The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is now directly on the wrong side, despite President Obama recent assurances. Yesterday the Corps instructed the Sheriff’s Department of Morton County, North Dakota, to remove anyone who trespassed on the public lands where Native American artifacts were discovered last month. So the Sheriff’s Department used pepper spray and tear gas against Native American protesters and their supporters who were approaching the land over a creek, and arrest⋯⋯

Ford's Unbuilt Car Snags 1,000+ Pre-Orders Online

Ford Motor said Wednesday that it has collected more than 1,000 online pre-orders for its new subcompact, thanks to a recently launched car-reservation site.

Mohole, Project, program proposed in 1957 to drill a hole down to the boundary between the crust and the mantle, known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity at about 4 to 43 mi (7 to 70 km) below the earth's surface. Initiated by the American Miscellaneous Society, a loose organization of scientists, the main purposes of the project were to determine the nature of this boundary and to attempt to fill gaps in the geologic record from samples of the rocks encountered. The technology of such a project, however, was beyond the state of drilling technology at that time. Groups such as the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Science eventually backed phase 1, in which five holes were drilled off the coast of Mexico, the most successful entering 601 ft (183 m) into the ocean floor under 2.2 mi (3.5 km) of water. The project was abandoned by 1966, as funding to support the ever-increasing costs of the project failed to gain congressional approval. Nevertheless, ship positioning and design, along with deepwater drilling technology developed for Project Mohole, were employed in the Deep Sea Drilling Project and future drilling projects.
