Scientists Find it Difficult to Predict Volcano Behavior!

I am all for research and Volcanoes are important to the structure of the Earth, but with all the history and all the research, when a volcanologist is asked maybe not a simple question but a very important question like "When will this end?" or "When will this happen again?"
The answer should be a little better than "I don't know!"

At least when a physicist doesn't know an answer(and they usually don't) they at least have the courtesy to make one up and make it sound scientific.

I know a lot of people are going to say there are bigger problems that need more attention(meaning money), but look back at history and one of the affects(or is it effects) of the "Space Race" is the innovation that the science provided just to make things work that later was used in the public sector(like the personal computer, was that important?).
Many of the problems that the nation faces really isn't solved by money(especially Government money), and if you take the grants and budget away from NASA and they rely on private donors, only the private donors will benefit from the science learned because they are going to want a stake in their investment.
I would rethink this if we are truly concerned about education and science in this country.

Very sad, but NASA got six more years out of this than they thought. But to think that this little guy is just sitting still functional makes me feel bad. Think of it as WALL-E stuck in sand and he can't get out.
Sorry didn't mean to bum you out; back to real news, do you think Brett Favre will retire for real this time?!?

Good News - Relatively near by, and you shouldn't have to fight the Natives for it!

Bad News - DeBeers already either lies claim to the liquid diamond or simply label it as "too pretty"!
