US Nuclear ‘Fort Knox’ Cracked By 82-Year-Old Nun | ZeroHedge

It’s the weekend so forgive us this modest sidetrack but this ‘Onion-esque’ story was just too good to ignore.The company at the center of the Olympics’ security debacle, G4S (whose directors resigned just yesterday over the “humiliating shambles”) has gone one better. AsReuters reports, Megan Rice – an 82-year-old nun – cut perimeter fences and reached the outer wall where enriched uranium was stored at the US Government’s nuclear storage ‘Fort Knox’ in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Can you guess who was responsible for the ‘outsourced’ security that enabled this SNAFU? G4S’ subsidiary Babcock & Wilcox Co. (B&W). Energy Secretary Steven Chu has said the incident was an important “wake-up call” for the entire nuclear complex. An investigation last month found a security camera had been broken for about six months and was part of a backlog of repairs needed for security at the facility. Several top-ranking NNSA officials have been ‘reassigned’ (Gulag?) but have no fear as B&W have stated that the active union workers involved will all be employed elsewhere. One more example of the ineptitude of government oversight, the unintended consequence of crony capitalism, or simply another ‘fool-me-once…’/unpunished debacle?

2,053 Nuclear Explosions in One Video – Mental Floss

Artist Isao Hashimoto created an animation showing every nuclear test between 1945 (the first Manhattan Project test, called Trinity) and 1998 (a test in Pakistan). The total number? 2,053, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Note that this number doesn’t include the rumored North Korean tests in 2006 and 2009. While the video starts slowly, by the late 1950s things are getting intense. Testing peaks in 1962, when over a hundred blasts are shown. You can follow the running tally at the top of the screen to see who’s testing, when, and where. After twelve minutes, the video goes silent and runs through the tests by country of origin, so you can see who’s blowing up what, where.Hashimoto said (emphasis added): “This piece of work is a bird’s eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world.“

The media attention given recently to the phenomenon of bullying in schools, is truly a cause for celebration. Finally our world has begun to take seriously the plight of children: the most powerless sector of the community. Initiatives under way in schools are designed to intervene by identifying bullies and their victims, and then providing counseling and education in more effective social skills. Programs have been developed to teach school bullies alternative behaviors, impulse control, conflict resolution and negotiation skills. The victims of bullying are offered support, protection, and trained in assertiveness wherever practicable…

Is Alzheimer’s Type 3 Diabetes?

Just in case you need another reason to cut back on junk food, it now turns out that Alzheimer’s could well be a form of diet-induced diabetes. That’s the bad news. The good news is that laying off soda, doughnuts, processed meats and fries could allow you to keep your mind intact until your body fails you.
