Dr. William Suk, NIEHS on WHO "Persistent Organic Pollutants: Impact on Child Health" -Scientific Knowledge Supports Worldwide Effort to Minimize POPs Exposure

Beginning in the first part of the 20th century, industrialized economies throughout the world have released into the environment a group of chemicals referred to collectively as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These releases have gradually led to global food supply contamination. Evidence of serious harm resultant from POPs exposure has been accumulating in the scientific literature for several decades. In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a report titled, "Persistent Organic Pollutants: Impact on Child Health". This WHO public health policy guidance document calls for a worldwide effort to minimize the exposures that children receive to POPs. Dr. Suk provides background on the genesis of this report. He answers the highly important question, "What must be known about exposure to a chemical substance or a group of chemical substances and disease outcome before the public health system decides that exposure to the substance or group of substances constitutes a health hazard?" It is the existence of a large body of scientific knowledge describing serious damages to health that brings consensus among public health professionals that exposure to a substance or group of substances must be viewed as a health hazard. Such a body of scientific knowledge now exists for POPs. I ask Dr. Suk what he thinks about prioritizing populations residing in the vicinity of POPs contaminated Superfund Sites for first efforts in POPs exposure minimization educational outreach by governmental public health entities. He states his agreement with this strategy. Dr. Suk goes on to express his belief that the WHO is the right agency for conducting this type of educational outreach. Cancer Action NY is currently working with the National Center for Environmental Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry sister agencies of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop POPs exposure minimization educational outreach to populations residing in the vicinity of POPs contaminated Superfund sites. We are making steady progress and look forward to beginning to create much increased awareness on the subject of POPs exposure minimization in populations at several Superfund sites, including: upper Hudson River Superfund site, GM Powertrain Superfund site and the Titawabassee River Superfund Site. The effort to minimize the quantity of harm to human health that results from POPs contamination of the global environment is taking shape and Cancer Action NY is taking a leadership role in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Conversation Network is showing itself to be a wonderful conduit for this work.

Communism

Since the beginning of time, the collective has always been at odds with the individual. As the smallest minority on Earth, the individualist has been constantly challenged by both the difficulties of overcoming his circumstances as well as being constrained by gaggles of mindless zombies comprised of various flavors. These zombies will follow any despotic train of thought provided that they are sufficiently convinced enough that the junk ideology invented by their vampiric overlords seems beneficial to them, even if it is in fact detrimental to their individual welfare. The beauty and wealth of the world is being systematically destroyed by bad ideas. Our guest tonight in Philo, who is a monetary reform theorist. Tonight, we will be discussing Communism as it is practiced here in America as well as some recommendations for how to counter it.

"Watershed" Moment with James Redford

Named for the rich red dirt that once colored its rushing waters, the Colorado River has been dammed, diverted and drained to a trickle of its former self. Host Alex Wise recently watched the documentary film Watershed which provides the story of the Colorado River through the voices of its beneficiaries, from a flyfisherman to a rancher to a Navajo council member. The film is narrated by Robert Redford, and today on Sea Change Radio we have a chance to talk with James Redford, who worked alongside his father as one of the film’s producers. He explains how lessons from what’s happening to the Colorado River can help inform conservation efforts around the globe, and why he believes this important film can enable the formation of a new water ethic.

Legit Rape-Drone Kills-NATO

REPUBLICANS TRAMPLE WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS Missouri Representative TODD AKIN's breathtakingly phallocentric arrogation of women's abortion rights in cases of "legitimate rape" [sic] may not even be the worst of it: The RNC platform committee is now codifying anti-choice language. Akin is, thus, within the Republican "mainstream." AUDIO: Akin blurts about "legitimate rape"; "apologizes" in a campaign ad; and joins his patron MIKE HUCKABEE, who actually praises post-rape births; JODI JACOBSON, president and editor-in-chief of "RH Reality Check" [ rhrealitycheck.org , twitter.com/jljacobson ], discusses the health, legal and political issues of feminism, rape, choice, and phallocentric Republican policy; Sweet Honey in the Rock - "I Remember, I Believe"; US DRONES KILL MORE CIVILIANS THAN "HUMAN RIGHTS" GROUPS SAY Investigative journalist GARETH PORTER, author of "Cover-Up of Civilian Drone Deaths Revealed by New Evidence" [ truthout.org , ipsnorthamerica.net/_authors/gporter.php ], debunks the Obama administration's classification of Pakistani drone victims as "combatants," and challenges stenographic reporting of US-policy-compliant "human rights" organizations. NATO AS GLOBAL MILITARY NEOPLASM RICK ROZOFF, director of "Stop NATO" [ rickrozoff.wordpress.com ], deconstructs President Obama's press conference statement that Syria's "moving" of chemical stockpiles would be a "red line" for US/NATO military intervention, and assesses the jihadi "contra" campaign originating from the Incirlik US/NATO base at Adana, Turkey; and Body of War - "Masters of War".

Frackin' Baobabs

"The Little Prince by Antoine de St. Exupery is a short novel for both the young and old, somewhat of a classic, especially if you’ve take a couple of years of French. The tale opens as a pilot struggles in the empty desert with some mechanical difficulty that has downed his small plane. In the middle of this big nowhere, The Little Prince walks up behind him and strikes up a conversation. This miniature guy has traveled the solar system, visiting asteroids and planets, absorbing his experience with such a perfect innocence that the harried pilot is jolted over and over again by the wisdom of the Little Prince’s stories...

The Music of Wes Anderson Films

There are a million reasons why people love or hate Wes Anderson film's but one thing I think we can all agree on is that the music found in his films are as memorable as any script, actor performance, or eye candy captured by his camera. In short, the music of Wes Anderson films are as powerful and meaningful as the movies themselves. People tend to give Anderson or his co-writers all the credit for these soundtracks but in truth there are two other men who truly deserve the applaud for the bulk of his work: Mark Mothersbaugh (score composer and yes, the guy from Devo) and Randall Poster (music supervisor - my hero!).
