Noble Energy and Delek Group, two of Woodside Petroleum's prospective partners in the Leviathan gas field off Israel, have started production of the country's first offshore gas from the Tamar field, a $US3 billion-plus project that is seen as the start of a major industry.
Gas started to flow from the 8.5 trillion cubic feet (tcf) Tamar field on March 30, said Delek, which owns about 31 per cent of Tamar through two subsidiaries. The gas is being processed at a plant in the Mediterranean coastal city of Ashdod before flowing into the Israeli market.
The larger Leviathan project is expected to be Israel's second major offshore gas project, potentially starting supplies into the local market in 2016. Woodside agreed in December to buy a 30 per cent stake in Leviathan for an initial upfront payment of $US696 million, plus well costs and potential further payments of $US600 million and LNG revenue sharing payments of up to $US1 billion.
At the time, Woodside cited likely recoverable gas volumes in Leviathan of about 17 tcf, but the operator Noble Energy of the US last month increased the estimate to 18 tcf, the mid-point of its range of 15-21 tcf, after drilling a second appraisal well at the field.
Negotiations for Woodside's participation in Leviathan are still continuing and the deal is due to be completed this half, subject to approval by the Israel Antitrust Authority, which has yet to decide whether a cartel exists between Noble and its partners in Leviathan.
The decision by the authority's director general David Gilo is due within weeks. Reports from Israel suggest the authority could force Noble and Delek to sell their stakes in the field, or at least order them to independently market their share of the gas. That would derail Woodside's investment plans and delay development of the project, which is targeted for liquefied natural gas exports later in the decade.
Woodside chief executive Peter Coleman last month played down the regulatory issues, saying he was confident the deal would complete.
He has flagged the second half of 2013 as the timing for a final investment decision for a domestic gas project at Leviathan. UBS estimates that phase of the project could cost up to $US6 billion.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia energy analyst Luke Smith has suggested the final go-ahead decision made be a catalyst for Royal Dutch Shell to sell its remaining 23.3 per cent stake in Woodside, citing "Shell's conflicting investments in the region."

The Abbott government is considering allowing China's Yanzhou an extension on a politically sensitive deadline to sell down its shareholding in
Just two weeks after the Coalition government angered the business community with its decision to block a $3 billion bid for grains handler GrainCorp from US agri giant Archer Daniels Midland, it is believed to be preparing to show more latitude towards the Chinese state-owned Yanzhou.
Yanzhou, which is required to sell its stake in Yancoal down to 70 per cent by December 31, is believed to have asked for a lengthy extension to the deadline as it battles to convince Yancoal's minority shareholders of the merits of a $200 million offer to buy out the 22 per cent of Yancoal it does not already own.
While a two to three month extension is not unprecedented in these types of situations, sources close to the company say Yanzhou is pushing for an extension of at least a year.
Open to extending deadline
There is widespread speculation Yanzhou has received advice that the Foreign Investment Review Board is open to extending the deadline. However, a spokesman for Herbert Smith Freehills denied the law firm had advised Yanzhou it would be granted an extension by December 31. The spokesman declined to say what advice had been given to Yanzhou.
A spokesman for Yanzhou said: "We fully respect the processes put in place by the federal government and will not make any comment."
Yanzhou, which has overpaid for Australian coal assets, has effectively managed to have the deadline moved twice already. Yanzhou in 2009 became the first Chinese state-owned company to buy 100 per cent of an Australian listed company when its $3.5 billion acquisition of Felix Resources was approved. At the time, FIRB demanded that Yanzhou list at least 30 per cent of the assets back the Australian Securities Exchange by the end of 2012.
Instead, Yanzhou unveiled plans to buy the listed Gloucester Coal for $2.1 billion in December 2010, gaining a back-door listing onto the ASX as coal prices began to fall. It also agreed to sell down its holding in the combined group to 70 per cent by the end of 2013.
But in July, it lodged an informal $200 million bid to buy out the rest of Yancoal Australia from minority shareholders led by Hong Kong commodities trader Noble Group.
Economic advantage
Yanzhou has baulked at selling down its holding as declining coal prices – they are down almost 40 per cent since mid 2011 – depressed asset values in the sector and instead asked FIRB to lift the foreign ownership restriction altogether. Minority shareholders have told The Australian Financial Review they are opposed to a delay, which they believe provides an economic advantage to the Chinese group.
Noble, which owns 13 per cent of Yancoal, believes Yanzhou's bid undervalues the company, which owns significant NSW and Queensland mines. It does not want to sell its stake at a time when the Yancoal stock price has fallen by almost a third this year to 66¢. Instead, Noble has put forward a counter-proposal to Yanzhou suggesting an alternative to privatisation and staying within the original FIRB guidelines.
Yancoal's independent directors, led by co-vice chairman James MacKenzie, are yet to make a recommendation on the proposal Yanzhou claims will better position the company "in managing and operating a fully integrated business and delivering higher efficiency across its portfolio of businesses".
Yanzhou has argued privatisation would also address high debt and tensions between local management and the Chinese-controlled board.

Jeffry M. Diefendorf
Distinguished Professor
Professor of History
College of Liberal Arts
Photographed on June 10, 2004, at his home in Kittery, Maine, overlooking Spruce Creek.
As a junior faculty member in his second year at UNH, Jeffry Diefendorf was a historian specializing in early modern and modern German history when he was asked in 1978 to accompany a group of alumni to Munich, St. Moritz, and Innsbruck as a faculty expert.
To his surprise, questions posed by some of the 120 alumni on the trip have focused his research ever since.
"The first day, we stopped at the main square in Munich, a city badly damaged in World War II, and everyone was admiring the town hall, which has a very famous Glockenspiel. They thought this was a beautiful old building, but right across from it on the main square was a huge concrete department store. They turned to me and said, 'How could they rebuild this beautiful city and have this ugly concrete building here near this old town hall?' " Diefendorf says.
"I had no idea! I had no idea how the city had been rebuilt, who had done it, who had paid for it, how these decisions had been made," he says, "and I was the supposed expert."
After searching for information at the town library and coming up with little, Diefendorf's interest in the topic was piqued and he began focusing his research on how Germany 's cities were rebuilt after World War II.
"In many ways, it has defined most of my career since then," Diefendorf says. "Going along as the faculty expert on that tour has turned me into not just a German historian, but an urban historian."
The author of two books, In the Wake of War: The Reconstruction of German Cities After World War II and Businessmen and Politics in the Rhineland, 1789-1834, Diefendorf has also edited five books, among them Rebuilding Europe's Bombed Cities and Rebuilding Urban Japan after 1945. Now he is working on a comparative study of Cologne, Basel, and Boston in the 20th century.
Diefendorf completed his doctoral work in German history at the University of California at Berkeley and came to UNH in 1976. From 1991 to 1997 he served as the history department chair, and then became a senior faculty fellow in the office of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts . He teaches courses on the history of Germany, Historical Methods, and the Holocaust. He has recently led a successful drive to establish an endowed fund for Holocaust education at UNH.
Cities define how most people live today, so if a city is destroyed by war, how it is rebuilt is of critical importance. "We go to cities but we often don't pay attention to how they have evolved under normal and abnormal circumstances," he says.
In some European cities, bullet marks are still visible on firewalls above the first floor of buildings, Diefendorf says, "but if I ask Germans what they see, they don't see them. You learn to read a physical city for the stories it tells, and it does tell stories."
The process of uncovering stories is multifaceted—from architecture and aesthetics to politics and financing—and provides an endless supply of questions. And it is a process that continues. In what used to be East Germany, and in the former Soviet Union, people are still grappling with how to address the damage done by World War II. Damage caused by more recent wars is causing the residents in countries such as Lebanon to cast a critical eye on the process of urban planning and rebuilding, as they try to decide what to restore and what to modernize.
"How do you define what is old? The Germans now are concerned about preserving modern architecture and post-World War II construction," Diefendorf says. "Cities constantly change, and as people become interested in their past and how they define their identity in terms of the past, they need to understand how both the old and the new work together to make a city livable."

Wildcats traveling to Dallas Hillcrest today
From Staff Reports
Jan. 14, 2008 - LONGVIEW - The Sulphur Springs Wildcats won't get much rest after a four-game set in the Pine Tree Chik-Fil-A Soccer Tournament last weekend.
The Wildcats will take on Dallas Hillcrest at 7 p.m. today at Franklin Field in Dallas. Hillcrest finished second at a tournament in Denton this weekend.
The Wildcats finished the tournament with a 1-2-1 record after falling 2-1 to Houston MacArthur on Friday evening.
Sulphur Springs senior Tate Ramirez gave SSHS its goal, but MacArthur scored late in the match to take the victory, said SSHS head coach Andy Holt.
"We made one little mental breakdown in that Houston MacArthur game and they scored on us to make it 2-1 with about four minutes left in the game," Holt explained. "We were pushing it up, trying to score and win the game.
"I was happy to see that our kids were trying to give that effort to win."
Holt is still adjusting the lineup, trying to find the best combination. On Friday, he moved Ramirez and Omar Ortiz to center midfielders and Rodrigo Larios to defender and put Bailey Booher at stopper.
"I think you go as the midfield goes, and that's the way it looked the first two games. We weren't putting enough stuff together," Holt said. "I haven't subbed very much, but right now I kind of like what we've got going on right now."
The Wildcats continue their stout pre-district schedule against Hillcrest tonight and then at the Longview tournament this weekend when they will match up against Class 5A teams Longview, Tyler Lee and John Tyler.
"I talked to the kids before we started the season and told them how difficult our schedule was. We're playing teams that have done well in the playoffs," the coach said. "I think our kids responded in the first tournament. I hope we'll do the same tonight and in the tournament this weekend."

Beautiful, high quality weft. The weft arrived sooner than the expected date and even though I thought I was getting more hair than what arrived.The hair was silky and soft. It Was easy to manage, did not tangle. I will recommend this to my friends .
Write Your Own Review
You're reviewing: 22" #1B OFF Black Body Wave 100% Remy Human Hair [W-RH-120206]
Weft hair extensions are applied to the scalp with clips, micro rings, glue or sewing the weft onto a braid. Which ever method you chose follow these intructions to learn how to properly apply your weft hair extensions.
Attach hair wefts with clips
Measure the desired length of the wefts and cut. Note that you should stop the wefts at least ½ inch away from your hair line for coverage.
Sew the clips on to the hair on each side of the weft. If you are dealing with a very long weft you can attach an extra clip at the center.
Attach hair wefts using microrings
Part your hair and place a microring onto the hook.
Attach the weft below the part.
Take a section of the weft and of your own hair and thread them through the microring.
Pinch the microring.
Attach hair weft using glue
Make a section in your hair where you want to attach your weft.
Cut a hair weft section to the desired length.
Apply glue to the weft and to the hair under section.
Attach the weft by pressing it firmly against your scalp.
Sew a hair weft onto a braid
Makes two horizontal sections in your hair, leaving a section of hair loose in between them.
Braid this section and secure the braid using a rubber band.
Thread the curved needle.
Sew the hair weft onto the braid.
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.

'Narnia' won't write off Christian values
By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY
Publisher HarperCollins hopes to close the door on the
rumor that they will gut the godliness out of the classic stories known as The
Chronicles of Narnia.
The seven books (Christian allegory in a fantasy format)
by British scholar C.S. Lewis have enchanted young readers for half a century,
selling 65 million copies in 30 languages. Best known: The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe.
Faithful fans went on the rampage recently when a leaked
memo from a HarperCollins subsidiary suggested the publisher's new Narnia
books and merchandise don't tie the stories to "Christian imagery/theology."
Believers perhaps unaware of existing Narnia
spinoffs, including a cookbook by Lewis' stepson, a journal, Advent calendar
and paper dolls cried to the heavens. They imagined Aslan the Lion, the
Jesus figure in Narnia, cavorting on toy shelves and in videos in adventures
never imagined by Lewis.
Susan Katz, head of the children's book division for HarperCollins,
says the company is committed to the integrity of Lewis' work, publishing his
work unaltered and leaving "any interpretation of the works to the reader."
Before commissioning any new works, Katz says, "we will
think long and hard and spend time with the estate. Our main focus is quality
literature for children. We like to feel that if some of our 520 books a year
have a constructive moral message, that's fine."
One of Lewis' two stepsons and heirs, Douglas Gresham,
told Narnia fans online: "The Christian audience is less in need of Narnia
than the secular audience, and in today's world the surest way to prevent secularists
and their children from reading it is to keep it in the Christian or Religious
section of the bookstores or to firmly link Narnia with modern evangelical
A HarperCollins Web site, www.narnia.com,
makes no mention of the Christian worldview built into the books by Lewis, known
for his spiritual writings, including Mere Christianity.
An unscientific poll by the Evangelical magazine ChristianityToday
.com found 74% of 1,200 respondents disapproved of the new Narnia
book idea; 13% said new books might be all right if they were written by "Christian
What makes a Christian book "Christian"? asks online editor
Ted Olsen. He thinks great morality tales can be enjoyed for their captivating
narrative as well as their spiritual dimension. But if HarperCollins uses new
books as steppingstones, he adds, how do they ensure readers don't step off
in a direction not in keeping with Lewis' ethic of hope and salvation?
Phyllis Tickle of Publisher's Weekly says Christian
booksellers meeting in Atlanta last week were weary of the rumors and "just
want to get on with the business of making the 20th century's most revered Christian
apologist more available to more people."

I've been neglecting this blog. I've thought about it a lot--I've started composing posts in my head before getting distracted again. I was going to write about how it had been six months since I completed my year in JVC. (Now it's been almost eight). I was going to write about my experience at my first adult education conference, TALAE. I was going to write about Beyoncé's amazing performance at the Super Bowl. I was going to write about how I've always loved Valentine's Day & how this Valentine's Day was the first I've had with a "real" boyfriend. I was going to write about 40 hour training I did in the month of February to become a volunteer at Safe Place. I was going to write about One Billion Rising. I was going to write about Amplify Austin. I was going to write about victim-blaming and Landen Gambill at UNC. I was going to write about International Women's Day. I've also been meaning for a long time to write about some hot button issues, i.e. gun control and VAWA.
But the fact is, since I started my AmeriCorps term late and due to some other circumstances, I've been working 45-60 hours a week in the last few months. 1700 hours by July 31st is becoming more possible the more I work. What am I doing? Co-teaching two ESL classes M-Th during the day. Tutoring/Admin help for GED classes twice a week at night. Co-teaching three classes on Saturdays--two ESL and one Citizenship. (That's all for ALA, my actual placement) Teaching ESL once a week at Posada Esperanza. As I mentioned, just completed a 40 hour training to volunteer at Safe Place, and will probably start next week. Also volunteering once a week at Inside Books Project. PLUS twice a month AmeriCorps meetings/professional development.
So yeah, I'm busy. That's not even including my personal life (though it's not like I have much of one outside my family and my boyfriend these days anyway). But I miss writing, so I'll try to be more intentional from now on.
This past week I spent with Creative Action at a Spring Break Camp. I have missed working with kids a lot so I was really excited. It was a fabulous week working on their own TV station--KRE8 TV--that they taped different segments for over the course of the week. I was with the younger group the whole week, and with the wonderful instructors, we put together a PSA about recycling, a music video to a song we wrote, dancing with the kid stars and a voiceover to animal videos. It was pretty amazing to see the screening yesterday. I was so proud of all those kids!
Currently, I am attempting to do some spring cleaning and find stuff to donate. I'm trying to think of it as a spiritual practice of letting go of things, but that is hard for a person with hoarding tendencies...
Until next time :)

SEATTLE, Wash.--Washington clinched the weekend baseball series against CSU Bakersfield by defeating the Roadrunners 7-3 Saturday afternoon at Husky Field.
The Huskies scored two runs in the second and three runs in the third to jump out to an early lead. Frank Martinez (Jr., Riverside, Calif., East L.A. College) broke the seal for the Roadrunners in the seventh with his first home run of the season.
Washington returned the favor in the bottom of the frame when Michael Camporeale hit a two-run home run. Jordie Hein (Fr., Scottsdale, Ariz., Chapparal HS) and Oscar Sanay (So., Chula Vista, Calif., Bonita Vista HS) added RBI's in the eighth to make it the final 7-3.
Chase Anselmont went 3-for-4 for Washington. Camporeale had two hits and two runs scored. Martinez was 2-for-3 to lead CSUB.
