This Friday, the Doddridge County Commissioners will act in the capacity of an appeals board, when addressing the unresolved matter of the revoked flood plain permit previously issued to EQT to drill 12 Marcellus wells on Joye Huff's meadow. This outcome of this appeals process should be of interest to every resident of this county.
For those unfamiliar with the current controversy involving EQT's desire to drill in a flood plain, here is a synopsis of what appears to be a controversial and "sticky situation" for the county commission to try to resolve......
EQT holds an active mineral lease which gives them the right to drill on a tract of land which was originally leased back in 1890. It includes Joye Huff's 640 acre farm in Groves Summers, which is only a part of the greater acreage on the original tract of land which was leased for minerals back in 1890.
EQT selected the meadow on the Huff Farm as their location of choice to put 12 Marcellus wells. It is Joye Huff's only meadow of her entire farm and she farms it. But aside from that, the meadow is in a recorded flood plain/floodway.
Back in November, 2011, EQT went to the county flood plain coordinator, Jerry Evans, with their documents in order to obtain a county permit to drill in the meadow. EQT's documentation provided to Evans stated that the meadow was NOT in a flood plain. Evans signed off on it and issued a permit to allow EQT to drill the meadow. The site was never visited by the county flood plain coordinator prior to signing the permit.
The residents of the Groves Summers community know that this meadow is indeed in a recorded flood plain and at least partially in a flood way. They have experienced firsthand the flooding of the meadow and resulting FEMA federal disaster assistance in past years. Realizing that it was a significant error on the county flood plain coordinator's part to have issued EQT a permit to drill there, several neighbors and the property owner of the drill site brought this to the attention of the County Commission. This was done during a commission meeting in April, 2012.
The county commission realized that a mistake had been made in issuing the county permit to EQT to drill the meadow. The commissioners instructed Jerry Evans, County Flood Plain Coordinator, to act on the situation. Subsequently the permit to drill in the meadow was revoked by Evans.
The commission was well intended by being responsive to the residents who brought the flood plain situation to their attention. However, the commission unintentionally handled the revocation improperly. They did not provide EQT with proper notice that they intended to pull the permit in order for EQT to have "due process" and be heard, before the revocation of the permit. (Or so EQT claims. However the revocation of a permit that was invalid to begin with, should have no standing before the court. Due process does not apply to invalid actions and is being challenged.)
Nevertheless, EQT filed an injunction to demand the return of their permit to drill in the meadow. In effect, they indicated their intent to sue the County Commission, if they don't get their permit back.
The county commission, now under the advisement of their attorney, subsequently went back to correct their "process error" they had committed when they had instructed Evans to revoke EQT's permit without first informing EQT of their intent. This time the commission went through the proper channels and there was also a subsequent hearing addressing the injunction. During this hearing, the circuit court judge heard EQT's argument, and that of the attorney's intervening for the landowner, and the commissioners' attorney as well. The case was remanded back to the County Commission to act upon it in their official capacity of a Flood Plain Permit Appeals Board, and to do so before the judge will address the injunction filed by EQT against the County Commission.
In addition, the landowner was given the opportunity to obtain the services of an independent engineering firm to review, validate, or contradict the engineering documents that were used by EQT when seeking their permit from Jerry Evans, who was our Doddridge County Flood Plain Coordinator who issued the permit to EQT back in November.
Overwhelmed yet with too many details? It's all part of the usual "legalities" that come into play in these court situations and often cloud the issues that need to be addressed.
Bottom line is that the ball is now in the County Commission's court, so to speak. Their "appeals court" role they will assume this Friday. This is when they must decide whether to reinstate the revoked permit for EQT, or sustain the current revocation of the permit. After that hurdle it will go back to the circuit court to continue.
It would seem as if a no-win situation for the County Commission. On the one hand, if they rule to keep the permit revoked as it currently stands, they can probably expect EQT to continue with the injunction against them and the lawsuit. They want that meadow! And if the commission yields to that kind of pressure, and gives EQT a permit to drill the meadow, the commission will have violated their own county flood plain ordinance and they can expect that they will have to answer to the residents of that community who will be placed in harm's way if the meadow is drilled.
A few things that should be considered by the commission and perhaps some questions they should be asking themselves and EQT........
1. The commissioners were elected to serve and protect the citizens of this county, not serve the drilling industry. The meadow is in a recorded flood plain/flood way. What does our County Flood Plain Ordinance say about construction in a flood plain/floodway? It states only if there are no other alternative locations should construction be done in a flood plain/flood way. The Huff farm has 640 acres of "alternative location" for EQT to find another place to plop those 12 Marcellus wells. In addition, the leased track that EQT holds encompasses adjoining parcels besides the Huff farm, so even more acreage to possibly place those wells instead of locating them on the flood plain meadow. They are currently proposing to use the meadow and build up the meadow with 60,000 cubic feet of fill, with the edge of the well pad about 20 feet from the stream. Gee, where will all that diverted water go when the meadow floods as it has historically done so every few years?
2. Is the commission responsible for the safety of residents or responsible for catering to the needs of EQT for their "convenience" in drilling in the desired meadow? It is flat, with a long stretch of road frontage for easy access for their drilling equipment and trucks. An easier way for them to get to their minerals, rather than going elsewhere on that huge tract of leased land they hold that ISN'T in the flood plain.
Ms. Huff's meadow appears to be a very desirable and coveted location for the driller. Enough so, that EQT apparently won't back down and they have brought in their heavy hitter lawyers to fight both the landowner and the county commission.
(Guess EQT will no longer be giving out those really cool flashing L.E.D. yo-yo's, sunscreen pens, tote bags, and cheese cubes they handed out to us as freebies at their community public relations meeting last year at the county park? No more Mr. Nice Guy to us landowners who want to preserve our property values, and our safety, as best we can? )
NOWHERE does it say that the county commission is here to serve the drillers and make it easy for them at the expense of the landowners' property, and certainly NOT at the expense of the county residents' safety! Remember, the commission is here to serve and protect the county citizens, NOT the drilling industry!
3. EQT, when seeking the permit for drilling in the meadow, presented their engineering study as evidence that the proposed site was not in a flood plain. An assessment done of their engineering study revealed some interesting things.
EQT's engineering firm used older, outdated software, a BETA or experimental version. Check out the website for EQT's chosen engineer: Navitus.... "energy support, it's all we do."
http://navituseng.com/ Does that suggest an UNBIASED independent engineering firm did the flood plain study for EQT? Was the software used for EQT's study an older version using topography and input from 2003?
If so, shouldn't this be more current? Did anyone from Navitus Engineering actually visit the site? Wouldn't it be prudent to have information more current than those from 2003 software?
4. Did EQT fill out the application form for the county permit and Jerry Evans then sign it based on what info they told him? Was there a site visit done referring to current flood plain maps on record? Was an informed decision made, and did the company provide all the facts?
5. The Doddridge Flood Plain Ordinance states that "any developer who plans activity in a flood zone that will encompass 2 or more acres is required to delineate the floodplain." Did EQT do this before coming to the county with their application? According to the landowner, the delineation was never done prior to the permit application. And why is this process necessary? Because the ordinance demands that NO fill will be placed inside a floodway. Thus it is important for EQT to have known just where the floodway is located. Perhaps a few thousand dollars spent at the beginning is better than wasting hundreds of thousands on improper activities?
6. The WV DEP Office of Oil and Gas states in their permit application that a driller is responsible for obtaining the necessary local permits, and identifying the actual flood plain, and obtaining any permits, variances, etc.
WV DEP OOG went ahead and issued their agency's permits to EQT even though EQT had not yet obtained the local county permits to drill in the meadow. In the DEP's permit application package, there is an acknowledgement section with signature requirement in which it states "the applicant acknowledges that any Office of Oil and Gas permit in no way overrides, replaces, or nullifies the need for other permits/approvals that may be necessary, and further affirms that all needed permits/approvals should be acquired from the appropriate authority before the affected activity is initiated."
Did EQT go through FEMA, Army Corps of Engineers, DNR, US Fish and Wildlife and any other agency for necessary approvals when required and did they do so before applying with Doddridge County? Does the County Commission have evidence that they did? Hopefully the commission will verify all this was done by EQT. Wasn't FEMA the one who initially brought all this to the attention of the commission because something may have been amiss?
7. How much of the alleged expenses that EQT is claiming as "damages" they incurred (assuming they don't get their permit back) can actually be attributed to the actual costs they incurred as result of not getting the permit? And how much of those dollars claimed were actually monies that had to be spent by them, whether they were approved for the permit or not? Typically, those pre-permit costs incurred by companies in preparing for a permit application must be "eaten" by the companies who apply, even when they are subsequently turned down for permits. The burden of proof is on EQT to prove that those alleged monetary damages were a result of being DENIED the permit, and not stemming from expenses that must be incurred in order to apply for the permit! The commission would be prudent to look into that!
8. Does the suit by EQT claim that they already have loss of opportunity for revenue from the gas on a daily basis? If so, how can they be losing natural gas revenue already, if in fact, the pipeline infrastructure to pump that gas hasn't even been built yet? Could this be intimidation by suggesting that they are losing money every day that the permit is denied?
Hopefully, the commissioners will be diligent in sorting out the facts from the threats and not allow themselves to be intimidated by a possible lawsuit filed by EQT if they don't get that coveted meadow.
Bottom line is that it would seem that if the commission simply follows and applies the law as it appears in the county flood plain ordinance, and renders their decision based on being in compliance with their own flood plain ordinance, they will have little to worry about as repercussion to their action.
If there is litigation against them as result of their decision on the permit, the commission needs to realize that the burden of proof for actual damages incurred must be attributed to the denial of the permit and is the responsibility of EQT to prove rather than to suggest.
Hopefully, residents of the county will follow this case carefully as it unfolds. What has happened on Ms. Huff's farm could very well happen to many others in the county who have old mineral leases on their lands. We should expect nothing less than to have our local and state government, their agencies ......and the drilling companies follow the rule of law. The Marcellus drilling frenzy is a whole new playing field and brings lots of challenges to our county and state. We should not allow ourselves to be targeted as a population to be taken advantage of, simply because it is assumed that we are ignorant of our rights and of laws that are in place to protect us.

I would like to extend my gratitude to you and your team for the exceptional result achieved in selling our home. I appreciate the effort spent in ensuring we sell quickly for above our agreed price. You and your team were professional and friendly, which made this process surprisingly pleasant.
Michelle Rix
I have been prompted to write this letter to you following a rather difficult situation I experienced in working with an Estate Agent in Campbelltown yesterday, and the absolute contrast I experience each day in working with every single staff member I come into contact with from your office
When Mike and I decided to sell our house we went to some trouble to select the Real Estate Agency we felt would provide optimum marketing potential and quality customer service. We had no idea of administration or professional conduct standards to compare one agency from another. (I do now!!!)
From the outset, you and your staff have provided us with exemplary administrative documentation, extremely high level courtesy and communication feedback, clear and unambiguous information for us to make effective decisions in respect to the sale of our house, and above all else a truly delightful personal, and professional, interpersonal relationship with each and every staff member, who has contacted us by telephone, made viewing appointments, provided oral feedback or offers on sale price, presented at our property with clients or had discussions with us at our house in respect to the sale of our property.
Every staff member has been 100% reliable and on-time for all showings. Mike and I have been extremely impressed and appreciable of such a high quality service, that I know from experience in my own field - just does not happen without on-going staff training in these areas. You have trained your staff well!!!
I should be very grateful if you could pass on these words to your staff, and let them know their efforts are very much appreciated by all of us."
Sue Newth

Through the Wire
Dangerous? No
It seemed innocent enough when Time Warner Cable marketing director of ad sales Karen Narciso checked in at the San Antonio airport for a short hop to Dallas.
Security went through her bags — nothing exciting in there. But they did discover some contraband: It seems that she had on her person a Court TV premium: a key chain that sported a tiny set of handcuffs, each no larger than an inch.
Apparently fearful the cable executive would use them to overpower and imprison a teeny, tiny pilot, airport security deemed them "dangerous" and had them confiscated. Narciso told the network that in the future, she plans to travel with a box of Court TV caps bearing the U.S. flag on the front.
Dangerous? Yes
But if you want to talk about real jeopardy, talk to technicians Erwin Loveland and Jeremy Moore of the Charter Communications Inc. system in Vincennes, Ind. They came face to face last week with a mentally ill man, and he wasn't armed with mini-handcuffs.
The techs were in the field trying to determine the source of some damage to the plant when a man in a house nearby began firing a shotgun at them. Each man fled to his truck, but Moore was forced to abandon his vehicle when the shooter blew out the passenger-side window.
Both installers escaped unharmed, but the man continued to shoot at the truck.
After an eight-hour standoff with police, the man was charged with criminal recklessness and pointing a loaded weapon.
According to Charter's internal newsletter, this is the first incident of its kind in the company's history. And, we add, hopefully the last.
The Strife of O'Reilly
Perhaps the liveliest session at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. last week pitted Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly against the pundits.
O'Reilly obviously reveled in the opportunity to tell scribes off for their inability to write about him without using pejorative adjectives like "bellicose" and "conservative." When challenged, he clarified that he didn't mean "conservative" is a bad thing.
He sent reporters scurrying to file sound bites when he dissed former associate Paula Zahn. Her new employer, Cable News Network, was criticized for a short-lived promotional spot describing her as "sexy." O'Reilly said if Zahn doesn't think she got the job at least in part because "she's a good looking babe, then she's in never-never land." He added, "Eleanor Roosevelt would never be an anchorwoman."
But he wouldn't take the bait and criticize his new co-worker, Geraldo Rivera. Rivera allegedly carried a firearm in Afganistan and provided inaccurate reportage from the field.
"The man has a gun. I'm not going to say anything bad about him," he quipped. "If he wants to go skeet-shooting in Kabul, that's up to him."
Good for the Goose…
Actor and comedian Steve Harvey was miffed at TV writers last Monday during the Television Critics Tour in Pasedena, Calif. for blowing off Black Entertainment Television's presentation.
Harvey, who appeared as a panelist for the BET session, chastised the majority of writers for disrespecting BET by walking out of the room immediately after the previous presentation from MTV: Music Television was finished.
But three days later, writers felt Harvey returned the snub by not showing up as scheduled for a Comedy Central panel discussing the network's upcoming documentary, Heroes of Black Comedy, in which Harvey is prominently featured. Comedy officials said Harvey had a last-minute family situation to attend to, but given what went down earlier, The Wire guesses that one good turn deserved another.
Interactive Espionage
Where are those James Bond-esque microphones — the ones hidden inside a martini olive on a swizzle stick — when you need 'em?
That's what sales and marketing execs with both Canal Plus U.S. Technologies and competitor OpenTV Inc. were wondering last week, when they found themselves at the swank W San Francisco Hotel for strategy meetings.
Salespeople for the competing interactive-TV providers eyed each other across the bar, an ironic twist given that day's topic for each company: How to trounce the other. Oops!
As one participant put it, "We couldn't tell who was spying and who was schmoozing." The Wire's take: If one of 'em doesn't buy the other by the time of the 2003 sales and marketing confab, they'll be drinking their rotgut at the Holiday Inn Hoboken.
Outside the Footprint
Cox Communications Inc.'s cable system in Fairfax County, Va., is the broadband home of two Federal Communications Commission members — Republican chairman Michael Powell and Democrat Michael Copps, both of whom thirst for a drink from cable's high-speed-data faucet.
At last week's FCC meeting, Copps raised some questions about whether cable Internet is really available to 70 percent of U.S. homes. FCC Cable Services Bureau Chief W. Kenneth Ferree said he was comfortable with the 70 percent homes-passed figure, noting that cable's rollout of broadband is contained in publicly traded cable companies' reports to Wall Street.
"I don't have it and I've been trying like heck to get it," Copps said. "When you say they go past my house, you are exactly right."
Powell said he can't get Cox's high-speed service either. "Message to Cox: Get to us," Powell said.
Videos That Suck
For those who like music and believe parody is the sincerest form of flattery, then MuchMusic USA was the place to be last weekend. The interactive network sent up the music-video business with its "You Suck Weekend," providing viewers with a chance to vote for videos that either do or don't, well, suck.
MuchMusic also poked fun at VH1 and Casey Kasem with Behind the Music That Sucks
(an animated segment that spoofed Kiss and Christina Aguilera, among others) and American Suck Countdown
segments. Guess Who Sucks
aired the results from viewers who cast their votes on mmusa.tv after on-screen prompts.
For those who missed out on the irreverent fun, MuchMusic will allow viewers to again determine what sucks on Jan. 26 and 27.
Supreme Split
You got to hand it to those cable lawyers for managing to crack the Supreme Court's most cohesive voting bloc.
In last week's decision in the pole-attachment rate case, the high court ruled 6-2 in cable's favor. Justice Antonin Scalia voted in the majority and Justice Clarence Thomas in the minority.
In the court's October 2000 term, conservatives Scalia and Thomas voted together 99 percent of the time. And no two justices voted together as often as Scalia and Thomas.
Tom Goldstein, a Washington attorney who tracks Supreme Court voting trends, said he wasn't worried that the pole case ignited a split between the two justices that would carry over to the future.
"This really is the sort of random case in which they disagree, while they do tend to strongly agree in cases that have real ideological components to them," Goldstein said.
Turner Network Television's Jan. 14 premiere of its Monday Night Mayhem
movie scored a field goal in the ratings, generating a 3.0 rating. That's better than fumbling, which is what the wire did in its report last week on Turner's pre-screening event for the movie. The wire's report last week that Turner left numerous attendees starving after cancelling a pre-screening party should have drawn a penalty for misinformation. Several Turner executives did plan and executed an informal gathering at the 21 Club prior to the event, but had broken up before the wire's sources arrived, giving the impression that it never happened.

Boasting an extraordinary triple role for the excellent Dorothy Segda as identical twins Dora and Lili and their mother. Born on the day Edison invents the light bulb, Dora and Lili are separated in childhood and follow different paths to meet again on the Orient Express, one a pampered courtesan, the other a feminist anarchist. —Leeds International Film Festival
Ildikó Enyedi was born in Budapest in 1955. She studied at the University of Economics between 1975 and 1978 and from 1979 at the Academy of Theatre and Film Art Budapest. She graduated as a film director in 1984. From 1978 to 1984, she was a member of the fine arts group INDIGO. After making short feature films with the Béla Balázs Studio, she won the Caméra d'Or prize in Cannes for her first full-length feature film MY 20TH CENTURY. In 1991, she was awarded the Béla Balázs Award. —Shanghai International Film Festival
This film is so nice that saying anything critical about it makes you feel like a brute. It's the filmic equivalent of a 80% cocoa brownie, sold in a stylish little cardboard box, in a stylish little shop that looks like it's 1900, on a stylish little promenade with chic people pretending they are somewhere and sometime else. No-one wants to harm such a good brownie and such nice people.

Moves Over From Greeley Central
By Michael Hicks
Berthoud Recorder
Greeley Central Interim Athletic Director Mark Avery was named Wednesday morning to replace newly retired Rusty Mathena as Berthoud High School's athletic director.
Colby Schultz, the Spartans' track and field coach who was the other finalist, confirmed Avery's nod in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. Earlier, Thompson School District Superintendent Dr. Ron Cabrera noted the district had made a preliminary decision but would not confirm who was chosen.
"Mark will do a great job," said Schultz, who will stay on as Berthoud's track and field and coach, as well as assistant coach for the varsity football team.
Schultz and Avery were named as the finalists for the position Friday after five candidates met with incoming Berthoud Principal Chris Garcia and a selection committee at the school. Of the five candidates, Avery and one other were from outside the Thompson School District — two were from within the district, and Schultz was the only in-house candidate.
Garcia confirmed that two finalists were selected from the interviews, but didn't provide names at the time. Schultz and Avery met with Thompson R2-J School Superintendent Dr. Ron Cabrera on Tuesday and a final decision was made Wednesday morning.
"I'm very excited about the possibility. It's a great community with a great school. I relish the opportunity to work there," Avery said in an earlier interview.
Avery, 36, was a head baseball and assistant football coach at Weld Central High before moving on to Greeley Central, where he has been an assistant baseball and assistant football coach.
A native Coloradoan, Avery is a Pueblo East grad who attended the University of Northern Colorado. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in social sciences and a Master's in physical education and athletic administration.
The job will be a duel athletic director/assistant principal position that will include evaluating teacher performances as well.
Avery will also have to fill the boys soccer head coaching position immediately. Jeff Benjamin, Berthoud's boys soccer coach for five years, vacated the position two weeks ago to take the head coaching job at Mountain View High School in Loveland. Benjamin will remain on as head coach of the girls soccer program.

Avery, 36, was a head baseball and assistant football coach at Weld Central High before moving on to Greeley Central.

I've been wanting to redo all the software on my CarPC for a while now. I can get a free copy of Windows XP Embedded and Windows 7 Professional through my school (don't care if the XPe image has a time limit or not because I can just make a new image if it does). Linux, naturally, is free. Right now it takes about 1 minute from power to usability with TinyXP.. I'd like to decrease that as much as possible. I have quite a few devices.
Here's what I use now that I can think of:
RoadRunner (Outdated version, don't remember which)
DigitalFX2.5 skin
Older version of Winamp
BU353 GPS Unit/w iGuidance 3
7" Lilliput usb touchscreen(works on and off with Xenarc controller)
Outdated Netgear 802.11b USB wifi dongle
IDE CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive
Wireless USB Mini-Keyboard
PS2 Touchpad Mouse
As it's obvious, it's time to at least update my software. What is everyone's recommendations? Also, I can keep iGuidance3 or get MapPoint2009/2004 through my school for free.
I'm trying to do this as cheaply and efficiently as possible.

With Linux you can cold boot much faster than any windows system can boot. However, I dont think most windows users do cold boots. With hibernation, you can probably have your carpc up and playing music in 30sec or less. As for GPS nav, Ive only been exposed to Linux's Navit, and it's TERRIBLE. Maybe there is something better, but on the windows side, iGuidance is great especially due to the special touchscreen friendly mode.
I'm extremely comfortable with Windows or Linux, and don't care what I use as long as it doesn't cost any more money. I've been cold booting, but maybe I need to Hibernate-Once-Resume-Many? If Linux doesn't have very good navigation software, would you guys recommend: TinyXP, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded, or Windows 7 Professional for the fastest boot times and quickest program loading?

I've been using Win7 and Win7 Embedded in my car PC. I would recommend Win7 over XP for sure. No need for HORM with Win7, just use hybrid sleep. If you really want to go all out, grab an OCZ Vertex 30GB.
Win7 Embedded is still in CTP2, but I'm running it in my car and it works great.
EWF, HORM, MinLogon on XP.
Zotac ION Atom N330, 2GB low-profile RAM, M3-ATX
Win Embedded Std 2011 RC
OCZ Vertex Turbo 30GB SSD
Lilliput 629 Transflective, WRX Screen Mount
BlueSoleil BT, i-Blue GM-2 GPS, DirectedHD Radio, Andrea Mic
VoomPC 2
I'm in the same situation where a rebuild of the OS is now needed, as I'm going to be using a SSD so i want to go W7, but some of the devices I have only have XP drivers.
On W7 will defeat the purpose of running W7 if I cant find drivers for them on W7 platform?
New Car PC Build list in progress
I have a 10GB laptop hard drive and a 20GB ipod, so I'm about to do away with that setup. I just ordered an 80GB laptop hard drive off newegg. The problem with the ipod was that my music wouldn't work if it got under about 50 degrees and it was quite slow. I didn't think about Win7 having hybrid sleep. Right now, it's a contest between Windows XP Embedded and Windows 7 Professional.

I'm sort of in the same boat. I need to redo this thing soon. I just can't stand the mini-quirks it has at present.
I'm still undecided however. I think with the right settings you can still use Iguidance in WINE can you not? Probably not worth the headache, but I play with Debian quite a bit here and one thing about linux is once it's set, it's set. Windows, not so much.
And don't get me wrong, I love Ride/Road-runner, but if I see that nag screen a few more times randomly, or have to wait what seems like forever to see the buttons behind the nag I swear there had best not be a hillbilly around with a shotgun in the back of his pickup, as my dash might get a fill of buckshot.
I'm on Windows7 currently for this laptop, and to answer your question I'm betting the XP driver issues are probably less than you think. Most of the drivers that I had missing for this dell laptop were available through windows update. The couple that were not were fine with the Vista drivers. Assuming those are available for the hardware you have in question.

Ubuntu server setup - HEEELLLPPP
Hi all, I am a complete and utter noob when it comes to servers, I recently ordered a dedicated server so I can host various websites. My hosting company (webfusion.com) will not install/enable DSO for me. I have had the person who owns the script I am trying to run, do it for me but he says that my hosting company have a very odd configuration - I don't know what he did but now when i try open any php website on my server it downloads the .php file rather then displaying it. I am getting increasingly desperate and have not been able to find anyone who can install/configure and enable things on my server. below is a list of things I need doing I would really appreciate it if someone could install it all for me, obviously I will pay them to do it. I have untill the end of this month to get my server working and configured perfectly and all my websites back online because I have paid for advertising which starts to run from the 1st of August.
If you can't do what I need doing please can you forward this on to someone you know who might be able to help.
p.s apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.
Here is the list
DSO - Apache 1.3 Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support

XSML - dont know if this is that same as above...
- 07-10-2008 #2
are you sure??
sory to say this,
but are you sure your PHP is working correctly?
because if a browser can't display php files because of php is not working properly.
and how about the webserver? are you sure you installed them?
try installing apache web server with php extension,
or contact your hosting company

Description of Office
~ From Texas Association of Counties ~
Effective enforcement of the law requires the sure-handed expertise of a knowledgeable prosecutor.
The main duties of the county and/or district attorney is to represent the state in criminal cases. The county and/or district attorney works with law enforcement officers in the investigation and preparation of cases to be heard before the criminal courts. When requested in writing, the county attorney provides legal counsel to county officers.
The overwhelming importance of the office of public prosecutors arises from the fact that upon the prosecuting attorney rests the power of determining whether prosecution in any given case shall be inaugurated or, if inaugurated, pushed to a successful conclusion.
Other duties include prosecution of juvenile offenders, representation of victims of violence in protective orders and representing the Texas Department of Protective & Regulatory services in removing children from abusive households.

Distinct, crucial roles of flavonoids during legume nodulation
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 12, Issue 7, 1 July 2007, Pages 282-285
Senthil Subramanian, Gary Stacey and Oliver Yu
AbstractRNA interference-mediated silencing of the key flavonoid and isoflavone biosynthesis enzyme, respectively, by two different research groups has provided direct genetic evidence for the essential roles that these compounds play in nodulation. Anton Wasson et al. have shown that flavonoids are essential for localized auxin transport inhibition during nodulation in the indeterminate legume Medicago truncatula. By contrast, Senthil Subramanian et al. have shown that isoflavones are essential for endogenous nod gene induction in the determinate legume soybean.

A Versatile Microbial System for Biosynthesis of Novel Polyphenols with Altered Estrogen Receptor Binding Activity
Chemistry & Biology, Volume 17, Issue 4, 23 April 2010, Pages 392-401
Joseph A. Chemler, Chin Giaw Lim, John L. Daiss and Mattheos A.G. Koffas
SummaryIsoflavonoids possess enormous potential for human health with potential impact on heart disease and cancer, and some display striking affinities for steroid receptors. Synthesized primarily by legumes, isoflavonoids are present in low and variable abundance within complex mixtures, complicating efforts to assess their clinical potential. To satisfy the need for controlled, efficient, and flexible biosynthesis of isoflavonoids, a three-enzyme system has been constructed in yeast that can convert natural and synthetic flavanones into their corresponding isoflavones in practical quantities. Based on the determination of the substrate requirements of isoflavone synthase, a series of natural and nonnatural isoflavones were prepared and their binding affinities for the human estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) were determined. Structure activity relationships are suggested based on changes to binding affinities related to small variations on the isoflavone structure.

Mixed-UP Lindsay Lohan is getting more and more confused by the day.
Hours before raving about girlfriend Samantha Ronson on her blog, LiLo was flirting with TV's Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, right.
We're told the 22-year-old actress, who recently "came out" about her girl-on-girl love for the DJ, has also got a crush on chiselled Chace, 23.
After meeting him at the Diesel XXX Rock party in New York, the pair swapped numbers - and she has been calling him up to four times a day ever since.
Our party mole says: "Lindsay took a real shine to Chace and was pretty much throwing herself at him all night.
"She was standing in such a way that some part of her body was always touching him - at one point hip to hip.
"She was also giving him the filthiest looks, whispering in his ear, and turning everything he said into an innuendo.
"Everyone on the set of Gossip Girl has been teasing him mercilessly as Lindsay has been calling him three or four times a day and sending provocative text messages. Although she may just be having a laugh and not have any serious amorous intentions, everyone reckons Sam will go mad when she finds out.
"As a result Chace has been advised to stay well away from Lindsay and give the couple a very wide berth."
Of course, Chace is not the first male celebrity Linds is said to have contacted in recent times. The Mirror revealed how the Mean Girls star bombarded Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, 23, with texts and begged him for a date.
LiLo, meanwhile, has been professing her love for Mark Ronson's 31-year-old sister in her blog.
Insisting she feels like a "trapped animal", she writes: "All right, so I am sitting in the DJ booth at a club in Washington D.C. where Samantha is DJing.

Sep. 8, 2011 Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a therapy for a potentially deadly type of infection common in catheters, artificial joints and other "in-dwelling" medical devices. Their findings appear in the Open Access Journal PLoS Pathogens on September 8th.
The therapy targets fungal infections, which are hard to treat in such devices because they are composed of biofilms -- complex groupings of cells that attach to surfaces. Biofilms, in turn, are coated in a gooey matrix that resists drugs.
Patients often undergo surgical removal of the infected catheter or other device in an attempt to clear the disease and prevent a system-wide dispersal of infecting cells.
In this study, researchers showed that inhibiting the function of a protein called Hsp90 abolishes drug resistance in the two main fungal pathogens of humans, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. "It takes classic antifungals, which were not effective against biofilms, and makes them very effective," said Prof. Leah Cowen, principal investigator on the study who holds the Canada Research Chair in Microbial Genomics and Infectious Disease at U of T's Department of Molecular Genetics.
In an animal model of a central venous catheter infected with deadly fungus, the researchers were able to completely clear the infection by inhibiting Hsp90 and applying antifungals.
Fungal pathogens are a major clinical problem. Candida albicans is the third-leading cause of intravascular catheter-related infections, and is fatal in about 30% of infections associated with devices. And the number of acquired fungal bloodstream infections has increased by more than 200% over the last two decades, partly because successful treatments for previously fatal diseases like cancer and AIDS have left many patients immune-compromised and susceptible to infection.
With more than 10 million patients per year now receiving catheters, artificial joints and other devices, there is a pressing need for a better understanding of biofilms and their role in drug resistance of fungal pathogens.

Although you are taking pleasure in the comfort furnished by the burning firewood while camping out, have you ever considered the damage you're creating to the ecosystem. You may say that you are employing a small quantity of firelogs with regard to the fire. However, multiply this quantity with the number of people performing the same task on a daily basis and you will recognize much more about the quantity of trees cut daily. You can easily make use of a battery-powered heater to give you the warmth you need. This is simply a small illustration about the way we people are maltreating resources that nature provides us.
Here is one more example. Most people would rather get their bank statements like a printed record via the post. This requires paper produced from wood. You can perform a vital role in improving the ecology of your planet by opting to get the bank statement via email. By doing this, you are going to help protect trees that supply you with shelter and fresh air. In the event you were not sure, trees breathe in hazardous carbon dioxide and exhale essential oxygen. Most of us don't bother to switch off appliances when they're not essential. By doing so, we are drawing more power via the power plant. Aside from paying inflated energy bills, we are also causing trouble for the ecosystem.
For the uninitiated, nearly all power plants utilize non-renewable fuels to function. Our world does not have huge quantities of these fuels remaining and it is our responsibility to preserve them as much as we are able to. You are able to help preserve ecosystem in many ways. Turn off any devices that are not necessary. Turn off your car when you're waiting for the traffic signal to turn to green. In fact, if you need to travel a short length, stroll instead of making use of the automobile for the purpose. Only use the quantity of water you require. Instead of washing vegetable in running water, how come you not keep water inside a container and clean the vegetables in them?
Don't dispose of the water remaining, as you may use them to clean your utensils as well. Should you possess a yard, put in a clothesline over there and use natural sunlight to dry up your garments rather than using the dryer. In case you were not sure, the clothes dryer uses lots of energy. In the beginning, you might encounter some issues following these guidelines, but as you keep on utilizing them, it will become a habit.

. Porn Star Sabrina Snow is a delectable young beauty who is one of the industry's most enticing young talents. She's naturally a straight-haired brunette, but often sports a dyed-blonde, curly-haired look that's even more scrumptiously alluring. Sabrina's is one of the tightest, most perfectly proportioned natural bods in the biz, and her nipple and navel rings give ample evidence of her wanton wild side.
Sabrina was born in 1984, in Mesa, Arizona. She headed out to Porn Valley at the age of nineteen, her sights set on hardcore stardom. She made her debut in 'Nasty Newcummers 21,' trysting with Frank Gun in a steamy set-to. She eased her way into the scene with a couple more pro-am performances, including noteworthy turns in 'More Dirty Debutantes 255' and 'Up N Cummers 122,' where she joined Kurt Lockwood for a feverish fiesta.
Since her debut in 2003, Sabrina has been blazing a tenacious trail through the business. Among her best flicks is 'Good Girls Doing Bad Things,' in which she joins Julian for a high-energy boff session that builds and builds to an explosive and fiery finish. She's also great in 'Teens Goin' Wild 7,' taking on Mark Wood in a surprisingly sexy one-on-one grind.
Other great scenes include Sabrina's threesome with Ben English and Steve Holmes in '2 Dicks in 1 Chick 3,' where she proves more than capable of keeping up with two of the scene's hardiest hunks. Her torrid tussle with her hubby and Marty Romano in 'Screw My Wife, Please 33' also rocks.
Sabrina Snow continues to work her wanton magic in a whole slew of flicks. She's appeared in over forty features since her debut, and she shows no signs of slowing down. Fans of delectable natural curves won't want to miss a single shake and shimmy as Sabrina bumps and grinds her way to the top of the scene. She's easily one of the sexiest newcomers the industry has seen in years.

Bill Clinton is wrong.
As Reagan was going into reelection in 1984, the first four months of the year Jan-Apr employment increased 1,564,000 jobs and was sustained at 300,000 per month from May to October.
So Reagan could and did.
Obama had 469,000 job growth from January to April 2012 and is credited with the lowest level of adults participating in the job market since 1981 (start of Reagan's first term). And as reported last week, most of job growth is in food service and retail, low paying jobs.

A focus of neurorehabilitation is restoration of function. Recovered function utilizes existing neurological structures, as in unmasking, or relies upon the creation of new structures via neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, gliogenesis and angiogenesis. Neurorehabilitation facilitates, recruits and/or co-opts plasticity for re-acquisition of function. Recently, increased emphasis on disease processes initiated or accelerated by and disease management following traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been proposed, fundamentally restructuring how TBI is approached. A more comprehensive approach to neurorehabilitation and disease management following TBI may include the development of trophic, plasticity, metabolic, endocrine, neuromodulatory, and orthonutrient strategies that act to optimize neurophysiological function after TBI.
Neurodegenerative processes after TBI include microglial activation, increased oxidative stress, ROS production, increased hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, and cytokine activation which interact to impact overall mitochondrial stress. These processes may be influential in bioenergetic function during periods of high physiological demand such as during intense cortical reorganization. Additionally, strategies for residual and emerging neurological structures in the injured brain may be warranted and/or beneficial to either immediate function or to long-term neurophysiological health. For example, it appears that tau protein may be a factor for some genotypes in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Surveillance for testosterone insufficiency or deficiency might constitute a long-term endocrine intervention targeting slowing or preventing the development of tauopathy associated with CTE.
Novel adjuvant therapeutic approaches during chronic rehabilitation might include cellular metabolic targets such as ROS production, cytokine production, microglial activation and deactivation and organelle biosynthesis. Targets relative to metabolic stress management might include protection from oxygen and/or glucose deprivation, oxidative stress, CA+ loading and increased hyperphosphorylation of tau protein. Outcome goals might include prevention of disease processes such as seizures, lipid metabolism disorders, neuroendocrine insufficiencies or deficiencies, dementia or other neurodegenerative conditions.

Some thoughts on commissions from a commissioner.I commission art a lot. I've commissioned from many different artists all over the world. And after several years here are a few on my own personal thoughts on commissionsMore Like This
1. List you prices.
- Whether its flat rates or by the hour, artists that commissions should list their rates. Most the time the old saying "If you have to ask, it probably costs to much." really comes into play here. I'm so much more likely to commission someone where I can gauge my budget. I myself am a single income family of five. That means I have a budget. A budget means I shop around. So that means when I am comparing artists if I know what I can spend with one and not the other, I'm more likely to go with the one I know I can budget.
2. List your customers.
- It is so much easier for a person to know where they stand when you have them listed.
2½. Update your customers.
- Most artists have an idea how long something is going to take. Now it's understandable that the idea isn't always acc

Unbelievably bad customer service
By Orville Johnston, posted: Jan 31Tracfone is far and away the worst company I have ever dealt with. Their customer service is virtually non-existent. They use up all the airtime you purchase by keeping you on hold, being cut off and having to call back. I have yet to speak to anyone that I could understand even though I requested service in English. How they are allowed to operate in this fashion and remain in business is mind boggling. PEOPLE - DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND NEVER PURCHASE A TRACFONE. - 1.0 overall
My new phone sucks
By sammy2jr, posted: Jan 17I got my tracfone through the mail. Opened the box, put the battery cover on and it won't stay on. Either the cover is the wrong one or it's made wrong. I have tried putting it on several times and it keeps falling off. I think the plastic prongs are too short. What am I supposed to do with a phone that the cover won't stay on? The customer service department people (whom I can't understand) don't know what I should do. - 1.0 overall
Do not waste your time with TracFone
By Jonesies Jones, posted: Jan 6Our family recommends you go with some other service. TracFone has bad area coverage and the worst customer service next to T-Mobile. They want way too much personal information when you call for help,. that can take an average of 90 minutes! And you can't understand a word these foreigners are saying. You push one for English then you should expect to speak to someone who can fluently speak audible English. We just purchased a TracFone minute card and used a dime to scratch of the protective silver coating and it also removed the pin code numbers so we can't add your minutes. We have our receipt with authorization code etc...from the store the card was purchased and TracFone refuses to help without you first answering and providing personal information. The phone isn't the problem it is the crappy faulty/defective minute's card. Then they said we could Fax them with all our personal information before they will tell us how to fix the card. All they need is the minute's card number and the purchase authorization number from our receipt and they could have easily given us the pin code. Earlier this year we misplaced the phone and ran out of minutes and the phone SIM card expired, instead of just reactivating it, you have to give them all your personal information for them to send you a new SIM card, then you have to call them and spend another 128 minutes on the phone entering codes to reactivate your phone. Plus we lsot the 580 minutes we had saved up. They had record of the minutes and refused to reinstate them. It is not worth all the trouble and they are selling our private information they collect from us. We rate them -100! - 0.0 overall

By Steve Azzole, posted: Dec 12I have been a Tracfone customer for 4 years, upgraded my phone twice and I am completely satisfied. The three times I had to deal with customer service, they were fine, as a matter of fact, the first two times they were great, very competent . I do not know if things have change or some people have bad luck, but I am happy with Tracfone. I am a very light user of my phone but have with me most of the time, coverage has been very good though some texts seems to have gotten lost in the ether. I live in Minneapolis and do not travel much. I am thinking of upgrading once again to the lg 840g, I have to keep my fingers crossed while transferring my number and minutes. - 1.0 overall

It's good for what it is, not much else.
By Carl Hofelt, posted: Dec 12If I had it to do over, I'd probably have done a few things differently. I'm not certain how easy it is to port an existing # over to tracfone, and I know that dealing with customer service is total waste of time. Best policy is to not want anything that requires customer service. Also you shouldn't rely on tracfone as your only phone service. It's fine as long as you have a landline with at least the bare bones service. Here's how tracfone can work for you. Buy a phone and activate it, invest in the double minutes deal however you buy it (either the year of service and 800 minutes or the $15 double minute card with whatever other minutes you buy). Now don't let the phone go inactive for more than a few days and you're set. I let one of my phones go inactive for over 90 days and lost the minutes (over 200) I had on when I re-activated it. Lesson learned. If you choose to upgrade your Tracfone phone then plan on having the guy at radio shack (or whatever retailer you buy from) do it for you. That's what worked for me. Trying to do it yourself seems to pose a risk of having to deal with customer service (which you can see by the other reviews is a giant waste of time). Also keep your expectations low, you may not be able to keep your old #. Also, as a precautionary measure, don't switch while you have a lot of minutes in your bank, in case you lose 'em in the crossover. The one and only time I had to do this went without a hitch, and you probably won't have any problems, but I've heard enough stories to know that there's no guarantee. If I had it to do over again, I'd have bought a phone with a qwerty keypad, but that's not so big an issue. I'd probably text more if I had it, and that can save minutes for you. I only use this when I'm away from home or work. My typical call lasts about a minute or three. Probably less than 60 minutes a month, typically. Every once in a great while I need to make a call that lasts 45 minutes, so I try to keep at least 100 minutes in the bank. Bottom line, your phone isn't going to be your lifestyle. It's basic and it's cheap if it's not your primary phone. If this is your only phone then you are going to be broke in a hurry. - 1.0 overall
By Harry Troeger, posted: Dec 12DON'T USE TRACFONE UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO. Their customer service is terrible, you can barely understand their phone workers because the dialects are so strong, they repeat scripts over and over and over again and don't solve your problems! We have spent over 6 hours on the phone with them and repeated sim cards being sent....supposedly the cards take 3-5 business days but they take at least 10 days, and still don't work...AND we have been without a phone the entire time!! that means almost 3 weeks without a phone we have paid for....and they offered me 30 minutes as a compensation for all of our time lost and not being able to use a phone and the service we are paying for....what a joke!! this company is negligent and horrendous to deal with. NOT RECOMMENDED. AVOID THIS COMPANY. Tracfone obviously does not care about their reputation as they don't care about their customers. - 1.0 overall
They stold 796 minutes from us that we had built up! DONE!
By Debbie Diaz, posted: Nov 12We had tracfone for years. Around 10 months ago everything changed with them. Our phone place calls half of the time and within a 30 day period we saw 796 minutes disappear that we had built up over the years. Customer service will politely listen to you all day, but absolutely do not correct the situation. When those minutes dissappeared we were done. Do NOT invest in what appears to have become a failed phone system!

Titanic Music Interview 2
There has been a lot of debate around the last piece of music played when the Titanic went down. Rebecca Maxner tells us what convinced her that the final song was Songe d'Automne, not Nearer My God To Thee.
