http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080512/ap_on_...hina_earthquake --------------------------------------------------------------------------- By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN, Associated Press Writer CHONGQING, China - One of the worst earthquakes in decades struck central China on Monday, killing nearly 9,000 people, trapping about 900 students under the rubble of their school and causing a toxic chemical leak, state media reported. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake devastated a hilly region of small cities and towns. The official Xinhua News Agency said 8,533 people died in Sichuan province and more than 200 others were killed in three other provinces and the mega-city of Chongqing. Xinhua said 80 percent of the buildings had collapsed in Sichuan province's Beichuan county after the quake, raising fears the overall death toll could increase sharply. State media said a chemical plant in Shifang city had cratered, burying hundreds of people and spilling more than 80 tons of toxic liquid ammonia from the site. The earthquake sent thousands of people rushing out of buildings and into the streets hundreds of miles away in Beijing and Shanghai. The temblor was felt as far away as Vietnam and Thailand. It posed a challenge to a government already grappling with discontent over high inflation and a widespread uprising among Tibetans in western China while trying to prepare for the Beijing Olympics this August. The quake hit about 60 miles northwest of Chengdu — a city of 3.75 million — in the middle of the afternoon when classrooms and office towers were full. There were several smaller aftershocks, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site. About 1,200 pandas — 80 percent of the surviving wild population in China — live in several mountainous areas of Sichuan. The earthquake hit one of the last homes of the giant panda at the Wolong Nature Reserve and panda breeding center, in Wenchuan county, which remained out of contact, Xinhua said. The Wolong PandaCam, a live online video feed showing the activities of the pandas at the nature reserve, stopped showing footage of the animals late Sunday night. The earthquake, China's deadliest since 1976, occurred in an area with numerous fault lines that have triggered destructive temblors before. A magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Diexi, Sichuan that hit on August 25, 1933 killed more than 9,300 people. Xinhua said 50 bodies had been pulled from the debris of the school building in Juyuan town but did not say if the children were alive. Students also were buried under five other toppled schools in Deyang city, Xinhua reported. Its reporters saw buried teenagers struggling to break loose from underneath the rubble of the three-story building in Juyuan "while others were crying out for help." Two girls were quoted by Xinhua as saying they escaped because they had "run faster than others." Photos showed heavy cranes trying to remove rubble from the ruined school. Other photos posted on the Internet and found on the Chinese search engine Baidu showed arms and a torso sticking out of the rubble of the school as dozens of people worked to free them, using their hands to move concrete slabs. Calls into the city did not go through as panicked residents quickly overloaded the telephone system and the quake also affected power networks. Although it was difficult to telephone Chengdu, an Israeli student, Ronen Medzini, sent a text message to The Associated Press saying there were power and water outages there. "Traffic jams, no running water, power outs, everyone sitting in the streets, patients evacuated from hospitals sitting outside and waiting," he said. The road to Wenchuan from Chendu was cut off by landslides, state media said, slowing the rescue efforts. Though news trickled out in the first hours after the quake, the government and its media quickly mobilized, with nearly 8,000 soldiers and police sent to the area. China Central Television ran non-stop coverage, with phone reports from reporters and a few isolated camera shots from the scene. Disasters always pose a test to the communist government, whose mandate in part rests on providing relief to those in need. In recent years, the government has improved emergency planning and rapid response training for the military. The earthquake also rattled buildings in Beijing, some 930 miles to the north, less than three months before the Chinese capital was expected to be full of hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors for the Summer Olympics. Li Jiulin, a top engineer on the 91,000-seat National Stadium — known as the Bird's Nest and the jewel of the Olympics — was conducting an inspection at the venue when the quake occurred. He told reporters the building was designed to withstand a 8.0 quake. "The Olympic venues were not affected by the earthquake," said Sun Weide, a spokesman for the Beijing organizing committee. Skyscrapers swayed in Shanghai and in the Taiwanese capital of Taipei, 100 miles off the southeastern Chinese coast. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The quake was felt as far away as the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, where some people hurried out of swaying office buildings and into the streets downtown. A building in the Thai capital of Bangkok also was evacuated after the quake was felt there. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake is considered a major event, capable of causing widespread damage and injuries in populated areas. The last serious earthquake in China was in 2003, when a 6.8-magnitude quake killed 268 people in Bachu county in the west of Xinjiang. China's deadliest earthquake in modern history struck the northeastern city of Tangshan on July 28, 1976, killing 240,000 people.

My deepest condolences, Jim. May God bless his soul.

Please note: Box is empty. SACDs sold separately. Dang, had my hopes up too.

That is strange. Oh, I see. It was in my brother's name that I had purchased CDs years ago from said retailer to take advantage of a coupon offer using different accounts. However, I had used my CC to pay for them. So if they shipped it to my brother at the address, perhaps they could've charged something to my CC account. Anyway, the matter is taken care of now.

O.K., issue resolved. Quite a long story, but let's just say the karma issue is taken care of too. Thanks guys.

The package is quite heavy and the P.O. is far off.

You wouldn't want to leave anything outside in my neighborhood. As for the other option, well, see 2 posts above.

That is strange, somehow you might have been double shipped and maybe even double charged. The shipper should take it back. It is a different recipient & other name & brand.

There is usually nobody in the house and I would have to either leave it on my front porch or take a day off work to hand it directly to the Postal Service guy. Karma or not, I'm not missing getting paid for a day over something that I didn't ask for. BTW, the retailer has me as the purchaser of record, so I guess I'll check my CC bill.

Yesterday, when I was away from home, my brother received a package delivered to our address that we didn't order. We weren't expecting a package and before he could ask what it was, the postman put the box in his hand and ran off. Turns out that somebody with the same name had ordered a set of home theater speakers & whoever was processing the orders redelivered to our address after they couldn't reach the recipient at his house. The eerie thing is I had ordered a similar type item from the same retailer last year. It is a fairly heavy item and I don't have time or the energy to take it on the bus with me. Do I keep it?

Did anybody attend Free Comic Book Day last weekend? The local shops around here gave away a ton of free stuff.

That's a shame. I've had nothing but great experiences with all the purchases I've made so far from the folks on this forum. Unbeatable prices and CDs usually in great condition.

You're not getting your hands on my Columbia Miles / Trane Mosaic, Johnny.

Thanks for all of the feedback, guys! I think I'll just find a good price on the "Passions..." box used and buy that. Don't really need any more duplicates of material no matter how cheap it is.

I wonder what the sound on "The Passions Of A Man" Rhino/Atlantic box is like. Much better?

How bad is the mastering on the 1990 US Atlantic issue CD? I am able to buy a copy for $2, but have heard horror stories about the sound & been told to avoid it at all costs, literally. It's that terrible?

$19.99 for that Art Pepper All-Stars set is a steal!! It's an excellent box set! The Pepper set is gone!

I see... well, at least they could've split the sides into tracks 1 & 2. Grrrrrr... I know I'm a stickler sometimes for proper order of presentation.

Just bought this from a fellow O-Board member. The liners list tracks 1-7 as being supported by a sextet featuring Milt Hinton & Osie Johnson while tracks 8-15 have the Mingus group of the time doing the musical backing and each track is an individual poem. Too bad the f____ CD has the entire suite as one f____ track. Does anybody know if Polygram ever corrected this huge oversight? I see that this OOP Verve reissue came out in 1990 and can imagine that it didn't exactly top the Billboard charts at the time, so they probably didn't bother.

PM sent on all three. Thanks.

I have the Mulatos CD.
