    HARVEY CEDARS, N.J. (AP) — The sand dune that ruined Harvey and Phyllis Karan's view of the ocean allowed their beachfront home to see another day when Superstorm Sandy's surge crashed ashore. They still want the $375,000 a court awarded them for the blocked sunrise, though.

    The Karans were never against the dune, their attorney says; rather, they deserve to be compensated for the decrease in property value to their $1.7 million home. They have company up and down the Jersey shore, where thousands of homes were saved from the October storm because they had robust dune systems protecting them from the pounding surf. Many places that didn't suffered catastrophic damage.

    Most coastal homeowners want the government to build dunes and widen beaches near their homes. Yet some still refuse to give permission for the projects to proceed, citing the loss of precious ocean views and fearing governments could build boardwalks or amusement piers near their homes — something officials stress they have no intention of doing. The prospect of honky-tonk entertainment districts like the one in Seaside Heights, once home to the hard-partying Snooki and company of the reality show "Jersey Shore," is anathema to many in oceanfront neighborhoods where even smaller houses can go for several million dollars.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers won't begin such projects without signed easements from all the affected oceanfront homeowners that give them permission to access the property for the work. Sandy has only intensified an effort that had been under way since at least 2008 to get the holdouts to sign.

    But Gov. Chris Christie has little sympathy for lost views. "For the people that didn't want a dune to block their view, they now no longer have a house to block the view from," he said. "So, how about that choice?" He said he may seek to force the holdouts to submit the dune work, whether through eminent domain or some other governmental maneuver.

    Sandy has indeed changed some minds. Mantoloking, which was nearly obliterated by Sandy, has signed easements or verbal commitments from 120 of the 128 oceanfront owners it needs to proceed with beach work. And many of the towns on Long Beach Island are closing in on their final pockets of holdouts, five years after first asking.

    The Karans' case, which will be heard by the New Jersey Supreme Court this year, is the most highly publicized.

    Harvey Cedars, a narrow spit of sand in the northern part of the barrier Long Beach Island, has been battling with oceanfront homeowners for years over permission to construct protective sand dunes. The Karans refused to sign, and the borough used its powers of eminent domain to take the land it needed for the dune project.

    It included a 22-foot berm that, while offering protection from the killer storm, also blocked the couple's views of the water. That, they claim, reduced the value of the property by about $500,000, and they sued.

    "What people are saying to the Karans is, 'You should give your property to the government so that my property won't be damaged,'" attorney Peter Wegener said. "But if you take it, pay just compensation for it. They want to take people's property for nothing."

    Harvey Cedars had offered $300 to the couple, arguing the figure was fair, given the benefit of protection from storms that the dune project provided. A bill pending in the Legislature would force courts to consider the value of protection from storms that dune projects add to oceanfront homes when calculating damages for lost water views.

    Without such a law, as state Sen. Bob Smith put it, "you'd have to be a total jabootz" not to hold out for a six-figure payday in such situations. He's sponsoring a law to hold down court awards.

    Renate Early owns a small restaurant four houses in from the beach in Harvey Cedars, near the Karans. She has little sympathy for lost views, given what Sandy did to the shore.

    "If you don't like the view on the first floor, go look out the second floor," she said. "If we didn't have the dunes, we would have no store. It would have floated away. I'm positive of that."

    Several of the private beach associations in hard-hit Toms River are refusing to sign easements, to the great frustration of Mayor Thomas Kelaher.

    "They worry we might put a merry-go-round or a hot dog stand in their front yard," he said, rolling his eyes. "People are so crazy not to sign it. I just can't believe people are so obstinate."

    Ed and Patricia Newman live in the Holgate section of Long Beach Township, where dozens of homes were smashed to bits. But the home they have owned since 1999 lost only a bit of siding because of a decades-old dune system between them and the surf.

    "We had a good dune with lots of pine trees and bayberry bushes anchoring it in place," Patricia Newman said. "It saved our home."

    Mantoloking — like most of New Jersey's hardest-hit areas, situated on a barrier island — suffered the state's worst destruction; every last one of its 521 homes was damaged, and scores were simply washed off the map. The storm cut a channel between the ocean and Barnegat Bay, severing the town in two before repairs filled the breach.

    The wealthy community has traditionally opposed beach replenishment and dune projects, although Sandy changed many minds and led borough officials to campaign for holdouts to sign their easements so beach protection can begin as soon as possible.

    Police Chief Mark Wright is mystified as to why all the oceanfront owners haven't signed yet.

    "What more needs to happen?" he said.

    Yet even after all the damage Sandy did, the fear of the public encroaching on heretofore private patches of the coast remains a powerful deterrent for some homeowners.

    Michael Becker, who owns an advertising firm, owns a vacation home on the ocean in Mantoloking. He signed — but only reluctantly.

    "I don't mind that the government would own the land they place in front of ours," he said. "All I ask for and didn't get is a clause saying they won't build a boardwalk or some other form of entertainment in front of our house. They say, no, they're not going to add anything. But it doesn't guarantee that the government can't add a boardwalk in front of our house. We only want to protect against what the government can do."

    Mark Donohue, whose father owns an oceanfront house in Mantoloking, supports the beach protection project. But he said his father, too, is concerned about what the government might do once it gets the right to some of the beachfront land.

    "This project should happen; it needs to happen," he said. "The common good is a good thing, but you can't just do away with private property rights."

    Clifford Lewis, an 89-year-old who has been sailing on Barnegat Bay since 1930s, had a large garden at his home in Mantoloking, known for its prize-winning chrysanthemums.

    "I am now too old to rebuild the garden," he said. "If the problem is not quickly resolved, beachfront people will lose significant value. To expect the state of New Jersey to assist us in a second debacle is ridiculous."

    seasonal closures or closing the fishery

    High prices expected for Maine elver season

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- Last year's eel fishing season started strongly when prices rocketed above $2,000 a pound. High prices are again expected when the 2013 season kicks off Friday.

    Prices won't be set until the catch gets under way, but eel dealers say there's little doubt that they'll be high.

    "If the catches are great, the prices will go lower. If the catches are poor, the prices will go higher," said Mitchell Feigenbaum, owner of Delaware Valley Fish Co., which buys eels in Portland and ships them to China. "There's still ample demand for the product worldwide."

    The price that fishermen get for their eels has fluctuated wildly through the years, but spiked two years ago due to an eel shortage from Japan and export restrictions in Europe.

    Last year the price reached unprecedented levels. When all was said and done, they were worth $38 million — an average of just under $2,000 a pound — to fishermen, making it the state's second-most-valuable fishery behind lobster in 2012.

    The state has issued 413 licenses to fishermen who stake out spots along Maine's coastal rivers and streams, where they catch the eels in fine-mesh nets as they swim upstream during the 10-week season, which ends May 31.

    Besides the licenses issued by the state, the Passamaquoddy tribe issued another 237 licenses to tribal members last year, up from two the previous year. The tribe issued the licenses when the prices shot up, arguing they were entitled to fish what they wanted because state law didn't put any limit on tribal licenses.

    Tim LaRochelle, a harvester and eel buyer from Woolwich, and two of his fishermen friends parked their vehicles in a lot along a river outside of Portland on Thursday in preparation for the season ahead. They'll work the river in the weeks ahead, sleep in their vehicles and won't leave until the season is over, he said.

    He first fished for eels in the mid-1990s and recalls years when he was getting under $30 a pound. Fishermen typically haul in about two pounds per day.

    In years past, nobody ever thought prices would go as high as they have, he said. There were reports of fishermen making $10,000 to $20,000 a day last year.

    But he's thankful there's a strong appetite for eel dishes such as kabayaki in Asia.

    "Somebody said they eat eels like we eat hamburgers," he said.

    With elvers worth so much last year, law enforcement officials issued 300 summonses and another 98 warnings for elver violations, mostly for fishing without a license.

    Marine Patrol Maj. Alan Talbot said this year could also be a busy one for his officers.

    "We've heard the price is still going to be very high," Talbot said. "I've heard anywhere between $2,000 and $3,000, but who knows. It's hard to tell until the season starts."

    State officials have expressed concerns over how many licenses the Passamaquoddy tribe might issue this year, said Rep. Walter Kumiega, co-chairman of the Legislature's marine resources committee. Officials want to issue enough licenses to allow fishermen to reap benefits, but not so many that the state is in violation of federal fishing regulations, he said.

    There is no cap on how many licenses the tribe can issue, but the Marine Resources Committee last week endorsed an emergency bill that would limit the tribe to 200 licenses, while giving the Houlton Band of Maliseets tribe 16 licenses and allowing for another 25 nontribal licenses. The full Legislature is expected to vote on the bill this week.

    Another concern is a recent stock assessment of American eels that concluded that the eel population is technically depleted in U.S. waters.

    The population along the eastern seaboard is at or near historically low levels due to a combination of overfishing, habitat loss, predation, environmental changes, disease, toxins and contaminants, food web alterations and turbine mortality, according to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which is based in Virginia and regulates the eel fishery.

    As a result of the stock assessment, an ASMFC eel management board has drafted a proposal looking at potential new management measures for glass eels — the type harvested in Maine — as well as silver and yellow eels, said Kate Taylor of the ASMFC. Management options include quotas, gear restrictions, seasonal closures or closing the fishery, she said.

    Glass, yellow and silver eels are all the same eel, but at different life stages. Glass eel harvesting is prohibited in all states except Maine and South Carolina, and only Maine has a significant catch. Yellow eels, and silver eels to a lesser extent, are harvested commercially in several states, primarily for food and for bait for recreational fishermen.

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has also been petitioned to review whether eels should be listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. A 2007 review found that federal protection wasn't warranted.

    m3 ds real ＊英文の訂正により、３段落目の「１０５２万件」を「１０５億２０００万件」に訂正します

    訂正：2012年の米公共交通機関利用が過去2番目の高水準＝調査［ワシントン　１１日　ロイター］　業界団体の米公共輸送協会（ＡＰＴＡ）の年次調査によると、通勤のための公共交通機関利用が２０１２年は過去２番目の水準となった。

    雇用情勢の改善が背景で、大半の公共輸送機関が集中する東海岸地域でハリケーン「サンディ」による被害がなければ、利用はさらに伸びていた（ＡＰＴＡメラニファイ会長）とみられている。

    ２０１２年の公共交通機関利用は前年比１．４９％増加。電車、バス、通勤・通学用電車の利用は１０５億２０００万件（訂正）だった。

    輸送種別毎に見ると、地下鉄などの重量軌道が１．４２％、軽量軌道が４．４７％、通勤用電車が０．５２％、バスが１．２％、それぞれ増加,昨年１２月に続く２カ月連続の１５％増となった。種別を問わず利用増が見られた,　また、暗黒星雲は星の誕生場所としても知られており、「ループス3」とこの星団も密接に関係している。一部の軽量軌道については、路線の延長や新設により利用が増加した。

    ただ昨年第４・四半期は、巨大ハリケーン「サンディ」上陸の影響で、前年同期から減少した。

    ２０１２年の公共交通機関利用は、記録のある１９５７年以来最大だった２００８年以来の高水準。メラニファイ会長は、燃料価格上昇と渋滞を嫌うムードが、公共交通機関の利用増につながったとしている。

    「サンディ」の被害が最も甚大だったニューヨーク州とニュージャージー州では、少なくとも４万１６００人の雇用が失われたが、同会長は、全利用中約６０％を通勤が占めたと指摘した。

    ＊英文の訂正により、３段落目の「１０５２万件」を「１０５億２０００万件」に訂正します。【関連記事】 2月米非農業部門雇用者数は23.6万人増、景気の底力示す ホーム・デポ第４四半期予想上回る、住宅市場回復・サンディ需要で 米ロウズ第4四半期業績が予想上回る、サンディ復興が後押し 米ＡＩＧ第4四半期は40億ドルの純損失計上、航空機リース事業売却で 米ＵＰＳ第4四半期利益が予想下回る、13年利益見通しも

    『銃・病原菌・鉄』のジャレド・ダイアモンド来日講演　全文書き起こし（1／2）（1/7ページ）もっと見る科学未来館で講演するダイアモンド氏ニコニコニュース(オリジナル)　世界的ベストセラー『銃・病原菌・鉄』でピュリッツアー賞を受けた進化生物学者ジャレド・ダイアモンド氏が2013年2月11日、日本科学未来館で講演を開いた。講演では、新著『昨日までの世界』の内容をふまえ、高齢化社会に我々がどうすべきかを部族社会をヒントにして語った。ニコニコ生放送でも一部始終が配信されたこの講演を、今回は全文書き起こして紹介する。■ 「日本にまた来られたことを嬉しく思っています」　本日、日本にまた来られたことを嬉しく思っています。3回目の訪問になりますが、日本はとても美しい国です。皆さんは幸運なことに日本に住んでいるわけですが、私は残念なことに短い間しかご訪問できないのです。今回は妻と一緒に来日しました。私の妻には日本人の親戚もおり、親戚との再会を嬉しく思っています。　これから講演を始めますが、それが皆さんにとって実用的な価値があるかどうか知りたいので、まず最初に挙手をお願いしたいと思います。2つの質問をしますので、どちらかに手を上げてください。　皆さんの中で、「65歳以上の方」、もしくは「65歳以上長生きをしようと思っていらっしゃる方」、あるいは「ご両親や祖父母が65歳以上まで生きた、もしくは現在65歳以上でご存命の方」、これらのグループに入る方は挙手してください――たくさんですね。いま手を挙げてくださった皆さまは、私の話に実用的な価値があると思われるでしょう。　では「65歳以下の方」、または「65歳以上は長生きしたくないと思っていらっしゃる方」、そして「ご両親や祖父母が65歳までは生きられなかった方」、こちらのカテゴリーの方も手を挙げていただけますか――あまりいらっしゃいませんよね。あるいは、恥ずかしいと思っていらっしゃるのでしょうか......。確かに、皆様には、個人的には直接関係していないかもしれません。しかし、それでも私の話す内容は興味深いと思っていただけると思います。■ 「高齢者問題」を部族社会から考える　それでは、今日は、現代の伝統的社会で年をとっていくことについて話したいと思います。このトピックは、私の最新の著書『昨日までの世界』ではわずか１章にしか書かれていません。その中では、伝統的な小規模部族社会と、われわれが住んでいる大きな現代社会をあらゆる側面で比較しています。この新しい本の他の章では、子育て、高齢者、健康と病気、危機とそれに対する反応、紛争解決、戦争、宗教、多くの言語を話すこと――こういったものも比較しています。　さて、ここにお集まりの皆さんもまた、大きな先進工業国家に住んでいます。決まった場所に定住し、中央集権の国家が決定を行い、国民は読み書きができ、本やインターネットから情報を取る――そんな社会に住んでいるわけです。このような社会では、ほとんどの人たちが60歳以上まで生きていて、食べ物は自分たちが作らず、他人が作った物を食べて生きていると思います。　しかし、忘れてはいないでしょうか。こうしたさまざまな習慣は、600万年にもおよぶ人類の歴史の長い進化の中では、ごく最近に起こったものです。いま申し上げた色々な習慣は、1万1,000年前には、世界のどこにも存在しませんでした,R4i フレッシュな選手が首位を走り、実力者たちがそれを追いかける大混戦の様相を呈してきた。その中のいくつかは――例えばインターネットの登場や、ほとんどの人たちが60歳以上まで生きている状況など――わずか100年、もしくは10年から20年の間に起こった大きな動きです。つまり、われわれの先祖は伝統的な部族集団の中でずっと生きてきたのであり、人類の進化という時間軸を考えれば、ほとんど昨日までそういう暮らしをしてきたとも言えると思うのです。　500年ほど前に、ヨーロッパ人が世界中に進出していきました。それまでは、すべての大陸の大部分に存在していたのは、部族社会です。最近では、部族社会も国家の管理下に置かれるようになっています。まだ国家の管理下に置かれていない部族社会はありますが、ニューギニアやアマゾン川の流域といった限られた地域にしかありません。しかし、部族社会は人類の歴史のほとんどの社会形態だったわけで、現代の大規模社会よりもはるかに多様性を持っています。大規模社会では共通の特徴として、政府があって、ほとんどの国民同士は個人的な面識がありません。アメリカ、中国、日本、イスラエル、ドイツ、アルゼンチン......どこであれ、大規模社会にこの傾向は見られるわけです。■ 部族社会は社会の「自然実験」を何千回も行ってきた　それに対して、部族社会には、たくさんの大きく根本的に違う点があるのです,「うちの子のお土産に」と買っていくお客さんが多いという福島県福島市郊外の小さな街のパン屋さん「ぱんぴあ　さくま」。部族社会というのは、どうすれば人間社会を運営していけるのかという、ある意味での自然実験を何千回も行ってきた結果、非常に多様性が高い社会運営のノウハウが実践されているのです。そこから学べることは多いと思います。　例えば、いまの日本において「子どもの自由がどこまで許されるべきか」を考えてみましょう。そのときに、「自由が少ない、もっと放任するべきだ」と考えていたとします。しかし、ここで日本人たちを自然実験の中に置くことはできません。　例えば、47都道府県の中で実験をするとして――火やナイフを与えてもいい16県を選び、別の16県はちゃんと親に従わなければいけない厳しい県にして、それ以外は現状のままと決めて、３つの集団に日本を分けたとします。そして、子どもたちを実験対象にしたとしましょう。そうすれば40年後には、対象の子どもたちが大人になり、その比較から自由を少なくした方がいいのか、与えた方がいいのか、いまの程度でよかったか、という質問に答えることができるかと思います。でも、残念ながらこのような実験はできないのです。　しかし、伝統的社会では、自由な環境で子育てがされている社会や、そうでもない社会というのが、事例としてたくさんあるのです。伝統的社会の実践は、いまの日本やアメリカの社会よりも多様性があるのです。そこから学べる可能性はあるし、実用性も高いと思います。高齢者への対応の仕方や、どうやって健康を維持しているかなど、われわれがいま心配しているさまざまなことについても伝統的社会から学べるはずです。　部族社会は原始的で、また惨めで、軽蔑（けいべつ）されるものとするのは間違っています。しかし、幸せで平和な社会だと理想化するのもまた、違います。部族の習慣について知ると、中にはぞっとするものもある一方で、いいなと思ったりうらやましいと思うものもある――そして、中には自分たちでも取り入れることはできないものかと思うものもある、というわけです。 高齢者を遺棄する５つの方法 前のページ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 次のページ

    アステラス製薬：2型糖尿病治療薬/SGLT2阻害剤 イプラグリフロジン（ASP1941）の国内承認申請に関するお知らせTokyo, Mar 13, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - アステラス製薬株式会社（本社：東京、社長：畑中好彦、以下「アステラス製薬」）は、SGLT2阻害剤イプラグリフロジン L-プロリン（一般名：以下「イプラグリフロジン」、開発コード：ASP1941）に関し、本日、2型糖尿病を適応症として厚生労働省に承認申請を行いましたので、お知らせします。イプラグリフロジンは、アステラス製薬と寿製薬株式会社との共同研究において見出されたSGLT2（Sodium-Glucose Co-transporter 2）選択的阻害薬です。SGLTは細胞表面に存在する膜タンパク質で、ブドウ糖の細胞内への輸送をつかさどっています。SGLT2はSGLTのサブタイプの1つであり、腎臓近位尿細管でのブドウ糖再取り込みにおいて重要な役割を担っています。イプラグリフロジンはこのSGLT2を選択的に阻害することで、ブドウ糖の再取り込みを抑制し、血糖値を下げる薬剤です。国内で実施した第III相単独療法試験において、イプラグリフロジン群ではプラセボ群と比較して、血糖コントロールの指標であるHbA1c値の有意な低下が認められるとともに、糖尿病治療薬としての安全性に問題がないことが確認されました。また、既存の糖尿病治療薬と幅広く併用可能なことも新規経口血糖降下剤として重要であることから、他の血糖降下剤（6種類）と長期併用投与した第III相試験を実施しました。その結果、他の血糖降下剤併用下においてもイプラグリフロジンの有効性及び安全性が確認されました。アステラス製薬は、新規作用機序による経口血糖降下剤であるイプラグリフロジンを市場に投入することにより、新たな治療選択肢を提供することで、2型糖尿病治療に一層の貢献ができるものと期待しています。2型糖尿病について糖尿病は、体内の血糖値の調整が困難になる疾患であり、主に1型糖尿病と2型糖尿病の2つのタイプに分けられます。このうち2型糖尿病は以前「インスリン非依存型糖尿病」、または「成人発症型糖尿病」と呼ばれており、体内において血漿中の糖を体内に吸収する役割を担うインスリンが効きづらくなることとインスリンの相対的な欠乏から血糖値が高くなる状態をいいます。糖尿病の治療はまず運動療法と食事療法が行われますが、症状が進行するにつれて薬物療法が必要となります。本リリースの詳細は下記URLをご参照ください。 http://www,　同会議は1999年から毎年、韓国と日本で交互に開催されている.astellas.com/jp/corporate/news/アステラス製薬株式会社詳細は www,　　Ｖ３へ、原監督の「参戦」は何より心強い.astellas.com/jp をご覧ください。Source: アステラス製薬株式会社Copyright 2013 JCN Newswire.

    U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel,…

    KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel encountered political tension with the Afghan president and a series of security problems during his first visit to Afghanistan as Pentagon chief, but he met privately with President Hamid Karzai and says they discussed the key issues.

    Hagel says he understands that Karzai faces political pressures as the war winds down.

    "I think he understands where we are and where we've been, and hopefully where we're going together," Hagel told reporters, but he declined to detail their talks.

    Hagel is disputing Karzai's accusations that the U.S. and the Taliban are working in concert to show that violence in the country will worsen if most coalition troops leave.

    The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Joseph Dunford, also rejected the charges Karzai made Sunday as "categorically false."

    But the accusations were just the latest in a series of disputes that have frayed relations between the two nations as the U,r4ds 通販.S. works to wrap up the war and turn the country's security over to the Afghans.

    Speaking to reporters soon after Karzai made the comments, Dunford said the Afghan leader has never expressed such views to him but said it was understandable that tensions would arise as the coalition balances the need to complete its mission with the Afghans' move to exercise more sovereignty.

    "We have fought too hard over the past 12 years, we have shed too much blood over the past 12 years, we have done too much to help the Afghan security forces grow over the last 12 years to ever think that violence or instability would be to our advantage," said Dunford.

    Dunford's comments came soon after U.S. officials canceled a news conference with Hagel and Karzai because of a security threat — just a day after a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense Ministry, killing nine Afghan civilians and wounding 14 others. Hagel heard the explosion from the safe location where he was meeting with Afghan officials but was never in danger.

    The security problems compounded a series of flare-ups in recent weeks, including a dispute that has stalled the transfer of a U.S. prison to Afghan authority as well as Karzai's order to expel U.S. special operations forces out of Wardak province, which lies just outside the capital, because of allegations that Afghans working with the commandos were involved in abusive behavior,r4 karte.

    Hagel said he's known Karzai since soon after the U,3DS対応マジコン embezzled.S. invasion in late 2001, adding that such extended relationships can often be beneficial, especially when dealing with complicated issues.

    The U.S. and Afghan leaders are in the midst of negotiations over the long-term presence of American forces in Afghanistan beyond the end of 2014, when all combat troops are scheduled to leave.

    U.S. officials would not provide details on the security concerns that led to canceling the news conference,UGG ムートンブーツ 新作. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the matter publicly. But Pentagon press secretary George Little said the cancellation was not due to Karzai's earlier comments about the U.S. and the Taliban.

    During a nationally televised speech, Karzai said two suicide bombings that killed 19 people on Saturday — the one outside the Afghan Defense Ministry and the other near a police checkpoint in eastern Khost province — show the insurgent group is conducting attacks to help show that international forces will still be needed to keep the peace after their current combat mission ends in 2014.

    "The explosions in Kabul and Khost yesterday showed that they are at the service of America and at the service of this phrase: 2014. They are trying to frighten us into thinking that if the foreigners are not in Afghanistan, we would be facing these sorts of incidents," he said during the speech about the state of Afghan women.

    Karzai is known for making incendiary comments in his public speeches. And Dunford on Sunday said that some of the recent disputes between the U,iphone4s ケース おしゃれ.S.-led coalition and Afghan leaders "strike at the heart of sovereignty" and could be more political in nature. He said Karzai may be doing what he needs to do to communicate with the Afghan people and their political leaders outside the government.

    That argument also resonated with Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska.

    "I was once a politician so I can understand the kind of pressures that especially leaders of countries are always under," Hagel said. "I would hope that, again, we can move forward, and I have confidence we will,r4ds, and deal with these issues."

    Dunford rejected the suggestion that the recent friction reflects erosion in the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan.

    "We do not have a broken relationship,r4 I demanded as ", we do not have a lack of trust," said Dunford, adding that none of the political dust-ups have bled over into his dealings with his Afghan security force counterparts. He said efforts to train and advise the Afghan security forces have continued and that plans for them to be in the lead for security across the country later this summer are on track.

    ２１億年前の隕石から火星の水、米研究チームが発見

    ２１億年前の隕石から火星の水、米研究チームが発見
    （ＣＮＮ）　火星の水を多く含んだ２１億年前の隕石（いんせき）が見つかったとして、米国の研究チームが科学誌サイエンス・エクスプレスに研究成果を発表した。

    ニューメキシコ大学隕石研究所の研究チームは、火星から来たと思われる隕石を真空管に入れて加熱し、放出された気体を質量分析計を使って調べた。その結果、この気体が火星の水の蒸気であることを確認。

    これまでに見つかった火星からの隕石に比べて１０倍以上の水の分子が含まれていたことが分かった。カール・エイジー同研究所長は「いわば火星の水が眠りから目覚めたといえる」と話す。

    隕石はモロッコで見つかったもので、１個目の発見を受けて探したところ、同様のものが複数見つかった。最も大きいもので手のひらに載るほどの大きさで、重さは３２０グラムあった。

    隕石は噴火でできた火山岩とみられ、水との接触によって鉱物の構造の中に水分が取り込まれた結果、２０億年以上たった今もその状態が保たれたとみられる。どんな形状の水と接触していたのかは不明だが、火星の湖または川、地下水、さらには凍土が噴火の熱で溶けた可能性も考えられ、「相当量（の水が）あったことは確か」（エイジー所長）だという。

    火星はかつて、現在よりもずっと温暖で湿度が高く、大気と水があったという説が有力だ。今回見つかった隕石は、当時の火星の状態について知る手がかりになると研究チームは期待する。

    さらにこの隕石は、米航空宇宙局（ＮＡＳＡ）の探査機が火星の地表で発見した岩石と同様の化学成分を持っていることも分かった。現在の火星の岩石にこれほど近い隕石が見つかったのは初めて。年代的にも、これまで見つかった隕石の中では、南極で見つかった４５億年前のものとされる隕石に次いで２番目の古さだという。【関連記事】 ブラジル女子高生が「初体験」をネットで競売　議論呼ぶ 女性６人を性的奴隷で監禁した男に死刑判決　中国 外国人旅行者も驚く、日本が世界に誇れる５つの美点 売春拒否した２０歳女性の首を切断　アフガン 海底に眠るＵＦＯ？　バルト海で謎の巨大物体を発見

    「寝ているときは性行為していない」　内柴被告、改めて無罪主張　女子柔道部員乱暴事件
    泥酔した教え子の女子柔道部員に乱暴したとして、準強姦罪に問われたアテネ・北京両五輪の柔道金メダリスト、内柴正人被告（３４）の第５回公判が２８日、東京地裁（鬼沢友直裁判長）で開かれた。内柴被告は被告人質問で「性行為はしたが、寝ているときにしたというのは事実でない」と改めて無罪を主張した。　内柴被告は初公判でも「（女性は）間違いなく起きており合意の上だった」として、起訴内容を否認している。この日は、白いシャツに黒いカーディガン姿で、落ち着いた様子で弁護側の質問に答えた。　事件前、女性を含めた部員らと焼き肉店で飲食したことについては「体を大きくして力をつけさせるため、食事にはだいたい必ず学生を連れて行っていた」と説明。「女性に酒を勧めたが応じなかった。飲酒の強要はしていない」と話した。その後、訪れたカラオケ店では「女性が吐きそうな様子だったので、トイレに連れて行き、口に指を入れて吐かせた」と述べた。　起訴状などによると、内柴被告は昨年９月、コーチを務めていた九州看護福祉大女子柔道部の遠征先だった東京都八王子市のホテルで、酒に酔った１０代の女子部員に乱暴したとされる。内柴被告、隣室の別の女子部員との性行為も認める「以前から告白されていた」

    - South Korea has increased its budget to fund North Korea-related projects this year

    South Korea budgets for sunnier ties with reclusive North

    SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea has increased its budget to fund North Korea-related projects this year, government data showed on Thursday, with a new president seeking closer relations due to take office in Seoul and signs of an opening from Pyongyang.

    The two Koreas remain technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended with a truce, not a treaty, and relations plunged under South Korean President Lee Myung-bak who cut aid dramatically after the shooting of a South Korean tourist in the North in 2008.

    Lee's single term ends in February when he will be replaced by Park Geun-hye, who has pledged engagement with the isolated and impoverished North, whose new leader Kim Jong-un signaled a desire for better ties in a speech on New Year's Day.

    South Korea's Ministry of Unification said parliament had approved a 9.1 percent rise in the inter-Korean cooperation fund this year to 1.1 trillion won ($1.03 billion).

    "The last offer for talks we made to North Korea was last summer, when the North was suffering from flood damage," said Park Soo-jin, a spokeswoman for the ministry.

    "We have made the request countless times, and we can say that the offer (to talk) is still open."

    The budget was higher across the board than in 2012, with more money to support exchanges between families that were divided during the Korean War as well as humanitarian aid.

    However, it was still well short of the levels seen during the presidency of late former President Roh Moo-hyun, who maintained his predecessor's "sunshine-policy" engagement stance.

    Both Roh and his predecessor, Kim Dae-jung, were left-of-centre presidents who sought engagement, pouring hundreds of billions of dollars of state and private aid into the North in a bid to prevent Pyongyang developing nuclear weapons.

    The North pushed ahead with its nuclear program and has conducted two tests, in 2006 and 2009, and is believed to be readying a third. Last month it successfully launched a long-range rocket that critics say is aimed at developing missile technology.

    Just two weeks after the launch, Kim Jong-un, who took over after his father died in December 2011, called in his New Year's address for "an end to the division of the country" and to "remove confrontation".

    Political analysts said that while welcome, the statement would not result in better ties unless North Korea abandoned its nuclear ambitions. North Korea has offered olive branches many times before, only to withdraw the offer later and resume shrill threats of all-out war.

    Park, the daughter of South Korea's former ruler, Park Chung-hee, has said she will engage the North, but that it needs to drop its nuclear ambitions.

    France may curb use of riskier oral contraceptives

    An illustration picture shows a…

    PARIS (Reuters) - French health regulators are studying limiting the use of contraceptive pills that carry health risks and will stop reimbursing prescription costs of some types from March, after a woman sued drugmaker Bayer over alleged side-effects.

    An inquiry launched this week by the ANSM health regulator will review prescription practices by doctors, who it says may be over-prescribing higher-risk third and fourth-generation pills.

    While all oral contraceptives are associated with a risk of blood clots, a number of studies suggest the most recent third and fourth-generation pills carry a higher risk than their predecessors.

    The European Medicines Agency says the risk of an embolism, or blood clot, is twice as high for women using third and fourth-generation pills than for those using earlier versions, although it remains low. The risk of a stroke is the same.

    On Wednesday, France's health ministry said it would stop reimbursing prescription costs of third-generation pills from March 31, bringing forward a cut-off date from September 30.

    The moves comes weeks after Marion Larat, 25, sued Germany's Bayer and a French official over a stroke she suffered following use of the third-generation contraceptive pill Meliane.

    An inquiry found her use of the pill could have been responsible for her stroke, which led to partial paralysis. Larat's lawyers argue Bayer should have withdrawn its pill from the market.

    A spokeswoman for Bayer France said on Thursday: "We will assess any allegations once we have received detailed information and we will react appropriately."

    In October, Bayer said it had set aside 200 million euros in the third quarter for litigation in the United States in connection with its Yasmin/Yaz birth control pills, having already agreed to pay $750 million to settle 3,490 legal claims that Yasmin caused blood clots.

    Clots are alleged in a further 3,800 pending cases.

    U.S. health regulators in April added warnings to the labels on newer birth-control pills sold there, saying they may raise the risk of blood clots.

    France's health regulator said new-generation pills, which caught on because they reduced side effects from previous versions such as weight gain and acne, should only be prescribed by specialist doctors.

    Currently gynecologists, midwives and nurses are authorized to prescribe them or renew prescriptions.

    France, which reimburses 100 percent of prescription costs for regular birth-control pills, is under pressure to cut costs and reduce a 8.6- billion-euro deficit in its health system.

    99 cents'

    Wendy's moves past '99 cents' with new value menu

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Wendy's no longer thinks a hamburger has to be 99 cents to be a deal.

    The fast-food company known for its Frosty shakes and square burgers has replaced its 99-cent value menu with a beefed up array of options called "Right Price Right Size," with items ranging from 99 cents to $1.99. At a time when costs for meat, cheese and other ingredients are rising, the revamped menu is intended to give budget-minded diners more options, while giving Wendy's more flexibility on pricing.

    The switch to the "Right Price Right Size" value menu reflects the cost pressures facing fast-food chains. Burger King and McDonald's have already moved past the $1 price point, offering tiered value menus that go up to around $2.

    When it was introduced a decade ago, for example, McDonald's Dollar Menu included the Big 'N Tasty burger made with a quarter-pound beef patty. But the Dollar Menu has gradually gotten skimpier, with small fries being taken off the roster last year.

    To ensure the profitability of its new value menu, Wendy's tinkered with the lineup and in some cases raised prices. The Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe now costs $1.19, instead of 99 cents. And for 99 cents, customers now get four chicken nuggets, instead of five. The plain Junior Cheeseburger, which had been taken off the menu, is back at 99 cents.

    In all, there are now seven items that cost 99 cents on the new value menu, down from nine.

    Although items on value menus tend to be less profitable, they play an important role in attracting customers who often end up spending more on other items. In testing over the past year, the "Right Price Right Size" menu not only boosted customer traffic, but also increased the average check size, said Craig Bahner, chief marketing officer at The Wendy's Co.

    "It grew because those customers tend to buy multiple products," Bahner said, noting that the "vast majority" of customers who ordered off the value menu bought items from the regular menu as well.

    Wendy's isn't the only chain to tinker with its value offerings. McDonald's last year introduced its "Extra Value Menu," which offers items closer to the $2 price range. But after sales flagged, the company quickly went back to touting the Dollar Menu in advertising, noting that customers are focused on value in the uncertain economy.

    Howard Penney, a restaurant analyst for Hedgeye Risk Management, said McDonald's return to the Dollar Menu "doesn't make sense" in terms of profitability at a time when beef prices continue to climb. But he noted that Wendy's needs to emphasize value to stay competitive.

    "They have to respond. They can't just ignore it," Penney said.

    Wendy's revamped approach also reflects the twin challenges facing traditional fast-food chains, which are scrambling to improve the reputation of their food even as they cater to budget-minded diners. As the popularity of chains such as Panera Bread Co. and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. have raised expectations for food quality, traditional fast-food chains have stepped up their offerings.

    Burger King made its French fries thicker and uses a different kind of bacon on its burgers. Taco Bell — known for its cheap eats — introduced a line of Cantina Bell bowls last year intended to appeal to a slightly more upscale crowd.

    Wendy's, which is based in Dublin, Ohio, has in recent years introduced natural-cut French fries and premium offerings such as Dave's Hot 'N Juicy burger. Even as it touts its new value menu, Bahner says Wendy's won't let up on that premium front. For example, executives have said the chain will introduce new breads for its sandwiches intended to improve perceptions about its food in the year ahead.

    Still, Bahner notes that value menus have long been an important staple in the fast-food industry. And given ongoing macroeconomic trends, he said that emphasis on value will remain critical for years to come.

    but the United States said there was no evidence to support the assertion.

    Iran says captures two U.S.-made miniature surveillance drones

    DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran has captured two miniature U.S.-made surveillance drones over the past 17 months, Iranian media reported on Wednesday.

    Several drone incidents over the past year have highlighted tension in the Gulf as Iran and the United States flex their military capabilities in the vital oil exporting region in a standoff over Iran's disputed nuclear program.

    The lightweight RQ11 Raven drones were brought down by Iranian air defense units in separate incidents in August 2011 and November 2012, Rear Admiral Amir Rastegari told Fars news agency.

    "Much of the data of these drones has been decoded by the Army's jihad and research center," he said, without elaborating.

    Manufactured by AeroVironment, the RQ11 Raven has a wingspan of 1.36 meters (4.5 feet) and a range of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) and is used by the U.S. military for low-altitude surveillance.

    Iran said on December 4 that it had captured a U.S. intelligence ScanEagle drone in its air space over the Gulf in the previous few days, but the United States said there was no evidence to support the assertion.

    The U.S. Navy said had not lost any unmanned aircraft in the area. The four-foot (1.25 meter) ScanEagle surveillance drones built by Boeing Co are deployed in the region by the United States military and also by other countries.

    In November, the United States said Iranian warplanes shot at a U.S. drone flying in international air space. Iran said the aircraft had entered its air space to spy on Iranian oil platforms and said it would respond "decisively" to any incursions.

    "The circuit board we have developed can be manufactured using routine industrial processes

    Smart Baby Suit Takes Aim at Sudden Infant Deaths

    Help is on the way for parents who lie awake in bed worrying about their newborn babies sleeping in the nursery. New "smart" baby clothing could automatically track infants' breathing and alert parents in case of trouble.

    Parents won't have to directly attach sensors to their infants to achieve peace of mind. Researchers fitted a baby romper suit with a printed circuit board — made of stretchable polyurethane — and commercially available sensors to monitor the breathing in a baby's chest and stomach areas. Such work marks yet another step toward the future of "smart" or "intelligent" clothing that could monitor soldiers and babies alike.

    "The circuit board we have developed can be manufactured using routine industrial processes, meaning a high throughput and, consequently, good cost-efficiency," said Manuel Seckel, a scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM in Berlin, Germany.

    Baby suits with the added technological twist could possibly help unravel the mystery of the 4,500 infants in the United States who die suddenly from no obvious cause each year. Health researchers have already set up a database to track cases of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) to better figure out how to prevent such tragedy. (SUID refers to sudden, unexpected deaths of an infant in which the manner and cause of death are not immediately obvious before an investigation.)

    The smart baby suit fits into a broad array of ideas for so-called smart clothing that could transform ordinary shirts, gloves or even underwear into health-tracking devices. Most of today's smart clothing prototypes typically attach stiff electronic chips or parts to flexible clothing materials.

    But many labs have struggled with the next step of turning hard electronics into soft, stretchable components that work well with clothing. Several research groups have experimented with making special clothing fibers that can act as soft, flexible touch screens and batteries.

    Fraunhofer researchers took a slightly different route by using the stretchable polyurethane circuit board as a middle-man platform for placing electronic components. The positioning is more precise with the printed circuit board compared to placing electronics directly onto clothing materials, Seckel said.

    The stretchable circuit board could also help more than just babies and sleep-deprived parents. For instance, a polyurethane plaster with embedded sensors could help nurses find the right place to apply a pressure bandage to the wounds of a burn patient.

    Seasonal flu reports come from doctors' offices

    Flu? Malaria? Disease forecasters look to the sky
    Related Content
  • Enlarge Photo

    FILE - In this Friday, May 11,…

    NEW YORK (AP) — Only a 10 percent chance of showers today, but a 70 percent chance of flu next month.

    That's the kind of forecasting health scientists are trying to move toward, as they increasingly include weather data in their attempts to predict disease outbreaks.

    In one recent study, two scientists reported they could predict — more than seven weeks in advance — when flu season was going to peak in New York City. Theirs was just the latest in a growing wave of computer models that factor in rainfall, temperature or other weather conditions to forecast disease.

    Health officials are excited by this kind of work and the idea that it could be used to fine-tune vaccination campaigns or other disease prevention efforts.

    At the same time, experts note that outbreaks are influenced as much, or more, by human behavior and other factors as by the weather. Some argue weather-based outbreak predictions still have a long way to go. And when government health officials warned in early December that flu season seemed to be off to an early start, they said there was no evidence it was driven by the weather.

    This disease-forecasting concept is not new: Scientists have been working on mathematical models to predict outbreaks for decades and have long factored in the weather. They have known, for example, that temperature and rainfall affect the breeding of mosquitoes that carry malaria, West Nile virus and other dangerous diseases.

    Recent improvements in weather-tracking have helped, including satellite technology and more sophisticated computer data processing.

    As a result, "in the last five years or so, there's been quite an improvement and acceleration" in weather-focused disease modeling, said Ira Longini, a University of Florida biostatistician who's worked on outbreak prediction projects.

    Some models have been labeled successes.

    In the United States, researchers at Johns Hopkins University and the University of New Mexico tried to predict outbreaks of hantavirus in the late 1990s. They used rain and snow data and other information to study patterns of plant growth that attract rodents. People catch the disease from the droppings of infected rodents.

    "We predicted what would happen later that year," said Gregory Glass, a Johns Hopkins researcher who worked on the project.

    More recently, in east Africa, satellites have been used to predict rainfall by measuring sea-surface temperatures and cloud density. That's been used to generate "risk maps" for Rift Valley fever — a virus that spreads from animals to people and in severe cases can cause blindness or death. Researchers have said the system in some cases has given two to six weeks advance warning.

    Last year, other researchers using satellite data in east Africa said they found that a small change in average temperature was a warning sign cholera cases would double within four months.

    "We are getting very close to developing a viable forecasting system" against cholera that can help health officials in African countries ramp up emergency vaccinations and other efforts, said a statement by one of the authors, Rita Reyburn of the International Vaccine Institute in Seoul, South Korea.

    Some diseases are hard to forecast, such as West Nile virus. Last year, the U.S. suffered one of its worst years since the virus arrived in 1999. There were more than 2,600 serious illnesses and nearly 240 deaths.

    Officials said the mild winter, early spring and very hot summer helped spur mosquito breeding and the spread of the virus. But the danger wasn't spread uniformly. In Texas, the Dallas area was particularly hard-hit, while other places, including some with similar weather patterns and the same type of mosquitoes, were not as affected.

    "Why Dallas, and not areas with similar ecological conditions? We don't really know," said Roger Nasci of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He is chief of the CDC branch that tracks insect-borne viruses.

    Some think flu lends itself to outbreak forecasting — there's already a predictability to the annual winter flu season. But that's been tricky, too.

    Seasonal flu reports come from doctors' offices, but those show the disease when it's already spreading. Some researchers have studied tweets on Twitter and searches on Google, but their work has offered a jump of only a week or two on traditional methods.

    In the study of New York City flu cases published last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the authors said they could forecast, by up to seven weeks, the peak of flu season.

    They designed a model based on weather and flu data from past years, 2003-09. In part, their design was based on earlier studies that found flu virus spreads better when the air is dry and turns colder. They made calculations based on humidity readings and on Google Flu Trends, which tracks how many people are searching each day for information on flu-related topics (often because they're beginning to feel ill).

    Using that model, they hope to try real-time predictions as early as next year, said Jeffrey Shaman of Columbia University, who led the work.

    "It's certainly exciting," said Lyn Finelli, the CDC's flu surveillance chief. She said the CDC supports Shaman's work, but agency officials are eager to see follow-up studies showing the model can predict flu trends in places different from New York, like Miami.

    Despite the optimism by some, Dr. Edward Ryan, a Harvard University professor of immunology and infectious diseases, is cautious about weather-based prediction models. "I'm not sure any of them are ready for prime time," he said.

    NJ gov: House inaction on Sandy aid 'inexcusable'

    NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie blasted U.S. House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday for delaying a vote on federal Superstorm Sandy relief, calling the speaker's action "inexcusable."

    "We respond to natural disasters not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans ... at least we did until last night," Christie said at a State House news conference. Both Christie and Boehner are Republicans.

    Christie said he spent Monday and Tuesday on the phone with members of the House across the country — including many for whom he campaigned last year — pressing for their support for the $60 billion bill. He said he believed the measure would have passed had a vote been allowed.

    The Republican governor said the House was playing politics with the aid and that it's hurting people in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut who are relying on aid decisions to be able to repair their homes, reopen businesses and make decisions about how to rebuild after the storm of two months ago.

    He pointed out it's been two months since the Oct. 29 storm came ashore in New Jersey. After other hurricanes, Congress voted on aid packages within a month.

    Christie, one of the nation's highest-profile Republicans, praised other congressional leaders and New Jersey's delegation and hinted that Boehner's decision Tuesday might lead Christie to campaign against some members of his party who also acted to delay a vote on the aid. "Primaries are an ugly thing," he said.

    Other New Jersey officials also said Boehner's decision hurt the region.

    U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat, said he was prepared to do all he can to make sure a package passes.

    "As we say in Jersey, take the gloves off," Pascrell said. "This is a Jersey fight."

    He suggested the governors of the storm-damaged states sue Congress for the money.

    "I would advise the governors to put their heads together and sue us," the congressman said. "If this isn't prejudicial, I don't know what is."

    Democratic Assemblyman John Wisniewski of Sayreville, whose district sustained storm damage, said Republican Boehner's decision not to bring a storm relief bill to a vote was "a complete abdication of his responsibility as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives."

    And on the House floor, New Jersey's Republican Rep. Frank LoBiondo said that every day that goes by compounds problems for storm survivors. He said Democrats and Republicans worked hard to put a package together and the measure had enough support to pass.

    "This isn't about people getting a sun tan. This is about jobs and the economy, a $40 million tourist business that relies on the summer season," LoBiondo said.

    14-year-old Ellery and 11-year-old Riley. There are

    Storm returns to TV 3 weeks after grill accident

    …

    With a wave of her bandaged left hand, and boosted by well wishes from Dr. Phil, Chris Evert and even a young woman she once babysat, Hannah Storm returned to a most comfortable setting — talking in front of a TV camera.

    The ESPN anchor hosted the Rose Parade telecast Tuesday in her first on-air appearance since sustaining first- and second-degree burns to her face, hands, chest and neck in a propane gas grill accident Dec. 11.

    "I was just so happy to be there, so grateful," she said by phone from Pasadena, Calif. "It took a lot out of me, but it went great."

    Storm lost roughly half her hair in the accident outside her home in Connecticut. She wore extensions for the two-hour show on ABC. Storm's eyebrows and eyelashes also were burned off. When a makeup artist brushed on her first eyebrow, "I wanted to kiss her, it looked so good," she said.

    This was the fifth time Storm served as TV host for the Rose Parade. She said working alongside her former "SportsCenter" co-anchor, "Good Morning America" host Josh Elliott, eased her way.

    She said it was to her benefit that she could ad-lib through the show. She's left-handed, and the burns and an infection make it hard to turn pages on a script or take notes.

    "I could be myself today, just talking and reacting to what I saw," she said. "It was a very familiar place."

    She was warmed, too, by having her three daughters with her in California — 15-year-old Hannah, 14-year-old Ellery and 11-year-old Riley. There are, incidentally, four generations of Hannahs in the family, with Storm's mother and grandmother also sharing that first name.

    "It was good that the girls got to see mommy doing what she usually does. Being on TV, being on the set, that brings a sense of normalcy," she said.

    Storm cautioned that her return to the air just three weeks after being injured was far from normal. The fiery explosion left flame marks on her neck, and doctors have told her to keep the most seriously burned areas out of direct sunlight for six months. Dressing and showering are still difficult, too.

    "This hair wasn't real, these eyebrows weren't real," she said. "It's important to remember burns take a long time to heal."

    During the telecast, she thanked everyone from the Trauma and Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center who treated her. Her husband, NBC sportscaster Dan Hicks, rearranged his schedule to stay home during her recovery.

    Storm has received bunches of calls, texts, emails, tweets and other supportive messages. Tennis star Mardy Fish, ESPN colleagues Dick Vitale and John Kruk, and the Rev. John Jenkins, president of her alma mater Notre Dame, were among those reaching out to the popular broadcaster and producer.

    Storm will wait to see when she rejoins "SportsCenter" in Bristol, Conn. She hoped to anchor Sunday, but wants to see how she feels this week.

    In the meantime, Storm plans to turn her ordeal into an opportunity to talk about how to safely operate propane gas grills.

    Storm was injured when she tried to re-ignite the grill after the flame had gone out. She shut off the gas and when she turned it back on "there was an explosion and this wall of fire came at me in an instant."

    Storm said two people she worked with Tuesday said they'd been burned in similar accidents.

    "A lot of people are afraid of grills," she said. "I think this will be a good chance to talk about safety."
