Global
Unemployment Concerns Rise
As the
latest U.S. corporate earnings reports start to
come out, overseas markets are
bracing
for some difficult numbers.
Overall
weak economic indicators coupled with depressed
corporate data are seen as the
main
obstacles blocking a sustained rally in shares
over the coming weeks and months.
Asian
markets down
In Asia,
Japan
’
s market was closed
Monday for a national holiday but elsewhere, there
was not much to
be optimistic about.
Hong
Kong
’
s Hang Seng index was
down for a fifth straight day, dropping nearly
three
percent. The South Korean market
lost two percent, dragged down by an announcement
by carmaker Hyundai that it would cut
production by at least 25 percent at its domestic
plants.
Here in Europe,
similar worries kept most shares on the downside
with large energy
stocks taking the
biggest hits as crude oil fell below the
$$40-a-barrel mark.
US unemployment rate
also troublesome
Meanwhile,
rising unemployment in the U.S. and elsewhere
around the world is forcing
some
governments to act now. Here in Britain, Prime
Minister Gordon Brown has pledged
to
spend at least $$750 million to try to stem growing
unemployment caused by the world
3
financial crisis.
“I
t is our determination
that Britain can lead the world in showing what we
can do to help
those who become
unemployed and what we can also do to create the
jobs of the future.
And I believe we
can do it working in partnership. Britain works
best when Britain works
together and I
believe that we can show this in the partnership
to create jobs.
”
Brown determined to keep British
jobless rate under control
Speaking at
a meeting of British business and union leaders,
Brown said he was
determined to not let
unemployment spiral out of control.
“
We will be able to help
500,000 people into work or work-focused training
over the next
two years. Now, I believe
that by acting together and working together, we
can help
families and businesses
through the downturn and at the same time and by
the same
measures, we can also secure
our future competitiveness as a global
economy.
”
He
reiterated that providing training now for the
jobs of the digital future when the
downturn is over is the correct way to
proceed.
But not everyone here agrees
with his spending plans. Opposition leader David
Cameron
says rapidly-rising government
debt will unduly burden the next generation of
taxpayers.

Stocks Slide
2.9% on Loan Probe Jitters
The mainland
stock market fell sharply yesterday, with real
estate shares leading the
15
drop, as
reports that the banking regulator was
investigating a jump in companies' bill
financing made investors nervous.
The Shanghai Composite Index slid 2.93
percent to 2319.441 points in hectic trade. It
had risen 2.96 percent to a five-month
high on Monday, bringing its gains this year to 31
percent.
Turnover in
Shanghai A shares remained very heavy at 168.8
billion yuan, though it
was down from
177.5 billion yuan on Monday, when full-day
turnover neared levels last
seen during
the stock market bubble of 2007.
Data
last week showed new yuan lending soared to a
record 1.62 trillion yuan in
January.
The news accelerated the stock
market
’
s uptrend by fuelling
hopes that
economic growth might soon
start to recover.
But 39 percent of the
new loans were in the form of short-term
discounted bill financing,
up from an
average 13 percent in 2008. Some analysts believe
much of the money raised
via bill
financing went to chase short-term profits in the
stock market, rather than into
long-term investment in companies'
operations as authorities hope.
The
banking regulator is investigating the jump in
discounted bill financing, fearing it
could create excessive risks, China
Business News reported on Monday.
Vanke, China's biggest listed property
developer, tumbled 5.05 percent to 8.08 yuan
amid concern that authorities could
become less willing to cut interest rates further
if they
felt that the discounted bill
and stock markets were overheating.
Hong Kong shares slid 3.8 percent
yesterday, its biggest percentage drop in more
than
five weeks, after the Shanghai
bourse broke its long-running rally.
Worries about slowing corporate
earnings and likely capital raising weighed on
shares
across the board, with four
stocks in the red for every one in the black.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index ended
510.48 points lower at 12945.40 with
investors fretting over a likely weak
start on Wall Street later.

foreclosures. Now they may not be pretty or in the
best part of town, but some sellers
just want them off their books.
Take this one in Detroit, a three-bed,
one-bath bungalow with about a thousand square
feet, of course, it needs a total
renovation inside but the exterior, well, it's in
fairly good
shape, the price tag, that
looks even better, it's just 500 bucks. Or this
home in Cleveland, a
four-bed, one-
and-a half bath selling for 1900 bucks. For the
same amount you could get
this house in
Birmingham, Alabama. It's had major fire damage
but it's located on a public
road and
sits on about a third of an acre.
To be
sure, you will have to put more than a thousand
bucks into these homes to bring
them up
to code. But four walls and a roof for about a
grand, that may make a lot of sense
to
folks these days. But as always, be careful at

Airport
Security Screens Passengers Using New Technology
Checking baggage
for explosives hasn't
been a problem. Airport security can put bags in
x-ray machines,
open them up to look
inside, or use advanced machinery that that check
traces of
chemicals often used in
explosives.
But checking people's
bodies isn't so easy. A
TSA initiative
that began last September to rigorously frisk more
people led to dozens
of sexual
harassment complaints. So the TSA turned to
technology installing what
looks like a
longer, more complex walk-through metal detectors
in nine airports
around the country.
Jose Ralls is the TSA director from McCarran
International in
Las Ralls: The
machine actually will talk to the individual,
telling them to
stand inside and wait,
and as soon as they are cleared, it will tell them
to proceed.
From a distance, Mr. Ralls
watches one airport passenger go through the
process.
Jose Ralls: Now he knows to go
on through, and he just waits, and as soon as the
air is
analyzed he will be allowed to
proceed forward. The machine blasts air downward
and across whoever inside the portal.
Mr. Ralls says that often startles people.
Jose Ralls: That's why our focus out
there is to explain to them what will be taking
place,the noise that they will be
hearing.
The way it's supposed to work
is that suspicious particles on clothing and
exposed skin
are blasted towards the
floor -- where, within seven seconds, the machine
can detect 40
types of explosives. If
any are found, security is alerted.
According to the
manufacturer, Smith Detection, the
portals
also have less than 1% error
rate.
Company vice president Mark
Lastra says this technology is commonly used
elsewhere.
Smith Detection:
Mostly highly controlled facilities, sensitive
security,
such as nuclear power plants
and government buildings with high security needs.
Along with increasing security, the TSA
hopes to cut down on
passenger wait
times.
It is collecting data from the
airports in
this test base to see if
the machines are faster
and more
efficient than human inspectors.
The
Transportation Security Administration plans to
deploy five more of these
portals
elsewhere in the nation by late spring. Eventually
it would like the explosive
detectors
to be as common
as metal detectors. I
am Ky Plaskon in Las Vegas.
题目：
a long time, checking
baggage for explosives has been a

Computer Simulations Might
Predict Future Earthquakes
Geologists say they knew a larger
earthquake was coming in
South Asia,
but they did not know when.
The
Himalayan Mountains were formed some 150 million
years ago
after the landmass that is
now India broke off from Antarctica,
drifted north and collided with the
rest of Asia.
Scientists say the South
Asian land mass is still moving
towards
North Asia at the rate of about two centimeters a
year,
making the area prone to
earthquakes.
Harley Benz is a
researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey
26
earthquake
information center.
Harley Benz: It's a
broad zone of deformation, and across this
zone that extends 1,000 kilometers, you
have a whole series of
faults and
folds.
Another earthquake-prone region
is along the 1300 kilometer
San Andreas
Fault in California.
It is here that
John Rundle, a physics and engineering
professor at the University of
California at Davis, is testing his
earthquake computer simulation.
John Rundle: You take these
simulations, you turn them on, you
run
them and you do as good a job as possible in
simulating or
representing the past
history of activity on the fault systems.
Dr. Rundle uses information from tools
such as global
positioning satellites
to create a virtual reality model of
thousands of years of earthquake
activity along the San Andreas
Fault.
He says that in the future, this computer model
may be able
to predict some earthquakes
just as hurricane paths are now
forecast.
John Rundle: Our
goal is to be able to make forecasts on that
kind of time scale and then to improve
it to the point where we're
actually
able to see the preparation process in the months
and
year or two leading up to a large
earthquake.
Dr. Rundle says that
several decades from now, one third of
the world's population could live in
seismically active regions.
He hopes
that by then, the virtual reality software will
help
prevent the heavy loss of life
caused by tragedies such as the

years ago,

Five are in waters northwest of Australia, while
others are off the
continent's
east
coast
in
the
Coral
Sea.
Additional
buoys
are
further
south
in
the
Tasman
Sea.
Barry Drummond from the government's
Geosciences office says the new system
will provide accurate information about
the risks
of giant waves.

the coastline of whichever state, the center is
now in a
position
to be able
to say, along that coastline these areas are more
susceptible than those and in these
areas the threat will be to things in the water;
swimmers, boats,
harbors and that sort
of things and within these other areas the
tsunami
may
come
ashore
and
then
these
are
the
areas
that
you
have
to
worry
about,
Drummond.
monitoring equipment allows
scientists to
pinpoint the location of
an earthquake that
could
trigger
a
tsunami,
its
depth and strength.
The
Australian
system also
will
provide sea level
and seismic data to
vulnerable island nations in the Pacific Ocean and
also to authorities
in
epicenter
of
the
undersea
earthquake
that
triggered
the
December
26,
2004,
Indian
Ocean
tsunami
occurred
off
the
west
coast
of
Sumatra
in
Indonesia.
More
than
200,000 people were
killed in 11 countries. Many coastal areas were
swamped by waves up to 30
meters
high. It was one of
the
world's worst natural disasters.
Indonesia, Thailand, India and Sri
Lanka were hardest hit. Unlike the
Pacific, the Indian Ocean did not have a system to
warn coastal
communities
that a tsunami
was on the
way.
In the aftermath of
the
2004 disaster, scientists and
governments began working on an alert

Australia Sets Up New Tsunami Warning
System
The Australian
tsunami warning system is part of what
officials hope will be a network of
centers across the Indian Ocean
that
share scientific data. Indonesia, which was badly
hit by the
Indian Ocean tsunami four
years ago, is expected to have its own
early warning mechanism working by the
end of the year.
The Australian project
is based in the southern city of
Melbourne and relies on high technology
deep sea buoys. Five are
in waters
northwest of Australia, while others are off the
continent's east coast in the Coral
Sea. Additional buoys are
further south
in the Tasman Sea.
Barry Drummond from
the government's Geosciences office says
the new system will provide accurate
information about the risks
of giant
waves.

whichever state, the center is now in a position
to be able to say, along that coastline

susceptible than
those and in these areas the threat will be to
things in the water; swimmers, boats,
harbors and that sort of
things and
within these other areas the tsunami may come
ashore

and then
these are the areas that you have to worry
about,
explained Drummond.
over-warn and ensures we don't under-
warn.
The sensitive monitoring equipment
allows scientists to
pinpoint the
location of an earthquake that could trigger a
tsunami, its depth and strength.
The Australian system also will provide
sea level and seismic
data to
vulnerable island nations in the Pacific Ocean and
also to
authorities in Japan.
The epicenter of the undersea
earthquake that triggered the
December
26, 2004, Indian Ocean tsunami occurred off the
west
coast of Sumatra in Indonesia.
More than 200,000 people were killed in
11 countries. Many
coastal areas were
swamped by waves up to 30 meters high.
It was one of the world's worst natural
disasters. Indonesia,
Thailand, India
and Sri Lanka were hardest hit.
Unlike
the Pacific, the Indian Ocean did not have a
system to
warn coastal communities that
a tsunami was on the way.
In the
aftermath of the 2004 disaster, scientists and
governments began working on an alert
network for the Indian Ocean
region.

Artificial Heart Implanted
Surgeons in the American state of
Kentucky have implanted the
world's
first self-contained mechanical heart. The unnamed
patient
is said to be resting
comfortably. The implant is the first of
five human trials licensed in America.
The hospital that made
history is
releasing few details: The artificial heart was
implanted on Monday. The patient, an
American, is said to be
46
comfortable
and responsive.
Hospital Official: The
quiet period is necessary; it's in the best
interest of the patient and of the
physician. It's in the best
interest of
patient care.
This heart replacement
device is the product of decades of
research. It is self-contained within
the body, powered by an
internal
battery, which is itself recharged by a clip-on
external
battery pack.
Doctor: If it fulfills its promise,
people will be able to engage
in full
exercise and activities and will not be tethered
down by
the external machine that does
the pumping.
Thousands of patients in
America are waiting for heart
transplants. One day the new breed of
mechanical heart might offer
a viable
alternative but for now it's experimental.
The first
recipient was
close to death and didn't expect to live more than
a
few months, nonetheless, medical
trials will continue.
