Your support for the Mark Twain Medical Center Foundation helps assure our hospital can continue to meet its commitment to the health care needs of Calaveras County residents.
Until Mark Twain Hospital opened in 1951 health care services were limited in the county and residents traveled outside their communities for acute care. Keeping pace with health care needs over the next three decades, the hospital added more acute care beds, an ICU/CCU and expanded its Emergency Department to state-of-the-art status. Next came urgent care and rural health clinics in many county communities.
The Foundation was formed in 1984 by tireless volunteers with a vision of providing resources to help the hospital keep pace with evolving technology and trends. Its early efforts focused on raising funds to install the first mammography equipment in the county and embraced the capital campaign to build a new hospital facility. The Foundation proudly contributed $1 million to that building fund and today's 48-bed facility was dedicated in September, 1997. It was the only rural hospital building project in California that year. Since that time, the Foundation has purchased NuclearMedicine Technology (2002); acquired a CT Scanner (2007) and Digital Mammography Technology (2009).
The Foundation is now focused on the building campaign for a Family Medical Center in Angels Camp. Groundbreaking is scheduled for Fall/Winter 16/17. This facility which is a relocation/expansion of the hospital's existing Family Medical Center in that community. The 19,000 square foot building will provide expanded space for Primary Care Services and include a Womens Health Center. Join us in our ongoing efforts to advance quality health care in Calaveras County. Contact the Foundation and our staff will be in touch.
For complete details, call the Foundation office at (209)754-2603.
Our office is located on the hospital campus at 768 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas, CA.

crestexplorerSun 21 August 2016 by Jim Purbrick
At the 3rd Party Dev State of the Union at EVE Fanfest 2016 earlier this year, CCP FoxFour drew my attention to a limitation of the current approach used by crestmatic to generate CREST documentation: it only discovers resources always reachable from the API root from the perspective of the authorised character at generation time. As CREST now includes APIs for transient resources like fleets the entire API isn't reachable for documentation from a nightly run using the credentials of a character not in a fleet.
There are a couple of ways to fix this. At the API level OPTIONS responses could refer to linked representations that can exist. An alternative is to extend crestexplorerjs with OPTIONS metadata to make it expose live documentation about reachable resources.
At a recent hackathon I took the second approach. crestexplorer now makes OPTIONS requests to each resource it requests and uses crestschema and data urls to generate downloadable JSON schema descriptions for each of the representations available for a resource. It also hyperlinks to the alternative representations so now all representations of all reachable resources are available in crestschema and the human readable descriptions of each field are added to the rendered resource as hovertext.
Now documentation for any valid CREST resource live by specifying the URI for the resource as the crestexplorer hash fragment. Even when the resources are transient documentation is available for resources while they exist.

Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX ) has seemed a bit desperate at times lately, and today's news might be interpreted the same way. It is following in the footsteps of the likes of McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) into "value meal" territory during the breakfast hours.
The cafe giant will offer deals on breakfast "pairings" at $3.95. Examples include a tall latte with an order of oatmeal or a piece of coffee cake, or a brewed coffee with a breakfast sandwich. According to the Associated Press report on the move, while prices can differ based on location, such a combination would usually cost about $5, and Starbucks says the new deals would save customers an average of $1.20.
It has become clear that consumers are seriously tightening their belts and saving money instead of spending, and Starbucks' most recent quarter showed it's not reheated yet.
And of course, Starbucks is not alone in the category of luxury companies that have fallen on tough times. Customers of companies like Coach (NYSE: COH ) , Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN ) , and Ruth's Hospitality (Nasdaq: RUTH ) have also held on tighter to their purse strings.
Personally, I fear Starbucks will sully its high-end image with strategies that sound a little too bargain-basement; a year ago, I was leery about word that it was testing $1 coffee and free refills. At some point, it seems too much of a value element might tarnish the brand, which is what differentiates Starbucks from its rivals in the first place. At that time, I said, "It's bad to lose your soul, but worse to lose heart as well." And of course, busting margins isn't exactly a pleasant thought to us investors, either.
On the other hand, who can argue with the fact that consumers are making it clear they're looking for bargains. It does seem like a quandary.
That's why I'm curious about what our Foolish readers think. Are value meals at Starbucks a brilliant and sensible idea, or should Starbucks stay as true as possible to its brand? Feel free to vote in the poll below, or write in your thoughts in the comment boxes below.

Mega/virtual texturing doesn't mean that everything must be hand painted.
After a quick skim this seems like a similar idea as mega texturing. The problem is that I can't have a large virtual texture because it would be too large to hand-paint/generate and store on disk. This is why I'm looking more at procedural splatting methods.
You just create the data in whatever way you want instead of just loading it off disk. (splatting, procedural textures, baking GI data just in time.. etc.)
Battlefield 3 used splatting with virtual texturing quite nicely.
Thanks for the reply. This is a great read and may be relevant to my project.

Hello All. This is my second blog on this website and I feel like in order for you all to understand my point of view better you should probably get to know me better. So here is a brief history lesson about GameStrong. I was born in Charleston, West Virginia but didn't end up staying there for very long. At the ripe age of two my father took a job overseas and relocated us Alsace, France (in the Rhine region for anyone familiar with the country). Again we didn't stay long and after almost a year we moved again. This time it wasn't that far and we ended up in Paris, France. It was there that I got my first console. At the age of 4 I have vague memories of my older brother (he is two years older than me) and my father playing Super Mario Bros. for the NES. At the age of 5 my father took another job, this time back in the good ol US of A. We moved to Hockessin, Delaware where I stayed for the next 5 years of my life.
It was here in Delaware where I truly learned my love for video games. From Mario to Mega Man with other NES greats such as Punch-out and Contra I spend many afternoons hidden away upstairs in the playroom. Even on days where I was forced outside by my mother I would usually head over to a friends house and play video games with him there. Now don't get confused, I love sports as well. There were many days where me and the neighborhood kids would go out and play football or baseball or basketball, but for every one of those days I also had a video game day. My dad is a huge sports buff and therefore had signed me up for whatever sport was in season for most of my childhood all the way through highschool. So I stayed in reasonable shape and I always felt like my video gaming helped my hand eye coordination out tremendously (I hit .420 my junior year of highschool and made the All-State team for baseball). My fondest memory of my first stint in Delaware was my 4th grade christmas (I cant remember the age, but I know I was in 4th grade). It was the year I got my SNES. Along with it I got the game that I still consider today to be the best game I have ever had the pleasure to play, The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past. It was the first game that I got everything for. I wasted loads of time on that game and I wouldn't change it for the world.
But half way through my 5th grade year my father again took another job and this time it landed us in Brussels, Belgium. I spent the next 5 years of my life there (5th - 10th grade for anyone keeping score). This is really where my video gaming came into the fore front. I lived in a neighborhood of only kids who spoke french and although I attended a french pre-school in Paris, I knew almost no french. Plus as a cocky american who wants to hang out with frenchies anyways. So it was me and my two brothers. My older bro sucks at video games and gave them up after I continually worked him in anything we played. Now my younger bro (7 years younger) would continue to come back for more. We would play and play and no matter what he would always want to play again. Which sometimes sucked when I wanted to play a single player game, but what can you do. You can't pass up a multiplayer game. This was the era of Goldeneye for us. I still have all of the respawn points memorized from the complex. This is probably my third favorite game of all time. Right behind Mario 64. Another con about living in Brussels was that I had an american N64. So I needed American N64 games. Which meant I was limited to 4 or 5 games per visit to the US which happened only once a year. I mean my parents would have people send games over (this was before the internet was huge and my parents still dont like ordering stuff online so you can see the problem there) for birthdays and christmas but I was still deprived of most games. But I got what I needed.
I finally moved back to the US, again to Delaware, where I continued my gaming career and spent my last two years of highschool in Wilmington, DE. To keep this short, because I have already written to much, I then chose West Virginia University for college. I graduated in 4 years with a degree in accounting and now work for a company doing accounting work. I am 23 ( I turn 24 on April 11 so in 6 days). And that is where I am now.
For more on my gaming background here are some bullets to quicken this mess up:
- I have owned every nintendo console except for the virtual boy and have owned every nintendo handhelp up to the GBA
- I therefore consider myself a former nintendo fanboy, and I say former because I personally feel nintendo slapped me in the face and told me to go fuck myself with that gimmick they call a wii mote. (I still own one but only purchase first party games on it)
- The Legend of Zelda series is my absolute favorite series of video games followed by Mario, Mega Man, Donkey Kong, Metroid, God of War, Uncharted, and Elder Scrolls.
- I have been addicted to World of Warcraft twice.
- My first non nintendo console was the xbox 360.
- I own all three current consoles.
- I love sports game and ironically FIFA is my favorite although soccer is my least favorite sport that I actually watch.
- I love adventure games, action games, fighting games, First Person shooters, and basically any solid single player game.
- I have a huge soft spot for side scrollers and over the top shooters (Ikaruga anyone?)
- I love playing old games and being nostalgic.
- that being said the new games absolutely blow my mind and I enjoy playing them.
- I am a huge call of duty nut and believe that I am gods gift to the series.
- I also feel the same way about fight night round 3 (yes I was a button masher, deal with it)
- I can beat the original Mario Bros. without getting hit and can beat Contra with just the given two lives. ( I had no life for an entire semester at college)
- I have never had a girlfriend but I am far from being a virgin.
- Basically I love video games
So that is basically it for my bio. Thank you to anyone who actually read all of it, even if immediately after you commented how gay it was. I look forward to anyone actually reading my blogs and hopefully seeing things as I see them. I am very opinionated and will state that in my blogs. Anyways let me know what you all think and again thanks for reading.

As the Court of Appeal of Alberta begins its second century, society is changing at a rapid pace and presenting the court with new and pressing challenges on questions of law.
Tucked into a back corner of Victoria School of the Arts, a group of Grade 11 students are busy solidifying, in wax, the Court of Appeal of Alberta's major legal decisions and history.
The Court of Appeal hears a wide variety of appeals from ordinary citizens all over Alberta.
As a young person, one of Catherine Fraser's first jobs was stocking shelves in the women's section of a department store for $35 a week.
R v. S.A. In 2008, a young woman committed an assault on Edmonton Transit property and was banned for six months.
Regardless of their position, the people who work at the Court of Appeal of Alberta are linked by a common thread: their passion for the justice system is infectious.
The Court of Appeal of Alberta is known for making bold decisions that have had a significant effect on laws that change the lives of all Canadians.
Not that long ago — about a year before Wayne Gretzky became captain of the Oilers — it was illegal for stores to be open on Sundays in Alberta. A decision made at the Court of Appeal of Alberta in 1983 struck down that law and forever changed the weekend routines of people living in every corner of this province.
The Edmonton Journal and the Calgary Herald have created a six-part series running March 21 to April 11 to help Albertans understand what the Court of Appeal of Alberta is, and how its decisions affect the day-to-day lives of all who live in this province. Chief Justice Catherine Fraser explains what the court is.
Our six-part series on the Court of Appeal in Alberta starts today by answering some fundamental questions about the court and continues on these dates
What do you think happened in these important Court of Appeal cases?

Some of the best Czech women are just a step away. We have many Czech women as our members and each one of them is stunning, to say the least. Women from the Czech Republic are generally very beautiful and most of them have golden white locks, green, large eyes, angular face, thin, ruby red lips and pointy nose. What sets out Czech women apart is their warmth and friendliness. They are full of life and loving interacting with people from other cultures. Modern approach and traditional values are wonderfully juxtaposed in Czech women and they know how to strike a balance very well.
About Czech Republic
Czech Republic is a landlocked country located in Central Europe. In fact, it is situated right in the heart of the European continent. Czech Republic has Poland on its north, Austria on its south, Germany on its west and Slovakia on its east. Historical territories like Moravia, Bohemia and Silesia form a part of this country. The very first evidence of the existence of Czech goes back to the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, a kingdom was established on the Czech lands and since then it had had an important political history. In the year 1996 Czech Republic came into existence after Czechoslovakia was split into Czech Republic and Slovakia.

ASX shareholders approve D'Aloisio payment
Shareholders of the Australian Stock Exchange have given their backing to the nearly $8 million payment to former boss Tony D'Aloisio.
TranscriptALI MOORE: In other business news, shareholders in the Australian Stock Exchange have given their backing to the nearly $8 million payment to Tony D'Alosisio. The company held its annual general meeting today. Chairman Maurice Newman defended the payout saying it had been made to avoid a potential damages claim by Mr D'Alosisio. Sue Lannin reports.
SUE LANNIN: It was the first meeting of ASX shareholders since the company's merger with the Sydney Futures Exchange in July. Chairman Maurice Newman says the merger reflects a consolidation of stock markets around the world. Despite concerns the ASX will monopolise the Australian market.
MAURICE NEWMAN: Not to have succeeded now would not only have been damaging to us, but over time will have globally diminished Australia's financial markets and the economy in general.
SUE LANNIN: The recently appointed managing director says the first phase of the merger will be completed by the end of the year.
MAURICE NEWMAN: It's tough for me to be objective but I think it's off to a flying and a very good start.
SUE LANNIN: The merger makes the ASX the ninth biggest stock market in the world with market capitalisation of $1.2 trillion. Robert Elstone says the company is considering how to respond to a plan to set up a trading system with the New Zealand Stock Exchange.
ROBERT ELSTONE: We take it seriously, but until we become better informed as to what its business model is and how much of a threat it represents it would be premature for me to see anymore on that subject.
SUE LANNIN: Even so, Maurice Newman ruled out a merger of the Australian and New Zealand forces. The hot topic was the $7.8 million payout to former managing director Tony D'Alosisio, which Mr Newman says was paid to avoid a protracted legal battle. Some weren't satisfied.
SHAREHOLDER: Why did you then enter into a contract which had the significant termination exposure and as you suggest, damages exposures?
SUE LANNIN: Mr Newman says the agreement with Mr D'Alosisio took six weeks to negotiate, and without it shareholders would not have agreed to the merger.
MARUICE NEWMAN: The directors were mindful of their responsibilities and duties throughout all of those intense negotiations, and we remain of the view that the outcome was in the very best interests of shareholders.
ROBERT KOPPELHUBER: At the end of the day, his contract was terminated again in unusual circumstances and he probably could have taken legal action against the Australian Stock Exchange which would have ended up costing just as much money anyway.
PAUL FANNING: The merger would not have happened.
ROBERT BRICE: I don't think any big amount is justified for any of these people's payouts. They're far too big.
SUE LANNIN: Shareholders also overwhelmingly supported a change of name from the Australian Stock Exchange Limited to ASX Limited.
ALI MOORE: The number of jobs advertised in major metropolitan newspapers fell by 0.2 per cent in September to the lowest number in five months. However when combined with Internet ads the total rose by just 0.3 per cent according to an ANZ survey released today, the demand for labour is rising, but the rate of increase has steadily diminished since the end of 2005. The survey results indicate employment growth will continue to decline for the rest of 2006. To see how the local market has reacted to those figures and North Korea's nuclear test I spoke earlier to David de Garis at NABCapital.
David De Garis thanks for your time. The market was down today jolted by North Korea?
DAVID de GARIS: It was a bit like that. It was very much a day of two halves. The market investors came in thinking it was going to be very quiet with the US holiday tonight. Japan had a public holiday. The first half of the day was soft. There was a little bit of traction in the metal space with base metals doing better on Friday night. Then there was the North Korea announcement about that nuclear test, and I think the market has treated it pretty maturely as really a regional issue at this particular point in time. Some of the material stocks were off, but we really have to scratch to see much reaction there, only by about 0.1 per cent, BHP and Rio both off by around 0.5 per cent. Not particularly large in the scheme of things. Obviously this is a situation still to be watched very closely, but the market is seeing it as a regional issue at this point.
ALI MOORE: We also got economic news today. Job ads?
DAVID de GARIS: We did. Job advertisements down. They've been off actually more months than they've been up over the past six months or so. That's really been counter to the employment trend that we have seen. Part of that might be leads and lags. We may see the employment growth really start to taper off. In fact we do expect that. We saw another instalment of softer job ads today, even allowing for the fact the Internet is probably taking up more of a share in that market, demand for labour does seem to be easing.
ALI MOORE: Looking ahead, talking about the economy, we've got a key speech on Wednesday from the new Reserve Bank governor?
DAVID de GARIS: Yes, this will be one of the first instalments we have from the Reserve Bank for the past couple of months since the semi annual testimony. We have to go back to mid August to get a tangible view from the Reserve Bank. Then, of course, they were talking about GDP of 3 to 3.5 per cent for Australia and we had June quarter numbers when GDP growth actually printed below 2. That was a little bit slow, but even trend growth was 0.5 per cent, which analyses to about 2. Of course we've had that slowdown in US housing. Quite a lot for the market to chew on. It will be interesting to hear what the governor has to say about all of that.
ALI MOORE: Does he have a reputation for being a straight talker or a reputation for reading the tea leaves?
DAVID de GARIS: Like all Central Bank governors, they play their cards close to their chest.

Ahaha, everyone, should watch the dubbed version of La Blue Girl. That is quite possibly the worst voice acting, in any video,ever.

SSX Blog
Defy Reality. Own the Planet.
Thanks for all the great comments on this week's character reveal of Zoe who's back for another iteration of SSX! She plays an integral part in the game this time around and we're excited to reveal such a fan favorite for you all. Make sure you keep an eye out during the week of Comic Con when Senior Game Designer Sean Smillie will begin blogging about the characters.
In the meantime, we're stoked that you've been enjoying our SSX Iconic Terrain blogs over the past couple of weeks. We are back again to give our thoughts on three more pieces of Iconic Terrain that you can expect to deal with in the new SSX: Platform Jumps, Pillows, and Natural Half-Pipes.
What happens when you take the fissures, break them up even more, put a super windy path around them but keep the whole 'chasm to oblivion' bit? We have platform jumps! Of course, where there's a greater chance of disaster, there's a greater chance of glory. That suits the SSX rider just fine, thanks. Expect a trick happy, express rollercoaster to the global high score table. Of course, this sort of challenge isn't for everyone – that's why you'll only find them on the more challenging regions of the world. Veterans can expect even more extreme short-cuts within these platforms, but the real experts will be the ones treating this dangerous environment as their own supersized personal trick park….
The trouble with jumps and kickers is that you're always looking for your next one. Not with Pillows. We guarantee you jump after jump after jump after jump after jump after jump after jump. The skill of this comes in stringing together all these generous opportunities into the ultimate score. Don't be surprised though when you catch sight of a real veteran sailing overhead, superman posed, while the novice throws down a couple of 720's in a row. It may look like a beginners' environment, but it's where the experts come to show off.
Fabricated half-pipes are the domain of the cultural snowboard expression. In real life you'll find huge lengths of perfectly carved snow surrounded by eager observers hoping to see the next new trick or a glimpse of an upcoming celebrity. Now imagine that, but ten times the size, up in the middle of some unexplored mountain range, filmed by chopper! That's where we really see the evolution in tricks and style! Be careful though, who knows how stable that terrain really is or where it will take you….

(Along with this article, I encourage readers to review my preliminary notes posted at my Seeking Alpha blog on August 30, 2011.)
The Argentine 2011-2012 corn harvest could hit a record 30 million tons.
"Corn output will reach a historic 30 million tons," said Pablo Adreani, head of Agripac consultancy in Buenos Aires, adding the area earmarked for corn could rise to 4.65 million hectares from 4 million hectares last season.
Argentina is the world's No. 2 corn exporter after the United States. Corn futures on the Chicago Board of Trade have jumped more than 60% over the past year.
The Buenos Aires Grains Exchange forecasts 2010-2011 corn output at 21 million tons while the USDA foresees a crop of 22 million tons.
However some industry experts say La Nina could once again hit crops this season but its effect would be moderate. "If good weather permits it, we'll have a corn crop of between 26 and 27 million hectares," said Juan Gear.
After two seasons of declining full-season corn acreage in southern Brazil, the strong domestic corn price is encouraging farmers in southern Brazil to plant more full-season corn in 2011-2012. More full-season corn acreage is also expected to be planted in the states of Minas Gerais and Goias as well. Total full-season corn acreage in Brazil is expected to increase 4% to 5% in 2011-2012 to 8.15-8.22 million hectares.

There was an interesting tidbit in The New York Times you might have missed last week: Patricia Cohen posted a small item about a research paper presented at this year's American Psychology Association convention. The researchers were from Yeshiva University and argued that the Sanhedrin--or, the judicial body that governened Jerusalem in ancient Israel--was surprisingly effective at combating "groupthink."
The term was used by the 1970s psychologist Irving Janis to describe the phenonemon of social conformity. Janis showed how deliberative bodies tended to come to unanimous consensus not because they all actually agreed with one another, but because of various social and psychological pressures.
In their paper, the Yeshiva University researchers--led the by the prominent YU professor and an ordained rabbi, Eliezer Schnall--suggested that the Sanhedrin enacted various successful procedures to prevent groupthink. They're not bad ideas: the Sanhedrin, for instance, made younger members give their opinions before the older members to prevent pressure to agree with their higher-ups; they made members consult outside experts so their opinions weren't hindered by lack of expertise; they postponed announcing their final decison by one day to allow for second doubts to emerge, and give time for members to later announce them; and most interestingly, they used 100 percent unanimimity as grounds for a recall, a worrisome sign of conformity.
Think about that last one for a minute: if a person was unanimously found guilty of a crime, that might actually be grounds to set him free--something the Sanhendrin occasionally did.
That got me thinking: are all these procedures necessarily wise? Some undoubtedly are--I like the youngers-speaking-first thing, personally. But others are much less attractive, like the unanimous consensus policy. I'm all for looking to old practices -- religious ones, secular ones, you name it -- for inspiration. But that this paper, which seemed like a sunny embrace of all things religious, was presented by Yeshiva University scholars made me suspicious. After all, isn't the general tone of that paper--the seemless compatibility of Jewish practices with modern society--a reflection of Modern Orthodox groupthink?
Turns out the researcher in charge of the paper, Eliezer Schnall, has a knack for finding results that tend to bolster religious belief. Last year, our paper covered a survey conducted by Schnall that found "Orthodox marriages may be happier than their secular counterparts," as our reporter wrote. Schnall's research showed that 72 percent of Orthodox men and 74 percent of Orthodox women rated their marriages as "very good" or "excellent," which was significantly higher than the overall U.S. population, who posted 63 percent satifisfaction for men and 60 percent for women.
A couple years before that, The Times published another religion-boosting study by Schnall. It found that post-menapausal women that prayed at least seven times a year were 20 percent less likely to die than those who did prayed any less. The study didn't care what God you prayed to--the Jewish one, Jesus, Allah; no matter--but only that you did.
I'm in no position to claim Schnall's research false. But the strange conformity of his findings--with its clear thrust toward favoring religion--should give one pause. If religion, and Judaism in particular, does have benefits--and no question, it does--I'm not sure science, anyway, is the place to prove it. It's not so much that science and faith are necessarily incompatible, it's just that the justifications for each exist on different planes.
How's that aphorism go, again? I'll paraphrase: For the religous skeptic, there is no answer; for the religous believer, there is no question.

TransCanada Gulf Pipe Start Opens Path for Canada Crude
TransCanada Corp. started moving crude on its Gulf Coast Pipeline, opening up a pathway for more Canadian oil to reach U.S. refineries.
The Gulf Coast line, also known as the southern leg of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, was initially flowing at 288,000 barrels a day and transporting entirely U.S. light, sweet oil to Nederland, Texas, from Cushing, Oklahoma. It will ramp up over the course of the year toward its 700,000-barrel capacity and carry more heavy crude from Canadian oil sands formations, executives said in a press conference at the company's headquarters in Calgary.
"Refiners couldn't access lower-cost domestic production and were forced to pay a premium to ship crude from foreign suppliers," TransCanada Chief Executive Russ Girling said. "The Gulf Coast project will change that."
The $2.3 billion (C$2.55 billion) Gulf Coast line was split apart from the larger Keystone XL project in 2012 after the U.S. rejected TransCanada's initial application because of concern over an environmentally sensitive area in Nebraska. While Keystone XL is debated, the section from Oklahoma to Texas will help prevent a glut of oil from building in Cushing, the U.S. supply hub, and feed less-expensive oil to the Gulf Coast, home to about half of U.S. refining capacity.
West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark, rose $1.76 to $96.73 a barrel, its highest price this year. Its discount to international marker Brent narrowed 22 cents to $11.54, based on March futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange and ICE Futures Europe.
As the line ramps up, it will transport more Canadian oil, Girling said. Once Keystone XL is built, the combined system would probably ship from 500,000 barrels to 700,000 barrels a day of heavy crude from Canada's oil sands region to the Gulf Coast, Girling said.
Girling objected to the statements of environmental groups and Canadian rock legend Neil Young that oil transported on TransCanada's lines to the Gulf Coast would end up in China.
"Not a chance," Girling said. "This oil will be refined by U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast."
Any re-export of Canadian crude from the Gulf Coast wouldn't make economic sense until Canadian oil replaces the roughly 4.5 million barrels a day of overseas imports currently arriving in the U.S., Girling said.
Impact Statement
Girling said he still expects the U.S. State Department to release its final environmental impact statement on the Keystone XL pipeline "within weeks." A 90-day public comment period is expected to precede a final decision, and Girling has said it will take about two years to build the pipeline after it's approved.
Environmental groups and some U.S. lawmakers oppose the Keystone XL system because they say it will facilitate the growth of more carbon-intense heavy oil production in Canada, and increase the risk of pipeline spills.
Canada's oil-sands production made up only a small fraction of one percent of global emissions, and that the extra safety measures put into the Gulf Coast project and Keystone XL will make them the safest pipelines ever built in North America, Girling said.
TransCanada was initially approached by U.S. and Canadian companies in 2007 following the nationalization by the Venezuelan government of heavy-oil operations owned by companies including Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips, Girling said. The goal of Keystone XL was to connect Canada's growing heavy oil production to the U.S., where refineries were configured to process similar heavy grades from Mexico and Venezuela.
Largest Supplier
The Gulf Coast pipeline should begin to shrink the wide discount to global benchmarks that Canadian producers get for their oil at the same time as reducing costs for refineries that now rely on more expensive crudes imported from overseas, according to Girling.
It's "a win-win-win, where producers get a higher price, refineries pay a lower price, and potentially consumers get a better deal at the pump," Girling said. "The winners are North Americans and the losers are international suppliers."
Western Canadian Select, a benchmark for the country's heavy oil output, was $18 a barrel below WTI today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The discount has narrowed by $5 this month before the pipeline's start.
Largest Supplier
Canada is the largest supplier of crude to the U.S., with oil-sands-derived oil from Alberta making up the largest and fastest-growing share of those imports. Canadian oil-sands production grew by an estimated 10.5 percent last year to 1.99 million barrels a day, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
The Gulf Coast pipeline, which is projected to average 520,000 barrels a day during its first year, will be expandable to 830,000 barrels. Construction of a lateral line extending the system from Nederland to Houston-area refineries, is under way and will start up this year, Alex Pourbaix, president of energy and oil pipelines at TransCanada, said at the conference.

Let's see what he really said shall we Carol?
"Look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own," he said. "You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that," he continued. "Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own."
It was about education and infrastructure stupid, without which the most savvy business person couldn't be successful.

Fox grabbed this and beat it up day in day out. Yet it was in the same context as the Kennedy speech. "Ask not what my country can do for me, but what i can do for my country" These ringers are so into self and greed they can't see past their own stupidity on the power of collective infrastructure giving them those opportunities to succeed. Not once being thankful for that but a compulsion to complain that someone else might get something as a handout because they weren't as successful. This is what those extremists use for propaganda to commit terrorist acts against the West. Not because of benevolence but because of greed.

If you give a tax break for an industry, then you need to either cut spending or make up the revenue.
We all know they never cut spending when they issue these breaks.
So do they raise revenues else where? If they raise income or property tax or sales tax then we pay for the tax break.
If they do not raise revenues to make up the difference & do not cut spending, then the amount of that break is added to the debt,for which we are all responsible.
So, t s not a question of of rights o assets. Its a question of who makes up for that loss of revenue?

You had just said that Bush was just one man did not cause the mess all by himself.
Yet you blame Obama everyday for the effects of the Bush recession.
No lying, dancing squirming & denials from you can change that fact.
Above, you blame Obama for a slow recovery (expected from the worst recession in 80 years).. So where is you just one man" argument for Obama like you gave to Bush.
You are a liar. You support Bush & try to lay blame for his failures onto others.
And really, the right whiner ploy of declaring Bush a liberal or a Democrat as a way to hide from your party's failures is pathetic.

You should be a client as now that we have had the whistle blowers testify it's obvious you are the type that barks up the wrong tree. We now know the Obama Administration (IE: Obama and Pillary Clinton):
1 - Lied to the American people
2 - Had people threaten the whistle blowers
3 - Had someone give the stand down order
4 - Basically, for politics (Obama's election), did nothing and did a "cover up"
We also saw the DemocRATS act shamefully yesterday in the hearings.
