A small but interesting band of pioneers join the August Passing of the Pioneers.
Stephen Rowan ROBERTSON – Died August 19 1900 at Portland. Stephen Rowan Robertson was a she not a he, a sister of John G. Robertson, owner of Wando Vale station. Stephen arrived in Victoria in 1842 around the age of 34 and in 1846 she married William Corney who took up the lease of Wando Vale. After some time back in England, William and Stephen made their home at South Portland. One of the stained glass windows at St Stephen's Church , Portland was dedicated to William Corney (below) by his son Robert.
Peter MacKINNON – Died August 5, 1902 at Hamilton. Peter MacKinnon was born in Sterlingshire, Scotland around 1825 and arrived in Victoria around 1852. His first job in the colony was at Coleraine as a bookkeeper and then later at Hamilton as a bookkeeper for the timber yard of Mr Collins in Gray Street. He then worked for many years at the Hamilton Spectator as a machinist. In his later years he returned to bookkeeping with the Collins timber yard.
Thomas REES – Died August 7 at Hamilton. This one of the first obituaries I have posted from the Hamilton Spectator and it has one of the best openings to an obituary (only a genealogist could/would say that). The reference to the early colonist encapsulates the spirit of the monthly Passing of the Pioneer posts.
Basil McConochie LYON – Died August 7, 1916 at Coleraine. Basil Lyon was born in Glasgow, Scotland around 1850. When he arrived in Victoria he went to the Konongwootong Creek Estate the property of his maternal uncle. John McConochie. He later took up land with his brother at Balmoral. Basil was a member of the Kowree Shire Council for several years and was also a Justice of the Peace. He was a founding member of the Coleraine branch of the Australian People's Party.
Arthur BALLMENT – Died August 26, 1916 at Perth, Western Australia. Arthur Ballment was from Plymouth, England where his father Hugh was a well known shipbuilder and merchant Arthur left England in 1865 aboard the "Roxburgh Castle" to Melbourne aged 21. He gave New Zealand a try before returning to Victoria and Ararat where he ran a tannery business. He had a strong interest in politics, at a local level while in Ararat and upon retirement to Western Australia, 13 years before his death, he followed both Australian and British politics. Arthur was described as a "typical Englishman". One of Arthur's sisters married British political cartoonist, Sir Francis Carruthers Gould, while his daughter Marion was a Western Australian based artist of some note.
William ROBERTSON – Died August 6, 1918 at East Melbourne. William Robertson, a son of Duncan Robertson and Ann Fraser, was born in New South Wales in 1839 and went to the Western District with his family aged four. Duncan took up "Straun" He later moved to "Gringegalgona" where William remained, unmarried, for the rest of his life. William was keen on horse racing and over a forty year period his horses won the Casterton Cup on two occasions, the Warrnambool Cup and the Great Western Steeple. His trainer was James Agnew, also a Passing Pioneer this month (below).
Bridget HASSETT – Died August 14, 1919 at Dundindin, Western Australia
Bridget Hassett and Patrick Mullan raised a family of 13 children, five of whom were still living at the time of her death, as was Patrick then aged 90.
Letitia BEST – Died August 7, 1941 at Melbourne. Born around 1848 in County Caven, Ireland, Letitia Best arrived at Portland in 1856 aboard the "General Hewitt" with her parents William and Letitia Best and six siblings (NB: the date of arrival in Letita's obituary is 1853). The family settled at Heywood where Letitia later married Donald Rankin. Donald and Letitia spent some years at Harrow before moving to Western Australia for 30 years. When Donald passed away, Letitia returned to Victoria.
James AGNEW – Died August 10, 1942 at Hamilton. James Agnew was born at Cowie's Creek near Geelong around 1857 and as a boy moved with his parents to the Wimmera. In his teen years, James moved to the NSW Riverina working at Yanco Station where his career with horses began. A meeting with the trainer of Carbine, Walter Hickenbotham spurred him on to become a racehorse trainer.
James eventually settled in Hamilton as a trainer and took on horses for owners such as George Robertson (above) and John Kirby. The racing career of Kirby's horse The Parisian was all but over when he arrived with Agnew with the horse failing over short distances . James saw the staying potential in the horse and trained him accordingly. As a result he won the Warrnambool and Hamilton Cups. Kirby then too saw The Parisian's potential to win a Melbourne Cup and moved the horse to a Melbourne trainer, thus robbing James Agnew of a chance to win a Melbourne Cup, as The Parisian saluted in 1911. If it wasn't for James Agnew, James Kirby is unlikely to have held the Melbourne Cup in 1911.
Charles BRADSHAW – Died August 13, 1944 at Portland. Charles Bradshaw lived his entire 89 years at Portland, the son of William Bradshaw, operator of a wool washing business. Charles worked in several industries including bone crushing, tomato growing and like his father, wool washing. He married local girl Eileen Robins and they raised two sons and two daughters.

Abstract: The proposed distributed converging overland flow model is utilized to predict surface runoff from three natural agricultural watersheds. The Lax-Wendroff scheme is used to obtain numerical solutions. For determination of the kinematic wave friction relationship parameter a simple relation between the parameter and topographic slope is hypothesized. The simple relation contains two constants which are optimized for each watershed by the Rosenbrock-Palmer optimization algorithm. The model results are in good agreement with runoff observations from these watersheds. It is shown that if the model structure is sound, it will suffice to optimize model parameters on hydrograph peak only even for prediction of the entire hydrograph. The model results suggest that a distributed approach to kinematic wave modeling of watershed surface runoff is potentially promising and warrants further investigation.

Abstract: In models for overland flow based on kinematic wave theory the friction parameter is assumed to be constant. This paper studies a converging geometry and allows continuous spatial variability in the parameter. Parameter variability results in a completely distributed approach, reduces the need to use a complex network model to simulate watershed surface runoff, and saves much computational time and effort. This paper is the first in a series of three. It develops analytical solutions for a converging geometry with no infiltration and temporally constant lateral inflow. Part 2 discusses the effect of infiltration on the runoff process, and part 3 discusses application of the proposed model to natural agricultural watersheds.

Abstract: The overland flow on an infiltrating converging surface is studied. Mathematical solutions are developed to study the effect of infiltration on nonlinear overland flow dynamics. To develop mathematical solutions, infiltration and rainfall are represented by simple time and space in variant functions. For complex rainfall and infiltration functions, explicit solutions are not feasible.

Abstract: The kinematic model for surface irrigation, reported previously by Sherman and Singh (1978), is extended. Depending upon the duration of irrigation and time variability of infiltration, three cases are distinguished. Explicit solutions are obtained when infiltration is constant. When infiltration is varying in time, a numerical procedure is developed which is stable and has fast convergence. A rigorous theoretical justification is developed for computation of the depth of water at and the time history of the front wall of water advancing down an infiltrating plane or channel. A derivation is given of the continuity and momentum equations when there is lateral inflow and infiltration into the channel bed.

Abstract: A kinematic model for surface irrigation is verified by experimental data obtained for 31 borders. These borders are of varied characteristics. Calculated values of advance times, water surface profiles when water reaches the end of the border, and recession times are compared with their observations. The prediction error in most cases remains below 20% for the advance time and below 15% for the recession time. The water surface profiles computed by the model agree with observed profiles reasonably well. For the data analyzed here the kinematic wave model is found to be sufficiently accurate for modeling the entire irrigation cycle except for the vertical recession.

Abstract: The principle of maximum entropy was applied to derive a stochastic model for sediment yield from upland watersheds. By maximizing the conditional entropy subject to certain constraints, a probability distribution of sediment yield conditioned on the probability distribution of direct runoff volume was obtained. This distribution resulted in minimally prejudiced assignment of probabilities on the basis of given information. The parameters of this distribution were determined from such prior information about the direct runoff volume and sediment yield as their means and covariance. The stochastic model was verified by using three sets of field data and was compared with a bivariate normal distribution. The model yielded sediment yield reasonably accurately.

Abstract: Under the assumption that the only information available on a drainage basin is its mean elevation, the connection between entropy and potential energy is explored to analyze drainage basins morphological characteristics. The mean basin elevation is found to be linearly related to the entropy of the drainage basin. This relation leads to a linear relation between the mean elevation of a subnetwork and the logarithm of its topological diameter. Furthermore, the relation between the fall in elevation from the source to the outlet of the main channel and the entropy of its drainage basin is found to be linear and so is also the case between the elevation of a node and the logarithm of its distance from the source. When a drainage basin is ordered according to the Horton-Strahler ordering scheme, a linear relation is found between the drainage basin entropy and the basin order. This relation can be characterized as a measure of the basin network complexity. The basin entropy is found to be linearly related to the logarithm of the magnitude of the basin network. This relation leads to a nonlinear relation between the network diameter and magnitude, where the exponent is found to be related to the fractal dimension of the drainage network. Also, the exponent of the power law relating the channel slope to the network magnitude is found to be related to the fractal dimension of the network. These relationships are verified on three drainage basins in southern Italy, and the results are found to be promising.

Abstract: The movement of water in a large (3.5 m3) undisturbed sample of 22-year-old municipal solid waste has been modeled using a kinematic wave approximation for unsaturated infiltration and internal drainage. The model employs a two-parameter power expression as macroscopic flux law. The model parameters were determined and interpreted in terms of the internal geometry of the waste medium by fitting the model to one set of infiltration and drainage data. The model was validated using another set of data from a sequence of water input events. The results of the validation show that the model performs satisfactorily, but further development of the model to incorporate spatial variability would increase its capability.

Abstract: The transport of a conservative tracer (lithium) in a large (3.5 m3) undisturbed municipal solid waste sample has been investigated under steady and fully transient conditions using a simple model. The model comprises a kinematic wave approximation for water movement, presented in a previous paper, and a strict convective solute flux law. The waste medium is conceptualized as a three-domain system consisting of a mobile domain (channels), an immobile fast domain, and an immobile slow domain. The mobile domain constitutes only a minor fraction of the medium, and the access to the major part of medium is constrained by diffusive transport. Thus the system is in a state of physical nonequilibrium. The fast immobile domain is the part of the matrix which surrounds the channels and forms the boundary between the channels and the matrix. Owing to its exposure to mobile water, which enhances the biodegradation process, this domain is assumed to be more porous and loose in its structure and therefore to respond faster to a change in solute concentration in the mobile domain compared to the regions deep inside the matrix. The diffusive mass exchange between the domains is modeled with two first-order mass transfer expressions coupled in series. Under transient conditions the system will also be in a state of hydraulic nonequilibrium. Hydraulic gradients build up between the channel domain and the matrix in response to the water input events. The gradients will govern a reversible flow and convective transport between the domains, here represented as a source/sink term in the governing equation. The model has been used to interpret and compare the results from a steady state experiment and an unsteady state experiment. By solely adjusting the size of the fraction of the immobile fast domain that is active in transferring solute, the model is capable of accurately reproducing the measured outflow breakthrough curves for both the steady and unsteady state experiments. During transient conditions the fraction of the immobile fast domain that is active in transferring solute is found to be about 65% larger than that under steady state conditions. It is therefore concluded that the water input pattern governs the size of the fraction of the immobile fast domain which, in turn, governs the solute residence time in the solid waste. It can be concluded that the contaminant transport process in landfills is likely to be in a state of both physical, hydraulic, and chemical nonequilibrium. The transport process for a conservative solute is here shown to be dominated by convective transport in the channels and a fast diffusive mass exchange with the surrounding matrix. This may imply that the observed leachate quality from landfills mainly reflects the biochemical conditions in these regions. The water input pattern is of great importance for the transport process since it governs the size of the fraction of the immobile fast domain which is active in transferring solute. This may be the reason for leachate quality to be seasonally or water flux dependent, which has been observed in several investigations. The result also has a significant practical implication for efforts to enhance the biodegradation process in landfills by recycling of the leachate.

Singh, Vijay P.; Yang, Chih Ted; Deng, Z. Q. (American Geophysical Union, December 4, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: In this study, it is hypothesized that (1) the spatial variation of the stream power of a channel for a given discharge is accomplished by the spatial variation in channel form (flow depth and channel width) and hydraulic variables, including energy slope, flow velocity, and friction, and (2) that the change in stream power is distributed among the changes in flow depth, channel width, flow velocity, slope, and friction, depending on the constraints (boundary conditions) the channel has to satisfy. The second hypothesis is a result of the principles of maximum entropy and minimum energy dissipation or its simplified minimum stream power. These two hypotheses lead to four families of downstream hydraulic geometry relations. The conditions under which these families of relations can occur in field are discussed.

Abstract: Using 456 data sets under bank-full conditions obtained from various sources, the geometric relations, derived in part 1 [ Singh et al., 2003 ], are calibrated and verified using the split sampling approach. The calibration of parameters shows that the change in stream power is not shared equally among hydraulic variables and that the unevenness depends on the boundary conditions to be satisfied by the channel under consideration. The agreement between the observed values of the hydraulic variables and those predicted by the derived relations is close for the verification data set and lends credence to the hypotheses employed in this study.

Abstract: Using the kinematic-wave overland flow equation and a fractional dispersion-advection equation, a process-oriented, physically-based model is developed for overland solute transport. Two scenarios, one consisting of downslope and the other of upslope rainstorm movements, are considered for numerical computations. Under these conditions, the hydrograph displays a long-tailed distribution due to the variation in flow velocity in both time and distance. The solute transport exhibits a complex behavior. Pollutographs are characterized by a steep rising limb, with a peak, and a long, stretched receding limb; whereas the solute concentration distributions feature a rapid receding limb followed by a long stretched rising limb. Downslope moving storms cause much higher peak in both hydrographs and pollutographs than do upslope moving storms. Both hydrographs and the pollutographs predicted by the fractional dispersion model are in good agreement with the data measured experimentally using a soil flume and a moving rainfall simulator.

Abstract: A mathematical model, based on the kinematic wave (KW) theory, is developed for describing the evolution and movement of bed profiles in alluvial channels. The model employs a functional relation between sediment transport rate and concentration, a relation between flow velocity and depth and Velikanov's formula relating suspended sediment concentration to flow variables. Laboratory flume and field data are used to test the model. Transient bed profiles in alluvial channels are also simulated for several hypothetical cases involving different water flow and sediment concentration characteristics. The model‐simulated bed profiles are found to be in good agreement with what is observed in the laboratory, and they seem theoretically reasonable for hypothetical cases. The model results reveal that the mean particle velocity and maximum concentration (maximum bed form elevation) strongly affect transient bed profiles.

Abstract: Water quality evaluation entails both randomness and fuzziness. Two hybrid models are developed, based on the principle of maximum entropy (POME) and engineering fuzzy set theory (EFST). Generalized weighted distances are defined for considering both randomness and fuzziness. The models are applied to 12 lakes and reservoirs in China, and their eutrophic level is determined. The results show that the proposed models are effective tools for generating a set of realistic and flexible optimal solutions for complicated water quality evaluation issues. In addition, the proposed models are flexible and adaptable for diagnosing the eutrophic status.

Kinematic wave model for transient bed profiles in alluvial channels under nonequilibrium conditionsTayfur, Gokmen; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, December 27, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: Transient bed profiles in alluvial channels are generally modeled using diffusion (or dynamic) waves and assuming equilibrium between detachment and deposition rates. Equilibrium sediment transport can be considerably affected by an excess (or deficiency) of sediment supply due to mostly flows during flash floods or floods resulting from dam break or dike failure. In such situations the sediment transport process occurs under nonequilibrium conditions, and extensive changes in alluvial river morphology can take place over a relatively short period of time. Therefore the study and prediction of these changes are important for sustainable development and use of river water. This study hence developed a mathematical model based on the kinematic wave theory to model transient bed profiles in alluvial channels under nonequilibrium conditions. The kinematic wave theory employs a functional relation between sediment transport rate and concentration, the shear-stress approach for flow transport capacity, and a relation between flow velocity and depth. The model satisfactorily simulated transient bed forms observed in laboratory experiments.

Granulometric characterization of sediments transported by surface runoff generated by moving stormsde Lima, J. L. M. P.; Souza, C. C. S.; Singh, V. P. (Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union and the American Geophysical Union, December 16, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: Due to the combined effect of wind and rain, the importance of storm movement to surface flow has long been recognized, at scales ranging from headwater scales to large basins. This study presents the results of laboratory experiments designed to investigate the influence of moving rainfall storms on the dynamics of sediment transport by surface runoff. Experiments were carried out, using a rain simulator and a soil flume. The movement of rainfall was generated by moving the rain simulator at a constant speed in the upstream and downstream directions along the flume. The main objective of the study was to characterize, in laboratory conditions, the distribution of sediment grain-size transported by rainfall-induced overland flow and its temporal evolution. Grain-size distribution of the eroded material is governed by the capacity of flow that transports sediments. Granulometric curves were constructed using conventional hand sieving and a laser diffraction particle size analyser (material below 0.250 mm) for overland flow and sediment deliveries collected at the flume outlet. Surface slope was set at 2%, 7% and 14%. Rainstorms were moved with a constant speed, upslope and downslope, along the flume or were kept static. The results of laboratory experiments show that storm movement, affecting the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall, has a marked influence on the grain-size characteristics of sediments transported by overland flow. The downstream-moving rainfall storms have higher stream power than do other storm types.

Quantifying the effect of land use and land cover changes on green water and blue water in northern part of ChinaLiu, X.; Ren, L.; Yuan, F.; Singh, V. P.; Fang, X.; Yu, Z.; Zhang, W. (Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, June 12, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) have been occurring at an accelerated pace in northern parts of China. These changes are significantly impacting the hydrology of these parts, such as Laohahe Catchment. The hydrological effects of these changes occurring in this catchment were investigated using a semi-distributed hydrological model. The semi-distributed hydrological model was coupled with a two-source potential evaportranspiration (PET) model for simulating daily runoff. Model parameters were calibrated using hydrometeorological and LULC data for the same period. The LULC data were available for 1980, 1989, 1996 and 1999. Daily streamflow measurements were available from 1964 to 2005 and were divided into 4 periods: 1964–1979, 1980–1989, 1990–1999 and 2000–2005. These periods represented four different LULC scenarios. Streamflow simulation was conducted for each period under these four LULC scenarios. The results showed that the change in LULC influenced evapotranspiration (ET) and runoff. The LULC data showed that from 1980 to 1996 grass land and water body had decreased and forest land and crop land had increased. This change caused the evaporation from vegetation interception and vegetation transpiration to increase, whereas the soil evaporation tended to decrease. Thus during the period of 1964–1979 the green water or ET increased by 0.95%, but the blue water or runoff decreased by 8.71% in the Laohahe Catchment.

"I'm buying a dog from a breeder because shelter dogs are too much work." "I'm getting my dog from a pet store because shelters don't have puppies." "I don't want a pre-owned dog. It won't love me as much."
Ever heard someone say this totally wrong-headed stuff? We have too, and it we bet it makes you as crazy as it makes us! We know shelter dogs and puppies are awesome—maybe you've got one making your house a home right now—but it seems like not everyone does…yet.
So what can we do about it? Spread the truth about shelter dogs, of course! That's why we created our "Proud Parent of a Shelter Dog" and "I <3 My shelter Dog" tees, totes and more: so advocates for shelter dogs like you can help change minds. Sporting these is the easiest way to lead by example and help get the word out that shelter dogs are the best.
In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month (that's October, folks!), the ASPCA Store is taking 20 percent off all apparel and gifts that promote shelter dog adoption.
Remember: All proceeds from the ASPCA Store are used to help save animals' lives.
Own some of this gear already? Yay, you! Tell us about it in the comments. Oh, and give your shelter dog an extra belly rub today from the ASPCA.
I am having trouble getting this app installed on my timeline, any suggestions? (JoeforHim AndTheAnimals/fb profile)
I have tried to adopt another dog from a shelter but have had much trouble! Because I have another dog and cats.
try tailwaggers911.com
They will allow adoptions with other pets in the home. This rescue find homes for dogs that will get along with other pets in the house. I'm a foster for this group. I have 2 dogs of my own, and 1 foster at the moment.
We adopted our 4th older, shelter dog! We have never had a puppy and love our preowned dogs. Shelter dogs love you almost immediately. They appreciate you and your love. We have preowned and purchased dogs in our neighborhood, we love them just the same.
Adopting a shelter dog today!! I am so excited to get the little guy! He is a puggle and is so precious!

Teaching in Nepal: No Salary But Great Rewards
Thanks in large part to the recent burst of tourism, the Nepalese
Despite the lack of salary, the Nepalese offer the volunteer bountiful rewards.
When I worked as an editor and writer for non-govermental organizations, my Nepalese hosts sent small meals to my desk throughout the day. Apples from the tree outside my office window, peeled and sliced as preferred by "the bideshi" (foreigners), were graciously offered two or three times each morning.
In Kathmandu, a friend asked me to volunteer-teach in his private elementary school. All the lessons were in English, but practice in conversation had been quite limited and the principal was happy to have a native English speaker on the staff. Nepalis are, unfortunately, quite shy about speaking, especially with foreign visitors. The girls and women are apt to fall into bouts of giggling when a foreigner begins to speak.
An early morning outdoor yoga class, temporarily replacing phys ed, was a great way to break the ice and start friendships. During the instruction, the children naturally learned English names for parts of the body. In the afternoons, we played games, such as pat-a-cake and London Bridge, and recited poems. I imitated their teachers' loud, rhythmically repeated sentences, so the children would have continuity in their lessons.
In order that the teachers also benefit from a native English-speaker's presence, we all met in theirlounge each day. They gave me details about the special holiday foods--how they are prepared and the significance of each day's rituals. They also described their lives as professional women for example, how they taught in schools near the homes so they would not have to ride in buses with men who were not of their families.
Though there are many opportunities to volunteer teach in elementary schools, adult learning institutes are another option for foreigners. Adult learning institutes are important in Kathmandu for preparing high school graduates for careers. When adult students were also shy about speaking, I followed the advice of an ESL teacher and I took stacks of family photos to the first few classes. Family life is important in Nepal, and as we looked at the photos our differences began to fall away.
The adult students, like the parents of schoolchildren, were extremely grateful that I was teaching in their school. Other Western teachers report the same warm reception. Some Nepalese even consider teachers to be visiting deities. The students rose when I entered or left the classroom, and were rapt and silent throughout class. Although the classroom was cramped and rather dirty, the students acted with dignity and gratitude; they felt themselves very fortunate to be able to attend schools. And I felt fortunate to have been their teacher, even briefly.
Volunteer teaching opportunities are available for long and short-term. In villages, contact the school itself or a member of the community. Ask the school for information about visa requirements if you are planning a long-term stint, and keep up to date through your embassy and through Nepalese Immigration in Kathmandu. Consult the newspapers for schools listing openings and call them. Also check the volunteer opportunities on bulletin boards.Himalayan Explorers ClubKathmandu

Japan's ANA cancels 787 flights through May 31
The launch carrier for the Dreamliner, ANA said late Sunday that is extending the cancellation of 787 flights through May 31. The airline previously had taken the 787 off flights through the end of March.
Boeing's 787 was grounded by federal authorities Jan. 16, following two mishaps with 787 batteries.
Ray Conner, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, met Friday with the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to propose a fix to return the 787 to commercial service. If the FAA approves of Boeing's solution, the 787 could begin carrying passengers again as early as April.
But airlines like ANA aren't banking on a speedy solution. Last week, United Airlines, the only U.S. carrier to operate 787s, removed the jet from its schedule through June 5. And LOT Polish Airlines is keeping the 787 grounded through October.
The chairman of Japan Airlines, which had seven 787s when the grounding occurred, said he was already considering buying from other jet makers when the FAA took action. JAL's chairman told CNBC that his airline's strategy of an all-Boeing fleet is "abnormal."

Sectarian kidnappings spread strife in north Syria
BEIRUT A rural patch of north Syria has been shaken by a series of tit-for-tat, sectarian kidnappings, anti-regime activists said Saturday, highlighting how much the country's civil war has enflamed tensions between different religious groups.
While all activists agreed that kidnappings had spiked in recent days between armed men in neighboring Shiite and Sunni Muslim villages, reports of the numbers kidnapped by both sides ranged from a few dozen to more than 300.
The kidnappings and the raw feelings they have provoked bode ill for the chances of reconciliation between Syrians, many of whom have come to see the civil war as either a sacred battle to advance their faith or a mortal struggle for the survival of their sect.
Since Syria's crisis began with protests calling for political reforms in March 2011, it has gradually grown more sectarian. Most of the rebels who have taken up arms to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad are from Syria's Sunni majority. Assad himself is an Alawite, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, and has heavily stocked his security forces with fellow Alawites and Shiites.
The rise of Islamic fundamentalists among the rebels makes many among Syria's minorities - including Alawites, Shiites, Christians, Armenians and others - fear that a rebel victory could leave them with no place in Syria.
The spate of kidnappings in recent days in the northern Idlib province, which lies along the border with Turkey, provides one example of how Syria's crisis has raised the specter of increasingly sectarian violence.
Local activists said Sunni-Shiite tensions were rare in the area before Syria's crisis began, and that residents of the only two Shiite villages, Fua and Kifarya, moved freely through the constellation of Sunni villages around them.
Tensions rose, however, after the crisis began and opposition members armed themselves to fight back against Assad's harsh crackdown on dissent. Most of the Sunni villages embraced the uprising, while the Shiites stood by the regime. Many say the government armed its supporters to help fight the rebels.
Kidnappings grew common last year, as rebels set up checkpoints to catch Shiites they accused of being "shabiha," or pro-government militiamen, and Shiite gunmen did the same to capture rebels they considered terrorists. Elders from both communities remained in contact, arranging prisoner exchanges to avoid violence.
Most agree that the recent kidnappings started when unknown gunmen stopped a bus carrying Shiite civilians and kidnapped all its passengers on Thursday. Many of the passengers were women and children and their kidnapping was seen as a harsh escalation, especially in the conservative culture of north Syria.
"Before, it was all militiamen catching rebels. It was all part of the war," activist Bahaideen Abdel-Razaq in the village of Sarmeen said via Skype. "But kidnapping of women and children had never happened before."
Soon after, Shiite gunmen began kidnapping residents of nearby Sunni villages, he said, stopping public busses carrying them on rural highways or on their way into the province's regional capital, which is still under regime control.

Windows Vista Bugs
by photoham - 2/12/07 11:26 AM
I have been a faithful Windows user since 3.0 and I really though that nothing could be worse than Windows ME. Vista in the early stages is worse. Windows ME had its problems, but you could get support/help from 3rd party vendors. Upgrading to Vista has been a real challenge... and I feel like I'm walking through this maze all alone. So many software and hardware items don't work with Vista and third party vendors have not developed a fix yet. Virus protection... No, AOL security... NO, ATT security suite... No. Problems that were none existent yesterday are here today. The drivers for my video card, cd-rom drive and D-link usb adapter worked yesterday. Now, nothing but problem messages. I've always fought the good PC vs. MAC fight and found the MAC commercials to be amusing. But, I've never given thought to joining the MAC legions until now. If Vista wasn't ready for a release that would be seamless for the upgrade crowd, It should have been noted. And the Vista Advisor is another matter for another conversation. Why give the green light to a system for upgrade and then present you with a different reality post upgrade?
