Naples – A restive "super volcano" west of Naples is raising nervousness in the local Italian population. The ground of the Campi Flegrei "burning fields", also known as the Phlegraean Fields, has risen more in recent weeks than it has in a long time.

This does not necessary indicate a heightened risk of an eruption, however, said Thomas Wiersberg, a scientific drilling expert for the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam.

KHQ.COM - An asteroid half the size of a football field will give Earth the ultimate close shave this month, passing closer than many satellites when it whizzes by, but it won't hit the planet, NASA scientists say.

The asteroid 2012 DA14 will fly by Earth on Feb. 15 and zip within 17,200 miles (27, 680 kilometers) of the planet during the cosmic close encounter. The asteroid will approach much closer to Earth than the moon, and well inside the paths of navigation and communications satellites.

  • Pennsylvania's state capital Harrisburg is struggling with 41 massive sinkholes running as wide as 50 feet
  • The city is too broke to fix them as it deals with ongoing fiscal problems
  • It could cost nearly half of Harrisburg's $50 million budget to permanently fix the holes 

Other issues: Harrisburg has also been unable to fix a sewage treatment plant that has been dumping toxic waste into the Susquehanna River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean

I found this on the OPPT Facebook page. There’s going to be a lot of great info shared there, so you may want to—do I need to say it— OPPT-In…

Remember the picketing Wal-Mart workers were doing across the nation? Well, it works!  We’re going to see a lot more people standing up for their rights and getting results like this. Letting the Powers that Were know that we’re not going to take it any more is paying off—big time! This is a significant settlement and a real kick in the teeth for the cabal.

As Drake says…it’s time to get off the couch and DO something.

The wage theft ruling is a significant victory for Warehouse Workers United
