No meltdowns.

If there were meltdowns, the radiation would be much, much higher. The government just announced that the Fukushima evacuees can go home.

The cores had been removed prior to the earthquake tero attack.

Meltdown means 2000+degrees centigrate. The temps are less than 100degrees.

Economic meltdown is coming.

S&P500 put option is well over 11million. ( monthly average is 15,000-20,000).

They are gambling that the market will crush in October.

Be well.

By integrating scientific studies with indigenous observation, these multiple forms of knowledge allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the complex challenges posed by climate change. The indigenous knowledge encompasses observations, lessons and stories about the environment that have been handed down for generations, providing a long history of environmental knowledge. These observations can also help uncover new areas for scientists to study.

The Arctic and Subarctic are of particular interest because these high latitudes are among the world’s first locations to begin experiencing climate change.

The most common statement by interview participants was about warmer temperature in recent years. It was observed to be warmer in all seasons, though most notably in the winter months. In previous generations, winter temperatures dropped to 40 degrees Celsius below freezing, while in present times temperatures only reach 25 C or 30 C below freezing. Moreover, in the rare case that temperatures did drop as low as they had in the past, it was a brief cold spell, in contrast to historic month-long cold spells.

The considerable thinning of ice on the Yukon and Andreafsky Rivers in recent years was the topic of several interviews. Thin river ice is a significant issue because winter travel is mainly achieved by using the frozen rivers as a transportation route via snow machines or sled dogs. Thinning ice shortens the winter travel season, making it more difficult to trade goods between villages, visit friends and relatives, or reach traditional hunting grounds. One interview participant also discussed how the Andreafsky River, on whose banks their village lies, no longer freezes in certain spots, and several people have drowned after falling through the resulting holes in the ice.

The unpredictability of weather conditions was another issue of concern, especially since these communities rely on activities such as hunting, fishing and gathering wild foods for their way of life. One does not want to "get caught out in the country" when the weather suddenly changes.

Vegetation patterns were also observed to be shifting due to the changes in seasonal weather patterns, and this leads to increased difficulty in subsistence activities. Interviews showed the unpredictability from year to year on whether vegetation, particularly salmonberries, could be relied upon. Those interviewed spoke of a change in the range of species of mammals (moose and beaver) as well as a decrease in the number of some bird species (ptarmigan). This is of special concern because of the important role these animals play in the subsistence diets of Alaska Natives. Many also rely on hunting or trapping for their livelihoods.

Participants also discussed lower spring snowmelt flows on the Andreafsky and Yukon Rivers, meaning less logs are flowing down the river. This hampers people's ability to collect logs for firewood and building materials, placing a strain on an already economically depressed region through increased heating costs and reliance on expensive fossil fuels.

A world out of balance- floods- droughts- severe weather A world-wide system.

A mountain grows taller, over time. The plates push. This is a progression. Nature progresses.

What did they think would happen, if they sliced the tops of the mountains off?
What did they think would happen if they removed billions of trees?
What did they think would happen if they starved the land of water to use for power?

What happens if you overload a system? Push it past the limits of capacity?

With Deaths of Forests, a Loss of Key Climate Protectors
Oct 1. 2011

" A lot of ecologists like me are starting to think all these agents, like insects and fires,
are just the proximate cause, and the real culprit is water stress caused by climate change"

Trees, natural carbon sponges, help keep heat-trapping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
But insect and human threats are taking a heavy toll on them.
Threatened by a warming climate.

The Amazon Forest is suffering, the trees are dying out.
Old growth forests all over the world are being stripped
and the land is covered with mono- culture trees.

Look at your food label- Do you see palm oil?

(The banks are buying land. Not companies.)

WISE RIVER, Mont. — "The trees spanning many of the mountainsides of western Montana glow an earthy red,
like a broadleaf forest at the beginning of autumn. But these trees are not supposed to turn red.
They are evergreens, falling victim to beetles that used to be controlled in part by bitterly cold winters."

Global Climate change- global weather imbalance

Tipped too far in this direction. Tipped to far in the other direction- extremes

What will happen to the Keystone XL pipeline for tar sands oil,
if the whole American North West and American Mid- West is on fire?

MCAS Mystery

Michael Safran, 16, a Newton North junior, spotted a problem with his math score
shortly after he received his results by mail earlier this week.

He said he was flipping through a pamphlet that accompanied the scores to see what area he got wrong on the math section,
and noticed he may have lost more credit for the incorrect answer than he should have.

Safran, who only got one question wrong on the math test, then went to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s
website to examine how the raw scores were converted to the scaled scores. According to the chart,
his score should have been converted to a perfect scaled score.

*The error caused the state to move up
the performance levels of nearly 3,251 tenth-graders to proficient or advanced.*

The correction of the error caused the state to reduce the number of schools and districts
that did not meet proficiency targets the state set under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Now, 1,393 schools 350 districts missed their target, instead of 1,404, and 354 districts.

MCAS math scores for 70,000 10th-graders were reported incorrectly, two days after
a Westwood High School principal and a Newton North High School student informed the state about an error.

Their notification, which earned the student a personal thanks from the governor, caused the state to move up
the performance levels of more than 3,000 10th-graders.

http://www.boston.com/Boston/metrod...ZccuIoRRNsaJzXwrkeO/index.html?p1=Local_Links

Why did this happen?

Reason given- "....the error occurred in the process of setting up the computer system to produce
this year’s MCAS results. In creating the system for this year’s data, an old scaled-score
conversion chart was stuck in as a placeholder until this year’s chart was received."

"But, because of a human error, the old chart was never swapped out with the new chart, Ross said."

Is this a complete picture of the truth?

4th century B.C., when 13 Greek city states borrowed funds from
the Temple of Delos. Most of the borrowers never made good on
the loans and the temple took an 80% loss on its principal.

The Greek War of Independence began in 1821 and targeted the end
of Ottoman authority. In 1824, a loan of 472,000 pounds was secured
on the London Stock Exchange to continue this fight. Additional loan of
1.1 million pounds was floated in 1825.

Speculators and middlemen in London skimmed off much of the proceeds
before Greece received any funds.

It wasn't until 1878 that the Greek government settled on the loans, which
by then with accrued interest had increased to over 10 million pounds.

In 1832, another loan totaling 60 million drachmas was given to Greece,
which was officially an independent sovereign nation. Greece managed
to stay current on this loan until 1843, at which time the government
stopped payments.

Who appointed a Bavarian prince that was made King of Greece, who
spent much of the money?- The English!

After this default, Greece was shut out of international capital markets
for decades. The government became dependent on the National Bank
of Greece for borrowing. The National Bank of Greece provided funds at
interest rates that were twice the international lending rate.

The Greek government settled outstanding defaults in 1878. Borrowing
increased to unsustainable levels and the government suspended
payments on external debt in 1893.

Which international banks let Greece borrow itself into disaster?

In 1898, foreign pressure led Greece to accept the creation of
the International Committee for Greek Debt Management.

Greece imposed a moratorium on paying on its outstanding foreign debt
in 1932. This default lasted until 1964, the longest of any of the country's
five defaults.

Eleftherios Venizelos was the Greek Prime Minster that defaulted on
Greece's sovereign debt in 1932.

Evangelos Venizelos, the current Greek Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Finance, is at the center of current crisis and heavily
involved with negotiations with the European Union.

Predating Stonehenge by 6,000 years, Turkey's stunning Gobekli Tepe upends the conventional view of the rise of civilization

Klaus Schmidt has made one of the most startling archaeological discoveries of our time: massive carved stones
about 11,000 years old, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people who had not yet developed metal tools or
even pottery. The megaliths predate Stonehenge by some 6,000 years. The place is called Gobekli Tepe,
and Schmidt, a German archaeologist who has been working here more than a decade, is convinced it's

National Emergency Alert System in America

When will we be seeing or hearing from EAS? -November 9, 2011!

Live emergency broadcast with Obama?

Why?

Washington - Nov 3, 2011 - The Nov. 9, 2011, national EAS test, which was originally
planned to include an audio message lasting 2.5 minutes, has been shortened.
The audio message will now last about 30 seconds. This is according to the NAB
and FEMA. With this change, the entire test should last about 1 minute.

The change was made at the direction of Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.

All radio and television stations must participate in the EAS Test. The test will start at approximately 2 p.m. ET.

The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was launched in 1994. It replaced the Emergency Broadcast System.

http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/emergency-alert-system-nationwide-test

At the Federal Communications Commission's June 9, 2011 Agenda meeting, Public Safety
and Homeland Security Bureau Chief Jamie Barnett, joined by representatives from
FEMA and the National Weather Service, announced that the first nationwide test
of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) would take place at 2:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time)
on November 9, 2011. The purpose of the test is to assess the reliability and effectiveness
of the EAS as a public alert mechanism. EAS Participants currently participate in
state-level monthly tests and local-level weekly tests, but no top-down review of
the entire system has ever been undertaken. The Commission, along with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, will use the results of this nationwide
test to assess the reliability and effectiveness of the EAS as a public alert
mechanism, and will work together with EAS stakeholders to
make improvements to the system as appropriate.

We are from the government. We are here to help you-
The FCC and FEMA?

"....the National Cable and Telecommunications Association filed a request with FEMA
on October 21, 2011 seeking to delay the national test because many cable systems
are not ready for it. The problem is that because the proposed test will use the
Presidential Emergency Action Notification code, the video will state that "This is an
Emergency Action Notification," and will not give any indication that it is a test. While
the audio will make clear that it is a test, those unable to hear the audio (for example,
the deaf/hard of hearing or people in a bar where the TV is on but the sound is turned down)
could reasonably conclude that an actual emergency is occurring."

Will be using the same code as if it were an actual emergency?
And it will not end the broadcast with the usual announcement and
message that the emergency message was only a test,
and now the test is ending?
What is going on?
Will the test continue?
Will it ever end? Or- is it never ending and eternal?

Strange changes

When did the government install EAS equipment?
Does it cut off individual control for each local television station and radio station?

Emergency Alert System?
Emergency Action Notification code?

EOM? EOS? EN OM

The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS)
developed the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) version 1.2 standard that
has been adopted by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
as the digital messaging format to be used in the implementation of
the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).
This is our nation's next generation emergency alert and warning system.

According to FEMA, IPAWS will accomplish the following, among other things:

# It will allow the president to speak to all the American people during any emergency situation;
# It will allow federal, state, territorial, local and tribal authorities access to broadcast
and other communications pathways for the purpose of creating and activating alert
and warning messages related to any hazard impacting public safety and well-being;
# It will diversify and modernize the Emergency Alert System;
# It will create an interoperability framework by adopting standards such as CAP;
# It will partner with NOAA to enable seemless integration of message transmission throughout national networks

This information comes from FEMA directly.

"The NPRM suggests that the following test-related diagnostic information

would be provided by the EAS participants for each alert received from each

message source monitored at the time of the national test:

(1) whether they received the alert message during the designated test;
(2) whether they retransmitted the alert; and
(3) if they were not able to receive and/or transmit the alert,

their ‘best effort’ diagnostic analysis regarding the cause or causes for such failure.

In addition, the Commission would require participants to provide information regarding the station,
date and time of the message and relay, information on the source of the message,
and make and model number of they EAS equipment that they utilized.
The Commission proposes to make the information publicly available,
but seeks input on whether it would be more appropriate to limit availability
to other authorized governmental agencies.

Broadcasters, cable operators, and others subject to the test should be getting
prepared for next week, and making sure that their EAS equipment is properly installed
and in operating condition. The FCC indicted in its Order requiring
the Nationwide Test that it is using this test principally to learn
about weaknesses in the system, not to penalize participants.
So not receiving the test should not lead to any FCC enforcement action
- that is the information that the FCC is seeking.
But, should the failure not be due to a failure in the system, but instead because
the EAS encoder/decoder at your stations was still in its box, or not plugged in,
or not connected to an antenna, that might be a different story - as might
the failure to file the necessary Form after the report, reporting on the results of
the test. That report must be filed by December 27. So be ready, and be alert for
any further updates which may come out of the FCC or FEMA in the next few days
before the test.

Test went off for Boston.
(At two in the morning, Boston time.)
I caught the tail end.
Nothing special about how it looked.
I had the volume turned down so low,
I heard nothing of what was said.

They had a commercial for it this evening telling people to warn
:their "colleagues at the office, their neighbors and friends and family members."
That it is not a real emergency, only at test.

What is it about this TV spot that would give people the impression
that there was a real emergency?

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

"It may seem like a scene out of George Orwell's "1984" or some other apocalyptic Hollywood blockbuster,
but government officials have wanted for years to establish a way for the White House to quickly, directly
alert Americans of impending danger."

"Commissioners voted last week to require television and radio stations, cable systems
and satellite TV providers to participate in a test that would have them receive and
transmit a live code that includes an alert message issued by the president. No
date has been set for the test."

"We want to make sure that it works the way it's designed to," Fowlkes said. "If there are
things that work well, great. If there are things that don't work well, we can work with EAS
participants and with state and local governments as well as our federal partners to
correct or improve what doesn't work."

At the same time, said Fowlkes, the FCC is looking at how wireless broadband could also
enhance the EAS as part of a recommendation that was in the FCC's National Broadband
Plan from last year.

The idea is to leverage broadband and the Internet for emergency alerting with the
"Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) being developed by FEMA and the wireless industry."

CMAS would allow three kinds of text messaging or wireless alert to be sent, said Fowlkes:

* Presidential Alerts - "Which would be the same as what the president might issue or FEMA might issue through the EAS system,
* Imminent Threat Alerts - Which Fowlkes said would warn when "there's a hurricane coming or a tornado coming," and then the
* Child Abduction Emergency/AMBER Alerts - Alerts related to missing or endangered children due to an abduction or runaway situation.

Fowlkes said the CMAS is slated to begin deployment in April 2012.

You will hear an artificially generated voice that will grate on the cochlear nerve in your ear.

You will hear unclear announcements with garbled unpleasant noise and multiple voices in the background.

What you are watching or listening to will be interrupted at any time.

Or cut off at the broadcasting point. Your cable TV, your radio, your cell phone,
your game, your computer, your nav system.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- "This is a test. This is only a test."

And some experts question whether the warning system has much value at the national level.

In a local emergency such as a gas leak, emergency management expert Art Botterell notes,
the system enables authorities to tell the homeowners to stay inside or to evacuate.
"But if the message is nationwide, what is the protection message that applies to everyone?" he said.

The system was in place but not used during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack?

September 11, 2001?

HOOVER, Ala. — During the transition from EBS to EAS in 1996, the state of Alabama was still
using the “daisy-chain” method of distributing EAS alerts. A couple of years later we
discovered that a number of states had started other means of distribution.

According to FCC rules, all broadcast stations and cable systems must monitor two sources capable

of relaying messages from the White House. The key word here is “sources.” That could mean radio stations, Internet, subchannels, satellite, etc.

http://www.rwonline.com/article/alabama-chooses-new-eas-network/24730

Blinked? Then you may have missed it

The test was brief -- 30 seconds from start to finish.

In the event of a real emergency, the alert would originate from wherever the president is. For test purposes, it originated from a FEMA operations center. The president was not be involved and did not speak.

But to duplicate real-world conditions, FEMA initiated the test by sending a "live" presidential alert code, a code that would be used in an actual emergency, to a number of radio stations known as Primary Entry Point (PEP) stations.

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/29716883/detail.html

The National EAS is a public alert and warning system that enables the President of the United States to address the American public during extreme emergencies.

You will get the "official message". Not a local message that might inform you about your own community, conditions and information.

Great job, Brownie!- Remember him? He was an official hire! For an official job!
