A UK resident detained at Guantanamo Bay has won a High Court ruling that the government should disclose material which he says backs his torture claims. Binyam Mohamed, who is facing terrorism charges, says the documents support his case that the evidence against him has been obtained through torture. Mr Mohamed, 30, has been held at the US military prison in Cuba for four years. The judges said the information relating to him was "not only necessary but essential for his defence".

Read today they are going to do a 410 MW uprate at the local nuclear power plant. The uprate alone will supply enough energy to power the entire county, 3 TWh. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
Speaking at the same event, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University blamed U.S. and international regulators such as former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan for failing to restrain an explosion in financial innovation and lending that led borrowers to rack up debt they couldn't repay. He criticized guidelines known as Basel II for encouraging too much self-regulation of banks. ``It was a massive failure of the brains of the economy,'' said Stiglitz. ``There was a party going on and the regulator with the same mindset of those in the party didn't want to be a party pooper.''

The CFTC [Commodity Futures Trading Commission], which learned about the nature of Vitol's activities only after making an unusual request for data from the firm, now reports that financial firms speculating for their clients or for themselves account for about 81 percent of the oil contracts on NYMEX, a far bigger share than had previously been stated by the agency. That figure may rise in coming weeks as the CFTC checks the status of other big traders.
In the face of this:
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- The U.S. energy secretary said Saturday that insufficient oil production, not financial speculation, was driving soaring crude prices. [...] "Market fundamentals show us that production has not kept pace with growing demand for oil, resulting in increasing prices and increasingly volatile prices," Bodman told reporters. "There is no evidence that we can find that speculators are driving futures prices" for oil.
I would think so.

Um, no, that's the role of market-makers. A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

In theory. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
How do you reconcile higher "efficiency" with higher price volatility? The "true" price can't fluctuate as much as the "market" price does, and speculators increase volatility.
So if the tracking error increases, how can you claim price signals are strengthened? Because overshoot is good? A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

I'm not quite an hour into "There Will Be Blood," the Daniel Day-Lewis starring film about the birth of the oil industry. Fookin' Brilliant. The parallels to the birth of the wildcattin' wind industry are spooky. Seems to be much to learn here, to understand, the connection with money and power and deceit.

I was talking to an ad company about these digital capture systems a couple of weeks ago, and they'd been testing angular resolution. Most systems produced a true resolution between HD and 2K, so even though this is a nominal 4K system, the real performance will be less because of the lossy compression and noise.
Still - if it's around 2K, it's still a bargain compared to giant optics strapped to big reels of emulsion, and good enough for entry level feature film work.
