Have you noticed the the out-of-state license plates around the county? I have. I have spotted them mostly in Warren, mostly on heavy-duty trucks. The plates are from Texas, Oklahoma and more than usual from New York. It has to be due to the shale developments that are coming.
I thought I would round up some headlines from across the country as they relate to shale and gas and oil drilling. Here are a few by The Associated Press from Ohio and other places:
Oct. 3: Airline to cancel federal subsidy for N.D. airport
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - An airline that for two decades has received federal subsidies to fly to a small North Dakota city says it no longer needs taxpayer help because the oil boom in the area has made the service self-sufficient.
Great Lakes Aviation will stop collecting a $2 million annual subsidy for its flights to Dickinson when the current federal contract expires on Feb. 1, spokeswoman Monica Taylor-Lee told The Associated Press on Monday.
"We will continue to provide service without subsidies," Taylor-Lee said.
In just six years, North Dakota has risen from the nation's ninth-leading oil producer to No. 2 behind Texas, with advanced horizontal drilling techniques in the rich Bakken shale and Three Forks formations in the western part of the state.
Only 3,722 boarded airplanes in Dickinson in 1993, the first year of service by the air carrier, Taylor-Lee said. The Dickinson airport had about 19,000 boardings last year and has recorded about 17,000 boardings through August, she said.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A state judge invalidated Binghamton's two-year moratorium on natural gas drilling, marking the first time a local law that would ban or delay hydraulic fracturing in New York has been struck down.
State Supreme Court Justice Ferris D. Lebous became the latest New York judge to weigh in on local bans or moratoriums Tuesday, ruling that the city law approved December 2011 failed to meet the standards of a properly enacted moratorium. Lebous said the city never established that there was a "dire emergency" regarding a practice that is still not allowed in New York.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration is considering whether to allow natural gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a process involving the injection of wells with chemically treated water that is denounced by many environmentalists.
Oct. 4: By CARL E. FEATHER of the Ashtabula Star Beacon
Down in Jefferson County, where Ed Looman is executive director of the Progress Alliance, 1,200 new jobs were created in seven months this year. And that job wave is headed north to Ashtabula County.
Looman, along with Nathan Paskey of the county's Soil and Water District Office, and David Marrison of the county's OSU Extension Office, were speakers for the October Profiles Breakfast, held at KSU Wednesday.
The topic, Ohio shale gas exploration and its implications for the county, was a hot one, drawing what may have been the largest crowd ever to a Profiles Breakfast, about 150 people.
Paskey addressed the environmental issues related to the hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," method of gas drilling. He said that whenever stories of water contamination from this process are presented, the geology of the area where the contamination occurred must be taken into consideration.
Paskey said that Ashtabula County's water table is very shallow. Further, there are large layers of either shale or sandstone between the water and the area of exploration.
"We have a huge buffer," he said.
Oct. 5: Property owners sue over gas drilling waste wells
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A group of residents in Independence and Faulkner counties are suing three natural gas drilling companies, claiming that waste fluids are improperly being pumped underneath land the companies don't own or lease.
An amended version of the lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Little Rock, adding several plaintiffs and two of the drilling companies. The lawsuit seeks class status for affected landowners living above the gas-rich Fayetteville Shale formation in central Arkansas.
Houston-based Southwestern Energy Co. was the only company named in the original version of the lawsuit, which was filed in August. Southwestern Energy filed a motion to dismiss the original suit, arguing the plaintiffs didn't show they had a claim.
Added to the amended version were Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. and Fort Worth, Texas-based XTO Energy Inc.
The plaintiffs, led by Robbie and Gwenna Hill of Quitman, argue that fluid that's injected at disposal sites is migrating beneath their property as it fills cavities in porous rock deep below the surface.
Oct. 5: Governor unveils new energy policy for Conn.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Friday unveiled an energy policy that promotes increased use of natural gas and improved energy efficiency.
Malloy, who rolled out the new policy in a speech in Cromwell to the state's largest business group, tied together the environment, energy and the economy. Policy makers can make the state more competitive for business by cutting the cost of electricity for homes and businesses, he said.
"The most dramatic element of this strategy is the opportunity presented to us by the increased supply of low-cost domestic natural gas," the Democratic governor said at the Connecticut Business & Industry Association.
Weekend of OCT. 6-7: Owner guides N.D. company to oil industry merger
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) - When Mark Johnsrud bought PowerFuels in 2005, he employed 40 people.
Today, the Watford City-based oil services company has more than 1,100 workers, and Johnsrud expects to close on a multimillion dollar merger this year that will make him the CEO and majority shareholder of a publicly traded company, Heckmann Corp.
Dick Heckmann, who will serve as executive chairman of Heckmann Corp., gives Johnsrud a lot of credit for seeing the needs of North Dakota's oil industry and having the skills to manage the company that grew rapidly with the boom.
"I think that he saw the shale development coming before virtually anybody else did on the service side," Heckman said. "He had the guts to borrow the money from the bank and put his money where his mouth was."
The services that PowerFuels provides include hauling crude oil ; hauling, storing and disposing of fluids used in hydraulic fracturing or fracking and renting oil field equipment.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - A North Dakota geologist says an earthquake in the western oil patch is not connected to hydraulic fracturing.
The Friday quake about 11 miles southeast of Williston registered at magnitude 3.3 - enough to be felt but not strong enough to cause damage.
Geologist Fred Anderson with the state Mineral Resources Department tells The Bismarck Tribune that the quake was consistent with historical seismic activity in the region. He says speculation that oil field fracking might have caused it isn't plausible.
Sept. 26: Report criticizes Pa. gas drilling enforcement
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pennsylvania regulators aren't inspecting tens of thousands of oil and gas wells even once a year, a new report says. But state officials say they're inspecting most new wells in the Marcellus Shale region, which is the right place to focus.
The report issued Tuesday by Earthworks, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit, found that more than 66,000 active wells weren't inspected by the Department of Environmental Protection last year, and that many companies cited for violations aren't punished.
DEP spokeswoman Katherine Gresh said in a statement that the agency inspected 78 percent of newer shale gas wells last year, and that older conventional wells usually operate for decades without problems. She said that failing to note the major differences between old and new wells "is comparing apples to oranges and misleading the public."
Our next issue of the newpaper's Shale Play publication comes out on Thursday. Remember, they are free and available at newstands in the Valley.

The Dorchester County Sheriff's Office today reminded teens and their parents that with prom season comes underage alcohol and drug abuse.
Traffic Enforcement units and other local and state agencies will crack down on traffic violations to ensure the safety of prom-goers and others on the road, Sheriff's Maj. John Garrison said.
Deputies will target drivers who violate traffic laws including driving under the influence, failure to yield to the right of way and disregarding traffic signals.
The Sheriff's Office hopes to prevent a night of celebration from turning into a tragedy, Garrison said.

There are so many reasons. First, you can make your undergraduate education go so much further by participating in research. Just think — you won't be just sitting in class, reading and preparing for tests. Getting involved in research makes your undergraduate research come alive. And in the process of getting involved in research, you're almost guaranteed to learn something about the subject you're studying. After all, that's the main purpose of research — to acquire new knowledge. When you do research, you are creating new knowledge in a diverse community that includes other undergraduates, graduate students, faculty members and those in industry. Research is a great way to learn about your subject area, as well as learn about theories and issues that scholars and professionals encounter every day. Doing research will also make you an informed consumer of the research that you come across. And, perhaps most of all, research will make you more prepared for life after getting your degree, whether that is seeking full-time employment or pursuing graduate school. Either way, conducting research will give you a head start among your peers.
Name: Emiria Soendjojo
Major: Food Science
Emeria worked on research that analyzed the safety of produce from grocery stores and farmers' markets. She offers other undergraduate researchers this advice: "Make sure to organize and record every method, source, and piece of data. Seriously, literally write down everything you do because it will be really helpful when it comes to the writing part."

Bigger establishment, usually better benefits
August 15, 2000
Employers' outlays for benefits, both in dollar amounts and as a percent of total compensation, increase with establishment size. There are some benefits, however, in which employees of small establishments are roughly as likely to participate as are employees of medium and large establishments.
As an example of the more generous benefits in larger companies, about 12 percent of workers in establishments with fewer than 100 employees participated in a defined-benefit pension plan. The corresponding figure among workers in medium and large establishments was almost 4 times as great at 45 percent. Other benefits in which employees of larger plants were at least twice as likely to participate included military leave, long-term disability insurance, dental insurance, and unpaid family leave. (These benefits are shown in blue in the chart.)
There were some benefits in which employees of larger and smaller establishments participated at about the same rates. Examples included paid family leave, medical care, vacations, holidays, and sick leave.
These data are the products of the Employee Benefit Survey and the Employment Cost Trends program. Read more about benefit participation in "Private Sector Employee Benefits, 1996-97" (PDF 38K), by Ann C. Foster, Compensation and Working Conditions, Summer 2000.

Do These 10 Songs Have Hidden Childbirth Meaning?Danielle
Ever listen to a song and think to yourself — damn, it sounds like they were talking about childbirth, or even labor, when they wrote that song?
I get that a lot — or at least looking for alternative meaning in the simplest songs. With all the strange musicians out there today I would not be surprised at all!
When I was pregnant with Addison I went back into my archives for a hysterical play list I used when I was in labor with my middle son, Benjamin and shared it with the readers on Being Pregnant. A lot of the readers there got a great laugh!
Now that I am no longer pregnant and don't plan on expecting any time soon it is hysterical to look back on the songs and think of all the different subliminal messages in the midst of these popular hits.
Feel free to share the songs you have caught hidden meaning in as well!
This could totally make for a fun discussion!

I would like to experiment with pipes or device modules which ever is
best. I want one pipe (for example) to read a string from another and write
the string. Kinda not good for anything but it's a learning experience. One
pipe would have to write and another read. Or would this be done better with
device modules? I what to use the system calls not the kernel its self.

Why do teeth become stained and dull?
Pigmented foods and drinks, especially berries, red wine, black tea, and coffee will gradually stain your teeth. Lifestyle choices, such as smoking, poor at-home oral care or avoiding regular dental visits affect the health and appearance of our teeth. Aging also plays a role as the enamel slowly thins out, revealing the yellow dentin layer beneath it. Some people simply have teeth that are slightly more yellow.
What is the Zoom!2 Whitening System?
The ZOOM!2 Teeth Whitening System is a highly effective in-office tooth whitening system. First, a peroxide bleaching gel is applied to the teeth. The gel is activated by a mercury metal halide light to enhance the whitening effect. Teeth are whitened in about one hour. Zoom!2 whitening is ideal for anyone seeking immediate and dramatic tooth whitening results.
Is Zoom!2 tooth whitening safe?
Yes, it is very safe and is one of the most popular methods for quickly and effectively whitening teeth. The whitening gel used is a more highly concentrated form of the peroxide used in many store-bought whitening systems.
For your safety, your oral tissues will be protected during the procedure using a dental dam, a rubber device that creates a barrier between the whitening gel and your gums. The dental dam ensures the whitening gel is applied only to your teeth and will not come in contact with your gums, and it prevents accidental swallowing of any gel.
What results can I expect?
You can expect the Zoom!2 Whitening System to whiten your teeth six to eight shades. For individuals who cannot achieve a satisfactory level of whiteness with Zoom!2 whitening, due to deep stains or other dental issues, porcelain veneers are an effective alternative.
Will my teeth stay white forever after the Zoom!2 procedure?
Food, drink, lifestyle, genetics, medications and aging all play a part in dulling the natural beauty and whiteness of our teeth. At Exceptional Dentistry, we provide custom-fitted whitening trays for convenient, at-home use. You can freshen the whiteness level of your smile whenever you wish using these whitening trays along with a special prescription bleaching gel.
Occasionally, you may wish to repeat the Zoom!2 whitening procedure in our office to reinforce a bright smile.
Does tooth whitening hurt?
The Zoom!2 whitening treatment is typically painless. Some individuals experience varying degrees of tooth sensitivity to hot and cold food and drinks for several hours or days following the treatment. This side effect is known as thermal sensitivity, and may be reduced with the application of a fluoride treatment after the whitening procedure.
Our dentists recommend brushing your teeth with non-abrasive toothpaste designed especially for sensitive teeth for several weeks prior to and after the procedure to reduce post-treatment sensitivity.
If tooth whitening sounds right for you, please call 563-556-2711 or email our cosmetic dentistry office, serving the communities of Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, Iowa, and Galena, Illinois.

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter led off the first inning of tonight's game against the Chicago White Sox, doubling with a hard-hit ground ball down the third-base line.
The hit was the 3,185th of Jeter's career, which pushed him ahead of Cal Ripken Jr.
Ripken released a statement congratulating Jeter on the accolade, saying: "Congratulations to Derek on passing me on the all-time hits list. Derek has been such a special player for such a long time, and I am happy to see him continue to play at a high level. He represents the game and the Yankees wonderfully, and I hope that he continues to play and continues to give all of us baseball fans great memories."

FLORENCE, Ala. — The speed limit in Zip City is a modest 45 mph. Burnout has a volunteer fire department.
Welcome to the strange world of community names.
Whether you're staying Active or Hopeful, feeling Normal or Cluttsville, or striving for Equality or Reform — many communities and some towns across Alabama have head-scratching names.
Unusual Alabama community names have caused visitors to chuckle and townsfolk to defend the likes of Boar Tush, Hicks, Intercourse, Nymph and Pansey, to name a few.
Some town and community names can even get edgier — Crackpot (United Kingdom), Ballplay (Tennessee), Titty Ho (United Kingdom) and Zip Down (Pennsylvania) come to mind.
Alabama has 462 incorporated towns, a sliver of the 19,495 cities and towns tabulated by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2007. In many cases, however, unusual names come from the hundreds of unincorporated communities with no political structure, as is the case with Zip City, Burnout and Buzzard Roost — three unincorporated communities in northwest Alabama.
One of the most complete sources of information on local town and community names comes from "The Place Names of Colbert and Lauderdale Counties, Alabama" — a dissertation written by Sandra Sockwell for her Ph.D. in the English department at the University of Alabama in 1985.
The two-volume, nearly 700-page work catalogues towns, communities, churches, roads, ponds - nearly any geographic feature named by man. The account comes from public records and interviews with old-timers.
Sockwell called the study of community and town names "a branch of linguistics that I got interested in."
The names project was the brainchild of Virginia Foscue, who in 1988 published "Place Names in Alabama."
During one summer, Sockwell and her daughter navigated the two counties, looking over dusty records of commission meetings and interviewing elders in the community.
What do the names tell her about the area?
"How unimaginative we are," Sockwell said with a laugh. "We were working-class, ordinary people who faced a lot of hardships and they weren't very fanciful with their names."
One of her favorites is Zip City, "about as imaginative and fanciful that you get around here," she said.
Another favorite: Needmore, an older reference of the Seven Points area in Florence, which was not included in the book but a reference to "need more customers, need more traffic."
The origin of some place names likely will remain a mystery. Colbert County used to be a portion of Franklin County, but a fire in the Franklin County Courthouse destroyed all land records in 1890, according to Sockwell's account.
Zip City, north of Florence in Lauderdale County, is a community settled in 1817, by Sockwell's account.
"Though settled early, the name itself was not created until the automobile age, circa 1920s," she writes.
The story goes that when alcoholic beverages could not be sold in Florence, residents drove along Chisholm Road to the Alabama-Tennessee line where liquor was legal. Cars would zip along the road — hence the community name.
Barbara Keeton has a different take.
The owner of the community's remaining retail store, P and K Western Store, Keeton said the name came during the Prohibition era when smugglers ran moonshine through the community during the night at high speeds to avoid the police.
The community used to have two grocery stores and a cotton gin, according to Keeton, who was born and raised in Zip City.
Now, "we are downtown Zip City," joked Carrie Keeton, who now runs the store. "If you don't come to P and K, you've missed it."
Zip City is one of several communities featured in "Passing Gas: And Other Towns along the American Highway," a book of photos and essays by Gary Gladstone.
Alongside the Zip City entry are Fearnot, Pa., and Boogertown, N.C.
The 2003 book, along with a 2002 song by the Drive By Truckers, popularized Zip City to the point of international status.
Visitors from California, Italy and South Africa have visited P and K, all because of the town's name.
Two Italian men read about the community, visited and asked Carrie Keeton to have their pictures taken in front of the store.
Gladstone, the author, even made bumper stickers for the store: "We visited Zip City, Alabama, USA - One of America's Finest Towns."
Now, the unincorporated "town" has an empty gas station and an antiques store for sale, plus a new subdivision and several homes.
The Keetons praise the Zip City Volunteer Fire Department for saving the store during an electrical fire in November.
"If it wasn't for the fire department, it would have all gone down," Barbara Keeton said.
The store features jeans, western shirts and cowboy boots of cowhide, lizard, eel and even elephant. The building is now alongside its former site.
At least one oddly named community rankled residents so much that they successfully lobbied to have its name changed. Cloverdale used to be called Rawhide "because of the tannery owned and operated there by Jonathan Paulk," Sockwell's account states. "A newcomer from Ohio whose friends and relatives objected to addressing letters to such a place circulated a petition for a name change," so Cloverdale appeared on the map around 1890.
Deceased Florence historian William McDonald gave a slightly different account in his 1997 "A Walk Through the Past."
"One popular story about this name change involves a young girl believed to have been either Lavenia or Mary South, daughters of Wash and Mattie South," McDonald wrote.
"This young lady, according to legend, was so inspired by the beautiful clover blossoming along the roadsides in Rawhide that she wrote a song entitled 'Cloverdale.' Thus, a petition was circulated among the community and the people agreed to change the name from Rawhide to Cloverdale."
The stories behind community names can be unexpected. Buzzard Roost in western Colbert County got its name for the travelers' stand on the Natchez Trace by Levi Colbert, the county namesake.
At one point, Buzzard Roost had a stage stand, post office and "was the center of social life in the area," Sockwell writes.
Members of the Burnout Halltown Volunteer Fire Department in Franklin County see the irony in the name of their station, but they don't mind.
"Everybody is used to it and nobody wants to change it," said Forby Collum, 75, a volunteer firefighter who was born and raised in the community of about 400 households.
"I've heard other people say there should be other places called Burnout," added Roger Puckett, assistant fire chief for the Burnout Halltown Volunteer Fire Department, which handles fire calls within a five-mile radius of Burnout.
Collum remembers when Burnout had a store, egg farm and water grist. Only the grist remains and it's not in operation.
Now the community has the two-ladder volunteer fire department, a water tower, homes and Burnout Missionary Baptist Church, the source of the mysterious name.
Chris Ozbirn, archivist with the Franklin County Archives, said nearly 15 years ago a 92-year-old man at the Russellville Public Library said the name came about during the Civil War era.
A group of Union soldiers stopped at a little church a few miles from nearby Red Bay, which derived its name from the combination of its red soil and bay trees.
During the night, one soldier kicked over a lantern and burned the church.
The community built another church and named it Burnout.
"I thought, 'Hey, that sounds good to me,' " Ozbirn said of the unverifiable story.
The story also is recounted by the Missionary Baptist Association, which adds that an effort to keep the original Little Bear Creek name was unsuccessful. The current Burnout church was built in 1945 and includes a cemetery.
When asked about the origin of the Burnout name, most residents said they didn't know.
"Huh, I didn't know that," said Gary Williams, fire chief for Burnout, while looking over a historical account from the Missionary Baptist Association.
When asked whether Burnout was unincorporated like Belgreen, a community next door, Puckett replied "no" with a laugh, adding, "Well, Belgreen's got a school, so they're one up on us."

text: Home > Policy Issues > Interchange Merchant MYTH of the Day Print Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Google Email Add to Favorites Interchange Merchant MYTH of the Day Page ContentInterchange Merchant MYTH of the Day May 27, 2011 Myth: Gas stations lose money because of debit interchange rates. Fact: Gas stations save money because of payment cards, which allow them to operate 24/7 with zero employees and enjoy a huge reduction in personnel costs. They also save by having less cash on hand. The costs associated with handling, counting, auditing and accounting cash are real. Less cash also means a reduced risk of theft and employee fraud. Will they pass along the savings? Fat chance. It will go into their bottom line. Read more. May 26, 2011 Myth: Interchange rates have skyrocketed in recent years. Fact: Debit interchange rates have stayed steady over the last 5 years (rising only 1.6%). The small increase is 1 penny on a $50 transaction. However, the number and type of retailers and businesses that accept cards has exploded in recent years, as has debit card usage. The rise in total interchange fees paid is because the volume of sales transactions has increased. The revenue it generates is used to pay for fraud protection for a card payment system that can handle as many as 10,000 transactions per second. Read more. May 25, 2011 Myth: Retailers want the U.S. to adopt "Chip and PIN" technology. Fact: Many retailers, especially small retailers, don't want Chip and PIN technology adopted in the U.S. because it is too pricey and is not the "silver bullet" some imagine. Chip and PIN technology could be a helpful anti-fraud tool, but it does not prevent online fraud, and in order for it to work effectively every merchant would have to pay for a new card reader or pay to upgrade their existing reader. This is very unlikely considering that only 25% of merchants today accept PIN transactions (without the chip) mainly because they don't want to pay for the costs of the terminals.As the Michael's data breach shows, merchants need to do a better job of protecting the personal information of their customers and should be working with the banks to better protect data and prevent fraud, instead of trying to undercut those efforts by capping interchange rates. Ironically, even if Chip and PIN technology was the best anti-fraud tool, the Fed's rule caps debit card interchange fees at such a low level - without including anti-fraud expenses - there would be very little money, or incentive for card issuers to undertake the massive effort and expense of putting Chip and PIN in place. Read more. May 24, 2011 Myth: The Canadian debit system is superior to our debit card system. Fact: Canadian merchants may not pay interchange fees when they accept debit cards, but consumers ultimately pay more for their cards and get less in return. They are charged monthly service fees for their checking accounts and they pay an additional charge on each transaction beyond a set number of free transactions. Merchants can also make customers pay a surcharge every time they use their card. What's more, Canadian debit cards cannot be used outside North America, cannot be used online in most cases or by telephone and do not provide "zero liability" coverage for consumers. These limitations are not the mark of a superior system. On the contrary, they have stifled further investment and the Canadian system is quickly becoming outdated. Americans don't want a stunted debit card system – that's one import we can do without. Read more. May 20, 2011 Myth: Merchant's pay all costs for security breaches such as those at Michael's and Sony PlayStation. Fact: Merchants may have been responsible for the fraud, but banks wind up paying for it. Banks get no compensation for re-issuing cards, monitoring accounts or the resulting fraud losses from counterfeit cards created with breached data. Interchange fees help cover the costs of fraud losses and fraud prevention. Read more about fraud prevention. May 16, 2011 Myth: Merchants have no choice but to charge more for gas because of interchange fees. Fact: Merchants have a choice – they can offer people cash discounts and avoid interchange, and consumers get lower prices to boot. The reality: in most instances, gas stations charge the higher price, get the benefit of the incredible value that debit cards provide them, and try to blame someone else for the high price of gas. Plain and simple: gas prices are high because the price of gas from gas wholesalers is high – it has nothing to do with interchange. Read more. May 12, 2011Myth: Debit card interchange fees are responsible for high gas prices. Fact: Don't fall for it. Anyone driving by a gas station these days can see prices go up literally overnight, yet retailers claim they can't raise prices fast enough to keep pace and are making less money. Interchange isn't the problem. In fact, what retailers can charge on a gallon of gas is fixed by contract with their suppliers -- the huge oil companies that sell of gasoline. The companies are making huge profits, an estimated $38 billion last quarter alone, but retailer profits are limited by contract -- not interchange. Click here to see why the current debit card system works. April 27, 2011 Myth: Small businesses will benefit from the Fed's debit interchange price controls. Fact: Most small businesses will receive little -- if any -- benefit from the cap.According to a recent Consumer Impact Study, small businesses are not likely to see large or quick decreases in the amount they pay for interchange since many have little debit card volume, and most (about 75 percent) pay a "blended" interchange rate based on all debit, credit and prepaid card volume.The real beneficiaries of the Durbin interchange amendment are big-box retailers, who will pocket bigger profits as banks are forced to provide them with debit services at below-cost, government-fixed prices. April 15, 2011 Myth: Accepting cash and checks is free. Fact: All forms of payment involve risks and costs – cash and checks are no different. Cash can be lost or stolen. Retailers must pay to bundle it, store it, transport it to the bank, and pay for someone to count it (and recount it) and make sure the cash in the register matches up with sales. Checks have to bundled and deposited at the bank and can be returned because they're fraudulent, counterfeit, or drawn on accounts with insufficient funds, leaving retailers to suffer the loss. With debit cards, banks take all the risk once the card is run at the register. Debit cards are the most efficient form of payment for retailers, saving as much as $1.65 over checks and $.39 over cash (see AEI-Brookings study). Retailers are misleading Congress in claiming that checks and cash are "free" to accept just so they can reap a windfall by claiming debit costs should be the same. The reality is that debit cards simply offer more and cost less. Read more. April 7, 2011 Myth: Retailers have no choice; they have to accept and pay for debit cards. Fact: Retailers are not forced to accept debit cards and can always choose to accept only cash or checks, as many do.They choose to accept debit cards because of the value they bring – they speed up check-out, result in higher sales, avoid losses from fraud and counterfeiting, and are convenient to customers.What's more under current rules, retailers can offer discounts for customers who pay with cash or checks. This allows customers to choose whether they wish to pay a little more for the convenience of using their debit card and allows the retailer to avoid paying debit interchange fees.Some retailers (like gas stations) do offer discounts, but the fact that many don't indicates that it is in their interest not to and that the price of accepting debit cards is appropriate for the benefits that debit card acceptance brings. Read more about how the debit interchange system works. April 6, 2011 Myth: Consumers will benefit from the Fed's debit interchange price control. Fact: Despite retailers' claims that government mandated price caps will allow them to reduce prices for consumers, nothing in the law compels them to and it is not clear they will.In fact, Home Depot's CFO recently said she expects the price caps to benefit Home Depot to the tune of $35 million per year. She said nothing about passing that benefit on to customers. The director of government affairs for Sears said in an e-mail that the interchange rule should not be delayed because it will prevent retailers from pocketing an extra $1 billion per month. Again, she made no mention of passing savings on to consumers.Even if retailers do pass savings on, the penny or two savings on a box of cereal pales in comparison to the use that banks can make of the same money to drive economic recovery. For every $1 of lost capital at a bank, it means $10 of reduced lending capacity – that's a lot of capital that isn't being used to help small businesses grow and generate jobs. Read more about the impact of interchange price controls. April 5, 2011 Myth: Banks under $10 billion will not be impacted by the debit interchange price controls. Fact: The so-called "carve-out" for banks with fewer than $10 billion in assets will not work and cannot be made to work because having two different prices for the exact same product is not sustainable. Market share will always flow to the lowest priced product. The price cap proposed by the Federal Reserve is so low that it creates enormous economic incentives for retailers – especially big box stores – to adopt strategies to favor the cards with lower interchange rates. Simply put, the result for small banks is either losing customer accounts to the large banks or a loss of revenue that supports free checking and other valuable services, or both. Ask yourself – can community banks really survive in a marketplace where they're the highest-priced provider in town? This is too big a risk to take – Congress needs to ACT NOW to stop the Fed Rule and better understand the enormous harm it will cause to consumers, communities, and the community banks that serve them. Read more. April 4, 2011 Myth: Congress has fully explored the impact of regulating debit interchange. Fact: The Durbin amendment was never the subject of any Congressional hearings and there have been no studies on debit interchange. Congress has never fully considered the impact that debit interchange regulation will have on low- and moderate-income consumers or the cost of basic banking services for everyday Americans, nor did it do any before-the-fact analysis of the impact on community banks and government benefits programs (despite the purported exemptions). The Durbin amendment was attached at the 11th hour on the Senate floor and has no relation to other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Congress should stop the Federal Reserve's interchange rule. Read more. March 31, 2011 Myth: Retailers "lose" money on interchange. Fact: Consumers are choosing debit cards over other forms of payment more than ever. Debit cards now make up 27 percent of all transactions and total use of debit cards has grown roughly 700 percent since 1998. Merchant acceptance of debit cards brings with it faster checkout times, increased customer base, reduced losses from fraudulent checks or theft of cash, and reduced labor costs. Debit cards are also cheaper than checks or cash to process, saving merchants 30-35 cents over checks and 7-20 cents over cash, per transaction. All this means merchants that accept debit cards ultimately benefit from higher sales volume, which increases merchant revenue and profits. Read more. March 30, 2011 Myth: Retailers pay for 100 percent of debit card fraud. Fact: Banks pay for most debit card fraud. Just ask the Federal Reserve (See p. 81741 at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-32061.pdf.) As long as they obtain authorization and don't make any errors in processing, retailers are guaranteed payment every time a customer uses his or her debit card at the register. Compare this to fraudulent checks, which may result in 100% loss for the retailer. The fraud losses absorbed by banks simply reduce the losses the merchants would have otherwise suffered. Read more.

Candidate for IACP Fourth Vice President
Terry Cunningham
y name is Terry Cunningham, and I am pleased to be running as your candidate for IACP fourth vice president. I serve as chief of police in Wellesley, Massachusetts—a bedroom community just west of Boston, which is host to three large universities.
If you're like me, you think being a police officer is one of the greatest jobs on earth and that being a chief is a leadership challenge unmatched by most professions. I am proud of my 30 years of experience in policing, including my service as chief for the past 12 years. During my career in professional policing, I have strived to serve as a leader in the law enforcement community, most notably through my tenure as president of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association (MCOPA) in 2009, as vice president for four years before that, and as chairman of the MCOPA Legislative Committee for the past eight years. I am also the Massachusetts representative to the Division of State Associations of Chiefs of Police (SACOP).
Like many of you, I am a graduate of the FBI National Academy, and I have continuously honed my leadership skills by attending programs such as the Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar (LEEDS) program in Quantico, Virginia; and Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government's Executive Education Program. I hold both a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Northeastern University and a master's degree.
I bring to this new challenge a variety of experiences that have made me the chief I am today. I have been involved in almost every assignment the job has to offer. I have been in uniformed patrol and worked as a patrol sergeant, a detective sergeant, a detective lieutenant, a deputy chief, and a chief. I have been an academy instructor, commanded a regional special weapons and tactics team comprising 45 agencies in the metro Boston area, and supervised a regional narcotics enforcement unit.
So that's who I am, and here's what I think. You see, I'm a believer. In the words of Bill Bratton, I believe that copsmatter. I believe that it is not just difficult but, rather, impossible to reinvigorate an impoverished neighborhood or improve the quality of life in a community without the committed and full engagement of the police. It is not lost on me why in a time of economic turmoil, crime continues to decline. Of course it does! As stewards of our communities, police officers have learned what we need to do to make our streets safe, and we hire people who can make that happen. I am proud to be a part of a law enforcement generation that hires officers who are better educated than ourpredecessors and offers unprecedented quality training opportunities. It is equally exciting to witness our embracing technology not only to solve crimes and document our performance but also to push that information out externally through the use of social media to our communities. This does not involve our websites only anymore; it involves Facebook, Twitter, mobile applications, and other tools. We have become much more transparent in our policing, and this is beneficial for all of us.
It seems obvious to me that officer safety must remain of paramount importance. The year 2011 was one of the deadliest years in law enforcement history. According to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund, in 2011, 163 police officers lost their lives nationwide, at a startling 34 percent increase over 2009. As police leaders, we understand that it is our responsibility to provide officers with the best training and equipment available to ensure their safety in the face of the numerous and varied threats they confront each and every day. As such, we must remain committed and invested to IACP's SafeShield initiative.
Additionally, I fully support the IACP's continuing fight for the creation of a National Criminal Justice Commission. Ithas been 43 years since the Johnson Commission completed its work and recommended changes to our industry, which revolutionized our profession. It is unimaginable that our profession has no comprehensive strategic plan, on a national level, to recalibrate how we can utilize our dwindling resources. Our communities rely and depend on us to reduce crime and fight terrorism. The creation of the national commission is imperative to this mission.
As fourth vice president of the IACP, I give you my word that I will always uphold the values of our profession and make ethically based decisions. I will work to maintain the U.S. government's focus on solutions that affect the safety and security of our constituents and our families. I promise to work hard and vigorously represent your views. I have done this in my community and in my home state. My record speaks for itself.
In closing, the ideals of leadership are sometimes a scarce commodity in our society, but they are common within the men and women of law enforcement. This is why I am honored to be considered for this position. Thank you for what you do every day! God Speed! ♦

The Devils face the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night at Mellon Arena. Here are three things to watch:
1. Wrath of the coach. Brent Sutter vented his anger at the team after a fifth straight loss. Will his words sink in or are the Devils destined to drop a sixth in a row? This game will tell a lot about where the Devils are headed.
2. Playing without Patrik. A muscle injury in his leg will sideline left winger Patrik Elias. He said he was limited during the loss to the Rangers. Against the high-powered Penguins, the Devils can use all the offensive firepower they can muster.
3. High-flying Penguins. They are 14-2-3 since Dan Bylsma replaced Michel Therrien as coach Feb. 15. Only the Carolina Hurricanes have more points during that period. The Pens may be the best team in the Eastern Conference right now, a real challenge for a struggling Devils club.

Joint Implementation (JI) is a project-based mechanism of Kyoto Protocol, which can be reciprocally used by industrialized countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
The emissions credits generated from those climate activities can be deployed by participating parties in order to comply with their emission reduction targets or can be retailed to other industrialized countries.
At the same time the aim of the JI projects is to deliver sustainable development and to supply innovative technological solutions to industrialized countries. JI projects are allowed to be registered for the first time from 2008.
The mechanism comprises two objectives, namely the generation of tradable emission credits (so-called Emission Reduction Units – ERUs), which provide in return revenue streams and transfer of environmentally friendly technologies.
Find out more about JI in the SETatWork main website

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
The purpose of photosynthesis is to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose.
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
The purpose of cellular respiration is to convert the energy stored in glucose to ATP.
What is the goal of glycolysis?
The goal of glycolysis is to split up glucose and take its electrons to use later.
Explain why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are considered complimentary processes.
The products in once process become the reactants in the other and that's why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complimentary.
How is the H+ gradient established in the ETC?
The H+ gradient is created when electrons are transported down a chain.
What is the goal of the Kreb's cycle?
The goal of the Kreb's cycle is for more electrons to be gathered for later.
What is the goal of ETC?
The goal of ETC is to transport electrons down a chain to create a H+ gradient and use H+ to make ATP.
Three steps of cellular respiration.

(Editor's note: The following is an unedited press release from the candidate's campaign. We have blogged this item in order to give MassLive users the ability to comment.)
The hiring of Dr. Ingram.
Before Dr. Ingram was hired, I had concerns about the hiring process. I thought back then, Jim Huge and Associates had not done a proper job of advertising for this position. I complained to a number of people, the mayor, the head of the FCB and to members of the FCB like James Morton. I also had several conversation with Jim Huge and Henry Thomas about why I thought we were being offered under qualified candidates. To some degree I was intrigued at having a retired military person run the schools, but at the time I wasn't aware of the Broad Fellowship or the true nature of their relationship with Ingram.
Since then I have learned that Jim Huge actively works for and with the Broad Fellowship and Academy. That it was no mistake that Dr. Ingram was chosen, he was a Broad Fellow. To my understanding, Dr. Ingram had 22 years in the Air Force and 5 years in education prior to being picked to lead the Springfield Public Schools. I have more years experience in education and held a superintendent's license before Dr. Ingram.
I have brought this issue up a number of times with school committee members and they say its not an issue, but how can it not be? There is a clear conflict of interest for someone to get paid by two groups to find leaders and benefit both. Jim Huge was paid by the City of Springfield and the Broad Fellowship and to my knowledge only Broad Fellows were picked to be interviewed.
I have been told that school committee members signed agreements not to criticize the Broad Fellowship, Foundation or Dr. Ingram. I have asked on several occasions for information about payments made to Jim Huge and Associates as well as the Broad Fellowship and still have not received a response.
It is possible that Ingram's salary was bumped up hire because of the relationship that the Broad Fellowship and Jim Huge had with the FCB, but we can never know for sure until the truth sees the light of day.
Two links, the first is an anti Broad Fellowship, which provides good, but questionable information.
And the Broad Website.

Lehigh University's very own Edward Avery McIlhenny, born in 1872, was a Louisiana businessman, who had a father with a spicy idea. The McIlhenny family, led by Edward McIlhenny, Edward Avery's father, created Tabasco hot sauce and founded the Tabasco sauce company, McIlhenny Company, in the mid-1860s.
McIlhenny enrolled at Lehigh and joined the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. McIlhenny dropped out of school, however, to join an arctic expedition as an ornithologist with explorer and physician, Frederick Cook. After his expedition to Point Barrow, Alaska, where he helped rescue over a hundred fleet sailors, McIlhenny returned to Louisiana to assume leadership of the McIlhenny Company. McIlhenny was responsible for overseeing the production of Tabasco sauce as the president of the company until his death, 51 years later.
According to Tabasco's website, Tabasco sauce comes from capsicum frutescens pepper seeds, which were sowed and nurtured on Avery Island. Edward McIlhenny saw that there was a blandness to Southern food and wanted to create a pepper sauce to bring some flavor and spice to the diet. The process for making Tabasco sauce began with mixing crushed peppers and Avery Island salt and letting it sit for 30 days. Then, the mixture is blended with vinegar, and aged for another 30 days. The process is still the same to this day and it is still made on Avery Island, with a descendant of McIlhenny running the company.
During McIlhenny's presidency of the company, he expanded, standardized and modernized hot sauce production and discovered new ways for promoting the product, such as advertising on the radio. Not only did McIlhenny change the original cork-top Tabasco sauce bottle to the modern screw top, he also redesigned the world-famous Tabasco diamond logo, which is the version known today.
McIlhenny was also a conversationalist who made huge impacts over his lifetime. In 1895, he founded the Bird City Wildfowl Refuge on Avery Island, which helped save the snowy egret from extinction. He used his knowledge to write books about wildlife and operated a farm on Avery Island for nutria, which is commonly known as the river rat. This made him the first to release and import nutria into Louisiana and the wild.
McIlhenny passed away in 1949, three years after suffering from a debilitating stroke and is buried on Avery Island, La., the heart of Tabasco sauce. Although McIlhenny did not officially graduate with a Lehigh degree, he is still a notable former student.
