Have Public Servants Charged with Protecting Drinking Water for 15 Million People Sold Out to the Gas Drilling Industry?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Over the past decade, 34 states have succumbed to the hazardous and largely unregulated hydraulic fracturing (widely known as "fracking") of deep shale formations to extract natural gas. This radical drilling method, blasting its way from Texas and the Rockies, through Louisiana and Arkansas to the east, has wreaked havoc, turning large swathes of the nation sitting above shale formations into industrial zones, degrading landscapes, economies, land values, air quality, and perhaps most importantly, water.
But on the eastern edge of the Marcellus Shale, the nation's largest shale formation extending from New York and Pennsylvania to West Virginia, the multi-state entity responsible for protecting the historic and vibrant river and its vast basin, much of which lies above the Marcellus, halted the process. In May 2009, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), which consists of the governors of New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as the commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers North Atlantic Division, issued an Executive Director Determination (EDD) that put a moratorium on permits for new production gas drilling projects in the shale layers. Then in June 2010, the Commission issued a Supplemental Executive Director Determination (SEDD) extending its permit moratorium to include exploratory well projects, with one important proviso -- 14 exploratory wells already granted state permits could proceed.
The Supplemental Determination on exploratory wells pleased few. Drilling interests, which wanted immediate revenues, regarded the moratorium on test wells as an unfair limitation. Anti-drilling advocates, who claimed that building exploratory gas wells is as dangerous as fracking, saw the grandfathering of the 14 wells as reckless. Each side -- drillers Newfield Appalachia PA and Hess Corporation joined by the North Wayne Property Owners Alliance and anti-drilling groups Damascus Citizens for Sustainability and Delaware Riverkeeper Network, joined by Bucks County's Nockamixon Township--petitioned for an administrative hearing. At its meeting on July 14 of last year, the Commission agreed to comply: In December 2010 (later extended to January 2011) DRBC said it would conduct several days of hearings in which each side could testify and present expert testimony on exploratory wells.
But then at its December 8 meeting, DRBC canceled the hearing, explaining in a statement that it "made the decision in accordance with the recommendation of the hearing officer" in his letter of December 6. This letter stated that since the drilling interests had either already completed the exploratory wells in question or had agreed to submit the wells to Commission review once they were completed, the matter of the exempted wells was moot. Any ensuing problems in exploratory wells could be addressed at a later time.
But by then, anti-drillling advocates say, irreparable harm might be done. Dug a mile into the shale to test the suitability of a site for fracking, exploratory wells are often developed into production wells that use hydrofracking for gas extraction. Fracking aside, the construction of exploratory wells is dangerous, the anti-drilling experts' reports argue, due to the very nature of exploration, the toxic chemicals used in construction (which may contaminate aquifers and air alike), the release of naturally occurring radioactive material, and more. As for the many other issues the anti-drilling co-appellants sought to present at the hearing -- including the DRBC's Rules of Practice and Procedure and the "inappropriate communication between the Commission and industry" -- cancellation ended an opportunity for their public airing.
It's unknown what happened between July 2010, when the hearing was planned, and December 2010 to cause the abrupt cancellation. But possible industry influence beckons for attention.
Possible Players and Moves
The December 6 letter was signed by hearing officer, Edward N. Cahn, on his law firm's letterhead. In August, when Cahn was appointed, the DRBC and the media identified him as a retired federal judge of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and later its chief justice, a distinguished jurist for whom both the Federal Building and United States Courthouse in Allentown had been renamed. At the time, there was little if any press mention of the fact that Judge Cahn, since retiring from the bench, had served at the law and lobbying firm Blank Rome as "of counsel," a title that allows firms to gain both prestige and business from retired judges who in turn gain income from revenues. No doubt both sides knew of the judge's 11-year service at Blank Rome, but his area of expertise in the large and diverse firm was intellectual property and mediation.

'In Ferocious Anger I Bit The Hand That Controls' – The Rise Of Afrikaans Punk Rock Music
On a night in 2006, a Cape Town's night club, its floor littered with cigarette butts, plays host to an Afrikaner (sub)cultural gathering. Guys with seventies' glam rock hairstyles, wearing old school uniform-like blazers decorated with a collection of pins and buttons and teamed up with tight jeans, sneakers and loose shoelaces keep one eagerly awaiting eye on the set stage and another on the short skirted girls. Before taking to the stage, the band, Fokofpolisiekar, entices the audience with the projection of their latest music video for the acoustic version of their debut hit single released two years before and entitled 'Hemel op die platteland'.
In tune with the melancholy sound of an acoustic guitar, the music video kicks off with the winding of an old film reel revealing nostalgic stock footage of a long gone era. Well-known images make the audience feel a sense of estrangement by means of ironic disillusionment: the sun is setting in the Cape Town suburb of Bellville. Seemingly bored, the five members of Fokofpolisiekar hang around the Afrikaans Language Monument. Against the backdrop of a blue-grey sky, the well-known image of a Dutch Reformed church tower flashes in blinding sunlight. Smiling white children play next to swimming pools in the backyards of well-to-do suburbs and on white beaches while the voice of the lead singer asks:
can you tighten my bolts for me? / can you find my marbles for me? / can you stick your idea of normal up your ass? / can you spell apathy? can someone maybe phone a god / and tell him we don't need him anymore / can you spell apathy? (kan jy my skroewe vir my vasdraai? / kan jy my albasters vir my vind? / kan jy jou idee van normaal by jou gat opdruk? / kan jy apatie spel? kan iemand dalk 'n god bel / en vir hom sê ons het hom nie meer nodig nie / kan jy apatie spel?)
And whilst the home video footage of a family eating supper in a green acred backyard is sharply contrasted with images of broken garden chairs in an otherwise empty run-down backyard, the theme of the song resonates ironically in the chorus: 'it's heaven on the platteland' ('dis hemel op die platteland'). On the dirty floor of the night club, a young white Afrikaans guy kills his Malboro cigarette and takes a sip of his lukewarm Black Label beer, watching more video images of morally grounded suburb, school and church and relates to the angry words of the vocalist:
'regulate me […] place me in a box and mark it safe / then send me to where all the boxes/idiots go / send me to heaven I think it's on the platteland' ('reguleer my, roetineer my / plaas my in 'n boks en merk dit veilig / stuur my dan waarheen al die dose gaan / stuur my hemel toe ek dink dis in die platteland / dis hemel op die platteland').
As the video draws to a close, the young man sees the ironic use of the partly exposed motto engraved on the path to the Language Monument: 'This is us'. He has never visited the Language Monument, but he agrees with what he just saw and because he feels as though he just paged through old photo albums (only to come to the disillusioned conclusion that everything has been all too burlesque) he puts his hands in the air when the band takes to the stage with the lead singer commanding:
'Lift your hands to the burlesque […] We want the attention / of the brainless crowd / We want the famine the urgent lack of energy / We are in search of the search for something / We are empty, because we want to be' ('Rys jou hande vir die klug […] Ons soek die aandag / van die breinlose gehoor / Ons soek die hongersnood die dringende gebrek aan energie / Ons is op soek na die soeke na iets / Ons is leeg, want ons wil wees'.

Evan Mantzaris – The Ndundulu Invasion
"I don't know if this is part of your research, but since you ask, I'll answer you very honestly. I'm a lot of things, son, I'm a Zulu and a Xhosa, a God and a Devil, I'm a valley and a mountain, a jungle and a desert, I'm the rain and the drought, but above everything else I am anamaZulu man."
"Why, Mkhulu?"
"Because I was born in Zululand, I lived in Zululand and I'll die in Zululand. I haven't been to school, but I've been a cleaner in one place for 40 years. When I walk to the bottle store I touch the ground of the heroes and the ghosts, when I pick up a mango I touch the hand of God, when I jump the hill with my grandson I can see the deep valleys of Africa, and when I dream I am a warrior in Shaka's army. I learned to speak and think here, I drank from the river of wisdom of my grandfather. I herded cattle here and I spoke to my ancestors hiding behind the clouds when they bring rain. That's why I'm a Zulu, son."
"Do you tell these things to your grandchildren?"
Evan Mantzaris' The Ndundulu Invasion calls to mind certain moments from Brilliant Orange matches. Suddenly everything clicks. A move, a look. And then minutes of exceptionally beautiful gameplay. Insight, grace and elegance, and a foul if necessary.
A book is like a soccer match. One chapter shows the build-up, the strategy, while in the next you're overwhelmed by a Van der Vaart move or a Bergkamp back heel volley. But then you run into Neeskens and you're right back down to earth. And every now and then you lose track. You wonder where it's going. The match demands an editor at those times.
The Ndundulu Invasion has all the trademarks of an extraordinary game from the Cruyff era. Insight, enthusiasm, commitment, a certain kind of laziness, chaotic, but with a clear goal.
It's with pleasure that we publish this Great South African Novel online. Each chapter is followed by a link to the next.
Enjoy reading!

The Ndundulu Invasion – Chapter 1 – Jesus Cristos
Bongi realised that now he had the time and the appetite to start and finish something, a novel, an African novel full of love, passion, tradition and soccer, not necessarily in that order.
Something that could push young people open a book, escape poverty and Playstation 2 and read. He now remembered vividly when he accompanied his 15 year old nephew to Gauteng. He bought Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and passed it to the young boy.
The boy looked at him with a giant question mark in his eyes:
"What do I suppose to do with this, malume (uncle)"?
"It's a book, son."
"I can see, it's a thin book."
"It's a thin brilliant book, so."
"Is it available at Kalahari.net?"
"I'm sure it is, why you ask?"
"It will be cheaper there."
"It does not matter now, I bought it."
"Have you read it?"
"Some years ago."
"So why did you buy it again?"
"For you."
"For me?"
"To do what with it."
"To read it."
"I don't read books on holidays, uncle."
"I do Playstation and go to the mall." Read more
The National Art Gallery, A Shining Gem On Rwesero Hill
Not many people probably know that The National Art Gallery (The NAG) in Nyanza is since 2006 a contemporary arts museum in Rwanda. It is even the only one in the great lakes district. The classical building hosting this museum has been constructed at the end of the fifties of the past century and is beautifully located in the scenic hills, just outside Nyanza. It was built for Rwanda's last king Matara III Rudahigwa, who died in 1959, just before he would move into his modern palace.. Since Mutara's death, the palace has hosted several judicial institutes, like the High Court and the Supreme Court. The late archeologist and visionair prof. dr. Celestin Kanimba, former DG of INMR, regarded contemporary art as one of the healing means to recover from the1994 genocide. The NAG is part of the Institute of National Museums of Rwanda, which includes 5 various national museums.
Architecture and location
The building, designed by Belgian architect Robert Quintet, has been constructed at the end of the 1950's. It is beautifully located on top of Rwesero hill. The building and location itself can be experienced as an excellent typical Rwandese attraction, as a masterly mixture of landscape, colonial architecture and royal history.
It turned out to be a lucky shot to change the destiny of the palace into a museum.
In the first place because of the architecture and its surroundings. But even more important is its location in the city of Nyanza, were in former 'royal' days Rwandan culture was flourishing. The King's Palace Museum is near and both museums are located far away from noisy cities like Kigali and Huye. Read more
Hunter S. Thompson: His Last Shotgun Art. No More Fear And Loathing In Woody Creek.
Hunter S. Thompson, the counter culture 'gonzo' journalist, died on February 20, 2005 by a weapon of his choice. The inventor of Shotgun Art and Shotgun Golf fatally shot himself at his Owl Creek farm in Woody Creek, Colorado. He was 67.
'Prince of Gonzo' he called himself, 'Doctor Gonzo', 'Doctor of Journalism', 'Outlaw Journalist', 'Doc', 'The Duke': Hunter Stockton Thompson (Louisville, Kentucky, 1939).
Rock star of the written word.
And as with rock stars meeting one is never an easy task. But we managed, once, after endless waiting and drinking our way into the local bar, The Woody Creek tavern. The sun was already sinking behind the Rocky Mountains, bathing the area around the Tavern in a chill and cheerless light, when finally the great Doctor made his appearance. Five in the morning would have been a more approriate time.
Word had it that Thompson was burned out. That, battle weary, he'd given up on the Gonzo cause. Gonzo comes from the French-Canadian word gonzeaux which means something along the lines of shining path. Hunter Thompson was that path; the only fully fledged grand master of Gonzo. His Gonzo style was often confused with New Journalism, made famous by Tom Wolfe and Gay Talese. But that is quite incorrect. Wolfe and the like attack the truth with the techniques of the novelist. They lose themselves in the minds of their subjects. Thompson lost himself in his own mind, and traced only his own madcap, hallucinatory journey through the many events in his stories. "It's essentially a 'what if'," as P. J. O'Rourke, another Rolling Stone celebrity, quoted Thompson. Read more

Live octopus was on the menu at O2 Sushi, a handsomely appointed new Asian restaurant in Lynnwood. On my first visit, I had purposely turned up on a Thursday to sit at the sushi bar with a friend who offered an insider's tip: That's when O2 gets its special weekly shipment of fish from Japan and Korea.
A baby octopus wasn't showing any signs of jet lag. I watched a young sushi chef lift the writhing creature and hand it to the head chef, who chopped it into small sections and added a drizzle of sesame oil. The pieces were still wriggling when he set the plate before two Korean men seated next to us.
Our own meal began with omakase (chef's choice) sushi. We shared an order (prices begin at $50 per person) so we could try hot dishes as well. Tempura, teriyaki, grilled items, Korean stews, noodle bowls and stir-fries are on the menu, too.
Sashimi arrived first: salmon, hamachi and two kinds of tuna, four pieces each cut about half an inch thick, nestled in shredded daikon along with pickled onion, burdock root and ginger. Before that was gone, more sashimi arrived: amberjack, striped jack, albacore, halibut and escolar. A third wave included nigiri sushi, though we had to request it: a pair each of salmon, maguro, shrimp and cooked octopus.
The fish tasted exceptionally fresh and pristine; only the albacore was undistinguished. While there was nothing unique among the assortment, the quantity was more than expected.
"Korean sushi restaurants are different from Japanese," the octopus-eating man told us. "The food just keeps coming." I later discovered the booths and private rooms here have three call buttons to summon the waitress, more sake or beer.
Back at the sushi bar, the raw fish kept coming, as did our cooked food.
Grilled hamachi collar rewarded digging into the bony pockets with rich morsels of yellowtail. Red chili sauce glazed a fantastic whole grilled calamari, sliced into tender rings and tentacles. Far more subtle but equally delicious was Ankimo, medallions of warm monkfish liver dotted with sriracha and green onion. Grilled skewers of shiitake mushrooms, chicken thighs and little pork sausages were just ho-hum.
Several banchan (kimchi and other pickled and fermented nibbles, complimentary with Korean meals) accompanied a tureen of "spicy fish stew": The fiery, red broth held bitter greens and daikon, but mostly chunks of white fish on-the-bone and a bundle of intestines, too.
It's not all raw fish and offal here. My all-American teen and her meat-and-potatoes dad found a lot to like.
Seafood yaki udon will satisfy noodle needs. The seafood was scant — two mussels, one shrimp and many calamari-Os — but high-quality, and the velvety white sauce had plenty of seafood flavor. Meat fanciers might pursue the rich comfort of a rice bowl topped with tissue-thin slices of fatty brisket smothered in sukiyaki sauce.
Pickled vegetables and a wispy, refreshing cabbage slaw accompany the respectable salmon teriyaki. Tempura was light and lovely. On each visit the chef gifted diners with tempura-fried shiso leaves stuffed with savory minced hamachi — a plate I would happily pay for if it were on the menu.
Speaking of gifts, that first night at the sushi bar our new friend offered us a bite of live octopus. It was still squirming, but not as much as I was. My pal avidly pinched a pearly morsel with her chopsticks and popped it into her mouth. I had a harder time picking up a piece; not only was it slippery, it was also, I realized with mounting dismay, clinging to the plate with its tiny suction cups.
This is the sort of moment in which vegans are born, and in which a restaurant critic's mettle is tested. "Make sure you chew it really well," said our benefactor, cheering me on. I did, but the longer I chewed, the less I could imagine swallowing.
O2 Sushi attracts families and business people. There can be a slight language barrier between staff and customers, but many smiles bridge the gap, and the chorus of greetings and goodbyes upon arrival or departure make everyone feel welcome.

Firefall launches open beta on July 9
by Alice O'Connor, shacknews.com, Apr 18, 2013 6:00AM PDT
Free-to-play jetpacking MMOFPS Firefall will enter open beta on July 9, developer Red 5 Studios announced today. It'll essentially be in a launch-ish state, with the in-game item store live and everything, but Red 5 wants more feedback and to give the servers a good testing before officially going live.
"Closed Beta testing is nearing completion now that Firefall's core systems and server technology are established," an FAQ explains. "Open Beta will allow Red 5 to expand Firefall's servers and test upcoming content with a larger audience for broader feedback and heavier load on our infrastructure."
If you suddenly decide you can't wait eleven weeks to play Firefall, you can still buy founder's access for instant closed beta access and a bag of in-game currency.
Here's a recent trailer with questionable use of quotes from real wartime political speeches:

Man confronts anti-gun protesters, shouting, 'Arm the teachers!'
Larry Ward told MyFoxDC that he is a father of two young children; he confronted the protesters on the street and argued kids may be safer if school officials were armed.
"This principal in the school tried to defend the children and was killed for it," Ward said. "But if the principal tried to defend the children with a gun, perhaps (she) could have saved many lives."
Anti-gun activists began campaigns and demonstrations to pressure Washington to adopt stricter gun control laws after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Foresters, KaBOOM! & Volunteers Revitalize Winter Garden Community With New Playground
Playground to enhance family well-being
WINTER GARDEN, FL, Nov. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - A dream is now a reality for special needs children in Winter Garden as their drawings were turned into a new playground today. In less than eight hours, the play space was built with the help of more than 200 volunteers from Foresters TM, UCP of Central Florida and non-profit KaBOOM!. Annually, the playground will serve 700 children and their families in the local community.
"Foresters believes in providing opportunities for families to spend quality time together," said Bruce Burak, National Sales Manager, US Branch, Foresters. "A playground is an important piece for the revitalization of a community. Not only does it provide a first step towards keeping children healthy, but it's a safe, central location for the entire neighborhood to get together."
Planning for the playground began at a Design Day event held in October when local children and community leaders met with organizers from KaBOOM! and Foresters to design their dream playground. The children's drawings were then used to create the final playground design.Since 2006, Foresters has invested over $7 million with KaBOOM! with almost 100 playgrounds built or planned across the U.S. and Canada. Over their 15 year lifespan, these playgrounds will provide more than 2.6 million children and their families with an opportunity to spend quality time together. Foresters is a KaBOOM! National Partner and a founding member of the KaBOOM! Leadership Circle - a group of organizations providing long-term guidance and support to KaBOOM! and its mission. "Without the collaboration of UCP, KaBOOM! and Foresters, UCP's Winter Garden children would be limited on play," said Dr. Ilene Wilkins, CEO/President of UCP of Central Florida. "Now, children of all abilities will be able to learn, grow, and play on the accessible playground. The playground provides therapeutic benefits that will help our children develop and reach their full potential." Thanks to the work of Foresters, UCP and KaBOOM!, children and their families now have a 2,500 square-foot playground to call home that includes features such as slides, swings, and accessible features for children of all abilities.

White Sox stay hot with 4-3 win over A's

OAKLAND, Calif. — Adam Dunn has tried them all, and he has finally settled into a designated-hitter routine.
And the winner is …
"I sit there and watch the game and don't do anything until about two batters before I'm due up,'' the White Sox first-year DH said Friday. "Then and I go down [to the indoor hitting cage], stretch a little and take 10 or 15 swings and I go with it.''
Dunn was fortunate to be in the dugout to see one of baseball's most exciting plays, a straight attempted steal of home. The A's Coco Crisp was out on the play to end the eighth inning and it helped preserve a 4-3 Sox victory, their fifth in the last six games.
Dunn, a DH for the first time in a career, has embraced the new role and is bent on making the most of it. He's finding out it's not such a bad thing after all.
"If you're hitting and winning it's probably the best gig you can have, you know?'' Dunn said. "I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable doing it. Trying to get where it's second nature.''
Dunn (0-for-4, three strikeouts) wasn't hitting Friday but he and the Sox have been winning thanks in large part to his revived bat.
With left-hander Matt Thornton's back to Crisp and working from a full windup, Crisp made a dash for the plate, but Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski lunged forward and tagged Crisp, sliding head first, on the right shoulder for the out.
"It's one of those plays if it works it's unbelievable, and if it doesn't you say, 'What are you doing,' '' Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Everything has to go perfect.
"Our percentage of [giving up] base stealers is so bad, they tried to steal home plate, too,'' Guillen quipped.
Sergio Santos' save percentage remained perfect in his fourth opportunity. Santos, who struck out cleanup man Hideki Matsui and Kurt Suzuki to end the game with a perfect ninth inning, has not been scored on in 18 innings.
Jesse Crain rescued Phil Humber (3-3) in the seventh, but not before the three batters who opened the inning with singles against Humber scored to trim the Sox lead to 4-3. Humber, whose ERA is 2.33 over his last four starts, had cruised through six scoreless innings with two hits allowed.
"Phil was great,'' Guillen said. "He was a little under the weather, too.''
The Sox scored four in the second against former Sox right-hander Brandon McCarthy (1-4), who walked two in the inning — the only bad one of his seven — and made an error when he had Juan Pierre picked off at first.
Omar Vizquel had an RBI double and Gordon Beckham a sacrifice fly in the inning. After Vizquel's double, the Sox had one hit — a single by Vizquel in which he was out trying to stretch into a double.
Despite his rough night, Dunn is hitting .400 (10-for-25) with five doubles, a home run, four RBI and seven runs scored in this stretch of six games and five victories.
"You know, if I would have started off hot as could be, I would have said, 'Relax,' '' he said. "There will be some rough spots coming through here.' It's how I am. I wish I was a lot more consistent player, but I've got to ride the streaks when they are good.''
Settling into a routine between at-bats hasn't hurt.
"It's the best thing I've tried,'' Dunn said. "I've tried everything else. I feel like I'm into the game because I'm sitting on the bench watching it.''

My research and teaching includes social psychology, deviant behavior and criminology, gender, science and technology education, childhood and adolescence, and research methods and statistics.
My teaching experience consists of courses in introductory sociology, quantitative and qualitative research methods, statistics, writing in sociology, juvenile delinquency, criminology, deviant behavior, social psychology, childhood, and LGBT studies. In 2012, I started teaching courses online for the first time. This mode of teaching is proving to be exciting and liberating.
My basic research stems from interests in self and identity, taking a perspective commonly referred to as identity theory. My most recent basic research focuses on juvenile delinquents' self-concepts and how these may predict success or failure at avoiding future delinquency.
My most recent applied research has included an evaluation of a nonprofit program in San José called Sunday Friends. .
