  • Where BP had swapped stock, Exxon agrees to hand over to Rosneft unspecified assets elsewhere in the world, including some that the Texas-based company owns in the deepwater zones of the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in Texas.
  • nvestments envisioned under the agreement could reach $500 billion, including a direct investment of $200 billion to $300 billion. It was unclear what the timeline would be or whether this included the value of asset swaps.

    looks like an interesting paper:  This article proposes integrating self-assessment tools into the formative assessment process to improve the students' metacognitive skills. By integrating these steps into lawyering skills courses and clinics, professors are more likely to help students "learn like a lawyer." The articles discusses metacognition, effective formative assessment techniques, and practical ideas on how to improve the learning of law students.

shared by John Burk on 21 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • John Burk on 21 Sep 11
     
    This is a great video for demoing ideas about pressure and gas laws, an in particular the how boiling point increases with pressure.  Popcorn pops because the water inside flashes to steam and expands. If you put the system under sufficient pressure it won't do this … until the pressure is released, and all of the popcorn pops at the same time.
