Analysis: TransCanada's East Coast oil pipeline to change trade dynamics

By Sabina Zawadzki and David Sheppard

(Reuters) - TransCanada Corp's plan to build one of the world's longest oil pipelines has reverberations far beyond Canadian shores.

The planned 2,700 mile pipeline, which will bring crude from Canada's energy capital of Alberta to refineries and ports on the East Coast, has the potential to upturn the dynamics of the North Atlantic oil trade squeezing out some imported crude to North America and revitalizing once-ailing refineries.

The Energy East line could also reinforce North Sea Brent crude as the world's oil benchmark against which giants such as Saudi Arabia price their western-bound exports, analysts say, while opening up the option of more Canadian heavy crude flowing to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The scale of the $12 billion, 1.1-million barrel per day (bpd) pipeline, which will extend part of an old natural gas line, is hard to understate. Were it to start in London, it would stretch all the way to Tehran. In the United States, it could pump crude oil from Beverly Hills to New York City.

And its capacity is greater than the entire oil production of Azerbaijan, could provide 6 percent of daily U.S. oil consumption or, put another way, has the ability to carry 30 percent of Canada's total daily oil production.

"In the short and medium term, this isn't a project focused on exporting heavier Canadian oil to the U.S. Gulf Coast," said Mark Routt, a senior energy consultant at KBC in Houston, who has a number of clients interested in the project.

"The initial stage of this project will be primarily about sending light sweet crude to Canadian refineries."

That could effectively wipe out Canada's need to import crude for its eastern refineries. They now import around 700,000 bpd from North and West Africa and Latin America because Canada's own supplies lie across a vast wilderness in the far West.

Africa and Latin America will have to find a new home for their barrels by 2017 or 2018, if the pipeline is completed on time.

The twinning of the project with a plan to build and operate a new deepwater export port in Saint John, New Brunswick will give oil producers an outlet for the 400,000 bpd or so of leftover, after Canada's eastern refineries consume their share.

"The next stage would be to potentially expand the project to ship light sweet crude to refineries on the U.S. East Coast," Routt said.

Several refineries on the U.S. East Coast have shut down in recent years due to poor economic performance. Access to Canadian sweet crude, cheaper than European and African imports due to transportation costs and the lower U.S. benchmark price, could support the plants that remain.

BEYOND CANADA

Canadian oil producers have even further-reaching ambitions for the pipeline, with some looking at the feasibility of exporting barrels to Asia.

TransCanada Chief Executive Russ Girling said oil producers in Alberta were looking to reach markets as far away as India.

John Auers, senior vice president at refinery specialist Turner, Mason & Co in Dallas, said that while it is an ambitious goal, it could one day be possible for Canadian crude to compete with Middle Eastern producers for market share in the Indian subcontinent.

"India has now built up a fairly decent base of heavy crude capacity," said Auers. "(TransCanada) can go all sort of ways."

Sandy Fielden, analyst at consultants RBN Energy in Austin, said the majority of Canada's heavy crude exports from the line would still end up closer to home.

"The obvious competition will be with heavier Mexican and Venezuela crudes into the U.S. Gulf Coast," he said.

European refineries are a less likely destination, Fielden added, as most are geared toward lighter crudes such as Brent.

CONSOLIDATED BENCHMARK

Another outcome the East Energy line might bring is the reinforcement of Brent crude oil as the world's premier benchmark, analysts said, amid talk the grade is losing relevance and could see a challenge from a rival exchange in Asia, where demand is rising.

"A preponderance of light sweet crude moving East could consolidate Brent's benchmark's status," said Ed Morse, managing director of commodity research at Citi.

"Saudi Arabia and Iran and other Middle East producers feeding into the European market would be increasingly dependent on benchmarks defined in the local Atlantic Basin markets."

Morse said heavier barrels moving on the pipeline could also eventually provide a new "sour" benchmark for the region.

Several analysts said the increased capacity of the Energy East pipeline from an initial proposal of 800,000 bpd reflects uncertainty over Canada's other grand pipeline projects.

TransCanada's own Keystone XL project, which would expand its ability to ship heavy crude to Gulf Coast refineries by 830,000 bpd, is yet to get off the ground after years of waiting for U.S. approval and has become a target for environmental groups.

Proposals for pipelines to the West Coast, which would allow the country to ship oil to the lucrative Asian market, are opposed by Canadian indigenous people, or First Nations.

"Now, there are a lot of moving parts, but if we assume there are ongoing problems with getting approval for Keystone XL and Enbridge's planned pipeline to the West Coast of Canada then you can see why they've expanded this project," Fielden said.

TransCanada said one project does not replace the other and that it has long-term commitments for Keystone XL, which has always been designed to carry heavier crude from the tar sand fields.

North America is adjusting its infrastructure to the landscape that has been emerging in the oil industry in the past five years with the advent of shale oil and gas and the Canadian tar sands. Pipeline companies have spent billions of dollars building new pipes or reversing the direction of old ones.

Turner, Mason's Auers thinks there is always a risk of over-building, but believes the Energy East pipeline is a major stage in North America's adjustment to its energy renaissance.

"We look at North America as a whole. If you export Canadian light crude that provides room for U.S. light crude."

World Missions: Overcoming Barriers to the Fulfillment of the Great ...

The Cultural Barrier

Closely related to the ?linguistic barrier? is the ?cultural barrier.? Actually, however, they are not the same, and warrant separate treatment in an itemized description of the missionary task. Those without a good understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and the complexity of human relationships and communication often make the mistaken assumption that, as long as an accurate linguistic translation has been made, effective communication has taken place. However, effective communication involves much more than language alone.

As alluded to in the previous reference to Hebrews 1:1?2 in the discussion of the ?linguistic barrier,? God himself, through the incarnation of Jesus, has taken the initiative, and given us the example par excellence to follow. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 9:19?22, gives the classic articulation of this principle for missionary praxis:

Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God?s law but am under Christ?s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.

Normally, those who come from the same cultural context as the intended receptors of the message will be more effective at communicating in a culturally relevant manner than those from another cultural context. There are situations, however, in which there are not yet enough evangelists and disciplers available from the local cultural context to effectively reach everyone. In these situations, the most effective evangelists and disciplers (even though they come from outside of the cultural context) will usually be those who best adapt to the cultural context.

Donald Larson, reflecting on years of field experience in the Philippines, offers the following observations that corroborate this line of thinking:

Noise takes many different forms. For example, when a sender uses a language in an unfamiliar manner, this ?foreign accent? constitutes a kind of noise for the receiver. In certain instances, it is difficult to differentiate noise from reinforcement. For example, when the receiver has a strong case of prejudice against the sender, every message may be obscured in part by a kind of noise emanating from the receiver?s feeling that ?I don?t believe a thing this guy says.? Noise and reinforcement, in the sense used above, account for the discrepancy between the message as the sender sends it and as the receiver understands it. . . . All sorts of complications set in when information is passed from one culture to another. Insiders know the patterns; aliens don?t. When an alien tries to communicate with a group of insiders, his patterns and theirs begin to clash. Differences between them suddenly appear; old habits hang on persistently. . . . Fluency, however, is not the same as an insider?s awareness of communication patterns. An American in the Philippines may have a native-like control of pronunciation and grammar, yet he may not have learned to preface each request with a good bit of small talk. (15)

In general, missionary theorists and practitioners have long seen effective cultural contextualization as one of the most important factors affecting the ultimate success of the missionary enterprise. However, this often requires hard, diligent effort on the part of the missionary. The following are merely a small representation of the many comments that could be presented in support of this thesis:

Cross-culturalism refers to the learned skill of relating to people of other cultures within the contexts of their cultures . . . The above definition implies several characteristics of cross-cultural missionaries. They have gone through a process of culture and language learning to become cross-cultural. Becoming cross-cultural requires many hours of listening, speaking, observing, asking, and experiencing?all within the local cultural context. (16)

Some missionaries seem to have greater sensitivity to cultural differences, a greater patience for learning from others, and a greater willingness to subordinate personal goals to mission and national church objectives?traits essential to establishing and maintaining cross-cultural relationships. At a deeper level, however, credibility relates to the worldviews of the missionaries and the people they serve . . . We often see best after we live deeply in another culture?after we put on other glasses and then look back on our own cultural presuppositions. (17)

A technical grasp of a culture assures no more than a curio hunter?s interest and understanding of a people. Some individuals may never be able to see the larger structure that constitutes the culture. Many can, but they will need to be taught to ?spell? and form ?sentences,? then construct flowing cultural ?paragraphs.? For most students, it will be a long, difficult study involving years among the people. It is not likely to be gained during a few months of short term service. (18)

In any case, in spite of the progress that may be obtained by diligent efforts toward appropriate cultural contextualization on the part of missionary workers, in order to reach a greater effectiveness in the communication of the gospel, it is almost always best to transfer the main responsibility of communicating the gospel to those who come from the same cultural context as the intended receptors as much as possible, and as soon as possible.

Apple acquires Passif, low-energy wireless chipset developer

Apple has reportedly purchased a low-energy wireless chipset developer named Passif, a company whose technology seems a good fit for the future of mobile. Jessica Lessin reports:

The company in recent months purchased Silicon Valley-based wireless chip developer, Passif Semiconductor, according to people briefed on the deal. Passif develops communication chips that use very little power. Its technology, which includes a radio that works with a low-energy version of Bluetooth called Bluetooth LE, is promising for health-monitoring and fitness devices that need extra-long battery life. (Apple, of course, is working on one of those.)

Apple has bought and invested in a bunch of wireless and chipset companies over the years, including PA Semi and Intrinsity, the fruits of which have surfaced in everything from faster existing chipset architectures to Apple's first custom-designed system-on-a-chip (SoC), the Apple A6. The more Apple can do in-house, and the more they can use each piece to make the overall puzzle better, the bigger the differentiation they'll be able to achieve from competitors, and the more precisely they'll be able to service their own future plans.

So, business as usual. Smart business.

Race Walkers feature prominently on Chinese team for Moscow

All five of China?s reigning global medallists in race walking events have been named on the team for the 2013 IAAF World Championships in Moscow.

Olympic 20km Race Walk champion Chen Ding will contest his specialist event alongside Olympic bronze medallist Wang Zhen and Olympic fourth-place finisher Cai Zelin.

Si Tianfeng, the Olympic bronze medallist, will compete in the 50km Race Walk with the two men who finished ahead of him at the Race Walking National Games: Wu Qianlong and Li Jianbo.

Liu Hong, who took silver in Daegu two years ago, leads the Chinese women in the 20km Race Walk while Olympic bronze medallist Qieyang Shenjie has also been named in the event.

There are several other medal hopes on the team of 53 athletes. Li Jinzhe, the long jumper who won at the Shanghai Diamond League meeting, goes to Moscow ranked fourth on this year?s world season lists.

High jumper Wang Yu smashed his PB with 2.33m to win at the Beijing World Challenge meeting before taking bronze at the World University Games.

Shot putter Gong Lijiao, who currently sits at fourth place on this year?s world season list, is no stranger to the podium at major championships, having won bronze medals at the 2012 Olympic Games and 2009 World Championships.

Zhang Peimeng broke the Chinese 100m record earlier this year with 10.04 to qualify for Moscow. He is joined on the team by the athlete whose record he broke, Su Bingtian, and the pair will expect to feature in the 4x100m final.

Zhang Wenxiu, bronze medallist in the Hammer two years ago, is once again on the Chinese team. But 2011 World champion Li Yanfeng and 2011 silver medallist Liu Xiang will not be in Moscow.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) ? Wearing a black rain suit and a soft smile, Inbee Park looked calm as ever standing before the imposing Royal & Ancient clubhouse just moments before she teed off Thursday in the Women's British Open.

Only after her unsteady round of 3-under 69 did Park reveal perhaps the biggest surprise at St. Andrews.

She was nervous.

"But then once the round started, and especially playing so good in the first few holes, that really gave me a lot of confidence," Park said. "I didn't feel much pressure when I was playing during the round. I'm just glad that it's already started and I got the first round under my belt."

Park wound up three shots behind Morgan Pressel and Camilla Lennarth of Sweden, a solid start to what should be a fascinating week at the home of golf.

Her pursuit of history looked more like a high-speed chase when the 25-year-old South Korean made six birdies in 10 holes. Three poor tee shots, two three-putt bogeys and one double bogey from a pot bunker on the back nine made her realize there's a reason no golfer has ever won four majors in a single year.

"Felt like a roller coaster today," Park said.

She was only too happy it finally stopped with a 6-foot birdie on the 18th hole, ending a slide during which she dropped four shots in a five-hole span.

Pressel, one spot out of making the Solheim Cup team this week, caught a break when the rain and wind never materialized in the afternoon. She made seven birdies in a round of 66 that gave her a share of the lead with Lennarth, who birdied the 18th.

Stacy Lewis, the former No. 1 player in women's golf, shot 31 on the tougher back nine for a 67 to be part of a large group that included former U.S. Women's Open champion Na Yeon Choi and Nicole Castrale. Another shot behind were Paula Creamer, Catriona Matthew and Lizette Salas.

Those who played early had reason to worry.

Lewis was on the 10th tee when she looked over at Park knocking in an 18-foot birdie putt, her fifth of the round. Castrale had not yet teed off when her husband saw a leaderboard with Park's name in a familiar position.

"It's amazing, the fact we all possibly can play with history," Castrale said. "It's amazing what she's done to this point, the composure she has. I don't know what she shot today, but I'm going to guess she'll be in the mix come Sunday."

If there were nerves on the first tee for Park, she didn't show it.

She opened with a wedge into about 7 feet for birdie, and then she really poured it on with an astounding display of her putting stroke. She rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 3 with perfect pace. She made an 18-foot birdie on No. 4 and a 35-footer on No. 6. It didn't look as if she would ever miss. Her sixth birdie came at the 10th, when her sand wedge checked up to 5 feet right of the hole. Another birdie.

Just like that, there was a feeling of inevitability about this Women's British Open, much as there was for Tiger Woods when he won the British Open for the first time at St. Andrews by eight shots to complete the career Grand Slam in 2000.

But not for long.

It started with a tee shot into thick grass to the right of the 12th fairway. She saved par with another great putt, this one from 15 feet, but she couldn't save herself much longer. After another poor tee shot on the 13th, she came dangerously close to a large gorse bush. She chipped to 15 feet and made bogey, her first of the day. A delicate pitch-and-run helped her avoid another bogey on the 15th after a third tee shot to the right.

Park appeared to be in big trouble when her approach rolled toward the high face of the vetted wall in a pot bunker short of the 16th hole. She considered a shot over the wall toward the flag, but then wisely turned sideways and blasted out to some 90 feet away, her ball about halfway between the flags of No. 2 and No. 16 on the double green. Her first putt wasn't hit nearly hard enough, and her par putt from 15 feet caught the lip.

"A little disappointing, but I'm glad that I've done that in the first round instead of the final round," she said.

It was only her second double bogey in a major this year.

She also three-putted the 17th from 40 feet when her first attempt came up 10 feet short, leading to another three-putt bogey.

"I thought that I fixed my problems coming into this week. I was hitting it so good on the practice round and I didn't really miss any balls," Park said. "I thought I was really prepared, but those couple of bad shots really shocked me. I couldn't really concentrate on the greens when I hit those shots. I've learned my lesson. Good thing I've got my time to fix that today and tomorrow."

Only four months ago, Park and Lewis were battling for No. 1 in the world until the South Korean left everyone in her wake by adding to her collection of majors. The Kraft Nabisco Championship put her in position to take No. 1 away from Lewis, and the playoff win at the LPGA Championship and four-shot win at the U.S. Women's Open brought her to the brink of something grand.

Lewis and Karrie Webb were on the 11th tee when they saw Park make another birdie.

"We both looked at each other and shook our heads," Lewis said. "We knew she was going to be there, but it's like she keeps doing it over and over and over again."

Lewis made up ground on the back nine. And when rough weather didn't arrive, plenty of others took aim on the Old Course. Park was tied for 18th on a day in which 73 players broke par. Her biggest test might come if the strong wind arrives before Sunday. She's not ready to think that far ahead.

"If I could walk out of this tournament with no regrets, that's what I'm looking to do," she said. "That's all I could ask for."

Appeals court says feds don?t need warrant to track cell phone location data

Cell Phone Location Data Tracking

Let?s hope you weren?t betting on the courts to rein in the government?s expansive surveillance powers. IDG News?reports that the United States?Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has decided that the government doesn?t need to get a search warrant before tracking citizens? location data on mobile phones. Specifically, the court ruled that the Constitution?s Fourth Amendment ?protects only reasonable expectations of privacy,? which it says don?t include cell phone location data because ?a cell phone user makes a choice to get a phone, to select a particular service provider, and to make a call, and because? he voluntarily conveys his cell site data each time he makes a call.? The government?s warrantless tracking of cell phone metadata is just one aspect of the National Security Agency?s controversial spying program, which also allegedly includes extensive warrantless collection of Americans? digital communications.

NCAA selection committee adopts more flexible approach to setting tournament matchups

INDIANAPOLIS ? The NCAA announced changes Thursday to the way it will select teams for the men's basketball tournament, adding flexibility in hopes of keeping teams properly seeded.

The selection committee voted last week to change the bracketing principles in hopes of keeping teams where they naturally belong, Chairman Ron Wellman told reporters. In previous years, the committee has had to move a team up or down one or two lines to accommodate rules such as when conference teams can meet in the tourney.

Previously, conference teams couldn't meet until the regional final ? unless a conference had nine teams in the field.

The move comes in the wake of realignment that has seen league numbers swell over the past few seasons and has made the old rules difficult to navigate. The Big East, for instance, had 11 teams make the tournament in 2011 and 2012, and with more league expansion, conflicts seemed more likely to pop up.

The changes will not affect which teams get into the tourney. But they will allow conference teams that have played only once during the season ? including league tournaments ? to meet as early as the third round. Teams that have played twice will not face one another until the regional semifinals and teams that have played three times cannot meet until the regional championship.

Most of the conflicts didn't show up until the Sunday of selection weekend, when the bracketing debate is going full bore.

"It was a real struggle because we feel the seed lines are really important to the competitiveness of the tournament. The committee spends hours scrubbing the seeds," Wellman said. "We compare No. 1 to No. 2, No. 2 to No. 3, so on right through No. 68. At the end of the day, we feel that the seeds are in proper order. ... Then we go to bracketing, and oftentimes we move a team either within the line or we have moved a team two lines a couple of years ago, and a number of teams one line. So there was great discomfort with that."

During the call, NCAA spokesman David Worlock noted that in recent years, two teams were dropped two lines ? Marquette in 2007 and Brigham Young in 2012. Wellman also said there was a long debate in the selection room last year regarding Oregon, which wound up with a No. 12 seed and played in one of the First Four games at Dayton, Ohio.

The concern is that by moving teams from line to line across the field, it impacts the entire 68-team tournament.

"The debate was considerable as to what we should do and what was best for not only Oregon but the tournament, and of course the teams that were going to be playing Oregon," Wellman said. "When you move a team off of its seed line, you're not only affecting that team, but you are affecting the team that it plays and the teams that it might eventually play. So it has a tremendous impact."

To see how the new guidelines would work, NCAA staffers looked at the last three tourneys and found 90 percent of the moves were eliminated.

The biggest fans of the change might be coaches, who expressed their concerns this summer in a meeting between Wellman and representatives of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

What else will be different?

Top teams from the same conference could find themselves playing in the same region sooner than in the past.

Under the old rules, the committee was barred from placing more than two teams from one conference into the same region unless that league had at least nine teams in the field, and the top three teams from a conference had to go into different regions.

Now, committee members will get more flexibility. The top four teams from each conference will be separated by region only if they appear among the top 16 overall seeds, the top four in each region.

Committee members also voted to try and avoid non-conference rematches during the First Four and the second round, and agreed to relax the rules if two or more teams from the same conference are among the last four at-large bids. Those last four would meet in the First Four.

The committee also discussed imposing a deadline for when information would no longer be considered, a move that likely would lead to playing league championship games earlier in the day or week. That was rejected.

The overall goal remains the same: Making the NCAA's marquee championship event even better.

"We do believe that the seed lines are going to be honored to a greater extent, much greater extent, than they have been in the past," Wellman said. "The coaches and other groups have overwhelmingly supported the concept of honoring seed lines as a priority going forward."
