My day job requires me to edit and sometimes write news articles on the topic of hydraulic fracturing and drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus shale. This morning is the first time I've read about water being drawn from the Ohio River for use in fracking. It's 6:15 a.m. and I need to get ready for the work day. Perhaps more thoughts on that this evening when I get home.

American Queen to sail again? (Updated)
Could the American Queen be cruising again on the Ohio River in 2012 or 2013? Maybe.

A tip of the hat to Mark Kincaid. Thanks.

Here's more.
