Shaking in Texas makes officials worry about injection from drilling
AZLE, Texas -- To Rochelle Clark, the earthquake sounded like a thud. She thought it was her sons horsing around in an upstairs bedroom at her home just off the main highway here.
Eva Garcia, who runs a beauty shop around the corner from Clark's home, said she saw framed photos shaking on the walls. One of her customers felt a chair move.
It seems most people in this small suburb have felt the ground shake at one time or another in the past few weeks. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there have been 19 small earthquakes in the vicinity of Azle since Nov. 6, including a small one Tuesday. The strongest was a magnitude-3.6 quake Nov. 20.
"Unless you were laying in bed or sitting in an easy chair, you could feel it," said Leon Short, who has lived in the area for most of his 80 years.
There have been no injuries and no reports of property damage, but people here are beginning to get alarmed and are asking for answers, said Alan Brundrett, mayor of this bedroom community about 20 miles northwest of Fort Worth.
Brundrett and other elected officials have spoken to the Texas Railroad Commission, which oversees oil and gas development in the state, and hope the agency will investigate whether the quakes are related to the roughly six injection wells in the area that dispose of oil and gas drilling waste deep underground.
"If it is a man-made cause, my opinion is that man-made cause needs to stop," Brundrett said Tuesday.
So far, though, the investigation is off to a slow start. Railroad Commission inspectors have visited one of the wells in the area, said commission spokeswoman Gaye McElwain, and found that it is in compliance with agency rules. But agency rules don't address wells causing earthquakes.
USGS officials have been talking with researchers at Southern Methodist University about sending as many as four seismographs that SMU researchers could install near Azle. But it would be several days before they're in place.
"No one monitors earthquakes in the state of Texas," said Charlie Geren, a Republican state representative whose district includes Azle. Geren has spoken with researchers at the University of Texas and is sharing information with officials in Azle. But he said the responsibility for any further action lies with the Railroad Commission.
"When earthquakes are reported, our staff will determine if saltwater disposal wells are nearby and then inspect the facilities to ensure that they are in compliance with their Railroad Commission permit conditions," McElwain said. "Staff has not identified a significant correlation between faulting and injection practices."
Getting to the cause
In other states, oil and gas agencies evaluating whether injection caused earthquakes have turned to organizations with more dedicated expertise in geology and quakes. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources in 2012 brought in scientists from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory who linked injection to series of quakes in Youngstown (Greenwire, March 9, 2012). Oil and gas officials at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission have deferred to the state Geological Survey when looking at several quakes reported to be linked to oil and gas activities.
Seismologists say the first step in figuring out whether the earthquakes are man-made would be getting more accurate locations for the epicenters of the quakes. The closest monitoring instrument is about 60 miles away from Azle, so the locations being provided by USGS aren't very precise.
That distance has also caused more obvious problems. USGS on Tuesday had to revise its initial report that the most recent quake measured magnitude 3.4, when it determined that the quake was actually a much weaker 2.7.
The agency's map of earthquakes shows a shotgun pattern around the Azle area. With precise location information, the quakes would probably start lining up along underground faults, said Rob Williams, a research geophysicist in the Denver office of USGS.
"There may be some patterns we could detect," Williams said.
Texas already has had some of the best-documented seismic activity around injection wells. Researchers have linked injection to earthquakes in the Haynesville Shale in East Texas and the Barnett Shale in the Dallas area (EnergyWire, Aug. 7, 2012). Chesapeake Energy Corp. shut down two wells linked to quakes near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport in 2009.
Another Chesapeake injection well near Cleburne was also voluntarily shut in after nearby earthquakes in 2009. On Tuesday, researchers at SMU released a study saying the series of earthquakes could have been caused by injection.
Researchers at the University of Texas have also linked small, barely felt earthquakes to oil extraction in the Eagle Ford in South Texas. And they found that underground injection of carbon dioxide to boost oil production "may have contributed to triggering" a series of earthquakes north of Snyder several years ago.
What's shaking Azle?
The earthquakes here started small last month, with a magnitude-2.6 quake Nov. 6. They then rose in strength to a magnitude-3.6 on Nov. 20 and have been smaller since.
That's unusual for the area, said SMU seismology professor Brian Stump, who has studied earthquakes in North Texas for years.
"It's an area that hasn't historically had earthquakes," Stump said.
Williams of USGS said there are no active faults in the area.
Azle abuts a man-made reservoir, Eagle Mountain Lake, that supplies water to Fort Worth and other cities. A 2007 analysis found that the lake's 80-year-old earthen dam can withstand a magnitude-6 or -7 earthquake, said Louie Verreault, an engineer with the Tarrant Regional Water District, the organization that runs the lake. Instruments that measure ground movement and soil pressure show the dam hasn't been affected by the recent tremors.
The three active wells closest to Azle are run by EverVest Operating LLC of Houston; Bridgeport Tank Trucks in Bridgeport, Texas; and XTO Energy, an Exxon Mobil subsidiary based in Fort Worth, according to state records.
An XTO spokeswoman said its well had been operating for about four years with no trouble. The other companies didn't respond to calls seeking comment.
Scientists have known for decades that underground injection of fluid can lubricate faults and unleash earthquakes. Some seismologists now think the boom in shale drilling in the United States -- and the wastewater it produces -- might be causing a sharp increase in the number of earthquakes in the middle of the country.
Next door in Oklahoma, there has been surge of earthquakes since 2009. Oklahoma's 240 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater since then represent 10 percent of the earthquakes in the lower 48 states, second only to California (EnergyWire, Dec. 2).
Researchers and state officials have also linked such deep injection wells to earthquakes in Arkansas, Ohio and Colorado. More "earth-friendly" procedures, such as geothermal energy production and carbon sequestration, can also set the earth rumbling.
Oil and gas production is regulated almost entirely by states. But a federal law, the Safe Drinking Water Act, governs underground injection of drilling wastewater. U.S. EPA regulates disposal directly in a few states, such as Pennsylvania. But in Texas and most other drilling states, it has handed day-to-day regulation to the state.
The Safe Drinking Water Act doesn't make it illegal to cause an earthquake. Instead, EPA seeks to prevent earthquakes because they might harm the underground sources of drinking water that the act does protect.

Charles Manson follower seeks freedom, more than 40 years after LaBianca murders
Leslie Van Houten will ask before a parole board on Tuesday to be released from prison -- four decades after being convicted in the Manson murders.
Van Houten, 60, was convicted in the 1969 killings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in their home in Los Feliz. She has sought parole more than a dozen times -- and has always been rejected.
Leslie Van Houten, a former homecoming princess from Monrovia, became alienated from her family as a teenager and said she was introduced to Manson by a boyfriend. She said she came to view Manson as Jesus Christ and believed in his bizarre plan to commit murders and blame African Americans in hopes of sparking a race war.
"I'm deeply ashamed of it," she told a parole board in 2002. "I take very seriously not just the murders but what made me make myself available to someone like Manson."
Van Houten has been characterized by supporters as the least culpable member of the so-called Manson family. She did not take part in the Aug. 9, 1969, killings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others at Tate's rented Benedict Canyon home.
She did, however, willingly join Manson and others the following night when they invaded the LaBianca home, chosen at random. She held down Rosemary LaBianca while she was stabbed by an accomplice and, when told to "do something" by cohort Charles "Tex" Watson, she stabbed the woman about two dozen times in the back.
Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Stephen Kay told a parole board in 2002 that such "vicious" acts make parole for Van Houten at any time unwise. Kay, who took part in four of the Manson trials, has attended all 58 parole hearings for each of the five imprisoned murderers.

Students gather to wrap presents for children in need
School gathers more than 1,000 gifts
Students at Cincinnati Country Day finished donating more than a ton of turkey to people in need for Thanksgiving. Now, they're making sure children across the Tri-State have presents to unwrap for the holidays.
With the help of the school's choir, students got into the holiday spirit and they're looking more like Santa's little helpers as they wrap gifts for the 8th annual wrap-in.
"I think it's cool we're helping the less fortunate," Michelle Capone said.
The gifts will go to non-profit organizations to be handed out to children. It's a project that goes hand in hand with the school's mission of service to others.
"The reason we do that is that our children have been blessed and have been given so much," headmaster Dr. Rob Macrae said. "We teach the old adage 'To whom much is given, much is expected.'"
Older students were paired with younger ones, and for Caleb Tregre and his sister Salome, it was also a time to catch up.
"I see her a little bit here and there, but just to be able to talk with her about school and how things are going and stuff like that is awesome, it feels good," Caleb said.
"It's really fun because I can just chat with him and I'm with all my friends wrapping presents," Salome said.
In the pile of presents, there is anything from footballs to Barbies. But other gifts didn't come in the form of a toy. Instead, there were letters written to the men and women of the armed forces.
"Thank you, we are so blessed to have someone like you protecting us, I hope you are here for the next holiday, you are awesome. Keep fighting hard. Michelle Capone," she said.
Students went way over their goal of collecting more than 1,000 gifts, which they will later bag up and send off to children in need.

Technical Paper
Unregulated and Regulated Emissions from Biodiesel Fuelled CRDI SUV Engine
Use of biodiesel from non-edible vegetable oil as an alternative fuel to mineral diesel is attractive economically and environmentally. Diesel engines emit several harmful gaseous emissions and some of them are regulated worldwide, while countless others are not regulated. These unregulated species are associated with severe health hazards. Karanja biodiesel is a popular alternate fuel in South Asia and various governments are considering its large-scale implementation. Therefore it is important to study the possible adverse impact of this new alternate fuel. In this study, unregulated and regulated emissions were measured at varying engine speeds (1500, 2500 and 3500 rpm) for various engine loads (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% rated load) using 20% Karanja biodiesel blend (KB20) and diesel in a 4-cylinder 2.2L common rail direct injection (CRDI) sports utility vehicle (SUV) engine.

Canada has a new development partner in the Arab world, and the foreign-aid minister says it could help the federal government navigate the complex Middle East in the fight against poverty.
Canada signed a development co-operation agreement with the United Arab Emirates this week at a major international development meeting in Mexico.
The deal's main goals are to reduce poverty, support economic growth and promote human rights.
More broadly, it helps position Canada as a friend to the Arab world at a time when the Harper government is seen as unabashedly pro-Israel.
Development Minister Christian Paradis said Canada was looking forward to working with the U.A.E., and touted his counterpart, Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, as "a great woman."
Mr. Paradis said the U.A.E. wants to tap Canada for its development expertise as its own international aid agency is being launched. And he said the U.A.E. can help Canada better target aid dollars to the so-called Arab Street.
"They are very knowledgeable, they can direct us on some practical measures on the ground," Mr. Paradis said in an interview from Mexico City.
"We have a good reputation and they want to replicate our public policy."
The deal echoes the bridge building that Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has undertaken with the U.A.E., an influential ally of Canada in the Arab and Muslim world.
A year ago, Mr. Baird and his U.A.E. counterpart, Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, resolved a three-year diplomatic dispute by announcing the end of a visa on Canadian travellers to the Emirates.
The two countries became embroiled in a dispute that started when Canada declined to give additional landing rights to a pair of U.A.E. airlines. The U.A.E. evicted the Canadian Forces from a military base near Dubai, which had been an important staging ground for the Afghanistan mission.
Mr. Baird expended much energy in trying to repair the relationship, and appeared to do so by forging a close working relationship with Sheik Zayed.
The countries have since signed a nuclear co-operation deal and have created a Canada-U.A.E. business council to improve commercial relationships.
Mr. Paradis said he's keen to forge foreign-aid partnerships that recognize the need to engage with private sector partners.
As the Mexico meeting wrapped, Mr. Paradis announced two more projects Thursday designed to increase private-sector involvement in international development. They include the Frontier Markets project, which will offer help to small and medium-sized businesses in anti-poverty projects in developing countries.
The private-sector focus in development has opened the government to criticism. But Mr. Paradis said he held discussions with many like-minded countries in Mexico last week, including France, which has an "economic diplomacy" model similar to the new approach announced by Canada late last year.
The world will be moving into a new phase in the anti-poverty fight as the era of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals draws to a close next year.
Mr. Paradis said Canada will be pushing for greater private-sector involvement in the creation of a new set of post-2015 development goals.
"We will have to think about innovative financial tools for sure," he said.
"Down the road, what we want to keep in mind is these goals are for the eradication of poverty."

There was a home winner on the eighth stage of the Tour de France while Vincenzo Nibali remains in the yellow jersey after a thrilling battle with Alberto Contador.
Blel Kadri dragged himself over the line, rain soaked, after a 161km ride from Tomblaine to Gerardmer La Mauselaine, his victory itself a story as he went solo after being part of a breakaway that had featured gutsy Brit Simon Yates.
But as Frenchman Kadri crossed the line, Nibali had to dig as deep as he could to stay with Contador who, with a kilometre or so to go tried to drop the Astana rider.
All he saw was a magnificent response from Nibali who went with him and lost just three seconds of his overall lead to the Spaniard, but increased it to a minute and 44 seconds over second-placed team-mate Jakob Fuglsang.
Contador is two minutes and 34 seconds down in sixth, while away from the scrap between he and Nibali, Team Sky's new leader Richie Porte moved up to third overall, although he has lost four more seconds to Nibali, trailing by a minute and 58 seconds.
For so long it had looked as though Bury's Yates would be in the mix at the end, sticking with the breakaway he joined 35 kilometres in until they approached the gruelling climax of the first of three successive days in the Vosges.
The final 30 kilometres saw the category climbs of the Col de la Croix des Moinats and the Col de Grosse Pierre, while the steep finish at La Mauselaine did its best to separate the challengers from the rest.
Yates battled gamely but was duly eaten up by the peloton, with Contador, Nibali and Porte emerging as the big three as the Tour reaches its one-week mark.
The big loser was Andrew Talansky who crashed on the ride down the Grosse Pierre, losing over two minutes on his yellow jersey rivals.
It was a positive day for Porte, who is adapting to the role of Sky's main man after defending champion Chris Froome had to abandon injured.
Speaking to ITV4, he said: "I'm happy with how that went, it is not really my bread and butter and I think that on the longer climbs I will be better."
He acknowledged that the aggressive riding of Contador's team had changed the landscape, though.
"Tinkoff Saxo are riding very aggressively from a long way out, a bit like Team Sky used to do," he said.
Sunday's ninth stage is a 170-kilometre hike from Gerardmer to Mulhouse.

I own a phonograph record titled "If the Bomb Falls."
Subtitled "A Recorded Guide to Survival," the record was produced by the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization in the early 1960s and offered suggestions on how to survive a nuclear attack on the U.S. Those of us who were around in that Cold War era lived with an omnipresent fear that missiles could come raining down at any time.
As you might expect, the narrator on the record speaks in ominous tones. Dig that shelter, stock it properly and cross your fingers. Many Americans did just that. We were all instructed that when the bombs started falling, we'd tune to our Conelrad stations at 640 or 1240 on our AM dials and await further news.
While the record painted a bleak picture of our futures, I was always grateful that they didn't title it "When the Bomb Falls."
I thought of the record last week as fires were consuming huge portions of Southern California. Many people fled their homes with little or no advance warning. Some lost everything to the flames; others fared better. I grieve for those whose family heirlooms and mementos were vaporized. I also wonder what I would do if I was faced with a similar situation.
While many of our important family papers and documents are stored in a fireproof safe or in an off-site safety deposit box, many similar items are on display throughout the house. It's impractical to think we could save much with, say, 5 minutes warning, but we could do better if we had a plan.
What are you doing to safeguard your valuable items in case of a disaster? April Hauck over at doyouQ? has some thoughts on the subject. Becky Wiseman suggests in this Kinexxions post that you might want to work on a "bug out box" if you don't already have one.

Once Bolt retires from competition, he will be paid $4 million per year to act as a Puma ambassador, the source added.
Jamaica's global superstar Usain Bolt will earn an estimated $10 million a year after renewing a sponsorship deal with German sportswear company Puma that will take him to the end of his career.
The Jamaican, the highest earner in his sport, will remain with Puma until after the 2016 Olympics when he will seek to add to his six gold medals.
Bolt, 27, signed up with Puma as a teenager a decade ago and the renewal of the contract is a fillip for a brand struggling to keep pace with larger rivals Adidas and Nike.
Bolt will be paid $10 million for each of the next three seasons and the same amount if he competes again in 2017 when London hosts the world championships, an industry source said.
Once he retires from competition, he will be paid $4 million per year to act as a Puma ambassador, the source added.
Forbes estimated that Bolt was paid $9 million annually under his current deal that expires at the end of the year.
"I have always been very happy to be a part of the Puma family, I am proud to represent them and delighted to continue with them for the years ahead," Bolt said in a statement.
New Puma CEO Bjorn Gulden, who took the job in July, had made the renewal one of his initial priorities after the company said it was ending its sponsorship of the Oracle Americas Cup sailing team and European rugby union.
Gulden called Bolt a perfect ambassador for Puma.
"He will play a crucial role in our future product concepts as well as brand communications leading towards the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 and beyond," Gulden said.
Bolt is world record holder over both the 100 and 200 metres and his performances and charisma make him the stand-out performer in a sport that struggles to maintain a high media profile beyond the Olympics.
Puma, controlled by French luxury goods group Kering, has suffered falling sales and profits after focusing on fashion products rather than running shoes and soccer gear. Kering has criticised Puma in the past for not making enough of its sponsorship of Bolt.
The German sportswear company is reportedly set to replace Nike as kit supplier to English Premier League club Arsenal from next season. It already has a similar deal with German Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund.
Bolt ranked 40th on the Forbes list of the world's best paid sports stars, the richest track and field athlete. He had estimated annual earnings of $24.2 million over the past year, the bulk of which came from endorsements, Forbes said.
In addition to its contract with Bolt, Puma has a longstanding commitment to Jamaican track & field. The deal is a boost for Puma as it continues to take on bigger sportswear rivals Adidas and Nike.

The four sisters who took on Botswana's chiefs - and won
By Pumza Fihlani
BBC News, Kanye, Botswana
- Published
In many countries across Africa, the right of the firstborn male, or closest male relative, to inherit family property - is still standard practice. Women are denied the right to inherit the family estate purely because of their gender, a custom that is upheld by some traditional leaders.
But four sisters in Botswana did something that no-one there thought was possible - they took on tradition and won.
Last month, a five-year legal struggle ended with a landmark victory to Edith Mmusi (80) and her three sisters Bakhani Moima (83), Jane Lekoko (77), and Mercy Ntsehkisang (68).
Inside her modest home in a village in Kanye, a small town south of the capital Gaborone, Ms Mmusi has a wry smile as she speaks of the lengthy case.
"It took resilience and courage to get this far. It was a stressful time for the family that gave me many sleepless nights. I am glad it is finally over," she says.
This is the family's ancestral home - a compound of some eight concrete houses in various sizes, built on the Ramantele family plot.
Over the years it was sub-dived to accommodate members of the family who wanted to live close to the elders. The house at the centre of the row was built on the land where Ms Mmusi's old family home once stood.
What remains of that house is a wall of mud, bricks and mortar, the only reminder of the house Ms Mmusi and her sisters had lived in with their parents as young girls.
"This is the only home we've known here. We helped to build one of the first mud houses in this big yard," she tells me, a big smile on her face.
It is easy to see that this place means a lot to them, as they share their childhood memories of growing up here.
When their father died, Ms Mmusi and her sisters contributed to the upkeep of the homestead and looked after their mother until her death in 1988.
In court the sisters argued that they were entitled to the family home as they had used their own finances to renovate the property.
Belittled culture?
The Appeals Court agreed, finding that denying them this right went against the constitution.
But this was not an easy victory.
Traditional values are held in high regard here, as in many rural areas in Africa.
Tswana custom prescribes that the family home is inherited either by the first-born or last-born son, depending on the community.
As a result, their nephew had earlier won the case at the Customary Court of Appeal which found that under his ethnic group's customs, women could not inherit the family home.
That court had ordered that Edith and her sisters be evicted from the family home.
As a last-ditch attempt to avoid eviction, the sisters took the matter to the High Court and later the Appeals Court, which both ruled in the women's favour.
But this has been a bitter-sweet time for the family, and the matter has caused divisions in the family.
Some male members feel the women belittled their culture by challenging it, Ms Mmusi tells me.
Something she says she hopes will change with time.
"Customs and culture have no place in the modern world because women are still oppressed in the name of culture."
"What makes men [especially the staunch traditionalists] think they have power over us? We are all equal in God's eyes," she adds, the smile now gone.
Tradition vs modern society
But why are some people against women inheriting the family home?
In its broadest sense, traditionalists argue that the only way of preserving family wealth is by passing on the inheritance only to the males, arguing that women may take that wealth to another family after they marry.
But African cultural expert Moses Twala, of the Kara Heritage Institute, believes this ruling should compel traditional leaders to take a closer look at what they are doing.
"Culture is not static, culture is dynamic because it conforms to the times, especially with the fact that people are getting more and more modernised with the times," he says.
He says inheritance should not be seen as something that will benefit one person, but rather as something that will see to the wellbeing of the entire family once the head of that home has died.
He argues that women are as capable of carrying that responsibility as males.
"A family is not one person only who is a male. Females also play a very big role also in uniting the very same family even when males are present," he told the BBC.
But Botswana is largely a conservative country. While a handful of chiefs in Botswana are for promoting gender equality, they say this should be done in a manner that still shows respect to age-old traditions.
"Yes culture is dynamic but tradition is important, the role of tradition is to preserve our identity. We would like to preserve our culture and live in the way that our great-grandfathers lived," says Chief Gaseintswe Malope II.
As head of the Bangwaketse people, the third biggest community in Botswana, he says it is his responsibility to make sure his people honour their traditions.
Modern law and African culture are in many instances still poles apart and sometimes in direct contradiction, according to women right's activists.
Women's Inheritance Now, a group advocating the inheritance rights of women, believes the judgment will go a long way to bring change to Botswana.
Back in Kanye, Ms Mmusi is hopeful that the case will inspire other women to stand up for what they believe in.
"It will give them motivation and comfort that they are not the only ones going through that, where they are. We hope they will say: 'These women took action and they won' and do the same too. We are overjoyed," she says.

Recipe: Sockeye salmon with green garlic and favas
Sockeye salmon with green garlic and favas
Total time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Note: Sockeye salmon is available from fish markets and select well-stocked markets. Green garlic is available seasonally from farmers markets and select well-stocked supermarkets.
2 pounds whole fava beans
4 (5-ounce) skin-on fillets sockeye salmon
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced green garlic, from about 4 stalks cleaned and sliced crosswise (both white and green parts)
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1. Prepare the favas: Peel the fava beans out of the pods; you should have about 3 cups. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the shelled favas for 2 minutes. Cool in an ice bath. Peel the outer skin from each bean and set aside; you will have about 1 1/2 cups.
2. Season the salmon fillets with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it just begins to smoke, add the salmon, skin-side down (be careful; the oil will splatter when the fish is added). Cook the salmon until the skin begins to crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic to the pan with the fish.
4. Using a soup spoon, spoon the hot olive oil over the fish (do not turn it over), tilting the pan to spoon it up. Stir the garlic around the fish so that it cooks evenly while you continue to spoon the hot oil over the fish. Do this until the fish is cooked to the desired doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan.
5. Add the fava beans to the pan, along with the juice and zest from the lemon and as many grinds of black pepper as you like. Cook just until the favas are warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon the favas and garlic among 4 plates, topping the mixture with the fish, skin-side up. Spoon some pan juices over the fish and serve immediately.

While Thomas Vermaelen may wear the captain's armband, surely Jack Wilshere is the real heart and soul of the current Arsenal side? The midfield schemer produced an outstanding display at the Emirates on Wednesday night, as the home side deservedly overcame Swansea 1-0.
The first-half was full of pretty passing from both sides but little in the way of real goalmouth drama, although the Swans almost took the lead at the end of the first period, only for former Gunner Kyle Bartley's headed effort to come back off the bar.
After the break, Arsenal came out all guns blazing, with Wilshere driving his side forward from his advanced midfield role. However, despite creating chance after chance (with Giroud and Walcott the most wasteful), the Gunners failed to make their dominance count until the 86th minutes, when Wilshere fired home superbly after a clever flick from Olivier Giroud. And that was that.
Arsenal will now face a potentially tricky tie away at Brighton, although if the rest of the Arsenal squad can start to match Wilshere both in terms of passion and technique, then the future could be bright for the inconsistent north Londoners.
Swansea, on the other hand, can now focus on getting to the final of the Capital One Cup.

HAMPTON — Selectmen may sponsor a warrant article next spring to create a town forest in order to protect an area that is currently used for personal recreation and wildlife habitats.
HAMPTON — Selectmen may sponsor a warrant article next spring to create a town forest in order to protect an area that is currently used for personal recreation and wildlife habitats.
Hampton Conservation Commission Chairman Jay Diener appeared before selectmen Monday night to present a proposal for establishing the "Twelve Shares" area of town — a wooded area bounded by the North Hampton town line, Mill Road, Barbour Road, Woodland Road and Munsey Drive — as the official Hampton town forest.
The forest is mentioned in Hampton's master plan, and past Town Meeting appropriations have referenced a town forest despite the fact that no such place has ever formally been established, according to officials.
Diener said it's "important to have the residents of Hampton involved" in the process to create a town forest, which is why he asked selectmen Monday to also seek approval to establish a committee to oversee the forest and create a map of the trails and streams within it, among other things.
"There are a lot of people who use Twelve Shares … for a variety of activities," said Diener.
Town Manager Fred Welch said a Town Meeting vote is required to establish a town forest, and he said state statutes require a committee of "three to five members" to oversee it. He said the latter point doesn't prohibit additional conservationists and other individuals from working on the project.
Diener said he'd also like add additional trail markings, signage, benches and trash cans to parts of the forest to help increase the ease of its use and to limit the impact to wildlife due to waste and potentially damaging off-trail activities.
Another provision Diener said he'd like to see as part of the warrant article is the creation of a new Web site in order to establish an interactive place where people can go to learn more about the forest, its trails and the overall plan for the area.
Selectmen Vice Chairman Mary-Louise Woolsey said she "strongly" supports the plan, although she said she'd like to see "some type of provisions" for "enforcement" and protection of the area. Woolsey, who lives near Twelve Shares, said it's "one of the last forested areas in town."
"There are so few places for animals to go now," said Woolsey, who along with the rest of the board voted Monday to authorize Diener's efforts to move forward. "It's one of the few (wooded) places left in the east part of town to enjoy."

Versterken van Eurostat,versterking van statistieken van hoge kwaliteit (en)
The role and responsibilities of Eurostat, the EU statistical office, have been clarified and reinforced in a Decision adopted by the Commission today. This is another important step forward in ensuring high quality, reliable and independent European statistics. Today's Decision reflects the need to strengthen the governance of European statistics, taking into account significant developments in recent years, not least the central role that Eurostat now plays in European economic governance. Through the Decision, the Commission pledges to uphold the independence of Eurostat and it's Director-General in their tasks, and ensure high-quality standards are respected for European statistics.
Algirdas Semeta, Commissioner responsible for Statistics, said: "Today the Commission is leading by example. We are formally enshrining in Eurostat the principles and standards that we expect in national statistical authorities. Immense work has been done in recent years to ensure that European statistics are credible, impartial, usable and accessible to all. This work is paying off, and the EU has advanced towards a world-class statistical system that underpins sound policy-making and better economic governance."
The credibility of statistics relies on their impartiality, objectivity and freedom from political interference or influence. The independence of statistical offices is therefore of paramount importance. In line with what has been advocated for national statistical authorities, Eurostat's professional independence is firmly set down in today's Decision. In particular, the independence of the head of Eurostat, who is the Chief Statistician, is underlined. Transparent recruitment and dismissal procedures are required for the Chief Statistician, based on professional criteria only, and he/she must act in an entirely autonomous manner in carrying out his/her tasks. These tasks include deciding on how, when and what European statistics are produced, and ensuring that these statistics are developed and disseminated in line with the Code of Practice. Eurostat is in charge of coordinating statistical activities within the Commission, to ensure coherence and comparability of European statistics. This coordination, along with closer cooperation between Eurostat and other Commission services on statistical matters, will ensure a better reaction to future challenges. It will also allow more efficient use of the Union's resources and help to reduce the response burden.
Guaranteeing the quality of European statistics is also given much prominence in today's Decision. Eurostat is responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality of data that it collects and receives, and for verifying data in the context of the EU's enhanced economic governance. It also monitors the implementation of the European Statistics Code of Practice at national level. To secure public trust, a process of labelling European statistics, so as to distinguish them from other statistics, is promoted. The Decision makes reference to Eurostat's new mandate to carry out investigations, particularly where manipulation is suspected, by applying all the powers that it has been granted.
Today's Decision on Eurostat serves as a renewed Commitment on Confidence in Statistics by the Commission for the European statistics developed, produced and disseminated by Eurostat. As such, it mirrors the requirements at national level set out in the recently proposed amendment to the Regulation on European statistics (see IP/12/375).

Earlier this week we featured a great try saving tackle from Tim Nanai-Williams, but he wasn't the only one putting in a massive effort at the weekend. Zee Ngwenya, the USA Eagles and Biarritz flyer, made two great tackles during defeat to Leinster at the RDS.
The Irish powerhouses reached the Amlin Challenge Cup final with a convincing 44-16 victory, booking themselves a meeting with Stade Francais in the final in Dublin on May 17th.
Zee Ngwenya, the speedster who first came to prominence at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, made two great try-saving tackles during the match, first on Sexton as he chased back and got under the ball to prevent a try, and then on Ian Madigan.
Madigan intecepted and ran the eighty odd metres before being brought down just five out.
As with Nanai-Williams, Ngwenya was penalised however, and received a yellow card that swung things truly in Leinster's favour. They went on to score five tries in total.
It was a game that produced few chances for the Zimbabwean born winger, but it was good to see such a great effort from a player that is not only lightning fast, but clearly always committed too.

Colorful banners staked in the ground just off Spring Street beckoned: Cocktails! Happy hour! The Boat House! Aye, aye, captain.
After following the curves of Sauder Road, we arrived at this restaurant, on one of the most killer spots on the Scioto River. The views from the brick patio and from the window-lined dining room are stunning - a full panorama of the city skyline opens beyond the water.
The restaurant, better known as a site for wedding receptions and meetings, has recently rebranded itself and is trying to come across as less stuffy and more of a casual happy hour and dinner spot. Some growing pains were evident when we visited. But there was plenty to like, too.
If weather absolutely prevents you from being on the patio, the carved bar is a good substitute perch. It's at one end of the dining room, with nice views of the skyline outward and an exposed-beam ceiling above.The booze:
The bar is clearly trying to make its mark in cocktails. Try the Gin Gin Mule, a cocktail with Bombay Sapphire gin, lime juice, simple syrup, ginger beer and mint. There are also options for the calorie-conscious, with a 160-calorie margarita and a Skinny Colada. Just two beers were on tap - Yuengling and Bell's Oberon - but that's bolstered by a small selection of bottled beers and a California-friendly wine list.The food:
Start with Calamari ($5), fried crisp in a buttermilk batter and served alongside aioli punched with some cayenne heat. The Fried Zucchini & Tomato ($5) also came with aioli, this one blended with basil. The tomato was the real treat; it was coated in seasoned bread crumbs and had dehydrated a bit in the cooking process, concentrating its sweet flavor. Coconut Shrimp ($6) flirted with being too sweet, and it was disappointing to find the "Thai chili sauce" advertised on the menu was actually yet another flavored aioli.

Dana White probably hit the nail right on the head, and it's something he's far too used to.
"It never ends," the UFC president said in a Wednesday post on Twitter announcing the latest injury to blindside the promotion a short time before a main event: Shane Carwin is injured and out of his fight against Roy Nelson.
Carwin (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Nelson (17-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) were scheduled to meet in the main event of the TUF 16 Finale a month from now in Las Vegas.
The TUF 16 Finale takes place Dec. 15 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The main card airs on FX.
White said on Twitter that Carwin blew out his knee and that the promotion has already begun seeking a new opponent to face Nelson on the card. Carwin and Nelson coached opposite each other on the current 16th season of "The Ultimate Fighter," which taped over the summer and currently airs on Friday nights on FX.
Carwin, a former interim UFC heavyweight champion, was going to be fighting for the first time in 18 months. He's been sidelined with back and neck injuries and subsequent surgeries. Now he can add a knee injury to his list of recent ailments. There was no immediate word just how severe the injury is or whether it will require surgery, so Carwin's new timetable for a return is unknown.
His last victory came at UFC 111 with a first-round knockout of Frank Mir that took his record to 12-0 with 12 first-round stoppages. He won the interim title in that fight, and then met Brock Lesnar for the undisputed belt at UFC 116. After a dominant first round against the champ, Carwin gassed out in the second round and ultimately tapped to an arm triangle choke.
At UFC 131 in June 2011, he fought Junior Dos Santos in a title elimination fight and lost by unanimous decision. That was his last trip to the octagon.
The dynamic between Carwin and Nelson on the show, as well as through social media during the run of the taped series, has been mostly combative, making a fight between the two big men at least intriguing from a personalities standpoint, even if the winner wasn't going to find himself immediately in the thick of the heavyweight title chase.
Nelson, who has won two of his past three fights, now awaits a new opponent for the card. And Carwin's fighting future becomes clouded and uncertain yet again.
For more on The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

That's why we always recommend to - if possible - book a guided visit to our venues and accommodations.
What does the tour include ?
We try to adapt as much as possible to your schedule, but if possible, we like to start around 10 in the morning at the meeting point, and we start with a short talk so we really get to understand what makes your dream wedding.
In total we have about 30 venues, and it's not possible to visit them all in one day, nor is there need to, because the venues can be divided in various types.
We never pre-plan a fixed itinerary for the tour. Instead we start at the first venue based on the preferences for your dream wedding, and then based on your evaluation and comments, we select and go to the next venue, and so on.
Between venues you accompany us in our car ( max 3 persons ) so that while driving, we can further answer your questions and give info about our services.
On average, we visit 5-10 venues and/or accommodations, and the tour usually ends around 4 in the afternoon, when at the last venue, we sit down and evaluate the tour, answer your remaining questions, go over the wedding plan and discuss the next steps.
The cost of the guided tour, including the 1-month save the date option is 99 €, including v.a.t. If - during the option period - you decide to entrust the planning of your wedding to Costa Blanca Events, then the 99 € is booked as a deposit for your wedding.
To book a guided visit to our venues and accommodations, please fill out this simple agreement. If you have a preferred wedding date, then you request a 1-month option. This allows you to plan your visit to the Costa Blanca without the risk of having your preferred wedding date already reserved by another couple.
If you don't have a preferred wedding date, then you can take an option on a date during the tour.
This will allow you to review our quotation, ask questions, make changes, ... based on the venues you seen, or chosen, without the risk of having another couple reserving your preferred date while you're still deciding.

Yost pleased with pitchers' early workouts
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- After the first two days of pitcher-catcher workouts, the Royals' Ned Yost is a happy manager.
"Everybody's gone through one round of BP -- a five-minute side and a five-minute on-the-mound session -- and to a man, they all looked tremendous," Yost said. "Everything we do is geared around their conditioning and getting them in shape to play baseball."
Among others on Wednesday, he watched starting pitchers James Shields, Jeremy Guthrie, Ervin Santana and Wade Davis work against hitters in batting practice.
"You get everybody through it healthy -- that's the goal. And then you get 'em all through it healthy and throwing strikes and that's a real plus," Yost said. "And everybody, to a man, has felt really good when they come off the mound and they've all been banging strikes. So I'm pleased with all that."
Yost was asked if he sensed any difference in his pitchers this year because of the significant offseason upgrades to the staff.
"We're seeing much more consistency in the strike zone than we have in years past here, which is a real plus -- because it only gets sharper from here," Yost said. "But it's been pretty fun to watch."

Microsoft really is watching us all from above and even has a new way of doing so, thanks to this week's release of the UltraCam Falcon, a camera dedicated to aerial photography.
The UltraCam comes from an Austrian Microsoft outpost that Redmond says "brings more than two decades of photogrammetry expertise to Microsoft's Bing Maps business unit" and which "develops camera systems and software systems specifically for Microsoft's Bing Maps program. This includes fully automated orthorectification software being used by Microsoft to process many thousands of UltraCam images for the Bing Maps mapping platform and web site."
UltraCam appears to have grown out of Vexcel, a system integrator Microsoft owns and which specialises in geospatial applications.
The UltraCam line comprises three aerial cameras, the UltraCamLp, the Eagle and now the Falcon. Redmond can also sell you an UltraMount "GSM gyro-stabilized mounts" to hang your UltraCam out of a plane.
The new camera sits between the other two and is being spruiked as an upgrade and/or replacement in the mid-market aerial imaging caper.
Microsoft's UltraCam Falcon aerial imaging camera, atop an UltraMount
The Falcon captures images at 14,430 x 9,420 pixels, generates 418MB per frame and spits images out as JPG or TIFF files. Those files end up in a special SSD-laden storage device with a capacity, after application of an undisclosed RAID level, of 3.3 terabytes. That's enough, in a craft travelling at 140 knots, to record eight hours of aerial imagery. Microsoft offers additional storage units for those that need extra capacity and don't want to touch between downloads.
The Falcon can even be upgraded to the top-of-the-line Eagle, a beast whose images reach 260 megapixels.
We've no idea if the upgrade technology involved can turn a Surface tablet into an ultrabook. But we're not going to give up on the idea. ®

For the first time in Cheerios history, and only the second time in General Mills history, one of the many 30-second ads that will air during the Super Bowl will feature cereal.
For the first time in Cheerios history, and only the second time in General Mills history, one of the many 30-second ads that will air during the Super Bowl will feature round-shaped cereal. The only other time General Mills has chosen to run an advertisement during the Super Bowl was in 1996 with a Wheaties ad. But ever since the company received racist comments regarding the biracial family featured in a Cheerios ad last May, General Mills has made it a point to stand behind biracial families. This Sunday the cereal company will release its latest commercial featuring the same family from the previous ad: Gracie, the daughter, with her white mother and black father. In the commercial, Gracie's father describes their family by using Cheerios. He shows her that their family of three will soon become four. To this, Gracie replies, "And, a puppy." Camille Gibson, vice president of marketing for Big G cereals, said the advertisement showcases a cereal that brings families together. "Cheerios is about families and love and connections - and breakfast," Gibson said on the General Mills website. "Our new Cheerios ad celebrates one of those special moments with a family that America fell in love with." Although comments online were removed from the previous Cheerios commercial, comments for the cereal's latest advertisement have remained available. Many viewers expressed their appreciation for the company's stand. "Have to give it to the Cheerios people for being bold where others would have avoided controversy," Derek Womble wrote online. Edithson Abelard also commented, expressing his appreciation because the family in the commercial represents his own future. "Cheerios has my respect big time," Abelard wrote online. "When my wife and I have kids we'll be able to watch the commercial, and they'll see it's OK to love someone from a different race and be proud."%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D141193%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Obama's Unserious Sanctions
The U.S. and Europe help lift the Russian stock market.
President Obama and the European Union announced their sanctions response to Vladimir Putin's rolling conquest of Crimea on Monday, and the most accurate assessment came from financial markets. Moscow's stock exchange, which has been battered for two weeks in fear of Western sanctions, rose 3.7%. Congratulations, Mr. President. You gave the Kremlin a sanctions relief rally.
Mr. Obama had promised "consequences" if Mr. Putin followed through with the Crimean referendum, so we doubt even the Russian President thought the West's...

Jacob Sirof
Jacob Sirof was born and raised in San Francisco, California during the "Comedy Boom" of the 1980's. There were few places more booming than San Francisco, so nobody was too surprised when Jacob announced at an early age that he wanted to be a comedian when he grew up. Today, Jacob still hasn't grown up, although he is a comedian. As a young adult, he started doing stand-up in his hometown, and quickly joined the ranks of a promising young crop of local talent, which has since been dubbed "The New Wave" of San Francisco comedy. In 2006, Jacob was selected to perform at the prestigious "Just For Laughs" comedy festival in Montreal, Canada, where he got very drunk and high with comedians and industry-types from all over the world. His television appearances include "Live At Gotham" on Comedy Central and "Down and Dirty With Jim Norton" on HBO. He has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as the Hollywood Reporter, and performs across much of the known galaxy. Jacob currently resides in Santa Monica, California with his wife, fellow comic Sherry Sirof, and their daughter, Wynter Moon. He would like to do comedy for ever and ever, yet he is a mere mortal, and will most likely die someday.

Rangers hit Twitter for #TakeTanner
Ross, Holland join Scheppers' wife in tight Final Vote campaign
ARLINGTON -- Immediately after Tanner Scheppers was named a candidate for the American League Final Vote on Saturday, the Rangers lobbied on Twitter for their setup reliever.
Their campaign is working, but Scheppers needs a push in the tight AL race, where he currently sits fifth after Monday's voting update. More than 16 million Final Votes have been cast, and remarkably, less than 600,000 votes separate the entire AL field, from Toronto reliever Steve Delabar in first to Scheppers.
Robbie Ross tweeted out his support for Scheppers right before Saturday's game from his @Ross_108 account, "Hey everyone who follows me get on MLB and Vote Tanner Scheppers on to the Allstar game!!!"
Hey everyone who follows me get on MLB and Vote Tanner Scheppers on to the Allstar game!!!- robbie ross (@Ross_108) July 6, 2013
Pitchers Derek Holland and Yu Darvish also used the social media platform to get fans to vote Scheppers into his first All-Star Game.
Darvish, whose @faridyu account has over 900,000 followers, thanks in part to a large Japanese fan base, showed his support for Scheppers and countryman Koji Uehara, a former teammate with the Rangers who is on the ballot with the Red Sox.
http://t.co/p3hZNEMCBr #TannerScheppers #KojiUehara #Rangers #Redsox- ???????(Yu Darvish) (@faridyu) July 7, 2013
Holland's @Dutch_Oven45 was more partisan, rallying his near 120,000 followers with: "Ranger nation we need ya. Lets give some love and vote in my buddy tanner Scheppers to the all-star game. Go rangers!!!"
Ranger nation we need ya. Lets give some love and vote in my buddy tanner Scheppers to the all-star game. Go rangers!!! #votescheppers!- Derek Holland (@Dutch_Oven45) July 7, 2013
"It just comes down to a popularity contest at this point," Scheppers said. "I'm happy to be on the ballot and hope it turns out well."
His wife, Jessica, might be his unofficial campaign manager, using the #TakeTanner hashtag in nearly every single one of her tweets since Saturday.
"She'll try," Scheppers said. "She doesn't have quite as many followers as Yu Darvish, but anything helps."
Anyone who is at the game today, make sure everyone in your section sends in their votes to #TakeTanner- Jessica Scheppers (@JSchepp77) July 7, 2013
The Rangers also announced details of a special sweepstakes to help get Scheppers into the All-Star Game. All fans that vote either with their mobile phones or online will be automatically registered for the sweepstakes each of the first 25 times they vote for Scheppers.
The Rangers All-Star sweepstakes prizes are:
• Two innings with Nolan Ryan -- Winner and a guest have the opportunity to sit with Nolan Ryan in his home-plate seats, during a mutually agreeable game, for two innings. Prize includes two tickets to the game.
• Boomstick ride-around -- Winner and one guest will have the opportunity to ride in the Boomstick around the warning track prior to a mutually agreeable game, plus two tickets to the game.
• Photo opportunity in Ron Washington's seat and batting practice -- Winner and one guest will receive game tickets and will have the opportunity to visit the Rangers dugout before the game and take a photo from Washington's bench. After the photo, they'll watch the visiting team take BP from the area behind home plate.
• Sit with the voice of Rangers Ballpark, Chuck Morgan, for an inning -- One winner will visit the in-park PA room, run the ribbon panels for half an inning and visit with Morgan for half an inning during a mutually agreeable game. Prize includes tickets for winner and three guests.
• Ozarka Race finish-line holder -- One winner get the chance to hold the finish line on the field during the Ozarka Texas Legends Race or Dot Race. The opportunity will include tickets for winner and one guest, and the winner's name will be announced and shown on the main video board.
Now in its 12th year, the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the final player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately following Saturday's Major League All-Star Selection Show presented by Taco Bell and ends Thursday at 4 p.m. ET. The winners will be announced on MLB.com shortly thereafter.
Mobile voting in the U.S. and Canada is open to everyone. In the U.S., to receive the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com mobile ballot, text the word "VOTE" to 89269. To vote for Scheppers, simply text message A4 to 89269. In Canada, fans should text A4 to 101010. Standard message and data rates may apply.
Scheppers is 5-1 with a 1.88 ERA entering Sunday's contest, tied for the ninth-lowest among AL relievers. All-Star closer Joe Nathan feels his numbers are good enough to receive the 34th and final spot on the All-Star team.
"Usually the guys that are setting up to get to this game put up some ridiculous numbers, and he's done that," Nathan said. "Hopefully that's enough and people notice what he's done as far as numbers to get him over the top. You look at all the guys on that list, everyone has done a pretty good job. Everyone is deserving of going, but for a guy to step up in his second year and do what he's doing is pretty impressive."
Scheppers would be the first Rangers setup reliever since Jeff Zimmerman in 1999 to become an All-Star. The only other one was Jim Kern, who was Texas' primary setup reliever in front of Sparky Lyle in 1979, even though he eventually led the team in saves that year.

Joel Osteen Deletes 'Rub One Out' Tweet
Joel Osteen, a mega church pastor and best-selling author, has a pretty large Twitter fan base: 2,155,787 people follow him. But these faithful followers got a hilarious tweet yesterday, according to Twitchy.com, a Twitter curation site founded by conservative blogger Michelle Makin.
"A true friend walks in when everybody else walks out. A true friend doesn't rub it in when you make a mistake. They rub it out," Osteen tweeted.
Sure, this tweet can be read as words of wisdom, but to many, it probably sounds more like a sexual innuendo. And, in typical Twitter fashion, Osteen's tweet was retweeted, favorite and replied to countless times.
"Dude, wanna rethink that one?" one user wrote to Osteen. "oops joel osteen deleted the tweet my 'hehe rub it out' tweet was referring to," another said.
"clearly have the wrong friends," another Twitter user wrote. "Yes...yes that right Joel - gotta love those friends that help you rub one out," a user tweeted.
Unfortunately, Osteen has deleted the tweet and hasn't said anything about it.
Earlier this month the popular televangelist told the Huffington Post that God is accepting of gays. HuffPo's Josh Zepps quoted a line from Osteen's new book, which reads, "It doesn't matter who likes you or who doesn't like you, all that matters is God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you." Zepps then asked Osteen if that includes members of the LGBT community.
"I believe that God has breathed his life into every single person. We're all on a journey. Nobody's perfect," Osteen said. "I'm not here preaching hate, pushing people down, or telling people what they are doing wrong."

Ordinarily, sports demos match up the participants of the championship game from the preceding year. This time EA Sports is putting its Madden NFL 11 pairing up to a vote, raising the possibility of an intriguing outcome.
That could be Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre appearing in the game demo but not in its full release. Favre of course hasn't committed to returning to the team next year and may finally hang up his cleats - for the third time. But Favre is still under contract to the Vikings, which means he still appears on their roster for this series until such time as he finalizes his retirement, which he could do before Madden 11's release in August.
Favre's Vikings are in one of three matchups fans may vote on through the Madden home page. A rematch of the Minnesota-New Orleans NFC Championship game is currently polling second. A pairing of the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts, the AFC Championship participants, is in first place as of now. A rematch of the Saints and Colts, which the Saints won in February's Super Bowl, is third.
EA Sports will announce the winning matchup on April 22, the day before the NFL Draft.
