Immigration, yes. Indentured serfdom, no - Salon.com
Immigration, yes. Indentured serfdom, no - Salon.com: Unfortunately, the U.S., having abolished slavery, still has pockets of indentured servant labor. Whether relatively well-paid, like many highly educated H-1B workers, or poorly paid, like many H-2A agricultural workers, indentured servants are, in effect, indentured serfs. Because their presence in the U.S. is dependent on their employment by a particular employer, they cannot quit and are motivated to appease their employer, no matter how brutally they are exploited. If they protest maltreatment, they can be fired and forced to return to their home countries.

Bible-Minded Cities
Bible-Minded Cities: The report ranks the most and least “Bible-minded” cities by looking at how people in those cities view the Bible. The study is based on 42,855 interviews conducted nationwide and the analysis of Bible trends was commissioned by American Bible Society. Individuals who report reading the Bible in a typical week and who strongly assert the Bible is accurate in the principles it teaches are considered to be Bible-minded. This definition captures action and attitude—those who both engage and esteem the Christian scriptures. The rankings thus reflect an overall openness or resistance to the Bible in the country’s largest markets.

A Mysterious Patch Of Light Shows Up In The North Dakota Dark : Krulwich Wonders... : NPR: When oil comes to the surface, it often brings natural gas with it, and according to North Dakota's Department of Mineral Resources, 29 percent of the natural gas now extracted in North Dakota isn't captured. Gas isn't as profitable as oil, and the energy companies don't always build the pipes or systems to carry it off. For a year (with extensions), North Dakota allows drillers to burn gas, just let it flare. There are now so many gas wells burning fires in the North Dakota night, the fracking fields can be seen from deep space.

I wrote a short story on that theme, saved it, took it out a couple of times and rewrote it, and then during one of those rewrites it really took off. The novel started to flow. I didn't really choose. It just sort of happened. I was writing very instinctively in those days, casting around, experimenting, doing lots of stories. And I stumbled on the vampire theme.

Security Deposits after Foreclosure (California) | Steve Beede
Security Deposits after Foreclosure (California) | Steve Beede: Under California Civil Code Section 1950.5, a successor owner is jointly liable with the former owner to retun the deposits once the tenant vacates. The idea is that the innocent tenant’s right to the deposit should be protected and that any disputes over this are between the current and prior owner, not then tenant. There is an ambiguity being argued by lenders that this obligation is extinguished by the foreclosure just as is the rental agreement itself. This may be held to be true where the post-foreclosure owner treats the rental agreement as extinguished. In that case, the tenant similarly has no obligation to pay the rent and so the situation may become a wash. But the result is reasonably different where the new owner treats the rental agreement as continuing and actually collects rent. There, most likely, the law will protect the tenant.
