WALLA WALLA — The city of College Place is demanding $2 million it claims it is owed from a local car dealer for the Commercial Drive project.
The city filed a civil lawsuit this week alleging breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation on the part of defendants Mark W. and Susan Gilbert, GA Group Properties and Gilbert Imports. Mark Gilbert is the owner of Gilbert Auto Honda and other auto dealerships.
The suit alleges the defendants have failed to make payments promised to the city for construction of Commercial Drive. The road was built in late 2008 to serve Mark Gilbert's auto dealership and Community Bank, both of which are on commercially zoned property alongside State Route 125. Along with the auto dealership and bank, city officials also hoped the new road would entice other businesses to locate in the area.
The suit was filed Tuesday in Walla Walla County Superior Court.
Calls to Mark Gilbert and his attorney, Kris Hedine, for comment had not been returned as of press time today.
According to documents filed by the city, to finance construction of Commercial Drive, the city entered into a development agreement with GA Group and other landowners in the vicinity. As part of the agreement, the GA group agreed to dedicate a portion of its property for the road and pay the city $150,000 after the City Council approved the development agreement.
At the time the agreement was approved by the city, the Commercial Drive property was subdivided into four lots. The auto dealership was built on one of those lots.
As part of the development agreement, the lawsuit states the GA Group also agreed to pay the city $135,000 per year over the ensuing 15 years, minus the amount of sales tax revenues the city received from the business. "To secure payment of these amounts, defendant GA Group gave the City a deed of trust against Lot 3 and another deed of trust against Lot 4," the lawsuit states.
According to College Place City Administrator Pat Reay, all of the subdivided property was subject to a deed of trust in favor of Community Bank because the bank had lent the Gilberts money and the property was pledged to secure that loan. In order to aid development of the Commercial Drive project, the bank agreed to release its interest in lot 3. This meant the city would gain possession of the lot if Gilbert defaulted on the development agreement.
The bank also agreed to reduce the amount of its lien indebtedness against lot 4 to $450,000 to afford the city additional security should GA Properties default on its obligations under the development agreement, Reay said.
The suit states GA Group and Gilbert "expressly represented and warranted to the City" in the 2008 development agreement that lots 3 and 4 were free of liens, defects and encumbrances except for the deed of trust in favor of Community Bank, affecting lot 4. Gilbert dedicated the part of his property needed for Commercial Drive and the city relied on those promises to proceed with the project, the suit states. The drive opened for traffic in December 2008.
After the new road opened, the suit alleges Gilbert failed to make the initial payment of $150,000 called for by the development agreement and then failed to follow up with the annual payments of $135,000 due in 2009 and 2010.
On or about April 30, 2010, Community Bank started a foreclosure proceeding against GA Group's property. The suit states the company then located potential new financing from another investor, but that person was unwilling to provide new financing unless the city would agree to release its interest in lot 3 upon the opening of the Honda dealership, which occurred in the summer of 2011.
Because the chance of the city recouping its investment would be diminished if new financing was not obtained, the city entered into a second development agreement with the GA Group. The agreement required the company make up for failing to pay the initial $150,000 by paying the city $171,512.07 by Oct. 30, 2010, which it did, the suit states.
The modified agreement also moved the start date for the annual $135,000 payments, minus sales tax revenues generated by the business received by the city, to Feb. 15, 2012. In addition, the new agreement mandated "the annual payments are due regardless of whether or not the developer's business … are open and generating sales tax revenues to the city." and provided that if the developer defaulted, the payments would be "accelerated" and immediately become due to the city.
The lawsuit charges that the GA Group again failed to make the first $135,000 payment due on Feb. 15, 2012. The city then served the company with a notice of default on April 30, 2012.
At that time, the suit states the city discovered the lot the dealership was located on was not a business of GA Group but was owned by Gilbert Imports. This violated the terms of the agreement between the city and the company, the suit charges.
The suit states that a month later the city also discovered that two years before the 2008 development agreement, Gilbert had pledged the Commercial Drive property as collateral to secure a $1 million obligation to Sallee Chevrolet, an Oregon corporation. If the city had known about this, it would not have entered into the 2008 agreement, because the property was not "free of liens, defects or encumbrances," other than the Community Bank deed of trust, the suit states.
Total damages being sought by the city amount to $2,025,000 plus interest starting from March 23, 2012, and going forward, less the amount of tax revenues paid to the city from sales generated by Gilbert Auto Honda.
Reay said today the cost of the Commercial Drive project to date is about $3 million. The cost of the project has not been fully realized because access to Myra Road required the city to agree to improvements on Myra as a condition for approval of access to that roadway. Those costs will be part of the proposed Myra Road Lowering Project, which is a joint effort between College Place and Walla Walla.

Knoxville Coaching Staff Needs Players To Be Tougher For Season Push
Posted By Sports On September 6, 2011 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Knoxville Football Coach Troy Rider wants his players to be tougher physically and mentally. He says the first two games, Knoxville has been out worked on the line and when things do not go as planned, they get down. He cites Ryan Douglas who suffered an ankle injury in week one and has come back to play on offense and defense. Knoxville takes on A-D-M to open in class 3A district eight this Friday.

The Four Horsemen: Riding to Liberty in Post-Napoleonic Europe (Oxford University Press), by Richard Stites
Jul. 23, 2014
Revolutions swept Europe after Napoleon's defeat as
conservative regimes tried to hold the line against what appeared to be the
march of history. In his final book before his death, Georgetown University's
Richard Stites explores 1820s-era revolutions in Spain, Russia, Italy and
Greece. Although the topic may seem obscure to the general public, Stites
writes with an engaging wit sadly lacking in much academic writing, delivering
his judgments with nuanced emotional as well as intellectual understanding for
the chief actors and the issues of free expression, national liberation and
constitutional governance they grappled with. Many of the problems faced by the
revolutionaries of the 1820s are still with us 200 years later.

Stephen: Last week was disastrous for the Detroit City Council, and the city.
Not just because the council booted a no-brainer offer to have Belle Isle become a state park, but because of what that failure looks like in broader context.
Truth be told, this council is eons better than what we were faced with four years ago, when members were literally singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" in defiance of the plan to regionalize Cobo Hall's management.
The five members who signed the agreement to let the state help manage a financial turnaround are, generally, part of an important reform block. Most of them are just finishing up their first terms. And they ran on the idea of change. (Councilman Andre Spivey is off-and-on as a sixth reformer.)
• GRAPHIC: Which Detroit City Council members will run again?
But all of that progress could swirl down the drain this year, now that seven council members will be elected by district. Look at the district maps, and it's tough to see quality, reform-minded candidates emerging in at least three, or as many as four, of the seven districts.
Can you imagine backsliding from the indecision and silly duplicity that skunked the Belle Isle deal?
Nancy: Unfortunately, I'm imagining it all too clearly. Under the new system, seven of the nine council members will serve a district; two will be elected at-large.
Now, there is certainly some electoral alchemy still at work, but two of the newly drawn districts -- 3 and 7 -- don't have a resident incumbent. (And it's too late for anyone to move; the city's new charter requires candidates for a district seat to live in situ for one year prior to election.)
Only a few incumbent council members have announced their intentions: Council member James Tate is running for the District 1 seat. Neither Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown nor Council member Brenda Jones, both District 2 residents, has said whether they're running, though scuttlebutt has it both would run at-large. Council members Kwame Kenyatta and Andre Spivey live in District 4, but Kenyatta's not running, and Spivey -- who is running -- is considering an at-large seat. Council President Charles Pugh isn't running, making Council member Saunteel Jenkins the only District 5 resident incumbent. She plans to run at-large. In an interview with the Free Press last month, Council member Ken Cockrel Jr. was cagey about his plans, but it's likely he'd run for the District 6 seat.
I went deep nerd on you there, but let's do the math: There are potentially five open seats. And while it's likely Tate and Cockrel will hold on to their seats, there are no guarantees.
That's a lot of change.
So let's talk about those two wide-open districts. Districts 3 and 7 are in areas of tremendous disinvestment. In District 3 in 2010, about 24.6% of registered voters cast ballots. That's about 12,000 voters, a really gettable number.
Races are likely to become a lot more financially accessible, too. In 2009, Jenkins, then a newcomer, spent about $195,000 to win her seat. Incumbent JoAnn Watsons spent about $129,000. But in state legislative races last year, Rose Mary Robinson's seat in the Michigan House of Representatives -- state legislative districts are comparable in size to the new council districts -- cost about $39,000. It's a significant drop both in terms of votes and dollars.
Stephen: Right. So there's a very low barrier for entry to win these new council seats. I'd imagine that in some areas, like District 3 on the far northeast side, or District 7 on the far west, someone might be able to mount a successful campaign with as little as $20,000.
And when you think about the possible names -- yeesh. It's not necessarily a strong roster. Think of the term-limited former state legislators who could easily raise that kind of cash. Or county commissioners. (I know Bernard Parker has talked about running in the near east-side district, for example.)
And interest groups -- city unions, for example, or even the Chamber of Commerce -- could handily raise enough to plow into several districts, and come away with wins that would give them influence over a plurality or a majority.
The point is that Detroiters who are pushing reform in the city need to get organized, identify quality candidates, recruit them and finance them to be sure that the momentum on council, fragile and inconsistent as it is, doesn't get sapped by a new wave of backward-thinking members.
The good thing about the district system is that it opens up the possibility of winning a council seat to far more people than the at-large system.
But that's in theory. In practice, it could mean turning the council back into the laughingstock it was before 2009, or worse -- making it as ridiculous as, say, the Detroit school board.
Nancy: Exactly. Detroit is blessed with dozens of strong churches, block clubs, neighborhood associations, community development organizations and nonprofits. This is the time for those groups to begin to identify and support candidates who truly represent Detroit districts.
I don't believe that money in and of itself is enough to secure an election (just ask Matty Moroun about that one) but in the absence of a viable alternative, the scenario you describe -- special interest groups funding campaigns of sympathetic candidates -- is all too likely. And having a loaded council could stymie the efforts of the next administration (or Gov. Rick Snyder, if an emergency financial manager is appointed) to fix the city's budget problems.
And that's another wrinkle. If Snyder appoints an EFM, what does that do to the pool of council (or even mayoral) candidates? I'm sure that many motivated, engaged residents would be turned off by the idea of serving in name only. But that's the wrong response. Even a municipal bankruptcy wouldn't last forever, and it's absolutely essential that, whatever form Detroit's personal fiscal cliff takes, there are competent leaders on the other side.
Stephen: The key is organization. What I'd love to see (and it has been a long time since anyone in Detroit did this) would be a slate-style campaign, formed around the current reform majority on the council.
If those members could help identify, and support, newcomers in districts with no incumbents, it could be a great organizing start for reform-minded interests to decide on their funding and support.
What we can't afford is a free-for-all, with none of the people committed to change in Detroit taking charge and trying to lead. Districts present a different challenge, and far more communities to worry about than the at-large system. But they're not an excuse to sit back and hope (or pray) that things will just work out.
Everyone should know they won't. This is Detroit.

Electric Rule 21 is a tariff that describes the interconnection, operating and metering requirements for generation facilities to be connected to a utility's distribution system, over which the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has jurisdiction. The Rule 21 tariff for each of California's large investor owned utilities (IOUs) is available on each IOU's website. Note that the posted Rule 21 may not reflect updates to the tariff that may be pending before the CPUC:
The CPUC's open interconnection proceeding is R.11-09-011. For information or to discuss a matter related to distribution system interconnection, contact Marc Monbouquette, Energy Division, at email@example.com or 415-355-5504.
The Smart Inverter Working Group Phase 3 Workshop was held on September 25, 2015 in the CPUC auditorium. Presentations from the workshop and a link to the video webcast can be found on the CEC's Rule 21 Smart Inverter Working Group website.
Following a directive in the R.11-09-011 procedural schedule adopted by ALJ Bushey's August 19, 2015 ruling, the investor-owned utilities have produced a webinar-style video laying out details of the Rule 21 application and review process for energy storage devices.
The Smart Inverter Working Group released its Phase 2 recommendations for DER communication protocols in February 2015. The CPUC Energy Division is currently working with the IOUs to implement these recommendations in Rule 21, the IOUs' interconnection technical handbooks, and an IEEE 2030.5 implementation guide.

Workshop presentation materials:
About the Rule 21 Working Group
The intent of the Rule 21 Working Group is to build consensus among the CPUC, IOUs, generators, and advocates for Rule 21 reforms to meet the technical needs and policy goals of interconnecting distributed generation. The Rule 21 Working Group succeeded at this goal in its past work, making California's Rule 21 a national model tariff establishing metering and operating standards for interconnecting distributed generation resources. Following three years of extensive change in the statutory, technological, and generator context, however, Rule 21 is widely agreed to be in need of reconsideration.
The purpose of this kickoff meeting is to initiate discussion of the issues emerging under Rule 21 that may be hindering the achievement of California's distributed generation goals. Below are examples of such issues that CPUC has identified:
June 20 2008: Workshop on Rule 21
On June 20, 2008, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) held a workshop on the topic of the Rule 21 interconnection standard. The primary focus of the workshop was to discuss the transition of Rule 21 oversight from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to the CPUC.

Boeing making locked-down Android phone for government
updated 02:00 pm EDT, Thu April 12, 2012
Boeing secure Android phone due late 2012
Boeing has confirmed in a conversation that it's developing a very secure Android phone for governments and corporations. The unnamed hardware is intended to give access to everyday apps while still keeping communications under tight guard, Network and Space Systems president Roger Krone told National Defense. The details of the hardware weren't mentioned, but it would be much lower than previous-generation super-secure phones and above the cost of everyday Android phones.
Along with companies and defense contractors, it could be useful for the police and other "emergency responder" services that might not want their phone calls intercepted by someone else.
The device may not necessarily have the Boeing name attached, and it's not known which companies Boeing might be using as partners. As Boeing's first cellphone, it's likely relying on an established Android phone designer like HTC, Motorola, or Samsung for help.
Development is mostly complete and should have the release by the end of 2012, although sales might be kept to widescale deals rather than selling to individuals. Android is known to be the future platform of choice for the US military, although the Army Software Marketplace is serving regular-level troops with iOS apps.

Sanford consortium, Palomar College, Riverwalk take Gold Nugget awards; special judges' honor goes to San Pasqual Academy
San Diego County returned to the gold circle at the 49th annual Gold Nugget program in San Francisco for architecture and design.
Local projects won three grand awards — up from zero last year — 17 merit awards and one special judges' commendation for the San Pasqual Academy.
The winners were announced Thursday at the PCBC annual conference and exposition, formerly called the Pacific Coast Builders Conference, that brings together commercial and residential developers, primarily from Western states.
The contest, conducted while real estate development remains in the doldrums, still attracted 456 entries in 59 categories from throughout the U.S. and other countries. Builder magazine was the co-sponsor.
"The entries reflected the innovative, skillful and high-quality concepts development teams are producing in response to challenging markets," said Iowa architect Stephen Moore, one of six judges on the jury.
Carl Lagoni, vice chairman of the Bassenian/Lagoni Architects firm in Newport Beach, said residential entries showed "an exceptionally high bar" for others to top nationally and internationally.
"We were truly impressed by the design work we saw across the range of project types," Lagoni said.
The Gold Nugget program is considered the oldest and one of the most-prestigious design competitions in the building industry. Ideas that appear in commercial and residential projects often signal trends that are emulated elsewhere.
Merit awards
The merit-winning projects, some in multiple categories, were: Grossmont Trolley Station in La Mesa; Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad; Del Mar Highlands Town Center; Ninth and Broadway downtown San Diego housing project; Origen housing in Mission Valley; 450 Orange housing in Coronado; Merrill Gardens senior housing in Bankers Hill; Robertson Ranch site plan in Carlsbad; Sandalwood at La Costa Oaks housing in Carlsbad; Arista at the Crosby housing in Rancho Santa Fe; Brighton Place housing in Poway; and San Pasqual Academy in Escondido.
Among the top categories, Sandalwood and Arista were merit winners for detached residential project of the year, and Brighton Place and Origen were merit winners for attached suburban project of the year.
Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine Grand award for office or professional building
Location: La Jolla
Builder: Hensel Phelps
Developer: Lankford & Associates
Architect/Designer: Fentress Architects
Associate Architect: Davis Davis Architects
Judges' statement: "There is a lot to love about this project. The light-filled and animated interior spaces should provide a very stimulating workplace. Metaphors were flying during the judges' meeting when it came time to talk about the super-articulated exterior. DNA? Cell division? It is marvelous to look at and shows the collective inspirational powers of the aggregated research facilities."
Palomar College Multi-Disciplinary Building Grand award for nonresidential education building
Location: San Marcos
Builder: CW Driver
Owner/Developer: Palomar Community College District

Judges' statement: "While the design team described the many significant sustainable features of this classroom building, the judges were undoubtedly seduced by its forms, which prove that high performance can definitely come in a stunning package. Crisp and taut on the outside, it opens at its heart to a sculpture gallery of whimsical and memorable forms. The photography included in this submittal was stunning, and together with the diagrams, helped to explain and flaunt the building at the same time."

WGU Extending Its Influence: Partnership between Western Governor's University and Indiana Likely to Improve College-Degree Attainment among the State's Minority Students
Watson, Jamal Eric, Diverse Issues in Higher Education
Officials at Western Governor's University--the nation's only nonprofit online university headquartered in Salt Lake City--say a new partnership with Indiana will likely result in thousands of the state's minority students obtaining a college degree.
In June, WGU--founded in the late 1990s with the goal of helping adult learners earn a college degree--established a presence in Indiana. The move was petitioned by legislators looking to find creative ways to promote educational opportunities, particularly among minority adults who trail far behind their White counterparts in earning college degrees. According to state census figures, Whites in Indiana are three times more likely than Blacks to hold a college degree.
WGU is a competency-based university that caters to adult learners and rewards credit for work experience and helps cater to students who are too busy to attend traditional college classes, says WGU Indiana Chancellor Allison Barber.
"Our model is customized to really help adult learners who are from rural communities, first-generation and minorities to earn a college degree," says Barber, who adds that students from underrepresented backgrounds account for 80 percent of WGU's student population. "We provide a flexible and affordable option that works well with our adult learners."
The new collaboration between Indiana and WGU allows state money to cover financial aid for Indiana residents who enroll at the university. The Lumina Foundation for Education and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will front the dollars to support the initial costs.
"WGU Indiana is a great example of the innovative thinking that is very much needed in higher education today," says Lumina President Jamie Merisotis. "Its online, competency-based approach to learning shows great promise as a cost-effective model for delivering quality higher education."
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a member of WGU's Board of Trustees, has championed the partnership as "Indiana's eighth state university" and says states have to think outside of the box when it comes to educating their work force.
"WGU Indiana will fill the clearest and most challenging gap remaining in our family of higher education opportunities: helping thousands of adult Hoosiers attain the college degrees they've always wanted and needed, on a schedule they can manage (and) at a cost they can afford," he says.
The tuition to attend WGU Indiana will be about $3,000 over a six-month period, says Barber, who adds that there is no restriction on how many credits a student can take during that period. …

Brick-and-mortar retailers have urged federal lawmakers to give states the ability to collect sales taxes from online retailers. For those retailers that operate physical stores, the issue is seen as a matter of fairness.
Inside This Issue - News
WASHINGTON – Brick-and-mortar retailers have urged federal lawmakers to give states the ability to collect sales taxes from online retailers. For those retailers that operate physical stores, the issue is seen as a matter of fairness.
"The National Retail Federation has long supported sales tax fairness legislation, and we are encouraged by the momentum that is building toward a solution," NRF senior vice president David French said late last month. "As retailing evolves and Internet sales become a more prominent portion of total retail sales, it is critical that Congress support pro-small business reform of a broken sales and use tax collection system.
French's comments were submitted in writing to the House Judiciary Committee in connection with a hearing on H.R. 3179, also known as the Marketplace Equity Act, which was authored by representatives Steve Womack (R., Ark.) and Jackie Speier (D., Calif.). The bill was filed in response to the 1992 Supreme Court decision in Quill v. North Dakota. In that case the court ruled that states can only require out-of-state retailers to collect sales taxes if they have a physical presence in the state.
"Allowing states to capture remote sales tax revenue equitably regardless of a retailer's business model is a meaningful pro-small business reform of a broken collection system," French said. "This competitive disadvantage must be cured with congressional action."
The Retail Industry Leaders Association also spoke out in favor of the legislation at the hearing, arguing that both represented important steps toward creating a level playing field for all types of retailers.
"Retailers compete on price every single day," argued RILA executive vice president for public affairs Katherine Lugar. "And it's time for the government to stop meddling in the free market by giving one segment of the retail industry special treatment over everyone else. Regardless of whether a sale happens in a store or online, the state sales tax collected should be the same. Government shouldn't be picking winners and losers by giving online companies an artificial competitive advantage."
RILA and its retail members are encouraged that legislation will be passed this year, Lugar noted, pointing out that Womack and Speier have built strong bipartisan support for their bill, which has 47 members of the House signed on as cosponsors. The bill also has support from Republican governors across the country, RILA says.
"Retailers have been waiting a long time, and this hearing is the next big step forward toward restoring a true free market," Lugar said. "We remain committed on behalf of America's retailers to working with lawmakers in both parties, in the House and the Senate, to push for action this year that levels the playing field once and for all."
To support its position, RILA marshaled more than a dozen executives from state-based retail associations to press legislators to pass so-called e-fairness legislation this year.
"We're here to remind lawmakers of the thousands of Main Street businesses in Indiana that are imploring Congress to end special treatment for online-only retailers," said Indiana Retail Council president Grant Monahan. "With thousands of local jobs at stake, we need Congress to act by the end of the year."
Retailers say Internet retailers now enjoy an automatic 5% to 10% price advantage over stores required to collect sales taxes.

New Mexico homeschoolers allowed one public school sport
Home-schoolers allowed one sport, 11 July 2007, Valencia County News Bulletin, Belen, New Mexico
A new law passed by the New Mexico Legislature in its 2007 regular session allows home-schooled athletes to participate in one sport per school year.
Senate bill 1098 permits home-schooled athletes to participate in "one school district athletic activity at the public school in the attendance zone in which the student resides," in accordance with New Mexico Activities Association guidelines, the bill states.
On the NMAA's Web site, a page called "Handbooks and Forms" contains the NMAA handbook, which devotes Section 10 to issues regarding home-schooled, alternative and charter school students.
Marquez said NMAA administration would explain the new law at an athletic directors' meeting in late July or early August, and then again at the association's annual meeting in October.
Marquez, like Chavez, said only so much planning can go into the new arrangement. Changes and adjustments will have to be dealt with on the fly.
"At this time, we do not know what impact home school students will have on the NMAA," she said. "Most coaches and athletic directors are not aware of the new law."

General Terms and Conditions
1. General
As a matter of principle, only written or confirmed agreements shall be effective. Different general terms and conditions shall only apply if they have been expressly accepted by Semperit in writing. Otherwise, the following General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively.
2. Scope of delivery
For the scope of delivery Semperit's written acknowledgment of order shall be decisive. In the case of serial products excess or short deliveries of up to 10% shall be permitted and deemed agreed in each case.
3. Prices
The minimum order value per product and delivery shall be EUR 1,000 unless expressly agreed otherwise. Deliveries shall be made and invoiced at the agreed prices and packaging costs shall be included in the product price. Other pricing shall be in accordance with the agreements made and/or the offer on which the delivery is based. All moulds and tools manufactured by Semperit shall remain the property of Semperit as the cost contributions made by the customer only constitute a pro-rata portion. If Semperit pays for the freight, Semperit shall be entitled to choose the delivery route at its sole discretion. If the customer requests express shipping, the customer shall bear the additional costs resulting therefrom.
4. Delivery periods
Semperit shall, in principle, be obliged to observe the confirmed delivery dates but shall be released from this obligation in certain conditions. This shall apply to cases of force majeure occurring at Semperit itself, at its suppliers or its shipping companies. This includes but shall not be limited to business interruptions or traffic disruptions; fire, floods; shortage of labour, energy or raw materials; strike, lockout or official measures. In such cases Semperit shall be released from timely delivery and entitled to discontinue deliveries without being obliged to make subsequent deliveries. Claims for damages on the ground of delays in or discontinuance of delivery shall be excluded to the extent permitted by law. The purchaser shall only have a statutory right to rescind the contract. If timely dispatch of ordered goods is delayed at the purchaser's request, he may be charged the costs incurred in connection with storage and at least 0.5% of the value of the goods for each month of delay as from one week after readiness for dispatch was advised. After a maximum period of six (6) months the total invoice amount shall become due for payment and the goods shall be stored at the customer's cost and risk or scrapped at the customer's request.
5. Passing of risk and acceptance
The goods shall be shipped exclusively at the recipient's risk. Semperit shall only pay for damage to or loss of goods during transportation if a transport insurance was taken out against that risk. For such claims to be recognised, complaints, if any, shall be immediately recorded on the shipping documents at the time of delivery and notified to the forwarder.
6. Returns
As a matter of principle, goods that have been produced properly and in time will not be accepted back, since Semperit exclusively produces for specific customers and specific orders.
7. Retention of title
- Goods shall be delivered subject to retention of title. Goods shall remain the property of the seller until full payment of all of his receivables, including future ones, under his business relation with Semperit.
- The purchaser cannot acquire title to the goods by processing them into a new item. The purchaser may process on behalf of the seller, if applicable. That means that also processed goods serve the purpose of securing retention of title. If the purchaser processes goods together with third-party goods, i.e. goods which do not belong to the seller, the seller shall become the co-owner of the new items in proportion of the value of his goods to that of the third-party goods. The new items resulting from processing shall be deemed goods of the seller which are subject to retention of title.
- The purchaser shall retain his conditional title to the goods vis-à-vis his customers until they have paid the full purchase price.
- All claims of the purchaser from reselling goods that are subject to retention of title shall be assigned to the seller. If the goods that are subject to retention of title are sold by the seller together with third-party goods which do not belong to the seller, be it without or after processing, the purchase price claim shall only be deemed assigned in the amount of the value of the goods that are subject to retention of title.
- The purchaser shall be authorised to collect accounts receivable from the resale. At the seller's request the purchaser shall advise the seller the debtors of the assigned claims. The seller may notify the debtors of the assignment.
- Retention of title by the seller shall be conditional to the extent that title to the goods that are subject to retention of title will immediately pass to the purchaser and the purchaser will be entitled to the assigned claims ipso jure after full payment of his claims under the business relation.
- The seller shall be obliged to release the security to which he is entitled at his option to the extent that the value of the security exceeds 25% of all claims to be secured.
- Cash payments, cheque payments and bank remittances made against submission of an acceptor's bill of the purchaser issued by Semperit shall only constitute performance if and when that bill has been honoured by the drawee and Semperit has, thus, been finally released from liability under the bill. The purchaser shall take out sufficient insurance for goods that are subject to retention of title, including but not limited to fire and theft insurance. Already at this point claims vis-à-vis the insurance in connection with a loss are assigned to Semperit in the total invoice amount. The purchaser shall inform the insurance company of assignment of the claim. Semperit shall immediately be notified of any attachments or other impairment of title, also by third parties, and title shall be confirmed to the third parties and Semperit in writing. Asserting retention of title, in particular by taking back goods, shall not be deemed a rescission of the contract. In the case of default of payment or if Semperit 's title to the goods is jeopardised, taking back of goods shall be admissible at any time. Notwithstanding the purchaser's payment obligation Semperit shall be entitled to sell the goods taken back by it at best price in the open market and to credit the proceeds minus a handling fee of 10% of the value of the goods.
8. Terms of payment
The invoice shall, in principle, be issued on the day of dispatch, i.e. on the day on which the goods are either handed over to the forwarder or to the customer who collects the goods himself. Unless different payment agreements exist, our invoices shall be payable within 10 calendar days with a 2% cash discount or within 30 days without any deduction. As a matter of principle, periods shall start to run on the invoice date. If the 30-day payment period is not observed, default interest in the amount of the applicable discount rate of the regional central bank plus 4% p.a. may be charged.
The date on which the amount is available to Semperit or credited to its account shall be deemed the date of receipt of payment. The risk of the mode of payment shall be borne by the customer. As a matter of principle, no cash discount may be deducted from invoices for costs of tools or other third-party costs, which shall be payable within 10 days. Payments by bill of exchange shall require an express agreement with Semperit, in which case the amount of the bill of exchange may only be finally credited to the customer account if the bill of exchange was honoured within the time limit.
9. Warranty conditions
Semperit shall assume warranty for the products supplied by it exclusively according to the following provisions and on the basis of the Warranty Conditions for EPDM Products. Semperit shall remedy defects of supplied products at its option by subsequent improvement (to the extent possible) or substitute delivery. In both cases the customer shall grant a reasonable grace period. Damage may, in principle, only be recognised if the goods complained about are completely made available to the manufacturer for him to be able to check whether the notification of the defect is correct. Warranty claims shall become statute-barred six (6) months after delivery to the purchaser. In the case of profiles or mouldings that have already been installed or processed this period shall be extended to five (5) years in relation to the quality features of the products. Any replacement that is necessary in such a case shall be subject to prior co-ordination and approval by Semperit to ensure the most cost-effective solution. At Semperit's request its product liability insurance company shall be called in as an additional contracting party for claim settlement, if any. As a matter of principle, warranty claims shall not be assigned. Additional claims, in particular claims for damages of any kind shall be excluded to the extent permitted by law and if they are not covered by Semperit's product liability insurance. Goods which have been complained about for justified reasons may be returned at the manufacturer's cost.
10. Place of performance and place of jurisdiction
The place of performance and the place of jurisdiction for both parties shall be Deggendorf. Semperit shall be entitled to bring an action before District Court or Regional Court Deggendorf irrespective of the amount of the subject of the dispute. If the purchaser does not accept Deggendorf as the place of jurisdiction immediately after the action was brought and upon Semperit's request, he shall, irrespective of the outcome of the proceedings, be obliged to reimburse any and all additional costs incurred by Semperit in connection with provision of evidence of the agreement on the place of jurisdiction or due to the fact that the legal dispute is referred to a court outside Deggendorf.
11. Miscellaneous
If any provisions or parts of these General Terms and Conditions are ineffective, the remaining terms and conditions shall remain effective. The purchaser shall be obliged to effectively agree with Semperit on a supplementary provision which comes as close as possible to the purpose of the ineffective provision. These General Terms and Conditions shall only apply to business transactions with fully qualified business persons as defined by commercial law.

Apply now for 2014 Rural Energy for America Funding
Farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses can apply now for grants and loan guarantees for clean energy projects under the Rural Energy for America Program – or REAP. REAP was renewed in the 2014 Farm Bill and supports a wide range of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, including wind, solar, biogas, biomass, small hydroelectric, geothermal, tidal, wave, and hydroelectric technologies.
An official notice of funding availability is expected in early April, with an application deadline 60 days later. This notice would be for funds from the 2014 appropriation plus funds carried over from previous years (total about $28 million). When the final REAP rule is announced, possibly in June or July, a second funding announcement will be issued for the 2014 mandatory funding ($50 million) from the new Farm Bill. Applications submitted but not funded in the first round will be considered in the second round.
Applicants should also be sure to check in early with the state staff of USDA rural development. They can answer questions, provide useful advice and may need to visit the project during the application process.

Having covered color profiles and website lingo (catch the full series here), I will now move on to the wonderful world of print. If you've ever had to deal with getting something professionally printed, and are not yourself a printer or designer, you've probably been befuddled by terms like DPI, and possibly worried about mention of bleeds and stocks and crops. Not to worry; taking something to print is, usually, a painless and bloodless process if you're properly prepared.
Dots Per Inch, or PPI: Pixels Per Inch. If you have ever heard the term 'resolution' in regards to image quality, this is what it meant. DPI refers to the dot density of an image when it is reproduced as a real physical entity, i.e. printed onto paper or displayed on a screen. In other words, dots per inch is literally a measurement of how many pixels or dots of ink fit in a line 1 inch long. This makes a difference, because generally the higher the DPI, the crisper and better-quality a printed image will be, and the larger you can print an image without losing quality or having it become pixelated. Standard resolution for online or web images is 72 DPI, wheras the minimum standard for printed images is 300 DPI. You can discover the resolution of an image by opening it in a program like Photoshop and bringing up the Image Size window (it will list DPI), or you can ask your designer if an image is of the required resolution for your project.
Have you ever printed something small out on a letter-sized piece of paper, but then when you went to cut it out the scissors couldn't quite get close enough and you end up with that plain white paper smidgeon of a border around your piece? Well, bleeds and crops are the professional printing world's way of eliminating that unsightly problem. Professional printers use large format printers, so unless your project is also pretty large, there will be some trimming to remove the excess plain paper and get your piece to it's actual finished size. To eliminate the possibility of that excess white border, designers set up print pieces to include a bleed – generally 1/8″ to 1/2″ of extra color or picture information that extends beyond the edges of a piece. This bleed ensures that even if the trim line isn't exactly perfect, you just have a continuation of your design instead of that annoying border of plain paper. A crop mark is a designation that tells a printer where the actual piece ends and the bleed begins – i.e. where they should crop/trim the paper at.
Traditional printing presses run pieces through the press one ink color at a time. This means something printed in CMYK (4-color process) runs through a press 4 different times, once for each color. Registration is the method printers use to make sure the paper (and hence the printed colors) line up correctly for each color run through the press. Printers place a special mark at the edge of the press sheet and use that for alignment.
In the printing world, stock refers to paper stock. Choosing a specific paper stock for your print project sounds like it would be as simple as saying 'plain white paper', but it's actually a bit more complicated than that. Paper types vary greatly by material they're made from, finish, weight, and color. Even with plain white paper, you have the options of a cool white, or warm white, or bright white; a matte finish or gloss finish or satin finish; vellum paper, recycled paper, fiber paper, textured paper; thin lightweight paper or thicker cardstock paper. The choices can be overwhelming, but choosing the right paper to print your piece on can really enhance the finished product. Your designer or your printer can look through paper sample books with you until you find one that you like.
What are some print terms that have baffled you? I'll do my best to de-mystify them.
Last time on Decoding Design, I decoded the basic terminology regarding color profiles. This time, I'm going to decode the world of building a website. This is a conversation I have to have fairly often with new clients, so I developed a way to explain it in non-programming terms.
Your website is basically your home on the web, right? So let's go with that metaphor. There are 5 main components and terms you've probably heard regarding having a home on the web: hosting, URL, website, FTP, and mail server.
Hosting is basically the house or apartment. When you buy a hosting account, you are buying space on a server somewhere to store all of the stuff that will make up your website. Depending on how big or flashy your website is going to be, you may only need a small 5MB hosting plan with minimal features (your online efficiency apartment) or you may need a bigger, unlimited space account with all of the advanced programming languages and features enabled (your penthouse condominium or mansion). Naturally, the prices correlate with the size of the hosting account that you need, just like housing. Most hosting accounts need to be renewed annually, although you can buy up to 3 years of hosting at a time. Monthly or yearly payment plans are usually an option.
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, though no one calls it that. It looks like www.yourwebsite.com, and is also called a domain name. The URL or domain name is your website's address, and is what people type into their web browser in order to visit your site. Think of it like a street address for a real house – it tells people where to find you, and is part of how they distinguish your house from another. The cool part is you get to pick your house (hosting) and attach whatever address (domain name) you want to it, as long as it's not already taken. You will have to register your new address (otherwise you don't really have a claim on it, or have it associated with you) and renew it yearly. Most hosting companies offer domain registration services as well, though you can do it through a separate company.
When people refer to a website, they're usually referring to the content and possibly design of it, rather than which hosting plan or domain name you use. The meat of a website is all of the stuff on it – text, pictures or other media, how the pages are organized, how it looks, interactive features, etc. Think of it like all of the stuff in a house – how you designate which rooms are which, how you decide to decorate them, all of the furniture and knick-knacks you fill it with. That is what really makes it your home, your website. In programming terms, it's all of the files (which are stored on the hosting account) used to create the website that people see when they come to your domain name.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, but you'll rarely heard it referred to as that. Your FTP server is basically like the security system on your web home – people have to know the correct code in order to get inside, and have access to all the stuff in the house. When they go to your domain name, they can look at your house and the stuff in it, but without FTP access they can't change anything around or remove anything. This is what you or your website manager uses to upload or download things from your site, add new content, remove old content, move things to a new page, etc.
The mail server is, funny enough, how your home on the web receives mail – in this case, email. The server usually is something like mail.yourwebsite.com, and works like a post office. Each person in your house can set up an email address (email@example.com, email@example.com) and that is how the mail server distinguishes where to deliver the mail. It's kind of like each person installing their own mailbox in front of the house – their address is still that house, but what comes before the @ symbol in the email address determines which mailbox the mail goes into. When setting up Outlook or another email client to retrieve the mail at your new web address, you will need to know both the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. Again, this is usually mail.yourwebsite.com, but your website manager can tell you for sure.
Does that help clear things up? Any other web terms that are fuzzy?
If you've ever had an in-depth conversation with a designer, you've probably been bombarded by letter combinations like CMYK, RGB, DPI, and odd terms like bleeds and spot colors. We designers throw these terms around all the time, maybe without realizing that not everyone lives and breathes these things like we do. This is the first post in a new series aimed at de-mystifying design lingo.
I'm going to start with decoding just a few basics in this article, namely the acronyms pertaining to color profiles. They are: CMYK, RGB, and PMS.
Cyan Magenta Yellow Key (black): also called process color or 4-color – CMYK is a subtractive color model, meaning that white (the paper color) is achieved by subtracting amounts of color, and black is a combination of all of the colors. This is the color setup used by all professional printers and your home printer, too. I like to call this the ink-based color setup, as that is the medium CMYK is generally in reference to. While certain computer programs (mainly in the design field) can handle the display of CMYK images, it is meant for printed pieces rather than digital formats. There are certain colors that CMYK inks can produce which are impossible to represent on a computer screen (see gamut image below).
Red Green Blue: in contrast to CMYK, RGB is an additive color model, meaning that white is produced by combining all colors and black is the lack of all color. This is the color setup that your computer monitor and TV use, as well as all web graphics and online images. I refer to this as the light-based color setup, as it is the setup used by all electronic devices that display color based on pixels made up of light. While home printers and digital presses can print pieces submitted in RGB, the color conversion will not be completely accurate. RGB is meant more for digital/electronic mediums than printed materials. There are certain colors that a computer monitor can display using RGB/light that are impossible to print using CMYK inks (see gamut image below).
Pantone Matching System: contrary to what popular usage of this acronym may imply, in the design world PMS has nothing to do with mood swings. The Pantone Matching System is a series of special, pre-mixed inks that can be used in place of or in addition to CMYK inks. Essentially, a PMS color (often called a spot color) is an ink mixed to a very specific formula based off of 13 base pigments – for this reason, many of the Pantone system's colors cannot be reproduced exactly by CMYK. It's like ordering a can of paint and using that to paint your wall, rather than buying 4 different colors of paint (CMYK) and mixing on the wall itself. It's a much more precise color system, but also generally more expensive to run if you're using more than one or two spot colors as each ink requires its own plate on the printing press. Pantones are great to use if you need a specialty ink, such as metallic or flourescent, or if the identity standard requires an exact color match every time even if different designers or different printers are handling the work. Pantone makes color swatch books that display how each ink prints on coated or uncoated paper. See the Pantone website.
Starting this month, I'm going to be doing a series of articles here on the AC Vent that aims to help clients and prospective clients understand a little more about the world of design. Design is a skilled trade, so there is a lot of technical know-how and industry-specific lingo that we designers use without a second thought, but which people outside of the design industry may be confused about. This series will hopefully help to bridge that gap and help make sure everyone is on the same page.
It's going to be called Decoding Design, so whenever you see a blog post with that in the title, that's what's going on! The first article in the series will be coming up this week, so check back in a few days.
Here are the parts of the series so far:

You see, as much as I'd like to deny it, I snore. I've snored since I was a little girl and my snoring has only gotten worse over the years. My snoring has been described as sounding like a "saw mill." Aren't you feeling sorry for my partner yet? Sometimes I just sleep on the couch so he doesn't have to be bothered with it. Of course, as you could imagine, this isn't the best solution. I started taking Snoring (shush) on January 13, 2014, two pills each night about 30 minutes before bedtime. The pills were easy to take, did not leave an aftertaste, and did not cause any adverse side effects. I knew from the get go that it could take up to 2 weeks for Shoring (shush) to start working it's magic but unfortunately the magic never quite happened for me. I'm at the end of the bottle and I'm still snoring throughout the night. It happens...trying something that doesn't quite work for you, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work for you. We are all wired differently. I'm almost certain there is a bigger reason why I snore such as undiagnosed sleep apnea. It was worth a try though. Even though the Snoring (shush) didn't quite work for me, I definitely would not rule out trying other BioTerra Herbs herbal supplements.

Panettiere reunites with boxerComment on this story
London - Hayden Panettiere has reunited with her ex-boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko.
The 23-year-old Nashville star - who split from her NFL star boyfriend of six months Scotty McKnight in December - was spotted holding hands and snuggling with the 36-year-old heavyweight boxing champion at Taco Beach Shack in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday. They split in May 2011 after two years together because they could no longer cope with having a long-distance relationship.
A source told USMagazine.com: "They never fell completely out of touch," explaining that the pair began spending time together shortly after the actress amicably split from Scotty.
The couple was first spotted together on January 8 partying at Zuma nightclub in Miami, Florida and the Ukrainian boxer was seen dropping her off at the airport three days later.
Hayden insisted at the time: "We've been friends for five years now. We're just good buddies. We're just friends."
Hayden was previously devastated after splitting from Wladimir because he was based in Hamburg, Germany, while she lived in the US.
She said at the time: "While we decided to split, we feel great sympathy and respect for each other and will surely stay close friends."
Wladimir added: "We had a great time together. But more and more we saw how difficult it is to maintain a relationship when living on two continents. I cherish Hayden as a person and woman." - Bang Showbiz

Movie Bites:
I've owned the DVD since it came out and I have to say it, The Dark Knight is my favorite movie all time. I know the movie gets a lot of press and a lot of hype/hate because of the dead star effect, (A subject I will be getting into later this week) but I do want to talk about it a little bit. The performances were spectacular and the Heath Ledger performance is Oscar worthy, though I don't think it's an unquestionable win like some fans do. The plot was well done, it took the elements of the source material (The Long Halloween and The Killing Joke) and adapted them into a dark brooding story that I loved. Christopher Nolan is turning into a great director and I can't wait to see what he does next. All in all it's the perfect movie for someone like me. (No I'm not saying it's a perfect movie.)
I'll say it now. I believe J.J. Abrahms' Star Trek movie will be good. It won't be great, but it will be good, far better than any ventures Berman produced after first Contact. The reasons for this are two fold. Firstly, good actors, the actors in this mover are talented, they will bring energy to the performances rather than going through the motions like the actors in the last Trek movie did. Secondly the writers of this movie have respect for the source, something that was sorely lacking, in any movie not written by Nicholas Meyer. Now I don't think this will be better than any Meyer penned films, but it will be a good movie. At least that's my prediction. Plus Rick Berman is no where near it.
Sports Bites:
Is it just me or are the lesser bowls this year looking a lot better than the BCS bowl match ups. The Sun Bowl, Gator Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Holiday Bowl all look like more competitive match ups than the Rose, Sugar, and Fiesta Bowls. The BCS Championship Game could be competitive, and the Orange Bowl certainly will be, but other than that the games are really terrible on paper.
One of these years the polls have to stop overrating Duke in basketball don't they? Just saying is all.
Print Bites:
In anticipation of the film I read Watchmen for the first time. All I have to say is wow. There is a reason this is considered one of the top English novels of all time. Not graphic novels, but novels. It really is as amazing as they say and now I can't wait for the movie.
Anyone who is at all interested in the economy and the general well being of people needs to read The Progress Paradox by Gregg Easterbrook. It really is an interesting look into the though process of everyday life and it makes a lot of sense on why people tend to think the way they do about the state of affairs in the world.
Politics Bites
It's good to know that the federal government hasn't run out of bad ideas. I thought they couldn't top the bank bail out. I was wrong, the auto bail out is far worse. It just gives these companies the incentive to continue to run their business the wrong way and wonder why they can't compete. It's enough to make you laugh if it didn't make you want to cry.
George Bush still has a month to screw something else up. I'm pulling for you W, don't let me down. We need one more really good "What the Hell" moment from this administration.
Music Bites
If it wasn't for Last.fm I don't think I would even listen to music anymore. It's my life line into music you won't hear on the radio. Modern pop music just eats at my sanity anymore. I'm not one of those people who hates anything just because it's popular. In fact I despise that mentality (Another future subject I'm sure) but I will call it like I see it and most cookie cutter modern pop music is just terrible swill created to bilk teenagers out of their disposable income.

It's week 41 and it finally feels like autumn here in southern Virginia. Hopefully soon it will LOOK like autumn.
In the September issue of Woman's Day, I saw an easy DIY pillow project to make it look like autumn indoors. Katherine also featured it on her blog, Pillows A-La-Mode. ( Be sure to check it out. Her blog is bright, beautiful, and inspirational. One day I hope to take beautiful photos like her.)
I started with three matching pillows that I found at the Williamsburg Goodwill store when I visited over the Labor Day weekend. $2.25 each.
Felt pieces from Michael's, 4 for $1.00.
I cut out a pumpkin, an acorn and various leaf shapes and attached them to the pillows with embroidery floss. Cost per pillow, less than $2.65.
Now I want to make some Christmas ones!

Democrats Run on Opposition to Obamacare
But do they favor repeal?
12:51 PM, Sep 16, 2010 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
It's becoming increasingly hard to find anyone who's willing to express support for Obamacare publicly. Politico now reports that three times more money is being spent on anti-Obamacare ads as on pro-Obamacare ads – among Democrats. Overall, the tally is seven to one. Moreover, the movement is strongly in that direction: In May, the overall tally was two-to-one against Obamacare.
Politico reports:
The Democrats have subsequently passed a health care overhaul that the pharmaceutical industry supports but which the vast majority of Americans oppose.
Now it's time to make the Democrats who are running anti-Obamacare ads publicly express their support for repeal.

Solid Waste and Recycling
In 1992, Beltrami County enacted a Solid Waste Service Fee charge on all residential structures. This includes residential, single-family homes, duplexes, apartments and mobile homes. Beltrami County also enacted a service fee on all seasonal structures by charging one-half of the adopted Solid Waste Service Fee.
Beltrami County Solid Waste Management Program's budget is approaching 2.6 million dollars per year. Beltrami County is generating approximately 30,000 tons of solid waste. A major component is recycling. The County is required to recycle at least 35% of its total waste stream. Therefore, it's very important for County residents to recycle. Residents are provided means to recycle through the Solid Waste Management Program provided by Waste Management of Bemidji. They provide recycling areas at both Bemidji and Blackduck Solid Waste Transfer Stations. There are rural sites located at strategic points throughout the County.

Yes, everyone is going bonkers about a sketchy report Microsoft will buy Nokia's phone business for $19 billion. But the boys in Redmond shouldn't bother. They already effectively own Nokia's phone business, for a grand total of nada.*
If you're a Microsoft shareholder, you shouldn't be wondering whether CEO Steve Ballmer overpaid for Skype. That's a waste of time. Of course, he overpaid.
Here's a much better question: why is this man still CEO? That's just how bad this deal is.
It's one thing for a CEO to convince himself that a deal is "strategic" – even if he's buying a money-loser with no proprietary technology and no viable business model.
But it's another for him to bid against himself and end up forking over $8.5 billion in cold cash to buy said money-loser – three times what it fetched a year and a half ago.
That's unforgivable.

A well production line
As energy demand continues to rise, energy companies are finding new ways to help meet it. One way is to open up new resources of gas trapped tightly in dense rock. The gas flows less easily and is harder to extract, which can drive up costs. A new drilling approach being developed for reservoirs that require many wells could make the process quicker, cheaper – and with less environmental impact.
Video: Well manufacturing - innovative technology to deliver safer, smarter and simpler wells
Production facilities would be centralised and contain drilling fluids, tubes and pipes for several well sites at the same time.
Conventionally, engineers drill a well from start to finish using a huge multi-purpose rig. But applying this approach to produce tight gas – where many wells are needed – is slow and costly. Shell has formed a joint venture with China National Petroleum Corporation to develop a more effective way: using a series of smaller, mobile rigs for each stage of the drilling process and automating many tasks.
In this approach the first rig, for example, would drill the top part of the hole, a second would drill down further, and the third complete the well. Each rig will be designed for a specific task and its compact size will reduce environmental impact.
The rigs and other equipment will be tailored to the conditions in a particular field and then mass produced. They will also include the latest drilling technology, such as a software programme to drill more smoothly.
The rigs can be mounted on trucks to move to the next well. At any one time a number of wells will be in different stages of completion. Drilling in parallel in a more automated way speeds up the process and brings down costs.
Automatic control
Shell and CNPC are automating other aspects of the process, such as moving drill pipes. (picture courtesy of Drillmec)
An electronic information system will be connected to the rigs and record details of well conditions and how the rigs are performing. The system will use this information to make automatic adjustments, for example to the speed and direction of the drill.
Trained rig crew are in short supply. The automated control system will reduce the need for rig workers, lowering safety risks and human errors.
Shell and CNPC are automating other aspects of the process, such as moving drill pipes.
The equipment for this approach – called a well manufacturing system – is currently being constructed. Arrow Energy will use the approach for the first timein Queensland, Australia in 2013, improving efficiency and limiting environmental impact.

BRITTON, FORBES (1812–1861). Forbes Britton, soldier, businessman, and legislator, was born in 1812 in Clarksburg, Virginia, and is thought to have attended Kenyon College in Ohio. He was appointed from Virginia to the United States Military Academy at West Point and graduated thirty-third in his class on July 1, 1834. He was brevetted a second lieutenant, Seventh Infantry, on July 1, 1834. He was appointed a second lieutenant on November 18, 1835, promoted to first lieutenant on July 7, 1838, and made a captain on February 16, 1847, after serving in the Mexican War. For most of his army career he moved Indians from the southeastern United States to sites in Indian Territory.
He resigned his commission on July 16, 1850, and moved to Corpus Christi to practice law and speculate in real estate. With Cornelius Cahill, Britton began a profitable commission business in 1850. In 1852 he was one of the incorporators of the Corpus Christi Navigation Company, formed for the purpose of dredging a ship channel into Corpus Christi Bay. He lobbied for construction of a road between Corpus Christi and El Paso and joined with William L. Cazneau, James Power, Henry L. Kinney,qqv and others in forming the Texas Western Railroad Company on February 16, 1852; the company laid no track. Britton incorporated the Western Artesian Well Company with Charles Stillman, Henry Redmond, Frederick Belden,qqv D. S. Howard, and H. Clay Davis on November 14, 1857. He was elected senator from the Nueces district in the Seventh (1857–58) and Eighth (1859–60) Texas legislatures, where as a moderate and a Unionist he supported Gov. Sam Houston. While serving in the legislature he was commissioned chief of staff to General Houston, on February 25, 1860, with the rank of brigadier general.
Britton married Rebecca Millard of Washington, D.C., on March 13, 1836, and they had two sons and two daughters; their daughter Elizabeth Anne married Edmund J. Davis. Britton died in Austin on February 14, 1861, while attending a special session of the legislature, and was buried in the State Cemetery, the third person to be interred there.
