TOKYO—An earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Japan, shaking buildings in Tokyo but not causing any reported damage. It was the second large tremor to hit Japan on Wednesday, following a quake that struck off the northern island of Hokkaido.

The second quake, with a magnitude of 6.1, hit around 9:05 p.m. local time, and was centered in the bay east of Chiba prefecture at a depth of about 10 kilometers, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency website.

Japanese authorities said there was no danger of a tsunami. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it hadn't detected any problems with its nuclear reactors, including those at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant, located farther north. Some train lines were paused briefly, but soon resumed service.

The quake followed a magnitude-6.8 tremor that struck off the northern island of Hokkaido earlier Wednesday. That quake sparked a small tsunami wave along Japan's northeastern coast, and prompted authorities to issue an evacuation warning. It caused no apparent damage.

TOKYO: A major 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Tokyo Sunday as Emperor Akihito led Japan's New Year celebrations by urging people to work together in rebuilding the nation from March's quake-tsunami disaster.

The tremor struck at 2:28pm (0528 GMT) with its focus deep at about 370 kilometres (230 miles), Japan's Meteorological Agency said. The US Geological Survey put the depth at 348 kilometres.

Its epicentre was located near Torishima, a northwestern Pacific island about 560 kilometres south of Tokyo.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injury and no tsunami warning was issued.

The mid-afternoon quake swayed buildings in Tokyo and surrounding areas but it did not disrupt the final of the Emperor's Cup football tournament under way at the National Stadium.

"Some people, who were walking, did not seem to notice the quake," a spokesman for Tokyo Disneyland said, adding business went on as usual at the theme park after some rides were automatically shut down.

He did not give the number of visitors on the day but estimated it at several tens of thousands.

Train runs and airline flights in and around the capital area were not affected.

A 9.0-magnitude quake and monster tsunami ravaged the country's northeast on March 11, killing more than 19,000 people, and crippled a nuclear power plant which has been since leaking radiation into the environment.

In a New Year message, Emperor Akihito said: "Our country is now going through difficult times because of the earthquake and other factors."

"But I hope that the people's hearts will always be with the afflicted, and that everyone will persevere and work together to build a brighter tomorrow."

Wishes for the nation's recovery appeared to have dominated as the new year started in Japan with tens of thousands of people flocking to Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples to offer money and pray for good fortune.

Two shallow quakes of magnitude 5.8 and 5.9 and a series of aftershocks struck as the town centre was packed with afternoon Christmas shoppers, sending stock tumbling from the shelves and turning the festive mood to panic.

The quakes, which closed the international airport and disrupted communications, were the latest in a series that began 15 months ago and have destroyed much of the inner-city.

Local news media reported people fleeing in fear as the quake and a series of aftershocks rattled the city, leading to liquefaction and flooding in some suburbs worst hit by previous earthquakes.

Liquefaction is caused when shaking loosens the bonds between soil particles, turning the ground into a quagmire.

"It was very frightening there for a wee moment," one resident, Brian Cornish, told National Radio.

"Everybody out in the car park was flung on the ground, liquefaction started up in the car park, the building rocked like crazy, all the cars were bouncing up and down on their springs."

"You can't underestimate the ongoing stress this has created for people," Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said, while Prime Minister John Key described the impact as "frightening and disheartening" for the beleaguered residents.

The lives of people in New Zealand's second largest city have been shattered by a series of earthquakes that began in September last year when a tremor of 7.0 struck.

That quake caused widespread destruction but because it hit just before dawn there were few casualties.

But on February 22, a lunchtime 6.3 quake killed 181 people and reduced much of the downtown area, including the city's Anglican cathedral, to a pile of rubble, while in the suburbs thousands of homes were written off.

The cost of repairing the city has been put at NZ$20 billion ($15.5 billion), and even after the latest quakes Key said the government's resolve to rebuild Christchurch remains unchanged.

Smaller earthquakes in the 3.0-4.0 range have become an almost daily occurrence in Christchurch but only a few thousand from a population of more than 350,000 people are reported to have left the city.

Deputy mayor Ngaire Button said the latest quakes coming at the end of a difficult year, were likely to make more people consider moving elsewhere but she doubted many would go.

"Every aftershock we've had, there have been people who have felt that way, we can't blame them for that," she said.

"We do recover, though, and hopefully tomorrow we'll all be feeling a little bit better again and restoring our faith in the will to live and the will to live in Christchurch."

One woman, Susan Holmes, told TV3 she had had enough.

"It's beyond devastating, It's happened again. I'm sick of it," a sobbing Holmes said as she faced the prospect of clearing debris from her home for the fourth time in 16 months."

The US Geological Survey said a 5.8-magnitude quake struck at 1:58 pm (0058 GMT) Friday at a depth of less than five kilometres (three miles). It was followed 70 minutes later by a 5.9 tremor at about the same depth.

One person was rushed to hospital after being injured in a shopping mall and the National Crisis Management Centre was activated.

Telephone services were cut in many areas and electricity supplies disrupted, but police said there were no reports of other injuries or widespread damage.

The international airport and shopping malls were all evacuated and closed as a precautionary measure.

"I'm pretty sure we will be open again this afternoon," airport chief executive Jim Boult told Radio New Zealand.

Police spokesman Stephen Hill said a few buildings collapsed and people were also urged to stay away from hill suburbs because of a risk of rockfalls.

Scientists had warned last month of an increased probability that another powerful earthquake would hit Christchurch.

"We knew to expect aftershocks and one in the range around about 6.0 was expected over the next 12 months and that appears to have arrived," Parker said.

New Zealand sits on the so-called "Ring of Fire" the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year.

A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 jolted northeastern Japan off Fukushima prefecture on Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, although no damage was reported and a tsunami advisory for the area was lifted after no waves were sighted.--

Some highways were closed and high-speed bullet trains were halted after the quake, public broadcaster NHK said.

A 50 cm (20 inch) tsunami advisory was issued for the coastal areas of Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures that were severely damaged by the massive March 11 quake and tsunami, but was lifted about 35 minutes late.

Tokyo Electric Power Co said no abnormalities had been found at radiation monitoring posts at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, about 240 km (150 miles) northeast of Tokyo, or the nearby Daini plant, and that cooling operations at the damaged reactors were continuing.

Tohoku Electric Power said there were no abnormalities at its Onagawa nuclear power plant, which has been shut since the March disaster.

The focus of the tremor was off the coast of Fukushima, 20 km below the earth's surface, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

On March 11, the northeast coast was struck by a magnitude 9 earthquake, the strongest on record in Japan, and a massive tsunami that triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The disaster left about 20,400 dead or missing.

A magnitude 5.4 earthquake hit central Japan and injured seven people on Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of major damage.

The epicentre of the earthquake, which struck around 8:16 a.m. was in Nagano prefecture, about 120 km (75 miles) from Tokyo, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

No tsunami warning was issued after the quake, the agency said. The magnitude was revised down from a preliminary reading of 5.5.

Seven people were taken to hospital including those hurt from falling objects, but the injuries did not appear serious, an official at the local fire department said.

Japan accounts for about 20 percent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater.

On March 11, the northeast coast was struck by a magnitude 9 earthquake, the strongest quake in Japan on record, and a massive tsunami, which triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years, at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The disaster left up to 23,000 dead or missing.pcgdiverhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230550139455243381.post-61035935912024069132011-06-23T22:48:00.000-07:002011-06-23T22:53:57.586-07:00Huge 7.4 earthquake rocks Alaskan islandsPosted: 24 June 2011 1138 hrs

WASHINGTON: A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake shook Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands late on Thursday, but US officials did not issue a tsunami warning for the Pacific Ocean.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

A tsunami advisory issued by the US West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC) warned nearby coastal residents to "move immediately inland to higher ground and away from all harbors and inlets including those sheltered directly from the sea."

The quake on the Fox Islands -- 101 miles (163 kilometers) east of the tiny fishing port of Atka -- struck at 6:09 pm local time (0309 GMT), the US Geological Survey said in a statement.

"Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately," warned the WCATWC.

"Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts.

Do not stay in these structures," officials warned.

The quake struck more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) west of the major Alaskan city of Anchorage.

There were no reported fatalities. New Zealand's Civil Defence said 10 people suffered minor injuries in the quakes, with the strongest put at a magnitude of 6.0 at 2.20 p.m. (0220 GMT) local time.

Buildings were evacuated and infrastructure damaged across the city, still trying to recover from the Feb. 22 6.3 magnitude earthquake.

Monday's quake knocked the New Zealand dollar [NZD=D4 Unavailable () ] lower and was seen as another hurdle to rebuilding New Zealand's second largest city, likely encouraging the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to keep interest rates on hold for longer.

"You can draw a picture already of a significant earthquake," Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker told Radio New Zealand. A cloud of dust had enveloped the city after the quakes, he said.

Civil Defence said two people had been rescued from a damaged church. There were no further reports of trapped people.

As with the initial quake, Monday's aftershock sent boulders on the city's Port Hills tumbling towards houses. Parts of the eastern city which suffered the most damage in February's tremor suffered from flooding and liquefaction - where solid ground is turned into liquid by the force of the quake.

New Zealand's GNS Institute said the earthquakes were within the expected pattern after February's tremor and could well trigger fresh seismic activity.

"We would expect a number of aftershocks in the magnitude 4.0 to 5.0 range on the coming days and weeks," said Kelvin Berryman, GNS's Manager of Natural Hazards Research.

Prime Minister John Key said the new tremor would probably affect recovery efforts. "I acknowledge that this is a setback for Christchurch, but it does not lessen our resolve to rebuild," he told reporters in parliament.

Power Cuts, Infrastructure Damaged

Power was cut to about 50,000 houses and there were reports of damage to roads, buildings and water supplies.

A number of homes were likely to remain without power overnight, with the temperature likely to dip close to freezing.

Christchurch has experienced a number of strong earthquakes since a magnitude 7.1 quake struck the city on Sept 4 last year.

On Monday, five tremors of magnitude 4.3 or greater were recorded from 0029 GMT. A 5.5 tremor at 0100 GMT was believed to have caused most of the damage 10 km (6 miles) south-east of the city centre at a depth of 11 km.

Parts of the city centre have been closed since the Feb 22 quake. One of the city's tallest buildings, the Grand Chancellor Hotel, has been declared unstable and is being prepared for demolition.

The cost to rebuild Christchurch after the quakes has been estimated at around NZ$15 billion ($12.2 billion).

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand cut rates after the February tremor to a record-equalling low of 2.50 percent. But signs of recovery and an upbeat assessment from the bank at its review last week have led markets to price in rate rises from December.

However, markets would start to ease back on expectations of a rate hike, said Tim Kelleher, CBA's vice president of institutional banking and markets.

"It puts things like the rebuild of Christchurch further on delay," he said.pcgdiverhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230550139455243381.post-72099592996929083632011-05-21T09:31:00.001-07:002011-05-21T09:32:07.785-07:00Predicting the next big quakeBy Augustine Anthuvan | Posted: 21 May 2011 1033 hrs

SUMATRA: A Banyan tree - well over a hundred years old - located on Simeulue island, has survived two tsunamis - a big one in 1907 and the recent one caused by the 2004 earthquake.

And those who survived continue to tell the story of the 1907 "Semong", the local word for tsunami.

Kerry Sieh, Director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore, said: "The reason that villagers here were able to escape is because their grandparents, their great grandparents passed down to them the story of what happened in 1907.

"When the tsunami hit in 2004, the water tore all these buildings off their foundations, all you see are the slab foundations, so you can see it was pretty strong. It ripped them off their foundations leaving that little building, leaving the mosque...the wave was about four metres high.

"In 1907, the villagers said that (according to the story), the wave was about 10 metres or so...so they learnt from that event in 1907. That when you feel a big earthquake, you run to the hills as fast as you can. They did that and no one in this village died."

However, Mr Sieh said survival in earthquake prone areas would require looking beyond oral traditions.

"If you pass things down from generation to generation, say like the Pacific North West Indians in the United States did about the big eruption of Mount Mazama in Oregon, 6,000 years of oral tradition, that's wonderful but it's rare and in big cities people don't tend to have these oral traditions.

"What I'm submitting to you is...geology can tell you a lot if you're willing to pay attention to it. Now the Japanese were caught short in that regard recently, even though they were the most prepared people in the world for tsunamis and earthquakes. They didn't pay enough attention to the geological evidence."

Geological evidence of the 1907 earthquake at Simeulue Island is in the form of a coral head, that popped up 1.3 metres out of the water.

"In a sense that's a seismogram, it's a record of an old earthquake," said Mr Sieh.

An island off the west coast of Nias became 10 times its original size after the 2005 earthquake.

Data from coral reef upliftments on this "new" island are helping scientists to understand the patterns of great earthquakes on the Sunda megathrust.

Mr Sieh said: "The corals show and the Dutch records show there was a big earthquake in 1861. After 1861, the island rose but then it slowly subsided, as the megathrust carried the subducting slab down, so it went down...if it kept going down for a couple of decades, this whole island would have disappeared beneath the water.

"But just in time, the next one happened and the island grew again so now its subsiding again. It will subside a centimetre per year over the next century or so and then (it will) pop up come again."

Scientists are now able to forecast the location of where an impending large Sumatran earthquake might hit. But challenges remain. For one, authorities will have to translate that knowledge into planning and changing land use and finding meaningful ways to protect the majority of the people that are likely to be affected.

MANILA: An earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale hit the northern Philippines late Saturday, causing localised power outages as buildings swayed, but no casualties were reported, officials said.

The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 9:08pm (1308 GMT), was a few kilometres northeast of Ilagan, the capital of Isabela province, a duty officer with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology told AFP.

There were no reports of casualties around the city of about 131,000 more than an hour later, said Inspector Joel Dulin, the senior officer on duty at the signal department of the Isabela police.

"We have been contacting the other (Isabela) municipalities for any reports of damage or casualties, but so far it has been negative," he added.

"Power outages hit some parts of Ilagan," Dulin told AFP, and the provincial police headquarters there were among areas left without electricity.

Police officer Lito Piga, duty officer for the region's civil defence office located in Tuguegarao, 60 kilometres (37 miles) north of Ilagan, said the two-storey building swayed noticeably.

"I ran downstairs, but when we inspected the building for cracks later on we did not find any," he told AFP.

The US Geological Survey, which uses a different scale, said the quake had a magnitude of 5.3 and put its depth at 45 kilometres.

BEIJING - A 5.0-magnitude tremor hit the Chinese province of Sichuan on Sunday, the US Geological Survey said, three years after a giant quake left 87,000 dead or missing in the region.

The tremor struck at 3:05 pm (0705 GMT) at a depth of 15 kilometres (nine miles) with an epicentre 31 kilometres west of the city of Guangyuan, the USGS said. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

An 8.0-magnitude quake rocked Sichuan and parts of neighbouring Shaanxi and Gansu provinces on May 12, 2008, killing tens of thousands and flattening swathes of the province.

China's government issued a plan in September 2008 to rebuild 51 quake-struck counties covering 130,000 square kilometres (50,200 square miles), the official Xinhua news agency said.

Mu Hong, a vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planning agency, said last week that work on 95 percent of the reconstruction projects in the plan had been completed.

China has spent nearly 800 billion yuan ($123 billion) to rebuild in the region, senior officials said last week.

KABUL: A 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan's mountainous Hindu Kush region near the Pakistani border early Sunday, US seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The quake hit at 01:37am (2107 GMT Saturday) some 75 kilometres (46 miles) south-southeast of Feyzabad and 256 kilometres from the capital Kabul, the United States Geological Survey said in a report.

Its epicentre was 207 kilometres deep, and was 140 kilometres from Khorugh in Tajikistan and 236 kilometres from Mingora in Pakistan, USGS said.

Northern Afghanistan and Pakistan are frequently hit by earthquakes, especially around the Hindu Kush range near the collision of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.

A 7.6-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan in October 2005 killed 74,000 people and displaced 3.5 million.

TOKYO: A 6.2-magnitude earthquake on Saturday hit off the coast of northeastern Japan, still reeling from the massive March 11 quake and tsunami, according to the US Geological Survey.

The quake struck at 8:35 am (2325 GMT Friday), 59 kilometres (36 miles) northeast of the Pacific coast city of Iwaki at a depth of nearly 38 kilometres, the USGS said.

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties and no tsunami warning was issued.

The northeastern coast of Japan's main Honshu island was ravaged by a 9.0-magnitude quake and monster tsunami on March 11, leaving 24,525 people dead or missing, according to the latest count by the National Police Agency.

JAKARTA: A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck beneath the sea between Australia's Christmas Island and the Indonesian island of Java on Saturday, US seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was immediately issued.

There were no immediate reports of damage from the quake, which struck at 4:43 am (2143 GMT Friday) 224 kilometres (139 miles) from Christmas Island and 303 kilometres from Tasikmalaya city in Java, at a relatively shallow depth of 12.5 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where the meeting of continental plates causes high seismic activity, and is frequently hit by earthquakes.

SAN JOSE : A 6.0-magnitude earthquake shook Costa Rica on Friday, alarming residents of the Central American country and causing minor damage but no known injuries, authorities said.

The quake struck at around 4:47 pm (2247 GMT), 25 kilometres (16 miles) northwest of San Jose, according to the US Geological Survey, which gave its magnitude as 6.0.

It was felt with particular intensity in San Jose's western Escazu and Santa Ana neighbourhoods, upscale areas where many diplomats and foreign business executives have their homes.

"It broke all the glasses in my bar," said an Argentine resident who lives on the sixth floor of a building in Escazu.

Residents in the area around the San Jose International Airport reported power outages that impacted traffic lights during the daily rush hour.

Cellphone service was disrupted in some areas, and some small landslides were reported on the road connecting the capital to the Pacific coast.

"It felt very strong. Some of the tiles on the houses in the condominium fell. People ran outside, frightened," said Carolina Diaz, a Chilean who lives in the centre of the city.

Local media reported that the shock waves were felt along the country's Pacific coast, and less strongly on the Caribbean side of the country.

The quake occurred at a depth of 70 kilometres (43.5 miles).

Juan Segura, the director of Costa Rica's Volcanology and Seismology Observatory, said it was caused by the impact of the Coco and Caribe plates.

He said it was the most serious earthquake in Costa Rica since a 6.2-magnitude quake in January 2009 that killed 23 people and destroyed dozens of houses in Volcan Poas, a tourist area 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital.

That quake was the strongest to hit the popular ecotourism and beach holiday destination in 150 years.

The Costa Rican Red Cross appealed for calm, and urged the public "to remain on alert in case of aftershocks".

LORCA, Spain - A magnitude 5.1 quake killed at least eight people in southern Spain on Wednesday, sending historic buildings crashing down as panicked residents fled for their lives.

Eight people perished in the deadliest tremor in Spain in more than five decades, a spokeswoman for the regional government of Murcia said, revising down an earlier toll of 10 dead without explanation.

The quake collapsed fronts of buildings in the southeastern town of Lorca and ripped open walls, which slumped into the streets.

Witnesses reported many injuries.

A church clocktower smashed to the ground and narrowly missed one television reporter as he conducted an interview in the town on Spanish public broadcaster TVE. A bronze bell lay in the rubble.

Fearful residents including families with children gathered outside with blankets as night fell. About 10,000 people were evacuated from the cordoned-off city-centre.

"We are calling on shopping centres in the area to give them water, food and blankets," Lorca mayor Francisco Jodar said.

Television images showed shocked families with children gathering in squares and playgrounds, some weeping and hugging as they sought safety.

Masonry blanketed streets and a line of parked cars lay crushed under tonnes of rubble. A corpse lay in the street covered in a rescue blanket.

The tremor struck at 6:47 pm (1647 GMT) with a depth of 10 kilometres (six miles) and could be felt as far away as the capital Madrid. It hit nearly two hours after a smaller 4.4-magnitude quake.

Among the dead were a pregnant woman and two children, said regional newspaper La Verdad. One woman lost her life when a modern three-storey building collapsed, it said.

A doctor said many people had been hurt.

"I had just finished attending to a patient. We all went out into the streets and had to treat people, some with serious inuries, many unconscious, because the ambulances could not reach them. They took more than 40 minutes," the doctor, identified only as Virtudes, told the online edition of El Pais.

"They just took away a man who had a wall fall on top of him."

New-born babies were evacuated from the town's Rafael Mendez hospital for fear it could collapse, the paper said. "The stairway was totally open. The roof of the building opposite and the medical centre fell off," one of the evacuated mothers told the paper.

Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was informed of the disaster while he was in a meeting with King Juan Carlos, the premier's office said in a statement.

The king and prime minister then spoke to the president of the Murcia region and Zapatero immediately ordered the deployment of emergency military units to the area.

Earthquake damages were concentrated in the towns of Lorca and Totana, which lie in one of the most active seismic zones of the Iberian peninsula, but also spread as far as Albacete and Velez-Rubio in Almeria, the premier's office said.

Residents described confusion in the town of 92,700 inhabitants about 70 kilometres (45 miles) southeast of Murcia. Lorca traces its history back more than 2,000 years and boasts many medieval monuments.

"This is chaotic. All the ground is full of rubble," resident Jesus Ruiz told the paper.

"There are cracked buildings and all the ground is full of rubble and cornices. I saw them sewing up a child's head," said Ruiz, who was at work in an industrial zone when the quake struck.

Cristina Selva, 32, said she was playing with her two-year-old daughters.

"The building moved and I was was very scared for the girls. I took them and the three of us got under the table to wait for it to pass," she said.

"It was the longest 20 seconds of my life."

It was the deadliest earthquake in Spain since April 19, 1956 when a tremor wrecked buildings and killed 11 people in Albolote, a town in the southern Spanish province of Granada.

Ironically, it struck on the same day many residents stayed away from work in the Italian capital Rome fearing a supposed prophecy of a devastating tremor by a self-taught Italian seismologist who died in 1979.

JAKARTA : A 6.1-magnitude earthquake hit off the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Friday, government seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warning was issued.

The quake hit at a depth of 35 kilometres (21 miles) at 0646 GMT, around 75 kilometres southeast of Gorontalo city, said Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency.

"The quake's epicentre is on the sea but there's no tsunami potential," Indra, an agency official who uses only one name, told AFP, adding that no damage had been reported so far.

The US Geological Survey measured the quake at magnitude 5.8 and said it had a depth of 85 kilometres.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where the meeting of continental plates causes high seismic activity, and is frequently hit by earthquakes.

A strong and shallow earthquake hit the eastern Indonesian island of Sulawesi early Monday, officials said. There were no immediate reports of injuries, but several homes were damaged.

The U.S. Geological Survey put the preliminary magnitude of the quake at 6.2 and said it was centered 45 miles (75 kilometers) southeast of the town of Kendari at a depth of 6 miles (9 kilometers).

Residents in the town said they felt the earth shaking violently beneath their feet.

Several houses were damaged, though it was not immediately clear how badly.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake hit at 3:16pm (0416 GMT) at a depth of 81 kilometres and centered 171 kilometres southeast of the capital Honiara.

Residents on the mainland said they felt a sharp jolt but emergency services said there was no immediate evidence of damage although reports were still being sought from outlying islands.

The Solomons lie in the "Pacific ring of fire", a highly active earthquake zone, and regularly experiences strong tremors.

WELLINGTON: A strong 6.6-magnitude undersea earthquake hit off the northeast coast of New Zealand on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued a local tsunami warning but said there was no threat of a widespread destructive tsunami.

The quake struck at 1:03 am (1303 Monday GMT) around 550 kilometres (350 miles) east of Auckland, USGS said, with an epicentre 90 kilometres (55 miles) below the surface.

USGS had earlier measured the magnitude at 6.4.

The epicentre lay southwest of the Kermadec Islands, which lie around 1,000 kilometres northeast of New Zealand.

New Zealand sits on the so-called Pacific "ring of fire", a zone of frequent tectonic activity, and is often hit by earthquakes.

The country's second-largest city Christchurch was devastated by a 6.3-magnitude quake in February, which claimed 181 lives and followed a more powerful but less destructive 7.1 quake last September.

SYDNEY: Australia's Barrier Reef district was rocked by an unusual 5.2-magnitude earthquake Saturday, but laid-back locals said they had barely felt a thing.

The tremor struck about 3.30pm local time (0530 GMT) about 124 kilometres southeast of Townsville at a depth of 10 kilometres, according to the United States Geological Survey.

A low rumbling was felt at Magnetic Island, a 20-minute ferry ride from the mainland and part of the Great Barrier Reef, according to a hotelier at the All Seasons resort, where it briefly interrupted a wedding on the beach.

"Some of the guests felt a bit of a shake, nothing much. It wasn't major, no-one fell over and nothing was damaged," she said.

"It was just like a shudder, my office backs onto the laundry and I said 'Oh, that was a big spin cycle.' It hasn't stopped the world up here.

"We are alive and well at the moment and please God that's how we are going to stay."

There were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami alert was issued.

In Townsville, a tropical city renowned for its easygoing lifestyle, residents said they hadn't felt a thing.

"Look, we're pretty laid-back around here and it'd take something more than that to shake us up!" a publican at the local Molly Malone's Irish Bar told AFP.

"As far as I know there's been no sign of anything like that, no vibrations or nothing. Is this a practical joke?"

Australia rarely experiences earthquakes, its land mass being some distance from the boundary of the Indo-Australian tectonic plate.

WELLINGTON: A strong 5.2-magnitude aftershock rocked the quake-shattered New Zealand city of Christchurch Saturday and cut power to several areas, but there were no immediate reports of damage, officials said.

New Zealand's second largest city remains devastated following a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in February which claimed 181 lives, and followed a stronger, but less destructive 7.1 quake last September.

The latest tremor hit at 5:49pm (0549GMT) and was centred 16 kilometres (10 miles) west of the city at a depth of nine kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.

Power was cut in several areas of the city, but Roger Sutton, chief executive of power company Orion, said this was because the substations had automatically shut down when the quake hit.

He said that electricity supplies would be restored within an hour as soon as checks were carried out.

A worker of a textile company injured his hand severely and was unable to work for a considerable period. He was the sole breadwinner of his family. An unfortunate incident shattered his family who had to spend their minimal savings on his expensive treatment. The treatment costs were beyond their reach and they had to borrow from others and were heavily indebted.
Imagine such an incident takes place in your organization! First, you will be deemed liable for your employee's safety. Secondly, it will be considered your duty to support your workforce financially. Supporting them in such a way not only enables you to retain them back but also helps in the maintenance of your company's reputation in the industry.
Here are some of the common risks your employees might face along with their suitable solutions:
1. Natural Death
The death of any employee can be very unfortunate not only for the family members but also for the employer as he would not be able to reap the benefits of the employee's dedicated work.
An employer is liable to support the family members of the employee at this crucial time. However, he might not be able to do so at the cost of his business.
If he tries to avoid helping in such cases, it can also ruin the company's reputation in the eyes of other employees and redeem the employer's status to someone who is selfish
Group term insurance offers financial coverage to employees and acts as an ideal way for companies to reinforce their bond with their manpower. Covering all the employees under a single policy, this plan pays a sum assured to family members upon the death of the employee.
2. Accident, Partial or Total Disability:
According to Government data, over 400 people were killed in road accidents in 2015. India's roads are termed as unsafe based on such tragic statistics and the people who meet with accidents could be your valued employees!
If an employee meets with an accident while in a personal vehicle, he can be rendered unable to work for a considerable period due to hospitalization.
Even though the employer is not at fault, he is expected to financially help the employee in such cases and pay for the treatment costs.
If an employee falls from the stairs and fractured his limb, it can render him without employment for a considerable period.
Disability can also be as severe as rendering someone unemployed for a whole lifetime. Such accidents are more common in businesses like construction.
Even though the employer might have taken safety precautions, no one can control such incidents beyond a limit.
An employer can reimburse the employee and his family by providing them the salary for the period the employee remains unable to work.
Vocational training in a different kind of job can also be offered to employees who would not be able to continue the same line of work.
Disability of contractual employees can be covered under the Workmen Compensation Insurance Policy.
To combat with issues, like accidents and disability, a company should buy a personal accident insurance policy which will cover all the employees under a single policy. In case of death, accident or disability of an employee, the insurer will make a payment to the employee or his/her family, which can be used to meet different financial requirements.
3. Healthcare Expenses
To reduce attrition rates, it is necessary that the employees maintain their health
However, it is often seen that employees avoid regular health check-ups to save precious money.
In case, they are aware that they will have the back-up from the employer, they will not avoid such check-ups which will enable detection of any critical illnesses at early stages.
As healthcare costs are skyrocketing, any medical emergency can dent a hole in an employer's pocket.
A company can buy a group health insurance to cover all its employees under a single cover. In case any employee is hospitalised, the insurer will bear hospitalisation expenses. Every insurer has a long list of network hospitals in which an employer can go and avail cashless treatment. In case the treatment takes place in a non-network hospital, the insurer will reimburse medical bills.
4. Professional Liability
The scope of professional liability increases for organisations like hospitals, law firms, and the engineering companies, where professionals are deemed responsible for their decisions taken in a professional position.
According to a recently published study, it is estimated that legal proceedings accusing doctors of negligence have seen a rise of 400% in the Supreme Court. Although only about 10- 15% of the cases have seen doctors being found guilty, the remaining 85% medicos nonetheless had to incur the cost of defending themselves.
It is better for such organisations to protect their and their employees' reputation with the help of professional indemnity insurance. This insurance plan indemnifies the policyholder in case any legal suit is filed against him/her. It offers a wide cover against various types of risks and losses, including legal expenses.
5. Travel Risks
Those organisations that require their employees to frequently travel due to the official purpose need to protect them from the risk like
loss of baggage,
Loss of personal belongings
Medical expenses required in case of accidents
Medical evacuation
A company can buy a group travel insurance which will offer coverage to its employees against unforeseen travel perils, like loss of passport, baggage, etc.; that may arise during the journey.
Some mishaps are beyond one's control. However, employers can help countering these risks by availing the group insurance schemes suitable for each type of risk. These policies not only insure employees against various perils, they also ensure peace of mind for employers as they know they can fall back on their insurance policy in case any issue arises. Overall, it is a win-win situation for both.

A House of Commons Public Bill Committee has been set up in order to give detailed scrutiny to the Investigatory Powers Bill that was unveiled on 1 March 2016 and given its second reading on 15 March. A good deal of written evidence to that committee was published last week.
I was the first witness to be examined by the Public Bill Committee, on 24 March 2016.  A transcript of my 25-minute evidence has been published on the Committee's website, and most of it is captured on video.
Later on 24 March, I submitted written evidence to the Public Bill Committee in order to expand upon some of the points touched on in my oral evidence and to raise some new points. That written evidence is published here for the first time.
My written evidence of 24 March 2016 cross-refers also to my written evidence of January 2016 to the Joint Committee that sat between November 2015 and February 2016 to look at the Investigatory Powers Bill in draft.  That evidence (which supplemented my oral evidence of 2 December 2015) set out the conclusions to which I came and did not come in my June 2015 report, A Question of Trust, on the operational case for bulk powers. An account of the scrutiny of the draft Bill, with links to my evidence on it, is here.
The documents of chief relevance to the Bill are collected here.

King Fahd Causeway, Bahrain
The 25km-long King Fahd causeway links the Kingdom of Bahrain with the Eastern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Crossing the Gulf of Bahrain, in the Persian Gulf, the causeway starts in Saudi Arabia at Al-Aziziyyah, south of Alkhobar, and extends up to Al-Jasra, west of Manama in Bahrain. It comprises two segments, a longer bridge from Khobar to Nasan Island in Bahrain and a shorter stretch from Nasan Island to the main island of Bahrain.
The $1.2bn project was officially launched to public in 1986. On an average, it serves about 45,000 vehicles a day that increases to about 60,000 vehicles during weekends. It was used by 17.7 million passengers in 2008.
The causeway was built by Dutch contractor Ballast Nedam and financed entirely by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and King Fahd Causeway Authority (KFCA) is the operator.
A $5m expansion to the causeway was announced in July 2010. The expansion aims to increase the departure and arrival lanes on both sides of the causeway.
King Fahd causeway design
The causeway is a four-lane road featuring two roadways. Each roadway is 11.6m wide and includes two lanes running in opposite directions. It features a curb for emergency parking.
There are five bridges, totalling 12.43km in length, along the route of the entire causeway. The first three bridges measure 934m, 2,034m and 5,194m in length and form part of the Saudi side. The Bahraini side of the causeway contains two bridges measuring 3,334m and 934m in length. The bridges are interconnected by islands and dams. Approximately 12.5km of the causeway has been constructed as a dam.
The causeway also comprises seven embankments extending 12.57km in length. A 660,000m² border station at embankment no. 4 is the largest among all. Designed as two connected islands, the border station includes two mosques, two 65m high tower restaurants, buildings of KFCA and other government directorates and two coastguard towers. The island on the west side is designated to Saudi Arabia while that on the east side is designated to Bahrain.
The expansion project is part of a larger SAR1.07bn ($284.8m) causeway development project plan that aims to increase the number of lanes dramatically. The project will involve the construction of two 400,000m² artificial islands, one on either side of the causeway.
Approximately SAR998m will be used for the construction of the islands, associated infrastructure, buildings and other facilities. A waiting yard with a capacity for 400 trucks will also be constructed at either end of the causeway.
The expansion will add seven new departure lanes and five new arrival lanes, bringing the total number of departure and arrival lanes to 17 and 18 respectively. A new commercial centre is currently being renovated on the Bahraini side. The centre will include a number of restaurants, coffee shops, a grocery shop, telephone stalls and a shop for the travelers to meet. It is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2011.
A health centre to accommodate an emergency room and an ambulance is also under construction on the Bahrain side. A similar health centre will be constructed on the Saudi side.
At the Bahraini entrance, a security checkpoint will be installed. Utilities including washrooms and mosques will also be expanded on both sides of the causeway as part of the project.
The expansion will increase the passenger handling capacity of the causeway to 100 million a year. The construction is expected to begin in 2012 with scheduled completion by December 2015.
The causeway was constructed between 1982 and 1986. It involved the installation of over 500 pre-stressed concrete cylinder piles beneath and along the causeway. The piles are 3.5m in diameter and have been installed and grouted into drilled sockets. In order to suit the geotechnical conditions, the length of the piles was changed from bent to bent.
Approximately 350,000m² of concrete was used along with 47,000t of reinforced steel. To avoid corrosion of the reinforced steel a blend of blast furnace, slag and portland cement was used. A low water to cement ratio was obtained using a high-range water reducing admixture. In the splash zone, the piles were coated with epoxy.
The dam construction involved use of five million tons of rock and broken stone and approximately ten million cubic feet of sand, extracted from the seabed.

Our first big frost of the season hit last night (okay, so it was really last week–it takes me awhile to edit and hit "publish") so my garden was looking pretty pathetic. As the mist lifted this morning, the withered, blackened stalks of my few tender things were shivering in the cold, begging for a little bit more blanky. There were plenty of redwood leaves from the windstorm last week, so I spent some time making sure everyone was well covered.
I also went down to the veggie garden to check on my "fedge" and the potatoes I finally planted last week.
We discovered and reclaimed the veggie garden area so late in the summer last year, this is going to be my first whack at spring crops in my very own garden. I'm going to be testing 'Music' garlic, 'La Ratte' fingerling potatoes and 'Yukon Gold' potatoes. Because I'm planning to reorganize a little to give tomatoes their best chance, I was kind of out of space until I decided to just plant the potatoes along one side of the pathway. I've already mulched the snot out of these paths, so once I managed to carve out a narrow trench for my seed potatoes, it was just a matter of letting everything fall back into place. We'll see how they do!
While I was down in the garden, I laid out some newspaper I've been collecting, then spread a mix of one part ashes from the fire pit and two parts aged chicken manure from the neighbor's chicken pen. I figured I needed a few "greens" since I had pulled most of the remaining squash and tomato plants out of the bed already. So I pulled up some of the stinging nettles that are always pushing in at the edges of the garden (I've been reading up a bit about biodynamic gardening, which recommends nettles at certain times. I have no idea if now is the right time, but my nettles just don't wait.)
Then I covered the whole shooting match with a few inches of dried redwood leaves.
When I was done, it was hard to see where the bed ended and the path began. In this picture you can see a bit of the "fedge" in the background. Still looking green, but no growth yet.
Here's a quick snap of my cut log border. Notice that even though this piece of wood was cut about six months or more ago, *it is starting to sprout baby redwoods*. You just can't stop them, they're like bamboo.
A neighbor was ripping out her roses and offered them for free, so I stuck some in near the grape vine. Even in this weather, they're still doggedly trying to bloom.

Bad Religion's 'The Dissent of Man' and singer Greg Graffin's 'Anarchy Evolution' Out Today; Do a Meet and Greet This Saturday
Bad Religion is now 30 years old, and the band is still creating mind blowing music. Today they drop The Dissent of Man (stream it in its entirety here), along with Bad Religion singer/author/professor Greg Graffin's new book, Anarchy Evolution.
Most people know that Graffin has a PhD from Cornell University and teaches evolution at the University of California at Los Angeles--Anarchy Evolution the connection of art and science, and how he studied evolution to provide a framework for his world. It's about Graffin's coming of age as an artist and man of science, and it's really fascinating. (Even though I'm only in the first 10 pages.)
Graffin will be doing a free book/CD-signing, a Q&A and Meet & Greet this Saturday, Oct. 2nd, 7 p.m. in West Hollywood at Book Soup, 8818 W. Sunset Blvd., LA, (310) 659-3110).
Books will be available at Book Soup for purchase; CDs can be purchased at Amoeba or other indie retailers.

I loved this hotel! I was feeling sorry for myself, having to spend mother's day 3,000 miles away from my son, and at a crummy hotel down the street. The clean lines of the hotel caught my eye as I walked to the Pier, so I stopped in. The hotel staff could not have been nicer - the manager on duty gave me a great deal on a room, an early check-in and a lovely card and a box of fancy nuts was waiting for me. The room was beautiful, spacious and modern. Free wi-fi and a nice pool were bonuses. The hotel is getting a restaurant, but there is no shortage of places to eat nearby, and there is a delivery service. What makes this hotel stand out, though, was the attentive and personal client service.

Discovering Your Soul's Compass with Joan Borysenko and Gordon Dveirin
Joan Borysenko, PhD and Gordon Dveirin, EdD
February 18–20, 2011
What guides our soul's evolution and how do we tune into the guidance? How do we align with God, or the ground of being, and evolve from the repetition of karma to the freedom of dharma? And how does guidance flow into action that helps us co-create an awakened, compassionate world? By exploring these questions through lecture, meditation, writing and group discussion, we can align with the source of all being to dissolve blocks that prevent us from recognizing guidance and enable us to develop clarity, confidence and compassion.
Joan Borysenko, PhD
Joan Borysenko, PhD, is a medical scientist, psychologist, spiritual guide and one of the pioneering voices in the global mind/body/spirit movement. Author of fourteen books and numerous audio programs and guided meditation CD's, she is also co-founder of the Claritas Interspiritual Mentor Training Program, a journalist, a radio show co-host, and a world-renowned speaker on integral medicine and spirituality.
Gordon Dveirin, EdD
Gordon Dveirin, EdD, is an organization and human development consultant, spiritual educator and co-founder of the Claritas Institute of Interspiritual Inquiry. He is co-author of two books, Saying Yes to Change and Your Soul's Compass: What is Spiritual Guidance?

Happy Birthday Reece
WNT Mar 6, 2011
How many young girls would like the entire U.S. Women's National Team to come to their birthday party? We're thinking a lot. But if your mom is the captain of the U.S. team, it's a bit easier to pull off. Unfortunately, Reece Rampone can't yet appreciate the awesomeness as she just turned one year old today, but the players certainly enjoyed themselves at dinner, wearing party hats with tables covered in balloons and plenty of Funfetti Cake (mom brought the mix from the states and the hotel baked them up) to be had by all. Reece Rampone seemed to be enjoying the moment as well, posing for pictures, stuffing cake in and around her mouth and throwing around her gifts on the floor after dinner, much to the amusement of the players. Still, one day Reece can say she celebrated her first birthday in Portugal with the U.S. Women's Soccer Team and that'll be pretty cool. Her mom will have the pictures to prove it (she took about 100).
Yeah, that's a Hello Kitty birthday hat. Reece celebrates with her big sis Rylie

Now for some cons:
There is plenty more that could be said of the subject, however, I chose this house due to its versatility and functionality. This plan isn't the most exciting on paper, but it's an economical design that could be spiced up with nice finish materials like paint, molding, flooring, and countertops.
