An Israeli company called Stemrad has developed a body belt that protects people from the worst effects of gamma radiation. Called the Stemrad 360 Gamma, the belt could be a lifesaver for the emergency services in a nuclear accident.

Oren Milstein, the co-founder of Stemrad, says it’s partially made out of lead and is designed to first and foremost protect the pelvic area, where most of the body’s renewable bone marrow is made, Reuters reports.   Continue reading “‘Anti-radiation belt’ developed by Israeli firm for nuclear emergencies”

Nothing says “spring” like a plate full of asparagus, dripping with sweet butter. Tender delicious stalks of asparagus are appearing in gardens and farmer’s markets across North America right now.

First, some asparagus trivia…

Asparagus is a member of the lily family.  Historical records indicate the consumption of asparagus in Egypt in 3000 BC.  Ancient Greeks and Romans consumed it fresh and dried it to preserve it for out of season eating.   Continue reading “Fresh from the Garden: Asparagus”

Poor little rich boy Ethan Couch is back in the news again.

You may recall the horrible case last year in which the boy from a wealthy family was prosecuted  for drunkenly mowing down and killing pedestrians while flinging two of the passengers from his truck.  Using the “affluenza” defense, it was said that young Ethan could not be sent to jail for his actions because he was just too darned rich to be punished. An attempt a couple of months later to prosecute him for a related crime reaped no better results, and punishment that included time behind bars was still not forthcoming.   Continue reading “Affluenza Teen’s Parents to Pay Only $1,170 a Month for Rehab that Costs $22,500 a Month”

Folks,

Sorry for the late start this morning. I was up quite late last night, speaking with a number of people very familiar with the situation on the ground at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada, including Stewart Rhodes. Oath Keepers is marshaling support and the following email explains what they are about and gives some instructions for folks attending the protest. They were forwarded to me with the comment: “I just got them in an email from Stewart. Feel free to share as you like. There should be a formal call to action and press release later today.”    Continue reading “Oath Keepers to help with Bundy protest.”

Many Americans expecting to see their tax refunds in their bank accounts soon are waking up to a very different scenario: the government actively intercepting their checks in order to pay back debts they’re not responsible for.

According to a new report in the Washington Post, the federal government is seizing nearly $2 billion from hundreds of thousands of taxpayers this year in order to settle debts, some incurred by their parents, some dating back to more than a decade.   Continue reading “Social Security, Treasury target Americans for their parents’ old debts”

In Pennsylvania, a high school sophomore with developmental disabilities was convicted of a crime after recording classmates threatening to “pull down his pants”.

After being regularly shoved and tripped, and nearly burned with a cigarette lighter, a tormented special-needs student in Pennsylvania decided to take matters into his own hands. He secretly recorded the abuse on his school-issued iPad, and his mother eventually submitted the evidence to the school’s principal. But instead of punishing the teenage tyrants caught on tape, administrators decided to call the police, who threatened the 15-year-old boy with felony wiretapping, but later reduced the charge to disorderly conduct. He was found guilty on March 19.   Continue reading “Special-Ed Student Who Recorded Bullies Accused of Felony Wiretapping”

Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins has caused outrage by remarking that Utahns planning to travel to Nevada to support Cliven Bundy in his standoff against the feds “better have funeral plans”.

The comments were revealed by Darin Bushman, a Piute County, Utah, commissioner after he spoke with Collins about Utah ranchers and his colleagues on the County Commission complaining about tactics used by Bureau of Land Management agents during their seizure of Bundy’s cattle in southern Nevada.   Continue reading “County Commissioner Says Bundy Supporters “Better Have Funeral Plans””

Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary who oversaw the disastrously botched Obamacare website and rollout, has finally resigned. In line with the sheer delusion being invoked to try to call Obamacare a “success,” even this resignation is being called another success story. “Kathleen Sebelius Is Resigning Because Obamacare Has Won,” tweeted the White House (1) — a claim met with sheer derision by nearly anyone who can still think straight.

With Obamacare, all failures are “successes” merely because the White House says so. Even the enrollment numbers are largely faked.(2)   Continue reading “Sylvia Burwell, replacement for resigning Kathleen Sebelius, ran Common Core, Bill Gates vaccines and GMOs in Africa”

Nato, which released the photographs, claimed the military forces could invade within just 12 hours if given orders from Moscow.

The photos have provoked a furious diplomatic row between Nato and the Kremlin, which claims they were taken last year.
