"While much has changed, one thing has remained constant: the dedication of National Fuel and its current 2,100 employees to finding, transporting and delivering much-needed, clean-burning natural gas supplies safely and reliably to utility customers and others throughout our regional pipeline network," Tanski said. "I...
Under Tanski, National Fuel has moved to expand its pipeline network bringing natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions in western and central Pennsylvania to markets in New York, Canada and the eastern U.S. The company in the last couple of years also has stepped up its natural gas drilling operations in ...
“National Fuel is in an excellent position for the future," Chairman David F. Smith said in a statement. "During his tenure as president and CEO, Ron has continued our legacy of tremendous leadership, long-term focus, deliberate decision making, and financial discipline, resulting in ongoing growth and value for the co...
JUNEAU, Alaska — One Obama administration action may be safe under President Donald Trump — the long-sought renaming of North America’s tallest peak to Denali.
U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan said the Alaska mountain came up during an hourlong meeting he and fellow Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski had with Trump and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in March.
Sullivan said during a weekend speech to the Alaska Federation of Natives that Trump asked if the senators thought the name change from Mount McKinley to Denali should be reversed, the Alaska Public Radio Network reported . Sullivan said both senators emphatically said no. Trump asked why.
The state spent decades trying to get the mountain recognized as Denali, an Athabascan word meaning “the high one” that Alaskans widely used.
The late U.S. Rep. Ralph Regula of Ohio — the birthplace of President William McKinley — led a protracted fight to keep the mountain named for the 25th president. Others kept up the battle when he left office.
In 2015, then-Interior Secretary Sally Jewell issued an order changing the name to Denali.
As a presidential candidate, Trump tweeted his displeasure with the action, calling it an insult to Ohio and saying he would change it back.
During the March meeting, Trump did not express a desire to change the name back but simply asked if it was something he should do, Murkowski spokeswoman Karina Petersen said in an email Tuesday.
Murkowski considers the matter settled, Petersen said.
State historian Jo Antonson said she does not think the name will be changed again, saying it would be deeply unpopular with Alaskans.
“But anything can be changed,” she said.

According to Pitchfork, New York musical ensemble Object Collection has put together a 100-minute opera based on the random noises picked up during live recordings of Fugazi. It won’t feature any actual Fugazi songs, but Object Collection has secured the band’s “approval and endorsement” to mine the otherwise useless c...
The band itself is into it at least, with Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto releasing a statement about how they were “both blown away and disoriented” by It’s All True. Picciotto went on to say, “we feel moved by Object Collection’s engagement with our archive material and sluate everyone involved for their hard work and patienc...
You can see a predictably weird trailer below.
'Tis the season of caps and gowns and commencement addresses, and furiously searching for a first job. And Hollywood knows what you’re going through. While someone in your family probably gave you a copy of Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, here are a few movies about graduating and post-grad life you may want to add to your ...
If you’ve never seen the classic 1967 film, post-graduation is the perfect time to catch up with Ben Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), who, maybe like you, is disillusioned with what life has to offer after he gets his diploma. Things get interesting when he begins an affair with an older woman, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft)....
Hannah Horvath has nothing on Aura, the flailing protagonist of Lena Dunham’s film Tiny Furniture, which helped put her on the map before Girls. Dunham wrote, directed and stars in the film about a college grad who moves home after graduation and has no idea where her life is headed. Though the film verges on “too real...
Although it’s about a high school graduation and takes place at a party on grad night, this film homes in on the feeling of regret you can have when something is ending. Everyone in the cast -- which includes Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ethan Embry, Seth Green, Lauren Ambrose and more -- has a different agenda, but finds res...
Rent it on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu or YouTube.
It’s all right there in the title. Sometimes reality does bite, especially for this group of Gen X twenty-somethings including Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn and Janeane Garofalo. The film follows Ryder’s Lelaina and her friends on their post-graduate adventures, which aren't that glamorous. Ben Stiller also mak...

Amazon is exiting the daily deals space. According to a message now being displayed on the Amazon Local homepage, the company’s deals platform is closing up shop on December 18, 2015. At that point, Amazon will stop selling deals via the website and in the Amazon Local mobile app. Customers who have already bought deal...
In addition, Groupon, which has been trying to expand into more diverse offerings around local commerce, announced 1,100 layoffs in September at the cost of $35 million, and the closure of operations in several non-U.S. markets.
Given Amazon was not even the go-to destination associated with daily deals, it’s not likely its platform was seeing much success.
GeekWire was first to spot the closure, noting also that after the Dec. 18th deadline, users will no longer be able to download or install the Amazon Local app if they uninstall it or switch devices.
From today until the date of the shutdown, Amazon will clear out its inventory and continue to sell deals, and customers will be able to use both the site and app as usual. These vouchers will be able to be redeemed after Amazon Local closes, as the website itself will remain online so users can continue to access thei...
While Amazon will no longer directly run a daily deals platform, it will still offer “deals” of some sort via the main Amazon.com website. That is, the company says that its Deal of the Day, Gold Box Deals and Kindle Daily Deals will not be affected by Amazon Local’s shutdown.
In addition, the company says that it’s not existing local commerce entirely – Amazon Home Services, a sort of Angie’s list-like service for finding local pros, remains online, and it’s continuing to work with local restaurants through Amazon Prime Now.
The move to get out of the daily deals business follows the closure of Amazon Destinations earlier this month. The site offered Amazon shoppers the ability to find deals on hotels within driving distance of their current location – that is, “weekend getaways.” At the time, Amazon only offered a vague statement about ho...
Effective December 18, 2015, we will stop selling Amazon Local daily deals. We’ve learned a great deal from the daily deals business and will look for ways to apply these lessons in the future as we continue to innovate on behalf of our customers and merchants.
In a video recording dated in 2012, Netanyahu can be seen speaking to what presumably are family members, women and children, completely unawares to the fact that his remarks are being recorded the entire time.
The UN reports as of 29 July that a total of 1,118 people have been killed in the now 23 day assault on Gaza, 827 (or 74%) of which are innocent civilians. Updated figures for 30 July from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights put the current death toll at 1324, of which 1130 (or 85%) are innocent civilians, along wi...
These figures clearly tell us that only a very small amount of the targets are actually military targets, Hamas militants or resistance fighters, given that they account for only 20-25% of the deaths. The vast majority of those killed have been innocent civilians, this despite the IDF’s sophisticated US-made and financ...
These figures make more sense however when you put them in the context of advice given to the IDF from Israeli lawyers and statements by top military and political officials.
said one senior official of the international law division (ILD) of the Israeli Military Advocate General’s Office.
This statement presupposes that Israel has the right to order people out of their homes, without having to give a justification, without having to prove that it is a military outpost, just an arbitrary pronouncement by the military and either the civilians must flee or be murdered in cold blood by the IDF, in which cas...
Israel’s actions are therefore the exact definition of terrorism according to the U.S. army, where even just the threat of violence to obtain political goals is terrorism; Israel is saying to the civilian population “leave your homes, or else,” while then presupposing that if their orders are not heeded they are thus a...
What this amounts to is basically the military/war-time equivalent of holding a gun to someone’s head and saying “don’t make me shoot you,” and then demanding that they give you their wallet… or else. When the person doesn’t comply with your terror demands and use of intimidation, you then shoot them dead and claim tha...
Israel has used this terror tactic in order to take away 44% of Gaza’s land, drawing up a 3km buffer zone around the borders and then proceeding to hold the gun to the head of every innocent civilian living within that area and saying “don’t make us shoot you,” instructing them to leave their homes “immediately” or thu...
This history is particularly important, it gives a clear context to the recent historical findings which echo the exact same sentiments, and thus prove that the strategic military doctrine has not much changed throughout the years, and that these genocidal policies are instead longstanding and rooted in tradition.
“What happened in the Dahiye Quarter of Beirut in 2006, will happen in every village from which shots are fired on Israel. We will use disproportionate force against it and we will cause immense damage and destruction. From our point of view these are not civilian villages but military bases.
With the recent headlines depicting the carnage and the slaughter currently plaguing Gaza today, one would be hard pressed to doubt the seriousness of these statements.
Understanding the civilian death toll in this context makes much more sense than listening to the Israeli governments pronouncements of using all necessary means to protect civilian life (a claim which is usually followed by some form of ‘under law’ or ‘all necessary lawful means,’ which given the above is equally as t...
“On 11 June, the Israeli Air Force targeted an alleged member of an armed group riding on a motorcycle together with a ten-year old child, in the Beit Lahiya area. The man died instantly and the child, who sustained serious injuries, died three days later; two civilian bystanders were also injured.
As I noted here, despite all of these provocations and attacks, Hamas still did not fire any rockets and therefore had abided by the 2012 November ceasefire… until Israel struck them first. After the month long military attack and raid of the West Bank, and the subsequent military aerial bombing raids in Gaza that prov...
It is within this context that the first round of Hamas rockets were unleashed, and it is through this that we must analyze the claims that Israel is acting defensively.

Before his sophomore summer, David Cordero ’16 could count on one hand the number of times he had ridden a horse. On Sunday, he represented Dartmouth’s equestrian team at Zones, one step below the national stage.
In the past year, the Dartmouth women’s rugby program has been host to many changes. Not only is it now a fully recognized varsity sport, but it is also one of the few programs in NCAA women’s rugby to be fielding teams of both sevens and the more traditional fifteens.
The Dartmouth men’s tennis team’s 2015-16 season has been rock solid, with the team currently sporting an impressive 15-8 record. The team has scored highlight wins over many quality opponents, including then No. 37 Drake University and then No. 32 Tulane University.
It may seem strange for a kid from D.C. to grow up a fan of the Chicago Cubs. In the summer before I started first grade while visiting my grandparents in Chicago, my grandfather took my brother and me to Wrigley Field.

On the soccer team’s team photo posted on the Dartmouth website, one notable member is missing: Marcos Robertson-Lavalle ’17, the team manager. Working behind the scenes, Robertson-Lavalle plays an instrumental role in preparing the team and contributing to its overall success.
Justin Donawa ’19 began his collegiate athletic career with a bang. On a cool October night at Burnham Field in Hanover, the Dartmouth men’s soccer team was locked in a nail-biter against Ivy League rival Columbia University. Midway through the first half, Donawa made his second career appearance for the Big Green as a...
After winning two consecutive Ivy League titles to end a 22-year drought, the Dartmouth baseball team has met an identical end-of-season fate each of the last five years: winning its own Red Rolfe Division, only to lose in the ensuing Ivy championship series each time. With the Ivy League portion of the 2016 schedule o...

Since appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 16-year-old high school baseball prodigy, Bryce Harper has been one of the most polarizing figures in American sports. Some, like Tom Verducci, who profiled him for that Sports Illustrated cover, have billed him as a prodigy — “baseball’s Lebron [James].” Others, ...
P Diddy has told NME he wants to hook up with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders at his first UK show in five years in Glasgow tomorrow (September 29).
The rapper, whose new band Diddy–Dirty Money plays The Old Fruitmarket for MTV Crashes… Glasgow, also admitted that he may even get the sticksman to join him onstage after the two struck up a friendship earlier this year.
The rapper continued by saying that he’s looking forward to visiting the city for the first time.
Diddy added that the gig is likely to see an outing for some of the rapper’s older hits, as well as material from Diddy–Dirty Money‘s forthcoming album ‘Last Train To Paris’.

In November, the National Endowment for the Arts released the latest installment of its Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, which has been appearing every five years since 1982. Most people might be unable to imagine a duller document, but for those working in the arts—not least those working in classical music...
The keep-you-up-all-night item is a graph in the League of American Orchestras report demonstrating that, in the past, several generations experienced a spike in participation as they got older. That pattern led many music professionals to take the sanguine view that a taste for classical music is simply acquired as ti...
Before everyone jumps off the Matterhorn singing “Das Lied von der Erde,” I should point out a few nuggets of good news. More classical music is being consumed on the Internet than anyone suspected: forty million Americans have apparently sampled a bit of Bach or Brahms online. Hispanic-Americans are one demographic gr...
Despite the dire trends, the classical audience remains reasonably healthy. Although a smaller portion of the population is heading out to concerts, those who do go are going more often: orchestras reported a slight rise in total attendance between 2003 and 2007. The challenge is to bring younger generations into this ...
In 2008, Justin Kantor and David Handler, two classical musicians in their late twenties, opened a club called (Le) Poisson Rouge, on the site of the storied old Village Gate, on Bleecker Street. They had the idea that classical music would be best served not in the standard configuration—what Handler has called the “p...
I’ve dropped by Poisson Rouge several times in recent weeks, wondering whether it represents the classical future. Certainly, it’s a different experience, requiring an adjustment of familiar decorum. Last month, the violinist Hilary Hahn played a short Bach program at the club, and, just as she launched into the majest...
There’s a certain amount of background noise at Poisson Rouge. Glasses clink, chairs creak, plates are dropped in the kitchen. But the audience is notably quieter than the average subscription crowd, which habitually coughs, rustles, reads, and snores through concerts. The pianist Jonathan Biss told me that the club’s ...
Several nights later, the young Israeli-born pianist Inon Barnatan, a player of uncommon sensitivity, presented an unconventional, almost free-associative program in which he mused on connections between poetry and music. After playing Mendelssohn’s Rondo Capriccioso and two of the composer’s Songs Without Words, Barna...
Poisson Rouge is not an ideal space. The sound is dry: at Barnatan’s concert, a few soft passages that would have floated to the back of a naturally resonant hall were almost inaudible. Also, the programming is erratic. On many nights, the effort to mix genres yields bracing results: at a concert organized by Orange Mo...

How many fingers am I holding up?
Mathematicians around the world are rushing to check millennia of calculations, as the Australian prime minister Malcom Turnbull has explained that their discoveries aren’t as concrete as we thought.
“The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,” said Turnbull.
Turnbull’s comments came as he proposed a new law to force tech companies to give security services access to encrypted messages. Apps like WhatsApp currently prevent any snoopers from reading your messages using end-to-end encryption, jumbling it up in such a way that only the recipient can de-jumble it.
This form of encryption is underpinned by complex mathematics that can’t simply be overturned by an eavesdropper, whether that’s Whatsapp itself, a government agency, criminals, or anyone else. For security services that are trying to get access to messages sent by suspected terrorists this can be problematic, but encr...
However, this has not stopped governments from trying. The UK home secretary Amber Rudd has previously called encryption “completely unacceptable” and the UK prime minister Theresa May has said that the big internet companies give terrorists “safe spaces” to communicate.
In November 2016, the UK parliament passed the Investigatory Powers Act that put into legislation the ability to force companies to remove encryption. But how that will work in practice is far from clear.
Encryption isn’t just used for messaging apps. Online shopping, for example, would be impossible without the ability to send digital information in a way that can’t just be intercepted.
Taking Turnbull’s comments to their logical conclusion, Pythagoras’s Theorem could be in jeopardy if enough votes are cast in parliament, and we could boost the fight against climate change by repealing the law of conservation of energy.
Where will it end? Only a few months ago New Scientist called for politicians to gain a greater understanding of technology. Perhaps the first lesson on their timetable should be to study a bit of mathematical history.
When the ancient Greek mathematician Hippasus proved that √2 couldn’t be written as a fraction, he was drowned at sea by the Pythagoreans as it didn’t chime with their views. But two and half thousand years later, it is still true, regardless of ideological opinion. The laws of mathematics are here to stay forever, whe...
That was when the Bureau of Investigation—the forerunner of today’s FBI—first opened a file on the magazine.
This is an excerpt from the new e-book Surveillance Nation: Critical Reflections on Privacy and Its Threats, a fascinating and timeless alternative history on the rise of the surveillance state. The e-book is now available on tablets, smartphones and computers—download yours today.
A healthy democracy demands transparency from its government and privacy for its citizenry. Only if we know what our government is up to can we exercise our responsibility as citizens to ratify or veto their actions at the ballot box. And only if we can be assured that our conversations are not being monitored by gover...
However, too many government officials, even in democratic states, tend to favor secrecy for their own actions and transparency from the citizenry. When asked what measures they are employing that might threaten our privacy, officials have long responded with some version of “We can’t tell you, of course… but trust us....
Because democracy depends on government transparency and personal privacy, but our representatives too often prefer the opposite, citizens, civil society and the press must be vigilant about privacy and its threats. Absent popular resistance, the tendency of government to favor secrecy and access to its citizens’ most ...
Edward Snowden’s in June 2013 disclosures of the National Security Agency’s vast, global spying network are only the latest in a series of revelations with a common theme: security and intelligence agencies have an omnivorous appetite for information about all of us. Even if they act entirely in good faith, their job d...
The history of political spying and unwarranted incursions on privacy is a long and troubling one. Hoover got his start, as a young lawyer just out of law school, in the Radical Alien Division of the Justice Department. There, he helped orchestrate the infamous Palmer Raids of 1919-20 after a series of bombs exploded t...
