Pipeline, plant signal progression of shale development
Zonda Haase's family has lived on 75 acres of field and woods in Springfield for more than 100 years.
A winding lane that's tricky to navigate in snow and slush leads from Felger Road to the two-story house that her grandfather completed by hand in 1900 after felling lumber from his property.
In front of the house, two lines of parallel stakes with strips now flutter in the breeze and mark where 2,300 feet of pipeline will transport natural gas.
The oil-and-gas industry has arrived in eastern Mahoning County, for better or worse, depending on who's talking.
But nearly everyone agrees life won't be the same.
The pipeline on Haase's property is part of the Hickory Bend Pipeline System, 50 miles of 20- to 24-inch wet-gas gathering lines that are being installed in Northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
Hilcorp and NiSource created a partnership called Pennant Midstream LLC to construct the pipeline and a cryogenic gas-processing plant, representing an estimated $300 million investment. Cryogenic plants lower the temperature of natural gas to about negative 120 degrees Fahrenheit to separate lighter hydrocarbons, such as ethane.
Although the company has not publicly said where either the pipeline or cryogenic plant will go, officials and residents say they expect it to travel from a horizontal drilling well in Poland Township southwest past Metz Road to about 100 acres near the intersection of Middletown and State Line Road, the proposed location for the cryogenic plant.
A NiSource spokeswoman said she could only confirm the cryogenic plant would be in Mahoning County.
The well off Cowden Road, part of the Carbon Limestone Landfill operated by Republic Services in Poland Township, is already under construction with a rig visible from U.S. Route 224 and the township park. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources issued a horizontal drilling permit to Hilcorp Energy Corp. in November for the site.
Springfield Township Trustee Robert Orr, who met with NiSource representatives and Mahoning County engineers last week, said the pipeline is expected to tie into existing transmission lines in Springfield, which consist of four Tennessee Gas and two Dominion East Ohio lines.
Orr said the plant will have two entrances on State Line Road and that the company will have a road-use maintenance agreement that outlines a prescribed route for heavy trucks, keeping them predominately on state roads. He added that agreements between Mahoning County and the company to maintain roads also are planned.
With the development, "the area could really grow. We're hoping Springfield helps the Valley in the road to recovery," Orr said.
A long history
Inside a thick scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings, family portraits and wedding announcements are black-and-white photographs of oil drillers on the Haase farmland.
Zonda Haase, 66, pulls out several more photos taken in 1910 by her grandfather, Charles Holzworth, who lived on the farm with his wife, Minnie (Beede) Holzworth, and extended family.
"There were 11 oil wells on the property," Haase said. "He had to have sold the oil but unfortunately we don't have a lot of information about that."
The family made its living off the land, growing corn, wheat and oats, and raising cows and chickens to sell eggs, milk and butter.
"They farmed to keep the buildings and pay the taxes," Haase said.
It wasn't glamorous, but it was sustainable. The family had a large vegetable garden, butchered its own meat and canned preserves.
Haase's mother Bessie Louise Holzworth sold milk and butter — the wooden butter molds with the Holzworth seal are proudly displayed in the house — and kept the family financial books. She eventually went to Youngstown College, becoming a professional bookkeeper, and married Kurt Haase in the 1940s. Haase and her brother Kim grew up on the farm.
Haase's grandfather stopped farming the fields in the early 1950s and died soon after. Since then, the fields have been rented to local farmers. The large family house was rented as apartments from the 1950s to 1970s until Haase, a licensed professional counselor, returned in 1976 after living in Youngstown for a time following her college graduation.
The property's mineral rights were first leased to a company in the 1970s, Haase said.
"Companies would come around and that was it. The most recent company to have our lease is Chesapeake Energy. ... We knew that there was oil and gas here because of history and it was only a matter of time when American companies would start getting actively involved in the drilling," she said.
Haase and her brother jointly own the land and agreed to the mineral rights lease and a separate pipeline agreement with Pennant.
Haase, a Springfield school board member, spoke highly of Pennant, saying the company has been very clear with her. The pipeline will be at least four feet deep, per regulations required for farmland to allow for tilling. The company waited until after the harvest to mark the property and digging should start very soon, she said.
"I believe what we have under our ground belongs to the American people, and our responsibly is to see the American people are cared for with these resources," she said.
Haase, like many in the area, has well water. She has never had a problem with her water and said she doesn't anticipate one, despite warnings from environmental groups.
The land will be farmed this year as usual, with fields of corn and soybeans.
"We're looking forward to a bountiful year for not only our community families, but for America. I feel honored that we can be a part of this. It's not just about the money, this is what America should be: sharing our resources," she said.
A changing landscape
Tina Jurich woke up last week at her home, not far the Haase property, and admired the pink sky and glistening snow.
"Why do people live out here? They want quiet and space," she said.
Jurich, who lives on State Line Road, is convinced that will change as oil-and-natural gas industry moves in, trucking activity increases and drilling, a 24/7 activity, gets underway. The memory of last month's massive explosion of a NiSource/Columbia natural gas pipeline in West Virginia is still fresh in her mind.
Orr said he is concerned about that, too. When he shared that with company representatives, he was told the lines will have remote shutoff to turn off the gas at any point.
"We already have gas lines here and we've never had any problems, knock on wood," Orr said. "... We're getting some good assurances. NiSource is a Fortune 500 company; it's not a fly-by-night outfit."
But Jurich also worries about health effects.
"My concern is, if it's so safe, why carve out exemptions?" she said.
Injection wells used to dispose of fracking fluid, for example, were exempt from the federal Safe Drinking Water Act in 2005, which is most commonly referred to as the "Halliburton Loophole."
Under the federal Clean Air Act, fracking wells are partly protected against air contamination claims, but a claim cannot cite multiple wells as a single source of contamination. Each claim must be linked to a particular well.
Jurich is one of many Valley activists who support a community bill of rights to increase protection for air, water and health, and is helping circulate a petition to an put an issue on the May ballot to ban fracking in Youngstown.
Although vertical Clinton formation wells from decades ago can be seen in Valley neighborhoods, it's relatively recent that horizontal drilling began its move toward the suburbs. Current horizontal drilling technology makes it impossible for a well site to be placed in many residential neighborhoods because of a lack of space, experts have said.
But having a fracking well within a mile of her home is close enough to make Andrea Moore nervous. Moore moved to 2.5 acres on Arrel Road in Poland Township two years ago from busy North Lima Road.
"It's about the only place that's still somewhat rural in Poland," she said.
Moore fears groundwater contamination, air pollution and other potential hazards that have been associated horizontal drilling.
"I'm worried a lot about health risks with my two small children. I'm worried about water contamination. I started buying bottled water to drink, then starting washing vegetables with it, cooking with it and even boiling it. It's getting ridiculous," she said.
Her answer to landmen who want her to lease mineral rights or survey or conduct seismic testing has been consistent: no. Still, she's seen markers on her property that she hasn't put up and believes they are from companies ignoring her wishes.
Under Ohio law, a producing company can apply for a mandatory pooling order for a hold-out landowner to meet state spacing regulations. If approved, mandatory pooling includes that property in the unit and that landowner receives a proportionate share of the landowner royalty as though the landowner had leased — but there is no lease agreement between the two, according to ODNR.
"I talk about moving, but I don't know how. We have 28 years left on our mortgage and I don't even know if it will sell," Moore said. "...Then there's a question of where do you go? It's devastating and I have a feeling of helplessness."
Poland Township Administrator Jim Scharville said it is difficult if a resident is the only hold-out on signing a lease. Moore said she is the only one on her street not to have signed.
"There wouldn't be one well if no one signed a lease, but once you get one neighbor to sign, everyone signs. It has to be entire community to say no," Scharville said.
Orr said the development will have a ripple effect and he already has heard from at least one local paving business getting work because of it.
"For me personally, I'm optimistic but I'm cautious. We can only make the calls to make sure things are happening the way [companies] said. We're kind of open to anything because Springfield for decades has had no zoning. It has no regulatory authority [for drilling]. Everyone's doing their own thing out here and we just encourage people to be good neighbors," Orr said.
Scharville said like any industry, the shale development brings good and bad, and can force people to make hard choices.
"Everyone wants jobs and prosperity, and no one wants to pay $5 a gallon (for gas), but everyone wants something for free. There are no free lunches in America," said Scharville.
Poland Trustees Mark Naples, Robert J. Lidle Jr. and Eric Ungaro are beginning to hear from residents as shale activity picks up in earnest.
"I'd like some local control given back," Naples said. "We can take you to court with our zoning [rules] but we can't do anything about this."
ODNR can permit exploration and injection wells without local consent, and the wells are regulated by the state.
"We are a bedroom community and I don't want to lose that," Naples said.
The well on landfill property is probably a better location for drilling than most in Poland, trustees agreed, because it is in a remote area and will be accessed using primarily private roads already built to handle heavy trucking. The Mahoning County District Board of Health also already has a well-water testing program in place for residences up to one mile from the 770-acre Carbon Limestone Landfill.
Lidle said many people have invested in high-value homes in Poland and it's unclear what, if any, effect the oil-and-gas activity will have on property valuations.
"People moved out of the city of Youngstown to come to Poland and Canfield because the [steel] mills weren't there. There wasn't the soot. Now, [industry] is coming right to their backyards," Lidle said.
His fellow trustee, Ungaro, agreed that change is fast-approaching.
"We'll never be the same," Ungaro said.

I know what you're thinking. It was said that Donald is just a general stereotype for all the crappy players the members of Dark Legacy have had the misfortune of knowing. I'm sure that everyone knows a 'Donald'.
But the other day we actually ran with the physical (er, pixelated) embodiment of Donald. For his privacy sake, I'm not going to give out his name. I will simply refer to him as Donald.
My current main is a level 65 draenei mage. (I shelved my 2 shaman) I was partied with my best friend, guildmate, and fellow leader who plays a shadow priest. Also level 65 (From this point on I'm going to refer to him as priesty). We were blowing up eels outside of Shattrath the other day when he had the brilliant idea to do a mana tombs run. I agreed. After all, instances should be free and easy exp, and we had the quests there to boot.
We join LFG. Our server is terribad in general. LFG is a nightmare. But sadly, everyone in guild was busy with a PVP premade. So into the shark filled waters we went. I went AFK because normally it takes anywhere from an hour to five to get a tank for an instance group. I came back five minutes later and we suddenly had a full group. Priesty was cackling because I thought it would take so long.
We run to achindoun and I off handedly notice that all the other members are already in the mana tombs. Not really a good sign because I'd like to have a shot at all the mobs. (You can't finish one of the quests without the beginning trash) Not to mention none of them ran out to summon us, but that's a personal pet peeve.
The group consisted of:
Me (Mage)
Priesty (Durdy durr)
Balance druid
Level 68 rogue
With a level 68 in the group, I thought, this should be cake, no? OH HOW I WAS WRONG.
We arrive and the rogue says, "Can you heal, the druid is balance." to my friend the priest. He shrugs and warns that he isn't spec'd for it, but he'll do it.
My suspicions are confirmed. All the trash up the first boss has been cleared. Oh well. We're already there and committed. But now I have a new suspicion. Why, oh why, had the original 2 members left the group right at the boss? Perhaps time constraints? Oh, if only I had heeded the many warnings.
Priesty whispers me, "Dear God, look at Donald's talents."
How bad could they possibly be?
Well. I didn't get past the first tab because he was spec'd 2/3 into improved rend.
Priesty whispers me again, "By Terokk's feathers, he's spec'd 48 points into the prot tree but doesn't have last stand." (There was more swearing in there, but I'll spare you.)
I sigh, but ignore it. After all, it's his game, he can spec how he likes. Plus, skill normally makes up for talent builds. I learned this while healing raids as elemental back in the day.
We get through Pandemonius relatively unscathed.
Up to the next trash pull. The rogue starts marking targets. All of them. "Sheep star, kill skull, sapping circle." etc. Whatever, some people need the help. She goes up and saps.
And I sheep. And wait for Donald to pull the other mobs off me.
And wait. And wait...
Finally he keyboard turns and runs over. Now, having never actually SEEN a tank keyboard turn before, I was laughing at this point. It just looked hilarious, despite the fact that I died. So did Priesty. And finally, so did the druid and rogue. Our first wipe on trash. Not a good sign.
Priesty whispers me, "Let's run. The tank is terribad. Just say your cat is on fire."
I reply that no, we should stay. It was probably just a slip up or an accident. *sigh* I am too nice.
We get to the trash again. Sap. This time I wait for HIM to pull. After the sap is already practically gone, he shoots and YES! Awesome. Sheep. Let's do this.
He's tanking and I wait for a sunder. And wait. And wait. Okay I guess he doesn't want to sunder. Fireball! BAMF! AGGRO! ARRIGHT! Here comes the mob!
Donald stands there looking confused for a good 10 seconds before keyboard turning and running over. By then we had already killed the monster. He pops the sheep with a rend as the sap breaks. No problem, sheep the sap target. Oh okay, it's been moonfired already. The druid is tanking it. Our combined firepower takes it out, then we focus on Donald's. We manage to not wipe this time.
Flash forward a few wipes until we get to the trash surrounded by mana eels. The ones that both mana drain and explode.
"AoE them" says Donald. Yeah how about no. We let him happily tank his one target as we got rid of the others.
The rogue starts marking our next targets (you'd think we were in BT or something) and Donald runs up to grab the void terror. And here come more mana eels. And a fear. And adds. And a wipe. As we run back Donald says in party, "So someone pulled the eels, eh?"
Yeah it was totally 'someone' else and not you. Mhm.
We get back in and priesty is screaming at me to get me to leave. I say no, no, Donald is probably like 13 and just needs some help. Give it another chance.
We buff up aaand. He goes AFK for maybe 10 minutes with no warning. Whatever. We do the next few mobs solo. He comes back just in time for a 2 pull.
"lol sorry had to get a drink" he says. Oh okay, as long as it was something important.
The rogue marks the sap target but this time forgets to mark the skull. But it's a 2 pull. The logical conclusion is that if one is sapped, the other is the one that needs to be killed.
Mmk. Sap, the druid pulls with a starfire aaand...Donald breaks the sap. The non-CCed mob is running through the casters and now, so is the sapped target as Donald frantically keyboard turns and runs everywhere. We wipe again.
Donald: "U DIDNT MARK SKULL I DIDNT NO WAT TO KILL"
How could I do anything but laugh? Priesty and I are on vent laughing our asses off. We get back in and continue trying. Eventually we get to the final boss and since the rogue didn't really know how to go after more than one target, we just couldn't do it. Priesty and I dropped after the second failure.
The next day we queue in LFG for a second time. Guess who is immediately sorted into our group? Mmyep. We ran with a resto shaman, shadow priesty, me, and another balance druid. It was easier because we just kind of let Donald run where-ever while Priesty and the shaman kept us alive. He needed every single piece of loot that dropped. One was a fist weapon, the other was a sword, and the final piece was the DE shard that we got from the last boss. We wiped once on a four pull because Donald broke the and it ran around through the casters. His excuse was, "SORRY guyz i didnt see it". I wonder if he plays in first person?
I never want to see mana tombs again in my life.
You may be thinking to yourself, "But isn't she the dumb one for staying in a bad group?"
Well yes, yes I am. I am a glutton for punishment. After all, I played a resto shaman back in the days when the only raiding scene was MC and none of the talent changes had gone live.
But I will say this. Nothing is quite as hilarious as the gentle swaying of a keyboard turning tank.

Law enforcement in Montana must now get a warrant before using information like cell phone location data to track individuals.
According to an article by the ACLU, Montana is the first state in the country to pass legislation requiring law enforcement to get a warrant before they track an individual's whereabouts or activities via their use of personal technology.
"Perhaps Montanans, known for their love of freedom and privacy, intuitively understand how sensitive location information can be and how much where you go can reveal about who you are," ACLU advocacy and policy strategist Allie Bohm writes.
A bill by state Rep. Daniel Zolnikov mandates that a probable cause warrant must be granted before any tracking activity is performed using cell phone location information, social networking activity or GPS tracking. The ACLU notes that some states do have legislation dealing only with GPS tracking.
While some public safety agencies throughout the country already obtain warrants prior to cell phone tracking, Montana is the first state to pass statewide legislation to that effect. In other states, including Maine and Texas, similar measures have made progress in the legislature, but have not yet passed.
As the ACLU article notes, Texas made history earlier this month by ensuring the privacy of email communications, regardless of how old it is.

Metamorphoses Notes & Analysis
The free Metamorphoses notes include comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. These free notes consist of about 82 pages (24,309 words) and contain the following sections:
These free notes also contain Quotes and Themes & Topics on Metamorphoses by Ovid.
Metamorphoses Plot Summary
Metamorphoses is a collection of ancient stories of mythology written in poem form. Each of the stories that Ovid presents contains some sort of transformation, or metamorphosis, and that is the link that ties them all together. Ovid uses sources like Virgil's Aeneid, as well as the work of Lucretius, Homer, and other early Greek works to gather his material. Although some of the stories he presents are true to these sources, Ovid also adds his own to twist to many of them and changes details where it better suits his purpose.
The theme throughout the stories is the power of the gods, but towards the end, the poem seems to emphasize the greatness of Rome and its rulers. Many of the metamorphoses that take place throughout Ovid's work are changes wrought by the gods as punishment for something that a mortal has done. There are a few times, however, when a transformation takes place in order to save a mortal from death. Although there is considerable evidence to support the superiority of the gods in the poem, Ovid does include some moments that rattle that theory.
Ovid ties the stories together using characters as links from one transformation myth to the next. These characters, their interactions with each other and the gods, are the primary focus of Metamorphoses. Some of the more prevalent themes that recur throughout the poem are rape, revenge, and violence. A few of Ovid's stories echo others in the collection, but they all have some unique aspect that qualifies it for the poem.
Since this poem was written in 17 or 18 B.C., it has become one of the most important surviving Roman works. Its translation to English has made these myths a cornerstone of literature.

Viviane R. Gaffney sits back and watches her seven children eat at the dinner table. She has a look of motherly pride on her face, not because all her children and many of their spouses have dedicated their lives to helping others, but simply because her family is so close.
The matriarch and her late husband, William G. Gaffney, had simple rules — work hard, have pride in your work and earn your own way. They didn't care what profession the children chose, as long as they followed the family mantra.
"I'm just so lucky," Viviane R. Gaffney, 83, said. "We never told them they had to do this or that; we just wanted them to do the best they could."
The siblings don't talk much about work at the dinner table. Sometimes one of them is called in to the job, and considering that most of them work as firefighters, police officers or nurses, those calls aren't unusual.
But aside from a few quick quips, family gatherings are about family and nothing else.
"My father worked for the federal government; he never missed a day of work in 35 years," said Worcester Police Lt. Thomas Gaffney, a 54-year-old investigator in the Detective Bureau. "They really instilled in us a work ethic, not police or fire, but a work ethic. You go to church every Sunday, family first and you work hard in life. That's what it was all about."
The oldest sibling in the family, Michael Gaffney, 56, will always throw in his one-liner.
"He says he is the only one that has to work," said Joseph Gaffney, a 52-year-old Worcester Fire lieutenant, referring to Michael.
To give a quick rundown of the family's jobs:
◼Michael is a plumber and is married to Ann, a nurse.
◼Thomas is a police lieutenant who is married to Kathleen, a nurse.
◼ Patricia Webster, 53, is a nurse who is married to Richard, a U.S. Postal Service worker.
◼Joseph is a fire lieutenant and married to Pauline, a nurse.
◼Viviane M. Dumas, 50, works for the city's Elder Services and is married to Francis, a fire lieutenant.
◼Paul, 49, is a police sergeant and married to Sheila, who works for Leicester police.
◼Stephen, 46, is a fire lieutenant and married to Chrissy.
All of the women working as nurses graduated from the Worcester City Hospital School of Nursing.
Thomas has two sons: Terrence Gaffney is an officer in the Gang Unit and Patrick is an officer at UMass Memorial Medical Center and working to become a Worcester police officer.
The list of public servants doesn't even include other family members — nieces, nephews and other spouses — working as nurses or attending college for nursing degrees.
Sit-down Sunday dinners are a tradition in the family. Sometimes Viviane Gaffney would wonder how many of her children and their families would show up for dinner as she peeled 10 to 15 pounds of potatoes. Since police departments, fire departments and hospitals don't shut down for the holidays, there is always a question of who will show up at holiday gatherings.
Like any mother, Viviane worries about her children, but tries not to think about the fires, accidents, criminals and injured that her children see.
"I try not to think about it. I think if I ever did I would never sleep," she said. "I just say 'God's hands' and pray for them every night."
The public safety siblings will see each other at scenes of incidents. Joseph points out that sometimes he will transport a patient, only to have one of his sisters or sisters-in-law tend to the person at the hospital.
The children know when to shut off work talk and that is pretty much at any family gathering. They rely on one another and often work on each other's homes.
"We're the brawn. They're the brains," Joseph said, pointing over to the women in the family.
"The nurses, they work harder than any of us," Thomas quickly chimed in. "They are the backbone of the family."
As humble as the family is about their professions, they clearly understand and embrace the family history.
When Terrence first became a police officer, it was around the same time his Uncle Paul was promoted to sergeant. Terrence was given Paul's patrolman's badge number.
Thomas' uncle was a police officer in the city and he carried his uncle's nightstick on patrol when he first started.
Joseph has some of his grandfather's gear from when he worked as a firefighter at the Webster Square station.
But as they talked about some of the history of public service within the family, the siblings looked around at one another and said working hard is the most important thing passed on from generation to generation.
"Our dad was always so proud that we were hard workers. He didn't care what we did; you work hard, and you are honest and take care of each other," Joseph said.

Tech to Turn You Locavore
"Think global, act local" is one of the most frequently heard buzz phrases of the environmental movement, but it can be a difficult, time-consuming directive to follow. While the more local something is, the better, it's also less likely that someone has taken the trouble to present it in a useful way.
That's part of why the locavore movement faces a bit of a challenge technologically. Those looking to consume foods that have been grown within 100 miles of where they live have to contend with a low crop of reliable or consistent information on where to find produce, dairy, and meat. News sites, blogs, and guides perennially appear and disappear, and undoubtedly many lose interest in adhering to the locavore lifestyle along the way.
But die-hard proponents cite health and environmental benefits and the back-to-the-land ethos is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly indoor world. The 2012 Locavore Index compiled by agriculture advocate Strolling of the Heifers shows how states stack up. For national inspiration, First Lady Michelle Obama has just released American Grown about her efforts to plant a fruit and vegetable garden in the South Lawn and how its harvest is put to use in the White House kitchen.
With the sprouting of farmers markets everywhere, it might be the time to give locavorism a try. And PCMag's here to help, with a roundup of the latest tech resources that will help you eat local.

Columbus-Muscogee, the first consolidated city-county in Georgia, began development in 1826, building on ceded Creek Indian territory. Muscogee is the name of a branch of the Creek Nation. Columbus, of course, is named for Christopher Columbus.
Early during the Civil War the Haiman Sword Factory employed 400 people from the area to make swords, sabres and Colt Navy Pistols for the Confederacy. Later, as Union forces attacked entrenched Confederate riflemen and artillery, soldiers fought the last land battle of the war at Columbus.

Today Tomorrow (Thursday) sometime around 11am Pacific Standard Time, this server will go offline to be moved to its final home inside a colocation data center in California.
The IP address will change, so give Anthony and team a couple of hours to move the server and reconfigure. Steve will change the domain climateaudit.org to the new address, but this takes hours to propagate around the Internet and you may need to reboot or otherwise clear your DNS cache in order to get to the server again.
Thanks for your patience.
Update: Climate Audit may go down sooner because we're currently eating into Anthony's bandwidth, so if the blog does disappear it won't be for any more nefarious reasons than that. Anthony's business comes first.

For more than a decade, Nike has invited college administrators to see their factories that they contract with and see how the company does business in Asia.
This past month, Ole Miss' Ross Bjork was among the group of five athletics directors and three representatives that toured Nike overseas facilities in Vietnam and China. Bjork was joined on the 10-day tour by Tom Bowen (Memphis), Scott Leykam (Portland), Dr. Hans Mueh (Air Force) and Rob Mullens (Oregon).
"For Nike, it's an education to make sure everyone is comfortable with the process and how we do business in Asia," Bjork said. "You have these big contracts with a university to outfit their teams and their product. It's a great thing for Nike to do this to make sure that we know how they conduct themselves and that we feel comfortable with them."
Bjork flew out of Memphis on Jan. 15 to Chicago and then to Tokyo and finally to Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in Vietnam and the first stop of the tour, where the group took day trips to nearby villages and toured two Nike-contracted factories.
From Ho Chi Minh City, the group traveled to three cities in China, starting with Guangzhou, which Bjork described as a city of factories, before wrapping up the trip with stops in Shanghai and Beijing and then flying home on Jan. 25.
"Nike is very conscientious about factory and working conditions and making sure they're partnering with the right companies who operate these factories," Bjork said. "They are conscientious about labor and workers' rights. I knew that before the trip, but until you actually see it and walk on a factory line, you can't really understand it."
It was not just a clearer, first-hand understanding of Nike and their work in Asia, Bjork said, but also an appreciation for the people of Vietnam and China.
"I learned perspective and appreciation for the freedom we have in the United States but also great respect for what those people have to go through to live in China and Vietnam and go about their business under the same values and principles that we have, but in a much more controlled environment," Bjork said.
Bjork was also impressed with how Nike and their contracted factories have similar business fundamentals, in terms of vision statement, purpose and core values. The difference is how they present them, which Bjork said they might emulate and try to bring to Ole Miss.
"The one thing that I was impressed with was the visual presentation that they do in these factories around their core values and mission," Bjork said. "When you walk in the front door of the factory buildings, they had vision statement, purpose and core values on the wall. We talk about those things here, but they visualize it.
"If you walk in our building, we don't have our perspective up. That's one thing that I want to look at here is to maybe visualize in our buildings what we stand for and how we operate. I was very impressed with that. Whether it was China or Vietnam, the factories all had their purpose and vision in full display."
Moving forward, Ole Miss has a full apparel contract with Nike, a seven-year deal that started on July 1, 2012, which Bjork noted was negotiated and in place before he was named athletics director on March 21, 2012.
From his observations and conversations on the tour with Nike and factory staff, Bjork said he is pleased with Ole Miss' relationship with the company, as well as their relationship with Kit Morris, Nike's Director of College Sports Marketing and an Ole Miss graduate.
"I see our Nike relationship evolving and growing because we have great relationships with Kit, his staff and his team," Bjork said. "Our equipment staff has a great relationship with the people at Nike.
"I see the relationship evolving and growing over the life of the contract, but also as you look to the future and what happens after 2019. Nike is a great partner, and we'll see what happens as we get closer to that point."

Caltrans and Rail Partners Launch New Campaign for Rail Safety Month
Locomotive artwork promotes vigilance to reduce fatalities near rail crossings and tracks
SACRAMENTO – Caltrans and its partners today announced that hundreds of Caltrans employees have joined together with individuals affected by rail crossing incidents to decorate two locomotives in honor of California's Rail Safety Month. The graphics-wrapped locomotives highlight the importance of safety and vigilance near railroad tracks and honor the memory of individuals affected by rail crossing incidents.
"Rail crossing fatalities and injuries can be prevented and Rail Safety Month reminds us to remain vigilant and stay safe at railroad crossings," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "We decorated these locomotives to honor those affected, raise awareness, and increase public safety."
The two wrapped locomotives inscribed with the safety message, "Be Track Smart – Tragedies Touch All Of Us," used more than 200 Caltrans employees' hand prints to create a multi-colored wrap representing those who have been touched by rail crossing incidents. One of the prints belongs to Caltrans Maintenance Supervisor Frank Ornelaz II, whose father was killed by a train.
Caltrans partnered on the campaign with Amtrak, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, Operation Lifesaver, Union Pacific Railroad, Burlington and Northern Santa Fe Railway, to showcase locomotives with the safety message along the San Joaquin, Capitol Corridor and Pacific Surfliner routes over the next several months, to remind motorists and pedestrians to be vigilant when approaching all railroad crossings and tracks.
California is working hard to reduce railroad crossing fatalities, a goal all passenger and freight railroad agencies share. According to Federal Railroad Administration statistics, nearly 300 Californians lost their lives to rail incidents between January 2008 and May 2011. A bill authored by state Senator Carol Liu from Glendale (District 21) created Rail Safety Month in 2009.

One of the must-know features of any language is sockets, and, no, I'm not talking about the ones positioned on your ceiling. While many novice scripters will run away at the sound of the word, sockets in Python are not hard to learn and work with at all. In this article, I will explain the basics and even apply sockets in a real-world situation.
Please note that this article assumes that you have a basic command of the Python language. If not, you can either read the official tutorial or buy a book – or both. If you're looking for a good book, you should head over to O'Reilly & Associates.
With that stated, let's get started.
The Anatomy of a Socket
Let's start off simple: what is a socket? The easiest way to learn is to compare computer sockets to lead pipes. Let's say you have some sort of machine that has two pipes. One pipe pumps in water and the other pipe pumps out water. This will be your server. Now, imagine you have a simple box that has one pipe going through it. Let's say that you hook it up to your pump machine. It will receive the water from the machine and then give water back. This will be your client. If you wanted to, you could hook up more machines and pipes to this to form a network of clients and servers.
Sockets are useful. The Web browser that you are viewing this page with is connecting to the server that this page is in by way of a socket. If you were to connect to one of your favorite online games or chat networks, you would be using sockets as well. As you can see, sockets are both both powerful and widely-used.
{mospagebreak title=The Basics}
Using sockets in Python is quite easy. Open up your Python command line, and let's get to some code.
The first thing we must do is import the socket library:
>>> import socket
The socket library contains all the tools we need to work with sockets. The next thing we need to do is create a socket. This is simple. Execute the following code:
>>> mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM )
This creates a stream socket. You can also work with datagrams by replacing SOCK_STREAM with SOCK_DGRAM. A socket stream is where there is a constant connection between the client and server that stays alive until it is closed, and both the client and the server know if the connection is still alive. With datagrams, however, that is not the case. The connection is not kept alive, and your data might not even be received. Although datagrams can sound like a bad idea at first, they have their purposes. It might be easier and faster to use datagrams in certain situations.
Writing a Simple Server
Let's write a simple server. If you'll remember, a server is anything that receives connections from other computers, clients. Create a new Python file named server.py and insert the following code into it:
import socket
mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM )
mySocket.bind ( ( ", 2727 ) )
mySocket.listen ( 1 )
while True:
channel, details = mySocket.accept()
print 'We have opened a connection with', details
print channel.recv ( 100 )
channel.send ( 'Green-eyed monster.' )
That's quite a mouthful, so let's split it up into something we can understand. The first two lines should already look familiar. We create a new socket to use. In the third line, we open port 2727 for connections.
To understand what a port is, let's go back to our analogy. Picture the pump machine with thousands of pipes leading in and out of it. Each pipe would be a port, and clients would have the option of connecting to different ports. However, each port would be different – some might pump out green water, and others might pump out orange water.
The next line tells our socket to wait, or listen, for clients. Following that, there is an infinite loop. In this loop, we accept client connections, print out the client's address, print out the client's message and finally send a message back, closing the connection when we're done.
{mospagebreak title=Connecting to the Server}
Let's connect to our server program. Open up the Python command line again and create a socket:
>>> import socket
>>> mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM )
Next, open your server program. We will now connect to the server:
>>> mySocket.connect ( ( 'localhost', 2727 ) )
This should look very familiar to the bind method, with the exception of the first argument, which tells our socket where to connect to. We now need to send our server a message:
>>> mySocket.send ( 'William Shakespeare' )
You should now see the message in the server window. Let's accept the server's reply:
>>> mySocket.recv ( 100 )
Finally, let's clean up by closing the socket:
>>> mySocket.close()
That wasn't so hard, was it? Of course not. As I said, sockets are extremely easy to learn and use in your scripts.
I explained datagrams a little bit in a previous section, but I will now show you how to work with datagrams. Let's take our server and rewrite it using datagrams:
import socket
mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM )
mySocket.bind ( ( ", 2727 ) )
while True:
data, client = mySocket.recvfrom ( 100 )
print 'We have received a datagram from', client
print data
mySocket.sendto ( 'Green-eyed datagram.', client )
While our datagram server is very similar to our stream server, it also has obvious differences. Notice how we never use the listen method, and note how we use recvfrom and sendto rather than accept, recv and send.
Let's connect to our server through the command line:
>>> import socket
>>> mySocket = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM )
>>> mySocket.sendto ( 'Wherefore art thou?', ( 'localhost', 2727 ) )
>>> data, server = mySocket.recvfrom ( 100 )
>>> print data
As with the server, it is both similar to and different from the other client's code.
{mospagebreak title=Sockets…Simplified}
While the socket library is good for many things, there are several libraries built on the socket library that make development easier and faster. Say you wanted to connect to the official Python site to retrieve a piece of information. You could accomplish this task with the socket library, but there's no use working at such a low level when other libraries could do this in a shorter amount of lines. There are libraries for HTTP, FTP, Gopher, telnet and more.
A Real-World Problem and a Pythonic Solution
Let's say that you need to convert United States Dollars into Euros. This may seem complex at first, but it really isn't. It can be accomplished with sockets. We'll use the urllib library to connect to 'http://xe.com' and convert ten dollars into Euros.
Open up the Python command line and import the urllib module:
>>> import urllib
Connecting to the currency converter website I mentioned is simple with the urllib library — a lot simpler than it would have been if I had used the socket library alone. It can be accomplished with the following line of code:
>>> currency = urllib.urlopen ( 'http://xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=10&From=USD&To=EUR' )
>>> data = currency.read()
If you attempt to print out the data variable, you will get a good bit of junk that is not necessary in our script. However, here are the key lines:

10.00 USD
United States Dollars
=

7.46213 EUR
Euro
( Note that the values above are outdated. )
We can use regular expressions to sort through all the junk and take out the figures we need from the above code:
>>> import re
>>> euros = re.search ( '(d*).(d*) EUR', data )
>>> print '10 United States Dollars are equal to…' >>> print euros.group ( 1 ) + '.' + euros.group ( 2 ), 'Euros.'
We also need to clean up and close the connection like we did earlier:
>>> currency.close()
That's it, we've solved our problem in only a few lines! If we were to do it with the socket library, however, it would have required a number of more lines to accomplish the same result.
{mospagebreak title=Summary}
You have learned that sockets are a valuable tool in the Python scripting language. They enable you to communicate with other computers, clients and servers, and to exchange data. Sockets are used to accomplish many common computer-related tasks, such as browsing Web pages. Though many novices assume that sockets are difficult, the opposite is true. Python also includes a number of libraries built on top of the socket library that allow you to easily write networking applications.
You now have the knowledge and tools to construct scripts that use sockets. Where you choose to go from here is entirely up to you. However, you may wish to browse through the standard library to find modules to aid development using sockets. Some modules that may help you include the select, asyncore, asynchat, ftplib ( FTP ), poplib ( mail ), imaplib ( mail ), smtplib ( mail ), telnetlib ( telnet ), nnttplib ( news ), SocketServer ( server ), BaseHTTPServer ( HTTP server ), SimpleHTTPServer ( HTTP server ) and CGIHTTPServer ( HTTP server ) modules.

LAS VEGAS — Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George suffered a gruesome right leg injury late in the U.S. national team's intrasquad scrimmage Friday night.
George leaped to contest a fast-break layup by James Harden with 9:33 left in the fourth quarter and his leg smashed against the bottom of the backboard stanchion.
Trainers immediately ran onto the floor and after roughly 10 minutes of stoppage, George was taken out of the arena on a stretcher. With players looking visibly upset, coach Mike Krzyzewski then announced to the crowd that the scrimmage would not be finished out of respect to George and his family.
"There's no way the game could have gone on under the circumstances," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said.
The White team led George's Blue team 81-71.
George was considered a lock to make the final 12-man roster for the World Cup of Basketball that starts later this month in Spain.
The Americans planned to reduce the 20-play pool to 14 or 15 players Saturday, but put off those plans after George's injury.
"Everything's on hold right and it should be," Krzyzewski said. "It would be so inappropriate for us to talk about anything else when there's a serious injury like this."
The defending champion U.S. team had already been weakened by player losses. Forwards Kevin Love, Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge and NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard had all pulled out in recent weeks.
George would have been a candidate to start for the Americans alongside Kevin Durant. Krzyzewski and Colangelo refused to discuss the roster after the game, saying they didn't even know when they would make roster reductions.
The Americans have to be down to 12 players before they open the tournament on Aug. 30.
The U.S. is scheduled to take the next week off before reconvening in Chicago for its next practice on Aug. 14.

Reactions to Dzhokhar: Hatred, anger...empathy?
Photos show him dropping a bomb near the Boston Marathon finish line. He allegedly killed a police officer in cold blood. But while his older brother fit the stereotype of the dangerous extremist -- distant, cruel, driven by ideology -- 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had friends. Went to prom. Was considered "a nice guy."
The dissonance has sent some people deep into fringe territory. There's a #FreeJahar movement on Twitter and a Facebook group claiming his innocence. But some others, devastated by the bombings, have nonetheless confessed to mixed emotions this week: to wondering how Tsarnaev felt, what he thought, as he cowered in a boat in a Watertown backyard.
Expressing those ideas can be a clumsy thing, as singer Amanda Palmer now admits about her "poem for dzhokhar," a rambling, widely-slammed free verse about boats, iPhones, and Vietnamese spring rolls. Some recoil at the idea of equating him with a victim. But is empathy different from sympathy? Does it make us hopelessly naive, or simply human?
What went through your mind this week? Tell us in the comments, or tweet at the hashtag #BostonEmpathy and @BostonComment.
Imagining his story is part of the tragedy, too
Students who have spoken in the media and to each other are unable to accept the simplistic notion of Tsarnaev as the symbol of evil. They have struggled with the complexities of who this person was: "He wasn't one of them; he was one of us"; "He's only 19; he must be so scared"...As we all struggle to come to terms with losses of life and innocence in the carnage of the past week, Rindge kids remind us that even this alleged perpetrator's journey is part of the tragedy.
Betsy McAlister Groves, mother of Rindge and Latin students
Letter to the Globe
Reconciling terror suspect with friend
The Dzhokhar I knew was a young man who spent all night looking in his car for a new phone I clumsily lost. He left work early just to help me retrace my steps...He was a captain on the Cambridge Ringe and Latin wrestling team, he was in the National Honor Society, he earned a scholarship to a four-year university. It seemed no one ever had a problem with Dzhokhar....But it seems the young man I knew is gone.
Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Globe co-op
Attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin with Dzhokhar
Getting fed up with the excuses
Let's be serious: Dzhokhar is not a victim like his victims. The language used in these articles makes him sound like a well-meaning addict or someone who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's neither. Dzhokhar is charged with planting bombs that maimed and killed scores of people. If it was his brother's idea, Dzhokhar carried it out along with him.
Joel Breuklander
The Atlantic
Wanting to believe he was brainwashed
I formed a story about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Friday. I convinced myself it was all his brother's doing and influence. That he followed along and didn't really understand what he was doing....When I told a male friend over lunch earlier this week that I felt a little motherly worry for the young man, he said, "I think to place a bomb like that, around kids, blow people up and then go back to your dorm room and back to school for two days… that's just crazy." I felt a chill. He's right. How can I be worried about someone like that?

may you find a way to feel empathy towards everyone.
yes, everyone.
the moment you choose to be empathetic only towards your family, only towards your friends, only towards your immediate neighbors, only the people who look like you, or think like you…
that is the moment you fail to see that we are all connected, that we are all capable of feeling pain and all – every one of us – capable of empathy.
for anyone.
Amanda Palmer, singer/songwriter
Or feeling no conflict at all
I can't believe any sympathy for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; look at the folks w/ legs blown off; then re-evaluate your sympathy for this Terrorist.— Vincenzo Scipioni (@UnseeingEyes) April 23, 2013

How to Use
Historical Context
Map Key:
This is a detailed portion of a larger map of the area surrounding Valley Forge. It was drawn by William Parker in 1777 and is referred to as a "spy map." It is believed that Parker was spying on George Washington's forces for the British. This detail depicts the area around the King of Prussia Inn, which at the time was also known as Berry's after the proprietor, James Berry.
The horizontal road on which the inn sits is now known as Route 202. The road dates as far back as the 1680s as evident by its notation on a map of that time demonstrating the Penn family's landholdings.
1. Inns and taverns are represented by triangles on the map. List three other taverns shown on the map.
2. Compare and contrast the locations of Barry's and the other inns you identified. What is similar about the inns' locations, and why might they be built there?
3. Closely examine the map and its key. List three places, objects, groups or landforms shown on the map besides taverns. Why might the British army be interested in this information?
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Map 1, but be aware that the file may take as much as 45 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Clinical trials
Through the ages, doctors have used different methods to test potential new cures. In the 1030s the Persian scholar Ibn Sina put forward rules for testing the medical effects of substances in his Canon of Medicine. However, a fundamental problem is that testing a drug on one person does not tell you very much. If you give a new drug to one patient, and he suffers side effects, maybe he is allergic to it - but other people might benefit from it.
It only became possible to carry out large-scale investigations with many patients when hospitals became places of medical research. Today drug companies developing new cures have to carry out different kinds of tests at various stages. Usually a substance is tested on animals before it is tested on humans in clinical trials. In these tests, some patients are given the new drug and others are given something else, either an older cure or a placebo. A placebo (Latin 'I will please') is a substance which has no known medical effect. With this measure, scientists can take into account the phenomenon that the patient's expectations may lead to improved health even if the administered substance is a sugar pill or something similar (the so-called 'placebo effect'). Today clinical trials are usually 'double blind'. This means that the new drug and the placebo are randomly assigned to patients, and neither the patients nor the scientists know who had received the drug or the placebo until after the trial. Following the principle of 'informed consent', experimental subjects at a clinical trial now have to be informed in advance that they may be getting a placebo.
Recently, AIDS activists and other patient activist groups have prompted researchers to dispense with the placebo group. This is to ensure that all patients receive treatment with a new drug which may turn out to be their last hope for a cure.

Sry to revive old post but came across this,
When someone is injured as a pedestrian, they become a claimant on the at fault party's claim. Given that the person who hit you was identified, you will be claiming under their Bodily Injury section which is part of their Third Party Liability coverage.
Your first source of coverage is your own AB section on your policy. If you don't have that or you go past your limit of coverage you claim under the BI of the other party.
That is how it works in "No Fault" (DCA provinces, ON, QC & NB).
In "Tort" provinces (all others & most of the states) you get a lawyer and sue the shit out of the other party !
Just putting this out there in case somone does need to tap into this insurance.

dormitive principle
Jump to navigation Jump to search
A modern translation of Latin, virtus dormitiva, coined by Molière in The Imaginary Invalid. In the play, he lampoons a group of physicians providing an explanation in macaronic Latin of the sleep-inducing properties of opium as stemming from its "virtus dormitiva".
dormitive principle (plural dormitive principles)
- (idiomatic, rhetoric, logic, linguistics) A type of tautology in which an item is being explained in terms of the item itself, only put in different (usually more abstract) words.
- 1988, Doreen Kronick, New Approaches to Learning Disabilities: Cognitive, Metacognitive, and Holistic:
- We note Bateson's (1968) dormitive principle at work in which behaviors are described as traits such as LD, which then are used to explain the behavior.
- 2002, Bradford Keeney, Aesthetics of Change, The Guilford Press, →ISBN, page 33
- If we examine traditional explanations of behavior through the lens of recursion, we will sometimes find what Bateson called "dormitive principles," a form of circular description. A "dormitive principle" is a more abstract repackaging of a description of the item you claim to be explaining. To paraphrase Bateson, this occurs when the cause of a simple action, as for example, when aggression is explained as being caused by an "aggressive instinct" or psychotic symptomatology is attributed to "madness."
- 2003, Ian Glynn, An Anatomy of Thought: The Origin and Machinery of the Mind:
- And to any intelligent reader, explanation of an 'inherent ability' was reminiscent of Molière's mock explanation of the soporific effects of opium - that it contained a 'dormitive principle'.

The alleged prostitution activity involved a 16-year-old girl
The alleged prostitution activity involved a 16-year-old girl
The alleged prostitution activity involved a 16-year-old girl
Three people were arrested in connection with the sex trafficking of a 16-year-old girl, thanks to an Uber driver near Sacramento, police said.
The Uber driver called Elk Grove police about 7:45 p.m. Monday about possible prostitution activity at a hotel in the 9100 block of West Stockton Boulevard after driving a 16-year-old girl and two women to the hotel, investigators said.
When officers arrived, they detained Destiny Pettway, 25, and Maria Westley, 31, both from Sacramento, outside the hotel, police said.
Disney Vang, 20, was found in the hotel room with the victim, who had been reported as a missing person, and he was involved with unlawful sexual activity with her, according to the police department.
Detectives said they determined that Pettway and Westley had arranged for the victim to meet Vang at the hotel.
The three were arrested and face a variety of charges, including felony child abuse, pimping and pandering, soliciting an act of prostitution, oral copulation with a person under 18, rape, human trafficking and conspiracy, police said.
The victim was taken to an alternative housing location.
No additional details were initially released.

Everybody's got to be somewhere, but Michael Jordan's whereabouts were of much interest this week and weekend than yours or, at least, mine. With the Ryder Cup golf championship being layed at Medinah Country Club in the Chicago suburbs – and with Jordan serving as an advisor to Team USA at Carolina pal Davis Love III's request – the Bulls' Hall of Famer was a target for celebrity snooping.
There were several sightings of His Airness, not only on the course but at some of the finer eateries in the city and 'burbs.
A brief rundown of His Whereness, thanks to the Chicago Tribune's plucky sports nightlife/gossip coverage:
Team USA — including Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and Fred Couples — had dinner Monday and Thursday at Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse in Lombard. Michael Jordan, who was named Team USA advisor, joined the guys Thursday at Harry Caray's and signed autographs and posed for photos with patrons.
Team Europe – including Jose Maria Olazabal, Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia — dined Tuesday at Harry Caray's in Lombard. Team USA opted for Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse in Oak Brook that night. Woods and co. arrived on a bus and entered through the back.
