What in the world is going to create ground accelerations of 0.56, 0.52, 0.56 g and 15m waves other than an earthquake and tsunami?
Nuclear strikes, an asteroid impact maybe.
No, this decommissioning of nuclear plants has nothing to do with science, and it's all about knee jerk politics. One of the most powerful earthquakes of the last 1600 years occurred, do we really expect every system and structure to survive? Of course not, now areas without a chance of earthquakes this bad are bailing for no real reason other than pure politics.
When it comes to healthcare and economics Germany is held up as a standard to emulate, but in reality they make moronic decisions like everyone else does.
I have a Breitling Aerospace (Titanium and Gold) which is all digital but does have analog hands and an LED space for dress occasions and Casio G-Shock for work.
My next watch is going to be a Casio AMW330D-1AV Dive Chronograph and in two years I'll get an Omega Speedmaster for a 40th birthday present to myself.
Except for the adding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month has only happened twice, two blocks of three month growth in the spring of '10 and then '11.
"Nonfarm payroll employment changed little (+54,000) in May, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 9.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today."
Big difference between now and the late Republic and Empire eras.
The middle and noble classes feared the Mob. The Plebeians outnumbered everyone else, they would vote in a bloc and they'd disrupt the commercial and infrastructure of the city. That doesn't happen in the modern United States and really hasn't happened since the Civil Rights/Vietnam War era.
The Congress and President doesn't fear the people, so they don't have to fix what's broken.
Bull, the President and the Democratic Party held the Executive Branch and both houses of the Legislative Branch for two years and pushed only two things, more debt and the worst, most convoluted, ill conceived health care proposal ever attempted.
In the 2010 mid-term the Democrats hemmed and hawed without getting a budget passed which made the House and Senate leadership look like idiots, that all in turn gave the Republicans the House and nearly gave them the Senate.
Don't blame the Republicans for the Democratic Party's incompetence. The real problem in Washington isn't the Teabaggers or the base GOP, it's Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi failing for four years straight.
NASA isn't just about space and the US is developing a lot more commercial space ventures than the rest of the world put together.
The US has more earth sensing satellites, space probes, commercial communication, government communication and scientific satellites up there and more in development than the rest of the world.
The US has more deep space probes out and more in development than anyone else.
The Russians can do one thing well, launch to LEO, the Europeans can launch to LEO well, the Chinese, Indians, Japanese are just getting the hang of reliably LEO payloads. The Russians, Indians, Chinese and Japanese have all these plans for the Moon, meanwhile the US sends probes to the Moon, is getting ready for a lander/rover on Mars, another mission to Jupiter, has a mission at Saturn, has a mission at Mercury, has a mission going to Pluto, is working on a mission to Titan.
Even with the retirement of Shuttle, the US is still being more active in space for the next 10 years than the US was from '72-81.
Sioux Falls has a pair of 8,000 foot runways, Rapid City has a single 8,000.
Aberdeen is short (6500) so not sure why they had trijets other than a 727, but I remember an L-1011 taxing by blew the door of our Cessna 210 off the hinges once.
Eugene Oregon is another airport that used to have more bigger jets and it's all RJ and turboprop now.
I flew on a Dash-8 last summer from Seattle (KSEA) to Portland (KPDX) in the morning, pilot was able to take us right over Mt St. Helen's crater at about 12,000 feet, gorgeous flight.
My cousin flies A320s and whenever I mention Dash-8s his response is "Man, I love those planes."
Those airports used to support MD-80s, DC-9s, B-727s, B-737s, BAe 146s, but after deregulation and the consolidation of the airlines the planes got smaller and smaller.
From 1980 through 1995 I'd fly in and out of Pierre, Bismarck, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, or Billings out to Eugene, Portland, Spokane or Sacramento.
I've even seen L-1011s and DC-10s in Pierre and Aberdeen way back when.

If it dumps 80 cm of snow overnight, even locales prepared for snow and snow removal shut down all but basic services.
I don't care if it's Fort Nelson, Whitehorse, Toronto, Ottawa, or Edmonton.
Only places that always get that much snow year round, like Valdez Alaska, are prepared for giant dumping snow falls.
Valdez averages 10 meters a year, so even .8m is a large one time snow fall for them.
Because of the giant earthquake which exceeded everyone's estimates for that part of Japan and the fault it occurred on.
An earthquake which can't happen in Germany because they don't have the right kinds of faults there.

France is geologically stable and away from tropical storm paths with reactors in containment vessels, so a Fukushima or Chernobyl can't happen there.
The worst you'll see in France is a Three Mile Island, which is maybe one or two extra cancer deaths in a 10 mile radius.

Building and operating that employ a lot more people than the Webb Telescope will.
Without Shuttle, Hubble as it was launched would be known as an expensive boondoggle and no longer be operational.

I'd say yes, military spending leads directly to civilian and commercial technologies.
Easiest examples, the Internet, spread spectrum communications, GPS.

Yea, but the tax payers like the pictures and the rovers.
9 years to Pluto doesn't really have the same thrill as "It'll be on Mars next year!"
I emailed him the morning Cassini launched and asked what next, he said he was going to keep fighting the fight against RTGs in space.
If you've not seen it, try and find Tanks on the Moon, it's all about the Soviet rover program.

Turboprops make up for 45% of passengers carried by commercial aircraft in the US and Canada.
There are quite a few general aviation turboprops, even see them at Merrill Field here in Anchorage.
