Production at Mexicoâs giant Cantarell oil field will fall by 15 percent this year, JesÃºs Reyes HerÃ³les, left, the director general of PetrÃ³leos Mexicanos, Mexicoâs state-owned oil monopoly, said. Output dropped 13.1 percent last year. Mr. Reyes HerÃ³les, a former energy minister who took over at Pemex in December, said other projects would help make up for the shortfall at Cantarell, which last year accounted for about 55 percent of Pemexâs overall production of 3.26 million barrels a day. Mexico is a top supplier of imported oil to the United States. Mr. Reyes HerÃ³les said that the company needed additional investment of $8 billion to $10 billion a year to keep up production, develop new reserves, expand its refining capacity and modernize its storage and transport network. But Pemex is closed to private investment and cannot finance the investment itself. Last year, Pemex sales surpassed $100 billion but it paid $79 billion in taxes, which accounted for almost 40 percent of Mexicoâs federal budget.

Question: Whatâs the connection between an abandoned bathing suit and three cows? Answer: Nicole Kidman. The story goes this way: a bathing suit left by Ms. Kidman at a pool in Sweden is to be auctioned on Saturday to raise money to buy cows for poor families in India, Agence France-Presse reported. The suit, now owned by Zlatko Nedanovski and on display in a second-hand store in Eslov, a town in southern Sweden, will go to the highest bidder when the sale finishes on Saturday. Mr. Nedanovski, 32, bought the swimsuit for $778 after the staff at the pool turned it over to a local radio station. Ms. Kidman, an avid swimmer, forgot the suit at a pool she had reserved for her use in the town of Vanersborg in 2002 while in Sweden to film Lars von Trierâs âDogville.â Mr. Nedanovski said he hoped to raise $1,400 to buy five cows through the Swedish aid organization Erikshjaelpen. âToday,â he said, referring to an early bid, âwe have enough for three cows.â.
