- Spiders' webs prompt Mazda recall
Yellow sac spiders' webs in fuel tank vents could lead to fires, Japanese car maker warnsJapanese car maker Mazda is recalling more than 50,000 Mazda6 cars in the US after discovering spiders' webs in the vents.A further 15,000 vehicles from 2009-10 models of the Mazda6, which the company has marketed with its 'Zoom-zoom' advertising campaign, will be recalled in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.The company said a spider could weave a web in a vent connected to the fuel tank system and clog up the tank's ventilation. Pressure on the fuel tank could lead to a crack, causing fuel leakage and the risk of a fire.Mazda said it was unaware of any fires, injuries or crashes in the vehicles, butspokesman Jeremy Barnes said dealers had identified 20 cases in which spiders' webs were found in the vents. The webs were linked to yellow sac spiders, Barnes said, but it was unclear why they were crawling into the Mazda6 rather than other vehicles.The recall involves vehicles with 2.5-litre engines built between April 2008 and February 2010.Owners will be notified by mid-March and advised to take their vehicles to dealers for inspection and repairs. Dealers will inspect and clean up the vent line and install a spring to prevent a spider from entering.MotoringUnited StatesCanadaMexicoPuerto Ricoguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Space: An experiment in orbit | Editorial
The International Space Station may have cost us the earth, but it can give us the universeIt is the laboratory with the world's highest overheads. Its capital costs are indeed astronomical. But this month America's International Space Station becomes truly international. An unmanned Russian Progress space truck and a Japanese vehicle called Kounotori, or White Stork, are already plugged into the space station: they came to deliver groceries and fuel; they will remain as temporary accommodation; and they will depart as garbage disposal units. They will be joined next week by a European Space Agency robot delivery van called Johannes Kepler, with more than seven tonnes of propellant, supplies and oxygen. Later in February, the space shuttle Discovery and its astronauts will join the party on what will be its last mission. In April, the shuttle Endeavour will deliver the last hardware, then also retire. Atlantis, the remaining shuttle, stands by for a final mission in June.Thereafter all fuel, food, water, oxygen, household supplies, experimental apparatus and spare parts will be delivered by the other partners, not by Nasa. When the station's lavatories need to be emptied, Moscow, Paris or Tokyo will take care of it. If the station needs to be moved out of danger, then a European or a Russian tractor will do the heavy lifting. If the people on the ISS need to get home, they must board a Russian Soyuz lifeboat. Each shuttle launch costs Nasa $500m. It can no longer afford to run the fleet and will rely on private enterprise to design, test and fly reusable vehicles between Earth and the ISS. It has contracts with two space entrepreneurs, but neither is yet ready to deliver goods or people to a moving target more than 200 miles overhead.The planet's only living, breathing 国際宇宙ステーションは私たちに地球を要するかもしれないが、それが我々にuniverseItを与えることができる世界最高レベルのオーバーヘッドの研究室です
- Gunmen mount bomb attack on Iraq's largest oil refinery
Beiji refinery is among two to be shut down on the same day after fire at smaller refinery in Iraq's southGunmen attacked Iraq's largest oil refinery before dawn, killing a guard and detonating bombs that sparked a fire and forced the facility to halt operations, officials said.A few hours later, a small refinery in the south shut down after a technical failure sparked a fire in a storage unit, an official said.If not fixed swiftly, the two shutdowns could translate into long lines at fuel stations and longer electricity outages. The dearth of reliable electricity – some Iraqis get just a few hours a day – was one of the leading complaints of protesters during violent anti-government demonstrations across Iraq yesterday.The attack on Iraq's largest refinery, Beiji, began at about 3.30am. Assailants carrying pistols fitted with silencers attacked guards and planted bombs near some production units for benzene and kerosene, said the spokesman for Salahuddin province, Mohammed al-Asi. One guard was killed and another wounded, al-Asi said.Iraqi oil ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said an investigation would be launched and that he hoped operations could resume shortly.The Beiji refinery, located about 155 miles (250km) north of Baghdad, has two sections. The attackers targeted the installation's North Refinery, which handles 150,000 barrels a day. The second section, the Salahuddin Refinery, is under renovation. It used to process 70,000 barrels per day.At the height of the insurgency from 2004 to late 2007, the Beiji refinery was under control of Sunni militants who used to siphon off crude and petroleum products to finance their operations.Hours after the Beiji facility was attacked, a small refinery in Samawa, a city on the Euphrates River about 230 miles (370km) south-ea Beiji製油所は、2つは、イラクのsouthGunmenはガードを殺害し、火災を引き起こしたと操作を停止する機能を強制的に爆弾を爆発させる、夜明け前のイラク最大の石油精製所を攻撃したが小さい製油所火災の後、同じ日にシャットダウンする間にある関係者は語った
