Georgia's recorded history dates back more than 2,500 years. Georgian -- a South Caucasian (or Kartvelian) language unrelated to any other outside the immediate region -- is one of the oldest living languages in the world, and it has its own distinctive alphabet. Tbilisi, located in the picturesque Mtkvari River valley, is more than 1,500 years old. In the early 4th century Georgia adopted Christianity, only the second nation in the world to do so officially, and Orthodox Christianity -- in combination with a unique language and alphabet -- proved to be key factors in preserving Georgias separate identity for so many centuries. Georgia has historically found itself on the margins of great empires, and Georgians have lived together in a unified state for only a small fraction of their existence as a people. Much of Georgia's territory was fought over by Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Mongol, and Turkish armies from at least the 1st century B.C. through the 18th century. The zenith of Georgias power as an independent kingdom came in the 11th and 12th centuries, during the reigns of King David the Builder and Queen Tamara, who still rank among the most celebrated of all Georgian rulers. In 1783 the king of Kartli (in eastern Georgia) signed the Treaty of Georgievsk with the Russians, by which Russia agreed to take the kingdom as its protectorate.
In 1801, the Russian empire began the piecemeal process of unifying and annexing Georgian territory, and for most of the next two centuries (1801-1991) Georgia found itself ruled from St. Petersburg and Moscow. Exposed to modern European ideas of nationalism under Russian tutelage, Georgians like the writer Ilya Chavchavadze began calling for greater Georgian independence. In the wake of the collapse of tsarist rule and war with the Turks, the first Republic of Georgia was established on May 26, 1918, and the country enjoyed a brief period of independence under the Menshevik president, Noe Zhordania. However, in March 1921, the Russian Red Army re-occupied the country, and Georgia became a republic of the Soviet Union. Several of the Soviet Unions most notorious leaders in the 1920s and 1930s were Georgian, such as Joseph Stalin, Sergo Orjonikidze, and Lavrenti Beria. In the postwar period, Georgia was perceived as one of the wealthiest and most privileged of Soviet republics, and many Russians treated the countrys Black Sea coast as a kind of Soviet Riviera. On April 9, 1991, the Supreme Council of the Republic of Georgia declared independence from the U.S.S.R.
Beset by ethnic and civil strife from independence in 1991, Georgia began to stabilize in 1995. However, almost 300,000 internally displaced persons present an enormous strain on the country. Peace remains fragile in the separatist areas of Abkhazia and South Ossetia -- overseen by Commonwealth of Independent States' (essentially Russian) peacekeepers, the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG), and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Considerable progress has been made in negotiations on the Ossetian-Georgian conflict. Negotiations are continuing on the stalemated Georgia-Abkhazia conflict under the aegis of the United Nations.
After surviving assassination attempts in August 1995 and February 1998, then-President Shevardnadze consolidated his leadership and declared an ambitious reform agenda. Elections on November 5, 1995, described at the time as the freest and fairest in the Caucasus or Central Asia, gave him the presidency and resulted in a progressive parliament led by sophisticated reformers. Since 1998, however, the reform process has encountered serious obstacles and made limited progress.
Following the seriously flawed November 2, 2003 parliamentary elections, popular street demonstrations led to the November 23, 2003 resignation of former President Eduard Shevardnadze. Nino Burjanadze, as Speaker of the Parliament, assumed the duties of Interim President. As a result, National Movement and the Burjanadze-Democrats emerged as the leading parties in Georgia. The former pro-government coalition For a New Georgia effectively dissolved. The Revival Party led by Jemal Gogitidze is overwhelmingly based in Ajara and is firmly under the control of that regions governor, Aslan Abashidze. Revival, New Rights, the Labor Party, and the Industrialist are significant opposition parties.
The political status of the breakaway provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is unresolved. Isolated outbreaks of violence continue to erupt in Abkhazia. About 300,000 people displaced by these conflicts have yet to return to home.
Renewed fighting in neighboring Chechnya (Russia) in late 1999 generated
concerns that the conflict will spill over into Georgia. Several thousand
Chechen refugees moved into Georgia's Pankisi Gorge in late 1999, adding
to the refugee/internally displaced population. The Abkhaz separatist dispute
also continues to absorb much of the government's attention. While a cease-fire
is in effect, about 300,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were
driven from their homes during the conflict constitute a vocal lobby. The
government has offered the region considerable autonomy in order to encourage
a settlement, which would allow the IDPs, the majority of whom are ethnic
Georgians from the Gali region, to return home, but the Abkhaz insist on

Command patterns
You can place commands and controls on several surfaces in your Store app, including the app canvas, pop-ups, dialogs, and app bars. Choosing the right surface at the right time can mean the difference between an app that's a breeze to use and one that's a burden.
In Store apps, commands are the interactive UI elements that a user can use to take action. A command is different from a navigation element in that a navigation element moves the user to a different page, whereas a command lets the user take an action on the current page. Navigation elements make an app usable. Commands make an app useful.
For more info about the different command surfaces in apps, see Laying out your UI.
Command types
Filter commands remove or hide content within a data set, based on some criteria. For example, a user might choose to view only those games in the Windows Store that are categorized as "Adventure."
Pivot commands reorganize content within a data set and gives a different view of the data based on the pivot. For example, a user might choose to organize songs by album, artist, or songs.
Sort commands change the order in which content is displayed within a data set. For example, a user might choose to destinations in a travel app by popularity.
View commands change the style or method in which content is displayed. For example, in an app that finds hotels, a user might choose view hotels on a map instead of in a list.
You can place hint commands on your canvas if you think they'll benefit your users. For example, in the Mail app in Windows 8.1, there's an "ellipses" command that hints at additional options. Clicking on it displays the app's app bar, in addition to the conventional Windows methods that display an app bar.
You can design such hints to match the style of your app. This news app uses the same app bar hint, plus a flag with a menu icon that displays a page of menu choices.
Any interactive UI element that enables the user to take action within the current view is a command. Here are some examples.
Command placement
On the canvas
If a command (or a command menu) is critical and is constantly needed for the user to complete the core scenarios, put it on the canvas. For example, in the Mail app in Windows 8.1, core commands like response, new, and delete appear on the canvas when a mail is selected.
Bottom app bar
Sometimes you don't want commands to clutter the canvas and affect your user's ability to consume the app content. Use the bottom app bar to display commands to users on demand. The bottom app bar shows commands that are relevant to the user's context, usually the current page or the current selection.
The bottom app bar works well for both single- and multi-select commanding. You can program your app so that the app bar appears when a user selects objects.
Command placement guidelines
You can have variations in how you position commands within the app bar, but you should consider the following:
- Predictability To the extent possible, use consistent interaction and command placement across all views of your app.
- Ergonomics Consider how the placement of specific commands can improve the speed or ease with which a command can be acted upon.
- Aesthetics Limit the number of commands to avoid the app bar from looking complicated. Choose icons that are easy to understand or predict. Keep text labels short.
We recommend the following command placement guidelines:
Place persistent or default commands on the right side of the app bar. If there are only a few commands, the app bar may end up with commands only on the right.
In this example for the browse commands, the view command set and the filter/sort set are persistent.
Use the edges. If there is a larger number of commands, separate distinct command sets on the left or the right to balance out the app bar and to make commands more ergonomically accessible.
In this example, we decided to move the view command set to the left and keep the filter/sort set on the right. When map view is active, the map view commands appear to the right of the view command set.
Show/hide disabled commands. These are commands that are not relevant in certain circumstances. When they do appear, they should not disrupt the ordering of persistent commands.
In this example, map view is active and the map view commands appear to the right of the view command set.
Insert selection commands. Commands that appear as a result of the user making a selection go on the far left, sliding over any commands that may have been there. This makes selection commands more noticeable and easier to access.
In this example, the view command set slides over to the right to make room for the selection command set.
Placement of common commands
Some commands are common and appear in many apps. To create consistency and instill confidence, we recommend the following guidelines when deciding where to place common commands in the app bar.
Place selection commands on the far left, whether they are contextual commands that appear on selection, or commands that affect selection.
In this example, before users select anything, a "Select all" command appears on the left. After users select something, the other selection commands appear on the left.
Place new item commands against the right edge of the bar. New item commands can be add, create, compose, or any command that creates a new entity. New item commands should be easily accessible with thumbs.
In this example, the "New review" command lets users create a new restaurant review. Other commands, related to "New review," are placed next to it to the left.
The + glyph should be used only to represent the "New" command, and it should not appear anywhere else in an app bar.
Place delete commands to the left of new item commands. Use Delete/New if your app is about managing individual entities that may persist outside of your particular application, like in a mail or camera app. Delete/New should always appear in this order.
Place remove commands to the left of add commands. Use Remove/Add if your app is about managing a list, such as a to-do list, a list of cities in a weather app, or a list of bookmarked restaurants. Remove/Add should always appear in this order.
Place clear commands to the left of new item commands. Use clear if you are taking a destructive action on all possible items. Use the command label to be explicit about what the command will act on, such as "Clear selection."
For examples of command placement in the bottom app bar, see the Windows Store app gallery.
Grouping commands into menus
Sometimes it is more efficient to group multiple commands into a command menu. Menus let you present more options with less space. Menus can include interactive controls.
In this example, the sort command displays a simple menu that makes it easy for users to choose a sorting option. The filter command displays a set of controls in a menu that lets users filter items by more complex criteria.
Context menus
Context menus often contain clipboard actions, such as cut, copy, and paste. Context menus can also contain commands that apply to content that cannot be selected, such as an image on a web page. The system provides apps with default context menus for text and hyperlinks. For text, the default context menu shows the clipboard commands. For hyperlinks, the default menu shows commands to copy and to open the link.
Users invoke context menus by pressing and holding the content on touch devices, or right-clicking the content with a mouse.
Leverage the charms
When you design a Windows Store app, you get four very useful commands in the charms: search, share, devices, and settings. Users invoke the charms by swiping from the right edge of the screen or pointing the mouse cursor toward the top or bottom right corner of the screen.
|Search: Let your users quickly search your app's content from anywhere in the system, including from other apps.
|Share: Let your users share content from your app with other people or apps, and receive shared content.
|Start: The Start charm takes the user to the Start screen. Apps do not interact with this charm. The behavior is automatic and is always the same.
|Devices: Let your users enjoy audio, video, or images streamed from your app to other devices in their home network.
|Settings: Consolidate all of your settings under one roof and let users configure your app with common mechanism they're already be familiar with.
Avoid duplicating app contract functionality on your app's canvas or in the app bar.

A year ago Citrix was all about the cloud. Now, it would seem, Citrix is all about mobile. Citrix's Synergy 2013, held in Anaheim, CA, had an overarching theme of "enabling mobile workstyles." Is this change? Not really. It's more an exercise in connecting Citrix's consistent core theme to the hot trend du jour.
That core theme is sometimes referred to as the "three anys" – enabling access to computing for work or play anywhere, any time, on any device. It's a cloud strategy in that it involves abstracting as much as possible away from end point devices and delivering it as-a-service anywhere, any time, to any device. It also implicitly enables mobility. So adapt the message to what's hot. In 2013 mobility is the ticket.
In his Synergy keynote, Citrix CEO Mark Templeton identified several forces that are driving CIOs to adopt mobility in their organization. These include the rising level of consumerization – the fact that we are now living in a digital world. Everyone owns multiple devices and wants to use their devices to do their work.
We are entering the BYO-Everything era, he said. Enabling mobile workstyles will also become increasingly important as organizations look to recruit and retain younger generations, who have grown up digital. Enabling people to work when they want, where they want, and on the device of their choice also provides a work-around when disruptions occur, such as natural disasters that previously halted business.
From Cloud, to Personal Cloud, to Workforce Cloud
Info-Tech sees the intersection of as-a-service cloud computing and mobility in the concept of the personal cloud. All personal computing is moving beyond that of the singular PC to embracing cloud, virtualization, and mobility. Through management of corporate personal clouds, the enterprise will leverage this trend while allowing IT to maintain control and ensure the security of data.
Corporate personal clouds have three components:
- My work applications (through a corporate App Store)
- My work data (online file storage and synching)
- My information/my ID (secure access)
Citrix's mobile direction aligns well with this vision and covers all three components. During his keynote, Templeton addressed three major releases and updates – XenMobile, ShareFile, and XenDesktop 7.
With the new release of XenMobile, Citrix has enabled IT to deliver a corporate app store. XenMobile ships with a few basic productivity apps, including email and calendar. Additional apps can easily be added to the app store with WORX. WORX, previously called "At Work," now ships with SDX – a single line of code that can be added to any app to WORX enable it, meaning that the app will have defined policies and security placed around it.
Apps can also be added from WORX App Gallery, a repository for WORX enabled apps created by developers and other venders, which include box, Antenna, and Catch. Web, native, and desktop apps all work with XenMobile, and with the use of SSO and Micro VPN each app connects to the backend infrastructure in a secure way. As well, it can run in a secure sandbox, keeping it separate from personal data while accessing it via a mobile device. XenMobile also allows you to open a secure browser with WORX Web and documents are automatically synced across devices.
Citrix's ShareFile enables the sharing of documents across devices. With the use of StorageZones, data can be stored either on premise, in the cloud (which now includes integration with Azure cloud), or on an existing platform, such as SharePoint. End users are now able to access SharePoint through ShareFile, check out a document, access it through any device, and take advantage of the inherit features of the device. This includes the ability to sign a document when opening it as a PDF on an iPad, and another recently added feature is PDF modification – the ability to mark-up a PDF and send it back to its original location with the changes automatically captured and reflected across.
Enterprises can ensure that security is maintained by integrating with Active Directory or IAM using SAML. Remote wiping is also an available feature of ShareFile. Industries where Citrix has seen a lot of uptake with ShareShare include higher education, accounting, legal, and construction.
XenDesktop Adapts VDI to Mobile World
XenDesktop 7 is a reimagining of virtual desktops for mobile and cloud. Its release was also announced at Synergy. This is the first product that has been released in their Project Avalon Series. Citrix is indicating that XenDesktop 7 is much simpler to deploy, install, and manage – the installation process now is only one package to download, with automatic installation and deployment. Citrix states that with as few as eight clicks and 20 minutes you can go from scratch to being set up and running.
XenDesktop 7 only has two consoles: XenDesktop Studio for designing and building applications, and XenDesktop Director for monitoring and support. With XenDesktop 7, virtual desktops can be placed on any device, including the ability to run a Windows desktop on an Apple device, a feature that received one of the largest responses from the 6000+ audience during the keynote.
HDX Mobile was introduced as a means of improving the mobile experience of XenDesktop. HDX allows bandwidth to be reduced, delivering a better user experience to the end user due to protocol enhancements. This includes the ability to run high-definition video on any device, even over 3G networks and supports a 100% boost in WAN efficiency. HDX provides the end user with dynamic experiences, and supports the native features of the mobile device, including smooth scrolling, pop-up keyboard, and gesturing capabilities. A Mobile SDK is also newly available for Windows applications, improving the usability of windows apps on mobile devices.
Key to these new releases is centralized management, security, and flexibility, allowing end users the freedom to compute in a manner that works best for them. Ultimately, when it comes to mobility, user experience is paramount. Mobility is not about the devices, it's about providing end users with a great user experience so that they adopt the new way of computing and don't feel that they are giving up something in the process. However, it also must be about allowing IT to maintain a secure environment. Citrix has shown itself as a leader in this respect.
At the same time, adopting mobile workstyles is not without challenges. Connectivity may become a greater issue moving forward, as it is great to be able to work where you want, but without a connection, you're essentially dead in the water. In moving to the mobile and cloud era, the role of IT shifts and now is becoming ITaaS. While this has been put forth as a positive in that it will remove repetitive, mundane tasks from IT's responsibility which will increase job satisfaction and work-life balance for IT, it also has the potential for job loss – a scary reality.
Who's Ready for Mobile Workstyles?
Finally, we need to ask – is the workforce ready to go mobile? Today, and I would postulate, for the next 5-10 years, for most organizations the answer is no. Although the desire to recruit younger employees entering the job market is important, in many industries the majority of the workforce remains older and the proper adoption of the mobile workstyle is often a greater challenge for these individuals.
As one Systems Engineer at a financial company indicated, even though they have currently enabled ShareFile for secure document sharing, many members of their older workforce still prefer using email attachments as the primary way to share files, because this is the way they have always done it and it's the way in which they are comfortable working, regardless of the fact that it's not secure. As a result, the adoption of Citrix's new technology and mobile computing is making slow progress in their organization. Thus, when enabling mobile workstyles, organizations must also be prepared with strategies to support end users and improve adoption of the new workstyle.
Citrix may be ahead of its time, but there is a lot of power in the "any" mindset. Making the move to supporting mobile workstyles will result in workforce transformation, reinvention, and increased engagement, but can only evolve to this state gradually, over time.

Housing Safety
Below are some general tips to keep your residence secure while you are home and away. You can find more information from the University Police.
General Housing Safety
- Always lock your door and avoid dead-bolting it open, even for a few minutes.
- Use the peep hole - make sure you know who is at the door before you open it.
- Immediately report suspicious activity to University Police.
- Report any broken windows, window screens, door latches or lights that aren't functioning to landlord so repairs can be made in a timely fashion.
- Require identification and authorization from all service people.
- Make sure all smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors work properly.
- Report ANY suspicious activity to Police (NUPD 847-491-3456 or 911). This is your neighborhood and you have a sense of who generally belongs there. Do not hesitate to call to help protect yourself and your neighbors.
Neighborhood Crime
CrimeReports.com has partnered with Evanston City Officials to provide NU students, residents and businesses a service to enter an address and see when and where crimes occurred in that neighborhood.
Vacation Safety and Security
- Make sure you secure or remove all valuables (i.e. jewelry, computers, television sets, etc.).
- Unplug power strips and make sure stoves and other appliances are turned off.
- Before leaving, close and lock all windows, close all shades / drapes and lock and bolt entrance door(s).
- Ask a trusted neighbor to keep an eye on your place and pick up your mail, newspaper and packages while you are away; or contact the postal service to hold your mail. Accumulation of these items are a sign you are away.
Renter's Insurance
Some students can be covered under their family member's homeowners' insurance policy for a small additional fee. Before purchasing Renter's Insurance, talk with your family to see if this is an option for you.

CHARLOTTE – The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time record Tuesday, closing at 14,254 points, erasing losses during the Great Recession.
Just minutes after the opening bell on Wall Street, the Dow surged past the previous record of 14,164.
"It's good news. I mean obviously it's good news," said John Connaughton, an economist at UNC Charlotte.
He said the market is doing well in spite of mandatory federal government spending cuts that began last Friday.
"I think most of the American public as well as most American investors look at that as a circus sideshow."
The last time stocks traded at this level was on Oct. 9, 2007 before a devastating recession.
"What happened to us over the last several years was really, truly terrifying for a lot of people," said Diane Willis, a certified financial planner with Wilshire Financial.
Since then, the recovery has been shaky.
"More people are starting to finally take what was on the sidelines and they're starting to finally get back into the stock market," Willis said.
But the Census Bureau reports median family income is eight percent lower than the last time the Dow hit record heights.
"What we're seeing at the corporate level is companies having figured out how to make money and provide returns to investors in this economic environment," Connaughton said.
Optimism about the Chinese and European economies powered Tuesday's surge.
"What's going on in the stock market is measuring something completely different from what's going on in the economy and what's happening to the average family," said Connaughton.
Willis said the average family shouldn't have a knee-jerk reaction to the market.
"It's not a reason to say now is the time to do something in particular. We need to take a longer term perspective on it."

(AP) - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that at least 52 workers are taking antibiotics as a precaution because of a lab safety problem that may have accidentally exposed them to anthrax.
So far, the CDC's occupational health clinic has seen 54 out of 86 potentially exposed employees. Only two have refused antibiotic treatment, which can cut the chances of infection after exposure to the germ. The CDC says 27 of them also began receiving an anthrax vaccine.
The safety lapse occurred when a high level biosecurity lab failed to completely inactivate anthrax samples sent to less secure labs for further research. The problem was discovered last Friday and CDC revealed it on Thursday.

Published November 11, 2013
It's well known that water has been key to the shale oil and gas rush in the United States. But in one center of the hydraulic fracturing boom—North Dakota—authorities are finding that the initial blast of water to frack the wells is only the beginning.
The wells being drilled into the prairie to tap into the Bakken shale need "maintenance water"—lots of it—to keep the oil flowing. (See related photos: "Bakken Shale Boom Transforms North Dakota.")
So while the water first pumped down the hole to crack rock formations and release the underground oil and natural gas typically totals 2 million gallons (7.5 million liters) per well, each of North Dakota's wells is daily drinking down an average of more than 600 gallons (2,300 liters) in maintenance water, according to recent calculations by North Dakota's Department of Mineral Resources (DMR). (See related quiz: "What You Don't Know About Water and Energy.")
Without water, salt buildup forms and restricts the flow of oil.
Over the life of the well, which authorities presume will be 30 to 40 years, maintenance water needs could add up to 6.6 million to 8.8 million gallons (25 to 33.3 million liters)—or more than three to four times the water required for the initial fracking. (See related story: "Water Demand for Energy to Double by 2035.")
North Dakota DMR Director Lynn Helms addressed the maintenance water issue in a taped address earlier this fall at the annual meeting of the North Dakota Association of Oil and Gas Producing Counties. "What we're beginning to realize is that these . . . wells will need freshwater for maintenance over their life," Helms was quoted as saying in a report on the presentation in the local newspaper, the Dickinson Press.
Helms declined a request for an interview, but DMR geologist Richard Suggs confirmed that the department's calculations show that each well, over its 30- to 40-year lifespan, might end up consuming even more water for maintenance than for the fracking process originally used to create it.
Licking Salt
Why do North Dakota's wells have such a difficult-to-quench thirst? The naturally high salinity of the Bakken play's groundwater is the reason, according to Suggs.
"As they're producing the oil, they're also bringing up that water," Suggs said. "The salt precipitates in the well bore. It can restrict the flow of oil, and cause the pumping equipment to have problems as well."
That salt has to be flushed out by pumping fresh water down into the well bore, and then sucking it back up through the same tubing normally used for oil. "The salt basically dissolves in the water, the way a spoonful of table salt would in a glass of water," Suggs said.
The implications for water demand are significant in a state that gets less than 13 inches of rainfall each year in its driest areas, and ranks among the bottom 10 states for precipitation. In 2012, the Bakken oil industry used about 5.5 billion gallons (209 billion liters) of water—more than the amount used by the 110,000 inhabitants of Fargo, the state's biggest city. When the Bakken is fully developed in the next 10 to 20 years, the oil and gas play's 40,000 to 45,000 wells may need to consume roughly double that amount—as much as 10.2 billion gallons per year (28 million gallons each day)-in maintenance water to keep the oil flowing, according to a July 2013 DMR presentation to the North Dakota legislature. (See related story: "Oil Train Revival: North Dakota Relies on Rail to Deliver Its Crude.")
Recycling's Limits
One way to cut down on oil and gas industry water demand in North Dakota would be to recycle and reuse water from the fracking process. But that won't help in well maintenance. Water that's been used for fracking already has picked up too much salt from the underground geological formation to be used for flushing the wells of salt build-up, according to Suggs.
Instead, only freshwater—treated with a biocide to kill bacteria that might harm the oil deposit—can be used. After the maintenance water is withdrawn from the wells, it can then be recycled and used in the initial fracking of another well, or else disposed of in an underground saltwater storage facility.
Helms addressed recycling in his speech to the oil-producing counties group in September: "We're in the process of trying to find a way to recycle . . . produced water safely so that we can use produced water for fracking and save our freshwater resources for maintenance," Helms said, according to the Dickinson Press report.
The need for large amounts of maintenance water seems to be a unique problem in the Bakken play. Both energy industry and environmental groups contacted by National Geographic News said they had not even heard of the practice before. "I'm not familiar with it, and I've worked in different areas," said Andrew Patterson, executive vice president of technical and regulatory affairs for the Marcellus Coalition, a Pittsburgh-based group representing oil and natural gas companies active in developing Pennsylvania's Marcellus shale. "I'm pretty confident that it's not something that you would see in the Marcellus [play]. The brine in the Marcellus is not causing major [salt] precipitation." (See related blog post: "Fracking Water: It's Just So Hard to Clean.")
In North Dakota, Suggs said that the future price and availability of fresh water may well determine how long wells remain economical to operate. "If water becomes too expensive, that might potentially decrease the life of the well," he said.
The future price of water in North Dakota will depend on a number of factors beyond oil and gas industry demand, and the so-far much greater demand of the state's mainstay agricultural industry. North Dakota has a robust industry of private water suppliers who have developed a lucrative business selling water to the fracking industry. These private suppliers raised objections to a state government-backed co-op, the Western Area Water Supply Project, which is building $110 million pipeline, treatment facilities and water depots to boost northwestern North Dakota supplies with water taken from the Missouri River, which flows through the state.
One of the rationales for the project to bring fresh surface water to the region was the health risks of drinking water drawn from the state's groundwater, with its high sodium content. But the government-supported co-op also plans to sell about 20 percent of its water to the fracking industry, which will help keep prices low (and create competition for the private water suppliers).
Steve Mortensen, chairman of the North Dakota Independent Water Providers, the confederation of ranchers and farmers who are private water suppliers, said water availability isn't a problem in the state. "We have plenty of water to serve the industry," he said. "If anything, our business is more threatened by the new technology to reuse water for fracking." Mortensen said the Missouri River has the potential to provide vastly more water than oil drillers would ever need.
But not everyone agrees. Derrick Braaten, a Bismarck attorney who represents farmers and ranchers who are water buyers, said that many in the agriculture sector are worried about whether North Dakota's water supply will accommodate the growing demand. "There's concern about whether we are depleting the aquifers faster than they're going to be able to replenish," he said. (See related quiz: "What You Don't Know About Food, Water, and Energy.")

I lived in New Town of North Dakota and I didn't know they used water.... the heck?
Its time to evolve and move away from petrol and into new relms of energy and fuel…One should ask? How is it computer technolgy and other technolgies have evolved so rapid but the standard autos are still restricted to 20 mpg… HELLO Were slaves to this industry so nothing will ever add up even if the numbers look good on paper
The average family of 4 uses 400g of water per day, so per well that's like adding 2 households to the state in place of a well. Florida adds 250 households PER-DAY to it's state population. So what's the big deal? I think North Dakota can handle it.
It's ironical that in this huge instance the ability to produce oil depends upon reducing the most important, yet under appreciated commodity of all, water. No matter what the oil industry does to produce more oil there are always huge consequences that are connected. Take a long look at the picture appearing with this article. The oil infrastructure surrounded by puddled water is an ugly thing to behold. Yet it is part of an otherwise majestic landscape. Oil is raping our planet. We are now in the midst of a horrific climate change of weather instability. Smart people are now securing their homes using hurricane clamps and fasteners to hold roofs and and exterior walls in place. Those willing to spend extra on roofing are shingling with steel. Whats happening in the Philippines is the tip of the iceberg regarding what's coming our way.
Instead of flaring the associated natural gas that they are producing it now, they should use it to power a desalination/purification plant to recycle the produced formation brine. This would raise the operating costs somewhat, but it should be feasible.
Ranchers and Farmers that believe that availability of water isn't a problem? Wonder if they will think it's a problem when that salty water starts leeching up into THEIR groundwater....how's the crops and cows gonna like that....
sounds like they will have a problem when the gas dries up!
As Bakken or any other shale oil well depletes at 47% per year, a well of a start up of 1,000 bpd, 60 months later is producing 42 bpd and is therefore of little or no value to the producer. The "normal" startup volume is 100 bpd so the financial math makes no sense. Your well life estimate of 30 to 40 years is erroneous as will be the associated water requirements.
Best news I've heard in a while.
@chuck strickland The difference is reusability of the water. When a family uses water, that water returns to the freshwater supply, available for someone else to use. When water is used to frack, it comes up 5+ times saltier than the ocean, and it cannot be added back into the freshwater supply. If you do put it back into that supply, it fouls many many times its own volume.
So, tracking water is removed from the potable water supply forever, irreplaceably.

@Earl Padfield Don't you mean "fleasable"?
That's not my estimate--a ND state department of mineral resources geologist cited that number. The North Dakota Petroleum Council also predicts a 30-year lifespan. http://www.ndoil.org/?id=78&advancedmode=1&category=Bakken+Basics
@Roger McKnight You're right. After almost 10 years of shale development, state and industry data show that shale wells have a 5-6 year lifetime. Not 30 or 100.

The New Mexico Corrections Department is moving forward with the purchase of the Plaza Maya building in downtown Albuquerque, but there is a group right across the street still pushing to stop that.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 has been following the story since April 2013. NMCD wanted to buy the building for their probation and parole office, but after several complaints from YDI, YMCA, and the New Mexico Extreme Sports Association who hold after school programs for kids, NMCD says they plan to solely use the building now for administrative offices. That means probationers would go to their Gold and Broadway office and they would close down their Monte Vista office.
The State goes before a board in two weeks to get the purchase approved. But the attorney for the teen organizations says they are still trying to negotiate with NMCD to choose another location or make a promise the Plaza Maya building will never be used as a probation and parole office.
"We have certain things in the works. I would rather not disclose it, but yes we have certain things that we intend to do should things start moving forward," attorney Arlyn Crow said. "We haven't had a strong confirmation from the State that they are only going to use that building for admin. now and in the future."
The meeting to approve the $1.77 million dollar purchase of the Plaza Maya building is set for January 22nd in Santa Fe.

Our auto electrical repair and maintenance services include:

Transmission Services
Automatic Transmission
Automatic Transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and changes gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up, and you need to have any automatic transmission issues properly assessed by auto mechanics. Call 386-615-0036 to talk to the mechanics of AA Accurate Truck & Tire Repair about your transmission problems.
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact AA Accurate Truck & Tire Repair to see if clutch replacement is necessary.
Four-wheel drive Transmission
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us on 1644 North US 1 for service on your four-wheel drive transmission services.
Front-wheel drive Transmission
If your vehicle has Front-wheel drive, the engine drives the front wheels only. The power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and additional hardware is all located in the front of the car. If you are in need, AA Accurate Truck & Tire Repair of Ormond Beach, FL will gladly repair front-wheel drive transmission vehicles.
Manual Transmission
Driving a vehicle with a Manual Transmission requires using the clutch pedal and gear shift to manually shift gears based on the speed of the vehicle. Manual transmissions have been built with anywhere from two to eight gears. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the two main configurations for manual transmissions. Typically, manual transmissions require less maintenance then automatic transmissions. At AA Accurate Truck & Tire Repair, our auto mechanics can diagnose your vehicle and then recommend the transmission repair or transmission service you need to ensure safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.

Johan Sebastian Welhaven
Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven (22 December 1807 – 21 October 1873) was a Norwegian author, poet, critic and art theorist.[1]
Johan Welhaven was born in Bergen, Norway in 1807. His grandfather, Johan Andrew Welhaven (1748–1811) was a teacher and later assistant to the pastor at St Mary's Church (Mariakirken), which served the city's German community. The author's father, Johan Ernst Welhaven (1775–1828), was a pastor at St. George's Hospital, (St. Jørgens spedalskehospital), while his mother, Else Margaret Cammermeyer, was the daughter of Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer, resident chaplain of The Cross Church (Korskirken).[2]
Johan Welhaven was the member of an accomplished family which included his sister socialite Maren Sars, the wife of theologian and biologist Michael Sars (1805–1869), and mother of historian, Ernst Sars (1835–1917), marine biologist Georg Ossian Sars (1837–1927) and mezzosoprano singer Eva Nansen (1858–1907). Johan Welhaven was himself the father of Norwegian architect Hjalmar Welhaven.
Welhaven attended Bergen Cathedral School from 1817-25. He first studied theology. However, after his final exams at the University of Christiania in 1827, he devoted himself to literature. In 1836 he had visited France and Germany; and in 1858 he went to Italy to study archaeology.
In 1840, he was appointed lecturer in philosophy at the Royal Frederik's University in Christiania and delivered a series of lectures on literary subjects. He was employed in 1843 and became professor in 1846. Welhaven spent 26 years lecturing in philosophy at the University from 1840 to 1866. His influence was extended by his appointment as director of the Society of Arts.[3] He died in Christiania in 1873.
Welhaven made his name as a representative of conservatism in Norwegian literature in the 19th century. As shown by an attack on Henrik Wergeland's poetry, he opposed the theories of the extreme nationalists. He desired to see Norwegian culture brought into line with that of other European countries, and he himself followed the romantic tradition, being influenced by J.L. Heiberg. He is known for his feud with Wergeland and for the poem Republikanerne ("The Republicans"). Welhaven was also romantically involved with Wergeland's younger sister Camilla Collett.[4]
He gave an exposition of his aesthetic creed in the 1834 sonnet cycle Norges Dæmring ("The Dawn of Norway"). He published a volume of Digte ("Poems") in 1839; and in 1845 Nyere Digte ("Newer Poems"). Other poems followed in 1848, 1851 and 1859.[5]
In the 1840s, Welhaven was a figure of the Norwegian national romanticism movement.[6] Welhaven helped in beginning the career of Hans Gude — a romanticist painter — as it was Welhaven who first recommended that Gude should attend the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf.[7]

PITTSBURGH Global Recycling Inc. has ceased operations and plans to liquidate following a failed attempt to merge with another company.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based company, which has nearly $3 million in debt, bypassed the traditional Chapter 7 proceedings under U.S. Bankruptcy Code and has opted to wind down its operations in a Delaware chancery court.
The state-level dissolution, known as assignment for the benefit of creditors, is faster and more cost effective than a federal filing, Stewart F. Grossman, an attorney at Bostons Looney & Grossman LLP, told AMM. The state proceeding takes about six months, while federal filings can take 18 months.
Grossman has been appointed as the assignee in the case, and company president Steven Gilbert signed the documents. Gilberts other business, Charlotte-based retail yard Gilbert Iron & Steel, is a separate entity from Global and was not affected by the filing. That operation remains open.
A spokesman for Global Recycling said the company cant comment, as the matter is now in the hands of the court. The company reported liabilities of $2.9 million, but the asset value of cash on hand, receivables and equipment is still being tallied.
Global Recycling, which had been exporting copper-bearing electric motor scrap to Asia since 2004, was hit by the 2008 financial crisis, Grossman said in a letter to investors.
Global attempted to merge with unnamed Asian investors with a Midwest presence, but the deal didnt come to fruition, according to the letter. The recycler then attempted to have vendors extend its payment terms while it sought new lenders, but no money became available.
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Are you stocking more inventory today than 18 months ago?

Check your owner's manual for the proper gas-to-oil mixture. For almost all modern two-stroke engines, a 50-to-1 mixture is recommended. This leaner mixture is possible due to improvements in the quality of modern mix oil. That requires about 2 1/2 oz. of oil for every gallon of gasoline.
