A well completion system comprises production tubing (5) extending downhole from wellhead equipment (2) to a plurality of completion systems (7, 8, 9). A well testing facility comprising a test loop (26) with flow metering equipement (27) is included in the wellhead equipment. Each of a plurality of independently adjustable flow control means (57) is operable to stop the flow of fluid from a respective one of the completion assemblies into the production tubing. The downhole completion assemblies (7, 8, 9) are mounted on a common fluid and electrical supply means (4) comprising tubular electrical conductor means (42) and tubing (41, 45, 46) defining fluid paths.
1. A well completion system comprising:
a plurality of downhole completion assemblies,
supply means carrying a fluid and an electrical supply, said supply means comprising three concentric tubular electrical conductors, dielectric sleeves between said tubular conductors, and tubing concentric with said tubular conductors defining at least one fluid supply path, and
means mounting said completion assemblies in communication with said supply means.
2. The well completion system of claim 1 wherein each of said downhole completion assemblies comprises a fluid flow control means for controlling flow of fluid through said assembly and operator means for selective adjustment of said flow control means.
3. A well completion system comprising:
wellhead equipment,
at least one downhole completion assembly,
production tubing extending between said wellhead equipment and said at least one completion assembly,
power tubing extending within said production tubing between said wellhead equipment and said at least one completion assembly, said power tubing comprising at least one tubular electrical conductor, and
at least one of a logging and a monitoring means carried by said power tubing in operative association with said wellhead equipment by way of said tubular electrical conductor.
4. The well completion system of claim 3 further comprising a selectively adjustable flow control device for controlling flow of production fluid into said production tubing to any selected one of a variety of substantial flow rates, and a control unit for controlling said control device, said control unit being carried by said power tubing.
The invention relates to a well completion system and is concerned with the provision of such a system incorporating features providing enhanced production from the well.
The invention accordingly provides a well completion system comprising at least one downhole completion assembly for receiving fluid from a reservoir, selectively adjustable flow control means in the completion assembly, and a fluid flow booster downstream of the completion assembly, whereby the fluid extraction rate can be optimised.
The system can include a plurality of completion assemblies in series, each incorporating a respective flow control means, typically a choke device, for individual adjustment of fluid inflow from respective reservoirs associated with the completion assemblies or from a single reservoir at spaced intervals at which the assemblies are located. The extracted fluid can comprise liquid or gas or a mixture of the two, and a submersible pump or a compressor is selected as the flow or production booster accordingly.
The production booster functions to expose the reservoir or reservoirs to a higher drawdown pressure differential than is available from the natural reservoir drive, thereby providing artificial lift. A single production booster can be operated in conjunction with a plurality of completion assemblies which can be individually tuned to a drawdown appropriate to the respective associated reservoirs or reservoir intervals, the adjustments being within a pressure range corresponding to the differential provided by the booster.
The invention thus also provides a completion assembly for a well completion system comprising tubing for receiving well effluent and for guiding the received well effluent through a variable choke device, together with control means for varying the choke device flow aperture. The choke device is preferably operable to close off the effluent flow completely.
Such a completion assembly can be employed in various forms of well completion system and the control means can be operated in response to sensed local conditions or in the context of overall system management in a system incorporating plural completion assemblies.
The invention also provides a well completion system comprising a plurality of completion assemblies each having a selectively variable choke device, wellhead equipment including a well testing facility, and control means for operating the choke devices so as to permit testing at the wellhead of individual wells, or of individual production intervals of a single well.
The wellhead equipment can thus include a test loop with metering facilities. Where the system comprises plural wells tied back to common flowlines, individual wells can be tested without interruption to production from other wells. The system can but need not include a production booster downstream of the completion assemblies, so as to provide for optimised production as described above.
The invention also provides a well completion system comprising a plurality of downhole equipment units on a common core or spine constituted by electrical and/or fluid supply means. The supply means can be constructed as power tubing extending centrally along the production tubing of the system.
The power tubing preferably includes plural conductors for the transmission of electric power and also control signals downhole from the wellhead. The conductors also transmit test and monitoring signals from the downhole equipment up to data acquisition and treatment equipment at the wellhead. Multiplexing can be employed. The power tubing also preferably incorporates fluid passage means extending between the wellhead and the downhole equipment. Plural conduits can be provided for conveying or circulating for example barrier fluid for providing overpressure protection, hydraulic fluid for operation of downhole equipment, as by way of local power units, and for the supply of chemical additives or inhibitors to be injected into the production fluid. Each unit of the downhole equipment accordingly has its respective electrical and/or fluid connections to the power tubing.
The invention also provides a well completion system comprising monitoring means at the wellhead, plural well completion assemblies, and variable flow control device responsive to signals from the monitoring unit at each completion assembly, sensor means at each completion assembly supplying signals to the monitoring means to permit continuous interactive control of production.
Such tuning of the system requires information about the performance of, and the conditions at, the (or each) completion assembly. The invention therefore also provides a well completion system including instrumentation associated with downhole equipment, means communicating the instrumentation with control equipment located at the wellhead, to permit monitoring and control of the system.
The sensor means can include sensors for logging reservoir and production flow parameters such as temperature, pressure, composition, and flow rates. Where the downhole equipment includes spaced completion assemblies receiving fluid from respective reservoirs or from respective locations in a single reservoir, the sensors can be arranged to log parameters of the respective fluid flows at the respective assemblies as well as of the combined or commingled flow downstream of the assemblies and/or at the wellhead. Where a booster pump or compressor is provided downstream of the (or each) completion assembly, this also can incorporate appropriate sensors at least for metering the flow and its characteristics. Data provided by the downhole sensor means is conveyed, conveniently, by way of the power tubing described above, if employed, to the monitoring unit at which the data is received, stored and treated to provide information for automatic or manual control functions to be exercised from the wellhead on the various units of the downhole equipment. To optimise performance of the system in dependence on sensed variations in reservoir characteristics. The downhole equipment can be controlled as a whole or selectively in respect of its various units.
Where fluid is being extracted from a plurality of reservoirs, the conditions of each can be sensed independently, by way of the instrumentation included in the associated completion assembly. By continuous or selective monitoring of the well characteristics and the performance of the downhole equipment, optimum control can be achieved by remote control without disturbing the functioning of the system and without the need to perform intervention operations.
A well completion system according to the invention can include for example heaters spaced along it to maintain temperature control of the well effluent for example to prevent deposition and solidification of particles, which might restrict the production flow. The or each completion assembly can include a heater for aiding production of heavy oils, and means for injection of chemicals and additives to function as inhibitors to prevent scaling or dehydration can be provided, for example, at the or each completion assembly. One or more downhole steam generators can be included for cyclic stimulation and subsequent extraction for example of heavy oils.
A well completion system incorporating the invention will be understood to be very advantageously employed in subsea wells and horizontal wells as well as subterrain wells, particularly in complex reservoir situations and in reservoirs with thin pay zones.
The invention is further described below, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a well completion system in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional side view on a larger scale of a downhole completion assembly included in the system of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 & 4 are cross-sectional views on lines III--III and IV--IV of FIG. 2 respectively; and
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view on line V--V of FIG. 1.
The illustrated well completion system comprises, as shown in FIG. 1, wellhead equipment 2 including a completion and production tree from which power tubing 4 extends downwardly within production tubing 5 to a production booster 6 and then to downhole completion equipment constituted here by three completion assemblies 7,8,9 spaced along the power tubing and connected in series to it. The system is shown in operative condition within a well bore containing a production casing 11 extending down from the wellhead to a production casing shoe 12.
The production tubing 5 extends down to the booster 6 which is located just below the production casing shoe 12. Beyond the booster, a production liner 14 extends through three reservoirs 15,16 & 17.
The wellhead production tree is designed to accommodate all system requirements. Thus besides structural integrity, the production tree provides for the supply of electric power from a source 21, and fluids, such as hydraulic and barrier fluids and chemical additives, from sources 22, along the power tubing 4. The tree is also arranged to facilitate retrieval and workover. Also included in the wellhead equipment 2 is an electronic data handling and control unit 24 at which is collected data from sensors located downhole and from which are transmitted command signals for controlling operation of the downhole equipment. The data and command signals are multiplexed for transmission along power conductors of the power tubing and are taken from and supplied to these conductors at 25.
The equipment 2 also provides a production test loop 26 with metering equipment 27 which can be employed to test separate remote wells tied back to common flowlines by way of subsea manifold installations. Each well may be tested individually without interrupting the production from other wells. Because of the nature of the downhole equipment, each reservoir or reservoir interval may be tested individually without intervention operations.
The power tubing 4 is preferably of concentric configuration and as shown in FIG. 5 can comprise outer protective tubing 41 having received within it with spacing to provide a first fluid conduit 44 a tubular conductor assembly. The conductor assembly consists of three concentric tubular electrical conductors 42, electrically insulated by intervening sleeves of dielectric material. Inner and outer concentric spaced tubes 45 & 46 are received within the conductor assembly to provide three further fluid conduits 47.
The power tubing can comprise sections of appropriate length, typically 9-15 meters, connected together by appropriate joint means 49 indicated schematically in FIG. 5. The power tubing equipment is run into the well bore by conventional techniques during installation, and provides for continuous distribution of electrical and fluid supplies through the entire system, as well as for conveyance of test, measurement and control signals between the wellhead control unit 24 and the various units downhole.
Referring now to the three downhole completion assemblies 7, 8 & 9, these are employed because the drainhole section of the well bore penetrates the three separate reservoirs 15, 16 & 17, but plural assemblies could be employed where a long drainhole section in a single reservoir is divided into individual production locations. Each of the completion assemblies 7, 8 & 9 controls the well inflow from the associated reservoir which it supplies into a mixed or commingled flow which is moved into the production tubing 5 by way of the booster 6.
FIGS. 2-4 show the uppermost completion assembly 7 of FIG. 1 received within the production liner 14 which has perforations or slots along it over the length of the assembly to permit fluid communication between the assembly and the reservoir. The production liner 14 is sealed to the bore by packers 51 (or conventionally by cementing) which serve to separate the slotted or perforated liner sections communicating with one reservoir from those communicating with another.
The completion assembly 7 has been set in position, after installation, by inflatable completion seals 52 which serve to isolate the inflow from the downstream reservoirs 16 & 17. The assembly comprises tubing 54 concentrically surrounding the power tubing 4 to provide therewith an annular conduit for the mixed or commingled flow from the upstream assemblies through apertured upper and lower annular end walls 55,56. At the downstream end of the assembly, between the tubing 54 and the upper seal 52, a production choke 57 is provided to control the production flow from the adjacent reservoir. The flow through the choke 57 mixes with the flow through the end wall 55 in the space between the production liner 14 and the power tubing 4 and moves upwardly to the downhole production booster 6.
The production choke 57 provides a fixed annular series of flow apertures 58, the effective area of which can be selectively adjusted by rotation of a similarly apertured annulus between a fully open position, in which the fixed apertures coincide with those of the annulus, and a fully closed position, as shown in FIG. 4, in which the fixed apertures coincide with the solid portions of the annulus between its apertures. The production choke 57 is thus adjustable to control the quantity of the well effluent flowing into the commingled flow upstream of the assembly 7. The choke 57 can be employed to tune the completion assembly production and is drawn down to provide optimum reservoir extraction characteristics and to control the pressure of the common production flow.
The choke 57 is controlled from the wellhead equipment by signals from the control unit 24 carried by the power tubing 4 and is actuated by a local hydraulic power pack 59 supplied by the hydraulic supplies within the power tubing.
Besides the power pack 59, the assembly 7 includes instrumentation 60 with sensors for logging and monitoring operation of the assembly. The sensor outputs are supplied to the wellhead control unit 24 by means of the power tubing 4 through a data acquisition and transmission unit 61. Means 62 for injection into the production flow of an inhibitor or other chemical additive from the source 22 can be provided, as can a heater 64 for local production stimulation.
A downhole steam generator 65, which can be operated to enhance production particularly of heavy oils, is provided downstream of the completion assemblies, and one or more production flow heaters 66 (FIG. 1) can be located at spaced positions between the booster 6 and the wellhead to maintain optimum production temperatures and prevent waxing, scaling etc. The additional downhole equipment described is controlled and powered from the wellhead by way of the power tubing 4.
Each of the completion assemblies 8 & 9 is similar in function and configuration to the assembly 7 and neither is therefore further described. Between adjacent assemblies, an annular chamber 70 between the production liner 14 and the power tubing 4 serves as a mixing chamber for the flow from the adjacent assembly and the assembly or assemblies upstream. As for the production booster 6, a downhole submersible pump may be employed where the production fluid is a liquid or primarily a liquid, but the booster can be constituted by a compressor where the completion system is applied to a gas producing reservoir or reservoirs.
The booster 6 serves as a common booster for all three of the completion assemblies 7, 8 & 9. It adds an additional drawn down capacity to the natural flow conditions which is selected in accordance with the calculations based on tests of the reservoir inflow performance. The production booster 6 and chokes 57 of the completion assemblies thus are operated to tune the extraction process and provide optimum production rates of the commingled production flow through the production tubing.
The invention can of course be embodied in a variety of ways other than as specifically described and illustrated.

At least some reviewers of Walt Disney Pictures' "Herbie: Fully Loaded" found themselves caught in a modern-day conundrum: Should they review the movie about a fledgling ESPN journalist turned Nascar driver who says she's willing to kill for Tropicana orange juice and seldom leaves home without her Goodyear cap? Or just skip the film and go straight to its ubiquitous promotions?
This is a product-placement movie gone wild," Richard Roeper said on WBBM-TV, the CBS affiliate in Chicago. "There's a commercial contained within nearly every frame." "Fully loaded with what?" Ty Burr of The Boston Globe said, adding, "Product placement, as far as I can tell."
The fifth incarnation of Disney's 1963 film "The Love Bug" - which features 19-year-old Lindsay Lohan as the driver of an aging Volkswagen Beetle (and enjoyed favorable notice from some reviewers) - has taken in about $37 million at the domestic box office since it opened last month. But the film may ultimately be remembered less for its star or its box-office performance than for the boldness of its promotions.
Within three minutes of her on-screen introduction in "Herbie," for instance, Ms. Lohan's character, Maggie Peyton, is congratulated in two separate scenes by different characters for landing what promises to be a "great" and "cool" job as an assistant producer at ESPN - a cable sports network that happens to be owned by the studio's parent, the Walt Disney Company.
The only time Ms. Lohan/Peyton touches food or drink is when she pulls a prominently displayed bottle of Tropicana orange juice from a kitchen refrigerator. In a scene 20 minutes later, Maggie enters the kitchen growling at another character, "If you touched that orange juice, I'll kill you." Tropicana, a division of PepsiCo, is the official soft drink of the Nascar racing team headed by Jeff Gordon, who plays himself in the film.

The WING anti-drug task force says a missing juvenile call early Monday morning in Chadron eventually led to drug arrests in Chadron and Sidney.
18-year old Brody Gramberg of Chadron and a 17-year old boy from Scottsbluff, whose name has not been released, were arrested Wednesday on felony charges of Possession of MDMA…more often called Ecstasy or Molly…and Possession and Delivery of LSD.
Two Sidney residents…31-year old Jennifer Cartwright and 30-year Walter Fischer…were arrested Thursday are each charged with possession of a controlled substance.
All four suspects in the two cities are being held on $50,000 bail each.
Nebraska State Patrol Sgt Dana Korell, commander of the WING Task Force, says when Chadron officers went to a residence Monday morning in response to the missing juvenile call, they found the missing teen but also smelled the odor of marijuana.
While the missing juvenile was transported to Chadron Community Hospital and treated for LSD chemical toxicity before being released, authorities obtained and served a search warrant at the residence.
Seized were Psilocybin mushrooms, an unknown white powdery substance, less than an ounce of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, a scale, and packaging material frequently used with marijuana.
Sgt Korell says the initial investigation and search warrant allowed WING investigators to set up the purchase of ten hits of LSD. After the buy, assisted by Chadron officers and the State Patrol, they arrested Gramberg and the 17-year old from Scottsbluff.
On Wednesday, WING investigators served three more search warrants, one on a Ford Explorer belonging to the 17 year old, one on a Dodge Durango belonging to Granberg, and one on an apartment in Chadron. They seized more suspected drugs…LSD and MDMA…and a marijuana pipe in the juvenile's SUV while Gramberg's yielded less than an ounce of marijuana as well as marijuana pipes and paraphernalia.
Sgt Korell says the investigation continued in Chadron late into Wednesday evening with investigators developing information that deliveries of the drugs had come from a man in Sidney. Officers there obtained a search warrant for the man's home and found Cartwright and Fischer on the property in a camper in an outbuilding.
When police searched that building, they located a small box containing a digital scale and a methamphetamine pipe. Fischer and Cartwright denied any knowledge of the items, but were arrested.
Korrell says the investigation is continuing and thinks there will likely be more arrests in the future. He says LSD, MDMA, and psilocybin mushrooms are all extremely dangerous, making investigations and arrests of this type "significant" from the standpoint of their use and availability.
Korrell also says Chadron has been an interesting area for WING because it seems to be the only area in the Panhandle where investigators consistently and commonly see LSD and mushrooms.
The WING/HITDA Drug and Violent Crime Task Force is partially funded by the Nebraska Crime Commission, which announced Monday that WING's grant would more than double for the coming fiscal year from $70,000 to $140,000.

LEESBURG — Lee County Lady Trojans soccer is state-playoff bound again after jumping on Northside, Columbus in the opener of the region playoffs Tuesday at home.
Lee County used two Nicole Polk goals, one late in the first and another early in the second half, to pull away for a 6-0 win, eliminating the Lady Patriots from the region playoffs.
The Lady Trojans (10-4-1) will play host in the Region 1-AAAA girls' semifinals either Thursday or Friday against the Bainbridge-Warner Robins winner for a shot at a first-round home game in the state playoffs next month.
Suzanne Wynn opened the scoring in the first on an assist from Tamia Mills, and then Polk took advantage of a goalkeeper bobble at the net and kicked home a loose ball for a 2-0 lead with 14 minutes left in the first half.
"It feels good to play as a team," said Polk, who is one of the Lady Trojans' leading scorers along with fellow junior Carsen Taylor. "As the season progresses, we're playing better as a team."
Polk tied her career-high for goals in a game with her second score just 12 minutes into the second half when she broke away after a pass from Kristi Sheridan and finished at the net for a 3-0 lead. Mills added another goal five minutes later, and Lee County's stellar defense made the lead stand up.
"That's the key in these kinds of games – jump on them early, get ahead and it makes everybody feel better," Lady Trojans' head coach Dave Baltenberger said.
Ivy Booker and Taylor added scores in the final 20 minutes for Lee County, which was the top seed from 1B-AAAA after finishing undefeated in subregion play. The Lady Trojans will likely get another test from the opposite side of the region later this week against Warner Robins.
"We really don't (know much about 1A-AAAA), but if we stay together and play as a team I don't think we'll have a problem," Polk said.
WARNER ROBINS BOYS 3, LEE COUNTY 1: The No. 3 seeded Demons from Region 1A-AAAA ended the Trojans' season Tuesday with a mild upset of Lee County, which came out of the 1B-AAAA tiebreaker as the subregion's No. 2 seed.
Lee County's Hunter Johnson and Victor Olaniyan gave Warner Robins' goalkeeper Nathan Butts a workout in the first half, but the Demons' net minder was game.
Warner Robins took a 1-0 lead at the 27:00 mark of the first half on Matt Monday's goal off a pass from Mack Nelson that crossed up Trojans' keeper Hunter Bowden at the net.
The Trojans knotted things up with 1:35 left before half when Nathan Elmore drilled a free kick into the back of the net to beat Butts, but that would be all the Demons goalie would allow.
Warner Robins' Parker Shaw scored on a header off a corner kick with 20 minutes to play, and Lee County couldn't capitalize on its best second-half scoring chance at the 14-minute mark after a long pass got behind the goalkeeper but bounced off a Trojan out of play.
Nelson added a late insurance goal for the Demons to clinch a state playoff ticket for Warner Robins.

Congress getting involved in wake of Indian Island Supreme Court case
WASHINGTON - Congress is weighing into conflicts over military secrets and questions about when people have a right to know if nearby federal facilities pose a deadly threat.
New legislation follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated the Navy's rationale for withholding specialized maps of Indian Island near Port Townsend. The maps describe blast zones surrounding the Navy's ammunition depot on the island.
The House recently passed a bill that would create a new Department of Defense exemption under the Freedom of Information Act, the federal records law giving citizens the right to know about government operations. The Senate is working on a separate bill.
Open-government organizations in Washington state and across the country are expressing opposition or concern about the legislation.
"The Department of Defense is asking Congress to conceal all information related to explosives storage and handling," said Toby Nixon, president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. "But people should be able to know what risks are posed by storing powerful explosives in their communities, so that they can be fully prepared."
The Navy contended in the court case that the maps could allow someone with ill intent to identify the exact locations where munitions are stored. But Navy officials say it would not be appropriate to comment on the pending legislation.
The proposed exemption — a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act — would grant the military a right to withhold "sensitive but unclassified information related to critical infrastructure " when such information "may result in the disruption, degradation or destruction of operations, property or facilities of the Department of Defense."
Unlike a similar provision approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee, the House version requires the Secretary of Defense to balance public interests. That is, before the secretary declines to release documents, he must find that the need to withhold the information outweighs the "public interest" that favors release.
An amendment proposed by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., would similarly tighten up the exemption in the Senate bill.
Amy Bennett, an analyst with OpenTheGovernment.org in Washington, D.C., said the military does not need a new exemption. It can mark documents "classified" or use one of the existing exemptions under federal law.
Furthermore, she said, amendments to the Freedom of Information Act should not be attached to a Defense bill.
"We think the administration should do some work to see what information needs to be protected," she said. "We think this should go through the committees that have expertise with FOIA: the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee."
If the legislation does go through, she said, then it needs to balance the public's right to know.
The Supreme Court ruling concluded that an exemption for "internal personnel rules and practices" was not a valid reason for the Navy to withhold the specialized maps of Indian Island. That exemption — the second in the law — was so commonly used by federal agencies that it was given a nickname: "High 2."
In an opinion supporting the overall ruling, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito suggested that the Navy use Exemption 7, which protects "information compiled for law enforcement purposes." The exemption could be applied if the release of records "could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual," he said.
The maps of Indian Island depict distances where damage could result from hypothetical explosions at locations where weapons, ammunition and explosives are stored.
Glen Milner, a Seattle resident who requested the maps and eventually won the Supreme Court case, said he expects the Navy to continue to resist release of the maps. It's not out of concern about public safety or the risks of terrorism, Milner claims. It's because the Navy does not want to deal with the worries of average people.
"Let's use some common sense," he said. "If a terrorist wanted to inflict the most damage, they would know where the greatest amount of explosives are already. It's at the explosives handling wharf. The arc maps wouldn't mean anything to them."
On the other hand, he said, the maps are likely to show that more explosives are being handled at Indian Island than ever before. The community was told years ago that the maximum explosive power at the docks would never be more than an equivalent of 2.25 million pounds of TNT, he said. But Milner has obtained documents showing that the Navy increased that to an equivalent of 3 million pounds.
Even that information would be useless to terrorists, Milner said, because they would need to know when the explosives would be present — and that's not information he is seeking.
"It wouldn't help terrorists," he said. "They could show up and the ship could be empty; the bunkers could be empty."
On the other hand, Milner said, residents living across the water from Indian Island or near the Bangor submarine base might wish to know the potential effects of a maximum blast.
Jefferson County resident Doug Milholland has submitted a petition with more than 400 signatures, asking Washington's U.S. senators — Democrats Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell — to oppose the Senate language as it is written. Milholland also is asking the Port Townsend City Council and Jefferson County commissioners to take a stand against the bill.
Based on rough estimates, Milholland claims that a massive explosion at Indian Island might be enough to shatter windows at Jefferson General Hospital in Port Townsend. If the Navy were required to share that information, he said, the hospital might choose to replace some of its windows with stronger glass.
"Basically, a local community is being asked to take risks about what is going on in the ammunition-transfer business without knowing what the risks are," he said. "The base at Indian Island has residential communities less than two miles away. We are at risk."
Milholland said he grew up near Hanford in Eastern Washington, where the federal government refused to tell local residents about secret radioactive releases until many years later, when the Freedom of Information Act was brought to bear.
"There were downwinders all over the place exposed to thyroid-damaging radiation," he said. "People didn't have a chance to respond."
Many Eastern Washington residents are now living or dying with tumors, he said, and the damaging effects of government secrecy abound throughout the nation.
"My initial concern was not about the Freedom of Information Act," Milholland said. "I'm very happy to be a bit player in this major drama. It is a national action, though we have many local concerns."

Studio Theory Fine Arts C (THAP2631)
This Unit of Study is split into three areas: Painting; Sculpture; Printmedia
The focus in this studio is to address some of the critical moments of change in the visual arts from the early to later part of the 20th Century, by considering the key Modernist movements in the broader political, social, and gender, and racial context from the early Russian Avant Garde, De Stijl, Dada, Fluxus, Conceptualism, Minimalism, High Pop and on into the 80s
The focus in this studio is to identify and critically evaluate a number of the issues, methodologies and artists that have been instrumental in defining the key moments of Modernism within contemporary sculptural practice. The study format combines formal presentations, reading group discussions and student seminar presentations.
Contemporary Art: Focusing on the art of the past ten years, the first semester unit surveys the idea of contemporary art in its broadest sense, developing an appreciation of its breadth and diversity as well as establishing a clearer understanding of its relationship to modernist art. Connections between art, technology and cultural change are key themes.

Wind: 0 mph
By Lisa Loomis
Duxbury voters are petitioning to rescind an article approved at a special Town Meeting May 10 that authorized the town to borrow $70,000 a year for five years for town debt.
The petition, which appeared around town last week, will be provided to the select board at the board's June 9 meeting. It reads:
"We the undersigned legal voters of the Town of Duxbury hereby request that the Selectboard call a special meeting to have the voters consider the following article:
Shall the Town of Duxbury rescind the action taken at the May 10, 2014 special meeting whereby the voters authorized the Town of Duxbury to appropriate the sum of $70,000 to be applied to the outstanding debt of the town."
Petitioners then provided the paragraphs that the town included in the booklet prepared for its special Town Meeting on May 10, which lay out the town's contention that it has $338,486 in outstanding debt, a claim that the town's former auditor disputes.
At issue is the question of whether the town's budget deficit is $338,486 or $110,000, or even less because the town has received a refund from Washington West Supervisory Union of $40,000.
Duxbury had a line of credit with a bank to pay for flooding repairs in 2011. The town was properly reimbursed by FEMA for all its repairs and it repaid all but $228,000 of its line of credit. The 2013 end-of-the-year balance sheet includes that debt in its bottom line, showing the town ending the year at a deficit of $110,000.
Former town auditor Bill Yacavoni asserts that the $228,000 debt is included in the $110,000 deficit and select board chair Dick Charland insists that the debt must be added to the deficit – making the town $338,486 in debt. The select board asked voters to approve a plan to borrow $338,486 from a bank and repay it at a rate of $70,000 per year for five years.
Yacavoni attended the May 10 special Town Meeting, but he was not allowed to speak. Members of the select board objected to him speaking and when voters' voted by raising their hands on whether or not he could speak, he did not receive two-thirds of the vote required for a nonresident to speak.
After the meeting Yacavoni said that Charland's statement (at the meeting) demonstrated a lack of understanding of basic accounting principles.
"When he was explaining the balance sheet, he stated that 'assets equal liabilities.' What the heck? If assets equal liabilities, i.e., what you have is what you owe, you would never have anything. Assets minus liabilities equals equity – that is what is presented on a balance sheet," Yacavoni said.
Petitioners hope to give voters a chance to hear from Yacavoni as well as the town's new auditor, Bonnie Batchelder, before making a decision to borrow $338,486 and raise the tax rate for five years to pay it back.
"The purpose of the rescission petition is to give the taxpayers an opportunity to have a special Town Meeting where all sides of the debate regarding the financial condition of the town can be considered. It's unfortunate that Bill Yacavoni, who has audited the books of the town of Duxbury for 16 years, was not given a chance to express his position on our finances, a position which is based on standard accounting rules and practices at the special Town Meeting on May 10. It is clear that there has been no maleficence in the way our books have been handled and we do not wish to engage in assigning blame or maligning anybody. Rather, the taxpayers of the town of Duxbury would like to hear from our former auditor and our current auditor regarding the present needs of the town. Accounting is an exact science and there is no place for demagoguery in this debate. Once the taxpayers are provided with all of the facts and positions regarding our financial needs, they will be able to vote again on Article 1 with a balanced view of the best way to proceed," said Dowsville road resident Chris Pierson, one of the creators of the petition.

Making an impact in Tanzania
A group of students and faculty spent 10 days in the East African nation of Tanzania recently restoring a schoolhouse and giving presentations on sustainability, emotional and behavioral issues, special education, and HIV and AIDS.
The group was led by Brandon Knettel, a Ph.D. candidate in counseling psychology in the College of Education, and
Jill Sperandio
, associate professor of education and human services.
"You can put your education to work there," said Knettel, who taught Tanzanian teachers methods on how to recognize and help students with learning disabilities.
"Part of it is the great need. Part of it is the lack of institutional resistance to change. There is a hunger to learn how things are done elsewhere and to incorporate it and use it."
The Lehigh group visited Tanzania from May 23 to June 2. They presented a dozen educational lectures and found time to seal the walls of a dirt-floor schoolhouse.
Five undergraduate students made the trip as part of Sustainable Development Solutions, a course taught by
Mark Orrs
, director of Lehigh's
sustainable development program
and professor of practice in the department of political science. The course is part of Lehigh's sustainable development program (SDP)
, which focuses on economic development that is socially equitable and does not come at the expense of the environment.
Taking advice from Hippocrates
"Lehigh's sustainable development program emphasizes the 'Hippocratic oath' mentality of 'first do no harm'," said Orrs. "The coursework prepares students for work in these settings and educates them about all of the cultural, ethical, socioeconomic, and logistical dimensions that go into doing no harm and maximizing impact on the communities themselves."
The students in the Sustainable Development Solutions class were Danielle Hanes '15, a global studies major, Becca Naurath '16 (environmental engineering), Tanzania native Aakash Phulwani '17 (electrical engineering), Danni Baxter '14 (finance and business information systems), and Katie MacLachlan '16 (global studies).
The students joined Sperandio and two other professionals in Tanzania: Christine Knettel, Brandon's wife, and Nancy Horstmann. Christine, an emergency medicine resident at Temple University, provided education on health care and nutrition. Horstmann is a special education advocate. Both, along with Sperandio, have experience living or working in East Africa.
The trip was sponsored by the sustainable development program. Sperandio, the project adviser, led presentations on educational leadership and strategic planning.
"The students chose which of the lectures they wanted to help with," said Horstmann, who speaks Swahili. "We met weekly at Lehigh during the spring semester. We honed our projects to meet the needs of our hosts—the students, teachers and administrators of Tanzania. We also prepped the Lehigh students with knowledge of the Tanzanian culture."
Emphasizing existing strengths
Workshops and presentations were held at Mount Meru University, the Baraa Government School and the Gracious Primary School. All are located near Arusha, a city in northern Tanzania not far from the border with Kenya.
"We used our previous training and a great deal of research to consider ways that Tanzanian teachers could incorporate low tech or 'no tech' learning tools to improve their classrooms," said Brandon Knettel. "Since electricity is limited and computers are rare in the schools, we introduced several simple activities and tools that would emphasize the students' strengths and not deficiencies."
At the Gracious Primary School, the team plastered and whitewashed two red brick buildings and painted educational murals to decorate the outer walls of the classrooms.
"We also painted the Lehigh shield," said Knettel.
Knettel and Horstmann wrote the proposal for the SDP grant, which subsidized the expenses of the five undergraduate students. Horstmann and her husband, Theodor Horstmann, a 1958 Lehigh business administration alumnus, provided a generous donation to support the educational component of the trip and to purchase the building supplies for Gracious.
"I can't say enough about the Horstmanns' generosity. It was remarkable for them to come into a program and see the potential for it," said Knettel. "Plus, Nancy was the most energetic and enthusiastic person on the trip. The Lehigh students called her their energy bar."
The Horstmanns are members of the Asa Packer Society, Lehigh's leadership giving society.
"I think we are in the infancy stage of reaching out," said Nancy. "I can see that Lehigh is becoming a leader in sustainable development projects throughout the world."
Before traveling to Tanzania, the Lehigh team held a laptop drive and received 20 donations. Working with
and Ubuntu, two humanitarian organizations, the students wiped the computers of information and installed free operating systems and educational software. Airplane restrictions allowed only 10 donated laptops to be transported, so the team delivered that many to The Network Against Female Genital Mutilation in Tanzania. The other 10 will be donated soon.

Press statement
For Immediate Release: 1.18.2012
Poll: Supreme Court Citizens United Decision Hurts Small Businesses, Say Owners By 7 To 1 Margin
Washington, DC – Two-thirds of American small business owners believe the controversial U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United v. FEC case handed down two years ago on January 21 hurts small companies. In fact, only nine percent of small business owners thought the ruling positive, according to an independent national survey of 500 small business owners released today by the American Sustainable Business Council, Main Street Alliance and Small Business Majority.
The survey also found that 88 percent of small business owners hold a negative view of the role money plays in politics, with 68 percent viewing it very negatively. Click here to read the report.
"As we approach the two-year anniversary of the Citizens United case, the verdict is loud and clear: the ruling hurts the small businesses that we need to be strong for economic recovery," said David Levine, executive director of the American Sustainable Business Council. "Business owners are frustrated because they have to compete with big business bank accounts to be heard, and they are fighting back. More than 1,000 business owners have joined ASBC's Business for Democracy campaign to fight for a constitutional amendment that overturns this decision."
"America's entrepreneurs feel corporations have an outsized role and say in politics—to the detriment of the small business community," said John Arensmeyer, founder and CEO of Small Business Majority. "They're looking for a level playing field, and as the country's primary job creators, they should have it."
"Small business owners aren't stupid," said Melanie Collins, owner of Melanie's Home Childcare in Falmouth, Maine and a leader with the Maine Small Business Coalition and Main Street Alliance. "We know who wins when corporate heavy hitters can spend all the money they want, as secretively as they want, to influence our country's elections – and it's not us. The Citizens United decision stacked the deck against small businesses. We've got to unstack that deck."
The Citizens United case, decided by the Supreme Court in January 2010, upheld an argument that government could not place limits on political spending by independent organizations such as corporations. The landmark decision sparked a heated national debate over the role of money in politics, with calls for everything from new SEC rules requiring disclosure of corporate political spending to a Constitutional amendment overturning the Citizens United ruling.
For more information on these poll findings, visit:
Poll results reported in this statement represent findings from an Internet survey of 500 small business owners nationwide, commissioned by the American Sustainable Business Council, Main Street Alliance and Small Business Majority and conducted by Lake Research Partners.

Several spring tournaments have revealed a technique that pro anglers have embraced and weekend anglers are starting to discover – fishing bladed jigs in the early prespawn.
When you're a tournament angler, few things are as important as good preparation, and that includes practice.
It's easy to let tough fishing or a lost fish ruin your day, but I'm here to tell you that a big part of what separates successful tournament anglers from the ones who don't perform as well as they could is the ability to salvage the bad days, turn them into productive days and move on.
It's off to Florida this week where all Bassmaster Elite pros are thinking the same thing – I want to kick off the year with a good start.
With the GEICO Bassmaster Classic behind us, it's time to focus on Bass Pro Shops Spring Fishing Classics being held around the country starting this weekend.
As you read this, I'm on Lake Guntersville trying to stuff my livewell with big bass with hopes of making a run at my fifth Bassmaster Classic title.
As I drove to Birmingham yesterday, I was thinking about this Classic and the potential it has to being the greatest of them all.
I spent this week organizing my new Nitro while a nearby heater in my Michigan garage reminded me it's still winter.
Guntersville will be a great venue for on the water spectators at the 2014 GEICO Bassmaster Classic.
A lot of people don't realize how much time a pro angler works with sponsors in research and development.

Good food with Bad Service
I went to their newly opened kalbadevi branch and as i hd heard a lot from my dad about their quality of food and service at the masjid bandar branch v decided to have dinner at the kalbadevi branch. The food quality and taste were awesome but waiters had no respect watsoever fr the guests. The waiter on our table ws extremely arrogant and inspite of the restuarent being half empty on a weekday he did not attend much to our needs and kept whining. In short go der fr a good quality food at a good rate but make sure you report to the manager if the service sucks!!!
August 21, 2012response from management at Nanumal Bhojraj:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for bringing to our notice this lapse of service.. We assure you of providing the best of services alongwith good Quality of food as mentioned by you... We once again thank-you for your valuable feedback and expect to host you soon with good reviews in service section as well.

We teased Spawn fans weeks ago with the possibility of a special as-yet-unannounced addition to the already-stated Series 26: The Art of Spawn action figure lineup.
Well, as we officially announced two days ago at the San Diego Comic-Con, it was no tease. There will be a McFarlane Toys Collector's Club exclusive action figure as part of Spawn Series 26 and that figure is the long-awaited and much-anticipated:BILLY KINCAIDLike all the other figures in Series 26, Kincaid is based on comic book reference art. Specifically, the Kincaid figure is modeled on the infamous final page artwork from Spawn issue 5.
This has been one of our most-popular fan requests over the years and we're happy to finally be able to bring this figure to our collectors' shelves.
This item will only be available through the online Store at spawn.com in October. Until then, enjoy the photography.

Need Help with Phyllo Dough
I'm making Giada's Smoked Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomato Cigars for an appetizer this evening. I want to prep them this morning and keep them in the fridge until ready to bake. Will this affect the phyllo?
re: lynnlato
Yes, cover them -- I was going to suggest a kitchen towel, but perhaps Lynnlato has a better suggestion?
re: lynnlato
I would place them in the smalled possible pan that will accommodate them and them place plastic wrap over them. A air-tight Rubbermaid-esque container would be the best.
They don't need to be brought back to room temp before baking.
re: Kelli2006
Just make sure that the outside of your phyllo rolls are well buttered or oiled. Before covering with plastic wrap refrigerate until butter has hardened or the plastic will stick to them and tear them when you remove it.

New Mexico - UTSA Box Score in PDF Format
SAN ANTONIO, Texas --- New Mexico softball belted four home runs on its way to a 15-7 six inning run-rule victory over UTSA Thursday at Roadrunner Field. The Lobos set season-high marks with 15 runs, four homers and 14 hits against the Roadrunners. UNM had five batters record at least two hits and improved to 15-10 overall. UTSA had four home runs as well and dropped to 16-14 on the season.
Sophomore Sara Loeffelholz led off the game with a first pitch homer over the right center field fence. The long ball was the fourth of the year for Loeffelholz and gave UNM a 1-0 lead.
The Roadrunners took their first lead of the game in the bottom of the second inning after hitting two home runs. Sophomore Kelly Cato gave UTSA a 2-1 lead with a two-run shot to left field. Kappler's long ball plated Kristin Kappler who reached on a double. Kourtney Jones added another run with a solo homer to left center. The Roadrunners finished the inning with three runs on three hits and led the game 3-1 after two.
New Mexico regained a 4-3 lead in the third inning. Senior Lindsey Elcess blasted a three-run homer to left center plating Tianna George and Loeffelholz. George reached base with an infield-single while Loeffelholz walked. The home run for Elcess was her team-leading ninth of the year and cleared the scoreboard. Elcess moved into sole possession of third place on the all-time home run list with 27.
UTSA tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom of the third inning on a solo homer by Leanne Risberg. Risberg belted a line shot down the left field line. After the homer, the Roadrunners had two runners on-base with one out but UNM managed to get out of the inning.
The Lobos broke open the game with a five-run fifth inning. UNM batted around the lineup and collected five singles. Freshman Gabriella Parra delivered a two RBI base loaded single up the middle scoring George and Samantha Hughes. Sophomore Katie Gilmore had a run-scoring single to right in the inning while junior Analise Rubalcava scored two runs with a single up the middle. UNM erupted for a 9-5 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth inning.
Whitney Balch helped UTSA climb back into the game with a three-run home run to left center. Balch blasted a 0-2 pitch deep allowing Risberg and Holmes to score after walking. UNM had two-out before the homer and managed to escape the inning with a 9-7 lead.
New Mexico responded with six runs in the sixth and extended its lead to 15-7. Hughes hit a solo home run to left and collected her first of the year. Gilmore followed four batters later with a three-run shot to right. Freshman Kim Holyfield and senior Ashley Allen had run-scoring singles in the inning.

As well as numerous cultural attractions in the old Medina which are best explored on a guided walking tour or by horse-drawn caleche, Marrakech has a great range of outdoor activity options including quad biking, buggy adventures, horse riding and camel trek excursions. Helicopter and balloon flights operate throughout much of the year (depending on weather conditions) and offer a superb bird's eye view of the famous Red City.
Within a 1 hour drive from Marrakech are the spectacular Atlas Mountains. With a backdrop of North Africa's highest peak, snow-capped Jebel Toubkal, Imlil village is the hub of Atlas treks with several half or full day walking options available. Oukaimeden is another popular walking centre (and also a ski resort in winter). The Ourika Valley offers gentler walks in the foothills of the Atlas whilst Ouirgane is a particularly scenic village set on a reservoir.
The Cascades d'Ouzoud and Cascades d'Immouzer are two of Morocco's greatest waterfalls – both accessible on day trips. Should you wish to chill by a large pool in an out-of-town tropical setting, take your pick from Nikki Beach or the Beldi Country Club. Families may enjoy a visit to Oasiria, a water park with beach. Even the Atlantic coast is not too far away – the old Portuguese walled city of Essaouira is a popular day trip.
For evening entertainment Chez Ali offers 'Arabian Night' shows while numerous venues offer live music and belly dancers. Moroccan cooking courses are growing in popularity as are the number of golf courses.
The team at Riad Africa will be pleased to provide advice and assist with bookings of activities.

The decision proved costly for Cooper as Matt McClure gave Wycombe's survival hopes a massive boost as he scored a header in the second half to take all three points.
Jack Barmby had earlier given play-off chasing Hartlepool the lead before the break but Wycombe came from behind thanks to second-half goals from Dean Morgan and McClure.
Cooper said: "The referee said there was contact but that it's a coming together.
"Who knows exactly what happened. He got bundled from behind and lost his footing.
"The defender's trying to get back and he can't get goal side of Luke. He's putting him under pressure from behind to try and avoid Luke from getting a shot off but he's bundled him over.
"It's a penalty and a red-card. We can't do anything about it because he hasn't given it. Why can he give decisions all over the pitch but not make the big ones? It baffles me but I can't do much about it.
"I've had a word with the referee to have a look because we believe we've been harshly treated.
"I know for a fact that if I went into the referee's office half an hour after the game that the answers would be ready so I'm not going to do that. I've done it twice this season and it becomes a pointless exercise."

Editorial: Initiative could help focus job skills on fields with better opportunities
A paradox of the nation's current economic condition is that millions of people are unemployed yet many employers are reporting difficulty finding candidates who have the skills to fill available jobs.
That gap is troubling. It suggests that the nation's educational institutions are falling short in providing the skills and knowledge to students that are necessary for them to find a place in the 21st Century workplace. It also could be a sign that educators and employers aren't communicating well enough about the fields that hold the most promise for jobs in the years ahead.
Fortunately, there are efforts under way to address this issue.
One is being undertaken in West Virginia, where representatives from the education field and business and industry are teaming up to develop courses aimed at preparing students for careers in advanced energy, power and engineered systems. The Mountain State was among 12 states chosen by the Southern Regional Education Board to participate in forming the "Preparation for Tomorrow" curriculum for career technical centers.
The program requires each of the states to develop four standards-based career technical courses in high-demand, -skilled and -wage career areas attuned to that state's economic needs and opportunities. The states will then share the specifics of the courses with each other.
West Virginia picked the energy and power curriculum for secondary schools to prepare high school students for potential careers, with the courses being made available at career technical centers statewide. Choosing an energy industry focus makes sense for West Virginia, considering the growing natural gas opportunities in the state was well as its long history in coal production.
One of the program's advantages is that it brings together educational and industry officials to develop what should be curricula focused on the energy industry's needs. American Electric Power engineers and representatives of the oil and gas industry are involved, as well as faculty from Marshall University, West Virginia University Institute of Technology, West Virginia University at Parkersburg and Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College.
Another is that West Virginia will be in a position to implement courses developed in other states if the subject matter helps fill workforce demands without having to create the courses here.
West Virginia already has made strides in better equipping itself to offer educational and training opportunities in more popular career fields by separating its community and technical colleges from their parent universities. Among the reasons was to strengthen the colleges' ability to help with workforce development. In addition, just last week the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing, which has several facilities in the state including in Huntington, highlighted the training it offers in skills associated with manufacturing. RCBI also collaborates with Mountwest Community and Technical College to offer machinists training for MCTC students.
The so-called skills gap between job-seekers and available positions won't be eliminated overnight, but it's heartening to see that various stakeholders are finding the means to attack it.

It is not enough for President Obama to put forward a series of utterly false statements on behalf of his effort to engineer the wholesale reinvention of American health care. No, he has to position himself as the great truth teller in the process. His critics are "simply dishonest," Obama said during his health-care town-hall meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado, on Saturday.
In his New York Times op-ed, Obama decries the "wild misrepresentations" of his detractors. The president is the Child of Light pitted against the Forces of Darkness. Here's the thing, though: Obama, in possession of the largest megaphone in the world, is himself being simply dishonest and employing wild misrepresentations of the facts. By now the list is well known and seemingly grows by the week, to the point that it is getting difficult to track the assortment of false claims. But let's try:
Obama promised his health-care overhaul would decrease costs; the CBO has shown how the various plans he has embraced would dramatically increase costs. Obama says that, under the plans he has blessed, everyone can keep their health-care plan; the CBO has shown us why that claim is untrue. Obama says preventive care saves money; once again, courtesy of the CBO, we know that assertion is false. The president says the AARP has endorsed ObamaCare; the AARP put out a statement to the effect that what Obama had said was "inaccurate" and that the White House had to issue a retraction. Obama claimed that after a meeting with representatives of insurance companies, drug companies, and hospitals, they committed to him that they would reduce costs by 1.5 percent per year; people who attended the meeting said that such a claim was untrue, which forced the White House to release a statement that the president "misspoke"—before it retracted its retraction, doing yet more damage to the truth.
Obama portrays his critics as tools of special interests—yet he has assembled as powerful a group of special interests on his behalf as you can imagine (the coalition that is supporting the White House's health-care ad campaign includes the American Medical Association; Families USA; the Federation of American Hospitals; the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, known as PhRMA; and the Service Employees International Union).
In his Times op-ed, Obama—who promised to lead America in a civil and high-minded debate, one in which he would address respectfully those who have differences with him—also attacks the motivations of his critics, saying that "the cynics and the naysayers will continue to exploit fear and concerns for political gains." And then he informs us that this is a "complicated and critical issue, and it deserves a serious debate."
I agree, and like many other Americans, I wish the president would engage in such a debate. But he has chosen another path, one built largely on deception, and he is paying a very high political price for it. ObamaCare is being undone by a series of stubborn facts—facts the president can deny but cannot refute. The Congressional Budget Office, in an act of admirable courage and honesty, has ripped huge, gaping holes into the administration's health-care hull. Yet Mr. Obama, rather than admitting the truth, is doubling down on his misinformation campaign. And in the process, he must cast himself in the role of the one honest man whom Diogenes went in search of. President Obama's self-conceit is now edging toward self-parody.

Gold Coast Mayoral candidate, Keith Douglas started the ball rolling in 2007 by lobbying hard for artificial reefs in the Gold Coast. Now his push for new reefs has become intertwined with his plans to improve diving and surfing amenities.
Keith Douglas on the water
As the population of the city continues to expand by the thousands, an increasing number of new-to-the-sport surfers are taking to the waves. They've read about D-bah, the Groyne and the Alley and have no idea why local surfers are getting hot under the collar.
'Things have become too competitive out there and the last thing a surfer wants is to wait for an hour in the line-up, only to have a newbie cut in on his wave,' said Douglas.
The surfing industry contributes $3.3 billion annually to the local economy, but if the Gold Coast wants to retain its crown as a Surfer's Paradise, then it needs to develop new breaks, new industry opportunities and relive some of the pressure on the most in-demand sites.
'South Straddie has some fantastic breaks, but getting there can be a challenge. That's part of the allure though, as it's not the kind of site where tourists and new residents are going to try their hand at the sport.'
With Tipplers currently in a state of disrepair, Douglas believes that opportunity exists to create a bush surf camp on the island. This would be enhanced by new indigenous experiences, recreational fishing facilities and low-impact amenities for the boating community.

Two oil workers who survived days floating in a life raft in the Gulf of Mexico after they evacuated their disabled research vessel during a tropical storm have filed lawsuits in the incident.
The family of a third worker who died has also filed a lawsuit.
The workers claim they were abandoned by a ship that could have
taken them to safety.
The three men were among 10 oil workers on a liftboat in the Bay
of Campeche who had to abandon the vessel on Sept. 8 after it was
crippled by Tropical Storm Nate.
The workers' attorney, Francis Spagnoletti, said Friday the
workers suffered a harrowing ordeal that could have been prevented.
One of the companies being sued declined to comment. The other
two did not return calls.

Today we honour the men and women who have dedicated their lives in whole or in part, for their fellow men. While called Veterans Day in the US, November 11th is a special day in many countries (known as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day) as a day to recognize those who have served in war. (The US also celebrates Memorial Day, in May, which specifically recognizes those who died during service; Veterans Day recognizes ALL veterans.)
The numerology of 11/11 is no coincidence, and many areas conduct a moment of silence at 11am. This is because the armistice to end World War I was signed at 11am on November 11th.
For many people this is an often-overlooked holiday, but I believe it is important to take the time to reflect. We are almost a century away from WWI. Have we learned anything along the way? When I was growing up the theme of our Remembrance Day ceremonies was always "Lest We Forget" and I think it's an important message. We do this, the ceremony, the silence, the wreaths, we do this all, every year, lest we forget. We, who haven't gone to war, seen and participated in the ravages, lost soul, heart, and life to war, we cannot forget the cost. We wear the poppy to commemorate the veterans, and to commit ourselves to peace. Lest we forget. I hope you will join me today, in a few solemn moments of reflection. I truly pray for a world of peace.
