CRANFORD — Originally created just for kicks, a short video posted on YouTube has turned into a recruiting tool for the Cranford First Aid Squad.
Dan Ho, a first lieutenant with the squad, and Sergio Amaral, an EMT cadet completing his senior year at Cranford High School, made the video. It features the squad building on Centennial Avenue, ambulances and some squad members, all backed by funky soundtrack.
"It was not anything we really planned," Amaral said. "It was spur of the moment. We decided to have some fun. We were just playing around with the cameras and that was the result."
Ho and Amaral decided the video might make a good recruiting tool.
"If anyone wants to get their feet wet in the medical field or wants to give back to their community, this is a great way to do it," said Amaral, who acts in the video and also helped Ho with the editing.
Amaral said he got interested in volunteering with the Cranford First Aid Squad after a good family friend, John Sousa, told him about his own experiences as an emergency medical technician with a squad in North Arlington.
"He told me all about everything he does, about helping people and how cool it was," Amaral said. "I was hooked."
Amaral said he wanted to volunteer with the Cranford squad when he was 15, but was told he had to be 16 to join. When he turned 16, he passed the EMT class and has been here ever since.
"I love it," said Amaral, who turns 18 in mid-May. "I just love coming here. These people are like my second family."
What does he love about it?
"Helping people in their time of need gives me joy," said Amaral, who is planning a career either as a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner.
All squad members, including the other cadets still in high school, join for the same reasons, Amaral said.
"They love coming here. They love helping people."

The Rocks is a buzzing area in central Sydney, just a short walk from Sydney Harbour Bridge and across from the Sydney Opera House.
Being situated right on the bustling harbour at Circular Quay, The Rocks trace their roots right back to Sydney's convict days and the beginnings of white settlement in Australia. Its maze of sandstone lanes, courtyards, warehouses and terraces tell of a life that was a good deal rougher than the average Australian would experience today!
Today, The Rocks is considerably more civilised. A must-see part of Sydney, it's the place to visit on the weekends when The Rocks Market sets up its stalls selling everything from original artwork and jewelery to local produce and designer goods.
The area's 19th century warehouses have been converted into award-winning restaurants, stylish bars, galleries and museums. Perhaps the biggest of these museums is a tourist attraction in its own right: the Museum of Contemporary Art, which has a constantly evolving set of exhibitions showcasing the best in modern art.
Another museum worth exploring is The Rocks Discovery Museum, which combines interactive technology with archaeological finds uncovered at The Rocks. It's free to visit and will give you a clearer understanding of the area's fascinating history.
The Rocks is also a popular area to shop for Australian-made goods including fashion, artworks, Aboriginal artefacts, souvenirs and fine food.

The Building Division of the Planning Department will soon see relief if the full Mount Pleasant Town Council votes in favor of allowing them to bring on two more staff members.
During the Planning Committee meeting last week, panning department head Christianne Farrell explained that the back log in issuing permits is up to three to four weeks and salaried and part time employees are having to work Saturdays just to keep up with that. Inspections are taking up to three to four business days.
The department's greatest need, she said, was to have more employees in the plan review process.
The staff has had to pull qualified plan reviewers and put them in the field to keep up with inspections to maintain a reasonable level of service.
To build a residential house, a contractor must go through at least 10 inspections from the foundation to occupancy.
By the end of April this year the building division performed 14,000 inspections which is significant when you look at 2009 and 2010 when they did 8,800.
In addition to not having enough man power in the field, the building department receives an inordinant amount of phone calls, and each caller gets undivided attention, taking employees away from other priorities. Building Division Manager Lee Cave said that working on Saturdays allows him to get more work done because the phone is not ringing.
He said the current back log is created solely by the volume of submittals that come in the door.
To date, there have been 459 residential and commercial permits issued through March.
In 2012, there were 1,087 residential permits issued. In 2011 793 residential permits were issued. (2010 - 226; 2009 -167; 2008 - 511; and 2007 - 359).
Cave said that three to four weeks to issue a permit was not acceptable for a development plan review. He said his staff should see plan reviews, with requried revisions, in no more than a week. He added that inspections should be done the next day.
Overtime is not being given to any employee. Houlry employees who work on Saturday must adjust their hours during the week.
Mount Pleasant Town Administrator Eric DeMoura said that the building division is expereincing unprecendented volumes, even more so than during the building boom. "The current level of service is not our standard and a wait-and-see approach is not enough," he said.
He reccomended that council go ahead and hire an inspector before July but also add a second inspector.
He said there was money in the budget to do so.
The full council will vote on the additional hires.

The Feel-Good Faith of Evangelicals
Think of how evangelicals may describe the Bible: unchanging, inerrant, authoritative, truth.
Well, "in the world we are entering, the concept of the Bible will be completely different," said David Parker, theology professor at the University of Birmingham. Speaking recently at the Hay Festival in England, Parker predicted that technology will prompt personalized digital versions of the Scripture, "like an individual copy" of the Bible.
If Parker is right, we evangelicals might have some major questions. How would this editorial control affect our faith? Could it lead to an eventual erosion of sound doctrine? Would the capacity for changing our sacred texts ultimately diminish their authority?
Biblical has become the evangelical "brand." We read the Bible; we quote the Bible; we live by its truths and teachings. For us, much would be lost if biblical authority eroded and eventually disappeared.
However, according to T.M. Luhrmann's recent book, When God Talks Back: Understanding the American Evangelical Relationship with God, there may be a difference between how evangelicals perceive their commitment to the Bible and to what extent it actually influences how they articulate and live their faith.
Luhrmann, a psychological anthropologist at Stanford University, did years of research within the Vineyard movement and discovered a Christianity that was more therapeutic than theological. She provocatively suggests that American evangelicalism has scripted a new narrative, reformulating both problem and solution. "The [new] problem is human emotional pain and the human's own self-blaming harshness;" the gospel is that "God loves you, just as you are, with all your pounds and pimples."
The biblical brand may not be as accurate as we imagine.
Before we dismiss her findings, we should first consider that Luhrmann observed evangelicals at close-range, not only interviewing hundreds of them, but embedding herself in the life of a church for Sunday worship and weekly small group meetings. She even had a prayer accountability partner and met regularly with a spiritual director.
Sure, we might argue that her sample, while deep, was unfortunately narrow. The Vineyard is hardly representative of evangelicalism. However, I found her conclusions to accurately describe, at least in part, what has been my experience in evangelical churches. In the Baptist, Presbyterian, charismatic Episcopalian, and non-denominational churches I've attended over the past 20 years, I've often found—as Luhrmann did— that "what people want from faith is to feel better than they did without faith."

On July 19, 1978, two crewmen aboard a shrimp trawler died and the captain was hospitalized after being exposed to a toxic atmosphere in the ship's hold. Examination of the Coast Guard records of deaths at sea since 1970 led to the identification of 11 incidents involving 32 deaths by asphyxia. All deaths occurred in the unventilated holds of ships in warm waters and during warm months of the year. Asphyxia in the unventilated holds of ships is an underrecognized hazard. We recommend that fishermen be informed of this hazard, that ships' holds be ventilated before they are entered, and that safety protocols be provided to rescuers of persons found unconscious in a ship's hold.

Discover it with the best ice team on Earth
Historic anniversary: In 1914 Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 stalwart individuals attempted to undertake what Shackleton described as "the one remaining great object of Antarctic journeying"—crossing the continent on foot from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea via the South Pole. While disaster famously beset the Endurance expedition, Shackleton, through extraordinary leadership and dogged, relentless effort, lost none of his men; all were saved in 1916.
Shackleton has been our inspiration, the 'patron saint' of our expeditions, since Lars-Eric Lindblad took the first citizen explorers to Antarctica in 1966. We toast "The Boss" and recount the Endurance story every season. However, the Centennial creates an opportunity to illuminate another fascinating, possibly less familiar, aspect of the Endurance story—expedition photographer Frank Hurley.
Hurley's vivid, authentic, compassionate, and stunning photographs of the people, the place and the experience, and his technical mastery, still thrill us all, even in this age of mega-pixel smartphones, sophisticated photo gear, and post-production software. So, we're taking the Centennial opportunity to share his vintage Antarctica with you:Special onboard Centennial events:
Enter into the Shackleton spirit, on us:
Capture a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative: Our complimentary Centennial edition parka, based on historic expedition wear, combines vintage style with high-tech fabrication for maximum comfort; it's the ultimate souvenir of your adventure, a "red badge of courage," so to speak, and a keepsake you'll be proud to own.
Get a 'merit badge' too: Designed specifically for the Centennial, this distinctive patch on your parka indicates that you were there during a special moment in Antarctica's history, and marks you as a polar explorer.
Get ready, with a complimentary copy of the definitive book: Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage. Written by American journalist, Alfred Lansing in 1959, it is considered by many the definitive account of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition. It's a rousing pre-read, or to enjoy on the ship with a 360º view of Antarctica—it's our "Thank You" for choosing to celebrate the Centennial with us.
South! is Shackleton's firsthand account of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic expedition, in his own 'voice.' Get our exclusive illustrated Kindle edition (due to Kindle requirments, they will charge $.99), or download the text-only version for free.

by Danielle Steel
Oh, Danielle, you've done it again. Who else but Steel—author of such novels as To Love Again, Loving and Love—could cull such a lively page-turner from a catalog of contemporary social ills? A World War II widow wants the best for her only daughter, Tana. Mom hopes that being the mistress of a multimillionaire will help her provide it. (She's a lonely woman, not a loose one.) But Tana is unconcerned with expensive tastes and trifles, so her mother's plan grimly backfires. When Tana goes to a glitzy Connecticut birthday party, she is raped in the plush master bedroom. When she goes to a prestigious southern college she chooses a—gasp—black roommate. When she agrees to a deb party to indulge maternal hopes that she'll be to the manor married at least, she meets the Perfect Man. He loves her, too. But she only likes him a lot, and when he's paralyzed in Vietnam she falls in love with his father. As Tana's career as a lawyer progresses, her new Mr. Not Quite Right becomes resentful. Meanwhile, her friends are getting married and having children. There are few potential woes the author lets slip by unsuffered in this, her 17th novel. Tana, however, strides through each episode with Steely femininity; she's an inspiration to Everywoman, at least to every woman determined to Have It All. (Delacorte, $14.95)

OJ 703 Seg 1
Only a few decades ago, Vermont's largest native game fish was widely considered extinct in state waters. It was thought that the last, remnant population of muskellunge in the Lake Champlain basin was wiped out by a chemical spill in the 1970s. But to the delight of anglers and fisheries managers, a small but steady number of these huge, toothy fish have been caught in recent years, which has both rekindled interest in fishing for muskie and sparked renewed efforts to restore these spectacular predators in Lake Champlain.

Accused in Red Deer cocaine case dumps lawyer
A two-day trial for a man charged with cocaine trafficking fell apart on Thursday after he dismissed his lawyer.
Defence lawyer Norm Claire said in Red Deer Court of Queen's Bench on Thursday that his client, Peter Ker Ruach, 36, called him last Friday to say he no longer had confidence in him and wanted a new lawyer.
Justice A.G. Park approved his application to be removed as lawyer.
Ruach is now looking for his fourth lawyer since his arrest in December 2011 in an RCMP narcotics sting that rounded up nine suspects.
Park asked Ruach what steps he had taken to find a new lawyer.
Ruach, who is in custody, said he had contacted Legal Aid Alberta but no new lawyer had been appointed yet.
Federal Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis said Ruach is facing two drug trafficking charges and potentially faces prison time if convicted.
Inglis said he left the decision on whether to go ahead with the trial on Thursday with the court.
Park said he was reluctant to force the accused to stand trial without a lawyer and adjourned the case to Feb. 4 to see where it stands.
"Hopefully, you will have a lawyer at that time sir," he told Ruach.

Lou Dobbs, the former CNN anchor, is known for rants on his show against undocumented immigrants and the people who hire them. According to an article by The Nation, Dobbs is a hypocrite. [The Hollywood Reporter]
The magazine's reporter Isabel Macdonald interviewed at least least five undocumented workers who say they were hired by Dobbs. The reporter's year-long investigation revealed that the former anchor relied for years on undocumented labor to care for his multimillion-dollar estates and the horses he keeps for his 22-year-old daughter, Hillary, a champion show jumper.
Dobbs has a "sprawling white mansion on his 300-acre estate in Sussex, New Jersey," a multimillion-dollar West Palm Beach home, and a horse farm with "five European Warmbloods, a breed that often fetches close to $1 million apiece." How does he manage to care his properties? He does it by hiring illegal immigrants.
Here are excerpts from the story:
"When Gomez worked for the Vermont-based stable contracted by Lou Dobbs, his wages were $500 per week, and he typically worked sixty-five hours, meaning he was earning only slightly above minimum wage. During shows in which Gomez was caring for the Dobbs Group horses, Dobbs's daughter would sometimes give him a $100 weekly tip, according to Gomez. But he says he was never paid overtime."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a producer on "The Lou Dobbs Show" told The Nation via email: "Lou will not be commenting for the piece." Dobbs' attorney said his client would only answer questions on his live radio show, on which The Nation has agreed to appear as a guest.
AP reports Dobbs said in an interview Thursday the article is "a political assault" based on what he called "the lie" that he has hired illegal immigrants. He says: "I have never, do not now, and never will." [AP]
Recently, Dobbs hinted he's open to running for political office. During an interview with Telemundo, he reversed his position on illegals and said he now supports a plan to legalize undocumented workers. [California Independent Voter Network.]

LONDON (AP) -The head of English football says he has an "open mind" about the possibility of recording conversations between referees and players in the wake of the latest racism allegation to blight the sport.
Police and The Football Association are investigating claims by Chelsea that Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" toward midfielder John Obi Mikel in a match against Manchester United.
Currently, officials communicate via a microphone link-up but conversations aren't recorded, unlike in rugby union in which spectators and TV viewers are able to hear what is said.
FA chairman David Bernstein told the BBC that FIFA and football rule-makers IFAB would need to approve any change but "given what's happened recently, we should have an open mind about it and it should definitely be looked at."

This week, listening to African National Congress president Jacob Zuma's powerful oration to the party faithful, I was spellbound. Limited space here permits only key extracts.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. I don't want to rule anyone. I'd like to help everyone, if possible — Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness — ubuntu — not by each other's misery.
"The good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. Life can be free and beautiful, but we've lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls.
We've developed speed, but shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Aeroplanes and the internet have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men — cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all.
"Don't give yourselves to these brutes who enslave you, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel. Don't give yourselves to machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You, the people, have the power.
The power to create machines. To create happiness. You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful. So, in the name of democracy, let's use that power.
Let's fight for a decent world that will give our people a chance to work, and give youth a future, and old age a security.
"Brutes have risen to power. But they lie. They don't fulfil promises. Dictators free themselves but enslave the people. Let's fight to free the world and do away with greed, hate and intolerance.
Let's fight for a world of reason, where science and progress lead to everyone's happiness. Comrades, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"
Suddenly, I woke to a harsh reality check. I'd been dreaming, and transposed Charlie Chaplin's timeless speech from his 1940 classic, The Great Dictator, into a truly presidential address in Mangaung.

I'm reading For the Love of Land, a book recommended by one of my range scientist colleagues. I agree with his assessment that it's one of the best contributions to rangeland management and restoration that I've recently been exposed to.
For the Love of Land is a collection of columns written by Jim Howell for "In Practice," a bi-monthly periodical from Holistic Management International. Howell was raised on ranches in California and Colorado and has managed grazing livestock operations in Colorado, east Texas, southwest New Mexico and has carefully observed operations around the world including Argentina, Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and New Zealand.
Howell's penetrating ability to "connect-the-dots" between research results from experiments conducted with grazing animals and grazinglands and the practical, prescriptive application of ecological principals to ranching lead to two comments that I found particularly helpful.
The first is that grazing livestock producers should "move toward" mob grazing practices. Following a description of benefits he has experienced on operations he was managing and observed internationally, Howell suggests that plans to incorporate those benefits would be rationale. In his experience, practices which include minimizing the number of grazing herds, concentrating livestock at high densities and moving them frequently have contributed to better utilization of the resources available and substantially increased duration of recovery periods.
Howell identifies important principles demonstrated in the North Dakota research which examined "twice over" rotation. In the Northern Plains, production of cool-season grasses is greatly influenced by new tillers which develop in the fall. Howell relates how aggressive use of fall pastures on his high altitude Colorado ranch diminished spring production the following year. The observation validates research findings and underscores the importance of planning which accounts for plant recovery.
Howell is adamant that "moving toward" mob grazing must result from a careful planning process which considers all of the complexities which are integral to ranching. Adopting "mob grazing" or high-density stocking as the most current "progressive ranching practice," without a consideration of potential negative consequences, is foolish at best. However, "moving toward" mob grazing suggests gradual implementation of practices that, after thoughtful consideration, make sense for a particular operation.
I consider one holistic management principal particularly appropriate following the implementation of a new practice. That principle is to "assume you are wrong."
Human nature being what it is, when we thoroughly investigate and carefully plan a new practice, such as a more intensive grazing rotation, we are inclined to proceed believing it was the right decision. If unexpected or negative results occur, the inclination is to look at other causes for an explanation and perhaps a correction.
If, on the other hand, we implement the practice and "assume we are wrong," we are much more likely to carefully monitor impacts of the new practice. Careful observation and measurement of "before and after" will either verify that the procedure is operating successfully; identify factors that can be improved; or reveal errors in planning or implementation that resulted in poor outcomes.
A second comment that I found particularly helpful was Howell's discussion of animal behavior and diet selection and the relationship to planning or orientation of grazing patterns.
Howell credits the research of Fred Provenza for describing the principals that can be very helpful in designing specific grazing systems. Again he points to his own experience with a system that didn't work as expected. Research and observation by Provenza and his colleagues have identified the elegant capacity of grazing animals to select an optimum diet when offered a landscape with considerable diversity.
In the process of "moving toward" mob grazing, it is likely that physical pasture size will become progressively smaller (i.e. more pastures, greater livestock concentration, more frequent rotation).
Arid landscapes are often characterized by "patchy" vegetation. Plants with particular growth requirements are likely to be concentrated in "patches" rather than uniformly distributed. As pastures become smaller on such landscapes that diversity of vegetation available for animals to select from is reduced, restricting their ability to optimize their diet and consequently reducing performance.
Rangelands in the Northern Plains can be incredibly diverse when they are healthy. Nonetheless, being alert to the dietary consequences of pasture subdivision is something I had not considered.
For the Love of Land has many lessons available for the reader. I recommend it for stimulating your curiosity - it certainly challenged me!

Date: December, 1630
It was a mere ten years ago that the Pilgrims arrived here in the New World. Of the 102 Pilgrims who landed in December 1620, only 50 lived through that first winter. The land looked bleak and unfriendly and one Pilgrim described it as a "hideous and desolate wilderness full of wild beasts."
Pilgrim Goodwife, or Goody as she prefers to be called, was one of the four women who survived. She says she is one of the "Saints" or "Separatists" who separated from the Church of England because she didn't like the way the church was organized or the way it demanded people should worship God. First she went to Holland and later made her pilgrimage to America. She has agreed to speak with the press to offer insight into her first year after arriving on America's shores from Amsterdam.
"We lost half our party due to sickness," Goody recalled. "Crops didn't do well because the seeds we brought with us didn't do well in the climate."
The Native Americans showed the Pilgrims how to grow crops. When it was time to harvest the crops, Goody and the other Pilgrims were grateful to the American Indians for their assistance.
"It was our intention to throw a big party to thank them," Goody said. At the party, there was plenty to eat ‹ meat pies, eels, berries, wild and domesticated turkey and culinary cornmeal delights like Hasty Pudding ....
Place: Woodinville
Date: November 2000
Maureen Carlisle of Woodinville portrays Goody, a Pilgrim lady. As a historical interpreter, Carlisle visits preschools, elementary and junior high schools and local libraries talking to students about the life the Pilgrims led. But she doesn't just talk. Carlisle acts like a Pilgrim, dresses like a Pilgrim and performs Pilgrim tasks, such as spinning wool on a spinning wheel and making a fire by striking flint.
With a backdrop of a fireplace quilted onto white cloth and with props representing tools, toys and dishes used by Pilgrims, Carlisle transports her audience back to life in America 370 years ago.
"The school textbooks give you the highlights, but they don't give you the spirit," she says.
In between her volunteer work at the Burke Museum, Carlisle is in classrooms and libraries giving children a hands-on glimpse of American history.
"I try to present the food, clothing and shelter of the period. So, when the children do get history, it makes more sense," she says.
Her Pilgrim program began eight years ago at Wellington Elementary when her own children were students there.
"I get so much from the children," Carlisle says. "Sometimes they really get involved in it and forget I'm an interpreter."
Appearing in full Pilgrim regalia to a wide-eyed preschool crowd, Carlisle explains her outfit, a costume patterned after some of the originals in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
"In my day, at the first Thanksgiving, girls never wore trousers," she says lifting her long skirt to reveal three petticoats. "Of course your mothers all dress like this, don't they?" she asks in jest.
Her audience of four-year-olds at Sunshine Preschool shake their heads "no" in a serious group response. She continues by demonstrating a laced vest called a doublet and a hard armor-like shield beneath it which she calls a stomacher.
"If a cow kicks me, it protects me," she explains. She wraps her cape around her and says, "If you lived in my day, you girls and your mothers would dress like this to go to the first Thanksgiving."
Carlisle points to an odd-looking wooden contraption and says, "A lady doesn't get married until she has a spinning wheel."
She seats herself at the contraption and while spinning wool she discusses how cloth is made and how she buys colors like red and blue from ship captains.
Her presentation moves on to the discussion of food and how the Pilgrims ate their meals. She asks two volunteers to set the table board.
"Our houses are so small, we don't leave a table set up all the time," she explains.
Pilgrims, she adds, ate corn and beans every day in February when fresh fruits and vegetables were unavailable. Her young students grimace at the thought. She shows them the wooden cups and dishes the Pilgrims ate from. She holds up the tools they used for building and hunting.
She shows the hornbook, which was really not a book at all. It was a page of writing, usually with the alphabet on one side, fastened to a wood frame. Children wore it around their necks when they went to school.
As an art/history major, Carlisle has had a longtime interest in history. She says she acquired "odd skills" over the years and learned spinning and woodcraft. Soon her interest and skills jelled into a presentation of colonial life. In preparation for her program, she has studied the colonial period in depth.
"I keep reading until I get a good picture of the period," Carlisle notes.
She also collects artifacts depicting the period, such as buckskins, a beaver pelt, marbles and cloth dolls. She is always looking for things she can use in her program at garage sales and in sporting goods stores. And she made many of her props.
"I made the table, chair and spoons," she points out.
And what did four-year-old Emily like most about the Pilgrim lady who visited her preschool? "The spinning wheel. She makes string."
Carlisle and her spinning wheel bring history to life. Her program is available to school groups, scouts, senior groups and adult organizations. In addition, she offers a Revolutionary War program.

Catching Seismic Waves Underwater
|Map 1
The Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) has just been extended by one station, which transmits its readings in real time. Given the fact that our network already consists of 31 earthquake stations all over Northern California, from Fresno County in the south to the Oregon border (see blog January 9, 2009), the addition of one new station would not be particularly newsworthy. This extension, however, is definitely unusual. While the all other seismometers are located in vaults, tunnels or old mine adits, the new station is located under 3000 feet of water. The Monterey Ocean Bottom Broadband station (MOBB for short) had been placed on the seafloor in Monterey Canyon approximately 25 miles offshore from Moss Landing (see map 1). Last Friday MOBB was connected to a unique underwater cable, which now transmits the seismic data in real time to our data center in Warren Hall on Campus.
|Map 2: The ocean bottom station MOBB (yellow star) is now part of the real-time
network. Blue squares are existing seismic stations, the red and yellow circles
are bouys operated by NOAA. The open circles are recent earthquakes in the
Greater Bay Area.
Why would anybody in his right mind place a seismometer on the seafloor and thereby risk it being flooded with corrosive salt water, caught in the net of a deep sea fishing trawler or otherwise lost in a submarine landslide? A glance at the map of earthquake faults in California shows the answer. Here is why: In order to locate earthquakes properly, seismologists use a numerical method similar to geodetic triangulation on land. The arrival times of the seismic waves at each station are fed into a computer program, which then calculates the location by taking into account how fast the seismic waves travel through various rock types in the Earth's crust under our state. The program gives the best results when it is fed with readings from seismic stations located all around the epicenter.
But in Northern California, the San Andreas Fault runs very close to the coast. That means there are very few seismic stations west of the fault. The one exception is station FARB, which we set up on the Farallon Islands off the Golden Gate (see map 2). That means most of the earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault are located almost exclusively with the data from stations east of the actual faultline. Even though we correct for this lopsidedness, the calculations would be even more reliable if we could include data from more stations west of the fault - with the addition of MOBB, we achieve this goal.
In our next blogs, we will describe the exciting technical details of MOBB and the cable, which connects it to land. (hra031)

A Taste of Alpine VermontThough it is inspired by the Savoie wonder of French Beaufort, the cheese from Thistle Hill Farm in North Pomfret, Vt., known as Tarentaise is very much an American original. For one thing, very few U.S. makers had even remotely begun to master the difficult mountain variations of Gruyère by the time, 13 years ago, that John and Janine Putnam went to understudy in the French Alps and then purchased the special copper vat to make the cheese back home. And what they created is as much a reflection of their own farm's terroir - especially the clover- and orchard-grass-covered pastures that enrich the organic raw milk of their Jersey herd - as it is the traditional European technique. Virtually every step in the process is done by hand, and the concave-rimmed wheel that emerges, at 11 months of aging, shows both deep complexity and finesse - at once firm, but densely creamy, with notes of herbal spice and nuts, but also flavors that conjure butterscotch and tropical fruit. Unlike many American cheesemakers who feel obliged to craft several varieties of cheese, Thistle Hill Farm only makes one. But when it's as good as Tarentaise, that should be more than enough.

MOBILE, Alabama – The man at the center of a community-wide controversy over his appointment to the local water board said Friday that "a lot of work needs to be done with the leadership" in Mobile on race relations beyond a community forum.
Sam Jones, mayor of Mobile from 2005-2013, said he would be interested in "sitting down and planning something" with Mayor Sandy Stimpson regarding a community forum about race relations and unity in Mobile.
Jones said he has not had a chance to discuss with Stimpson the particulars of a June 11 forum at the History Museum of Mobile. On Friday, Stimpson publicly asked Jones, his opponent during the sometimes divisive mayoral campaign last year, to attend and help lead it.
The forum, according to a news release late Friday, is tentatively titled "Moving Forward: An Honest Conversation."
"I have no direct information concerning that," Jones said when asked if he would accept Stimpson's invitation. "I don't want to go into a situation cold. I'd like to know what the intent is and what we are trying to achieve and the subject manner and it's difficult for me to respond (right now)."
Jones said he doesn't believe one community forum will "get a lot done" in the area of race relations in Mobile.
"You need to do some planning and get some goals and objectives and how best to implement the objectives," he said.
Jones declined to comment about the controversy regarding his potential selection to the MAWSS board or some of the back lash it has received by not only the council, but from the public on social media.
"I've intentionally stayed out of that," Jones said. "That's for the mayor and the City Council, and I have not involved myself in it and haven't shown up (to Government Plaza) for any of that."
The former mayor and county commissioner is Councilman Fred Richardson's choice to serve as the District 1 representative to the MAWSS board. Twice this month, the City Council voted 4-3 to defeat the nomination.
The votes set off a fire storm of back lash from both Richardson and his supporters and those who oppose the former mayor. Richardson had repeatedly said he would continue suggesting Jones' name for consideration, adding that no council appointment had ever been defeated before until his.
On Friday, Stimpson announced during a news conference that he wanted the council to support the appointment so the city can move on to important matters.
At least two council members have said they would switch their votes and support Jones, giving the former mayor the required number of votes to become part of the board.

'I Want the White Girl'
Tran's defense—lead by Wynn (a Vietnamese American with an Anglo spelling for his last name) and Mark Cantrell—has its strong points too. They called Montessori's death "heinous," but didn't argue that their client couldn't have committed the murder or the rapes because he'd never used prostitutes.
"This was a horrible set of crimes," said Cantrell. "But can the prosecutor prove that Mr. Tran is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? Their evidence is deficient."
For example, the defense noted that one prostitute who was raped by a young Asian driving a silver Nissan pickup truck just four days before Montessori's death told police that her assailant's penis had been circumcised. Tran's is not, his lawyers say.
"Even the police will tell you it's common for prostitutes to make false allegations," said Cantrell, who also highlighted other discrepancies in the prostitute's descriptions of the pickup truck (Was it silver or blue? Did it have an extended cab or not?) and the assailant (Was he Asian or Mexican? Did he have a strong foreign accent or not?).

But perhaps the most compelling asset for the defense is Joanna, the prosecution's star witness. She couldn't positively identify Tran from a police photographic lineup. And though she talked about her close relationship to Montessori, she oddly waited three months to provide Santa Ana police detectives with her observations about the night of the killing and her assertion that she'd been raped by the same man.
Why remain silent when you claim Tran murdered your best friend and assaulted you at gunpoint?
"I was still with Pepper," said testified. "I couldn't, like, just go to the police station and say, 'Hey, my friend died.' She was a minor. I was a minor. And people on the street thought that Pepper had killed her."
You wouldn't lie in court to protect Pepper? asked Cantrell.
"No," said Joanna.
In a day that didn't always look promising for the defense, they might have scored on that point. A majority of jurors recorded the colloquy in their notebooks. When the jury left the courtroom, Tran shook hands with Wynn and smiled warmly at his mother who'd been watching the proceedings. A deputy placed him in handcuffs and escorted him back to jail where he lives thanks to a $1 million bail. If convicted, he faces a prison term of 55 years to life.

Chris Parsonage can't escape the terrifying picture that keeps coming to him. He sees himself caught in the crush of a mob, watching helplessly as a man nearby has the life squeezed out of him. "He is on the other side of one person, sideways," says Parsonage, 29, a math teacher from outside Liverpool, England. "His eyes are shut, his face just slowly going bluer and bluer." Parsonage wants to reach out and help the man, but his arms are pinned and there is nothing he can do.
For Parsonage, the frightening images are more than just a dream—they are memory. Last month he was caught up in a chaotic rush of soccer fans before a playoff match in Sheffield, and somehow he survived the crush that left 95 dead, more than 200 injured and all of Britain in shock. During the week that followed, as more than a million people came to Anfield Stadium in Liverpool to mourn the victims, Parsonage remained at his home, nursing his injuries and reflecting on those moments that nearly cost him his life.
He and two friends had driven to Sheffield on Saturday, April 15, to see the semifinal Football Association Cup match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. They stopped at a pub for lunch, hoisted a couple of pints and then headed for the stadium. Arriving shortly before kickoff, Parsonage's buddies took their seats in the stands while he headed for the entry that lead to the cheaper, standing-room-only terrace behind one of the goals.
"The area in front of the turnstiles was absolutely packed," says Parsonage. "It wasn't a queue. It was a big mass of people. A few were shouting at the coppers on horseback to get it sorted out. There were some who had a bit too much to drink, but it was a good-natured crowd in the main."
Pushed through the turnstiles by the surging crowd behind him, Parsonage entered a 25-yard tunnel leading to the terrace. Although he overheard someone say that the police (apparently fearing a fatal crush outside) had opened the gates behind him, he thought little of it. "Everybody was pushing forward to get in and see the kickoff," he says, "but I had been in crowds like this before."
Once he had reached the terrace, he says, "I wanted to get a good place where the fences weren't in the way or I wasn't standing behind someone bigger than me. So I tried to push off to the side, but there was nowhere to go. The terrace was absolutely packed." Then the crowd behind suddenly swelled, lifting Parsonage and other fans off their feet. One of his legs was carried forward while the other was trapped against a barrier. "I was caught there like a ballerina on a practice bar, screaming out," he says. "I honestly thought my leg would snap, and I was panicking."
Moments later the barrier collapsed. "The pressure eased for a few seconds," he says. "But I was still in a very strange position and couldn't get either foot down. At some point there was this teenage girl behind me whose eyes were closed, obviously sort of fainted. I was shouting, 'Get up! Get up!' trying to get one arm to hold her up, but I couldn't manage it. We were screaming at the coppers to stop the game, but we couldn't scream for long; it became too tight. Then there was a sway of the crowd to the left, and I managed to get a toe on the floor and force myself upwards. I was desperately struggling to keep my mouth up high so I could keep breathing. I am 6'1", and if I had been just a few inches shorter, I would have died. I kept looking around and coming back to this fellow in front of me. His face was going blue."
When the pressure from behind finally eased, Parsonage fell to the ground. Someone assisted him to his feet, and "I turned around straight away and tried to help somebody else, but my leg wouldn't hold me up," he says. Afraid that he was in the way of rescuers, he found a place to sit and didn't move for an hour and a half. "I can't remember any sound until at some point one guy put his arms around me. I started shaking and crying because I knew very well I could have been dead. I could see all these people being carried away like dolls in a toy shop, with arms hanging all over the place."
A short while later Parsonage managed to limp back to his friends. Driven home, he saw his wife and then went to the hospital for X rays of his injured leg. Doctors found no fracture and gave him a sedative. "But I couldn't sleep," he says. "I just couldn't get the images out of my mind. I still wake up crying in the middle of the night and see that guy's face in front of me. At the stadium, I think I was crying because I was alive. Now I don't know. I think I am crying for the dead."

Wishlist for Next XOOPS
From XOOPS Web Application System
What's Next
After the release of XOOPS 2.0.18, the XOOPS Core Development Team is moving on to XOOPS 2.3 and XOOPS 3.
Keep the essence of XOOPS
For next releases of XOOPS, we will keep the essence of our CMS :
- easy at use (out of the box concept)
- powerfull API/toolbox for developers
- secure
- modular
- scalable (from personal to heavy traffic websites)
- object oriented
We also will keep the essence of our project :
- community driven (it's at first a community : we believe in the true 'powered by you' concept)
- open source (we recognize the power of knowledge sharing)
- professional (we want to promote quality in everything we do)
Moreover, in these releases, we will work specificaly on those area :
- merge all dev branches into one
- speed display,
- rewritting of basic features : image manager, WYSIWYG, etc.
- compatibility with latest version of PHP/Mysql
- extend the OO orientation and rewritte/improve all parts of core code
For the other features, we would like you to specify your needs and help us to build the detailed roadmap. Let's read below some explanations about next releases /branches goals.
XOOPS 2.3 will be the merge of XOOPS 2.0* and 2.2*, which has been expected by all XOOPS community.
XOOPS 3.0 is the brand-new version of next XOOPS. It would be towards a web application and development platform providing any feature we could imagine, kidding and seriously.
What's the difference between XOOPS 2.3 and 3.0
As explained above, XOOPS 2.3 will mainly be for maintenance while 3.0 will be for creativity, but it is not so clearly separated. A new feature desired in XOOPS 3.0 could be implemented 2.3 experimentally in case necessary.
However, we must be aware that regardless the feature differences:
- XOOPS 3.0 requires PHP 5.2+ and MySQL 5.0+, not supporting PHP 4 or MySQL 3.*/4.*;
- XOOPS 2.3 will be PHP 4 compatible and supporting MySQL 3.23+, as well as experimental implementation of features that not design ready for XOOPS 3.0.
