USGS Scientists now say that tremors are beginning again, with less frequency but with magnitudes between 2.5 and 3.0 - Webicorders at http://www.pnsn.org are now active again.
USGS and USFS have elevated the Alert Level to 3 again, and have ordered the evacuation of the Johnston Ridge Observatory, which is ~5 miles from the caldera.
USGS officials indicate that since they have not found any gases that would indicate "old" magma on the move, that they believe that the new events of today indicate that *NEW* magma is on the move - hence the call for the evacuation of the Johnston Ridge Observatory.
Seismographs ("Webicorders" available at http://www.pnsn.org) have gone silent, which according to USGS scientists would indicate magma movement under the "Lava Dome"
For a live video feed from NWCN (Northwest Cable News), go to:
Richard - maybe you can help explain why the Webicorders on Mt. Rainier are now picking-up seismic activity? Is this possibly related to magma flow throughout the Cascade system?

"As for labeling the poster a Republican, there is such a thing as making an assumption based on evidence: wears military gear, reliance on the military to solve all their problems, concern about the RNC as a target. Sounds right wing to me."
Kerry wore military gear, but denigrated himself by supposedly getting rid of the medals he had one.
I didn't know that one of the requirements of serving in the US Armed Forces was to be a Republican.
Kerry also wanted to send troops to Iraq at one point, and has sworn to use military force again in similar situations.
Kerry is *very* concerned about the RNC.
Nice bit of deductive reasoning there!...as you were saying?
How about taking into account that the world population has not been steady-state or at the same level throughout "history"?
CO2 as part of the human respiratory/cardivascular system does indirectly come from ingested food (digestion, energy transfer in the form of oxygen & simple sugars to individual cells, mitochondrial energy conversion & respiration leading to CO2 production as a byproduct) but it does not always "ultimately" come from plant matter. That would imply a direct link between foodstuffs and cellular respiration - that food actually enters your bloodstream. CO2 is CO2, no matter where the source is.
As for CO2 being produced by the burning of fossil/carbon/hydrocarbon fuels, I believe you're actually thinking of CO - Carbon Monoxide. CO2 is used in the respiration/chlorophyl/photosynthesis cycle of plants and is not really considered a "pollutant", where CO is definitely a pollutant since it can not be easily assimilated into the biosphere. That's why you die when exposed to it when you park your car in the garage, leave the engine running and close all the windows - or when you use a space heater in an enclosed space without proper ventilation.
That would totally make sense, since most of the Republican leaders were at the White House and evacuated into the PEOC. Democrats were at the Capital, and evacuated later than the others probably due to the fact that they were caught in the mass evacuation of the Capitol and couldn't be immediately located.
Per the website you referred to:
==0936 AM > Two Secret Service agents literally pick up Vice-President Cheney by his arms and drag him into the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) bunker under the White House. Condoleezza Rice, Scooter Libby, Karen Hughes, and other administration officials also take refuge in the PEOC. They have difficulty participating in Richard Clarke's ongoing emergency video conference, since Cheney's wife keeps turning down the volume so she can listen to CNN. [911cm / nyt.Oct.16.2001 / wap.Jan.27.2002 / clarke]
==0945 AM > The White House is evacuated. The initially orderly evacuation dissolves into panic as Secret Service agents begin screaming at people to run. A White House guard is heard shouting "Incoming, incoming, get out of here!" "The fear on these guys' faces was unbelievable," said one onlooker. Soon, the only people left around the building are Cheney, Rice, and other officials who've withdrawn to the safety of the White House bomb shelter (the PEOC) and a small group with Richard Clarke in the unprotected Situation Room, who refuse to evacuate. Otherwise the White House is empty - even the internal guard posts are abandoned. Calls made to the White House switchboard connect to a recording asking callers to hold for an operator, after which the line goes dead. [wap.Sep.12.2001+Jan.27.2002 / nyt.Sep.12+Sep.17.2001 / clarke] =At about the same time, very shortly after the Pentagon crash, the House Sergeant-at-Arms orders the immediate evacuation of the Capitol Building. Some members of Congress huddle under trees in a park across from Senate office buildings. [csm.Sep.17.2001]
==1000 AM, approximately > Speaker of the House Hastert - second in line in presidential succession - is evacuated from Washington and flown to a fortified redoubt in Virginia. Evacuation of key federal personnel is generally haphazard. See midday [wap.Sep.13.2001]
==midday > Around this time, key legislators - including House Minority Leader Gephardt, House Majority DeLay, and Senate Majority Leader Daschle - are belatedly evacuated to an unidentified complex in Virginia. One evacuee described the atmosphere in the complex as something out of 'Dr. Strangelove.' [wap.Sep.13.2001]
Where in the parent post to your reply did the poster ever mention that he was a Republican? He was simply mentioning the Republican National Convention being held on August 30th because it's a big event and probably a prime target for terrorist.
Saw this ages ago - it was a 3D movie about some idiots looking for 4 gems that had "magical powers" (why is it that most movies that have one or more things in them that have "magical powers" suck? That should be a warning!).
The 3D was so poorly done that everyone in the theater was muttering about how their eyes hurt. Everything that could be bad about this movie was way beyond "bad".
98% of the time this is caused by stupid users who install any POS (and I don't mean Point-Of-Sale) software they get from the Internet or on a free CD, or have screwed-up their system so badly by mucking around in the registry to try to eek-out every last bit of performance from their Pentium 266 - including overclocking it so they can try to play the coolest 1st-person shooting game...and both deserve every bit of misery they experience for screwing-up their system.
And how is dear old Grandma going to know what to install and uninstall? I bet Grandma will have a fun time when she want's to install Disney's Magic Artist program for her grandkids to play on when they come visit her - WHOOOPS!!!
"Why won't this run on my PC?...I have Linux? I thought I had a PC?...Where's Microsoft Windows?...Wine? No, I don't drink...Oh, it's another program that will let me use Windows Programs?...How do I install it so it will play this nice Disney program for the kids??"
I'm totally amazed when people start to use the "Grandma" analogy to show how simple things are without including other details?
Guess what? Grandparents CAN READ MANUALS AND INSTALLATION GUIDES!!

I understood this perfectly - the question whas rhetorical. Maybe I should have used some indicator like (/rhetorical) in my statement so you could latch on to that.
So: OSDN is related to OSDL. Slashdot is related to OSDN. Hence, Slashdot is related to OSDL.
Therefore, Slashdot is nothing more than a propaganda avenue for Open Source projects. Why doesn't Mr. Malda change the cutesy tagline from "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters" to "Open Source Propaganda Dissemination Tool for Nerds. News that is biased towards all Open Source Projects"?
I mean, if we are wanting full disclosure (as has been said in other parts of this thread directed to me), why not be totally honest about the purpose of Slashdot?
Don't get me wrong - Open Source is a wonderful idea. I use Open Source software all the time (Firefox, LiteStep, etc), so I hold nothing against it. What I do disagree with is the incessant bleathing on/. about how Open Source is so much superior than "proprietary" software. If this held true, everyone would be switching from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice in droves and everyone would be running some variant of *nix or Linux instead of a Microsoft Operating System. Each has it's place. I'm sure that one day, Linux or it's posterity will be on as many PCs as Microsoft's offerings - but I'm not holding my breath.
