		+	<html>Associated Press
		+
		+	Josh Fox galvanized the U.S. anti-fracking movement with his incendiary 2010 documentary Gasland. Now he s back with a sequel ― and this time, he s targeting an audience of just one.
		+
		+	We want the president to watch the movie,[http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140751362926 12 Rules regarding Successful Weight Loss], and we want him to meet with the people who are in it, says Fox, whose Gasland Part II makes its HBO debut Monday.
		+
		+	He contends President Barack Obama s professed support of drilling and fracking for natural gas ignores the environmental and public health toll of the drilling boom: It looks like he s really sincere and earnest in , but he s got the completely wrong information and thus the completely wrong plan.
		+
		+	Shale gas:?
		+
		+	A typically bold statement from Fox, who s emerged as one of the nation s most visible and outspoken foes of the natural gas drilling industry.
		+
		+	Having made his name as an avant-garde theater director in New York City, Fox took an interest in drilling after a gas company approached him in 2008 about leasing his family s wooded 20-acre spread in Milanville, Pa.,[http://www17.big.or.jp/~hatsu/ahiru_net/bbs/honey.cgi?%255D Ways to Get Significant Quantity of Website traffi], near the Delaware River. What resulted was Gasland, a polemic that argued energy companies are turning whole communities into toxic industrial wastelands.
		+
		+	Part II covers a lot of the same ground as the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated original, as Fox takes his banjo and camera on the road again to interview residents who say their air and water were contaminated by drilling. Beleaguered homeowners demonstrate how they can light their methane-laced tap water on fire ― same as in Gasland ― though the pyrotechnics in Part II are more spectacular.
		+
		+	What s new here is the focus on what Fox sees as the drilling industry s corrupting influence on politicians and regulators. In Gasland Part II, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is cast in the role of protector and defender. The agency starts to hold the industry to account for contaminating heavily drilled neighborhoods in Dimock, Pa.; Parker County, Texas; and Pavillion,[http://www.liceonuzzi.it/wiki/index.php?title=Utente:KevinLee290 Cis actuallybilo billa hardthey wouldthey would. e .deborahg], Wyo. Then the drillers get to work,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Penguins-71-Malkin-Camo-Jerseys-22158/ Penguins 71 Malkin Camo Jerseys], buying off politicians who, in turn, force the EPA to back off. Meanwhile, Obama s 2012 State of the Union address sets the tone for an election-year policy shift that replaces science with political expediency.
		+
		+	Sky is pink :?
		+
		+	Fox portrays an industry that is shadowy and malevolent, the power behind the throne of government.
		+
		+	I felt like I could see it: a horizontal well bore, drilled down into the earth, snaking underneath the Congress,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/MLB-Caps-008-11212/ MLB Caps-008], shooting money up through the chamber at such high pressure that it blew the top off of our democracy, he narrates. Another layer of contamination due to fracking, not the water, not the air, but our government.
		+
		+	Of course, the industry doesn t see it that way. about fracking, the technique that s allowed drilling companies to extract huge volumes of natural gas from rock formations deep underground.
		+
		+	The real reason that shale development has expanded is not because of some nefarious plot on the part of industry leaders wearing black robes, writes Steve Everley of Energy In Depth, an industry-funded PR group. Rather, it s because people across the United States have recognized that there are massive environmental and economic benefits to be reaped. Both political parties are pushing for increased responsible natural gas production, and it s because of the facts, not because they ve been captured by Corporate America.
		+
		+	Attitudes and positions about fracking have only hardened since the original Gasland. Anti-drilling activists and Big Gas tend to view the other with profound distrust, and there is little common ground.
		+
		+	But the reality is more complicated than either side would probably care to admit.
		+
		+	Pro-gas:?
		+
		+	Landowners have become overnight millionaires, businesses catering to the gas industry have boomed and cheap gas has lowered utility bills. Some climate scientists say the rapid conversion of coal-fired power plants to natural gas has helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is a side of the shale gas revolution that Gasland Part II ignores.
		+
		+	Yet it s also true that drilling has contaminated residential water wells and brought incredible truck traffic to rural roads never designed to handle it. Some residents have complained about underhanded industry leasing tactics; others assert that gas drilling has made them sick.
		+
		+	The industry s typical response? Gloss over problems or deny them outright.
		+
		+	Driving home the point, Part II plays audio from an industry conference in Texas at which a drilling company official encourages the use of military-style psychological operations, or PSYOPS, to counteract anti-fracking fervor. At the same conference, another company s PR rep urges his colleagues to read the military s counterinsurgency field manual because we are dealing with an insurgency ― namely, anti-drilling residents and environmentalists.
		+
		+	Fox said the industry has smeared homeowners who dared to speak up about their ruined water or ill health, employing tactics used by the tobacco industry decades ago to mislead the public about the dangers of smoking.
		+
		+	Celebrity cause:?
		+
		+	It s no wonder environmental activists and industry can t bridge the divide, he said.
		+
		+	I don t see a middle ground. What we re talking about here is a force of people who are trying desperately to change the world, and a fossil fuel industry that is trying desperately to keep ruling it. I don t know what a middle ground would be, Fox said.
		+
		+	Beyond Gasland Part II, the filmmaker is working on a short documentary about what he calls an epidemic of illness among gas industry workers. Longer term, he said, he intends to move on to broader issues of climate and sustainability.
		+
		+	And then there s that meeting with the president.
		+
		+	I m hoping for a call one of these days, Fox said.</html>

== 1,700 waiting to testify on abortion bill — hearing ex ==

<html>| | A Senate panel that recently started a marathon hearing on a package of controversial abortion restrictions will refrain from voting on the measure until the full House moves a bill, the committee chairman said Monday.

At the onset of a hearing on Senate Bill 1, committee chairman Sen. Jane Nelson said she plans to hear testimony from everyone currently in line — there’s a swarm of folks in orange and blue shirts — and from anybody who signed up to testify by 11 a.m.

“At some point we have to say no more oral testimony,” said Nelson,[http://bbs.7366.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=11114738 Options for Professional SEO and PPC Services in India Today], R-Flower Mound, noting that some 379 folks had already filled out witness cards and an estimated 1,700 were waiting in line.

That’s going to set up the Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee for a long day and evening that could spill into the early morning. Based on the number of folks in line, Nelson estimated the panel was facing at least 13 hours of testimony.

In comparison, a before the committee chairman cut off testimony and voted to approve its version of the anti-abortion bill. That measure, House Bill 1, is set to be debated by the full House on Tuesday.

Outside of the hearing room, hundreds packed into a number of overflow rooms and lined up in the hallways of the Capitol to testify.

Standing in line to register, Kate Jaceldo, a social worker from San Antonio, said she opposes SB 1 because women and their doctors should be making decision about abortion, rather than legislators.? Along with banning abortion at 20 weeks,[http://www2.toua-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/bbs/vbbbs.cgi?res=12170 Small Business Web pages and Search engine optimiz], critics of the proposal say it would effectively shutter the majority of the state s abortion clinics in the state.

I was a teen mom and I know how hard it is to face a pregnancy when you re not prepared for it,” she said. “I had a ton of support but I know a lot of women don t. For that reason, I think women need to make decision based on what s happening in their lives.

Valerie Harkins, a social worker from Houston, said she took off work and drove three hours to Austin to support SB 1 because she believes all parts of the proposal would increase women s healthcare.

I m not really here about a women s right to choose, I m here about women s healthcare,” she said. “If she chooses to have that abortion, it needs to be in a medical facility that is to standard, regulated as other medical facilities.

The Capitol halls,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/2012-13-Barcelona-16-Sergio-Home-Jerseys-25793/ 2012-13 Barcelona 16 Sergio Home Jerseys], however, were not nearly as crowded and stuffy as last week when a House committee heard an identical bill (it was so hot and steamy that a woman actually fainted while standing in line to get into that hearing).

It’s still early — and plenty more folks are expected to show for a 7 p.m. pro-abortion rally set to be headlined by Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor turned Fox News talking head.

Back in the committee room, the first full hour of the hearing was spent allowing senators to speak out on the bill. The props came out early, too.

Sen. Bob Deuell, a physician and staunch supporter of the anti-abortion package, plopped up two pair of baby sneakers — one blue, one pink — onto the dais. He said he planned to keep them there for the duration of the hearing.

“As this hearing develops and we address these bills, there’s some other people that haven’t been allowed to speak and that’s the children that would fill these shoes,” he said.

Sen. Carlos Uresti, a San Antonio Democrat who voted in 2011 for a sonogram-abortion law, offered an amendment to the bill to provide an exception for women in remote areas of the state and for those who are victims of rape or incest. He opposes this bill because it would shutter all abortion clinics West of San Antonio.

The bill’s author,[http://www.vl-nuernberg.de/vl-wiki/index.php/Benutzer:Master233#Measuring_the_Metal_Markets_0 Measuring the Metal Markets 0], Sen. Glenn Hegar, shot down the amendment. But Uresti pushed on.

“When we don’t’ have an exception for 12-year-old little girls who have been raped by their step dad or whoever … with this bill we’re telling those women,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/NFL-New-York-Jets-Just-Do-ItRed-T-Shirt-26709/ NFL New York Jets Just Do ItRed T-Shirt], they have to carry that baby,” said Uresti. “That’s the concern I have.
