Darbelet : "Cette médaille efface les défaites"
Darbelet said,"Je n'ai pas envie de parler des problèmes." or "I don't want to tell about the trouble." in English.
Japan's Masato Uchishiba wins 2nd straight gold in 66-kg division at Beijing Olympics
After having been carried off his left heel by the opponets'right hand, Uchishiba fell flat on his back with Darbelet's neck in his left arm, but the referee missed it and made a big mistake??
In the following thread this issue is hotly debated:

Allow me to share some thoughts from my perspective as an IJF Continental Referee: At around the 2:07 mark of the video, I believe Uchishiba should have gotten a penalty for a false attack-what seemed like an attemp at ippon seoinage which turned into an “inducing to newaza” situation. At the 2:30 mark, Darbelet executes an ouchigari and both competitors are on their feet; it should have been awarded an ippon, and the victory should have gone to Darbelet. In fairness to the referee and judges, the action was so fast it would have been difficult to detect at the exact instant it occurred. Nevertheless, I’m of the opinion Darbelet scored before Uchishiba did."

Uchishiba was the most tecnical player. But it was Darbelets ippon. You can see that Ben lift up Uchishibas left leg and throw him with a left o-ochi-gari"

Water-fuel car unveiled in Japan
Water-fuel car unveiled in Japan
According to Genepax's site,
What is called water energy system, "extracting power current directly from water", or creating electricity and heat out of water, needs no reformer nor high-pressure tank, unlike hydrogen-fuel cells.
Electric cars with the WES equipment need neither battery nor plug-in, emit no carbon dioxide, and can be used as mobile generators in a time of disaster.

Solar Power Satellite;Microgeneration;OM Solar
Solar Power Station in Space
Tiny Country Offers to Be Space Solar Power Satellite Testbed
Japanese and other scientists are also beginning in earnest to launch the Solar Power Satellite on a private level, according to "Wireless Power Transmission for Solar Power Satellite (SPS) ".
Solar Power Farm
World's biggest solar farm at centre of Portugal's ambitious energy plan
Portugal is really eying Japan as a rival?
Higher energy prices bring hope to Japan's coal country
The government is clinging to fossil electric power generation.
Most elite bureaucrats, who are apt to do nothing new merely because of a lack of precedent, are looking for easy ways out anywhere indeed, but it is time to end dependence on fossil fuels including coal. By global intuition, Heat and power plants and Deep-sea carbon storage are generally seen as band-aid solutions.
Tough questions for Japan ahead of G8 summit
The article points out the Japanese government has given in to domestic power companies, disturbing the home market development of solar panels. Thanks to this, solar powered houses seem to have become the symbol of well-off people. It is so absurd, just like it failed to get rid of the cigarette-vending machines, coming up with TASPO, the age-verification IC card system. As might have been expected, underage young people reportedly abused their foolish parents' cards to buy cigarettes.
Microgeneration could rival nuclear power, report show
Greener power to the people: the real energy alternative?
Microgeneration is what is called the rooftop revolution as explained in the site Ecology for Life.

Apart from the private sector, Japan's government is criticised for taking a negative stance toward utilization of alternative and renewable energy sources.

Hydrogen Car
Hollywood stars hyping hydrogen cars
I didn't know the new technology is employed on the space shuttle. Honda has begun with planning to help celebrities experience the invention.
Toyota drive to plug in to better batteries
Longer-distance and cleaner driving than regular hybrids!
Such plug-in hybrids can run longer as an electric vehicle than regular hybrids, and are cleaner.
"Without focusing on measures to address global warming and energy issues, there can be no future for our auto business," Toyota president Katsuaki Watanabe said.
In addition to the new hybrids, Toyota is working on fuel-cell cars which are environmentally friendly and do not generate any harmful emissions because fuel cells have no emissions and do not contribute to global warming or air pollution.
Incidentally,
I cannot stand particularly three-wheelers for pizza, lactobacillary milk, and candy sampler deliveries, which are emitting much more smothery exhaust fumes in the residential blocks than the small motor vehicles.
Exhaust gases can be seen as a cause of cancer.
Door-to-door pizza or fume?
In New Zealand electric scooters are popular.

Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage
The cost of cleaning up fossil fuels - and the price of doing nothing
Carbon capture technologies
Japan also seems to be paying much more attention to CCS:
Japan’s Strategy for Mitigating Global Warming
CCS in Japan
However, any pilot plant not reported yet.
In addition, in my eyes, environmental problems are being taken less seriously among most of the local public in large cities there. They are less concerned about how pollution-triggered coal-fired generators are in the neighboring regions than ever.
I'm feeling acutely we have to make every effort to protect the immediate natural environment.
Kobe Steel reports findings on air emission problems
I sometimes see heavy mass of clouds beginning from the smoke from the giant chimney of the plant improper to the urban area. I think it might not be cloudy without it, although most people are walking as if they thought it were no different from any other day.

climate-change profiteering or not?
Biotech giants demand a high price for saving the planet
In any case, the interests of the profit-oriented developers should be guarded through patents?
Ocean Crisis
We can also see serious situations in the oceans.
The man-made destruction of seas should be not encouraged.
The world's rubbish dump: a garbage tip that stretches from Hawaii to Japan
The leaders are asked to take any measures to preserve the fishery resources from over fishing around the world.
Ecocide in the Oceans
Cod still in crisis despite fisheries reform, says WWF
The oceans are functioning more poorly as natural sinks of CO2 absorption amid adverse effects of climate change. The food chain is being obliterated.
Oxygen-poor ocean zones are growing
Earth's carbon dioxide, methane soars
Acidic seas may kill 98% of world's reefs by 2050
Antarctic marine life threatened by crab invasion
Snail loss catastrophic for food chain
Climate threat to human health

Microgeneration Could Replace Nuclear Power?
Greener power to the people: the real energy alternative?
Microgeneration could rival nuclear power, report shows
Microgeneration is the production of low or zero carbon heat or power by individual households, businesses or communities, according to this.
It is feasible because Portugal might end up working on the project.

Playing the Iraq Oil Card
The writer, a former CIA agent uses the expression of "Peak Oil Casandra".
It seems to me that the Middle East specialist doesn't totally deny the peak oil theory.
The writer indicates precisely the opposite interpretation of the present situation. If it is true, the pending green issues could be worse.
Regarding this,
