MyCNN DOWN! Recommended replacement is My Netscape...I think not.
CNN
AllAfrica.com
Xinhua DOWN!, Red China's state-controlled news. Coverage is skewed compared to Western news agencies; slant regarding Red China, Taiwan, and other issues on which Red China has known political positions should be obvious. Xinhua is neutral-slant when reporting MidEast stories (Israel, PNA, etc.) -- all Western news agencies I have experience with (including AP, Reuters, and CNN) are slanted pro-Arab. Unfortunately, this domain has been taken over by a cybersquat search engine.
Stratfor Intelligence Service
Moody's Investors' Service Moody's primarily rates investment quality. I prefer to read this once per week, on Tuesday, to catch the economic analyses.
Ed Yardeni One reason to consider an account with Deutsche Bank.Securities.
Wichita Eagle My ex-fiancée [used to live/lives] in Wichita.

Geological information

• USGS U.S. Geological Service. Just about USGS has (about the geology of the U.S.) should be linked via this -- somehow. Sifting can be very time-consuming.
• Noah's Ark, mirror, and another mirror. This has a wide-ranging, but selective range of information. Note: experimental earthquake/geomagnetic anomaly forecasting via ocean temperature deviations.
• Earthquakes
  • Drudge Earthquake Report® Again, several useful summaries -- but watch out when going to the home page....
  • Syzygy An attempt at earthquake prediction. Intended accuracy rate is about 75%.
• Volcanos
  • Michigan Tech University Back when Monteserrat was highly active, this page allowed easy access to daily updates from Monteserrat.
  • Volcano World I haven't seriously explored this site, but its FAQ and trivia sections appear extensive.
  • The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Project
  • The Electronic Volcano
  • The Volcano Information Center
  • The Volcanic Homepage
  • Southwest Volcano Research Center
  • Gifford Pinchot National Forest Home to Mount St. Helens and Mt. Adams -- two major volcanos in the Pacific Cascades.
  • USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory.

Science at the Limit

• Anders Transhuman Page & mirror This has a phenomenal self-help link section [look under "Individual Sphere"]. Most other areas are either pushing the limits of hard science fiction, or are blatant science fantasy.
• Noah's Ark, mirror, and another mirror. Some Earth-changist material (Earth-changists are closely related to hyperliteralists regarding the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ). Also, the article about whether the speed of light is constant (buried in the geological information) definitely is not conventional science [it is a priori hard to make it consistent with General Relativity in the absence of a global space-time factorization].
• Watcher I wasn't sure where to point into his website, but it's heavily crosslinked.
• Tesla Coils maintained by Matt Behrend.
• Bart's High-Voltage Lab Site map. More Tesla coil resources.
• Tesla Coil resource index.
