Strong earthquake strikes near Russia; Tsunami warnings issued for Japan, U.S
A massive magnitude-8.7 (possibly 8.8) earthquake struck near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula Wednesday morning, prompting the Japanese government to issue tsunami warnings and evacuations along its northeastern coast, while warnings have been issued for much of the U.S. West Coast. If confirmed as an 8.8 strike, it would be among the 10 largest earthquakes ever recorded and the largest since 2011, when a 9.1 earthquake struck Japan, resulting in a tsunami that killed over 18,000 people and destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

The Bubble Is Bursting: Delinquency Rates Have Doubled, And Credit Card Defaults Are Soaring
Did you know that U.S. households are carrying $1.18 trillion in credit card debt? Considering the fact that the average rate of interest on credit card balances is now over 20 percent, that is not good news at all. Sadly, most of the country is just barely scraping by from month to month in this very harsh economic environment, and turning to credit cards for some relief can be extremely tempting. A thousand-dollar credit card balance can turn into four or five thousand dollars in the blink of an eye, and once you get that deep into the hole, it can be very difficult to ever dig yourself out. Of course, if you end up losing your job or having a major medical emergency, that can be enough to push you completely over the edge financially. Today, that is happening to an alarming number of Americans.
