The quake was the most powerful to hit the mostly wilderness region since 1934, said Keith Knudsen, deputy director of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. It appeared to have occurred along a strikeslip fault line similar to the San Andreas. More than 9,000 people including from neighboring states logged onto the USGS website to report feeling the jolt. ''It was a pretty good size quake,'' Knudsen said. The quake hit a rugged region where the Sierra and Cascade mountains meet. More than 100 lakes and 1,000 miles of rivers and streams flow through more than a million acres of national forest. About 22,000 people live in Plumas County. The region's seismicity is not well-studied because the terrain is rugged and dollars have been spent on analyzing faults in more populated corridors like the San Francisco Bay area where the earthquake risk is higher. Since Thursday's quake, scientists are mulling putting more portable monitors near the epicenter.

Susan Shephard and her husband, Alan Shephard, who run the Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor near the epicenter, said they were watching ''The Hunger Games'' on TV when the whole building started shaking.

Mercy did do outreach to its families through surveys and meetings prior to the switch. Once a book is bought it needs to be kept about 7 to 10 years due to the cost. With a digital book the school can afford to buy a new one each year if a better book is available, Weber said.

"I think it will be really good for the students and beneficial for the teachers to have all the books digital," Weber said. "We already have all the wireless now." For those concerned about misappropriation of the technology, there will be software used that will not allow students to access applications downloaded from home and firewalls as an added layer of security, he said. Sophomore Gabe Sartori already has an iPad and is a big fan of its use in school, he said. With the digital edition, books stay on his virtual shelf and can be reused by siblings, Sartori said. Sartori likes that a person can magnify images to see them up close and the ability to see many more pictures than a traditional text allows, he said. There is the added benefit of being able to highlight things and take notes on what a teacher is saying in a lecture al Land Trust officer, chambers of commerce, county farm bureaus and through any member.

"It's every icon available in the army of apps available at a swipe," Sartori said. "I'm looking forward to it. I don't like carrying 60 pounds of books and the condition remains the same so you don't lose the binding or destroy the book just taking it from house to class." Added benefits include being able to email homework and assignments to teachers, record a lecture for students who were absent and learn at one's own pace. The school knows not everyone can afford the full price of the iPad and has plans in place for them, Weber said. "We will be offering options where students can use their own iPads and we will buy a bunch to offer to students," Weber said. For more information on the school or digital transition, call 527-8313.

But I eardrum is a group of tiny count myself lucky every day that I can hear. Not surprisingly with such a complex process, many things can go wrong. For example, hearing loss can occur when something blocks sound waves from passing through the outer or middle ear. The source of the obstruction can be any number of things: earwax, fluid, inflammation, a cyst or other abnormal growth, or something accidentally lodged in the ear. Not unexpectedly, this happens more often in infants than in adults. But I once saw a man in his 50s who was having trouble hearing in his left ear. It turned out he had the cotton from the end of a Q-tip stuck inside his ear canal. The obstruction can also be caused by otosclerosis, which is most likely the cause of your hearing loss. Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of the tiny ossicle bones. It usually occurs on the stapes, the smallest ossicle in the middle ear. Hearing loss occurs because the stiffened stapes can no longer vibrate and pass sound waves from the ear canal to the inner ear.
