Saturday, May 19, 2007, 07:32 PM - MaineThere is no better way to spend a weekend or vacation that to spend it dallying around the region during the day and then enjoying evenings of leisurely dining. There are numerous choices of activities and eateries that are sure to please the preference of every visitor.
You do not need to fly anywhere or drive for endless hours to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Kennebunkport, Maine offers it all and is located just a hundred miles north of Boston and only five hours from New York City. The short distance makes it feasible to come to Kennebunkport, if only to enjoy a day of leisure followed by dinner. At times, just a change of scenery and a few hours to explore a new town is all that is needed to be rejuvenated.
Kennebunkport is a seaside community that has the coastal New England ambiance that one would expect, while also offering an array of diamond star accommodations, endless miles of beaches, eclectic boutiques, art galleries, and museums.
If you love exploring new regions and love the ocean, then you will enjoy spending a day visiting local lighthouses. Kennebunk is home to the Goat Island lighthouse, the last manned lighthouse in Maine, and the next to the last to be automated in the United States. There are at least a half a dozen more within a short driving distance of Kennebunkport.
The majestic Atlantic coastline is best viewed from out on the water, where the visitor can look back at the rugged rocks, and the sights of people walking dogs, flying kites, running and walking along the sand beaches. The region offers numerous excursions which include whale watching, short schooner sailing trips, puffin watches, and sunset cruises.
For those who prefer to enjoy the rich culture of this historic town, a sightseeing tour would be a perfect way to spend the day. The In town Trolley offers 45 minute narrated tours and visits such places as President Bush's estate, the Franciscan Monastery and Spouting Rock. For a minimal fee, you can purchase a day pass and disembark and board as often as you like throughout the day.
There are also walking tours available. Scattered throughout the village are places to buy steaming lattes, cocoa, and coffee to enjoy while taking in the wonder of seemingly stepping back to the 1600's. The charm of the quaint brick buildings is not diminished by the 21st Century businesses that dwell within. For those who prefer the more contemporary shopping experience, Dock Square is an excellent place to do outlet shopping. Visitors will not want to bypass the opportunity to enjoy a cone of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, made right in New England.
Many visitors will come to Kennebunkport to enjoy playing golf on one of the many courses in the region. The Cape Arundel Golf Club is favored by former President Bush and offers tee times for visitors and non-members. Webhannet Golf Club is another excellent choice for avid golfers, and is home to regional tournaments.
There are some visitors who desire to enjoy the country setting that surrounds Kennebunkport. A must see is Lightfoot Farms, just outside of town. The farm raises Alpacas, specializing in Peruvian Alpacas. Visitors will enjoy learning about the tradition and rich heritage that accompanies raising alpacas.
Some will define "dallying" as doing nothing more than reading a good book and enjoying time at a Spa. Kennebunkport offers several choices, including The Breakwater Spa and the White Barn Inn & Spa. Going to a spa offers the opportunity to select from an array of services, ranging from facials to massages. Top therapists will do deep muscle massage and relax taunt muscles, stimulate circulation and use premium products that will soften and pamper the skin. Packages and appointments can be tailored to meet your individual desires, all designed to rejuvenate your body, mind and soul!
After a day of total rejuvenation and being invigorated by the fresh New England air, choose to have dinner at one of the famous eateries as the dessert to your day!

Many visitors to Maine want to have a lobster for dinner, and Stripers in the place in Kennebunkport to enjoy one in authentic surroundings.
Grissini Italian Bistro is the perfect eclectic dining experience for those wanting to continue the day that has been filled with absorbing rich history and culture of the region.

Thursday, May 17, 2007, 12:00 AM - AlaskaExtreme" best describes Alaska, America's outermost northern state, one-third of which lies in the Arctic Circle. Although Alaska is the largest state in the Union, (two and a half times bigger than Texas), its rough terrain prohibits intercity travel. As a result, each Alaskan city and town preserves its unique charm and village-like quality, marked with ancient totem poles. Towering snow-covered mountains with menacing jagged peaks preside over charming little towns of humble, one- and two-story wood buildings. American Bald Eagles soar over the onion domes of Russian Orthodox churches, reminiscent of the time when Alaska belonged to Russia.
Alaskas landscape is primitive, pristine and perilous. Its exotic blue ice for example, (referring to Alaskas turquoise ice floes that sail passively over a midnight sea), seems as gentle as deer, yet as deadly on waterways as deer are on highways. This stunning blue ice floats silently beneath towering glacier walls called white thunder, so called because they look like white, foamy tidal waves frozen in midair.
Although the modern worlds cruise ships and airlines frequently penetrate this massive snow-fortified land, much of the state remains a vast wilderness that defies man's taming or domestication. Alaska is full of awe-inspiring beauty and deadly dangertwo extremes of Mother Nature's personality. As the state's unofficial nickname claims, it is "The Last Frontier."
Juneau is the only landlocked capital in the United States. No major roads travel in or out of the city. However, frequent air and boat service make this hard-to-reach capital a manageable trek thats worth the effort and expense to get to. Where else can you find state business being conducted at the base of a snow-covered mountain, down the street from a moving glacier, close to a lush rain forest, in a wilderness where bears roam freely, Bald Eagles soar; a city where Tlingit totem poles stand, onion dome Russian Orthodox churches rise, and the remnants of 19th century gold miners mark their distinctive claimall in one city?
Things to See in Juneau:
Alaska Statehouse
Built in 1931, the Territorial and Federal Building became the State Capitol in 1959, and has housed the state legislature, governor's office and Lt. governor's office ever since. Four columns of Tokeen marble from Prince of Wales Island south of Juneau, embellish the exterior brick-faced concrete structure. The Alaska State Seal in the lobby, made of gold nuggets from Alaskas Gold Rush era greets visitors. The doors to the Senate Chambers have handles of hand cast brass etched in totemic symbols representing an eagle, a whale and a bearstill commonly found in Juneau to this day.
Check it out . . . The portrait of former state senator Bettye Fahrenkamp shows her wearing earrings of native symbols that mean "in one ear, out the other. She wore them during all Senate sessions.
Check it out . . . The map of Alaska on the third floor is made from a piece of the Trans-Alaska pipeline.
Alaska State Museum
Founded as a territorial museum in 1900 the Alaska State Museum today displays Alaskas natural history, native history, state history, art and culture with exhibits containing more than 23,000 artifacts and works of art.
Check it out . . . The Alaska Native Gallery includes a Northwest Coast clan house complete with totems, a 38 ft. umiak, a whaling boat made from driftwood covered with walrus skins and the states unique bentwood hunting hat.
Check it out . . . The Natural History Gallery exhibits Alaska's bald eagles in a full-sized nesting tree that includes seven eagles at various stages of life, from egg to adult.
St. Nicholas Church
St. Nicholas Church, situated above downtown Juneau is the oldest original Russian Orthodox church in Alaska. A gilded gold onion dome crowns a humble, thatched roof cottage of white clapboard trimmed in Nantucket blue. The bell hanging from a small steepled doorway beckons visitors inside where solemn, 19th century Russian icons and liturgical items transport one to Russias past.
Tip: Weekend services sung in English, Tlingit, and Old Slavonic are held Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings.
Mendenhall Glacier
One of Alaska's most popular attractions, Mendenhall Glacier, is just few miles from downtown. So close to town, yet so far from civilization, this primordial mass of ancient ice stretches 12 miles, spans a width of 1-1/2 miles, and is 400-800 feet deep, depending on where you stand. Naturalist John Muir considered it "one of the most beautiful of the coastal glaciers." An easy trail along Mendenhall Lake leads to close-up views of this massive chunk of ice and rock, which is merely one arm of the colossal Juneau Ice Field, a 1500-square-mile block of ice larger than the state of Rhode Island.
Tracy Arm Fjord
A natural fence of jagged white mountains surrounds this narrow, deep waterway. The base of the mountains descend almost in equidistance to the depths of the greenish blue water below. Triangular ice floes that look like huge wedges of aquamarine pie topped with whipped meringue on a crust of snow sail past boats half their size. Waterfalls spew out between a fringe of evergreens, cascading into an awaiting green sea, synchronized like the well-rehearsed leap of a ballerina into the arms of her anticipating partner. The wide-winged Bald Eagle commands the skies overhead as whales, seals, porpoise, and other wildlife splash and splatter below in their private swimming hole, protected by glacial stone palisades. The waterway is like a gigantic moat shimmering past a glorious ice palace. Glaciers, waterfalls, feathery green pines, and flirtatious ice floes of translucent blue and opaque white make this a wintry fairyland to dazzle the eye and make ones heart soar with the eagles.

Tuesday, May 15, 2007, 08:26 PM - ArizonaFor the traveler searching for the iconic symbols of the Old West - horses, cowboys, cactus and coyotes - you can't do much better than by heading over to the western outskirts of Tucson Arizona.
Tucson's Old West roots lie in its past as a ranching town and former cavalry outpost during the tumultuous years of conflicts with the Apache tribes.
Though most of the ranches have turned into subdivisions and strip malls, pockets of that cactus-studded Old West landscape lie just outside the city's borders.
To escape for a day into Tucson Arizona's Old West past, saddle up your vehicle and go west...
1) Act Like a Dude
Start your Old West adventure on Tucson Arizona's growing northwest side. West of the busy Interstate 10 freeway and tucked against saguaro cactus-studded mountains are two dude ranches that preserve the Old West lifestyle.
Explore your inner cowpoke at White Stallion Ranch - a working cattle ranch on 3,000 acres of prime Sonoran Desert. Guests can stay overnight - or for a week. Take a leisurely trail ride, participate in team cattle pennings or attend the weekly rodeo.
Nearby, the Lazy K Bar Ranch also offers the dude ranch experience - for the day or for overnight stays - with breakfast rides, nighttime horse-drawn wagon rides, cowboy cookouts, Sunday afternoon rodeos and all-female cowgirl camps.
2) Cactus, Coyotes and Cardinals
Continue on your Tucson Arizona Old West adventure with a drive along Picture Rocks Road which begins just north of the ranches.
This scenic 2-lane route meanders through the northwest corner of famed Saguaro National Park.
For several miles, you'll see nothing but craggy peaks, wide open spaces and scenic desert lush with saguaro, prickly pear and cholla cactus and spiky ocotillos. Keep your eyes peeled for javelina, jackrabbits or coyotes crossing the road and cardinals perched in the green-barked palo verde trees.
3) See a Forest of Giants
Take a leisurely trip into the park. From Picture Rocks Road, turn onto Golden Gate Road. This unpaved route is an easy drive for any vehicle and winds through some of the thickest stands of the towering, multi-armed saguaro cactus in Arizona. You'll also get gorgeous views of Wasson Peak - the highest mountain in Saguaro National Park.
There are plenty of places to stop and hike the park's trails or enjoy the views. Sit quietly and you might see Harris hawks, antelope ground squirrels or even a roadrunner.
For a quick side trip, take the turnoff to the Signal Hill picnic area. A short trail from the picnic tables leads to ancient Native American petroglyphs etched onto large boulders - the "Picture Rocks" for which the area is named.
Continue on the Golden Gate Road to the park's excellent visitor center. The wonderful displays help you identify what you've seen and introduce you to the Tohono O'odham - the Indian tribe that has inhabited the Tucson Arizona area for centuries.
4) Discover the Desert's Plants and Animals
From the visitor center, head east on Kinney Road to the world renowned Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum - one of Tucson Arizona's best attractions.
This combination zoo, botanical garden and natural history museum has colorful garden paths and naturalistic exhibits that immerse you in the sights and sounds of the region. They have over 1,300 types of plants and more than 300 kinds of animals. Here you can see often elusive species such as desert tortoises, Gila monsters and mountain lions.
This is also a great place to eat lunch at the gourmet Ocotillo Cafe which serves inventive Southwestern cuisine or the cafeteria-style Ironwood Terraces with its burgers, sandwiches and salads.
5) How the Old West Was on the Silver Screen
Continue east on Kinney Road to one of Tucson Arizona's popular tourist attractions - Old Tucson Studios.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the rugged Tucson Mountains, Old Tucson was built as an on-location set for some of Hollywood's famous Westerns. Rio Bravo, Gunfight at the OK Corral and Tombstone were all filmed here.
Stroll past the Old West style buildings, take a miniature train ride around the grounds, watch an old time musical review in the saloon and see a classic Old West gunfight. Old Tucson is a touristy stop but kids especially enjoy it.
From here, head back to Kinney Road and follow the signs back into town and back into the modern world.

This is a bit general, but is there a name to this type of problem? It looks like a directed graph traversal problem, but you have multiple paths going on, and timing may be important.
You operate a public library system with multiple branches. Every day, people check out and return materials. Library users can return materials at any branch. Additionally, library users can place a hold on an item and ask to pick it up at any branch. Essentially, on any given day you have items that need to be delivered between library branches.
You have hired a set number of drivers to move materials between locations. Assume that the transit time between branches is known and time-invariant, the carrying capacity of the vehicles is unlimited, drivers are on for a set amount of time each day, and the drivers can start and end at any library branch. Given a list of what must be moved, is there an optimal set of delivery routes that minimizes driving time?

One big thing about the WWE Network is that the originally edited pay-per-view events are now offered in their unedited states thanks to the parental guidance controls built in. According to PWInsider.com on March 21, a number of pay-per-views have disappeared from the WWE Network and reappeared later, and that is because the un-edited versions are being put up.
For some reason, the WWE originally threw up all their WWE, WCW and ECW pay-per-view events in the original edited versions, with cursing edited out. The new versions that have started replacing those are the actual original audio tracks with the edits removed.
This is great news for people who wanted to see the original versions of the pay-per-view events the way they originally were meant to be seen before the PG television rating cleaned things up.
This seems to not be the only change, though, in the replaced pay-per-view shows.
There has been an ongoing lawsuit between James Papa, who wrote a performed a number of WCW entrance themes. As a result of the lawsuit, the music that he wrote and performed was removed and replaced with generic or more current tracks for the wrestlers.
Apparently, the pay-per-views that have been replaced have the original James Papa songs added back in, which includes Freebird Michael Hayes "Bad Street U.S.A." This makes it look like an agreement might have been reached between the two sides or someone forgot to keep the changes to music when making the changes back to the unedited audio.

· 2011-12 Schedule/Results
· 2011-12 Statistics
· Head Coach Kathi Bennett
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women's basketball team's usual tough defense was not at the top of its game as Eastern Michigan shot 44.8 percent from the field to earn a 77-57 win on Saturday afternoon in a Mid-American Conference West Division game at the NIU Convocation Center.
Both teams entered the game on winning streaks -- EMU had won six in a row, NIU three in a row -- but it was the Eagles (19-7, 11-2 MAC) who kept theirs alive as they picked up their seventh straight win over NIU (12-13, 6-7 MAC).
"We battled a lot of adversity today," said NIU Associate Head Coach Marsha Frese, who filled in as acting head coach for an under-the-weather Kathi Bennett. "We knew it was going to be a challenge. I felt like our kids battled. Eastern is a very good team and we were prepared for the things they threw at us. We just need to do a better job of minimizing turnovers."
The Eagles entered the game averaging 70.8 points per game and shooting 41.3 percent from the field. Against an NIU defense that entered the game allowing 58.2 points per game and a 37 percent opponent field goal percentage, EMU's offense managed to operate above its average game to become just the sixth team all season to score in the 70s versus NIU and the seventh to shoot above 40 percent.
The Eagles did most of their damage as a result of NIU's 20 turnovers. While EMU took care of the ball with 12 turnovers, NIU's miscues allowed the Eagles to get out and run in transition for a 14-0 edge in fast break points. Overall, the NIU turnovers led to a 23-10 advantage in points off turnovers for the Eagles.
The main player the Huskies struggled to contain was the nation's second leading scorer Tavelyn James. The senior entered the game averaging 24.6 points per game and scored 29 points, which is the third highest total NIU has surrendered to a player this season.
"Tavelyn James is going to get her shots," said Frese. "We tried to cover her and did a better job in the second half of making her more uncomfortable. Satavia Taylor's length worked well on her. In hindsight, I think we should have given Satavia more time on her earlier in the game."
Consequently, the lack of rhythm to the Huskie offense led to a 34.8 shooting percentage. Nearly half of NIU's points came from senior Kim Davis (Evanston, Ill./Evanston), who went off against her former teammates for a career-high 26 points. 14 of the points came from a near-flawless and career-best effort from the free throw line as she missed only one attempt. Davis' scoring performance was the most any Huskie has scored this season and the most since Marke Freeman's 26 versus Bowling Green on February 1, 2011.
With NIU up 16-15 at the 11:39 mark of the first half, EMU went on a quick 7-0 run over the next 2:40 that would spark a 27-12 run to finish the half.
The Huskies bounced back to start the second half with a Davis layup and Jenna Thorp (Hinckley, Ill./Hinckley-Big Rock) floater, forcing an EMU timeout just 55 seconds into the half. But the Eagles responded in a huge way with a 12-0 run to take a commanding 54-32 lead with 14:23 left.
From there, NIU would get no closer than 17 the rest of the way.
With six wins in their last nine games, the Huskies still are in fifth place overall in the MAC standings as a result of Akron's loss today to Bowling Green. Over the final three games of the regular season, NIU still has a good chance to lock up one of the No. 5-8 seeds to guarantee a first round MAC Tournament home game. Due to Miami's (Ohio) win over Buffalo today, the Huskies are now three games behind the RedHawks for a possible chance at the No. 4 seed, which would guarantee a bye into the MAC quarterfinals.
The Huskies embark upon a mini, two-game road trip starting with a 6 PM CT at Central Michigan on Wednesday, February, 22.

Night Rendezvous is a monochromatic and color photography journey through the city of Vancouver at night. Also featured are neighboring municipalities of Burnaby, Coquitlam and Richmond. Street scenes, light trails, architecture, transportation and cityscapes all play a part of this creative journey.
I was born in Portugal and have lived in Vancouver, Canada for most of my life. In 2007 on a trip to my homeland my interest for photography began, I became aware that I had a good eye for taking photographs. My journey into creative photography began when I purchased my first SLR digital camera. My photographic experience comes from reading, practicing, self taught trial and error, and some course training. My artistic style is rather eclectic; modern, realistic and sometimes slightly surrealistic. My inspiration comes from observing other artists, movies, music, and life.

In his three seasons in Carbondale, SIU head coach Justin Ingram has rejuvenated Saluki volleyball. In his first season at SIU, Ingram led the Salukis to their first 20-win season since 2002, which included a trip to the 2012 Missouri Valley Conference Championships. He followed that up in 2013 with yet another 20-win season -- the first back-to-back 20-win seasons at Southern since 1984-85 -- and SIU's first trip to the MVC title game in 11 years. In 2014, the Salukis made their third consecutive appearance at the conference tournament. This marked the first time the Salukis qualified for the conference tournament in three consecutive years since 1987-1989, which was split between head coaches Debbie Hunter in 1987-88 and Patti Hagemeyer in 1989. Ingram is the first coach in Saluki history to lead a team to the tournament for three straight years.
Ingram was named the seventh head coach in program history on Jan. 18, 2012, bringing 13 years of Division I coaching experience to Carbondale. Following his first two highly successful seasons at SIU, in May 2014 Ingram was rewarded with a three-year contract extension that runs through the 2017 season.
Most recently in 2014, SIU finished with a 16-15 overall record, 10-9 in the MVC, after the team's third consecutive appearance at the conference tournament. This marked the first time the Salukis qualified for the conference tournament in three consecutive years since 1987-1989. Ingram is the first coach in Saluki history to lead a team to the tournament for three straight years.
After a difficult start to conference play, a second-half surge swung the momentum in the Salukis' favor, helping them close out the season with crucial 3-2 victories over Northern Iowa and Missouri State to go 10-8 during regular season conference play. The Salukis finished their season at the MVC Tournament with a 3-0 loss to fourth-seeded Missouri State. SIU came away with three all-conference athletes and four scholar athletes at the conclusion of the season.
In 2013, Ingram led SIU on its furthest foray into the MVC tournament in 11 years by advancing to the title game against top-seeded Wichita State. The Shockers prevailed over the Salukis in straight sets, but the match capped off an extraordinary sophomore campaign with Ingram at the helm. The Ingram-led Salukis posted wins over five schools in the Valley that ended the season ranked in the RPI top-100 -- including three victories over 61st-ranked Northern Iowa.
It was a historic season for Southern (20-13, 13-5 MVC), as SIU's first victory over UNI on October 12 broke a 40-match slide against the Panthers that dated back to 1993. Less than one month later on November 4, the Salukis rewrote the record books yet again with their first win over Wichita State since 2001 -- a 23-match losing streak. In the tournament, SIU won its first MVC tournament game since 2002 by defeating Bradley in the first round.
Southern also earned its first MVC Freshman of the Year since 1996 (Debbie Barr) as freshman Hannah Kaminsky earned the honor in 2013. Ingram's two 2013 first-team All-MVC honorees -- Taylor Pippen and Jessica Whitehead -- gave Ingram a second-consecutive season of two first-team selections, the first time in school history at least two Salukis have been honored in consecutive seasons.
In his first season, Ingram guided the Salukis to a 21-9 overall record with a fourth-place 11-7 mark in the league. Two Salukis were named first-team All-MVC selections and one a Capital One Academic All-American.
The Salukis kicked off their banner season with a 9-0 home stand recording their longest winning streak since 1994. Southern Illinois also snapped a 19-match losing streak against Creighton on Sep. 28 and were the only Valley team to defeat the Bluejays during the 2012 season -- who went on to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16.
Under Ingram's direction, SIU finished the 2012 season ranked second in the MVC in blocks, third in assists, and fourth in hitting percentage. Senior Bailey Yeager broke the single-season digs record, recording a total of 630 digs. Sophomore setter Amy Drabant recorded 1,178 assists to rank 10th all-time in assists in a single season and senior Laura Thole recorded 1,212 attempts to rank second all-time in a single season.
Prior to SIU, Ingram spent three years as the head coach at Arkansas State, where he led the Red Wolves to an overall record of 60-33 and was named 2011 Sun Belt Coach of the Year.
Ingram led ASU to a 21-10 record and the team's third-consecutive Sun Belt West Division title during the 2011 season. His tenure in Jonesboro, Ark., saw Red Wolves players earn seven All-Conference selections, including the 2009 and 2010 Sun Belt Defensive Players of the Year.
Ingram spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Kansas State prior to ASU, serving as the Wildcats' recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator. During his time in Manhattan, Kan., K-State posted a 171-79 record, made seven NCAA Tournament appearances and posted seven 20-win seasons.
Ingram's tenure at K-State saw the Wildcats earn American Volleyball Coaches Association top-25 final rankings six different seasons, including a No. 11 final ranking in 2003 when K-State went 30-5, won a Big 12 Championship and made a Sweet 16 run.
K-State's final RPI ranked in the top-30 nationally during seven of Ingram's eight seasons with the Wildcats. He helped mentor eight All-America selections and 22 All-Big 12 selections at K-State, including four Big 12 Liberos of the Year and the 2003 Big 12 Player of the Year (Lauren Goehring).
Prior to K-State, Ingram spent two years as an assistant coach at the University of Houston. The Cougars posted a 42-24 record, tallied consecutive 20-win seasons and made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances during his time in Houston.
Houston was the Conference USA National Division champion in 1999 and the National Division runner-up in 1998 with Ingram on the staff. Ingram helped mentor six All-Conference selections at Houston, including the 1999 C-USA Player of the Year.
A native of Milwaukee, Wis., Ingram earned his bachelor's degree in Community and Regional Planning from Iowa State University in 1995 and a master's degree in City and Regional Planning from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1998.

Oil prices continue to creep higher in the United States. While this means pain at the pump for consumers, it also means a gold rush for publicly traded oil and gas companies engaged in exploration and production. A few of the independent upstream majors, including Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), and Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO), are winning big from rising oil prices, since their profits are highly sensitive to fluctuations in the price of oil.
Crude oil recently touched $102 per barrel, which should serve as a solid tailwind for each of these three companies over the next couple of quarters. And, if oil prices stay supportive throughout the year, then 2014 could shape up to be a fantastic year for Occidental Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, and Marathon Oil.
High oil prices pay big rewards
It goes without saying that high oil prices are a pain for consumers. At the same time, oil companies stand to do very well. That's particularly true for Occidental, Conoco, and Marathon, because they kept production growing strongly last year. This year, expect more of the same, as their management teams are firmly intent on capitalizing on climbing oil prices.
Occidental Petroleum grew domestic oil production by 4.3% last year to 266,000 barrels per day. The company plans to increase that even further this year, which will turn out to be a wise decision should oil prices continue to move higher. Occidental intends to grow domestic oil production another 9% in 2014, to between 280,000-295,000 barrels per day.
ConocoPhillips increased its adjusted earnings by 6% largely through higher production, specifically in the premier oil-producing fields in the United States. Its fourth-quarter U.S. production at the Eagle Ford, Bakken, and Permian Basin positions rose 31% versus the same period the year prior. Overall, Conoco increased its total production by 2% last year, excluding the effects of its divestments and its Libyan operations.
Going forward, Conoco management maintains a solid long-term growth plan. The company expects long-term production to average between 3%-5% annually over the next several years, including in 2014. This will be made possible by significant resource discovery, including a major deep-water discovery in the Gulf of Mexico late last year which should add to production in the near term.
Meanwhile, Marathon Oil is ramping up production as well. Its profits rose 11% last year, driven by 11% growth in net production, excluding its Libyan division. Like Conoco, Marathon is gearing up in the United States. It's going to expand rig counts at the Eagle Ford and Bakken fields.
Strong production in the future will also be made possible from the fact that the independent majors hold excellent track records on reserve replacement. This is a financial measure that states how much an oil and gas company generates in reserves compared to how much of its previous reserves were produced and sold. Occidental added 156% of reserves last year from its development program. Conoco's reserves replacement ratio stood at 179% last year. Marathon did even better, with a 194% reserves replacement.
No pit stops on the road to growth
A key advantage the independent upstream focused companies are enjoying right now is that they're exclusive exploration and production majors. The integrated giants are being weighed down by evaporating margins on refined products. By contrast, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, and Marathon Oil are seeing no such impacts from shrinking refining profitability. They're each performing very well, as their production of oil and gas continues to provide a boost.
Crude oil recently neared $102 per barrel in the United States. After rallying to begin 2014, this bodes well for the independent exploration and production majors like Occidental, Conoco, and Marathon. It's true that high oil prices are painful for consumers at the pump. While there's little that can be done to combat rising gas prices, one way to exact revenge would be to buy stocks in energy companies that benefit from high oil prices. These three oil giants certainly fit the bill, and buying them would be a great way for Fools to fight rising oil prices.
Higher oil prices would benefit OPEC, but this company could hurt it
Imagine a company that rents a very specific and valuable piece of machinery for $41,000… per hour (that's almost as much as the average American makes in a year!). And Warren Buffett is so confident in this company's can't-live-without-it business model, he just loaded up on 8.8 million shares. An exclusive, brand-new Motley Fool report reveals the company we're calling OPEC's Worst Nightmare. Just click HERE to uncover the name of this industry-leading stock… and join Buffett in his quest for a veritable LANDSLIDE of profits!

I know that A lot of folks will be out on the grill working hard this weekend. Here are a few things that you will need to make your grilling experience the best that it can be. Follow these steps and your family will be raving over your holiday grilling skills for years to come.
If you want to get the best flavor when grilling charcoal is the way to go! Get your charcoals in the grill, get a fire going and you're ready to go. Hardwood charcoal usually gives off the best flavor. Briquets that contain lighter fluid will change the flavor of your meat. You should also throw some newspaper in the mix to help get your flames started. Overall, I think charcoal grills give create better tasting food with a great smell.
If you do decide to go with a gas grill, make sure that you have ample propane in your tank. Most propane grills will let you cook more food at a faster pace, and is also more convenient. You can control your temperature with the turn of a dial on a gas gril, and you can still use wood to get that smoky flavor.
Don't Forget About Your Accessories:
If you're going to be a grill master you need the right tools and accessories. Having the right tools can separate the men from the boys when standing in front of the grill. It will also make your grilling easier. Make sure you have a pair of quality tongs so you can grab everything on the grill including smaller pieces of meat and vegetables. Also, a spatula is going to be needed to flip your meat. Use a large stainless steel fork to turn over the food that may be a little more difficult. Use a digital thermometer to make sure that your meats are reaching the proper external temperatures. Keep a grill brush handy to make sure that you get all of the extra food and "guck"off of your grill. Grill wipes will come in handy too. After you have brushed everything off of the grill you can use the wipes to help with the clean up process.
Here are a few grilling recipes that you can try if you want to spice up your family barbecue this weekend. Try something different besides the standard burgers and hotdogs.

Absent from the New England Patriots practice on Wednesday was quarterback Tom Brady, but there is no worry. According to the Boston Herald on Jan. 15, Brady missed the first workout of AFC Championship week with an illness.
The illness also caused Brady to cancel his normal Wednesday news conference, but the star quarterback is expected to be ready for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Bill Belichick didn't have much to offer on the news. As usual, the Patriots coach kept it simple when asked about Brady's absence.
"We'll talk about it when the (injury report) comes out," said Belichick.
Brady did admit to having a cold during his preparation before the divisional round playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. Wednesday's absence was primarily for rest as there will be nothing that will keep Brady from taking the field against his rival Peyton Manning.
On a more positive note for the team, wide receiver Aaron Dobson did return to practice, which indicates that he will be available on Sunday. His presence will definitely make Brady feel a bit better.

After changing, grab your tube, life vest and caving light, and walk a leisurely jungle trail through two dry cave systems and under beautiful primary broad leaf rainforest to the entrance of the cave system and the most popular tour in Belize, cool and comfortable floating through gorgeous stalactite and stalagmite filled caverns where the ancient Maya people once practiced the important rite of traveling through the underworld, ruled by the nine dark lords of their cosmological religion.
Your guides will take you safely through the system, and then, at the end of the caves, enjoy a beautiful outdoor float under the canopy of the rainforest, with some sunshine coming down through the canopy of the forest. At the end (this is actually a circuit; you float back to where you started hiking!), enjoy a fabulous BBQ lunch, and then back to your original start point.

"Under The Dome" is set to return for an exciting season 2 in a little over two weeks and fans can't wait to see what will happen. According to Stephen King, season 2 was never even supposed to happen so there should be plenty of surprises even for those who read the book. Right at the end of season 1, Barbie (Mike Vogel) was taken to town square and was about to be executed in front of everyone. The IB Times reported some "Under The Dome" spoilers including Barbie's fate on Friday.
There are spoilers ahead so stop reading now if you don't want to know what happens. "Under The Dome" season 2 will premiere it's first episode "Heads Will Roll" on CBS on Monday, June 30. This first episode was written by Stephen King and will tell of the changes to the dome since the hit television show left at the end of last summer.
At the end of season 1, Barbie was taken to town square and Big Jim Rennie (Dean Norris) was about to have him hanged for all to see. When the finale ended, no one knew if Barbie would live or die. Now we know that Barbie does not die and will actually live on to play another season. That doesn't mean things are great for him but it's a good thing one of the favorite "Under The Dome" characters does not meet his end before season 2 even starts.
There are rumblings that two characters will die during the premiere episode on June 30. One of these characters will be a fan favorite and will die right away in the first episode. It is unclear exactly who they are but it is not Barbie and cannot be Julia (Rachelle Lafevre.) The two will have a tumultuous relationship which truly gets tested during episode three. Also, Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz) and Joe (Colin Ford) also play a huge part of episode three. Our guess is that one of the two dead in the first episode will be Sheriff Linda Esquivel (Natalie Martinez) but that is just speculation.
Other information revealed about the show included news that the dome somehow became magnetized. This means cars, appliances and everything magnetic has the ability to fly off and stick to the side of the dome. That could be dangerous and incredibly inconveniencing since there will be no more transportation.
Considering that Stephen King never anticipated a second season of "Under The Dome" and that the script had to be completely created from scratch, anything goes on the show and anyone can die at any time. Who do you think will die and who will survive when "Under The Dome" returns to CBS? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

A freelancer and darkroom technician in the late seventies, I didn't start out taking pictures of homesteads. I worked at a local college as an events photographer and at a portrait studio in the town where I grew up. My interest was in wildlife photography then, but after marrying my husband, we moved to the country about five miles from the historic Santa Fe Trail. The vast and sweeping grasslands of Kansas became my canvas and a Leica M6 camera, my brush. The sage, wild native grasses, and tumbleweeds provide a warm and nostalgic quality that I prefer in my work.

About the Author
Kaffe Fassett (born 1937) spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, Fassett studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, then made his home in England. A trip to Inverness, Scotland, inspired Fassett to begin designing knitwear, and his clients have included Lauren Bacall, Bill Gibb, the Missonis, Barbra Streisand, and Vogue magazine. Further explorations led Fassett to needlepoint, mosaics, rug making, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his 70s, Fassett continues to produce vibrant new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture.

Jane's Addiction: How Excessive Consumption Threatens Global Survival

Learning About America through the Stuff We Give Away

Michael Kors Hamilton Tote
If you're not willing to shell out for a big-time bag, this casual tote from Michael Kors might make you smile. Printed with a trompe l'oeil print, this cotton-canvas tote is only pretending to be fancy, and is completely charming because of it. Perfect for carrying books, running errands and shopping, and schlepping in style.
$80 at Net-a-Porter | Buy
Kate Spade New York Stripe Nylon Tenley Crossbody Bag
Village Parker Medium Hobo Bag
Although hobo's are typically a slouchy bag, this one from Cole Haan manages to keep its form and still look polished. Luxe pebbled leather is showcased in navy- a great alternative to black. The Village Parker is the perfect size for all of your gear and strikes a suitably sophisticated (and stylish) note.
Dipped Dots Tote
This leather bag is a breath of spring-inspired freshness. Miss Albright's carryall comes in a spotty and soft paisley print. Your bag doesn't need to be bright and bold to garner jealous attention. This patterned tote will turn plenty of heads.
$228 at Anthropologie | Buy
Disco City Cross Body Bag
How could you not feel happy slipping on a gold leather bag? You're practically carrying a Grammy. This smallish tote folds over and can be carried by handles or worn crossbody. And, hello, it's gold, so the Disco City should certainly live up to its name. Go show this bag a good time.
$198 at Foley + Corinna | Buy
Porter Tote
All of the features of this roomy and rich-looking tote make it drool-worthy: Pockets aplenty (seven!), a detachable shoulder strap and gold-tone grommets just to name a few. What we're really lusting after is the gorgeous green grass color of the leather. You'll be carrying a little bit of (luxurious) springtime with you regardless of the weather.
$468 at Hayden-Harnett | Buy
Operation Smile Clutch
You get good karma points for picking up a bag that benefits Operation Smile, but that is just a bonus considering how chic this metal clutch is. It comes with a hefty price tag for a little bag, but this swirl-patterned clutch is timeless, and did we mention the good karma points?
Ships Large Zippered Tote
Ship to shore, this large tote has got it all together. Brown leather straps and antique brass hardware add to the nautical vibe without being too ahoy there, matey. The black and cream print featuring waves and ships is what really makes this bag a beacon of style.
$68 at Jenna Rose Handmade | Buy

The season is over. Here is a rundown of how I voted in our final examiner.com football poll. This just wasn't a year where there were clear-cut teams that should be ranked. We had teams like Duke, Central Florida and Marshall that won at least nine games in football.
Several other teams that could have been ranked simply just didn't perform in the bowl games. So if a team came into its bowl game ranked around 15-25 and got blown out in their game, I likely removed them completely for some other team who showed up to win.
The SEC streak over eight straight national championships is over. Michigan State lost just once this year so I felt like the Spartans deserved that No. 2 spot over Auburn. The Tigers were clearly talented but I can't get over the two losses and the two wins that shouldn't have been.
1. Florida State
2. Michigan State
3. Auburn
4. South Carolina
5. Missouri
6. Oklahoma
7. Clemson
8. Alabama
9. Ohio State
10. Stanford
12. Oregon
14. Louisville
15. Oklahoma State
16. Baylor
18. Texas A&M
19. Duke
20. Notre Dame
21. Wisconsin
22. Marshall
23. Washington
24. Iowa
25. Navy


text: We used the Wise Installation Wizard to create our own local install of WinVNC. We don't give our users access to the WinVNC folder on the start menu, so we removed it from the wizard before we created the EXE. We then have them run a batch file which imports our password into their registry and automatically starts the VNC service on their PC. Works quite well so far.

AppointmentsConsultations are by appointment only and while every effort is made to accommodate urgent consultations there may be occasions when we will be unable to see you on the day of your call.....
Diagnostic Services We offer blood tests at the surgery. If your doctor has requested a blood test at your consultation ask at reception if you would like to have the test performed at the surgery. In most circumstances our nurses will meet your request
Enrole with us - information enrolement will decrease your medical fees. Ask reception regarding the benefits of enrolling you and your family with Marsden Medical. Our PHO is now Auckland PHO. This organisation distributes any public money directed to primary healthcare according to Ministry of Health directives the health needs of the enrolled population of the member practices. For further information see www.aucklandpho.co.nz
With the exception of certain gender specific conditions, male morbidity and mortality health statistics are higher than those of women. Despite this men still have remarkably lower attendance rates at their own doctor's surgeries than women. At Marsden Medical we offer a full and comprehensive preventative health check...
Our practitioners and nurses run a recall service for routine preventative health checks but there are a number of reasons for a consultation to consider your own health risk profile and discuss this with your doctor....
When you are planning a trip overseas you need good advice on health and safety wherever you go. To ensure your holiday or move overseas is not plagued by illness and disease you need specialist advice from health professionals. Marsden Medical offers up to date information on immunisations, health precautions and latest world trends ........
Marsden Medical is pleased to announce that we will continue as a Family Medicine Training programme practice. Registrars are placed with our practice on six month rotations to gain further experience in Family Medicine. The registrars are qualified doctors with a minimum of three years post graduate experience. All have worked in hospital positions before choosing advancing their knowledge in Family Medicine. So if you see a new face at the surgery you can be assured of thorough medical assessment and a cheerful and thoughtful style of practice.
Marsden Medical Practice
Marsden Medical Practice is a traditional general and family medical practice situated on the corner of Marsden Avenue and Mt Eden Road in Mt Eden Auckland. There is ample street parking both on Marsden Avenue and directly in front of the main entrance on Mt Eden Rd. We are New Zealand trained health professionals with three doctors and two registered nurses committed to traditional general practice. Marsden Medical Practice now comprises ten staff. We are all dedicated to the traditional values of comprehensive personal medical care and will strive to meet your medical need whenever and wherever that need arises.
History The first practitioner began practicing from the house on the corner of Marsden Avenue and Mt Eden Rd shortly after the end of World War two. During the 1950s Dr Clifford James returning from Missionary Medical services in the Solomon Islands set up practice in the house at 785 Mt Eden Rd and subsequently in the cottage behind the house in Marsden Avenue. In the 1960s the surgery was run by Dr Doug Colonna and subsequently Dr Philip Galloway. Dr Lello purchased the practice in 1994 when Dr Galloway retired from General Practice. General Practice in New Zealand has undergone some major changes in the last decade. With increasing costs and decreasing health subsidy in primary care there has been a tendency for practitioners to form larger practices for the economies of scale. There has been a greater use of independent nursing within Family practice teams and, like in all professions, a greater reliance on information technology.
Registration with your family doctor. Members of your family may not have had any reason to visit the surgery and it may well be that the surgery doesn't have information about you. Access to publically funded health services is now dependent on registration with a General Practitioner affiliated with a Public Health Organisation (PHO).Read more....

I want to setup LTSP with 12.04, but I have a problem with some clients. When I try to boot them, fail with a reference to cmov and cx8 support in the CPU.
After some investigation, I discover that Ubuntu dropped support on non i686 CPU since 10.10.
So I'm needing a ltsp client 10.04 or older. When I issue the command:
ltsp-build-client --dist lucid --arch i386
it fails when start processing "/var/cache/apt/archives/ltsp-client-core_5.2.1-0ubuntu9_i386.deb"
If I try to process this package alone inside the chroot it gives more info, something like "ltsp-client cannot be installed in a regular machine" ...
It seems to me a bug in ltsp-build-client process of building the client ...
Anyone with the same problem?
Any help?
Thank you all!

"This fascinating personal account offers a remarkable picture of the late-20th century, seen through sensitive eyes and interpreted by a compassionate, searching soul." Noam Chomsky
"Stuart Christie's granny might well disagree, given the chance, but her qualities of honesty and self-respect in a hard life were part of his development from flash Glaswegian teenager — the haircut at 15 is terrific — to the 18-year old who sets off to Spain at the end of the book as part of a plan to assassinate the Spanish dictator Franco. In the meanwhile we get a vivid picture of 1950s and early 1960s Glasgow, its cinemas, coffee bars and dance halls as well as the politics of the city, a politics informed by a whole tradition of Scottish radicalism. Not just Glasgow, because Stuart was all over Scotland living with different parts of his family, and in these chapters of the book there is a lyrical tone to the writing amplified by a sense of history of each different place. When we reach the 1960s we get a flavour of that explosion of working class creativity and talent that marked the time, as well as the real fear of nuclear war and the bold tactics used against nuclear weapons bases. It is through this period of cultural shake-up that Stuart clambers through the obstructive wreckage of labour and Bolshevik politics, and finds a still extant politics of libertarian communism that better fitted the mood of those times. Now, in 2002,it is Stuart who finds himself quoted in an Earth First pamphlet as the new generation of activists for Global Justice by-pass the dead hand of Trotskyist parties and renew the libertarian tradition."

You know you like to wear that black/white contrast - but did you know that your nails do, too? A collaboration between Melody Ehsani and NCLA, the It Don't Matter Nail Wraps kit ($16) includes two sheets of twenty-two wraps with stellar, two-toned designs.
This nail polish is awesome! I love the two-tone design. Using the sheets of nail polish is also much more convenient than regular nail polish. I always have to do multiple coats of nail polish to get my nails looking perfect. These sheets don't need time to dry or anything. It would definitely save some time drying my nails and would save me from not being able to touch anything for fear of messing up a nail!

So for the last three years that I have been writing action figure articles for Examiner, I have not been able to give all of my readers a definitive source for their collecting needs. Sure, I have told you about new figures that have come out or are coming out soon and where you can get them. But for the more serious collector, where do I direct you in order for you to find what you are looking for?
Well, I believe that the wait is finally over! I am very pleased to announce that I have partnered with a new website called The Collectionary. This is the website of websites for collectors! They offer anything that you may want for any collection you may have. This is not strictly a site for action figures. You can find anything there! The reason that I have chosen to take part in this partnership is for the action figure portion of their site. It is unbelievable! You can find any figure you are looking for from almost every decade or genre.
One of the most interesting aspects of this site that sets it apart from the rest is they provide you with information about the item that you are looking for. They don't merely show you the figure and then tell you how much it is. They give you as much information as they can, then they tell you where you can find it, and at what price. That is what you call making an informed decision. I suggest taking some time to check out this new site and seeing what they have to offer. You will not be disappointed! Also, check out their Facebook page for even more content and information. I will continue to keep you updated on everything action figure related right here at Examiner's great site and I hope to make great use of The Collectionary and their amazing website. Remember, as always, they are not dolls........they are ACTION FIGURES!!
