>> the pipeline will traverse the largest water aquifer in the world; one that American farmers and people are heavily dependent on for drinking and irrigation. And no harm would come to that aquifer, whatsoever. James Goecke . . . [a] hydrogeologist and professor emeritus at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, he has been measuring water tables in Nebraska’s ecologically sensitive Sand Hills region since 1970 and has shunned the political limelight — until now. He recently appeared in an ad for the pipeline’s owner, TransCanada, rebutting some of the arguments against the project and its new route. All this offends Goecke, who even Stansbury calls “the number one expert” on the aquifer. Goecke says that many people have the wrong impression about the danger a pipeline leak would pose to the Ogallala. It’s not like dropping oil into a lake, he says; remember, the aquifer is more like a sponge. He said people “were concerned that any spill would contaminate and ruin the water in the entire aquifer, and that’s just practically impossible.” To do that, the oil would essentially have to run uphill, he said. “The gradient of the groundwater is from west to east; 75 percent to 80 percent of the aquifer is west of the pipeline, and any contamination can’t move up gradient or up slope,” he said. “Secondly,” Goecke added, “any leakage would be very localized. .?.?. A spill wouldn’t be nice, but it would certainly be restricted to within a half-mile of the pipeline.” He predicted that the varied layers of fine-grained seams of silt and clay would contain the flow of oil. >> And the reason for building the pipeline......to get oil faster to market is ridiculous. It isn't ridiculous, but it is one of many reasons. Most notably, transport by pipeline is the most environmentally friendly method. But it is also the least expensive and fastest. There is no cogent argument that can be made against it, which is the reason neither you nor Chauncey have been able to articulate such a reason.

Howard Dean: Don’t Call Paris Terrorists ‘Muslim’ .................................................................................................................................................................... breitbart.com by Jeffrey Poor7 Jan 2015 420 On Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” former Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT) downplayed any ties of gunmen that killed 12 at the offices of a French satirical magazines in Paris have to the religion of Islam. According to Dean, we should stop attributing the “Muslim” label to them because they fall in line with a cult that is able to overcome France’s strict gun laws to carry out such an attack. “You know, this is a chronic problem,” Dean said. “I stopped calling these people Muslim terrorists. They’re about as Muslim as I am. I mean, they have no respect for whatever anybody else’s life. That’s not what the Koran says. You know, Europe has an enormous radical problem. I think ISIS is a cult, not an Islamist cult. I think it’s a cult. I think you got to deal with these people.” “You know, the interesting thing here is we talked about guns the last time regarding the United States, regarding how guns get in the hands of the kind of people that kill the two police officers here two weeks ago — France has tremendous gun control laws, yet, these people are able to get Kalashnikovs,” he continued. “So, this is really complicated stuff. I think you have to treat these people basically as mass murders. But I do not think we should accord them any particular religious respects because I think whatever they are claiming, motivation clearly is a twisted cultage mind.”

The French government has upped security at train stations, places of worship, newspaper offices and public spaces this afternoon after 12 people, including police officers and journalists, were shot dead earlier today. Soldiers wearing green berets, dressed in combat fatigues, and carrying Famas assault rifles have been pictured in front of the Eiffel Tower and inside Montparnasse railway station. +8 Lockdown: The streets of Paris are being patrolled by soldiers dressed in combat fatigues and carrying Famas assault rifles this afternoon after a terror attack killed 12 people earlier in the day +8 Armed: Three gunmen who attacked the offices of controversial magazine Charlie Hebdo this morning remain on the run this afternoon, causing authorities to heighten security +8 Secure: Troops have been deployed to places of worship, public spaces and train stations (pictured, Montparnasse station in Paris) following on from the attack earlier today French authorities have now raised the threat alert to the highest level possible, while the British Foreign Office has issued a warning to those travelling to the city. Three gunmen are believed to have forced their way into the offices of magazine Charlie Hebdo this morning and asked for senior staff by name in fluent French before executing them. +8 On guard: The French government has raised the threat alert to the highest level possible while the British Foreign Office has issued a warning to those travelling to the city +8 Vanished: Nothing has been seen of the three gunmen who attacked the Hebdo offices since this morning when they were seen fleeing towards the east of the city in a stolen car +8 Tense: French soldiers patrol at Montparnasse railway station in Paris this afternoon after 12 people, including police officers, were killed in an terror attack The editor and head cartoonist Stephane Charbonnier, who is believed to be among the dead, was also put on Al Qaeda's most wanted list last year after spending months under police protection. Officers were also detailed to guard the offices, according to Charbonnier's lawyer, and today French police were confirmed to be among the dead. Video footage from the scene of the killing shows two of the attackers climbing out of a black Citroen before cutting an officer down with five precise shots. They advance to where the man is laying using military-style techniques, covering each other as they run, before executing him with a single round to the head. Also among the dead are some of France's most revered cartoonists including Georges Wolinski, Bernard 'Tignous' Verlhac, Jean Cabut and Bernard Maris. President Francois Hollande described the bloodbath as a 'barbaric attack against France and against journalists' and vowed to hunt down those responsible. Stepahne Charbonnier, also known as Charb, the editor of Charlie Hebdo, wsa among those killed after the gunmen got into their building then called the senior staff by name before killing them The attack took place during the publication's weekly editorial meeting, meaning all the journalists would have been present. Corrine Ray, a young mother and cartoonist who survived the massacre, today told how she was forced to allow the killers into the office. She described hiding under a desk during the shooting, saying the editors were called out by name before being executed. She added that the militants spoke perfect French and said they were from Al Qaeda. Read more: dailymail.co.uk

Obama: “The future must not belong to those who would slander the prophet of Islam” Remember those words? Barack Obama uttered them in September of 2012 while he was apologizing for the video that his administration claimed was the cause of the Benghazi attacks. Flopping Aces ^ \| 01-07-15 \| DrJohn

You may not have noticed but the U.S. is producing a LOT of oil now. How do you think that oil is being transported? There are already pipelines all over that aquifer and most of them are not nearly as well built or secure as Keystone will be. The oil not transported by pipeline is transported by truck or train. Oil transported by train has made big BAD news in Canada in the last couple years. I'd rather have a solid secure pipeline going through my town than a train. I believe global warming is happening and the BEST scenario would be that we didn't need to use fossil fuels at all but that's NOT going to happen any time soon.
