Human Experimentation: Next round of Radiation Experimentation begins in Japan
March 12, 2011, 11:12:42 AM »
The next round of human experimentation using radiation exposure has begun in Japan:
Radiation leaks from Japan's quake-hit nuclear plant
FUKUSHIMA, Japan | Sat Mar 12, 2011 4:43pm GMT
(Reuters) - Radiation leaked from Japan's earthquake-crippled nuclear plant on Saturday after a blast blew the roof off, and authorities prepared to distribute iodine to people in the vicinity to protect them from exposure.
The Aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
The Emergence of the Cold War Radiation Research Bureaucracy
While promoting the beneficial uses of radiation, the government also
wished to continue and expand research on its harmful effects
. Three days after the destruction of Hiroshima, Robert Stone wrote two letters to Stafford Warren's deputy, and Stone's former student, Hymer Friedell. The first expressed hope that the contribution of medical researchers could now be made public, so that people would know what they had done during the war.[57] The second letter described Stone's "mixed feelings" at the success that had been achieved and his fear that the lingering effects of radiation from the bomb had been underestimated: "I could hardly believe my eyes," Stone wrote, "when I saw a series of news releases said to be quoting Oppenheimer, and giving the impression that there is no radioactive hazard. Apparently all things are relative."[58]
Friedell and other researchers, including Stafford Warren and Shields Warren, soon
traveled to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to begin what became an extensive research program on survivors.
The data from that project quickly became and still remain the essential source of information on the long-term effects of radiation on populations of human beings. It was not long, however, before there were additional real-life data on the bomb, from postwar atomic tests. In 1946, the United States undertook the first peacetime nuclear weapons tests at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Operation Crossroads, conducted before journalists and VIPs from around the world, was intended to test the ability of a flotilla of unmanned ships to withstand the blast. Since most of the ships remained afloat, the Navy declared Crossroads a triumph.[59]
The Manhattan Project: A New and Secret World of Human Experimentation
In August 1942, the Manhattan Engineer District was created by the government to meet the goal of producing an atomic weapon under the pressure of ongoing global war. Its central mission became known as the Manhattan Project. Under the direction of Brigadier General Leslie Groves of the Army Corps of Engineers, who recently had supervised the construction of the Pentagon, secret atomic energy communities were created almost overnight in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at Los Alamos, New Mexico, and in Hanford, Washington, to house the workers and gigantic new machinery needed to produce the bomb. The weapon itself would be built at the Los Alamos laboratory, under the direction of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Plucked from campuses around the country, medical researchers came face to face with the need to understand and control the effect upon the thousands of people, doctors included, of radioactive materials being produced in previously unimaginable quantities.
In November 1942 General Groves, through the intermediation of an Eastman Kodak official, paid a call on University of Rochester radiologist Stafford Warren. Rochester, like MIT and Berkeley, was another locale where radiation research had brought together physicists and physicians. "They wanted to know what I was doing in radiation. So I discussed the cancer work and some of the other things," Warren told an interviewer in the 1960s. Then "[w]e got upstairs and they looked in the closet and they closed the transom and they looked out the window. . . . Then they closed and locked the door and said, 'Sit down.'"[22]
Soon thereafter, Dr. Warren was made a colonel in the U.S. Army and the medical director of the Manhattan Project. As his deputy, Warren called on Dr. Hymer Friedell, a radiologist who had worked with Dr. Stone in California. Dr. Stone himself had meanwhile moved to the University of Chicago, where he would play a key role in Manhattan Project-related medical research.
Initially, researchers knew little or nothing about the health effects of the basic bomb components, uranium, plutonium, and polonium. [23] But, as a secret history written in 1946 stated, they knew the tale of the radium dial painters:
The memory of this tragedy was very vivid in the minds of people, and the thoughts of potential dangers of working in areas where radiation hazards existed were intensified because the deleterious effects of radiation could not be seen or felt and the results of over-exposure might not become apparent for long periods after such exposure. [24]
The need for secrecy, Stafford Warren later recalled, compounded the urgency of understanding and controlling risk. Word of death or toxic hazard could leak out to the surrounding community and blow the project's cover. [25]
The need to protect the Manhattan Project workers soon gave rise to a new discipline, called health physics, which sought to understand radiation effects and monitor and protect nuclear worker health and safety. The Project was soon inundated with data from radiation-detection instruments, blood and urine samples, and physical exams. The "clinical study of the personnel," Robert Stone wrote in 1943, "is one vast experiment. Never before has so large a collection of individuals been exposed to so much radiation." [26] Along with these data-gathering efforts came ethical issues.
Would disclosure of potential or actual harm to the workers, much less the public, impair the program? For example, a July 1945 Manhattan Project memo discussed whether to inform a worker that her case of nephritis (a kidney disease) may have been due to her work on the Project. The issue was of special import because, the memo indicated, the illness might well be a precursor of more cases. The worker, the memo explained, "is unaware of her condition which now shows up on routine physical check and urinalysis." [27]
As this memo showed, there was an urgent need for decisions on how to protect the workers, while at the same time safeguard the security of the project: "The employees must necessarily be rotated out, and not permitted to resume further exposure. In frequent instances no other type of employment is available. Claims and litigation will necessarily flow from the circumstances outlined." There were also, the memo concluded, "Ethical considerations":
The feelings of the medical officers are keenly appreciated. Are they in accordance with their canons of ethics to be permitted to advise the patient of his true condition, its cause, effect, and probable prognosis? If not on ethical grounds, are they to be permitted to fulfill their moral obligations to the individual employees in so advising him? If not on moral grounds, are those civilian medical doctors employed here bound to make full disclosure to patients under penalty of liability for malpractice or proceeding for revocation of license for their failure to do so? [28]
It is not clear what was decided in this case. However, the potential conflict between the government doctors' duty to those working on government projects and the same doctors' obligations to the government would not disappear. Following the war, as we see in chapter 12, this conflict would be sharply posed as medical researchers studied miners at work producing uranium for the nation's nuclear weapons.
Another basic question was the extent to which human beings could or should be studied to obtain the data needed to protect them. The radium dial painter data served as a baseline to determine how the effects of exposures in the body could be measured. But this left the question of whether plutonium, uranium, and polonium behaved more or less like radium. Research was needed to understand how these elements worked in the body and to establish safety levels. A large number of animal studies were conducted at laboratories in Chicago, Berkeley, Rochester, and elsewhere; but the relevance of the data to humans remained in doubt.
The Manhattan Project contracted with the University of Rochester to receive the data on physical exams and other tests from Project sites and to prepare statistical analyses. While boxes of these raw data have been retrieved, it is not clear what use was made of them.[29] Accidents, while remarkably few and far between, became a key source of the data used in constructing an understanding of radiation risk. But accidents were not predictable, and their occurrence only enhanced the immediacy of the need to gain better data.
In 1944, the Manhattan Project medical team, under Stafford Warren and with the evident concurrence of Robert Oppenheimer, made plans to inject polonium, plutonium, uranium, and possibly other radioactive elements into human beings
. As discussed in chapter 5, the researchers turned to patients, not workers, as the source of experimental data needed to protect workers. By the time the program was abandoned by the government, experimentation with plutonium had taken place in hospitals at the Universities of California, Chicago, and Rochester, and at the Army hospital in Oak Ridge, and further experimentation with polonium and uranium had taken place at Rochester.
The surviving documentation provides little indication that the medical officials and researchers who planned this program considered the ethical implications of using patients for a purpose that no one claimed would benefit them, under circumstances where the existence of the substances injected was a wartime secret. Following the war, however, the ethical questions raised by these experiments would be revisited in debates that themselves were long kept secret.
In addition to experimentation with internally administered radioisotopes, external radiation was administered in human experiments directed by Dr. Stone at Chicago and San Francisco and by others at Memorial Hospital in New York City. Once again, the primary subjects were patients, although some healthy subjects were also involved. In these cases, the researchers may have felt that the treatment was of therapeutic value to the patients. But, in addition to the question of whether the patients were informed of the government's interest, this research raised the question of whether the government's interest affected the patients' treatment. As discussed in chapter 8, these questions would recur when, beginning in 1951, and for two decades thereafter, the Defense Department would fund the collection of data from irradiated patients.
Ensuring safety required more, however, than simply studying how radioactive substances moved through and affected the human body. It also involved studying how these substances moved through the environment. While undetectable to the human senses, radiation in the environment is easily measurable by instruments. When General Groves chose Hanford, on the Columbia River in Washington state, as a site for the plutonium production facility, a secret research program was mounted to understand the fate of radioactive pollution in the water, the air, and wildlife.[30]
Outdoor research was at times improvisational
. Years after the fact, Stafford Warren would recall how
Manhattan Project researchers had deliberately "contaminated the alfalfa field"
next to the University of Rochester medical school with radiosodium, to determine the shielding requirements for radiation-measuring equipment. Warren's associate Dr. Harold Hodge recalled that a shipment of radiosodium was received by plane from Robley Evans at MIT, mixed with water in a barrel, and poured into garden sprinklers:
We walked along and sprinkled the driveway. This was after dark. . . . The next thing, we went out and sprayed a considerable part of the field. . . . It was sprayed and then after a while sprayed again, so there was a second and third application. We were all in rubber, so we didn't get wet with the stuff . . . then Staff [Warren] said that one of the things we needed was to see what would be the effect on the inside of a wooden building. So we took the end of the parking garage, and we sprinkled that up about as high as our shoulders, and somebody went inside and made measurements, and we sprinkled it again. Then we wanted to know about the inside of a brick building, and so we sprinkled the side of the animal house. . . . I had no idea what the readings were. . . I hadn't the foggiest idea of what we were doing, except that obviously it was something radioactive.[31]
Outdoor releases would put at risk unsuspecting citizens
, even communities, as well as workers. There were no clear policies and no history of practice to guide how these releases should be conducted. As we explore in chapter 11, this would be worked out by experts and officials in secret, on behalf of the workers and citizens who might be affected.
Human Experimentation at the Chernobyl site:
On April 26, the number three unit at the Chernobyl nuclear energy station explodes, and melts down.
Diamond leaves to cover the accident. I leave Cincinnati and head for Kansas City, where, on May 5, Dotte Troxell and I hold a press conference. We say that U.S. criticism of Soviet secrecy on Chernobyl is hypocritical and call on the U.S. government to release all data on human experimentation. In our press release we attack the credibility of Dr. Saenger -- who has
quickly been hired to advise the U.S. government on Chernobyl's impact on U.S. personnel stationed in Europe and has become the media's authority on Chernobyl's health effects.
Our press release also details the
U.S. human experimentation program "that has, at various times, included the exposure of prisoners, mental patients, terminal cancer patients, and paid volunteers to 'non-therapeutic' radiation doses
. . ." Again, we show the Buchenwald memo
(*** See below: can't find this yet)
to the press. The press responds with silence. A number of us start working our congressional contacts. Cliff Honicker, Dorothy Legarreta, and I all had a close working relationship with the House Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and Power when it had been under the chairmanship of Representative Richard Ottinger of New York. Near the end of his tenure, Ottinger had authorized a full-scale staff investigation into the DOE's human experimentation program.
By 1986 chairmanship of the subcommittee has passed to Edward Markey of Massachusetts. Eager to see some result of the investigation, we press the subcommittee to go public inhearings and a report. No hearings are held -- a curious fact given the magnitude of the issue -- but in October the staff issues its report. "American Nuclear Guinea Pigs: Three Decades of Radiation Experiments on U.S. Citizens." Markey simultaneously issues a press release that states: "The purpose of several experiments was actually to cause injury to the subjects . . . American citizens thus became nuclear calibration devices for experimenters run amok."
The Markey report, which contains all the relevant facts that would be treated as major revelations seven years later, results in minor and often misleading news stories in several papers. The New York Times's Matthew Wald extracts a single strand from the ninety-five-page report -- news that some of the releases of radioactive iodine from the Hanford, Washington, nuclear facility had been intentional -- and turns it into a story that runs on page A-20. The other ninety-plus pages of the report, which deal with unethical clinical experiments, are downplayed in a small, unbylined piece headed VOLUNTEERS AROUND U.S. SUBMITTED TO RADIATION. Contrary to the Markey report and to fact, the headline and article imply that all subjects had volunteered for the experiments and that they knew they were subjected to radiation.
Neither article mentions the Buchenwald memo.
***NOTE on the MISSING IMAGE***
Photobucket deleted a screen capture of a post from democraticunderground.com where the poster discusses his inability to find the actual memo that has been called "the Buchenwald memo". So even mentioning this gets a censor from Photobucket. Jesus how obvious is that?
I've typed the post below:
No one talks about this anymore. Why? It's being SCRUBBED!
Tried finding the "Buchenwald Memo." Here's where it used to be:
The HREX website is currently closed down for two reasons: (1) After the events of September 11, 2001, the Federal
Government undertook a review of all information on its websites to determine the appropriateness of the information
on the websites. The database for the HREX website currently undergoing a review in light of the events of 9/11 to
determine whether all of the information in the database is appropriate. (2) The HREX website was hosted by antiquated
technology. After the review of the information in the database is complete, it will be moved to the OpenNet website which
is a platform composed of current technologies. The timing of when the HREX information will be available on OpenNet is
unknown, therefore you may wish to periodically visit the OpenNet website at
Thank you for your patience.
Note: they have not put the memo back online.

You can see from the post above at the democraticunderground forum, the "Buchenwald Memo" was deleted from the
The US government deleted this document after the 911 false flag.
Why did the government think it was necessary to delete the "Buchenwald Memo"?
What did radiation experiments on US citizens have to do with 911?
The memo is referred to as "the Buchenwald memo" because in it, the author compares the human experimentation being performed in the U.S. as having a "little of the "Buchenwald touch".
They were likening the treatment of human beings living in the United States to the treatment of Nazi concentration camp medical test subjects.
"Suddenly, at the close of 1993, the public was bombarded with "news" about the feeding of radioactive substances to pregnant women and mentally retarded students, about the unethical irradiation of workers, soldiers, medical patients, and prison inmates, and about the government's own internal fears that these experiments had "a little of the Buchenwald touch."
Meet Dr. Egilman, a physician practicing in Braintree, Massachusetts, who spoke out about human experimentation with radiation in 1995. He wrote, " For almost ten years I have tried to raise my voice about some of the experiments conducted by our Government on its own citizens, and I am grateful for this opportunity today."
Statement to Congress, Subcommittee on Administative law and Governmental Relations
April 11,1994
by David S. Egilman MD. MPH.
759 Granite Street, Braintree, Massachusetts.
Chairman Bryant, Subcommittee Members. Good Afternoon.
My name is David Egilman. I am a physician. I am primarily a practicing doctor in Braintree,
Massachusetts. I am also a member of the faculty at Brown University. In that role I teach and
conduct research on the history of the development of medical knowledge in the 20th century.
I want to thank the Subcommittee for inviting me here to speak. For almost ten years I have
tried to raise my voice about some of the experiments conducted by our Government on its own
citizens, and I am grateful for this opportunity today.
I would like to begin by reviewing some contemporaneous comments of the colleagues of the
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers. There is little that I can add to these, however some
still defend these experiments so I will endeavor to explain the bases of the criticisms later in my
"It is not certain from the (consent form] narrative whether the patient is advised that no specific
benefit will derive to him and that there are, indeed risks involved in the procedure proposed."
Edward Gall MD, May, 1966
"I believe a twenty-five percent mortality is too high.' All patients should be informed not only
that a 'risk exists" but of, 'a 1 in 4 chance of death within a few weeks' of treatment"
George Shields MD, 1967
"The applicants have apparently already administered 150-200 rads to some 18 patients with a
of malignancies and to their satisfaction have not found a beneficial effect. In fact, as I
understand it, they found considerable morbidity associated with this high dose of radiation.
Why is it now logical to expand this study?
Even if this study is expanded, its current design will not yield meaningful data. ... It will be
difficult if not impossible to observe a beneficial effect in such a small sample containing a
variety of diseases all of which share only CANCER in common.
This gross deficiency in design will almost certainly prevent making meaningful observations.
When this deficiency in experimental method is placed next to their previously observed poor
result and high morbidity with this type of treatment in a 'variety of neoplasms' I think it is clear
that the study as proposed should not be done.
I have the uneasy suspicion, shored up by the revised statement of objectives, that this revised
protocol is a subterfuge lo allow the investigators ... to test the ability of autologous m a mto
'lake' in patients who have received high doses of total body radiation. This latter question may
be an important one to answer but I can't justify 200 rad total body radiation simply for this
purpose, 'even in terminal case material"
Thomas Gaffney MD - 1967
"the acceptability of our general consent form for human volunteers participating in research
was questioned
- Evelyn Hess MD - 1969
commenting on the reason for rejection of two grant
applications by the National Institutes of Health.
In my statement I will cover four areas
1. What were the experiments?
The whole body radiation (WBR) experiments conducted at the University of Cincinnati (UC)
were designed to provide information to the military. They were not in any way cancer treatment
or palliation. Some of those studies resulted in the deaths of their subjects.
2. Were the experiments conducted according to the ethical standards of their time?
The answer to this question is a firm no.
3. Why did it lake until 1994 for these activities to reach the national consciousness?
There was a lack of oversight and we are all responsible.
4. I would argue that this necessitates taking several long and short-term steps, including the following:
A. We must document and assess what happened.
B. Those harmed should receive compensation.
C. Appropriate actions should be taken against researchers who acted improperly.
D. We must establish permanent mechanisms to assure that this type of experiments will not occur again.
Why did these experiments occur and continue over a considerable period of time?
We must do our best lo right past wrongs and prevent this from happening again
In my opinion, they could occur again, they may occur again, and we need to establish a system
of checks and balances to assure that hearings such as these are not held again. Never again.

1950 Note Warns About Radiation Test
By KEITH SCHNEIDER
The American Government official who directed radiation experiments on human subjects was warned soon after the program began that the research would invite public criticism and comparison to Nazi experiments on concentration camp inmates, a private memorandum declassified by the Government shows.
In a 1950 memorandum to Dr. Shields Warren, a senior official of the Atomic Energy Commission, Dr. Joseph G. Hamilton, a top radiation biologist who worked for the agency, warned that the medical experiments might have "
a little of the Buchenwald touch
." At the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar a number of human experiments were done, including one that killed about 600 people exposed to typhus bacteria.
He warned that commission officials "would be subject to considerable criticism" for conducting experiments in which human subjects were exposed to potentially harmful doses of radiation.
The memorandum, which was declassified in the early 1970's, has been known to a handful of independent investigators interested in the early history of the Atomic Energy Commission. It has been publicly circulated in recent days as Government investigators and reporters have examined an extensive experimental program that involved at least 1,000 people in a variety of radiation experiments in the early years of the atomic era. One official said that number could go much higher Flood of Calls
The memo sheds light on what one of the Government's leading radiation researchers was thinking as the Government prepared to finance and direct the experiments.
This month Energy Secretary Hazel R. O'Leary directed her agency to determine how many studies were conducted, to find participants and their survivors and to investigate the propriety and legality of the research.
As part of the project, which could take years, Mrs. O'Leary has set up a toll-free telephone line, (800) 493-2998. Yesterday, hundreds of callers swamped the agency with questions about experiments they said might have involved them or family members. Peter Brush, the department's principal deputy assistant secretary for environment, safety and health, said the volume of calls was so intense that this week the department would triple the number of specialists answering the telephones to 9 or 10, from 3.
"We've had an unbelievable response to the hotline," Mr. Brush said. "It's a much greater volume than we anticipated."
The Boston Globe disclosed on Sunday that 19 mentally retarded teen-age boys at a state school in Waltham, Mass., were exposed to radioactive iron and calcium in their breakfast cereal. The experiments, from 1946 to 1956, were intended to help researchers understand nutrition and metabolism, the paper said, though consent forms mailed to parents never mentioned that radioactive elements would be involved. It is not known if the subjects were harmed by the test. Tests onf Newborns
The Albuquerque Tribune, which in November published a series of articles on an experiment in which 18 patients were injected with plutonium, reported last week on another study conducted in Memphis. In that research, sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1953 and 1954, seven newborn boys, six of them black, were injected with radioactive iodine. Those studies were intended to understand better how the thyroid glands of newborns functioned. Mothers agreed to the research, but some babies were later given up for adoption, according to The Tribune.
One of the issues the Energy Department is studying is whether any of the radiation experiments violated the 1947 Nuremberg Code, which was established after the Nazi war crimes trials, and is regarded as the universal standard for human experimentation. The code requires full, informed and voluntary consent for all experiments involving human subjects, along with demanding that test subjects be protected "against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death."
"We want to make sure the work was consistent with whatever ethical guidelines existed at the time," Mr. Brush said. "Certainly some of the stuff I've read leads one to question whether it could have been consistent with any established ethics of the time."
The Hamilton memorandum suggests that medical researchers associated with the Atomic Energy Commission were aware of their ethical responsibilities. The memorandum, dated Nov. 28, 1950, was addressed to Dr. Warren, the director of the division of biology and medicine, the unit of the Atomic Energy Commission that commissioned and oversaw virtually all Government research related to radiation after the war.
Dr. Hamilton, under contract to the Atomic Energy Commission, summarized the limited knowledge then available about the risks military personnel faced should they be exposed to high levels of radiation, presumably as a result of nuclear war or military exercises involving atomic bombs. Dr. Hamilton urged the Atomic Energy Commission to conduct additional research to expose living organisms to intense radiation fields.
"For both politic and scientific reasons," he wrote, "I think it would be advantageous to secure what data can be obtained by using large monkeys such as chimpanzees." But Dr. Hamilton warned: "If this is to be done in humans, I feel that those concerned in the Atomic Energy Commission would be subject to considerable criticism as admittedly this would have a little of the Buchenwald touch."
The memorandum, made available to The Times by Dr. David S. Egilman, a physician from Rhode Island who teaches at Brown University and has investigated instances of human experimentation by the military and the Atomic Energy Commission. Dr. Egilman said the memorandum was a clear indication that the Government's own nuclear scientists knew they were working at the very edges of medical ethics. Both Dr. Warren and Dr. Hamilton are dead.
"Based on their own documents and the history of medical ethics, they knew clearly at the time that the studies were unethical," Dr. Egilman said. "They called this work, in effect, Nazi-like. The argument we hear is that these experiments were ethical at the time they were done. It's simply not true."
Mr. Brush, said the memorandum would become part of the extensive review of human radiation experimentation called for by Secretary O'Leary.
"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

I guess, for some reason, radiation is the choice means of death to humans.
Now they have the radiation chambers set up in airports with intention to put them "everywhere" right down to the entrance to the store you need to shop in for food.
My conclusion is the radiation experiments, which are obviously not meant to cure cancer, are conducted to find the most efficient "dose" that can be given to cause death -- while, at the same time, no one noticing that the radiation is responsible.
Three workers at the Japan nuclear power plant were taken to the hospital due to radiation exposure. There is doublespeak in the Japanese news. A statement was made that: 1. The hospitalized workers are showing no signs of illness & 2. It is not certain that the exposure to radiation occurred from the nuclear power plant.

In tests on the survivors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, researchers found that the effects of radiation exposure did not 'show' right away... the effects came later in the form of birth defects. I'll post that info shortly with links. This is the perfect eugenics weapon: it affects all future generations of the person who is exposed.

Initial studies claimed that although there were deaths of children in utero as a result of radiation from the blasts in
Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they saw no increases in leukemia in the same group. They tested only those people who
were in sight of the blast/flash from the bombs.
But these studies were flawed: the exposure was more deadly for those outside the area where the flash of the bomb
could be seen: the fallout was blown out into the suburbs of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Once they began studying those
populations, they discovered a sharp increase in the number of leukemia cases in the years following
the blasts at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
So when Japanese news reports "
the hospitalized workers show no signs of radiation damage
" they are misleading
people into believing that the damage is something that can be 'seen'. No, it is not. It won't show up for years.
The Hidden Tragedy of Hiroshima
From page 36:
... But there remained one major difficulty in accepting the evidence for an increase in
leukemia, and that was the fact that the studies of the children conceived after the atomic explosions
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 had shown no such increase in leukemia, or in any other radiation
effects, for that matter.
There had, of course, been
very serious effects on the infants who were in the womb at the time of
the explosions. A large fraction of these infants were lost through premature death, while among the
few that survived more than a year, many suffered from congenital malformations and mental
retardation. Of those unborn children who had been about one mile from the explosions and received
estimated doses of 10 to 20 rads, nearly a third were found to have reduced brain size and mental
But among the many children conceived after the explosions, there appeared to be no effects, as
opposed to the situation in Troy.
Late in 1966, I was given a copy of the preliminary results of a Yale University study of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki carried out by Dr. S. Finch and a group of colleagues and sponsored by the Atomic
Bomb Casualty Commission. The study involved an examination of the incidence of leukemia among
some 17,000 children whose parents had been within 2000 meters of the explosions. Radiation doses
ranged from about 3 to 30 rads, with a few as large as a hundred. These were certainly much larger
than the doses from typical pelvic X-rays received by the mothers in the study by Dr. Saxon Graham,
doses which increased the risk of childhood leukemia among the children conceived many years later
by as much as 100 percent.
The control group used for comparison purposes in the Yale study consisted of the population in
the suburbs farther than 2500 or 3500 meters from the explosion, where the radiation from the bomb
was calculated to have been less than that from natural background. With such a tremendous
difference in doses, there could be no question that there should be a substantial difference in effects.
Furthermore, since there had been virtually no fallout in the two cities, the doses had been calculated
from the instantaneous flash of the bombs alone. Such a flash was similar to the way in which the
dose from diagnostic X-rays is delivered, so, if anything, the results of Dr. Grahams study should
have been even more applicable to this situation than to Troy, where the fallout dose was delivered
over a period of months or years.
Still another study of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had also found a similar lack of effect. This study
had been conducted over a period of nearly two decades by Drs. J. V. Neel and W. J. Schull of the
Department of Human Genetics at the University of Michigan. The puzzling nature of the results was
emphasized by Dr. Neel himself during the course of a lecture series in 1963: "In view of the vast
body of data regarding the mutagenic effects of radiation,
it can scarcely be doubted that the survivors
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki sustained genetic damage."
To this he added: "The question is not Is
there damage? but rather Can the damage be detected?"
It was clear that, unless this problem could be resolved, any evidence on the Troy incident would
always be subject to this serious criticism. Accordingly, one day I decided to look up the original
data on the radiation dose measurements for the two Japanese cities, collected by E. T. Arakawa of
the AECs Oak Ridge National Laboratories.
And as I examined Arakawas figures, I noticed that
while there had indeed been little fallout in Hiroshima and Nagasaki proper, the fallout had drifted
down on the suburbs a few miles away.
But if there had been fallout in the suburbs and beyond,
and this fallout was far more damaging to
the ova, the embryo, and the infant than anyone had realized when the studies were set up, then the
so-called nonexposed control populations beyond about 3000 meters, the groups used for comparison
purposes, had in fact also been affected by the radiation
. And just as in the case of Lades
comparison of the leukemia rate in the Albany-Troy-Schenectady area with that in nearby areas of
upstate New York, a search for a difference would fail to indicate any effect.
The fallout doses were by no means small. Arakawa reported that in the western suburbs of
Hiroshima, namely Furue, Takasu, and Koi, about 5000 meters from the blast, the external radiation
dose from the fallout in the environment alone probably amounted to several radsat least twenty
times what Dr. Clark and his students were to estimate for the Troy population eight years later.
In the case of Nagasaki, the fallout had been even heavier, giving external doses as high as 100 rads in
the suburb of Nishiyama. This was a thousand times greater than in Troy. Such doses would greatly
increase the leukemia rate for the children born all over the nearby regions that had been supposedly
free of radiation, completely masking the effect if one looked only for a comparative difference, and
not for an increase over the rate for preceding years. It seemed incredible that the possible effects of
such large doses could have been overlooked in the two major studies of the effects of atomic
warfare, yet they had been.
A few months later, in the spring of 1967, after I had taken up my new position as professor of
radiation physics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, I came across the evidence that
confirmed this conclusion. It was contained in a paper published in the New England Journal of
Medicine, bringing up to date all the findings on leukemia among the survivors of the two Japanese
cities. One glance at the first figure told the story.
As compared to the rate for the preceding years, not only had there been a rise in leukemia incidence
among those who were less than 1500 meters from the explosions, but there was a similar though
somewhat smaller rise for the population beyond 10,000 meters who could not possibly have received
any of the direct radiation from the flash of the bomb.
Both rises followed the characteristic pattern of radiation-caused leukemia.

Quote from: Pilikia on March 12, 2011, 01:42:45 PM
Initial studies claimed that although there were deaths of children in utero as a result of radiation from the blasts in
Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they saw no increases in leukemia in the same group. They tested only those people who
were in sight of the blast/flash from the bombs.
But these studies were flawed: the exposure was more deadly for those outside the area where the flash of the bomb
could be seen: the fallout was blown out into the suburbs of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Once they began studying those
populations, they discovered a sharp increase in the number of leukemia cases in the years following
the blasts at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
So when Japanese news reports "
the hospitalized workers show no signs of radiation damage
" they are misleading
people into believing that the damage is something that can be 'seen'. No, it is not. It won't show up for years.
Radiation levels rise above limit at quake-hit plant: Kyodo
(Reuters) - Radiation levels have risen above the safety limit around Tokyo Electric Power Co's (TEPCO) nuclear plant hit by a massive earthquake and the company has informed the government of an "emergency situation," Kyodo agency reported on Sunday.
It did not mean an immediate threat to human health, the company said.
The company said earlier that it had started releasing steam from a reactor at the plant. A similar rise in radiation levels occurred after the company released radioactive steam from another reactor to let go of pressure. Then again the company was obliged to inform the government of an "emergency situation."

Swollen lymph nodesDefinitionLymph nodes are found throughout your body. They are an important part of your immune system. Lymph nodes help your body recognize and fight germs, infections, and other foreign substances. The term "swollen glands" refers to enlargement of one or more lymph nodes. In a child, a node is considered enlarged if it is more than 1 centimeter (0.4 inch) wide. See also: Lymphadenitis and lymphangitis Alternative NamesSwollen glands; Glands - swollen; Lymph nodes - swollen; Lymphadenopathy ConsiderationsCommon areas where the lymph nodes can be felt (with the fingers) include:
CausesInfections are the most common cause of swollen lymph nodes. Infections that can cause them include:
Immune or autoimmune disorders that can cause swollen lymph nodes are:
Cancers that can cause swollen lymph nodes include:
However, many other cancers may also cause this problem. Certain medications can cause swollen lymph nodes, including:
Which lymph nodes are swollen depends on the cause and the body parts involved. Swollen lymph nodes that appear suddenly and are pain are usually due to injury or infection. Slow, painless swelling may be due to cancer or a tumor. Home CarePainful lymph nodes are generally a sign that your body is fighting an infection. The soreness usually goes away in a couple days, without treatment. The lymph node may not return to its normal size for several weeks. When to Contact a Medical ProfessionalCall your doctor or nurse if:
What to Expect at Your Office VisitYour doctor or nurse will perform a physical examination and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:

Happy belated Valentine's Day.
Mine wasn't so great. Basically, without going into detail, my brother is going through a REALLY tough time, marriage-wise, so I ended up hanging out with him.
It was great to spend time with him, but so many times, I found myself really not knowing AT ALL what to say to him. Several times he asked me what I thought he should do, and I honestly didn't know. This wasn't a clear cut situation, but sometimes, in other situations where friends ask me advice about their relationships, I feel like I DO know I do know if I don't like a guy, or if I feel she's too obsessed with him, or if I feel like they're not a good match.
So, in those cases, where I have strong opinions, I generally keep quiet, or maybe allude to things but never say them out right.
What about you when it comes to advice in relationships, do you tell all or do you keep quiet?
I'm a single girl who's spent the past seven years working, living (and loving) in New York City. My pink Filofax is filled with dates and girly confabs and yoga classes and pretty much whatever I want to do. But I still feel a little stab of terror when one of my friends gets engaged or announces she's moving in with her boyfriend. Read More ...

Remove Images Letters March 20, 2008 KNOWS HAWAI'I In Starr Begley's "Selling Local" article (March 6, 2008), she basically portrayed popular "Hawaiian" products as being based on pride or prejudice... either you're proud to be "grown here not flown here" or prejudiced with "Valley Isle not Haole Isle." This is all stuff that caters to a narrow mentality and the pride value is superficial. No one gets to choose what race they are born into... While much of this is humorous in a DeLima-esque kind of way and not ill-intended, local entrepreneurs are missing out on an aspect of Hawai'i that you won't find anywhere else: our native plants, animals, and watersheds. You can find cockfighting and pigs in every country of the world (by the way, the feral pigs in our mountains are from Europe—NOT Hawai'i). You cannot find beautiful birds like the i'iwi or 'akohekohe outside of Hawai'i... you cannot find koa trees outside of Hawai'i; this list could go on and on with the amazing numbers of plants and animals ONLY from Hawai'i. Much of Hawaiian culture is based on these endemic plants and the special uses Hawaiians found for them. But instead, T-shirts, hats, calendars, postcards show imported things like mongoose, parrots and foreign pretty tropical flowers, misleading people (even locals) into thinking those things are the real Hawai'i. People, take real pride in this special place you live! Learn about and celebrate these living things in Hawai'i that are not part of a homogenized American culture! Get up into your forested watersheds and National Park and become a part of protecting these "real" Hawaiian icons! And please, somebody with a business sense start making bumper stickers, shirts and hats that show the real Hawai'i. -Pat Bily, Kula Starr Begley responds:You have many good points, but Ifeel that you may have misunderstood the angle of the story "Selling Local" which was to highlight the commercialization of "local" culture, not the Hawaiian culture. HATES RESTLESS NATIVE, MARGARET CHO I have never read your [Restless Native] column before but I certainly will not bother again because your language is so raunchy. Guess that is why you liked Margaret Cho. She has always been disgustingly raunchy when I made the mistake of hearing her. Sorry your vocabulary is so limited! -"Stateside reader," via Mauitime.com ROB'S FANS CHECK IN Such an interesting article (! You are so fortunate to talk with a native Balinese person. Feels like real inside insight! Keep it coming. -Lois Inez, via Mauitime.com I hope this weekly paper appreciates what an interesting, intelligent columnist it has here in the Rob Report. Items are always well written and thought provoking. Lets hope they will provoke some helpful actions. -Al Mohaupt, via Mauitime.com LIVINGRIGHT [In regards to "In the Name of the 'Father'" by Anthony Pignataro on February 28, 2008] Ms. Bragg clearly stated her intent not to subdivide her Waiehu property. Ms. Bragg told Maui Time Weekly, "I never had any intention of subdividing the land." Ms. Bragg shares with us the reason she purchased the property "sight-unseen in eight minutes" telling Maui Time Weekly, "The only reason Ibought the land was to save the trees." I admire Ms. Bragg for saying these comforting words. I would truly believe them and so would many others if Ms. Bragg would now show us she's telling the truth. Ms. Bragg could show us and personally receive benefits by changing the zoning of the agricultural portions of her property to 'conservation' zoning. This would allow her to save the trees and prohibit anyone from subdividing and developing the land. Thousands of the macadamia nut trees growing on Ms. Bragg's property are already in conservation zoning. Reclassifying the agricultural land would guarantee Ms. Bragg exactly what she wants, no subdividing, no development, and protection for the trees. We all do not live forever, so while we are alive we can do what is right. Doing what you say is living the right way. -Paul Winters, Wailuku |

Globally setting the change event policy for all data bindings

Please see Fusion Dev Gide.
Copying relevant content for your ref...
When you create a form, setting up PPR to work for all the components in the form
can be time consuming and error prone. To alleviate this, you can set the
changeEventPolicy attribute to ppr on value bindings. Doing so means that
anytime the associated component's value changes as a result of backend business
logic, the component will be automatically rerendered. You can also set an iterator
binding's changeEventPolicy to ppr. When you do this, any action or value
binding associated with the iterator will act as though its changeEventPolicy is set
to PPR. This allows entire forms to use PPR without your having to configure each
component separately. - June 13, 2011 at 9:43 PM

Things Every Incoming PhD Student Needs to Know
Welcome to Carnegie Mellon and…
…We are glad you have accepted our offer of admission!
Welcome to Carnegie Mellon! We are very excited that you will be joining the Software Engineering PhD program and the CMU University Community. Before you arrive on campus, we want to bring to your attention several important items from a variety of departments. A great place to start is at our Welcome Graduate Student page.
Graduate Student Orientation
Carnegie Mellon University will host the University Graduate Student Orientation on August 12- 15, 2013 for all new entering graduate students. The program and registration will be available July 1, 2013 at www.cmu.edu/graduate. Questions can be addressed to email@example.com
International graduate students are required to participate in the Office of International Education's program which will be the morning of August 13 if they have not participated in an earlier orientation program that month, see http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/oie/index.html for additional information.
ISR will hold their Department Orientation on August 22nd. Agenda and location will be send via email in early August. All ISR faculty will present a brief overview of all research in their areas. Addition departmental information will also be provided in the orientation session.
Please hold all dates listed above.
Student ID Number Information
Newly admitted students will need their student ID (SID) number (as entered into the SIS), as well as their Andrew userID and password to access all secure sites at Carnegie Mellon University. This includes Student Information Online (SIO) where students can access their electronic bills (E--Bills), account activity, course schedule, and grades (if applicable), as well as update their contact information.
Your academic department uses a unique, random number as your student ID number.
Your Student ID number along with your Andrew information will be sent under a separate email.
Computing Services
Your Andrew account is your key to accessing the university's computing services, such as the Carnegie Mellon Web Portal, Computing clusters and E-mail. You can learn what your account and e-mail address is by visiting the Carnegie Mellon directory webpage: http://www.cmu.edu/computing/new-user/graduate/accounts.html you may also set your password on the same link.
Your password is the first *8* digits of your Student ID number. To retrieve your student ID number see below instructions above "Retrieval of Student ID Number"
Information and instructions useful for solving many common computing problems can be found at the following link: http://www.cmu.edu/computing/myandrew
Sorry, I cannot help you with Andrew computer accounts. If you need to email the Andrew Help Center, do so at: (firstname.lastname@example.com)
For urgent problems, please contact the Computing Services Help Center directly at 412-268-HELP, Monday-Friday 9AM to 5PM. After 5PM Monday-Friday, and on weekends, please report systems outages and area-wide network problems to Computer Operations at 412-268-6688.
University Health Insurance Premiums and Payment Plan Options
All incoming students are required to submit health history and immunization information. After May 15, visit HealthConnect for instructions on how to complete these forms. Students have until June 30 to submit this information. Carnegie Mellon also has a medical insurance mandate. Students are default charged for medical insurance each year, and must either enroll in the plan or complete a waiver form certifying you are enrolled on an employer or government-based plan that meets certain coverage requirements. For details on the mandate, enrollment and waiver forms, visit Student Insurance.
You have until September 2 to make your insurance decision. Our online waiver program is accessible on the website now, and our online enrollment program will be available by June 1. If you intend to stay on your existing insurance plan (your parents, for example) you will need to complete our waiver form and the default charge will be removed.
Complete information about health insurance plans and coverage is available on-line at University Health Services you can find out the various plans, the costs, and enroll on-line from this site. Cost of the current plans range from $1,043 - $2,231 per year for individual policies. (The rates listed are subject to change). All full-time students are required to carry health insurance and will be assessed a charge for the individual basic mandatory plan offered through the university student health insurance program. The charge will appear on the invoice of the first semester of attendance in the academic cycle. The student is required to take one of the following three actions:
- Enroll in the basic plan as charged.
- Upgrade the benefit plan by enrolling in the enhanced student health insurance options during the open enrollment period.
- Apply for a waiver from the mandatory plan.
Payment Options
Enrollment does not offer payroll deduction as a means to pay for health insurance. Carnegie Mellon is pleased to extend the services of Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to help you afford the health insurance cost. The TMS Health Insurance Monthly Payment Option allows you to spread your health insurance premium over nine monthly installments for a $25 enrollment fee. The installments begin in September and end in May. Please see the information on this new payment option at the University Health Services web site.
While housing for graduate students is not available on campus, the Carnegie Mellon Housing Office provides several resources to assist graduate students in finding suitable housing in nearby neighborhoods. I have included the list of the name and email addresses of those who will be starting the program in the fall. Please feel free to use this list to contact some of the others especially if you are looking for a roommate. By seeking out housing early, you beat the undergraduate/graduate rush that tends to happen in the early part of August. The best place to start is by accessing the On-Line Community Housing Listings, The URL is: http://www.housing.cmu.edu/communityhousing/ Click on "Search for a Listing in the Housing Registry" LOGIN: your Andrew id Password:Your Andrew password (Is the first 8-digits of your student id#)
Student Informaion On-Line (SIO) & Registration for Courses
Newly Admitted Students will need their student ID (SID) number (as entered into the SIS), as well as their Andrew userID and password to access all secure sites at Carnegie Mellon University. This includes Student Information Online (SIO) where students can access their electronic bills (E-Bills), account activity, course schedule, and grades (if applicable), as well as update their contact information.Student Information On-Line (SIO) is where students check their enrollment data, schedules classes, review account balances and grades. http://www.cmu.edu/hub/registration/graduates/index.html
SIO is also where students can update their address information. Your current address information is important because information will be sent to your local address throughout the year. We also need accurate information in the event of an emergency. Please update this address information as soon as you have it. To view or update your address information, visit SIO at http://www.cmu.edu/hub/sio and select the My Info tab. You can then update your information as necessary and click the submit button to save any changes. All address data is updated immediately within the system.
You may also order enrollment verifications on SIO. Enrollment verification is your proof of enrollment at Carnegie Mellon. This is often requested by insurance companies wanting to verify that you are enrolled or by scholarship committees wanting to know if you have maintained a certain QPA. This SIO feature cannot be used until you are registered for courses and enrolled for classes.
In the meantime, if you need a letter stating that you are expected to enroll at Carnegie Mellon, please e-mail the details of your request to firstname.lastname@example.com. Note that requesting a proof of enrollment to continue on private insurance does not waive a student from the university's student insurance plan. See "University Health Services" above for details on how to request a waiver from the student insurance plan.
University Registrar's Office
Your Andrew e-mail account is your conduit for official and important Carnegie Mellon communications. Please check it frequently over the summer and during your academic career. Official Carnegie Mellon notifications are sent to valid Andrew account users using the @andrew.cmu.edu e-mail address (example: email@example.com). If you choose to use an alternate e-mail address (i.e. @yahoo; @Gmail, etc), then you should forward your @andrew.cmu.edu e-mail to your preferred/alternate e-mail address to ensure that you receive all official university communications.
Financial Support
The Enrollment Services office will forward preliminary registration information to you during the summer, including an invoice showing the amount of your tuition for the fall semester. Please fill out the forms as requested and return them directly to Enrollment Services, indicating that tuition will be deducted from your monthly support payment from the SE PhD program. If all forms are filled out properly and returned on time, your registration will be completed by mail. If not, you will have an opportunity to complete "late enrollment" after you arrive.
For those receiving support paid through CMU, monthly support checks are distributed on the last working day of each month, beginning on September 30. In order to get "on the payroll" you are required by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to complete an I-9 Form, showing that you are either a U.S. citizen, or have permission to be employed. Citizens of the U.S. must show either a valid U.S. passport, or a state-issued driver's license PLUS an ORIGINAL Social Security Card or a birth certificate bearing a seal. Those who are not U.S. citizens must show their passport (with attached employment authorization Form I-9, which will be issued by the CMU Foreign Student Advisor during foreign student orientation.) Please be sure that you have these documents with you when you arrive.
Take Home Pay
We cannot say exactly how much "take-home" pay a student will receive, since each individual case is different. However, we can tell you that:
- Your tuition will not be taxed on any level.
- Your stipend pay will not be taxed for social security.
- Your stipend pay will not be taxed for Pennsylvania.
- Your stipend pay will not be taxed for the city of Pittsburgh or any other municipality if your stipend stays solely for the advancement of your education, your work is closed supervised and primarily for your benefit and required of all students in your degree program, your stipend will not be subject to EIT(Earned Income Tax). Other employment, such for example as a second position grading papers, would be subject to EIT withholding. In any event, you must e-sign the PA Residency Certification form.
- Your stipend will be taxed federally, based on how you complete the form W4 (Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate).
Therefore, an unemployed student who has no dependents, and will not be dependent on his/her parents will most likely have a W4 form showing 2 withholding allowances. If that is the case, using the IRS 2003 "Tables for Percentage Method of Withholding" (table 4), of the $2,075 gross stipend, federal tax would be approximately $157.00.
NOTE that this does not include a deduction for your health insurance. This cost must be paid separately.
If you have been awarded any type of fellowship, external funding or was awarded any NSF or NDSEG fellowship, please contact Connie Herold, Ph.D. Student Programs Coordinator for ISR (412-268-4545) or firstname.lastname@example.com Allowance
If your spouse is unemployed, or earns less than $200 per month, you are entitled to a dependency allowance. A dependency allowance of 10% per month of the SCS base stipend amount for each eligible dependent is paid to a Ph. D student provided that his or her spouse or qualifying domestic partner earns $200.00 or less per month. In Academic Year 2013-2014, base stipend is $2,500 and the allowance per eligible depend is $250.00.
For the recipient of an outside fellowship, the dependency allowance is added after the student's monthly stipend amount has been determined based on the "Stipend Supplement for External Support" policy.
If you are NOT a U.S. Citizen you will receive the I-20 Form, which will allow you to obtain the F-1 student visa. However, the I-20 cannot be issued until we receive a completed International Student Information Form from you. Please note that you are not required to provide any proof of financial support unless you have legal dependents (spouse and/or children). In that case you may be required to show that you have additional funds available to support the dependents. If you are already in the U.S., you will request a transfer through your Foreign Student Advisor rather than receiving a new I-20 form. For additional information regarding visas you may want to visit the Office of International Education web site.
International students will also receive information with your I-20 Form regarding the International Student Orientation program sponsored by the Office of International Education,. While this program is not mandatory, it is strongly suggested that you attend, especially if you have not previously resided in the US. If you are not able to attend during this period, you will be required to attend an orientation session before the end of the first week of the semester in order for your enrollment to be complete, and to maintain your valid visa status. An important part of the orientation are instructions of how to obtain a social security number which you will need in order to receive your monthly stipend.
Change of Address
Please notify Connie Herold or Helen Higgins of any address changes throughout your time here at Carnegie Mellon. Also update your address in the Student Information System.
Information Regarding Registration for Courses
For schedule of courses and to register go to The HUB. You should register for the following courses:
- 17-791 Software Research Seminar (SSSG) 3 Units
- 17-997 Graduate Reading and Research (units vary)
Settling In Guidelines
The Settling In Guide has been written to help our various international populations adjust and get to know Carnegie Mellon University; however, it is also very helpful to ALL new students!
Student ID Card & Bus Sticker
You will be able to obtain your student ID card the week of the Immigration Course. International students will receive their CMU ID cards during the International Student Orientation. You should also see on your ID card a PAT (Public Transportation) imprint that entitles you to free public transportation. You may also apply for your student card online prior to arriving at ID Card Services.

Regling: Euro crisis over by 2014
The head of the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF), Klaus Regling, has forecasted that Europe's debt problem will be over by the end of 2014 and that there is no chance that the euro-zone will collapse.
Speaking to German newspaper, Der Spiegel, Mr. Regling also singled out Ireland, as one of the countries hardest hit by the crisis, for their durability and how well it has gotten back on its feet. He pointed to all euro-zone countries' commitments to cut deficits as an indication that the euro will survive.
"One can justifiably expect the crisis to be over within two to three years. In all euro-zone countries the fundamentals are improving," he said.
He also commented on the possibility on the fears that the euro-zone could collapse. He called on all countries to put in motion their savings plans and said that there was no chance of the euro-zone falling apart because all member countries, weak and strong alike, had a vested interest in the euro-zone's survival.
The EFSF is a €440 billion fund to assist any countries that have been adversely affected by the economic downturn and has already bailed out Greece, Portugal and Ireland. It raises money on the markets then lends to countries needing help from the EU-IMF. All borrowings are guaranteed by the big European countries and the EFSF currently holds a AAA credit rating.

The photographer SEO interview series gives insight to individual photographer experiences with implementing search engine optimization. I find it insightful and helpful to learn from their growth and mistakes.
Michael and Rebecca Bielat's Michael Alan Bielat Photography have captured chic, modern weddings and relaxed, lifestyle portraits since 2006. Michael also teaches photography via his inLIGHTin Workshop, with online learning and articles for photographers of all skill sets and disciplines. I asked him some questions about how his growth with search engine traffic and how SEO impacted his business.
What does SEO mean to your business?
Michael: SEO allows me to keep generating new clientele from month to month so it really is the life of my business. You have probably heard that word-of-mouth is the best way to advertise but how do you get clients to come to you in the first place? You can only do jobs for friends and family for so long hopping that they tell others. There are amazing statistics out there in regards to how the internet and web searches are becoming more of the norm so you have to utilize it to its fullest in order to succeed. Having the best SEO possible ensures that you show up when people are searching for your specialties.
Zach Prez: That makes me laugh. I saw a note from David Jay on Facebook about how SEO takes a photographer's focus away from word of mouth. I don't agree. Maybe for someone who is already VERY successful, it can be a distraction. My good friend was brand new to the area and started her business largely in part because of search. I think SEO is a great way to build that initial client base, then those satisfied customers can help you grow from word-of-mouth.
Did something happen that made you realize that your SEO efforts needed an overhaul?
Michael: When I started my business in 2006, it was called "Michael Alan Photography." My wife was always helping out though and even was my associate shooter. I always thought that is was selfish to have the business under my name only so we made the decision to rename the business to "Paramour Photography" (Paramour translates to "With Love") at the end of 2009. When we did this it was like we had to start all over to get new business. SEO was now more important than ever so I really read up as much as possible and implemented everything I could.
Zach Prez: I would add that you can never sell a business named after yourself and the keywords of that name won't help you in search.
How do paid listings compare to non-paid SEO?
Michael: I would drop $25-50 here and there for Google Adwords and Facebook Advertising. I did only a couple paid link exchanges but those were never more than $6 a month. I just went with the top link exchange websites that showed up at the top of keywords that I wanted my business to be associated with. "Buffalo Wedding Photographers", "weddings in buffalo" stuff like that.
The only real results I saw was they they were very good at deducting money from my account! Google Adwords was beneficial in showing me "hot" keywords that my ads were showing up under. I looked on the ones with the most impressions and the ones with the best click rate and really ran with those for my personal SEO endeavors. So I think using Google AdWords for a tiny bit may actually be helpful to get some information on juicy keywords.
Zach Prez: Interesting point… Google AdWords can be a useful keyword research tool. But traffic always stops when you stop paying them, so it always goes back to building organic (free) placement. Too bad you didn't have my How to Build a Photographer Master Keyword List Video Training available at the time. It would have saved you some dough.
What percentage of your new clients come from search?
Michael: 50% or more come from the web. Being primarily wedding photographers, brides are always new to the scene. They get married and then they are out. So when new clients come to us, it is either because a friend referred us to them or they seen our work online. Portraits are the same way for us but we strive to create relationships with everyone and that helps generate repeat business with them.
What's your best SEO tip?
Michael: Besides your ebook that caught TONS of little things I was missing in my SEO, get a blog and get one now! I learned over the years that Google is sort of like one big popularity contest. It likes seeing that reputable people are linking to your site, you are linking to other reputable sites and that you are updating your site! Having a blog is great because you can do a lot of SEO magic with it. There are great WordPress plug-ins to make things easier as well. Plus, you don't have to be a web designer of Flash guru to make a real cool website. Flash sites look cool and they are well, flashy, but they are horrendous for SEO.
With blogs, search engines can see all your text and content which is awesome. Plus, making new blog entries is a breeze and it has a great user interface as well. With my flash site, I never update it so it is pointless. I would definitely recommend going with an external hosting provider to keep your WordPress blog rather than just using the simple one that you can make on WordPress.org's site because you have a lot more customization that you can do with it.
Zach Prez: Excellent advice. I talk about that exact point in Photography Blog SEO Nirvana: Plugins & a Theme to Get You Ranked
Do you have a favorite SEO Tool?
Michael: A few, actually. Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools and there are a ton of plug-ins for the Mozilla Firefox web browser that I love and use all the time. Firebug and Rank Checker are my favorites.
Zach Prez: Yeah, Rank checker is great for checking where you are ranked for a list of keywords that you have in mind. Google Webmaster Tools is excellent for seeing where you rank for everything (including things you may not know about). I have a products on that as well: Video Training: How to Track Keywords and SEO for Your Photography Site
