Hydraulic Fracturing, more commonly known as “fracking” has become quite the topic of debate in Morgan County over the past few months. Fracking, a drilling method used to extract natural gas from Marcellus shale found all over West Virginia can provide a big boost to the economy; but some people believe the negative effects fracking will have on the ecosystem outweigh the positive effects on the economy.
Many local citizens have voiced their disapproval with fracking lately along with people all over the United States. Natural gas companies drill wells deep into the earth’s surface creating fractures in the rock or coal formations. The fractures allow gas to flow more freely from the pores of the rock. After the drilling, water, proppants (usually sand), and chemicals are pumped into the fractures to expand them. After the gas is extracted the water has no use and is disposed of, with which most of the controversy lies.
Chemicals such as Hydrochloric Acid, diesel fuel, and Methanol are reportedly injected in or around water sources. Many complaints of tainted drinking water, chemical spills, and even explosions have been reported. Most companies deny many if not all of these allegations.

Differences between HTML and Flash sites are huge, 75% of people don’t know they have the wrong type of site for their needs. Many companies look for functionality or aesthetics when developing a website. Is there anything else missing that a company could want in a site?

Depending on the type of website you develop you could be facing many daunting problems with search engine related content. Depending on your choice of Flash or HTML you could be facing many unexpected issues after shelling out thousands of dollars for design. Flash technology depends on embedding tags, keywords, and text within images while HTML is dependant on coding. Since the development of the Internet, Hyper Text Markup Language or HTML4 has been the first widely used and most popular method of site development and early search engine technology and programming. Although HTML was not the first language used for development, the first methods like File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Gopher Protocol were less functional to advancements thus less attractive to the creative types. Many other methods of design and language followed like Active Server Page (ASP), JavaScript, Ajax, and more.
One reason the masses followed HTML more than other languages was the creation of search engine programming and how they indexed websites to be found. In 1993, there were a few hundred websites around and most were universities, long before they were created there was Archie. Archie was the first search engine created by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal in 1990. It was originally named “Archives,” but was then shortened to “Archie”. This was developed with the concepts in mind of Gerard Salton and his teams at Harvard and Cornell initial indexing research in the 60’s into the 90’s......
