"And the prosecution is only recommending six years for Thomas who went to the building and provided access to the store for Dumas? Something is very, very wrong here."

....based on how the story reads, it sounds like Thomas testified against Dumas in return for a lesser sentence. It's perfect, but it's better than nothing.

This board is hilarious. The staff at the Vindicator who maintain this site must have their list of favorite stories to post:
1. Any crime that happens.
2. Anything about city, township or county budgets.
and, new hotness for 2012:
3. fracking.
...just post something resembling a story, and sit back and watch the fun!

"USNBOY and others who are concerned about this issue and would like their questions answered must come to the Youngstown City Council meeting tomorrow at 5:30-6:30PM, 6th floor City Hall (26 S.Phelps St.). There will be a local geologist there to speak on these issues and other citizens are encouraged to speak out as well."

I would be stunned if any of the people ranting on this board, either pro or con, would actually move away from their keyboards to actually show up.

Whether we like it or not, the Utica shale represents the most significant area of jobs creation in the valley for the next ten years. It may be a few thousand jobs, or many thousands of jobs, but it's growth that would otherwise not exist.
Should safety be paramount? Absolutely.
But panic and political rhetoric will serve no one. If this particular injection well is causing the problem, then other solutions can be found. There may be other places farther away from natural fault lines that can be used. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.

The comments on this story are more entertaining that the story itself. Gotta love anonymous internet message boards...........

I think too many people in this area are thinking that the Tressel era of the 1990's is somehow doable again over a decade later. College football is very different now, even at the 1-AA level and the days of one team dominating year afer year are over. Of course we all want YSU to start winning right away, but it's not going to happen that quickly. This team has been in every single game with the exception of the "money" games at the beginning of the year. I think they are on the cusp of being a playoff team, but fans are going to have to be more patient than they're used to being.

"Hidden fire" refers to a fire source that was not the result of an open flame. So it's unlikely that the fire was the result of arson.

Yes, it was Valpo, but the result was better than expected. Hopefully this is the beginnings of an aggressive instinct:
Play an inferior opponent, and put them away. So far, so good. Now we'll see how they handle a tough conference game at home.

People have been predicting the end of the world since the beginnings of civilization. The internet is a great source of historical information. Any search engine will show that throughout history, thousands of fear based apocalyptic cults have been doing just what this guy has been doing. Most cults are centered around a delusional person who also happens to be able to convince gullible people of their particular point of view. Although in our era I think the cults are much more cynical: Now they're just out to con people out of their money.

Use whatever works. The time is long gone for one particular energy technology to supply everything. If wind works in this area......use it. Same for solar, bio, nuclear, or any other new technology. Some will work here, some won't.
But we should be using them if they're economically feasable.
Unless of course we want to keep maintaining our addiction to middle east oil..............
