If we get Mike Wallace, I can see Miami vs. Pittsburgh as a Monday Night.
We will get a Thursday night game, well because everyone does.
Games I could see on Sunday or Monday night would be.
Miami vs Indy: Luck vs Tanny
Miami vs Steelers: If Wallace is signed
Miami vs Pats: Division Game
When I die I want to hire the Miami Dolphin's to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.
Thursday Night is hardly a prime time game.. It's played in NFL Network only, the NFL does this for they can bring viewers to their channel/get people to buy the cable package to see their team's play. It's ridiculous. Keep it on a real national televised channel, not NFL Network..
I'll guess we'll get one Thursday night and one Monday night. The team has a whisper of up and coming right now so that should equate to a Monday night slot, maybe early season.
Nessler provides more class to the Thursday night games than they've ever enjoyed in the booth, but I still don't understand why they count in the standings. Everything feels cheap and contrived, like an NFL Network game show.
I hate TNF. The Cee-lo green intro is the worst thing I've ever seen. Question for those in the know, does this come out before FA or after? I think we would definitely get atleast 1 game or 1 more game then we would with our current roster if we make the big moves we all hope we do this offseason
i hope not i like all noon sunday games.

Amphibians are all but gone, bequeathing us lessons that must not be squandered
Joseph R. Mendelson III
It is a bittersweet experience to formally name a new species of animal, knowing that it is probably already extinct. Even more unsettling is the saga of Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog (Ecnomiohyla rabborum), a spectacular new species that my colleagues and I discovered in central Panama in 2005. The publication formally naming it appeared in 2008 in the Journal of Herpetology, but the last individual in the wild was noted in 2007. At this writing, there are two individuals safe in captivity; both of them are males. The species is evidently extinct, even if those remnant males are yet unaware. Have you seen the iconic film clip of the last thylacine—the Tasmanian tiger—in its zoo enclosure? There is now a companion clip on YouTube of the second-to-last Rabbs' treefrog.
The crisis of global amphibian extinctions is profound, it is changing ecological systems in ways that we barely understand, and it is teaching us painful lessons about research and conservation. Amid all of the horrible environmental insults we inflict upon the planet's biodiversity, Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog did not disappear in the wild because of overharvest for food, pets, or science, and we cannot lay the blame on familiar threats such as deforestation, climate change or environmental pollution. The culprit was emerging infectious disease. Amphibian chytridiomycosis is capable of directly eradicating otherwise large and stable populations and directly causing extinction of species that are otherwise unthreatened.
Amphibian chytridiomycosis is a disease caused by the recently discovered chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. In the thallus phase of its life cycle, when fungi colonize to form vegetative masses, this chytrid forms a vase-shaped structure that embeds in the superficial epidermis of amphibians, allowing the fungus to harvest energy from the keratin in the host's skin.* It then produces motile flagellate zoospores that disperse aquatically. Ironically, the zoospores resemble microscopic tadpoles. Chytrid fungi are generally decomposers or parasites of invertebrates or plants. This is the first taxon in that large group known to be parasitic on vertebrates.**
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis likely is capable of infecting every species of amphibian on Earth (nearly 7,000 species), representing the broadest host-range of any known pathogen. Host responses vary from complete tolerance to rapid death, with death resulting from cardiac arrest stemming from osmotic imbalance. (Among its roles, keratin is a water-proofing protein). Tolerant host species, such as American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus), can act as disease vectors as they disperse naturally or are transported globally by humans. Tolerant species in any ecosystem may also act as reservoirs, ensuring that the pathogen remains on site and thereby reducing the probability that vanquished amphibian populations may recover, recolonize or be reintroduced. At some sites, such as the upland areas of Central America, the Andes, eastern Australia or western North America, the arrival of the pathogen into a new area promptly eliminates some amphibian populations, severely reduces others (with little evident recovery even after decades), yet leaves a subset of species infected but otherwise unaffected. At lower elevations, or at other sites such as upland areas of eastern North America, the disease is present but seems to have little effect on local species. Considerable research has been done in an effort to elucidate the synergistic influences that underlie these variable effects among sites and species, but the general answers remain frustratingly unclear. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is behaving as an emerging infectious disease and an invasive species on every continent (except perhaps Asia, and of course Antarctica, where no amphibians currently exist). Its native distribution (and naturally coevolved host species) remains unknown.
Herpetologists and wildlife biologists began observing inexplicable disappearances of amphibians around the globe in the mid-1970s and especially by the mid-1980s but were at a complete loss to explain them. Finally, in the late 1990s, an insightful team of pathologists at the U.S. National Zoo, led by Don Nichols, collaborated with one of the few chytrid fungus scholars in the world, Joyce Longcore, and identified this quite unusual new genus and species. Conservationists and disease ecologists were unprepared for the reality of a pathogen capable of directly and rapidly—mere months!—causing the elimination of a population or an entire species that was otherwise robust. Classical host-pathogen theory held that such dramatic consequences to the host population or species were only realized when the host population was already drastically reduced in size or otherwise compromised. The concept of a lightning extinction was foreign to researchers and conservationists, and we argued vehemently about it throughout the 1990s at symposia worldwide. In retrospect, the scenario of a spreading pathogen is parsimonious and clear, but in the midst of the massacre we were entangled in logical quagmires along these lines: "The disappearances cannot be the result of disease; diseases are not capable of such." Not to mention the fact that the smoking gun, the pathogen itself, was not described until 1999. While we were debating the issue, a terrible lesson was playing out for us around the world as an unknown disease decimated amphibian populations. This lesson has led to an overdue focus on other neglected amphibian diseases, such as those caused by ranaviruses. I highly recommend the recent and quite readable book Extinction in Our Times: Global Amphibian Decline by James P. Collins, Martha L. Crump and Thomas E. Lovejoy III, which offers a complete history of the phenomenon and the desperate plight of the global stakeholders.

News Release
Council Roundup: Creating a game plan for Olympia
Also, budget nears approval
With the state Legislature beginning a new session in January, the City Council on Monday tweaked its 2013 legislative agenda in preparation.
Having a game plan for the legislative session is important because decisions made by state lawmakers can have a big impact on Bellevue and other cities. For example, with state government facing another deficit in its 2013-2014 biennial budget, it could opt to take a greater portion of revenue from the liquor tax or other state-shared revenue, leaving less for cities.
The Legislature convenes Jan. 14 and runs for 105 days. In addition to the state's fiscal challenges, there will be a new cast of elected officials, including the governor, attorney general and a representative for the 48th Legislative District, which includes Bellevue.
Another issue of concern for Bellevue will be a state transportation package with new revenue, such as a gas tax increase, that focuses on projects of critical importance to the city. They include the extension of Northeast Sixth Street to 120th Avenue Northeast; two additional lanes, one in each direction, on Interstate 405, from I-90 to Renton; and funding to complete the interchange at 124th Avenue Northeast at SR 520.
The council also received updates on federal legislation that could affect cities such as Bellevue, and on the King County Flood Control District, of which Bellevue is a part.
More information on the city's legislative agendas is available online at http://www.bellevuewa.gov/Agendas/CityCouncilAgendaExtendedStudySession11-26-12.pdf
Feedback: Joyce Nichols, Interim Director of Intergovernmental Relations, 425-452-4225 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Budget nears approval
The council adjusted the proposed 2013-2014 operating budget Monday, adding $165,800 for arts, tourism and work related to the city's electrical system.
Overall, the draft capital and operating budgets -- which include core services such as police, fire, transportation and parks -- total about $1.29 billion for 2013 and 2014.
On Monday, the council approved $50,800 more in the operating budget for Visit Bellevue Washington, which markets the city as a tourism and visitor destination, and $60,000 to work with Puget Sound Energy to ensure the city continues to have adequate and reliable power to meet current and future needs.
Following a recommendation from the Arts Commission, the council added $20,000 for the city's arts program, restoring the program's budget to the $110,000 annual allocation made before recession-related budget cuts in the current biennium.
The council also authorized $35,000 to place marble statues sent from sister city Hualien at City Hall for display. The gifts have been in storage since they were received in 2010.
The council is scheduled to adopt the operating budget, as well as the 2013-2019 capital budget, on Dec. 3. Both budgets include incremental increases.
The last of three public hearings concerning the budget was on Nov. 19. Two public forums about the budget took place in June as well.
More information, including the preliminary budgets, is available at Budgets.

"This is the in-wall sub I've wanted from Atlantic for a long time!" — Bruce Eckert, BWE Electronics Powerful in-wall bass that hides from viewThe IWTS-28 SUB is an in-wall subwoofer that uses dual heavy-duty 8" woofers to deliver rich, vibrant bass to custom-installed audio systems. It is easily retro-fitted to existing construction using Atlantic's GFR-626 grille/frame assembly, the same grille/frame assembly used for the IWTS-30 LCR THX Ultra 2. Boasting amazing hookup flexibility, the 28 SUB can either be used passively, driven directly off the receiver's front Left/Right speaker outputs by utilizing the 28 SUB's on-board low-pass crossover, OR it can be driven actively by using a power amplifier such as our SA-180 connected to the receiver's 'sub out' jack. The 28 SUB's on-board low-pass crossover is then switched to 'off,' and the crossover functions and bass level duties are handled by the system electronics, as with any powered subwoofer. Several design features distinguish 28 SUB's amazing performance--its powerful, long-throw woofers, its solid 1"-thick (!) resonant-free MDF baffle, and its audiophile-grade crossover. This is one serious subwoofer. The SA-180 monoblock amplifier is the perfect companion to the 28 SUB. With 180 watts of rock-solid RMS power, a massive toroidal transformer, 12-volt trigger turn-on, and 3-position equalization switch, the SA-180 has all the right moves to make the 28 SUB perform at its best.

Flexibility The IWTS-28 SUB is an in-wall subwoofer that uses dual 8" woofers to deliver rich, vibrant bass to custom-installed audio systems. It is easily retro-fitted to existing construction using Atlantic's GFR-626 grille/frame assembly, the same grille frame assembly used for the IWTS-30 LCR THX Ultra 2. The 28 SUB has several features that maximize its flexibility: As can be expected, the IWTS-28 SUB can be used as the speaker portion of a separately-powered LFE subwoofer in a true 5.1/7.1 system. When used this way, the convenient front-panel switch for the SUB's crossover would be set to 'off,' and the jumpers connecting the two sets of input terminals are left in place. An RCA cable goes from the receiver's Sub Out jack into a monoblock amplifier (such as Atlantic's SA-180), and then from the monoblock amp into the 28 SUB. All low-pass/high-pass crossover functions are then handled by the receiver's bass management system, as when using any powered subwoofer. However, the 28 SUB has two sets of input terminals (one set for each 8" driver) and an on-board passive low-pass crossover so that it can be driven directly off the front left/right speaker outputs of the system's receiver—without the need for a separate amplifier. When used this way, the jumpers would be removed and the receiver's L/R outputs simply connect to the individual terminals of each of the 28 SUB's woofers. The 28 SUB's on-board low-pass crossover—switched 'on'—ensures that the sub receives only the lower bass frequencies.

In August 1968, naturalist-explorer Peter Matthiessen returned from Africa to his home in Sagaponack, Long Island, to find three Zen masters in his driveway—guests of his wife, a new student of Zen. Thirteen years later, Matthiessen was ordained a Buddhist monk. Written in the same format as his best-selling The Snow Leopard, Nine-Headed Dragon River reveals Matthiessen's most daring adventure of all: the quest for his spiritual roots.
News & Reviews
"Very few writers have the courage, inner experience, and literary technique to take us into the reaches of mystic awareness. Matthiessen has; his prose is among the finest of our time—at once sensual and austere, sinewy, yet full of warmth, eloquent yet reverent, polished clean by silence and awe. Nine-Headed Dragon River is a clear gift to us from a complex man who has schooled himself to speak of central things with a most honorable exactitude."—Andrew Harvey, Vogue
"Remarkable, memorable nonfiction. Matthiessen's prose is as strong and pure as ever."—Duncan Spencer, Washington Post
"Peter Matthiessen's book embodies the spirit of Zen in America."—Hakuyu T. Maezumi, Zen Center of Los Angeles

This summery riff on a Moscow Mule adds fresh watermelon purée to the classic combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime. Ginger beer is similar to ginger ale, but has a more pungent, crisp flavor.
Purée the watermelon in a food processor until smooth; strain. You should have 3 fl. oz (6 Tbs.) juice.
Pour the watermelon juice, vodka, and lime juice into a chilled cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake for about 10 seconds then pour into a Collins glass filled with ice. Top off with the ginger beer and garnish with the lime slice.

RDA incorporates Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) principles in the organization of the rules.
Work -- "A distinct intellectual or artistic creation," apart from any individual expression of it. E.g., "Hamlet is a great play" doesn't refer to any edition or performance or filmed version of the play. A work consists of intellectual or artistic content.
Expression -- The intellectual or artistic realization of a work in the form of alphanumeric or musical notation, sound, image, etc. Example: a handwritten score by a composer; a manuscript of a novel sent to a publisher by the author.
Manifestation -- "The physical embodiment of an expression of a work." Represents all the physical objects that bear the same characteristics, in respect to both intellectual content and physical form. An annotated edition of To Kill a Mockingbird with a particular editor, publisher, and date is a manifestation. The e-book of the same title would be another manifestation. The original, unannotated edition published by Lippincott in 1960 is a third, and so on.
Item -- "A single exemplar or instance of a manifestation." Our library's copy of a particular edition is an item.
Why do we have to think about the theory?
So what's going to change in the records we work with?
The RDA Toolkit is organized by area of the catalog record, not by material type. For example, if you look at Chapter 3, "Describing Carriers," you will find rules for the physical description of books, visual materials, computer files, microfilm, discs, cassettes, etc., including descriptive notes.
An important change in RDA is that we are expected to catalog the item in hand, not describe it in terms of another format of which it may be a reproduction. For example, when cataloging a digital object that originally appeared in print, we would describe it as an online resource, not catalog the print original and then add extra fields for the electronic elements. This is a complete reversal of the way LC, and we, have been cataloging reproductions.
Note: RDA, like AACR2, does not address MARC tagging. However, the USMARC Format for Bibliographic Data includes new MARC fields that were developed in response to RDA and also includes information on coding bibliographic records to RDA standards.
Fixed Field:
Personal Name Headings
We will see fewer fuller-form qualifiers -- the full form of a person's name is used primarily to break conflicts in RDA. AACR2 required us to add the full form as a qualifier if it was known, for the sake of providing the information if available; RDA doesn't.
Additions to names such as "Jr." and "III" can now be used in name headings.
Dates in name headings: abbreviation "ca." (circa) is no longer used, nor are abbreviations b., d., and fl. If dates are uncertain, the word "approximately" is used, and "born," "died," and "flourished" are spelled out.
If there are multiple authors, no matter how many, the first named author will appear in the 100 field. There is no "rule of three" to differentiate between an author entry and a title entry.
Relator terms -- can be used for authors and other creators (1xx field) as well as for 7xx (contributors). As with other things formerly abbreviated in AACR2, relator terms are spelled out in RDA ("editor" instead of "ed."). An authorized list of these terms can be found in RDA Appendix I, Relationship Designators.
100 1_ Smith, Michael J., $e author.
700 1_ Duncan, Caroline, $e illustrator.
Family names can now be used as access points in the 100 and 700 fields.
100 3_ Bourbon (Royal house)
700 3_ Chastain (Family : $c Fulton County, Ga.)
Corporate and Conference Headings
"Dept." will be spelled out as "Department".
If the frequency of a conference is part of the conference name, it will now be included in the heading:
111 2_ Biennial Conference on Workplace Injuries
Uniform Titles
"Qu'ran" will replace "Koran" as a uniform title.
The abbreviations "O.T." and "N.T." will no longer be used between "Bible" and specific books or sections of the Bible.
130 0_ Bible. $p Acts
If the work is about, or is, the entire old or new testaments, then the terms will be spelled out:
130 0_ Bible. $p New Testament
Non-unique uniform titles may have additional information supplied to make them unique, for example, supplying the date or the editor's name editor's name for a collection of poetry.
245 Title
In RDA, transcription of 245 field is exactly as it is in/on the work, including errors -- "[sic]" and "[i.e.]" are not used. Instead, the cataloger makes a 246 field with the corrected title. This will probably result in patrons telling reference librarians that we have an error in the catalog; though the cataloger also has the option of adding a 500 note explaining the error, the patron may not see it.
245 02 A collecton of essays on human rights in Southeast Asia
246 1_ $i Title should read: $a Collection of essays on human rights in Southeast Asia
Under AACR2, if an ellipsis appeared in a title, the ellipsis would be replaced by a double dash when transcribing the title. Since RDA requires exact transcription, the ellipsis will now appear in the bibliographic record.
Catalogers have the option to use the capitalization that appears in the work, including standard English capitalization for titles or, if the title on the work is in all caps, using that too:
AACR2: 245 12 A day in the life of a baby bear
RDA, optionally: 245 12 A Day in the Life of a Baby Bear
Or, if in all caps: 245 12 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BABY BEAR
However, most RDA records appear to be retaining the standard "library capitalization" pattern. LC is continuing this usage, and we will follow suit.
[Bracketed Information]
In addition to not noting errors within the 245 field, catalogers will no longer supply other information in brackets for clarification purposes (for example, including the word [proceedings] to make it clear that the work is the proceedings of a conference).
However, cartographic materials and moving image materials are an exception; such information can still be supplied for those, for example, to differentiate a movie trailer from the film itself.
Parallel Titles
AACR2 gives instructions on how many parallel titles to record, inclusion of a parallel title in English, etc. Under RDA, record all parallel titles. RDA does not have multiple levels of description as AACR2 did.
GMD (General Material Description
RDA does away with the GMD, replacing it with three new physical description fields (described under 3xx below). Because the GMD is present in even the briefest OPAC display of a record and because the terminology used in the new 3xx fields is obscure, we will continue to use the GMD locally as a service to our users.
GMDs will NOT be included in original records contributed to OCLC, but we will insert them before we export the record to our local catalog. For edit cataloging, insert the GMD as it would be used in AACR2. GMDs are not required for every physical format but will be used for:
In 245 $b, the inclusion of other title information, such as subtitles, is optional in RDA. Our local standards will require the transcription of subtitles.
Rule of Three and Access to Authors/Creators, etc.
In 245 $c, the AACR2 "rule of three" is obsolete. RDA gives the option of:
Latin abbreviations such as "et al." are not used in RDA. If more than three creators are listed on the title page and there is no indication of primary or secondary responsibility attached to the names, the first named creator is given in the 100 field, not 700.
Note: editors and illustrators are still given access points in the 700 field.
Statement of Responsibility
Sources for the statement of responsibility are expanded in RDA. Only information taken from outside the work itself needs to be enclosed in brackets, so if an author statement appears on the t.p. verso, there is no need to bracket it.
Words associated with names on the chief source of information, such as titles of honor or address, are omitted from the catalog record under AACR2. RDA calls for inclusion of such terms, in keeping with transcribing exactly what is on the title page. So we will see author statements such as "by the Rev. J. L. Smith" or "notes and analysis by Professor Michael King, Ph.D."
What RDA calls "noun phrases occurring in conjunction with a statement of responsibility" are now included in $c. Under AACR2, they were considered subtitles and put in $b. Example:
AACR2: 245 14 The west wind : $b poems / $c by Elizabeth T. Murray.
RDA: 245 14 The west wind / $c poems by Elizabeth T. Murray.
Note: If there is no "by" on the title page, this rule change makes it necessary to insert [by] to clarify the statement.
250 Edition
Field is now repeatable. The edition statement will be transcribed as in the work. This will result in a variety of appearances for edition statements, since some edition statements will be in abbreviated forms and others will not:
260-264 Publication Information
RDA-MARC optionally replaces the 260 field with the 264 field, which is repeatable. In 264, "S.l." and "s.n." are obsolete. LC practice encourages catalogers to supply estimates of place, publisher, and date (with brackets and question mark). If there really is no determinable place, publisher, or date, use the phrasing:
264 _2 [Place of publication not identified] : $b [Publisher not identified], $c [Date of publication not identified].
New indicators have been created to designate the type of information in 264. The 1st indicator refers to a sequence of publishing statements. These would be used mostly for serials or aggregating resources. For other types of materials, this indicator would be blank.
# No information given OR earliest available publisher
2 Intervening publisher
3 Latest or current publisher
The 2nd indicator refers to the function of the entity in $a:
0 Production (refers to resources in unpublished form)
1 Publication
2 Distribution
3 Manufacture (printing)
4 Copyright
If you want to include publication, manufacturer (printer) and copyright information, you would have three 264 fields. Examples below.
If more than one element requires brackets, supply a separate set of brackets for each element, even if the elements are adjacent to each other:
264 _1 [New York] : $b [Hampton Publishing], $c [2012]
Publication date and copyright date are considered two separate and equally important elements. The hierarchy of preference for the publication date in AACR2, which dropped the copyright date if the two dates were the same, has been replaced by recording the dates separately. See example below.
$a Place. Despite RDA's general aversion to abbreviations, the standard abbreviations for states (same as in AACR2) are used in 260 $a. However, if a U.S. postal code is used in the work instead of the traditional abbreviation, transcribe the postal code as it appears.
The hierarchy of preferring American places of publication and publishers, and adding an American publisher statement if the first named publisher is not American, has gone away. Record multiple places of publication/publishers in the order in which they appear on the chief source of information, or, optionally, we may record only the first named place and publisher.
$b Publisher Name. Record the publisher's name as it appears in the work. Do not abbreviate "Company" or "Department" if the words are spelled out on the source of information. If they are abbreviated, transcribe the abbreviations.
$c Date. Record the date as it appears on the work (exception: dates in Roman numerals can still be converted to Arabic).
Publication statement:
264 _1 Hattiesburg, Miss. : $b University of Southern Mississippi, $c 2013.
Distribution statement:
264 _2 New York : $b Distributed by Independent Publishers Group, $c 1996.
Statement of manufacture (printing):
264 _3 Natchez, Miss. : $b Steam Press of the Natchez Democrat, $c 1897.
Copyright statement, using the terminology that appears on the work. Note that there is no need to repeat any place or publisher information when recording a copyright statement.
264 _4 $c copyright 2009.
264 _4 $c ©2011.
Statements such as "c2012" are obsolete; we are to use the copyright symbol if it appears in the work. This symbol is part of the "diacritics and special characters" set in Connexion and can be found in Millennium in the "Latin-1 supplement" character map.
To type a copyright symbol directly from your keyboard, have the number pad turned on, hold down the Alt key, and type code "0169" on the number pad. The ? [P in a circle] symbol used for sound recordings is also in the Connexion character set and is in the "Enclosed alphanumerics" character map in Millennium.
Comparison: Form of dates in publication fields (examples from Adam Schiff, University of Washington)
Note that the use of the hyphen to indicate estimated dates in 260/264 has been discontinued. Instead, we are instructed to spell out the implied meaning of, for example, [19--?] as "between 1900 and [current year]" or another estimated latest date of publication. This corresponds to the discontinuation of "u" to indicate digits in unknown dates in the fixed field, as described above.
Unknown dates of publication (i.e., a date is available that is not the publication date):
As noted at the beginning of this section, replacement of 260 with 264 is optional. We will continue to see OCLC records that contain 260 fields. University Libraries will use 264 fields in our original cataloging when we implement RDA, but if you are working with an OCLC record with a 260, accept it as is and do not break the information into multiple 264 fields.
300 Physical Description
In 300, abbreviations should be spelled out, except for "cm," which is not considered an abbreviation but a metric symbol. Note that no period appears after "cm".
300 __ xvi, 274 pages : $b colored illustrations, colored maps ; $c 25 cm
300 __ 2 volumes : $b illustrations ; $c 23 cm
300 __ 1 volume (unpaged)
It is also permissible to estimate the number of pages in an unpaged volume:
300 __ approximately 300 pages
Unnumbered pages or leaves of plates will now be described as such, instead of having the fact that they are unnumbered implied by brackets:
300 __ vii, 313 pages, 24 unnumbered pages of plates
Terms to use in recording "carriers" in the 300 field -- i.e., the object being cataloged (print volume, audiodisc, videocassette, etc.):

– Leuren Moret – Nuclear genocide of babies and children in Japan, US, Canada grows (Examiner, July 17, 2011):
In an exclusive ExopoliticsTV interview (released July 17, 2011) with independent scientist Leuren Moret, MA, PhD (ABT) by Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd, Ms. Moret reveals that the hidden nuclear genocide of babies and children resulting from the March 11, 2011 Fukushima false flag tectonic event can now be documented and is growing.
Leuren Moret also released her court statement as an expert witness in a lawsuit brought to force government officials to evacuate more than 350,000 children from the Fukushima area where they are being forcibly exposed by the government to lethal doses of radiation. Ms. Moret's court statement is reprinted below in this article as a public service.
Leuren Moret Court statement in Koriyama City, Fukushima, Japan
In her court statement as part of a lawsuit in Japan to force the evacuation of more than 350,000 children from lethal levels of radiation in the Fukushima area, Leuren Moret states,
"The west coast of North America is thousands of miles across the vast Pacific Ocean, a long way from Fukushima Daiichi and the radioactive solids, liquids, and gases being released daily and recklessly to poison both near and far. Already we are seeing the effects in North America.
"Air filters from cars in Seattle have been analyzed for hot particles and indicate that Seattle residents are inhaling 5 hot particles a day, in Tokyo it is 10 hot particles a day, in Fukushima Prefecture it is 30-40 times higher – 300-400 hot particles a day.
"Hot particles and alpha emitters such as Uranium and Plutonium have not even been mentioned by the government or TEPCO, nor has their contribution to total radiation released been considered. Alpha particles are biologically 20 times more damaging than beta particles.
"Iodine 131 in drinking water in San Francisco was reported by UC Berkeley to be 18,100% times higher than the EPA drinking water standard, yet the US government quit measuring it.
"Infant mortality in Berkeley, CA, and other west coast cities was reported by Dr. Janette Sherman to have increased 35% since March 11, after the Fukushima disaster. The babies are the first to die.
"Infant mortality in Philadelphia, PA. where the highest Iodine 131 levels in drinking water measured in the US have been reported, has increased 45% since March 11.
People on the west coast of the United States and even in Arizona are reporting a metallic taste in their mouths – an indication of radioactive particles in the air as in Japan.
"On the night of June 14, a nuclear incident occurred in the Reactor 3 building in the spent fuel pool when huge bursts of gamma ray fluorescence lit up the night sky and turned the reactor building as bright as the sun, indicating the spent fuel rods and melted uranium and plutonium were boiling off, vaporized along with the rest of the fission products.
"The radiation from this unreported but very dangerous event was released without protecting the residents of Fukushima Prefecture – especially the children. But the radiation was detected at elevated levels from 2:30 AM until 7:30 AM on a monitor in Ibaraki Prefecture. How many Curies were released? When will this nuclear war against the Japanese people and the Northern Hemisphere ever end?
"Instead of evacuation, the government gives the children (sick with radiation symptoms) film badges to measure the external exposure dose… another study group like US govt. studies on Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims (they are still being studied), Iraq victims, Gaza victims. And the US government did the same thing to Americans during 1300 nuclear bomb tests in the US."
Epidemiological evidence of 35%+ spike in infant mortality after Fukushima
In her ExopoliticsTV interview, Ms. Moret demonstrated that there has been a spike of 35% in infant mortality in the west coast of the United States and of Canada since the HAARP-triggered Fukushima event that can be reasonably attributed to the ionizing radiation ferried across the Pacific ocean and dumped on west coast U.S. and Canadian cities by HAARP-caused weather warfare.
Ms. Moret cites multiple articles by scientist Janette Sherman and Joseph Mangano, documenting the 35% spike in infant mortality in west coast U.S. cities after Fukushima.
On June 9, 2011, Sherman and Mangano write, "The recent CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report indicates that eight cities in the northwest U.S. (Boise ID, Seattle WA, Portland OR, plus the northern California cities of Santa Cruz, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, and Berkeley) reported the following data on deaths among those younger than one year of age:
4 weeks ending March 19, 2011 – 37 deaths (avg. 9.25 per week)
10 weeks ending May 28, 2011 – 125 deaths (avg.12.50 per week)
"This amounts to an increase of 35% (the total for the entire U.S. rose about 2.3%), and is statistically significant. Of further significance is that those dates include the four weeks before and the ten weeks after the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster. In 2001 the infant mortality was 6.834 per 1000 live births, increasing to 6.845 in 2007. All years from 2002 to 2007 were higher than the 2001 rate.
"Spewing from the Fukushima reactor are radioactive isotopes including those of iodine (I-131), strontium (Sr-90) and cesium (Cs-134 and Cs-137) all of which are taken up in food and water. Iodine is concentrated in the thyroid, Sr-90 in bones and teeth and Cs-134 and Cs-137 in soft tissues, including the heart. The unborn and babies are more vulnerable because the cells are rapidly dividing and the delivered dose is proportionally larger than that delivered to an adult."
On June 21, 2011, Scientific American published a nuclear apologist article by Michael Moyer (SCI AMERICAN: "Are Babies Dying in the Pacific Northwest Due to Fukushima? A Look at the Numbers" June 21, 2011 by Michael Moyer) attacking the results that scientists Sherman and Mangano had published on the 35% increase in infant mortality. Yet critics of the nuclear apologists cherry picked 4 cities (Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane) and calculated the infant mortality and came up with a 42% increase for those 4 cities. So the infant mortality spike due to Fukushima, Ms. Moret states, must be higher in the Northwest U.S. and Canada where there is higher rainfall.
On June 25, 2011, Sherman and Mangano confirm their 35% spike in infant mortality and write, "The current news indicates that radioactive fallout [from Fukushima] continues to spread across the hemisphere, blanketing oceans, lakes, farmland and cities – everywhere that people live, breathe and eat. We call for extensive monitoring of at least Cs-137, Sr-90, I-131, plutonium, and hot particles in food, water and air, across the U. S, with the data available to the public without delay."
Canadian government and CBC media continue radiation cover-up
Officials in Canada and the Canadian mainstream media, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) are continuing the radiation genocide coverup, Ms. Moret stated in her ExopoliticsTV interview.
A July 5, 2011 article by the CBC confirmed the spike in infant mortality in British Columbia Canada, as stated by the B.C. Coroner. The B.C. Coroner, however, blamed the spike in infant mortality in western Canada on parents and their sleeping habits with children, rather than do the obvious research into the effects of the Fukushima radiation on infant mortality in B.C., Canada.
The CBC, a government funded public media outlet on which many Canadians depend for their "reliable" news merely printed the B.C. Coroner's fabrications without any independent research, which was available from Sherman and Mangano's and other research of the radiation-related 35% spike (and higher) in such west coast cities of the U.S. as Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, which are contiguous to such B.C. cities as Victoria and Vancouver, B.C., and which would have received approximately the same amount of radiation-laden rainfall from Fukushima.
Below is the CBC article/B.C. Coroner's radiation-coverup report. Compare it with Sherman and Mangano's science-based analysis of the radiation caused growing baby genocide in the U.S. and Canada.
CBC writes, "B.C.'s chief coroner is urging parents to use safe sleep practices in light of a spike in the number of sudden infant deaths across the province this year. There have been 21 sudden infant deaths in B.C. so far this year, while there were 16 sudden infant deaths for all of 2010, Lisa Lapointe said Tuesday. Lapointe said that in most of this year's deaths, risk factors included babies sleeping with an adult, on a couch or a soft bed. Babies should be placed on their back in a crib with a fitted sheet, without a lot of puffy blankets or toys that could obscure their face, Lapointe said.
"We know there's been a spike in the first six months and we know it's related to unsafe sleep practices. Why so many of those [deaths] have come up this year, we don't know," Lapointe said. She said the reason for the increased number of deaths is all the more mysterious because health authorities, family doctors and public health nurses have kept up efforts to educate parents. The B.C. Coroner's Service is continuing to investigate the 21 deaths."

Statement of Leuren Moret, Independent Scientist
B.S. Geology UC Davis, M.A. Near Eastern Studies UC Berkeley, PhD Geosciences (ABD) UC Davis
Statement of Leuren Moret in relation to the provisional injunction against the Education Committee of Koryama City, Fukushima to evacuate the children from the radioactively contaminated area being filed on June 24, 2011.
I am making this urgent statement in support of a provisional injunction to evacuate children living in and attending schools in areas of Fukushima Prefecture that have been found to have unacceptably high levels of radiation as a result of the ongoing release of dangerous levels of radiation from fission products and reactor fuel released from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that was damaged by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and 40 meter tsunami on March 11, 2011.
My expertise:
I am an international specialist on ionizing radiation, an independent scientist and educator, and the first woman to graduate with a BS in Geology from UC Davis, earned a Masters degree in Near Eastern Studies from UC Berkeley, and a PHD in the Geosciences from UC Davis (all but dissertation). I am the recipient of a UC President's Mentoring Fellowship in the Sciences at UC Davis, and selected as one of the five most promising young scientists at UC Davis. I am the Past President of the Association for Women Geoscientists, an international women's science organization, and have conducted scientific research and given talks in 50 countries on the effects of radiation on the environment and public health. I collected over 6000 baby teeth with the Radiation and Public Health Project, from children living in the US, UK, and Japan, within 100 miles of nuclear power plants, and we discovered that the radiation levels are higher today because of nuclear power pollution than during atmospheric bomb testing. Between 2000 and 2011, I made 20 speaking tours in Japan on radiation related issues. During a one-month speaking tour of Japan in 2005, Dr. Ernest Sternglass and I met with TEPCO officials, on the first day of operations at Rokkasho nuclear reprocessing plant in Aomori prefecture, to protest the impact on the environment and public health from highly radioactive emissions, releases, and accidents at the facility.
I have written and been interviewed widely on radiation issues in publications such as The Japan Times, the International Herald Tribune, the San Francisco Bay View, and wrote the Foreword to Akira Tashiro's famous book Discounted Casualties: The Human Cost of Depleted Uranium. I have also been in many radiation related documentaries, appeared on television (NHK, Press TV, Malaysian TV, Istanbul TV, KITV ABC Honolulu), and have many videos with radiation information posted on the Internet.
I have been an official science advisor to Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, provided scientific advice to members of the Japanese Parliament, and am an official expert witness on uranium issues for MP Alex Atamanenko in the Canadian Parliament. I have also been an expert witness on depleted uranium for the Tokyo International War Crimes Tribunal for Afghanistan in 2003, on the organizing committee of the Istanbul International War Crimes Tribunal for Iraq in 2003, and was invited to be a keynote speaker by Tun Dr. Mahathir, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, at the Kuala Lumpur International War Crimes Conference in 2007 and in 2009, and submitted two official Complaints on Depleted Uranium Weapons to the Kuala Lumpur International War Crimes Conference for Iraq in 2010.
Effects of radiation exposure from atmospheric bomb tests, Nuclear Power Plants, Chernobyl, and the Fukushima Disaster:
There is overwhelming evidence from vital statistics collected by many countries, of a large rise of chronic illnesses or free radical diseases, following open air testing of nuclear weapons. No country has a better record of vital statistics than Japan that extends back to 1899 and provides a baseline for health statistics before man-made radiation was introduced into the environment.
Japan government health statistics 1899-2003, chief causes of mortality.
Source: Japanese government vital health statistics 1899-2003
It is clear from this data that large increases in mortality from brain disease, heart disease, and cancer occurred in Japan with the introduction of each new nuclear technology following World War II. The US government did not allow the Japanese Government to report health statistics for three years following the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in order to hide the horrific effects of ionizing radiation from the public. This important document also shows that the radiation body burden in the Japanese population has been cumulative since 1945, as additional radiation has been introduced into the environment each year, and ingested mainly in drinking water and dairy products.
In utero exposure causes brain damage as well as in Japan, large increases in chronic illnesses in the United States were caused by contamination of the entire continental United States from nuclear bomb test rainout of radioactive nanoparticles, a large decrease by 12% in nationwide SAT scores (Scholastic aptitude tests) occurred in children born after 1945 who were exposed in utero to low levels of ionizing radiation. Dr. Ernest Sternglass was able to show that the decline in SAT scores was directly related to the amount of fission products released each year from bomb tests. The SAT scores never recovered after bomb testing ended because nuclear power plant fission products replaced bomb testing radioactive pollution.
This graph on right illustrates the US average for SAT scores 1952-1994, taken the last year of high school (bottom axis), and year of birth (indicated on curve). The annual average decline in the scores inversely correlates with the total kiloton equivalent of nuke tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site the same year. The lower the SAT score, the more radiation released in that year from bomb testing at the NTS.

Exposure to nuclear pollution causes high rates of mental illness
In 2004 the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published the results of a WHO global mental health survey. Again the results were shocking. The survey found that the US had the highest rate of mental illness in the world; over 26% of Americans have some form of mental illness. The effects of Chinese bomb testing in the Gobi desert were apparent in mental illness rates in Beijing (9.1%) and Japan (8.8%), directly downwind from the annual Gobi dust and sand storms, contaminated with bomb testing fission products. Mexico (12.2%) and Columbia (17.8%) were downwind from bomb tests on Christmas Island and Johnson Island in the Pacific, test sites that were 1000 miles upwind from Hawaii with the highest cancer rates in the US. Belgium (12.0%), France (18.4%), and the Netherlands (14.8%) are contaminated from their own nuclear power plants, or unlucky to be downwind and downstream from other sources. Lebanon (16.9%) was heavily contaminated by French nuclear tests in the Sahara desert, and from depleted uranium used in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan. The Ukraine (20.4%) is testimony to the tragic effects of Chernobyl in 1986. The population with the best mental health in the WHO survey was Nigeria, far from the bomb tests, and that's not all. Africa has the lowest diabetes rates in the world. There are almost no nuclear power plants in Africa.

Major cause of diabetes is ionizing radiation
Because uranium is a hormone and estrogen disruptor, it is one of the main causes of diabetes globally since 1945. All atomic and hydrogen bombs were composed of thousands of times more depleted uranium than the plutonium in the bomb core, making it the main atmospheric nuclear pollutant since 1945. The very large increase in diabetes beginning in 1991, with the introduction of US depleted uranium (DU) weaponry to the battlefield in GW I, is reflected in the global statistics and indicative of how pernicious and global the DU poisoning really is. It has been reported globally that the largest number of new cases of diabetes are diagnosed when the annual rainy seasons begin indicating that the cause of diabetes is in the atmosphere.
Large increases in autism increased dramatically with introduction of nuclear power
Dr. Ernest Sternglass was able to compare the number of kilowatt-hours of electricity generated in California per year to the increase in autism incidence in California, and found that there was a direct causal relationship. The occurrence of autism is not diagnosed until the child is about five years old, so the time of diagnosis of large increases of autism was offset by about 5 years from the year of birth that indicated the brain damage was caused by in utero exposure of the fetus to ionizing radiation, even exposure to very low amounts. In recent studies, the incidence of autism in Washington, Oregon, and California has been linked to the presence of nuclear reactors and rainfall patterns. The largest number of new cases of autism is diagnosed when the annual rainy season starts, indicating that the cause is rainout of radioactive nanoparticles into the environment. In the United States the cost of treating an autistic child is very expensive.
Direct medical and nonmedical costs can add up to as much as $72,000 a year for someone with an extreme case of the disorder, and even $67,000 a year for those on the lower end of the spectrum, according to a study from the Harvard School of Public Health. The Cost of Autism, New York Times Jan. 22, 2010.
Infant mortality and childhood cancer rates drop when nuclear power plants are shut down
In our studies of diseases in children and babies living near nuclear power plants, by the Radiation and Public Health Project, we found a decrease of 54.1% in infant mortality after the closing of the Big Rock Point reactor in Michigan, and a 33.4% decline when the Maine Yankee reactor was shut down in Maine. After the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant was shut down in Sacramento, California, a decline in newly diagnosed leukemia and cancer cases and birth defect deaths in children under five years old in the four counties around the Rancho Seco plant continued to decline for seven years after the plant was closed in 1989. Dr. Sternglass said "We found to our amazement and shock that the levels of strontium 90 per gram of calcium in the teeth of new born babies… is as high as it was at the height of nuclear bomb testing." The ONLY source today for Strontium 90 is nuclear power plants. Since the baby teeth form in the unborn child, the baby teeth serve as a dosimeter of in utero exposure to radiation. In the baby teeth I collected in Japan in 2005, the highest levels of Strontium 90 were in two Japanese babies born in Washington DC where dairy products are very high in radiation from dairies located near nuclear power plants. The rest of the baby teeth ranged from high to very low levels of Strontium 90, indicating that Diabetes death rates in Japan 1950-2004. This graph represents the global cumulative radiation effects, in death rates from diabetes, caused by atmospheric testing (1950-1963), nuclear power plants introduced in 1968, and depleted uranium introduced by the U.S. in GW I in 1991.

Chernobyl rainout of radiation causes breast cancer clusters in Japan and California
Dr. Shuntaro Hida was able to map breast cancer clusters across Japan after the Chernobyl plume passed over Japan on its way across the Pacific. By investigating weather patterns in Japan for that day, he was able to show that they occurred in areas where it rained that day. A similar pattern was reported north of San Francisco, in Marin County, California, and across California as the radioactive plume travelled east from the Bay Area and crossed over the mountains into Nevada. An ornithologist in Marin County, Dr. Dave De Sante, also reported high death rates in nesting birds that month, and the death rates were higher in birds that ate vegetable matter than in birds that ate insects. A further investigation of the areas in Japan and the US where the breast cancer clusters occurred, should identify increases in infant mortality, children's cancer, diabetes and autism as well as other radiation related diseases. Below is a list of diseases caused by free radicals, produced in huge numbers in tissues contaminated with ionizing radiation:
Source: Free Radicals In Biology and Medicine 3rd Ed., B. Halliwell and J. Gutteridge, Oxford University Press (1999).
The west coast of North America is thousands of miles across the vast Pacific Ocean, a long way from Fukushima Daiichi and the radioactive solids, liquids, and gases being released daily and recklessly to poison both near and far. Already we are seeing the effects in North America.
Air filters from cars in Seattle have been analyzed for hot particles and indicate that Seattle residents are inhaling 5 hot particles a day, in Tokyo it is 10 hot particles a day, in Fukushima Prefecture it is 30-40 times higher – 300-400 hot particles a day.
Hot particles and alpha emitters such as Uranium and Plutonium have not even been mentioned by the government or TEPCO, nor has their contribution to total radiation released been considered. Alpha particles are biologically 20 times more damaging than beta particles.
Iodine 131 in drinking water in San Francisco was reported by UC Berkeley to be 18,100% times higher than the EPA drinking water standard, yet the US government quit measuring it.
Infant mortality in Berkeley, and other west coast cities was reported by Dr. Janette Sherman to have increased 35% since March 11, after the Fukushima disaster. The babies are the first to die.
Infant mortality in Philadelphia, where the highest Iodine 131 levels in drinking water measured in the US have been reported, has increased 45% since March 11.
People on the west coast of the United States and even in Arizona are reporting a metallic taste in their mouths – an indication of radioactive particles in the air as in Japan.
On the night of June 14, a nuclear incident occurred in the Reactor 3 building in the spent fuel pool when huge bursts of gamma ray fluorescence lit up the night sky and turned the reactor building as bright as the sun, indicating the spent fuel rods and melted uranium and plutonium were boiling off, vaporized along with the rest of the fission products.
The radiation from this unreported but very dangerous event was released without protecting the residents of Fukushima Prefecture – especially the children. But the radiation was detected at elevated levels from 2:30 AM until 7:30 AM on a monitor in Ibaraki Prefecture. How many Curies were released? When will this nuclear war against the Japanese people and the Northern Hemisphere ever end?
Instead of evacuation, the government gives the children (sick with radiation symptoms) film badges to measure the external exposure dose… another study group like US govt. studies on Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims (they are still being studied), Iraq victims, Gaza victims. And the US government did the same thing to Americans during 1300 nuclear bomb tests in the US.

Thank you for the comprehensive article on this important subject. I question the idea about H.A.A.R.P. because I don't know enough about it to discuss. I have looked on line about it, and found a lot of hysteria on the subject with few facts.
I question this was done on purpose to lower the population count simply because of the way it happened, first an earthquake then a tsunami. Nature is far more powerful than people. Since the technology to stop the radiation from pouring into the air, water and soil doesn't exist yet, I question man's ability to affect the weather so effectively. Why would anyone do this? Japan is suffering from huge loss in their power supplies, their entire economy and society is in deep trouble. They were also a large source of cash for the USA to borrow, that is gone now. This is a growing problem that will kill many of us….perhaps all.
Thanks for staying on this important story MSM has buried.

The fallout from the nuclear meltdown of 3 or 4 reactors continues without end and there is no technology to stop it. If I understand correctly, the radiation pours endlessly into our atmosphere. It is in the water, soil and air, it's been found in our crops, milk, drinking water and other areas of the food chain. As it cannot be stopped, it will continue to get worse. All normal avenues of information have been shut down, were it not for this website and Fairewinds.org, we would be in the dark.
My education is in history, not science, so please correct me if I am mistaken. As the poison continues to flow into our atmosphere, the concentration of radiation gets higher and more deadly. What is to stop it from killing all of us?
The way our governments have shut down all information is akin to a science fiction horror story. How long can they do this? Russia had the 1986 disaster that was curtailed in a few weeks, millions died along with the story. The Internet was not yet a consumer tool, we depended on newspapers & magazines for info. One would think it would be harder to hide it from the people today.
But, if they are not aware it is happening, they won't investigate and demand safer forms of energy from government. The Germans did, but I don't know how closely they follow this story. At this point, will it make any difference? I would really like to know. Perhaps there is no answer, but if there is, would you post it on your website? I want to know the truth, and you have been awesome in providing it.
This is an unprecedented disaster and I wish we had less corrupt leaders. Decent leaders would have demanded a tested method of closing down a nuclear meltdown before allowing them to built the reactors. I find it incomprehensible until I remember the Greed Factor.
Thanks for your great work.

On Radiation:
How To Decrease Radiation Illness And Protect Yourself From Radiation
Dr. Rima Laibow Recommends What to Do About Radiation
You need a water filter, wherever you are on this planet (even without radiation). I personally like the carbon filters best, because you can still operate them without electricity, using a hand pump.
(In severe cases one could filter the water also additionally through healing earth which removes close to 100% of radioactive particles.)
Many recommend reverse osmosis as the best solution to remove radioactive particles, but I am still having severe doubts if this kind of dead & uninformed water can be good for us at all, but I agree that radioactive particles are of course a trillion times worse.
You can remove some topsoil, setup greenhouses and grow some fresh herbs and vegetables if possible.
You can purify your rain water in case you have huge greenhouses by filtering it through a self-made soil filter (the soil has to be renewed from time to time) which removes about 100% of radiation.
Your own spring would be best of course.
You can stock up on superfoods like amaranth and quinoa that were harvested B.F. (Before Fukushima).
Wheat, spelt, white rice, beans, lentils, peas etc. last many years if you store them in air and water tight barrels (you can get them cheap on ebay or even cheaper from companies who transport products like Aspirin in plastic bags, because they use these barrels just once!). Additionally you can make use of oxygen absorbers. Don't try to store brown rice, oat or walnuts.
Buying foods from far away countries may not be environmentally friendly, but it may safe you from a lot of radiation until all of us together have created a different planet.
These are just some suggestions for you to start your research on the internet.
On Fukushima:
The Japanese elite puppet government has made it difficult for us to find any solutions, because it must have intentionally chosen not to intervene, leaving out all other possible options to wind down Fukushima.
All the experts say that the situation now is totally unprecedented and that we are in uncharted territory.
And the Japanese government and TEPCO are still talking about 'cold shutdown'.
The situation has become totally absurd.
I am not sure if this solution would work, but it shows you how desperate the situation has become:
Fukushima Now Equal To 50 Plus Chernobyls & 3,000 Billion Lethal Doses Of Radiation (Veterans Today)
The Solution, Then and Now, has Changed
World famous theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku caught the world's attention on a March 18, 2011 CNN broadcast when he suggested the Prime Minister of Japan immediately choose the "Chernobyl Option" for the Fukushima Daiichi General Electric reactors.
Kaku said the Japanese PM should order the Japanese Air Self Defense Force to bomb the reactors into submission with boron, sand, water and concrete like the Red Army did to kill the out-of-control Chernobyl reactor on orders of USSR President Gorbachev. Boron absorbs neutrons, the radioactive heart of the reactors.
The time for Dr. Kaku's "Chernobyl Option" has passed. Multiple explosions destroyed the reactors and the swimming pools holding old reactor cores weeks ago. Hundreds to thousands of tons of burning highly radioactive reactor cores are scattered all over the Fukushima Daiichi site. The reactors are releasing as much as a Tepco (Tokyo Electric Power Company) measured 10 Quintillion (10,000 Trillion Bq) radioactive counts per second of deadly radioactive smoke particles into the Earth's atmosphere.
The invisible, killing Radioactive Smoke is already all over the Northern Hemisphere and everyone in it – each and every one – is radiologically contaminated. The scope of Dr. Kaku's once brilliant former solution is unfortunately, now too small and ineffective.
Generally speaking, most Radiation cannot escape into the atmosphere if it is covered by water. Honshu, Japan is an island and the Pacific Ocean is conveniently located nearby.
Subsidence charges from multiple nuclear weapons buried by drilling rigs 500 ft (152.4 meters) below and inland of the string of six reactors must be engineered to slide the reactors into the sea. This method works best if there is igneous or volcanic rock behind the subsidence charges, to "bounce" the blast and pressure wave from and "push" the trashed reactors area of the beachfront into the sea.
Specially equipped submarines can then pick up the pieces of reactor cores from under water. The surface of the ocean blocks the escape of radiation. The submarines must work fast to limit killing more of the Earth's Oceans.
Veterans Today calls on President Obama to authorize the disposal of the six reactors at sea and the collection of the deadly radioactive metals with submarines. We conclude there are no other options left.
The "Do Nothing Option"
The "Do Nothing Option" allows the deaths and maiming of many millions of people to rapidly proceed. Doing nothing, by default, allows the Fukushima Kill to ruthlessly continue unabated. Doing nothing is also not acceptable from a practical standpoint; because, Japan does not own the nuclear weapons to use themselves.
Nuke the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi right into the sea, Mr. President.
On Germany:
Germany is ruled by Bilderberg Merkel. So here we have another elite puppet government.
The 'advantage' of Germany is that it has experienced Chernobyl and the following government cover-ups.
The people know that they have been lied to before!
Many people know that they still better not eat mushrooms especially from the Bavarian Forest and wild boars are still over the legal limit, which was only set after Chernobyl to have a way to tell people that there food is safe, when it is totally contaminated.
But don't think that all Germans are aware.
(It is also true that there is a new trend on this planet – I would call it a very old trend that is now going to its extreme – according to trend forecaster Gerald Celente and that is that 'People Don't Want To Know'. They really rather die.)
Former German military officers are aware that in case of a CME and the possible following loss of electricity Germany would face HUGE problems in shutting its reactors down, because many of them are so old and it takes much, much longer to get them into cold shutdown than the new ones (which still doesn't mean that they are safe as you know). So maybe TPTB know that solar cycle 24 will become violent eventually (because of Nibiru)???
Again, I do not know the answer to all those questions.
I personally can't tell you IF we really have to expect even more disaster coming from Planet X (Nibiru, Nemesis) than what we are already experiencing right now on this planet.
Some say that all the actions of the elitists (financial crisis, earthquakes, Fukushima, 9/11 etc.) are not only orchestrated to create their New World Order but to distract us from the real danger, which is Planet X, so that they can go into hiding when Planet X arrives without us being much alarmed over these bunkers and their sudden disappearance:
RT: Russians to Build 5000 Bomb Shelters in Moscow by 2012
Former Governor Jesse Ventura – Secret Underground 2012 Base at Denver Airport
Why have the elitists created those seed vaults? Maybe it is not only because they know that they will contaminate the entire food supply with their GMO agenda:
More Seeds For Doomsday Seed Vault
Investors Behind Doomsday Seed Vault May Provide Clues to Its Purpose (Part 2)
Scientists to capture DNA of trees worldwide for database
African seed collection first to arrive in Norway on route to Arctic seed vault
Hungary to start the world's first wild seed bank
'Doomsday' seed vault opens in Arctic
I personally know of a huge underground complex under and around Fort Lewis, Washington State.
You'll find links about Planet X here:
NASA: Incoming Comet Elenin 3D Orbit Visualization Tool (Elenin Or Is It Planet X, Nibiru, Nemesis, Tyche, Hercolubus?)
Germany is buying electricity from France now. Can we call that an improvement?
Germans are so angry about their government, but they do not really know what to do, like the Japanese who still call on their government for help.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
An NFL opportunity for the career-leading rebounder at Ole Miss was short-lived.
Former Rebels basketball player Murphy Holloway signed a free agent contract with Baltimore just minutes after the draft concluded on April 27 but was cut by the defending Super Bowl champions on Tuesday.
Holloway began to hear from NFL scouts late during the basketball season. His focus turned to football after he attended the Portsmouth Invitational, a college basketball showcase for NBA scouts, and measured slightly less than 6-foot-6.
In discussions with local media prior to leaving for Baltimore, Holloway acknowledged his athleticism as an asset but noted the importance of learning technique and other aspects of playing the NFL.
Those details apparently played a part in the Ravens' quick decision.
In a story posted to the Baltimore Sun's website Monday evening, Ravens coach John Harbaugh spoke of Holloway: "It's a tough adjustment. The thing about Murphy is he's got some skills. He can catch, he can run. He's got nice ball skills. He showed that. He has no problem snatching the ball. The rest of it – just everything from his stance to understanding the plays and all that, the way you move in football – is a little different than in basketball."
The Ravens were not the only NFL team to express interest in Holloway.
other opportunities
In a meeting with local media before leaving for Baltimore, Holloway, an Irmo, S.C., native, said he had no interest in pursuing a lower level of professional football, such as the Canadian Football League. He was also lukewarm to the idea of playing professional basketball overseas, though he did not rule it out.
"Got some decisions to make in these next few days," Holloway wrote on his Twitter account. "It's good to have options but I hate making (life) changing decisions."

I have struggled mightily to come up with my paean to Gavel. Where to start? He was such a wonderful animal in so many ways. But if ever a dog truly had a sense of humor, it was Gavel. I was brand new to the game when I met him: he was all shiny black coated, big and muscled up, in his prime - and one silly guy, said in the most affectionate way. He had a joy about him that was infectious, no matter what the training or test... or even a set up that required correction.... He would go through the exercise, accept the correction, redouble his effort to achieve what was needed....and then gallop back to the line and onward to Susan's truck as if he was saying "well, that's done and over, and I'm good with that..... but now where's lunch?"
I always thought he would be the perfect poster child for the company that makes all the "Life is Good" clothing and gear.
That was Gav's motto and should be his epitaph: "Life is Good".
And he made "Life is Good" for me, just to know him. My heart truly aches that he's gone. It was an honor to feed him a home-made "sammich" a few weeks ago when we took him on a little pheasant hunt in Wisconsin and give him that thrill (of the bird hunt, not the baked ham & cheese on multigrain) while he could still enjoy it.
I just wish he was around so I could make him one more "sammich"......
God speed Gav, God speed. When it's my time to break free of these earthly tethers, the only place I want to go to is one where you, Chance, Nate, Aggie and all the rest are there to greet me. If that doesn't happen, there is no Heaven. Of that I am sure.
Very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful dog and a wonderful journey the two of you shared. RIP Gavel.

I am so glad I found this forum!
I am getting into hunting late... I am 44 and this will be my first hunt of any kind. I have in-laws that hunt, and I got the fever, and figured I would start with Turkey. I bought my Mossy 500 in December and started to get familiar with her. I was lucky enough to get a late season zone 2 tag for May 8-14. My wife gets a kick out of me because I now have camo, a basic blind, decoys, calls, and about 500 rounds of various ammo, with 100 of it being Horniday Turkey #5.
I am taking hunter safety and all the 10 year olds in the class make me feel old, but I am glad I am doing it as I am learning so much about the sport I am growing to love.
I have found some nice MFL/VPA land that is a nature center/conservancy foundation in Lyons (about 30 minutes from me) that looks promising from he road and Google earth pics. I have been trading emails with the agent for the trust that holds the land and even though I didn't have to I did ask for permission and for a map, and also made a small donation to their barn roof restoration fund as a voluntary thank you.
So in the next couple of weeks I want to head in and just sit/scout and see what I can hear. Less than a month to go and I cant wait!
I am also now more interested in fixing up my old boat for fishing and possibly pheasant and deer in the fall. I think that for years I had an outdoorsman inside that was stifled by stress, long work hours and a bad marriage. Better job, new supportive wife and family/friends to encourage who also hunt and fish help to stoke the fires. I am glad I am now doing this, just too bad it took this long.
Anyhow (if you are still reading) Thanks to all that post here that have given me help and ideas. Is there a better location in SE Wisconsin that I could/should be looking for land/birds?

AutoWeb pay-per-click ad startup to expand in Detroit, begin hiring
A Miami-based automotive advertising startup is expanding in Detroit with the launch of its pay-per-click ad platform.
AutoWeb Inc., at 2051 Rosa Parks Blvd., is hiring account managers and account executives in the city, said Angel Gambino, founder of The Alchemists Collective LLC, an economic development firm working to build business in Detroit.
The new hires (a specific number wasn't disclosed) will complement the management team it's building in Detroit, Gambino said.
AutoWeb also hired Elizabeth Hanft as director of accounts. She's a former account manager at Google Inc. and Autotrader.com.
Gambino said AutoWeb may relocate its headquarters in Detroit in the future.
The startup service, founded in 2013, analyzes Web traffic and adjusts advertiser costs accordingly. It also presents automotive ads only to Internet users who have engaged in automotive sales searches, such as entering a make, model and ZIP code on a site.
"AutoWeb recognizes that connecting the right advertisers and consumers at the right time and in the right context is fundamental to creating a quality online experience," Bollenbacher said in a statement.
AutoWeb is designed to drive more targeted consumers and deliver high ROI, he said.
The startup is funded by a $2.5 million from California-based online marketing firm Autobytel Inc. It's expected to invest another $2.5 million at a later date.

Mesenteric venous thrombosis is a blood clot in one or more of the major veins that drain blood from the intestine.
Mesenteric venous thrombosis is a clot that blocks blood flow a mesenteric vein, one of two veins through which blood leaves the intestine. The condition interrupts the blood supply to the intestine and can result in damage to the intestines.
Mesenteric venous thrombosis has a variety of causes. Many of the diseases that lead to this condition cause swelling (inflammation) of the tissues surrounding the veins, including:
Patients who have disorders that make the blood more likely to stick together (clot) have a higher risk for mesenteric venous thrombosis. Birth control pills and estrogen medicines increase your risk of this condition.
A CT scan is the main test used to diagnose mesenteric venous thrombosis.
Other tests may include:
Blood thinners (most commonly heparin) are used to treat mesenteric venous thrombosis when there is no associated bleeding. In some cases, medicine can be delivered directly into the clot to dissolve it. This procedure is called thrombolysis.
Less often, the clot is removed with a type of surgery called thrombectomy.
If you have signs and symptoms of a severe infection called
How well you do depends on the cause of the thrombosis. Getting treatment for the cause before the intestine has died can result in a good recovery.
Intestinal ischemia is a serious complication of mesenteric venous thrombosis. Some or all of the intestine dies because of poor blood supply.
Call your health care provider if you have severe or repeated episodes of abdominal pain.

"Hey Ladies", same guys, same album.
So I've decided to make an experiment out of this, because there a mountain of pros and cons on both sides. Examples: MP3s don't take up any resources except electricty while Used CDs are actively recycling. Used CD sales don't pay artists for their work, while MP3s are easily pirated.
I've perused Amazon and picked up all 4 Beastie Boys albums I don't have, as used CDs. Each one had to have original packaging in some condition, and be under $4 with shipping. I spent a total of $13.05 with shipping for the 4 albums, 2 of them should be here on Tuesday.
Once I get them, the question will be: are they readable discs, is their packaging in acceptable condition, will they get here in reasonable amounts of time, and will I have a place to put them once they do? (Currently, my CD tower is full and has jewel cases stuffed in the top, so this one is already "no" but how much it matters is the goal IMO.)
I suspect I'll get at least 75% acceptable ratings here, but I do think the near future of media purchases are going to be digital rather than physical, and once the useless labels and studios and publishers are bypassed, pricing will go down on new product to make digital piracy not as commonplace.

|We're still having those snowy spring days, so I recently made this soup again.
White Bean Soup with Ham and Rosemary
(Makes about 8 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
2 cups dry white beans (soaked 8 hours or overnight, then drained)
2 quarts chicken stock (or 2 quarts water with 2 T chicken stock base. I like Better Than Bouillon Organic Low Sodium Chicken Base.)
1 tsp. dried thyme
1-2 cups finely chopped celery
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cups finely chopped ham
1 envelope Goya brand ham flavor base (optional)
about 2 additional cups water
1-2 T finely chopped fresh rosemary (or less if you're not that crazy about the flavor of rosemary. You could use dried rosemary if you grind it.)
2-3 T finely chopped fresh parsley (or use 1 T dried parsley)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
When the beans are softened, remove ham rind (if using), season soup to taste with fresh ground black pepper and serve hot. This freezes well, so you may want to make a double batch and put some into individual containers to take to work for lunch.
