OK, I just started a thread on what McCain wants to do for our current economic ills and I thought it only fair to start one for Obama. I want to know is something real and specific:
What are Senator Obama's plans for economic recovery if he should become the next President of the United States? How will his administration deal with a nation that spends half a billion dollars more each year than it takes in?
I want real, concrete plans, he has made some statements but they are lost in all the B.S. flying around.
What will he/his administration do? What are his proposals? How will he actually get stuff through Congress? How will he convince the public? How will he be able to do something vital?
I want to know why I should vote for Obama over McCain! And I don't want "because McCain is the same as Bush", there should be no mention of McCain or opposing campaigns, only what Obama's plans, proposals, and priorities are for the United States.
What is out there?

Marcela Franco Dies, Becomes 6th Fatality in Santa Monica Rampage
The death toll in the Santa Monica rampage went up to six today as Santa Monica College announced that 26-year-old Marcela Franco succumbed to her injuries at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
She was leaving SMC with her father in his SUV when a suspect opened fire, killing 68-year-old Carlos Franco, a longtime groundskeeper at the campus, and initially putting his daughter in critical condition:
The two, who lived near University High School in West L.A., were reportedly on campus to buy books because the younger Franco wanted to continue her education by taking classes at SMC.
It was a last-minute trip to dad's place of work, according to Fox 11 News' Tony Valdez.
SMC president Chui L. Tsang stated this today:
Marcela had registered to attend classes this summer at SMC and was with her father Carlos when Friday's tragedy struck.
Our deepest sympathies go to the Franco family. At the appropriate time, the College will convene a campus-wide memorial. We will provide details going forward.

And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
And this mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You better say it now
'Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow, yeah
'Cause I'm picking up the message, Lord
And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say

Distribution of oceanic 137Cs from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant simulated numerically by a regional ocean modelDaisuke Tsumune | Takaki Tsubono | Michio Aoyama | Katsumi Hirose
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 100-108
Radioactive materials were released to the environment from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant as a result of the reactor accident after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011. The measured 137Cs concentration in a seawater sample near the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant site reached 68kBqL -1 (6.8×10 4BqL -1) on 6 April. The two major likely pathways from the accident site to the ocean existed: direct release of high radioactive liquid wastes to the ocean and the deposition of airborne radioactivity to the ocean surface. By analysis of the 131I/ 137Cs activity ratio, we determined that direct release from the site contributed more to the measured 137Cs concentration than atmospheric deposition did.We then used a regional ocean model to simulate the 137Cs concentrations resulting from the direct release to the ocean off Fukushima and found that from March 26 to the end of May the total amount of 137Cs directly released was 3.5±0.7PBq ((3.5±0.7)×10 15Bq). The simulated temporal change in 137Cs concentrations near the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant site agreed well with observations. Our simulation results showed that (1) the released 137Cs advected southward along the coast during the simulation period; (2) the eastward-flowing Kuroshio and its extension transported 137C during May 2011; and (3) 137Cs concentrations decreased to less than 10BqL -1 by the end of May 2011 in the whole simulation domain as a result of oceanic advection and diffusion.We compared the total amount and concentration of 137Cs released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors to the ocean with the 137Cs released to the ocean by global fallout. Even though the measured 137Cs concentration from the Fukushima accident was the highest recorded, the total released amount of 137Cs was not very large. Therefore, the effect of 137Cs released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors on concentration in the whole North Pacific was smaller than that of past release events such as global fallout, and the amount of 137Cs expected to reach other oceanic basins is negligible comparing with the past radioactive input. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident: Summary of regional radioactive deposition monitoring resultsKatsumi Hirose
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 13-17
After the Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting Tsunami on March 11, 2011, serious accident of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant has been occurred. Huge amounts of radionuclides were released in atmosphere and ocean. Japanese prefectural governments have carried out environmental radioactivity monitoring; external dose rate, radioactivity measurements in environmental samples and others. Since March 18, 2011, daily and monthly deposition samples were collected in 45 stations covering Japanese Islands and radionuclides in the deposition samples were determined. We summarize radioactive deposition data reported by Japanese Government and study the depositional behaviors of the Fukushima-derived radionuclides. The results revealed that Fukushima-derived radioactive cloud dominantly affected in the central and eastern part of Honshu-Island, although it affected all of Japanese land area and also western North Pacific. The temporal change of the Fukushima-derived 137Cs revealed that the apparent atmospheric residence time of the Fukushima-derived 137Cs in sites within 300 km from the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPPis about 10 d. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Depth distribution of 137Cs, 134Cs, and 131I in soil profile after Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant AccidentHiroaki Kato | Yuichi Onda | Mengistu Teramage
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 59-64
Soil, vegetation and other ecological compartments are expected to be highly contaminated by the deposited radionuclides after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident triggered by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and the resulting tsunami on 11 March 2011. However, there is no field measurement data on the depth distributions of radiocaesium and 131I concentrations in soil profile. In this study, the depth distribution of the deposited radionuclides in the cultivated soil profile was investigated in one of the most contaminated area after FDNPP accident. The result of this study demonstrated that greater than 86% of total radiocaesium and 79% of total 131I were absorbed in the upper 2.0 cm in the soil profile. The relaxation mass depth (h 0) derived from the depth distribution of radiocaesium and 131I in the soil profile at the study site were 9.1 kg m -2 and 10.4 kg m -2, respectively. The h 0 of 137Cs in the studied soil profile was greater than those for the cultivated soils nearby the Chernobyl NPP. The positive relationship was found between clay content of topsoil and the h 0 of 137Cs. However, further analysis is required to clarify the effect of clay content on the initial penetration depth of deposited 137Cs in soil profile. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Atmospheric discharge and dispersion of radionuclides during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Part II: Verification of the source term and analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersionHiroaki Terada | Genki Katata | Masamichi Chino | Haruyasu Nagai
Volume 112, Issue , October 2012, Pages 141-154
Regional-scale atmospheric dispersion simulations were carried out to verify the source term of 131I and 137Cs estimated in our previous studies, and to analyze the atmospheric dispersion and surface deposition during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The accuracy of the source term was evaluated by comparing the simulation results with measurements of daily and monthly surface depositions (fallout) over land in eastern Japan from March 12 to April 30, 2011. The source term was refined using observed air concentrations of radionuclides for periods when there were significant discrepancies between the calculated and measured daily surface deposition, and when environmental monitoring data, which had not been used in our previous studies, were now available. The daily surface deposition using the refined source term was predicted mostly to within a factor of 10, and without any apparent bias. Considering the errors in the model prediction, the estimated source term is reasonably accurate during the period when the plume flowed over land in Japan. The analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion and deposition suggests that the present distribution of a large amount of 137Cs deposition in eastern Japan was produced primarily by four events that occurred on March 12, 15-16, 20, and 21-23. The ratio of wet deposition to the total varied widely depending on the influence by the particular event. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Radioiodine and radiocesium in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece due to the Fukushima nuclear accidentM. Manolopoulou | E. Vagena | S. Stoulos | A. Ioannidou | C. Papastefanou
Volume 102, Issue 8, August 2011, Pages 796-797
Radioiodine (131I) in air and rainwater as high as 497 μBq m-3 and 0.7 Bq L-1, respectively, as well as 137Cs and 134Cs in air as high as 145 μBq m-3 and 126 μBq m-3, respectively were recorded in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece (40°38'N, 22°58'E) from March 24, 2011 through April 09, 2011, after a nuclear accident occurred at Fukushima, Japan (37°45'N, 140°28'E) on March 11, 2011. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Estimation of marine source-term following Fukushima Dai-ichi accidentP. Bailly du Bois | P. Laguionie | D. Boust | I. Korsakissok | D. Didier | B. Fiévet
Volume 114, Issue , December 2012, Pages 2-9
Contamination of the marine environment following the accident in the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant represented the most important artificial radioactive release flux into the sea ever known. The radioactive marine pollution came from atmospheric fallout onto the ocean, direct release of contaminated water from the plant and transport of radioactive pollution from leaching through contaminated soil. In the immediate vicinity of the plant (less than 500 m), the seawater concentrations reached 68 000 Bq.L-1 for 134Cs and 137Cs, and exceeded 100 000 Bq.L-1 for 131I in early April. Due to the accidental context of the releases, it is difficult to estimate the total amount of radionuclides introduced into seawater from data obtained in the plant. An evaluation is proposed here, based on measurements performed in seawater for monitoring purposes. Quantities of 137Cs in seawater in a 50-km area around the plant were calculated from interpolation of seawater measurements. The environmental halftime of seawater in this area is deduced from the time-evolution of these quantities. This halftime appeared constant at about 7 days for 137Cs. These data allowed estimation of the amount of principal marine inputs and their evolution in time: a total of 27 PBq (12 PBq-41 PBq) of 137Cs was estimated up to July 18. Even though this main release may be followed by residual inputs from the plant, river runoff and leakage from deposited sediments, it represents the principal source-term that must be accounted for future studies of the consequences of the accident on marine systems. The 137Cs from Fukushima will remain detectable for several years throughout the North Pacific, and 137Cs/134Cs ratio will be a tracer for future studies. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

We report on the first measurements of short-lived gaseous fission products detected outside of Japan following the Fukushima nuclear releases, which occurred after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. The measurements were conducted at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), (46°16′47″N, 119°16′53″W) located more than 7000 km from the emission point in Fukushima Japan (37°25′17″N, 141°1′57″E). First detections of 133Xe were made starting early March 16, only four days following the earthquake. Maximum concentrations of 133Xe were in excess of 40 Bq/m3, which is more than ×40,000 the average concentration of this isotope is this part of the United States. © 2011.
Arrival time and magnitude of airborne fission products from the Fukushima, Japan, reactor incident as measured in Seattle, WA, USAJ. Diaz Leon | D. A. Jaffe | J. Kaspar | A. Knecht | M. L. Miller | R. G H Robertson | A. G. Schubert
Volume 102, Issue 11, November 2011, Pages 1032-1038
We report results of air monitoring started due to the recent natural catastrophe on 11 March 2011 in Japan and the severe ensuing damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear reactor complex. On 17-18 March 2011, we registered the first arrival of the airborne fission products 131I, 132I, 132Te, 134Cs, and 137Cs in Seattle, WA, USA, by identifying their characteristic gamma rays using a germanium detector. We measured the evolution of the activities over a period of 23 days at the end of which the activities had mostly fallen below our detection limit. The highest detected activity from radionuclides attached to particulate matter amounted to 4.4 ± 1.3 mBq m -3 of 131I on 19-20 March. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Fukushima fallout in Northwest German environmental mediaDaniela Pittauerová | Bernd Hettwig | Helmut W. Fischer
Volume 102, Issue 9, September 2011, Pages 877-880
Traces of short- and long-lived fallout isotopes (131I, 134Cs and 137Cs) were found in environmental samples collected in Northwest Germany (rain water, river sediment, soil, grass and cow milk) from March to May 2011, following the radioactivity releases after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan. The measured concentrations are consistent with reported concentrations in air, amount of rainfall and expected values applying simple radioecological models. The [134Cs]/[137Cs] ratio reported for air (about 1) allows for discrimination between "recent" and "old" 137Cs. Expected 136Cs values fell below the detection limits of the instrumentation, despite large sample masses and long counting times. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Po-210 and Pb-210 as atmospheric tracers and global atmospheric Pb-210 fallout: A ReviewM. Baskaran
Volume 102, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 500-513
Over the past ∼5 decades, the distribution of 222Rn and its progenies (mainly 210Pb, 210Bi and 210Po) have provided a wealth of information as tracers to quantify several atmospheric processes that include: i) source tracking and transport time scales of air masses; ii) the stability and vertical movement of air masses iii) removal rate constants and residence times of aerosols; iv) chemical behavior of analog species; and v) washout ratios and deposition velocities of aerosols. Most of these applications require that the sources and sink terms of these nuclides are well characterized.Utility of 210Pb, 210Bi and 210Po as atmospheric tracers requires that data on the 222Rn emanation rates is well documented. Due to low concentrations of 226Ra in surface waters, the 222Rn emanation rates from the continent is about two orders of magnitude higher than that of the ocean. This has led to distinctly higher 210Pb concentrations in continental air masses compared to oceanic air masses. The highly varying concentrations of 210Pb in air as well the depositional fluxes have yielded insight on the sources and transit times of aerosols. In an ideal enclosed air mass (closed system with respect to these nuclides), the residence times of aerosols obtained from the activity ratios of 210Pb/222Rn, 210Bi/210Pb, and 210Po/210Pb are expected to agree with each other, but a large number of studies have indicated discordance between the residence times obtained from these three pairs. Recent results from the distribution of these nuclides in size-fractionated aerosols appear to yield consistent residence time in smaller-size aerosols, possibly suggesting that larger size aerosols are derived from resuspended dust. The residence times calculated from the 210Pb/222Rn, 210Bi/210Pb, and 210Po/210Pb activity ratios published from 1970's are compared to those data obtained in size-fractionated aerosols in this decade and possible reasons for the discordance is discussed with some key recommendations for future studies.The existing global atmospheric inventory data of 210Pb is re-evaluated and a 'global curve' for the depositional fluxes of 210Pb is established. A current global budget for atmospheric 210Po and 210Pb is also established. The relative importance of dry fallout of 210Po and 210Pb at different latitudes is evaluated. The global values for the deposition velocities of aerosols using 210Po and 210Pb are synthesized. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
The removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution by oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubesYubing Sun | Shitong Yang | Guodong Sheng | Zhiqiang Guo | Xiangke Wang
Volume 105, Issue , February 2012, Pages 40-47
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have exhibited high sorption capacity for radionuclides due to the unique hollow structure and large surface area. In this study, surface properties of oxidized MWCNTs were characterized by using XRD, SEM, FTIR and potentiometric acid-base titration. The sorption of U(VI) on oxidized MWCNTs as a function of contact time, U(VI) concentration, pH, ionic strength, humic acid/fulvic acid (HA/FA) and carbonate was investigated by using batch technique. The removal of U(VI) by oxidized MWCNTs was strongly dependent on pH and ionic strength. The presence of HA/FA enhanced U(VI) removal on oxidized MWCNTs at low pH while inhibited U(VI) sorption at high pH. The mechanism of U(VI) sorption on oxidized MWCNTs was assumed to be cation exchange/outer-sphere surface complexation in acidic pH and to form precipitation under circum neutral conditions. The oxidized MWCNTs exhibit higher sorption capacity and stronger chemical affinity than pristine MWCNTs. © 2011.
Measurement of soil contamination by radionuclides due to the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident and associated estimated cumulative external dose estimationS. Endo | S. Kimura | T. Takatsuji | K. Nanasawa | T. Imanaka | K. Shizuma
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 18-27
Soil sampling was carried out at an early stage of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. Samples were taken from areas around FDNPP, at four locations northwest of FDNPP, at four schools and in four cities, including Fukushima City. Radioactive contaminants in soil samples were identified and measured by using a Ge detector and included 129mTe, 129Te, 131I, 132Te, 132I, 134Cs, 136Cs, 137Cs, 140Ba and 140La. The highest soil depositions were measured to the northwest of FDNPP. From this soil deposition data, variations in dose rates over time and the cumulative external doses at the locations for 3 months and 1y after deposition were estimated. At locations northwest of FDNPP, the external dose rate at 3 months after deposition was 4.8-98μSv/h and the cumulative dose for 1y was 51 to 1.0×10 3mSv; the highest values were at Futaba Yamada. At the four schools, which were used as evacuation shelters, and in the four urban cities, the external dose rate at 3 months after deposition ranged from 0.03 to 3.8μSv/h and the cumulative doses for 1y ranged from 3 to 40mSv. The cumulative dose at Fukushima Niihama Park was estimated as the highest in the four cities. The estimated external dose rates and cumulative doses show that careful countermeasures and remediation will be needed as a result of the accident, and detailed measurements of radionuclide deposition densities in soil will be important input data to conduct these activities. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Evidence of the radioactive fallout in the center of asia (russia) following the fukushima nuclear accidentA. Bolsunovsky | D. Dementyev
Volume 102, Issue 11, November 2011, Pages 1062-1064
It was recently reported that radioactive fallout due to the Fukushima Nuclear Accident was detected in environmental samples collected in the USA and Greece, which are very far away from Japan. In April-May 2011, fallout radionuclides ( 134Cs, 137Cs, 131I) released in the Fukushima Nuclear Accident were detected in environmental samples at the city of Krasnoyarsk (Russia), situated in the center of Asia. Similar maximum levels of 131I and 137Cs/ 134Cs and 131I/ 137Cs ratios in water samples collected in Russia and Greece suggest the high-velocity movement of the radioactive contamination from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident and the global effects of this accident, similar to those caused by the Chernobyl accident. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Atmospheric discharge and dispersion of radionuclides during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Part I: Source term estimation and local-scale atmospheric dispersion in early phase of the accidentGenki Katata | Masakazu Ota | Hiroaki Terada | Masamichi Chino | Haruyasu Nagai
Volume 109, Issue , July 2012, Pages 103-113
The atmospheric release of 131I and 137Cs in the early phase of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP1) accident from March 12 to 14, 2011 was estimated by combining environmental data with atmospheric dispersion simulations under the assumption of a unit release rate (1 Bq h -1). For the simulation, WSPEEDI-II computer-based nuclear emergency response system was used. Major releases of 131I (>10 15 Bq h -1) were estimated when air dose rates increased in FNPP1 during the afternoon on March 12 after the hydrogen explosion of Unit 1 and late at night on March 14. The high-concentration plumes discharged during these periods flowed to the northwest and south-southwest directions of FNPP1, respectively. These plumes caused a large amount of dry deposition on the ground surface along their routes. Overall, the spatial pattern of 137Cs and the increases in the air dose rates observed at the monitoring posts around FNPP1 were reproduced by WSPEEDI-II using estimated release rates. The simulation indicated that air dose rates significantly increased in the south-southwest region of FNPP1 by dry deposition of the high-concentration plume discharged from the night of March 14 to the morning of March 15. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Numerical reconstruction of high dose rate zones due to the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accidentGenki Katata | Hiroaki Terada | Haruyasu Nagai | Masamichi Chino
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 2-12
To understand how the high dose rate zones were created during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP1) accident on March 2011, the atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides during the period from 15 to 17 March was reproduced by using a computer-based nuclear emergency response system, WSPEEDI-II. With use of limited environmental monitoring data, prediction accuracy of meteorological and radiological fields by the system was improved to obtain best estimates of release rates, radiation dose maps, and plume movements. A large part of current high dose rate zones in Fukushima was explained by simulated surface deposition of radionuclides due to major releases of radionuclides on 15 March. In the simulation, the highest dose rate zones to the northwest of FNPP1 were created by a significant deposition of radionuclides discharged from FNPP1 during the afternoon. The results indicate that two environmental factors, i.e., rainfall and topography, strongly affected the spatial patterns of surface deposition of radionuclides. The wet deposition due to rainfall particularly played an important role in the formation of wide and heterogeneous distributions of high dose rate zones. The simulation also demonstrated that the radioactive plume flowed along the valleys to its leeward, which can expand the areas of a large amount of surface deposition in complex topography. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Food safety regulations: What we learned from the Fukushima nuclear accidentNobuyuki Hamada | Haruyuki Ogino
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 83-99
On 11 March 2011, the magnitude-9.0 earthquake and a substantial tsunami struck off the northeast coast of Japan. The Fukushima nuclear power plants were inundated and stricken, followed by radionuclide releases outside the crippled reactors. Provisional regulation values for radioactivity in food and drink were set on 17 March and were adopted from the preset index values, except that for radioiodines in water and milk ingested by infants. For radiocesiums, uranium, plutonium and transuranic α emitters, index values were defined in all food and drink not to exceed a committed effective dose of 5 mSv/year. Index values for radioiodines were defined not to exceed a committed equivalent dose to the thyroid of 50 mSv/year, and set in water, milk and some vegetables, but not in other foodstuffs. Index values were calculated as radioactive concentrations of indicator radionuclides ( 131I for radioiodines, 134Cs and 137Cs for radiocesiums) by postulating the relative radioactive concentration of coexisting radionuclides (e.g., 132I, 133I, 134I, 135I and 132Te for 131I). Surveys were thence conducted to monitor levels of 131I, 134Cs and 137Cs. Provisional regulation values were exceeded in tap water, raw milk and some vegetables, and restrictions on distribution and consumption began on 21 March. Fish contaminated with radioiodines at levels of concern were then detected, so that the provisional regulation value for radioiodines in seafood adopted from that in vegetables were additionally set on 5 April. Overall, restrictions started within 25 days after the first excess in each food or drink item, and maximum levels were detected in leafy vegetables (54,100 Bq/kg for 131I, and a total of 82,000 Bq/kg for 134Cs and 137Cs). This paper focuses on the logic behind such food safety regulations, and discusses its underlying issues. The outlines of the food monitoring results for 24,685 samples and the enforced restrictions will also be described. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

3O 4@SiO 2 composite particles
Volume 106, Issue , April 2012, Pages 40-46
Rapid removal of U(VI) from aqueous solutions was investigated using magnetic Fe 3O 4@SiO 2 composite particles as the novel adsorbent. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effects of initial pH, amount of adsorbent, shaking time and initial U(VI) concentrations on uranium sorption efficiency as well as the desorbing of U(VI). The sorption of uranium on Fe 3O 4@SiO 2 composite particles was pH-dependent, and the optimal pH was 6.0. In kinetics studies, the sorption equilibrium can be reached within 180min, and the experimental data were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order model, and the equilibrium sorption capacities calculated by the model were almost the same as those determined by experiments. The Langmuir sorption isotherm model correlates well with the uranium sorption equilibrium data for the concentration range of 20-200mg/L. The maximum uranium sorption capacity onto magnetic Fe 3O 4@SiO 2 composite particles was estimated to be about 52mg/g at 25°C. The highest values of uranium desorption (98%) was achieved using 0.01M HCl as the desorbing agent. Fe 3O 4@SiO 2 composite particles showed a good selectivity for uranium from aqueous solution with other interfering cation ions. Present study suggested that magnetic Fe 3O 4@SiO 2 composite particles can be used as a potential adsorbent for sorption uranium and also provided a simple, fast separation method for removal of heavy metal ion from aqueous solution. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Polonium-210 and lead-210 in the terrestrial environment: A historical reviewBertil R R Persson | Elis Holm
Volume 102, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 420-429
The radionuclides 210Po and 210Pb widely present in the terrestrial environment are the final long-lived radionuclides in the decay of 238U in the earth's crust. Their presence in the atmosphere is due to the decay of 222Rn diffusing from the ground. The range of activity concentrations in ground level air for 210Po is 0.03-0.3 Bq m-3 and for 210Pb 0.2-1.5 Bq m-3. In drinking water from private wells the activity concentration of 210Po is in the order of 7-48 mBq l-1 and for 210Pb around 11-40 mBq l-1. From water works, however, the activity concentration for both 210Po and 210Pb is only in the order of 3 mBq l-1. Mosses, lichens and peat have a high efficiency in capturing 210Po and 210Pb from atmospheric fallout and exhibit an inventory of both 210Po and 210Pb in the order of 0.5-5 kBq m-2 in mosses and in lichens around 0.6 kBq m-2. The activity concentrations in lichens lies around 250 Bq kg-1, dry mass.Reindeer and caribou graze lichen which results in an activity concentration of 210Po and 210Pb of about 1-15 Bq kg-1 in meat from these animals. The food chain lichen-reindeer or caribou, and Man constitutes a unique model for studying the uptake and retention of 210Po and 210Pb in humans. The effective annual dose due to 210Po and 210Pb in people with high consumption of reindeer/caribou meat is estimated to be around 260 and 132 μSv a-1 respectively. In soils, 210Po is adsorbed to clay and organic colloids and the activity concentration varies with soil type and also correlates with the amount of atmospheric precipitation. The average activity concentration levels of 210Po in various soils are in the range of 20-240 Bq kg-1.Plants become contaminated with radioactive nuclides both by absorption from the soil (supported Po) and by deposition of radioactive fallout on the plants directly (unsupported Po). In fresh leafy plants the level of 210Po is particularly high as the result of the direct deposition of 222Rn daughters from atmospheric deposition. Tobacco is a terrestrial product with high activity concentrations of 210Po and 210Pb. The overall average activity concentration of 210Po is 13 ± 2 Bq kg-1. It is rather constant over time and by geographical origin.The average median daily dietary intakes of 210Po and 210Pb for the adult world population was estimated to 160 mBq day-1 and 110 mBq day-1, corresponding to annual effective doses of 70 μSv a-1 and 28 μSv a-1, respectively. The dietary intakes of 210Po and 210Pb from vegetarian food was estimated to only 70 mBq day-1 and 40 mBq day-1 corresponding to annual effective doses of 30.6 μSv a-1 and 10 μSv a-1, respectively. Since the activity concentration of 210Po and 210Pb in seafood is significantly higher than in vegetarian food the effective dose to populations consuming a lot of seafood might be 5-15 fold higher. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Radiological impact in Korea following the Fukushima nuclear accidentChang Kyu Kim | Jong In Byun | Jeong Suk Chae | Hee Yeoul Choi | Seok Won Choi | Dae Ji Kim | Yong Jae Kim | Dong Myung Lee | Won Jong Park | Seong A. Yim | Ju Yong Yun

The pathway and radiological impact of the radioactive plume released at the Fukushima nuclear accident site on the Korean Peninsula has been studied. On March 28, 2011, only 131I was first observed at all 12 regional monitoring stations in Korea, and the highest activity concentrations in aerosol were 3.12mBq/m 3 for 131I at Gunsan, 1.19mBq/m 3 for 134Cs and 1.25mBq/m 3 for 137Cs at Busan on April 7, 2011. These radionuclides were also detected in dry and wet deposition samples, while the significant increase of 131I, 134Cs and 137Cs activity concentrations were not observed in seawater and marine biota samples. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Effects of the nuclear disaster on marine products in FukushimaToshihiro Wada | Yoshiharu Nemoto | Shinya Shimamura | Tsuneo Fujita | Takuji Mizuno | Tadahiro Sohtome | Kyoichi Kamiyama | Takami Morita | Satoshi Igarashi
Volume 124, Issue , October 2013, Pages 246-254
After the release of huge amounts of radionuclides into the ocean from the devastated Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), safety concerns have arisen for marine products in Fukushima Prefecture. As of October 2012, we had inspected the radionuclide (131I, 134Cs and 137Cs) concentrations in 6462 specimens within 169 marine species collected off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture from April 2011. Only two species exceeded the Japanese provisional regulatory limit for 131I (2000Bq/kg-wet) immediately after the FDNPP accident. In 2011 and 2012, 63 and 41 species respectively exceeded the Japanese regulatory limit for radioactive Cs (100Bq/kg-wet). The overall radioactive Cs concentrations of the total marine products have decreased significantly. However, the time-series trends of radioactive Cs concentrations have differed greatly among taxa, habitats (pelagic/demersal), and spatial distributions. Higher concentrations were observed in shallower waters south of the FDNPP. Radioactive Cs concentrations decreased quickly or were below detection limits in pelagic fishes and some invertebrates, and decreased constantly in seaweed, surf clams, and other organisms. However, in some coastal demersal fishes, the declining trend was much more gradual, and concentrations above the regulatory limit have been detected frequently, indicating continued uptake of radioactive Cs through the benthic food web. The main continuing source of radioactive Cs to the benthic food web is expected to be the radioactive Cs-containing detritus in sediment. Trial fishing operations for several selected species without radioactive Cs contamination were commenced in Soma area, 50km north of the FDNPP, from June 2012. Long-term and careful monitoring of marine products in the waters off Fukushima Prefecture, especially around the FDNPP, is necessary to restart the coastal fishery reliably and to prevent harmful rumors in the future. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Fluvial discharges of radiocaesium from watersheds contaminated by the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, JapanShinji Ueda | Hidenao Hasegawa | Hideki Kakiuchi | Naofumi Akata | Yoshihito Ohtsuka | Shun'ichi Hisamatsu
Volume 118, Issue , April 2013, Pages 96-104
A large amount of radiocaesium, 134Cs and 137Cs, was released to the atmosphere and Pacific Ocean from the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) that was damaged by the tsunami caused by the Tohoku earthquake on 11 March 2011. Radiocaesium deposited on the ground is now the most important consideration in assessing the risk to people in the vicinity of the FDNPP and remediating the contaminated area. Transfer of radiocaesium from the ground through rivers is an important factor in the downstream contamination of irrigation waters, paddy fields, lakes, and the sea. We estimated the transport of radiocaesium through two small rivers, the Hiso River and Wariki River, that traverse mountainous areas in Fukushima Prefecture. Areal depositions of radiocaesium in their watersheds (catchments) were high (1-3 MBq m-2). Water samples were collected from the rivers twice during each of two baseflow and two flood stages in 2011 and analysed for radiocaesium in particulate and dissolved forms. The radiocaesium concentrations depended strongly on the rates of water discharge. Maximum activities of radiocaesium in the samples from the Hiso River and Wariki River when there was precipitation or flooding (July and September) were 25 ± 0.31 and 35 ± 0.25 Bq L-1, respectively. Particulate radiocaesium during periods of flooding contributed over 90% of the total radiocaesium activity in the samples. The discharge of radiocaesium from the catchments during 2011 was estimated to be 0.5% and 0.3% of the total amount of radiocaesium deposited on the catchments of the Hiso River and Wariki River, respectively. It is considered that the most of the radiocaesium deposited in the catchment remains on the soil surface. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Long-term simulations of the 137Cs dispersion from the Fukushima accident in the world oceanMasanao Nakano | Pavel P. Povinec
Volume 111, Issue , September 2012, Pages 109-115
The LAMER calculation code was used for simulation of the distribution of 137Cs released after the Fukushima accident into the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The maximum 137Cs concentration predicted for surface waters of the open NW Pacific Ocean in 2012 (21Bq/m 3 at 38°N, 164°E) will be comparable to that observed during the early 1960s after atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. The 137Cs in surface waters of the Pacific Ocean will reach the US coast 4-5y after the accident, however, the levels will be low (<3Bq/m 3). All the North Pacific Ocean will be labeled with Fukushima 137Cs 10y after the accident with concentrations below 1Bq/m 3. Thirty years after the accident the 137Cs levels in the Pacific and Indian Oceans will be below 0.1Bq/m 3, i.e. undetectable on the present global fallout background. The effective dose commitment with ingestion of marine biota found in 2012 in the open NW Pacific Ocean was estimated to be 1.7μSv/y, mostly delivered by 134,137Cs. The estimated dose is by about a factor of 500 lower than the present dose limit for the public. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Large amounts of radioactive substances were released into the environment from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants in eastern Japan as a consequence of the great earthquake (M 9.0) and tsunami of 11 March 2011. Radioactive substances discharged into the atmosphere first reached the Chiba Metropolitan Area on 15 March. We collected daily samples of air, fallout deposition, and tap water starting directly after the incident and measured their radioactivity. During the first two months maximum daily concentrations of airborne radionuclides observed at the Japan Chemical Analysis Center in the Chiba Metropolitan Area were as follows: 4.7 × 10 1 Bq m -3 of 131I, 7.5 Bq m -3 of 137Cs, and 6.1 Bq m -3 of 134Cs. The ratio of gaseous iodine to total iodine ranged from 5.2 × 10 -1 to 7.1 × 10 -1. Observed deposition rate maxima were as follows: 1.7 × 10 4 Bq m -2 d -1 of 131I, 2.9 × 10 3 Bq m -2 d -1 of 137Cs, and 2.9 × 10 3 Bq m -2 d -1 of 134Cs. The deposition velocities (ratio of deposition rate to concentration) of cesium radionuclides and 131I were detectably different. Radioactivity in tap water caused by the accident was detected several days after detection of radioactivity in fallout in the area. Radiation doses were estimated from external radiation and internal radiation by inhalation and ingestion of tap water for people living outdoor in the Chiba Metropolitan Area following the Fukushima accident. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Membrane purification in radioactive waste management: A short reviewRitu D. Ambashta | Mika E T Sillanpää
Volume 105, Issue , February 2012, Pages 76-84
Radiation hazards of radionuclides arising from nuclear plant facilities are well known. Separation technologies are used to concentrate the radionuclides and prevent the spread of this hazard to the environment. The present review describes the recent advances made in radioactive waste treatment using membrane separation technology. The first part discusses the membrane methods for collective separation of radionuclides and the second part discusses the membrane methods for selective separation of individual radionuclides. For the collection separation of radionulides, methods include reverse osmosis, precipitation followed by ultrafiltration or microfiltration and membrane distillation. Individual elements have been separated using liquid supported membranes, polymer inclusion membranes, solid polymer based electrolysis, nanofiltration, electrochemical salt-splitting process and other advanced separation methods. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Characterization of diatomite and its application for the retention of radiocobalt: Role of environmental parametersGuodong Sheng | Huaping Dong | Yimin Li
Volume 113, Issue , November 2012, Pages 108-115
Clay minerals have been extensively studied because of their strong sorption and complexation ability. In this work, diatomite was characterized by using acid-base titration. Retention of radionuclide 60Co(II) from aqueous solution by sorption onto diatomite was investigated by using batch technique under various environmental conditions such as pH, ionic strength, humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA), and temperature. The results indicated that the sorption of Co(II) onto diatomite was strongly dependent on pH. At low pH value, the sorption of Co(II) was dominated by outer-sphere surface complexation and ion exchange with Na+/H+ on diatomite surfaces, whereas inner-sphere surface complexation was the main sorption mechanism at high pH value. The D-R model fitted the sorption isotherms better than the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0, ΔS0 and ΔG0) calculated from the temperature-dependent sorption isotherms suggested that the sorption of Co(II) was an endothermic and spontaneous process. In addition, diatomite showed higher sorption capacity than that of lots of the sorbents reported in the literatures we surveyed. From the results of Co(II) removal by diatomite, the optimum reaction conditions can be obtained for the maximum removal of Co(II) from water. It is clear that the best pH values of the system to remove Co(II) from solution by using diatomite are 7-8. Considering the low cost and effective disposal of Co(II)-contaminated wastewaters, the best condition for Co(II) removal is at room temperature and solid content of 0.5 g/L. The results might be important for assessing the potential of practical application of diatomite in Co(II) and related radionuclide pollution management. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

I wanted to make a new character to play around with the stamina/height/weight stuff. Also make a female character as I went male for my first (apparently my only one).
I know I can use another profile, but that is lame they didn't allow the game to have mulitple save slots so you could create more than one. Who only puts a single save slot in a full $60 console game? I mean really Capcom. One save file.

The Pennsylvania House and Senate Appropriations Committees met this week to address modernizing everyone's favorite monopoly, the state Liquor Control Board.
Right there, you've got your first problem.
Pennsylvania, the land time forgot, doesn't do change.
The board was founded at the end of Prohibition to, as Gov. Gifford Pinchot declared, "discourage the purchase of alcoholic beverages by making it as inconvenient and expensive as possible," a promise we can agree it has made good on to this day.
We have the "temporary" 18 percent Johnstown Flood Tax that dates to 1936. That tax is in addition to a bottle handling fee, 6 percent sales tax, and 30 percent markup on every bottle. You need a drink to feel even semi-miserable for shopping here instead of New Jersey and Delaware, where parking lots are filled with cars sporting Pennsylvania plates. Not that we speak from personal experience.

Your vacation will be so much more relaxing and enjoyable when you skip the traffic and driving. You'll be walking distance to all the best shopping, beaches, restaurants, and galleries. The amenities provided are more than you could expect at the most upscale resort, without sacrificing privacy.
Lovely, peaceful, charming casita. Conveniently located and comfortable. Wonderful hosts. We look forward to returning!
The studio was a perfect place to stay for the weekend. It is clean, nice, walking distance to the beach and main street in Montecito. It's a quick cab or uber to downtown Santa Barbara. The owners are very nice and hospitable. There are beach towels and beach chairs available for use. It was great! We would definitely stay there again!
This casita was in the perfect location for us - just a short walk to Channel Drive and Butterfly beach, both very picturesque - and it was an even shorter walk to the lower village and Coast Village Road with all of its restaurants and shops.
The property was fitted out with everything we needed. In addition to the table and chairs in the apartment there was a nice little private patio with its own breakfast table and chair area. Even though it was close to 101 the property is well buffered and street noise in unnoticeable. Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Great stay.
My husband and I lived in Santa Barbara for ten years before returning to the East coast where we were from originally.
Since being back in New England we relish our visits back to California, especially to Santa Barbara where we have many memories.
Finding a place to stay for our trip that was both comfortable , well located, and hosted by terrific people, is a tall order. Happily, we found it all at Pam and Eric's casita. It is charming, impeccably clean, and the friendly graciousness of our hosts made it especially appealing.
Being in Santa Barbara is enchanting under any circumstances,but being a guest at Baja Montecito Casita
elevated our stay to an even higher level.
For future vacations we cannot imagine staying anywhere else.
Our stay with Pam and Doug was perfect. We didn't see them all that much, and Doug more than Pam, but still perfect in every way..... the little house/apartment behind their garage was very private and secluded. It was clean and fresh.... I'm sensitive to smells and it smells wonderful.... there was coffee, tea, little bit of sugar/sweeteners.... but no cream for this girl, I think that would be my only complaint if I HAD to find one, but we just went to store and bought our own! Not a big deal. Thank you Doug and Pam....
My first visit to Santa Barbara was made even more enjoyable by having the "casita" as our home base for the two nights we were there. A cozy, convenient spot from which to launch sightseeing or beach walking. Very happy to have found this gem.
Just finished a two week stay with Pam and Eric and hated to leave. I have stayed at several VRBO's in Santa Barbara, and there is simply no comparison. Quiet and peaceful, ideally located, and filled with quality furnishings - no thrift store junk.
Very clean and well maintained. Anything you need is furnished, and there is a very nice patio to relax on. The ocean is within easy walking distance, as are a variety of nice places to eat and shop.
Eric and Pam are great people.
By the time I left I felt like family, and I'm looking forward to my next visit to their home.

This Mod is based on the idea of the great Victory Points Mod by AndrewC and CornCobMan, where you get points for the number of taken strategic objectives. But as you may suggest from the name in this Mod you get so called "Bloodpoints", if you have killed more units than lost and have razed more structures than lost. In the other case you loose your points again slowly. This is influenced by structures tripled as by units. If you're the first to get the given amount of points, you'll win. The Mod is compatible with Dawn of War and all of its AddOns and Mods.

J.J. Watt Hyperextended Knee During OTA's
Jadeveon Clowney isn?t the only high-profile Texans defender dealing with an injury, as defensive end J.J. Watt has a hyperextended knee.
The injury happened during Thursday?s OTA session, and Watt didn't practice on Friday.
?He?s fine,? coach Bill O?Brien said, via Brian Smith of the Houston Chronicle. ?It?s not serious at all. We just gave him the day off.?
Even if Watt is fine, the situation should serve as a reminder for Watt that, with three years of significant achievement and two years left under his rookie contract, he would be wise to try to get his long-term deal sooner than later.

Liberty and Security in the Age of Terrorism
United States
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
National security is not an end in itself, but the precondition of an end more valuable: Americans' common enjoyment of the "Blessings of Liberty." The appropriateness of measures designed to defeat enemies abroad and ensure domestic tranquility must, therefore, be evaluated in light of the end for the sake of which they are deployed lest our ardor for security erode the liberties our constitutional regime exists above all to protect. At what point is one further increment of security not worth its cost—in terms of resources expended, privacy surrendered, rights infringed upon, and principles betrayed? Calibrating security policy in the age of international terrorism is a difficult task. A theoretical understanding of our regime and its purposes, no less than a prudential assessment of the threats that exist to it today, is more important than ever.
The inaugural conference of the Commonwealth Security Studies Laboratory in the College of Business and Public Affairs at Morehead State University is devoted to these themes. The conference committee welcomes the submission of papers addressing the relationship between security and liberty, broadly construed. Anticipated topics include the following:
• The nature of Islamic terrorism and the extent of its threat to the West
• The requirements and limitations of domestic security post-9/11
• The extent to which the war on terror infringes upon (and/or justifies infringing upon) civil rights and citizens' expectations of privacy
• The treatment of detainees and the appropriateness of coercive interrogation and military commissions
• Religious liberty in the West and home-grown extremists
• Domestic terrorism and anti-Western ideologies
• The appropriateness of a military response to the problem of terrorism
• The appropriateness of a law enforcement response to the problem of terrorism
• Civil-military relations in the age of asymmetric warfare
• Citizens' rights (and duties) post-9/11
• Aliens' rights (and duties?) post-9/11
• Political Correctness as an impediment to effective counter-terrorist policies
• The effect of terrorism and counter-terrorism policies on the character of the American regime
• The Reagan administration's approach to terrorism
• The Clinton administration's approach to terrorism
• The Bush administration's approach to terrorism
• The Obama administration's approach to terrorism
All papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be eligible for inclusion in an edited volume published by the Commonwealth Security Studies Laboratory. Papers will be selected according to a two-part review process: adjudication by a panel of three external reviewers followed by an editorial review. Those selected will have opportunity to revise and expand their submissions prior to publication.
Confirmed speakers for this event include:
Abram N. Shulsky is a Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC. Prior to retirement from federal service, he served as an advisor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy from 2001 to 2009, dealing primarily with issues related to Iraq and the Global War on Terrorism. In previous positions with the federal government, he has served as a consultant on national security affairs to the Office of Net Assessment in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD); as the Director of Strategic Arms Control Policy in the OSD; acting Representative of the Secretary of Defense to the Nuclear and Space Talks (Defense and Space Group) with the former Soviet Union; Minority Staff Director of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and as legislative assistant to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan with respect to intelligence issues. Dr. Shulsky is the author of the first edition of a college text book on intelligence, Silent Warfare: Understanding the World of Intelligence, and the co-editor, with Gary J. Schmitt, of the second and third editions.
Bruce Thornton is a professor of classics and humanities at Fresno State University. He is also a W. Glenn Campbell and Rita Ricardo-Campbell National Fellow at the Hoover Institution and recipient of the Susan Louise Dyer Peace Fellowship. He is the author of eight books, and his numerous essays and reviews have appeared in both scholarly journals and magazines such as The New Criterion, Commentary, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and The Claremont Review of Books. He has lectured at many colleges and universities and at venues such as the Smithsonian Institute, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, the Army War College, and the Air Force Academy. His latest book, forthcoming in 2010, is The Anatomy of Appeasement. From Ancient Greece to the War on Terror.
Please submit a 250-word abstract by March 30, 2010 to firstname.lastname@example.com. Authors should include pertinent contact and affiliation information. Authors will be notified of acceptance no later than April 15, 2010.
Event Details
All conference attendees are welcome to attend the special program which will take place in Morehead on October 21, 2010. This program will consist of a Morehead State University faculty panel followed by the inaugural CSSL dinner and speaker. Information about this portion of the program soon will be available on the CSSL website, csslab.org.
The conference will run from October 21-24, 2010 and will be held at a location in Lexington, KY. The final day of the Lexington conference schedule will consist of a visit to Kentucky's historic Keeneland Race Course, which is located directly opposite Lexington's Blue Grass Airport.

Congratulations to everyone!! I couldn't agree more that we can all be so happy and grateful that we are still on this board. A heartfelt prayer for those who had to leave unexpectedly. I pray you get your rainbow.

Patient Comments: Pulmonary Hypertension - Symptoms
Please describe your symptoms of pulmonary hypertension.
Comment from: Sm7cb6, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: March 21
I have pulmonary hypertension. I have been on rivaroxaban for 2 years. I get breathless walking short distance, putting shoes, or on talking on phone.
Comment from: Samantha, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 10
I'm 44 and I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in 2011 during my pregnancy. I'm in the mid-advanced stage. For the first two years of it I felt horrible. I gained so much upper body weight. I couldn't walk from my bedroom out to my car without having severe shortness of breath. I would sweat so much it literally dripped off me. I felt like I was literally dying. My pulmonologist put me on a medication called Opsumit, Lasix, Coreg, and warfarin. And oxygen as needed. I feel so much better. I can do almost anything, just like I used to. I still need to lose the weight.
Comment from: Winnie, 0-2 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 16
My son had heart failure at 6 months of age. He was born at 31 weeks, only kept on oxygen for 24hours. Send home at 34 weeks he struggled to feed, I spent hours feeding him. I feel so guilty because I thought he was not right, yet the doctor kept telling me he was fine. I knew he found it hard to breathe when feeding, yet doctor kept telling me he was ok. I took him to the hospital and was told he was having heart failure. He was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (PH). He's 2 and a half, was on oxygen for a year. Now only when needed, saying that seems quite often. He takes medicines etc., yet has never seen a doctor about his P. I just don't seem to get any answers, doctor says he doesn't have PH, so what does he have! Any time we fly he needs oxygen, how can he be sure my child doesn't have PH.
Comment from: law, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 11
I am a 45 year old female. I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension 2 years ago. I was diagnosed with emphysema when I was 37 years old. The only treatment I am currently on is my 2 inhalers. I have dizziness all the time; when I stand up, when I stretch or reach for something, when I pick something heavy up or if I hold my breath at all even for 2 or 3 seconds. I get winded and out of breath climbing the stairs, using the vacuum or making the bed. I have chest pain almost daily. I have insurance through work, but sadly I still cannot afford the expensive tests and medication that is needed. I would like to know what my life expectancy is. My doctor will not give me a straight answer.
Comment from: friar120, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: October 31
I have lived at 10,200 feet for 25 years. I was diagnosed with PH (pulmonary hypertension) several years ago. About 3 years ago I started having episodes of gasping air hunger with physical exertion, extreme lethargy and feeling my heart beats in the middle of my sternum and up into my neck and ear drums. This July I had 2 stents put in my right and left coronary arteries due to 80% and 70% blockage. 50% blockage was found in the other coronary artery in the back of the heart, but no stent was put in. I continue to have symptoms like the above despite having the stents put in. My problem is that the PH test shows up as only slightly elevated in Denver, which is only a mile high in altitude. I live at 2 miles high elevation in altitude and can't get a doctor to "look at the patient" rather than the test results at a lower elevation. I also have vertigo, swelling in my legs and weight gain. I have found that crashing lethargy happens when my oxygen is in the lower 80s and improves when I breathe oxygen at 2 liters. I have also been diagnosed with heart failure. I probably should be on medications, but that won't happen until a doctor recognizes my plight.
