Rosetta, If you need help sorting out what steps to take, please ask. I have some ideas, and maybe others here do also.
If you know the current surface owner, I might be able to at least help find out the deed book and number of the deed selling to him, if you don't know that. You could maybe order it from the Marion County clerk.
Thanks for your input Nancy. I guess whoever had the surface rights, sold it to him. The deed( for minerals only) was to my stepmother, and then to me via her will in 2008. My portion is clearly only the mineral rights, coal, oil and gas, etc. I am trying to figure out what to do. I live out of state, so its not like I can just go to the court house and do research, so I am gathering everything I have here, putting it in order and figuring out exactly what I will need to research, if and when, I have to go there. Thanks again. Rosetta
Rosetta, when the property was purchased in 2010, who sold it? I think you said you have that deed, and it is clearly just surface sold? Minerals retained?
And, back to what the landman said, it is possible that the landman is thinking of the Ohio law and not West Virginia about land reverting to surface owner. There is some law there that if the minerals are separated, then nothing is done with the minerals for 20 years (no leasing or things like that) then the minerals revert to surface owner. But WV does not have that law. We pay taxes on the minerals so that is the big difference.
Yes, it sounds like you also need to see the will where the gggrandmother inherited from her mother in law. If that will stated that she only had a life estate, it might mean something (not sure what) but otherwise, I can't see how that abstractor could have thought that.
I have the deed information, where in the 1860's, her father-in-law, my step ggggrandfather, divided the property in thirds, for each of his three children. In 1880's, my ggggrandfather purchased his brothers 1/3, giving him 2/3. This 2/3, over 81 acres was divided into 5ths. I have a letter in 1961 from an attorney, a month or so after gggrandmother died, in which it states that she got the minerals from her mother-in-law...so I guess I need to find that will and or deed to see. I went to the tax dept online website and truly it states that when the property was purchased in 2010, it was surface only; yet he got this company to lease the minerals. The tax office sticks by their story and of course, the burden falls upon me. I appreciate your comments. Thanks
Rosetta Wilkinson, do you have a copy of the deed where your ancestor sold the surface? If the minerals were really retained as a life estate, then when your step gggrandmother died, the minerals went however the deed said. I think the first thing to do is somehow get a copy of the deed, and any deeds before that in the chain of title.
It could be that one or more of those offices made a mistake but you'll need the deed to find out.
At least that is where I would start. Anybody else with more ideas?
Does the Chesapeake sale announced in the newsletter today affect Marion County, WV?
Can anyone steer me to a Fairmont or Morgantown attorney who can provide information about how badly I'm being screwed by Chesapeake?
I just wanted to let you know about an upcoming Seminar Series through the YPE called Energy Industry Training Series- It's 12 part series, although you can just attend one or two if you like. The first Seminar is in June, and gives a complete overview of both the Marcellus and Utica plays.
You can learn more here!
Hi Kyle,
Regarding EQT, they feel they have proven to us via the letter they sent to the previous owner at the end of 2010 telling him they would "allow" the free gas to continue while he's the owner but if he ever sells the property "the free gas rights MAY not convey". I don't see how they can just wake up one morning and decide to terminate the lease. As far as I can tell, the lease wording states as long as gas is being produced for them, this lease remains in effect.
I will definitely tap into the knowledge of the ladies at the desk at Marion county. I'm pretty good with looking things up and researching, so I hope it goes smoothly and I find lots of good information. For me, just knowing who owned the property all through the years and who first bought & built on the property will be an awesome keepsake! However, we need to know this information because I would like to see a clearer copy of the lease agreements and keep them on hand for future reference for our friends at EQT. We did send them a letter back stating we need proof of this termination by 10/19/12. They're probably still laughing at us as we speak! LOL So, I'm sure after my trip to "Almost Heaven", you will be needed as our new attorney on this project.
Thanks so much for all your help!

The key difference between these two approaches is that deleting and then re-creating the eright would require access to the Mint. If you use a pool, then you do not require access to the Mint. This means that your 'blinding agent' could offer blinding services for any eright, not just those that agreed to be blinded by giving the 'blinding agent' a capability for the Mint. This might have important legal as well as practical consequences. In terms of runtime performance, there is no difference between the two approaches. Erights are never reified as actual objects. A Purse keeps track of its contents using a counter as you suggested; therefore, in storage space, the pool would be just a counter. Tyler

Brazil's Daterra coffee farm has set aside more than one-third of its land as protected area. Learn more »

Ecosystem Conservation: Our Impacts
As the world's population grows and natural resources dwindle, the creation of parks and protected natural areas is not enough to solve the problem of forest destruction. The Rainforest Alliance believes that it is possible to safeguard valuable ecosystems while still allowing communities and businesses to extract the forest resources upon which their livelihoods depend.
The farms, forests and tourism businesses with which we work not only manage their own lands sustainably but they also function as an integral part of the larger landscape -- keeping trees standing, preventing erosion, protecting waterways and soils, providing wildlife habitat and reducing the risk of fires and other destructive activities. Together, sustainably managed businesses and neighboring protected areas can form a thriving mosaic that nurtures ecosystems, wildlife and people.
Certified Plantation Forests Twice as Likely to Establish Natural Reserves
A study1 of Brazil's plantation forests found that 100 percent of FSC/Rainforest Alliance Certified enterprises had established or were in the process of establishing legal reserves, compared to 57 percent of noncertified businesses. Certified enterprises also planted native species at a 40 percent higher rate than noncertified businesses, providing greater resistance to pests and decay and helping to restore the natural diversity that would be found in the landscape.
Certified Enterprises Link Forest Fragments and Provide Wildlife Habitat
Shade-grown coffee farms support more biodiversity than other agricultural land uses2, and certified farms and forests are good neighbors to forests and nature reserves as well as to the species that call them home.
- A 2011 study found that FSC/Rainforest Alliance Certified forestry enterprises helped to protect nearby UNESCO World Heritage Sites -- by enhancing wildlife habitat, providing additional sources of genetic material, minimizing the intrusion of invasive species and preventing forest fires.
- Research found that migratory birds in El Salvador prefer Rainforest Alliance Certified farms3 to "sun" coffee farms. Located within the Apaneca Biological Corridor, the certified farms were part of a patchwork of forest fragments that safeguard migration routes for wildlife, including the country's more than 500 bird species.
Certified Coffee Farms Improve Soil Health
Colombia's Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee farms were found to have consistently higher richness and diversity of soil arthropods than noncertified farms4. These species -- including spiders, mites and ticks -- are sensitive to the texture, structure and fertility of soil, and their presence is an indicator of soil health.
Certified Forestry Concessions Prevent Deforestation & Fires Better than Protected Areas
Guatemala's 4.9-million-acre Maya Biosphere Reserve includes areas designated as forestry concessions, where local communities are allowed to extract timber. Researchers found that the deforestation rate was 20 times higher in the reserve's protected areas than in FSC/Rainforest Alliance Certified concessions, and the incidence of forest fires was 104 times higher in protected areas -- 10.4 percent of land burned versus 0.1 percent in certified concessions.

The Playlist: Not Ready to Make Nice
Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks kicked off the week at the Texas Capitol singing "Not Ready to Make Nice," which captured the spirit of Monday's rallies for and against abortion restrictions. That same song leads our playlist inspired by the week's news in Texas politics and policy.
The easiest way to enjoy the playlist is to download Spotify, which is a free program. But even without it, you can still follow along. Here are this week's other selections:
The throngs were at the Capitol because Gov. Rick Perry had called lawmakers back for yet another special ...

DEEP in a thick wood, cunningly hidden from view and as quiet as it's possible to be while wearing 60lbs of clanking armour, the daring knight carefully plots his next move. His strong hand grips his sword tightly, his mind races, his heart pumps.
For he is Sir Valten Drakvald, the illegitimate yet fiercely proud son of a nobleman. Towering over his fellow men, he is a 6ft 3in, 19-stone mighty hulk of medieval menace.
All of which might come as something of a surprise to the genteel customers in the shop where he works. For in reality, Sir Valten is Mike Young, an otherwise peace-loving, fairly ordinary 32-year-old bloke.
Yet hurtling around a public woodland dressed up as a knight of the realm, brandishing a pretend sword and generally escaping into a make-believe world of sprightly elves and ugly trolls, bad kings and pretty imprisoned princesses, is how he - and a surprising number of other white-collar professionals - are choosing to spend their spare time.
Mike is one of around 30 "larpers" - live action role players - in the Edinburgh branch of nationwide fantasy game Fools and Heroes, whose spare time involves dressing up and heading off into a fantasy land to act out medieval dramas.
On certain weekends, stroll through any one of a number of forests scattered around the Edinburgh area and you are just as likely to cross paths with a towering knight in full armour, fleeing princess or any number of humble healers, as you are a squirrel or a wood pigeon.
For the number of people losing themselves in fantasy - whether dressed in medieval garb and frolicking around a forest, indulging in fantasy card and board games or simply disappearing into their own little world accompanied by a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel or a Lord of the Rings DVD - has never been greater.
Type the words "live action roleplay" into the internet search engine Google and you'll be inundated with a staggering 95,000 hits from the UK alone.
And every geek in the world capable of spelling the word "hobbit" appears to be hooked on fantasy card game Magic: The Gathering.
And now there's the movie. Produced by Edinburgh-based Pure Magic Films, Gamerz the Movie turns "larping" into a comedy drama.
Based around the experiences of a geeky university fresher who discovers live action role play, it follows him into a love tangle for the affections of a goth who, incidentally, believes she is an elf.
Written and produced by one-time role-player Robbie Fraser, the film was premiered at an international science fiction festival in Glasgow last week - instantly raising the potential for even more people to dress up in replica medieval clothes, speak in ancient tongues and flounce around woodlands brandishing an array of fake weaponry.
But just why do so many apparently sensible adults feel the need to escape from reality by losing themselves in a fictional world of fantasy? And what do they get out of it?
"Look, in this world there are a lot of problems," sighs Mike, acutely conscious of how larping can easily become a target for sniggers.
"So it's good to get away from all of the problems for a little while. And this isn't that much different from, say, paintball.
"You're given a story to follow, a weapon and then you go and act out that story. And no-one really laughs at people who play paintball."
Apart from the fantasy escapism, there is also a physical side to an afternoon of larping, adds Mike, who lives in Dunfermline and has been a larper for 15 years, mostly with the Edinburgh branch.
"There's a chance you will be going to march through a forest for a good few miles dressed in heavy steel armour. That can be pretty hard going.
"So you get a pretty thorough afternoon of exercise and get to use your imagination at the same time."
Which is partly why Helen Dixon found herself spending her spare weekends dressed as an 11th century alchemist.
Yet with a degree in physics to her credit, some might wonder why she appears to have thrown her years of swotting aside in favour of larping and a new career in making and selling fantasy role-play outfits - just one element of a massive fantasy industry.
"I used to do orienteering when I was younger and I'd occasionally run into a live action group or someone dressed up as a goblin and wonder if they were all mad. So I'm not terribly surprised a lot of people don't take larping very seriously," says the 24-year-old. Every few weeks Helen, pictured left, who runs Lyonesse Clothing which specialises in larping outfits, morphs into Anna, a feisty runaway from the year 1002 who is a dab hand with a fake weapon.
"It's just nice to get outside - even when it's bitterly cold and snowing - and have a bit of escapism.
"It's about being somewhat childlike, but not childish. It's an opportunity to have fun and to be part of a group - people like to belong to a group."
Edinburgh-based corporate psychologist Ben Williams agrees there are childlike qualities to live action role-playing and taking part can bring many benefits.
"It's very important for children to role play, it's how they learn to be adults," he says.
"In adulthood, role play gives you release and relief from modern life. If you are playing the role of a cavalier or a Roman soldier, you aren't worrying about that report you have to write by Monday morning.
"It's pure escapism, but it also gives people a release from the limitations of their own personality. You might find a very staid bank manager or dull accountant can become an ebullient master, or commander or gladiator - it gives them a chance to be someone else for a while.
"There is no harm, as long as people understand it is a game. However, people can become obsessional and addicted to the emotional and intellectual payoff."
For call-centre team leader Andrew Crichton, 36, larping was a natural progression from his boyhood small-screen action heroes and space-age storybooks. "I was very taken by the tales of heroic deeds and I loved watching TV serials like Flash Gordon and the Flashing Blade," he says.
"My brother and I acquired the Dungeons and Dragons basic game to see what it was all about. The opportunity to create and play through your own stories is really what drew me in."
While larpers today can spend hundreds of pounds on a single replica sword, the early days of roleplaying was much more basic, he adds.
"Swords were just drainpipes wrapped in foam and costuming was quite pitiful.
"Now swords and other weapons look as they should and the level of costuming, particularly at events, is much higher than before. There also seem to be a lot more women involved."
So why does he go? "Live role-playing aides the imagination by letting you see the adventure rather than holding it all in your head," he explains.
"I think it is still the story elements basic to role-playing that keeps me going back - along with the better feeling of immersion that you get from the dressing up and acting out the drama."
Mike Young, alias Sir Valten Drakvald, agrees there's more to larping than running around a wood trying to rescue fair maidens. "A large body of larpers are either students or former students, people who are fairly intelligent. For me, I was a keen student of history before, but now I've learned more about knights and armour and their lives. Apart from that, there are worse things we could be doing."
More information on Fools and Heroes LARP is available on www.foolsandheroes.com
CAN'T take the pace of modern life? There's any number of fantasy games available to lose yourself in - from board games played with a dice, to pub role- playing games, live action role play to internet card games.
Business appears to be booming for Liam O'Connor, who runs Black Lion Games at 90 Buccleuch Street, a tiny store packed floor to ceiling with fantasy games.
"There are an awful lot of gamers out there - live action role players or people who play board and card games - and they cross all types and ages.
"I have customers ranging from kids up to their grandparents."
Many are hooked on Magic: The Gathering, a fantasy card game which some players describe as more complex than chess, requiring more skill than poker and highly addictive.
Jeremy Mansfield, who describes himself as a "boffin working in technology and development", plays Magic: The Gathering regularly, choosing his personal deck of cards from thousands of possibles, each one with its own value and abilities.
"Many of the good Magic players tend to have degrees in computing or maths," Jeremy says.
"Usually they are not much short of Mensa level and they often end up as very good poker players.
"Personally, I don't think I have ever encountered anything else that gives that same adrenalin rush and which is so intense.
"You put so much effort into winning, it is physically exhausting."

Continental Grand Prix 4000 Race Tyres
For the coloured GP 4000 tyres, the activated silica compound improves the handling at stability limits and gives great rolling resistance. The anti-tear formula in the rubber compound prevents tread brittleness while increasing mileage performance. Xirallic colours give your machine a look of stylish elegance.
The extra special thing about the GP 4000 and GP 4000S is their puncture protection made from Vectran liquid crystal fibres.
The patented Vectran Breaker reconciles the conflicting goals of low weight, low rolling resistance and top puncture and cut resistance in a fascinating manner. The Vectran fluid crystals fibres were developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries. The material is extremly tear and cut resistant and is also flexible. It retains these properties even under constant stress - as opposed to Aramide.

Obama administration officials recently met with a controversial Muslim cleric at the White House.
Abdallah bin Bayyah is vice president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, a group founded by Egyptian cleric Yusuf Qaradawi.
Qaradawi is considered the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and he's called for killing Jews and Americans.
He's also been banned from entering the United States.
The IUMS is an outspoken supporter of Hamas and in the past has called for the destruction of Israel and resistance to American troops in Iraq.
According to the investigative project on terrorism, Bayyah met with National Security Officials at the White House on June 13. He reportedly urged the administration to give more support to the rebels in Syria.
The White House confirmed the report and said it reached out to bin Bayyah because he spoke out against al Qaeda.

ALBANY – The Brooklyn Democratic assemblyman found by a state ethics agency to have engaged in a disturbing pattern of sexually harassing female staff members should resign or be expelled, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Thursday.
Late Thursday night, Silver released a statement saying he is beginning the formal process of trying to remove Lopez from the Assembly. Silver "intends to draft and introduce a resolution" today, according to the statement, "to be voted on Monday, to ask the Ethics & Guidance Committee to consider the full [Joint Commission on Professional Ethics] report and to recommend appropriate sanctions including expulsion" of Lopez.
The governor, in his criticisms of Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, stopped short of joining others who are calling for action against Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, who a special prosecutor said oversaw an internal process of the Lopez matter that was concerned first about damage control and less about the female employees of the Assembly.
"As the executive, it's not my place to say who the speaker should be," Cuomo told reporters. But he said the way the Assembly handled the Lopez scandal – including a secret, $103,000 taxpayer-funded settlement to two women and not turning the matter immediately over to the Ethics Committee to investigate – was wrong. Asked if he had specific criticisms of Silver, Cuomo said, "The way the Assembly handled it, yes." The governor said he did not know if the poor handling of the matter was by Silver or others in the Assembly.
The Staten Island district attorney, Daniel M. Donovan Jr., said Wednesday he would not bring criminal charges against Lopez. But he was sharply critical of how Silver handled the episode, saying internal rules for such allegations were not followed. Silver has said that he made mistakes by approving a secret settlement and that no such deals will be allowed in the future.
As for Lopez, Cuomo said, "I believe he should resign. If he doesn't resign, the body should expel him. I think they should make a statement that says we do not tolerate this in our house." He called it a "disturbing episode" but cautioned that there are "magnitudes of differences" between what Lopez allegedly did to four of his female employees and what Silver may have done in the case.
The sole female member of the Assembly's Democratic conference from the Buffalo area said she is unhappy with Silver's resolution of the Lopez case. "I'm disappointed in the way he handled it, but I respect the fact that he acknowledged his mistake," Assemblywoman Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes, D-Buffalo, said of Silver's statement last year that the Lopez matter was mishandled. With six weeks to go in the legislative session, she said, it is unlikely that a new leadership vote would be successful. "Whether or not something happens before we start a new session, I don't know, and I think it will be more of a decision of Shelly than the conference electing new leadership," she said.
Asked why, she said, "I think most of the people have accepted his apologies for handling the situation in the wrong way."
New York Common Cause called on the Assembly to hold a leadership vote in public to decide whether Silver, the Assembly leader for two decades, should continue. Susan Lerner, the group's executive director, said statements and reports issued Wednesday by the special prosecutor and a state ethics agency made clear that the Assembly's Democratic leadership "took every measure possible to avoid engaging in a proper investigation with its own sexual-harassment procedures in order to protect Vito Lopez."
"There was no confusion, merely a cover-up," Lerner said, and Silver needs to "provide justification for why he should continue" as speaker.

Alright, so I do not buy into the second law of thermodynamics hypothesis of weight gain as it pertains to the wrong level of scale within the multi-scalar system that we call an organism (think molecular vs. the body itself). Anyway, just out of curiosity, however, what is the best online calculator to estimate one's energy needs. I've googled a few and had some unreliable results. A young stud like me, who is moderately active at 23, has had numbers anywhere between 2500 and 2900. As delicious as it sounds, I like internal consistency so I'm curious to see which calculator (or formula) will give me the most accurate calculations.
Here it is, your moment of zen.
It's a no brainer: The journal of the cerebelum
Have you tried: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/?
It does BMI and BMR. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
Once you have your BMR you use the Harris Benedict Formula for your daily calorie needs. For example my BMR is 1556.35 calories. If I was very active very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) I would multiply that by 1.725 to get 2685. Extreme active I would multiply by 1.9. But since my current sport is channel surfing I use 1.2.

text: DATE=10/28/1999 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=IRAQ OPPOSITION TRAINING - L NUMBER=2-255574 BYLINE=JIM RANDLE DATELINE=PENTAGON CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: The U-S military is set to start training some members of the Iraqi opposition to Saddam Hussein next week. V-O-A's Jim Randle reports from the Pentagon, where officials say the classes are small and the training academic - for the time being. TEXT: Air Force officials say four members of the opposition to Saddam Hussein are set to begin training next week at a U-S Air Force Special Operations school in Florida. Major Thomas Hudd says that rather than creating skilled warriors, instructors will focus on the problems of organizing a military force in an emerging state, relations between military and civilian officials, and human rights concerns. /// Hudd Act /// Jumping out of airplanes and things like that - that is military training. This is an education. This is schoolhouse, and the courses we teach here are basically academic background. /// End Act /// Pentagon officials say they plan to train more members of the Iraqi opposition in the future, and they do not rule out future classes in war-fighting skills. The U-S military is also making two million dollars in surplus equipment available to the Iraqi opposition, though for the time being it consists of office supplies instead of weapons. While the effort appears small so far, it represents a big change from previous policy that saw the Pentagon keeping its distance from the fractious opposition groups that want to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The program is the first visible step toward complying with a law passed by the Republican-dominated U-S Congress that requires the Pentagon to promote opposition Saddam's regime by providing nearly 100 million dollars in surplus military equipment to seven opposition groups designated by the President.

Two environmentally conscious organizations in Michigan have chosen to install the Duro-Last® Cool Zone® roofing system on their facilities in order to meet high-quality sustainability standards and to qualify for LEED® certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Submarine cable could link Ulster to America
Published 24/09/2008
Northern Ireland's telecommunications network could get a massive boost when a submarine cable is brought ashore.
US-owned Hibernia Atlantic has expressed a vested interest in linking Northern Ireland directly to north America via an existing cable.
Hibernia currently runs two cables from north America to Europe — one of which services Dublin.
The network is currently in place in the ocean, just 24kms off the North Antrim coast.
Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO of Hibernia Atlantic, said the company is hoping to expand its existing network into Northern Ireland.
"It would be very expensive to build a new direct submarine cable between Northern Ireland and the US and our northern cable network is already in place," Mr Thorvardarson said.
"It would make it so much more interesting if there was a direct telecommunications cable."
The need for a direct connectivity link between Northern Ireland and the rest of the world has already been identified by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment.
Mr Thorvardarson revealed that the company has earmarked the Causeway Coast area as the best place to bring its existing cable ashore if it goes ahead with the plans.

Love, Literature and Solitude Link Mutually Admiring Authors Raymond Carver and Tess Gallagher
Gallagher's devotion is not solely unselfish. "I don't want to move from here," she says. And well she mightn't. The peaceful, small-town life that Gallagher, 46, shares with Raymond Carver, 48, her collaborator in literature and love, has greatly nurtured both. His short story collections, including Cathedral, a Pulitzer Prize nominee in 1983, have earned the New York Times's praise as "among the masterpieces of American fiction." She has attained major literary status as the author of four volumes of poetry, the latest of which, Amplitude, will be published this month. Their partnership has lasted through nine years and 15 books, but lacks a marriage certificate. "We're sort of married without a piece of paper," says Carver. "We've talked about getting married, but things are going just swell, so we don't think about it."
Considered the dean of minimalist fiction, Raymond Carver paints a rough and disconsolate literary landscape where people struggle to get by in menial, meaningless jobs. Under Gallagher's influence, however, he has been experimenting more and more with poetry, and this year published his fifth collection of verse, Ultramarine. In her poetry Tess Gallagher weaves a world of lost souls in a small-town muddle of damaged relationships and missed dreams. But under Carver's influence, she has shifted more and more to short stories. Her 1986 prose collection, The Lover of Horses, was lauded by the critics.
Carver is the more famous, but at home their status is equal, and their work and lives are closely intertwined. "Living with Ray is the next best thing to having a double," says Gallagher. "There are two of you, and each understands so intimately what the other person is doing. You have to have someone who will tell you the truth of what you did, someone who won't fool you, who knows what your best is and when you haven't gone as far as you can."
Close as they are, Carver and Gallagher are a two-home household. He spends his days alone in his wood-frame house overlooking the sawmill at the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. At dawn, sometimes earlier, he is at work in his book-lined study. All day and well into the night he relentlessly revises, in tiny, cramped longhand, sometimes laboring through 30 drafts of a poem or short story before finally typing it. He wages this battle with his lady's favor at hand—a globe sitting on the bookshelf behind his desk.
"I got him the world for Valentine's Day," Gallagher chuckles.
She lives and toils two miles away, on the outskirts of town in a modern, airy one-bedroom house she designed. Until two years ago Carver shared it with her, but, he says, "One house was too small for two working writers." While he is agonizing away in his place, she is at her typewriter in a glass-walled alcove of her "skyhouse," writing or gazing at the ships passing along the same strait that her soul mate looks down upon. At her side hangs a poster from a bullfight in Juárez, Mexico, where Carver took her on their first date.
Carver is still likely to be agonizing over adjectives when Tess quits her typewriter in midafternoon. "I'm steadier in my habits than Ray," she claims. After knocking off, she peruses the mail, then "I call Ray to see what he got. I think his mail is more exciting." When he is going through a particularly demanding writing period, they live apart for as much as a week at a time, talking only on the phone. In mellower times they meet at one house or the other for meals and the evening. Both of them find this unusual living arrangement congenial and their partnership rewarding.
"Having been with Tess as long as I have," says Carver, "I can't imagine living with someone who was not a writer and not understanding of what a writer requires."
Their relationship began, naturally, over books. After spending some time with Gallagher at a 1978 writers' conference at the University of Texas, where he was teaching at the time, Carver was impressed. "I had never known anyone who had knocked around even more than I had," he says, "but it seemed that every place I had not been she had been." That year she was traveling the country on a Guggenheim fellowship, and after moving on from Texas, "I wrote him every day. I just knew that if I didn't keep his attention, somebody would get this wonderful man."
They joined forces at Gallagher's parents' home in Port Angeles for Christmas that year. Soon after, they built the woodlands house that she now lives in.
Rootedness was new to them both. Carver grew up in Yakima, Wash., where his alcoholic father filed saw blades for a lumber mill. Right out of high school Carver married a local girl and fathered two children. He went on to an English degree at Humboldt State University in Areata, Calif., got a grant to the Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa, then moved his family around the West while he worked as a janitor, truck driver and tulip picker. Then he landed teaching jobs at the University of California at Santa Cruz and at Berkeley and started writing. But he was hitting the bottle more often than the typewriter.
"I was really careening out of control," he recalls. "I was teaching drunk."
By the time he met Gallagher, Carver was in the midst of getting a divorce and was shakily sober. "I was glad to be alive, that's all," he says. "I wasn't writing anything, and it didn't matter to me really. I'd been brain dead for a long time from drinking." Gallagher understood his plight. Her father, a Port Angeles logger, had also struggled with alcoholism, but she remained close to both her parents. After graduating from the University of Washington in 1967, she had submitted her poetry to The New Yorker, "which took a poem called 'Breasts.' I was shocked. I had sent it almost to aggravate them." It led nowhere. She spent the next five years moving from one military base to the next with Larry Gallagher, an Air Force pilot whom she had married in 1963. Divorced after five years, she later enrolled at the Iowa Writers Workshop, where she met and married poet Michael Burkhard. That marriage broke up in 1974, and Tess took up the itinerant life of a teacher-poet.
Since meeting, Gallagher and Carver say, they have each changed. "Ray never had a home for any length of time before me," she says. Says he: "It's important to me to have my own place. For many years I worked at the kitchen table or in a library carrel or else out of my car. This room of my own is a luxury and a necessity now."
Still, they both like a change now and then. Gallagher is teaching writing at New York's Syracuse University, where Carver writes and "hangs out." It helps that in 1983 he was awarded a $35,000 annual stipend for five years from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
Both see their current lives as a literary mandate. Sitting in Carver's living room one day, Gallagher reminds him of a note he received about his poem "To Tess." "It said, 'Lucky woman,' " she says, laughing. She means it might just as well have read, "Lucky man."

ESCAP Emphasizes Governance and Water Management for Sustainable Water Resources
5 July 2011: In a statement to the fourth Singapore International Water Week, Noeleen Heyzer, Executive Secretary, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), emphasized that sound governance is crucial for the sustainable management of water resources that are threatened by pollution, natural disasters and climate change.
Addressing the South-East Asia Water Ministers Forum, which kicked off Singapore International Water Week, on 4 July 2011, in Singapore, Heyzer also noted that overcoming water-related challenges requires an understanding of the principles of water management, as well as the adoption of new practices that integrate a global approach and bridge the gap between urban and rural areas, and that water scarcity is a constraint to inclusive and sustainable development in the subregion. She emphasized that growing water scarcity is a constraint to inclusive and sustainable development in the subregion and that water shortages in the dry season, made more severe because of climate change, could affect economic growth and progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Finally, she underscored the importance of green growth and the role of ESCAP as a key driver for regional cooperation in water resources management. [UN News]

text: Building and ground vibration is the unwanted effects of heavy transportation such as lorries and trains, pile-driving equipment and large machines such as heavy-duty compressors.When discussing building and ground vibration attention must be given to the mounting techniques for vibration transducers and the instrumentation used if meaningful measurements are to be made. The vibration transducer mountings employed for the measurement of ground and building vibration depend largely on the nature of the problem and in particular whether it is one of possible damage or annoyance. The investigation will often be concerned with annoyance which will occur at much lower levels than damage to the building and hence measurements will usually be taken inside the building at the point of entry to the human body.The Guide to the Evaluation of Human Exposure to Vibration in Buildings requires that the measurement should be made in three perpendicular directions on a building structure surface supporting the human body; the worst case result is then used. The vibration should be measured in terms of VDV (Vibration Dose Value) or RMS (Root Mean Squared) acceleration levels with frequency-weighting curves for each of the three measurement directions.

Suicide Prevention Walk Planned for March 10 at UMM
MACHIAS, Maine – Students at the University of Maine at Machias are planning an Out of the Darkness Community Walk for Saturday, March 10 to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Registration for the walk begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Reynolds Center Gymnasium and the walk starts at 9 a.m.
According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a person dies by suicide in the United States every 15 minutes, claiming more than 36,000 lives each year. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for college students, and the third for youth ages 15-24, with adolescent depression as the number one cause.
The walk is sponsored by the 100% Society and Counseling Center at UMM along with Hannaford, Machias Savings Bank, and Atlantic Mental Health Center. All funds raised will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for use in the Machias community.
For more information, contact event chairperson Dustin Foss at 598-6848 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Learn more about Out of the Darkness Community Walks by visiting www.outofthedarkness.org.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee's effort to teach financial literacy skills to young people has gotten it a top grade among the states.
According to the state treasurer's office, the Center for Financial Literacy at Champlain College in Burlington, Vt., recently ranked every state on its efforts to provide financial literacy education to high school students.
Tennessee was one of only seven states that received a grade of A. The center says 60% of states got grades of C or less, with 44% having failing grades of D or F. The states getting an A are Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.
Those getting a B are Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia.
Those getting a C are Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin.
Those getting a D are Florida, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wyoming.
Those getting an F are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Washington.
The center is a partnership among financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies to promote financial literacy.
The center praised Tennessee for a number of its initiatives, including the incorporation of personal finance topics into the state's instructional guidelines for grades K-12 and the requirement that students be given assessment tests on financial literacy.

Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said she has little faith in the current mental health system to rehabilitate people like Alice Boland to the point where the 28-year-old never will try to kill someone again.
But Wilson, who leads the 9th Judicial Circuit Solicitor's Office, vowed Wednesday to do everything in her power to prosecute Boland so that she either is imprisoned or sent away for substantial treatment.
Boland faces charges of attempted murder and various firearms violations after police said she showed up at Ashley Hall in downtown Charleston and tried to shoot an official at the private school. Her .22-caliber pistol didn't go off because no round was in the chamber.
Boland had bought the gun three days earlier, despite a history of mental illness. She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity after federal agents said she threatened to kill the president in 2005, but the charge later was dropped.
Even if Boland avoids conviction in the current case by being found not guilty for the same reason, Wilson said Boland would be treated until she is no longer a threat, can understand right from wrong and can seek treatment on her own. Wilson said she lacked trust in the state's system to achieve that in a case like Boland's.
She said she supports legislation that would make it more difficult for the mentally ill to buy a gun from a retailer, but that the focus should be on bolstering mental health care rather than gun laws.
"I'm not confident" in the system, she said. "But even when someone is sick, there are consequences."
At least one state expert regarded Wilson's comment as unfair and pointed to an example in which a killer was reformed to become a contributing member of society.
Debbie Blalock, executive director of the Charleston Dorchester Mental Health Center, said she welcomed the discussion about mental health care, but that the state's system is superior to others nationwide.
She cited the case of Lloyd Hale, a killer who was treated and now serves as a peer-support specialist at the center.
"If I had a family member who needed care, I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else," Blalock said. "I don't think anywhere else can do what we can do."
Boland's mother has been critical of the treatment that her daughter was subjected to in the past federal case. She has said that treatment should employ more natural therapies than the antipsychotic drugs that can cause harmful side effects.
Reached Wednesday, Delann Boland said her lawyer had issued strict orders not to respond to any questions from the media.
"We cannot comment at this point," she said. "It's a very big issue."
Wilson's first move in her quest will be to step aside and let federal authorities have the first opportunity to prosecute the Beaufort woman accused in a case that has captured national headlines and inspired legislation regarding the mentally ill and firearms.
Grand juries have indicted Boland on four federal charges and five counts on the state level. The state charges carry higher maximum penalties because they include more serious felonies.
Boland's public defenders in both courts, as well as Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Kittrell, have declined to discuss the case.
Wilson said she called a news conference Wednesday to explain the process through which experts will examine Boland's competency to participate in the judicial process.
The solicitor will first let the federal system make that determination and allow those charges to play out. U.S. Department of Justice policy makes it difficult, she said, for federal prosecutors to pursue a case against someone already tried on the state level for the same incident.
The task of evaluating Boland now rests in the hands of a federal prison hospital in North Carolina.
Wilson said she would consider the federal findings for use in her office's prosecution, but it could be more than a year before the case is heard in state court.
In the meantime, she said, prosecutors have gathered more information from the Charleston Police Department, which investigated the case, and have conducted their own interviews.
"Beyond that," Wilson said, "we're standing down until it's our turn to go."
CLARIFICATION: Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said during a news conference Wednesday that she lacks confidence in the state's ability to rehabilitate a mentally ill person accused of a crime, such as Alice Boland, to the point where that person won't try to commit the crime again. The first sentence of this story was adjusted to clarify that. In revising her comments Thursday, Wilson said she has little faith in the state's ability to prevent others from doing the same thing because of the funding struggles that the mental health care system must deal with.

"Z's played way better here of late, does way more battling, skating way better,'' Babcock said. "So is that due to (new linemate Valtteri Filppula), or is that just the determination of Z?''
Probably a little of both. And when Sidney Crosby is tossed into the mix, Zetterberg's determination and intensity are raised to an even higher level. The same can be said about Crosby's blood pressure.
Zetterberg, flashing his playoff MVP form of 2008, scored two goals and added an assist, all the while blanketing and frustrating Crosby, as the Red Wings defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 at Joe Louis Arena in a clash between the Stanley Cup finalists in each of the past two seasons.
"Always when you play against a good player, it's fun, because it's not just defense, you play a lot of offense, too,'' Zetterberg said. "It's a good battle, and I think we both enjoy it.''
Crosby didn't seem to have fun, especially near the final buzzer. He cross-checked and slashed Zetterberg several times in front of the Detroit net, leading to a melee. Todd Bertuzzi and then goaltender Jimmy Howard rushed in and roughed it up with Crosby.
"We were battling and then after the whistle, Howie came and rescued me,'' Zetterberg said.
Said Howard of Crosby: "He does that stuff all the time. Somehow he gets away with it.''
Zetterberg's line has been dominant the past two games. Filppula had a goal and an assist and Bertuzzi contributed a pair of assists. Nicklas Lidstrom also had two assists.
The Red Wings had good jump after traveling back from the West Coast on Sunday. They played with only 10 forwards for the second consecutive game with Dan Cleary (pulled groin) and Patrick Eaves (sore neck, back) out.
The short bench didn't matter, as Detroit improved to 9-2-1 in its past 12 games and moved four points ahead of Calgary for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Crosby, who was booed every time he touched the puck and serenaded with chants of "Crosby sucks!,'' was held without a point, in large part because of Zetterberg.
"We're doing a great job as a five-man unit,'' Zetterberg said. "We have to minimize his ice, be on him all the time. He's a good player when he has the puck. The more you play against him, the more you get used to playing against him.''
Crosby praised Zetterberg's defense. Sort of.
"There are lots of guys who play tough. There are a lot of guys who don't have (Brian) Rafalski and Lidstrom on the back end, either,'' Crosby said. "He competes hard. We both do.
"We have pride in our games. When there's any of those rivalry games, it's pretty natural for guys to be competitive and even raise their game.''
The Penguins played without Evgeni Malkin, last season's Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP, because of a foot injury.
Holding a precarious 2-1 lead, Zetterberg delivered a huge goal just 1:20 into the third period off a harmless-looking rush, firing a wrist shot from the slot past Marc-Andre Fleury.
Filppula scored the only goal in the first period, firing a wrist shot through Sergei Gonchar's skates and beating Fleury on the blocker side with 56 seconds remaining.
Zetterberg made it 2-0 at 7:38 of the second period. He took a pass in the corner from Lidstrom, cut in front of the net and flipped in the rebound of his own shot while Bertuzzi was in Fleury's face.
"He's playing aggressive, he's getting in there and taking over the play right now,'' Bertuzzi said. "He's carrying the puck, he's got his room, he's skating well. When you got him and Pavel (Datsyuk), a one-two punch going that fast and that good, it's unbeatable.''
Pascal Dupuis cut the lead to 2-1 at 16:54. But that's all the Penguins could muster.
"They played hard from start to finish,'' Fleury said. "That's the Detroit we're used to seeing from last year. It seems they wanted it more than we did tonight.''

Acclaimed filmmaker Atom Egoyan (Exotica, The Sweet Hereafter) is directing The Spoleto Festivals production of Feng Yi Ting, a Chinese opera composed by Guo Wenjing, that made its American premiere Sunday.
Based on historical events, the opera follows the beautiful maiden Diao Chan (soprano Shen Tiemei) as she manipulates two rival suitors.
The Post and Courier spoke with Egoyan about encountering Eastern cultures and the process of directing Feng Yi Ting. What follows are highlights from the full interview, which appears online in audio and transcript form.
Q: Is this the first time youve worked with a project thats so inherently grounded in Chinese culture?
A: Yes. Ive really never immersed myself in a piece of Chinese mythology. The learning curve is extraordinary. I actually think its one of the best theatrical experiences Ive ever had because its an unusual piece. Ive never been remotely close to the world of Chinese opera. I dont think many people here have.
Q: I know that in traditional Chinese opera, the female roles were traditionally played by male actors. Is that the case with Feng Yi Ting as well?
A: As a matter of fact, what people might find surprising is that the male voice is actually falsetto. Thats its closest Western equivalent. When I first heard it I thought there were two women singing. Now, whats interesting is that Ive heard the vocal range before in Armenian folk music, where you also have these very high almost nasal sounds. Theres something artificial about it, but very haunting as well, especially when combined with the gestures and the dance of it all. Have you seen Chinese opera in Beijing?
Q: I went to one ... its such a distinct type of performance. There really is no Western equivalent that I can think of.
A: No, and one of the things that I found disturbing when I was watching archival videos is that its very simply presented. I mean, the costumes are elaborate, the gestures are elaborate, but from a staging perspective its very broadly lit.
Q: A lot of your work frequently explores that paradox of female sexuality and how women can be both victims of sexual oppression while also exercising their own sexual power. How did that theme influence how you chose to direct Feng Yi Ting?
A: I think youve just sort of said what the whole opera is about.
Q: It seems appropriate that you would use a lot of projection and multimedia in your approach to Feng Yi Ting just because thats a common theme of your work, that idea that technology influences how we approach history.
A: In this case theres a clash. Im using a kind of ancient projection system in terms of shadow play, in contrast to our very advanced computer generated approaches to the subtitling and other aspects. So its all to do with this notion of the two traditions confronting each other and creating a new space.
Q: Youve said that film directing is a much lonelier discipline than directing plays for theater. Where does opera fall into the mix in terms of the loneliness of your responsibilities?
A: I think its even more collective than traditional theater because youre also working with musicians of course, and a conductor, and were all part of this huge soup. The alchemy between all of these different components is something that were immediately aware of as were exploring. Theres no different take to select, theres no way of cutting it internally so that youre avoiding things. Its all present on stage and thats what makes it so exciting. Thats what makes the live performance of theater and opera something that will never really diminish in our culture, even though cinema arguably is in decline and were now watching things on iPads were not as engaged, were not as concentrated on the projected image as we used to be by any means and thats disheartening. But on the other hand, I walk into a theater, I go, Wow, Im connected to a tradition that goes back to ancient Greece.
Q: Because, as you mentioned, people are becoming so disconnected from film due to all these technological shifts, do you find yourself drawn more to theater and operatic projects? It seems like for the past few years thats what youve mainly focused on.
A: I love film. Its really whats given me these opportunities. I have no illusions about that. If I wasnt well-known as a film director I wouldnt have had these opportunities come my way. And yet I began in theater. I was doing plays in school and when I was in my late teens, early twenties, I thought that was my career, that I would be writing plays and directing plays. So to come back to it now has been really satisfying. Its incredibly nourishing having contact with these other artists and musicians. And all sorts of group gradations and all sorts of recalibrations are at work in every live performance, every rehearsal. Thats unique to the theatrical form.
