If it lives up to Google's expectations, Google Glass may turn out to be the next big thing. But besides winning public acceptance, the odd new device has to face some very real hurdles, including possible restrictions by regulatory agencies and, of course, Congress.
There are also growing warnings that wearing the device may be an invitation to crime, just as smartphones, iPads and laptops are frequent targets of criminals who not only make off with an expensive device but also with quite a bit of the victim's personal information -- a practice known as "Apple-picking."
On the legislative front, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and seven other members of the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus are asking Google CEO Larry Page for more information about Google Glass, saying they're concerned about possible misuse of information gathered by consumers wearing the miniature computer.
"As members of the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus, we are curious whether this new technology could infringe on the privacy of the average American," the letter says.
The letter also poses several questions aimed at making sure consumers' rights are protected, including:
- When using Google Glass, is it true that this product would be able to use Facial Recognition Technology to unveil personal information about whomever and even some inanimate objects that the user is viewing? Would a user be able to request such information? Can a non-user or human subject opt out of this collection of personal data? If so, how? If not, why not?
- In Google's privacy policy, it states that the company "may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number)." Would Google Glass collect any data about the user without the user's knowledge and consent? If so, why? If not, please explain.
- Will Google Glass have the capacity to store any data on the device itself? If so, will Google Glass implement some sort of user authentication system to safeguard stored data? If not, why not? If so, please explain.
The letter asks Page to respond no later than Friday, June 14, 2013. A complete copy of the letter to Google can be found here (pdf).
Others signing the letter include, Rep. John Barrow (D-GA), Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH), Rep. Henry C. "Hank" Johnson Jr. (D-GA), Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), Rep. Richard Nugent (R-FL), Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) and Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA).
Risk of theftAnd then there's the little problem of crime. Google Glass is not exactly something you can hide in your briefcase, backpack or jacket pocket. It sits right there on your face in plain view.
It's now quite commonplace for smartphones, iPads and similar devices to be yanked right out of the user's hand by street thugs who roam the subways, cafes and coffee shops.
Besides their monetary value, portable computing devices increasingly have a lot of very valuable and sensitive personal information stored on them, or contain code that will connect you to the user's info online.
It's not hard to foresee this becoming a major problem. While admittedly, Google Glass would capture an image of the crook approaching the victim, that's not likely to be much consolation.
While companies always assure us they have thought of everything, it often turns out not to be the case, as New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has noted in letters to the CEOs of Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung, requesting that they make changes to their devices that would make it harder for crooks to wipe out the previous user's info in preparation for selling the loot.
In New York City alone, a total of 11,447 cases of stolen "iDevices" (iPhones and other iOS devices) were reported to the New York City Police Department (NYPD) between January 1 and September 23, 2012, a rise of 3,280 over 2011, Schneiderman noted.
"The companies that dominate this industry have a responsibility to their customers to fulfill their promises to ensure safety and security," Schneiderman said. "This is a multi-billion dollar industry that produces some of the most popular and technologically advanced consumer electronic products in the world. Surely we can work together to find solutions that lead to a reduction in violent street crime targeting consumers."
Incidents turn violentSchneiderman listed some recent cases of Apple-picking that have turned violent, including:
- On April 19, 2012, a 26-year-old chef at the Museum of Modern Art was killed for his iPhone on his way home to the Bronx.
- On April 2012, twenty-year-old Alex Herald was stabbed during an iPhone theft.
- In September 2012, in three separate incidents, women were violently attacked for Apple and Samsung devices.
- In February 2013, three people were stabbed on a subway platform in Queens in a fight over an iPhone.
- Earlier this month, a woman was mugged at gunpoint in Crown Heights for her Android device.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention is concerned with a method for recovery of petroleum from viscous petroleum-containing formations including tar sand deposits, and more particularly is concerned with an improved combined miscible flooding noncondensible gas injection technique especially useful in viscous petroleum-containing fromations including tar sand deposits.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There are many subterranean petroleum-containing formations in various parts of the world from which petroleum cannot be recovered by conventional means because the petroleum is too viscous to flow or be pumped. The most extreme example of viscous petroleum-containing formations are the so-called tar sand or bituminous sand deposits. The largest and most famous such deposit is the Athabasca Tar Sand Deposit in the northeastern part of the Province of Alberta, Canada, which is estimated to contain over 700 billion barrels of petroleum. Other extensive deposits are known to exist in the western United States and Venezuela, and smaller deposits exist in Europe and Asia.
Tar sands are defined as sand saturated with a highly viscous crude petroleum material not recoverable in its natural state through a well by ordinary production methods. The petroleum constituent of tar sand deposits are highly bituminous in character. The sand content of tar sand deposits are generally fine quartz sand coated with a layer of water, with the bituminous petroleum material occupying most of the void space around the water wetted sand grains. The balance of the void space is filled with connate water, and some deposits contain small volumes of gas such as air or methane. The sand grains are packed to avoid volume of about 35 percent, which corresponds to 83 percent by weight sand. The balance of the material is bitumen and water, and the sum of bitumen and water is fairly constantly 17 percent by weight, with the bitumen portion thereof varying from about 2 percent to about 16 percent. One of the characteristics of tar sand deposits which differs considerably from conventional petroleum-containing formations is the absence of a consolidated mineral matrix within the formation. The sand grains are in contact although uncemented and the bitumen occupies most of the void space. The API gravity of the bitumen ranges from about 6 to about 8, and the specific gravity at 60� F. is from about 1.006 to about 1.027.
The methods for recovering bituminous petroleum from tar sand deposits include strip mining and in situ processes. Most of the recovery to date has been by means of strip mining, although this is economically feasible only when the ratio of overburden thickness to tar sand deposit thickness is around 1 or less. Vast quantities of petroleum are known to exist in the form of tar sand deposits which are not within a range which is economically suitable for strip mining, and so some form of in situ processes wherein the bitumen or bituminous petroleum is separated from the sand by some means and recovered therefrom by a well or other production means drilled into the tar sand deposit is needed.
In situ processes may be categorized as thermal techniques, including fire flooding and steam flooding, and emulsification drive processes. Emulsification processes frequently also employ steam, plus a basic material such as sodium hydroxide which induces formation of an oil-in-water emulsion having a viscosity substantially lower than the viscosity of the formation petroleum. Thermal processes are suitable for use only in formations having sufficient overburden thickness to permit injection of high pressure fluids. Many tar sand deposits exist in which the overburden thickness is too thin for thermal flooding and too thick for strip mining.
One process for recovering bitumen from tar sand deposits which does not require the presence of sufficient overburden thickness to contain high pressures is solvent flooding. Solvent flooding involves injection of a solvent into the tar sand deposit, which solvent dilutes and reduces the viscosity of the bituminous petroleum to render it mobile and recoverable by means of a well as is normally employed in conventional oil recovery operations. Although laboratory experiments can amply demonstrate that many solvents including aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene, as well as carbon tetrachloride or carbon disulfide, can readily dissolve bituminous petroleum, there are yet problems in some formations which must be solved if commercial exploitation of tar sand deposits by solvent flooding is to be feasible.
The most desirable type of oil recovery operation, including a solvent injection oil recovery process, is the multi-well throughput operation in which a fluid is injected continuously into one or more injection wells and a mixture of the fluid and the petroleum is recovered continously from one or more spaced apart production wells. When solvent is injected into an injection well and begins to move away from the point of entering the petroleum formation adjacent to the injection well, bitumen is dissolved in the solvent; the fluid moving through the formation is the solvent-bitumen solution. The amount of bitumen dissolved in the solvent increases with contact time, and so the solvent-bitumen solution moving through the formation in a general direction of the production well dissolves increasing amounts of bitumen. Since bitumen is an extremely viscous material, it frequently occurs that a solution containing the maximum concentration of bitumen which will dissolve in a given solvent becomes too viscous to flow in the formation. This phenomenon gives rise to the formation of a bitumen bank, or a bank of bitumen and solvent moving like a wave through the formation, but with its viscosity increasing continually as it moves away from the injection point. Eventually, the bitumen-solvent blend viscosity increases to a point where it will no longer move under the available pressure gradient, after which further injection of the solvent into the formation becomes impossible. Although it would be possible to reduce the viscosity of the bitumen bank by contacting it with additional solvent, the sovlent cannot reach bitumen where it is needed most. The receptivity of the formation to solvent decreases dramatically because of the plugging phenomenon without realization of the benefits desired by the injection of solvent into the formation.
It can be seen from the foregoing that there is a substantial need for a method of preventing the formation of a highly viscous, immobile bitumen or bitumen-solvent plug in a tar sand formation. Stated in another way, there is a need for maintaining flow channels open within the formation so that the injected solvent can contact and dissolve bitumen and transport it to the production well.
We have discovered, and this constitutes our invention, that viscous petroleum may be recovered from viscous petroleum-containing formations including tar sand deposits by simultaneously injecting into the formation a solvent for petroleum which is totally in the liquid phase at formation conditions together with a noncondensible gas, i.e., a material, which will remain entirely in the gaseous phase in the reservoir. Since many materials which are totally gaseous at formation temperature and pressure are also quite soluble in the formation petroleum and/or the liquid solvent, the volume of gaseous material injected must exceed the amount which will dissolve in petroleum and/or solvent, since it is essential that a gas phase exist in the reservoir. Since the material remains gaseous at reservoir conditions, formation of an immobile bitumen-solvent plug which prevents the continued flow of fluids therethrough will be prevented. As the viscosity of the bitumen-solvent mixture increases to a point where it becomes immobile, the gas present in the formation channels through the bitumen-solvent mixture and maintains flow channels for the subsequent passage of solvent into the above-described immobile mixture. Solvent suitable for use in the process of our invention include aliphatic hydrocarbons having from about 5 to about 15 carbon atoms, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene or xylene, carbon tetrachloride, certain halogenated hydrocarbons, carbon disulfide, and mixtures of any two or more of the foregoing materials. Kerosene, natural gasoline, naphtha and other commonly available liquid hydrocarbon solvents may also be used. Gases suitable for use in the process of our invention include carbon dioxide, air, nitrogen, low molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons such as methane ethane and propane, and depending on the temperature and pressure existing within the formation, butane, and mixtures thereof.
The Process
The process of our invention comprises a fluid injection-throughput operation necessitating at least one injection well and at least one production well drilled into and in fluid communication with the tar sand deposit. An effective solvent for the particular viscous petroleum or bitumen to which the process is to be applied and which remains entirely liquid at formation temperature and pressure; and a gas, which remains entirely gaseous at the conditions of temperature and pressure existing within the reservoir, is injected simultaneously with the solvent. One preferred embodiment for simultaneous injection of noncondensible gas and solvent according to the process of our invention involves the use of injection wells which have at least two completely separate injection flow paths so the noncondensible gas may be injected via one path and the liquid solvent injected via the other path. This arrangement insures that noncondensible gas and solvent are both entering the formation simultaneously at all times, and further permits the separate control of flow rates of each material. This may be accomplished, for example, by running two parallel tubing strings into the injection well, one for gas and one for solvent, each string being in fluid communication with the formation. Alternatively, a cased well may be utilized with one of the materials being injected via a tubing string run inside the casing and the other material injected via the annular space between the tubing and the casing. One may also utilize a single injection string, injecting sequential slugs of solvent and noncondensible gas, which mix in the formation.
As the injected liquid solvent begins moving through the formation, gas will likely be dispersed therein in the form of discrete pockets or bubbles. Bitumen dissolves in the solvent as solvent moves through the formation, and the concentration of bitumen dissolved in solvent increases with distance from the point of introduction into the formation. As the concentration of bitumen dissolved in solvent increases, the viscosity of the bitumen-solvent solution increases, and so the difference between the viscosity of the gas and the viscosity of the bitumen-solvent mixture increase. As the viscosity of the bitumen-solvent solution becomes so great that the mixture or solution tends to become immobile, the condition which would otherwise tend to cause a plug of highly viscous, immobile bitumen which would defeat further injection of solvent into the formation, gas tends to form minute flow channels within the bitumen-solvent mass. The formation of these elongated flow channels is a consequence of the inherently poor displacement efficiency which results from the displacing fluid viscosity (e.g., gas, in this instance) being much less than the displaced fluid (bitumen and solvent) viscosity. Once the bitumen-solvent material ceases to move, the moving and hence displacing material is the noncondensible gas, and so it tends to function similarly to a gas drive or gas displacement process. It is well known in the art that gas displaces petroleum in a very inefficient manner and tends to channel through the petroleum because of the adverse mobility ratio existing between liquid petroleum and a gas displacing medium. This phenomenon is often referred to in the literature as viscous fingering. Accordingly, as the bitumen-solvent material viscosity becomes so great that it essentially becomes immobile, noncondensible gas fingering through the bitumen-solvent mass occurs. This fingering phenomena in this particular instance is beneficial to the recovery process, since it provides the flow channels for subsequently injected solvent to move through the mass dissolving additional bitumen therefrom. As bitumen is dissolved from the walls of the flow channels, the flow channels themselves become larger, and so eventually more and more of the bitumen can be removed from the plug which was formed in the formation earlier.
The occurrence of these events can be detected on the surface by monitoring the injection pressure and flow rates, as well as by monitoring the concentration of bitumen in the produced bitumen-solvent solution, and the production fluid flow rates. As the bitumen-solvent bank begins to become immobile, the injection pressure increases and the injection flow rate decreases. The injection pressure may be increased somewhat as the flow rate decreases, although it is important to maintain the injection pressure below the point which would cause parting or fracturing of the overburden, with fluid returns being established through the overburden, which would terminate the recovery operation. As a general rule of thumb, the injection pressure in pounds per square inch should not exceed the overburden thickness in feet.
In especially severe situations, as where the injectivity of the formation is quite low, it is desirable to initiate injection of noncondensible gas into the formation before any solvent is injected into the formation. After noncondensible gas has been pumped through the formation for a period of time, saturation of the formation by the noncondensible gas insures the formation of flow channels which will permit subsequent injection of the solvent into the formation without fear of formation of a plug.
Ordinarily, the ratio of volume flow rate of noncondensible gas to volume flow rate of solvent will range from about 0.5 to about 35 standard cubic feet of gas per gallon of solvent. The volume of noncondensible gas in excess of that dissolved in the petroleum and solvent should be from 5 to 100 and preferably from 10 to 40 pore volume percent based on the pore volume to be swept by the solvents.
In certain formations, superior results are achieved if the ratio of noncondensible gas volume flow rate to solvent volume flow rate is tapered or varied with time during the course of the recovery process. In formations containing high concentrations of viscous petroleum or bitumen, for example, it is desirable to start injection with a fairly high ratio of noncondensible gas to solvent, and gradually taper or decrease this gas-solvent ratio to a value within the above stated range as the process continues.
Although excellent recovery of bitumen results from continuous injection of solvent into the formation, the cost of solvents in a continuous solvent injection program is substantial. Accordingly, one may inject from about 0.1 to about 5.0 pore volumes (of formation volume to be swept) of solvent simultaneously with the injection of a noncondensible gas in the range of ratios described above, followed by the injection of an aqueous drive fluid such as water.
Hot water and/or steam may also be injected after solvent injection, to facilitate recovery of petroleum and to recover the solvent previously injected.
While much of the foregoing discussion of the process has been concerned with the mechanism responsible for the benefits resulting from the practice of our invention, we do not wish to represent that this is the only mechanism responsible for benefits resulting from the practice of our process, nor are the benefits described the only benefits to be realized.
The Solvent
Any material capable of dissolving the viscous petroleum or bituminous petroleum contained in the formation to which the process is to be applied, resulting in the formation of a single liquid phase solution of solvent and bitumen having a viscosity substantially less than the viscosity of virgin bitumen, may be used as the solvent in our process. It is essential that the solvent remain entirely in the liquid phase at formation conditions.
Aliphatic hydrocarbons, specifically linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons including alkyl hydrocarbons having from 5 to 15 carbon atoms are suitable solvents under many conditions for use in our invention. For example, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane, undecane or dodecane, etc. and mixtures thereof as well as commercial blends such as kerosene, natural gasoline, or naphtha are excellent solvents in many viscous petroleum-containing formations.
Mononuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, especially benzene, toluene, xylene, or other substituted benzene materials, as well as multiple ring aromatic compounds such as naphthalene are also excellent solvents for use in our process. Economics will generally dictate that only the simpler compounds such as benzene, toluene or xylene, and mixtures thereof, will be used. Mixed aromatic solvents are frequently available from processing streams of refineries which contain a mixture of benzene, toluene, xylene, and substantial amounts of saturated hydrocarbons, and in some instances low molecular weight aliphatic materials such as C5 -C15. Such materials are economical solvents and frequently the materials are very satisfactory for use in our process. Again, this can best be determined by simple tests utilizing the solvent under consideration and a sample of crude petroleum from the formation.
Carbon tetrachloride and certain halogenated hydrocarbons which are insoluble in and unreactive with water may also be utilized alone or as a component of the solvent. Such materials are frequently highly effective for dissolving asphaltic materials.
Carbon disulfide, CS2, is an especially attractive solvent for use in application of our invention to tar sand deposits and other formations which contain highly asphaltic or bituminous petroleum. Carbon disulfide will frequently dissolve fractions of bituminous petroleum from tar sands which cannot be dissolved by conventional solvents. Carbon disulfide may be used alone as the sole constituent of the solvent although such use is expensive. A substantial improvement in the performance of conventional solvents results from the inclusion of a small amount of carbon disulfide in the conventional solvent. Accordingly, an expecially preferred embodiment of our invention involves the use of a mixture of carbon disulfide with a more conventional solvent such as pentane, etc. or with aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, or xylene, or with mixtures of both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
The Noncondensible Gas
Any substance which remains entirely in the gaseous phase at the temperature and pressure of the subterranean petroleum formation may be utilized as the noncondensible gas component in the process of our invention. It is desirable that the gas be essentially unreactive with the materials present in the formation. For example, air is the most readily available noncondensible gas for use under almost all field conditions, but the oxygen constituent of air may react under certain conditions with petroleum or solvent in a low temperature oxidation reaction. This reaction may or may not be adverse to the process but it should be taken into consideration in any contemplated use of air in connection with this process. While air is not the preferred gas for use in the process of our invention, it can be used effectively in many applications.
Nitrogen is a preferred noncondensible gas for use in our process in combination with any of the solvents enumerated above. Nitrogen is readily availabe in many areas at an attractive cost, and it is possible to separate nitrogen from air in the field by techniques well known in the prior art. Nitrogen is essentially unreactive with and insoluble in the solvents or in formation petroleum. Accordingly, one especially preferred embodiment employs utilization of nitrogen alone or in combination with other gases as the noncondensible gas utilized with the above-described solvents.
Carbon dioxide is another excellent noncondensible gas suitable for use in the process of our invention. Carbon dioxide is readily available in the oil field as the by-product of other processes. Exhaust gases from steam generators, engines, etc., which have high carbon dioxide contents, may also be utilized as the noncondensible gas in our process. Although carbon dioxide is soluble in many hydrocarbon solvents and in formation petroleum, it is possible to inject sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide under proper conditions of temperature and pressure that an adequate amount of carbon dioxide remains undissolved in the solvent and petroleum, to form the noncondensible gas phase necessary for the improvement according to the process of our invention. Moreover, dissolution of carbon dioxide in viscous petroleum results in a viscosity reduction, which aids in the recovery thereof.
Low molecular weight hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane may also be utilized as the noncondensible gas of our process. Again, some solubility of these gases may be expected in both the solvent and formation petroleum, and dissolution in bitumen may be beneficial. It is important important to operate so as to have a portion of the injected gas in the gaseous phase, however, Accordingly, another especially preferred embodiment of our process employs low molecular weight hydrocarbons, such as methane, ethane, and depending on the pressure and temperature existing within the formation, propane and butane, in sufficient quantities so they will be gaseous in the formation.
Mixtures of any or all of the above-described gases may also be utilized. The above-described gases comprise the most commonly available and economically attractive choices, although we do not wish to be restricted to these specific materials. Any substance which exist entirely in the gaseous phase at reservoir temperature and pressure and which is essentially unreactive with the solvent and formation materials can be utilized as the noncondensible gas component of the process of our invention.
As previously stated, the ratio of noncondensible gas to solvent should be from about 0.50 to about 35 standard cubic feet of gas per gallon of solvent. In the instance of using gases having appreciable solubility in either the solvent or bitumen, the quantity of gas should be in the higher portion of this range.
Field Example
In order to better understand the process of our invention, the following pilot field example is offered as an illustrative embodiment of our invention; however, it is not meant to be limitative or restrictive thereof.
A tar sand deposit is located at a depth of 125 feet and the thickness of the deposit is 65 feet. Since the ratio of overburden thickness to tar sand deposit thickness is greater than one, the deposit is not economically suitable for strip mining. Since the overburden thickness is only 125 feet, the deposit is too shallow to tolerate the high pressures necessary for thermal recovery operations such as in situ combustion or steam flooding. Accordingly, it is determined that the most attractive method of exploiting this particular reservoir is by means of solvent or miscible flooding. Since the permeability of the formation is low and in view of the nature of the petroleum contained therein, it is determined that a simple solvent injection program would not be satisfactory or successful because of the tendency for a bitumen-solvent bank to form which becomes highly viscous and plugs the formation. Accordingly, a noncondensible gas must be utilized with the solvent.
A mixed aromatic solvent is available from a nearby refinery, the composition of which is approximately 30 percent benzene, 20 percent toluene, 5 percent xylene, and 45 percent mixed aliphatic hydrocarbons ranging from C6 to C10.
Natural gas which is approximately 95 percent methane and the remainder ethane and propane is available in the field and it is determined that this is a suitable noncondensible gas for use in combination with the above-described solvent.
The field pilot is developed utilizing an inverted five-spot pattern with four production wells located at the corners of a 200 foot square and an injection well located in the center thereof. Since the permeability is 25 percent and the sweep efficiency of the pattern utilized in this particular experiment in tar sands is 40 percent, and the vertical thickness contacted will be around 3 feet, the total swept pore volume is 200 � 200 � 3 � 0.25 � 0.40 = 12,000 cubic feet.
Initially, the above described noncondensible gas alone is injected into the formation until gas production at the production wells is detected. This has the effect of increasing liquid solvent injectivity and presaturating the petroleum with gas. It is determined to inject a twenty pore volume percent slug of solvent (17,950 gallons) into the formation simultaneously with the injection of the above-described noncondensible gas. Initially, the gas-solvent ratio is 50 standard cubic feet of gas per gallon of liquid solvent, and this is gradually reduced to 20 SCF gas per gallon of solvent over the period required for the injection of the total 20 pore volume percent slug of liquid solvent. Injection of solvent requires 3 weeks, after which hot water (185� F) injection is initiated to displace the injected solvent slug through the formation. Gas is also injected simultaneously with the injected water in order to insure that the water is saturated with respect to natural gas and also to maintain the gas saturation within the reservoir during the water injection period. During the hot water injection phase, the gaswater ratio is maintained at about 10 standard cubic feet of gas per gallon of water. Water injection is continued until water breaks through at the producing wells and the water-oil ratio rises to about 30 after which continued production is no longer economically feasible.
While our invention has been described in terms of a number of specific illustrative embodiments, it is not so limited and many variations over these specific embodiments will be apparent to persons skilled in the related art without departing from the true spirit and scope of our invention. Furthermore, we do not wish to be limited to any particular explanation of the phenomenon or mechanism resulting from the use of a noncondensible gas in combination with a solvent. It is our wish and intention that our invention be limited and restricted only by such limitations and restrictions as appear in the appended claims.

Did the Koch Brothers' Help Dad Build an Oil Refinery for Adolf Hitler?/0 Comments/in Books & Writing, News, Politics, History & Media, Philip Turner's Books & Writing /by Philip Turner
Wow, this is going to be a blockbuster book. Jane Mayer's latest, due out Jan 19th, is Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right. It's the subject of a NY Times news article tonight by Nicholas Confessore who must've gotten an early copy. He reports on the collective portrait of rightwing billionaire families, including Richard Mellon Scaife, who before his death in 2014 spent more than a billion dollars of his Mellon family fortune pushing conservative causes; most notably, in the 1990s he harassed Bill Clinton through the infamous American Spectator magazine (see "Troopergate" if you need a reminder). I recall of this with firsthand memory because in the early 2000s I edited and published Susan MacDougal's memoir of the years she was pursued by Whitewater Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr, The Woman Who Wouldn't Talk: Why I Wouldn't Testify the Clintons and What I Learned in Jail., whose probe was an outgrowth of Scaife's bankrolling Whitewater into a faux scandal. After discussing Scaife, the book examines an earlier brother pair, Lynde and Harry Bradley; and the DeVos family of Michigan. Apparently, Mayer then moves on to the bulk of her book, the Koch family. Confessore releases this explosive finding from Mayer's investigation:
"The book is largely focused on the Koch family, stretching back to its involvement in the far-right John Birch Society and the political and business activities of their father, Fred C. Koch, who found some of his earliest business success overseas in the years leading up to World War II. One venture was a partnership with the American Nazi sympathizer William Rhodes Davis, who, according to Ms. Mayer, hired Mr. Koch to help build the third-largest oil refinery in the Third Reich, a critical industrial cog in Hitler's war machine."
As editor, I also acquired IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation (2001, Crown Publishing) by Edwin Black, and on this website blogged several times about The Collaboration: Hollywood's Pact with Hitler by Ben Urwand. I have an eye for these sort of titles, and I'm sure this one by Mayer will be fascinating, and important.

I spent the past couple weeks, amid so much disturbing upheaval in the world outside my reading, deeply enjoying Man in Profile: Joseph Mitchell of The New Yorker, by Thomas Kunkel, which Random House published last June. (I had first shared about it on this blog last May.) From Kunkel's acknowledgments at the end I've learned the book was commissioned by Bob Loomis*, the great editor there who, before his retirement in 2012, signed up the book, though the manuscript was evidently delivered after his departure. Mitchell grew up in a tobacco- and cotton-farming family in North Carolina (b. 1908) and, disappointing his father, moved to New York City at twenty-one, determined to become a newspaperman, even amid the Depression; he found work as a copy boy, and soon began reporting and writing, including at the Herald Tribune (where my longtime author, photojournalist Ruth Gruber later worked) and for the World-Telegram, which Mitchell joined in 1930. He began writing for The New Yorker in 1932, and joined the magazine's staff in 1938. Kunkel's book is a superb portrait of Mitchell's whole life, to his death in 1996, and a rich appreciation of his writings.
While reading and really savoring the whole book, every anecdote, every chapter it covers of Mitchell's life, I took down from a bookshelf my copy of Up in the Old Hotel, the 1992 collection that gathered Mitchell's Profiles on true-life New York characters, and other work, which back then put Mitchell back on the map for many readers. Until then, his magazine pieces had frequently been gathered up and published between hardcovers—his first My Ears Are Bent, came out in 1938, followed by McSorley's Wonderful Saloon (1943); Old Mr. Flood (1948); The Bottom of the Harbor (1959) and Joe Gould's Secret (1965)—but it was more than two decades between books when, at the urging of Dan Frank of Pantheon Books, Mitchell published this full omnibus of his work, gathered from those books, and other sources. It made a big splash at the time, getting stellar reviews, and Kunkel tells us that Mitchell welcomed the spotlight that came with being remembered by so many readers, and discovered by even more.
I've had the book since soon after it came out—my copy's a first edition. I was around that time editing and preparing to publish a comparable book, A Diary of Century: Tales from America's Greatest Diarist, by Edward Robb Ellis, a near-contemporary of Mitchell's, who also worked at the World-Telegram, arriving there in 1947. Like Mitchell, Ellis savored writing about memorable NY characters, people like Fred Bronnenkant, riveter for more than thirty years on the Brooklyn Bridge, who had such affection for the span he regarded it as a kind of mistress**. Though Eddie was not quite the consummate stylist that I now see Mitchell was, like Mitchell, he aspired to make great work. Both men learned writing in the same milieu—the midcentury American newspaper, entirely at NY papers for Mitchell, partly true for Ellis, who before coming to the metropolis for what became the last twenty years of his career as an on-staff feature writer, had worked at papers in New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Peoria, and Chicago.*** They deployed vivid imagery, showed a fondness for lengthy list-making (a penchant embraced in more recent years by New Yorker writer John McPhee), a keen interest in what things cost back in the day, and an appreciation for character, with great skill at presenting to readers the people they encountered.
Seeing the success of Up in the Old Hotel, I recalling buying the book in hopes of imbibing some of that vibe and investing Eddie's book with it. Though I was interested in Mitchell and his work, as happens for professional editors I got sidetracked from it, and had in fact never read it thoroughly, nor really sensed the charms of Mitchell's writing until the past couple weeks. During the weeks I was reading the Kunkel bio, I leafed through the 700+page anthology, shown here, and now that I've finished the biography, I'm fully able to dive in to it. Last night, I read and enjoyed the third Profile in the anthology, about Mazie Gordon, a denizen of the Bowery, who ran a "moving-picture house" called the Venice Theatre, and who "Detective Kain [of the Oak Street police station] says that she has the roughest tongue and the softest heart in the Third Precinct." Mitchell chronicles her working life, seated in a glassed-in booth along Park Row, selling movie tickets, and greeting her patrons, some of whom are by her own description "bums" that live in nearby flophouses. She is a key player in the street life near Chatham Square, and the piece includes many conversations she had with bums, cops, priests, and all kinds of urban operators which it seems certain Mitchell overheard. His chronicle of Mazie's proprietorship of the theatre, and her status in the wider neighborhood, is among the most enjoyable things I've read this year.
Here's the first paragraph of the 1940 profile, titled 'Mazie':
"A bossy, yellow-haired blonde named Mazie P. Gordon is a celebrity on the Bowery in the nickel-a-drink saloons and in the all-night restaurants which specialize in pig snouts and cabbage at a dime a platter, she is known by her first name. She makes a round of these establishments practically every night, and drunken bums sometimes come up behind her, slap her on the back, and call her sweetheart. This never annoys her. She has a wry but genuine fondness for bums and is undoubtedly acquainted with more of them than any person in the city. Each day she gives them between five and fifteen dollars in small change….'In my time, I've been as free with my dimes and as old John D himself,' she says. Mazie has presided for twenty-one years over the ticket cage of the Venice Theatre."
Now that I'm finished with the biography, I've also sought out reviews of it, such as a good one by John Williams in the NY Times, and a very insightful essay by Janet Malcolm in the NY Review of Books; she was a colleague of Mitchell's at The New Yorker. Kunkel wrote an earlier biography of Harold Ross, founding editor of The New Yorker, who hired Mitchell for the magazine, after his several-year audition as a contributing writer. I've never met Kunkel, but I'm glad to say I feel connected to him anyway. As it happens, he reviewed Edward Robb Ellis's A Diary of Century when it was published in 1995, with an Introduction by Pete Hamill, concluding his review in the Washington Post with the praise that Ellis's diary of an Everyman, "produc[ed] something akin to Copland's glorious 'Fanfare for the Common Man.'" I'll find a way to share this blog post with him, so I can belatedly let him know how glad I am that he enjoyed Eddie Ellis's book, and I can tell him I felt the same for his superb book on Joseph Mitchell.
* Among Bob Loomis's authors was William Styron; the courtly editor helped me enlist Styron's aid in a championing a book I edited in 1999, about an arguably innocent inmate on Virginia's Death Row. I wrote about that episode in my editorial career in an essay for the BN Review called "William Styron: A Promise Kept."
**Ellis's beguiling entry on Frank Bronnenkant is found on pgs 173-75 of A Diary of the Century (Kodansha America, 1995; republished by me at Union Square Press in 2008). Clicking on this link will take you to all my blog posts about Edward Robb Ellis, which includes one that examines the legacy of notorious faker Joe Gould, the subject of Mitchell's last published Profile, the recently discovered photographer, Vivian Maier, and Ellis, in a 2014 piece I titled "Vivian Maier Was the Real Deal, the Ultra-Opposite of Joe Gould." The relevance here is that Ellis—whose book was drawn from his diary, a journal he began keeping at age 16, and which he stayed with until 89, the longest-kept such record in the history of American letters—and the secretly great and prolific street photographer Maier did each create a magnum opus, while Gould never did, though Mitchell did believe for a time that he really was writing a seminal work, "The Oral History of our Times." And yet Mitchell, even after publishing two long profiles of Gould ('Professor Seagull,' '42, rather credulous) and ('Joe Gould's Secret,' '64, not credulous any longer) did not rebuke Gould. He generously concluded that Gould, some writings by whom he had actually read in the 1940s, had perhaps at least been writing in his mind, as Mitchell did with an uncompleted memoir and novel he never published.
*** For her part, Ruth Gruber, before and after WWII, wrote for the Herald Tribune and the NY Post. Unlike Mitchell and Ellis, she oscillated in and out of journalism, working for a time in the federal government during the FDR Administration, as Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes' special representative to Alaska. Ruth is, so far as I know, the eldest surviving member of the Franklin Roosevelt Administration. This post is about a 104th birthday gathering with her this past October.
Saluting Daniel Halpern, Venerable Champion of Fiction Writers/0 Comments/in Book Biz, Philip Turner's Books & Writing /by Philip Turner
I was delighted to see Publishers Weekly reporting this afternoon that Daniel Halpern of Ecco Press is being awarded The Center for Fiction's annual #MaxwellPerkinsPrize for "championing writers of fiction in the United States." I met Dan in 1987, when his stewardship at the literary magazine Antaeus brought us in to contact. A book I'd edited and published, Suite for Calliope: A Novel of Music and the Circus, won the Drue Heinz Literary Prize, an award sponsored by Antaeus.
Ironically, I had earlier encountered the circus novel, by an as-yet unpublished writer named Ellen Hunnicutt, when I worked as first reader/contest judge at Scribner, who at the time sponsored a first novel prize in Max Perkins's illustrious name*. Though Hunnicutt's didn't win that contest, when my Scribner stint ended I got my first full-time job as an acquiring editor, at Walker & Company, contacted Ms Hunnicutt, and made her book my first-ever fiction acquisition. Some months later, with the novel edited and in galleys, Ellen was named recipient of a different award, the Drue Heinz Literature Prize, chosen and given by Antaeus, for a distinguished body of work in short stories. A few months after Walker & Co published Suite for Calliope, by virtue of an Antaeus arrangement with the University of Pittsburgh Press, Hunnicutt's short fiction was published in a collection titled In the Music Library. This link leads to other essays I've written for this blog that chronicle my experience in acquiring and editing Hunnicutt's truly exceptional novel. The book received a starred review in Kirkus, sold out its hardcover printing, and Dell acquired the paperback rights. All in all, it was a great experience to have with the first novel I ever worked on, made all the better by Dan Halpern's generosity toward my author. To me, it is truly fitting that Dan will receive the later iteration of the Maxwell Perkins Prize. I look forward to congratulating him in person.
* As Editor-in-Chief of Scribner in the 1920s-40s, Perkins edited and published novels by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, among many acclaimed authors.

Graham Bowland, CEO of Surgical Innovations (SI), was a guest speaker at the Global Markets for MedTech conference 2012 in London held last week.
The conference gave export-focused companies like SI the opportunity to present their business strategy in a given country to institutional investors and journalists. Mr Bowland discussed how SI's products initially penetrated the US and our current routes to market.
The presentation came just after the announcement that SI has signed an eight year exclusive distribution agreement with CareFusion, a leading global medical device company, for the world's first pretzel shaped liver retractor – PretzelFlex™ to be sold in the US.

Isaac Loan 1770s NY PA
I am looking for information on my g-g-g-g-grandfather, Isaac Loan. He was born in NY. He had a son, Joseph W., who was born about 1793 near Ligonier, PA or possibly Maryland. Who did Isaac marry? Who were his parents? Can anyone fill in the gaps? Thank you.

Tzatziki Mexicano
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
¡Opa AND Ole! The most difficult aspect for me in creating this recipe was determining whether tzatziki is male or female. If you are inclined to add a wee drop o' tequila (er, say one teaspoon?) to the tzatziki, I won't discourage you...
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup plain yogurt, drained (Greek yogurt is best if you can find it)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1⁄2 jalapenos (seeded if you wish) or 1⁄2 serrano pepper, finely minced (seeded if you wish)
- 2 teaspoons fresh Mexican oregano or 1⁄2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced (NOT dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, minced (NOT dried)
- 1⁄2-2⁄3 cup cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, seeded and diced small (read *NOTE)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
- olive oil
- cumin
- fresh cilantro
- *NOTE: If using organic or garden cucumbers, peel in a "stripe" pattern. If using waxed, store bought cucumbers, peel off all the skin.
- Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate from 1-3 hours.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil around the edges, sprinkle a bit of ground cumin on top and garnish with fresh cilantro sprig.

I think this would be five stars but my lime was sour. I used thick yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice from one of those non juicy limes from the regular grocer, I omitted the fresh hot pepper out of preference, use regular oregano (not sure where it is from), sea salt to taste, Lebanese cucumbers, plus the rest of the ingredients including the cayenne pepper powder. Made for Veggie Swap #46 ~ May 2012 ~
I was hesitant to make this recipe because the thought of peeling and seeding a cucumber seemed very difficult. I was surprised to find that it wasn't difficult at all and it tastes great!
Loved it! Very refreshing. Made as directed for the Unrulies Under the Influence, ZWT6. Thanks, Cookgirl!

Well worth the drive (nothing is very far in Tasmania) to find this wonderfully preserved old power station. Entry is free. The plant has been kept exactly as it was on the last day of it producing hydro power for Tasmania.

For my husband, this was the museum for him, as he wandered around thinking about the Exciters and the Switches, and how they worked, etc. For me, without the engineering interest, it was great to think about what this place was and meant. It's well worth the drive in to see this old 1910s-1920s station.
Waddamana Power Station Museum is set old and rustic. Bring a jumper!
The station sits below gigantic penstocks / pipes - very impressive sight.
There is also an old village with lovely old houses and gardens - you can easily imagine what life may have been like nearly 100 years ago.
Wildlife is everywhere - we saw kookaburra's, kangaroo's, wallaby's...
Fabulous museum of the old Waddamana power station. Dirt road into Waddamana is not a problem just take it easy, we had a great day with the weather sunny & no snow but it might be a bit slippery if it's wet. The museum is the old power station so it's very big & you do a self guided tour,...
