Fukushima Coverup, 40 Years of Spent Nuclear Rods Blown Sky High
In addition to under reporting the fires at Fukushima, the Japanese government has not told the people about the ominous fact that the nuclear plant site is a hellish repository where a staggering number of spent fuel rods have accumulated for 40 years.
It is the spent fuel rods that are the real danger. There is potentially far more radioactive material in those rods, already outside containment, than within the reactors themselves. And while only three reactor cores are damaged, all six of the cooling pools are in varying degrees of trouble.

Grace Filby responds to Australian Government’s Gardasil Information Website
A press release 10.3.11 at http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/218656.php has announced your new official Australian government information site about the Gardasil vaccination programme. From here in the UK, I would like to accept your invitation to provide feedback.
Here is your Side Effects page:
http://www.cervicalcancervaccine.org.au/the-cervical-cancer-vaccine/side-effects.aspxThe page design states in large bold coloured and highlighted quotation marks: “For every million doses of the vaccine given, there are only around 3 serious reactions. These reactions can be treated.” whereas in the text, you state: “For every million doses of the vaccine given, there are only around 3 allergic reactions.”
Without commenting on the actual figures, I have noted the subtle change in wording in the highlighted text to “serious” instead of “allergic” and therefore I consider this is currently a false and misleading claim that needs to be amended. On that page you have not acknowledged the existence of other serious and long term reactions/side effects such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome referred to on the Australian Patient Information Sheet, nor deaths reported. The international evidence of this is on the VAERS database and the SANEVAX website* (see below), to name just two.
It could also be considered misleading and untrue where you state:“A small number of people have had minor reactions.”
A “small number” is a rather woolly understatement when you are addressing millions of girls and young women who have a right and a responsibility to make an informed choice based on accurate information.
Even the Australian CSL Patient Information Sheet describes those minor reactions as “common”.
Regarding your claim “If an allergic reaction does occur, it can be treated quickly and successfully”, this is not the case if the allergy is to aluminium because generally healthcare professionals are not taught about the symptoms nor the antidote. Please find attached, a fairly new scientific review document (2010) entitled “ADJUVANT SYNDROME”. I have already brought it to the urgent attention of the Department of Health and Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation in the UK, and I have been informed that it was discussed in their February 2011 meeting. This paper would explain why your reference organisation, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, found it necessary to include on their website alerts the following about neurological symptoms last year:
The TGA is also aware of a small number of cases in which neurological symptoms, similar to those experienced in patients with a demyelinating disorder such as multiple sclerosis, have been reported shortly after HPV vaccination. http://www.tga.gov.au/alerts/medicines/gardasil.htm dated 24 June 2010
Professor Shoenfeld’s Adjuvant Syndrome paper now reveals a simple reason why these neurological symptoms are occurring, and not just by chance as previously thought by some experts. It is the ALUMINIUM ADJUVANT.
Although the TGA state:No deaths directly linked to the vaccine have been reported in Australia, the USA or Europe
I am sorry to disagree but there are many, many families around the world who have lost their loved ones as a direct result of Gardasil shots, and in their own words, this has got to stop. Is the Australian Government going to ignore those serious injuries and unacknowledged bereavements, in the light of this new scientific paper in world-class autoimmunology?
Therefore I do urge you to reconsider the wording of your brand new website page about side effects.Please also note a very small typing error in the important line on that page about yeast allergy being a risk factor, where you state:
Allergic reaction normally happen within 10 minutes of having the injection, usually if you’re allergic to an ingredient in the vaccine, such as yeast.
It should read “reactions”.For the sake of transparency and public safety education, and in the light of the scientific paper attached, it might be a helpful addition if you specify the ingredients to minimise the risk of harm, e.g.:
People should not get GARDASIL if they have, or have had:an allergic reaction after getting a dose of GARDASIL.
a severe allergic reaction to yeast, amorphous aluminium hydroxyphosphate sulfate, polysorbate 80.

Why is autism so rare among Amish?
Thomas Corriher, from the Health Wyze report:
Photo via Health Wyze Report
The Amish live in a society that consists of outdated technologies and ideals, by contemporary standards. Their diet consists of eating organic, fresh, locally-grown produce, and of course, they do not follow the established vaccination routines.
To the dismay of the mainstream media and the medical establishment, this has resulted in a healthier people, that are void of all of our chronic diseases. Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are virtually non-existent in Amish villages.
Equally non-existent are modern, chemically-engineered medicines, enhanced (chemically-engineered) foods, G.M.O. foods, and of course, vaccines. How is it that those who are without the “miracles” of modern orthodox medicine are healthier? The truth about health, medicine, and how they both relate to the Amish is becoming an embarrassment to some rather powerful people.
There have been 3 (yes three) verified cases of autism in the Amish, and at least two of those children were vaccinated. No information is available for the third. The strong correlation between vaccinations and autism is absolutely undeniable, unless you work for the medical establishment, the government, or Big Media.
Raw milk cowshares spread in Alberta
Judith, Eric, Michael and supporters at the Edmonton court house in February 2011.
The real milk is flowing under the cover of darkness. Hard to find a cow share but more and more people I am sure are starting them. Found one lady who was advertising on Kiijii until I told her that it was not a good idea. I got her a couple of customers from the Slow Food event that I attended.

“MADISON – Less than a year after a bill allowing it was vetoed, raw milk sales are back on the agenda at the Capitol.
State Senator Glenn Grothman is taking another kick at the milk pail, offering legislation to allow for on farm sales of unpasteurized, or “raw” milk. “The last time we did pass this bill, but Governor Doyle vetoed it,” said the West Bend Republican. Continue reading

The mystical beauty of working the land
Here’s a review of a recent book from one of the latest in the long tradition of intellectuals reveling in their fresh infatuation with the charms of farming. Hey, don’t laugh; we need a lot more smart people to take up farming if we want to keep the likes of Monsanto from world domination. If this book can move us in that direction, that’s all for the good. From Stephanie P. on The Ethicurean, from a story titled “Getting Plowed: Kristin Kimball’s captivating ‘Dirty Life‘”:
“….A self-described “snobby urban hedonist,” Kristin was lured to a completely different life and culture in a matter of months by a driven man and the appeal of the hard work of growing food. The gentle buffer offered to her in the transition is the brimming generosity of her new community, from the kinds of people she had probably previously assumed didn’t have much to offer anyone, and the enchantment of what good dirt can bring to fruition with your toil.

Passage of pro-raw-milk law in New Jersey legislature brings out opponents
Anti-raw-milk rants in the media tend to follow a bit of a formula. And this one, from the “Press of Atlantic City.com” is really not that special. Still it shows that where progress is made towards legalizing raw milk access, there will be reaction from factions that would trade off choice for what they purport to be safety. Here are a couple of excerpts:
“…But today, challenging long-held scientific truths is a way of life for many people. They reject vaccines. And, increasingly, they reject pasteurization, favoring unpasteurized, raw milk because of the supposed natural benefits of milk straight from the cow.
Periodically, these folks find a friend in Trenton who sponsors a bill that would end New Jersey’s decades-old ban on the sale or distribution of raw milk. Assemblyman Connie Wagner, D-Bergen, is the latest. And her measure to allow the sale of raw milk in New Jersey was approved by the Assembly last week in a … well, shocking 71-6-1 vote. Continue reading

Edmonton Alberta raw milk trial that was to take place March 23, 2011 is now being postponed until May or June
Raw milk farmers Eric Pudlow, Judith Johnson, and both of them again with Michael Schmidt
Back in February, Michael Schmidt traveled to Edmonton to participate in the court proceedings in support of Judith and Eric only to find that the judge adjourned the case until March 23, ostensibly because the prosecutors had only just received the case documentation a few minutes before the trial and therefore did not have time to prepare the case properly. While Michael was there, he spoke to a gathering of Slow Food supporters from the Edmonton area. Continue reading
Complex science behind food safety
From Scientific American. Thanks to Karen Selick for pointing this out.
Editor’s note: The following is an edited excerpt from a chapter in Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking(The Cooking Lab, 2011), a six-volume set consisting of 2,348 pages of text and photography.
Scientific research on foodborne pathogens provides the foundation for all food safety rules. Generally speaking, two kinds of research inform us about issues of food safety. The first is laboratory experimentation: for example, testing how much heat will kill a pathogen or render it harmless. Data from these experiments tell us the fundamental facts about pathogens of interest. The second kind of research is investigation of specific outbreaks of foodborne illness. Continue reading

P.E.I. bed and breakfast egg story a case of delayed and selective prosecution
According to a recent CBC news story from March 18, a Prince Edward Island couple who operate a small bed and breakfast on the island were visited by a health inspector who forbade them to continue serving meals made with eggs from their own hens. The story goes on to say that the inspectors assert that the regulations behind their action are not new but have been on the books for a long time. The couple, Paul and Jean Offer, are so upset by the whole thing that they are going to close their B&B rather than buy supermarket eggs for their guests.
Perhaps it’s no surprise that the same sort of things go on in other jurisdictions. One Ontario farmer that I know was upset when he first heard several years ago about new requirements for eggs to be graded before being sold to customers, and so he called up the government department responsible for the ruling and asserted that he was going to break the law and that they should come and arrest him. Guess what. They declined to do so. They apparently didn’t want a fuss kicked up when the law was introduced, and the best way they saw to do that was to not enforce it for a while. Now that case was a few years ago, and more recently the enforcement of such regulations has been ramped up. Continue reading

Raw milk and global food shortages
Dave Milano on The Complete Patient blog:
“Not long before the end of forage season last year, I fertilized a small piece of our pasture with milk. (We had extra milk, and I was curious.) I sprayed about 1 gallon of raw milk, diluted with water, onto a half-acre section, twice, two weeks apart.
About three weeks later a few local farmers were visiting and I asked them to take a look at the pasture and tell me what they thought. They noticed immediately that an oddly shaped section seemed to be in better condition than the rest—the part sprayed with milk of course. Continue reading

After the Flood: Pakistan’s humanitarian crisis far from over
A little more than six months ago Pakistan was inundated by the worst floods in living memory. The toll in human suffering was incalculable. Over 20 million people were made homeless or otherwise affected by the deluge. Some 1.7 million homes were destroyed and 5.4 million acres of land damaged. And the humanitarian crisis brought about by the flooding is far from over.In late February, when the residents of Shah Wasaye, a heavily flood-damaged village in Sindh Province, returned home for the first time after spending months in a government-run displaced persons camp, all they found was a field littered with debris. The formerly fertile soil was covered by a thin crust of salt left by receding flood water. No building was still standing. The villagers were forced to erect makeshift tents where their homes once stood.

Personal navigation and re-finding
Jaime Teevan, Dan Liebling, and Gayathri Geetha from Microsoft Research had a fun paper at WSDM 2011, "Understanding and Predicting Personal Navigation", that focuses on a simple, highly accurate, easy, and low risk approach to personalization, increasing the rank of a result that a person keeps clicking on.
The basic idea is noticing that people tend to use search engines instead of bookmarks, just searching again to re-find what they found in the past. But -- and this is the key insight -- not everyone uses the same query to bookmark the same page, so, for example, one person might use [lottery] to get to the Michigan lottery, another to get to the Illinois lottery, and only a minority use it to get to the top ranked result, lottery.com.
So, keeping track of what individual searchers want when they repeat queries, then giving each searcher back what they want is an easy form of personalization that can actually make a significant difference. Moreover, supporting this kind of re-finding is a baby step toward fully personalized search results (and requires the same first steps to build the underlying infrastructure to support it).
Google, Bing, and web browsing data
Google very publicly is trying to draw a particular line on how toolbar and web browsing data should be used, and that may be a dangerous thing for Google to do. The average searcher, for example, may want that line drawn somewhere other than where Google might expect it to be drawn -- they may want it drawn at not using any toolbar/Chrome data for any purposes, or even not using any kind of behavior data at all -- and, if that line is drawn somewhere other than where Google wants it, Google could be hurt badly. That is why I am surprised that Google is coming out so strong here.
