Almost two decades ago, I wrote in Dare To Prepare about dire consequences from mega-quakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. After Dare To Prepare’s 1st Ed. was published, scientists retracted their worries and pronounced the New Madrid area ‘dead’. It was safe. What a different tune they’re singing now.

“Previous studies have suggested that it may be shutting down, based on GPS readings that showed little strain accumulation at the surface. Other research came to the same conclusion by blaming ongoing quake activity on aftershocks from the 1800s, which would essentially relieve strain on the fault.   Continue reading “How Many Will Die in the New Madrid Earthquake?”

A shortage of propane heating fuel during a brutal U.S. cold snap this month threatens to sharpen the year’s most urgent energy policy debate – how much of its newfound shale oil and gas bounty should America export?

Millions felt the pinch last week as another wave of biting, bitter cold strained already low propane supplies in the Midwest, causing prices to surge three-fold over two weeks to record highs and forcing suppliers to ration deliveries.   Continue reading “Analysis: Propane freeze squeeze may harden resistance to U.S. oil exports”

The National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have been developing capabilities to take advantage of “leaky” smartphone apps, such as the wildly popular Angry Birds game, that transmit users’ private information across the internet, according to top secret documents.

The data pouring onto communication networks from the new generation of iPhone and Android apps ranges from phone model and screen size to personal details such as age, gender and location. Some apps, the documents state, can share users’ most sensitive information such as sexual orientation – and one app recorded in the material even sends specific sexual preferences such as whether or not the user may be a swinger.   Continue reading “NSA and GCHQ target ‘leaky’ phone apps like Angry Birds to scoop user data”

Amy Glass is clueless and apparently rather bitter.

Amy Glass is a feminist blogger that I’d never heard of before someone sent me a link to this post. Her bio includes links to such gems as I Use My Sexuality To Get Ahead At Work and Hillary Clinton Has Given Just As Much To This World As The Stay At Home Wife In My 11am Yogalates Class.  She also can’t spell very well, but it would be catty to say that. (oops)

I read her arrogant post called ”I Look Down On Young Women With Husbands And Kids And I’m Not Sorry” thinking that there had to be a punchline, some merit, some deep social concept that I had heretofore been missing.   Continue reading “I Look Down on Clueless Bitter Feminists and I’m Not Sorry”

Jan 25 (Reuters) – A natural gas pipeline operated byTransCanada Corp exploded and caught fire in a rural area of the western Canadian province of Manitoba early on Saturday, but there were no injuries, a federal regulator said.

The explosion happened near Otterburne, Manitoba, about 25 km (15.5 miles) south of the provincial capital, Winnipeg. The area was evacuated as a precaution, said the National Energy Board, which oversees parts of Canada’s energy industry.   Continue reading “TransCanada gas pipeline explodes in Manitoba, none hurt”

MILWAUKEE (CN) – A medical staffing company blew off a court order, and its president told a pregnant employee to use an “Apparatus for Facilitating the Birth of a Child by Centrifugal Force” so she could come back to work earlier, the woman claims in court.

The Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission sued HCS Medical Staffing, of Milwaukee, and its president, Charles Sisson, in Milwaukee County Court.   Continue reading “This One Will Make Your Head Spin”

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Forget being sneezed on: Government scientists are deliberately giving dozens of volunteers the flu by squirting the live virus straight up their noses.

It may sound bizarre, but the rare type of research is a step in the quest for better flu vaccines. It turns out that how the body fends off influenza remains something of a mystery.   Continue reading “Want to get the flu? Volunteers sneeze for science”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will work with Congress where he can and circumvent lawmakers where he must, his top advisers warned Sunday in previewing Tuesday’s State of the Union speech.

Obama faces a politically divided Congress on Tuesday and will use his annual address to demand expanded economic opportunity. Absent legislative action, the White House is telling lawmakers that the president is ready to take unilateral action to close the gap between rich and poor Americans.   Continue reading “White House warns Obama could go around Congress”

WEB Notes: This continues to happen around the globe. Markets have been very shaky the past few days. This week should be a bit more telling. Yesterday, South Korea held an emergency meeting to discuss economic markets. In addition we now seeHSBC limiting cash withdrawals.

(Sky News) – Lloyds Banking Group has apologised after customers were unable to withdraw money from cashpoints or pay for goods with their debit cards.   Continue reading “Lloyds Banking Group ‘Sorry’ Over IT Glitch”
