USGS Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones (Pasadena) said regarding earthquake predictions:
We have no way looking forward and saying what is coming next. Which year, which day, which month — we don’t have anything that ties that down. In fact, we think it may just be fundamentally very random.
The information about how big an earthquake’s going to be may not be in the earth’s crust BEFORE the earthquake begins.
Dr. Jones discusses this in part 1 of this 3-part interview with Adrienne Alpert about earthquakes and earthquake preparedness in Southern California (ABC Newsmakers, September 2, 2012).

San Onofre Safety 
Great article!
Salute!
Remember Fukushima PROVED that Nature can destroy any land based nuclear reactor, any place anytime 24/7/365 and ESPECIALLY those on or near major fault “zones” like CA has…
To think otherwise is to live in Nuclear Denial* and CA cannot afford a Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster.

The illogical belief that Nature cannot destroy any land based nuclear reactor, any place anytime 24/7/365!
We are lucky that the new Chairwomen of the NRC is a highly respected Geologist because the NRC needs to start giving much more importance to potential Earth Quakes than they have in the past, illustrated by the fact that US reactors are not build to anywhere near the degree of Earth Movement standards as the one in Japan and we all know how Fukushima faired when struck by a BIG Earth Quake…
BTW Many in Japan and elsewhere believe that the Quake not the Tsunami was the true cause of the Fukushima triple meltdown; which if true would be yet another reason to NEVER allow SORE (San Onofre Reactor Emergency) to ever be restarted! http://wp.me/pDwKM-2Cx
So, a 30-minute television interview with Southern California’s most prominent earthquake specialist talking about disaster scenarios … and the words “San Onofre” never come up? Odd, that Southern California Edison, whose name as a sponsor doesn’t appear until the very end of the show, wouldn’t make sure that SONGS got mentioned along with the risks posed by the nearby Newport-Inglewood, Rose Canyon, and Oceanside Blind Thrust faults. Very odd.

Why information about nuclear reactors does not appear in MSM, sounds familiar!
Nuclear waste dumped at “SEA”
Ocean disposal of radioactive waste:
Status report: http://is.gd/tiugbX
Note it is also been dumped around California, for all to enjoy!
Maybe that is now also part of our Background readings!
