US Department of Transport announces restrictions for Li-Ion batteries

The US Department of Transportation has announced new safety rules relating to the storage of rechargeable Lithium batteries when flying to, from and within the USA. The new restrictions, effective from January 1st 2008, dictate that loose Lithium cells may not be packed in checked baggage under any circumstances - batteries installed in equipment are unaffected. Carry-on baggage may contain up to two loose batteries but only if there is no possibility of short-circuit, containing them individually within simple plastic bags or their original packaging is sufficient to prevent this and will satisfy inspectors. Click through for the DOT press release.

A young boy, wearing a bear fur, watches New Year ritual dances …

photo(AP) - A young boy, wearing a bear fur, watches New Year ritual dances in Comanesti, 300 kilometers north of Bucharest, Romania, Sunday Dec. 30, 2007. In pre-Christian rural traditions, dancers wearing colored costumes or animal furs, toured from house to house in villages singing and dancing to ward off evil. With the average income in Romania, which joined the European Union in 2007, at around 200 euros ($US 295) a month and much lower in rural areas, the tradition has moved to Romania’s cities where dancers travel to perform the ritual for money.
