S.&P. Cuts France's AAA Rating, Affirms German Credit and Reduces Portugal to Junk Status

Standard & Poor's Corp. on Friday stripped France of its sterling credit rating, cut Portugal's credit to junk status and downgraded Italy's debt by two steps in a wide-ranging action revision of European countries caught in the euro crisis.

The actions were the strongest signal yet that Europe's sovereign debt woes were far from over and would pose fresh political challenges for politicians, including President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, as they try to stabilize the problem on the Continent, now in its third year.

A downgrade by a single ratings agency would have an immediate, though not devastating, impact on the countries' ability to borrow money. S.& P. warned in December that the agency was reviewing the credit ratings of 15 European Union countries because of the crisis. Germany and the Netherlands, which were on the original list, were not expected to receive a downgrade Friday, news agencies reported.

USGS Top Story: 100 Years of Volcano Monitoring in the United States

USGS Top Story
The full story and photographs can be seen online.

100 Years of Volcano Monitoring in the United States

This year, the USGS is proud to celebrate 100 years of continuous volcano monitoring in the United States.

Monitoring began in 1912, when Thomas A. Jaggar, Jr., of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, founded the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) in the then U.S. territory of Hawai'i.

The HVO became a permanent part of the USGS in 1947, and today the USGS Volcano Hazards Program monitors volcanoes across the United States and helps monitor others around the world — watching for signs of unrest that can lead to hazardous conditions, learning more about volcanic processes and risks, and helping to make communities safer.

Living with Volcanoes in Hawai'i

"Volcanoes are an important part of life on Hawai'i Island, and all of us who live here must learn to live safely within the dynamics of an ever-changing volcanic environment," said Jim Kauahikaua, HVO's Scientist-in-Charge. "Part of this celebration is recognizing the tremendous advances we've seen in the methods, tools, and technology used to study Hawaiian volcanoes and how that has helped lead to a remarkable increase in our understanding of how volcanoes work."

"The HVO helps ensure the safety and welfare of citizens of our island by forecasting potential destructive volcanic activity," said Quince Mento, former Administrator, Hawai'i County Civil Defense Agency. "Without the HVO's dedicated staff our public safety agencies would not be able to mitigate loss of life and property in a timely fashion. We celebrate HVO's 100th anniversary and its continued role in protecting our island residents and advancing the science of volcanology."

Built by Lava

Lava first erupted above sea level more than 500,000 years ago to begin forming the Island of Hawai'i. Since then, countless eruptions from its five volcanoes have built the "Big Island" to a towering height of more than 4,000 m (13,000 ft).

Hawai'i's two most active volcanoes —  Mauna Loa and Kilauea — erupt lava frequently enough to pose a serious hazard to property on many parts of the island. About 40 percent of Mauna Loa, the most massive volcano on Earth, has been covered by lava in the past 1,000 years, and over 90 percent of Kilauea's surface is covered by lava less than 1,100 years old.

The current eruption of Kilauea has been ongoing since 1983, and HVO staff members have been dedicated to helping keep people safe. In 1990, for example, lava flows threatened the town of Kalapana. During this difficult period, HVO scientists provided detailed information 7 days a week on lava movement to the Hawai'i County Civil Defense, which made decisions regarding evacuation, road closures, and safe vantage points for residents and visitors.

As land development expands toward areas of relatively high volcanic hazard, the threat to life and property on Hawai'i will increase accordingly.

"Volcanic activity and its associated earthquakes are responsible for Hawai'i's fertile soil, rainfall, isolated habitat for unique species, breathtaking natural beauty, but also, unfortunately, its geologic hazards," said Marcia McNutt, USGS Director.

USGS Mitigating Volcano Hazards around the World

The USGS Volcano Hazards Program monitors volcanoes across the United States and helps monitor others around the world for signs of unrest that can lead to hazardous conditions. The USGS and its partners also issue warnings of impending eruptions to help prevent loss of life and property.

The USGS now operates five volcano observatories monitoring volcanic activity throughout the United States and its territories:

• Alaska Volcano Observatory (Alaska and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands);
• Cascades Volcano Observatory (Idaho, Oregon and Washington);
• Long Valley Observatory (California and Nevada);
• Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming); and
• Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (Hawai'i).

Each observatory provides regular updates of volcanic activity within its area of responsibility with updates becoming more frequent as activity escalates.

In addition, the USGS provides long-term volcano hazard assessments for a growing number of volcanoes, provides public education materials about volcano hazards, and participates in emergency management exercises meant to assure public safety during times of volcanic crises.

A national assessment and plan for U.S. volcano monitoring, called the National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS), was proposed in 2005 to establish a proactive, fully integrated, national-scale monitoring effort that ensures the most threatening volcanoes in the United States are properly monitored in advance of the onset of unrest and at levels commensurate with the threats posed.

You can watch volcanoes in real time on USGS webcams throughout Hawai'i.

Join USGS Celebratory Events in Hawai'i

In celebration of its centennial milestone, the HVO is hosting events throughout the year, with most activities in January during Hawai'i's Volcano Awareness Month. These public events will help promote awareness of Hawai'i's active volcanoes and the importance of understanding how volcanoes and earthquakes can impact island communities. Public programs and activities on Hawai'i Island, held in cooperation with the National Park Service and the University of Hawai'i at Hilo, include island-wide talks by HVO scientists and guided hikes in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.

A centennial open house will be held at HVO on Saturday, January 21, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"The activities planned during Volcano Awareness Month are an engaging and stimulating way for residents and visitors alike to learn more about the fascinating processes that have formed and continue to shape these enormous volcanic features and how to live safely in the vicinity of such powerful geologic forces," said McNutt.

For more information about HVO Volcano Awareness Month programs and centennial events, please visit the HVO website, email askHVO@usgs.gov, or call (808) 967-8844.

Romney Wins New Hampshire G.O.P. Primary, Projections Show

Mitt Romney has won the New Hampshire Republican primary, projections show, achieving a sweep of the first two critical contests in the 2012 presidential race and boosting his chances at becoming his party's nominee this fall.

The New York Times and other news organizations declared Mr. Romney the winner in the race just moments after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time, based on exit polls and early returns. The margin of his victory and the order of those behind him remain uncertain until more votes are counted.

Mr. Romney barely won Iowa's caucuses a week ago, besting Rick Santorum by a mere eight votes out of more than one hundred thousand cast.

Mr. Romney's second White House bid had been premised from the beginning on the idea that he could win in New Hampshire, a state he has all-but adopted as his own in the years since Senator John McCain dashed his hopes here.
