GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded seven small earthquakes shaking central Oklahoma in a span of about 14 hours.
The temblors are part of an increase in earthquakes across Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas that some scientists say could be connected to the oil and gas drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing, and especially the wells in which the industry disposes of its wastewater.

The celebrating began before the coroner could collect the bodies of Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo, the Las Vegas patrol officers ambushed and executed while eating at a pizzeria last month.
“The good news is, there are two less police in the world,” read an entry on the Facebook page for CopBlock.org.
I have been warning people that their children could be at risk when they go back to school because illegal alien children have been exposing Americans at the borders and at summer schools to active TB, swine flu, lice, scabies and Chagas. Scabies and Chagas are parasitical diseases. Chagas can swell the heart ventricle and can be fatal. The Corporate Media has not issued a travel advisory warning passengers on buses and planes that they are being exposed to diseases that can drastically change their lives. We have already had active cases of TB at two California schools. And Border Patrol officers have caught bacterial pneumonia in one state and scabies in another.
We need to issue travel advisories in the alternative media or what some are calling the Real News Corps. And we also need to issue Back to School Advisories. Get the word out. Ask local school authorities and medical professionals at the county level if there is a program in place to screen all new students from Central America and elsewhere for TB, scabies, lice, Chagas and whatever else is of interest to local doctors.

Every person needs to go through a national background check before they are allowed to purchase a gun, but sometimes that system fails, or guns are traded between people and no record is kept. It’s difficult to track down the people that have illegal firearms.
Now a new report from the Government Accountability Office is saying that our country’s top gun enforcement agency, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, doesn’t have the ability to track all the investigations involving illegal gun sales. Even though these investigations are classified as a top priority for the agency, the ATF doesn’t have the data readily available to track the suspects who weren’t flagged at the time of the purchase, but later were deemed ineligible to buy a gun because of a criminal record or a mental illness. The office says the reason for this is a four-year hiring freeze and not enough funding. Continue reading “Report: Government Agency Doesn’t Have Capacity to Track Illegal Gun Sales”
A photograph of Steven Spielberg posing on the set of his 1993 film Jurassic Park has gotten the director blasted on the internet for killing a dinosaur.
The director posed with one of the props from the flick when he filmed the movie, and after Jay Branscomb posted the image on his Facebook page with the caption, “Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man,” those not paying attention to the details became livid and posted some nasty comments.Continue reading “Steven Spielberg Slammed Online For ‘Killing’ Triceratops”
At least 200 people have been evacuated from a train that derailed in New Jersey after colliding with a truck that was crossing the tracks. Four people are currently in hospital with minor injuries following the incident.
Erica Dumas, a spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York, told AP that the two front wheels of the train went off the rails after the collision Sunday.

Hundreds marched through Washington DC and rallied at the Capitol on Sunday to protest plans for a new liquid natural gas (LNG) export facility in Maryland. Local residents fear possible environmental risks.
The plan is to build a new terminal at the Cove Point, Maryland LNG facility, which could be used for exporting fuel to Asia. It’s proposed by a Virginia-based company, Dominion Resources, and could be endorsed by the White House in September. Continue reading “Hundreds rally in DC against fracked gas exports”
Reactivating a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant could provide Japan with enough plutonium to produce up to 2,000 atomic bombs a year, a US expert has warned. The “reckless” move could destabilize the region, as Japan’s neighbors rush to compete.
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said it downed a drone launched by militants in the Gaza Strip on Monday, the first time it encountered an unmanned aircraft since the start of its offensive last week, as new Israeli airstrikes pushed the death toll from a weeklong Israeli offensive to at least 175.
Israel began its campaign against militants in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip last Tuesday, saying it was responding to heavy rocket fire from the densely populated territory. The military says it has launched more than 1,300 airstrikes since then, while Palestinian militants have launched nearly 1,000 rockets at Israel.

RICHMOND, Ind. (AP) — A car that collided with a Greyhound bus on an Indiana highway, killing the car’s driver and injuring 19 people on the bus, had just been stolen and was headed in the wrong direction, authorities said.
Phillip Lloyd, the driver of the stolen 1999 Ford Mustang, died at the scene of the Sunday morning collision on Interstate 70 near Richmond, Wayne County Sheriff Jeff Cappa said. Lloyd was from Richmond, which is about 70 miles east of Indianapolis and near the Ohio border. Continue reading “Sheriff: Bus was hit by stolen car going wrong way”
For many Americans the country of Mexico conjures up images of a third world nation. The poverty, lack of basic services, and extreme violence has left the populace so desperate that thousands of people on a daily basis head to the United States for a better life.
The world economy is just as vulnerable to a financial crisis as it was in 2007, with the added danger that debt ratios are now far higher and emerging markets have been drawn into the fire as well, the Bank for International Settlements has warned.
Jaime Caruana, head of the Swiss-based financial watchdog, said investors were ignoring the risk of monetary tightening in their voracious hunt for yield.
Wake County’s magnet schools have earned national recognition during the past 32 years, but have reached a crossroads as they face tougher competition for students from inside and outside of the school district.
Magnet applications have dropped 42 percent since 2007 even as enrollment in North Carolina’s largest school district has increased by 14 percent. But with nearly 2,600 applicants a year still being turned down, some Wake County school leaders say more magnet schools are needed to keep up with growth, give additional options to families and promote diverse school enrollments. Continue reading “Wake County looks at future of magnet school program”
The record flood of Central American children crossing the U.S. border is stretching funds and setting off improvisation at public schools.
While politicians spend the summer fighting over how to turn back the tide, school leaders across the country are struggling to absorb a new student population the size of Newark, New Jersey. More than 40,000 children, many of them fresh from violent, harrowing journeys, have been released since October to stateside relatives as courts process their cases.

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” the VP of the Border Patrol Union, Chris Cabrea told host Martha MacCallum “a lot of our guys” are coming down with diseases.
Immigration reform has fizzled as an issue for Democrats, who are barely mentioning it on the campaign trail despite making the issue their top domestic priority in 2013 and 2014.
NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) – The U.S. Marine Corps. has enlisted the help of a four-legged devil-dog of sorts.
A robotic mule known as the Legged Squad Support System, or LS3, is taking part in military exercises in Hawaii.
LS3 is designed to carry 400 pounds and travel 20 miles without refueling. The robot is operated by a Marine with a sensor strapped to his or her foot. Continue reading “Military tests robotic mule”
Most people have never heard of Jaime Caruana even though he is the head of an immensely powerful organization. He has been serving as the General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements since 2009, and he will continue in that role until 2017. The Bank for International Settlements is a rather boring name, and very few people realize that it is at the very core of our centrally-planned global financial system. So when Jaime Caruana speaks, people should listen. And the fact that he recently warned that the global financial system is currently “more fragile” in many ways than it was just prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers should set off all sorts of alarm bells. Speaking of the financial markets, Caruana ominously declared that “it is hard to avoid the sense of a puzzling disconnect between the markets’ buoyancy and underlying economic developments globally” and he noted that “markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent”. In other words, he is saying what I have been saying for so long. The behavior of the financial markets has become completely divorced from economic reality, and at some point there is going to be a massive correction.
