Washington's hidden Glacier Peak volcano is among the most dangerous

Glacier Peak in Snohomish County has unleashed eruptions five times bigger than Mount St. Helens' stupendous blast 38 years ago this month.

As Kilauea continues its rampage on Hawaii's Big Island, the 38th anniversary this month of Mount St. Helens' cataclysmic eruption is an uneasy reminder that the snow-capped volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest can awaken at any time.
Yet one of Washington's most dangerous volcanoes remains the least-monitored and the least-studied in the Cascade range.
Tucked deep inside its namesake 566,000-acre wilderness a scant 70 miles northeast of Seattle, Glacier Peak is the state's hidden volcano. At a modest 10,541 feet, its summit doesn't tower over the landscape like Rainier, Baker or Adams. Settlers didn't even realize it was a volcano until the 1850s, when Native Americans told the naturalist and ethnologist George Gibbs about a small mountain north of Rainier that once smoked.
Geologists have since discovered that Glacier Peak is one of the state's most active and explosive volcanoes, said Seth Moran, scientist-in-charge at the U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory. Its most recent eruption, about 300 years ago, was a small one.
But since the end of the last ice age, the volcano has erupted repeatedly in at least six episodes — including two outbursts five times bigger than the blast that blew Mount St. Helens apart on May 18, 1980.
An eruption of that scale today would bury nearby communities like Darrington and Rockport under slurries of mud and debris called lahars. Roiling columns of ash more than 100,000 feet high would disrupt air traffic across the region, while sediment-laden floods could reach the Puget Sound lowlands and possibly even threaten Interstate 5.
The USGS ranks Glacier Peak among the country's highest-threat volcanoes. But the only monitoring is done by a single seismometer southwest of the summit — far less instrumentation than on any other Cascade volcano. The agency also has yet to complete a geologic map of the area, Moran said.
The problem is partly lack of money and staff, and partly because Glacier Peak is so hard to get to, he explained. Because it's in wilderness, geologists have to pack in all their gear — then pack out heavy rock samples.
Hiking in to a base camp takes nearly two days, then it's a cross-country scramble to reach remote ridges and valleys in search of signs of past eruptions.
"It's a lot of forcing your way through the devil's club and dense forests and navigating really, really steep terrain," Moran said.
The USGS hopes to install four additional seismometers soon, while ongoing geologic field studies aim to fill in gaps in the volcano's eruptive history. But the agency estimates it needs at least a dozen instruments on Glacier Peak to effectively track the tiny earthquakes and ground motion that can signal an impending eruption, Moran said.
Progress could be accelerated if Congress approves the Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring Bill sponsored by Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. The bill, which passed the Senate last week, would authorize $55 million over the next five years, partly to modernize and expand monitoring at Glacier Peak and other volcanoes.
Sponsored in the House by Alaska Rep. Don Young, the bill would fund volcano research and establish a center to track data from volcanoes around the clock.
"The safety of our communities is paramount, and our legislation will ensure we have the science, technology and monitoring needed to keep people informed and safe," Cantwell said in a statement.
In addition to explosive eruptions and lahars, Glacier Peak's repertoire includes formation of lava domes, parts of which collapsed repeatedly during past eruptions to form scorching avalanches of rock and debris called pyroclastic flows. The flows incinerate everything in their path — which makes Glacier Peak's lack of close neighbors a good thing.
The thick vegetation that covers the mountain makes it hard to trace the path of past pyroclastic flows and lahars, so the USGS commissioned lidar, or laser mapping, that was finished in 2016.
The technique digitally strips away vegetation, revealing the bare landscape. Features like lahars and lava flows pop out with unprecedented clarity, Moran explained.
The resulting maps underscore the risk to the Stillaguamish and Skagit Valley communities closest to the mountain, many of which were built on the thick deposits left by past lahars. In a worst-case eruption, debris flows or their muddy remnants might reach as far as Arlington, Stanwood, Mount Vernon and La Conner, according to USGS analyses.
As scientists assemble a fuller picture of Glacier Peak's hazards, officials in Snohomish County have been working to raise awareness and reduce the danger, where possible.
The county requires anyone who wants to build in the danger zone to sign a disclosure that makes it clear the property is "subject to periodic and potentially life-threatening destructive mud, water and debris flows."
Over the past year, emergency managers posted the first education and warning signs in the Darrington area. They plan to install more in the near future, said Dara Salmon, deputy emergency management director. County residents can also sign up to get emergency alerts for a wide range of natural disasters, including eruptions and lahars.
"I think awareness is higher than it used to be," Salmon said, "But we still have a ways to go."

Three more states are on track to implement the health care law and establish health insurance marketplaces, or Exchanges, in their states. Health and Human Services (HHS) issued the first conditional approval of a State Partnership Exchange in Delaware and Minnesota and Rhode Island are conditionally approved today to operate a State-based Exchange.
This announcement by HHS follows those issued last week to Washington, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, and Oregon to operate State-based Exchanges. Idaho Governor Butch Otter has recommended that his state adopt a State-based Exchange in this session of the Idaho Legislature. Even if approved, Idaho will be late to the table and can't offer a state-based Exchange in 2014.
The State Partnership Exchange model is an option provided to states that want to manage part of the Exchange in 2014. A Partnership Exchange allows states to make key decisions and tailor the marketplace to local needs and market conditions. In addition to Delaware, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, and North Carolina have also expressed early interest in establishing a State Partnership Exchange. The conditional approval provided to Delaware today is the first of its kind and shows the vast progress Delaware has made ahead of the Feb. 15, 2013, deadline to apply to operate a State Partnership Exchange.
Because of the Affordable Care Act, consumers and small businesses in every state will have access to a new marketplace starting in 2014 where they can access quality, affordable private health insurance. These are similar to those choices that will be offered to members of Congress. Consumers in every state will be able to buy insurance from qualified health plans directly through these marketplaces and may be eligible for tax credits to help pay for their health insurance.

AG: Man killed off Route 101 fired at trooper
Alex LaCasse @Nomad_Reports
Jan 3, 2019 at 6:11 PM Jan 3, 2019 at 6:11 PM
EPPING � A state trooper was justified when he fired four shots at Walter Welch Jr. as he sat in his pickup truck off Route 101 on Sept. 29, striking him with three bullets, including two to his head, as Welch also shot himself in the head, according to the state attorney general.
Welch, 40, of Fremont, died in the encounter, and the chief medical examiner said the bullets from either Trooper Kevin Dobson's gun or Welch's own weapon may have been the fatal blow. The manner of his death was classified as �undetermined.�
Dobson, who was placed on administrative leave per protocol after the incident, will not be charged with a crime, said Assistant Attorney General John Kennedy, who spoke during a press conference held Wednesday to announce the findings of the investigation.
The gunfire came after Dobson responded to multiple 911 calls reporting an erratic driver on both Route 16 southbound and later Route 101 westbound before the shooting incident on Depot Road off Exit 6, Kennedy said.
Attorney General Gordon MacDonald said the trooper observed Welch�s �red, shiny eyes� and asked him how much he had to drink that night, to which Welch responded, �a lot.�
MacDonald said Welch then quickly grabbed a 9-millimeter handgun on the passenger seat in his truck and fired a single shot out the passenger�s window �in the direction of Dobson,� after being told to drop the weapon. Welch had a blood-alcohol concentration of .234, according to a toxicology report.
"In brandishing and firing a firearm on a public road and toward Trooper Dobson, Mr. Welch presented an ongoing deadly threat to the trooper and any members of the public in the vicinity,� MacDonald said.
Kennedy said Dobson retreated to the rear of Welch�s vehicle and, after again commanding Welch to drop his weapon, he reported Welch opened his driver�s side door. Dobson then fired four shots into the vehicle. Welch was struck in the head with one round, another grazed the top of his head with a second, and a third round entered his back.
Kennedy said at the time, unbeknownst to Dobson, Welch had fired a single gunshot into the right side of his own head during the exchange. His autopsy states he suffered a �contact wound,� meaning it was consistent with the muzzle of the weapon being fired in close proximity to the head. There were two 9-millimeter casings found in Welch�s vehicle, Kennedy said.
Kennedy played audio from the incident with Dobson reporting to a state police dispatcher about shots being fired and asking for an ambulance to be sent. Authorities said there is no known video of the incident. He also played audio from three separate 911 calls reporting Welch�s alleged erratic driving.
Asked if this incident and other officer-involved shootings increase state police�s consideration to equip troopers with body cameras or vehicles with dashboard cameras, Col. Christopher Wagner said his agency will be pursuing it �in the near future." He said state police are looking at the implementation and costs of the technology.
Wagner said Dobson has been cleared to return to work but currently remains on administrative leave, adding "we are looking forward to having him back soon."
�The loss of Mr. Welch is very tragic and our heartfelt condolences go out to his surviving family,� Wagner said.

22th of January - Trend seminar Christine Boland, Tony Bannister & Christine Foden
22th of January - Spring/Summer 2020
Christine Foden, Christine Boland & Tony Bannister
On January 22nd, Appletizer organized a trend seminar focused on the Spring/Summer 2020 season. With 3 influental speakers, it became a full-day inspiring experience. Christine Foden (D'Cipher FM) started her presentation 'Clean Up! if not now when!'. Our well-known and the always inspiring Christine Boland takes the second floor with her presentation '[DE] SIGN OF THE TIMES' and no one other than Tony Bannister (SCOUT) closes the day with his presentation entitled 'CLEAR VISION, a new day, a new dawn, a new decade '. These three speakers have together highlighted both women's wear and menswear, life, activewear and kidswear.
Christine Foden - SS2020 - 'Clean UP' ''IF NOT NOW WHEN''
Christine Boland - SS2020 - [DE]SIGN OF THE TIMES
''As much balance as there is in the year 2020, so little balance we currently see in the world. Polarization is increasing, more and more dictatorial leaders are coming to power and there is an elusive threat in the air. The earth sighs and supports under the influence of the "Anthropocene" and people themselves have to get used to the new reality of mixed realities, in which algorithms and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly influential. Fortunately we also see a clear counter-movement of people who stand up for a better world. Who speak out for equality and inclusiveness. Who seek the analogue human contact and retreat nature to restore balance. Design language reflects this movement, or actually counter-movement. Creativity is the answer. Pessimism and cynicism are combated with humor and positivity. Extremes that evoke tension in society can perfectly coexist in design. Idealism, realism, history, futurism, conformism and non-conformism are reflected in today's visual language. From abstract anonymity to exuberantly expressive folklore and from pure nature to artificial. All these facets come together in one way or another in six clear statements, each with a clear underlying motive.
'Be inspired' - Christine Boland
Tony Bannister - SS2020 - 'CLEAR VISION, a new day, a new dawn, a new decade'
''What do we leave behind, what do we take with us and what do we adopt that's new? Will 2020 be the pioneering decade that leads us into the future? Will it manifest and push the boundaries of change and innovation, or will it be a decade of stagnation and safety? At SCOUT, we think positively. As future analysts, we see this new decade as exciting and full of potential, in terms of newness, innovation and optimism, using our knowledge and experience to chart a course through yet more turbulent times and unforeseen events. As technology and AI changes society and our fragile planet weathers the pressure of dwindling resources and a changing environment, we consider and analyse these key factors that shape our thinking in terms of big picture concepts and influences.
CLEAR VISION is our core message for 2020. Discard old, outdated ways as we look to the future, embracing new challenges. Our six concepts take us on an exciting journey into the new decade and beyond. We explore calm and cleansing, wellbeing and mindfulness, technology and nature, recycling and resourcefulness, fluid and transparency, sun-kissed and atmospheric, and the boundless possibilities of another life and future living.
It's exciting times, full of wonder and opportunity. Let us take you on a journey with a CLEAR VISION and focus.
Where is your life heading?
SCOUT''

Streaming Concert Watch 1/6: Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan and More
Justin Richmond On the Particular Brilliance of EW&F's "Keep Your Head to the Sky"
UPDATED: The 2014 HPMA Write-In Nominees
| HPMA |
Houston Press | July 14, 2014 | 5:00am
UPDATE (Monday, 2 p.m.): See new voting ballot info in third-to-last paragraph.
It's been an interesting week. Rocks Off would like to thank everyone who participated in last week's write-ins for the 2014 HPMA ballot. It says a lot that even after their favorite local artists were left off this year, fans cared enough to speak up for them and tell us we were wrong.
Of course we expected some criticism of our revised nominating process. But we still felt it was an improvement on the previous system, which sometimes rewarded acts as much for their self-promotion skills as the actual music they made, and excluded some deserving artists who were simply not interested in dancing to that particular tune.
That's why the people we asked to participate this year were the most knowledgeable about the local music scene that we could think of (and who wanted to participate; ultimately all but a couple of people we asked did). Furthermore, they are, in our opinion, all people capable of being as objective as possible about a survey that hinges on the use of the word "best." They will also all stay safely anonymous.
So that's our story and we're sticking to it. But like we said last week, it was never our intention for this whole thing to be a one-way street.
Being that this is the first time we've tried doing it this way, and this being the Internet, we expected there to be a few bugs...and we were right. First, we realize that last Monday's original instructions might have been a little clearer as to whether the write-in would be a separate category of its own or apply to each individual category. Apologies for any ambiguity, but it's just not feasible to add write-in spots for all thirtysomething categories. Not this year, anyway.
So here's what we did. Nominations for an individual member of a group were counted for that group. Comments listing multiple members of a group (with or without the name of group itself) were also counted as one vote for that group. There were quite a few duplicate vote-comments, but we only counted one vote per commenter name per artist. Naively or not, we trusted that each comment/vote for an artist under a different name actually came from different people. This being the Internet...well, sometimes you just have to trust people.
If that makes us naïve, we can live with it. But even after all that, we're 100 percent comfortable with this year's slate of write-in nominees. Our regrets to those who missed the cut by just a few comments.
So...all that leaves now is the actual voting. (NEW INFO) Guess what? It's ready. The write-in category has been added onto the HPMA ballot and the phone lines (as it were) are now open. Don't worry; if you've already cast your ballot this year, you can go back and add your write-in choice too.
Along with all the others, the winner will be announced at this year's HPMA ceremony August 7 at Warehouse Live, now featuring the Tontons, the Suffers, Electric Attitude and thelastplaceyoulook. Tickets are on sale now.
And now, your brand-new write-in HPMA nominees. Congratulations to them all.

Solar Company in Farmingville, NY 11738
Solar Companies in Farmingville, NY Advise That Changing to Solar Power is Easier Than You Think
You've no doubt seen solar panels on the roofs of your neighbors and friends residing in Suffolk County. You may have even seen panels positioned on carports and commercial buildings. But have you ever considered solar energy for your home or business location?
Oftentimes, when a person is unfamiliar with a house upgrade like solar, it is automatically assumed that the venture will not be a benefit. However, when it comes to solar power offered by solar companies in Farmingville, NY, you'll be surprised to know that the benefits of solar are worth learning more about it.
Selecting a Full Service Solar Company For More Information in Suffolk County
When it comes to investing in solar power, your first step will be to find a reputable solar company in your area. You can ask neighbors that have already installed solar panels or search online and read through hundreds of customer reviews. Smart Home Energy Source installs solar power systems throughout the Farmingville, NY area. They take great pride in their work by creating value, energy efficient solutions and match it with service that combines expertise, teamwork and customer satisfaction. It's no doubt that Smart Home Energy Source is regarded as a highly recommended solar company helping local owners appreciate the benefits of solar energy.
Solar Power is Energy That Comes From the Sun
Solar power is quite amazing. It's the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity for everyday use. After highly efficient solar panels are installed, the sunlight activates the panels and cells produce electrical current. The current flows from the solar panels and down to your solar inverter. The inverter converts the energy generated from the panels into usable energy. The energy flows from the inverter into your breaker box, which then circulates through the home or commercial building. Unused energy flows back to the utility meter and is available to use in the future.
Solar energy is environmentally beneficial because it doesn't add pollution to the environment and it's a renewable energy source. In addition, it will not deplete the limited resources in the world. Solar has unlimited potential and despite what you may be thinking, it even works on cloudy days.
Benefits Of Solar Power to Residential and Commercial Locations
Solar companies will explain the many benefits to potential customers with the first being the savings that a property owner can save on electric bills. Another benefit is that a solar power system is designed to last 30 years or longer. Solar power that is linked to a battery backup power source keeps the power on during power outages. Purchasing solar panels from a solar company will increase a property's equity and even more importantly, help the environment. Solar power provides clean, sustainable, renewable energy. Even further, solar energy is abundant because it's always available, wherever there is sunlight. And despite the world trying to locate new energy sources, solar power is considered the energy of the future.
Solutions for Homes or Buildings That Lack Roof Space for Solar Panels
When you consult with solar panel companies, they will evaluate your current energy needs, monthly electric bills in addition to other factors. The configuration of your home in regard to the positioning of the sun is an important evaluation. Roof age, pitch, composition and space is another concern as the roof is typically the location that the solar panels get installed. If your home lacks roof space for solar panels, no worries. Professional solar panel companies like Smart Home Energy Source can install solar pergolas, pavilions and carports to house the solar panels. These structures look attractive and add outdoor living space so they are functional, aesthetically pleasing and also hold the panels necessary to provide solar power to a home or commercial building.
Solar Energy Plus a Battery Backup Equals Power During Outages
Battery backup systems can be part of solar systems to be used during emergency power outages.
The backup allows a solar powered system to continue to produce and use solar energy during the outage. A home or building can use solar energy or save it to use as backup power in the event that the grid goes down. When a power outage occurs, the system automatically switches over to battery power so solar energy production will continue.

Some information about Farmingville, NY
Farmingville is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Suffolk County town of Brookhaven, New York, United States. The population was 15,481 at the 2010 census.
The first settlement in what is now called Farmingville occurred in the late 18th century, and was called Bald Hills and Mooney Ponds, before it eventually was called Farmingville (though the soil and hills are not good for agriculture). The Keibel Family had a 72-acre fruit and vegetable farm from 1950 till 1982. It did not have its own post office until 1950.
The home of Elijah Terry, the first teacher in the local school, was built in 1823 and sits next to the Bald Hill Schoolhouse, built in 1850. The schoolhouse is in the National Register of Historic Places.
Bald Hill, one of the highest points on Long Island, is located on the Ronkonkoma Moraine, where the glacier which formed Long Island stopped its advance. At the top of Bald Hill is Vietnam Memorial Park, which includes an obelisk-shaped monument painted red, white, and blue, which was dedicated on Nov. 11, 1991. The Bald Hill Cultural Center features the outdoor Long Island Community Hospital Amphitheater and was previously the location of a ski area from 1965–1980.

One of the key functions of a Mission Computer is to display information on the HUD.
ComAvia has developed an FPGA based IP Core and the necessary electronics to do just this. It has the power to translate any symbol into the corresponding X,Y and Z values along with raster images that are displayed on the HUD while maintaining the hand-shaking signals on the other lines of the HUD.
HUD-G has been evaluated by integrating with actual HUDs. Future versions of HUD-G will have the ability to store various symbols and drive the HUD based on commands from the Mission Computer.

Sex Ban Won't Stop Brits from Cheating
Despite government's new regulations on social distancing, 60% of cheating partners will keep flaunting the lockdown rules in order to have sex with their lover or mistress.
In order to crack down on people breaking lockdown rules, the government has banned indoor gathering of any sort with people outside of the household. Nonetheless, when it comes to infidelity and sexual intercourse, Brits tend not to abide by the law, and instead keen to breach these regulations.
The so-called "Sex Ban" law, prohibits indoor "gatherings" of two or more people from different households and introduces prosecution under law for all individuals involved rather than solely those who were in someone's home. Although there was no explicit mention of the word sex or sexual intercourse with someone outside of the household, this clearly falls under the category of social interaction considered as illegal.
Gleeden - the first portal for extramarital encounters in Europe made by women with over 6 million members of which over 250,000 in the UK – has conducted a new survey on 1,178 of its members in the UK in order to investigate cheating behaviour during and after the lockdown.
The extramarital portal which has seen an increase of +150% on its daily traffic with its membership number increased by +45% in less than one week after the start of the lockdown, reported that 60% of British married people are not afraid to meet with their lover or mistress, despite the latest severe prohibition of the government on indoor gathering. However, there are still 40% who are intimidated by the law and prefer to wait for the official green light before meeting in person.
Unfaithful Brits look not afraid by the so-called "Sex Ban" and, apparently, will not restrain from having sex with their lovers: despite the new restrictions which ban indoor gatherings with people outside the household, 92% of the responders who are going to see their lover no matter what, claimed that they are willing to take their chances also on this matter.
Moreover, the survey enabled the portal to create a map of infidelity displaying the regions more inclined to break the law during these times. According to the survey, South of England (91%) together with South Wales (95%) represent the higher percentage of Brits who would break social distancing rules in order to meet with their lover or mistress. West Midlands (67%) and East of England (59%) are in second position, while Scotland (43%), North East (39%) and North West (27%) result to be the most cautions towards the safety rules on social distancing.
However, an older survey which ran from April 27th to May 14th has revealed a significant alteration of the attitude toward social distancing previous and following the ease of the measurements in early May. In fact, while initially only 37% of Brits did not abstain from seeing their lover during the whole length of the lockdown, after the ease of restrictions the number of Brits attempted to plan a romantic day with the lover increased up to 72%.
Gleeden also discovered the expectation of its members from the new online flirts during the pandemic. On one hand, 54% believe that the lockdown will not last long and, therefore, they assume they will meet in person soon. On the other hand, only 46% answered solely virtual interaction.
*Gleeden.com online survey conducted from the 1st to the 5th of June 2020 among 1,178 users living in the UK.
