The average person requires 7 -10 hours of sleep per night according to the National Sleep Foundation. But is it possible that using different sleep cycles, where the benefits of sleep are still achieved, we can sleep less? Much less? Most of us are familiar with what is called a monophasic sleep cy...

When I was secretary of labor, we cracked down on unsafe and inhumane sweatshops here and abroad by invoking a little-used law that prevented “hot goods” made illegally from being shipped to big retailers. It worked, at least until the George W. Bush administration decided to go easy on the retailers. Lesson: They won’t change their ways until the law threatens their bottom lines. Fast-forward to April 24, when 1,129 people died in a factory collapse at Rana Plaza near Dhaka, Bangladesh. Reports show other factories in Bangladesh are equally dangerous. These factories supply many of the clothes Americans buy from Walmart and the Gap. So what are America’s biggest clothing retailers doing about this? Urging their Bangladeshi suppliers to change their ways. But American retailers are refusing to join with 72 other big clothing retailers from around the world in an “Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh” – that includes factory inspections, boycotts of factories that don’t measure up, and safety training for employees – and which is legally binding.

American retailers explain they’re not joining the Accord because they don’t want to be legally bound. “If you have to find $10 million for factory safety and put aside another $10 million for lawyers, you will really start to suck the energy out of this,” says a Walmart executive. Baloney. Court rulings have watered down the Alien Tort Claims Act so much American retailers need not worry about frivolous lawsuits. They’re refusing to join because they don’t want the extra expense of the ongoing inspections and don’t want to have to boycott factories that fail to measure up. The Obama administration should push them to sign up. You and other American shoppers should, too.

I guess it is easy to be one of the most profitable corporations on earth if you never pay for your mistakes. Big boos for Exxon. Never trust an oil man or corporation!

'The long-term plan for rehabilitating damaged resources has yet to be implemented a full quarter century after the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, spewing more than 11 million gallons of crude oil into the surrounding ecosystem. According to documents released today the U.S. Justice Dept & Alaska say they are still waiting for long overdue scientific studies before collecting a final $92 million claim to implement the recovery plan for unanticipated harm to fish, wildlife and habitat.''

''ExxonMobil, the most profitable publicly traded company in the world, has yet to pay up — in fact, they’ve been fighting the claims all along.''

Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), the top Democrat on the panel, argued that collecting telephone metadata under Section 215 of the Patriot Act “can amount to a Fourth Amendment violation” before any use is made of it. “You’ve already violated the law as far as I am concerned,” he told the witnesses.

“I feel very uncomfortable about using aggregated metadata on hundreds of millions of Americans,” Conyers added. “This is unsustainable, it’s outrageous and must be stopped immediately.”

GAS DRILLING ACROSS the STREET?
NO MORTGAGE FOR YOU!!!

The Smiths live across the street from the new gas well. They applied for a new mortgage on their $230,000 home and hobby farm, and Quicken Loans congratulated them on their conditional approval.
"They said all the paperwork will be done by the end of the week and we'll be able to close," Brian Smith said. "Somewhere in there, they called us and said, 'Your loan got denied.' "
In an email, Quicken Loans told the Smiths, "Unfortunately, we are unable to move forward with this loan. It is located across the street from a gas drilling site." Two other national lenders also turned down Brian Smith's application.
Quicken Loans emailed the following statement to Channel 4 Action News: "While Quicken Loans makes every effort to help its clients reach their homeownership goals, like every lender, we are ultimately bound by very specific underwriting guidelines. In some cases conditions exist, such as gas wells and other structures in nearby lots, that can significantly degrade a property's value. In these cases, we are unable to extend financing due to the unknown future marketability of the property."

Another party tip: "GM was touted as reducing herbicide and insecticide use. The herbicide claim has been comprehensively disproved – although GM crops initially used less weed killer, they now use more than comparable farms. However, it is true that GM crops in north America use less insecticide (at least if you ignore what the plant produces itself) than non-GM farms on that side of the Atlantic. However, Heinemann produces figures that suggest insecticide use is falling much faster in France, without GM, than in the US or Canada."

Now in an unprecedented effort to protect Gulf Coast residents, Subra and Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) are about to publish a comprehensive list in plain English that details how much of a particular type of seafood is safe to eat in a given period of time. Wilma says the publication will be species and location specific. That means you will know how much of any particular Gulf seafood you can safely consume.
While U.S. air craft dropped thousands of gallons of toxic dispersants on miles of oil slicks, Wilma Subra says the Food and Drug Administration adopted a list of recommended concentrations governing the continued safe consumption of Gulf Coast seafood. Subra and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network weren't impressed.

"We thought it was much much too little. It allowed people to consume fish, shrimp, crabs and oysters that were contaminated over what we thought was an acceptable level," said Wilma Subra.

Subra who just completed the most extensive testing to date of contamination levels in the entire Gulf says while some levels of chemical contamination have declined others have remained constant and for that reason still pose a potential health threat.

"In the short term you can be at risk for respiratory problems and stomach ailments and in the long term liver and kidney damage and even cancer because some of the chemicals we are finding out there are known carcinogens." said Subra.

The effort continues to censor education and ban Howard Zinn's work, particularly his book A People's History of the United States, from K-12 schools and from college-level teacher training programs. Emails from former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, now president of Purdue University, obtained by the Associated Press through a FOIA request, show that Daniels not only celebrated the passing of Zinn but also worked to get Zinn's work banned. Daniels described Zinn as a "terrible anti-American academic" and this book A People's History as "a truly execrable, anti-factual piece of disinformation that misstates American history on every page."

US Totalitarianism Wins Again As Appeals Court Brings NDAA's Indefinite Military Detention Back

U.S. APPEALS COURT THROWS OUT PERMANENT INJUNCTION THAT HAD LIMITED U.S. GOVERNMENT'S USE OF INDEFINITE MILITARY DETENTION -- COURT RULING

In other words, every legal decision will be binding... until Obama's cronies in the 13 circuit courts of the appellate system get a tap on the shoulder. And good luck with the SCOTUS.

And with that, the time to be on the lookout for black helicopters is back.

Federal Court Permanently Vacates Injunction Against NDAA “Indefinite Detention”

The Second Circuit has permanently vacated the injunction issued by the District Court against NDAA 2012 indefinite detention powers. The case has been remanded to District Court Judge Kathryn Forrest. who originally issued the injunction.

In layman’s terms, Forrest put a stop to indefinite detention, and the Second Circuit overturned that. It also permanently prohibited Forrest from attempting to do so again, ordering her to proceed with the case consistent with their opinion.

NDAA “indefinite detention” powers are alive and well.

US Totalitarianism Wins Again As Appeals Court Brings NDAA's Indefinite Military Detention Back

Back in September we, somewhat naively, penned "US Totalitarianism Loses Major Battle As Judge Permanently Blocks NDAA's Military Detention Provision" in which we said that "in May, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest ruled in favor of a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of the authorization for military detention. Today, the war against the true totalitarian terror won a decisive battle, when in a 112-opinion, Judge Forrest turned the temporary injunction, following an appeal by the totalitarian government from August 6, into a permanent one." Sadly, the "victory" lasted about 10 months. Today, US totalitarianism wins again.
