A massive flood of meltwater poured out of Iceland's Myrdalsjoekull glacier Saturday, raising fears of an eruption from the powerful Katla volcano underneath, but experts said a large blast was unlikely. "At around 3:00 am (0300 GMT) ... we had a glacial meltwater runoff from underneath the glacier," Evgenia Ilyinskaya, a volcanologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told AFP. The giant flood took out a bridge and part of the main road that circles Iceland and prompted evacuations, but there were no reports of injuries. The flooding sparked fears of an eruption at Katla, known to be one of Iceland's most powerful volcanoes and located just southeast of Eyjafjoell, notorious for last year's flight-halting gigantic ash cloud. But experts said geothermal heat, and not an eruption, might be the culprit behind the flow of meltwater. "There is always meltwater because there is geothermal heat under the glacier. So the meltwater builds up and finally floods down," Ilyinskaya pointed out. "While we can't say for sure there was not a small subglacial eruption that caused it, we don't see any signs of it coming up to the surface," she said. And according to Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland, the floods had begun subsiding by Saturday afternoon. "There are two possibilities: it is a volcanic eruption, and then it seems to be a small one, or it is only geothermal water," he told AFP. If there had in fact been a small subglacial eruption, he ...

As Social Security emerged as a target in White House budget negotiations, Sen. Bernie Sanders insisted that the retirement program must not be cut as part of any deficit reduction deal. "Let us be clear," Sanders said. "Social Security has not contributed one nickel to our deficit or our national debt." The program that benefits more than 50 million seniors and disabled has a $2.6 trillion surplus, he stressed, and will be able to provide full benefits for every eligible American for the next 25 years. "I am especially disturbed that President Obama is considering cuts in Social Security after he campaigned against cuts in 2008," Sanders added.
