Existencia 鈥� Seismic Sensations
At 4:31 a.m. on January 17, 1994, Southern California was shaken violently awake by a 6.7 earthquake tremor, what is now known as the Northridge earthquake. At the epicenter, Cal State University Northridge suffered some of the most serious damage and the campus gained the dubious title of having suffered the most destruction of any U.S. university from a natural disaster. The university refused to close, continuing classes in rented trailers and other makeshift facilities despite interruption in services, roads, and public transportation. -- Cultural Daily

Ruth Ashton Taylor, Pioneering Broadcast Journalist, Dies at 101
鈥淭aylor says she always approached her stories any way she liked. She justified her attitude by saying she must be giving the woman鈥檚 view because it was her view and she was, of course, a woman. Thus she would do stories on things such as cars and airplanes, but she would also do pieces on what would classically be described as women鈥檚 stories, such as on fashion,鈥� according to Suzanne Haibach Marteney, who wrote a doctoral thesis on Taylor鈥檚 career for Cal State Northridge in 1986. 鈥淗owever, Taylor鈥檚 reasoning for doing these stories would not always fit the classical stereotype. For instance, she says she always enjoyed doing fashion stories because fashion was a reflection of our changing society.鈥� -- Yahoo! Movies
