Keeping an eye on Yellowstone's supervolcano
It's no mere doomsday pseudoscience: The Yellowstone supervolcano really could be the end of us all. When the Yellowstone Caldera — the name of the national park's geographic structure, which roughly translates as "caldron" — blows its lid, much of the continental United States will get covered in a blanket of ash. That ash will clog the atmosphere enough to block out the sun, disrupting the global climate enough to cause mass extinctions. The last full-scale eruption of that kind occurred 640,000 years ago, and the ones prior to that occurred.../

The Fed is buying bonds to try to ease financial conditions and lower long-term interest rates under its plan, dubbed quantitative easing or QE2. The Fed had talked about how to shrink its bloated balance sheet.../

AUSTRALIAN and South Korean banks are the most exposed in Asia to Europe's debt crisis given their large dependence on offshore wholesale funding markets, a senior official at Fitch Ratings said today. While the direct exposure is low, if the Greek debt crisis implodes and spurs a major dislocation in global credit markets, Australia and South Korea's banks and economies would suffer the most, said Andrew Colquhoun, head of Asia-Pacific sovereign ratings. "Among the countries in Asia I would regard as relatively more exposed are both Korea and.../
Obama touts efforts to advance gay rights
Obama received an enthusiastic reception from gay, lesbian and bisexual supporters at a New York fundraiser, but a few dozen gay rights protesters outside the hotel and a handful of hecklers inside the ballroom where he spoke served as reminders of frustration that he has not done more for their cause. "I believe that gay couples deserve the same legal rights as any other couple in this country,"../

Is College Worth It? - Is college worth it? Is a college education really worth the investment of time, money and energy? Is a college degree really worth becoming enslaved to student loan debt that will haunt you for decades? The truth is that a college education is a massive gamble. For millions of Americans it works out well, but millions of other college graduates have found themselves completely unable to get a quality job in this economy and yet they are still trapped in a nightmare of student loan debt from which there is no escape.

Fertility Manager Al Gore Calls On Women To Have Fewer Children…To Curb Pollution
On Monday, former Vice President Al Gore discussed climate change and pollution control at the Games for Change convention in New York City.

Giant Asteroid To 'Narrowly Miss' Earth
The space rock will reach within 11,000 miles of the its surface and give off a light bright enough to be seen through a small telescope, experts said today. It was only spotted on Wednesday by a robotic telescope in New Mexico that scans the skies for such hazards. An alert was then put out yesterday by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center in Massachusetts. The find was confirmed by Peter Birtwhistle, who has discovered dozens of asteroids from his own UK observatory, with a photo taken from Great Shefford in Berkshire. It will be daylight in the UK when the asteroid, which has been named 2011...

Eating an ultra low-calorie diet can cure Type 2 diabetes in just eight weeks, dramatic new research has shown. Even people who have suffered from the condition for years found the drastic diet could jump-start their body’s production of insulin. The breakthrough is good news for the nearly 2.5million people in Britain who have this type of diabetes, which is caused by the pancreas not producing enough insulin to break down glucose in the blood. It could revolutionise the treatment of what has always been seen as a lifelong problem.
