Contour Crafting Picks Up Speed
In 2006, Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis, professor at the University of Southern California, introduced the world to Contour Crafting: the idea of applying Computer Aided Design and 3D Printing to homes and eventually larger buildings. As Dr. Khoshnevis explains in this TED Talk, Contour Crafting uses a giant 3D printer that hangs over a designated space and robotically builds up the walls of that building with layers of concrete. The robot can paint the walls and tile surfaces and even knows to construct plumbing and electrical wiring as it goes (Dvice). The idea is that by automating the construction process – one of the only processes humans still do largely by hand – homes will be cheaper and more quickly erected, with significantly lower labor costs. More importantly, Khoshnevis believes that Contour Crafting is essential to creating a more "dignified" architecture by eliminating slums in developing countries and aiding areas in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster.
While Dr. Khoshnevis continues to develop Contour Craft, Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars has already come up with the first house design that can be printed using this up-and-coming technology.

How 3D Printing Will Change Our World
When the kids at NOTLabs first got their hands on a MakerBot Replicator, the ingenious 3D printer that can make just about anything you want, they quickly got down to business – making LEGO and Kinex connectors, that is. As inconsequential as their decision may seem, it got us thinking: today, building blocks, but tomorrow? Buildings themselves.
The future isn't as far as you may think. In the next two articles, I'll introduce you to three visionaries who are already applying 3D printing technology to revolutionary effect: an engineer hoping to improve the human condition, a robotics expert with the goal of completing the Sagrada Familia (or at least putting a structure on the moon), and an architect at MIT using nature-inspired materials to turn the design world on its head.
If these three examples are anything to go by, 3D Printing will revolutionize the world as we know it. But it begs the question: at what price? Will it offer architects the freedom to design without the pesky limitations of built reality? Or, like the scribes made redundant by Gutenberg's printing press, will 3D printing make the architect go extinct?
Contour Crafting / Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis
At first glance, Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis' Contour Crafting (CC) seems both fascinating and unreal – a fabrication machine that has the potential to construct entire structures in a single run. Supported by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research, CC's combination of conventional robotics and "age-old tools" creates a layered fabrication process where large-scale parts can be fabricated at remarkable speeds. On his blog, Khoshnevis, a professor in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, explains that the system is a scale-up of the rapid prototyping machines now widely used in industry to "print out" three-dimensional objects designed with CAD/CAM software, usually by building up successive layers of plastic. "Instead of plastic, Contour Crafting will use concrete," explained Khoshnevis.

Israel's "disengagement plan" threatens to cut off Palestinians from economy
Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon announced an initiative on Thursday that would prevent Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza from working in Israel. Before the rise of the Intifada in 2000, some 125,000 Palestinians crossed into Israel every day, earning a total of $3.4 million.
The policy is part of Sharon's "disengagement plan", an alternative to the US-backed Road Map peace initiative. In the event of the Road Map's failure to bring stability to the region in the next few months, the Israeli government will implement unilateral steps for separation from the Palestinians, Sharon announced in a major policy address Thursday, December 18, 2003.
Israel has repeatedly closed its borders since the outbreak of violence in October 2000, preventing Palestinian workers from commuting to their jobs. The Jewish state permitted 10,000 Palestinian workers and 1,000 merchants from the Gaza Strip to cross through the Erez checkpoint in early September after entrance was restricted in mid-August following a Jerusalem suicide bombing that killed 20 people.
The new plan would make border closures permanent in an effort to reduce Palestinian economic dependence on Israel and strengthen economic ties between the territories and neighboring Arab states, said the Prime Minister.
"We will consider allowing, in coordination with Jordan and Egypt, the freer passage of people and goods through the international crossings, while implementing the required security measures," Sharon said in his address.
According to the World Bank, The proximate cause of the Palestinian economic crisis is the Israeli government's imposition of restrictions on the movement of people and goods across borders and within the West Bank and Gaza. With unemployment rising and incomes collapsing, over half a million Palestinians in this formerly middle-income economy are now fully dependent on food aid. — (menareport.com)

The Corpse-grinder that is Team Bondi
Here's a funny story: when I was fresh out of university wondering what the hell I was going to do with my life oh, maybe 5 years ago, I happened upon a game developer in Sydney. It was Team Bondi and they were making, as they described it, 'GTA set in the middle of last century'. I can't remember who I saw or even exactly what the role was (no doubt 'Junior-[insert alternative for shitkicker]') but the fact is I didn't get the job. Thank heavens I didn't.
Now that L.A. Noire has shipped, and is in fact nothing at all like GTA, IGN Australia has published a riveting expose on what is quit possibly the most exploitative studio in the world. If they're to be believed, the man above is not only a collosally poor manager, but also a colosal prick. To summarise the article, 100 hour weeks were common throughout the troubled 7-year cycle, the boss was dictatorial despite lacking a clear vision or good management at any level and now 100s of people who worked on the game have not been credited anywhere for the project.
Brendan McNamara takes the cake though when he comments that his only regret is doing it in Sydney. I find it funny that some cocky Brit with one hit under his belt can relocate here, act an atrocious boss, devoid of any talent if the accounts are true, and then claim that the real problem is the Sydneysider work ethic. Fuck him. He rode Sony's cock to success with The Getaway and even they dumped him for failing to deliver with L.A. Noire. No surprise- between platform shifts, rapid technology changes and the gall for someone in HR to tell me the game was effectively a GTA out of time it's apparent that vision was clearly lacking throughout.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: L.A. Noire is a bloated, overstuffed monstrosity that wouldn't have received half its notice had it not coasted on Rockstar's coattails. Despite that I feel sympathy for the 100s of artists, coders and designers who were mercilessly burnt through by the travesty of management at Team Bondi. According to IGN, many of them will never work in games again solely because of how they badly were ill-treated on this project. McNamara thinks he'd have had it easier had he opened up shop in Canada or the US. Go ahead and do so you talentless tyrant and leave what's left of Australia's already-struggling game industry alone.

Adjudicating "misbehavior": how can scientists respond when they don't get fair credit?

That post was where I landed after thinking [...]Keep reading »
When focusing on individual responsibility obscures shared responsibility.
Over many years of writing about ethics in the conduct of science, I've had occasion to consider many cases of scientific misconduct and misbehavior, instances of honest mistakes and culpable mistakes.

Sandra the 'Steve' Stalker
Mary Pols, Special to MSN Movies
There's something about Mary Horowitz, the character Sandra Bullock plays in "All About Steve," and someone with access to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders could probably name exactly what it is. The untrained eye would call it Asperger's syndrome, although "All About Steve," a movie far less brave than its star, seems to be determined to reduce Mary's issues to cute eccentricities.
She's brilliant with words and facts and makes an extremely small living creating crossword puzzles for the (fictional) Sacramento Herald. She lives at home with her Jewish father (Howard Hesseman) and Catholic mother (Beth Grant). She's beautiful, trim and does justice to a pair of shiny red boots, but she cannot process social cues. Her interactions with the opposite sex are few and far between, for reasons that become obvious 30 seconds into her blind date with Steve (Bradley Cooper), the son of a family friend who she mounts in the front seat of his car while it is still parked in front of her parent's house.
"And now I'm going to eat you like a mountain lion," she announces. Steve looks alarmed, as he should, feigns a cell phone call commanding him to come to work -- he is a TV cameraman, who works for a CNN-like cable company that appears, improbably, to be based in Sacramento -- and extricates himself from her clutches. Mary, feeling the pressure to be more "normal" (i.e., married), interprets a casually off-hand remark he makes as an invitation to join him on the road, and begins to stalk him as he and his crew, blustery reporter Hartman (Thomas Haden Church) and their wrangler Angus (Ken Jeong) roam the country in pursuit of various breaking news stories.
There are decent comic moments to keep the movie afloat, thanks to a supporting cast that includes D.J. Qualls, the man to call whenever you need a cute weirdo. Jeong, who also starred in "The Hangover" with Cooper, is droll. Jason Jones of "The Daily Show" gets a few mild laughs as Hartman's main rival, and Cooper is rapidly ascending to the throne of self-centered movie dudes. "Oh, wow, this is all about me!" he says with boyish pleasure when he opens the Sacramento Herald to see that Mary has dedicated an entire crossword to him (it's called "All About Steve"). There's a beat, and then he repeats the line, but this time with dread.
Bullock produced the movie, and it's a shame she didn't give its director, Phil Traill, who hails from English TV, and writer, Kim Barker ("License to Wed"), some tough notes. The movie starts out looking like a broader version of "As Good As It Gets," aiming to do for Asperger's syndrome (or whatever it is Mary suffers from) what Jack Nicholson did for obsessive-compulsives. Mary is a real challenge, and if it weren't for Bullock's innate appeal, we'd quickly find her as much of a nuisance as Steve does. She's sad. We actually see her pick a Twinkie wrapper off the floor of Steve's truck and tuck it into her bra. She needs help of some sort, and a love interest is not going to fix her.
Then the movie chickens out. We're led to believe that Mary might actually take no for an answer, but Hartman intervenes and starts telling her Steve is just afraid of his feelings, and so on. He encourages her to pursue them from Oklahoma City to Galveston and then on to Colorado, where a group of hearing impaired children who have fallen down an old mine shaft provide the movie's dramatic climax. Hartman is egomaniacal, and Steve doesn't protect him from occasionally making a fool of himself on camera, but beyond that, there's no apparent motivation for him to toy with Mary, beyond plot convenience, of course. He's the thing that lets Mary -- and the movie -- off the crazy hook. It quickly devolves into one of those "what's normal anyway?" stories, and Bullock's dedication to the role is ultimately undermined.Mary Pols is a Bay Area-based journalist. She reviews movies for Time.com and was for many years a film critic for the San Jose Mercury News, Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times. She is also the author of a memoir, "Accidentally on Purpose," published in 2008 by Ecco/ Harper Collins. When she's inspired, usually by something weird, she blogs about it at www.maryfpols.com.

Woodstock Farms Organic Shredded Coconut - 7 oz (198g)
Woodstock Organic Shredded Coconut is naturally sweet with no added sweeteners. Add some shredded organic coconut to your favorite cake and cookie recipes. Woodstock Farms Organic Shredded Coconut makes your pies, cookies and muffins naturally sweet and delicious.
Non-GMOTwenty-five years ago, they began selling natural and organic foods with the belief that good food came from simple ingredients farmed from sources you could trust. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), because of their threat to human, animal, and environmental health, pose a threat to Woodstock's core belief of keeping it simple and eating because it's good.
What are Genetically Modified Organisms? Woodstock adheres to the definition according to the 1996 Organic Trade Association definition of Genetically Modified Organisms as those "… made with techniques that alter the molecular or cell biology of an organism by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes." As such, GMOs may contain substances that have never been part of the human food supply.
Consider this… The governments of at least 30 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan and all the countries of the European Union, do not consider GMOs to be safe and are, therefore, significantly restricted or banned outright. Contrary to that widespread opinion, the US and Canadian governments have approved GMO crops for commercial use based on safety studies conducted by the same companies who developed the organisms.
There are concerns regarding the impact of GM foods including:
What steps will Woodstock take?
American Farmland TrustWoodstock is an official sponsor and will be raising awareness and funds on behalf of the non-profit organization, American Farmland Trust. Through their "No Farms, No Food" message, American Farmland Trust (AFT) has been raising awareness on the importance of "Saving the Land" for sustainable farming.
AFT promotes local farming efforts in all 50 states, which is to say they are a national organization comprised of hundreds of local initiatives. What this all adds up to is an organization dedicated to preserving our domestic farmland for sustainable use. Over 70% of Woodstock products are domestically sourced. So, supporting domestic farming efforts is not just something Woodstock believes in, it is a way they do business.
Founded in 1980, American Farmland Trust has hundreds of success stories to their credit. Like every non-profit, they are dedicated to the cause. But, they need our help to continue to make an impact.
Woodstock Story
It all started for Woodstock over 25 years ago, when they began selling natural and organic foods with belief that good food came from simple ingredients farmed from sources you could trust. Over the years, they've all seen a lot of food trends come and go with plenty of experts telling them what, and what not, to eat. All along, their belief has remained the same. Keep it simple and eat because it's good!
They've grown a lot since they launched their first nut butter. Today, they're 250+ products strong in over ten categories. Over 70% of their products are domestically sourced and 75% are USDA Organic. They have almost 200 products currently enrolled and 68 verified with the Non-GMO Project. Recently, they teamed up with non-profit American Farmland Trust to raise awareness about the importance of preserving land for sustainable farming.

FRIDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Social pressure for gay
parents to raise heterosexual children can cause stress for these
families and make it harder for gay children of gay parents to get
the support they need, says an expert.
Research shows that children raised by lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender parents are psychologically healthy and often do
better at school and have a lower incidence of social problems than
their peers, according to family therapist and social worker Arlene
Istar Lev of Albany, N.Y.
But many gay parents still feel that in order to prove they're
good parents, they have to raise heterosexual children, Lev
explained in an article published in the September issue of the
Family Process.
"Gay parents [just like heterosexual parents] may struggle with having gay or transgender children, in part because they identify with the obstacles their children will face, and in part because of the societal pressure they feel to raise 'normal' children," Lev pointed out in a news release from the journal's publisher.
She added that gay parents who see their own identity as an
advantage, instead of something to be overcome, have a unique
ability to nurture their children's emerging selves.
"If it is okay to be gay then it has to be okay for the children of gay people to be gay also," Lev said in the news release.
Most children of gay parents are heterosexual and some are not,
just like the children of heterosexual parents, noted Lev, who's
been working with gay families for nearly three decades.
Gay parents' differences should be acknowledged and honored,
rather than pressuring them to be "just like" straight parents, she
"We need to stop saying that being [gay] has no influence on children's identities; of course it does. Maybe whatever it is that we are doing 'differently' is the reason our children are doing so well," Lev suggested.

Nicholson Museum research projects
The Nicholson Museum currently conducts, supports and collaborates on a range of research projects, which includes:
- hosting local, interstate and international researchers accessing the Nicholson Museum's extensive collections for publication purposes
- faciliting cross departmental research
- assisting students to access the collections for honours and postgraduate studies and research projects
- supporting new and ongoing archaeological investigations.
Current Projects
Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum Vol II
The volume, a collaboration between Michael Turner Senior Curator of the Nicholson Museum and Professor Alexander Cambitoglou, Director of the Archaeological Institute of Australia, is published under the auspices of the Union Académique Internationale in Paris. It is due for publication 2014.
Established in 1919, the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum (CVA) series brings together the known holdings of Greek and Italian pottery held in museums and private collections around the world into a standard format. There are now nearly three hundred and fifty volumes from twenty-six countries in the series.
This will be the second CVA to be written on an Australian collection. The first was written by the same authors and published in 2008 (currently available for purchase via abebooks.com). This second volume focuses on the Nicholson Museum's collection of South Italian pottery from Lucania, Paestum, Campania and Sicily. Many of the pieces to be published were acquired by the museum's founder Sir Charles Nicholson and given to the University in 1860. Since then the South Italian collection has grown through gifts and purchases and now numbers over two hundred and fifty items.
The volume has been made possible through the support of the CVA Committee of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and with the generous financial support of the late Professor J.A. Young, Mr Spiros Arvanitakis, Mrs Zoe Kominatos, the Faculty of Arts, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry at the University of Sydney, and the Nicholson Museum.
Archaeological excavations in Nea Paphos in Cyprus
This project is co-directed by Emeritus Professor J Richard Green, Dr Smadar Gabrieli, and Dr Craig Barker, Manager of Education and Public Programs, Sydney University Museums
The Nicholson Museum is a sponsor and major supporter of the University of Sydney's archaeological excavations at Nea Paphos in Cyprus along with the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens. Excavations of the Theatre have been ongoing since 1995, conducted under the auspices of the Department of Antiquities of the Republic of Cyprus. Current fieldwork is concentrating on the excavations of the Hellenistic-Roman period theatre, in use in antiquity for over 6 centuries, as well as investigating the urban layout of the theatre precinct including paved Roman roads and a Roman nymphaeum (water house). To find out more about this research project or how to get involved please visit the Paphos Theatre project website or contact Dr Craig Barker via email .
Woodhouse Photographic Collection
This is a collaborative project involving Snr Curator Michael Turner, Prof. John Papadopolous (UCLA), Prof. Vrasidas Karalis, Emeritus Prof. Richard Green, Dr. Craig Barker, Dr. Elizabeth Bollen and Dr. Rowan Conroy
The Nicholson Museum is currently undertaking a new publication of the W J Woodhouse historic photograph collection. Whilst travelling throughout Greece between 1890 and 1936, former curator William J Woodhouse captured both the monumental ruins of the Ancient Greek world and the contemporary Greek landscape and culture.
This volume will encapsulate the majesty of the Greek country side and Classical archaeological monuments as Woodhouse found them on his travels in the early 20th century.
Tomb VI, Asproyi, Cyprus
This project was undertaken by the late Professor Hector Catling former Senior Assistant Keeper at the Ashmolean Museum, Honorary Fellow of St John's College Oxford and former Director of the British School at Athens
The late Professor Catling, completed research on the material from Tomb IV at the site of Asproyi, Kouklia (Paleopaphos) in Cyprus in preparation for publication. The material was excavated during the St Andrews University and Liverpool Museum expedition to Cyprus in 1954. A portion of the material from the tombs was given to the Nicholson Museum during the Curatorship of J.R. Stewart, another prominent Cypriot archaeologist. The material in the Nicholson includes ceramics, ivory and bone artefacts and some metals. The material dates to the late thirteenth and early twelfth centuries BC.

Did Twitter save Bletchley Park?
The pivotal role of Twitter in saving Bletchley Park is to be highlighted in a public lecture at the University of York.
Bletchley Park is the historic site of secret British codebreaking activities during World War II and birthplace of the modern computer. The work carried out there is said to have shortened the war by two years, possibly saving 22 million lives.
Yet despite its historical importance, when Dr Sue Black visited the park, now a museum, in July 2008, she was appalled at the state of decay it had fallen into, and started a campaign to save it from being lost to the nation.
In a lecture at the University's Ron Cooke Hub on Wednesday, 7 March, Dr Black, a Senior Research Associate at University College London, will discuss how the use of social media, particularly Twitter, helped save Bletchley Park.
She will describe the Saving Bletchley Park campaign, exploring the effectiveness of traditional versus social media, highlighting how the use of social media contributed greatly to campaign success.
Since the campaign started, visitor numbers have increased, along with public awareness of the contribution of the site to world heritage and the history of the computer. Recently the Park received £4.6 million funding from the UK Heritage Lottery Fund.
Dr Black will be joined by Simon Greenish, Director of Bletchley Park, who will describe the history of Bletchley Park from the Domesday Book through to the present day.
The event is part of the Computer Science Athena Swan initiative to promote women in science.
Professor John Clark, from the Department of Computer Science, said: "Computer Science is very pleased to have Dr Black, winner of the British Computer Society's inaugural John Ivinson Award, as its external Roundhouse public lecturer for 2012.
"Sue's skill and energy in campaigning for Bletchley Park are deeply appreciated. She has a habit of making things happen. In this case she utilised social media to raise awareness of the historic value of Bletchley. People have their opinions on social media; some love them, some dismiss them. Her talk will demonstrate what their determined and imaginative use can achieve."
"Did Twitter save Bletchley Park?" takes place at the Ron Cooke Hub, on the University's Heslington East campus, on Wednesday, 7 March at 6.45pm. Admission is by free ticket only, available from www.york.ac.uk/tickets, email email@example.com or telephone 01904 324466.

Um, unmount the disk before you eject it. That message is there for a reason, it is telling you that you removed the disk improperly and could damage your data.
Does anyone know how to disable the Device Removal message (The device you removed was not properly put away...) that pops up when a disk is removed without ejecting?

When you remove the disk properly, the OS makes some final writes to the disk in order to make sure the data is on there safely. When you disconnect the disk without removing it properly (aka, removing the disk before it's properly "unmounted"), those final writes are not performed and can cause the data to be corrupted. This is true in all operating systems from what I've seen.
When I've been approached by people that ask me to recover data from their USB flash drives because it's all of a sudden "stopped working", I always ask if they "remove the disk properly" before unplugging it from the computer. 99.99% of the time, the answer is "no". The other .01% usually has no idea what I'm talking about. Trust me, if you want to extend the life of your USB flash drive, don't disconnect it without unmounting it properly first.

Certainly not an elegant answer but, you can disable UserNotificationCenter.app found in /system/library/coreservices replace it with another app or file with the like name. This will glitch out Leopard, from displaying disk full messages.

Either way - the message is 'disabled' if you eject your disk or drive properly before removing it.
Would you disable your smoke alarm in your house? That 'message' is pretty annoying, too!
Serendipity is a lucky guess !
Call me lazy. Call me crazy. But I like to just pull the usbflash drive or simply power-off the ejectable media without having to confirm first via clicking an icon or dragging to trash, or selecting a menu-item. Screw it! Aren't we supposed to tell the computer what to do, not the other way around? Anyhoo..I just tested my super hacky-ugly method again using 10.5.2 and all seems good. I'm getting a woody now because I have now disabled the stupid "this is a downloaded app do you want to open" BS and the nagging, safe-remove disk device message. Now if Unsanity would hurry up and enable clear dock again!
P.S. Yes actually I have disabled all but one centralized fire-alarm in my house. Call me a minimalist. Arrest me. Burn Me.

Ringling Bros. Circus Decision
After years of legal wrangling, a decision has been rendered in the Ringling Bros. Circus case. Unfortunately, Judge Emmet Sullivan dismissed the case on the grounds that the plaintiffs lacked legal "standing" to pursue their claims. Because he dismissed the case for a lack of jurisdiction, the Judge did not address any of the extensive evidence in the case which showed that the Asian elephants are kept on chains for hours on end and are hit with bull hooks to make them perform tricks in the circus.

03/2011 (BGVN 36:03) 2009 seismic swarm, deformation, and 8 km surface rupture
03/2011 (BGVN 36:03) 2009 seismic swarm, deformation, and 8 km surface rupture
An intense seismic swarm coupled with surface deformation spurred the evacuation of over 30,000 residents, led to an 8 km long surface rupture, and was consistent with the injection of a shallow dike that never reached the surface. Between April and June 2009 more than 30,000 earthquakes occurred beneath one of the lava fields of Saudi Arabia adjacent the N-central portion of the Red Sea and centered inland ~50 km ENE from the port city of Umm Lajj (figure 1). The field is known as Harrat Lunayyir (the words harrat and haarrat indicate a volcanic field, named and unnamed, respectively). Ultimately a narrow, 8 km long surface rupture developed and the seismicity declined. The event was interpreted as due to a shallow intrusion that did not reach the surface. Table 1 at the end of this report gives an overview of the crisis, which included evacuations.
|Figure 1. Index map (at upper right focused on the Red Sea) and the main map showing numerous named volcanic fields (harrats) in Saudi Arabia, including Lunayyir. The cities of Umm Lajj and Al Ays are discussed in text. Original map taken from SGS (2011).
This report is based on Pallister and others (2010) as well as a report from scientists from the USGS-USAID Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP) and the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS). The government of Saudi Arabia evacuated more than 30,000 people from the town of Al Ays on the SE margin of the volcanic field, due to fears that further larger earthquakes could occur or that there could be a volcanic eruption (figures 2 and 3). In response to this situation, SGS increased their presence in the region and installed a permanent telemetered seismic network of seven broadband seismometers in the area to better monitor the seismicity.
|Figure 2. The town of Al Ays is shown. About 30,000 people were evacuated from the area due to the earthquake swarm. Previous lava flows of the Harrat Lunayyir volcanic field cover much of the back and central portions of the photo beyond the town. Photograph courtesy of John Pallister (VDAP).
A punctuated earthquake swarm began at Harrat Lunayyir in April 2009, with a peak on 19 May when 19 earthquakes of M 4 or greater occurred. The largest of those earthquakes was variably assessed as M 5.4 (SGS) and M 5.7 (USGS National Earthquake Information Center). It struck at 1735 UTC (2035 local time). The earthquake caused minor damage to structures in the town of Al Ays (40 km SE of the epicenter).
Surface rupture. In the northern central part of the lava field the initial surface rupture extended 3 km, trended NW, and appeared during the week preceding 19 May (when maximum earthquake magnitudes exceeded M 4). Associated with the M 5.4 earthquake on 19 May, the rupture lengthened to 8 km. The rupture had local vertical offsets of more than 1 meter and was several meters deep (figures 4 and 5). Event rates decreased dramatically on 20 May and maintained a relatively constant level, except for a few increases in event rate lasting 24 hours.

Combining seismic with InSAR and modeling. Results from InSAR data and geodetic modeling were consistent with the timing of the seismic swarm. InSAR data showed that 75% of the deformation occurred during 8-27 May 2009, and 20% occurred during 27 May to 17 June (figure 6). Interferograms from May and June showed a broad area of deformation of about 2,000 km2, which is indicative of dyke intrusion. Envisat interferograms showed about 40 cm of uplift and over 1 m of E-W extension.

For Lunayyir, plots of real-time seismic amplitude (RSAM) for 10-min intervals showing peak seismic energy releases for the vertical component of broadband seismic stations UMGS and LNYS (45 km WSE and 29 km SE from the epicenter of the M 5.4 earthquake on 19 May). The lower graph shows daily counts of very long frequency earthquakes recorded at both stations. InSAR-detected deformation periods are indicated by shading (yellow on colored versions) Taken from Pallister and others (2010).
Earthquakes suggestive of volcanism. Initially, scientists were unsure if the earthquakes were tectonic or volcanic in origin. On 12 June two members of a VDAP team deployed to Saudia Arabia at the request of the SGS to provide technical assistance. The VDAP and SGS teams determined that the earthquake pattern was that of a volcanic earthquake swarm. It was characterized by several ten's of thousands of small (under M 3) earthquakes during 24 April-31 July 2009, in a pattern of seismicity that waxed and waned. Earthquakes occurred of both varying magnitude and lacking tectonic mainshock-aftershock sequences. RSAM (real-time seismic-amplitude measurement) data showed that energy increased dramatically on 29 April, peaking on 19 May with the previously mentioned largest (M 5.4) event.
Other common volcanic-swarm characteristics included a high rate of occurrence of small compared to large events, and shallow event locations clustered beneath the lava field at around 5-10 km in depth. The event types included those of high-frequency (13-28 Hz), very low-frequency (less than 1 Hz), and high-frequency tremor. The latter contained embedded spasmodic bursts of high-frequency earthquakes (13-28 Hz).
An unusual aspect of the swarm was that both low- and very low-frequency earthquakes occurred, events that are usually associated with movements of fluids (magma, water or gas) and Strombolian explosions, but in this case both gas emissions and explosions were absent.
The VDAP and SGS teams concluded that there were three key lines of evidence that the earthquakes were volcanic. First, the earthquakes were occurring in a volcanically active area. Second, deformation was measured and interpreted to indicate a shallow dyke intrusion. Third, the types of earthquakes that occurred were characteristic of volcano-related seismicity.
The volcanic risk was relatively low due to the small population living near Harrat Lunayyir. On 19 June the team made a forecast that there was a moderate probability of a basaltic eruption and a low probability of additional large earthquakes of M 5 or greater occurring within the following 2 months. The forecast was based on the maximum magnitudes of earthquakes that typically accompany eruptions at other volcanoes, on the proportion of eruptions following multiple intrusions at dozens of volcanoes studied by VDAP, and on initial models of the InSAR anomaly. The team determined that the seismic swarm had ended by August 2009 when there was a decline in seismic activity and InSAR-detected deformation. After the forecast and after the buildings in Al Ays had been assessed for damage, evacuees were permitted to return to their homes.

Harrat Lunayyir is a basaltic volcanic field in NW Saudi Arabia, east of the Red Sea port of Umm Lajj. It contains about 50 volcanic cones that were constructed over Precambrian crystalline rocks along a N-S axis. Harrat Lunayyir is one of the smallest of the Holocene lava fields of Saudi Arabia, but individual flow lobes radiate long distances from the center of the Harrat, and flows reached the Red Sea in two places. Lava flows are basaltic to basanitic in composition, and the Holocene flows are alkali olivine basalts. One of the cones may have erupted around the 10th century CE or earlier. A seismic swarm in May 2009 was interpreted to be consistent with intrusion of an 8-km-long dike to shallow crustal levels.
