Is this the End of Days but in 2011 not 2012?

Flooding in the US. Japan in crisis. Startling evidence  now that March 20th 2011 could be a catastrophic event for the United States..

1st off: The jet-stream for the next 5 days goes right from Japan to the entire US. If the nuclear reactors melt down in the next 5 days, the US will be exposed to radiation fallout, the harshest areas being the western united states.

Next up: Russian scientists are predicting a super quake within the US on appx March 19th or 20th. Right in time for the radiation fallout as well.

Now: Documents leaked show the US Navy could already be aware of the upcoming super quake and have already created new topography maps of the US, 1/3 of which are now under water.

The SUPERMOON coming up on March 19th has consequences that play into all the above. The moon will be at its lunar perigee,  the nearest approach in its orbit around Earth. But in this case, it will be at its closest proximity to us in 18 years.  Jupiter and Saturn cause extra tides on the Sun when they get on either side of the Sun (as with Moon – Earth-Sun when the moon is full) and when these gas giants get on the same side as the Sun, (as with Earth -Moon – Sun when the moon is new). These greater solar tides become sunspot activity and solar flares and can be understood as akin to the increase in tides caused by the Moon when it too gets alongside Earth or opposite Earth.

At the moment we have Jupiter and Saturn on either side of the Sun and creating a tug of war with Earth in the middle. That started last September and will continue until about May. In September the Earth was right in line with Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun too.

The Kicker: The United States Army announcing this week that it is holding a rare training event involving the US Military, the CIA, Canadian officers, US Treasury and State departments, the US Agency for International Development, the Defense Threat Readiness Agency and the International Red Cross between March 21-25 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

Some think the murder of John P. Wheeler this week was deliberately to conceal what he was trying to release to the public..

Discovery descends toward its last landing

Discovery descends toward its last landing

Astronauts fired the space shuttle Discovery's engines one final time on Wednesday to bring it down to Florida and wrap up its long flying career.

The world's most-flown spaceship was due to return to Earth — for the last time ever — three minutes before noon ET.
Discovery's crew turned on the space shuttle's orbital maneuvering engines, marking the point of no-return for its hourlong descent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The "deorbit burn" proceeded precisely as planned.
A few hours earlier, Discovery commander Steven Lindsey wondered aloud whether Kennedy Space Center was the only landing site under consideration. Mission Control replied that it was, and that the backup landing strip in California had not been activated.
"I know you're from California," Mission Control told Lindsey. "Is there something you were thinking?"
"No, just curious," Lindsey replied. "No, we want to bring Discovery back to Florida."
Over nearly 27 years, NASA's oldest shuttle has flown 39 missions, more than any other spaceship in history. It's being retired after this voyage.

Discovery is headed back from the International Space Station. Its crew delivered and installed a new storage compartment, complete with a humanoid robot.
The mission added 13 days to Discovery's lifetime total of 365 days in space. Its total mileage is 148 million miles.
Once back at Kennedy Space Center, Discovery will be decommissioned over the next several months and sent to the Smithsonian Institution for display. Endeavour and then Atlantis will fly once more each in the next few months. Then they, too, will be retired. Their final resting places have yet to be chosen.

      How Discovery will meet its destiny
      Science editor Alan Boyle's Weblog: After the shuttle Discovery lands, it will almost certainly go on display at the Smithsonian’s Udvar-Hazy Center — but not before it goes through a round of technological taxidermy.

Endeavour — scheduled to blast off in less than six weeks — will be moved out to the launch pad this week.
NASA is under presidential direction to spread its wings beyond low-Earth orbit. The goal is to send astronauts to an asteroid and then Mars in the decades ahead. There is not enough money for NASA to achieve that and maintain the shuttle program at the same time. As a result, the shuttles will stop flying this summer after 30 years.
American astronauts will keep hitching rides to the space station on Russian Soyuz capsules, until private companies are able to provide taxi service to and from orbit. NASA expects to get another nine years at least out of the space station.

7 oddest things found inside a human body

The 7 Most Baffling Things Ever Discovered in a Human Body

We previously gave you The 7 Most Horrifying Things Ever Discovered in a Human Body, and you may have thought we were done showing you pictures that would make Satan himself throw up in his mouth a little. Luckily, that is something that we never, ever grow tired of doing, so here are some more disgusting things that have managed to lodge themselves in someone's body in one way or another.

#7.

A Small Fortune

How much money do you have in your wallet right now? How about your pockets? Your savings account? For most people, the answer could be anywhere from thousands of dollars to a nickel and some Cheetos dust.

A king's ransom in cholesterol!

But how much cash do you have in your stomach? Hopefully the answer is none, unless you're some kind of mutant piggy bank. Well, one 62-year-old man walked into the Cholet General Hospital in France complaining of severe abdominal pains and rectal blockage. Doctors gave the man an X-ray and found a 5.5-kilogram mass in his stomach, which is about the size of a bowling ball. The mass had actually grown so large that it sunk his stomach in between his hips, like a boulder in a hammock made of rubber bands. Doctors operated immediately and discovered that the mass consisted of more than $4,000 worth of coins. So was this man a billionaire who accidentally swallowed a few pounds of coins while swimming through his fortune like Scrooge McDuck?

Ever wonder what it feels like to shit a bank?

"He likes eating coins," said Dr. Bruno Francois, putting it as nonchalantly as humanly possible, as if he were telling us that he'd had Cocoa Puffs for breakfast. The man's family had warned doctors that he had a habit of eating coins and would often steal from people hosting dinner parties to indulge himself, effectively making him the Hamburglar of traditional currency. His habit lasted for 10 years before he was forced to seek help, which raises the question of whether he was allowed to keep the money after his surgery. On one hand, it was $4,000. On the other, it was $4,000 worth of coins soaked in stomach lining.

"Hey, guys, go ahead and order pizza. This dude's buying."

A Belt

It didn't seem like it could get much worse for Anuj Ranjan, who checked into a New Delhi hospital complaining of abdominal and chest pains, labored breathing, weight loss and blood-flecked coughs. He'd even developed a boil on his chest that was leaking air. After anatomy charts indicated that the nipple was not supposed to have a blowhole, X-rays revealed a large patch in his left lung. His doctors diagnosed him with tuberculosis and started him on a treatment regimen that lasted two years while Ranjan's symptoms grew progressively worse.

"This is totally going to start working, eventually."

The doctors finally decided to perform surgery, and when they opened up his chest, they found the remnants of a leather belt and a small bit of cloth. Four years earlier, Ranjan had been in a car accident that had apparently lodged his belt in his stomach, and the belt eventually worked its way up into his lung. You might be asking why Ranjan didn't tell his doctors about the time his belt went missing right after a car punched a belt-shaped hole into his stomach. But you've never tried to utter the sentence, "I think the belt I was wearing got punched into my stomach" to a trained medical professional who is licensed to diagnose you as insane. He probably didn't mention it for the same reason you wouldn't believe it happened if we didn't have a link to the story: He didn't think he lived in a cartoon universe where you can run into something so hard that your body literally starts trying to cough it up.

Watch out for falling rocks, Ranjan.

The surgery lasted for hours, with a large part of Ranjan's lung having to be removed and doctors presumably having to take turns taking one another's picture next to the guy with part of a wardrobe in his lung. Fortunately, Ranjan came out alive, free to have more articles of clothing shoved into his body and subsequently forgotten about.

A Bullet

A 77-year-old woman named Jin Guangying went to the Shuyang Leniency Hospital in China, complaining of headaches that had pained her for most of her adult life. So in case the Indian guy who didn't notice that he'd had his belt punched into his stomach wasn't enough to make our American readers feel like pampered hypochondriacs, well, hold onto your panties. After one X-ray, doctors were quick to identify the problem.

"That."

While surviving a gunshot to the head isn't totally unheard of, the origin of this particular bullet is what truly sets Jin apart from most head-shot survivors -- and Bond villains for that matter. Jin had been shot in the head in 64 years earlier in 1943, when she was only 13-years old. She had been delivering food to her father in the front lines of World War II, and the bullet first passed through someone else's arm before lodging in her brain. Her mother used herbal medicine to heal the wound despite modern medicine having long ago demonstrated that no amount of green tea can cure a bullet to the face. Doctors removed the bullet to find it covered with rust and a green substance that can only be described as "leprechaun poop."

A Nail

Patrick Lawler had been working construction at a ski resort in Breckenridge, Colo., when his vision started to blur and a minor toothache began. When icing and aspirin didn't help, he went to the dentist's office where his wife worked. During the examination, it was discovered that a 4-inch nail was embedded in his skull.

"Boy, it looks like we really hit the nail on the head. But seriously, there's 4 inches of metal in your brain."

Apparently Lawler had been using a nail gun that backfired and shot a nail up through his mouth that he somehow failed to notice. It was lodged an inch and a half into his brain, just barely missing his right eye. He managed to go six days before the nail was discovered and had been eating ice cream to try to fight the swelling, because for some reason he thought that's what ice cream does.

"A sprained ankle, you say? Just rub this on it; you'll be fine."

He was quickly taken to a hospital in Denver, where the nail was removed after four hours of surgery. "This is the second one we've seen in this hospital where the person was injured by the nail gun and didn't actually realize the nail had been embedded in their skull," neurosurgeon Sean Markey told a local television station. "But it's a pretty rare injury."

So, you know, frame that nail or have it cast in bronze or something.

5 Sci-Fi Apocalypses The Government Is Actually Planning For

The government has to plan for every contingency: disease, famine, political instability, drought, weather, aliens, the plot of Armageddon coming true and protecting super-evolved man from his primitive cousins. There are actual plans for every one of those scenarios. There are entire real government programs devoted solely to thinking up ways to counter weather-themed supervillains and other outlandish threats normally relegated to the realm of science fiction. Like these:

Talking to -- or Covering Up -- Extraterrestrials

Are we alone? If not, what will happen when we finally meet creatures from another planet? Will they be peaceful? Hostile? Will we be able to mate with them, Captain-Kirk style? If not, why not?

Seriously. Why not? One reason.

These are questions movies and television shows have been asking for decades. And, somewhat inexplicably, the government has been as well. It's not so far-fetched: After all, while the chance of finding life out there other than ourselves is infinitesimal, we have been trying it for years. We've been sending radio waves into space with SETI, Voyager 1 has reached the edge of our solar system and is still moving out into deep space, and we pretty much call all alien life forms pussies in countless movies that we then beam out in every direction. It's practically inevitable that they're coming.

This film will be the blackface of the 24th century.

So what is the government doing about it?
Way back in 1960, when Americans were first getting a boner for all things to do with space (hereby shortened to "the Space-Boner era"), Congress commissioned an official report on what sorts of things could happen once we launched ourselves out of Earth's atmosphere. This was called "Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs," or the Brookings Report (because PSIPSAHA is kind of a sucky acronym).

It sounds kind of like the noise you make when you stub a toe.

Most of the report was pretty snooze-worthy, but there was one section, called "Implications of a discovery of extraterrestrial life," that made people sit up and take notice. And then void their bowels, upon reading such reassuring findings as:
"If superintelligence is discovered, the results become quite unpredictable." "[There are] many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies." "How might such information ... be presented to or withheld from the public?"
Yep, the whole thing pretty much reads like an X-file. All it's missing is a righteously indignant Mulder screaming about the truth while giving sultry looks to the camera.

Doo-dee-da-da-dee-doo.

But America is far from the only nation worried about meeting ET. Even the Vatican is devoting serious thought to an idea formerly relegated to trailer parks and hill-folk. Father Jose Funes, speaking for the Vatican after its official conference on astrobiology (wait, what?), stated that the church has concluded that the existence of life on other planets would not invalidate anything in the Bible. And Guy Consolmagno, one of the pope's astronomers (wait, double what?) said that he would be delighted to baptize any extra terrestrial life that comes his way, but "only if they asked."

And promised to put the probe down first.

Leaving Warning Messages for Humans of the Far Future

Major civilizations come and go over the course of history. Even ones that dominate for thousands of years will eventually fall into dust. But they always leave shit buried in the dirt. Since the statute of limitations for littering is probably just short of a few thousand years, we accept that fact and use these leavings to study them. One day, in turn, somebody will be studying us the same way.

"... What our early ancestors needed with one-fingered gloves, we may never know."

And we're probably going to kill them for it.
See, unlike previous civilizations, where the biggest worry was uncovering somebody caught rubbing one out while Vesuvius erupted, our society is capable of leaving things that will stay dangerous basically forever. Like Yucca Mountain, the giant, soon-to-be glowing mound in Nevada and America's possible storage facility for nuclear waste. If we do end up dumping tons of radioactive material there, any future people (or aliens) who dig it up are going to seriously regret messing with the past. Hey, it's like we're setting up our own mummy's curse! Awesome!

"Bjorn, no one would go to the trouble of hollowing out a mountain if they weren't hiding some real cool shit."

So what is the government doing about it?
Assuming that we are an altruistic people and don't want the people of the future to all die horrible deaths (although they do kind of seem like dicks, all smug with their hyper-cars and stupid transmogrifiers), we need a way to warn them where not to dig. So it's a good thing the U.S. Department of Energy has been paying people to think about this issue for years. What's so hard about that, though? Just slap up a sign explaining the damn thing and be done with it. The only problem being that the Environmental Protection Agency has demanded that the warning signs be visible and understandable by anyone who might seen them ... for the next 10,000 years.
Iconography, cultural touchstones and language will all be entirely different in 10,000 years. Communicating anything to people of the far-flung future is nearly impossible. For example, according to the government, our current nuclear waste symbol sort of looks like an angel. It could be misconstrued as a religious sign, or a message of peace, right up until they start digging into all of our poisons.

Eh, either an angel or Lady Gaga's Tomb Palace.

So we can't mark nuclear waste sites with that sign, lest we want future-us's children doing snow-angels in rotten plutonium. That's why the Department of Energy gathered a group of intellectuals from a huge variety of backgrounds, including history, risk analysis and engineering, to brainstorm solutions to the problem. Dubbed the Futures Panel, they came up with ideas like the "landscape of thorns": a visual warning made up of gargantuan, 50-foot-tall concrete pillars with spikes jutting out of them. That, or else just littering the place with human bodies. Because subtlety does not translate well over millennia.
Of course, as with most government projects, the bad-ass ideas were discarded for cost restrictions. If the Yucca Mountain project goes through, the current plan is to build large "earthen berms" (in layman's terms, piles of dirt) to warn people of the future. Because large piles of dirt might not be foreboding, understandable or long-lasting, but man are they DIRT cheap. Ha-ha! (But seriously, you'll die if you fuck with that dirt, Future.)

"You guys know what this would be good for? Storing drinking water."

Fighting Asteroids with Robots

Asteroids fly past Earth with a slightly worrying frequency, especially since we don't know most of them are even there until they pass us. The sun literally blinds astronomers to their presence, so the chances of us knowing that one is on a collision course is infinitesimal. So what do we do if we ever actually have a window of time when we know the Big One is coming? Personally, we're going to go with "big drunken orgy of crime" followed by "panic and crying."

Stock up on tear gas and Molotov mixins early, to take advantage of the best deals.

Fortunately, the government has a different plan.
So what is the government doing about it?
Unfortunately, it's straight from the plot of Armageddon.
A group of concerned astronauts from the U.S. and Canada have presented the U.N. with a report detailing the need for an asteroid-impact contingency. Indeed, the astronauts claim that we already have all the technology necessary to go all Armageddon on any bitch-ass asteroid fool enough to step to us ... given enough time, that is. What's enough time? An astonishingly unlikely 20 years' heads-up, in some cases. That's how long scientists would need for the safest plan, which involves using mirrors or lights to deflect an asteroid off course just enough to miss us.

Currently, the shall we say "less-safe" plan is to land people or robots (if they're advanced enough for the task by then but not advanced enough that they realize it's a batshit insane plan) on the surface of the asteroid. Then, yep, it unfolds exactly like the movie: The astronauts drill inside the rock and detonate a bomb to slightly change the massive rock's trajectory, in theory saving the human race. Of course, if the bomb is too effective, we'll just get lots of smaller but still deadly asteroids, changing the space bullet into more of a space shotgun blast -- but hey, there are always kinks to work out. The big downside (there's a bigger downside than "space shotgun blast"?) is that, even with the resources of the most advanced countries in the world at their disposal, scientists still predict the human race needs at least 10 years to prepare.
In that case, it's a good thing they're working on it now. We already know there is a possible contender for the plan headed our way in 2029 ... and again in 2036.
