Fracking: The good and the bad
Companies that use hydraulic fracturing to retrieve oil and gas from deep underground are changing the U.S. energy picture. Here's a graphic look at the technology and the risks.
Graphic by Ryan Jeffrey Smith for MSN Money
Stocks of companies that use fracking -- the popular term for hydraulic fracturing -- have been hot because the technique has resulted in huge gains in U.S. oil and gas production in just the last few years.
But just as hot has been the criticism. Many people see fracking as a threat to underground water supplies, as well as to rivers and streams and air quality above ground. Here's a graphic look at how it works, and the controversy.
Well if any of the people who have HBO, have seen GAS LAND a documentary on FRACKING and its end results.. Then they and you Know that when fracking takes place it has contaminated the drink water wells for those people. Who even though probably sold their rights were promised that their water would be tested before and after drilling.. Of course the wells went bad. So bad that it does catch on fire and /or turned brown and undrinkable.. So if you decide to let them drill on your land : 1) Make them check your water as well as you 2) check it at least once a week if not every other day. 3)make sure you get millions for letting them drill on your land or near you. only because if they don't contaminate your water you will be looking at the drill site and containers for the rest of your life. PLUS your ability to sell your home will greatly diminish..
And to any one in Wisconsin who decides to let them drill and my water is contaminated I will sue you and them.. So you had better get a lot of good money..
Fracking may provide jobs but the environment pays the cost. Plus all the MILLIONS of Gallons of water and chemicals used in fracking.. The chemicals are hazardous. In my eyes Its just not worth the risk of losing our future drinking water.. And last but not least the people who okayed this were people in GOVERNMENT who stood to get rich from making laws that got around EPA laws..
The fracking proponents are quick to point out the multiple layers of concrete and steel in the casings... What about the seal between the casing and the bedrock? As it was explained at a local "town hall" meeting in my area, they calculate the amount of concrete or grout that SHOULD be required to fill the voids between the casings and the bedrock. If the amount of material is substantially more or less, they know they have a problem. REALLY?! That's how we know if the seal is good? They didn't explain what they would do if the amount of material didn't match their calculations.
Anybody have a answer to this one?
there is no actual documented cases of enviromental damages from fracking. my friend lives in mount bellvieu tx., near baytown & houston and even some of the houses there have what the call flare sticks in their back yards to relieve gas pressure in the ground. they've had them for years. there is no fracking going on there. just underground salt mines used for oil storage & natural gas!

Nothing like a blowout in our favor to stave off the drama for a few seconds, eh?
Be honest. You know it was against the worst team in the league, but you're still glad it was a blowout. Because anything less would be an indicator that the recent problems plaguing the Hawks had not gotten any better, and may have gotten worse. So a moment's reprieve, and another win. Would it have felt better if it was a road win, rather than a home win? Maybe, maybe not. It wouldn't have mattered to the New Jersey Nets, who are losing no matter where they play. But it might matter to the Hawks. Or, maybe they are just glad to get back to playing the way they should and winning. Of course, the true test of mettle awaits, and it comes in the form of the Boston Celtics. But more on that later. For now, let's indulge in a diversion of sorts.
We've discussed (and will continue to do so) all the things that we see happening in games, and like the collection of broken records that we are, we keep posting them. Sometimes we manage an artful "theme and variations", but in the end it can get repetitive. Of course, such is our nature as fans.
Fellow Hawks fan Astro Joe offers another take on things and writes the following:
January 8th, 2010
10:13 pm
We need Bibby back in. I don't really care who goes to the bench, but the offense is haphazard right now.
January 8th, 2010
10:16 pm
The usual 4th quarter choke is rounding out nicely. I hope not, but it looks like we will lose again.
January 8th, 2010
10:17 pm
ISO-Joe out of the timeout. Brilliant, Woody.
January 8th, 2010
10:18 pm
I think there's a 5 year old in Uzbekistan that didn't see that coming.
January 8th, 2010
10:22 pm
No, I saw it too.
January 8th, 2010
10:26 pm
HORFORD with MAN's rebound!!
January 8th, 2010
10:28 pm
That was yard!!!!!
January 8th, 2010
10:29 pm
Our starting backcourt has 15 assists to 6 turnovers. For the team as a whole, it's 25 and 15. That's huge against a defensive team as good as Boston's.
January 8th, 2010
10:30 pm
Tell you what. ISO is ISO, but ISO Jamal is waaaaaaaayyyy faster than ISO JJ.
Jamal carries the torch this time around. I'm happy. Give me this win, and make it two over the Celts for the season. Yessir, I'll take it. No hate from me for anyone on this Hawks squad, coach and all.
And don't try cheapening it by mentioning Garnett's absence. We beat them in Boston, now we beat them at home.
Uhhhh…assuming the refs don't find a way to give it to them in the waning seconds, that is….
January 8th, 2010
10:33 pm
Big win! Hopefully this will give them a much-needed confidence for the rest of this tough month.
January 8th, 2010
10:37 pm
Too funny.
We beat the Celtics for the second time this season and the ESPN crew just can't take it.
My favorite is Byron Scott saying "Yeah, they won, but I'm just not convinced."
Hey Byron, didn't you just get fired from coaching? Didn't you have one of the game's best players? STFU.
January 8th, 2010
10:38 pm
Yep. Orlando awaits, and that is a different matchup altogether.
January 8th, 2010
10:40 pm
He also said "Let them beat them when they have KG."
Uh…Byron? They did. Less than 2 months ago. In Boston.
January 8th, 2010
10:48 pm
Tell it, Nire !
January 8th, 2010
10:52 pm
I guess I should give him a break, though. He probably didn't notice since he was about to get his azz fired at the time.
January 8th, 2010
10:53 pm
You know, JJ didn't shoot well, but on nights that he's going 5-16, I love it when he picks up 8 assists, like he did tonight.
It's the nights that he goes 5-16 and gets 2-4 assists that bother me.
But that wasn't tonight. He did the deal tonight.
January 8th, 2010
11:46 pm
Not to mention that he played outstanding defense on the other end, especially down the stretch. There's no stat that shows how many times JJ forced Shuttlesworth or The False into a bad shot.
The Hawks defense tonight was truly a sight to behold. They had a couple brain farts in the early second and late third quarters, but otherwise made the Celtics take tough shots on nearly every possession for the entire game.
January 9th, 2010
7:23 am
"Perkins is one of the toughest matchups for Al Horford. He's just quick enough to stay with him on some plays, but more importantly, he's got about 35-40 pounds on Al. Case in point? Al has played all first quarter and still doesn't have a rebound."
I support Jerry's Kids too!
The switching actually benefits Horford because he is unable to MAN-UP against centers who are on teams that play at a higher level. He is adequate against teams that use powerforwards as center while they search for a legitimate center. He puts up decent numbers against them but they also put up decent number against him.
Zaza is a much better defensive center than the pf horford and is a more physical defender. Zaza doesnt have Al's athleticism.
The switching defensed is design to compensate for the defensive liabilities , aka: Horford and Bibby. Horford is a weak defender and there is no excuse that will make him a better one.
Im glad Zaza got significant playing time during the stretch that determined whose game it was last night.
January 9th, 2010
7:59 am
Astro Joe, scoring 1 basket more a game is not a significant improvement. Sorry to disagree with you.
Non Mental, why do the Horford apologists try to associate Josh when trying to defend criticism of Horford? Josh doesn't need Al to defend his play, but Al certainly needs Josh, both figuratively and literally. (Figuratively in that you can't make a defense of Al without stealing from Josh's stellar play)
Josh is a man, and handles his business on any level of physical play against the very best at the power forward spot. He stands on his own merit.
Al is weak defender in the post and is only adequate as an offensive tool. He cannot create his own shot and must be setup and freed from his man with a clear path to the basket in order to score and often pad is marginal stats with garbage put backs from missed rebounds. No, Non Mental I don't hate Al, he's a nice fellow and a good power forward, but a less than decent center. We would be better served with a more physical presence at the 5.
What is blind and hateful is your ignorant suppositions that stats showing Atlanta is amongst the lowest teams for defending points in the paint is not reflective of the hawks being a jelly filled donut at the 5 spot and any one addressing that is hating.
Do the research fart breath. Facts don't hate, but your ignorance hates truth.
P, fccking S, If Rivers is a better coach than Woodson then why does Woodson always seem to get that AZZ with less talent when they face each other?………
Boston, Pleeeeeze, don't come to the cage without KG and expect to win. It May not happen with KG but it definitely aint happening without him!

Shyt Talking ,
Could you PLEASE stop posting with those kinds of names? I don't have an issue with your opinion (though I think the Boston Celtics would certainly disagree with it), but the names man…come on, now. It's not like people don't know who you are. Just like your friend Ken Strickland, you say the same stuff over and over, and about the same person. Just don't use that kind of name. I'm surprised the filter didn't catch it, to be honest, and I'm not the one who controls that thing.

didnt seem like sheed is a difference maker anymore based on his effort last night or did i miss something? i know he and doc argued for a long time on a call together trying to convince them there was a foul on rondo, but that was about it for his imprint on the game.

"I thought the Hawks were more physical than us, and they really attacked us, especially in the second half," he said. "Right now, you have to give it to them. They are the better team."
Even the celtics coach knows the hawks have what it takes, even down low in the paint. If al and josh are garbage guys then how does a top team like the celtics explain giving up sixteen points and ten rebounds to al, as well as fifteen points and eleven rebounds to josh? The explanation is simple, both guys are for real. When they bring it they are hard to stop. It does not matter if they are both forwards as long as they are beating the competition. Kendrick perkins is considered a real tough center but he gave up a lot to al horford and josh smith in the second half when they beat up on him in the third quarter. Those guys have what it takes as long as they bring it. That is the only explanation for having beaten the top team in the east twice already.

Woody has not realized yet that the switching defense does not work against teams that shoot well from 3pt land.
We lost in the pre-season against ORL and twice already in the REG with them shooting lights out from 3pt land.
The same happened in our loss against CHA with Bell, against the Knicks (twice) with various players shooting well from 3pt land (Galinari, Harrington and Nate in particular), against DEN with JR Smith also shooting the lights out.
This was visible with both the first team and the subs in garbage time.
The switching defense also works really bad against quick/explosive point guards.
An interesting stat is that JTO had the best +- stat of the team.

Practical and easy check in
Plastic cutlery at breakfast, limited / no wifi although marketed as such
useless wifi
The room was spacious and clean, the beds comfortable. The pool was lovely and an included breakfast allowed us to get up and away quickly to start our day. Don't be put off by the fact that it is located on the fringe of Page itself, everything that you could want was no more than a short drive away.
Nothing at all
in stadje is niks te zien
Location was very good
Confort and quiet
Staff not really enthousiastic
Pool Breakfast Cleanliness
Location close to Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell Swimming pool Breakfast Room
Friendly personelle.
Breakfast was not good. They did not clean our room on the first day.
laundry room available - we were able to store our luggage while on our tour of Antelope Canyon
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us valuable tips for visiting antelope canyon with our kids, the main purpose of our visit. The hotel is new and the location is good on the edge of town close to the horseshoe bend in the river.
Breakfast was a bit overcrowded and chaotic.
brilliant location great staff
Ant infestation in the room
Nice place, Great location! the staff was very nice and helpful!!
No elevator and crowded breakfast room
Breakfast area had enough tables for all guests, Walmart is over the street
No shadow at pool
Good location 4rth july fireworks. Big rooms Non smoking hotel
Very nice and comfortable hotel. Lots of laundry machines. Nice breakfast
A bit expensive
It was clean and comfortable and the swimming pool vwas very welcome to use.
Lobby areas appeared to be in the middle of a refit. Like every other hotel in Page it was completely over priced. If ever in the area again I shall avoid stopping off (and getting ripped off) in this town
Great location, Nice rooms
Breakfast wasn't great
Our room was a bit noisy but was beside the stairway. The pool could use more frequent cleaning. There was debris from the surrounding plants blown into the water.
Very nice staff who accommodated our room location request and gave us restaurant recommendations. Good breakfast with cheese omlettes, sausages and make-your-own Belgian waffles. Clean, modern room.
Pool was much smaller than depicted in online photos, where it took up half the picture. Was actually about 10'x25' in size. Located too far from town to walk to restaurants.
Staff was helpful and cheerful!
The bathroom is too dinky! Too little space for toiletries. Hard boiled eggs would be another egg option that many would appreciate.
Very clean, comfortable and spacious room, location was convenient for exploring this part of the country. Good value for money.
Breakfast wasn't great
- Renovated, nice building - Very spacious rooms - Comfortable beds - Pool
- Moderate breakfast; limited choice; - Limited hours of breakfast (6h30 till only 9 AM)
way too expensive....the breakfast was terrible..you needed to ask for everything:bagels,cream cheese...and they didn't have enough anyway...
Hotel was undergoing renovations while I was there so there was no front lobby. Rooms were very new. They looked really nice for the Days Inn I was used to expecting. Beds were very comfortable.
Need to improve the hallways. Maybe they will get to it as part of the renovations. Hallways look bland like something out of a 1970s conference center.

I want to add forearm assistance work to the Practical Programming Advanced Novice program for hypertrophy.
I have really skinny forearms and they seem to be holding me back on all the big lifts. Also the big lifts(deads etc) have not done much to enhance their growth.
I was thinking of doing 1 set of rack pulls for 8 reps alternated with the deadlift as this will not be as draining on the system and adding assistance on the non deadlift days.
So the program would look like this:
Squats - 3x5
Bench/Press - 3x5
Chins 3 sets to failure
Hammer Curls - 3 sets x 4-8 reps
Reverse Curls - 3 x 10-15
Front Squats - 3x5
Bench/Press - 3x5
Rack Pulls 1x8(alternated with deadlift1x5)
Squats - 3x5
Bench/Press - 3x5
Pullups 3 sets to failure
Hammer Curls - 3 sets x 4-8 reps
Reverse Curls - 3 x 10-15
Please make suggestions;will this be too much volume, more rack pulls, other exercises, sets and rep schemes??
It it better to do exercises with static holds rather than curls?
Should I get farmers walks in somewhere?
Its been said so many times to not **** with the program as regards starting strength and practical programming but if you have an obvious weakness it needs to be addressed, right? Advice welcomed.

Tom Hiddleston meets Queen Elizabeth . . . some other people were there, too
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II meets actor Michael Sheen as she visits the Royal Academy of Arts in central London on May 23, 2012. (The very tall man in the middle is actor Tom Hiddleston, but no one told the photographer, evidently. Since he is so tall, I guess it was not possible to get the top of his head and the queen's hand into the same horizontal photo. Michael Sheen and Tom Hiddleston worked together in Woody Allen's movie Midnight in Paris. Hiddleston went to Eton with the queen's grandson Prince William. Hiddleston plays the evil, yet very popular, Loki in the movie The Avengers, which is in cinemas now.) (CARL COURT/AFP/GettyImages)

Greetings from unseasonably warm Indianapolis!Being in this central Indiana January of almost record setting highs and frigid lows brings on the reflection of different extremes in our own lives. Often Jen and I feel caught between two worlds: the world where we are preparing for full time career service in Mongolia and getting excited about our ministry there, and the reality of the world of our daily lives with full time jobs and local ministries.Perhaps you feel the same way about life. On one hand we have goals and aspirations in many aspects of our lives: careers, spirituality, relationships, etc. Then we have the reality of dealing with our every day existence and all the hardships, minor annoyances, successes, and status quos that come with it. Let us praise the Lord that He is always with us encouraging us to live for Him in every aspect of our existence! I was blessed by a nice reminder of contentment in the Lord that a friend sent my way recently in this Desert Fathers quote:"One day, while St. Anthony was sitting with a certain Abba, a virgin came up and said to the Elder: 'Abba, I fast six days of the week and I repeat by heart portions of the Old and New Testament daily.' To which the Elder replied: 'Does poverty mean the same to you as abundance?' 'No', she answered. 'Or dishonor the same as praise?' 'No, Abba.' 'Are your enemies the same for you as your friends?' 'No', she replied. At that the wise Elder said to her: 'Go, get to work, you have accomplished nothing.' " - St. Peter of DamascusSo where are Jen and I on this journey? Still a long way off from realizing true rest, peace, and contentment in Him no doubt. But seeking to rely on God's promises and the blessings we have right now through the amazing encouragement of His Body: both His people and the participation in the Sacraments. What an encouragement it has been for us to feel your prayers and to have people who are really advocating on our behalf. Often they come in surprising ways! Please continue to pray for us that we may have hearts and minds ready to serve and give all that we have as we seek to discern this path that the Lord has us on.In Mongolia, temperatures have been milder than our recollection of last year as well. I was happy to see this morning that it was only -8 degrees there instead of a -20 or -30 that I was expecting. Speaking of cold in Mongolia: the Orthodox Church there, Holy Trinity, celebrated Theophany at the building then traveled out to a local water source for the blessing and several dared to take a dip, including one of our OCMC missionaries Fr. Job! You can see the pictures on our facebook page even if you're not on facebook: www.facebook.com/chrisjenmooremongolia.Several people have shared with us a recent article in National Geographic about shamanism on the rise in Mongolia and Siberia. As we've shared before, almost 40% of the Mongolian population claims no religious affiliation. With a spiritual vacuum that large, something is going to try and fill it. We pray that Christ would prevail in peoples' hearts instead of the movements of the evil one - but the message has to be preached (Rom 10:14). You can read the article here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/12/shamans/stern-text
Please remember specifically in prayer:-Dealing with the busyness of life and being faithful-Having hearts and minds ready to serve and give-Being able to speak into our neighbors' lives as they are going through difficult issues.-That our mouths may be filled with His praise and be meditating on God's righteousness
May you be filled with the peace of Christ,Chris & Jen Moore

Anheuser Busch Accepts Inbev Bid
Written by Drew Petzold
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Anheuser Busch has accepted a bid from Inbev to make them the largest brewer in the world. The new name of the company is going to be Anheuser-Busch Inbev.Tweet
This will now raise additional questions regarding the Anheuser Busch theme parks. We will have to wait and see what impact, if any, this merger will have on the future of their theme parks.
You can read more details about the takeover here.
Readers' Opinions
From Eric Malone on July 13, 2008 at 11:44 PM
Hopefully, nothing happens to the theme parks..
From Scott Seal on July 14, 2008 at 4:12 AM
Is Inbev an American comapny? AB has prided itself for years on it's all American image..the signage and message around the parks is that they're the only American company left. I wonder if this changes that...

No, it is not. Inbev is a Belgian company. The headline in the St. Louis newspaper this morning was "Farewell to the King". It seems a fitting title. Inbev is a brewer that has been around since 1266.
I think I am more concerned about what they might do with the theme parks.
From Jeff M on July 14, 2008 at 6:12 AM
My local paper in NC also had reported this and in some detail. I found that Wall Street Journal had the best coverage so far. Check it out if interested.
Still no word on theme parks and entertainment reported, and seems like not much will be released until settlement moves forward through the next few months.
My interest is with Inbev's statement on keeping AB corperate operations in St. Louis. No word on theme parks operations, and I believe they were moved to Orlando, FL. from last I heard. Does this lead to any clues toward separation of brewery and entertainment?
From Drew Petzold on July 14, 2008 at 6:27 AM
Listening to the radio this morning, if the merger is approved by the shareholders and government regulators, the word is starting to come out that they may split the brewery and theme parks. They were also saying that they may sell the theme parks. This will be something to follow for sure. I think we have more coverage here given the fact that Busch Gardens Europe is nearby.
From Ben James on July 14, 2008 at 6:51 AM
In-Bev already stated that they would sell off the parks to finance the merger. And, I can't see that changing, considering that they upped the buy-out bid. The one thing that bugs me, is that A-B wasn't up for sale to begin with. And, I don't agree with an American company just selling themselves. A-B was a world leader in more ways than just beer. I hope that nothing changes here in St. Louis.
From Iris Hernandez on July 14, 2008 at 7:16 AM
Thats bull...and i thought today was going to be a good day. This is infuriating to me. Anheuser Busch has been putting out new TV ads stating how much an American company owned it is and how proud they were of it and they turned around and did this? I'm so mad i'm practically speechless. I expect the parks to take a turn for the worst, but i pray that i'm wrong.
From Raul Araoz on July 14, 2008 at 7:31 AM
If Inbev sells the parks, I hope Universal can find the cash to buy them. Except for the Virginia park, Disney won't be interested. Universal and Busch already have a sort of union with the Flexticket. If Universal owned the Busch parks, it would be some serious competition for Disney. Plus, Universal is the only company I trust with keeping the quality of the Busch parks.
From Justin Trinh on July 14, 2008 at 7:47 AM
I am sad to see this happen as well but I can't see how anyone can put the blame on Anheuser Busch. If anyone has taken any type of Business Finance course, one of the first thing you learn is that the board of directors of any company that is publicly traded job is to "increase shareholders wealth."
As sad as I am to see Anheuser Busch not being American owned anymore, they did what they were suppose to do, increase shareholders wealth. With a $70 per share offer in cash to all shareholders, as much as I want, I can't see the shareholders rejecting the offer.
Oh and not much information about the theme parks but a article did mention this:
"There was no detail in the InBev release about the theme park operations which include Tampa's Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, and Sea World in Orlando."
And went on to say this:
"To finance the deal, some analysts have speculated A-B's theme parks, including Busch Gardens in Tampa, could be on the sale block. Kris Kippers, an analyst at Belgian brokerage Petercam SA, said InBev could receive about $2.9 billion if it sold Busch Entertainment Corp., the theme park division."
From Michael Barkdoll on July 14, 2008 at 10:37 AM
It's really sad to see this happen. I so worried about the parks and whoever owns keeping with the great quality that I have always loved. This really blows
From Brian Emery on July 14, 2008 at 10:52 AM
This blows, period….
There is absolutely no reason for this. AB was making plenty of money and was "All American". Friend of the US military and one of our best Icons…
Just like everything else in the US – Sold to a foreign company…. The Chrysler building was just sold to Dubai. What's next American Airlines being sold to Canada?
I just hope for the best when it comes to the Parks…
From Robert Niles on July 14, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Actually, U.S.-based airlines cannot be foreign-owned, by federal law. That's why Richard Branson couldn't own Virgin America, when that airline launched. And non-U.S. airlines routes to/from the United States are highly restricted.
Personally, if the BEC parks aren't going to be run by the A-B board anymore -- and with InBev now in charge, they won't -- what's the point of keeping them in the fold? The key is keeping the current management team in place, along with the existing revenue expectations.
Ideally, they could move into another company that would be better prepared to protect those goals than InBev would. The question is, does that option exist? If not, I hope that InBev would be in financial position to give holding on to the parks a try.
From Drew Petzold on July 14, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Just like everyone else, I don't like the fact this is happening either. However, at the same time, I am not surprised it is happening either. Inbev has been trying for a while to merge with AB. Given the options they had, it was probably a good time to do it. Had they not taken the offer, Inbev would have gone the route of making it a hostile takeover, where they would buy up enough stock to be able to gain ownership. The Busch family only had about 20-25% of the stock in the company. It would not be enough for them to be able to retain it, unless they would be able to pay more to puchase up the additional stocks. The other dilemma they had too is that their second largest shareholder, Warren Buffet, also signaled that the merger would be a good idea, which I disagree with.
I sure hope that the theme parks don't go downhill if they are sold. BEC has done an excellent job over the years with all of their parks. I'd hate to see it go into the wrong hands.
From LJ Warner on July 14, 2008 at 11:24 AM
In Bev wants to be the largest Beverage company in the world,period. So by taking over #3 company they solidify their position at the top for a long time even if they lose money on the deal. That's why they are willing to bid $70 a share and as it was pointed out the board of directors of any publicly traded company is there to make money for the share holders. I'd vote no on approving the sale but will take a lot of like minded Americans to keep A-B an American company. Looks like I'm going to have to find another beer to make beer-can chicken (Bud has been the best one to use IMHO.
From W McCarthy on July 14, 2008 at 11:25 AM
The Chrysler building was bought by a sovereign fund in Abu Dhabi, not Dubai. It was a 90% stake but they do not have controlling interest. Furthermore they do not own the land underneath the building, which is what really matters.
AB being bought out is capitalism, pure and simple. This is what happens when your country's currency is barely worth the paper it's printed on. If you don't like AB being bought out, then vote for the Socialist Party or some other anti-capitalist party.
An upside to AB being bought out is that their main brand beers may actually taste better with some European input.
Rumor is that Merlin Entertainment (Legoland, Toussaud's) may be interested in buying the parks. That may be a good thing.
From TH Creative on July 14, 2008 at 2:31 PM
When I heard the news I thought about Disney. How the company has only been owned by a single corporate entity through its entire history. It's one of those qualitative aspects that makes it stand head and shoulders above other park operators.
I remember when Comcast made its RIDICULOUS attempt to take-over Disney. At a meeting with business media at the Disney's shareholders a Disney shareholders conference, CEO Michael Eisner was asked about the take-over attempt. His response (paraphrased) "Mergers and aquisitions? Oh yeah. We're thinking of taking over Comcast."
From Gareth H on July 14, 2008 at 2:59 PM
Big BillBoard poster on the corner of SandLake and International Drive here in Orlando, noticed it today.
BUDWEISER, the American Beer..
Their portfolio would then be amazing, and even if they just owned Busch Gardens Africa, SeaWorld, Discovery Cove and Aquatica, it would be a major boost in the fight of control over O-Town.
Disney has 4 parks, 2 water parks and DTD, Universal could realistically have 2 waterparks and 4 theme parks, plsu Discovery Cove.
Wouldn't be the worst option in the world, as long as they maintain the current Management and don't try and change too much.
Can't see the hospitality buildings lasting in any Seaworld or Busch parks whichever route or owner shows Interest. I highly doubt InBev will leave that as an option!
Fingers crossed for a bright future for all AB parks!
From Derek Potter on July 14, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Not good news for the parks. I seriously doubt that Inbev will keep them. It's foolish to cut something that is a profitable business, however corporations can be quite foolish, and this one will probably be getting out the chainsaw to cut costs.
There is one thing that may keep the AB parks as they are...
Who's gonna buy them?
Disney? You're dreaming people
Universal? You're still dreaming
Cedar Fair? Probably would consider if they weren't saddled with the Paramount Debt, but not really in a financial position to buy. They won't bite...unless they want to be the next Six Flags.
Six Flags?- HA!
Aside from another corporation getting into the business, which in today's economy is unlikely, that leaves one.
Anybody here ever heard of PARC?
They are the company that scooped up most of the smaller Six Flags parks that were sold a couple years back, as well as some smaller amusement ventures around the country (water parks...etc). What I don't know is how much financial clout they have. While I don't think this would be feasible for them moneywise, an acquisition like this is enough to send them straight to major player status.
Still, given the position of the companies capable of the money, the AB parks may remain in the hands of the company by default, and I hope that InBev knows that keeping a profitable, highly successful division of the company is a good thing.
From W McCarthy on July 14, 2008 at 6:13 PM
As I stated upthread the most likely buyer is Merlin, which is the second biggest theme park operator in the world with only one park in the US (Legoland). If they have the capital, then I see them as likely to buy the parks.
No way Inbev is going to keep the parks; they'll need to sell them to pay for this big acquisition. The fact that the parks are profitable is even more of a reason to sell them as they'll fetch a higher price. Profitable businesses sell for more money than unprofitable ones.
If anyone ever believes patriotic marketing like AB did, then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them. It's capitalism folks, it's always all about the money.
From Jason Jackson on July 14, 2008 at 6:28 PM
Well think about this, the Dubai company, Nakeel could possbily purchase the entertainment division. They have so much invested in them right now...they are paying big bucks to AB to license the names and use management to run the new parks in Dubai. Anyone hasn't seen this coming...they moved BEC corporate to Orlando, they rebranded from Anheuser-Busch Adventure Parks to Worlds of Discovery...hmmmmm Makes you wonder.
From David Kirby on July 14, 2008 at 9:21 PM
It's really sad that this happened but you can't blame Busch. When AB rejected the original offer of $65 a share, they had plans to drastically cut expenses in order to appease the shareholders. With a new bid of $70 per share, there was no way they would be able to cut expenses or boost profits enough to counteract giving up that high offer price. It truly is sad especially since the company is still family run. The current CEO was the great-great-grandson of the founder.
From Larry Zimmerman on July 16, 2008 at 6:34 PM
It's just another buck to be made in the stock market trade... When customers are seen as "revenue units," and loyal employees relegated to "headcount," then values like patriotism and national pride just don't matter.
Shareholder value is maximized by selling the company out from under the stockholders. The dollar, near all-time lows, makes $70 a share worth 43.75 Euros. Blame someone...
Inbev will take AB apart, barrel by barrel, just to remove the competition. So-called "Promises" to keep breweries open are just like the "forward looking statements" disclaimer says -- pure pablum to placate stockholder consciences, and subject to being ignored at Inbev's convenience.
I can hear Belgians snickering all the way to the bank...

The Page That Doesn't Need His Notes

Judging Drogba on one start would be ridiculous and Pellegrini's battle against the stats...
All Articles
Magic Moments
After describing a 3-0 home win over a very average Olympiakos side as 'one of the great evenings in their rich European history' and 'one of the magical nights in United's European history', Mediawatch suspected that Oliver Holt would get a tad carried away in the Daily Mirror after United contrived to draw at home to Bayern Munich.
And so it came to pass...
'There were moments when what happened at Old Trafford last night threatened to stun the football world.
(Of course there were more 'moments' - Holt never has one or two 'moments' when he could have three or four).
'There were moments when it felt as if it was Manchester United v Bayern Munich in the Nou Camp all over again.'
Erm, sorry, what? Unless Holt is referring to United being comprehensively outplayed by Bayern Munich in both those matches, Mediawatch cannot see too many similarities. In 1999 the English double winners were 1-0 down going into the final minutes of a Champions League final; in 2014 seventh-placed United were 1-0 up after 58 minutes in the home leg of a Champions League quarter-final. Two totally different scenarios that happened to feature the same two teams.
And it really wouldn't have 'stunned the football world' if United had held on to their 1-0 lead at home to the European champions for more than nine minutes. Not unless the football world is really very easily stunned.
Holt, Holt, Holt
Astonishingly, Holt actually cites four 'moments' in his Manchester United piece - a massive departure from his usual unstinting dedication to the 'Rule of Three'.
But fear not, he has not abandoned his winning formula; in his Jose Mourinho column today there are three things 'it is said' about the English press and their relationship with the Chelsea boss and there are three things Holt 'dislikes' about Mourinho.
Phew. All is as it should be.
When Will I See You Again?
'It could be the last time we see Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic together,' says The Sun. Presumably because it went so badly against Bayern.
Damning With Faint Praise
From The Times' verdict on Phil Jones: 'If his game intelligence and positional play matched his effort, he would be almost the complete defender.'
So he's only lacking the basic skills of a defender? So, so close.
Surprise Surprise
'It was once again baffling to see Giggs in the starting line-up, of course,' writes Ian Ladyman in the Daily Mail.
Ladyman would have been a whole lot less baffled if he had checked out his own newspaper on Tuesday - they had Giggs in their predicted starting line-up.
When Sunderland banned The Sun - ridiculously for getting a predicted starting line-up bang on the nose - they vowed to get their revenge in two very different ways...
a) By pathetically referring to them only as Derland. They've taken the Sun out of Sunderland, you see. This revenge was presumably the brainchild of an eight-year-old boy and his giggling friends.
b) By setting 'investigator' Dan King on the case to expose any dodgy financial dealings. F*** you, Derland.
The latter results in an 'INVESTIGATION' that has revealed that 'DERLAND have signed away the rest of their Premier League income for this season to their bankers'.
Sounds pretty shocking, right? And more than a tad dodgy.
Unless, of course, you read on all the way to the ninth paragraph, where Dan King admits: 'Derland are far from alone in using deeds of assignment, which are completely legal, to pledge future income to lenders. They reached a similar agreement with Barclays in November 2012 and other clubs, such as Everton, have even signed away their money for NEXT season.'
Mediawatch must have missed the 'Dan King INVESTIGATION' into Everton.
Old Pals Act
The Sun have previously claimed Rob Beasley is 'the man who knows Jose best' and it certainly seems that way as he claims an exclusive on Mourinho's in-depth version of a bust-up with Zlatan when he was manager of Inter Milan.
The Daily Star's David Woods obviously falls far short of Beasley in Mourinho's eyes but he has claimed an exclusive of his own - a 'pal' of Mourinho's telling exactly the same story.
Mediawatch is prepared to go out on a limb here: That 'pal' is Beasley, isn't it?
Bloody Hell
Headline in The Sun: 'KOLAROV: MY MANC HELL.'
Actual quotes from Aleksandar Kolarov: "I was thinking about a move because I didn't play a lot. But I didn't want to go."
Mediawatch has a story about its own Manc Hell; it doesn't involve earning tens of thousands of pounds a week and only being on the bench of the Premier League champions; it involves vodka, bananas and a man named Michael.
Headline Of The Day'
YOU DIRTY SCHWEIN' - The Daily Mirror.
Worst Headline Of The Day
'United provide joys for Moyes' - The Times. Ouch.
Non-Football Story Of The Day
'A MAN who was told to sacrifice parts of his body to become rich willingly let a vicious hyena EAT his penis and his toes. Chamangeni Zulu was mauled by the animal while he was out in the African bush, but he actively sought out the attack after some "advice" from a witch doctor. Zulu, who is aged between 20 and 24, claims he was told that losing parts of the body would result in untold riches.
'He told the Times of Zambia: "I came from Malawi and when I arrived in Chipata I met some business persons who told me that the best way to become rich was to sacrifice parts of my body. I went to a bush where I was instructed to be naked and a hyena came to me and started eating my toes and eventually my manhood was eaten."
'After the attack took place, Zulu managed to crawl to a road where he was spotted by passing police officers who rushed him to Chipata General Hospital. The incident took place last month and Zulu confirmed he had lost three toes as well as his genitals. He currently remains not rich' - The Daily Star.

Contemplating Reiko
Reiko is a perfectly normal red-eyed, pointy-eared, sadistic little demon girl.
I had originally posted this game during the fall of 2000, but it was never submitted via the Portal. I want to submit it this way so that it is easier for users to find in association with my user account.
This game was inspired by the Republican National Convention, which came to Philly in 2000. We saw the police beat up on a lot of relatively peaceful protestors during that time, so this game is basically a mockery of the whole mess.
I was playing around with my digital camera a lot at the time, so you'll see all my friends in here. The game was featured in Philly's "City Paper", whos staff appreciated my use of their newspaper dispenser along the sidewalk. :)
Fun power-up items include a machine gun and bombs (which can even blow up the cars!).

The game was interestingly put together, and although at points choppy, the real animation put into this game was a good choice and not very seen in traditional flash games. The game itself was very funny, especially the intro - but the game also has a point which you will see by reading the introduction. Overall, a good way to waste time and have a little fun.
dude, this is almost as good as your best game, crazy shuttle. you rock man
What were you thinking?
Not very much action, pretty lame, no point, no fun, and needs better graphics. Try, try again. PLEASE.

Move your body when the Sunlight dies.4 Reviews
Ray's POV
Its set up, Ghoully will be able to see anything I do now. I had a series of camera's mounted through out my room. Centered on the lovely creature lying on my bed, black sheets, rubber guard underneath. I'm sure you'll see why soon enough.
I had my exquisite boy thing cuffed to the bed, when I first started I put straps on em' but I like them with just enough flail to be fun. Like poking a caged animal with a stick. It can't hurt you, nor can it get away from the stick. I grazed my eyes over the little thing. Becoming extremely aware of every single tooth in my mouth. They ached and lusted for skin. I slid my tongue over my canines. An obnoxious beep sounded from my computer. Causing me to cease my shameless hungry leering at my ivy colored prize. Secretly I had hoped that Ghoully would when our little bet. Well of course I didn't want him to get tripped up on guilt... but, also, I, wanted him to see me. I wanted to be real to him. I wanted him to see me do the things I kept hidden, smothered underneath my cheery demeanor. I wanted an audience. I wanted someone to see what I could do. To know the real me. Not Ray the nice guy, but SCARECROW. The computer chirped again.
xFun-Ghoulx: You set up?
xFun-Ghoulx: OMFG Crow I just realized something!
S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W; Chickening out?
xFun-Ghoulx: Pshhh no, I just realized that fun goul rhymes with GUN FOOL!!!!!
xFun-Ghoulx: I wish I had a gun now...
S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W; You don't already?
xFun-Ghoulx: No, I don't like long distance non-intimate killing. There is something pretty damn sexy about a guy with a gun though...
xFun-Ghoulx: No.
Don't you have a hostage to tend to.
S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W; I don't think its called a hostage when no one knows he's gone. He's like … A kidnapee.
S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W; More like a...guest
Okay, laying down the law now bud. Once I start I'm not stopping. Its part of my ritual. Also I made sure both ends of this video feed a extremely secure. So you do the same. Also, no recording. Ready?
There's a minute of partner is typing flashing on and off. Like he's not sure what to say.
xFun-Ghoulx: Okay, lemme see your pretty...- I found the word- victim. XD
With that I clicked on the camera's simultaneously as a shriek sounded through my soundproof apartment.
One of many soon to come.
I get it I'm evil, trust me its gets worse.

Student Allowance
A Student Allowance is a weekly payment to help with your living expenses while you study full-time. You don't have to pay this back.
On this page:
Am I eligible for a Student Allowance?
Complete the 'What You Can Get' eligibility test to find out whether you may be eligible for a Student Allowance.
In general, you may be able to get the Student Allowance if you:
- are at least 18 years old (some 16-17 year olds can also get it)
- are under 65 on the start date of your course (for study starting on or after 1 January 2014. Note: you may still qualify if you meet certain criteria in the transition period)
- are studying full-time (or Limited full-time with our approval)
- are studying an approved course
- are a New Zealand citizen or meet the residence requirements.
How much you could get
We work out how much you can get based on your circumstances, including:
- your income
- your parents' income if you are aged under 24
- whether you live in the parental home
- whether you have a partner, and how much they earn
- whether you have children.
If you qualify for the Student Allowance, you may also be able to get an Accommodation Benefit if you meet certain criteria. If you qualify for an Accommodation Benefit it will be paid automatically with your Student Allowance.
Applying for a Student Allowance
Generally, you need to apply for a Student Allowance each time you enrol for a new period of study.
The quickest and easiest way to apply for a Student Allowance is online. To get paid on time, apply as early as you can.
During the busiest times of the year it can take at least 8 weeks to finalise an application, particularly where we require additional information such as parents' income.
You can apply even if you haven't decided where or what you'll be studying - you can change this later. It's more important that you allow enough time for the application process to be completed before the start of your study.
How and when payment is made
The Student Allowance can only be paid from:
- the date the Student Allowance is approved from or
- the date you start study,
whichever is later.
Payments start in the second week (you are paid one week in arrears).
Student Allowance payments are direct credited to your bank account on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
You can view your payments at any time using your MyStudyLink account.
Situations where you can't get a Student Allowance
You can't get the Student Allowance:
- if you're studying a postgraduate course
- if you're on a benefit
- if you're in prison (not including home detention)
- for any period where you're doing paid work as part of your course
- if you have a Student Allowance debt that you are not actively paying back
- if you're receiving, or your partner is receiving, New Zealand Superannuation or Veterans Pension.
Talk to us if any of these situations apply to you as there may be other types of financial assistance available to you while you study.
How long you can get a Student Allowance for
You can only get a Student Allowance for a certain amount of time - this is called your entitlement limit.
Usually you can get a Student Allowance for:
- 92 weeks of secondary study
- 200 weeks of tertiary study
- 120 weeks of tertiary study if you are aged 40 or over (for study starting on or after 1 January 2014. Note: you may still qualify for the 200-week limit if you meet certain criteria in the transition period).
You may be able to get an extension to your entitlement limit for special circumstances if you need extra time to finish your studies.
Note: if you withdraw from, or reduce to part-time study, the number of weeks you received the Student Allowance for will still count towards your entitlement limit, unless you repay the amount of Student Allowance you received (providing you meet the repayment criteria).
Keeping your eligiblity to Student Allowance
You need to pass more than half of your course to get a Student Allowance again, unless you studied at secondary school. There is a certain calculation that is done to assess whether you've passed more than half.
Note: if you withdraw from, or reduce to part-time study, you will still need to pass more than half of this course, unless you repay the amount of Student Allowance you received (providing you meet the repayment criteria).
If you didn't pass more than half of your course due to reasons beyond your control, you may still be able to get another Student Allowance.
Repaying your Student Allowance to keep future entitlement
If you withdraw from your course, or reduce to part-time study and choose to repay the Student Allowance you received, this means:
- we won't look at whether you passed this course the next time you apply for a Student Allowance and
- the amount of weeks you have repaid will be credited back to your entitlement limit.
To repay the Student Allowance you need to:
- pay back all the after-tax amount of Student Allowance you received in respect of the course and;
- ensure that repayment is made within 12 months of the start of the course (where the course was one full academic year), or before the end of the course in every other case and;
- officially withdraw from the course or part of the course.
You need to let us know as soon as you change your study plans. When we stop your Student Allowance we will send you a letter explaining what you need to do if you wish to repay the allowance.
Note this provision does not apply where records show that you did not sit the final examination(s), or where you sat the examinations but failed.
Studying overseas
If you're studying overseas as a tertiary student, you need to be:
- enrolled with a tertiary education provider in New Zealand
- studying a programme that's approved by the Tertiary Education Commission or the Ministry of Education.
If you're studying overseas as a secondary student, you must:
- be studying a recognised exchange organisation, and
- have attended a New Zealand secondary school prior to commencing the exchange programme (or within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by StudyLink, if a delay in commencement is due to a different secondary school year in the host country).
You can find a list of approved exchange programmes on the Ministry of Education website.
The amount you can get overseas is the same as if you're studying in New Zealand.
When you apply for a Student Allowance, an Overseas Study application form will be sent to you. You must complete this form and send it to us.
