Super fracking is going to lead the oil industry to new heights of profitability and will eventually rid American dependence on energy from unreliable sources.
Will 'PNF/F' cause the inevitable to be delayed or will he cave because the political pressures will be too great to resist. You decide.
My view is that he will embrace it wholeheartedly after having paid sop to the Greenies prior to the election.
Why? because he is a political chameleon without principles beyond getting elected so he retains the power to wrought more change. (See 1 below.)

One of 'PNF/F's'favorite world leaders. (See 2 below.)

South Carolina's message to me is rooted in a public mood of anger, frustration and misplaced faith. Anger at the press and media, anger at and frustration with politicians of all stripes, anger at and misplaced faith in government. "PNF/F's" class warfare campaign has also helped create anger at each other.
Permit me to explain.
What I believe happened in S.C.was the spill over effect of below the surface frustration over press and media types bent on bias and sensationalism. Newt knows how to hit soft balls out of the park and he brought this frustration to the surface. When Newt gets angry you know he is angry. When Romney gets angry you know he is miffed.
Obviously, voters are disgusted with political gridlock and a Democrat controlled Senate that has not passed a budget for over a thousand days. Here again, Newt presided as Speaker during a period when Congress functioned well enough, with a Democrat president, to balance the budget, cut, if not gut, spending and eliminated welfare, as we knew it.
Voters feel they have been duped into believing they should place their faith in government, ever expanding government, only to find government has failed them and has not measured up to expectations. In essence, voters have discovered they were sold a bill of goods, were sold the Brooklyn Bridge, for which they and our progeny now owe trillions with no rationale way to pay off this crippling debt. The consequence is a lowering of our living standards.
Ironically, a party that professes to care about family values just witnessed a fairly conservative state disregard a series of serious personal peccadillo's because voters concluded Newt is better able to handle and defeat 'PNF/F.'
If Newt is nominated whether that will prove the case remains to be seen but on a given day voter angst decided Newt was the best and most trustworthy horse to ride into the fray.
Finally, I believe 'PNF/F' is not as personally popular as the polls and media/press types would have us believe. Voters quietly want him packing and believe Newt is more committed and will be more effective in accomplishing this goal.
Once again, I trust Americans more than what the press and media want us to believe.
Voters are disheartened watching their nation sink and by a president dividing them who is running away from the stench of his failures. Taxing the rich as a solution is pure crap talk!
Americans are uncomfortable with the direction 'PNF/F's' policies and philosophy are taking us and, here again, on a given day, concluded Newt best expressed their feelings.
Specific to S.C., after Sen. Edwards voters there must be more immune to marital infidelity as is the nation after Kennedy and Clinton. Sad but we no longer seem offended by public office holders who chase skirts.
Does the image of the Italian Liner laying on its side , a foundering wrecked a graphic symbol of how voters feel about our nation's current prospects and future? You decide! (See 3 below.)
---
This is a snap shot of North Dakota. Why is 'PNF/F' opposed to growth>? (See 4 below.)
---
Because I have been substituting 'PNF/F' for our president's name I have received an untold number of e mails inquiring what this means. I even wrote a previous explanation in an earlier memo and will do so again.
Obviously many of my claimed memo readers are not paying attention.
Several weeks ago president Obama was interviewed by a CBS reporter (I did not watch) and was asked where he would place his presidency. Obama responded he would consider his presidency was the fourth best, even above George Washington. That is the PNF, ie. President Number Four!
The other F is because he loves to play golf.Thus President Number Four/Fore!

Meg Heap is running for District Attorney and I intend to actively support her because we need to address Savannah's crime problems with an effective and competent attorney in that position.
The current officeholder is pathetic, his stifling over management style has proven disastrous and driven many competent staff to leave
Meg is someone you need to meet and I am planning such an opportunity on one of these dates March 15, April 19 and/or 26. More later.
We all complain about poor candidates offering to run for public office.
Meg Heap is one big heap of competence and she needs and deserves our support!
This is what her Finance Chairperson said about her: "As the mother of a murder victim, I was most impressed by Meg during the trial of my daughter's attackers.In coming to know her better in recent months, I am firmly convinced Meg has what it takes to return our DA's office to an appropriate level of competence, and to rebuild the necessary rapport with the police department.With our help, Savannah and Chatham County will be a safer, saner place to live."
This is an unsolicited comment from a friend of Meg and someone I have known and respected for over 40 years: "I don't think people have any idea how much the DA's office has changed since Larry went into office. And they are not good changes, unfortunately. This may be the most important political race in Sav. in a long time. I am actually deliriously happy Meg decided to run.She is everything and more that a DA should be..."

1) Like Fracking? You'll Love 'Super Fracking'
Oil service companies roll out new technologies to break up more earth more
cheaply
By David Wethe
Few energy industry practices have sparked more controversy than hydraulic
fracking. First, wells are drilled horizontally below the surface, allowing
a single bore or pathway to reach vertical pockets of oil and natural gas
trapped between formations of shale and other rock. Then high-pressure jets
of water, sand, and chemicals are pumped into the ground to create fissures
through the rock so oil can seep out and be retrieved. Regulators,
environmentalists, and academics are studying whether the practice can
damage the environment.
Undeterred, oil services companies including Baker Hughes and Schlumberger
are continuing their quest to devise ways to create longer, deeper cracks in
the earth to release more oil and gas. These companies are no longer content
to frack-they want to super frack.
High crude prices and newly accessible oil and gas embedded in shale rock in
North America are driving the wave of innovation. The more thoroughly that
petroleum-saturated rock is cracked, the more oil and gas is freed to flow
from each well, raising the efficiency-and profit-of the expensive process.
For example, the growing use of movable sleeves, a tubelike device with
holes that fits inside a well bore, lets drillers target multiple spots to
dislodge entrapped oil. This technique can reduce the $2.5 million startup
cost of a fracking well near the Canadian border by up to two-thirds,
according to a recent analysis by JPMorgan Chase. Multiply such savings by
hundreds of wells added in that area each year, and you start to understand
why the industry is so eager to hone the process. "I want to crack the rock
across as much of the reservoir as I can," says David A. Pursell, a former
fracking engineer who's now an analyst at Tudor Pickering Holt in Houston.
"That's the Holy Grail."
Baker Hughes has set its sights on creating "super cracks," a method of
blasting deeper into dense rock to create wider channels. The aim of the
technology, branded as DirectConnect, is to better concentrate the pressure
of fracking fluids to reach oil or gas farther from the well bore, which
existing methods fail to do as effectively.
The company also is trying to speed up the fracking process. Wells usually
are fracked in steps, as plastic balls are dropped down to plug the well at
various stages and isolate different zones for fracking. It can take days to
get a drilling rig to the site and fish out conventional frack balls, which
can get stuck over the course of 20 or 30 preparation phases in a typical
well before production can begin. With land-based rigs renting for up to
$30,000 a day, reducing such delays is critical. So Baker Hughes has
developed disintegrating balls, which turn into powder "like an
Alka-Seltzer" after a couple of days, says Rustom Mody, vice-president for
technology.
Schlumberger, after six years of research, has developed a technique called
HiWAY. The technology can generate bigger cracks in surrounding rock
formations than current methods by combining fiber with typical fracking
materials such as sand so the stuff clumps as it's being pumped in repeated
pulses and at high pressure into the side of a well. The number of customers
using HiWAY in North America has grown from two a year ago to more than 20,
Schlumberger says. Chief Executive Officer Paal Kibsgaard told investors in
October that the HiWAY technology is yielding larger oil and gas production
while using less water and sand than conventional fracking. (Schlumberger,
in a quiet period prior to the Jan. 20 release of its earnings, declined
comment.)
Halliburton, the No. 1 provider of fracking services, also based in Houston,
is trying to reduce the amount of materials and labor used on each well.
It's rolled out RapidFrac, a series of sliding sleeves that open throughout
the horizontal well bore to isolate zones for fracking. Fracking fluid is
then injected at high pressure through multiple holes exposed by the sliding
sleeve, cracking the surrounding rock. The process can be faster and cheaper
than the most popular fracking method, which involves sending an explosive
charge down the well to blast one hole at a time.
The critics aligned against fracking, let alone super fracking, aren't
impressed. "If critics already think fracking is bad, theoretically, super
fracking would be super bad," says Kirk Sherr, president of Regester Larkin
Energy North America, an industry consultant. Doctors attending a fracking
conference in Arlington, Va., in early January called for a federal
moratorium on the technique in populated areas until the health effects are
better understood.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is studying whether
fracking can contaminate water resources. The technique also has raised
concerns about excessive water consumption because of the millions of
gallons needed to frack each well. And local officials in Texas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas, and Ohio have voiced concerns about recent outbreaks of small
earthquakes in areas where drilling has been accelerating. Seismologists and
academics doubt that fracking itself has caused the quakes. "The fracturing
process is not causing the problems that are perceived by the public," says
David B. Burnett, director of technology at Texas A&M University's Energy
Institute. He also says the wider or deeper fractures that result from super
fracking won't create bigger environmental problems. "No change in
fracturing technology would change that," he says.
However, a 2010 study by seismologists at Southern Methodist University and
the University of Texas at Austin found that the injection underground of
wastewater from the wells may be affecting subterranean pressures in the
rock, triggering tremors. Says Amy Mall, senior policy analyst at the
National Resources Defense Council: "Just like any other type of fracking,
we need a lot more independent scientific data and research to understand
the risks and how best to prevent them." Yet as long as high oil prices
create big profit incentives to pursue extraction techniques beyond
conventional drilling, energy companies likely will continue to explore ways
to squeeze money from rocks.
The bottom line: Despite the furor over fracking to extract oil, energy
companies are developing ways to make it more destructive-and profitable.

2)Obama’s Favorite Foreign Leader
Jonathan S. Tobin
The Washington Post’s Jackson Diehl is a normally sober observer of foreign affairs so it’s a bit disappointing to see him writing today in defense of Turkey’s Islamic government. Diehl’s starting point was to debunk Rick Perry’s comment in last week’s debate in South Carolina in which the Texas governor claimed Turkey was run by “Islamic terrorists” and questioned its continuing presence in NATO. Of course, he’s right that the government of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is not quite the equivalent of Hamas or Hezbollah, but as Michael Rubin noted last week, it has became a major sponsor and enabler of terrorism. While Diehl makes the point that Turkey has been somewhat helpful to the U.S. on Libya and Syria, on the issues of Middle East peace and the threat from the Iranian nukes, it has been a disaster.
Which is why I think the most distressing aspect of Diehl’s defense of Turkey as a reliable American ally is the fact that he says its leader has become one of the few foreign leaders with whom Barack Obama has a strong relationship. Obama has, according to the Post, spent more time speaking on the phone with Erdogan than any other ally. Indeed, in a cover story interview with Time Magazine, Obama told a fawning Fareed Zakaria that Erdoğan was someone with whom he had become friends and forged “bonds of trust.” It speaks volumes about the deplorable state of American foreign policy that Erdogan is someone with whom Obama is most comfortable.
Diehl’s main point is that Islamists are the “new normal” in the Arab and Islamic worlds. That may be true, but his optimism that groups like the Islamic parties that now control Egypt’s new parliament will turn out to be more like Turkey than Hamas or Iran seems not only naive but also underestimates the extent to which Erdogan has opposed American interests and values.
Under the tutelage of Obama’s buddy, Turkish democracy is in a free fall with journalists and opponents of the ruling party being jailed. Abroad, Turkey has not only abandoned its long standing alliance with fellow American friend Israel but has become the leading supporter of the Hamas terrorist group on the international stage. Just as bad is Erdoğan’s refusal to support the West on isolating Iran, providing Tehran with a reliable outlet for trade just at the time when the Europeans are out ahead of the U.S. on toughening sanctions.
Any president who considered the alliance with Israel or the need to stop Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons as among our nation’s top foreign policy priorities would regard Erdoğan as being, at best, a thorn in America’s side and, at worst, a genuine threat to our interests as well as our democratic values. But not Barack Obama.
Obama has been open about his contempt and dislike for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli is a prickly customer, and it may be that Erdoğan is easier to like on a personal basis. But anyone wondering why relations with the Jewish state have become so tenuous in the last three years need only understand this is a White House where an Islamic quasi-authoritarian who backs Hamas is the president’s pal and the prime minister of Israel is his bête noire.
Turkey may not be (as Rick Perry stated), run by a terrorist, but it is a nation that has been transformed under Erdoğan from a faithful ally to a source of genuine concern on both the home and foreign fronts. If that is Barack Obama’s idea of a true friend, then what does that say about his vision of America or the world?

3)This is one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read. They won't believe this happened, but it DID.
Harry & Bess
(This seems unreal.)
Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.
The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.
When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.
After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."
As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.
Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (cf. Illinois ).
Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!
I say dig him up and clone him!

4)A meeting was held of the ND Sheriff’s & Deputies Association in Bismarck, as part of this meeting the author had an opportunity to sit down with Law Enforcement from western ND to discuss what they are going through with oil impact. Here is a summary of points made:
1. Currently there are a total of 84 companies involved in the oil industry in western ND.
2. It takes between 2000 and 2200 semi loads of water per well. Currently there are 258 wells in progress with so many scheduled it is hard to determine the exact amount.
3. Traffic accidents, especially fatal traffic accidents are of very high concern. At one location on Highway 85 south of Williston, a traffic count was conducted in October of 2011. In one 24 hour period of time there where 29,000 vehicle through the intersection looked at with 60% of the traffic being semi’s.
4. Traffic is typically backed up for ½ to ¾ of a mile. One of the guys stated that one day last week he sat at an intersection on Highway 85 for about 30 minutes to get a big enough opening to cross over.
5. They have closed the weigh scale house because it was causing such a traffic jam that it was closing the roadway.
6. Rent in Williston currently is: $ 2000 for a one bedroom to $ 3400 for a three bedroom.
7. They have no more hook ups for campers any where in the area.
8. Williams County allows three campers per farmstead, the farmers almost all have three campers on their property and are charging $ 800 per camper per month for rent.
9. Wal Mart in Williston no longer stocks shelves, they bring out pallets of merchandise at night, and set it in the isles, people then take off the pallets what they want.
10. On 1-1-12, the Williston Wal Mart had 148 campers overnight in their parking lot.
11. Willams County wrecked a pickup and ended up bringing it to Bismarck for repairs because there no available body shops to do the work. Williams County has purchased a trailer and has started to bring vehicles to the Bismarck area for repairs. Willaims County took a pickup in for ball joints and front brakes, the shop charged them $ 2800 for the repairs.
12. Williston and Williams County now produces more taxable sales than any other area in ND.
13. The Williams County jail has increased booking by 150%. With a 100% increase in inmate population. Bonds of $ 5k to $ 10 K are typically paid with cash out of pocket. The Williams County Sheriff stated that a couple of week ago he received a $ 63,000 bond in cash carried into the jail in a plastic Wal Mart bag.
14. Williams County Sheriff’s Department has more than doubled in staff over the last two years, they are now buying trailer houses that come up for sale to rent to newly hired deputies.
15. Williams County new starting salary with the academy is $ 46,000 plus 100% of all benefits paid.
16. They are in a continuous hiring cycle, they have no set budget at this time, the Sheriff has been told to manage his office to the best of his abilities and keep the Commission updated, but do not worry about the budget.
17. The Williston McDonalds just announced that they will pay $ 15 an hour, a $ 500 immediate sign on bonus and a single medical plan paid for.
18. The restaurants are full and with limited staff to work in them they usually just have the drive through open. The restaurants that have inside seating are now an hour wait at all times.
19. Law Enforcement in the Williams County area cannot provide training to staff due to time constraints and no location to hold training.
20. The local Motel 6 in Williston now rents rooms fro $ 129.95 per night.
21. Law Enforcement no longer does any proactive work (school programs, community services, house checks) they do very little traffic related issues as well, they just to from call to call. Bars fights are one of the biggest issues.
22. Other law enforcement issues include the strip clubs. The local clubs have now started what is called “babe buses”. These buses go out to areas and pick up people and bus them back and forth to the strip clubs, the buses have poles on them as well as live entertainment.
23. Drug problems are immense, and they are seeing narcotics that they have never seen in the area before, like black tar heroin.
24. The civil process section of the Sheriff’s Department use to average 1800 paper a year, they are now doing 4500 processes a year.
25. Law Enforcement said that they make as many Driving under the influence arrest at 10 Am as they do at midnight.
26. Illegal aliens have become a huge problem, especially getting the proper authorities do remove them from the Country.
27. The current thought from the oil companies is that the area will continue to grow as it has over the past two years for the next five years and stay for ten years. At the end of the ten years they feel the communities will drop in population somewhat.
28. The current thought is that the oil companies will be drilling wells on every 1280 acres of leased land, this way they have tied up the land and do not have to release the property.
29. The Williston General Motors dealership has now become the number 1 seller of Corvettes in the upper Midwest.
30. The bigger oil companies are doing very well in hiring good people. They run checks and make sure the people they hire are drug free; it is the smaller companies that are having trouble-hiring people that will look the other way on hiring issues.
31. They said they do not know anybody anymore. The Sheriff of Williams County he use to be able to go to Wal Mart and not be walk very far without knowing somebody, now he does not know any of the people in there.
32. Many of the local citizens are taking retirement and moving out of the area.
33. They have an extreme amount of alcohol abuse going on. They have more calls than ever of drunk people trying to get into houses, to find out they are at the wrong place.
34. Minot population has grown by a projected 9000 people since the completion of the census. Minot is expecting to reach a population of 75,000 in the nest five years.
Trinity Hospital in Minot has just hired 115 nurses from the Philippians to work at the hospital, as they cannot get enough local nurses to apply.
