Below are key drivers of BP's value that present opportunities for upside or downside to the current Trefis price estimate for BP:
For additional details, select a driver above or select a division from the interactive Trefis split for BP at the top of the page.
BP is one of the world's leading oil & gas companies with operations in more than 80 countries, providing customers with fuel for transportation, energy for heat and light, retail services and petrochemical products for everyday items.
As a global player, BP's operations and activities are held or operated through a variety of structures including subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates established which are subject to the legal systems of many different jurisdictions. The company's operations cover two main business segments: Exploration & Production (or Upstream) and Refining & Marketing (Downstream). BP also has some presence in the alternative energy space through its activities in biofuels, wind, solar, and hydrogen power and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Exploration and production is the most valuable division for the firm for the following reasons:
Over the past several years, BP has built several large production facilities and has discovered oil and gas at costs lower than those of its competitors in the space. The new developments account for nearly 50% of BP's upstream portfolio compared to 30% in 1999.
The upstream divisions of most oil companies tend to be more profitable as a result of lower costs of supply (exploration expenditure, production costs and depreciation). In 2009, BP's average costs of supply averaged around $16.66 per barrel.
Declining gross margins in recent years have drastically impacted the profitability of the refining business for most oil & gas companies. Gross refining margin is the single most important metric that determines how profitable a refinery is. Refining margins are largely driven by the demand for end products which is mainly dependent on the level of economic activity. Downstream margins declined from 2.8% in 2007 to 0.61% in 2012 as a result of weak product demand and excess spare capacity. Refining margins are largely cyclical and BP has an aggressive program to divest some of its downstream assets over the next few months to focus on high returns exploration business and meet potential liabilities from the gulf spill.
The costs associated with constructing new oil and gas upstream facilities have reached a new record high, according an analysis by Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA). According to the analysis, costs related to the extraction of oil & gas have doubled since 2005.
This has been primarily due to several reasons:
It is estimated that a large part of the world's oil reserves have already been discovered. Recent statistics have indicated that global consumption has been outpacing reserve additions. Peak oil is a commonly used term to describe the point at which world oil output will reach a maximum and decline afterward.
However, many institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) believe that peak oil will not occur for another 25 years at the very least. Many governments across the world are promoting alternative energy measures to ensure that the supply and demand of energy will be met at all times to come.
Due to limited underlying growth in product demand, there has been a focus in recent years on increasing the complexity of refineries rather than expanding capacity. In the U.S., no new refineries have been built since 1980. However, due to improvements in process design and technology capacity has increased at around 1% per year.
The early refineries that were established were mainly used to process light sweet crude resulting in an increase in demand for light sweet crudes. As a result of higher oil prices in recent years, heavy crude oil is becoming more economically attractive. There has been an increasing interest in the development of new cost effective methods for extracting and transporting heavy crude oil for refining into valuable light and middle distillate fuels.
On April 20th, 2010 an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil platform killing 11 workers and causing the largest marine oil spill in history. The first initial attempt to stop the leak occurred on May 7th in the form of a containment dome which was placed over the well. This proved to be unsuccessful along with the "top kill" maneuver that was attempted on May 26th to plug the leaking well. On July 12th, BP installed a cap to seal the oil well and prevent more leakage and on the 15th of the same month, BP announced that the tests had determined that the oil leak had been successfully sealed. It is estimated that nearly 4.9 million barrels of oil were spilled during this disaster and impacted nearly 75,000 square kilometers
BP and Transocean were named the responsible parties for the oil spill and named responsible for the clean up as well as compensating those parties who have been impacted by the spill. The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) established by the US government is responsible for the collection of federal costs that were incurred during the cleanup efforts under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and to compensate claims for oil removal costs and certain damages caused by oil pollution as authorized by the Oil Pollution Act.
BP has reached a $7 billion settlement with third party businesses and individuals and is reportedly pursuing talks with the U.S. federal authorities to settle charges against it for a total payment of around $15 billion.
In recent developments, BP has managed to reach a settlement with its equity partners including Anadarko Corp in the Macondo well. BP agreed to drop all claims against the partners in exchange for cash payments. BP also settled its case against Cameroon International which provided the blowout preventer for the Macondo well. BP's sub-contractors Halliburton and Transocean have also booked costs related to the spill.

It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences (Aristotle)
No, I am not talking about any of the three musketeers (i.e. Athos, Porthos) but about the new craze that has invaded both the business world and the public high schools, the last case for the English writing class in particular. We the teachers are trying to explain the secrets of persuasive essays to our teen audience. The private sector is hiring experts in Aristotelian rhetoric to learn how to convince their employees and customers of any new policies or products and the surprise findings is that pathos is more effective than logos. In the case of students the problem is to teach them the difference between the three areas and show them how to write a persuasive essay based on those three concepts.

The Photo of the Day comes from the Lowrider Facebook page for this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible.
Like most people that are into cars, I like the odd driving game on my PC. If I spent more time playing PC games, I would probably get into some sort of racing simulator to make it even more realistic. However, I don't think that I would ever consider the F1 simulator that is being released by Costco. The simple reason is that it is going to cost $140,000!! If I had that sort of money, I would be buying real cars and not a simulator. However, if you have recently won the lotto and want to splurge some money, this could be for you. This device is a full scale F1 replica and is made to order. Oh, and the good news is that the price includes delivery and installation. Get all the details at the Age.
Alright guys, you know the drill. Come up with a caption for the picture below by 12PM PST next Thursday, May 23rd. Whoever submits the funniest caption wins. Three entries per person max. Via Metro.co.uk

TI can't live on analog alone?
I am trying to imagine, when a group of fat investors meet, they might be some ...
TI tagged by weak demand
Dylan McGrath
TI's sales for the third quarter came in at the upper half of the company's targeted range, but fell well short of consensus analysts' expectations. The company forecast a sequential sales decline of around 13 percent for the fourth quarter.
"We expected revenue and demand to be weak, and they were," said Ron Slaymaker, TI's vice president of investor relations. "Similarly, our expectation is that this market weakness will carry forward into the fourth quarter as customers respond to the sluggish macro environment and to poor demand for their products."
[Get a 10% discount on ARM TechCon 2012 conference passes by using promo code EDIT. Click here to learn about the show and register.]
TI is the latest in a string of chip companies to blame weaker than expected sales on a difficult macroeconomic environment and weak end demand. Rivals including Intel Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Marvell Technology Group Ltd. have all reported sales below their initial quarterly targets as consumer demand for PCs and other products has declined in recent months amid a difficult economy.
"Our market has weakened, and we expect it will remain so in the fourth quarter as the overall world economy continues to be soft," said Kevin Marche, TI's chief financial officer.
Next: Below expectations
uh.. TI has the same issue as intel , picking a low IQ CEO, low IQ CEO could please many board members but don't expect him to pull out any serious tricks...
Templeton joined the company in 1980 after earning a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering from Union College in New York. He spent his operational career in the company's Semiconductor business, beginning in sales and eventually becoming president of the entire business.
He topped the list of Institutional Investor's Best Semiconductor CEOs in America for three consecutive years from 2007 through 2009.
*** same piece of .. as intel s malony, inventor of ultrabook, lol.
and investers love him, and enjoy it then...
I am trying to imagine, when a group of fat investors meet, they might be some 2nd generation with rich dad/mom who has passed away for a while. they just want to preserve the fortune they inherited by investing in sth like TI.
they would prefer a lower IQ salesman over uh.. maybe a radical sth....
and its fate sealed.

Very nice and quiet hotel with lots of personality. The garden with water, fishes and plants is very calm and pleasant. The rooms are huge and nicely decorated in typically thai spirit (zen spirit). The complimentary neck and back massage was highly appreciated as well as dinner directly on the beach. We emjoyed it a lot. It is not a hotel I would recommend for families with young children as no facilities are proposed for them but it is perfect for a quiet stay to enjoy the beach. I recomment it and would definitely go back again to this place.

Just perfect. Stayed in Muang four days with my wife in a poolside room, only yards aways from the actual pool itself looking onto the beach. Top quality staff, beautifully decorated hotel and rooms..they just make you feel like home.. One other good point for this hotel is that it is just far enough away from the animated area of Chaweng Beach to be Nice and quiet and yet it only takes a three minute walk to join the fun. Since we left on the 19 th we ve been to Koh Tao Cabana Resort, and we are actually at the Zara Samui...our favorite is the Muang Samui Spa Resort. I fully recommend it, and to go back as soin as possible..

The Garden vieuw rooms are big and beautiful, with big beds and whirlpool and big shower. Breakfast is very good with lots of different things. There is plenty to choose from. I think Muang Samui has one of the best beaches from Chaweng. More to the right is small and lot of big trees, and further to the left are some noicy bars with some lout music all day.

I apologize in advance for this, as it was written by an extremely old man.
The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2013 went down in Los Angeles on Saturday, and good Lord, I can't even begin to explain it. When I was a kid, the Kids Choice Awards were a very straight-forward thing … they'd give a blimp to whichever celebrities were nice enough to show up, they'd give a "best team" award or whatever to whoever won the Super Bowl that year (which automatically made them the most popular team with kids), Michael Jordan or Paula Abdul or whoever would show up to get a lifetime achievement award and somebody would get slimed. That's Nickelodeon's thing, and I get it. I mean, I've seen basically every episode of 'You Can't Do That On Television' (even the Alanis ones), so I know that when you say "water" you get a bunch of water dumped on you, and when you say "I don't know" you get slimed.
Now they give awards to themselves (best cartoon: SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! etc.) and slime EVERYBODY at ALL TIMES. Everything has slime coming out of it. The kids just go SCREEEEEEEEEEE the entire time, because they are reacting to stimulus response I guess, and there's no set up or build or honor to being slimed. This year they slimed Dwight Howard, so obviously there is no prestige left anymore.
I cannot break down this highlight video, but I'm going to try.

Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, or formerly known as Siam, is a country located at the centre of the Indochina peninsula and Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the north by Burma and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Burma. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast and Indonesia and India in the Andaman Sea to the southwest.
The country is a kingdom, with most recorded reigns in the world. It is a constitutional monarchy with King Rama IX, the ninth king of the House of Chakri, who has reigned since 1946, making him the world's longest-serving current head of state and the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history. The king is officially titled Head of State, the Head of the Armed Forces, an Upholder of the Buddhist religion, and the Defender of all Faiths.
Thailand is the world's 51st largest country in terms of total area (slightly smaller than Yemen and slightly larger than Spain), with a surface area of approximately 513,000 km2 (198,000 sq mi), and the 21st most-populous country, with approximately 64 million people. The largest city is Bangkok, the capital, which is also the country's center of political, commercial, industrial and cultural activities. About 75% of the population is ethnically Thai, 14% is of Chinese origin, and 3% is ethnically Malay;[8] the rest belong to minority groups including Mons, Khmers and various hill tribes. The country's official language is Thai. The primary religion is Buddhism, which is practiced by around 95% of all Thais.
Thailand experienced rapid economic growth between 1985 and 1995 and is a newly industrialized country with tourism, due to well-known tourist destinations such as Ayutthaya, Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai, and Ko Samui, and exports contributing significantly to the economy. There are approximately 2.2 million legal and illegal migrants in Thailand. Thailand has also attracted a number of expatriates from developed countries.

The latest Wrigley Talk Friday is easily in my Top 5 of all time, and I'm having a hard time thinking of any that I enjoyed more off the top of my head. Get out the earmuffs for the kids because Adam sounded like he was working from a Tarantino script as he voiced his displeasure in the Cubs and their reasonings for fighting with the Nationals last night. It's pure gold and I was merely along for the ride.

Friday is going to start off sunny and will be a good one for outdoor activities. However, by the late afternoon you will it breezy at times but it won't be overly strong by May standards.
Afternoon winds will be increasing over the weekend. This will also be a time of extreme fire danger so make sure you don't do any outdoor burning. The gusty winds will still be in place on Monday before lowering a bit toward the middle of the upcoming week. Have a great weekend.

OK silly thread title but you get the idea.
I am currently living in a house in suburban Sussex that I own jointly with my civil partner and our mortgage provider. However, I've been drawn to exploring alternative, sustainable living models for a few years and I would love to hear about how housing and lifestyle work for you? And in an ideal world - how it would work for you?
I have a pretty typical household set-up by today's standards: A semi-detached 3BR house with small garden and conservatory which is dependent upon the national grid for gas central heating and electric cooking. We will pay a mortgage for the rest of our working lives unless one of us inherits significant money - not looking likely . We are a lesbian couple and my partner's two school-aged kids live with us and our two cats.
After the children leave home (which I do hope will be at age 18...), and pretending for a moment that my partner would be totally aligned with this....I'd like to sell-up, live off-grid and probably in some form of eco co-op. I'd like to barter and take a shared approach to the labour required to cook, clean, mend, raise chickens, grow vegetables and fruit, bake, sew, knit and weave. Ah yes - the simple life. I love the idea of building my own straw bale / cob home. Is living off the land still feasible when you are old or become unable to work though?
What are your lifestyle realities and dreams? Oh - and what alternative communities exist in the UK - do any of you have practical knowledge of any of these?

Canastota farm first in Madison County to join plastic-to-fuel recycling program
CANASTOTA — ABC Farm took center stage Friday, becoming one of the first Madison County farms to champion the county landfill's agricultural plastic recycling program.
"I see this as a real benefit to our landfill and the environment in general," said owner/operator Rick Carrier of ABC Farm.
JBI in Niagara Falls converts the plastic into clean diesel fuels. An unnamed company in Auburn has started processing the materials into reusable, plywood substitutes.
"Our ultimate goal is to have a company like JBI set up a plant at the landfill," said Department of Solid Waste Director Jim Zecca. "Collecting ag plastic for recycling will help the environment, save space in our county landfill and also help to solve a long-standing problem for area farmers."
The board approved the contract with JBI on Nov. 27, and started the collection program Dec. 16.
In addition to recycling ag plastics, the program will also process some rigid plastics brought into the facility such as old toys and broken laundry baskets.
"When you recycle, we've learned that you have to have a variety of markets," Zecca said.
The Department of Solid Waste's goal is to set up a regional facility for ag plastic recycling at the Madison County Landfill.
According to the Cornell Cooperative Extension, of the 2,800 tons of ag plastic disposed of per year by dairy and beef farmers, only 80 tons comes from Madison County; a large chunk of the 630 tons of waste is produced annually by Central New York as a whole.
Previously, ag plastics were disposed of by burning, burying or dumping them at the landfill. Continued...
Rick Carrier's son, Rich Carrier, said dumpster loads of ag plastics used to cost around $100 per load, and needed to be unloaded up to four times a month. The voluntary recycling program is free and Rich said there is "no extra work, just running the plastics to the landfill rather than paying to have a dumpster pick it up. And it helps the environment. It's a beautiful thing."
Rich Carrier said this is just one of ABC Farm's many waste-conscious changes. In addition to the recycling program, ABC Farm started washing down cows before milking with reusable wash cloths instead of paper towels to limit their negative environmental impact.
Currently, the plastic recycled through the program can be dropped off at four separate locations: the county landfill in Lincoln Monday through Friday, as well as transfer stations located at Cranston Road in Hamilton on Wednesday and Saturday, Bolivar Road in Sullivan on Fridays and Saturdays, and Constine Bridge Road on Fridays and Saturdays. All of the stations are open from 7:10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Elizabeth Thomas: on Facebook privacy
By Todd Hatton
Studies have shown that the human brain, for all of its intelligence and reasoning, prefers efficiency. Or, as a psychology professor of mine once said, "The brain likes it easy." That could be why we only tend to scan, at best, things like website privacy policies. And when that involves the world's most ubiquitous social media site, that ignorance can be dangerous. To find out to improve that state of affairs, Todd Hatton spoke with Murray State University journalism professor Elizabeth Thomas. She teaches and blogs on the subject of social media.

Network Nodes and Gateways
The Frequentis VCX network node solution can provide all relevant ATM services within one solution. The system architecture is based on a highly available, highly redundant platform supporting both circuit-switched (TDM) and Packet-based (IP) technology is used for data transmission.
Benefits include:
- Increased network safety
- Seamless integration of existing infrastructure
- Significant operational cost reduction (based on efficient bandwidth management)
- Simplified maintenance activities due to central network management
- Smooth transition processes and minimised transition risk (step-by-step integration of existing and new equipment)
The VCX IP gateways provide VoIP interfaces for legacy radio and telephony equipment. These gateways are synonymous with a new era of operational voice communication in safety-critical systems.
Conventional VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) gateways mainly use PC-based solutions lacking either VoIP capabilities or failing to provide the required minimum latency, reliability and availability. The Frequentis VCX VoIP gateways combine the high reliability of embedded systems with advanced VoIP capabilities.
For radio and telephone communication, the Frequentis VCX-IP Gateways are already designed according to the specifications made by EUROCAE WG-67 (Voice over IP for Air Traffic Management). The gateways cover a broad spectrum of interfaces, such as MFC-R2, LB, digital and analogue radio communication, enabling a step-by-step and controlled migration to a safe IP-based network.
Both network node and IP gateway solutions are scalable to fit different needs: from remote radar sites through to huge international ATM facilities.
Frequentis iRIF is a modern, IP-based radio networking solution: an IP radio gateway combining high reliability with state-of-the-art VoIP capabilities. iRIF provides analogue and digital audio and control interfaces to connect with a rich variety of radio equipment.
The whole design of the iRIF solution is orientated to ensuring seamless, cost-effective and risk-free transition to IP-based radio communication, with the built in flexibility to account for future developments and standards.
It can already be offered with an ATS-MFC R2 to VoIP/SIP gateway option following the recommendations of EUROCAE WG-67 (Voice over IP for Air Traffic Management), and is designed with future interoperability and SESAR requirements in mind.
The network interfaces to the communication infrastructure via VoIP mechanisms specially designed for cost-effective, reliable and safety-enhancing ATM applications. Dedicated hardware for VoIP audio processing guarantees highest audio availability and quality, such as low delay audio processing, jitter adaptation and automatic delay compensation.

It was a very light agenda for the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting Tuesday night (the regularly scheduled Monday meeting was rescheduled because of Presidents' Day). Just the kind of agenda that can get bogged down in rambling discussions about small details and tangential subjects. Mayor Julie Van Domelen was not about to let that happen, as she continually brought the discussions back on point, and suggested that various discussions on side topics be brought back up at future meetings as agenda items.
Lyons Substation Supervisor Nick Goldberger got things rolling by reporting that things are still pretty quiet here in Lyons. He also presented, on behalf of Boulder County Sheriff

No one got married at the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting Monday night, but the Trustees and Staff did say good-bye to Lyons Substation Supervisor Sgt. Kevin Parker (the old) who in his last duty as Supervisor introduced the Board to his replacement, Sgt. Nick Goldberger (the new). Parker then made his exit, and Goldberger gave his first report to the Trustees. He reported that he had been on the new job for just under one day, and therefore didn't have much to report.
Under the hat of the Liquor Authority, it was then on to granting Town of Lyons a special event permit to host the next Chamber of Commerce social at the skating rink in Meadow Park. Since there is traditionally beer and wine served at these functions, and since it is being held in a Town park, the permit was needed. The measure was approved in short order with a 7 to 0 vote.

Projections indicate that this nation will need more builders and construction workers in coming years. The question is will we be able to fill those jobs?
The Cherokee County Career and Technology Center Construction Technology program is working to equip interested students with the skills they need for the future. According to Instructor Ricky Witt, the program at CCCTC is a two-year program, which offers students the option to complete a third year if they desire.
"We cover the basics of safety on construction jobs," said Witt. "Then after we get that covered, we go into the shop and we start covering a little more in depth on the building. And we are also covering masonry now with the NCCR curriculum."
"This can get students credentialed," said Witt. "They will have the opportunity all across the United States. It helps them get jobs with larger companies in commercial or even residential work."
According to Witt, his students are prepared to go right to work when they finish the program.
"They may still need a little more finishing as far as trim work, cabinet making, but they will be ready for entry level jobs in the construction field," said Witt.
"I have been told that the building industry is going to have a resurgence pretty soon because we have a pent up need," said Witt. "People are afraid of the economy, not knowing what it is going to do. We still have needs that need to be met, so those folks who have been putting off building, I think as the economy improves, there is going to be an even greater need for skilled workers. There is actually a deficiency. There are not enough skilled workers.
"With baby boomers, the years left in the construction business are pretty limited now," said Witt. "There's going to need to be somebody to replace them. Otherwise we will be left with a void of skilled workers. Hopefully we will continue to find students who are interested in building and teach them how to work in the construction field, whether it is carpentry, masonry, welding or any aspect of plumbing. We need workers in all those areas."
Currently, Witt feels good about the numbers in his classes.
"We have good numbers," said Witt. "They could be a little better and we are trying to improve those. A minimum of 12 per class is the state minimum. It averages out to what the state requires."
"We have more and more females interested in doing this type work and we welcome as many as we can get," said Witt. "I have had female supervisors on large construction jobs. It is not just a man's field anymore."
Witt said it doesn't take long for a student to determine if the construction field is right for him (or her) or not.
"A lot of them will decide in high school whether they want to take it or not but where the rubber meets the road is when they are on the job site where they are being paid and then they will know or their boss will know if they are suited for this pretty much, so it doesn't take long to figure that out," said Witt. "It takes a certain type of person who likes to work with their hands. They have to be able to visualize a project before the project is completed. A lot of people thrive on that sort of thing. They like to be able to build something and then stand back and enjoy the fruits of their labor."
"Pushing papers is right for some people but it is hard to see the results of that after it is done," said Witt. "You might build a person a house that will serve several generations and there's a certain sense of satisfaction out of that, The students who realize that a lot of times will make a lifelong pursuit of bettering their skills because they enjoy it. I tell students if they find something they enjoy doing, they will never have to work a day in their life because they enjoy getting up and going to work or whatever occupation they have decided. It id not drudgery, it is an enjoyment. That is how I look at it. I have always enjoyed doing it. It is hard work, but I don't mind hard work and when you can see what you have done, you get a lot of self-satisfaction out of it. That is what I tell students in the beginning. If you want to step back and see what you have done building is a good way to do it. It is not easy work but it is satisfying."
Witt estimated that his students have constructed around 150 storage buildings, which have been used in this community over the years.
"I think students have enjoyed doing this work," said Witt. "It is the closest thing to building a house we can get to. They are only here for a short time and if we went off somewhere to build a bigger project, it wouldn't be feasible."
"It is like in baseball, everyone can't bat at the same time," said Witt.
Witt displayed a CNC router, which is used in his program.
"They can import pictures off the Internet," said Witt. "Once you put all the information into the computer, it does that itself."
"A cabinet shop would use this sort of thing decorating their doors," said Witt. "They can also use it to cut out their rails too. When they economy picks back up, more will be used."
Witt and students extend their appreciation to a volunteer in the community who volunteered his time to come in a few days a week to shared with students on woodturning, making duck calls, bowls and other creations before their eyes.
"We want to teach those kids work ethic," said Witt. "Just that attitude of having the right work ethic will go with them through their career. Attitude is about 90 percent of everything. If you've got the right attitude, you can learn whatever you want to do."

Implementing Customer Portal CRM 2011.On Premise. WLID necessary?
Friday, April 20, 2012 2:33 PM
Hello People.
I´m implementing the Customer Portal for OnPremise CRM.
In the "Customer Portal Deployment Guide On Premises
v2.0", I have the following questions:"Says: 4.Register your application using a Windows Live ID (any WLID account that you would like to use to manage your Windows Live applications can be used). Registering your application allows Windows Live to authenticate with your web portal application. Go to https://live.azure.com. Click the Add an application link:"
Question 1:
I think I don´t need to do this step, because My CRM is OnPremise. Is that Correct??Objective: My clients log in Customer Portal through a "User" or "Password". I think have to redirect this "User" to a "MS CRM User Account".
Question 2:
I already have "Customer Portal" in CRM->Content Management->Website->Active WebSites. What is the Next Step?Thanks in advanced.

Q1: Currently the only authentication provided out of the box is using Windows Azure federation authentication. Deployment guide shows how to set it up to work with WLID, however you can use other providers within ACS setup. To use Active Directory authentication you need to write your own authentication provider.
Q2: If you are doing new deployment, you can try and specify the location of the old portal in WebSiteCopy tool and it will copy that website's contents into the new deployment. If you are upgrading existing one, then removing previous solution removes the website and it needs to be redeployed. If you don't uninstall and install on top of it, default website will be picked up and should work. Let us know if you are having issues, these are infrequent scenarios.
