Google Docs adds 450 fonts and 60 templates, sadly includes Comic Sans
Google Docs has lagged behind offline apps in the number of fonts and pre-made layouts to choose from, but that's just changed with a much larger catalog for both. More than 60 new templates and 450 fonts are now on tap to use in your presentations and reports. This comes on top of a handful of other recent improvements, such as Google Drive support, searching the Life Photo archive and boosts to accessibility and spreadsheet layouts. Apps Script gets both a Google Drive tie-in and new publishing control, too. Be forewarned: Comic Sans is one of the new font options, and it's clearly not an April Fools' gag.

USA: Anadarko Delivers Record Operating ... - LNG World News
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation announced first-quarter 2012 net income attributable to common stockholders of $2.156 billion, or $4.28 per share (diluted).
These results include certain items typically excluded by the investment community in published estimates. In total, these items increased net income by approximately $1.681 billion, or $3.36 per share (diluted) on an after-tax basis. Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter of 2012 was $1.891 billion, and discretionary cash flow totaled $1.922 billion.
First-Quarter 2012 Highlights
- Delivered record daily sales volumes of 704,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), including record liquids volumes of 301,000 barrels per day, comprised of approximately 75 percent crude oil
- Announced positive resolution of the Algeria tax dispute
- Achieved first oil at Caesar/Tonga and ramped production to more than 45,000 BOE/d
- Announced deep-water drilling success in Mozambique, Ghana and the Gulf of Mexico
- Completed successful drill-stem tests in Mozambique and Ghana
?Anadarko delivered record operating results, generated more than $130 million of free cash flow and successfully appraised discoveries in Mozambique, the Gulf of Mexico and Ghana during the first quarter of 2012,? said Anadarko Chairman and CEO Jim Hackett. ?The operating results were highlighted by record sales volumes, a year-over-year increase of 27,000 barrels per day from our liquids-rich U.S. onshore growth properties, and the startup of oil production at Caesar/Tonga in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, we resolved the Algeria tax dispute in a mutually beneficial manner that resulted in a $1.8 billion benefit in the first quarter, of which we expect to receive approximately $1 billion in cash during 2012 and the balance during the first half of 2013. The resolution also included amended contract terms, which are expected to result in approximately 1.6 million barrels of additional oil volumes during 2012. This is reflected in our increased sales-volumes guidance range of 258 to 262 million BOE, with no corresponding increase in capital.?
Operations Summary
Sales volumes in the first quarter rose to 64 million BOE, or a record 704,000 BOE/d, averaging approximately 221,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), 80,000 barrels of natural gas liquids per day and 2.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
The company delivered a record 301,000 barrels of liquids per day, benefitting from a 50-percent year-over-year increase in liquids sales volumes from the five major liquids-rich plays highlighted during Anadarko?s March 13 Investor Conference (the Wattenberg, Eagleford, Permian, East Texas HZ and Greater Natural Buttes plays). The Wattenberg field in Colorado accounted for a significant portion of this growth, by ramping up year-over-year liquids sales volumes by approximately 12,000 barrels per day.
As referenced in the highlights, Anadarko achieved first production at the Caesar/Tonga mega project in the Gulf of Mexico in early March, and is currently producing more than 45,000 BOE/d from three wells. The partnership plans to drill a fourth well in the third quarter of this year. At Independence Hub, the Cheyenne East well was brought on line.
Exploration Summary
Anadarko and its partners drilled six successful deep-water exploration/appraisal wells during the first quarter of 2012. In West Africa, the Ntomme-2A and Enyenra-4A appraisal wells offshore Ghana encountered significant oil pay, enhancing the value and expanding the areal extent of the TEN (Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme) complex. The company also successfully completed a drill-stem test at its Owo discovery well, which flowed at facility-constrained rates exceeding 20,000 BOPD from multiple zones. Offshore Sierra Leone, Anadarko and its partners encountered hydrocarbon pay at the Jupiter-1 prospect, and evaluation of the area is ongoing.
Offshore Mozambique in the Prosperidade complex, the company announced successful appraisal wells at Lagosta-2 and Lagosta-3 during the quarter. Anadarko and its partners also successfully conducted a drill-stem test at the Barquentine-2 well during the quarter and another at the Barquentine-1 well subsequent to quarter?s end. Both demonstrated outstanding reservoir characteristics, flowing at facility-constrained rates of approximately 100 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). The results of both drill-stem tests support well designs with potential flow rates of up to 200 MMcf/d. In April, following the successful Barquentine-4 appraisal well, Anadarko and its partners announced the completion of the appraisal drilling program in the complex. The company has now restarted its exploration program with the Golfinho prospect more than 15 miles northwest of Prosperidade.
In February, Anadarko announced that the Heidelberg-2 appraisal well in the Gulf of Mexico encountered more than 250 net feet of oil pay, and a recent down-dip sidetrack appraisal well at Heidelberg confirmed an extension of up to 1,500 acres in the field. Pre-FEED (front-end engineering and design) work has been initiated at Heidelberg to evaluate development solutions. The company also recently spud the Spartacus well that will target subsalt layers in the vicinity of Anadarko?s Lucius mega project, which is currently under development.
Earlier this month, Anadarko announced encouraging results from its exploration drilling program in the Utica Shale play of eastern Ohio. The company plans to continue evaluating the liquids-rich potential of its 390,000-acre (gross) position in the Utica throughout 2012.
Financial Summary
Anadarko ended the first quarter of 2012 with approximately $3.0 billion of cash on hand, and generated approximately $132 million of free cash flow(2) during the first quarter, which includes the impact of $98 million of capital expenditures incurred by Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES). Anadarko retired approximately $131 million of 6.125 percent senior notes due in 2012, and reduced its net-debt-to-capital ratio(2) to 38 percent, compared to 41 percent at year-end 2011. Also, Moody?s Investors Service returned Anadarko?s senior unsecured rating to investment grade at Baa3, with a stable outlook. In addition, the company recently closed the divestiture of its South Texas assets, as well as finalized a $400 million joint-venture agreement at its enhanced oil recovery development in the Salt Creek field in Wyoming.

Confused About A Personal Finance Situation-Get Help Here!
Managing your finances is essential to your success. You should invest your capital and protect your profits. If you are planning for growth it?s okay to put profits into capital, but you have to manage the profits wisely. Set a rule for what profits you keep and what profits go into capital.
Every time you get a check, save some money from it immediately. If your plan is to save the money you have leftover once the month is over, chances are, you won?t have any left. By budgeting a set amount for saving, you can see that you need to reduce other aspects of your budget.
It is never too late to get in good financial shape. If you do this, you will be prepared more than if you had never done it at all. Just starting is already a good step for personal finance.
Consider staying out of the rabbit hole that is credit card debt if you want to keep your personal finances in order. Before you decide to use a credit card, think very carefully. You must take the time it takes to pay it off into consideration. Unless it?s an essential item, don?t buy more on credit than you can afford to pay off at the end of the month.
Some forms of debt are infinitely better than others. Consider that your good debts are invested in something, much like real estate. For example, owning a home or commercial real estate is generally tax-deductible in terms of interest on the loans, even without taking future appreciation into consideration. Another debt that is good is a school loan. There are many loans out there for students that have lower interest rates that don?t have to be reimbursed until graduation.
Everyone should have a liquid savings account. Consider choosing a savings account which is high yield to get the most out of your money. Many of them are only on the internet, but the FDIC still insures them.
The Internet can be a great way to find discounts and coupons that are not otherwise available. If you use coupons you can gain some good habits for a good financial position in life.
If balancing a checkbook isn?t an option, then get a real-time overview of your finances with online banking. Many banking sites and programs allow users to quickly and easily track expenses, cash flow, and interest rates while managing budgets and savings accounts.
Put a little foreign intrigue into your investments. The easy way to add foreign investments is through various no-load mutual funds, which handles the research and diversification for you.
Keep a handle on personal financial issues by charting a specific course for the coming years. An established financial plan may motivate you to minimize your spending and to work harder.
By purchasing protein in increased quantities, you can save money and time. As long as you do not waste what you buy, you will always save money if you purchase in bulk. You can save time by spending one day cooking enough meals with this meat that will last you all week.
To keep your finances in good shape, start by implementing a written budget. To create a personal budget, try listing every expense at the start of each month. Make sure to include living expense, such as phones, food, heat, cars and rent. Be aware of every anticipated expense. In addition to writing down the type of expense, also make note of the amount that you pay. Make sure your expenses are less than your income.
Watch the Forex forums to identify new trends. Always know the market so you know when to buy and sell. You do not want to sell during an upswing, or, for that matter, a downswing. Have a very clear goal in mind if you are choosing to move your money before the trend has fully played out.

EPA official resigns over 'crucify' flap
Al Amerdariz, the top EPA official for Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, has drawn fire for referring to Roman?crucifixions?in saying he'd make examples of environmental offenders.
The Obama administration's top environmental official in the oil-rich South Central region has resigned after Republicans targeted him over remarks made two years ago when he used the word "crucify" to describe how he would go after companies violating environmental laws.
Skip to next paragraphIn a letter to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson sent Sunday, Al Armendariz says he regrets his words and stresses that they do not reflect his work as administrator of the five-state region including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
The environmental engineer apologized last week for his remarks. A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, told The Associated Press that Armendariz has since received death threats. His resignation was effective Monday. Sam Coleman, a career official who led the agency's response to Hurricane Katrina and served as Armendariz' deputy, took over as acting regional administrator.
QUIZ:?How much do you know about Earth Day?
"I have come to the conclusion that my continued service will distract you and the agency from its important work," Armendariz wrote in the letter, which was obtained by the AP.
Republicans in Congress had called for Armendariz' firing after Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe highlighted the May 2010 speech last week as proof of what he refers to as EPA's assault on energy, particularly the technique of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
President Barack Obama appointed Armendariz in November 2009 at the urging of Texas-based environmental groups.
The agency, perhaps more than any other, has found itself in the GOP's crosshairs. Republicans ? including presidential contender Mitt Romney, who has called for Jackson herself to be fired ? have blamed the agency for high gasoline prices and clamping down on American energy.
Armendariz, who was based in Texas, frequently found himself at odds with the state government and the oil and gas industry, which are often aligned.
The scientist and environmental activist had long been frustrated by the government's inability to clean up Texas' notoriously polluted air, and he had testified on behalf of activist groups about just how badly the EPA and state environmental agencies had botched things.
Ken Kramer, director of the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club, said "the only people who will celebrate his resignation are the polluters who continue to foul Texas air and the politicians who serve those special interests."
Several disputed contamination cases in Texas in which Armendariz was involved helped stoke environmental concerns over fracking, a technique in which oil and gas producers inject water, chemicals and sand underground at high pressures to fracture rock so gas can come out.
In one case, the EPA issued an emergency order in 2010 accusing Range Resources of contaminating an aquifer west of Fort Worth and giving it 48 hours to provide clean drinking water to residents. Armendariz said he went around the state because it wasn't responding quickly enough. The order later was withdrawn after a state court ruled evidence that fracking had caused the contamination had been falsified.
"He was flat wrong," wrote more than two dozen lawmakers in a letter to Jackson sent Friday, calling for Armendariz' firing.
Armendariz' speech was made in Dish, a small town northwest of Dallas, where testing has shown some groundwater contamination and elevated toxic air pollution after operators began fracking.
Referring to how the Romans once conquered villages in the Mediterranean, Armendariz said, "...they'd find the first five guys they saw and they'd crucify them."
"And so you make examples out of people who are in this case not complying with the law," he said. "Find people who are not complying with the law and you hit them as hard as you can and make examples of them."
