- Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD) declares $0.04/share semi-annual dividend, in line with previous.
- Forward yield 0.07%
- Payable Oct. 9; for shareholders of record Sept. 30; ex-div Sept. 28.

- Goldman Sachs analysts say the U.S. stock market correction has many more parallels with 1998 than 2008, which "suggest[s] a rebound ahead," while predicting the S&P 500 will rise by 11% from current levels to reach 2,100 by year's end.
- The S&P fell 19% between July and August 1998, but "ultimately, the U.S. economy was relatively unaffected by overseas financial market gyrations in 1998, and we believe a similar situation will occur in 2015," Goldman says.
- The correlation between U.S. economic growth and Chinese growth is relatively low, Goldman says, estimating that a one percentage point drop in Chinese growth would translate into a 0.06 pp reduction in U.S. GDP.
- The best strategy for U.S. consumers, the bank advises, is to hold companies with high domestic revenues and avoid companies with high foreign sales.
- Goldman's list of the 25 most oversold stocks with high U.S. sales exposure: KMX, M, WFM, CHK, SWN, RRC, COG, PXD, OKE, MPC, NAVI, ETFC, LNC, BXP, KEY, RF, DFS, ANTM, CSX, NSC, UNP, JBHT, FSLR, ADS, PAYX

- The Obama administration will allow limited sales of crude oil to Mexico for the first time, Reuters reports, citing a senior administration official who says the U.S. Commerce Department is "acting favorably on a number of applications" to export U.S. crude in exchange for imported Mexican oil.
- The shipments, likely to be lighter, high-quality shale oil, would help Mexico's aging refineries produce more premium fuels, while U.S. refiners would continue to get Mexican heavy oil, a better match for them than the light oil coming from Texas and North Dakota.
- Although limited in scope, the move toward freeing up trade will please U.S. oil producers such as Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), which say the restrictions force them to sell oil at below global market rates, and may add momentum to efforts mostly to repeal what advocates see as a relic of the 1970s.
- Among relevant oil stocks: XOM, CVX, BP, RDS.A, RDS.B, OAS, NOG, CLR, WLL, EOX, SM, SFY, PVA, GST, SN, CRK, BBG, CWEI

Wed, Aug. 5, 3:54 PM
- Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD +0.9%) closes in on a solid gain after Q2 earnings beat expectations and saying it still expects crude oil production to increase even in the face of the oil market downturn.
- PXD says it is maintaining a 10%-plus production growth forecast for 2015, reflecting an expected increase in Spraberry/Wolfcamp production growth from 20%-plus to 22%-24% offset by a reduction in the full-year growth rate for the Eagle Ford Shale.
- Q2 production totaled 197K boe/day (51% oil), reflecting strong Spraberry/Wolfcamp production growth the company says was driven by its successful horizontal drilling program.
- PXD says it put two additional rigs in Spraberry/Wolfcamp in July and will continue to add an average of two rigs a month and bring 100 new wells into production during the rest of the year, and then add eight more rigs in Q1 2016.
- Topeka Capital reiterates its Buy rating and $180 price target, saying PXD remains one of its top picks given a strong balance sheet, solid hedge book and position in the Permian Basin ahead of re-acceleration in what the firm believes will be an improved environment (Briefing.com).
Tue, Aug. 4, 4:41 PM
- Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD): Q2 EPS of $0.10 beats by $0.05.
- Revenue of $648M (-30.5% Y/Y) misses by $111.8M.
- Press Release
Fri, Jul. 31, 7:46 PM
- Giants Exxon Mobil (XOM -4.5%) and Chevron (CVX -4.9%) finished significantly lower at the close after each attempted a midday rally, in the wake of earnings misses marked by the continuing crude supply glut and price pressure.
- Oil ETFs fared not much better today: USO -3.2%, OIL -3.7%.
- Producers have key differences that make for advantages and disadvantages, like Chevron's downstream cushion. Exxon's edge over Chevron, Liam Denning notes: M&A. Its stock is down just 19% over the past year while the sector has tumbled 47%.
- As oil's selling point -- big cash distribution -- gets squeezed, Exxon is in relatively good shape. It's still raising its dividend, and it's cut its projected Q3 buybacks to just $500M (vs. zero for Chevron, Shell and BP).
- Exxon says it shops worldwide, but the U.S. may be a more natural hunting ground. Possible targets? According to Wolfe Research's Paul Sankey, Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD -2.4%) and Hess (HES -2.2%).
- ETFs: USO, OIL, UCO, UWTI, SCO, BNO, DBO, DWTI, DTO, USL, DNO, OLO, SZO, OLEM
- Previously: ConocoPhillips -3.3% as dividend gets scrutiny out of earnings (Jul. 31 2015)
- Previously: Chevron -1.8% as earnings tumble, paced by $2.2B upstream loss (Jul. 31 2015)
- Previously: Exxon Mobil off 1.8% premarket after lowest profit since 2009 (Jul. 31 2015)
Wed, Jul. 22, 5:29 PM
- Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD) reports Q2 production figures that fall short of its guidance due to lower than expected output in the Eagle Ford shale, but it maintains its FY 2015 outlook thanks to strong results from the Spraberry/Wolfcamp play.
- PXD says Q2 production averaged 197K boe/day (51% oil), below guidance of 198K-203K boe/day, and forecasts 2015 Eagle Ford production growth to be "nominal," primarily due to the delays in placing wells on production and performance issues during H1.
- However, PXD maintains its full-year production growth forecast at 10%-plus, as output from Spraberry/Wolfcamp is expected to grow by 22%-24% vs. its prior forecast of 20%-plus, reflects the continued strong performance of the horizontal drilling program.
Wed, Jul. 22, 2:37 PM
- A reduction in non-OPEC production eventually will provide an opportunity for U.S. producers to get back in the game, Credit Suisse analyst Mark Lear says as he upgrades the oil and gas E&P sector to Overweight and changes ratings for several individual stocks.
- Lear sees a handful of names with limited downside at WTI prices of ~$60/bbl and "decent" upside with prices in the $70's, and expects a better year for natural gas in 2016 as dropoffs in production and higher demand could lead to higher winter prices.
- "We may be early," but Credit Suisse assumes coverage at Outperform on some E&P stocks: EOG, EPE, PXD, DNR, APC, DVN.
- Upgraded to Outperform from Neutral: HES, CXO, CRZO, NBL
- Upgraded to Neutral from Underperform: MUR.
- Assumed coverage at Neutral: APA, DNR
- Assumed at Underperform: SD, SWN
- Downgraded to Underperform from Neutral: REXX, CRK
Thu, Jul. 16, 2:57 PM
- Global oil majors have $150B of firepower than can be used for M&A and have the ability to defer another $325B in capex on marginal projects; with so much cash available for potential deals and up to 15M bbl/day of production potentially available for purchase, Goldman Sachs analyst Ruth Brooker sees a pickup in M&A activity in the oil and gas space coming soon.
- The firm thinks shale production has the potential to double by 2025, and Brooker argues majors likely will take the current opportunity to increase their exposure to U.S. shale at historically low prices.
- Goldman sees seven companies as most likely to draw buyout attention from the majors: EOG, PXD, CLR, COG, NBL, APC, RRC.
Mon, Jul. 13, 5:38 PM
- Weakness in oil stocks should not be used as a buying opportunity, Barclays analysts say, viewing shares as significantly overvalued and appearing to discount an average oil price of $85-$90/bbl based on group average historical multiples.
- The firm removes Newfield Exploration (NYSE:NFX) and Cabot Oil & Gas (NYSE:COG) from its list of top oil and gas stocks, leaving only Canadian Natural Resource (NYSE:CNQ), EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN), Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL) and Concho Resources (NYSE:CXO).
- Barclays' bottom group consists of five Underweight rated stocks - CHK, OTCQX:COSWF, PXD, OXY and UPL - while WPX Energy (NYSE:WPX) is bumped off the bottom list to reflect an improved outlook as well as a 20%-plus share price decline.
Mon, Jul. 13, 11:32 AM
- Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD +1.1%) is upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight with a $190 price target at Morgan Stanley on valuation after the stock has lagged Permian and large-cap peers, driven by macro and hedge-fund criticism despite offering best-in-class reserve upside, drilling inventory and growth potential.
- PXD's "inventory depth" will enable it to grow production more than peers and cause the market to assign the stock a consolidation multiple, Stanley says, adding that the Spraberry play could significantly add to PXD's inventory and future growth potential.
- PXD has shed 18% since early May, vs. a 7% decline in Permian peers and a 12% drop in E&Ps with Permian exposure, thus the firm believes the stock and sector pullback now provide a suitable entry point.
Wed, Jul. 8, 3:28 PM
- Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD -1.3%) says it plans to increase drilling activity in Texas following closing the sale of its Eagle Ford shale pipeline and processing business, despite the ~15% drop in crude prices since late June.
- PXD says it already has added two drilling rigs in the Permian Basin this month and plans to add an average of two per month during the balance of the year as long as the crude oil price "remains constructive."
- PXD plans to add eight horizontal rigs in Texas shale basins early next year, bringing the total rig count to 36, or the same number it had before the price of oil collapsed by more than half.
- PXD does not expect the increased drilling to have a big impact on 2015 production, which had been forecast to grow more than 10%, but it will push capital spending up $350M to $2.2B.
Tue, Jun. 16, 5:45 PM
- The strained finances at U.S. E&P shale companies caused by collapsing crude oil prices is well known, and some analysts say the pain may be compounded by a steep drop in prices for natural gas liquids caused by oversupply, partly due to infrastructure constraints.
- SM Energy (NYSE:SM) said yesterday the price it is receiving for NGLs at the Mont Belvieu delivery point fell 36% Q/Q to $16.67/bbl and that the price declines would lower its 2015 total budgeted revenue by ~$25M while not affecting its drilling or production.
- Barclays recently said Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) could see 2016 cash flow cut by up to 3% if NGL price weakness persists, while Range Resources (NYSE:RRC) may see its cash flow cut by up to 5%; APC, DVN, PXD, QEP, SWN, ECA and EOG also could see reduced cash flow related to NGL pricing, the firm said.
- Analysts at Tudor Pickering have a more optimistic view and expect an NGL pricing recovery next year, as cresting U.S. nat gas and crude production looks to be flat-to-declining through 2016, giving U.S. infrastructure time to catch up; the firm upgrades SWN to Accumulate from Hold, with GPOR, MRD, COG, RICE and ECA as other top picks, and UPL and EQT recommended on weakness.
- ETFs: UNG, UGAZ, DGAZ, BOIL, GAZ, KOLD, UNL, DCNG
Mon, Jun. 1, 2:57 PM
- Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD +1%) is upgraded to Buy from Hold with a $190 price target, up from $145, at Topeka Capital, which says the stock's recent underperformance and the just-announced Eagle Ford midstream sale and re-acceleration provide an excellent entry point in a premier Permian Basin growth and value story.
- PXD is best positioned to weather the downturn, as a more defensive name at current levels, given its Tier 1 assets, ample financial liquidity and strong hedge book, the firm says; the catalysts also may drive an unwinding short position from a recent widely publicized short thesis.
Mon, Jun. 1, 9:08 AM
- Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD) agrees to acquire EFS Midstream from Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD) and Reliance Industries for $2.15B.
- EPD says it will pay in two installments, with the first $1.15B installment paid at closing and the final $1B installment paid by the first anniversary of the closing date; it expects the transaction to be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow.
- PXD and Reliance also say they will benefit from fee reductions under existing downstream processing and transportation contracts with EPD in exchange for extending the contract term to 20 years and dedicating additional Eagle Ford Shale volumes to EPD.
- EFS provides gas gathering, treating, compression and condensate processing services in the Eagle Ford Shale; its system includes ~460 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines, 10 central gathering plants, 780M cf/day of natural gas treating capacity and 119K bbl/day of condensate stabilization capacity.

Companies in this region love to state the obvious. Cue Etisalat, announcing that competing with Du is hurting the bottom line. If only it was benefitting the customer.
November 23, 2010 2:36 by Eva Fernandes
In a less-than-earth-shattering revelation, Etisalat is reported to have mentioned in its prospectus that "competition from du may cause the group to lose customers." Aw, poor Etisalat. Must be tough not operating in a closed shop.
Talk about spelling out the obvious, though. Not to mention being a little misleading; competition from Du has already caused the group to lose customers. Etisalat's Q3 report recorded a drop in profits of Dh.1.2 billion when compared to the same period last year.
Meanwhile Du's Q3 report boasted a profit of Dh163 million, and in the third quarter of 2010 it added 159,800 new subscribers, a significantly higher rate than Etisalat's 10,000 new subscribers in the same period. Du Q3 profits were both significantly higher than their previous year (Dh.78.5 million) and analysts' expectations (Bloomberg predicted a profit of Dh.148 million). Perhaps that prospectus should have read "competition from Du may cause the group to continue to lose customers."
It's a pity, then, that all this "competition" hasn't led to a stellar telco industry in the UAE. In fact, anecdotal evidence tells Kipp that the UAE telco pair is as frustratingly poor as ever. So, in one of our customary fits of annoyance, we asked our readers: What is your biggest complaint about your mobile provider?
The majority (36 percent) said it was the high prices the telecoms in the UAE charge. A substantial 20 percent complained about the lack of the range of services provided, with bad customer service (19 percent) following in third place (Kipp would put this top of its complaints pile). And only 8 percent complained about the bad reception.

Boot Camp for Pie Makers
"We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie."
David Mamet, American author, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director
To a pie soldier like me, making pies is work. Important work, tasty work, fun work. But still serious work. I agree with Mamet that stress disappears in the presence of pie.
So, today we begin a series of blogs on making pies. Consider this series Pie Making Boot Camp. Before you step into that kitchen, soldier, you'd better be prepared for whatever you may face. Pie Making: For the few, the proud, the bakers.
I imagine it beginning something like this:
"Do you want to bake pies, recruit?"
The drill sergeant moved into my personal space, his jet black eyes boring into mine.
"Um, sure. I love pie," I mumbled, as I backed up against the island in my kitchen.
"I didn't hear you clearly, recruit," he bellowed, nose now one inch from my own.
"Yes! Yes, I want to bake pies."
"Yes, what, recruit?" I didn't dare fan the flour away from my face as it poofed off him and onto me.
"Yes sir, Sir!"
"On the counter recruit, and give me 20—crusts, I mean. And they better be flaky."
A basic skill that needs perfecting
Okay, maybe that's extreme. Maybe.
But baking an excellent pie is both a basic skill and a skill that you'll perfect over time. Over the next several days, we'll help you think about what tools you need, how to create the perfect crust, specific tips for fruit and cream pies, and, lastly, we'll recruit you for the mini pie revolution.
You ready for this? Then let's begin.
Here are some basic tools you'll want in your duffel bag—er, kitchen.
The right tools for the job
Just like a fiction writer needs a pen, a plumber needs a plunger, and an accountant needs a calculator, the baker of pies needs some basic tools. Of course, there are additional, non-essential tools for the more experienced baker (like the writer's plotting software, the plumber's water leak detectors, and the accountant's financial forecasts). But first, let's determine what's essential.
- Pastry blender: This tool is really two tools—a pastry blender to create a fluffier consistency to your dough and a dough crimper to quickly seal and create a fluted edge for your pie crusts. Plus, you can also use it to mash potatoes, bananas (for breads or cakes), or avocados (for dips and toppings).
- Pie crust protector: This adjustable silicone pie shield fits 8-, 9-, and 10-inch diameter pies and prevents the crust edges burning. Flexible and lightweight to gently cover crust, keep edges intact, and allow thorough baking of the center. Eliminates the task of piecing together tin foil sections and stays in place throughout the baking process.
- Nonstick oven liner: Since pies frequently boil over during baking, this simple tool will save you that task of cleaning your oven after you bake a pie. Use over and over.
- Pie plates: All shapes, all sizes, all colors. Each chef needs a variety of pie plates.
Nice-to-have tools
These may not be essential, but they sure are nice to have.
- Ceramic pie weights: These dishwasher-safe ceramic pie weights are placed on top of your crust as it bakes to prevent air pockets from forming. Air circulates around the weights, ensuring a perfect crust. Eliminates the need to pin-prick your crusts before baking.
- Split pie plate: For those who can't make up their minds—or who can't agree—this unique pie plate ends those arguments.
- Easily create that "pretty pie" effect: Create decorative apple, leaf, heart, or lattice designs right into the tops of your piecrusts with these ingenious cutters. Just roll out dough, press the pie topper in to cut out shapes and place the dough on top of the pie.
- Pie storage: By the pie or by the slice, this pie keeper keeps your creation fresh, ready to serve or transport.
Now that the Mini Pie Revolution is underway and Pie Making Bootcamp is completed, check out these pie-related blogs on CHEFS Mix for more:
- Mini Pies for Everyone!
- Uniquely delicious fruit pies
- Tropical Delight: Creamy Pies
- The Foundation for Every Memorable Pie
- Boot Camp for Pie Makers
Your turn: Are you afraid of pie crusts, recruit?
Nordic Ware Giveaway This Week!
This week is Pie Making Boot Camp week at CHEFS Mix Blog! Leave a comment on any of this week's blogs and be eligible to win this week's prize: A 10-inch Nordic Ware Pie Pan With Lid. The winner will be chosen Monday, June 24, from all commenters on our pie blogs through Sunday, June 23. When you comment, leave a way for us to reach you if you're the winner. Or, check back on Monday–when we start talking about another kind of pie: Pizza!

- Adorable
- Unstable
Best Uses
ADORABLE bunny butter dish, I love Fitz & Floyd. However, the top of the dish is slightly too large for the bottom (or the bottom is slightly too small), and it doesn't fit flat so the dish ends up unstable when moved. It would probably be fine if you keep your butter on the countertop and don't need to move it around much, but I keep ours in the frig and feel like the lid is going to fall off when I reach up to put the bunny in the butter bin.

We examined the relationship between being bullied during childhood and activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis as assessed through repeated measures of salivary cortisol. A non-clinical sample of 154 (74 boys) predominantly Caucasian middle-class 12-year-olds each provided detailed information about their experiences with bullying and six saliva samples were standardized across time and day. Children with a history of child maltreatment, diagnosed psychiatric illness, foster care placement, medication use (psychotropic and oral contraception) and aggression directed toward peers and/or family members were excluded. Using multilevel regression and applying orthogonal polynomial contrasts to model the observed circadian pattern in the data, we found that occasional and frequent verbal peer victimization was associated with hyposecretion of cortisol when controlling for sex, pubertal status, age, depression and anxiety. This relation, however, was moderated by sex. For boys, occasional exposure was associated with higher cortisol levels, whereas for girls exposure was associated with lower cortisol levels. The present study highlights the need to consider the plight of peer-victimized children seriously, as it is associated with alterations to the HPA axis that affect males and females differently, and likely diminishes a person's ability to cope with stress, possibly placing them at risk for psychopathology and ill health.

This fic in my opinion is quite good. Don't know where this fic is going but til you abandoned this fic, i'm gonna read it.
| Guest chapter 29 . 8/16
I miss this story. I come back every so often to check for updates. Please continue?
| Harrison-Potter-Malfoy chapter 4 . 7/14
male/male pairing for Harry/Undertaker as I don't think most women from the HP verse would know how to handle him but a couple guys like Rabastan Lestrange *hint hint*

Awww, I'm a little sad that you haven't updated this story in...two?...Yeah two-ish years. Especially since it was so interesting to read (Oh undertaker you hilarious mad-man).
Well, if you ever decide to update this again (Fingers crossed!) then I'll be notified!
| YuukiAsuna-Chan chapter 5 . 6/17
Hermione and Ron completely loyal to Dumble
for pairing i would say either Daphne, Astoria or Fleur
| YuukiAsuna-Chan chapter 2 . 6/17
hmm, not bad... a single pairing seems more likely than a harem, if he has a pairing at all. Undertaker doesn't really strike me as a guy that would have a pairing at all...
i doubt he would have friends, preferring solitude

There's an Undertaker video on YouTube set to this song. You might like it.

I would love to be able to read a story in German. Unfortunantly I can neither speak or read German so I am out of luck.
It is really cool that you know more than one language and your english is probably better than mine (though that isn't saying much).
I just wanted to review and tell you that this is a really cool story and that you should be proud of it soooo... bye.

I vote Male/Male but Male/Female is okay-ish if nothing over PG-13 takes place then its just disturbing.
Preferably male/male.
Good chapter!
| Missing Jade Snake chapter 1 . 1/4
I'm not sure if I've read this story before but crossovers are my favourite sort of story on this site so a HP and Kuroshitsuji crossover would definitely hold my attention.
The only thing that put me off about Chapter 1 was the song lyrics in between paragraphs, it was distracting.
But other than that, cool chappie!

Just Do It
John 2:1-25 My husband and I lead tours to Israel, and we are about to take our sixth trip together there. We always make sure we do not miss the lovely chapel that now marks the place where Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding of Cana. The presence of the Lord is always so strong in this place. read more
He Knows You
John 1:29-51 How many times have you called a person, only to receive a taped message? Because of great advancements in the technology of the computer and satellites, we have become a faceless society. At the same time we also have a society in which there is no privacy. Even though my face may not be known to others because I never have face-to-face communication with them, my whole life is known to others. Via the computer and satellite others know all about me—my buying habits, how much money I have in the bank, my age and the number in my family. read more
Jesus Is the Light
John 1:1-28 John begins his letter with the words "In the beginning was the Word." The Word was Jesus. He is the living Word. The Father is a Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God and Jesus is the Word of God. The Word of God took the form of flesh and came to live here on earth. I like to say God decided to put on an earth suit so He could come live with us. Jesus was with the Father from the foundation of the earth. When God said, "Let there be light," the light of Jesus began to shine on this earth. Jesus is the true Light that lights every man who comes into the world. read more

Luke 23:44-24:12 This passage tells about Joseph of Arimathea, who provided the sepulchre for Jesus' burial place. Luke describes Joseph of Arimathea as a counselor, a good and just man. He also had refused to condemn Jesus. The name Joseph in Hebrew means "provider." read more
The Inheritance of the Righteous
Psalm 97:1-98:9 Our own righteousness is as filthy rags, but the Lord's righteousness is filled with blessing upon blessing. We can only tap into the Lord's righteousness when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. From that moment on we are considered righteous, not because of our own righteous deeds, but because of the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for us. Because of His blood that provided our forgiveness, cleansing, justification, sanctification, glorification and righteousness (right standing with God), we are now dressed in His robe of righteousness. We begin a life journey of blessing if we continue to abide in His Word and His love and obey His commandments. Of course, we will experience trials and temptations (and probably many of them) before we go to heaven, but Jesus the Righteous One will fight our battles, and the ultimate victory will be ours. read more
A Sinking Heart
Luke 22:55-23:10 This passage in Luke tells about Peter's denial of Jesus. Yesterday we talked about the sinking feeling we experience when we face certain difficult situations. Fear and discouragement can cause the sinking feeling. Today we see an even deeper level of emotional turmoil. When Peter denied Jesus, he had more than a sinking feeling. He had a sinking heart. His heart was broken. When the Lord turned and looked at Peter after the cock crowed, Peter remembered the word of the Lord and how He told him that before the cock crowed he would deny Him three times. Peter left the scene and wept bitterly. read more
That Sinking Feeling
Psalm 94:1-23 Everyone during their lifetime experiences that sinking feeling. It may be fear that usually hits us with a racing heart and a sinking feeling in the pit of our stomachs. It may be discouragement. The saying goes that when the devil created the tool of discouragement, he then ceased from his works. We may have that sinking feeling when we are experiencing the loss of a loved one. When we receive the report we have been turned down for an interview, once again that sinking feeling overwhelms us. The psalmist David was quite familiar with the sinking feeling. Flight and fight were his constant companions during his lifetime. In this psalm he reveals how he was able to survive the sinking feeling. He writes, "Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul-.-.-.- They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge" (vv. 17-19, 21-22, KJV). read more
A Wise Woman Builds Her House

The following patent application is incorporated by reference U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/287151, filed 4 Nov. 2002, entitled "Intelligent Trip Status Notification," (Attorney Docket: 630-015us).
The present invention relates to transportation in general, and, in particular, to methods of determining desirable departure times for trips based on one or more timetables.
Some modes of transportation, such as trains, buses, and airplane shuttles enable a user to travel from a first location to a second location (e.g., from a departure airport to a destination airport, from a first train station to a second train station, etc.) in accordance with a timetable that comprises a plurality of departure and arrival times. When traveling by such modes of transportation, a user typically decides which particular train, bus, airplane flight, etc. to take based on the desired time-of-arrival at the destination.
For example, a hockey fan who is in Red Bank, N.J. might wish to see a 8:00 PM Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Garden and might decide to travel to the game by train. Typically, the hockey fan will choose a particular train (e.g., the 6:36 PM North Jersey Coast train, etc.) from a timetable so that he or she will arrive at Madison Square Garden at a "good" time. A "good" time might depend on the preferences of the individual, but would typically be sometime before 8:00 PM, and not too much before 8:00 PM (for example, arriving at 4:00 PM would generally be considered undesirable, and probably worse than arriving at 8:10 PM).
The hockey fan might take into account historical schedule divergences when deciding which train to take. For example, in the above example, the typical delays for a train scheduled to leave Red Bank at 6:36 PM and arrive at Madison Square Garden at 7:52 PM might be such that the expected arrival time is actually sometime between 7:49 PM and 8:10 PM. Based on this information, a hockey fan might prefer to take an earlier train that is scheduled to leave at 6:05 PM and arrive at 7:19 PM, with an actual arrival time sometime between 7:18 PM and 7:37 PM.
In a more complex example, such as when the hockey fan must first drive five miles from his or her house to the Red Bank train station, the hockey fan decides (i) which train to take, as well as (ii) when to leave the house, based on the train timetable and an estimate of how long it will take to travel by car from the house to the train station (e.g., 10 minutes, between 10 and 20 minutes, etc.). Similarly, if the hockey fan is going to a concert at Carnegie Hall instead of a Rangers game, the hockey fan should also consider the time required to get to Carnegie Hall from Madison Square Garden (which might also be based on a timetable, such as a bus schedule) when deciding which train to take from Red Bank.
As illustrated by the above examples, it can be difficult for a hockey fan to decide which train, bus, etc. to select from a timetable when a trip comprises a plurality of segments, or when the arrival time can be affected by factors such as schedule divergences, weather, traffic, etc. Often the hockey fan miscalculates and arrives late, or is so apprehensive about arriving late that he or she arrives much too early.
The present invention enables the advantageous selection of a departure time for a trip based on one or more timetables. In particular, the illustrative embodiment employs a penalty function that considers:
For trip segments that are not based on a timetable (e.g., traveling by car, walking, etc.), the travel times are based on a plurality of factors such as the time and date (i.e., the calendrical time), weather, traffic, etc. As in the case of timetable entries, travel times for trip segments that are not based on a timetable are also assigned low, middle, and high values with appropriate probabilities or weightings.
For the purposes of this specification, the term "calendrical time" is defined as indicative of one or more of the following:
The illustrative embodiment comprises: (a) receiving a desired time-of-arrival; and (b) selecting one of a plurality of entries of a timetable based on: (i) the current time, (ii) said desired time-of-arrival, and (iii) a non-negative penalty function; wherein each of said entries comprises: (i) a scheduled time-of-departure, and (ii) a value that indicates a scheduled time-of-arrival; and wherein said penalty function is: (i) monotonically increasing in travel time T, wherein T equals the difference between an actual time-of-arrival and an actual time-of-departure, (ii) monotonically increasing in Δ=(said actual time-of-arrival minus said desired time-of-arrival) over at least one interval (Δ1, Δ2) of Δ wherein Δ2>Δ1≧0, and (iii) monotonically decreasing in A over at least one interval (Δ3, Δ4) of Δ wherein Δ3<Δ4<0.
The illustrative embodiment of the present invention employs a penalty function comprising three terms that quantifies the "cost" or "penalty" of a particular trip:
In the illustrative embodiment, the first term of the penalty function, denoted f1, is an equation of the form:
f 1(t a , t d)=c 1(t a −t d)m (Eq. 1)
where c1 and n are positive constants.
Equation 1 is depicted graphically in
In the illustrative embodiment, the second term of the penalty function, denoted f2, is an equation of the form:
f 2(t a)=u 0(t a −t a*)�[c 2 +c 3�min(t a −t a *, c 4)n] (Eq. 2)
where c2, c3, c4, and n are positive constants, and u0 is the unit step function, as is well-known in the art.
Equation 2 is depicted graphically in
In the illustrative embodiment, the third term of the penalty function, denoted f3, is an equation of the form:
f 3(t a)=u 0(t a *−t a −c 5)�(t a −t a *−c 5)k (Eq. 3)
where c5 and k are positive constants.
Equation 3 is depicted graphically in
Receiver 601 receives signals from which processor 602 can estimate the location of apparatus 600, as described below. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments receiver 601 might be a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that receives satellite radio signals, while in some other embodiments receiver 601 might receive terrestrial radio signals that can be used to derive location.
Processor 602 is a general-purpose processor that is capable of: executing instructions stored in memory 603, reading data from and writing data into memory 603, determining a location based on signals received by receiver 601, generating outputs, and executing the tasks described below and with respect to
Memory 603 stores data and executable instructions, as is well-known in the art, and might be any combination of random-access memory (RAM), flash memory, disk drive, etc.
Clock 604 transmits the current date and time to processor 602 in well-known fashion.
Although the illustrative embodiment employs the architecture of
At task 710, processor 602 receives desired time of arrival ta*, timetable(s) for appropriate trip segments, and appropriate parameters for non-timetable trip segments (e.g., minimum and maximum travel times for uniform distributions, mean and variance for normal distributions, etc.).
At task 720, processor 602 prunes irrelevant entries from the timetable(s) (e.g., entries for a 1-hour trip segment with departure times later than the desired time of arrival ta*, etc.).
At task 730, processor 602 generates a set S of all possible trip combinations, where each member of S is a sequence of trip segments, and wherein each timetable-based trip segment is associated with a 9-tuple corresponding to the three departure times and three travel times associated with a timetable entry, and wherein each non-timetable trip segment is associated with a tuple containing the appropriate parameters received at task 710. For example, the first entry in the timetable of
At task 740, processor 602 sets variable n to infinity.
At task 750, processor 602 removes a trip s from set S.
At task 760, processor 602 computes penalties for each combination of tuple elements for trip s, in accordance with Equations 1 through 3.
At task 765, processor 602 computes a weighted average p of the penalties computed at task 760, using appropriate weights (e.g., equal weights for a uniform distribution, [0.16, 0.68, 0.16] for a normal distribution, etc.).
At task 770, processor 602 tests whether weighted average p is less than π, which is the smallest penalty of trips examined so far. If p is less than π, then execution continues at task 780, otherwise execution continues at task 790.
At task 780, processor 602 stores value p in variable π, and stores trip s in variable α.
At task 790, processor 602 tests whether set S is empty. If S is not empty, then execution continues back at task 750, otherwise execution continues at task 795.
At task 795, processor 602 outputs trip a, the departure time for trip a, and the total travel time for trip α. After task 795, the method of flowchart 700 terminates.
As described above, although in the illustrative embodiment the tasks of flowchart 700 are executed by processor 602 of mobile device 600, it will be clear to those skilled in the art how to make and use alternative embodiments of the present invention in which a processor of another entity (e.g., an Internet server, a wireless access point, a wireless switching center, etc.) performs some or all of the tasks of flowchart 700.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in some embodiments it might be desirable to incorporate additional features into the method of
At task 810, processor 602 receives the current location of mobile device 600 from receiver 601. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments processor 602 might actually receive raw data from receiver 601 and compute location based on the data.
At task 820, processor 602 estimates, based on the current location, the user's arrival time at the destination of the current trip segment. A method for estimating the arrival time is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/287151, entitled "Intelligent Trip Status Notification," which is incorporated by reference.
At task 830, processor 602 compares the arrival time estimated at task 820 to the desired arrival time at the destination of the current trip segment.
At task 840, processor 602 outputs a trip status notification (e.g., a visual notification, an audible notification, etc.) based on the difference between the estimated and desired arrival times. Such notifications might include a graphical gauge that is continuously displayed and updated, a warning message that is displayed when the difference exceeds a threshold, a warning beep, etc. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments it might be desirable to issue in advance alerts that indicate required changes to a scheduled trip (e.g., "If you don't leave now, you will miss the express train and will risk arriving late", etc.).
After completion of task 840, execution continues back at task 810. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments it might be advantageous to wait for a specified time period before proceeding to task 810.
As described above, although in the illustrative embodiment the tasks of flowchart 800 are all executed by processor 602 of mobile device 600, it will be clear to those skilled in the art how to make and use alternative embodiments of the present invention in which some or all of the tasks of flowchart 800 are executed by a processor of another device (e.g., an Internet server, a wireless access point, a wireless switching center, etc.).
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the methods of the illustrative embodiment could be used as the basis for new software applications (e.g., selecting an advantageous meeting place and time for a plurality of users based on the users' schedules [or current locations] and weights reflecting the relative importance of users; selecting advantageous modes of transportation for one or more trip segments; etc.).
It is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and that many variations of the above-described embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that such variations be included within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.

home in Windsor
WINDSOR A Vermont youth organization created a decade ago finally has a permanent home.
The Youth Managed Cafe was started in 2003 in White River Junction by a school clinician and a clothing store owner. It started out by getting kids ages 12 to 21 to music shows and art workshops, and evolved to focus on giving young people a place to hang out, free of drugs and alcohol, and give back to their community.
But it never had a permanent location until now. The Valley News reported that the organizations 802 Lounge will open Friday in Windsor, in a building that has housed a grocery store, bank and beauty salon over the years.MORE IN This Just In

THURSDAY, Aug. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Women who get pregnant within six months after having a miscarriage stand the best chance of having a healthy pregnancy with the fewest complications, Scottish researchers report.

Some doctors say there is no reason for asking women to hold off trying to conceive, but according to the study authors, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends waiting at least six months.
The Scottish researchers said their findings suggests the WHO guidelines need to be revisited.
"Our data showed, that at least in Scottish women, there is no justification in delaying a pregnancy following an uncomplicated miscarriage," said lead researcher Dr. Sohinee Bhattacharya, a lecturer in obstetric epidemiology at the University of Aberdeen, Dugald Baird Centre for Research on Women's Health at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital in Aberdeen.
"This research will help health-care providers to counsel women regarding timing of future pregnancies and will allow couples to make informed choices based on hard evidence," Bhattacharya said.
WHO guidelines may still be applicable to women in developing countries, she added.

The researchers found that women who got pregnant again within six months were less likely to miscarry again, to have to terminate the pregnancy or to have an ectopic pregnancy compared with women who got pregnant six to 12 months after their miscarriage. (They were, however, at a higher risk of in
