Portland International Airport's shuttle bus fleet will continue to be entirely powered by cleaner burning compressed natural gas thanks to a Voluntary Airport Low Emission Program grant awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration. The grant money will be used to purchase six CNG buses that transport airport passengers and employees from the terminal to parking and rental car facilities.
The grant was announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx yesterday. "[The] announcement supports President Obama's efforts to reduce carbon pollution and increase the deployment of cleaner, alternative fuel technologies," said Secretary Foxx. "It complements broad efforts across the FAA to expand the development and use of new technologies for aviation fuels that will benefit human health and the environment."
The FAA began the VALE program in 2005 to help airport sponsors meet their air quality responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. The program also supports the objectives of the President's Climate Action Plan. "We applaud Portland International Airport's efforts to become a better steward of the environment," FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta said. "This project will allow the airport to realize immediate emission-reduction benefits for the airport and surrounding communities."

Stopshoppingdebbie and jockey Rocco Bowen win the Hastings Handicap in 1:08.38UNBEATEN STOPSHOPPINGDEBBIE HEADS $50,000 WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATORS AUBURN, Wash. (June 3, 2014) – Sunday's $50,000 Washington State Legislators Stakes is Round 2 for the older fillies and mares.
Eight horses are nominated to the Washington State Legislators Stakes, which at 6 ½ furlongs marks the final sprint and the second of four open stakes for older fillies and mares this season at Emerald Downs.
Once again, all eyes will be on Northwest Farms' brilliant undefeated 4-year-old Stopshoppingdebbie, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Curlin who made short work of the May 11 Hastings Handicap. Using an electrifying burst of speed around the turn, Stopshoppingdebbie and jockey Rocco Bowen cruised to a four-length victory over Madame Pele in a stakes record-tying 1:08.38 for six furlongs. Stopshoppingdebbie already has five Emerald Downs stakes wins including a sweep of the track's 3-year-old filly series in 2013.
Trained by Tom Wenzel, Stopshoppingdebbie (6-6-0-0-$156,273) currently is tied with 3-year-old Louisiana-bred filly Ide Be Cool (6-6-0-0-$324,600) for most wins by an undefeated horse in North America. At 123 lbs, Stopshoppingdebbie carries the most weight in the Washington State Legislators since Elana d'Amour finished third under 123 lbs in 2003.
Runner-up in the Hastings, Madame Pele is a double stakes winning daughter of Salt Lake. She won the 6 ½-furlong Mesa Handicap this spring at Turf Paradise and romped in the one-mile Comcast Sports Net Stakes on Washington Cup Day last fall.
Blueberry Smoothie and Goin to the Window will take another crack at Stopshoppingdebbie, their stable mate to whom they finished second and third in all four of last year's races for 3-year-old fillies. Blueberry Smoothie comes off a third in the Hastings and is 2-3-4 in nine career starts, while Goin to the Window, fourth in the Hastings, is 2-3-2 in eight starts lifetime.
Finding More, a stakes winner in Louisiana, looks to rebound from a fifth in the Hastings, while Stephanie Plum and Tabled With Gold are tough competitors in the higher claiming ranks.

Minnesota twins?
Campaign 2012 | The public images of Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann could not be more different: Mr. Nice Guy versus Mrs. Prairie Firebrand. But beneath the surface the two GOP presidential candidates have more in common than being from Minnesota. Those who know them say it would be a mistake to underestimate either one
"Minnesota twins?" Continued...
AMES, Iowa-Having just finished courting Iowa Republicans at a dinner in Ames, presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty walks outside to court the media. He is almost immediately asked a question that includes a reference to rival Michele Bachmann's sex appeal.
Five of the six questions reporters pose to Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, deal with the Republican congresswoman who also hails from Minnesota.
"You know Bachmann pretty well. What are her strengths and qualifications?"
"Could she beat Barack Obama?"
Pawlenty, trying to move up from the bottom of the GOP's presidential pack, smiles. Inside he may be seething, but he'd better get used to it.
The last election in which two White House contenders called Minnesota home was 1968. The state has brought America such liberals as Eugene McCarthy, Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, and now Al Franken. Minnesotans haven't given their state's electoral votes to a Republican since 1972.
But this year Minnesota has gone red. Pawlenty has been called the most conservative governor in the state's history. Bachmann is the first Republican woman elected from the state to the U.S. House. Now both are fighting to call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue home. Beyond being rare conservatives from a left-leaning state, both appeal to the same pro-life, pro-marriage, anti-Obamacare crowd.
Pawlenty famously has said Republicans should be the "party of Sam's Club not just the country club." Bachmann has embraced the rise of the Tea Party as warmly as any of her Capitol Hill colleagues. Both argue that they are the best options to unite all factions of the GOP. So what divides them? Both need a victory in Iowa's much-watched Aug. 13 straw poll to propel them toward November 2012.
Pundits and those who know them say it's hard to describe the two conservatives as Minnesota twins. Their political roots reside in Minnesota, yet anyone watching them on the campaign trail can see they possess different styles and distinct resumés. But a closer look at their working-class roots and current policy positions reveals at least a partly shared narrative.
Pawlenty, 50, grew up near the foul smelling slaughterhouses of the South St. Paul stockyards. He was one of five siblings in a Catholic family. His dad drove trucks, and his mom died while Pawlenty was a teenager. Then his dad lost his job. "I saw in the mirror the face of a very uncertain future," Pawlenty said.
He became the first member of his family to go to college. He stocked shelves in a grocery store for seven years and delivered newspapers to pay for tuition at the University of Minnesota where he earned undergraduate and law degrees. He wanted to be a dentist. He met his wife, Mary, in law school.
Bachmann, 55, was born in Iowa-a fact she doesn't hide in her campaign stops here. She describes how her ancestors "felled the trees and plowed the prairies" in Iowa's early days. "Everything I needed to know I learned in Iowa," she says.
Her grandparents worked on railroads, in sewing factories, and in packing plants. Her father was the first member of the family to go to college. Bachmann drove a school bus to help pay for college. She met her husband, Marcus, while attending Minnesota's Winona State University.
Both Pawlenty and Bachmann profess to be evangelical Christians and are comfortable discussing their beliefs in public. At the event in Ames, Pawlenty started his speech by talking about a passage in Isaiah Chapter 6 where God asks "Whom shall I send?" and Isaiah responds, "Send me."
"We have all been blessed with different resources," Pawlenty said. "The question is how are you going to use them? One of the most meaningful purposes we have in front of us is a responsibility to the care and custody of freedom."
Bachmann recently closed a speech in Washington, D.C., by evoking 1 Timothy 2:2 and asking the attendees to pray.
She then led the group in a prayer for the nation's leaders and its finances before asking for forgiveness for the nation's sins: "This is not a political scorecard," she prayed. "This is about the very life and future of our nation. So Father we lift it up to You. We ask that once again You will turn Your face towards us."
Both Bachmann and Pawlenty credit their spouses for helping them go deeper in their faiths. "She was pretty far ahead of me in terms of biblical memorization and knowledge," Pawlenty told me about his wife. "She really challenged me to get a better understanding of the Bible and its teachings."
Wanting a unified faith experience for their marriage, Tim left the Catholic church around the time of their 1987 wedding. He joined Mary as a member of the Wooddale Church in the Minneapolis suburbs. The couple are still members of the nondenominational evangelical megachurch, whose senior pastor, Leith Anderson, is the current president of the National Association of Evangelicals.
"I can't say that I have caught her in my biblical knowledge, but I have closed the gap," Pawlenty said. Mary is featured in a recent six-minute campaign video talking about how their "faith walk" is the most important aspect of their marriage and family. In the video Pawlenty and his wife discuss why their hope is in Jesus Christ and how the United States was founded as a nation under God.
Pawlenty, who has called for the country to move toward God, says he is transparent about his beliefs because voters need to know the source of a leader's values. He told me that one of his favorite passages is Proverbs 3:5-6. "It is a daily reminder for me to make sure that we put our trust and our faith in the right place, which is God," he said. "You have got to have a sense of humility. There are so many things you can't control, and you have to know where your help comes from."
Married now for 33 years, Bachmann and her husband were inspired in college by theologian Francis Schaeffer's film series, How Should We Then Live? Bachmann, who went on an overseas mission trip to Israel sponsored by Young Life, said the videos impressed upon them the "high value we need to place on human life. That is the first right. Inalienable rights are ones that man cannot give, only a creator can."
For years Bachmann was a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and attended the Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minn. The synod came under media fire this summer for a doctrinal statement calling the pope the Antichrist.
While Bachmann has not been active in the church for the last two years, the press is raising questions about the timing of her family's decision to seek an official written release from their church membership. The synod granted that release just six days before Bachmann formally announced her candidacy.
Bachmann now attends Eagle Brook Church, a nondenominational megachurch with a Baptist heritage that boasts four Minnesota locations with worship services for more than 13,000 people each weekend.
This is not the only area of the Bachmanns' faith that has brought controversy. Marcus runs a Christian counseling center that's faced media attacks for its use of biblical counseling strategies, including prayer, with homosexual patients.
Bachmann and her husband have put their faith into action. Seeing a couple at church with foster children inspired Bachmann to open up her home to at-risk children. They cared for a total of 23 foster children, mostly abused teenagers, over a six-year period in the 1990s. "While we were by no means a perfect family, one thing that we could offer was just a little bit of a picture of maybe what the word normal looks like," Bachmann said in testimony before Congress in 2007.
These foster children led Bachmann to jump into the political arena. Bachmann's five biological children had been educated through a combination of Christian schools and homeschooling. But the law required Bachmann's foster children to attend public schools. Frustrated by the state's curriculum mandates, Bachmann ran for a school board seat in 1999. She lost. But even in defeat her public speaking gift attracted notice.
"I did not expect her to be so articulate, so dynamic, and so captivating," said Twila Brase, president of the St. Paul-based Citizens' Council on Health Care. Brase saw Bachmann inspire an audience during her grassroots push against the state's education standards and thought, "'Gracious, she's good.' I knew she'd be a little dynamo if she ever got elected."
The school board loss remains Bachmann's only campaign defeat. The next year she unseated a 28-year incumbent for a seat in the Minnesota senate. Six years later, in 2006, Bachmann won an open seat for the U.S. House. She became part of the smallest GOP freshman class in 60 years. A federal tax lawyer turned stay-at-home mom turned political activist had become a politician.
Pawlenty worked his way up the political ladder: from a seat on a city planning commission to city council to state legislator to Minnesota House Majority Leader to governor. Pawlenty won both of his governor's races with less than 50 percent of the vote, but despite being an underdog swore off negative campaigning: "My attitude in life is you can be a strong advocate without being a jerk," he said while running for governor.
He has been tagged with being too "Minnesota nice." So what happened during the June 13 New Hampshire GOP presidential debate shouldn't have been too surprising. Days before the election, the Pawlenty campaign coined the word "Obamneycare" in an effort to connect frontrunner Mitt Romney's Massachusetts healthcare plan to Obama's federal healthcare law.
But when asked repeatedly to elaborate on the catchphrase by CNN debate moderator John King, Pawlenty refused to detail the plan's problems in front of Romney. Pawlenty had missed a headline-grabbing moment.
Instead Pawlenty had to stand on stage and learn a lesson in Bachmann-style campaigning. A poised Bachmann used the debate to announce to a national television audience that she was officially running for president. She got the night's first big applause with the statement: "I want to announce tonight President Obama is a one-term president."
In the first poll after the debate, Bachmann skyrocketed to second place with 19 percent. Pawlenty tied for sixth place with 6 percent.
Bachmann has long been a favorite of talking heads. She appeared on national television, mostly Fox News, once every nine days in 2009. There is even a Michele Bachmann action figure for sale.
This attention translates into campaign cash: Bachmann raised $13.5 million for her 2010 reelection bid-more than any other House incumbent. She has broad grassroots appeal: In the first quarter of this year, 75 percent of her donations came from donors giving $200 or less.
Pawlenty can boast of no eponymous action figure and only intermittent television appearances. So far he's been unable to stop a national narrative that he is boring-an image that puzzles those who know Pawlenty. Former Minnesota House Speaker Steve Sviggum calls Pawlenty an accomplished prankster who had enough guts to take on wrestler turned governor Jesse Ventura when Pawlenty was House Majority Leader.
But during a recent Pawlenty campaign stop in Urbandale, Iowa, Bill Campbell was one of the first people to grab the microphone. He told Pawlenty that he would like to see a stronger demeanor from him. "I think he comes across as vanilla," Campbell, a retired postal worker from Indianola, explained later. "He is going to have to have a little more passion to win the election."
Pawlenty answered Campbell by saying that "the loudest guy or woman in the bar usually isn't the toughest. I'm an old hockey player. I've been in more fights than the rest of the candidates combined." While Bachmann specializes in stirring the crowds, Pawlenty doesn't mind sharing the stage. At the Urbandale town hall Pawlenty called up a 10-year-old boy wearing a Minnesota Vikings jersey and asked him to explain the problems with Obama's economic politics.
"Pawlenty is well-known for being likeable," said Doug Tice, an editor with the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "He's a guy you'd want to have a beer with. But that doesn't come across on TV." Pawlenty's defense is that America "doesn't need an entertainer in chief." So he has replaced theatrics with a methodical presentation of his conservative bona fides in a series of major policy speeches.
As governor, Pawlenty inherited a $4.5 billion state budget deficit. He also faced a Senate controlled by the state's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party for both of his terms and a DFL-controlled House his final term as governor. His clash with lawmakers over budget issues in 2005 led to the state's first government shutdown in 150 years. It lasted for nine days.
Having campaigned on a no-new-taxes pledge, Pawlenty cut taxes by $800 million. But Minnesota lawmakers resolved the shutdown only after Pawlenty agreed to a "health impact fee" that imposed a 75-cent per pack increase on cigarettes. "They didn't call it a tax, but everyone laughed at that," Tice said. "They knew what it was."
The governor set a record for vetoes, earning him a "godfather of no" headline from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Pawlenty also beat the unions during a 44-day transit strike over workers wanting taxpayer-funded vested healthcare benefits for life. "He was a stellar goalie, stopping shots at a time when the other side had a power play on," said John Helmberger with the Minnesota Family Council. "He understands why government cannot be a savior."
Overall Pawlenty reduced the growth rate of state spending as governor for the first time in Minnesota history. From 1960 to 2003, the state budget grew 21 percent on average every two years. The average fell to 4 percent on Pawlenty's watch. The conservative Cato Institute gave Pawlenty one of only four "A" grades for governors last year. "He fundamentally changed taxing and spending patterns over the last eight years," said Mitch Pearlstein, the president of the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment.
Conservatives did criticize Pawlenty for being a one-time supporter of cap-and-trade policies and for toying with government healthcare exchanges in 2007. He has since abandoned both and fought the new federal healthcare law as governor. On the campaign trail Pawlenty has denied any responsibility for Minnesota's most recent shutdown, saying it is due to a 20 percent spending increase he would have never allowed.
Pawlenty has been touting this resumé during his recent Iowa tour. "It is about record not just rhetoric," he said. "Do you just flap your jaws or do you get things done?"
This is a subtle swipe at Bachmann. Into her third congressional term Congress has yet to pass a single piece of legislation authored by Bachmann. She has not been tapped to lead a congressional committee or subcommittee. In recent speeches, she likes to highlight a "light bulb freedom of choice" act she has sponsored.
Bachmann has had six chiefs of staff since taking office. One of those former office heads, Ron Carey, described Bachmann's office as "wildly out of control" in an op-ed for the Des Moines Register. "If she is unable, or unwilling, to handle the basic duties of a campaign or congressional office, how could she possibly manage the magnitude of the presidency?" Carey wrote.
Until last year's election, Bachmann had spent the bulk of her time on Capitol Hill handcuffed as a member of the minority party. Last fall, after Republicans won control of the House, Bachmann made an unsuccessful bid to join the GOP leadership team.
Rebuffed, she created her own leadership position by founding and chairing the Tea Party Caucus. In January, she irked GOP leaders by offering her own televised response to Obama's State of the Union address even though Republicans had selected Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to give the party's official reaction.
Viewing herself in Congress as a "foreign correspondent behind enemy lines," Bachmann tries to use her lack of legislative accomplishments as a strength during her speeches: "What I have tried fervently to do is to bring a different voice to Washington and to the halls of Congress that hasn't been heard for very long," she said.
This preference for an outside over an inside political game is the same tactic Bachmann used as a member of the Minnesota Senate. The Minnesota Family Council's Tom Prichard remembers getting a call from Bachmann soon after the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that state's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional in 2003.
"She said if this could happen in Massachusetts it could happen in Minnesota. She was ready to roll," Prichard said of Bachmann, who pushed for a state constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriages in Minnesota. "I see her as an activist who happens to be a legislator."
Bachmann spoke the language of the Tea Party before the Tea Party existed. Without the rise of the Tea Party it's doubtful her presidential campaign would exist. And if Bachmann found her audience in the Tea Party, she found her ultimate cause in the debate over Obamacare.
Her attacks on the bill, which she called the "crown jewel of socialism," culminated in an October 2009 appearance on Fox News when she called on citizens to make a "House call" on the Capitol in the days before the vote. "I'm asking people to come to Washington, D.C., by the carload . . . find members of Congress, look at the whites of their eyes, and say, 'Don't take away my healthcare.' This is our liberty and tyranny moment."
Thousands joined Bachmann around the steps of the Capitol.
But the frequency of Bachmann's exposure increases the odds of gaffes. She has had more than a few including claiming that an Obama trip to India would cost $200 million a day, that airstrikes in Libya potentially killed up to 30,000, and that Iran had a secret plan to partition Iraq.
So far, the gaffes haven't stopped Bachmann from gaining in the polls-seemingly at the expense of Pawlenty. Highlighting the importance of the Aug. 13 straw poll in Ames to both candidates, Pawlenty and Bachmann ended July locked in an intensifying verbal battle. Bachmann on July 24 argued that Pawlenty's time as governor led to a multibillion-dollar deficit in Minnesota: "Executive experience is not an asset if it simply means bigger and more intrusive government," she said. Pawlenty came back a day later by shedding his Minnesota Nice persona and saying that Bachmann has a history of "saying things that are off the mark."
Pawlenty supporters believe he will persist. Steve Sviggum, the former House speaker, said Pawlenty installed a bubble hockey game in the basement of the governor's mansion where he successfully took on three opponents at a time in late night challenges of the foosball-style game. "I believe in my heart that he will be the last man standing," Sviggum told me. "He doesn't have anything hidden in his closet that will bring him down in October or November."
Steve Pirkle has his own idea about how to solve this Minnesota rivalry. "I'm thinking of maybe a ticket of him and of Bachmann would do," said the 48-year-old photographer from Mason City, Iowa, while leaving a Pawlenty event in Clear Lake. But when asked which one should run at the top of that ticket, Pirkle shook his head.
"Oh, I don't know about that yet."


text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor The future of the Grant Municipal Airport was discussed by Grant City Council members at their regular meeting on Sept. 13. • Council terminated the contract of the current airport manager at their previous meeting due to budget constraints. The contract ends Oct. 31. Bill Besarick, who has been the on-site airport manager since October 2004, had a salary in the range of $14,000 plus benefits. Council has not decided what to do about upkeep of the facility and maintenance of private planes. • Council once again discussed installation of a new AWOS (Automated Weather Observing System) at the airport and the benefits it would provide. The project would be 95 percent financed by the FAA. Maintenance of approximately $5,000 per year for the tower, phone system, etc. would be up to the City of Grant to fund. Before such a system is installed at the Grant airport, the city must acquire approximately one acre of land for it to sit on. A new AWOS system would be beneficial to Grant and the surrounding area by providing up-to-the-minute weather conditions. AWOS can be used for instrument approach by local pilots and pilots landing emergency life saving aircraft to pick up critical patients and airlift them to regional hospitals.Economic Loans Two economic development loans were approved by council at the recent meeting. • A loan for $22,500 was approved for Ride Rite Garage. Owner James Deaver, whose current economic development loan will be consolidated with the new one, is moving his business to a new location and will use the additional funds for updates and new equipment. Ride Rite Garage will occupy a portion of the former IBP (Innovative Building Products) building south of Highway 23. The IBP business was bought out by another company and recently relocated, leaving the large structure available for sale. • Council unanimously approved an economic development loan for Grant Family Restaurant. A $5,000 loan will be used to install a newer and larger salad bar, along with additional equipment.In Other Business • Council accepted the water and lotto reports presented. • A tax rate of .455199 was unanimously approved for the city's new 2011-12 budget which has a tax asking of $203,426. • An ordinance was passed to increase compensation to employees by 2 percent in the new fiscal year. • City Superintendent Tyson McGreer reported on recent sewer pipe testing along eight blocks at a cost of $4,200. Two sections in the old clay pipe tested were reported as "severely needing repair," according to McGreer. Cracks were identified in five more areas. Council requested the agenda item be forwarded to the next meeting so action can be taken.Downtown Trees Approximately five trees were removed along Central Avenue over the summer. Additionally, a dead tree was removed last Thursday near the senior center. According to McGreer, replacement of better quality trees will begin this fall. The city will install grates that surround the trunk of the new trees to prevent suckers, eliminate unsightly weeds, and provide a neater appearance. Abatement Progresses The city is moving forward in the cleanup process, with one property in the 600 block of Washington to be abated in the near future. Two other properties that have the same owner have been declared a nuisance and steps are being taken to get the sites cleaned up. After passing a resolution declaring the properties a nuisance, a letter from the West Central Nebraska Development District has been sent giving the owner a time frame to clean up the sites.

Magers Now Suing CNX, Columbia
December 31, 2012
CAMERON — Chesapeake Energy attorneys deny the company's drilling and fracking contaminated Jeremiah Magers' drinking water well with methane, so he is now suing CNX Gas Corp....
Federal, and in some cases, state, law makes proving water well contamination complaints very difficult. A Federal codicil, known commonly as the Halliburton Loophole, was put into the Safe Drinking Water Act at the behest of former VP Dick Cheney. It exempts fracking companies from having to reveal the exact components of the frack fluids they use, the companies are allowed to treat them as "trade secrets", so they can't be specifically tested for in water contamination cases. We don't know about West Virginia, but Pennsylvania has a somewhat related law in the books, known as the "942 Suite Code", which designates water quality complaints associated with gas drilling; and, it specifically screens out contaminants known to be associated with the Marcellus Shale; they can be neither tested for nor reported.

they should have been fined when they first showed up here and were dumping the fracking fluid into the ohio river right at wellsburg's water treatment plant.this went on day and night.if i were a cop i would have asked them what they were dumping.after a month or so someone put a stop to it but it proved one thing.they don't care about the natives.they'll do or say anything for a buck.they are dancing with the politicians here.

The article is about a well contaminated with methane, NOT fracking fluid. STILL waiting for you anti-gas loons to provide a SINGLE example of a fracking fluid contaminated well in the Ohio Valley. Out of THOUSANDS of local wells fracked, considering how much contamination you're claiming, surely you can give ONE EXAMPLE of a contaminated well? No?
And your "Halliburton Loophole" claim is a canard. The chemicals used in fracking are PUBLISHED and well-known. If fracking fluid were in your well, you could test for those chemicals, and you would. You haven't found any, yet you still push your fear campaign. Wonder why.
fracfocus.o rg/chemical-use/what-chemicals-are-used
And THIS methane is NOT from the Marcellus. It was tested and proved to be biogenic, NOT thermogenic. Have WVUGEO explain that if he can. So AGAIN, WVUGEO, you're spreading fear and the same old lies to advance your anti-gas agenda. Your lie-filled claims are pathetic and corrupt.

Surprising TrollSlayer's VITRIOLIC posts aren't removed, especially with degrading statements to WVUGEO and others like: "you're spreading fear and the same old lies to advance your anti-gas agenda. Your lie-filled claims are pathetic and corrupt." More of his BOLD and HATEFUL words with TONS of BLUSTER and ZERO facts. What is his agenda? Does he work for industry? What does he fear, the truth? FACT: Recent analysis of gas wells drilled from 2010-2012, using O&G industry provided data, shows a 6.6 to 7.2 percent rate of failure in well casings (Dr. Ingraffea-CORNELL). We have also learned contaminated water well test results were withheld from citizens by the DEP in Pennsylvania, so 2013 should be a field day for attorneys. The final release of EPA study data in 2014 should be eye-opening.

troll,we're not anti-gas.please explain to me how they remove all of the benzene from the ground.polluting our ground comes with the territory of this business.you know something is wrong with your water when the dogs quit drinking it.i don't have a well but for some people that is their only source.if you were drinking the water a year ago and now you can't there has to be something wrong.don't believe what your government tells you.politicians are sleeping with these people.

WVUGEO claims the so-called "Halliburton Loophole" exempts "fracking companies?" from revealing their components. But drilling companies DO reveal them, and they're posted here.
Now, Marcellus, explain to me why fracking has ANYTHING to do with the coal bed methane coming out of the well in the picture? Because TESTING proved that it WAS coal bed methane, and NOT Marcellus-related. But WVUGEO took this opportunity to post some lies about fracking and spread a little more fear about an unrelated process in an unrelated industry. And Marcellus whined about it when I called him out on it. Just a pack of liars with an anti-gas agenda. Pathetic.

mikeyd, those fluids are pumped OVER A MILE DOWN. And those drillers certainly do NOT want the casings to crack, or THEY lose their investment and their profits. Just more lies and fear mongering. Present documented facts and you'll have a point to make. Otherwise you're just spreading rumors from an acquaintance who told you his uncle's dog wouldn't drink the water.

troll,i have my own dogs.it would be good if these are all rumors and propaganda.time will tell.i do know that they were dumping whatever it was into the river because me and a lot of other people witnessed this for a good month.right where the whole towns drinking water comes from.that is not a rumor.irresponsibility.

So the almighty TrollSlayer has fallen for the FRACFOCUS ruse. Many of the formulations listed there are "proprietary" and do not have full disclosure due to trade secrets. Full disclosure would include CAS numbers for every chemical and their quantities. And just because you know what some of the chemicals are doesn't make them any less toxic. Do some reading at the TEDX - The Endocrine Disruption Exchange website to learn more.

So the allparanoid Marcellus has imagined a FRACFOCUS ruse. Or is your "FRACFOCUS ruse" claim a Marcellusruse?
And the fact that you aren't actually finding ANY of those chemicals in ANY of your wells DOES make them considerably less toxic.
Now go back to spraying insecticides and fungicides and fertilizers on your lawn and shrubs and fields and dumping disinfectants and cleansers and drugs down your drain and into your leach field and and then complaining about all the fracking chemicals you DIDN'T find in your well. LOL

my dog's crap out in the yard is the only fertilizer that i use.any household chemicals in the leech field will be filtered out by miles of dirt before it reaches our water supply.paranoid?no,i just have kids.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
mikeyd, filtered out? Explain exactly how that works. And if it does work, why doesn't that fracking fluid also get "filtered out" by miles of dirt? Maybe you haven't thought this through all the way.
If you have a well your water supply is only a few hundred feet down. If you drink city water and are on city sewage ALL those chemicals you put down your drain go into the city water supply. That fracking fluid goes OVER A MILE DOWN, and what comes up is cleaner and safer than the sewage that most people send to the same city sewage treatment plant. But the fear mongers sure have a heyday with their unfounded claims of contamination. That's their ruse.

Topic: Some modifications...
1st, congratulation!
I gave iRedMail 0.5.0 the first try and voala, it works out of the box - like a charme!
Great work, thx a lot.
2nd, I have to do some modifications to use iRedMail too:
Very important for me is how passwords are stored.
Have to migrate an older mailsystem, 52 vdomains, ~4000 user, passwords are MD5 hashes.
So it seems that Dovecot doesn´t use MD5 -> mysql.conf: password-shema = CRYPT
The passwords in the database mapping files also cryptet - I just know this with plain text.
My Q. is, what have I to do, that iRM stores the passwords in MD5[PLAIN] format (not MD5-Crypt, CRAM-MD5 or CRYPT).
Is it enough to modify Dovecots mysql.conf and Postfixadmins config.inc.php [$CONF['encrypt'] = 'md5';]?
A domainadmin for the first standard domain is created well. What I miss is a SUPERADMIN.
Great works, thx twice
- Urgent issue? Pay iRedMail developer to solve it remotely at $39.

Channelside, Florida - A waterspout moved ashore in downtown Tampa and took a right turn plowing a path through Channelside just before lunchtime on Tuesday.
Incredibly, no one was hurt... but it did some serious damage.
"I felt like I was in the Wizard of Oz for a second," said Harbour Island visitor Adam Page.
Page is staying at the Westin Harbour Island, where part of the roof was shredded into metal strips as the storm came ashore.
WATCH: Waterspout Moves Into Downtown Tampa
"Well, there's no warning, all of a sudden it just hit," said Robert Hagemann, a charter bus driver who kept more than 50 people aboard until the wind stopped shaking the tour bus.
"I've lived here 10 years and this is by far the most wind I've ever seen," said Harbour Island resident Christian Deater.
Witnesses from Harbour Island to Channelside reported downed signs, tree limbs and power poles. The whole thing lasted about four to five minutes.
Any doubts about it being a tornado seemed to be erased by Greek Taverna Manager Rachel Prophet, who used those familiar words when describing what she'd seen and heard:
"You know how when a train's coming in? That's what it sounded like. A train coming in."
Boats were damaged. Cars were crushed by toppling fences, among them a rental being used by the Steinhausen family visiting from Germany.
Burkhard Steinhausen said he was glad his wife and child were unharmed, but said, "Now I have a problem because it's a rental car, and I don't know what to do!"
Perhaps most dangerous in all of this is that the winds were strong enough to lift patio furniture from the nearby Channelside Towers. They became flying missiles that landed several blocks away, near the Tampa Aquarium.
"It was frightening," said Sharon Armstrong, who owns a couch the city work crews recovered. She watched in horror and disbelief as the winds lifted it off her 26th floor balcony.
"It just lifted up and spun in a circle and went over," she said.
Weather officials say the waterspout will be classified as an F-0 tornado... a weak one by storm standards. But it was more than strong enough to do some damage and leave a lasting impression.
"It was nuts. I've never seen anything so powerful," said Page.
Elsewhere, there were reports of widespread wind damage with numerous trees and power lines down, as well as damage to docks and boats in several locations around Cedar Key. Cedar Key also posted a wind gust of around 79 knots (90 mph).

And the reviews are in:
"This fin dives like a dream. It's easy on the legs, highly maneuverable and provides effortless propulsion. It also has outstanding power vs. stress rates and easy-to-maintain speed. The fin is deceptive; it requires so little effort it sometimes does not seem like its doing much, but in fact its moving you right along." -Scuba Lab

Average Customer Review: based on 9 reviews.Rating: Aeros full foot fins
My wife wears a size 7.5 womens shoe, which size of these fins for women should we order?
Generally speaking, with full foot fins you want to shoot for the middle of a sizing range as much as you can. In this case your wife is right at a size cut. If it was a definite that this was the fin, of chose I'd choose the smaller size in this particular fin.
Do i have to wear dive socks/boots? And I am a size 8.5 in womens running shoes, so which size fin would be best?
Hello Jess, if you want to wear boots with these fins you will have to go up in sizes for the boots. These fins are a closed foot fin so wearing a thin pair of socks or your bare feet is what these are designed for. As for the correct size you would be. You are going to go by your tennis shoe size. You are size men7-8/women8-9. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
One more question, I am a teenager whois just getting started scuba diving (only done 3 dives). I have semi muscluar legs (pretty decent for my age). WOuld these fins be a smart purchase or is there another brand or fin type that you recommend?
These fins should work fine. If you want a fin with more power but a little harder to kick take a look at the Aqualung Express. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-21/114322/Aqua-Lung-Express-Full-Foot-Dive-Fins.html
Small and light weight, yet extremely efficient, the Velocity Full Foot Fins feature our unique Power Enhancing Vents (PEV's) for reduced leg stress and increased velocity. During the fin stroke, water flow is directed through the PEV's. This helps reduce the stress on the divers leg while accelerating water over the blade; resulting in increased velocity. Water movement through the PEV's reduce lateral movement of the fin (wasted energy), increasing the efficiency of the kick.
Made from advanced composite materials for ideal flex and memory, with an ergonomically designed foot pocket and weighing in at only 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg) per pair, the Velocity Full Foot fins are the ideal SCUBA or snorkeling fin for the traveler. Try a pair for yourself and find out what we mean by 'designed for velocity'.

None of above works.
Most importantly, I tried to read email in my gmail account using outlook and can see pictures. So this points to Zimbra.
UPDATE: I just realized that the embedded pictures are in page source as uuencoded strings. So the problem seems to lie in displaying them, not about whether to download them. For the test email where embedded pictures do show, the source says id="Picture_x0020_0" src="cid:email@example.com" -- not uuencoded, but rather downloaded separately and linked to in html.

Authorities say they have still yet to determine the cause of a January fire at Meridian's Threefoot building.
Meridian Fire Chief Anthony Clayton says investigators have exhausted all possibilities and they are now relying on the community's help to solve this case.
Clayton says since the fire happened a couple of months ago, evidence from the the Threefoot building has been sent to the crime lab in Jackson, which found no traces of accelerants. Chief Clayton also tells Newscenter 11 that investigators have ruled out anything electrical, which brings authorities to a dead end he says.
"It's sort of like building a house," Clayton explains. "You have so much material you can use and once you've used all that material, there's no more to build on. Where we're at now, there's no more information to build on."
Chief Clayton says one of the good things about the Threefoot building is it is a fire resistant building, meaning there aren't a lot of flammable materials on the inside. Therefore, he says there was never really any great danger of the building actually burning down.
Investigators say they simply need your help. If you have any information about this case, call Crimestoppers at 601-485-1860.

STEUBENVILLE - Defensive pressure and red-hot free-throw shooting made the difference Friday as Steubenville Catholic whipped Madonna 69-44 on Senior Night.
The Blue Dons, playing their second game in as many nights, hung with the Crusaders for the opening 16 minutes and trailed by five (27-22) at the break. Sean Tucker's club turned up the defensive heat in the third and Madonna fell apart, committing 10 turnovers.
Steubenville Catholic took advantage of those miscues to run off 15 consecutive points. A 3-pointer by Matt Martello capped the burst and put the Crusaders ahead 43-24. The hosts outscored Madonna 21-8 during the period to grab a 48-30 lead.
Article Photos
Steubenville Catholic's Michael Barber (3) and Ryan Fletcher surround Madonna's Anthony Antinone in Friday's game.
Steubenville Catholic knocked down 11 of 14 free tosses in building the double-digit spread.
When discussing the third-quarter turnaround, Tucker credited ''great adjustments at halftime.''
''We talked to the kids and pointed some things out that we needed to change,'' he said.
''The kids executed those change in the third quarter. They wanted to win and they wanted to play hard.''
Madonna's George Vargo noted ''they picked up the tempo on defense and we couldn't handle it. We have young guards, a young team and we're going through some growing pains.''
For the game, played before a standing-room-only crowd inside the Mickey Barber Gymnasium, Steubenville Catholic was 76 percent from the line, knocking down 28 of 37 tries.
Steubenville Catholic held a 12-10 lead after one quarter. Madonna was able to stay close thanks to six points from James Carnes. Ryan Fletcher scored six of his own during the second.
Fletcher started the third with a free throw before Madonna's Josh Martin made it 28-24 with a putback. From there, it was all Steubenville Catholic.
Michael Barber got the scoring burst going when he tickled the twine from behind the arc. Fletcher followed with a conventional three-point play and the Crusaders then cashed in six straight free tosses before Martello's triple.
Fletcher paced Steubenville Catholic (14-4) in scoring with 16 points. Brenton Colabella added 14, Martello contributed 11 and Barber nine. The Crusaders collected 28 rebounds, Zach Herrington getting eight.
Hard-working Will Bowser had eight to lead Madonna (5-10) Nate Guio and Tyler Ewusiak each had seven.

under par
Just golf for fun
Unfortunately, I've never played golf, but going to start and was curious what most CF'ers score. I know par is 72, but I also know that most people don't score any where near that.
folf, nice
par isnt always 72, i usually shoot about 5 over or better
I'll shoot anywhere from 90 to 110 depending on the difficulty of the course...I consider myself a crappy golfer. Depends how bad I get eaten alive on the par 3's.
120 or so. Just started playing again.

hit really well today including the 8 beers I had :) usually after 4 or 5 beers my game declines...couldve shot 8 over today but missed 2 short birdie putts!! still a great afternoon to golf and tomorrow is looking better at waveland!
Posted via Mobile Device
I haven't played in years. When I was playing quite a bit in the mid 1990's I was shooting low 90s with an occasional 88 or 89
i golfed an 84 yesterday and it was my hgihest score yet so i wa really happy! usually im like a 90-95 golfer
If you are just starting, then breaking 100 is a good goal.
Also, do yourself a favor: learn the rules, and score yourself properly, every time. You will get a much better read on how you are improving, and it will be much more satisfying when you finally break 100 (and 90, etc.).
Most of all: Have fun!
EDIT: I am a 15, so breaking 90 is my goal these days. I shot 88 on back-to-back days last weekend, so I'm feeling good about my improvement so far this season.
These are allot lower than I expected
80-85 usually. Over 85 would be a very bad day or a pretty tough course. Below 80 happens once in a while but I'm to busy to be consistently that low.
My best round was a 72. Usually in the low 80's
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.

Friday News, December 21
Thousands of Iowans Still Without Power
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Tens of thousands of Iowans have had their electric power restored following a winter storm that dropped more than a foot of snow in the Des Moines area.
But MidAmerican Energy reports that nearly 9,500 customers - most of them in Des Moines - were still without power Friday morning.
At the height of the storm that swept into Iowa early Thursday, more than 34, 000 customers were without electricity, including more than 32,000 in the Des Moines area.
Transportation Officials Still Trying To Clear Roads
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials say snow plow operators will be out Friday morning continuing to clear roads affected by a major storm this week.
The state Department of Transportation says nearly 450 snow plows and other removal equipment is helping clear crash scenes and vehicles blocking roadways on the interstate system.
The agency says travel is not expected to significantly improve until later Friday.
At least 80 crashes were reported Thursday throughout the state. Officials also say drivers on a 10-mile stretch of Interstate 80 were stuck Thursday night. A 25-car pileup on Interstate 35 in northern Iowa killed two people and injured seven.
A major snow storm hit most of Iowa Wednesday night into Thursday. The National Weather Service says more than a foot of snow hit the Des Moines area.
Hillview Sledding and Tubing Hill Hopes To Open Soon
(Hinton) -- Now that we have had our first major snow, and given the fact schools will be dismissing for Christmas break, you would think it would be the perfect opportunity to go sledding. However, Dennis Sohl, Executive Director with the Plymouth County Conservation Board says, not so fast. The Conservation Board oversees the county parks, including the popular sledding and tubing hill, Hillview Recreation Center located just west of Hinton.
Listen to
Sohl hopes we can get more snow, as he would like to see the tubing hill open the day after Christmas.
Listen to
The Conservation Official explains how much snow is needed for safe sledding and tubing.

Sohl says once the tubing and sledding hill are able to be open, he says the public will notice some improvements at the hill, including new warming huts, electrical outlets, and more seating away from the wind.
Harkin Says Social Security Should Not Be Cut
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says President Barack Obama should not include cuts to Social Security in any agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
Harkin told reporters Wednesday that Social Security benefits should not be cut to reduce the nation's budget deficit since the program is funded separately. He says Obama should stand firm
because "the vast majority of the American people are on our side on this."
In negotiations with House Speaker John Boehner, Obama has agreed to adopt a method of calculating inflation that would slow the growth of Social Security benefits.
Harkin says he's concerned that Obama has also proposed raising taxes on incomes over $400,000, instead of the $250,000 level he campaigned on. Harkin says voters gave Obama a mandate for the
$250,000 level.
Harkin Turns Down Senate Appropriations Chair
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - U.S. Senator Tom Harkin says he declined an opportunity to become chairman of the prestigious Senate Appropriations Committee because he wants to keep working on health care and retirement issues.
Harkin told reporters Thursday that he loves chairing the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee and would continue in that position. The Democrat says he wants to ensure the success
of President Barack Obama's health care law, and to push for a new nationwide pension program to help retirees.
The opportunity to chair Appropriations came to Harkin after the death of Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii because of the Senate's seniority rules. The job went first to Senator Patrick Leahy of
Vermont and then to Harkin. Both declined.
Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland will become the committee's next chair.
Iowa State University Hires Woman For Engineering Dean
AMES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa State University says it has hired the dean of engineering from Mississippi State University to fill the same position at ISU.
Sara Rajala (RYE-ah-lah) will begin work on the Ames campus April 1. The university made the announcement Thursday.
Rajala has been engineering dean at Mississippi State since 2008. There she is credited with raising more than $30 million in private gifts and revising the strategic plan for the college of
She succeeds Jonathan Wickert, who was promoted in July to senior vice president and provost at Iowa State.
Bankers Say Rising Commodity Prices and Lower Fuel Costs Are Helping Businesses
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A new survey of rural bankers shows that rising commodity prices and lower energy costs are helping businesses in Midwestern states and the northern Plains.
The Rural Mainstreet Index released Thursday climbed in December, the fourth straight month of growth. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey from Omaha, Nebraska
says the reading is the healthiest recorded since June 2007.
The survey showed increases in bank borrowing to purchase farmland and equipment, and rising farmland prices. The December hiring index rose half a point, to 53.5. The home-sales index
slipped in December, to 61.3 from November's 62.0.
The index ranges from 0 to 100, with 50 representing "growth neutral." It's based on a survey of rural bankers in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and

I have a few questions: 1. How is it held in underwater use? Is there a wrist strap or slot to hook it to a retracter? 2. Is there an option for a video light for under water use? 3. Is there an option for a strobe for underwater use? Thanks
There are a variety of ways to mount a GoPro camera. The company offers, head mounts, chest mounts, helmet mounts and a handful of other packages and mounting options. It is not designed to accept the standard tray and stobe package from other manufacturers.
Thanks for your quick response. For underwater use, I dont want a head or chest mount. I prefer hand held with a clip on a retractor clipped to my BCD. What options/packages are there for that? How do I order those here? Thanks.

Hello Nancy, yes this is the dive housing for the camera. Then the lighting system designed for this camera is the Underwater Kinetics Black Pak Lighting System for GoPro Cameras web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/126004/Underwater-Kinetics-Black-Pak-Lighting-System-for-GoPro-Cameras.html.

What are the dimensions of the camera? For underwater shooting, does the camera have a screen or how does one compose the picture? Thanks much.
I bought a Gopro HERO3black3/1/13 Are you so pose to get 2 batterys with it and if not can you buy an extra one through Scuba.com. I also did not get a USB cable with the camera. What is driver free connectivity to both NAC and PC.
Your request for a USB cable has been submitted to our returns department. The Driver free connectivity means you don't need to install disks/drivers to connect your GoPro to devices. GoPro cameras only come with 1 rechargeable battery. We do offer the spare batteries there are two types you can get. What I have found with the GoPro and it sounds like you have as well is that the battery life is not as long as one would hope. I would highly suggest getting the Battery BacPac, it will double the battery life of your camera: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/168310/Gopro-Hero-Battery-BacPac.html OR your other option would be getting the spare battery and this would require you to open the housing to change the battery every time: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/168302/Gopro-Spare---Replacement-Rechargeable-Li-Ion-Battery-for-HERO-3-Camera.html
Hello, does the Gopro HERO 3 Black need a Red filter for underwater? Without the filter are the colors good?
Hi, Is there a saltwater resistant video tether that can be attached that will feed live video to the surface, real-time? Do you know the length limitation on that? TIA, Don
I have the Hero 2 GoPro and learned the hard way that the video at 100 ft is very blurred and you lose colors. Ive since gotten the dive housing for it as well as a red filter. 2 questions - can that same housing be used for the Hero 3 black edition? and - is the resolution for the Hero 3 better for scuba diving?
Would you recommend this camera as the only "still shot" camera for a diver to own?
Were I only focusing on still taking still photos. I would use http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-535/168209/Sealife-DC1400-14-Megapixel-Underwater-Camera-and-HD-Video-Pro-Set-with-Digital-Pro-Flash.html
I am considering a gopro white, silver or black. Would any of these models fit my needs (provided below). Any suggestions would also be appreciated. My diving consists of 80 to 130 fsw with viz usually 40 to 100 feet all dives are made during the day. I mostly will be using the video for the over all dive site rather than focusing in on small fish. Also, I not a super expert and do not care to about 10 extra user options to squeeze out extra quality. Thanks
The GoPro Silver would be a good choice. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-535/168290/Gopro-HERO-3-Silver-Edition-High-Definition-Video-and-Underwater-Camera.html
The GoPro Silver would be a good choice. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-535/168290/Gopro-HERO-3-Silver-Edition-High-Definition-Video-and-Underwater-Camera.html
How does the wireless work on these cameras? Will i have the ability for divers on the boat to watch live as another diver is using the gopro? If so, what is the distance of the wireless when diving, in respect to the silver and black gopro. Thanks
I just received my gopro hero 3 advanture black edition package that I bought, but when I open up the package, the battery that came with the box is not in good condition. What should I do?
What is included in this? Will I need additional mounts, or screens to attach the Go Pro to a Pistol Grip style dive light?
The unit comes with various universal attachments. For a light the UK system is a good one. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/126004/Underwater-Kinetics-Black-Pak-Lighting-System-for-GoPro-Cameras.html
I am considering a gopro silver or black and want to confirm the only advantage of the black is 12 mega-pixel versus 11, and an included remote control. Are there any other differences? My diving consists of 60 to 120 fsw with viz usually 40 to 100 feet all dives are made during the day. I mostly will be using the video for the over all dive site rather than focusing in on small fish. Thanks
Smaller, lighter and 2X more powerful, again. The Wi-Fi enabled HERO3: Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous models. Wearable and gear mountable, waterproof to 197' (60m), capable of capturing ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video and 12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second, the HERO3: Black Edition is the world's most versatile camera. Built-in Wi-Fi, GoPro App compatibility and the included Wi-Fi Remote (normally a separate $79.99 accessory) make the HERO3: Black Edition all the more versatile, still.
Smaller, Lighter...BetterWeighing in at a scant 2.6 ounces, the HERO3: Black Edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than previous models.
2X Faster Video PerformanceThe HERO3: Black Edition captures professional, cinema-quality video at 2X the resolution and 2X the frame-rate of previous models while delivering 2X better low light performance. Slow-motion aficionados and industry professionals will love the HERO3: Black Edition's 1080p-60, 720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48 video modes while those desiring a cinematic look will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 2.7KP-30 fps and 4KP-15 fps (Protune only) video modes.
3X Faster Photo PerformanceThe HERO3: Black Edition's photo performance is 3X improved, now boasting 12MP burst capture at a staggering 30 frames per second with 2X better low light performance compared to previous models. Still Photo and Time-lapse Photo modes remain the same but are now joined by a new Continuous Photo mode that captures continuous 12MP stills at a steady 3, 5, or 10 photo-per-second rate, up to 30 photos at a time.
Improved Sharpness, Less DistortionThe HERO3's reduced-distortion, 6-element aspherical lens combines with user-selectable Ultra-wide, Medium and Narrow field-of-views to deliver more perspective-capture options than ever before. Add the totally updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers stunning image sharpness both above and below water and you've got one of the most powerful and durable image capture solutions on the planet.
Redesigned Audio SystemUnderstanding that sound quality is as important as image quality, GoPro engineers completely redesigned the HERO3 to be as adept at capturing the subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at capturing the immersive sounds of sport. Also improved is GoPro's already famous wind-noise reduction, ensuring that you'll hear more of your passion, be it your engine or expletives, and less of the wind during high speed activities.
Built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Remote Included)The HERO3 Black Edition features built-in Wi-Fi and includes GoPro's Wi-Fi Remote accessory. The Wi-Fi Remote is normally available as a $79.99 accessory but is included with the HERO3: Black Edition. The Wi-Fi Remote is waterproof, wearable and can control up to 50 Wi-Fi-enabled GoPros at a time from a range of 600'. The HERO3's built in Wi-Fi means it can also be controlled by iOS smartphones and tablets running the GoPro App*. The GoPro App enables full camera control and scene preview on any compatible iOS smartphone or tablet. * A software update for your HERO3 camera is required before using the GoPro app. Click here to update your HERO3 product software.

I'd say it's an appropriate place for the discussion.
I guess my first question is whether Vecna has a secret tower on Pandemonium in D&D canon, or is this an addition? If he did then I guess you'd probably want to stick with anything that's known about it. If he didn't...well then, you're free to play aren't you?
I don't know 1E cosmology that well but I'm more up on 2E, thanks to Planescape. Pandemonium is a cool place, I think...solid rock, bored out like a rotten apple, right? With a crazy, random wind that might ruffle your hair...or pick you up and carry you a few miles. If that's the one I'm remembering then I'd suggest, first of all, that you don't make it a tower at all. How about some sort of M.C. Escher-ish kind of thing with variable gravity that sits in its own pocket cavern? I might not even make it connected to the rest of the plane by tunnels...Vecna was a paranoid sort, wasn't he? I prefer geometric shapes in general but it might be cool to go with something more organic, sort of maybe echoing Vecna's birthing the "science" of "bio-engineering". I'm out of ideas until I go read more about Pandemonium and Vecna.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I loves me some planar weirdness.

Update - Traffic to Pleasure Island flowing smoothly
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 12:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 12:51 p.m.
Carolina Beach Police Department reported at 6:20 p.m. Friday on its Facebook page that traffic to get onto Pleasure Island was once again flowing smoothly. Earlier in the afternoon traffic to the island was backed up over two miles.
"Give yourself some extra time to get there and please be patient," an earlier police department post said. "We expect these delays through the entire weekend."
Snow's Cut Bridge, which carries U.S. 421 traffic onto the island, has been reduced to two traffic lanes as part of a long-term rehabilitation project.
The work isn't at a point where the bridge can be reopened to all four lanes, according to N.C. Department of Transportation officials.

The Africana Studies major is designed to provide students with a rich intellectual experience through the critical and systematic study of the life, thought and practice of African peoples, Continental and Diasporan, in their current and historical dimensions. The discipline of Africana Studies focuses on the critical study of African Americans, Continental Africans, Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Latinos, but also allows for study of African peoples in Asia and Europe. Africana Studies seeks to critically examine and understand the Africana experience from an Afrocentric or African-centered perspective, i.e., from a position internal to the culture of the people studied, while retaining a respect for and openness to the multicultural character and instructive value of the total human experience. Thus, Africana Studies emphasizes an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach to scholarship, teaching and learning as vital to the discipline and to the general education enterprise. Within this understanding, Africana Studies expects students to develop a critical capacity for comparative analysis, holistic thinking, multicultural and international awareness, and sensitivity to issues of race, ethnicity, class and gender.
Africana Studies understands itself as the central site for the critical, coherent and concentrated study of African peoples in their commonalities and diversity. It therefore offers a wide range of courses for the general academic interest and requirements of the university and the specialized concentration of its majors and minors in various areas of focus. The subspecialties of the discipline include: Africana theory and philosophy; Africana women's studies; African American historical studies; and Continental African studies.
Africana Studies offers knowledge and training which provide a solid foundation for those interested in: (1) continuing their education in graduate studies in Africana Studies or in such areas as law, education, social and behavioral sciences, business, etc.; (2) seeking to enhance their education and employability by adding a multicultural and diversity aspect to it (teachers, administrators, counselors, business persons, etc.); (3) pursuing various careers, especially those which increasingly require or prefer ethnic and multicultural knowledge and competence. Thus, Africana Studies majors have been successful in a variety of fields, including education, law, politics, urban planning, business, government, journalism, psychology, social work, criminal justice, acting, creative writing, and foreign service.
Given its appreciation for its origins and continuing rootedness in social and academic concerns and initiatives, the Africana Studies Department values and constantly expands its links with the local, national and world African community. It thus encourages students to take advantage of opportunities to do service learning and internships, and study abroad. The Department also encourages and supports faculty/student collaboration in conferences, forums, field trips and joint research and writing projects. The Department of Africana Studies also places great emphasis on enhanced mentoring and advisement in the interest of a pedagogy of cooperative teaching and learning which fosters academic excellence, student success and social responsibility and engagement.

OXON HILL, Md. (WUSA) -- Prince George's County police say a crash involving a Metro bus started when an officer spotted a car suspected to be stolen and possibly connected to purse snatchings at gas stations.
According to Cpl. Maria McKinney, an officer spotted a white Nissan Maxima reported stolen earlier from Neptune Avenue and Audrey Lane in Glassmanor shortly after 9 a.m. Friday. The Maxima was also seen previously in Hyattsville at the scene of purse snatchings at gas stations.
The officer saw the Maxima going past him and made a U-turn to try to stop the vehicle, but the Maxima's driver spotted him and fled, said Cpl. McKinney.
Another officer saw the Maxima speeding and tried to stop it but it continued, zigzagging in and out of traffic. Eventually, the driver lost control of the vehicle and it spun and hit a Metrobus on Southern Avenue and Wheeler Road.
McKinney says three people were inside the Maxima. They were apprehended by police from Prince George's County and D.C. (the intersection is on the county and city line).
A photo tweeted by the Oxon Hill Volunteer Fire Department shows a white car with back end damage and its hood up facing the Metro bus. The Metro bus has a sign for P1 Eastover.
Metro officials told us Metro bus 6182 was struck, and a driver and passenger were transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Fire officials say the area is closed for investigation.
