RADIATION IN JAPAN
Written by: Donald Hank (link)
The media will probably be using a new term soon: Micro Sievert.
There's been a lot of speculation about radiation from reactor #2 at the Fukushima plant. Here's what NHK Japanese cable TV news said this morning.
They have devised a way to spray water from the ground with high pressure fire trucks. Very impressive. The aim is to keep down radiation. They have no other means at this point.
This short article will help you understand the radiation levels at the plant:
The article says exposure to 1000 Micro Sieverts/hr will cause serious injuries. 6000 causes death.
Just before the fire department sprayed the water they measured a level of about 3,400+ Micro Sieverts at reactor #2, which has been almost completely destroyed.
After the spraying, the level was 3,900+.
In other words, there was only a negligible change in the radiation level, which is still dangerous at the plant.
So unless another technique is found, the level will possibly hover indefinitely around a figure that can cause serious health problems in that vicinity. That means people working at the nearby still-functioning reactors may be exposed to serious levels of radiation. Realistically, there probably could be no power generating operation there.
The good news is that, like light (a form of radiation), radiation levels decrease exponentially the further one gets from the source.
This means that people in Tokyo are fairly safe for now. As for the US receiving exposure, I would say it is hardly a concern at this point.
I watch for at least an hour a day and have not heard any experts suggest a different method for reducing the radiation level.

THWART THE LIBERAL JUDGE AND GIVE NOTICE AND VOTE AGAIN!
Wis. judge blocks union law from taking effect
A Wisconsin judge has temporarily blocked the state's new and contentious collective bargaining law from taking effect.
The ruling was handed down this morning by Judge Maryann Sumi in a lawsuit filed by Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne.
Ozanne contended a legislative committee that broke a stalemate that had kept the law in limbo for weeks met without the proper 24-hour notice required by Wisconsin's open meetings law. A separate lawsuit that Sumi will also consider alleges full Senate's vote on the law was improper.
The Republican-controlled Legislature passed the measure last week and Gov. Scott Walker signed it into law on Friday. Both Walker and Republican leaders insist it was enacted properly.
The law can't take effect until it's formally published by Secretary of State Doug La Follette, a Democrat. He has 10 days after the governor signs a law to publish it, and he has said he plans to use all the time allotted to him before doing so on March 25.

Taipan Daily: The Middle East Will Erupt in a Giant Fireball

It's going to go very badly in the Middle East. Things are going to get worse and worse until, more or less, the entire region erupts in a giant fireball.
There is no pleasure in saying this. The consequences will be awful, and widespread. But honestly it is hard to see, now, how the situation could play out any other way.
In Libya, Gadhafi's forces are winning. Rebels are being systematically flushed out and executed as the West dithers.
As of this writing, the West seems to be playing the situation in the worst manner conceivable: Getting involved vocally and logistically just enough to make Gadhafi furious, without doing enough to stop his victory.

Dems: We Don’t Present Budget Issues Well
According to Beckel the Democrats need to make the spending cuts specific and relevant to people. The republicans just say "cut" and don't care how it affects people.
Ha ha, Beckel is such a comedian! How is this Mr. Beckel? We (the USA) are broke, BROKE. Is that specific and relevant enough for you? NO? Okay, how about "there isn't enough money to pay for everything because we are BROKE" Is that better?

Obama, Gates to leave Washington for official visits as Libya crisis deepens
Hope he’s taking Michele and the girls, get in some relaxed shopping, enjoy the fall weather. ~Bob. Excerpt: As war clouds gathered over Libya on Friday, the U.S. commander in chief and his defense secretary were each preparing to leave Washington to visit places far removed from any military operations. President Obama was due to depart Friday for Brazil, the first stop on a five-day tour of Latin America that will also take him to Chile and El Salvador. Meanwhile, Pentagon chief Robert M. Gates was scheduled to fly Saturday to Russia, where he will spend three days in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

SOMEONE MUST INFORM OBAMA THAT DENIAL IS NOT A RIVER IN EGYPT!

Southern Invasion: Time to Militarize the U.S.-Mexican Border?
Solutions are available--if DC has the Will
The southern border is open and the political hacks in DC want it that way. Maybe it’s time to militarize the southern border and take the guesswork out of it? RidesAPaleHorse has a few suggestions concerning the details.
I guess I’ll start out by stating the usual caveat that I don’t have anything against immigration. LEGAL immigration. What I have a problem with is ILLEGAL invasion. Now, I know that there are some that will read this and still not get the point so I’ll just accept the barbs and personal attacks, “racist”, “bigot” etc. etc. yaddayaddayadda………….. and forge ahead.
IS OBAMA TOTALLY DENYING TREATIES WITH BOTH ISRAEL AND JAPAN? IS HE DEMANDING CONCESSIONS NOT INCLUDED?
Written by Donald Hank with Link submission:
The article from FedUpUSA that I just now forwarded contained a quote and a link to a source that no longer seems to link to the story -- about the US basing its support on dismantling of the remaining reactors and generators at the crippled Fukushima plant. (It is possible that BBC has pulled the story). However, there are other sources on the internet and they seem legit (see link below).
To give you some background, there is now a regime of rolling blackouts in Northern Japan incl Tokyo.
That means trains are partly disabled, all manufacturing is disrupted, people are without heat and light for long grueling stretches during the day. Food is short, shops are running low of supplies. It is Japan's worst disaster since WW II.
