Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15 to 20 are greater than magnitude 4.0, according to the USGS. In the continental United States, only Alaska records more quakes per year than California. According to the California Department of Conservation, the strongest quake ever recorded in the Golden State measured 7.9 magnitude and struck Fort Tejon on Jan. 9, 1857.

"Given that, we are overly cautious on the ground and if the team or the vehicle sees anything that just looks even slightly off, they'll stop the countdown."The vehicle and the payload are "in good health," the host said b...

Finally — UK inflation comes off the boil

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:09:54 GMT

Inflation in the U.K. finally came off the boil in June, bringing relief to consumers, the government — and to the Bank of England. The consumer price index rose 0.1 percent on the month and was up 7.9 percent from a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday. That was down from a headline rate of 8.7 percent in May and, crucially, the first time in five months the numbers had not exceeded market expectations.Although falling energy prices contributed most to the improved picture, the slowdown in price increases was broad-based, with the ONS reporting no major gains in prices for specific goods or services. Food prices, which have become the focal point of popular anger at the highest inflation in over 40 years, inched higher, but their annual gain slowed to 17.4 percent from 18.4 percent in May. The ONS’ measure of core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy elements, fell more moderately, to 6.9 percent from 7.1 percent in May. However, lea...

Why Latin America still won’t condemn Putin’s war in Ukraine

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:09:54 GMT

The ghosts of colonial history returned to haunt European and Latin American leaders at their summit in Brussels.For the guests, four hundred years of European colonial rule, economic exploitation and slavery was front of mind. For the hosts, it was Russia’s war on Ukraine in the here and now. The divergence in views was so profound that the two sides struggled to align their thinking at their first summit in eight years — especially to find words to condemn Russia’s war of aggression in their closing communiqué.That made the two-day gathering frustrating for all concerned — but especially for leaders of the EU’s newest member states from Eastern Europe, which have their own bitter memories of Soviet imperial rule and Russian aggression.“It is actually a war of colonization,” Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš said of the 16-month-old Ukraine conflict. “There is a former colonizer, Russia, and a former colony, Ukraine. And the former overlord is trying to ta...

Independent school in Encinitas looks to provide housing options for staff

ENCINITAS, Calif. -- As housing becomes less affordable and harder to find, an independent school in Encinitas is looking to solve the problem for some of its staff.Using a $4.5 million grant from the Fred B. Luddy Family Foundation initially intended to build a sports facility, The Grauer School realized that the land could serve a much bigger need: providing affordable housing for its teachers. The donor agreed.“He said, 'The greatest donors are the ones that are giving to individuals with the vision,'" said Stuart Grauer, found and head of school at The Grauer School. "You could almost cry, I did actually."After nearly losing out on new hires because of difficulty securing affordable housing in the area, he decided the solution was in the land, just a half a block away from the school.According to Grauer, staff will be able to apply for one of three separate living spaces on the property, with room to build more if the program proves to be successful. Rent costs will be set a rat...
