Mr. Austin travels with these experts, to identify unique individual whales who posses the personality and sense of curiosity to be agreeable subjects. Austin returns to the whales day after day to build a sense of familiarity which will eventually allow them to feel comfortable enough to approach him on their own terms. Swimming with whales is intrinsically very dangerous if for no other reason than their enormous size. A single accidental flick from a pectoral fin or fluke could pummel a human swimmer. A threatened whale or a mother protecting her calf can be particularly dangerous. While whales have the potential to be destructive, it is much more likely that a whale disturbed by a human swimmer will simply swim away. For this reason Austin works hard to build the trust of his subjects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whales, like humans, are intelligent mammals that live within social structures. As such, whales have a kind of etiquette based on behavioral cues. To get close enough to photograph the whales Mr. Austin has to abide by a different species code of conduct. For example, Austin does not use SCUBA while visiting the whales because the bubbles produced by the equipment can be construed as a threat display between whales. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although we can’t communicate with whales verbally, you can communicate intention. And I do this by being very slow and predictable when I move. And I remain motionless most of the time, and I want to communicate to them that I’m interested in them, but I’m also respectful, and I’m just going be very passive and patient. Most of the time, they ignore me or swim away, and there’s just that, those few exceptional moments in the season where they decide to come up to me and spend a few moments” \u003cbr>It's within these few rare moments that Bryant Austin is able to create his stunning photographs. In fact, his entire collection to date represents interactions with only 9 particularly curious individual whales. As top predators, whales generally tend to demonstrate curiosity in exploring their environment. Some species like humpback whales tend to be more curious than other species, but even within a species individual whales will show different personality traits. Through his non-profit organization \u003ca href=\"http://mmcta.org/\">Marine Mammal Conservation Through the Arts\u003c/a>, Mr. Austin works for months for the brief seconds and minutes when the whales come to inspect him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/1k-Bryant-Austin-Minke-Whale-Composite-One-at-the-Tamada-Museum-Tokyo-450x253.jpg\" alt=\"A visitor at Tokyo's Tamada Museum views Bryant Austin's life-sized print of a Minke Whale\" title=\"1k Bryant Austin Minke Whale Composite One at the Tamada Museum Tokyo\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23481\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The camera I’m holding in a way is like the world’s eye, humanity’s eye, so we can make whales visible and hopefully change our perception and behavior towards them.

Swimming alongside these giants is an experience less than one millionth of 1% of the human population will experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23480\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/DominicaBryantAustin8April2011_MG_5927-Image-from-Sylvia-Earl-1440x928.jpg\" alt=\"A whale swims away from Bryant Austin\" width=\"640\" height=\"412\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/DominicaBryantAustin8April2011_MG_5927-Image-from-Sylvia-Earl-1440x928.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/DominicaBryantAustin8April2011_MG_5927-Image-from-Sylvia-Earl-400x258.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/DominicaBryantAustin8April2011_MG_5927-Image-from-Sylvia-Earl-800x515.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/DominicaBryantAustin8April2011_MG_5927-Image-from-Sylvia-Earl-1180x760.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/DominicaBryantAustin8April2011_MG_5927-Image-from-Sylvia-Earl-960x618.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A whale swims away from Bryant Austin as he snorkels. \u003ccite>(Bryant Austin)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before he takes the plunge, Mr. Austin spends months preparing to film in the wild by working with whale biologists who study specific populations of whales. Mr. Austin travels with these experts, to identify unique individual whales who posses the personality and sense of curiosity to be agreeable subjects. Austin returns to the whales day after day to build a sense of familiarity which will eventually allow them to feel comfortable enough to approach him on their own terms. Swimming with whales is intrinsically very dangerous if for no other reason than their enormous size. A single accidental flick from a pectoral fin or fluke could pummel a human swimmer. A threatened whale or a mother protecting her calf can be particularly dangerous. While whales have the potential to be destructive, it is much more likely that a whale disturbed by a human swimmer will simply swim away. For this reason Austin works hard to build the trust of his subjects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whales, like humans, are intelligent mammals that live within social structures. As such, whales have a kind of etiquette based on behavioral cues. To get close enough to photograph the whales Mr. Austin has to abide by a different species code of conduct. For example, Austin does not use SCUBA while visiting the whales because the bubbles produced by the equipment can be construed as a threat display between whales. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although we can’t communicate with whales verbally, you can communicate intention. And I do this by being very slow and predictable when I move. And I remain motionless most of the time, and I want to communicate to them that I’m interested in them, but I’m also respectful, and I’m just going be very passive and patient. Most of the time, they ignore me or swim away, and there’s just that, those few exceptional moments in the season where they decide to come up to me and spend a few moments” \u003cbr>It's within these few rare moments that Bryant Austin is able to create his stunning photographs. In fact, his entire collection to date represents interactions with only 9 particularly curious individual whales. As top predators, whales generally tend to demonstrate curiosity in exploring their environment. Some species like humpback whales tend to be more curious than other species, but even within a species individual whales will show different personality traits. Through his non-profit organization \u003ca href=\"http://mmcta.org/\">Marine Mammal Conservation Through the Arts\u003c/a>, Mr. Austin works for months for the brief seconds and minutes when the whales come to inspect him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/09/1k-Bryant-Austin-Minke-Whale-Composite-One-at-the-Tamada-Museum-Tokyo-450x253.jpg\" alt=\"A visitor at Tokyo's Tamada Museum views Bryant Austin's life-sized print of a Minke Whale\" title=\"1k Bryant Austin Minke Whale Composite One at the Tamada Museum Tokyo\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-23481\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Its a meet and greet of the literary sort where we all introduce our favorite book, talk and then swap. At the end of each Bookswap, the Booksmith staff brings out advanced copies of books for guests to peruse. One cover caught my attention the last time I went – \u003cem>Transcendence\u003c/em> by \u003ca href=\"http://normanrosenthal.com/\">Norman E. Rosenthal. M.D.\u003c/a> – a book highlighting Transcendental Meditation from a medical viewpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Rosenthal is a reputable doctor with a twenty-year tenure at the National Institute of Mental Health; he also pioneered the study of seasonal affect disorder (SAD) and wrote about the study in his former book \u003cem>Winter Blues\u003c/em>. He now a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical School and also a seasoned meditator. In this book, he elucidates the practice of transcendental meditation -TM and highlights how it can greatly reduce symptoms of stress, depression, ADHD, impulsiveness, addiction, anxiety, and post traumatic syndrome. He draws from personal accounts spanning environments and conditions, as well as articles detailing clinical research from over 340 peer-reviewed trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transcendental Meditation has been the most studied form of meditation. It’s a non-religious meditation consisting of sitting comfortably for twenty minutes with your eyes closed, twice a day while focusing the mind’s eye on a mantra or nonverbal sound to attain a deep state of attentive relaxation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that brain waves achieve coherence during meditation; “which is an area of growing interest among neuroscientists. All the different parts of the brain generate waves in several frequencies. These brain waves are said to be coherent when waves of a given frequency from different parts of the brain are in step with one another…It correlates with high levels of intelligence and competence…To produce a train of thought or execute an action, all the cells have to function as a unit, just as soldiers in battle need to advance in a coordinated way” (Rosenthal, pgs. 21-22).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, TM emanates a deep sense of relaxation that given practice permeates the rest of the day. In our stressful and packed world, it is a vacation from stress twice a day when noise and stress can drift away. Rosenthal explains in \u003cem>Transcendence\u003c/em> that in today’s world we are living more often in the “sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which governs (among other things) an alarm function, the ‘fight-or-flight response’ … the parasympathetic system…relaxes you” (Rosenthal pg 57). This means that anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease and other maladies have their touchstone in an overrun SNS that create hormones, while in the short term get the body out of harm’s way, in the long run damage the body. Meditation, gets people out of this stressful situation by deep relaxation as both systems cannot be triggered at the same time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While reading this book, I decided to do my own experiment and start this form of mediation. For the past couple of weeks, I have been meditating twice a day for 10 to 15 minutes, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and often struggle with anxiety and distraction. I have weaned off medication for ADD but I still rely heavily on both exercise and Yerba Mate tea to help me focus at work. I have been so much more focused, relaxed and happy these last two weeks. I noticed that instead of responding to a situation with anxiety, I could just make a choice and follow through with little disruption. Even in two weeks, I have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of my life and a reduced stress load. I plan on continuing the practice as I see very little to no side effects and a much better quality of life which was also the clear message I got from reading \u003ca href=\"http://\">\u003cem>Transcendence\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Its a meet and greet of the literary sort where we all introduce our favorite book, talk and then swap. At the end of each Bookswap, the Booksmith staff brings out advanced copies of books for guests to peruse. One cover caught my attention the last time I went – \u003cem>Transcendence\u003c/em> by \u003ca href=\"http://normanrosenthal.com/\">Norman E. Rosenthal. M.D.\u003c/a> – a book highlighting Transcendental Meditation from a medical viewpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Rosenthal is a reputable doctor with a twenty-year tenure at the National Institute of Mental Health; he also pioneered the study of seasonal affect disorder (SAD) and wrote about the study in his former book \u003cem>Winter Blues\u003c/em>. He now a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical School and also a seasoned meditator. In this book, he elucidates the practice of transcendental meditation -TM and highlights how it can greatly reduce symptoms of stress, depression, ADHD, impulsiveness, addiction, anxiety, and post traumatic syndrome. He draws from personal accounts spanning environments and conditions, as well as articles detailing clinical research from over 340 peer-reviewed trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transcendental Meditation has been the most studied form of meditation. It’s a non-religious meditation consisting of sitting comfortably for twenty minutes with your eyes closed, twice a day while focusing the mind’s eye on a mantra or nonverbal sound to attain a deep state of attentive relaxation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that brain waves achieve coherence during meditation; “which is an area of growing interest among neuroscientists. All the different parts of the brain generate waves in several frequencies. These brain waves are said to be coherent when waves of a given frequency from different parts of the brain are in step with one another…It correlates with high levels of intelligence and competence…To produce a train of thought or execute an action, all the cells have to function as a unit, just as soldiers in battle need to advance in a coordinated way” (Rosenthal, pgs. 21-22).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, TM emanates a deep sense of relaxation that given practice permeates the rest of the day. In our stressful and packed world, it is a vacation from stress twice a day when noise and stress can drift away. Rosenthal explains in \u003cem>Transcendence\u003c/em> that in today’s world we are living more often in the “sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which governs (among other things) an alarm function, the ‘fight-or-flight response’ … the parasympathetic system…relaxes you” (Rosenthal pg 57). This means that anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease and other maladies have their touchstone in an overrun SNS that create hormones, while in the short term get the body out of harm’s way, in the long run damage the body. Meditation, gets people out of this stressful situation by deep relaxation as both systems cannot be triggered at the same time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For the past couple of weeks, I have been meditating twice a day for 10 to 15 minutes, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and often struggle with anxiety and distraction. I have weaned off medication for ADD but I still rely heavily on both exercise and Yerba Mate tea to help me focus at work. I have been so much more focused, relaxed and happy these last two weeks. I noticed that instead of responding to a situation with anxiety, I could just make a choice and follow through with little disruption. Even in two weeks, I have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of my life and a reduced stress load. I plan on continuing the practice as I see very little to no side effects and a much better quality of life which was also the clear message I got from reading \u003ca href=\"http://\">\u003cem>Transcendence\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Tammy's husband, Mike, was watching Monday Night Football. Their daughter Amanda was doing her homework on the couch. When Tammy heard the roar, she looked outside her kitchen window. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No matter how high you looked,\" she says, \"all you saw was fire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>You'll find our series of first-hand accounts, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/08/29/san-bruno-stories-i-didnt-want-to-die-but-then-i-go-whatever-i-didnt-want-my-kids-to-die/\">\"San Bruno Stories\"\u003c/a> on the KQED News Blog.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the pressure of the blast was so powerful, it sucked the air out of her living room. They couldn't move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It felt, she says, \"like when you’re in a dream, and you’re trying to run as fast as you can but you’re getting nowhere. Like you’re in quicksand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks away, on Claremont Drive, Kevin Ashley had just finished giving his two young children dinner. Like a lot of people, he thought there had been a plane crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His first thought was to put the kids into the car. But then he realized the fire was already too close. \"I made a split-second decision. I took the kids and I ran, because if not, we were going to be trapped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year later, it's still painful for him to talk about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn’t want my kids to die,\" he recalls, choking back tears. \"I didn’t want them to be burned. And then I decided, it’s not going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family has moved to South San Francisco. Ashley's two kids, like many others in the neighborhood, are in therapy. Kevin's wife, Michele, says moving back to San Bruno was out of the question. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not a home if you don’t feel safe,\" she says. \"And on that night, it almost killed us. So that was the reason we decided to start over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The pipes beneath our streets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Bruno explosion put a spotlight on something most people rarely think about: the\u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/edusafety/systemworks/gas/transmissionpipelines/\"> vast network of underground pipes\u003c/a> that delivers natural gas to millions of homes across the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main transmission lines in the Bay Area, Line 132, ran under the Crestmoor neighborhood of San Bruno. It was installed by Pacific Gas & Electric in 1956, which makes it an old pipe, but not the oldest in the PG&E system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The part that ruptured was made up of several different sections, including six short pieces called \"pups.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://chms.engineering.ucdavis.edu/faculty/howitt.html\">David Howitt,\u003c/a> a chemical engineer at the University of California, Davis, who studies the behavior of metals, the particular pup that ruptured along a welded seam just wasn't made very well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The way that pipe was made was you bend it into shape, rather like you’d fold over a piece of paper,\" he explains. \"And then the two edges of the paper, or pipe, have to be stuck together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that gap was filled in with welding material, whoever welded it didn’t use enough metal, NTSB investigators found. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what you essentially had was a region of the pipe that was much thinner than it should have been. And that’s where it failed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the explosion, federal and state investigators descended on the area. They found that the section of pipe that blew up had more than 150 welding defects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which begs an important question: Where else might similar, shoddy pipes exist? What other sections of pipe were made by this same pipe-maker, or crew?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This information is critical. Because without knowing how strong a pipe is, there's no way of knowing how much pressure it can withstand. Or, how long it might last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators hoped to find these answers in PG&E's archives. But according to the utility, those records have been lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard Kuprewicz is an independent pipeline expert in Redmond, Washington, who has studied pipe ruptures for 40 years. He says it's to be expected that a utility might not be able to produce every record for every pipeline. But for a pipeline such as Line 132, one that carries gas at high pressures, record keeping is a form of due diligence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is extremely unusual to not have certain records related to your pipeline, even pipeline that’s 50, 60, or 70 years old,\" says Kuprewicz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E says it has made \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/about/newsroom/newsreleases/20101012/pge_announces_pipeline_2020_program_for_enhancing_natural_gas_pipeline_safety_and_reliability.shtml\">important changes\u003c/a>. It has \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/08/09/incoming-pge-ceo-to-be-one-of-highest-paid-in-country/\">hired a new CEO\u003c/a>, and has reorganized its gas division. It has hired dozens of new gas engineers, and agreed to run expensive \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/edusafety/systemworks/gas/pipelinesafety/hydrostatictesting/index.shtml\">water pressure tests\u003c/a> on up to 152 miles of buried pipelines in the Bay Area this year, to make sure that they're safe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many questions remain. For instance, what final straw caused that pipe to finally burst? Was it \u003ca href=\"http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-01-09/news/27018626_1_san-bruno-line-pg-e-pacific-gas\">changes to the gas pressure\u003c/a> over the past 50 years? Was it \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_18244524\">a job the city approved in 2008\u003c/a> to replace a sewer pipe right next to the part of the gas line that exploded? Or something else? And what lessons can we take from it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"We want the truth.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson and many others here, tomorrow's \u003ca href=\"http://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/2010/sanbruno_ca.html\">report from the NTSB \u003c/a>will be momentous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"First and foremost we want the truth,\" says Jackson. \"What happened? Why did it happen? And more importantly, what will regulators do in order to assure that this never happens again?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year, state and federal lawmakers have introduced legislation aiming to reduce the likelihood of another San Bruno explosion. State Assemblymember Jerry Hill's AB 56, which is currently making its way through the state legislature, would strengthen pipeline safety rules and force utilities and regulators to be more accountable. The \u003ca href=\"http://feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=de31f387-5056-8059-76af-90946f726452\">federal bills,\u003c/a> introduced by Congresswoman Jackie Spieier, from San Mateo, and Senator Diane Feinstein, among others, would increase inspections, and notify people who live above gas lines. They also would require that PG&E install automatic shut-off valves, so that fires could be put out much faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in Crestmoor, the gas line has been decommissioned, for good.

Like you’re in quicksand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks away, on Claremont Drive, Kevin Ashley had just finished giving his two young children dinner. Like a lot of people, he thought there had been a plane crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His first thought was to put the kids into the car. But then he realized the fire was already too close. \"I made a split-second decision. I took the kids and I ran, because if not, we were going to be trapped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year later, it's still painful for him to talk about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn’t want my kids to die,\" he recalls, choking back tears. \"I didn’t want them to be burned. And then I decided, it’s not going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family has moved to South San Francisco. Ashley's two kids, like many others in the neighborhood, are in therapy. Kevin's wife, Michele, says moving back to San Bruno was out of the question. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not a home if you don’t feel safe,\" she says. \"And on that night, it almost killed us. So that was the reason we decided to start over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The pipes beneath our streets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Bruno explosion put a spotlight on something most people rarely think about: the\u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/edusafety/systemworks/gas/transmissionpipelines/\"> vast network of underground pipes\u003c/a> that delivers natural gas to millions of homes across the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main transmission lines in the Bay Area, Line 132, ran under the Crestmoor neighborhood of San Bruno. It was installed by Pacific Gas & Electric in 1956, which makes it an old pipe, but not the oldest in the PG&E system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The part that ruptured was made up of several different sections, including six short pieces called \"pups.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://chms.engineering.ucdavis.edu/faculty/howitt.html\">David Howitt,\u003c/a> a chemical engineer at the University of California, Davis, who studies the behavior of metals, the particular pup that ruptured along a welded seam just wasn't made very well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The way that pipe was made was you bend it into shape, rather like you’d fold over a piece of paper,\" he explains. \"And then the two edges of the paper, or pipe, have to be stuck together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that gap was filled in with welding material, whoever welded it didn’t use enough metal, NTSB investigators found. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what you essentially had was a region of the pipe that was much thinner than it should have been. And that’s where it failed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the explosion, federal and state investigators descended on the area. They found that the section of pipe that blew up had more than 150 welding defects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which begs an important question: Where else might similar, shoddy pipes exist? What other sections of pipe were made by this same pipe-maker, or crew?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This information is critical. Because without knowing how strong a pipe is, there's no way of knowing how much pressure it can withstand. Or, how long it might last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators hoped to find these answers in PG&E's archives. But according to the utility, those records have been lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard Kuprewicz is an independent pipeline expert in Redmond, Washington, who has studied pipe ruptures for 40 years. He says it's to be expected that a utility might not be able to produce every record for every pipeline. But for a pipeline such as Line 132, one that carries gas at high pressures, record keeping is a form of due diligence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is extremely unusual to not have certain records related to your pipeline, even pipeline that’s 50, 60, or 70 years old,\" says Kuprewicz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E says it has made \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/about/newsroom/newsreleases/20101012/pge_announces_pipeline_2020_program_for_enhancing_natural_gas_pipeline_safety_and_reliability.shtml\">important changes\u003c/a>. It has \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/08/09/incoming-pge-ceo-to-be-one-of-highest-paid-in-country/\">hired a new CEO\u003c/a>, and has reorganized its gas division. It has hired dozens of new gas engineers, and agreed to run expensive \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/edusafety/systemworks/gas/pipelinesafety/hydrostatictesting/index.shtml\">water pressure tests\u003c/a> on up to 152 miles of buried pipelines in the Bay Area this year, to make sure that they're safe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many questions remain. For instance, what final straw caused that pipe to finally burst? Was it \u003ca href=\"http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-01-09/news/27018626_1_san-bruno-line-pg-e-pacific-gas\">changes to the gas pressure\u003c/a> over the past 50 years? Was it \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_18244524\">a job the city approved in 2008\u003c/a> to replace a sewer pipe right next to the part of the gas line that exploded? Or something else? And what lessons can we take from it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"We want the truth.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson and many others here, tomorrow's \u003ca href=\"http://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/2010/sanbruno_ca.html\">report from the NTSB \u003c/a>will be momentous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"First and foremost we want the truth,\" says Jackson. \"What happened? Why did it happen? And more importantly, what will regulators do in order to assure that this never happens again?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year, state and federal lawmakers have introduced legislation aiming to reduce the likelihood of another San Bruno explosion. State Assemblymember Jerry Hill's AB 56, which is currently making its way through the state legislature, would strengthen pipeline safety rules and force utilities and regulators to be more accountable. The \u003ca href=\"http://feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=de31f387-5056-8059-76af-90946f726452\">federal bills,\u003c/a> introduced by Congresswoman Jackie Spieier, from San Mateo, and Senator Diane Feinstein, among others, would increase inspections, and notify people who live above gas lines. They also would require that PG&E install automatic shut-off valves, so that fires could be put out much faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in Crestmoor, the gas line has been decommissioned, for good. The sound of hammers breaks the morning silence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill and Betty Magoolaghan are one of the first families to rebuild here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23315\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/Second-blog-photo-san-bruno.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/Second-blog-photo-san-bruno-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Second blog photo san bruno\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-23315\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bill Magoolaghan. \u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like other families, the Magoolaghans \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/about/newsroom/mediaevents/fund-announcement/\">received money from PG&E\u003c/a> to help pay for temporary housing and other expenses.

Photo courtesy of Becca Ryals.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What if we could pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it underground? Well, plants do this every day—through photosynthesis. Plants take CO2 from the air and incorporate it into their tissues. When their leaves drop to the ground, or bits of their roots slough off, or they die and decompose, the carbon from the plants’ tissues goes into the soil. Researchers from UC Berkeley are working with cattle ranchers in Marin County to figure out how to increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil. I spoke to Berkeley grad student \u003ca href=\"http://nature.berkeley.edu/silverlab/?p=110\">Becca Ryals\u003c/a> to learn more about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.marincarbonproject.org/\">Marin Carbon Project\u003c/a>.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becca and other students in her advisor \u003ca href=\"http://cnr.berkeley.edu/silverlab/\">Whendee Silver’s lab\u003c/a>, in the \u003ca href=\"http://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/\">Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management\u003c/a> at Berkeley, had been studying the effects of climate change on the carbon in soil. They were taking soil samples from California’s rangelands to see how much carbon is stored—or sequestered—in the soil, and why carbon storage varies so much from place to place. The cattle ranchers, on whose land the researchers were working, wanted to know how their land management practices could increase carbon sequestration in their soils. The ranchers’ questions were the catalyst for the next step in Becca and her colleagues’ research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They did an experiment to see whether adding compost affects the amount of carbon stored in the soil. They set up a study in 2008 in two places—Nicasio Ranch, in Marin county, and the \u003ca href=\"http://ucanr.org/sites/sfrec/\">Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center\u003c/a> in the Sierra Valley. At each site, in some areas they added a half-inch thick layer of commercially available compost, made from yard waste and food scraps, to the soil. In other areas, they left the soil alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23342\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-23342\" title=\"tractor2\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2-400x181.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compost is added to the soil at a cattle ranch, part of the Marin Carbon Project.

The compost had fertilized the grass and increased its growth. The ranchers were happy to see the increase in grass production—there was more forage for their cattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23343\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/MarinCarbonExperimentalPlots.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-23343\" title=\"MarinCarbonExperimentalPlots\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/MarinCarbonExperimentalPlots.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/MarinCarbonExperimentalPlots.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/MarinCarbonExperimentalPlots-400x303.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The boxed areas were treated with a ½ inch layer of compost; the grass there grew thicker for 3 years after the compost was added.

When they went back the next year, the grass production was still up 50-70%. They went back three years after the compost was added, and they could still see its effects—grass production was still up by 50-70%. The compost acted as a slow-release fertilizer. They’re continuing to monitor the plots: for how long will the compost added in 2008 continue to benefit the grass, the soil, and the ranchers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becca and her colleagues took multiple soil samples from the different plots, and found that in the compost-treated plots the amount of carbon in the soil had increased by about 20%. This is a huge increase in the world of soil carbon. Some of this carbon comes directly from the compost, and some is there because of the increase in grass production—grass dies and the carbon from its tissues enters the soil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://nature.berkeley.edu/silverlab/?p=635\">Marcia DeLonge\u003c/a>, a post-doc in Becca’s lab, is looking at whether the type of compost matters. She’s comparing the effects of yard waste/food scrap compost and compost made from cow manure—which is readily available at her field sites, three dairies in Marin County. Their work has become well known to local ranchers, and they received offers from so many ranchers to do the study on their land that they had difficulty choosing their field sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Marin Carbon Project is starting to talk with ranchers and local agencies about a \u003ca href=\"http://www.marincarbonproject.org/programs.php\">carbon market\u003c/a>—using the researchers’ findings, they can monitor the amount of carbon in the soil, and ranchers can be rewarded for the carbon sequestered on their property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becca, Whendee, and her lab-mates share their research findings with ranchers through presentations at public venues. The ranchers ask them questions, and the researchers figure out how they can answer them, by designing new studies and asking more questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becca enjoys the science: “There are interesting, challenging questions,” she says. But “I really like working with the ranchers and seeing the research findings applied to everyday land management decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her work also gives her an appreciation for local food. “When I see Point Reyes Blue Cheese,” Becca says, “I know that rancher. I saw those soils.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The ranchers’ questions were the catalyst for the next step in Becca and her colleagues’ research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They did an experiment to see whether adding compost affects the amount of carbon stored in the soil. They set up a study in 2008 in two places—Nicasio Ranch, in Marin county, and the \u003ca href=\"http://ucanr.org/sites/sfrec/\">Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center\u003c/a> in the Sierra Valley. At each site, in some areas they added a half-inch thick layer of commercially available compost, made from yard waste and food scraps, to the soil. In other areas, they left the soil alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23342\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-23342\" title=\"tractor2\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2011/08/tractor2-400x181.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compost is added to the soil at a cattle ranch, part of the Marin Carbon Project.

When they went back the next year, the grass production was still up 50-70%. They went back three years after the compost was added, and they could still see its effects—grass production was still up by 50-70%. The compost acted as a slow-release fertilizer.

This is a huge increase in the world of soil carbon.

She’s comparing the effects of yard waste/food scrap compost and compost made from cow manure—which is readily available at her field sites, three dairies in Marin County. Their work has become well known to local ranchers, and they received offers from so many ranchers to do the study on their land that they had difficulty choosing their field sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Marin Carbon Project is starting to talk with ranchers and local agencies about a \u003ca href=\"http://www.marincarbonproject.org/programs.php\">carbon market\u003c/a>—using the researchers’ findings, they can monitor the amount of carbon in the soil, and ranchers can be rewarded for the carbon sequestered on their property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becca, Whendee, and her lab-mates share their research findings with ranchers through presentations at public venues. The ranchers ask them questions, and the researchers figure out how they can answer them, by designing new studies and asking more questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becca enjoys the science: “There are interesting, challenging questions,” she says.
