Cluster Bomb Interview from Press Tv in Iran

Cluster bombs at a glance
By The Associated Press -- 1 day ago

WHAT IS A CLUSTER BOMB?: Fired by artillery or dropped by aircraft, cluster bombs are canisters that open in flight and eject dozens or hundreds of "bomblets" across a wide area, typically the size of one or two football fields. Bomblets are small metallic spheres or cylinders that can be as small as a flashlight battery, with about the same force as a hand grenade. The weapon is designed to slow or halt an enemy army by destroying or disabling troops and vehicles over a wide area in a single attack.

___

DANGERS: An exploding bomblet sends jagged shrapnel through the air much like grenades and mines. It can kill or maim someone within 10 to 50 yards. Bomblets can be set to explode above ground or on the ground with a time delay. Usually they are set to detonate on impact, but 5 percent to 25 percent typically fail to explode, essentially creating minefields wherever they land. The unexploded "duds" are volatile and can detonate if disturbed.

2008-06-14T09:33:35Z

Mar. 7 - An exclusive look inside one of America's largest gold mines as the price of the precious metal climbs toward $1,000 an ounce. Northeastern Nevada is home to the the most abundant gold field in the Western Hemisphere. Soaring gold prices have been a boom to the mining industry but those high prices are not necessarily translating into record profits. Ruben Ramirez reports from Carlin, Nevada.

Authors@Google: David Kaplan

2008-06-05T21:31:43Z

The Authors@Google program was happy to welcome David Kaplan to speak about his new book "Mine's Bigger: Tom Perkins and the Making of the Greatest Sailing Machine Ever Built"

David A Kaplan is a Senior Editor Newsweek and the author of "The Silicon Boys" and "The Accidental President" (the latter is the basis for an upcoming HBO movie, "Recount," the story of Florida in 2000).

With his new book "Mine's Bigger", David gives us the behind the scenes story of the boat and the man behind the dream. With Tom Perkins' cooperation--and with David aboard the great yacht for its maiden voyage across the Mediterranean--David tells the story of the engineer who attacked the project in the same way he made his professional fortune using incredible vision for never-before-seen technologies and strategies to reduce risk combined with ambition and boldness needed to create something new. Even if you don't know anything about sailing, you'll want to hear about this $130 million wonder that represents the most daring advance in sailing technology in 150 years.
