Some of the articles you might have missed this week …


A lava flow from Kilauea breaks local traffic laws in the Royal Gardens subdivision, Hawai’i

  • The Mayon Watch continues in the Philippines. No eruption yet, but some of the local newspapers are printing stories talking about “odd animal behavior” and other local “myths” about predicting the volcano, such as the wells drying up. Now, this is not to say that these things might have some predictive value (especially changes in the water table near the volcano as it inflates/deflates), but so far there are no robust scientific studies that I know of that can directly correlate animal behavior and volcanism (at least before an eruption). One possibility mentioned in the article is that the animals are noticing subtle increases in sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide emissions. However, the best point made by Eduardo Laguerta of PHIVOLCS is more or less this: if animals are evacuating, maybe humans should take the hint (as opposed to doing the opposite). Local authorities are doing “dry runs” for potential evacuations. The volcano currently sits at Alert Level 2.
  • The NASA Earth Observatory had a nice image this week of activity in the Pu’u O’o crater on Kilauea. The extent of the lava flows from this flank vent eruption is evident, with the dark black flows heading all the way down to the Pacific Ocean (~10 km / 4 miles). Plumes from the active Pu’u O’o vent and an small ocean entry are visible as well. Lava flows from Kilauea destroyed another building in the Royal Gardens subdivision this week as well. Most of the damage in the subdivision is being caused by a small breakout from the lava tube system that feeds the Kupapa’u ocean entry.
  • The NASA EO hit us with another great image of an erupting volcano this week, this time at Anak Krakatau (who was popular this week). This image, taken on July 7, 2009, shows the active cone on Anak Krakatau, which some nice detail on the lava / scoria flows that cut through the small bits of vegetation on the east side of the island. The Indonesian volcano currently sits at Alert Level 3

    It takes more thought to come up with a good blog comment then a bad one. For instance, it takes much less brain effort to say “you suck” than to say “I profoundly disagree with the simplistic drivel that has been touted on this networked opinion delivery system.” As evidenced by the number of moronic comments that are left on various blogs, it appears that the majority of blog readers have the cranial capacity of cattle who spend a lot of time defecating in the same pool they drink from.

    Second, Charlie is saying the 100-point system isnt meant to be precise, but that, to me (and Tish, obviously), is exactly the problem: People who dont know any better assume theres some real quantitative difference between an 89 and a 90; and people who do know better exploit this ignorance to their profit.

    Read the comments all of them once again and then make such statements. I thought PFC was all about voicing your opinion, I even thought about sharing my stories and narratives about Indian cinema, but now it seems that it can only show one side of the argument and if that argument is made by a PFC luminary and he starts losing ground well then term everyone else as a hypocrite and take the easy way out.

    UNESCO Exterminating us through food rationing: “Second as regards population to deal with this problem it will be necessary to find ways of preventing an increase in world population. If this is to be done otherwise than by wars pestilences and famines, it would demand a powerful international authority. This authority should deal out the world’s food to the various nations in proportion to their population at the time of the establishment of the authority. If any nation subsequently increased its population it should not on that account receive any more food. The motive for not increasing population would therefore be very compelling.”Page 110-111Theres your UNESCO psycho-pathocracy right there.THESE PATHOCRATS MEAN BUSINESS!WAKE UP!

    Maybe someone can help me. I want to create a website with a focus on current events in education. I plan to write from my website articles and even published literature. The articles I write will be reviews and criticisms from published articles. I am aware of the Fair Use Doctrine and I can write reviews and provide ‘fair and reasonable criticism’ without license or approval from the author’s original material as long as I cite and provide references to the original author. My website will also have either sponsors or advertise products within it. But not related directly to the articles I write. Most likely advertisement for products I like. For example, a particular software product I like. My question is: Just by having this website “for profit”; am I in violation of the Fair Use Doctrine or have a copyright infringement because my website is for profit from the published material I write …OR not because the material I write about is not in any way having a copyright infringement upon my sponsors or advertisements even though my website is for profit (In other words, is there any connection or relationship between my sponsors (or advertisements) and my published articles regarding copyright infringement with a for profit website)? Please reply. Thanks!.
