Perenco holds a 50% interest in Block 67 in the Marañón Basin, located in the north east of the Loreto region, along with the Vietnamese national company PVEP. To date, three discoveries have been made, giving a total of 200 million barrels of 2P certified reserves. Piraña and Dorado fields have been put on stream in November 2013.
Perenco in Peru
Perenco's project in Peru – declared of national importance in April 2009 - is key to the country's future oil production in the Maranon basin. This innovative infrastructure uses centrifugation of water-in-crude and full re-injection of the production water. Drilling and construction techniques used during first phase of development included the re-injection of the drilling cuttings, casing drilling, zaplock for pipeline installation.
The complete future development plan includes the drilling of circa 200 wells of deviated and horizontal architecture from 18 platforms of minimum footprint, the extension of the current processing facilities, and the installation of one buried export pipeline to tie in to the existing Nor Peruano pipeline at Andoas, 200 km SE from Block 67.
Since its early steps, a dedicated communities' development plan has been integrated to the project and a continuous dialogue with the communities neighboring site was maintained. This program is part of the transparency commitment and the social and environmental development act signed with these communities.
Many local, regional and international contracts have been put in place to
ensure compliance with the highest international standards.
Perenco holds a 50% interest in Block 67 in the Marañon Basin, located in the north east of the Peru Loreto region, along with the Vietnamese national company PVEP. The discoveries have given a total of 200 million barrels of 2P reserves certified in 2014. Following construction of new facilities as per latest international technical and environmental standards , Piraña and Dorado fields have been put on stream in November 2013 to reach a crude production of 6,000 bopd till beginning of year 2015.
In 2015 and under the context of degrading crude price environment, a strategy of controlled reduction of production has been implemented alongside with adjustments on the development investment planning - in order to control the production costs while fully ensuring the technical standards. During the year 2015 the production plateau was set between 850 and at 1,650 bopd crude oil.
Since 2008, the Buena Vista Community
and Perenco Peru have completed
some exceptional projects.
- The Buena Vista Community
- Projects
- Non-Contacted Tribe Claim
The Buena Vista Community is a small village in one of the most remote areas of the Peruvian rain forest, which can only be reached by a six day barge trip from Iquitos. In this pristine forest, the community has to deal with poor access to education, minimal health care services and inadequate job opportunities.
However, Buena Vista is extremely keen to enhance its economic and social credentials by becoming an active participant in the local market and between other communities.
In 2008 when Perenco Peru started activities in Block 67, 53 km from the border of the community, a partnership was established to enable BuenaVista to achieve its vision of development. By working across many areas including education, health, agriculture and breeding, employment, environment protection and empowerment the company has helped Buena Vista on its journey to alleviate poverty in its community.
Since 2008, the Buena Vista Community and Perenco Peru have completed some exceptional projects.
Old deforested areas have been replanted with vegetable and fruit crops, and families have been trained in modern techniques for cultivating minor species. Currently, these are for their own consumption and trade, broadening the range of food available to consume locally whilst improving their nutrition.
A Perenco sponsored clinic barge named Pastaza visits the community every two months to provide a healthcare service. Currently, healthcare professionals from the Regional Government of Loreto deliver this service and educate the community on a range of healthcare issues.
The company is offering employment opportunities on Block 67. The challenge of helping Buena Vista is supported by both Perenco Peru and the community itself. The end goal will demonstrate the commitment of both parties to ensure the clear benefits are sustainable.
Evidence can only be established when there is a coherent array of verified facts established through a scientific multi-disciplinary methodology.
Background Information
Since at least 1995 when the Block 67 was awarded, there has been extensive human activity in the area of Block 67. Despite this, there has been no evidence of non-contacted tribes within Block 67. A first extensive seismic survey was conducted in 1997. This involved a team of several hundreds of local employees walking the length and breadth of Block 67 over several months. It also involved extensive aerial coverage of the Block 67 area. At that time the Block was eight times larger than it now is and today, Perenco's focus is on an areas less than 0.5% of the current reduced area of the block.
Whilst the closest community to Block 67 is located 30 km away (see B67 map of the region and B67 project influence area), communities living from between 30km and 60km from the Block 67 are known to use the area in order to hunt, gather food and collect wood. Furthermore, the army also regularly patrols this region which is near the borders with Ecuador and Colombia.
Despite all this activity, no evidence of non-contacted tribes was reported in the Block 67 area.
In Peru oil and gas activities are today strictly regulated by the Hydrocarbon Law. This regulatory regime controls all aspects of oil and gas activities, in order to limit socio-environmental impacts. The regulation imposes the rules under which oil and gas activities have to be conducted in non-contacted.reserves. (see Peru useful links).
Multi-disciplinary study
Upon acquiring the rights to explore and develop Block 67 early in 2008, Perenco commissioned a comprehensive study to establish the possibility of indigenous human activity in the area. The study involved a panel of 24 experts from the following institutions:
Daimi, a consulting company with expertise in socio-environmental matters with considerable experience in this area in Peru and Ecuador Indepa: the governmental body in charge of the protection of the indigenous population of Peru The University of San Marcos in Lima The Amazon University of Loreto in Iquitos. The 4 institutions multi-disciplinary study concluded the following:
The field work conducted shows that there is no physical evidence of non-contacted tribes in the Block 67 area. There is no indication of transhumance, which is a determining factor for the existence or non-existence of non-contacted indigenous populations. There is no sign that shows the subsistence activities in the jungle of a non-contacted tribe (hunting tools, huts, corn fields...).
Aidesep claim
Aidesep, an NGO formed in the 1980s, did not oppose the oil and gas activities in Block 67 for an initial 12 year period. It does not oppose oil and gas activities in blocks overlapping several existing non-contacted tribe reserves. In 2003 Aidesep presented a request for a non-contacted tribe reserve in the Block 67 area, the "Napo Tigre proposal". In 2005 Aidesep produced a report called "Aidesep Expediente Tecnico (part I, part IIa, part IIb, part III )" for this request and in 2007 Aidesep presented a claim rejecting all oil and gas activities in Block 67.
Indepa rejection report
Indepa is the Governmental body in charge of the protection of indigenous populations. A special commission, led by Indepa was created in March 2009. The Commission is in charge of the evaluation of non-contacted tribes reserve proposals. The reserve proposal was dismissed by the Indepa technical report issued by the Commission on 24/06/09 on the grounds that no scientific evidence of the existence of non-contacted tribe in the area had been presented by Aidesep.
Courts verdicts
Perenco has won in two instances a claim presented by Aidesep to block all oil activities in their proposed Napo Tigre non-contacted tribe reserve. An extract of the verdict states: "evidence presented by Aidesep does not demonstrate the existence of indigenous tribe in voluntary isolation in the blocks 67 and 39."
Both verdicts declared the claim of Aidesep to be groundless (First instance verdict / Second instance verdict).
A similar claim was filed in June 2008 by Orpio, a subsidiary of Aidesep. In this instance a public hearing was held in July 2009, which Orpio did not attend, nor did they request a different day to present their case to the Judge. In February 2010, the Superior Court dismissed the claim as void of grounds. Orpio has not appealed within the term granted by law, which means that they have accepted the sentence (see sentence attached).
Finally, in June 2010, in third and final instance, the Constitutional Court unanimously resolved to declare "...UNFOUNDED..." the claim filed by Aidesep given that "(...) the existence of the community in voluntary isolation or uncontacted has not been demonstrated (...)".
Additional information
On the subject of non-contacted tribes, an article published in the French newspaper "Liberation" sets out some further information on the issue. The respected Peruvian anthropologist, Carlos Mora, has produced notes on the Aidesep "Expediente Tecnico".
Finally, although there is no evidence of the existence of non-contacted tribe in the Block 67 area, and at the request of the authorities in charge of approving the Environmental Impact Studies, we are applying, through the incorporation of an Anthropological Contingency Plan, precautionary measures similar to the ones used in different cases where, to the contrary of our case, evidence of the existence of non-contacted tribes might have been accepted.

I just finished "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson for the second time. I started Michael Shermer's "Why People Believe Weird Things" this morning.
And my to read list keeps growing:
Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
Reamde - Neal Stephenson
Super Freakonomics
Glory Road - Heinlein
Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
Satanic Bible
Views: 644
Of course my list is likely to grow much larger as I see what everyone else is reading.
My own personal reading list, or books I would recommend:
The Religion Virus - James A. Craig
The Bible Unearthed - Israel Finklestein and Neil Silberman
The Devil's Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce
H.L. Mencken on Religion - H.L. Mencken (edited by S.T. Joshi)
Inherit the Wind - Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
The Anatomy of Revolution - Crane Brinton
The Last Place on Earth - Roland Huntford and Paul Theroux (Nothing to do with theism, morals, or ethics, but just one hell of a true adventure story about the race to be the first to reach the South Pole).
I've read Dawkins, Sam Harris, Hitchens, Hemant. I want to read more but I'm trying to keep my list to a reasonably length. It would probably help if I'd stay away from the 1000 page monsters from Neal Stephenson.
Good info on the Satanic Bible. I'll look for the Devil's Dictionary instead.
I wish I had some better used book stores near me. I really, really miss Half Priced Books.
It could have been a better experience if the manager hadn't been such a lying, game-playing, nepotistic bitch
Too funny!
And the library isn't a great option either. No way I can get through that list of books without a good bit of late fees. Even in the winter!
Libraries are really just glorified book brothels where the whores are free unless you bring em home late.
I may steal that.
Glory Road is great fun, among a long list of Heinlein favorites of mine.
Got any dragons you want killed?!?
I just finished Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. If you haven't read it, think of a Harry Potter type novel written by Dean Koontz.
If you liked Miss Peregrine, you should read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. . .it's in the same vein but I dare say even better. . .
On the last 2 chapters on Carl Sagan's last written book before he passed away: "Billions & Billions"
I'd recommend everyone puts that on their "must read" list! Great book.
I just finished the Tea Party Guide To Being a Real American. Very funny book and I love the way the author, Roland Boyle, presented the story from the view of 'this book feels' 'this book thinks'.
Junior Teabaggers:
"Teabaggers are the opposite of poets: they're made, not born. Sure, there may be a genetic predisposition toward anti-government sentiment, conspiracy theories, and misspelled protest signs, but we can't depend on even the shallowest gene pool to do all the work in producing junior members of the Tea Party. That's like asking our ancestors for a handout. We have to work to put the fear of God and hatred of liberals into kids."
Recently, I saw a documentary about Gene Sharp's 'From Dictatorship to Democracy' but haven't been able to find it for my iPad. I would really like to read this.

Stock outboard racers from all over the country, Canada and even Ecuador will be powering through the water over two days of racing covering 87 miles on Northern Michigan's inland waterway at the 65th Annual Top O' Michigan Marathon Nationals Saturday and Sunday.
Stock outboard racers from all over the country, Canada and even Ecuador will be powering through the water over two days of racing covering 87 miles on Northern Michigan's inland waterway at the 65th Annual Top O' Michigan Marathon Nationals Saturday and Sunday. The longest-running marathon in the country, the race was born in 1949 and has transformed from a local race to a nationally ranked race in the 1960s with several hundred boaters registered. A racer himself and club commodore for the event, Dave Umbarger said the national event, which begins each day at Indian River's DeVoe Beach on Burt Lake, is considered by many in the industry to be the world's toughest outboard race course. "This is a one of a kind event. It is an open course that takes and hour to an hour and 15 minutes. Most courses take about 20 minutes and go round and round in a circle. This is a very special event," said Umbarger. In addition to the stock outboard runabouts, there will be two-man, super-light tunnel, inflatable boats. Both divisions have multiple classes. Drivers must register their boats through the American Power Boat Association. The registration for the race is tonight, 6-8 p.m., at The Breakers Bar in Topinabee. On Sunday, there will be an awards presentation at the Inn Between in Indian River. The public is welcome to both events. Umbarger said it is the only race he is aware of where the river is closed to general traffic while the race is conducted. The Cheboygan County Sheriff's Department, the Tuscarora Township Police Department and the United States Coast Guard will all be patrolling the inland waterways during the two-days. "It is real unique. You get the crap beat out of you. There river is closed and it's real fun. The competition is phenomenal. … Yes, in racing there is definitely some danger. But these are real experienced racers," said Umbarger. Saturday's 43-mile race roars off at noon from DeVoe Beach through Indian River, across Mullet Lake and through the Cheboygan River, turning around at the Cheboygan locks and heading back to DeVoe Beach. On Sunday, the 44-mile course sets off from the same starting point, across Burt Lake and up the lake's western shore to the Crooked River. From there, racers enter Crooked Lake and hit two check points before returning and going through Indian River to Mullet Lake where they turn around and head back to DeVoe Beach. In addition, a Juniors Class Stock Runabout will run an abbreviated cours at around 12:30 p.m. Saturday after the other racers have all left DeVoe Beach. Umbarger said youngsters start at 9-years-old and race with motors that are restricted in speed and are safe. The combination of lakes and riverways, winding turns, rough waters, hidden stumps, sand bars and other racers makes for an extremely challenging undertaking. Points are tallied each day, and the racer with the highest number at the end of two days of racing is crowned the national champion. Umbarger said the Indian River is closed from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. both days. The event can be viewed along the shoreline of the course anywhere. Boat launches are popular locations for viewing. Marina Park in Indian River is usually packed with onlookers People who arrive around 11 p.m. can get into DeVoe Beach to mingle with racers, see the boats and motors close up and watch the start and finish of the event. Those viewing at the beach must sign a waiver and will get a wrist band so they can come and go. Food concessions will be available along with event T-shirts for purchase. No alcohol is allowed. The event draws a lot of people to Indian River so parking is limited, certain side roads will be closed down, so visitors should be prepared to walk a certain distance.

Everything is cyclical, or so it seems. Fashion, politics, the moon, rondo formÑalmost anything can be boiled down to cycles, if you think broadly enough.
Orchestras have their own characteristic cycles. The obvious one is seasonal: the surge of excitement in the fall; the settling into a comfortable rhythm that lasts through the spring; the wrap-up; the summer break, with its lighter load. (For many orchestras, the summer side of the cycle means a festival or two; see SYMPHONY's annual directory of summer festivals beginning on page 38.)
A much broader orchestra cycle, lasting years, involves the tenure of a music director: the new appointment, the honeymoon, the maturing of a relationship between conductor and musicians, the search for a successor, the new appointment, the honeymoonÉand so it goes.
Every once in a great while, several of these broad cycles fall into a chance alignment, with fascinating consequences. Such an alignmentÑon a seismic scale, is underway right now, as a dozen of AmericaÕs most prominent podiums are changing hands (feet?) at very nearly the same time. Nothing comparable has ever taken place before. A couple of years ago, in anticipation, critics indulged in much hand wringing and consternation: Would there be enough top-tier conductors to fill the demand? Were today's conductors too green to handle major music directorships? Were enough Americans being considered? Et cetera.
With the wisdom of hindsight, those anguished queries have an overwrought ring. To understand why, one need only recall a few revered names of the past. (Stokowski and Bernstein were hardly seasoned artists before their major appointments in Cincinnati and New York.) Moreover, "top-tier" conductors like Sawallisch and Dohnányi weren't recognized as such on these shores until after they demonstrated their stature to the world from the helms of their high-profile American orchestras. And yes, in the recent flurry of conductor searches, Americans were seriously considered and, in several cases, chosen.
(The hand-wringers came close to identifying one important challenge, though. The demand for highly trained conductors is increasing, since America has many more professional orchestras than a generation ago. In this environment, itÕs all too clear that this country lacks an adequate infrastructure of its own for advanced conductor training.
Right now, the convergence of these music director cycles is at its height, and most of the openings announced in the last few years have been filled. A few honeymoons are in full swing (Spano in Atlanta, Järvi in Cincinnati, Graf in Houston, Delfs in St. Paul) even as several orchestras (Minnesota, New Jersey, and, next season, Philadelphia) bid their departing music directors a fond farewell. Sadly, as this issue of SYMPHONY goes to press, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra's cycle is coming to an unexpected end; Hans Vonk's distinguished work there has been cut short by his mysterious illness (see page 8). And in another lamentable development, a dark cloud now hangs over the end of Charles Dutoit's tenure with the Montreal Symphony, as he takes his leave just before what was planned as his 25th-anniversary season. The dispute that led to his departure must not be allowed to obscure a laudable legacy of concerts and recordings.
In Boston, Cleveland, and New York, last-minute love fests are buoying the farewell seasons of three leading maestri. We look back on the significant accomplishments of Christoph von Dohnányi, Kurt Masur, and Seiji Ozawa in this issue of SYMPHONY. As for the future, hopes are riding high for their successors, all highly accomplished artists with very different ways of making music. The same goes for such promising engagements as Osmo Vänskä in Minnesota and Christoph Eschenbach in Philadelphia. Listening to the transition will be an absorbing pastime, as each orchestra adapts to the strengths and preferences of a new leader.
A large-scale shift like this won't happen again anytime soon so pay attention while it lasts.

It has a campy 8 speed Record Titanium rear derailleur, record cranks,record brakes,record front derailleur, record hubs,record headset, Campy seat post,and Campy Moskva 80 hp rims.
The headstem is a profile with corrosion.
I want to sell it and give him the money as I was given it from an old Mate for doing some trenching at his horse property.
We use to ride together back in the nineties but he has hardly ridden this bike.
He bought it almost new from a local bike shop mechanic.
I have lusted after this for a long time but it is too small for me and I have an em mx leader from the same vintage.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Palestinian mobs took to the streets Thursday after a female Israeli soldier shot and killed a young Palestinian man who had threatened one of her subordinates with what turned out to be a fake gun.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night in the Judean town of Hebron.
The Palestinian man came to the Israeli army checkpoint outside the Cave of the Patriarchs, and handed over his ID card as requested. The female officer at the center of the scandal went inside to run a background check, and after returning found the Arab choking one of her soldiers and holding a hand gun to his head.
Acting instinctively, the officer said she looked for a clean shot that would avoid hitting the other soldier. When such a shot presented itself, she took it. Only in the ensuing investigation of the scene did army officials discover that the gun used by the Arab man was not a real firearm.
Political and army officials defended the officer's actions, insisting that she could not have known the assailant's gun was fake, and certainly should not be expected to risk both her and the other soldier's lives to find out.
But those inconvenient realities, along with the fact that the Palestinian man had initiated the hostile exchange, were brushed aside by Palestinian and foreign antagonists.
Almost immediately, a photograph of the female officer was published on social media websites with calls that she be arrested and tried by international courts for "murder."
Arab websites published graphics featuring the soldier's face and the words "There's no escaping death. You're going down."
In addition to fear for the female officer's life, there are concerns that those Palestinians looking to fan the flames of conflict might use such incidents to spark another intifada.
Meanwhile, Israeli Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz stated that if the Palestinians would stop teaching their children to hate, then such incidents would be far less commonplace.
Katz was responding to a video posted to the Internet in which four young children from Gaza act out the launching of missiles at southern Israel.
"The Palestinians...are continuously teaching their children to hate Israel and instill in them the ways of terror," said Katz, who lamented that if this trend were not reversed, a whole new generation of Palestinians would experience the same failures and hardships as their parents.

Animals Best Friends
Animals Best Friends has two new very sweet rescue dogs that desperately need a home. These boys have had very rough lives and need a family or families who will give them the love and care they so genuinely deserve.
I went to the ABF facility to meet these two young adult boys and was taken aback by their need for attention and affection. They have lived outside most of their lives so they will need someone who is patient and will work with them on house training. Don't let that scare you off! The reward in this type of situation will far exceed the work!!
Kyro is a gentle baby with a coat that is a beautiful brown, gold, tan, and black mix. His face is white from the years spent outside but his heart is pure and his disposition is sweet. Kyro cannot get enough love! Kyro enjoys the company of other dogs and loves people. He is a precious teddy bear who just needs someone to love him!
Tyler is also a gentle baby with a beautiful black coat accented in brown and cream. Tyler isn't sure about people when he first meets them but he warms up to new people soon. Tyler loves attention! Like Kyro, Tyler has spent most of his life outside so he will also need guidance in a loving home. Tyler barked and howled when I quit petting him and Kyro and left their room. I think Tyler would adapt well to an understanding adult.
ABF doesn't know how these boys would be around cats but they seem very gentle. I sat down on the step outside with them and was mobbed by both of them clamoring for attention. Both boys look to be shepherd mixes. My shepherd mix, Meggie, was the sweetest dog I ever had and loyal to the end! At this point Kyro and Tyler need to be with adults or teenagers while they are readjusting to their new environment and the people around them.
If adopting isn't an option for you right now but you have a home and space where you can help, you might consider fostering. ABF would love to find a great foster home for these boys where they can adjust and learn to be the wonderful dogs they are meant to be. If you can, won't you please help? If you can't help please spread the word to your family and friends. ABF takes care of all vet bills and medications for foster dogs.
ABF has even paid for foster dogs to be trained by professionals to help them adjust to a new life. These boys deserve the best and ABF plans to give it to them.

But at the very least I can go cover the figure for everyone!
This is how she looks from the front!
The figure is actually designed to be displayed with her facing backwards... but it looks nice from the front as well! It's a rather strange feeling to not be able to see the figure's face when looking at her from the front, but it's a nice change!
It's not often you see a figure with a face in profile like this!
Getting the posing of this figure right was apparently quite a challenge!
Here is the face from the front!
Oooh.... the more angles you look from the more beautiful she looks!
Getting the figure to look right from the front and the side was apparently quite difficult!
Most figures feature the face at a slight angle or directly from the front, but this one really focuses on getting the posing of the profile face down right. Of course the rest of the figure still looks great as well!
It's also great to be able to see the front of the figure which was never visible on the original illustration... the sculptors have really outdone themselves this time!
But the face definitely isn't the only thing to enjoy!
Look at the detail on her uniform!
Getting her into a pose like this where she is holding up her skirt is hard enough, but even the details on the pleated skirt, and the creases from being held up look so realistic! It looks just like a real skirt!
We can't forget her stationery!
Yet another highlight of the figure!
Every single piece of stationary has such incredible quality!
Let's take a look at them in a little bit more detail...
Look at those thighs!
...I mean... look at that cutter deep inside the skirt!
Can you see the cutter behind the drawing triangle?
Even the details inside the skirt are incredible! That's Good Smile Company for you!!!
The stationery on the right!
This picture was enlarged quite a lot, but it still looks magnificent...The scissors really stand out, but there are also a couple of cutters and even a finer craft knife at the very back!
The stationary on the left!
Look at the detail on those staplers!
And look at the pen on the far left! Even the tip of the cap is painted differently! It's incredible!

Well she can!!!
This 1/8th scale Hitagi Senjougahara...
... comes with two sets of hands!
One to hold her skirt up, and another holding staplers in both hands!
Even if the pose stays the same, it's nice to be able to give the figure a little change of atmosphere like this!
You can pick whichever you prefer when you display her!
This is how the box looks!
This particular packaging is sure to make fans of the anime crack a little smile! Be sure to look all over the box!

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Cheryl A. LaFleur Statement
April 19, 2012
Docket Nos. ER12-1155, ER12-701-000 & ER12-701-001
Item Nos. E-12 & E-13
Implementation of Coordinated Transaction Scheduling (CTS)
I would also like to say a few words about E-12 and E-13, the orders regarding Coordinated Transaction Scheduling (CTS) between NYISO and ISO-NE.
These Orders reflect a joint effort of NYISO and ISO-NE that originated from a 2010 white paper that identified inefficiencies with the current transaction scheduling process between the two regions specifically, under-utilized transmission capacity and uneconomic power flows. These inefficiencies resulted in price disparities between the two regions when the interface between them was unconstrained.
The proposal we approve today addresses the inefficiencies in the current process by scheduling more frequently across the interface, coordinating economic clearing between the two regions, and through the elimination of transaction fees. Potomac Economics projects significant customer savings from this proposal - $129 to $139 million per year across the combined region.
In addition, under the rules that we are accepting today, a review process is built into the tariffs. Under this process, the MMU is required to review the benefits of CTS and if a certain threshold (which qualifies benefits) is triggered, then the two regions will either propose revisions to CTS or seek to implement a different methodology for scheduling external transactions Tie Optimization.
I understand that this effort represents Phase I of a two step process to address energy interchange between ISO-NE and NYISO. Phase II will focus on coordinated congestion management and network modeling. I want to commend NYISO and ISO-NE for recognizing the potential for significant market improvements and for shepherding these improvements through two separate stakeholder processes.
I would also like to thank the FERC teams who worked on these orders.

Weekend Reading: Stan Lee, Alois Nebel, Adam Beechen and Stuntman!
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Reviews, DC Comics, Independent, Marvel Comics,
Whew! What a year! Let's see what the internets hold for the final few days!
Happy birthday to the Funky Flashman himself, Stan Lee, who turns 90. Buzzfeed has his life in pictures.
Here's what I like about the internets: finding a feature length animated film adapting a graphic novel I've never heard of. In this case, it's Alois Nebel, "a Czech feature length animation directed by Tomas Lunak and based on a trilogy of graphic novels by Jaroslav Rudis and Jaromir 99." There's a preview of it at the link.
Adam Beechen talks with Newsarama about Batman Beyond, and beyond.
My pal Richard Pachter reviews a nifty bunch of books including Happy, The Nao of Brown, Building Stories, Marbles, Fashion Beach, and more!

Alexander Skarsgard & Julianne Moore: 'What Maisie Knew' Screening!
Alexander Skarsgard holds his young co-star Onata Aprile in his arms while walking the red carpet at the screening of their film What Maisie Knew on Thursday (May 2) at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City.
The 36-year-old actor was also joined by his co-stars Julianne Moore and Joanna Vanderham, as well as Girls actress Zosia Mamet.
Even though Alex is rumored to be attached to star in the upcoming The Crow remake, he told MTV that it is not true.
"No, I'm not attached to anything right now after True Blood," Alexander said.
FYI: Julianne is wearing a Valentino dress, Tabitha Simmons shoes, Cartier jewels, and Tods clutch. The screening was hosted by The Cinema Society, Tod's, and GQ.

Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Positron Emission Tomography (MRI/PET) in the Staging of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01065415

- How to Read a Study Record
The accurate staging is an essential part for the treatment and prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Whole body MR imaging proved to be effective in staging of NSCLC as much as PET/CT. And there were organs of strength for each modality in the detection of metastasis. Therefore, integrated approach using whole body MR and PET would be more beneficial for the accurate staging of lung cancer with improved diagnostic efficacies and reduced radiation exposure.
The aim of this project is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of side-by-side reading of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging/ positron emission tomography (MRI/PET) and to compare with that of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB MRI) alone and that of integrated PET/CT in determining the stage of NSCLC.
Patients with pathologically-proven NSCLC will be prospectively enrolled, if they are considered as surgical candidates for the treatment of lung cancer through conventional methods of staging, i.e. history taking, physical examination, blood tests, bronchoscopy, and enhanced chest CT scans. PET/CT will be routinely performed for the staging of lung cancer in our institution. For the purpose of this study, whole body MRI will be performed for these patients within 3 days from the date of acquisition of PET/CT. The results of TNM staging from each modality will be collected prospectively and their efficacies can be calculated based on the reference standards. Reference standards of T and N staging will be surgically confirmed. And M staging can be confirmed by biopsy, other imaging modalities, or follow-up more than 6 months.
Diagnostic efficacies of coregistered MRI/PET can be evaluated with the comparison from the consecutive two-arm enrollment with random assignment of control group and study group as follows:
- control group: routine staging work-up with chest CT, PET/CT, and brain MRI
- study group: routine staging work-up plus whole body MRI for Coregistered MRI/PET
|Condition or disease
|Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 75 to 80% of all lung cancers, and is currently the leading cause of tumor-related deaths (1). Optimal lung cancer treatment relies on accurate disease staging, which is based on tumor size and extent, regional nodal involvement, and the presence of metastasis. Although thoracic CT has been considered the standard modality of choice for assessing intrathoracic spread of lung cancer (2), no consensus has been reached concerning metastasis evaluation. [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) was introduced and developed as an integrated modality for accurate nodal staging and for metastatic lesion detection in the whole body (WB) (3-9). Currently, integrated PET/CT, by providing both morphologic and metabolic features, appears to have achieved better efficacy in staging lung cancer than CT alone or PET alone (8, 10).
Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WB MRI) has become feasible and enables fast scan throughout the body (11-13). This technique is based on a real-time gradient-echo imaging and sliding table platform (rolling table concept, which eliminates time-consuming repositioning of patients and surface coils). MRI scanners of the latest generation use high field MRI units of > 1.5 Tesla (T), and are reported to have upgraded capabilities in terms of temporal and spatial resolution due to improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) under high magnetic-field strength conditions (14, 15).
Because both integrated PET/CT and WB MRI can provide WB imaging, both modalities are used for staging in patients with a malignant condition. According to a report (16), the diagnostic efficacy of PET/CT is superior to WB MRI for T and N staging and similar to WB MRI for detecting metastases. However, according to another study (17), WB MRI showed better sensitivity than PET/CT for detecting metastatic lesions. In these studies (16, 17), in which a 1.5T MR unit was used, the regional nodal or metastatic lesions were from various types of primary malignancies with a wide range of tumor stages.
Recently we published a paper regarding the diagnostic efficacy comparison for determining TNM stages of integrated PET/CT and 3T WB MRI in patients with an NSCLC (18). In this study, we found that both PET/CT and 3T whole body MRI appear to provide acceptable accuracy and comparable efficacy for non-small cell lung cancer staging, but in M stage determination, each modality has its own advantages. Namely, WB MRI is more useful for detecting brain and hepatic metastases, whereas PET/CT for lymph node and soft-tissue metastases. Therefore, we suggested whole body MR/PET should be the future imaging modality for NSCLC staging especially for M staging.
Although PET/CT scanners have quickly become established, development of MRI/PET has been slower, due to the additional challenge of developing dual-modality systems that avoid deleterious interactions caused by the high magnetic field environment of the MRI scanner and radiofrequency (RF) interference between the PET and MRI systems. At this moment, MRI/PET is still under development and is used only in small animal study (19). Thus, the purpose of this research is to provide clinical corroborating data to show how effective future MRI/PET will be in human use especially in patients with NSCLC by providing the efficiency of side-by-side reading of WB MRI/PET as compared to PET/CT.

Handling out of Hibs opener
Hibernian winger Daniel Handling is suspended for the Scottish Championship opener against Livingston.
Handling was sent off against Rangers and will miss the visit of Livi along with being banned for his next available Challenge Cup tie.
Head coach Alan Stubbs said: "We've started on a journey here at Hibernian and, although we acknowledge we won't reach our goals immediately, we are making steady progress and hopefully everybody can see that development.
"Saturday's match against Livingston will be a difficult match against a well-organised team in a massively competitive league, but we'll be targeting three points and a positive start to the new campaign."
Livingston will be without former Hibs youngster Brad Donaldson through illness, with manager John McGlynn missing five other players.
Craig Sives is banned and knee injuries have ruled out Kevin Walker and Simon Mensing, while ankle problems keep Nejc Praprotnik and Robert Ogleby on the sidelines.
McGlynn said: "This is a really exciting start to our season and we have been looking forward to this game since the fixtures came out.
"I watched Hibs in midweek against Rangers and I was impressed with them. Alan Stubbs has them playing a nice style of football however we are not going there to admire them play."

Robert Irwin Doesn't Look Like This AT ALL Anymore
The signature bowl cut is no longer on the head of Robert Irwin.
The young Aussie, who has been in the spotlight for his whole life, has been rocking the amazing blonde bowl style for years.
It's become so synonymous with him that everybody loves it.
However, yesterday, out of the blue… it's gone.
Australia Zoo decided to post a snap of Robert on their account, holding a snake (cos why not) and…
What's that?
At #AustraliaZoo we celebrate animals everyday but today especially, we join the rest of the world in raising awareness for animal welfare on #WorldAnimalDay! We're so proud to be working towards making the world a better place for animals of all species, especially those who are fighting extinction. Australia Zoo and @wildlifewarriorsworldwide acquired over 450,000 acres of land dedicated solely to wildlife conservation, including 117,174 acres near St George, where endangered animals like this beautiful woma python call home.

It's going to take some getting used to isn't it!

It was "reported" Wednesday by the NFL Network's Michael Lombardi that Dolphins Consultant Bill Parcells had spoken to owner Stephen Ross and convinced him to retain coach Tony Sparano.
I am reporting today that Parcells has NOT spoken with Ross and obviously has therefore NOT convinced the owner about anything relative to retaining or firing Sparano.
It is logical to believe that a conversation between Parcells and Ross may happen once the season is over. But the season is not over.
It is logical to believe Parcells might back his proteges Sparano and GM Jeff Ireland. But has that happened yet?

Use of the antibiotic clarithromycin (Biaxin) in the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, Danish researchers reported.
In a large cohort study, women who took the drug in the first trimester were 56% more likely to miscarry than those who did not take the drug, according to Jon Traerup Andersen, MD, of Denmark's Copenhagen University Hospital, and colleagues.
Reassuringly, there was no increase in the risk of birth defects, Andersen and colleagues reported online in PLOS ONE.
The drug has been associated with both miscarriage and birth defects in animal studies, and for that reason is not recommended for use by pregnant women, the researchers noted.
But since many pregnancies are unplanned and the drug is widely used, a "substantial number" of women might be at risk, they argued, although data are limited on the extent of that risk.
To help pin down the matter, they looked at 931,504 pregnancies in Denmark – registered between Jan. 1, 1997 and March 31, 2007 – including 705,837 live births, 77,553 miscarriages, and 148,114 induced abortions.
Using a national prescription database that is 97.5% complete, they identified 401 women who were prescribed clarithromycin during the first trimester of their pregnancy.
Among those women, 40 – or 10% -- miscarried, compared with 77,513, or 8.3%, in the unexposed group, they reported. Those numbers yielded an adjusted hazard ratio for miscarriage of 1.56, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.14 to 2.13.
There were 253 live births among the women exposed to clarithromycin and 9 (3.6%) were diagnosed with a major malformation, compared with 24,808 (3.5%) among children born to unexposed mothers. The difference was not significant.
In other analyses, the researchers found:
- No increased risk of miscarriage if clarithromycin was taken in the 12 weeks before pregnancy.
- No increased hazard of miscarriage after redeeming a prescription for erythromycin or phenoxymethylpenicillin.
- No increase in risk if women in their first trimester took a proton pump inhibitor or amoxicillin, both often used as first line treatment in combination with clarithromycin in helicobacter pylori infection.
When clarithromycin use in the first trimester was compared directly with other drugs, the hazard ratios were similar to that seen in the main analysis – about a 45% to 69% increase in risk.
The findings "strengthen other data" on the risks of clarithromycin, Andersen and colleagues concluded.
But they cautioned that they lacked information on why clarithromycin was prescribed, so it remains possible that the underlying disease, in some cases, led to the miscarriage rather than the drug itself.
There is no data on prescribed dosages, they noted, and while they have information showing that the exposed women bought and paid for their prescriptions, there is no proof that they actually took the drug.
It is also possible, Andersen and colleagues cautioned, that women getting the drug differed from unexposed women in ways that were "causally related to the outcome," such as obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking and antiphospholipid syndrome.
Finally, they noted, registry data is subject to misclassification and the rate of miscarriage might have been under-reported.
The study had support from the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation and the P. Carl Petersen Foundation.
The journal said the authors had declared there were no competing interests.

Spring cleaning has begun in Walton County.
To help residents dispose of trash such as yard debris, tires, appliances and other miscellaneous items, District 4 Commissioner Sara Comander and Public Works are hosting a Community Clean-Up Weekend at Legion Park from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday March 8 to Sunday March 10.
The Walton County Public Works Department will be providing Dumpsters for residents to unload their excess trash. Crew and equipment will be on-hand to help off-load heavy items. Separate recycling trailers will also be on-site to take newspapers, glass, aluminum and other metals. Hazardous wastes such as poisons, paint, gasoline and other flammables will not be accepted for this event.
"It keeps people from throwing stuff on the side of the road that becomes an eyesore," said Rusty Floyd, Walton County landfill manager.
Clean-up days were common before about 2004, said Comander. When she took her seat in 2006, Comander decided to bring back frequent clean-up days and now currently holds three to four a year.
"Some of the people I serve in locations such as Choctaw Beach and Villa Tasso are a long way away [from the landfill]," she said. "And when you're a little old lady with a car like me, you still need a truck to take it."
Comander makes it a point to attend as many of the community clean-ups as she can.
"If my men are going to work, then I have to be there right along them," she said. "It also gives me a chance to talk to my constituents, which is wonderful."
Right now, Comander is trying to rearrange her schedule to show up at least once over the weekend. In the past, the community clean-ups only lasted a day.
"We're going to try it and see if it works," Comander said of extending the clean-up. "Hopefully, it will get more residents involved. You never know until you try."
Comander admitted unwanted items have made their way into the woods and on county roads in the past.
"Which is not cool," she exclaimed.
She hopes bringing the Dumpsters to the residents she serves will encourage them to do the right thing.
"In my heart I believe people want to be good," Comander said. "I hope residents take full advantage of it."

How can an atheist be a freethinker when all of his ideas are from Roman Catholics? ...
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
The forum again, in obstinancy refuses to look at the problems before them and diverts the issues to me. These recent threads are not about me. They are about you.
They are not intended to prove that I have a coherent theory.
They are about your theory.
You couldn't even touch the problems involved with secularism and now you cannot show how your ideas are free.
The idea that you are freethinkers remains as illusory as the validity of empiricism.
Regardless of what I believe, your own principles are smoke and mirrors.
How can an atheist be a freethinker when all of his ideas are from Roman Catholics?
Just a summary Materialism was popularized by the atomism of Descartes, Galileo and Voltaire-all Jesuit trained men.
Communism was created by the Roman Catholic statesmen Sir Thomas More and perfected by the Jesuits in their Reductions in Paraguay. Abbé Sieyès was most responsible for the French Revolution and he was a Jesuit. Marx was trained by Jesuits in Trier, Germany. The Communists did little but destroyed some of the most powerful enemies of the Vatican with the Bolshevik Revolution.
Salamancan Jesuits like Molina and Juan de Mariana laid the foundations for Libertarianism and the Austrian School of Economics.
According to Masonic historian, Johann Bode, the Jesuits created the Masonic Lodge in England to regain the Stuart throne. Freemasonry has now universally infiltrated the large Protestant denominations and turned them to Liberalism.
The famous Freemason Erasmus Darwin was the primary influence on his grandson's Darwinism and the transitional fossil hoaxes were created by the famous Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin and men associated with him.
The big bang theory was created by a Jesuit named Georges Lemaître.
Our Gregorian Calendar was even invented by a Jesuit named Christopher Clavius.
Our pandering after international organizations like the United Nations is nothing short of the Vatican's Ultramontanism that they have been claiming divine right to for centuries.
The banning of the Bible in public schools is nothing short of the Vatican's Index of Forbidden Books and their incessant ambition to keep the Bible out of the hands of the common people. This is exactly what Thomas More burned people alive in England for in the 16th century.
Seppuku,If you check his website, he's working off a list of "57 Theses for the atheist". Everything he's saying comes from it. If he wrote or not is irrelevant. He's just parroting that list. No one here is going to convince him of anything, ever. Just like he's not going to convince us of anything but being full of s**t, and a racist (his website is filled with racism, especially against blacks who he advocates violence towards "when necessary").Y'all are wasting breath, and words.-Nam

How can an atheist be a freethinker when all of his ideas are from Roman Catholics?Just a summary Materialism <>
Nonetheless, dismissing him on account of his racism (when he's arguing for/about something unrelated to it) is an ad hominem. Doesn't make his racist views any less repugnant, but they are not a valid reason to reject his theism or his IdiosynChristian theology. There are plenty of valid reasons though.
If that were true, which it isn't, it wouldn't matter. Even if we got "all our ideas from Roman Catholics," we, being freethinkers, can discard an idea when it no longer matches our best understanding of reality, derived by testing it against reality.
The word "atom" ought to be a clue. "Atomism" comes to us through Greek and Roman philosophy, e.g. Democritus and Lucretius. Not Catholic.
So Communism was a big Catholic conspiracy? Hahahahahahahaha! And I bet the Pope is an alien--oh, hang on. He does have quite the resemblance to Emperor Palpatine.
However, I'm surprised you don't know that the Catholics got their communism from.... *drumroll* ...Jesus! See the fifth chapter of Acts, where it states quite plainly that the early Christians held all things in common.
Also: Communism is not an "atheist idea." It's an economic system that has nothing to do with theism or atheism. The Soviet Communists were atheist, but Liberation Theology is Christian Communism.
So the Catholics were behind both Communism and Capitalism? Those wascally bastards! They're probably behind all world religions and philosophies and atheism and your particular little IdiosynChristianity, and supported the North and the South in the Civil War.
Just so they'll end up on top no matter what, right? Never mind that they're spending their resources to fight their own resources, because...oh never mind. It's A Conspiracy! That explains everything, and just ignore that your theory contradicts itself.
Funny, if you go back to the original Illuminati/Mason paranoia, John Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy, you'll find them being accused of seeking to overthrow the French Monarchy, and with it the Catholic Church in France.
But the Catholics only conspired against themselves because they're just so friggin' clever. Right?
The great "influence" that's responsible for the success of Darwinian evolutionary theory is: the geologic column, the fossil record
Based on data discovered by Edwin Hubble. With all sorts of other discoveries and developments of the theory added by...well, pretty much every physicist you could name and lots you can't. How many of 'em are Jesuits?
It wasn't "invented." It was updated because accumulation of small errors caused the Julian Calendar to vary too far from astronomical measurements, such as the solstices. What about the months and the days of the week? June (Juno, Roman goddess), August (Augustus, a title of Roman Emperors), Monday (the Moon) Wednesday (Wotan's Day, for Wotan/Odin, Norse god), Thursday (Thor's Day--Norse god), Friday (Freya's day--Norse Goddess), Saturday (Saturn's Day, Roman god), Sunday (the Sun). Did the Catholics go back in time and invent Roman and Norse Paganism too?
So, by being involved with international organizations we're upholding Divine Right (of Kings? But we don't have a King!), yet by upholding Separation of Church and State we're rejecting Divine Right, and when we give the UN the finger and attack a country (e.g. Iraq) unilaterally, we're...what, splitting the difference?
And yet, if we required the Bible in public schools, that would be part of the Catholic Conspiracy too, because it's the Catholics who decided what books went into "the Bible" in the first place!
Sorry Oli, you just can't get away from them. I mean, look at your own friggin' avatar!
Nam Diversion, with the abusive ad hominem. I am not a racist. You are. I want to preserve the races, through general separation you want them destroyed. Do you support the Union cause in the Civil War?

Do you support the Union cause in the Civil War?So, what do you want to do in order to "preserve the races"?You didn't answer the question. I want to have declarations of independence all over the USA. Having declared independence, we need to reserve some states for the blacks (The vast majority of them, not every single one) and re-establish them in those states. Having done this we deport all the illegals from Mexico back to their country to deal with their own problems and fight against their tyrannical government and overcome them with great sacrifice to themselves just like my ancestors had to do with King George. We will give them the correct targets as the Jesuits are behind all of that mess in Mexico.
