PORTLAND, OREGON (TICKER) —Rasheed Wallace returned from suspension and the Portland Trail Blazers used the Chicago Bulls to bounce back from their record-setting woes.
Wallace matched his season high with five 3-pointers and scored 28 points and Dale Davis added 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Trail Blazers increased their home winning streak against the Bulls to four games with a 107-94 victory.
Portland's leading scorer and rebounder, Wallace had missed the previous seven games after being suspended by the league for confronting referee Tim Donaghy in the loading dock of the Rose Garden following a victory over Memphis on January 15.
"(Chicago) was a good team," said Wallace, who has just five technical fouls this season. "Both teams played hard. God bless and good night, that's all I got to say. I ain't saying (crap) about what happened because there was no judgemnt there, so that's it."
"I think his composure has been there all year long," Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks said. "It's unfortunate for him because now it's made his temper still a factor, and I'm sure that's not the case."
The Trail Blazers matched the worst half and posted the worst fourth quarter in franchise history Wednesday, scoring just 24 points in the second half and nine in the final period of a 95-71 loss to the Utah Jazz.
Wallace collected seven points during Portland's 10-2 run early in the third quarter. The two-time All-Star nailed a jumper to cap the burst with 9:42 to go and opened a 64-54 cushion for the Trail Blazers.
"As you can see, Rasheed's a big part of our team," Cheeks said. "I think the guys really tried to make a focus and get the ball to him, allowing him to get into the flow early."
Derek Anderson's jumper with 5:05 remaining in the third period completed an 11-2 run and increased the lead to 79-63.
Jalen Rose scored 16 points to lead six players in double figures for the Bulls, who fell to a league-worst 2-22 on the road this season.
"Anytime you are playing a team like Portland, who's probably one of the most talented teams in the league, and they get Rasheed Wallace back, it's just tough for us to overcome that emotion they played with," Rose said.
Chicago's Marcus Fizer suffered a right knee sprain and left the game with 3:28 to play in the fourth. His condition will be re-evaluated on Saturday.
Portland owned a slender two-point lead 37 seconds into the second half when Wallace's jumper sparked the Trail Blazers' first surge.
"We know Rasheed is a good shooter and, for some unknown reason, we were not able to rotate back to him," Bulls coach Bill Cartwright said.
Wallace, who also leads his team in 3-pointers made, nail a shot from beyond the arc 30 seconds later to make it 59-52.
After Bonzi Wells and Rose exchanged jumpers, Wallace hit from the arc again and increased Portland's lead to 10.
"In the third quarter, Wallace came out and was knocking down shots from all over the floor," Rose said. "(Wallace) being able to do that allowed penetration, to make other guys get open shots."
Davis ignited the next run with a pair of free throws. Wells then put home a reverse layup with just over seven minutes remaining in the period and gave Portland a 72-61 advantage.
The Trail Blazers still led by 11 when Wallace nailed a jumper and Anderson hit from the arc to give Portland its largest lead, 79-63.
Anderson had 14 points and six assists, and Arvydas Sabonis chipped in 13 off the bench.

Pro Tools 8 Essential Training unveils the inner workings of the industry-standard software for music and post-production. Musician, producer, and educator David Franz demonstrates all the concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in Pro Tools 8. He teaches how to create music with virtual instruments and plug-ins, edit with elastic audio for time and pitch manipulation, create a musical score, and mix with effects loops. This course can help any music producer, sound engineer, or hobbyist become proficient in Pro Tools 8. Exercise files accompany the course.
Bouncing in Pro Tools means to combine all of the tracks in your Pro Tools session into one file. When you're ready to bounce and mix up your songs so you can burn it to a CD or make an MP3 to post online, here's what you do. First, in the Edit window, highlight the length of time that you want your song to be. What I usually like to do is set up a marker at the very beginning and at the very end of the time that I want to bounce. So, what I can do is click on this one marker, press Shift and click on the other marker, and the time between these two markers is selected. That will be my entire bounce length. Then you go to the File menu, choose Bounce to > Disk, and you get the Bounce to Disk window. In this window, there are specific settings you need to choose to make a file that can be burned onto an audio CD.
Let's start from top to bottom. First, we have the Bounce Source. Choose the main stereo outputs of your Pro Tools system. Often this is just Analog 1-2, which is usually the default in this window. Next, go down to File Type, and in this case, we'd actually choose either WAV or AIF to bounce to a file if we want it to be on a CD. Next, we go down to the Format, and in this case we want to create a Stereo Interleaved file. Those are the kinds that are able to be burned on to a CD.
We'll choose 16-bit and 44.1 kilohertz as the Sampling Rate. Those fit the specs of a CD. Since this particular session is actually a 16-bit 44.1 kilohertz session, we don't need to convert it to any other bit depth or sampling rate. So, this will just be grayed out, the Conversion Quality. However, if we had a session that was at a different bit rate or sampling rate, we would have to choose a Conversion Quality here.
Finally, down here we have the Conversion Options, and I think you should choose Convert After Bounce. When you choose Convert After Bounce, Pro Tools converts the Bounce track to the desired file type after the Bounce process takes place. If you choose Convert During Bounce, that can eat up a lot of system resources and could reduce the number of plug-ins that you can use while you're bouncing. That's why I always choose the setting, Convert After Bounce. Now, we can go ahead and click the Bounce button and Pro Tools will ask you where you want to save the file. I'm going to go ahead and save it to the Desktop and we'll call it bounce1. As soon as I click Save, the real time bounce will start, and this is a great opportunity to do a quality check of your mix. Let's have a listen. (Music playing.) So, there you go. There is the process for bouncing down an audio file so that you can burn it onto a CD. Now, what if you want to make an MP3? Well, the process is a little bit different. First you need to make sure that you have got the MP3 option installed.
Pro Tools come with the free 30-day trial of the MP3 Encoder. After that, you're actually going to have to buy the authorization code from Digidesign. If you have one already, copy the MP3. bundle file into your Codecs folder to try before you buy. That's actually located here within your Pro Tools folder in the Codecs folder in the MP3 folder. For Windows users, check out the file name and path in the overlay here. Now, I highly recommend buying the MP3 option because it produces very high quality files. With the MP3 option installed, you can create an MP3 file in the same way as described earlier. We just need to change the File Type to MP3 in the Bounce to Disk dialog box. So, simply go up here, choose File Type as MP3. We keep Stereo Interleaved and everything else the same.
This time when we click Bounce, the MP3 Settings dialog opens and you can name your MP3 and give it other metadata, such as information about the artist and the album etcetera. You can also choose the Encoding Speed as well as the Constant Bit Rate. The higher the bit rate the higher the quality of MP3 and the larger the size of the MP3 file.
The default setting of 128 kilobits per second is a good compromise between quality and size where each minute of a song roughly equates to a megabyte in file size. So, if we click OK and save the file, it will start the Bounce process again. So, now you know how to bounce down your session to a stereo audio file that you can burn onto a CD or post as an MP3.

Mac users of AVCHD camcorders can now losslessly edit their video without transcoding it to a more standard format--Neo Scene, a windows app designed for this purpose, is now out for Mac. [Cineform] (Sorry about this post's original headline, which suggested this was the *only* thing on Mac that could edit AVCHD. Many apologies, readers.)
Neo Scene AVCHD editing software out for Mac
• Discuss this post in our forums
3 Responses to "Neo Scene AVCHD editing software out for Mac"
Did you actually look at the page?
"With Neo Scene you will convert your difficult-to-edit HDV or AVCHD camera footage to CineForm AVI files and then benefit from the same theatrical quality format and real-time editing performance as professionals."
i.e. it does transcode, it just does so losslessly.
Or, you know, just use iMovie. Or Final Cut Express. Or Final Cut Pro. Lots of AVCHD support listed on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#2
Umm. 100% wrong really. As big a fan as I am of Cineform's products (it's an excellent RED intermediate codec) this is transcoding software. It does NOT allow for native AVCHD editing. Given the extremely long-GOP nature of AVCHD that would be very difficult (you couldn't even achieve frame accurate cuts without processing).
FCP's 'log and transfer' function allows you to do the same thing – transcode to Pro Res for editing. For $129 you can transcode to Cineform's own (excellent) codec, and get a cool progressive look from your crappy compressed HD footage if you like. Yay!
A correction, please Rob?

"I personalized this thank you card with my, my husband and our daughter's names. The paper was textured - which I loved - but may not work for some people depending on the pen you'd like to use. The colors were beautiful. Truly a lovely thank you card."
"Love this for my little one on the way. I will certainly be getting the matching announcements once she makes her arrival! The pink and gray are the colors I have chosen for her nursery too so it worked great!"
"This is a very nice card. The card stock is heavy, like other Tiny Prints cards. This particular piece is nice because it is relatively simple and leaves a lot of space to write the note."
"I love these cards, bought them for my newborn to say thank you to friends and relatives. The paper quality is top notch and the design is simple and cute... would make a great gift for a shower if you already know the baby's name."
"Rich, beautiful color and printing. Paper quality is superb. A stunning, elegant notecard for all ages and occasions. Definitely going to grow with my daughter and so glad we ordered a large number!"

tylenol for fussiness?
Megan & Jason married 6/18/09
DD--Born at 32w4d on 6/10/12. She is home and doing great!!
Mama to Liam, a miracle 23wkr!
I'd try a little gripe water. It really helps with my LO is fussy & it's all natural.
Tylenol is not for fussiness, it's for pain or fever. It has side effects to include liver damage. The dose changes based on weight and I cannot imagine your pediatrician saying that this is okay. Honestly? This is just not okay. Preemies are fragile as it is and this is wrong. Every parent has their own style, but as a former CPS worker, I would be making findings if I was given a case where a parent was doing this. Giving a baby medication for unintended purposes is illegal- YOU taking medications for it's unintended purpose is illegal as well. Now, if you are giving your baby Tylenol because they are teething, I can understand that but it's a little early for that to be occuring. Please stop using the Tylenol.
Personally, a lot of the time the gripe water we recently purchased isn't enough to soothe my son. We use tylenol to help ease the pain that his gas is causing. I think it's alright as long as there's a legitimate reason for giving the baby the medicine. My son has really bad gas issues and sometimes this is the only way to get him to settle down and get some rest because of all the discomfort he's in. I certainly don't think you're a bad mother for doing this.

Organizational capacity building in emergency management operations in developing countries Presented in the following section is a Case Study from Chapter 2 as an example of the case studies to be included in the book: 9 Case Study 2.1: TsunamiReady – An Effective Tsunami Preparedness Program The Tsunami Hazard A tsunami (pronounced "soo-nah-mee") is a series of waves generated by an undersea disturbance such as an earthquake. The term tsunami is Japanese in origin, represented by two characters: "tsu" (harbor) and "nami" (wave). Tsunamis are often referred to, incorrectly, as "tidal waves." In truth, tides result from the gravitational influences of the moon, sun, and planets, a phenomenon that has absolutely nothing to do with the generation of tsunamis (although the ultimate height of a tsunami striking a coastal area is determined by the tide level at the time of impact.) There are many events that result in the generation of a tsunami, but earthquakes are the most prevalent. Other forces that generate the great waves include landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and though extremely rare, the impact of extra-terrestrial objects, such as meteorites. Tsunamis are generated when a large area of water is displaced, either by a shift in the sea floor as would occur following an earthquake, or by the introduction of mass, as described in the other generative forms listed above. Waves are formed as the displaced water mass attempts to regain its equilibrium. It is important to note that not all earthquakes generate tsunamis; to do so, earthquakes must occur underneath or near the ocean, be large in magnitude (studies have indicated a minimum 6.9 on the Richter Scale), and create movements in the sea floor. While all oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis, the countries lying in the Pacific Rim region face a much greater frequency of large, destructive tsunamis because of the presence of numerous large earthquakes in the seismically active "Ring of Fire". From the area of the disturbance, the resulting waves that are generated will travel outward in all directions, much like the ripples caused by a rock thrown into standing water. The time between wave crests can range from as little as 5 to as many as 90 minutes, and the wave speed in the open ocean will average a staggering 450 to 600 miles per hour. Tsunamis reaching heights of more than 100 feet have been recorded. In the open ocean, tsunamis are virtually undetectable to most ships in their path. As the waves approach the shallow coastal waters, they appear normal but their speed decreases significantly. The compression of the wave resulting from the decrease in ocean depth causes the wave to rise in height and crash onto land – often with great destruction, injuries and death as the result. (NTHMP, 2003) Tim Folger, in his article "Waves of Destruction", described the generation of tsunamis. He wrote, "As the tsunami wave reaches the shallower water above a continental shelf, friction with the shelf slows the front of the wave. As the tsunami approaches shore, the 10 trailing waves pile onto the waves in front of them, like a rug crumpled against a wall creating a wave that may rise up to 30 feet before hitting the shore. Although greatly slowed, a tsunami still bursts onto land at speeds of around 35 miles per hour, with enough momentum to flatten buildings and trees and to carry ships miles inland." (Folger, 1994) The areas facing the greatest risk from the tsunami hazard are those populated centers that lie within one mile of the coastline and rise less than 50 feet above sea level. It is in these areas that public education and planning for tsunamis has been focused. Misinformation about tsunamis can be deadly, as has been exhibited when people have fled an initial tsunami wave of a series, only to be killed upon returning too soon by successive waves that followed. Strange phenomena that precede a tsunami, such as the ocean receding for 100s of feet exposing the ocean floor, have resulted in the death of misinformed citizens who ventured out to explore, only to be drowned in a sudden return of water height. The following list provides a small sample of the range of tsunami experiences that have occurred within the United States and Canada: In 1964, an Alaskan earthquake generated a tsunami with waves between 10 and 20 feet high along parts of the California, Oregon, and Washington coasts. This tsunami caused more than $84 million in damage in Alaska and a total of 123 fatalities. Although tsunamis are rare along the Atlantic coastline, a severe earthquake on November 18, 1929, in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland generated a tsunami that caused considerable damage and loss of life at Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. In 1946, a tsunami with waves of 20 to 32 feet crashed into Hilo, Hawaii, flooding the downtown area and killing 159 people. Most deaths during a tsunami are a result of drowning. Other risks associated with the tsunami hazard include flooding, polluted water supplies, destruction of crops, business interruption, loss of infrastructure (roads, electrical lines, etc.), and damaged gas lines. Since 1945, more people have been killed as a result of tsunamis than as a direct result of an earthquake"s ground shaking. Presently, the National Oceanic &Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) participates in the Tsunami Warning System, operating two Tsunami Warning Centers. The Alaska/West Coast Tsunami Warning Center (ATWC) in Palmer, Alaska, serves as the regional Tsunami Warning Center for Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, serves as the regional Tsunami Warning Center for Hawaii and as a national/international warning center for tsunamis that pose a Pacific-wide threat. (NTHMP, 2003) An important part of the effort to reduce the impacts of tsunamis in these high-risk areas has been public education and community preparedness. Early efforts included the identification and marking of public evacuation routes, teaching supplies provided to 11 schools, and literature distributed to the population at large. However, a more comprehensive program was needed, and the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) developed the TsunamiReady program to address this need. The TsunamiReady Program TsunamiReady is an initiative that promotes tsunami hazard preparedness as an active collaboration among Federal, state and local emergency management agencies, the public, and the NWS tsunami warning system. This collaboration functions for the purpose of supporting better and more consistent tsunami awareness and mitigation efforts among communities at risk. Through the TsunamiReady program, NOAA"s National Weather Service gives communities the skills and education needed to survive a tsunami before, during and after the event. TsunamiReady was designed to help community leaders and emergency managers strengthen their local tsunami operations. (NOAA, N/D) The TsunamiReady program is based on the NWS StormReady model (which can be viewed by accessing http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/). The primary goal of TsunamiReady is the improvement of public safety during tsunami emergencies. As stated above, TsunamiReady is designed for those coastal communities that are at known risk of the tsunami hazard (tsunami hazard risk maps can be seen by accessing http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tsunami/time/). Traditionally, tsunami hazard planning along the U.S. West Coast and Alaska has been widely neglected because of the statistically-low incidence of tsunamis. As result of that perceived "rarity", many individuals and communities have not worked to become as "tsunami-aware" as they could and should be. Among those communities that are considered to be prepared, that level of exhibited preparedness varies significantly (NWS, N/D). However, as is true with the earthquakes and other rare events that generate tsunamis, avoidable casualties and property damage will only continue to rise unless these at-risk communities become better prepared for tsunamis. As previously mentioned, readiness involves two key components: awareness and mitigation. Awareness involves educating key decision makers, emergency managers, and the public about the nature (physical processes) and threat (frequency of occurrence, impact) of the tsunami hazard, while mitigation involves taking steps before the tsunami occurs to lessen the impact (loss of life and property) of that event when it does occur. Like is true with earthquakes, there is no question tsunamis will strike again. The National Weather Service (NWS) TsunamiReady program was designed to meet both of the recognized elements of a useful readiness effort: it is designed to educate local emergency management officials and their public, and to promote a well-designed tsunami emergency response plan for each community. 12 Program Objectives TsunamiReady promotes tsunami hazard readiness as an active collaboration among Federal, state and local emergency management agencies, the public, and the NWS tsunami warning system. This collaboration supports better and more consistent tsunami awareness and mitigation efforts among communities at risk. The main goal is improvement of public safety during tsunami emergencies. To meet this goal, the following objectives need to be met by the community: Create minimum standard guidelines for a community to follow for adequate tsunami readiness Encourage consistency in educational materials and response among communities and states Recognize communities that have adopted TsunamiReady guidelines Increase public awareness and understanding of the tsunami hazard Improve community pre-planning for tsunami disasters Program Methodology The processes and guidelines used in the TsunamiReady program were modeled to resemble those of the National Weather Service "StormReady" program. TsunamiReady established minimum guidelines for a community to be awarded the TsunamiReady recognition, thus promoting minimum standards based upon expert knowledge rather than subjective considerations. Communities that accept the challenge to become TsunamiReady, and are deemed to have met these requirements set by the NWS TsunamiReady program, are designated as "TsunamiReady Communities." Guidelines to achieve TsunamiReady recognition are given in the following table, and discussed in detail in the pages immediately following. Four community categories (based upon the population of the community, and provided in the table"s heading) are used to measure tsunami readiness. Note the Guideline 3 has been skipped as it refers exclusively to the StormReady program, which shares these guidelines with the TsunamiReady program. This is a key factor to consider, as it ensures by default that all communities that are StormReady will also be TsunamiReady (as of 2002). As such, all communities being certified for TsunamiReady also must pass all StormReady criteria. StormReady requires access to local weather monitoring equipment (Guideline 3) and some further administrative requirements (Guideline 6). Other than that, the requirements are identical. Guidelines Population 2,500 - 15,000 - < 2,500 >40,000 14,999 40,000 1: Communications and Coordination 24 hr Warning Point (WP) X X X X 13 Emergency Operations Center X X X 2: Tsunami Warning Reception Number of ways for EOC/WP to receive NWS tsunami messages (If in range, one 3 4 4 4 must be NWR with tone-alert, NWR- SAME is preferred) 4: Warning Dissemination Number of ways for EOC/WP to 1 2 3 4 disseminate warnings to public NWR tone-alert receivers in public X X X X facilities (where available) For county/borough warning points, county/borough communication network X X X X ensuring information flow between communities 5: Community Preparedness Number of annual tsunami awareness 1 2 3 4 programs Designate/establish tsunami shelter/area X X X X in safe zone Designate tsunami evacuation areas and evacuation routes, and install evacuation X X X X route signs Provide written, locality specific, tsunami X X X X hazard response material to public.

This could not be truer when considering tsunami-related emergencies, 14 since the arrival of the giant waves can occur within minutes of the initial precipitating event. These so-called "short-fused" events, therefore, require an immediate, but careful, systematic and appropriate response. To ensure such a proper response, TsunamiReady requires that communities establish the following: 1. 24-Hour Warning Point. It is the NWS, not the community, which determines a Tsunami threat exists. Therefore, in order to receive recognition under the TsunamiReady Program, an applying agency needs to establish a 24-hour warning point (WP) that can receive NWS tsunami information in addition to providing local reports and advice to constituents. Typically, the functions of this type of facility are merely incorporated into the existing daily operation of a law enforcement or fire department dispatching (Emergency Communications Center (ECC)) point. For cities or towns without a local dispatching point, a county agency could act in that capacity for them. In Alaska, where there may be communities that have populations of less than 2,500 residents and no county agency to act as a 24-hour warning point, the community is required to designate responsible members of the community who are able to receive warnings 24 hours per day, and who have the authority to activate local warning systems. Specifically, the warning point is required to have: 24-hour operations. Warning reception capability. Warning dissemination capability. Ability and authority to activate local warning system(s). 2. Emergency Operations Center. Agencies serving jurisdictions larger than 2,500 people are required to have the ability to activate an emergency operations center (EOC). It must be staffed during tsunami events to execute the warning point's tsunami warning functions. The following list summarizes the tsunami-related roles required of the EOC: Activate, based on predetermined guidelines related to NWS tsunami information and/or tsunami events. Staff with emergency management director or designee. Establish warning reception/dissemination capabilities equal to or better than the warning point. Maintain the ability to communicate with adjacent EOCs/Warning Points. Maintain the ability to communicate with local NWS office or Tsunami Warning Center. Guideline 2: Tsunami Warning Reception Warning points and EOCs each need multiple ways to receive NWS tsunami warnings. TsunamiReady guidelines to receive NWS warnings in an EOC/WP require a combination of the following, based on population: 15 NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) receiver with tone alert. Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is preferred. Required for recognition only if within range of transmitter. NOAA Weather Wire drop: Satellite downlink data feed from NWS. Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) receiver: Satellite feed and/or VHF radio transmission of NWS products. Statewide Telecommunications System: Automatic relay of NWS products on statewide emergency management or law enforcement system Statewide warning fan-out system: State authorized system of passing message throughout warning area NOAA Weather Wire via Internet NOAAport Lite: Provides alarmed warning messages through a dedicated Internet connection Direct link to NWS office: e.g. amateur or VHF radio E-mail from Tsunami Warning Center: Direct e-mail from Warning Center to emergency manager Pager message from Tsunami Warning Center: Page issued from Warning Center directly to EOC/WP Radio/TV via Emergency Alert System: Local Radio/TV or cable TV US Coast Guard broadcasts: WP/EOC monitoring of USCG marine channels National Warning System (NAWAS) drop: FEMA-controlled civil defense hotline Guideline 4: Warning Dissemination 1. Upon receipt of NWS warnings or other reliable information suggesting a tsunami is imminent, local emergency officials must be able to communicate this threat information with as much of the population as possible. This is fundamental to making the preparedness program effective. As such, receiving TsunamiReady recognition requires that communities have one or more of the following means of ensuring timely warning dissemination to their citizens (based upon population, as described in the table above): A community program that subsidizes the purchase of NWR. (NWR receiver with tone alert. SAME is preferred. Required for recognition only if within range of transmitter.) Outdoor warning sirens. Television audio/video overrides. Other locally-controlled methods, e.g. local broadcast system or emergency vehicles. Phone messaging (dial-down) systems. 2. It is required that at least one NWR, equipped with a tone alert receiver, be located in each critical public access and government-owned building, and must include 24 hour warning point, EOC, School Superintendent office or equivalent. Critical public access buildings are defined by each community's tsunami warning plan. Locations that are recommended for inclusion by the NWS include: all schools, public libraries, hospitals, fairgrounds, parks and recreational areas, public utilities, sports arenas, Departments of 16 Transportation, and designated shelter areas. (SAME is preferred. This is required for recognition only if the community exists within range of a transmitter.) 3. Counties/Boroughs only: a county/borough-wide communications network ensuring the flow of information among all cities and towns within those administrative borders. This would include provision of a warning point for the smaller towns, and fanning out of the message as required by state policy. Guideline 5: Community Preparedness Public education is vital in preparing citizens to respond properly to tsunami threats. An educated public is more likely to take the steps required to receive tsunami warnings, recognize potentially threatening tsunami events when they exist, and respond appropriately to those events. Therefore, communities that are seeking recognition in the TsunamiReady Program must be able to: Conduct or sponsor tsunami awareness programs in schools, hospitals, fairs, workshops, and community meetings (the actual number of talks that must be given each year is based upon the community"s population). Define tsunami evacuation areas and evacuation routes, and install evacuation route signs. Designate a tsunami shelter/area outside the hazard zone. Provide written tsunami hazard information to the populace, including: o Hazard zone maps o Evacuation routes o Basic tsunami information These instructions can be distributed through mailings (utility bills, for example), within phone books, and posted at common meeting points located throughout the community, such as libraries, supermarkets, and public buildings. Local schools must meet the following guidelines: o Encourage the inclusion of tsunami information in primary and secondary school curriculums. NWS will help identify curriculum support material. o Provide an opportunity biennially for a tsunami awareness presentation. o Schools within the defined hazard zone must have tsunami evacuation drills at least biennially. o Written safety material should be provided to all staff and students. o Have an earthquake plan. Guideline 6: Administrative No program can be successful without formal planning and a proactive administration. The following administrative requirements are necessary for a community to be recognized in the TsunamiReady Program: 17 1. A tsunami warning plan must be in place and approved by the local governing body. This plan must address the following: Warning point procedures. EOC activation guidelines and procedures. Warning point and EOC personnel specification. Hazard zone map with evacuation routes. Procedures for canceling an emergency for those less-than-destructive tsunamis. Guidelines and procedures for activation of sirens, cable TV override, and/or local system activation in accordance with state Emergency Alert System (EAS) plans, and warning fan-out procedures, if necessary. Annual exercises. 2. Yearly visits or discussions with local NWS Forecast Office Warning Coordination Meteorologist or Tsunami Warning Center personnel must be conducted. This can include a visit to the NWS office, a phone discussion, or e-mail communication. 3. NWS officials will commit to visit accredited communities, at least every other year, to tour EOCs/Warning Points and meet with key officials. Administration of the TsunamiReady Program Oversight of the TsunamiReady program is accomplished within the NWS by the National StormReady Board (The Board). The Board is responsible for changes in community recognition guidelines. Proposed guideline changes shall be directed to the Board for action. The Board consists of the NWS Regional Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) Program Leaders, the National WCM Program Manager, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) representative, a National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) representative, and an International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) representative. Oversight of the TsunamiReady program at the local level is provided by the appropriate Local StormReady board. The Local StormReady board has the authority to enhance TsunamiReady to fit regional situations. At a minimum, this board consists of: NWS Weather Forecast Office's Meteorologist-in-Charge NWS Weather Forecast Office's Warning Coordination Meteorologist State emergency service director or designee Local emergency management association president or designee Tsunami Warning Center's Geophysicist-in-Charge Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program representative The Local StormReady Board is responsible for all steps leading to the recognition of the TsunamiReady community. This includes implementing procedures for site verification visits and application review. 18 Benefits of the TsunamiReady Program The following benefits of participation in the TsunamiReady Community program include: The community is more prepared for the tsunami hazard Regularly scheduled education forums increase public awareness of existing dangers Contact with experts (emergency managers, researchers, NWS personnel) is increased and likewise, enhanced Community readiness resource needs are identified Positioning to receive State and Federal funds is improved Core infrastructure to support other community concerns is enhanced The public is allowed the opportunity to see first-hand how their tax money is being spent in hazard programs Conclusion Through the TsunamiReady program, NOAA"s National Weather Service gives communities the skills and education needed to survive a tsunami before, during and after the event. TsunamiReady helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen their local tsunami operations. TsunamiReady communities are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of a tsunami through better planning, education and awareness. Communities have fewer fatalities and property damage if they plan before a tsunami arrives. No community is tsunami proof, but TsunamiReady can help communities save lives. References: FEMA. 2004.

Sand Festival on Saturday June 30, 2001, the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), honored officials representing both the city of Ocean Shores and Grays Harbor County for their efforts in simultaneously earning the nation's first "TsunamiReady" and "StormReady" designations for their communities. During the ceremony, Scott Gudes, NOAA's acting administrator, said, "Today we are making history. We are honoring the State of Washington, its elected and appointed officials, for completing a process that enables them to better protect its citizens from severe weather and tsunamis. These communities have demonstrated a strong commitment to putting the infrastructure and systems in place that will save lives and protect property in the event of these damaging and hazardous events." City and county officials received both "StormReady" and "TsunamiReady" road signs from NOAA officials. The road signs are posted to inform residents and travelers that this is a NWS recognized "StormReady and TsunamiReady" community. Many local and state representatives were also on hand to witness the unique ceremony and view the informational exhibits on the beach staffed by weather and disaster related agencies. Vickie Nadolski, NWS Western Region director, emphasized the key safety message is awareness. "If there is an earthquake in or near a seaside community such as Ocean Shores, people do not understand the importance of moving to higher ground or inland immediately in case a tsunami occurs." Nadolski pointed out local evacuation signs tell residents and visitors to seek higher ground after they feel an earthquake. She said the Pacific Northwest is prone to earthquakes. "We are here to help people understand if they live in or participate in recreational activities in this region, they must know how to protect themselves from Mother Nature's fury that can range from tsunamis to high wind and surf, flooding events and dense fog in coastal areas." The recent Feb 28 Nisqually earthquake was recently named the state of Washington's costliest natural disaster, even when compared to the winter flooding of 1996. Officials have approved nearly $105 million to assist people whereas about $85 million in assistance was distributed following the winter flooding of 1996. "When severe weather is headed our way, we encourage you to tune in to NOAA Weather Radio or local media for the latest reports," said Chris Hill, meteorologist in charge of the NWS forecast office in Seattle. "We want to have people know how to 20 protect themselves from a variety of severe weather. During the 1990s, Washington experienced 19 Federally declared disasters and dozens more local disasters. When disasters occur, a "StormReady" or "TsunamiReady" community will be better prepared and will gain the most benefit for its citizens." "StormReady" and "TsunamiReady" are voluntary preparedness programs providing communities with clear-cut advice on how to best use a grassroots approach and develop plans to handle local severe weather threats from floods, wind storms, or snow storms. "StormReady" and "TsunamiReady" will also strengthen a community's ability to receive and use severe weather watches and warnings from the NWS. To receive the "StormReady" and "TsunamiReady" designation, this community had to be approved by an advisory board made up of local county emergency managers, representatives from Washington State Emergency Management and the National Weather Service. The Sand Festival draws master sand castle sculpting teams and several thousand onlookers. One of the entries this year featured a tsunami wave and larger-than-life replica of the tsunami evacuation route. For more information about the "StormReady" program, please visit http://www.stormready.noaa.gov. . Each NWS forecast office posts daily forecasts and severe weather warnings on their Web pages.

Identify the early efforts in tsunami public education and community preparedness. 2. What is the goal of the National Weather Service TsunamiReady program? 3. Name the three principal groups that collaborate in TsunamiReady to promote tsunami hazard readiness. 4. Identify the five guidelines used in the TsunamiReady Program. 5. Identify and discuss the two critical elements in the Communications and Coordination Center. 6. Discuss the actions involved in the Community Preparedness guideline. 28 7. Discuss possible obstacles communities might face in their drive to become TsunamiReady Glossary of Terms Pacific Rim - referring to countries and economies bordering the Pacific ocean, is an informal, flexible term which generally has been regarded as a reference to East Asia, Canada, and the United States. At a minimum, the Pacific Rim includes Canada, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and the United States. It may also include Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong/Macau, Indonesia, Laos, North Korea, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, the Philippines, Russia (or the Commonwealth of Independent States), Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. As an evolutionary term, usage sometimes includes Mexico, the countries of Central America, and the Pacific coast countries of South America. (www.logisticsfocus.com/Glossary/glossary-p.asp) Tsunami - a series of waves generated by an undersea disturbance such as an earthquake. StormReady - NWS designed StormReady to help communities better prepare for and mitigate effects of extreme weather-related events. StormReady also helps establish a commitment to creating an infrastructure and systems that will save lives and protect property. Receiving StormReady recognition does not mean that a community is storm proof, but StormReady communities will be better prepared when severe weather strikes. TsunamiReady - an initiative that promotes tsunami hazard preparedness as an active collaboration among Federal, state and local emergency management agencies, the public, and the NWS tsunami warning system. Suggested Out Of Class Exercises 1. Find out if your community is StormReady or Tsunami Ready. This can be done by accessing http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/communities.htm. If it is, interview your local manager about the difficulties they encountered in establishing StormReady in their jurisdiction. Find out if they plan to renew their status. If the community is not StormReady, discuss with the emergency manager the why the community is not storm ready, and find out what it would take to attain StormReady or TsunamiReady (if a Pacific coastal community) status. 2. Find out what disaster preparedness public education is conducted in your community. Check with local and state government agencies, as well as non- governmental agencies (i.e., the American Red Cross). Suggest to your local emergency manager an event that could be held or a publication that could be developed that would help members of the community prepare for a risk for which they are vulnerable. 29 3. Design a simple disaster preparedness tool that could be used in primary or secondary schools in your community. Discuss with your emergency manager the possibility of distributing the publication to the community"s schools. 4. Talk to a students in a local school about individual and family disaster preparedness. 5. Find out if your college or university is currently offering FEMA EMI courses. If not, meet with representatives from your school to see if such courses could be offered, and help to implement them. 6. Research the EMI Independent study courses online. Select one or more that you are interested in taking, and take the test for certification. Find out from your college or university if the course credits are transferable. 30

Businessman, billionaire, royalty and most recently Manchester City owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahayan's impressive network consists of a number of familiar faces.
November 5, 2010 10:00 by kippreport
Relatively unknown in the international media, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahayan's recent dealings with football club Manchester City have elevated him to status of household name amongst football fans worldwide. The prince, who bought the Premiership club from former Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, is the fifth of nineteen sons of Sheikh Zayed, the UAE's first president. Educated in the US, Sheikh Mansour's portfolio of investments, though varied, have proven to be extremely lucrative. Barely seven months after he bought an eleven percent stake in Barclays, Sheikh Mansour made a profit estimated at £1.4 billion on selling his stake in the bank.
When he isn't sealing profitable investment deals, the prince tends to more local matters in his capacity as the Minister for U.A.E. Presidential Affairs and the chairman of Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Company, the Emirates Horseracing Authority and First Gulf Bank. Quite possibly one of the Gulf's shrewdest businessmen, Sheikh Mansour has admitted that he has had "a lifelong passion" for football and all things sports related. In fact, Sheikh Mansour, who used to play football in his younger days, was greatly involved in the running of Abu Dhabi's Al Jazeera club. Plus he's said to be a highly accomplished horseman. A closer look at the prince reveals a network as varied as his interests. Click 'next' to see Sheikh Mansour's network.

When I started reading your article, I figured this would be the same old boring content I had been reading. I was completely wrong. Your article made this topic more clear in an interesting way.
I have seen articles like this before on this subject. You have definitely thought this through to come up with such interesting and unique views.

However 2Billion is a big stretch.
Whenever I get called in to cleanup unwanted malware from the PCs of family and friends it is most commonly search hijacking by Yahoo.
This increasingly desperate behaviour is ultimately counter productive, the Yahoo brand is trash and some friends actually call the search hijacking they suffer the "Yahoo Virus".
SourceForge, the code repository site owned by Slashdot Media, has apparently seized control of the account hosting GIMP for Windows on the service, according to e-mails and discussions amongst members of the GIMP community—locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer. And now anyone downloading the Windows version of the open source image editing tool from SourceForge gets the software wrapped in an installer replete with advertisements.
If Britain exited the EU we would be subject to an economic disaster.
However the problem is we look set to be steered into this be minority interests of the likes or Murdock and Barclay Brothers that control the UK media and see their old school power base slipping away under increased integration. The mass media is full of fabricated up news about the EU banning bent bananas and imposing the 'French' metric system which as in reality invented by John Wilkins, a Brit.
People, neither teachers nor pupils are not standardised components. This is blatantly ridiculous plan.
In my experience the so called "10x Programmers" are excellent examples of the Dunning Kruger effect at work.
Their work is usually hacked together rubbish that is neither well tested and intractable.
I find the Officers attitude refreshingly pragmatic and progressive and very untypical.
Why does this topic remind me of Dark Star

We had the 'cheap' room so we were transferred to the 80s. The linen and doona were very old but it was our last night in Tokyo and it's very close to Shinagawa station and Haneda airport. For the price we paid, if we had another night, we will definitely stayed in Shinjuku instead.

Just a regular nail polish - not of particularly high quality or color vibrancy. I will use the sample but will not purchase additional of this brand.
I'm in the middle of the road on this product. The color was pretty and vibrant and covered well on just one coat but it did chip.
I got this in a lovely blue shade... takes 2 coats for me and requires a good bit of drying time... which doesn't hppen too much with 2 small kiddos stepping on my toes! In the few instances that it has managed to cure before smudging, it looks great! Perfect on my tootses!
Not exactly subtle, is it? Great color to have in the collection, though. Too bad it's not for sale anymore, I'd love to snag one more for a friend.
I loved the color range and bright hues the brand offers, but the polish gets clumpy after a few at home mani/pedis. It makes it very hard to apply, and got thrown away.
I got this nail polish in a royal blue color. It is bold and beautiful. I mostly wear on my toes, and with a clear coat and flip flops it lasts weeks.
I love the color. It did have a label on the bottle which was a pain to get off. Other than that it arrived safely. Shipping was extremely fast too! Looking forward to using it.
Great nail polish; stays on, doesn't chip, great shimmer to the color and it lasts. What a treat for your nails and toes!!!
This polish is so wonderful. Its a beautiful color, but more importantly, it literally goes on so smoothly, and can be considered ready to go with one coat. Thats amazing to me!
