User:Atcovi/2nd Chapter/About the Ozone Layer
About the Ozone Layer What is the Ozone Layer? How is the Ozone Layer useful? Will the Ozone Layer be destroyed? How can we survive the disaster? |
This presentation will teach about the Ozone Layer and it's property and characteristics. The following questions are going to be answered in this presentation. Want more information? Just add a Question below and the answer will be answered!
- What is the Ozone Layer?
- Where is the Ozone Layer?
- How is the Ozone Layer useful?
- Will the Ozone Layer be destroyed?
- How can we survive the disaster?
What is the Ozone Layer?[edit]
The Ozone Layer protects life on Earth from harmful UV rays, but due to human actives, the shield (Ozone Layer) has been damaged. Less protection from the UV rays will overtime, lead to higher skin cancer, cataract rates and crop damage. The U.S., in cooperation with around 200 countries, is is phasing out the production of ozone-depleting substances in an effort to protect the ozone layer.
Where is the Ozone Layer?[edit]
The Ozone is a natural gas that is found in two different layers of the atmosphere. One layer, called the troposphere, is at the Earth's surface, where we live! The Ozone in the troposphere is "bad" because it dirties the air and helps make smog.
What does the Ozone Layer do?[edit]
Its literally a shield of Earth (for an idea), it protects dwelling life on Earth. The Ozone Layer absorbs UV rays from our sun.
How is the Ozone Layer useful?[edit]
The Ozone Layer is very useful, if the Ozone Layer wasn't here, we would be scorched to death! The Ozone Layer protects us, protects us from the Sun's very harmful UV rays. People are now more concerned in the Ozone Layer.
How was the Ozone Layer made?[edit]
Relatively high concentration of the atom, Ozone. The Ozone Layer absorbs 93-99% of the sun's UV light, the UV lights are harmful to life on Earth.
Will the Ozone Layer be destroyed?[edit]
The Ozone Layer was destroyed a few years back. But due to the ban of using chloroflourocarbons, the Ozone Layer is recovering. So basically, No. Many people are doing nearly everything to recover the Ozone Layer. People are now more concerned about the Ozone Layer than they used to a few centuries back.
What can we do to survive?[edit]
Even minor problems of ozone depletion can have major effects. Every time even a small amount of the ozone layer is lost, more ultraviolet light from the sun can reach the Earth.
Every time 1% of the ozone layer is depleted, 2% more UV-B is able to reach the surface of the planet. UV-B increase is one of the most harmful consequences of ozone depletion because it can cause skin cancer.
The increased cancer levels caused by exposure to this ultraviolet light could be enormous. The EPA estimates that 60 million Americans born by the year 2075 will get skin cancer because of ozone depletion. About one million of these people will die.
In addition to cancer, some research shows that a decreased ozone layer will increase rates of malaria and other infectious diseases. According to the EPA, 17 million more cases of cataracts can also be expected.
The environment will also be negatively affected by ozone depletion. The life cycles of plants will change, disrupting the food chain. Effects on animals will also be severe, and are very difficult to foresee.
Oceans will be hit hard as well. The most basic microscopic organisms such as plankton may not be able to survive. If that happened, it would mean that all of the other animals that are above plankton in the food chain would also die out. Other ecosystems such as forests and deserts will also be harmed.
This is just talking about the ozone layer getting thinner. I am not sure how bad it would get if the ozone layer were completely gone. It sounds like it would be catastrophic. Would we all die? I can't say, but we might suffer famine and shortened life spans at the least.

May/summer term tuition payment schedule
On-Campus Housing Move-Out
Spring semester finals end on May 17, but it's a good idea to plan ahead for moving students out of the residence halls and on-campus apartments. The move-out itself tends not to be as hectic as move-in days in the fall. Students leave throughout the week of finals, after they finish their exams, so the activity is spread out through the week.
Please note that parking restrictions are enforced in the areas around the residence halls/apartments during move-out. Also please keep in mind that entry through side or rear doors of the residence halls/apartments is prohibited. As the number of students in the halls/apartments declines throughout the week, safety precautions are all the more important.
As you're talking with your student about plans for moving out, here are tips and procedures:
- There seems to be a trend that if a student's belongings filled one car at the beginning of the year, it will take three carloads to move everything home at the end of the year. If your student is coming home for a visit between now and the end of the semester, encourage him or her to bring things home that are no longer needed. Recycling bins are available to recycle a wide variety of household items. Trash areas are designated to discard anything the students want to get rid of.
- During the last two weeks of April, CAs (Community Advisers) typically do pre-inspection room/apartment visits with residents to help them know what to expect during move-out.
- Lofts and bunks are to be left up in the room. They will be taken down after students vacate the residence halls.
- Refrigerators rented through Collegiate Services (also known as Bedloft.com) will be picked up on May 9. The company will notify residents in each building about specific pick-up times.
- The weekend before finals begin, residence halls/apartments will start "22-hour quiet hours." The two-hour courtesy hours are usually 5-7 p.m.
- Residence hall students are not required to leave until Saturday, May 17, but they are strongly encouraged to leave after their last final is over.
- If your student lives in a University apartment, and they are on a 9 1/2- or 11 1/2-month contract, their move out dates are different. They have received information regarding move-out from Housing & Residential Life.
- Many students search out their own study spot during finals week and spend all their time in that one place. It might be a library, an empty classroom, a coffeeshop, or their residence hall room or apartment. Some students in the seven-county Metro area decide to go home before finals in order to study in their own bedroom. The important thing is that they are comfortable and can concentrate.
- Parents often call during the spring to ask for recommendations on storage companies near campus. We cannot recommend one business over another, but we can give you the names of some facilities near campus. Note: Storage companies who provide delivered container services are not allowed on campus due to restrictions with parking. When calling for information about storage space, you'll want to ask about small storage compartments, month-by-month rentals, and current discount options. Companies near campus include:
- Minikahda
www.minikahda.com - Simply Self Storage
- Minikahda
- All rooms are subject to a final room inspection by full-time staff during the week after students move out. Final damage charges are assessed by these staff members. (CAs do the preliminary inspection and do not assess charges.) Any residence hall damage charges will be assessed on the July bill. Apartment complex damage bills are assessed on the next possible University billing date after the end of the contract period.
Resources for Off-Campus Living
University Legal Sevices Tenant Resource Guide
Note: An attorney or paralegal at USLS will review leases with students and identify problem clauses. Encourage your student to check with USLS before signing a lease. To learn more or download a Tenant Resource Guide, see the USLS website.
Minneapolis housing inspections information.
Also see this online workshop that provides parents with information that may be helpful as students consider housing options for next year.
Finals can be a stressful time. To lessen the stress it helps to develop good study skills. See the University Counseling & Consulting Services website for some good information on study skills.
Spring Commencement
Commencement information is available from the Events Calendar website. You can also check out information on graduation ceremonies and traditions on the Parent website's graduation page.
Freshman orientation begins June 10. For transfer orientation dates and more information, go to the Orientation and First-Year Programs website.
The Orientation and First-Year Programs website links students with opportunities to find balance in their academic, co-curricular, and social life—all the way through graduation. The site features current and upcoming events for first-year students, first-year stories, advice from current students, ways to get involved, and more.

When I'm walking my dog on a city sidewalk and another person approaches with a dog, often they will cross the street. There is room to pass so I assume it's to keep the dogs from meeting. Do they think my dog will eat their dog? Do they think THEIR dog will bite my dog? Are they just being cautious? Am *I* supposed to cross the street? What's going on here? It is usually people with small dogs which makes me wonder if they're afraid or if they just don't trust their own dog. I did speak with one woman with a very large beautiful pit pull with sawed-off ears who said she always crossed because people were afraid of her dog (a perfectly well-behaved rescue dog). So am I supposed to cross the street if my dog is bigger? Or just let the dog walkers who are worried get outta my way? (My dog is enthusiastic about dogs but not aggressive and always on a very short leash and under control.) I try to be a good dog walker since I've despised dog walkers most of my life (it's the slobber and poop I hate--my dog touches no one unless they want it and he doesn't even get to pee on walks) but it almost seems unfriendly to jaywalk when you see someone coming. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I usually cross over because our sidewalk won't accommodate my two 25 pounds dogs and another person with their dog(s). If the dogs and I know the other person and their dog, we'll stay on our side. My dogs never bite but can be annoying when they bark. My Dachshund especially hates big black dogs, is okay with small ones. |
Is your dog obedience trained? Does he walk in the heel position? If he is out of control, others may want to avoid a possible situation. My old golden retriever was obedience trained but he loved people and always thought people existed for the purpose of petting him. Anytime we met another person or dog on our walk I had to get a firm grip and be extra firm with my voice. |

Unless I know the person and dog, I always get on the opposite side of the street. I have two small dogs and sometimes they get a little "huffy" and I don't want them to start something. I always assume the oncoming dog isn't friendly. Just being more cautious. When we get close, if the person indicates his/her dog is friendly, then I will let mine meet them. I just think it is better to be cautious if you don't know the oncoming dog. |
My dog is on a 3 foot leash, always at my side, and doesn't leave the sidewalk. I usually have him sit when we're passing people and he cooperates although he'd rather be friendly. He is pretty well trained except sometimes when he sees another dog he'll get down on his belly and look about as submissive and non-threatening as possible (this can be a little embarrassing). Otherwise he'll just perk up his ears and wag really hard. He's certainly better trained than most small dogs I see, but since he's barely a year old and still wants to be social I do tighten the leash when dogs or people are about. I assume people who cross to avoid us just don't want to deal with dog sniffing and whatnot and that's fine. I'm just wondering if it's expected for ME to cross. |

When I walk my dogs, I do cross the street away from the other dogs unless we know them. We had a bad problem with strays in our last neighborhood with a few attempts at attacking so now, our Tasha gets a bit tense when we see an unknown dog (yes, some of that may be me, it's an ongoing process, but several years ago my beagle and I were rushed by two untrained, un-neutered adolescent pits...we got out okay, but it was extremely unnerving). I always wave and say hello though. So for me, it's caution and avoiding any unwanted issues. Add to it that my sharpei is not super social, just think it's less stressful for everyone. |
I walk at least 3 shelties at once and they are usually well behaved. When they are on a leash they generally are submisive toward the other dog even if it is a very small dog or they ignore the other dog. Shelties are real snobs unless it is another one like them! If I think my dogs are going to react to who is coming I will cross or will ask, before getting close, if the other dog is going to have a problem. Sometimes it is just the person without a dog who doesn't like the dogs. If the other person with a dog knows their dog is unfriendly, they will cross. I'm not offended or anything as I'm sure there is a reason for crossing over. I have rarely if ever had an issue with another dog on a leash. Most of the time they just want to say hi with a sniff and then on our way. Good question. Thanks for asking. Ginny |
I cross the street because my two yappy little dogs act like nutcases when they're passing another dog. I'm working with them on it, but it helps if we keep our distance. If your dog is well-behaved, I see no reason why you need to cross the street to avoid anyone. |
Sounds like you're doing everything right. I wouldn't worry too much about it. As time passes and others realize your dog is well heeled, other dog walkers will eventually come around. |
Thanks all! I will assume they don't trust their own dogs then. :) I don't think this is something Miss Manners has addressed explicitly, but for a long time I couldn't abide dogs until I realized it was the people in charge that were bad so I try to keep my dog as inoffensive as possible. |
Bad assumption :) In my case, I cross the street if I see a dog and person I don't know. It's to protect my dogs. I find most dogs are not managed on lead, and I have particular caution around small dogs who tend to have the least training. I don't want my dogs to be 'rushed' by another dog, and I certainly don't want to hear 'MY DOG IS FRIENDLY' or "MY DOG LOVES BIG DOGS.' I also find that most dogs are not well socialized and many owners think greeting nose to nose is ok. It's not. Nose to nose impolite and threatening in the dog world. I've rarely met another dog on lead where the owner doesn't try to line up the noses instead of allowing side to side greetings. So no. I'm not worried about my dogs. I'm worried about yours. |
Fori ~ I agree with Cynthia in a way. Just to clarify what I said earlier,"If I think my dogs are going to react to who is coming I will cross or will ask, before getting close, if the other dog is going to have a problem", I meant if the other dog may not be very friendly towards other dogs.I think most people DO know how their dogs react to others on lead and I don't think it is often aggressive. I agree with Cynthia in that not every dog owner socializes their dogs and that most of those owners don't walk their dogs either. Small dogs often start trouble simply because their owners think they are cute little things when they fend off the much larger ones. IMO, that behavior is just bad manners and unnecessary, unacceptable behavior. In short, IMO, you are responsible for control over your dog and no one elses. Not everyone thinks or acts like you and that is theirs. Trust your instinct and assume only that everyone has the right to their own thoughts and actions. Enjoy your walks with your dog. It is very beneficial for you both. :) Ginny |

Respecting our own space and the space of another is not unfriendly, IMHO. Some people combine a treasured moment to be alone with walking their dog. Some are keeping a fast pace with their dog for a kind of exercise standard and don't want to break their pace by stopping. Some folks are just wanting their dog to have exercise and get home soon. Of course, some people have found that walking their dog has been a nice way to meet their neighbors. At the stage I am at with my doggie, I see meeting another person and dog on the way as a kind of challenge and brightens or clouds my/our day. We are still learning how to behave with others. Bless his heart. Also, a dog's body language will let me know if I want to turn around or cross a street (actually, I don't have another street to cross to). The person walking their dog will also show some body language. Sometimes I'll turn around just because I don't want to set off neighboring dogs to barking -- especially if the walk is very early morning or very late evening. Since I have to walk on a street (no sidewalk), I will walk my dog to the side of the road and wait for a car to pass before I proceed walking. I think that drivers on our semi-remote street appreciate this. At night I use a flashlight so we can be seen. |
So I'm being nice and walking in the street in front of one house because the homeowners are working in their yard when a nasty little chihuahua comes barreling out of the front door with the clear intention of tearing into my dopey pup. He changes his mind a foot from my dog's nose as his owners are yelling at each other and finally manage to grab him. Anyway, when a loose dog comes after you from his yard (with his people about) to greet/eat your dog, what do you do? I've always stopped so that people can collect their animal (they are always apologetic although it's always clear that they just made my dog's day), and except for this last incident, the dogs have always seemed friendly or at least non-threatening. My dog loooooves other dogs and was sitting in his happy play pose when the chihuahua came after him. He was very confused. Sheesh. Those people didn't apologize or even speak to me. I hope it's because they soiled themselves when their tiny dog tried to attack something that could have taken it out in one snap. |

By Krista Ciminera in Music on Apr 24, 2010
Friday is now twice as nice because MIA released a new track today called "Born Free." The sound is a slight departure from her earlier albums as it loses the drum-machine, beat produced sound, and instead opts for a punk-rock, fuzzed out riff and reverbed vocals. We love it!
M.I.A.- Born Free by FirstUp!
Her much awaited album is coming out June 29th of this year. This song will hold us over for a little while, but we'll be needing another MIA fix soon!

Six Columbia Faculty Members Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Six Columbia professors have been elected members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, joining some of the world's most accomplished leaders from academia, business, public affairs, the humanities and the arts in one of the nation's most prestigious honorary societies.
John Stratton Hawley, professor of religion at Barnard College, is an expert on the religious life of north India and on the literature that it has spawned in the course of the last 500 years. Most of the 15 books he has written or edited concern Hinduism and the religions of India. His current major project—a book called India's Real Religion: The Idea of the Bhakti Movement—is devoted to deconstructing and reconstructing one of the principal ways in which Indians have told their religious history. A member of Barnard's faculty since 1986, he was director of Columbia's South Asia Institute and has received awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Smithsonian, and the American Institute of Indian Studies. He has also been a Guggenheim Fellow.
Donald C. Hood, the James F. Bender professor of psychology and ophthalmic science, is an expert on visual perception and processing. His lab studies the vision of both healthy individuals and those with diseases of the retina and the ganglion cell/optic nerve. Among the courses he teaches are "Issues in Brain and Behavior" and the "Frontiers of Science" course that is part of the Core Curriculum.
John D. Huber is a professor of political science and chair of the political science department. His teaching and research focus on the comparative study of democratic processes and he has written extensively on legislative organization, representation, bureaucracy and ethnic politics, among other topics. He is the author, with Charles R. Shipan, of Deliberate Discretion? Institutional Foundations of Bureaucratic Autonomy, which was honored by the comparative politics section of the American Political Science Association as the best book in comparative politics in 2002.
Hervé Jacquet, professor emeritus of mathematics, is a leader in the field of representation theory and automorphic functions and his research plays a central role in modern number theory. He earned his Ph.D. from the prestigious École Normale Supérieure in Paris and joined the Columbia faculty in 1974. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society and a corresponding member of the Académie des Sciences.
Duong H. Phong, professor of mathematics and director of graduate studies in the department of mathematics, is an expert in complex geometry and analysis as well as mathematical physics. He earned his Ph.D. from Princeton. The American Mathematical Society is hosting a conference in Phong's honor this month.
Barbara G. Tversky, professor of psychology and education at Teachers College, is an internationally recognized cognitive psychologist whose expertise includes spatial language and thinking, event perception and cognition, and gesture. She teaches courses in spatial thinking, including its relation to language and math, cognitive psychology, and visual communication. She has helped create a growing field that posits that physical gesture corresponds with and can enhance different kinds of thought processes.
Since its founding in 1780, the American Academy Arts and Sciences has elected leading "thinkers and doers" from each generation, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the 19th, and Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill in the 20th. The current membership includes more than 250 Nobel laureates and more than 60 Pulitzer Prize winners.
"Election to the Academy honors individual accomplishment and calls upon members to serve the public good," said Academy President Leslie C. Berlowitz. "We look forward to drawing on the knowledge and expertise of these distinguished men and women to advance solutions to the pressing policy challenges of the day."
The six Columbians will be among 198 new members inducted at a ceremony on October 12, 2013, at the Academy's headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The new Gillette ad campaign takes a different approach from their usual one. Instead of using the male-centric approach and promoting the razor's practical and easy-to-use aspects, this time they have decided to focus on the razor's ability to customize their looks according to women's preferences.
The commercial features three different ladies who state the kinds of men they prefer in terms of how much hair they have and where. While one of them says that she is into men with hair anywhere but their back, another one says that prefers the look of a man with no hair at all.
The idea behind the ad campaign is a catchy one for all gentleman who like to please the ladies with their looks.

Developer Edition Question
I'm looking to pick up a razr m at full price, so I might as well buy the developer edition from motorola. On their site, they mention that if you decide to unlock the bootloader, the following will occurr:
■You will lose all media and content on your device and will need to reinstall all applications downloaded from Google Play.
■You will not be able to watch any movies you downloaded.
■Applications may not work anymore.
■You may lose encryption support.
■You may lose some key functions like telephone, radio, and audio playback.
■You could cause permanent/physical damage to your device.
■Unlocking your bootloader will not change your device subsidy lock status
Why would I no longer be able to watch any movies that I downloaded? This seems a bit strange.
Thanks -

Photo of the Week: Greening Mozambique
April 02, 2014
An environmentally and economically sustainable agroforestry program is catalyzing rural development in Mozambique.
Workers at a tree nursery in Mozambique's Niassa Province tend pine seedlings destined for abandoned and degraded farmlands in the region. Once planted, these trees will help rehabilitate the soil while signaling a new future for rural communities.
Through the Agro-Forestry Village Program, TechnoServe is working to develop a plantation forestry industry in Mozambique that promotes sustainable land use, improved agricultural practices and rural economic development. The growing industry is attracting new investments and generating thousands of wage-paying jobs, both on forestry plantations and in new small businesses that are cropping up to support the sector
Adopting an integrated approach, the Agro-Forestry Village Program is also helping farmers in the targeted regions transition from subsistence to commercially-oriented agriculture. With support from the U.S. Department for Agriculture under Food for Progress, the program aims to break the cycle of poverty for 60,000 workers, farmers and their family members.

Alternative Spring Break with American Jewish World Service
Nine students and 1 staff member traveled to the Mayan community of Muchucuxcah, Mexico as part of the American Jewish World Service's (AJWS) Alternative Spring Break service-learning program. From March 13-20, 2011, participants volunteered with an AJWS grassroots partner, local NGO Hombre Sobre La Tierra (HST - Humankind on Earth), and explored the relationship between social justice, service and Judaism.
Participants worked side-by-side with community members on projects that helped build infrastructure and sustainability in the community. As an integral part of the experience, the group gathered each day to study social justice and international development-related topics through a Jewish lens. Participants also planned a meaningful Shabbat that highlighted the challenges and rewards of pluralistic Jewish communities.

An unmanned Northrop Grumman RQ-4 broad area maritime surveillance demonstrator (BAMS-D) that belongs to the US Navy has crashed in Salisbury, Maryland, 35km (22 miles) from the Navy's primary flight test base at Naval Air Station Patuxent River.
"The operator lost contact with the aircraft, and shortly after a manned aircraft in the area confirmed that aircraft was down," says the Navy. The aircraft was reportedly on a routine training flight, but the Navy could not immediately provide further details.
The aircraft was one of five converted from US Air Force (USAF) RQ-4 Global Hawk Block 10s to demonstrate technologies for a similar production model, Several Global Hawks and derivatives have crashed since the type's debut. The latest incident, caused by a loose connecter, occurred on 20 August, 2011 in Afghanistan. Three of the remaining BAMS-D aircraft are at Patuxent River, while one is deployed to the Middle East.
"Northrop Grumman is working closely with the U.S. Navy to determine the cause of the incident near Naval Air Station Patuxent River," says the manufacturer. "The Navy is conducting an investigation into the incident and Northrop Grumman cannot provide further information at this time."
The Navy has 68 production MQ-4Cs on order, the first of which will be formally unveiled on 14 June.

What Fracking Means To One North Dakota Community
Published: April 1, 2014Fracking is a dirty business. To some, it's a dirty word.
In 2012, Bill Gibson went to western North Dakota to research an article for Earth Island Journal. He saw what effect fracking—the fracturing of rock underground by a pressurized liquid—could have on a community, finding it has taken a personal toll on many.
"Above ground, people's lives are being irrevocably harmed," said Gibson, a professor of sociology at CSULB. "It is unlikely this will change in the next 10-20 years. What will happen after the oil and gas are gone can't be totally determined, but right now, the rate of destruction is extremely high."
The most obvious and visible assault on North Dakota's Bakken Shale Territory are the oil well rigs—lots of them. They began appearing in 2006, and within a few years dominated the farming landscape. The industry plan is to go from 15,000 wells to roughly 50,000 during the next 15 years, according to Gibson. He thinks even that might be a conservative estimate.
"The people of western North Dakota are not uniformly opposed to the oil and gas industry," said Gibson, "but they're very much again the lack of accountability. And they stand very much against the speed and intensity of what is happening. The figure I heard is that this should be done over 100 years, instead of 15."
According to a U.S. Geological Survey, the territory has a reservoir of up to 4 billion barrels of recoverable oil that would put it on par with Alaska's North Slope. In 2012, North Dakota was producing about 660,000 barrels of oil a day, making it the second largest oil producing state behind Texas.
Another discernable sign of the industry's presence are the trucks—lots of trucks, which can no way, no how go unnoticed. At approximately 1,000 truck trips per well, Gibson estimates that amounts to about 35 million trips over a 30-year period. With tractor-trailer rigs going up to 80 miles per hour, non-stop, 24 hours a day in many areas the impact on the roads is simply overbearing.
"The plan creates such intense land use that they will destroy everything well before they get to 50,000 wells," said Gibson. "I'm just not sure the region can withstand it."
When it comes to fracking, according to Gibson, the conventional thought is that building more wells is better than conventional coal mining and burning coal.
"In some ways yes, but it's not a night-and-day contrast," he said. "The entire natural gas infrastructure of wells and pipelines is so poorly constructed that it leaks massively. Methane is a green house gas 22 times more potent than carbon dioxide. On the ground this agrarian area has been turned into an industrial site. Thousands of trucks kick up massive amounts of dust, which is harmful to the people. And then the cattle have started coming down with what's called 'dust phenomena,' where their lungs clog up with dust thrown up by the trucks, and they die.
"The trucks slow down on the side roads," added Gibson, "but those roads are made of scoria, and it has a red dust. So as all these trucks go up and down these red pumice roads they crush that rock even more and send up continuous clouds of dust. When I talked to the people who lived out there, they said if you were on a rural route and had a mailbox on the side of the road it was usually full of this dust."
Gibson said the intense dust combined with the non-stop truck traffic creates dangerous driving conditions for community members.
"I talked to a woman rancher about how she got on the road one day and the dust cloud was so thick she had to stop because there was zero visibility," he said. "When the dust lifted enough so she could see, a tractor-trailer was right on top of her and it pulled off at the last moment. People get killed with great regularity.
"And people told me that social life in the surrounding areas had deteriorated because it was just too dangerous to drive to town on a Friday or Saturday night," added Gibson, "that simply traffic was so bad people didn't want to risk getting out on the highway."
The traffic scenario wasn't just hearsay for Gibson as he himself experienced the hazards of traversing those same roads first-hand.
"The driving was frightening, absolutely frightening," he said. "I had to be hyper alert. It was frightening on the state highways because the speed was so great and on the county roads there was a lot of truck traffic, and those truck tires pick up rocks and throw them. People kept telling me they lost windshields routinely. They got the rear windshield on my rental car."
And a nighttime drive through the area can be even more treacherous simply because it can get so very dark, said Gibson. The western North Dakota darkness, however, is dotted with well side flares going 24 hours a day and burning upwards of 500 million cubic feet of natural gas a day.
"At night it's like driving through the gates of hell," recalled Gibson. "It's a demonic atmosphere. The wells and the flares are pretty close to people's homes. If a flare goes out you're in deep trouble, meaning the gas can simply drift into your house."
In his Earth Island Journal article, Gibson tells the story of Brenda, a local who said the flare near her home did go out while away and she came back to house full of gas. It's happened to her three times—so far.
"They're afraid," said Gibson. "The feeling of invasiveness permeates their lives; they can't get away from it. They can't get any peace, they have no solace anymore because this non-stop industrial machine is running 24/7. People there feel like they are being run over by the oil and natural gas industry and they can't stop it. They feel like collateral damage and they are. I don't think that's an incorrect judgment at all."
Of course, underground, fracking can create its own kind of a hell.
In some cases, wells fail, and in turn, fracking fluid spills over or blows out onto the land. That fluid is the mix of chemicals and water oil drillers use with intense pressure to break open the underground rock structures.
"Sometimes that process fails because fracking is an explosive grade force in terms of pounds per square inch," said Gibson. "It's 3,000-15,000 pounds per square inch and if you're exercising that kind of force, it shouldn't be surprising that thing don't always go right."
Gibson noted that the Bakken Territory bumps up to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and there's this constant worry that the drilling is going to begin within sight of Roosevelt's original ranch and would directly intrude upon the park in the very near future.
"I think it's important that we understand what we are doing to our own country," said Gibson. "It may be western North Dakota, but it's still the United States."
Asked what President Roosevelt might think of what's taking place in western North Dakota, Gibson responded, "I think he would say that we as a people and as a government had failed to protect the land."

Christian conservatives who think Satan is using communism and Islam to bring down America can add a new "adversary" to the list: the Emergent Church movement.
A portion of the upcoming Values Voter Summit in Washington will stray from its usual focus on politics and consider the Emergent Church as one of three "channels the adversary is using to bring America down [7]." Art Ally, president of The Timothy Plan, a Florida-based mutual fund company devoted to "biblically responsible investing," will lead the breakout session.
"Why would Satan use Communism? It's a godless form of government," said Ally. "Why would Satan use Islam? Same reason. It's not a religion. It's a movement to dominate the world under the guise of religion. The Emergent Church plays right into that by weakening further our church community."
The Emergent (or Emerging) Church was a hot topic a decade ago as authors and pastors like Brian McLaren and Tony Jones challenged churches to adapt to a postmodern culture, but the movement never organized itself well, and the debate surrounding it eventually died down.
"The Emerging Church was founded to get the evangelical church to take art, social justice and other what might be considered progressive issues more seriously. It was also founded to get the Mainline church to loosen their neckties a little bit," Jones said.
"If we had one one-thousandth of the adherence of either of communism or Islam, we'd be doing pretty well."
Jones was surprised by the Emerging Church's inclusion in the conference, given that the movement has largely gone under the radar.
"When I first saw this, I thought it was a headline from The Onion," Jones said. "Some people say the Emerging Church is dead, other people say the Emerging Church has spread so far it's just been absorbed into the fabric of the American church, so maybe that's what frightens these guys."
But what Ally considers to be part of the Emergent Church might include a wider definition than what Jones and McLaren would. While hesitant to name names, Ally suggested that megachurch pastors Rick Warren, Bill Hybels and recently retired pastor John Piper could be considered emergent.
"These guys don't even talk about sin for fear it's driving away the postmodern generation," Ally said. "The Emergent Church has watered down biblical Christianity to the point that John the Baptist would have been shocked."
Many theologians, however, would likely not include Warren, Hybels and Piper in the Emergent camp. Piper, for example, has been critical of the Emergent Church, saying [8] it is "going away from the gospel."
Either way, the movement could be considered sputtering, said Scot McKnight, a New Testament scholar at Northern Seminary in Lombard, Ill.
"It's an unaware perception of what's going on in the church today," McKnight said. "I'm thinking this is going to appeal to people who are 70 and above."
The Timothy Plan has been featured in Christianity Today [9] and World magazine [10], which called it the "granddaddy of evangelical investment funds."
The mutual fund company, which has a portfolio of about $700 million, avoids investing in companies that it deems contrary to Scripture. For instance, it declines to invest in Starbucks because of the company's stance on gay rights.
The first 200 attendees at Ally's breakout session will receive complimentary copies of Curtis Bowers' DVD on Communism, Paul Blair's DVD on Islam and Roger Oakland's book "Faith Undone."
The Family Research Council's annual Values Voter Summit is seen as a platform for Republican and Tea Party luminaries to reach politically minded social conservatives. Confirmed speakers [11] this year include Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.; Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.; Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
A spokesman for FRC said that those who sponsor breakout panels choose their own content.
In 2007, the summit hosted a debate [12] between Sojourners founder Jim Wallis and Richard Land, then-president of the Southern Baptists' Ethics and Religious Commission, but it has generally strayed away from theological debates.
"Aspects of Emergent have become popular in Mainline Protestantism, and more regularized in pockets of evangelicalism," said Daniel Treier, a theology professor at Wheaton College outside Chicago. "I would speculate that the Values Voters are up in arms because of some prominent Emergent tensions over sexual ethics, its general aversion to right-wing culture wars, and thus its perceived tendency to go Democrat."

CHICAGO (AP) -- Florida Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria isn't counting out his team.
Loria says "anything can happen," and he's not ruling out a jump into playoff contention. The Marlins entered Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs last in the NL East at 44-48, 131/2 games out in the division and 10 back in the wild card. They have been playing better lately with a season high six straight wins after a miserable June that included a 1-19 stretch in which Edwin Rodriguez resigned and 80-year-old Jack McKeon replaced him on an interim basis as manager.
Loria says there's a chance McKeon could be brought back as manager next season, adding that experience will be a requirement for the job.
