Baby Joseph Maraachli Receives Tracheotomy Today at U.S. Hospital | LifeNews.com.
One Canadian death panel decision has been averted with Baby Joseph’s transfer and treatment in a U.S. hospital.
It will remain to be seen if there is further help available to treat his neurological disorder, which has not been well characterized or explained in media reports.

It appears that the approved yearly permitted radiation dose for workers at the Fukushima plant has been jacked up to the level that the shuttle astronauts are permitted to take per mission.
Japan wouldn’t need to ban all the food from the farms near Fukushima. A lot of the radioactive contamination has short half life. The produce would become edible after some time in the can or freezer, even if initial levels are too high for immediate consumption, after washing. (When the glow starts to go, chow down.) Moving food and processing it will be a much bigger job than usual in some of these areas.
The radioactivity in the water found in Tokyo is below safety limits thus far.
In the AM of today, some smoke is rising from the spent fuel storage of reactor 3 at Fukushima Daiichi, and the workers have scooted out of there for a bit.
Wouldn’t you know it, the Fukushima Daiichi data is being amassed at Wikipedia. It’s a starting point for learning about this, not the final word, and the article even indicates this at the top. The wiki piece is pretty comprehensive and appears to be infinitely more useful than the garbage coming out of the media.
This timeline at Wikipedia is being kept current.
Dane County judge halts collective bargaining law – JSOnline.
Maryann Sumi, a Wisconsin District Court judge in Dane county has temporarily halted promulgation of the new law curtailing collective bargaining by public employee unions.
Hope she likes having her decisions overturned, because that’s what’s going to happen if she rules against the validity of the law.
Judge Sumi is a waste of tax dollars.
Nuclear Panic has caused extra deaths. Nursing home staff ran off, leaving 128 elderly to die.
The Mail from the UK brings you the pictures. Check out their story, above, which underscores the problems of the elderly, who are holed up in shelters in cold conditions, without their prescription meds.
More chill pills to treat Nuclear Panic are below.
From the International Atomic Energy Agency, here’s the latest on actions at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants. Daichi reactor 4′ fuel had been unloaded.
From the Nuclear Energy Institute:
“Site radiation doses have been decreasing since March 16. Radiation dose rates are fluctuating based on some of the relief operations, such as adding cooling water to the used fuel pools. Recent readings at the plant boundary are about 2 millirem per hour. Radiation dose rates at reactor 3 range between 2,500 and 5,000 millirem per hour.”
Learn about background radiation, and what have been considered acceptable occupational levels of radiation (varies with occupation). This info comes fom the MIT News, but it’s not news.
Federal occupational standards allowed 5000 millirems per year for those working with radioactive sources. That which is allowed for astronauts is much higher : 25000 milliremgs (cosmic radiation) per space shuttle mission.

Bis Sis, who caused radiation exposure with her full body scanners, is now needlessly checking for radiation from Japan.
No job loss for a city bus driver in Albuquerque, New Mexico to show up for work drunk! He gets a suspension of 20 days and counseling for the first offense.
The case in this video is more complicated because the breatholyzer test was supposedly done incorrectly. Imagine, suspension with pay and counseling. Would you fare so well on your job if you showed up trashed? If not, you NEED to JOIN a public employee UNION! 😉
U.N. okays military action on Libya | Reuters.
Looks as though Europe is worried about its oil supply and is ready to bomb for stability in the Middle East.
Apparently other Arab states are joining in, and actually requested UN intervention to stop daffy Qaddafi’s push against the Libyan rebels.
The UN actually beat the US to a decision, but only could do this because Obama’s in charge.
Note who beat them all to the punch, but, of course she’s not in charge.
Risks from radiation low in Japan but panic high – Yahoo! News.
The above headlined article comes from AP…. FINALLY. After enough commentary from people who know better, reporters and editors from AP produced a respite from the media efforts to kill more people through the production of baseless fear.
Yes, shutting down power plants causes deaths of people who have become reliant on such things. The U.S. media, by feeding anti-nuclear panic has, up to this point, been serving as the death-panel of the “greenies”.
Undaunted, the Obama administration will throw millions of tax dollars into causing more damage by encouraging and funding the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Japan.
Anti-radiation drug is a hot, and useless, commodity in US.
You could take profitable advantage of stupidity this week.
People are listening to the media misinformation about the Fukushima nuclear power plants, and are buying up potassium iodide, in their panic.
Potassium iodide addresses only extreme exposure, specficially to radioactive iodine. It is not useful for all age groups. People in the U.S. are intending to take the drug in response to tales of radiation plumes coming from Japan.
‘There’s a sucker born every minute.’
The media is responsible for marketing a useless product in the U.S. Who could fault a good capitalist for taking advanatage of a ready-made profit opportunity? Anbex and Fleming are two companies to check out.
Sharron Angle jumps into Nevada congressional race – Yahoo! News.
If at first you don’t succeed……..
Sharron Angle would be a good addition to congress. Without union ballot box stuffing in Nevada, she would have beaten Harry Reid in the 2010 senate race.
