Realmente no recuerdo la última vez que entrené la carrera a pie dos días consecutivos. Probablemente, y sin exagerar, hará más de 5 o 6 meses. Ufff, mucho tiempo, y pensaba que este momento no llegaría, pero entre el lunes (12kms) y este martes (10'5kms) he podido encadenar dos entrenamientos seguidos de running, sin ninguna molestia por fin en la tíbia, que me ha tenido parado casi 2 meses sin trotar. Puedo decir al fin que me he recuperado completamente de la periostitis y que estoy listo de again in order to enjoy running and compete without worrying rate not to happen, not to do too much volume, in not having to leave a week of recovery after each workout pedestrian ...
rhythms followed on Monday were satisfactory, but on Tuesday they have left me with better taste, and can run the last 2kms below 3'30''/ km without going to the sword.
Much of this good career rehabilitation to have the "cross training", namely that of spinning and the road bike, where I'm getting more miles than usual, so maintaining a good level of muscular endurance and a good speed.
Now, after a downturn, I face the last few months leading up to Ironman Nice butt morality.
Saturday Morning with a large-scale introduction of what will be hereafter a large group of friends and sports fans triathlon and cycling. In the absence of the official presentation in Accura on Saturday March 2, the i3Team is underway! Thank you all for making this possible.
111kms with 1800m of altitude accumulated. A good debut.
War of Libya each week costs € 200 million to the member countries
NATO ignores the armed conflict, U.S. is Iraq and not want to shoot a bullet through the European oil from Libya, each country takes action without centralized control, an adventure that some European countries are undertaking and do not know where they will take.
Each week costs € 200 million to the countries of the new coalition of allies with his glorious "Dawn of Odyssey" as its name suggests is a colonial adventure.
In a world where the global crisis is caused by large financial corporations, where governments are in solidarity with the banks and where people are exploited economically and labor ... in a world that's where you live. In a world where the ultimate interest of the oligarchic caste is the welfare of citizens.
I invite you to listen to the next video programming where we give them some outrageous epic economic data and possible delay in time.
Another Friday more smoothly. This time rolling in the territory of Alfonso, with whom I've crossed and I decided to accompany him on his training. Completely flat profile, without punishing the legs, covering almost twice the circuit Ginesta Port-Airport (35 km each way), finishing with a good 60 km in 1h58 ', adding also a spinning session first thing in the morning. Saturday Morning heat a little more touch the legs with a generous travel just over 100 kms.

Statement on the Potential use of depleted uranium in Libya
At the time of writing there is no definitive evidence that depleted uranium munitions have been used in joint US, UK, French and Italian attacks on Libya. However there is potential for them to be used and ICBUW reminds belligerents of their obligations under IHL. 21 March 2011 - ICBUW ICBUW is concerned that the current use of US Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier ground attack aircraft could lead to DU contamination should their cannon be deployed against ground targets. ICBUW is also concerned that the potential for contamination may increase significantly as the conflict develops if US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt ground attack aircraft are deployed.
The majority of platforms that fire DU are land-based, although some air and sea-based platforms have also been developed. The only air-based platforms currently in service with the countries currently involved in the conflict are the US A-10 Thunderbolt and the AV-8B Harrier.
A US AV8B Harrier
AV-8B Harrier The AV-8B Harrier is fielded by the US Marine Corps, and is known to have fired around 11 tons (9,979kg) of DU during the 1991 Gulf War. The AV-8B fires 20mm ammunition from a rotary cannon mounted in a twin pod on the underside of the aircraft. A range of ammunition is available for this cannon, and the DU based round, the PGU-20/U Armour Piercing Incendiary (API) round is said by some sources to have been taken out of service. However, recent US federal procurement documents describe it as being in the Department of Defence’s inventory, so its use in the current conflict cannot be ruled out.
Photo infowars . A US Marines press release on the 20th March stated that AV-8B Harriers from the 26th Marine Expeditionary unit, based on USS Kearsarge attacked ground forces and air defences in Libya. While dropping aerial munitions is more likely to have taken place than the cannon being used in strafing runs, it remains possible that these aircraft have deployed, or will deploy, DU weapons.
A10-Thunderbolt The A-10 fires a mixture of DU-based armour piercing, and non-DU high explosive rounds from a rotary cannon mounted below the cockpit. The A-10 is the platform responsible for most of the DU fired in Iraq in both 1991 and 2003, and all of the DU fired in the Balkans.
At present there are no reports that the A-10 has been deployed in the current hostilities, but its cannon was designed for attacking armoured vehicles, so it is a possible contender for future deployment.
However, the A-10s slow speed and short range mean it is not likely to be deployed in this phase of the conflict. At present, air attacks are being undertaken from long distances and forces loyal to Moammar Ghadaffi are thought to be in possession of considerable quantities of man portable surface to air missiles, to which the A-10 is vulnerable.
Bunker busters and cruise missiles It has long been alleged that DU, or even enriched uranium, is used in US ‘bunker busters’ and other large air-launched bombs and missiles. ICBUW has followed-up all allegations of this sort in detail, and is yet to have found compelling evidence to substantiate these allegations. While cruise missiles have been fitted with dummy DU warheads to simulate nuclear warheads during testing, and some ground penetrating nuclear weapons have utilised a DU warhead, ICBUW believes that claims for the widespread use of uranium in similar conventional applications remain highly speculative. Furthermore, the Serbian authorities found no evidence of DU contamination at sites struck by cruise missiles within their country, although they did pick up traces of contamination at sites given a clean bill of health by the United Nations Environment Programme.
As such, ICBUW does not have any reason to believe that any weapons of this sort containing DU have been fielded in the current conflict.
Legality of the use of depleted uranium Although the French, British, US and Italian actions have approval from the UN Security Council, the mandate under resolution 1973 is for the protection of civilians. Furthermore, all belligerents are bound by the conventions of International Humanitarian Law, including the obligation to protect civilians from harm during conflict. The use of weapons such as depleted uranium, which cause long-lasting contamination and present a hazard to combatants and non-combatants alike, run contrary to these obligations, and should not be countenanced in any conflict, particularly by parties who claim their motivation is the protection of civilians.
ICBUW repeats calls for warring parties to affirm publically that they will not use DU weapons in this conflict, and urges all sides to abide by their obligations under International Humanitarian Law to protect civilian life.
ICBUW will continue to monitor the situation closely.
With the arrival of spring, and next time change,'d rather go out and ride a bike in the afternoon. In my case it has been this Monday afternoon, welcoming the blossoming season, this time alone, going from Castelldelfels, to Costas, reaching Vilanova and then undoing the road. 61 kms in just 1h57 ', to an average of 31.5 km / h. The feeling on the goat will crescendo.
The spring sun is starting to bite

In short, a good start to the week with almost 2h45 'pedal (A kind of spinning + bike exit) and 20 '+ arms abdominal work.
Putin: 'The resolution UN is like a medieval appeal to a cross'
El primer ministro ruso ha sido muy contundente en su condena a Western reaction to Libya: "The UN resolution seems medieval," he said.
Vladimir Putin has compared the text with the calls of the medieval crusades. "The resolution is flawed and erroneous" he said during a visit to a factory in Russia's ballistic missiles. "Everything is allowed. It resembles the call of the medieval crusades."
Putin said that if you read the content of the resolution, "is absolutely clear that allows everyone to take any action against a sovereign state ." More critical
Since the beginning of the allied operation in the Muslim country, Russia has distanced himself and criticized the bombing of strategic targets like bridges. "These air strikes are not covered by the latest UN resolution," said dominfo the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow. "We regret this armed intervention under the UN resolution 1973 which was passed in haste."
The resolution was intended to protect civilians, but the air strikes on bridges and other purely military targets and not left at least 48 civilians dead, according to Libyan officials.
In this sense, this Monday, Russia's ambassador to NATO, Dmitri Rogozin said that the actions of member countries participating in NATO military operation against the regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi frames exceed the resolution of the Security Council of the UN. "I think the attacks against facilities that have nothing to do with aviation, including anti-aircraft defenses, airfields, air targets, get out of the stated objectives and may not correspond with the Security Council resolution."
Low has served the call that the U.S. defense secretary, Robert Gates , who called on Russia to consider participating in international coalitions.
Tornado fighter aircraft fired missiles in the British army in Libya, the first attack for aviation in Britain as part of the military intervention of the international community in the North African country , said Sunday of Defence in London.
"I can confirm that the RAF (Royal Air Force) have also launched missiles from Stormshadow GR4 Tornado fighter aircraft," said British military spokesman, Gen. John Lorimer.
teleSUR special envoy to Tripoli, Jordan Rodriguez, reported from hotel where the press is housed in the Libyan capital''at 2:30 local time (00:30 am GMT) was felt a heavy raid in the city, you hear the shooting military units, feel the smoke ".
said that initially the bombing, which lasted about 10 minutes, it was working very closely''the building where the international press is housed (...) hotel windows shook with the bombing, the indicating the proximity of the same, "he said.
Rodriguez said the hotel is located near a residential area containing a mosque and a major hospital in Tripoli.
"The sound guidance bombings and shootings is to the residential area and hospital of Tripoli, "said the journalist.
Similarly reminded that minutes" before these bombings in Tripoli was calm and people were demonstrating in the streets. "
A large number of supporters of the Libyan leader had gathered near the residence of Muammar Gaddafi, "do not know what happened to the large number of people who were against Gaddafi's residence, follow the bombing hearing" the journalist said teleSUR .
First balence killed by Western attacks
At least 48 people were killed as a result of aerial bombardment and missiles launched by the Western coalition led by the United States, France and the UK, against various cities in Libya, an official said the Libyan Government to the international press.
A "48 people died, including 26 in Tripoli," said the source, who requested anonymity said that "the balance was tentative."
United States and Britain announced Saturday that they had fired over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles, from their ships and submarines against targets in the Libyan coast, including air defense systems and strategic communication enclaves.
teleSUR journalist, Jordan Rodriguez said that "so far been confirmed bombings in the cities of Zuara (west), Tripoli, Misrata (noroste) and Benghazi (northeast)."
international media showed photos of victims
Various international media on Saturday showed photos of those killed in foreign military aggression, which was approved Thursday by the Security Council of the United Nations Organization ( UN). The images confirm the versions of the Government of the North African country.
The government of Muammar Al Gaddafi charged that hundreds of civilians are injured due to attacks foreign military against Libya despite the North African nation announced a cease-fire and invited the international community to send observers to contain the situation in the country.
"Supposedly this aggression is for the protection of civilians, but this contradicts what has happened on land tonight, a lot of civilians have been hurt by the attack tonight," said the president of the country's congress North African.
added, "are filling our hospitals and many ambulances are doing what they can to save lives."
also the special envoy said teleSUR "Do not know how many casualties there, but east of Tripoli hospitals are crowded with injured civilians from attacks by the coalition"
reported that the media are showing images of casualties and severe civilian casualties supported Gaddafi.
said that one speaks of an unspecified number of Redlining and Sunday take journalists to areas of the attacks.
The first attack occurred Saturday when a French warplane fired at 16:45 pm Libya GMT destroying four tanks of the army. Later
U.S. forces and fired at least Bitan 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles in Libya against air defense sites of the Libyan Government.
Libya on Saturday called for an urgent meeting of the Security Council of the UN after the start of an international military operation against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, said the Foreign Ministry in a statement carried by official news agency Jana.
Resolution 1973 adopted last Thursday by the Security Council of United Nations authorized the use of military force against Libya and the installation of an air exclusion zone.
Britain bombed Tripoli Libya Operation: government recognition of opposition is a pretext for Plutonium military intervention
by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya Global Research, March 17, 2011 Rebellion - 03/14/2011
is fast approaching eighth anniversary of the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq in 2001.
Many ask, have you learned anything?
Senior officials in the U.S. foreign policy and the European Union have indeed "learned some lessons," but not those that are highly regarded in most Americans and Europeans.
Speaking in the context of international law, U.S. leaders and the EU have learned to "leave no trace" effectively. These leaders have learned from the various attempts and initiatives to bring to justice to George W. Bush Jr., Tony Blair, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and his co-conspirators for having initiated internationally illegal war against Iraq.
U.S. leaders and the EU are building up the legal basis to justify the implementation of their plans for war against the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.
The Council of Hypocrisy
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is an organization formed by petro-emiratos/reinos of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. They have betrayed Palestine, worked against Iraq, gave back to Lebanon, and now conspire against Libya, along with Washington and Brussels.
In a blatant act of hypocrisy, the leaders of these emirates and kingdoms have announced that Qaddafi's regime is "illegitimate." Forbes said the following about the announcement of GCC:
"The nations of the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have withdrawn all support for Muammar al-Gaddafi to declare "illegitimate" the regime ... "[1] Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, UAE, and Kuwait withdrew their recognition of the Gaddafi regime as the legal government of Libya.
addition, the GCC announced: "On the situation in Libya, the Council denounced the crimes committed against civilians through the use of live ammunition and heavy weapons and recruitment of mercenaries, killing a large number of innocent victims and the formation of gross violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. " [2]
What is striking in these statements and the statement of the petro-kingdoms, emirates and that Gaddafi's government is not the legal government of Libya is its extreme hypocrisy. These convictions are expressed by the same leaders who use violence and murder against their own populations. Are also the same Arab leaders who use mercenaries and violate themselves openly and continuously for human rights and international humanitarian law.
Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain all recently used violence against peaceful civilian demonstrators in many cases people asking basic human rights such as equality and legal recognition. In Bahrain, tanks fired on protesters Pearl Plaza in Bahrain, something that most mainstream media try to hide. In addition, the GCC also demands ironically the establishment of a zone of "no-fly" on Libya to protect civilians: "The Gulf Cooperation Council demands that the Security Council the UN take all necessary measures to protect civilians, including the imposition of a zone of "no-fly". [3]
These autocratic leaders are among the biggest hypocrites. They are not in position, themselves, to speak on the basis of any form of legitimacy. Nor do any of these autocrats is elected. According to the same principles intended to support, they should ask the UN to intervene also in their states. Consider that also led the movement to stop Libya from the Arab League in Cairo. These leaders have also pressured the Arab League to support any confrontation with Libya in the form of no-fly zones. [4]
Qatar Orwellian
iconic Otherwise, Doha has approved a so-called "law of freedom of the media." Since the laws of media freedom in Israel, the law effectively restricts the freedoms of the media using a logic and Orwellian doublespeak. The Peninsula newspaper in English Qatar, said:
"A new media law [in Qatar] is being prepared preliminary draft of which suggests that journalists have the freedom to write about, with the exception of having to do with national security and countries friends. " [5]
Meaning Qatari law is a restriction of press freedom. Qatari law indicates that journalists are free to report anything "except" in subjects related to political allies and friends, or national security matters in Qatar. The "friendly countries" would include Bahrain and Oman, which would explain why Al-Jazeera network barely covers the protests in those countries and ignores the killing of peaceful demonstrators at the hands of the Bahraini military and foreign mercenaries under the command of the Al-Khalifa. The Peninsula
also reports:
"Some journalists Qataris see the initiative as a ploy to return 'in a new avatar' the disbanded Ministry of Information that press censorship imposed until 1995.
"is too well known the role that information and culture ministry had in the past (a reference to censorship of the media)," said Al Athbah Abudulla, a prominent writer and columnist Qatari. "[6] Qatari This law also embodies the politics and interests that govern the Al-Jazeera. If supposedly "friendly states" should not be criticized, it means that Libya is "an unfriendly state." This says that the media itself can be used as a weapon. It is worth noting that Hillary Clinton has spoken in support of Al-Jazeera. [7]
legal recognition of the Libyan opposition
U.S. Officials EU and work to create a pretext for a conflict with Libya, are also creating a blanket to prevent future legal prosecution. While GCC leaders declared the government of Colonel Gaddafi is not legitimate, France said legal recognition of the opposition based in Benghazi Libya. Forbes reported: "The initiative comes as many western nations have raised the tone of its rhetoric, France officially recognized the rebel ruling council, and encourages discussion on a no-fly zone in the Security Council and the UN NATO. "[8]
The French initiative is also a demonstration of more hypocritical behavior, because France offered help to the dictatorship in Tunisia Tunisian crush the demonstrators. [9] The European Union as a whole has also granted de facto recognition the leadership in Benghazi, calling it "political party." [10] Deutsche Presse-Agentur (German Press Agency) reports that the EU stated that "no longer willing to negotiate with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and instead hold talks with his opponents, based in the eastern city of Benghazi. " [11] The Arab League has acted in the same way, removing legal recognition of the Gaddafi regime. [12]
None of this is coincidence. These actions are part of an internationally coordinated effort. Washington directs these efforts behind the scenes. The U.S. government is deliberately kept in the shade in order to divert attention.
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, stated that he will meet with Libyan opposition. [13] In an ominous statement, while visiting Chile, Clinton told reporters: "We are in direct contact with members of the opposition, here in the U.S., Libya, other countries, and work with them to determine what assistance [U.S. government] can effectively use [14]
Recognition Transitional Council seeks to justify foreign intervention
Since democracy, international law is a simple matter of convenience and interests for U.S. and major EU powers. Although one might question the moral legitimacy of the regime of Gaddafi, is different according to the terms of international law. [15] Under international law, the regime of Colonel Qaddafi is the legal representative and the government of Libya. Headed for Paris, what they are doing now U.S. and the EU and its allies in the GCC, is to take steps to eliminate the internationally guaranteed rights of the regime in Tripoli to give legal recognition to the opposition.
The purpose of granting official recognition to the opposition based in Benghazi could be used in various ways by the U.S. and its EU allies. The move is part of balkanization strategy for Libya. It also provides what the U.S. and the EU could certainly be used as legal cover for military intervention.
have to listen to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, to understand the meaning of all this. Sarkozy has repeatedly stated that the factors that would justify military intervention: a Security Council resolution authorizing the UN to use force, a broad coalition including the Arabs, and the consent of the "legal government of Libya" [16] is the keeper or enabler.
What is the legal government of Libya as France? Opposition To Paris Libya in Benghazi, the so-called Transitional Council is the legal government of Libya. It is no secret that the Libyan opposition leaders want to establish "no-fly zones." [17] Therefore, the U.S., EU and NATO will try to present a legal argument by saying that the legal representatives of Libya called for international intervention, and use a humanitarian pretext.
The Libyan opposition leaders want action
It should be clear that the reality of the situation is that "no-fly zones" would amount to nothing less than a war of intervention military, which also means it takes soldiers on Libyan soil. The Libyan opposition leaders have also requested military aid. The following is an excerpt on the position of the Libyan opposition in Benghazi:
"We need more than diplomacy. We need a no-fly zone, but we need more than that, "asked Buhaighis Iman, a spokeswoman for the National Transitional Interim Council, the self-declared alternative government in the second city [in size] of Libya. [18]
opposition leaders have been issuing deliberately inconsistent signals. Some say they are opposed to military intervention, but it is fallacious. It should be noted that while the leaders of the opposition Libyan request intervention in Benghazi, Libyan most on both sides oppose the U.S. intervention and NATO.
military to defeat the Libyans, who remain under the command of the Gaddafi regime, the opposition forces need weapons and foreign military intervention. The Globe and Mail had this to say about it:
"Even Abdul Jalil Mustafa, leader of the rebel transitional council, agrees that the rebels can not win by military means," Everyone should know that there is a balance between our capabilities and those of Muammar Gaddafi, "said the former justice minister who defected to the top of the rebellion. [19]
U.S., EU, and NATO will simply try to keep a balance of power between the parties, as the U.S. and its allies did with Iran and Iraq during the Iraq-Iran War. Could do to strengthen its case for military intervention. They could even contemplate while opposition forces are defeated and then impose a regime of sanctions and stiff penalties against Libya. Or they may wait until the opposing forces have been almost completely eliminated and then step through a large-scale air campaign. Towards
Libyan oasis: Another imperial adventure unborn
Behind the smokescreen of so-called diplomacy, U.S. makes its EU allies lead the attack on the international level, due to its international image as an aggressor. What is really at stake is a regime change operation. In the mouth of an unnamed European diplomat quoted by Associated Press (AP): "We are talking about military intervention to get rid of a government [in Libya] and put another in his place [and] only has to do with it." [20 ]
is not really democracy. An unelected interim government will be replaced by another unelected government, which also consists of characters of the system who have deserted. It is also worth noting that one of the key talking points of the European Union for Libya after the conflict is the increased cooperation between Tripoli and Brussels. Simply put, the U.S. objective EU and Libya is to transform into a modern colony.
What takes place is a repeat of Iraq and Yugoslavia. This time, however, the U.S. government and its EU allies are not only creating a humanitarian pretext for confrontation, but also a smart legal cloak lest they be accused of violation of international law as in the case of George W. Bush Jr. and Tony Blair. Washington and Brussels have fanned the flames Libya and want the country by cracking of civil war, and use a sophisticated media disinformation campaign. Are themselves crimes will also be brought to light sooner or later.

As last week (and as is usual from now until summer) Friday morning on two wheels. Today, after giving the spinning class, I come to Joseph to our territory fetish, the Costas Garraf to turn past the gas station in Sitges and return to the airport, but not before being squeezed a bit on the climb to the Maladona, an average of 29 km / h in those 3 miles that lead to the highest point on the road over the sea. Only 3 days left for spring, but as seen today, it seems to be the summer's biting at the door. 52 km in 1h45. This weekend is the next rest cargadita miles.
Coastal Walk with Josep front and two friends followed
Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) is the power company that operates the Japanese sit are nuclear plants in Fukushima Dai Ichi where the explosions occurred and the site Fukushima Daini distant a dozen miles, all totaling ten reactors that supply electricity in Tokyo and its surroundings.
These reactors are boiling water, it is heated by the fission of atoms of the fuel is converted into steam is led directly by a radioactive primary circuit to a power generator, this configuration is completely different from reactors called pressurized water reactors (PWRs) operated in France that have a non-radioactive secondary circuit with a heat exchanger that supplies the turbine generator.
Faced with a succession of disastrous events of natural orders that occurred in Japan following the earthquake and beyond the human tragedy it is essential to go to basics, ie what might mortgaging the future of sustainable living in an area more or less wide, if not in all of Japan and the satellite countries, or worse, a scenario of global environmental disaster ever equaled.
Unfortunately in the case of the Fukushima nuclear site, the "hierarchy disaster" may reach a climax with the reactor 3 to 34 years of age who was responsible for the first time in MOX fuel supplied by AREVA in August 2010.
"Tokyo Electric Power Co loaded plutonium-uranium mixed oxide fuel Saturday Into a reactor" at its nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture in preparation for The Largest Japanese utility's first plutonium-thermal power generation. The No. 3 reactor at Fukushima No. 1 The Would Be The Third Plant in Japan to Be Used For The so-called Pluthermal generation, to The Only One Among the Three to Have Been Subjected to Treatment With 34 years antiaging sincere icts launch "
" The Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) has instructed the mixed oxide fuel of plutonium-uranium (MOX) on Saturday in a reactor of the nuclear plant in Fukushima area to the largest electricity generating nuclear reaction produced plutonium in Japan. " The reactor number 3 at the Fukushima No. 1 will be the third in Japan to pass the so called Pluthermal (Plutonium-Thermal) , but the only one among the three to have been subjected to an anti-aging since its activation, because it is 34 years old "
Under section two explicit comments:
"... incompetence in Japan is high at the maximum level, that way she poses a great danger to humanity ". The second comment was prescient:
" Maybe THEY forgot to tell everyone how they've Determined There Will Never Be Any More Earthquakes. Idiots are Indeed correct. Likely long-term pain for short term gain "
" Maybe they should say how they determined that there would ever earthquake. Say were idiots is correct. There will probably be pain in the long term for gains in the short term "
In another article JAPAN TODAY dated September 18, 2010 , entitled: " The production of Electricity Pluthermal (Plutonium-Thermal) begins on the central Fukushima 1 "
« Lors de l’activation la compagnie a indiqué qu’elle a eu des difficultés à démarrer le réacteur n ° 3 de la centrale située à Fukushima et a reporté l’activation initialement prévue pour vendredi soir. » « The company said the alarm light indicating the conditions of the pipe valve for the emergency core cooling system did not function properly. » « La compagnie a déclaré que le voyant d’alarme indiquant des conditions anormales de la vanne de commande des tuyaux pour le système de refroidissement d’urgence ne fonctionnait pas correctement. »
En mars 2011, aux vues des événements, this information takes on another dimension.
FUKUSHIMA ALERT PLUTONIUM
The MOX for "Mixed Oxides" is a highly toxic and hazardous fuel composed of about 6-7% plutonium dioxide recovered "reprocessing" the fuel spent nuclear which is mixed with depleted uranium dioxide nine. MOX between more easily melted than conventional fuels, it is used in 20 of the French nuclear reactors. The major problem is that the plutonium MOX fuel is highly toxic in the short and long term. Voice-air, an estimated amount of the order of ten milligrams causes the death of a person who inhaled at once plutonium oxides. The dose-effect relationship has demonstrated a threshold of appearance of lung tumors in a dose millesimal, over a significant portion passes from the lungs to inhaled blood which disseminates to other organs (lymph nodes, liver, etc ... ), more or less quickly depending on the size of the particles, leading to cancers.
According isotropic composition is capable of infecting large masses of sea water for more than one century is at best a half-life and at worst, for 240 centuries! Plutonium is produced by the cores of nuclear reactors under the influence of neutron flux, is not only part of the elements having a very high radiotoxicity, but all the isotopes and other compounds from plutonium are also classified very toxic and radioactive ( see Wikipedia ). What makes it particularly dangerous plutonium is among other things, the high energy of its emission of alpha particles with a value of 5 MeV compared to 0.02 MeV tritium.
According to the information last minute, the old Unit 3 of Fukushima Dai Ichi came partially molten, a risk of disintegration is an assumption that is not excluded, but in the realm of probability. This would result in a massive release into the environment and atmosphere of highly radio-toxic particles. The worst being that the reactor 3 with 784 MW is 1.5 times more powerful than a 460 MW reactor loaded with enriched uranium, which means that its loading fuel into plutonium, therefore, is much more consistent with a parallel heat off at much larger to handle.
But there is worse than worst-case scenario in a reactor with 3 of Fukushima: The MOX fuel is a mixture has a melting point much lower than other fuels are considered classic, consequently, in configuration accidental risk as being told to criticality, ie the start of a uncontrollable nuclear chain reaction is much more important. Other problems collateral aggravate the situation for "Fire Services" who sacrifice themselves to avoid water does not melt, because the water mixed with boron is used to mitigate the effects of heating of the radioactivity (absorbs neutrons) is less effective with MOX.
terms of numbers, they are frightening, the mass of plutonium in the reactor 3 of the nuclear site Fukushima Dai Ichi is significant, it amounts to several hundred kilograms, an unprecedented global catastrophe, created by man, is therefore possible for the first time in the history of mankind.
Meanwhile, even zapping no way to escape, on television shows a tandem consisting of a man who "knows everything" called Eric Besson, accompanied by stainless NKM who knows nothing but talk a lot without saying anything, n 'obviously not evoke the MOX , but are the kings of intoxication. With the French AREVA MOX in Japan, it is better now adopt a low profile! This tandem unreal and they want reassurance pandering to anyone who will listen that this is not the party that has failed in nuclear reactors of the plant in Fukushima Dai Ichi, but the pipes, that is to say systems cooling and relief included the tsunami, it is highly inconceivable in France, etc ... Some issues of risk from major natural disasters are inherently unmanageable, therefore manage a nuclear power plant with zero risk is impossible on this postulate and current forces, people in responsible positions should draw the appropriate conclusions. Andreas Heumann, a researcher at the CNRS said "The problem with nuclear is that this technology is not controllable, we can get to keep control under normal conditions. But there are so of Abnormal Situations qui peuvent survenir ".
Video: Saudi troops enter Bahrain to restore public order
soldiers entered Saudi Arabia Manama, Bahrain's capital, to control the situation in the kingdom, surrounded by Sunni strife between the monarchy and the opposition Shiite.
ago few weeks, my friend Javi and I, as coordinator of Accura Running, we meet the challenge of carrying more than 100 runners Accura Gava Mar in the next edition of the Cursa dels Bombers (April 10). We knew what we put the bar very high and it would be a hard task, but we were surprised to find that after 5 days of being open enrollments, and with still about 3 weeks left until the day of career, and we are more than 120 Accura Runners who participate in it! And the number keeps growing!
The Accura Running Club is carving out a significant reputation within the increasingly popular races and more people know us. I doubt there is a club that is presented with so many members to an event of this kind, and this is not coincidental but the good work done by Javier Guemes prncipalmente as main coordinator, and thanks to all the excitement we put rest of the team and Acura Runners.
Of course, for this great day, we can consider as the most important race of 10kms of Spain next to the San Silvestre Vallecana (for this year is expected to limit 20000 participants!), We will move like a real professional team in a number of coaches leaving from the gym and then finishing the day as it deserves and in style with a delicious barbecue on Kauai Gava Mar.
The Bahraini monarch seeks help from its neighbors in the Persian Gulf to quell the protest - Iran says it will not be indifferent to the crackdown against Shiites
Troops Saudi Arabia yesterday crossed the bridge linking the country with the island-state of Bahrain, where protests against the ruling monarchy are becoming a civil disobedience movement. The measure, which the opposition parties called it an "occupation" internationalize risk what so far has been an internal conflict. Iran warned that it will not stand idly by the Saudi intervention. Amid the noise, went unnoticed by the opposition he met with Crown Prince to lay the foundations of the national dialogue.
police cars blocked all exits from the highway towards the financial center of Manama and the Place de la Perla, where there have been strong anti . Within this scope, there is no trace of the security forces. The rebels, many with their faces covered, they have erected barricades to control who crosses and take care of keeping order. Bahrain has been divided in two. One month after its launch it is clear that most Shiite demonstrators are a community that accounts for two thirds of the population that complains of discrimination by the Sunni rulers. That dangerous
factor has been strengthened with the arrival of the Saudi soldiers, the bulk of a force of between 1,000 and 2,000 men, under the umbrella of the Council Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The decision underlines the fear of the leaders of that club of oil monarchies to instability in Bahrain opening up the penetration of its archrival Iran (a Shiite theocracy creed). Besides Saudi Arabia, the heavier partner, form the GCC UAE and Kuwait (which also have sent troops), Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. Both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have significant Shia minorities.
"Saudi Arabia can not afford to drop the king of Bahrain, on Saturday claimed to this correspondent a former Saudi minister. The source showed yet convinced that the decision to send forces would only "as a last resort", if there was evidence of Iranian interference.
Just 48 hours later, Saudi troops have come to the island and even more rebellious spirits. Protesters converge every afternoon in the plaza of the Pearl to support the campers, they wanted to go against them. Only retreated when they learned that the military convoy was heading straight for Riffa, the town south of the capital where the royal family lives.
"Any force or military equipment to cross the borders of Bahrain, by land, sea or air, is an occupation and a plot against its inhabitants," said the statement released by the opposition parties. In his view, this step brings the country to the brink of war. However, for Sheikh Mahmoud Abdel Latif, head of the Association of National Unity, avoid the imposition of martial law. They have asked several deputies, according to which "the extremists are pushing the country into a sectarian conflict."
Iran was quick to clarify that lurks. His foreign minister said he hoped the Bahraini government respected the protesters and that his country will not stand idly by the Saudi efforts to "exterminate" the Shiites in Bahrain, according to the Iranian network Al Alam Arabic.
Last night, the soldiers were still stationed. Activists, meanwhile, were busy reinforcing the barricades on the main road and raise new ones, convinced that the arrival of the Saudis could only mean a new attack on the camp, such as that on February 17 killed four people, bringing to seven the death toll from the day 14.
The increased tension parallels the increasing radicalization of the protests. Compared to the initial petition for democratic reforms and a constitutional monarchy, some groups call for the overthrow of the monarchy, something feared by Sunnis.
"What more if the king has already agreed to all their demands?" Asks a resident of the Plaza de la Perla who makes camping in and out of home. On Sunday, Crown Prince Salman Al Khalifa promised to address all the demands of the opposition, including the transfer of legislative power to Parliament and reform of electoral districts (which discriminate against Shiites). The gesture was used by the opposition finally agreed to meet yesterday with Salman to lay the groundwork for a national dialogue. Third
regional force deployment
Troops sent to Bahrain for its partners in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are part of the Peninsula Shield force. It is a joint unit of the six members of that regional organization established in 1984 with the aim of "deter and respond to a possible military aggression" against any of them. In addition to Bahrain, the GCC members are Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Qatar and Oman.
Up now its troops had been deployed only in Kuwait. The first time in 1991 following the Iraqi invasion of the emirate, as part of (symbolic) of the U.S. led campaign to oust Saddam Hussein's soldiers. And again, in 2003, before the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq.
The Peninsula Shield is based in Saudi Arabia, King Khalid Military City in Hafar the Batin, near the borders of Iraq and Kuwait. Has infantry, artillery, armor and combat support elements from each of the member countries. Has between 7,000 and 10,000 men under the command of a Saudi general.
According to the rules set its creation, the forces sent to a member country to be passed under its authority. It is therefore up to Bahrain to decide the task will require. According to reports, Riyadh has sent a thousand soldiers and 500 police UAE. In a statement, the Manama Government says it has requested their assistance to "help protect the citizens and residents and critical infrastructure."
Several Israeli media, of which are said to be close to political means and security of Israel, have vilified the new prime Egyptian minister, Issam Sharaf, describing him as "an enemy of Israel."
Your choice to fill the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, Nabil al-Arabi, has been accused of being anti-Semitic, one of the chants used by the Zionist entity against any individual who dares to oppose their positions and criticize their crimes and barbarity against the people Palestinian.
He negotiated with the Israelis for 13 years since the Camp David Accords to Taba.
As the French weekly Le Point, he met at Camp David with President Sadat as legal adviser to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. With this degree, he studied carefully each paragraph the future agreement and then met with his superiors and ministers Ibrahim Kamel Boutros Gali. A sentence of text was "unacceptable." However, the only master of the game was Sadat and young diplomat asked an audience to rais ...
In his book "The Road to Jerusalem," Boutros-Ghali wrote: "He soon became disappointed and broken. His remarks had exasperated the president, who was angry with him. " Thirty years later, Nabil Al Arabi refuses to reveal the secret of that disagreement.
For its part, the chains 7 and 10 Israeli television and Maariv newspapers and Yediot Aharonot, commenting on the inauguration of the new Egyptian government, said that Sharaf is known for his opposition to Israel and its policy towards the Palestinians and called his appointment of Al Arabi for the post of foreign minister "anti-Semitic act ".
IWAKI, Japan -- An explosion at a nuclear power plant on Japan's devastated coast destroyed a building Saturday and made leaking radiation, or even outright meltdown, the central threat menacing a nation just beginning to grasp the scale of a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

The US government is being accused of pumping millions of dollars into unregulated training schemes for local police officers and other law enforcers that give a distorted, dangerous and inflammatory picture of the Muslim faith.
Political Research Associates , a Massachusetts-based progressive thinktank, spent nine months investigating the burgeoning industry of counter-terrorism training. It concluded that in seminars and conferences across America, police, transit and other law-enforcement officers were being given an ideologically skewed impression of Islam that impugned the entire religion, presenting it as inherently violent and sympathetic to terrorism.
One training conference, which PRA investigators attended, was held last October by the International Counter-Terrorism Officers Association , a body formed by New York police officers in the wake of 9/11. The conference was addressed by Walid Shoebat, a speaker used by several of the private training outfits.
Shoebat is a convert to Christianity, having formerly been a Muslim with links to the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. In his presentation, called The Jihad Mindset and How to Defeat It: Why We Want to Kill You, he accused Muslim men of raping women, children and young boys. "They are paedophiles!" he shouted.
According to the report, Shoebat went on: "The Muslim beheads with a smile. You can see it on YouTube, on TV; the Afghan child trained to execute Christians. You say that Islam is a peaceful religion? Why? It hates the west."
He also said: "Islam is a revolution and is intent to destroy all other systems. They want to expand, like Nazism."
Another training firm that is highlighted is Security Solutions International, a Miami-based company that has worked with some 1,000 law enforcement agencies since 2004. It gives seminars with titles such as "The Islamic Jihadist Threat", "Jihad 2.0" and "Allah in America".
The report is published as the Homeland Security Committee in the House of Representatives is poised to open controversial hearings into the radicalisation of the American-Muslim community. Peter King, who chairs the committee, has been accused of launching a witch-hunt.
A third training outfit, the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies, based in Alexandria, Virginia, uses experienced FBI, CIA and other former federal agents to conduct its training of about 8,000 national security employees a year. PRA investigators were not allowed to attend the centre's seminars, but based on its website and the writings of some of its key trainers, the report concludes that its course, Global Jihadist Threat Doctrine, uses the framework of the cold war to portray Islam as an existential threat equivalent to communism.
Walid Phares, who trains on behalf of the centre, argues in his writings that jihadists are infiltrating western organisations posing as civil rights advocates: "The most important mission is to further recruit and grow their numbers until the 'holy moment' comes."
Thomas Cincotta, the author of the PRA report, called on Congress and the Homeland Security department to begin an inquiry into the use of public money to provide training that he called dangerous and unhelpful. "Police officers and law enforcers who attend these causes will walk away with the impression that law-abiding citizens should be suspicious of the broader Muslim community. I'm deeply troubled by that – it impinges on fundamental freedoms to practise religion, and it jeopardises our safety and national security by potentially alienating Muslims at a time when we need to work together."
The report says that in the wake of 9/11 a huge sum of taxpayers' money had been invested in counter-terrorism training for law enforcers. Two federal grant programmes alone, led by Homeland Security, paid out $1.7bn to states across the country in 2010.
Some of the training schemes are closely monitored by the Homeland Security department, but much of the money, the report says, is filtered through a host of largely unregulated training schemes, some of which are conducted by private security bodies.
SSI's president, Henry Morgenstern, defended his company's track record. "We have a very good reputation training law enforcers. We are not a kooky organisation." He said of the report's authors: "These people are out to weaken the anti-terrorism effort and it's clearly politically motivated."
He added: "You cannot whitewash radical Islam – they really do cut people's heads off, they do carry out honour killings, so we are trying to show law enforcers that this is what they are up against. We are not saying that all Muslims chop people's heads off."
The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies declined to comment.
The involvement of anti-Muslim groups in federal and state training has caused consternation in the past. Last August Reverend Jesse Jackson protested to the FBI after it was discovered that Robert Spencer had been used as an official trainer on counter-terrorism for police offers.
Fisk: The United States has asked Saudi Arabia to help the Libyan rebels and terrorism
Author: Yusuf Fernandez
According to journalist Robert Fisk, the U.S., which tries not to get involved in the Libyan crisis, had asked Saudi Arabia to arm the revolutionaries in that country.
In her weekly column published in The Independent, Fisk revealed that this demand is top secret, without specifying which was its source. According to him, King Abdullah, whose aversion to the Libyan leader is known, especially since the latter was accused of trying to assassinate him, has not responded to this demand.
The author notes that Washington's demand corresponds with the history of U.S. military cooperation with the kingdom. He stressed that Saudi Arabia is the only Arab ally that enjoys a favorable strategic position and possesses the ability to supply weapons to rebels in Libya.
British journalist believes that Saudi aid would Washington does not appear militarily involved in the revolution, even though such weapons would be American, although paid by the Saudis.
"The Americans have pointed to the Saudis that they need the Libyan rebel mortar shells and anti-tank missiles, which are particularly necessary to deal with the armored forces loyal to Qadhafi as well as missiles aircraft intended to bring down planes bombed them, "the newspaper said. This
added that "if the insurgents can continue to launch attacks against strongholds in western Gaddafi of Libya, the political pressure on U.S. and NATO, at least coming from the Republican Party members in the U.S. Congress, to be imposed an air exclusion zone will be reduced. "
The imposition of this area, say the planners Fisk questioned, would force Americans to carry out air strikes against antiaircraft missile bases, which means that Washington go to war alongside the Libyan rebels. Fisk
price you British surveillance aircraft AWACS have entered into action and fly around Libya to follow the course of the Libyan planes. According
Fisk, if Saudi Arabia approved the U.S. request of sending weapons to rebels in Libya, it would be impossible to condemn a U.S. president use force against Saudi Shiites in northeastern regions of the kingdom.
