Former premier urges slower pace to oilsands development
Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed calls for government to slow oilsands growth during a Calgary conference. He advocates one surface mining project at a time while allowing underground bitumen projects to proceed, arguing reduced costs benefit wider Alberta business. He notes oilsands hold about 173 billion barrels. IEA predicts growth to 0.7 million bpd by 2014 with total Canadian output near 3.8 million bpd.

Cats use high pitched purr to coax humans into feeding
British researchers led by Dr. Karen McComb of Sussex University report that cats mix a high frequency cry into their purring to trigger humans’ nurturing instincts, especially when hungry. The solicitation purr proved more urgent to listeners, while removing the embedded cry reduced urgency. One on one households matter more than large groups.
