Certainly, in order for truth to exist, all impacting factual premise must be considered before the truth can be discovered.  Anything less can only be conjecture.  While it is true that the Evelyn Schwartz matter should not and could not  be settled in this forum it is also true that using this forum to describe the injury caused Evelyn for the edification of its participants is a reasonable endevor.  We all need to be made aware of the nature of the illness in our society so that we may navigate around it.  Evelyns story is such a bouy.  The facts, all of the

Interesting how our local government ascertained millions of dollars to demo most of Cleveland's blight and now carpetbagging contractors are in from as far away as Kentucky to do the work while local persons are out of work!

Our great City leadership should be assessing these contracts and soliciting local contractors for this work!

What part of the City of Cleveland planning commission's 2020 vision is helping our lifelong residents?

Pretty amazing what can be done with totally amateur imaging equipment these days.   From the back porch to the computer and then onto the web.

Almost at no cost.  Check out the material tracks out of the crater on the lower right hand side.  Well at least Japan hasn't been hit with a meteor like this.

"Rather than ponder moral questions like, 'Why can't we all get along?' Dr. Page asks practical ones like, 'How can we all be more productive together?' The answer, he suggests, is in messy, creative organizations and environments with individuals from vastly different backgrounds and life experiences."--Claudia Dreifus, New York Times

Welcome to RadiationNetwork.com, home of the National Radiation Map, depicting environmental radiation levels across the USA, updated in real time every minute.  This is the first web site where the average citizen (or anyone in the world) can see what radiation levels are anywhere in the USA at any time (see Disclaimer below).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  - March 18, 2011

Air News Release (HQ): JOINT EPA/DOE STATEMENT: Radiation Monitors Confirm That No Radiation Levels of Concern Have Reached the United States

WASHINGTON – The United States Government has an extensive network of radiation monitors around the country and no radiation levels of concern have been detected.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency RadNet system is designed to protect the public by notifying scientists, in near real time, of elevated levels of radiation so they can determine whether protective action is required.  The EPA’s system has not detected any radiation levels of concern.

In addition to EPA’s RadNet system, the U.S. Department of Energy has radiation monitoring equipment at research facilities around the country, which have also not detected any radiation levels of concern.

As part of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization’s International Monitoring System (IMS), the Department of Energy also maintains the capability to detect tiny quantities of radioisotopes that might indicate an underground nuclear test on the other side of the world.  These detectors are extremely sensitive and can detect minute amounts of radioactive materials.

In the USA we have some people at Walmart that have had pic going around, giving everyone a laugh. Well, here is China's Walmart, and whew, glad I am over here is all I can say. smile

One blogger, Betty Brown, is violating the civil rights of another blogger. In the interest of protecting the first amendment, I have copied and posted the blog, not the comments.

Wanna try to violate my civil rights?

Sadly, a another child has disappeared in NEO--and an AMBER alert is not warranted, because the girl has been deemed a runaway. If you can help with any information, please call Cleveland Police at 911.

Draft Plan EJ 2014 Implementation Plans 

To accomplish the goals outlined in Plan EJ 2014, the EPA developed nine Draft Implementation Plans which will guide agency actions in rulemaking, permitting, compliance and enforcement, community-based action, Administration wide action, science, law, information, and resources. The Draft Implementation Plans outline EPA goals, strategies, activites, deliverables, and milestones for each of the nine areas.

For each of the Draft Implementation Plans, we are asking for feedback from the public on how we can continue to address the issues that are most important to ensuring the protection of the air, water and land that support all of our nation’s communities and will result in environmental and economic health benefits.

An important announcement from the publisher of The New York Times

Dear New York Times Reader,

Today marks a significant transition for The New York Times as we introduce digital subscriptions. It’s an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform. The change will primarily affect those who are heavy consumers of the content on our Web site and on mobile applications.

This change comes in two stages. Today, we are rolling out digital subscriptions to our readers in Canada, which will enable us to fine-tune the customer experience before our global launch. On March 28, we will begin offering digital subscriptions in the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Forecast for Plume's Path Is a Function of Wind and Weather

 

 

 

 

About this data

A forecast by the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization shows how weather patterns this week might disperse radiation from a continuous source in Fukushima, Japan. The forecast does not show actual levels of radiation, but it does allow the organization to estimate when different monitoring stations, marked with small dots, might be able to detect extremely low levels of radiation. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that any plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States.
