Komisarek Connects With The Poles
07/09/07 at 09:31 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Montreal Gazette,
With his girlfriend, Montrealer Lindsay Rosen, and his father up from Long Island with a few pals, Komisarek arrived at the Big O with a T-shirt over his proud Polish heart, unsure what awaited him in the stadium.
Madness, as it turned out.
"By the end of the game, I was wearing a jersey and waving a flag, people just giving me this stuff off their backs," Komisarek said, still amazed. "We were taking pictures, I was signing autographs. My dad was overwhelmed, he couldn't believe it."
Roman Komisarek's 25-year-old son is a hockey star in this town. He's a huge favourite of Montreal's Polish community.
But quicker than you can say Grzegorz Krychowiak, who scored the game's lone goal, Komisarek's hero status soared higher still in a Polska cheering section, where fans enveloped him and, for a few hours at least, made him one of their own.

You Wanted Some Perspective?
Blog: Abel to Yzerman By IwoCPO
07/09/07 at 09:22 AM ET | Comments (0)
Editorial note: it's rare, but sometimes I do stray into worlds that don't necessarily include hockey. In those instances, the word "perspective" will typically be in the subject of the post. If the subject matter offends you, feel free to say so. But don't say I didn't warn you.
Perspective? Yes. I've got a little for you. Back in the states after a short trip to The Cradle and I've returned to find a team that is Smyth-less, improved, yet largely the same. Schneider's gone, so is Bertuzzi. Rafalski's here and Hasek is back. The blue line is better, but offensively there are questions. The Groin that wasn't an issue will most likely become a story by Christmas and there is at least one more UFA out there waiting to head to Hockeytown.

How Slow Can We Go

Wow, the slowest day regarding hockey talk in a long time.
Nothing out there today folks, nada, zip…
Signings and trade talk may filter in here and there, but I have a feeling the next three weeks or so may be slow.
We will be around and will report anything hockey related.
In the meantime, stay cool! 92 degrees here in the Detroit area at 8:30pm!

Promising Future For Blackhawks
07/08/07 at 10:44 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Chicago Tribune,
"We're getting quite deep at all positions," Tallon said. "The challenges and fights for jobs is what makes a team successful. When people know there are other people in line for their jobs, they start to compete hard.
"We're very, very excited about the future, and the foundation is being put together very solidly."
Though they were merely scrimmages during a July prospects camp, Kane and Toews showed they may be ready to take their acts to the NHL. Each scored two goals and added four assists while creating scoring chances—both with their passing and shooting skills—nearly every shift.

Who's Telling The Truth
07/08/07 at 09:12 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Buffalo News,
"For the record, Darcy Regier did call Pat Brisson in January," Quinn said Friday. "There was no offer back to us about any kind of discount or anything. So I think we ought to make the record clear on that. If there had been and everybody came together and said, 'Let's all chip in,' we would have tried to figure out a way."
According to Brisson, the Sabres never called his office at any point during the season. In fact, he hadn't heard from them since last summer, the day before Briere was awarded a one-year contract worth $5 million. Brisson at the time was pressing the Sabres to sign Briere to a fiveyear deal worth $25 million, which the Sabres rejected.

Buffalo Remains Sane
07/08/07 at 09:08 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Larry Felser of the Buffalo News,
I know we're all supposed to buy the theory that Buffalo's management is wholly to blame for the departure of the two stars, but I find it difficult to believe that the players' agents weren't aware that there would be several pots of gold being stirred by rich and desperate franchises at the end of the season.
I also don't buy the theory that the departure of Briere is the end of civilization as we know it. Danny is a terrific little player, fun to watch. He's probably worth the $5 million the Sabres were paying him and another million or so they were prepared to pay him in a new contract. I don't think he would have been a wise buy at the $10 million the Flyers are going to pay him next season and $52 million overall, especially considering the contract is for eight years.

Remembering The K.C. Scouts
07/08/07 at 09:05 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Joe Posnanski of the Kansas City Star,
Still, the first home game was a magical night. There were almost 15,000 people in the stands. Before the game, the winless Scouts were given a long standing ovation.
And they played their guts out that game and outshot a star-studded Chicago Blackhawks team (that team had Hall of Famers Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita and star goaltender Tony Esposito). The Scouts lost 4-3, but when it ended there was another standing ovation for the Kansas City players.
"What an amazing crowd," Scouts coach Bep Guidolin said. He was called Bep because his mother spoke English with a thick accent, and she called her youngest son "Beppy" instead of "Baby." The nickname was shortened to Bep. He, too, may have been hired for his name.

The Inside Stories
07/08/07 at 08:44 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
• Poile, the Nashville Predators veteran general manager, was all prepared to talk to the Leafs about a senior position that may have included becoming general manager, when his owner, Craig Leipold, revoked the permission.
• So Scotty Bowman has finally admitted he turned down the Maple Leafs after first lying about it. What he hasn't admitted is he had a general manager (or assistant) ready to take over. He had Igor Larionov ready to become coach, Craig Ramsay ready to assist him, and he had spoken to other well-known NHL names about taking front office positions with the team.

It Was Personal For Lowe
07/08/07 at 08:36 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Had Lowe - whose team is questionable in nets - gone after Lundqvist at $9 million, the Rangers would not have been able to sign Brendan Shanahan. They might have found themselves forced to walk away from Sean Avery's salary arbitration. They might have been required to move Petr Prucha at $1.6 million.
But Lowe didn't go after the best player on the market and he didn't go after the most cap-vulnerable franchise in the NHL. He didn't do that because of his longtime friendship with Glen Sather, that's why he didn't do it, and everyone knows it. His decision to attempt to raid Buffalo for a winger rather than the Rangers for a franchise goaltender had nothing to do with winning and nothing to do with business and everything to do with personal.

Blue Jackets In Building Mode
07/08/07 at 08:26 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Columbus Dispatch,
It's clear after barely three weeks on the job that general manager Scott Howson and coach Ken Hitchcock are on the same page, firm in their belief that the Blue Jackets—with so many young, unproven NHL players on their roster—must now swallow the bitter medicine that comes with young players getting on-the-job experience in the big leagues.
"We're building," Howson said earlier this week. "We have to take those steps it takes to build that championship team. This team will be part of that process."

Author(s): Minow, Martha; Rosenblum, Nancy L.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Violence so often begets violence. Victims respond with revenge only to inspire seemingly endless cycles of retaliation. Conflicts between nations, between ethnic groups, between strangers, and between family members differ in so many ways and yet often share this dynamic. In this powerful and timely book Martha Minow and others ask: What explains these cycles and what can break them? What lessons can we draw from one form of violence that might be relevant to other forms? Can legal responses to violence provide accountability but avoid escalating vengeance? If so, what kinds of legal institutions and practices can make a difference? What kinds risk failure?
Breaking the Cycles of Hatred represents a unique blend of political and legal theory, one that focuses on the double-edged role of memory in fueling cycles of hatred and maintaining justice and personal integrity. Its centerpiece comprises three penetrating essays by Minow. She argues that innovative legal institutions and practices, such as truth commissions and civil damage actions against groups that sponsor hate, often work better than more conventional criminal proceedings and sanctions. Minow also calls for more sustained attention to the underlying dynamics of violence, the connections between intergroup and intrafamily violence, and the wide range of possible responses to violence beyond criminalization.
A vibrant set of freestanding responses from experts in political theory, psychology, history, and law examines past and potential avenues for breaking cycles of violence and for deepening our capacity to avoid becoming what we hate. The topics include hate crimes and hate-crimes legislation, child sexual abuse and the statute of limitations, and the American kidnapping and internment of Japanese Latin Americans during World War II. Commissioned by Nancy Rosenblum, the essays are by Ross E. Cheit, Marc Galanter, Fredrick C. Harris, Judith Lewis Herman, Carey Jaros, Frederick M. Lawrence, Austin Sarat, Ayelet Shachar, Eric K. Yamamoto, and Iris Marion Young.

I don't know anything about hacking AMD motherboards to run SLi, but I do know that adding a second GTX590 will cost you far more than it will benefit you.
Even with an i7 at 3.7GHz the benefits of going quad at your resolution are pretty much limited to Metro and Crysis.
Where you would see the benefit of quad is at 3d- if you had a cpu that could feed the four GTX590 GPUs.
We thought there might be some CPU limitedness going on with triple-GPU performance, but we had no idea GTX 580 3-Way SLI was being held back so much by the CPU in at least two specific scenarios.
And that's with three GTX580s, and going from 3.7GHz i7 to 4.8GHz i7- your AMD CPU is far below a 3.7GHz i7.
Your thread actually prompted me to sell my Phenom II motherboard and order an i7 2500K/SLi 1155 motherboard for my son's computer. (and the benchmarks I ran on the 2GB GTX560Ti SLi rig)
The bottom line is you need to greatly increase your cpu output before considering updating your video, which is actually very well suited to your display. I'd be happy to run some benchmarks on one 3d monitor to compare with you so we could test the theory.
I have a 3.4GHz i7 and a GTX590, we could get an idea of how much the Phenom II is holding you back.

Perfect and Complete
Your faith in God has incredible potential to make your life complete. To take you from the place of deficiency, to the place of being perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
James puts it this way in James 1:2-4,
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Faith in God can make you complete, but your faith will be contested. It will be opposed, even as we read here. Your faith will go through the fire of trial.
If you lack spiritually in your life, you can get to the place of holiness. If you are lacking materially, you can get to a place where your needs are met. Whatever your lack, your faith in God has the potential to take you from where you are, and where you are lacking, to this place that the Bible speaks of…being perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
But, the path to that completeness is one of trial. Your faith will not get you there until it first goes through testing. You do have an adversary. You will be opposed. The Bible says, Your adversary, the devil, walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
The devil knows what is at stake, and he will do all he can to keep you from trusting God. So as your faith encounters the turbulence of trials, do what James says, and count it all joy. You are on your way to becoming perfect and complete in Christ.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Riva Lofts Florence
Via Baccio Bandinelli 98, Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In Italy even the most modern hotel has hundreds or thousands of years of architectural history to deal with; one hypermodern hotel in Rome has a working archaeological site in the basement. By these standards, Riva Lofts is on the young side: this 19th-century complex on the banks of the Arno river has lived only three previous lives — a factory, artisans' workshops, an architectural studio — on the way to its present incarnation, an immaculately designed ten-suite modernist luxury boutique.
Period stone walls and arched windows share time with concrete floors and modern additions in glass and metal, just as contemporary artworks and antique mirrors and chairs coexist peacefully with sleek designer furniture and the absolute latest in lighting and bathroom fixtures. It's a bit like a photo shoot for a high-end design catalog, albeit a pretty livable one — all suites have private entrances, all but one have kitchens, and a few have private terraces or views across the river toward the Parco delle Cascine or Brunelleschi's Cupola.
And along with all this private space in the suites, there's a generous helping of common space as well, from the sitting room, lined with bookshelves and warmed by a stone fireplace, to the white sandstone swimming pool at the center of the courtyard garden. Newly added is a pair of extra perks: in-room massage or yoga in the garden with an expert trainer.

They had amazing service and the lounge/breakfast room was one of a kind. They had bikes that you could use at any time and we had a great time riding around Florence. I would travel back to Florence just to stay at this hotel again!

New Book Points to Possibility of Human-Animal Communication
Author, inspired by the splendor of whales, describes spiritual interactions with animals
TRINITY, Newfoundland (PRWEB) August 13, 2012
Some of the most passionate activists are those who fight for the lives of whales and dolphins, such as on the Animal Planet television series. Finding majesty and intelligence in whales — some of nature´s most fascinating creatures — biophysical research scientist Peter Beamish wrote "Dancing with Nature" (published by Trafford Publishing), his new book involving real life fascinating adventures, human-animal communications, and an interesting merger of science and spirituality found with the animals´ new and exciting temporal concepts.
"Dancing with Nature" announces the discovery of rhythm based communication, a spiritual connection that allows humans and animals to transmit emotions and feelings to one another. The idea of the possibility of a greater capacity of communication in and among animals came to Beamish while studying whales off the shores of eastern Canada.
"The Great Whales, with these communication discoveries, demonstrate their long and highly developed successes with altruism, with kindness, and with large and complex rhythmic communication systems," says Beamish. "The latter are contained in rhythms, not too unlike some forms of music, rather than in language, syntax, signals, signs or symbols." He goes on to explain that this form of communication occurs in a temporal form and requires and produces low biological stresses.
"Dancing with Nature" describes Beamish´s research and findings to provide readers with a lesson in the possibility of communication between humans and animals.

The 2011 Japanese earthquake: an overview of environmental health impacts.
On March 11, 2011, at 2:46:23 p.m., a magnitude (M) 9.0 earthquake occurred approximately 130 km off the east coast of Japan (U.S. Geological Survey [USGS], 2011). The earthquake, known as the Tohoku event, was the fourth-largest recorded since the advent of modern seismometry more than 100 years ago. The energy release was equivalent to an M 9.4 event including the subsequent faulting in the following 25 minutes (Ishii, 2011). Along with severe shaking of the island nation, the earthquake triggered a tsunami affecting the entire Pacific rim. The northeast coast of Japan, the region closest to the epicenter and facing the tsunami propagation direction, suffered the most devastating effects with a wall of water exceeding a height of 10 m in places. In areas of subdued topography, the tsunami raced several kilometers inland before receding, as evidenced by the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2011) (Figure 1).
The impact of the tsunami is readily apparent from the extent of deposited silts and sands that reached several kilometers inland, over almost all the populated regions in the images. Standing water and extensive sediments are seen throughout both cities in the bottom image (Figure 1). Many hundreds of aftershocks, ranging into the mid 7s in magnitude, have occurred and will continue to occur over the better part of the coming year, underscoring the instability of the situation. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the spectrum of the natural disaster and its environmental health impact to the human population.
As the Earth is a dynamic planet, the health and well-being of human society have always been susceptible to impacts from natural events. Earthquakes in particular have a long history of significantly impacting societies through direct effects of building collapse and infrastructure damage due to ground shaking and subsequent disasters such as fires and tsunamis. Earthquakes occur wherever stresses build up in the Earth's crust beyond its elastic breaking point (Stein & Wysession, 2003). Stresses build relatively quickly (thereby inducing earthquakes) at tectonic boundaries where two or more plates come in contact with one another. For example, the San Andreas fault in California delineates where the Pacific and North American plates slide against one another. In addition to sliding against each other, a plate also may be pushed beneath its neighbor in a process known as subduction (Figure 2). Many populous regions including much of China, Japan, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Indonesia, South America, and western North America including the San Andreas fault in California are near plate boundaries (DeMets, Gordon, & Argus, 2010) and thus prone to significant seismic risk.
Because this article is meant to illuminate a recent event, fewer scientific sources could be used as references than we would normally prefer. Moving forward, more in-depth scientific analyses of the environmental health significance and impact of the Tohoku event will undoubtedly occur. Many of these future analyses and findings are likely to confirm or challenge the information presented here.
Geological Setting of Earthquake and Tsunami
The country of Japan sits at the junction of several converging tectonic plates (Figure 3). Notably, the Pacific plate subducts below (is pushed underneath) northern Honshu along the Japan trench at a rate of 93 mm/yr., while the Philippine plate subducts beneath southern Honshu along the Nankai trough at a rate of 58 mm/yr. (DeMets et al., 2010). As the plates subduct they tend to lock with the overriding plate, thereby building up tectonic strain. When the strain becomes larger than the strength of the locked fault surface, the fault causes an earthquake. The magnitude of the event depends on both the area of the strain and the amount of slip along the interface. The M 9.0 Tohoku event occurred along the Pacific plate. The fault rupture area was nearly 400 km long and 150 km wide (Ishii, 2011; USGS, 2011) with slip as great as 32 m (Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, 2011). A portion of the northeastern Honshu permanently shifted more than 4 m eastward and dropped three-quarters of a meter downwards (Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, 2011).
The Tohoku earthquake was felt around the world, and three traces of a seismogram recorded at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, show ground movement in three perpendicular directions (Figure 4). Four distinct arrivals can be observed: Direct P and S along with Love and Rayleigh surface waves. The spacing in time arises from the waves traveling at different speeds. All waves hit Japan within a minute. The extended-duration, large-amplitude shaking arose from the surface waves (Figure 4).
Because shallow subduction occurs along deep ocean trenches and entails a significant amount of vertical motion, a resulting earthquake can transmit energy efficiently into the water column above, leading to a tsunami. In the open ocean, a tsunami travels at a speed of roughly 800 km/hr. with an amplitude of less than a meter. As the wave enters shallow water, however, the increased drag on the seafloor slows the wave and amplifies crest height, potentially reaching tens of meters in height (Stein & Wysession, 2003).
Infrastructural and Environmental Impact
The country of Japan has a long history of deadly earthquakes and their effects (e.g., tsunamis and fires) and has spent considerable resources over the last several decades in advancing engineering and safety given the earthquake danger. In the face of the Tohoku event, notable successes are visible in these efforts, such as tsunami warnings and infrastructure that did not lend itself to widespread fires. Without either protection in place, the numbers of deaths and degree of damage would undoubtedly have been far higher, such as the 1923 M 7.9 Kanto earthquake that killed well over 100,000 people and left much of Tokyo in ashes and ruin (De Boer & Sanders, 2005).
Despite these advances, extensive damage occurred to infrastructure from the Tohoku event, with impacts to human health both immediately and into the foreseeable future. As of May 12, 2011, the death toll stood at 14,998 with an additional 9,761 people still missing (Japan National Police Agency, 2011). The number of homeless is estimated in the hundreds of thousands (Showstack, 2011), with over 163,000 people living in temporary shelters as a result of evacuations following the disasters (Reuters, 2011a). More than 46,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed (Reuters, 2011a).
Damage to roads and railroad lines disrupted relief efforts; shelters lacked adequate food and water for several days (Magnier & Demick, 2011; National Public Radio, 2011). Three weeks after the earthquake, high-speed rail service had been restored to all but two lines (Fountain, 2011) but train service continued to be affected by rolling electrical blackouts (White, 2011). Airports were closed immediately following the quake although all but the airport in Sendai reopened within a few days. The Sendai airport was impacted by the tsunami and after four weeks was able to partially reopen to commercial traffic (Fackler, 2011). In addition, all major ports were closed right after earthquake; 15 ports in the immediate disaster area remained closed while the rest of the nation's ports reopened within several days (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2011). As of May 6, 2011, the remaining ports were provisionally functional although some were still limited to emergency aid transports (Inchcape Shipping Services, 2011).
Communication largely remained intact; phone and Internet services were only briefly interrupted. Within hours, people in affected areas were able to use technology to communicate with people in unaffected areas (Vijayan, 2011).
The earthquake and tsunami also affected water service. One irrigation dam failed as a result of the earthquake, and six more had shallow cracks on their crests (Chinese National Committee on Large Dams, 2011). The Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism reported that about 50 sewage treatment plants had been damaged. No count has been given of the number of drinking water systems affected (Jaffe, 2011), although some estimates of the number of people that may have been without drinking water run as high as one million (Showstack, 2011).
Electrical service was interrupted, and electrical shortages including rolling blackouts were still occurring more than three weeks after the earthquake. Electrical shortages were exacerbated by the fact that Japan does not have a unified national electrical power grid and uses 50-hertz and 60-hertz systems that are incompatible (Williams, 2011). Electrical production was also disrupted due to damage to numerous nuclear reactors.
A new concern not encountered in previous events in Japan or elsewhere following an earthquake is severe damage to nuclear power plants that could result in deleterious health effects from the release of radiation into the atmosphere, hydrologic cycle, or soils. Fifteen nuclear power plants underwent emergency procedures during the earthquake, with four remaining closed for an extended period of time (Reuters, 2011b). All plants withstood the initial shaking and were able to successfully insert control rods into the core to halt uranium fission. Problems at two of the power plants soon developed, however. The most worrisome problem was that reactors at the Fukushima-Daiichi power plant were impacted by the tsunami. When the 14-meter waves topped a sea wall designed to withstand only a 5.7 m tsunami, the entire plant was flooded (Cyranoski, 2011). The flooding irreparably damaged the diesel backup generators that supply coolant (fresh water) during emergencies. Without a continual supply of fresh coolant, the decay of nonuranium products that have built up in the system will boil off the coolant water and eventually heat the fuel pellets past their melting point, causing a meltdown. Coolant is always needed in nuclear reactors because fission occurs spontaneously even when control rods are inserted and the reactor is shut off, causing heat to build up in the cladding, fuel, and the reactor core. If uncontrolled, the heat can lead to explosions (Shults & Faw, 2008). Following explosions at the plant, an area of 20 km surrounding the plant was placed under mandatory evacuation, and an additional area up to 30 km surrounding the plant was designated a voluntary evacuation area; these evacuation areas are much smaller than the United States' recommended 80 km evacuation zone (BBC News, 2011a).
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has established a measurement tool, the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES), to rank the safety significance of release of radioisotopes from various incidents. The scale ranges from 0 (no safety impact) to 7 (highly dangerous). The level 7 criteria indicate "widespread health and environmental effects [and] external release of a significant fraction of reactor core inventory (International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA], 2008)." Event ratings at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant originally were computed for individual reactors, rating them as 5, but on April 12, 2011, the disaster was upgraded to 7 because the accidents were considered as a single event (IAEA, 2011a). The same rating of 7 was given to the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, Russia, in 1986. Reasons for the upgrade include the fact that the Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the Japan Nuclear Safety Organization indicated the following:
The value representing radiation impact, which is converted to the amount equivalent to Iodine-131, exceeds several tens of thousands of tera-becquerels (of the order of magnitude as [10.sup.16] Bq) ... [and] ... this results in the value corresponding to Level 7 of INES rating (Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, 2011).
Although the Fukushima accident has the same rating as the Chernobyl accident, "the amount of discharged radioactive materials is approximately 10% of the Chernobyl accident (Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, 2011)."
Evidence indicates that damaged fuel rods, either spent rods in cooling ponds or rods in the core of one or more of the reactors, have been the source of environmental contamination by radioactive isotopes of iodine and cesium. Radioactive material was released into the air and water, with about 11,500 tons of radioactive water released into the ocean on April 4, 2011 (IAEA, 2011b), raising global concerns about possible contamination of fish and other sea life.
Environmental Health Impacts
The Tohoku disaster has relevance in each of the 11 core areas of environmental health identified by Ratnapradipa and co-authors (2011): air quality, water quality, weather/ climate change, food safety, healthy housing, waste/sanitation, infectious disease/vector control, radiation, injury prevention, emergency preparedness, and toxicology. This disaster highlights how many of these core areas overlap and interconnect.
Air Quality
Although widespread fires did not occur following the earthquake, localized areas burned for days, such as the fishing village of Kesennuma (Russian Television, 2011). Because no widespread fires followed the earthquake, the impact on air quality was largely limited to particulate from rubble immediately following the earthquake and radioactive fallout from the explosions and emissions at the nuclear reactors.
Water Quality
As previously stated, sewage treatment facilities were damaged by the earthquake and tsunami, and hundreds of thousands of people were immediately without adequate safe drinking water. Damage and destruction of water treatment and sewage systems increase the likelihood of outbreaks of cholera and typhoid, although outbreaks are less likely to occur in developed countries. Outbreaks of gastrointestinal illnesses are more likely among crowded survivors in temporary shelters. The National Travel Health Network and Centre of Britain's April 7, 2011, clinical update advised people traveling to Japan that the "... flooding, stagnant water, and contamination of water supply are conducive to development of diseases such as salmonellosis, Campylobacter infection, shigellosis, hepatitis A and E, and intestinal parasites including Giardia and Cryptosporidium (National Travel Health Network and Centre, 2011)." In addition, traces of radioactivity were detected in drinking water in several prefectures, including Tokyo (Hur, 2011; IAEA, 2011c).
Weather/Climate Change
The unusually cold weather at the time of the earthquake brought heavy snows to some affected areas and added to the difficulties faced by survivors, as many were homeless or in emergency shelters immediately following the Tohoku event. Without electricity, many were without heat.
Food Safety
Food shortages in affected areas were a great concern immediately following the disaster. Failure of electrical service resulted in large amounts of rotting food in warehouses (Makinen, 2011), and damage to transportation routes meant that food delivery was difficult immediately following the disaster. The largest continuing food safety concerns relate to radiological contamination of both land and sea. Radiation levels exceeding legal limits were found in milk and certain vegetables (notably leafy greens such as spinach) in areas as far away as 120 km from the Fukushima plant (Hur, 2011; IAEA, 2011d; Olsen & McDonald, 2011).
Fish consumption in Japan is expected to drop for the next several months due to a combination of factors. Prior to these disasters, Japan was second only to China in per capita consumption of fish (Zabarenko, 2011). Japan's fishing industry was heavily impacted by the tsunami. Several fishing villages were destroyed, thousands of coastal fishing vessels were lost, and shellfish and aquaculture sites and processing plants were destroyed (Ydstie, 2011), decreasing physical capacity to produce, harvest, and process seafood. In addition, human bodies were washed out to sea and unrecovered, which may have a psychological impact on fish consumption. Potential radioactive contamination of sea water is also a concern, given the contamination of seafood. Monitoring of fish indicated that elevated levels were being recorded in sand lance as early as April 4, 2011 (IAEA, 2011e). Not only did radioactive wastewater leak directly from the damaged reactor to the sea for several days (Brumfiel, 2011), but the immediate imperative to move coolant through the reactor resulted in deliberate dumping of 10,000 tons of radioactive wastewater into the ocean (Butler, 2011). The prevailing wind direction also carried airborne radioactive contamination out to sea. The contaminated seawater dumped into the ocean may lead to radioactive bioaccumulation in fish and shrimp, which if eaten by local residents, may lead to increased human radiation exposure (Friis, 2007).
Healthy Housing
The tsunami completely engulfed large areas of coastline. Some villages were completely destroyed and many homes were damaged. Homes that withstood the tsunami waves will be faced with issues typical of flooding, including structural damage, mold and mildew growth, removal of contaminated mud and dirt, and seawater-specific issues such as groundwater well contamination. In addition, many homes that were undamaged by the earthquake and tsunami are within the radiological evacuation zone and are therefore uninhabitable at present. It may be necessary to pass emergency laws allowing demolition crews to knock down homes and structures thought to be too damaged to repair, without first contacting the property owner (Makinen, 2011). Estimates for rebuilding have been as much as $310 billion (BBC News, 2011b).
The Japanese traditionally cremate their dead, but with damage to crematoria, impassible roads, and electrical outages, the cremation of more than 12,000 bodies, perhaps even twice that number, cannot occur immediately. Instead, human remains have been temporarily placed in mass graves, with the intention to eventually exhume and cremate them. This may take up to several years (Russian Television, 2011).
Disposal of the debris from the earthquake and the tsunami is very problematic. Much of it is contaminated with mud and dirt, which may carry harmful bacteria or be tainted with PCBs or asbestos. As the piles of debris begin to dry, asbestos may become airborne (Makinen, 2011). Decaying waste may also lead to increases in insects and other pests, further threatening human health. Another concern is that the debris may ferment and ignite (Makinen, 2011). The sheer amount of waste resulting from the disaster, estimated at over 80 million tons, is a logistical problem that extends beyond the zones directly impacted due to the limited space for landfills (Makinen, 2011). Waste in Tokyo began to accumulate because incinerators were affected by the power supply problems (Makinen, 2011).
Infectious Disease/Vector Control
With evacuees concentrated in schools and other relief shelters, epidemics such as influenza pose a real threat. Rotting food in warehouses, mass graves, and decaying debris all increase the likelihood of insect and other pest infestations, which may serve as vectors for human disease.
Emergency personnel working to restore safety functions to the damaged nuclear reactors have had direct exposure to radiation. In response to the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese Health Ministry raised the legal limit of emergency radiation exposure for workers from 100 to 250 millisieverts (mSv) (Pinoy Global Online News, 2011). Two workers were exposed in excess of 200 mSv, with one receiving 240.8 mSv of radiation (Pinoy Global Online News, 2011). That dose is slightly below the 250-1000 mSv acute radiation sickness exposure level, in which some people suffer from nausea, loss of appetite, and bone marrow, spleen, and lymph damage (Sherer, Visconti, & Ritenour, 2006). It is important to note that exposure received by this individual was in minutes rather than years, which means that the human body has less time to repair acute cellular damage than when it receives chronic exposure (over a period of years) (Sherer et al., 2006). Acute exposure to high doses of radiation may diminish effective cellular repair mechanisms and may exacerbate somatic (in the person) and genetic (in their biological offspring) radiation effects (Sherer et al., 2006).
From a human health perspective, Iodine-131 is problematic because it is readily absorbed by the thyroid gland, which can lead to diminished function and tumor development (Arena, 1971; Eaton & Klaassen, 1996; Sherer et al., 2006). Cesium-137 is easily absorbed by the skeletal system, and with a half-life of 30 years, this isotope results in long-term, unwanted chronic exposure, which may lead to bone necrosis and cancer (Arena, 1971).
Injury Prevention
Although drowning due to the tsunami is responsible for most of the fatalities (Healy, 2011), many also died from physical trauma including head wounds and crushing wounds resulting from the earthquake and the tsunami. Building codes designed to withstand earthquakes undoubtedly prevented many more injuries and death from building collapse. For comparison, although the January 12, 2010, M 7.0 earthquake in Haiti was 1,000 times smaller than the Tohoku quake, over 230,000 people died in the Haiti quake, primarily from building collapse (Bilham, 2010).
Emergency Preparedness
Japan has done much as a nation to prepare for earthquakes and tsunamis with tsunami warning systems and building codes to promote safety during seismic events. Japan was seemingly unprepared, however, for the damage to nuclear reactors and the failure of emergency backup systems. This nuclear disaster largely overshadowed responses to address the immediate needs of individuals in the earthquake and tsunami areas, many of whom were still without adequate food, water, and shelter several days after the event.
As with many severe flooding situations, harmful substances released directly into the environment can cause large-scale contamination of water and land. Contaminants such as fuel products and pesticides are likely present in areas inundated by the tsunami flood waters (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2005). The cardinal rules of toxicology involve the relationship between dose and response. If no exposure occurs, then dose is irrelevant, but if exposure does occur, dose is paramount in determining possible health effects and treatment for the exposed population (Eaton & Klaassen, 1996). Because population exposure has occurred in the Tohoku event, the problem regarding effective treatment and long-term population monitoring hinges on determining exact individual doses for everyone exposed to toxic substances and radiation both from the Tohoku event and the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant accident.
Vulnerable Populations
As with any environmental health concern, certain populations are more at risk for negative health consequences from environmental exposures than others. Radiological and toxicological exposures are assessed in terms of both the volume and duration of the exposure. Emergency workers are at risk for acute, high-volume doses, while those living in and around the evacuation zones are at risk for low-to-moderate volume over a prolonged period of time. Physical characteristics such as age are also risk factors. Pregnant women and infants are at higher risk than the general population due to the potentially negative developmental impact of higher concentrations entering smaller bodies. Likewise, the younger population is more at risk for chronic low-dose radiation exposure than the elderly.
The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the area of northeast Japan resulted in widespread infrastructure destruction, loss of life, and environmental contamination. Perhaps the longest-lasting impact of the Tohoku event will result from the damage to the nuclear power plants along the coast and the subsequent release of radioactive elements into the environment. The impacts were both immediate and local as they related to loss of life, injuries sustained during the disaster, displacement due to building damage, and food and water shortages. In addition, the disaster will continue to have long-term environmental impacts that extend beyond the immediate destruction zones, particularly as they relate to radiological and toxicological contamination. Environmental health professionals will have much to learn from the study of and response to this disaster.

ClassicsOnline Home » Cooman: Sacred Choral Music > Review List
Described by Choir and Organ Magazine as '[music] to enliven the programmes of choirs anywhere', the sacred choral works of American composer Carson Cooman have been widely performed and commissioned. This disc includes a sampling of the music, broadly organized by the structure of the liturgical year. Ranging in character from the Christmas-filled exuberance of New World Carols: An American Christmas Triptych to the mystical Trinitarian contemplation of Be Present, Holy Trinity, Cooman's music creates a sense of 'sacred space' in its settings of both familiar and unfamiliar texts from all eras. Under the direction of renowned organist and conductor Rupert Gough, the Choir of Royal Holloway delivers insightful performances of this repertoire.
The recording companies have been discovering a young musical compositional phenomenon by the name of Carson Cooman (born 1982). Not yet thirty, this prolific composer has produced such an enormous quantity of music, with opus numbers approaching at least 700 (the highest opus number on this new Naxos recording of his sacred music is 683, on a piece written in 2006), that one may immediately be suspicious about quality. (On top of this, he recently began reviewing recordings for Fanfare Magazine - where does he find the time?) Is this really a new Mozart who can churn the stuff out at a consistently high level of technique and inspiration?
The answer may be yes… on a variety of discs in a variety of formats, everything I have heard is really, really good.
I purchased this Naxos recording by Rupert Gough and his Choir of Royal Holloway from the University of London (England) in pursuit of my specialized psalms collection, since it includes a splendid setting of Psalm 66 (actually, selected verses from same), running about 3 ½ minutes. But this is an extraordinarily well-filled disc, running in total to almost 80 minutes, the actual maximum capacity for which the compact disc was designed, and there was nothing on this disk that I would call less than excellent.
What really marks Cooman's music, in whatever medium, is that he is an ardent communicator. Not for him the abstruse modernisms that would put off the less than adventurous listener. He is solidly tonal, harmonically relatively conservative, concerned to come up with recognizable melodies, interesting harmonic progressions. When setting text, he seeks to match the mood and style of the music to the words in a way that the music enhances the expression. His organ writing is knowing and idiomatic, as one would expect from somebody whose activities include being a concert-quality organist.
Apparently his sacred music has really caught on with the primary consumers of such material —church choirs. According to the notes in this splendidly performed and engineered disc, most of the music was commissioned for particular groups and/or occasions. Included are a brief mass, a Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis sequence, lots of hyms, a suite of new Christmas carols... In short, any choir director looking for new listener-friendly material that his or her singers will enjoy performing should be exploring this disc if they haven't already discovered Cooman's music… All the music on this disc—24 individual movements—was produced over the past decade, so it includes works from his late teens to his mid 20s.
Carson Cooman is still in his twenty-fifth year, yet has clocked up over six hundred compositions while following a very active career as an outstanding North American concert organist. He is now highly popular among choirs for his instantly engaging sacred works, their content equally rewarding to the performer as to the listener. In character it owes much to the modern English choral tradition, John Rutter being an obvious influence, the feel of the music more secular than sacred. It is a character highlighted by the performances of the Choir of Royal Holloway, University of London, an excellently groomed ensemble whose precise intonation captures those crunchy harmonies that bring a welcome brackishness. Like Rutter, Cooman's style also relies on catchy rhythms, and like his English counterpart is adept at creating catchy carols as we hear in An American Christmas Triptych. The most extensive score comes in the four sections of the Missa Brevis dating from 2004, and here he moves to a more reverential style that is to return in the disc's final tracks, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis.The choir numbers twenty mixed male and female members who work at the University as Choral Scholars, Royal Holloway being better known as one of the UK's top intensive research universities. It is thankfully devoid of those hooty sopranos that are currently fashionable in British choirs, and is directed by Robert Gough who largely mirrors Cooman as a diverse musician who is best known as an organist and harpsichordist. The final stamp of approval comes with the disc's producer also being the composer, but do play it above your normal listening level.

Looking for love in a hopeless place?
Like everyone else on this site I'm skeptical about online dating but my sister recently married someone from this site so maybe it is worth a shot. I'm living on the north shore and working in Boston for the Office of The Attorney General. My friends and family describe me as being a very level headed person. Speaking of which I'm very blessed to have the friends and family that I do and they always come first for me. I enjoy going home to where I grew up on the north shore on weekends spending time with good people and having long beach days. I'm really laid back and in the summer time I'm all about beach/boat days, and taking trips to visit friends. Winter time I'm taking as many snowboarding trips as I can and I'm currently planning a trip to go Heli-boarding. I'm also a Marine Corps veteran and am very proud that I got the chance to serve my country. Please refrain from labeling me as a brain dead ignorant grunt because I like to consider myself an intelligent open minded person. I'm looking for someone that is active and outgoing and knows how to have a good time. At the same time I'm looking for someone that values honesty, loyalty, and would be able to talk to me about anything. The most attractive quality to me is someone who is a truly genuine person. Liking skiing/snowboarding is always a good thing.

FM says Iraq opposes foreign intervention in Syria
Among the options they are considering are arming the Syrian rebels and creating a safe haven for the opposition alongside the Turkish-Syrian border to serve as a humanitarian sphere or staging ground for anti-regime forces.
Their bullish approach has its roots in their hopes that by forcing Assad's fall they can pull Sunni-majority Syria out of its alliance with Iran and break the belt of Tehran's influence that stretches through Iraq and Syria to the Mediterranean.
A Sunni-ruled Syria would give the U.S.-allied Gulf Arabs a significant victory in their long-running power struggle with non-Arab, mainly Shiite Iran. But that prospect worries Iraq, with its sectarian divides between a Shiite majority that now holds power and a Sunni minority that resents its sidelining.
Central Baghdad, where the summit is taking place, was virtually deserted on Wednesday, with hundreds of heavily armed troops and policemen deployed in full combat gear.
The summit venue is a palace once used by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. It is located inside the "Green Zone," a highly secure area on the west bank of the Tigris River where the prime minister's office and the U.S. and the British embassies are also located.
The zone, which is normally heavily guarded, was teeming with security men on Wednesday and about 1,500 journalists covering the summit were carefully searched.

US PR exec accidentally credited $92 quadrillion by PayPal
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – A man in the United States was accidentally credited $92 quadrillion in his online PayPal account, a CNN news report said Thursday.
Chris Reynolds, a PR executive who sells auto parts in online marketplace eBay, saw the $92,233,720,368,547,800 credit in his emailed statement of account for the month of June from PayPal.
When he checked his account online, the balance was brought back to $0, the correct amount.
PayPal had already apologized to Reynolds for the error.
