...feel implicated in the attacks carried out ostensibly in the name of their religion. Yet there is also anger - anger at the ignorance of some who view all Muslims as potential terrorists and, most bitter of all, at fellow Muslims who excuse or espouse terrorism. The London blasts exposed fault lines, not only between different ethnic identities but between generations and economic classes. In an effort to find a common front, 22 Muslim leaders and scholars issued a joint statement last week. They called the London attacks "utterly criminal, totally reprehensible, and absolutely un-Islamic." Sir Iqbal Sacranie, who heads...
Finally. After all these years, we know what drove Willy Wonka to his career as a master chocolatier; it was all his father's fault. Dad was a maniacal dentist who completely forbade candy...
...Rodriguez, Colono’s cousin, outside a Cambridge pizza parlor on April 12, 2003, as he was walking home after a night of drinking. A fight erupted between Pring-Wilson and Colono and his cousin, with each of the two sides later claiming the other was at fault. Pring-Wilson fatally stabbed Colono during the altercation...
...scientists are trying to gauge how last year's Parkfield quake affected the broader San Andreas system. Stress has been off-loaded to the section of the fault directly south of the rupture, and that has at least the potential to set the stage for a larger upheaval. In 1857, for example, a moderate temblor at Parkfield was followed within hours by a major earthquake that started in the vicinity of Cholame, 15 miles away, and ripped south for 225 miles. In some places the ground moved more than...
Most geophysicists don't believe sufficient stress has accumulated along this section of the fault to power another 1857-style spasm. That one approached a magnitude of 7.9, making it even stronger than the 1906 quake that devastated San Francisco. Still, experts acknowledge, it's not inconceivable that the next moderately strong shake-up at Parkfield could lead to the unzipping of a longer section of the fault, spawning a quake of, say, magnitude 7. If that happens, SAFOD would provide scientists with more than they bargained for--a near ringside seat at the start...
