Dr. Edgar J. Schoen

As the son of a physician, who grew up socializing with physicians and their families, I've always seen doctors - scientists - as regular human beings, who burn hot dogs, crash cars, fall down, make mistakes, and fade away. This makes me very aware of the fallibility of doctors and their diagnoses, to the core.

Lessons learned - not all scientists are created equal - all scientists are flawed - be an informed consumer and make certain all your science decisions are based on the best scientific data and scientists possible - always get a second opinion... more if the decision in truly important.

Having spent several years studying and addressing the lead poisoning crisis in Northeast Ohio and worldwide, as a subcommittee co-chair of the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council, and seeing lead poisoning from inside the healthcare and human services industries, as the parent of lead poisoning victims, I have become informed about the poor quality of healthcare industry attention to lead poisoning in America - historically and now - nationwide and especially in highest incidence regions like Northeast Ohio. The poor quality of healthcare response to lead poisoning is intentional and designed into government by the healthcare industry through corruption of scientists who are bad.

 Understanding the entire HUD Funding breakdown, the MASTER PLANS of the Local CDC's, the City of Cleveland, and the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission and the INFLATED APPRAISALS in addition to the INFLATED TAXES which are 2 separate inflations..would have improved this story by the PD.

Small-scale demonstration of the Gravity Power Module (GPM), an in-ground energy storage system.

Here is a very cool evolving energy storage and generation technology that will absolutely work here as well as anywhere - there is no reason I can see why we won't see “Gravity Power Module” or GPM installations in Ohio - what are we doing to advance our position with this, as we are trying to do with off-shore wind. This is an excellent compliment to wind, and water.

Perhaps this would be a good fit and project for the Water Technology Information Cluster, based in Cincinnati, established by the EPA and intended to benefit environmental protection and economic development in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Could we combine GPM with wastewater management and treatment - could this be built into a smart sewage treatment system leveraging the need to store and move huge amounts of water anyways? We need that several places in Ohio, I know of. I'm going to explore that.

National Mortality Effects from Existing Powerplants - note Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana region largely browned-out

Now is the time for the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana region to come together to build and maintain a vibrant, technology-driven economy that influences positive change in the way we protect human health and the environment.

That is the proclamation on the home page for a new Environmental Protection Agency Water Technology Information Cluster (WTIC), in Cincinnati, announced by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson today. From the press release introducing the WTIC: 

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, Lisa P. Jackson, and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Karen Mills traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio to announce a new collaborative effort called the Water Technology Innovation Cluster (WTIC).  The WTIC will develop and commercialize innovative technologies to solve environmental and public health challenges, encourage sustainable economic development, and create jobs.  As a starting point, WTIC will focus on technologies in the states of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana that will help protect the health of millions of Americans by developing state of the art safeguards for clean water.

The subtitle to this press release states: Smart environmental protection creates jobs

Just felt like venting below....watching the annihilation of our city has traumatized my life, violated our people, and decimated our American Spirit...But I shall continue to have faith that the corrupt jerks who have destroyed our world will be held accountable before our lifetime is over. May they all enjoy the shame that comes with being exposed for their poor choices...and that jail time that should come with convictions... We the people have been imprisoned for all too long in our community and it's time to be set free! 

The day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day, 2011, AlterNet highlights the reality that the mainstream media in America is incompetent in its duty to inform the world about affairs in America, if it is not worse and directed by media and government leadership to deceive the people of the world into believing America is right and good, when we are not. As a resident of Northeast Ohio, subjected to the incompetency and/or deception of our regional mainstream media in not-covering and/or covering-up real news of Ohio and our region (e.g. covering up for local political corruption, environmental crimes, and theft of public funds and opportunity from the poor for the rich), the harm caused my family is realized in lead poisoned children and the waste of family resources and loyalty to a place and leadership that are undeserving, if not evil.

Here is how things are working out in the rest of America, for the rest of the world, in the era of the most ineffective, corrupt and despicable "free press" imaginable:

What if MLK took what he learned from civil rights and applied it to herbal rights?

The odd notion of ye olde dispensary sandwiched between the barbershop and the pizzeria took a hit this Election Day, when rural Loveland, Colorado voted to abolish its existing medical marijuana businesses. The ban is symptomatic of regulatory tussles playing out in every medical marijuana state. Yet advocacy groups accepted the result without a whimper. No candlelight vigils. Not one person carrying a sign.
