http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaturalNews NaturalNews (formerly Newstarget) is a website operated by Mike Adams. It is dedicated to alternative medicine and various conspiracy theories,[2] such as "chemtrails",[3] the alleged dangers of fluoride in drinking water,[4] (as well as those of monosodium glutamate[5] and aspartame) and alleged health problems caused by "toxic" ingredients in vaccines,[6] including the now-discredited link to autism.[7] It features guest authors such as anti-vaccinationist Joseph Mercola, and anti-vaccinationist and conspiracy theorist Jon Rappoport, and has featured interviews with Russell Blaylock, Sandor Katz, and others.
This article isn't Japan, but it brings out a couple of new facts about the recent New Mexico incident in the news: 1) 6 barrels actually exploded (I thought they just leaked) and many more may. 2) There is an annual "wildfire season" at the location (great choice of locations). http://bigstory.ap.org/article/officials-eye-6-barrels-tied-nuke-dump-leak

That article is against Scott Walker, so I don't know why you cited it (even in the right thread). I got into Counterpunch looking for material for the Scott Walker thread after I wrote that I'd use a more biased site, but found little and then went to the World Socialist League or whatever it's called. Meanwhile, I found a new Fukushima article in Counterpunch and posted it above.
I'm not for Scott Walker. I'm for the will of the voter. I think he's on the right side of the government union issue, but not so much on many of the other positions I've seen him take. The article is fair. Unlike the one in the opening post.
Fish caught off the coast of Oregon have tested positive for radiation and the researchers that discovered this say Fukushima is to blame. An Oregon State University (OSU) research project found that radiation in albacore tuna has been steadily increasing ever since the nuclear disaster back in 2011, with average radiation levels now triple what they were before the consecutive meltdowns. A team led by graduate research assistant Delvan Neville first began collecting tuna samples back in 2011 and ever since, has been collecting more to make comparisons. Based on what they observed, levels of radioactive cesium in the fish have increased by roughly 300 percent since the project first began, a direct result of radioactive bioaccumulation in the fish over time. "You can't say there is absolutely zero risk because any radiation is assumed to carry at least some small risk," admitted Neville, who works in the OSU Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics. Neville insists that the levels detected in the fish are so small that a person receives more exposure from other normal activities like sleeping next to another person, for instance, as humans emit radiation from the natural potassium-40 inside their bodies. But once again, this assumption fails to take into account the effects of concentrated doses of ingested ionizing radiation, which can have profound health effects. According to the researchers, radiation was detected in all areas of the tuna's bodies, including in the loins, carcass and guts. Older fish were also determined to have higher levels of the damaging radionuclides than younger fish, suggesting that the older fish may have traveled across the Pacific Ocean and back several times, each time exposing themselves to more radiation. Radioactive water from Fukushima will be 10 times stronger when it reaches US, say scientists At the same time, other scientists are worried about the continued drift of radioactive water coming from Fukushima, some of which is expected to impact the West Coast. Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences warned earlier this year that when radioactive currents finally reach our shores, it will not be pretty. A study published recently in the journal Science China Earth Sciences predicts that "pockets and streams of highly concentrated radiation" will soon hit the West Coast, covering the entire North Pacific and stretching as far south as Baja, California, in Mexico. This same study also anticipates that these elevated radiation levels will persist for at least a decade.

Looks like an enormous Mudpuppy. I've seen them in the Collowash and Clackamas rivers. Very secretive. http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/amphibians/mudpuppy/
Thanks. I believe I've seen one near the Clackamas River years ago. I thought it looked a bit like a salamander at the time.
That must be one of the Japanese giant salamanders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_giant_salamander

Oh well, when the Republicans have their way to change the climate, all Americans will move to Canada anyway. It's only a 9° increase by 2100, and this happened thousands of years ago, so what's the big deal? http://www.climatecentral.org/wgts/CityFutureTemps/index.html
