...decades, Statoil and Hydro relied on the plentiful reserves on the Norwegian continental shelf for almost all their output; last year, that area off the country's north and west shores accounted for more than four-fifths of the two firms' production. That bounty has made this nation of just 4.6 million people rich. Government taxes on the country's oil business - Norway is the world's fifth largest exporter by volume - have helped bloat Norway's national pension fund to around $350 billion. But those good times couldn't last forever. With fields beginning to dry up, oil production...
...couple of hours extracted gas reaches the Nyhamna plant, where it's processed and sent to the U.K. via the world's longest underwater pipeline (it's a trip that can take as little as two days). In full swing, the $9.2 billion project will pump up to a fifth of Britain's gas. More than that, though, StatoilHydro's technological muscle on show at Ormen Lange can give it an advantage when bidding for projects in places like the Arctic, says Kjetil Bakken, an analyst at investment bank Fondsfinans in Oslo...
...which case, no one should be surprised that Roberts has turned out to be an uncompromising conservative on a court split 4 to 4 on ideology, with a fifth conservative, Justice Anthony Kennedy, deciding case after case according to his own self-dramatizing muse.

...Quakers’ linchpin, fifth-year running back Joe Sandberg, returned to full-time action last week, and, not coincidentally, Al Bagnoli’s team tallied its first win of the season. That’s bad news for the Lions’ defense, which is allowing almost 260 rushing yards per outing. Norries Wilson has instilled a disciplined approach on the Upper West Side—Columbia is the least-penalized team in the league by a decent margin—but still lacks the roster to crack the Ivy’s top half...
...Census divides the Asian population into 11 major constituencies: Chinese, Filipino, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Pakistani, and Thai. Several groups dominate this pool: The Chinese alone comprise almost a quarter of the Asian demographic, and Filipinos make up just under a fifth. Asian Indians rank third at 16 percent, the Vietnamese and Koreans hold 11% each, and Japanese make up an additional 8 percent. In contrast, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Pakistani, and Thai Asians each comprise under 2 percent of the Asian population...
