Big outback bushfire threat looms
Fire authorities are warning consecutive years of flooding and big rain will potentially create the worst fire threat Queensland has seen in years.
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service says there are huge volumes of grass in many regions due to the excellent seasonal conditions and that will pose a fire risk later in the year.
Superintendent Wayne Waltisbuhl says while there were fires last summer, there was plenty of grazing land that did not burn and conditions are likely to be worse this summer.
"That's our gut feeling at the moment, that a lot of our staff, the volunteers, the brigades and local landowners are telling us, so we'd be silly to ignore local knowledge," he said.
"Two years of very, very good vegetation growth has meant very, very high fuel loads.
"So people need to identify what are the key bits on their properties they want to protect and put some fire breaks in."
Superintendent Waltisbuhl says Queensland's far south-western corner saw massive fires last summer but this year could potentially be worse.
"Years ago we never worried about fire seasons in the western part of the region because it was all rocks and desert," he said.
"Now we've got deserts that are fully vegetated, capable of carrying large fires and we have seen that from the South Australian border and Innamincka, right back towards the Thargomindah area where we've had some major fires.
"Speaking to a number of landowners, they are very worried about the upcoming fire season."

Moscow (Dec. 20)
The first All Biro-Bidjan Soviet conference, now in session in the town of Biro-Bidjan, is the greatest political event in the life of the territory. The entire town is draped with red flags and with posters relating the achievements and future plans of the Jewish autonomous area. Airplanes circling over the town dropped leaflets extolling the congress with the slogan, "The Jewish Region, the Socialistic Homeland, Grows and Ripens."
The second session of the conference was devoted to speeches by S. Dimanstein, who spoke on behalf of the All-Union Central Executive Committee, the highest body in the land; I. Kharik, who represented the White Russian Republic, and F. Sprakh, who spoke for Comzet, Soviet Jewish colonization organization.

Eurofighter Looks
To Build on Greek Sale
The Eurofighter consortium hopes the Greek government's approval of the acquisition of 60 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft with options for another 30 will bolster its case in other fighter competitions such as Norway's.
The Greek cabinets defense and foreign affairs committee last week authorized the Defense Ministry to go ahead with the procurement, about a year after Greece named Eurofighter as its preferred choice (AW&STFeb. 22, 1999, p. 32). A contract, estimated to be worth $4.9 bil-lionj is expected to be signed by this summer. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2004 and run through 2009.
When combined with orders from the original four partner nations, the Greek contract will bring the total number of Eurofighters ordered to 680 aircraft, plus options for another 120. Consortium member DaimlerChrysler Aerospace has already placed work with Hellenic Aerospace Industries. The Greek aerospace company is being privatized, with a 49% stake up for sale. Both DASA and BAE Systems have expressed an interest.
However, a decision in Norway's competition has been delayed. Industry officials now expect word this summer, Norway is looking for 20 fighters with options for another 10. Deliveries could begin in 2003 for a late 2005 in-service target date. Eurofighter has provided an extensive industrial work package as part of its bid and has already placed subcontract work with Norway's Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace to manufacture structural sub-componfents for the aircraft.
The consortium faces tough opposition in the form of the Lockheed Martin F-16, however The U.S. company's prospects received a boost with the long-awaited signing of a contract with the United Arab Emirates for 80 Block 60 F-16s. Lockheed Martin offered Norway both Block 50+ and more advanced Block 60 versions.
With the UAE's decision to buy the Block 60 F-16, as well as pay part of the development costs, Lockheed Martin will have a formidable competitor to challenge the Eurofighter on the export market. The aircraft is the most advanced version of the F-16 ever offered to export customers, with several new technologies, including an active electronically scanned array radar.
In addition to Norway, South Korea is looking to acquire 40-60 new fighters, and Eurofighter officials say they expect to have South Korean pilots fly the aircraft before year-end. Five potential customers in all are expected to conduct flight evaluations of the aircraft this year.
The Eurofighter development program is facing a series of complex trials this year, with flight tests of initial operating capability versions of both the flight control and avionics software. The Eurofightcr flight test program passed the 1,000-hr mark early last month.
DA6, one of seven development air-is expected to conclude a series of environmental rests at the U.K. Defense Evaluation Research Agency (DERA) facility here. The tests began last November. The rwo-sear aircraft, built by CASA of Spain, was subjected to extreme temper-arures and humidity levels at DERA's environmental hangar here, which can simulate temperatures ranging from —70C to +70C. Engines and auxiliary power units were run during the tests/in addition to the aircraft's electrical and electronic systems.
THE HAN GAITS SOLAR array capability also was employed to simulate the effects of direct sunlight on the upper surfaces of the aircraft, including the canopy. The first production-standard cockpit canopy was delivered to BAE Systems this month by Aerospace Composite Technologies, a subsidiary of GKN Westland Aerospace.
DKRAs blower tunnel was employed for icing trials with DA6, preparatory to planned inflight icing trials. The blower is capable of airspeeds of 280 kt. with wa-
ter and liquid nitrogen introduced into the airstream to simulate icing conditions. Tests were run to evaluate aircraft surfaces, including engine intakes, canards, cockpit canopy and wingtip pods.
Meanwhile, production is moving ahead with eight forward and 10 center fuselages under assembly at BAE Systems and DASA facilities. Co-bonding of wings is underway at Alenia and CASA. Final assembly of the first initial production aircraft starts in .September at BAE Systems1 Warton facility
Deliveries to customers within the original four-nation program are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2002

REIGNING Commonwealth Games champion Dai Greene revealed his disappointment at relinquishing his 400m hurdles crown after bowing out in the semi-final.
Greene, who told the Argus last week that he was not in medal-winning form, went in the final heat knowing either finishing in the top two or placing in the four and running below 49.97 secs would secure a place in Thursday's final at Hampden Park.
But the injuries over the last few years took their toll as Greene faltered in only his second race in a year before finishing fifth in 50.36secs, more than two seconds slower than his personal best.
"It was disappointing not to reach the final," said Greene, who has had three hernia operations in the last 15 months.
"I had a good lane draw but I have not had a lot of preparation and I paid for it at the end.
"I lacked the specific endurance hurdling and it showed in the final straight.
"I had nothing left and the guys left me and I could not respond.
"I have not done a lot of racing so I was not sure how I would respond and it was like a voyage of discovery.
"I am not too distraught because at one point I did not think I would be here.
"My season had not materialise at how I wanted it to be.
"It was just fantastic out there in the stadium.
"I don't like losing or finishing down the field.
"But I know I have not done the training to become Commonwealth champion which takes months.
"I knew I was not in that sort of shape but I was not going to pass up the opportunity of wearing the Welsh vest and experiencing the crowd.
"You have a short shelf life for an athlete so when you get chances you have to take them.
"I was always going to be out here regardless of my fitness."
Greene has also indicated he is likely to miss the European Championships in Zurich next months after failing the run the qualification standard of 49.80secs.
"I did not get the A standard and I am off that so I don't think there will be any races," said Greene.
"It's likely to be the end of it for me but it's too early to make a definitive decision."
The Welsh Athletics squad, who have yet to win one of their four targeted medals, have been rocked by two failed doping tests for Gareth Warburton and Rhys Williams.
Greene also revealed the holding camp in Portugal, which he did not attend as he prepared in Bath and Scotland, was disrupted by a sudden serious illness to one of the physiotherapists.
But Team Wales have responded by reaching their medal target of 27 within six days.
"There have been a few issues and one of the support staff were also taken ill at the holding camp," said Greene.
"But Team Wales have done really well and it has probably brought the guys closer together as a unit.
"The morale is good and the negativity is not being talked about around the camp.
"It is about how Team Wales have exceeded our medal target and gone past how we did in Delhi.
"People in track and field want to do well.
"I am just sad I can't continue the momentum other people have created."
Greene also spoke once more about the situation facing good friend Warburton and fierce rival Williams after the Welsh duo were banned and missed the Commonwealth Games as they prepare to answer their doping charges.
"I don't know anyone personally who has been involved in anything like this and I was shocked," added the 28-year-old.
"I know Gareth and Rhys are not deliberate cheaters and they must have been careless or misled slightly and that will come out eventually.
"I lived with Gareth for a few years and the running joke with him was that he lived off raisins and couscous because he could not afford anything else.
"I don't think he is running a drugs ring in Cardiff and that's the honest truth.
"If you look at him you would think he was the last person to take steroids.
"I have tried to have a laugh with him on the phone about it because I know I can and he is a strong character.
"While Rhys and I don't get on, I know he is not the sort of person to cheat and I don't think anyone in Welsh or British athletics who thinks they are trying to dope to get an advantage.
"It is unfortunate but as professional athletes we have to learn not take anything that's not batch tested and that's the way it "The timing was unfortunate but hopefully other people will learn from it.
"It's difficult because the standard line is don't take any supplements.
"But some are fine, some are batch tested and others are not.
"I would be intrigued to see if they were batch tested and we will find out more about that in the future."
Greene accepts both athletes face a ban but believes they have already been punished.
"There is bound to be a punishment and there is no way you are going to get away with having steroids or whatever it was in their system," said Greene.
"But they have already been punished severely because they have missed the Commonwealths and will be too old by the time the next one comes around to be in good shape.
"That's a nasty knock and they will be affected next year probably. They will be punished but I'm sure they have not deliberately taken anything."

Symbolism In The Great GatsbyThis essay Symbolism In The Great Gatsby is available for you on Essays24.com! Search Term Papers, College Essay Examples and Free Essays on Essays24.com - full papers database.

Symbolism is really popular in novels written during the 1920's. One such example is F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. There is a lot of symbolism in this novel, but there are three main examples that stand out more than the others. The color green, the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg, and East and West Egg, influence the story greatly. These examples of symbolism show many thoughts, ideas, attitudes, and choices that the characters have throughout the story.
The color green, as it is used in the novel, symbolizes different choices the character Jay Gatsby can make during his life. The green aspect in this novel is taken from the green light at the end of the dock close to Daisy's house. The color itself signifies stillness, symbolizing that everything is wonderful. This informs Gatsby that he should not chase his dream for getting Daisy back, because his chance has passed and everything is as it should be. This is exposed with Nick's thought, "...His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him... (Pg.189)"
In this novel there seems to be no fear of consequence, of judgment. In this case, who is judging? That is what the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg are for. These eyes are from a billboard that appears over Wilson's garage. The eyes are always mentioned whenever Nick is there. They look over the situation, neutrally, but offer judgment on the characters and their actions. They are placed near Wilson's garage because that is where some of the most egotistical acts take place: Myrtle's death, Tom's affair. All of these crimes go unpunished. So the eyes look on and remind the characters of the guilt that they fail to remember to have for what they have done.
"The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic-their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose."
This is a quote from Nick Carraway, the narrator of the story, and the tone of Jay Gatsby. Dr. Eckelburg is established at this point. He takes on a reflection of a human form, which is characterized many times throughout the novel, and that of a Godlike figure.
One of the most important themes in the novel is class and social status. It is an obstacle for almost every character. East and West Egg signify a symbol of the novel's extreme materialism in every character. Tom and Daisy live on the East which is far more sophisticated and well bred. Nick and Gatsby are on the West, which is for people

NRG threw the switch to begin operating its 25 megawatt Avra Valley Solar Facility near Tucson, Arizona."Today we celebrate the Avra Valley solar project as an example of our success in developing solar projects that meet the renewable energy needs of local utilities and generate cost-effective solar power over the long term," said Randy Hickok, Senior Vice President of NRG Solar. "Although NRG has many distributed solar projects and thermal operations in Arizona, this project represents our first delivery of solar power to Tucson Electric Power, helping TEP meet Arizona's renewable energy goals." The NRG system will serve as the single largest solar array in TEP's renewable energy portfolio. "We've worked hard to embrace solar energy as a clean, cost-effective renewable resource for our customers. The NRG system shows how we can expand our renewable energy portfolio while also investing in our community and helping to create jobs," said Paul J. Bonavia, Chairman and CEO of TEP and its parent company UNS Energy Corporation (NYSE: UNS). The Avra Valley array will generate enough energy to meet the annual needs of approximately 5,000 homes, and up to 20,000 homes at peak capacity. Using clean solar power also avoids the annual emission of approximately 51,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the equivalent of taking more than 10,700 cars off the road.
Today, NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NRG), through its wholly owned subsidiary NRG Solar, announced the start of commercial operations for the Avra Valley Solar Generating Station, a 25 megawatt (AC) photovoltaic facility near Tucson, Ariz. The station's electricity will be sold to Tucson Electric Power under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

How to make your Halloween expenses less frightening!
Posted October 8, 2013
Updated October 9, 2013
As a parent, the most spooky thing about Halloween is the cost of costumes, candy and decorations! Here are some easy ways to cut those expenses and still have a frighteningly fabulous and fantastically frugal Halloween!
How much do you spend on Halloween costumes per child each year?
I know some parents who spend $50 or more on kids costumes every single year. If that's not enough to scare you, I don't know what is!
Here are some funny and really cheap costume suggestions from readers on the Smart Shopper blog that would definitely make your Halloween costume costs less frightening.
1. Tape Smarties candy all over your pants and now you're a smarty pants.
2. Tape a big picture of a quarter on your back and now you're a quarter back.
3. Wrap yourself in tin foil and now you are……. leftovers.
4. Get a plastic dirty clothes basket from somewhere like the dollar store. Cut a hole in bottom so you can fit through it. Use a rope or suspenders to make straps over your shoulders to hold it up, Fill the basket with clothes and pin socks to your shirt with safety pins. You are dirty laundry!
5. Cut out a bunch of copies of the letter "P" from construction paper or black felt and pin them to your shirt. Then use makeup to give yourself a black eye. What are you? Black eye'd peas!
Find 39 additional frugal and last minute costumes on spoonful.com including an hysterical Gross-eries costume!
Additional suggestions:
Look at your local Freecycle.org group for free costumes. There are over 10,000 members of the Wake County freecycle group. Someone must be offering up a free costume!
Hit the thrift store for Halloween costumes or pieces of clothing that you can make into a costume.
Do a costume swap with friends and trade the costumes your kids wore last year for the ones their kids wore.
Buy costumes including makeup and accessories for 75% - 90% regular retail after Halloween to use next year and for playing dress-up all year long.
The best deals on candy are found when matching coupons with sales and drug store rebate deals. All the drug stores have candy deals every week until Halloween that match well with available coupons. Look for deals that offer a reward when you buy a certain dollar amount and then couple that store reward with your coupons. I usually aim for $1 - $1.50 per 9 oz. - 11 oz bag of chocolate candy after sales, coupons and rewards.
Remember that non-chocolate candy is usually less expensive than chocolate.
Don't feel like you have to get enough candy for every kid to get a handful. They will get a TON of candy throughout the night. You don't have to fill their bag.
If you don't want to contribute to tooth decay, go with some fun non-candy giveaways like temporary tattoos, pencils, erasers, stickers, mini bubble bottles. Many stores have inexpensive Halloween items like pencils, Halloween plastic tumblers and Halloween activity books that go as low as 10 cents each.
Consider the candy buy back program at dentist offices: Many dental offices here in the Triangle give you $1 for every lb of candy you donate and then they donate the candy to our US military troops overseas! Check out halloweencandybuyback.com for a list of specific dental offices that are participating. If you work for a dental office, it looks like you can still sign up to participate this year.
Don't forget the clearance candy! Hit those Halloween clearance sales for chocolate candy – it freezes well and solid chocolate bars can reappear for holiday baking in November and December.
Stock up for next year after Halloween this year. Starting November 1, Halloween is marked down to 50% off and 1 to 2 weeks later usually goes to 75% off. This is a great time to buy some bigger items you wanted but didn't want to pay full price for.
Buy solid color plates and napkins (in orange and black) to use all year for functions or save them until next Halloween.
Your suggestions
How much do you spend each year for Halloween costumes, candy and decorations?
What's the most you have ever spent on a costume?
What do you do to keep the Halloween budget under control?

Very important piece by Harry Allen about Kanye and Taylor, Twitter and the N-word. I tend to think it's easy to get overheated about these kinds of pop culture flare-ups, and my initial reaction to Kanye's bumrushing of Taylor was a hohum mix of "What a bad look" and "Kanye just grows more fascinating by the day." I did not, therefore, dash off a quick tweet about how Kanye's action merely confirmed his innate racial inferiority.
Harry meditates on the racial implications of the Kanye moment, and he has some incredible things to say about "post-racism" (it refuses to die...) in the age of Twitter...he actually collects tweets that feature "Kanye" and "Ni---er" within their 140 characters. Most of them seem to originate from users who, based on their profiles, don't seem "racist" in any obvious way, whatever that would mean.*
A question has emerged as the readymade response to any accusations of racism, and it's the one that many have long feared: if there is indeed racism in America, then how did Obama win the election? No amount of data or historical analysis, no lesson in argumentative reasoning, not even a time machine, probably, would satisfy those who use this question as a defense against the claim that anti-Obama disrespect feels profoundly different. It certainly looks different. Reading Harry's post and watching something on CNN earlier about Jimmy Carter's comments on the possibly racist subtexts of current anti-Obama, it seems that our understanding of the Obama moment has shifted from one in which racism is merely "over and done" to one in which black privilege reigns supreme.
The tweets Allen collects are pretty fascinating. I remember writing a piece about hip-hop in the digital age in the early 2000s--kids who would "battle" over chat programs, or message boards where strangers would argue about purity of form or historical minutiae. At the time, I thought that the Internet complicated hip-hop by raising the stakes on authenticity--the Internet opened up new possibilites of performance and masquerade, it allowed the trying-on of different, distant identities. But maybe this assumed a set of impulses--a desire to know the Other; a passion for love and theft; a firmer sense of space and difference--that no longer apply. Instead of kids pretending they're The Other, it feels like you're more likely to see the kind of trigger-happy, contextless, self-excavating performances that Harry discovers, ones that can be quite chilling at their worst.
*-Related but tangential: what kinds of "archives" will researchers in
the future consult? Is our faith in the cached and the trackbackable a
bit haughty?

Deerhunter's Bradford Cox to Play Jared Leto's Lover in 'The Dallas Buyers Club'
Bradford Cox has joined the cast of 'The Dallas Buyers Club,' appearing as the lover of actor/30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto's cross-dressing gay character in the forthcoming big screen flick. The Deerhunter and Atlas Sound frontman's involvement was revealed in a Hollywood Reporter article that also announced Griffin Dunne (Showtime's 'House of Lies') and Denis O'Hare (HBO's 'True Blood') would be appearing in the film.
Directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, 'The Dallas Buyers Club' is based on the true story of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey), a homophobic Texas electrician who contracted HIV in the '80s from sharing needles. Told by his doctor (Hilary Swank) that he has six months to live, he instead begins exploring experimental medicine treatments — much to the chagrin of the Federal Drug Administration. The movie, which also stars Jennifer Garner, is currently shooting in New Orleans.
McConaughey reportedly lost 30 pounds for the role, leaving him "looking haggard and shockingly thin," and Leto shed a ton of weight after bulking up to play Mark David Chapman in 'Chapter 27.' But Cox, who has openly discussed having the genetic disorder Marfan syndrome, is unusually tall with long, thin fingers, likely giving him a frame suited for the role.

Welcome to the ODAC Newsletter, a weekly roundup from the Oil Depletion Analysis Centre, the UK registered charity dedicated to raising awareness of peak oil.
The debt crisis and the war in Libya continued their push and pull on the oil price this week with the outlook currently weakening over fears of a Eurozone recession. Despite this Brent continues to trade at over $100/barrel – around double the price at which any previous economic recovery has occurred.
The rising cost of energy is playing out in a number of ways. At one level it is stifling economic growth; at the same time however it is driving new behaviours and culture change — an interesting example of this is changes in travel habits. In Britain, the percentage of 17- to 20-year-olds with driving licences fell from 48% in the early 1990s to 35% last year, and car manufacturers are having respond to a market in which car ownership appears to be a declining aspiration.
At the same time however rising prices and the decline in "easy to access" resources is bringing with it new and difficult choices as previously uneconomic resources and technologies become financially rewarding. Nowhere is this illustrated more clearly than in the UK following Cuadrilla's discovery of what they claim to be 200 trillion cubic feet of shale gas. While many independent reports anticipate that the discovery will be smaller than the company's estimate, and only 20% would be recoverable, there is considerable excitement at the prospect of new jobs and a new domestic energy source. On the other hand, it is clear from the US experience that there are risks involved in fracking for gas, including the possibility of water contamination, which is resulting in a growing lobby against the process.
That being so, you would hope that the UK government could learn from the US experience and ensure that a 'safety first' regulatory framework was in place. According to documents revealed by The Guardian however there appears to be a frighteningly laissez-faire approach and lack of clarity over the oversight of the new industry — so much so that even Cuadrilla is looking for tighter regulation! Add to this the threat of 800 wells in Lancashire alone — with further projects already being considered in Wiltshire and Wales —and concerns that shale gas could pull investment away from clean technologies, and the government appears to be asleep at the wheel on this one. Chris Huhne told the Liberal Party Conference that he will need to avoid a dash for gas in order to meet UK emissions goals — a French-style fracking moratorium would be a good start.
Oil Gains in New York; Set for Biggest Quarterly Drop Since 2008
Oil rose in New York, paring the steepest quarterly drop since 2008, as investors speculated U.S. fuel demand will increase on signs the economy of the world's biggest crude user is expanding faster than estimated.
Futures climbed for a second day after reports showed U.S. gross domestic product last quarter and jobless claims last week beat forecasts. West Texas Intermediate's discount to European Brent oil narrowed for a sixth day, the longest streak since March 2010…
North Sea oil slump will cost UK Treasury millions in lost taxes
Britain's oil production from the North Sea has fallen by 16pc since last year in a drastic drop that will cost the Treasury millions of pounds in lost taxes.
Officials from the Department for Energy and Climate Change put the unexpectedly large fall down to "maintenance and other production issues" on top of the long-term trend of declining output…
In North Dakota, Flames of Wasted Natural Gas Light the Prairie
They are not wildfires caused by lightning strikes or other acts of nature, but the deliberate burning ofnatural gas by oil companies rushing to extract oil from the Bakken shale field and take advantage of the high price of crude. The gas bubbles up alongside the far more valuable oil, and with less economic incentive to capture it, the drillers treat the gas as waste and simply burn it.
Every day, more than 100 million cubic feet of natural gas is flared this way — enough energy to heat half a million homes for a day…
Pipeline's Backers, Critics Face Off
The battle over a proposed $7 billion, 1,700-mile pipeline aimed at boosting Canadian crude-oil imports by the U.S. moved out of Washington and into the heartland, as the State Department this week kicked off a series of public hearings along the line's proposed route.
On Tuesday, proponents and critics squared off in Lincoln, Neb., which has emerged as a particularly heated battleground for the project. The public hearings include other stops—from Texas and Oklahoma to Montana and South Dakota—before culminating back in Washington late next week…
BP and Transocean argue over fresh Gulf of Mexico oil 'leaks'
The US Coast Guard has warned that more oil may have leaked from the Deepwater Horizon rig, causing a new round of finger-pointing between BP and Transocean.
There have been several sightings of oil near the site of last year's Gulf of Mexico accident in recent months. On Wednesday, the Coast Guard issued a warning to Transocean, the owner of the rig, saying it "may be financially accountable for debris removal costs and damages" if the rig or riser pipeline are found to be the cause. There was no evidence oil came from the well itself…
Turkey Rattles Saber Over Oil Drilling
Turkey said it was ready to send warships to escort research vessels that would explore for oil and gas off the coast of Northern Cyprus, responding to what it said was a provocation by the island's Greek Cypriot south.
Monday's saber-rattling came as Texas-based Noble Engineering Inc. began exploratory drilling farther south between Cyprus and Israel late Sunday, despite Turkish warnings to halt the project, the semiofficial Cyprus News Agency reported. Noble was operating under license from the Republic of Cyprus, the island's internationally recognized government in the Greek Cypriot south…
OPEC Says Producers Will Cut Back Once Libya Output Recovers
Gulf members of OPEC will cut their output of oil onceLibya's production is back on track, Abdullah al-Badri, secretary general of OPEC, said this week.
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf producers raised output this summer to make up for the stall in Libyan exports that resulted from the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and the international sanctions imposed against his regime…
Damage, Poor Security Slow Libya Oil Flow
Libyan oil workers and officials say damage to ports and oil terminals is so severe and security so poor that the large-scale resumption of exports to Western markets could be delayed longer than some officials had predicted.
The Ras Lanuf oil terminal in eastern Libya was attacked by Gadhafi loyalists on Sept. 12, leaving 15 people dead. At Brega, also in eastern Libya, extensive damage and the presence of unexploded missiles have blocked the start of operations. The Zawiya refinery in western Libya and the massive Es-Sider terminal in central Libya are also damaged…
TransCanada pipeline lobbyist works all the angles with former colleagues
In lobbying for a presidential permit to construct a massive oil pipeline stretching from Canada to the Gulf Coast, TransCanada's Paul Elliott has tried nearly every angle.
Elliott — who served as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's national deputy campaign manager in 2008 — sought to broker multiple meetings between senior State Department officials and TransCanada executives. He offered to enlist Trans Canada officials' aid in helping State officials forge an international climate agreement. And he deluged administration officials with letters testifying to the virtues of the Keystone XL expansion project, which would ship crude oil from Canada's oil sands region to American refiners…
Total Optimistic on Oil, Gas Output
French oil giant Total SA Monday raised its oil-and-gas output guidance and offered a bullish long-term view for petroleum demand, even as it acknowledged that current economic anxiety has caused it to alter the way it does business with banks.
Total executives downplayed the impact of recent economic weakness on oil markets, which remain tight in light of growth in emerging markets. "Today some people speak about a potential recession, but I don't see any impact in the physical market," said Chief Financial Officer Patrick de la Chevardiere in an interview. "A drop in global economic activity won't call into question the fundamentals of our industry."…
Fracking industry will be minimally regulated in UK, letters reveal
Companies hoping to exploit a reportedly massive underground shale gas field under Lancashire will face minimal regulation, despite using controversial extraction methods, an exchange of letters with government agencies has revealed.
A lack of government regulation has been widely blamed for explosions and pollution in the US, where hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is taking place in some areas on the scale envisaged for Britain by Cuadrilla Resources. The company this week announced they had discovered 200tr cu ft of shale gas below Lancashire, and the possibility of drilling thousands of gas wells…
Deep under Lancashire, a huge gas find that could lead to 800 'fracking' wells
The discovery of huge underground deposits of natural gas in Lancashire could lead to a massive expansion in the controversial process of "fracking" (fracturing rock), resulting in hundreds of new wells being sunk across the countryside.
Up to 200 trillion cubic feet of gas has been located by Cuadrilla Resources, which holds the licence to exploit the Bowland Shale area outside Blackpool, and claims 1,700 new jobs may now be created as a result of the discovery…
Doubts raised about giant shale gas find in England
Experts have cast doubt on claims of a giant shale gas find in northwest England, leaving opponents to accuse the company behind it of painting an excessively rosy picture to win political support for the controversial project.
Cuadrilla Resources is owned by Australian drilling company AJ Lucas and private equity firm Riverstone, and has former BP Chief Executive John Browne on its board, said on Wednesday it had found 200 trillion cubic feet of gas in place at its licenses in Lancashire…
Will Cuadrilla's shale gas discovery change UK energy forever?
The claimed scale of shale gas found in Lancashire this week is huge but the idea that it is a game-changer rests on shaky foundations.
On 27 May, a small earthquake shook Blackpool. On 21 September, a much larger 'shock' hit the Lancashire town: the apparent discovery of a globally significant shale gas field, thanks to drilling that may have caused the first tremor…
Shale boom in Bath could pollute water supplies, warn council leaders
The growing controversy over shale gas in Britain has engulfed what Jane Austen once described as the "fine and striking environs" of Bath, home to the world famous hot springs.
Council leaders and MPs have hit out at plans to drill gas wells in the nearby Mendip Hills, which they fear will lead to highly toxic chemicals pumped into the ground in a threat to local water supplies. Two Australian-owned companies, Eden Energy and UK Methane, have obtained licences to explore for shale and are applying to Mendip district council for planning permission to test-drill…
Drillers Face Methane Concern
Sherry Vargson has cooked with water from a five-gallon jug for the past year. It's inconvenient, but preferable to using tap water containing enough methane gas that she can light a match and see an orange flame flare out of the faucet.
Many water supplies in northern Pennsylvania have long contained detectable levels of methane, because of poorly constructed water wells and the unusual geologic features here. But the contamination in Ms. Vargson's existing well is among the first cases that state regulators have attributed to natural-gas drilling, prompting a normally competitive group of drilling companies to work together to fix the problem…
UK renewable electricity output reaches all-time high
Renewable electricity contributed an all time high of 9.6 per cent of the UK's grid mix in the second quarter of this year, statistics released today by the Department of Energy and Climate Change have revealed.
The 7.86TWh (terawatt hours) contributed by green energy generators represented a 50 per cent rise on the same time last year…
Scotland-Norway interconnector application submitted to National Grid
The first steps towards an electricity link between the UK and Norway were taken today as a consortium including Vattenfall and Scottish and Southern Energy made an application to National Grid for a connection offer.
If built, the 1.4 gigawatt link would enable Scotland to export is growing wind resource and give Norway another market for its vast hydro power capacity. The arrangement would effectively see Norway acting as a battery for Scotland's intermittant generation and improve the security of supply for both regions…
Supergrid needed to end UK's electricity isolation, say MPs
More European integration? Not something the UK's Conservative-led coalition would warm to, you might think. But sitting between ambitious targets for offshore wind power and rising home energy bills, they may have to.
"The UK is virtually an electricity island," states a new report from MPs. They demand that the government ends its "laissez-faire approach to offshore transmission" by developing a coordinated power grid in the North Sea that could plug into a future European supergrid…
Thames Water turns to 'poo power' for renewable electricity generation
They look like instant coffee granules, but they are in fact sewage flakes — a highly combustible new renewable form of fuel that burns like woodchip and is being used for the first time to generate electricity for Britain's largest water and sewerage company.
Thames Water has begun producing the flakes by drying sludge — the solids found in sewage — in a purpose-built machine at sewage works in Slough, Berkshire. In a not-so-green move, the company then takes the flakes by lorry to Crossness sewage works in Bexley, south-east London, where they are burnt off to generate electricity…
Scottish and Southern Energy abandons nuclear plans for wind
Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) has confirmed it will withdraw from plans to develop nuclear power, deciding that wind farms provide a better investment.
The utility company will sell its 25pc stake in the NuGen consortium to its partners GDF Suez and Iberdrola. NuGen is only at the very preliminary stages of an investment in nuclear, having bought an option to purchase land near Sellafield for £19.5m two years ago. It would not have a fully completed power station for at least a decade…
Alex Salmond's green energy revolution 'threatens firms with bankruptcy'
The costs of Alex Salmond's green energy revolution are "going through the roof" and threaten to bankrupt companies by doubling energy bills, business leaders have warned the First Minister.
The Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) said electricity is currently about nine times more expensive to generate from wind farms than gas-powered plants…
Solar power boom put at risk by rigid caps on budget, says industry
The fledgling boom in solar power across the UK is in danger of being snuffed out, the renewable energy industry has warned, as ministers have determined to stick by spending plans that would severely limit future investment in the power source.
Almost all of next year's budget for feed-in tariffs — a subsidy paid to generators of solar power and other forms of small-scale renewable energy — is already "spoken for", because it will have to be allocated to existing solar installations, according to Dave Sowden, chief of the Micropower Council, the trade body for the sector. Once the renewable energy equipment has been installed, the owner is entitled to feed-in tariffs for as long as it generates electricity, unless the government changes the rules in future…
Wave and tidal power almost ready for mass consumption, says Alex Salmond
Wave and tidal power devices are close to producing electricity for mass consumption for the first time after a surge in investment, Alex Salmond has predicted.
The first minister said that the latest wave and tide machines being tested in Scottish waters were expected to become commercially viable by 2015 with several hundred megawatts of installed capacity, in a major breakthrough for the green energy industry…
Carbon capture progress has lost momentum, says energy agency
The financial crisis and fading government support for climate action have seriously eroded global plans to capture and store carbon, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned on Thursday.
Sequestration — the depositing of greenhouse gases underground rather than into the atmosphere — was supposed to account for a fifth of the world's emissions reductions under the agency's roadmap for keeping global temperature rise within 2C (4F) by the end of the century…
The end of motoring
Liz Parle can't drive. "I did try to learn," says the 24-year-old, Birmingham-born cafe owner, "but I failed my test a few times." Then she moved to London, where running a car can be a nightmare. Instead she cycles everywhere. "It's cheap, keeps me fit, and is of course better for the environment."
Parle is by no means atypical. In Britain, the percentage of 17- to 20-year-olds with driving licences fell from 48% in the early 1990s to 35% last year. The number of miles travelled by all forms of domestic transport, per capita per year, has flatlined for years. Meanwhile, road traffic figures for cars and taxis, having risen more or less every year since 1949, have continued to fall since 2007. Motoring groups put it down to oil prices and the economy. Others offer a more fundamental explanation: the golden age of motoring is over…
Report Says Vehicle Fuel Should Be the Priority, Not Electricity
Research on solar and wind power is all well and good, but a self-assessment by the Department of Energy has found that in the great scheme of energy needs, the government is not investing enough in transportation energy, an area in which those renewable power sources do not play a role.
"Reliance on oil is the greatest immediate threat to U.S. economic and national security, and also contributes to the long-term threat of climate change," its analysis, released on Tuesday morning, states…

Egypt is one of the countries in Africa and the Middle East. The ancient name for Egypt is Kemet meaning 'black land'. It had obtained its name owing to the fertile black soil found on the plains of the Nile river which flows through Egypt.
Egypt is also known for its historical monuments like the Giza pyramid complex and even the Egyptian civilization holds a lot of importance.
Egypt is a country which has political and cultural significance for the Middle East. Egypt derived its English name from various sources like the French word Egypte, from Latin Aegyptus and ancient Greek Aigyptos.
Facts include farming, paintings, education, religious beliefs and other things that related to and explained the Egyptian lifestyle.
On this website, you will find all information that you need about ancient Egypt. You can just use the menu on the right for key facts about Egypt or use search.

I did a test recently, calibrating and profiling the same Dell U2711 monitor connected to my PC (win , and them on my Mac (10.8.4). I used the latest ArgyllCMS and DispcalGUI on both platforms, with the Same i1Display Pro sensor. I was quite surprised to see the difference between the two calibrations (see attached color accuracy measurements).I used the same methodology and calculation spreadsheet for both, as detailed here (http://stephenstuff.wordpress.com/2011/06/26/complete-display-calibration-with-argyll-cms/) - Great tool BTW!The Win8 calibration and profile is shockingly accurate, while the Mac OS one is quite horrible. I have to wonder if the problem lies within the ArgyllCMS packages on either platform, or in the color management system within the OS. Visually, I could tell that some of the patches were off on the Mac also.On another note; I was very pleasantly impressed with the performance under Win8. I didn't think the U2711 would have been that accurate. There is some variance in uniformity of about -15% in the lower left corner, so it's not perfect, but for the price, it's quite impressive.
> Maybe ArgyllCMS tunes its software toward the way Window's systems deal with color managed previews.It is not.
It is.If you can't explain it simply, Iliah, you don't understand it enough according to Albert Einstein. I think I'll go with what ol' Al baby says.
It is.
So you understand and can explain Mr. Einstein's theory. Good for you. Where is that raw btw?
I can show something to back up what I said.
Where is that raw btw?

We have heard so much about snow over much of the country that we might yearn for some ourselves. However, the freezing temperatures that accompany that snow, we'd just rather do without.
Roughly a year ago, we had a good dusting of snow. It didn't hang around long, but we got some good pictures before the snow melted.
Snow in February in Tucson is not unheard of, as we see in this article. It is rare enough to commandeer a decent amount of newsprint.
The news of treason is told with a chuckle at the end.
From the Arizona Daily Star, Thursday Feb. 2, 1939:
Almost While State Has Wet Covering and Cold Wave
Snow blanketed the desert around Tucson last night as winter's fingers took a firm grip on southern Arizona and most of the rest of the state.
Tucsonans, for one of the few times in memory, were able to build snowmen and throw snowballs. Snow fell all afternoon, and by dusk was an inch deep in sheltered spots.
Outside the city, the floor of the Santa Cruz valley was solidly white last night, and cacti and desert shrubs were bent under the covering. Mountains throughout southern Arizona were covered in places a foot deep.
The snowfall, which ended with flurries of rain, melted on pavements, and a dropping thermometer threatened icy streets by morning. The mercury, which reached a high of 46 during the afternoon, was at 32 and falling at 10 p.m.
Snowball Fights
The snowfall led to the usual snowball fights among students on the University of Arizona campus, and had the added effect of sending Hamilton Keddie, secretary of the Sunshine Climate club, into seclusion for the afternoon. Winter visitors to the sunshine city telephoned Keddie one after the other to heckle him about the weather. Similar calls were received by the chamber of commerce.
Snow last fell here January 7, 1937.
Phoenix also reported a light snowfall.
The storm, one of several over the west, covered most of Arizona. It was not heavy enough to slow train or bus travel, but the westbound American Airlines plane last night was grounded at El Paso. An eastbound plane went through on schedule.
Snow in Passes
The Southern Pacific reported three and a half inches of snow along its line over the Dragoon mountains, and a motorist who came from Safford said it was snowing all the way. Both slopes of the Santa Catalina mountains were covered, and the highway from Oracle Junction to within a few miles of Tucson was two or three inches under the snow.
The Tucson, Rincon, Santa Rita and other mountains visible from Tucson also were covered with a blanket of white.
Mountains around Florence were reported covered, although only a few flurries fell within the town. It was raining there last night.
Douglas Covered
The Associated Press reported from Douglas that a blinding snow storm set in at 7 p. m. Bisbee reported continued snow during the day in the Chiricahua mountains and far to the east.
In northern Arizona, more than a foot of snow lay on the ground at 8:30 p. m. Other snow depths ranged from one to two inches at Flagstaff to eight inches at Jacob Lake, near the Utah boundary.
A telegram to the Salt River Valley Water Users' association from Springerville said there were three and a half feet of snow in that district and at Sheep Springs, with the fall continuing. Sheep Springs, at an elevation of 9,000 feet, is the center of one of the best runoff areas for the Salt river tributaries.
A steady snow fell in Miami all day, the Associated Press report continued, but melted as fast as it touched the ground. Reports from nearby hilly areas said the fall was quite heavy.
In the northern part of the state it started snowing again at McNary where three inches were recorded Tuesday night to bring the total for the White mountain area to 17 inches, eight of which fell since Sunday. The McNary-Springerville road was under two feet of snow with a high wind drifting it badly.
District engineers and maintenance foremen throughout the north telegraphed the following reports to the state highway department:
Snow at Congress Junction and from Wickenburg to Wilhoit. Road open but slick.
Chains Needed
Roads in vicinity of Prescott slippery and dangerous. Motorists advised to use chains. Two inches of snow in Prescott. The temperatures dropped to 10 degrees above zero Tuesday night to register coldest night since last November.
Three inches of snow fell at Grand Canyon and one inch at Williams. Weather cloudy, roads passable.
One to two inches of snow at Flagstaff with storm continuing, but "everything O. K."
Snow over the entire Holbrook-Lupton highway. Icy surface from the state line eight miles west.
Snow at Taylor but traffic going through to McNary and Fort Apache.
Four inches at Winslow. Traffic moving slow.
Eight inches of snow at Jacob Lake but road reported "fine."
A heavy snow continues over highway 60, makes travel dangerous in spots; chains required for all cars.
The news that caused a chuckle came about perhaps because Floridians wanted to gloat a little. Lets face it, Tucsonans have been known to brag about the usually sunny weather here.
From the Star of the same date:
Somebody Is Going To Face Charge Of Treason to Tucson
There was treason afoot yesterday!
A man called up The Arizona Daily Star, inquiring as to how to set his camera to get a good snow-storm picture. Asked what kind of a camera he had, and learning it was a "Brownie" the man was advised to get a professional photographer—in fact we offered the services of our own J. Robert Burns.
After this advice had been gratefully accepted, it all came out of the bag!
The Miami (undoubtedly Florida) chamber of commerce had phoned our man, requesting a good Tucson snow storm picture immediately.
Just wait until Florida has another hurricane.
The Miami chamber might have had better luck phoning the newspaper in the first place. That wouldn't mean, however, that the Star photographers and editors wouldn't share a little snicker when the next hurricane hits Miami.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
This is generally caused by the clips breaking that attach the IMRC linkage rods to the runner shafts.I would check these clips first.If broken you will need to purchase them from a Ford dealer.With the rod disconnected from the runner shaft make sure the runners are not seized by rotating the shafts by hand.You can also check the IMRC operation by starting the engine and having someone perform brief wide open throttle acceleration while watching the actuator rods they should move back and forth briefly during the acceleration.The assembly is located on the front of the intake manifold (passenger side).See pic and let me know if you need further assistance.
Your welcome.
You can disconnect the battery for 30 minutes or so.If that does not work then disconnect BOTH cables from the battery and touch them together for a second or so,this will discharge the capacitors that keep the memory powered and will reset the computer.Your code reader does not have a clear code function? I would check that first.

Definition: Brioche
A type of sweet bread that originated in France. Its rich texture comes from a high proportion of eggs and butter, which gives it a taste that is somewhere between cake and more traditional bread. It's usually baked in a fluted pan with a smaller dough top knot placed on top, but it can take other shapes and forms.

A week after Tom Rogic moved from Central Coast Mariners to Scottish Premier League giants Celtic, another young A-League star is attracting attention from two European powerhouse clubs.
Melbourne Victory's Marco Rojas is being heavily scouted by English Premier League club Liverpool and Serie A club Juventus.
Both clubs will be watching the 21-year-old New Zealander play this weekend against Alessandro Del Piero's Sydney FC. The European clubs won't bid (the transfer window closes at the end of January) before they see Rojas in person.
Rojas is out of contract at the end of the current A-League season and the Mariners will be looking for a large figure if they are to part with their young star.
The Herald Sun reported last week that Rojas, who has kicked 10 goals from 15 A-League appearances this season, wouldn't be leaving the league this year.
Father Rodi Rojas said his son wouldn't be considering any overseas offers and was more focused on the Mariners' season. The older Rojas also mentioned an extension with the Mariners was also a possibility.
The A-League website is also reporting that Central Coast striker Bernie Ibini could also be headed to Europe.
The 20-year-old trialled last week with Club Brugge of Belgium. He scored two goals for the club's youth team.
Mariners coach Graham Arnold said a transfer figure had already been negotiated with the club and the Mariners were waiting for their decision.
"If Brugge like what they see, they can say 'Yes, we want him', the transfer amount will be activated and the kid will be off to Belgium dependent on his own personal terms," Arnold said.

Thanks mate! Glad you liked the show Appreciate the review.
Sounds awesome man Nice one mate.
No worries bro, hope you had a good time?
I don't think so mate, it was just an NXT Episode. When you're ready, let me know what you think.
I just posted an NXT episode mate! Have a look, see what you think.
Thanks again bro, I'll let you know when the next one is up
Awesome review buddy, really appreciate your thoughts and support.
Haha! Yeah a Reigns pop is rare and would only be seen in a BTB at the moment but at the same time- I'm behind in terms of the timeline so Reign's has not really been pushed and so in the back seat, alongside Ambrose, I think he would get cheers. Plus, I like him!
Glad you liked the IYH special show announcement, it was always one of favorites in the 90's. I know WWE did a MSG special on the Network and this will be similar, only more fancy and hopefully more entertaining we will see.
Yeah with people like Titus and a few others, I'm trying to do something different with them, see if I can create something new, give someone a chance. We will see.
As for the Brand Extension. Maybe. I have some plans going forward and I'm thinking about different options
Hey-Yo, Chico! Just posted my latest Raw episode if you are bored and want to check it out my bro.
Thanks for checking it out bro. I appreciate it man!
Cool bro, appreciate it.
Hey Maggs,
Just to let you know- I've just posted another show, this time it's an NXT episode that should have been posted before Night of Champions but because it's NXT- it's no problem. If you want to check it out dude, that would be awesome. I'll post Raw in the next couple of days, maybe.

Hugh Masekela
This may be some of the happiest music you've ever heard.
After reading the liner notes, you'll understand why. The Grammy-nominated "Jabulani" ("rejoice" in Zulu) by South African trumpeter and anti-apartheid activist Hugh Masekela is a collection of 11 South African wedding songs the 74-year-old composer and bandleader remembers from his youth. They celebrate domestic bliss, generosity, respect, affection, kindness, loyalty, love and regeneration while decrying violence, abuse, infidelity, jealousy and envy, among other things.
Sadly, these traditional tunes are now only heard in remote rural areas. As Masekela writes in the liner notes, "I pray that these kinds of wedding celebrations can come back into our lives."
But, if they don't, you can hear them anytime you like on this joyous album from one of world music's all-time great musicians.
Buy it: "Jabulani," Hugh Masekela, Listen2 Entertainment Group, Amazon.com, $14.99 CD, $10.99 CD
Hear it: 8 p.m. April 27, Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium, San Rafael, $25 to $40, wwwmarincenter.org
— Paul Liberatore
If you're a musician or band from Marin with an album or EP that readers can buy or download and want to be reviewed, send your CD and contact information, (if you have an upcoming gig, let us know that, too) to Press Play, 4000 Civic Center Drive, Suite 301, San Rafael, CA 94903.

Trinity Bank (TYBT) is a bank in Fort Worth, Texas, and it blows my mind. It is a real gem of a bank run by a real gem of a CEO. The bank is actually focused on customer service, maximizing efficiency and sound lending. Unlike just about every other bank that claims to do this, Trinity Bank actually does show evidence of this when you look at the results.
I would normally expect a small bank to have a generally higher efficiency ratio than a large bank due to economies of scale, but this is a dumb assumption on my part. Their efficiency ratio is at 45%, which isn't the lowest in the world, but is still low. They also aren't operating at full capacity either (revenue should pick up if the economy improves without much additional staffing) so a normalized efficiency ratio might turn out to be lower. The bank opened in 2001 with capital raised by Jeff Harp, the current CEO. After a few years of losing money as the bank ramped up, the bank has been steadily profitable and growing to this day. They haven't lost money on a loan in their history (a handful were nonperforming, but all balances were recovered) and achieved a ROA and ROE of 1.42% and 12.90% respectively in the most recent quarter. It trades at 1.7x book value, which isn't cheap, but it's not overpriced and the bank's quality indicates it deserves a premium to book. The numbers are excellent and seemingly for all the right reasons.
The bank is hopelessly illiquid, even by the standards of... anyone. The stock hasn't traded since June 21. Maybe it's a Munger moment where I could just invest and then sit on my ass, but then I'd have nothing to do. I wonder why anyone would sell their shares at this point. The reason for celebration though is that the CEO includes a letter to shareholders with each quarter's results written in the same vein as Buffett's. Everything is pretty straightforward and simple, which is too complex of a concept for many CEOs to execute. The letters focus mainly on the three key traits of an outstanding bank: efficiency, good loans, and working with customers.
There's nothing novel or profound about any of this, but the same could be said for Berkshire (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) letters. There is minimal non-banking commentary and I would characterize the banking commentary in the same way that Buffett comments on insurance. It's possibly too simple and doesn't equip you with the tools to go invest in banks (although this is not the point of the letters) but it puts you in the proper mindset. The CEO offers some macro commentary, but it's intentionally vague with healthy confessions of ignorance. Some choice quotes for the bank investor (the letters are all worth reading):
"It has been brought to our attention by our outside accounting firm that Trinity Bank cannot justify, based upon loss history (none) and the current level of problem loans, the amount of money we have set aside in our Allowance for Loan Losses. Therefore, you will notice that the bank did not make a provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2011. And we probably will not be able to add any more to the Loan Loss Reserve this year unless loans start to increase." (This is by far my favorite from an operational and irony standpoint.)
"The key is not to have zero problem loans. If that is the case, a bank is not taking any risk and is not serving its customers (and ultimately, will not prosper). The key is how much money do you get back when you make a mistake. We will make some mistakes, but we will protect the bank while working to help good people through bad times." (Pithy, but the essence of sound loan underwriting)
"All things considered, Trinity continues to perform well. However, our performance reminds me of the swimmer that won the Olympic gold medal in a very slow time – because everyone else drowned. To really meet our long-term investment objectives, we must increase the returns on your investment to the 15-20% level (Return on Equity). It is difficult to do that in a soft economic environment without taking on a lot of risk. We are trying to be patient and avoid the "vulture" tendency. The vulture tendency is an old joke about two emaciated vultures sitting on a tree limb. One of them says to the others, "Patience hell! I'm going to kill something". He was tired of waiting around for something to do so he could get a meal. He decided to make something happen."
"The down side to the increase in loan demand is that it is mostly from people buying assets at reduced prices. Believe me, we think these are good loans and we are finally able to obtain good equity and decent rates. But these loans typically are not putting people back to work. I would much rather be financing business expansion, i.e. new equipment purchases, working capital requirements from growth in sales, new buildings, hiring more people, etc." (Note this is not altruistic. The bank piggybacks on the growth of its customers, which is blindingly obvious but not the focus of many banks who instead try to pitch credit cards and HELOCs - see previous quote.)
"I wish I knew what to do. Obviously, I don't or I would be selling advice instead of trying to run a bank."
Anyone know of any other good bank shareholder letters? I know they exist, but most are usually just corporate garbage and thin. Yes yes, I know that MTB and JPM have good letters.

Mr Nobody to blame for rail
The country reviewed two matters this week that do not look or smell right.
The first was the World Cup opening and related events being over-sold, over-publicised and under-delivered on.
The biggest gripe was the failure of our train service bringing thousands of fans in from the West, East and Southern parts of the Super City.
We bought our railway back from the privatised pillaging of it, care of Fay, Richwhite. We spent just on $680 million buying it back and will spend the same again on bringing it up to scratch in terms of buying engines, carriages and rail upgrading. KiwiRail, as a consequence, owns all of the rail hardware.
In Auckland the rail system is overseen by a council subsidiary called the Auckland Transport Agency. It, in turn, has contracted a multi-national rail manager. The kicker is they are paid $180 million a year in taxpayer and ratepayer subsidies on top of what they charge for tickets and the management fee. This company is called Veolia. My son, like many westies, catches the train to school from Henderson to Grafton every day.
This train service is erratic. When it breaks down, parents from all over Auckland have to rush to uplift their children. Veolia never puts on back-up bus services. They are in breach of their contract on a monthly basis and some mug thought they could run a decent service on behalf of the fans.
As usual in big companies and in big local authorities, Mr Nobody is to blame. If it was a worker on one of these trains, they would have been dismissed at the drop of a hat.
I am on the Independent Maori Statutory Board for the City and in the process of requesting a range of information. The best thing for any dodgy dealing is to expose it to the disinfectant of daylight.
Second, we are told the police, by way of speed cameras, issued 200,000 more traffic tickets this year than in 2010.
Judith Collins and Steven Joyce, ministers in this Government, say it is not about revenue. With deep respect for these ministers, hiding behind bushes, sitting at the end of double-lane passing motorways and ambushing drivers is all about revenue gathering.
The best international evidence informs us that notices to drivers that speed cameras are in operation are a better deterrent than this type of ambush and entrapment. The reputation of the New Zealand Police force has been besmirched by politicians ensuring that police act like sneaky snakes.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has negotiated a contract to buy the acreage at the appraised value from private landowners. The land is owned by John and Taylor Cummings, whose father, Jack, grew up on the ranch and worked to help develop Garner State Park as a member of the Civilian Conservation Corps. His sons later inherited the property from their aunt, who originally acquired the property in the 1930s. Taylor Cummings retired to the ranch and still lives there. He will continue to live on the remaining 100-plus acres of the ranch. TPWD approached the Cummings brothers about buying the property because it abuts the state's recently acquired Old Baldy tract on the west and runs all the way to U. S. 83. When the sale of the Cummings tract is finalized, it will straighten out the southern boundary of Garner State Park and result in roughly 2,200 feet of highway frontage. The land is well-suited for primitive camping and hiking. When TPWD completes the pending land purchase, Garner State Park will encompass more than 1,600 acres. Half of the funds to acquire the Cummings ranchland come from monies allocated by the 81st Texas Legislature and 50 percent from a matching grant from the National Park Service's Land and Water Conservation Fund. Garner State Park ranks No. 1 among Texas state parks in overnight camping and records approximately 330,000 visits annually. It is open seven days a week. For camping fees and other park information, contact the park at (830) 232-6132. -30-
