Should Miners Consider Tapping Oil, Gas For Profits?
Several mining companies have made large oil and gas investments over the past two years, begging the question: should other globally-diversified miners consider expanding into the sector as well?
Anglo-Australian miner BHP Billiton Ltd. has been at the vanguard of such investment, having plowed about $20 billion into U.S. shale-gas businesses over the past two years. Likewise, India-focused Vedanta Resources PLC has spent $8.7 billion to buy a majority stake in Indian oil and gas explorer Cairn India Ltd.
Meanwhile, other diversified mining companies such as Glencore International PLC and Kazakhmys PLC have invested in oil. Glencore bought a majority stake in Russia's marine-fuel supplier Chemoil for $237 milllion in 2010 and owns stakes in other oil-producing assets.
Kazakhmys also ventured into oil exploration but exited the business at a loss last year.
Companies that have invested in oil and gas are reaping large rewards as the energy demand from both developing and developed countries grows. Oil major BP PLC forecasts that energy consumption will rise 39% between 2010 and 2030, with the largest single-fuel contribution coming from natural gas, which is forecast to meet 31% of the projected global energy-consumption growth during that period.
Investing in oil and gas has been a profitable for these miners (except for Kazakhyms), shoring up their balance sheets and their stock prices. But it has also prompted questions over whether this is the best use of resources.
BHP's petroleum division has ranked as the company's second-most profitable division after iron ore with an average adjusted Ebit margin or earnings before interest, taxes, and exceptional items margin of 56%, compared with 60% for iron ore, on average over the last two financial years thanks to higher crude-oil prices.
"Oil and gas is a more profitable business [than mining] if you can make it work," said John Meyer, mining analyst at Fairfax IS PLC. "Mining is a much tougher business," he said.
Analysts say the synergies between mining and oil aren't many and aren't very apparent—one involves moving rock, the other involves moving liquids —but there are two reasons why such an investment may make sense:
First, investing in oil and gas acts as a natural hedge against energy costs. "Rio Tinto PLC and BHP Billiton use as much energy as a small country," said Seth Rosenfeld of Jefferies. As a result miners can profit from rising oil and gas prices, thereby offsetting the negative impact of higher energy costs on their mining operations.
BHP estimates that for every $1 rise in the oil price, BHP's full-year net profit after tax climbs by $40 million.
Second, diversified miners can offer the whole gamut of energy products— through coal, natural gas and oil—that meets the competing demands of developing countries' energy needs.
"I think the trend may be for companies to be looking for more diversified exposure to different stages of economic development. Investment in oil and gas may be one of those ways to get exposure although it's not the only way," Mr. Rosenfeld said.
Some synergies also exist in exploration where drilling and mapping deposits use similar skill sets and technology. But analysts say the synergies tend to stop here.
"It is too early to suggest that a trend may be forming in terms of miners investing in oil," said mining analyst Robert Clifford at Deutsche Bank. And although several globally-diversified miners have demonstrated interest in oil and gas, the rationale for investing in oil and gas is still varied, Mr. Meyer said.
BHP Billiton's presence in oil and gas goes back to 1965 when BHP, prior to its 2001 merger with Billiton, made its first commercial gas discovery.
The petroleum business didn't stand out as part of the combined BHP Billiton's commodities portfolio until after 2006 when BHP Billiton decided to give Michael Yaeger, a former ExxonMobil Corp. executive, the license to run the business semiautonomously from the rest of the group, Mr. Clifford said.
Meanwhile, Vedanta's push into oil has been an opportunistic venture focused on creating an Indian natural-resources champion, analysts have said. The conclusion of the purchase of a majority stake in Cairn India this year makes Vedanta responsible for 20% of India's domestic oil production.
Glencore, one of the world's largest oil traders handling the physical supply of some 3% of the world's daily oil demand, has approached its oil investment with a view to securing more volume in order to channel it through its marketing activities, Mr. Rosenfeld added.
The irony is that the model of a diversified natural resources company isn't new. Oil majors such as BP PLC, Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Exxon all had mining divisions until they started to divest their businesses between 1980 and the early 2000s when mining companies performed poorly.
Musing on the oil majors' exit from mining, Mr. Clifford said: "Maybe the oil majors just had 25 years of bad times and didn't hold on long enough."

Boca Raton — At this point in the last two seasons, FAU was alive in the bowl picture and every game was laden with consequences.
Saturday's loss to Troy drained all the drama out of this season, and FAU (3-7, 3-3) still has two games on the schedule.
"Our job is to keep the spirits as high as we can at this juncture and we have a new objective of getting better as an offense and a defense," coach Howard Schnellenberger said.
With no chance for a bowl bid or conference title, Schnellenberger said he still feels his team won't stop competing.
The Owls host Western Kentucky Saturday at Lockhart Stadium. Kickoff is at 4 p.m., and it is Senior Day, when the graduating class is recognized at the final home game of the season.
"We have a good group of guys that will continue to play as well as they can and prosper from the tough times they are going through," Schnellenberger said.
Quick hits
Some positives: FAU quarterback Jeff Van Camp was sacked five times and under pressure nearly every time he dropped back to pass, as Troy's defensive line overwhelmed FAU's offensive line.
It was Van Camp's third start and the first time he was under assualt the entire game, and he said he learned a lot in the game.
The number one lesson: "When pressure comes I have to stay poised," Van Camp said.
Van Camp was 22-of-33 for 193 yards with one touchdown.
While FAU did not have many big plays, Troy had plenty, as Trojan quarterback Levi Brown comleted five more passes than Van Camp but had 477 yards and three touchdowns.

William Dawes Schulz
August 14, 1975
|Journalist, writer, television personality
William Dawes "Bill" Schulz (born August 14, 1975) is an American journalist, writer, and television personality, best known for being on the Fox News late-night show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfield. Schulz is also a freelance writer and a former senior editor of Stuff Magazine.[1] Schulz is the host of "Mornin'!!! With Bill Schulz" on Compound Media.
Early life[edit]
Schulz was born William Dawes Schulz in Lake Forest, Illinois. He has two brothers, Alfred and Jonathan, and was raised Catholic.[2] He is a descendent of William Dawes, who rode with Paul Revere in the "Midnight Ride" during the American Revolution.[3] He attended high school in Illinois at Lake Forest Academy, and in 1998 received a BA in Print Journalism from Emerson College.[4]
Red Eye[edit]
From its debut in 2007 until November 2013, Schulz was a regular panelist, writer, and producer on "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld". Serving as host Greg Gutfeld's "repulsive sidekick" who was routinely the target of Gutfeld's running gags, Schulz often looked directly into the camera (even when he was not being talked to) with his signature "crazy-eyed look," along with frequently waving to the television viewing audience. Schulz provided the voice for an anthropomorphism of The New York Times newspaper, named "Pinch" (a reference to Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., current publisher of the Times).
Schulz also provided irreverent "man-on-the-street" segments featured on Red Eye, often conducted in Times Square and occasionally at special events. One included him joining the Occupy Wall Street protest on its first day and interviewing the crowd while making bizarre protests himself.[5]
Schulz's final appearance on Red Eye was on November 7, 2013, and his departure (for undisclosed reasons) was officially announced on November 22.[6]
Schulz currently works as a freelance writer. His articles have appeared in Maxim, The Daily Beast, and The New York Times.[7][8][9]

This book is an updated, completely revised version of a previous volume in this series entitled: ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS -- Techniques, applications and quality assurance. The book treats different aspects of environmental analysis such as sample handling and analytical techniques, the applications to trace analysis of pollutants (mainly organic compounds), and quality assurance aspects, including the use of certified reference materials for the quality control of the whole analytical process. New analytical techniques are presented that have been developed significantly over the last 6 years, like solid phase microextraction, microwave-assisted extraction, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric methods, immunoassays, and biosensors. The book is divided into four sections. The first describes field sampling techniques and sample preparation in environmental matrices: water, soil, sediment and biota. The second section covers the application areas which are either based on techniques, like the use of gas chromatography-atomic emission detection, immunoassays, or coupled-column liquid chromatography, or on specific application areas, like chlorinated compounds, pesticides, phenols, mycotoxins, phytotoxins, radionuclides, industrial effluents and wastes, including mine waste. Validation and quality assurance are described in the third section, together with the interpretation of environmental data using advanced chemometric techniques. The final section reports the use of somewhat advanced analytical methods, usually more expensive, less routinely used or less developed, for the determination of pollutants.Q aoos VAPORIZER _ _y LENS me EFFIUENIa#39; * at L VIQMOSFRAY W I I on sooner Eticmooe nzcmooe a#39;AdAda#39; excm em FILMNI ...

Making a bucket list, really?
We're a life insurance provider, so our work focuses in part on one of life's sad truths: one day, we're all going to die. We help people make sure 'life goes on' and, like you, we've heard many, many heart-warming stories about seriously ill individuals who decide to stay positive and make the most of life, while they can. It's called making a bucket list.
A bucket list?
Nobody's sure where that came from. Popularised by the Jack Nicholson movie of the same name, one thought is it evolved from a dictionary of English slang dating back to 1785, in which 'kick the bucket' appeared as an entry. Wherever it came from, it's a wonderful idea: setting out to experience and achieve certain things before we die.
Not surprisingly, bucket lists appear in great quantities on the Internet. It's an ideal place to share news about having a positive attitude to life. But perhaps some of the more popular 'to do' items on people's lists will raise an eyebrow:
- seeing the Northern Lights
- going on safari
- swimming with dolphins
- riding in a hot air balloon
- or seeing the Grand Canyon.
... you get the idea. But perhaps things 'closer to home' would a bit easier to organise:
- getting the whole family together
- having a party on the beach
- planting a sapling in your garden
- taking photographs of all your children
- or even writing a poem about your friends and family
Simple ideas are where to start...
Here's how...
Every great bucket list should have something on it that's a real motivator, but we all know the advantage of starting out with easy challenges – whether it's your bucket list, or you're helping someone else to make one.
Start by talking to friends and family about what they'd like to do. It's important to create a list that has some achievable goals on it – that's the key to success, and it's the key to giving everyone golden memories of great times, spent together. In fact, sharing your ideas may make it easier not only to create 'the plan', but also to 'stick' to it as well.
If there's something that sounds like a great idea, don't dismiss it out of hand if cost is an issue. Perhaps you could set your sights on that one ambition – such as a trip abroad, or a lavish family get-together – and then pave the way with smaller steps, such as drawing up a calendar or writing letters, sharing the bucket list with everyone who'd like to know about it.
Plan ahead, think about tomorrow
The most important thing is to get started. We've all heard the phrase, 'If ifs and ands were pots and pans...' – it's easy to roll our eyes and imagine some things being hard to do, but this isn't day-dreaming, it's about realising the whole of life's ambitions.
So if you've ever thought about making a bucket list – or you know someone with a list that starts, 'One day I'd like to...' – grab the calendar and start putting that bucket list together today!

Being sick is the best! Said no one ever. Other than perhaps a man with a man cold who likes getting a little extra attention. But man colds aside, being sick is the pits. Especially when you have a house full of young children and the flu and cold bugs just keep getting passed round and round and round.. "I've heard winter activities are quite pleasant, but we haven't been able to get out much due to all of this sickness…" "What? There is life outside of barf and fevers and staying up with multiple sick children while I carry around a barf bucket of my own?" Don't lie. We've all been there. Let us curse together in remembrance.
Enter homemade elderberry syrup. Not only do elderberries contain immune-enhancing properties, they also have powerful antiviral properties that are helpful in treating viral infections. When cooked, elderberries are completely safe for old and young alike. In some people, when large amounts of fresh elderberries are consumed they can cause diarrhea and upset stomach.
Prior to this year, when one child would come down with a bug, I would run to the store and shell out my money for precious elderberry syrup. I would give it to everyone else (myself included), and the vast majority of the time no one else would get sick. Seriously. I initially thought it was a fluke. Can it really work this well? But it's proven itself over and over and over. It even aided our fight in keeping dreaded Hand Foot Mouth Disease to one child.
I have always wanted to be able to give it to each family member as a daily supplement during the winter, but because of the cost I have not been able to do so. And then I found out how easy and cheap it is to make your own. Enter happy dance.
It really is so simple. There are a million versions out there, and it's really hard to mess up. The best part? My kids love it. LOVE it. When they see me pulling the jar out of the fridge in the mornings they all come running. And no need to save it for medicinal purposes. It serves as a pretty tasty pancake syrup too.
Ingredients for homemade Elderberry Syrup
½ C dried elderberries (I got this batch from mountainroseherbs.com, but they are also available on Amazon.)
2 ½ C water
1 tsp ground Ginger(optional)
1-2 Cinnamon Sticks (optional)
½-1 tsp Clove powder (optional)
¾ C honey or Glycerine (can be used interchangeably in the recipe, but honey is cheaper)
Directions for making homemade Elderberry Syrup
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan or dutch oven. Remove from heat, add elderberries and cover. I like to let the elderberries steep for 1-2 hours. Does it make a huge difference? I don't know. Probably not, but I do it anyway.
Add ginger, cinnamon, and clove powder if using. They are not necessary ingredients, but we like the taste they lend, and they have awesome medicinal properties of their own!
Bring mixture back to a boil, cover again, reduce heat to a simmer and let simmer for about 45 minutes, until liquid is reduced by around half. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.
Pour through a fine mesh strainer and discard elderberries and cinnamon sticks. Stir in honey or glycerin (or a combination of both to equal ¾ C). Honey is not my favorite taste, so if I have glycerin on hand, I will use some of it in place of the honey. My kids and husband don't mind the full honey taste at all.
Pour into a pint sized mason jar and refrigerate. It should keep for several months in the fridge. For a daily immune boosting supplement give ½-1 tsp for kids over 1, and ½-1 Tbsp for adults. When you feel a bug coming on, take the regular dose every 2-3 hours until symptoms subside.
Now let's cost compare to the store bought version.
At my local grocery store, a 4 fl oz bottle costs $16.99 or $4.25 per ounce. Pricey stuff, but I'm a sucker. This stuff is worth its weight in gold. And diamonds. And whatever is selling for the highest price on the black market.
Our homemade version costs the following:
Elderberries: $2.25 (not including shipping costs which can vary from free-$5)
Honey: $1.70
Spices: less than $.50
Total Price for 16 oz of homemade elderberry syrup: $4.45, or about $.278 per ounce.
That means our homemade version, without shipping is 98% cheaper. Seriously!!!!! This is one of my most cost efficient recipes ever. Even with paying for full priced shipping it's still a heckuva save.
How about you? Are you already a fan of Elderberry? What are your favorite herbal immune boosting recipes?

Companies will go wherever they can pay the least amount of tax. Unfortunately that is the nature of the big corporations, they refuse to pay fair amount of taxes. What the EU are trying to do is brilliant, and for the sake of society let's hope they succeed. The challenge is that the companies will keep running, and it doesn't look like the U.S. government have the same appetite to make companies pay what they owe.
Companies that left the United States to domicile in low tax countries are likely to come back home. This was merely paperwork to change the headquarters. However, the European Union has levied hefty tax charges on companies such as Apple, and is investigating IKEA. Once the tax advantage is taken away, companies will have no need to change their headquarters outside the U.S.
Companies that are being taxed euros by the EU may choose to domicile in the U.S. Although America has a higher corporate tax rate, there are many ways companies can avoid U.S. taxes, so that the effective tax rate is much lower. But, companies may choose to domicile in other countries.
No, companies will not return to the United States simply because they are facing tougher tax scrutiny in Europe. The companies recognized that these taxes were due when they first located in Europe. Although the one-time tax bill for non-payment is large, the regular taxes are still less burdensome than the tax bills the companies face in the United States. Additionally, the tax burden is only one of many reasons that companies relocate. The cost of paying worker salaries in the United States, the insurance costs, and the high cost of lawsuits continue to discourage companies from domiciling in the United States.

Continued from Page 1.
Now, we can get to something that is a little more useful. Sometimes you may want to execute a command on a remote system and gather the output from the command. The following example executes an "ls" command on the remote server that we connected to in the previous examples.
#!/usr/bin/env python from __future__ import with_statement import ssh_common with ssh_common.create_ssh() as ssh: cmd = 'ls -l /home/slacker/files' stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(cmd) print "STDOUT" print "+" * 40 print stdout.read() print "-" * 40 print "STDERR" print "+" * 40 print stderr.read() print "-" * 40
The only thing this example does differently with the "ssh" object from the previous example is that it calls the "exec_command()" method on it. The command I passed in was "ls -l /home/slacker/files". "exec_command()" returns a tuple containing the standard input, output, and error of the remote process. The rest of the code prints the standard output and standard error from the remote execution. Here is what happens when I run the script:
jmjones: python_ssh$ python simple_exec.py creating connection connected STDOUT ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ total 48 -rw-rw-r-- 1 slacker slacker 5855 Nov 19 19:15 a.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 slacker slacker 5855 Nov 19 19:15 b.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 slacker slacker 5855 Nov 19 19:15 c.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 slacker slacker 5855 Nov 19 19:15 d.txt ---------------------------------------- STDERR ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ---------------------------------------- closing connection closed
The script displayed the listing of four files: "a.txt", "b.txt", "c.txt", and "d.txt". The file listing came from stdout and nothing came from stderr. I wrote this script so that it would do a file listing in order to tie into the next examples, but you could replace that "ls" command with anything: a "ps" command to check for running processes, a "netstat" command to see if any process is binding a specific port, or a "df" command to check free disk space.
Now, on to something else useful. I commonly use SSH to transfer files between servers using SSH. Actually, I use SFTP or SCP, but these are parts of SSH. The following module contains a function that takes an "ssh" object and returns an "sftp" object wrapped in context manager goodness.
#!/usr/bin/env python from contextlib import contextmanager @contextmanager def create_sftp(ssh): try: print "creating sftp" sftp = ssh.open_sftp() print "created" yield sftp finally: print "closing sftp" sftp.close() print "sftp closed"
And here is a script that uses the "ssh" and "sftp" context managers and retrieves the files in "/home/slacker/files".
#!/usr/bin/env python from __future__ import with_statement import ssh_common import sftp_common import os with ssh_common.create_ssh() as ssh: with sftp_common.create_sftp(ssh) as sftp: sftp.chdir('/home/slacker/files') for f in sftp.listdir(): print "retrieving", f sftp.get(f, os.path.join('files', f))
This script is pretty straightforward. At the beginning of the outer "with" block, the script creates an "ssh" object. At the beginning of the inner "with" block, the script creates an "sftp" object. Inside the inner "with" block, the script changes directory to "/home/slacker/files", then does a directory listing and retrieves each of the files listed. When the file retrieval part is finished, the context managers execute the "finalization" code, closing the "sftp" and "ssh" connections.
Here is the result of running the "sftp" script:
jmjones: python_ssh$ python simple_xfer.py creating connection connected creating sftp created retrieving d.txt retrieving c.txt retrieving a.txt retrieving b.txt closing sftp sftp closed closing connection closed
paramiko makes the possibilities for SSH automation truly mind boggling. paramiko also simplifies connecting to an SSH server from some Python code you have already written. If you have to interact with SSH servers on a regular basis, download paramiko and play around with it. It's bound to simplify your work.

How NYCFC Defender Shay Facey Views His New ClubShay Facey provides an insider's perspective to CFG's ambition with NYCFC, commends NYCFC fans for being 'louder than Citrus Bowl'
by Nick Chavez | Thursday, March 26, 2015
Following New York City FC's historic home opener at Yankee Stadium, I spoke with Manchester City Elite Development Squad defender Shay Facey, currently on loan with NYCFC.
Having been a member of Manchester City's EDS since 2007, Facey arguably has more insider perspective and insight into CFG's plans with NYCFC than the majority of NYCFC's players, most of whom have only joined the CFG family much more recently.
"As you can see, with the fan base alone that the club's got (over 15,000 Season Ticket Holders, over 43,000 fans in the home opener) New York City FC is going to be a huge club," Facey said. "The club wants to compete, and whichever club that's part of City Football Group wants to compete for titles and bringing through the best players to play for their respective teams. NYCFC is definitely not something to be taken lightly, and I would say if you do get the opportunity to come here, definitely take that opportunity with two hands."
Regarding the ability of his teammates and future potential of NYCFC, Facey declared, "For sure, the quality of this team is not far away from Manchester City, and it has the potential to be a huge club attracting [top] players."
The Manchester City-developed defender was also very impressed with the support he saw out of the fans attending New York City's first match at Yankee Stadium.
"Coming from the Citrus Bowl in Orlando the week before, I didn't think we'd be able to top [the stadium atmosphere], but I'd say we did, and it was for sure louder than it was in Orlando," Facey said. "I think the crowd, from minute 1 to the end of the game, were really buzzing, they've been waiting for this for a long time, and for us to put on a show and get a win like that was something special, and I'm sure all of the fans will remember that as well as the players."
Facey had a rough day at the office on his first-ever MLS start on Saturday, as he was sent off after receiving his second yellow card in the 82nd minute for colliding with Juan Ramirez of the Colorado Rapids just outside the penalty area. He is the first NYCFC player to ever be given a red card.
New York City FC is undefeated so far this season going into Saturday's match versus Sporting Kansas City at Yankee Stadium, with a win at home and two draws away.
NYCFC has yet to even trail during an MLS regular season match, but they will need to improve on last Saturday's offensive effort, which only saw two New York City shots on Colorado's goal, both by captain David "El Guaje" Villa.

Rough-hewn, rambunctious and rather loud, the music of Etta Jones and Houston Person does not fall lightly on the ear. Nor is it intended to.
Jones' somewhat rasping singing voice and Person's mostly hard-hitting tenor saxophone overstate their case a bit, or at least they did during Tuesday night's opening set in the Jazz Showcase. Yet there's a contagious energy and exuberance in most everything they perform, so that once the listener has adjusted to this brand of playing, it's easy to be swept away by it.

TCU Falls to No. 12 Oklahoma, 24-17
Dec. 1, 2012
News Conference Video | Highlights
Photo Gallery | AP Photo Gallery | Highlights
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Landry Jones threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran untouched 66 yards for a score and 12th-ranked Oklahoma held on to win 24-17 at TCU on Saturday and clinch at least a share of the Big 12 title.
TCU's fourth-down pass to the goal-line in the final minute was well-defended and fell incomplete.
The Sooners (10-2, 8-1 Big 12) won their eighth consecutive Big 12 game since a late-September loss to Kansas State, which played it regular-season finale at home Saturday night against No. 23 Texas. Oklahoma would have the outright title and guaranteed BCS spot if the seven-ranked Wildcats lose.
The Sooners, whose only other loss was to No. 1 Notre Dame, are in good shape for the final at-large BCS berth if K-State wins. Kent State's double-overtime loss to Northern Illinois in the MAC championship game likely ended any chance for that league to get in the Bowl Championship Series.
TCU (7-5, 4-5) lost all four of its conference games at home despite winning four on the road.
"We had a chance to win the game, simple as that," coach Gary Patterson said. "We gave up an easy touchdown when a couple of freshmen blew an assignment."
But the Frogs still had a chance when Oklahoma's Mike Hunnicut missed a 42-yard field goal attempt with just under 3 minutes left.
Frogs freshman quarterback Trevone Boykin, who finished with 231 yards passing, completed three passes, including a 35-yarder to Cam White to get the Frogs to the Oklahoma 12. On third-and-10 from there, Boykin had a keeper that ended with him in the end zone but the play was called back because of a holding call.
After hitting Josh Boyce for 7 yards, the Frogs had fourth-and-13 from the 15 in the final minute when Boykin threw toward Boyce again in the end zone.
This is Oklahoma's eighth Big 12 title, all in even-numbered years since Bob Stoops became coach in 1999. The Sooners have been to eight BCS games in that span.
Just a minute into the second half, Williams took a handoff, shot through a gap on the left side of the line and sprinted undeterred to the end zone for a 21-7 lead.
Jones completed 22 of 40 passes after the first consecutive 500-yard passing games by a Sooners quarterback. Williams had his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season, with 18 carries for 115 yards.
After a 75-yard punt by Oklahoma punter Tress Way, the Frogs had their second one-play scoring drive of the game. Boykin threw a pass that Brandon Carter caught behind the Sooners secondary and raced 80 yards for a touchdown.
Boykin fumbled later in the third quarter when he was sacked from behind by R.J. Washington, a play that was initially ruled an incomplete pass until overturned on replay. That led to Hunnicut's 34-yard field goal.
Jaden Oberkrom kicked a 47-yard field goal for TCU with 7 minutes left, which came after the Frogs had lined up to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the 25 before a false start penalty.
Oberkrom was just wide right on a 32-yard attempt earlier in the fourth quarter, though the freshman kicker held his hands out in disbelief and replays showed the ball might have been inside the upright.
Oklahoma had a 14-7 lead at halftime after overcoming an interception by Jones that immediately led to a TCU touchdown, then a personal foul penalty that set up a third-and-23 play.
Sam Carter's interception and 42-yard return set TCU up at the 6. Boykin scored on a keeper the very next play for a 7-7 tie.
When the Sooners got the ball back, Jones quickly completed five consecutive passes to the TCU 22. He had completed a sixth in a row, but that play was nullified when officials said they were reviewing the previous play when Brown was ruled down by contact when the ball was from his hands and recovered by the Frogs.
Oklahoma kept the ball, and three plays later, Kenny Stills dropped a pass near the goal-line. It was at the end of that same play there was a personal foul penalty on 303-pound lineman Tyrus Thompson, who was on top of Stansly Maponga and twice punched the defensive end's helmet.
On third-and-23 from the 24, Jones hit Jalen Saunders for a touchdown.

2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon Monterey debut - Click above for a high-res gallery
After speaking this morning with Cadillac's product communications manager, David Caldwell, we've fleshed out some near-term product plans for General Motors' luxury brand – in particular the timetable for the 2010 CTS Sport Wagon. The automaker's Lansing Grand River plant is scheduled to begin building the stylish rear-drive load lugger in early May, and the first examples should be at dealerships around Memorial Day (May 25), or perhaps early June.
Cadillac's first-ever U.S-market station wagon (no, the SRX crossover doesn't count) is expected to offer a reasonable 25 cubic feet of space beneath its rakish rear glass, and while it rides on the same 113.4-inch wheelbase as its sedan counterpart, the wagon will actually be .3-inches shorter. The model looks to be particularly important for GM's fortunes in Europe, where the luxury division is still struggling to gain traction against the entrenched domestics. While being something of a fringe interest in the U.S., sport wagons do solid business in Europe, and the overseas-only BLS Wagon has played largely to lukewarm reviews. Back home in the States, Cadillac expects just 20 percent of CTS customers to opt for the estate version, while the European model mix is slated to be more along the lines of a 60 percent/40 percent split in favor of the wagon.
So... what about the CTS Coupe? As we reported in January, the stylish two-door's production plans remain firm for next year, despite company-wide cutbacks and rumors to the contrary. While that's still later than Cadillac had originally hoped, officials say the delay will give them the opportunity to focus on launching the Sport Wagon as well as the 2010 SRX replacement. No official word on the likelihood of a CTS-V Coupe or Sport Wagon, but mules of the former have already been spotted, so perhaps we'll get lucky.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - About 150 protesters in Chicago marched to banks and government offices on Wednesday to demand a one-year moratorium on local home evictions and foreclosures, the latest in a series of demonstrations leading up to next week's NATO summit.
The protesters performed a piece of street theater at Daley Plaza featuring a bank trying to evict a family from their home, and neighbors stepping in to stop it.
More than two dozen Chicago police officers were on hand but no arrests were made. The demonstration included members of "Occupy Chicago" and Communities United Against Foreclosure and Eviction, a Chicago group.
One of the protesters, Jorge Ortiz, 30, of Chicago, said he is facing foreclosure on his condominium because he can no longer afford to make mortgage payments.
A graduate student and a teacher with two children, Ortiz said his monthly payments have jumped about $600 to $1,600, while local property values have plunged.
Holding a megaphone, Ortiz led the crowd in chants like "Whose house? Our house!"
"I've come to protest against foreclosures because the big banks used widespread fraud to kick people out of their homes," said David Goodner, 31, of Des Moines, Iowa, who has come with his family for the NATO protests as part of the Catholic Worker movement.
Eight anti-war protesters were arrested on Monday for refusing to leave the lobby of a high-rise building that houses President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters. Four protesters were arrested on Tuesday. A protest planned for Thursday will focus on environmental issues, organizers said.
The largest demonstration is expected to be on Sunday, when organizers hope thousands will show up for a rally and a march on the Chicago convention center where the two-day NATO summit is being held to discuss the military alliance's strategy in Afghanistan.
The meeting will draw representatives from some 50 countries, including leaders of the 28 members of the military alliance.

The NFL's Super Bowl-winning Baltimore Ravens will get $130,000 from Maryland taxpayers to push ObamaCare, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch.
The team signed the deal with the state after the NFL turned down a White House plea to peddle ObamaCare nationwide.
Maryland officials appealed directly to the home team, announcing in early September that the Ravens would help market the state's ObamaCare exchange.
Both parties refused to offer specifics at the time, and Judicial Watch filed a FOIL request for details.
The Super Bowl champs will be on TV, radio, the team's official website, newsletter and social media platforms selling the problem-plagued health care plan to a skeptical public.
The NFL's earlier decision was a blow to the White House's efforts to sell the so-called Affordable Care Act.
"We have responded to the letters we received from members of Congress to inform them we currently have no plans to engage in this area and have had no substantive contact with the administration about [ObamaCare's] implementation," the league said in a statement several months back.

N.C. mayors implore colleagues across nation to end travel bans
ENGAGE: Write a letter to the editor | Comment on this story
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — More than a dozen city mayors across North Carolina have signed a letter asking that states and cities banning taxpayer-funded travel to N.C. in response to HB 2 and HB 142 lift their bans. The letter comes after more than 20 cities and three states announced that travel bans initiated under HB2 would continue in spite of the so-called "repeal" bill, HB 142, which keeps much of HB2 in place.
The North Carolina mayors' letter claims that cities are being harmed by the travel bans, but that local governments are now powerless to enact LGBTQ protections. The latter is a stipulation of HB 142, passed and signed by Gov. Roy Cooper on March 30. The new law, which critics are calling "HB 2.0," prevents local non-discrimination ordinances until December 2020.
In spite of North Carolina mayors' request, cities and states nationwide have reaffirmed their commitment to protesting LGBTQ discrimination. Many of the bans were put in place over the past year, including the ban on state-funded travel from California.
"California is inclusive. We take pride in protecting the rights of all our people," said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra in an April 12 release. "Discrimination is unacceptable and we intend to protect LBGT rights. California's law was enacted to ensure that, with limited exceptions, our taxpayer resources are not spent in states that authorize discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. North Carolina's new law does not cure the infirmity of this type of discrimination."
Other states banning such travel to North Carolina are Minnesota and Washington state, as well as Washington, D.C. Cities nationwide have joined the movement. These include: Chicago; New York City; San Francisco; Seattle; Portland, OR; Atlanta; Baltimore; Burlington, VT; Los Angeles; Oakland; Santa Fe; Cincinnati; Salt Lake City; Palm Springs, CA; West Palm Beach; Portland, ME; and Wilton Manors, FL.
Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed stood up to its northerly neighbor in April 2016, one of the first cities to enact such a ban.
"Every person, regardless of their gender, gender expression or sexuality is a valued member of our community," Reed said in a statement at the time. Now, Reed spokeswoman Anne Torres has confirmed that the ban will remain.
An April 3 statement by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is perhaps one of the most poignant arguments in favor of travel ban protests:
"Every American deserves to live free of discrimination, and the law signed last week by Governor Cooper does nothing to protect the rights and dignity of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters," Garcetti said. "Cities should have every opportunity to make policies that affirm values of equal justice, protect people from hate and bias, and uphold the Constitutional right to self-determination. Until that is made real in North Carolina, I urge the City Council to extend L.A.'s ban on non-essential travel to the state by City employees. I would sign that ban right away, and will continue doing everything in my power to make sure that Angelenos' tax dollars are never spent to support bigotry based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Cafe Martorano Restaurant Review: No one ever accused chef-owner Steve Martorano, originally a South Philly DJ, of subtlety, and the same is true of his eatery's boisterous ambience with a Sinatra soundtrack (hip-hop and disco on weekends) and big portions of bold-flavored Italian-American food. You want the softball-size meatballs with Sunday pork gravy and a dollop of ricotta; veal piccata with polenta; and al dente pastas like garlicky linguine with fresh-shucked clams or bucatini amatriciana in red sauce with cured pork cheek and grated pecorino. The wine list is mostly Italian and mostly too expensive, but an affordable Rocca delle Macie Chianti matches the food and mood well.

Scott Peters is a civic leader with a proven track record of working with everyone to achieve commonsense solutions and get things done. Since becoming a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013, his priorities have been to fix a broken Congress, create high-quality jobs, keep America safe, keep our promises to our veterans, and make college more affordable for middle-class families. Scott currently serves on the House Energy & Commerce Committee as well as the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Within these committees, Scott continues to advocate for commonsense healthcare reforms, better care for our veterans, and investments in today's global economy.
Since his time on the City Council, and as a Port Commissioner, Scott has developed a solid reputation as someone who is willing to reach across the aisle and achieve bipartisan solutions to tough problems. While so many in Washington seem interested only in political gamesmanship and blaming others for the problems we face, Scott has forged a different path; he's introduced multiple bills to make college more affordable, become a nationally recognized leader in the fight to reduce gun violence, has been a strong voice for our nation's military, and has repeatedly stood up to attempts in Congress to take away a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions.
Standing Up for What's Right
Scott learned the importance of standing up for what's right from his father, a Lutheran minister, who worked for housing desegregation and improved race relations after riots had ravaged Detroit in the 1960s. He's taken those values to Congress - standing up for Voting Rights, women's rights, and full LGBT equality. He was recognized as one of the most articulate voices on the House Judiciary committee arguing against Republicans who tried to defund Planned Parenthood and allow employers to deny coverage for basic women's health care, like birth control. He's also been a staunch and outspoken advocate for getting the vast sums of special interest money out of politics, limiting the influence of secret Super PACs and returning government to We The People.
For his work towards true equality, Scott has received endorsements from Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Human Rights Campaign, Equality California, and more.
Fixing Congress / Government Reform
Scott believes that like the rest of America, if Congress can't do its job, it shouldn't get paid. Scott helped pass the "No Budget, No Pay" law that stops Congress from being paid until it passes a budget and is working to make it permanent. He also refused to keep his paycheck during the government shutdown, and voted to stop Congress from giving themselves a raise. He's proposed a "Fix Congress Now" plan to force members to do their job – work five days a week, actually vote on bills that have been proposed, and ban the wealthy and big corporations from spending unlimited money in secret on campaigns. Scott knows the only way to fix a broken Congress is to get the vast sums of special interest money out of politics with transparency and enforcement. Scott wants to limit secret Super PACs and disclose the names of wealthy anonymous donors. He believes America has the right to know who is influencing our politicians and that we need a government of the people to make progress for the middle class.
For his efforts to fix a broken Congress and reform our elections, Scott has been endorsed by End Citizen's United and the US Campaign.
Making College More Affordable
As the son of a minister and a secretary who needed student loans and work-study programs to get through college, Scott has worked to expand educational opportunities by helping to pass a law to keep student loan interest rates lower and putting forward a bill to provide tax breaks to employers who help their employees pay off their debt. Scott introduced a bill to allow all Purple Heart recipients, regardless of how long they served, to gain access to full GI Bill benefits. The legislation was included in the "Forever GI Bill," which became law in 2017. Scott also continues to push for increasing STEM opportunities for women and minorities, preparing youth for work in today's economy, and making sure our children are being taught by high quality teachers.
Greater Economic Opportunity for All
In Congress, Scott has been a leading voice for more investment in San Diego's science, engineering, biotechnology, and research to create the high-wage jobs of the future.
Scott helped pass a $2 billion increase in funding for basic scientific research through the National Institutes of Health, which funds research at many San Diego labs and universities, and voted to extend tax credits that incentivize private sector investment in wind and solar energy to support San Diego's renewable energy industry and reduce harmful emissions.
Scott also forced a delay of the medical device excise tax, which would hurt San Diego innovators, and led Democrats and Republicans to secure almost $450 million for the San Diego border crossing that regional business leaders called San Diego's top priority for job creation. The improved crossing will strengthen border security and create thousands of jobs by improving the flow of trade and commerce. The San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and Downtown San Diego Partnership, who advocate for job creation and supporting San Diego's innovation economy, have endorsed Scott's campaign for reelection.
His Background
Before being elected to Congress, Scott served as chair of the San Diego Unified Port District – a major economic engine that produces tens of thousands of high-skill, high-wage jobs for San Diegans. The Port manages the state tidelands in and around San Diego Bay, which produces $3.3 billion in direct economic impact to the region and supports middle class jobs for more than 40,000 San Diegans.
Scott served at the Port after completing two terms on the San Diego City Council, where he was San Diego's first City Council President, elected to the role three years in a row by his colleagues. While at the City, Scott pursued greater accountability and efficiency in government, with a results-oriented approach. He led the creation of a new council/mayor form of government with an independent budget review function; created an independent audit function; hired the City's first independent budget analyst; completed over $2 billion in downtown redevelopment including a new major league ballpark that generated more than 19,000 jobs; delivered an 80% reduction in sewer spills and beach closure days; set new standards for energy and water conservation in new development; and completed major district infrastructure, including Highway 56.
Prior to entering public service, Scott had a 16-year legal career in private practice, specializing in environmental law. He worked as an associate at large law firms, as a Deputy County Counsel for the County of San Diego, and then had his own small law firm for a number of years.
Scott has also worked extensively as a community leader to grow our economy, improve education, and protect the environment – including service as a member of the boards of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, CleanTECH San Diego, and the UCSD Chancellor's Community Advisory Board, and as Chair of the Climate Initiative at The San Diego Foundation.
Scott earned his undergraduate degree from Duke University and worked as an economist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency before attending New York University School of Law. He and his wife of 30 years, Lynn, are 27-year residents of the 52nd District. They live in La Jolla and have a grown daughter and son.

I'm going to tell you a story. A story about a metric in AdWords that people trusted.
People grew to love this metric, they told their bosses how it was doing, they made changes to their campaigns based on it, and they judged their performance on whether it went up or down.
But those people didn't see below the surface. Lurking under the superficially obvious meaning of the metric was a hidden dark truth: the metric wasn't just pointless, it was lying to them.
That metric is Average Position, and I'm sure quite a few of you are guilty (if unintentionally) of taking it at face value.
Impression share
The first thing to know about Average Position is that it's strongly affected by your impression share. If your impression share for a keyword is near 100% then that's great. But if it's at all off that figure then your position metric will be skewing up.
Remember that you can't see impression share per keyword...
Your ad enters the auction on every search for which your keyword is eligible (barring budget restrictions), but some of the time it doesn't reach the first page.
In those cases you have been rotated off in favour of other advertisers. Your ad's position is still calculated, but if you aren't on the first page you don't get an impression. No impression means no impact on average position.
That's a problem. If you spend 10% of the time in position three and 90% of the time in position 23, your average position will be three. It's misleading to you as a campaign manager about how your keyword performs.
So unless your impression share is 100% your average position is showing a higher value than your true average.
Standard deviation
The next important point about average position is that it's a mean average. That means it's the simple kind of average you learn about at school: the total sum of positions divided by the number of impressions.
Unfortunately it's not very informative.
If you spent every search in position three then your average position will be three. Which is great. But if you spent half the time in position one and half the time in position five, you average position will still be three. Suddenly your average is telling you a position you were never really in.
You may have spent 20% of the time in each of the top five positions. You'll still have an average position of three, but it's incredibly misleading about what's really happening.
A mean average without a standard deviation tells you almost nothing about what your ad is really doing. AdWords won't give you that data (GA will give it to you for your clicks, but not your impressions.
Since you can expect a higher clickthrough rate (CTR) in a higher position, this figure will skew upwards too).
In the chart below, the vertical scale represents impressions per actual position on the page. All three of these distributions will give you an average position of four.
Any frequency distribution (e.g. a chart of the number of times you appeared in certain positions) will either be symmetrical around the mean average, or asymmetrical.
This means that it could be showing a lot of times in position two, then a few times each in all the lower positions. The average might be three, but enough impressions in positions higher or lower could mean that your ad's distribution looks more like a long tail than a normal distribution.
Again, you're going to get no data about this, so you still don't really know what positions your ads were appearing in.
In the image below the average position is 4.4, although positions two and three have by far the highest occurrence of impressions.
Top vs other
Now we get down to what's important: it's crucial that you appear in the top three positions, the banner positions. You can expect your CTR to be 10x to 15x higher in these positions than on the right hand side. That's a 1,400% increase!
If your average position tells you that you are in position 2.5 and you take it at face value, you might believe that you are in the banner most of the time.
But as we've seen, this doesn't really tell you much. We already know that the average position is skewing up if we don't have 100% impression share, and we have no idea what our spread of impressions really looked like.
The top vs other segment comes to the rescue. Top vs other is almost the metric that Average Position is a proxy for.
The top vs other segment can be applied at any level in your campaign, and lets you see the proportion of time you spent in the banner vs the right hand side. This is absolute gold for knowing how your keywords are doing.
If your ads for a specific keyword appear in the banner only 40% of the time, you know that 60% of your impressions could have happened with that higher CTR, if only you'd increased the bid.
So from now on, you're bidding for top vs other proportion, not average position.

A very interesting article about the fallacies of average data, but your article just touches the tip of a much bigger issue. Daily Adwords reports do not only "lie" about position, but they also misrepresent other metrics like click-through rate (ctr), cost per-click (etc) which are important factors that affect the bidding decisions. You correctly point out that there is significant variation in the position of an during a day, but this variation is not observed by the advertisers. For example, if the ad showed up at position 1 for 50% of the impressions and position 5 for the other 50%, all the advertiser knows is that the average position of the ad was 3. In a paper (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1490169) with Profs. Fader and Hosanagar from the Wharton School, we show that
this variation, coupled with the non-linear nature of the ctr-position curve (which usually follows the pattern of a power law or exponential curve), gives rise to what we term as aggregation bias. If the ctr at position 1 is 4% and the ctr at 5 is 0.4%, the daily summary would say that for an average position of 3, the avg. ctr is 2.2%. Not only was the ad never shown at position 3, the ctr at position 3 is grossly overestimated. The problem arises because of Jensen's inequality which predicts that mean of ctr at different positions is greater than the ctr at the mean positions. One would assume that the advertisers are worse off due to this miscalculation of ctr, but surprisingly, a careful game-theoretic analysis reveals that the search engines tend to lose a lot more due to this aggregation bias. Our analysis shows that search engines are losing as much as 17% of their revenues due to this issue. Better data standard in SEM are the need of the hour, and they would help not only the advertisers but more importantly make search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing more profitable.
You can read the complete paper here: V. Abhishek, K. Hosanagar, P.S. Fader, "On Aggregation Bias in Sponsored Search Data: Existence and Implications" -
Remember the first 3 rules of adwords
1. Google wants my dollar
2. Google wants my £
3. google wants my money
I wanted -just for today- to try to be a bit of the devil's advocate.
Even if everything said here makes sense, there could be a couple of exaggerations.
First I don't see that "Lost Impression Share due to Rank" is mantioned anywhere. Whith it you have a clear metric to know how many of your impressions went down below 2nd page.
2nd The Average position, is also no a lie. Is what it is, an average, and is great to have an article like this pointing out the dangers on taking easy, superficial decisions based on Average positions. The analysis is good, but not a prove of anybody lying. How would we be able to manage an account without an average position metric? Even if it "lies" I'd be willing to know a better alternative.
In the adwords interface you can read Avg Position on a search query level (something very, very few people get bothered to look into) This metric is more realistic, but if we should complaint, I agree it tells you only half of the story: only if clicks are involved metrics are showed (no clicks, no search query data). So we can never know which position all impressions had, and we can only trust the Keyword-level metric.
But we do can know on which position our Keywords were clicked, at leats -always-.
About a year ago I couldn't find any critic voice against the positioning control Adwords deprecated. This tool (even if slapy) would let you just bid higher while keeping a controlled position and control the positioning and money spend. Now they want you to use automated rules for this, but the rule acts in a reactive way: you can only adjust based on what happened yesterday, or last week, not on what happens on the fly.
Interesting subject, thanks!
Awesome content! Just as a footnote, you can take an ad group down to a single keyword and then use the dimensions tab to view average position by hour, if you are really interested in that detail of information. Question: If beauty is in the eye of the beholder then is a lie on the tongue of the teller or in the ears of the listener?
I find adwords works really well

The City Heights rock venue located 3519 El Cajon Blvd. is changing hands again. The Void held its last show—an alt-lit reading called Now That's What I Call Poetry—on Dec. 16 and then quietly closed up shop, just shy of one year after changing from Eleven last January.
However, a few calendar items appeared in the last week on the websites of both The Casbah and Soda Bar for shows taking place at a bar called The Hideout, which has the same address as The Void. And a private Facebook page is now up. Shows booked at The Hideout so far are Warm Soda on March 6, The Casket Girls on March 7 and Solids on March 9.
Details about The Hideout are still pretty thin. The Void's owner, Alex Kacha, confirmed via Facebook message that the club has been sold to "investors" who are planning to remodel the space. However, under terms of the sale, Kacha wouldn't disclose who purchased the club or any details about its future. CityBeat reached out to Hideout manager Allen Colaneri but wasn't able to get in touch with him by press time. Casbah owner Tim Mays says that after the first few shows, The Hideout won't regularly feature live music.
The club has turned over numerous times. Before it was Eleven, it was Radio Room. Before that, it was The Zombie Lounge.
Folk-punks Sledding with Tigers have announced that they'll release their debut full-length album, A Necessary Bummer, via Boston's Antique Records in March. It'll be the band's first vinyl release.
Frontman Dan Faughnder says the label initially contacted him about releasing their 15-song Not The Beatles Yet compilation, but he countered their offer with a whole new set of music.
Not The Beatles Yet "isn't even a real album," Faughnder says. "So I told them I was done recording songs for our new album, and why not put that out instead?"
Faughnder also says the new album is "more fleshed-out, instrumentally" than the group's previously released EPs.

NORWICH George Ford Jr. was given the maximum sentence in Chenango County Court Thursday and will spend the next 25 years-to-life in state prison for the murder of 12-year-old Shyanne Somers of Otselic.
I have no doubt that you killed Shyanne Somers. What I dont know is why, said presiding Broome County Court Judge Joseph F. Cawley.
Whats particularly troubling to me is the fear and terror that that younger girl went through in the last moments of her life. I hope that that fear and terror is the last thing you think about every night and the first thing you think about every morning, said the judge.
Shyannes father, James Somers, spoke on his daughters behalf while her mother, Kathy, and other family members looked on in the courtroom.
There is nothing that can be done to replace what weve lost, James Somers said.
He made a choice and that choice ended my daughters life and now you need to make the choice of what will be done with his, said Somers, speaking to Cawley before sentencing.
More details from Thursday's proceedings will be published in Friday's Evening Sun.

After almost getting hit by a driver who was talking on her phone, I have to wonder why so many drivers believe that laws are only in effect when one is caught.
I believe most drivers in the Tri-Cities are by and large careful. But I guess I must have missed when so many laws must have changed. Judging from what I see, you no longer have to stop at a stop sign when turning right. You do not have to drive in the right lane, it is OK to block the left lane, and you can drive 5 to 10 miles over the speed limit.
Also, it is apparently now OK to use your telephone for all those important calls, such as meet me for coffee or lunch. And in traffic circles, you can be the one who is always first, the heck with the other guy. And of course, be sure to run that yellow light.
Now I am sure that I am the not only one concerned about all these things, but if everyone would try to practice what they learned in drivers education, we would all be better off.

text: HOUSTON --A woman was killed while crossing the street in downtown Houston Thursday morning. It happened just before 11am on Travis and Rusk. Police say a driver in a Mercedes appeared to have run a red light, hitting a woman in her 60's who was crossing the intersection. The victim died at the scene. Police say the victim, who has now been identified as Joyce Levine, had the right of way to cross the street at the time. EMS crews tried to revive her, but were unsuccessful. "Everybody's eyes were just huge, they couldn't believe what they just saw," said eyewitness Monico Cortez. Police say the driver was not impaired and the lights appeared to be working correctly. The street was shut down for an hour or so while police conducted an investigation. So far, no charges have been filed.

The New York Times Sunday magazine added to freshman Sen. Tom Cotton's scrapbook rise to celebrity with a full-page interview and tall photo of the young Arkansas Republican who fatuously wrote the letter to Iranians warning them of a bad outcome for the deal supported by the U.S.
The vital statistics of the man included his NBA dream team (which, alas, did not include LeBron James!) and his non-answer as to whether he is dreaming about more trivial matters as a vice presidential candidate on the GOP national ticket in 2016. He cryptically answered: "I am focussed on the work that the people of Arkansas sent me to do."
As Seinfeld's Kramer would blurt: "Oh,Mama!"
All of the commotion about the guy sent me back into the files to learn how he ended up in the Senate in the first place from the Razorback State.
Think: William Kristol, the big-time neocon who merged Sarah Palin onto John McCain's ticket in 2008. Think of the same neocon whose New York Times op-ed columns were eliminated after the editors finally lost patience with his many factual errors. Think of the same neocon who seeks relevancy as editor of the right-wing Weekly Standard as well as the smarmy guest on TV shows. And think of the warrior neocon who was a major figure in calling for the Bush invasion of Iraq and who has now supports a re-invasion of the that country.
Now, think of the neocon as a board member of the Emergency Committee for Israel with considerable sway among other donor allies. Kristol sent upward of $800,000 to his newly bought and paid for Tom Cotton, another acquired alter ego (who happens to be a Methodist).
As I learned in so many years in the newspaper world, names make news. So when you see Cotton's name, you need to know more about what the political world is now talking about, the man who wanted to imprison NY Times editor Bill Keller and two reporters over something the Times printed.
As a congressman in 2013 Cotton also proved he can be damned cruel. He wanted to insert an amendment in an Iran sanctions bill (amendment later withdrawn) that would have severely punished anyone who violated the sanctions. He even levied that on their families as a "corruption of blood" that automatically included "parents, children, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, grandparents, great grandparents, grandkids, great grandkids."
The guy is driven – but would you want to be a passenger?
Lets keep an eye on this dangerous, illiterate Senator, Abe. When I hear phrases like, "contamination of the blood," as the rationale for action against certain people, I'm inclined to exit that wing of the sanitarium. Does no one recall Mussolini's famous phrase, "we think with our blood?" We've arrived at a circle in Dante's Inferno. It's not a good political setting when psychotics like Cotton are taken seriously.
Straight out of North Korea " He even levied that on their families as a "corruption of blood" that automatically included "parents, children, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, grandparents, great grandparents, grandkids, great grandkids.""
Where is the mental screening of politicians?????
A junior Senator is leading foreign policy now. Good times.
Chuck Schumer needs a reality check. Quickly.
A Tom Cotton update from a radio interview yesterday 4/8: Dropping a few bombs on Iran will improve our negotiating position, because dropping bombs always improves diplomatic outcomes.
The count down has begun on when lunatic, deranged assessments like this become normalized. My instincts tell me, as does the obvious deterioration America's overall psychological health, that many people will take this maniac seriously and disregard the fact that this outlook and strategy have failed over the last 25 years.
