*Breaking: **U.N. Security Council votes to approve Libyan no-fly
zone; military strikes expected*
<http://www.marketwatch.com/story/un-backs-no-fly-zone-strikes-in-libya-2011-03-17>17
Mar 2011 The United Nations Security Council voted 10 to 0 supporting
the use of "all necessary measures" including the use of a no-fly zone
to protect civilians and rebel forces in Libya from forces loyal to
Col. Moammar Gadhafi. Russia and China, which held veto powers,
abstained from the vote, along with three other council members. The
passing of the measure is expected to lead to U.N.-backed military
strikes in Libya within hours, according to media reports.
*Britain, France and US prepare for Libya air strikes*
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/17/libya-no-fly-zone-united-nations>17
Mar 2011 British, French and US military aircraft are preparing to
defend the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi after Washington said
it was ready to support a no-fly zone and air strikes against Muammar
Gaddafi's forces. Jets could take off from French military bases if a
no-fly zone is approved [it was] in a fresh United Nations security
council resolution authorising "all necessary measures short of an
occupation force" to protect civilians. France, which has led the
calls for a no-fly zone along with Britain, has offered the use of
military bases on its Mediterranean coast about 750 miles from the
Libyan coast.
*UK forces 'could be in action by Friday'*
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12770467>17 Mar 2011 UK forces
could be in action over Libya as early as Friday, after the UN backed
a no-fly zone and "all necessary measures" to protect [?!?] civilians.
A senior UK government source has told the BBC action could take
longer, but would be within days of the vote. The resolution rules out
a foreign occupation force in any part of Libya. Foreign Secretary
William Hague said the UK would "now respond" to the responsibility it
placed on UN members.

*UNSC orders no-fly zone over Libya*
<http://www.presstv.ir/detail/170484.html>17 Mar 2011 The United
Nations Security Council has passed a resolution ordering a no-fly
zone over Libya, while suspending the country from the Human Rights
Council. Resolution 1970 authorizes a no-fly zone over Libya and to
allow "all necessary measures" to be taken "to protect civilians and
civilian populated areas under threat of attack in (Libya), including
Benghazi, while excluding an occupation force," Reuters reported on
Thursday. It allows for airstrikes to halt Gaddafi's offensive against
the revolutionary forces in Libya.

*In Reversal, US Backs Libya No-Fly Zone*
<http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/17/in-reversal-us-backs-libya-no-fly-zone/>17
Mar 2011 Supporters of a no-fly zone over Libya called for a vote
Thursday on a U.N. resolution aimed at preventing Moammar Gadhafi's
planes from carrying out aerial attacks, while the United States, in a
striking reversal, pushed for broader action to 'protect civilians'
from ground and sea attacks as well. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said
the Obama administration is "fully focused on the urgency and the
gravity of the situation on the ground," where Gadhafi's fighters are
intensifying attacks and heading toward rebel-held Bengazi, Libya's
second-largest city, and is working "very hard" for a vote on Thursday.
*Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media*
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks>*--Military's
'sock puppet' software creates fake online identities to spread
pro-American propaganda --The project has been likened by web experts
to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the
internet*. 17 Mar 2011 The US military is developing software that
will let it secretly manipulate social media sites such as Facebook
and Twitter by using fake online personas to influence internet
conversations and spread pro-American propaganda. A Californian
corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central
Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle
East and Central Asia, to develop what is described as an "online
persona management service" that will allow one US serviceman or woman
to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world.
*Radiation detected at Chicago and Dallas airports as U.S. citizens
are evacuated from Japan*
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1367332/Theyre-bringing-home-Radiation-detected-Chicago-Dallas-airports-U-S-citizens-evacuated-Japan.html>* --UN
predicts nuclear plume could hit U.S. by FRIDAY --Obama finally falls
in line with the rest of the world and starts evacuating American
citizens from Japan --French minister: 'Let's not beat about the bush,
they've essentially lost control' --Cooling pool for spent fuel rods
has 'boiled dry at reactor number four' --Japanese have 48 hours to
avoid 'another Chernobyl' --Experts warn that crisis is 'approaching
point of no return' as officials run out of options* 17 Mar 2011
Radiation from Japan was detected in Chicago and Dallas today as U.S.
citizens fleeing a potential nuclear disaster arrived back on American
soil. Travellers landing at Chicago's O'Hare airport and Dallas
Fort-Worth airport are said to have tested positive for minute amounts
of radiation.
*'Please continue to live well': Fukushima Fifty 'on suicide mission'
to battle N-plant meltdown send haunting messages to families... as
radioactive steam pours from wrecked reactor*
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1367125/Japan-tsunami-Fukushima-Fifty-suicide-mission-battle-nuclear-meltdown.html>*--Nuclear
workers accept their fate 'like a death sentence' --Fears for their
health as one expert says it is 'perhaps a suicide mission'
--Radiation levels rise in Japan as crisis continues --Radioactive
plume to hit US west coast tomorrow* --17,000 British nationals could
be evacuated as last-ditch efforts are made to stop nuclear
catastrophe 17 Mar 2011 Japan was today rallying behind the anonymous
nuclear emergency workers at the stricken Fukushima power plant - as
heartbreaking details of their plight emerged. The 180 workers face
soaring radiation levels as they make ever more desperate attempts to
stop over-heating reactors and spent fuel rods leaking more radiation
into the atmosphere.
*Fear of radiation sickness near Fukushima plant*
<http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2014516967_quakeradiation16.html>16
Mar 2011 Concerns about radiation sickness in Japan are focused on the
area within 20 miles of the quake-struck Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
complex. If the worst happens -- a full core meltdown and a large
release of radiation -- people living within hundreds of miles of the
plant could have a somewhat higher risk of developing cancer in coming
decades. Experts say the risks depend on how much radiation is
released, how much people are exposed to and over how long a period,
and how the winds blow.
*Radiation Plume Headed to California From Japan*
<http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Radiation-Plume-Headed-To-California-From-Japan-118164259.html>17
Mar 2011 The United Nations is forecasting a possible radioactive
plume coming across the Pacific Ocean and arriving in California
<http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/16/science/plume-graphic.html>Friday,
according to the New York Times
<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/science/17plume.html>. While health
and nuclear experts say the plume will dilute as it moves east, there
will be hints of radiation. The island of Japan is more than 5,000
away from the California coastline.
*Obama says does not expect harmful radiation to reach U.S.*
<http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-03/18/c_13784600.htm>18
Mar 2011 U.S. President Barack Obama said on Thursday that he does not
expect harmful radiation sparked by the crippled Japanese nuclear
plant will reach the U.S., including its West Coast and Hawaii. "We do
not expect harmful levels of radiation to reach the United States,
whether it's the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska or U.S. territories in the
Pacific," he said in a prepared speech at the White House. Obama said
right now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and public
health experts do not recommend that people in the United States take
precautionary measures beyond staying informed.
*U.S. radiation experts try to decipher reports from Japan*
<http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2011-03-17-japanradiate17_ST_N.htm>17
Mar 2011 The Japanese government's radiation report for the country's
47 prefectures Wednesday had a notable omission: Fukushima, ground
zero in Japan's nuclear crisis. Measurements from Ibaraki, just south
of Fukushima, were also blanked out. Radiation experts in the USA say
that the lack of information about radioactivity released from the
smoldering reactors makes it impossible to gauge the current danger,
project how bad a potential meltdown might be or calculate how much
fallout might reach the USA.
*Japanese power companies hid nuclear safety problems: WikiLeaks*
<http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/955468--japanese-power-companies-hid-nuclear-safety-problems-wikileaks>17
Mar 2011 Eighteen months before Japan’s radiation crisis, U.S.
diplomats had lambasted the safety chief of the world's atomic
watchdog for incompetence, especially when it came to the nuclear
power industry in his homeland, Japan. Cables sent from the U.S.
embassy in Vienna to Washington, which were obtained by WikiLeaks and
reviewed by Reuters, singled out Tomihiro Taniuchi, until last year
head of safety and security at the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA).
*House votes to permanently bar NPR from receiving federal funds*
<http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-house-npr-funding-20110318,0,6661745.story>17
Mar 2011 In a mostly party-line vote, the House of Representatives
passed legislation Thursday that would permanently bar NPR from
receiving federal funds, the latest escalation in conservatives'
campaign against the broadcaster. Republicans already voted to
eliminate all federal support for the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting for the current fiscal year, which helps public stations
buy NPR programming, but the provision was not incorporated into the
continuing agreements that have kept the government funded. The latest
vote was 228 to 192, with one lawmaker voting "present."
