Lake Erie Frozen over; First Time in 14 Years Updated: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 2:39 PM
(五大湖の中の)エリー湖が、14年ぶりにほぼ全面氷結
Following a cold snap in the Northeast, Lake Erie's surface is virtually frozen over for the first time in about 14
years. The ice ranges in thickness between paper thin along the northern shore and several inches along the
southern shore, where many people are ice skating. GoErie.com reports that the lake hasn't completely frozen
since the winter of 1995-1996.

Anglo-Saxon media out to sink us, says Spain
Spain's intelligence services are investigating the role of British and American media in fomenting financial turmoil
guardian.co.uk, Sunday 14 February 2010 22.16 GMT
スペインの諜報機関は、アングロサクソン・メディアがスペインを経済的に滅ぼすべく行動していると非難
英・ガーディアン、14日
The report follows claims from prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's socialist government that
speculators and newspaper editorial writers had launched a concerted attack.
The Financial Times has been especially critical of the government's handling of the Spanish economy in recent
weeks. It has been joined by the Economist and other publications which have questioned Zapatero's economic
management.
The newspaper said its report was based on "various sources" but said CNI sources declined to comment.
Officials at the defence ministry, which runs the CNI, and Zapatero's Moncloa Palace offices were unable to
confirm or deny the report.
Public works minister Jose Blanco, who is deputy leader of the Socialist party, has already said "somewhat murky
manoeuvres" were behind market pressures on Spain. "Nothing that is happening, including the apocalyptic
editorials in foreign media, is just chance. It happens because it's in the interest of certain individuals," he said
recently.

ところがあり、「外国メディアの終末論的な社説とか、そういうものが影響している」という。さらに、
"Now that we are coming out of the crisis, they do not want the markets to be regulated so they can go back to
their old practices," he added.
「今や我々は危機を脱したので彼等はマーケットが規制されることを望まず、昔ながらのやり方を続けられるように望
んでいる」とのべた。
