So, what is the big deal about this situation anyway? The people in that area voted and said they want to be Russians. Why are we involved in this?

You might want to familiarize yourself with Germany annexing Austria in 1938.

Military search planes flew over a remote part of the Indian Ocean on Thursday hunting for debris in "probably the best lead" so far in finding the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, officials said.

The four planes were checking to see if two large objects spotted in satellite imagery bobbing in the ocean were debris from Fight 370 that disappeared March 8 with 239 people on board.

Australian authorities said the first plane to reach the area was unable to locate the debris through clouds and rain, but that other planes would continue the hunt.

One of the objects spotted by satellite imagery was 24 meters (almost 80 feet) in length and the other was 5 meters (15 feet). There could be other objects in the area, a four-hour flight from Australia's southwestern coast, said John Young, manager of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's emergency response division.

"This is a lead, it's probably the best lead we have right now," Young said. He cautioned that the objects could be seaborne debris along a shipping route where containers can fall off cargo vessels, although the larger object is longer than a container.

Young told a news conference in Canberra, Australia's capital, that planes had been sent to the area about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth to check on the objects. He said satellite images "do not always turn out to be related to the search even if they look good, so we will hold our views on that until they are sighted close-up."

If I am reading this correctly, Cali has had 164 quakes/aftershocks in the last week with the majority in the last 48 hours. (For at least five minutes I debated on putting this in the TGT End of the World contingency plan thread.)

Responding to this from my survival shelter.

I wonder if that's normal, I noticed most of them are very small.

Yeah, there was 5.2 (if I remember right) overnight that was the top news on CBS Radio News this morning at work right before I went on air at 6am. They've been saying for years, that SoCal has been due for "the big one" for years now, decades even. Between the 164 quakes and aftershocks, plus the 5.2 last night, I'm wondering if that big one isn't coming.

I think there have been 100+ aftershocks following the recent bigger 4+ and 5+ quakes. If I lived out there, I would be concerned that the big one may be on the way.

So I just googled it, looks like on average they have about 10,000 a year. Most of them small. Nothing to see here

women are equally paid enough statistically but when you leave work for cramps and children rearing you will make less money
