go to left sidebar under "spotlight"


"There have been numerous aftershocks detected following the recent magnitude 9 megathrust earthquake. In the first two days following the quake, 40 aftershocks with magnitude greater than five have been detected. The largest occurred about three hours after the main shock and registered a magnitude of 7.5. There have been no reports of tsunamis being generated from the aftershocks. We know from past experience that the number of aftershocks will decrease with time. However, the number of aftershocks can be quite variable.
There might be short episodes of higher activity as well as lulls in activity, but the overall trend will be for fewer aftershocks as time goes by. Seismologists are not able to predict the timing and sizes of individual aftershocks."

4. it just sickens me equipment measured all this and no one was warned

what good is science without application???

This is the 21st century, global warming is going to kick our asses, and just about ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, ANYTIME.

So we need to get our shit together as a global community and deal with threats like this.

5. well, to get that done, bush* needs to take some of the pentagoon's war

money, which is an obscene amount, and shift a little bit over to the Federal Agencies that do something besides KILL PEOPLE....


bush* puts about HALF of all our Federal budget into MILITARY...it's really obscene, and nobody notices or cares....THAT's why there's very little ability for other Federal Agencies to even function at all, lest most contribute to so-called HOMELAND SECURITY (bush* joke on us)....the only way that bush* minions can STEAL the U.S. Treasury is to run it through the un-audited, no oversight, pentagoon WAR.....
