Cover of Bill ClintonQuestions over how EPA justifies new rules and the science it uses were raised in 1994 under President Clinton when the agency began considering new air quality rules regulating airborne fine particulate matter – i.e., soot and dust much smaller than the width of a hair. It claimed the rules were needed to prevent 15,000 people from dying prematurely every year.
Yet the EPA’s claim about the premature deaths hinged
entirely upon epidemiology (human population) studies that were of
dubious reliability for a number of reasons.
the EPA’s own science advisors asked then-EPA administrator Carol Browner to obtain the raw data so that independent researchers could replicate the studies, she did nothing.

Pathological Liar Clapper Goes on Offense
Like
a cornered rat Director of National Intelligence James Clapper used his
appearance before a Senate Committee on Wednesday to continue his
pattern of deceit. Fully knowing that what is in the documents taken by
Nobel Peace Prize nominee Edward Snowden could send him to prison he is
upping the ante. Clapper is now referring to journalists as
"accomplices" and promoting an imminent terror attack on The Homeland.

A time-line comparison of the rise of Fascism in Nazi Germany and today's United States.
Americans
are seeing their freedoms being cut away, slice by slice, by the govt,
& with each slice, we dispose of fewer means to prevent the next
cut. The corp media condemns Hitler-worshipping hate groups, but appears
not to notice that the NSA, PRISM, FISA, facial recognition, drones,
etc. are techno-logically embellished equivalents of the means Hitler
used to consolidate power with the backing of Germany's industrialists
A
timely--and sobering--reflection on the freak TWO-INCH(!) snowstorm
that paralyzed Atlanta in the light of both the more frequent extreme
weather triggered by climate change and Bible Belt climate-change
denial. The take-home message: climate Armageddon won't descend all at
once, but the road there will be littered with devastating human
suffering. Unless we read the enigmatic climate handwriting on the wall
and REPENT.
Globalization's
big losers are the sectors of the world's population that had decent
incomes, a few notches above average -- the kind of income that allowed
for homes and vacations, but not limousines and villas. It's not hard to
figure who they are; they're the people on the streets in Athens,
Madrid, and Paris, in the state capitol in Wisconsin, and those losing
their pensions in Detroit.
A
letter from Psychologists for Social Responsibility raises key
questions about the American Psychological Association's disturbing
decision to close an ethics complaint against Guantanamo military
psychologist John Leso without formal charges, despite his documented
involvement in brutal detention and interrogation operations.
Assange
had written Cumberbatch a personal letter, pointing out that the "true
story" on which the film claimed to be based was from two books
discredited as hatchet jobs. "Most of the events depicted never
happened, or the people shown were not involved in them," WikiLeaks
posted. In his letter, Assange asked Cumberbatch to note that actors had
moral responsibilities, too.
It's
not just New Jersey. Stories about out-of-control conservative
politicos are becoming as common as celebrity gossip these days. Have
you heard of Michael Grimm? He's the Republican Congressman from New
York who threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony. On live TV. Yup
-- didn't even care that the cameras were rolling.
Before
the nation and the world, President Obama pledges to take "action"
against "economic inequality," while simultaneously holding secret
negotiations on a Trans Pacific Partnership trade scheme that will
quicken the pace of the global Race to the Bottom, deepening economic
inequalities. "Lies of omission are even more despicable than the overt
variety, because they hide.
Edward
Snowden has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by two Norwegian
lawmakers, who say the NSA whistleblower contributed to "transparency
and global stability" by revealing the depth and sophistication of the
global surveillance apparatus.
This
popped up this morning and it is pure historical magic. It's Pete
Seeger's televison show, "Rainbow Quest", from the sixties...I've
noticed over the last few years that the controlled media is now trying
to marginalize and disparage Bruce Springsteen, just as it did Pete back
in the fifties. The torch does pass and the light it casts, shames and
burns just the same.

Barack
Obama may as well have delivered his 5th State of the Union address to
and for the Superstate Oceania, the fictional empire mired in perpetual
war from George Orwell's 1984.
A
day after some three inches of snow paralyzed the country's
ninth-largest city, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed blamed the resulting
gridlock on decisions by schools, business and government to send people
home at the same time. Similar stories unfolded elsewhere in the Deep
South, from Louisiana to North Carolina, as snow, freezing rain and
sleet laid down a sheet of thin ice in a region unfamiliar with such
weather. Motorists set out for home at the first sight of snow, clotting
the streets. Georgia and Alabama were hit especially hard. Governors in
both states declared states of emergency.
Even
though Obama embraces nuclear reactors as part of his
"all-of-the-above" solution to weaning the nation off imported oil and
gas, the world may already be on the brink of phasing out this dangerous
energy source. In the two years following Japan's Fukushima nuclear
disaster, nuclear energy use underwent record declines, capping two
decades of shrinking market share.

Coming to Grips with Global Warming
Coming to grips with global warming starts with being honest about what we're facing and the paradigm that is causing it. Then, we must raise awareness that there is an alternative that can actually improve quality of life, and build the critical mass to begin implementing it.

564
organizations released a joint letter to Congress, opposing fast-track
trade promotion authority. The organizations cover the entire field of
what would be considered President Obama's "base" of supporters,
including consumer, labor, environmental, democracy, family farm,
health, education, human rights and any other kind of people-protecting,
progressive-aligned group.
Prime
Minister of Pakistan, Mian Nawaz Sharif, has announced that his
government would pursue peace talks with Taliban militants despite a
recent spate of attacks. Addressing a session of the National Assembly,
on Wednesday, Nawaz Sharif said "Since the other side has shown
intent to negotiate, we also wish to give peace yet another chance."
The
prediction of the SOTU 2014 dilemma of pushing Fast Track for TPP and a
goal of reducing income inequity was validated on Tuesday night.
President Obama simplistically referred to 98 percent of our exporters
being small businesses, and how new trade partnerships with Europe and
the Asia-Pacific will help them create even more jobs, but continued to
ignore the dark side of the trade equation, i.e. imports and related job
losses.
Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) appears not to have been swayed by
President Barack Obama's State of the Union appeal to Congress to push
through trade deals, declaring flatly on Wednesday that he opposes
so-called fast-track authority for the White House. Fast track, known
formally as Trade Promotional Authority, essentially requires Congress
to give international trade agreements negotiated by the president an
up-or-down vote with no chance for amendments.
German
media giant DW: "Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden talks about his
revelations, industrial espionage and death threats. He says the public
has a right to know what the government is doing in its name - "and what
the government is doing against it". After six months of painstaking
preparation, journalist Hubert Seipel succeeded in conducting the first
television interview with Snowden since his flight from Hong Kong. The
meeting with Snowden, who revealed the massive espionage activities of
the US intelligence agency NSA, took place at a secret location."
A
president can do a great deal to restore balance and fairness in
America -- and around the world. Obama is taking some important steps,
on the minimum wage and a host of other issues. But he has to recognize
that he cannot restore balance and fairness by proposing new free-trade
deals that extend the worst practices of old free-trade deals.

The Tragedy of Lower Wages
For business efficiency the government keeps wages down. Recessions, not extending unemployment benefits, and weak unions cause low wages that boost profits and widen the income gap. Child-labor laws repeal can lead to lower wages.

Obama Comes Out Fighting
Many Democrats were nervous about President Obama's 2014 State-of-the-Union Address. For the past three months -- since the end of the government shutdown -- the President made a series of mistakes and the odds of Democratic 2014 mid-term-election victories diminished. But Obama came out fighting and established seven themes that should help the Democratic cause.

For
more than four years, the Fed has buoyed stock prices and increased
corporate margins through massive injections of free cash into the
financial markets. Now the Central Bank wants to change the policy and
ease its foot off the gas pedal. That's causing investors to rethink
their positions and take more money off the table. The Federal Reserve
is entirely responsible for this new wave of financial instability.

As
President Obama delivered his State of the Union, Republican lawmakers
and conservative pundits took to Twitter with their immediate reactions.
Obama’s discussion of taking executive action outside of Congressional

James
Clapper, the director of national intelligence, has issued a blistering
condemnation of Edward Snowden, calling the surveillance disclosures
published by the Guardian and other news outlets a “perfect storm” that
would endanger American lives. Clapper called on “Snowden and his
accomplices” to return the documents the former National Security Agency
contractor took, in order to minimize what he called the “profound
damage that his disclosures have caused and continued to cause.”

Researchers have come up with a method to convert adult cells into epithelial stem cells, the first time anyone has achieved this in either humans or mice. The epithelial stem cells, when implanted into immunocompromised mice, regenerated the different cell types of human skin and hair follicles, and even produced structurally recognizable hair shaft, raising the possibility that they may eventually enable hair regeneration in people.
