La mayor erupción volcánica jamás acaecida en la Tierra
2008-06-23 09:10:00 En 1980, el monte Saint Helens entró en erupción con una energía equivalente a una bomba de Hiroshima cada segundo y expulsó 1,2 Km³ de lava y material piroclástico. En 1815, una explosión mucho mayor, la del volcán Tambora, liberó 160 Km³ y provocó un año sin verano. Son 2 de las erupciones más conocidas de los últimos siglos, pero ni mucho menos las más potentes que ha habido. Ese honor pertenece al supervolcán situado en la Caldera de la Garita, que hace 27 millones de años expulsó 5.000 Km³ de material y cambió el clima de la Tierra. A diferencia de los volcanes clásicos con forma de cono que todos hemos vistos cientos de veces en documentales, películas y libros, los supervolcanes son estructuras planas de proporciones gigantescas que resultan prácticamente indetectables. Antes de entrar en erupción, la presión va aumentando en la cámara de magma hasta que el techo de la misma acaba por ceder y se rompe, permitiendo de esta manera que la lava salga impulsada a gran velocidad h...
Some PR Firm Hates Mayor Dellums
2008-06-18 08:09:00 Ok, how does one explain an unprecedented KTVU video report on Mayor Ron Dellums spending and "high life" habits as leader of our City? Hey, Jerry Brown's not cheap either, but he never got that kind of coverage at all. Someone's out to get Dellums, and what's blocking his ability to recover his image is the fact that he does not believe in working with image-makers, the press, or PR people. That's a fact, folks. Dellums' staff has asked him to "get help" in this area, but he's resistant to the whole deal. Now, I think someone sees Dellums as vulnerable to bad press, so they piled it on.But the simple fact is that Jerry Brown also "lived it up" you just didn't read about it much, or cared. Mayor Elihu Harris didn't do that. It's not his style and he really cares about the office and what people would think.

Austin Board of REALTORS® Propose Alternative to Mayor Wynn’s â€Â
2008-06-06 01:38:00 Austin Board of REALTORS® sent an email alert today to propose a change to Mayor Wynn's Climate Protection Plan. So far, it looks like REALTORS® agree with most aspects of the plan. Like most solutions, there's a few areas of contention. Here's what the email alert outlined: What's this about? In early 2007, Austin Mayor Will Wynn released the Climate Protection Plan with the goal of making Austin the "greenest" city in the country, [including] the "Proposed Point of Sale Ordinance"….The city's proposal would require that homeowners upgrade their homes and obtain a "Certificate of Compliance" from the city before they're able to sell it. We oppose this plan for several reasons: Affordability - This type of out-of-pocket expense will prevent many homeowners from having the option to sell their home, particularly if they need to sell due to a difficult financial situation. In addition, the cost will inevitably be passed on to hom...

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley Asks People to Turn in the Guns
2008-05-12 05:18:00 Mayor Richard M. Daley was unable to attend the town hall meeting, but he gave his response to guns via video: "I ask everyone in the City of Chicago -- turn in the guns. Get rid of the guns. Secondly, if we can ban smoking in every restaurant in Chicago, why can't we as citizens, not only of Chicago but of America, say we don't need guns in our community? Automatic weapons, AK47s, .357 Magnums are going to solve our issues? If you think a cigarette is dangerous, realize how dangerous a weapon is on our community. It is about time that you tell your Senator or Congressman. It is about time we ban these weapons."
