Gstaad Grand Slam | 8 - 13 July 2014
Gstaad, Switzerland, July 12, 2014 - As a prelude to the next edition of the "Talkin' Stats" weekly update, here are facts and figures from this week's women's competition at the US$800,000 Gstaad Grand Slam where the quarter- and semi-final matches were played here Saturday to set the schedule for Sunday's medal matches.
• FIRST TIME - With German pairs winning both semi-final matches Saturday, Sunday's final will mark the first-time since the start of the women's FIVB World Tour in 1992 that two teams from the European country will compete for a gold medal. Katrin Holtwick and Ilka Semmler won the only FIVB World Tour match between the two teams with a 2-1 (21-11, 21-23 and 15-12) win over Karla Borger and Britta Buthe in 43 minutes at a 2011 event in Stare Jablonki, Poland (July 27).
• NO. 9 - The 15th annual Gstaad Grand Slam is the ninth event on the 2014 FIVB World Tour where the Swiss Alps village is hosting the season's fifth Grand Slam event. In addition to the $57,000 first-place purse, the winning women's team will earn 800 points while the silver medal pair will share $43,000 and 720 points. The bronze medal match winner will split $32,000 and 640 points while the fourth-place finishers will share $24,000 and 560 points.

• BY COUNTRY - The three countries in the Gstaad Grand Slam "final four" have won gold medals this season on the FIVB World Tour - Czech Republic (Prague and Berlin), Germany (Shanghai and Anapa) and Brazil (Puerto Vallarta). The other three gold medals were claimed by April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings (Fuzhou, Moscow and Stavanger). The Americans placed ninth in Gstaad this week.
• GSTAAD MEDALS - Since the start of the FIVB World Tour event in the Swiss Alps in 2000, Germany guaranteed its first gold medal in Gstaad after posting its previous best finish in 2010 with a silver medal finish by Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig. Brazilian women teams have now combined for 25 "final fours" appearances. The South Americans have amassed 18 podium placements entering Sunday's play with seven gold medal finishes (2000, 2001, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011) along with six silvers and five bronze medals.
GOLD MEDAL MATCH - Germany vs. Germany
• BB SHOTS - After placing 25th two weeks ago at the Stavanger Grand Slam where they won only one of three matches, eighth-seeded Karla Borger and Britta Buthe of Germany rebounded to advance to their second FIVB World Tour "final four" this season by posting wins Saturday over pairs from Brazil and the Czech Republic. The Germans have won six-straight matches this week with other victories over pairs from Poland, Germany, Switzerland (twice) and Brazil. The German's best previous placements in Gstaad were ninths. Borger and Buthe, who captured the bronze medal at the Berlin Grand Slam last month, are now 24-7 in matches this season. The BBs started the season by posting three-straight FIVB fifth-place finishes in Shanghai, Prague and Moscow before reaching the podium in Berlin. Borger and Buthe finished fifth at the European Championships last month in Cagliari.
• KAT-LER REPORT - Fourteenth-seeded Katrin Holtwick and Ilka Semmler of Germany became the second team from the European country to advance to the 2014 Gstaad Grand Slam finale after posting wins over pairs from China and Brazil. With a spot in the gold medal match, Holtwick and Semmler have now posted their best-ever finish in Gstaad with their previous bests being sevenths. Holtwick and Semmler, who have a 15-13 match mark this season, will be playing in their second FIVB World Tour "final four" this season after placing second to Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova in May's Prague Open. The Germans have now reached a FIVB World Tour "final four" for the 14th time as the pair has now claimed 11 podium placements medals with a 2012 gold medal finish in Åland, Finland. Holtwick and Semmler finished ninth at the European Championships last month in Cagliari.
BRONZE MEDAL MATCH - Czech Republic vs. Brazil
• CZECH FIRST - With a 2-1 (19-21, 21-19 and 15-9) win over 23rd-seeded Heather Bansley and Sarah Pavan of Canada in 54 minutes, third-seeded Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova became the first-ever Czech Republic men's or women's team to advance to the "final four" matches in Gstaad. Despite having their 11-match winning streak snapped by Karla Borger and Britta Buthe of Germany in the Gstaad semi-finals, Kolocova and Slukova improved their season match mark to 23-6. The Czech's best previous finishes in Gstaad were ninths. With the Gstaad Grand Slam being Kolocova and Slukova's fifth event this season, Czech Republic women have won two events (Prague and Berlin) and placed ninth twice (Shanghai and Moscow). The two gold medal finishes were the first-ever FIVB World Tour event titles by either a men's or women's team from the Czech Republic. Kolocova and Slukova placed fifth last month at the European Championships in Cagliari, Italy.
• QUALIFYING AGAIN - For the fourth-time this season in eight FIVB World Tour starts together, sixth-seeded Juliana Felisberta and Maria Antonelli advanced to "final four" after defeating ninth-seeded Nadine Zumkehr and Joana Heidrich of Switzerland 2-1 (11-21, 21-16 and 15-8) in 48 minutes. The win over the Swiss marked Juliana and Antonelli's fourth-straight three-set match in the 2014 Gstaad Grand Slam. Unlike this week's other "final four" participating teams, Juliana and Antonelli had to qualify for the "money" rounds by defeating a team from Japan Tuesday in three sets. The Brazilians have a 43-12 match mark this season with three silver medal finishes in China (Fuzhou), Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) and Germany (Berlin). Juliana is playing in her ninth event in Gstaad where she has compiled six medals, including podium-topping efforts in 2005, 2010 and 2011 with Larissa Franca. Antonelli and Talita Rocha won the 2009 Gstaad event where they defeated Juliana and Larissa for the gold medal. For their FIVB World Tour careers, Juliana has won 45 gold medals and Antonelli has posted nine firsts. Juliana was a bronze medalist in Beach Volleyball with Larissa at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

BC Place opened in grand style last Sunday with a Cascadia Cup matchup between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers. And on the big stage, big man Kenny Cooper came up huge.
Cooper's curled blast past diving 'Caps 'keeper Joe Cannon — voted AT&T Goal of the Week for Week for Week 29 — proved the game-winner as the Timbers took a 1-0 victory on their rivals' turf.
The tall Texan's goal earned 32 percent of the vote, beating out Eddie Gaven's diving header against D.C. United (25 percent) and Thierry Henry's spinning strike against Toronto FC (23 percent).

iPhone 5 Release Brings Out All the Intellects
In case you've been living on a line to buy an iPhone 5, the new…wait, that wouldn't make sense. The iPhone 5 is out. It's sure to make the lives of everyone who purchase it at least 16.3% easier. The larger screen is gonna assist someone in finding the cure for cancer. Bank on it.
Anyway, the people standing on line for hours for the new iPhone 5 release probably work with a logic that's a slight upgrade from analog. That's a nice way of saying waiting outside to buy a phone is lunacy. Yeah, we get it, the "camaraderie" but how about you and your dork friends just all hit ORDER on the website together and talk about it over a milkshake at Johnny Rockets? Stop crowding up our streets.
The woman being interviewed by Sideshow Mel in this vid is a perfect example of the "herd mentality." Sitting in line just because everyone else is doing it. Also, she's dumb as an ox. Kidding. A herd of ox. Oxen.
Although, she might have just come up with the next great Apple slogan.
Apple — I like it because it's got an apple on it.


text: I don't know how to say this without sounding condescending, but we resolved this problem by purchasing high quality machines. We currently use IBM x330s (although I also had good luck with our SGI 1100's before SGI discontinued them). We have enough nodes on hand, that IBM has stocked a couple of spare motherboards, power supplies, etc., but we don't need them that often. I've never had a fan failure. In general, hardware problems are a very minor part of the care and feeding of our cluster.

Originally appeared in InsideCounsel on July 30, 2014.
The US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division is prosecuting criminal antitrust violations with unprecedented vigor and success. Nine months into its current fiscal year, it has imposed over $1 billion in criminal fines and has already surpassed all historic full-year totals except FY 2012. In light of this, many companies have moved to reevaluate and fortify their antitrust compliance programs.
The Antitrust Division's high level of activity is largely due to its wide-ranging investigation into the international auto parts industry. It is the largest criminal investigation that the Antitrust Division has ever pursued. Since the first auto parts plea agreements were announced in 2011, 27 companies have agreed to plead guilty and pay over $2.3 billion in criminal fines. Thirty-six executives have been charged with criminal violations, 25 of whom have pled guilty; 22 have been sentenced to serve time in US prisons.
These remarkable results are a testament to the effectiveness of the Antitrust Division's amnesty program, which offers first-in-the-door whistleblowers immunity from criminal prosecution and de-trebling of civil damages. The auto parts investigation apparently began with an amnesty application for wire harnesses. Some of the companies under investigation quickly discovered that they had also participated in cartels in other automotive parts, and sought amnesty. Plea agreements indicate that the auto parts investigation has expanded to include, among other things, starter motors, alternators, air flow meters, valve timing control devices, fuel injection systems, ignition coils, windshield washer and wiper systems, power window motors, radiators, air conditioning systems, seat belts, air bags, bearings, electric powered steering assemblies, and anti-vibration rubber products—nearly 40 products in all.
The Antitrust Division has made a point of pursuing charges for obstruction of justice when cartelists destroy documents and tell others to do so. In the auto parts investigation, it has charged two individuals and two companies with obstruction. In February, Kazuaki Fujitani, a former director of Denso Corporation, pled guilty to an obstruction count for destroying documents. In May, prosecutors indicted Hitoshi Hirano, a former Tokai Rika Co. Ltd. executive, for obstruction and price fixing. The indictment alleges that he destroyed paper and electronic documents after learning that the FBI had executed a search warrant, and persuaded other employees to do the same. Tokai Rika and Mitsuba Corporation each pled guilty to single obstruction counts in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Two other auto parts manufacturers, Hitachi Automotive Systems Ltd. and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, have entered into plea agreements that describe how they destroyed evidence, although neither was charged with obstruction. In publically announcing obstruction charges, the Antitrust Division has stated that it will "vigorously prosecute individuals who destroy evidence in an attempt to conceal their participation in illegal conspiracies." Such statements indicate that the Antitrust Division will continue to charge obstruction of justice where warranted as a matter of policy.
"The Antitrust Division's expanding criminal enforcement program set a precedent this year… successfully extraditing foreign nationals on antitrust charges for the first time."
The Antitrust Division's expanding criminal enforcement program also set a precedent this year with regard to extradition of foreign nationals. Until recently, the Antitrust Division had never successfully extradited a foreign national on antitrust charges, despite having prosecuted numerous large international cartels over the last two decades. However, in April, Romano Pisciotti, an Italian citizen, was extradited from Germany to face criminal antitrust charges. He pled guilty to fixing prices, rigging bids and allocating sales of marine hose, and was sentenced to two years in prison. Based on this precedent, the Antitrust Division may seek to extradite more foreign nationals who it has indicted for cartel conduct.
The Antitrust Division is prosecuting domestic conspiracies with the same tenacity with which it has pursued international cartels. Last month the Antitrust Division obtained guilty pleas from three related US companies, Riverside Seat Company, Woodbridge Foam Fabricating, Inc., and SW Foam LLC, for fixing prices of polyurethane foam. It has also obtained convictions of two individuals and guilty pleas from 58 individuals and two companies in its ongoing investigations of bid rigging in local real estate foreclosure auctions in California, Georgia and Alabama. Its investigation of bid rigging in tax lien auctions has yielded 15 guilty pleas and six indictments. The latest major investigation publically acknowledged by the Antitrust Division is an investigation of possible anticompetitive conduct by capacitor manufacturers. Capacitors are found in virtually every kind of electronic device, and manufacturers in the US and abroad produce huge numbers of them every year. Although in an early stage, this investigation already appears to have the potential to involve a large number of companies in multiple countries. It could also lead to investigations of other electronic components or products.
Because the Antitrust Division is aggressively enforcing the antitrust laws, firms should re- evaluate their interactions with competitors and strengthen their antitrust training and compliance programs. Care must be taken that legitimate competitor collaborations, such as joint ventures or trade association activities, do not give rise to pricing or bidding discussions. It is hard to overstate the benefits of such precautions. One of the largest cartels ever prosecuted— the air cargo cartel—was discovered as a result of an effective compliance and training program. Lufthansa discovered the cartel, reported it to antitrust authorities around the world, and received complete amnesty from criminal prosecution. Given the choice, it is far better to be the amnesty applicant than the unfortunate recipient of a subpoena or search warrant.

We also may determine what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.
IP Addresses : An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. It is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company or your university, though it may also provide information concerning your general geographical location. When visitors request pages from our Websites, our servers log the visitor's IP address. We may collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the number of visits to different pages on our Website.
Device ID : A device ID is a unique number permanently associated with your mobile or other device, such as an iPhone or Android mobile phone. If you visit one of our Websites using a mobile device, we may take note of your device ID and use your device ID to identify you or recognize you if you return, for certain internal purposes such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the number of visits to different pages on our Websites.
Cookies: Cookies are information files that our Websites may place on your computer to provide extended functionality. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns on the Websites or websites of our trusted third party partners, measuring the effectiveness of advertising, controlling the display of ads, serving ads that we think you will like, limiting multiple responses and recording registrations. Advertisers or other third parties that are serving content on some of our pages may set and access their own cookies on your computer. We do not have control over cookies placed by third parties.

You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our Websites will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
Web Beacons : While you are on our Websites or otherwise viewing our content, such as in a newsletter or e-mail, or are on the website of one of our trusted third party marketing partners, you may encounter Web beacons which may come from Guideposts or from third parties, such as advertisers or content providers. A Web beacon, which is sometimes also called a Web bug or "clear gif," is a small graphic image in a Web page, a Web-based document or an e-mail message, which generally allows the party that set the Web beacon to monitor certain information about the viewer of the Web page, Web-based document or e-mail message, and may allow access to certain cookies. Web beacons are usually invisible to the user, because they are very small (generally 1-by-1 pixel). However, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a Web page, including an advertisement, can act as a Web beacon. Web beacons typically collect the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from, the type of browser requesting the Web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to and the time the Web beacon was viewed. Ibelieveihope does not have control over Web beacons used by third parties and does not have access to whatever information they may collect. Ibelieveihope may use Web beacons to count visitors to our Web pages and we may include Web beacons in HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters in order to count how many of our electronic newsletters (or particular articles, links, etc.) were actually opened. We may also use Web beacons on our Websites or the websites of our trusted marketing partners to allow us to show you offers that we think you will like and to avoid showing you offers that you have already seen, in order to improve your overall experience.
We and our trusted third party marketing partners may share with one another anonymous versions of user information (i.e., aggregate data or data which does not identify a particular individual). We may use that information to link to and issue anonymous cookies containing demographic or intent-based data for online behavioral advertising purposes. Such cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.

We use the PII you provide about yourself to show you advertisements that we think you will like, deliver the information or content you have requested, to contact you about our programs, products, features or services or for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection. For instance, we may send an e-mail newsletter to you or send information about new services to you. If, at any point, you do not wish to receive information about our programs, products, features or services, you can remove yourself from the mailing list for newsletters and promotional materials by sending an e-mail message to email@example.com or by calling us at the following address: +256-708-980-4210 -UG. If you do not opt-out, Ibelieveihope may share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Please bear in mind that this opt-out choice for "third parties" will not apply to Guideposts licensees and co-branding participants, as set forth below. Please also keep in mind that any opt-out choices you make will not apply in situations where (a) you either have made, simultaneously make, or later make a specific request for information from us, or (b) Guideposts uses your personal information for either operational purposes (e.g., to complete transactions requested by you, such as your purchase of a product or service, or to send you administrative communications either about your account with us or about features of our Websites, including any future changes to this Privacy Policy) or fulfillment purposes (e.g., sharing with companies that facilitate communications and transactions with you).
Finally, it may take up to forty-five (45) days for your opt-out choices to be fully effective. Our systems require time to update, and promotional mailings using personal information shared before your opt-out may already be in process. Thus, your personal information might continue to be shared with third parties for promotional purposes for up to forty-five (45) days after you make your request. For similar reasons, if your personal information is shared with a third party, Ibelieveihope generally loses control over how that information is used. Thus, even after you have opted-out of allowing us to share your personal information, you might continue to receive promotional materials from third parties unless and until you duly register your opt-out request with each third party in question.
Under California's "Shine the Light" law, California residents are entitled once a year to request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of personal information (whether collected online or offline) to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2005 will receive information about 2004 sharing activities).

Although I admire the effort, this is mostly interesting for less 'technical' users... which are better served with PC-BSD or DesktopBSD. Sysinstall has its shortcomings, but it's proven/reliable/stable.
It looks really great, but I can't help but think it could be better when they would work together with the PC-BSD/DesktopBSD guys. At least they have the same goals.
I'm sorry but speaking for DesktopBSD (and PC-BSD as well in absence of Antik, Kris Moore, Charles Landemaine or anybody else from there) I can tell you the concept of finstall is totally different from those of DesktopBSD and PC-BSD and I cannot see any benefit of mixing ideas or the like. finstall aims to be a long term replacement of the aged sysinstall as a general purpose installer including PXE etc., the idea of an installer for a DesktopBSD-FreeBSD-project is totally different, see the upcoming DesktopBSD 1,6 release or RC3 yet with a graphical Grub-menu etc. It's not only the mere size or using kdebase and Qt, it's about matching specific demands and not general purpose.
I will not go in any technical details here because this place is not appropriate imho but I think you got the message.
Best regards, Daniel

Blackhawks trample Red Wings to extend Central lead
Detroit, MI – Brandon Saad and Dave Bolland each scored twice and Corey Crawford posted 33 saves, as the Chicago Blackhawks dominated the Detroit Red Wings, 7-1, on Sunday at Joe Louis Arena.
Jonathan Toews tallied a goal and two assists, while Jeremy Morin and Nick Leddy also lit the lamp for the Blackhawks, who have won six straight over the rival Red Wings.
Chicago, which owns a comfortable 16-point lead over Detroit atop the Central Division, has won two of its last three overall.
Cory Emmerton netted the lone Detroit goal, while Jimmy Howard allowed four goals on 14 shots before being removed early in the second period. Jonas Gustavsson gave up three goals on 12 shots in relief for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight.
"We didn't play hockey tonight whatsoever. It's tough when you spot them a few goals right away from the start," Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "You dig a big hole for yourselves and we couldn't find a way to get back. It was embarrassing at times."
Chicago opened the game with a flurry, as the Blackhawks buried three goals in a 1:39-span to seize control less than 4 1/2 minutes in.
The first came at the 2:33 mark after Leddy's shot from the left point missed wide and bounced into the crease. Howard alertly sticked the puck away, but it deflected off a body and landed back on the stick of Morin, who pounded it home from in close for a 1-0 lead.
Chicago doubled its edge just 48 seconds later when Michael Frolik slid a cross-ice feed to a cutting Saad on the left side. Saad then deked Howard with a slick backhand-forehand move before lighting the lamp at 3:21.
It went from bad to worse for the Red Wings from there, as Detroit defenseman Jakub Kindl was pressured by Jimmy Hayes near his own net under a minute later. Kindl tried to backhand the puck away from danger, but it ended up in the back of his own net and Bolland, who was the last Blackhawk to touch it, was awarded his sixth goal of the season to push the lead to 3-0 at 4:12.
"It's nice to get off to a good start," Saad said. "We got a couple of bounces and got a couple of goals and it was nice to play with the lead."
The Blackhawks then blew the game open with a pair of markers just eight seconds apart early in the second, with Saad having a hand in both goals.
Saad set up Toews for a one-timer from the slot at 3:52 before Toews won the ensuing faceoff back to Niklas Hjalmarsson, who chipped the puck deep into the Detroit zone.
Saad then outskated a Detroit defenseman and recovered the puck in the low left circle before greeting Gustavsson with a quick wrister through the five- hole to make it 5-0 at the 4:00 mark.
Bolland and Leddy each added a goal in the third to push the margin to 7-0 before Emmerton ended Crawford's shutout bid with his third of the season with under a minute left in the contest.
Game Notes
Chicago improved to 9-0-1 in its last 10 at Detroit ... Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg was a late scratch and is day-to-day with a lower-body injury ... Morin was making his season debut with Chicago ... Detroit finished 0-for-2 on the power play.

WEST, TX (RNN) - President Barack Obama has issued an emergency declaration for West, TX, where a fertilizer plant explosion killed about 35 people and injured more than 160 others.
"I've pledged that the people of West will have the resources they need to rebuild," the president, speaking from the White House said Friday.
The declaration gives FEMA the authority to "identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent federal funding."
Law enforcement officials said 14 bodies have been recovered after the Texas fertilizer plant explosion on Wednesday. Officials will continue to search through the debris. Residents will not be able to return home until they are finished.
West police Chief James Lawhorn said five of the dead were West volunteer firefighters and four were EMS personnel, during a Friday press conference.
About 60 people were unaccounted for after the explosion, but McLennan County Judge Scott Felton said late Friday that most if not all of them have or will be located.
"I would be surprised if it's more than a few people (who are missing)," Felton said.
Twelve individuals were recovered from the fertilizer plant explosion Friday morning. Two more were found Friday afternoon.
"The deceased have been taken to the Dallas Forensic Lab for proper identification," Sgt. Jason Reyes said.
Reyes said the fire and blast injured 200 people and 50 homes have been destroyed.
"I just toured the site, both from the air and from the ground. And, frankly, the observation along the area around the site is just total devastation," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said.
A four block radius around the fertilizer plant is almost completely leveled.
Three fire trucks and one ambulance were also destroyed in the blast.
The bodies were found in and around the plant area. Officials will not confirm if the bodies recovered are fire fighters, emergency workers, plant workers or regular citizens.
About half the population in the town was evacuated, including a nursing home with more than 130 residents.
Search and rescue crews sifted through the still-smoldering remains for survivors throughout the day Friday.
"At this point they are in the continuation mode of search and rescue, which to me means that they are still going out and looking for survivors of the blast from Wednesday evening," Sgt. Patrick Swanton said.
Investigators said there is nothing so far to suggest anything other than an accident, but they can't rule anything out.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is working to try to determine the cause of the blast.
The ATF is scouring the site along with the state fire marshal's office.
As investigators move inward in examining debris and damage, residents gradually will be allowed to return Friday to homes along streets that have already been examined.
A dozen investigators from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board were also inspecting the site Friday.
"The explosion happened in a highly populated neighborhood, it is a volatile situation because it being a fertilizer company, it has the component ammonia nitrate which is a volatile product," McLennan County Chief Deputy Sheriff Matt Cawthon said.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Roger Williams, R-Weatherford were in West Friday afternoon to offer support to residents.
Cornyn said they viewed the tangled wreckage of one of the fire trucks destroyed in the explosion.
"In this close community, I grieve with the injured, and the family and friends who have lost loved ones," Cornyn said.
"After seeing the site first-hand, I know the road to recovery will be long, but I am encouraged by the many examples I have already seen of this town's resilience," he said.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said Thursday "it's way premature" to determine whether any criminal charges could be sought in relation to the deadly explosion.
Gov. Rick Perry declared McLennan County a disaster area during a news conference.
A litany of state and some federal agencies are helping the town of West, according to Perry. Everyone from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the Texas Department of Transportation are helping the town of 2,600.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the force of the explosion through the air was greater than a 2.1 earthquake.
The fire call came in at 7:29 p.m. CDT, Swanton said. The explosion was reported at 7:53 p.m.
"On my way in I saw homes that were burning, homes that had significant devastation, bricks were torn off," Swanton said. "It was almost tornadic in effect."
A YouTube video has surfaced of a man recording the explosion moments before it occurs. The video may be disturbing for some.
As the events unfolded, people in the area went online to report what was happening. One man posted a photo on Instagram of a giant black cloud that resulted from the explosion.
Kristen Crow, a reporter for the Tribune-Herald tweeted a photo of a triage on a football field. The field was later evacuated and the triage relocated.
The fire is under control, but continued to smolder Friday. Another factor in the disaster is the potential for toxic fumes.
The plant contains anhydrous ammonia used in the production of fertilizer, the fumes of which are dangerous to breathe.
The West Fertilizer Co. said it had 54,000 pounds of the chemical, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Because of the risk of poison, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality personnel said they are posted within a quarter-mile of the facility at the request of emergency personnel for safety reasons.
The Associated Press reports West Fertilizer was investigated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in 2006 after receiving a complaint of a small ammonia smell.
The town of West has a population of around 3,000 people. It is approximately 19 miles north of Waco, the city where cult leader David Koresh led a 50-day standoff against the FBI that ended in death on April 19, 1993.
Two years after Waco, on April 19, 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City was destroyed with a bomb that used fertilizer, killing 168.
And in what could be a tragic coincidence, Tuesday's disaster occurred the day after the anniversary of a similar fertilizer explosion in Texas City, TX, which took place on April 16, 1947.
The official death toll of that explosion was 581, making it the deadliest industrial accident in American history.

Special to the Journal
The North Dakota football team saw its spirited fourth-quarter rally fall just short as No. 6/7 South Dakota State held on for a 35-28 victory in the 48th annual Potato Bowl Saturday at the Alerus Center
Special to the Journal
The North Dakota football team saw its spirited fourth-quarter rally fall just short as No. 6/7 South Dakota State held on for a 35-28 victory in the 48th annual Potato Bowl Saturday at the Alerus Center. The loss snapped a 10-game Potato Bowl winning streak for UND (1-1), while SDSU (2-0) picked up its first win in four tries in the annual contest.
This game belonged to both team's All-Americans – South Dakota State running back Zach Zenner and UND wide receiver Greg Hardin. But, it was Zenner who held the spotlight at the end, equaling the school's single-game record for rushing yards with 295.
Zenner added four touchdowns and it was his last one – a 46-yard scamper on a fourth-and-short early in the final quarter that proved to be the game-winner in the first matchup between the schools in Grand Forks since the 2001 season.
Hardin and his resilient teammates did not go down without a fight. The senior finished with seven catches for 207 yards and a pair of touchdowns as he surpassed 200 receiving yards in a game for the second time in his career.
Hardin's second touchdown reception sparked a fourth-quarter rally that saw the home team cut the deficit down to seven points. His acrobatic 16-yard touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone made it 35-21.
Wide receiver Jameer Jackson then scored on a two-yard run from a direct snap to close to within 35-28. The UND defense came up big in the final stanza to give the offense a chance to get back in it as the unit forced a pair of three-and-outs, then overcame a late-hit penalty to give the offense one last chance for the tying touchdown.
Redshirt freshman Joe Mollberg, who relieved classmate Ryan Bartels after the opening series of the second half, had UND inside SDSU territory with just over two minutes to play, but cornerback Jimmy Forsythe picked off a third-down pass to seal the win.
It was the third turnover of the game for UND, who was also penalized 10 times for 107 yards.
SDSU did not commit a turnover and only had four penalties for 24 yards.
Despite the late interception, Mollberg's second-half line was an impressive one as he finished 15-for-23 for 259 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Kenny Golladay, who caught Mollberg's first collegiate touchdown pass in the third quarter, led UND with eight catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. For Golladay it was the first 100-yard receiving game of his career.
UND actually held the early lead at 7-0 as Bartels and Hardin brought the crowd of 10,038 to their feet early for the second straight week – this time connecting on a 39-yard touchdown pass on the opening possession. Unfortunately, that would be all the scoring UND would muster in the first half.
SDSU would go onto to score 21 unanswered points and build a 14-point lead at the half. Two of those touchdowns came from Zenner, who ran in from four yards out to give the Jacks' their first lead of the game. He then put his squad up 21-7, scoring on a 23-yard screen pass with under a minute to play.
Zenner finished the opening half with 143 rushing yards on 18 carries and also had two receptions for 31 yards. Hardin caught three passes for 72 yards in the opening half, but the SDSU defense forced three punts and picked off Bartels once to keep UND off the scoreboard after its opening possession.
UND outgained SDSU by three total yards 458-455, as the home team's redshirt freshman passing duo combined for 437 through the air. Bartels finished 13-for-22 for 178 yards and a touchdown, while SDSU junior Austin Sumner threw for just 157 yards, while the Jacks' ground attack churned out 298 yards.
Zenner did his damage on a career-high 37 carries, while the rest of the Jacks rushed 11 times for just three yards. SDSU wide receiver Jason Schneider had four catches for 91 yards and a touchdown in the victory.
UND will get another ranked opponent at home next Saturday as No. 13 Montana visits the Alerus Center for a 6 p.m. kickoff. The Grizzlies are 1-0 and coming off a bye week.

Scores of new plant varieties are released onto the market every year. Some are noticeably new: They have leaves or flowers in colors never seen before, bear noticeably more or bigger blooms, or have upgraded disease resistance. Other new plants offer advantages to greenhouse growers: They bloom earlier, have more compact habits, or can tolerate cooler temperatures so they don't need as much heat.
New plants aren't necessarily better for your garden, though, and that's why All-America Selections was established. It's an organization that tests new varieties across North America. The new varieties are compared with traditional selections; those that truly stand out are given the award. A small number of All-America Selections is awarded each year.
Even with a just a handful of varieties awarded every year, the list of winners is long. So we asked the All-America Selections judges to vote on their all-time favorite varieties. Here's what they said.
Petunias are one of the most popular annual flowers around, so you might guess there were a lot for the judges to choose from. (More than 60 varieties of petunia have won an AAS designation, the first in 1934.)
The AAS judges' all-time favorite is Wave Purple Classic, released in 1995. It grows about 6 inches tall and can spread 4 feet across, making a brilliant purple groundcover or bold hanging basket.
Also high on their list was a relative, Tidal Wave Silver, released in 2002. It has a more upright habit, growing almost 2 feet tall and capable of spreading 5 feet across. It shows off a profusion of beautiful silvery-blue flowers top to bottom from spring to frost.
Both petunias in the Wave family continue to bloom without the need for pinching or pruning, and they produce flowers throughout the plant rather than just on the tips of the stems as older petunia varieties did. Learn more about petunias.
Zinnia, another hugely popular annual flower, has had its share of winners, too: There have been more than 40 AAS-designated zinnias since 1935.
Of these, AAS judges proclaimed 2010's Zahara Double Fire a top pick. Bearing fully double flowers in a bold shade of orange, it's also more disease-resistant than many other zinnias on the market. It's a drought-tolerant annual that's perfect for growing in container gardens and planters.
Zinnia Profusion Cherry, a 1999 winner, is just as popular today as when it was new. Featuring brilliant cherry-pink flowers, it grows 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide, and it attracts butterflies like crazy. It's also heat-, drought-, and disease-resistant.
Two other popular picks with the judges are Zowie! Yellow Flame and Magellan Coral. Zowie! Zinnia Yellow Flame shows off large, clear-yellow flowers with stunning red centers. It grows 36 inches tall and 27 inches wide. Zinnia Magellan Coral is a dwarf selction that bears big, double coral-pink flowers on a 12-inch-tall plant. Learn more about zinnias.
Celosia, also called cockscomb, is an old-fashioned favorite that shows off feathery or crested blooms. It's a good choice for beginning gardeners, because celosia holds up well to heat and drought and continues to flower reliably all summer long.
Celosia Fresh Look Red, released in 2004, was a top pick. Growing 16 inches tall and wide, it bears rose-red plumes that look like candle flames over fresh green foliage. The plants have a compact, well-branched habit, producing lots of blooms on the plant. It doesn't require deadheading; new blooms cover up the faded flowers.
The judges also said you can't go wrong with celosia New Look, a variety released in 1988. It shows off bright red flowers accented by lovely bronze-purple foliage. It grows 14 inches tall and 12 inches wide, and it thrives in beds, borders, and container gardens. The attractive flowers are also wonderful for use in dried-flower crafts projects such as wreaths. Learn more about celosia.
There's so much to love about garden salvia: Its lovely flowers, the spiky upright texture it adds to the garden, how attractive it is to hummingbirds and butterflies, and the fact that it's super easy to grow.
AAS judges recommend salvia 'Evolution', a winner from 2006 that offers lilac-blue flowers and gray-green foliage. It's wonderfully drought-tolerant and loves hot weather (in fact, the species it's bred from is native to Texas). Salvia 'Evolution' grows about 20 inches tall and 16 inches wide. It thrives in the ground as well as containers and raised beds. You can also use the blooms in dried-flower crafts.
Note: While salvia 'Evolution' is commonly grown as an annual, it is a perennial in Zones 8-10.
If you prefer bold, hot colors, look for salvia 'Lady in Red', a 1992 winner that offers spikes of bold cherry-red blooms on 24-inch-tall, 18-inch-wide plants. Bred from a salvia species native to South America, you can count on 'Lady in Red' to perform no matter how hot the weather gets.
Because many types of salvia, including 'Evolution' and 'Lady in Red', have scented foliage, they're largely deer- and rabbit-resistant. Learn more about salvia varieties.
Native to areas of North and Central America, so-called African marigolds have been popular with gardeners for generations. Bearing dark green, finely divided foliage and brilliant flowers in shades of orange and yellow, it's easy to see why.
Marigolds are also a cinch to grow, making them top picks for beginning gardeners. Among marigolds, the AAS judges loved 2010's Moonsong Deep Orange, which bears pumpkin-color flowers all summer into autumn. Those bold blooms are large, too, at 3 or more inches wide. And, unlike many older varieties, you don't have to deadhead marigold Moonsong Deep Orange to keep it looking beautiful. It grows 15 inches tall and wide. Learn more about African marigolds.
Though you wouldn't guess it from the common name, French marigold is also native to areas of North America. A considerably smaller plant, it's just as garden-worthy. It's almost as common today to see herb and vegetable gardens planted with a border of little French marigolds as it was in your grandmother's time. (The practice is born out of the theory that marigolds deter rabbits and insect pests.)
The AAS judges picked 1980's French marigold Janie as one of their top picks. It's exceptionally heat-tolerant and holds its cheery yellow, orange, or rusty-red flowers well over the deep-green foliage. It grows 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Learn more about French marigolds.
There's a lot to love about breezy, old-fashioned cosmos: It's a fantastic cut flower, butterflies love it, it holds up to heat and drought, and it often self-seeds so it comes back every year on its own.
You can find two types of cosmos on the market. Of the orange and yellow types, judges called out 2000's cosmos Cosmic Orange. Bearing masses of brilliant golden-orange flowers, Cosmic Orange is a vigorous yet compact plant that grows 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide.
An old variety that's stood the test of time, cosmos Sensation Red won its AAS when it was released in 1934, and the judges still think it ranks among the best. Usually sold as part of a mix, Sensation Red grows 48 inches tall and 14 inches wide. It's a great performer even in hot, humid conditions and bad soil. Learn more about cosmos.
We love ornamental peppers in the garden for their outstanding performance in hot, dry weather. They're also beautiful; many ornamental peppers have attractive foliage and beautiful fruits (that are either too hot or have too little flavor for eating).
AAS judges prefer 'Black Pearl', a stunner from 2006 that shows off dark, purple-black leaves and purple flowers. The real draw, though, are the clusters of round black fruits that ripen to a bold cherry red. It typically grows 18 to 20 inches tall, but in areas with longer summers, it can reach as tall as 36 inches. It stays about 12 inches wide. Learn more about ornamental peppers.
There aren't many grasses that have won AAS awards, so you know they're all best bets for the garden. One to watch for, the judges say, is millet 'Purple Majesty'. This winner offers oustanding deep purple-black foliage topped by dark purple seed stalks. It grows 5 feet tall and takes hot, dry conditions like a champion. The foliage looks good paired with any color, from bold chartreuse (think a skirt of 'Marguerite' sweet potato vine) to silver, as well as pinks, blues, oranges, and yellows.

Understanding Audi
- S tronic
The S tronic combines the sporty characteristics of a manual gearbox with the advantages of an automatic.
Gear-changes with the dual-clutch gearbox are performed easily and with no appreciable delay. Depending on the driver's preference, the gears may be shifted in fully automatic mode or in manual mode using the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.
The dual clutch forms the technical basis of the S tronic. One of the two clutches engages the odd-numbered gears and reverse, the other engages the even-numbered gears. The benefit: a gearbox that shifts from one gear to the next in less than 0.2 seconds and with no interruption in power flow.
When in operation, one gear is always engaged and another is pre-selected: while the first clutch is transmitting power in one gear, the second clutch has the next gear selected and ready to engage. When the gearshift point is reached, one clutch segment opens in a flash while the other closes.
The driver therefore hardly notices the gearshift process. The consistently efficient power transmission ideally supports a sporty driving style – both in automatic mode and with manual shifting: Other advantages of S tronic: the gearbox's high efficiency leads to low fuel consumption and reduced emissions.

1. Re: Applying multiple strokes with JSCarlosCanto Apr 17, 2012 12:16 PM (in response to LemonJoe)
you can't apply multliple strokes, the one thing you can do is, create a graphic style (by hand) with all your attributes (stroke width, caps, multiple strokes, etc) then apply that graphic style via JS.
caps, stroke width, position
yourpath.strokeCap = StrokeCap.ROUNDENDCAP; yourpath.strokeWidth = 5; yourpath.zOrder (ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK);
2. Re: Applying multiple strokes with JSLemonJoe Apr 17, 2012 12:37 PM (in response to CarlosCanto)
I'm writing a script that would generate random stroke appearences on the fly, so using premade graphic styles does not work for me. Your samples work for a single stroke and so far i can't figure out how to apply several of them to the same path. Every next setting overwrites the previos. Can't get, say, two storkes of different width and color applied to the same path.
yourpath.zOrder (ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK); works in the layers stack for moving layers up and down, and i would like to move strokes in appearance tab the same way. Can't figure out how to make it either. Thank you anyway, Carlos!
3. Re: Applying multiple strokes with JSMuppet Mark Apr 17, 2012 1:20 PM (in response to LemonJoe)
As far as I know you can't… In my ( fluffy ) mind appearnce is kind of a secret group provided by plug-in ( like the masons funny handshakes ) In script you would have to stack the objects and group ( if needed )
4. Re: Applying multiple strokes with JSLemonJoe Apr 17, 2012 2:11 PM (in response to Muppet Mark)
Stacking several paths with different strokes might be a solution, but i was hoping for more elegant one :). Ok, if even Muppet Mark doesn't know then nothing left but to go with this one. Thanks!
5. Re: Applying multiple strokes with JSCarlosCanto Apr 17, 2012 2:54 PM (in response to LemonJoe)
yeah, unfortunately, half the features are not accessible to scripting.
