Dr. AbolGhasem Ghaffari worked with Albert Einstein on the Unified Field Theory of Gravitation and

07 November 2007 London --- “The huge energy challenges facing China and India are global energy challenges and call for a global response. The World Energy Outlook 2007 charts a course to a more secure, competitive, lower-carbon energy system – a course that must involve the world’s two emerging giants”, said Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) today in London at the launch of the latest edition of the Outlook. The annual flagship publication of the IEA this year focuses on energy developments in China and India and their implications for the world.
“WEO-2007 demonstrates more clearly than ever that, if governments don’t change their policies, oil and gas imports, coal use and greenhouse-gas emissions are set to grow inexorably through to 2030 – even faster, in fact, than in last year’s Outlook. These trends would threaten energy security and accelerate climate change. But the Outlook also shows how new policies can pave the way to an alternative energy future”, Mr. Tanaka stressed.
Energy developments in China and India are transforming the global energy system as a result of their sheer size and their growing importance in international energy markets. “Rapid economic development will undoubtedly continue to drive up energy demand in China and India, and will contribute to a real improvement in the quality of life for more than two billion people. This is a legitimate aspiration that needs to be accommodated and supported by the rest of the world”, said Mr. Tanaka. “Indeed, most countries stand to benefit economically from China’s and India’s economic development through international trade.”
But the consequences of unfettered growth in global energy demand are alarming for all countries. If governments around the world stick with existing policies – the underlying premise of the WEO Reference Scenario – the world’s energy needs would be well over 50% higher in 2030 than today. China and India together account for 45% of the increase in global primary energy demand in this scenario. Both countries’ energy use is set to more than double between 2005 and 2030. Worldwide, fossil fuels – oil, gas and coal – continue to dominate the fuel mix. Among them, coal is set to grow most rapidly, driven largely by power-sector demand in China and India. These trends lead to continued growth in global energy-related emissions of carbon-dioxide (CO2), from 27 Gt in 2005 to 42 Gt in 2030 – a rise of 57%. China is expected to overtake the United States to become the world’s biggest emitter in 2007, while India becomes the third-biggest emitter by around 2015. China’s per-capita emissions almost reach those of OECD Europe by 2030.
Consuming countries will increasingly rely on imports of oil and gas – much of them from the Middle East and Russia. In the Reference Scenario, net oil imports in China and India combined jump from 5.4 mb/d in 2006 to 19.1 mb/d in 2030 – this is more than the combined imports of the United States and Japan today. World oil output is expected to become more concentrated in a few Middle Eastern countries – if necessary investment is forthcoming. Although production capacity at new fields is expected to increase over the next five years, it is very uncertain whether it will be sufficient to compensate for the decline in output at existing fields and meet the projected increase in demand. A supply-side crunch in the period to 2015, involving an abrupt escalation in oil prices, cannot be ruled out.
Government action can alter appreciably these trends. If governments around the world implement policies they are considering today, as assumed in an Alternative Policy Scenario, global energy-related CO2 emissions would level off in the 2020s and reach 34 Gt in 2030 - almost a fifth less than in the Reference Scenario. Global oil demand would be 14 mb/d lower – a saving equal to the entire current output of the United States, Canada and Mexico combined. Measures to improve energy efficiency are the cheapest and fastest way to curb demand and emissions growth in the near term. The savings are particularly large in China and India. For example, tougher efficiency standards for air conditioners and refrigerators alone would, by 2020, save the amount of power produced by the Three Gorges dam. Emissions of local pollutants in both countries, including sulphur-dioxide and nitrous oxides, would also be reduced sharply.
But even in the Alternative Policy Scenario, global CO2 emissions are still one-quarter above current levels in 2030. In a “450 Stabilisation Case”, which describes a notional pathway to long-term stabilisation of the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at around 450 parts per million, global emissions peak in 2012 and then fall sharply below 2005 levels by 2030. Emissions savings come from improved efficiency in industry, buildings and transport, switching to nuclear power and renewables, and the widespread deployment of CO2 capture and storage (CCS). Exceptionally quick and vigorous policy action by all countries, and unprecedented technological advances, entailing substantial costs, would be needed to make this case a reality.
Economic growth in China and India could turn out to be significantly faster than assumed in the Reference and Alternative Policy Scenarios, resulting in more rapid growth in energy demand, oil and gas imports and CO2 emissions. In a High Growth Scenario, which assumes that China’s and India’s economies grow on average 1.5 percentage points per year faster than in the Reference Scenario, energy demand is 21% higher in 2030 in China and India combined. Globally, energy demand rises by 6% and CO2 emissions by 7%. “In this case, it would be all the more urgent for governments around the world to implement policies to curb the growth in fossil-energy demand and related emissions”, Mr. Tanaka said.
“The emergence of new major players in global energy markets means that all countries must take vigorous, immediate and collective action to curb runaway energy demand”, said Mr. Tanaka. “The next ten years will be crucial for all countries, including China and India, because of the rapid expansion of energy-supply infrastructure. We need to act now to bring about a radical shift in investment in favour of cleaner, more efficient and more secure energy technologies.”
IEA countries have long recognised the advantages of co-operation with China and India, reflected in a steady broadening of the range of collaborative activities through the IEA. “This relationship symbolises the interdependence of the global energy community. One of my priorities as the new IEA Executive Director is to step up our co-operation with both countries. In good time this could hopefully pave the way, with the support of all the governments concerned, to an ultimate objective of their future membership of the Agency.”

I can still remember like it was yesterday,
When your smile could take my tears away.

How we would talk, laugh, and play...
But now, that seems so far away.

Why did you have to go, Dad?
It still makes me so very sad.

To think, the last time I knew you
Was the day - I last saw you.

The need to hear your voice or feel your touch,
Still to this day - hurts so much.

Many years have passed, and I still grieve;
I wonder if this pain will ever leave.

And the tears - well, they never seem to go away,
Regardless of how much I smile or pray.

But for you, Dad - I can always manage a smile,
And reflect on our short lived past for awhile.

Besides the pictures I have kept,
Our memories are all that I have left.

But, Dad, because of you and all you were,
I have learned to accept and endure.

I've learned not to dwell on the sad things in the past,
But to cherish our wonderful moments and make them last.

Our moments together...may have been few,
But many more, than others ever knew.

Dad...find comfort in knowing
That I am still growing...

I have found great strength and support from others,
I consider them all my sisters and brothers.

We became united together by the Wall,
As you all were...by answering the call.

And because you all were our fathers,
We are now the sons and daughters.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you.

Republic of Vietnam, 31 October 1967

PITTS, RILEY L. *

     Rank and organization: Captain, U.S. Army, Company C, 2d Battalion, 27th Infantry, 25th
     Infantry Division

     Place and date: Ap Dong, Republic of Vietnam, 31 October 1967

     Entered service at: Wichita, Kansas

     Born: 15 October 1937, Failis, Oklahoma

     Citation:

     Distinguishing himself by exceptional heroism while serving as company commander during an airmobile assault. Immediately after his company landed in the area, several Viet Cong opened fire with automatic weapons. Despite the enemy fire, Capt. Pitts forcefully led an assault which overran the enemy positions. Shortly thereafter, Capt. Pitts was ordered to move his unit to the north to reinforce another company heavily engaged against a strong enemy force. As Capt. Pitts' company moved forward to engage the enemy, intense fire was received from 3 directions, including fire from 4 enemy bunkers, 2 of which were within 15 meters of Capt. Pitts' position. The severity of the incoming fire prevented Capt. Pitts from maneuvering his company. His rifle fire proving ineffective against the enemy due to the dense jungle foliage, he picked up an M-79 grenade launcher and began pinpointing the targets. Seizing a Chinese Communist grenade which had been taken from a captured Viet Cong's web gear, Capt. Pitts lobbed the grenade at a bunker to his front, but it hit the dense jungle foliage and rebounded. Without hesitation, Capt. Pitts threw himself on top of the grenade which, fortunately, failed to explode. Capt. Pitts then directed the repositioning of the company to permit friendly artillery to be fired. Upon completion of the artillery fire mission, Capt. Pitts again led his men toward the enemy positions, personally killing at least 1 more Viet Cong. The jungle growth still prevented effective fire to be placed on the enemy bunkers. Capt. Pitts, displaying complete    disregard for his life and personal safety, quickly moved to a position which permitted him to place effective fire on the enemy. He maintained a continuous fire, pinpointing the enemy's fortified positions, while at the same time directing and urging his men forward, until he was mortally wounded. Capt. Pitts' conspicuous gallantry, extraordinary heroism, and intrepidity at the cost of his life, above and beyond the call of duty, are in the highest traditions of the U.S. Army and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the Armed Forces of his country.

The Boeing 747, 767, 777 and 787 airplanes

Boeing 747, 767, 777 And 787 Manufacturing Site

Everett, Washington

The Boeing 747, 767, 777 and 787 airplanes are manufactured in Everett, Wash., which is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Seattle, near Snohomish County's Paine Field. Paine Field is a regional airport with a 9,000-foot (2,743-meter) runway.

Boeing Everett Facilities Photo (Neg#: K63553-01) As Boeing's largest site, Everett also is home to hundreds of employees who work in the Global Partners organization, which is responsible for contracting with and managing Commercial Airplanes external suppliers, as well as several internal airplane components suppliers that build airplane interiors, electrical systems and commercial electronics.

The site's main assembly building, which the Guinness Book of World Records acknowledges as the largest building in the world by volume, has grown over the years to enclose 472 million cubic feet of space (13.3 million cubic meters). Its footprint covers 98.3 acres (39.9 hectares). The original factory was completed in 1968. From its original size, it was expanded by more than 45 percent in 1980 to house the 767 assembly line, and another 50-percent enlargement was added in 1993 for 777 assembly. The site, too, has grown to 1,025 acres (415 hectares), including 215 acres (86 hectares) of paved yards and parking, and 282 acres (113 hectares) of building area.

Each day, parts and subassemblies come to the plant from all over the globe. More than a thousand suppliers ship components by truck, rail, air and ship from throughout the world and all 50 states. The largest parts are received at the Port of Everett, Wash., and then are loaded onto railcars that climb a 5.6 percent grade - the steepest active standard gauge in the United States. Up to 15 railcars a day deliver parts to the Everett site.

Boeing 747 production line photo Although rail cars may be rolled right into the factory for unloading, Boeing added a 33,000-square-foot (3,066-square-meter) rail terminal building in 1992 to unload parts containers arriving by train. An adjoining rail yard, containing approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) of track, has a railroad turntable originally built in 1899 by the Great Northern Railroad, now Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad.

Inside the factory, overhead bridge cranes cruise 90 feet (27 meters) above the floor on 31 miles (50 kilometers) of crane rail network, supported by the roof trusses of the factory building. Operators in the cranes unload subassemblies from shipping fixtures and move airplane parts from one airplane assembly position to another. Along with a fleet of more than 100 forklifts, 18 cranes - each capable of lifting 34 tons - carry 747 and 767 parts through the factory. Eight additional 40-ton cranes are used for 777 production.

With six million parts in the 747 and more than three million each on the 767 and the 777, the systems used to order, track and distribute the correct part to the correct assembly point at the right time is no less complex. Developing the plans and follow-through to successfully assemble all of those parts is one of the things in which Boeing employees take great pride.

Boeing Everett Facilities Photo On the current schedule, the first parts to go into the assembly process are the wing spars - internal beams that run the length of the wing. Wing spars and skins, machined by Boeing at the Frederickson site in Puyallup, Wash., arrive on a unique truck trailer. It is so long that its rear wheels must be steered by a driver sitting in a cab beneath the back of the trailer. About four-and-a-half months later, the wing spar will be in a finished airplane.

The Everett factory accommodates production lines for the 747, 767, 777 and 787 airplanes. Production rates vary with market activity, but have been as high as seven per month for the 747 and 777, and five per month for the 767.

As the production line moves, the airframe gets closer to the doors through which the finished jetliner will roll out. Four of the six hangar doors are 81 feet high (25 meters) and 300 feet wide (91 meters) and two are 81 feet high (25 meters) and 350 feet wide (107 meters).

In addition to the factory and warehouses, the site contains nine office buildings and one 500,000-square-foot (46,451 square meters) building that supplies interior paneling and stowage bins for all Boeing jetliners. Finished airplanes may receive the distinctive markings of the purchasing airline in any of the three paint hangars.

Approximately 25,000 people on three shifts work at the Everett site.

The Boeing Everett plant is so large that it requires its own fire department, security force, fully equipped medical clinic, electrical substations and water-treatment plant. Storm water is controlled through a system of engineered wetlands and holding ponds, the largest of which can hold 20 million gallons (75 million liters), enough water to float an ocean-going ship. The aircraft fueling area has room for five airplanes, and pre-flight areas accommodate 26 finished jetliners.

Boeing Everett Facilities Photo (Neg#: K63553-05) Because of its size and magnitude, the Everett plant represents Boeing to the world. Recent dignitaries have included U.S. President Bill Clinton; U.S. Vice President Al Gore; former Texas Governor and now U.S. President George W. Bush; Russian President Boris Yeltsin; Chinese President Jiang Zemin; Prime Minister Paul Keating of Australia; Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad of Malaysia; President Ion Iliescu of Romania; Prince Philippe of Spain; President Meri of Estonia; King Hussein of Jordan; His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, The Duke of York; President of Slovakia, Mr. Michal Kovac; President Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia; and U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Dennis Hastert.

The Boeing Everett tour, which is operated through the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour, is located just north of the Boeing Everett site in Mukilteo, Wash. The center is open year-round to the public and hosts more than 130,000 people annually.

"Peak Oil,"

"It's no secret anymore that for every nine barrels of oil we consume, we are only discovering one."
-The BP Statistical Review of World Energy

The world is addicted to oil. In just 8 years, it's projected the world will be consuming nearly 50,000 gallons of oil every second.

By that time, the world won't be able to meet the projected demand... for one simple reason: We're using up oil at breakneck speed

And it's also no secret that official oil reserve numbers furnished by OPEC member governments have been fudged for years. The International Energy Agency (IEA) even admitted to knowing about some of OPEC's wizards cooking their books. The impact on crude oil prices worldwide is staggering

Still, OPEC claims they can increase their production to 20 million barrels of crude oil per day. But how can they increase their output when it's been found that OPEC Middle East oil nations, even Saudi Arabia, are pumping oil from known "post-production" fields? There's one answer...

It's called "Peak Oil," and it's happening on a global scale... and while most of the world idly stand by, savvy investors are beginning to catch on to the future of the oil industry

Yahoo mail website has recently removed "Iran" from the list of world countries in its signup page

Yahoo mail

We, the nation of Iran, assume it contrary to professional ethics to deny a nation and violate fundamental human rights for any reason, including the so-called political tensions between states and governments

We, therefore, ask Yahoo! to add Iran to the mentioned list again and officially provide a plausible explanation for offending thousands of Persian Yahoo! users by removing their country name.

Iran is a country with 7000 years of glorious, rich heritage and extensive history, a land in which lots of great artists, scientists and distinguished individuals have been flourished throughout the ages

You can easily find the great Iran (Ancient Persia) on the world map, shaped like a sweet cat and shining as an eternal star in the sky of peace and friendship among nations

Commentary of the Week for November 2

Credit Suisse upgraded and in their note stated that the company is trading well below replacement cost. This company is way too cheap. If/when this subprime credit fear subsides, the private equity $ will be all over these guys. I had told this to my wife few times but she keep insisting to invest in oil stocks from Canada , for same personal reasons I never trust Canadian companies , maybe its due to the french in them , I don’t realy know 7 don’t really care.Pvt equity took a big stake in AVR at $12, 18 months before the IPO. And that was when capacity was 150M gallons....the company now is fully funded for 433M by end of 08!!! At full replacement cost CSFB has the stock worth $16.25. And this attaches zero value to the distribution/marketing alliance biz. I am sure Ron Miller is fielding plenty of calls from interested parties. One thing about the Farsi vices that I hear constantly reveals that something more is cooking for this company , however I tried to discuss the fact with Sharokh and Taghi but since I have lost my credibility due to all those bad stock tips , NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN

When we see $4+/gal and $100+/b

As oil touched $96.10, I cannot wait until we break through the psychological $100 a barrel threshold, which could happen on Monday depending on the outcome of a meeting in Istanbul over the weekend I have a good friend from school in Teheran were I used to go and now lives in istanbul running a little children clothes ( pooshakeh bacheh Gasoline closed at $2.43 today. When we see $4+/gal and $100+/b oil every politician in Washington will be clamoring for sound bites on their undying love for ethanol, biofuels, etc. Call your congressman, call your Governor.....we need higher RFS mandates at the federal level and higher blend mandates at the state level (congrats Minnesota, you lead the pack

Exxon is one of the 2 biggest oil companies on the planet

They reported their Q this morning and surprised the street with a 2% decline in production in an environment of record high prices. This seems to suggest more evidence of the peak oil theory. Oil companies have already found and extracted all the "easy to get" oil over the past 100 years. We had better get our a$$ in gear to find and use more alternatives!! Corn ethanol, cellulostic, biodiesel, batteries....we will need it all. If you own AVR from $10 looking to sell it at $11 you are missing the big picture....be an investor, not a renter

I like how CHINA is buying ethanol companies around the world. Looks like CHINA is hungry for energy and can;t get enough locally

CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA

No one on the planet is more desparate for energy than China. To satiate their enormous growth they need coal, uranium, oil, ethanol.....anything that can power their factories and run their rapidly rising transportation needs. We are in the middle of an explosive bull market for commodities (of which ethanol is one) and China (and to a lesser extent India) is at the center of this explosion. Why do you think the Chinese tried to buy Unocal

Gharbzadeghi

KFC

Gharbzadeghi is an Iranian word that translates literally as "Weststruckness." More accurately, it translates as "Westamination" (West + Contamination) and "Westoxication" (West + Intoxication). Garbzadeghi refers to the impact Western culture has had on the Middle East, an impact that is both contamination (to make unfit for use by the introduction of unwholesome or undesirable elements) and intoxication (to excite to the point where physical and mental control is markedly diminished). Coined by the Iranian writer Ahmad Fardid, but popularized by Jalal al-e Ahmad in his work Gharbzadeghi, Gharbzadeghi is the internal and external struggle between the cultures and ideas of the Middle East and the West, between the traditional and the modern, between Islam (Dar al-Islam, the house of submission) and non-Islam (Dar al-Harb, the house of war), and between the Middle East and itself

American soldiers voluntarily have chosen to fight

Yang , my friend I try to explain the mentality of people & how they look at American soldiers in over seas , they all know over there that American soldiers voluntarily have chosen to fight and many of them for just the benefits , some people in overseas explain that as a mercenaries that gest paid to kill , many people over seas say that the ones that join the military in America are the ones that have not been able to do good in life , go to school or been unfortunate in life , that baster
Kerry made American soldiers look very stupid by saying study hard or end up in Iraq . many people over there are saying that the judges are telling the criminals with bad records to “ GO TO JAIL OR JOIN THE MILITARY “ but I tell you what if it was not because of this administration and this great president who I voted for , Saddam would still be in power , I used to be worried days and nights about the friends and family members in Iran but its all finished , I thank God every day that he brought George to earth so that he could finish Saddam because no one, I mean no one else could have ever done this, United sates attacked Iraq on march 21 , which is the first day of new year for Iranians , a nice present for that entire nation since Saddam killed over a million Iranians but don’t forget that Saddam was never a treat to America

weekly coment from Massoud

I wonder why Iran is not considering to use the ethanol instead of expensive imported gas.

Iran is 1675000 Square Kilometer and with some of best agricultural lands to plant the corn however the country is run by people that have NO long term plans but to fill their greedy pockets with all sort of corruptions , I am not naming a specific Mullah or a government agency

or criticize the characters' that run the country but rather talk in general that they could have simply use natural gas to run the city busses which make the most of pollution in Tehran or other major cities , however Ethanol has its own issues when it come top transportation of it after its being processed in the plants and in times like this that the Oil is close to 100 dollars its very well worth the investment in alternative energy and use the money for spending in imported gasoline or other thing around the country but some how it looks like no one cares about the people in Tehran or other cities , not long ago when I was in Tehran the CAB DRIVER AFTER ME TELLING HIM TO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE HIGH INFLATIONS IN IRAN AND THE GOOD NEWS FOR INCREASING THE PRICE OF OIL WHICH IS 95 PERCENT OF REVENUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT TOLD ME SIR , I HOPE OIL GOES TO ONE DOLLAR A BARREL THAT WAY THESE PEOPLE COULD POCKET LESS & SIMPLY STEAL LESS MONEY SINCE THE AVERAGE PEOPLE WOULD NEVER SEE A DIME OF OIL EXPORT ,EXCEPT SOME OUTLAW GROUPS IN MIDDLE EAST THAT NEVER CARED ABOUT IRAN AND DURING THE 8 YEAR IRAN , IRAQ WAR WERE SIDING WITH SADAM HUSAIN & KILLING THE BRAVE YOUNG SOLDIERS TH WERE PROTECTING THE BORDERS FROM THE SAVAGE ARABS WELL I THINK , HE HAD A GOOD POINT RIGHT THERE & JUST ABOUT FEW NIGHTS AGO I HAD THE SAME DISCUSSION WITH A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE ATTA WHO HAS BEEN SICK AND HAVE LOST HIS BOTH LEGS

SPENDING FEW NIGHT IN HOSPITAL BUT HOPEFULLY WILL GET WELL SOON AND START HIS NEW LIFE WITH AN ARTIFICIAL LEGS THAT SOMETIMES WORK BETTER THAN REAL LEGS DUE TO THE NATURE OF HIGH TECH BUT EITHER WAY I WISH HIM THE BEST IN THE WORLD SINCE HE HAS ALWAYS ENJOYED LIFE TO THE MOST AND WOULD DO THE SAME IN COMING YEARS BUT LETS GO BACK TO TALK ABOUT ETHANOL AND THE WEAKNESSES OF IT .

FIRST : The transportation expense is higher getting the ethanol to the consumer.
That expense eats into profits.
Also considering that ethanol gives less miles per gallon, it would naturally be priced cheaper than gasoline.
Look where peix is producing the ethanol and where it is being used.
Just think about when you get a great deal on something on EBay and then you have to pay shipping and handling from some faraway place.
Ethanol is more expensive to transport than you probably imagined. In addition to that fact is the fact that the infrastructure to transport ethanol is not fully built out yet either. But we can always plant the corn around Karaj or even ghazvin and then sending it by train to Tehran or use it in the same cities that the corn is planted but in USa since its so spread up its not an easy task. there is a bottleneck in the supply chain that hurts producers and consumers. Eventually these problems will be worked out if the ethanol craze is sustainable. With oil prices over 90/barrel, the demand for alternatives is definitely there, but there will be birthing pains in the ethanol industry. This may not be the best time to invest, but we could be seeing a bottom in the near future.
