    Police: Zapped Driver Sheds Stun Gun Barbs, Flees - June 22, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    SALEM, N.H. (AP) An unruly driver zapped with a stun gun during a traffic stop yanked out the barbs, assaulted the officer and fled early Saturday, prompting a two-state pursuit that also led him to steal a police cruiser and threaten to shoot officers, authorities said.

    The fracas began shortly after midnight in Salem, in southern New Hampshire, when Officer Adam Pearson pulled over 52-year-old Robert Zygarowski, of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, for a traffic stop. Police say Zygarowski was uncooperative so Pearson shocked him with the stun gun.

    Police gave this account of what happened next:

    Zygarowski pulled out the barbs, assaulted Pearson, then jumped in his car and sped away, beginning a chase that ended when his tire blew in Lawrence, Massachusetts. When Pearson ordered Zygarowski and two others out of the car, Zygarowski charged at the officer and fled in the marked cruiser.

    Pearson detained the other two until officers from surrounding police departments arrived to give chase. They found the abandoned cruiser a short distance away with no damage and all of its contents still inside.

    A short time later, a man matching Zygarowski's description walked into a gas station in Methuen, Massachusetts, said he had guns and was going to shoot officers, prompting the clerk to call police, authorities said. As police using dogs converged on the area, Zygarowski was spotted walking into and through the kitchen of an IHOP restaurant.

    Police surrounded the area and found Zygarowski walking on a nearby trail, where another brief scuffled ensued.

    Zygarowski was finally arrested and charged with assault, resisting arrest and other offenses. The other two people in the car were questioned and released without charges. One told police he repeatedly asked to be let out of the car Zygarowski was driving, authorities said.

    Zygarowski refused the services of a bail commissioner and was taken to a county jail to await a Monday arraignment. He couldn't be reached for comment, and it wasn't immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.

    Pearson had minor injuries. He was treated at a hospital and released.

    Chevron Sheds Stake In Chad Oil Fields To Focus On Higher Growth Assets - June 22, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    California-basedChevron ( CVX ) recently announced the sale of its interest in some oil fields and pipelines in Chad to the country's governmentfor around $1.3 billion. This falls in line with its plan to divest some $10 billion worth of non-core assets by 2017. The company's strategy is to focus on the 3 key areas of upstream growth i.e. liquefied natural gas ( LNG ), deepwater, and shale/tight reserves development while moderating its annual capital expenditures.

    Chevronis the second largest energy company in the U.S. after Exxon Mobil. The company manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, for which it provides administrative, financial, management and technological support. This extends both to its U.S. subsidiaries and to its international subsidiaries, engaged in fully integrated petroleum, chemicals and mining operations, as well as power generation and energy services.It generates annual sales revenue of around $230 billion with a consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin of ~21.8%

    We recently revised our price estimate for Chevron to $128/share , which is almost 12x our 2014 full-year GAAP diluted EPS estimate for the company.

    See Our Complete Analysis For Chevron

    As a part of the recent deal, Chevron has sold its 25% non-operating interest in 7 crude oil producing fields in Chad's Doba basin along with around 21% interest in two affiliates that own an export pipeline, which transports crude oil to the coast of Cameroon. The company's average daily net crude oil production from these assets stood at 18,000 barrels last year, down from 22,000 barrels in 2012.

    It makes sense for Chevron to divest from its non-core assets with declining crude oil production, as it plans to ramp up its total hydrocarbon production going forward.The company expects to grow its average hydrocarbon production rate from around 2.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMBOED) in 2013 to 3.1 MMBOED in 2017. It expects to draw most of this production growth from the start-up and subsequent ramp-up of new liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) projects in Australia and Angola, and the development of deepwater reserves in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Brazil.

    Chevron is betting big on the global LNG market, spending billions of dollars in the construction of around 25 Million Ton Per Annum (MTPA) gross LNG capacity.The Gorgon LNG project, Chevron's biggest LNG bet, forms the centerpiece of its aggressive hydrocarbon production ramp-up plan, as it is expected to contribute over 0.2 MMBOED to Chevron's net daily production rate in the long run. (See more on Gorgon LNG:A Closer Look At Chevron's Biggest Bet In The Global LNG Market)

    However, soaring capital expenditures is the biggest valuation concern for Chevron right now. The company's net capital expenditures have soared from around $17 billion in 2009 to almost $37 billion last year. More than 92% of this $37 billion was spent on upstream projects. This has been primarily due to the ongoing development of LNG projects in Australia, where cost structures have significantly elevatedover the past few years due to rising labor costs. Gross cost estimate for the Gorgon LNG project has risen by more than 45% since 2009 to $54 billion today.

    This year, Chevron plans to slightly tone down capital investments as it plans to reverse the growing trend in favor of higher cash flows. According to the capital budget plan for this year, Chevron looks at spending around $2 billion less onleasing rigs,floating oil platforms, installingpipelines and repairingoil-refineriesthan it did last year. The recent asset sale in Chad would help Chevron reduce some pressure on its operating cash flows while continuing to progress the development of its long-term growth projects.

    Statcast sheds light on two stunning catches - June 22, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ByMatthew Leach/MLB.com|6/13/2014 2:00 P.M. ET

    We knew Yasiel Puig was fast. We knew Andrew McCutchen was smooth. Now we have an idea of just how fast and just how smooth.

    In the latest example of MLB Advanced Media's new Statcast player tracking metrics, the two star outfielders show their stuff on defense. We've got a look at each of them making a spectacular running catch at New York's Citi Field, and the comparative data gives a good idea of how each man achieves his defensive success.

    McCutchen is quick, smooth and polished. Puig is just flat-out fast. In each case, it works nicely.

    Twice in the span of a week in late May, Mets hitters were robbed of extra bases. On May 22, Wilmer Flores hit a deep drive to right-center. It first appeared to be Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp's ball, but Puig flew into the midst of the play and made the tumbling catch.

    "Oh man, I can't believe he caught it," Kemp said at the time, also adding a little more color to his language. "I was shocked."

    Five days later, Juan Lagares hit a liner, also to right-center, that Pirates superstar McCutchen seemed to swallow up from his place in center. There was never any doubt who this one belonged to, but it was no sure thing it would be caught until the ball rested in McCutchen's glove.

    "The ball's hit, and I just said, 'I'm going to go get it,'" McCutchen said. "Basically what I did, [I] tried to stay on top of it, see where it was due to come down and go get it. [It] was a good play, a long run, and I was able to cover a lot of ground to get to it."

    How each man made his highlight-reel play differed quite a bit. Puig's route was a little less direct, but his top-end speed was stunning. McCutchen didn't reach the same peak velocity, but his initial read on the ball proved to be perfect.

    Looking at the Puig play, one number stands out above any other: his maximum speed of 21.1 MPH. That's 9.43 meters per second, more than 10 yards per second. It's an absolutely blistering pace, one that makes up for a slightly slower jump and a less efficient route to the ball.

    Keep bikes safe alert after Rishton thefts

    4:42pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News By Michael Morrison, Hyndburn reporter

    RESIDENTS in Rishton are being warned to keep their bikes more secure after a recent spate of thefts.

    Thieves have smashed their way into sheds across the town, taking bikes worth up to 900.

    Police appealed for help in catching the culprits after 13 bikes were stolen in the last three months.

    PCSO Steve Charnley said: Theres been a large increase. Thieves are getting into peoples back gardens and breaking into sheds. It seems to be mainly bikes that are being taken Im only aware of one case where something else was taken, and that was golf clubs.

    Ive asked officers from other towns and they dont seem to be having much of a problem, so its obviously somebody in Rishton.

    It seems to happen overnight or very early on in the morning, and it does seem to be theyre targeting the high class estates.

    One resident, Zoe Allder, said two bikes were stolen from her shed last month.

    Speaking on Rishton First, a website set up for residents in the town, she said: We know who was responsible as my son saw them on the bikes on his way home from work. I informed police and gave them the names.

    Shell Sheds 19% Stake in Woodside for $5B – Analyst Blog - June 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Integrated energy behemoth, Royal Dutch Shell plc ( RDS.A ) announced plans to sell a major part of its stake in the Australian petroleum exploration and production company, Woodside Petroleum Limited. The 19% stake sale would garner around $5 billion for Shell and lower its holding in Woodside to under 5%.

    The 156.5 million shares sale would take place in two parts, involving selective buyback by Woodside and underwritten sell-down to equity market investors. An affiliate of Shell, Shell Energy Holding Australia Limited, has arranged two investment banks to sell around 9.5% or 78.27 million shares through an underwritten offering at A$41.35 per share, which is expected to close on Jun 18.

    Moreover, Woodside would buy back the remaining 78.27 million shares at a price of $34.24 per share - $26.29 per share as dividend component and $7.95 per share as capital component. The buyback is expected to complete in early August.

    Shell's management stated that the sale was a means to improve the company's capital efficiency and that it intends to drive growth in Australia through directly owned assets.

    The stake sale in Woodside is not a first for the company. Shell had sold around 10% stake in this Australian energy company in 2010 in a $3.3 billion deal, thereby reducing its holding to 24%. However, Shell remains focused on projects in Australia.

    Shell is one of the major integrated energy firms in the world with a large and diversified portfolio of development projects that offer attractive long-term opportunities. The company currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), implying that it is expected to perform in line with the broader US market in the next one to three months.

    Meanwhile, one can consider better-ranked players from the broader energy sector like TC PipeLines, LP ( TCP ), Ultra Petroleum Corp. ( UPL ) and Encana Corp. ( ECA ). All these stocks sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

    McKinnon joins Blues in celebrations - June 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The most inspirational moment of NSW's drought-breaking State of Origin victory came in the sheds post-match, when Alex McKinnon joined the Blues for their celebrations.

    Ending Queensland's eight-year reign was no small task, but the presence of McKinnon in the ANZ Stadium home dressing rooms, put everything in perspective.

    After the devastating spinal injury he suffered back in round three, McKinnon is continuing his recovery, fighting to be able to walk again.

    Before the tragic accident occurred, the tough and versatile Newcastle forward was someone in the minds of NSW selectors as a future Origin player.

    NSW had said they'd received a boost simply knowing McKinnon was attending the match, but as the emotion of their historic victory bubbled over in the sheds on Wednesday night, the 22-year-old was right alongside them in the inner sanctum to enjoy it all.

    It was a special moment for all parties.

    "It was great to see him here and he might be a bit of a lucky charm for us," said McKinnon's Knights teammate Beau Scott.

    "I caught up with him before the game and he was in the sheds after to enjoy the moment with us.

    "He didn't have anything to say - just to be here and have his presence and support was great.

    "Obviously to go through the journey he's gone through - he's a very exceptional young man to be able to keep the level head he has.
