The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics Electric Boat a $17.5 million contract modification to perform reactor-plant planning yard services for nuclear submarines and support yard services for moored training ships.
The contract being modified was initially awarded in November 2011 and has a potential cumulative value of $121.2 million through 2016 if all options are exercised and funded. Most of the work will be performed in Groton, with the remainder taking place in Charleston, S.C., where the moored training ships are based.
This work will engage Electric Boat's engineering and design organization, which comprises more than 4,000 employees. Possessing proven technical capabilities, these employees work on all facets of the submarine life cycle from concept formulation and design through construction, maintenance and modernization, and eventually to inactivation and disposal.

Sarkozy party rejects idea of Strauss-Kahn conspiracy
Paris: French President Nicolas Sarkozy`s
party rejected on Sunday as "grotesque" suggestions that Dominique
Strauss-Kahn was the victim of a plot to ruin his presidential
"This story is ridiculous ... this plot argument is
grotesque," said UMP party leader Jean-Francois Cope, while
Interior Minister Claude Gueant dismissed the allegations as
"pure fantasy."
The remarks came after an article in the New York Review
of Books that included hints by associates of the disgraced
ex-International Monetary Fund chief that his arrest on sexual
assault charges in New York on May 14 might have been a
Strauss-Kahn, then tipped to beat Sarkozy in France`s 2012
presidential elections, was taken off a plane to Paris that
afternoon after maid Nafissatou Diallo said he had attacked
her in a posh Manhattan hotel.
Strauss-Kahn resigned as head of the IMF as a result of
the scandal.
The charges were dropped after prosecutors said Diallo
lied about details of her allegations, but they and subsequent
claims of sexual misconduct in France were enough to end
Strauss-Kahn`s political ambitions.
The New York Review of Books article by investigative
journalist Edward Epstein quotes sources saying that
Strauss-Kahn suspected a smartphone that disappeared just
before his arrest had been hacked.
It also describes camera footage showing an employee of
the Sofitel hotel where the sexual encounter was alleged to
have taken place in Strauss-Kahn`s room, high-fiving a
colleague and appearing to perform a celebratory dance after
listening to Diallo`s testimony.
The article has rekindled speculation that began shortly
after his arrest about a plot to undermine the Socialist
politician, whose wife Anne Sinclair is a multi-millionaire
art heiress and celebrity journalist.
But Interior Minister Gueant said today: "I would say that
it`s pure fantasy."
"I read Epstein`s article. What does it say? That DSK
(Strauss-Kahn) lost his phone. It`s not because one loses
one`s phone that there is a setup," he told French television.
UMP leader Cope said that "we will not fall into this trap
of pursuing this story which has nothing to do with politics,"
adding conspiracy theories were always abundant in the run-up
to elections.
Cope said yesterday that "to imagine that what happened to
Strauss-Kahn was the object of some sort of collusion by the
UMP is stretching things a lot."

Why Make Disciples?
As we discussed earlier in the week, Jesus used some of His last words on earth to charge us in making disciples in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). Why is making disciples so important to Him? Why did He use some of His last words to commission His followers to do that very thing?
The Joy of His Love
The why of making disciples always starts with Jesus. God is for us. He wants us to be in a relationship with Him, and Jesus came to earth to restore this relationship. Despite our sin, brokenness, and failures, Jesus came to redeem us. He came to give us life, purpose, grace, mercy, love, hope, and a future. His love for us is great! John 3:16–17 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." God sent Jesus so that none would perish but rather have eternal life. When we experience His love, it moves us in profound ways. All of sudden we want to follow Him, not because we have to but because we want to be near Him at all times. The joy of His love moves and changes us. As disciples of Christ, our desire should also be that none should perish. As Jesus modeled, we should not condemn others but help bring them to a saving knowledge of Christ.
The Joy of Making Disciples
Because God's love has moved us, we not only want to follow Him but now we also want to join Him in making disciples. Because God desires that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9), our desire is the same. Making disciples is not a burden, but rather a joy—because we get to share God's love that has profoundly and deeply moved us. Jesus gave His life for us so that we can give our lives—time, talents, resources, love, and care —to others. What a privilege! What a joy! When Jesus was asked what is the greatest commandment of the law, He responded with two things: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:36–40). When we love God, we are His disciples. When we love others, we make disciples for Jesus. In John 13:34–35, Jesus said, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." We are to love as Christ has loved us. If we do this, people will know that we are His disciples. Through this love we have for one another, others will want to know the source of this love, which is Jesus. Great joy is found in deep relationships with others. And through these relationships, disciples are made.

Conventional wisdom holds that marginal students may pay more of a price for web surfing during class than top students, who are presumed to be better multitaskers. But a study at Michigan State University challenges that belief. The study tracked 500 students in an introductory psychology course, using ACT scores to measure intellectual ability. And top students as well as others saw their performance lag if they were heavy internet users in class (for non-class reasons).
Some will immediately say this is nothing more than a semantics debate. No different than if we were discussing the contrasting meanings of, say, "soda" and "pop."
When we use the word "pedagogy" as a catchall for all teaching methods, of course, no one is talking about little children, but we rarely stop and specifically consider what this word means and its relationship with other words.
Pedagogy: the methods and practice of teaching children.
Andragogy: the methods and practice of teaching adults.
So the question becomes: at what point is a student no longer a child, but an adult? There is no hard-and-fast rule, but for our purposes here, any college student is an adult.
Andragogy, a concept dating to the 1960s and Malcolm Knowles, is important because it recognizes that adult learners are different and that these differences are extremely important. And its importance, as a body of knowledge and approach in and of itself, is profound and vastly under-recognized.
Andragogy -- adult learning theory -- stresses that adults:
Going back to the question of when students become adults, in some ways it does not matter per se. All learners learn best when many of the core elements of andragogy are followed. All students — whether 5, 15 or 55 — deserve respect, need room for their prior experiences, and need lessons to be relevant. That said, the idea of andragogy exists on a sliding spectrum of sorts. Whether a student is 18 or 85, he/she will enter the classroom with experience, for example, but this experience will vary based on age, interests, background, etc.
This is also where some understanding of basic human growth and development theories (e.g., Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Piaget's stages of cognitive development) can help professors build classrooms that are comfortable across the board. Students in their 30s will tend to have very different biologically driven needs, hopes, and fears than students in their 60s.
When students are not allowed opportunities for their feelings, especially about particularly sensitive topics or topics to which they have been vastly miseducated or undereducated, learning stops. (Please see my comments about the trigger warning or objectionable material warning and student feelings here.) Additionally, we know that for learners of any age it is very hard, even physiologically impossible without extreme dedication, to "unlearn" what have been "core truths," whether the topic is basic physics or the causes of the Civil War.
This said, pedagogy is still important because children do learn differently and have different needs. Most notably, children need some more guidance. Likewise, children — depending on their age and experience (back to the sliding spectrum) — are physiologically not always capable of performing advanced math or demonstrating critical thinking. This is not at all to sanction the "banking method" — where teachers only lecture, metaphorically dumping information into students' brains and then students regurgitate that information verbatim on assessments — of education that has sometimes been all too common: Active learning and student-centered learning is always best.
One note on learning styles, too: adults do tend to think they have a learning style — visual, kinesthetic, auditory — that enables them to learn more effectively. While I have read much more about andragogy than learning styles, there is some research that suggests learning styles are actually a myth. They have relevance because we give them relevance, but actually it is roughly equally possible for learning to happen visually or kinesthetically, for example, and furthermore, that ALL learners learn best when all learning styles are used. Going back to Bloom's Taxonomy: learning that involves interactive thinking, hearing, reading, writing, touching, and creating results in the most effective learning, and naturally, much of this will requires independent learning and initiative by an adult student.
Even if we recognize that adults learn differently from children, by using the umbrella term "pedagogy" for both, we unconsciously tend to view adult learners as "children" who need to be taught by the "expert," and we miss an entire body of knowledge and research about effectively teaching. I know some professors do not like the idea of being taught how to teach — they say it sounds too much like the training required to teach K-12. I too was somewhat like this when I first started teaching college in 2007.
But, as professors in the classroom, our ultimate goal should be for our adult students to learn, and for learning to occur, we should always be aware of how to teach effectively and stay reasonably up-to-date on findings as they develop.

A panel the Aspen Institute convened on Internet learning released its recommendations Tuesday. The group, which included Jeb Bush, the former Republican governor of Florida, considered ways to ensure that online learning is both innovative and safe, for students of all income levels. The final report calls a focus on all the ways students learn, including from museums, libraries, after-school programs and at home. It also pushes for students to be at the center of new learning networks, and for learners to have the digital literacy to be able to both use online media and to safeguard themselves.
In order for colleges to function as inclusive communities of responsible and respected members, all of their adults must be treated as adults. Yet, many of my faculty colleagues habitually call their undergraduates "kids" by default. They should stop. In addition to usually being false, it is demeaning and it tacitly encourages the immature behaviors we all bemoan.
When undergraduates begin college they immediately receive warnings that high school is over and that they will now be held to adult standards of conduct. Meanwhile, hallways are filled with faculty and students talking about which of their classes have especially "good kids," "quiet kids" or "lazy kids." In our speech, undergraduates are demoted back to children — they are infantilized. The resulting mixed messages would confuse anyone. Undergraduates are held to high behavioral standards ("I have zero tolerance for accidental plagiarism. A college student should know better."). At the same time, they are spoken of as children ("The kid who plagiarized in my class is asking for leniency.").
In my state and most of the U.S., we formally recognize 18-year-olds' right to make autonomous choices while also being held accountable for a full set of societal responsibilities. Eighteen-year-old men and women begin college having recently earned the right to sign contracts and take full responsibility for the consequences; those who are U.S. citizens have recently earned the right to vote and the duty to serve as jurors; most of the men have completed their mandatory registration for Selective Service in case a military draft is ever reinstated. These men and women who are undergraduates live with the adult consequences of their adult rights and responsibilities when they get tattoos, decide whether to seek mental health treatment, get married, sign up for credit cards and so on.
What about those still-developing young adult brains? In contrast to the rigid law, developmental psychology research paints a complex picture of how traits gradually develop over time, with features such as "psychosocial maturity" varying substantially from person to person within an age group. Appealing to the developmental psychology literature will not justify the decision to walk into a lecture hall filled with young adults one scarcely knows, each at variable stages of development for a wide array of psychological and behavioral traits, and say, "Quiet down, kids!"
By publicly referring to undergraduates as "kids," faculty members unwittingly invite childish behaviors. Kids ask their parents to call the instructor about a bad grade. Kids whine that they were not reminded about the homework that was due. Kids giggle when a peer shares an embarrassing personal story during class. Kids make inappropriate jokes to get a laugh from the room. These behaviors then become perceived justifications for continuing to see undergraduates as kids. The vicious cycle perpetuates the behaviors that faculty members wish to prevent. You'll have to take my word for it, but my undergraduate students do none those childish behaviors. They act like the adults they are. I contend that the key to achieving this is the radically intuitive strategy of treating them like adults.
If there is one thing I have learned from teaching controversial philosophical subjects (e.g., the ethics of health care policy) to undergraduates, it is that a good classroom environment is the product of an explicit and consistently applied ethos. On the first day of class I tell my students that I will treat everyone in the room as adults whose contributions are valued, and that I expect them to do the same. They are not allowed to use the words "kid," "idiot," "bleeding heart," or any other disparaging language to describe each other, as this is incompatible with a classroom that is inclusive of its diverse members. In a recent course evaluation from a senior seminar, a student expressed gratitude that I did not treat the class members as "inferiors." It upsets me that such a thing bears mentioning. A roughly 22-year-old man or woman was so accustomed to being treated as a child or a second-class citizen that he or she felt obliged to mention it when treated otherwise.
Thinking of and speaking of undergraduates as "kids" can manifest in class policies ill-suited for adults. Perhaps the clearest examples of this are some of the faculty responses to poor undergraduate behavior. There is undeniable appeal in some of my colleagues' approaches, such as publicly shaming students caught looking at Facebook in class or confiscating any cell phones used for texting during a lecture. However tempting it might be, this is not appropriate behavior between two adults. This is how an adult treats a kid.
If a dean did such things to faculty members during meetings then he or she would rightly be called a tyrant (and would likely have a large collection of cell phones). Strategies responding to an adult's childish behavior must work within a framework of adult-adult interaction. If students use their cell phones in class then the instructor can easily initiate a brief classwide conversation about the classroom policies and penalties, as well as the reasons for them. An instructor can also speak candidly and politely with an individual student after class ends about any violated policies.
Every adult has moments of childish behavior. It is one thing to criticize an individual adult for a specific childish behavior, but quite another thing to indiscriminately call a whole group of adults "kids." There are indeed cases where it might be appropriate to refer to an individual student as a "kid" or "child," much like it occasionally might be appropriate to refer to an individual student as a "jerk." Faculty members need to privately grumble and blow off steam just like anyone else — call it the Happy Hour Exemption. This does not make it acceptable to use "kid" (or "jerk") as one's default term for undergraduates. Even when used as a term of endearment, "kid" still devalues undergraduates as autonomous agents. It is no more appropriate than saying "good boy" to a graduate student who wrote a strong paper, or describing a junior faculty member as a "nice girl."
Whether they grew up listening to the Everly Brothers or the Jonas Brothers, adults deserve to be spoken of and treated as respected and accountable human beings. Many undergraduates are new adults, and unsurprisingly most are not yet very good at acting like adults. This does not excuse faculty members who casually refer to these men and women as "kids." In anything, the infantilizing language sends the misleading message that undergraduates are permitted to act like children. Unfortunately, the undergraduate-as-kid mindset is deeply ingrained in campus culture, making change difficult. We even have the audacity to reserve the term "adult learners" for undergraduates over the age of 25. This status quo is unacceptable. The adult men and women in our undergraduate courses deserve better.

The teaching of introductory economics at the college level remains substantively unchanged from the college classroom of the 1950s, more than 60 years ago. The teaching of other introductory courses, from psychology to biology, has changed dramatically -- with new knowledge and, more importantly, new pedagogical techniques. Today's students are also very different, not accustomed to sitting through 50-minute lectures, taking detailed notes of material and techniques, the value of which has yet to be demonstrated to them.
Thus, it is little wonder that more students do not elect introductory economics or, following the course, do not take more economics. Grades tend to be lower in introductory economics, discouraging many students from taking additional courses. The concern is paramount. In today's complicated world, the design of sound policy requires an understanding of economic principles. Yet, so many who are deciding on policy, particularly voters, as it is they who elect policymakers in democracies, are frequently ignorant of economic principles. Now many students do major in economics, but frequently for what is perceived to be enhanced employment practices in the business world. Love of the study of economics does not seem to be manifested by many students. If a school has an undergraduate business major, the number of economics majors fall precipitously. Fewer and fewer graduates of liberal arts colleges go on into economics Ph.D. programs that are increasingly populated by very able international students.
Also, our traditionally underrepresented groups are truly underrepresented as students of economics. Women, though more than a majority of today's college students, still shy from economics, as shown by a recent study done by Professor Claudia Goldin of Harvard University. African Americans and Latinos also are not well-represented in college economics classrooms. Why? Different hypotheses, each of which probably has some significance, include a particular alienation from the teaching methods, lack of role models in the classroom, difficult material and low grades combined with the additional challenge of being a minority student or a first-generation student. Also, normative issues such as poverty and discrimination are frequently marginalized, reducing the relevance of the course to many students.
Recently I chaired a meeting that had faculty members from over 60 undergraduate economics programs to discuss both Advanced Placement economics and the future of the college introductory course. There was consensus that the course seemed to be structured and taught, consistent with the first edition of Paul Samuelson's famous and dominating textbook, Economics: An Introductory Analysis in 1948 (to continue toward 20 editions!). Texts and the course seem to mirror the major theoretical components of basic microeconomics and macroeconomics. Much has been added (e.g., game theory and rational expectations) with little subtracted (maybe labor unions and Keynesian fixed price case). The result is a rather encyclopedic textbook with 30 or more chapters.
Faculty race through as much of this material as is possible. With such breadth of material, depth is frequently sacrificed. Students are more frequently memorizing and not as frequently learning. Grades tend to be among the lowest in introductory college courses and student satisfaction highly variable. Most distressingly, students are not necessarily learning to think like economists and understand the power of economics as an explanatory tool for human behavior.
Thus, there is momentum to address the deficiencies of this extraordinarily important introductory course. More faculty are aware of these problems and recognize some lack of student enthusiasm. The College Board has initiated the discussion that I mentioned with groups conveyed to look at both introductory microeconomics and introductory macroeconomics. Under the guidance of respected economist John Siegfried (of Vanderbilt University) and a blue-ribbon committee of university economists, the National Council for Economic Education has developed 20 standards for economic understanding and literacy, applicable to differing levels of education. Textbook companies are now offering customized books so that a faculty member need not present 30-plus chapters to a student, but rather can customize 10 or 20 that will form the basis of a streamlined course, one in which students can truly learn economic concepts.
With such positive momentum, will the worthy objective of a newly inspired and improved economics courses become a reality any time soon? Obstacles still exist. Tradition and lethargy can be powerful brakes on new methods and ideas. Also, a course with less breadth means the elimination of some topics. Which will they be? For some economics faculty, labor markets can be eliminated; for others, labor markets form the heart of both microeconomics, and certainly macroeconomics. Yet the payoff is potentially so high.
From my perspective, students who take introductory economics should complete the course with some understanding of 1) why income inequality exists and how to address it, 2) the means by which negative externalities like pollution should be addressed, 3) international economic exchanges can be mutually beneficial, 4) what were causes of our most recent Great Recession, 5) how to address long-term unemployment, and 6) the causes of global inequality. Such a course would be of greater interest to our students in 2014.
In a world full of excruciatingly complex and dangerous problems (from income inequality to environmental degradation), economics, as a discipline, must be a central player as orderly resolution is sought. As mentioned, students might actually study in an economics course the causes and consequence of the Great Economic Recession of 2008. Today, such a topic is often too esoteric and not part of the mainstream cannon of economics. A generation of students, from varying backgrounds and experiences, should be taught to appreciate and even admire the power and the logic of economic analysis. Parents, students, and voters, you all must help to ensure that this opportunity for important educational analysis is not lost.

Telltale fast clicks of laptop arrow keys gave away my distracted student from 30 feet off.
So engrossed was he in a 1980s role-playing game that he barely noticed when I leaned in to whisper how entirely inappropriate his behavior was during my digital humanities class at Dartmouth College. As a noted visiting technology and culture speaker held forth on participatory culture and Wikipedia — in which my students had expressed an avid interest — I was shocked as he and many others openly engaged with their Facebook pages.
Why would he play a game in a class he insisted he enjoyed? He had been playing the game before he went to bed, so when he opened his computer in class, "the game was just there, so I started playing," he explained to me during office hours. He didn't intend to check out from a class he likes.
But he did.
This incident is particularly ironic as we had discussed in the previous class the myth of multitasking and dialogued about the Stanford University professor Clifford Nass. Now, some class members can handle themselves with their technology; about a third cannot. Multitasking makes us poor learners, studies show. It not only hurts the perpetrator by splitting their focus and attention, but it hurts those sitting around the multitasker and lowers everyone's overall performance on each task. While millennials may think they have better multitasking chops than older generations, data show this assumption to be false. Unfortunately, science tells us the human brain is not meant to multitask and succeed — even if people truly believe they are good at it.
As a digital humanities professor, I spend many waking hours communicating and creating on a computer. I deeply understand the exciting possibilities offered by digital tools because I spend a great deal of time designing them: in fact, I've designed a class that minimizes lecture time to create engaging activities involving mapping, making diagrams and hosting debates on virtual experiences. I also know there's a time and place to engage with actual people. There is a rising concern among faculty members across the country on the need to investigate classroom culture regarding technology so students might actually benefit.
Clearly, the lure of the laptop is too compelling to resist.
Some people might say we should use technology for activities that "flip" the traditional lecture class. In line with this thinking, I have run hands-on activities one to two times a week with great success. During those activities, students are focused and use technology to further learning.
But most days, there will come a time where faculty or guest speakers actually speak, or dialogue happens or provocative points are raised. It is then that students with technology-control issues immediately check out and check into Facebook or online games or shoe shopping. Unless they are directly involved in a hands-on activity for which they will be accountable in public by the end of class, it is much easier to give in to the presence of technology and lose the experience of direct engagement.
Is this chronic narcissism? Or is this phenomenon a desire to escape the confines and taxing nature of concentration? Does this "checking out to check in" represent an insatiable need for immediate news in the "fear of missing out"? In 2013, an international team of researchers designed a way to measure fear of missing out and found people under age 30 were more affected, as were those who reported low levels of connectedness, competence and self-autonomy. This research supports earlier findings that the lonely and bored were more apt to rely on social media and feel left out if they miss out.
Yet students also miss out if they cannot listen and engage with the world in front of them. The presence of technology in a class may not work unless the active learning is active all of the time or, I would suggest, our culture changes such that the live, in-person exchange is more valuable than whatever the student is doing with his or her own technologies.
We need a culture change to manage our use of technology, to connect when we want to and not because we psychologically depend on it. Enough is enough. We need strategies for unplugging when appropriate to create a culture of listening and of dialogue. Otherwise, $20,000 to $60,000 a year is a hefty entrance fee to an arcade.

Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX:MMT) and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Limited (Operator of the Umusadege field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited are providing the following updates on Umusadege field production for December 2015 and other operations.December 2015 Aggregate Production UpdateUmusadege field production during December 2015 averaged approximately 16,340 bopd resulting in total production of approximately 506,550 bbls for the month. Aggregate calculated Umusadege field downtime during December 2015 was approximately five days (based upon days with production of more than 10,000 bopd being considered to have no downtime). There were shutdowns of the Trans Forcados pipeline and the NAOC export pipeline during December 2015 due to operational interruptions for pipeline repairs and general pipeline and facility maintenance, but ongoing production from the Umusadege field was managed by the ability of the field operator to alternate production between the Trans Forcados and NAOC export pipelines. There were no full down days during the month. The average field production based on producing days was approximately 19,515 bopd in December 2015.The combined net delivery of oil from the Umusadege field through the Umugini pipeline and NAOC export pipeline totaled approximately 501,780 bbls in December 2015 before estimated pipeline and export facility losses, and approximately 445,970 bbls after deduction of combined pipeline and export facility losses estimated for December 2015 by Mart.NAOC Export Pipeline UpdateTotal net crude oil deliveries into the NAOC export pipeline from the Umusadege field for December 2015 were approximately 75,560 bbls before pipeline losses. Based upon the 12-month rolling average rate of pipeline and export facility losses from December 2013 to December 2014 of 17.46%, Mart estimates NAOC export pipeline and Brass River export facility losses for December 2015 will be approximately 13,190 bbls. Accordingly, Mart estimates that the total net crude deliveries into the NAOC export pipeline from the Umusadege field for December 2015 less estimated pipeline losses will be approximately 62,370 bbls.As previously announced, total net crude oil deliveries into the NAOC export pipeline from the Umusadege field for November 2015 were approximately 177,640 bbls. Actual NAOC pipeline and export facility losses have not been allocated for November 2015 because allocation was suspended beginning in December 2014 by the Department of Petroleum Resources pending an approved loss computation formula. Mart previously estimated pipeline and export facility losses for November 2015 to be approximately 31,010 bbls, based upon the 12-month rolling average rate of pipeline and export facility losses of 17.46% between December 2013 and November 2014.The NAOC export pipeline was down for 13 days in December 2015 due maintenance and repair work done on the pipeline and operational problems.Trans Forcados and Umugini Pipeline UpdateBased upon Mart's internal production and facility data, the Company estimates that Umusadege field deliveries into the Trans Forcados export pipeline connected to the Forcados oil export terminal were approximately 426,220 bbls in December 2015. Based upon historic pipeline losses encountered by other exploration and production companies utilizing the Trans Forcados export system, Mart estimates pipeline and export facility losses of 10% of crude oil deliveries, resulting in estimated Umusadege field deliveries of approximately 383,600 bbls for December 2015 after deduction of estimated pipeline and export facility losses.The Umugini pipeline was down for six days in December 2015 due maintenance and repair work done on the pipeline.Further to its previous disclosures regarding the absence of accurate and reconcilable injection data from Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited ('SPDC'), the operator of the Trans Forcados oil export terminal system, Mart advises that the Company and its co-venturers have received unreconciled reports that include only preliminary gross oil injection volumes and estimated pipeline and export facility losses. From our initial review, it is not clear whether the reported volumes represent all producers on the system or only Mart and its co-venturers. Mart and its co-venturers have requested additional and more complete information from SPDC in order to accurately reconcile volumes and any attributed pipeline losses. However, based upon preliminary analysis of the volume and loss information provided, Mart has calculated that the average loss rate could range between 10% and 21% of gross oil injections. The Company cautions that it is currently not able to obtain confirmation of these values, and it is not able to perform a reliable reconciliation. Until more accurate and complete information and reports can be obtained from SPDC, Mart will continue to estimate such pipeline losses at a rate of 10% based upon historic pipeline losses encountered by other exploration and production companies utilizing the Trans Forcados export system.Drilling and Testing UpdateThe UMU-16 well was spudded on December 6, 2015. The well has been drilled to appraise the West Prospect potential. The well was drilled to the planned total depth of 10,597 feet on December 25, 2015, following which the zones of interest were logged and sampled and the 9 5/8 inch casing was cemented in place. The well was then drilled to 11,372 feet by January 12, 2016 using an 8 1/2 inch hole. The deep section is currently being logged and sampled, after which the deep section will be plugged back. The testing results for the UMU-16 well will be released after full interpretation of the drilling, logging, and sampling data and required approval by the Department of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria.The UMU-15 well short string completed in the XIV sand has been production tested at multiple choke settings, resulting in a final rate of 1,908 bopd on a 36/64 inch choke during a 6 hour flow test. The oil gravity was 44.2 degrees API with a gas-oil-ratio of 28 scf/bbl. The flowing tubing head pressure was 412 psig with basic sediment and water of 1.3%.The UMU-15 well long string completed in the XXa sand has been production tested at multiple choke settings, resulting in a final rate of 1,084 bopd on a 36/64 inch choke during a 6 hour flow test. The oil gravity was 47 degrees API with a gas-oil-ratio of 5,254 scf/bbl. The flowing tubing head pressure was 1,320 psig with basic sediment and water of 0%.The remaining zone in the long string (XVIIa sand) has been cleaned up, however no production testing was undertaken. This zone will be placed on commercial production after depletion of the XXa sand.

Chili, I don't know what's driving this stock down, but it's big. 713,000 shares traded yesterday and 1,333,000 traded today. Daily avg. is around 250,000. Once it breaks below $1.00 and stays there, it risks delisting. It's just not a good situation. The best scenario I can think of, is that some big fund decided to dump their shares of HIMX and did a massive sell off. Otherwise, something stinks. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I think a lot of stop losses were probably hit today... We'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.I don't own this stock, but today's action has peaked my curiosity!

....but it's a twin without a hot shoe. accessory port or control rings around the lens. For some, these would be worth the additional cost.

About Bouchon - Santa Barbara
Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace.
Santa Barbara 'Wine Country Cuisine' means we source our ingredients using an 'as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible' approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. I believe you'll taste the difference and see how well they work together.
We believe Santa Barbara is producing some of the finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Other locally produced varietals will surprise you with their quality, variety and approachability. Please ask your server for recommendations on how any of our 40+ wines by the glass match up with your selections. Bon Appètit!

Food was good, service was great. We had big expectations but were a bit disappointed with the value of our plates; prices are quite high for what you get. Nice staff and ambiance, the goat cheese and pecan tarte and the crème brûlée were excellent.

The best restaurant in Santa Barbara. If there is a better one, we have not been there. The food is off the hook (I had the pork chop...crazy good) The atmosphere is classy without being stuffy, energetic, but not loud. Our server, Dave, was outstanding. Personable, knowledgeable, and very observant of what his patrons want. We have been twice, and will return. Also, re: $ my entree was $29, the meal was so good, I considered it a bargain.

Bouchon is a gem. Outstanding food served with a smile. My wife and I were in Santa Barbara for a few days and were looking for a great meal. Someone at our hotel had recommended the restaurant and we were thrilled to be able to get a reservation. The atmosphere is ideal. Service was excellent and the food just exquisite! If you are ever in Santa Barbara, do your taste buds a favor and eat here!

My husband and I took a 10 day trip up the California Coast for our "babymoon" and this was the best meal we had. We sat outdoors on the lovely patio, and the food was fresh, locally sourced, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and suggested some wine pairings to my husband. A very special spot!

Food was good.
Washroom had no hand soap, which was even more concerning since it was also used by staff (as I found their toothbrushes in the bottom drawer when looking for more soap) and the wallpaper was peeling... washrooms are a great indicator of the general health and sanitation practices of the overall operation.

Some good. Some bad.
Started fantastic. There was a great welcome for our anniversary. We had great wines recommended from our server to compliment a wonderful 1st course.
Then it went down hill. The entrees were lacking flavor and felt uninspired. Definitely didn't feel summer seasonal. The server took the rest of the evening off. And by the time the check came, our experience had rot to the point that we were ready to leave.
Sadly fell short of expectations and reputation.
First of all, my friends had pre-ordered ...
First of all, my friends had pre-ordered a fantastic bottle of wine as a birthday gift for me and that was sitting on the table with the lovely note, so that started everything off great. I had the salad and the chicken but it is not an ordinary salad and chicken; it was superb! The chicken was moist and juicy and cooked perfectly. It was a great evening!

My wife and I have eaten at Bouchon in the past and everything was excellent.
We have not eaten there for the past 4 years due to difficulty getting reservations.
We were very disappointed - way too crowded as they have crammed in too many tables to the point it is difficult to walk between tables. Noise level uncomfortable due to overcrowding.
Felt like the waiter was rushing us in order to turn the table. The food however remained very good
If you are looking for a quiet romantic spot this is no longer the place to go
Atmosphere was great, as was the service ...
Atmosphere was great, as was the service. The problem was the food. It simply lacked flavor. My wife's cauliflower soup looked great, but it was nearly tasteless and she needed to add salt and pepper just to make it edible. I had a salad with grilled summer fruit, marcona almonds (they were delicious), burrata cheese (tasteless) and a peach vinaigrette (tasteless). My wife was so-so on her salmon entry. I ordered rack of lamb. They were beautifully cooked and could have easily erased the disappointment from the salad. But again, significantly under seasoned. The fava beans and risotto they came with were both excellent. We didn't chance dessert.

From the moment we walked in we loved this place. The evening was perfect, great server and wonderful food. My husband loved the fois gras and we both enjoyed the fish. Joaquin was especially helpful in selecting wine. Just wish this was closer to where we live.
Two couples (both of whom have travel ex ...
Two couples (both of whom have travel extensively in this country Europe and elsewhere) get-together for several days of gourmet dining in Santa Barbara. This was our third dinner and by far the best. Everyone loved their choices and would gladly have gone back a second night as there were other menu choices each of us would have liked to try. Many of the menu items were somewhat unusual. The wine list, while overly oriented towards the local areas wines and overly young, included many choices within these limitations at good prices. Service was prompt and attentive. We were very happy.
Our second visit to Bouchon was equally ...
Our second visit to Bouchon was equally as outstanding as our first.
What we ordered: Crab Cakes - heavy on the crab, good crunch on the outside, lovely sauce
Organic Mixed Greens Salad - delicious salad - you rarely see Burrata in a salad and the Marcona Almonds added a great flavor
Rack of Lamb - cooked to perfection, yum!
Herbes de Provence crusted Ahi - I loved this dish. There were so many great flavors on one plate - sweet (sauce) - savory, (the ahi), salty (Olives), tart - (tomatoes) - simply delicious!
Expensive but so worth it - the service is great, the decor charming and the experience was just excellent overall.

Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Was there with my girlfriend for a special occasion dinner and were well taken care of. Sommelier went beyond to give us info and hints about visiting the wine country. Good was delicious, we had the scallop trio and sweet foie gras. Outside seating is very romantic. Would definitely return when back in town. Thanks to the team.

Gave it just the 4 stars for 'overall' experience as the atmosphere is a bit outdated and rustic. However, the food was incredible and service was spot on. I would recommend and definitely return when I'm in the area.

Want to feel special? Enjoy superb cuisine and wine? Think Bouchon! Bouchon est magnifique! We enjoyed a special dinner for our 57th anniversary and were attended to with the utmost professionalism and caring. We have been here before and return regularly for those "special occasions" when we desire cuisine with class. Our waiter, Joaquin, was absolutely the best! His sensitivity to our wine desire provided us an excellent choice. His recommendations of menu choices and attention to us throughout the entire meal was superb! Throughout the evening, as he always does for his patrons, the proprietor showed us his special courtesy and attention making certain we were completely satisfied.

The food and staff at Bouchon were great. Me and my wife went there for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were treated to a wonderful evening. The staff and management went out of their way to congratulate us on our special occasion, and the food was beautifully prepared and delicious.
My wife and I came to Bouchon for our we ...
My wife and I came to Bouchon for our wedding anniversary. We wanted very much to like the place, and it was good. But for the price and after reading so many very favorable reviews, we thought it should have been better.
The table itself was very nicely decorated with fresh rose petals, and we received a personalized card of congratulations. The presentation of the dishes was very good, in the case of the scallops even beautiful.
But the food itself was, at best, just a little better than average. We shared the scallops, very delicious in themselves, but prepared with sauces and greens that did little to enhance them. I ate the "savory" foie gras, and it was sorely disappointing, with not much more flavor than is offered by the oil in which it was allegedly seared. We also had the duck breast, which was recommended by the waiter as one of the signature dishes, and it, too, was not above average, the skin not crispy, the flesh not especially succulent.
The service was good but, again, not excellent. I was unpleasantly surprised to see the wine served in smallish and ill-shaped glasses, especially as Bouchon is famed for its wine list. Our waiter was eager to please, but his knowledge of the food and wine contributed little to our pleasure.
I should say that my wife and I have enjoyed meals in some of the best restaurants in San Francisco, including Chez Panisse, Fleur de Lys, and Boulevard, so maybe our standards are inappropriate.
Bouchon consistently delivers fine dinin ...
Bouchon consistently delivers fine dining and great service. They are constantly mixing up their menu with new selections and ideas, and even regular selections like the scallop trio undergo changes to explore and enjoy. (That trio makes an excellent entree, by the way.) Management and staff always bend over backwards to ensure an enjoyable experience. Highly-recommended.

Hey Criss,
I got your letter about your ideas for the meeting. First of all, you keep asking "too much?" and the answer is "never!!!" You can never do anything "too much," that's ridiculous. Second of all, I really dig your idea for a magic trick, I just wish I wasn't straight as hell so I could fully appreciate it.
Look, bro, all of your ideas are really interesting. Fascinating. Really. I think the idea of the women carrying the throne or whatever is the most interesting of all of the ideas. Really, though, what I would like to see is something a little more casual. Got any more ideas? I know you can come up with something even better than that. I would really hate it, totally 100%, if I never got to hang out with you again. What would you do without me?
Here's an idea, just shooting them around. What if we rented a penthouse suite at the Luxor and invited a bunch of hot chicks up? I could bring plenty of gorgeous women and I am sure you could invite some of your little magic trick groupies. It would be a blast. JJ always pulls in some decent cougars, if that's your thing. I don't know, not my thing really.
Anyway, think on that. Oh, and let me run this by you. I was thinking of putting together a new outfit that would top last year's outfit. Maybe a midnight-black velvet chasseur's jacket with gold braid, welding goggles, and a rust-colored mohair tricorn about nine sizes too awesome. Get some good chunky boots and a pair of Stillsuit pants (great S-value) off ebay and I'd be in business.
If you can top that, do your best.
Later, bro.
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further
The Something Awful front page news tackles anything both off and on the Internet. Mostly "on" though, as we're all incredible nerds.

Russell Brand might be a controversial figure, but he makes politics interesting and injects it with a spark with his talk of anarchy. And there's definitely something of the anarchist within me, but I am not sure I would vote for him either if he was running for PM.
Let me take you back. It's September 2014 and David Cameron faces the very real prospect of being the Prime Minister who oversaw the demise of the United Kingdom...
With the general election fast approaching, the two major parties grapple with each other over the 34% mark in the polls, neither apparently able to spring ahead to a lead. It is looking to be an exciting election night, but I hope to ruin that for you by predicting, on the basis of historical events, that Ed Miliband will be our next prime minister.
Like Ed Miliband, I have crossed the Brand threshold of his East London home. It is a lot funkier than the NW3 place that used to attract my daughter and her friends. Like Ed, I sat down with him and discussed politics. He was particularly keen to have a go at me about Iraq, and TB's motivations. I was particularly keen to challenge him on his view, expressed when he was interviewed by - and more than held his own with - Jeremy Paxman, that voting made no difference. He didn't change my mind about TB. I think I may have changed his about voting because afterwards I started to notice him changing his tune...
The aim of this three-part article is to demonstrate that every deficit narrative and soundbite question or statement that you have heard parroted thousands of times are simply tricks aimed to mislead people.
Scenarios must be in place to ensure integration is successful and immigration is efficient and responsible, to ensure the spreading of skills across a populace instead of a concentration. What good is a United Kingdom, if the people, it's most important resource, are not being shared?
Ed Miliband has made it clear, on numerous occasions, he won't get into bed with Nicola Sturgeon. In fact some of his most passionate responses have come when dealing with this question. We now know Russell Brand has more chance of securing a cabinet position as there is clearly a very good chance he and Ed have at least shared a bed.
The real patriot will choose a British political party to preserve the stability needed for economic growth, and the mother of all parliaments. She still remains our best hope for independence from greater Europe, in the world, and from self-destructive sectarianism.
For Labour the hurdle rate might just be 275 with an SNP deal by deal, vote by vote approach. Can Cameron get his polling back to 290? He has been there before in this campaign. Watch that Ukip vote for the coming week and watch out for 'shy' Tories perhaps set to confound the pollsters.
Liberal Democrats are facing historic decisions that will determine the future of the party, country and Europe. A coalition with Labour backed up from the outside by the nationalists might be exotic but not necessarily unstable. It would surely be better than what we have now. It may even, in time-honoured phrase, break the mould of British politics.
16- and 17-year-olds deserve to be able to vote, to be able to determine the direction of their public services and policies that affect them, and 'Milifandom' has once again displayed their maturity and high levels of engagement.
The Labour Party have added a sixth pledge to their list of promises to the UK people: 'Homes to buy and action on rents'. This comes hard on the heels of Ed Miliband announcing a whole raft of measures to help struggling renters - the most contentious being that rent rises will be capped at the rate of inflation under a Labour government, for the duration of longer three-year tenancies.
We have four men, all vying for our vote, all trying to show they are caring and compassionate leaders. All scrambling around at the last minute promising us the world, or indeed, the world as they see it. Why are they allowed to keep tagging incentives onto their manifestos?
It may be that Britain is too stubbornly conservative by nature to implement most of Miliband's progressive agenda, in the same way that America was too sceptical to support most of Obama's most ambitious reforms. But the only way to test this is to try. If not, it is likely that Labour will revert to the centerism it adopted in the 1990's.
The old certainties of General Elections are fading fast. None more so that the old two or two-and-a-half party system. With a more complex and diverse electorate has come a more complex political system and a wider range of parties.
We all have that moment, as a child, when the realisation comes that every other dad is not quite like our own. Mine came early. I was talking to a n...

The US.<quoted text>
Who said gay people want to intermingle genders? I've never heard that before.
Also, where do you get this idea that the public universally agrees on what is masculine or feminine? And what public are you talking about? The US? California? The world? Who?
You're in the US. I'm in the US. When you & I are talking and I mention our society, what makes you think in talking about any other society than American?
American society has set up many differences between men & women. We all have our different roles to play and if played correctly, we succeed.
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Some women DO take out the trash and some men DO enjoy the ballet....
