Does Murdoch matter?
I want you to imagine a country in which the foreign-born owner of what was to become the world's biggest selling newspaper was also a government minister.
It's a country in which the then prime minister offered a government job not only to one newspaper tycoon, but to two -- the second said no thanks, so he became the government's "director of propaganda" instead.
It's a country in which a former Cabinet minister stood down as an MP and immediately became the editor of a major broadsheet newspaper.
You get the picture. This was Britain for much of the 20th century. Lord Beaverbrook, owner of the Daily Express, was made minister of propaganda in 1918 and was a senior minister in Winston Churchill's Cabinet during the Second World War. Lord Northcliffe, owner of both The Times and the Daily Mail, was appointed director of propaganda by Lloyd George. Bill Deedes was the Tory MP and Cabinet minister who in 1974 became editor of the Daily Telegraph.
And while we're at it, how about Cecil King, another mighty media mogul, then owner of the Daily Mirror, who in the 1960s became so convinced that the prime minister, Harold Wilson, was a danger to the country that he started discussing with MI5 and Lord Mountbatten, apparently in all seriousness, a plot to overthrow the Wilson government?
All of which bring us, naturally enough, to Rupert Murdoch, and his two riveting days of testimony to the Leveson inquiry. Controlled, just, self-deprecating, sometimes, sardonic, frequently. This was a man whose every answer seemed to carry an implied sub-text: "You know, this really is the most appalling waste of my time ..."
Perhaps you regard all the hoo-ha over Murdoch and Leveson as no more than journalistic navel-gazing and typical media self-regard. While the country slips back into recession and thousands of people worry about losing their jobs, does it really matter if a media tycoon occasionally yelled at his editors, or if successive prime ministers tried to cosy up to him in the hope of a return favour or two?
Given our recent history, as outlined above, is Rupert Murdoch really such an ogre that he deserves the acres of newsprint and hours of air time that have been devoted to him?
You will, I am sure, make up your own mind. But if you believe that ordinary citizens have a right to know how their elected politicians operate -- and if you believe that the media have a duty to keep an eye on how they go about their business of governing the country -- then, yes, what we learned from Mr Murdoch surely does matter.
Mind you, some of what he said -- even though it was all said on oath, as if in a court of law -- has been directly challenged. The News of the World's former legal manager called his evidence yesterday "a shameful lie". Gordon Brown called his account of a telephone conversation between them "wholly wrong".
Lord Justice Leveson will, at some point, have to decide how reliable Mr Murdoch's evidence was. Will he accept the media mogul's repeated insistence that he never, ever asked for a favour from a prime minister? Or will he pay more attention to Mr Murdoch's assertion that the principle of "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" is simply the way the world works?
So here's one reason why I would argue that all this does matter. We have in place a regulatory system that's meant to ensure that media ownership does not become so concentrated that it acts against the public interest -- and that media owners are "fit and proper persons" to run a media operation.
The News of the World phone-hacking scandal, which is alleged to have involved criminal behaviour "on an industrial scale" (more than 40 arrests so far, although no charges brought as yet), emerged just as the Murdochs were bidding to acquire the whole of the satellite broadcaster BSkyB. That would have given them an even more commanding presence on the UK media scene.
It's now alleged that the man responsible for deciding how the government should handle that bid, the culture secretary Jeremy Hunt, may have been acting more as an advocate for the Murdoch bid than as a judge of it. If true -- and he denies the suggestion categorically -- it would make a mockery of the whole regulatory process.
It may well be true that with the advent of new media technologies -- the internet, and especially social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook -- traditional media owners have a lot less power than they once had. Information spreads these days without any need for a newspaper or a broadcaster.
But we'll always need someone to keep an eye on what governments are doing, and for that to be done honestly, we'll always need a free, diverse media, with no single owner exerting monopoly power.
Last July, when the Murdochs shut down the News of the World ("I panicked," Rupert Murdoch told Leveson yesterday. "But I'm glad I did"), I quoted Thomas Jefferson. Here he is again: "If it were left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."

An account supported by...?
'BBC presenter Andrew Neil, a former Sunday Times editor, said Mr Brown had vowed revenge against Rupert Murdoch, telling the media mogul: 'I will destroy you.'
Which may explain the relative sidelining of this episode by the BBC as perhaps the facts get assessed for that famous watertight oversight (ie: consignment to the memory hole of 'doesn't suit the narrative'). Or, as in this case, gets passed through that special filter of BBC editorial of what stays in vs. gets left out.
'if you believe that ordinary citizens have a right to know how their elected politicians operate'
I do. As I also believe I have the right to know about, say, publicly funded broadcasters' activities, who seem very keen on 'holding to account' but often less so when the spotlight turns. With an internal self-regulatory process of its own that seems to operate on the basis of 'we always get it about right'.
Luckily Levenson has exceptions.
Exceptions that, as some in the BBC might coin, 'critics are saying: unique ones'.
Using the word propaganda can often be... 'brave' to conjure up in such circumstances, especially around public institutions that get voted upon over the decades, year by year, vs. those that never have and, it seems, never will. Especially in vast concentrations of tribally-directed media monopoly power.
Who keeps an eye on the media who, by any measure, are unaccountable by vote or voluntary support? Paid for by the public but, using law and FoI exclusions, often laws only to themselves.
The public might be really interested in that, especially if theirs were being worked against, if they had the choice.

Yes we do yet he works for the company with the greatest monopoly BY FAR - BY MILES - the company that goes overboard with Leverson coverage trying to the minor competition closed (note wall to wall when Murdoch is involved and almost nothing when say the Guardian gets a mention). A company paid for by tax that attacks those trying to run a business. A company that is only watched over by a group of like-minded bubble-living liberal elite that fail entirely to redress the partisan drivel that is drip fed - very gradually but oh so persistently - to the already semi-brainwashed public. BBC News needs root and branch decontamination.

Part 1:
Yes, Murdoch matters, but so what?
There was something disgusting about phone hacking by Rupert Murdoch's News of the World. The News Corporation owned tabloid hacked the phone mails of SEVERAL THOUSAND citizens of Great Britain. Victims included celebrities, politicians, & even a murdered eleven year old kidnap victim. But that wasn't enough to generate type of criminal investigation of News Corporation that would topple Rupert Murdoch and his clan from the throne of the $30 billion News Corporation and into prison.
The current revelations of cable television hacking, laid out in detail by Australia's Financial Review and the BBC, provide a more concrete connection between outright criminality & Murdoch run media giant. This alleged criminal behavior involves hackers on the payroll of a former Murdoch controlled ISRAEL-BASED COMPANY, NDS, and the demise of cable television competitors in Great Britain, the United States, & Australia due to that activity.
These allegations are reinvigorating the institutional shareholders revolt that may be the end of the Murdoch clan's control of News Corporation.

Part 2:
Unlike the compromised privacy of citizens due to phone hacking, there is a concrete value that can be placed on the alleged cable hacking activity of the Murdoch controlled NDS . It's called monetary damages. Billions were lost by ventures that attempted to compete with Murdoch but were unable to do so due to compromised security that made their cable systems vulnerable cable piracy (i.e. stolen services).
On March 15, CISCO announced its intent to acquire NDS in late 2012.
Rupert Murdoch's investment helped create NDS in 1988. He acquired the company in 1992. That year, NDS hired the controversial Ray Adams as an operational security officer. Adams was a former commander for the London Metropolitan Police (the Met) in charge of criminal intelligence. He retired from the Met under a cloud of suspicion to sign on with security firm Kroll Associates & then - NDS. Adams colleagues at the firm included a former head of Israel's domestic intelligence, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, and an Israeli (Yossi Tsuria) who had plotted a terrorist bombing of the Dome of the Rock mosque in Jerusalem.
One of Adams first tasks was to set up a website that served as a haven for cable television encryption hackers. Thioc.com operated for years as a test for security of cable encryption programs, vital to maintaining the security of cable television signals to homes. When a cable firm's security programs are compromised, the firm is subject to undetectable free access to its services. The results can be ruinous as Britain's ITV and others discovered.
Comment number 6.At 15:14 28th Apr 2012, BluesBerry wrote:
Part 3:
There is no controversy as to the nature of Thioc.com. Both NDS and hackers admit that it was a hacker-friendly site. In an email obtained by the Financial Review, Ray Adams admitted that "I created THOIC and still consider it my baby" (email 1131 February 10, 2000). According to hackers using the NDS funded site ($170,000 annually according to an Adams email), they broke the security encryption codes of several Murdoch COMPETITORS. These codes were taken by other hackers and used to steal the services of Canal+, a French cable company, ITV, a British cable competitor of Murdoch's BSKYB cable network (which used Canal+ encryption codes), and others.
Lee Gibling, an NDS supported hacker, emailed Ray Adams in early 2001 showing Thoic.com members discussed how hackers could learn in its online forums to program software allowing them to hack into cable television.
A 1999 email shows an NDS looking into a potential hack of ITV's, a direct competitor to BSKYB.
In a Declaration to the United States District Court, Oliver Kommerling, noted hacker and employed by NDS, testified to the following:
NDS hacked the Canal+ smart card (usedby ITV)
NDS engineers created a method by which people would be able to circumvent the security measures of Canal+; and
NDS then arranged for Chris Tarnovsky to make the code available on the internet.
Comment number 7.At 15:16 28th Apr 2012, BluesBerry wrote:
Part 4: Much bigger that telephone hacking -
A Wired Magazine article in 2008 confirmed the role of Tarnovsky and the high stakes involved in the suit brought by Canal+ against NDS: Before Canal Plus's case against NDS died, Tarnovsky indicated to the company that Reuven Hazak had given him the Canal Plus code to post it on the internet. He reportedly told the French firm he would testify in the case, but later backed out, citing fear for his life and his family.
Tarnovsky may have been concerned due to the suspicious death by hanging of another of the Thioc.com hackers, Boris Floricic (Tron) in Germany who had allegedly been involved in a 1998 hacking operation.
The Canal+ suit against NDS posed a major risk for the Murdoch Empire. Canal+ claimed just what the hackers confirmed and filed suit for billions. Had NDS lost the suit, the damages would have been staggering due to this and other pending suits by other cable companies.
News Corporation acquired Canal+ from its French parent, Vivendi, and the suit ended. All of the material collected by Canal+ team became the property of NDS. NDS denies any wrong doing in this or any other case of cable hacking for profit.
The BBC's Panorama television show documented a much broader set of hacking activities by NDS including interviews with hackers.
Comment number 8.At 15:17 28th Apr 2012, BluesBerry wrote:
Part 5:
The London Metropolitan Police (the Met), has done nothing. BSKYB is located in London and any claimed illegal activities would fall under the Met's jurisdiction. The London Metropolitan Police bungled several promising investigations that could have broken the current phone hacking fiasco years ago by fingering Murdoch's News Corporation as the main perpetrator. A detailed deposition given to the phone hacking inquiry by a senior Met officer described how two top Met officials (the commissioner and assistant commissioner) stifled investigations when matters came too close to the powerful in London.
Ray Adams, the NDS security head who launched the hacker web site, was twice investigated for shielding gangsters before retiring from the Met. The damaging findings of the internal investigations were kept form a subsequent high profile investigation of a racially motivated murder in 1993 where Adam's behavior was called into question. Was the Met protecting Adams? Is is still protecting Adams?
The U.S Department of Justice has failed to follow up on the cable hacking charges, a major cyber crime despite the evidence brought forth in the Canal+ trial. In fact, in 1998, the U.S. Customs Service partnered with NDS in a sting operation to catch cable pirates in the state of Washington. The sting backfired when the stolen cable security codes became available to cable pirates. Direct TV, then owned by General Motors, lost millions as a result of the operation. Had Justice been a little more curious in 1998, the subsequent hacking and cable piracy would have been prevented.

Part 6: It's about NDS & Murdoch and it does matter:
Yesterday, James Murdoch voluntarily stepped down as Chairman of BSKYB. He said he was aware that his role as chairman could become a lightning rod for BSKYB and believed his resignation will help to ensure that there is no false conflation with events at a separate organization.
During the phone hacking phase of the Murdoch scandals, James had retained his position as BSKYB chairman with an 81% approval by shareholders (BSKYB has its own shares, 39% are controlled by Murdoch, who seeks to buy the remaining 61%). The recent revelations of alleged NDS CABLE SECURITY HACKING and damages started on March 14. Today, without any shareholder vote of disapproval, James stepped down.
The timing of the resignation by James from the immensely profitable BSKYB is RELATED TO THE EMERGINING CABLE PIRACY SCANDAL.
James Murdoch and brother Lachlan both worked for NDS in 2002?
What was their role in the company?
Wouldn't they be up to their necks in any illegal activities by NDS?
What did Rupert's sons, both tapped as heir apparent (at different times) to be chairman of News Corporation, tell their father about NDS? What sources other than his two sons were there for Rupert Murdoch to determine the nature of allegedly illegal cable piracy? While the Met, the US Department of Justice, and other legal authorities sit on the sidelines, shareholders seem to know the score (SOMEHOW) & want action NOW!
Comment number 10.At 15:32 28th Apr 2012, BluesBerry wrote:
Part 7: NDS DOES MATTER = BIGGER THAN PHONE HACKING:
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has been accused of orchestrating a global pay television piracy operation that successfully undermined its rival networks in Britain, the US, Europe and Australia.
The allegations were aired last week on the BBC's "Panorama" program and in a series of articles published by the Australian Financial Review. They follow the phone hacking scandal in Britain that remains the subject of a criminal investigation. The accusations of pay TV piracy are potentially EVEN MORE DAMAGING to News Corporation. While Murdoch's newspapers are central to his political power, his international pay TV interests generate the largest and fastest growing component of News Corporation's profits.
The BBC and Australian Financial Review (AFR) focused on the activities of NDS (News Datacom Services), an Israeli-based software company owned by News Corporation. In the 1990s, NDS established an "Operational Security" group tasked with ensuring the security of Murdoch's burgeoning pay TV interests. It aimed to prevent hackers and criminal gangs from cracking the encrypted codes and "smart cards" that are used to allow paying customers access to certain programs and channels.
Part of this work involved NDS recruiting hackers to crack its competitors' codes and security systems—in itself, not necessarily an illegal activity. NDS employees, however, are alleged to have also distributed the cracked codes on the Internet and encouraged the production of illegal smart cards that would allow people to access pay TV networks for free. As a result, it is alleged, News Corporation's rivals lost enormous revenue streams, forcing several of them into bankruptcy.
NDS's Operational Security was headed by Reuven Hasak, a former deputy director of the Israeli domestic secret service Shin Bet, and staffed with former senior police and intelligence operatives. Operational Security's activities, the Australian Financial Review noted, are particularly sensitive because it "operates in an area which historically has had close supervision by the Office of the Chairman, Rupert Murdoch."
The BBC's "Panorama" suggested that NDS's activities contributed toward the collapse of ITV's digital network in 2002.

´The Arrogance of Power´
This topic has really exploded !
From the time Dresden (old East Germany) was called ´the Valley of the uninformed´ as they could not receive West German TV but only Communist propaganda -- to the time where most British media was causing the UK public to be on ´the island of the uninformed´ --we can use the term ´the World of the uninformed´ with no tongue in cheek.
Perhaps the Social Media is our only hope ? Those with ´News Power´ are mostly ´symbiotic´ with political elites who actively prevent any improvements in the ´democratic process´ and prefer a ´Dumbing Down´of their societies.
Britain is in no way an exception to the rule.

'Death' please will your compare and contrast the consequence of media domination by the liberal media and the right wing media.
I tried to do this earlier (but was censored) by looking at a number of right wing press barons and the consequences of fleeting acquaintance with the truth to further their own views - mainly views that propelled nations into launching wars (Spanish American in the case a William Randolph Hurst and the recent adventures in the Iraq by helping to convince the American people that the Taliban was linked to Saddam Hussein's Iraq in the case of Murdoch's Fox News).
Can you name a war that was started by the liberal media? The liberal medias' wars are fighting back against tyranny - not being the tyrant!
I also remember extensive discussion of the role of the Croat nationalist press in creating the conditions for the Yugoslavian civil conflicts.
If you think that war is a good thing then support the existence of a right wing press - if not don't!
The balance you seek is dangerous. It is rather like saying, from a liberal perspective, that there should be equivalence between God and the Devil and both should have equivalent air time.
There can be no equivalence of good against evil and you must, I hope, therefore seriously reconsider your opinion on the matter.

Still rather governed by who 'controls' it, in terms of quality, quantity and, of course, 'editorial' (in, and out).
So things still get 'seeded' to taste, and then 'discussed', using two US-based social media entities.
Also one does note that on twitter, most BBC employees source and broadcast using seemingly 'private' accounts that have their affiliations plastered all over the bios (with URLs), and source 'followers' - an apt term) by constant referral to doing so on air. Yet by adding the magic phrase 'views are my own' the BBC is absolved of any culpability in their advocacy. Apparently. And uniquely for a public sector organisation. Not many in the private sector, unfunded by licence fee payers, would enjoy such a concession, and absolution.
I have pointed that out to a few who, in further examples of moving from propaganda to censorship, feel free to block whose views they don't want aired in their patch. All this has poor historical precedent. Speaking of which...

Wars are started by governments, democratic and otherwise. With or without the support of the public, egged on or cautioned by media, free or not.
A £4Bpa unaccountable entity I have no option but to fund with no vote on its conduct is not a force that seems democratically helpful in this context. Especially one that constantly advocates, and gains acolytes to the quaint notion that...

Mainly because I don't dance to the agendas of others, much as they may think I should.
I just look at stuff and crank eyebrows when things don't add up or seem less than accurate in how the information or education gets shared, especially from those who claim to hold others to account but get sniffy when the spotlight falls on them..
Headline: 'Murdoch 'not fit' to run News Corp'
Copy: 'Nor is that the only one of the MPs' conclusions...'
And then, later, at the end... dispassionately, as only befits the biographer of the man now in a bitter row with the boss of the entity in question 'The report's verdict that Rupert Murdoch is not fit to run a big international public company was not supported by four Tory MPs on the committee. The disclosure that the vote on this divided along party lines may lessen its force.'
I am unsure as to the accountability democracy and representation of a media monopoly I have no choice but to pay for, which has not and cannot be assessed by any means, including voting (that those who rule the land have to undergo on a regular basis), is well supported by 'reporting' such as this.

Always intrigued at how the BBC mods so many out for simply having views that the odd one does not agree with.
Meanwhile, I hope you are prepared to stand by that once it sinks in with the BBC whose views they are much more chilled out about, especially Mr. Lustig who, one presumes, does monitor his own blog.

What 'seems to be' getting translated into what is in some minds going to the issue, and indeed a responsibility of many media. But does not absolve the minds that allow themselves to be influenced and get selective in their opinions as a consequence. And to get quite dogmatically definitive in the process.
'Their blood is on your hands and on the hands of people like you!'
In this day and age it is as well to distinguish between what is known and what is claimed, which is propaganda in its own right whoever comes out with it.
Free speech allows you to say it (maybe even obsess about 'the truth' you choose to be served and then believe when I question pretty much all, from authority and media), and I applaud that as what you write can be seen and stand in the eyes of others for what it is.
However, as an entity with 'rules' that see many a post removed simply for being 'off topic' (when in fact it highlights the partiality at play in editorial or favoured vs. critical comment), once the system or author wake.. or catch up... on what is being oddly permitted in yet further example of variable standards here, they are in a bit of a pickle.
As are you, as tunnels are poor ways to get to appreciate the beauty, and sometimes dangers, that can exist around your journey.

There are limits to free speech. No sane society permits to advocacy of anti-social positions. This is bias, but a proper bias. Extremists always claim that they should not be silenced because of free speech even though they are advocating using their free speech to seek to injure.
We do not, for example, permit extremists to advocate murder or female circumcision. The position that you take on the necessary equivalence between good and evil is the same form of argument.

This whole argument boils done to the question which is encapsulated within the 'idea' of 'value free judgements' - and do they exist or not.
I always argue that they do not. Everything is mediated through our nature and life itself. Death is not the equivalent to life. Your argument, which boils down to arguing that the most heinous and extreme of views deserve equal treatment, is really a non-starter. Wake up and smell the cordite!

I confess I do, especially the latter (being over 40 FB is, of course, beyond me), the value of which I can only claim on personal experience. Yes, I do indulge in the odd less than 140 character soundbite, but it really serves (me at least) as a resource for shared factual URLs. As a debating chamber it is facile... and dangerous if taken seriously. Yet that is where the BBC sees its future. Take a look at the last Newsnight blog and see where it has directed, and what has been spawned elsewhere as 'faster', 'easier' and 'better' (I have contributed, but it is soul-destroying).
'I also suggest that BBC reporters who believe their journalistic ´calling´ is ´one sided analysis´-- should not be allowed (or should honestly refuse) to use the BBC to spread their (more than 400 character) bias.'
Fully agree, but sadly a boat long since sailed, over the horizon, holed, sunk and now lying at the bottom of the Marinas Trench. Pop over to the last several threads on 'The Editors' to see why.
'Personally, your pessimism is shared but hope is not extinguished -- after meeting ´free thinkers´ is such places as Haiti --under Papa Doc and his Tonton Macout.'
And on that positive note, I'll grab any glimmer that may exist. If noting that the author of this thread has revisited enough to 'move on', either unaware or uncaring of what he has instigated and left behind.

The General Synod, the legislative body of the Church which
is made up of separate houses for bishops, clergy and laity,
failed to reach the two-thirds majority required in all three
houses to pass the measure.
"It was carried in the house of bishops and clergy, but lost
in the house of laity. The motion having been lost ... we do
not proceed any further," said Archbishop of York John
Women already serve as Anglican bishops in Australia, New
Zealand, Canada and the United States, but the Church of
England, mother church for the world's 80 million Anglicans,
has struggled to reconcile the dispute between reformers and
traditionalists on whether to allow them in England.
The Church had already voted to allow women bishops in theory
but Tuesday's vote, on provisions to be made for
conservatives theologically opposed to senior women clergy,
needed to pass before women could be enthroned as Anglican
bishops in England.

The Queenstown Lakes District Council looks likely to acquire
the land surrounding the Glenorchy airstrip and start running
the strip.
This comes a little over a month after the QLDC took control
of the Wanaka airport, a move which cost $220,000.
The Glenorchy airstrip costs $20,000 a year to run but should
the council get involved, costs were likely to rise with
extra activity taking place at the airstrip, senior policy
analyst Ralph Henderson said.
"If you were to increase activity, it would almost certainly
cost more."
The non-manned airstrip is used privately by planes taking up
skydivers, top-dressing planes servicing Glenorchy farms and
aircraft flying to Milford Sound.
Mr Henderson said the biggest concern for locals was the
noise, as there would probably be more flights and other
"Part of the reason for concern is there would be a lot of
interest in using the airport, as it is cheaper to fly from
"That's hard for the community to understand," Mr Henderson
The land is owned by the Department of Conservation and the
airstrip is run by the Queenstown Airport Corporation.
The land was brought to the council's attention in March and
the QLDC has since been investigating the proposal to acquire
it. If it goes ahead, the council could use the airport
either commercially or privately.
Feedback so far had been "mixed" with arguments for and
against commercial use of the airstrip, said Mr Henderson. He
said the QLDC was in a "catch 22" as it would be involved
either way with resource consents for the land.
The council will decide if it will take ownership of the land
at its next meeting, which was scheduled for today, but is
likely to be postponed until August 30.

General Information
December 20, 2012
By: Kevin Massy
In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, the White Queen tells Alice that in her youth she could believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast. If she had been looking at recent projections from the International Energy Agency and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), she might have made it seven: sometime in the not-too-distant future, U.S. energy exports could be passing in through the Straits of Hormuz.
That the global energy landscape is changing is now conventional wisdom: technology developments in drilling techniques have unlocked vast quantities of previously uneconomic "unconventional" oil and gas, meaning that U.S. is on track to increase oil production this year at its fastest rate on record. Natural gas, a commodity we thought we would have to be importing just a few years ago, is now so abundant that it is too cheap to produce in many parts of the country, and there are plans afoot to export it in the form of LNG. Much has been made of the potential for U.S. energy independence – a chimerical concept both practically (we are still likely to import at least half of our crude oil for the foreseeable future) and economically (even in the unlikely event that the U.S. ever produces as many barrels of oil as it consumes, domestic consumers will still be exposed to price shocks as long the country remains integrated in the global economy).
But the economic and political benefits of the hydrocarbon boom are real. The 760,000 barrels a day of added domestic crude production in 2012 will make a significant dent in the trade deficit. The shale gas bonanza has spared us the fate of Japan, Korea and other countries that are paying four to five times as much as US consumers for their gas. On the geopolitical front, the strategic value of U.S. oil and gas for are attracting attention. Last week, Senator Richard Lugar unveiled legislation proposing that the U.S. use LNG exports to help our import-dependent NATO allies. Last month OPEC admitted that North America shale resources are likely to play an increasingly important role among its competition. And just this week, Anne-Marie Slaughter, former Director of Policy Planning at the U.S. State Department called the US energy resurgence "the most important geopolitical trend out there".
When looked at in the context of broader supply and demand trends, there is some justification for this claim. At the same time that U.S. supply is surging, domestic demand – like that elsewhere throughout the OECD – is leveling out or falling. Meanwhile, non-OECD demand for oil and gas is rising rapidly. While much is made of the role of India and China in this story, one of the fastest growing sources of demand are OPEC supplier states of the Middle East. At around 3 million barrels per day, Saudi Arabia's oil consumption is already approaching that of India. This summer, the kingdom was burning as much as 1 million barrels a day just for power generation at a huge cost of forgone revenue. The UAE, the country with the world's seventh largest reserves of natural gas, is already a net importer of the commodity. So is Kuwait, which already buys LNG during the summer months and is expected to need year-round supplies from 2013.
As populations, industries, and demand for (subsidized) electricity in the region is projected to grow, the trend is set to continue. Provision of sufficient electricity and water - made from power-intensive desalination facilities – to citizens will be all the more important as governments in the region try to ride out the aftermath of the Arab Spring. With tight fiscal budgets they can ill-afford to continue burning valuable oil to keep the lights on. While serious efforts are being made to develop and deploy civil nuclear power and renewable energy to meet the challenge, the scale of the requirements (an additional 30,000 megawatts by 2020 in Saudi Arabia alone), will require a significant contribution from natural gas. (Qatar, which is the world's largest producer of LNG and is realizing very handsome profits from selling it to Asia, has very little incentive to sell at a discount to its larger regional neighbors, who, in any case, have little inclination to look for favors from their smaller peer).
Which brings us back to the United States. The U.S. Department of Energy is currently reviewing 15 applications from companies looking to export LNG from the lower 48 states. It is already clear that the process for approval of these applications – especially to countries with which the US does not have a free trade agreement – will be a politically contentious one. And even if all applications are permitted, it is highly unlikely there will be a market for all of the volumes seeking export. Nevertheless, EIA recently doubled the amount of U.S. LNG exports it sees in the global market by 2027. Where that supply goes is still an open question, but it is sure to go to where it is needed. And few countries need it more than those in the Middle East. As the U.S. tries to manage its relative decline and reorient its foreign policy in light of the Asian "pivot" and the Arab Spring, it may find itself in the extraordinary position of being able to invert its signature strategic weakness of recent decades by using energy exports to the Middle East as a source of influence and economic strength. Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice might say.

News City Sets Deadline for Seattle's Last Newsstand
posted by August 18 at 14:53 PMon
The Seattle Department of Transportation has set a firm deadline for the man working to save Seattle's last newsstand. SDOT has given Ben Gent until August 27th to apply for permits so he can continue operating his newsstand at 3rd and Pike.
Gant's been battling with the city for over a year now.In November 2007, SDOT cited Gant for failing the maintain and regularly operate the newsstand. Gant filed an appeal with the city's hearing examiner, and was told he'd need to get the stand re-permitted before he could renovate it and officially reopen.
I wrote about Gant's fight to save the nearly-90-year-old newsstand, and last week the LA Times picked up the story.
If the city does not receive an application from Gant in the next nine days, SDOT spokesman Rick Sheridan says the city will refer the matter to the city attorney's office, which would likely get a court order to remove the stand. "At this juncture, its been several months since the hearing examiner ruled against Mr Gant," Sheridan says. "We feel weve been patient with him."
Gant says he's nearly ready to move forward with his permit applicationshe's waiting to hear back from a few architects and engineer.

Just wondering what everyone thinks, I'd personally give it to Cueto, I think he's earned it here.
Just wondering what everyone thinks, I'd personally give it to Cueto, I think he's earned it here.
I think Latos is probably the better pitcher, but I'd be willing to bet that Cueto gets the ball on opening day because he's the longer tenured Red and he had a great 2011.
Dusty will start Arroyo....or Volquez.
"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
I'm not a man of many words. Read my posts, and you'll see what I mean.
Some people are Optimists (They see the glass 1/2 full).
Others are Pessimists (They see the glass 1/2 empty).
Me, I'm a Realist. 1/2 empty IS 1/2 full.
* Attended the 1990 and 2010 Reds Division clinchers *
Watched the 2012 Clincher on FOX.
*Bat Votto SECOND, please?*
GO STEELERS - Go Buckeyes
Cueto, on years in the organazation.
Barring injury, NO way it is not Cueto.
Cueto was on of the best in the NL last year. As long as he is healthy I dont see how it could be anyone other than him. We will have to wait to see Latos a couple days later. Not a bad 1-2 either way.
Clearly it is gonna be and should be Cueto. The Kid was the best pitcher on the team last year and he deserves to honor of being the Opening day starter.
I have never been to a reds game
Cueto, for sure.

The Time Warner saga of pain continues. But there may be a happy ending. I am experimenting with a WiMax subscription that can be shared with several homes around me. We are considering all leaving Time Warner and sharing data off of a single hub. Down and up speeds exceed what we have now, and even with the loading factor will be better than the current situation. I see a potential service here that can help people cut the cord with monopolies like Time Warner.
Of all the companies I have dealt with in my 52 years on this planet, Time Warner is the absolute WORST of them all. The WORST. How this company is in business, and is profitable, is beyond me. The only reason, I believe, is that it has a monopoly in the majority of the markets that it serves. If people had more choice, I am sure they would move away from this company.

Awesome Power!The power of this processor is just too good. I've researched quite a bit lately and found this to be just the perfect thing! I've coupled this with an 8 GB RAM and HD6790 graphics card to make the best thing in my living room. Games, office work, etc. are no problems at all!
Mar 14, 2012
THE BEST OUT THERE...This is the best processor out there. It is superfast, excellent for gaming and unmatched by none in its segment.

not worth its priceI am using this cpu at my work place and mostly i do run multiple processes in parallel (for development purpose). *I do not play any games. But i found AMD FX6100 (which i am using at my home with similar configuration except the OS) much better in handling multiple paralelle processes. Cost of FX6100 is almost half i5's cost. I would not recommend this CPU for developers.

Awesome Graphics Power .Although , I have not bought this product From FLIPKART , But this is the best processor for non overclockers who want Raw CPU Power . I Have This Processor and This Processor Gives me 40 FPS in FIFA 12 on med rendering with no AA in my 20" LED Monitor . Note that I dont Have a Graphics Card . It also gives me 35 FPS in Burnout Paradise .

Why go for just good?I assume if you're here, you've got a fair bit of cash to shell out on a good processor. The i5 2400 costs 11k on flipkart- quite a hefty price. Add just one thousand more, flipkart also provides the top-of-the-line i5 2500k, the best i5 out now. If you can afford this, you can afford this. No doubt the 2400 is an excellent processor, but I'd say go for the 2500k.

Go For IT ! its a very very powerful processor !I didnt buy it from Flipkart but this processor is really really powerful and easily , take my word for it EASILY handles al the tasks given to it. Take it a heavy game or unzipping , executing etc. This Processor can handle it all !

Men vs. Women and "poly"

So you believe I am a anomaly then ?
I have dated from one side of my country to the other, also dated some people outside of my country. So I don`t see it as even a geographical thing. I`m nothing out of the ordinary as a person. I`m not a swedish supermodel, and I put my leg in my pants one size 7 foot at a time.
So I can`t be a magical, mythical princess.
25 men are ALL assholes ?
Lets say that is true. Every single one was a douchebag. Your and your Mrs. radar is on spot and every guy you attempted with, was a complete fuckknob.
Do you remember that saying about being the common denominator, in any group ?
Example :
If I have 10 people who are all pissed off with me, whats the common denominator in the group ? ME.
Now,..that doesn`t automatically make me wrong, anymore then it does you. There is however a responsibility to myself to sit back and take note of how I handled myself to get to a point, where I pissed off 10 people. Maybe it`s justified, maybe it`s not. People don`t like thinking outside the box, no matter how much they say they do. There are a billion variables, right ?
The one thing I DO know, is that the one thing I can mold, control, and work on,..is ME.
My unsolicited advice is to take the time to reassess your protocol and screening process. Also take the time to figure out what type of image you are projecting. We do attract to us, what energies we put out.
If you don`t like 100% of the males you attract, it`s time to take internal stock, and figure out why.
I cannot even agree that MOST men are douchebags. Thats a cop-out.
I can give you a self-example as well. As I mentioned before, half of all 'try for sex' contact I get, is from the female of a couple, hoping to befriend me, and get my guard down for some 3some desire she has with her man. Is this a bad thing ? No. It`s only a bad thing, if I tell them I have zero interest and they persist.
I have taken stock on why I attract that type of couple. I do understand my pictures, and 'playful' type of profiles that I write, are probably responsible for their hopefulness. I have made the decision to tone myself down a little, but ultimately, I like how I present myself, so I don`t blame them for wanting things.
I have choices. If I ever decided I want to attract couples, I would do a thorough inventory of how I present myself. I`d probably also NOT explicity state I was looking for that. Things tend to work better, when you people watch, and approach someone who isn`t 'on the hunt'.
Anyhow,..only my thoughts as someone who does not think most men are a-holes.

Bella at Midnight (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Bella has grown up thinking that she was just a simple peasant girl. But suddenly, Bella's world collapses. First, her best friend, Julian, betrays her. Then she finds out that she is, in fact, Isabel, the daughter of a knight who abandoned her in infancy. And now he wants her back. Bella is torn from her beloved foster family and tries to accept her new life with her deranged father and his resentful wife. But when she finds out about a terrible plot that threatens the kingdom, she sets out on a journey that will lead her to a destiny far greater than she could have imagined.
