Sinkhole develops under dam in US — 7 nuclear reactors downstream

Sinkhole develops under dam in US — 7 nuclear reactors downstream — Water now seeping out — Gov’t notified of ‘stability issues’, plants begin evaluating potential flood impacts — Official: An ‘uncommon’ occurrence, we’re monitoring it continuously and working around clock — Structure same height as Niagra Falls

NRC, Oct. 30, 2014: … BOONE DAM STABILITY ISSUES… “TVA conducted a briefing for government officials… after discovery of a sink hole near the base… water and sediment [has been] found seeping from the river below the dam. TVA is continuously monitoring the dam… The dam is located upstream of all three TVA nuclear sites… The NRC Senior Resident Inspector was notified. The licensee is evaluating this event for potential impact on the design basis flooding level.”

Johnson City Press, Oct. 30, 2014 (emphasis added): Oct. 20 inspection of [Tennessee’s Boone] dam revealed a sink hole… Six days later, anuncommon occurrence happened when seepage was found near the location of the sink hole at the base of the dam

Times Free Press, Oct. 30, 2014: Tennessee Valley Authority engineers [will] search for the source of water seepage… Water and sediment were found Sunday seeping from the river bank below the dam.

TVA, Oct. 30, 2014: A sink hole was discovered near the base… water and sediment was found seeping from the river bank below the dam…

John McCormick, VP at TVA: [We’re] exercising an abundance of caution… Unless it’s a huge storm, we can do what we need… we are continuously monitoring the dam… engineers want to be sure we understand what caused the sink hole and where the water and sediment is coming from.

WCYB, Oct. 30, 2014: [A] sinkhole and seepage of clay particulates into the water at Boone dam… [is near] the bottom of structure on the river side of the dam… TVA employees are working around the clock to find the cause of the sinkhole and the source of the seepage. “The seepage into the waterway is not a common occurrence,” said McCormick… they do not have a definite timetable for finding the source of the seepage…

Boone Dam is just over the border from Virginia, where a powerful M5.9 quake struck in 2011Times Free Press: TVA inspects dams, nuclear plants after earthquake [and] is in the process of performing visual walk downs and inspections at… Boone

USGS: [Quakes] in the eastern U.S. can travel much farther and cause damage over larger areas than previously thought [and] damaging effects can extend over a much larger area… the farthest landslide from the 2011 Virginia earthquake was 245 km from the epicenter. This is by far the greatest landslide distance recorded from any other earthquake of similar magnitude… [This quake] occurred in an area 20 times larger than expected [and] landslide distances… are remarkable… [it’s] the largest distance limit ever recorded…

Scientists Build ‘Mini-Stomachs’ in Lab

W460

Scientists using stem cells said on Wednesday they had built the world’s first “mini-stomachs” — tiny clusters of human gastric tissue that could spur research into cancer, ulcers and diabetes.

Called gastric organoids, the lab-dish tissue comprises buds of cells that are “a miniature version of the stomach”, the researchers said.

They were made from pluripotent stem cells which were coaxed into developing into gastric cells, according to the study, published in the journal Nature.

Youthful and versatile, pluripotent stem cells have excited huge interest as a dreamed-of source for transplant tissue grown in a lab.

Sources for them include stem cells derived from early-stage embryos and adult cells reprogrammed to their juvenile state, called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).

But the field has encountered many problems, led by the challenge of getting cells to “differentiate”, or become cells for specific organs.

The exploit entailed identifying the chemical steps that occur during embryonic development, when cells differentiate into the specific types that form the stomach.

These steps were then replicated in a Petri dish so that pluripotent stem cells developed into endoderm cells, the building blocks of the respiratory and gastro-intestinal tracts.

These were then biochemically nudged into becoming cells of the antrum, the stomach region that secretes mucus and hormones.

Still at a preliminary stage, the organoids are a long way from being replacement tissue or a fully-fledged stomach.

Early tests on mice, though, suggest they could one day be a “patch” for holes caused by peptic ulcers.

The organoids also mark an important step forward in how to tease stem cells into becoming 3-D structure, the scientists said.

And, as “mini-stomachs,” they also provide a testbed for studying diseases such as cancer, diabetes and obesity, the team said in a press release.

“Up until now, there’s been no good way to study stomach diseases in humans,” said Jim Wells, a researcher in developmental biology at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Ohio.

“The human stomach is very different than the stomach of other animals. The different cells and their structure and arrangement in our stomach tissues in a dish were virtually identical to that that we would find in the stomach normally.”

In a first experiment, the researchers have used the organoids to see how the notorious ulcer-causing germ Helicobacter pylori infects cells lining the stomach, the Cincinnati facility said.

Meteor/Fireball Superstorms Hit the Earth – Dramatic Increase Within 2014 WTH is Going On?

Meteor/Fireball Superstorms Hit the Earth  Dramatic Increase Within 2014 WTH is Going On?

It is  raining down fireballs like never before, with their rate apparently increasing exponentially.

According to American Meteor Society’s (AMS) ‘Fireball Logs’, a database where eyewitnesses have been submitting reports of fireball events in the U.S. http://www.amsmeteors.org/
The AMS does subsequent checks to verify events with the All-Sky Fireball Camera Network set up by NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office (MEO)  and other observation networks.
Their stats are remarkable, the numbers just keep going up and up, and at an ever increasing rate!

keeping and media coverage of this phenomenon is shocking, especially given how extraordinary the phenomenon is and whatever it may portend for civilization, sometime in the future, if not immediately.
Using the AMS data, which begins in 2005, sott.net creating  the following tables to give readers a visual for what’s going on.

The real numbers are probably much higher because the above only represents what has been reported and seen in the US alone.
So it is not stretching to suggest that the real numbers for the US, as well as for the planet as a whole, are far more impressive than what you can see in those charts.
And if we take a look at the number of newly discovered Near Earth Objects (NEOs), we see a similar dramatic increase:

But it doesn’t stop there, the whole solar system seems to be undergoing a change, with the weakest solar cycle in 100 years, new bodies being discovered beyond Neptune and, bizarrely, the tally of Jupiter’s moons going up and down, apparently randomly.

Could at least some, if not all, of the major events that have happened around the world in recent years be connected to this increase in fireballs?

Some truly astounding things have been happening right in front of our eyes…
mystery booms’, sinkholes, floods, mass animal deaths, ‘strange sky sounds’,
extreme and unusual weather patterns all over the place, revolutions and wars,
social chaos, big earthquakes and tsunamis… all on a scale never seen in the ‘modern’ era.

This small selection of fireball events in 2014  reveal a clear message, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out: the ‘sky gods’ are angry!

Where will this lead to?
Nobody knows for sure, but if our true history shows us one thing, it’s that when a civilization is thoroughly corrupted and infected by psychopaths in power, to the extent we’re seeing in our world today,
and when people just sit back and allow it to happen, our environment seems to respond in a rather unpleasant way, to say the least.  http://www.sott.net/article/271892-2013-saw-a-dramatic-increase-in-meteor-fireballs-What-does-2014-have-in-store

Scientists Resurrect 700-Year-Old Virus

When researcher Eric Delwart read about the many things that could be preserved in ice cores, he told NPR he realized he might be able to find buried treasure: caribou poop.

Now, the work has paid off. The well-preserved, 700-year-old remains of, yes, caribou poop that Delwart found contained DNA that he and some colleagues were able to extract. Eventually, they used it to reconstitute an entire plant virus.

“I mean we’re constantly shoving viruses down our throat and if you look at poo samples from humans and from animals you will find a lot of viruses,” Delwart, a researcher at Blood Systems Research Institute in San Francisco, told NPR.

The news, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is both exciting and scary: The virus “time capsules” found in Canada will undoubtedly help inform research on the evolution of viruses. But it also raises the possibility of unleashing ancient viruses as ice melts or Arctic regions are drilled.

“The find confirms that virus particles are very good ‘time capsules’ that preserve their core genomic material, making it likely that many prehistoric viruses are still infectious to plants, animals or humans,” Jean-Michel Claverie, of the Aix-Marseille University School of Medicine in France, told New Scientist. “This again calls for some caution before starting to drill and mine Arctic regions at industrial scales.”

NEWS: Largest Viruses Ever Revealed

Although Delwart’s team was able to get the buried virus to infect a type of tobacco plant, he told NPR that this particular virus isn’t dangerous.

“There’s a theoretical risk of this, and we know that the nucleic acid of the virus was in great shape in our sample,” Delwart told New Scientist. “But old viruses could only re-emerge if they have significant advantages over the countless perfect viruses we have at present.”
