Earthquake in Japan shifts axis.

I think that the whirlpool was interesting. Did they ever say how that happened?

Not in that article. From my understanding of the phenomenon it has to do with currents and underwater obstructions.

Mega quakes—more powerful than thousands of nuclear bombs, this is the subject of another great National Geographic show. Keep your eyes open for it.

Atlantis found? NGO special this Sunday.

This was fascinating, and something I will keep tabs on. I hope they can figure out an inexpensive way to excavate below all of that ground water. Thanks for sharing this, Corkey!

You are very welcome, I've taped it so Ami and I can watch it together.

Gaps in US monitoring systems.

Persuant to the link posted by Corkey. I have a few tid bits I'd like to add. Tomorrow it will be 33 years since the Three mile Island melt down. Yes, it was a melt down. I was just beginning my first round of college geek studies when this happened. Later in life, round two of geek studies enlightened me to much more about that whole thing. As AtLast posted in another thread, the reports coming out of Japan vary and are conflicting. EXACTLY what happened here.

Our Goverment reported that the TMI melt down released 10 billion curries. WOW. No amount of radiation is safe.

By 8 a.m., the day of the meltdown, the monitors were at maximum capacity. Therefore, there was no direct way to assess how much damage was actually being done.

Many times, and many years later, Independent/unbiased scientists reexamined the melt down and felt 150 billion curries escaped. Quite a disparity in those numbers.

We've had over thirty years to make monitors that actually monitor, or did we stop doing that (feeling safe?)

Want to talk about cancer?

I have a hard time listening to these reports, as I am a skeptic to the accurate reporting and full disclosure. It will be years before we actually know. Just my opinion.

I'll believe independent scientific information before I believe a utility company or a government agency. The increase in cancer related deaths and contamination continues to be an issue in this state. Too bad we have a governor who is blind to the suffering of his constituents and is suing the feds on healthcare reform. Yep I remember TMI and the horror continues.
