Abstract:

Although new houses in the Brightleaf subdivision in Southeast Durham are pristine and new, the ownership of natural gas, oil, geothermal heat, hydrocarbons, and even water belongs to DRH Energy, a subsidiary of D.R. Horton, one of the nation's largest homebuilders. For the past two years, D.R. Horton has sold the mineral rights, and the right to drill, mine, stored and explore them to its Colorado-based energy company on at least 425 of its lots in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Coincidentally, the transactions began around the time the push began to legalize fracking in North Carolina.

Abstract:

Although the roster of the Durham Bulls baseball team is in a state of permanent renovation, Durham Bulls Athletic Park on the other hand, isn't. Although it's a fairly new addition to the downtown architecture, the DBAP is actually one of the oldest parks in the international league.

Abstract:

Nearly three years after being unceremoniously dispatched as manager from Major League soccer, Colin Clarke and his Puerto Rico Islanders have shocked the North American soccer establishment by humbling the top division's crown jewel, the Galaxy. Just 15 months after vanquishing the likes of Donovan and Beckham, Clarke left Puerto Rico to become head coach of the Cary-based Carolina Railhawks.
