1. This is also MY, Joyce Carol Oates', Tupac Shakur's birthday -- PRAISE JESUS!!!
But only TUPAC has promised to COME BACK!!!:
My old Stone Mountain neighbor (whom I never met -- but briefly did his mother), was CRAZIER THAN ME -- SOOO, I'm A-FEARED to research Joyce Carol Oates!!!
Joyce Carol Oates 2006
So I researched "Bloomsday", known to James Joyce fans WORLDWIDE as this same day -- June 16th.

2. Previously, I had only known the scholars' THEN (1985, last time I researched it), best theory on the birthdate -- which had been about the middle of October. THIS explains why I've claimed the October date elsewhere in this blog.
And it DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

NUMERO UNO:
Mexico Senate Approves Energy Bill Aimed at Production Boom
Save
Mexico’s Senate approved an energy bill that supporters say will make the country the world’s fifth-largest oil producer in about a decade, spurring growth in Latin America’s second-biggest economy.
Mexican senators passed the bill in general terms near midnight to permit foreign companies such asExxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and Chevron Corp. (CVX) to drill for oil for the first time since 1938. Senators today sent the proposal to the lower house for approval, rejecting most changes after more than 20 hours of debate, according to an e-mailed statement from the Senate.
Mexico is the world’s ninth-largest oil producer, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and possesses the biggest unexplored crude area after the Arctic Circle. Industry analysts and the bill’s authors say the overhaul will reverse eight years of oil output declines forPetroleos Mexicanos and increase production to as much as 4 million barrels per day by 2025. The plan would change the constitution to allow production sharing and licenses for outside companies that will also be able to log crude reserves for accounting purposes.
“With reform there will undoubtedly be a spurt of production growth as Mexico is a very rich hydrocarbon area both onshore and offshore,” Ed Morse, the New York-based head of commodities research at Citigroup Inc., said in a phone interview before the vote. “Realistically, it could double the amount of oil that Mexico produces.”
Falling Production
The bill drew its support from the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which President Enrique Pena Nieto returned to power one year ago; the National Action Party and the Green Party. Lawmakers from the Democratic Revolution Party and smaller allied parties opposed it, with some interrupting debate, first by draping a banner across the Senate podium and later by singing the national anthem.
Mexico’s oil production has fallen 25 percent to 2.5 million barrels per day from a high of 3.3 million in 2004, according to the state-owned oil company known as Pemex. Should Mexican output reach 4 million daily barrels by 2025, it could surpass Canada to become the world’s fifth-largest producer, given current production levels.
“It would put Mexico in the same level as the next tier of world producers,” Morse said. “It could return Mexico to one of the top five oil exporting countries in the world, which is around the same level where they used to be.”
Because the overhaul changes the constitution, it needs approval from at least two thirds of both the Senate and lower house. The floor debate in the lower house may begin on Dec. 14, according to Mexico City-based newspaper Reforma.
‘Truly Transformational’
Pena Nieto’s government forecasts the initiative will attract investment and spur production that will boost Mexico’s annual gross domestic product growth by 1 percentage point by 2018. The Finance Ministry projects the economy will expand 1.3 percent this year, down from 3.9 percent in each of the past two years and the least since the 2009 recession.
“The bill could attract sizable foreign investment from 2015 onwards and help develop the significant potential of the oil and gas sector in Mexico,” Alberto Ramos, chief Latin American economist for Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said in a Dec. 8 research report. “The potential impact on Mexico’s widely-perceived inefficient and under-invested energy sector could be truly transformational.”

NUMBER TWO:
Budget Deal Would Open
New Areas Of The Gulf Of
Mexico For Drilling
Posted: 12/11/2013 6:14 pm EST | Updated: 12/12/2013 1:32 am EST
WASHINGTON -– The bipartisan budget deal unveiled Tuesday night includes a provision that would open up new parts of the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas drilling.
The proposal includes passage of the U.S.-Mexico Transboundary Hydrocarbon Agreement, which would allow development of oil and gas reserves that cross the international maritime boundary in the Gulf of Mexico. There has been a moratorium in place on drilling in the Western Gap portion of the Gulf since 2000, but it is set to expire at the end of 2013. The agreement included in the budget deal sets standards for both countries to undertake development in this area, and has already won approval from both the Obama administration and Mexico.
Environmental groups aren't fans of the agreement. "This is a continuation of the age-old U.S. approach to energy policy, which is: Give the oil and gas industry what they want," said Jackie Savitz, vice president for North American Oceans at Oceana. "If we continue to expand our production of oil into places that are hard to reach (deepwater), and hard to negotiate (the US-Mexico Boundary), we guarantee future generations the right to experience the worst impacts of climate change."
But members of Congress who support it say that it's better than not having any rules in place at all -- which is what would happen if Jan. 1 rolls around without an agreement in place. "It is good for American energy security, good for jobs and good for the environment to have rules govern energy development in the Gulf of Mexico," Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said in a statement. “This agreement will help extend the U.S. energy revolution throughout North America, making the region more competitive and less reliant on politically tumultuous states for energy."
Athan Manuel, the director of lands protection for the Sierra Club, said the deal is a mixed bag. "The good news is this budget deal reverses some of the harmful cuts of the sequester," he said. "That said, the deal is far from perfect, as it permits more drilling that threatens our coasts and our oceans, and feeds our reliance on dirty fossil fuels."
He said that "the only silver lining to that provision" is that the version included in the deal keeps the financial reporting standards of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that the energy industry had wanted waived. The House version of the agreement included the waiver.

Betty and Thomas S. Kenan III with sycophant (on left).
>>> THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION (for anyone with HALF AS GOOD CONTACTS as I have) :
The US Oil Agreement, the MOST IMPORTANT PART of the Budget Agreement, gives the Kenan Family of North Carolina permission to drill in NEW AREAS of the Golfo de Mexico, as well as approving other provisions to best maximize agreements made to develop oil for Mexico.
A year ago, Presidente Pena Nieto DECLINED Exxon-Mobil's offer to develop Mexico's RICH off-shore oil reserves because the Kenans THEN insisted on OWNERSHIP of some of the reserves they found/developed, as CONTRARY to Mexico's Interests. At that TIME, I sent Sr. Pena Nieto a message via Facebook (documented on blog), AGREEING with him -- but suggesting CHEVRON as the more REASONABLE and GREEN(-er) and NEVER-HOMOPHOBIC Kenan Alternative.
Vincente Fox
This plan seems a fair compromise in that it gets 85% approval of PAN, the Party of recent Presidentes Vincente Fox (formerly employed by the Kenans as a Coca-Cola Executive, NOW, a legal resident of Oregon, where he has applied to grow MARIJUANA legally), and Felipe Calderone, who so mesmerized the US Congress and Nation when he orated in the Capitol a few years ago.
No one had heard TRUTH spoken there for YEARS -- and he spoke it so BEAUTIFULLY, they missed his softly-pointy POINTS in the RAPTURE OF SUCH LANUAGE!!!
But with the KENANS chomping at the BIT to get more drilling going in the Gulf -- and Mexico finding this apparent compromise in terms more to her liking, ALL THIS IS LIKELY TO SAIL THROUGH in BOTH countries.
And THIS is how those GRINCHY KENANS got OUT of another Republican SHUTDOWN over budgets (or healthcare reform), they packaged it INTERNATIONALLY with the rights to drill for Mexico (who ALSO has punked the USA for YEARS by NEVER ALLOWING a refinery in Mexico, but shipping MOST Mexican oil to the USA for refining, then back, giving all that POLLUTION to the GREEDY AMERICANS who don't give a SHIT for GOD'S GREEN EARTH -- HA!!!
>>> AND DON'T FORGET: The KENANS make TONS OF MONEY partnered with their Episcopalian Church with the NSA/CIA/Cheney/Bush/Clinton/Obama WORLDWIDE DRUG MAFIA.
