Many of those sensors have also been equipped with global-positioning system add-ons, which can determine the rate at which a quake has caused a fault to slip. Scientists in the Bay Area have also dug several deep trenches that expose rock layers that have been deformed by quakes - that helps give them a better sense of how often earthquakes hit and when the next one may come. Scientists still can't predict earthquakes the way they might predict a hurricane, but thanks to this richer data, they are getting a little...

Originally built in 1740, the 19-room hotel was taken over last year by Swedish hotelier Jenny Ljungberg, whose family owns Stockholm's rock-'n'-roll-cool Lydmar Hotel. Ljundberg has transformed the Maidstone's interiors, replacing dated nautical motifs with a contemporary Nordic-inspired aesthetic, filled with natural light and brightly patterned furnishings. A pair of Swedish and American chefs creates both Scandinavian and Yankee classics, and bikes are available for rides to the nearby...
