Thank you !!

I like Gus as a nickname, but I'm not sure for what. Haha! Alexander is a nice middle name, though. I wouldn't use it as a first name myself because I don't care of Alex as a nickname, but I known would probably fall into the habit of using it.
Emma Josephine is lovely. I don't think it needs another name. I'm not a big fan of the double middle name trend, personally.

I mean opinions!
What sort of syllable count and emphasis do you like best?
3-2-1 is very nice
Josephine Emma Pearl
Josephine Emma Faye
Josephine Emma Blythe
I don't think I like 3-1-2 as much:
Josephine Pearl Emma
3-1-2 with the evenness of Emma doesn't work for me
Josephine Pearl Emma
Whereas 3-1-2 with a different syllable emphasis flows...but you want Emma.
Josephine Pearl Adele
Josephine Emma Elisabeth
Josephine Emma Cornelia
Josephine Emma Hermione
3-4-2 isn't as nice, but works
Josephine Elisabeth Emma
3-2-3 probably also depends on emphasis. This doesn't flow to me:
Josephine Emma Adelaide
3-3-2 is also tricky...
Josephine Adelaide Emma
3-2-2 works all right as long as the syllable emphasis differs
Josephine Emma Corinne
Josephine Emma Adele
Josephine Emma Elise
I'm less fond of the reverse-emphasis, like Josephine Elise Emma.

The world can always use another documentary that makes a passionate plea against the death penalty. When a film takes us inside a particular case to show us how the system has failed to serve justice -- how politics, errant logic, reactionary fear, classism and racism govern the use of capital punishment, and how even a cursory look into a perpetrator's formative years almost inevitably reveals a series of horrors -- the result can be a powerful tool for change.
That's why it's such a shame that Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer, the second documentary from director Nick Broomfield to follow the misfortunes of the Florida prostitute-turned-killer, is marred by gratuitous narration and a tone of tabloid sensationalism.
Broomfield, a Brit whose films include Biggie and Tupac (2002), Kurt and Courtney (1998) and Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam (1994), is a stranger neither to sensation nor to Aileen Wuornos. In 1992, two years after Wuornos was sentenced to death for the murders of seven men, Broomfield released Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer, in which he documented the attempts by Wuornos's adoptive mother and lawyer to profit from the story. The film also revealed that several of the police officers in the case had struck media deals; eventually, these officers resigned from the force. Now, ten years later (with Patty Jenkins's drama of the same events, Monster, currently wowing audiences in theaters), Broomfield returns with the rest of the story.
Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer
Which, for whatever reason, he narrates. The film opens with Broomfield's loud, leaden voice powering over footage taken from within a car driving into a lush wood; he pounds the viewer with exposition that could have been gleaned in any number of other ways. (These first few minutes are the film's worst; things do improve, though they never transcend this flaw.) Later, Broomfield uses voiceover to express opinions about the politics of the case and to draw conclusions about Wuornos and her emotional and mental states. For a while, you may puzzle over where you have heard this precise quality of bombast; then you'll realize, perhaps with a flash of distaste, that its smarmy vintage is Robin Leach. Is it possible that Broomfield simply doesn't register the cloying, cheapening effect of his voiceover style? Elsewhere, he is compassionate toward his subject and sensitive to the gravity of the case.
Meanwhile, Broomfield's voice is far from the only part of him that makes an appearance. In fact, throughout the film, he isn't merely a documentarian -- he's also a subject. As the movie opens, Wuornos's case is in appeal, and Broomfield is served a subpoena to appear as a witness in behalf of the defense. Joe Hobson, Wuornos's new lawyer, wants to show that her first counsel -- a man alternately known as "Dr. Legal" and "Steve," who once smoked seven joints before giving her legal advice -- was inept. To do so, Hobson interviews Broomfield about his experiences with Dr. Legal and shows clips from the 1992 documentary depicting the lawyer soliciting and accepting money for interviews. Then, when both Broomfield and his film are cross-examined, the prosecutor accuses Broomfield of editing to serve a pro-Wuornos agenda. In the infamous pot-smoking segment, Dr. Legal appears first in one shirt and then another. Could Broomfield have spliced together two different scenes? On the stand, he says he didn't do it.

It is one of the film's best moments. Suddenly, the man who is supposed to serve as our guide through a dense thicket of questionable characters and events is challenged; we watch a film in which Broomfield watches his previous film and attempts to defend it. By sharing this moment, Broomfield invites us into the process of constructing the story. It's a graceful move, nuanced and smart, in direct opposition to the didacticism of the voiceovers. Unfortunately, this penetrating self-reflection (catalyzed, of course, by the prosecutor and not by Broomfield) is otherwise abandoned. Even as he pre-sents Aileen's scathing critique of the co-opting of her story for financial gains, Broomfield fails to interrogate his own motives and role.
Meanwhile, Wuornos's story is terrible and wrenching. Name an affliction, and she has suffered it: abuse, abandonment, poverty, pre-teen pregnancy, homelessness, rape, mental illness and, finally, capital punishment. It is far from surprising that she is a ravaged woman, highly flammable and with a tenuous attachment to reality. Whether she's offering an articulate polemic against the society and system that failed her or, via paranoia, impugning the police for purposely allowing her to kill, she is an electrifying presence. Her suffering is so great; her body is such a map of that suffering: huge, manic eyes goggling above her bombed-out face, a twisted mouth torn between defense and revelation.
The film's strongest segments are the interviews with Wuornos, in which she is alternately warm, enraged, deceitful, confessional, deluded and likable. In the end, Wuornos rises above the film like a force of nature: No matter how much of his unexamined self Broomfield allows into the film, it's Wuornos and her shell-shocked face that we remember -- that, indeed, we can't possibly forget.

Wake officials breathe easier over school year start
Posted August 26, 2013
Updated August 27, 2013
Cary, N.C. — Hundreds of thousands of traditional-calendar students in North Carolina headed out the door Monday for the first day of school, and Wake County Public School System officials said they were pleased overall with a smooth operation.
The school district was marred last year by major transportation problems, and administrators were on standby Monday to tackle any problems in their busing plan, which was overhauled for the 2013-14 school year.
The changes include placing an additional 50 buses and 200 drivers on the road compared with last year. More than 930 buses ran more than 4,600 routes Monday, and each bus was equipped with a GPS device to keep real-time track of routes.
"Overall, we haven't had that many problems, but we are looking at some trouble areas and what we can do to improve those," said Renee McCoy, a school district spokeswoman.
The school district also set up a website for parents to map routes and get live updates on school bus progress.
More than 75,000 students ride the bus in Wake County, and officials said most buses arrived on schedule Monday morning. A few were late, and some didn't show up at all, parents said.
Sherrie Bolton wound up driving her three children to school after the bus skipped the stop in their Apex neighborhood. Last year, she said, the bus never showed up.
"It's better than last year – at least there was a bus. It just skipped us, so we're almost there," Bolton said. "I'll fill out the form later today and probably try to call see if anybody answers."
Wake schools leaders pleased with transportation on first day
Wake school officials plan to work on busing problems
School district officials encouraged parents to fill out an online form to report any problems with school buses or provide other feedback. They were already sifting through comments Monday morning to pinpoint trouble spots.
"We're really looking at the information parents send in," McCoy said. "This is so crucial for us. Based on what the parents are telling us, we know where to center our attention on those problems."
Mike Barnes said the first month of last year was "pretty rough" because parents could never count on bus transportation for their children.
"I guess time will tell to see how smoothly they run (this year)," Barnes said. "I think it's important to have a smooth running bus system. The parents depend on it to get on work on time themselves."
Susan Scalco took a day off Monday to ensure her children made it to school, and she gave the district a thumbs-up because the bus was only five minutes late.
"They should have mothers plan out these routes," Scalco said. "We know when it's terrible traffic. We know how to get to A and B the shortest shortcut and pick everyone up at the same time."
McCoy said some buses ran later than usual Monday afternoon as school officials worked to ensure that children were on the right buses.
By Monday evening, the district had received about 2,175 calls from parents. McCoy said those calls included questions, concerns and compliments.
"Compared to last year, that is a vast improvement," she said. "In different regions of the county, we have had concerns. We are just as concerned as parents are about those areas."
Monday also marked the opening of the new Rolesville High School. The four-story, $75 million school welcomed ninth- and 10th-graders this year, but it will eventually accommodate more than 2,000 students in grades 9-12.

The government on May 10 revised upward the growth rate of the nation's gross domestic product for the January-March period. Previously it reported that the economy grow 0.9 percent or an annualized 3.5 percent in real terms from the previous quarter. It now says that the economy grew 1.0 percent or an annualized 4.1 percent.
Thus the government claims that the real economy is improving thanks to the Abe administration's economic policy, which centers on massive monetary easing by the Bank of Japan.
But people should not be duped by the government's public relations efforts. The dark side of Abenomics is raising its head. Stock prices have started to show erratic fluctuations. Institutional investors have made profits, but ordinary citizens are in no position to benefit from the stock market.
The fairly cheap yen, compared with the level prevailing during the days of the Democratic Party of Japan government, has helped improve the performance of export-oriented businesses. But the price rises of imported fuel and raw materials are translating into high electricity charges and high prices for food items. The government should give priority to stabilizing people's lives and should flexibly cope with volatile economic conditions.
On May 23, the Nikkei Stock Average in the Tokyo Stock Exchange dropped more than ¥1,100, as hedge funds sold a large amount of Japanese stocks because of a view that the United States will pull back on its monetary easing.
The "third arrow" of the Abe administration's growth strategy also has disappointed the market. The Nikkei index dropped more than ¥843 on Thursday to come down to a level prevailing before the BOJ's massive monetary easing.
Fluctuation in the foreign exchange market is great. The yen which had weakened to more than ¥100 against the dollar strengthened to a level slightly lower than ¥94 at one point Thursday. The fluctuation means that the market players' trust in the Abe administration's economic policy is fluctuating.
The Bank of Japan led by Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda had hoped that its massive monetary easing would lead to a fall of long-term interest rates. On the contrary, interest rates have gone up. The resultant effect is an upward trend in interest rates for housing loans and loans for businesses. Mr. Kuroda apparently failed to accurately predict the movement in the national bond market.
The government and the BOJ must pay serious attention to the real economic conditions people are facing. The nation's 10 major power companies and four major city gas companies will raise their rates in July for the fourth straight month because the prices of imported liquefied natural gas and crude oil have risen. Prices of food items such as ham and sausage are also rising.
There is no prospect that workers' wages will rise. The Abe administration's policy to achieve a 2 percent inflation in two years is likely to result in price rises without wage increases, and could even create economic bubbles.
Mr. Abe and other government officials should be aware that their economic policy could wreak financial havoc on many households, which in turn would stall domestic recovery. They should take steps that will create jobs and boost wages.

TUCKER — Relatives of a metro Atlanta woman say they believe her clothes caught on fire after she fell asleep in her favorite recliner and then died after the blaze spread throughout her home.
They tell WSB-TV (http://bit.ly/VHrQg1) that they suspect a cigarette or candle started the fire, and 63-year-old Ruby Jo Eskew was unable to stop the fire.
DeKalb fire Deputy Chief Norman Augustin said the home in Tucker was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived, shortly after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Firefighters were able to pull Eskew from the home, but she died as paramedics brought her to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. Fire officials say they were still working to determine the cause of the blaze.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will be focusing this week on blocking the Environmental Protection Agency from its plans to implement a 'backdoor' Cap and Trade tax. The EPA under direction from the Obama Administration regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, is trying to force through tougher carbon emission standards which will amount to higher fees and taxes on small business. McConnell is adding an amendment to the Small Business Reauthorization Act, coordinating with the House Energy Tax Prevention Act from Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI). Upton′s bill would prohibit the EPA from using the Clean Air Act to regulate so-called 'greenhouse gases', most notably, carbon dioxide. As we, who actually read a science book now and then, know, carbon dioxide is hardly a 'greenhouse gas', as the vast majority of its sources are biological. Every time you exhale, you emit CO2. The Number One source of CO2 is, in fact, termites, who, pound-for-pound, represent the single largest mass of life on Earth.
Democrats, who want to regulate and tax every aspect of our lives, are attempting to oppose McConnell's amendment in the Senate. Leading the effort is Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV). In the House, there seems little doubt that the GOP will pass Upton′s bill. But to stop the EPA cold in its tracks would require a victory in the Senate. While Democrats do still hold a slim majority in the Senate, 23 of them will be up for reelection in 2012. If the EPA is allowed to move forward with its plans, the end result will be less job creation, if not an outright net job loss!
Rockefeller′s own bill on the matter would 'delay' the EPA, but would not stop those regulations already enacted. His bill is essentially political 'cover' for Democrats to hide behind. One major flaw in Rockefeller′s proposal completing ignores the EPA′s National Air Ambient Quality standards. Some economists have calculated that this regulation alone would cost American industry some $1 Trillion dollars per year and could result in a loss of up to 7 Million jobs! Rockefeller′s bill also does not prevent the EPA from adding additional carbon standards to vehicle emissions, nor prevents the EPA from sitting on applications for new construction permits.
Sen. Mitch McConnell needs our support to get his amendment to the Small Business Reauthorization Act passed. This will block the Environmental Protection Agency from any further regulations that would 'backdoor' a Cap and Trade Tax on carbon dioxide emissions. The EPA is moving quickly on its plans to expand its power grab. If they succeed, it will mean higher prices for gasoline, as well as other consumer items, and cost our economy $1 Trillion dollars and as many as 7 Million jobs. Are not the White House and Democrats suppose to be working to create jobs? Apparently not! Please contact your U.S. senators and Congressmen and demand that they support the McConnell amendment!

Judicial Watch recently received documents from the Department of Justice that confirmed our suspicions: the DOJ has been working hand-in-hand with the radical leftist American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in mounting their respective legal challenges to the Arizona's get-tough anti-illegal immigration law SB 1070.
These documents, obtained through a June 17, 2010, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, include email exchanges between DOJ officials and ACLU staff. And I think when you read them for yourself you'll see how difficult it is to tell where the ACLU ends and the DOJ begins.
For example, check out this July 27, 2010, email exchange between Lucas Guttentag, leader of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project and the DOJ's Deputy Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler:
2:15 pm: Ed
I left a voicemail earlier today about checking in once the district court rules. Would you be available then?
[Redacted statement] And from all of us, thank you again for your argument on behalf of the United States.
2:40 pm: Thanks Lucas. We should definitely check in once we hear. We'll be huddling here as soon as we can. What is your thinking at this point on if/how you will proceed in various possible scenarios?
It was good to see you, even if only briefly, and to be on the same side for once! [Redacted statement] I have a feeling we might be seeing each other again on this case.
6:14 pm: Thanks Ed. Yes, a real pleasure to be on the same side.
I think we will be strongly inclined to seek an immediate emergency injunction from the 9th Circuit…
Can you share your current thinking with regard to the various scenarios?
Best Lucas
I am sure you share my concerns about the nation's highest law enforcement agency being "on the same side" as the ACLU.
The documents also include email exchanges between ACLU staff and Joshua Wilkenfeld, the Assistant U.S. Attorney who signed the government's pleadings in the lawsuit, in which they exchanged hearing transcripts and established opportunities to discuss the case. For example, the documents included this July 16, 2010, email from Guttentag to Wilkenfeld:
…Yes, look forward to talking. I'm getting a fuller briefing on yesterday's hearing later this morning (Calif. time) and then I am tied up for a short while. Would it work for you to talk at about 4.00 or 4.30p Eastern? If it's okay with you, I'd like to include two colleagues. By the way, we tried to order a transcript yesterday but understand the US Attorney's office already did. Can we get a copy directly from you when it's available?
All best,
Wilkenfeld sent the transcript later that day.
Although we did not know for certain that the Obama DOJ and the ACLU were in cahoots over this legal assault until we got our hands on these documents, there was reason for suspicion. After all, a draft of the lawsuit filed by the DOJ on July 6, 2010, against SB 1070 was described by Congressman Peter King (R-NY) as a "cut and paste" version of a class action lawsuit filed by the ACLU weeks earlier on May 17, 2010.
But while it is one thing to share the ACLU's disrespect for the rule of law, it is quite another to collude with the organization on a litigation strategy against the State of Arizona.
The Obama DOJ is supposed to be an independent, nonpartisan law enforcement agency. I'm sure many Americans will be disturbed, though maybe not surprised, to find that Attorney General Eric Holder's team is colluding with one of the most leftist organizations in the nation. We know whose "side" this Justice Department is on when it comes to the enforcement of our immigration laws.
Judicial Watch represents Arizona State Senator (and now State Senate President) Russell Pearce in the Obama administration's lawsuit challenging the Arizona law. State Senator Pearce was also our guest for an educational panel on illegal immigration that we held at the National Press Club on December 8, 2010. You may want to check out our video of the panel as we discussed in-depth a number of issues relevant to the Obama administration's lawsuit.

Garrett Hedlund Looks Sexy, Catches A Flight With Kirsten Dunst [PHOTOS]
The sexy actor was spotted at the Toronto Airport catching a flight back home after a successful visit to the Toronto International Film Festival. Garrett was joined at the airport by girlfriend Kirsten Dunst who looked like she didn't want anybody to bother her. Also, I love her coat.
Garrett looked cool and casual in a white tee and black pants. He's really into those baseball caps, isn't he? Thank goodness he doesn't wear them on the red carpet. Not that we'd mind. I just like seeing him. So how was Garrett and Kirsten's time in Toronto?
Quite lovely indeed. The duo were there for the premiere of their latest movie, On The Road. They both looked amazing on the red carpet. Really though, do we expect anything less of them? Nope. Not at all.
I can't wait to see what else Garrett and Kirsten work on together. They're rather adorable–as evidenced by these airport pictures–and the world totally needs to see them do a romantic comedy. Actually, Garrett has never done a comedy. I smell box office gold!!!
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos and tell us what roles you think the duo should play in the comments.

[caption id="attachment_8663" align="alignright" width="261"] Army Pfc. Roosevelt "Jack" Clark's Yearbook Photo[/caption]
Four volunteers reported for duty hours before dawn this morning at Los Angeles International Airport's Bob Hope Hollywood USO to greet the remains of a fallen soldier.
As the flag-draped coffin containing the remains of Army Pfc. Roosevelt "Jack" Clark slowly rolled from the rear of the plane, his family could hardly contain their joy to finally bring him home.
It's not that they're happy he died. His family's grief has lasted nearly 62 years. Clark was first reported missing-in-action while fighting with the 35th Infantry Regiment in North Korea in 1950. He was just 18.
His remains were recently identified among 208 boxes of human remains turned over to the United States by North Korea in the early 1990s. It was determined that he had died just three days before he was reported missing, when his position was overwhelmed by elements of the Chinese People's Volunteer Forces.
"A dignified transfer is usually a very somber event," said Bob Kurkjian, executive director of USO Greater Los Angeles Area. "We are always there to support families of the fallen, but this time was different."
The USO is committed to supporting families of the fallen through our centers and partnerships with airport and service honor guards, as well as organizations such as the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). USO staff and volunteers provide comfort for family members along the journey to the final resting place of the service member.
"This was the celebration of a soldier's return home," added Kurkjian. "We helped bring his family the closure they haven't had for decades."
Two of Clark's cousins and his great-niece were there — alongside USO volunteers, airport police and firefighters — to welcome Clark's remains.
"It's a closure for us," his cousin, Rennie Hunter, told KABC-TV. The hardest part about having a family member go missing, she said, is that "you just never know what had happened or if they will ever come back home."
Clark grew up close to his cousins in rural Arvin, located just southeast of Bakersfield, Calif., and though it was his mother's lifelong dream for Clark to return home, neither of his parents lived to see it.
Clark's remains will be buried Friday in Bakersfield, KTLA-TV reported.
Questions about the USO's support for families of the fallen can be directed to Wendy Fish, Families of the Fallen Support program manager, at email@example.com. - Joseph Andrew Lee, USO Staff Writer

Mark Tumilty was all smiles after watching his Banbridge side secure a massive three points in their bid to lift the Ulster Premiership for the first time.
But Annadale did not role over, they made Bann work hard for the points and in fact they could so easily have got something from the game.
"This was a huge three points for us," said Tumilty. "We set out to win six points over the last two weeks and we have got them and when you look at it from that point of view I am delighted, but from a performance point of view, I am not. There is work to be done.
"It was a poor game, as it was difficult to play against them . We were moving the ball about very well at times, especially in the first half. But then the bad habits began to creep in.
"I just thought we lacked maturity today, we went 2-0 up and we got to the stage that we thought whenever we got the ball, that we would score and that has been a problem with the group.
"There is no question about the ability of the squad, we just need to get ourselves in the right frame of mind and some of the traits that I thought we had got rid of were back. But this is a huge three points for us."
Bann had a dream start after Stephen Dowds dispatched a penalty stroke home, after only eight minutes on the clock.
And two minutes later, Johnny McKee, making his premiership debut for Bann, had been on the pitch only 64 seconds, when he notched up his first goal.
Annadale simply had no answer to the Bann side, who were moving the ball about with ease and Gareth Lennox in the Bann goal was a mere spectator, as anything that Dale could muster, was snuffed out comfortably by the Bann back three.
However, Lennox may have had it easy in the first half but this was more than made up for in the second, as Annadale were like a different team as they took the game to Bann.
Seven minutes after the restart, Andy Williamson burst through the Bann defence with ease, to force Lennox into making his first real save of the game.
And on 44 minutes Michael Robson glided along the right wing to smash in a cross which was met by Williamson and he guided the ball into the net.
Bann were now sitting back and letting Dale call the shots and it looked only a matter of time before the hosts would be back on level terms but somehow Bann held on to their slender lead to secure all the points.
Annadale co-coach, Chris McCandless was delighted with his side's performance.
"I thought we were poor in the first half, as we made basic errors. We had no shape and we were giving them far too much space," said McCandless.
"But I was delighted with the second half performance, we had a very good team on the back foot in the second half, I think we were unlucky not to get something out of the game based on our performance. It just shows what we are trying to do is working and we are getting there."

Indy Duffy may have 2nd top NBA draft pick
Published April 29, 2002
Jason Williams picked Bill Duffy.
Independent agent Bill Duffy scored a coup last week when he signed projected top NBA draft pick Jason Williams, beating out heavyweight agents David Falk and Michael Ovitz.
Williams, a former Duke guard who is projected to be the No. 2 pick in the June draft, and his family interviewed Duffy, Ovitz, Falk and prominent basketball agent Lon Babby before making their decision.
All of the agents provided extensive presentations on how they planned to represent Williams, both in contract negotiations and in marketing, said Paul Haagen, a professor at the Duke University School of Law who acts for the university as an adviser during the agent selection process.
The four agents said they viewed Williams as one of the most marketable players to enter the NBA draft in the last several years, Haagen said.
"The notion of branding is something that is very much part of these discussions now," Haagen said. "I think the notion is [Williams] combines the sense of responsibility — he has a degree and comes from an intact family — and he has a tough, aggressive, explosive, exciting game."
The Williamses chose Duffy even though he is considered the front-runner to represent Yao Ming, the 7-foot-6 Chinese center who is expected to be the No. 1 pick, Haagen said. Some athletes historically have preferred not to be represented by an agent who may work for another player competing for a top slot in the draft.
Yao is expected to pick an agent in June. Duffy has developed a relationship with the player over the last few years.
"We discussed Yao Ming," Haagen said. "It certainly came up as an issue."

Search for climbers called off in Nepal
Nepalese rescuers have called off a search for three climbers who have been missing since a huge avalanche that killed eight mountaineers at the weekend.
Local police say the two French mountaineers and a Canadian are now presumed dead.
The missing were part of a group of climbers sleeping near the top of the 8,156-metre Manaslu when it was hit by a wall of snow on Saturday night.
The French embassy is considering continuing its own search.
Hundreds of foreign climbers flock every year to Himalayan peaks in Nepal, which has eight of the world's 14 highest mountains, including Mount Everest.
September marks the beginning of the autumn climbing season which runs through November.
In the last major accident in the area, at least 42 people including 17 foreigners, were killed in heavy snowfall in the Mount Everest region in 1995.

8.9 Quake Triggers Tsunami Across Pacific Ocean
Japan's northeastern coast was slammed by a strong earthquake and tsunami Friday. It appears most of the damage was caused not by the ground-shaking but by the tsunami it generated.
The 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck off Japan was on par with the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Chile around this time last year, but NPR's Richard Harris tells Renee Montagne that "a quake of this size can be devastating, or it doesn't necessarily have to be," because infrastructure preparations can mitigate some of the damage. So "the ground shaking is not necessarily the biggest issue," Harris says.
Harris says that looking at maps of the ground shaking, it's evident that there was shaking over a very large area of Japan, "but most of the shaking was moderate — it didn't hit the severe, violent marks that mark really devastating earthquakes from ground shaking."
An offshore epicenter like Friday's massive earthquake, which was centered around 80 miles east of the Japanese city of Sendai, raises the potential for generating underwater landslides or big waves that can propagate over thousands of miles of ocean.
Video reports from Japan have showed that water has washed ashore there, causing significant damage. And though much of Japan has been built to withstand strong earthquakes and tsunamis, Harris says that when the quake is so close to land, there's very little time to react.
Across the ocean, there's more time to prepare for a big wave, and buoys located in the Pacific have seen the wave spreading, measuring a rise of about three feet in some places. That may not seem like much of a problem in the ocean, but when the wave approaches land, it can rapidly become much larger, Harris says.
"A three foot wave in the ocean right now is a big, big concern, particularly for low-lying islands," Harris says. "So if you're looking across the south Pacific, all of those islands are potentially in Jeopardy."
The tsunami that raced its way through the Indian Ocean in 2004 had a death toll in the hundreds of thousands, as there was incredibly dense populations near the shoreline. "The population at risk is much smaller in the Pacific Ocean than it was throughout the Indian Ocean," Harris says, so "this could be very devastating to people in the Pacific Islands, but probably we're not going to be looking at numbers of that magnitude."

HMD and Character Permissions
So, how's my Ryou? Is he adorable enough for you? Is he too adorable? Give comments down below~
Anon is on~
Comment Screening is also on~
OOC Permissions
Back-tagging: It's okay by me!
Reviving logs: So long as it's not months or years old,
Fourth-walling: Just as long as you don't tell them that they're fictional characters, or revealing major plotpoints/spoilers to them, I guess it's okay.
Dropping tags: It happens. If it's something you really want to keep going, I won't have any hard feelings. Just realize that I do have a life outside of RPing, and I will forget things every now and then.
Characterization critique: All of my characters do HMD posts, so there's that! Just remember to be constructive in your criticisms. 'You suck and your character sucks' is not an acceptable form of criticism.
Writing critique: I'm a writing major, so I can take any sort of writing criticism that you can throw at me. Just please, be respectable in your criticism. 'You suck and your writing sucks' is not an acceptable form of criticism.
OOC critique: Just tell me if I'm crossing the line somewhere. It's totally okay to tell me when I'm being a bitch; I won't get mad at you.
Friendship! Uhh… sure? Just message me here on DW or through my personal email. Just know that I am shy at times.
RP Only: Only want an RP-related only relationship? That's totally okay too.
Don't tag me! Okay. Just say that you don't want me to tag back. You don't even have to explain your reasoning. Just try not to be abrupt and cutting me off indefinitely. I get sad. :(
Tag me back already! So long as you aren't being overly insistent, I guess this is okay. Just remember that I do get busy with RL and I can't be able to answer every single tag and message that I get, no matter how much I want to get to them.

He's a character from Yu-Gi-oh! Of course he loves friendship!
Out of game: Go ahead!
In game: It might be a little more awkward, but otherwise it's okay.
Out of Game: Sure, I guess?
In Game: Might be in awkward city with that one. I guess it depends how close they are.
Out of Game: Awkward City.
In Game: Even more of Awkward City
Out of Game: Okay by me
In Game: If they've known each other for a long time and they've grown close in their relationship
Out of Game: Okay by Me
In Game: Only if their relationship is really, really close and they've been dating for quite some time.
Ask me first.
Ask me first.
Mind Control:
Ask me first
Acceptable Canon Pairings:
I'm okay with most pairings with Ryou, especially the crack ones. Characters such as Yami Bakura, Thief King, Kaiba, Atem, Yuugi, Jounouchi, Honda, Anzu, and others are strongly encouraged. I'm kind of iffy on Yami Malik/Marik (aka Deathshipping), though. Het and Yaoi are totally both acceptable. Crossovers and Cross-Series is also acceptable.
