My internet and phone were down all day. Time Warner screwed me. I'm sick of this crap that Time Warner does. It just came back up about an hour ago. Just late enough for me to see what happened today. I tried calling TW on the cell, and of course I couldn't get through, just got a message saying that they were xperiencing a high amount of calls, try back later, and then the machine hung up on me.
I was in the middle of a phone conversation with Ameritrade when the phone cut out on me this morning.

World Environment Center The World Environment Center welcomes this fifth annual report of Pemex on Safety, Health and Environment and applauds Pemex’s commitment to the principles of sustainable development. The role of large scale corporations in society is changing at an accelerating pace. Sustainable development –whether at the global or local level– depends on meaningful cooperation between communities and the governments, industries, development agencies, international organizations and NGOs that support growth and the creation of wealth. Pemex is the largest company in Mexico and recently ranked as the eighth largest oil and gas company in the world, and the third largest producer of crude oil in the world. Corporations like Pemex are rethinking their roles in development and searching for new approaches that seek to incorporate sustainable development concepts into worldwide operations that go well beyond environment, health and safety best practices to minimize risks and increase shareholder value. As one of the world’s largest corporations and the leading company in Mexico, Pemex has undertaken the most serious responsibility of developing and implementing a pathway to sustainable development. This is an ongoing process characterized by goal-setting, continuous improvement, and regular reporting of its progress. Pemex’s commitment to sustainable development is supported by a number of initiatives cited in this report: its efforts to benchmark against other leading multinationals in its industry sector; its decision to support cleaner production techniques and processes at its installations; its goal of strengthening its management systems for industrial safety and environmental protection; and its efforts to promote the efficient use of energy and water. While Pemex has made great strides over the last year in a number of key areas related to environment, health and safety, decreases in its air emissions, waste generation, and emissions and discharges per unit of production would be desirable. With its commitment to cleaner production, resource efficiency and stewardship, and improved environmental management systems, Pemex is establishing a framework that will enable it to make further environmental advances. The World Environment Center commends Pemex for its decision to renew and strengthen its social policy in its drive to become a socially responsible business that generates economic, social and cultural value for its stakeholders, the citizens of Mexico. John Mizroch President & CEO World Environment Center

Pemex Wants $9 Billion to Fix Pipes, Oil Spills MEXICO: February 1, 2005
MEXICO CITY - Mexican state oil monopoly Pemex Monday confirmed an oil spill in Veracruz state -- it's fifth spill of oil or fuel in four months -- as energy authorities said $9 billion was needed to fix the country's old and rusting pipeline network.
Pemex said the Jan 26. crude oil spill occurred near the town of Hueyapan de Ocampo, Veracruz. A Pemex spokeswoman in the nearby Gulf of Mexico port of Coatzacoalcos told Reuters around 45,000 liters (283 barrels) of oil had seeped into the subsoil from a faulty pipeline.
She said the leak was caused by corrosion.
Local media have quoted Veracruz Governor Fidel Herrera as saying the spill could pollute underground water sources.
A joint statement by Pemex, Mexico's energy and environment ministries, and environmental watchdog Profepa said Pemex needed to invest 100 billion pesos ($9 billion) over the 2006-2008 period for a huge backlog in repairs to 36,738 kilometers (22,961 mile) of aging pipeline.
The recent spate of spills has thrust attention onto the state of pipes pumping oil, gasoline, natural gas and chemicals around the Gulf of Mexico states of Veracruz, Tabasco and Campeche, where the oil industry is centered.
Pemex chief Luis Ramirez is due to appear before Congress later Monday to discuss the situation.
Mexico's IMP oil research institute estimates that half of Mexico's pipelines are more than 30 years old and corroded.
While Pemex has cleaned up the worst of the spills and trucked bottled water into contaminated areas, residents and fishermen were still suffering the aftermath, illustrated by photos in the local media of dead fish and oil-stained earth.
Pemex, which pays taxes worth 61 percent of its revenue, has complained for years that it cannot operate properly with the budget Congress gives it. Last week Pemex said pipeline repairs would cost $3 billion over six years.
Mexico is the world's No. 9 oil exporter, selling much of its 1.95 million barrels per day to the United States.
A reform to ease Pemex's tax burden by trimming royalties on oil produced from new oilfields has been held up in Congress by opposition Senators wary of any changes to Pemex's statute.
The company is spending the bulk of its $11 billion investment budget this year on exploration and production, its main focus based on concerns that output from its largest oilfield will start declining from 2006.
Pemex officials at a spill of toxic naphtha fuel a week ago near the town of Agua Dulce, Veracruz, told Reuters over the past weekend that the company needs to extend a computerized leak alert system to its entire pipeline network.

Oregon State Has Big Plans for Study of Tiny Microbes
Cleaning up contaminated areas like the Portland Harbor Superfund site and the Umatilla Weapons Depot. Slowing global warming. Removing pesticides to improve water quality.
These are all gigantic endeavors, but ones that Oregon State University researchers believe can possibly be accomplished by the tiniest of organisms - microbes that just might also hold the key to life on Mars.
Subsurface microbes live below the Earth's surface in soil, mud and rock, and their potential to modify the Earth has only been recognized recently.
"Microorganisms below the subsurface play a major role in the cycles on earth," said Lewis Semprini, a professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. "It has only been in the past decade that it was recognized that deep subsurface microbes play a significant role in global cycles."
The work done by Semprini and others led to the Subsurface Biosphere Education Research initiative, one of six initiatives that were recently approved by OSU. All six support OSU's recently adopted strategic plan. The university is reallocating funds internally to provide seed funding for the initiatives.
In 1998, Semprini, and Dan Arp, chair of the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, found that some types of bacteria that grow on butane gas have the ability to transform toxic wastes to harmless endproducts. Using microorganisms to clean up contamination could save billions of dollars, Semprini said.
In 2003, Martin Fisk, a professor in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, and other scientists discovered bacteria in a hole drilled more than 4,000 feet deep in volcanic rock on the island of Hawaii near Hilo. Fisk has said that the environment could be analogous to conditions on Mars and other planets.
"Under these conditions, microbes could live beneath any rocky planet," Fisk said at the time. "It would be conceivable to find life inside of Mars, within a moon of Jupiter or Saturn, or even on a comet containing ice crystals that gets warmed up when the comet passes by the sun." Semprini, Fisk and Arp are three of the principal investigators of the initiative proposal. The others are Peter Bottomley, professor in the Department of Microbiology; and David Myrold, professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Science.
Bottomley and Myrold study bacteria and fungi in coniferous forest ecosystems in the central Cascade Mountains at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. They also study nitrogen and carbon cycles.
The subsurface biosphere is an emerging area of study that connects the fields of microbiology, biotechnology, geochemistry, bioremediation (cleaning up contamination), bioengineering, agriculture, forestry, geology, oceanography, astrobiology and others.
One potential benefit is in the area of global warming. Subsurface microbes are part of the process that forms carbon dioxide and methane, contributing to global warming.
"Microbes may also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the subsurface, potentially playing a key role in slowing global warming," Semprini said.
Semprini said that the microbes also can help immobilize radioactive contaminants, such as uranium, in groundwater so these can be recovered or the transport slowed. They are also miniature chemical factories that have determined ways of producing mineral products with very uniform properties. For example, certain bacteria can produce magnetitic iron particles of very specific sizes that could result in much better magnetitic tapes.
This initiative will include faculty members from five colleges - Forestry, Agricultural Sciences, Science, Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences and Engineering.
"Our ultimate goal is to create a Center of Excellence for Subsurface Biosphere Education and Research," Semprini said. "It has implications for a wide range of benefits, from environmental cleanup to a better understanding of soil processes. We want to create more synergy among faculty on campus so we can collaborate on large interdisciplinary projects."
Semprini said the key to the initiative is that work is already going on at OSU.
In 2001, the National Science Foundation awarded OSU a $2.6 million grant to form the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Program, a graduate student training program to focus on life below the earth's surface.
"There is a significant amount of research already going on and this is a way to get the researchers together and communicate," he said, adding that there will be a potential to offer seed research money for faculty to produce exploratory research findings needed for large interdisciplinary research proposals.
Semprini feels the structure of the Center will evolve over the course of the initiative, and the principal investigators all want the center to live beyond the five years of the initiative.
"We are going to add junior faculty members that fit strategic educational and research needs that have joint appointments between different colleges. This will permit us to increase the courses offered and get undergraduates involved in the research," he said, adding that increasing the diversity of graduate and undergraduate students is also a mission of the initiative.
