...what their kids will look like at age 40 if they keep gorging on sugar and fried food. In the pilot, the parents watch, horrified, as their three sons morph and swell into pallid, pimply, ill-groomed tubs who look vaguely like serial killers. For some reason, the computer model assumes that junk food motivates men to grow bad facial hair...
...volume report published in 1908, Lawson and his team went on to elaborate a new model of earthquake formation--the elastic-rebound theory--that holds up to this day. For years, they correctly surmised, stress had been ratcheting up along the San Andreas until finally it became so overwhelming that the earth's crust snapped like an overextended rubber band. Moreover, the buildup and release of strain appeared to be recurrent, resulting over time in a succession of earthquakes "of greater or less violence." These pioneering researchers provided the first big clue that earthquakes occur in cycles--that...
What will happen when the Hayward Fault--or the San Andreas--goes off? Scientists who study ancient quakes cannot answer that question because it depends on details that sediments do not preserve. But using a new 3-D model of the earth's crust in the Bay Area, USGS geophysicist Brad Aagaard and his colleagues can run simulations that tweak different parameters for earthquakes that have already occurred and for those still to come. The results range from the expected to the quite surprising...
Letourneau fits that model. She has said she fell in love with Fualaau while working with him on a sixth-grade art project when he was 12 and claims that after a while a sexual relationship just seemed "natural." In a phone call recorded by police, Flannigan's student-lover asked the teacher why she had chosen to have sex with him. She reportedly answered, "I don't know why it happened. I don't know why I love you so much...
