Saudi officials like to fly visitors across the Empty Quarter, the forbidding desert that occupies the eastern portion of the kingdom, to visit the Shaybah oil field. Nestled amid stunning sand dunes like a ship in a vast ochre ocean, Shaybah is a source of national pride for the Saudis -- akin to the Hoover Dam or the Apollo space missions for Americans. To outsiders, the message is: When it comes to oil, you can count on us. "We are the most reliable producer and supplier of crude in the whole world," says Mahmoud M. Abdul Baqi, exploration chief of Saudi Aramco, the giant state-owned company that produces most Saudi oil and gas and exerts powerful control over Saudi Arabia's economy.
Shaybah, which started producing in 1998, is an impressive piece of engineering. Developing the field was made possible by the use of multi-branched wells that were bored under the towering dunes from salt flats interspersed among the red hills. The new wells produce 10 or more times the volume of a traditional vertical well, sharply reducing the number of holes needed and thus slashing costs. Shaybah's installations are built to withstand scorching temperatures of up to 50C. One hundred million cubic feet of sand were moved to construct a new town, complete with giant swimming pool, mosque, and library, to house the 700 or so workers operating the facilities.
But tours of Shaybah may no longer be enough to allay doubts about the shelf life of Saudi Arabia's oil fields and the reliability of its reserve estimates. Long-standing assumptions about Saudi oil are being questioned -- with some observers wondering if Aramco is too resistant to needed outside investment. The doubts come at a time when the kingdom is coping with a domestic Islamist insurgency and a changing relationship with the U.S. The uncertainty is rattling the markets just as oil prices are pushing $40 a barrel and reserves of oil companies, especially those of Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD ), are being revised downward.
Since it's widely assumed that Saudi Arabia controls about a quarter of the world's oil, any doubts about whether the kingdom has the goods go to the heart of the global economic system. Will the Saudis be able to raise production as demand rises and traditional oil sources elsewhere decline? "We cannot afford to be wrong about the ability of key exporters to meet growing oil demand to make up for disruptions in supply," says Robert E. Ebel, director of the energy program at the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), a Washington think tank. "Too much is at stake politically and financially."
"There Is No Plan B"
The most vocal skeptic is Matthew R. Simmons, chairman of Simmons & Co. International, a well-known Houston-based investment bank specializing in energy. He made headlines in February by telling a CSIS audience that the Saudi "miracle" of almost effortless, cheap production was nearing an end. Drawing on technical papers published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and a February, 2003, visit to Saudi oil fields, Simmons thinks the Ghawar Field, the world's largest, with production of 5 million bbl. per day, could be running dry. Other fields of similar vintage -- Ghawar was discovered in 1948 -- such as Forties in Europe's North Sea or Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, have declined sharply from their peaks. "The entire world assumes Saudi Arabia can carry everyone's energy needs on its back cheaply," says Simmons. "If this turns out not to work, there is no Plan B."
Simmons says the big problem is "no data" for the reserves of Saudi Arabia and other big Mideast producers. "No third-party inspector has examined the world's most important [energy] insurance policy for years." If the Saudis don't like the questions, he says, they should present "good, transparent data" to back up their claims. Simmons also suspects that most of the other big Saudi fields, including Abqaiq and Berri, could be past their peak. He thinks production has been sustained by technology -- chiefly a system known as water injection -- and that a sudden collapse in a field is possible. That occurred at Oman's Yidal field, to Shell's regret. He speculates that the Saudis may soon have to develop fields once deemed marginal, boosting capital costs.
If Simmons is right, the Saudis could soon be in deep trouble. Their relations with the U.S. are already strained thanks to the participation of so many Saudis in the September 11 attacks. If it turns out they have much less oil than they claim, "the role of the kingdom would be completely devalued strategically," says Roger Diwan, a senior analyst at consultant PFC Energy in Washington. With no alternative to oil in sight for decades, the U.S. and other consuming nations would increasingly need to look to other sources, such as Russia or Iraq.
Not surprisingly, the Saudis have reacted with shock and dismay to the skepticism. Some mutter darkly about conspiracies against their country. "What's the story? Why this sudden panic?" said Abdul Baqi in a meeting with BusinessWeek at Aramco's Dhahran headquarters in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
Simmons' pronouncement is having one beneficial effect: The tight-lipped Saudis are opening up, to a degree. Three top Aramco reservoir engineers and geologists offered BusinessWeek a scenario as optimistic as Simmons' is gloomy. Even though it has been producing oil for decades, they say, Saudi Arabia has depleted only 28% of its proved reserves. Not only does it have 260 billion bbl. of proved reserves with a 90% probability of recovery, 100 billion more barrels of already discovered oil may be recoverable, especially as technology improves. As for Ghawar, the Saudis produced detailed data showing that pressure is steady and water content of the oil -- a sign of trouble if it's extensive -- is under control. "I think [Simmons' argument] is completely wrong -- based on flawed statistics and very poor engineering analysis," says Nansen G. Saleri, a longtime Chevron (CVX ) veteran who is now Aramco's chief of reservoir management.
The Saudis conclude that the kingdom could easily ramp up to 10 million bbl. a day from its current 8.5 million and comfortably sustain that level through 2042. If demand is really strong, they insist, the kingdom could build up to 12 million bbl. a day by 2016 and hold that level out of existing reserves until 2033.
But while few in the industry doubt the Saudis have huge quantities of oil, experts warn that even the Saudis won't know their capabilities until an actual ramp-up. "Even they won't know until they have tested," says Herman Franssen, president of International Energy Associates Inc., an energy consultant in Chevy Chase, Md. And the Saudis may face far greater challenges in developing their reserves and maintaining production than they would like to admit. "We think Saudi Arabia has huge reserves," says Fatih Birol, chief economist at International Energy Agency, a Paris-based intergovernmental group that monitors global energy supply. "We also recognize that these reserves may have geological surprises ranging from steep decline rates in some giant fields to water [problems]."
In addition, if older fields elsewhere in the world run dry, the Saudi fields may be called upon to perform heroically: Birol estimates that the Saudis would need to double current production capacity, to 20 million bbl. a day, by 2020. His agency figures that global demand for oil will grow from 80 million bbl. a day in 2004 to 115 million by 2020. In this scenario, the Saudis would be supplying close to 30% of that increase.
The Saudis and some analysts are skeptical that demand will rise that much, even with behemoth China consuming as much as it can. One reason: Higher prices may curb the world's thirst. "Some of these long-term forecasts are way off the mark," says Saddad Husseini, who recently retired as Aramco's executive vice-president. "They show a minimal change in price and a huge increase in demand." But among outside analysts, there is lingering concern about whether the Saudis are moving fast enough to develop new sources of crude. "The issue is not whether there is enough oil but rather whether they have the willingness and the ability to develop it in a timely manner," says Edward L. Morse, a former U.S. official for global energy policy and now a senior adviser at Hetco, a New York-based energy trader.
The numbers are huge. With new capacity costing $3,000 to $6,000 per daily barrel, the Saudis would have to spend somewhere around $6 billion to $12 billion just to get to 12 million bbl. a day -- along with substantial costs to maintain production. Doubling output would require much broader investment, perhaps $150 billion, Birol estimates. He worries that because Saudi Arabia and other big Mideast producers, such as Iran, are largely closed to foreign investment, there may be financing constraints. "If the reserves are closed to [foreign direct investment], they may not be able to find the necessary funds," he says.
For now, with oil prices high, Aramco doesn't seem to be having any problem making the case for its budget to the Saudi government. But economists in the kingdom think that in coming years, with a growing population and demand for more schools, hospitals, and other public services, Aramco could find its spending curtailed. Its executives shrug off such concerns. Projects such as Shaybah have come in ahead of schedule and below cost.
Aramco executives also like to distinguish their organization from other national oil companies, arguing that Aramco retains the commercial ethos of its founding American partners -- not the sometimes lax attitude common at most state-run organizations. Certainly, Aramco personnel are an elite among Saudi industry. Engineers display an American-style, can-do approach to their jobs. Onsite, at least, they wear Western clothes -- not the cumbersome Saudi national uniform of white robes and checkered kaffiyehs. "I worked 18 years at Chevron, and I don't really see the difference," says Saleri. "In fact, as far as the ability to do things, we have tremendous empowerment."
Gingerly Pace
Yet Aramco is also different from an international oil company. It is managing gigantic fields with a long-term strategy rather than milking smaller ones for all they're worth, as majors often do. Shaybah is now producing about 550,000 bbl. a day -- even though Aramco execs say that with close to 16 billion bbl. of reserves, the field could easily be milked for 1 million bbl. a day. An oil major, under pressure to maximize returns on capital, would likely be pumping at much nearer that level. But Aramco is proceeding at a gingerly pace, preferring to more fully understand Shaybah's reservoirs before pushing them harder, even though the field's high-quality crude brings a premium of a dollar or more per barrel over the heavier oil from other Saudi fields. "We drive slowly, not fast," says Saleri.
Aramco execs say they don't feel much urgency to add production capacity. They plan a hike of 1.4 million bbl. a day or so by 2009, but that might just make up for depletion in the years between. But Aramco execs may have another reason to downplay talk of a crisis: They don't want the government in Riyadh to invite oil majors in to develop the next generation of Saudi oil fields. Aramco isn't happy about the prospect of having foreign companies operating in the kingdom. They like having all of those reserves for themselves -- and would probably balk at the hard-charging style of an Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM ) or a BP PLC (BP ).
Partly because of Aramco's opposition, a four-year, high-profile effort led by Crown Prince Abdullah to attract global companies to explore for gas to power electricity, petrochemical, and water projects worth tens of billions of dollars collapsed last year. It was replaced by much more modest wildcat exploration schemes. ExxonMobil and BP walked away, while Royal Dutch/Shell and Total (TOT ) agreed to an exploration deal. In March, several more global companies, including Russia's Lukoil (LUK ), Spain's Repsol YPF (REP ), and Italy's ENI (E ) signed gas-exploration deals.
One goal of the gas initiative, according to sources close to the project, was to break Aramco's domination of the Saudi oil-and-gas industry. But Crown Prince Abdullah and Foreign Minister Saud al Faisal underestimated the power of Aramco and Oil Minister Ali Naimi, a fierce advocate of the national company who was its first Saudi CEO. Naimi and his minions drove the majors crazy by restricting them to exploration acreage they considered marginal. At the signing ceremony on Mar. 7, Naimi hinted that it will be a long time before more foreign investors are let into the kingdom's oil-and-gas industry. "It is necessary to slow down to know the results of this work," he said.
Still, Saudi Arabia is changing, and Naimi, who is 68, won't be in his job forever. Like the proverbial camel, international oil companies have their noses under the Saudi tent. As demand for oil rises, they hope they'll find a way in.

Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS)MEET THE DIS!
A key player in the public health Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) field is the Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS). There are 11 DIS in Oregon and two field supervisors. Most of DIS are based in the Portland metropolitan area. DIS are trained professionals, informed about the causes and spread of STDs, skilled in taking sexual histories, identifying and locating people who may have been exposed to an STD, and know where to refer people for evaluation and treatment. DIS provide counseling about behaviors that put a person at risk for STDs, including HIV infection.
DIS are available to help medical providers locate patients who have been tested but did not return to get positive test results or treatment. In those cases, they can act as an agent of the medical provider, using their resources and experience to locate these patients. Once located, patients are referred back to the original provider or to a county clinic as appropriate.In addition to individual case follow up, DIS offer STD educational outreach to audiences, such as colleges, correctional facilities, health care providers, community organizations and the general public.
DIS focus on:
Generally, the patient and the DIS arrive at a plan to assure that at-risk partners are notified. In some instances, the patient decides to notify and refer their sexual partners. In this case the DIS provides coaching on how to do this successfully. In other cases, patients prefer that the DIS inform their partner. When a DIS notifies exposed partners, identifying information about the original patient is never disclosed. The DIS operates confidentially, is persistent without being aggressive and maintains a sense of urgency. The goal is for patients and named partners to receive notification within 48 hours.

Seneker Lane residents asking for city water, say well water is making them sick
Water tested positive for bacteria, contamination
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Residents on Seneker Lane in Sullivan County claim their well water is making them sick.
"Do not drink that water. Don't brush your teeth with that water. Only use it to take a shower," said Dean Millard's doctor. He went to the physician after he started having stomach problems years ago.
So Millard and other residents on the street, including Wayne Jewell, use bottled water for pretty much everything. "We only use the well water to shower. We cook with the bottled water," said Jewell. "I'd like to have good, clean water coming into my house to brush my teeth with."
According to the Bristol, Tennessee Public Works Department, five of seven homes recently tested on Seneker Lane tested positive for contamination. "It has E. coli and bacteria in it," explained Millard.
But Bill Sorah, the Bristol deputy city manager for public works, said they can't afford to extend 6,800 feet of pipes between Highway 11W and Island Road to the residents in the area.
"It's really aggravating that they won't help us," Millard said.
According to Sorah, running municipal water to the area would cost about $500,000. With only about 25 homes in the area, that would break down to about $20,000 per home.
That's a price tag he said is too much for the city. "That's a project that's not considered economically feasible," he said.
"Aren't our families and children worth that much?" asked Millard.
Sorah said Sullivan County has applied for grants over the past decade to cover the cost, but they were rejected. "We're certainly going to continue to pursue funding for the project but it's unknown if or when funds may be available," he said.
Sullivan County Mayor Steve Godsey said he's working to find the funds to help the residents. "These are people in desperate need. This is the most inhumane situation I've ever seen," he said.
Godsey is trying to work with Congressman Phil Roe and Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey to find a solution to the well water woes.

The Ice Hotel didn't eventuate so we decided to check out the next best thing, an Ice Bar. Thinking it would be very popular and crowded on a Saturday night we headed there for a pre-dinner drink. We first had to buy a ticket that entitled us to a free drink then we were shown down to the bar (basically a big freezer) having to don silver wrap cloaks prior to entering. We had our drink, some Finlandia vodka mixes, and then with little else to do in the small bar we left to get some dinner at the Manhattan Steak House. Somehow Megs accidentally procured a pair of Finlandia Vodka gloves on the way out. We're not sure how they got hidden under her arm pit.

Prep Time 15 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
Separate one egg at a time into a small bowl, letting the white fall into the bowl and discarding the yolk. If there's any trace of yolk in the white, discard the white and start over. If it's yolk-free, transfer to a clean medium mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.
Step 2
Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until all the sugar has been added. Continue beating until the whites are stiff and glossy. Add almond extract and beat for 30 seconds more. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold almonds and coconut into the meringue until combined; do not overmix.
Step 3
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place a small amount of the meringue under each corner of the paper to secure it to the pan. Fill a 1-quart sealable plastic bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip) with the meringue. Seal the bag almost completely, leaving a small opening for air to escape from the top as you squeeze. Snip off one corner of the bag with scissors, making a 3/4-inch-wide opening. Fold the top of the bag over a few times, then gently push the meringue down to the snipped corner. Working with the bag perpendicular to the baking sheet, pipe the meringue into 1 1/2-inch-diameter cookies, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
Step 4
Bake the cookies until dry and crisp throughout, about 11/2 hours. Transfer the pans to wire racks and let the cookies cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Mexican documentary 'Presumed Guilty' finds justice
In the three years since its theatrical premiere, the Mexican documentary "Presumed Guilty" ("Presunto Culpable") has earned enough headlines to make any film publicist envious. The movie has been banned, disparaged, acclaimed, and the subject of multiple lawsuits. Along the way, it has broken every documentary box office record in Mexico. Now a series of judicial decisions in the past week suggests that, while the discussion it sparked will continue, the film's legal battles may be drawing to a close.

I dont think he would be a great fit for the giants though, at least not with the defense they currently run. Lots of C3, which I think will highlight his weaknesses.

But still, they have run a lot more zone than this year than they did tonight.
And the Giants selected Prince, a physical press cover guy in college just like Rhodes who dominates WRs early in the route and is a physical tackler in run support. So I dont see how he isnt our type of guy.
GMs covet college corners with man skills since that is the hardest thing to learn. There is a reason teams that play Press coverage put a lot of corners into the NFL.
Last edited by BlueSanta; 01-02-2013 at 12:48 AM.
So now it ia about 40 time? Which btw, hasnt even been run yet. Nobody knows what Rhodes will run right now. Remember, prior to the combine people questioned Prince's speed. We will know more when we see what Rhodes runs. If anything I think Rhodes is a better prospect coming out that Prince was, but his past knee surgery will likely have him fall to the later part of the 1st as it adds risk to him as a prospect.
Prince is much looser in the hips and runs better. Rhodes is more physical, more of a hitter but does not turn as easily as Prince, and doesnt have as good recovery speed.
Rhodes may have the upside of a Richard Sherman type, but he will need to learn to be as good with the grabbing and getting away with it. Thats how the heavier CBs without great speed are going to survive in the NFL.

And I'm basing his speed on how I see him play. He grabs a lot instead of just running with guys. To me that shows he doesn't have great speed.
As far as shutting guys down in college. That's all well and good. But CBs get away with a lot more in college. And they don't have to spend as much time isolated against exceptionally fast receivers.

Two noted international documentarians will screen recent films at the University of Colorado Boulder in the coming weeks.
Lucien Castaing-Taylor, a professor of anthropology at Harvard University who previously taught at CU-Boulder, will present and discuss his award-winning documentary "Leviathan" on Thursday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m. in room E-50 of the Muenzinger building.
Academy Award winner Alex Gibney will screen his 2013 documentary "We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks" on Monday, May 5, at 7 p.m. in room 102 of the ATLAS building. Both screenings are free and open to the public.
"Lucien Castaing-Taylor is one of the world's pre-eminent ethnographic filmmakers," said Dan Boord, professor of film studies and director of CU-Boulder's Stan Brakhage Center for media studies. "He brings to his work a close study of culture and masterful experimental filmmaking techniques."
Gibney's work "casts new and piercing light on some of the most important and controversial stories of the day," said Boord.
"Leviathan," directed by Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel, has no narration or interviews. Instead, viewers are immersed in the sights and sounds of a fishing boat navigating the often-dangerous waters off the New England coastline -- the same waters that inspired "Moby Dick."
The film uses an arsenal of cameras that allows the point of view to swoop rapidly from below sea level up into the sky. It was released internationally, has regularly appeared in film critics' top 10 documentary lists and won numerous awards.
Gibney's "We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wiki-Leaks" explores the 2010 leak of an enormous amount of classified U.S. data and the impact of the revelations on international events.
Gibney is a producer and director known for the films "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson," "Taxi to the Dark Side" and "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room."
The screenings are sponsored by CU-Boulder's Department of Anthropology, Film Studies program and the initiative for the proposed College of Media, Communication and Information (CMCI) at CU-Boulder.
The proposed CMCI would unite seven CU-Boulder departments and programs focused on digital storytelling in its scholarly, journalistic, creative and persuasive forms. The college would include a new Master of Fine Arts in interdisciplinary documentary media practices, as well as an undergraduate concentration in documentary media.
For more information, and to comment on, the proposal for the College of Media, Communication and Information visit www.colorado.edu/cmci. For more information about the screenings call 303-492-0460.
Gibney's work "casts new and piercing light on some of the most important and controversial stories of the day," said Boord.

ECU softball players make C-USA All-Academic team
ECU softball players make C-USA All-Academic team
East Carolina junior outfielder Jill Jelnick and sophomore pitcher Sarah Christian were selected to the 2013 Conference USA Softball All-Academic Team, according to an announcement by the league office on Tuesday afternoon. East Carolina's two selections were tied for the most in the conference along with Marshall, Southern Miss, Tulsa and UTEP. The multiple selections for ECU were the most for the program since three Pirates were chosen for the conference's all-academic team during the 2010 season.
Jelnick was one of only two players that was a repeat selection to this year's team along with Tulsa's Jill Barrett. Seven seniors, four juniors and two sophomores from around the conference were chosen for the academic squad in 2013.
Last week, Jelnick was named to the Capital One Academic All-District 3 First Team for the second time and is now eligible for the Capital One Academic All?America Team, which will be chosen later this month. The All-Academic team honor is the second of her career as she was also named to the team as a sophomore when she also had a 4.00 cumulative grade-point average.
For her work in the classroom, Jelnick has received the Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Medal (3.75+ GPA) and a place on the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll (3.0+ GPA) three times. In every semester at East Carolina, she has earned the school's Chancellor's List (4.0 GPA) designation. At the end of the 2010-11 academic year, Jelnick was tabbed as a National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America Scholar Athlete.
On the field for the Pirates, the Aliso Viejo, Calif., product is tied for the team lead in hits with 47. She is second on the team in runs scored (26) and stolen bases (7). Jelnick is one of only four players on the squad to have played in all 51 games and is hitting .283 with five doubles, two triples, 13 walks, 15 RBI and 59 total bases. Jelnick is third on the team with 12 multiple-hit games and is tied for third on the squad with four multiple-RBI games. During the Conference USA campaign, she is tied for the team lead with her 20 hits, while also scoring 11 runs and driving in seven.
Christian, a former DH Conley High School star, has worked as the team's primary pitcher this season and leads the team in wins (15), ERA (2.94), appearances (35), games started (25), complete games (16), saves (1), innings pitched (169) and strikeouts (104). Her appearances and win total placed her tied for fourth in the conference, while her games started is fifth-best in the league.
She has also stood out in the classroom with a cumulative GPA of 3.73 and a place on the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll in her first two years on campus.
East Carolina (21-30, 11-12 C-USA) returns to action on Thursday in the first round of the Conference USA Tournament. The Pirates enter as fifth seed and play fourth-seeded Marshall (32-20, 13-10 C-USA) at 8 p.m. (ET) at the Collins Family Softball Complex in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

New to the bees this year, enjoying this hobby immensely. Rarely do I say hello to the fam. before I say hello to the girls when I get home from work.

Some brain fades do not pass the smell test. Never will. The way the Act leader ponied up to Kim Dotcom for anonymous political donations does not pass the smell test. Brain fades. Don't you just love them?
I was accosted by one such afflicted male at the NZ Initiative's soiree for John Howard on Thursday. "I gave you a ride home 20 years ago ... you had a quaint Auckland cottage," he said. I didn't have to plumb the annals of amnesia. (I have never lived in a cottage in Auckland.) "Some other journalist?' I teased, slyly tossing in the name of a former female competitor who fitted the bill.
For New Zealand politicians brain fades are proving more serious than momentary social embarrassment. But they can be a useful political tool.
When I pursued a line of questioning with former Australian Liberal Prime Minister John Howard on whether Kevin Rudd would have the bottle to take out Julia Gillard (as it turned out, he didn't), Howard enjoyed himself, saying, "I think she is finished."
But when I contrasted Rudd's predicament with that of former Liberal Treasurer Peter Costello (who never mustered the courage to take out his boss) it was obvious Howard had reached the stage where it is politic to deploy a brain fade.
"He was a magnificent treasurer. Best treasurer Australia has ever had. We were a very good team. We worked together very closely for 12 years. Had the same Prime Minister, same Foreign Minister, same Treasurer for the entire time. The only time in Australian history where we had three people in those positions for such a lengthy time in Government."
In truth, Costello had lumped around Rotorua like a wounded elephant after Howard blew the centrepiece of one of his Budgets on the front-page of the Australian Financial Review while he was safely on this side of the Tasman, after the Treasurer's supporters tried to get their guy to man-up enough to have a crack at the leadership.
But that was then and this is now.
Labour's David Shearer tried (and failed) to fatally puncture John Key's credibility over the Prime Minister's failure to recall aspects of GCSB briefings on the Kim Dotcom saga. Shearer alleged Key hadn't told the truth. But he never managed to produce the smoking gun that would have made Key's grip on the helm untenable. A video Shearer claimed would have proved Key an outright liar never materialised, much to the Labour leader's chagrin.
Key has learned a lot from the Dotcom saga. He knows he can't rely on his memory to reliably recall all aspects of departmental briefings.
That's why he is demanding a higher level of staff work these days to ensure the official record leaves nothing to chance.
But his biggest lesson is not to trust officials' own analysis or memory when your political career depends on it. Key now demands officials check and recheck files, briefing notes and legal analysis before producing the final word on an issue for their boss to front in Parliament. There have been too many close calls.
I'm not particularly surprised Key is prone to brain fades.
Sleep specialist Alex Bartle said this week, "You need six hours' sleep to consolidate memory from that day and most people need another hour or two to wake up feeling refreshed."
One close Key observer from his foreign exchange trading days reckons that years of light sleep (the PM says he regularly clocks out of work at 1am and is up again at 6am) have taken a toll.
It is also true that politicians simply have many more interactions that most of us. More meetings, more glad-handing, more baby-kissing, more interviews, more report reading ... so it goes on.
But some brain fades do not pass the smell test. Never will.
The John Banks affair was egregious. The way the Act leader ponied up to Kim Dotcom for anonymous political donations does not pass the smell test.
Banks' attempt this week to nail Shearer for forgetting to include an overseas bank account in the list of pecuniary interests he is required to furnish to Parliament does not get him off the hook he fashioned for himself with Dotcom.
I also find it hard to believe that Shearer simply forgot his stash at New York City's Chase Manhattan Bank.
The amount was more than $50,000.
It may have been that his financial affairs were so structured that he did not believe he was required to let fellow MPs - and the public - know about the extent of his overseas wealth. And that he recently realised that in fact he was required to list the account.
For Shearer, there will be transitory embarrassment as the guessing game extends to toting up how much money he could have stashed away from his years as a former United Nations employee enjoying a tax-free status and gold-plated allowances.
But fundamentally, he is human - just like the rest of us.

Reviews of this property
We did not stay at this property after being shown around it. The small ground floor hall/ reception / living room had no natural light. The steep narrow stairs to the next floor opened straight into a bedroom and seating area overlooking the backs of other properties. The narrow stairs continued to a kitchen/dining area and the tiny shower room/ toilet was off the small balcony. There was an extremely strong unpleasant smell in the shower room and the host's husband responded to my query about dealing with the smell by saying we could find another place to stay if we wanted to. On reflection we decided we did not want to stay and had to find other accomodation - not though Wimdu.
We tried to contact Wimdu about this problem immediately and on their urgent line and beyond a message saying they were dealing with it, nothing more has been heard from them. This was 6 days ago and we are now back in the UK. We propose to follow it up next week and expect a full refund.
We found Giardini Naxos a good place to stay - in spite of the somewhat dismissive comments made in some of the guidebooks. It's bustling, well-positioned to visit the surrounding area, and unpretentious. It caters well for tourists, but there seemed to be a real town there as well - which suited us perfectly. It also has the largest and oldest archaeological 'dig' we saw, although the visible remains are somewhat diffuse, and lack the majesty of Syracuse or Taormina.
The house is split over 3 levels - kitchenand terrace on top, bedroom and terrace in the middle, and the sort-of antechamber on the ground floor. It has been recently refurbished to a high spec in 2015, and it is gorgeous - absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway. Due to the open-plan nature of the house, and lack of doors to the stairs, it is not really suitable for small children, or big enough for families.
Tano - our host and Mia's husband - was absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked more from him when it came to the practicalities, and he was convivial company when we bumped in to him in one of the restaurants on the waterfront.
Just round the corner is a great bar called Salamone. It plays good music, serves great ice-cream and has the best bar-nibbles I've ever seen.
It was a nice stay in Mia and Tanos house in Giardini Naxos. We had a very friendly and warm welcome when we arrived. They even set up a plate of fruits in the kitchen. The house was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The balcony in the first floor is really nicely done up with a little pavillon and a couch with pillows.
The sea is only two minutes away and there are many shops, restaurants and supermarkets in the neighbourhood.
We had a really nice time there and enjoyed our stay.
Best regards,
Lisa & Martin
We had a lovely stay in Giardini Naxos. The house was perfect for us; it was very comfortable, quiet and spacious (for two people). The proximity to the beach, restaurants and shops was an added bonus. There is plenty of parking along the beach so, we abandoned our rental car for a few days. We loved our very relaxed stay in Giardini Naxos. Mia and Tomo were wonderful hosts; giving us recommendations and tips on good restaurants, tours and directions. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The house is situated in a quiet side street, just a few meters from the beach and to restaurants. It goes over 3 floors: Downstairs living room, in the middle of the master bedroom with balcony and kitchen with top of the bathroom. The stories are interconnected open (no doors). The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Overall, highly recommended.
Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Seitengasse, nur wenige Meter vom Stand und von Restaurants entfernt. Es geht über 3 Stockwerke: Unten ein Wohnzimmer, in der Mitte das Schlafzimmer mit Balkon und zuoberst die Küche mit Bad. Die Stockwerke sind offen miteinander verbunden (keine Türen). Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und verfügt über alles Notwendige. Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert.
Con Mia y Gaetano todo ha sido muy fácil desde el principio. Nos facilitaron mucha información antes del viaje y una vez en Giardini Naxos (Sicilia). Tras un viaje desde el aeropuerto de Trapani de 4h nos recibieron con fruta y bebida, ideal para reponerse del tute en coche. La casa consta de 3 estancias conectadas por escaleras algo estrechas y empinadas, que tiene baño y cocina en la superior, dormitorio y terraza en la intermedia, y recibidor con sofá cama en la que está a pie de calle. Más que suficiente para nuestras necesidades para 5 días. Está en segunda linea de mar a menos de 3 minutos andando de la playa así como del paseo marítimo donde se concentra toda la vida de Giardini Nachos. Recomendado el uso de repelente de mosquitos si se quiere disfrutar de la terraza! No hay que preocuparse por la ropa de baño ni de dormitorio, además disponen de sombrilla y toallas para la playa, todo muy conveniente para reducir el equipaje. En general todo correcto y en el epicentro de la actividad del pueblo.
Vi kan varmt rekommendera detta boende. Blev upphämtade av vår trevliga värd Tano på busshållplatsen som tog oss till vårt boende. Vår värd hade verkligen tänkt på allt vad man behövde när man anländer till en lägenhet. Vatten, frukt, en flaska vin i kylen och is i frysen. Allt det du behöver för att kunna diska, torka och handdukar, badhandukar och lakan. Ren och fin lägenhet ett stenkast från havet. Läget kändes perfekt och var tyst på natten. Vi var så nöjda med vår vistelse och boende och vår värd Tano förhöjde den känslan ytterligare med sitt gästvänliga oerhört hjälpsamma sätt!
Erg gastvrij ontvangen. Fijne plek tussen de locale. Strand, boulevard en supermarkt om de hoek. In het huis alles aanwezig. ( ook fleecdekens voor een koude avond en keukengerei te over.
Wir waren eine Woche im Haus von Mia und Tano. Die beiden waren sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber und haben uns tolle Tipps gegeben. Bei unserer Ankunft war der Kühlschrank mir frischem Obst gefüllt!! Danke vielmals!
Das Haus ist wirklich nahe am Meer und sehr zentral gelegen. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und alles verlief sehr unkompliziert.
Danke für die tolle Woche!
Tanja und Michael, Schweiz
Abbiamo soggiornato una settimana in questo alloggio, la casa è disposta su tre livelli, è arredata in modo piacevole e confortevole, con mobili e combinazioni giuste che danno all'appartamento un insieme funzionale ed armonioso. La posizione dell'immobile è veramente strategica, a poche decine di metri dal lungomare (attrezzato e ricco di locali di ogni tipo), ed a pochi chilometri da Taormina, dall'Etna e tantissimi luoghi che vale la pena visitare. I proprietari ci hanno accolto con grande gentilezza piena di piccole attenzioni, la loro cortesia si è manifestata già prima di conoscerli personalmente, nelle poche comunicazioni mail e telefoniche.
I proprietari (Tano e Mia ) ci hanno dato dei validi suggerimenti per itinerari, locali dove cenare e fare spesa; con grande discrezione, si sono dimostrati molto ospitali e generosi, è stato veramente un piacere conoscerli. Torneremo sicuramente a trovarli. Consiglio quest'alloggio a chiunque voglia soggiornare a Giardini di Naxos.

DSA make the best in my opinion, since they got the blueprints from Steyr and FN and are forged, differencially heat treated and really well made.
Coonan used to make some nice cast ones for Federal Arms but when Fed Arms went Tango Uniform they kept the rights to the receiver/machinery and so Coonan is now having to redo all the work. Hopefully they'll have some out this year.
Imbel, very hard to get right now, made to FN spec in Brazil. Some of the later ones might need a little more tweaking to get to fit right.
My experiences with Enterprise have been entirely negative. The L1A1 receiver they sent me a while ago made some of the crap that the angry gun monkeys at Century make look good.
That's about it.

We had a great stay in Barcelona. Eventhough Willie was not at home at our arrival he managed everything so we still could get into the apartment. We got some great tips and he helped us pretty much.
The room was not too big, but clean and still big enough. We could use the food for breakfast, eventhough we bought some extra. It is perfectly located in the center of Barcelona, so you could visit many interesting places by foot and a metro station isn't far aswell.
Willie was a very good host. I felt really welcome with him and in his appartment.
He was friendly and calm and ready to help me whenever necessary (e.g. carrying my bag on the stairs).
The appartment, being situated on the third floor, received enough sunlight to be light and bright with it's white walls and ceiling. Red and black furniture gave warm accents.
Kitchen and bathroom were not large but efficiently organised: all the necessary was there. Willie supplied fresh mineral water all the time, which I could use freely.
My room was on the streetside and I liked the view downwards into the lively street.
Sometimes street life continued a bit late at night .....
Alltogether I am very satisfied about my 10 days stay at Willie's appartment.
Ingrid, Amsterdam
We spent a very nice weekend at Willie's place in Barcelona. He shared his appartment with us, and we had a great time there. The room was sufficient and we could also use the kitchen. Willie is very friendly and helpful, and could give us some good advice for our stay in Barcelona. We can fully recommend his place to spend a nice weekend in a beautiful and central area of the city.
It was so good, that we came back. Like we said before:
Sharing the apartment with Willie was easy and fun. He is really kind and helpful, has many hints and cares about your stay. The room was clean and cosy. The apartment is well located for a multi night stayover - many bars, restaurants and shops are neaby. Even when having dinner at the harbor, you're back home in 30 minutes by foot. Thanks Willie, you made our trip to Barcelona a great experience.

Nice, clean and cosy appartment in the middle of the 2 nicest neighborhoods of Barcelona! It is surrounded by nice little restaurants/tapasbars/boutiques etc. The appartment is not too big, but it has everything you need, kitchen, bathroom, small living.
Willie is a very warming host and makes you feel right at home as you are sharing his appartment! Note the nice Mexican details in the decoration. Muchas gracias por todos!
We stayed at Willi's apartment for 5 days. The location is very central and good to visit the city. You can reach many sights by foot and the next metro station is only 2 minutes away.
Willi is very friendly and gives you many tips for nice bars and restaurants.
The room is not very big, but clean and enough for two people to visit the city.
The price-performance is great.
Very Good! Willie was friendly and not always at home :-). If You like live with people from country wich You invited this place is perfect. We were eating breakfast on Mercat de Santa Caterina and drinking Cava on the same street before comeback home...

Additional Barriers to Access to Facilities
On top of the barriers to district space already mentioned, there are others. Among them are intricacies of the bureaucratic processes involved, inadequacies in the condition or location of available facilities, stalemates regarding the terms of agreements between districts and schools, and lack of effective legal tools to enforce requirements.75 In California, a serious obstacle is the lack of punitive measure in the law for districts that do not abide by required timelines—an issue that has been described as the "Achilles' heel of Proposition 39."76 In Washington, D.C., one of the most common sticking points has been the definition of a vacant facility.77 In some cases, DCPS's claims that space is needed for other purposes may be legitimate, and in other cases it is not clear. Such examples illustrate the implementation challenges related to district provision of facilities for charter schools.

While Iron Sky is still very much coming out in all corners of the world, it's also time to take a little look into the future. Blind Spot Pictures has released its' future plans, and this is what the slate of upcoming releases looks like!
First and foremost, the leading production we're jumping into is a time travel action film I Killed Adolf Hitler, which tells a story of a hitman couple sent back in time to assassinate – you guessed it! – Adolf Hitler! The script landed on my lap already quite a long time ago, and unlike many of the scripts that I've had the privilege to read, this one was simply terrific. It uses the scifi element of time travel in a very innovative manner, and I got excited about the idea to create the most realistic Hitler in film history, to create him as a full-CG face reconstruction. The story is a great, action-packed drama with bunch of deadpan comedy moments, but underneath it all it produces an epic love story which was the thing I really fell in for with the film.
I Killed Adolf Hitler is a story written by a US writer DC Walker, based on Norwegian comic book artist Jason's Eisner-award winning comic book with the same name. Blind Spot has taken the lead in the production, and it's a co-production between UK (Studio Eight Productions), Finland (well, us) and Germany (Niama Film). We're looking at a budget that's a bit bigger than with Iron Sky.
To be honest, I had no intention to do another Nazi-topic film as the one right after Iron Sky, but hell, you rarely get a script that good, and instantly fell in love with it. Wer're hoping to move forward with the film quite quick, since the story is already in great shape, so it won't take another millennia to get it to theaters.
Another production we are working on is the scifi series I've talked about already during the Iron Sky tour, called Deus X. Discussing with Samuli and the guys, we had the realization that series format scifi is going through a very hard time at this moment, and we've always had a big dream to start working on a series. The idea for Deus X is quite simply a religious war in space. We haven't really released too much about the back story, other than it's a story on a big war that's going on over an anomaly in space that's believed to be the very Heaven itself. Here's a nice little piece of concept art we created for it – again, awesome work by Jussi Lehtiniemi (the art director of Iron Sky). We've also set up a Facebook page where you can log on and start following for now. Bear with us, there's not much info out there, but will follow.
Both of these productions will end up eventually to Wreckamovie as well, with a bunch of urgent tasks attached, but – again – bear with us, we are a small team and we're just trying to lift this huge bag of massive stones on our shoulders :)
And, on the topic of Iron Sky - yes, there's more where that came from, absolutely! We had so much fun with the Moon Nazis, that we want to make more stories on them! And the good news is that we are going to – and not just one, but two things! Iron Sky prequel and an Iron Sky sequel!
To begin with the prequel, it's been bugging me that we were never able to tell exactly *how* did the Nazis end up on the Moon, and *what* they've been doing there all these 70 years. We've of course planned a lot of it, but to make it real and make it something really exciting, we've decided to begin to work with an Iron Sky prequel series that's shedding light on these topics. It's also introducing a bit of background for some of the characters, and will generally be one damn fun ride with the favorite villains from the Far Side.
The sequel itself is a much bigger production, and to assure you, it's not something we came up after seeing how successful Iron Sky was, but an idea that had been there actually for quite a long time, from the early days of the script development for Iron Sky. We're keeping a lid on this one quite tightly, but it takes place a bit after the events of Iron Sky, and will be one massive film once we get it to its feet. But with that one, we want to give it good amount of time to develop, so it won't be hitting the theaters any time soon!
And that's not all. AJ Annila, who made also films like Jade Warrior and Sauna, is developing the new survival thriller Human with Blind Spot – a story about a wolf that gets bitten by a human, and turns into a man. Yeah, a werewolf story in reverse! And Aku Louhimies has just wrapped shooting Finnish crime drama Never Forever, which will hit the theaters later this year.
So, a lot on our plate at the moment, and a big leap forward, but hell – that's what we've been doing ever since Star Wreck, and will continue on that road. And again, to repeat – I'd loved to have all of you long-time supporters, but as well newcomers, to join the journey. There's more Nazi – and other – arses to kick, let's get down to business with it!
Oh, and the Energia guys are still firmly involved – they have just merged with some creepily talented professionals also from Finland and changed their name to Troll VFX. Blind Spot Pictures and Mjölk together with Samuli Torssonen teamed up to form the company and they are working on VFX on advertisements and for sure on all the above-mentioned films! Their webpage is here!
Things looking nice, summer is here, everyone's losing their winter weariness and we're doing great in theaters with Iron Sky!

With all the intelligence and woodworking skills in the world, I wonder why nobody has designed a langstroth hive where the brood boxes are like bottomless drawers in a filing cabinet, so you can examine brood without removing supers? It just seems so obvious to me, although I realize the big problem would be the bees propolising the drawers.
So if they would propolise or build burr comb in the space between the drawers and the cabinet, why not just make a metal frame with drawer slides without an outer cabinet? The frame would be outside the hive. Obviously you would want very little space between drawers, but if they got stuck together, why couldn't you pop them loose just like you do the boxes?
It would be such a huge time saver and back saver, make inspections quick and easy, and I suspect would be much less disruptive to the hive than tearing it apart every couple of weeks.
What am I missing that has kept this from working or being invented?

I love reading The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) immediately on the heels of Labor Day. The paper usually examines what businesspeople in the U.S. can look forward to over the final four months of the year. And so, in the September 3rd edition, in the Marketplace section, WSJ put together a little something called, appropriately, "The Fall Business Preview." I found myself drawn to some of the WSJ's observations with regard to the U.S. healthcare overhaul that, as of this ...

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
There are few issues of greater importance in the public policy arena than those dealing with health care. According to the Kaiser Foundation, "Expenditures in the United States on health care surpassed $2.3 trillion in 2008, more than three times the $714 billion spent in 1990 . . . In 2008, U.S. health care spending was about $7,681 per resident and accounted for 16.2% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP); this is among the highest of all industrialized countries." It is also true that measuring the overall health of a community is challenging because there are so many dimensions to this indicator of well-being.
The data indicate a mixed bag in terms of the health status of the counties in the St Croix Valley. A majority of the counties have lower percentages of their populations who report not having health insurance than is true for their respective state. On the other hand, infant mortality rates are higher than the state average in two of the counties, and all the counties have slightly higher rates of adult obesity than their respective states.

When I heard this story the first thing I thought was "brilliant move by Gilbride" Now Justin Smith will have to think twice about holding offensive lineman during the game. This was nothing more then a tactical move by Gilbride. And I love it...
Giants fan since the early 80s
Refs hate ny teams, nothing we can do about it. Even umpires give yankees pitchers a smaller strike zone always, screw them all.
He should focus on teaching his two blockers how to disengage one guy and cover the stunt.
If Justin Smith is holding two of the Giant's lineman, you need new lineman.
the person i responded to said "Not shocking that this joke of a team all of a sudden became good."
So if he is indeed getting away with holding, then the offense is improved because of it as well, the entire defense is improved as well. I guess smith's holding impact favorably their special teams and coaching too. the OP to my response was just tacking on excuses as to why the 9ers are a good team and I corrected it.

I am not saying this because I'm a homer. But I can't remember the last time a player on the Giants pulling a Flozel Adams. The G-Men typically play a really classy game. I can't lie, and I know it's bad. But I sometimes I wish the our team would dish out the same punish. I know it's not right, but when I see things not called, during games. I get up.
I really don't understand all this uproar. Every team does something illegal in the trenches when an official isn't looking. They're doing whatever they can to win. The Giants are no better. If the injury faking incident didn't occur in the Rams game last year then we probably wouldn't be celebrating a fourth Super Bowl. I would like to think we're classy enough to not pull those moves but no one is ideal and I'm sure some of the G-men's linemen do some holding themselves. But I would like to point out that the Giants do things like this very very little so I guess frequency matters. And like how ny06 pointed out: this is mental warfare right now. They're trying to get into each other's head. Well played Gilbride, well played.
