- 1 small pink grapefruit
- 8 ounces dry sea scallops, (see Note)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons dry vermouth, or dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- Remove skin and white pith from grapefruit using a sharp knife and discard. Hold the fruit over a bowl and cut between the membrane to release individual sections into the bowl, collecting the juice as well. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Discard the seeds and membranes. Drain the juice into a measuring cup and add water, if necessary, to make 1/4 cup.
- Sprinkle both sides of scallops with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the scallops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the reserved grapefruit juice and vermouth (or wine) and bring to a boil. Boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add honey, the grapefruit sections and mint. Return the scallops to the pan and reheat gently, turning to coat with the sauce.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Be sure to buy "dry" sea scallops (scallops that have not been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate, or STP). Scallops that have been treated with STP ("wet" scallops) have been subjected to a chemical bath and are not only mushy and less flavorful, but will not brown properly.

IBM Bluemix DevOps Services overview
Last updated: 30 December 2015
IBM® Bluemix™ DevOps Services is software as a service (SaaS) on the cloud that supports continuous delivery. With DevOps Services, you can develop, track, plan, and deploy software in one place.
From your projects, you can access everything that you need to build all kinds of apps. You can work on your own or use the collaboration tools to work with a team. After you build an app, you can deploy it to the IBM® Bluemix™ cloud platform. In minutes, you can go from source code to a running app.
DevOps Services capabilities
Agile planning through the Track & Plan service
A Web IDE where you can edit and manage source control
Source control management (SCM) through Git, Jazz SCM, or GitHub
Automated builds and deployments through the Delivery Pipeline service
Bluemix and DevOps Services
Bluemix is the platform where you deploy your app and add services. The Bluemix Catalog contains services for data management, mobile apps, cloud integration, web apps, and security. The DevOps services in the Catalog are Delivery Pipeline and Track & Plan. You can create a project in DevOps Services or from your Bluemix app with a click of the ADD GIT button.
Development support
In DevOps Services, you can develop software for any language or buildpack. You can also add Agile planning features to your project. The Web IDE provides content assist, tooltips, previews, validation, and syntax highlighting for JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Markdown files. Syntax highlighting is also supported for these file types:
- Arduino
- Embedded JavaScript (ejs)
- Erlang
- Go
- HTML abstraction markup language (Haml)
- Jade
- Java
- Lua
- Objective-C

If you are building a Node.js app, you can make quick updates as you develop and debug by using Bluemix Live Sync. Bluemix Live Sync works on the command line and in the Web IDE.
Agile planning
If you're more of a planner than a code developer, you can create a project just for planning. When you create the project, be sure to add the Agile planning features.

Jeremy Wright has compiled a list of Fortune 500 companies that are blogging.

I awoke this morning to find my Internet service was down. Historically this has been a complete pain, as it was never easy enough to find out if it was a system wide problem or something local about my service or set-up.

The next message was- "We are experiencing service outages in your area, if you would like to receive a phone call when service is restored, please press 1". So, I accepted the offer for the call...

The predictions below are completely unscientific and highly biased… Weblogs will continue to grow in visibility (I know- no duh).

Chris Crielaard was born in the South of Holland in 1971. From a very early age, he was fascinated by the occult and sadistic. He developed this into a comics style which blends his interests in Samurai culture, freemasonry, 'A Clockwork Orange', and the works of Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, HR Giger and Gregory Dark. He is part of "The Lost Comics Tribe", a group exhibition with artists Marcel Ruijters, Mike Diana, Jakob Klemencic and Matthias Lehmann, in the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht at the end of 2002. His work has been called 'Apocalyptic Necroerotik fantasies for a new generation'.

On the Desire for the Political
Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 7:00pm
Lauren Berlant, "On the Desire for the Political"
April 29, 7:00pm
Portland State University, Room 238
April 29, 7:00pm
Portland State University, Room 238
This event is free and open to the public.
Lauren Berlant is George M. Pullman Professor of English and Women's Studies, University of Chicago. Professor Berlant's research focuses on the legal and normative production of personhood in the U.S. nineteenth and twentieth centuries—now the twenty-first: in particular, citizenship, formal and informal. By formal she designates state, juridical, and institutional practices of zoning and more abstract boundary drawing—between public and private, or white and non-white, or citizen and foreigner.
These days mass politics are emotional, exuding intensities that reveal desires for visceral immediacy to shape all kinds of encounter with power, even when it's mass mediated or seems like a transaction that takes place over there, among elites.
"On the Desire for the Political" looks at some instances of contemporary art rooted in traditions of silent protest whose aim is to remobilize and redirect the normative noise that binds the public affectively to the political. Participants in contemporary political life witness this reticent aesthetic all the time, in genres of memorializing from self-immolation to the vigil: what will interest us here is what performances of withdrawal from citizenship's presumptively rational political speech can reveal about the state of popular politics in the contemporary U.S.
She has recently finished a trilogy of books on national sentimentality now—the first and third in the series The Anatomy of National Fantasy (1991), The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship (1997), and The Female Complaint: the Unfinished Business of Sentimentality in American Culture (2008). Her edited volumes include Intimacy (Chicago, 2000) and (with Lisa Duggan) Our Monica, Ourselves: Clinton and the Affairs of State (2001), and Compassion: the Culture and Politics of Emotion (2004).
"On the Desire for the Political" will be a lecture on ambient citizenship that involves thinking about scavanging and Katrina and the question of what the political has to do with the continuities of life.
See also the Workshop with Lauren Berlant, 10 am Friday, April 30. Neuberger 407.

On September 15, 2004, I had a remarkable prayer experience. Here is what happened:
My wife, Nola, just called from "the set" where our seven year old daughter Kaylin is acting in her first major role in a television commercial. She has the only dialogue in the commercial (about fifteen lines) and my wife was anxious because the filming had been going on for quite some time and Kaylin didn't seem to be giving the director what he wanted. After each "take," Kaylin would turn her head to look at the director for approval – when apparently she was supposed to look at an artificial "mark" the director had placed beside the camera. No matter how many times the director told Kaylin to look at the "mark" after saying her lines, she kept turning her head to him as if to say, "How was that?" And of course, each time she did this, they had to redo the take all over again. Meanwhile, each time she did this, my wife felt like she would surely die from the anxiety. (Nola was watching from just far enough away so as not to distract Kaylin.) Finally, when my wife couldn't stand it anymore, she stepped out of earshot to call me.
Over the phone, I tried as best I could to settle her down. "You need to do your best to stay calm," I said. "This is a big day for both of you. And being upset isn't going to help. Of course, Kaylin is going to make mistakes. She's just learning – and the people who hired her are well aware of that. Besides, they work with kids all the time. And you know the old saying in film: 'Never work with kids or animals.' Well, there's a reason they say that. Kids and animals are SO unpredictable — it takes a lot of patience to work with them." Nola seemed to relax a bit, and because I was feeling so helpless, I suggested that she say a prayer for Kaylin. "What do you think I've been doing all morning?" she snapped back. "Okay, okay," I said. "I'm sorry. How about I go and say a prayer myself?" "Great," she said, "We'll take all the help we can get." And with that, I said I would, and I asked Nola to call me back and let me know how things were going.
The second I hung up, I immediately got down on my knees, bowed my head to the floor and prayed. "Dear God, Please help Kaylin. She has wanted to be an actress ever since she was three years old. And here she is with this big job and it is such an important day for her — in accordance with Your will, please help her to perform in a way that meets with the director's approval. Also, please be with Nola and help her to trust that everything is going to be okay. This is a big day for her too. Thank you, God. Amen."
After concluding this prayer, I remained bowed on the floor, my mind calm and still (as in meditation), my eyes closed. Because I was in such a complete state of surrender, after a minute or two, without my conscious intention, my body suddenly began to move – something it often does when I am praying – for instance, sometimes my head will nod 'yes' as if it agrees with what I am saying, or sometimes 'no' as if it disagrees. In this case however, my body suddenly rose up into a kneeling position and my hands began to clap very rapidly. But because I was accustomed to occasional movement during my prayers, rather than being jolted out of stillness, it was very natural for me to simply leave my eyes closed and let my body do what it wanted to do. And so the clapping continued for several seconds and then it just stopped. A few moments later, my head bowed back down to the floor where I remained in stillness for about two more minutes until all of a sudden I burst out laughing. I had no idea what was so funny, and yet, the laughter continued for several seconds until all the anxiety I had felt at the start of my prayers was gone. I thanked God once again, opened my eyes, got up, and returned my attention to the bills I was paying when my wife had first called.
About a half hour later, the phone rang. It was Nola. She and Kaylin were on their way to a new filming location and they were lost. I gave Nola directions and then asked what had happened.
"Oh yeah," Nola said, suddenly remembering that she was supposed to have called me. "Probably no more than two minutes after we talked," she said, "they did a take where Kaylin suddenly did exactly what the director wanted and everyone was so thankful, they all broke out in spontaneous applause."
"That's really funny," I said, "because a few minutes after I started praying, my hands suddenly started to clap." Then I told her how a few minutes after that I broke out laughing.
"Well that makes sense," Nola said, "because just after they finished clapping, they immediately went on to do Kaylin's close-up. The director told her to shout out her lines really loudly (there was going to be an idling motorcycle next to her in the final edit) and the way she did it, it was so funny and adorable, the moment the director yelled "cut" everyone on the set burst out laughing, and that was that. One and done!"
UPDATE: Nov 15, 2011: Shortly after this incident happened, I began to feel a growing sense of dissatisfaction with my career. And I couldn't help but wonder if maybe I had made a wrong turn somewhere in my life. The feeling was so pronounced, I decided I was ready to make a correction, if corrections could be made. Consequently, I began to include in my prayers a prayer that went something like this: "Please let me be no more or no less than exactly who I am, in accordance with your will, and in service always to the highest good, whatever the consequences may be. Please show me the way, that I might walk in your exact footsteps." For the continuing story of my spiritual journey, please see this link.

She tells of a car accident where the driver, Maggie, is so badly hurt that her soul literally takes flight, leaving her body to float above it and the wreck of the car she is in. All the time, she is fully conscious of events around her, the other cars on the road, the onlookers, and those who rush to help her. Then she becomes aware of something else: a beam of light coming from the driver of the fifth car behind her in the queue of traffic now forming. The light enters the wreck of her own car and then her body, slumped unconscious in her seat. Then all is dark and silent.
Maggie wakes some time later in a hospital and, when she is fully recovered, remembers the sensation of floating above her body and the strange beam of light she had seen. She finds that she can remember the number plate of the car five cars behind her, the one the light had come from. That is the first curious thing – because if her consciousness (her soul) hadn't truly left her body, how could she have seen this number plate?
Because Maggie knows the number plate of the car, she is able to find the driver and calls on her one day. After introducing herself, she relates the sensation of floating above her body and seeing the light which had entered it from the person she is now with. "Do you have any idea what that light was?" she asks. "Oh yes," says the other driver. "At that point, I was praying for you."
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 12:20 am Post subject: More than I asked for (by artguys)In prayer I have spent the majority of my time in worship and thanks. I have never directly asked for anything for myself, always for others and for the world and the universe. Still, the teachings of our celestial friends were telling me that it was OK to ask for things and/or circumstances as long as it was for the greater good and in accordance with His Will. So I thought I would give it a try and see what happened.
I'm an artist and selling paintings is an irregular thing. I hadn't sold a painting for a couple of months and was beginning to think I might run out of money. So, as I began my evening stillness (meditation), I thought, "Alright. I'll ask for a little business – as long as it is in accordance with His Will and for the greater good."
The next morning the phone rang. It was a gallery owner with whom I had had some dealings. He asked if I would be interested in doing one or two large murals for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut. When I hung up the phone, I was quite taken with how quickly my prayers had been answered and to what degree they had been answered – much better than selling a painting or two!
Each summer I go to Nova Scotia to paint. In order to do that, I have someone stay in my home and take care of my business. I have to have this in order to take off to Nova Scotia. I'm about eight weeks from leaving and had not heard a word from anyone about staying at my place. So, I thought I would ask during my morning stillness.
About two hours later I was walking down the street and I ran into a friend who said, "Are you still looking for someone to stay at your place this summer?" Her brother and his new wife were relocating, had no money and needed a place to stay while they looked for jobs and a more permanent home. My need and their need fit like a hand in a glove.
Two hours! Could I have asked for more? I don't think so.

Everybody has their own bias. I do pay attention to knowledgeable experienced folks, but nobody's word is gospel. You can look not too hard and find plenty of contradictory opinions. Just have to sort through it all.
"I tried being reasonable, I didnt like it."
"I understand. I just don't care"
"I don't give a f*ck" if they remember me at all" (F. Zappa)
It's the warranty, stupid.
1. People are "working" with Chinese carbon manufacturer/wheel builders, and then slap thier name on them. Good that you can have some recourse
against the US seller if something goes wrong, but there it is, some are sourcing rims from there too.
It has been said here (so goodness, it must be true) that all high end carbon frames come from the same three Chinese factories.
Where did these rims come from that your friend found? Information here is key. What if it was from the same manufacturer
that a boutique wheel brand was currently using? (I know it's a Zipp replica, read the question).
Where it was from and what their track record is would go far. No information about those tid bits then it's buyer beware.
2. I think the big three bike makers and people who source Chinese carbon rims would love for it to be true that most of what
comes out there besides their product is junk that will explode. The fact that some have already found facts the contrary and the
fact that carbon products from China of reputable quality will continue to flood out of there will only make it harder for the Big three
and the boutique sellers to put that horse back into the barn.
3. What are people trying to achieve? The same thing big business has been trying to achieve for like, forever, to reach a goal
in an efficient manner as to maintain and/or grow your wealth, not deplete it, while getting what you want.
4. Personally I wouldn't buy a carbon wheel set from China without some data about who was making it. And if someone else already did it and had data, that would be a plus.
The big three bike makers are really fighting frame counterfeiters. What if the counterfeiter had proof that they also made frames for the big three?
What if you could source the Chinese rim maker that supplies a boutique wheel seller?
5. "Magic Building Abilities" is just a bridge too far. But I will say anyone does have a right to use hypebole. But lets be clear that it is just that.
A guy at work said that a man was going around local farms and telling the farmers that he had a special fertilizer that made plants grow super big super fast
and he needed them to buy in and use it so he could use that proof when he went to ask the bank for money. My response to that was that if he had a
"magic" concoction that really worked he wouldn't be wasting time with the farmers, he would be working with big fertilizer companies and selling them the
formula or working with companies to get it manufatured, like a micro brewer does with beer.
I see this "magic wheel builder" thing the same way. If you have a revolutioinary wheel building method and you are relatively
unknown and all you got going is posting on Bikeforums, I would say you are doing it wrong. "Somebody that knows something about wheels likes my wheels"
isn't data either. If the method was a true leap in wheels against the likes of ENVE, HED, Zipp and such, you should either sell the process or work your
game better. People should have your name tatted above their butt crack if you have something quantifiable, truly substantial that you can prove
with something other than this one person's testimoney. I would buy from a custom wheel builder for one reason, so he/she could make a wheel set
with a rim/spoke/hub combination I wanted that can't be bought off the shelf. And I would buy from a good reputable builder without magic if it was cheaper.

^^^ I understand the point you are making but it's not nearly that simple and your premise regarding the number of vendors is way off.
Also, you fail to distinguish between proprietary products and open mold products. Factories produce to the level of quality designed in by their customer. If it's all about price that's the primary driving force with regards to design and construction as opposed to function and durability. The product will reflect that.
Good wheel building isn't magic. It's about being detail oriented and having the same basic knowledge as other capable builders and being meticulous in that process. Some can consistently pull it off and some can't. That's what makes a good wheel builder.
We are talking about farsport Chinese wheels. He is more than just someone producing them out of his front room, but he is far from producing the likes of zipp, enve or others alike. He has a good following of online users who are looking for an inexpensive light carbon wheelset, but also has a fair amount of customers who were dissatisfied with the results of the product with wheel failures like brake surface, rim inconsistency, carbon lips cracking or falling apart. Those stories aren't hard to find. Kyle (owner) seems to want to make those situations right which is good but if I experienced any of those failures, I would want a full refund not another set.
My Instagram feed
I took a chance with generic carbon clinchers from Farsports based on their reviews, and I couldn't be happier. For $700 shipped, I received a made-to-my-specs 1330 gram clincher with a 23mm wider track. The brakes were one of my main concerns, and together, with the included SwissStop yellows, they stop better than my stock aluminum wheels w/dura ace combo.
I'm super sensitive to equipment, and so far, with about 500 miles on the wheels, they're holding up very well. I was almost all set on firecrest 303s, but for my application (solo 40 mile daily rides), it seemed a bit overkill.
Here's the crux of the matter for me in "Brand vs Chinese eBay"
With a brand there is an investment in the brand. They want to build a reputation and a fan/consumer base. There is incentive to innovate and differentiate yourself from the competition. BRANDS drive innovation. They take the risks. The invest in their products and their brand image. They establish relationships in the community through dealer networks, events, advocacy etc.
Brands are invested in the consumer experience. If there is a problem they are highly motivated to solve the problem. They want consumer loyalty so they should be doing what they can to stand behind their products when things go wrong.
Brands are thinking LONG TERM.
With the trading companies from China that have popped up on the web there is no investment in brand. There is no investment in R&D. There are no dealer, community or any other kind of meaningful relationship established. They do NOTHING withing the community.
What they do do is find a factory that is copying the work of others and they treat it as a 'money now' product. Money NOW!. If and when the product fails they stand behind it as long as they have to until their inventory is sold through and they can find another vendor and then they start all over again with "new" designs.
If there is a real problem all they need to do is shut down an internet site and continue the process under one of their other company names. They don't care about innovating or long term credibility. It is about MONEY NOW!
They are thinking SHORT TERM.
Depending on where you jump in in this process you could get a decent quality wheelset or rims or you could get utter crap and be let holding the bag. Both are equally possible with most people having a positive experience and an unlucky few that are left with regrets. There are long threads on other forums that show this process over and over.
If you're willing to gamble, go for it. The odds are actually in your favour. If you're not willing to take that chance then buy something you feel more comfortable with.
sadly, Walmart mentality has overtaken a lot of different market segments. everyone wants cheap and a LOT of people are willing to sacrifice quality and confidence to get it (otherwise these knock-off co's wouldn't exist). its a value judgement that each individual has to make.
for me, I generally live by the "I can't afford to buy cheap stuff" mantra. in a nutshell, i can't afford to buy things that I will need to replace. I can only afford to buy most things once and it has to last and I have to have a high degree of confidence in the product. the older I get the more this becomes paramount in my purchasing decisions (for a number of reasons). if that means I have to save up a bit longer to get something, so be it. if I can't save the cash to get it, I do without. I'm fine with that, but each person has to find where their own value judgement is, and educating yourself about the product quality/process/reliability/etc is part of it.
Don't like your job? There's a support group for that. It's callled EVERYONE and they meet at the bar!!!
good point. When I was in my teen years, I constantly took shortcuts on what I really wanted because I didn't want to cough up the dough. Usually found myself going cheap then selling or throwing away because it was crap, going up a step and realizing it was still crap and on and on until I eventually got what I wanted, only I spend twice as much in the long run because of all the prior garbage I bought to try and save money.
My Instagram feed

Yup. I wish I had sprung the extra $100 or $150 to get the 240S hubs instead of the no-names in my Belgium QBP wheels. Will soon be rectified with Novatec hubs so that they match my Rails without tweaking the RD.
Speakinawhich, who knows the best, or at least a very good, wheelbuilder in Austin?
Don't like your job? There's a support group for that. It's callled EVERYONE and they meet at the bar!!!
Neither Shimano nor Suntor infringed on patents or copyrights as their SOP. Yes, there were exceptions but those were not always intentional and, as I said, it was not their entire R&D strategy.
Shimano was also established in another industry before they made bike parts.
They both had a brand, an address and they were available through brick and mortar shops so there was a face and usually service and a warranty backing them up.
So not a good analogy.
Yes, bands can get lazy and introduce goods of lower quality that are overpriced simply because of their brand. That would be a successful brand, non?
Again, I don't think that is what we are talking about here. In fact, it is the opposite; Trading companies are dumping inferior products in the market with no real brand at all and questionable desires to establish one.
Gotta get back to wheelbuilding, but just get amazed by these threads.
I can understand both sides of it, but everyone should kind of take a step back. I think a lot on the consumer side think, "hey, there's nothing wrong with less expensive product and OEM's that Poopoo is well they are doing that as a last resort/grasping at straws to keep their HUGE margins."....just not the case here. There are in fact 3 tiers.
1. Large OEM's. Bells and whistles, large marketing campaigns, what some refer to as R&D, large Protour sponsorships, etc.
2. Middle guys. "us". Building with a lot of proven product. Catalog and open mold rims, custom rims made by the same companies that we were buying catalog rims from. Hubs from the same companies with our own tweaks or designs, or simply just re-branding.
3. The "OMGWTF" Chinese crap purveyors that we're all talking about.
Those of us at the "2" level are the ones that have done the leg work and are selling what we believe to be decent product that delivers that huge value to price that most people on the consumer side of this thread are looking for. The reason we say that those "3" guys suck....is because they suck. This is a forum though and forum users tend to be the ones that are best self educated and plan on being the early adopters. So...good luck! This is they type that wants to buy rims and parts from the cheapest sources they can find and then build themselves. Not my market. So when I say, "hey....that stuff really does suck."....I'm just trying to help you out.
Best part is you don't have to believe me or anyone else.
BTW Psimet, I'd just like to throw in that it'd be really handy if y'all in group 2 didn't rebrand the hubs - that would make it easier to find specs and source replacements when necessary (or to change hubs in other wheels so that wheel swaps don't involve tweaking the RD).
If anyone can tell me where I can buy a good looking, 1,540g 50MM carbon clincher with machined alloy braking, good hubs, CX-Ray spokes that was shipped quickly and has remained true for ~1,200 miles over midwestern potholes for $550 from a brand name, let me know. My experience with Farsports FSC-50 wheels on Novatec 291/482 hubs and CX-Rays has been excellent, especially at this price. The proof is in the pudding. I'm far, far from only one here. Let's see the evidence that Chinese wheels are crap.
Also, the idea that Chinese vendors don't provide service and don't "participate in the community" is provably untrue. Kyle from Farsports is all over multiple forums (WW, RBR, here etc), responds quickly the emails and knows his stuff. The same is true of Jack Chen from Miracle Trade and multiple people from DengFu and HongFu. Velobuild is an entire site dedicated to these vendors that they actively participate in, offering group buys, answering questions, responding to concerns. I've purchased many things from these vendors and always had honest communication, professional packaging and timely mailing. Like anything else, if you buy from some no-name guys off of Ebay, you have no one to blame but yourself for poor service. However, if you buy from these known Chinese vendors, you will get good service.
"I think drivers become like dogs when they see a bicycle fly by at 40mph. Instinctively, they just want to give chase, catch them, and eat them." - Papa Tom
That is not involved in the community. That is doing sales work. Let me know when they help establish bike lanes in a city or do charity work.
The are plenty of examples of failed product in the long, long threads on those same sites. As I said its hit and miss with more misses than branded products and no regard for patent laws.

Someone else can feel free to correct me if there's something I'm missing though; I was going to go with F482SB-11 for everything.

Japan will acquire the exclusive exploration rights for a 3,000-square-kilometer area in the high seas some 600 kilometers off the country's easternmost territory, Minamitori Island, to retrieve rare metals such as cobalt and nickel, the industry ministry said Saturday.
It is expected that the acquisition will lead to a stable supply of rare metals, which are used for high-tech equipment, as Japan currently relies on imports mainly from China.
Tokyo's application for the exploration rights, which are valid for 15 years, was submitted in 2012 and approved by the International Seabed Authority at its meeting in Jamaica on Friday, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Minamitori Island is located 1,800 km from Tokyo and is part of Ogasawara village under the administrative jurisdiction of the capital.
Japan plans to complete the office procedures for the acquisition by the end of the current fiscal year through next March.
Industry minister Toshimitsu Motegi said in his comment, "While we will face many challenges, we will assess the resources content in detail and seek the possibility for developing them."

FIRST IN TEXAS COMMUNITY SERVICE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST GAS SUIT STRUGGLE Gonzalez Asks State Support 18 River Firms In Protest ByJANJARBOE River Walk restaurants closed their 'doors at a.m. Wednesday as a two-hour protest to City Council's selection of a downtown parking garage site. An attorney representing downtown landowners also announced Wednesday that council now has a third site available for the proposed million high-rise facility. Eighteen River Walk restaurants and shops closed their doors, posting signs which stated: "Closed until 2 p.m. Gone to fight for Site I." The controversy exploded into a flurry of activity Wednesday with forces joining the battle lines on both sides. Council voted Thursday to select Site I, a area bounded by Casino. Market, Presa and W. Commerce streets, then reversed itself Thursday evening and.opted for Site II, which has 55.000 square feet and is bounded by S. Broadway, Crockett and College streets and the San Antonio River. Craig Austin, an attorney representing six landowners on Site I, held a press conference at 10 a.m. Wednesday to announce a possible Site III. Austin said that he has communicated with Edward Dennis, a Montgomery, Ala., developer who owns the option for a square block of land for a proposed Hyatt-Regency hotel. According to Austin, Dennis is willing to sell square feet of that block to the city for not more than per square foot for the proposed parking garage. The Site HI proposed by Austin would be bounded by Commerce, Navarro, Presa and Crockett streets and would be the northern half of that block. The proposed hotel would then be situated in front of the garage and extend across Crockett to the San Antonio River. The hotel would front on the rivver. All three proposed sites are within a city block of each other. Site I and III are on the western side of the river while Site II, approved by council, is on the eastern side and is now mostly 'surface park ing area. Frank Phelps, president of Paseo del Rio Association, estimated the protest closing would result in an estimated loss in revenue for the 18 restaurants and shops. "The River Walk business community needs the Site I location which serves Paseo del Rio City Park, the Convention Center complex. La Villita, HcmisFair Plaza, the Hertzberg Circus Collection and other visitor-oriented Phelps said. Phelps said Paseo del Rio Association officials notified the 800-delegate Texas (Continued, Page 24, Col. 1.)

Skeleton Gives Clue To Gangland Killing ByDONHEATH The skeleton of a man murdered in a gangland style execution was found near a creek bed in Southwest Bexar County. No identification was found on the remains, which were discovered Tuesday evening by a young couple horseback riding on ranchland two miles west of Macdona. One bullet hole was in the rear center of the skull, and another was above the right ear. A slug, possibly a .38 caliber, was' partially protruding from the forehead. Several slayings involving underworld narcotics dealings have occurred in Southwest Bexar County within the past decade. Sheriff's Investigator Bill White said nothing pointed to a drug connection in this murder, but he would not rule out the possibility. "It definitely was an Wnitesaid. _ The victim was lying face down, head toward Polecat Hollow Creek, and 800 feet from the Macdona-LaCoste Road. A self-winding wristwatch wasjound on the victim. The watch's calendar was stopped on Monday, 24. The last such date this year was in May, White said. The bones were clothed in blue corduroy jeans, a beige striped shin, and blue and white tennis shoes. Thirty twenty and two found in the victim's rear pocket. White said the murdered man had (Continued, Page 24, Col. 6.) Hill Gets Plea to Intervene SMcUl tt The UWm WASHINGTON Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez Tuesday asked Texas Attorney General John L. Hill to intervene in negotiations between the Coastal States Gas Corp. and customers who have filed more than billion in lawsuits against thecompany. In a lengthy telegram sent to Hill late Tuesday, night, Gonzalez said that regardless of whether San Antonio and other Coastal customers decide to settle their claims against the company in or out of court, "it seems clear that the slate has the responsibility to protect the public interest and to use every resource at its command to do so." Gonzalez asked the attorney general to "intervene as friend of the court in any action to represent the citizens of San Antonio" and "all other citizens whose lives will be affected by the results of this case. The San Antonio congressman said the attorney general's office could supervise various provisions of the settlement, such as the provision calling for a gas search program, by making sure that Coastal is actually trying to live up to the terms of the agreement and find gas for the city. Gonzalez told the attorney genera! that sources have told him Lo-Vaca Gathering Co. reported huge losses in -the past caused by faulty pipelines but those losses dropped substantially under court-appointed independent management. "Only the state can determine if this is true and take appropriate Gonzalez said. "Only the state, using all the powers of its commission and executive agents, can assure that Coastal will be operated in an honest manner and in strict accord with any and all settlements or decrees." Gonzalez said Hill should enter the case "as a friend of the court or as investigator into (he operation of Coastal-Lo-Vaca and as prosecutor if need be." -Two Contests in One- A Real Summer Cash Treat Name Game letters, Page 9-D; TV Sweeps numbers, Page 2J-A For a real summer treat, you have two great contests plus a Summer Bonus number.

Email notification isn't working and what I REALLY don't understand is the half dozen or so threads about this very same issue and they're closed? Why are the toppics closed if they aren't resolved?
I have more than one site having this issue - 2 admin accounts, one receives notices, one doesn't. Can someone please tell me why and if not why, what can be done about it so that the other administrator account can receive notices?
Notices meaning, if someone comments through Jetpack's (email form) or if a comment is made on a post.
