Alert level raised for Alaska volcano
ANCHORAGE, Alaska ? Increased earthquake activity has prompted scientists to raise the alert level for Alaska's Mount Redoubt volcano.
Geologists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory said Sunday that seismic activity had increased over the past two days. On Sunday morning, 40 to 50 earthquakes were being recorded every hour.
Scientists said conditions may evolve rapidly and culminated in an eruption within days to weeks at the volcano roughly 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Alaskans fume over Jindal volcano-monitoring gripe
In his official Republican response to President Barack Obama's speech to the nation Tuesday, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said repeatedly that "Americans can do anything!"
With one exception, apparently. We don't need to keep an eye on simmering volcanoes.
Jindal singled out "volcano monitoring" as an unnecessary frill that Democrats stuck in the recently adopted stimulus package.
It would really seem to me the Governor of state that virtually had a city wiped out due to the effects of nature would not single out the study of predicting the effects of nature as his prime example of wasteful spending.
