The Arizona Fall League rosters were announced by Major League Baseball last week. The league allows up-and-coming prospects (usually from high-A and double-A levels, as well as recent high draft picks) to continue honing their skills away from the fall instructional leagues held by each organization. Play will begin in early October and run until late November with the six teams – each one made up of five organizations' players – continually facing each other.
Over the next couple of weeks, we'll take a look at some of the more interesting names on each team. The rosters that were recently released are preliminary rosters and some players will be added, while others could be removed. Over the past two weeks, we've looked at five teams:
Today, we finish up our Arizona Fall League preview with a look at the Surprise Rafters.
The Surprise Rafters (Click HERE for the entire roster)
New York AL, New York NL, Kansas City, St. Louis, Texas
Danny Gutierrez | RHP | Texas
Gutierrez was recently involved in a rare prospect-for-prospects trade between Texas and Kansas City, which netted the Royals outfielder Tim Smith and catcher Manuel Pina. Gutierrez entered 2009 as a highly-regarded pitcher in the Royals system but then he got hurt and reportedly had some run-ins with the organization. When he got on the mound this year, the right-hander produced solid numbers, including 20 hits allowed in 32.1 innings between high-A and double-A. He walked just seven batters.
Lance Lynn | RHP | St. Louis
A supplemental first round draft pick from 2008, Lynn has been on the fast track to St. Louis and spent the majority of the year in double-A. He also made one triple-A start. At double-A, Lynn allowed 117 hits in 126.1 innings of work, while posting rates of 3.63 BB/9 and 6.98 K/9. The right-hander doesn't strike out a lot of batters, but he'll put the ball in play, get his fair share of ground balls and does a nice job of keeping the ball in the park.
Evan Reed | RHP | Texas
Reed was nabbed in the third round of the 2007 draft as a college reliever who was expected to make it to the Majors quickly. However, the Rangers tried to make him a starter and that backfired in 2008 when he imploded at high-A. He moved back to the bullpen in 2009 and saved 25 games in high-A but was still a little too hittable while battling his command. Enthusiasm for his big-league role must be tempered to setup man.
Bryan Anderson | C | St. Louis
Anderson was on track to make his MLB debut in 2009, but he was derailed by an injury so he's looking to make up for lost time. The Cardinals organization isn't in the market for a big league starter with Yadier Molina already in the fold so Anderson is ticketed for a big league back-up role unless he gets traded out of town. He's an OK defensive player, but his strengths lie in his offensive skills and his ability to hit .280-300 from the left side.
Austin Romine | C | New York AL
Jesus Montero gets a lot of attention – and deservedly so – but Romine is a pretty darn good catching prospect in his own right. The 20-year-old prospect hit .276/.322/.441 with 13 homers and 11 steals in 442 at-bats at high-A ball. With a little more patience at the plate (6.2 BB%), he could jump into elite status.
Jeff Bianchi | SS | Kansas City
Bianchi received some love (including from yours truly) back in 2005/06 after he hit more than .400 over two rookie seasons while battling injuries (He accumulated just 140 at-bats). With the injuries perhaps having taken a toll on the youngster, Bianchi all but disappeared offensively for two seasons before resurfacing in 2009 in high-A and double-A. Combined, the 22 year old hit .308/.358/.435 with 22 steals. He still needs to work on his plate approach, though.
Ike Davis | 1B/OF | New York NL
Davis had a dismal pro debut in 2008 and took a lot of heat. He really turned things around this year and ended up in double-A. Overall, he hit 20 home runs in 429 at-bats after failing to hit even one in 2008 in 215 at-bats. Davis also hit for a solid average in 2009 (more than .300 in double-A) and he did a nice job of getting on base (11.2 BB%).
Marcus Lemon | 2B | Texas
He's not flashy, but Chet's son has had a pretty solid career so far and projects as a fringe regular, or big-league utility player. He struggled in double-A in 2009 but he's still just 21 years old and he swings from the left side (and has hit more than .300 against southpaws in his career).
Ruben Tejada | SS | New York NL
Only 19, the Mets pushed Tejada to double-A in 2009 even though he hit .229/.293/.296 in 497 high-A at-bats in 2008. He responded to the challenge and improved his stats to a line of .289/.351/.381 with 19 steals in 488 at-bats. Tejada also struck out just 12.1% of the time.
Tyler Henley | OF | St. Louis
Henley has a nice year as a 24 year old in double-A. The outfielder hit .303/.367/.482 with 13 homers and nine steals in 423 at-bats. He has fringe power for a corner outfield spot so he's likely to end up as a fourth outfielder, but he could end up getting some regular playing time if the cards fall in his favor.
David Lough | OF | Kansas City
Lough is still learning how to be a baseball player after spending time in high school and even college focusing on other sports like football. He's catching on quickly though and flew through high-A after hitting .320 in 222 at-bats. In double-A, Lough continued to perform well with a line of .331/.371/.517 with nine homers and 13 steals in 236. Lough is moving from sleeper to legit prospect.

INDIA: Isuzu firms up factory plans - report
By Graeme Roberts | 28 January 2013
Isuzu Motors is reported to have firmed up plans for India with a manufacturing plant in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.
Isuzu will spend US$185m on the greenfield plant that can make nearly 50,000 vehicles a year, The Times of India reported.
An announcement is expected on 15 March in Hyderabad, the paper said. The plant will be ready for production by 2015.
"The initial plan is to roll out MU7 Choiz (a sports utility vehicle with a three-litre engine) and V Cross, [a pickup truck with a] 2.5-litre engine," sources told the paper.
Homologation was completed a few weeks ago in Pune.
Isuzu, known for trucks, buses and diesel engines will concentrate on pick-ups and SUVs in India, the paper said. Isuzu's Panther SUV is rebadged by General Motors India as the Chevrolet Tavera in India and its diesel engines are installed in Hindustan Motors' Ambassador and Contessa car models.
Sri City, though located in Andhra Pradesh, is just on the outskirts of Chennai, close to parts suppliers serving that city's auto manufacturing hub, and also close to a large port.
"Andhra Pradesh is desperate to get an automotive factory. Remember the failed Vashishta Wahan, which was supposed to be an Indian arm of Volkswagen, but turned out to be a fictitious entity. They are going all out for a car plant, but nothing happened. Even with Isuzu, the original announcement was due in December-end, but has since been postponed to March," sources told The Times of India.

'Hating Breitbart' director to debate ACORN founder
Milwaukee native Andrew Marcus, whose documentary "Hating Breitbart" played in theaters last year, will debate the founding organizer of ACORN, the group Andrew Breitbart famously took on.
The debate with Wade Rathke - scheduled to air and stream online on Rathke's radio show on KABF-FM in Little Rock, Ark., where ACORN was founded - is scheduled for 10 a.m. May 17, according to a release from the movie's publicist. That same day, "Hating Breitbart" is scheduled to get a return trip to theaters (although as of Tuesday, none of those theaters is in Wisconsin) before coming out on DVD May 21. »Read Full Article
A classic performance by youth for Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
If you're worried about the future of classical music, you should really hear this weekend's Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert, which features both a conductor and soloist of the under-30 set.
Guest conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali led the orchestra through beautifully crafted interpretations of music by Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius on Friday evening. He and the orchestra were joined by cellist Andreas Brantelid in a deeply musical rendering of Dmitri Shostakovich's Concerto No. 1 for Cello and Orchestra. »Read Full Article
Chamber Theatre faces tragedy in 'October, Before I Was Born'

Election Center//
Welcome to your California Pro-Family Election Center
November 8, 2016 California General Election
October 24, 2016: Last day to register to vote
Note to Republican voters: You can vote your conscience on any of the following Republican presidential candidates, whether or not they have active campaigns, because they have all qualified as candidates on the California ballot: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, or Jim Gilmore. Visit SaveAmerica.com for our Report Card on the Natural Family to see where Trump, Cruz, and Kasich stand on important moral/family issues.
Why only one proposition? In 2011, the ruling Democrats in the Calfornia Legislature passed and Gov. Jerry Brown signed a prohibition of voter-initiated propositions going on the primary election ballot. However, that prohibition did not apply to propositions placed on the ballot by the Legislature. Thus, Proposition 50 is the sole statewide ballot measure this election. Expect many more ballot measures in the November 8, 2016 general election.
SaveCalifornia.com's positions on ballot measures are based on our pro-family values, which are founded on Biblical principles for the benefit of people everywhere. Scroll to the end of this page for our longer analysis of Prop. 50.
How the California Attorney General describes it: "Authorizes each house of Legislature to suspend one of its Members by two-thirds vote, and to require Member to forfeit salary and benefits while suspended; Prohibits suspended Member from exercising rights, privileges, duties, or powers of office, or using any legislative resources; Provides suspension may end on specified date, or upon two-thirds vote of Member's house."
What SaveCalifornia.com says: Because the ruling Democrats in today's era have refused to expel (kick out of office) state Senators or state Assemblymembers who are charged or indicted on suspicion of crimes, or even if they're convicted of committing a crime, suspending them without the right to vote on legislation -- and especially if suspended without pay and benefits -- is almost as good as expulsion. Prop. 50 essentially allows but doesn't require suspension without pay or benefits, the withholding of which is currently allowed only if a legislator is expelled.
Suspension is also much more realistic in today's political environment where liberal Democrats are in charge, and refuse to expel criminal legislators, no matter how corrupt. And in some cases, suspension will even be better for pro-family values. Under Proposition 50, if two-thirds of a house of the California Legislature votes to suspend a legislator, Prop. 50 requires that the suspended legislator be denied any right or privilege of office, and permits the suspension to include a prohibition of pay and benefits.
See SaveCalifornia.com's longer analysis of Prop. 50
A principle to remember on local taxes, bonds, fees, and assessments:
SaveCalifornia.com knows that big government often robs people of personal responsibility and saddles working families, property owners, and small business owners with greater financial burdens. It's all because big government refuses to investigate and slash its own waste. Because of the influence of government unions and bureaucracy, independent, tough audits are simply not seen. Therefore, we encourage you to vote NO on ANY AND ALL tax increases, bonds (which is borrowing money, and always more expensive than a direct tax because you must also pay back interest), fees, and assessments. It's pro-family to keep more of your hard-earned money, so it's pro-family to oppose wasteful government taking away more money from your family. They like to take it incrementally, so you must consistently oppose even the smallest tax/bond/fee/assessment increases in order to inhibit the government from taking more and more and more from your family.
Don't trust the "Republican voter guide" or "Democrat voter guide" sent to you in the mail. WHY? Its "endorsements" are PAID by the candidates themselves! Look at the FINE PRINT. Don't rely on voter guides in the mail unless they are from a trusted, recognizable source. And unfortunately, those trusted sources are very few and far between, because even some pro-family voter guides are including pro-perversity Republicans as "pro-family" candidates. See and consider your moral values by reading "Do these California Republicans deserve to win or lose?" So you must do you own research to make informed decisions.
While SaveCalifornia.com does not support or oppose candidates, we provide links to voter guides that list candidates' positions on issues and scorecards of elected representatives' votes. These links speak for themselves and do not represent the views or opinions of SaveCalifornia.com.
Here are your best, second-best, and third-best way to research candidates to see if they match your values:
1. Enjoy researching online
Your best research on candidates will be done by yourself. Google a candidate's name along with one search term at a time, such as: abortion, gay, LGBT, gun, taxes, parents, family, religious freedom, etc. Then visit candidate's websites for their specific positions on family and moral issues. And consider emailing the candidate to ask specific questions.
2. Learn from voting records and endorsements
Your second-best research is the actual votes cast by incumbent politicians.
See candidates who support the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda:
» Equality California: Our Endorsements"
See who voted in 2015 to celebrate and promote "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender":
» See the 15 California Republican legislators
See all the California state legislators -- Democrats and Republicans -- who voted to celebrate and promote celebrate "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender": » State Senate | » Assembly
» Eagle Forum Scoreboard (click US House tab and scroll down to California)
Carefully consider a few "pro-family" voter guides. But remember, if certain incumbents are portrayed as "pro-family" or recommend, check the filters above to see how they vote on the "LGBT" agenda.

Here's how SaveCalifornia.com decided Proposition 50, placed on the ballot by the Legislature:
Permitting the suspension of legislators without pay or benefits is better than now
Because the ruling Democrats in today's era have refused to expel (kick out of office) state Senators or state Assemblymembers who are charged or indicted on suspicion of crimes, or even if they're convicted of committing a crime, suspending them without the right to vote on legislation -- and especially if suspended without pay and benefits -- is almost as good as expulsion. Prop. 50 essentially allows but doesn't require suspension without pay or benefits, the withholding of which is currently allowed only if a legislator is expelled.
Suspension is also much more practical in today's political environment where liberal Democrats are in charge, and refuse to expel criminal legislators, no matter how corrupt. And in some cases, suspension will even be better for pro-family values. Under Proposition 50, if two-thirds of a house of the California Legislature votes to suspend a legislator, Prop. 50 requires that the suspended legislator be denied any right or privilege of office, and permits the suspension to include a prohibition of pay and benefits.
The suspension from office that Prop. 50 would create is almost as good as an outright expulsion because the overtly corrupt legislator can no longer vote on the floor of his or her legislative body. And if the suspension is also without pay and benefits (and there will be heavy pressure to deny suspended legislators pay and benefits because that's why Prop. 50 was purportedly put on the ballot), this will be better than what's occurred in the last couple generations (no expulsions, and suspensions that never cut off pay and benefits).
In addition, Prop. 50's suspension provisioners could be better for pro-family voters and worse for anti-family bills. Because the longer a liberal or otherwise bad legislative seat is vacant, it will be "one vote harder" to pass bad bills and bad budgets. We think it's perfectly fine and even preferable for a bad legislator's seat to remain vacant during a long court case and subsequent appeals. The longer that seat is vacant, the better. Under a Prop. 50 suspension, that potential bad vote could be missing for a couple of years, compared to one anti-family legislator being replaced by virtual clone in less than a year, in the case of an expulsion and subsequent special election.
And despite two Republican legislators' claims of potential abuse by Prop. 50, the fact is Prop. 50 guarantees greater protections against political mischief. Why? Because Prop. 50 increases the number of voters needed to suspend a legislator. Right now, there's only a majority vote (50% + 1) required to suspend -- but Prop. 50 would raise that to a two-thirds vote. Prop. 50 therefore makes it harder for the majority party to unjustly harm a member of the minority party. As the independent Legislative Analyst writes, "Currently, the Assembly or Senate can suspend one of its members with a majority vote. This measure requires a two-thirds vote of the Assembly or Senate in order to suspend one of its members."
Current law:
• A two-thirds vote is required in either house to expel a member (and salary and benefits stop when there's an expulsion)
• Either house, by a majority vote, can suspend a member (who, under current legal interpretation, will keep receiving salary and benefits)
As the Calfornia Legislative Analyst explains, "Expelling a legislator—ending his or her term of office—is the most severe disciplinary action available to the Assembly or Senate. The last time this happened was in 1905, when four Senators were found by the Senate to be taking bribes. ...in 2014 three Senators were accused of felonies and the Senate subsequently voted to suspend them. During the time they were suspended, the three Senators did not vote on bills or take other legislative actions. They remained in office, however, and kept receiving state salaries and benefits until they left the Senate. (Later in 2014, each of the three either resigned or left the Legislature at the scheduled end of their Senate terms.) This was the first time in history that California legislators had been suspended."
Under Proposition 50:
• There would still be a two-thirds vote required to expel a legislator (no change)
• To suspend a legislator, the threshold increases to two-thirds of either house
• A suspended legislator automatically loses all "rights, privileges, duties, or powers of his or her office" and cannot "utilize any resources of the Legislature"
• When voting to suspend a legislator, two-thirds of a house can also opt to halt the suspended legislator's pay and benefits

Spoiler Alert!
TNOG.ORG - Games events in Manchester
MikeDBloke - PSN
I was into weird games before people knew what they where
@D_Bloke - My inane prattle
ireland isnt getting the limited edition wind waker, oh well im not worried about it only statue of ganondarf, i rather prefer a extra game like they did original wind waker on launch date on gamecube,
they made mistake in nintendo official mag with wind waker one in mag you said you've 20mins to withered tree quest, you have 30mins to withered tree quest, 2 all tree locations are wrong in mag, in mag all tree locations are a2, b2, c5, d2, e1, e5,f3 and f7, in the game, ive heart piece done withered trees done, 8 locations are b1, g6, a5 , b4, b2, E3, C6, E5 , talking to kokors after each is done to get, u need ballade of gales, isnt enough time to do it without song
Ok, I haven't played A Link Between Worlds yet but there is some talk between the connections between this game and Majora's Mask.
Everyone knows the Mask in Links house
Which was put in the game by special request
Because of this, the MM connections with LBW cannot be coincidences.Originally Posted by Hiromasa Shikata
A fan also asked Eiji Aonuma about a possible connection between MM and LBW:
Other connections include:Fan: First off, I want to say that A Link Between Worlds looks awesome. My question is kind of a shot in the dark: I like when Zelda gets really gritty and dark. I know you produced Wind Waker and this new game, but I wonder if you have any information on Majora's Mask at all, because that was my all-time favorite Zelda game. (Crowd cheers). Please say you'll make this [for] Wii U.
Eiji Aonuma: (pauses) If you play A Link Between Worlds, you may get an answer. You might find some information.
The extensive use of masks in Thieves' Town in Lorule, (Kakariko Village's Lorule equivalent).
The Milk Bartender in Thieves' Town looks like the Bartender in MM
The 72nd Maiamai being left behind when it's mother left for an alternate dimension. (72 being the number of hours in 3 days)
And Ravio's Diary possibly hints at a connection between Termina and Lorule. Not to mention Ravio wears a mask.
Spoiler Alert!-3 Days to Go
She wants to do the right thing.
I wish I could help her.
But leaving is the only option.
-2 Days to Go
She's being duped. Doesn't she
realize that? He's just a leech.
There's no choice but to go.
-1 Day to Go
I have so little magic. Enough to
go there-maybe not to come back.
But tomorrow must be the day.
I may never see her again, but
I vow to save her from all of this.
There is one more tease of something Majora's Mask and that would be Skull Kid's appearance in Smash 4 as an Assist Trophy. So far Assist Trophies hint at some characters that haven't been added yet (such as Samurai Goroh -> Captain Falcon and Ashley and Waluigi -> Wario). A Skull Kid Assist Trophy alone doesn't suggest an MM character will be playable, but there is a high probability that Eiji Aonuma himself requested it or requested a character from this game to be playable.
This all could be suggesting that something is happening in Termina. Possibly a new Wii U game. And if this is the case, I wonder what transformation masks they could use
If anything MM might just be getting its remaster on the 3DS.

I like to enjoy the game and not rush through it. I don't like missing important things
I beat the game in 43:21, with the guide, first time.
I went a second time through and I beat it in 24:53 with 10 heart pieces, 4 bugs, 21 poes, NO GUIDE, but basically because I knew where everything was.
IMO, Zelda is easy, but very fun.
I like to enjoy the game and not rush through it. I don't like missing important things
I'm with Pud on this. It took me 49 hours first time through, and I didn't do most of the sidequests.
It is such a fun game why wouldn't you want to make it last?
Twilight princess, well I have the prima strategy guide for it and...
It's pretty damn thick.
simply a matter of opinion *YES* i think its a great *GET* game that deserves a lot *ZELDA* more credit than some people give it.

An open letter to Wayne Ogle,
We have been looking at Ordinance 2014-09. This ordinance would allow employees of the Borough to sit on Service Boards. We think it is a very bad idea for the following reasons:
1. It creates "ultra" employees. "Ultra," in that the employee has a vested interest above and beyond the welfare and best interest of the citizen of the Borough. They have a personal stake, due their employment, in decisions that have to be made by the Service Boards.
Tuesday's Peninsula Clarion article "Former school nurse pleads guilty to tampering" includes a quote by the defense attorney ("I would guess that 99.9 percent of all school district nurses in the state have done this") that suggests that our school nurses are lackadaisical and breaking the law with their record keeping. We strongly disagree with this suggestion and know that our school nurses are offended to be characterized in this way.
Minimum wage should be raised because as we go into a grocery store and from week to week find that a $10-12 item suddenly becomes a $13-14 item and a $12.50 item has suddenly became a $15-plus item.
I believe that since minimum wage was last increased, there has been roughly a 50 to 75 percent in the cost of merchandise. My measly 1.3 per cent raise in Social Security is eaten up every week when we go into stores because of their raising the prices daily.
The Board of Fish meeting is just about over and unless a last second reconsideration is made the commercial fishery plans are set.
The Board has put coho and chinook salmon as a priority fish in upper Cook Inlet but has not stated that in regulation and yet kept the sockeye salmon goals in place which creates a conflict.
With all due respect, I'd like to recommend that the Alaska State Legislature and the governor not pass another law until they've cleared up one critical and obvious issue: They must firmly and legally say "no" to the vast amounts of money being donated to them for political purposes!
It's getting ever more difficult to take the guys at the top seriously, when we (on the more humble end of the scale) all know that there's a lot of wining, dining, gift-giving, and gift-receiving that goes on behind closed doors.
Sorry to be so blunt, but someone's gotta say it!
Many years ago Dave Brude with Associated Pool Builders estimated the total costs to operate a pool the size of our three local pools at $300,000 to $350,000 per pool per year. I imagine they take into account all costs including major maintenance. One of the big costs is the utility costs associated with having to heat 210,000 gallons of water to 82 degrees, then bring in large volumes of fresh air and heat that air to 84 degrees and exhausting this air just as fast to keep the humidity down, and this happens 24/7/365, bathers in the pool or not.
To the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of Alaska:
I have observed the invited testimony of the Senate Finance Committee on Feb. 3 and would like to share some observations and concerns regarding that meeting and the Senate Joint Resolution 9 which was under discussion.
My first concern was that no one with alternative points of view was invited. I sincerely hope that as you acquire information you explore both sides of the issues to be sure you are making an informed decision rather than a preformed decision.
What has happened to justice?
The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank extends a warm thank you to the Public Defender's Office and to the Office of the District Attorney for their participation in an inter-office food drive competition during November and December. The Defense Attorney's Office raised 72 pounds of food and $1,495, while the Office of the District Attorney raised 309 pounds of food along with $393. Food and funds together, the drive donated the equivalent of 9,821 pounds of food for combatting hunger on the Kenai Peninsula.
I would like to recognize recent contributors to the KPBSD Students in Transition Program for homeless children and youth: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Sterling Ward Relief Society Sisters along with the Sterling Young Women (ages 12-18), the local Veterans of Foreign Wars, the local Order of the Purple Heart, the KPBSD Student Nutrition Services staff, and our local Fred Meyer store/the Kroger Foundation. Thank you for your generous donations and the time and energy spent on collecting them.

BMI View: Despite a sizable hydrocarbons endowment, major upstream and downstream projects remain at risk in Kuwait given long-standing above ground challenges that show few signs of near term resolution. We continue to expect Kuwait to underperform its peers and its raw potential, and as a result we expect slower than targeted growth in oil production alongside a growing import burden for gas.
Kuwa it i s currently in the midst of a major upstream expansion project which seeks to expand crude production capacity from around 2.9mn barrels per day (b/d) currently to around 4mn b/d by 2020. The expansion, termed 'Project Kuwait' would see some US$55bn to US$60bn invested in upstream development s in Kuwait and the region ( see, 'Increased Output Remains Elusive Despite Planned Investment,' November 6 2012 ).
Given much of the added capacity is intended to come from enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects as well as more difficult to recover resources such as heavy oil, Project Kuwait is intended to rely heavily on foreign expertise. In a November 2012 speech to a London conference, then Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) managing direct or Sami al-Rushaid told attendees discussions were underway with major international oil companies (IOCs) with ExxonMobil , Chevron , BP , and Total cited by media reports. At the time, al-Rushaid indicated KOC hoped to formally conclude at least one significant deal before end of 2012 ; however at the time of writing , no progress was available to report.
There has however been news made in other area of Kuwait's oil and gas sector; events that reinforce our view that above ground risks remain the key obstacle to further development of the co untry's hydrocarbons potential:
In 2012 Kuwait handed over an investigation regarding suspected irregularities in a US$800mn deal between KOC and Royal Dutch Shell to public prosecutors. The deal relates to a 2010 Enhanced Technical Service Agreement (ETSA) to develop a major non-associated gas field. An investigation was also underway at the time by the National Assembly, with allegations the contract was awarded improperly and without competition.
Given Kuwait bars foreign ownership of natural resources, ETSA's were seen as a method of incentivising IOC participation in upstream projects too challenging for KOC to develop on its own, however with Shell deal on hold, and no other agreements finalised, the scheme has generated more controversy than investment.
Industrial action, a relatively commonplace occurrence for Kuwait, hit the oil sector in May with nearly 80% of the workers at Kuwait's state run oilfield service outfit - Oil Sector Services Co (OSSC) - striking in a call for better pay.
A ruling in May from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) awarded Dow Chemical US$2.19bn in damages after the failure of a US$17.4bn joint venture in Kuwait's petrochemicals sector . Kuwait was found liable after pulling out of the deal following pressure from members of National Assembly .
Following the ruling, there was a major reshuffle of leadership in the state run oil sector with a the chief executive of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) replaced alongside a number of senior officials at the state run Petrochemicals Industries Co .
These recent events underscore the prominent threat Kuwait's above ground risks pose to foreign investment in major upstream and downstream projects. Indeed, one of Kuwait's most ambitious projects, the Al-Zour project which aims to bring online the Middle East's largest refiner ies at 615,000b/d by 2018 has gained some momentum in recent months . In December 2012, project management contracts awarded, but even this project has been subject to lengthy delays as result of infighting between the government and opposition politicians in the parliament ( see, 'Al-Zour Moves Forward But Uncertainty Remains,' July 27 2012 ).
Disputes between the government and opposing politicians in Kuwait's National Assembly have been a key source of delays and a key deterrent to investment in the oil and gas sector. Indeed, as the recent World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Competitiveness survey indicates, political instability and bureaucracy are among the chief obstacles to doing business in the country. Home to the region's most influential legislative body, Kuwait's elected National Assembly has the ability to veto legalisation and place considerable pressure on the government and its ministers.
|All Signs Point To State As Biggest Hurdle
|Kuwait - Most Problematic Factors For Doing Business*
As the seven dissolutions of parliament since 2006 indicate, the body has largely effectively with persistent hostility between the opposition forces in parliament and the government ( see, 'Irrevocable Loss In Competitiveness,' July 9 2013). We note that we have seen some improvement in Kuwait's ability to manage its affairs when 'loyalists' who support the government's policies have taken a majority in the National Assembly. However even considering progress on key areas made under a recent parliament in which loyalists held the majority, BMI's Middle East team has little confidence that a return of government supporters to power would lead to an improvement in Kuwait's business environment.
|Lagging Its Peers
|GCC - Ease of Doing Business 2013 Rankings and Global Competitiveness Index 2012-2013
This suggest s that Kuwait is on track to slip further behind hits oil rich peers in the region, who themselves are in the midst of major upstream projects . Countries such as Saudi Arabia and Oman are also increasingly moving, with foreign support, toward tapping unconventional resources that Kuwait is equally eager to develop in the face of gro wing shortfall of gas supplie s ( see our Special Report, February 16 2013, 'Fracking Goes Global: State of Play and Outlook,' and 'Shale May Help Stem Growing Gas Shortfall,' April 1 5) . Yet as evidence d by the string of disappointments, delays, and challenges, we see more downside than upside risk to efforts aimed at generating foreign investment in the oil and gas sector.
|Below Target But On The Rise
|Kuwait Oil Production, Consumption & Net Oil Exports ('000b/d)
As a result, we expect Kuwait to miss its 2020 capacity goal with regard to oil, and instead for production to reach around 3.5mn b/d by the end of our forecast period. Given few signals Kuwait is ready to address generous subsidies which have supported inefficient consumption patterns; we expect the country's gas deficit to grow given a lack of substantive progress in developing new supplies from challenging developing associated and non-associated gas fields (see, 'GCC Subsidies : An Untenable System').
|Shortfall To Grow As Supplies Lag
|Kuwait Gas Production, Consumption & Net Exports* (bcm)
In short, without addressing the challenges stemming from its oft criticised business environment, we expect Kuwait to continue to underperform its potential. This will undermine earnings, with a greater than necessary import bill on gas, and a below potential earnings from oil exports as production disappoints.

Experts are divided whether steps taken by Turkey to retire its debt to the International Monetary Fund can be replicated in the Balkans and elsewhere.
Turkey formally paid off its multi-billion loans last month, inspiring other nations whose leaders and residents have been struggling through the lingering global financial crisis.
Caner Bakir, an international political economist at Istanbul-based Koc University, said it is important to show specific ways Turkey's strategy can be applied to each country rather than say it's simply a reference model.
"We should always remind that imagination without implementation is just ahallucination," Bakir told SETimes.
On May 14th, Turkey paid about $4 billion as the last installment of its IMF loan repayments, ending 19 years of debt to the agency.
Ali Babacan, Turkey's deputy prime minister for economic and financial affairs, agreed each nation had unique circumstances. And, he said Turkey's political stability also was a factor in building a stronger economy.
"Every country has its own circumstances and it is very difficult to copy and paste practices of another country because they have to be adjusted for each country's circumstances," Babacan told SETimes.
Bakir Izetbegovic, a member of the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), told SETimes that aspects of Turkey's model of economic prosperity can be an example for every country in the Balkans.
"They offer security and stability for private capital of foreign investors who wanted to invest in Turkey," he said. "That is the way how BiH could solve our problems."
By the end of 2012, public debt of BiH amounted to 3.6 billion euros, which is about 34 percent of its GDP, including about 950 million euros to IMF.
Being an EU member country since 2007 and having pledged to abide by EU's financial requirements, Romania last year started to return the money borrowed from the IMF and plans to finish the task by 2019.
Last year, Romanian authorities repaid slightly less than 2 billion euros, equivalent to 1.4 per cent of the country's GDP. Romania is to pay back about 1.1 billion euros this year.
"Basically, the collective effort to return the borrowed money does not come to the whole 19.5 billion [euros] received, but only to half of them since most of the loan went to the state national reserve and Romania only has to return that money it spent through the Ministry of Finance," Aurelian Dochia, former World Bank consultant and an expert at the Romanian Centre for Economic Policies, told SETimes.
"Romania still has to pay attention to not spoiling the macro-economic balance. We cannot afford extravaganzas at this point when we look at the possibility to close another deal with IMF, even if the latter has in the meantime mitigated its initial tough stance on budgetary expenses," he said.
According to the National Bank of Serbia, the nation's debt to the IMF is about 1.6 billion euros.
The relations between Serbia and IMF have been continuing since the founding of the country as an independent state. The last agreement among the parties was adopted in September 2011, but was suspended in February 2012 because of the concerns about the government's determination on reaching public deficit and debt targets.
A "precautionary arrangement" was recently developed with the IMF and negotiations are scheduled to continue in September.
"IMF is the main global financial policeman and it depends on its evaluations, opinions and decisions how international creditors will act toward a country," Dejan Jovovic, a former financial adviser at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, told SETimes. "However, it is not focused on the country's development directly. Unfortunately, following the IMF request and its restrictive policies, we cannot resolve our main problems like unemployment."
Jovovic also said the IMF presence in Serbia is important as a base for co-operation with other international financial institutions and creditors, and its loans' interest rates are not difficult to repay.
Bakir said Turkey's previous economic problems helped leaders revise the nation's economic strategy. He said it was a window of opportunity.
"In 2001, Turkey passed through its deepest economic and political crisis of the Republican area. In tandem with the shrinking economy by 7.5 percent, the unemployment rate had increased considerably, along with a legitimacy crisis in the parliament. Under these circumstances, the crisis played the role of catalyst for a radical institutionalized macro-economic transformation," Bakir said.
Turkey's treasury was re-organised under a fiscal discipline, bankrupt banks were eliminated from the system, and the tax structure was changed. The flow of foreign investments also increased.
Bakir said each country's success story is tailor-made and should be viewed through individual conditions and that other countries may be unable to apply the necessary fiscal discipline and bureaucratic support seen in Turkey.
"In the past, the banks were mainly financing budget deficit of the government, while now they support the real sector in its investments through the banking credits they provide," he said.

Trade of the Week: Asia bores a hole in Mulberry
Falling international sales amid a wave of retrenchment from Asian buyers saw British luxury goods maker Mulberry issue a severe profit warning this week, sending the stock crashing by 30% on Tuesday – and offering a smart return for those with a short interest in the stock.
The news caught the market off-guard. According to a survey by Thomson Reuters, no analyst had a sell rating on the stock in the run-up to this week. Mulberry has a mean rating of buy across five analysts, with two strong buys, one buy and two holds.
That meant the stock was not high on many short sellers' radars in the run-up to Tuesday; only 0.65% of Mulberry's total shares were out on loan as of last week, according to Markit Data Explorers.
But for those fortunate holders of a short position on the stock, shares borrowed and sold short at £13.30 and bought back at Tuesday's low of £9.40 would have yielded an overnight gain of 29.3%. That would translate into a gain per share of £3.90.
The slide was triggered by a full-year profit warning at the luxury goods group, which warned on Tuesday morning that a 4% decline in wholesale shipments of its goods to markets such as South Korea, coupled with a slowdown in other key international markets, would wipe out any profit growth for 2013.
Philip Dorgan, an analyst at broker Panmure Gordon, said in a research note: "Mulberry's profit warning is severe. Given that it has had a tremendous run in terms of both share price and profits, it is now at the crossroads. Either, we are wrong about the scale of its international opportunity, or this is just a blip."
Panmure is maintaining its buy rating on the stock, but has slashed its target price from a lofty £20 to a more modest £11. That price is based on a multiple of three times the firm's estimated sales for full-year 2013. The stock had recovered slightly by Thursday lunchtime to trade close to £10.20.
Panmure says it now expects Mulberry to make a profit of £31m this year, down from a prior estimate of £42m, and a profit of £37m next year, down from £52m.
Mulberry's news followed a similar profit warning last month at its larger peer Burberry. The FTSE 100 firm warned that its full-year profits for 2013 would be below some analyst expectations, on the back of lower buying of its fashion wear from China. The news sparked a 21% slide in the fashion chain's share price.
According to an analysis by Nomura, both firms have lagged their European peers in the luxury goods sector this year, even before the impact of Mulberry's profit warning is taken into account. In the year to October 8, Mulberry's share price lagged the MSCI All-Country Europe equity index by 32.3%, while Burberry was behind 27.7%.
That compares with an outperformance of 56.9% for Prada, and 16% for fashion conglomerate Luxottica. Outperformance for the sector as a whole was 6.2%, the bank's analysts said.
A spokeswoman for Mulberry said the firm could not comment further on the results owing to a closed period.

(On having a couple fumbles and where to go after this game)-"Just have to keep playing. We didn't play as well as we wanted to on offense. We had turnovers at the end of the first half and I had one of those turnovers. I just have to play better next time."
(On the fumbles)- "Just keep moving and keep going. Last week, I felt like I had a grip on the ball, but today, I couldn't find a grip on the ball. I have to hold onto the ball. I just have to make sure I don't put the ball on the ground."
(On scoring last week against the Green Bay Packers and what happened this evening)-"I feel like that was us tonight. We didn't come out as sharp as we have been. As a team on offense, we have been moving the ball. On the first series, we came out and we moved the ball, but we had a turnover. On the next series, we also had a turnover. So we just shot ourselves in the foot tonight. We just have to get back to doing what we do and get the ball into the end zone."
WR Josh Gordon
(On changes from the first preseason game)- "It's a big difference. I feel more comfortable with the plays and being able to pick out the defensive schemes."
(On working on the chemistry with QB Brandon Weeden)- "I'm trying to go out there and make the plays I can. The fact that we could connect a couple times, does help on the field."
(On first three catches becoming first downs)- "If I can bring that to the team that's fine, whether it's making a catch for one yard or ten yards, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just trying to catch the ball and see if I can make a play afterwards."
(On how the defense can improve)- "Being better on our assignments, being more gap sound, running to the ball, better tackling, and things of that nature. I feel like I can get better on a lot of ends of my game."
QB Colt McCoy
(On the progress he has made during the preseason and where the team is now compared to a year ago) "I feel really comfortable with where I'm at. My mindset is to be ready to go in when I am called upon. It's not about counting your reps; it's about making your reps count. Everyone made some nice plays tonight and I think we will be ready for week one."
(On the scoring drive, and how he led the offense down the field) "It was a pretty long drive, and I was just constantly encouraging the guys up front. The Eagles defensive line is very explosive and made their presence known tonight. I had to use my feet a couple times and get out of the pocket, but I was just glad to get the ball into the end zone."
(On facing the Eagles again in two weeks in week one of the regular season) "They look pretty good. No surprises to what we saw on tape all week. We will have to do some different things to get some better protection, and we will need to run the ball more effectively if we are going to be successful. However, no one is discouraged as we still have two more weeks of preparation and we will be ready. "
QB Brandon Weedon
(On ball security) "Obviously we talked about it after week one of the preseason. The first fumble was a screen play and I tried to get my eyes around, however, the defensive lineman was right on top of me to make the play. I will have to watch for that more carefully, because I didn't have good feel for what was going on during the play. The second turnover was my fault; I have to take care of the football. I understand the importance of ball security, it's a weakness of mine and I have to continue to work on it."
(On the positives of the game) "The Eagles defensive line is very quick and talented, so having good protection is key, so I get the ball down the field so we can have success. I was very accurate with the majority of my passes tonight. I was able to read the Eagles defensive scheme many times, however I wish I could have some of those throws back. Overall, (wide receivers) Mohamed (Massaquoi) and Greg (Little) and I just need to get on the same page."
(On if he is ready for week one, a real NFL game) "I still need time to get comfortable with the speed of the game. I need to better understand when to step up in the pocket and, if I feel pressure, when I step up then to have good ball security and not give in to the defense. I showed some areas tonight in which I need to improve upon, and fortunately, it is still the preseason and I have to do that."
(On Philadelphia's quickness) "The Eagles are very quick team, and that's how they play. It is a part of their game plan and they use it to their advantage. We saw a quick pass rush in Detroit a few weeks ago, so we knew what to expect tonight. We showed some positive improvement tonight as well as many areas of weakness. Our goal is to just be ready by Week One against Philadelphia."

Best Hospital Centers for Mesothelioma Treatment
We have compiled a list of some of the top treatment centers across the nation that specialize in caring for people with mesothelioma cancer with in house doctors, surgeons and other healthcare providers. The research teams and medical experts that work at these centers specialize in the rare form of cancer and work exclusively on finding and providing effective pleural mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer. Because the symptoms can be similar to other illnesses, many patients are treated for other illnesses before a mesothelioma diagnoses is made. And, by the time mesothelioma is discovered, it is often at an advanced stage. Although there is no cure for mesothelioma, there are several treatment options and mesothelioma centers designed to help combat the symptoms and provide patients with the highest quality of life.
Finding the right mesothelioma treatment center is crucial to a patient's prognosis; although the disease can't be cured, a patient's life may be extended with certain treatments.
Mesothelioma Treatments & Specialists
Medical professionals at mesothelioma treatment centers include doctors, oncologists, radiologists, palliative care specialists, nurses, and more. Patients will benefit from a team of top mesothelioma specialists who will design an individualized strategy tailored to his or her specific needs. When determining a patient's "needs," the team may look at factors such as a patient's:
- Age
- Overall heath
- Medical history
- Family history of cancer and other illnesses
- Level of cancer
There are a number of researchers at these mesothelioma centers who are constantly developing and testing cutting edge treatment options for people with mesothelioma and other progressive cancers. Although there is no cure for mesothelioma, there are specific treatment options and strategies that work to extend the lifespan of diagnosed patients. With modern technological advances, diagnosed patients are often able to live for five years, with some reaching closer to ten years of survival with the help of mesothelioma cancer centers. Your team of specialists may suggest trying an alternative form of treatment or joining a clinical trial in efforts to extend the quality and length of life – these options, of course, will be up to you and your family.
Participants of clinical trials receive interventions that may include drugs or devices that are being tested by the clinical trial operators. Whether you would like to join a clinical trial or try an alternative form of malignant mesothelioma
Treatment centers often conduct mesothelioma clinical trials, which are designed to measure the efficacy of promising new drugs or other treatments. Together with your health care team at mesothelioma treatment centers, you may investigate the possibility of joining one of these trials. Or you may benefit from the advancements such trials have made in the mesothelioma treatment.
Finding a Mesothelioma Cancer Center
If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer, it's important to find a cancer center that best suits your individual needs as a patient. Some patients are interested in participating in clinical trials, while others are more interested in a traditional approach to mesothelioma treatment. The physician who diagnosed you may be able to help you find an appropriate mesothelioma cancer center, or you may wish to do some research on your own.
Listed below are a number of medical centers that specialize in mesothelioma treatment and other types of cancer. The list is not exhaustive, but it may help you get a general idea of the types of treatment programs offered for patients with mesothelioma.
- Brigham and Women's Hospital – Boston, Massachusetts, International Pleural Mesothelioma Program
- Markey Cancer Center at University of Kentucky – Lung and thoracic cancer treatment
- Siteman Cancer Center – St. Louis, Missouri, treatment of malignant mesothelioma
- UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at University of North Carolina – Thoracic oncology

Pride Party Roundup
On any night of the week, there are about a kajillion things for the jaded urban party boy to do. Pride weekend is special, though. The bars will be filling up with fresh facesout-of-towners and those bizarre New York gays who only go out during Prideand the party gods are steppin' it up for the occasion.The revelry kicks into gear Thursday night with a special Pride edition of 'Stache [Don Hill's, 511 Greenwich Street, 212-219-2850, 10 p.m., $10]. It wouldn't be a party without NYC's number one tranny Amanda Lepore, performing with lyricist Cazwell. Then around 2 a.m. legendary queercore band Limpwrist take the stage to rock your gay-ass socks. Meanwhile, DJs Tommy Hottpants and Zach will have you hoppin' to hair metal and '80s goth pop.
Things get all legit with Heritage of Pride's official Friday-night party Bring Back the Joy [Octagon, 555 West 33rd Street, 212-947-0400, 10 p.m., $55 to $155], featuring DJ Alyson Calagna's New York debut and a performance by professional fag hag, um, I mean international recording artist Kristine W. The cover may seem a little steep, but a portion of the proceeds go right back to HOP. The spirit of giving continues uptown at global fave Pacha [618 West 46th Street, 212-209-7500, 11 p.m., $50 to $60], where some of the dough from the premiere of Ric Sena's NRG benefits the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Who knows, you may need a task force yourself when DJs Roland Belmares and Tony Moran are done with you.
Sleep in late on Saturday and you won't miss anything but cartoons. It's a day to rest and recoup in preparation for Sunday's surge of faggotry. But if you're still itchin' to dance on Saturday night, it's all about Wild Boys at the Roxy [515 West 18th Street, 212-727-0108, 10 p.m., $40]. Peter Rauhofer's gonna flood the vast space with wild music, wild go-go gods, wild decor, a wild special guest performer, and, yes, wild boys. Don't even bother bringing a shirt. For some really dirty fun, head down to the East Village, where Michael Formika Jones's Go-Go Idol makes its triumphant return at the new Boysroom [ 211 Avenue A, 10 p.m., $5 to $10]. Guest host Shealita Baby judges the drunk boys stripping down for the $200 grand prize. Don't even bother bringing your pants.
Which brings us to Sunday, the big day. The Lord may have rested, but don't you expect to. After partying all day in the heat and crowds at the parade, dive right back into the heat and crowds on the pier. Dance 20: The Dance on the Pier [Pier 54 in Hudson River Park, 13th Street and Hudson River, 4 p.m., $55 to $125] is the pinnacle of Pride weekend. DJ DeMarko gets you pumped, the super-secret celebrity guests make you squeal, and Susan Morabito provides the happy ending.

Sure, your faux Louis wallet is feeling a little bruised by now, but the $15 cover at Happy Camper [Sol, 609 West 29th Street, 212-643-6464, 10:30 p.m.], the official Pier Dance after-party, might help ease the pain. DJ Phillip Kimball and all your campfire buddies keep things euphoric. Kumbaya, baby!
Last year, little gay hearts were broken all over the city when Jonny McGovern and DJ JonJon Battles's long-running Rambles party got the ax. Well, get ready to take a nature walk down memory lane, 'cause JonJon and Jonny are bringing the Rambles back to the Park just in time for Pride Sunday [ 118 Tenth Avenue, 212-352-3313, 10 p.m., free].
And what would Pride be without Junior Vasquez? He and John Blair are your counselors at Gay Summer Camp [Spirit, 530 West 27th Street, 212-268-9477, 11 p.m., $25 to $65].
Activities include a performance by Dynamix featuring Jason Walker, ogling the porno pups of Bel Ami, and a sunrise set by Junior himself. Pity the boys who have to go to work Monday morning.
