Skip to comments.Biden: 'If I Want to Be President of the United States I Could Be'
Posted on 05/16/2012 7:29:24 PM PDT by thecodont
Vice President Joe Biden campaigning in Ohio Wednesday May 16, 2012
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Sounds like Joe is making a threat against Obama.
My thought: How is he going to get close enough to the 0ne to make it happen?
..and if you wiggle your ears nimrod, you can break up the fat around your a&&
he ran twice and got three votes. I didn't even run, and I almost tied him.
Sometimes all you can do is shake your head.
Could be, could be that thing he had brain surgery for acting up. Either way, he seems to forget all the times he attempted to get the nomination and was soundly ignored by the country.
They must have increased Joe's medications. He's delusional.
"He's hinting RATHER BROADLY that he's the only Constitutionally-eligible half of the ticket." <<<
Interesting thought of yours.
Poor Joe. He's so unhinged, such a loose cannon and has not a clue that he IS either. Like Hillary, he thinks himself to be quite rare and special. He's rare alright.
"Bless his heart."
In that case, Biden was shaking his ass.
He is "special"...
How does this scripted text give us meaning into their plans?
Yep, I see Algore's son is sharing his weed again!
I don't read it as "I can get elected _res."
I read it as, "I can act as _res. when called upon", more like Gerald Ford style.
Hmmmm. That's a good thought. Of course Biden has the brains of mollusk he is just deducing what the rest of us figured out years ago..
Craigslist: Wanted, ekspurt shot. Send rezoome and references to J. Biden, Washington, DC
Perhaps Biden is the dems Plan B.
Or, he's having some sort of LSD flash back.
"'If I Want to Be President of the United States I Could Be'"
I didn't want to take the time to watch this dufus speak on the video.
What could he have possibly meant?
That he could run in 2016?
That he knows something that could sink Obummer if it is "leaked"?
Yeah Joe, and if you want to be a fire engine, you can be a fire engine too!!! Bless your little heart.
I say go for it. Biden for president!!! Watch asswipe get 22% of the vote.
No you can't Joe. As dumb as you are, you are not dumb enough to be at the top of the Bolshecrat ticket.
I seriously would rather have the Gaffe-O-Matic as POTUS because the gaffes and laughs would be never ending. We'd constantly hear the media asking questions and then laughing at his answers because of how idiotic they would be.
I kinda figured slow-joe has been President for the last 20 years. If he wants to "out" Nobama, have at it.
And the king just snickered because he had two.
Crazy Joe is the only humor I get anymore.
Run Joe, Run!
He could. LBJ style.
What does Joe know and how long has he known it?
"That he knows something that could sink Obummer if it is leaked?"
That's right, Joe. Just tell us what you know about the true Obama (his birth certificate, SS registration, SS Number, etc.) and you'll be President the day after he resigns his office.
Sounded stupid at the time, but it passed.
This time Little Joe doesn't have the blessings that Nancey had.
During the vice presidential debate with Palin Biden said "Dick Cheney is the most dangerous vice president we've ever had." If there was one republican with a set of balls and was selected as VEEP by Romney, I'd work my butt off to help them if he'd say "Joe Biden is the dumbest vice president we've ever had."
If bin laden had his way he wanted him to be because biden was so "Obviously unprepared".
Sorry Joe...You need 2 brain cells to be "Viable"
Actually..and this is the scary part..if the media got behind him and sold him as "4 years of comedy relief" until we continued on with someone more mature..it might fly.
His campaign motto????? "But seriously folks!!!!".
Only on another doppelgänger [duplicate] Earth, "Plugs". Either that or 330 Americans collectively drink the Kool-Aid.
What does Joe KNOW?
And when did he know it?
And if I want to move a mountain I'll pick it up
He is an American citizen (unlike his boss) and over 35 years old. I suppose he COULD be President.....most of us COULD be.
Stop to think.....One "accident" and he WILL BE president.
Another nighmare!
On Biden's home planet, Bizarro World, this is perfectly reasonable.
Yes that would be a nightmare. He would make America a laughingstock even more than we have been the last 3 years.
And the WH IQ would rise by 12%...

GamePolitics readers may recall our coverage of David Hecq, the gamer and game shop owner who was running for mayor in the French town of Anzin Saint-Aubin.
Well, he won!
Longtime GP reader Soldat Louis, who often provides us with game-related news from Europe, has posted a message in the GP/ECA Forums about Hecq's victory:
Last sunday march 9th, there were municipal elections in France. And Hecq's team "Pour Anzin-Saint-Aubin : une nouvelle équipe pour de nouvelles ambitions" (litterally, "For Anzin-Saint-Aubin : a new team for new ambitions") received 57.18% of votes, against 42.82% for the former mayor's team. Details are shown on Hecq's campaign blog (in French)
…David Hecq is also credited for the creation of games retail store Objectif Games, which became Ultima Games, a chain of stores located in many French towns.

IDFC to Launch Second Tranche of Tax-Saving Infra Bonds
By Sourav Mishra of Dow Jones Newswires
MUMBAI – India's Infrastructure Development Finance Co. said Wednesday it will launch the second installment of its tax-saving infrastructure bonds Jan. 11 to raise up to 44 billion rupees.
The issue will be open for subscription until Feb. 25, IDFC said in a regulatory filing.
The second installment is part of the lender's plan to garner up to 50 billion rupees by selling tax-saving infrastructure bonds in the retail market this fiscal year through March.
The company had raised 5.38 billion rupees in the first installment in November by selling 10-year bonds under two options with both having buyback clauses at the end of the fifth year. The first tranche offered cumulative annual yield of 9% under one option and a non-cumulative yield of 9% under the other option.
Investments of up to 20,000 rupees in infrastructure bonds are exempt from income tax for individuals.

Sniper Elite V2 heading to the Wii U
505 Games has announced that they will be bringing Rebellion's World War II stealth shooter Sniper Elite V2 to the Wii U.
The Wii U version of the game will include a raft of new features that take advantage of the Wii U Gamepad giving players to tag and track enemies, tag booby-traps and even keep an eye on the blast radius of planted explosives, all without having to leave the action.
Rebellion boss, Jason Kingsley said, "Sniper Elite is just the kind of mature game that is perfect for the different mechanics of the Wii U. Its been a challenge to get it right, but thanks to our team and the fantastic support of our partners at 505 Games we believe weve brought the unique gameplay to a whole new platform."
Sniper Elite V2 will hit the Wii U later on this spring.

So while the thing is incredibly comfortable in terms of back placement/shoulder weight, depending on what Im carrying, it can be a real ******* on my back. I end up with bruises on lower vertebrae from what Im carrying digging into my back. I carry textbooks, my laptop, solid notebooks, etc., so I have flat things pressing against me on a regular basis... I can arrange them when I start but inevitably theyll shift a bit.
Anyone ever padded their bag? Im thinking of getting a sheet of that memory foam and cutting it to fit in between the bag and the liner where it separates. Experiences?

Mobula tarapacana
|Scientific Name:
|Mobula tarapacana
|Species Authority:
|(Philippi, 1892)
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Data Deficient ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Clark, T.B., Smith, W.D. & Bizzarro, J.J.
|Kyne, P.M., Notarbartolo-di-Sciara, G., Fowler, S.L. & Compagno, L.J.V. (Shark Red List Authority)
Mobula taracapana is probably circumglobal in temperate and tropical waters but at present is known from scattered locations in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. A large devil ray (reaching 370 cm disc width) of primarily oceanic occurrence, but occasionally found in coastal waters. The threat from coastal fisheries in México, Indonesia, the Philippines and elsewhere where mobulids are captured is more limited for this species given its apparent offshore habitat. However, the species is landed in Indonesia where the catch of mobulids is increasing due to the high value of gill rakers for the Asian medicinal market. Apart from being taken as bycatch of the inshore pelagic tuna gillnet fisheries and purse seine fisheries, mobulids are increasingly being targeted in Indonesia. Although information is lacking it is most likely taken elsewhere in its Asian range (for example Taiwan). In studies of mobulid catches in the Gulf of California, México and the Philippines, M. taracapana represented a minor part of landings. Given its more pelagic occurrence than other mobulids and its apparent ichthyophagous diet, its capture on longlines requires investigation. The affect of the long-term use of high-seas gillnet and longline fisheries is not known for this species but the deleterious impacts of such fishing practices on populations of other large elasmobranchs is well known. This is however one of the least known mobulids and the lack of population data and exploitation rates preclude a global assessment beyond Data Deficient at this time. Increasing catches of mobulids in Indonesia, which may mirror increases elsewhere, is of great concern for a species not likely to be able to tolerate high catch levels due to its low reproductive potential (fecundity of one pup/litter). As such, present catch levels in Southeast Asia together with increasing demand in that region warrant a Vulnerable listing there.
|Range Description:
|Probably circumglobal in temperate and tropical waters but at present known from scattered locations in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (Compagno and Last 1999). Mostly oceanic, but occasionally in coastal waters.

|Reported to be uncommon (Compagno and Last 1999).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Mostly oceanic, but occasionally in coastal waters. Extremely limited information is available for this broadly distributed ray. Mode of reproduction is aplacental viviparity. Embryos feed initially on yolk, then through absorption of enriched uterine fluid from the mother (Wourms 1977). Only the left ovary is functional and litter size is one pup (Wourms 1977, Notarbartolo-di-Sciara 1988). Females of 270 cm DW were found to be transitional or mature in the southern Gulf of California, México (Notarbartolo-di-Sciara 1988). It is observed only in the summer and fall months in this region and is usually solitary, but sometimes seen in small groups (Notarbartolo-di-Sciara 1988).
Limited evidence pertaining to the feeding ecology is available, but it has been suggested that the species may be a more general feeder than other mobulids or possibly ichthyophagous (Notarbartolo-di-Sciara 1988). This possibility is supported by occasional catches of this species on pelagic longlines.
There is no published information on the age and growth of this species.

|Major Threat(s):
The threat from coastal fisheries in México, Indonesia, the Philippines and elsewhere where mobulids are captured is more limited for this species given its apparent offshore habitat. Mobula taracapana is however, susceptible to pelagic gillnets together with purse seines and longline. It has been shown to be only minor components of catches in the Gulf of California and the Philippines, but is more regularly taken in Indonesia. Although information is lacking it is likely taken elsewhere in its Asian range (for example Taiwan) and probably in West Africa. Its pelagic occurrence and apparent ichthyophagous diet, raises concern for its capture on longlines and this requires investigation. The affect of the long-term use of high-seas gillnet and longline fisheries is not known for this species. The deleterious impacts of such fishing practices on populations of other large elasmobranchs are well known.
The species is landed in Indonesia where the catch of mobulids is increasing due to the high value of gill rakers for the Asian medicinal market. Apart from being taken as bycatch of the inshore pelagic tuna gillnet fisheries and purse seine fisheries in Indonesia, mobulids are increasingly being targeted. During the shark fishing off-season (December to March) fishers are landing more mobulids as an alternative (W. White pers. comm.). Apart from gill rakers which are dried and exported, the flesh is also utilized both for human consumption and as bait and chum for longlines.
During a study on the mobulid catch in the Gulf of California by artisanal fisheries, M. taracapana was the rarest species observed, comprising 3% of the observed mobulid catch (seven individuals captured over a four-month period) (Notarbartolo-di-Sciara 1988). There is still an active mobulid fishery in the southwest Gulf of California, south of La Paz and devil rays are also landed in nearshore artisanal elasmobranch fisheries throughout the Gulf of California.
In a study of the mixed Manta/Mobula fishery in the Philippines, M. tarapacana comprised 2% of the total catch in 2002 (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, unpublished study). There is currently a ban on fishing for manta rays in the Philippines, but the effectiveness of this ban is questionable due to limited enforcement ability and mobulids are still being taken illegally.
Mobula taracapana is not likely to be able to tolerate high catch levels, given its low reproductive potential. Increasing catches of mobulids in Indonesia, which may mirror increases elsewhere, is of great concern.
|Conservation Actions:
Additional research is needed to quantify the extent of target and non-target fisheries take for this species and to determine if they pose a serious threat to the species. Available life history information is limited and more research is required to make a more accurate assessment of the threat posed by fisheries.
In México, a moratorium on the issue of elasmobranch fishing permits was issued in 1993, but no formal management plan has been implemented for Mobula taracapana specifically or most other chondrichthyans. However, legislation is currently being developed in México to establish national elasmobranch fishery management.
Elasmobranch landings in generally lack species-specific details (for example in México, batoids are broadly grouped as "manta raya"). Improved clarity in catch records would provide a basis for detecting potential trends in effort and landings.
In the Philippines, fishing for mobulids was banned in 1998, however it was lifted in 1999 to study the fishery. The ban was put back in place in 2002, and currently it is illegal to fish for any Manta or Mobula in Philippine waters. However, enforcement is insufficient and mobulids are still being taken illegally.
Elasmobranch fisheries are generally unmanaged throughout Central America and Southeast Asia and indeed elsewhere in the range of this species, and attempts to regulate fisheries in these regions would greatly improve conservation of M. taracapana and other chondrichthyans.
The development and implementation of management plans (national and/or regional e.g., under the FAO International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks: IPOA-Sharks) are required to facilitate the conservation and sustainable management of all chondrichthyan species across the regions where this ray occurs.
The vulnerability of mobulids and increasing catches requires urgent international conservation measures. These will need to focus on harvest and trade management.

FOURTEEN PAGES SINGLE COPY 7 CENTS. Ike and Dulles Plan to Discuss Foreign Affairs President Reported Refreshed, Cheerful BULLETIN DENVER Lfl-President Eisen- hower resumed personal direction of U. S. foreign policy today in a conference with Secretary of State Dulles. The meeting, at Fitzsmimons Army Hosiptal, marked the Presi- dent's first conference with a mem- ber of his Cabinet since he was stricken with a heart attack Sept. 24. Dulles was at the hospital for an hour, but much of this time he was conferring with the President's doctors. The Eisenhower-Dulles confer- ence centered primarily around the agenda for the foreign ministers' meeting opening at Geneva later this month, which Dulles will at- tend. By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH DENVER (1ft President Eisen- hower awoke "refreshed and cheerful" this morning preparatory to holding his first government policy conference since his Sept. 24 heart attack. Ha arranged hospital meeting with Secretary of State Dulles to discuss internation- al affairs. The 7 a.m. (MST) medical bul- letin from the President's bedside reported: "The President slept soundly last night for eight hours. He feels refreshed and cheerj'ul this morn- ing. "His condition continues to pro- gress satisfactorily without compli- cations." The session with Dulles, dealing mainly with the Big Four foreign ministers' parley opening Oct. 27 in Geneva, marks the first presi- dential step back toward active di- rection of U. S. foreign policy. Advance indications were that Dulles would call on the President during the morning at Fitzsimons Army Hospital, spend about 15 minutes there, and then held a news conference at the Denver White House at Lowry Air Force Base. The secretary flew here Monday night from Miami. Fla., where he addressed the annual convention of the American Legion. He said there the United States will go to the Geneva foreign ministers con- ference with two sets of plans, one to meet any Russian obstruction and the other to exploit any genu- ine Soviet harmony moves. On arrival here aboard Eisen- hower's private plane Columbine III, Dulles told newsmen at the airport: "Just say my principal feeling at the moment is one of personal gladness that I shall be able to see the President again, and it is a very good sign that the doctors will let us have the kind of a con- ferences we'll have." Dulles got to Denver as the Pres- ident was ending another day of satisfactory progress in his slow a pace his phy- sicians now say will keep him in the hospital for at least four more and possibly five. It was a day during which he got outside for the first tune since he was stricken. His hospital bed was rolled onto a terrace near his eighth-floor room and he spent 30 minutes there basking in the warm autumn sunshine with a excellent view of the majestic Rocky Moun- tains to the west. It was a day too during which he handled the biggest batch of government business since he was taken ill. Late in the afternoon he 1. Chose Harold S.

Named Meyer Kestnbaum, head of the Hart, Schafner Marx clothing firm, to be a special White House consultant serving without pay.

Gave recess appointments and promotions to two service officers. Rear Adm. Charles R. Brown, now on the Joint Strategic Survey Com- mittee, advances to vice admiral and becomes deputy commander and chief of staff of the U. S. At- lantic Fleet. Maj. Gen. Clyde D. Adenauer III, Has Pneumonia BONN, Germany Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has pneumonia, his doctors disclosed today. A special medical bulletin issued by two physicians said the 79-year- old West German government chief's "feverish bronchitis has beer, complicated by a light bron- chial pneumonia." This was the first indication that the Chancellor is seriously ill. He has been confined to his home for the past five days. A leader of Adenauer's Christian Democratic party said the Chan- cellor has been receiving daily penicillin injections. First announcements said Ade- nauer was suffering onlv from a cold. Intimates said he became chilled during a night drive from Luxem- bourg to Bonn last Wednesday after his daylong conference with French Premier Edgar Faure and Foreign Minister Antome Pinay on the Saar plebiscite. Adenauer is subject to colds and this is his second serious illness this year. Refinery, Blast Hurts 18 in Pennsylvania MARCUS HOOK, Pa.

Tale of Postal Firings is Labeled 'Distortion' Illegal and Political Actions Are Charged By Democrat Solon DETROIT (ffl Assistant Post- master General Norman R. Abrans today accused Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC) of "downright dis- tortion of facts" in saying that postmasters have been fired by "illegal- and political" means. "This administration will more than welcome any objective in- quiry on the "illegal and political removal of postmasters' inferred in Johnston's irresponsible and reckless Abrams told a national convention of post- masters here. Johnston made his charges in a statement announcing a "sweep- ing investigation of the situation. Abrams asserted: "The actual facts are that since Jan. 20, 1953, a total of 538 post- masters, out of more than postmasters in the country, have beei removed. "Of these 538 removals, approxi- mately half, or 203, have been re- moved for embezzlement of funds.

DETROIT (B State Republican Chairman John Feikens says re- ports by Sen. Johnston (D-SC) that "Hitler-like tactics" arc being used to hire and fire postmasters by the Republican Party are "just a lot of nonsense." Johnston, speaking in Washing- ton Monday night, also said, "There is much evidence indicat- ing that the sale of rural mail carrier jobs in many areas is being used as a device to replenish the coffers of the local Republicn committees." Michigan was among several states Johnston mentioned as practicing the "tactics." Johnston also said he woulc thoroughly investigate the "illega and political removal of postmas ters" by the Republican Party. "The whole thing is a lot of non said Feikens in Detroit "If there is a vacancy in the pos office department, an acting post master is named by the local con he said.

Alfred M, Query Validity Of Dixon-Yates AEC Is Holding Up Cancellation Payment By JOE HALL WASHINGTON L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission has conceded publicly for the first time that 'there may be a question as to the validity" of the Dixon-Yates contract. He said in an Oct. 7 letter made public Monday by Sen. Anderson ID-NM) that any cancellation pay- ment to the Dixon-Yates power roup is being held up while the question of validity is studied in- .ensively. Both Edgar H. Dixon and Eu- gene A. Yates, heads_ of the two major utility companies involved, renewed their contentions that the now-abandoned contract was a valid one. Anderson, chairman of the Sen- ate-House Atomic Energy Commit- ee, said in a statement that AEC noW appeared to be moving toward Eddieman becomes" V Ueutenant i the position he has maintained all along. He has contended it never was a binding obligation on the government, and that no cancella- tion fee was due Dixon-Yates. The AEC consistently has main- tained heretofore that the contract became legally effective some time last winter. The contract was negotiated by AEC last year at President Eisen- hower's direction. It called for a 107-million-dollar plant at West Memphis. Ark., to supply power to the Tennessee Valley Authority to replace TVA electricity and used elsewhere by AEC. On July 11 this year the Presi- dent directed that the contract be terminated and the AEC has been conducting negotiations looking to- ward a final settlement of the con- tract since that time.

Gruenther today urged the free nations of Europe to integrate their air forces to meet any surprise at- tack by Russia. Speaking to the defense minis- ters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the supreme com- mander described the present air command system as "archaic." The integrated air force com- mand he advocated would allow the West to be alerted and get ofl the ground much faster than is possible now. Gruenther said the integrated command should be divided into four main areas: northern Euro- pean, central Europe, Mediter- ranean and Britain. Under the present NATO setup the various air forces are under national control. This also applies to civilian warning systems. A spokesman present at Gruen- ther's closed meeting with the ministers at his headquarters said the integrated plan has not been presented to all the countries in- volved. Gruenther told the ministers that in quality and quantity NATO was behind planned schedules, but added: If war should come today, Oct. 11, we probably would win, but can't guarantee this will always be the same in the future. The supreme allied commander said greater efforts, not lesser ef- forts, are needed. "If we get into a war, there's no prize for second he said.

Struck Foundry Is Reopene Troops Patrol With Pickets France Debates Faure's Policy For North Africa Grudging Support Of Stand Is Expected By HARVEY HUDSON PARIS National Assem- bly turned its attention to troubled French North Africa today for the second time in less than a week, opening a three-day debate on Pre- mier Edgar Faure's plans to sup- press nationalist violence in Al- geria. With the Communists the only faction favoring the Algerian na- tionalists, Faure was expected to win a grudging endorsement for his policy of military action against the terrorists and guer- rillas. The Assembly has approved home rule for France's other North African territories, the protecto- rates of Tunisia and Morocco, but unlike them Algeria constitutional- ly is a part of France itself. The bulk of the deputies neither want to let the territory go nor give its eight million Moslems the same rights that the residents of European origin enjoy. The Algerian French, for exam- ple, elect 16 deputies to the French National Assembly while the than six times as only 12. One strong sentimental factor in Faure's favor was his withdrawal of France's delegation to the U. N. General Assembly- after it voted 2_8-27 to debate the Algerian situa- tion. The walkout was widely popu- lar in France, and the deputies would be reluctant to repudiate the government on any question con- nected with it. The grim daily reports of terror- ist activity in Algeria continued to flow across the Mediterranean. At Bouderbala a dozen rebels armed with tommy guns and rifles shot down a native municipal councilor in the market square. At Douar Souhalia 15 terrorists set a grocery store afire and cut a 17-year-old girl's throat.

These were the words of Dr. Detlav W. Bronk, president of the National Academy of Sciences, in Detroit Monday as he spoke to the economic Club of Detroit. Dr. Bronk, former University of Vlichigan physics instructor and resident of the Rockefeller Insti- ute, told the group: "Although we face an uncertain uture we must realize there is ecurity in growth but only a tro- phy of the spirit in the 'status quo'." He added, "There have always ieen dangers threatening freedom, )ut science will create a common pond, as it always has."

This was announced in Bridge- port, Conn., Monday night by a pokesman for General Electric's mall appliance division. He said a ecent decision of the State Su- ireme Court puts a new interpre- ation on the law, and "as it now tands, the Michigan Fair Trade aw is practically unforceable, and Jaces the dealers which signed ontracts with us in an untenable osition." The GE spokesman said the com- panys new, policy applied only to Michigan, and would not affect pol- cies in other states. He said it ap- lied in Michigan only to small ap- liances, such as toasters and elec- ric blankets, and did not apply to large appliances like stoves, refrig- erators and television sets. Under the Federal Fair Trade act, a manufacturer may make an agreement with dealers not to sell certain items below a fixed price, called a "fair trade" price. In Chicago, Sunbeam Corp. said it will continue to enforce its fair trade contracts in Michigan. R. P. Grimm, president of Sunbeam, said his firm will "resist by every law- ful means within our power all il- legal interference' with the firm's fair trade contracts. The Toastmaster Products Divi- sion of Me Graw Electric Co. also announced in Chicago that it will attempt to enforce fair trade agree- ments. The Michigan Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision Oct. 3 reiterated previous decisions that businesses which do not sign a fair trade agreement are free to undercut the fixed price.

He said would remain in this coun- ;ry to preside over meetings of the Cabinet and the National- Security -ouncil while the President recu- perates.

Arson Forensics Team Studies Fatal Forest Fire
Melissa Block talks with fire investigator Jonathan Calore of the South Carolina Forestry Service about how investigations into forest arsons are conducted.
Calore says that when he's studying a fire, he begins by talking to witnesses and looking at indicators such as burn patterns on trees or stones. After the area of origin is narrowed down, fire investigators go in on their hands and knees, often with magnets, to look for any pieces of evidence.

AP NewsBreak: US bought oil stolen from Mexico
"It is Exxon Mobil's policy to always obey relevant laws, rules and regulations everywhere we operate," said spokesman Kevin Allexon. Shell Oil Co. said it abides by all laws.
Various kinds of petroleum products, including gasoline, are being stolen and sold to gas stations and factories in Mexico, said Ramirez, adding that service stations in at least two states have been shut down recently for selling stolen gas.
The thefts are a devastating blow to Pemex, which saw production fall 7.5 percent in the first half of the year.
So far this year, Pemex is aware of 190 different thefts, almost half in the Gulf state of Veracruz. Ramirez said Pemex is using hidden cameras, extra guards and additional investigators to catch the thieves, but the problem is still spreading: So far this year, oil theft is up 10 percent, and have been confirmed in 19 states, up from 13 in 2008.
And oil theft experts say that just like drugs, the crimes will be tough to stop as long as there's money to be made.
"U.S. refineries willing to buy stolen crude don't care where it comes from. Once the product is at their doorstep, the deal is done, and they can pay pennies on the dollar without taking the risk of getting it across the border," said Kent Chrisman, director for global security with Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy.
Chrisman, a former Secret Service agent, recently teamed up with Texas law enforcement agents to bust a ring of thieves in that state.
Oil theft in general is a relatively new problem, Chrisman said, "but we've seen a big spike in recent years because oil prices went up. Every year it seems to get worse and worse. It's a profitable business."
AP Energy Editor Charles Sheehan contributed to this report from New York.

"Noisy, grubby, chaotic and entirely unmissable!" Naples by leics
Naples Travel Guide: 1,391 reviews and 3,758 photos
I'd visited Naples on previous trips to the area, but only briefly. And without my camera, for I am ashamed to say that (at that time) I was swayed by internet horror stories about the city.
I found out on that first, brief visit that Naples is *not* stuffed full of criminals and is no more 'dangerous' in its centre than any other similar city.
A return, and a fuller exploration, was essential. So this trip allowed me time to at least scratch the surface of what is indeed a noisy, slightly grubby and chaotic historical centre...but one which is full of life and vibrancy, and which did not feel in the least bit unsafe to a solo middle-aged female visiting during the daytime. I cannot speak about late evening wanderings...but, as a solo female, I am wary of those not only wherever I travel but also in my own town!
Of course one takes common sense precautions against pickpockets (but I do this when I visit my nearest city). Of course one does not flash expensive jewellery or wads of cash nor leave valuable cameras lying around unattended. But surely common sense tells you not to do those things anyway?
The main 'danger' I encountered was the traffic. Even that is not dangerous in itself, although you do need to stay alert and aware. Cross the road with determination and do not hesitate in the middle: drivers won't hit you, they'll drive round you. Glare at them as you cross if it makes you feel better!
Watch out for scooters. Not because they are all bag thieves (they're not, of course they're not) but because they appear from nowhere in the narrowest of streets.
Neopolitans are used to dealing with these things. You aren't, so you need to be much more alert than usual.
O...and Naples' apparently dreadful rubbish problem? I saw no evidence of it in the historical centre. No doubt there are times when the situation is worse, and certainly I believe it often is in areas on the outskirts of the city. But when I visited in October 2011 Naples seemed to me no worse, in terms of rubbish, than many other Italian cities.
So please don't believe all the internet hype and horror stories. Naples is fascinating, with lots of history to explore, and its historical centre is well worth at least a day's visit.
As I'm mainly interested in history and archaeology it was inevitable that my wanderings would focus on the centro storico (historical centre). But to get there from Napoli Garibaldi station, where I arrived from Sprrento, I walked through the Forcella district. This is one of the city's poorest areas, a stronghold of the Camorra. Scary? Not in the least. A warren of tiny, narrow streets festooned with washing and the odd caged bird, of old people sitting outside in the sun chatting, of streetside tripe-sellers and tiny shops filled with all manner of objects for sale.
I had to find Santamissima Annunziata, which had an adjoining orphanage. The buildings are now a children's hospital but you can still see the rotating 'ruota' in which abandoned babies (and sometimes children) were left. Chilling, and very very sad indeed. There is an irony, I think, in the fact that most of the small shops on the street leading to Santimissima Annunziata sell baby clothes and baby goods.
From there I spent a wonderful 2 hours or so exploring the streets of the centro storico, gradually working my way towards the National Archaeological Museum. I could have taken far, far more photos than I did...the vibrancy, the narrow alleyways, the aged and semi-derelict buildings, the glimpses of Naples' Greek and Roman past (modern Naples is, basically, built on top of the ancient city buildings).
To the Duomo, interesting enough in itself (and with a truly over-the-top chapel to San Gennaro, the city's saint). But also with a superb, recently-restored 4th-century baptistry (additional entrance fee, but worth it) and underground excavations which leads you along a Roman road (unfortunately, these excavations were closed when I visited).
But I was able to visit a fragment of the ancient city underneath San Lorenzo Maggiore, accompanied by a volunteer guide who was keen to share his knowledge (and practise his English) with me. I'd felt a bit rushed, to be honest, but appreciated his efforts nonetheless. It's a wonderful, and very strange, experience to walk underneath a building and find a two-storey Graeco-Roman street...
The National Archaeology Museum is full of 'wonderful things' from Pompeii and the other ancient sites around Naples. Only a tiny part of what has been found is on display and, when I visited, several galleries were closed for restoration/renovation. But it was still worth the visit for I had not fully realised how magnificently skillful the mosaics could be, how tiny the stone fragments...nor had I fully realised how truly wonderful some of the paintings and sculptures are. The museum is an absolute 'must' if you are visiting Naples.
I walked back through the centro storico again, exploring more of its buildings and streets, enjoying the sights, the sounds, the life and the graffiti (not, by the way, automatically sign of gang warfare as it often is elsewhere..Italian graffiti has other motivations).
To the Cappella Sansevero. I'd not intended to visit this place, simply because it is later than the historical periods which are my main interest. But I'm so glad I did. The sculptures within are truly wonderful...I was overwhelmed by the skill of the artist. It is not cheap to visit and you cannot take photographs (you can buy postcards) but, my goodness, this is a must-see as well in my opinion.
I'd walked miles and had had enough for the day, making my return slowly back to Napoli Garibaldi for the train back to Sorrento. It was a wonderful day, filled with colour and noise, crowds of ordinary folk living ordinary lives, the buzz of scooters and the roar of traffic, washing lines hanging everywhere..and the knowledge that almost everywhere under my feet lay the remains of the ancient city.
But there was so much more of Naples I wanted to see and explore. I'll have to return one day.
I expect you'll feel the same, if you accept that Naples has its own life, that there is order within its apparent chaos and...above all...that you are in no danger.
- Pros:Vibrant and full of history
- Cons:Busy traffic and crowded
- In a nutshell:Do *not* believe the horror stories!!!!

5-star intro as always, Ducks. You threw me for a minute there, though: a Santimissima Annunziata near an old orphanage with a ruota? Thought I was reading about Florence!
Ah ha!
Had to make a return trip to see them, and had to cope with a tour in Italian, but was def worthwhile.
Oh yes, oh yes, it is about time for me to visit this splendid chaotic city full of life :-))
Hi J., first time in Naples we just had a walk after our visit to Pompeii. This summer we will stop again at Naples for one day and I'm planning the visit. Your page is very interesting and your tips quite useful as usually. Thanks for sharing.
Full of history (as all Italy) and unmissable, yes, but dirty, very dirty and noisy.
i red now many of your new tips (not the all yet), when I heard about we could go after all. Herculaneum is a must of course. Sounds great. Pozzuoli sounds funny for the name . It couldn be translated in Finnish as " The pig was.." In Finnish "possu oli" :D Could be fun to send cards from there ;)
Can't wait to see the whole page (a city not to miss at all)!

Why Are We Afraid? Civil Marriage Is for Caesar to Decide, Not the Church
Cafardi, Nicholas P., National Catholic Reporter
If you count the sayings of Jesus in the New Testament, a phrase he uses with some regularity is "Be not afraid." He says it to the apostles in all four Gospels, and he even tells it to Paul twice in Acts, once in a personal vision, and once in the voice of an angel.
Yet, today, his church finds itself afraid: afraid of movements by state legislatures to define civil law marriage in such a way as to allow same-sex partners to marry civilly. Why are we afraid?
Civil legislatures cannot define for the church what sacramental marriage is, what matrimony is. The First Amendment protects us from that. No legislature can tell the church who to marry or who not to marry.
So if the state wants to say that a man can civilly marry a man, or that a woman can civilly marry a woman, why should the church care?
The church would respond that, by taking this action, the state is devaluing the natural union of man and woman in matrimony. But we have long since abdicated that argument. What arguably could devalue the natural union of man and woman more than the fact that, in all 50 states, through no-fault divorces, any heterosexual spouse can walk away from the other, basically by filing an affidavit alleging that the marital bond is "irretrievably broken"?
I recall a late-night comedian saying, "Let gays get married. Why shouldn't they be as miserable as the rest of us?" Easy divorce is more destructive of marriage than anything else. And we have long since acquiesced in that, even rectifying its results in our annulment courts.
Obviously, in the same-sex marriage debate, the church feels a strong need to have the civil law reflect the church's teachings. Confronted in the public forum with that attitude, many might cry, "Foul!" But the church would respond: The nature of marriage is not just our teaching. It is a matter of the natural law, and civil law should reflect the natural law. That is a very strong argument. Human positive law should reflect the natural law and not go contrary to it.
There are two vulnerabilities with this argument, however. The first is scriptural. There is a patently clear warrant for polygamy in the record of the original covenant. By New Testament times, though, that practice was abandoned. But the patriarchs of the Jewish scriptures very clearly had multiple wives; so how "natural" is the one man, one woman definition of marriage? Natural law, to qualify as natural law, must be true in all times and all places.
The second flaw is bio-political. In an ideal world, human positive law would reflect natural law. But, in a democracy, that can happen only to the extent that civil society can perceive or interpret that natural law to the limit of its scientifically demonstrable knowledge. …

Concept artwork is typically related to video game design. But it can also be very useful in other forms of media. There are many Hollywood movies, TV shows, video advertisements, and other projects which often hire concept artists. CG is typically thought of as 2D art while CGI is usually computer generated 3D effects.
This gallery focuses around 40 examples of CG concept artwork. Most of this artwork was created by hand in software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. The purpose is to create vibrant characters, worlds, items, and landscapes which can be depicted within the project.
