A major objective of these CMBs was to determine primary and secondary contributions from coal-fired plants. Arsenic and Se are often used as "markers" for primary emissions from coal-fired plants (10), but Table II shows that substantial amounts of these elements are associated with regional sulfate, most of which results from transport from distant coal-fired plants. The regional sulfate component was based largely on FA of fine particles collected in Shenandoah Valley (4), which mainly represents material transported into the area from the west. As previously discussed (11), broadly similar components can be constructed from data of Thurston and Spengler (6), Pierson et al. (12), and Rahn and Lowenthal (13). At present, we don t know if this component is appropriate for samples collected within the ORV. Also, industrial sources such as copper plants and iron and steel mills interfere with some elements that might otherwise be good markers for coal combustion. Gallium shows... 

Before the war there were only about 2500 slaves in Virginia s Shenandoah Valley. By 1790 there were 10,000. Although the demand for hemp declined precipitously after the war, rope and cordage were still important commodities and large-scale hemp production required manpower. "Take away slaves," argued William C. Bullitt, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1849 which debated the slavery issue, "and you destroy the production of that valuable article, which is bound to make the rich lands of Kentucky and Missouri still more valuable."...

Ideality is basically a qualitative measure and is used to compare the benefits and harm caused by the introduction of a given system. For example, when a gas pipeline in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, the United States is considered, its Fu can be interpreted as the increased energy independence of the country, the increased chemical production, the additional income for the locals, and so on. On the other hand, Fh may be interpreted as lost valuable agricultural land, harm to the unique views, potential ecological disaster in the case of an explosion and fire, and so on. Such a comparison has purely qualitative nature. However, even in this example, it is entirely possible to assign to all these functions monetary or utility values, and the ideality of a system will be expressed in purely quantitative terms.

July 3, 2007, Shenandoah Valley, VA. Five people died in a manure pit at a dairy farm. Reports suggest that the likely cause was methane or hydrogen sulfide gas. Emergency workers assume that the farmer was overcome first. Then his hired man tried to rescue him. Finally the farmer s wife and two children also tried to help. The accident began when the farmer, Scott Showalter, tried to transfer manure from one small pit to a larger pit that measured 20 X 20 X 8 feet deep. The transfer pipe became clogged. The farmer entered the pit to remove the blockage.
