Big Storms and Fracking: What's at Stake?
Amy Mall, Senior Policy Analyst, Washington, D.C.
Here in Washington, D.C. the winds are fast, furious, and loud as we await the brunt of Hurricane Sandy. Winds have been clocked up to 90 mph as the storm hits land with the lowest pressure ever recorded in the northeast. Images of a crane dangling off a Manhattan skyscraper are as scary as the reports that flooding will occur as far north as Vermont and New Hampshire.
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and eastern Ohio are all expected to be hit by the storm. What could it mean for fracking sites in the Marcellus shale?
One of the greatest risks at these sites are spills and what is called "stormwater runoff."
Under the Clean Water Act, there is something called the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule which includes requirements for oil spill prevention, preparedness, and response to prevent oil discharges to navigable waters and adjoining shorelines. The rule requires specific facilities to prepare, amend, and implement spill prevention plans. Sounds like a no-brainer. But in Fiscal Year 2011, EPA officials visited 120 sites oil and gas development sites and found 105 were out of compliance-- 87.5%. (Note: these do not have to be oil production sites. For example, natural gas pads may have enough fuel for drill rigs stored on site to trigger this requirement.)
Almost every single oil and gas site inspected lacked a mandatory spill prevention plan meant to protect our rivers and streams. This is an unacceptable flouting of our environmental laws.
In addition to a spill prevention plan, oil and gas companies should have something called a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. During a rainstorm, flowing water can pick up pollutants along the way, including toxic materials like fracking chemicals or fracking waste. Most companies are required by the Clean Water Act to get a stormwater permit by submitting a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan outlining precautions the company will take to avoid illegal discharge of pollutants and impacts to nearby rivers and streams. Ensuring prevention of stormwater run-off is not rocket science. It requires simple measures such as sufficient berms and containment systems. But the oil and gas industry is exempt from having to get a permit, which means regulators do not have to approve a pollution prevention plan--or even see if a company really has one for each site.
This is all increasingly terrifying as Sandy bears down on the Marcellus region, where there are many open pits filled with fracking and related waste. Because the oil and gas industry is also exempt from our hazardous waste laws, no one knows exactly how dangerous the waste at any particular site might be, but we know it can be very toxic and also radioactive. NRDC opposes storing of fracking and production waste in these open air pits, but it is still allowed.
What does a flooded wellpad look like? Here is a photo of a flooded wellpad in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, after Tropical Storm Lee in September, 2011:

And here is a photo of how dangerously close millions of gallons of potentially toxic fracking waste can be to homes, in this case in Washington County, Pennsylvania:

NRDC opposes having dangerous fracking waste stored so close to people's homes. Hurricane Sandy is terrifying for many reasons. For people living next to fracking waste sites, one of them is that the storm may flood these sites and cause toxic substances to flow onto their land, their home, or their farm. It is well past due for the toxic waste loophole for the oil and gas industry to be closed.

Sam Thacker says:
Personally I am amazed that the author doesn't point out the tremendous danger of having the dairy cow waste (see forefront of picture) runoff reproduce ecoli bacteria that could sicken and even kill thousands downstream. God forbid there is a large chicken farm or processing facility close by. Nitrates and phospherous are serious hazards to our streams and rivers, not to mention decaying animal carcasses floating downstream.
What are farmers like this one doing to prevent their hazardous material from being carried away in a flood?
Ronald Weedbaum says:
Runoff from well sites will not be in the top 25 environmental problems associated with Sandy or any other storm. The storm water will dilute an already diluted fluid and then it will all just rush down creeks and rivers to the ocean. Salt is the main problem with the flowback water and salt will not cause a problem in the ocean. There will be little or no health or other environmental impacts from this.
At the rate this is going, there will be so many regulations and extra costs put onto gas producers that it will then be cheaper to mine and burn coal than to produce shale gas. That will create a big shift away from gas and back to coal which will lead to major increases in GHG emissions, particulate matter pollution, mercury emissions, sulfur dioxide and more. If you are really for protecting the environment, then be careful what you wish for!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: A Galaxy Divided
The "Clone Wars" goes back to the original Star Wars film when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker that he was once a Jedi knight the same as your father and that they fought together in the Clone Wars. Since that moment fans have been obsessed with what the clone wars were. This new TV series takes place immediately after the events of Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The series follows Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker and introduces us to some new characters such as Ahsoka Tano a girl Jedi knight as well as characters we already know.]]>
As a weekly TV series on the Cartoon Network, Star Wars: The Clone Wars was much better than the disappointing movie that preceded it in the summer of 2008. Not bound to the central figures of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the CGI-animated series had the freedom to explore other characters and corners of the Star Wars universe. The series' first DVD, A Galaxy Divided, collects the first four episodes of season 1. In the first episode, "Ambush," master Yoda accepts a challenge from Sith assassin Asajj Ventress that will determine whether the Toydaria system (think Watto of The Phantom Menace) aligns itself with the Republic or the Separatists. The next three episodes--"Rising Malevolence," "Shadow of Malevolence," and "Destroy Malevolence"--comprise a single-story arc about the Separatists' deadly new weapon controlled by General Grievous on the ship Malevolence. Jedi Master Plo Koon is among the missing when the Separatists strike, but Anakin and his padawan, Ahsoka, bend the rules to try to save him. Space dogfights and tactical maneuvers follow, as Grievous attacks a clone medical station and Padme and C-3PO unwittingly get caught up in the middle of the battle.
Two flaws hinder A Galaxy Divided: the first is the decision to release the DVD as a kid-focused product, with only four episodes out of the full season's 22. Second is the failure to anamorphically enhance the picture for widescreen televisions, meaning black bars on the top, bottom, and sides unless you're watching on a traditional squareish 1.33 (4x3) screen. (Stretching the picture to fit 1.78 doesn't look too bad, though.) --David Horiuchi

Chris Davis (USA Today Sports Images)
MOBILE, Ala. — Dozens of autograph seekers, most of them young boys, crowded around Auburn cornerback Chris Davis following practices this week, and Wednesday was no different.
Davis is an icon, a do-no-wrong hero who miraculously placed Auburn in the SEC title game with his end-game miracle touchdown return off a missed field goal against Alabama. Without Davis' now-famous "Kick Six" play, Auburn might never have had a chance to play for a national title this season.
"Been a lot more people looking for my autograph since the Iron Bowl," he joked while signing. "Guess that's what happens when you make that play."
But to NFL scouts watching him this week, he's also the player who was picked on in the national championship game and who allowed the game-winning touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin in Florida State's final-minute championship victory.
Based on that and Davis' up-and-down work this week at the Senior Bowl, his draft status is hardly a known quantity at this point.
Davis acknowledged that the past two months have been an incredible ride, even if it's one that didn't go the way he had hoped.
"The last two months have been life-changing," Davis told Shutdown Corner. "Through the whole process, I have stayed humble. You go from being on cloud nine in the Alabama game to the rough part of losing [in the BCS championship game].
"But I am focused on chasing a dream. You can never feel like you've done enough to show people what you're capable of. One play, or one game, will never do that. I know a lot of the work is yet to be done."
Davis had a slow start in Monday's practice with a few missteps in coverage and on fielding punts and kickoffs. He also looked a shaky in off coverage a few times, allowing receivers to get too much space and not closing in time on throws his way. On Wednesday, Davis appeared more comfortable and confident.
At 5-foot-9 3/4 and 201 pounds, he's not tall for the position, but he has enough bulk on his frame to jam receivers at the line. Davis also showed that he won't give up when facing taller receivers, as he fought with 6-3 Vanderbilt wideout Jordan Matthews for a 50-50 ball and made sure Matthews didn't catch it by knocking it loose.
Davis has been working as an outside corner, as he played at Auburn, and though he's willing to play nickel, he feels most confident and comfortable outside. He also said that his best work on special teams are on punts more than kickoffs.
Although he has left his mark in the hearts of fans in this state, he's focused now on winning over the scouts.
"I know I have to show even more," Davis said, "and I am confident I can do that."
Tajh Boyd stands up to criticism
Clemson QB Tajh Boyd had a rough Monday during weigh-in when he measured at 6-0 7/8, which is below the quarterback Mendoza Line for some NFL teams.
Then came a report from a Green Bay Packers scout who said Boyd was "not draftable."
His tough day continued with an uneven performance throwing the ball at practice, and only slightly better — taking high winds into consideration — on Tuesday.
On Wednesday his performance improved as the conditions got better and he built a better rapport with his new receivers and terminology.
After facing questions about his height and that some attribute his video-game numbers at Clemson (11,904 passing yards, 107 touchdowns in 40 games there) to the system the Tigers ran and the exceptional talent they had at receiver, Boyd says he takes it all in stride — and he's got a good zinger for those who question him.
"The one thing my receivers [at Clemson] and I had in common is that I threw them the football," he said. "It's not like they threw it to themselves."
Boyd believes that in this NFL era of Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and others, height is not nearly as important to the position than it was a generation ago.
"I am well over 6-foot," he said with a smile. "I am a nicely built guy."
He also mentioned that's he's actually taller than those quarterbacks, and the Kansas City Chiefs' Chase Daniel — Boyd clearly has done his homework on shorter quarterbacks — and just a shade shorter than Robert Griffin III.
The NFL is welcoming more athletic quarterbacks in recent years, and that fewer teams are trying to shoehorn those types of players into rigid, pro-style offenses when their talents don't dictate it. Boyd has taken notice.
"I feel like the game of football is evolving," Boyd said. "It's not so much a systematic or just a pro style, because I feel like every offense at some point or another implements that type of [running style] in their offense. The Falcons do it. Matt Ryan just doesn't run as much but they've got that in their arsenal and they have that in their playbook.
"Whatever a coach has on his roster, he's going to adjust to it. He's not going to force a guy to play in his system if it's not built for him, so whatever team I play for, I'm going to learn the system as well as possible and just try to make the most out of it."
Boyd is an athletic quarterback. But he also doesn't want to be put into a box as far as his style goes.
"I feel like it's just not as much of a deal as it used to be. Obviously, you've got your [Tom Bradys] and your [Peyton Mannings]," Boyd said. "You can sit there and talk about Andrew Luck, but Andrew Luck can run with the best of them, he just doesn't get that stigma.
"You've got to be competitive, and you've got to be athletic in the game these days because defensive ends are running 4.4s out here, so you've got to be able to move a little bit unless your line is just a stone wall. I feel like I am more of a passer anyways. I don't really like to run as much, so if I can sit back there and throw the ball, that would be great with me."
This week has seen Boyd operating heavily out of a pro system, which the Atlanta Falcons run and are implementing in practice, and he's doing his best to show that he can do a lot of that type of work effectively, too.
"I feel like I am can make every throw. Obviously, there are some things that I can fix with dropping back, coming from a shotgun offense, but I don't have a problem with it.

Farina Pizzeria & Wine BarAcross Edith from the Artichoke Café, Farina's proximity to some of the most established fine dining in Albuquerque isn't an accident. Farina is the punked-up younger sibling of jazzy Artichoke Café, and it brings a tantalizingly direct message to the neighborhood: pizza, beer and wine, and all of it damn good. Sharp, concise and to the point, with 20 superb choices offered by the glass or bottle. Farina's wine list is straightforward and focused. The bar is comfortable and every wine is perfectly matched to the kitchen's chic pizzeria offerings. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Slate Street CaféModeled after a New York loft, Slate Street's wine bar has an ultra-hip, modern, minimalist feel. This wine list is rhythmic, flowing and poetic, and it's the most pleasurable to read and easiest to comprehend in Albuquerque. The wines are listed by style—"just a little sweet," "ABC: Anything But Chardonnay" or "sexy, elegant, austere"—not varietal or region. Demystifying the label like this makes it easy for patrons to pair wine and food. The listings are simple, but not simplistic. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Adding wine increases the price by $7 but is still a good value when compared to pricing each item individually.When it comes to wine selection, trust your server.

Full review: Prefab Pacific whim (1/11/2007)
Jinja Bar & BistroThis Asian-American eatery has a reputation for retro Pacific Rim decor and the clink of drinks with little umbrellas in them. If you're in the mood for East-meets-West fare like lettuce wraps, quaking beef or Tokyo crispy tofu, then load up the Prius and take a drive down Paseo del Norte. You'll also find a large selection of fine loose teas and more liquor than you can shake a limbo stick at. Have a yen for wine? Here it comes in white, red and plum. (Alibi Staff, October 10, 2012)

Full review: Lips Ahoy! (10/5/2006)
Pelican's RestaurantRough-hewn wood planks lead you into this nautically themed steak and seafood restaurant, which doesn't start seating for dinner until 5pm. Luckily, happy hour begins at 4pm. Have a "Lady Godiva" hot cocktail and a baker's dozen of "topless" oysters in the bar while you wait. Then dive into creamy clam chowder, 10-ounce, butter-sweet Australian lobster tail and Ranchero center-cut top sirloin. There's plenty of key lime pie in the icebox and Phil Collins on the speakers.

Savoy Wine Bar & GrillWine flights are the best way to try different selections without going broke, and Savoy has some interesting choices. They pair perfectly with the restaurant's stunning interiors and lovely New American dishes—grouper in an almond-romesco sauce, seafood linguine, grilled peach and seared sea scallop salads, and the house charcuterie plate. For dessert, there's praline-chocolate torte ($6), house-made blackberry-Chambord ice cream ($3.50), cheese plates and, of course, a glass of La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti ($5). Open 'til 10 p.m. weekdays, 11 p.m. weekends. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: The cure for the common sports bar (10/21/2010)
Doc & Eddy'sSomething that sets Doc & Eddy's apart from other sports bars is that no cover charge is extracted on Ultimate Fighting Championship nights. What you will find are pool tables, waitresses who are not dressed like strippers (TDs is across the parking lot if that's what you're after—it also airs UFC) and a kitchen staff that takes its job seriously. The Lobo burger is a thing of beauty, with smoked bacon sparring nicely with cheese and green chile. The fries are skin-on, and the legit red chile is medium spiced with the occasional fleck of coriander. Maybe everyone doesn't know your name, but it's pleasant and friendly—even to Brock Lesnar fans. (Alibi Staff, December 23, 2010)

The Fox and HoundAt first glance, The Fox and Hound is your typical sports bar, hip-hop music blasting, TVs blaring, and pretty waitresses bustling. But one glance at the extensive menu is all it takes to clue you in that it is a fine restaurant as well. Unlike the usual fried piece of beer sponge that you get at most sports bars, the menu offers more elegant dishes like blackened mahi-mahi. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

The dining room is walled with lustrous, ebony adobe, and the tables are clothed in crisp, black and white linens. By the glass or bottle, there's plenty of quality hooch. The menu is classic steakhouse stuff, with beef tournedos in a silky demi-glace, fresh fish and a damn fine veal Oscar. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

On the Dinosaur Trail
... in downtown Edmonton taking in the sights and sounds.
Further north at Fort Mcmurray lie the sand fields of Canada's Black Gold - their answer to Saudi Arabia's monopoly on oil.
The journey, a 5 hour drive from Edmonton entails one road in and the same road out with very little in between.
A very good easy road with lots of new developmental construction proved to be quite eventful.
Stepping off the Tourist Trail
On Monday 8th September we continued on our way to Fort McMurray (FM), 5hrs north of Edmonton, to visit some friends. We were not really sure what to expect as everyone we spoke to about FM gave us a funny little look, like to say "What on earth are you going up there for". We were warned there was not a lot to do and I had also been warned to be careful on the drive as the roads are dodge and I might get a moose run in front of my ...
Fort Mac early departure

In our 2 weeks at Fort Mac we played lots of tennis, exercised a lot and got our health back on track. We did a 3 day juice detox in which Anna joined in too. No solids for 3 days, it went quick though and I learnt a lot about making juices and other health facts. My tummy got flatter too which didn't last ...
Time to earn $$
Arrived in Fort McMurray ready to find a house and organise ourselves for work. We hooked up the free wifi anywhere we can get it which is mostly Starbucks or Maccas to search Kijijiji to find a home. The prices of accom were horrible, it ranged from $800 up to thousands of dollars for a months rent. Allana and I are here to earn money so we started to look for rooms/beds to share for our price range of max $700 a month. Larns lined up to meet with renters for the day and ...

According to Tom Rock of Newsday, New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is not practicing today because of soreness in his foot. It also looks like cornerback Michael Coe is being held out after pulling his hamstring last week.
Hakeem Nicks (foot) not practicing at all. Michael Coe (ham) and Ojomo (ham) both stretched but did little else.
— Tom Rock (@TomRock_Newsday) September 12, 2012
It was obvious that Nicks was bothered by his sore foot last week. After a couple of catches early in the first quarter, he suddenly disappeared for the rest of the game.

Snow & Ice Melting
Never shovel snow again! Snow and Ice Melting systems enhance the safety of your outdoor areas. Heated Driveways and walkways provide a snow free path without shoveling or nasty salts or chemicals.
Permanent systems, like ProMelt mats and cables, can be installed within new walkways or driveways provide years of invisible and durable snow melting results, whether it is a new concrete or asphalt heated driveway or a heated walkway of pavers or tile and even heated stairs for safe passage to your front door. These permanent snow melting systems are attached to rebar in new concrete pours, in sand under pavers or in new asphalt layers even on top of existing slabs and then covered by mortar and materials like flagstone, bluestone, etc.
You can even use these snow melting systems to provide comfort on patios to take the chill off cool evenings with up to 170 BTU's per Sq Ft heat output.
HeatTrak's portable snow melting mats are another solution for foot traffic areas (not driveways) that are already in place. We offer several size solutions in both a lighter duty Residential series for heated sidewalks and steps plus a heavy duty commercial-industrial series of mats that are used by many homeowners as well as hotels, ski resorts, and all types of businesses.
Browse Accessories
SunTouch manufactures a number of accessories that can make installing your mat even simpler. Whether you could use some extra double-sided tape to hold the mat down or would like a Loudmouth fault alarm for peace of mind during you installation, you can find everything you need here.
SunTouch manufactures a number of accessories that can make installing your WarmWire cable easier. Whether you need some extra Cable Strap and double-sided tape or just want an extra sensor wire for peace of mind, we have what you need.
For especially cold rooms with slab subfloors, consider installing this 6mm cork to add a thermal break between the heating elements and the slab. This will help lower the startup time of the system. Installing a programmable thermostat will help even more as they learn to compensate for the startup time.
Nuheat mat accessories make installing your mat even simpler. Pick up a Mat Sense Pro Fault Alarm and an extra Sensor Wire for more peace of mind during you installation.
Nuheat cable accessories make installing your cables easier. From Extra Cable Guides to Power Lead Extension Kits, get what you need here.
Whether you are heating your driveway or your roof, automated control is vital for snow and ice melting systems. Attaching a sensor to your system or control panel will ensure that it activates just before snow and ice start to form, giving you the absolute best results. Trying to operate a system with no sensor by manually turning it on can result in the system taking hours to melt snow build up and catch up to the current rate of snow fall.

Anti-diabetic capacity of Curcuma longa volatile oil in terms of its ability to inhibit glucosidase activities was evaluated. Turmeric volatile oils inhibited glucosidase enzymes more effectively than the reference standard drug acarbose. Drying of rhizomes was found to enhance α-glucosidase (IC(50) = 1.32-0.38 μg/ml) and α-amylase (IC(50) = 64.7-34.3 μg/ml) inhibitory capacities of volatile oils. Ar-Turmerone, the major volatile component in the rhizome also showed potent α-glucosidase (IC(50) = 0.28 μg) and α-amylase (IC(50) = 24.5 μg) inhibition.

Feeling unsettled? Wracked with anxiety? Stress eating? We feel you, because we, too, have been terribly concerned with the state of S̶y̶r̶i̶a̶ Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's relationship. Thankfully, E! News has an update, specifically, that "things are a little rocky" between the "Twilight" twosome.
"He's been hanging out with the boys a lot, and she's been with her girlfriends," tattles a source. "They seem to be living separate lives at the moment. I haven't seen her around at all."
Rob, 27, and Kristen, 23, recently returned from a trip to New York, and they reportedly planned to spend the actor's birthday together on last Monday. Unfortunately, rift rumblings surrounded the celebration after K.Stew was photographed showing some actual emotion on her face.
"They are absolutely still together but are having some difficulties right now," explains another insider, who blames "priorities" for the supposed romantic hiccup ("priorities" is apparently not a euphemism for two-timing). "They'll be fine. I do not foresee a split -- they are just crazy in love. This is just another bump in the road."

Common Core tests get a trial run
Annual testing may be here to stay, but states are expected to have more leeway.
Over the next several weeks millions of school children will be testing out new tests.
Most states have adopted new education standards known as the Common Core. Now they're trying to figure out how to measure what kids learn.
Beginning March 24, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers—known as PARCC—plans to field test nearly 10,000 questions to look for glitches or bias.
Another group, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, originally scheduled to launch its own field testing next Tuesday, will now begin March 25*. Students won't be scored, but that hasn't stopped a great deal of text anxiety on the part of teachers, parents and students.
Want to know what the tests look like? Take a practice test.
Common core standards followed around the country
UPDATE: This story has been updated to reflect a change in the test date.
