From readers, thoughts on the Dream Act

A poster on the wall of the UCLA Downtown Labor Center by McArthur Park, where about two dozen student activists are calling legislators and awaiting a vote on the bill, December 8, 2010
The upcoming Dream Act vote has generated by far the most reader comments in Multi-American's young history. Some readers have argued back and forth with one another on the proposed legislation. Others have simply posted their thoughts, in some cases hinting at their own personal stories. Here are a few comments, unedited.
Among the most impassioned is one that came in today at 3:21 a.m. from Stefanieromero17, who posted this:
All we want is an opportunity to become someone in this world. You have to also realize that many young Americans waist their life's at a young age. They start doing drugs, young girls get pregnant and many other things. All we are asking for is Americas help. we aren't saying that you or America owe us something. We do not take your jobs. We do the jobs that many many Americans refuse to do. I'm pretty sure you or most Americans will not work the fields and all we are asking for is to do better than our parents. Me like many other immigrants came here at a young age. To us this is our country we would do anything to get the opportunity to go to college and become someone. If it ever comes to it we would give our life's to this country in a heart beat. Well this is all i have to say.

Students at a makeshift call center downtown watch C-SPAN as they make final calls to legislators urging support for the Dream Act, December 8, 2010
Students are gathered at the UCLA Downtown Labor Center this morning to make last-minute calls to legislators and await a vote on the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would grant conditional legal status to qualifying undocumented youths who attend college or join the military.
House and Senate votes are expected today; a Senate vote, which had been expected this morning, has been moved up to mid-afternoon Eastern time.
In the news this morning: Dream Act coming up for a vote, AZ-style law proposed for CA, more
DREAM Act, Immigration Reform Bill to Get House, Senate Votes - ABC News Both the House and the Senate are expected to vote today on the measure, which would provide a conditional path to legal status for undocumented youths who attend college or enlist in the military.
Odds slim for passage of Dream Act in Senate - 89.3 KPCC The legislation faces an uphill climb, especially in the Senate, where it currently lacks the GOP support to win enough votes for passage.
Arizona-style immigration measure, gift limit among new legislative session's bills - Los Angeles Times A former Minuteman turned new state Assembly member has introduced a measure similar to Arizona's SB 1070.
Supreme Court to hear Arizona case about illegal workers - USA Today Today the high court will hear a federal challenge to an Arizona law that revokes the licenses of companies that hire undocumented workers.
A candlelit rally in L.A. as Dream Act vote nears
With a vote on the Dream Act expected as early as tomorrow, enthusiasm mixed with jangled nerves tonight at a candlelight rally held by supporters in downtown Los Angeles.
Close to two hundred people showed up outside La Placita Church near Olvera Street, some wearing caps and gowns, many holding votives and picket signs. Clergy leaders that included Cardinal Roger Mahony, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, led participants in prayer.
"We are walking with you, and we will be with you until this is accomplished," Mahony told the crowd.
It may take a while. A vote on the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would grant conditional legal status to undocumented youths who attend college or join the military, could take place in both the Senate and the House as early as tomorrow. However, chances appears slim for the proposed legislation. This is particularly true in the Senate, where it has failed to win the necessary Republican support to pass, even after a tightened version of the bill was introduced last week.
DREAM Act dollars: A roundup of reports
Robert Huffstutter/Flickr (Creative Commons)
Different estimates have been floated around in recent weeks as to what the DREAM Act represents in dollars and cents: How much money it may cost, and how much money it may generate.
Late last week, the Congressional Budget Office scored the most recent version of the bill, which would allow qualifying undocumented youths who arrived here under age 16 to obtain conditional legal status - and eventually permanent legal status - if they attend college or enlist in the military.
The CBO report concluded that over the next 10 years, as the DREAM Act increases the number of authorized workers in the country, revenues would increase by $2.3 billion and the national deficit would decrease by $1.4 billion. However, as conditional legal status gives way to permanent legal status for beneficiaries, they would qualify like other legal residents and U.S. citizens for government programs, including federal health insurance exchanges, adding to the deficit in the long run.

I worked at Eminata Group (more than 3 years)Pros
Working with students is a very fulfilling experience. Teaching is a unique career, and adult education is provides some of the best experiences you can have in that world.
I will never forget my favourite students.
All the students want to be there, and childish antics are at a minimum in the classroom.Cons
Pay is low, benefits a joke. Expect your best students to out earn you shortly after graduation.

U.S. stocks traded higher Thursday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently rose 117 points to 15616, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was up 1% at 1703 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1% to 3663. Among the companies whose shares are trading actively in Thursday's session are Trulia Inc. (TRLA), Yelp Inc. (YELP) and Boston Beer Co. (SAM).
Trulia's ($47.79, +$10.53, +28.25%) second-quarter loss narrowed as the online real-estate-listing service posted revenue growth that beat its own expectations as well as an increase in subscriber rolls. Trulia's adjusted earnings beat Wall Street expectations and the company offered upbeat revenue guidance for the current quarter.
Yelp's ($51.52, +$9.72, +23.25%) second-quarter loss narrowed as the local listings website booked stronger-than-expected revenue growth. Bottom-line results beat analysts' expectations and the company offered upbeat third-quarter sales guidance and raised its full-year revenue target.
Boston Beer's ($199.66, +$20.68, +11.55%) second-quarter earnings climbed 37% as the Samuel Adams brewer's shipments climbed, offsetting an increase in ad and promotional expenses. Results for the quarter easily topped Wall Street's expectations, and the brewer raised its full-year profit outlook.
Sprouts Farmers Market Inc.'s (SFM, $36.45, +$18.45, +102.5%) shares shoot higher during their stock market debut after pricing at a higher than expected $18 a share in their initial public offering. The Phoenix-based supermarket operator focuses on organic and natural foods.
Other Stocks in Focus:
Affymetrix Inc. (AFFX, $4.24, +$0.44, +11.45%) swung to a second-quarter loss absent a year-earlier tax gain, but the provider of gene analysis posted strong revenue growth. Results surpassed analysts' expectations.
BJ's Restaurants Inc. (BJRI, $32.25, -$3.39, -9.51%) reported second-quarter results that missed Wall Street estimates, as the restaurant operator noted a challenging top-line environment.
Bloomin' Brands Inc.'s (BLMN, $25.05, +$1.45, +6.14%) second-quarter earnings surged as the restaurant operator was helped by a tax adjustment and new restaurant openings. Adjusted earnings topped analyst estimates.
Blucora Inc. (BCOR, $21.25, +$1.25, +6.25%) has agreed to buy Monoprice--an online provider of self-branded consumer electronics and accessories--for $180 million, a deal that expands the company's online offerings. The acquisition is expected to immediately boost per-share earnings for Blucora, which has Internet search and tax-preparation businesses. Blucora's second-quarter revenue also topped analysts' estimates.
Cardtronics Inc.'s (CATM, $32.49, +$3.03, +10.29%) second-quarter net rose 59%, topping analysts' estimates, as ATM operating revenue climbed. The company lowered its per-share earnings view for the year, although it cut its revenue view for the year.
Internet-service provider Cbeyond Inc. (CBEY, $7.31, -$1.16, -13.70%) cut its revenue for 2013 as its sales force struggled with efforts to increase its focus on cloud and bandwidth services. D.A. Davidson analysts also cut the firm's 2013 per-share earning guidance by eight cents to a loss of 20 cents on expectations Cbeyond, which focuses on small and midsize business customers, will need to spend more on its sales efforts. The firm also lowered its stock price target by a dollar to $8 a share. Canaccord also lowered its price target by a buck, to $7, citing the continuing transition and the reduced guidance.
CombiMatrix Corp. (CBMX, $3.51, +$0.26, +8.00%) and Sequenom Inc. (SQNM, $2.99, -$0.02, -0.67%) entered into a collaboration agreement to market chromosomal microarray analysis testing services to broaden and confirm the results of noninvasive, prenatal testing to physicians and their patients.
Comfort Systems USA Inc. (FIX, $16.28, +$0.83, +5.37%) raised its quarterly dividend from five cents to 5.5 cents, while reporting second-quarter profit growth of 74%, easily topping Street views, as expenses fell.

Time to Vent Again !!
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 01-03-2014 - 10:53am
Hello folks
Not much traffic here anymore and I find that sad ....Anyway; Does anyone feel they are struggling at these ages? I will be 60 in April and not sure which way to look at the world anymore if that makes sense... I see women with their husbands who support them and the wives work part time for extra money and complain about life.. I went to NYE party and the people didnt have a clue how we divorced single women struggle daily... I was trying to explain things to them but they didnt care.. Its tough finding people who care these days.. I tried to sign up for health insurance and now I am scared they will garnish my bank account because I have some savings if I need the medical care...so I will have to drop it...
Its getting tiring in the U.S. trying to be middle class.. You either have to be rich or poor and I aint rich so now what?? I see people in grocery store who struggle with buying food and its not supposed to be like that here in the U.S..........There are so many empty houses and apartments yet there are homeless people with nowhere to go...the rents are insane where I live so people go to shelters.. None of this makes sense to me.......
What are the answers?
|Tue, 01-07-2014 - 6:16am
Hi Free,
it's so different here now and I have been here a very long time...:(...
I am CL of Heart Health and hardly any there...it gets lonely...;)...lol...
The new roll-out kind of fizzked...
I still have problems logging in or posting,,,the other day a post of mine seemed not post then posted three times!
I am struggling financially and I know others to.
Single divorced myself fifty-five.
Other than the rent it's food I worry about...
I live in Canada but I believe things are bad for lots of ppl.
Finally in Toronto they brought homeless ppl in out of the cold...
I live in a new community that had more resources available to me and my ds who lives with me...
If it wasn't for Community help it would be pretty tough for many ppl.
A lot of ppl rely n the Salvation Army and other churches and organizations.
Food-Banks for many are a Life=Line.
As of Jan 1 my rent went up so it's coming up with that extra money or do we move?
It was good seeing a familar face!
|Sun, 01-12-2014 - 9:48am
Everyone I know is either struggling or having to cut back considerably. My husband and I are middle class and our standard of living is much different than it has been in the last decade despite the fact we make more money. We used to take a nice vacation twice a year and now we just cannot find the money to do that. We used to eat out a couple of times a week and now it's just a few times a month. He has been driving the same car for 11 years and mine is 6 years old. I know there are people way worse off but my point is, if people like us are crunched, how on earth is everyone else making it and where are we headed.
They say that the economy is improving. I think that is just propoganda to feed consumer confidence so people will stop saving and start spending.

|Tue, 02-11-2014 - 9:12am
Hi and thanks everyone for the replies.
Its comforting when someone replies and feeling the same.. Its nice to know we are not alone..
Maybe its time for me to find a few support groups with my peers. It seems to be the only thing that works these days and finding others in similar situations and not complaining.
I am trying to cut down on food intake and just buying what I need and using that up first is saving me money and also buying one or two bunches of veggies and not using alot of variety as i was doing.. sometimes things are on sale so I buy that and eat that first and then wait for the next thing to be on sale.. and then eat that first.. and etc.etc..
I dont go out so much but when I do I pick the things that are free or very affordable and dont go overboard in my spending.. dont buy much so that helps.....and they had a sale on shoes at Marshalls so I bought a pair for only 20.00...............
only thing I want to move and get my own place and dont know which way to go..... Senior places are more money around here and over 55 is very pricey.. that leaves a landlord house or another share but I am sharing now with my sister and need to get my own place. Only thing i havent lived alone is so long and am going to feel very lonely so this is my new dilemma LOL
|Sat, 02-22-2014 - 6:58am
Hi Free!
Last year my ds and I moved to a new city.
Our rent just went up in Jan.
It's tough but struggling through it.
I believe we all can help one another.
Love the boards for the support I get.
|Mon, 02-24-2014 - 11:35pm
I finally got the notice that Medicare approved our drug coverage and now they want to fine us because we were late in applying. Over my dead body is that going to happen!!
Senioe housing can be expensive but sometimes there are government hosuing available and for seniors it is usually nicer than for low income families. Check that out. They often offer it on a sliding scale. Don't worry about living by yourself. You will be amazed at how quickly you will get used to it and the peace and quiet is really worth it. Also it will encourage you to get out and find out what is available in your community and to meet people who live there. Good luck!

Caper in the CaribbeanMarch 27,2013Cabbages and Kings is a book thats about as close as the short story writer O. Henry came to producing a full-length novel. There are a series of episodes, but they hang together around a central theme. It was first published in 1904 and was very popular.
The scene is the city of Coralio, on the Caribbean coast of a Central American country called The Republic of Anchuria. Theres a resemblance to Honduras, a country which O. Henry visited as William Sidney Porter, when he was temporarily avoiding indictment for bank embezzlement in Texas.
A central character is Frank Goodwin, an entrepreneur member of the Outs, a party that is trying to replace the Ins. He gets a message from the nations capital, coded in slang, that the president of the republic has decamped with his mistress and a valise containing money from the nations treasury. Goodwin is warned to keep an eye out for him and confiscate the money.
Also as part of the plot is the fact that the president of the Republic Insurance Co. in New York has embezzled a large sum from the company and has left with his daughter for Anchuria, which has no extradition treaty with the United States. The company sends a detective aboard the company yacht to try to bring him back.
Goodwin learns that a man and woman have checked into Coralios main hotel. He confronts them. saying to the man: You are the president of the republic, and the money in that valise belongs to the republic. The man sighs, steps into the next room, and blows his brains out. Goodwin soon learns that the man is from the insurance company, realizes that the money in the valise is not from the national treasury, and throws the valise out the window into a neighboring orange grove, so it wont be seized by the authorities.
Meanwhile the detective has arrived on the spot by yacht, and sees a man and woman enter a house on the beach. He says to the man: Are you the president of the Republic? The man admits it, in a rather Hispanic accent, whereupon the detective arrests them and takes them triumphantly back to New York. When the insurance company directors declare that hes President Miraflores of the Republic of Anchuria, they give him back his money, apologize for the inconvenience and fire the detective for incompetence.
The suicide victim, meanwhile, is so disfigured that Goodwin is able to claim its Miraflores and buries him with a headstone proclaiming that name. He also, incidentally, marries the daughter.
In the book the two incidents are widely separated. The incidents that intervene contain some typical O. Henry verve. There is a derelict beachcomber who has seen Goodwin throw the valise out the hotel window. But when Goodwin buys him a drink, the beachcomber cant continue his plot, saying: A gentleman doesnt blackmail a man he drinks with.
But later he succeeds in blackmailing Goodwin, who not only gives him money, but also a shave, a new set of clothes and passage on a freighter taking a cargo of fruit to New York, plus a farewell glass of rum. The man eyes the glass hungrily, but turns away, muttering: A gentleman doesnt drink with the man he blackmails.
The scene shifts to Alabama, where a young man named John DeG. Atwood, son of a prominent judge, is turned down by his girlfriend. O. Henry continues typically: Among other accidents that year was a Democratic president. Judge Atwood was a warhorse of Democracy. Johnny persuaded him to set the wheels moving for some foreign appointment. As a result, Johnny is named U.S. consul in Coralio. One of the first things he does is establish himself in a hammock in the consulate office. Two former consuls come to acquaint him with his duties.
Its all right, said Johnny from the hammock. If anything turns up that has to be done Ill let you fellows do it. You cant expect a Democrat to work during his first term of holding office.
Whereupon one of the others says admiringly: This man was born to hold office. He penetrates to the root of the art. The true genius of government in every word of his speech.
The story includes a coup engineered by the Vesuvius Fruit Co., which wants to eliminate a special tax on bananas. The author approaches the Latino inhabitants with a generally sympathetic condescension, but spends most of the time describing the few white inhabitants. Johnny Atwood gets his girlfriend back, but only after a series of madcap adventures that take up several chapters.
The books title comes from the Lewis Carroll poem The Walrus and the Carpenter, in Through the Looking Glass.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
does anyone know of a website explaining copyfitting preferably with copyfitting tables...
if I choose 9/11 helvetica and set at 22pica ems, with 36 lines to a page how many pages will there be etc
neither have I!!
but I need this information for research
in regard to dealing with large manuscripts for publishing
but thanks anyway
Will, hope this helps.
To calculate the number of layout pages required to flow an article, use the following algorithm.
Note: In today's world, copy is readily available in digital format. Most major word processing software can give you a character account. (Microsoft Word: Tools/Word Count) If a character count is not available but you have a printed copy of the article, use steps 1 and 2 to estimate the total # of characters in the article:
Estimating the total # of characters in original hardcopy:
1. Average the number of characters per line by counting the characters in the longest and shortest line and dividing by 2.
2. Multiply (the result of #1) by (the total number of printed lines in your hardcopy) to get the total # of characters in your copy.
Calculating the # of pages needed in your finished format:
3. Multiply (the # of characters per finished line) by (the # of lines in finished column) to get the total number of characters in your finished column.
4. Divide (the result of #2) by (the result of #3) to get the # of columns needed in your finished format.
5. Divide (the result of #4) by (the number of columns per page) to get the total number of text-only pages in your finished format.
Now that you know the sheer amount of text space you'll have to account for, you can now estimate the number of pages you'll actually need to reserve after considering imagery, headlines, and overall pacing.
I haven't used those since the introduction of DtP ...

Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer and melanoma, which extends to their third-degree relatives, and there is evidence of a reciprocal risk, according to a study published online Sept. 3 in the Archives of Neurology.
To estimate the relative risk of cancer in individuals with PD and their first-, second-, and third-degree relatives, Seth A. Kareus, M.D., from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, and colleagues used a computerized genealogy for approximately 2.3 million Utah pioneers and their descendants. The genealogic resource was linked to a statewide cancer registry (including data on 100,817 individuals) and statewide death certificates with 2,998 individuals with PD listed as a cause of death from 1904 to 2008.
The researchers found that the only cancers observed in significant excess among PD cases were melanoma and prostate cancer. Colorectal, lung, pancreas, and stomach cancers were observed at lower than expected rates. Among the PD population, as well as among their relatives, there was a significantly increased risk for prostate cancer. In 22,147 prostate cancer cases and their relatives there was a reciprocal significantly increased risk for PD. The risk for melanoma was found to be significantly elevated in the Utah PD population as well as in their relatives. In the 7,841 Utah melanoma cases and their relatives there was a reciprocal significantly increased relative risk for PD.
"These data argue strongly for a significant shared genetic risk for specific cancers on the one hand and neurodegeneration on the other," the authors write.
One author disclosed financial ties to Athena Diagnostics.

In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life -- the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and, finally, wisdom.

RTC Top 25: Week NinePosted by WCarey on January 13th, 2014
Another week of college basketball is in the books and with that was another week of noteworthy upsets. Previously undefeated and third-ranked Ohio State relearned the rigors of the Big Ten, as the Buckeyes fell twice this past week – at #4 Michigan State on Tuesday and at home to #8 Iowa on Sunday. Having lost its first ACC game to Notre Dame, #24 Duke rebounded nicely with a home win over Georgia Tech before suffering another conference loss – this time on the road to Clemson. Previously 13th-ranked Oregon and 17th-ranked Colorado discovered the perils of Pac-12 play, as the Ducks dropped home games to California and Stanford, and the Buffaloes were thoroughly outmanned in a loss at Washington on Sunday. If the first two weeks of conference play serve as any indication, the conference season will be full of excitement, surprises, and a rather fluid RTC25 the rest of the way. The quick n' dirty analysis of this week's poll is after the jump.

Fracking Chemicals, Brought to You By Susan G. Komen
And yet, another reason for me not to support the Komen Foundation.
via Mother Jones:
… Read the rest
Here's some news that frankly, I initially thought was a spoof: for the second year in a row, breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure—which caused massive outrage when it defunded Planned Parenthood in 2012—has partnered with Baker Hughes, a leader in the fracking industry. The Houston-based oilfield services company will donate $100,000 to Komen over the year and sell 1,000 pink-painted drill bits used for fracking.
According to Baker Hughes' "Doing Our Bit for the Cure" campaign website, "The pink bits serve as a reminder of the importance of supporting research, treatment, screening, and education to help find the cures for this disease, which claims a life every 60 seconds."
The irony here is that one of the primary criticisms of fracking is that the fracking process injects possible and known carcinogens, including benzene, formaldehyde, and sulfuric acid, into the ground and surrounding environment.
Texas Family Wins Big Lawsuit Against Frackers
A Texas ranching family was awarded nearly $3 million in a lawsuit against Aruba Petroleum, a company running a fracking operation near their property. Health problems began to occur soon after. Ranchers fighting a powerful entity engaged in an ethically ambiguous enterprise? I'm sure that Cliven Bundy's pals will be lauding their victory. Right? Right?
… Read the rest
In a landmark legal victory that centered on fracking, a middle-class north Texas ranching family won nearly $3 million from a big natural gas company whose drilling, they contend, caused years of sickness, killed pets and livestock, and forced them out of their home for months.
Tuesday's $2.95-million civil verdict by a six-person Dallas jury is thought to be the first of its kind in the nation. Other landowners have sued over drilling and reached settlements, but legal experts think this is the first jury verdict.
Robert and Lisa Parr filed suit against Aruba Petroleum Inc.
Fracking Linked To Increase In Oklahoma Earthquakes
To no one's great surprise, scientists have linked the elevated seismic activity in Oklahoma to increased oil and gas exploration, especially hydraulic fracturing (a/k/a tracking). From the Independent:
… Read the rest
Between 1975 and 2008, Oklahoma recorded an average of no more than six earthquakes per year, yet now it is the second most seismically active of the contiguous United States, beaten only by California. Scientists have linked this surge in seismic activity to a parallel increase in oil and gas exploration, including fracking.
In 2009, there were almost 50 quakes in Oklahoma. The following year, that number leapt to more than 1,000. Most were not "felt" earthquakes – those of magnitude 2.5 and above, which can be detected by humans. However, the state's annual record of 222 felt quakes, set in 2013, has already been broken this year, with 253 so far. Seismologist Austin Holland of the Oklahoma Geological Survey told Reuters: "We have had almost as many magnitude 3 and greater already in 2014 than we did for all of 2013… We have already crushed last year's record for number of earthquakes."
Earthquakes rarely cause damage unless they are of magnitude 4 or higher.

Wastewater Injection Triggered Oklahoma's Earthquake Cascade
Becky Oskin writes at LiveScience:
… Read the rest
One of Oklahoma's biggest man-made earthquakes, caused by fracking-linked wastewater injection, triggered an earthquake cascade that led to the damaging magnitude-5.7 Prague quake that struck on Nov. 6, 2011, a new study confirms.
The findings suggest that even small man-made earthquakes, such as those of just a magnitude 1 or magnitude 2, can trigger damaging quakes, said study co-author Elizabeth Cochran, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
"Even if wastewater injection only directly affects a low-hazard fault, those smaller events could trigger an event on a larger fault nearby," she told Live Science.
The Prague earthquake was the largest of thousands of quakes that rattled Oklahoma in late 2011. Three were magnitude-5 or stronger. The 2011 quakes struck along the Wilzetta fault, a fault zone near Prague. Earthquakes break faults like a boat plowing through thick ice — the fault zips open as the earthquake ruptures the fault, and then seals itself shut behind.
Chevron: Sorry For The Explosion. Who Wants Pizza?
Well, this is a frackin' mess… Would a large pizza and a two liter of Mountain Dew make it all better?
… Read the rest
Last Tuesday, residents of the small town Bobtown, Pennsylvania woke to an explosion and a massive, high-temperature fire, at the site of a fracking well owned by the Chevron corporation. It wasn't just any fire, either. Wrote the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Feb. 12:
More than 12 hours after an explosion that "sounded like a jet engine going 5 feet above your house," as one neighbor put it, the fire, fueled by the well's gas, continued to shoot flames and smoke into the air, causing a hissing sound that could be heard a quarter-mile away.
The heat from the blaze — which caused a tanker truck on site that was full of propane gas to explode — was so intense that first responders from local fire departments had to pull back rather than risk injury.
Lee Camp: You Won't Believe Who's Teaching Your Children To LOVE Fracking
Yet Another Study Confirms Fracking Wastewater Wells Cause Earthquakes
Trisha Marczak writes at the MintPress News:
… Read the rest
For the residents of Youngstown, Ohio, the recent onslaught of earthquakes came as a surprise.
Before the fracking wastewater industry came to Ohio, Youngstown residents didn't know what an earthquake felt like — their community of 66,000 had never experienced anything like it. Yet by 2011, a year after the industry sprouted up in their backyards, scientists had recorded 109 earthquakes.
Coincidence? Scientists behind the report published in a summer issue of Geophysical Research Letters don't think so. The report blames the fracking industry for the skyrocket in earthquakes, confirming what other geologists and scientists have said for years.
Ohio shares the natural gas-filled Marcellus shale formation, which also stretches through Pennsylvania, West Virginia and southern portions of New York. While fracking does occur in Ohio, its main role in the fracking industry relates to wastewater storage.
To frack a well, a combination of water, chemicals and silica sand is blasted down beneath the surface, where it breaks up formation where oil or gas is hidden.
Two Pennsylvania Children Banned from Discussing Fracking Settlement for Their Entire Lives
Via RT USA:
… Read the rest
The 7- and 10-year-old children of a Pennsylvania couple that reached a settlement following a lawsuit involving health issues brought on by fracking have been barred from discussing details of the case for the rest of their lives.
Though a gag order is not unusual in itself when large corporations reach a settlement with plaintiffs in court, the August 2011 case of a family that went to court with Range Resources Corporation, Williams Gas/Laurel Mountain Midstream, and Markwest Energy due to the environmental and health impact caused by gas fracking operations has raised eyebrows for its inclusion of the couple's young children.
The Pennsylvania family reached a $750,000 settlement with the gas companies, and have used the award to relocate. In exchange, however, Chris and Stephanie Hallowich agreed that no member of their family could comment on the case "in any fashion whatsoever."
Details of the case only emerged recently when the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette managed to get court transcripts released.

I contacted them a year ago about quitting their service and was told I still had a year on my contract. Ok. I stayed -- paying their 12.50 quarterly fees, their $95 annual fee, dealing with their PCI compliance forms. I contacted them January 5th to find out about ending my service with them in March. I was told that I had to give 90 day written notice and since I had not done that 9 days ago, my service was already renewed for another year. I was not notified in any way.
I have also had trouble with their processing, getting COMM ERRORs often. Finally figured out that if I cancelled the transaction and tried again, there wouldn't be any double charges. They did not tell me this. And I had to contact them when there were double charges -- which were not put into my account, but the customer was charged twice.

I WAS in contact with Prodigy about stopping using their services. They were nasty, uncooperative, "we have to go by the rules" -- when there were extenuating circumstances. Their attitude -- tough luck Chuck.
After contacting to my Attorney General, a NICE guy from Prodigy contacted me. He dealt with the circumstances about my quitting using their services in a pleasant, thoughtful manner. He said was sorry about how I was treated and it did not set well with him how they were enforcing their "rules" which didn't have to be done the way it was. I APPRECIATED that!
I would still not recommend Prodigy. They ripped me off with the PIN pad machine. Their customer service people were not helpful.
I am glad to get the resolution I got, but I would not use them again....

You did WHAT when you applied?!
by Savannah Jones
posted May 22 2013 1:09PM
Want to stay unemployed? Then do these 8 things when applying for a job.
1. Weird hobbies. You might think all your weird hobbies make you more interesting in an interview, like maybe they'll be a conversation starter. But actually they just make you LOOK WEIRD. And weird people don't get jobs when a normal person is available.
2. Your private business. Your marital status, religious affiliation, sexual orientation and other private matters shouldn't go on a resume. Employers aren't allowed to take them into account anyway. And for almost all jobs, they're irrelevant to performance.
3. Big vocabulary words. They won't impress anyone. People who don't know them will resent you, and people who do know them will see through it. And BOTH groups will think you're a showoff.
4. Unprofessional-sounding email addresses. If you're still rocking your "firstname.lastname@example.com" address from junior college, open a new account. It's free and it takes two minutes. If you don't take the job seriously, you won't get it.
5. Sensitive identifying information. Don't give them your social security number before you get the job. You don't know where they're storing that resume, or who gets to see it after you hand it over.
6. Attention-getting tactics. Don't print a resume on colored paper, or use weird fonts or decorations. Hiring managers hate all that stuff, pretty much without exception. It's all part of taking the job seriously.
7. Wild career objectives. Don't apply for a job in the mailroom and say you intend to become the CEO. Ambition is great, but delusions will get you passed over.
8. Irrelevant job experience. No one wants to read about your part-time jobs in high school. Stick to the experience that QUALIFIES you for the job you want. If that makes your resume too short, that probably means you shouldn't be applying in the first place.

Webinar: Los Cabos UnstoppableJoin us on 11/25 for the official destination update as the winter season approaches for Los Cabos.Register now
On Demand WebinarsExplore our library of over 50 On Demand webinars. There are items of interest for everyone.Learn Now>>
One day, travelers may take to the skies in in an airplane with partially transparent walls, offering panoramic views of the world outside.
It's a plane most travel-minded people would only dream about. And Airbus expects it to take off. In about, oh, 40 years.
You can take a virtual tour of Airbus' Concept Cabin prototype here. Airbus has the released details in anticipation of next week's Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport.
And what a prototype: Images of the forward cabin with wall-and-ceiling-windows have the power to set flyers' hearts aflutter -- either in anticipation or fear. You can see images of the concept during the day, left, and at night, right.
Those looking for a newer, greener and distinctly more user-friendly flight experience will welcome the Concept Plane, which intends to transform the humdrum and sometimes downright unpleasant nature of commercial flights.
The proposed jet offers different zones to suit the preferences of its passengers. A vitalizing zone will "bring the passenger closer to nature," i.e. the transparent skin of the plane could make travelers feel like they are literally soaring through the clouds. The smart tech zone lets travelers confer with colleagues on land or read a bedtime story to the kids at home.
The interaction zone would host bars, virtual shopping and gaming experiences and pop-up pods for more privacy.
In an effort to avoid class distinctions, passengers are divided based on how they want to spend their flight.
And say goodbye to invasions of privacy and silent battles over armrests: All travelers receive the same style of seat, which will stand independent of rows and morph to best fit their form.
The green factor will be upped, as well, making the plane "fully ecological," according to Airbus. If everything goes as planned, the plane will actually improve the environment. Body heat would be harnessed to power cabin facilities, and the entire cabin would be 100% recyclable. -- By Kris Fronzak

What happened to the Josh Edgin who came up and immediately became one of the more reliable and dominant relievers out of our bullpen last year? As if his his 10.80 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 10 appearances wasn't bad enough, I took a quick glance at his splits and it really showed me how bad things really have gotten for Edgin since last season. Versus LH Batters – 368 Versus RH Batters – .333 Those batting averages against are just plain awful to look at and clearly a sign that something is amiss. He no longer exudes the confidence he once did and his entire demeanor on the mound has done a complete 180. This is not the same intimidating and effective force we saw in 2012. It's as if he was replicated by one of those giant seapods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Good God, what's happened to Josh Edgin? Edgin burst onto the scene sporting a fastball with that had great late life and came in at 93-95 mph. The velocity and the movement are just not there anymore. His slider, whi...

Alongside other blockbuster flicks like "Beverly Hills Cop," "G.I. Joe," and "Hansel and Gretel," the science action robot-filled film "Transformers" is reported to have yet another sequel for the fifth time, according to reports.
While fans and viewers may expect another high-octane fight scenes from the beloved robots, the story of "Transformers 5" is said to take place when Optimus Prime leaves Earth for good. Having said so, the fifth sequel will now feature the battle between the descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons, the Maximals and the Predacons, respectively.
Meanwhile, there have been reports circulating that long time "Transformers" director Michael Bay may have given up the helmer seat to focus on another project. The rumors gained mixed reactions. Others are quite glad about it while some are still hopeful that the 49-year-old "Pearl Harbor" director will still handle the project. more >>
Actors Chris Pine (Commander James T. Kirk) and Zachary Quinto (Spock) will do at least one more film in the reboot series and the twelfth installment of the science fiction movie "Star Trek."
Collider reported that J.J. Abrams won't be there to helm the third reboot sequel as his hands are busy tending the upcoming and another space saga "Star Wars Episode VII." However, he later confirmed that he will act as one of the "Star Trek 3" producers.
Rumored to have been slated for a 2016 release, fansite Trekmovie indicated in their publication that the initial production of the film may start in Asia particularly in the bustling city of Seoul, South Korea. more >>
Earlier this year, reports indicated that directors Anthony and Joe Russo had been signed again to direct a third installment for the superhero film "Captain America." The helmers confirmed the reports in March 2014 with Kevin Feige set as producer and Christopher Markus and Stephen McFreely to once again write the screenplay.
The continuation of the franchise was brought out following the record-breaking April box office opening for the previous "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." This goes on to say that the Marvel film series is indeed a "hot solo-movie commodity," as Screen Rant put it.
Meanwhile, casting rumors indicated Jeremy Renner's involvement in the project. more >>
Academy Award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon stars in the new film "The Good Lie" and recently quoted Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church while promoting the film.
During a press conference for the movie, which tells the story of four Sudanese refugees who flee a vicious civil war and arrive at a refugee camp in Kenya, which eventually gives them the opportunity to make a life in the U.S., she discussed a statement made by the Purpose Driven Life author related to the perception Americans might have about refugees, such as the ones seen in her new film.
"I was talking to Rick Warren yesterday, he said sometimes we assume that if people are poor they're not intelligent or they don't have anything to offer to society," Witherspoon said. "[Sometimes] these are people who were top of their field, and they're doctors, they're educators, they're community leaders, and essentially they're [just] displaced." more >>
"The Good Lie" opens in theaters this week and tells the true story of the lost boys of the Sudan; refugees who fled from a horrifying civil war that ripped that land apart in the 1980s and '90s.
The film opens up with a group of children fleeing the Sudan by foot, traveling thousands of miles to a camp for refugees. During the trip, these young Sudanese girls and boys encounter soldiers and various obstacles along the way and manage to make it to the camp, but not without losing a few of their friends.
They eventually grow older and are taken in by families in the U.S. who work together with faith-based charities. Four of the refugees, Mamere (Arnold Oceng), Jeremiah (Ger Duany), Paul (Emmanuel Jal) and Abital (Kuoth Weil), are eventually faced with the task of adjusting to American culture. more >>
With the principal photography and filming production already wrapped up, it won't be that much long before fans of the Jurassic fiction can finally take glimpse of the upcoming installment by Colin Trevorrow, "Jurassic World," on the big screen.

Slightly shaken and a little bit groggy, the image shows what appears to be an interior of a display center with small educational podiums set and labeled for each dinosaur pieces, including that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. more >>
