Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Installed these in an 82 S-10, and combined with some H4 led bulbs, they look great! Just wish the description had mentioned that bulbs were sold separately. I found out when they arrived, so I had to wait a few more days on led bulbs, but no worries. Definitely gives the truck an updated look!

Albion College defensive linemen Jason Bajas, C.J. Carroll, and Jacob Heinrich are on a mission to change the perception of accountants from pocket protecting, pencil sharpening, adding machine punching, tax preparing workers in a cubicle to tough guys who are smart, too.
The three 'tough' economics and management majors with an emphasis in accounting have helped Albion's defense rank first in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association in rushing defense – the Britons are yielding a shade more than 100 yards a game on the ground – and sacks. In addition to stopping opponents, Carroll and Heinrich were nominees for Capital One Academic All-America consideration in voting by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
"When people think of accountants, they think of a guy with glasses and tie who is sitting behind a desk crunching numbers," Heinrich, a Rochester Hills native who completed an internship with PriceWaterhouseCoopers in Detroit last spring and has accepted a full-time offer from the firm, said. "There were comments made (about my size during the internship). People would say, 'You're big. You must play football.' It was a conversation starter."
The ability to start a conversation, it turns out, is critical as accountants need to have good communication skills to be effective.
"In public accounting you are going out, meeting people, talking to your clients, preparing financial statements and it's a lot different from what people picture," Carroll, a junior from Warren who started his collegiate career at linebacker before moving up to a position as a down lineman this season. "Accountants have to ask clients how they got these numbers, where they came from, and then check to determine if those numbers are right."
The Albion Advantage helps students realize their professional goals through thoughtful integration of academic and experience-based learning opportunities, and Carroll took advantage of on-campus recruiting events to line up an internship that will keep him off campus for the first half of the spring semester.
While he expects the internship to challenge him by introducing him to diverse individuals and long hours, Carroll said he'll continue to develop his football skills on the side.
"I hope to lift after work," Carroll said. "I want to keep getting stronger as I prepare for next year because the transition to the defensive line has gone really well. I feel like I'm maximizing my potential."
Heinrich, who plans to pursue a career as a certified public accountant, said the long hours required during his internship – a typical day lasted from 9 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. – left him mentally exhausted, but he relished the experience so much that it cemented his career choice and the desk work also gave Heinrich some time to heal after dislocating an elbow last season.
"I'm used to physical abuse after playing football for 13 years, but there were days I left the office totally drained," Heinrich said. "I had never experienced that type of feeling from sitting behind a desk doing work."
Economics and management majors can count on having daily homework assignments, but an additional challenge is to keep pace with changing rules that govern the field.
"My freshman year we were being taught one standard and by toward the end of the academic year we shifted to the international standard," Bajas, a senior from Livonia who is in his first year as a starter on the defensive line, said. "We are always going to be learning because there is always going to be something better coming out.
"The parallel between accounting and playing on the defensive line is that you have to react to what you see," he added. "You can't go into a situation thinking you know what's going to happen."
Bajas and Heinrich are roommates and while they enjoy being part of the Briton program and playing video games off the field, they credit economics & management professors John Bedient and Gaylord Smith for leading them on their career paths.
"I knew I wanted to do something in business when I came to Albion, but once I took Accounting 211 (I was hooked)," Bajas said. "Gaylord was my teacher, and John is my adviser, and they got me interested in it by showing me what an emphasis in accounting could lead to."

If a pedophile chooses to adopt a child that is of a sex they are not attracted to they aren't likely to have to deal with the same issues as a pedophile who chooses to adopt a child of the same sex that they are attracted.

CSAC Says There Was More Than Ice Water Flowing Through Cavalcante's Veins During His Last Bout
Defense exhibit I: You can clearly see Feijao's teammate slipping him something behind his back. Don't waste your time, Feijao, it's been tried before. (Photo: MMAJunkie.com)
If Dana White has been hexed with an "Injury Curse", surely someone has placed a "Banned Substance Pox" on poor Scott Coker. After losing two stars in Cyborg Santos and Muhammed Lawal to failed drug tests earlier this year, he'll now likely have to soldier on without the services of former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight champion Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante.
As first tweeted by Gabriel Montoya and reported by MMAFighting.com [thanks for doing the heavy lifting, guys], the California State Athletic Commission has suspended 'Feijao' for one year and fined him $2,500 after testing positive for a banned substance following his quick destruction of Mike Kyle last month at "Strikeforce: Barnett vs Cormier". 'Feijao' stunned Kyle with a big knee in the opening moments of the bout then swarmed him with ground and pound before pulling guard, sinking in a guillotine choke, and drawing the tap—all in a cool 33 seconds.
CSAC's George Dodd has yet to reveal which banned substance Cavalcante was popped for, but his manager, Ed Soares, isn't buying it…Read More DIGG THIS

Top 10 Business Debacles Of 2007
Maybe we're just getting better at the job but it seems like the debacles this year were bigger and more scandalous than last year. Every time we turned around, there was another deadly product or breach of consumer rights or act of malfeasance. Here's our roundup of the top 10 worst moments in business this year…
10. VerizonFiOs Setting People's Houses On Fire
Verizon's new fiber optic cable network is blazingly fast, but their technicians can't be accused of the same swiftness as they keep drilling through customer's electrical lines and gas lines, leading to small fires. In an effort to put out the PR blaze, the Verizon Policy Blog always seemed to find a way to spin each story into a tale of how wonderful and in-demand their new network is. The phrase goes, "where there's smoke, there's fire," yet Verizon's PR mavens felt they could reinvent physics and claim that the smoke at some of the incidents occurred in the absence of fire. (Link to stories)
9. Comcast Throttles Bit Torrent
Though long suspected on tech-oriented sites, the internets went into a frenzy after the AP proved that Comcast was disrupting the traffic of customers using popular file-sharing program BitTorrent, preventing its use. Though often used to trade pirated movies and music, the software is used by popular online game World of Warcraft and open-source groups to distribute new versions of their software, and in the AP's case, the decidedly non-copyrighted Bible. Comcast denied disrupting BitTorrent traffic, but said that they reserved the right to manage their network. (Link to stories).
8. E.Coli In The Meat Kills Topps Meat Company
Late 2007 saw an extremely high number of meat shipments recalled for e.coli contamination. At Topps Meat, the recall was so massive that the company went bankrupt carrying it out. Insiders say the USDA's ineffectuality and meatpacker-friendly loopholes have lead to higher tolerances for e.coli at plants. When the meat tests too high for e.coli, meatpackers only have to slap a "Cook Only" label on to and still get to sell it without reporting it to the USDA. Quoth Fast Food Nation, "There's shit in the meat." Medium-rare no longer looks so appetizing. (Link to stories).
7. Best Buy Caught Stealing Porn From Customer's Computers
Following up on insider tip-offs of systematic porn pilfering, The Consumerist rigged a computer to make a video of itself, loaded it with porn, and it took it Best Buy. On video, we caught one of the techs purloining porn from our computer. The video went viral and Best Buy conducted a nationwide internal investigation, outsourced to ex-cops. Kids were interrogated. Kids were fired. Store hard drive were searched and seized. Pants were shat. According to some reports, most of the worst "porn caches," communal computers where employees swapped porn, movies, music, and documents taken from customer harddrives, somehow managed to escape being hooked up for remote review. (Link to story).
6. Student Loan Scandal
Attorneys General sued and fined prominent banks and universities after uncovering widespread collusion and conflicts of interest between the two to sell college students on high-priced student loans. One of the techniques was to give students a "preferred lenders" list, which is to say, the private institutions the university preferred you to use because it meant kickbacks, gifts and expense-paid trips for them in referral rewards. While they were being shuttled into expensive private loans, the students were often not informed of the array of Federal loans that should be exhausted first. Seems some universities slept through their own Intro to Ethics classes. (Link to stories).
5. Jet Blue Passengers Stuck On The Tarmac
A winter storm swamped discount airline Jet Blue's operating capacity, with planes grounded, passengers stuck on the tarmac for over four hours, flights canceled, call centers jammed, and thousands of passengers unable to reschedule their flights. The CEO initially won kudos for making an online video apology, but that, and his subsequent apologies upon apologies weren't enough to save his job. The airline has developed contingency plans for future fiascoes, including new "stranding policies" for passengers, which includes paying passengers if they're stuck inside a metal tube on a runaway for upwards of four hours and not given any food or allowed to disembark. The debacle helped galvanize a growing passenger's rights movement and spurred pro-passenger legislation in New York, legislation which the airlines then quickly moved to scuttle. (Link to stories).
4. TJMaxx's Largest Data Breach In History Of The Universe
Unsecured wireless systems at TJ Maxx lead to the largest data breach in the history of the universe, with millions of credit card numbers compromised. As is typical, the credit card companies and banks tried to keep everything as hush as possible and most customers only were curious as to why they and all their friends were getting their credit cards forcibly replaced. The issue highlighted how retailers have been quick to adopt the convenience of wireless information systems without taking the security measures to make sure they weren't also conveniencing potential thieves. Who would have thought you could conduct the world's greatest bank robbery without a note, gun, or even leaving the parking lot? (Link to stories).
3. Menu Foods Kills Pets With Fake Pet Food
Before there was lead, there was the counterfeit pet food. Menu Foods of Canada was found to be selling pet food tainted with fake protein. Swapping out the cheaper ingredients lined their and their suppliers' pockets, and the intestinal tracts of their customer's pets with poison, leaving dozens of pets dead. Consumers were livid. A massive recall ensued, and readers got their first glimpse into how Chinese ingredient makers get their contracts approved, only to later replace certain key ingredients with cheaper and sometimes fraudulent components, a practice that would come to be at the center of the massive lead recalls that were to come later that year. (Link to stories).
2. Mattel's Lead-Tainted Toy Recalls
Worries about children consuming lead were largely confined to jokes about avoiding eating paint chips on old houses, until Mattel was forced to conduct the largest toy recall ever after it was found a number of their toys contained lead well above the federally allowed toxicity levels. As parents, agencies, advocacy groups, and other manufacturers began scrutinizing products and supply chains, scores more products were recalled for high levels of lead. Congressional hearings were held and the story became a staple of local and national news broadcasts. It may not be until 20 years from now that we know the true impact, when we start wondering why national IQ levels have dropped 45 points. (Link to stories).
1. Sub-Prime Mortgage Meltdown
Housing prices stopped going up and banks stopped refinancing houses, pulling out the bottom blocks of the giant Jenga tower that was the housing frenzy. In fact, it was Jenga towers upon Jenga towers, with the mortgages being carved up and reshuffled until they looked like sensible investments. Now banks are washing out billions upon billions of losses, and homeowners across the country are worried about losing their homes. Everyone in the confederacy of dunces; homeowners, loan officers, credit agencies, banks, investment firms, stand to lose. Who will get stuck holding the hot potato? (Link to stories).

Welcome to the island Harry III, a little over one-year-old male black tiger kitten with double paws and a "purr that sounds like a Diesel engine," adopted by Ann Garnett from the Potter League for Animals. Two Harrys of similar appearance preceded the latest kitten. Ann said he is a great guy who's observing his new surroundings and is a great addition to the family.
The family includes two 10-yearold dogs – Rosie, a Keeshond, and Ruby, a black Lab. There are also three cats – Charlotte, 15; yellowcolored Banana, 10, who weighs 17 1/2 pounds; and Rudy Guliani, an 8-year-old brown tiger cat rescued from the World Trade Center right after 9/11. With the exception of Rudy, all the cats were adopted from the Potter League.

Thinking she was about to get plowed in after all her physical efforts, she retired to her house to rest. Returning outside to continue shoveling, she happily discovered the driveway was still clear and she had not been plowed in.
She called the Highway Department to thank the workers and was told the department was making every effort to keep the driveways clear.

The family of slain North Carolina teenager Phylicia Barnes is bracing themselves for a second grueling trial more than a year after a Baltimore judge tossed out a murder conviction of the man known to have last seen her.
Michael Johnson, 30, will get another chance to plead his innocence starting April 28, when he's scheduled to return to court to begin a new trial on second-degree murder charges for the death of the 16-year-old honor student from Monroe, near Charlotte.
The case has been postponed before and might be again. Johnson received new lawyers, public defenders, in February and they might seek more time to study the case. Calls to the attorneys were not returned.
Phylicia Barnes' father, Russell Barnes, plans to travel to Baltimore on Tuesday in anticipation of the trial and meet with prosecutors.
"It's been a journey," Russell Barnes said. "It's been a journey."
He is disappointed with the judge's decision granting a new trial. Barnes called it a "technicality." But he takes some comfort knowing Johnson remains in custody.
"He's not going anywhere. He's not going to get out," Russell Barnes said. "They know they have the right person."
Last year, Baltimore Circuit Judge Alfred Nance threw out Johnson's conviction on the second-degree murder charge, ruling that prosecutors withheld information from the defense about a key witness during the initial trial. Johnson's attorneys said prosecutors waited weeks to provide information that jailhouse information James McCray had lied about testifying in another unrelated case. McCray was the only person to testify that Johnson had said he killed Barnes.
Phylicia Barnes was to have graduated from Union Academy Charter School in Monroe but disappeared in December 2010 on a visit to her older half-sister in Baltimore. The search stoked a national debate about whether missing minority children receive less attention from the police and the press. Her body was found naked and floating in the Susquehanna River near the Conowingo Dam in Maryland four months later. Johnson, who dated Phylicia's half-sister Deena Barnes, was the last person known to have seen Phylicia.
As with the first trial, Russell Barnes plans to be in the courtroom every day. It will not be easy.
The first trial lasted seven days. It featured scandalous and difficult testimony, including a 16-minute explicit video that showed Johnson and Barnes naked. Deena Barnes gave tearful testimony that she let Barnes drink alcohol, smoke marijuana and spend the night in rooms with boys. Deena Barnes also testified Johnson had made a sexual advance toward the 16-year-old, including reaching for Phylicia's genitals.
Mark Cheshire, a spokesman for the Office of the State's Attorney for Baltimore City, declined to discuss an ongoing case. But he confirmed that it would be prosecuted by Assistant State's Attorneys Lisa Goldberg and Tonya LaPolla, who also prosecuted the first trial.
The Barnes family is hosting an online vigil on Tuesday encouraging friends and family to wear purple, Phylicia's favorite color, in her honor.

I recently spoke about ditching our Panasonic Lumix LX3 for the new Samsung TL350. The simple reason is the LX3 is not pocketable. To me, a non-pocketable camera doesn't really qualify as compact, especially for travel.
While my last review of the Samsung TL350 (WB2000) was theoretical, this one is hands-on. I won't spoil the ending, but I will say the LX3 is now on eBay and the TL350 is here, in my pocket, to stay.
I'll make a number of comparisons to the LX3 in this post, but keep in mind the LX3/LX5 costs twice as much and is twice as thick. So why the comparison? Because the LX3 is what I know and what I loved for everything but its size.
The TL350 (WB2000) has a lot of great features for its size. It has a fast lens (f2.4), wide range (24mm), good zoom (5x optical), shoots full-HD video (1080p), shoots high-speed video (to 1000fps), has a high-res AMOLED screen (3″) and it all fits in the pocket. On paper, it's almost the perfect pocketable travel camera.
After using the camera for a couple of weeks, it lives up to most of the advertising hype. The most notable exception is the high-speed shooting. The next step up from standard 30fps is 240fps, but that's at a much smaller resolution. So for me, it's not really useful. It's a mystery why 60fps isn't available.
Build & Body
The build is very good for a $250-$300 pocketable travel camera. It feels solid, it looks resilient, and the screen is absolutely gorgeous. It seems a little thicker than the advertised 22mm, but it's still pocketable to the point that I forget it's there. Without vernier calipers, it's hard to say how thick it is, but between 22-25mm.
Update: We went for a training run yesterday (for our impending trips to Peru and Mongolia) and I took the camera to record a training video. Well, while running up and down Mont Royal 3 times, and then running flat for a few kilometers, I totally forgot I had it, which shows it really is a compact camera.
There really don't seem to be any build quality issues at this stage.
Design & Features
I LOVE the retro dials for the battery and memory levels on top of the camera (see picture). Most reviewers lambasted Samsung for the redundancy of the dials, since battery and memory levels are available on-screen. But they create awareness so you don't unwittingly end up with dead batteries and full memory cards. Nice work Samsung.
There are two (very) obvious design flaws. Firstly, the revolutionary thumb wheel quite simply sucks. It allows you to flick between timing, burst and other photo modes. But the menu moves in the opposite direction to what's intuitive, and there's no feedback from the wheel so you always go too far past the desired setting (in the wrong direction of course). Poor form Samsung.
Secondly, if you hold the camera with two hands, you tend to cover the left-hand side microphone (see picture). I've looked at other stereo microphone compact cameras, and most are the same, but that's no excuse. With that said, these design flaws certainly aren't show stoppers.
Menu System
This is one area in which the TL350 beats the LX3 (in my opinion). The on-screen menu is really slick and easy to use (apart from the silly thumb wheel implementation). A lot is jammed into the menu, and it's noticeable, but not overwhelming. It seems that someone sat down and really gave it a lot of thought, regarding both form and function.
Best of all, since the initial setup, I haven't needed to venture into the main menu very much. I can access aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity, etc., all from other direct access options.
The TL350 has separate shutter and video record buttons. So you don't need to be in video mode to shoot video; you just press the video record button in any mode. And when you're taking video, you can even press the shutter button to take a picture simultaneously. The separate video button is great, but the in video photos are a bit of a novelty.
The zoom works well in photo mode, but it's too noisy to be useful in video mode. You can hear the feedback within videos, which is probably why the default setting for 'mute while zooming' is on.
Remember that the TL350 offers aperture and shutter priority, as well as full manual control. Very few cameras of the same size offer the level of manual control, as well as RAW file capture. All of these modes work well, and the circular dial on the back, unlike the thumb wheel, provides lots of feedback and makes setting adjustment a breeze.
Image Quality
Firstly, I'm only a photographer in the sense that I take photos. So I can only give you my subjective and uneducated opinion about image quality.
The LX3 took great photos. It was a huge step up from anything I'd ever owned. Moving down to the TL350 (WB2000), a camera with a much smaller sensor and slower lens, I expected a return to the bad ol' days.
But, in my hands, in everyday conditions, I believe I get better photos on average from the TL350. It maybe that the TL350 is in my pocket ready for more opportunities, or that I'm swayed by the look of photos on the gorgeous AMOLED display, or that it's processing unit is better suited to my absence of ability. Either way, I like what I see.
All of the photos within this post, except those of the camera itself, were taken with the TL350. (Apologies I don't have better daytime photos, but we haven't had a lot of opportunity.) And unlike my other posts, you can click on these to see the full-sized version. If you want me to take a particular type of shot, just say so in the comments.
The TL350 (WB2000) fits in my pocket and takes great photos. It also feels solid, is relatively easy to use, and for the most part, well designed. What more can I say than that? It's the best compact camera I've owned and, in my opinion, a very good travel camera. It would be even better with 60fps video, a GPS receiver, a better thumb wheel and a relocated microphone. But all in all, it does a great job for such a small and cheap camera.

Man in custody after two backpacks left near Boston Marathon finish lineBy MATT PEARCE
Los Angeles Times
April 15. 2014 9:35PM
On Tuesday evening -- the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings -- Boston police evacuated Boylston Street near the marathon's usual finish line and took an unidentified man into custody after two suspicious backpacks were left lying on the street.
Shortly before the evacuation, local media posted video of a barefoot male wearing a black veil and a floppy black hat marching toward the marathon's finish line carrying a large, heavy-looking backpack while shouting, "Boston strong! Boston strong!"
"Boston strong" is, of course, the slogan popularized after last year's April 15 bombings at the marathon, which killed three people and wounded at least 260; the two bombs used in that attack were pressure cookers concealed in backpacks.
Earlier Tuesday, the finish line had been packed with mourners marking the anniversary of the attack.
But as of Tuesday evening, police had cleared the site to examine the backpacks.
The bomb squad was on the scene, and police asked the news media not to show live images of the backpacks, citing officer safety.
After investigating, Boston police decided to safely blow up the bags "for precautionary reasons," according to a statement made on the police's Twitter account.
It was not immediately clear whether the bags contained any explosives.

Unconventional shale drilling, or fracking, has buoyed the economies and filled the coffers of eastern Ohio counties over the last couple of years. It also has brought high levels of vehicle traffic and new industrial plants to rural communities that depend almost entirely on volunteer fire departments with limited budgets and aging equipment.
Beth Whitmer had just come home from work when the scream of sirens and the rumble of 16 firetrucks broke the quiet evening at her home on Brussel Road NE.
In a field a half-mile away, flames were consuming a tanker truck at Rex Energy's Brace West well pad. A hill obscured Whitmer's view, but she knew something was burning.
"You could just see the orange glow above the trees," she said.
When firefighters came to Whitmer's home and said she could evacuate, she put three of her horses in a trailer, while her daughter saddled a fourth, and they sought shelter at a friend's house three miles down the road.
"We left right there. I wasn't taking any chances," said Whitmer, who is quick to say she sees drilling as an otherwise positive development.
After letting the fire burn down for 14 hours, firefighters extinguished the flames. The two wells never caught fire.
"Nobody got hurt, that's the main thing," Whitmer said.
The fire was the first in Carroll County involving a Utica Shale well site, and with at least 240 Utica wells drilled in the county and more on the way, it probably won't be the last.
Unconventional shale drilling, or fracking, has buoyed the economies and filled the coffers of eastern Ohio counties over the last couple of years. It also has brought high levels of vehicle traffic and new industrial plants to rural communities that depend almost entirely on volunteer fire departments with limited budgets and aging equipment.
The natural gas and oil industry has provided training to emergency services, but officials in the two most active Utica Shale counties say they need more equipment and money to keep pace with the boom.
"I got to stress it, Harrison and Carroll county got zero full-time fire departments," said Tom Cottis, Carroll's emergency management director. "Columbiana County's got East Liverpool and Salem. You go over to Jefferson County, you've got Steubenville. We're in the heart of it with three full-time, paid departments."
No county in Ohio has more Utica wells than Carroll, and Cottis can pinpoint the day drilling first affected local emergency services.
"We had our first call May 16, 2011," he said. "We had a frack truck roll over in the county and it's been snowballing ever since."
Just before an interview in late October for this story, Cottis responded to a tanker carrying hydrochloric acid that went off the road. Nothing spilled, but the incident underscored the challenges that come from the stream of Utica traffic converging on the county.
"I swear this is the truck capital of the world right now with all the water trucks and the sand trucks and the drilling trucks and the pickups that all these companies use to work on gas and oil exploration," Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said.
More vehicles and more people mean more accidents and more incident reports.
In 2011, when Utica drilling first started, the county had 444 traffic crashes and the sheriff's office handled 1,435 incident reports. Those numbers climbed to 535 traffic crashes and 1,540 incident reports in 2012.
This year, the statistics stand at 475 and 1,310 through October, and Williams said he expects the totals to surpass last year's.
Not only are more vehicles on the road, they are now larger, meaning more severe accidents, and more trucks are carrying hazardous loads.
The Carroll County Emergency Management Agency does annual traffic surveys of the hazardous materials coming through the county. In 2004, there were six trucks on one stretch of road during an 8-hour shift, Cottis said.
"We did that same section of road this past year and in four hours we were up to 80 trucks," he said.
The county has seen a couple of "nuisance spills," such as drilling mud that leaked along a dozen miles of state route from Carrollton to Malvern, and an acid spill in Carrollton, he said.
But the potential exists for greater hazards. If a tanker carrying volatile condensate crashed on the village square?
"It could wreak havoc," Cottis said.
To keep up with the extra traffic, Williams said he wants to add at least two road-patrol deputies and another in the jail, but that depends on the commissioners. The sheriff's budget already has increased by almost $200,000 since 2011.
Other than two vehicles donated by Chesapeake Energy, the sheriff said his office hasn't received any help from drilling companies.
County sales taxes collections for the first eight months of this year were $2.3 million, up $556,000 over the same period last year, but the money hasn't trickled down to the county's 14 fire departments, which rely on tax levies and fundraisers.
The Carrollton Fire Department covers the village and five townships, including the Brace West site. It has a yearly budget of $126,000 and when any of its 35 firefighters go to a call, they are paid for their time."It's been a financial burden on the fire department because at this point, this time, we have no more money coming in but we're having more auto accidents and more calls, which makes payroll bigger ... fuel bills higher," Chief Tom Mesler said.
Fighting gas and oil fires also takes more water, more hoses, more firefighters and Class B foam, which costs between $85 and $116 per five-gallon bucket.
"We used to keep three or four buckets of Class B foam," Mesler said. "Now we have 40."
The department has sent 19 firefighters to training provided by the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program, an industry-funded group. It also had three firefighters attend training sponsored by processing-plant operator M3 Midstream. Another company gave the department a $2,500 grant.
Mesler said his department is keeping pace with training, but none of the local departments are getting a financial upgrade.
"We're just trying to keep our head above water and do the best we can," he said.
On a sunny day, the gleaming silver spires of M3 Midstream's new Utica East Ohio Buckeye plant can be seen clearly from the Scio Volunteer Fire Department.
Called the Harrison Hub, the plant is a 640-acre sprawl of tanks, tubes, spheres and pipelines designed to separate the gasses and liquids that flow from Utica wells into propane, butane, ethane and natural gasoline.
When fully operational, the plant will be able to process 135,000 barrels of natural gas liquids a day and load 200 railcars a day, plus tanker trucks. It also will have storage space for millions of gallons of natural gasoline, butane and propane, said Eric Mize, M3 Midstream's emergency and public awareness liaison.
Fourteen months ago it was farm land next to a village of fewer than 800 residents.
"This is all new for us," said Roger Bethel, chief of Scio's 25 firefighters.
Harrison County is the definition of rural: Fewer than 16,000 people spread across 400 square miles and 10 villages, served by 12 volunteer fire departments.
Harrison is the second busiest Utica Shale county with 94 wells drilled or drilling, and has become a center for processing facilities. M3 Midstream is in Scio, MarkWest has a plant near Cadiz and is building another in Hopedale, and Blue Racer is considering a processing facility near the Tuscarawas County line.
"It's really taking off here and Harrison County's going to be a hub for the natural gas industry for a long time to come," Sheriff Ronald J. Myers said.
Lorna Bower's job as Harrison's emergency management director is to coordinate services if something goes wrong.
"We have emergency plans from the facilities and what they intend to do, but some of them are very close to population centers and that concerns me because we've got a very limited time if we would have to evacuate any village," Bower said.
The county emergency management agency conducted an evacuation drill of homes nearest the Scio plant in April. It also has simulated a tanker crash.
In the event of a serious emergency at a well site or a processing plant, local volunteer firefighters will probably direct traffic and evacuate residents, rather than respond directly to the emergency, Bower said.
MarkWest, for example, has provided a 16-hour course for 60 firefighters from Harrison, Belmont and Jefferson counties on how to respond to fires at gas plants and pipelines.
"If there is, God forbid, a fire, we don't put that out," said Edward Ross, safety manager for MarkWest Utica operations. "We shut valves off and the fire is extinguished by extinguishing the fuel source."
For now, Scio firefighters have an emergency role outside the Harrison Hub plant, but that could change as the department does more training with M3 Midstream personnel, Mize said.
Scio firefighters are among 17 local first responders who have received 40 hours of training at the Ohio Fire Academy near Columbus sponsored by M3 Midstream. Last weekend, the department and plant employees had a two-day training session on fighting railcar fires. That training was paid for by an outside grant.
Mize said the skills local firefighters are learning apply to emergencies inside and outside the plant.
"It's in their backyard," he said. "It wouldn't be right to do this kind of training and not include them."
The plant itself has automatic safety sensors and a 2 million gallon fire-suppression system that can pump 6,000 gallons of water a minute, as well as a fire truck and a supply of foam that could be used to help neighboring communities, Mize said.
M3 Midstream also pays for the sheriff's office to provide five hours of law enforcement coverage, Monday through Saturday, in the village, and has been discussing the purchase of a reverse 911 system for the county.
Bethel has visited residents who live closest to the plant, taking addresses and phone numbers and noting disabled persons and others who would need additional help during an evacuation.
"We just want people to know there is the chance of a hazard out there and we're going to work our best with Midstream to get everything taken care of," he said. "We're going to continue training with them, and we're going to look out for the village. And we're always in need of volunteers."
The department also needs new equipment. Its two engines, from 1991 and 1989, are past the usual 20-year life span. Bethel said he wants to replace one of them in the next year, but an engine costs $300,000 and up.
For a department that gets 60 percent of its $80,000 annual budget from fundraisers, such as monthly roast beef dinners and a four-day street fair in August, that will mean grant dollars.
At the county level, Harrison, Jefferson, Carroll and Columbiana are applying for $3.54 million in state homeland security money to put two emergency sirens in every township, which could be used in a variety of situations.
"Obviously with the pipelines coming in, it becomes regional because everything is tied together," said Luke Newbold, emergency management director in Columbiana County, which is spearheading the grant application.
But regionalization and grants will only go so far. Officials in Carroll and Harrison counties say a portion of the severance tax on natural gas and oil production needs to return to the most affected counties.
The industry opposes any increase in the severance tax, saying it would stall development.
"Emergency medical services are stressed, fire services are stressed," said Harrison County Commissioner Don Bethel, a Republican who supports sending at least 1 percent of the severence tax collected by the state to the counties bearing the brunt of oil and gas exploration.
Bower and Cottis said some of the revenue needs to be allotted for emergency services.
"A percent of that money has to come back to the first responders," Cottis said. "We're the boots on the ground whenever something happens."

The C back end is almost ready for release -- Taylor's working on it -- but it's still a few weeks off. When it's finished we'll release another snapshot.

Thanks to the amazing Bill Rozas, the C back end for the compiler has been revived. This means that MIT/GNU Scheme will run on all of the popular modern architectures, including x86_64 and PowerPC, so those of you with Macs or 64-bit machines will be able to use MIT/GNU Scheme on them.
The next snapshot, due as soon as I can get everything in order, will contain this support.

By ALICIA RANCILIO Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) – Right now, various stylists to the stars are frantically pulling together their clients' "look" for Sunday's Oscars. And as they do so, there are two people they should probably thank for their jobs: Joan and Melissa Rivers.
In 1996, the mother-daughter duo pioneered award-show red carpet coverage, hosting "Live From the Red Carpet" for E! Entertainment Television.
After leaving E! in 2004, they returned in 2010 with "Fashion Police." Joan leads a panel with Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and stylist George Kotsiopoulos as they critique celebrity style choices. Melissa is a co-executive producer and occasional panelist.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Joan and Melissa Rivers talked about how they're happy to be off the red carpet, celebrities' lack of fashion risks and their own fashion mistakes.
AP: Would you agree that many people watch awards shows for the fashion?
Joan Rivers: I think that's what has made 'Fashion Police' so popular. It's the only show that I think tells the truth. Everyone stands on the red carpet and says, 'You're so beautiful.' You want to say, 'Are you crazy? She looks terrible.'
Melissa Rivers: The way it's said (on 'Fashion Police') is better than anybody can say it. We say it in a very entertaining way.
AP: Set the scene for how you watch stars arrive on a red carpet. Do you have notepads?
Melissa Rivers: Notepads for pages and pages and pages of notes. You look for trends. I always have a tally sheet going of specific things I see. At the SAG Awards, everybody had the same hairdo. Then you go back and you sort of analyze it and figure out what we're gonna put in the show the next day.
AP: Is there anyone you feel you can't criticize?
Joan Rivers: If (E!) has somebody who is a huge star on their network. They'll never say 'don't,' but they'll say, 'Do you really have to say that?' And then it's our decision. And then it falls on us. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on your mood.
AP: What should we look for on this year's Oscar red carpet?
Melissa Rivers: The two 'it girls' Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence. … They've both had one hit and one miss. Both missed at the (Golden) Globes and hit at the SAG Awards. Those two are the ones every designer wants to dress and the ones everyone's waiting for.
AP: Now that everyone has a stylist, is it harder to find fashion misses?
Joan Rivers: In the beginning, they would come dressed on their own. Even some of them were making their dresses. Kim Basinger designed her dress one year. Joanne Woodward once made her dress. You want to go, 'Why? You're not in a trailer park. You don't have to.' Now they all have their own stylists and look like they can go to war.
Melissa Rivers: They're in uniform.
Joan Rivers: One shoulder, slit to the leg, hair on one side. They can line right up.
Melissa Rivers: What's sad is they lose their personalities and what you want to show is your own personal fashion sense and your personality. A lot of them don't know. They're too scared to (do it).
Joan Rivers: I even like Florence Welch because as crazy as she looks … she goes with her own idea of what's good-looking. Thank God.
AP: What did you think of Adele's outfit at the Grammy Awards?
Joan Rivers: She looked like she was sitting on a teapot.
Melissa Rivers: On the runway it was long, it was amazing. I didn't love it short.
AP: Are you happy that you're no longer on the red carpet doing interviews?
Joan Rivers: Yes. It's my place to make the viewer out there have fun and share my opinion. And you know what? If I'm not invited to the party, I wasn't invited anyhow.
AP: Have you started to recognize the work of certain stylists?
Melissa Rivers: Certain stylists have a very distinct look.
AP: Do you ever look at your own fashion and say, 'What was I thinking?'
Joan and Melissa Rivers: Yes.
Joan Rivers: Fashion should be fun. If for one night you look like an idiot, it's OK. Don't take it so seriously Victoria Beckham. Calm down, it's a stupid dress. There are a couple pictures that show up and I go, 'How could I walk out of the house?' But you did and you survive.

Less horrific than it is horribly didactic.

More thought-provoking than frightening. Its stubbornly cynical attitude makes it worth watching, more than the monsters or the impenetrable mist (which looks spewed from a fog machine) engulfing a small town in Maine.
There's a grim modern parable to be read into the dangerous effects of the gospel-preaching local crazy lady Mrs. Carmody (brilliantly played by a hellfire Marcia Gay Harden) on a congregation of the fearful.
What a horror film SHOULD be - dark, tense, and punctuated by just enough gore to keep the viewer's flinch reflex intact.
Good and creepy, The Mist comes from a Stephen King novella and is more the shape, size and quality of the recent "1408," likewise taken from a King story, than anything in the persistently fashionable charnel house inhabited by the "Saw" and "Hostel" franchises.

Iffy for 15+
Fear reigns in so-so Stephen King monster flick.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this Stephen King-inspired horror film features monsters (who proceed to rip up bodies), unseen threats, and bloody injuries and deaths. People use axes and guns against the monsters and also hurt each other (shooting, hitting, stabbing). There's intense suspense that could make younger kids very anxious, as well as several suicides -- and the final scene is especially upsetting. One scene shows cigarette smoking, and a few characters get visibly drunk. Language includes multiple uses of "f--k," plus other profanity.
Messages: Characters have a range of responses to the mist/monsters, including nobility, selfishness, fear, and courageousness. Teachers and parents are brave, a militantly religious woman rouses the crowd to blame and attack others.
Violence: Lots of bloody violence, most committed by monsters against humans (the reptilian, buggy, dinosaur-like baddies are fond of ripping victims' guts out and faces off). Man with bloody face describes scary encounter, causing a young boy to cry and go into shock. Several scenes show parents holding frightened children. Young man is dragged out a door, screaming and fearful, bloodied and wounded during the process. Man on fire later appears badly burned. Man is cut in half, his bloody legs and entrails left behind. Monster spiders wrap victims in webs; one body breaks open to let loose cascades of creepy baby spiders. Man stabs another repeatedly. Suicide victims (hanging). Woman urges crowd to deliver a horrified victim to the monsters. Woman bitten by a giant bug swells up horrifically before she dies. Weapons wielded by humans -- against each other and the monsters -- include axe, gun, and fire (torches and aerosol can). A couple of alarming shooting scenes resulting in bloody injuries, splatter, and upsetting deaths.
Sex: Brief cleavage shot. Brief kissing between designated cute young couple, in close-up.
Language: Includes several uses of "f--k" (some with "mother"), lots of "s--t"s and fewer instances of "ass," "hell," "bitch" (with "son of a"), and anatomically inspired expletives ("c--ksucker," "p---y").
Consumerism: Assorted products visible in the grocery store, including Budweiser beer and Snyder's pretzels, as well as generic cans and paper.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Soldier smokes a cigarette, indicating his worry. Addled mechanics drink beer and get visibly drunk.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—A Western Michigan University faculty member has received a statewide teaching award. Dr. Ronald Kramer was presented with the Larry T. Reynolds Award for Outstanding Teaching of Sociology at the annual meeting of the Michigan Sociological Association Saturday, Oct. 27, at Calvin College in Grand Rapids.
The award honors Kramer for more than 30 years of teaching sociology and criminology to both undergraduate and graduate students at WMU. As a surprise, the award was presented to him by one of his former doctoral students, Dr. Elizabeth Bradshaw, who now teaches at Central Michigan University.
Ronald Kramer
Kramer, a WMU faculty member since 1978, is a professor of sociology who co-chairs the Interdisciplinary Humanities Study Group on Climate Change in the University Center for the Humanities. He received the WMU Alumni Association Teaching Excellence Award in 1981.
An active scholar, Kramer focuses his research on corporate and state crime, crime prevention and control strategies, and the sociological history of the sport of baseball. He delivered a keynote address on "Climate Change: A State-Corporate Crime Perspective" at the Sept. 18 conference on Environmental Crime and Its Victims at the University of Delft in the Netherlands.
Kramer, a longtime peace and justice activist, is a founding member of Kalamazoo Nonviolent Opponents of War. He has been on the executive board of the WMU Center for the Study of Ethics in Society since 1985, and he founded WMU's annual Peace and Justice Education Week in 1983.
Also active in community affairs, Kramer helped produce local public access television programs, including "WMU Forum," which ran from 1987 to 1995, and the award-winning "Critical Issues, Alternative Views," which ran from 2001 to 2011.
He earned a doctoral degree in sociology from Ohio State University in 1978.

As we sit a week away from the start of the 2010 NFL season, predictions continue to trickle in.
Here's our weekly look at what the national media are saying about the Eagles.
SI.com's Ross Tucker previews the NFC East and has the Eagles going 9-7. Tucker has all four teams in the division finishing above .500, with the Redskins and Cowboys going 10-6. He has the Giants finishing 9-7.
Tucker lists one thing that each team needs to improve. For the Birds, he says it's an intimidation factor:
The defense took a step back last year under first-year defensive coordinator Sean McDermott and must get back to being the intimidating crew that the late Jim Johnson created during his tenure in Philly. The Eagles got a number of reinforcements this offseason after trading for linebacker Ernie Sims from the Detroit Lions and using their first two draft choices on defensive end Brandon Graham from Michigan and safety Nate Allen from South Florida. All three are expected to start from day one. The defense also returns rock-solid middle linebacker Stewart Bradley after he missed all of the 2009 campaign with a torn ACL.
Sean McDermott and Andy Reid have pointed to Sims as a guy who can provide that intimidation factor. But, in my opinion, that has to start with being a playmaker, something Sims will have to prove he's capable of in the regular season.
SI.com's Peter King also previews the Eagles in a video that accompanies Tucker's piece. He praises the Eagles for moving on to Kevin Kolb, but says it will be tough for them to win the division or even make the playoffs this season.
NFL.com has six different experts chiming in with Eagles predictions. Two predict 10-6; two predict 9-7; one predicts 8-8; and one predicts 5-11.
Vic Carucci has the Birds winning just five games:
Kevin Kolb will eventually be a good quarterback. This year, however, he isn't ready to carry the load and the team will feel his growing pains.
None of the experts have the Eagles winning the NFC East. Three have them finishing second; two have them finishing third; and Carucci has them finishing last.
Jason La Canfora gives the Eagles 10 wins:
Kevin Kolb is going to be a star. If the OL was more settled I'd like their chances more. Dick Jauron should bring consistency to secondary.
CBSSports.com's Clark Judge predicts a third-place finish for the Eagles. He has the Cowboys first, the Giants second and the Redskins last:
This is one of the most intriguing teams out there because after eight playoffs and five conference championship games they had the guts to cut loose the quarterback who took them there. Now, I'm not sure what to make of them, other than it's never wise to underestimate Reid. He admires Kolb and believes he's a better fit for what the Eagles do with their passing game than McNabb ... and maybe he's right. But one problem: McNabb had over 10 years of starting in this offense; Kolb has two games. So expect mistakes borne from inexperience, which means expect more losses than last season.
In case you missed it from earlier this week, here's what Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski think about the Eagles.
And Phil Simms' take on the Birds.

LAS VEGAS – A former Las Vegas Strip dancer standing trial on a murder charge cried openly as he demonstrated for jurors on Thursday how his ex-girlfriend died in his arms, with her hair in his face as he spoke into her ear during a physical struggle at his house in December 2010.
"I want to stop her from getting to the purse," Jason Omar Griffith said in his chance to describe how he was defending himself from a violent and possessive Deborah Flores Narvaez. .
"I think she's reaching for the gun in her purse, but I have no way to know," Griffith testified. "I was telling her to stop. I pull her back toward me."
Griffith said no one took him seriously about Flores taunting, threatening, stalking, harassing and assaulting him in the months after they became intimate in early 2010.
Jurors heard 14 calls that Griffith made to 911 and 311 police lines in the months that followed. Griffith characterized the police response as, "A beautiful girl cannot be dangerous."
By November, Griffith said, Flores told him she was pregnant for the second time in six months. He felt hemmed in. Griffith said Flores wanted him to quit seeing another dancer he'd been dating and devote his full attention to her, an abortion and her recuperation. Medical examiners later found no evidence that Flores was pregnant at the time.
The night she died, Flores mentioned a gun, Griffith said. As the argument escalated, he grabbed her as she reached across him toward her cream-colored handbag.
Griffith showed the jury how Flores' head wedged in the crooks of his elbows as he fell backward to the floor of his bedroom-sized home recording studio.
"She says, 'I'm going to (expletive) kill you. I'm going to (expletive) kill you,'" Griffith said, describing how Flores — a dancer in the Luxor hotel-casino's racy "Fantasy" revue — kicked the heels of her high black boots against his bare shins and threw her head back against the bridge of his nose as he held her tightly.
"She's not stronger than me," Griffith said.
He said he pleaded with her to stop — that he didn't want to fight.
"I thought she was listening to me, because she wasn't moving anymore," he said. "She wasn't scratching me, or gasping for air."
Moments later, he realized she wasn't breathing at all.
Prosecutors will question Griffith on Friday about differences between what he told the jury and the denials he gave police three times in the weeks after Flores' disappearance. The case became a media sensation during the 2010 Christmas holidays.
Griffith acknowledged lying to police. He said he withheld details of the slaying from everyone — even Louis Colombo, the friend and housemate who helped him dispose of Flores' dismembered body in tubs of concrete.
Colombo, who received immunity from prosecution, testified earlier this week that he separated Flores and Griffith at the beginning of the fatal encounter, but left the house in Griffith's car to return his daughter and her brother to his ex-wife's home. When he returned, Flores was dead on the floor.
Colombo said Griffith sawed Flores' corpse apart to entomb it in two concrete blocks that police found in a vacant house in January 2011.
Griffith said Thursday they both did it.
"Whether I had the saw in my hand or not, I didn't stop him," the defendant said.
Defense attorneys plan to call Colombo back to the witness stand on Monday.
Griffith, 35, performed under the name "Blu" in the Cirque du Soleil show "Love," based on Beatles music. He has been in the Clark County Jail in Las Vegas since his arrest after the body was found. He faces life in state prison if he is convicted of murder.
