No doubt you've heard about the recent Earthquakes in China. The Live Search Maps team in China has put together a collection rendering all of the Earthquakes in China . In addition to mapping out where the Earthquakes occurred, there's a sidebar which provides more information about each spot listed in the collection. This could be really useful for those tracking what's going on in the various affected regions. Too bad it's only in Chinese, though, I would love to have a translated version of this.

Terrible couple of weeks for large swaths of Asia, from the South to the East to the Southeast. Whether it was Cyclone Nargis bludgeoning Burma (though perhaps the ruling military junta's indignant stance is the greater tragedy as her people suffer), the 7.9 magnitude quake in central China , or the terrorist attacks in Jaipur, India , this has been a devastating and shitty month for the most populous regions of the world. Sometimes I feel resigned to the cycle. If Buddha and the Gita had it right, life is just suffering. Is this an un-Disney circle of life? Maybe this is just how things go, and will we ever change anything unless we change everything? And what new problems will those changes bring? ... Source: judibleu.typepad.com --- 15 hours ago

Rumors are flying in China about why officials couldn't predict the quake when apparent natural signs were there. Technically, seismologists the world over say they can't accurately predict location and timing of Earthquakes, but some in China see it differently. Eyewitnesses say they observed changes in water levels in the days leading up to the quake, and abnormal animal behavior just prior. Media reports ten days ahead of the quake suggest "several thousand cubic meters of water disappeared within an hour in Hubei [350 miles east of the epicenter], but the [seismological] bureau there dismissed it." Quake mispredictions aren't without precedent; in the 1970s in Tangshan, the seismologists dispatched to check out reports of mysteriously falling well water levels were killed by the very quake they wrote off, according to the AP. A few days prior to this week's Sichuan quake, a torrent of toads overran Mianzhu city where thousands of people were later killed in the severe tremors. The local forestry bureau did a TV interview before the disaster claiming it was normal breeding behavior which has people particularly angry after the fact. ( Video above.) In Wuhan, 600 miles from the epicenter, a newspaper reported zebras banging their heads against the door, elephants swinging their tusks wildly, and peacocks screeching just before the quake hit. The idea that animals can sense certain things before humans is ... Find more search results for Earthquakes on RSSMicro.com |

Admittedly, we're one of the last venues that has a right to get uppity about meta media it pays our rent but the ink spilled in examining China's media coverage of the recent earthquake borders on absurd.
Outlets from the AP (" China media unusually aggressive in covering quake " to the Australian Broadcasting Company (" Quake coverage 'testing China's media credibility' ") felt the need to weigh in on the subject. The Chinese media got into the act as well, commenting on the world media's coverage of China's response.
