Preliminary Coseismic Displacement Field M 8.8 Maule Earthquake, Chile, Feb 27 2010<br />
<br />
"This is the preliminary solution obtained by Project CAP (Central and Southern Andes GPS Project) for the coseismic displacement field associated with the recent M 8.8 Maule earthquake in south-central Chile. Peak measured displacement is 3.04 m near the city of Concepcion, Chile. Significant displacements are evident as far east as Buenos Aires, Argentina (2-4 cm) and as far north as the Chilean border with Peru."<br />

			<description><![CDATA[THE COLES METHOD<br />
(of Forecasting Earthquakes)<br />
Reflected, Refracted and Diffused Initial/Main Earthquake Signals<br />
 <br />
	Most studies on seismology, earthquakes, and the earth’s surface only address the earth’s core, mantle, and the surface upon which we live.  A few astute scientists have included the inhomogeneous atmosphere which is also very much a part of the planet surrounded by the vacuum of space<br />
<br />
	When a shallow or large earthquake occurs, sound traveling through the air has been recorded near the epicenter.  Much like a loud noise from behind a wall, we tend to focus on the opening from which the sound is the strongest, when the actual origin of the sound may be in a completely different direction.  We are only hearing the sound which is emerging from the opening, not from where it actually originated.<br />
<br />
	In the same way, the propagation of radio waves, Initial and Main earthquake signals tend to exit the earth’s surface at the point of least resistance.  If the fault is covered by water or solid surface, the piezoelectric discharge created by the rock being crushed at the hypocenter will not exit at the epicenter most of the time.  These emissions will travel along the fault lines until they reach an outlet, the point of least resistance.<br />
	A good illustration of this would be the wall previously mentioned with a flashbulb lighting off on the opposite side while we are focusing on the opening.  We might be able to detect that a flash has happened, but we would not be able to accurately assess exactly where it had happened.  However, if a mirror had previously been placed at the opening at the correct angle, a “reflected flash”, or signal would be seen at the opening.  The same thing happens with radar and other types of radio signals.<br />
<br />
	In seismic evaluation, several wave arrivals, called “phases”, are reflected, refracted and/or diffused.  The waves then appear on various seismographs at various times and with different signatures, depending on the location of the receiver.<br />
<br />
	While the Northridge, California earthquake in 1994 is a good example of an “other-than-epicenter” discharge, the 9.2 magnitude Sumatra earthquake in 2004 is the best example we can examine.  Due to the “wall of water” and the earth mass, the energy reflected of “hot-spots” of future faulting areas.<br />
<br />
	On December 10-11, 2004, multiple large signals, both Initial and Main, came out of the Sumatra region, including New Zealand, Australia, and Indonesia.  One clear Main signal recorded on the web-<br />
site Syzygyjob.com the next day (December 12th) read “far off the coast of New Zealand, magnitude eight point range”.<br />
<br />
	On December 15, 2004, nine days before the event at 3 AM, another set of signals started the countdown to an 8.1 magnitude earthquake which happened 261 miles off of the coast of New Zealand.  On December 18, 2004, a major set of signals unexpectedly blasted out of the north, with a rating over 8 points.  Its amplitude overshadowed the echoes (phases) that give distance by reflection, refraction and diffusion.<br />
<br />
	The warning then went out for the exact date of December 26, 2004 for a great quake to the west, using only one point of observation.  One might say that 2 out of 3 aren’t bad.  However, the forecasted area pointed to the reflection and a future “hot-spot” in Alaska, not the epicenter nor the hypocenter.<br />
<br />
	In the years to come, these anomalies will be better identified by adding one or more radio earthquake listening stations.  We will then not be caught looking toward reflected faults from only one perspective.  Starting from the date of the first Main signals on December 10, 2004, through the secondary Main signals on the 15th and 18th, (for the region including Sumatra, focusing on the date of December 26, 2004 at the sixteen-day and nine-day warnings), would have given us a successfully pinpointed multiple forecast using the COLES METHOD.  <br />
<br />
	The same type of very large reflected signals happened on March 17, 2007.  The Main signals came from the south and were thought to originate in the area from Mexico through South America because of the signal strength (6.5 to 7.5+).  On April 2, 2007, an 8.1 magnitude and multiple 6.0 magnitude quakes happened off of the Solomon Islands.  This caused a tsunami and an island was elevated ten feet, exposing the coral which had previously been below the surf.  The following weeks highlighted the previously mentioned “hot-spots” when a 6.2 magnitude quake rattled Mexico City and a volcano blew its top after 500 dormant years in Neiva, Colombia.<br />
<br />
	Additional stations would give us hypocenters when triangulated.<br />

<br />
This forecast might be going for Jack's 5X5 (25 day) window.   The percent of possibility is 36%.  There have only been 4 other earthquakes that went to the 25 day forecast window.  Usually the forecast window is 4X4 (16days).<br />
<br />
The Chile 8.8 magnitude quake qualifies as one of the very few (4 to 6 in the last 30 years) rare 25 day quakes mentioned in the above quote.  The last signals received were on the 1st of February when Jack received 10 signals.<br />
<br />
Although initially forecast for the Greater Antilles area, in hindsight Jack feels that the signals received were, in fact, for this Chile quake.  It was quite deep, as the many aftershocks have also been quite deep as well. If you look at the latitude lines for the Greater Antilles area, Chile is due south.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Bay Area USGS scientists keeping a wary eye on after-effects of the Chile quake.<br />
<br />
>The Chilean quake registered among the top 10 ever recorded by instruments, but the scientists believe an even larger earthquake — with an estimated magnitude of 9.1 — hit the northern coast of California in 1700. "So this is something that we need to be prepared for as well," said Ross Stein, USGS research geophysicist.<br />
<br />
Stein called Chile "an earthquake hatchery," where a magnitude 9.5 shock in 1960 — the largest quake ever recorded — caused the tsunami that later swept through San Francisco Bay. In a typical magnitude 8.0 earthquake on the San Andreas Fault in California, the earth's crust may slip up to 10 feet. Friday's Chilean quake resulted in a 20 to 30 foot movement in the Nazca Plate, which Stein said "is being shoved under South America."<br />
<br />
The USGS is watching for a "propagation of ruptures," a pattern that typically accompanies such quakes. "The thing that concerns us is the possibility it could trigger a large aftershock," Stein said, "or another main shock."<br />
<br />
In Haiti, an estimated 10 percent of the people exposed to the shaking of the quake there died. The death toll in Chile is expected to be much lower because, as USGS Research Geophysicist Walter Mooney said, "Chile has spent the last 50 years preparing for these kinds of events."<br />
<br />
Mooney said the difference between the two was that, despite the much greater energy produced by the quake in Chile, concrete structures there were built with rebar reinforcement. It had been 240 years since the last great quake in Haiti, so building codes were much more lax there. "There are ways of designing structures that are not going to kill people when a large earthquake occurs," Mooney said.<br />

Friday's Chilean quake resulted in a 20 to 30 foot movement in the Nazca Plate, which Stein said "is being shoved under South America."<br />
<br />
The USGS is watching for a "propagation of ruptures," a pattern that typically accompanies such quakes. "The thing that concerns us is the possibility it could trigger a large aftershock," Stein said, "or another main shock."<br />
<br />
In Haiti, an estimated 10 percent of the people exposed to the shaking of the quake there died. The death toll in Chile is expected to be much lower because, as USGS Research Geophysicist Walter Mooney said, "Chile has spent the last 50 years preparing for these kinds of events."<br />
<br />
Mooney said the difference between the two was that, despite the much greater energy produced by the quake in Chile, concrete structures there were built with rebar reinforcement. It had been 240 years since the last great quake in Haiti, so building codes were much more lax there. "There are ways of designing structures that are not going to kill people when a large earthquake occurs," Mooney said.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, a moving mass should create another field, called gravitomagnetic field, besides its static gravitational field. This field has now been measured for the first time and to the scientists' astonishment, it proved to be no less than one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein's General Relativity predicts.<br />
<br />
This gravitomagnetic field is similar to the magnetic field produced by a moving electric charge (hence the name "gravitomagnetic" analogous to "electromagnetic"). For example, the electric charges moving in a coil produce a magnetic field - such a coil behaves like a magnet. Similarly, the gravitomagnetic field can be produced to be a mass moving in a circle. What the electric charge is for electromagnetism, mass is for gravitation theory (the general theory of relativity).<br />
<br />
<br />
A spinning top weights more than the same top standing still. However, according to Einstein's theory, the difference is negligible. It should be so small that we shouldn't even be capable of measuring it. But now scientists from the European Space Agancy, Martin Tajmar, Clovis de Matos and their colleagues, have actually measured it. At first they couldn't believe the result.<br />
<br />
"We ran more than 250 experiments, improved the facility over 3 years and discussed the validity of the results for 8 months before making this announcement. Now we are confident about the measurement," says Tajmar. They hope other physicists will now conduct their own versions of the experiment so they could be absolutely certain that they have really measured the gravitomagnetic field and not something else. This may be the first empiric clue for how to merge together quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity in a single unified theory.<br />
<br />
"If confirmed, this would be a major breakthrough," says Tajmar, "it opens up a new means of investigating general relativity and its consequences in the quantum world."]]></description>

Huge shark-filled aquarium in Dubai cracks open<br />
Sharks in the Dubai Mall aquarium<br />
The aquarium boasts 30,000 species of underwater creature<br />
<br />
An aquarium and a shopping centre in Dubai have been evacuated after water leaked from a massive tank holding hundreds of sharks.<br />
<br />
Safety officials said the "small crack" appeared in the tank which holds 10 million litres of water and more than 33,000 underwater creatures.<br />
<br />
The aquarium, opened in 2008, was promoted as being an "indoor ocean".<br />
<br />
The mall owners said the leak appeared in a panel joint in the tank and was immediately fixed by engineers.<br />
<br />
Teams carrying lifejackets were seen entering the mall. see link (hmm,where is the url linkup?) I will try it by hand,let's see,bracket...<br />
