Quarterly Report
- Marketing
Marketing segment revenues, operating earnings and depreciation were as follows (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Revenues Crude oil $ 2,438,815 $ 2,133,485 $ 773,611 $ 735,514 Natural gas 4,069 4,256 1,121 1,563 Total $ 2,442,884 $ 2,137,741 $ 774,732 $ 737,077 Operating Earnings Crude oil $ 29,880 $ 26,341 $ 13,278 $ 15,401 Natural gas 1,057 1,734 174 654 Total $ 30,937 $ 28,075 $ 13,452 $ 16,055 Depreciation Crude oil $ 4,324 $ 2,565 $ 1,596 $ 1,027 Natural gas 16 3 15 1 Total $ 4,340 $ 2,568 $ 1,611 $ 1,028
Supplemental volume and price information is as follows:
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Field Level Purchase Volumes - Per day (1) Crude oil - barrels 87,022 79,057 86,301 83,002 Natural gas - mmbtu's 130,566 187,367 94,568 182,302 Average Purchase Price Crude oil - per barrel $ 100.90 $ 95.36 $ 96.44 $ 91.71 Natural Gas - per mmbtu's $ 2.40 $ 4.14 $ 2.75 $ 4.08
Crude oil revenues were greater in 2012 because of increased field level purchase volumes and generally higher average crude oil prices as shown in the table above. Volume increases resulted from new well production established by the Company's customer base in the Eagle Ford shale trend of South Texas, while prices fluctuated with general market trends.
Two significant factors affecting comparative crude oil segment operating earnings are inventory valuations and forward commodity contract (derivatives or mark-to-market) valuations. As a purchaser and shipper of crude oil, the Company holds inventory in storage tanks and third-party pipelines. Inventory sales turnover occurs approximately every three days, but the quantity held in stock at the end of a given period is reasonably consistent. As a result, during periods of increasing crude oil prices, the Company recognizes inventory liquidation gains while during periods of falling prices, the Company recognizes liquidation and valuation losses. Over time, these gains and losses tend to offset and have limited impact on cash flow. While crude oil prices are fluctuating in 2012, the net impact through September 30, 2012 has yielded inventory liquidation losses totaling $1,543,000 for the first nine months of 2012. However, during the third quarter of 2012, prices trended up from $85 per barrel in the beginning of the quarter to $98 per barrel at the end of the quarter. This produced a $3,217,000 inventory liquidation gain for the quarter. As of September 30, 2012, the Company held 266,860 barrels of crude oil inventory at an average price of $98.03 per barrel.
Crude oil marketing operating earnings are also affected by the differing report date valuations of the Company's forward month commodity contracts (derivative instruments). Such non-cash valuations are calculated and recorded at each period end based on the underlying data existing as of such date. The Company generally enters into these derivative instruments as part of a pricing strategy based on crude oil purchases at the wellhead (field-lease level). The valuation of derivative instruments at each period end requires the recognition of "mark-to-market" gains and losses. The impact on crude oil operating earnings of inventory liquidations and derivative valuations is summarized as follows (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 As reported segment operating earnings $ 29,880 $ 26,341 $ 13,278 $ 15,401 Add (less) - Inventory liquidation (gains) losses 1,543 (156 ) (3,217 ) 2,185 Derivative valuation (gains) losses 3,278 3,229 1,509 3,305 Field level segment operating earnings $ 34,701 $ 29,414 $ 11,570 $ 20,891
Comparative field level crude oil operating earnings increased in 2012 with the noted volume additions and overall improved unit margins for the comparative nine month current period. Unit margins first began to widen during the third quarter of 2011 when South Texas sourced production started selling at a discount to world crude oil prices due to its relative abundance in relation to the infrastructure available to deliver such oil to market. The initial burst in unit margins was most prevalent during the third quarter of 2011 as shown in the table above. Favorable unit margins continued into 2012, although they diminished as competition and additional industry infrastructure development progressed in the region.
Natural gas sales are reported net of underlying natural gas acquisition costs and thus reflect gross margins. Volume declines have reduced earnings during 2012 with the current low level of natural gas prices curtailing drilling activity and creating a generally stagnant period for the Company's natural gas operation.
- Transportation
Transportation segment revenues, earnings and depreciation are as follows (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, Increase September 30, Increase 2012 2011 (Decrease) 2012 2011 (Decrease) Revenues $ 50,137 $ 49,547 1.2 % $ 16,741 $ 15,398 8.7 % Operating earnings $ 7,919 $ 7,003 13.1 % $ 2,607 $ 2,078 25.5 % Depreciation $ 4,186 $ 2,915 43.6 % $ 1,574 $ 1,041 51.2 %
Customer demand and revenues for the transportation segment were consistent and strong during all periods presented. However, an industry wide shortage of qualified drivers has affected the Company by suppressing current year revenues and results of operations. For 2012, the Company recognized $2,399,000 in gains from the sale of 128 used truck-tractors with gains totaling $1,070,000 occurring during the third quarter. For the first nine months of 2011 equipment sales gains totaled $1,024,000 with $632,000 of such gains occurring during the third quarter of 2011. The transport segment currently benefits from the present low price environment for natural gas, a basic feedstock for the Company's petrochemical industry customer base. The petrochemical industry has been expanding capacity and the long-term prospect for demand for chemical hauling services remains positive. Presently, the Company has experienced a slowing of activity, but business has remained fundamentally sound.
Transportation segment depreciation increased in 2012 with higher capitalized equipment costs following the replacement of substantial portions of the fleet during 2010, 2011 and 2012.
- Oil and Gas
Oil and gas segment revenues and operating earnings are primarily a function of crude oil and natural gas prices and volumes. Comparative amounts for revenues, operating earnings and depreciation and depletion are as follows (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, Increase September 30, Increase 2012 2011 (Decrease) 2012 2011 (Decrease) Revenues $ 11,467 $ 10,091 13.6 % $ 4,052 $ 3,520 15.1 % Operating earnings (loss), excluding gains from property sale $ (316 ) $ (2,420 ) (86.9 )% $ (161 ) $ (1,462 ) (88.9 )% Gains from property sales $ 475 $ 2,833 (83.2 )% $ 475 $ - N/C Depreciation and depletion $ 6,113 $ 5,578 9.6 % $ 2,265 $ 1,884 20.2 %
Oil and gas segment revenues improved during 2012 with increased production volumes despite reduced natural gas prices as shown below. Volume increases were the direct result of drilling efforts during 2012 and 2011. Depreciation and depletion expense increased in 2012 consistent with increased production volumes, but such increase was partially offset by the effect from reduced capitalized costs following the recording of a year-end 2011 impairment of oil and gas property. Oil and gas operating earnings excluding gains from property sales improved for 2012 with increased revenues and reduced dry hole and impairment expense (see table below) partially offset by the increased provision for depreciation and depletion.
Production volumes and price information is as follows (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Crude Oil Volume - barrels 69,012 38,801 27,545 15,309 Average price per barrel $ 87.59 $ 96.38 $ 79.76 $ 88.20 Natural gas Volume - mcf 1,939,167 1,344,271 642,661 487,601 Average price per mcf $ 2.80 $ 4.72 $ 2.89 $ 4.45
Comparative exploration costs are summarized in the table below. Exploration cost components were as follows (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Dry hole expense $ 43 $ 1,165 $ 2 $ 654 Prospect and property impairments 878 1,208 249 646 Seismic and geological 83 303 1 110 Total $ 1,004 $ 2,676 $ 252 $ 1,410
During the first nine months of 2012, the Company participated in the drilling of 86 successful wells with no dry holes. Additionally, the Company has an interest in 38 wells that were in process on September 30, 2012. Evaluation on the in-process wells is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2012. Participation in the drilling of approximately 34 wells is planned for the remainder of 2012 on the Company's prospect acreage in Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Louisiana.
- Oil and Gas Property Sales
In August 2012, the Company sold fifty percent of its interest in certain Kansas oil and gas properties. The properties contained one producing oil and gas well with insignificant production history. The sale was consummated to spur outside interests to further development on the properties. Total proceeds from the sale were $578,000 and the Company recorded a $475,000 gain on sale. The Company will continue to participate in the development of these Kansas properties.
In January 2011, the Company completed the sale of its interest in certain producing oil and gas properties located in the on-shore Gulf Coast region of Texas. Proceeds from the sale totaled $6.2 million and the pre-tax gain from this transaction totaled $2,708,000. Total proved reserves sold were approximately 26,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,148,000 mcf of natural gas. Sales negotiations were conducted by the third party operator of the properties on behalf of all working interest owners and the transaction was completed with a separate third party investment entity. The Company's proportionate interest in the transaction was approximately 5 percent and the Company elected to participate in the sale due to attractive pricing. Also during the first quarter 2011, the Company sold a portion of its interest in certain non-producing oil and gas properties located in West Texas. Total proceeds from the sale were $329,000 and the Company recorded a $125,000 gain from this transaction. Proceeds from the sales were used for general working capital purposes and the Company is continuing with oil and gas exploration operations in the vicinity of the properties sold.
- Discontinued Operation
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company sold contracts, inventory and certain equipment associated with its refined products market segment and discontinued that operation. The pre-tax gain from this sale, net of operating expenses and wind-down cost totaled $523,000. See also Note 6 - Discontinued Operation to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Outlook
The marketing and transportation segments are performing at expected levels, but narrowing unit margins are anticipated for the South Texas marketing region due to third party pipeline infrastructure projects being completed which increases competition in the area. Oil and gas segment operating earnings are beginning to show positive results as new crude oil production is brought on line. Absent price declines, this trend for the oil and gas segment should continue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity primarily derives from net cash provided by operating activities and such amount was $51,242,000 and $57,442,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no bank debt or other forms of debenture obligations. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $52,054,000 as of September 30, 2012, and such balances are maintained in order to meet the timing of day-to-day cash needs. Working capital, the excess of current assets over current liabilities, totaled $47,691,000 as of September 30, 2012.
Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2012 included $24,563,000 for marketing and transportation equipment additions and $18,566,000 in property additions associated with oil and gas exploration and production activities. Over the remainder of 2012, the Company anticipates expending approximately $5 million on oil and gas exploration projects while truck and trailer replacements and additions within the transportation and marketing fleets are substantially completed for the year.
From time to time, the Company may make cash prepayments to certain suppliers of crude oil and natural gas for the Company's marketing operations. Such prepayments totaled $5,000,000 as of September 30, 2012 and such amounts will be recouped and advanced from month to month as the suppliers deliver product to the Company. The Company also requires certain counterparties to post cash collateral with the Company in order to support their purchases from the Company. Such cash collateral held by the Company totaled $2,156,000 as of September 30, 2012. Management believes current cash balances, together with expected cash generated from future operations and the ease of financing truck and trailer additions through leasing arrangements (should the need arise) will be sufficient to meet short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
The Company utilizes cash from operations to make discretionary investments in its oil and natural gas exploration, marketing and transportation businesses, which comprise substantially all of the Company's investing cash outflows for each of the periods in this filing. The Company does not look to proceeds from property sales to fund its cash flow needs. Except for an approximate $10 million commitment for transportation equipment operating leases and storage tank terminal arrangements and office lease space, the Company's future commitments and planned investments can be readily curtailed if operating cash flows contract.
Historically, the Company pays an annual dividend in the fourth quarter of each year. In December 2011, the Company paid a $.57 per common share or $2,404,000 dividend to its shareholders. The most significant item affecting future increases or decreases in liquidity is earnings from operations and such earnings are dependent on the success of future operations (see Item 1A Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011).
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company's "Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates" disclosures that have occurred since the disclosures provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

A seat of learning and a thriving fishing port for centuries, Aberdeen is one of Scotland's great cities. Nowadays it services the oil & gas industry around the world as well as acting as the centre of a thriving domestic oil industry. With a lively atmosphere, plenty of things to do and the Cairngorms National Park on the doorstep, Aberdeen is the perfect location to experience Scotland at its best.
Known universally as the 'Granite City' Aberdeen has a unique architectural heritage. The city's abundance of parks and gardens is perhaps less well known - although as a record breaking eleven time winner of the "Britain in Bloom" gardening competition the city is obviously doing something right.
Picturesque Parks
Aberdeen has some incredible public parks, in fact over a quarter of the city is devoted to all things lush and green. The beautiful Duthie Park, opened in 1883 is a fine example of a Victorian park. With exotic plants (including the UK's largest collection of cacti!), pretty waterways and a family friendly atmosphere Duthie is a rewarding day out
Other Attractions
At over 440 acres, Hazlehead Park is over ten times the size of Duthie Park but no less distinctive. It is heavily wooded making it a popular location for walkers, picnickers and cyclists. Seaton Park, beside the historic St Machar's Cathedral, is very popular with travellers and particularly beautiful when the sun shines.

Detached Eddy Simulation for Industrial Aerodynamics
The DESider project is motivated by the increasing demand of the European aerospace industries to improve analysis on turbulent, unsteady aerodynamic flows exhibiting massive separation. However, for complex, turbulent separated flows, RANS modelling has proved to be a poorly adapted approach. While LES has shown viable capabilities of resolving the flow structures, it is too costly to be used at present in aeronautical applications. To close the gap between RANS and LES, hybrid RANS-LES methods will be investigated, among which the so-called detached eddy simulation (DES) serves as a basis.
Project objectives
Based on the previously developed DES approach, the objectives are:
- To investigate and develop advanced modelling approaches for unsteady flow simulations as a compromise between URANS and LES, which are able to produce LES-comparable results for real aeronautical applications, yet with less costly computational resources compared to LES for an employment in industrial design environments.
- To demonstrate capabilities of hybrid RANS-LES approaches in solving industrially relevant applications with a focus on aerodynamic flows characterised by separation, wakes, vortex interaction and buffeting, i.e. all flows which are inherently unsteady.
- To investigate further that RANS-LES methods can be well applied to multidisciplinary topics as there are aero-acoustics (noise reduction) and aero-elastics (reduced A/C weight, unsteady loads, fatigue issues, improved A/C safety), improving this as a cost-effective design.
- To facilitate co-operation between the European industries, research establishments and universities and to foster co-operation between the different industries (as there are airframe, turbo-machinery, helicopters and power generation, as well as turbo-engines and ground transportation) with the help of an 'observer group'.
Description of the work
Work in the DESider project has been split into four Work Packages:
Work package 1: 'General management' is dedicated to the overall management of the project. Coordination work includes the set-up of a project website and web-server, http://cfd.me.umist.ac.uk/desider/ with a public part that is not password protected and which provides a more elaborate overview about the DESider project.
Work package 2: 'Experiments' is assembled around available experimental results and will be finished around the end of the second year of the project. Although test cases have been defined at the start they are going to be adjusted during the course of the project. Moreover, a new experiment will be carried out – a channel bump – that can be used for validating the hybrid RANS-LES methods that will be investigated. The set-up of these measurements was conducted by CFD computations in order to ensure that the experimental results will exhibit all flow-specific data needed for a proper validation of the highly sophisticated CFD methods. A specific post-processing will be carried out to extract typical structures from the measurement data.
Work package 3: 'Modelling' is a major task as it is needed to overcome current weaknesses in the different approaches, i.e. to improve both the predictive accuracy and code robustness to make sure that industrially relevant tools are available at the end of the project.
Work package 4: 'Applications' is split into two main tasks dealing with 'pure' aerodynamics and with multidisciplinary topics. In the aerodynamics task, work started with investigations on so-called 'underlying flow regime' cases, and is followed by 'real-world' application challenges. It will be finished with an assessment of URANS, LES and hybrid RANS-LES methods to demonstrate the successful outcome, as well as to show ways for both improvements and exploitation of the approaches used. Work on the aero-elasticity as well as the aero-acoustic tasks have been started at the beginning of the second year. Both applications are of much interest in order to demonstrate how methods and approaches can offer improved prediction capabilities for the structural behaviour (safety aspect) and noise propagation (environmental aspect).
Expected results
Advanced URANS and hybrid RANS-LES methodologies will be improved and their implementation in industrial approaches facilitated. Based on modification of turbulence scales in respect of flow unsteadiness, the theoretical approaches are going to be validated by detailed physical experiments. Moreover, as improved aerodynamics results will directly influence the accuracy of multi-disciplinary industrial challenges, non-linear aero-elasticity and aero-acoustics problems will be treated, fostering the predictive capabilities in CFD and improving industrial design processes.

BUY YOUR CAR WITH CONFIDENCE WHEN YOU BUY FROM RC AUTOMOTIVE!!! If, you were ever under the impression you can't get five star service with a used car dealership, then RC Automotive will give you reason to pause. Every dealerships goal is to provide you with a positive buying experience and in my book, that begins with your sales agent. I, had been shopping high and low for a vehicle, done some serious research and created a list of different vehicles with specific criteria that would work for me. I, visited most every large and small dealership in SLC, Bountiful and Layton. My find, for the most part was, I knew more about the cars than the agents I was working with, until I met Chris "CJ" Sauric. He was one of the most honest, considerate, knowledgeable, experienced and motivated individuals I had dealt with. He knows cars! RC Automotive didn't have the type of car with the options I wanted so, "CJ", stayed on task night and day to find the right car for me. This was a long and grueling task for him, but he never once complained. I'm now the proud owner of a fabulous Hyundai Santa Fe, that more than meets my expectations in options and in price. Thank you "CJ"! His no pressure approach was refreshing, and his willingness to go the distance to take care of me, put RC Automotive right up there with Salt Lake City's best. I, was so pleased with the customer service received from "CJ", that I put him in charge of finding my mother a car. Once again, he proved himself to be at the top of his game. She, is now the proud owner of a new Subaru Forester. As for RC Automotive's service department, I can say their quality reputation doesn't stop at the sale of a vehicle. My mother had a light come on in her brand new car and she panicked, rightfully so. RC Automotive, without question or hesitation sent an employee to pick up my mother's car (30 minutes each away) leaving her with another car for transportation. They took care of the problem immediately, returned the car to my mother and assured her they were only a phone call away if, she were to need any further service. My mother and I, feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with some like "CJ"/RC Autmotive in what can be a very intimidating purchase for a woman in what some consider a man's world. They never made us feel like our questions weren't valid, no matter how small. "CJ", Tony, RC Automotive in general, treated us like family. RC Automotive's customer service is stellar!!! I highly recommend RC Automotive to anyone who is in the market for a vehicle and a truly positive buying experience.

A Sleepy Eye man has been charged with felony burglary and domestic assault by strangulation following an incident in Sleepy Eye on Sunday. Authorities were called out to the home after a report that 26-year-old Kyle Lee Pool had assaulted a person there that he had a previous relationship with. He had allegedly arrived at the home intoxicated, and later returned and committed the alleged assault, which included slapping and punching, as well as a hit on the head and putting both hands on the victim's neck. He was found to have a blood-alcohol level of .13, and was taken to the Brown County Evaluation Center. He was charged with the crimes on Tuesday, and will be transferred to the Brown County Jail upon his release from detox.

Samir Badr and Peabo Doue Added To Energy FC Roster
Oklahoma City Energy FC continued finalizing contracts of its players on Tuesday, with the signing of Samir Badr and Peabo Doue.
Energy FC began training this week for its inaugural season in the United Soccer League's Pro division. Head coach Jimmy Nielsen said their were 12 players at camp who have signed, along with six other trialists hoping to get a deal.
Badr, 21, comes to Oklahoma City in an interesting situation as a goalkeeper. What makes his position on the pitch a predicament is that Nielsen retired in December from Major League Soccer after leading Sporting Kansas City to the MLS Cup, as a keeper himself.
Badr might not be too worried however. The Fairfax, Va., native has been involved with the United States' U-20 and U-17 programs as well as playing professionally in Europe with Portugal's FC Porto B in 2010-11.
Doue, 23, plays left midfield. The West Virginia alum started in 18 matches as a freshman five years ago.
Most recently, Doue played for Phoenix FC, of USL Pro, alongside current Energy FC defender Cyrpian Hedrick. Doue is originally from Takoma Park, Md.

Understanding Crisis Intervention and Trauma Response
The General Crisis Response is a concept that was developed during the writing of our previous book, Crisis Intervention and Trauma Response: Theory and Practice (Wainrib & Bloch, 1998). In it, we attempted to integrate the two concepts life crisis and trauma. We described life crisis as an experience that generally relates to more predictable experiences such as birth, illness, divorce, and so on. Trauma is generally sudden, drastic, and often life threatening. Examples of trauma are the London bombings, September 11, 2001 (9–11), rape; war; natural disasters; and others.
In our earlier book, we said that "As the world becomes more and more complex and varieties of both crisis and trauma seem to be taking on greater visibility on a regular basis, this concept itself takes on larger significance."
For the sake of simplicity, throughout the present book, the author will integrate the general crisis response and use the term trauma as all inclusive.
The material that you are about to read is an enlargement and update of the vast new knowledge that has been created in this field in the relatively short time since the 1998 book.
Most human beings who live in a relatively peaceful environment such as North America assume that they can face each day in a fairly predictable manner. We see outbreaks of wars and uprisings on our television news and

What should I be doing instead of this?

I Just Can't Get Enough
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Miley Cyrus hosted and performed on Saturday Night Live this weekend and I have to admit — she rocked it. You have to give it to the writers for coming up with some original ways to incorporate her recent now-ubiquitous scandals (VMAs, buzzworthy music videos, ever-exposed tongue), but MiCy deserves some credit, too. Bitch may be feuding with Sinead O'Connor and giving twerking a bad name, but she is definitely a solid performer. The weak skits of the night (How dare SNL make a failed attempt at a cheerleader sketch when we all know the Spartans can never be topped? Too soon!) flopped because of poor ideas or shoddy writing, not due to Miley's lack of acting skills. The trend so far this year is the best skits being prerecorded ones (the Girls spoof with Tina Fey, this week's Fifty Shades of Grey auditions), which kind of defeats the purpose of it being a live show. Nonetheless, the No. 1 sketch of the night perfectly blended a Miley earbug with the government shutdown: "We Did Stop." Meanwhile, Nori West is racking up finer garments before her fourth month on Earth (FOR FREE) than the rest of us can probably ever imagine owning. In our adult lives. In Case You Missed It: Dumb and Dumber To is actually happening. Not to be confused with the cringe-worthy 2003 prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (which I totally saw in theaters the day it opened), this Farrelly Brothers sequel will feature OG stars Jim Carrey (Lloyd Christmas) and Jeff Daniels (Harry Dunne) picking up 20 years after the duo's last adventure. In D&D2, which currently has an unspecified 2014 release date, one of the guys has a long-lost offspring, and they both embark on a journey to find the child in hopes of attaining a new kidney. Kathleen Turner will play Fraida Felcher, a character mentioned but never seen in two scenes of the original (Below). Sounds like she's the baby mama. And SPOILER ALERT: Jennifer Lawrence will make a surprise cameo as a young Fraida. Hopefully we'll get to see the French Tickler in action. Billy the blind kid and Sea Bass will also return, played by their respective original actors. And because behind-the-scenes movie peeks are so fun, here's Quvenzhane Wallis on the set of Annie with her near-identical stunt double who is at least three times Q's age. The Jay Z and Will Smith-produced remake, due in theaters during Christmastime next year, will also star Jamie Foxx in the Daddy Warbucks role, appropriately renamed "Benjamin Stacks." Although it's been 13 years since Freaks and Geeks originally graced our television screens, longtime fans and newcomers discovering the fantastic series on Netflix or IFC can now experience McKinley High in a whole new way. The Fine Brothers, Internet creatives behind the popular React series, developed a Freak and Geeks choose-your-own-adventure game that combines great television, old-school video games and your inner 10-year-old's favorite genre of books. Players can actually click on different choices in the YouTube video, leading them to new videos based on their selections. Play now! (Thanks, Hannah!) Watch what you say to Siri: That robot voice on your phone is actually a real lady! Recently, we learned Lisa Frank is an actual, live human. Next up: Siri. Voice actress Susan Bennett has come forward as the woman behind the mysterious personal assistant living inside newer Apple mobile devices. The recent Apple software update iOS 7 gives users the option of a new "male" Siri voice, prompting Bennett to reveal Siri's original real-life counterpart. Meet her here.

LONDON (AP) — Brazil hasn't been this close to the gold medal in men's soccer since Romario was a promising young star in the late 1980s.
Many great players have tried and failed after him, including Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
Now it will be up to Neymar, the future of Brazilian soccer, to end decades of frustration and give the nation its first Olympic gold, the only trophy missing for the five-time World Cup champions.
Brazil is the favorite in Saturday's final at Wembley Stadium against Mexico, a team which will also be looking for its first Olympic gold.

Chelsea deny reports of new Lampard contract talks
14:24 05 March 2013
EMPICS Sport
Chelsea have denied reports that they are in discussions with Frank Lampard over a new contract.
Lampard is currently set to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer when his current deal expires.
Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay was, however, today quoted as saying that talks had begun with the 34-year-old midfielder.
Chelsea quickly refuted the reports, adding that any talks with their players "remain confidential".
Chelsea moved to clarify comments made by Gourlay - who did speak to the media in Bangkok as part of an ongoing trip to promote the club's pre-season trip to Asia - on their website this afternoon.
"I am not prepared to discuss this [Lampard's future] at this time," Gourlay said.
"Obviously conversations must remain confidential between the club and the players at all times so that is as much as I can say."
Lampard's exit from Chelsea, after 12 years of service, continues to draw nearer despite calls from the club's fans for him to stay.
The England international's agent Steve Kutner claimed in January that the club had told him, and Lampard, that he would "not be offered a contract under any circumstances".
Despite that Lampard has remained a key part of the Blues' first team this season.
The midfielder has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season, despite playing a more withdrawn role, and is just one away from becoming only the second Chelsea player to score 200 for the club. Lampard is also three goals shy of the club record held by Bobby Tambling.
At present Lampard is free to talk with other clubs about a move, with Major League Soccer side the Los Angeles Galaxy previously linked, although no offers have been made public.

Change it up: How 7 new coaches are shaping tone
From the smooth, almost laid-back approaches of Lovie Smith and Jim Caldwell to the fiery passion of Mike Zimmer, new NFL coaches are reshaping the environments of their teams.
Some have much bigger chores than others.
Bringing in a new coaching staff usually means the previous one did too much losing. That's true times seven this year as Smith takes over at Tampa Bay, Caldwell in Detroit, Zimmer in Minnesota, Ken Whisenhunt in Tennessee, Bill O'Brien in Houston, Jay Gruden in Washington and Mike Pettine in Cleveland.
Pettine might have the biggest challenge because he takes over a perennial loser: Cleveland last made the playoffs in 2002. There's been discord surrounding the franchise ever since Jimmy Haslam bought it in 2012, and he's already on his third head coach.
The son of a highly successful high school coach, Pettine is bright, self-confident and media savvy, seemingly lacking the suspicious nature of so many NFL head coaches.
He doesn't pull punches, which is critical in engineering a cultural change.
"I would say no nonsense," Pettine says. "I have been nicknamed BFT: Blunt Force Trauma. The days are too short to dance around subjects and I think guys appreciate that."
Another necessary skill is communication. Smith, who was 84-66 in nine seasons in Chicago, yet was canned after 2012, is a master at that. After the roughness of Greg Schiano's reign in Tampa, Smith's low-key style easily won over the players.
Not that Smith doesn't know how and when to be stern; he learned under Tony Dungy, a master communicator.
"It's been a while, I can honestly say, since you've seen guys smile this much and have this much fun," says DT Gerald McCoy, among the Bucs' best players. "It's just a completely different feel around the building."
Caldwell also comes from the Dungy coaching tree, and he might still be the man in Indianapolis had Peyton Manning not missed 2011 after neck surgery. The Lions needed a steadying influence as head coach after the often unpredictable Jim Schwartz regime.
To some, Caldwell was a surprise choice. To others, he is the anti-Schwartz and will bring a calm steadiness to Detroit — along with more discipline for a team that sometimes stepped beyond the bounds of NFL protocol in its on-field behavior.
Caldwell has joked about his reputation for remaining even-keeled.
"There's no need for a whole lot of cussing, screaming, yelling and all that kind of stuff," Caldwell says. "It's a mini-quiz out here. I never had any of my professors yelling in my ear when I was sitting at the desk filling out those multiple-choice questions."
Zimmer might be doing some yelling in Minnesota, but it will be in a constructive way. An outstanding defensive coach in Cincinnati since 2008, he was in the running for several jobs before landing the Vikings gig.
His forthright manner, confidence in his defensive schemes and tough love approach make him stand out from predecessor Leslie Frazier.
Most of all, Zimmer sees himself as an educator.
"I think one of the things of being a coach, you're a teacher," he says. "You're trying to teach them about techniques, you're trying to teach them about all the different aspects of the game of football, not just offense or defense, but what the other side of the ball is thinking."
Gruden, the younger brother of ESPN analyst and 2003 Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden, was Zimmer's alter ego in Cincinnati. Gruden ran the Bengals' offense, and when Washington decided to replace Mike Shanahan, it sought someone who could design an attack around Robert Griffin III, while also protecting the 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Witness says Terrill put state job into legislation in Oklahoma political bribery trial
A former state Senate bill writer on Thursday identified former state Rep. Randy Terrill as the legislator who had a new state job put into a 2010 reform bill.
"He gave me very specific information on what to add about this new job at the chief medical examiner's office," Jennifer Lepard told jurors at Terrill's political bribery trial.
Terrill, a Republican, is accused of offering then-Sen. Debbe Leftwich an $80,000-a-year job at the medical examiner's office to not run for re-election in 2010. Leftwich is a Democrat. Terrill denies wrongdoing.
Lepard was the 12th prosecution witness to testify in the trial, which began Monday. Prosecutors plan to rest their case Friday.
Terrill is expected to testify Monday.
Prosecutors called Lepard in an attempt to establish that Terrill was behind the creation of the position of transition coordinator at the medical examiner's office.
In her testimony Thursday, Lepard described meeting with Terrill and state Sen. Anthony Sykes in Sykes' office. She said it was unusual for a House member to be in such a meeting over a Senate bill.
She said Terrill — reading from a list — instructed her on what to add to Senate Bill 738. She said Leftwich later came into the meeting and "we went over in general all the changes that were made." She testified Leftwich's presence at the meeting also was unusual.
She recalled Thursday that the meeting was on May 19, 2010, just nine days from the end of the legislative session. Lepard said she drafted approximately 150 bills a year before leaving the Senate last November
Senate Bill 738 had been introduced in 2009 and was intended to put a number of reforms in place at the troubled medical examiner's office. Brad Henry, then governor, vetoed it on June 6, 2010, saying it was "fatally flawed" because of the provision creating the new job.
Sykes, R-Moore, told jurors Terrill was at the meeting about the reform bill because he was an emissary of the state House speaker. Sykes said Leftwich was at the meeting because she was known for her knowledge of the agency since she once had worked there.
Prosecutors Thursday put into evidence Leftwich's campaign contribution reports in an effort to prove to jurors she really was a candidate for the Senate race in 2010. Terrill's defense attorney has tried to raise questions in the trial about whether she actually could be considered a candidate because she never filed with the state Election Board.
The reports show she began raising funds for the 2010 race in 2007. She transferred $43,711 from her 2006 campaign then raised about $100,000 more before announcing she had decided to not run after all.
At least one fundraiser was held for her in 2010, according to the testimony Thursday.
She made a public announcement she was not running for re-election on May 28, 2010, the last day of the legislative session. That announcement came one day after both the state House and Senate had passed the bill creating the new job.
Jurors learned Thursday that she informed Democratic leaders in the state Senate that she was not running for re-election the first week in May 2010.
Former Sen. Charlie Laster, D-Shawnee, said he was shocked when she informed him she was leaving the Senate. He said he had spoken on her behalf at a fundraiser in 2010.
He said she did not tell him she planned to go back to work at the medical examiner's office. If she had, he said, "I would have felt betrayed."
Jurors learned Wednesday that Leftwich did tell a Republican state senator, on April 19, 2010, that she was working on a deal with Republican legislative leaders to return to the medical examiner's office.
Terrill, 44, of Moore, is charged with a felony — offering a bribe to a candidate to withdraw. Leftwich, 62, of Oklahoma City, also is charged with a felony — soliciting and/or accepting the bribe to withdraw. Her jury trial is set to begin Dec. 9.
If convicted, each faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

I haven't played the alpha yet, but based on the screens & video, the current gui reminded me of a turn-based, 2d tactical air combat flash game I played a couple months back: "Steambirds". If I may--
1. Was this already known, and will more of it be seen?
2. I can certainly dig this gameplay if this is the case. On reflection I can see it complementing the whole xcom experience very well.

According to a new study that was debuted on Thursday, usage rates of Apple's iPhone in the U.S. are said to have a strong and positive connection to users' 'level' of education and population density. It is said that northeastern states see a relatively higher congregation of iPhone owners than other states.
In a recent report which notes that shares of Apple stock took an unexpected slide on Thursday. This 'slide' also dragged the larger market down as a whole with it, after a high-profile Japanese bank downgraded their rating on the iPhone maker to "Neutral."
Apple has plans to announce a $200 billion program to buy back shares and simply raise their dividend. This means that the company will heavily upgrade their current buyback program which was announced three years ago, analyst Kulbinder Garcha of Credit Suisse told CNBC. Read more
UBS a research firm recently indicated that Apple has raised their previous iPhone sales, with a new record high, by selling 69 million iPhones in the last quarter of 2014, which was boosted by the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus holiday sales. Other sources say that Apple sold 65.5 million, however research from the UBS Evidence Lab says that the California based company sold close to four million more. Read more
In a report which was done by half of the surveyed buyers who plan to purchase a smartphone in the next few months are eyeing an iPhone, compared to 47% following the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus announcement in September. Investment bank Piper Jaffray made a survey of 1,004 consumers in the U.S. this month, and the results were brought to us by analyst Gene Munster in a note to investors.
Recently, Gartner had published a third quarter numbers showing some specs and growth in the smartphone market, and a strong quarter for Apple. Mobile devices overall saw as many as 456 million sold with smartphones taking a 301 million portion of the matter, which comes out to be 66% (up 20% from last year).
Apple is a multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and markets mobile communication and media devices across the world, and when Apple unveiled the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, it seemed likely that the larger screens on the devices would naturally lead to them assuming some of the functions of the iPad, giving users fewer reasons to turn to their tablets. Now, data from Pocket finds that users of Apple's newest larger smartphones do spend more time using their saved content on their iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, even when they own and use an iPad.

Job fair planned to help Plywood employeesSeptember 03,2014Job fair targets
Plywood workers
A job fair organized to help some of the 170 displaced Rutland Plywood employees will be held Friday at the Holiday Inn in Rutland Town.
From noon to 3 p.m. at the conference center, roughly 20 employers from around the region will have information and applications available for about 100 full-time, part-time and temporary job positions, said Wendy Morse, regional manager of the Department of Labor.
The 70 full-time and 100 part-time and temporary employees at Rutland Plywood all lost jobs Aug. 21 when fire leveled the 84,000-square-foot plant in Rutland Town.
Rutland Plywood officials havent decided whether they will rebuild but officials have said even if the company does rebuild, it might be two years before a new plant is complete.
Normally, the Department of Labor hosts two job fairs a year in May and October, Morse said. But the fire and large-scale job loss have prompted the agency to add a third hiring session.
Morse said the companies hiring at the job fair represent a diverse cross-section of construction, manufacturing, health care and service industry businesses.MORE IN This Just InIn sifting through my ever expanding Pocket queue of things Ive been meaning to read, I found... Full Story

How to Protect Chicken Combs from Winter Cold
Chickens are, in general, very cold hardy animals. Unless it's below freezing, they will not usually need a heat lamp. However, chickens with larger combs can suffer badly from frostbite. If not protected, their combs can actually freeze off, causing pain and distress.
1Get a friend to pick up a chicken. This is best done when the animals are docile. Chickens are most docile after they have bedded down for the evening, and all but the most skittish of hens can be handled, even without a friend's assistance, during the night.
2Pick up the chicken yourself if you cannot enlist the aid of a friend. Secure your chicken in a "football hold" gently under one arm with both of its wings held snugly against it's own body and your hand under its breast bone for support. If you're working along it helps if you already have a jar of petroleum jelly open.
3Put a small amount of petroleum jelly on the comb of the chicken. The comb of a chicken is a flap of skin which is usually red and seen on top of the chickens head.
4Gently rub the jelly around the comb. Make sure the comb is completely covered with the petroleum jelly and try to be gentle. This will insulate the bird's comb and prevent it from suffering from frostbite.
5Repeat the last two steps on the wattles of the chicken. The wattles are the flaps of skin hanging below the chickens beak, they are also usually red. However, not all chickens have wattles, but if they do, they will benefit from this.
6Place the chicken back in its coop when you have finished. If the coop is quite dirty then it's a good idea to clean it as petroleum jelly is quite sticky and some dirt can get stuck to the chickens comb and wattles.

Answered QuestionsAdd New Question
Unanswered Questions
My chicken looks very forlorn and lethargic. Could it have got too cold?
Ask a Question
- Don't be afraid to bribe your chickens with tasty treats. Canned or fresh corn is a much relished treat, and can be used to great advantage to get your chickens to go where you want them to (such as into a travel kennel where they can be contained for whatever purpose, be it a move, a trip to the vet, or something as simple as reaching through the bars to put Vaseline on their combs and wattles.) They also enjoy rice, stale bread, tomatoes, grapes, and cauliflower.
- The more you handle your chickens, the easier it will get. Like any warm-blooded pet (and many cold-blooded, as well), chickens who are held, petted, talked to and generally treated like pets will come to enjoy this treatment, and even seek it. It is much easier to care for any creature that doesn't automatically run from you, or panic at your touch.
- Be very gentle. You do not want to harm or scare the chicken.
- Keep the coop well ventilated, this prevents frostbite in chickens.
Things You'll Need
- Chicken(s)
- Friend
- Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline)

Hall of Famer Alomar Lauded by the Mets
Second baseman Roberto Alomar, who was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday, spent a forgettable season-and-a-half with the Mets in 2002 and 2003, hitting .265 over 222 games. Still, the team released a statement congratulating Mr. Alomar "on baseball's most prestigious honor, his well-deserved election into the Hall of Fame."
Centerfielder Carlos Beltran, who joined the Mets in 2005, said, "He's my personal friend. No one played his position better."

Resurgent Knicks Now Must-See TV
It's a comeback season for the Knicks on the floor, and now, apparently, on television, as the team's ratings on MSG are up 39% from a year ago. The Knicks are rating a 1.50 on the season and just completed their highest-rated month since 2004-05, when Nielsen changed its methodology to people meters.
The Knicks' Dec. 15th game against the Boston Celtics was their highest-rated game on MSG since opening night in 2001, scoring a 3.61.

Woody Set to Return; Jets to Appeal Fine
After missing the last three games of the regular season with a right knee injury, Jets offensive tackle Damien Woody expects to play in Saturday's first-round playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. Mr. Woody has participated in two practices this week and assessed his knee as "great." He underwent arthroscopic surgery on Dec. 15 to repair a partially torn ligament.
In off-the-field news (because there's always off-the-field news with the Jets), a team spokesman confirmed that the Jets are appealing the $100,000 fine that the NFL levied against the franchise because of the tripping incident involving strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi.

Hydregion can't evolve cause Hydregion is the last stage.
This confirms a few things. First being that Ash beats Stephan and that Kotetsu beats Bianca(yeah sorry everyone that thought she would win). So this leaves Kotetsu and Virgil as known competitors?
As for his impending battle against Kotetsu Hydregion will indeed be a pain, but I think they will they will have it vs. Ash Krookodile which if you remember gained Dragon Claw when it fought Iris Dragonite upon evolving so I think that will be a good card to have.
Personally if Ash does lose I'd prefer it too Kotetsu instead of Virgil since I don't care for him too lose to a team of Eeveelutions...

Some detergents can leave a layer of soap scum inside your washing machine. This is a guide about cleaning soap scum out of a washing machine.
What should I do/use to remove soap film build-up in a top loading washing machine?
By David from Menomonee Falls, WI
The removal tips are great. I'd like to add as a prevention that you leave the top up/open after each load. I've been doing this for years and have never had a problem with soap scum.
What cleaner can I use to remove soap scum from around the seal and the window of my front load washer?
By Kathy
Have you tried baking soda, and/or scrubbing with a used dryer sheet? That might work.
What is the best method to remove soap/softener build up from the tub of a washing machine?
By David P.
I've always cleaned mine by running it through the cycles empty (no soap, no clothes), set on hottest water and heavy duty setting. You can also add a cup or two of vinegar the first time to break any 'suds lock'.
It's a good idea to do this as a habit at least twice a year (more if you do a lot of laundry, and especially if you tend to use too much soap) to clean the excess or build-up out of the washer and hoses.
Make sure you pull the hoses and check the wire filters at each end of the hoses for build-up, too, before running the machine through the cycles-no point cleaning the tub. Make sure you reseat the filters and hoses properly to avoid leaks.
I have a fairly new washing machine. The white plastic agitator and fabric softener dispenser are getting caked with soap scum. HELP! How can I get this goop off?
Sue A
If you don't have good luck with vinegar, ammonia or bleach (be very careful not to mix them) there is a cleaner called purewasher that is only sold at smellywasher.com / This cleaner will clean inside your washer and remove mildew or musty smell from towels and clothes. All you'll need is one tablespoon.

Polk Audio 90-rt
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I installed this speaker as my center channel. Very easy to install when using the template, just got to get thru cutting the hole in the ceiling. Speaker sounds great! Very clear sounding, loud and I have not heard any distortion when cranking it up.
Pros: Price, easy to install, sounds great and works well as a center channel.
Cons: I installed this speaker as an in ceiling speaker. If I were going to get very technical, I would have installed in the wall to have the audio coming right at me. Either way, it sounds great!

It's already against the law to not wear your seat belt in Mississippi, but it's only what's called a secondary violation, meaning you can't be cited for it unless you've already been pulled over for something else.
Some lawmakers want to change that, hoping it will increase the state's usage.
A primary seat belt law has passed through a House committee in Jackson. If it passes, you could then be pulled over and fined if you're not wearing your seat belt.
Law enforcement officials say you're much more likely to survive or escape serious injury in an accident if you are wearing a seat belt.
"I think it's a good idea because it's going to encourage a lot of people that currently won't wear a seat belt, because they know if they have no other violation, they're not going to be cited for it," said Lt. Frankie Springer of the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department. "So it'll encourage them to buckle up."
Mississippi is one of the few states without a primary seat belt law. It has the lowest seat belt compliance in the nation.
Seat Belt Usage:
Mississippi - 63.2%
Alabama - 80.0%
Arkansas - 64.2%
Louisiana - 75.0%
