Fifty-two people have died and hundreds have been injured in accidents caused by snow in northern and
eastern Japan that has already reached more than four meters deep in some areas, according to authorities.
Respite appears to be some way off--heavy snow is likely to keep falling along the Sea of Japan coast through
Saturday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
According to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, 52 people had died in snow-related accidents as of
Wednesday, 335 had sustained serious injuries and 412 minor injuries.
Thirty-six of the fatalities were people aged 65 or older, and 31 of them died in accidents while
removing snow from roofs or roads.
One house has been destroyed by the snow, while two have been badly damaged.
Some parts of Aomori Prefecture have had more than four meters of snow, while Yamagata and Niigata
prefectures have had more than three meters and Tottori and Nagano prefectures two meters.
The Aomori prefectural government and 12 municipal governments have set up disaster headquarters
to deal with snow-related issues.
In Niigata Prefecture, where heavy snow has blanketed the Joetsu and Chuetsu areas, the
Disaster Relief Law has been applied for seven city governments, including the Minami-Uonuma government.
Under the law, the central and prefectural governments cover a municipal government's snow removal
expenses. The Niigata prefectural government's headquarters intends to set up an extensive support
system that gives priority to local authorities hampered by a shortage of manpower and snow
removal machines.
With many residents already exhausted by days of shoveling snow, the prefectural government will
encourage its officials to take volunteer leave to assist with snow removal. It also will ask companies to
encourage workers to take paid holidays for removing snow.
This year's snowfall is approaching the scale of that in 2006, in which 152 people died.

Heavy snow stalls 100 cars in Aomori
Heavy snow has stranded more than 100 cars on a main road in Aomori Prefecture, northern Japan.
Prefectural officials say traffic has been stalled since Wednesday evening on a nearly 40-kilometer stretch.
The stranded cars include a school bus carrying 6 junior high students. All of them were evacuated to a nearby building.
The prefecture has mobilized about 20 plows to clear snow and free the vehicles.
Aomori Governor Shingo Mimura has asked the Self-Defense Forces to dispatch disaster relief units.

3 dead in avalanche at hot spring in Akita
An avalanche at a hot spring resort in Akita Prefecture, northern Japan, has killed 3 people.
A 40-meter stretch of snow on a mountain slope near Tamagawa hot spring in Senboku city
collapsed at around 5PM Wednesday, crushing 3 structures housing bedrock baths.
3 people who were in the baths--a man and two women--were rescued and taken to a hospital,
but were later pronounced dead.
The structures, which are about a 15-minute walk from an inn, were reportedly buried
under 1.5 meters of snow.
Snow around the hot spring was 2.87 meters deep as of 6PM Wednesday.

Latest images of the bottom of the vessel- from the camera with the wiggly pipe.
The pics are very sparkly. (No human will ever be allowed inside that vessel.)
yay Tepco
TOKYO, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The Tokyo Stock Exchange suffered a major glitch in cash-share trading for the first time in six years on Thursday that prevented morning trade in some 240 shares and instruments, including Sony Corp, and provoked anger among traders.
The trouble, a problem with a server for the data distribution system, meant there was no morning trade in Sony one day after it announced a new chief executive and ahead of the release of quarterly results later in the day.
Hiroaki Uji, director of IT development at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, told a news conference that the exchange was still investigating the problem but ruled out the possibility of cyber terrorism when asked by reporters.
The glitch affected 153 Topix shares, some exchange-traded funds (ETFs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and convertible bonds.

Customs officials refused to say where the dead babies came from or who made the capsules, citing possible diplomatic friction with Beijing.
Chinese officials ordered an investigation into the production of drugs made from dead fetuses or newborns last year.
The capsules were all confiscated but no one has been punished because the amount was deemed small and they weren't intended
for sale, said the customs official, who requested anonymity, citing department rules.
China's State Food and Drug Administration and its health ministry did not immediately respond to questions faxed to them Monday.
Chinese media identify northeastern China as the source of such products, especially Jilin province which abuts North Korea.

The use of drugs, that makes people into psychotic monsters, has been swept under the rug. What you do not see, will not hurt you?
Police look for witnesses of face-chewing attack
May 29, 2012
MIAMI—Authorities in Miami are looking for more witnesses after a police officer fatally shot a naked man who refused to stop chewing
on the face of another naked man -- even after being shot once by the officer -- on a busy downtown highway ramp.
Detective William Moreno said police are looking for people to fill in the blanks on what led to the grisly scene in which a witness reported that a man --
identified by authorities as Rudy Eugene, 31 -- savagely chewed on the other man's face and growled when a police officer kept telling him to stop.
The victim, who has not been identified, has been hospitalized in critical condition.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/a...ce_look_for_witnesses_of_face_chewing_attack/
I had a "Bonfire of The Vanities" moment, a long time ago. I was waiting for the subway cars to show up. Two men were arguing loudly.
Many of the people that I was standing with, had left to go somewhere else. I wanted to leave, but it was very late. I put my Walkman
on, and tuned the argument out. The two men started fighting, and running up and down the walkway. I heard the sound of someone
striking metal. I took my headphones off.
One of the men was banging the other man's head on a bomb-safe trash container. And shoving him away. The injured man would run away,
and return to the other, screaming and arguing. Only to have his head slammed into hard metal. I lost track of how many times this happened.
I happened to look down, and saw a puddle of blood on the walkway. I went into a state of shock. I asked a small group of people standing
next to me, "Is this real?" A man from the group pointed to the two arguing and fighting men, who were at the end of the walkway. There was
a bloody trail, leading up and down the walkway. The subway car arrived, and I left.
PCP, crack, ice, meth, toxic batches of GHB. These drugs have been on the streets for many years. It is common knowledge that these
drugs cause people to do horrific things to each other. That a crack addict can have super-human strength and endurance. That these
drugs can cause people to become psychotic murderers.
Do I buy the story that the girl who wandered into a stranger's home in Colorado, was merely drunk? Margot Kidder and Ann Heche
had their lives fall to pieces, after enjoying party life in Hollywood.
The protectors of America's health did not bother to tell parents that Chinese toys and games had Gamma-hydroxybutyrate in them.
I am sure, that other people besides myself, suspected that this was a way for them to smuggle the drug into our country. That never
stopped. They still sell poisoned toys and games, to this very day.They sell it, until they are busted for it, again and again.
Innocent, until proven guilty, even though the tale never changes, and the crime is repeated, over and over, again. So, where does
that leave the police, who have to deal with the addicts? Fighting a war in their own country. The enemy that they fight, are psychotic
cannibals? Ghouls? Zombies, of a sort?
The message that has been drummed over the communication lines, for as long as I can recall, is that the war against drugs is hopeless.
Zebra that I am, I must return to grazing. I must run with the herd, and play follow the leader.
This gruesome event, reminds me that there are worse things than lions, out there.
The economic conditions of 2012, and attitudes of the ruling class, are not making the situation any safer, or saner.

What did not stay in Vietnam- heroin drug trafficking. What did not stay in the Middle East- khat trafficking. Next- Chemical copy, made in China
khat
"It is not coffee. It is definitely not like coffee," said Garrison Courtney, spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
"It is the same drug used by young kids who go out and shoot people in Africa, Iraq and Afghanistan. It is something that gives you
a heightened sense of invincibility, and when you look at those effects, you could take out the word 'khat' and put in 'heroin' or 'cocaine'."

Bath salts contain manmade chemicals like mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone, or MDPV, also known as substituted cathinones.
Both drugs are related to khat, an organic stimulant found in Arab and East African countries that is illegal in the United States.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/us/17salts.html?pagewanted=all
Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Center, said some doctors had turned to powerful antipsychotics to calm users after sedatives failed.
“If you take the worst attributes of meth, coke, PCP, LSD and ecstasy and put them together,” he said, “that’s what we’re seeing sometimes.”
"MDPV, the active ingredient in "bath salts," increases the body's concentration of adrenalinelike hormones that prepare the heart, muscle tissue and the brain for the "fight or flight" response, explained Thomas Penders, an associate professor in the department of psychiatric medicine at East Carolina University. It does this by stopping neurons in the brain from reabsorbing the chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine immediately after secreting them, as would normally happen. This leads to a steady buildup of these neurochemicals, which
trigger a person's primal survival behaviors."

Paolo Gabriele arrested- spent weeks in isolation in a Vatican security cell and now is under house arrest in Vatican City.
May 25, 2012
The arrest by Vatican gendarmes of a man, identified in news reports as Paolo Gabriele, the pope’s butler, who the Vatican said was in possession
of confidential documents and was suspected of leaking private letters, some of which were addressed to Pope Benedict XVI.
The arrest follows days after the publication of a sensational book, “Your Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI,” written by journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi.
August 13, 2012
Vatican Judge Indicts Pope’s Butler in Leak Case
A judge at the Vatican on Monday ordered the former butler of Pope Benedict XVI to stand trial on charges of taking and then leaking documents
from the Pope Joe Ratzinger's private apartment that raised allegations of corruption at the Vatican.
The accusations, including a charge of aggravated theft, against the butler, Paolo Gabriele, were set out in a 35-page indictment.
Claudio Sciarpelletti, 48, a computer expert, was charged with aiding and abetting a crime. An envelope was found in his desk
containing sensitive material.
The indictment also said that a search of Mr. Gabriele’s apartment at the Vatican had found other purloined items there besides documents,
including a check for 100,000 euros ($123,000) made out to the pope, a golden nugget, and a 16th century translation of Virgil’s Aeneid.
The latest book revealing Vatican secrets- His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI, book written by Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi
Stolen documents- Vatican officials discuss one of the great unsolved mysteries in Italy, the 1983 disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi.
May 14, 2012
"On Monday, police forensic experts pursued yet another lead, exhuming the tomb of a notorious local crime boss at a Vatican church,
where some speculated Emanuela might have been buried. Besides his remains, they found hundreds of other bones in an ancient ossuary
nearby in the crypt. The police said they would test them to see if any might have been Emanuela’s."
"A report in Italy’s Corriere Della Sera several days later said that initial tests on those bones found that most of them were from the
pre-Napoleonic period, but at least 10 bones seem to be more recent and require further testing."
May 15, 2012
"The scene Monday outside the Sant'Apollinare basilica was hectic, with television cameras jostling for views inside the chapel and
the adjacent courtyard of the Opus Dei-run Pontifical Holy Cross University, where forensic vans came and went."
Officials said that De Pedis body was ”well preserved” and that he was recognized by detectives present.
He was still dressed in a dark blue suit and black tie.
His body was inside the last of three coffins and the forensic team lifted his arm out of the casket to take fingerprints,
which were a positive match.
How many boxes of bone could have fit, inside the tomb of Enrico Renatino De Pedis ?
Did the Vatican accept one billion lire (about $660,000) from Enrico de Pedis's widow in 1990, to bury the remains of the mobster
in a basilica, next to various popes and cardinals ? Was Enrico de Pedis so hated, his corpse had to be protected from desecration ?
The count of boxes of bones is now up to 200.
May 25, 2012
"A scapegoat has been found," the pope's personal secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, quoted Gabriele as saying two days after
he was arrested for the illegal possession of secret Church documents.
Gabriele's lawyer has said he acted alone, but Vatican experts and the media have speculated that the butler is a pawn of a power struggle
between cardinals, with many suggesting Vatican Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, the pope's right-hand man, is the intended target.

The arrest by Vatican gendarmes of a man, identified in news reports as Paolo Gabriele, the pope’s butler, who the Vatican said was in possession
of confidential documents and was suspected of leaking private letters, some of which were addressed to Pope Benedict XVI.
The arrest follows days after the publication of a sensational book, “Your Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI,” written by journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi.

Vatican Judge Indicts Pope’s Butler in Leak Case
A judge at the Vatican on Monday ordered the former butler of Pope Benedict XVI to stand trial on charges of taking and then leaking documents
from the Pope Joe Ratzinger's private apartment that raised allegations of corruption at the Vatican.
The accusations, including a charge of aggravated theft, against the butler, Paolo Gabriele, were set out in a 35-page indictment.
Claudio Sciarpelletti, 48, a computer expert, was charged with aiding and abetting a crime. An envelope was found in his desk
containing sensitive material.
The indictment also said that a search of Mr. Gabriele’s apartment at the Vatican had found other purloined items there besides documents,
including a check for 100,000 euros ($123,000) made out to the pope, a golden nugget, and a 16th century translation of Virgil’s Aeneid.
The latest book revealing Vatican secrets- His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI, book written by Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi
Stolen documents- Vatican officials discuss one of the great unsolved mysteries in Italy, the 1983 disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi.
May 14, 2012
"On Monday, police forensic experts pursued yet another lead, exhuming the tomb of a notorious local crime boss at a Vatican church,
where some speculated Emanuela might have been buried. Besides his remains, they found hundreds of other bones in an ancient ossuary
nearby in the crypt. The police said they would test them to see if any might have been Emanuela’s."
"A report in Italy’s Corriere Della Sera several days later said that initial tests on those bones found that most of them were from the
pre-Napoleonic period, but at least 10 bones seem to be more recent and require further testing."
May 15, 2012
"The scene Monday outside the Sant'Apollinare basilica was hectic, with television cameras jostling for views inside the chapel and
the adjacent courtyard of the Opus Dei-run Pontifical Holy Cross University, where forensic vans came and went."
Officials said that De Pedis body was ”well preserved” and that he was recognized by detectives present.
He was still dressed in a dark blue suit and black tie.
His body was inside the last of three coffins and the forensic team lifted his arm out of the casket to take fingerprints,
which were a positive match.
How many boxes of bone could have fit, inside the tomb of Enrico Renatino De Pedis ?
Did the Vatican accept one billion lire (about $660,000) from Enrico de Pedis's widow in 1990, to bury the remains of the mobster
in a basilica, next to various popes and cardinals ? Was Enrico de Pedis so hated, his corpse had to be protected from desecration ?
The count of boxes of bones is now up to 200.
May 25, 2012
"A scapegoat has been found," the pope's personal secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, quoted Gabriele as saying two days after
he was arrested for the illegal possession of secret Church documents.
Gabriele's lawyer has said he acted alone, but Vatican experts and the media have speculated that the butler is a pawn of a power struggle
between cardinals, with many suggesting Vatican Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, the pope's right-hand man, is the intended target.
June 19, 1982
The body of a top Italian banker has been found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London. His secretary Teresa Corrocher was found dead in Milan.

"$2.97 million has already been paid to the Australian Rain Corporation, the company that owns the technology known as ATLANT."
The ARC was established (with a Swiss partner) by Sydney millionaire Matt Handbury - the nephew of Rupert Murdoch, friend of Turnbull.
"Strong reservations" of the two scientists who carried out the independent review for the National Water Commission - Ken McCracken,
the former head of the CSIRO Office of Space Science, and Neville Fletcher, Emeritus Professor of Physical Sciences and Engineering at
the Australian National University - who reported that "it appears that the ATLANT mechanism cannot operate in the way described".
Is it not something strange/funny about the shape of the structure, that they chose ?

Series of temblors causes minor damage in Imperial County; one quake reached 5.5
The swarm began late Saturday night with a series of small quakes on the Brawley Fault Zone, east of San Diego. The region
produced a 5.3 quake at 12:31 p.m. Sunday, then a 5.5 shaker at 1:57 p.m. In an apparently unrelated event, there was a 2.0
quake at 2:55 p.m. Sunday in Julian.
Sunday’s swarm of small quakes is not unusual, especially along the Brawley Fault Zone, seismologists said. Dollar noted that
since 1932, there have been 15 earthquakes there measuring 5.0 to 5.9, and one that measured over 6.0.
“The Brawley Fault Zone is very active seismically, but it is unusual to have two 5.0-plus quakes occur so close together in time.
We’ll have to watch to see what happens,” said Tom Rockwell

Before my time. But not before the time of the people who survived World War II. How strange, that no one mentioned this,
when the subject of 9/11 was part in the current news chatter. Another 9/11 Anniversary is approaching.
George W. Bush punished our ears with that phrase ? 911 911 911
The Day A b-52 Bomber Hit The Empire State Building
On July 28, 1945, residents of New York City were horrified when an airplane crashed into the Empire State Building, leaving 14 dead.
The collision killed Capt. William F. Smith, two others on the plane and 11 people who worked inside the building.
Eight months after the crash, the U.S. government offered money to families of the victims. Some accepted, but others initiated a lawsuit
that resulted in landmark legislation. The Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946, for the first time, gave American citizens the right to sue the
federal government. (For something an individual does when under orders from the government.) Still valid in 2012.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92987873
Season 10, Episode 3
On Saturday, July 28, 1945, fog obscured the Empire State Building. Moments after a warning from air traffic control, Lt. Col. Bill Smith
crashed his B-25 Bomber into the 78th and 79th floors of the skyscraper, killing 14 people and igniting fires.
Contributor Irv Atkins says his father Louis came home from work the Monday after the crash with a piece of twisted metal he says was
sitting in his office amid his broken windows. Even though his office was south of the crash site, and the plane smashed into the north
side, the Atkins family has always believed this was a piece of the B-25 bomber that flew into the Empire State Building.
An aluminum piece from the B-52 fuel door was found and saved.
http://www.wgbh.org/programs/History-Detectives-27/episodes/-29692
The damage looks eerily like the damage done to the Twin Towers of 9/11.
The debris from 1945 crash was moved and "lost." The report about it was "lost."
Hiroshima was nuked on 6 August 1945
Nagasaki was nuked on 9 August 1945

Once again, I do not "know" what I am looking at- The Christian Right is using frauds and fakes, to tell people what they want to hear
Oooo! Scarey! Boogeymen from the Middle East want to kill us!
Fifty-something Lebanese American, Kamal Saleem is making a good living, after he claimed to be saved by Christianity. The only full- time employee
of Koome Ministries in 2009, tax records show Saleem earned $48,000 from the ministry that year. He had a $39,000 expense account. Koome took in
nearly $100,000 in donations and grants.
Not a bad living, when you can scoop up $ 13,000.00 lecturing about how much Muslim terrorists hate Americans.
(Who's lecture at University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee ? ”Palestinians keep Jewish testicles and breasts in jars.”)
"Many of Saleem's tales that don't stand up to scrutiny. Saleem's original name was Khodor Shami—and that for more than a decade before
outing himself as a former terrorist he had worked for Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network and James Dobson's Focus on the Family.
(CBN declined to comment. Focus on the Family confirmed Saleem was an employee but would not comment further.)
Kamal Saleem has a pal, Walid Shoebat, who also has a ministry- Shoebat Foundation. His stories do not hold up under examination.
(Shoebat says that he has an advantage in combating Islamic extremism because he was a former PLO terrorist
in Palestine. Yet his cousin Daood Shoebat refutes that claim)
Liddy guest Walid Shoebat falsely claimed that Obama is "definitely a Muslim"
http://mediamatters.org/research/2008/09/11/liddy-guest-walid-shoebat-falsely-claimed-that/144967
WTF?!?!
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/articles/monitoring-america/6/
A book expanding on what Shoebat and Montijo believe has just been published by the Center for Security Policy,
a Washington-based neoconservative think tank. "Shariah: The Threat to America" describes what its authors call
a "stealth jihad" that must be thwarted before it's too late.
The book's co-authors include such notables as former CIA director R. James Woolsey and former deputy undersecretary of defense
for intelligence Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, along with the center's director, a longtime activist. They write that most mosques in the
United States already have been radicalized, that most Muslim social organizations are fronts for violent jihadists and that Muslims
who practice sharia law seek to impose it in this country.

Now, we have a bunch of fake frauds making a cheap ass film in California- that results in J. Christopher Stevens death, and others.
All with Christian ties. Send crucifixes, lawyers, guns and money ?

Today, they were showing people trying to put precious evidence of the past, back together.
How many museums, were destroyed during the tsunami ? So little, survived the centuries.
So sad, that they did not survive a disaster.

1950 UFO memo to FBI Director Hoover details claim of alien bodies
Mar 27, 2013
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has broken its silence on the most popular file in its digital vault.
The one-page memo, dated March 22, 1950, was addressed to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover from Guy
Hottel, then head of the FBI's Washington, D.C., field office. It relayed some information from an informant.
The subject:
FLYING SAUCERS
INFORMATION CONCERNING
The file, published by the vault in April 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act, has been viewed nearly a million times,
the FBI said, in part because media outlets "erroneously reported that the FBI had posted proof of a UFO crash at Roswell,
New Mexico [in 1947] and the recovery of wreckage and alien corpses."
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/fbi-ufo-memo-guy-hottel-151647542.html
Ever since, Orson Wells did the scifi broadcast October 30, 1938....
(We had an Orson Wells movie theatre in Cambridg MA. Got sold in the 1980s.

GRABOVO, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine said a passenger plane carrying 295 people
was shot down Thursday as it flew over the country.
-Boston Globe
Un avion avec 295 personnes à son bord, dont au moins 4 Français, a été abattu dans la région de Donetsk. Kiev et les séparatistes prorusses s'accusent mutuellement.
http://www.lemonde.fr/

Selon l'agence de presse Interfax-Ukraine, l'avion a été abattu par un missile sol-air alors qu'il volait à près de 10 000 mètres d'altitude dans la zone aérienne de la région de Donetsk. D'après l'administration régionale, le lieu du crash se situe non loin de la ville de Chakhtarsk. Le journal Korrespondent rapporte que des décombres se trouvent près du village de Grabove. Les deux sont dans une région contrôlée par les séparatistes prorusses, en guerre depuis plusieurs mois avec l'armée ukrainienne.

They are sticking to the idea that Japan will host the Olympics ? I find it hard to believe that all the problems associated with Fukushima, will be sorted out by 2020.
