22 March 2014| last updated at 03:34PM High-tech satellites and sophisticated radar systems have so far found no trace of the plane that vanished two weeks ago, forcing rescuers to switch tack in the search for any possible debris from Flight MH370.

Australian authorities, who are coordinating the search in a vast region 2,500 kilometres (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, said Friday that teams were prioritising visual clues over radar after poor weather had hampered the operation.

In the northern sector of the plane's projected flightpath, eyes and binoculars are also in use as rescuers checking Southeast Asian seas battle turbulence and a blazing sun as the arduous hunt enters its third week.

Six aircraft flew low over Australia's search zone on Saturday with skilled observers looking out of the windows in an operation Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said was "intensive".

"While these aircraft are equipped with very advanced technology, much of this search is actually visual -- using the eyes of men and women to be able to look across the ocean and try and pick up any pieces of debris and parts that perhaps may be related to this aircraft's disappearance," he told reporters.

This years long blast of snow and frigid temperatures has delivered one rough winter, and it may have brought on something else that homeowners would never even expect this time of year: mold in the attic.

This winter has been particularly harsh on Michigan attics. The extreme low temperatures cause a greater temperature difference on the underside of the roof decking causing frost, ice damming and subsequent mold growth on surfaces, said Brian Carson, president of Elliot Environmental, Bay City.

A common misconception is that attic mold problems are caused by a roof leak. Although this is possible it is not the typical cause, Carson explained.

In Michigan, mold in attics is typically caused by conditions in the attic space. The cause of these conditions could be one or a combination of the following; lack of proper cross ventilation, lack of insulation, improper venting of bathroom or range hood fans and sometimes improper venting of clothes dryers.

This temperature difference or humidity causes the underside of the roof decking or sheathing to become damp. Because the roof decking material is a food source, mold begins to grow on the surfaces of the damp wood.

But there are many ways that homeowners can take action.

Take a look through the attic to assess dark areas, spotty areas, frost accumulation. If you identify what you think may be a mold issue, you should contact a mold professional for advice, Carson said. If you do not identify a mold issue and have questions regarding the adequacy of your cross ventilation or the level or R factor of the insulation in the attic, its best to call a professional to ensure that all is good.

It is better to contact a professional general contractor for this type of cleanup as a homeowner does not have the tools, personal protection or experience to perform this type of work.

Check your attic. Prevention is the key, Carson stressed. When it comes to mold, time is not on your side. Mold in attics can and will get worse over time if the cause is not corrected.

And the work can be quite extensive. For one, it is imperative to identify and address the cause or causes. At Elliot Environmental, a typical attic mold remediation project takes its crews one full day to complete. It involves isolating the attic space under negative pressure via HEPA air filtration machines, removing all surface contamination, applying an EPA registered anti-microbial and in most cases a fungicidal protective coating.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) A serial arsonist is accused of targeting dozens of doorsteps across Louisville.

The latest fires happen March 20 along Weather Way and Silver Springs Drive around 1 a.m. where investigators say the door wreaths were intentionally set on fire.

[PREVIOUS STORY:Arsonist sets fire to more than a dozen holiday wreaths on front doors]

A charred front door is an all too familiar sight for neighbors in Hikes Point.

"Typically they are spaced anywhere from 10 to 30 days apart," said Major Henry Ott with Louisville Metro Arson.

Since December of 2012 arson investigators have been trying to catch the person responsible for now setting a total of 40 fires on people's front porches.

"We've had descriptions of females, we've had possible descriptions of males, but at this point we are not eliminating anything," said Ott.

It's happening between Six Mile Lane and Hikes Lane and Taylorsville Road and Hurtsbourne Parkway.

Helen Klapheke walked to check out the damage to her neighbor's house on Weather Way.

"It's much worse than what we had in our home," said Klapheke.

9:18pm, Fri 21 Mar 2014 Russia agrees for security monitors to go to Ukraine - last updated Sat 22 Mar 2014 Fracking's supporters believe as America becomes the world's biggest producer of natural gas it can rival and even supplant Russia. Photo: Reuters/Pablo Martinez Monsivais

The Stars and Stripes flutter over the shaded porches of clapper board homes.

Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania could be Anytown, USA. It is by any measure an unlikely front line in what some see as a looming Cold War.

They call the hills round here the Endless Mountains.

No one knows how big are the supplies of shale gas hidden beneath, but supporters of the controversial fracking industry here believe they could be America's most potent weapon in the stand-off with Russia.

The theory is seductive. As America becomes the world's biggest producer of natural gas it can rival and even supplant Russia.

Moscow derives huge income and influence from the energy on which Europe is dependent.

But what is a source of Russian power could also be a source of Russian vulnerability.

Some even draw a lesson from history.

Just as the nuclear arms race in the 1980s bankrupted the old Soviet Union, so America's dash for gas could eventually cripple Putin's Russia.
