Mubarak may be executed...

       "Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak could be executed if he is convicted of ordering the killing of protesters", Egypt's justice minister says. "One of the charges he is facing is complicity in the killing of martyrs and issuing the orders for premeditated the killing of those people," said Justice Minister Mohamed Abdelaziz al-Juindy. "This is a charge with a harsh punishment -- the death penalty."


      "A judge may have mercy if there is a reason for that, but I don't think in this case there is any argument for clemency whatsoever," the minister added, calling it "a horrible crime, to kill 800 citizens who were asking for their rights and hoping to topple a corrupt regime that caused the ruin of Egypt."


Mubarak resigned in the face of popular protests in February after more than 30 years in power. which probably led him to get angry and kill them.

Radiation lowered for the sea of Japan

        Radioactive iodine levels in the seawater around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has lowered immensely. The workers plugged a water leak believed to be from its damaged reactor, the plant's owner said Wednesday night.

"Stopping the flow of highly radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean was a key victory for workers who have struggled to keep the earthquake-damaged plant's reactors from overheating for nearly four weeks". 

The iodine-131 levels got to be as high as 7.5 million times legal standards in water directly behind the plant after the leak was discovered Saturday. They had lowered the levels to less than 4 percent of that amount in the 24 hours before the leak had been cut off Wednesday morning, according to figures released by Tokyo Electric.

Yet the top Japanese officials warned the fight was far from over.

A destructive tsunami is not expected, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. In advice to government agencies, the center said the quake "is located too far inland and too deep inside the earth to generate a tsunami in the Indian Ocean."
