  Radiation
    Feds say contaminated tissue holders may have been sent to more than 20 states, including NY - The Washington Post
      "If someone has one of these, they could receive a small radiation dose from it," he said. For example, he said someone keeping one of the boxes on a vanity in the bathroom and spending about 30 minutes a day near it for a year would receive the equivalent of a couple of chest x-rays.

    Conversion disorder - PubMed Health
      Conversion disorder is a condition in which a person has blindness, paralysis, or other nervous system (neurologic) symptoms that cannot be explained by medical evaluation. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Conversion disorder symptoms may occur because of a psychological conflict. Symptoms usually begin suddenly after a stressful experience. People are more at risk for a conversion disorder if they also have a medical illness, dissociative disorder, or a personality disorder. It is important to understand that patients are not making up their symptoms (malingering). Some doctors falsely believe that conversion disorder is not a real condition, and may tell patients the problem is all in their head. However, these conditions are real. They cause distress and cannot be turned on and off at will. The physical symptoms are thought to be an attempt to resolve the conflict the person feels inside. For example, a woman who believes it is not acceptable to have violent feelings may suddenly feel numbness in her arms after becoming so angry that she wanted to hit someone. Instead of allowing herself to have violent thoughts about hitting someone, she may experience the physical symptom of numbness in her arms.
    Cause of Epidemic in Le Roy is Hush-Hush. Are "The Le Roy Twelve" Really Victims of Vaccine-Injury? | VaxTruth.org
      It is entirely possible that those health department officials have "ruled out" Gardasil because adverse reactions to this vaccine have been "shown to be no more frequent in those who received the vaccine than in those who received the placebo in clinical trials.
    OT - Leroy 12.. Gardasil much!?? - None/Select/Delayed Vaccinations - BabyCenter
      My cousin is one of the girls. Once I heard what was going on with her I asked my dad if he knew if she had received the gardasil shot recently. He knew nothing about the shot or what it can do. So he called my Uncle and guess what? She had just had the third dose when her symptoms were so bad she could no longer walk. So far all of her doctors and specialists have denied that there could be any relationship. Rediculous. and worse her parents, according to my dad, had no idea that gardasil could lead to any of those symptoms. Sooo glad I looked into vaxing when I did and stopped with my ODS and do not vax my other children. I can't believe this is news you all have heard of!
  SOPA/ICANN
    ICANN chief Beckstrom says he will go in July 2012 * The Register
      He notably presided over the launch of the "internationalized domain names" programme, which gives top-level domains in non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic and Chinese, to various national authorities. He also oversaw the introduction of the DNSSEC security standard to the domain name system's root system a year ago, and the approval of the new generic top-level domains programme this June. But Beckstrom regularly came under fire for the way in which ICANN was perceived to have been managed, in particular for the fact that many senior staffers quit or were fired over the last two years. ICANN was seen as tardy in replacing key personnel, while at the same time making a few curious hires, such as the secret appointment of a self-help guru as vice president, which did not go down well in the ICANN community. This criticism came to a head at ICANN's public meeting in San Francisco this March, during which its staffing priorities were questioned by, among others, .uk chief Lesley Cowley, who has made the topic one of her pet policy peeves.

      ICANN says it is looking for "public interest-minded individual with a combination of financial management, diplomatic and organizational skills". The successful candidate will have "excellent management and leadership skills, positive and steady personality" and a "solid record of public, corporate, and/or academic experience at high international level". He or she will have to be committed to "integrity, trust, humility, technical excellence and public service". The salary is described as "commensurate with the scope and importance of the position". Rod Beckstrom, who intends to leave ICANN in July, is known to receive a base salary of $750,000 and bonuses that have bumped his total take-home to over $800,000.
    ICANN hires weight-loss guru as vice president | DomainIncite - Domain Name News & Opinion
      Elad Levinson, a psychotherapist with a distinctly Buddhist bent who has previously specialized in weight loss, joined the organization in early January as Vice President for Organization Effectiveness. He's been on the payroll as a consultant since May 2010, according to his LinkedIn profile and other sources, but only joined ICANN as a full-time VP two months ago. ICANN currently has only about a half dozen vice presidents. The most recent to be officially announced (pdf) was noted cryptographer Whitfield Diffie, now VP of information security. Unlike Diffie, Levinson did not get an announcement when he joined ICANN. Two months after joining the organization, he's still not even listed on the ICANN staff web page.

    Rent the Acropolis for just $2000 a day | Gadling.com
      Desperate times require desperate measures. That seems to be the mantra coming out of Greece these days, where the country has gone from debating whether or not it should lease out the Acropolis to just how much they should charge. Yesterday, the Greek cultural ministry announced that it will begin renting some of its most well known, and iconic, archeological sites, starting with the Acropolis itself, for about $2000 per day.
    DutchNews.nl - Finance minister to open international financial tribunal
      Finance minister Jan Kees de Jager will on Monday open the new international financial tribunal in The Hague which will mediate in disputes about complicated financial products. The tribunal's secretary-general Gerard Meijer told Nos television there is great demand for an independent body to examine financial differences of opinion involving financial firms and investors. Both sides in a dispute must agree to let the panel take a case before it can be considered. The aim is to 'facilitate dispute settlement, reduce legal uncertainty and foster stability in the global financial markets,' according to the organisation's website. The panel's official name is Prime Finance - Panel of Recognised International Market Experts - and it will be hosted at the Peace Palace. The tribunal will be able to call on 100 experts to arbitrate or mediate in cases involving derivatives and financial products.
    Rioting in Romania: The battle of Bucharest | The Economist
      "POLENTA doesn't explode" is the gnomic phrase Romanians use to describe the attitude of resigned acceptance typical to the country. But this weekend something snapped. Thousands of people took to the streets in Bucharest and 40 other towns, venting their anger at their leaders' perceived incompetence in dealing with Romania's economic crisis. The centre of Bucharest was hit by violence on a scale unseen in two decades. Traian BÄƒsescu, the centre-right president, is the main target of the protesters' ire. "Get out, you miserable dog" they chanted, as they hurled paving stones and smoke bombs at riot police. Water cannons and tear gas were used to dispel the crowds.
    LONDON PROTEST WITHOUT BORDERS Romanians took to the streets, preparing CANADA
      Google Traducere
      "The Romans in Britain against a manifest powers has never been so cynical and so much directed against its own people. This power has never asked the people if he wants to have the largest debt in the history of the country, public and private debt over 100 billion euros borrowed money in most of the last 3-4 years. If Romania has failed to rebuild with such a hefty sum, it is logical to believe is that people who lead the destinies of the country are incompetent or stole the money. In both cases the solution is only one: Government resignation and the resignation of President who endorsed all measures of austerity that bring people to the streets today.

    Contant betalen wordt veel moeilijker - De Standaard
      'Dit is een stap in de goede richting, maar 5.000 euro of zelfs 3.000 euro is nog altijd veel te hoog', zegt Geert Noels. 'Er is toch geen reden voor iemand die in het officiÃ«le circuit zit, om grote bedragen in cash te betalen. Ik zie niet in waarom bedragen hoger dan 400 euro niet altijd elektronisch betaald zouden moeten worden.' Volgens Noels is het cashgeld-circuit voor een groot stuk het spiegelbeeld van de 'zwarte' economie. En die coulante houding van ons land tegenover cash geld is volgens hem nog altijd de reden waarom BelgiÃ« hoog scoort in de lijstjes van de Oeso over zwartwerk.
    Croatia-EU: Sunday referendum on membership,'yes' vote ahead
      ZAGREB, JANUARY 17 - In preparation for Sunday's referendum on Croatia's EU membership treaty, most political and social forces within the country are in favour of the country's becoming part of the EU, scheduled for July 1 2013. ''Croatia's membership will ensure a solid base to fully use the creative potential of our young country,'' said the country's president Ivo Josipovic, urging citizens to vote in favour of it and noting that exactly twenty years ago on January 15 1992, it had been the European Community of the time to first recognise Zagreb's independence from Belgrade.
    IMF Seeks to Raise Lending Power by Up to $500 Billion Amid Europe Crisis - BlackListedNews.com
      The International Monetary Fund is proposing to raise its lending capacity by as much as $500 billion to insulate the global economy against any worsening of Europe's debt crisis. The Washington-based lender is aiming to increase its resources after identifying a potential need for $1 trillion in financing in coming years, an IMF spokesman said in a statement. The IMF is studying options and will not comment further until it has consulted its members, the fund said. To incorporate a cash buffer, the lender is seeking a total $600 billion. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said yesterday her staff is looking at ways to expand the fund's war-chest, which currently has about $385 billion available. While euro-region nations have already pledged to contribute 150 billion euros ($192 billion), the U.S. has said it has no plans to make new bilateral loans and leaders of Group of 20 nations ended last year at odds over the issue.

      Friends, colleagues gather to remember Democratic strategist Kam Kuwata - latimes.com
        Feinstein, speaking off the cuff, described Kuwata as "a happy warrior, a smiling Buddha," and chastised herself and others for not paying closer heed to his circumstances; Kuwata died alone, of an apparent heart attack, and his body was not discovered at his Venice Beach condominium until about two weeks later.
        "No one knows how. No one knows when. No one knows why," Feinstein said, suggesting that if people had paid closer attention, there may have been some warning sign before Kuwata was stricken.
        The Bin Laden bombshell came at the end of her remarks, drawing audible gasps. Unknown to those in attendance was that President Obama had called a hasty late-night news conference in Washington to deliver the news. When Feinstein spoke, however, Obama had yet to address the nation.
        Feinstein, as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is privy to some of the nation's most important secrets. She was apparently among the top congressional members briefed by administration officials before the president spoke on live TV from the East Room of the White House.
      Feinstein announces ahead of Obama
        Speaking to an audience gathered in Santa Monica last night to commemorate the life of late political consultant Kam Kuwata, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein concluded her praise for her long time friend with a surprise announcement. She said she had to keep a lot of secrets as the chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, but she added, she was going to share one secret. At 7:30 pm tonight, she went on, the president is going to come on television to announce Osama Bin Laden had been killed.
        There were gasps from the audience, and after another sentence or two from the senator, applause. About 200 people attended the event including a number of state and local officials such as Former Governor Gray Davis and state Controller John Chiang.
        Her announcement actually occurred a little after 7:30 pm by my watch, but the president would not get to make his speech for another hour or so.
    Rachel Maddow, MSNBC colleagues score face time with Obama | The Daily Caller
      MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is the president's favorite media hack, judging from official White House visitors log records. The liberal talking head has been cleared to enter the White House seven times. During three of those visits, she met with President Barack Obama in his residence or in the West Wing, usually for TV interviews. She was also cleared to attend a holiday reception, and to sit down for a discussion with Robert Gibbs while he was the White House press secretary. Another record reflects her attendance at a "Biden Beach Boardwalk Bash" last September. The visitors logs offer no mention of whether she got to drive the Veep's Camaro, however. One of her personal visits with Obama was part of a December 2010 cattle call with other left-wing journalists including E.J. Dionne, Eugene Robinson, Ed Schultz, Frank Rich, Ezra Klein and Arianna Huffington.

    NYPD Testing Gun-Scanning Technology - CBS New York
      The NYPD is stepping up their war against illegal guns, with a new tool that could detect weapons on someone as they walk down the street. But is it violating your right to privacy? Police, along with the U.S. Department of Defense, are researching new technology in a scanner placed on police vehicles that can detect concealed weapons. "You could use it at a specific event. You could use it at a shooting-prone location," NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told CBS 2â€²s Hazel Sanchez on Tuesday. It's called Terahertz Imaging Detection. It measures the energy radiating from a body up to 16 feet away, and can detect anything blocking it, like a gun. And the idea is causing quite the uproar on both sides of the privacy issue.

    Politie neemt vingerafdruk af op straat - Nederland - TROUW
      De politie kan binnenkort met een speciaal apparaatje vingerafdrukken afnemen op straat. Dat moet het politiewerk vergemakkelijken en is in eerste plaats bedoeld voor intensievere controle op illegale vreemdelingen. Bij wijze van proef krijgen ongeveer 125 agenten bij verscheidene regiokorpsen zo'n scanner, een soort smartphone, zo heeft het ministerie van veiligheid en justitie besloten. De proef is al begonnen en agenten kunnen via hun Blackberry bepaalde informatie opvragen ter controle van iemands identiteit. In de loop van het najaar zal de vingerafdrukscan in fases daaraan worden toegevoegd. Het apparaatje controleert via een beveiligde koppeling met de zogeheten basisvoorziening vreemdelingenketen, waar vingerafdrukken zijn opgeslagen, of iemand legaal in Nederland verblijft.

    Activist Post: What IAEA reports on Iran's nuclear energy/medicine: how US War Criminal 1% lie
      The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in their inspection role for compliance of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has their November 2011 report in similar misleading language as their February 2010 report. IAEA appears to be under the same political pressure to make a case for war on Iran that we witnessed before US armed attack of Iraq. US corporate media and US political "leadership" will not remind Americans that the US eliminated the UN agency director who would have resolved concerns of alleged Iraq weapons:
      Report details
        B. Credibility of Information
        12. As indicated in paragraph 6 above, among the information available to the Agency is the alleged studies documentation: a large volume of documentation (including correspondence, reports, view graphs from presentations, videos and engineering drawings), amounting to over a thousand pages. The information reflected in that documentation is of a technically complex and interconnected nature, showing research, development and testing activities over time. It also contains working level correspondence consistent with the day to day implementation of a formal programme. Consistent with the AgencyÕs practice, that information has been carefully and critically examined. The Agency has also had several meetings with the Member State to clarify the information it had provided, to question the Member State about the forensics it had carried out on the documentation and the information reflected in it, and to obtain more information on the underlying sources.
        13. In addition to the alleged studies documentation, the Agency has received information from more than ten Member States. This has included procurement information, information on international travel by individuals said to have been involved in the alleged activities, financial records, documents reflecting health and safety arrangements, and other documents demonstrating manufacturing techniques for certain high explosive components. This information reinforces and tends to corroborate the information reflected in the alleged studies documentation, and relates to activities substantially beyond those identified in that documentation.
        14. In addition to the information referred to in paragraphs 12 and 13 above, the Agency has acquired information as a result of its own efforts, including publications and articles acquired through open source research, satellite imagery, the results of Agency verification activities and information provided by Iran in the context of those verification activities.22 Importantly, the Agency has also had direct discussions with a number of individuals who were involved in relevant activities in Iran, including, for example, an interview with a leading figure in the clandestine nuclear supply network (see paragraph 35 below). The information obtained by the Agency from the discussions with these individuals is consistent with the

    BBC News - Inside story of the UK's secret mission to beat Gaddafi
      British efforts to help topple Colonel Gaddafi were not limited to air strikes. On the ground - and on the quiet - special forces soldiers were blending in with rebel fighters. This is the previously untold account of the crucial part they played. The British campaign to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi's regime had its public face - with aircraft dropping bombs, or Royal Navy ships appearing in Libyan waters, but it also had a secret aspect. My investigations into that covert effort reveal a story of practically minded people trying to get on with the job, while all the time facing political and legal constraints imposed from London.

    U.S. News - Inside the secret industry of inmate-staffed call centers
      When you call a company or government agency for help, there's a good chance the person on the other end of the line is a prison inmate. The federal government calls it "the best-kept secret in outsourcing" -- providing inmates to staff call centers and other services in both the private and public sectors. The U.S. government, through a 75-year-old program called Federal Prison Industries, makes about $750 million a year providing prison labor, federal records show. The great majority of those contracts are with other federal agencies for services as diverse as laundry, construction, data conversion and manufacture of emergency equipment.

    International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities
      The long-term sustainability of our space environment is at serious risk from space debris and irresponsible actors. Ensuring the stability, safety, and security of our space systems is of vital interest to the United States and the global community. These systems allow the free flow of information across platforms that open up our global markets, enhance weather forecasting and environmental monitoring, and enable global navigation and transportation. Unless the international community addresses these challenges, the environment around our planet will become increasingly hazardous to human spaceflight and satellite systems, which would create damaging consequences for all of us. In response to these challenges, the United States has decided to join with the European Union and other nations to develop an International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities. A Code of Conduct will help maintain the long-term sustainability, safety, stability, and security of space by establishing guidelines for the responsible use of space. As we begin this work, the United States has made clear to our partners that we will not enter into a code of conduct that in any way constrains our national security-related activities in space or our ability to protect the United States and our allies. We are, however, committed to working together to reverse the troubling trends that are damaging our space environment and to preserve the limitless benefits and promise of space for future generations.
    Australia joins race to defend space
      AUSTRALIA has announced it is backing a European Union push for a new international code of conduct for behaviour in space, following a rise in space junk and the clandestine development of satellite-destroying weapons. The Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, made the announcement yesterday, on the same day the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, declared humankind's involvement in space was at risk from ''irresponsible actors''. While neither Australia nor the US named those actors, secret US diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks reveal a half-decade war of words between Beijing and Washington over what the US describes as China's ''anti-satellite weapons testing program''.

    Iowa Republicans to call caucus result split decision | Reuters
      The Register said the new count put Santorum ahead by 34 votes. However, results from any one of the eight precincts with "missing data" could hold an advantage for Romney, the Register reported. "It's a split decision," the newspaper said, citing a party official in the state. There are too many holes in the certified total from the caucuses to know for certain who won, it said. GOP officials discovered inaccuracies in 131 precincts, although not all the changes affected Romney or Santorum, the newspaper reported.
    Black Box Voting : (USA) 1/12 - GLOBAL INTERNET VOTING FIRM BUYS U.S. ELECTION RESULTS REPORTING FIRM -
      In a major step towards global centralization of election processes, the world's dominant Internet voting company has purchased the USA's dominant election results reporting company. When you view your local or state election results on the Internet, on portals which often appear to be owned by the county elections division, in over 525 US jurisdictions you are actually redirected to a private corporate site controlled by SOE software, which operates under the name ClarityElections.com. The good news is that this firm promptly reports precinct-level detail in downloadable spreadsheet format. As reported by BlackBoxVoting.org in 2008, the bad news is that this centralizes one middleman access point for over 525 jurisdictions in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. And growing. As local election results funnel through SOE's servers (typically before they reach the public elsewhere), those who run the computer servers for SOE essentially get "first look" at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.

    Eiland duikt op uit het niets - De Standaard
      In de Rode Zee, voor de westkust van Jemen, is een eiland opgedoken na een onderzeese vulkaanuitbarsting. Dat meldt de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA. Eind vorig jaar merkte de NASA-satelliet Earth Observing-1 op dat er een mysterieuze rookwolk uit de zee kwam. Amper een week later, op zeven januari, was er al een volledig vulkanisch eiland te zien. Het is niet de eerste keer dat dit fenomeen voorkomt. "Elke paar jaar ontstaat er een nieuw eiland op deze manier", weten experts. Het is echter wel opvallend dat het nieuwe eiland zich zo snel heeft gevormd. De ruimtevaartorganisatie meent dat de landstrook inmiddels 530 bij 710 meter groot is. Het blijft voorlopig gissen hoe lang het eiland het zal volhouden. De meeste eilanden die ontstaan na een onderzeese vulkaanuitbarsting zijn namelijk geen lang leven beschoren.
    Breivik bekent oplichting van meer dan een miljoen dollar - De Standaard
      Een van Breiviks ondervragers verklaarde aan de Noorse omroep NRK dat Breivik zijn diploma's naar eigen zeggen 'zichtbaar vals' maakte. 'Iedereen kon volgens Breivik zien dat ze vals waren. Ze moesten dienen als een plezierig geschenk dat vrienden aan elkaar konden geven', klonk het. Desalniettemin zou Breivik meer dan 1 miljoen dollar aan de vervalsingen verdiend hebben. De Noorse politie vermoedt dat Breivik deze inkomsten gebruikte om te reizen en om zijn aanslagen van 22 juli 2011 voor te bereiden. Noorwegen wacht nu de start af van het proces tegen Breivik. Dat zou op 16 april van start moeten gaan. Eerst moet echter nog een nieuw psychiatrisch onderzoek afgewacht worden dat zal oordelen of Breivik toerekeningsvatbaar is.

    Report: U.K. police officer loses Olympic security documents | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com
      A British tabloid reported Tuesday that it had been handed documents about security arrangements for the London Olympics that were left on a train by a police officer, the latest in a series of embarrassing mishaps involving British authorities misplacing government documents. London police confirmed Tuesday that one of its officers lost a bag containing documents on Jan. 5 and reported it to his bosses, but downplayed the incident, adding that the papers were not "operationally sensitive." "Obviously the loss of restricted material is a matter for concern, but we are satisfied that this does not compromise our security operation for the Olympics," police said in a statement. The Sun newspaper said it received the documents from a passenger who found them on the train, and that it returned them to the police. It says the papers contain accounts of meetings where security measures were discussed, and details of contingency plans for the Olympics. The Sun published an image of some of the documents in its print edition, and described in sweeping terms some of the complaints police had about communications systems.

      I have determined, based upon your recommendation, including the State Department's view that 60 days is an insufficient period to obtain and assess the necessary information, that the Keystone XL pipeline project, as presented and analyzed at this time, would not serve the national interest. Accordingly, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and in furtherance of Executive Order 13337 of April 30, 2004 to the extent compatible with this memorandum, I direct you to submit the report to the Congress as specified in section 501(b)(2) of the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 and to issue a denial of the Keystone XL pipeline permit application.

    Lawyer in WikiLeaks Case Wants to Depose Clinton - ABC News
      A lawyer for an intelligence analyst charged with leaking classified information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks wants to question Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before his client is tried. David Coombs, a lawyer for Pfc. Bradley Manning, included a request to question Clinton as part of a redacted document posted Monday on his website and also sent to Army officials. Clinton's name is obscured in the document, but it is clear from context that she is the person he wants to question. Coombs failed in his attempt to call Clinton as a witness at Manning's preliminary hearing last month. The Army is still deciding whether the 24-year-old Manning, who is accused of causing the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history, should stand trial.
