Underground Construction and Pipeline & Gas Journal's 2013 survey figures indicate 116,837 miles of pipelines are planned and under construction worldwide. Of these, 83,806 represent projects in the planning worldwide design phase while 33,031 reflect various stages of construction.
Following is a look at new and planned pipeline miles in the seven basic regional groups (see area map): North America – 41,810; South/Central America and Caribbean – 12,285; Africa – 7,999; Asia Pacific – 33,811; Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe – 10,374 ; Middle East – 7,791; and Western Europe and European Union – 2,767. For information on these and other pipeline projects, see our sister publication, Pipeline News.
North American gas
The U.S. rising shale gas production is credited with increasing mileage of new and planned pipelines. DTE Energy, Enbridge Inc. and Spectra Energy Corp. plan to jointly develop the NEXUS Gas Transmission (NGT) system to move growing supplies of Ohio Utica shale gas to markets in the Midwest, including Ohio and Michigan, and Ontario, Canada. The proposed NGT project will originate in northeastern Ohio, include 250 miles of large-diameter pipe, and be capable of transporting 1 Bcf/d of natural gas. Targeted in-service date is November 2015.
The Front Range NGL Pipeline that will originate in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (DJ Basin) in Weld County, CO and extend about 435 miles to Skellytown, TX is planned by Enterprise Products Partners, Anadarko Petroleum and DCP Midstream It will provide takeaway capacity and market access to the Gulf Coast. Initial capacity is expected at 150,000 bpd which can be expanded to 230,000 bpd. Enterprise will construct and operate the pipeline which is expected to begin service later this year.
Enterprise continues to expand its natural gas and NGL infrastructure in South Texas and Mont Belvieu, TX, to accommodate the Eagle Ford Shale play. Construction is progressing on a 350-mile pipeline, a processing facility and an NGL fractionator at the Mont Belvieu complex. Included in the expansion are two additional pipeline segments totaling 168 miles, of which 26 miles of 24-inch pipeline will extend the mainline to the far western reaches of the Eagle Ford. The remaining 142 miles, to be built in two segments, will comprise 30-and 36-inch line in the eastern portion of the Eagle Ford. A new 64-mile, 30-inch line from the cryogenic facility to its Wilson natural gas storage facility in Wharton County will provide takeaway capacity for residue gas.
Enterprise plans to loop 62 miles of gas pipeline with 24-inch and 30-inch loops. Construction on the expansion is should be ready for operation shortly.
The company has a 173-mile extension of the partnership's NGL pipeline system under construction from Yoakum, TX to the western reaches of the Eagle Ford in LaSalle County. The pipeline will link to the company's NGL pipeline system that delivers Eagle Ford production to Mont Belvieu where Enterprise is constructing three NGL fractionators. The extension is set to begin service in the second quarter.
Williams Partners gained approval to expand its Transco natural gas pipeline to provide an additional 250,000 Dth/d of incremental firm transportation capacity to the Northeast. The expansion will primarily consist of 12 miles of pipe at locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in addition to a 25,000-hp compressor facility in Essex County, NJ along with other facility modifications. The cost of the project is estimated to be $341 million. It is to be placed into service in November.
NA oil
Just as the shale boom has increased gas pipeline construction, shale plays are also increasing the nation's crude oil pipeline construction.
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates oil production (including lease condensate) averaged almost 6.5 MMbpd in September 2012, the highest volume in nearly 15 years. The states with the largest increases are Texas and North Dakota.
From September 2011 to September 2012, the EIA reported Texas production rose more than 500,000 bpd as North Dakota production increased by more than 250,000 bpd. Increased production from smaller-volume producing states, such as Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah, is also contributing to the rise in domestic crude oil production and pipeline construction.
One example is TransCanada's Gulf Coast project involving a 485-mile, 36-inch crude oil pipeline beginning in Cushing, OK and extending south to Nederland, TX to serve the Gulf Coast marketplace. The 47-mile Houston Lateral project is an additional project under development to transport oil to refineries around Houston.
Construction on the Gulf Coast pipeline commenced August 2012 with an anticipated in service date of mid-to-late 2013. The line will have initial capacity to transport 700,000 bopd and can expand to transport 830,000 bopd to refineries.
Canada remains fully committed to construction of the 1,179-mile Keystone XL Pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta, to Steele City, NE. TransCanada indicated it still anticipates approval of the Presidential Permit application – which is required as the pipeline will cross the Canada/U.S. border – in the first quarter of 2013, after which time construction will quickly begin.
TransCanada is active in Mexico where its subsidiary, Transportadora de Gas Natural del Noroeste, will build, own and operate the El Oro-to-Mazatlan pipeline for the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). The $400 million pipeline project will begin at El Oro and end in Mazatlan, in the state of Sinaloa. The 24-inch pipeline will be 257-miles and have contracted capacity of 202 MMcf/d. The pipeline is expected to be in service in late 2016. It will interconnect with the El Encino-to-Topolobampo pipeline that TransCanada was awarded the contract to build, own and operate. Construction of the two pipelines is supported by 25-year natural gas transportation service contracts with the CFE.
Sempra Mexico's parent, Sempra International, was awarded two contracts by the CFE to construct, own and operate a 509-mile, US$1 billion pipeline network connecting the northwestern states of Sonora and Sinaloa. The network will be built in two segments that will connect with the U.S. interstate system in Arizona and provide natural gas to power plants. The first segment, a 36-inch, 310-mile line will extend from Sasabe, south of Tucson to Guaymas, Sonora. Its capacity will be 770 MMcf/d. Commissioning is expected by late 2014.
The second segment will extend from Guaymas to El Oro, Sinaloa. It will be a 30-inch, 190-mile pipeline with capacity of 510 MMcf/d. Commissioning is expected in mid-2016.
Caribbean, South & Central America
Planned pipelines continue to outnumber actual mileage under construction throughout this region with Brazil continuing to lead in activity.
In Argentina, national oil company YPF SA wants help from Norway's Statoil to develop its potentially huge shale gas resources. YPF CEO Miguel Galuccio unveiled an ambitious five-year growth plan that he hopes will lead foreign oil companies to help YPF develop shale gas reserves believed to be the world's third-largest. Much of this will depend on YPF's ability to properly exploit the 774 Tcf of gas and 23 Bboe that the U.S. EIA estimates lies trapped in the Neuquen basin.
Work is under way in southern Peru on the 675-mile South Andean Gas Pipeline, also known as the Gasoducto Andino del Sur. The route starts at the Camisea gas fields in Cusco and then run south through the cities of Puno, Arequipa, Matarani, and Ilo, and may be extended to Tacna. Cost estimates range up to US$3 billion. Constructor Kuntur Transportadora de Gas indicates construction could take three years.
Asia Pacific
The Asia Pacific region accounts for 33,811 miles of new and planned pipeline miles, slightly lower than last year.
Several projects involve pipelines of significant length, including China National Petroleum Corporation's third West-East Gas Pipeline that is nearing construction. With a length of 4,584 miles, the project consists of one trunk, eight branches, three gas storages and one LNG station. The 3,243-mile trunkline will start at Horgos in Xinjiang and end at Fuzhou of Fujian Province, traveling through 10 provinces and regions including Xinjiang. Completion is expected in 2015, joining Line C of the Central Asia-China Gas Pipeline which also is under construction.
Line C covers 329 miles in Uzbekistan. It is estimated that gas supply will commence in January 2014 and reach the designed throughput in late 2015, enhancing transmission capacity of the Central Asia-China Gas Pipeline to 55 Bcm/a.
In India, negotiations are under way for the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) to acquire a 30 percent stake in state-owned gas utility Gail (India) Ltd.'s 963-mile natural gas pipeline from Surat in Gujarat to Paradip in Odisha. Gail gained approval to construct the pipeline to connect the west and east coasts in April 2012. The pipeline would have a capacity to transport up to 60 MMcf/d. GAIL will have 36 months to lay the pipeline and commission it.
IOC reportedly plans 1,243 miles of new pipeline projects to expand infrastructure for transportation of crude oil and petroleum products. These include the 435-mile Paradip-Haldia-Budge Budge-Kalyani-Durgapur LPG Pipeline, 183-mile Sanganer-Bijwasan Naphtha Pipeline, 168-mile branch pipeline from Patna to Motihari and Baitalpur, 750-mile Cauvery Basin Refinery to Trichy Pipeline and 250-mile Ennore-Trichy-Puducherry LPG Pipeline.
Gail is developing the Kochi-Koottanad-Bangalore-Mangalore Pipeline that will pass through the states of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The first phase of 31 miles was completed in 2012. The second 447-mile phase is scheduled to be completed this year.
In Vietnam, the consortium of Chevron, PetroVietnam Gas, Mitsui Oil Exploration, and PTT Exploration & Production Public Co. Ltd. plans to build the 249-mile O Mon Gas pipeline to transport natural gas to fuel the 2,760-MW O Mon power complex. If constructed, it will be one of the longest gas pipelines in Vietnam. No timeline for has been announced.
The focus here is on LNG where seven facilities are under construction and six more are planned.
The Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) project being developed by QGC, wholly owned by the BG Group, will be the world's first project to turn coal seam gas into LNG. The project, under construction since 2010, will provide hydrocarbons for export markets in 2014.
This major, integrated project involves: expanding QGC's existing coal seam gas production in the Surat Basin of southern Queensland; building a 335-mile natural gas pipeline network linking the gas fields to Gladstone; and constructing a liquefaction plant on Curtis Island, near Gladstone, where the gas will be converted to LNG for export. This is one of Australia's largest capital infrastructure projects, involving US$20.4 billion of investment.
Australia Pacific LNG is a coal seam gas to LNG joint venture partnership between Origin, ConocoPhillips and Sinopec. In October the first of more than 330 miles of pipe for the project had been laid. The main transmission pipeline will enable coal seam gas to be transported from gas fields in the Surat and Bowen basins to an LNG plant on Curtis Island, off the coast of Gladstone for processing and export. There, the first two gas production trains can process up to 9 Mtpa.
Tanzania announced construction start of the Mnazi Bay to Dar es Salaam Gas Pipeline project in November. The 330-mile pipeline will transport Mnazi Bay gas through a 36-inch line to Dar es Salaam and other major population and industrial centers. Construction is expected to take 18 months.
FSU & Eastern Europe
The most significant report on construction starts in this region came late last year with the announced construction of the long-awaited South Stream Pipeline at Russia's Russkaya compressor station site near the Anapa, Krasnodar Territory.
The 1,490-mile pipeline will traverse the Black Sea and carry Russian gas via Serbia, Hungary and Slovenia to Italy. The length of the Black Sea section will exceed 560 miles. Its design capacity will be 3 Bcm. First gas supplies via South Stream are scheduled for December.
To feed the required gas to South Stream, Russia's transmission system throughput will be increased through construction of an additional 1,520 miles of line pipe and 10 compressor stations with total capacity of 1,473 MW. This project, named South Corridor, and will be implemented in two phases before December 2019.
In addition to working on diversifying the routes of Russian gas supplies to the EU, Gazprom is anxious to develop its Asian markets. Gazprom announced a $38 billion program to develop an East Siberian gas field and building a pipeline to the Pacific port of Vladivostok to lessen its reliance on exports to Europe. Plans call for an investment of $24.5 billion to build the 2,000-mile pipeline from the East Siberian Chayanda deposit to Vladivostok. The remaining $13.7 billion would be invested in field development.
In the Ukraine, a comprehensive upgrading of a section of the Urengoi-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas trunk pipeline (also known as the West-Siberian Pipeline or Trans-Siberian Pipeline) which carries Russian gas to Europe is under way by Naftogaz Ukrainy. This includes replacing insulation and pipes, modernization and reconstruction of pumping stations. Investments in the first stage, which will require three years, will cost US$539 million. The total cost to upgrade the country's pipelines is estimated at US$6.5 billion and completion is expected in 2020.
Western Europe & EU Countries
Poland's Gas Transmission Operator Gaz-System has a host of gas pipelines planning, including the cross-border Poland-Slovakia pipeline which will connect the natural gas transmission systems of the two countries, and expansion of the Poland-Czech Republic pipeline. The European Commission is co-financing business and feasibility studies for the two projects.
The parties to the Poland-Slovakia project are Gaz-System S.A. and Eustream – the Slovakian transmission system operator.
Gaz-System accounts for several gas pipeline projects awaiting decisions, including the: 81-mile Zdzieszowice-Wrocław pipeline; 32-mile Skoczów-Oświęcim pipeline; 117-mile Szczecin-Lwówek pipeline; 110-mile Rembelszczyzna- Gustorzyn pipeline; 165-mile Szczecin-Gdańsk pipeline; 105-mile Gustorzyn- Odolanów pipeline; 41-mile Polkowice-Żary pipeline ; and 61-mile Strachocina-Pogórska Wola pipeline.

More than 3,000 nature-lovers flocked to Thornham at the weekend for the first Harvest Moon Festival and the annual Apple Day celebrations at Drove Orchards.
Visitors enjoyed everything from hedgehog talks to scariest scarecrow competitions at the village's first eco-friendly festival while families headed to the orchards to pick and taste the apples for the annual celebration.
Susan Hall, estate manager for Drove Orchards, said: "The weekend went remarkably well. We were really pleased with the numbers that came along.
"We had around 250 people come to the Russian tea sessions to watch the ladies perform barefoot ballet, mime and storytelling in the orchard. We set up a marquee to be used as a Russian tea room."
The Russian tea ladies performed the traditional tea ceremony from a village called Kolomna, which is known for it's delicacy – apple pastila.
Susan said: "Everyone really enjoyed it and thought it was a very unexpected, but lovely experience."
There was live music, a barbecue, children's activities, wildlife talks with guest speakers, as well as a chance to pick your own fruit in the orchard, including the heritage orchard which has varieties from all over East Anglia, tastings and a craft market.
Susan said: "Some of the people visiting the orchard came for the whole weekend which was great.
"We are trying to get Drove Orchards on the map for families visiting the area to come and learn about farming and nature."

"Tremendous" Demand For Superior Energy Services
Superior Energy Services (SPN ) aims to be everything to oil-and-gas explorers in the Gulf of Mexico, and in most cases it is. One specialized service is "well intervention." It repairs and maintains onshore or offshore wells that are old or have been badly damaged by violent weather like Hurricane Katrina. "Superior can't keep up with the tremendous demand for its repair and recovery services, which will provide strong growth through the end of the decade," says Martin Sass, CEO of MDSass, which manages assets of more than $10 billion and owns a 1.2% stake. Superior also buys wells that the major oil companies abandon, resuscitates them, and keeps them in its own oil-and-gas unit. Sales and earnings have risen since 2001 when it earned 30 cents a share. By 2006 earnings had rocketed to $2.32. Its stock, up from 23 last Sept. 25 to 33.23 on Mar. 14, is selling at a 35%-40% discount to its peers, notes Sass. In the Gulf of Mexico, Superior has 56% of the business, but that figure may decline this year as the company pushes expansion elsewhere, including the Middle East, North Sea, and Venezuela, says Sass. Stewart Glickman of Standard & Poor's (MHP ), who rates Superior a "strong buy," sees profits in 2007 rising to $3.42 a share and to $4.13 in 2008.

Another 'Decision' for Heat's LeBron James, who opts for free agency
MIAMI — Four years after "The Decision," LeBron James appears headed toward another one.
The Miami Heat star and four-time NBA MVP has decided to exercise his contract's early termination option, meaning he'll be a free agent July 1, his agent said Tuesday.
The move sets up the 29-year-old NBA icon for a possible departure from Miami, where he has played the last four seasons, reaching four league finals and winning two championships.
James famously left his first team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, via free agency in 2010, teaming up with Heat star Dwyane Wade and fellow free agent Chris Bosh in Miami. James made that much-anticipated announcement in an ESPN special called "The Decision."

My husband and I have a little bit of a zoo in our rental house: We have a cat, a little dog and a big dog. As Halloween quickly approaches, I was thinking about how to get my furbabies involved in the fun, so naturally, I went to Pinterest to find DIY pet costumes for Halloween.
DIY Dog Costumes … For Your Little Dog
My little dog, Bella, is my baby, and she actually doesn't mind wearing clothing at all. She has a full wardrobe, but she only gets dressed for special occasions. Here are some of the cutest DIY dog costumes I found for little dogs:
DIY Dog Costumes … For Your Big Dog
My big dog, Wally, will not wear a costume—he will try to eat it. If you're lucky enough to get your big dog to dress up for Halloween, here are some really great DIY dog costumes for big dogs. The Poop Factory is definitely my favorite.
DIY Cat Costumes
If you can get your cat to wear a Halloween costume, I am impressed. My cat definitely won't wear anything … but she does love to get inside boxes, so whoever came up with that idea is a total genius. Here are some of my favorite DIY cat costumes:
Have you dressed your pet up in an adorable costume? Send photos to firstname.lastname@example.com so I can ooh and aww over them!

FUNNYMAN Russell Brand has admitted his flop film Arthur was a "mistake".
The 2011 remake of the classic 1981 Dudley Moore comedy — about a drunk
playboy set to inherit a fortune — was savaged by critics.
Brand, 37, confessed: "I didn't know a lot about script construction. I know
more now. I was just embracing things enthusiastically.
"I thought I could do anything."
He claimed political correctness was partly responsible for the failure to hit
the funny bone.
And Brand was devastated by the harsh reaction.
He said: "I felt a little bit bruised. I felt I'd made a mistake."

Nirvana's Kurt Cobain graces the cover of the April 16 issue of Rolling Stone, in his carefully frayed jeans and his way-cool shades and his oh-so-defiant "CORPORATE MAGAZINES STILL SUCK" T-shirt, desperately trying not to look like a millionaire rock star with a babe-o-rama trophy wife. Cobain is this year's Angry Young Man, and his band Nirvana have, if you believe everything you read, single-handedly made the world safe for alternative rock. Stone goes so far as to compare Cobain to John Lennon - favorably. Hey, I liked "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as much as the next guy the first 63,000 times I heard it, but I can't avoid thinking that comparing Cobain to Lennon at this stage of the game is, in betting parlance, a reach.
I know, I know: It's not Cobain's fault. He didn't write the damn article, he merely acquiesced to Rolling Stone's demands for an interview. You can't blame the dude for taking the bimbo or the bucks. To refuse would be un-American. It's just a shame that Nirvana and Cobain continue to garner so much press when they obviously don't want or need the attention, while a deserving outfit like Miami's own Holy Terrors can't get within spitting distance of the holy grail.
The Holy Terrors are not necessarily the area's most polished original rock band, but they are certainly one of the most promising. They're a quartet of energetic, dynamic rockers who write enigmatic songs that shift gears more often than Steve McQueen in Bullitt. You could light up CocoWalk for a year with the electricity they generate in one of their live shows, and it's probably a lock that they're the only area rock band who cite Franz Kafka as a strong lyrical influence. Off-stage they tend to be, in their own words, "pretty boring." Says drummer Sam Fogarino, "After a show, we're gone. We don't hang around a lot."
The biggest knock against the band is that they haven't got a huge backlog of material. Says Fogarino, "Most of the feedback we've gotten from industry people is along the lines of, `We like these. Let's hear more'."
At a recent showcase for Island Records, hosted by Washington Square, the Terrors shared a bill with the Wait and the Goods. The crowd was enthusiastic, but by most accounts the band didn't peak until the last song or two of their set, by which time Island honcho Chris Blackwell was already on a plane to some exotic location in another corner of the globe.
Vocalist Rob Elba's delivery favors passion over perfect pitch, and is therefore unpredictable, a quality fans seem to love and A&R people loathe. It is hard to scream your guts out continuously for 45 minutes on-key, and a good scream is an integral part of much of the Terrors' oeuvre. Nearly everyone surveyed after the showcase would have liked to have seen the band jump into their up-tempo stuff sooner, and save some of their moodier, more atmospheric tunes for a longer set. But the overall audience response was positive. The Holy Terrors know there will be other showcases, especially with a calling card like their eye-opening new single, "Cigaretello."
The tune, which Elba likes to introduce as "...a song about a guy, a girl, a chair, and a cigarette," reeks of nervous tension from the beginning, blows through a half-dozen or so shifts in melody and tempo, and then explodes into a paroxysm of bloodcurdling screams as the narrator, bound to a chair, burns to death. It is jarring stuff, by turns reminiscent of Elvis Costello, the Clash, the Pixies, and the Smithereens, among others.

In a perfect world, "Cigaretello" would be the kind of song capable of getting a band signed all by itself, just like the Goods' "I'm Not Average," or Charlie Pickett's "If This Is Love, Can I Have My Money Back" should have. Ironically, prior to the release of "Cigaretello," the Holy Terrors were victims of the same syndrome that plagued the Goods until the release of 1990's Too True to Be Good - a killer live rep with precious little recorded material to back it up. The Terrors' previous release, an eponymous EP, showed promise with songs such as "Shine," which goes through more changes than Madonna's wardrobe, and "Spirit," a feedback-drenched, punk-noir raver that features raw-throated, out-of-control vocals and a jolting, desperate, Cult-like chorus. But "Cigaretello" is the monster song, a best-seller at Yesterday & Today and a staple on WVUM and on WSHE's local-music show. To hear the song for the first time on VUM while cruising blithely down South Dixie Highway (as did a certain music writer, who shall remain nameless) is a jolt; the mind races to figure out which major artist is responsible; the song sounds both fresh and familiar at the same time. When you find out it's the Holy Terrors, a local band, you almost rear-end a Metrobus. "Cigaretello" should carry a Surgeon General's warning.
Rumor has it that the Seattle scene really took off when Sub Pop, a tiny, independent record label that hit the jackpot with Nirvana and Soundgarden and is now exploring the possibility of buying out Sony, flew a Melody Maker writer over from London, the only city in the world with a drearier climate than Seattle's, got him all liquored up, and immersed him in Seattle music. It was a bold ploy, and it worked perfectly. Soon Seattle bands and their sound, dubbed "grunge rock," became all the rage with the English musical press as writers for other Brit magazines angled for a free trip across the pond. Being the imaginative, musical pioneers the American A&R people are, they followed the Brits' lead and descended upon Seattle, blank contracts and bulging wallets in hand.
Far be it from me to advocate lawless behavior, but Seattle's success started me thinking that perhaps it's time for somebody here in Miami to make a bold move, like kidnapping one of those major-label fungi currently infesting the Seattle music scene and transporting him here. We could tie him to a chair at the Square and make him sit through the next Thon in its entirety. Before you know it, Miami would be the next original-music mecca, and every kid with long hair and a guitar would have a six-figure deal. The Holy Terrors would be Rolling Stone cover boys, desperately trying not to look like millionaire rock stars.

Game Notes: Vanderbilt Game Notes
The Vanderbilt women's basketball team is set for its first road test of the season.
Actually, in this case, it will be more like an exam.
The Commodores (3-1) will be facing one of the nation's most explosive teams on Thursday night when they visit Durham, N.C., to play the No. 2/2 Duke Blue Devils.
Fueled by the explosive play of Tricia Liston (18.3 ppg), the Blue Devils are off to a 3-0 start. They opened the year with a 70-58 road win over California, then came home and crushed USC-Upstate, 123-40, followed by a victory this past Sunday at home over Alabama, 92-57.
The tradition-rich Blue Devils are averaging 95 points per game, and have six players who are averaging double figures in scoring. Along with Liston, the others include: Chelsea Gray (13.3 ppg), Elizabeth Williams (11.7), Haley Peters (11.7), Richa Jackson (11.3) and Alex Jones (10.0).
Peters is the team's leading rebounder, at 12.7 per game. Liston is averaging 7.3 rebounds per game, and Williams is averaging seven per game.
Thursday's game will represent the seventh all-time meeting between the Commodores and Blue Devils, with Duke owning a 4-2 lead in the series, including a 2-0 mark at home.
The most recent meeting came in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament, when Duke downed Vanderbilt, 96-80, in Nashville.
The Commodores enter the game coming off their first loss of the season -- an 82-77 setback to Marquette last Sunday at Memorial Gym.
Vanderbilt owned a 14-point lead late in the first half, but ran into foul trouble in the second half and saw the feisty Golden Eagles rally for the victory.
The physical nature of the contest (coupled with the new NCAA rules) led to a choppy game in which the teams combined for 63 fouls and 74 free throws. Vanderbilt had three players foul out in the loss: Marqu'es Webb, Kylee Smith and Morgan Batey.
Christina Foggie had a huge game for Vanderbilt, scoring 30 points, just four shy of her career high. Foggie, who finished 16-of-18 at the foul line, currently leads the Commodores in scoring at 20.5 points per game.
Three other Vanderbilt players also reached double figures in Sunday's loss, with Jasmine Lister scoring 13 points, Rebekah Dahlman adding 12 and Jasmine Jenkins scoring 10.

High school grades plunged all over Florida on Thursday, the latest sign that progress in the upper grades remains sluggish despite a decade of reforms.
The number of A high schools dropped to 68 — down nearly 50 percent — while the number of D high schools climbed from 70 to 116, according to results released by the Florida Department of Education.
The trend looked worse around the Tampa Bay area.
Two high schools improved. Nineteen held steady.
Thirty-seven fell.
Among them: Gibbs High in St. Petersburg, which became Pinellas County's first F high school.
"It made me sick," said Pinellas superintendent Julie Janssen.
Principals scrambled Thursday to pinpoint why they struggled more this year, particularly with their bottom-tier kids in reading. At the same time, an especially bad year for their high schools put a stark frame on a bigger picture.
It wasn't just the usual suspects who got hit. In Hillsborough, Freedom High went from an A to a C. In Hernando, Nature Coast Technical went from a B to a C.
"It's a challenge," said Frances Haithcock, Florida's K-12 chancellor. "We have a long way to go."
Critics of Florida's accountability system, largely shaped by former Gov. Jeb Bush, offered other descriptors.
"Abysmal," said Rep. Marty Kiar, D-Davie, the Democrats' point person on education issues in the state House. The high school results "show the state's accountability system . . . does not work."
School grades can bring joy or shame, rewards or sanctions. They're based on Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test scores in reading, math, writing and science.
Schools that make A grades or improve their grades get bragging rights, plus a modest share of reward money that totaled $147 million last year. Schools that make poor grades get branded with the stigma and are subject to increased oversight.
Not all the news was bad Thursday.
Statewide, 1,822 schools earned A grades, 237 more than last year. Six schools leaped from F's to A's.
"Give me a hug!" principal Christi Buell told her teachers at Sulphur Springs Elementary in Tampa, after learning the school had moved up from an F to a B.
The state also announced how Florida schools fared under federal standards set by the No Child Left Behind Act. The result, again, was not good. Only 23 percent made "adequate yearly progress."
But all of that was overshadowed by the high school grades.
In the short term, the results show more high schools struggled this year with their lowest performing students. Under the state's grading formula, schools that don't make enough progress with those students get docked a full letter grade.
Last year, 78 high schools got whacked. This year, 106 did.
At Central High in Brooksville, principal Dennis McGeehan was at a loss to explain why.
"Something just didn't come across," he said.
There's plenty of speculation. Maybe budget cuts whittled away at programs for struggling students. (Pinellas alone cut 63 reading coaches.) Maybe the lame economy put more strain on at-risk kids. Maybe the scores just reflect the natural ups and downs that come with standardized testing.
Then again, maybe a tweak in the grading formula last year made this year's drop look worse. Sixty-three high schools did not get penalized a grade last year after the state Board of Education eased the requirement on the lowest-performing students.
Regardless, a one-year dip wouldn't attract so much attention if it wasn't for a long-term funk.
In the past decade, Florida's elementary students have made big strides, and middle school students are beginning to perk up. But since 2001, the percentage of high school students reading at grade level has grown more modestly, from 32 percent to 42 percent. This year's scores didn't budge after three years of gains.
Former K-12 chancellor Jim Warford said we shouldn't be surprised.
The state has done a good job beefing up academic standards and increasing expectations, he said. But it hasn't done as well making students realize why their classes matter.
"Kids don't get more stupid or less capable in high school. It's just not relevant (to them)," said Warford, who now heads the Florida Association of School Administrators. "These are iPhone kids. Our schools are still chalkboard worlds."
The state knows it must find ways to get high schools moving, said Haithcock, the current chancellor.
It's pushing more career and technical education. It's pushing Advanced Placement classes. It has come up with more precise ways to get kids reading better.
Haithcock said there's reason for hope, too, in the growing numbers of kids testing better in early grades.
"We're hopeful that in the next two, three, four years we are going to see high schools . . . not stall," she said.
Neither Haithcock nor Warford would rule out an irony at play.
In the past decade, Florida's drop-out rate has fallen substantially, from 5.4 percent to 2.6 percent, according to Department of Education figures. But progress on that front may have left more marginal students to drag down test scores.
Whatever the reasons behind this year's report card, making the grade won't get easier.
Beginning this fall, Florida will evaluate high schools on a slew of factors besides FCAT scores, including graduation rates and AP results.
A computer simulation found a third of them would drop a grade.

MELBOURNE, Australia - Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams has pulled out of the Australian Open, citing recovery from her viral illness.
"I regret to announce I am withdrawing from the 2012 Australian Open. After several months of training and treatment, I am making steady progress to top competitive form. My diet and fitness regimen have allowed me to make great strides in terms of my health and I am very close to being ready to return to WTA competition. I have every intention to return to the circuit in February."
Williams, a former World No.1, was ranked as high as No.2 in the summer of 2010 before a difficult last year and a half, a period in which she has struggled with injury and illness and competed in only five tournaments (US Open in 2010 and Australian Open, Eastbourne, Wimbledon and US Open in 2011).
With seven Grand Slam titles to her name, Williams' withdrawal means a major contender is sidelined, regardless of her No.100 ranking. Her two best Slams are Wimbledon (five titles, three more finals) and the US Open (two titles, two more finals). She has been to only one final at the Australian Open (2003) and one at the French Open (2002), losing to Serena Williams both times.

Former Testament Manager Pens New Book
Apparently, anyone can write a book. I've said it a thousand times. You just have to have some modicum of renown…that's all.
"One For The Road:
How To Be A Music Tour Manager" is the first and only book on music tour management, according to a press release.
The 312-page book was written by Mark Workman, a successful lighting designer and tour manager who has worked with the likes of Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Machine Head, Queens of the Stone Age, Dio, Sepultura, and more.
He also managed Testament, which is why the foreword is written by Alex Skolnick.
The book is "for beginners and covers every aspect of being a road manager touring the world with a music group," a press release says.
"It is also a brutally blunt and funny behind-the-scenes look at the ups and downs of organizing and running a music tour for some of the heaviest bands in the world."
"One For The Road:
How To Be A Music Tour Manager" will go on sale on December 1.

A number of commentators have expressed concern about the counter-demonstration held by the Grantham Solidarity Network to the EDL march and rally on Saturday, February 22.
They have made a number of remarks about the cost to the local taxpayer for the policing, the high risk of disorder and suggested that it was irresponsible for children to be present.
What they have been quiet about however, is the EDL and you have to assume that they think either: a) the EDL should have been given free rein without any opposition, or b) there should be no public demonstrations in Grantham at all. I am not clear where they sit on this and perhaps they should explain themselves on this point.
By the way, a police force can apply to the Home Office for support if the cost of policing events is too high. It is not clear whether Lincolnshire Police have needed to do this and, to my knowledge, no senior officer has made any statement to this effect.
It goes without saying, that in a democratic society the price of liberty is sometimes high. Organisations like the EDL work on the basis of trying to intimidate people from standing up in opposition to them. Having no organised opposition would have been a huge propaganda victory for the EDL, enabling the EDL to claim they have far more support than they actually do.
However, it is not all over. One of the reasons the EDL do this is to find new recruits and to get a base to plan future activities.
Do not think it is a one-0ff and if you care about freedom, peace and tolerance, get involved with the Grantham Solidarity Network, because when the next time comes we will need to be bigger and stronger.

Gloucestershire Airport in the southwest of England wants to attract a new FBO to handle its increasing volume of corporate aircraft traffic. Traffic during August was up by 32 percent, reaching a 10-year high. Total annual movements are expected to exceed 82,000 this year and, although the majority of these are light general aviation flights, the airport is now receiving growing numbers of midsize and large business jets, according to facility manager Gordon Griffiths. There are now five executive charter operators based at Gloucestershire Airport, which is located midway between the cities of Cheltenham and Gloucester and close to the M5 freeway linking southwest England with the Midlands region and the North. The airport has invested in a new terminal building and two new hangars are now planned. It is also in talks with an undisclosed regional airline to launch scheduled services.

"Kendall and Braswell have updated a book that became a classic upon publication in 1985. The revision charts the remarkable progress that has been made in the assessment, diagnosis, and cognitively based treatment. New lines of work not in the original book are woven into a revision that conveys the development, evolution, and maturation of this treatment program as applied to impulsive children." --Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D., Psychology, Director of Clinical Training, Yale University "Kendall and Braswell have provided a state-of-the-art description of their clinically sensitive and empirically-based intervention for impulsive children. They have expanded their approach to school and family environments. This practical guidebook will prove valuable to both clinicians and researchers. Kudos!" --Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D., University of Waterloo "The first edition of this book was a classic that defined cognitive behavioral therapy with children and served as the foundation for treatment programs for children with a variety of disorders. This edition picks up where the first left off and points to the future of cognitive behavioral therapy by integrating components for working with parents and teachers. Evident throughout the book is the authors' twenty years of research and practice. The authors provide the reader with a cogent review of relevant theory and research as well as case vignettes that bring the descriptions of the treatment to life. This is must reading for all child practitioners." --Kevin Stark, Ph.D., University of Texas

Pay for performance begins next fall
Mary Bailey
Community Editor
Deserving teachers in Forest Lake schools soon will be eligible to receive an extra $2,000 in merit-based pay as District 831 begins its participation in Q Comp in the 2014-2015 school year.
The voluntary alternative pay program was started by the Minnesota Legislature in 2005 to enhance teacher training and financially reward effective teachers.
The program is funded from two sources. Local taxes raise $91 per student, and the state adds $169 per student. The total, an extra $260 per student, adds up to a $1,715,000 annual cost: $600,000 from the school district and $1,115,000 from the state. The local portion is board-approved and does not require a referendum.
Of the $1.7 million annual cost, the teachers will receive at most $1,151,500 in performance pay, or 68 percent of the total cost of the program.
The other $548,500 (32 percent) will go to salaries for new hires to run the program and other administrative expenses.
The Q Comp coordinator will receive his or her current salary and benefits, plus payment for three additional weeks of duties beyond the school year.
Peer coaches will receive their usual teacher salaries and benefits, plus payment for two additional training days before the start of the year.
Site facilitators will be paid a $1,000 annual stipend with release time as needed.
The nine peer coaches (or more, if some choose to hold the job half-time and also teach half-time) will be supervised by the Q Comp Coordinator, who will report to Director of Teaching and Learning Jennifer Tolzman.
Teachers who complete certain requirements and demonstrate proficiency while being observed will earn $1600 in performance pay.
Additional money will be earned by teachers who reach student achievement goals ($200) and site achievement goals ($200).
To make more time for staff training, the school calendar will have four additional professional development days.
Getting started
To establish a Q Comp program, a school district needs approval by the teachers union, the school board and the Minnesota Department of Education.
The district was motivated to develop a new Q Comp proposal partly by the Teacher Development and Evaluation law set to take effect in the fall of 2014.
Q Comp provides a means for meeting the requirements of that unfunded mandate, but with funding and pay incentives in place.
The Forest Lake Education Association, working with district staff, wrote the new plan last year. The Q Comp team consisted of Chair Diane Giorgi, Heidi Errickson, Paul Iwaszko, Kathy McMorrow, Joe Mueller and Kim Vanneste. All are District 831 teachers.
Giorgi presented the plan to the school board on April 18. The board voted in favor on May 2, and on May 9 more than 80 percent of the teachers voted to submit the plan to the Department of Education for assessment.
After minor changes requested by the state were made, the school board voted unanimously to approve the final plan at the Sept. 5 meeting.
The last step was ratification by the teachers. On Sept. 26, the new Q-Comp plan was approved with 85 percent support, 299 in favor and 56 against.
Implementation of Q Comp requires annual approval of the teachers union, the school board and the state.
The Q Comp coordinator will be hired early in 2014, and that person will be part of the team to hire peer coaches. The district plans to hire the coordinator, coaches and other positions from existing staff.
Giorgi was considered a logical choice, but she does not plan to apply for the position of Q Comp coordinator.
Currently a Title I Math and Curriculum Coordinator with an office in the Central Learning Center, Giorgi is a 30-year district employee. She worked 15 years as a teacher at Lino Lakes Elementary and another 15 as a technology specialist. In 2007 Giorgi was awarded a $2,000 grant for antibullying efforts, in 2009 she brought in a $7,460 grant for a science project, and in 2011 she received a $2,000 grant to support the STEM program.
"I like what I do right now, supporting teachers through the curriculum," she said.
Shortly after Q Comp was established in 2005, District 831 gave it a try, in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years. But the teachers union decided not to continue.
"The first time our district implemented Q Comp, the program was in its infancy in Minnesota. Since then we have learned from other districts and incorporated some of their components into our own plan," Giorgi said.
"In particular, the opportunity for monthly professional development and meeting time will positively impact teachers' ability to collaborate on strategies and best practices that support student achievement," she added.
School board member Dan Kieger said teacher groups disliked the process of gauging success in the first Q Comp plan.
Now that other school districts have refined the process, "we've got a good working tool for evaluation," he said.
This time, evaluations will be performed by fellow teachers, an important issue.
"We spent a lot of time getting feedback from the members. They want the peer coaching position to be fresh from the classroom," Giorgi explained.
Former school board member Eric Langness served during that first Q Comp experiment.
"I supported it because it gives teachers the incentive to put in extra effort," he said. "It was the only tax increase I ever voted for."
Langness has reviewed the new plan and agrees with the changes made. Shifting teacher training from three days before the school year to spread throughout the year is one positive change, he said, and added that the high percentage of teacher support is particularly impressive.
"I believe it will motivate teachers and ultimately improve student achievement," he said.
Giorgi said that student achievement is at the heart of the program. "Q Comp supports teachers in becoming better educators by providing time for collegial collaboration and more meaningful professional development. By reflecting on their own classroom teaching and sharing best practices, teachers will develop a strong support structure to help them move toward attaining student achievement goals," she said.
"It will help kids get the best education possible," Kieger concluded.
Q Comp feedback comes only from other teachers. The program has no mechanism to involve student or parent information on teacher effectiveness.
In August each building will set a school-wide site achievement goal based on standardized test scores. A teacher whose building meets its site achievement goal is eligible for $200 of performance pay.
If a site does not meet its goal, the money goes to that site for professional development to help meet the goal the following year.
Teachers set individual student achievement goals by October. Teachers who reach their individual student achievement goal are eligible for $200 of performance pay.
Teachers meet in professional learning communities throughout the year to share instructional strategies. A professional learning community is a team of educators with a common area of interest: grade level, department or shared students.
Teachers are observed every three months by peer coaches and/or administrators, for a total of three observations per year.
Teachers who complete their professional learning community requirements and demonstrate proficiency in their observations are eligible for $1600 of performance pay.

In the West, mild weather is promoting early-spring fieldwork from California into the Southwest, but chilly conditions have returned to the northern Rockies and northern Intermountain West.
On the Plains, warm weather prevails in Texas, where today's high temperatures will approach 90°F in central and southern parts of the state. Meanwhile, cold weather is returning to the northern and central Plains. In addition, wind-driven snow is falling across parts of Montana and North Dakota.
In the Corn Belt, a band of snow stretches from the Red River Valley southeastward into Illinois. Winter storm warnings are in effect across much of the upper Midwest for the likelihood for additional snow and increasingly windy weather. Most of the Midwest remains covered by snow in the wake of two February storms.
In the South, freeze warnings are in effect this morning across much of Georgia and northern Florida, although temperatures remained mostly above 32°F in Florida's citrus belt. In contrast, warm weather is returning to the western Gulf Coast region, where weekend freezes were noted as far south as south-central Texas.
Outlook: A storm currently centered over North Dakota will dive southeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region by mid-week, producing a stripe of snow. The storm will intensify near the Atlantic Seaboard , leading to the possibility of heavy mid-week snow in the central Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain. Meanwhile, Pacific storminess will arrive across northern California and the Northwest on March 5-6. During the second half of the week, rain and snow showers will overspread the remainder of the West. Toward week's end, generally light precipitation will return to portions of the Plains and the upper Midwest. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for March 9-13 calls for below-normal temperatures across the majority of the U.S., while warmer-than-normal weather will be confined to New England, the Great Basin, and the Pacific Coast States. Meanwhile, above-normal precipitation in most areas from the central and southern Plains to the Atlantic Seaboard will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in the West.

Willowvale - Two men accused of killing a teenager appeared in the Willowvale Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Thanduxolo Ntombi, 20, and Thelelani Tywakava, 22, were warned to appear in court again on March 11.
They were arrested on Friday after being implicated in the death last week of a teenager in the Nyumbeni area, said Captain Jackson Manatha.
He said one of them was believed to have been in a relationship with the youth's cousin. They saw him with her and thought he was her new boyfriend.
"When the 19-year-old man returned from accompanying his cousin, he met with the two suspects. They 1/8were 3/8 armed with sticks and bush knives and attacked him," said Manatha.
A passerby found him and took him to the Thafalofefe hospital, but he later died. - Sapa

Since you don't get any DVDs with the S10 netbook, it nice that Lenovo includes OneKey Recovery 7.0 on the system. The problem for us average computer users is that it's impossible to understand how one option differs from the next.
Fist choice presented is: SYSTEM BACKUP or CREATE RECOVERY DISK
I understand the "Create Recovery Disk" but after selecting that option, I am presented with three more choices. They are:
1. Recovery disc with existing backup image
2. Recovery disc with current system
3. Factory default recovery disk
Does anyone have any idea what the difference for these three options?
Back to "System Backup". This is a backup onto the D drive. Does anyone have any idea what is being backed up?
Help in understanding this terminology would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
system backup means ... backup your windows includes all .. users settings,drivers, and saved data if you saved this on the windows part, as is , now at this moment (takes a snapshot from running windows system) .windows system part only.. not the recovery (and/or data part if there exiist one )part itself.. saved on a empty specific or data part on internal harddrive, for later use to recover... save only while no recover created.. that will come to the next point...
Create Recovery Disk..
1. Recovery Disc with existing backup... creates a Recovery disc if a backup exists with timestamp at time where created bootable ...windows system only.. no recovery part itself
2. Rescovery disc with current system... near same as above.. creates a backup with timestamp now ... its bootable ...windows system only.. no recovery part itself.
3. Factory default recovery disc... Creates a Factory recovery with no personal settings no users or anything else with factory defaults. its bootable.. recovers windows system part only.. no recovery part itself.
when used .deletes the windows part.. overwrite all user settings good for a start from scratch, reinstalls all with programs and drivers all as it saved in factory ...
...but not influenced is recovery part on hdd..
Differencies: Not to mix up with windows install ...it creates not a windows install disc , keep that in mind..
It creates a mirror of an pre-installed (in factory) ready to rumble system...that rewrites the mirror back to your harddrive..
When you bought (or have) a windows licence with install media or download ...you have to install windows, drivers, programs,settings by your own...
That is a good solution , but not in all cases... when you accidental delete part or move part , where the recover part takes place you are not able to create a factory recover ..
or when hdd have one bad sector or part, and you never create a factory disc ... you are not able to create a factory disc or restore something other, and it recover never the whole harddrive...
because the part with itself (the creater and the factory default restore part) is not included ...
So the most important is create factory default recover disc at first... in bad case you can restore back to factory the windows part , comes up with a freshly start ... thats even better than a crashed windows...
... thats not the best solution ... as i say in the beginning...
I prefer before start the overall first time...
save the whole harddrive to another media...DVD/Thumbdrive/Harddrive/SD-Card with an third party program, like ToDoBackup, DiscBackup, Acronis TrueImage, there are many more as freeware or with extra charge , but its not wasted money,
the benefits are, save time (not in all cases) ... and rescue system is more prevented against harddrive failure, No Virus Malware can harm .. and it restore to real factory defaults , because the factory restore part itself will saved too
And the best is..you are free ... with the complete hdd backup you saved.. you can resize,delete, install every existing operating system you ever want , with programs/driver you want
without fear...to loose all..
Hope that this little excursion makes some points more clear
sincerely KalvinKlein

'PSUs need greater autonomy, freedom from bureacratic control'
By PTI | Published: 21st November 2013 03:10 PM |
Last Updated: 21st November 2013 03:11 PM | A+A A- |
Favouring state-run companies becoming more competitive, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the public sector enterprises have to be provided greater functional autonomy and freed from bureaucratic control.
"Going forward, our governments will have to increasingly adopt competition-neutral policies... Competitive neutrality requires that the government not use its legislative and fiscal powers to give undue advantage to its own businesses over the private sector," he said.
Speaking at the BRICS Competition Conference here, Singh said the solution lies in providing "greater functional autonomy" to public sector firms and freeing them from bureaucratic control, and not in tolerating a slip in their competitiveness and then shielding them from competition.
Singh observed that by virtue of their ownership, public sector companies have long enjoyed captive markets and been shielded from competition.
Stating that exposure of public sector enterprises to increased competition is a crucial issue, Singh said government owning a firm does not mean that it should shelter the company from competition as well.
"Unfortunately, government ownership inevitably brings with it a bureaucratic style of decision-making and the end result is that the enterprise cannot compete in a market populated by equals," the Prime Minister said.
Addressing officials of fair trade regulatory authorities from the BRICS grouping -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- and other nations, Singh said a competitive public procurement market can make bid rigging more difficult.
Noting that anti-competitive behaviour hurts the "poor most of all", Singh said that effective competition in markets need to be created and enforced through public policy.
"... fair and effective competition in markets is easier said than done. It has to be created and enforced through public policy. Otherwise, private barriers may simply substitute governmental barriers to trade and prevent improvements in social welfare," Singh said.
According to him, there is an increasing need to recognise the complimentarities between competition law enforcement and liberalisation of markets for procurement.
Emphasising that public procurement forms a substantial slice of state spending, the Prime Minister said competitive procurement markets can help save valuable fiscal resources.
Meanwhile, expressing hope that BRICS would emerge as global economic powerhouses, Singh said that agreements are in the pipeline for setting up of a BRICS Development Bank and a contingency reserve arrangement for the benefit of five nations.
Stressing the need for greater economic and political co-ordination among the member nations, Singh said they face common challenges such as in monitoring and managing capital flows in times of global uncertainties.
"Growth, development and poverty reduction are the most important challenges that our governments face," he said.
Singh said India is poised to become the most significant exporter of services, while China is on the path to becoming the undisputed global leader in export of manufactured goods.
Besides, South Africa is ideally situated to reap dividends from the untapped growth potential of African continent, while Russia and Brazil dominate as exporters of raw materials, he added.
BRICS countries have a combined population of three billion with a total GDP of nearly USD 14 trillion and about USD 4 trillion of forex reserves, Singh noted.
The two-day conference would deliberate various issues and challenges including public procurement and creation of competition culture. The theme of this year's conference is 'Competition Enforcement in BRICS Countries: Issues and Challenges'.

"Family Tree" CD release concert by Eve Selis and her band, with guests Berkley Hart and Dennis Caplinger
When: 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11
Where: Sherwood Auditorium, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla
Tickets: $20-$30
Phone: (877) 725-8849
Online: ticketalternative.com or eveselis.com
I have no doubt that veteran San Diego singer-songwriter Eve Selis would have achieved a fair measure of national prominence, if she was based in Nashville or Austin. That said, it's a distinct advantage for the local scene that she and her crack Americana music band have chosen to remain here.
Simply put, it's always good for the bar to be raised and kept high. And that, happily, is what Selis and her one-woman, four-man band have done, dating back to the 1990s. Their all-ages performance Friday at La Jolla's Sherwood Auditorium will celebrate the release of her seventh album, "Family Tree."
The 14-song release features her patented mix of bluesy rockers ("Rubber and Glue," "Witness To Your Love"), twang-happy romps ("Crazy That I Love"), rustic country ballads ("All Roads Lead to Here," "When Is Everything Enough?"), boogie-fueled rave-ups ("Stop the Train"), and more.
The quality is uniformly high. But that's not surprising, considering that Selis is an accomplished songwriter, whether working on her own or collaborating. She sings with equal skill and conviction whether belting out a lyric with hair-raising power or lovingly caressing it.
The cameos on "Family Tree" by two Grammy-winning instrumental greats, guitarist Albert Lee and anything-with-strings master Dennis Caplinger, are impressive, certainly.
But no more so than the sterling musicianship of Selis' own band members, who between them have worked with Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs, Kenny Loggins, San Diego-bred Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chris Hillman and a good number more.
The winner of at least five San Diego Music Awards, including last year's for Best Americana Artist, Selis will also perform Dec. 9 and 10 at the 22nd annual "Carols by Candlelight" benefit concert at California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
Expect a similarly festive air to prevail when she takes the stage Friday at Sherwood Auditorium, a venue whose Goldilocks size — not too big, not too small — seems just right.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Forming one part of the "Moment" collection by Front for Moroso is this soft wood sofa. Astonishingly, the sofa is actually upholstered with a soft fabric, making for a comfortable seat. The print used is a photorealistic wood grain print which gives the illusion of a hard wooden surface. Apparently the sofa was created as "an exploration in the difference between the visual and tactile experience."

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced yesterday that more than doubled the number of communities taking part in its nationwide reading program, the Big Read. One hundred seventeen cities were awarded grants to produce celebrations of American literature from September through December 2007. The Big Read, launched nationally in October 2006 by the NEA, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Arts Midwest, encourages literary reading by asking communities to come together to read and discuss one book. Laura Bush is the honorary chair of the Big Read.
"By joining the Big Read, these cities and towns are showing that reading is necessary to the cultural, civic, even economic fabric of their communities. They understand the benefit of having people from different generations and walks of life reading and discussing a great book," said NEA Chairman Dana Gioia. "Yes, this is about reading, but it's also about getting people to leave their homes and offices, unplug themselves for a few hours, and enjoy the pleasures of literature with their neighbors."

The Golden Gate Bridge district board has relaxed restrictions on small groups of protesters, a move spurred by a lawsuit that said officials violated free speech rights.
The change has a direct impact on small groups of 50 and under, which had been required to obtain permits in order to assemble on the span and could not bring bullhorns or hand-held signs.
Now under the new rules, which went into place last week, groups with up to 50 people can have up to 50 signs — one per person — without a permit. They can also have two bullhorns. Larger groups still will have to obtain permits.
"There is a very delicate balance," said Kary Witt, bridge manager. "We want to support First Amendment rights and the right for people to assemble and express themselves. And as an international icon, many find the bridge a good backdrop to do that. But we also have a responsibility to those who use the bridge as a transportation link."
To that end the new rules still limit activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., outside of commute periods.
"We still have a cap on time because we don't want to snarl the commute," said Mary Currie, district spokeswoman. "People tend to stop and look and try to read signs and that can tie up traffic quickly."
Witt said safety is an issue as well. "We have 10-foot wide lanes with people traveling at 45 mph in varying weather conditions and anything that distracts drivers is a potential safety hazard," he said.
In another change, the district previously had limited protests to not more than two in one day. Now there will not be a limit to permitted events if there is a break of at least an hour between each activity.
In January 2011, U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel ruled some of the bridge district rules were too restrictive.
The lawsuit was based on two complaints. One was from a man who went to the bridge in 2008 to protest China, which had the Olympics that year. He was carrying a sign and was ordered to hand it over and when he declined he was taken to the ground by bridge officers, according to the lawsuit.
The anti-war group Code Pink also was a plaintiff, saying the regulations placed on its bridge walks restricted the group's freedom of speech.

Treasury's reform proposal for Fannie, Freddie could arrive Fridayby Tim Manni
Opinions on what to do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac run a range from eliminating them swiftly and entirely, to gradually reducing their lending power and influence over the entire mortgage market.
On Wednesday, House Republicans held a hearing to debate the future of the GSEs ahead of the Treasury's proposal, which is now expected as early as Friday. While there are conflicting opinions in terms of how Fannie and Freddie should be dealt with, I think everyone agrees that they need to be dealt with. I believe we can expect to see at least two major reforms that everyone can agree on:
- According to multiple sources, the first and most-agreed-upon change will come in the form of reducing Fannie and Freddie's lending amounts — something I said needed to happen last year when the higher loan limits were set to expire.
- I think the second will come in some form of added taxpayer protection. Fannie and Freddie's current role in the mortgage market is so immense — "Together with federal agencies, Fannie and Freddie have accounted for nine of 10 new loan originations in the past year," writes Nick Timiraos of the Wall Street Journal — they need to yield to the private market to, above all else, limit taxpayer liability.
For a more detailed breakdown of the plans/ideas from those who testified at Wednesday's hearing, be sure to review this article from Mortgage News Daily.
As we mentioned, the word is that the Treasury will unveil its concepts for dealing with Fannie and Freddie as early as tomorrow. According to what certain sources have told the Wall Street Journal, the Treasury is expected to release multiple strategies for reforming the GSEs.
That's a good thing in my opinion.
Coming to the table with more than one option not only lessens the potential backlash of opposing counterpoints, but I think it shows that the White House isn't exactly sure what the best move actually is, and that it's going to take considerable debate to choose the proper plan of action.
All that said, I'm not really expecting the Treasury's proposals to be overly in-depth.
Sure we'll likely hear in some form or another that loan limits should be scaled back, that taxpayers need greater protection, and that the cost implications for shrinking Fannie and Freddie's role in the market will come at a greater cost to consumers, but honestly, I believe the Treasury will go out of its way not to get this wrong.
For some time now HSH.com's VP Keith Gumbinger has said the real GSE reform, not just the formulation of ideas and strategies, will be ultimately kicked down the road for the next administration to deal with. With all eyes watching, and with so many diverging opinions, it will be interesting to see what the Treasury comes forth with and when.
