International Complaint Filed by Chickaloon Village Traditional Council
http://news.deltanewsweb.com/news/2011/05/16/international-complaint-filed-by-chickaloon-village-traditional-council/
Chickaloon Native Village and its governing body the Chickaloon Village Traditional Council (CVTC) filed a complaint against Usibelli Coal Mine Inc. (UCM) and Electric Power Development Co., Ltd (JPower) last week with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international multi-country organization... These guidelines cover a range of issues such as labor and human rights, bribery and corruption, environment and information disclosure, and a complaints procedure.
CVTC's complaint under the guidelines addresses Usibelli Coal Mine (UCM) activities at Wishbone Hill, ancestral lands of the Athabascan Ahtna Indigenous Peoples of Alaska. Allegations include UCM's exploratory activity late last year based on permit application information more than 20 years old, not taking into account the dramatic increases in population of the area in recent years, and that pursuant to these stale and misleading permits, UCM built a coal hauling road 100 yards from CVTC's Tribal school, Ya Ne Dah Ah School, prompting safety concerns that were also not considered.

Palmer Coal Awareness Meeting Shows Growing Concern
http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2011/05/palmer-coal-awareness-meeting-shows.html?spref=fb
Monday's public meeting in Palmer, hosted by the Mat Valley Coalition and Alaska Community Action on Toxics was mostly about health issues, which are scary enough to me. There were a lot of young couples there with their very young kids scampering around the Palmer train depot, where about 85 people listened to or participated in the events and presentations.

Canadian Researchers Obtain a Simple Cure for Cancer, but Major Pharmaceutical Corporations Aren't Interested
http://nutritiondietnews.com/canadian-researchers-obtain-a-simple-cure-for-cancer-but-major-pharmaceutical-corporations-arent-interested/853757/
Canadian scientists tested dichloroacetate (DCA) on human's cells; it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells and left the healthy cells alone. It was tested on Rats inflicted with severe tumors; their cells shrank once they were fed with water supplemented with DCA. The drug is widely available and is easy to use, so why the major drug companies aren't involved? Or the Media thinking about this find?

Study: Tylenol, acetaminophen linked to causing blood cancer
http://www.naturalnews.com/032414_acetaminophen_blood_cancer.html#ixzz1MWn8WBra
"We found that high use of acetaminophen, one of the most frequently used medications worldwide, was associated with an almost twofold increased risk of incident hematologic malignancies," said Walter, referring to non-Hodgkin lymphomas, plasma cell disorders, and myeloid neoplasms. "Acetaminophen use on the majority of the days over many years appears to be associated with this new adverse effect." The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) already warns that acetaminophen is toxic to the liver, and is linked to liver failure and other serious problems (http://www.fda.gov/drugs/drugsafety...). Acetaminophen is found in many common drugs, including in Excedrin, Nyquil, and Theraflu. Previous studies have also linked acetaminophen to kidney damage, asthma, and death (http://www.naturalnews.com/acetamin...).

TSA backscatter radiation safety tests were rigged
http://www.naturalnews.com/032425_airport_scanners_radiation.html
It can now be revealed by NaturalNews that the TSA faked its safety data on its X-ray airport scanners in order to deceive the public about the safety of such devices. As evidenced by recent events in Washington, we now live in an age where the federal government simply fakes whatever documents, news or evidence it wants people to believe, then releases that information as if it were fact. This is the modus operandi of the Department of Homeland Security, which must fabricate false terror alerts to keep itself in business -- and now the TSA division has taken the fabrication of false evidence to a whole new level with its naked body scanners (see below).

Liposuction exposed: The fat comes back, but in different places
http://www.naturalnews.com/032413_liposuction_body_fat.html
While fat doesn't return to the same areas - usually liposuction is targeted at the hips and thighs - it does return, manifesting itself around the shoulders, arms and upper abdomen and even your neck, according to the study, which examined 32 non-obese women who had an average weight and were in their mid-30s.
