...Saturday, the dogs were heading to Pariaman, a remote area close to the epicenter of the 7.6 magnitude tremor, joining search- and-rescue squads from South Korea, Singapore, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. The day before, Pariaman regency's secretary Yuen Karnova received a call late at night informing him that foreign experts had arrived, and he rejoiced, "God bless, help is coming." The chance of finding survivors in the landslides triggered by the quake in that region will be very slim. Still, the Swiss team prepares the dogs for the journey to Pariaman by dunking the dogs...
...just a few kilometers away, in the village of Tandikat, at the foot of a dormant volcano, an eerie silence prevailed. Four local communities were essentially wiped out when the tremor triggered landslides, covering a 20 hectare (500 acre) swathe with up to 10 m (30 feet) of earth. In one community, at least 40 people, mostly children, perished as they sat at an outdoor kiosk watching television before attending a Koranic class. On Friday alone, 12 bodies, or parts of bodies, were discovered by a search-and-rescue team from the Indonesian Special Police. One man identified...

Though deserving of other, more flattering titles, “Signal Morning” will go down as 2009’s unlikeliest record. Its story begins in 2000 with the breakup of psych-pop revivalists The Olivia Tremor Control, who, throughout the 90s, had—along with The Apples in Stereo and Neutral Milk Hotel—served as a pillar of the Elephant Six Recording Co., a sprawling collective of indie rock bands based in Athens, Ga. With two of that decade’s finest albums—1996’s “Dusk...
Several aftershocks were registered on Tuesday, including one tremor that caused rescue workers to flee the partially collapsed buildings where they were looking for survivors. Berlusconi said the search would go on for another 48 hours, but he admitted that chances were dwindling of finding additional victims alive. More than 6,000 rescue workers and volunteers have responded since the quake struck. The immediate concern for saving lives and finding emergency shelter for the survivors will eventually be replaced by questions about retrofitting efforts. The earthquake-prone country has two major fault lines, and vast numbers of people live...
