Azerbaijan (earthquake prediction station)
The scientists of the ANAS Cybernetics Institute have built a new seismic-acoustic station at the head of a suspended oil well at Qum Island in the Caspian Sea. 15-20 hours before the actual earthquake, the station registers seismic noises received by means of steel well bores from the deep strata of earth. $$$
Lady Gaga (Tsunami Aid)
Lady Gaga, one of the most successful pop singer-songwriters of the moment known for her out-of-the-box style of fashion, arrived in Japan on Tuesday to attend a charity music event for the victims of the March 11 killer earthquake and tsunami in the northeast. $$$
Japan (energy saving)

Japan (tsunami debris)
Debris sucked from the shoreline of Japan by the March 11 tsunami has embarked on a 10-year circuit of the North Pacific, posing an enduring threat to shipping and wildlife, a French green group says.

Taeko Nose says she may never forget the image of her two dogs – “her children” as she calls them – tied up on a leash as she was forced to leave her home during Japan’s nuclear crisis. Certainly three months afterwards, it’s still etched in her mind. “I was told to get into a bus and leave my children behind,” said Taeko Nose, 62, remembering the mandatory evacuation during the nuclear crisis that followed the deadly March 11 earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan, killing 15,000 people. $$$
Haiti (temporary migration extension)
The United Nations urged all governments today to refrain from sending back Haitians to their country, which is still reeling from an earthquake 18 months ago. The joint appeal by the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR and U.N. human rights office followed reports of countries including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Brazil and the United States deporting Haitians, UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards told a news briefing. $$$
Volcano tourism
