Salazar halts oil and gas lease sale near key lands
In the waning weeks of the Bush administration, a rush to auction oil and gas leases near environmentally sensitive lands yielded six million dollars for the government plus royalties. The data noted widespread job postings across major and niche online boards. In West Memphis Arkansas a car bomb injured Dr. Trent P. Pierce, chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board, and authorities investigated possible targets. In Rochester Minnesota a self described vampyre candidate faced charges over threats to a teenage girl who broke off their online relationship.
