A suit has been brought against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by fired whistleblowers that were concerned over harmful levels of radiation in medical imaging devices for colonoscopies and mammograms. These disapproving scientists were targeted and secretly surveillanced as they reached out to journalists, members of Congress and President Obama about the danger. The FDA monitored and collected data on each of the seven whistleblowers, including information off of work and personal computers, thumb drives, and emails messages line by line as they were being composed in real time....…A suit has been brought against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by fired whistleblowers that were concerned over harmful levels of radiation in medical imaging devices for colonoscopies and mammograms.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is one of the costliest weapons programs in human history, with each plane costing $90 million and the project taking more than a decade to complete. Since the year 2001, the program has nearly doubled in price tag at an overwhelming $396 billion dollars. When you combine the price tag of the program with Government Accountability Office estimated operating and maintenance costs of the planes– the total cost of the program reaches over $1 trillion.Thanks to the decade of delays, the technology in the F-35, once thought to be the best of the best, is now...…The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is one of the costliest weapons programs in human history, with each plane costing $90 million and the project taking more than a decade to complete.

At a time in our history when energy is at a premium, when the Rapid Deployment Force is being developed to protect our “energy interests” in the Persian Gulf, an alternative source of energy, one with unlimited potential, is being discarded. Solar energy is now being phased out.The Solar Energy Research Institute, the federal agency responsible for solar development, is being dismantled. The Institute’s budget was cut in half, its staff reduced by a third, and Secretary of Energy James B. Edwards proposes additional cuts. The Institute was forbidden to finance unsolicited proposals....…At a time in our history when energy is at a premium, when the Rapid Deployment Force is being developed to protect our “energy interests” in the Persian Gulf, an alternative source of energy, one with unlimited potential, is being discarded.

In February 2015, Tim Radford reported for the Climate News Network that atmospheric warming is capable of reaching thousands of meters below Greenland’s massive ice sheet, potentially increasing the glaciers’ rate of flow and creating pools of “meltwater” trapped below the ice. Two separate but related studies confirmed that surface melt can drain down to fill concealed lakes under the ice, ultimately contributing to rising sea levels.A team led by Ian Howat of Ohio State University  “the first direct evidence for concentrated, long-term storage, and sudden release, of meltwater”...…In February 2015, Tim Radford reported for the Climate News Network that atmospheric warming is capable of reaching thousands of meters below Greenland’s massive ice sheet, potentially increasing the glaciers’ rate of flow and creating pools of “meltwater” trapped below the ice.

Nearly half of all US children, including an overwhelming majority of black children, will eat meals at some point during their childhood paid for by food stamps.“If you get food stamps, you are by definition in poverty and your household doesn’t have many assets,” said Mark Rank, a co-author of the study with Thomas Hirschl of Cornell University. “The fact that half of American children at some time during their childhood find themselves in this position really ought to be a wake-up call to America,” Rank said.The study found that 49.2 percent of all American children will at some...…Nearly half of all US children, including an overwhelming majority of black children, will eat meals at some point during their childhood paid for by food stamps.“If you get food stamps, you are by definition in poverty and your household doesn’t have many assets,” said Mark Rank, a co-author of the study with Thomas Hirschl of Cornell University. “The fact that half of American children at some time during their childhood find themselves in this position really ought to be a wake-up call to America,” Rank said.The study found that 49.2 percent of all American children will at some...WW…
