Just another boring storm by Silvia Szarkova

"There are bad storms and there are nice ones, and this is a nice one," said Becky Weldon, from Florida’s Key West, a 43-year-old guest house manager. "It cleans out all the trees, it gives people a little work to do and it gets the tourists out of here for a few days."

He was talking about the storm Fay that should pass through the Florida peninsula sometime Tuesday.

It has been two years since a hurricane last touched Florida’s coast. While all tourist were hurry up to catch the last flight lately Monday afternoon, residents just put up the hurricane shutters and checked their generators, maybe bought some food, water and alcohol, but seemed to not worry too much about the tropical storm.

Officials and Key West’s authorities were warning to take the storm Fay seriously, but citizens did not take it as something unusual. “We're not worried about it. We've seen this movie before,” said 58-year-old Willie Dykes, who lives on a sailboat in Key West and whose live kit also contained whiskey.

By afternoon, cats and dogs were raining from Fay’s core, heavy rain were pelting low-lying Keys island chain. Palm trees were bent after the winds of 33 mph hit them.

The busy years for hurricanes were the 2004-05, when eight hurricanes hit Florida, so some residents have taken serious steps to prepare since then and in 2006 Florida enacted serious laws to prevent the catastrophic consequences- more than 400, 000 houses were inspected under the program that provide people the strengthening to their houses. According to that law, it is required to have about 970 gas stations along hurricane evacuation routes statewide.

Fortunately, no damage or injuries were reported, even some bars and restaurants stayed open

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Iba ďalšia nudná búrka? by Silvia Szarkova

,, Existujú zlé búrky a potom existujú dobré búrky, a toto jet á dobra, “ povedal Becky Weldon, z floridského Key West, 43-ročný manažér hotela. ,,Riadne vyčistí stormy, dá ľuďom troche práce a dostane von z mesta turistov na pár dní.”

Rozprával o burke Fay, ktorá sa mala prehnať Florodským polostrovom niekedy v utorok.

Už sú to dva roky, odkedy hurikán naposledy udrel na brehy Floridy. Kým všetci turisti sa veľmi ponáhlali, aby ako-tak stihli posledné lety neskoro popoludní v pondelok, obyvatelia si iba nasadili ochranné kryty, skontrolovali svoje generátory, možno kúpili troche jedla, vody a alkoholu, ale zdalo sa ako keby sa nie veľmi trápili kvôli tropickej burke.

Úradníci a autority z Key West však varovali, aby ľudia brali búrku vážne, ale miestny obyvatelia to akosi nebrali ako niečo nezvyklé. ,,Nie sme znepokojený kvôli tomu. Tento film sme už videli mnohokrít predtým, “ povedal 58-ročný Willie Dykes, ktorý žije na lodi v Key West a k jeho základnej výbave patrilo aj whiskey.

Už neskôr popoludní, ako keby pršali aj mačky a psy z jadra Fay, ťažký dážd trepotal nad floridskými nižšie položenými oblasťami polostrova. Palmy boli skolené a ohnuté pod vetrom, ktorého sila dosahovala 33 mph a udrela ich.

Veľmi rušným rokom pre hurikány by sa mohol považovať roky 2004-05, keď až osen hurikánov udrelo na Floridu, takže niektorý miestny obyvatelia už podnikli niektoré vážne kroky aby sa pripravili odvtedy a od roku 2006 Florida prijala zákony aby sa vyhla katastofickým dôsledkom- viac ako 400 000 domov boli prerobené a kontrolované v rámci programu, ktorý zabezpečuje posilnenie ich domov a obydlí. Podľa tohto zákona sa ďalej vyžaduje až okolo 970 plynových čerpacích staníc po štátnej ceste, ktorá slúži na evakuáciu v hurikánovej situáciiu.

Našťastie, žiadne škody alebo zranenia neboli hlásené, dokonca aj niektoré bary a reštaurácue zostali otvorené.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Fay, Praised and Feared as Well by Milota Sidorova

Living in Florida is from one point of view pretty annoying mix of stress, hurricanes, renovations and bureaucracy paper work with insurance companies.
From early May till late autumn, people do fear for their lives, estates and harvest easily to be destroyed by series of continuously tropical storms and hurricanes. Moreover when fertile fields produce considerable American amount of cotton, peanuts and reed.

So it is this time again. Born during last weekend over the waters of Atlantic ocean, tropical storm Fay has reached Florida peninsula this morning. Fay, responsible for approximately 20 deaths in Caribbean sea and 93,000 cut of energies, stroke at 2 a.m. Florida's east coast, just fifteen miles south-southeast of Melbourne. However this time, winds of 50 mph and the storm promising over 15 inches of rain were more than praised.

Strangely enough, but true. After weeks of lingering drought, farmers have reported possible one third loss of this year's crop. Hearty rain could boost up burning fields, save what can be saved.
Nevertheless, praising the storm can be more than just a rain. According National Weather Service Fay is easily to change into hurricane size one in few hours. Fay has crossed Florida near to Georgia's borders and veered over the open sea. Logically, while decaying, while passing over the mainland, the storm can magnify several times absorbing moisture of miles and miles of vaporing water level.
And Fay is expected to return again.

As obviously, local officials have called on red light alert. One of the smallest cities, Jacksonville has already sent its troops to repair draining anti storm systems, while prepared shelters and emptied endangered areas. Emergency teams are now 24 hours on-duty.

So, this time, on the contrary Florida is waiting for tropical storm. Although its water can be as gentle and nourishing as catastrophic as well. On most of the areas, schools have canceled Wednesday's and Thursday's classes. People are preparing. Big Water is about to come.

Forecasts predict Fay was about to hit Alabama during the weekend.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Fay, vymodlená a obávaná voda... by Milota Sidorova

Skutočne obdivujem všetkých obyvateľov Pacifiku, Indonézie, Japonska, Floridy, no skrátka všetkých miest, kde sa to prírodnými katastrofami len tak hemží. Od mája do neskorej jesene je to neustály kolotoč strachu a stresov pred poškodením majetku, ohrozenia vlastného zdravia či života, obavy zo zničenia úrody a infraštruktúry, čo v tých vyspelejších oblastiach znamená takmer rodinný vzťah s personálom miestnej poisťovne.

Hurikány a tropické búrky, nanešťastie (či práve naopak?) ľudskej vôli zatiaľ nepodliehajú a tak sa s ich vyčíňaním musíme vyrovnať, ako len môžeme.
Floridu počas posledných dní sužuje nová tropická búrka. Fay, ktorá sa 'narodila' len minulý víkend nad vodami Atlantického oceánu, dnes nad ránom zasiahla severovýchodnú časť floridského poloostrova. Do tejto chvíle je oficiálne zodpovedná za 20 mŕtvych a niekoľko zranených. Od elektriny odrezala takmer 93,000 obyvateľov.

Vetry ženúce búrkové oblaky presiahli rýchlosť 50 míľ za hodinu a priniesli v priemere 40 centimetrov zrážok. Klasický scenár, dalo by sa povedať s istou dávkou odstupu. Voda ohrozuje drenážne kanály a protizáplavové systémy, ktoré by dlhšie trvajúce dažde nemuseli 'prežiť'.

Avšak tento raz sa na Floride predsalen búrke niekto potešil. A sú to práve farmári, ktorí by výdatný dážď úrode zdevastovanej dlhodobým suchom naozaj priali. Florida je dôležitým producentom bavlny, trstiny a arašidov. Podľa oficiálnych správ suchu podľahla takmer tretina doterajšej úrody.
Voda nad zlato.

Meteorológovia z Národného Hydro-Meteorologického ústavu však varujú, že očakávaná búrka sa vo chvíli môže zmeniť na katastrofickú vodno-veternú smršť. O to viac, ak predpovede hlásia, že Fay sa v najbližších hodinách pravdepodobne zmení na hurikán. Fay od svojho vývoja prešla naprieč Floridou, kde, prirodzene stratila zo svojej sily. V posledných hodinách sa zastavila na rozhraní pevniny a mora, kde, pohlcovaním teplých a vlhkých pár, neustále zväčšuje svoj objem.

Meteorológovia predpokladajú tzv.'efekt boomerangu', kedy sa obovená búrka v ešte väčšej sile opätovne vracia na pevninu. Pred príchodom Fay však úrady zvonili na poplach. Na potenciálne ohrozených miestach sa začalo s posilňovaním drenážnych systémov a evakuáciou obyvateľstva v dočasne zriadených útulniach. Záchranné tímy budú počas búrky neustále v pohotovosti.
Na mnohých miestach dnes a zajtra zrušili školské vyučovanie. Prípravy na 'Veľkú Vodu' sú v plnom prúde.

Fay by počas víkendu mala postúpiť smerom do vnútrozemia, cez Georgiu ponad štát Alabama.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Samo ušte edna dosadna bura by Zivka Deleva

"Ima loši buri i ima dobri, a ovaa e dobra," izjavi Beki Veldon, od Ki Vest na Florida, 43 godišen menadzer za smestuvanje na gosti. "Gi isčisti site drva, im dava a lugeto mala rabota i gi trgnuva turistite od tuka na nekolku dena."

Toj zboruvaše za burata Fej koja trebaše da pomine preku poluostrovot Florida vo vtornikot.

Skoro pred dve godini uragan posledno go dopre bregot na Florida. Dodeka site turisti brzaa da go fatat posledniot let docna vo ponedelnikot popladne, žitelite go trpea uraganot i gi proverija nivnite generatori, možebi kupija nekoja hrana, voda i alkohol, no se čini deka tie ne se grižea mnogu za tropskata bura.

Spored zakonot, se bara da ima okolu 970 gas stanici po patot na evakuacijata od uraganot.

Fay and alligators by Livia Cseresova

Florida currently has to deal with Fay, a tropical storm. And not only that because of Fay, the Floridians got rain four days in row; they also have to struggle with alligators, snakes and others. The animals are now everywhere- in the streets, in backyards or doorsteps.

Steve Johnson, national guardsman, saw an alligator just floating around. His reaction was: “I said, 'The heck is that?' and there was an alligator floating by. I took my flashlight and was like, 'You've got to be kidding me, a big old alligator swimming around here.'”

All the 67 Florida counties are homes for alligators. And as the state officials said, the people each year complain about the alligators quite a lot. The floodwaters now increase the risk of their meeting with people. The reason is that these animals have to look for a safe, dry place to stay at through the storm.

Recently, as in the rain emergency the residents of Florida are trying to clean up their homes several alligators were spotted. Also, snakes were spotted on some places. In backyard of Carla Viotto in Indialantic, snakes were drifting around in 4 inches of water. She said “It looked just like a junk yard.”

In some places, the most severe flooding was even 5 feet, especially along the Atlantic coast from Port St. Lucie to Cape Canaveral. The estimated building damages would cost, according to Brevard County officials, about $12 million.

The storm Fay killed at least 20 people in the Caribbean and two in Florida. It is actually just the fourth storm ever, which hit the Florida peninsula with tropical storm three separate times.

Horrible day for the Americans by kristina leskova

11th September 2001, do you remember what happened? This day changed the United States of America, especially New York. Many people can not forget the incident, because they lost their family relatives, friends, colleagues. On that day terrorists crashed two airliners into the Twin Towers. Twin Towers were the part of World Trade Center. WTC was a complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan. Three of the buildings collapsed & One World Trade Center known as the North Tower, Second World Trade Center known as the South Tower and Seven World Trade Center. The Marriot WTC was crushed by the collapse of twin towers. Other three remaining buildings 4 WTC, 5 WTC, 6 WTC were damaged and later demolished. There died many citizens & people who were not guilty. All people on the board of airliners died, they had no chance to survive. Because the terrorists took over the control of airplane and they attacked twin towers. There were also many people who worked in these buildings and they had no time to rescue. Nowadays it is 7 years after that horrible case. There were many speculations about the 7 WTC, the scientists asked how this building collapsed. The 7 World Trade Center was a steel and concrete building. It was 47 floor building, about 174 meters high. The official version says that this building was set on fire by the falling debris from other towers. But the skeptics could not believe that this was the reason of crushing. Many people thought that it was a controlled demolition. And why did not the sprinkler system extinguish the fire? The investigators think that the collapse of the 13th floor had weakened a critical steel support column and this led to crash of the building. The scientists recommend building buildings with stronger connections and framing systems that could resist the effects of thermal expansion.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Fay a aligátory by Livia Cseresova

Americký Å¡tát Florida má momentálne problémov viac než dosÅ¥. Ako je už dobre známe, musí zápasiÅ¥ s tropickou búrkou Fay. A nielenže kvôli búrke Fay čelili dažďu Å¡tyri dni bez prestávky, ale musia I zápasiÅ¥ z aligátormi, hadmi a inými stvoreniami. Zvieatá sú momentálne úplne vÅ¡ade- v uliciach, záhradách, či pri vchodoch.

Steve Johnson, národný gardista, zbadal aligátora, ktorý si len tak plával dokola. Reagoval na to takto: "Povedal som. 'Čo do pekla je toto?' a uvidel som aligátora plávajúceho okolo mňa. Vzal som svoju baterku a povedal som, 'Toto musí byť vtip, starý, veľký aligátor plávajúci okolo.'"

VÅ¡etkých 67 floridských okresov hostí aligátory. A ako povedali Å¡tátny predstavitelia, ľudia sa každý rok veľmi sÅ¥ažujú práve na tieto živočíchy. A záplavové vody teraz eÅ¡te zvyÅ¡ujú riziko ich stretnutia s ľuďmi. Dôvodom je, že tieto zvieratá si musia hľadaÅ¥ bezpečné, suché miesto, kde by mohli zostaÅ¥ počas búrky.

Nedávno, keď sa v dažďovej kríze obyvatelia Floridy snažili upratať svoje domovy, bolo videných zopár aligátorov. Taktiež, zopár hadov bolo videných na niektorých miestach. Napríklad v záhrade Carly Viotto v Indialacic-u, si hady plávali asi v štyroch palcoch vody (približne 10cm).

Na niektorých miestach tie najvážnejÅ¡ie záplavy dosahovali až päť palcov (asi 13 centimetrov), hlavne pozdĺž Atlantického pobrežia, od prístavu St. Lucie až po mys Carneval. Predpokladané Å¡kody by stáli, podľa predstaviteľov okresu Brevard, približne 12 miliónov dolárov.

Búrka Fay zabila aspoň dvadsať ľudí v Karibiku a dvoch na Floride. Je to v skutočnosti iba štvrtá búrka v histórii Floridy, ktorá zasiahla ostrov s veľkou intenzitou tri krát po sebe.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Strašný deň pre Američanov by kristina leskova

11.september 2001, pamätáš sa, čo sa stalo? Tento deň zmenil Spojené Å¡táty americké, predovÅ¡etkým samotný New York. Veľa ľudí nedokáže zabudnúť na túto udalosÅ¥, pretože stratili svojich rodinných príbuzných, priateľov, kolegov. V tento deň teroristi narazili s dvoma lietadlami do dvojičiek. Dvojičky boli súčasÅ¥ou Svetového obchodného centra (WTC). WTC bol komplex siedmich budov v Dolnom Manhattane. Tri z budov sa zrútili & veža číslo 1 (severná veža), veža číslo 2 (južná veža) a siedma veža. Tretia veža (hotel) sa zrútila v dôsledku pádu dvojičiek. ZvyÅ¡né tri budovy boli poÅ¡kodené a neskôr zdemolované. Zomrelo tu veľa civilistov & ľudí, ktorí boli nevinní. Zomreli aj vÅ¡etci ľudia na palube lietadiel - nemali Å¡ancu prežiÅ¥. Pretože teroristi prevzali riadenie lietadla a zaútočili na dvojičky. V týchto budovách pracovalo množstvo ľudí a nemali čas na záchranu. Dnes pomaly uplynie 7 rokov od tejto straÅ¡nej udalosti. Veľa sa Å¡pekulovalo o siedmej veži, vedci sa pýtali ako je možné, že sa zrútila. Siedma veža bola oceľovo - betónová budova. Mala 47 poschodí a výšku 174 metrov. Oficiálna verzia znie, že táto budova bola zapálená ohňom z padajúcich trosiek ostatných veží. Ale skeptici nechceli veriÅ¥, že toto by bol dôvod pádu siedmej veže. Veľa ľudí si myslelo, že sa jednalo o riadenú demoláciu. A prečo oheň neuhasil zavlažovací systém? VyÅ¡etrovatelia si myslia, že pád 13.poschodia oslabil dôležitý oceľový podporný stĺp a to viedlo k pádu budovy. Vedci odporúčajú stavaÅ¥ budovy so silnejšími prepojeniami a rámcovým usporiadaním, ktoré by odolali tepelnej expanzii.

Wildfire in California state burns dozens of homes by Michaela Vargova

A widespread, erratic wind-stoked wildfire in California has forced thousands of people to leave their homes since the late June. Until now, the wildfire has intervened several residential areas of an sooner mentioned american state. Let come through a qiuick overview of an arisen situation. The latest news came from northeast of Sacramento where the fire burned dozens of homes Tuesday and has compelled thousands residents to escape. About 40 homes in the rural Butte County were destroyed and residents of 3,200 homes were ordered to evacuate in nearby Paradise, where wildfire destroyed 74 homes last month. At least 23 homes and 25 other structures have been destroyed in the small coastal community of Big Sur. However, fire in the Los Padres National Forest near Santa Barbara grew slightly to 9,785 acres (about 15 square miles).
Firefighters were also struggling against the drought, but a heat wave forecast continues. Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday are expected to spike into the 90s, in some parts of California's Central Valley actually close to 110 degrees. Marine fog, relatively calm winds and moderate temperatures from Tuesday morning helped firefighting efforts on the lower flanks of the Santa Ynez Mountains. But still, fire officials worry that the flames will reach much more feet now, because the vegetation vesture in the country is very dry. The expected heat wave raised not only the fire danger, but also concerns about heat illness among firefighters. Because of the low numbers of resources in the state they feel exhausted. No wonder, because the blazes have consumed more than 985 square miles in California since late June.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Oheň v Californii ničí domovy by Michaela Vargova

Rozsiahle a neutíchajúce plamene, ktoré zasiahli územie Californie koncom minulého mesiaca, prinútili tisíce obyvateľov aby opustili svoje domovy. Doposiaľ zasiahol požiar viacero obývaných území: Severovýchodne od Sacramenta, hlavného mesta Å¡tátu California, zničil požiar v utorok približne tucet domov. Situácia prinútila tisíce obyvateľov k úteku zo svojich obydlí. Vo vidieckom sídle Butte County bolo zatiaľ zničených a evakuovaných dokopy približne 3 200 domov. Evakuácia bola nasmerovaná do blízkeho Paradise, kde minulý mesiac oheň zničil približne 74 ľudských obydlí. Bilancia Å¡kôd pokračuje malou pobrežnou obcou Big Sur, kde plamene zničili najmenej 23 domov a 25 iných stavebných Å¡truktúr. V Národnom Lese Los Padres blízko Santa Barbari požiar zasiahol a spôsobil obrovské Å¡kody na celkovo 9 785 akrov (približne 15 Å¡tvorcových míl) lesa.
Požiarnici bojujú s ohňom aj pretrvávajúcim suchom zároveň. Predpovede vÅ¡ak neprinášajú žiadne pozitívne vyhliadky. V stredu a Å¡tvrtok meteorológovia dokonca očakávajú rekordné teplotné hodnoty. Teplota sa má na väčšine územia vyÅ¡plhaÅ¥ až na 90 stupňov, pričom v niektorých oblastiach Centrálneho Californského údolia ( California's Central Valley) až na neuveriteľných 110 stupňov.
Morská hmla, relatívne bezvetrie a miernejÅ¡ie teploty z utorkového rána napomohli zastaveniu šírenia požiara na miernejších svahoch Santa Ynez Mountains. Odhliadnuc od tejto pozitívnej udalosti, hlavných vedúcich požiarnych zborov momentálne najviac znepokojuje fakt, že vegetačný porast je po dlhotrvajúcom suchu na väčšine plochy krajiny veľmi suchý, čo uľahčí plameňom cestu v ich nasledovnom postupe.
Očakávané horúce počasie nileže zvyÅ¡uje nebezpečenstvo ďalÅ¡ieho šírenia požiaru, ale môže aj negatívne ovplyvniÅ¥ zdravotný stav požiarnych síl, ktoré sú už z pretrvávajúceho boja s plameňmi a horúčavami fyzicky vyčerpaní.

Fay and alligators by Livia Cseresova

Florida currently has to deal with Fay, a tropical storm. And not only that because of Fay, the Floridians got rain four days in row; they also have to struggle with alligators, snakes and others. The animals are now everywhere- in the streets, in backyards or doorsteps.

Steve Johnson, national guardsman, saw an alligator just floating around. His reaction was: “I said, 'The heck is that?' and there was an alligator floating by. I took my flashlight and was like, 'You've got to be kidding me, a big old alligator swimming around here.'”

All the 67 Florida counties are homes for alligators. And as the state officials said, the people each year complain about the alligators quite a lot. The floodwaters now increase the risk of their meeting with people. The reason is that these animals have to look for a safe, dry place to stay at through the storm.

Recently, as in the rain emergency the residents of Florida are trying to clean up their homes several alligators were spotted. Also, snakes were spotted on some places. In backyard of Carla Viotto in Indialantic, snakes were drifting around in 4 inches of water. She said “It looked just like a junk yard.”

In some places, the most severe flooding was even 5 feet, especially along the Atlantic coast from Port St. Lucie to Cape Canaveral. The estimated building damages would cost, according to Brevard County officials, about $12 million.

The storm Fay killed at least 20 people in the Caribbean and two in Florida. It is actually just the fourth storm ever, which hit the Florida peninsula with tropical storm three separate times.

Horrible day for the Americans by kristina leskova

11th September 2001, do you remember what happened? This day changed the United States of America, especially New York. Many people can not forget the incident, because they lost their family relatives, friends, colleagues. On that day terrorists crashed two airliners into the Twin Towers. Twin Towers were the part of World Trade Center. WTC was a complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan. Three of the buildings collapsed & One World Trade Center known as the North Tower, Second World Trade Center known as the South Tower and Seven World Trade Center. The Marriot WTC was crushed by the collapse of twin towers. Other three remaining buildings 4 WTC, 5 WTC, 6 WTC were damaged and later demolished. There died many citizens & people who were not guilty. All people on the board of airliners died, they had no chance to survive. Because the terrorists took over the control of airplane and they attacked twin towers. There were also many people who worked in these buildings and they had no time to rescue. Nowadays it is 7 years after that horrible case. There were many speculations about the 7 WTC, the scientists asked how this building collapsed. The 7 World Trade Center was a steel and concrete building. It was 47 floor building, about 174 meters high. The official version says that this building was set on fire by the falling debris from other towers. But the skeptics could not believe that this was the reason of crushing. Many people thought that it was a controlled demolition. And why did not the sprinkler system extinguish the fire? The investigators think that the collapse of the 13th floor had weakened a critical steel support column and this led to crash of the building. The scientists recommend building buildings with stronger connections and framing systems that could resist the effects of thermal expansion.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Fay a aligátory by Livia Cseresova

Americký Å¡tát Florida má momentálne problémov viac než dosÅ¥. Ako je už dobre známe, musí zápasiÅ¥ s tropickou búrkou Fay. A nielenže kvôli búrke Fay čelili dažďu Å¡tyri dni bez prestávky, ale musia I zápasiÅ¥ z aligátormi, hadmi a inými stvoreniami. Zvieatá sú momentálne úplne vÅ¡ade- v uliciach, záhradách, či pri vchodoch.

Steve Johnson, národný gardista, zbadal aligátora, ktorý si len tak plával dokola. Reagoval na to takto: "Povedal som. 'Čo do pekla je toto?' a uvidel som aligátora plávajúceho okolo mňa. Vzal som svoju baterku a povedal som, 'Toto musí byť vtip, starý, veľký aligátor plávajúci okolo.'"

VÅ¡etkých 67 floridských okresov hostí aligátory. A ako povedali Å¡tátny predstavitelia, ľudia sa každý rok veľmi sÅ¥ažujú práve na tieto živočíchy. A záplavové vody teraz eÅ¡te zvyÅ¡ujú riziko ich stretnutia s ľuďmi. Dôvodom je, že tieto zvieratá si musia hľadaÅ¥ bezpečné, suché miesto, kde by mohli zostaÅ¥ počas búrky.

Nedávno, keď sa v dažďovej kríze obyvatelia Floridy snažili upratať svoje domovy, bolo videných zopár aligátorov. Taktiež, zopár hadov bolo videných na niektorých miestach. Napríklad v záhrade Carly Viotto v Indialacic-u, si hady plávali asi v štyroch palcoch vody (približne 10cm).

Na niektorých miestach tie najvážnejÅ¡ie záplavy dosahovali až päť palcov (asi 13 centimetrov), hlavne pozdĺž Atlantického pobrežia, od prístavu St. Lucie až po mys Carneval. Predpokladané Å¡kody by stáli, podľa predstaviteľov okresu Brevard, približne 12 miliónov dolárov.

Búrka Fay zabila aspoň dvadsať ľudí v Karibiku a dvoch na Floride. Je to v skutočnosti iba štvrtá búrka v histórii Floridy, ktorá zasiahla ostrov s veľkou intenzitou tri krát po sebe.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Strašný deň pre Američanov by kristina leskova

11.september 2001, pamätáš sa, čo sa stalo? Tento deň zmenil Spojené Å¡táty americké, predovÅ¡etkým samotný New York. Veľa ľudí nedokáže zabudnúť na túto udalosÅ¥, pretože stratili svojich rodinných príbuzných, priateľov, kolegov. V tento deň teroristi narazili s dvoma lietadlami do dvojičiek. Dvojičky boli súčasÅ¥ou Svetového obchodného centra (WTC). WTC bol komplex siedmich budov v Dolnom Manhattane. Tri z budov sa zrútili & veža číslo 1 (severná veža), veža číslo 2 (južná veža) a siedma veža. Tretia veža (hotel) sa zrútila v dôsledku pádu dvojičiek. ZvyÅ¡né tri budovy boli poÅ¡kodené a neskôr zdemolované. Zomrelo tu veľa civilistov & ľudí, ktorí boli nevinní. Zomreli aj vÅ¡etci ľudia na palube lietadiel - nemali Å¡ancu prežiÅ¥. Pretože teroristi prevzali riadenie lietadla a zaútočili na dvojičky. V týchto budovách pracovalo množstvo ľudí a nemali čas na záchranu. Dnes pomaly uplynie 7 rokov od tejto straÅ¡nej udalosti. Veľa sa Å¡pekulovalo o siedmej veži, vedci sa pýtali ako je možné, že sa zrútila. Siedma veža bola oceľovo - betónová budova. Mala 47 poschodí a výšku 174 metrov. Oficiálna verzia znie, že táto budova bola zapálená ohňom z padajúcich trosiek ostatných veží. Ale skeptici nechceli veriÅ¥, že toto by bol dôvod pádu siedmej veže. Veľa ľudí si myslelo, že sa jednalo o riadenú demoláciu. A prečo oheň neuhasil zavlažovací systém? VyÅ¡etrovatelia si myslia, že pád 13.poschodia oslabil dôležitý oceľový podporný stĺp a to viedlo k pádu budovy. Vedci odporúčajú stavaÅ¥ budovy so silnejšími prepojeniami a rámcovým usporiadaním, ktoré by odolali tepelnej expanzii.

Wildfire in California state burns dozens of homes by Michaela Vargova

A widespread, erratic wind-stoked wildfire in California has forced thousands of people to leave their homes since the late June. Until now, the wildfire has intervened several residential areas of an sooner mentioned american state. Let come through a qiuick overview of an arisen situation. The latest news came from northeast of Sacramento where the fire burned dozens of homes Tuesday and has compelled thousands residents to escape. About 40 homes in the rural Butte County were destroyed and residents of 3,200 homes were ordered to evacuate in nearby Paradise, where wildfire destroyed 74 homes last month. At least 23 homes and 25 other structures have been destroyed in the small coastal community of Big Sur. However, fire in the Los Padres National Forest near Santa Barbara grew slightly to 9,785 acres (about 15 square miles).
Firefighters were also struggling against the drought, but a heat wave forecast continues. Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday are expected to spike into the 90s, in some parts of California's Central Valley actually close to 110 degrees.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Dolly Emergency by Livia Cseresova

Tropical storm Dolly turned into a hurricane Tuesday afternoon with almost 75 mph and is heading towards the U.S.-Mexico border and the Rio Grande Valley, where officials worried that heavy rain may cause flooding and levee breaks.

A hurricane warning is in effect for the coast of Texas from Brownsville to Corpus Christi and in Mexico from Rio San Fernando northward. Tropical storm warnings were also issued for areas next to the hurricane zone.

The officials in Mexico are planning to evacuate 23,000 people to government shelters. And the Texas officials urged inhabitants of Rio Grande to move away from the levees because they don’t know how much water they can hold.

The storms together with the not-so-good levees pose a huge flooding threat. The Cameron County Emergency Management Coordinator Johnny Cavazos said "We believe that those (levees) will be breached if it continues on the same track. So please stay away from those levees."

Now, there are big lines at centers giving out sandbags in the Rio Grande Valley. And in inland Hidalgo County, officials call for volunteers to five shelters that it wanted to open for residents fleeing coastal counties.

People planning to ride out the storm shopped for supplies in Edinburgh, which is 12 miles from the Mexican border.

And troops were preparing at armoires in San Antonio, Houston and Austin after Gov. Rick Perry called up 1,200 Guard members to help.

The Port Isabel Detention Center’s almost 1,000 members were sent to other detention centers in Texas. Also, in the Gulf of Mexico, workers were evacuated from oil rigs.

Some other parts of Texas, which are stricken by drought followed Dolly with 4 inches forecast to fall by the time the storm’s eastern edge sweeps across the region, John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas climatologist said.

Approximately 20 counties in northern part of South Texas are behind yearly rainfall by 12 and 16 inches, he said.

He also said that "If you get that much (rain) in two days there'd be flooding. Weather never gives you ideal stuff. This is certainly not going to be an exception to that. The best to hope for from this is a temporary reprieve from the dry conditions."

Anthrax suspect kills himself by Livia Cseresova

Bruce E. Ivins, a scientist who has recently been named the top suspect in anthrax attacks killing five people, committed suicide last week. According to officials, the anthrax-laced letters were probably a part of his twisted plan to test his cure for the toxin.

Before Ivins, his colleague Steven Hatfill was suspected, but as recently found out, wrongly suspected and paid $5.8 million.

For 18 years, Ivins worked at the Army’s biological warfare at Fort Detrick, he was one of the government’s leading scientist researching vaccines and cures for anthrax and according to papers filled in local court, Ivins had also a long history of homicidal threats.

For more than 10 years, Ivins had tried to develop anthrax vaccine effective even in cases where different strains of anthrax were mixed. He conducted many anthrax studies, including one claiming that animals cannot accurately reflect how people would respond to anthrax treatment.

The anthrax letters were sent to newsrooms, congressional offices and other places soon after the terror attack of September 11, 2001. The anthrax powder killed five people and sent many to hospitals. Major postal substations were closed and newsrooms checked all over because of it.

U.S. authorities were currently investigating whether Ivins, who had previously complained about the limits of testing anthrax on animals, had released the toxin to test the treatment on humans. The investigators noticed his unusual behavior about six months after anthrax mailings, but in spite of that, they didn’t really focus on him.
Ivins' lawyer stated that Ivins was innocent, claiming he had worked together with investigators for more than a year.

And according to his colleagues and court documents he was emotionally unstable and lately received psychiatric treatment. His psychiatrist had described him as homicidal and sociopathic. Recently, he was removed from his job because of worries he had become a danger to himself or others.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Podozrivý z posielania listov s antraxom sa zabil by Livia Cseresova

Bruce E. Ivins, vedec, ktorý bol nedávno označený za hlavného podozrivého v prípade útokov antraxom, ktoré zabili päť ľudí, spáchal minulý týždeň samovraždu. Podľa vládnych úradníkov boli listy s antraxom súčasťou jeho bláznivého plánu na otestovanie jeho liečby na toxín.

Pred Ivinsom bol podozrivý jeho kolega Steven Hatfill, ale ako bolo nedávno zistené, bol krivo obvinený.

Osemnásť rokov pracoval Ivins vo Fort Derick na armádnom biologickom bojisku, bol podľa jedným z vedúcich vládnych vedcov hľadajúcich vakcíny a lieky na antrax a podľa papierov z miestneho súdu mal tiež dlhodobú skúsenosť s vražednými hrozbami.

Viac ako 10 rokov sa Ivins snažil vynájsť vakcínu na antrax efektívnu aj v prípadoch, keď sú zmiešané rôzne formy antraxu. Riadil mnoho štúdií o antraxe, vrátane jednej, ktorá tvrdí, že zvieratá nemôžu presne ukázať, ako by na liečbu antraxu reagovali ľudia.

Listy s antraxom boli poslané do kongresových kancelárií, spravodajským miestností a na mnoho iných miest krátko po teroristických útokoch z 11. Septembra 2001. Antraxový prášok zabil 5 ľudí a ďalší skončili v nemocnici.

Autority Spojených Štátov nedávno vyšetrovali či Ivins, ktorý sa v minulosti sťažoval na limity testovania antraxu na zvieratách, vypustil toxín, aby otestoval svoju liečbu na ľuďoch. Vyšetrovatelia si všimli jeho nezvyčajné správanie približne šesť mesiacov po antraxových listoch, ale napriek tomu sa vyšetrovanie nesústredilo na neho.

Ivinsov právnik vyhlási, že Ivins bol nevinný, tvrdiac že spolupracoval s vyšetrovateľmi viac ako rok.

A podľa jeho kolegov a súdnych dokumentov bol emočne labilný a nedávno si jeho správanie vyžiadalo psychiatrickú starostlivosť. Jeho psychiater ho opísal ako nebezpečného a sociopatického. Prednedávnom bol vyhodený z práce kvôli obavám, že je nebezpečný pre seba a iných.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Ivins is guilty, according to the government by Livia Cseresova

Bruce Ivins, the scientist who committed suicide just about a week ago was the sender of antrax letters killing 5 people, as the prosecutors stated on Wednesday. They claim that in his lab, he had a container of the deadly spores and access to the distinctive envelopes used when mailing them.

The government of the U.S. released documents to support its theory. The documents were the mixture of DNA evidence, suspicious behavior and speculation.

The lawyer of Ivins believes that the government “is taking a weird guy and convicting him of mass murder” with no actual evidence. He said: “They didn't talk about one thing that they got as result of all those searches. I just don't think he did it, and I don't think the evidence exists.”

According to the documents, though, FBI got false anthrax sample from Ivins to throw investigators off his trail and didn’t explain for his late laboratory work hours in the time of the attacks. Also, he apparently immunized himself against anthrax and yellow fever in September 2001, just a couple of weeks before the anthrax attacks.

U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor admits, however, that the evidence is mainly if not completely circumstantial but believes it would be sufficient to convict.

Recently, there were released records, which describe the scientist as a very troubled person. An official declaration claims that “He said he was not going to face the death penalty, but instead had a plan to kill co-workers and other individuals who had wronged him.”

For a long time the main suspect was Ivins’ colleague, Steven J. Hatfill. Now it was found out he was wrongly suspected and the government paid him $6 million for it.
But back to Ivins. In an e-mail he sent shortly before one of the attacks, Ivins wrote that “Bin Laden terrorists for sure have anthrax and gas and have just decreed death to all Jews and all Americans. “ The letters said: "WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX . . . DEATH TO AMERICA . . . DEATH TO ISRAEL.” Just a coincidence?

Taylor doesn’t think it is just a coincidence and says that they are “confident that Dr. Ivins was the only person responsible for these attacks. “

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Podľa americkej vlády je vinným Ivins by Livia Cseresova

Bruce Ivins, vedec, ktorý minulý týždeň spáchal samovraždu bol odosielateľom listov z antraxom, ktoré zabili ľudí, ako to v stredu povedali štátny zástupcovia. Tvrdia, že mal vo svojom laboratóriu zásobu smrteľných spór a prístup k obálkam použitým pri posielaní týchto listov.

Americká vláda zverejnila dokumenty na podporenie svojej teórie. Dokumenty sú mixom DNA dôkazov, podozrivého správania a špekulácie.

Ivinsov právnik verí, že vláda „si zobrala divného chlapíka a obviňuje ho z masovej vraždy“ bez skutočných dôkazov. Povedal: „Nehovorili ani o jednej veci, ktorá bola výsledkom všetkých tých hľadaní. Ja si len nemyslím že to urobil, a nemyslím si, že dôkazy existujú.“

Podľa dokumentov, avšak, FBI dostala falošnú vzorku antraxu od Ivinsa, aby od seba odlákal pozornosť a tiež nevysvetlil svoj dlhý pracovný čas v čase útokov. Taktiež, údajne sa v Septembri 2001, iba pár týždňov pred útokmi imunizoval proti antraxu a žltej zimnici.

Právny zástupca Spojených Štátov Jeffrey Taylor priznáva, ale, že dôkazy sú zväčša, ak nie úplne nepriame, ale verí, že na usvedčenie by boli dostatočné.

Nedávno boli zverejnené záznamy, ktoré opisujú vedca ako veľmi problémovú osobu. Oficiálne vyhlásenie hovorí, že „Povedal, že nebude čeliť trestu smrti, ale namiesto toho mal plán na zabitie kolegov a iných indivíduí mu ukrivdili.“

Hlavným podozrivým bol pomerne dlhú dobu Ivinsov kolega, Steven J. Hatfill. Bolo však zistené, že bol obvinený neprávom a vláda mu preto zaplatila l miliónov dolárov.

Ale späť k Ivinsovi. V e-maily, ktorý poslal krátko pred jedným z útokov, Ivins napísal, že „Bin Ladinovi teroristi určite majú antrax a plyn a nariadili smrť všetkým Američanom a Židom.“ A list s antraxom povedal: „MÁME ANTRAX...SMRŤ AMERIKE...SMRŤ IZRAELU.“ Je to len náhoda?

Taylor si nemyslí, že to náhoda je, a hovorí, že sú „presvedčení, že Dr. Ivins bol jedinou osobou zodpovednou za tieto útoky.“

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Vladata go proglasi Ivins za vinoven by Zivka Deleva

Brus Ivins, naucnikot koj izvrši samoubistvo pred edna nedela beše onoj koj gi isprati ubistvenite pisma so antraks ubivajki 5 luge, objavija obvinitelite vo sredata. Tie tvrdat deka vo negovata laboratorija, toj imal kontejner so smrtonosni spori i pristap do konkretnite plikoa koi gi koristel pri prakanjeto.

Vladata na SAD objavi dokumenti da ja poddrži ovaa teorija. Dokumentite se mešavina od DNK dokazi, somnitelno odnesuvanje i špekulacii.

Advokatot na Ivins veruva deka vladata "go zema ovoj cuden covek i go osuduva za masovno ubistvo" bez konkretni dokazi. Toj rece: "Tie ne zboruvaa za nitu edna od rabotite koi gi dobija kako rezultat od nivnite istražuvanja. Ednostavno mislam deka toj ne go napravil toa, i mislam deka ne postojat nikakvi dokazi."

No, spored dokumentite FBI dobil lažen antraks primerok od Ivins da ja ottrgne istragata od vistinskata traga i ne dal objasnuvanje za negovoto docno ostanuvanje vo laboratorijata za vreme na napadite. Isto taka toj ocigledno se imuniziral sebesi protiv antraksot i žoltata treska vo septemvri 2001 godina, samo nekolku nedeli pred da pocnat napadite so antraks.

Advokatot Dzefri Tejlor priznava deka i pokraj toa Å¡to dokazite ne se kompletni i se slucajni vo nekoja mera, sepak ke bidat dovolni za da se obvini.

Neodamna bea objaveni dosiea koi go opišuvaat naučnikot kako mnogu problematična ličnost. Oficijalna izjava tvrdi deka "Toj rekol deka nema da se sooči so smrtna kazna, no namesto toa imal plan da gi ubie site sorabotnici i obični individui koi mu zgrešile."

Dolgo vreme glaven osomničen beše negoviot kolega, Stiven J. Hetfil. Sega se dokaža deka toj bil pogrešno osomničen i vladata mu plati 6 milioni dolari otšteta za toa.
No da se vratime na Ivins. Vo e-mail koj go ispratil ne mnogu pred eden od napadite, Ivins napišal deka "Teroristite na Bin Laden sigurno imaat antraks i gas i ja naredile smrtta na site Evrei i site Amerikanci." Bukvite velele: "Go imame ovoj antraks...smrt za Amerika...smrt za Izrael." Samo slučajnost?

Tejlor misli deka toa ne e samo slučajnost i veli deka tie "veruvaat deka dr. Ivins e edinstvenata ličnost vinovna za napadite."

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Ivins es culpable, declara oficialmente el gobierno by Veronika Pellerova

Bruce Ivins, el científico que se suicidó la semana pasada fue el remitente de cartas con antrax que mataron a 5 personas, lo declaró un fiscal federal estadounidense el miércoles. Demandan que tenía un contenedor de las esporas mortales en su laboratorio y el acceso a los sobres enviados.

El gobierno de EE UU liberó documentos para apoyar su teoría. Los documentos eran la mezcla de pruebas de ADN, el comportamiento sospechoso y especulaciones.

El abogado de Ivins cree que el gobierno " toma a un tipo extraño y lo condena de matanza " sin pruebas reales. Dijo: " Solamente no pienso que lo hizo, y no pienso que existen las pruebas. "

Según los documentos, FBI consiguió la muestra de ántrax falsa de Ivins para despistar a los investigadores y fue incapaz de ofrecer una "explicación adecuada" sobre las horas extra que pasó en el laboratorio cuando se produjeron los ataques. También, parece que se inmunizó contra el ántrax y la fiebre amarilla en septiembre de 2001, justo un par de semanas antes de los ataques de ántrax.

El Abogado estadounidense Jeffrey Taylor admite, sin embargo, que pruebas son principalmente si no completamente circunstanciales, pero creen que lo sería suficiente para condenar.

Recientemente, fueron liberados unos registros, que describen al científico como una persona muy preocupada. Una declaración oficial demanda que " Dijo que él no iba a afrontar la pena de muerte, pero en cambio tenía un plan de matar a compañeros de trabajo y otros individuos..."

Mucho tiempo el sospechoso principal era el colega de Ivins, Steven J. Hatfill. Ahora le declararon inocente y el gobierno le pagó 6 millones de dólares.
En un correo electrónico que envió antes de uno de los ataques, Ivins escribió que "los terroristas de Bin Laden tienen con seguridad ántrax y gas sarin y han declarado la guerra a todos los judíos y todos los estadounidenses". Las cartas dijeron: "tenemos ántrax (...) muerte a América (...) muerte a Israel". ¿Sólo una coincidencia?

Taylor no piensa que es solamente una coincidencia y dice que ellos están " convencidos de que Ivins fue el único responsable de los ataques"

Visitors urged to leave Florida Keys ahead of Fay by Michaela Vargova

KEY WEST, Florida – Tropical Storm Fay - the sixth storm of the 2008 Atlantic season, threatened to strengthen into a hurricane by the time it crossed Cuba and start pelting the Keys. Unfortunately, Fay has already killed at least five people during its weekend bluster on Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Fay could begin approachig parts of the Keys and South Florida late today or early tomorrow as a strong tropical storm or minimal hurricane. Beside wind damage, the possibility of another threat appears – flooding. It is due to most of the islands is sat at sea level and so arise possible risiko of some flooding from Fay's storm surge.
Officials in the Key had issued an evacuation order for visitors and asked those who had not yet arrived to postpone their trips. Also people who live in low-lying areas and on boats had been ordered to leave as the storm threatened to strengthen into a hurricane Sunday.
Inspite of the fact that it is expected the storm to start moving to the north along the western coast of Florida, forecasters still didn't know exactly where it would make landfall.
The last serious bluster affected Key West in 2005, when hurricane Wilma of Category 3 sped across. That time the town escaped greater wind damage, but hundreds of homes were flooded by a storm surge. The deadliest storm that has ever hit the island was of the Category 4 hurricane in 1919 which killed about 900 people. Another strong hurricane that passed throug the area, named the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, was of the Category 5 and killed more than 400 people.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Tropická búrka Fay núti návštevníkov Florida Keys ku skorším odchodom by Michaela Vargova

KEY WEST, Florida – Tropická búka Fay – v poradí už šiesta búrka v tohtoročnej takzvanej Atlantickej sezóne, hrozila, že počas svojho prechodu cez Kubu a neustálym približovaním sa k pevnine zosilnie a zmení sa na hurikán. Nanešťastie, počas svojho víkendového zúrenia pri prechode cez Haity a Dominikánsku republiku stihla pripraviť o život už najmenej päť ľudí.
Predpokladá sa, že Fay zasiahne časti Keys a Južnej Floridy v dnešných večerných hodinách, prípadne zajtrajších ranných ako silná tropická búrka, alebo až hurikán. Popri škodám ktoré, ako sa predpokladá, spôsobí silný vietor, vzniká aj riziko povodne. Prílivová vlna by mohla predstavovať hrozbu predovšetkým pre nižšie položenú časť územia (absolútna väčšina polostrova), ktorá by bola mimo veterných škôd postihnutá ešte aj záplavami.
Pod hrozbou zosilnenia tropickej búrky na hurikán, úrady vo floridskom Key nariadili evakuáciu svojich návštevníkov a zároveň požiadali všetkých tích, ktorí mali v nasledovných dňoch docestovať, aby deň svojho príchodu odložili. Taktiež bolo vydané nariadenie k evakuácií pre všetkých obyvateľov, ktorí bývajú v nižšie položených častiach územia, prípadne na lodiach.
Napriek faktu že sa predpokladá, že tropická búrka Fay sa v nasledovných dňoch bude pohybovať smerom na sever a pozdĺž západného pobrežia Floridy, meteorológovia stále presne nevedia, kde Fay narazí na pevninu.
Posledné vážnejšie vyčíňanie počasia zažilo Key West v roku 2005, kedy sa jeho územím prehnal hurikán Wilma označovaný silovou kategóriou 3. Toho času bolo mesto ušetrené pred vážnejšou veternou smršťou a teda následne aj škodami, avšak stovky domov boli zaplavené a zmetené prílivovou vlnou, ktorú hurikán vyvolal. Najsmrteľnejšia búrka aká kedy toto územie zasiahla, merala svoju silu kategóriou 4. Hurikán zasiahol pevninu v roku 1919, pričom zabil viac ako 900 ľudí. Ďalší zo série smrteľných hurikánov nazvaný Hurikán Ďňa Práce, zasiahol územie v roku 1935 so silou kategórie 5 a vyžiadal si viac ako 400 obetí na životoch.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Rechazan nuevamente libertad a asesino de John Lennon by Veronika Pellerova

Es la quinta vez que la justicia niegó la libertad condicional a Mark David Chapman, el asesino de John Lennon. Chapman se quedará en la prisión de Attica de Nueva York al menos dos años más por el homicidio de John Lennon, quien falleció en diciembre de 1980. La Junta de Libertad Condicional le clasificó como una amenaza a la sociedad.

Chapman, 53, ha estado en la prisión durante 27 años, desde que declaró su culpabilidad. Admitió cometer el asesinato para ganar la atención.

En la decisión del martes, la libertad condicional de Chapman fue negada " debido a la preocupación para la seguridad y el bienestar público. " Desde 1994 tenía el registro disciplinario limpio, durante la audición dijo que planificó y condujo el asesinato de Lennon " con una mente esencialmente clara. " Por eso la junta decidió que su liberación no está en el interés de la sociedad.

La transcripción de la audición de 36 minutos no estaba inmediatamente disponible, según las instrucciones de dos miembros.

Chapman disparó cinco tiros fuera de la puerta de la casa, el 8 de diciembre de 1980, donde Lennon vivía con su esposa Yoko Ono. Lennon fue herido por cuatro tiros.

Ono no dio ningún testimonio en la audición de Chapman, aunque haya escrito un consejo a la junta que se pone en contra de su liberación. Su abogado, Peter Shukat sólo comentó, " Estuvo muy contenta en la división de la decisión de la junta. "

Las cartas fueron enviadas por cincuenta personas y una petición fue firmada por 1,100 personas que están en contra de la liberación de Chapman. Sólo tres personas firmaron para que sea liberado.

Chapman podrá volver a presentar otra solicitud dentro de 24 meses, en agosto de 2010.

John Lennon's killer denied parole again by Magdalena Rosova

Mark David Chapman, killer of John Lennon, was denied parole for a fifth time on Tuesday. Chapman will stay in New York's Attica Correctional Facility for at least two more years for shutting down the former Beatle three decades ago. Parole board accepted Chapman a threat to society.

Chapman, 53, has been in prison for 27 years, since pleading guilty. He admitted committing the murder to gain attention.

In Tuesday decision Chapman’s parole was denied "due to concern for the public safety and welfare. “ Even though since 1994 he has had a clean disciplinary record, during the hearing he told board members he planned and conducted Lennon’s murder "with an essentially clear mind." Because of that the board said his releasing is not in the interest of the society.

A transcript of the 36-minute hearing was not immediately available, according to instructions of two parole board members.

Chapman fired five shots outside apartment building where Lennon lived with his wife Yoko Ono on December 8, 1980. Lennon was hit four times in front of his wire and others.

Ono didn’t give any testimony in Chapman’s hearing, although she has written the parole board arguing against his release previously. Her lawyer, Peter Shukat only commented, "She was very pleased at the division of parole's decision."

Letters were sent by fifty people and a petition was signed by 1,100 people opposing Chapman’s release. Only three people wrote that he be set free.

Chapman’s next hearing before board is planned for August 2010.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Vrah Johna Lennona naďalej zostáva vo väzbe by Magdalena Rosova

Mark David Chapman, vrah Johna Lennona, sa ani tento krát nedostane z väzenia. V utorok bolo po piatykrát zamietnuté jeho podmienečné prepustenie. Za zastrelenie bývalého člena kapely the Beatles pred takmer tridsiatimi rokmi, zostane Chapman najmenej ďalšie dva roky v New Yorkskom Atickom nápravnom zariadení. Porota ho uznala za stálu hrozbu spoločnosti.

53-ročný Chapman, je vo väzení už 27 rokov, odkedy sa priznal k vine. Na otázku, aký mal motív pre spáchanie takého zločinu, povedal, že Lennonovu zastrelil, aby upútal pozornosť ľudí.

V utorkovom rozhodnutí sa zamietlo Chapmanovo prepustenie „v záujme bezpečia a blahobytu verejnosti.” Hoci má Chapman od roku 1994 čistý disciplinárny záznam, počas vypočúvania sa priznal, že vraždu Johna Lennona naplánoval a spáchal „s úplne čistou mysľou.” Kvôli tomuto jeho vlastnému tvrdeniu porota, rozhodujúca o jeho podmienečnom prepustení, vyhlásila, že jeho prepustenie nie je v záujme spoločnosti.

Nahrávka z 36-minútového vypočúvania nebola okamžite dostupná, na nariadenie dvoch členov poroty.

John Lennon bol zavraždený 8. decembra 1980. Chapman vystrelil päťkrát pred obytným domom v Manhattane, kde Lennon žil so svojou manželkou Yoko Ono. Lennona zasiahli štyri strely v prítomnosti jeho ženy a ďalších ľudí.

Prekvapivo Ono nepodala žiadne svedectvo v Chapmanovom vypočúvaní, hoci v predchádzajúcom procese napísala porote proti Chapmanovmu prepusteniu. Jej právnik, Peter Shukat, iba povedal, že „je veľmi spokojná s rozhodnutím poroty.“

O Chapmanov prípad sa stále zaujíma verejnosť. Porote prišli listy od 50 ľudí ako i petícia proti Chapmanovmu prepusteniu podpísaná 1 100 ľuďmi. Iba traja ľudia písali, aby ho prepustili.

Chapmanovo ďalšie vypočúvanie je naplánované na august 2010.

9 More Lives Blown Out in Fires by Milota Sidorova

Fires that have destroyed more than 86,000 acres in the largest National Forest in California, Shasta-Trinity National Forest have probably burned out nine more lives. Tragedy of crashed helicopter, launching on Tuesday's night has overflown all American media.

Eight firefighters and a pilot, members of 1,200 crew operating in the area of turmoiled Iron and Alps complex have been missing after the helicopter crashed down and exploded. The bodies haven't been found yet, despite of located wrecks. Authorities said, it all happened in very remote, steep terrain.

Crew was aiding to rescue injured ones from the region. Nine available helicopters couldn't reach them until the the early dawn, so the troop had to stay in the mountains overnight.
Troubled helicopter Sikorsky crashed down before eight o'clock in the evening, probably hitting a bunch of a tree, as Richard Schroeder, 42, said in a phone interview from his hospital room in Redding that it seemed the propeller of the helicopter hit a tree as it was taking off.

Four more people have been rescued from the very same area. Three of them found their shelter in UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento and the last one strikes for his life in Mercy Medical Center near Redding. Two of them are in critical, the other ones in serious conditions.

However, due the exceeding temperatures and unpredictible winds the fire still rivals troops operating about 70 miles north of Sacramento. On many places firefighters have to retreat in case to save their own lives. Situation has already paid its debt – one of the most picturesque location of Feather Falls area of almost 2,500 acres burnt in few hours. Outside Yosemite National Park, a fire that has burned more than 50 square miles is nearly contained. It's destroyed at least 28 homes.

California's striking large scale fires periodically and every year pays black tribute to those, who died on duty. Apart of all emotions, tears and loss of their beloved, one must say, that it was a fight worth living. We all have to admire them.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Deväť duší v plameňoch... by Milota Sidorova

V požiaroch, ktoré v najväčšom národnom parku Shasta-Trinity v severnej Kalifornii zdevastovali už takmer 86 000 akrov pravdepodobne zahynulo deväť ľudí. Správa o požiarnikoch v explodujúcej helikoptére ako blesk obletela všetky americké médiá.

Osem požiarnikov sa spolu s pilotom už niekoľko dní pohybovalo v kritickom regióne Iron a Alps. V utorok večer skupina nasadla do helikoptéry, ktorá tesne nad povrchom explodovala. Podľa hovorkyne národného parku Jennifer Rabuck, šlo o nehodu v extrémne ťažko prístupnom teréne. Helikoptére ako aj zvyšku záchranárského tímu trvalo niekoľko hodín, kým sa dostali k tlejúcemu vraku. Telá však nenašli.

Skupina pomáhala zachraňovať a evakuovať zranených. Situáciu komplikovali aj poveternostné podmienky, pre ktoré zvyšných osem helikoptér nemohlo požiarnikov z plameňov evakuovať v utorok večer. Požiarnici ostali počas noci vydaní napospas svojim silám a Prozreteľnosti.

Podľa 42 ročného Richarda Schroedera, jedného zo štyroch evakuovaných požiarnikov sa helikoptéra pravdepodobne zachytila v korunách stromov. Informácie poskytol v telefonickom interview z nemocničného lôžka v Reddingu.

Okrem neho UC Davisovo Medicínske Centrum hospitalizovalo ďalších troch vážne zranených požiarnikov. Dvaja z nich sa nachádzajú v kritickom stave. Všetci utrpeli rozsiahle popáleniny.

Vďaka nadpriemerným teplotám a neustále sa meniacim vetrom, požiar stále vyhráva nad takmer 1200 členným požiarnickým tímom. Oheň prinútil mnoho skupín k ústupu a za niekoľko hodín stihol zdevastovať takmer 2500 akrov jednej z najmalebnejších oblastí národného parku – Feather Falls. Požiare mimo Yosemitského národného parku zatiaľ zničili územie okolo 50 štvorcových míľ a 28 obydlí. Ohrozené sú najmä vidiecke domy.

Kalifornia sa každo ročne borí s veľkoplošnými požiarmi. Každý rok v nich zahynie niekoľko či už požiarnikov, záchranárov alebo civilistov. Tento čierny údaj však ľudský faktor ovplyvniť nedokáže, a preto, ak sa pokúsim vzdialiť od pocitov nenahraditeľnej straty ich najbližších, som si istá, že životy tých, riskujúcich pre bezpečnosť druhých mali naozajstný význam. Význam, ktorý mnohí s tých, žijúcich niekde v závetrí esenciálne postrádajú.

Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Ušte devet životi odneseni vo požarite by Zivka Deleva

Požarite koi uništija poveke od 86000 akri vo najgolemata Nacionalna šuma vo Kalifornija, Šasta-Triniti Nacionalnata šuma verojatno izgorea ušte 9 životi. Tragedijata od padnatiot helikopter za vreme na lansiranjeto vo vtornikot večerta gi preplavi amerikanskite mediumi.

Osum požarnikari i pilot, členovi na ekipažot od 1200 luge koi operiraat vo oblasta Iron i Alps kompleksot se vodat kako isčeznati otkako helikopterot i se sruši i eksplodira. Telata sé ušte ne se najdeni,i pokraj lociranite ostatoci. Vlastite velat, sé se slučilo vo mnogu strmen opasen teren.
Ekipažot pomagal da se spasat povredenite vo toj region. Devet dostapni helikopteri ne možele da gi najdat do ranite utrinski zori, taka što trupata morala da prenoki vo planinite.

Problematičniot helikopter Sikorski se srušil pred 8 časot večerta, verojatno udirajki vo granka drvo, kako što izjavi Ričard Šreder, na vozrast od 42 godina, vo telefonskoto intrejvu od negovata bolnička soba vo Reding, i deka mu se činelo deka propelerot se zakačil na nekoe drvo koga odletuval.

Ušte četiri luge se spaseni od taa oblast. Trojca od niv najdoa zasolnište vo UC Davis Medical Centar vo SAkramento i posledniot se bori za svojot život vo Mercy Medical Centar blisku do Reding. Dvajca od niv se vo kritična sostojba, a drugite se vo seriozna sostojba.

Kako i da e, poradi golemite temperaturi i nepredvidlivite vetrovi požarot sé ušte im se sprotivstavuva na trupite koi operiraat na okolu 70 milji severno od Sakramento. Na mnogu mesta požarnikarite mora da se povlečat so cel da si gi spasat sopstvenite životi. Situacijata veke si go isplati dolgot - edna od najslikovitite lokacii od Feather Falls od okolu 2500 akri izgore vo samo nekolku saati. Nadvor od Yosemite National Park, požar koj izgore poveke od 50 kvadratni milji e za malku smiren. Uništi najmalku 28 domovi.

Kalifornija strada od visok stepen na požari i sekoja godina oddava počit na onie koi zaginale za vreme na svojata dolžnost. Osven site emocii, solzi i zagubata na nivnite sakani, mora da kažeme, deka toa e borba za koja vredi da se živee. Mora da im se voshituvame.
