IT giant IBM has won a five-year deal worth $68.5 million to support a smart-metering initiative in Ontario, Canada.
Under the contract with Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) – which is responsible for managing Ontario's bulk electricity power system and operating the wholesale market – IBM will provide computing infrastructure and an updated operating environment for Ontario's Meter Data Management and Repository (MDM/R) system.
IBM (Armonk, USA) says it won the contract through a competitive procurement process and that its deal includes options to extend work over a seven- or ten-year period.
It plans to improve the performance of the MDM/R by contributing new computing infrastructure, an enhanced web services facility that can support increasing volumes of requests for consumption information, better disaster-recovery capabilities and operational improvements aimed at reducing risks and costs.
"The IESO needed a service provider with extensive knowledge and experience operating such a large-scale, complex, high-transaction volume service," said Przemek Tomczak, the direct of smart metering at the IESO. "After conducting a thorough and extensive competitive procurement process, we are pleased to have IBM operate the MDM/R at the lowest risk and total cost of ownership to the IESO, local distribution utilities and ratepayers of Ontario."
By allowing billing according to time-of-use rates, Ontario's MDM/R is aimed at encouraging consumers to shift more of their energy use to off-peak periods.
The system is used by 72 local distribution utilities serving some 4.7 million customers and processing around 100 million transactions every day.
"Insights gained from big data information networks and analytics systems will help consumers make smarter use of energy and utilities make better informed energy decisions to benefit all stakeholders," said Michael Valocchi, the global energy and utilities industry leader for IBM.
Historically, network infrastructure is the most expensive component in a mobile operator's overall CAPEX, which holds true in China, the biggest and fastest growing 4G market in the world.

"Two people died from a disease that has the same symptoms as monkeypox; 12 cases recorded in two weeks, in the locality of Bangangala in territory Bomongo (Equatuer), Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC), according to a Radio Okapi report (computer translated). Health specialists have not yet confirmed if it is really the disease monkeypox.
"I have already called the Minister of Public Health. I even wrote him and I booked a copy to the Prime Minister and I expect the government to act quickly.Health centers do not have the required infrastructure to accommodate the sick and administer appropriate care , "said Patrick Mayombe.
It is a relatively rare virus found primarily in central and western Africa. The disease is caused by Monkeypox virus. It is closely related to the smallpox virus (variola), the virus used in the smallpox vaccine (vaccinia), and the cowpox virus...."
" a disease that has the same symptoms as monkeypox "
Yea, when people die from this variola lets call it anything but what it is..... Smallpox............
It may be The Pepperoncini of Poxes as opposed to the Militarized 70% mortality rate Ghost Chili Pox cooked up in Siberia, but try telling that to the poor people that are dropping dead from it after munching on a little bush meat.....
Sentiment: Hold
"bush meat"....lol!
Anybody there got $ for 246?
If it were to develop into anything significant I would say the WHO would intervene, and yes they have $$$ and knowledge of 246.

Spring is finally here and Professional Artist Elida Field showed us how we can all make a beautiful spring canvas even if you've never painted before!
Materials List:
~any sized canvas (demo is 24"x24")
~acrylic paints (pthalo blue, cadmium yellow, titanium white, silver)
~large brushes (2"-3")
~specialty smooth brush (extra)
~small 1/2" angled brush for painting the sides.
~throw away paper palette.
~ bucket of water
~paper towels
~hangers/wire/mounting materials for the back of the painting.
~high gloss finishing spray
How to create the "Cool Toned Colorsplash":
1. Squirt a fair amount of paint spaced apart on your paper palette.
2. Dip your large brush in water and then into your darkest color of paint (pthalo blue). With large
horizontal strokes, start at the top of your canvas and work your way down going back and forth
3. Keep dipping your brush into the water and reapplying to your canvas so you have even strokes of color.
4. Clean your brush completely and make some clear strokes of water below the line of color you just painted.
5. Now dip your brush into the next color (cadmium yellow) and work some paint back onto the canvas overlapping the darker color on the top so that the lines mix but also are fading into the lighter color.
6. Continue this process down the canvas, into the yellow, silver, and white. You can use your smaller brush to add a little white into various places in the painting to give it some variation.
7. Using your smallest brush, paint around the edges of the canvas for a finished look.
8. Let the painting dry completely and then finish by spraying with a high gloss spray. A attach the
hangers and wire on the back.
Hang the painting horizontally for a water or sky feel. For a more contemporary look...hang the piece vertically. Enjoy!l

Yay, finally. Thank you very much. Had been waiting for this one.
Cool, been waiting for this.
Anyone know if this one has freezing problems as well?
This release is patched, right? If not, how do I patch it?
If the release is not patched, you can try and use GBATemp Narin's Cheat code and the software DSATM... or else you can go and check the discussion about the same game, but in the European version, people were there explaining it also... and giving a link to a patched file... :)
Team Cyclops just released 1.54b3 firmware that added compatibility for the EU version (3396). I'll check the US version and see if it works as well. I give it 50/50 chance. If it doesn't work, I'm sure they'll get it into 1.54b4 or 1.54final very soon.
Where do you download 1.54b3? They only show 1.53 on their website?
I was able to find 1.54b2...

When I was a little boy growing up in the Midwest, the closest thing I had to a queer media role model – besides Bert and Ernie – was Ferdinand, the flower-sniffing, cork-tree-shade-sitting, hoop-earring-wearing, Spanish bull who refused to participate in the bullfights. Ferdy wasn't overtly gay in any way – in fact, many people thought he wasn't even a bull, but simply a pacifist metaphor, drafted in opposition to Franco's ascendance – but I distinctly remember sitting on the floor of my room, reading the story, and feeling a connection with his bovine alienation.
My parents were remarkably accepting. They encouraged my love of cooking and hatred of team sports, and allowed me to dress as a girl for Halloween. And so while I'm not sure that I (or my folks) would have identified with a kids' book that was intentionally meant to delineate my difference, some of the other boys and girls at my elementary school certainly could have used a lesson in tolerating those of us who didn't conform to traditional gender roles, something a bit stronger than Rosie Greer singing "It's Alright to Cry" on Free to Be You and Me.
This need was further enunciated when I started teaching preschool in the early '90s. I found such a paucity of gay characters in children's literature then – my choice was between the hammer-headed polemicism of Heather Has Two Mommies (Alyson Wonderland, 1989) and the outmoded showtune clich's of Daddy's Roomate (Alyson Wonderland, 1991) – that when I read stories to the kids at the school I ran in Manhattan's East Village, I often used to change the genders of one of the protagonists so the book was about two male elephants or two female crows flirting or falling in with one another.
I didn't do this to be cute, or even to reflect the realities of my staff (about two-thirds of whom were queer), but because I noticed just how boringly hetero-normative so many of the books we read were – ending with opposite gender pairings and weddings as their solutions – and wanted the kids to have an incidental alternative to all of this, one that didn't make a "problem" or "issue" out of our human range of sexuality, but simply embraced it as a normal part of life. Sometimes, I even skipped the ending altogether.
However, with the recent bigoted efforts to restrict who can participate in matrimonial bliss, if I were still in the classroom today, I might be prone to leave these gender-morphed endings in. Better yet, I might just read some of the recently published picture books that cover this very topic.
My favorite among these is probably Uncle Bobby's Wedding (Putnam, 2008), the story of a little girl guinea pig who becomes jealous when her favorite guinea pig uncle decides to marry his gay guinea pig boyfriend. I liked the book's incidental treatment of the uncles' sexuality – the fact that the two rodents are homosexual is not mentioned or problematized, but simply accepted as the premise.
Though I don't have any plans to marry my boyfriend of eighteen years – and though all of my nieces actually like him better than me – I connected with the storyline on some personal level. And as the author of The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting (Crown, 2008) I support the primacy of Guncles in contemporary literature. But mostly I loved the book for its fashion. The gay Guinea Pigs have a sort of College Professor meets French Navy vibe to their daily style. Their longhaired male relatives rock a Walt Whitman look. And if my b.f. and I ever do decide to tie the knot, I'd want to don the exact nuptial outfits worn by Uncles Bobby and Jamie: tuxedo shirts, bow ties, tailed jackets, and no pants.
I also enjoyed the Dutch fable King & King (Tricycle, 2000), which follows a reigning Queen's confusion and disappointment when her son fails to show interest in the princesses she sets him up with – and her eventual acceptance when he falls for one of his suitoresses' brothers. The weird collage-y drawings are compelling, the tale of gay throne ascension is a nice way of underscoring the rights traditionally associated with marriage (inheritance, taxation, health insurance), and the story was simple and easy to follow. I'd want to don the same nuptial outfits: tuxedo shirts, bow ties, tailed jackets, and no pants.
The same cannot be said for the sequel King and King and Family (Tricycle, 2004) which mysteriously revolves around the royal gents going to Africa on their honeymoon and returning with a stolen native girl in their suitcase. For a much kinder and clearer exploration of gay adoption, I would recommend the adorable And Tango Makes Three (Simon & Schuster, 2005), a true story about a pair of male penguins (Roy and Silo) who – like many gay men – meet in Central Park, fall in love, build a nest, and try their damnedest to make a baby, before they're given a real egg of their own to sit on. The book highlights difference by underscoring similarity, it has a profound sense of love behind it, and it mentions – but does not go out of its way to explain – why a gay guy would fall in love with a dude named Silo. Plus, all the characters dress like Uncles Bobby and Jamie – in tuxes, with no pants – all the time.
Final on the marriage list is the lesbian wedding story Mom and Mum are Getting Married (Second Story, 2004) in which – like Canada, the country from which it originates – there is no drama or conflict, but simply frank acceptance. The book is notable for three things: the moms' hot '80s-inspired butch/femme wedding outfits, the T-shirt silkscreened with an ersatz suit that their young son wears to the ceremony, and the fact that the book was published with the financial support of the Canadian government. We have much to learn from our neighbors to the north.
Another subset of the new Queer Lit for Kids mimics the Ferdinand mold, revolving around characters who are confronted with difficulties for not conforming to traditional gender roles. Two of these stories – The Boy Who Cried Fabulous (Tricycle, 2004) and Harvey Fierstein's The Sissy Duckling (Aladdin, 2005) – are about young males whose inflexible and macho fathers deride them for being, well, fabulous sissies: wonderfully nelly fellas who are no good at sports, love to cook, and run about exclaiming how simply dazzling things like stilettos and cheerleading pom-poms are.
Unlike many real-life tales of femmy gay boys growing up in provincial locales – which entail relentless torture at the hands of family and peers, a need to hide one's true self, and eventual escape to an accepting community – both of these stories end upliftingly, with the locals learning a valuable lesson from the little queens. But where Sissy is radical in its unrelenting truth to itself – it ends with its protagonist proclaiming, James Brown-like, "I'm a BIG SISSY and PROUD!" – I found Fabulous' similar message diluted by its bland metered verse, fussily stylized illustrations, and incredibly cloying protagonist. I couldn't wait for that loud-mouthed, brown-nosing kid to be ostracized out of the book, or at least told to turn it down below volume eleven for a sec.
The Different Dragon (Two Lives, 2006) tells much the same tale, but adds a clever narrative twist. In it, a little boy is told a bedtime story about a Dragon who, like our famous bull, doesn't want to act tough, and who is relieved when he's instructed that there are "lots of different ways to be a dragon." But the twist comes in who is telling this story: one of the little boy's two lesbian moms. So it becomes a fable about embracing difference told as an open-ended plea for tolerance. I liked the book's casual acceptance of the boy's family unit, and desire not to make an issue out of it. But I felt like the "fictional" bedtime story could have been more powerful if it was related directly to some sort of conflict in the boy's life: bullying, the moms' horror at their son's terrifying butchness, a manufactured peanut allergy. It felt a little abstract to me.
Our final category is a sort of odd catchall that I call Sapphic Delusion. The first example is the illustrated book Flying Free (Booksurge, 2004) a story narrated from the perspective of a firefly (?!!!??) who is caught in a jar in order to be used as a nightlight by the daughter of a lesbian couple. The bug hides, tries to escape, and is – at the mothers' behest – eventually released. The story was slight and inane, and seemed to contain a misplaced slavery metaphor. Not to mention the fact that the characters looked like they were drawn by a third grader and modeled on her collection of Bratz figurines. But I did like the book's casual lesbianism. We're just two women with a kid, the story seemed to be saying, and we just happen to look like slutty dolls.
Finally, we have Dottie's Magic Pockets, a truly extraordinary DVD that proclaims itself "The First Children's Program for Kids in Gay & Lesbian Households." I was under the impression that kids of Gay & Lesbian parents could watch whatever they wanted, but I dutifully screened the disc's two episodes, and while I applaud the creators for attempting to make a kids' program concerning a lesbian couple with a child, I'm totally puzzled by the show's premise.
As far as I can tell, it concerns a stay-at-home-mom whose partner goes to work and whose kid goes to school and who – instead of taking care of things around the house like she's expected to – has some sort of psychotic episode and starts talking to the furniture, the walls, the fireplace, and a pat of butter, all of whom answer back in cheap "ethnic" accents. There are also some droll songs, pleas for collective understanding, and a dose of nonsensical instruction about homophones. It's like Pee-Wee's Playhouse on a handful of Dilaudid. As someone who has advised the creators of some of the most successful kids' television programs, I would like to offer this advice to the show's producers: reevaluate.
But it feels a bit niggling to complain at all, given the limited supply of gay goods out there for kids. If I were still running my school, I'm sure I'd have all of these properties on my shelf, which makes me feel a little . . . depressed. I recently completed a consulting project for a major toy manufacturer, part of which entailed talking to groups of Latino moms about the characters they cherish for their kids. Some familiar ones came up – Disney, Elmo – but it wasn't until the end that someone mentioned the Big D. "I hate Dora," one of the moms finally stated, to guffaws of agreement from her cohorts. "Just because we're Spanish, people think we like Dora. We don't. She's dorky looking, she's annoying, and they often get the language wrong. I like Maya and Miguel. I like Handy Manny." High School Musical is the gayest thing to hit popular culture since Liberace.
Though the gays are gaining ground on Bravo, we haven't quite achieved our Dora moment yet: we don't have enough representation with young kids to allow us to be selective. Things are changing with our youth. Witness the way that young people see gay rights as a civil rights issue, and vote accordingly; to say nothing of the High School Musical franchise, which is probably the gayest thing to hit popular culture since Liberace. But we have a long way to go before we see a recurring, overtly gay character on a mainstream kids' show.
I had someone tell me recently that one of the reasons that Californians opposed gay marriage was because they didn't want to have to introduce the topic to their kids. Well, I told them (and I'll tell you) that introducing kids to homosexuality is no different from introducing them to heterosexuality – something we do all the time. There are appropriate ways to handle the topic. And some of the media I've reviewed here does so: clearly, compassionately, and humorously, but most of all with the acceptance of its normality. Be it sexuality, bedtime, or broccoli, kids don't see things as problems until we problematize them. My nieces have grown up with their gay uncles, and see us as normal (or as normal as my boyfriend and I can be). Maybe by the time they're of parenting age, I'll be able to do another, bigger Queer Media review. Perhaps by then, we'll be able to look back on this time laughingly as the era in which Ernie and Bert still slept in separate beds.

All Blacks silence armchair critics
Related Links
Relevant offers
Did the All Black selectors get it right?
In years past, every time an All Blacks team was announced there seemed to be controversy.
For the past two years, the arm chair critics seem to have gone a bit quiet, but for good reason.
The balance this current team has is perfect; we have experienced veterans and energised young guns that seem to be spurring each other on.
Since 2011, the All Blacks have introduced many new players into this team with no drop in standard or results. In fact our team seems to be getting better and better every year.
In the past, the All Blacks had player problems, in terms of depth.
We had one legendary first-five worth playing and every time we lost him, our team was a shell of its former self.
We had a terrible line out, with locks that couldn't nail it at all.
We had a centre problem in the fact that we seemed to be changing who played there every game.
These days when our first-five goes down, we have four other guys who can step up and have stepped up to do the business. Many people even believe that our once legendary first-five is no longer our best choice to start.
In some respects they are right, and in many ways they are wrong.
Dan Carter, when fit and in form, is world class, but he has played very few games in the past two years and that may count against him in the long run. Only time will tell but cream always rises to the top.
If Carter fails to make the Rugby World Cup in 2015, New Zealanders will no longer be in a panic like they were in 2011 and before. We now have Aaron Cruden as a proven fly half who is world class and Beauden Barrett who has been a master class from the bench, changing the tempo of a game in a blink of an eye.
We even have the return to form of Colin Slade and Tom Taylor who filled the fly half role when our first three choices went down injured.
Many would argue that the All Blacks have the best players in the world for every position on the field.
I wouldn't say for every position, but pretty damn close.
There is a reason this current team is the only team to win every test in a calendar year.
The difference between this current All Blacks team and teams from the past is that went a player gets injured, we have another guy ready to fill his shoes and be just as good.
In the past in many positions when injuries struck the All Blacks were forced to field a guy who had little or no experience.
The only position where we don't have an abundance of cover is at hooker and centre. The coaches have noted these positions and have been working on them for some time now.
This is why we can expect to see a third hooker being given a chance in the near future so we have the cover when needed. This is also the case for centre.
Conrad Smith is the world's best centre and has been for many years (even over Brian O'Donnell) but we don't have the best depth to cover him if he is injured.
This is why Ben Smith played centre last year even though his form on the wing was world class.
We would have had sufficient cover for centre if Rene Ranger had stayed in New Zealand but he left for his own reasons. Now the All Blacks are in the hunt for another natural centre and they believe they have found that from the Highlander Malakai Fekitoa.
Fekitoa was a Blues reject, but since he moved south he has smashed down the door to the All Blacks and announced himself.
Surely John Kirwan must be kicking himself.
The thing I like about this team is the potential of the young guys coming up through the ranks, the guys lighting up the Super Rugby field in search of the black jersey.
We can expect some new blood when the squad is finalised and perhaps a shock or two.
Steve Hansen did say that not everybody at the training camps would make the final cut, but more importantly that players who didn't make the training team could still be selected.
The All Blacks selected 36 players for the training camps, but interestingly enough they only had 35 at each of the different camps.
Luke Whitelock and Jeremy Thrush only attended one camp each, so they could be the first two on the chopping board.
Of course injuries between now and then will determine who else makes the cut.
Of the players who might make the All Blacks but didn't make the training squad, I'm picking Jeffery Toomaga-Allen.
This prop is a freak; he is hands down the fastest prop in New Zealand and he has an ability to break tackles, make metres and his work in the scrums is why he made the tour last year.
If he doesn't make the All Blacks cut this time, I'm sure he will make it for the Championship and northern tour.
Given that Cruden is coming off an injury and has had little game time under his belt and the amazing form of Beauden Barrett, I would start Beauden Barrett at first-five. The All Blacks will want to wipe of the dust in the first test so they will go with the tried and true.

I do think that in time Jerome Kaino will be our starting six, TJ Perenera will overtake Kerr Barlow, Fekitoa will be bench option and Coles will take over the starting position.
Injuries have kept key men out of the team, the likes of Charles Piatau and Luke Romano will make it back when fit.
I'm also going to throw out a left field selection and say that Victor Vito will make the cut and remains the best back up to Kieran Read for the eight spot as his form and skill set has been raised to what the All Blacks demand.

- If Waluigi is playable, will the bar be LOWERED?
dedekong posted...Ok.. but Waluigi's role in those games are of the same value as a Koopa.. except Koopa's are at least in the canon games.
Besides the fact that it's blatantly wrong. Other than Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Bowser, Waluigi is basically one character in a very small group that ever does anything important in multiple spinoffs. He's more important than most of the roster, even big names like Donkey Kong. He's one of the few characters in those games that ISN'T filler.
Tissues to the extreme!
Ehhh, scary traffic cone!
MrSpacelySlate 4 years ago#62
This bar you imagined became nonexistent since Smash 64, considering we had Mr. "Mario-in-green-paint" instead of a unique Luigi.
So first Sakurai has standards (BS) then once he puts filler characters he will have lowered standards (more BS) and there's something about using PS Smash as a positive example (complete and utter BS).
Sakurai's standards differ from character to character. This is a proven point. If a buddy asked him to put X in, he'll do it. If he sees moveset potential, he'll apply it. If he thinks X is popular, he'll put him in. If he thinks X is retro, WTF or "important to Nintendo" by whatever BS definitions everyone here has, he'll put him in. And if he wants more characters but doesn't have time, he'll use clones.
You can make up whatever reason he has to add someone, and you can make up reasons why he saw that certain characters are higher priority than others and so made cuts. But add Waluigi and suddenly something is wrong with Sakurai's standards? Where the **** have you been when the last 3 games were released?

Which explains why he usually gets included over the Koopas, and unlike them almost always in Team Leader role.
Really, he's more along the line of Daisy(Except having a far more unique design, while Daisy is literally a palette swap which has since been differentiated). Let's face it, the chances that Sakurai cares for her one very minor appearance in the "Canon" is microscopic. If she gets in as anything more than swap, it's due to the spin-offs.

Try going with "the main series", instead.

I doubt the bar would be lowered if Waluigi was playable. Sakurai completely ignored popularity and importance for many characters already in smash bros like the retro characters. I know that you think that just because they're retro they're the only ones eligible to ignore these rules, and while that is partially true many other characters ignored these fan-made rules too.
Jigglypuff is possibly the earliest example, although it was very popular back then there were also many other popular pokemon like Eevee, Meowth, etc. Personally I think that Jigglypuff was considered because its model is similar to Kirby's.
Sheik is not important to the LoZ series, even if Sheik is Zelda she's still a one-time thing. Think of Wolf Link, what makes Sheik much more important than Wolf Link?
Roy's game was not finished prior to Melee so he had no importance or popularity to fall back on. Although he was in to advertise he still ignored these fan-made rules.
The rest of the Melee clones, although some of them are important and popular enough to be in Smash the only reason they got in was because he needed more clones.
Finally the 3rd parties broke this battle of Nintendo All-stars tradition. Especially Snake who is only there as a favor to one of his friends.
So I think any character can get in if Sakurai is interested enough, or if he feels he needs to use them.
Pauline, Palutena, Medusa, Cptn. Syrup, Mike Jones, Andy, Lip, Eirika, Bayonetta, Mr. Peepers, Micaiah, Birdo, Anna, Lyn, & Shantae for SSB4!

A fan made mario wiki is not a reliable source to determine whether a canon exist or not. The Mario games, and developers are. Considering the games have established a timeline, character relationships, and other stable ideas in the main series mario games, it is clear a canon does exist.
And that Monopoly board is not made by the same people who determine anything major at Nintendo, or the Mario franchise. Although, I do find it hilarious that Waluigi has the cheapest, and least important spot on the board.

No. The time line is constantly flopped around and vague, "canon" elements are retconned and changed every other game, and Nintendo, Miyamoto specifically, doesn't care about canon at all. He even said that the characters are not truly characters, but actors playing roles. Canon in Mario games is the foggiest thing ever.
Tissues to the extreme!
That looks like a homing- SHUT UP AMY.

The TC assumes there is a bar to be lowered when it comes to Smash bros. lol A game series where Sakurai throws in characters onto a roster just cause he feels like it.
Then again it's dedekong, can't expect much from him.

Saying things are "retconned" and "changed" is a bit of an exaggeration. I also would like to see that Miyamoto quote, and proof of Retcon.

So because you have no grasp on the standards of how Sakurai has chosen certain characters, you assume there is no bar or standard? Ok.
...And Considering you're anticipating Injustice: Gods Among Us, I don't think you should be judging on what to expect from anyone.

- The U.S. oil rig count jumped by 11 in the past week to 443, marking the eighth consecutive weekly increase, Baker Hughes reports in its latest survey.
- The total overall rig count, which includes a gain of 3 natural gas rigs to 108, rose by 14 to 553 following last week's overall gain of 11.

- Crude oil is higher as Russia reiterates its commitment to joining a production freeze; WTI +0.6% at $50.93/bbl, Brent +0.8% at $51.80.
- Even as Russia plans to produce 548M metric tons, or 11M bbl/day, of oil next year, a post-Soviet record, Energy Minister Novak says the government still wants global producers to curb production amid weak prices, and he plans to make proposals to his Saudi Arabian counterpart at a meeting this weekend.
- "The near term fundamentals in the oil market have turned positive. Demand is stabilizing, OPEC production has peaked (and will fall if cuts are implemented), and global inventory declines imply that the market is more balanced than many believe," Bernstein analyst Neil Beveridge says.

- In its sixth drop out of the past seven weeks, crude stocks fell 5.2M barrels in the week ended Oct. 14, vs. analyst expectations for a build of 2.7M barrels.
- Also supporting oil today was evidence of declining production in China and optimism that OPEC would secure an output cut at its meeting next month.

Wed, Oct. 19, 10:48 AM
- ExxonMobil (XOM +0.7%) CEO Rex Tillerson, speaking directly after Saudi Arabian oil minister Khalid Al-Falih at the Oil & Money conference in London, offered a rebuke to the Saudis, saying fears of a future supply shortage are overblown.
- Tillerson said U.S. shale oil producers' resilience in cutting costs to make some wells profitable at as low as $40/bbl means that North American production has effectively become a swing producer that will be able to respond rapidly to any global supply shortage.
- Tillerson: "I don't quite share the same view that others have that we are somehow on the edge of a precipice. I think because we have confirmed viability of very large resource base in North America... that serves as enormous spare capacity in the system. It doesn't take mega-project dollars and it can be brought on line much more quickly than a 3-4 year project."
- His stance contrasted with al-Falih, who minutes earlier warned that the sector faces challenges due to the drop in long-term investment in the market, a reason the Saudis have cited in their recent move to push for a production cut.

- Speaking at the "Oil & Money" conference in London, Saudi Arabia oil minister Khalid Al-Falih says many non-OPEC countries (Russia?) may join in the cartel's deal to limit output. The countries, he says, are willing to not just freeze, but implement healthy cuts.
- Also in attendance at the conference, Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson says any worry of a future supply shortage is overblown, thanks to the game-changer of U.S. shale.

- The consensus among execs, traders and officials at the annual Oil & Money conference in London: Get used to $50-$60/bbl oil prices, as falling costs in U.S. shale fields counteract OPEC's renewed commitment to supply management.
- Any sustained oil price rally will be held back by the return of U.S. shale oil production from fields previously rendered unprofitable by the two-year slump, says IEA head Fatih Birol.
- "Investments are back... but it's only going to be the very best," BP's Bob Dudley says, adding that his company has taken final investment decisions on a handful of projects this year and is expected to approve more in 2017.
- ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) CEO Ryan Lance emphasizes that some U.S. shale fields have dramatically reduced their breakeven levels, with new wells in parts of the Permian, Bakken and Eagle Ford areas now profitable at $40/bbl.

Mon, Oct. 17, 6:48 PM
- Colonial Pipeline says it will cut shipping volumes while it works to restart the section of its main gasoline conduit that was shut for more than 12 days after a leak was discovered on Sept. 9.
- The section of the 1.3M bbl/day line that connects the refining hub of the Gulf coast to the east coast was damaged after its biggest gasoline leak in nearly two decades; a bypass line was constructed to restart operations while the company repaired the main conduit.
- Allocations on Colonial's Line 1 - the main gasoline line on the biggest refined products system in the U.S. - will be reduced by ~20% for 10 days; U.S. gasoline crack spreads jumped by more than 5% to $13.32/bbl on news of the reduced allocations, Reuters reports.
- The U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said on Friday that Colonial must cut pressure on the line by 20% until it can ensure the line can safely operate at full capacity.
- Colonial Pipeline is owned by Koch Industries, South Korea's National Pension Service, Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) and others.

Wed, Oct. 12, 12:46 PM
- Rising demand for oil over the next two decades likely will overwhelm the impact of electric cars on crude markets, BP chief economist Spencer Dale tells Bloomberg.
- Even with BP's forecast that 70M electric cars may be on the road in 20 years, the company projects oil demand to increase by ~20M bbl/ay over the two decades, with ~25% of supply going to passenger vehicles.
- Dale thinks efficiency gains such as improved fuel economy may have more of an impact on oil demand than electrified transport, and says mileage standards and better engines would have "many times greater'' impact on oil demand.
- BP anticipates electric vehicles will have a bigger impact in another 30-50 years, and perhaps sooner if social preferences shift.

Wed, Oct. 12, 10:23 AM
- Oil trading companies think any OPEC deal to cut production will not result in a substantial reduction in actual supplies, which means the oil market is unlikely to rebalance until well into 2017, Reuters reports.
- Though the crude price has stabilized at ~$50/bbl since news of the output deal on Sept. 28, rising production from Libya and Nigeria casts doubt over the agreement's effectiveness, the heads of trading firms Gunvor and BB Energy say.
- Also, any agreed reduction will not affect actual supplies until next year, because the Nov. 30 OPEC meeting to set supply policy will be too late to adjust cargo loading dates before 2017.
- Glencore's (OTCPK:GLCNF, OTCPK:GLNCY) head of oil, Alex Beard, also is skeptical, saying "We need to see the real deal in November rather than the talk of the idea of doing a deal."

Tue, Oct. 11, 8:22 AM
- Rosneft (OTC:RNFTF) leader Igor Sechin says his company will not cap oil production as part of a possible agreement with OPEC.
- Russian Pres. Putin said yesterday that the country was ready to join a proposed OPEC cap, but Sechin tells Reuters that he doubts some OPEC countries, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, would cut their output, so "why should we do it?"
- Sechin had said Rosneft expected to raise its 2016 oil production - already the world's largest listed oil producer, and accounting for 40% of Russia's crude oil output - above the 203M metric tons (4.1M bbl/day) it produced in 2015.
- Sechin has long argued that any oil price increase as a result of joint actions by OPEC and non-OPEC members would allow the U.S. to resume production growth from higher-cost shale deposits.
- Lukoil (OTC:LUKOF, OTCPK:LUKOY) VP Leonid Fedun says he believes Russian oil companies would unify behind their government if talks with the OPEC result in a deal to limit output.

Tue, Oct. 11, 4:58 AM
- OPEC's oil production rose to record highs in September, rising by 160K barrels to 33.6M bpd, underscoring the challenges the group faces as it seeks to curtail output.
- "At this stage, it is difficult to assess how the OPEC supply cut, if enforced, will affect market balances," the IEA said in its latest monthly report.
- Yesterday, WTI pushed above $51/bbl after Vladimir Putin said Russia was ready to join an output freeze, but not one world producer has willingly taken one solitary barrel off the table this fall.
- Crude futures -0.8% to $50.95/bbl.

Mon, Oct. 10, 10:08 AM
- Energy stocks (XLE +1.6%) open with strong gains and Brent crude oil jumps (USO +3.2%) to its highest level in a year after Russian Pres. Putin says his country is ready to join OPEC's proposed cap on oil production; Brent crude +2.8% at $53.39/bbl, WTI +2.9% at $51.26/bbl.
- "Russia is ready to join in joint measures to limit output and calls on other oil exporters to do the same," Putin said today at the World Energy Congress in Istanbul. "We think that a freeze or even a cut in oil production is probably the only proper decision to preserve stability in the global energy market."
- Also, Saudi Arabian energy minister Khalid al-Falih said he was optimistic that oil producers could agree to cut production by November and "it is not unthinkable" that crude prices could rise another 20% this year to $60/bbl.

Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is an action-adventure game developed by Grounding Inc.[1] and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS's eShop.[3] The game was released in Japan on November 16, 2011 as Hirari Sakura Samurai (ひらり 桜侍?), in North America on February 2, 2012,[3] and in PAL regions on October 11, 2012 under the title Hana Samurai: Art of the Sword.[2]

A young, nameless samurai hero, trained by an old kappa and dubbed as the Sakura Samurai (or Hana Samurai), travels the game's world to rescue a kidnapped princess called Cherry Blossom, a daughter of the cherry blossom god in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Audrey Drake of IGN gave the game a 9/10 for its distinct charm, art style, and fulfilling gameplay.[4] Vaughn Highfield of Pocket Gamer gave the game an 8.0/10.
Nintendo Life gave the game an 8.0/10 saying that Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword may not be the prettiest game on the eShop but it sure is one of the most challenging, striking a good balance between difficulty and precision.[5]
Woolie of the Two Best Friends Play web series rated it at number six on his Woolie's Super On-Time Top Ten [video games] of 2012!, specifically referencing its use of dodge and attack mechanics, comparing them to that of the Punch-Out!! series.[6]

Man redefines 'drive-in'
A Robinsonville man was arrested Monday night after he allegedly took a restaurant's name a bit too literally.
According to a sheriff's department spokesperson, Demarco Peaches, 32, of Robinsonville was arrested late Monday after he reportedly drove his vehicle through the glass front window of the Checkers Drive In Restaurant in Robinsonville, then fled the scene.
"We got a call at 9:36 p.m. that a car had run into the glass at Checkers," said Tunica County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Randy Stewart. "The subject was reported to be driving a black Lincoln Town Car, and somewhere around 10:23, one of our officers on routine patrol located the vehicle at one of the casinos."

Pump It Up: Rethinking Pushups
Traditional pushups remain one of the best anytime, anywhere, total-conditioning exercises. They're great for developing your chest, shoulders, and triceps, and can even strengthen your back and core when performed with strict form. And while they don't tend to build muscle size and super strength in the same way certain free weight movements will, they can be an excellent addition to your training regimen.
Consider pushups for any of the following circumstances:
1. You are looking for a convenient way to integrate some resistance exercise into your workout routine, but you're not into weight training or joining a gym.
2. Your normal facilities aren't available, but you still need to grab a workout, and push-ups can be done anywhere ... even in jail!
3. You find yourself training in a facility that only has lighter weights (like those wussy hotel fitness rooms). Do a set of pushups right before each set with the lighter weights and, presto, the lighter weights suddenly don't feel so light!
4. You are looking for more intensity out of your current routine, so you add a few sets of pushups at the end of your usual work-out for even greater levels of deep muscle burn and conditioning.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
The Form
1. Get down on your knees, place both hands a little wider than shoulder width apart on the floor, then raise yourself up so that you're balancing on your palms and toes. This is your starting position. (fig. 1)
2. With your back and legs in a straight line like a board, lower yourself face down to within a few inches of the floor, then push yourself back up to the starting position. This is one rep. (fig. 2)
Option A: If this classic form is especially difficult for you, try balancing on your knees, instead of your toes.
Option B: When available, use dumbbells as hand rests which are easier on the wrists. (fig. 3)
More Tips
- A set of pushups is basically however many reps you can do while maintaining proper form (anywhere from 10 to 35 on average). But don't get hung up on the numbers at the expense of your form.
- You can perform pushups daily, or even throughout a given day, if you like. Just be careful not to overtrain if you're feeling sore from them.
- You can adjust which muscles are emphasized in a pushup by varying your hand placement. Go wider for more chest, and narrower for more triceps.
Be sure to check with your physician before beginning a new exercise routine.

Skip to comments.The Veterans' Benefits Training Improvement Act of 2011 (Disability claims accountability?)
Posted on 07/22/2011 5:54:44 PM PDT by JohnBrownUSA
Rep. Jon Runyan, (R-N.J.), statement:
H.R. 2349, the Veterans' Benefits Training Improvement Act of 2011, aims to improve benefit claims processing through focusing on individualized training and skills assessment.
The bill creates an individualized training program for all employees and managers who process or supervise the processing of disability claims.
Annually, these employees would take a test that assesses their skills relating to claims processing.
Following this test, VA will create an individualized training program for each employee who took the test. This individualized program will focus on the areas of the test where the employee showed the greatest deficiency or need for improvement.
This focus on individual deficiencies will avoid the redundant blanket training that many employees already endure.
There is no reason why an employee of 20 years should be taking the same training as an employee who has been in the VA for only two years.
I hope that by establishing this program we are able to encourage employees and managers alike to slow down and do the claim right the first time. Improving the number of claims sent out the door is not enough if the veteran is continually seeing mistakes being made on his claim. Quality must be improved, and the only way to improve quality is make sure that VA employees are properly trained.
(Excerpt) Read more at veterans.house.gov ...
The same standards that the military expects from its service members must be the same standards the VA expects from its bureaucratic drones.
Like we say in the military, "Fight as you train, train as you fight."
H.R. 2349 is linked below for your reading pleasure:
§ 7732B. Annual assessment of claims processing Skills
(a) IN GENERAL.The Secretary shall
(1) annually assess the skills of appropriate employees and managers of the Veterans Benefits Administration who are responsible for processing claims for compensation and pension benefits under the laws administered by the Secretary; and
(2) develop and implement an individualized training plan related to such skills for each such em- ployee and manager.
(b) REMEDIATION OF DEFICIENT SKILLS.(1) In providing training under subsection (a)(2), if any em- ployee or manager receives a less than satisfactory result on any portion of an assessment under subsection (a)(1), the Secretary shall provide such employee or manager with remediation of any deficiency in the skills related to such portion of the assessment.
(2) In accordance with this title and title 5, the Sec- retary shall take appropriate disciplinary actions with re- spect to any employee or manager who, after being given two opportunities for remediation under paragraph (1), does not receive a satisfactory result on an assessment under subsection (a)(1).
GO big Jon....even though he was a seagull..*smiles*
The VA promised in 2000 that the problems were over and all the veterans would have their claims prossessed in weeks instead of years...
What happened to that ???
That multimillion dollar shake up of the VA was supposed to last for eons...
They should stop trying to train the untrainable and replace them with disabled vets. Service would get better and the vets would get a job.
One of my friend applied recently and it took about 15 months. I am on month 11. It took 5 months for them to schedule me for physical.
When I retired, I have to say my disability was processed rapidly. It took less than a month. But, didn't find out until 5 yrs after I retired, that I had a few other conditions. Too late.

Wow, Michel, that's incredible. I never knew about that.
Documenting a spectacular environmental failure in the 1980s:
The toughest place to be a bin man.
"Cities need to be built up, not out, to maintain the population. I like the idea of "green" areas enforced to make that happen."
High levels of population concentration contribute to climate change/global warming.
"Lester, my point was that by just concentrating on the material, using our animal empathy and human reason, we might be able to achieve a better balance with our environment. "
As in when a tree is cut down, plant three more.The British approach is balance exploitation with conservation. Local fishermen for example, use their own initiative and deploy no take areas to conserve fish stocks. No take areas are off limits for about two years.

Christmas came early for Walmart shoppers in Tewksbury Friday night as Beyonce played Santa.
The Grammy-award winning superstar made a surprise appearance at Tewksbury's Walmart on Main Street before her concert at the TD Garden in Boston.
Beyonce walked around the store, wished everyone a happy holiday and then gave out $50 Walmart gift cards to 750 customers.
The value of the cards totals $37,500.
Her appearance came just days after Walmart's competitor, Target, announced they would not be carrying her new album.
