More Problems With The American Wastewater Reconstruction Project In Iraq’s Fallujah
The largest remaining U.S. reconstruction project in Anbar is known, and that is the Fallujah Wastewater Treatment plant. It was supposed to be a model for the entire province, but it may never operate, marking the disappointing reconstruction legacy the Americans are leaving behind in Iraq.
'Water - Wealth and Power' contains a link to a Common Dreams piece on infrastructure destruction - Iraqi water supply - caused by sanctions. But 'reconstructing Fallujah' is wry for another reason
from the 'Uranium' file....DU munitions. Here's a new - and ugly - recap. Meanwhile Turkey has dammed the rivers and restricted water flow...during drought.
Study: Fallujah’s health fallout ‘worse’ than Hiroshima, Nagasaki
A 2007 study by Chemical Research in Toxicology similarly found depleted uranium particles to be cytotoxic and clastogenic to lung cells in particular.It was first introduced on the battlefield during the Gulf war in 1990, and has been used in U.S. armor and munitions ever since. It was widely suspected as the culprit in the numerous cases of Gulf War syndrome. According to USA Today, soldiers reported becoming "unusually fatigued, and others said that their joints ached. They experienced headaches, rashes and hair loss, and their memories occasionally failed them. In some cases, the symptoms were severe enough to require hospitalization."

We can save $78 billion by ending oil and gas subsidies
what does all that money go toward? And aside from a broken climate and oil spills, what exactly does it buy? ( Pollution. )
Fossil-energy companies get tax exemptions, free access to drill on public land, special accounting rules to hide profits, protection from foreign competition through import tariffs and regulations ... and the list goes on. We give so many favors to oil and gas companies that it's hard to keep track. Luckily, the determined wonks at Taxpayers for Common Sense have done it for us. The charts below tease out the biggest oil and gas subsidies hidden in various laws and accounting rules for 2011-2015. With more than $55 billion in targeted benefits for the industry and nearly $23 billion in general business subsidies, it's nothing to sneeze at.online.wsj.com
Companies have stepped up layoffs to a level not seen in nearly a year, squeezing the job market and revealing fears about the pace of the economic recovery.

Don’t dam Atlantic fisheries to extinction
Over at The Atlantic, writer Paul Greenberg (of Four Fish fame) touts another alternative: dismantling the long-standing network of prominent river dams that have far outlived their usefulness.
If this sounds familiar, it's because the Clinton administration began a dam-destroying campaign back in the '90s (you know, back when anything seemed possible!). That effort led to the dismantling of 430 dams since 1999, according to this New York Times 2009 editorial.
Greenberg quotes a Connecticut state official who refers to these centuries-old dams as "ticking time bombs" susceptible to destruction by powerful hurricanes, which are happening more often in our warming climate. Taking these dams down would actually improve public safety.

Cannabis plant extracts can effectively fight drug-resistant bacteria.
The compounds, called cannabinoids, appear to be unaffected by the mechanism that superbugs like MRSA use to evade existing antibiotics. Scientists from Italy and the United Kingdom, who published their research in the Journal of Natural Products last month, say that cannabis-based creams could also be developed to treat persistent skin infections.

July 28th, 2011 at 7:29 am One thing I have learned about Tobis is his unwillingness to actually read analyses that he might find challenging, but this doesn’t stop him from disparaging those analyses. Both The Hartwell Paper and The Climate Fix (the latter in explicitly quantitative fashion) discuss stabilization targets, and these are part of the background to the analyses he now, incorrectly describes as without a target.
Here even is a widely-cited paper that explains quantitatively why the current approach cannot work with respect to the exact same targets:

ANONYMOUS is not a group, it is an idea. Born as a little spark on the internet, it made its way to real life and evolved to a global movement. In order to keep growing, it is necessary to spread the idea as far as possible. And here Youtube comes into pl...ay. It is one of the largest and wellknown websites for sharing news and personal opinion with millions of people from all over the world. ANONYMOUS knows this and for that reason, it uses Youtube since the early days of the movement. The goal is to reach those willing to educate themselves, those being sick of their governments telling lies and misusing their power, those willing to defend free speach around the internet and of course, nontheless those who just want to know more about this mysterious thing they heard about on the news or read about in newspapers or blogs. So please help us spread the word by sharing this page and post every video related to ANONYMOUS, their operations and/or useful guides or tutorials (internet-security, protesting, creative stuff, etc). Get involved. Share, discuss and help the idea become even more powerful. Be part of the revolution...! We are ANONYMOUS... We are LEGION... We do NOT forgive... We do NOT forget.... EXPECT US...!
