Radio Frequency Radiation Cancer Risk
Jan. 4, 2012, 2:38 p.m.
Dr. Joseph Bowman has worked for the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for more than two decades. He is a physical chemist by training. His research at NIOSH has focused on the health effects of electromagnetic fields and radio frequency (RF) radiation.
This interview provides a clearly set forth introduction into the subjects of RF radiation exposure and health effects. The cancer endpoint is most fully addressed.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified RF radiation as a possible human carcinogen. According to Dr. Bowman, cell phone use in which the cell phone is placed against the head is a much larger contributor to the possible cancer risk of RF radiation exposure than exposure to sources such as cell phone towers and wireless internet. This is due to the proximity of the emitting device to the head and the quantity of energy emitted by the source.
There is much to be learned about how RF radiation exposure causes cancer. Currently no one knows how the RF radiation from cell phones could contribute to cancer causation. However, a statistical study by Dr. Bowman and others reported that RF radiation exposure measured as energy absorbed at the tumor site is associated with increased brain cancer risk.
Thus, the longer the total period of time that has elapsed during which one has held a cell phone against ones head, the larger the cancer risk which might possibly be imposed. Since our brains absorb far less RF energy from laptop computers and other wireless sources commonly found in homes and offices, these other RF devices add little to the possible cancer risk resultant from cell phone use.
People concerned about the possible cancer risk associated with cell phone use should take steps to reduce the amount of RF radiation that they receive from cell phones.

Richard Grossman: WHEN INJUSTICE IS LEGAL (ONE of TWO)
Jan. 3, 2012, 6:30 p.m.
This program is in remembrance of Richard Grossman, who died of cancer in November 2011. He was one of the great uncompromising, courageous thinkers and activists in the unfolding project to define, limit and abolish corporate power. Ralph Nader called Grossman "the preeminent historian of corporations" and this speech, that Grossman gave at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in November 2006, shows what that meant. Grossman refers to the radical branch of the Abolitionists who confirmed that we are born with inalienable rights that precede the formation of governments, rights that governments are tasked to protect. As with the Abolitoinists in the 1800-reds who determined that slaves could not be free under the existing constitution, anti corporate campaigner also need to re-write the constitution to dismantle the corporate state.
Interviews David Bacon author of Illegal People
Jan. 3, 2012, 6:06 p.m.
We Interview David Bacon author of "Illegal People How Globalization Creates Migration
and Criminalizes Immigrants". David explains the human impact of globalization, exposing the many ways it uproots people in Latin America and Asia, driving them to migrate. At the same time, U.S. immigration policy makes the labor of those displaced people a crime in the United States. Illegal People explains why our national policy produces even more displacement, more migration, more immigration raids, and a more divided, polarized society.
We speak about how inequity creates forced migration and how the Occupy Movement is beginning to address many
of these issues.

Sup, y'alls? I got told today that my lack of appreciation for 'Jack and Diane' and 'Pink Houses' by John Cougar Mellencamp was an indication that I didn't like music with poetry in it. 'Fie on you, Satan!' says I! I'm rebutting that claim with a bunch of tunes/bands I think have the qualities of poetry about them. While still keeping to my regular theme - that's right, we're still gettin' drunk, just like the poet in that X-Cops song - because poetry is always the better for having some form to fight against. So sayeth I.
