Orange L. W. Howell is my name and @ 157 years old I can assure you I speak with opinions in their various shades of gray. Black n' white thinking is fools talk, easily palatable for most folks, but then most don't live past 90 before they can't think right. About the name +color, "William & Mary of Orange" I was born in 1861 the year the Civil War began. Eighth generation American, Quaker, Hoosier, Welsh, originally a Farmer. I grew up Henry County, Blountsville, Indiana. Parents were Hilary Howell and Fanny Bedwell-Howell, and my first lovely wife was named Ella Chamness, we had four children. Everyone is in the ground.
Thanks to my old friends at Perfect Circle, those Teetor inventors and Wilbur Wright who was always coming back to his birth place...P.C. created a special invention for me, knowing I was a seventh son of a seventh son...So I can go forever into the future flying, just can't take me back, only forward. My stomping grounds are the streets of Manhattan, New York City... especially the East Village. The neighborhood spirit is most like the home in my heart or at least it was in the 80's...♥

Don't know why this is happening but it is taking more than a minute for pages to come up on threads, though the site and subsections come up right away. This only seems to have been happening since last night. I am trying to figure out what the problem is; I assume others are having the same issues.

You can feel his pain and determination when he says that, sending those men for slim chance of averting the fall of Axis, knowing that he cannot fail for the sake of billions of human lives, but also knowing that many, if not most, of his men will die carrying out his orders.

There's just too many awesome quotes in manga that never made it into animation. Anyway, here's mine. Not neccesarily my favourite or even the most memorable, but the ones that pop into my head.
"So long as the world returns to darkness...surely there'll be someone out there, far far away who will ignite the fireworks and illuminate the possible future. For that reason...I'm willing to sacrifice myself. For that reason, I chose to became evil."
~The Silent Bomber before bombing the Parliament~
"I don't have 'regret'."

I always remember this quote from Suzuka, don't know which episode:
"There are no rights or wrongs in love, outsiders should just watch". (Yasunobu Hattori)
And also, from Fruits Basket episode 15:
"It doesn't matter how the memories are, I want to keep them all inside my heart and believe in them. I like to think that there are no memories unworthy of being remembered, and I wish that one day their weight won't be so heavy to carry anymore. This way, maybe it will come a day when I'll rewatch them serenely and they would become precious to me." (Honda Tohru).

Gankutsuou has so many legendary pieces of dialogue, but one of my favourites is from that magical scene in which Gankutsuou first met
Gankutsuou (in French): My friend... Hope... Grief... Ardent desire... Resignation... Anger... Terror... Despair... And once again, hope...
Gankutsuou (in French): I... have waited several thousand years within this borrowed body for a human like you to arrive...
Gankutsuou (in French): I am... with you... And you are with me... I will give you my wisdom and power... and you will offer me that heart and body...!
I just thought that one scene in particular was so incredibly powerful... but that's certainly a series that has more than its share of powerful moments.

Did you know this earthquake happened on the same day in history ?
Italy, 2009 - Magnitude : 6,3 - 308 people killed
The quake occured on 3:32 local time, when most of the people were sleeping. More than 15.000 buildings were destroyed by the quake and triggered landslides. More than 55.000 people got homeless, more than thousand were injured. Most of the damage occured in L'Aquila, a town very close to the epicenter. Many parts of the town were damaged. The mainshock was felt as far as Nuremberg (Germany) and Podgorica (Montenegro). One strong afterhock with M 5.5 killed one person and damaged additional buildings in L'Aquila on April 7th 2009.
A large number of foreshocks preceded the main shock weeks before. Many people were scared by these small shocks, expecting a larger one. Scientists tried to calm them down, saying they do not expect any larger earthquake. They were sentenced to prison in October 2012.

Do you know the meaning of the Tsunami terms "Inundation" and "Runup" ?
During post-tsunami field surveys, inundation and runup measurements are taken to describe the tsunami effects. Inundation is defined as the maximum horizontal distance inland that a tsunami penetrates. Runup is the maximum vertical height above mean sea level that the sea surface attains during a tsunami. Actual tsunami wave heights can be measured from the amplitude of the wave signals seen on sea level or tide gauge instruments.

3 prefectures to draw up evacuation plan for Mt Fuji eruption (japan)
The prefectural governments of Yamanashi, Shizuoka and Kanagawa plan to formulate a prediction of the damage likely to be caused by lava flow, falling rocks and ash clouds as a result of a Mt Fuji eruption.
The predictions are to be used to draw up effective evacuation plans for residents of the three prefectures. Up to 750,000 residents would have to evacuate in Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures in the event of an eruption, according to an earlier government estimate.

Did you know this earthquake happened on the same day in history ?
China, 1966 - Magnitude : 6.9 - 1000 people killed
More than 180,000 "rooms" collapsed and 276,000 were severely damaged in Hebei Province, with the most severe damage in the Ningjin-Shinhe area. At least 10,000 rooms collapsed and over 22,000 were heavily damaged in Shandong (Shantung) Province. Over 6,000 rooms and cave dwellings collapsed in Shanxi (Shansi) Province and some rooms collapsed in the Anyang area of Henan (Honan) Province. Some damage occurred at Beijing (Peking) and Tianjin (Tientsin). It was felt as far away as Hohhot and Nanjing. In the epicentral area, large fissures crisscrossed the ground and there were many sandblows. Embankments slumped into the Fuyang River. As with the Mar 07 quake, no no casualty figures were released, other than to say fewer people died than in the previous event. We assume that at least 1,000 people were killed in this earthquake based on the severe and extensive damage, despite the fact that it occurred in the afternoon, when most people would have been awake and better able to protect themselves.

Ancient megavolcanoes killed half the world's species
New rock dating techniques have helped narrow the time-frame of a chain of massive volcanic eruptions that wiped out half the world's species 200 million years ago, a study said Thursday. The result is the most precise date yet -- 201,564,000 years ago -- for the event known as the End-Triassic Extinction, or the fourth mass extinction, said the study in the journal Science.

Did you know this earthquake happened on the same day in history ?
DR Congo, 1966 - Magnitude : 6.9 - 140 people killed
This was the most destructive earthquake in recent African history. The damage appeared to center about Bundibugyo, a one-street township 42 miles from Fort Portal, near the Congo border. About 140 fatalities and hundreds of injuries were reported from Bundibugyo, Fort Portal, and Kichwamba. At Kamango, in the Congo, a chasm 8 feet wide and 1,000 feet long opened up in the ground. Immediate relief measures were greatly impeded by landslides which severed communications and blocked highways.

Earthquakes make gold veins in an instant
Scientists have long known that veins of gold are formed by mineral deposition from hot fluids flowing through cracks deep in Earth's crust. But a study published today in Nature Geoscience1 has found that the process can occur almost instantaneously — possibly within a few tenths of a second. The process takes place along 'fault jogs' — sideways zigzag cracks that connect the main fault lines in rock, says first author Dion Weatherley, a seismologist at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Animal behavior and earthquakes
The earliest reference to unusual animal behavior prior to a significant earthquake is from Greece in 373 BC. Rats, weasels, snakes, and centipedes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before a destructive earthquake. Anecdotal evidence abounds of animals, fish, birds, reptiles, and insects exhibiting strange behavior anywhere from weeks to seconds before an earthquake. However, consistent and reliable behavior prior to seismic events, and a mechanism explaining how it could work, still eludes us.

New seismometer enables quake observations in all waters
A Japanese Agency has said it has developed an undersea seismometer that can withstand depths of more than 10,000 meters, enabling it practically to observe undersea quakes in all waters. The Japan agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology said its instrument, covered in a pressure-resistant container, was installed at seven locations deeper than 6,000 meters -- the furthest conventional seismometers can be placed in the Japan Trench in the Pacific, and obtained data in an experiment in December and January using the deep-sea probe ship Kairei.

Deepest area in the Oceans is also very seismically active
The Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean just east of the Mariana Islands, is the deepest part of the Earth's oceans, with a maximum depth of about 11 km (6.8 miles). This is the deepest location on the surface of the Earth. The bottom of the trench is farther below sea level than Mount Everest is above it.

An earthquake without a seismology report - or was it a sonic boom.
The linked article describes an analysis of a sonic boom with the characteristics of an earthquake. Earthquake-report.com gets regular I Have Felt It reports from people having felt an earthquake which was in fact a sonic boom. This is an example of such an earlier report.
Several news reports, for example from KREM and from KHQ, describe a bright flash in the sky with colors and in some cases followed by a boom or series of booms. Reviewing seismograms around 6:30 AM PST we find weak signals on several stations (fairly strong signal on station, DAVN). By picking the arrival times (marked with blue arrows on the attached seismograms) of these signals and knowing that sound travels about 325 meters/second in air we can invert the arrival times for a common source location and origin time. $$$$$ Read more ....

Did you know this earthquake happened on the same day in history ?
China, 1966 - Magnitude : 7.0 - 1000 people killed
More than 135,000 houses collapsed and 190,000 were severely damaged in Hebei Province. The worst damage was in Julu County, where over 106,000 houses collapsed and another 100,000 were heavily damaged. Some houses collapsed in Shanxi (Shansi) Province. It was felt throughout Hebei and Shanxi Provinces and in most of Henan (Honan) and Shandong (Shantung) Provinces. Ground fissures and sandblows occurred along the banks of the Fuyang River. Except for reports that 4,166 families "suffered disaster" in Longyao County and that great numbers of medical personnel had been rushed to Xingtai (Singtai) to care for the victims, no casualty figures were released for this earthquake. Based on the amount of damage and time of day it occurred, we assume that it killed at least 1,000 people, and very likely many more than that.

Colombia / Ecuador, 1987 - Magnitude : 7.0 - 1000 people killed
Approximately 1,000 people killed, 4,000 missing, 20,000 homeless, extensive damage, landslides and ground cracks in Napo Province and in the Quito-Tulcan area, Ecuador. About 27 km of the oil pipeline in Ecuador, between Lago Agria and Balao, were destroyed or badly damaged. Landslides occurred in the Pasto-Macao area, Colombia. Felt (IV) at Iquitos, Peru. Felt strongly in many parts of Ecuador and southwestern Colombia. Also felt in central Colombia and northern Peru.

Does the earth opens during an earthquake ?
One of man's persistent fears about earthquakes is that the Earth will open and swallow everyone and everything nearby. Shallow crevasses can form during earthquake-induced landslides, lateral spreads, or other types of ground failures. Faults, however, do not open up during an earthquake. Movement occurs along the plane of a fault, not perpendicular to it. If faults opened up, no earthquake would occur because there would be no friction to lock them together.

Scientists Identify Trigger for Explosive Volcanic Eruptions
Scientists from the University of Southampton have identified a repeating trigger for the largest explosive volcanic eruptions on Earth.
The Las Cañadas volcanic caldera on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, has generated at least eight major eruptions during the last 700,000 years. These catastrophic events have resulted in eruption columns of over 25km high and expelled widespread pyroclastic material over 130km. By comparison, even the smallest of these eruptions expelled over 25 times more material than the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland. $$$$$ Read more ...

At least 177 people killed, 2,575 injured and extensive damage in central Chile, including the cities of San Antonio, Valparaiso, Vina del Mar, Santiago and Rancagua. Maximum intensity VIII in the Valparaiso area. Liquefaction occurred in saturated beach dune sands in the Vina del Mar and San Antonio areas. Reports of extensive ground cracks and subsidence throughout most of the epicentral area. Numerous landslides in the coastal mountains. Felt in Chile along a 2,000 km strip from Copiapo to Valdivia. Felt (VI) at Mendoza and (V) at San Juan, Argentina. Also felt by people in highrise buildings in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Japan, 1933 - Magnitude : 8.4 - 3,000 people killed
Because this earthquake occurred about 290 km (180 mi) off the coast of Honshu, most of the casualties and damage were caused by the large tsunami that was generated, instead of directly from the earthquake itself. About 5,000 houses in Japan were destroyed, of which nearly 3,000 were washed away. Maximum wave heights of 28.7 m (94 ft) were observed at Ryori Bay, Honshu. The tsunami also caused slight damage in Hawaii, where a 2.9-meter (9.5-foot) was recorded at Napoopoo.

Russia, 1911 - Magnitude : 7.4 - 90 people killed
Ninety people killed.
A gigantic landslide blocked the Bartang River, destroying Usoy and several other villages in a sparsely-populated area, creating Sarez Lake (Sarez Kol, Sarezskoye Ozero). The landslide created a dam 4-5 kilometers thick and 703-788 meters (2,306-2,585 feet) high, with an estimated mass of 7-10 billion metric tonnes (about 7.7-11 billion short tons). This natural dam is roughly 10 times higher and about 1100 times the mass of the Madison Canyon Slide that created Earthquake Lake after the Hebgen Lake, Montana quake of August 18, 1959. That landslide created a dam up to 73 meters (240 feet) high and had an estimated mass of 73 million metric tonnes (80 million short tons).
The interior of Antarctica has icequakes. The icequakes are similar to earthquakes, but occur within the ice sheet itself instead of the land underneath the ice. Our polar observers have told us they can hear the icequakes and see them on the South Pole seismograph station, but they are much too small to be seen on enough stations to obtain a location.

San Fransisco will impose retrofitting thousands of buildings to become
Thousands of San Francisco property owners would be required to retrofit their older, collapse-prone buildings at an estimated cost of $60,000 to $130,000 each to improve their chances of surviving a major earthquake under legislation Mayor Ed Lee introduced Tuesday.
After more than a decade of work, the city is trying to ensure that housing for about 58,000 residents and businesses employing 7,000 workers could withstand a major temblor by forcing property owners to make seismic upgrades. $$$$$ Read more ...

Italy, 1971 - Magnitude : 4.5 - 20 people killed
This earthquake occurred near Tuscania, Italy. It left 20 dead, over 100 injured, and about 5,000 homeless. It was reported that the medieval section of Tuscania, a city of 8,000, located 50 miles northwest of Rome, was practically leveled, and 60 percent of the city's buildings destroyed. Among those structures sustaining serious damage were the 8th century St. Peter's Church and the 12th century Basilica of St. Mary Major, both recently restored. The heavy damage sustained was due to the shallow depth of the earthquake and poorly constructed buildings.

Meet the Chilean Teen Who Warns of Earthquakes on Twitter
What were you doing when you were 14? I bet you weren't busy warning your fellow countrymen about imminent natural disasters. But that's exactly what 14-year old Chilean Sebastian Alegria is doing. You'll recall the terrible earthquake that struck Chile in 2010. Although he wasn't hurt, Alegria, a high school student from Santiago, Chile experienced it first hand. When Japan was severely hit by an earthquake and tsunami nearly a year later, Sebastian was watching the news with great interest. When he saw that the Japanese had a warning system about imminent earthquakes, he decided to investigate: could he do the same in Chile? $$$$ Read more ...
ER Comment : Great work from this boy but this application can and may only be used as a gadget. But, also a gadget can be useful especially for massive tsunami generating earthquakes along the coast. It will however save only very few lives in case of a devastating shaking earthquake because the damage, injuries and fatalities will occur in the direct epicenter area and there is NO TIME left to be alerted. The earthquake will strike within 1 or 2 seconds. The app needs more time to be activated.
The Mexican authorities have also an official similar alert which is triggered by the Mexican seismology service.
California politicians want to have such an alert as soon as possible.
Japan has it already some time.
The most interesting benefit of such alert system is halting or reducing the speed of trains, stopping elevators at the next level etc.
Once again great to be alerted at 200 km from the epicenter that some shaking will occur, but not affective at all to resist or escape major devastating earthquakes.

Guatemala, 1976 - Magnitude : 7.5 - 23,000 people killed
Over 23,000 deaths. One of the world's deadliest earthquakes.
The earthquake was centered about 160 kilometers northeast of Guatemala City. Thousands injured. Damage was extensive. Most adobe type structures in the outlying areas of Guatemala City were completely destroyed, leaving thousands homeless. Transporation was impeded by the many landslides occurring in the area. Food and water supplies were severely reduced. Some of the areas were without electricity and communication for days. The main shock was followed by thousands of aftershocks, some of the larger ones causing additional loss of life and damage.

Is there something like "earthquake weather" ?
There is no such thing as "earthquake weather". Statistically, there is an equal distribution of earthquakes in cold weather, hot weather, rainy weather, etc. Furthermore, there is no physical way that the weather could affect the forces several miles beneath the surface of the earth. The changes in barometric pressure in the atmosphere are very small compared to the forces in the crust, and the effect of the barometric pressure does not reach beneath the soil.

Southern Honshu was struck by a damaging earthquake, centered midway between Oshima Island and Izu Prefecture. Twenty-one people were reported killed; 119 injured; and four missing. Considerable damage was reported in the area, including many landslides, and damage was estimated to be about $76 million; maximum intensity was V (JMA). Tsunamis were reported at Oshima Island (35 cm), Tateyama (12 cm) and Shiono Misaki. This earthquake was preceded by a number of smaller shocks that were felt the day before and was followed by a number of aftershocks, many of which were in the 5.0 - 5.5 range.
Statewide quake in California may be possible after all
For decades, scientists have assumed the central portion of California's San Andreas fault acts as a barrier that prevents a big quake in the southern part of the state from spreading to the north, and vice versa. As a result, a mega-quake that could be felt from San Diego to San Francisco was widely considered impossible.
But that key fault segment might not serve as a barrier in all cases, researchers wrote Wednesday in the online edition of the journal Nature. $$$$$ Read more ...

The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) is the first plan to explain, describe and detail the work that is required from all different sectors and actors to reduce disaster losses. It was developed and agreed on with the many partners needed to reduce disaster risk - governments, international agencies, disaster experts and many others - bringing them into a common system of coordination. The HFA outlines five priorities for action, and offers guiding principles and practical means for achieving disaster resilience. Its goal is to substantially reduce disaster losses by 2015 by building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. This means reducing loss of lives and social, economic, and environmental assets when hazards strike. $$$$$ Read More

USGS science conclusions are working on a safer world
A powerful magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck Alaska on November 3, 2002, rupturing the Earth's surface for 209 miles along the Susitna Glacier, Denali, and Totschunda Faults. Striking a sparsely populated region, it caused thousands of landslides but little structural damage and no deaths. Although the Denali Fault shifted about 14 feet beneath the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline, the pipeline did not break, averting a major economic and environmental disaster. This was largely the result of stringent design specifications based on geologic studies done by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and others 30 years earlier. Studies of the Denali Fault and the 2002 earthquake will provide information vital to reducing losses in future earthquakes in Alaska, California, and elsewhere.

About subduction faults
Subduction zones are found where one plate overrides, or subducts, another, pushing it down into the mantle where it melts. An example of a subduction-zone plate boundary is found along the northwest coast of the United States, western Canada, and southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Subduction zones are characterized by deep-ocean trenches, shallow to deep earthquakes, and mountain ranges containing active volcanoes.

From Breaking Christian News and The Tedland Daily Exposer. Anonymous phone calls to abortion clinics seem to substantiate the charges of ethnic cleansing of African-Americans by Planned Parenthood.
For years, accusations have been made regarding what can only be described as diabolically chilling racism at the heart of Planned Parenthood. In an October 2005 issue of Life Issues Institute, for example, Susan W. Enouen, P.E., writes: "Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, African Americans have taken a disproportionate blow to their population growth. Although today there are thirty-four million African Americans in the US, fourteen million unborn black American babies have been aborted since 1973, representing over one-fourth of their potential population. Today, blacks account for 12.3% of the American population, but African American women receive 36% of the abortions and are three times more likely than white women to have an abortion. The sad fact is, more African American babies have been killed by abortion since 1973 than the total number of African American deaths from AIDS, violent crimes, accidents, cancer and heart disease combined."
"One key factor that has contributed to this tragedy," says Enouen, "is the lasting influence of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Sanger began the 'Negro Project' in 1939 to promote birth control as a solution to the poverty and degradation experienced, at that time, by blacks in general. Sanger was a strong proponent of birth control for the 'unfit' in society, who she believed should be discouraged from reproducing. Sanger sought to prevent the growth of certain segments of society, including blacks, through legislation or easy availability of sterilization and birth control. She recognized that these efforts might be seen as an attempt at racial genocide, and that the best approach must include recruiting and training African American doctors and ministers to help with the project."
"Margaret wrote in a letter to Clarence Gamble dated October 19, 1939, 'The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.' She convinced black leaders that birth control and sterilization would 'improve the welfare of the Negro population,' and she enlisted their help in a mission to reduce maternal and infant mortality through birth control (as opposed to better prenatal and medical care). Thus began an undeniable effort to limit the growth of the African American population, irrespective of the intent."
Just this month, on April 11, 2008, the Christian Post reported that a pro-life student group at UCLA released a series of shocking videos they claim proves that Planned Parenthood is still carrying out racially targeted abortions.
Today, BCN subscriber Pastor Brian Noble of Sandpoint Assembly of God in Sandpoint, Idaho, passed along an audio clip in which phone calls to Planned Parenthood were taped to authenticate these charges. Pastor Noble felt strongly that the Body of Christ at large needs to be made aware of this horrific practice. We agree wholeheartedly.
*My note: conservative Republican Christians, please remember that the GOP Congress and George W. Bush have had many opportunities to stop the $300 million that goes to Planned Parenthood annually but have refused. You had the GOP control of the Senate from 1980 – 1986, the Republican Congress from 1994 – 2006, and the Bush White House from 2000 until now. So Christians, always know whose side you are on. This issue was the main reason why I left the Republican Party in 2006: I realized that they were pro – abortion too! And as for you Barack HUSSEIN Obama supporters, this fellow supports the genocide of his own people. That the Clintons are aggressively pro – murder goes without saying. John McCain? He told the San Francisco Chronicle in 1999 that he would not seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. If I know this, John Hagee, Rod Parsley, and the rest of the religious right know this, yet they supported Bush and will support McCain anyway … and as far as black liberation theologists James Cone and Jeremiah Wright, apparently liberating the race means murdering it off, as both aggressively support abortion.

Just drive over to the Post Road Art Center and see "Landscape / Seascape 2012'' before summer fades away.
Organized by artist and art teacher Robert Collins, it showcases about 50 varied paintings, photographs, a few ceramics and mixed media pieces to capture the classic beauty and lazy luxuriance of summer from sandy beaches to misty mornings, from walks in the woods to your back porch.
Art center owner Randi Isaacson credited Collins, of Hudson, for selecting "a strong and varied selection of really nice works with a broad appeal.''
"Bob chose some works that were realistic and others than were abstract. He chose some that were impressionistic and others that were a bit more experimental. There's a little bit for everybody,'' she said.
While artists were allowed to submit two pieces, Isaacson said only a handful of contributors are represented by both types of work.
Visitors will enjoy a balanced selection of beach and ocean scenes that will evoke memories of lazy days at Cape Cod. But there are also plenty of paintings and some photos of rugged New England landscapes scenes including country roads, lonely farmhouses and even – brrrr – winter scenes.
Franklin painter Susan Sheridan's delicately-tinted pastel "Morning Walk'' captures the serenity of a solitary stroll along a misty beach. Casting her eyes upward, Susan Hillegas, of Marlborough, depicts the dreamy expansiveness of a cloudy sky in her enamel and acrylic "Summer Gold.'' And in her elemental photograph of a beached dinghy, "Quiet Morning,'' Franklin photographer Rebecca Skinner hints of the promise of a fishing trip.
An award-winning artist who teaches advanced painting at the Danforth Museum School in Framingham, Collins chose an eclectic selection of works for the three prize winners and three honorable mentions.
Sheridan won first place with her dramatic oil of crashing surf, "Rocky Coast'' and Pam Short, of Lancaster, earned second place with her vivid rendering of a fading path winding through a fading field, "The Road Less Traveled.'' Roberta Anslow, of Bolton, took third with her large, dramatic photo on aluminum, "Rock Harbor Noir II.''
Collins' three honorable mention choices include a mix of paintings tending towards abstraction and a photo of classical simplicity. Deanna Snow, of Marlborough, was awarded for her acrylic, "Stinky Car Man,'' which jumbled perspective, and Verna Friedman, of Marlborough, was honored for her "Climbing Vines'' which uses acrylics to suggest the fecund profusion of summer. Hudson photographer Jon Don Richardson captured a tableaux of elegant simplicity as seagulls glide across a grey sky in "Fog Approaches.''
Most works in the show are for sale. The show runs through Aug. 30.
Several artists are showing striking works that will transport viewers beyond New England's boundaries.
Marlborough artist Elaine Wilkinson portrays the rolling hill country of Arizona in her oil painting and Lisa Bailey, of Franklin, carries viewers into tropical waters in her colorful acrylic "Sea Fantasy.''
Some of the most exciting works in the exhibit are by artists who have given viewers an altered perspective of what constitutes a landscape or seascape.
In her vivid "Manscape,'' Jessica Hall, of Brookline, uses acrylics to consider the male body in a new light, and in "View from Above,'' Judy Schneider, of Framingham, takes an airborne view of a summer landscape.
And working in distinctive mediums, Wendy Converse, of Worcester, used fired ceramics to forge miniature mountain villages and Tobi Hoffman, of Ashland, expressed a lovely ocean sunset and seascape on embroidered fabric.
"Landscape / Seascape 2012''
WHEN: Through Aug. 30
WHERE: Post Road Art Center, 1 Boston Post Road, East, Marlborough

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed an executive order seeking better protection of the country's critical infrastructure from cyber attacks that are a growing concern to the economy and national security.
The long-expected executive order, unveiled in the State of the Union speech, follows last year's failed attempt by the U.S. Congress to pass a law to confront continuing electronic attacks on the networks of U.S. companies and government agencies.
The order, which does not have the same force as law, directs federal authorities to improve information sharing on cyber threats - including some that may be classified - with companies that provide or support critical infrastructure.
Cyber attacks in recent months targeted a succession of major U.S. companies and government agencies, adding fuel to the debate about how the government and the private sector, which runs most of the critical U.S. infrastructure, can best protect sensitive information.
"We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mail," Obama said in the address. "We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy."
The new order directs government officials, led by the secretary of homeland security, in the next year to create standards to reduce cybersecurity risks.
The government will offer incentives to encourage companies to adopt them, but because it lacks legal enforcement power, adoption of the so-called Cybersecurity Framework will be voluntary.
To help companies protect themselves, the order also will set up a program to ease delivery of classified cyber threat information to eligible companies. It also calls for expedited security clearances for some company employees who deal with critical infrastructure.
The executive order carries no power to compel companies to reciprocate or to exchange cybersecurity information among themselves. That is one reason why White House officials underscore that the order does not replace legislation that Congress could once again undertake this year.
"It's not an end of the conversation and in fact it's just a continuation of it," said one senior administration official.
Last year's bill, which also included liability protection for companies, is expected to be reintroduced on Wednesday, according to its author, Republican Representative Mike Rogers, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee.
"We agree that our biggest barriers to bolster our cyber defenses can be fixed only with legislation," Rogers said.
His bill last year passed the House of Representatives but not the Senate, largely because of concerns about expansion of federal regulations and protecting private information when it comes to sharing private data with the government.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the powerful business lobby, reiterated its opposition to "expansion or creation of new regulatory regimes" and called Obama's order unnecessary.
Obama's executive order requires government officials to comply with and routinely assess privacy standards and civil liberties protections.
Many influential lawmakers and industry heavyweights welcomed Obama's move as a step closer to a comprehensive cyber security law that bolsters a partnership between the public and private sectors.
"These activities represent a down payment in the protection of our nation's cyber infrastructure, which Congress will build upon as they develop comprehensive cybersecurity legislation," said Michael Chertoff, former secretary of homeland security under President George W. Bush. He called the executive order a "critical step in protecting America."
A trio of Republican senators and leaders in national security - John McCain, Saxby Chambliss and John Thune - said the executive action could not "achieve the balanced approach" that a Congressional law would and pledged to ensure thorough oversight of any action directed by the order.
"The Senate should follow regular order and craft legislation that will have an immediate impact on our nation's cybersecurity without adding or prompting regulations that could discourage innovation and negatively impact our struggling economy," they said in a joint statement.

The Minor League Game of the Week
Garret Anderson (pictured) and Maicer Izturis were in the lineup on rehab assignment July 1 when the Quakes hosted Lancaster.
July 1, 2007 — The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes slug it out with the Lancaster Jethawks at The Epicenter.
Lancaster was the California League's top offense in 2007. They scored 1,081 runs in 140 games — that's 7.7 runs per game, and 206 more than the second highest, Lake Elsinore. That number was helped, naturally, by playing in their high-octane high-desert ballpark, Clear Channel Stadium (formerly known as The Hangar). But those numbers are just so far beyond anyone else that you have to give their offense some credit, and they certainly brought their bats this day to The Epicenter.
The Quakes brought their own bats too, led by catcher Ben Johnson, who hits two homers and a double. Outfielder Chris Pettit, recently promoted from Cedar Rapids and in the middle of a standout season that will earn him the Angels minor league player of the year award, also homers.
On the mound for Rancho Cucamonga is Tim Schoeninger, making his Cal League debut after an outstanding first half with Cedar Rapids. Also in the lineup for the Quakes are Angels players Garret Anderson and Maicer Izturis, making rehab appearances.

It's Chinese New Year!!! and the Year of the Ox!
I've prepared a week of exciting lessons that incorporate China. We'll be reading Yeh-Shen - A Cinderella Story from China, retold by Ai-Ling Louie, and The Greatest Treasure, retold by Demi. I'll be able to use both stories for lessons on story elements, character traits, and for a compare/contrast study. There is also plenty of rich vocabulary in these stories for my ELLs to experiment with and add to their word wall.
During writing, we'll use these stories to talk about similes and metaphors, and later to examine descriptive language. I want my students to write a reflective piece about why and how they are like their animal in the Chinese zodiac. We'll also read Chinese Proverbs, collected by Ruthanne Lum McCunn. I'll then invite the students to select their favorite proverb to paraphrase and illustrate.
Since we're already into geometry, we'll use tangrams and work on visual/spatial skills, symmetry, and patterns. We'll review geography skills using maps of China and Asia. I've prepared science lessons on Chinese inventions and phases of the moon. We'll also take a look at the Chinese zodiac; kids (and adults!) like to figure out what animal they are.
I'm also hoping to assign a couple of art activities, which they'll end up having to do at home anyway. One is a fan; the design on the fan tells a story. I'll use this as a follow-up to the stories we read, but I'll also give the option to create an original story. After they look at art depicting dragons, and examine a Chinese Dragon website, they'll also get to design their own dragon, including its name, special features, and qualities.
I know I've over planned, as usual. I know it's wishful thinking that we'll get to all of it, considering interruptions, fire drills, and the reality of having to clarify and facilitate language for my ELLs every step of the way. But I'm hopeful. My kids are enthusiastic, and they're making great strides in so many ways. Besides, I know where they're at and I go with it. I'm helping and pushing them along gently, backing off when I know I must.
As the Chinese proverb says - You cannot help shoots grow by pulling them up.

Franklin gets a key first-down late in the game to seal the victory
against Thomas More.
Photo by Ralph Greenslade for D3sports.com
(FRANKLIN, Ind.) - The 20th-ranked Thomas More College football team's rally fell short as the Saints fell, 24-21, to 17th-ranked Franklin today (Saturday, November 19, 2011) in the first round of the NCAA Division III Football Championship Playoff at Stewart "Red" Faught Stadium in Franklin, Indiana.

The Saints cut the lead to 17-14 with 7:44 to play in the third quarter when sophomore running back Domonique Hayden (Lexington, Ky./Lexington Christian Academy) scored on a two-yard run and Gormly added the PAT.
Franklin increased the lead to 24-14 with 13:14 to play in the fourth quarter when Jonny West connected on a 16-yard touchdown pass to Logan Worley and Richards added the PAT.
Thomas More cut the lead to 24-21 Hayden scored on a six-yard run on a fourth and one and Gormly added the PAT with 6:20 to play in the game.
Franklin then got the ball back and ran out the clock.
Magness led the offense as he was 12-for-21 passing for 110 yards and had 23 rushes for 24 yards. Hayden finished the game with 14 carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns, while Owens had five catches for 45 yards and added four punt returns for 124 yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, the Saints were led by junior defensive back Zach Autenrieb (Cincinnati, Ohio/Elder) with 11 tackles, including two for a loss and senior linebacker Zach Mink (Cleves, Ohio/Taylor) with nine tackles.

While I have an extensive cookbook collection that requires weeding in the range of 30-50 cookbooks every few years, I rarely use these cookbooks for cooking. I read them, inspired by great food writing and infused with new knowledge of different flavor combinations and cooking techniques.
There are three exceptions to my not-cooking-from-the cookbook rule: the Barcelona Cookbook by my friend Andy Pforzheimer, David Chang's Momofuku, and now Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi.
Jerusalem is an exceptional cookbook, a book that comes around only once in a blue moon. It manages to capture with much love and respect the melange of cultures, religions, and food that characterize a city mostly seen through the lens of conflict. I couldn't help but cook from this cookbook to experience for myself this vibrant, colorful world through Ottolenghi's eyes.
Today's adventure was turkey-zucchini patties seasoned with cumin, cilantro, and mint. The shredded zucchini adds moisture and makes the patties juicy and tender. I particularly enjoyed the sour cream and sumac sauce, lemony and fresh. I don't use sumac all that much in my cooking, but I believe it will play a bigger role in my kitchen from now on.

So, with just less than 24 hours to the NHL trade deadline, Twitter almost broke.
What's it do for an encore Wednesday?
The Tuesday trade of Roberto Luongo by the Vancouver Canucks to the Florida Panthers, which had so many different tangents and layers, had my timeline gushing like a firehose.
An impending deal involving a Canuck had been rumoured, but it was Luongo's teammate, Ryan Kesler, who was the subject of most of the talk.
Luongo was dealt to the Panthers for young goaltender Jacob Markstrom, who hasn't progressed as fast as the Panthers and their fans would have liked, and forward Shawn Matthias.
This is a classic case of a trade that might wind up hurting both teams.
The Panthers, who are in a serious rebuild (or should be), now have a 34-year-old goaltender with an onerous contract with eight years to run and a 39-year-old in Tim Thomas (though Thomas could be gone before Wednesday's deadline).
The Canucks, just three years removed from the 2011 Stanley Cup final, have now dealt away Cory Schneider and Luongo and have inexperienced Eddie Lack and Markstrom in net.
What are the Canucks doing? They signed the Sedins to contract extensions, but have been in talks to move Kesler, who, might have been the best two-way forward in the game during the Canucks run to the final.
They deal away Luongo and go way young in nets.
Rebuilding? Retooling?
The deal ends the two-year saga for Luongo, who was caught off guard by the deal after thinking he might get traded during the summer, only to see Schneider, who had supplanted him as the Canucks' No. 1, get the ticket out of town to New Jersey.
There was some thinking Luongo had to have his nose out of joint when he wasn't given the start in the Heritage Classic against the Ottawa Senators Sunday — a final snub in a series of them in the last couple of years in Vancouver — but it's possible the Canucks held him out of the game because talks had begun on this deal.
So now Luongo gets to return to his chosen destination of South Florida, where he still has roots from the five years he spent there (2000-01 to 2005-06) where he — for now — gets to share the net with Tim Thomas, with whom he fabulously dueled when they opposed each other in the Stanley Cup final in 2011.
Twitter was blowing up with "pumping tire" jokes, a reference to Thomas' quote in 2011 after Luongo complained about not getting any love from the then-Boston Bruins goaltender.
"I didn't realize," said Thomas, "it was my job to pump his tires."
The Luongo deal was the most intriguing of a bunch of trades that went down almost exactly 24 hours before Wednesday's 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline. For the sake of my colleagues on the box and hockey fans who look forward to this day, here's hoping they were the nachos and chicken wings before the main meal arrives.
Or, in the case of Dustin Penner, who moved from the Anaheim Ducks to the Washington Capitals, the pancakes (Google it).
Of course, there were still lots of what qualify as the "big" names this year out there for the taking as Wednesday's deadling approached.
While most of the players in play are your usual potential unrestricted free agents who will be rental players — the Thomas Vaneks and Matt Moulsons of the world — the Kesler situation bears watching.
Talks were supposedly continuing into Tuesday night on the potential of dealing Kesler, who has two more years to go on a deal that pays a pretty cap-friendly hit of $5 million.
Rumours were the Pittsburgh Penguins were still in on Kesler, while talk the Philadelphia Flyers, who once signed Kesler to an offer sheet, were lukewarm and more interested in driving up the price for their cross-state rivals.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting the Penguins were offering a package of centre Brandon Sutter, a choice of top prospect defencemen Simon Despres or Brian Dumoulin and the Penguins 2014 first- and third-round draft picks.
"That's a good package," said a pro scout from a Western Conference team. "Vancouver has little on the farm."
The Canucks had a hand in almost breaking Twitter Tuesday.
If they do a deal to move Kesler before 3 p.m. Wednesday, they might do it again.
It remains to be seen if Martin Brodeur's days as a New Jersey Devil are over, but Devils fans weren't taking any chances on missing what might have been the future Hall of Fame goaltender's final appearance.
The average price on the secondary market for a ticket to the Devils game against the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday at the Prudential Center was $107, more than double what it was 24 hours earlier.
StubHub, a ticket broker site, was seeing page views up 780% over its average for a Devils game, spokesman Cameron Papp told NJ.com.
Brodeur had been surpassed as the Devils starter by goaltender Cory Schneider, acquired over the summer from the Vancouver Canucks, and there had been speculation going into Wednesday's trade deadline that Brodeur would be dealt.
It remains to be seen if Brodeur is done as a Devil. One way or the other, he'll have put some extra cash in a lot of people's pockets.

Faced with a veto-proof congressional mandate to stop adding oil to America's emergency reserve, President Bush is closing the spigot. But hopes that the move would lower oil prices have so far failed to materialize.
On Friday, oil closed over $126 a barrel, up more than $2.50. Gasoline prices also hit a record Friday – $3.79 a gallon, according to the AAA car club.
Energy analysts say the action won't have any impact on prices.
"It's a drop in the ocean," says Mike Fitzpatrick of MF Global, a commodities trading company in New York. "I guess every barrel helps at this point, but it probably won't even translate into a drop of a penny or two."
The president's decision means that some 66,000 barrels of oil per day that normally would be added to the 703 million-barrel Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in Texas and Louisiana will be sold instead to oil companies.
The issue of filling the SPR had become a political football in recent weeks. President Bush wanted to continue filling the SPR with another 24 million barrels of oil. However, the major presidential candidates – Sens. John McCain, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Barack Obama – were all opposed. On Tuesday, Congress passed legislation mandating the president immediately halt adding to the oil reserve.
"Congress is desperate; they know people are mad," says Phil Flynn of Alaron Trading in Chicago.
On Friday, the Department of Energy announced it would not sign new contracts to continue filling the SPR.
Some energy analysts think the move can be viewed as a symbolic gesture to align federal policy with the sacrifices that ordinary Americans are making. "From the perspective of the American consumer, who is struggling week after week to fill the gas tank, it is bothersome to be competing for the same resources," says Geoff Sundstrom of AAA in Heathrow, Fla. "When we are telling people to remove the golf clubs from the back of the SUV, then we all need to get on board or these prices will never come down."
Yet other energy analysts questioned whether the government should keep adding to the SPR with prices soaring. "It seems reasonable to halt adding oil when prices are so high," says Tim Considine, who has done a study on the SPR and is a professor at Penn State University. "But I don't think the price of oil is going to drop. It's too small an amount to really matter."
Even without the congressional action, it was likely that the government was going to have cut back on adding oil to the SPR because it was nearly full. In 2005, Congress authorized increasing the size of the SPR to 1 billion barrels. But that underground storage facility won't be ready for at least eight years, says Jeremy Cusimano, an economist for the Petroleum Reserves, part of the Energy Department, in Washington. In addition, Congress has yet to provide significant funding for the facility, he adds.
Although the Energy Department has contracts to receive oil through the end of June, it will defer those contracts, says Mr. Cusimano. "But ships on the water will not be diverted."
On the day the Energy Department was making its announcement, President Bush met with Saudi leaders to seek an expansion of oil supplies. According to news reports, the Saudis had already increased oil production by 300,000 barrels of oil per day. This will take Saudi production back to early 2006 levels, wrote Jennifer Gordon of Deutsche Bank securities in a memo to clients on Friday.
She noted that much of the additional Saudi production is on its way to the US, including 16 million barrels of crude that was sold earlier and will arrive in the next two weeks. The additional oil, she calculated, could significantly increase inventories and possibly bring down the oil price.
However, Mr. Fitzpatrick wonders if the Saudi move may have the reverse affect. "It may show how little spare capacity they really have," he says.
This week some analysts have increased their estimate for the price of oil. Goldman Sachs estimated oil prices would hit around $140 a barrel later this year. Mr. Fitzpatrick is estimating it will move to $138 a barrel before September.

Gardner Denver Expected to Fetch More than $75 Per Share From KKR
KKR & Co. is nearing a deal to buy industrial pumps manufacturer Gardner Denver Inc. for more than $75 a share, said a person familiar with the matter.
The deal values Gardner Denver, which employs roughly 6,400 people, at more than $3.68 billion and could be announced in coming days, the person said. Gardner Denver closed at $73.62 on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, giving it a market capitalization of about $3.61 billion.
KKR had bid $75 a share for the Wayne, Pa.-based company in February and increased the offer after Gardner Denver's board sought a higher price, the person said.
KKR, the New York private-equity firm, appeared to be the only suitor as the hot-and-cold sales process dragged on in recent months. Other buyout firms, including TPG, Onex Corp. and CCMP Capital Advisors, earlier showed interested in Gardner Denver but proved less enthusiastic than KKR, people familiar with the matter have said.
Reuters earlier Monday reported that a deal was near.
A number of private-equity firms late last year expressed interest in Gardner Denver, which posted sales of roughly $2.4 billion last year. But Gardner Denver pursued negotiations with rival SPX Corp, which offered closer to $4 billion for the company. SPX eventually dropped its bid amid negative reaction from shareholders, and Gardner Denver moved on to gauge interest from other buyout firms.

Hire the best Plumber experts in JERVIS BAY, ACT
The plumbing system in the house is oftentimes left ignored until important issues have risen with pipes leaking with water or even clogging. Since this undertaking leaves less room for error, it is essential to get the help of experienced plumbers for repair or even inspection. There are many possible scenarios when things can go wrong in your dwelling's waterworks. One of the most common dilemmas faced by homeowners is when their pipes burst open and water just continues to gush until we are left ankle-deep in it. Additionally, many experiences a clogged toilet and a dripping faucet which can both be such a nuisance. Showering may also be stressful when you are in a hurry and there is only a trickle flowing out from it which might be due to blockage. While some problems can be done by a handyman, it is still necessary to hire professional local plumbers in Jervis Bay, ACT when the trouble involves a damaged fixture that could imperil your house's structural integrity. Moreover, a sloppily finished result done by an inexperienced contractor could give you more headaches in the future and burn a larger hole in your pocket as they could cost you a hefty amount to repair.

National Science Board recommends giant survey telescope
This week, the National Science Board recommended proceeding to the final design stage for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), a telescope with a 330-inch mirror to be located in Chile, which will survey over half of the sky. Penn State has been a member of the LSST project since 2005. "The data that LSST will gather during its ten years of operation will offer us an unprecedented view of the universe, and will allow us to investigate important questions ranging from charting unknown objects in our own solar system to the large-scale structure of the universe and the nature of dark energy and dark matter," said Lawrence Ramsey, a member of the LSST Board of Directors as well as a Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics and an Eberly College of Science Distinguished Senior Scholar at Penn State. Among the many scientific programs enabled by the telescope are the identification of "Near Earth Asteroids," bodies whose orbits indicate that they could collide with the Earth.
