This Article summarizes and discusses important cases, legislation, and regulations issued or enacted pertaining to the oil and gas jurisprudence of West Virginia between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2011. The Authors acknowledge that the term "important" is subjec- tive; nevertheless, they endeavor to discuss the most germane cases and regulations affecting the oil and gas industry. This Article is divided into two parts. Part One discusses a very important regulation promulgated by the Office of Oil and Gas, a division of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, regarding water use by the oil and gas industry when drilling horizontal wells. Noticeably absent from this Part is any discussion of major legislation affecting the oil and gas industry. During the requisite period, no significant legislation was enacted, which the Authors subjectively deemed worthy of discussion. Nevertheless, the legislature introduced numerous bills, which if enacted, would have substantially impacted the oil and gas industry. Part Two of this Article discusses developments in West Virginia's case law regarding oil and gas. In this Part, the Authors will discuss and analyze major decisions issued by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ("Supreme Court of Appeals"), one important case litigated in the Circuit Court of Monongalia County, West Virginia, and the United States District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled, in United States u. Texus Tech University, 171 F.3d 279 (5th Cir. 1999), that the Eleventh Amendment bars a private citizen from bringing a qui tam action in federal court against a state, absent federal intervention.Intervenor Carol Foulds was a dermatology resident at the Texas Tech Health Services Center. While a resident, Foulds examined patients, made diagnoses, and prescribed treatments for patients. Foulds alleged that she and other residents performed these medical services without the supervision of staff physicians. Foulds further alleged that, after residents performed these services without physician oversight, staff physicians signed charts and Medicare and Medicaid billing forms certifying that they personally performed or supervised the administration of these services. Foulds estimates approximately 500,000 false claims occurred in a span of ten years.In 1995, Foulds filed a qui tam action with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. As regulated by the False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(2) (West 1998), the complaint remained under seal.

<p>The historic city of Murshidabad-the earstwhile nawabi capital –a city founded in the year 1704 by Murshid Quli Khan, the Mughal diwan of Bengal. In 1704 Murshid Quli Khan transferred the capital of Bengal from Dhaka to Murshidabad and named the city after his name .The town is situated on the left bank of river Bhagirathi. It is the northern most district of the Presidency Division of West Bengal and lies between 23 o 43’ and 24 o 52’ north latitude and 87 0 49’ and 88 0 44’ east longitude .<strong> </strong>Under the Nawabs Murshidabad’s glory reached to the highest peak in almost all arenas. As a trading centre Murshidabad became famous. Many scholars came here and settled and they mixed with the local people freely and there developed a cosmopolitan culture. According o Sushil Chaudhury ‘‘It was a golden day of Murshidabad under the Nawabs’’.<strong> </strong>By the middle of the 18<sup>th</sup> century Murshidabad became one of the greatest centre of culture and education as the nawabs were the patrons of learned persons. But after the battle of Plassey the scenario of Murshidabad started changing .With the establishment of the British power we see gradual decline of its culture and education. Many of the British policies directly affected Murshidabad such as the shifting of court to Calcutta, introduction of permanent settlement, introduction of western education and declaration of English as the official language instead of Persian. Murshidabad is the only district of West Bengal where Muslims outnumbered the Hindus since 1901 and formed the majority community. Presently this district is a backward district of West Bengal .When we enquire the causes of this backwardness we find education as one of the major causes. The present paper is a modest attempt to analyse the educational progress in Murshidabad under the Nawabs and also under the British. The paper will also enquire the causes of educational backwardness of this district.</p>

"Broad-scale geographic and temporal assessment of northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) maternity colony-landscape association." Endangered Species Research 47 (February 24, 2022): 119–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.3354/esr01170.
Full textAbstract:
As the federally threatened northern long-eared bat Myotis septentrionalis continues to decline due to white-nose syndrome (WNS) impacts, the application of effective conservation measures is needed but often hindered by the lack of ecological data. To date, recommended management practices have been adopted in part from other federally listed sympatric species such as the endangered Indiana bat M. sodalis. During the maternity season, these measures have largely focused on conservation of known day-roost habitat, often with little consideration for foraging habitat, particularly riparian areas. We examined acoustic activity of northern long-eared bats relative to day-roost and capture data at coastal and interior sites in the District of Columbia, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, USA, over the course of 6 summers (2015-�2020), where maternity activity was still documented after the initial arrival and spread of WNS. Acoustic activity of northern long-eared bats relative to forest cover decreased at the acoustic site level (fine scale) but increased at the sampling region level (coarse scale). We observed a positive association of northern long-eared bat acoustic activity with riparian areas. Additionally, we observed higher levels of activity during pregnancy through early lactation period of the reproductive cycle prior to juvenile volancy. Our findings suggest the need for more explicit inclusion of forested riparian habitats in northern long-eared bat conservation planning. Acoustic sampling in spring and early summer rather than mid- to late summer and in forested riparian areas is the most effective strategy for identifying potential active northern long-eared bat maternity colonies on the local landscape.

Full textAbstract:
The London of Challoner consisted only of some seven square miles, one square mile of which was, of course, the City of London. It can all be put onto some eight pages of the present A–Z map of London, which at the time of writing consists of 141 pages. John Rocques's map of London, on a scale of 200 feet to the inch, which he began in 1738 and finished in 1747, in its London Topographical Society format of 1982, perfectly illustrates the London of both Challoner and Defoe. The western extremities were at Marylebone, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, the eastern at Stepney, Limehouse and Deptford, the northern at Tottenham Court and Bethnal Green, while the southern limits were at Kennington and Walworth Common. The population of London was assessed by Wrigley in 1990 as c. 575,000 in 1700, as c. 675,000 in 1750 and as c. 959,000 in 1801. The 1767 papist returns indicated that most London Catholics lived in the parishes of St James and St Giles, within Westminster. Schwarz has pointed out the considerable social segregation in London, middle-class areas being in the west and central parts, with the poorer areas in the south and east. The St Giles area around Seven Dials going east to Bow Street and Drury Lane is reputed to have contained a third of the capital's beggars and to have been a notoriously criminal quarter. The Catholic numbers in Westminster were 7,724, the City numbers 1,492, with the Middlesex out-parishes having more than 2,000. The 1767 total for London, including the parishes to the south and east, comes to 12,320, clearly too low, as is the accumulated total for the London District of around 15,800. This gives about 3,500 for the London District outside the capital while Challoner's own figures give us a Catholic population of 5,261. If the errors in enumeration were the same in both areas (a large assumption), this enables us to guess that the 1767 figures could be corrected to about 18,500 London Catholics and about 24,000 for the whole District.

Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1997. ix + 244 pp. $37.50 cloth." International Labor and Working-Class History 57 (April 2000): 163–65. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0147547900382801.
Full textAbstract:
Very well-researched and well-written, this book provides an excellent discussion of the activities of federal surveillance agencies in the Pittsburgh mill district (western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and eastern Ohio). However, Seeing Reds is neither about surveillance agencies nor the Pittsburgh Left per se, but rather about their intersection: the “federal government's effort to define, understand, and suppress leftists” during the period of World War One. It begins with an excellent survey of the early history of federal surveillance agencies, including the Bureau of Investigation (BI), the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Military Intelligence Division, and the American Protective League. McCormick pays special attention to the BI, the original name of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He looks closely at four men who, as special agents in the Pittsburgh Field Office, played a particularly important part in his story. Each had a background in either police and/or private investigative work or a college degree and/or legal training.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: the article considers the names of micro-objects of the Middle Vychegda River basin, recorded in court documents of the XVII century. Official papers serve as material data bearers. They contain data on the life activity of a concrete society, people in a particular historical stage. The micro-names recorded in the texts are part of the lexical system of the Komi language of that period. They are formed according to the basic laws of the language and operate in accordance with historical rules and traditions. Their study is relevant, first of all, in differentiation of the dialect boundaries and, therefore, ethnic groups in the past. Objective: differentiation of micro-names, their linguistic, semantic and phonetic verification. Research materials: the empirical bases of the study are three court cases of the middle of the XVII century relating to the Middle-Eastern Vychegda Komi people. Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, the original lexemes extracted from written sources, reflecting the regional toponymy of the XVII century, are differentiated; a multi-aspect characterization of the lexical materials selected for analysis is carried out; new lexical data, that were previously not recorded in the local toponymical literature due to the functional specificity of micro-toponymical names, are introduced into scientific circulation; author’s etymological verifications are proposed, taking into account linguistic phenomena and regularities of different levels. The uniqueness of the collected material is a consequence of the border location: in the north, the region is adjacent to the territories of distribution of the Udora and Vym dialects of the Komi language; in the west – to the Northern Russian dialects of the Lensky District of the Arkhangelsk Oblast; in the southeast – to the Syktyvkar dialect of the Komi language. The results of the analysis show that the main feature of the adaptations should be considered the influence of the phonetics of the Northern Russian dialects. The letters that are not typical for the Russian language are transmitted by Russian sounds and combinations of sounds that are close to them in terms of articulation. But at the same time, the Komi phonetic system is characterized by a number of features that are reflected in Russian orthoepy and orthography. The research data can be used as a source of comparative data in the onomastic study of adjacent territories, as a base for creation of explanatory, etymological, and spelling dictionaries.

Full textAbstract:
In 1938 or 1939, an uninitiated and unwed girl named Nangombe living in the Uukwaluudhi district of Ovamboland, northern Namibia, became pregnant. If mission and colonial accounts are to be believed, it was not an unusual occurrence at this time, but it had profound consequences for Nangombe and those close to her. By the 1930s, the belief that pre-initiation pregnancies boded ill fortune for clan, chief and community was highly contested, but it was far from extinct. When the chief discovered the pregnancy, he expelled Nangombe. She took refuge in a neighboring society and bore a daughter. While such infants were often killed at birth, Nangombe's was not. Mother and daughter returned home within the year. The chief, enraged by their reappearance, then expelled the entire family.The problems created by Nangombe's child caused tension in her household and the family was driven to begging for food. Nangombe's mother, seeing the catastrophes already caused by the presence of her illegitimate granddaughter and fearing that worse would come, urged her daughter to kill the child. Nangombe refused, while her mother continued to offer dire predictions that their lineage would be destroyed if the child were left alive. Finally, in July 1941, Nangombe gave into her mother's pressure and strangled her daughter. Her father and the local chief reported her act to colonial officials. The colonial government of South West Africa investigated and sent her to trial with her mother, who was charged as an accessory to murder.The nature of the case changed abruptly in the colonial capital of Windhoek. Instead of trying Nangombe for murder, the Supreme Court convened to decide whether she was insane, despite testimony from her village asserting that she was sane and that the murder had been a rational act. Her mother was transformed from a co-defendant to a witness to her daughter's physical and mental health. Nangombe was diagnosed as epileptic and, on this basis, committed to a native asylum in Fort Beaufort, South Africa. She remained there until 1946, when she was released and returned home. She lived out the rest of her life in relative anonymity, little noticed in the communities where she lived and invisible to the colonial administration – a far cry from the scrutiny and public interventions which attended her young adulthood.

Basil Chapman retired from ACF Industries, a railroad-car maker, after thirty-eight years of service. In December 2003, he received an unexpected phone call at his West Virginia home from a union representative, who informed him that an ACF executive wanted to speak with him. When they spoke, the executive informed Mr. Chapman that ACF was planning on changing its retirees’ health coverage plan. The ACF plan would now have a lifetime maximum benefit cap on hospital and surgical expenses for each participant and would require retirees to make monthly contributions. According to court papers filed later, Mr. Chapman responded, “We have a contract. You can’t do that.” Then, he said that he would “file in federal court” against ACF. The next business day, ACF filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri asking the court to rule that retiree benefits were not vested and that ACF accordingly could alter benefits unilaterally. On January 26, 2004, Mr. Chapman, other named plaintiffs, and their union sued ACF in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.

Abstract Soon after the Warings’ arrival in New York, John J. Parker wrote the judge, asking him to hold a term of court in Wheeling, West Virginia. Retired federal judges are frequently called upon for such duties, but Judge Waring quickly made it clear that he had no interest in returning to southern or border states for judicial duty. Earlier, he had informed his circuit chief judge that he and Mrs. Waring hoped that they could “do more effective work in breaking down the evils of racial prejudice from . . . outside the curtain of White Supremacy.” Now, he indicated that some of the judges in New York’s southern district had been urging him to assist in relieving congested dockets there, but that he had not yet fixed a definite time for taking on such duties. “If and when I do take on assignment for Court work,” he pointedly added, “I think I would prefer working here in a much more comfortable and congenial surrounding which I have come to appreciate and enjoy.” He remained firm in this resolve. When, in 1955, Parker again invited him to attend a session of the Fourth Circuit judicial conference and to hold a term of court in West Virginia, he declined both invitations.

Full textAbstract:
The general purpose of the tests, which were usually of an exploratory nature, were localization and preliminary identification of the stone structures in the area of the lower castle, the former functioning of which was confirmed by analysis of historical 16th and 17th sources, as well as by interpretation of the relics of the walls visible on the surface of the area or marked on the basis of topography of the area. One of the elements of the tests was complete exposing of the earlier unknown lower storey of the of the so called well-tower, an originally very tall room, where the castle well was functioning in the early decades of the 17th century. Appropriate decoding of the information contained in both, the written sources and in the currently existing historical topography of the Olsztyn castle was very important for interpretation of the uncovered fragments of its stone structures. Combined with results of the field investigations, it allowed precise interpretation of the discovered relics of the objects, the location of which had been disputable until then. In the course of the tests carried out in 2013, the foundations of three no longer existing original buttresses the remnants of which are visible in the eastern wall face of the curtain wall, separating the main court from the lower castle, were uncovered and documented, and the original dimensions of the buttresses were identified on the plan of the building. In 2015, during the 1st stage of the sampling tests, relics of the northern section of the eastern encircling wall of the lower castle were uncovered revealing on its outer side a small room, perhaps a lavatory, situated next to the bath located there in the 16th century. During the 2nd stage, relics of three base courses of the piers of a flyover leading to the main courtyard and the upper castle were uncovered, as well as fragments of the relics of the main gateway of the castle. During the 3rd stage, GPR and sampling tests were carried out within the area of the well-tower and of the front part of the castle cave, the former castle cellars. In 2016, the buried eastern room of the well-tower, in which the upper fragment of the carved shaft of the well was discovered, was completely uncovered. The depth of the exploration reached 10 m. Originally, the well-room was a very high hall with no intermediate floor, only with internal porches connected by stairs or ladders used for communication within the building or defence. There was also a court excavation made in the area of the well-tower vestibule and a fragment of the threshold of the entry to the cellars made in the cave. In 2017, exploratory drilling of the western fragment of the main gateway relics was made, revealing a fragment of its south-west corner, a buttress added to the corner and a fragment of the southern wall of the building, the so called tower, the eastern edge of which was added to the buttress. The tests will be continued. Archaeological inventories are planned within the area of the castle are planned in 2018.
