Current Events Mar.22/11

Japanese Nuclear Reactor Narumi Suzuki said that the crews that work on the reactors that are put at risk is not his fault. The crews are being exposed to nuclear radiation on a daily basis. The crews are running out of food, water and fuel. There lights up at the site that are now active, this is helping fight the corrosion of metals, the crews are now able to see safely. They; now have reactor #1 and #2 cooled because of having power and reactor three is still being cooled by the use of trucks, but running out of fuel could affect this.The radiation is so bad that the pilots can not fly close enough to drop water on reactor # 4 without causing permanent tissue damage.

I believe that the Japanese Government could have prevented this from getting so bad. They could have contained the radiation by pouring lead based cement on the reactors when this disaster first occurred. The United States has cement over theirs in case of a potential system fail. Pouring lead based cement over the reactors will stop radiation from leeching out. They are disposing their spent fuel rods by pouring cold water on them keeping the temperature at -10. America is taking their rods to Colorado to be disposed of properly. The Japanese Government could learn something from the U.S. Ethan: A very interesting story for you to share. Be sure to answer the question “how does this affect people on a global scale? (7). Try to provide a more in depth answer.

Cournal Kadaffee has not taken any ground with supperior troups. he has more fire power but cannot make a decisive push. Nor has the anti-kadaffee troups has not made a push. no ground has been lost.

Well if the army's are more

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13360794 should us and Russia destroy their small pox stock

The disease once killed 30% of those infected, but after a global vaccination campaign it was declared eradicated in 1980. However the variola virus, which causes the infection, is not gone. It exists in two laboratories, one in the US and the other in Russia. The question is about to be asked, once again: should they kill their stocks? [|Continue reading the main story]==Smallpox facts== The World Health Organization (WHO) will come to a decision at the [|64th World Health Assembly] this week. It is not the first time the issue has arisen, it was first discussed at the Assembly in 1986 and has been the source of debate ever since. Are stocks still needed? Destroying the remaining stocks is seen in parts as the final chapter in eradicating the disease, otherwise there is always the risk of accidental release. Others including the US and Russia argue for more research in case smallpox returns, possibly as a biological weapon. They fear vials of the virus could exist outside of their labs. The genomes of around 50 strains of the variola virus have also been fully sequenced, and research has already shown that [|a virus can be built from scratch] with such a blueprint. Professor Geoffrey Smith, from Imperial College London, has been following the latest research on smallpox. He says studies have been focused on three areas - tests to diagnose the infection quickly and accurately, antiviral drugs to treat it and safer vaccines to prevent it. He led a [|review of the state of scientific research] on behalf of the WHO, which was published at the end of 2010, and concluded there had been "remarkable advances" in tests for smallpox.
 * Caused by the variola virus
 * The virus originated over 3,000 years ago in India or Egypt
 * Symptoms include fever, muscle pain, headache, tiredness and the distinctive rash
 * It killed 30% of those infected
 * More than 300 million people were thought to have died from smallpox in the 20th century alone
 * Up to 80% of survivors were marked with deep pitted scars, mostly on the face

i say destroy the virus we do not need it. the weaponizing of such a deadly virus is a great threat that us and Russia should be forced to destroy it and not create more vials. Canada and the states used it against the natives and kill 3 thousand people to exterminate a few tribes
