Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
WINNSBORO, S.C. — Mitt Romney tried doggedly Wednesday to sidestep the political furor he had started a day earlier by revealing he pays federal taxes at a rate of about 15 percent, less than millions of middle-income American families. Newt Gingrich, his main rival in this weekend's South Carolina primary, poked at Romney anew and disclosed he personally pays more than twice that.
Just before Saturday's South Carolina voting, Romney is trying to wrap up his push for the Republican nomination, but it's been anything but smooth. He's spent nearly two weeks answering questions and criticism about his personal wealth and tenure at Bain Capital, the private equity firm he founded, and those subjects are sure to come up again in Thursday night's debate.
Gingrich slapped at the GOP front-runner, saying in Winnsboro that he himself paid 31 percent of his income in taxes for 2010, more than twice what Romney said he paid. Gingrich's campaign said the 31 percent was the effective federal rate on income, apparently not including Social Security payroll taxes.
Gingrich told reporters that he is not criticizing Romney for paying a tax rate below what most wage-earning Americans pay. Gingrich has proposed a plan that would give Americans the option of paying a 15 percent flat tax — which he notes is the same rate Romney is citing.
"My goal is not to raise Mitt Romney's taxes but to let everyone pay Romney's rate," Gingrich said.
While a supporter rushed to Romney's defense, the former Massachusetts governor ducked the issue entirely on Wednesday, making no mention of his tax returns or tax rate during a rally at Wofford College here and declining to take questions from the news media. Instead, he delivered his standard campaign speech and assailed Gingrich, who has been running second in opinion polls in South Carolina.
Romney aides, too, refused to comment about his tax returns or details of his tax rate when pressed. His campaign held a conference call featuring surrogates who tried to cast Gingrich, the former House speaker, as an unreliable leader, but the wealth and taxes issue showed no signs of going away.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has endorsed Romney, sought to help by defending Romney's tax status on TV. But that may have backfired when Christie on NBC's "Today Show" suggest Romney put out his tax returns "sooner rather than later."
"It's always better in my view to have complete disclosure, especially when you're the front-runner," Christie said.
After months of resistance and under pressure from Republican presidential rivals, Romney now says he will release tax information for 2011 — but not until April, close to the tax filing deadline and when, presumably, the GOP race will have been decided.
Romney disclosed for the first time on Tuesday that, despite his wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars, he has been paying in the neighborhood of 15 percent, far below the top maximum income tax rate of 35 percent, because his income "comes overwhelmingly from investments made in the past." During 2010 and the first nine months of 2011, the Romney family had at least $9.6 million in income, according to a financial disclosure form submitted in August.
Further focusing attention on his wealth was Romney's offhand remark to reporters that his income from paid speeches amounted to "not very much" money. In the August disclosure statement, he reported being paid $373,327.62 for such appearances for the 12 months ending last February, a sum that alone would him in the top 1 percent of U.S. taxpayers.
It recalled other politically awkward moments for Romney in which he unintentionally put a spotlight on his own wealth, including his offer to wage a $10,000 bet with Texas Gov. Rick Perry during a GOP debate last month over a disagreement on health care policy. He also joked to a group of voters that, since leaving Bain in 1999, he has been "unemployed."

Your plugin inserts the google code just fine, but.. I have a problem.
I created an experiment with two pages. The pages have the same title ('Title') but different content ('Text A' and 'Text B'). The code works and Google serves me version B. The problem I have is that my 'Recent posts' and category pages now show two similar posts, and visitors can choose which version they want. Besides that is looks stupid, it also ruins the experiment.
Is this something your plugin was intended to deal with, or should I look for a workaround?

In recent years physicians have used a variety of laboratory studies as confirmatory tests in the diagnosis of brain death. The most widely used test has been the EEG. However, with the development of newer technologies capable of measuring other parameters of brain functions, other laboratory studies are playing an increasingly important role in confirming brain death. In this article, we discuss the role of one of these newer tests, the radioactive brain scan, and compare its advantages and limitations with the EEG.

The Middlebury Union High School football team defeated South Burlington at the Divsion I state championship game in Rutland on Saturday evening. The undefeated Tigers, who beat South Burlington earlier this season, fell behind early, 6-0, but rallied to carry a 13-6 lead into halftime. MUHS scored twice in the second half and won 26-6.
See a full account of the game and photos in Monday's Addison Independent — online and on your newsstand.
FERRISBURGH — The Vermont State Police announced on Thursday that troopers continued their search for missing Ferrisburgh 17-year-old Hailey Rheaume-Fox, who was first reported missing on Oct. 11.
Det. Sgt. Sam Capagrossi said that since the time of her disappearance it was believed Rheaume-Fox was in the Burlington area with friends avoiding police. Further, police believed she was in contact with her mother through text messages since running away.
ADDISON COUNTY — Having one's driver's license suspended can be the punishment that keeps on penalizing. Not having access to a vehicle for a substantial length of time can prevent the offender from getting to doctors' appointments, to family events and — ironically — to a job to earn the money to pay off fines in order to have the driver's license reinstated.
In autumn, when the trees are bare and the land can be read as easily as a book, the headstones curve and dip along the subtle contours of the hillside, the markers as precisely aligned with their neighbors as soldiers standing in formation. But unlike stones in practically every other cemetery in Vermont, none of these leans or lists, no matter winter's violence. At the Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Randolph, Bob Durkee's job is to see that they don't.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen met on Tuesday night and formally accepted a petition from resident Jeff Margolis that calls for a citywide vote on whether Vergennes residents back or oppose the proposed Vermont Gas Systems pipeline that would run through Vergennes and other Addison County communities.
After accepting the petition on Tuesday, aldermen set a Dec. 10 vote on whether residents agree with their support of the pipeline.
ADDISON COUNTY — Jean Fifield and Mary Smith are arguably two of the best delivery drivers in Addison County. What other food delivery driver will check your mail and even sit with you while you eat if you'd like company?
The pair delivers for the Champlain Valley Agency for Aging's Meals on Wheels program, which delivers hot, nutritious lunches and suppers to seniors who are unable to prepare their own meals.
BARRE — Each Vermont History Expo has featured a Vermont artist. For Expo 2014, the Vermont Historical Society has chosen Anne Cady of New Haven. Her painting titled "Thanks for Helping" will be used as the signature artwork for Expo. Using art to represent Vermont History Expo is especially fitting this year, given that the Expo theme is "Artists and Artisans: Vermont's Creative Heritage."

Report – Resident Evil: Racoon City announced in US OXM
According to a StickSkills report, former SOCOM developer Slant Six's much speculated Resident Evil effort has been unveiled in the latest edition of Official Xbox Magazine in the US.
Titled as Resident Evil: Racoon City, as rumoured beforehand, the game ses you on opposite sides of the spectrum as members of the Umbrella Security Services Squad rather than BSAA.
Unlike the latter, where you just take out zombies, gunning for Umbrella is all about destroying evidence and killing T-Virus survivors from the 1998 Racoon City outbreak.
There are two other factions to make a "three corner conflict" according to Capcom: US spec ops and bio-organic monsters created by Umbrella.
Your team is made up of four members: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre. Depending on who you pick to play as, its goals and aims will vary.
The magazine adds that "you'll be facing Umbrella-created horrors in between skirmishes" with each faction. It also says the game will allow you to "change the history of Resident Evil," with many characters from the series making appearances. You'll also be allowed to kill them.
The reports says that it'll be coming to 360 and PS3 later this fall.
Racoon City will no doubt be one of many efforts this year from Capcom to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Resident Evil, having announced earlier today it would release HD versions of Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica this fall for PSN and XBLA.

I need to understand the verions, patches, releases under each type of AIX OS. Any document or link to refer.
closed as not constructive by John Gardeniers, Chopper3 Jun 21 '11 at 13:39
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
AIX has a number of major releases. The current ones are 5.3, 6.1 and 7.1. Major releases have increased in frequency over the last few years, my perception is that IBM are moving them in-line with their Power processor versions (Power7 is current).
Within a major release, there are technology levels (TL's). A new TL is released once per year and includes support for new hardware as well as fixes. Throughout the year, each TL also has Service Packs (SP's). Service Packs only include fixes. IBM aims for four SP's per year. Each TL is supported for approximately 3 years, so will receive SP's for it's entire life.
This page has the full strategy.

News Marine Corps Disciplines Puppy Throwing Soldiers
posted by June 12 at 10:52 AMon
Remember this video?
I guess it was real after all.
Two US Marines have been disciplined for their role in an Internet video that showed a puppy being thrown off a cliff by a soldier in Iraq, the military said in a statement Thursday.
A press release from the US Marines Corps base in Hawaii said Lance Corporal David Motari [of Monroe, Washington], who was seen in the video hurling the puppy into a rocky ravine, faced expulsion for the incident.
Motari, part of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Kaneohe Bay, is "being processed for separation," the statement said. He also faced unspecified "non-judicial" punishment.
The government did not state whether Motari would be ejected from the Marines via catapult.

Borrowed Time (Paperback)
It is a golden evening of high summer in July 1990. Robin Timariot has set out that morning on what he has planned as a six-day tramp along part of Offa's Dyke. At the close of his first day's walk he encounters an elegant middle-aged woman who seems strangely out of place among the sheep and gorse of Hergest Ridge. They exchange only a few words of conversation, but their talk is enigmatic -- and unforgettable. A few days later, at the end of his walk, Timariot returns home to learn from the newspapers that, just a few hours after their meeting, the woman, whose name was Louise Paxton, was raped and then murdered, along with an artist, Oscar Bantock, who lived near by.
A man is swiftly charged and convicted of the crime, but a string of inexplicable events begins to convince Timariot -- and others -- that all is not what it seems. Timariot, fascinated by Louise Paxton's memory, is drawn irresistibly into the complex motives and relationships of her family and friends, searching against his better judgement for the secret of what really happened on the day she died.
The closer he gets to the truth, the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far too late he realizes that it may threaten many powerful people. So much so that anybody who uncovers it is unlikely to be allowed to live.
From the Paperback edition.

New clean air rule to help tame coal plant monster
Our guest blogger (via WR) is Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch.
Yesterday, the Obama administration proposed a sweeping plan to reduce power plant emissions that cross state lines and kill tens of thousands of Americans every year. The proposed Clean Air Transport Rule replaces the Bush administration's so-called "clean air interstate rule" (CAIR) that was shot down by the courts because it permitted so much interstate emission trading that even some power companies filed suit. A federal court ordered EPA to fix the shaky legal grounds of the Bush plan. Power industry pollution remains so pervasive "" and so often blows from one state to another "" that it basically handcuffs state efforts to reduce pollution within a state's borders. As EPA noted in a fact sheet:
Specifically, this proposal would require significant reductions in sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions that cross state lines. These pollutants react in the atmosphere to form fine particles and ground-level ozone and are transported long distances, making it difficult for other states to achieve national clean air standards.
Emissions reductions will begin in 2012. By 2014, "the rule and other state and EPA actions would reduce power plant SO2 emissions by 71 percent over 2005 levels," and power plant NOx emissions "would drop by 52 percent."
It has been nearly 40 years since passage of the landmark Clean Air Act of 1970. Since then, we've made significant progress towards cleaner air. Cars are dramatically cleaner. Lead is gone from gasoline. New trucks no longer belch out the familiar puff of smoke. And EPA statistics document the continuing overall trend of cleaner air with respect to traditional pollutants. Despite that progress, one major source of air pollution remains a notorious problem: the electric power industry. Indeed a recent assessment by Ceres, the Natural Resources Defense Council and several power companies described the footprint of fossil-fueled power plants:
In 2008, power plants were responsible for 66 percent of SO2 [sulfur dioxide] emissions, 19 percent of NOx [smog-forming nitrogen oxides] emissions, and 72 percent of toxic mercury emissions in the U.S. – not to mention that the electric industry also pumps out nearly 40 percent of the nation's heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions.
A recent Clean Air Watch survey noted that no fewer than 40 states and the District of Columbia have experienced unhealthful levels of smog so far this year.
The Obama EPA hopes to put the cleanup concept on a sound legal footing by limiting the amount of emission trading. Anyone interested in clean air should hope this plan holds up in court. EPA projects the plan could prevent up to 36,000 premature deaths a year – and bring monetary benefits of at least $120 billion a year – at an annual cost of about $2.2 billion.
It is a big step towards taming the environmental monster known as the coal-fired power plant. But it is only the first step. EPA plans nest year to propose rules to limit mercury and other toxic emissions including arsenic, dioxins and hydrochloric acid. The power industry has been evading toxic pollution requirements for two decades.
EPA has also pledged to follow up with a subsequent interstate pollution rule, if needed, as it surely will be, to make further reductions in smog-forming power plant emissions after the agency moves to set tougher national health standards for ozone, or smog, as it plans to do by the end of the summer.
— Frank O'Donnell (a Wonk Room cross-post)
JR: And then, of course, we need a price for CO2.
10 Responses to New clean air rule to help tame coal plant monster
This effort and related ones that internalize the costs of coal fired power generation are important in that they should drive some of the older "grandfathered" coal plants into retirement. This is not a substitute for a price on CO2 (which will push even more strongly for such retirements) but it's a necessary step along the way. Avoiding emissions of these other pollutants is a benefit to society that is often omitted in economic analyses of the costs of reducing carbon emissions, but this benefit can be substantial. And these regulations should force states and utilities to consider them in evaluating whether to keep old coal plants operating.
I wonder if any coal fired generation plant has ever been converted to run on natural gas? Would it involve more than just putting gas jets in the boilers after removing the coal specific machinery? Then the steam turbines and generators could just be used as is. Sounds a whole lot cheaper than building a whole new plant.
I know, I know. Saving money is monetary heresy.
from "The Hype about hydrogen" by Joe Romm, P 131:
"scientists are gaining a deeper understanding just how much aerosols have been shielding us from severe climate change. Sulfate aerosols which can come from sources such as coal plants, have a cooling effect"
so, good and bad.
The corner we are allowing coal and oil companies to back us into is getting smaller isn't it?
@catman306 — by way of interesting timing, the American Public Power Association put out a big report today on what it would take to basically convert all coal-fired generation to natural gas. They put the cost of just replacing the plants at $335 billion (this doesn't include new pipeline capacity, new storage capacity, new production wells, etc). I don't see any mention of how many previous coal-to-gas conversions have occurred, but they claim most involved completely replacing the coal unit with a new gas-fired unit, rather than retrofitting/converting, though they say it is technically feasible.
Maybe people like me give spin doctors a reason to be employed? Do you suppose that maybe artificially raising the costs of conversion of coal plants to gas will keep that possibility out of American consciousness? And maybe the owners of coal stock don't own power utility stock?
Why do I have so much trouble believing anything that comes from the American Public Power Association? Why do I need to be a member to read their daily releases?
But I will say I'm not a lawyer, either.
Try this link. It's the entire report, but I'm pretty sure it's publicly accessible. They buried the link on their front page.
So the biggest reason is that a boiler conversion from coal to natural gas would result in a 10 to 15% reduction in fuel efficiency. And, of course, the time value of moneys used to build the original coal plants even though almost all of their physical plant could be left in place and reused. (page 87)
Those are real reasons, but only economic reasons, for the unpopularity of converting coal plants to gas plants at the boiler level. Not much mention of the benefits to the atmosphere and environment of not burning so much coal.
Please don't let the idea of converting coal boilers to natural gas get out there!
I believe gas turbines are a considerably more efficient way to generate electricity than gas fired boilers. But since we can't build turbines instantly it might be helpful to convert some coal plants to gas in the interim.
From what I hear, the specifications of pretty much all of the gas and coal components differ, including for what sound like commodity items like turbines and boilers. Add to that the fact that older components are less efficient and more maintenance intensive anyway, and it might not be very practical to retrofit coal to gas.
Better to just recycle all that metal and use it to build solar heliostats.
Combined cycle gas turbines are very efficient. Close to 60%, I believe. Conventional pulverized coal boilers are about 35%, though some of the more efficient newer ultra-supercritical PC plants are over 40%.

I've been asked to take over management for an existing site, which includes a wordpress blog, which I have no prior expierence with.
The permalinks are pointing to the "archives" folder, which according to the documentation is correct. The blog folder, however, also contains a "archive" folder (note the missing 's').
When a user clicks a permalink, they are directed to a "300 multiple choices" error page. If the resulting url is changed from "/blog/archives/" to "/blog/archive/" the corrrect page appears.
Any idea how I would go about fixing this? The documentation mentions a .htaccess file which this site lacks.
To sum up, this site contains a archives and a archive folder.
New pages are being writting to both.
Permalinks are pointing to archives, which don't work.
Altered links to archive do work.

The last day of January, three hours out of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, and I am driving across a snowy Indiana landscape under a darkening sky to fulfill a speaking assignment. Having written a book titled The Idea of a Catholic University, I have given several talks sponsored by the Commonweal Speakers Program at Catholic colleges and universities. Tonight's talk, on the relation of Catholicism to higher education, is at St. Joseph's College in Renssalaer, Indiana.
Driving instructions: "Off Interstate 65 onto Indiana 114; turn on Main St.; the college gate is just opposite the Walmart." It is 5 p.m. I pass a line of barren trees and spot the looming towers of a large church to the left and a scattering of academic buildings to the right. This is St. Joseph's, founded in 1889 by the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Today the college has a thousand students and a student-faculty ratio of fifteen to one. Sixty-eight percent of students live on its 180-acre campus; 47 percent are Catholics.
Whether or not anyone learned anything from my talk that evening, I learned a great deal at St. Joseph's about actually doing Catholic higher education. It is all well and good to write a book about the idea of...

I have two tricky questions:
1) How can I automatically hide the navigation when only a single slide is in the slideshow?
2) If no matching slideshow slug, what would be the method to "look back in the page ancestry" and display the topmost ancestor's slideshow instead? I am looking into making "section" slideshows, if that makes sense. Slideshows that display on every page in a "Section" - example: all pages and sub pages in the "about us" section of a website.
My current code displays a slideshow based on page slug:
if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow($post->post_name, "width: 1024, height: 658" ); }
I believe we should need to integrate something based on this, but I cannot quite get it:
echo get_page(array_pop(get_post_ancestors($post->ID)))->post_title;

Meanwhile, this morning Kucinich has a few things to say about Bush's recent WWIII comments. From a Kucinich press release:
"The White House rodeo cowboy has gone dangerously too far and precipitously too close to igniting the war he claims to be trying to avoid," Ohio Congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said today. "You can worry about the Apocalypse, or, you can ensure it."

Hi all,
I want to start a blog network (usin subdomains) but on my hosting I don't have access to httpd.conf to enable wildcards domains.
Is there a way to get it work without root access?
Subdomain blogs won't be created by users, but only by me. So there will be a small number of those.
I can create manually subdomains but I can't figure out how to get wordpress work properly.
For example:
I've installed wordpress on http://www.domain.com
I've enabled the multisite option and created the network
I've created a subdomain blog1.domain.com
In wordpress i've created a new blog called blog1
How can I assign blog1.domain.com to this new "blog1"?
Thanks a lot

I'll see if I come across any comparisons between single encode bitrate and transcoded bitrate, but at low bitrates, the degradation is of a different nature.

I'm proud to announce that I'll be taking part in next exhibition at the National Gallery of Jamaica. Digital media has arguably been the fastest growing field in contemporary visual art and an area of major innovation and experimentation. The Caribbean has been no exception and many younger artists are engaging and exploring new media such as animation, GIFs, video installations, digital illustration, computer graphics and web based art. Digital celebrates digital art forms in all digital media produced by artists based in the Caribbean and its diaspora and also encourages the development and recognition of such media in the Caribbean.
Media Masters, tells the rags to riches story of Jamaican singjay Gully Bop, aka Robert Lee Malcolm. Discovered in 2012, down and out and working as an electrical fan repair man in di gully. Free style master Bop was filmed by a music producer, Nikimo Palanche, who posted the clip on youtube. The post went viral and so did Gully Bop's career. Since being discovered Bop's world has changed dramatically. International travel, a fashion overhaul and a tumultuous relationship with his now ex-manager Shawna Chin.
Jamaican choreographer Latonya Style and I have been working collaboratively on the Stylish Moves Zines since 2013. Our latest collaboration, Stylish Moves Vol 3 is focused on Queen Power. It's a rallying cry connecting into the core principles of Latonya's signature collection of 'Stylish Moves' inspiring women to become more Stylish, Confident, Strong Queens.
In celebration of our 3rd year of collaboration we've printed revised editions of Vol 1 & 2. All 3 zines are available shop
While Drake's Hotline Bling was taking over the internet I was commissioned by Large Up to create a piece that celebrated the much talked about Drake & Jamaican/Canadian choreographer Tanisha Scott version of Jamaican dance Log On. I created both an animation and illustration that were featured in the article Drake X Dancehall and across social media. Read the article here.

I do not know if other cultures are as obsessed with surveys as ours seems to be, but I do know most surveys I read of affect me very little. For a survey to touch me, it's got to practically hit me in the forehead.1 Comment
Here I sit, 12 hours to go before the 9-in-1 Elections 2014. If I make print as I hope, you are reading these words with, as the newscasters say, "the results now all in." On the eve of the election, I am weighing the situation, trying to be brave as I share a few impressions about what has happened here these recent days.1 Comment
I promised to soon return to last week's topic of student reactions to a certain type of examination. I've decided that "soon" means today.
As I prepare a mid-term examination these days for students in a survey course in American Literature, I am quite conscious of a doubt that's been nagging at me the past three or four years.
My Facebook screen recently brought a photo from California that put a smile on my chops. It showed a little boy, perhaps seven or eight years old, the son of a treasured former student. He was all fixed up in his Halloween costume. I so concluded because "Trick or Treat" appeared above the picture.
With a ban on religious instruction, which today affects families with children in more than 2,000 schools in Xinjiang, China deserves more public attention, I fear, than it is getting. Reasons easily come to mind to explain why international (and local) media are not rushing to cover the story. A brief word first, however, on the news itself.
I just looked up "aggressive" in a fat dictionary which promises in a blurb on its cover to help writers to improve their efforts (hmm). The scholars there split their definition into two parts.
Commentators in the media are expressing generally positive views on the cautious first steps that nearly 200 Catholic bishops, priests and lay persons have taken in recent days at what is shaping up to be a groundbreaking meeting in Rome, called a synod. The steps involve lengthy discussions, followed by straight from the shoulder feedback from participants representing a wide gamut of personal, theological, and social views on the concept of family.
Responding in part to space I recently offered to two common English words ("We must distinguish between studying and learning English" 9-28-14) a friend wants me to say more here on language related issues. Her wish reached me after last week's attention to the term "decency" appeared, albeit in a social, not to say political context ("On decency and the HK protests" 10-5-14).
Last week I pushed the envelope here a bit by insisting that native speakers of English may use the verbs "study" and "learn" in different ways. There are also subtle differences in usage between "courtesy" and "decency." As a reality in life and not merely a word, "decency" is the tougher to define.

Energy Markets:
Analysis of More Past Mergers Could Enhance Federal Trade Commission's Efforts to Maintain Competition in the Petroleum Industry
GAO-08-1082: Published: Sep 25, 2008. Publicly Released: Sep 25, 2008.

During the late 1990s, many petroleum companies merged to stay profitable while crude oil prices were low, and in recent years mergers have continued. Congress and others have concerns about the impact mergers might be having on competition in U.S. petroleum markets. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the authority to maintain competition in the petroleum industry and reviews proposed mergers to determine whether they are likely to diminish competition or increase prices, among other things. GAO was asked to examine (1) mergers in the U.S. petroleum industry and changes in market concentration since 2000 and (2) the steps FTC uses to maintain competition in the U.S. petroleum industry, and the roles other federal and state agencies play in monitoring petroleum industry markets. In conducting this study, GAO worked with petroleum industry experts to delineate regional markets and to develop estimates of refinery gasoline production capacity in order to calculate market concentration. GAO used public and private data as well as interviews for its analyses.
More than 1,000 U.S. mergers occurred in the petroleum industry between 2000 and 2007, mostly between firms involved in crude oil exploration and production. According to experts and industry officials, mergers in this segment were generally driven by the challenges associated with producing oil in extreme physical environments, such as deepwater, as well as increasing concerns about competition with national oil companies and access to oil reserves in regions of relative political instability. Industry officials from the segments of the petroleum industry that transport, refine, and sell petroleum products reported that mergers were generally driven by the desire for greater efficiency and cost savings. Despite these gains, mergers have the potential to enhance a firm's ability to exercise "market power," which potentially allows it to raise prices without being undercut by other firms. GAO measured market concentration with an index that FTC uses, where market regions with few, large firms are considered to be highly concentrated and have a greater potential for market power. Conversely, market regions with many smaller firms are considered to have low or moderate concentration and generally have less potential for firms to exercise market power. GAO found that market concentration changed little but varied by industry segment and market region. GAO found that market concentration among firms involved in crude oil exploration and production was low and stable between 2000 and 2006, while concentration among refiners was generally moderate across those years. Regarding wholesale gasoline suppliers on a state-by-state basis, 35 states were moderately concentrated in their number of wholesale gasoline suppliers in 2007, and this number was fairly stable from 2000. GAO found that the following 8 states had highly concentrated wholesale gasoline supplier markets in 2007: Alaska, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. While FTC reviews evidence and considers a number of competitive factors to predict a merger's potential effects on competition in its analyses of proposed mergers, it does not regularly look back at past merger decisions to assess the actual effects of the merger on competition or prices after the merger has been completed. Although these reviews can be resource intensive, experts, industry participants, and FTC agree that regular retrospective reviews would allow the agency to better inform future merger reviews and to better measure its success in maintaining competition. In addition to FTC's efforts in reviewing proposed mergers, other federal agencies, including FTC, and some states also monitor aspects of petroleum industry markets. For example, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission monitors petroleum product pipeline markets and regulates pipeline rates accordingly.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FTC agreed that regular retrospective merger reviews would allow the agency to better inform future merger reviews and to better measure its success in maintaining competition. As of April 2010, FTC completed an additional retrospective analysis of a petroleum industry merger. In addition, FTC has begun initial work on two more retrospective analyses and will continue conducting such reviews as staff time permits.
Recommendation: To enhance FTC's effectiveness in maintaining competition in the U.S. petroleum industry, and to make efficient use of FTC's resources, the FTC Chairman should lead efforts to conduct more regular retrospective analyses of past petroleum industry mergers.
Agency Affected: Federal Trade Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2012, FTC official said that they are currently using risk-based guidelines to determine when to conduct retrospective analyses and are currently formalizing these guidelines in writing.
Recommendation: To enhance FTC's effectiveness in maintaining competition in the U.S. petroleum industry, and to make efficient use of FTC's resources, the FTC Chairman should lead efforts to develop risk-based guidelines to determine when to conduct them.

Guestbook comments from the manager
My husband and I enjoyed staying at the "Joy" Chalet so much. We took everything we thought we would need. Turns out all we need was our clothes. Everything we could have dreamed of needing was in the chalet. The attention to detail, from plastic wrap to the hair dryer was provided, it was absolutely amazing. The chalet is so beautiful. We appreciated the brochures of all the places to eat, the activities(and there is a lot to do) and maps. We will most definitely be back there. Stephanie is absolutely the nicest lady in ashville. She is very attentive to all your needs. So glad we chose ashville and the "Joy" Chalet.

Joy Chalet. A beautiful relaxing environment!!!
What a gorgeous home! We were so delighted that the Joy a Chalet was close to Asheville. We love the quiet neighborhood and the home is beautifully furnished with all that you need. We used the crock pot to make a pot roast which was awesome to come home to after a long day of hiking trails. The king sized bed was super comfy
And so we're all the lovely touches in the living room. We highly recommend staying in this home. We look forward to many more mountain trips. Thank you !! Tina and Bill

Excellent place to relax
If you want to relax and enjoy some peace and nature, This cabin has everything you need. Great place to go.
Excellent place!
The joy chalet was a great place for our get away trip. The location is close enough to town to enjoy Asheville without any travel concerns while at the same time tucked away for moderate privacy. Great little back yard and a short trail, perfect for our dogs. The house is well maintained and well equipped. Bed was comfy. Added bonus was fireplace and hot tub. Recommend. We fully expect to stay here again.
Expectations Exceeded!
My wife and I were extremely pleased with our stay at the Chalet. Everything was clean, neat, and in perfect working order. The cable and wi-fi service throughout the unit was good to have to keep in touch with friends and world events. And added touch was the labeling of the various light switches throughout unit so you knew exactly how to turn on the various lights both inside and out. Keep up the good work!

In my opinion, these are just biscuits in a muffin tin and not all that great. Mine were a little dry.
I made these to go along with my dinner tonight and they came out great. Thank you! Karen
These are wonderful. So easy to make. I can't believe I made these...they turned out perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your great recipe. I'll be making these again, into the keeper box it goes.
