Default Wanted: amateurs to help track earthquakes

Quote:
Earthquake scientists want to borrow your laptop or maybe a little space in your basement or garage.

Researchers don't have enough high-tech monitoring stations to track every instance of ground shaking, so they are enlisting help from ordinary people to document quakes and pinpoint areas of possible damage.
Almost anyone can participate by equipping laptop computers with special software or installing quake sensors at home.


"If they can provide scientific data that can prepare us for events in the future, then that's extremely important," said Tom Jordan of the Southern California Earthquake Center at the University of Southern California.


The epicenter of the movement is in California, the most quake-prone state in the continental United States. Each year, some 10,000 temblors rattle Southern California alone, though most are too small to be felt.


The Quake-Catcher Network was launched earlier this year to tap into the computing power of some 300 participants worldwide, including 50 volunteers in California.

The refrences to California continue to enforce my convictions that those of you in Nevada should sit tight as soon you will reap the benifits of beach front properties.

I'd volunteer, but I don't think they're too interested in NJ

Is a rice conquebine an Asian hooker wrapped in rice paper with large wheels and one hell of a frontal grill? Or just a combine / concubine hybrid? =p

But on a serious note, I feel where you're coming from. All around my home are rice fields. We regularly are stuck behind a combine or tractor for about thirty minutes, going about 5 miles an hour, as they occupy the whole road. ^^

I don't know if it remains true but the US was the largest producer of rice in the world. This is a good thing in that I like rice and not to be unamerican like rice better than a potato with a meal. Rice is followed by pasta and then the potato.

Down here in Louisiana, we couldn't live without rice. At my home, it's a rarity to not have rice with a meal.
