There are tons and tons of knowledge, as how to properly balance, paying the respects and upholding the dignity, when an event occurs, such as the death of an ambassador, while fire rages in our own borders.
Discussing very straightforwardly the death of Ambassador Stevens, and, there are wildfires in the State of Washington, which according to news sources is about 170 square miles.
The fire is not 1700 square miles. 100 square miles is roughly 10 miles wide and ten miles long; in a rural area, a fire 15 miles wide and the same long, --rarely is a fire a perfect square--, is it enough of a priority to take the focus precedence over an ambassador?
No.
However, it is important that we, the United States, keep focus on the battles against fires in our borders, even though, fires might have raged for a 100 feet give or take, for a moment in time, sparking media attention. There is a line between ensuring that the standards of dignity about an ambassador and other Americans is met, and allowing someone else to inundate our televisions, newspapers, computer screens, and media, to the point that we cannot even see any longer what else is going on that are also important.
Knowledge about priorities of dignity can be used to manipulate, there again, there are knowledges far, wide, deep, high above, and many more dimensions, which achieve the goals that the proper balance is struck, so that we do not lose track of events, such as the wildfires in Washington State, which it is not wise to let any fire go uncontrolled.

Wild Bears and Wild Fires. Wild Bear Warnings, As Wildfires Fought and Evacuations. Northern California Focus. What Happens Next? Answers Got At in This Blog Post
Polar bears, which can travel nearly impossible distances, through the water, and land, and climb vertical heights as if they had a rope pulling them, might be coming from the west. This means the coast of upper northwestern part of California.
Brown or black bears might be coming down from the areas just north of the northernmost state line of California. Them travelling southward into California.
Then, logically in between, there are bears that are mixed breeds of brown bear and polar bears, that might be coming from the areas, likewise, in between, where the polar bears and brown bears would be coming from.
This is just an opinion, and not an in-depth study of bear behavior in California, however, earlier articles from ETIS, and many sources, have examined bears behavior enough in the last 5 years, that it is safe to say, that exercising acting prudent, when it comes to bears, especially in the aftermath of the fires that are burning in California right now, which there are somewhere between 9 and 15, roughly, wouldn't hurt.
It might be wise to hold to consider, that, the kind of bear activities described here, is not out of the question.
The process, in theory goes something like this:
Nature has its order of events.
Fires took place, which resulted in people moving out, on a practical level, they evacuated; houses were destroyed.
In the interim before returning to their houses, if they return at all, or return to rebuild, bears of different gradations make their presence.
A danger is, since there has been a fire, there might also be the disruption of tracking all these animals. If any just 'popped up out of the water' and ran inland, that have never been tracked before, there could be the possibility of large bears, in those residential areas.
Further haunts are, the bears are not seen or heard from, and are virtually hidden from the human population, for lengths of time, then, suddenly they make their presence known, hopefully, it is not a disastrous one.
Once humans leave an area, this is a new 'playground' and 'feeding ground' for some of these wilder animals.
Summing up, once the fires have ended, and the aftermath is upon us, be on your guard as to the possibilities of bears and other animals making their mark.

Wildfires, Went from Colorado to California :Amount of Fires Per Unit Area; Summer 2012
Based on the statistics of active wildfires as of today, it looks like the summer trend, at least for 2012, is the big attention getting wildfires went from being concentrated in Colorado, and now, there are 12 wildfires of record burning right now in California. There are more wildfires, according to statistics provided By NIFC, in California than any other state.
The next leading states are:
Idaho with 9 fires,
Montana, and Oregon, with 5 fires a piece.
Colorado does not even show up on the statistics chart.
Alaska, it seems, has 4 fires burning, based on other sources.
The situation in Alaska and C is not nearly as bad as it was a couple of months ago.
Just because the wildfire statistics give a number of fires, with locations or names, does not mean that there are absolutely no fires any where else. Smaller fires might burn, but not large enough to be immediately be determined to be of the magnitude, danger level to be put into the statistics.
Quick history of severe weather situations this summer of 2012, an angle:
Colorado fires hit, then increase in severity and size; meanwhile, nearly 30% of the land mass of Alaska was also undergoing fires, some of them tundra fires; news stories on the east coast, right around when the High Park Colorado started to peak and die-off, especially Mid Atlantic region, was taken over by flooding and hurricane-like storms. After the media attention on these let-up, news on fires in Colorado seemed a bit different. There were other fires that took place, however, were not given the same amount of media attention. Now, most fires, in terms of a number, are in California, only a few are in Alaska; further west of the Midwest, to sum it up without going into particulars of where the Midwest starts and ends, is the trend of the location of most of the fires on the continental U.S. case in point, Idaho has 9 fires.

Dangerous Fires in Cle Elum, Washington State Important: Take All Fires Seriously. THE LINK TO THE LIVE WEBCAST OF U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING ON COLORADO FIRES TODAY AT 12
LIVE WEBCAST OF HEARING:
Click the Link: http://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2012/8/full-committee-field-hearing
Based on the photographs released today, the nature of the constituency of the grassland fires are somewhat different than the fires that blazed through Colorado earlier this summer, like the High Park Fire.
It is very important to understand, no matter how peaceful or calm a fire may appear, especially compared to another one, a fire is still a fire, a fire is dangerous. Fires can be deceptive. The fires in Cle Elum testify to that fact.
When you look at the pictures provided here, some could reach the conclusion that the fire is only a few feet tall, and feeding off of low lying grass, there are barely any trees around, so we don't have to worry about a huge forest fire breaking loose that towers hundreds of feet into the sky.
That is the wrong conclusion.
The facts are, the fire right now in Cle Elum, about 75 miles east of Seattle Washington, is associated with, has destroyed 70 houses.
Atmospheric/climatic conditions:
"CLE ELUM, Wash. — The extreme fire conditions across the West came to bear in a rural part of Washington state when three separate blazes were sparked in just 90 minutes."

Very important: What the men in the photographs above are doing, DO NOT DO, unless you have a high degree of training in fighting fires. They have no protective gear on. DO NOT DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING in fighting fires up close with no fire protective clothing, save extreme circumstances, AT ALL, upon blazes like the High park Fire in Colorado, and even some city fires, such what has taken place in Washington DC apartment complexes, and in New York, reference high-rises and residential buildings, even in the last 2 decades. These city, urban area fires were only, or lasted about a day, howbeit, this was long enough for the heat to become intense enough to start melting the fire trucks. EVEN IF THE FIRE IS NOT PHYSICALLY TOUCHING YOU, CLOSE ENOUGH TO IT, YOU CAN STILL ENDANGER, HARM, OR INJURE YOURSELF.
Even most highly trained firefighters with years of experience have the emergency pod they can activate, that is constructed of fire resistant material, when fighting raging wildfires.

Lightning. Keys and Knowledge Respective to Wildfires
Understanding lightning, at the hard fact truth knowledge level:
We will attempt through this article to begin to provide some tools which may be helpful toward mitigation of the wildfires that have plagued the western half of the United States and the interior of Alaska so far this summer.
The way to go about this is not going to be a 5 paragraph essay that is in tune with basic grammar rules; stating this at the beginning, because we are going to toss these rules out for the purpose here.
Up, as in the knowledge is thrown upward, forth, more than one point of knowledge is presented at the same time, and that is first, a first, as this is written. There may be other knowledges which should or might be first. This blog article is a work in progress.
Basically, there are a more than a few points which would be beneficial to understand all at the same time, like tables to a table leg, you need all of them for the table to stand up correctly, in context.
One of these principles or knowledge truths, is, there is a word in Arabic called BURQ. BURQ is something which we as in people are being allowed to see; we are given eyes, given sight, then we are shown something the Arab call BURQ, a word around for at least 1000 years.
Better and more clearly put, the sight of BURQ is instilled in us.
This word BURQ, is often translated as lightning.
You must understand and hold firmly to: BURQ is BURQ.
Now, BURQ is also found in at least one instance near another Arabic word SANA.
SANA, is often translated as Flash, as in the flash of lightning.
Key: BURQ is BURQ, SANA is SANA.
In brackets is BURQ spelled with any other letters than what it is spelled with, and the same for SANA?
Key: Do not try to take BURQ beyond or below what it is.
When you arrive at discharges of charges in clouds and differing charges, and that is the reason for lightning, what can be said is, all the science rules, and what really happens is indeed a created phenomenon; what is important is not to limit yourself to lightning being caused solely by the scientific principles found on articles which try to explain the different types of lightning.
The pathology and the molecular build-up to all of the objects in the skies, such as clouds, rain, ice, snow, sleet, and so on, science books will attempt to piece together, in a piece-by-piece, molecule-to molecule, and process-to-process, method, until there is a build-up of something called, clouds, rain, and so forth.
What it all comes down to, is, the object is created. For example, clouds, clouds are created, regardless of science books trying to present a hundred or so processes to present as the reason for their being and development. The same is true for BURQ.
The way it works when it all comes down to it, is: BURQ is created and appears. What is meant here, on a practical moment, f you are standing in a plain, suddenly, the BURQ is seen.
It may be that when you see BURQ, it may be accompanied with being startled or even feared.
Key: The notion that, there is a streak of lighting in the sky, that looks like a crippled line of light, which has an end to it, and that end makes contact to something like some dried out leaves, and ignite, a wildfire gets started, is not the process that you want to hold in your mind as the only way wildfires get started. According to studies that are provided in science texts, it also is not the only type of lightning.
There are bolts, which are a phenomena, which we may see, that strike, areas of the earth.
Compressing every type of bolt that looks lighter than its surrounding, to one equivocation of lightning, then, use scientific explanations for lightning to explain it all, might limit understanding, and therefore mitigation.
What was witnessed on the east coast Mid-Atlantic region in the past recent 2 or 3 weeks, that resulted in downed trees and power outages? The images that you find on the websites listed below, do not include some of them.
It might be a thing recommended to keep an open mind about the vast possibilities of the shapes and forms of what is commonly pointed out at as lightning here in the United States.
Here are some commonly described forms:

128 Cases of Child Abuse in 3 Months this Year in Utah; 42% of them Affecting Children Under Age 5. Now Wildfires. Wonder what the Connection is? Imperfections in Alaska Brought up too.
Intuitively, we, as in right-minded people, know and knew that this was going on. Wildfires raging uncontrolled and almost crazy. Is it a sign that something else is going on not too far way from where the fires are taking place? Probably so; even if the fires are not a 'punishment from above' directly, it may be a 'sign from above' that there are geographical regions that need attention for help.
They need help, guidance, assistance, and motivation for more upright behavior.
Added July 11, 2012: What is 'child abuse'? These are actions, or lack of actions, that occur to children, that can take the form of physical harm such as punching, or neglect, such as not feeding the child, leaving the child isolated and alone for extended time frames, endangering the child, physically, emotionally, psychologically, amongst a host of others definitions.
Here are some excerpts on what is going on in Utah right now, below that is/will be some discussion on Alaska and what they are confronted with, encapsulated, as nice a natural surrounding Alaska may be with lakes, animals, crisp air when there are no wildfires, not everybody there is perfect, there has been an unusually high incidence of attacks of the nature that are described as acts that usually involve consent.
Story from Utah, it only took a couple of seconds to find, because, it was clear that something was going on, even know the writer of this blog post is all the way on the other side of the country in Washington DC; and, articles about child neglect a few years back in Utah, where children were being dropped off in shelters started making appearances; story from Utah:
From January through March of this year, 128 [...] child abuse cases have been opened at the CJC in Farmington, said Susan Burton, the center’s development coordinator.
During 2011, a total of 364 cases were reported to the CJC, she said.
Should the current case trend hold, the 2011 case total could be topped before the end of the third quarter of this year, Burton said.
[...] Davis County Commissioner Louenda Downs said officials know the number of reported abuse cases in the county is high.
“We hope that (the numbers) are high because we are aggressively uncovering it,” Downs said of child abuse.
“It’s awful,” she said of state numbers that reveal a child is abused or neglected here every 38 minutes.
Based on 2011 statistics, 42 percent of victims are 5 years old or younger.
The reported abuse cases are even more concerning based on the number of state offenders already serving prison sentences for child abuse.

It is possible, that this article could be hyped up some more by stating just how far away from the wildfires that in or were in Utah this year, are, from the location of Davis County; but, most readers will probably agree, it doesn't matter. Colorado is suffering from wildfires that are cropping up that were not there 2 weeks ago, and Alaska had about a dozen new fires that got started over the course of last weekend. The point is, it is close enough. Closeness to the one that provides us with 'signs from above', is not what the statistics discussed here pertinent crimes in Utah.
Concern also are unreported crimes, and border-line cases, cases severe enough to abuse or slightly abuse the child, leaving the child harmed for life, if not physically, then psychologically or emotionally, which might not make it to child abuse protection centers.
Alaska
Unfortunately, all articles that were found that dealt with crimes in Alaska in the context, mentioned or had themes that dealt with matters that are not really intended for the ETIS International consortium/group of websites; therefore, they are being removed. The message is the same, we got the news out, now that it is out, the information does not have the dignity to remain on the sites.
At closer inspection, the articles in some regard should have never been placed on this blog in the first place; at the moment they presented themselves, they appeared to be a pressing concern; in the future, if something like that what occurred in Alaska occurs again, we will find another way to go about it.
If you want the stories, e-mail etis@post.com, and we will send the reports of the attacks about rural and urban Alaska behavior, pay for transportation services driver arrest, and bad reputation, 'here is what the UK has/had to say, [by the way, other countries and nations are looking at us]', directly to your e-mail box, for research, usage for news, education, and along those lines only.

They need help, guidance, assistance, and motivation for more upright behavior.
Added July 11, 2012: What is 'child abuse'? These are actions, or lack of actions, that occur to children, that can take the form of physical harm such as punching, or neglect, such as not feeding the child, leaving the child isolated and alone for extended time frames, endangering the child, physically, emotionally, psychologically, amongst a host of others definitions.
Here are some excerpts on what is going on in Utah right now, below that is/will be some discussion on Alaska and what they are confronted with, encapsulated, as nice a natural surrounding Alaska may be with lakes, animals, crisp air when there are no wildfires, not everybody there is perfect, there has been an unusually high incidence of attacks of the nature that are described as acts that usually involve consent.
Story from Utah, it only took a couple of seconds to find, because, it was clear that something was going on, even know the writer of this blog post is all the way on the other side of the country in Washington DC; and, articles about child neglect a few years back in Utah, where children were being dropped off in shelters started making appearances; story from Utah:
"Davis [County in Utah] may top 2011 child abuse cases well before 2012 is out
...the number of child abuse cases opened at the Davis County Children’s Justice Center on pace to shatter the total case count for 2011.From January through March of this year, 128 [...] child abuse cases have been opened at the CJC in Farmington, said Susan Burton, the center’s development coordinator.
During 2011, a total of 364 cases were reported to the CJC, she said.
Should the current case trend hold, the 2011 case total could be topped before the end of the third quarter of this year, Burton said.
[...] Davis County Commissioner Louenda Downs said officials know the number of reported abuse cases in the county is high.
“We hope that (the numbers) are high because we are aggressively uncovering it,” Downs said of child abuse.
“It’s awful,” she said of state numbers that reveal a child is abused or neglected here every 38 minutes.
Based on 2011 statistics, 42 percent of victims are 5 years old or younger.
The reported abuse cases are even more concerning based on the number of state offenders already serving prison sentences for child abuse.
One-third of all Utah inmates [... are offenders of the type that include some of the crimes committed against the children], Burton said, ranking the state the highest in the nation in that category."

ARSON CAUSING WILDFIRES 2012 ? :In the Realm of Possibility
There are some big wildfires raging right now which are reported to be human caused or started in areas that were not pure forest elements.
These days, you are probably not going to find someone outright overtly committing an act of arson.
Also and important, the concept of fires merging, or the 'whoosh' effect of several fires coming together as one big fire alluded to in the previous post, see "military property in jeopardy...", is REAL; as one of the excerpts below shows as has already happened.
Here are quotes from within this week from Fairbanks [Alaska] Daily News at newsminer.com cut/copied/pasted from with font color changes added for easy readability:

Alaska Wildfires. Lightning Rods Might Be A Solution. Over 20 Fires Raging in Alaska Mainland Right Now.
Right now, 18th of June 2012, there are about 30 fires ranging in different sizes throughout the state of Alaska.
Reports are, all but one of them were started by lightning.
Question lies precluding making big investments into lightning rods, which is do they REALLY work, usually meaning, basing the answer to this question off of scientific experiments that used a control group as the method to determining whether or not they are proven to work; since the science experiments never proved they work, the idea of making heavy investments was tossed out.
Howbeit, lightning rods in places that have a history of common occurrences of lightning, also have a history of significantly reduced, if not altogether done away with lightning damage.
What it seems like Alaska needs, are some lightning rods around Fairbanks, Alaska, that are taller than the trees. Fairbanks had 3 fires started in a 3 day period earlier last week.
2 or 3 of the roughly 30 fires raging this month have been described and documented as a 'wildfire' by NIFC. These are larger ones. Smaller fires are still blazing. 20 or 30 fires all raging at the same time, although smaller in area per each, when added together, still account for combined square miles that are huge. Literally, about a third to a half of Alaska as we speak is up in flames.
Fairbanks is toward the very middle of the big portion of the state of Alaska.
Many acres that are the victim of fire have black spruce {tree}.
This the scene, using a 2010 picture, of fire racing through black spruce trees in Alaska, obviously there is not much room to play in there at all:
[picture courtesy httpmalg...tag=wildfire]
What kind of fire do you get when you combine lighting, in the Alaska region, with black spruce in Alaska, plus the other elements, such as air, climate?
Basically, lightning rods are supposed to work by a mechanism whereas the lightning seeks the rod, instead of something else, like your property, and then the electric charge of the lightning makes its way down the pole and discharges in the ground.

Fire names in Alaska as of June 2012:
- Kokrines Hills
- Nekakte
- Little Indian River
- Koguluktuk River
- Stink Creek
- Mentanontli River
- Deadwood Creek [mix of live fire and smoldering]
The list above is only some of the fires, they might be largest, and really fires, that are being tended to by firefighting.
Black spruce, does not mean that the whole tree, or the log part of the tree is actually black in color.
The tree is reminiscent of the fern tree.
Just because it can get cold in Alaska, does not mean that fire cannot exist in large volume out in the wilderness resulting from forces of nature.
A May 2012 newsminer.com, Fairbanks online paper article says fires can lead to smoke which leads to visibility of less than a quarter or a fourth of a mile, and prompting air quality warnings warnings.
The article also says, 6.6 million acres burned in Alaska fires in 2004,
last year in 2011, 515 fires burned 293,018 acres, the 3rd lowest annual total in the last decade; that about 20 miles long and 20 miles wide, if you were to heap all the fires together;
normally, about 1 million acres is covered by fire each year, mostly in interior of the state, that means the big part of Alaska and not the shoreline or the 'stretch of little bitty islands'.

Wildfires Raging on June 11, 2012. Year-round 'Wildfire Season', then Season within the Season
June 12, 2012: The closer number of large wildfires is 23.
Apparently there are about 18 wildfires There are about 23 wildfires currently raging in different part of the United States.
Wildfires means large fires covering square miles [or acres] at a time.
Big ones are:
According to ABC News [June 11, 2012], six states have been impacted heavily by wildfires, the 6 states suffering from fires that seem to head the list in the order [refer http://abcnews.go.com/US/wildfires...] they have it, are:
Season within the season explained:
This means, that some wildfires, could rage in some areas year round, which could take away from the notion of a wildfire season occurring only in a part of the year. Because wildfires are known for usually a higher rate of incidence per unit time, at certain times of the year, there is still wildfire season. What is brought to the forefront with the year-round season concept, is not to wait until the what used to be historically seasonal cycle, for readiness to prevent and suppress wildfires. Many things have happened over the course of time impacting a wildfire season, such as climatic changes, warming of geographic regions for different spans of time, and so on.
In geographical order, the 6 states, are in the southeastern portion of the U.S., Georgia; moving westward, Texas, in the south, which is toward the center of the country; moving northward, also near the center, is Colorado; toward the west, but not all the way west of the continental states, and in the south are NM, and Arizona, leaving Colorado is the northern most state effected by wildfires of the magnitude in this discussion; the possible exception, are fires in the northern part of California.

Wildfires means large fires covering square miles [or acres] at a time.
Big ones are:
- Larimer, Colorado [northernmost part of Colorado]. The High Park Fire.
- New, Mexico [southernmost part of the state], in/around/near mountain region of Ruidoso, and Sierra Blanca mountain range
