Is Hydro Fracking Causing Earthquakes?
2012-01-24 15:57:00 A seismologist with Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y. claims that the recent earthquake near Youngstown, Ohio was caused by the injection of fracking wastewater near a fault line. There's no shortage of controversy about the effects of hydro fracking, but can

Earthquakes, Water Pollution and Increased Greenhouse Gas Emissions? Fracki
2011-12-21 20:45:00 The last decade has seen a sustained campaign by the hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking") industry against its critics, as the fracking industry in the U.S. alone was worth an estimated $76 billion in 2010 and is projected to grow to $231 billion in 2036 if only those pesky environmentalists can be sidelined. According to Washington’s energy Information Administration, production of shale gas in the United States in 2010 totalled 4.87 trillion cubic feet (tcf) compared with 0.39 tcf only a decade earlier. The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has already transformed North America’s natural gas market in less than half a decade. In 2000 shale gas was 1 percent of America’s gas supplies; today it is 25 percent. . . . → Read More: Earthquakes, Water Pollution and Increased Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

Earthquakes!
2011-12-13 17:45:00 I found this video that does a surprising comparison of the relative amounts of energy released in some well-known earthquakes. One full step on the 'Richter Scale' is equivalent to a factor of about 31.6 in intensity; two full steps is a factor of 1000. The video begins with the rather small 5.8 m
U.S. Government Confirms Link Between Earthquakes and Hydraulic Fracturing
2011-11-10 15:53:00 On 5 November an earthquake measuring 5.6 rattled Oklahoma and was felt as far away as Illinois. Until two years ago Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year, but in 2010, 1,047 quakes shook the state. Why? In Lincoln County, where most of this past weekend’s seismic incidents were centered, there are 181 injection wells, according to Matt Skinner, an official from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the agency which oversees oil and gas production in the state. Cause and effect? The practice of injecting water into deep rock formations causes earthquakes, both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Geological Survey have concluded. The U.S. natural gas industry pumps a mixture of water and assorted chemicals deep underground to . . . → Read More: U.S. Government Confirms Link Between Earthquakes and Hydraulic Fracturing

Oklahoma Earthquakes: Fracking or Faultline?
2011-11-07 00:31:00 I am bemused to see that there is a moderate earthquake in Oklahoma making the news.

This is a “hot” item, since the oil shales of North Dakota and Pennsylvania are potential “black gold” that will rewrite the ...
Fire 2 Earthquakes 2 - Recap and Ratings
2011-05-29 18:59:00 Another day, another draw. With the season roughly one-third of the way complete the Fire have managed only one MLS victory. That in and of itself isn't the most frustrating part of the campaign to date. The gnawing part is that the Fire really haven't played all that badly as a whole thoughout the first eleven matches. They've just played badly enough not to win. They've generated enough offensively to rank higher and improve their standing in the Eastern Conference but defensive issues continue to sink any hopes of doing anything but tie. It seems that just about every mistake or lapse is resulting in goals for the opposition. Last week Philadelphia scored two improbable goals and this weekend San...

Fire 3 Earthquakes 2 (PKs) - US Open Cup
2011-05-25 13:33:00 The Fire broke what seemed like a season long winless drought with a dramatic victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. The victor was decided after an additional thirty minutes of play and six penalty kick rounds. Daniel Paladini converted the deciding kick as Scott Sealy missed his chance for San Jose. The victory ensured the Fire a place in the US Open Cup tournament for thirteenth consecutive season. After going down 2-0 at half time the Fire clawed back to tie the match on goals from Orr Barouch and Yamith Cuesta. Say what you will about the results but this team does continue to fight in every match. "I feel very proud of this group because they left it all...
Fire 3 Earthquakes 0 - Game Recap and Player Ratings
2010-09-30 07:10:00 The Fire's passing was sharper than it has been all season and the end result was their biggest margin of victory this year. A 3-0 win with a more agressive line up while eliminating some of the repetitive errors made throughout the first 24 matches should create some higher spirits heading into Dallas on Saturday. San Jose had a few chances in the first half but the Fire responded well and took the lead on Steven Kinney's header in the 40th minute. The goal marked a reversal from one of the more disturbing trends this season as the Fire finally managed to score a late goal. It also ended a club record string of 401 minutes without a goal.

Fire v Earthquakes - Match Preview
2010-09-29 04:30:00 San Jose is still fighting for their playoff lives and the Fire are just hoping to salvage something from 2010 before some difficult decisions will need to be made. The pill becomes harder to swallow after acknowleding the fact that former Fire 'keeper Jon Busch is now the main man in goal for the Earthquakes and Tim Ward is the starting right back. Busch has started 12 of their last 13 matches and six in a row since Joe Cannon fractured his ankle in training. The back four is completed with Chris Leitch on the left and the pairing of Brandon McDonald and Jason Hernandez in the middle. Their midfield was shuffled around a bit with new acquisitions in July...

THE SIMILARITIES OF EARTHQUAKES, MARKETING AND KNOWLEDGE
2008-08-01 02:00:00 Marketing. knowledge and earthquakes have a lot in common. By the time you model and analyze the data the event has already happened. Working after the fact, reactions are behind the curve. And no matter how hard you study the past, it will not give you all that you need to know for the present. You can plan and anticipate, but it can not predict the next event. You can only fall back on everything you know about earthquakes and/or your business - and that resides within knowledge of established habits and practices. In marketing to consumers, only the ability to create new knowledge, that which does not yet exist (so it can not be gathered and measured) can put you in control and position you ahead of the curve to jolt an industry, business, category, segment or brand like the image here.

Earthquakes In Earthquake Country
2008-04-15 05:59:00 A report from the assorted "brains and experts" bravely announced that in the next 30 years a 6.7 or larger earthquake will strike California. Southern California is at greater risk than the northern part of the state. They say it’s almost certain to happen.They gave their prediction an awful lot of leeway. In reality these earthquakes are going to take place much, much sooner than they think and both southern and northern areas will be shaken. What about magnitude? Both areas will experience jolts in the 7.5 range...or higher.I dislike writing things of this nature but sometimes things need to be said.
