Joggins is a famous fossil locality in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hewn by some of the world's highest tides on the Bay of Fundy, these crumbling cliffs shed light on the life and environments of the Carboniferous Coal Age, 315 million years ago. The site has been a magnet for geologists since the early nineteenth century. Charles Lyell described it as the world's best coal-bearing section and together with his colleague, William Dawson, reported amazing fossil forests and a rich terrestrial fauna. Since that golden age, the rate of new fossil discoveries has hardly diminished and in recognition of its importance, the Joggins Fossil Cliffs was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2008. Even after many years of study, it remains a tremendous thrill for us to explore this 'classic locality' in far-flung Nova Scotia. Each winter storm, rock fall, and tide brings with it the tantalizing possibility of new fossils and new scientific insights. In this article we share something of our excitement for Joggins and provide an up to date field guide for those wishing to unlock its secrets.

Critical strike
Redirected from Critical Strike
this wiki
A critical strike is a basic attack that deals twice its normal damage. In the real world, it's an attack striking a vulnerable area, while in other MMO and/or RPG settings, it ties into the very common "critical hit" mechanic.
It only applies to basic attacks or certain abilities like Gangplank's Parrrley and Yasuo's Steel Tempest that act like a basic attack or Garen's Judgment and Master Yi's Alpha Strike, which are specially stated. It's important to note that you cannot score a critical strike against a building such as a turret or inhibitor (Except Jhin, whose fourth shot receives minicrits against all structures).
Most champions have different attack animations for a critical strike, though some do not; this includes mages and other champions not meant to be built using basic attacks for damage. Some of these champions performing a critical strike (if built being able to perform them) may instead have a soundbite that plays in place of an animation, typically a grunt of effort.
Critical strike is valuable for all champions who primarily deal damage with automatic attacks, rather than through abilities. Some champions, such as Ashe, have an affinity for critical hits and benefit more from items that improve them. Players can increase the Chance and the Damage of critical strikes with items, abilities, and runes.
Critical strike chance, as the name states, is the chance of a champion's physical attacks dealing a critical strike. Critical strike chance stacks additively. Runes, items and all abilities can increase critical strike chance.
When averaged over a large number of autoattacks and at Base critical damage (100% bonus damage), critical strike chance is essentially a damage multiplier where each 1% of critical chance adds 1% bonus damage. Thus at 50% critical strike chance a champion will be doing (on average) 150% damage with autoattacks, not counting Bonus critical strike damage. Because of this, critical strike chance scales well with both attack damage and attack speed. The formula for this damage multiplier is given by:
Damage multiplier = 1 + (Critical chance × Bonus critical damage)
The maximum critical strike chance you can reach at level 1 through masteries is 20.25%, excluding abilities and items, and is hard capped at 100%.
Critical strike chance has a theoretical gold value of 40 gold per 1% critical strike chance. This makes the most efficient core item for critical strike chance, as it grants +10% critical chance for the cost of 400 gold with a 40 gold per 1% critical chance efficiency. Note that has the same efficiency.

A new version of Facebook for iOS has been released that promises to be twice as fast as the previous version. Facebook 5.0 has been completely rewritten to make it quicker to load and also includes some key functionality changes to make it smarter and more enjoyable to use.
Here are the most important changes that make this an essential update:
Quicker to launch
The first thing you'll notice is that Facebook 5.0 for iOS is much quicker to start up than the previous version. In fact, Facebook claims that the latest version loads twice as fast as the previous version.
Smoother scrolling
The whole Facebook app has been rebuilt in Apple's native Objective-C rather than HTML5, and the main benefit of this is that scrolling is now much smoother. Since news feed content is now pre-cached it means you won't have to wait ages for posts to appear as you slide down the news feed.
Photos are easier to browse
Significant improvements have been made to the way photos are displayed and managed in Facebook 5.0 for iOS. Not only do pictures load faster, but you can now swipe left and right through the photos in an album directly from the news feed without having to open it. Closing photos can now be done by coolly swiping down on the image.
Uploading photos through the app has got faster too, and you now have the option of retaking a picture if you don't like what you've taken.
Improved liking
Liking stuff in the new Facebook app is much slicker than it was before. Now as soon as you like something, it appears instantly next to the post or photo. The pop-up that appears when you view likes is also much neater than it was before, as it doesn't mask the content.
Better news feed
One of the biggest improvements to the Facebook app has been to the news feed. Not only is scrolling faster but you can now access the tabs on the left hand side just by sliding the news feed to the right.
The news feed also has a new feature where you can pull the top to see extra news. This means that whenever your feed is updated you don't have to reload the entire feed to see what's new – it will automatically update at the top of the news feed.

A key witness in an Alaska political-corruption scandal claimed Monday he was the target of a blackmail plot over his efforts to renovate...
ANCHORAGE — A key witness in an Alaska political-corruption scandal claimed Monday he was the target of a blackmail plot over his efforts to renovate U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens' home.
During questioning in an Anchorage federal courtroom, former oil executive Bill Allen alleged that his nephew blackmailed him about the work done on Stevens' Girdwood, Alaska, home seven years ago. The FBI has been investigating the remodel.
For decades, Allen was one of the most powerful and politically connected businessmen in Alaska and helped raise money for politicians, including U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest-sitting Republican senator in Congress.
Allen was so vexed by the blackmail plot that he threatened to kill his nephew, according to an attorney who has reviewed a secret FBI affidavit.

But Allen testified Monday that he didn't think he made statements about taking the life of his nephew.
"I wasn't going to kill him," Allen said under cross-examination in the bribery trial of Rep. Vic Kohring, a former Republican state legislator. "I wouldn't have done that because his mother is my sister."
The nephew is Dave Anderson, who worked on Stevens' home in 2000, according to Bob Bundy, Allen's lawyer.
In a recent interview, Anderson said he worked for about two decades for VECO, an oil-field-services company founded by Allen. He declined to comment on the blackmail allegations made by his uncle.
"We're sitting on a hot skillet here," he said. "If I could give you the full scoop, I would, but I can't now. We have family members to think about."
Talk of both the blackmail and a possible plan to harm or kill Anderson was contained in an FBI affidavit reviewed by Jim Wendt, an Anchorage defense attorney. Wendt represented a former Alaska state legislator who was convicted last month for accepting bribes from Allen and VECO.
"The whole issue with the blackmail indicated that Bill Allen had threatened to kill his nephew as a result of the blackmail," Wendt said.
These allegations add another layer to one of the biggest political-corruption investigations in Alaska history. Two state legislators were convicted earlier this year of bribery. In the summer, the FBI raided Stevens' Girdwood home.
Allen, 70, is the founder of VECO, which recently was sold to CH2M Hill for more than $400 million.
Allen has contributed heavily to Alaska politicians, including Stevens, U.S. Rep. Don Young and a slew of state lawmakers.
From at least September 2005, Allen has been a target of the FBI. Federal agents gained court approval to secretly record Allen's phone calls. In August 2006, Allen agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors and the FBI as they continued to investigate Alaska politicians.
In May, Allen pleaded guilty in an Anchorage federal court to bribery and conspiracy charges. He agreed to cooperate in the ongoing federal investigation, including testifying against former lawmakers he claims to have bribed in an attempt to influence a 2006 legislative vote to raise state oil taxes.
In exchange for his plea and cooperation, the government may recommend Allen receive a reduced prison sentence and has agreed not to charge his children with crimes arising from the corruption investigation.
The investigation became public last year when the FBI raided Alaska lawmakers' offices. In July, FBI agents took the extraordinary step of searching Stevens' home, looking for evidence about the renovation.
Last month, Allen testified in the trial of another former legislator that he and VECO provided workers and paid some of the contracting bills in the home renovation. Stevens' home, which sits at the base of the Alyeska Resort, was initially about 1,200 square feet. The 2000 remodel roughly doubled the size to include 10 rooms and three baths.
Steven has said that he and his wife, Catherine, paid all construction bills that were forwarded to him, and that they amounted to more than $130,000.
"This is a sad portion of my life — it will take time to explain," Stevens wrote in a note to Wev Shea, a former U.S. attorney in Alaska.
Stevens has denied any wrongdoing.
Allen on Monday was asked if the remodel was a "gift" to Stevens. He answered, "No." In an interview Sunday, Allen's attorney, Bundy, gave another reason why his client might have been angry at his nephew. He said Allen was upset about Anderson's relationship with a woman whom Allen used to date.
Bundy stressed that Allen had no intention of killing Anderson.
"Bill was very upset, but he was just talking," Bundy said.

"The Yorks: York Village" York Village by KarenandCory
York Village Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 47 photos
Picturesque York Village, is also referred to as "Old York". You can visit many buildings maintained by the Old York Historical Society, our favorite being the Old Gaol (Jail).
This picture is of the York Village's Civil War Monument. Why is there a Civil War Monument in York, Maine? Due to a shipping mistake, York received the wrong statue. York's statue is on display somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line.
The old buildings in this section of town have led to many stories of hauntings. There's a fun walking tour of York Village where you can hear tales of hauntings and folklore.

This review is from: Yoshi's Island DS game
Pros: This is a very fun game! There are plenty of levels for your Yoshi's and their babies to get through. Some of the levels are easy while others are a bit more difficult (some are a lot more difficult. Replay value is pretty good since after you beat the main quest, there are more levels to play.
Cons: No multiplayer (that I know of). Some of the bosses are really easy.
Other Thoughts: I originally bought this for my little sister. She played it a good amount and got stuck on a level. I played and got stuck on a level. Later I went back and finished the main quest. I think I found it more fun than her =)

"Brecon Beacons National Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Brecon Beacons by pattypoo
Brecon Beacons Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 107 photos
The Brecon Beacons National Park encloses around 500 square miles of varies scenery, from the Black Mountain in the west to the Usk in the east. The Beacons themselves take their name from the fact that they were used for signal beacons. Pen y Fan is the highest point in the Brecon Beacons at 2906 feet.
The Mountain Centre at Libanus is the main National Park Visitor Centre as you pass Brecon and get out into the countryside of the Brecon Beacons. It is situated 1100 feet (330 metres) above sea level and has fantastic views of the highest mountains in the National Park - a fantastic introduction to the area. If you fancy getting straight out for a walk the adjacent moorland ridge known as Mynydd Illtyd is common land that offers some fine easy to moderately graded walking.
It's jam packed with information about everything to do with the National Park including free leaflets on walks, wildlife sites, events as well as maps and books you can purchase giving you a more a in-depth view of different aspects of the Brecon Beacons history, wildlife and geology. There is a very informative exhibition on the geology of the Brecon Beacons and the National Park Guides are happy to help you out with information on what to do and where to go in the National Park. They also run specialist courses for subjects like Mountain Safety Skills and a variety of activities for the kids. If that wasn't enough there is a fab cafe under the visitor where you can sit inside or out admiring the view while you tuck into some of the homemade dishes on offer. Nice big portions mean you won't need to stock up until after you've burnt it off with a walk!
Admission is free although there is a charge for parking (as there is in most visitor centre car parks). The Mountain Centre is signposted from the main A roads and is located just off the A470 from Brecon to Merthyr Tydfil
- Pros:Wonderful Scenery
- Cons:Dangerous in Winter

Summary:A childhood memoir of growing up in an eccentric family in 1920s Scotland following a year in the life of 10 year-old Fraser Pettigrew. Fraser lives in the castle-like mansion of the Macintosh clan with his widowed grandmother, Gamma, his mother Moira and his father, the handsome gentleman inventor, Edward Pettigrew. Part heroic, father figure and part petulant, self-absorbed visionary, Edward unknowingly embroils young Fraser in a series of power struggles between himself and the rest of the family when he risks the family fortune to finance his often times half-witted inventions and begins an affair with Uncle Morris' pretty new bride.

Niki - Mother to Eli Robert (11-1-11) I'm a NUCB, co-sleeping, "Full-Term" Breastfeeding, E.C.ing, BLW, Baby-wearing, attatched Momma!!
My LO is almost 10 months and I just started a few weeks ago. He's really getting the hang of it, so it's definitely never too late to start!!
LO still whimpers when I put him on his pot, but I try to entertain him as much as humanly possible while he sits on it. If he's really having a meltdown, I don't push it. But for the most part, after he gets settled in, he's okay.
You will become obsessed with "catching" every potty. It's almost addicting. And you'll be surprised at how easy it all is when you get a good rhythm going.
DH wouldn't let me take a picture of LO's first poo in the potty. I was very sad.

We're looking for the NIU Huskies/Collies/Bulldogs or whatever to beat the Kent State Golden Eagles/Calves/Showers or whatever.

This is the best Kent State team ever.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
They probably won't win but cheer for UCLA tonight as well. That way even if Kent St. wins they still might not get a BCS bid as UCLA will stay ahead of them.
NIU 26- 14 Kent St.

Kent State got **** pounded by Kentucky. No way they should be considered for a BCS game.
Northern Illinois got beat by Iowa and barely beat Kansas. Neither of these teams should be rated this high.
Well that's not good. NIU fumbles punt at their own 22.

Touchdown Huskies!
Officiating in this game has been God awful. I'll have to remember this when I'm screaming at the refs doing the big 10, big 12, or sec. (okay, no I won't)
That was an amazing pick.
my 26-14 prediction doesn't look too bad right now
This game > Big Ten championship > ACC championship

A government task force is offering breast examination advice that runs contrary to the long-standing position of the American Cancer Society.
The task force says most women don't need a mammogram in their 40s and should get one every two years starting at 50. It also says breast self-exams do no good and women shouldn't be taught to do them.
The American Cancer Society recommends mammograms beginning in the 40's. But the government panel of doctors and scientists concluded that getting screened for breast cancer so early and so often leads to too many false alarms and unneeded biopsies without substantially improving women's odds of survival. Some experts say the reversal is expected to generate debate and confusion.
The new guidelines were issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Its stance influences coverage of screening tests by Medicare and many insurance companies. But an insurance industry group official says insurance coverage is not likely to change because of the new guidelines.

OLYMPIA (AP) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is offering to match up to $250,000 of donations made by the end of the week to the campaign to legalize same-sex marriage in Washington.
The grant challenge was announced Monday by Washington United for Marriage, which is fighting to uphold the state's gay marriage law that was passed earlier this year. That law is on hold pending November's vote on Referendum 74, which asks voters to either approve or reject the law allowing same-sex marriage in the state.
In the release issued today, Bloomberg said that he "does not believe that government has any business telling one class of couples that they cannot marry."
Washington United for Marriage has raised more than $10.4 million in cash and in-kind donations for its overall campaign, far more than the $1.8 million raised by Preserve Marriage Washington, which opposes the law.

Secrets of Success
Odds and ends
Friday, December 07, 2012
I have let things slide for a while now with my tri training. I have been walking a lot, but tonight was the first time I ran intervals in weeks, and it has also been weeks since I went to the pool or out on a real bike. It just seems so far in the future that my motivation just isn't high enough to get me where I need to be for that. I did well with the running tonight with the dog though, so I don't think I have lost much of my progress with the running. It has gotten a mite bit too chilly for me to be comfortable riding a bike, so that may have to wait until Spring. The pool is closed until January, so there really isn't anything I can do about that. I think I will work on the running until after the new year starts, and get back to the swimming when the pool reopens. Sounds like a plan... now all I have to do is follow through. erk! Uh oh! I can do it. I just need to remind myself again in January.
I was planning to take it a little easier today since I had already tracked over 52 miles this week, but I had errands to run, and since I don't have a car I walk everywhere. I had an anxiety attack on the way to the bank. Not the really scary kind where I can't breathe, but it was still annoying. I was tempted to turn around and go home, but I was most of the way there, so I gutted it out. I don't get these attacks when I am out walking the dog... ever. Something about him or his company prevents them. I wish I could get him listed as a service animal so I could take him everywhere with me!
The dog doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects from getting attacked yesterday. Of course I didn't try to take him down that street today. We might just avoid that street for a week or two. He has a pretty good memory for bad stuff.
I made a big pot of chili con carne tonight for supper, and for the rest of the week. I always make a ton. I find chili just tastes better and better the longer it sits in the fridge. The flavors blend better over time. I actually came close to being within range on my sodium today for a change. My mom bought me no-salt tortilla chips, but the fat content is extremely high, so I don't eat very many at a time. Speaking of mom... I am going out to the farm tomorrow to make lunch for her and dad. Dad said he would take a ham steak out of the freezer tonight to defrost for lunch tomorrow. Yum! I don't know what I will concoct, but it always seems to turn out pretty good.

Alot of triathletes treat this as "down time" you dont stop entirely, but rest, plan, stretch, work on core, type things.
Besides, its the Christmas season. Who better to treat than yourself!

Chili sounds so good to me right now! Yum! And I can totally relate to the anxiety attack as I have them too, those and panic attacks. So I know EXACTLY how it feels and how you feel. I'm glad you were able to press through. :)

Maybe if you decide to go down that same road again with Cooper, you can carry him so he doesn't risk that happening again.Sometimes we have to make our life a little tougher for the morons who don't know how to take care of their pets.

That would be nice to be able to have Cooper as a service dog. Then he could go everywhere with you. Maggie would love to go to work with one of us I bet. Beats being alone in the house all day.
The chili sounds good. Jim doesn't like beans, so chili with no beans is just sloppy joes.

'Sissi' Breaks Through to World's Longest Rail Tunnel
The world's longest railroad tunnel moved a step closer to completion as Swiss drilling crews sliced across the final 1.8 meters (6 feet) of rock in a ceremony broadcast live on nationwide television.
Tunnel-drilling machine "Sissi" reached the final breakthrough on the Faido side, in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, around 2:17 p.m. today in the presence of Transport Minister Moritz Leuenberger.
Drilling and blasting on the 57-kilometer (35-mile) tunnel linking Erstfeld in German-speaking central Switzerland and Bodio in the Italian-speaking south began in 1996. The tunnel is scheduled for completion in 2017 at an estimated cost of 18.7 billion Swiss francs ($19.7 billion). It will be the world's longest underground rail link, beating the 53.9-kilometer Seikan Tunnel in Japan.
"With this tunnel, we are helping to build Europe's infrastructure," Leuenberger said at a ceremony in which the tunnel was blessed. "We are helping to shape our continent sustainably and in solidarity by pushing ahead with the transfer of traffic from our roads to the rails."
Trains will be able to speed through the tunnel at 250 kilometers an hour, shortening the four-hour train journey between Zurich and Milan by a quarter.
'Important Connection'
Michael Reiterer, the European Commission's ambassador to Switzerland who attended the ceremony, called the tunnel an "important connection between north and south."
The Gotthard link through Switzerland has been one of the most vital links between northern and southern Europe since a 15-kilometer rail tunnel that took a higher route across the Alps was completed in 1881. About 200 people died during that project, including its Swiss chief, Louis Favre, and four laborers who were shot by police to end a strike.
The new tunnel is being built using a combination of blasting and 450-meter-long drilling machines. It will have two tubes, each with a single rail track and cross-linked in 176 places to provide emergency escape routes. Authorities haven't yet decided what to do with its 129-year-old predecessor. Eight miners have died since the tunneling began.

Sonam Kapoor, Dalip Tahil and singer Sona Mohapatra joined hands with other artists to stage a silent protest in the city in the wake of the recent gang-rape of a woman photojournalist here.
The protest march took place Sunday.
"I am really shocked and taken aback with the recent shameful incident that took place in Mumbai. A sheer act of cowardice," Sonam said.
Dalip called it "a shameful, extremely disturbing event and very shocking". "We want justice and to punish them," he added.
The 22-year-old photojournalist was raped by five men in an abandoned textile mill complex in central Mumbai Aug 22. All five accused have now been arrested.
Other celebs who joined the march included Kannada actress Reshma D'Souza, Karanveer Bohra and his wife Teejay Sidhu, Kushaal Punjabi, Aparnaa Bajpai and legislator Baba Siddique. They started the protest march from the Joggers Park and went to Amphitheatre, Carter Road carrying banners and placards expressing their anger against rising crime against women.
"Sad validation of the fact that NO city in India is safe for women. It is after all the same prevention/enforcement mechanism in use all over," said Karan.
Reshma says that the sad part is "still no fear. Rapists feel they can get away! Economy is down, corruption on the rise and state of law and order is shameful".

"One of the worlds best beaches?" Unawatuna by kentishgirl
Unawatuna Travel Guide: 69 reviews and 148 photos
Yes, that is right. Unawatuna has been voted one of the worlds best beaches and in my opinion for good reason.
We visited Unawatuna and thought we would stay for mayben 4 days, 9 days later we left for Hikkaduwa further around the coast!
Unawatuna is one stunning stretch of sand, the waters here are a delight to swim in, very warm and shallow, the waves were calm and the waters lapped up to the foot of the restauarants.
It is a small village, offering a few small shops selling the basics. But there are some awesome restaurants and the beautiful beach - I realised when uploading this page that I really do not have many tips, but then when I reminiced my time here I remembered that we sat on the beach or in a cafe reading and chilling out for most of the time!

Soriano misses 3rd day with flu
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees outfielder Alfonso Soriano has missed his third straight spring training workout due to the flu and will be evaluated on Monday.
The Yankees, without Soriano on Saturday, were limited because of rain to an early simulated game for fifth starter candidate David Phelps and live batting practice that included top pitching prospect Manny Banuelos, who is coming back from elbow ligament replacement surgery.
"Still not doing well," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Soriano. "We thought he was getting better, then last night he got worse again."
The 38-year old Soriano had a combined 34 homers and 101 RBIs last season with the Yankees and Chicago Cubs, who traded him to New York July 26.

It would seem like by now, Hollywood would have found a way for Colin Firth and Kate Winslet to appear in a movie together. It's rather remarkable that the haven't, but that could all be about to change if everything around a developing yacht racing world drama comes together.
Baz Bamigboye reports that Firth and Winset are in early talks to star in a movie about 1960s scandal involving amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst. Penned by Scott Burns, it'll detail the true life story of Crowhurst's entry in the 1968 Golden Globe Race, where under-equipped and ill-prepared, he began to lag behind. However, in a bid to keep up appearances, he began lying about his location in radio updates, and slowly went mad and by time the race was over, his vessel was found abandoned, and Crowhurst was nowhere to be found, and presumed dead.
It's certainly some interesting subject matter, with Firth as Crowhurst and Winslet as his wife Clare, we'd be there. But as of yet, there's no director on the project and we'd reckon that'll make the difference in these two teaming up. But until then you can check out a couple movies that were already inspired by story including the 1982 French flick "Les Quarantièmes rugissants" and the 1986 Russian film "Race Of The Century."

Tulsa-based Syntroleum studies return to natural gas
TULSA — Syntroleum Corp. is looking to return to its natural gas roots.
The Tulsa-based unconventional fuel maker this week announced a joint development with an unnamed natural gas producer. The companies will spend the next nine to 12 months studying whether to build a plant that would convert natural gas into 4,000 to 5,000 barrels per day of diesel.
"We believe that projects integrating gas reserves with a GTL (gas-to-liquids) facility have a number of advantages, which include reserve and pricing security, reduced operating expense and working capital requirements, and field to plant optimizations," Syntroleum said in a statement Wednesday.
Syntroleum in 2003 developed a 70 barrel-a-day gas-to-liquids demonstration plant at the Port of Catoosa. The facility closed three years later as climbing natural gas prices made the process uneconomical.
Recently, the Tulsa company has focused on its partnership with Tyson Foods in which it converts animal fats and greases into up to 2,500 barrels of diesel per day.
Lower natural gas prices have returned the company's interest again to gas-to-liquids technology.
"If you go back through the history of Syntroleum, natural gas prices were always too high for GTL to make sense," Ron Stinebaugh, Syntroleum's senior vice president of finance and acquisitions told The Oklahoman on Thursday.
"The shale gas revolution has changed that dynamic. Today, gas-to-liquids makes sense."
A barrel of oil contains six times more energy than 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Historically, the two fuels have traded for close to that 6:1 ratio.
But the price of natural gas spiked in 2008 and plummeted in the following years as producers discovered how to use horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to produce natural gas from shale and other dense rock throughout the country.
Oil still a higher trade
In mid-2012, oil traded for more than 40 times the price of natural gas. The natural gas price has recovered somewhat over the past year, but oil still sells for almost 30 times more.
The company said in its first-quarter conference call that it expects natural gas prices to remain below $5 for the foreseeable future, but Stinebaugh hedged those comments Thursday.
"Markets do what markets do," he said. "We obviously think there's a longer-term underpinning of those economics, but that's part of what our feasibility study will look at."
Syntroleum in April completed a 10-1 reverse stock split that boosted its share price above $1 for the first time in more than a year. The price has since added more than 88 percent, closing Thursday at $7.21.
"I think the reverse stock split got people's attention again," said Jake Dollarhide, CEO of Tulsa-based Longbow Asset Management.
Dollarhide said Syntroleum appears to be building on its recent success.
"The Tyson relationship has been about the only thing Syntroleum could hang its hat on. For years they have been in the land of irrelevancy," Dollarhide said. "They're not necessarily any more out of the woods now than they were three months ago or a year ago, but they've taken nice steps."

Bungie Details New Multiplayer Modes For Halo: Reach Beta
Bungie gives us the scoop on the new and creative modes that will accompany traditional Halo multiplayer for the upcoming Reach beta.
Generator DefenseThis is where Halo Reach feels more distinct and objective-driven. In Bungie's words, this mode, "pits three Spartans against three Elites. The Elites are trying to destroy three generators before time runs out while the Spartans are trying to defend." When I point out that Elites are fast and tall foes with superior healing, Bakken replies, "Elites may be faster, bigger, and 'healthier' to use your words, but they are also easier to hit, and Spartans have the advantage of being in a pretty well defended position." He further points out that Generator Defense (or as Bungie calls it, "Network Test 1") always plays as, "two rounds of five minutes apiece," with teams switching from Spartans to Elites and vice-versus per round (so players can experience both perspectives). Of course, if the Elites destroy the generators in just three minutes, then the round ends.
Bakken continues, "This [mode] takes place exclusively on Overlook in the Beta. Defenders have the superior position at the top of a hill, with Attackers trying to claw their way up it." He then describes what happens when a match begins: "We call in a weapon drop where a Longsword flies over and drops off three random power weapons in different random locations on the map. Each weapon pod has a random chance of being a Spartan Laser, a Sniper rifle, or a Rocket Launcher. And those are evenly distributed around the map so that both Spartans and Elites have an equal access to them. So in the beginning, not only are the Spartans running to generators, but people are just running to get the power weapons." On the topic of what gear players will have, he further notes, "In general, the Loadouts are designed to be shared across multiple modes, but you'll definitely see some surprises in this [mode]. They are more in line with the final stage of an Invasion game, which means it's pretty crazy from the beginning. Add in the [aforementioned] dynamic Weapon Drop, and you get some nice variety."
Besides the natural layout and whatever weapons get scrounged up, the Spartans on defense have an additional mechanic: the ability to lock down a generator. Bakken explains, "the act of locking down a generator is simple, because we wanted people to pick it up quickly. You walk up to an unlocked generator as a Spartan and press 'X' to lock it down (Elites obviously can't lock them down). The invulnerability lasts for approximately 30 seconds. It sounds like a long time, but when you have three different gennies on the map, and only five minutes to defend all of them... it gets intense. There's also a brief cool-down period when the lock expires before you can re-lock again, which creates some additional tension during that window of vulnerability."
When I ask about the small three-versus-three player count, Bakken replies, "It's [...] true Generator Defense is a little more intimate, but even with only six players on the map you'll see some intense fighting. Most of the action happens around the generators themselves, since they are the focal point of the gametype." I ask Bakken to describe a "typical match" to illustrate that last point, and he replies, "[Our strategy] constantly changes. Because it's three players on each team, and three generators, the first thing we tend to do is split up. Like one guy will go lock down a generator. But the moment one Spartan goes down, it becomes harder to hold onto anything. Sometimes, all three Elites will rush and attack one generator at a time, or they'll wait to exploit the cooldown of a locked generator. There's not a really good universal defense besides communicating with your team."
This is the fourth and final game mode in the beta, and also the one that Bungie is still being tight-lipped about until we're a little closer to launch. Carroll's one-line quip is, "It's a vehicle-full frenzy!" In fact, this mode and its accompanying map (Boneyard) is the only map in the beta that features vehicles. "[It's] packed to the gills with vehicle combat," says Carroll, who continues with, "It's really big -- nice and spacious to drive around in. A little bit bigger than Sandtrap even." Other scant details about Invasion are that it's a six-versus-six match, and as mentioned earlier while describing the Loadouts for Generator Defense, it seems to be a multi-stage affair that will utilize some heavy firearms during the end.
And there you have it: the new multiplayer modes for Halo Reach that you can play for yourself during the beta. For you traditionalists, there are modes and variants such as Slayer, King of the Hill, one-flag CTF, and three-plot Territories (a purposeful return to Halo 2-style Territories). Heck, there's even a Slayer Pro variant, where your only ability is Sprint, you don't have a motion tracker, and you start with either a Designated Marksman Rifle or a Needle Rifle.
As my time with Bungie winds down, I ask Jarrard how players will actually be seeing and jumping into these modes, and he answers, "There will be five different playlists active at different points during the public beta -- so not everything will be available day one. But as the beta progresses, more playlists will come online. You'll have Arena stuff, you'll have Free-for-All, you'll have Grab Bag which is a mix of different game types, and you'll have the Invasion and Network Test 1 playlists." The final schedule is up in the air, so you have an equal chance of either jumping into a Generator Defense or an Invasion match, depending on which one Bungie picks. Keep an eye out for more impressions of Halo Reach's multiplayer before it hits beta for everyone else on May 3.
