...Living in the coastal region of the Pacific northwest, it is no surprise that pacific salmon is such a sought out item in stores, restaurants, and the fishing community locally. Unfortunately, some groups want to make a quick buck by disguising Atlantic salmon to be Pacific by dying the muscle pink to appear as a Pacific salmon; Atlantic are usually pale in color compared to pacific. Not only is this fraud, but it is also a violation of trust between the consumer and the seller. Likewise, not only are they mislabeling coastal salmon species, but also selling farmed Pacific salmon as regular Pacific Salmon. Farmed salmon is a bad option for consumers due to the fish being in a closed community; this means a higher chance of disease, inbreeding,...

...in the city of San Francisco were $20 million and outside the city was $4million.The Earthquake vibration lasted for about 1 minute. The quake ruptured a total of 290 miles of the earth's surface along the San Andreas Fault, from northwest of San Juan Bautista to the triple junction at Cape Mendocino. Though most of the damage was focused in San Francisco the quake was felt all the way from Oregon to Los Angeles. Many building were destructed and several hundred of people got killed. The earthquake happened on the San Andreas Fault, which is the major fracture of the Earth's crust. It is trending northwestward through southern and northern California, US for 650 miles (1,050 km) and passing seaward in the vicinity of San Francisco. Movement along this transform fault is of the strike-slip type and is characterized by occasional large earthquakes originating near the surface along the path of the fault. The disastrous San Francisco quake of 1906 and the less serious earthquake of 1989 were both caused by movement along the fault. According to the theory of plate tectonics, the San Andreas results from the abutment of two major plates of the Earth's crust, the Northern Pacific and the North American. Along the fault, the Northern Pacific plate is sliding past the North American plate in a northerly direction, at a relative movement of about 1 cm per year over geologic time, though the rate of movement has been 4 to 6 cm per year over the past century. Parts of the...

...Harvard Business School 9-291-025 January 15, 1991 The Redhook Ale Brewery Paul Shipman, president and co-founder of the Redhook Ale Brewery, raised his beer mug in a toast with Redhook's treasurer and financial officer, David Mickelson. Sales at the Seattle-based microbrewer had increased at an average rate of 53% per year since 1984, and September 1990 had been another record month. After eight years of operations, Redhook's ales and porters had captured 50% of the increasingly competitive microbrewery market in the Pacific Northwest. Demand was projected to exceed, in two years, the 40,000-barrel annual production capacity of the company's single brewery. As a result, current plans called for the construction of a similar-sized brewery in the Bay Area of northern California. There were also plans to introduce a lager brand which would require the construction of a third, larger brewery in the Puget Sound region of western Washington. Expansion on this scale would require significant outside financing. Shipman and Mickelson were seeking a $5 million equity infusion from a well- established European brewery with an interest in entering the North American market. In addition to the new equity, $6.5 million of new bank financing would be required for the planned expansion. Mickelson's next challenge would be to negotiate an acceptable credit arrangement with Redhook's bank to provide the required debt financing. The Re-emergence of Microbreweries Though...

The great Indian mathematician Aryabhata (476-529) wrote the Aryabhatiya ─ a volume of 121 verses. Apart from discussing astronomy, he laid down procedures of arithmetic, geometry, algebra and trigonometry. He calculated the value of Pi at 3.1416 and covered subjects like numerical squares and cube roots. Aryabhata is credited with the emergence of trigonometry through sine functions. Around the beginning of the fifteenth century Madhava (1350-1425) developed his own system of calculus based on his knowledge of trigonometry. He was an untutored mathematician from Kerala, and preceded Newton and Liebnitz by a century. The twentieth-century genius Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920) developed a formula for partitioning any natural number, expressing an integer as the sum of squares, cubes, or higher power of a few integers. Origin of Zero and the Decimal System The zero was known to the ancient Indians and most probably the knowledge of it spread from India to...

And in the last decade, researchers note, some of the most virulent strains have infected people. by Michelle Nijhuis On the southeastern outskirts of Washington, D.C., inside the Smithsonian Institution’s cavernous Museum Support Center, one can see some frogs that no longer exist. Alcohol-filled glass jars hold preserved specimens of Incilius periglenes, the Monte Verde golden toad; the Honduran frog Craugastor chrysozetetes, which in life was olive-brown with purple palms and soles; its Costa Rican cousin, Craugastor escoces; and Atelopus ignescens, a black toad not seen in the wild for decades. All of these extinct species are likely victims of the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which attacks the outer skin layers of amphibians, disrupting their water and electrolyte intake so severely that infected animals can die of cardiac arrest. The fungus, known familiarly as Bd, has been found in more than 500 species of amphibians in 54 countries to date, most recently in Asia. Some areas of Central America have lost more than 40 percent of their amphibian species to Bd infection. Karen Lips, a University of Maryland herpetologist who...

...(LIPs) are massive emplacements of extrusive and intrusive mafic rock. Processes other than seafloor spreading form these mass emplacements and they are the primary mechanism of terrestrial magmatism on earth. LIPs are distinguishable from mid-ocean ridge magmatism and arc magmatism on the basis of petrologic, geochemical, geochronological and physical volcanological data. Large igneous provinces occur in both continental and oceanic crust.(Coffin and Eldholm, 1991). The purpose of this review is to give an overview of the types of LIPs, their formation, and the possibility of their contribution to mass extinction events. 2. Types of Large Igneous Provinces LIPs are characterized by the attributes of their primary mafic rocks. Research has primarily focused on continental flood basalts such as the Deccan Traps or the Columbia River Flood Basalt (Map 1). Most continental flood basalts are part of extensional sedimentary basins. It is not currently ascertainable as to whether magmatism or extension occurred first (Coffin and Eldholm,...

...Power Plant. Following this severe breach in security, numerous radioactive isotopes and radioactive particles were released into the environment, specifically the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding air/atmosphere, thus contaminating groundwater, soil and seawater, as well as effectively shutting down a myriad of Japanese fisheries. The ocean and air mainly came in contact with high levels of Iodine-131, Cesium-137, and Cesium-134, as well as lower levels of Tellurium, Uranium, and Strontium, which were concentrated closer to the surrounding area of the nuclear power plant. However, the impact that these radioactive materials will have upon the United States, in particular, has caused quite the national controversy. Despite heavy national acceptance of the occurrence of the disaster, two popular and opposing hypotheses have formed as a result of the Media’s lack of focus on recent analyses of the impending effects of Fukushima Disaster upon the U.S.: (1) the radioactive material that leaked as a result of the TEPCO nuclear power plant failure will not have a drastic, threatening effect on the United States, specifically the West Coast, due to the supposedly limited leak of radioactive material and more importantly the short half-lives of the radioactive isotopes released and the accepted likelihood that the Pacific Ocean dilutes the leaked radioactive material; as opposed to (2) the radiation leaked as a result of the tsunami will become a national crisis, contaminating...

...2012 National Research Report Why Did They Enroll? The Factors Influencing College Choice An analysis of traditional-aged students What matters to students when deciding where to enroll? There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll. Factors such as cost and the availability of financial aid are universally important at all types of institutions. However, other factors can vary widely by institution type, demographics, class level, and whether the student enrolled at his or her top choice. Every year, hundreds of campuses administer the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory™ (SSI) to their students. In addition to more than 70 items rated for importance and satisfaction on the general student experience, the SSI includes nine items that address factors in a student’s decision to enroll. During the fall of 2011, more than 55,000 students from more than 100 public and private fouryear and two-year institutions completed the SSI. These students rated the factors to enroll items on a scale of one (meaning not important at all) to seven (very important). This report details the responses from the nationwide pool of data. In particular, this report has a special emphasis on the nearly 22,000 first-year students who responded in order to see which items scored higher with ratings of important or very important (a ranking of six or seven on the answer scale). Comparisons with upperclass students and between students at their first-choice institution...

...water supplies for drinking, forest health, and much more. Many people mistake global warming and climate change to be the same thing. Although they are very similar, global warming is what causes climate change. Global warming is the rising of global temperature and ocean temperature. This is what causes the climate change events listed above. Global warming is a global event while climate change is a more regional change in the atmosphere. There are many people who think climate change is not happening. The National Academy of Science has studied climate change and confirmed that it is real and humans are causing it. According to the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington, the average annual temperature in the Pacific Northwest rose by 1.5° F in the 20th century and is expected to rise 0.5° F per decade in the first half of the 21st century. This can be seen in the graph below. (Climate Change. (2009, March 1) from http://cses.washington.edu/cig/pnwc/cc.shtml) What causes this rise in the earths temperature leading to...

...other parts of the world. While most legends are told and brushed off as simply crazy stories, the legend of Bigfoot has caused much debate and investigation into the truth behind the stories of the giant ape-like animal. Many scientists have studied the supposed evidence of Bigfoot and the stories that have been told about the creature. For years, the research into the existence of Bigfoot has gone on with no conclusive evidence being found to prove the existence or non-existence of such an animal. As the questions remain, the legend of Bigfoot lives on and continues to grow from year to year. The stories and evidence provided in this paper are all from David Jenkins’ personal collection and experiences. David Jenkins was my zoology teacher in tenth grade, my biology teacher in eleventh grade, and finally my marine biology teacher my senior year. Mr. Jenkins has gone to church with my family and I since I can remember. He is a science teacher by trade, but is also a legitimate Bigfoot researcher and is affiliated with the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. When I spoke to Mr. Jenkins in May 2013, that I would be writing a research paper on the subject of Bigfoot, he was more than pleased to help me. BIGFOOT: LEGEND OR FACT? 3 When people hear talk...
