Cost of resettling Jewish evacuees from Gaza estimated $1 billion dollars-
The cost of resettling Jewish evacuees from Gaza has reached as high as $1 billion dollars according to a study prepared for a Knesset committee dealing with the issue. According to the report, government stinginess led to costly delays in housing accommodations, which in turn put off reentry into the job market, costing the State sums significantly higher than might have been paid in the form of a more generous compensation arrangement for each settler, at the start. Twenty-eight months after disengagement, some 85 percent of former Gush Katif residents are still living in temporary quarters.

Researchers discover earth's pulse-
Researchers reporting in the journal Science have discovered evidence of very faint non-volcanic tremors deep in the earth's crust that ebb and flow with the rise and fall of the ocean's tides. To make the discovery, scientists deployed arrays of seismic sensors off the coast of Cascadia, in the Pacific Northwest near the Cascadian subduction zone that separates the North American tectonic plate and several other of the rigid plates that compose the Earth's surface. The results demonstrated that the tremors actually pulse to tidal motions, possibly influenced by very weak fault lines that give way to even very small gravitational fluctuations.
