Libs have a tough choice given by Obama,? You can either go down with the ship or go down with the captain? Either way the ACA is a disaster foisted upon the American people who will show their disdain in 2014!

I find it hilarious that avid ObamaCare supporters, particularly in Northwest,
and now learning that there are fewer choices, less coverage, a significantly
more cost than what they expected - exactly as they had been told time and time
again by people whom they refused to listen to.
Employers are cutting benefits and raising costs and, when challenged, have nothing more to say than the government won't let them do what they've done in the past. To have the same coverage I had last year is going to cost me a little less than twice as much. How's that for the promised lower costs and better coverage?
Sticking fingers in your ears is rarely a good way to make a decision. Unfortunately Obama followers are blind sheep bleating behind their master and that's exactly what we'll see again over the next few months. Like lemmings, they will follow Obama right over the edge of the cliff.

If this so called roll out had gone well Obama would be doing victory laps around everthing. Watch him keep his distance from the failure. Who would believe he did not preview this fiasco. His ego kept it from the light of day.

There will be many people who like Obamacare/ACA.
For example, most people who work in beauty salons don't have health insurance--or pay premiums for catastrophic type coverage.
I asked the person cutting my hair yesterday if she had had a chance to go on CA's website. She had, and discovered she could get a significant reduction in her monthly premium for a lower deductible and much better coverage.

Obama has no real clue about insurance. He just makes things up that sound
There is no accountability for him.
The fact that he got re elected at all shows that he has a free pass to keep lying.
Thanks America for voting for him. You are getting what you deserve.

Enrollment problems/sticker shock are just the beginning.
Common sense tells us that we cannot get more for less. You cannot insure millions more, eliminate lifetime caps and cover pre-existing conditions without someone paying more.
And you cannot send millions more to the doctor without having a shortage of doctors.

Obama's words and actions are often totally opposed to each other.
He has steadfastly opposed any delay in the individual mandates (while delaying mandates for his cronies, despite the lack of any legal authority to do so). As the unworkable sign up system collapses, it is very likely that Obama will suddenly blame Republicans and Bush for the problems, and announce a one year delay in the individual mandate as well.

The rollout is going poorly but the bill itself is good. The exchanges are quite popular in the states that have effectively set up their sites, like Kentucky's "Kynect" (heh, it's also more popular when you leave the conservative people in the state blissfully unaware that Kynect is their Obamacare exchange).

The real pathetic thing is that blind adherents like Truthseeker will, without reservation, join in the blame game. They will continue to cherry-pick the one or two pieces of data that make things sound good while ignoring the overwhelming contradictory data that shows how troubled things are. People like this use an isolated case to make their argument and turn a blind eye to any other data no matter how readily available it is.

Says the same folks who were so absolutely sure that Mitt would win, your
predictions are based on your hatred and ignorance instead of facts.
So when it succeeds, I''m sure we'll see the same rabid radio listeners, find something else to complain and do nothing about, this is all the conservative party has left after 30 years of tying to convince the public that trickle down works and war is good... it doesn't so this one trick pony can only complain and obstruct.
Truthseeker generally uses references, something conservative can't seem to accomplish.

@Happy Valley
So you say that conservatives can't find references to back up their facts. Here are a few: Dr. Betsy McCaughey read the whole 2000+ pages of new regulations in the ACA and found a payroll tax increase, limits on HSA accounts at $2500.00 which many people use to pay for kids braces etc.. Taxes on medical device manufacturers who make life saving devices such as pace makers etc..,and many more new taxes. Also you might have missed the story last summer where the Alpine School District cut the hours of their bus drivers to 29 hours a week so they would not have to pay them Health Benefits which they can't afford because of the ACA according to the official from the School District. Most of these facts are given little attention by the Obama networks, and its only conservatives who decided to read the whole bill and find the hidden taxes that Obama doesn't want you to know about.

Happy Valley Heretic, I keep trying to remind liberals that Democrats were in power to start WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. They are as guilty as Republicans with war.
Regarding your trickle down economics statement, I would be interested to hear your economic philosophy. If it is anything like Obama's, then it would involve government control of industry, manufacturing, housing, etc. Sounds like the failed economies of Korea, Cuba, and the Soviet Union.
A good, healthy economy requires freedom of thought, expression, experimentation, freedom from the overwhelming regulations we see today, and freedom of money.

You make a good point. I am sorry to have made it sound like Democrats started WWI and II. Democrats held the White House during those wars and made the right choice to enter them militarily.
Pres Bush did not start Desert Storm in 1991 either. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
Pres Bush went to war in Afghanistan in response to the World Trade Center attack that killed thousands of Americans. I feel that to be an appropriate response given it was the most significant, massive attack against the American homeland since the Pearl Harbor attack.
Pres Bush went to war in Iraq due to poor intel, and the world-wide believe that Saddam had WMD (it is still speculated that his WMD is now in Syria!). Saddam repeatedly thumbed his nose at UN resolutions and efforts to verify WMD and safeguard/destroy them. Saddam had a history of destabilizing a precarious area of the world. Obama has similarly responded in the Middle East by engaging in Iran, Libya, and Syria at different levels (some with drones, others with economic sanctions, others with military attacks and support).
You made a good point. Thanks for letting me clarity mine.

1 aggie, my post was in response to Democratic criticism alluding that
Republicans have started all of these wars because they are warmongers or
something to that effect. It is not true. Republicans have responded to
attacks and threats from dangerous regimes and terrorists to keep Americans
safe. I am sure most Americans would agree that going to war against the
Taliban in Afganistan was an appropriate response to the World Trade Center
attack? The Taliban regime in Afganistan was where Osama bin Laden was basing
his operations, if you recall. He was the man that declared war on America in
the 90's, and that Clinton targeted to kill with missiles.
Saddam Hussein overthrew the government in Kuwait by invading his neighbor. Saddam repeatedly threatened our major ally in the region, Israel, and sponsored terrorism against Israel. The US has committed to help certain nations if attacked, such as South Korea, Japan, Israel, the Philippines, Poland, England, and others. Though politically the war against Iraq and Saddam was debated, there were not many opposed to engaging with Saddam militarily when the vote was cast in Congress, and the UN.

Washington's strong support for Saddam Hussein thought the period of his worst atrocities in the 1980s, when he was so admired in Washington that his most shocking crimes--the murderous slaughter of Kurds--were denied by the Reagan administration and congressional protests were blocked. The excuse offered is that Iran was more dangerous, but apart from the cynicism, such apologetics cannot be taken seriously. Well after Iraq's war with Iran, the US continued to support Saddam, even to expedite his development of weapons of mass destruction.
In 1990, Pres. Bush I even sent a high-level congressional delegation, led by Sen. Bob Dole, to convey his personal greetings to his good friend and to assure him that he should disregard criticisms by "the haughty and pampered press," who are out of control.
A few months later Saddam defied or misunderstood orders, and shifted from admired friend to the embodiment of evil. All such matters have been consigned to the usual repository of unwelcome fact.
shifted from admired friend to the embodiment of evil in 3..2..1 there's more to this..

Raiders owner Mark Davis meets with San Antonio officials; possible move?
If the city of Oakland doesn't work out for the Raiders, owner Mark Davis apparently has his eye on San Antonio.
More NFL: Photos | Videos & GIFs | Training Camp updates | Manziel watch
If the Raiders don't get a new stadium, the team could be making the move from Oakland to the Alamo. According to MySanAntonio.com, owner Mark Davis met with San Antonio city officials in mid-July to discuss possibly moving his team to Texas.
The Raiders' lease at O.co Coliseum expires after the 2014 season and at that point they would theoretically be free to move anywhere, although 24 out of 32 NFL owners would have to approve any possible relocation.
According to MySanAntonio.com's report, Davis took a helicopter tour of San Antonio and also visited the Alamodome, the stadium where the Raiders would potentially play if they made the move. The Alamodome could be upgraded to NFL standards in time for kickoff of the 2015 season.
The Raiders currently play in the country's sixth-largest media market while San Antonio is the 37th largest.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told MySanAntonio.com that he had not heard about Davis possibly heading for Texas.
"We don't have any information about (Davis' meeting in San Antonio), so there is no reason for us to comment," Aiello said. "We have received no applications from any of our teams to relocate at this point, so there is nothing for us to respond to."
If he moves to San Antonio, Davis would want a small, intimate stadium where he could put up a statue of his dad, former Raiders owner Al Davis.
Davis didn't have much to say when asked on Tuesday about his visit to San Antonio.
Davis said former San Antonio mayor Henry Cisneros is a friend and he met with San Antonio officials at his suggestion. Has no other comment
— Jerry McDonald (@Jerrymcd) July 29, 2014
According to the Raiders website, Davis was in San Antonio to see long-time Raider Cliff Branch inducted into a local Hall of Fame.
Henry Cisneros was asked by MySanAntonio.com if he thought the Raiders would end up moving to his city, "You'd have to ask [Davis]," Cisneros said. "I didn't press that point, but we want to give him things to think about and options should he need to make a decision."
Davis has repeatedly said that he wants to keep the team in Oakland, but that the Raiders need a new stadium. Davis had reportedly hoped that he could tear down O.co Coliseum and build a 50,000 seat stadium at the same site.
However, those hopes were likely dashed in early July, when the the city of Oakland and MLB's Athletics came to an agreement on a 10-year lease. Davis had felt that if the A's got a long lease, it would be impossible for his team to get a new stadium.
The A's and the city of Oakland tentatively agreed to a lease in late June, before finalizing it on July 23. Davis' visit to San Antonio was believed to have taken place on July 18. On that same day, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was in Santa Clara, Calif., where he suggested the Raiders could play at Levi's Stadium, the new home of the 49ers.
Davis has made it clear he doesn't want to share Levi's stadium with the 49ers. Of course, if all else fails, there's always Portland.

Old Style Hockey: Welcome
Welcome to the Old Style Hockey Teams website !
2015 - 2016 Season - Old Style had a terrible season last year. We definitely did not play our game, and it showed. In previous season we had played some tremendous hockey and look to get back to that. Our goaltending is solid, defensively as a team we are better and with an increased goal production again this season it is looking very bright for Old Style.
Again this season we will continue to win and lose as a team, we need all three lines to contribute and buy into the defence first approach. We are a solid team and should be one of the top teams in the league this season.
The season runs from September to March and we play 21 regular season games and then up to 8 playoff games. We currently play at two Edmonton arena's:
Glengarry Arena 13340 - 85 Street
Londonderry Arena 14520 - 66 Street
Old Style Hockey is an adult recreational team. Played for the passion of the game by men. The post game ritual of sitting around a cooler full of beer, exaggerating about skill levels or lack thereof is - as important if not more than the game itself. Sportsmanship, Camaraderie and Competition are the key elements.
2015 - 2016 Team Fees are due now it is $350.00 for the season, please get your money to Kyle A.S.A.P.
If you will not be able to make any games or practices you can e-mail the Old Style Management Team at firstname.lastname@example.com

A new UNICEF report shows the U.S. lagging behind countries like Turkey and Slovakia on efforts to reduce childhood inequality, even as it ranks No. 1 in wealth.
Issues / Poverty
Tax policy and police brutality are inextricably linked, yet no one's talking about it. Here's why they should.
State-sanctioned racial oppression is achieved through a new kind of slavery.
Here are five key quotes from the encyclical that will shake up the global climate debate.
Violence is structured into the everyday institutional practices of all oppressive societies, not simply an aspect of the resistance of the oppressed.
We've created a perfect storm of poverty, fear, social control and racially charged policing.
When a community issues arrest warrants for more offenses than it has residents, something's deeply wrong.
This report provides a new understanding of the growing ways in which those in poverty are disproportionately targeted, marginalized, and prosecuted.
Can we trust Oxfam's latest numbers on global inequality? Critics don't think we should. But their pushback is getting pushback aplenty.
First they were the inequality-deniers. Now you might call them the inequality-opportunists.

This post is basically about the "tools" behind my rapid growth since resuming my training in early-December. In addition to the very effective EVL Nutrition Performance Stack, I've been putting away plenty of food-a lot of protein and even more carbohydrates and of course fats to keep my muscles full and pushing.

Leg Training | 12.22.15
Hello good folks! It has been a while since you've seen a post from me (way back in July), so I am back with a showcase of my latest adventure in the gym. This was my second leg workout since I resumed training on the 8th of this month (I took two months off from training). The picture above was taken last Friday (12/18) and even though my legs are not as strong, the volume training that I have done has kept them full and in pretty good condition. I am expecting to regain full strength (or better) within the next four to six weeks and with strength, comes appreciable muscle mass. In the meantime, I plan to bomb my legs with moderately volume training to keep them growing. By the way, the EVLUTION NUTRITION Performance Stack combined with their EVLTEST is allowing me to really do some serious damage in the gym. Mission accomplished!

Kai Greene's Unforgettable Posing Routine [VIDEO]
There was a time in competitive bodybuilding, when the art of a finely choreographed posing routine was just as important as the competitor's muscle mass, symmetry, and definition! During the early years of the sport, pretty much all competitors took great pride in practicing their posing and showcasing a routine was both professional and theatrical-something that would make spectators marvel in amazement. Throughout the 70's, 80's, and 90's, a handful of bodybuilders made it their aim to bring polished posing routines to the stage; their transitions and stamina were seemingly effortless.

Even when you've planned and prepared till the cows come home, hosting your child's birthday party can have its moments of stress - especially when a guest becomes unruly or disruptive, threatening the fun for everyone. We've compiled advice from party experts in the Manhattan area on the best way to deal with a rude party guest, so you'll be prepared to save the day when the time comes.
Party Poopers, No More!
Even when you've planned and prepared till the cows come home, hosting a birthday party for kids can have its moments of stress. Remember that the occasion is marking another of your child's milestones (one year older, one year wiser, and one more candle on the cake!) - so don't let something as inconsequential as a whiny or unruly child ruin your day, and especially your child's.
All your prep will go far in creating an environment conducive to fun and peace: Pick age-appropriate activities and party places, know your guests (and their parents' expectations), etcetera, etcetera. And then be prepared for anything. As Natalie Swatz, a restaurant manager with 10 years of party entertaining experience under her belt, says, "Not every four-year-old likes hot potato or balloons. By having clear plans in place, you've certainly won half the battle."
To prepare you for the other half, we asked her and other local experts - who've seen it all - for their advice:
How can parents deal with a young guest who is being disruptive at their child's party?
"The best way to deal with a rowdy or unruly child is to keep him/her busy. Parties should include many games and activities that allow children to work with partners. When a rowdy child gets the opportunity to be part of a team, that child will often want to contribute to the game instead of misbehave.
Hiring a company that works with children in their school environment is a good idea because the party staff will be able to learn and apply the discipline techniques used by the school. Parents can find peace of mind knowing that an unruly guest will be dealt with in the same way as an unruly student."
-Laura Brown, director, DramaZone, class locations throughout New York City
"What I've learned: Getting kids involved makes a party fun for the kids and the parents, and keeps everyone engaged. Take a child who is being rude under your wing, and give him attention and something to do. For me, that means making the child a d.j.! First I would put on the headphones and let the kid see how the music is being played. Next I'd ask if he wanted to say something on the microphone. Then I'd announce, 'Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our new d.j., Mike!' Before you know it, the individual who was minutes ago the problem child is now the center of attention and having fun! It doesn't really matter what age the kids are at a party - the secret is really keeping them involved!"
-Mike Annunziato, d.j./owner, M.A. Music presents..."Karaoke for Kids," Yonkers

President Bush hailed a slight decline in unemployment Friday as reason for his re-election, evidence the "economy is strong and getting stronger." Not so, said Sen. John Kerry, countering that the administration's term will end with a net loss of jobs.
"The president wants you to re-elect him. For what?" Kerry jabbed at the Republican in the White House. "Losing jobs? Building the biggest deficit in American history?"
Buoyed by a poll showing him surging into a double-digit lead, Bush campaigned across Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa, three states he lost in 2000. Kerry worked Ohio, where Bush prevailed in the last election, as the two men began a nine-week fall campaign for the White House.
A new Time magazine survey showed the president with a 52-41 advantage over his rival among likely voters. It was released after a campaign stretch in which the Democrat struggled to fend off attacks on his war record while the Republicans stage-managed their convention for maximum political benefit.
Ralph Nader picked up 3 percentage points in the survey, which marked a sharp break from polls taken during the past few months that made the race a tossup.
Neither Bush nor Kerry referred to the polls as they plunged into the heart of their campaigns.
"There is a clear difference of philosophy in this race. He is for expanding government, I am for expanding opportunity," Bush said in Moosic, Pa.
It was his first appearance after Thursday night's convention acceptance speech, in which the president pledged to defeat terrorists and help Americans achieve economic security.

Background and Aims: Winter pruning and manual bunch thinning are the primary methods for crop regulation in viticulture. Recently, innovative mechanical approaches have been proposed as cost-effective for yield management. The aim of this work was to compare the effectiveness of mechanical early defoliation and mechanical crop thinning on yield regulation, and on grape and wine composition.
Methods and Results: The impact of mechanical early defoliation and crop thinning, applied at different timings, was investigated in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo vertically shoot-positioned-trained grapevines over two seasons. Effects on yield components, leaf area, botrytis incidence, grape and wine composition were determined. Yield per vine was drastically reduced by both techniques (35–40%). Bunch weight, number of berries per bunch, bunch compactness and botrytis were also reduced by most of the treatments. Total leaf area per vine was not affected, however, the total leaf area-to-yield ratio increased in most cases. Berry soluble solids, anthocyanins and total phenols increased in the grapes. Wines were higher in alcohol and more intensely coloured in mechanical early defoliation treatments in comparison with those of mechanical thinning.
Conclusions: Mechanical early defoliation and crop thinning may be suitable and efficient for regulating grape yield and improving grape and wine composition. Early defoliation, however, appeared to be more consistent.
Significance of the Study: Effective yield control in winegrapes may be accomplished by mechanical techniques implemented between pre-flowering and veraison. The choice of mechanical technique for yield management may influence the grape and wine composition.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Vanderbilt Commodores are about to find out how much their challenging start to this season really helped them out.
After a schedule ranked the third-toughest in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the Commodores head into the final half of this season with no teams currently in the Top 25. They have six games needing four wins to become bowl eligible for the second straight season, something this program never has done before.
The Commodores host a team Saturday even more desperate for victory in the Auburn Tigers (1-5, 0-4 Southeastern Conference).
Vanderbilt coach James Franklin says the Tigers are a dangerous team and his Commodores (2-4, 1-3) have to be ready since they're still growing as a program.

Lincoln Center: Reviews & Impressions
Posted 30 July 2006 - 09:30 AM
tikitatata, Im glad you enjoyed my last post and I hope I don't offend anyone with my negative view of this company's week in NY. I really wanted to love them, Id never seen them before and was very excited about their visit. I didnt think I was going to love their Sylvia but I expected to love their gala & mixed rep programs. In fact I was upset that a business trip wouldnt allow me to see their mixed rep program twice, now Im glad Im not going again this afternoon!
For me SFBs week in NY is ending the same way it began, leaving me with mixed feelings. Their rep program showed the dancers to much greater advantage than previous programs, and they do have some beautiful dancers. Tan, Feijoo, Possokhov, Garcia, Molat, LeBlanc, Boada & Maffre really stood out. However, I didnt like the pieces they chose to present.
I actually thought 7 for 8 was ok, not great but ok . It gave the dancers something to sink their teeth into and was the first thing Ive seen this week that showed them at their best. I figured the program would pick up from there. Unfortunately while Quatenary also provided a showcase for the dancers it now has the distinction of being the only thing Ive ever seen by Wheeldon that I truly dislike. It seemed very derivative of his other works and went on way too long to keep my interest. Frankly, aside from the Maffre /Possokhov pdd I found it boring.
I liked Artifact and if I had enjoyed the 2 pieces that proceeded it Im sure I would have liked it more but I was already so numb from sitting through 7 for 8 and then Quaternary that halfway through Artifact Suite I almost got up and left. Literally, I talked myself out of leaving 2 or 3 times during the last 10 minutes. I can't remember the last time I felt that way at the ballet. If this is the future of ballet I will run screaming back to the past. Fortunately, I know it is only ONE future direction out of many possibilities.
If SFB is a post modern ballet company, then so be it however if they consider themselves to be a classical ballet company then I really think they missed the boat with the type of rep they brought for this engagement.
Posted 30 July 2006 - 09:45 AM
I'm waiting with bated breath for this one.
To quote him from an interview we did this week (it will be forthcoming in the print version of Dance View) he did it with ABT once and laughed that there was no way his body could produce what Desmond Richardson's could - New York saw his "small, intimate" version of the role.
Possokhov's Phlegmatic is one of my all-time favorite performances.
Posted 30 July 2006 - 09:49 AM
nysusan - I agree with almost all of what you experienced (especially about Artifact), I just added up the score differently. It seems to me that SFB is in fact trying to set itself up as a major contemporary/postmodern force rather than a "high classical" one and also that the company was interested in showing us its dancers first and foremost.
When I saw Quaternary in SF I liked it a lot less - it may get better on a second viewing (I didn't love it, I just didn't feel the same negativity towards it).
Helene - with immense regret (because I loved it too) I realized afterwards that Phlegmatic was something we did not discuss (we were concentrating on choreography).
Posted 30 July 2006 - 09:59 AM
I'm glad that was the focus of the interview, and that SFB is diversifying house choreography.

The seven movement Tomasson/Bach 7 for 8 started with Nutnaree Pipit-Suksun and Pierre-Francoise Vilanoba. As on opening night, she maintained her continuous flow of movement. Kristin Long and Gonzalo Garcia followed, and as in Sylvia he projected a warm-hearted virtuosity. Then came Frances Chung, Elizabeth Miner and Pascal Molat. Next Jaime Garcia Castilla joined Garcia, Long and Miner. So far a pleasant show piece, and each dancer was pleasing. Pascal Molat came on for a very well-danced solo, I feel it was significantly better danced than his Aminta, making it a bit easier to understand why he is such a well-regarded principal.
The sixth movement featured a return of the lead pair, Pipit-Suksun and Vilanoba. There was a moment when she let go of his hand and managed to simultaneously move toward and away from him. Maybe she didn't move at all. But it was the moment of poetry in this ballet. As on opening night, there is something very special about this dancer. She delivers those you-gotta-be-there moments, yet so quietly that you wonder what other you may have missed with the blink of an eye. There is something subtle about her fluid movement that transcends even direction. All the dancers were enjoyable in the finale. Choreographically light, but showing each dancer pleasingly, if not sufficiently challenging them.
Poor Mr. Wheeldon. When you are called "the best young ballet choreographer" everyone expects an almost Sleeping Beauty or a Symphony in C or an After the Rain. So Quaternary isn't it. Still, it has its merits.
Winter (Cage) gave another chance to see Yuan Yuan Tan, here partnered by David Smith. Solists were Elana Altman, David Acre, Lily Rogers and Quin Warton. Maybe because I like Cage's music for prepared piano I liked this. Maybe a better reason is that I really enjoyed Tan this season, she has such fine amplitude and presents the choreography in such a crystaline way.
Spring (Bach) featured Lorena Feijoo, Joan Boada, Tina LeBlanc and Rory Hohenstein. Although anticipating looking at the first pair, I was drawn to Tina, whose dancing explained the title of the section. At least for me, Wheeldon's invention seemed to flag by mid-movement.
Summer (Part). Here's Wheeldon! Muriel Maffre and Tiit Helimets were the dancers. In NYC we've seen some extraordinary duets created by Wheeldon on Wendy Whelan and ultra-partner Jock Soto. One knew from the opening Gala that Helimets was a real partner, then he disappeared during the Sylvias. Why? Maffre brought her imagination, that gave such completeness to her Diana, to play in this more abstract scenario. She was riviting. The piano's notes plucked singly very slowly, but deeply, and the space between was filled by Wheeldon's completing, giving continuity to the seemingly discrete music. The music has an emotional heart, of course, the notes the beating of the heart and the dancers swimming on this quiet wave. Helimets created the vast and calm sea in which his secure partner could entrance. When he exits stage left she is left to sit onstage, alone. This was very well received, in the moment and substantially during the bows at ballet's end.
Autumn (Mackey, played by the composer on electric guitar) completed the seasons. Sarah van Patten and Ruben Martin, with Brooke Moore, Garrett Anderson, Jonathan Mangosing, Garen Scribner, James Sofranko. Liking this is probably highly correlated with how one feels about the music. Is there some meaning to van Patten's coming over to console, and then remove Maffre's gown? There is a lot of action for the corps. I note again, as in the Gala, that any emotion that Sarah projects does not involve facial expression.
Forsythe's Artifact Suite had a large number of dancers, plus leading roles for two couples, Yuan Yuan Tan and Damian Smith, and Tina LeBlanc and Gonzalo Garcia, with Muriel Maffre as the Sentinal and William Forsythe as the Big Ego. The thudding curtain and that long pause as we were forced to sit in semi-darkness, awaiting breathlessly the next burst of divine creativity: For once I was not in a mood to shssss the restless talkers. When we were allowed to see some choreography and dancing it was as good as the season's given. When it was over you wouldn't have known that this was the company's farewell. Perhaps the audience felt too mistreated, and hadn't the heart left to pay proper honor to SFB's worthy dancers.
Favorites? One would be tempted toward a long list. But allowing two of each.
For the women:
Yuan Yuan Tan, she taught me much about what I was seeing, and had the amplitude and presence of a ballerina.
Nutnaree Pipit-Suksun, precisely because I don't know why.
For the men:
Guennadi Nedviguine, for going beyond technique and for gazing at his ballerina.
Tiit Helimets, perfect partnering for two totally different ballerinas.
Grand Prix:
Muriel Maffre, for being the season's Heart of Dance.

It seems to me that SFB is in fact trying to set itself up as a major contemporary/postmodern force rather than a "high classical" one . . .
I think this is absolutely correct, but I haven't seen it stated so clearly. I think many SFB dancers want it and are in a postion to carry it out, and many of us in the audience would support it. SFB will never be the Kirov or NYCB, but it could be a great contemporary/post-modern ballet company. The economics work against it (a mixture of classical full-lengths and contemporary ballets is what Helgi has opted for, and that has kept the company in the black). But SFB's real strength is actually in the contemporary/post-modern idiom, even if it hasn't explicitly said so. Thanks for pointing out something crucial about the company's real strength (even if it is not everyone's idea of what makes for a great ballet company; it does explain why Mark Morris woud see SFB as the "best" ballet company--the one most open to and able to carry out his own post-modern visions. We could do a lot worse).
Posted 30 July 2006 - 09:30 PM
Maybe not the Kirov, but SFB has always had it's share of full-lengths, even before Peter Martins started presenting his full-length Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, and I think there is little difference between today's NYCB and SFB repertoire in terms of type of work performed. (SFB performs fewer works each year.) Helgi Tomasson is firmly in the neo-classical school in his own choreography.

Excuse me.... but what??!! NYCB performs how many great Balanchine ballets and good Robbins' ballets during each season compared to SFB's rep? Diamond Project seasons are one thing, but...
What I will remember most about SFB's visit here this past week is how enthusiastic *every* dancer was in *every* ballet performed, and what a fine credit that is to Tomasson's directorship.
Posted 31 July 2006 - 01:56 AM
Excuse me.... but what??!! NYCB performs how many great Balanchine ballets and good Robbins' ballets during each season compared to SFB's rep?
When I saw NYCB this Spring after a break of five years, I thought, "no one does Balanchine like this company. They are absolutiely Numero Uno in this department--a national treasure if we ever had one." I think SFB has a different, complementary set of skills and values, and Leigh's comment helped me to see it more clearly. But SFB is still very much in the process of defining itself artistically. It may be America's oldest professional ballet company, but it has only recently moved from regional to international ranking, and it is still developing its core idenity. It's a very young company in spite of its long history. I really appreciated the critical eye so many of you lavished on SFB this week in New York on this board. Thank you!
Posted 31 July 2006 - 08:06 AM
halfway through Artifact Suite I almost got up and left.
I had the same misgivings, and got up my courage to leave 5 minutes before the end (a first, for me!). I guess the many 'thuds' of the descending curtain and the lack of 'wings' screamed 'avantgarde', in case the audience was not quick enough to catch on. Granted, it could be my problem that I cannot see much merit in this work. I did have the unsettling thought--'would I have booed the premiere of 'Rite of Spring'; but then, I did have an appreciation of Balanchine long before he became an Ikon, I was able to recognize genius (forgive the word, I can think of no other) even at a tender age.
The one ballet on this mixed repertory bill that I would really like to see again is Tomasson's '7 for 8'. I don't think I have ever seen a b allet where I come away marveling at the male port de bras---all the men exhibited beautiful port de bras but the honors to go Pascal Molat in his solo 5th movement--and Nutnaree Pipit-Suksun I would love to see again and again.
As to Wheeldon's 'Quaternary'---I found it a bit hard to swallow that he is considered by many to be the great-hope for choreography. I am a bit weary of the I'll-slide-down-your-back-crotch-in-the-face School of Choreography. I saw some of this last week in Chautauqua NY by the North Carolina Dance Company, but the choreographer was a teen-ager and I attributed it to raging hormones. But at least 'Quaternary' gave me a chance to see Tiit Helimets perform.
Posted 31 July 2006 - 08:07 AM
SFB was one of the earlier US companies to get a Forsythe premiere, New Sleep ca. 1987. (Joffrey got Love Songs earlier and also Square Deal, which I never saw. NYCB got Behind the China Dogs a year later.) I know Forsythe has not allowed other early works to be performed, I wonder if that's another one he's withdrawn.
Completely off topic and thinking back to the mid to late 80s with works like that and Frankfurt's visits to NYC bringing France/Dance and Same Old Story. . .every dancer in NYC showed up when a company brought a Forsythe work on tour. Once upon a time it really looked like he was going to re-define ballet - or at least what the generation after Balanchine was going to add to the historical stew. That was going to be our contribution to the mix.
What the hell happened?
Posted 31 July 2006 - 08:27 AM
Balanchine is a neo-classical choreographer. NYCB dances very few strictly classical ballets (mime and Candy Cane from Nutcracker, first two acts of Coppelia, Swan Lake pas de deux, sections of Sleeping Beauty), unlike the Kirov. NYCB, through substantial Diamond Projects and the American Music Project, commissions works that range from neo-classical to contemporary.

If anything, SFB dances more strictly classical ballets than NYCB, with two full-lengths a year (not counting Nutcracker) -- although it sounds like Martins is trying to catch up -- with the occasional ABT piece, like this season's Rodeo. The majority of their repertory is firmly rooted in the neoclassical -- the majority of new work is choreographed by Tomasson and Wheeldon, as well as work by Julia Adam, and now that Possokhov is resident choreographer, I'd expect more from him. I don't know whether Morris' piece Pacific was intended as a ballet, like Sylvia and Maelstrom.
For next season, the balance of the repertory consists of Paul Taylor's Spring Rounds, Lar Lubovich's Elemental Brubeck, David Bintley's Dance House -- the one time I saw his work, it wasn't memorable, and I don't recall his style -- and works by Wayne McGregor, who has choreographed for NYCB and according to this interview is a self-styled "contemporary" choreographer, and Matjash Mrozewski. I haven't seen either, but the latter is creating new work for SFB, Royal Danish Ballet, and National Ballet of Canada this year, with works in the rep of Royal Ballet, Houston Ballet, West Australian Ballet, and Royal Swedish Ballet as well according to his website. That alone doesn't guarantee style, but he seems to be one of young "hopes" among classical ballet companies worldwide, with a resume deeper than many Diamond Project choreographers over the years.
Posted 31 July 2006 - 08:36 AM
Leigh, would it be possible to start a new thread elsewhere addressing just that question?

Many of us get the chance to see a few Forsythe works now and then, because they've entered the regional rep. I my case, the total that I can recall by name are Steptext and Love Songs. Plus excerpts of In the Middle Somewhat Elevatated on video.
I'd reallly like to listen in on a serious discussion of Forsythe's ballet-oriented works compared to more recent non- (or even anti-) ballet work I've read about. It might also be useful to get a list of those ballets that you, Alexandra and others consider are part of Forsythe's more ballet-friendly output, and to find out who, where, and how they are currently performed in the US.
Posted 31 July 2006 - 10:18 AM
I've been watching the rep over the last decade, and it looks to me like Tomasson has replaced Balanchine with his own work and, lately, Robbins'. I don't see an overwhelming number of European contemporary; if I don't feel it's worth traveling to SFB to see a program, it's more likely to avoid Tomasson's work than not. He is trying to develop and encourage choreographers from within his company, notably Adam and Possokhov. (I think Christopher Stowell's style is a little too similar to Tomasson's for that to be a great fit.)
To me, the profiles of NYCB and SFB are significantly different. Alexandra and I were speaking yesterday about SFB; we noted that during Tomasson's tenure he moved away from the Balanchine satellite company model to a more European contemporary model - and it was what the audience and the company needed. The company doesn't have a legacy to guard and I think Artifact shows the company more accurately than Who Cares (to pick a Balanchine ballet out of a hat)
I do think the Company's ability to dance Balanchine well is a gauge. In the late 90's, I saw a stunner of a Liebeslieder Walzer with Julia Diana and Evelyn Berman, and over the years, a few wonderful Stravinsky Violin Concertos, as well as superb relatively recent performances of 4T's. I was less enthralled with the recent Apollos than most. I don't think they do a good job with Who Cares?, but, then again, I hadn't seen very many good performances of the ballet by NYCB in the early 90's, and I can't remember any outside the company, including Durante's guest turn in the 1993 Balanchine Celebration.
ETA: There must be something in the water in San Francisco, with choreographers Possokhov, Adam, Christopher Stowell, and Paul Gibson all coming out of the SFB dancers ranks.

Sylvia: Thursday, July 27th - Elizabeth Miner, Pascale Molat and Pierre Francois-Vilanoba
I was told by NYSusan that there wasn't really any dancing until the third act. I actually was very taken with the first act. The stage was somewhat bisected by a stream and greenery on the upper stage left which cut into the dancer's space. The set of the ABT/RB "Sylvia" is similarly rather cumbersome and intrusive on the dancing space. I liked the opening dance of the satyrs, dryads and naiads with the naiads and dryades competing for the attentions of the satyrs. Morris used the music well in letting the shimmering arpeggios in the accompaniment signal the entry of the naiads from the stream.
Elizabeth Miner had an airy, outdoor fresh quality to her Sylvia with some of that cheerleader spunk you associate with the "All-American Girl" choreography that Balanchine created for Suzanne Farrell. However, she is also definitely very feminine and warm onstage, so her conversion was never really in doubt. Where I felt Morris did better than Ashton is in the mime and storytelling. The relationships seemed a bit more fleshed out in this version with dramatic tension sought out in the choices. Eros is more of a clown and trickster which seems appropriate and gives a comic dimension to this story of amorous misadventures. In fact, Morris never stooped to camp which some people were looking for knowing his previous work. He threw in dry humorous touches but played it quite straight and let the humor take care of itself. So there was contrast between serious ballet presentation and goofy modernity.
There was contrast too between the choreographic steps - the leads were very balletic with some fluent solos but the supporting characters were given more modern dance moves. There is no such contrast in the Ashton where everything is very 19th century balletic. Either you prefer the stylistic consistency and period charm of the Ashton or you are turned on by Morris' eclecticism.
The second act which some people liked best, I liked least. Maybe it was more what you would expect of Morris but I found the choreography thin. The Pas D'Esclaves music was just thrown away on a clumsy dance for the male corps with little invention. The cutesy orientalism of the music didn't fit the primitive roughness of the male slaves/cave dwellers. The clumps of rocks in the middle of the set limited the dancing space though it did create levels. I used dramatic license to dispel disbelief that Orion could be knocked unconscious by Welch's grape juice, perhaps he is diabetic. Luckily this act is short.
Morris made the dramaturgical choice to keep Orion in pursuit and his lovers in suspense for Act III. In Ashton's Act III the plot has basically been entirely resolved and it is all just a lovely divertissement marriage celebration like Aurora's wedding in "Beauty". In Morris, Aminta though alive doesn't know where Sylvia is or that she now loves him. Sylvia is brought in disguised as a houri-like slave girl by Eros disguised as a pirate/slave dealer. Sylvia is veiled and Morris devised a gorgeous pas de deux (I may prefer it to Ashton) for the veiled Sylvia and the still-clueless Aminta. First of all, this lets the lovers discover each other and provides the missing love/courtship scene because previously they have been kept apart by circumstances and only reunited by divine intervention. The use of the veil was a direct quote from the "Kingdom of the Shades" act from "La Bayadere" one of my favorite, if not my first favorite, ballets. I liked the choreography for Aminta's solo in this act very much but wished I was seeing Marcelo Gomes or Angel Corella dance it. Pascale Molat was generally elegant but seemed to have to push here. Orion reappears in this act and fights with Aminta for Sylvia but is vanquished by Diana. The denouement is then similar in both ballets. However, this choice keeps the dramatic conflict going throughout most of the evening. In the Ashton the story seems pat and anecdotal.
The third act set of a courtyard with columns in the background with a drop of an idealized Hellenic landscape by Martin Pakledinaz was stunning and open and was a wonderful space for dancing.
The beauty of the music is evident in this version and is emphasized by Morris' musicality. But the problems stem from the story and libretto which leaves all the work to the deus ex machina and makes the two lovers seem like puppets with no inner life of their own. The love story between Aminta and Sylvia happens mostly offstage. There were enough lovely moments, good ideas and fine choreography in this version that I will miss certain elements when I see the other version, though I feel that Ashton, in general, is more successfully realized. I wish Ashton was alive to steal some of Morris' better ideas for his version.
I also attended the first night on Saturday July 29th of the mixed program and will post on that later.

I have never been disappointed when I cook your recipes. This was another outstanding one. The beef patties were so incredibly moist. The sauce was nicely seasoned--loved the thyme flavor. My family all agreed that this was excellent and deserving of more than 5-stars. Thanks Inez.
This was a totally scrumptious meal. My bunch wolfed your hamburger patties down and gave them high compliments. Soft enough to cut with a fork. Made plenty of sauce and I used some of it to go over the rice. Thank you.
Absolutely delicious!!!! I especially liked the savoury cream sauce on these,love the flavour of thyme! What a nice change from the sweet sauces that are usually on hamburger dishes such as meatloaves, meatballs etc. etc..followed the recipe exactly and I do not think I would change a thing! Quick & easy to make too. Will be having these again!Thanks Inez for a great recipe.
Great patties, as the other reviewers said. The sauce was, however, far too bland, BUT it could have been the fault of the chicken broth I used. I spiced up the sauce with local piquanté pepper seasoning, a touch of nutmeg and turmeric, and a dash of Tabasco. Also, because the sauce was too thin, I did not add the milk, but did add a tablespoon of créme fraiche. It was still not quite there ... but quite good served with mashed potatoes and green veggies. Thanks!
I made this last night. De Lish Us. The children have asked me to make it again. This shall be a regular in our house. Bella
This was a very tasty dish and a nice way to pretty up a "burger". The beef was very yummy though I added some oregano and a bit more spice just for more flavor, otherwise it was great. I agree with everyone else the sauce while yummy was very thin and either you need to reduce the amt of broth or keep adding more flour to thicken it - so you have to play with it - plus i added a tad more butter and extra of the seasonings (tasted weak w/the orig measurements to me) otherwise a nice simple sauce that gave the patties a nice flavor. I served the patties on a bed of rice w/the cream sauce over it - so that the rice soaked up the sauce as well - GREAT combo! Will make again. The only question i have is why is the sauce in the picture so golden color? mine was more "white" lol i just am curious how it turned out that way in the pic! lol
Unfortunately, this wasn't well received at our house. I found the sauce didn't have much flavour so I added more thyme and then a dash of sage too. As others mentioned, the sauce is very thin so I had to add cornstarch to thicken it up. It is nice to try something a bit different though, so thanks for posting.
oh.so.tasty! I even accidentally left out the catsup and it was still delicious! The only (intentional) change was that I only used about 8 oz of stock, per some of the other reviews, and that worked out well -- had a nice creamy sauce. I served this with new potatoes and green beans. Slurp! We loved it.
Very good! and easy to make. My husband asked me to make sure I kept this recipe safe.
Five stars for sure! That thyme sauce is what makes it. I did follow others advice and used only half of the chicken stock. I think that I could have used a little more. Maybe 3/4 of a can. The meat mixture also makes great meatballs. I'm feeding myself, my husband and a toddler. So, I made 4 meat patties and formed the rest into meat balls for a pasa dish. I cooked them all on the same pan.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Saba is afraid of chickens, "savage little bullies" with "Bony beaks, razor claws, with GLITTERY eyes that wonder, wonder as they watch me, how easy it would be to make me scream." The way to the bathhouse on her family's farm in rural Pakistan is through the yard full of chickens, and once there, and temporarily safe, Saba must then summon the courage to make the dash back across the yard to her house. One day, with the outward journey behind her, her hair soaped and clean, waiting to gather up her inner forces and make the run to safety for the umpteenth time, the child sees something far more terrifying than chickens. Curled in a corner of the bathhouse, "Within easy striking distance of the door," she spies a snake. Saba conquers her fear of it, and, once empowered, stands up to the chickens, making her the victorious "Ruler of the Courtyard." The illustrations are vigorous and slightly naive, featuring hot bright backgrounds and scratchily malevolent chickens. Saba is a real girl; Nani is her concerned mother, and the attentive detail to their expressions-fear, surprise, and confidence-brings life to their portraits. Pair this warm and funny story with Florence Parry Heide and Jules Feiffer's Some Things Are Scary (Candlewick, 2000) to explore anxiety and courage, and humor's reassuring place in triumphing over childhood concerns.

From Booklist
K-Gr. 1. A young girl, Saba, learns to face fear when she is trapped in the bathhouse with a snake, which she bravely traps under a bucket rather than endangering anyone else by yelling for help. She soon discovers to her great relief, that her snake is actually Nani's "nala," a rope to tie drawstring pants. Having handily dealt with what could have been a very real danger, young Saba can now assert herself among the chickens that have always terrified her with their "bony beaks, razor claws, with GLITTERY eyes that wonder, wonder as they watch me, how easy it would be to make me scream." Their feathers fly as she runs, shouting, "I am Saba! The Ruler of the courtyard." The predominantly red-and-yellow-toned illustrations make clever use of proportion and perspective to emphasize the outsize nature of fear. Their loose-lined, scratchy look echoes the chickens clawing in the hot, dry yard. Saba's story, ostensibly set in Pakistan, will resonate with children who must stand up to their own particular dread. Diane Foote

Hi there! I feel silly asking this question...but...
I know you can read blog posts in a feed reader like Feedly, which is free.
I know our WordPress blog already has a feed set up.
Question - In order for someone to read my blog posts in a reader, do I have to burn a feed to a feedburner (like FeedBlitz)? Or, if I don't go and burn the feed to a burning program like that, can they still enter in my blog url and see the posts in their reader?
Can't I just have an RSS icon on my site that someone can click to add it to the reader...or is there indeed SOMETHING I must do on my end to make that possible? THANK YOU!!

I found an iPhone lying on my table. I called every person I know that was in my house to check if it was theirs. No one said it was theirs. I waited a month later, keeping the iPhone in my drawer. I come back to it and, since nobody's claimed it, I guess it's mine now. It had no SIM card in it. But can I buy a new SIM for this? I have no phone & I'm having this iPhone for the first time. I ask my dad & he tells me I can't buy a SIM card because once I go to the Apple Store & I'll ask to buy a new SIM on the iPhone, they'll think I stole it & report me. When I go to iMessage & try changing the number, it's locked on the number that was on the SIM before it was taken out. What to do? Help! I need to know if it's safe to buy a SIM card. Will they report me?
Go to your local GSM carrier (AT&T in the US) and try to reactivate it. A couple of possible scenarios seem likely:
(Note: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. If you're really worried about the ramifications of the phone possibly having been stolen, you should talk to a lawyer.)

The Budget Birthday Bash
by Lisa Reid
There is a truly huge amount of fun and inexpensive things for kids to do in this world. When I see yet another way to provide kids with fun without spending much, I am always amazed at what great reviews these activities get from the kids themselves.
We recently attended a birthday party that was organized around a hill of dirt. Thanks go to my friends for letting me share the details of this very successful party.
First, the invitation built up some anticipation because it told the guests to wear jeans because they were going to get dirty. When the guests arrived at the party, there was no talk about the "getting dirty" activity at all. In fact, cake and ice cream were served right away, and I eaves-dropped on a few kids whispering, "Well, when are we going to get dirty?"
Finally, the adults told the guests that they were going to be taken on a walk to "Horse Hill." They were led on a path that took them over a wooden fence and along old boards laid along the ground, and finished by hopping across a stump walkway. These are things that this family had lying around anyway and is a good example of using whatever you have and using creative presentation to brew up fun for your kids.
At the end of this path was a big mound of dirt with a flag flying from the top that said "Horse Hill" and had a picture of a horse on it. It was made from a dowel and a piece of old sheet. Next to the mound of dirt was an incredible variety of building and digging materials. Not even one of them had been purchased. There were twigs, pinecones, dry grass, flower petals, popsicle sticks, tin cans, and sawdust and wood scraps that were free from a cabinetmaker's shop. There were old serving spoons and digging implements that had been gathered from the sand box and the gardening shed.
The guests were each given two plastic horses (50 cents each). Then they were instructed to find a place on the hill and build a stable for their horses from the materials laid out. Those kids fell to their tasks with great gusto! Such a molding of dirt and creation of shelter took place.
Many trips to the materials pile were called for. They worked for an hour ad a half, accompanied by the birthday girl's favorite tape playing on the portable tape player.
When it was all over, they had created a vast community, with connecting roads, a theater, a meeting place and rules about visiting one another. No one wanted to leave!
At the end, the parents gave out party favor bags and a cupcake each made from leftover cake batter and icing. The birthday girl was left with a wonderful horse village, created by her friends, to play with as long as she liked.
And it all started with a pile of dirt.

Keepin' It Real In The Voting Booths
By now, we're all familiar with the allegations of voter fraud and "voting irregularities" in several states during the 2000 and 2004 elections. To this day, Florida is still the butt of voting jokes. Ohio was another state that had issues. Current polls show that the margin of victory in this year's election may be just as narrow as in 2000, so all ears and eyes are attuned... to make sure there aren't any voting irregularity repeats. And people are especially paying attention to swing states like Ohio. Today, we'll be joined by Ohio's secretary of state, Jennifer Brunner, who will tell us how the state has prepared for the election on November 4th.

Gregg the latest closer to move
Another day, another shakeup in the closer ranks as the Marlins shipped Kevin Gregg to the Cubs for minor league pitcher Jose Ceda. It's another salary off the books for the rebuilding Marlins, while the Cubs add another arm to an intriguing bullpen for 2009.
However, Gregg is in no way assured of any saves for the Cubs, although the move may go a long way in shaping Chicago's offseason strategy to build the bullpen. Incumbent closer Kerry Wood is a free agent and there's a good chance he might not return. Thus, much-hyped Carlos Marmol likely fills Chicago's void at closer (and becomes a highly coveted player in drafts next spring), while Gregg battles Jeff Samardzija for the right to take over Marmol's job as a late-inning setup man. It makes Gregg a potential handcuff late in drafts (especially in NL-only leagues), but not much more.
As for the Marlins, Lindstrom, who saved all five of his September chances, likely enters spring training as the closer, so he'll have a little bit of preseason value. Just don't go overboard on him even if he seems to be the guy heading into the season; there's not enough of a track record to invest highly in him.
It will be an interesting offseason with regard to closers, with free agents such as Wood, Francisco Rodriguez, Brian Fuentes and Trevor Hoffman all likely to change teams, and there always seems to be a couple of other stoppers traded along the way as well. There's going to be a lot of movement to assess at this critical fantasy position all winter long.

I'm guessing the ambulances were because they thought he had a serious mental disorder or something? Maybe they thought he was schizophrenic, but 8 police cars does seem overkill xD
Anyway, my first day back last weekend went pretty good, the mall has calmed down so much since I left during December, but it's hurting our sales drastically. Also, there's six people working there now including myself, one girl gave her two week notice but is pretty much not even coming anymore and another one is looking for another job since it's a 45 minute drive for her.
My manager hasn't even been there a month and I can tell he hasn't done retail before, he's done restaurant management but it's a little different. He seems pretty desperate to get more people in, and I'm just hoping he doesn't start hiring nutcases. He legitimately didn't see a reason as to why we couldn't hire a 16 year old, until my coworker pointed out the fact it's illegal to have a 16 year old working alone or something along those lines, and he shut up. :p

Langston professor to run for president of Liberia
LANGSTON, Okla. (AP) - A Langston University professor says he's returning to his African homeland of Liberia to run for president.
Edmund Kloh came to the United States in 1975 to further his education and has taught English at the rural Logan County university for more than a decade. He says he now feels called to return to Liberia to run for the presidency, even though he has no political experience or financial support.
He says he wants to make sure food and schools are available to everyone in his war-torn homeland and that he can help bring democracy to Liberia, using what he's learned as a teacher.
Kloh plans to leave for Liberia this summer to prepare for next year's election. Current Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has said she plans to run for re-election.

Oil and Gas Management:
Federal Oil and Gas Resource Management and Revenue Collection In Need of Stronger Oversight and Comprehensive Reassessment
GAO-09-556T: Published: Apr 2, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 2, 2009.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In fiscal 2008, the Department of the Interior (Interior) collected over $22 billion in royalties and other fees related to oil and gas. Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Minerals Management Service (MMS) manage federal onshore and offshore oil and gas leases, respectively. Acquiring a federal lease gives the lessee the rights to explore for and develop the oil and gas resources under the lease, including drilling wells and building pipelines that may lead to oil and gas production. This statement focuses on findings from a number of recent GAO reports on federal oil and gas management. GAO has made numerous recommendations to Interior, which the agency generally agreed with and is taking steps to address. However, two important issues remain unresolved. Specifically, GAO made one recommendation and one matter for Congressional consideration that together call for a comprehensive reevaluation of how Interior manages federal oil and gas resources. Interior has not undertaken such a comprehensive review and until this is done, the public cannot have reasonable assurance that federal oil and gas resources are being appropriately managed for the public good.
In recent years, GAO has conducted numerous evaluations of federal oil and gas management and found many material weaknesses. Specifically: In September 2008, we reported that (1) Neither BLM nor MMS were meeting statutory obligations or agency targets for conducting inspections of certain leases and metering equipment used to measure oil and gas production. (2) MMS's royalty IT system and processes lacked several important capabilities, including monitoring adjustments made by companies to their self-reported production and royalty data and identifying missing royalty reports in a timely manner. (3) MMS's use of compliance reviews, which are more limited in scope than audits, led to an inconsistent use of third-party documents to verify that self-reported industry data are correct. (4) MMS's annual reports to the Congress did not fully describe the performance of the royalty-in-kind program and, in some instances, may have overstated the benefits of the program. (5) The federal government receives one of the lowest shares of revenue for oil and gas resources compared with other countries and Interior has not systematically re-examined how the federal government is compensated for extraction of oil and gas for over 25 years. In October 2008, we reported that (1) Some states do more than Interior to structure leases to reflect the likelihood of oil and gas production, which may encourage faster development. In June 2005, we reported that (1) BLM has encountered persistent problems in hiring and retaining sufficient and adequately trained staff to keep up with workload as a result of rapid increases in oil and gas operations on federal lands and poor workforce planning. In recent reports, GAO has made a number of recommendations to improve the accuracy of royalty measurement and collections and the overall management of federal oil and gas resources. Interior generally agreed with our recommendations and is trying to implement them but implementation is ongoing and it is too early to assess the effectiveness these efforts.

What is the difference between "Post Locked" and "Post Closed" ?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.

What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
closed: no new answers can be added to a question.
locked: the post cannot be manipulated or interacted with in any way by anyone other than a moderator.
UPDATE -- to make this easier to understand, we modified lock so that when you lock a question, it also prevents new answers from being added. Locking answers behaves the same as before.
