Named after a Sanskrit word that means both "power" and "child," Bala Vinyasa Yoga teems with poses that are as athletic as they are playful. Experienced teachers draw upon Baron Baptiste's holistic approach to yoga instruction, which aims to transform the body and clear the mind of clutter such as stress and extremely misplaced gym socks. The studio's all-levels Power Vinyasa classes challenge students with deep, focused breaths that link arm stands, backbends, and seated poses to create a flowing, dance-like routine. Slow Flow Restorative sessions, on the other side of that coin, move at a more leisurely pace as they open joints with lengthy poses, which, like eulogies read by Carrot Top, are supported by props. To bolster their home-based yoga practice, students can purchase mats and props at the studio's boutique or practice stretches and bends with its live-streamed classes. Dedicated to comfort and relaxation, the boutique also carries calming lavender eye pillows and cozy apparel from lululemon athletica, Zobha, and I Love Yoga.

A truly bad job strips a person of their dignity, which strips them of their will, which keeps them in said bad job.

'Cup runs and high attendances can help strengthen our squad'
Posted: October 10, 2013
|PAUL Hurst admits most of Grimsby Town's playing budget for the 2013/14 campaign has been spent.
However, the Mariners boss says higher than expected attendances and good cup runs could help to strengthen the squad later in the season.
Town budget for average home gates of 3,300, so attendances similar to Tuesday night's 4,386 will only help boost the coffers.
Meanwhile, the club's FA Cup campaign begins later this month, with their Fourth Qualifying Round opponents due to be announced next week.
"Most of the budget has gone – I felt it needed to be spent to give us a chance," Hurst remarked.
"There's still a bit of money there for loans and things like that, and I've got to see if we can get one or two lads out to get games and bring some finance in as well.
"This year, it certainly seems a little quiet on the loan front in general – there's not an awful lot of movement.
"As I say, there's still a bit of finance there but hopefully if attendances go up or we have a good run in the cup then that can go back into the pot.
"At the moment, though, the squad I've put together is one that I'm happy with."

After more or less taking care of business in the season/home opener against University of Buffalo last week, the Buckeyes again play host, this time to the San Diego State University (SDSU) Aztecs. Last year's Aztec team finishes a respectable 9-4 (7-1 Mountain West Conference) and had a strong finish to their season, winning seven consecutive regular season games.
As fearsome as their mascot is, last week didn't go so well for SDSU. The Aztecs hosted FCS opponent Eastern Illinois (Ohio Valley Conference) and were demolished 40-19. It was an odd game in that SDSU had 440 total yards (318 passing) yet scored only 19 points. I'd suggest that a contributing factor was the Aztec's 5 turnovers; 4 interceptions and 1 fumble. SDSU's defense didn't help matters much by giving up 533 yards; 361 passing, 172 rushing.
Ohio State on Offense
This will be a good game to work out some of the kinks that developed on offense last week. That would involve ironing out the transition between Linsely/Boren at Center, working in Rod Smith into the RB rotation, and perhaps even some Bri'onte Dunn there as well.
The Aztecs gave up a ton of yardage last week (see Introduction) and quite a few TDs. Eastern Illinois spread their scoring among 3 passing TDs, 2 rushing TDs and a punt return TD. The Aztecs run a 3-3-5 scheme, which should sound familiar, but fortunately, no Khalil Mack. Their front three isn't that big, ranging from 6'1"255 to 6'4"275, so it would seem they can be manhandled. The problem is that with their DL being a bit on the shortish side, Coach Warriner's troops need to really focus on staying low to get blocking leverage on SDSU. Once OSU's linemen get engaged in their blocks, running lanes should open up.
With SDSU getting blistered in the passing game last week, I would expect Coach Herman to emphasize the passing game this week as well. There were flashes of it coming together, at least in the first quarter last week, and based on Eastern Illinois' offensive performance, the Buckeyes' passing game should do well.
Ohio State on Defense
The Aztecs are pretty stout across their offensive line, averaging 6'5" and 300 pounds. Although their tailback, Adam Muema was limited to 31 yards last week, last year he provided 1,458 rushing yards on 6.2 YPC and 16 rushing touchdowns. Urban Meyer stated that Muema may be one of the best running backs that OSU faces all year. With numbers like that, it's quite possible.
Their junior quarterback, Adam Dingwell, is not afraid to throw the ball, regardless of the results. Last week he was 27-63 for 318 yards, but 4 INTs. Dingwell was also dinged for 4 sacks. It seems the player to "keep an eye on" is wide receiver Colin Lockett. Last week, he hauled in 8 passes for 98 yards, and also scored a 48 yard rushing TD. Wide receiver Ezell Ruffin caught 4 passes for 91 yards, so he will obviously pose a down field threat. I think the corners need to play a bit more press coverage, and perhaps with Roby returning to the lineup, they will. The Aztecs don't have a tall WR like Buffalo did, but game tape indicates that the short routes did work against the Buckeyes
It will be good to have the Buckeye defense back to full strength for this game. First, the SDSU offense throws the ball quite a bit, so having Brad Roby on the field will be a good thing. The other "keep an eye on" statistic, to me is SDSU's offensive pace. Last week against Eastern Illinois, the Aztecs ran 99 plays from scrimmage. That's right, 99 plays. Coach Marotti would be remiss if the Buckeyes weren't properly hydrated going in to Saturday.
From the SDSU web site, here is a brief highlight reel of their game against Eastern Illinois last week. When you lose 40-19, I've used the the word 'highlight', pretty loosely.
Wrap Up
I'm not sure what to expect this week, aside from an Ohio State victory. From the media video (below) it's clear that SDSU Coach Rocky Long is more concerned about his team's improvement than who they play. It's probably not a bad coaching philosophy, but I think that any tangible improvement by his team may be masked by the quality of the opponent. I see his point, after getting rolled by an FCS team, that he's looking for performance improvement, but I'm a little unclear how that would be measured.
Here is an interesting and enjoyable media interview of SDSU's head coach, Rocky Long, addressing last week's loss against Eastern Illinois and the upcoming game versus Ohio State.
I see the Buckeyes starting out of the gates fast again this week against the Aztecs, but staying more focused on execution for more than one quarter. This time, they need to stay away from the "cuteness" on offense and keep running the plays that work. We know that OSU is deep at running back, are pretty sure they have depth at wide receiver, and have heard they have tight ends on the team.
I believe there is enough variation in OSU's base offense that the Aztec defense won't be "sitting" on a play call. It's not like "Dave" is the only play in Herman's playbook. Our running game worked well last week, and let's do it again against the Aztecs. Long scoring drives, emphasis on scoring, will light up the scoreboard, burn clock and will prevent the Aztecs from running 99 plays on us.
Certain Professionals have estimated that Ohio State should win the contest by 28 points, or approximately 41 – 13. Frankly, I don't see how SDSU keeps OSU less than that number. The Aztecs have the ability to put a significant amount of points on the scoreboard. Just not this Saturday, though.
The game is scheduled for a 3:30 PM EST kickoff. Television coverage is through ABC. Please join us at tBBC for live in-game chat approximately 30 minutes before kickoff. We have a new chat platform this year, and I think that it works very well. And of course, the comments are as insightful and witty as ever. I look forward to seeing you.

AFC Championship: Don't Worry, Baltimore Ravens Fans! Papa John Is Here for You
By Rembert Browne onThis is a rough time to have ties to the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, Tom Brady was doing everything in his power to give the Ravens a spot in the Super Bowl, but they strangely refused to take it. And now that they're out, Baltimore fans (and, I suspect, many of the players) are upset and left with two guys to blame — Billy Cundiff with the missed kick and, more important, Lee Evans with the go-ahead touchdown drop.
The next few days will naturally be filled with hate speech toward these two. (I'd recommend Billy and Lee not return to Baltimore, and instead catch the rest of the Sundance Film Festival, sans Internet, television, or humans who have Internet/televisions.) But the attention of Ravens fans needs to be focused on the good that came out of Sunday's 23-20 loss. Believe it or not, there are a few reasons for Baltimore fans to forcibly turn that frown upside down.
1. Joe Flacco outplayed Tom Brady — and everyone knows it
Flacco didn't have a perfect game, but he did everything he could to put his team in a position to win. And when the game was on the line, Flacco threw the perfect pass. Unfortunately, that perfect pass was dropped, but you can't put an ounce of blame on Joe for that. Yes, he did technically lead his team to a loss, which can't feel good, but based on his performance, Flacco's confidence level has to be moderately high. And, while this sounds horrible, it is probably sort of nice to not be blamed for your team's loss. (Yep. Read it back. Sounds horrible.)
2. Ray Ray is coming back
I was watching the game in semi-Patriots territory, and was repeatedly asked why I was rooting for the Ravens. Unaware that speaking ill against the Pats is the easiest way to be fired from Grantland, my only answer was, "Ray Lewis. I love Ray Lewis." While I'm completely aware of things that may or may not have taken place in a nightclub within the confines of a city that I may or may not be from, in my mind he's the NFL's R. Kelly, which gives me permission to proudly state that he's my favorite player to watch.
I love that Lewis is playing with guys who were learning subtraction when he entered the league, but he's still the leader of the team — both emotionally and by way of production. For the past few years, every upcoming season could have potentially been his last; having him back for one more is a blessing for the Ravens. Deep down, we all know that this historic Ravens defense that has supported a subpar offense for years ends once Ray Ray (and Ed Ed) leave, so it's great news to know the era is extended.
3. The Ravens lost to the best
When you lose, you hope it's to the best. In this case, the Ravens have done that, because it's not like the Giants are winning the Super Bowl. That'd be silly.
4. Papa John wants to help Baltimore through this tough time
Being the humanitarian that he is, the man they call "Papa John" is offering 50 percent off online orders TODAY if you enter the promo code "RAVENS50." The catch is that you have to be a Ravens fan to enter that code, which is Papa's way of really showing that he cares about the city of Baltimore.
Sure, outside of these four things, there isn't a single thing for Baltimore fans to be even remotely happy about, but if they print out this list, throw it under a magnet on the fridge, and read it aloud 20 times a day, they should be able to make it through this dark time. Never forget the good that is in store, long term (Ray Ray's back) and short term (PIZZA PARTY).
Also, Baltimore fans — to increase your level of happiness even more, it helps to never refer to the two scrubs who ruined your lives by name. Try out "He Who Shall Not Be Named" for size, and if that doesn't work, just refer to them collectively as "Matt Ryan."

I used to think that living meant making it rich,
I'd never learn to toil I'd never learn to see
that somehow reality was catching up to me
Two years later how far have I come,
I'm living in the streets people call me a bum
I used to be a chooser now I'm a loser
No other means of misery I've got to compare
Hey there mister, you got any cash?
I promise if you spot me some I'll make it last
Think of it again I could use a bit
Some people call it heroine, I call it shit
Beggars can be choosers but choosers can't be beggars
I'm living proof it happens almost everyday
Now i'm sitting in the corner trying to catch a wink
What you go through out here can really make you think
I'm a mama's boy living in the streets
I never thought that garbage could ever taste so sweet

Welcome to the Official ABATE of Oklahoma website!
If you are not a member we encourage you to visit our CHAPTERS page and find a location near you. ABATE of Oklahoma is made up of many different types of individuals. ABATE of Oklahoma is not a club, we are a motorcyclists' rights organization dedicated to preserving individual freedom and promoting safety. You do not have to own a motorcycle or even ride to be a member! You do not have to ride a specific brand of motorcycle to be a member! Check out our ABOUT page to learn more about ABATE of Oklahoma and check back often for updates
Motorcycle Only Checkpoint H.R. 1861 – Needs your SUPPORT now!
Congressman James Sensenbrenner (Wisconsin) introduced a bill to prohibit the federal funding of motorcycle only roadside checkpoints. Sensenbrenner has always been an MRF Champion and he needs your support now on this bill.
As we approach July 4th, our Nations Independence Day this is a perfect opportunity for you to use the system that our founding fathers set in place to make a change for the better. The bill, H.R. 1861, has nine original co-sponsors however, we need many more to pass this landmark legislation. Call your congressman and ask them to support H.R. 1861.
Sensenbrenner had this to say in a 'Dear Colleague letter' that is circulating in the House of Representatives; 'In the 112th Congress, I introduced H.R. 904, a bill to prohibit the Department of Transportation (DOT) from providing funds to state and local authorities for the purpose of creating motorcycle only checkpoints. Section one of the Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint Funding Act contains the same language as H.R. 904. However, this bill also contains language to force the DOT to focus motorcycle safety efforts on crash prevention programs, not national helmet mandates.'
It's important to contact your sitting member of the House of Representatives and ask them to be a co-sponsor of this important legislation. Ask them to contact Congressman James Sensenbrenner and lend their support as co-sponsor of H.R. 1861. You can contact the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121

This September, DC Comics will release its "Third Wave" of newly relaunched comic books. One of those series will be Sword of Sorcery, a new title that brings back the publisher's old-school fantasy characters like Beowulf and Amethyst, The Princess of Gemworld.
And penning the adventures of Amethyst is none other than animation veteran Christy Marx, who created the supercomputer-powered cartoon rockers Jem and the Holograms.

Pension Plans and Leveraged Buy-Outs
T-HRD-89-20, Apr 27, 1989
GAO discussed its work on the role of pension plans in leveraged buy-outs (LBO), focusing on the: (1) incidence of pension plan terminations by companies taken over in LBO; (2) extent of pension plan investments in LBO; and (3) risks of investing pension plan assets in LBO. GAO found that: (1) 40 percent of the companies it reviewed terminated pension plans with a total of about $1.8 billion in assets; (2) 23 of 107 terminations occurred before LBO, an indication that the sponsor terminated the plan to make the firm a less attractive LBO target, and the remainder of the terminations occurred after LBO, with the acquiring firm obtaining any plan assets exceeding those necessary to pay plan benefits; (3) most terminated plans had excess assets; (4) sponsors obtained a reversion of excess assets of about $581 million; (5) sponsors of 40 percent of the terminated plans stated that they intended to cover plan participants under some other plan, and GAO could not determine whether the remaining sponsors intended to cover participants in terminated plans; (6) sponsors it contacted had invested about 3.7 percent of their combined assets in LBO funds; and (7) LBO fund investments involve several different risks, including limited liquidity, inability to trade a partnership interest as a negotiable security, and the chance that an economic downturn could hamper the acquired company's ability to pay off LBO debt.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
..And good books!
Fall is my favourite time of the year. Colourful sunny days, with crisp, blue nights. All while curled up, nice and cozy with a good book!
Another reason why I adore October is because it's the month of Halloween! The best time for reading those terrifying page-turners, and watching those spine-tingling horror movies.

his week, McDonald's announced that it would begin posting calorie counts on all its menus nationwide beginning next week, a seemingly ballsy move that experts say could have repercussions throughout the fast-food industry. McDonald's already showcases calorie counts at its restaurants in New York City, Philadelphia, and the entire state of California, and the expansion anticipates a provision in President Obama's health care overhaul that will require national chains with 20 restaurants or more to post calorie counts. However, McDonald's is far out in front of the government deadline, which hasn't even been set yet. Here, a guide to McDonald's decision:
Why is McDonald's posting calorie counts now?
McDonald's claims that it wants to educate customers. "We recognize customers want to know more about the nutrition content of the food and beverages they order," says Jan Fields, president of McDonald's USA. "We are pleased to add to the ways we make nutrition information available to our customers and employees."
It's a little more complicated than Fields' canned press quote might suggest. The move is a public-relations victory, Tim Calkins, a marketing professor, tells The Christian Science Monitor, bolstering the perception that McDonald's is "a leader in terms of transparency." In truth, McDonald's wasn't exactly a huge supporter of ObamaCare. "They fought and fought and fought against this, and now they act like they wanted it all the time," Kelly Brownell, a food policy expert, tells USA Today.
Will the move turn off customers?
It hasn't so far. Fields says "calorie counts in New York and other markets didn't translate to any significant change in customers' eating habits," says Schuyler Velasco at The Christian Science Monitor. "McDonald's isn't taking a major risk." So it's unclear whether the move will even make customers healthier eaters. Studies show mixed results from posting calorie counts, though some experts argue that "calorie counters might start to become a bigger factor as consumers gain more familiarity with them," says Stephanie Strom at The New York Times.
Will other chains follow suit?
Probably. With 14,000 "locations around the country," McDonald's is "by far the largest chain to post calorie counts nationwide," says Strom. Other chains like Wendy's and Burger King will certainly feel the pressure to be as transparent as their main competitor. McDonald's is also putting pressure on its burger rivals by expanding its selection of healthier foods, introducing, for example, a new "breakfast sandwich made with egg whites on a whole grain English muffin (working title: the Egg White Delight)," says Velasco.
Can customers expect any surprises?
Perhaps. The Big Mac, at 550 calories, isn't close to being the biggest calorie bomb. The Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese is 750 calories, while the breakfast platter — featuring hot cakes, eggs, a sausage patty, and more — is 1,150 calories. (The FDA recommends consuming 2,000 calories a day.) And a sensible-sounding option like the Southwest Salad with Crispy Chicken is 450 calories, 10 more than a greasy Double Cheeseburger.

China's urban job market remained stable in the first nine months of the year with more new employment created, an official said on Friday.
The country's urban registered unemployment rate dipped to 4.04 percent at the end of September, from 4.1 percent at the end of June, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security spokesman Yin Chengji told a press conference.
The Chinese government had set this year's urban unemployment rate target at 4.6 percent.
A total of 10.66 million new jobs were created in urban areas during the Jan.-Sept. period, according to Yin, which means the government has accomplished its full-year target of creating no fewer than 9 million new jobs ahead of schedule.
"Job creation has been very effective," Yin said, adding the ministry will continue to help college graduates to find jobs and that this would be the top priority of next year's employment work.
The country's economic rebound in the third quarter has taken some pressure off its leaders, but weakening economic trends toward the end of the nine-month period has left them still needing to further steer structural reforms.
China's gross domestic product (GDP) rose 7.8 percent in the July-Sept. period compared with one year earlier, accelerating from the second quarter's 7.5-percent increase and growth of 7.7 percent in the first three months of the year.

Bayesian Detection of Router Configuration Anomalies (2005)
Khalid El-Arini, Kevin Killourhy
Problems arising from router misconfigurations cost time and money. The first step in fixing such misconfigurations is finding them. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting misconfigurations that does not depend on an a priori model of what constitutes a correct configuration. Our hypothesis is that uncommon or unexpected misconfigurations in router data can be identified as statistical anomalies within a Bayesian framework. We present a detection algorithm based on this framework, and show that it is able to detect errors in the router configuration files of a university network.

North America (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
Although Canada, the United States, and Mexico all function under independent and different governmental systems, the three countries are involved in many collaborative efforts to protect their shared environment. With the increasing awareness of the fact that the political, economic, and social decisions of all countries have environmental impacts far beyond their own borders, all three of the countries of North America have increased their attention to environmental concerns and are committed to a cooperative approach to addressing environmental problems.
Cooperation between Canada and the United States in regard to environmental issues dates back to 1909, when the two countries signed the Boundary Waters Treaty and established the International Joint Commission to manage the bodies of water shared by the two nations. More than thirty agreements regarding the environment have since been signed by Canada and the United States, including the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (1972), which protects the ecosystem of the Great Lakes basin, and the Air Quality Agreement (1991), which is concerned with the harmful emissions that cause acid rain. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada have implemented and oversee a number of agreements dealing with problems of transboundary movement of hazardous substances ranging from toxic chemicals to solid waste.

Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
With its densely populated metropolitan areas and its intensive manufacturing and agricultural activities, North America has serious problems with air pollution. Among the most significant contributors to air pollution across the continent are emissions from the transportation sector. The large numbers of motor vehicles used daily in the major metropolitan areas throughout North America emit large quantities of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, resulting in ground-level ozone and smog, which are hazardous to human health and to the health of other animals and plant life, including crops and trees. Although primarily produced in metropolitan areas and in areas of heavy industrial production and at power plant locations, ground-level ozone is also a threat to the environment in rural areas, as it is carried into these areas by wind. These emissions, which are primarily greenhouse gases, have also been linked to global warming and climate change.
The petroleum industry and the generation of power by the burning of fossil fuels also contribute heavily to air pollution in North America. Increasing demand for electricity has resulted in increased burning of fossil fuels across the continent. In the late twentieth century, the preference of many North Americans for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks rather than more fuel-efficient...

Water Pollution and Loss of Biodiversity (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
Water pollution is an important concern in North America. Although both the United States and Canada provide their residents, in general, with better water quality than is found in much of the rest of the world, in rural areas throughout the continent, polluted water from contaminated wells and rivers, lack of proper sewage disposal, and improper disposal of waste from animal confinement systems still can be a serious hazard to human health. Agriculture also contributes to water pollution through irrigation runoff from crop fields, which contains residues of pesticides and fertilizers. Polluted water poses a threat to both land and aquatic species. Toxic chemicals in water affect entire ecosystems as they destroy vegetation and poison fish as well as the animals that eat the fish.
Acid rain remains a serious problem for Canada owing to the transboundary movement of pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants, motor vehicles, and smelters in the United States. Canada's soils and lakes lack the alkalinity necessary to neutralize the sulfur, mercury, and other toxic substances present in acid rain, which ruins the soil for crop production, destroys vegetation in the areas affected, and renders lakes and rivers poisonous to fish, other wildlife, and human beings. In addition, acid rain causes stratospheric ozone depletion and makes lakes and rivers more susceptible to ultraviolet radiation.

Land Destruction and Deforestation (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
Urban sprawl, industrial development, agricultural practices, and other human activities all contribute to land destruction and deforestation. Throughout North America, a long-term trend has been a population shift from rural areas toward the cities, where economic opportunities offer the prospect of a better quality of life. This migration over time has resulted in shifts in land use. As cities expand, land that was prairie, forest, or prime cropland disappears with the building of housing developments, roads, and paved shopping and entertainment centers. Such changes significantly affect the environment through increases in greenhouse gas emissions and the pollution of both water and land as the result of human activities. Further, the loss of natural areas, particularly the loss of forests, contributes to global warming and climate change, because trees are natural cleansers of carbon dioxide from the air.
Although urban sprawl significantly affects the environment as it increases pollutants, agriculture has far greater impacts on the environment. The negative effects are particularly great when land that is not naturally suitable for agriculture is used for that purpose; such land requires intensive irrigation and fertilization to be productive as cropland, and both practices are harmful to the environment. Throughout North America, the overexploitation of land for increased food and biofuel crop...

Loss of Habitat and Species Endangerment (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
Throughout North America, the natural habitats of many species have been destroyed as forests, grasslands, and wetlands have been converted to other uses, including industrial development and agriculture. This destruction of habitats has resulted in the endangerment of many species native to the continent, such as the peregrine falcon, the condor, and the wolf.
The activities of North Americans have also endangered marine life. One of the most crucial areas of environmental importance affecting the three North American countries involves the extraction of the oil from deposits found beneath the seas off their shores. The process of drilling for the oil can pollute ocean waters, whether through relatively small leaks or through disastrous spills such as the one that resulted from an explosion on BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico in April, 2010. The pollution caused by oil spills endangers fish, shellfish, seabirds, and marine mammals.

North America (Encyclopedia of Science)
North America, the world's third-largest continent, encompasses an area of about 9,400,000 square miles (24,346,000 square kilometers). This landmass is occupied by the present-day countries of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Also included in the North American continent are Greenland, an island landmass northeast of Canada, and the islands of the Caribbean, many of which are independent republics.
North America is bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the west by the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the South American continent, and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
The North American continent contains almost every type of land-form present on Earth: mountains, forests, plateaus, rivers, valleys, plains, deserts, and tundra. It also features every type of climatic zone found
on Earth, from polar conditions in Greenland to tropical rain forests in the countries of Central America. Much of the continent, however, is subject to a temperate climate, resulting in favorable farming and living...

North America (World of Earth Science)
The landmass occupied by the present-day countries of Canada, the United States, and the Republic of Mexico make up North America. Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat), an island landmass to the northeast of Canada, is also included in North America, for it has been attached to Canada for almost two billion years.
Plate tectonics is the main force of nature responsible for the geologic history of North America. Over time, the plates have come together to form the continents, including North America. Other processes, such as sedimentation and erosion, modify the shape of the land that has been forged by plate tectonics.
North American geologic history includes several types of mountain ranges as a result of plate tectonics. When the edge of a plate of Earth's crust runs over another plate, forcing the lower plate deep into Earth's elastic interior, a long, curved mountain chain of volcanoes usually forms on the forward-moving edge of the upper plate. When this border between two plates forms in the middle of the ocean, the volcanic mountains form a string of islands, or archipelago, such as the Antilles and the Aleutians. This phenomenon is called an island arc.
When the upper plate is carrying a continent on its forward edge, a mountain chain, like the Cascades, forms right on the forward edge. This edge, heavily populated with volcanoes, is called a continental arc. The volcanic mountains on the plate border described above can run into a continent, shatter the collision area and stack up the pieces into a mountain range. This is how the Appalachians were formed.
When a continent-sized "layer cake" of rock is pushed, the upper layers move more readily than the lower layers. The layers separate from each other, and the upper few miles of rock move on ahead, floating on fluid pressure between the upper and lower sections of the crust like a fully loaded tractor trailer gliding effortlessly along an icy road. The flat surface where moving layers of crust slide along the top of the layers beneath it is called a thrust fault, and the mountains that are heaved up where the thrust fault reaches the surface are one kind of fault block mountains. The mountains of Glacier National Park slid along the Lewis thrust fault over younger rocks, and out onto the Great Plains.
Mountain ranges start being torn down by physical and chemical forces while they are still rising. North America has been criss-crossed by one immense range of mountains after another throughout its almost four-billion-year history.
A range of mountains may persist for hundreds of millions of years, like the Appalachians. On repeated occasions, the warped, folded rocks of the Appalachians were brought up out of the continent's basement and raised thousands of feet by tectonic forces. If mountains are not continuously uplifted, they are worn down by erosion in a few million years. In North America's geologic past, eroded particles from its mountains were carried by streams and dumped into the continent's inland seas, some of which were as large as the present-day Mediterranean. Those rivers and seas are gone from the continent, but the sediments that filled them remain, like dirt in a bathtub when the water is drained. The roots of all the mountain ranges that have ever stood in North America all still exist, and much of the sand and clay into which the mountains were transformed still exists also, as rock or soil formations.
Various parts of North America were formed all over the world, at various times over four billion years, and were brought together and assembled into one continent by the endless process of plate tectonics. What is now called North America began to form in the first two and one-half billion years of Earth's history, a period of time called the Archean Eon.
Some geologists speculate that the earth that created the oldest parts of North America barely resembled the middle-aged planet on which we live. The planet of four billion years ago had cooled enough to have a solid crust, and oceans of liquid water. But the crust may have included hundreds of small tectonic plates, moving perhaps 10 times faster than plates move today. These small plates, carrying what are now the most ancient rocks, scudded across the oceans of a frantic crazy-quilt planet. Active volcanoes and rifts played a role in rock formation on the Archean Earth. The oldest regions in North America were formed in this hyperactive world. These regions are in Greenland, Labrador, Minnesota, and Wyoming.
In the late Archean Eon, the plates of Earth's crust may have moved at a relatively high speed. Evidence of these wild times can be found in the ancient core of North America. The scars of tectonic events appear as rock outcrops throughout the part of northern North America called the Canadian Shield. One example of this kind of scar, a greenstone belt, may be the mangled remains of ancient island arcs or rifts within continents. Gold and chromium are found in the greenstone belts, and deposits of copper, zinc, and nickel. Formations of iron ore also began to form in the Archean Eon, and fossils of microscopic cyanobacteria-the first life on Earthre found imbedded in them.
North America's little Archean continents slammed together in a series of mountain-building collisions. The core of the modern continent was formed 1,850 million years ago when five of these collisions occurred at once around northeastern Canada. This unified piece of ancient continental crust, called a craton, lies exposed at the surface in the Canadian Shield, and forms a solid foundation under much of the rest of the continent.
In the two billion years of the Proterozoic Eon (2,50070 million years ago), North America's geologic setting became more like the world as we know it. The cores of the modern continents were assembled, and the first collections of continents, or supercontinents, appeared. Life, however, was limited to bacteria and algae, and unbreatheable gases filled the atmosphere. Rampant erosion filled the rivers with mud and sand, because no land plants protected Earth's barren surface from the action of rain, wind, heat, and cold.
Rich accumulations of both rare and common metallic elements make Proterozoic rocks a significant source of mineral wealth for North America, as on other continents. Chromium, nickel, copper, tin, titanium, vanadium, and platinum ores are found together in the onion-like layers of crystallized igneous rocks called layered intrusions. Greenstone belts are mined for copper, lead, and zinc, each of which is mixed with sulfur to form a sulfide mineral. Sulfide minerals of lead and zinc are found in limestones formed in shallow seas, while mines in the ancient continental river and delta sediments uncover buried vanadium, copper, and uranium ores.
During the middle to late Proterozoic Eon, continental collisions attached new pieces of continental crust to North America's southern, eastern, and western borders. Between 30% and 40% of North America joined the continent in the Proterozoic. The crust underlying the continental United States east of Nevada joined the craton, as well as the crust underlying the Sierra Madre Occidental of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Durango in Mexico. The Mazatzal Mountains, whose root outcrop is in the Grand Canyon's inner gorge, rose in these mountain-building times in southern and central North America.
North America experienced the sea washing over its boundaries many times during the three-billion-plus years of its Archean and Proterozoic history. Life had flourished in the shallow tidewater. Algae, a long-term resident of North America, was joined later by worms and other soft-bodied animals. Little is known of early soft-bodied organisms, because they left no skeletons to become fossils. Only a handful of good fossils remain from the entire world's immense Precambrian rock record.
Then, about 570 million years ago, several unrelated lineages of shell-bearing sea animals appeared. This was the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon of earth history, which has lasted from 570 million years ago to the present day. Vast seas covered much of North America in the early Phanerozoic, their shorelines changing from one million-year interval to the next. The seas teemed with creatures whose bones and shells we have come to know in the fossil record. These oceanic events are memorialized in the layers of stone each sea left behind, lying flat in the continent's heartland, and folded and broken in the cordilleras. Geologists have surveyed the stacked sheets of stone left by ancient North American seas and have made maps of the deposits of each continental sea. The stacked layers are divided into sequences, each named for the sea that laid it down. Each sequence consisted of a slow and complex flooding of the continent. Sea level mountain uplift, the growth of deltas, and other factors continually changed the shape of the continental sea.
The eastern coast of North America was once part of an ancient "Ring of Fire" surrounding an ocean that has disappeared forever from Earth. From Greenland to Georgia, and through the Gulf Coast states into Mexico, the collision of continents raised mountains comparable to the Himalayas and Alps of today. Several ranges were raised up on the eastern border of North America between 480 and 230 million years ago.
Another collision about 450 million years ago created the Acadian mountain range, whose roots are exposed today in Newfoundland. These mountains began to be torn down by rain and wind, and by the time they had worn down to nothing, more than 63,000 cubic miles of sediment made from them had been dumped into the shallow continental sea between New York and Virginiabout the same amount of rock as the Sierra Nevadas of today. The bones of amphibians, the first land animals, are found in the rocks laid down by the streams of East Greenland.
The sleepless crust under North America's Pennsylvanian-age borders tossed and turned in complex ways. Three hundred million years ago, North America sat on the equator, its vast inland sea surrounded by rain forests whose fossilized remains are the coal deposits of the eastern United States. Small mountain ranges rose out of the sea that covered the center of the continent in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Ouachitas stood in the Gulf Coast states, the last great mountain range to stand there. In the eastern United States, the Allegheny Mountain Range stood where the Acadian and Taconic Ranges had stood before.
The Ouachitas welded South America to the Gulf coast, at roughly the same time as the Alleghenies welded the East coast of North America to West Africa. The Ouachitas and Alleghenies stretched, unbroken, all the way around the eastern and southern coasts of North America. This joining of the world's continents formed Pangaea, the most recent supercontinent in geologic history. Pangaea's 150 million year history ended with the birth of the Atlantic Ocean and the separation of North and South America. As South America and Africa tore away from North America, Florida was left behind, attached to the intersection of the Allegheny and Ouachita Mountains. Another legacy of this cracking of Earth's crust is the New Madrid Fault, which runs through the North American Plate under the Mississippi Valley.
Around 340 million years ago, an offshore island arc, called the Antler Arc, struck the shores about where Nevada and Idaho now are (then the westernmost part of the continent), extending the shoreline of North America a hundred miles westward.
By 245 million years ago, the beginning of the age of dinosaurs, another island arc had run into the American West. The Golconda Arc added a Sumatra-sized piece of land to North America, and the continent bulged out to present-day northern California.
After the Golconda Arc piled onto the West Coast of that time, the crust broke beneath the continent's border, and the ocean's plate ran under North America's west coast. A continental arc was born around 230 million years ago in western North America, and its volcanoes have been erupting frequently from the dawn of the age of dinosaurs (the Mesozoic Era) until today.
Several more island arcs struck western North America since the middle Jurassic Period. The granite mountains of the Sierra Nevada are the roots of one of these island arcs. Landmasses created on the Pacific Plate have been scraped from it. This mechanism is the origin of the West Coast's ranges, the Cascades, and much of British Columbia and Alaska's southern coast.
A range of fault block mountains rose far inland as the continent was squeezed from west to east. The Sevier Mountains stood west of the Cretaceous Period's interior seaway, in what is now Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. The dinosaurs of that time (8030 million years ago) left their tracks and remains in the mud and sand worn off these mountains.
In the same manner as large island chains were carried to North America on moving plates of oceanic crust, small pieces of land came to the coasts in this way as well. Numerous "exotic terrains," impacting on the western coasts during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras, added large areas now covered by British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, and Mexico. These little rafts of continental crust were formed far from their present location, for the fossils in them are of creatures that lived halfway around the worldut never in North America. A sizeable piece of continental crustouthern Mexico as far south as the Isthmus of Tehuantepecoined northern Mexico between 18040 million years ago.
Starting 80 million years ago, new forces began to act on the inland west. Geologists do not know exactly what happened beneath the crust to cause these changes, but the features created on the surface by tectonic action underneath the crust are well known.
At the same time as the Sevier Mountains ceased to rise, a similar range, facing the opposite direction, began to move upward. Earth's upper crust beneath the Rocky Mountain states was shoved westward as the Laramides were forming, lifting the Rocky Mountains for the first time. These first modern Rocky Mountains drained the continent's last great shallow sea of inland North America as they rose. Huge mountains now stood in places where seas had rolled over Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Alberta. In Mexico, the Laramides raised the Sierra Madre Occidental, and formed the mineral deposits that enrich Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, and Zacatecas. In Colorado, Wyoming, and neighboring states, the Rocky Mountains began to erode away, and by 55 million years ago, the first Rockies had disappeared from the surfacehe mountains' roots were buried in sediment from the eroded mountaintops. More recent uplift again exposed the Rockies, and Ice Age glaciers sculpted their tops into today's sharp peaks.
Twenty-five million years ago, after a quiet interlude, North America's western continental arc awoke, and its abundant volcanoes again added new rock to the continent from British Columbia to Texas and down the mountainous spine of Mexico. The only area in the Southwest in which volcanoes were uncommon was the Colorado Plateau, whose immunity to the tectonic forces around it is still a mystery. Around the borders of the Colorado Plateau's remarkably thick crust, one volcanic catastrophe after another covered the land. In this time, the San Juan Mountains were formed in Colorado. The Rocky Mountains began to slide westward and rose again on the thrust faults beneath them.
Ten million years ago, the Great Basin area of the United States was much shorter when measured east to west than it is today. It was then a mountainous highland. Some geologists propose that Nevada was an alpine plateau like Tibet is todayerhaps more than 10,000 ft (3,048 m) high. Starting then and continuing for five million years, this area began to be pulled apart. Long faults opened in the crust, and mountain-sized wedges slowly fell between ridges that were still standing on the unbroken basement rock miles below. Sediment from the erosion of these new ridges filled the valleys, enabling the valleys to become reservoirs of underground water, or aquifers. The low parts got so low that the area is indeed a basin; water does not flow out of it. Some geologists believe that the Basin and Range province stretches around the Colorado Plateau, into Texas, and extends down the Sierra Madre Occidental as far south as Oaxaca.
Another kind of pulling-apart of the continent happened in New Mexico's Rio Grande Rift. As at the Keewenaw Rift a billion years before, tectonic forces from beneath Earth's crust began pulling the surface apart just as east Africa is being pulled apart today. The broad rift's mountainous walls eroded, and the sediment from that erosion piled up in the ever-widening valley. A new ocean was about to be formed in the southwest. Lava poured from fissures in the crust near Taos, New Mexico, filling the valley floor. Also like the Keewenaw Rift, the Rio Grande Rift stopped growing after a few million years, as the tectonic processes ceased pulling the continent apart. The modern Rio Grande was born as a consequence of this rift, and still runs through the rift valley.
A cataclysmic volcanic event happened in Oregon and Washington 17 million years ago. For an unknown reason, perhaps a disturbance deep in Earth's mantle, or a meteor impact, lava began pouring out of cracks in Earth. So much lava poured onto the surface at once that it ran from southeastern Oregon down the Columbia River valley to the Pacific Ocean. Huge cracks in the ground called fissures flooded broad areas with basalt lava over about 500,000 years. This flood of basalt is called the Columbia River Plateau. A hot spot, or an upwelling of molten rock from Earth's mantle, appears to have caused the Columbia River Plateau. As the North American Plate moved westward between then and now, the hot spot stayed in one place, scorching holes in Earth's crust under Idaho and erupting the lava that makes the Snake River Plain a fertile farmland. This hot spot is assumed to be the heat source that powers the geysers of Yellowstone National Park.
In the early Jurassic Period, 200 million years ago, the northernmost edge of North America tore away from the continent and began rotating counterclockwise. This part of the continent came to rest to the northwest of North America, forming the original piece of Alaskats northernmost mountains, the Brooks Range. In the late Cretaceous Period, the farthest part of this landmass from North America struck the edge of Siberia, and became the Chukotsk Peninsula. The remaining landmass of Alaska joined North America bit by bit, in the form of exotic terrains. The Aleutians, a classic island arc, formed in the Tertiary Period. The about 40 active volcanoes of the Aleutians have erupted numerous times in the twentieth century, including several eruptions in the last decade from Mt. Augustine, Pavlov, Shishaldin, and Mt. Redoubt.
For reasons that are not yet fully understood, Earth periodically enters a time of planet-wide cooling. Large areas of the land and seas are covered in ice sheets thousands of feet thick, which remain unmelted for thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. Today, only Greenland and Antarctica lie beneath continent-sized glaciers. But in the very recent geologic past, North America's northern regions, including the entire landmass of Canada, were ground and polished by an oceanic amount of water frozen into a single mass of ice. This ice began to accumulate as the planet's weather cooled, and began to stay frozen all year round. As it built up higher and higher, it began to move out from the piled-high center, flowing while still solid.
Vast amounts of Canadian soil and rock, called glacial till, rode on the ice sheets as they moved, or surfed slowly before the front of the ice wall. Some of the richest farmland in the United States Midwest and northeast arrived in its present location in this way-as well as boulders that must be removed from fields before plowing. In the unusual geographic conditions following the retreat of the ice sheets, barren soil lay on the landscape, no longer held down by the glacier. Windstorms moved tremendous amounts of this soil far from where the glacier left it, to settle out of the sky as a layer of fertile soil, called loess in German and English. Loess soils settled in the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and also Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Texas.
This continental glaciation happened seven times over the last 2.2 million years. Warm intervals, some of them hundreds of thousands of years long, stretched between these planetary deep-freezes. Geologists do not agree whether the ice will return or not. Even if the present day is in a warm period between glaciations, tens or hundreds of thousands of years may elapse before the next advance of the ice sheets.
California lies between two different kinds of plate boundaries. To the south, the crust under California is growing; to the north it is shrinking. The part of California that sits on the Pacific Plate between these two forces is moved northward in sudden increments of a few feet which are felt as earthquakes. A few feet at a time, in earthquakes that happen every few decades, the part of California west of the San Andreas Fault will move northward along the coast.
Active faults also exist elsewhere in the United States, in the Midwest and in South Carolina. The last sizeable earthquakes in these regions occurred more than a hundred years ago, and geologists assume that earthquakes will probably occur within the next hundred years. The Pacific Northwest and Alaska, sitting atop active tectonic environments, will certainly be shaken by earthquakes for millions of years to come. The Great Basin, the western Rocky Mountains, and the United States northeast are all considered tectonically active enough for earthquakes to be considered possible.
North America's volcanic mountain ranges, the Cascades, and the relatively recent Mexican Volcanic Belt, have erupted often in the recent geologic past. These mountains will certainly continue to erupt in the near geologic future.
