ghostofdetroit — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 15:36:46 +0000

the new web address is: http://nakedempire2.blogspot.com/

In order to enhance our readers news experience, we have moved the current “nakedempire” to a different address (listed below) we call it nakedempire2.

This site, nakedempire 1, will still continue to run but it will not gain any new content. With nakedempire2 we will be able to bring our readers more content. The new blog contains more information and breaking news (that we had trouble bringing to you here at nakedempire1). We have migrated much of the content found here at this site, to the new site.

We want to thank all of our readers for their loyalty, and we can only hope that you will follow us to the new blog. This move is done with the intension of appealing to the interests of our readers and we hope that you enjoy our new site.

And now without further adieu we bring you nakedempire2

‘Japanese earthquake stirred South Florida waters’

“The earthquake and tsunami in Japan was felt thousands of miles away in South Florida’s water table.”

Is Mt. Fuji at Risk?

nakedempire — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:34:51 +0000

“The 1707-1708 eruption is the one that has some people concerned about what Fuji might have in store. On October 26, 1707, Honshu was struck by a M8.4 earthquake and less than 2 months later, on December 16, 1707, Fuji began eruptin. The initial eruption was explosive ash and puma, but within hours of starting the eruption became basaltic fountaining from a flank vent. Over the next few weeks, Fuji erupted ~0.68 km³ of material before the eruption ended at the start of 1708. The magma erupted during this eruption was decidedly mixed – from basalt to dacite – suggesting that it was fed by multiple magma sources. Ash from this eruption reached as far as Tokyo. If you look at the eruptive history of Fuji and the record of major earthquakes in Japan, you can see there isn’t any real correlation between the two, so trying to connect the October 26, 1707 earthquake with the December 1707 eruption at Fuji is likely tenuous at best.”

‘Mega-Banks and the Next Financial Crisis’

nakedempire — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 16:33:08 +0000

the country cant and wont heal until these bankers are put in jail…..

“At the height of the housing bubble, hedge-fund manager Paul Singer was shorting subprime mortgages. By the spring of 2007, he was warning regulators on both sides of the Atlantic that the world was facing a major financial crisis.

They ignored him. Now the founder of Elliott Management says the biggest banks are headed for another credit meltdown. Among the likely triggers for the next crisis, Mr. Singer sees one leading candidate: Monetary policy “is extremely risky,” he says, “the risk being massive inflation.”

Where are the Worlds Nuclear Reactors?

nakedempire — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 14:54:42 +0000

“As Japan struggles to bring the stricken Fukushima Daiichi site under control, and politicians worldwide debate the future of nuclear energy, it’s a good time to take stock of the current inventory of reactors. Roll over the circles to find out more about each site, and use the controls on the right to home in on what interests you.”

‘Chinese Leadership Fears Its Own People’

nakedempire — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 13:22:37 +0000

what are the chinese so afraid of?

“Beijing is making sure Chinese pro-democracy activists, who have called for their own ”Jasmine Revolution,” do not succeed in emulating their North African counterparts. The leadership’s crackdown borders on paranoia, but the Communist Party knows that the economic miracle that maintains social stability is at risk.”
