From the Community: Earthquakes, immigration and strontium found in Japan's groundwater

We're taking a look at some of the most popular stories from the Current community, and we've rounded up some highlights from to share. Check them out and add your two cents:
Two Earthquakes Strike New Zealand Within 90 Minutes of Each OtherSubmitted by EthicalVegan
Two earthquakes struck within minutes of each other near Christchurch, New Zealand, which suffered a deadly 6.3 quake in February.

"It was quite an exciting ride," Christchurch Police Acting Inspector Murray Hurst told CNN after the first quake, adding that there was some damage caused by the quake and a few injuries that were not life-threatening.

Alabama's harsh new immigration law explainedSubmitted by chipokae
Salon takes a look at the new immigration law passed in Alabama, and some of the harsh provisions it includes.

I think one of the sponsors of the bill summed up it best when he said: "This is the Arizona law with an Alabama twist." It is everything that was included in Arizona's SB 1070 -- including everything that was enjoined by the courts when they evaluated that bill. The twist is a provision in the Alabama law that requires schools to determine and verify immigration status of any student who is enrolling and any parent of students who are enrolling. The bill's backers are saying that this is constitutional because they are not turning people away from schools. The schools are not supposed to turn people away, but they are required to collect this data and to report it to the Legislature. This is clearly in violation of existing Supreme Court precedent, because it will in fact have a chilling effect on immigrant children enrolling in school.
There's also a prohibition on renting in the law. It is a crime for a landlord to rent an apartment if they knew or should have known that the tenant is undocumented. Also under the law, if a person enters into a contract with someone who they know to be an undocumented immigrant, that contract is unenforceable in the state courts.

Strontium found in groundwater for first time (in Japan)Submitted by KB723
Strontium has been found in groundwater near the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.

Nuclear regulatory authorities reported finding the dangerously radioactive element near the damaged reactors 1 and 2.

Iran: the 10 lies they tell you - Part 1

translated from French by Aimee Kligman

A small article to break the rumors propaganda's neck about Iran that accumulate in the media and the French population for several years. All you have 'heard' here and there, that does not make sense, but that people repeat all day long. Or how to manipulate your minds so that you hate Iran.

The first 5:

1) 'Iran is an Arab country that was civilized by Europeans'

False. It's a weird idea prevalent in the minds of many Europeans in general think that all countries in the Middle East are ancient Arab countries or French or English colonies. Yet Iran, a country four times larger than France, is one of seven non-European countries around the world that were never colonized. Iran or literally 'land of Aryans' is the name chosen by emperor Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1935 to name what remained of the Persian territories following the partition of the empire and after the French and German teams discovered Persepolis and the remnants of the 3000 year-old Persian Empire, to whom we owe the invention and spread of the cuneiform alphabet and writing, the Silk Road, the tales of 1001 Nights, irrigation canals, the chess game, the first air conditioning, the first human dissections (Avicenna), the discovery of methyl alcohol, the invention of zero, a very large part of algebra and geometry (often unfairly called 'Arabic' mathematics), but also the system of modern armies (invented by Darius I and copied 500 years later by the Romans), the 'steam bath' (hammam is a Persian word), saffron, caviar, Persian rugs, painted Easter eggs, December 25 (birth of Zarathustra, replaced by the birth of Jesus in the Christian calendar). In Iran, we do not speak Arabic, but Persian, (Farsi) an Indo-Aryan language group that also includes the French language ...

2) 'Iran is linked to Al Qaeda and was involved in the September 11th attacks'
