Families call for apologies over quake errors

Christchurch earthquake
Survivors and families of those who died in the February 2011 earthquake are calling for someone to apologise and be held accountable for deaths and injuries caused by collapsed buildings.
The call comes after Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker last week apologised for the city council's role in signing off the faulty Canterbury Television building.
A royal commission report released last week found that the six-storey building, which collapsed in the February 2011 quake, killing 115 people, should not have been granted a building permit by the council.
The commission released findings into 21 other buildings that killed 42 people in the quake.
Ann Brower, the sole survivor of Red Bus 702 in Colombo St, said Parker should apologise for errors the council had made.
It was "nice" quake survivors were invited to meet Prince Charles during his Christchurch visit, but an apology "would have been nicer", she said.
"There's never been an apology. Bob Parker was in a room surrounded by those of us who had been hurt very deeply by the earthquake, and there was no apology whatsoever," Brower said.
Parker said an apology for any other building was "premature" as in the CTV building case there was a "clear historic connection" to the council.
"If there are other cases where there is a similar liability, then it may well be appropriate," he said.
David Stanley, whose father-in-law, Ross Bush, died in Riccarton Rd, said prosecutions should be considered and compensation paid if individuals or organisations were found to be at fault.
"If people are found to have acted negligently, there has to be consequences. In all walks of life, for every action there's a reaction, and certainly with this [Riccarton Rd] building, it was horrifying what went on," he said.
Council resource consents and building policy manager Steve McCarthy said staff worked "long, long hours" after the September 2010 quake to ensure buildings were safe.
"We apologise if we could have done more, but equally we did as much as we could," he said.
"Another six months, we probably would have been much more on top of things, but we got caught by an earthquake event we didn't anticipate."
Brower, a senior lecturer in public policy at Lincoln University, said she would not be surprised if legal action was taken, but expected the bar would be set high.
"I wouldn't point the finger at any one person, but those who had the power and the information to do something, to prevent what happened, did nothing. If that's not culpability, I don't know what is."
Had the collapse happened in her native United States, Brower said, she would be a "very wealthy woman".
McCarthy, who testified more than anyone else at the Canterbury earthquakes inquiry, is standing by city council safety measures after the September 2010 quake.
McCarthy was a frequent sight at the hearings, giving evidence on all buildings the council was involved with.
He led the council effort to inspect, repair, barricade and reinforce damaged buildings after the 2010 quake.
The royal commission's findings pointed to cases of inadequate or absent barricades, repair and inspection work not followed up and the council's "passive" quake-prone building policy as factors in some deadly building collapses, but McCarthy backed his team's work.
"We maybe could have done more in some situations, but the reality was we did our very, very best,'' he said.
"We worked for the benefit of the community. We did as much as we could do to try to protect the people."
He welcomed the commissioners' recommendation that building owners and engineers should be required to report quake damage more often - a measure that may have helped after September 2010.
The 382 Colombo St parapet wall that crashed into the building next door was one example, he said. "If the engineer was required to let us know what was going on, we would have been much better informed and able to act."
About 7500 metres of cordons were put in place after September 2010, he said. "We did our best and probably saved a lot of people's lives, but there are cases where the cordons weren't far enough out or comprehensive enough."
On make-safe requests not being done or followed up, he said the size of the job made it difficult.
"They all came [due] at the end of January and we were following those up and that was occurring through February. We had the whole city to deal with and we did the best we could with the resources we had."
The commissioners referred some building owners' failings to the council, but it was too early to say if any action would be taken, he said.
"There's certainly evidence that we didn't have at the time that suggests some buildings were occupied when they shouldn't have been, and other things."
McCarthy will deliver a report of the commissioner's findings to the council in February.

You're a fucking idiot. The only puppet state would be the United States of America. We're going around meddling in other people's business going bankrupt over it, and here you are crying about a stupid Pyramid.
This is exactly what they wanted. A distraction. While idiots are busy looking at the shiny building in N. Korea. the bankers are bankrupting America and bombing all the other countries that refuse to join the World Bank and charge interests to their citizens.
Yep, this is why they hate Islam. Because they refuse to join the world Banks as 'usury' is forbidden. Look at all the Islamic countries we bombed and invaded. They are now under the World Banks.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Whenever the Denver Broncos' chief decision-maker, John Elway, describes the developmental process, he will routinely offer "we don't draft All Pros, we have to make them.''
And over the course of the next week we'll take a glimpse at a few key players who are at various stages of the developmental process. Some have been named to the Pro Bowl, some will be starters for the first time in the coming season.
But what they all have in common is more is expected of them than they could give, for a variety of reasons, in last season's run to the Super Bowl.
Today: Defensive end/defensive tackle Malik Jackson
When Jackson arrived with the Broncos he was a player who had functioned well both at end and tackle during his time at the University of Tennessee. He consistently showed the ability to affect games in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference where most weeks it was another potential NFL draft pick across from him. He was routinely quick off the ball, usually the first out of his stance at the snap in the Volunteers' front, as well as USC before his transfer.
But he has been more than that in defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio's scheme. So much so, Jackson continues to force his way into the team's thinking about how it does things and who gets to play.
And by any measure, statistical or game video, Jackson deserves even more snaps than he got this past season. Whether he actually gets them is a question, however, given both Derek Wolfe and Kevin Vickerson are on track to return to the lineup after spending part of the 2013 season on injured reserve.
The Broncos also added DeMarcus Ware in free agency so the snaps across the defensive front will be harder to come by at times. But Del Rio loves to work situations with a variety of personnel groupings as he believes the lure of some playing time keeps everyone engaged -- "we've proven to them if they show us they can offer something, they'll play,'' Del Rio said -- as well as keep more players fresher longer during the season.
That approach doesn't affect Ware, a member of the league's 100-sack club in his career, but Jackson is in that situational group. But no player on the Broncos' depth chart made the most of those snaps like Jackson did last season.
He can play the defensive left end on early downs -- the power or strongside end -- with enough physicality to hold the edge and then move down on the inside on passing downs and play with athleticism. And in doing that, consider what he did with his playing time last season.
Jackson played 591 snaps in the regular season, or 52.3 percent of the team's total. And yet he was second on the team in sacks (six), led the team's defensive linemen in tackles (42, seventh on the team overall) and led the team in tackles for loss (11) as well as hits on the quarterback (15), often outdistancing players who spent far more time on the field than he did.
Some of those numbers were impacted by Von Miller's six-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy and the fact Miller missed the regular-season finale after suffering a torn ACL as well. Wolfe's struggles on the field following a preseason neck injury also figured in, even before Wolfe went on injured reserve after suffering seizure-like symptoms.
But the totals also speak to Jackson's ability to affect offenses when he's in the lineup from wherever he is in the formation. Wolfe played a similar inside-outside role in a productive rookie season in 2012 so Del Rio does have some balancing-act work to do with two players who have filled similar roles.
The Broncos spent 66 percent of their snaps in the nickel last season and figure to be somewhere north of the 60-percent mark this season, even with the power-first NFC West rotation on the schedule. So Jackson and Wolfe figure to spend more time in the rotation as rush tackles, as it were, with Ware and Miller in the outside spots.
But Jackson's production can't be ignored and should be rewarded until somebody else's is better.

Site Talk / Re: How to submit hacks of other people's hacks (a.k.a. Addendum hacks)?« on: June 28, 2016, 02:08:14 pm »
The problem with needing the original patch for your patch to work, that means the original hack author must never update his hack or it could become incompatible with the addendum.
Which is why you should probably note which version the addendum is intended for.
I don't understand what "originally patched work" means. From the example page it seems that this means "translated game".
I think it might be clearest if it's explained in terms of how the end user applies the patch. He starts with a vanilla unmodified ROM, he applies the patch for the hack or translation on which your addendum is based, and then he applies the patch for your addendum. In other words, your addendum patch should only contain your own work.
I also disagree with the credit part here. If Addendums require a patched image and do not contain work from the base patch, I see no reason to credit the authors of the original patch. Yes, I'd throw a thank you to readme or such, but listing them for the Addendum gives an impression that they worked for it specifically.
The "Original Hacking"/"Original Translation"/"Original Work" credits are intended the be used to credit the individual(s) who originally made the hack or translation on which your addendum is based.

Naked man had cuts to his body

A 40-year-old man was arrested in Blenheim yesterday after barricading himself in a motel room and threatening to use explosive devices.
Relieving Marlborough area commander Inspector Ross Grantham said the man was naked with multiple cuts to his body when he came out of the room and gave himself up.
Police had been alerted to the situation about 10am yesterday by a media outlet that had received calls from a man threatening to harm others in Blenheim.
A team of 21 police officers, including the armed offenders squad (AOS) and police negotiators from Nelson went to Blenheim Spa Motor Lodge, on Main St.
Police negotiators set up in a nearby shop and talked to the man on the phone while he was inside his motel room.
They managed to talk him out of the room about 1.30pm.
He had been threatening to hurt himself and others with explosive devices if police tried to enter the room, Mr Grantham said.
No explosive devices or any other threatening equipment had been found in the room.
Police could not confirm the man's home address but said he was not from Marlborough.
The Marlborough Express understands the man had posted suicidal messages on his Facebook page on Saturday, but police would not confirm this.
A Christchurch woman who said she knew the man told the Marlborough Express she had been in contact with him before the incident and had been concerned about his welfare.
She had called police and asked them to get him an ambulance, she said.
Mr Grantham said the man was treated at the scene by St John for cuts to his body and taken to Wairau Hospital, in Blenheim .
A hospital spokeswoman said yesterday the man had minor injuries and had been discharged into police custody.
The man was taken into custody on two warrants for his arrest relating to incidents in Nelson and was to appear in the Blenheim District Court today.
A section of Main St was closed to traffic during the incident and residents and shop workers were told to stay inside. Mr Grantham thanked businesses in the area for their assistance and understanding and apologised for the inconvenience.
Shop owner Willy Wills was less than 50 metres from the Blenheim Spa Motor Lodge in his Black Rose tattoo parlour on Main St during the incident. He said police had told him the man was threatening to ignite gas canisters if anyone came near him.

Solid Energy agrees to buy Pike River mine
March 9 (BusinessDesk) – State-owned coal miner Solid Energy has agreed to buy the Pike River Coal mine for an undisclosed sum.
Receivers John Fisk and Malcolm Hollis of PwC said they've reached agreement with Solid Energy, and the deal is set to settle in May, once due diligence is completed this month and other approvals are obtained.
"As part of the agreement, negotiations will continue with the Crown to establish a trust that will help oversee efforts to enter the main area of the mine and facilitate body recovery – if it is safe and technically feasible," Fisk said in a statement. "No further details of the transaction or any related matter can be released until the agreement is unconditional."
In 2009, several explosions killed 29 miners and forced the closure of the operation and led to a Royal Commission of Inquiry into what occurred. NZX-listed Pike River Coal was pushed into receivership.
In October, state-owned Solid Energy was reported as teaming up with China's Shanxi Corp to buy the assets.
The acquisition comes a month after Solid Energy bought back the 49 percent of the Spring Creek coal mine it didn't own for an undisclosed sum.
Solid Energy has been flagged for a partial sell-down in the government's mixed ownership model, which is expected to kick off in the third quarter this year with MightyRiverPower.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

Ex Libris Ltd. launched the North American early adopter program for the Alma library management service, and has added 11 North American institutions to its roster. The program designates Alma to manage each member institution's full range of library operations, preceding Alma's general release in 2012.
To date, over 60 institutions across three continents have reportedly committed to Alma through various collaborative and early adopter programs, including its four development partners: Princeton University Library, Boston College, Purdue University Library, and K.U. Leuven, which includes the LIBIS library network.
Almost all of the early adopters have also reportedly decided to implement Ex Libris' Primo solution. Primo is designed to enhance users' discovery experience in advance of realigning their current library systems with Alma.

- Wikipedia: Cebu City.
- Wikitravel: Cebu (city).
- Wikivoyage: Cebu City.
- WeBeHigh.org: Asia. See Philippines section, and its city list.

Most of the bud from Cebu comes from the nearby provinces. Some comes from Alcoy and Dalaguete but most of it is from Balamban and Toledo. As with the rest of the Philippines, you should be very careful with bud. Even a few grams can land you in a third world jail and there is no bail. However, this is not to say that you can't smoke in this city. You can safely smoke as long as you are in a car. Police and even check points will not bother private cars. Just keep your windows rolled up when there are people nearby. Motorcycles are another matter though as they are regularly stopped and searched. You may also get stopped and searched if you are on a jeepney. However, local law enforcement also does not stop or search taxis. If you do get caught, do bribe the policeman on the spot. Tell him he is doing a great job and that you respect him or something to that effect. Just flatter him then tell him you would like to settle it on the spot. Slip him a 500 or 1000-5000 peso bribe. Do not show your id and try to get out of there as quickly as possible. Local laws are very strict but the cops are equally easy to bribe. They probably earn $10 a day.
Scoring in Cebu
Also be very careful when making a score in Cebu. You may be the victim of a narc or a snitch. To be safe, score from people who smoke. Most foreigners will smoke. You can find them at pubs and strip clubs and if they do smoke, they can usually hook you up. You can head down to the turtle's nest restaurant. If there are any Rastafarians there, they may help you score. If you do get lucky, scoring in Cebu can be rewarding. Prices can be as low as 2000 Pesos (40 something dollars) for a kilo (2.2 pounds) Prices for a kilo will usually be 5000-6000 pesos. 500 pesos will usually get you an ounce or two.
Being a local, I don't really have anything to compare Cebuano buds with in terms of quality. I have never had hydro. However, do expect it to be low quality to midz at best. Sometimes you might get lucky and get really decent quality buds. Other times, you will get straight up schwag. In any case, never buy a pre-rolled joint. You will have the worst joint you have ever had. It will be mostly paper and filled with stems, seeds and sometimes a few bud crumbs will be in there. Forget about strains when in Cebu. People do not know about strains there. No one will be able to tell indica from sativa. They will only label it as good shit or bad shit.
Global Marijuana March[edit]

Boston's Pierce is at it again
Gotta love Paul Pierce. He says stupid things when the Celtics win and more stupid things when they don't.
After claiming last season's NBA championship, the Celtics guard annointed himself the best player in the world. And we all saw how long that crown stayed on his head, bumped off by Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and LeBron James this season.
Now, Pierce has opened his mouth (via Twitter) again.
"Lakers vs orlando. Looked like a german sherperd vs a poodle that's ok the rotwieler celtics will b back in 2o10" @paulpierce34
First he needs to learn to spell. Then try keeping his mouth shut.

Wellington has been declared open for business again by the city's leaders after last night's magnitude-6.5 earthquake.
Do you have a news tip, photos or video? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said at a press briefing this afternoon thousands of buildings in the city had been assessed and about 35 had external damage, such as broken masonry or windows.
Cordons would remain in place on Featherston St, largely because of danger of falling windows, and Wade-Brown said there was no timeframe for their removal at this stage.
Wade-Brown said if employers were happy their buildings were safe, workers could go back into the office tomorrow.
She said Wellington has its own volunteer student army, which people could join via Facebook.
Greater Wellington chairperson Fran Wilde said Wellington ports would be open for business again tonight, and despite some water damage in buildings it would not stop them operating.
GNS scientist Dr Ken Gledhill said the probability of a magnitude 6 or bigger earthquake in the next day had dropped down from 7 per cent and the chances of a big quake happening in next week was down to 19 per cent.
At its maximum point last night, the quake was 14 per cent the force of gravity - by comparison, the Canterbury quake was double the force of gravity.
Gledhill said the aftershocks were following a normal, downward trend.
Despite taking an emotional toll, the quake had not caused "tremendously significant" damage, Prime Minister John Key said this morning.
Key said: "the city has come through it very well, from what we can see."
Comments from GNS science that there was a possibility the quakes could set off a larger quake on the Wellington fault have been no comfort at all.
The 6.5 quake, which struck at 5.09pm, was the strongest of a swarm that were centred in Cook Strait. Four people had suffered minor injuries, while reports of damage have flowed in to authorities.
Aftershocks have continued ever since, with new ones every few minutes.
A magnitude 5.2 quake centred 25 kilometres east of Seddon at a depth of 9km was felt sharply in the capital at 10.47am.
"It is a very traumatic and people are fearful of the unknown," Key said.
However, it was important to realise each earthquake was different and Sunday's quake was very different to the Canterbury quakes, which were shallower and "very powerful."
He also played down the impact of the 6.5 quake on the Government's finances, saying the event was "well and truly within the Government's means."
Although the Earthquake Commission's funds had been "run down to zero" as a result of claims following the Canterbury disaster, Key said the Crown would make up any shortfall.
It was too early to put a cost on the damage, or if it will stymie National's goal of getting back to surplus by 2014/15.
"In reality the Government just tops that [EQC] fund up as and when it is required," he explained.
Both Key and civil defence regional controller Bruce Pepperell said lessons have been heeded about building inspections in the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes.
"I think people can be assured that we have learned the lessons of Christchurch very well," Pepperell said.
"The quake was very different...our buildings are a lot stronger here. We are erring on the side of caution here.
"We understand that we have an obligation to our community here and we understand that we'll never get back to normal around here until they have a degree of confidence and so we are very keen to exercise that wisely."
Last night's tremor was about a third of what a new building in Wellington was designed to handle, according to the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ).
"Although last night's 6.5 tremor was similar in magnitude to the Canterbury earthquakes, it was less shallow so buildings behaved differently,'' IPENZ chief executive Andrew Cleland said.
Internal fixtures coming loose were generally not a sign of structural issues, he said. More of the damage seemed to be broken windows and internal fixtures shaking loose.
Seismologists were still working to pinpoint which fault line the current swarm of earthquakes were taking place on.
John Ristau from GNS Science said he and the team of seismologists were working through all of the current data to get an accurate location for the quakes.
"There are a number of active faults in the area, it's an issue because they are offshore so it's difficult to get the most accurate location we can."
Pinning down the relevant fault could take a couple of days, with about four faults running through the Cook Strait considered possibilities.
"Or it could be a brand new fault we don't know about as yet."
The Wellington Fault, which runs through the Hutt Valley, did extend into the Cook Strait and was being looked at closely.
"It's not the same one, but when you get a large earthquake it can increase or decrease stress on nearby faults. They all interact."
The possibility of the current swarm setting off a larger earthquake along the Wellington fault could not be discounted.
"We don't know for sure but we can't entirely rule out the possibility."
Central New Zealanders could experience aftershocks for days, GNS said.
Stock from Palmerston North supermarkets has been trucked to Wellington to replenish quickly depleting shelves.
Bottled water was becoming scarce as Wellingtonians rushed to supermarkets and petrol stations to stock up.
Since last night, people have cleared the shelves of emergency kit supplies including batteries, torches, candles and tinned food.
Several BP and Z petrol stations ran out of bottled water last night and were still without stock this morning as they waited for delivery trucks.
BP spokesman Jonty Mills said several Wellington city and suburban stations ran out of water following last night's 6.5 quake.
"Water delivery is scheduled throughout the day and we're keeping a close eye on all stock.''
Fuel supplies haven't been affected by panic shoppers, probably because a lot of people are out of town with school holidays, he said.
"The panic buying reports are around demand for water and candles.
Z stations, particularly in the suburbs of Miramar and Johnsonville, were also experiencing high demand for water and food.
Supermarkets were also flat out and Kilbirnie Pak 'n Save was also waiting on water deliveries.
A spokesman said the store was "cleaned out" of large bottled water last night and there was only one pallet of 750ml bottles left in stock.
Batteries, torches and hand sanitiser were also on high demand, which is similar to the stock that ran low following the Christchurch earthquakes.
There were also reports of hardware stores dealing with increased customers buying cans to store water and tools to fasten heavy household items to the wall.
Wellington's accident and medical clinic had a 50 per cent increase in patients today after four practices closed because of earthquake concerns, NZ Doctor magazine reported.
An extra nurse, an additional receptionist and two doctors bolstered staff, Wellington Accident & Acute Medical Centre general manager Nicky Bradley said.
''We're fine, and up and running with no damage," and earthquake preparedness had been well and truly tested, she said.
Aotea Pathology was closed, so samples were sent to Wellington Regional Hospital laboratories.
Four people were seen last night at Wellington Regional Hospital with minor injuries, Capital & Coast DHB said.
All were believed to have been discharged, senior communications adviser Kim Whitaker said.
A 15 square metre of sea wall and road had slumped into the sea at the southern end of the container terminal, Wellington harbourmaster Captain Mike Pryce said.
Two rafts used at Oriental Bay during the summer that were being stored on dry land had ended up back in the sea, he said.
Also taking an unscheduled dip was a six-tonne buoy - one of two used at Barrett Reef - which was being stored by the seawall.
Captain Pryce said the slumping should not affect CentrePort operations.
''But they might have to re-route trucks leaving the port. The damage is quite severe and what is left is pretty precarious.''
A pilot boat was this morning taking depth soundings of Wellington Harbour to check if the sea floor had shifted as a result of the quake.
''We don't expect that it has, but we want to see.''
Greater Wellington Regional Council Chairwoman Fran Wilde said one container had fallen in the water at the port in Wellington. It remained in the water but was contained.
First light revealed the extent of damage on Featherston St.
Dozens of windows were broken, with broken glass littering the street this morning.
Masonry has sheared off a building near the intersection of Johnston and Feathertson streets.
Three carpark buildings remained closed - James Smith carpark, Reading Cinema Courtenay, and one on the corner of Victoria and Willis Sts. The carpark at Westpac Stadium was also being checked.
Wellington City Council buildings in the civic complex were structurally fine, but there were some further checks of sprinklers happening this afternoon.
A BNZ spokeswoman said the worst affected site for the bank was in the Harbour Quays building, off Waterloo Quay. There was broken glass, ceiling panels down, and water damage from sprinklers that went off.
Police had retracted reports of sinkholes in Featherston St, with civil defence spokesman Neville Brown saying there were only indentations in the footpath.
The quake was bigger than Christchurch's devastating February 22 shake - and released energy equivalent to 100 "Hiroshima" nuclear bombs.
GNS Science seismologist Stephen Bannister said Wellingtonians could count their blessings it wasn't centred closer to the capital.
"If it had been under the city we would have been looking at equal damage or close to what happened in Christchurch."

Concerned over piracy off the Somali coast in the Gulf of Aden, India is readying an initial 100-man team to protect its merchant vessels in the area.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will take on the responsibility of securing the merchant vessels, under a proposal mooted by the ministry of shipping and, as a pilot project, will train 100 of its personnel for the purpose, a government source told IANS.
Currently, Indian Navy ships, among those from other nations, are deployed on escort duties for all vessels in the Gulf of Aden region but it has been felt that specific steps needed to be taken to ensure the security of Indian vessels.
According to IANS, Shipping Minister G.K. Vasan had recently made known to parliament the proposal to deploy armed guards on board merchant ships.
Initially, the CISF intends to post five personnel, including an officer, on board a cargo vessel.
