why ireland scrapped their voting machines
Bookmarked 709 weeks ago ireland decided this week to scrap their voting machines--like the ones here stored in dublin they039re selling them for scrap metal because they found they were too unreliable and too easy to hack they039d only used them once back in 2002 but that was enough unfortunately america hasn039t learned as quickly as the irish it used to be in america that exit polls were the gold standard to determine if there were shenanigans in an election for over a century we used them and we got very very good at it they almost never deviated by more than a few tenths of a point from the actual electoral outcome and when they did it was a sure sign of fraud such a sure sign that exit polls were used successfully to expose - and then overturn - fraudulent elections in ukraine serbia and georgia polling companies were really good at this and had great success in the election of 1998 when voting machines only recorded 7 percent of the national vote but in the elections of 2000 and 2002 something odd began to happen it was called quotred shiftquot because in certain states where there were a lot of voting machines being used republican candidates did better in the vote the machines reported than in the exit polls in the election of 2004 new york pennsylvania florida and ohio led the charge with a red shift toward george w bush of 276000 votes in new york 228000 in florida 190000 in pennsylvania 169000 in ohio it had started two years earlier in 2002 when voting machines began to appear everywhere across america because george w bush signed into effect a law called the help america vote act or hava that gave billions of dollars to the states so they could buy these machines from private corporations like diebold and esampamps it was the high water point of the privatization of our vote for two centuries our vote was counted by volunteers and government workers overseen by representatives of the political parties that all changed between 2000 and 2004 - now over 90 percent of our vote is recorded or counted in secret on corporate machines and those corporations tell us who one our elections why is it secret because the voting machine companies say they have copyright and trademark quotrightsquot to keep their software and hardware secret from us |

why the media is not reporting the truth on fukushima
Bookmarked 709 weeks ago paul gunter beyond nuclear joins thom hartmann for the first time since before last year039s march earthquake and tsunami - a nuclear reactor in japan is up and running again despite 200000 protesters gathering last week in central tokyo to demonstrate against turning any nuclear reactors back on - reactor number three at the oil nuclear plant in the fukui prefecture in western japan was officially flipped on sunday night - restarting japan039s embrace of nuclear power many of the other 49 reactors that have been shut down since last year - are scheduled to be turned on again later this month but scientists are warning that the plants still haven039t been properly upgraded to withstand a strong earthquake and tsunami - like the one that took out the fukushima plant which is still in the midst of a nuclear crisis last week - record levels of radiation were discovered inside reactor one at the plant a lethal dose of more than 10000 millisieverts an hour was registered in the reactor - that039s ten times more radiation than in reactors two and three according to the operators of the plant - tepco - workers are unable to enter the site due to the high levels of radiation so is it really wise for japan to be restarting its nuclear plants while the country still tries to resolve the world039s worst nuclear disaster |

do trees communicate
Bookmarked 513 weeks ago in this real-life model of forest resilience and regeneration professor suzanne simard shows that all trees in a forest ecosystem are interconnected with the largest oldest quotmother treesquot serving as hubs the underground exchange of nutrients increases the survival of younger trees linked into the network of old trees amazingly we find that in a forest 11 equals more than 2suzanne w simard - faculty profile live link with tons more infolinksdr suzanne simard is a professor with the ubc faculty of forestry where she lectures on and researches the role of mycorrhizae and mycorrhizal networks in tree species migrations with climate change disturbance networks of mycorrhizal fungal mycelium have recently been discovered by professor suzanne simard and her graduate students to connect the roots of trees and facilitate the sharing of resources in douglas-fir forests of interior british columbia thereby bolstering their resilience against disturbance or stress and facilitating the establishment of new regenerationdr simard writes:mycorrhizal fungi form obligate symbioses with trees where the tree supplies the fungus with carbohydrate energy in return for water and nutrients the fungal mycelia gather from the soil mycorrhizal networks form when mycelia connect the roots of two or more plants of the same or different species graduate student kevin beiler has uncovered the extent and architecture of this network through the use of new molecular tools that can distinguish the dna of one fungal individual from another or of one tree039s roots from another he has found that all trees in dry interior douglas-fir pseudotsuga menziesii var glauca forests are interconnected with the largest oldest trees serving as hubs much like the hub of a spoked wheel where younger trees establish within the mycorrhizal network of the old trees through careful experimentation recent graduate francois teste determined that survival of these establishing trees was greatly enhanced when they were linked into the network of the old treesthrough the use of stable isotope tracers he and amanda schoonmaker a recent undergraduate student in forestry found that increased survival was associated with belowground transfer of carbon nitrogen and water from the old trees this research provides strong evidence that maintaining forest resilience is dependent on conserving mycorrhizal links and that removal of hub trees could unravel the network and compromise regenerative capacity of the forestsin wetter mixed-species interior douglas-fir forests graduate student brendan twieg also used molecular tools to discover that douglas-fir and paper birch betula papyrifera trees can be linked together by species-rich mycorrhizal networks we found that the mycorrhizal network serves as a belowground pathway for transfer of carbon from the nutrient-rich deciduous trees to nearby regenerating douglas-fir seedlings moreover we found that carbon transfer was enhanced when douglas-fir seedlings were shaded in mid-summer providing a subsidy that may be important in douglas-fir survival and growth thus helping maintain a mixed forest community during early succession this is not a one-way subsidy however graduate leanne philip discovered that douglas-fir supported their birch neighbours in the spring and fall by sending back some of this carbon when the birch was leafless this back-and-forth flux of resources according to need may be one process that maintains forest diversity and stabilitymycorrhizal networks may be critical in helping forest ecosystems deal with climate change maintaining the biological webs that stabilize forests may help conserve genetic resources for future tree migrations ensure that forest carbon stocks remain intact on the landscape and conserve species diversity ubc graduate student marcus bingham is finding that maintaining mycorrhizal webs may be more important for the regeneration and stability of the dry than wet interior douglas-fir forests where resources are more limited and climate change is expected to have greater impacts helping the landscape adapt to climate change will require more than keeping existing forests intact however many scientists are concerned that species will need to migrate at a profoundly more rapid rate than they have in the past and that humans can facilitate this migration by planting tree species adapted to warm climates in new areas ubc graduate student brendan twieg is starting new research to help us understand whether the presence of appropriate mycorrhizal symbionts in foreign soils may limit the success of tree migrations and if so to help us design practices that increase our success at facilitating changes in these forests |
