One measure would prohibit non-profit hospitals from paying their executives more than $450,000 per year. That's what the U.S. President earns.
The other measure would prohibit hospitals from overcharging for health care.
"You see that crutches cost $800, aspirin costs $25, gauze bandages cost $25 or $35, and everybody's experienced this," says Dave Regan with the Service Employees International Union.
The California Hospital Association says her group hasn't had time to examine the measures, but she finds them counterproductive.
"We're disappointed that the initiatives were filed," says Jan Emerson-Shea. "We've been working very collaboratively with SEIU for the past year-and-a-half."
The union plans to start gathering signatures in January.

Balboa Park institution hosts first U.S. showing of massive exhibit
Museum of Photographic Arts
Founded: 1973 (in Balboa Park since 1983)
Mission: To inspire, educate and engage the broadest possible audience through the presentation, collection and preservation of photography, film and video.
Annual operating budget: $2 million
Chief executive: Deborah Klochko, executive director (since 2006)
Staff members: 17 (full-time)
Governance: 18-member board of trustees; Gary Payne, president
When Balboa Park's Museum of Photographic Arts first started planning its primary exhibition for 2015, the most ambitious video installation in the institution's history, the project was called "6 Billion Others." n But since then the exhibition has grown, as has the population of the world it represents — to more than 7 billion (as of noon Friday, 7,132,305,020 to be exact). Now the extensive exhibit, presented in collaboration with the Good Planet Foundation, is called "7 Billion Others."
Based on interviews and images of approximately 6,000 people and counting, from 84 countries, the project has already been shown in Paris, Moscow and Shanghai. The installation at MoPA — which will also produce "Minor White: Cinema of Stills" in 2015 — will be its first U.S. showing and will incorporate new videos and interviews with San Diego residents.
"In thinking about the centennial, it seemed to be the perfect time and the perfect exhibition for us," said Deborah Klochko, the museum's director. "And by us, I don't mean just MoPA. I mean our region. We have so many diverse people living here. San Diego has the largest refugee population in the United States, and we have all these different languages represented here. … So it just seemed wonderful to have a global perspective."
The exhibit will fill MoPA's atrium with hundreds of individual images of people from around the globe, and each person will have his own story. Inside the galleries, the focus will be on aspects of the exhibition that deal with global themes, from the environment to health care. The exhibition will also have an outreach component, possibly kiosks in the park and in the community that would allow community members to access elements of the exhibit and tell their own stories.
"MoPA is about the power of photography as a global medium," said Klochko. "This is a real demonstration of how the visual image transcends language and culture. It shows how you can use the visual image to understand our similarities."
Making connections
The tech-intensive installation should be right at home at MoPA. As museums move into the digital and new-media age, MoPA has been a national leader in the use of technology to enhance and extend its visitors' experience.
It was an early adapter of iPads and QR codes in its galleries. Last year, it was the first local institution to crowd-source an exhibition through the use of innovative touch-table technology that allowed visitors to register their preferences.
"The integration of technology is more than a gimmick; it's really the basis of how visual information is transmitted in this day and age," Klochko said. "Audiences are changing; their expectations are changing."
Although "7 Billion Others" relies on technology to make the point that we are all interconnected, its impulse is based on the most basic, low-tech interaction: a conversation.
Roughly a decade ago, French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand, best known for his "The Earth From the Air" series, was stranded in Mali. An unexpected conversation with a villager impressed upon him how much they had in common.
He, with Sibylle d'Orgeval and Baptiste Rouget-Luchaire, initiated the "6 Billion Others" project in 2003 and videotaped thousands of interviews while launching a website, writing a book and producing the exhibition.
"Today, we have at our disposal extraordinary tools for communication: We can see everything, know everything," Arthus-Bertrand says in a statement on the project's website. "The quantity of information in circulation has never been greater. All of that is very positive. The irony is that at the same time we still know very little about our neighbors."
Video aspirations
This exhibition aims to help us get to know one another a little better, and in its use of cutting-edge video technology to accomplish that, it also speaks to MoPA's aspirations to move beyond traditional photography.
"We are very good at showing still photography here," Klochko said. "And we have a very strong film program, but it's also a traditional film program, where you sit down together and you watch films.
"In the fall (of 2013) we're going to be doing a contemporary video show, so we're starting to set the stage for technologies beyond the still image. It's really important for us to do that because our mission talks about film and video, but the reality is we skew a little more toward the still image."
The other primary centennial exhibition, "Minor White: Cinema of Stills," will be displaying "still images," but it will focus on "sequences" by the famed American photographer. His pictures — which are intended to be part of a series, a "cinema of stills," in the photographer's words — are rarely shown in context.
"Nobody has ever done an exhibition of the sequences before," said Klochko, which seems unthinkable given White's reputation and his status as a colleague (and equal) of photographers like Ansel Adams. "So it's a new way of thinking about him; it's a new way of reading images. It goes to the heart of what we're doing, in terms of teaching visual literacy and giving people skills to understand the visual world."
The institution's forward-thinking goes beyond its use of technology. Klochko was board chair of the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, and one of her former staff members, Vivian Kung Haga, is now the Online Collaborative's director. Klochko currently is chair of the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership, which is heavily involved in the planning for the 2015 Centennial Celebration of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition.
"For museums, we generally plan two years in advance, sometimes three, so planning the right kind of exhibit as a citywide celebration is being formed is an interesting opportunity," Klochko said, with an emphasis on the word "interesting," given the still-amorphous shape of that citywide celebration.
"I look at 2015 as not just a single-year celebration, but an opportunity to really present the park. We want people to have a good experience and come back. So we want to make sure there's real quality in our exhibitions."
For MoPA, with "7 Billion Others" and "Minor White," that won't be an issue.

Other Information about National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans
Bhutan is located in the Eastern Himalayas which have been identified as a global biodiversity hotspot, and counted among the 234 globally outstanding eco-regions of the world in a comprehensive analysis of global biodiversity undertaken by the World Wildlife Fund (1995-1997). Bhutan has six major agro-ecological zones corresponding with certain altitudinal ranges and climatic conditions (e.g... More »
Main threats to wild species diversity include land conversion, overexploitation, dependence on wood for fuel, pollution by domestic sewage, climate change and forest fires. Forest biodiversity is threatened by the state of the country's development process and their associated needs for forest products, infrastructure development, population growth and living space requirements, rapid urbanization, agricultural expansion, grazing pressures and forest fires... More »
Bhutan has developed and implemented three Biodiversity Action Plans, the first in 1998, the second in 2002 and the third in 2009, with implementation in regard to the latter still in process. It is Bhutan's intention to develop national targets in line with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and to incorporate these targets in the BAP (2009)... More »
The most significant outcome achieved as a result of BAP implementation is the establishment of protected areas constituting 42.70% (protected areas) and 8.60% (biological corridors) of the country's total land area. The protected areas system encompasses a continuum of representational samples of all major ecosystems found in the country, ranging from the tropical/subtropical grasslands and forests in the southern foothills, to temperate forests in the central mountains and valleys, to alpine meadows and scree in the northern mountains...

Biodiversity protection and sustainable development is one of Bhutan's top priorities. As Article 5 of Bhutan's Constitution makes clear, every Bhutanese person is considered a trustee of the Kingdom's natural resources and environment. As a result, the Royal Government is constitutionally enjoined to conserve and improve the environment and safeguard the country's biodiversity, notably by ensuring that a minimum of 60% of Bhutan's total land area is maintained under forest cover for all time...

Monitoring initiatives and tools developed within the framework of the Biodiversity Action Plan include: the publication of the first-ever Field Guide to the Mammals of Bhutan, which provides brief accounts of the physical characteristics, social behavior, habitat and conservation threats of some 200 mammal species found in the country; field studies on the white-bellied heron (Ardea insignis) initiated in 2005 by the Royal Society for the Protection of Nature (RSPN), as well as research and monitoring of the black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis) as a part of their conservation management program in the Phobjikha Valley; and the first Bhutan Snow Leopard Information Management System (SLIMS), with training and field surveys conducted in Thimphu and Jigme Dorji National Park by the Nature Conservation Division (NCD), in collaboration with the WWF Bhutan Program and the International SnowLeopard Trust...

The Phanatic should be grabbing anyone, but that doesn't stop him pic Vincent J Brown/flickr
Can the lovable Phillie Phanatic be a mascot who's time has come and gone? That lovable kid's style mascot that we've all laughed at Phillies games over the years is actually a renegade with a dual personality. The Phanatic is supposed to make people happy by associating himself with Phillies baseball and getting a laugh or two along the way. What happens sometimes though, is the Phanatic getting out of control by barging his way through the seated crowd at an already cramped seating area at Citizens Bank Park, spilling drinks, uprooting food and generally causing chaos at times, to even worse offenses that have the Phanatic going to special events outside of the baseball stadium and injuring people at those events.
The latest story about the Phanatic's rude follies has him in Avalon, NJ in 2010. He's supposed to be like a 'Ronald McDonald' type of character - just waving to the crowd and making nice with people at a party. The Phanatic somehow displayed his 'Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' side again as he picked up a sun chair that had a 30 year old lady on it and promptly threw them into a swimming pool, chair and all. Yeah, that's really nice to do to someone, and the result of that was that the women has injuries now that are permanent from that stunt.
The Phillies organization has known about these problems that the Phanatic has been causing for some time now. In fact, the Phillie Phanatic is the most sued mascot in sports. All joking aside, that really isn't funny when it comes to this mascot representing a baseball team. The Phanatic is even crude and borderline obscene with the way he acts at times in the stadium in an attempt to get laughs.
Why do the Phillies continue to support this type of behavior? Even a poll of best team mascots had the Phanatic losing to 'Mr. Met' this year, a more docile type of mascot who doesn't manhandle people.
What's more is that this most recent lawsuit is a case that is getting coverage on the news from Maine to Hawaii, Europe, and everywhere in between. Talk about bad publicity. The Phanatic is a mascot who's original intention of making people happy has turned ugly in recent years. There are countless stories of this very heavy costumed guy climbing on top of old people in the stands and breaking bones to the Phanatic shaking people that have no business getting moved around by force, like he does when he is trying to be funny.

As everyone probably doesn't know, I am the guy behind the "Lancia x Top Gear" prints (that Patrick shared) and the "Car Silhouettes" that were shown on Jalopnik.
For my next piece I wanted to celebrate DRIVE. I believe that /DRIVE is one of the best things to happen for automotive enthusiasts in the last few years. They are currently in their 8th season and have provided a platform to celebrate the culture of cars and to bring audiences closer to automobiles. This has been achieved by going to races, factories, studios, and by allowing presenters to provide thought (and comment) provoking commentary on automotive products.
To celebrate this and as a way of saying thank you I made a project that highlights each of the shows under the /DRIVE network in print format. I have tried to capture the essence and theme of each show in a series of illustrations, as shown below. (I think the Jalopnik one is extra special and contains the names of a few Jalops).
You can view my website here
PS - Ive just spent a year freelancing but want to join a studio/company, so please get in touch
After Drive:
Based on the furniture used in the show and how after a drive you relax.
Big Muscle:
Based on a supercharger, a component used in achieving big horsepower and a common setup on the cars feature.
Chris Harris on Cars:
Based on the driving style of Chris (sideways and out of frame), the fact he is mostly on a track, and the Ferrari F40 - a car that Chris says is the reason he loves cars.
Based on the reflections in a cars paintwork after it has been detailed and cleaned.
Drive Apart:
Based on a classic motorcycle helmet.
Based on a steering wheel, the common denominator among all the cars driven on the show.
Driver's Eye:
Based on the typical view a racing driver sees when in a race.
Based on the machinery used to transport vehicles across the production line when they are being built.
Based on the common toolbox of a car enthusiast, which is who Jalopnik mostly caters for (as well as the general public). If you look closely the tools are "stamped" with the initials of the writers and some of the more prominent commentators.
Live and Let Drive:
Based on the romanticism of the journey.
Ring Tested:
Based on the map view of the famous track, with a tick to say "pass" or "ring tested".
Road Testament:
Based on discussions about cars by the car community and general public (in this case representing a Porsche 911 - a car that generates a lot of discussion).
Based on the pitboard present at every racing fixture.
Based on the difference between the original and tuned cars.
Hope you guys like it.
The Jalops shown are all the writers (their initials) and:

What's this?! A new rating for a Daytona USA video game? What could it mean?! If we're venturing guesses, we'll go with Sega reviving the classic arcade racer for an Xbox Live Arcade and/or PlayStation Network re-release.
But that's just an educated guess, based on the fact that Sega has already released games like Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi through Microsoft and Sony's respective digital distribution stores. An HD console release of Daytona USA, which is what we're inferring from a recent Australian classification board listing spotted by XBLA Fans, would certainly be welcome.
It's as good a candidate for an XBLA/PSN release as any in Sega's back catalogue. The classic arcade racer has received multiple ports, including one for Windows PCs and one for the Sega Dreamcast.
We're checking in with Sega to see if they'd like to clear this one up.

Orlando Bloom Cozies Up to Model Lykke Glommenby Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Miranda Kerr, who? It seems Orlando Bloom is moving on with his love life, this time with Swedish model Lykke Glommen.
Rumors were swirling around the sticky situation in Ibiza last week, when Orlando took a swing (and a miss) at Justin Bieber, claiming that tensions started when the pop star allegedly canoodled with the actor's then-wife Miranda. If that were the case, it must not have bothered the 'Lord of the Rings' elf too much, because he's already found his next love interest.
Lykke Glommen, 20, was spotted with Orlando, 37, during the very same Spain vacation that the Bieber tussle occurred. According to Us Weekly, the leggy blonde cozied up with him on the dance floor, and the pair later went jet skiing.
"He's really taken with her," a source told Us. "He was spending a lot of time with her and got her info. He is planning on seeing her again." The insider made sure to add that despite the blossoming romance, Orlando is "not looking to settle down just yet."

Burbank accountant accused of stealing from assemblyman's campaign fund
A Burbank accountant who has worked as a campaign treasurer for many prominent California Democrats is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the election fund of Assemblyman Jose Solorio (D-Santa Ana), according to a criminal complaint released Tuesday.
Kinde Durkee, head of Durkee & Associates, was arrested Friday afternoon at her firm's Burbank office on a federal charge of mail fraud. She remained in custody awaiting her scheduled first court appearance Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles.
According to an affidavit accompanying the criminal complaint, Durkee took money from her clients' bank accounts and filed false campaign reports to cover up her actions.
When interviewed by FBI agents, Durkee "admitted that she had been misappropriating her clients' money for years and that the forms she filed with the state were false," the affadavit says.
The mail fraud charge stems from the alleged filing of falsified campaign reports. Prosecutors allege that Durkee transferred money from her clients' accounts to pay her own business and personal expenses, including mortgage and credit card payments.
The complaint alleges that on two separate occasions in 2010, Durkee transferred funds totaling $677,181 from an account belonging to the Solorio for Assembly 2010 committee to Durkee & Associates business accounts without Solorio's permission or knowledge.
The withdrawals were not reported on disclosure forms filed with the state.
Among other expenditures, more than $30,000 of that money went to pay for payroll expenses for Durkee & Associates, the complaint alleged.
An additional $17,533 went to pay American Express bills that included charges at Baskin Robbins and a Disneyland restaurant and the purchase of Amazon.com gift cards, while $4,950 went to help pay expenses for Durkee's mother at an assisted living facility.
Solorio issued a brief statement Sunday with the subject line "I've been robbed."
The assemblyman said he hired Durkee "because she was regarded as a highly respected professional and, for decades, the treasurer for the campaigns of many prominent elected officials in the state."
Lauren Horwood, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Sacramento, said the case may widen to include activity involving the accounts of Durkee's other clients. Horwood said she could not say how many other clients might be victims.
The FBI investigation began with a referral from the Fair Political Practices Commission, which investigated Durkee.

A Chinese company claims to have successfully cloned Apple's Lightning cable, and has produced its own third-party cable and dock.
The iPhone 5 Flash Lightning Dock has been created by iPhone5mod, and is one of the first third-party accessories with Apple's lightning connector standard to be mass-produced.
Apple has yet to authorise third-party Lightning-equipped accessories, and has been reported to be demanding that any Made For iPad, iPhone or iPod companies that want to launch a Lightning product must produce them in an Apple approved facility, which there are currently none of.
READ: Apple's iPhone 5 Lightning connector spawns accessory delays
Apple's Lightning connector requires a specific authentication chip, which meant that unauthorised third-party accessories were unlikely to be compatible with the iPhone 5 and other Lightning devices.
Chinese suppliers were said to be working to clone the chips, but it was expected that this could take some time and mean that compatible accessories would not be available for months.
iPhone5mod's Flash Lightning Dock is reported to be capable of the same functionalities as Apple's Lightning cable, with the added bonus of a dock, and even a glowing cable.
MacRumors reports that iPhone5mod have said that they are "currently using original Lightning controller chips from Apple's supplier," which ensures the correct functionality, and enables support for iTunes, data sync, battery charging for the iPhone 5 and future iOS upgrades.
Following the discovery of iPhone5mod's Lightning Dock, the company's website experienced such high traffic that they were forced to close temporarily to update their server.
iPhone5mod also claims to have got their hands on "cracked chips that bypass Apple's authentication functions," and that those are up to the same standards as Apple's chips.
This indicates that third-party Lightning accessories are about to flood the market, while Apple's Lightning adapters continue to be in short supply, and some customers have even received a refund for their order.

Here now is my version of this absolutely stupendous dish!!
This is absolutely my favorite dish!!!
Chicken kitcheree with khuri( curry yogurt sauce)
click on pic.
I was going to post this menu two weeks ago but unfortunately my sweetie dropped my camera on the slopes. This "mogul maniac" was going at a crazy speed when the ski patrol chased him halfway down the mountain and finally caught up with him and cited his a.. He did however finally buy me another camera, hence the reason for me blogging again. So all is forgiven!
Khuri (curry yogurt sauce)
Drizzle over the spring salad/ or the bundt
click on pic
Language itself cannot explain how absolutely palate pleasing this menu is!!! I find myself saying ooooh! mmmmm! wowweeee and acting completely inappropriately when I prepare these dishes. I am overcome with a paroxysm of glee and I cannot suppress it! It is that good!
Even though, the spices and the way I prepare my rice and chicken are old family recipes, this dish was inspired by "Chicken Kitchen"( restaurants in Miami). Of course I love my flavors better and I took it a step further by encasing the chicken and rice in phyllo dough and now everybody says "Now you've gone and done it missy!"
Groete Suid Afrikaners!
Woorde alleen kan nie hierdie heerlike maal beskrywe nie. Die geur alleen sal jou voorsmaak heeltemal bedwelm! Die enigste motief agter hierdie spoggerige maal met al die ingewikkelde voorbereidings is pure plesier. Geniet asseblief!
Die uwe,
Duiselige gastronomer.
Chicken kitcheree encased in "Athens" phyllo pastry baked in a bundt pan. Adorned with toasted nigella seeds ( Kalonji) and a spring salad (lettuce, avos, cucumbers and grape tomatoes).
click on pic ( A crispiness that only "Athens" phyllo delivers!)
A little slice of Heaven! I prepare the basmati
rice with sauteed onions, roasted garlic, vegetables etc....
click on pic (This bundt slices perfectly)
This was my Mom's bundt pan which is giving
me the same amount of joy. Only she used to
make the real McCoy.
Lightly grease your pan and layer several
sheets of phyllo dough into the pan, brushing
only the 5th layer with melted butter.
Layer alternating rice and chicken layers
and then cover with several sheets of phyllo
brushing only the 5th layer. I only used about
2T butter in all.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 mins.
- Please use organic ingredients when possible.
- 4 large chicken breasts with bone and skin( The skin and the bone in keeps the breasts juicy when baked. You will however discard these after baking.
- garam masala( I roast my own mixture)
- my home made blend of masala for chicken
- fresh oregano
- dry mustard powder( Coleman's )
- kosher salt
- lemon pepper( I make the lemon part from scratch)
- 1 ball of pounded garlic
- olive oil
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- my homemade prepared panko mix. See turkey roulade for this panko mix
For the khuri:
- quarter cup organic Greek yogurt
- half cup Miracle whip plus 3 t
- 1 t turmeric
- 1 t Annie's organic yellow mustard
- 1 t dry Coleman's mustard powder
- half cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- half t red pepper flakes
- pinch organic sugar
- pinch kosher salt
This is what my neck of the woods looked
like today. Blizzard conditions with zero
visibility. Last week we had springlike
weather but apparently Father winter
made a comeback!

short time
Thank you Selba for this really cute award.
Please everyone grab it and pay it forward.
This post is in memory of my Uncle Toyer. " Swank" was indeed his middle name!
"If I said to you and Mom, I want you back I would not be lying!"
"If only for a moment to abate this incessant crying!"
God knows best!!!!
Experiment globally!

I will start by saying I liked this band better when they played black metal. I will also say that this EP is a regression from their last release, which was a regression from their last release. MY guess is they're trying to get paid, which I can't say I blame them for, if you had a chance to make more money doing something you love, then go for it. Even though their genre ( and if someone calls them screamo I'm going to lose it.) is still completely different then what they started at, they still stand worlds above the other bands similar to them. And I will stick by my opinion that the singer has a good singing voice. But my big beef is: if you're going to have clean vocals.... stop fucking screaming. That's pretty much all I have to say about this.

Dear BYU receiver corps:
This is Eric Drage. This is the only image I was able to find of Drage in the amount of time I had, which is both sad and illuminating.
I guess I can't blame the Internet for not remembering Eric Drage. He was 6'0", 185 lbs. He wasn't considered fast enough to play at his hometown school, the University of Arizona. He didn't have a professional football career. Even in this picture, he just looks like another small, skinny, slow white kid playing football at BYU.
But this is why the Internet is completely mistaken for not remembering Eric Drage. During his three years of starting at BYU, he caught 162 passes for 3065 yards and 29 touchdowns. He would throw his undersized frame at every pass thrown his way, catchable or not. In high school, he played with broken fingers. At BYU, he played with broken ribs. Eric Drage gave absolutely everything he had on every single play. He NEVER dropped a pass. EVER. He caught every catchable ball thrown his way, and a bunch of the ones that weren't. I have never seen as many sick, disgusting, and amazing catches out of one player than I saw from Drage. Most players would give up on the balls he caught. I watched him have to juggle a high pass three or four times before reeling it in for a TD. I saw him drag himself on the ground underneath a safety to catch a tipped pass. He went after high passes over the middle. He went after passes that would be hopelessly out of bounds or too far ahead of him for mere mortals to catch.
Eric Drage was the epitome of a BYU receiver: slow, undersized, overachieving, determined, fiery, precise, resourceful, and intelligent. And over all else, he caught the freaking ball. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. There's two parts to the equation of Quarterback U. We know plenty about the first part, the quarterback. But equally important in that equation are the receivers, and BYU has always had fantastic receivers. Nothing flashy about them - they just caught the ball, no matter where it was, or whether they were technically a running back, fullback, tight end, or receiver. Too many to name in one post. Guys like Matt Bellini, Ben Cahoon, Kaipo McGuire, Chad Lewis, Itula Mili, Chris Smith, Gordon Hudson, Glen Kozlowski, Tyler Anderson, Reno Mahe, Curtis Brown, and on and on.
Anyway, you who are getting a free college education playing a skill position at BYU would do well to emulate Eric Drage. You have the physical tools to be better than he was. You just need to get your heart and mind into it, on and off the field. And catch the freaking ball.
That is all.

HOUSTON ConocoPhillips (COP.N) has beaten its 2017 asset sales target less than four months into the year, after shedding $30.8 billion worth of energy assets in six years.
But instead of a chorus of cheers on Wall Street, Chief Executive Ryan Lance is facing investor skepticism that the company can deliver growth from remaining oil and gas fields.
ConocoPhillips' most recent sales of Canadian oil-sands properties and U.S. natural gas wells for a combined $16 billion will part with nearly 30 percent of its proved reserves in order to deliver near-term shareholder payouts and pare debt. For a graphic, click tmsnrt.rs/2pKHtZQ
Lance told Reuters the sales to Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) and Hilcorp Energy Co will fulfill promises to reduce long-term debt by 42 percent to $15 billion, fund $6 billion in share purchases and help reshape the company for an era of low and volatile energy prices.
Drilling in two shale regions should help restore falling U.S. output by the fourth quarter.
"I don't worry about production and reserves in the company," he told Reuters in an interview, citing oil and gas fields that could be upgraded to proved reserves over time.
ConocoPhillips can achieve flat to 2 percent annual production growth on its properties, after adjustments for sales, and deliver shareholder payouts, he said.
But interviews with portfolio managers, former employees and industry analysts point to the frequent sales as a short-term fix. They worry ConocoPhillips' plan for modest production growth, flat capital spending and steady shareholder payouts pales in comparison to rivals that have retooled themselves to deliver sharply higher growth rates.
The danger of its reliance on fewer assets was driven home in recent weeks as a fire at a supplier hurt its ability to ship crude from oil-sands properties.
Mike Breard, who tracks energy stocks for Hodges Capital Management, said the strategy lacks appeal.
"If I wanted yield, I'd buy something else. If I wanted growth, I buy something else. I just don't see what customers would want to be in that in-between situation," Breard said.
The Houston company projects its daily production of crude and natural gas will fall 26 percent after the latest sales to about 1.16 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe). Barclays expects overall it won't return to production growth on a full-year basis until 2019.
"They've sold a very valuable asset," said Marc Heilweil, senior portfolio manager at Atlanta-based investment firm Gratus Capital, referring to the oil-sands holdings.
The deal will "make it harder for them to fully replace reserves down the line" because shale-oil properties have shorter productive lives, he said.
To ensure growth, oil producers must continually add reserves to offset production and the natural decline that occurs in oil-and-gas properties.
In 2012, ConocoPhillips spun off its refining business, leaving the ranks of the large, integrated companies like Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) and Chevron Corp (CVX.N), and putting it among a group of mostly-small U.S. independent exploration and production companies.
Lance, who was the company's technology chief, became ConocoPhillips' chairman and CEO upon the spin off. He pledged to boost output by 3 percent to 5 percent annually by tapping its large pool of deep-water, oil-sands and conventional oil-and-gas properties. That goal ended two years later as prices collapsed, forcing it to borrow heavily to cover its spending on production. ConocoPhillips later cut its dividend.
Its lack of exposure to refining has helped its shares stand out recently. The company's stock is down 4.3 percent year to date, even after an about 9 percent jump following the March 29 disclosure of a $3 billion addition to its share buy backs. In contrast, Chevron is 11.5 percent lower and Exxon is off about 10.8 percent in the same period.
Of analysts with published ratings on the stock, 7 rate it a strong buy, 11 rate it a buy and 6 rate it a hold. That compares to Chevron with 6 strong buy ratings, 12 buy ratings and 3 hold ratings.
Last fall, Lance recast ConocoPhillips as an energy company able to offer steady shareholder returns on flat production spending of about $5 billion a year. It shaved its growth target to as much 2 percent, instead of up to 5 percent, and promised 20 percent to 30 percent of operating cash flow would go to holders via dividends and buy backs.
He insists the remaining assets can generate substantial cash from operations even if oil CLc1 falls below $40 a barrel. ConocoPhillips is ramping up output from its Eagle Ford and Bakken shale wells, from another oil-sands property and liquefied natural gas (LNG) from operations in Australia.
Meanwhile, rivals have cranked up their production much faster. U.S. shale-focused companies project 15 percent volume growth this year, says consultancy Wood Mackenzie, and the larger oil producers such as Chevron are raising output and delivering fatter dividends.
ConocoPhillips will be producing an average 1.25 million boe a day in 2019, estimates Barclays. In contrast, Chevron projects its daily output this year will rise between 103,000 boe and 233,000 boe over 2016's average 2.59 million boe, excluding divestitures. Chevron pays a 4 percent dividend.
The risk for ConocoPhillips investors is the growth in production doesn't generate higher free cash flow for share buy backs, and the 2 percent dividend yield, about half that of Chevron, becomes the bigger part of returns.
Henry Smith, co-chief investment officer at Haverford Trust, which invests in companies offering revenue growth and dividend gains, sold ConocoPhillips shares ahead of its 2016 dividend cut and has not been tempted back by the new strategy.
ConocoPhillips' pledge to deliver steady returns and growth is appealing, said Smith. But, he added: "Exxon over the years has fit that bill." Haverford's oil-industry holdings are Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), Chevron and Schlumberger NV (SLB.N), he said.
Tom Bergeron, an equity analyst at Frost Bank, also prefers other oil producers such as Chevron and Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY.N) for what he said is their expected growth and their higher dividend yields.
Lance, who worked summers as an oilfield roughneck while studying petroleum engineering in Montana, said he understands investors want proof the company can deliver regular payouts without the asset sales.
"It'll probably take performance through a cycle to demonstrate we have the position and the passion to deliver," he said, referring to the industry's boom and bust periods.

Greenwich is known for many things. Nautical history and the accompanying benchmark of world timekeeping. Old pubs and great London views from the royal park. Foodie highlights? Less so.
But there is hope, for an area which as a microcosm of tourist London is awash with tacky Tex-Mex venues, generic chains, smelly chippies and all you can eat Chinese buffets.
The market is a slightly condensed Spitalfields, with solid coffee from the Dose Espresso cart. Or if you're daring, you could venture into the madhouse café Red Door. The abysmally named (and yet rather decent) Hola Paella offers Monmouth Coffee, the paella of course, but also a fully stocked Spanish deli and wine store.
Two recent meals I had were at Buenos Aires Café and The Hill. Buenos Aires café is on the villagey stretch of Royal Hill, with no shortage of Ye Olde Worlde cosiness, but not much in the way of modern hospitality trends. There is a fantastic butcher, greengrocer, fishmonger and cheese shop, but nay a flat white, negroni or rare iberico pluma in sight. Borough, Bermondsey and Maltby are not far however, and yes the traditional feel is Greenwich's appeal. I'm not sure that this should apply to food though.
But on to Buenos Aires. It's an Argentinian deli and café, which is to say ostensibly a regular Spanish or Italian deli, but with malbec, Quilmes and the odd empanada. I'm not sure which came first, but they also have a steak place in Blackheath, which is really where the Argies come into their own. My empanada here was fantastic, as are the sandwiches constructed to order using freshly sliced meats and cheeses from their extensive deli offering. Cheap too.
The Hill is an old pub converted into a neighbourhood Italian. But with a very regional British feel. There are huge pizzas, pastas and pints on offer. It's a little bit like the inexplicably lauded restaurants of leafy Cheshire. That said, the staff are lovely (and Italian) and the food is reasonable.
We shared a charcuterie platter (£9.50) and both had the tagliatelle al cinghiale – wild boar ragu, at about £11. It was sweet and well-flavoured but a little bit too mushy for my taste. I like my ragu slow-cooked for hours, with meaty solids and less of a sauce. It's an ok option for a local, but not worth travelling for.
Greenwich itself is a little of everything we have in London. At the better end and not covered here, they have a Rivington Grill here as well as the fancy dining room at The Spread Eagle. But the good options are outweighed by the rubbish. To be fair, at weekends tourists outweigh locals – but this is seven minutes to London Bridge, not Sevenoaks itself, so the many '90s offerings are inexcusable.
Southeast London is on the up; Brockley, East Dulwich, New Cross, Bellenden Road – all these areas are dynamic and evolving. Greenwich would benefit ridding itself of a lot of the absolute rubbish in the centre, and keeping up. Contemporary dining does not detract from the many historical attributes of London's film set.

The History of Game AI
Part of the stated mission the AI Game Programmers Guild is to document the history of game AI. This is, by its very nature, not only an ongoing task, but a large and daunting one as well. We have been testing a wiki-based site where the members of the AIGPG will be adding information about past and current game titles including:
- The types of AI used
- Tidbits of information that made them special
- Possible commentary from the designers and programmers
- Source code (when available)
We hope that this project will be informative and educational not only to game AI programmers, but to the game community at-large.

Military Science
Army ROTC Program Introduction
The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a unique college elective. It takes no more of your time than would most other college courses. The credits you earn from ROTC classes go toward your diploma. And when you graduate, you'll receive a diploma and a commission as a Second Lieutenant (2LT) in the U.S.
Army. ROTC training goes beyond the typical college classroom. You could be leading your classmates on a tactical "mission", or taking part in outdoor adventure training designed to improve your ability to solve problems under stress.
You'll learn skills you would expect to find in an Army officer including how to motivate co-workers, cope with the unexpected, and organize large, complex tasks. But you'll also learn skills in demand today in the civilian and business world such as teamwork, tact, and effective communications. You'll learn from experienced Army officers and noncommissioned officers and, in time, help pass on what you've learned to newer students as well.
ROTC Program Structure
Traditionally, Army ROTC is a four-year program. The first two years comprise the Basic Course. This includes classroom studies in such subjects as military history, leadership development and national defense. You can enroll in the military science degree program for the first two years without incurring any future military obligation (if you don't have an ROTC scholarship).
After you've successfully completed the Basic Course, you can compete to gain admission into the Advanced Course. It's during this part of the program that you'll get to put your newfound management skills to the test. Of course, you'll also continue to get instruction in tactics, ethics and professionalism.
As a cadet in the Advanced Course, you'll spend the summer between your junior and senior years attending the National Advanced Leadership Course. There, you'll be asked to handle the complex tasks of a unit leader. You may have to lead your group across difficult terrain or build a bridge across a river. You may have to solve difficult personnel problems, or be in charge of expensive military equipment. It's all meant to teach you how to think quickly when the pressure is on, and how to motivate your team.
Then, as a cadet in the Advanced Course, your management skills will continue to be sharpened. You'll teach new ROTC students what you've learned. And when you graduate from Northwest Nazarene University with your military science degree, you're ready to be a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army.
Can I enroll even though I am not a First Term Freshman?
Enrollment in the ROTC program is traditionally a four-year program, in which an incoming freshman enrolls during the first semester in college. However, enrollment can still be achieved up through the end of the second year in college. Basic Course ROTC credit and Advanced Course enrollment can be achieved in a few different ways:
- Sophomores can compress the Basic Course into one year.
- Sophomores with Junior ROTC can meet the requirements of the first year of the Basic Course.
- Sophomores can attend the Leader's Training Course during the summer preceding their junior year.
- Veterans, Army National Guardsmen and U.S. Army Reservist can enroll directly into the Advanced Course at the start of their junior year.
The Basic Course
The Basic Course takes place during your first two years in college as elective courses. It normally involves one elective class or lab each semester. You will learn basic military skills, the fundamentals of leadership and start the groundwork toward becoming an Army leader. You can take Army ROTC Basic Courses without a military commitment.
- Freshman Year: The Role of the Army
- Sophomore Year: The Role of an Officer
The Advanced Course
The Advanced Course takes place during your last two years in college as elective courses. It normally includes one elective class or lab each semester, plus a summer leadership camp. You will learn advanced military tactics and gain experience in team organization, planning and decision-making. To benefit from the leadership training in the Advanced Course, all cadets must have completed either the Basic Course or have attended the Leader's Training Course. Entering the Advanced Course requires a commitment to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Army after you graduate.
- Junior Year: Small Unit Training
- Senior Year: Transition to Becoming an Officer

Dan BarrowsDan Barrows, a character appearing in one of the game's climatic fright scenes, returns in the sequel as the main antagonist. His physical form is greatly changed in the sequel. The PlayStation release of the original Clock Tower attempts to explain this transformation in a cutscene.
Jennifer SimpsonThe game's heroine, Jennifer Simpson, apart from sharing her first name also bears some physical resemblance to actress Jennifer Connelly. Connelly starred in the 1985 horror movie Creepers/Phenomena which is said to have provided several horror motifs used in Clock Tower.

Wins some, loses some. Makes things interesting.
I associate many things with Toshiba and none of them are even remotely associated with mobile phones, but this looks all set to change.
The 3GSM unveiled 'G900' is a horizontally sliding smartphone with a remarkable 3in 800 x 480 (WVGA) resolution screen which should finally be enough to see web pages in their full native glory. While backing up this surfability is the all-crucial (iPhone absent) HSDPA.
Elsewhere a two megapixel camera is no great shakes and neither is the 64MB of internal memory (expandable via miniSD), but there is 802.11b/g wireless and Bluetooth with A2DP support. I'd like some dimensions and a weight figure here since the G900 does look hefty but good things come to those prepared to put up with a little foreplay. Wait. "What?"
Moving swiftly on we also find Tosh showing off the 'E01', a slider that also manages HSDPA, A2DP Bluetooth and sports a 2MP camera. The downside is the display only manages 65k colours which is a little disappointing in these days of 262k screens. Still, rumour has it Vodafone is showing Toshiba the love for both these handsets and we should see them hitting stores around the beginning of Q2.
So now I need a Toshiba REZGA HD TV, Toshiba HD DVD player and perhaps even a Toshiba G900 smart phone… Variety, I've always said it's the spice of life. It's why I have cornflakes and gravy in the mornings.

FS#323 - Tooltip for render speed status bar has wrong unit
Opened by Jonathan (redmasq) - Thursday, 29 May 2014, 12:44 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Tuesday, 29 November 2016, 12:17 GMT
Tooltip popup for render speed always displays as "Pixels per Second" rather than matching status bar. I've noticed it in 3 renders so far. Most of my renders are fast enough not to see any other unit besides PPS, but I should be able to reproduce again if necessary.
Found it in povray/windows/pvtext.cpp line 1976 on 3.7-stable branch.
case StatusPPS : if ((s = strchr(str, ' ')) == NULL) break; *s = '\0'; sprintf(sbToolText, "%s Pixels per Second", str); break ;
String was hard-coded. Either I or someone with time on their hands will need to review to see if the unit is available in scope or retrievable by method or property.
Status bar itself is updated from povray/windows/pvengine.cpp line 677 on the 3.7 branch
char *PPS_String (unsigned pixels, unsigned renderseconds) { static char str [128] ; if (rendersleep) return ("PAUSED") ; if (renderseconds == 0) return ("??? PPS") ; if (pixels / renderseconds < 5) { if (pixels * 60 / renderseconds < 5) sprintf (str, "%u PPH", pixels * 3600 / renderseconds) ; else sprintf (str, "%u PPM", pixels * 60 / renderseconds) ; } else sprintf (str, "%u PPS", pixels / renderseconds) ; return (str) ; }
The method could be moved to pvedit.cpp, but the original renderseconds and pixels at first glance doesn't seem available. If I can trace the flow of the number, perhaps the original string could be sent instead. Otherwise the string could be converted using something like strtoul, math applied, and then string rendered appropriately. Barring rounding errors, it would match then.

Now tracked on github as issue #162.

Wheaton, Ill. - The Wheaton College football team lost a 15-10 battle with Bethel University on Saturday afternoon in the Second Round of the NCAA Division III Football Playoffs. Wheaton ends its season with a 10-2 record, while Bethel is now 11-1. Bethel will play at St. Thomas next Saturday in a Quarterfinal Round game of the playoffs.
With 2:02 left in the first quarter, running back Joey Skogen completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to open wide receiver Freddy Ellis to give Wheaton a 7-0 lead. Ellis' touchdown capped a six-play drive that went 60 yards. Wheaton's 7-0 edge would hold for the remainder of the first half and would be the score at halftime.
A Wheaton fumble at its own 45-yard line led to Bethel's first points of the game. The Royals reached the end zone 11 plays after the Wheaton fumble on a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Josh Aakre. The ensuing two-point conversion for Bethel failed as Wheaton held a 7-6 lead 7:52 left in the third quarter. Bethel kicked a 27-yard field goal as time expired to end the third quarter to give the Royals a 9-7 lead.
Wheaton junior Scott Roche booted a 49-yard field goal with 11:51 remaining in the game to give Wheaton a 10-9 advantage in the contest. Four drives later, Bethel capped a 39-yard drive with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Aakre to Logan Flannery. The ensuing two-point conversion failed as the Royals took a 15-10 lead with 1:37 remaining in the game.
On the following drive, Wheaton got the football to the Bethel 29-yard line; however, on fourth down with five yards to go, the Bethel defense stopped Wheaton two yards short of the first down to give the Royals the ball. After the Wheaton defense stopped the ensuing Bethel drive, the Thunder regained the ball with 16-seconds remaining in the game. The Wheaton drive started at the Thunder 44-yard line and consecutive 12-yard and 11-yard completions to Ellis put the ball at the Bethel 33-yard line with six seconds remaining. Wheaton's final pass fell incomplete as time expired, with the Thunder rally falling short.
Following the game Wheaton head coach Mike Swider noted, "That's a tough way to lose a game. We had our opportunities. But we didn't take advantage of them." He added, "We had a chance to win right down to the very end. I thought we were going to win. I thought our offense was going to go down and score and get the win." He noted of his team's season, "They've played so hard all year. We've won four games coming from behind. This team plays the entire game. I'm so proud of them. They competed for four quarters all year. They gave us everything they had and held nothing back. I couldn't have asked them to work any harder, to train any harder, to do any more. They did everything I asked them to do."
Wheaton recorded 212 yards of offense today, running for 104 yards and passing for 108. Bethel had 318 offensive yards, with 240 yards on the ground and 78 passing yards.
Defensive end Robert Ramsay led a strong effort by the Wheaton defense with 17 total tackles (five solo), including 1-1/2 quarterback sacks (10 yards). Juniors JD East and Jordan Chapman each made 13 total tackles, as Chapman recovered a Bethel fumble. Linebackers Cory Hart and Richard Jacobson each made 11 tackles, with Jacobson making two tackles for lost yardage (-11 yards). Brian McMullen made 10 total tackles, with an interception.
Thunder quarterback Jordan Roberts completed 13 of his 23 passing attempts for 96 yards and he ran for 47 yards. Joey Skogen ran for 45 yards on 11 carries with the first-quarter touchdown pass. Ellis ended his Wheaton career with five receptions for 50 yards and the first-quarter touchdown catch.
Flannery carried the ball 30 times for 141 yards and he caught a pair of passes for 27 yards, with the touchdown catch to lead the Bethel offensive attack. Aakre completed seven of his 19 passing attempts for 78 yards, with one touchdown. The Royals' quarterback ran for 61 yards on 19 carries. Linebacker Ross Petterson led the Bethel defense with 10 tackles and Mike Sedjo added seven tackles.
Bethel head coach Steve Johnson, noted after the game, "Our defense is the number one key. We are a defense that runs well and adjusts well and keeps the game tight." He continued, "We missed some passes that were open and close. You can't get discouraged."

A clever iPad-based Halloween costume
"NASA engineer Mark Rober," writes CNET, "used some red sauce and two iPad 2s in order to pretend, at whatever Halloween convention he might be attending, that he has a vast, open, and bloody wound through the core of his torso." Nice:
I was just telling our 3-year-old Finn that a kid we know dressed up as an iPod a few years ago. Finn looked at me blankly until I said, "er, iPhone–he dressed as an iPhone." ("iPod" may as well have been "phonograph" in his little world view.)
