red Raiders, making him 13 for 15 in five games.
Tech tied it 10-all on Kenny Williams' 1-yard run midway through the second quarter on a 42-yard drive aided by two key Kansas penalties. A roughing-the-passer infraction on defensive end Kevin Young gave Tech a first down on the 14, then Dexter McDonald was flagged for pass interference in the end zone.
Bustin made a 23-yarder to get the Red Raiders going in the second. He also had a 25-yarder as time ran out in the second quarter, giving Texas Tech a 20-10 halftime lead. In each instance, the Red Raiders failed to reach the end zone after driving to first-and-goal from inside the 10. Tech had a first down on the 8 but JaCorey Shepherd broke up Mayfield's third-down pass in the end zone.

By Kim Moss, for Future Directions International
Decades of exploration in East Africa, have produced few large discoveries of oil and gas. Past exploration has also been hampered by political uncertainty and regional conflict. Things look set to change, however.
Attention is now focusing on East Africa's offshore natural gas discoveries and this process escalated in 2012. The discoveries have garnered the attention of large international oil companies, which has led to investments in large exploration projects in the region. The gas finds have generated a marked interest, due not only to their size but also their placement in proximity to Asia. The discoveries have placed East Africa in the running to supply major Asian Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) importers, putting them in competition with the USA and Australia.
Where are these fields located and who are the primary players?
The primary areas of interest for oil and gas discoveries in east Africa, both onshore and offshore, are Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Madagascar. These countries have also shown the most progress in readying themselves for commercial development. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has predicted that Uganda and Madagascar are poised to become Africa's top oil producers. As this paper seeks to explore the opportunities available from offshore natural gas discoveries, however, the focus will be on Tanzania and Mozambique.
The primary offshore discoveries in East Africa have been off the coasts of Mozambique and Tanzania, where estimates indicate that the discoveries contain at least 100 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas. The finds, which have been equated to those off the North West Shelf of Western Australia, have attracted a variety of oil and gas companies, ranging from junior independents to oil majors. Several Australian companies are already involved in the region, primarily Tanzania, as both operators and joint venture partners on several projects. Energy, Beach Energy Limited (ASX:BPT), Jacka Resources Ltd (ASX:JKA) and BOUNTY OIL AND GAS (OTCMKTS:BYOGF), are all involved in Tanzanian projects. As the interest in the area has escalated an interesting trend has begun to emerge; there has been an increase in Asian, state-backed oil and gas companies buying into these projects at high prices.
In Mozambique, the key players are Italy's Eni SpA (NYSE:E) (BIT:ENI) and the US independent Anadarko. These companies have led successful exploration in their offshore licence areas (Area 1 and Area 4) According to Anadarko, the company has drilled more than a dozen deepwater wells within the Offshore Area 1 Block with discoveries of between 35 and 65 tcf of recoverable natural gas.
In contrast, the discoveries in Tanzania are smaller than those in Mozambique. The key players in this area are considered to be BG Group plc (LON:BG) (OTCMKTS:BRGYY) and Statoil ASA (NYSE:STO) which have thus far led offshore exploration activities in Tanzania. BG and partner Ophir Energy Plc (LON:OPHR) have made seven discoveries in Blocks 1, 3, and 4 and Statoil, in partnership with Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM), has made four discoveries in Block 2.
The two countries are at varying stages of development and it is difficult to forecast a clear front-runner; however, it is worth noting that the EIA predicts that Mozambique will be the first of the two to develop the capability to export LNG.
Anadarko has said that it anticipates sales of LNG from Mozambique will begin in 2018, reaching full operational capacity by 2030-32. Commentators have argued otherwise, however, stating that a more reasonable expectation for the commencement of LNG sales would be 2020.
Why should Australian companies invest in East Africa?
General improvements
East Africa is a region that is still relatively underexplored and thus represents a frontier market. The discoveries provide numerous opportunities for investment, not only as part of the upstream process, but also in other sectors that will subsequently face increased demand. For example, London-listed Baobab Resources is calling for a strategic partner to assist in developing its pig-iron project in Mozambique's northern Tete Province due to the surge in demand for steel from the emerging energy sector; a trend that is expected to continue in the medium-term.
East Africa's governance has also improved, as has the economy; consequently it is becoming more attractive for foreign investors. Australia's private sector has already recognised the potential of investing in Africa and the economic importance of the region. This is particularly true in the case of the mining industry. The stabilisation of the region, reduction of political risk and a decrease in the overall cost of capital, have meant that projects that were previously considered to be uneconomic, have now become viable.
Improving Corruption and Transparency
According to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), countries that have a wealth of resources, such as oil and gas, are inclined to under-perform economically. They have higher levels of conflict often combined with poor governance. These factors can result in countries falling under the so-called 'resource curse'. Although this is not always the case, by encouraging greater transparency in these countries, the negative impacts can be diminished.
Tanzania and Mozambique are considered to be fully compliant members of the EITI. Their participation in such international initiatives is of importance, particularly in Africa, as it instils confidence in investors, who are cautious about the region due to integrity risks. It also helps to ease fears among the civil society, as the government has to be more accountable. Membership of the EITI promotes improved economic and political stability, which contributes to the prevention of conflicts associated with revenue accrued in the oil and gas and mining sectors.
Challenges to investing in Africa and Key Risks
Why Australian IOCs may find it difficult to enter the market: NOCs v IOCs
Although Australian energy companies have shown interest in investing in East Africa, the process has proved to be expensive and this may deter future investment interests. Western Australia-based Woodside Petroleum's chief executive, Peter Coleman, said in November 2012 that East Africa was becoming too expensive for oil and gas exploration. Coleman did indicate, however, that the company would continue to monitor the East African region, particularly Mozambique and Tanzania, as a potential competitor to Australian LNG exports. Similarly, Royal Dutch Shell plc (NYSE:RDS.A) (NYSE:RDS.B) (LON:RDSA) (LON:RDSB)/Shell was involved in a prolonged battle with state-backed Thai company PTT for the purchase of Cove Energy PLC (LON:COV) , which held an 8.5 per cent share in Andarko's Offshore Area 1 of Mozambique. Although analysts originally speculated that Shell would be prepared to spend up to £3.20 per share for the company, it declined to bid more than £2.20 per share. Shell was outbid by PTT Public Company Limited (BKK:PTT) , which paid £2.40 per share (approximately US$1.9 billion in total). In response to questions raised about its decision not to bid higher, the company responded that, based on market valuations and the economic potential of Cove's assets, a higher bid was not a good investment. In May 2013, according to media sources, Shell has reiterated its stance, after being involved in talks with Anadarko.
In another recent development, unconfirmed reports from April 2013 have suggested that two of India's state-backed companies are the leading joint bidders for a twenty per cent stake in the Rovuma 1 offshore block, owned by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:APC) and Videocon Industries Ltd. The value of the stake, which the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Ltd. (OINL) are said to be interested in, has been estimated at up to US$6 billion. The third biggest European oil company, France's Total, reportedly considered bidding for the same stake, but decided against it due to the risks of project delays and cost overruns.
These examples highlight the continuing prominence of national oil companies, their ability to manage increasingly complex projects and to compete directly with IOCs, especially on price. Consequently, investing in these areas may prove to be too costly for Australian companies, especially junior and mid-size independents. It is likely that many will come to a similar opinion to the large-independent, Woodside Petroleum, and look elsewhere to seek potentially high-value deals before they are claimed by others.
It is important to note that the presence of NOCs and their increasing status in the region will not fully deter interest in investment

A writing center usually offers individualized conferencing whereby the writing tutor offers his or her feedback on the piece of writing at hand; a writing tutor's main function is to discuss how the piece of writing might be revised. However, the tutor usually does not proofread nor edit the student's work. Instead, the tutor facilitates the student's attempts to revise his or her own work by conversing with the student about the topic at hand, discussing principles and processes of writing, modeling rhetorical and syntactical moves for the student to apply, and assisting the student in identifying patterns of grammatical error in his or her writing.
Some institutions also offer an Online Writing Lab (OWL), which generally attempts to follow the model of writing center tutoring in an online environment.
A recent movement in writing centers has been to provide services for the non-academic community. Such services include one-to-one response for out-of-school writers, and workshops on a wide variety of topics. Such writing centers are often identified as community writing centers.
Writing Centers are not exclusively a post-secondary phenomenon. Some high schools have successfully created writing centers similar to the model in higher education.

Investigators Point to Letter in Loughner's Home
TUCSON, Ariz.—Federal investigators found the words "Die Cops" and "Die Bitch" scrawled on a letter from U.S. congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords's office in the home of the shooting suspect, a sheriff's department official said Tuesday night.
Captain Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff's Department was briefed on the findings of a search of the suspect's ranch-style house where he lives with his parents. Capt. Nanos said that the suspect, Jared Lee Loughner, had also referenced an assassination in handwritten notes on the letter.
The letter, which dated from 2007, was a form document sent by Ms. Giffords's staff to thank Mr. Loughner for attending one of her events. "He obviously kept the letter for a long time," Capt. Nanos said.
More details also surfaced Wednesday on Mr. Loughner's whereabouts in the hours before the attack Saturday. The Arizona Game and Fish Department confirmed that Mr. Loughner ran a red light and was stopped by a wildlife officer several hours before the shooting. The officer checked Mr. Loughner's driver's licence and registration and found no outstanding warrants, a Pima County official said.
Mr. Loughner has been charged with two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and a count of attempted assassination of a member of Congress in connection with a shooting at a Safeway supermarket here Saturday.
Ms. Giffords, who is believed to have been the shooter's target, was gravely injured at the event for constituents but is expected to survive after successful brain surgery. Six people were killed and 13 others were injured. More charges are expected.
Capt. Nanos also confirmed reports that local authorities had visited the Loughners' house on previous occasions—but such visits took place many years ago and were for minor incidents, two of them involving Mr. Loughner's parents.
At one time around 1996, the police responded to a noise complaint; it turned out to be the suspect's father, Randy Loughner, playing with a "sporty Camaro," the official said.
Years later, in 2002, officers came because the suspect's mother, Amy Loughner, reported that the sticker in her license plate had been stolen, Capt. Nanos said.
The only time the police visited because of the suspect was around 2006 or 2007, when the suspect called the authorities to report a case of identity theft. "Someone had used his name on MySpace or Facebook," Capt. Nanos said.
One of Mr. Loughner's run-ins with authorities was because of the possession of a marijuana pipe. In 2007, the year he would have graduated from high school, Mr. Loughner was arrested in Pima County and charged with possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, according to court records. His case was dismissed.
One other episode involved Mr. Loughner's having allegedly arrived drunk at his high school, Capt. Nanos said.
"There was nothing to indicate that he was a danger to anybody," he said.
Jason Ogan, a spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department, said that the department was reviewing the visits. He said that reports on them may be available on Wednesday.
