Bruno Mars Climbs To Top Of The Album Chart For The Very First ...

Locked Out Of Album-Chart-Topping Heaven No Longer

Between his own songs ?Just The Way You Are,? ?Grenade? and???Locked Out of Heaven,? plus his feature on B.o.B?s 2010 hit ?Nothin? On You,? Bruno Mars has topped the Billboard Hot 100 four times. Still, the Grammy-winning crooner had yet to land at #1 on the main album chart until this week. Mars? sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox jumps up one rung on the Billboard 200 thanks in part to an Amazon MP3 Store sale last week, which had it reduced in price to $1.99 for a day, and then $3.99 after that. Unorthodox Jukebox therefore sold a total of 95,000 copies in the most recent seven-day sales period.

Billboard notes that another album benefiting from the same Amazon sale is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis? The Heist, which jumps up 12 positions to #4. Add to that the fact that the duo performed on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, and their debut album wound up moving 42,000 copies. No more shopping at the thrift shop, fellas!

Well, for the time being, at least?

US oil production: Don't believe the hype

Oil production is headed back up, but it will peak below the 1970 high in the US or even the secondary high notched in 1985, federal estimates say. It can's solve worldwide oil depletion.

By Kurt Cobb,?Guest blogger / March 3, 2013

US oil production is headed back up after a long decline, but it's not enough to push the US back to its peak level in 1970.

Energy Information Administration

The way the oil industry is touting gains in U.S. crude oil? production, you would think that production was soaring to new all-time highs. But the facts say otherwise. Above is a monthly production history through December 2012.

Production remains well below the peak achieved in 1970 and below a secondary peak?a lower high, if you will?which resulted from the ramp up of production in Alaska. But, as the graph shows, after that it was relentlessly downhill until just recently.

It is true that a new form of hydraulic fracturing?high-volume slick-water hydraulic fracturing?has made available sources of oil not previously accessible. But is it also true that the industry?s hyperbole doesn?t square with the evidence. The U.S. Energy Information Administration?s (EIA) latest estimate of technically recoverable oil from so-called tight oil deposits?the ones suitable for hydraulic fracturing?is 33 billion barrels (see below). It sounds like a lot. But, in fact, it would only supply the United States for about 6? years. Not bad; but not a world-changing number, especially when you consider that all oil goes onto the worldwide market where that amount would last a little over a year.

But there is another column in the EIA chart above that is worth focusing on, the one labeled ?% of Area Untested.? (Click on graphic above left.) We actually know every little about the potential for the country?s tight oil (often mistakenly referred to as shale oil). Many areas haven?t been drilled at all and in others drilling has only just begun. There is reason to believe that all may not go as planned since in areas already drilled, drillers have focused on a few sweet spots that have proven profitable. That just makes sense. But, it suggests that they must now venture beyond those sweet spots to find additional supplies from deposits that will be more stubborn and thus more expensive and difficult to exploit. No one is certain how drillers will fare. But logic suggests that production growth will slow and then stop at some point?and a decline will begin in earnest.

PFT: Moss' plans unclear? |? Niners not interested

AP

Bills WR Stevie Johnson already is recruiting players like 49ers S Dashon Goldson.? (It?s not tampering unless the team puts the player up to it.)

The Jets have signed three players with Arena League experience.? (Hey, you never know where you?re going to find your next personal punt protector.)

To tag or not to tag, that is the question for the Patriots, as debated by Mike Reiss and Field Yates of ESPNBoston.com.

The Dolphins continue to conduct junior training camps at local elementary schools.? (Sometimes, the fruit just hangs too low.)

The Ravens have a tough decision to make with FB Vonta Leach, who participated in only 42 percent of the snaps in 2012.

Hawaii CB Mike Edwards, a Cleveland native, wants to play for the Browns.

Players who get tagged by the Bengals typically stay only one more year.

Former Steelers RB Carey Davis is pursuing an acting career.

Titans LB Will Witherspoon hopes to play four more years, even though he lost his starting job in 2012.

Colts owner Jim Irsay says that, if the Colts have earned the third overall pick or lower in 2012, they would have kept QB Peyton Manning.

Jaguars president Mark Lamping talks about the effort to build enhanced video boards at EverBank Field; ?If we don?t keep up, we?re falling behind. We can?t afford to do that in a market this size, because if we do, then we put the franchise at risk,? Lamping said.

Texans LB Brooks Reed could move from the outside to the inside in 2013.? (And it?s time for a question from Gronk:? ?Don?t they already play in a dome??)

Factoring in the trade for QB Alex Smith, the Chiefs will have $7.5 million in cap space, which means they?d have to create more of it to tag WR Dwayne Bowe.

Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was scheduled to speak at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.? (His comments may or may not have touched upon properly managing water bills.)

Here?s a look at the Chargers who could be cutting their pay in order to help the team clear cap space.

Raiders LS Jon Condo will receive the team?s 2012 Commitment to Excellence Award on March 9.? (The fruit still hangs too low.)

Cowboys CB Brandon Carr says he restructured his contract because he?s a ?team player.?

Giants coach Tom Coughlin reunited with players from his first head-coaching gig, at Rochester Institute of Technology, way back in 1970.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and his ex-wife are still making movies together.

Suing the league over cap space could mean that the Redskins would never host a Super Bowl.

DE Chris Canty will visit the Packers next week, his agent confirmed.

LB Nick Roach hopes to return to the Bears, at the right price.

LB Justin Durant hopes to return to the Lions, at the right price.

Vikings P Chris Kluwe explains that, when inappropriate questions are posed at the Scouting Combine, the prospective rookie can?t say ?go eff yourself.?

The bounty scandal emerged for the Saints one year ago today.

Former Falcons DE John Abraham still wants to see the team do well, even after it cut him.

Friday?s moves leave the Panthers $3.5 million over the cap, a problem that will be solved as soon as they cut CB Chris Gamble.

With their division rivals dumping a pass rusher, the Buccaneers have even greater incentive to keep DE Michael Bennett off the open market.

ESPN?s Trent Dilfer thinks 49ers (for now) QB Alex Smith will be in even better position in Chiefs coach Andy Reid?s offense.

It?s been 11 years since the Seahawks introduced the uniforms they abandoned a year ago.

Rams COO Kevin Demoff on analytics in football:? ?There is so much in play with respect to the team?s system . . . there is so much covariance in a football game because there are so many other factors.?

Hearing-impaired advocates have sued the Cardinals for failing to provide appropriate accommodations.? (Apparently, the Cardinals aren?t keen on putting ?the crowd is booing . . . again? on the video boards.)
