MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia — Searing gas avalanched down an Indonesian volcano with a thunderous roar, torching houses and trees and incinerating villagers as they fled Mount Merapi's worst eruption in a century.
Dozens of bodies found Friday raised the death toll to 122.
The injured — with clothes, blankets and even mattresses fused to their skin by the 1,400-degree Fahrenheit heat — were carried away on stretchers following the first big explosion just before midnight.
Soldiers joined rescue operations in hardest-hit Bronggang, a village nine miles from the crater, pulling at least 78 bodies from homes and streets blanketed by ash up to one-foot deep.
Crumpled roofs, charred carcasses of cattle, and broken chairs — all layered in white soot — dotted the smoldering landscape. Merapi was active throughout the day Friday.
The volcano, in the heart of densely populated Java island, has erupted scores of times, killing more than 1,500 people in the last century alone. But tens of thousands of people live on its rolling slopes, drawn to soil made fertile by molten lava and volcanic debris.
'The heat surrounded us'
Its latest activity started Oct. 26. After Friday's explosion — said by volcanologists to be the biggest since the 1870s — officials announced by loudspeaker that the mountain's danger zone had been expanded to 12 miles from the crater.
"The heat surrounded us and there was white smoke everywhere," said Niti Raharjo, 47, who was thrown from his motorbike along with his 19-year-old son while trying to flee.
"I saw people running, screaming in the dark, women so scared they fell unconscious," he said from a hospital where they were both being treated for burns.
"There was an explosion that sounded like it was from a war ... and it got worse, the ash and debris raining down."
The greatest danger posed by Merapi has always been pyroclastic flows — like those that roared down the southern slopes at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.
With bodies found in front of houses and in streets, it appeared that many of the villagers died from the searing gas while trying to escape, said Col. Tjiptono, a deputy police chief.
Bodies pile up at morgue
More than 150 injured people — most with burns and some with respiratory problems, broken bones and cuts — waited to be treated at the tiny Sardjito hospital, where the bodies piled up in the morgue, and two other hospitals.
"We're totally overwhelmed here!" said Heru Nogroho, a spokesman for Sardjito hospital.
At least 58 burned bodies had been brought to Sardjito hospital on Friday, Metro TV quoted Rizal, a forensic doctor from Yogyakarta's police identification unit, as saying.
"It is possible the death toll will rise as we continue to search for victims," said Rizal, who, like many Indonesians, uses only one name.
A Reuters photographer near the volcano said he saw blackened bodies being carried into Sardjito hospital on Friday morning.
"Their clothes had melted onto their skin," he said.
The air in Yogyakarta is now so thick with ash that motorists must drive with their headlights on during the day, he said.
"We can't see anything, it's very dark. The trees are all white with ash," he said. "It's like it's raining sand."
'Fire Mountain'
Up until Friday, the village of Bronggang, home to around 80 families, was considered to be within the safety zone, despite signs that the notoriously unpredictable mountain could be ready to blow.
Mount Merapi, which means "Fire Mountain," has erupted many times in the last century. In 1994, over a period of several days, 60 people were killed, while in 1930, more than a dozen villages were torched, leaving up to 1,300 dead.
Activity at the mountain forced an airport in Yogyakarta to close Friday because runways were covered in heavy white ash. It was not clear when it would reopen, said Agus Andriyanto, who oversees operations.
Even scientists from Merapi's monitoring station were told they had to pack up and move down the mountain. They were scrambling to repair four of their five seismographs destroyed by the heavy soot showers.
Despite earlier predictions that dozens of big explosions that followed Merapi's initial Oct. 26 blast would ease pressure building up behind a magma dome, eruptions have been intensifying, baffling experts who have long monitored Merapi.
In terms of the amount of volcanic material released — 1,765 million cubic feet, "it was the biggest in at least a century," said Gede Swantika, a state volcanologist, as plumes of smoke continued to shoot up more than 30,000 feet.
More than 100,000 people living along Merapi's fertile slopes have been evacuated to crowded emergency shelters, many by force, in the last week. Some return to their villages during lulls in activity, however, to tend to their livestock.
Before Friday, the death toll from Merapi stood at 44, with most of the victims in the first, Oct. 26 blast.
Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 235 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanoes because it sits along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped string of faults that lines the Pacific Ocean.
The volcano's initial blast occurred less than 24 hours after a towering tsunami slammed into the remote Mentawai islands on the western end of the country, sweeping entire villages to sea and killing at least 428 people.
There, too, thousands of people were displaced, many living in government camps.

Bending Settlement of a Slab Resting on a Consolidating Foundation13(1942); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714800View Description Hide Description
The calculation of the settlement and bending of an elastic slab resting on a consolidating foundation under the action of a load concentrated on a line. Two cases are considered: first, when the slab is perfectly pervious to water, and second, when it is impervious. The problem is two‐dimensional.
Emissivities and Temperature Scales of the Iron Group13(1942); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714801View Description Hide Description
The temperature scales have been determined for well‐degassed specimens of the iron group and from these the emissivity for λ = 0.667μ is calculated. Over the range of temperatures covered the emissivity is nearly a constant except at the A 3 point in iron where there is a sudden change.
D.C.—A.C. Correlation in Dielectrics13(1942); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714802View Description Hide Description
It has been proposed by P. Böning that the curve of the rise of continuous voltage due to the residual charge of a capacitor may be used for computation of the dielectric loss under alternating potential. The proposal has been examined in experiments on two types of capacitor, one with impregnated paper and the other with glass as dielectric. A reasonable agreement between measured and computed values was found for the glass capacitor. A wide divergence was found for each of the two impregnated paper capacitors and grounds are offered for the conclusion that the Böning proposal is not sufficient for certain types of dielectrics.
Electrostatic Electron Lenses with a Minimum of Spherical Aberration13(1942); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714803View Description Hide Description
A method is suggested for the construction of electrostatic electron lenses by building equipotential surfaces whose position in space is calculated from an assumed axial potential. The calculations are carried through for examples of symmetrical and immersion lenses. The symmetrical lens chosen is the well‐known one with minimum spherical aberration represented by an axial potential V(z) = V 0+A exp (−Bz 2) and it is shown that this lens can actually be constructed. An axial potential formed by a sum of two exponential terms is found, for suitable values of the constants, to reduce the spherical aberration to less than one‐half that of the above symmetrical lens. An expression is proposed for the immersion lens with minimum spherical aberration. The aberration for this lens is approximately one‐half that of the above symmetrical lens. It is shown that the usual formula for the focal length of a strong lens is merely the first term in an infinite series and that serious inaccuracies occur by not considering further terms.
On the Resistance to the Uniform Motion of a Solid Through a Viscous Liquid. II.13(1942); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714804View Description Hide Description
This paper constitutes the author's answer to some adverse criticisms by John T. Burwell, Jr., of an earlier paper having the same title and reporting evidence for the assumption of liquid slip at the surface of a solid in motion through a viscous liquid. The importance of the results contained in the earlier paper to viscosimetry by the rolling‐ball method is emphasized. This relation exists because the author's apparatus was essentially a rolling‐ball viscosimeter. References are given to independent studies by other investigators which also support the hypothesis of liquid slip. The possibility of the phenomenon's being apparent, only, is brought out by presenting two other interpretations of the author's observations. A new and more accurate method for converting time of roll into viscosity of the liquid than the current graphical one is presented for the rolling‐ball viscosimeter, together with an apparent reason for believing that the calibration curve of this viscosimeter may not always be independent of pressure. The author's reasons for considering this new source of error in the use of the rolling‐ball apparatus for high pressure viscosimetry to be actually non‐existent are given. And finally the author describes an original method for checking the validity of the hypothesis of liquid slip in the case of the rolling‐ball viscosimeter that is entirely different from the method he used in his earlier paper.
Virtual Masses and Moments of Inertia of Disks and Cylinders in Various Liquids13(1942); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714805View Description Hide Description
The effective mass or moment of inertia of an object in a liquid may be considerably greater than the corresponding value in vacuum. Hence many applied dynamical problems require the use of effective rather than actual values. Herein is reported an experimental method, making use of a torsion pendulum, for determining the increase or ``virtual'' moment of inertia or mass of an object due to a surrounding liquid. Actual data on disks and cylinders in water,gasoline and carbon tetrachloride are given. Experimental and theoretical results are compared where possible.

Potatoes Freeze Dried
Potatoes are America's most used and favorite vegetable. They are a member of the Nightshade family. They can be boiled, baked, fried, and micro waved, steamed, roasted, mashed, and placed in salads, with or without the peel. Potatoes are a perennial plant, and the fourth largest crop grown. Potatoes have a high water content as well as starch. Available year-round, potatoes are grown commercially in at least 35 states in the USA, the majority of them being grown in Idaho and other places such as Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Colorado, and Oregon. The common types of potatoes available in North America are russet Burbank, yellow fin, red gold, German butterball, Yukon gold. Freeze Dried: Preserved by rapidly freezing it and then subjecting it to a high vacuum that removes ice. The basic idea of freeze-drying is to completely remove water from some material, such as food, while leaving the basic structure and composition of the material intact. There are two reasons someone might want to do this with food: to keep food from spoiling by removing water, and to significantly reduce the total weight of the food.

Kat Sweet, of the United States,arrived in Queenstown last
week and says she has been impressed by the scenery and also
the people. Ms Sweet's Sweetlines Sisterhood of Shred clinics
start this week, and are designed to give female mountain
bikersextra skills coaching.
Since starting her mountain biking career in 1987, Ms Sweet
has achieved much in the sport, includingwinning gold medals
in the Crankworx Giant Slalom in 2010 and 2011, a 1998
national downhill title and racking up over 20 years'
experience as a rider inlocal, state, and national level
On the side, she gained a red belt in taekwondo in 2009.
Ms Sweetqualified as a coach in 2003. So what does she have
planned for Queenstown during the next two months?
''I'm wanting to bring in the idea of stewardship and teach
more skills - it's always good to have more skills in the
toolkit. It's not just about being the best, it's about
giving back to the community.''
When the women's coaching clinic is finished, she will lead
the coaching staff for the newly developed DTR Junior
Freeride Camps. The first will run from January 6-12 and the
second from January 13-19. Since her arrival, Ms Sweet has
taken time to try Queenstown's mountain bike tracks at the
Queenstown Bike Park and Wynyard.
"I have been so impressed with the riding - it's so steep. I
was also impressed with the ladies' riding,'' she said after
attending the bike park's Ladies Downhill night on Wednesday.
"I am so in love with this place.''
She felt Queenstown was fast gaining a reputation worldwide
as a good mountain bike destination.
She planned to bring some of her clients from Seattle to the
resort next year.

What's up - I currently run (excuse the ugliness!) http://www.MLBFreeAgents.net - I built the system of feeds from the ground up with a mix of manually editing the mysql databases and a makeshift proprietary shell that can do the updating of feeds manually.
It keeps track of signings, trades and other baseball moves.
I want to move it over the wordpress - or another CMS - and am wondering if I can port this over. Here's some of the functionality that I have created -
1. Multiple RSS feeds (trades, rumors, signings, etc.).
2. A list of players available sorted by position.
2a. The ability, when a player retires - or - signs with a team, to mark that player as signed - and his assigned team.
2b. List the signings accordingly. See this page for an example - http://mlbfreeagents.net/positions.php?pos=1
The starting pitchers available are listed on the top - then the players who have signed are listed under "Starting Pitchers Signed Thus Far" - and players that have retired are listed under "Starting Pitchers Retired Thus Far"
Currently I have 2 boolean fields (IsSigned and IsRetired) - the first query (available players) looks for players that have IsSigned and IsRetired set to false, the second query looks for IsSigned=True and the third looks for IsRetired=True and lists it accordingly.
Basically that's all that I am looking to be able to do - and would love to migrate over the wordpress. Let me know if you have trouble understanding what I am trying to accomplish!
Thanks so much.

Patrick Keane
Comedian Patrick Keane has "been all 'round this great big world," as the Beach Boys once sang. Born in Toledo, Ohio, he moved to Los Angeles when he was 11. Next, he attended college in Helena, Montana, on a football scholarship before heading to Japan as part of a student exchange program. "I wish I hadn't been good at football," he muses. "Then I could have started on this other part of my life." Montana turned out to be quite interesting for Keane. "Going from Los Angeles to Montana was a bigger culture shock than going from Montana to Japan," he says. After graduating from college, he tried his hand at teaching and then had a go in the shipping business. "I failed at everything," he notes. Standup offered the chance to fulfill his lifelong dream of working in show business. "I knew an office job wasn't for me. At an early age I knew I wanted to be in the entertainment business, whether it was writing or working in front of the camera." Standup seemed to be the easiest entry point. "You can get up right now and do it," he says. "It's not like music where you have to learn an instrument or theater where you have to take acting classes. You just have to be able to speak English." 18+.

The suggestion of devaluing the Rand, potentially to R15 or even R20 to the US dollar to gain demand for South Africa's exports, must raise the question of whether a weakening currency would really be good for SA.
Does a weak currency really increase competitiveness and is it positive for growth and job creation, given that the costs of labour in many areas of the production sector, and of electricity, are increasing at double digits?
Or is Rand depreciation just a short-term, easy solution, outweighed by the longer-term damage which includes sharply higher inflation and resultant human suffering of the poor, and the erosion of living standards?
Essentially, competitiveness is a country's share of the world market for the sale of its goods and services.
In attempting to increase a country's share of world markets, the temptation often arises to use price competitiveness through either a) currency devaluation or b) keeping wages too low.
But the unavoidable truth is that under marked currency devaluation the citizens of the country take a communal pay cut through dropping the cost of their goods sold in world markets, and paying substantially more for imports.
The simple explanation of 'halving the cost of exports by halving the value of the rand' misses this point.
Continued Rand devaluation runs the risk of entrenching SA as a country with a substantial export share but one which still remains poor (has a low GDP per capita and hence low living standards for its population) with a high unemployment rate.
By pursuing a weaker Rand, workers become trapped with ever lower wages, as their purchasing power continually diminishes (inflation rises relentlessly).
There is no real escape other than attempting to stem the tide of currency devaluation, which becomes harder to do the longer it is pursued.
As should have already been learnt in SA, Rand weakness results in higher import costs. The Rand's weakness of the past two years demonstrates this as strike incidence has increased as workers agitate for higher wages to meet the higher cost of living.
Indeed, substantial, ongoing rand weakness makes the cost of importing goods, particularly machinery and other technology used in production, exorbitant or unaffordable.
This negatively impacts infrastructure expansion and so electricity tariffs will need to be pushed up even much more significantly than is already occurring (the cost of importing the capital equipment needed in new power stations rises as the Rand weakens).
Workers under substantial Rand depreciation are doomed to face producing relatively cheap products and earning low salaries as a result of substantial currency depreciations, without the ability to tap into economies of scale as the cost of mechanisation of the production process is beyond the country's reach because of the severe weakness of the currency.
Unsurprisingly strike incidence increases.
Clearly, weakening the currency for the immediate gratification of a more competitive rand, i.e. one which temporarily increases the country's level of exports, would actually result in a substantial lowering of living standards for those already employed.
A country's standard of living is shaped by its output, the more it produces through the use of its resources, whether these are human, natural or capital, and the more efficient the production, the more there is to go around (including tax revenue) so long as the gains are not eroded by inflation.
High levels of quality health care, education and public services become easily affordable and per capita incomes keep rising significantly (sustainable employment growth results) in an environment of high growth and low inflation.
Furthermore, the manufacture of high quality, innovative products, which come with a high price tag and do not need currency deprecation to boost demand, allows a nation to support high wages, a strong currency and attractive returns to capital resulting in a sustainable, high standard of living.
Restructuring the economy to export low priced products will only support subsistence wages, and translates into a low level of GDP per capita, an outcome workers are already showing they will clearly not accept with the rise in strike action in the mining, agriculture, transport and other productive sectors such as the textile industry.
And substantial wage increases have caused retrenchments when companies find they cannot increase the price of their products to match the rise in labour costs.
A perceived need for Rand depreciation merely indicates a perceived lack of belief in a country's potential competitiveness, i.e. the country has to compete on price instead of on quality to gain market share.
Clearly pursuing either a massive, or endlessly, depreciating currency is not the answer.
However, some temporary mild Rand weakness, and the emphasis really needs to be on the words 'temporary and mild', can help export demand only when there is significant demand globally for exports, as opposed to the current situation of the euro zone recession and weak global demand.
It should also be noted that SA's exports from the mining sector are priced in US dollars as they are determined by global resource prices, while all agricultural exports are influenced by the international US dollar price of agricultural goods.
If the Rand is weakened substantially producers will prefer to sell agricultural products overseas (given the higher return) and workers will find food prices escalating sharply and so demand higher wages.
The resulting sharp increase in labour costs and electricity tariffs to compensate for higher wages demanded because of the higher cost of food, living expenses and capital equipment respectively will quickly erode any competitive benefit from the rand's weakness.
Indeed, Rand depreciation to R15 or R20 to the US dollar would doubtless cause a wage-price spiral.
It is also key to note that the current account is not being propped up by foreign purchases of SA's assets.
Foreigners own around a third of SA's equities and bonds and inflows are chiefly into these sources to take advantage of SA's emerging consumer market and the deep liquid nature of the financial system, which makes purchases of SA's investment grade bonds (which qualify for inclusion in Citi Bank's World Global Bond index) attractive.
Additionally, the current account deficit is large (- 6.4 percent of GDP at the last reading) not because the trade deficit is as large (only -2.6 percent of GDP for the same period), but because the bulk of the current account deficit consists of dividend and coupon payment to foreigners holding SA's equities and bonds.
Foreign sell-off of SA's equities and bonds will automatically collapse the current account deficit as these foreigners will no longer receive dividend and coupon payments on SA assets and so this component of the current account deficit would collapse meaningfully.
However, sharp currency depreciation would cause the trade deficit to balloon as the cost of oil imports and capital equipment climb, and the demand for exports then drops off as the input costs of labour, electricity, transport etc rise sharply, driving up the cost of exports and driving down their competitiveness.
Additionally, SA's transport system does not have the ability to cope with a substantial rise in demand for bulk exports, as was evinced by SA's inability to meet the increased demand for coal during Australia's recent floods.
Existing foreign (particularly direct) investments would be prejudiced by a sudden sharp fall in the Rand (loss of value in the investment).
Foreign direct investment (bricks and mortar investment) is urgently needed to transfer skills, create jobs and bring in savings given SA's exceptionally low savings base.
Chasing away foreign investment, either direct, or portfolio (purchases of bonds and equities) through massive currency devaluation and so devaluation of the value of foreigners' investments, will chase away the huge inflow of funds SA receives on its capital account that is vital in financing its infrastructure investment (given the dearth of domestic savings).
SA's interest rates are historically low but higher than those in advanced economies.
However, as the global interest rate environment moves into an upward phase on higher economic growth, so will SA's interest rates for the same reason (SA's economy will experience faster economic growth as demand for SA's goods strengthen on the pick-up in global demand).
The risk to foreign investment in SA that seeks higher interest rates is clearly not an increase in global interest rates but rather the risk that the rating agencies will downgrade SA's bond to closer to speculative grade on ongoing strike action and the resultant reduction in GDP growth (and so widening of the budget deficit and debt ratios) and widening of the trade deficit.
The resultant unavoidable rapid rise in inflation and drop in living standards due to marked Rand devaluation would also concern the rating agencies.
A massively depreciated Rand would substantially increase the cost of SA servicing its foreign debt and increase the cost of borrowing for SA's government, and so would increase the chance of further rating downgrades.
Even China shows that its workers are not happy with subsistence wages.
If SA attempts to follow the path of massive currency depreciation it will just result in greater social unrest and political instability. A substantially depreciated currency is easy to achieve, but the reversal of the unintended (and clearly destructive) consequences of such depreciation are not easy to reverse. - Annabel Bishop

A non profit voluntary organization established a decade ago in year 1999 have been a setting example in creating awareness on individual ,social, moral, psychological and physiological developments thus contributing in healthy and well being of citizens.
Due to the modernization and inclination towards western culture India is losing its ancient heritage, Vedic culture and traditional educational system.
Even after six decades of glorious independence India is still under the influence of slavery and bondage. Illiteracy and unemployment are the major factors affecting the global Indian economy.

I've got a problem with this plugin where it will not overwrite the SEO 'things' for the homepage. Now, I know that my homepage is run with a mechanism called 'works' and believe this has something to do with the problem.
I have tried to find the exact 'work' that is used for the index but can't find it. I have SEO 'things' set out for the old home 'page' and thought the option to overrule would potentially resolve this. It didn't and I am still unable to make any optimizations for the homepage.
The theme I am using that utilises 'works' is Flare from themeforest. I have also posted a similar topic on their page to see if it is a problem that is their fault.

Since my primary strategy is scouting with Protect, it also works for Choice users trying to get out with U-Turn. Leaves me open to opposing Heatran, but I lose that 1v1 any way.

Can't really be too descriptive about my building process here. I took two particularly dangerous Pokemon (Machamp and Starmie), tossed in Heatran/Shaymin for that FWG core you kids are so crazy about, and used Gengar as a spinblocker. I like using Protect a lot in a game with so many Choice users, which somewhat allows me to switch around comfortably. Pretty much, wreck as much as I can on the first turn with Machamp, set up hazards, and frustrate the shit out of most choice users while I move around and force switches however I like. What is this game and how do I play it?

Gwen Stefani in DSquared2 Boyfriend Jeans
Gwen Stefani was snapped while heading to another chiropractor appointment and carried her youngest son. She wore a pair of DSquared2 boyfriend jeans with a black and white striped tee and black heels.
We've seen Gwen in a couple of different pairs of DSquared2 boyfriend jeans lately. Of the two styles we've seen her in, this pair is my favorite. I love the wash and the detailing on them and the distressing looks organic and not too over the top. Buy DSquared2 online at LuisaViaRoma.com.
Gwen Stefani in True Religion Patchwork Overalls
Gwen Stefani and her family were snapped while spending some time at the beach together over the weekend. Gwen wore her True Religion Patchwork overalls as a swim suit cover up.
I like that she chose to wear these over her bathing suit, it really shows how versatile of a piece they are. I also love that the patchwork detail gives them a more casual vibe, but Gwen still looks so polished with her sunglasses and red lipstick!
Nicole Richie in Levi's Cut off Shorts
Nicole Richie showed off her long legs in a pair of her Levi's cut off shorts while out running errands in Studio City. We see Nicole out in shorts quite frequently, usually a distressed or vintage pair.
I am surprised that we haven't seen her try out the overall trend, especially in a shorter length. I could definitely see her wearing a pair with a cropped top or even around her waist like we've seen Gwen Stefani style them lately.
Gwen Stefani in True Religion Patchwork Denim Overalls
Gwen Stefani is loving her baggy fits and overalls at the moment! She was spotted out and about this time wearing her True Religion Patchwork Denim Overalls with some flip flops and a grey tank.
We are getting quite a few sightings of Gwen lately, in various different brands and pieces. I think she is one celebrity that suits the baggy denim trend well and looks good in overalls whether they are tight or loose!

Salmon Without Rivers: A History of the Pacific Salmon Crisis / Edition 1by James A. Lichatowich
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 03/28/2001
Publisher: Island Press

"Fundamentally, the salmon's decline has been the consequence of a vision based on flawed assumptions and unchallenged myths.... We assumed we could control the biological productivity of salmon and 'improve' upon natural processes that we didn't even try to understand. We assumed we could have salmon without rivers." -from the introductio.
From a mountain top where an eagle carries a salmon carcass to feed its young to the distant oceanic waters of the California current and the Alaskan Gyre, salmon have penetrated the Northwest to an extent unmatched by any other animal. Since the turn of the twentieth century, the natural productivity of salmon in Oregon, Washington, California, and Idaho has declined by eighty percent. The decline of Pacific salmon to the brink of extinction is a clear sign of serious problems in the region.
In Salmon Without Rivers, fisheries biologist Jim Lichatowich offers an eye-opening look at the roots and evolution of the salmon crisis in the Pacific Northwest. He describes the multitude of factors over the past century and a half that have led to the salmon's decline, and examines in depth the abject failure of restoration efforts that have focused almost exclusively on hatcheries to return salmon stocks to healthy levels without addressing the underlying causes of the decline. The book:

 describes the evolutionary history of the salmon along with the geologic history of the Pacific Northwest over the past 40 million years
 considers the indigenous cultures of the region, and the emergence of salmon-based economies that survived for thousands of years
 examines the rapid transformation of the region following the arrival of Europeans
 presents the history of efforts to protect and restore the salmon
 offers a critical assessment of why restoration efforts have failed.

Throughout, Lichatowich argues that the dominant worldview of our society-a worldview that denies connections between humans and the natural world-has created the conflict and controversy that characterize the recent history of salmon; unless that worldview is challenged and changed, there is little hope for recovery. Salmon Without Rivers exposes the myths that have guided recent human-salmon interactions. It clearly explains the difficult choices facing the citizens of the region, and provides unique insight into one of the most tragic chapters in our nation's environmental history.

J. Carter Brown, 67, Is Dead; Transformed Museum World
By MICHAEL KIMMELMAN
Published: June 19, 2002
J. Carter Brown, the eloquent, populist, patrician museum director who, as head of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, did as much as anyone to reshape art museums during the second half of the 20th century, died on Monday at a Boston hospital. He was 67.
Mr. Brown, who underwent treatment last year for multiple myeloma, a terminal blood cancer, died of pulmonary failure after having been hospitalized since early May, according to his family.
''He transformed the museum world from an ivory tower into an immensely popular place,'' Earl A. Powell III, Mr. Brown's successor as director at the gallery, said yesterday. ''He was a great aristocrat, but a real populist.''
Along with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery under Mr. Brown helped create the modern blockbuster. From King Tut to ''Treasure Houses of Britain'' to Andrew Wyeth's ''Helga'' nudes to ''Circa 1492,'' Mr. Brown oversaw many of the shows most talked about, for better and worse, throughout the 1970's, 80's and early 90's, and on which he frequently spared no expense when it came to opulent installation.
Under him, the gallery's East Building was opened in 1978. As I. M. Pei's best-known American work, a modern mecca for global tourists, the new wing hastened the transformation of the art museum of the late 20th century into something like what Gothic cathedrals were during the Middle Ages: great architectural symbols of the era and vast, de facto civic centers.
Curly-haired, lean and blue-eyed, an elegant, smooth-talking salesman, whether pitching plans for an exhibition, acquisition or new building to corporate donors, foreign dignitaries or senators on Capitol Hill, Mr. Brown seemed to fit the role of the globe-trotting, boardroom-savvy art museum director as naturally as he fit into his bespoke suits. Appropriately, his office in the East Building had a sweeping view of the nearby Capitol.
An aristocrat by upbringing, as Mr. Powell said, he was in one sense an unlikely figure to champion mass culture, with which he was eternally fascinated but sometimes charmingly unfamiliar. A colleague remembers once taking him to McDonald's and handing him a Big Mac. ''Carter was mystified by the packaging,'' the colleague recalled. ''It was like we'd just landed on a space station.''
He was gracious and surprisingly forthcoming with the public, although he could seem remote in private to some associates. ''I worked very closely with Carter for eight years,'' John Walker, his predecessor as director, said, ''and I didn't know him any better at the end than I did at the beginning.''
Part Barnum, part Albert Schweitzer, Mr. Brown clearly relished his job as America's ''unofficial minister of culture,'' as U.S. News and World Report once called him, and also his ability to do it well. Between the time he took over the gallery at 34 in 1969, until he retired, somewhat surprisingly, in 1992, at 57, he made what had been a fairly sleepy, albeit grand gallery of old master paintings where few exhibitions happened into a legitimate rival of the much bigger, older Met as the nation's premier art attraction.
Building a National Showcase
Mr. Brown was also expert at leveraging the gallery's status as the nation's representative art museum to appeal to the patriotism of donors and, more or less aggressively, to twist the arms of foreign governments and United States presidents. He had an unsettling although hypnotic way of speaking at times, his voice dropping to an almost inaudible level and his eyes closing, as if he were in a trance, intoxicated with his own words. But clearly it worked.
Over the years he persuaded Congress to increase annual federal spending on the gallery from $3.2 million to $52.3 million. The endowment grew from $34 million to $186 million. He induced Armand Hammer, a frequent behind-the-scenes collaborator in bilateral negotiations for loan shows from the Soviet Union, to donate his old master drawings. The gallery acquired more than 20,000 works during Mr. Brown's tenure, including the entire 20th-century collection. Jackson Pollock's ''Lavender Mist'' and Barnett Newman's ''Stations of the Cross'' were among the conspicuous ones.
Despite what he frequently said to the contrary, the collection and other aspects of the gallery that came about or grew exponentially under him -- conservation, education, the research center and library -- never seemed as much his passion as the blockbuster show or the East Building, where most of the blockbusters happened.
One of the influential works of public architecture to be completed in the United States since World War II, the East Building inspired museums around the world to commission architectural projects that also sometimes competed with the art they were created to display. The building laid the groundwork for, among other museums, the Getty Center in Los Angeles designed by Richard Meier, and the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, by Frank O. Gehry.
Mr. Brown followed the lead of the gallery's prime patron, Paul Mellon, in selecting Mr. Pei to design the building. Supported by money from Mellon and his sister, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, it evolved into a radically eccentric (admirers have always said ingenious) plan. Its budget eventually ballooned to $94 million, which made headlines at the time but no longer seems remarkable. The building consists of two connected triangles with a soaring, multilevel, open-tiered, glass-roofed atrium, Mr. Pei's boldest stroke, for which Mr. Brown commissioned works by Miró, Calder and others.

I'm not going to do anything until I figure out where I am. Am I behind the assailant, "continuing the flow of the line" or am I, "at the end of the registers" grabbing a Snickers.
As I see it, one would put me directly behind the assailant and the other would put me off to his side, within his peripheral vision.

Crossman 760 BB/Pellet, Daisy Red Ryder, Crossman Wrist Rocket, 14 Steak Knives, 3 Fillet Knives, Rolling Pin-14", Various Hunting Knives, 2 Baseball Bats, 3 Big Dogs and a big American Flag flying in the yard. I have no firearms; Try the next house.
Know your target and what is behind it. If I'm in a line at close distance I'm not going to be shooting where any over penetration of a skinny guy is going to get the cashier killed while the BG walks.
Then again, I'm not at CVS because of their no guns = no business policy; which is probably why this CVS is getting robbed by toy gun in the first place.
Forcible felony I'm allowed to take action in my state, so legally allowed to; if there is tactically the opportunity to draw index and fire in a manner not harming anyone else, before he can get rounds in me; then the BG is probably not going to be the one that walks home that night, a known risk in his career choice at least as far as 49 states are concerned. In all 50 states it's becoming an increasing risk we face that the money isn't enough and that other more violent crimes accompany armed robberies, such as rape and murder.
Glock Certified Armorer
The perp waited patiently in line then drew his weapon? Doesn't seem like a guy hell-bent on killing - crowed place, waited until his opportunity was there - seems like one that wants to take the money and run.
I'd have my hand at 5:00 and back away - if he starts shooting then so do I. I'm not LEO, and my "point shooting" training is limited. My focus is on survival and protecting the people with me.
Here, my gut reaction is that if I don't pull the trigger, he won't either.
Recall the McDonald's story posted a while back, where a retired police officer ended up in a shoot out with a perp - 12 shots, perp dead, and by some miracle nobody else hit. Not saying what the retired police officer did was wrong by any means - the point is the retired cop had a lifetime of duty training and still 12 shots were exchanged.
I think that anyone here that thinks they can take the guy out with a head shot from 5 feet when adrenaline is pumping through them is fooling themselves - unless you have had a lot a training with stress induced scenarios or been through it a lot of times. Come on people, point shooting at the range every weekend will help you a lot, but don't think it will quell your nerves or introduce enough muscle memory to overcome the excitement of the moment.
It is impossible to know the intent of the assailant. If you wait and he decides to shoot the clerk, you will be too late to do them any good. I do not believe in resting the well being of people on benevolence of criminals
From a position behind the assailant, with the clerk in front, the only reasonably good shooting solution I see is dropping and shooting at an upward angle shot to the base of the skull. I still don't like the positions of everyone and possible bullet path.
I would draw as I take a step forward closing the distance and pistol whip him. That would give the fastest incapacitation without concern for bullet path.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
Just to bring up a point to the situation. A lot of you are assuming he's there to rob the place. Nobody said anything about money or robbing the place. For all we know, he could be the cashiers crazy ex-boyfriend or ex-husband whose there to kill her. And if he's there to kill her, theres no knowing who else he will kill or harm. My thought behind any situation is that if a gun comes out, so does mine, and it's basically who shoots who first. If you have the guts to pull your gun out and point it in someones face, you better be ready to deal with the consequences which includes bullets coming your way. Just my thought about everything.
I will not stand idly by while an innocent person is in such danger.

If we stick to the facts of the scenario, are the members of the forum that say they would draw and shoot do so even though they don't know the weapon is real or fake? One fact - you don't know if the weapon is real or fake.
What if it's the cashier's snotty brother home from college and he's going to squirt her in the face with a squirt gun? What if it's a guy that is returning a cap gun that he bought for his son and it didn't work?
I would have to assess whether there is, in fact, a danger.
How would you accomplish that?
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
As in my previous post - back away, hand on gun but not drawn, and try to assess the situation in the next one or two seconds. From the facts given, I personally couldn't take the shot, because I don't know if the gun is even real.
Say it's the guy that bought the cheap cap gun and is returning it. If I immediately draw and blow a hole in his temple and explode the other side of his head, what do I say to his 6-year old son that comes running around the corner to find his dad's brains scattered across the checkout lane? "Sorry kid, I wasn't sure it if was a real gun, so I blew your dad away - just in case, y'know?"
Ladies and gents, nothing personal - but I'd have to assess from a defensive posture before I knew whether I should shoot.
(On a side note, I've decided not to return $5 cap guns to CVS if they don't work )
I agree that you should always assess the situation first, but I can't imagine anyone returning a cap gun like this:
"well you know, this cap gun just didn't work the way I wanted it to! I'd like to return it!"
I would hope you could tell the difference between a cap gun and a real gun. If you have any doubt, it could be the last mistake you make. If someone wants to pull that kind of prank, that's on them.
This kind of story makes my decision easy.
4 People Killed In Shooting At Haven Drugs Pharmacy In Medford « CBS New York
You know, Its because of stories like that, that I carry and would not hesitate to put someone who threatens the life of another down. Im not gonna shoot because he might want to steal a few lousy dollars and I'm trying to fight crime, I'm gonna shoot because the guy might explode like this lunatic did and kill everyone in sight. What a tragedy.

Victims' Responses to traumatic life events: An unjust world or an uncaring world?

Although the psychological literature has generally equated deservingness and justice, victims' responses suggest the need to disentangle the two concepts. Victims usually feel their traumatic experience was undeserved but typically do not consider the outcome in terms of justice or fairness. Rather, their feelings about not deserving the victimization derive from a second type of moral judgment involving caring rather than justice. These two orientations are discussed in light of recent developments in work on moral reasoning. A framework for understanding the trauma of victimization is presented; the shattering of assumptions related to a caring world—in which people are protected from harm—is highlighted in this model. The crucialrole of social support and specific cognitive strategies used by victims in the aftermath of their victimization are discussed in terms of survivors' efforts to rebuild their assumptions about a caring world. Although concerns about justice are less common among survivors, an effort is made to discuss when these isues are most apt to arise.

The query I tried was - alter table SOME_TABLE modify (SOME_COL varchar2(16)); But the values(some not all) already present in the table get '\0' appended to them when I run the above query.
So, what is the right way of doing what I want?

What Suffering For Being A Christian Really Means
Tim Harrelson
Oftentimes, we hear about and/or talk about "suffering for being a Christian." And many of those times, I think our minds jump to a picture of someone being physically persecuted in an Asian country. While this is most certainly true, it is also not exhaustive. Peter in 1 Peter 3 and 4, and Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount, sheds some light at what is perhaps more of a basic understanding of "suffering for Christ's sake."
What Is A Church?
Tim Harrelson
What is a church? Is it a social club? Is it a state-funded entity? How are we to think about church membership? Is it negotiable? Is it optional? Is it necessary? Is it biblical?
Hope & Direction in Suffering Injustice
Tim Harrelson
When we go through trials of injustice, we often can lose hope and direction. Hope becomes shallow and jaded and direction becomes relative and blurred. Pastor Peter encountered this with a few churches in his day. Here are a few observations from how he addresses these people in their troublesome time:
Seven Ways To Distance Yourself From A Local Church
Tim Harrelson
This post may at first seem to be educating people on how to avoid committing to a local church. My intention is rather to make aware that those who are currently following one or more of these are probably not experiencing the church as an outpost of God's gracious future kingdom.
Standing Up To Tough Texts
Tim Harrelson
There are a good handful of challenging passages to understand and interpret in the Bible. How are we supposed to read and understand them faithfully? Here are a few steps that can help you as you make your way through a tough text:
The Voice Of Contentment
Tim Harrelson
Paul, False Teachers, & Contentment I recently preached on 1 Timothy 6 and one of the principles that has remained with me is that of gospel-grounded contentment. In 1 Timothy 6:6-8, Paul leads the church to think through what they are to be about – not greedy gain, like the false teachers, but satisfaction in […]
What Do Your Emotions Expose?
Tim Harrelson
What do your emotions expose about what you treasure most? Do you notice the same patterns at work within your heart? How do you combat them in order to keep living on mission for our King?
Grounds For Glory
Tim Harrelson
Once you've experienced the most beautifully glorious thing ever, things which you once thought were beautiful and glorious now appear bland. And so it is with…
Grace Motivated Good Work
Tim Harrelson
Several passages in the NT talk about the goodness and necessity of work. Christ has redeemed us to perform the work that he has given us to do before the foundation of the earth (Eph. 2:10). Here are just a few passages and their general thrust of what it means to work faithfully inside of Jesus' finished work.
Gospel Grace In Marriage
Tim Harrelson
Perhaps one of the main reasons why marriage goes the way of the fallen culture is because it either loses its sight of or never has a vision of the beauty of grace operating within its structure…

Op House is a treasure for all
Published: Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 29, 2009 at 11:02 p.m.
To The Editor: The Opportunity House is a community treasure we are fortunate to have.
Since 1961 this organization has prospered and grown from its original 100 members to over 1,100 today. When you pass by the facility on US 25, count the cars in the parking lot. Stop and see what people are doing.
Ask for a tour or just walk around. Pick up a free newsletter listing activities. Ask about membership.
I play bridge, but whatever activity you may enjoy there is something for just about everyone ballroom dancing, calligraphy, canasta, clogging, computer classes, cribbage, golf, knitting, lapidary, line dancing, fitness, oil painting, pinochle, poker, portrait drawing, pottery, sewing, singles group, stained glass, watercolor painting, woodworking/carving, weaving and more all in one place. You might also find a seminar, civic club, wedding reception, concert, movie, art exhibit, memorial service, medical testing, band rehearsal or political meeting. Several churches had their beginning at the Op House.
Op House is a nonprofit with about 99 percent of revenue coming from its participants in table fees, rents, membership fees and gifts. Like any nonprofit it always needs more money. Please add the Op House to your contribution list. I understand they are trying to raise additional funds for much needed improvements to the building.
Op House: A fun place and a community Treasure.
Call me, David Bonner 692-2071, for a personal tour. I am a former board member and will be glad to show you around.

What's wrong with the roller coaster? I love that thing.
Speaking of the stoner laser dome, I hereby propose a homo-curated Gayzer Beam show in there for this year's Pride festivities.
And speaking of ferris wheels, I hope it'd be the kind with just enough privacy & room to perform (or receive) a blowjob on. Let's "do the Puyallup" right under the Space Needle.
Wow, great idea, to take a public space being used heavily and raze it to the ground.
Maybe next they could destroy that Pike Market eyesore.
I think Memorial Stadium needs a major upgrade or total destruction. I think an outdoor amphitheater to compete with the Gorge and Auburn.
I love the Fun Forest, especially in winter when it's sad and lonely.
The fun forest has been haunted by grizzled carnie ghosts for years. Just because you bulldoze the rusty rides doesn't mean the angry spirits entombed in the native american carnie burial ground beneath the fun forest will cease rattling their spooky, crooked ring toss.
The Fun Forest is a favorite destination for me and my kids. The rickety rides and the Ethiopan teenagers who run them are awesome. I don't know why more people don't go.
Any mention of a skatepark?
I think they should rename it "The Gayway" as it was called when it opened in 1962. And bring back the Wild Mouse.
I want the Bubbleator.
My vote would be to keep the Ferris Wheel & Merry-go-round and add a Skate Park.
The photos of protestors in front of the north entrance to the Center House from 1949 (when it was the Armory, and hosted some of the earliest House Un-American Activities Committee hearings) make it a weird and unacknowledged door through time. Look them up and try to ever wait in line for a Mem Stadium show at Bumbershoot the same way again.
Nice ferris wheel photo. Where's it from?
I'm with Fnarf...but with the Gayway & Wild Mouse, bring back Show Street:
"Dad, now that you've got a little time by yourself, you might want to stroll down Show Street, the "adult entertainment" section of the fair. Pick up a schedule for Gracie Hansen's Paradise International to show the fellas back in your neighborhood. You all might want to come down here one night to take in the floor show. Ooh la la."
I love the Fun Forest--it has character and the kids love it. Why this obssession with upgrading Seattle into the same acceptable blandness found all across America.I'd rather see some of this money used to help the homeless or destroy THE WEEKLY.

While understanding your high level video analytics is important, it is equally important to understand the performance of your video content. It isn't enough to know that many people watched your video, you really need to understand how much of your video they watched and what they did after they watched your video. Report on engagement rates and time viewed in Video Cloud and tie this information into your web analytics to comprehensively understand viewer behavior.
While we provide a number of dashboards and reports out of the box, we understand that you will want to look at your video analytics in the specific way you want. So, we make it very easy for you to do this through our custom report builder. Design reports to your specific requirements then click a button to generate your report and export it. Then, do whatever you want with the information!
We fully support an Analytics API for those users who wish to link Video Cloud video analytics directly with their own analytics or business intelligence tools. Integrate your video analytics and get all the information you want and need!

The functions in the code only create a default DB to get people started. They aren't actually a DB. The DB itself is in your character's SavedVariable file. Having the DB character based rather than hard linked to the program is far better than a master DB as it allows people to customize what NPCs they track per character. So you don't have to be bothered by a rare Hunter Pet when playing your Pally but can still get an alert for than NPC when you're on your Hunter.
The intent of the program is that you populate it with whatever NPCs you find important rather than to track every rare or notable NPC in the game at all times.
It'd actually be better if it didn't have any NPCs included at all. But that would lead to the author being bombarded with "I installed it but it's not doing anything!! FIX IT!!" complaints. So he's provided the best compromise possible by including only the most commonly tracked rares such as those required for achievements.
If you want a master DB (or a custom one) however, you can use http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscanex to easily facilitate that.


text: A mass of 5 kg stretches a spring 10 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10sin(t/2)N and moved in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 2 N when the speed of the mass is 4 cm/sec. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 3cm/sec. a.set up an equation and solve it. b.)how does the natural frequency compare to the quasi frequency..?
