福島第１原発：作業員が白血病で死亡　東電が発表

　東京電力は３０日、福島第１原発で作業に携わっていた４０代の男性作業員が急性白血病で死亡したと発表した。外部被ばく量が０・５ミリシーベルト、内部被ばく量は０ミリシーベルトで、松本純一原子力・立地本部長代理は「医師の診断で、福島での作業との因果関係はない」と説明した。

　東電によると、男性は関連会社の作業員で８月上旬に約１週間、休憩所でドアの開閉や放射線管理に携わった。

　体調を崩して医師の診察を受け急性白血病と診断され、入院先で亡くなったという。東電は１６日に元請け企業から報告を受けた。事前の健康診断で白血球数の異常はなく、今回以外の原発での作業歴は不明という。【林田七恵】

急性白血病で福島原発作業員死亡　東電「因果関係なし」

東京電力は３０日、福島第一原子力発電所で復旧作業にあたっていた協力企業の４０代男性が８月上旬に急性白血病で死亡したと発表した。東電は「男性の作業と白血病による死亡に因果関係はない」としている。

　東電によると、男性は８月上旬に福島第一原発で７日間、休憩場を出入りする作業員の放射線の被曝（ひばく）管理をしていた。その後、体調の不良を訴え、数日後に死亡したという。

　男性はほかの原発も含めて原発内の作業にあたった経験はなく、今回が初めてだったという。被曝線量は外部被曝が０．５ミリシーベルト、内部被曝はなかった。東電が、協力企業を通じて診断医師に確認したところ、「急性白血病は（臨床症状が出るまでの）潜伏期間が数年あり、死亡直前に短期間被曝して発症することはない」との説明を受けたという。

放射線業務歴なし＝急性白血病で死亡の男性－東電

　東京電力は３０日、福島第１原発事故の収束作業後、急性白血病で死亡した４０代の男性について、同原発以前に放射線を扱う業務に従事したことはなかったと発表した。
　東電が複数の医師に確認したところ、急性白血病が死亡数週間前の作業によって発症することはあり得ないという。

急性白血病で作業員死亡　福島第１原発に従事　 「作業との因果関係なし」

　東電によると、男性は８月上旬から１週間、放射線管理などの業務に従事。体調不良を訴え診察を受けたが、その後死亡した。内部被ばくはゼロだった。就労前の健康診断では問題がなかったという。１６日に元請け企業から東電に連絡があった。
　東電によると、急性白血病26 件に関する厚生労働省の労災認定基準は年間５ミリシーベルト以上の被ばく、１年間の潜伏期間などがある。この男性の福島第１原発での作業は、基準に達しないという。
　同原発の作業に従事する以前の職歴については分かっていないが、東電は「これ以上調査する予定はない」としている。

同原発での作業との因果関係はたぶんないだろうが、それ以前の職歴というのが気になる。もう少し追跡調査すべきであろう。

そもそも、東電や政府は原発作業員の健康管理についてないがしろにしている印象が強い。


Fukushima radiation alarms doctors
Japanese doctors warn of public health problems caused by Fukushima radiation.
Dahr Jamail Last Modified: 18 Aug 2011

有道氏が引用している記事　http://www.debito.org/?p=9314#comment-259603

Doctors in Japan are already treating patients suffering health effects they attribute to radiation from the ongoing nuclear disaster.

"We have begun to see increased nosebleeds, stubborn cases of diarrhoea, and flu-like symptoms in children," Dr Yuko Yanagisawa, a physician at Funabashi Futawa Hospital in Chiba Prefecture, told Al Jazeera.

She attributes the symptoms to radiation exposure, and added: "We are encountering new situations we cannot explain with the body of knowledge we have relied upon up until now."

千葉県の船橋二和病院の柳沢裕子医師の話。

「子どもたちの鼻血、難治性下痢、インフルエンザのような症状が増えている事がわかり始めました」
「これまでに頼ってきた医学的知識では説明できないような状況に、直面しています。」

Yanagisawa's hospital is located approximately 200km from Fukushima, so the health problems she is seeing that she attributes to radiation exposure causes her to be concerned by what she believes to be a grossly inadequate response from the government.

柳沢医師の病院は福島から約２００ｋｍの場所にあるため、同医師は、被ばくのためであると考えている健康被害が、甚だしく不十分な政府対応のためではないかと懸念している。

そもそもアルジャは反原発派であるが、この手の記事を書くと信頼性を失うし、また、反原発派もこのような記事で、うかれていては、反原発活動の信頼性も損なう。
１）子どもたちの鼻血、難治性下痢、インフルエンザのような症状が増えている、という確たるデータがあるのか？
---そんな話聞いたことがない。

２）どのような点で、医学的知識では説明できないような状況であるのか？

しっかりした説明ができなければ、不確かなデータに基づく、非科学的な推論で、政治目的のためにするデマといわれてもいたしかたなかろう。

反原発活動が狼少年化して信頼を失いかねない。

他の論点についても、論争のある仮説に基づいた議論。

放射能汚染の影響については、私見をTepidoで述べた。

　放射線は健康に影響があること、しかし、微量の放射線量については論争があること、微量の放射線量が影響がある仮説にたっても、喫煙、副流煙、そのほか、他にもっと心配することはあること、とはいえ、微量でも、影響が不確定なゆえに、除染作業は継続すべきこと、など。

Racial Intimidation Escalates In Arroyo Grande

As the trial date of four alleged white supremacist draws near, intimidation of a mixed race family in Arroyo Grande has escalated.

In broad daylight, on Saturday, someone spray painted the name of a white supremacist gang and a cross on a wall across the street from the family’s Elm Street home using a pre-made template. The vandalism faced the site of an earlier cross burning.

On March 18, shortly after midnight, an African American teenage girl heard loud noises coming from her yard. She went outdoors and stood on their back porch, but saw no one.

She then went back to her bedroom, turned off the light and saw an 11-foot cross burst into flames directly outside her window. She yelled to her mother, and called police.

The cross had been stolen from St. John’s Lutheran Church in Arroyo Grande on March 1.

The family, which has lived in the area for 10 years, is not being named to protect their privacy. However, for this article we will refer to the mother as Anna.

Earlier today, Anna left her daughter at home to have breakfast with a friend. She arrived home to see the words “Elm St. Woods” with a the “T” looking like a cross on the wall facing the site of the earlier cross burning.

The “peckerwoods” is the name of a California based skinhead gang, known to trade in methamphetamine. A few decades ago, the abbreviated term “woods” entered California prison slang.

Since the cross burning, the family has been the victim of numerous acts of intimidation including arriving home in the evening to find a truck with several people parked in front of their home. Each time, the truck has sped off as Anna and her daughter pull up to their home.

One alleged affiliate of the gang boldly knocked on their front door a few months ago, an action the gang allegedly used to determine if Anna and her daughter still lived in the Elm Street house.

And while two other African Americans moved from the street in the primarily white community within a few months of the cross burning, the victims did not.

Anna has worked for the same local employer for 17 years and has great credit. However, she is currently working from home because of a stroke she suffered about a year ago.

Because of this, Anna will need assistance with the move and is having trouble finding an affordable rental and coming up with a security deposit.

Early on, members of the community vowed to help the family, but no one followed through with their offers.

Meanwhile, Anna has moved a large dining cabinet in front of one of the homes larger windows and has also brought a dog into the home. But still, she worries how the stress is affecting her daughter, Anna said.

In July, police arrested Orcutt resident Jason Kahn, 36, San Simeon transient Jeremiah Hernandez, 32, Arroyo Grande transient William Soto, 20, and San Simeon transient Sara Matheny, 24. All four are former Arroyo Grande residents.

Each of the suspects is charged with arson, cross burning, terrorism, conspiracy and hate crime enhancements while conspiring with others.

Kahn was also charged with witness intimidation.

There is some evidence that the suspects are connected to organized hate groups, police said.

Nevertheless, several of the suspects’ attorneys have successfully garnered some public support because Soto is Filipino-American, Hernandez is Native American and Hispanic and Kahn is sometimes a Jewish name.

The attorneys said racism shouldn’t be considered a part of the case.

In March, Arroyo Grande Mayor Tony Ferrara labeled the burning of the cross outside the home of an African American as a possible prank. At a press conference a week after the cross burning, city officials said there were no known hate groups in the area.

Even so, basic research on the Internet―including Facebook, MySpace, and Stormfront―suggests the skinhead movement enjoys many followers in this South County community.

Study: Racial Disparities Taint Military’s Use Of Death Penalty

<blockquotet>en of the 16 men whom the military has sentenced to death in the last 27 years share another common characteristic: They’re all non-whites.

The racial imbalance in the military’s death penalty isn’t new. As far back as the early 1970s, the military has acknowledged racial bias in its judicial system. The civilian court systems have similar disparities.

But one recent statistical analysis has found that the problem endures and is in some ways worse than on the civilian side.

A study by a group of law and statistics professors found that non-whites in the military were twice as likely to be sentenced to death as their white counterparts, a statistic higher than is known to exist in most civilian court systems.

Majority of Muslim-Americans feel targeted by terror policies and claim to be singled out
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Last updated at 7:04 AM on 30th August 2011

In all, 52 per cent of Muslim-Americans surveyed said their group is singled out by government for terrorist surveillance.
Almost as many ― 43 per cent ― reported they had personally experienced harassment in the past year, according to the poll released on Tuesday.

That 43 per cent share of people reporting harassment is up from 40 per cent in 2007, the first time Pew polled Muslim-Americans.
Asked to identify in what ways they felt bias, about 28 per cent said they had been treated or viewed with suspicion by people, while 22 per cent said they were called offensive names.
About 21 per cent said they were singled out by airport security because they were Muslim, while another 13 per cent said they were targeted by other law enforcement officials.
Roughly 6 per cent said they had been physically threatened or attacked.
On the other hand, the share of Muslim-Americans who view U.S. anti-terror policies as 'sincere' efforts to reduce international terrorism now surpasses those who view them as insincere ― 43 per cent to 41 per cent.
Four years ago, during the presidency of George W. Bush, far more viewed U.S. anti-terrorism efforts as insincere than sincere ― 55 per cent to 26 per cent.
The vast majority of Muslim-Americans ― 79 per cent ― rate their communities as either 'excellent' or 'good' places to live, even among many who reported an act of vandalism against a mosque or a controversy over the building of an Islamic centre in their neighbourhoods.

They also are now more likely to say they are satisfied with the current direction of the country ― 56 per cent, up from 38 per cent in 2007.
That is in contrast to the general U.S. public, whose satisfaction has dropped from 32 per cent to 23 per cent.
Andrew Kohut, Pew president, said in an interview that Muslim-Americans' overall level of satisfaction was striking.
'I was concerned about a bigger sense of alienation, but there was not,' Mr Kohut said, contrasting the U.S. to many places in Europe where Muslims have become more separatist.
'You don't see any indication of brewing negativity. When you look at their attitudes, these are still middle-class, mainstream people who want to be loyal to America.'

イスラム教徒のアメリカ人の大半は、テロ容疑の標的になっていると感じ、ハラスメントや、空港でのレイシャルプロファイリングを受けていると感じている人も多いが、ほとんどが社会はいい方向にむかっていると考え、また、アメリカは住むにはいい場所である、と考えている、と。欧州とは傾向がちがう、と。

Figures show seven hate crimes a day being committed across Wales

by Sam Malone, Western MailAug 30 2011

AN AVERAGE of seven hate crimes are committed across Wales every day, new figures have revealed.

Since 2005, Welsh police forces have recorded nearly 13,000 incidents which were perceived by the victim to be motivated by prejudice or hate.

More than 80% of the alleged offences took place in South Wales with Wales’ largest police force recording 8,177 racially-related incidents and 1,545 offences thought to be triggered by homophobic prejudices.

The data, which was released under the Freedom of Information Act, reveals a marked variation between the locations where hate crimes have been committed, with just 98 incidents recorded in the Dyfed-Powys force area compared to 2,165 in North Wales and 10,723 in South Wales. Figures from Gwent Police were yesterday unavailable.

Campaigners and anti-hate crime groups last night hailed the rise in reports in the south of the country – some categories of which have risen by as much as 300% – saying they showed an increased awareness of hate crimes.

Russian cannibal caught in the act
Posted May 17, 2011 19:37:00

Police in Moscow have arrested a man who dismembered an acquaintance and kept his body parts in a fridge, officials said.

Nikolai Shadrin was arrested after police located the apartment where he killed a 40-year-old Muscovite, Ilya Yegorov, in early May.

At the time of his arrest, Shadrin was eating a stew of human liver, police spokesman Aleksei Saveliev said, according to RIA Novosti agency.

St Petersburg - Investigators said on Monday that Russian police had arrested a man who confessed to murdering and eating another man he met through a gay personals website.

The 21-year-old man was arrested on Friday, several days after human remains were found in the northern city of Murmansk.

According to investigators, the suspect said he had met a 32-year-old man through the internet and invited him to his house, where he stabbed him to death.

He afterwards dismembered the body and ate the remains.

"The only motive for the murder was his desire to taste human flesh," said regional investigative committee chief Fyodor Blyudyonov.
