Analyzing CA’s DACA challenge, the effectiveness of telethons, earthquake forecasting

Calfornia files a lawsuit over DACA, are telethons actually effective? How earthquake forecasting may be California's best bet against 'the big one.'
A Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG) officer points to a screen graphic at the BMG office of a 6.5-magnitude earthquake that struck North Sulawesi province on January 21, 2007 on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Many aftershocks have been recorded since an initial earthquake that caused panic but no serious damage. An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 has shaken Indonesia's North Sulawesi province again on January 24, 2007 but there have been no immediate reports of any damage.
