  Mystery Bulge in Oregon Still Growing | LiveScience
BEND, Ore. (AP) -- A recent survey of a bulge that covers about 100 square miles near the South Sister indicates the area is still growing, suggesting it could be another volcano in the making or a major shift of molten rock under the center of the Cascade Range.
The likely cause of the bulge is a pool of magma that, according to Deschutes National Forest geologist Larry Chitwood, is equal in size to a lake 1 mile across and 65 feet deep.
The magma lake is rising 10 feet each year, under tremendous pressure, and it deforms the Earth's surface as it expands, causing the bulge.

  Bulge definition file
The bulge definition shapes are not stored in the wire file, but in an ASCII file called bulge_types which resides in your misc_data directory of your current project.
The advantage of storing these bulge shapes in a separate file outside of your wire file is that you can build a catalogue of bulge shapes, and reuse them from wire file to wire file, and even from project to project (you can copy the bulge_types file from one project directory to another).
Thus if you have several wire files that use the same bulge definition and you modify the bulge definition in the interactive package, you are actually modifying the bulge definition for all wire files that reference that bulge code.

The German army had intended to split the Allied line in half, capturing Antwerp and then proceeding to sweep north to encircle and destroy four Allied armies, thus as Hitler believed, forcing the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis' favour.

 Battle of Oregon's bulge
The bulge, in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area -- named after three volcanic peaks -- was detected in March 2001 by a geologist using a new imaging technology called radar interferometry, which uses satellites to measure changes in Earth's surface.
The bulge -- or uplift, as geologists call it -- could grow into a cinder cone, which is a hill of volcanic fragments; become a shield volcano, which has a broad, gentle slope; or remain merely a bump, according to the USGS.
The slope of the bulge is so gradual, and the terrain so rich in other natural formations such as hills and ridges, that many people don't even know when they're standing on top of it.

 BBC NEWS | Americas | Bush's bulge stirs media rumours
A bulge in the back of President George W Bush's suit jacket during the first TV debate with John Kerry has triggered rumours that he was wired to get help.
Internet websites alleged the apparent bulge, during last week's debate in Miami, was a radio receiver feeding him answers from an offstage aide.
President Bush's tailor later said that the bulge was nothing more than a pucker along the jacket's back seam, according to the Seattle Times newspaper.

Unlike the disk, the distribution of stars in the galactic bulge is not exponential.
Bulge stars are mostly old (ages > 9 Gyr) and have a range of metallicities (-1 < [Fe/H] < 0.5) with an average metallicity a little under solar ([Fe/H] = -0.2).
Secondly, if you look at the distances to stars on either side of the bulge, on average stars on one side of the bulge are closer than stars on the other.

 ZNet Commentary: The "Youth Bulge":
The belief that the youth bulge represents a security threat is partially based on the idea that population pressures inevitably cause resource scarcities, which in turn force young people to compete for limited educational and employment opportunities.
The youth bulge's supposed volatile nature serves as a rationale for U.S. defense build-up in areas where the youth bulge is defined as a problem, notably in the Middle East.
The alarmist youth bulge concept is clearly in the interests of those who advance it and not in the interest of supporting the next generation of youth.

 Was Bush Wired? Sure Looks Like It.
When the bulge was first reported by this writer in Salon on Oct. 8, the White House claimed that it didn't exist -- suggesting that photos depicting a rectangular bulge had been doctored.
Bush replied that the bulge had been the result of a "poorly tailored shirt." Gibson didn't press the matter, and didn't ask about the bulges that were evident during the subsequent debates.
The problem, of course, is that with photos showing that the bulge was apparent at all three debates, this would mean that the president either wore the same bad shirt on all three occasions (he changed jackets and ties), or that he has a whole wardrobe of similarly ill-fitting shirts.

 Bulge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
A bulge is a general enlargement of the stem of a tree or log- a barreling effect- often without an evident cause such as a knot or callus formation.
Significance- Bulges are usually evidence of internal rot and under good bucking practice are not included in logs if the rot takes up more than 50% of the end area of the log.
A stem bulge located near the middle of a log, where it cannot be cut out, is a degrader in factory-lumber logs.
