Americans, he said, wanted to hear him own up to his misdeeds and acknowle

Obama puts Syria strike on hold, opposition 'disappointed'
Syria's opposition expressed disappointment Sunday that President Barack Obama had put on hold military action against the Damascus regime, but said it was confident US lawmakers would green-light a strike.

This effectively pushed military action back until at least September 9, when US lawmakers retur

10대그룹 상장사 상반기 '마이너스 성장'
삼성과 LG, 롯데그룹을 제외한 10대그룹 상장사들이 올해 상반기 '마이너스 성장'을 했다. 작년 상반기에는 삼성전자와 현대차를 필두로 한 '전차(電車) 군단'이 10대그룹의 실적 성장을 이끌었지만 올해는 엔저 여파로 자동차가 주춤해 I T 홀로 분투했다.◇ 삼성그룹 '독주'…10대 그룹 영업이익의 50% 차지1일 한국상장사협의회와 에프앤가이드에 따르면 10대 그룹 상장사의 별도 재무제표 기준 상반기 영업이익은 24조3천542억 원으로 작년 같은 기간의 25조3천969억 원보다 4.11% 감소했다. 순이익은 21조5천599억 원으로 작년 상반기보다 9.31% 줄어 감소폭이 더 컸다. 이는 3월 결산법인이었다가 올해부터 12월 결산으로 바뀐 금융계열사 실적을 제외한 수치다. 10대 그룹 상장사 중 상반기 영업이익이 작년보다 늘어난 곳은 26곳에 불과했다.40곳은 영업이익이 줄었고 13곳은 적자를 냈다. 올해 상반기에도 삼성그룹의 '독주'와 철강•조선•화학이 주력 업종인 그룹사의 부진

우리나라 해양 수온 상승↑…세계 평균의 3배
우리나라의 바닷물 온도 상승 속도가 세계 평균 보다 3배 이상 빠른 것으로 나타났다.국회 농림축산식품해양수산위원회 김춘진 의원은 해양수산부로부터 제출 받은 해 양수온 변화 자료를 분석한 결과 이같이 조사됐다고 1일 밝혔다.국립수산과학원은 1968년부터 연근해 207개소에서 정선해양관측(정해진 해양관 측망의 범위 내에서 해양상태 조사를 목적으로 하는 관측)을 실시한 결과 2010년까지 43년간 우리나라 주변 해양의 표층수온은 1.29도 상승했다.같은 기간 세계 표층수온은 0.40도 상승에 그친 점을 감안하면 우리 연근해 해수온도는 세계 평균의 3배가 넘는 셈이다. 수온상승 등 기후변화로 우리 바다의 어획량, 어종 분포, 어종의 생태학적 변동이 나타났다.특히 연근해 어장에서는 해수온 변화로 명태•도루묵 등 냉수성 어종의 생산량이 줄고, 오징어•멸치•참다랑어 등 난류성 어종의 생산이 증가하는 등 어업환경이 심각한 변화를 맞고 있다. 또 2000년 이후 우리 연근해에서는 폭염으로 보름달
