This is very interesting in light of what others have been saying in the past few years about the New Madrid Fault going off in a big bad way. (E)
February 8, 2011
This December marks the bicentennial of the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-12, which are the biggest earthquakes known to have occurred in the central U.S.
Now, based on the earthquake record in China, a University of Missouri researcher says that mid-continent earthquakes tend to move among fault systems, so the next big earthquake in the central U.S. may actually occur someplace else other than along the New Madrid faults.
Mian Liu, professor of geological sciences in the College of Arts and Science at MU, examined records from China, where earthquakes have been recorded and described for the past 2,000 years. Surprisingly, he found that during this time period big earthquakes have never occurred twice in the same place.
"In North China, where large earthquakes occur relatively frequently, not a single one repeated on the same fault segment in the past two thousand years," Liu said. "So we need to look at the 'big picture' of interacting faults, rather than focusing only on the faults where large earthquakes occurred in the recent past."
Mid-continent earthquakes, such as the ones that occurred along the New Madrid faults, occur on a complicated system of interacting faults spread throughout a large region. A large earthquake on one fault can increase the stress on other faults, making some of them more likely to have a major earthquake. The major faults may stay dormant for thousands of years and then wake up to have a short period of activity.
Along with co-authors Seth Stein, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at Northwestern University, and Hui Wang, a Chinese Earthquake Administration researcher, Liu believes this discovery will provide valuable information about the patterns of earthquakes in the central and eastern United States, northwestern Europe, and Australia. The results have been published in the journal Lithosphere.
"The New Madrid faults in the central U.S., for example, had three to four large events during 1811-12, and perhaps a few more in the past thousand years. This led scientists to believe that more were on the way," Stein said. "However, high-precision Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in the past two decades have found no significant strain in the New Madrid area. The China results imply that the major earthquakes at New Madrid may be ending, as the pressure will eventually shift to another fault."
While this study shows that mid-continent earthquakes seem to be more random than previously thought, the researchers believe it actually helps them better understand these seismic events.
"The rates of earthquake energy released on the major fault zones in North China are complementary," Wang said. "Increasing seismic energy release on one fault zone was accompanied by decreasing energy on the others. This means that the fault zones are coupled mechanically."
Studying fault coupling with GPS measurements, earthquake history, and computer simulation will allow the scientists to better understand the mysterious mid-continent earthquakes.
"What we've discovered about mid-continent earthquakes won't make forecasting them any easier, but it should help," Liu said.

So after a long day of shopping and a viewing of 'Oz the Great and Powerful' I was ready for a quick and easy supper! Luckily, I had planned for just the thing. Earlier this week, I got a box of produce from Washington's Green Grocer (http://www.washingtonsgreengrocer.com/) – my favorite local produce provider (and they have lots of other goodies like meats, cheeses, etc too!). In this box, I also got a block of extra firm tofu from Twins Oaks Community (an egalitarian community in rural Virginia – learn about them here: http://www.twinoaks.org/). I also had leftover rice in the fridge, so I had planned ahead to use up both items in some delicious "fried" rice.
First, I cut the tofu into blocks and marinated it in equal parts worcestershire sauce and soy sauce (low sodium of course) with a few cloves of grated garlic, some onion powder, cracked black pepper, and grated ginger. I did this the day before, so it would have time to soak up some real flavor (as tofu doesn't have much of it's own). When I got home yesterday, I drained the tofu and threw it into a hot saute pan with a few tablespoons of olive oil to get a crust on the tofu. Then, I threw in the leftover rice and a few more tablespoons of olive oil and soy sauce and sauteed it all together until it got crispy. Finally, I threw in a few handfuls of organic frozen vegtables (peas and carrots) from my favorite – Alexia foods.
I made a well in the center of the pan, added in a few eggs and scrambled them before mixing them in with the rest of the ingredients in the pan.
What resulted was a HUGE pan of fried rice that I'll be eating all week – and it was delicious!

Yoga Shows Potential to Ward Off Certain Diseases
Practicing yoga may do more than calm the mind — it may help protect against certain diseases, a new study suggests. In the study, women who had practiced yoga regularly for at least two years were found to have lower levels of inflammation in their bodies than did women who only recently took up the activity. Inflammation is an immune response and can be beneficial when your body is fighting off infection, but chronically high levels of inflammation are known to play a role in certain conditions, including asthma, cardiovascular disease and depression.Read more »

What Is Diabetes Insipidus?
Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a disorder in which there is an abnormal increase in urine output, fluid intake and often thirst. It causes symptoms such as urinary frequency, nocturia (frequent awakening at night to urinate) or enuresis (involuntary urination during sleep or "bedwetting"). Urine output is increased because it is not concentrated normally. Consequently, instead of being a yellow color, the urine is pale, colorless or watery in appearance and the measured concentration (osmolality or specific gravity) is low.Read more »

A useful car park!
It's been "a while" since Danni made an appearance in his own blog - a combination of forgetting the camera if we do hack to a menage and a busy B&B have left him with out his picture taken lately. We've worked in hand a little bit this week - just crossing the back legs over or in Danni's case wriggling for all he is worth as he struggles with five left feet! and today Charles got he camera out to record said back leg stretches all conducted in our car park in front of the stables

Brought together by corrupt New Gotham mayor the Big Question (Edward Nigma Fisk), Lethal and his fellow assassins, Deadeye (Bill Lawton) and Wired (Nathan Chase), discovered that they had defeats at the hands of the same women (Dare and Catsai) in common. Together, Lethal, Deadeye, and Wired figured they could teach their mutual enemies a lesson in respect. Working for the Big Question made them think that the road to riches was all puzzled out.
Lethal attacked Dare (Slade Murdock) and Catsai (Elektra Kyle) in an elevator shaft within Arkham Tower as the two assassins were on a mission to kill the Big Question. Dare avoided Lethal's initial attack by using her internal "radar" sense to track and catch his throwing blades in midair. Catsai's pet cats then tripped Lethal, but he soon recovered and began to fire bullets at Catsai. But Catsai gracefully dodged the firestorm and used her blade-tipped whip to ensnare Lethal while Dare delivered the deathstroke with her sword. The female assassins left Lethal for dead.

Why Does The Sewer Flood My Basement When It Rains?
If your basement takes on water when it rains, there may be several contributing factors to blame. Often times, homes that have improper grading are more prone to flooding. Lots should be built up so that the house is on the highest point of the lot, but improper grading or changes in grading over time can cause water to run towards the house – making it more likely to seep in through cracks in the foundation or overflow a sump pump. There can also be drainage issues with the weeping tile around a home that allows water in. More often though, the pipes, sewer system or sump pump are to blame for a flooded basement after heavy rains.
Blocked Pipes
Blocked or obstructed pipes cause flow restriction, which can allow water to back up into your home. Bringing in an emergency plumber to diagnose the issue is the best route to take if you suspect that your pipes may be clogged or leaking. Emergency plumbers have tools that can help them access pipes that are hidden or buried effectively and know what they are looking for when they investigate a flooding situation. They can also determine if any pipes are cracked, broken or leaking.
Sump Pump
A sump pump failure can allow water to enter your basement and accumulate that should have been pumped out upon entry. Check your sump pump regularly to ensure that it is working properly. If it regularly seems to be full of water, you may have a problem. Getting your sump pump fixed before there is an issue can save you a lot of money in the long run because you can avoid the need for a basement flood restoration.
Sewer backups can cause not only a flooded basement, but also sewage to be forced into a home through pipes, creating a serious health hazard for your family. If black water enters your home, you should call a local emergency plumber for help immediately before coming into contact with any of the contaminated water.

'Dark Knight' rises to earn US$160m
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Dark Knight Rises was on track to earn US$160 million, which would be a record for 2-D films, over the weekend following a mass shooting at a Colorado screening of the Batman film.
Citing box office insiders, The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and other media outlets reported Sunday that the latest Batman sequel earned US$160 to US$162 million.
That amount would best the US$158.4 million debut of The Dark Knight in 2008 and give Dark Knight Rises the third-highest domestic weekend opening ever after the 3-D films The Avengers with US$207.4 million and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 with US$169.2 million.
Tickets for 3-D films cost a few more dollars than 2-D screenings, netting extra cash at the box office. Movies released in 3-D typically earn under half of their income in 3-D screenings, sometimes as little as a third.
Sony, Fox, Disney, Paramount, Universal and Lionsgate joined Dark Knight Rises distributor Warner Bros in publicly withholding their usual revenue reports out of respect for the victims and their families.

Hi Everyone,
I hope this new post finds you pain free and happy.
Well Tris and I went to St Helier Hospital today to have our new gene test. I know I have posted before and said that we had our 'last gene test' but sadly it wasn't the case. My genetic cousellor in New Zealand retired last year and Dr Juliet Taylor, who took over his clinic, said that new research is happening all the time with EDS and that there are new genetic conditions being discovered. She emailed me after we arrived in London and suggested that we should have another genetic test to be absolutely sure that we only have Classical EDS and nothing else.
So we arrived at the clinic today and meet a lovely doctor called Dr Katrina Tatton Brown. She welcomed us and began to talk and straight away I interrupted her (which I apologised for). I said that under no circumstance was she to tell us what we were being tested for. I did not want to know and I did not want to go home and google it until my eyes bled. She was amazing about it and totally understood.
am so pleased I didn't ask what the 'THING' was and she was very cool
about not saying. Our results will come back in 6 - 8 months due to the fact that they
need to search for 3 separate genes in our DNA. I told her that we had to
know definitely what we have this time, not what we don't have and she
said she these test will find out.
So there you go and I am determined not to
be a slave to 'worry' for the next 6 - 8 months either. Last time that I waited for our results was a nightmare
for me. This time around, by not allowing her to tell me the name of the
genetic condition, I felt like I had the POWER, in an environment where I
have always felt powerless.
With the help of Louise Hay, I am putting it out to the universe that my son and I only have Classical EDS and that we are healthy and happy and having amazing lives living in London.
Fingers crossed can't hurt either!!!!!
Love Rowena XXXXXXXX

We have, however, taken family trips to this place for more than twenty years.
Welcome to Rams Horn Village, nestled near the town of Estes Park and at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park, one of my family's favorite places to be. My grandma found Rams Horn many years ago, and we've stayed there nearly every summer for practically forever. It's tradition now. We go hiking in the park (we have several favorite trails), we walk the town and do a little light shopping, we eat good food, we go to the pool if the weather is cooperative, and we rest. It's awesome, and one of the things we most look forward to each summer. Some of our favorite memories come from our trips here, especially those with my grandparents.
A couple of weeks ago was Will's first trip to Estes Park to stay at Rams Horn. He, his Nonna (my mom), Grandad (my dad), Tia (my sister), and I headed up midweek, but poor Daddy (Husband) had to wait until Friday night to join us, due to his job. The weather was pretty much gorgeous, but unfortunately they are doing major roadwork in RMNP, cutting off access to most of the trails we usually hike (and the ones I felt I could do with Will strapped to my front). Still, we were able to drive around the park, watch as a wedding party took pictures at the Illuvial Fan, and hike to Alberta Falls, one of our favorite easy hikes. We even saw a huge herd of elk... a first for all of us! We have only ever seen a few at a time before.
Not only did Will go on his first hike, but he also went to his first rodeo. Estes Park is home of the Rooftop Rodeo, voted the PRCA's Best Small Rodeo. We love the rodeo, and were pretty bummed when we discovered our Estes Park trip coincided with the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, meaning we'd have to miss out. Sister and I were pretty estatic to see that the Rooftop Rodeo was going on while we were there, though, so rodeo-ing we went. On a whim I'd thrown this little outfit in the suitcase, so Will was the best-dressed in our family. It was a great little rodeo, with some of the best bucking horses I have ever seen and an incredible view - Lake Estes and the Rocky Mountains as the backdrop.
Will's other first was a couple of trips to the pool. He only spent a few minutes in the pool each time, and I'm not totally sure he liked it, but he didn't hate it, either. What he did hate was getting out - he cried and cried - but he cries getting out of the bathtub, too. He was pretty stinking cute in his little bathing outfit, though.
The rest of the time was spent hanging out, walking around town, and just being together as a family. We did absolutely no work and were able to, I think, truly get some much needed rest before things get going again. Wish we could have stayed a few more days!

Amazon SEO: Boost Sales By Ranking Higher on Amazon
- by eSellerHub
Whenever we talk about SEO, the first thing which comes into our mind is Google. But, when it comes to online shopping, Amazon becomes much more important. As a matter of fact, the search volume for products is three times more on Amazon when compared to Google. The reasons behind high search volume on Amazon is – it has around 80 million prime members all over the world, 300 million customer accounts and is experiencing growth in number of accounts by 30 to 40 percent.
So, how would you rank your products high on Amazon and grab the attention of such a huge pool of customers that shops regularly on Amazon?
Well, with the help of Amazon SEO you can make that possible and achieve desired results. Before moving on with Amazon SEO, let's have a look at Amazon Algorithm and how does it work…
The Amazon Algorithm
Amazon's search engine algorithm has a name, and it's called A9. Started in 2003 as a subsidiary of Amazon, A9 was tasked with the sole responsibility of creating a better user experience by placing the right products in front of the right customers.
Here we will discuss the 5 most important variables used by A9 while creating product rankings on Amazon. This would help you in understanding A9 in-depth and optimize your product listings:
- Recent Sales Record
Amazon Algorithm (A9) gives preference to those products which have achieved high sales record in recent times. This means if you achieve higher sales within a short period of time, your product ranks above the other products but your sales needs to be consistent to maintain the position.
- Verified Product Review
The products having maximum verified reviews and overall rating can achieve high ranking as per Amazon algorithm. A verified review is one which is left by the user using the same Amazon account used for buying that product. The review for which Amazon doesn't have the record of the person buying it is known as unverified review. For Amazon, verified and positive ratings are very much important.
- CTR v/s CTS
CTR (click through rate) is how often online shoppers have clicked your product link and CTS (click through sales) is how often shoppers have purchased your product. Amazon not only just relies on CTR but also gives preference to CTS. For example #1 product has high CTR but #2 product has high CTS, which means that buyers like #2 product and thus Amazon will give preference to #2 product and rank it higher than #1 product.
- Content on Sales Page
Similar to Google SEO, content is the king for Amazon SEO too. Every search engine needs content to verify whether the search result is exactly what the user is searching for. Amazon also verify that and thus, you need to keep a check on your product page content. It is to be ensured that the content includes right keyword density, relevant keywords in the header, proper text ratio etc. You can place relevant keywords in page title, sub title, editorial review as well as product description. Moreover, you can assign "product name" as the file name to the product image, to make it SEO friendly.
- Amazon "Special" Keywords
When you are uploading your product on Amazon, it asks for 7 special keywords. You need to assign those 7 special keywords which are having high search volume and are relevant to your products. So, when any of those keywords are searched by the shoppers, your product gets listed on the top position of the product list. Being listed through relevant keywords and right category plays an important role in boosting sales of your products.
So, now you know the basic tactics of achieving high rankings for your products on Amazon. High ranking in Amazon can not only get clicks but also help you to sell more and earn more.

Johnny was going to do a write up on the fact the NY Post's video story of Port Authority/PATH cops who were sleeping away large chunks of their shifts had now become a FEDERAL investigation. It has and we'd hope you'd go read all about how your money is being spent and how your safety is being put at risk by Port Authority cops. Then he got to the end of the article and Red Forman came to mind.
According to the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association this sleeping on the job en masse (44 cases) is no big deal because crime on PATH is down which to them (Specious reasoning alert) means the investigation is overblown, these guys are doing a great job:
A spokesman for the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association told NJ Advance Media that the agency's low crime rates at PATH stations is proof the officers were doing their jobs.
"The PAPD is doing its job to keep our patrons safe, contrary to the Port Authority's attacks," the spokesman said.
Incredible. Forget for one second it only takes one small window of success for a terrorist to get his job done. One small window where someone isn't where they are supposed to be. One time. One missed assignment. Secondly, what horseshit. Do your fucking job. Sleeping? Playing cards? Video games? Bzzzzt unacceptable. Maybe, and this may be hard for the PAPBA to understand, maybe people just respect the train. Maybe they have more things going on in their own lives than to rob and pilfer the PATH system.
Proof jobs are getting done while sleeping. Time for one last Red Forman dumbass award for 2016.

Words by Tom Meakins
After hearing news of a film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's first novel, which is scheduled for release in September 2012 and stars Emma Watson, I decided to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower again. I first read it when I was 17, and it had such a great impact on me that I instantly called it my favourite book. However, this time I thought perhaps I would be too old to admire it as much as I did before. However, by the end, I still found it an endearing read and I would still put it up there along with some older classics, including novels by Fitzgerald (Tender is the Night and The Great Gatsby), Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath) and Hemingway (For Whom the Bell Tolls).
The main highlight of the book for me is its form; as it is an epistolary novel that comprises of letters written by the protagonist, Charlie, to an anonymous person over the course of a year, in which he documents his last year in school before entering High School as a sophomore. The novel begins in the late summer of 1991, and it is one of my favourite books: firstly, because it cites Catcher in the Rye as a large influence, but even more so because it famously references particular literature, film and music, that are somewhat alternative. For example, Charlie's English teacher gives him additional books to read such as On the Road, The Stranger and Naked Lunch. In addition, Charlie learns about music from those who befriend him, including alternative rock by contemporary bands like Nirvana and a beautiful song by Smashing Pumpkins called Daydream, as well as other classics like The Smiths and Fleetwood Mac.
The main character of the novel is a shy freshman who could be described as a 'wallflower' – one that watches everyone from the side and does not participate like others do. The themes include adolescence, introversion, recreational drugs and first-time use, homosexuality, sex and relationships.
Another feature of the novel, which makes it memorable for me is the writing style, which conveys a clear image of a teenager, inducing memories of the awkward time of adolescence. On the other hand, I admire it because it does not aim to merely portray teenage angst, but rather the growing of a person in which they can enter the real world, experiencing life and finally finding where they belong. 'And in that moment I swear we were infinite. Love always, Charlie.' I just hope the film can emulate the devices that make this book special, onto the big screen.

Since January, Sedgwick Avenue residents in Van Cortlandt Village have had a lot to complain about.
Con Edison, the company that provides gas and electric services to New York City and Westchester County, already has spent three months refurbishing gas lines on Sedgwick and fielding complaints from neighbors about noise, lack of parking, and traffic obstructions.
Juan Garcia lives in the Amalgamated Houses, a full two blocks away from the ongoing construction work. Yet, he says he still can hear the loud banging of buses passing over metal plates that cover the open street at night.
"With those plates, when a car passes, it sounds like the devil," Garcia said in Spanish.
Community Board 8 chair Daniel Padernacht said not only did ConEd not inform the public of their plains to do work — which is now a month over schedule — but the company plans to continue working on Sedgwick for another 18 months. This time on electric lines.
"We received many complaints about loud, banging noises from the loose roadway plates left by the contractor every single day," Padernacht said. "You had loud crashing noises every time a car would go over it. It came to the point that members of the community were shell shocked."
At a meeting of CB8's traffic and transportation committee March 21, ConEd representatives explained the noise was largely the fault of the contractor hired to do the work — Safeway Construction — which they said did not follow the necessary noise-reduction protocols. Safeway did not secure metal plates covering the holes where the word was being done. As a result, when cars drove over the plates, they made loud noises that echoed into neighboring buildings.
The gas project was supposed to be complete March 6, but now isn't expected to finish until April 17, weather permitting.
The construction noise is worse during the day, Garcia said, when workers are tearing open Sedgwick with jackhammers, joining the chorus of passing cars echoing into people's homes.
"Thank God the noise is only really bad during the day," Garcia said. "But sometimes at night, when a bus passes over the plates, you can hear all through the neighborhood."
The new work taking them well into 2018 is an "Electric Feeder" project, designed to inspect existing electrical lines on the other side of Sedgwick, ensuring cooling and insulation is still intact.
"You've got an electric line, which is surrounded by a fluid pipe to keep it cool," Padernacht said. "Just a few years ago, they ripped open Sedgwick Avenue between West 238th Street and Giles Place, and did a similar project."
The electrical work, said ConEd spokesman Robert McGee, is "necessary for the reliability of the electric system," and that work would not start until the ongoing gas project was completed.
Residents attending the March 21 meeting were infuriated, Padernacht said, especially when ConEd representatives informed them the lines being refurbishing were not serving the Bronx. McGee, however, said that wasn't the case.
"The electric system is entirely interconnected," he said. "Anyone who maintains that an electric cable in the Bronx is not supplying the Bronx is not correct."
ConEd also says they won't use the same contracting company for their electrical work, and that will do more to ensure the metal plates are secured to the ground, minimizing noise issues.
Garcia doesn't mind that the work is being done — he just hopes the next project is less intrusive.
"We deal with it, what can I say," he said. "We know it's good for the city."

Out of thousands of submissions from all over the world, a Durango resident's idea for a National Geographic contest that seeks to solicit solutions to major environmental issues was selected as a finalist.
National Geographic's "Chasing Genius" contest was created to elicit transformative ideas on three major issues: making the planet more sustainable, improving global health and food security.
Contestants were asked to submit their ideas in the form of a 1-minute video, which would then be judged on innovation, creativity, viability and inspiration, the contest's website says.
One winner from each category, as well as a "People's Choice" submission, will receive $25,000 to help implement their ideas. Voting ends Friday and can be accessed by visiting http://www.natgeochasinggenius.com/.
In the "Sustainable Planet" category, Durango resident Sue Spielman's idea for a straw made out of seaweed was selected as a finalist.
Spielman, an avid scuba diver, said the idea came to her while she was thinking of ways to reduce the amount of plastic that enters the ocean.
According to Plastic Oceans, more than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into the ocean every year. The group also estimates that between the U.S. and United Kingdom, 550 million plastic straws are thrown away every day.
In recent years, ideas for using seaweed instead of plastic for certain items have been gaining traction, including plastic bottles, bubble wrap and saran wrap.
Spielman said that after hearing about National Geographic's contest, she woke up one morning with the idea to fashion a straw out of seaweed.
In making a prototype, Spielman took a piece of dried seaweed she had stored in her house, wet it, rolled it around a chop stick and let it dry.
She said the prototype held its shape long enough to take a few drinks, but if the seaweed straw soaks for too long, it gets soft. That's one of the challenges she'll have to work out should she win the contest, she said.
"Of course, there's a little more work to figure out," she said. "But one of the big reasons why this idea is important for the environment is that it comes from a sustainable source. And if it gets back into the ocean, it becomes part of the ecosystem it came from."
With a few days left of voting, Spielman's "SeaStraw" idea has received a little more than 200 votes, far behind the top-voted idea that also uses seaweed to make thread for clothing, which has nearly 1,200 votes.
"I'm just happy if the idea gets out there," Spielman said. "That's the most important thing to me. We're just making a mess of the environment with all the plastics that we use."

The God War
One Piece: Season Three, Third Voyage
Things get serious as the game is officially on! The God Eneru has decided to take four, and only four, with him on a journey to Fairy Vearth and has issued the order of trial by combat to decided the winner. Three teams face off against each other. Team God featuring the Priests of Eneru. Team Shandia lead by Wyper, and finally Team Straw Hat with the crew of the Going Merry. Battle Royale.
The "Season Three: Third Voyage" box set (actually Season Six by the Japanese counting) features episodes 170-182 uncut and unedited on two DVDs. Don't expect the end to the Skypiea saga just yet, but things do get good here.
I loved every episode in this box set. It was great to see the Straw Hats going after some folks who are serious competition. They have gotten off easy for far too long, and now they are separated, isolated, and just possibly out of their league.
Every episode has a show-down match: Episode 170 has Pirate Zoro vs. Warrior Braham. Episode 171 has Pirate Luffy vs. Warrior Wyper. Episode 172 has Chopper vs Priest Gedatsu. You get the picture. The competitors are slowly whittled away as the God Eneru draws close to his endgame. Some of the battles are heart-breaking, like seeing little Chopper having to face off alone against the Ordeal of Iron with a 0% survival rate. This was the first time in the series that I thought I was seriously going to see the death of a main character.
Not that it is all dark and heavy. It wouldn't be "One Piece" without some comedy thrown in, and there is a great bit with a giant snake and Monkey D. Luffy doing what he does best, to the detriment of all.
The final showdown of this box set is what we have all been waiting for, and it is a doozy. Episode 180 is Pirate Luffy vs God Eneru! You know you don't want to miss that!
