US, Israel Pull Closer on Iran

March-05-2012-- WASHINGTON -US officials said they believed pressure has eased on Israel to attack Iran, after meetings Monday between American and Israeli leaders and tougher talk from the US that moved it closer to Israel's approach. Israeli officials, meanwhile, said that President Barack Obama's public and private acknowledgment of the Jewish state's sovereign right to defend itself was a crucial gain as the two countries seek to deter Tehran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also praised Mr. Obama's stated willingness in recent days to use U.S. military might to counter Iran.

"We managed to convince the international community that we are talking about a real threat and danger" from Iran's nuclear ambitions, Mr. Netanyahu said after the meetings. "[Israel has] put the Iranian issue on the international order of priorities."

The USGS originally reported that the first quake had a magnitude of 2.9.

The shaking was felt within a 60-mile radius, from Santa Rosa in the north to Santa Cruz in the south.

Two quakes struck at active part

of Hayward Fault

March-05-2012 --EL CERRITO -- The two earthquakes that struck just seconds apart in El Cerrito early Monday were centered on an area of the Hayward Fault that has seen a cluster of temblors over the last 40 years,

A 4.0-magnitude quake struck near the Mira Vista Country Club on Arlington Boulevard in the El Cerrito hills at 5:33 a.m., eight seconds after a 3.5 quake hit roughly a quarter-mile to the northeast. Each quake had a depth of about 5 1/2 miles,seismologists said. None of the 18 quakes since 1972 has been greater than 4.0, Uhrhammer said. Researchers don't know whether the El Cerrito portion is more likely than quieter sections to produce the 7.5-magnitude quake that seismologists believe the Hayward Fault is capable of.

March-05-2012-Elastic Rebound Theory and San Andreas Fault Earthquakes

The Earthquake Commission found that the San Andreas Fault shifted along this length of more than 200 miles. How is that possible? How could the Earth have shifted suddenly over such a great distance? There had been no earthquake that had been seen like this before. And it was a question that confounded scientists until the development of Plate Tectonics Theory in the 1960's.

as China trims growth target

March-05-2012--NEW YORK - Stocks fell on Monday for the second straight session and the third in the last four trading days, led lower by basic materials shares after China trimmed its growth target for 2012.
