Kalau tidak salah ingat sih sudah pada bagian pertandingan antara Chameleon vs Poseidon, kira-kira lebih dari sebulan waktu tayang normal untuk dapat sampai lagi di episode itu. Ada apa sebenarnya, hingga anime EyeShield21 harus ditayangkan kembali dari episode awal?

The continent of Antarctica is warming up in step with the rest of the world, according to a new analysis. Scientists say data from satellites and weather stations indicate a warming of about 0.6 C over the last 50 years. Writing in the journal Nature, they say the trend is “difficult to explain” without the effect of rising greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, scientists in Antarctica say a major ice shelf is about to break away from the continent.  The Wilkins Ice Shelf is said to be “hanging by a thread” from the Antarctic Peninsula, the strip of land pointing from the white continent towards the southern tip of South America.

Barack Obama is beginning his first working day as president of the United States by meeting his economic advisers and top military commanders.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said he wants Israeli troops to leave Gaza “as quickly as possible” after Israel’s three-week offensive. Troops began pulling out after Israel said it had met its war aims and declared a unilateral ceasefire. Hamas later declared its own truce with one of its leaders claiming a “great victory” over Israel. As Gaza enjoyed a second quiet night, local sources said the conflict had left 4,000 buildings destroyed. A further 20,000 buildings were severely damaged, Gaza municipal officials said after an initial count.

Correspondents say the ceasefire in Gaza remains fragile.
