History of the AIPRI
We know that the pro-nuclear lobby has attempted and succeeded for many years in censoring all references on Television to the dangers to the general population from living in near (100 mile radius) proximity to nuclear facilities.
L'AIPRI was founded in 1993 by Jean PlGNERO and Maurice Eugène ANDRE. Jean PIGNERO (France) had founded l'APRI en 1964. This was the first association for the protection against ionizing radiation in Europe. He was the director of the review, PRI, « Protection contre les Rayonnements lonisants » (Protection from Ionizing Radiation) of the association and developed actions denouncing the dangers of the abuse of a system requiring obligatory x-rays.
World Naked Bike Ride Cycles Into Saint Louis This Summer
The first ever Saint Louis World Naked Bike Ride will launch later this summer on Saturday August 2 at 9 pm, departing from Tower Grove Park’s Pool Pavilion (near Magnolia Ave and Tower Grove Ave).
The World Naked Bike Ride is an international event protesting oil dependency, promoting positive body image, and raising cyclist awareness. The bike ride’s dress code is “bare as you dare,” so all participants are welcome whether fully clothed, covered in body paint, or completely bare. It has been successful in various other cities such as nearby Chicago, though this is the first summer it will take place in Saint Louis. The Saint Louis event will have some pre-ride body painting at 7 pm.

Diagnosing the Disease
HOUSTON, June 29 -- When it comes to explaining our deteriorating national and international condition, hand it to Dr. Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican who represents several refinery towns just south of Houston, Texas.
He proved his skill Thursday with his address to the House of Representatives, five minutes of straight talk from a wise physician concerned about politics and geopolitics:

06/27/2008 - 10:00am - 06/27/2008 - 12:00pmThe Best Farmland in the U.S. Is Flooded; Most Americans Are Too Stupid to Panic
The best commentary I could offer is a link to a previous story:
World’s Largest Maker of Crop Nutrients: Famines May Occur Without Record Harvests
But I’ll ramble on a bit more about this, anyway.
As soon as I became aware of the flooding situation in the American Midwest, I posted the story with the EMERGENCY prefix on the title.
Just so we’re clear, when I write EMERGENCY at the beginning of a post
title, this is my way of indicating that the situation is as serious as
it gets. It means that I feel as though everyone reading should
consider taking immediate evasive action. All the jawboning about
conspiracy, how things could have been, how things should be, etc. are
behind us now. You know, EMERGENCY, act fast, eyes wide, nostrils
flared, etc.
While the food supply situation has skated along a knife edge so far
this year, with higher prices and many countries experiencing food
riots, widespread famine did not take hold. In an incredible move, the Japanese quietly eased rice shortages
by releasing portions of their imported rice stockpiles—from giant
warehouses in Tokyo—into the system; a welcome but one off blip in the
big picture. What happens next time?
