RHINO'S BOTTOM LINE - Army shells pose cancer risk in Iraq (Dec 16 2003 19:07 GMT) - Army shells pose cancer risk in Iraq Depleted uranium causing high radioactivity levels by Antony Barnett, The Observer, Sunday December 14, 2003 Depleted uranium shells used by British forces in southern Iraqi battlefields are putting civilians at risk from 'alarmingly high' levels of radioactivity. Experts are calling for the water and milk being used by locals in Basra to be monitored after analysis of biological and soil samples from battle zones found 'the highest number, highest levels and highest concentrations of radioactive source points' in the Basra suburb of Abu Khasib - the centre of the fiercest battles between UK forces and Saddam loyalists. Readings taken from destroyed Iraqi tanks in Basra reveal radiation levels 2,500 times higher than normal. In the surrounding area researchers recorded radioactivity levels 20 times higher than normal. |

funambule : Comme (Dec 16 2003 19:07 GMT) - L'errance...Aller plus loin, toujours et encore N'être à jamais qu'un élément du décor Frémir face aux fontaines de souvenirs Puisque seul, sans un regard, sans un sourire PUIS Comme un sourire dans mes nuits d'impatience Comme un sourire ancré dans le port de la vie Des mots de nuit envolent mon ennui.

Helpline Comment (24760) (Dec 16 2003 19:05 GMT) - Kennedy RE: power supply I had a similar problem once, with a computer with the Dallas RealTiem Clock setup instead of a cmos battery. I would boot the machine and it would show with a black screen, nothing else. I got frustrated and unplugged everything *but* the computer and left it for a time. Then I gave it another shot and it came right on. |
