AT&T says: 3G iPhone in 2008
Posted by Sparky Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Internet, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi
AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenso let slip that a 3G iPhone is indeed on it's way sometime in early 2008. This is an obvious evolution for the platform and is no surprise, but hearing it 'right from the horses mouth' certainly is a nice reassurance. While the exact timing of the release is unknown, he did indicate it would likely be prior to May. Based on AT&T's HSDPA technology the 3G iPhone would feature the same blazing download and upload speeds as other 3G devices currently on the market. Apple has yet to comment on Stephenso's early-announcement.
Gear Live's prediction: the announcement of the 3G iPhone will come hand in hand with a more proper unveiling of the SDK at Macworld, likely with a bump to 16GB of storage to match the current generation iPod Touch. Gear Live's predicament: we can't wait.

The Lazy Way to Score a Wii
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Internet, Portable Audio / Video, Toys, Video Games
Want a Wii but don't want the early morning wait outside Toys 'R Us or Target? Two websites will help you to obtain the elusive game system. Wii Chat will tell you places to pre-order plus links to eBay sellers, if cost isn't as important as availability. Wii Tracker goes one better. It lists particular stores' availability on not only Wiis, but other hot items such as TMX Elmo, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo DS, iPhones, and RAZRs. Sure, you could look for these yourself, but why bother when these kind folk have done it for you?

Apple releases OS X 10.5.1 update
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Software
We knew the first .1 update to OS X Leopard had to be coming soon enough, as there were just too many small niggles in the initial release that were bothering people, especially as it pertained to things like Back to my Mac, Finder, Time Machine, and Mail 3.0. Luckily, if you are running Leopard, you can now fire up Software Update to install 10.5.1. This update fixes 25 of the most pressing bugs seen in 10.5.0. We've included a list of all 25 after the break - check it out, and let us know how it goes for you. As for us, the update hasn't fixed the Airport kernel panic that keeps taking our MacBook Pro down every 30-45 minutes or so. Thanks Apple!

AT&T USBConnect 881 bringing 3G over USB to PCs and Macs everywhere
Posted by Sparky Categories: Apple, Broadband, Internet, PC / Laptop, Peripherals, Wireless / WiFi, USB
AT&T just announced their USBConnect 881 - an HSDPA/HSUPA modem for Macs and PCs that connects via USB. The minuscule 1.25oz modem claims to give an average download speed of 600kbps to 1.4Mbps, with uploads clocking in at 500kbps and 800kbps in HSUPA markets. While it may not be as slim and sexy as an Expresscard modem this looks like a great option for those with an older laptop, or a Macbook looking to quench their hankering for high speed laptop data on the go.
Available now for $50 with a 2 year contract, or for $299 without a commitment to AT&T.

UK iPhone launch lines non-existent
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds
Now this is just silly, especially when compared to the mania that the iPhone launch caused here in the US. Apparently, there is no one in the UK
queueing to purchase an iPhone. I mean, there are some, but very, very few. Compare that to the 4-block long line that I was a part of when I purchase my iPhone at the Seattle Apple Store, and I start looking like a dork. Especially since I was within the first 40 people in that line. Oh, and the fact that later that night, when the line had made it through, there were still plenty of iPhone to be had. I guess the British just have a bit more dignity than we do.
[Thanks, Patrick!]

BluePhoneElite 2: Your Mac and your phone, together at last
Posted by Sparky Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Internet, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Software, Wireless / WiFi
Gear Live has long been a fan of BluePhoneElite, and the new version 2.0. BluePhoneElite allows users to send and receive SMS messages via Bluetooth from the comfort of their computer, dial and receive calls, and generally provide solid integration between Apple's iLife applications and a Bluetooth phone.
The new version fully supports Symbian and Windows Mobile devices, but sadly only supports the headset profile on the iPhone due to the closed nature of the platform. A new license BluePhoneElite 2 costs just under $25 and offers a 2 week trial so you can take it for a test spin. Current BluePhoneElite version 1 customers will get the new functionality as a free upgrade.

day trip to Piran or Rovinj?
My family will be visiting Slovenia this year over Easter and staying in Ljubljana. We have one day to drive over to the coast (we'll have a car) and are debating Piran, which is closer, vs. a little longer drive down to Rovinj. If you had to choose one over the other, what would it be? If we went to Rovinj, I'd be tempted to drive back to Ljubljana thru Rijeka, across the Istrian Peninsula, but that might be too much driving in one day. Has anyone done this?

Dying from cancer or other chronic diseases in the Netherlands: ten-year trends derived from death certificate data
- Equal contributors
1 NIVEL, Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research, Otterstraat 118-124, 3513 CR Utrecht, the Netherlands
2 Department of general practice, AMC/UvA, Meibergdreef 15, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, the Netherlands
BMC Palliative Care 2009, 8:4 doi:10.1186/1472-684X-8-4Published: 4 February 2009
For the further development of palliative care, it is relevant to gain insight into trends in non-acute mortality. The aim of this article is twofold: (a) to provide insight into ten-year trends in the characteristics of patients who died from cancer or other chronic diseases in the Netherlands; (b) to show how national death statistics, derived from physicians' death certificates, can be used in this type of investigations.
Secondary analysis of data from 1996 to 2006 on the "primary" or "underlying" cause of death from official death certificates filled out by physicians and additional data from 2003 to 2006 on the place of death from these certificates.
Of the 135,000 people who died in the Netherlands in 2006, 77,000 (or 57%) died from a chronic disease. Cancer was the most frequent cause of death (40,000). Stroke accounted for 10,000 deaths, dementia for 8,000 deaths and COPD and heart failure each accounted for 6,000 deaths. Compared to 1996, the number of people who died from chronic diseases has risen by 6%.
Of all non-acute deaths, almost three quarters were at least 70 years old when they died. Almost one third of the people died at home (31%), 28% in a hospital, 25% in a nursing home and 16% somewhere else.
Further investments to facilitate dying at home are desirable. Death certificate data proved to be useful to describe and monitor trends in non-acute deaths. Advantages of the use of death certificate data concern the reliability of the data, the opportunities for selection on the basis of the ICD-10, and the availability and low cost price of the data.

Martin, who won the Tony last year as Pippin's high-flying granny, won her first working in the same Lincoln Center rehearsal room and at the Beaumont Theatre, standing out in that clown car of character actors tearing through My Favorite Year.
"This is not a musical, but it feels just as big," she said. "It's one of the few plays that I've done in New York. For some reason, I keep gravitating toward musicals."
Mimi Lieber, who did a little choreography on the show, warms the turbulent homefront as Hart's mother, "but," she added, "the gossip columnist is the most fun."
Could it be that buoyant personality that brings life-plus to the characters she plays? Martin only gets to flash her comedy chops with the agent role. "Moss' aunt was a pivotal part of his life: She so loved the theatre herself and offered him a world of magic and glamour when he grew up in such poverty. And Mrs. Kaufman represented a different view of the theatre world. I think it was rather a full-time job taking care of George Kaufman. She was a socialite. Like so many people in that era she gave a lot of parties, saw a lot of theatre, entertained a lot, frequented the Algonquin Roundtable. Really, how she serves the book and this play, is how steady and pragmatic and practical and grounded she was to her husband's idiosyncracies."
Donna Murphy, one of several who confessed to shedding copious salty tears over the play, said she's in the middle of shooting a television project, then off to France.
Alexandra Silber, who was the "she" to Fontana's "me" in a wonderful Caramoor revival of She Loves Me last year, was very much in his camp on opening night.
Dan Sullivan, Lieber's director-husband, will world-premiere Daniel Margulies' latest, The Country House, with Blythe Danner at the Geffen Playhouse in L.A. June 3 before addressing John Lithgow's King Lear here at Central Park's Delacorte.
More news from the West Coast: Michael Wilson said he's in pre-production for a new Elizabeth Egloff play, Ether Dome (July 13-Aug 10) at the La Jolla Playhouse before taking Horton Foote's The Old Friends to Houston with Betty Buckley.
Jack Cummings III, who helmed a successful revival of I Remember Mama that closes April 20 at The Gym at Judson, asided that he lifted a few scenes from the George Stevens-Irene Dunne movie of 1948 that weren't in John van Druten's play.
Other first nighters: Jed Bernstein, directors Bartlett Sher and Jack O'Brien, publisher Joe Armstrong, Joan Rivers, Richard Easton, screenwriter Susan Rice and Victor Garber.

Skip's Activity
Skip added a post in a topic RILEY HEAD CONVERSIONArt, Looks like the Winfield head in the Rat Rod version, at least it's th same head as the Red Hot Rod version had. Both have such thick chrome that the Winfield can't be read if it's there.
Part B of the question: Do any of the aftermarket Resin Casters do the Riley Head in Resin? Since you're going to have to strip the chrome off of the head anyway you might as well start with a clean casting.
Skip added a post in a topic Ghosting avoidance helpFunny thing is that when I first started using rattle can lacquer based automotive primer on models this was never an issue. I highly suspect that the underlying issue is the styrene / plastic being used in the models we are getting now. If you read some of the articles Hank Borger and others penned for Car Mod l and Model Car Science where they were using lacquer paints and primers there is literally no mention of "ghosting" "crazing" of the plastic. Totally frustrating when using the same techniques used for years and having poor results from them, the purple pond is your friend in this case!
Apply the primer in thin coats and allow it to fully cure until the next thin coat, (dehydrator works well for this). Build thin coats up until you have enough to level he surface off then sand with 800 -'1000 grit. If the color coat has any lacquer in it at all then you will need to slowly build your color coat up until there is sufficient color coat to polish out. Same goes for clear coat, mist the coats on until you have a decent amount of clear built up, then if you need to you can probably get away with a heavier coat. It wouldn't hurt while you are at it to apply a thin coat of future or acrylic spray between plastic and primer.
The issue is that the lacquer in the primer is staying volatile because all the solvents are not fully evaporated off, once the surface flashes off then the solvents are trapped. The ghosting we see is probably the result of the solvents trying to find a way out, can't get through all the paint so it tries to go through the plastic swelling the plastic and we see ghosting. If you try to lay down a heavy coat of primer, unless you get really lucky on top of the ghosting you will see crazing of the plastic. Ive always heard this condition called "Lacquer Burn" which is a good term for it because it can cause the plastic itself to become brittle.
Skip added a post in a topic '40 Ford Kustom CoupeThat's coming out really nice, '37 - '40 Ford Coupes are really difficult to get the proportions down exactly right as in its not really a measurement thing it's a looks right thing. Looks like you've got the "Looks Right Thing" down pat!
ive seen a '40 chopped, they added the material in the middle of the roof to stretch it, never looks right proportionally. Chopping is supposed to make the car look sleeker, not clunky like some do.
Skip added a post in a topic '40 Ford Kustom CoupeWell, looks love you've got a start. Also looks like a case of lacquer burn to that plastic too, might have to do a skim coat of filler to bury it, seems to come back like ghosting emblems. When you prime it make sure that you build it up in thin coats, (I've had it happen with primer by trying to do a heavy first coat). For me the trick is to get the primer flashed off and then dried very quickly.
Back to your Forty, what are you doing for an engine? If the Buick Nailhead is still there it cleans up really well for '60's Nostalgia style if you use the triple carb version, the "Custom" Racing exhaust headers can be cleaned up and trimmed off to meet up with the dual exhaust systemm and looks good. Flathead can be cleaned up as well, maybe toss in a resin intake and some hi-compression heads, again use or fabricate a dual exhaust and you have another winning combo. Dressed up small block Chev, Olds, Caddy, Y-block all would look great in that engine compartment as well. Keep this one going, it's off to a great start!
I have an AMT 40 Coupe on my bench right now too, Buick engine, Modelhaus Chrome Reverse wheels whitewall slicks and fronts, dechromed dropped front axle, no hood, went with a teal green which is close to a stock 40 color. Done up '60's Hot Rod style, simple understated forty.
For a model kit that's been around since the early 60's it can be built up to make a really nice 40 DeLuxe, same with the Tudor Sedan.
Skip added a post in a topic New issue just hit my mail boxSounds like we have the same mailman, or maybe brothers! Most of the time our mailman gets everything in the box. Just likes to shred everything as he's putting it in there, probably reasons that it fits better. Not kidding either, this guy regularly tears the cover off of magazines, large, small it doesn't matter. I suspected that it was just lousy handling along the way, until the last issue of Rod &Custom had 75% of the back cover torn off, there were parts of cover wedged between the wall and floor section of the box!! To his defense he is running two Rural Mail Routes and the post office isn't hiring anyone so everyone is running their bunz off!!
Skip added a post in a topic Replicas & Miniatures Co. Of MarylandR & M of Maryland, is the bar that all other resin casters are measured by. Norm is busy every time I've ordered from him, that's a good thing too he is able to support his small business with our orders. You get your order in, get in line in the orders while Norm casts each to order. You are getting fresh resin cast parts every time. Normal turnaround is 3 - 6 +/- weeks depending on backlog ahead of your order.
Norm's quality control is 110+% great, flash is zero to none or about what you'd expect from styrene. I normally like to order with a larger order every time figuring if I'm going to make an order that it may as well be worth Norm's time, ($150 +) per order. I figure that if we don't support the really good resin casters well that they will go under just like too many of the early guys did. Not to mention, Norm is just plain good, honest people who stands behind his work!
In fact I have an order in the mail right now, should be here by Monday. I'm beginning to salivate already!!
Skip added a post in a topic What to do with instructions?Even if you put them on eBay you could always scan them and send the scan to the Drastic Plastic site so they can get them online. I've been helped in the past by the hosted instruction sheets so I'm a big proponent of helping the clubs who host them.
BTW In the tips section I have started a thread with links to Revell and Drastic Plastic's Instruction Sheets, so if you have any more links to clubs or manufacturers who have instructions online add them please.
Skip added a post in a topic '25 TALL T Show & GoAbsolutely love the look of an Un-Chopped Model T Coupe, for some reason they look better to me than one with a Mailbox Slot Chop, they don't look all that bad with a real mild chop say 4 - 6 inches. Like the purple glass sets it apart, gives it a '60's flavor as do the wheels and tires, they would set this one apart as a higher end built Hot Rod of say magazine quality. Just like now custom wheels cost a bit go money which is why you see so many Hot Rods even really nice ones running Chrome Reverse Wheels. Your stance looks right on the money! Keep it up on this one.
Skip added a topic in Tips, Tricks, and TutorialsWhere to find Model Kit InstructionsPlease include any links to copies of model car instructions whether on the Manufacturer's Website such as the ones on Revell's website.
Suggest that if you have instructions laying around that you contact the Clubs who host them on their websites to see what kind of format they accept copies of instruction sheets. Helps us all out.

http://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html These instructions are also the manuals.hobico.com mentioned.
I found the instruction for the supercharged 312 on the Revell website of all places, looked like the the 57 Ford Custom would have included the McCuloch supercharger but it didn't at least by the instructions it doesn't. The Mac' Supercharger was included in the jFireball Robertts version, I would have thought the other way around.

Guess this something we need to look at creating is a list of urls which have instructions for model kits, which needs to include club sites like Drastic Plastic who has scanned instructions on their website.
Skip added a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers'57 Ford McCuloch Blower Instructions.I have the Revell '57 Del Rio kit which includes the complete McCuloch Blower from the Fairlane kit as well. Does anyone have the assembly instructions for the blower to add to the Del Rio?

Skip added a post in a topic Working with .9mm rivetsHere's what I used the first time I saw those Micromark Pick Up Sticks:
Glue Dot - sliced in quarters or thirds.
Stick - use either a toothpick or a used Microbrush stick, strip off the brush part off it leaves a really sharp pointed tip.
Assembly - Stick the cut portion of the Glue Dot onto either the Toothpick or Microbrush Tip. KEEP FINGERS CLEAR!
Usage - Pick up the small part onto the Glue Dot, place on model as required. Keep Fingers Clear!
Skip added a post in a topic Has anyone here used liquid paper on vinyl tire letters?Years ago an older modeling friend told me they were using a mix of Artist's Gesso and White Acrylic paint, which may have been out of the tube back then. (Certainly the craft type acrylics would work.) the Gesso gives a really bright flat white, the Acrylic gives the flexibility for normal assembly handling and installing onto the wheels.
I never used the tip because I wasn't building white walled subjects at the time. I attest to seeing the results of the mix. Unfortunately the benefactor is now modeling in the afterlife so I can't ask hIm. Not certain of the longevity of this trick because I have no idea where his models went. Don't see any reason why it shouldn't work like straight acrylic white, it's just adding more white pigment (Titanium Oxide) solids. I'd start with a 30/70 ratio of gesso/acrylic and work from there.
This is probably a tip that if you do use that you may wish to split the gesso with others if you're not already using it for artwork because of the container size. I think the smallest I've been able to pick up for art projects has been like half-pint. (I'll have to check to see if I still have some gesso that hasn't dried up in the bottle and give this a whirl.)
**If I am not mistaken, White-Out was originally made of gesso mixed with a solvent (MEK) so that it would dry rapidly.**

oh yeah I got the Badger Paint Mixer off of EvilBay for under $10 including shipping
Skip added a post in a topic Bottled Flat Aluiminum Paint - Suggestions?jb always comes up with the good ideas! Years ago when McDonalds had the plastic coffee stirrers that looked like a little spoon. (Coke spoon I heard, never did that though. The carbonation bothers my sinuses!!) Those worked really well for stirring the settled pigment off of the bottom of paint bottles. Now days I use one of those Badger battery operated paint mixers, gets right down there to the bottom of things and really gets the metallic suspended like it originally was.

New technology developed by researchers at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey awarded General Program Prize Paper at American Society for
Reproductive Medicine Annual Meeting
WASHINGTON and MORRISTOWN, N.J., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey (RMA) received the highest award for research at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) for developing a novel technology making it possible to provide accurate, rapid analysis of all 46 human chromosomes from a single cell taken from a human embryo. The ASRM Prize Paper Award is awarded to the most significant research in the field of human reproduction each year. This new technology makes it possible for the first time to fully evaluate the genetic make up of human embryos in a time frame which allows clinicians and scientists to use that information to help improve pregnancy rates, reduce miscarriage risk, and decrease the risk of some major congenital anomalies such as Down syndrome.
This procedure, known as "Accurate 23 chromosome aneuploidy screening in human blastomeres using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)," provides fertility specialists for the first time with a rapid and accurate technique to assess the genetic normality of human embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The results of this research effort were presented this week at the
American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) meeting and were awarded
the General Program Prize Paper Award, the highest award provided by this
international professional society. Nathan Treff, Ph.D., lead author on the
study and a researcher in molecular genetics at RMA, delivered the results
in an oral presentation. "Accurate and rapid identification of
chromosomally- abnormal (aneuploid) embryos within hours after embryo
biopsy will provide physicians with the ability to select embryos for
transfer to the uterus based on a far more compl

Welcome to Lillyloch.co.uk, the website of Clarkston Angling Club.
Since being Established in 1982, we have ran The Lilly Loch, which is located at Hillend, just 10 minutes drive from Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. The loch is a popular trout fishing location amongst many local anglers, and is conveniently situated for those anglers travelling from other areas throughout the central belt by road or rail.
The loch is stocked regularly throughout the season with rainbow trout and can be fished using a number of methods. Boats are also available for fly fishing, along with a section of the loch which is dedicated to fly anglers.
We hope that this website provides you with all the information you need about Clarkston Angling Club and fishing at The Lilly Loch, such as how to find us, ticket prices, competition dates and fishing methods. If you have any further questions, please use our Enquiries page, and we will respond to your questions as quickly as possible.

Found this online..A picture of an idyllic landscape, with a river and islands in the shape of a heart is showing up on various forums, social network postings and private websites. While there is a Heart River in North Dakota, there appears to be no other picture or map evidence of any heart shaped island along this river. The landscape shown doesn't much look like North Dakota. The picture most likely is a photoshopped image from a totally different location.

So I'm really into the whole waterbirthing idea but am not sure who the best providers are in the Central Florida Area. Currently we live in Apopka in Orange County but are moving to either Mt. Dora, Oviedo or Lady Lake. I would really love being able to do it at home with a DOULA and a home birthing tub but with my HG I think it may be out of the question. Also being a FTM I have lots of fears about something going wrong during labor and would like to be in a hospital in case emergency care is needed.
Also how do I know if I qualify to have a safe waterbirth? My doc now is useless (I'm currently 'interviewing' new ones) he tells me nothing about the pregnancy at my appointments and rarley answers my questions. He also doesn't belive in water births and told me if he was delivering I couldn't have one.

editor's review
Gamelan is a software program capable of playing audio tracks of multiple formats, namely MP3, WAV and MID. It can be handled by users of any level of experience, even novices.
This is a portable application, so installing Gamelan is not required. It means that you can save the tool to a USB flash drive or other similar device, store it on any computer and directly run its executable file.
What's more important is that the Windows Registry is not updated with new entries, and no leftover files can be found on the hard drive after program removal.
The interface of the application is based on small window with a standard layout. Unfortunately, the frame needs some serious improvements in the visual department.
So, you can use the folder view to load one or more songs into the audio player. Therefore, you can create, save and load playlists. Gamelan supplies you with some standard audio player functions. For example, you can check out the current time, enable repeat mode, and play the first, last, previous or next song.
The simple-to-use program runs on a very low quantity of CPU and system memory, so it is not a concern to the computer's performance. It has a good response time and worked smoothly during our testing, without hanging, crashing or popping up error dialogs.
On the downside, Gamelan has limited features. For instance, you cannot enable shuffling mode or navigate back and forth within the current track. However, we must take into account the fact that Gamelan has never been updated.

GNU FDL Version 1.3 Improves Compatibility
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has released version 1.3 of its GNU Free Documentation License improving compatibility with certain Creative Commons licenses.
With the revision GNU FDL 1.3 licensed material can be relicensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) version 3.0 license. The license conditions require attributions to the author and/or licensor and that any modifications made to the product remain under the same or another compatible license.
Changes to the license can be traced back to a query from the Wikimedia Foundation, with its many Wikipedia publications in numerous languages, probably the largest user of the FDL. Brett Smith, responsible for license adherence at Wikimedia explains the problem:"Wikis often import material from a wide variety of sources, many of which use the CC-BY-SA license. Wikipedia, however, uses the GNU FDL. The incompatibility between these two licenses has been an obstacle to moving material back and forth between these sites. The new provision of FDL version 1.3 will give Wikipedia and other wikis another chance to choose the licensing policies they prefer."
The Wikipedia Foundation will be discussing the relicensing of content under the Creative Commons License in the near future. In his blog, Creative Commons Founder Larry Lessig welcomes the move: "A fundamental flaw in the Free Culture Movement to date is that its most important element -- Wikipedia -- is licensed in a way that makes it incompatible with an enormous range of other content in the Free Culture Movement."
The GNU FDL basically remains a license for software handbooks. The complete text to the license and a FAQ list for version 1.3 can be viewed at the GNU Project website.
The FSF is also working on version FDL 2.0, which should bring even more significant changes. The organization invites discussion and comments of the pros and cons of version 3.0 of the software license GPL on the GPLv3 website.

Interest in Deep Anadarko Basin Natural Gas Wells Bought
Fears, Ronda, THE JOURNAL RECORD
Interests in 20 natural gas wells in the Deep Anadarko Basin in western Oklahoma have been sold to Apache Corp. of Denver for $6 million.
The purchase brings Apache's holdings in Oklahoma to interests in 54 wells in Oklahoma, company spokeswoman Karen Mueller said. She said Apache operates 10 percent of the rig count in Oklahoma.
Dutcher & Co. Inc., an Oklahoma City consulting and property management firm, represented the seller, Heafitz Energy Management of New York. Dutcher continues to manage interests in more than 100 oil and gas properties for Heafitz, an energy investment company.
Prior to purchasing interests in the 20 wells in the Southeast Berlin Field in Beckham County and Northeast Carpenter Field in Custer County, Apache had working interests in 34 wells in the Berlin field, Mueller said. She said Apache's latest production figures for Oklahoma totals 8,800 barrels of oil per day and 205 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Of the 20 wells involved in the purchase, Apache had previously held working interests in 16 and operated 14, Mueller said.
In the Mid-Continent region, which encompasses Oklahoma, Mueller said Apache has 1,407 gross wells, or 312 net wells, and operates 236 net wells. . .

Stowe Boyd has been reading Sim',Dave,and me...:Thepoint that is missed by the Lotus Notes advocates is that people want tobe able to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate with anyone, not justthose who are using the same programs as them. That's why email was thekiller app of Web 1.0 -- it worked that way. And Notes has fallen by thewayside, an asterisk in the collaboration chronicles, but all being said,not really very successful -- aside from the acquisition by IBM as a counterto Microsoft's enterprise email dominance. An asterisk? How does a product get mentioned as one of the "tenmost important products of the 1990s"if it is only an "asterisk"? And how could you describe a productthat is growing double-digits (over the last several reported quarters),that has 61,000 global customers today, and that is the basis for literallymillions of collborative applications as "not really very successful"? Stowe seems to have missed the chapter in Notes history, ten years ago,where Domino made Notes applications available via web browser (and now,in Domino 7, via web services). It hasn't been the case for a verylong time that it only works for "those who are using the same programs". The classic example, from wayback in 1998, is Chrysler'sSCORE application, which involved their suppliers in saving billions ofUS dollars. Many of the Notes successesover the years are extranet types of scenarios. There's also theelement of surfacing Domino applications in portals or WebSphere applications,another way of extending them (which, too, has been available for manyyears). Putting aside the past history, Notes is about to be reinvented, yet again,for the next generation of collaboration. One of the major objectivesof Notes"Hannover" is aplatform for "composite" applications, expanding its reach beyondDomino server applications. Notes, in this scenario, will be ableto leverage/surface componentized collaboration services. You'llbe hearing more about this (and seeing it) in the weeks ahead. Now the last bit is that Stowe believesThe right thingto do is to build collaboration into the apps that people are using. Orbuild small, focused collaborative apps that do one thing right. This isone of the lessons of Web 2.0.Yes, the vision of "contextualcollaboration" has been in the industry for several years now. Partof the promise of Web Services and SOA is to do exactly this. Butbuilding small, focused collaborative apps that do one thing right -- theindustry actually tried that over the last several years, and it hasn'texactly worked out. Think of Zaplets, or Kubi's 1.0 incarnation,or Radnet, or tons of other single-purpose collaboration tools that haven'tgone anywhere. I remain hopeful that it will come out of the currentand future work from IBM, Microsoft, or left field -- but I doubt thatthe idea of a rich, integrated client will fade anytime soon.Link: CoranteGet Real: Lotus Notes sucks>

Karate-Kicking Airbus Executive Unlocks Boeing's Japan Grip
Stephane Ginoux, Airbus SAS's head of Japan, is taking the endurance and Zen calm that he gained as a master of martial arts to the planemaker's toughest market.
The 43-year-old Frenchman was deployed by the Toulouse, France-based aircraft maker less than a year ago to chip away at the dominance in Japan that Boeing Co. built up over six decades. While Airbus leads its rival globally, the European company has a market share of less than 5 percent in Japan, the world's third-largest economy after the U.S. and China, and home to Haneda Airport, the fifth-busiest airport globally.
Boeing's stumbles on its 787 Dreamliner jet, now three years behind schedule, will drive Japanese customers to Airbus and help win the endorsement of local subcontractors that traditionally shunned Airbus as the risky upstart, Ginoux said. His first success was to sell four A380 superjumbos to Japanese discount carrier Skymark Airlines Inc. last month.
"Clearly I think we can aspire to a bigger role in Japan," Ginoux said in an interview earlier this month. "You can't be in a rush, you have to be available, keep your promises to build confidence. In Japan, one is judged for duration; being brilliant for a year doesn't work."
'Only Failure'
Japan remains an anomaly for Airbus, which leapfrogged Boeing in global deliveries in 2003 and has held that lead every year since. Sales Chief John Leahy called Airbus's shortcomings in Japan "my only failure," and Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders said last month he's been "frustrated" with business in the country. Airbus is a unit of European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co.
Boeing's ties to Japan stretch back to the country's post-World War II reconstruction, and local manufacturers have traditionally played a major role on aircraft for the Chicago-based company.
Japanese companies designed and supplied 35 percent of the structure of the 787, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. supplying the wings and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. and Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. building part of the front fuselage section and center wing boxes.
The record level of work for Japanese suppliers coincided with Japan's airlines being among the Dreamliner's top clients. All Nippon Airways Co. placed the first order for the model in 2004, for 50 planes, and Japan Airlines Corp. ordered 35.
Deep Ties
"We are proud of our long and deep ties with Japan," said Mike Tull, a Boeing spokesman, in an e-mailed statement. "It's natural that competitors would target this important market and gratifying that they're emulating our model of partnership to achieve some successes."
The three Japanese contractors also supplied 20 percent of parts for Boeing's 777 in the early 1990s and 15 percent on the earlier 767. Japanese airlines were major customers for both.
"During the decades after the postwar occupation, the U.S.-Japanese ties have remained very strong," said Bertrand Grabowski, the board member in charge of aviation at DVB Bank in Frankfurt. Bringing change will be "very difficult," he said.
Ginoux is well-versed in the ways of Japanese business. He has lived in the country for two decades after moving at the age of 25 at the behest of the French Ministry of Finance. Before becoming head of Airbus Japan last July, he was chief of EADS's Eurocopter business in Japan, a post he still occupies. He logs long office hours, often past midnight. In his scarce free time, Ginoux practices judo and karate, where he holds the black belt, and explores remote Japanese islands, he said.
'Mature Market'
Japan is the seventh-largest market for international travelers worldwide, according to the International Air Transport Association. Airbus on March 7 raised its demand forecast for the Asia-Pacific region, set to be the biggest market for air travel, as economic growth stokes business and leisure flights.
Airbus under Ginoux is aiming for a 20 percent market share with Japanese airlines in the first five years of his tenure, and 50 percent over the long term to match Airbus's global presence. On the industrial side, Ginoux aims to increase Japanese content on future planes to as much as 20 percent.
"Japan is a mature market with lots of people who fly regularly, with lots of disposable income to fly, plus it's one of the next arenas for low-cost carriers," said Paul Sheridan, an analyst at London-based aviation consultant Ascend.
Airbus had asked Japanese companies some years ago to join as risk-sharing partners on the A380 superjumbo and offered an 8 percent share of the plane. Its overture was largely spurned, with companies there taking up less than 4 percent of the work.
Airbus Suppliers
Still, the European company has managed to recruit some Japanese suppliers, including Mitsubishi Heavy, which makes lower-deck cargo doors for the A380, the Japanese industrial group's only Airbus airframe program. Jamco Corp., a Tokyo-based aircraft components maker, manufactures vertical stabilizers.
"We expect Airbus to use more of our products and more Japanese products from other makers as well," said Yuzuru Funahashi, Jamco vice president.
Teijin Ltd., which makes synthetic fibers, said it welcomes an increase in Airbus orders in a bid to differentiate itself from local competitors. Kaoru Fujii, a group manager at Teijin's carbon-fiber unit, said he would "leave no stone unturned" to meet Airbus's demands.
Conversely, local subcontractors have suffered from Boeing's delays on the Dreamliner. Nikkiso Co., a Tokyo-based maker of carbon-fiber parts, said orders at its aerospace business dropped 9 percent in the year ended March 31, 2010, after Boeing called for cutting output and strikes crimped production.
Rise of A350
"With the volatility caused by Dreamliner delays, it seems logical for the Japanese heavies to diversify their order backlog," said William Montgomery, an analyst at MFA Global FXA Securities Ltd. in Tokyo. "It makes business sense for them to keep their factories at higher rates of utilization."
ANA, Japan's largest listed carrier and Boeing's biggest Dreamliner customer, said it expects to receive in August the first 787 delivered to a carrier.
Ginoux remains optimistic that he can break ground with the A380 in Japan, even as flagship carrier Japan Air has never ordered a single Airbus plane and ANA has directly ordered just three Airbus planes in the past five years.
He argues that non-Japanese carriers, including Singapore Airlines Ltd. and Air France KLM Group, landing their A380s in Japan will drum up interest among passengers for the world's largest commercial aircraft.
Airbus's A350 wide-body jet, whose larger variants will take on the Boeing 777 that is popular with Japanese carriers, may help whittle Boeing's dominance, said Richard Aboulafia, vice president of Fairfax, Virginia-based Teal Group, an aviation advisory firm. The A350 is slated to fly in 2013.
"People have this image of Japan being conservative, never changing, but in fact it is capable of change," Aboulafia said. "Change just comes slowly. If Airbus gets the A350 right, he's going to find that the Japanese market is more willing to listen."
