High radiation detected in water at plant

Tokyo Electric Power Company says it has detected high levels of radioactive substances in water that 3 workers were exposed to at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The company says 3.9 million becquerels of radioactive substances per cubic centimeter were detected in the water that the workers were standing in. That is 10,000 times higher than levels of the water inside a nuclear reactor in operation. The level of radioactive cerium-144 was 2.2 million becquerels. Also, 1.2 million becquerels of iodine-131 was measured. These substances are generated during nuclear fission inside a reactor. Tokyo Electric says damage to the No.3 reactor and spent nuclear fuel rods in a storage pool may have produced the highly radioactive water. On Thursday, 2 of the 3 workers were taken to hospital after being exposed to 173 to 180 millisieverts of radiation while standing in 15-centimeters of water in the turbine building adjacent to the reactor. A third worker was also exposed to the higher-level radiation but did not require treatment. Read more at www3.nhk.or.jp

Japan want bottled water from S Korea

Bottled water manufacturers in South Korea are working full throttle to meet soaring demand from Japan, after radioactive substances were detected in tap water. A major beverage maker based in Seoul says monthly orders from Japanese clients have doubled. The company received more than 100 inquiries a day on Wednesday and Thursday after higher-than-normal radioactive iodine levels were detected in tap water in Tokyo and Fukushima Prefecture earlier this week. The company says it has diverted its products for the domestic market to Japan and extended operation hours at its plants, but still cannot meet demand. An official says that the company is trying to respond to requests from Japanese customers. Read more at www3.nhk.or.jp

Japan Radioactive water in 6 prefectures

Radioactive water detected in 6 prefectures

Radioactive water has been detected at water purification facilities in Tokyo and 5 other prefectures. The level of radioactive iodine-131 at 18 purification plants exceeds Japan's safety limit for infants. Radioactive iodine-131 does not exist in nature. Experts believe it was carried by the wind from the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to surrounding areas, and then washed down into rivers by rain. The governments of Tokyo, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Chiba, Saitama and Tochigi prefectures have detected more than 100 becquerels of iodine per liter of water, above the safety level for infants under 12 months. But the water is safe for adults because it's not above the 300 becquerel safety limit for them. Hosei University professor and air-borne contamination expert Kentaro Murano says it's hard to predict where the radioactive substances will spread, because the wind blows in various directions at this time of year. Murano says people should not overreact when they see small changes in levels. He points out that if it rains several times, all the radioactive substances in the air and on the ground will be washed out to sea. Professor Murano says the radioactivity in the water will decrease to safer levels within 2 weeks. But he warns that if more radioactive substances are emitted from the nuclear plant, the impact of the radioactivity will continue for some time to come. Read more at www3.nhk.or.jp

More U.S. states find traces of radiation from Japan

Colorado and Oregon have joined several other Western states in reporting trace amounts of radioactive particles that have likely drifted about 5,000 miles from a quake and tsunami-damaged nuclear power plant in Japan, officials say.

But, on a portion of its website dedicated to tracking such radiation, the Environmental Protection Agency noted Wednesday that these and other readings “show typical fluctuation in background radiation levels” and — thus far — “are far below levels of concern.”

Sampling from a monitor in Colorado — part of a national network of stations on the lookout for radioactivity — detected miniscule amounts of iodine-131, a radioactive form of iodine, the state’s public health and environmental department said Wednesday in a press release.

Pastor canned after endorsing book

Pastor canned after endorsing controversial book

DURHAM, NC - When Chad Holtz lost his old belief in hell, he also lost his job.

The pastor of a rural United Methodist church in North Carolina wrote a note on his Facebook page supporting a new book by Rob Bell, a prominent young evangelical pastor and critic of the traditional view of hell as a place of eternal torment for billions of damned souls.

Two days later, Holtz was told complaints from church members prompted his dismissal from Marrow's Chapel in Henderson.

"I think justice comes and judgment will happen, but I don't think that means an eternity of torment," Holtz said. "But I can understand why people in my church aren't ready to leave that behind. It's something I'm still grappling with myself."

The debate over Bell's new book Love Wins has quickly spread across the evangelical precincts of the Internet, in part because of an eye-catching promotional video posted on YouTube.

Bell, the pastor of the 10,000-member Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Mich., lays out the premise of his book while the video cuts away to an artist's hand mixing oil paints and pastels and applying them to a blank canvas.

He describes going to a Christian art show where one of the pieces featured a quote by Mohandas Gandhi. Someone attached a note saying: "Reality check: He's in hell."

"Gandhi's in hell? He is? And someone knows this for sure?" Bell asks in the video.

In the book, Bell criticizes the belief that a select number of Christians will spend eternity in the bliss of heaven while everyone else is tormented forever in hell.

"This is misguided and toxic and ultimately subverts the contagious spread of Jesus' message of love, peace, forgiveness and joy that our world desperately needs to hear," he writes in the book.

For many traditional Christians, though, Bell's new book sounds a lot like the old theological position of universalism -- a heresy for many churches, teaching that everyone, regardless of religious belief, will ultimately be saved by God. And that, they argue, dangerously misleads people about the reality of the Christian faith.

"I just felt like on every page he's trying to say 'It's OK,'" said Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler at a forum last week on Bell's book held at the Louisville institution. "And there's a sense in which we desperately want to say that. But the question becomes, on what basis can we say that?"

Bell argues that hell has assumed an outsize importance in Christian teaching, considering the word itself only appears in the New Testament about 12 times, by his count. "For a first-century Jewish rabbi, where you go when you die wasn't the most pressing question," Bell told The Associated Press. "The question was how can you enter into the shalom and peace of God right now, this day."

Bell denies he's a universalist, and his exact beliefs on what happens to people after death are hard to pin down, but he argues that such speculation distracts people from an urgent point. In his telling, hell is something freely chosen that already exists on earth, in everything from war to abusive relationships.

The near-relish with which some Christians stress the torments of hell, Bell argues, keep many believers needlessly afraid of a loving God, and repel potential Christians who might otherwise be curious about the faith's teachings.

"The heart of the Christian story is that God is love," he said. "But when you hear the word 'Christian,' you don't necessarily think 'Oh, sure, those are the people who don't stop talking about God's love.' Some other things would come to mind."

About the only thing everyone agrees on is that this is not a new debate in Christianity. It stretches to antiquity, when Christianity was a persecuted sect in the Roman Empire, and the third-century theologian Origen developed a theory that contemporary critics charged would mean that everyone, even the devil himself, would ultimately be saved. Church leaders eventually condemned ideas they attributed to Origen, but he has had a lasting influence across the Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions.

Those traditions often disagree, even internally, on what awaits souls after death. The Catholic Church, which has a formal process for identifying souls in heaven through canonization, pointedly refrains from saying that anyone is without a doubt in hell. Protestants reject the concept of purgatory, in which sins can be atoned for after death, but disagree on other questions. The lack of consensus is enabled partly by ambiguities in the Bible.

Evangelical opposition to Bell is exemplified in a succinct tweet from prominent evangelical pastor John Piper: "Farewell, Rob Bell."

Page Brooks, a professor at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, thinks Bell errs in a conception of a loving God that leaves out the divine attributes of justice and holiness. "It's love, but it's a just love," Brooks said. "God is love, but you have to understand you're a sinner and the only way to get around that is through Christ's sacrifice on the cross."

Making his new belief public is both liberating and a little frightening for Holtz, even though his doubts about traditional doctrines on damnation began long before he heard about Rob Bell's book.

A married Navy veteran with five children, Holtz spent years trying to reconcile his belief that Jesus Christ's death on the cross redeemed the entire world with the idea that millions of people -- including millions who had never even heard of Jesus -- were suffering forever in hell.

"We do these somersaults to justify the monster god we believe in," he said. "But confronting my own sinfulness, that's when things started to topple for me. Am I really going to be saved just because I believe something, when all these good people in the world aren't?"

Gray Southern, United Methodist district superintendent for the part of North Carolina that includes Henderson, declined to discuss Holtz's departure in detail, but said there was more to it than the online post about Rob Bell's book. "That's between the church and him," Southern said.

Church members had also been unhappy with Internet posts about subjects like gay "marriage" and the mix of religion and patriotism, Holtz said, and the hell post was probably the last straw. Holtz and his family plan to move back to Tennessee, where he'll start a job and maybe plant a church.

"So long as we believe there's a dividing point in eternity, we're going to think in terms of us and them," he said. "But when you believe God has saved everyone, the point is, you're saved. Live like it."

Christian in Bangladesh Goes to Prison for Evangelism

Evangelist given one year for ‘creating chaos’ by distributing literature.

DHAKA, Bangladesh, March 23 (CDN) — A Christian has been sentenced to one year in prison for “creating chaos” by selling and distributing Christian books and other literature near a major Muslim gathering north of this capital city. A magistrate court in Gazipur district handed down the sentence to Biplob Marandi, a 25-year-old tribal Christian, on Feb. 28 after he was arrested near the massive Bishwa Ijtema (World Muslim Congregation) on the banks of the Turag River near Tongi town on Jan. 21. A copy of the verdict says that he was sentenced according to Section 296 of Bangladeshi law 1860 for “creating chaos at a religious gathering.” “Duty police found Marandi creating chaos as he was propagating his religion, Christianity, by distributing the tracts as a mobile court on Jan. 21 was patrolling near the field of the Bishwa Ijtema,” the verdict reads. “The accusation – creating chaos at a Muslim gathering by distributing Christian booklets and tracts – against him was read out in the court before him, and he admitted it. He also told the court that he had mainly wanted to propagate his religion, Christianity.” The Rev. Sailence Marandi, pastor at Church of Nazarene International in northern Thakurgaon district and older brother of Biplob Marandi, told Compass that there was no altercation when his brother was distributing Christian tracts; likewise, the verdict makes no mention of any confrontation. “I guess some fanatic Muslims found my brother’s works un-Islamic,” he said. “They created chaos and handed over my brother to the police and the mobile court.” Pastor Marandi said he could not understand how a court could determine that one man could disturb a gathering of hundreds of thousands of Muslims. “Fanatic Muslims might say this impossible thing, but how can the honorable court can say it?” he said. “In the verdict copy it is written that my brother admitted his offense in the court. This case being very religiously sensitive, I suspect that his confession statement might have been taken under duress.” Pastor Marandi said his brother was selling Christian books to supplement his livelihood as an evangelist on a street near the event, and there were many curious pedestrians of all faiths among Muslims from around the world. “Where there were more people, he would go there for selling books and distributing Christian tracts,” he said. The pastor said he was surprised that Marandi was convicted and sentenced so quickly. “My brother did not get the chance for self-defense in court,” he said. “Without opportunity for self-defense, sentencing him for one year for evangelical activities was a travesty of justice. It cannot be accepted in a democratic country.” He added that the family hired a Muslim lawyer for Marandi who did little for him. “If he had worked, then there would have been cross-examination regarding the confession statement,” Pastor Marandi said. “I think that some Muslim fanatics could not tolerate his evangelical activities near the religious gathering place and handed him over.” The family has since hired a Christian attorney, Lensen Swapon Gomes, who told Compass that he filed an appeal on Monday (March 21) as Marandi’s religious activities were protected by the religious freedom provisions of the country’s constitution. “I appealed to the court for his bail and also appealed for his release from the one-year punishment,” said Gomes. “I hope that the honorable court will consider his case, because he is an innocent man and a victim of circumstances. The offense for which he is convicted is bailable.” The Bangladeshi constitution provides the right for anyone to propagate their religion subject to law, but authorities and communities often objected to efforts to convert people from Islam, according to the U.S. Department of State’s 2010 International Religious Freedom report. Every year several million male Muslims – women are not allowed – attend the event to pray and listen to Islamic scholars from around the world. Some 9,000 foreigners from 108 countries reportedly attended the event, but most of the worshippers are rural Bangladeshis. About 15,000 security personnel were deployed to maintain order. Bangladeshi Muslims equate the annual event with the Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. This year the Bangladesh event was held in two phases, Jan 21-23 and Jan. 28-30. Jagadish Edward, academic dean of Gloria Theological Seminary in Dhaka, told Compass that Marandi had engaged in evangelical work after completing three years at the seminary in 2005. Marandi had come to Dhaka from northern Thakurgaon district some 400 kilometers (249 miles) away. “He was very polite and gentle,” said Edward. “As an evangelist, he knew how to respect other religions. I was really surprised when I heard he was arrested and sentenced for one year.” At the same event in 2009, Muslim pilgrims beat and threatened to kill another Bible school student as he distributed Christian literature. A patrolling Rapid Action Battalion elite force rescued Rajen Murmo, then 20, a student at Believers’ Church Bible College, on Feb. 1, 2009. Bangladesh is the world’s third-largest Muslim-majority nation, with Muslims making up 89 percent of its population of 164.4 million, according to Operation World. Christians are less than 1 percent of the total, and Hindus 9 percent. END *** A photo of Biplob Marandi is available to subscribers, to be used with credit to Compass Direct News.

Alaska Man Child Pornography Charges

Amplify’d from www.fbi.gov

Fort Wainwright Man Sentenced to 11 Years and Eight Months in Federal Prison for Distributing Child Pornography Defendant Used Unsuspecting Neighbor’s Unsecured, Open Wireless Network

ANCHORAGE—United States Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced today that a Fort Wainwright resident was sentenced in federal court in Fairbanks for possessing and distributing child pornography.

Joseph Edward Brannock, 22, a resident of Fort Wainwright, Alaska, was sentenced on March 18, 2011, by Chief United States District Judge Ralph R. Beistline to 11 years and eight months in federal prison, to be followed by 25 years of supervised release.

According to information presented to the court by Assistant United States Attorney Kyle G. French, Brannock distributed child pornography using his neighbor’s open wireless network and an Internet peer-to-peer network. On February 25, 2010, Brannock told an undercover FBI agent to “put up your pedo vids and pics to trade.” The term “pedo” is slang for and an abbreviation of “pedophile” and denotes depictions of prepubescent children being sexually abused. When the agent did not immediately share the materials Brannock requested, Brannock terminated the FBI agent’s connection and file transfers. Brannock also distributed 60 images of child pornography to an FBI agent on April 26, 2011, from file directories containing gigabytes of files called “pthc pics” and “pthc vids.” The term “pthc” is an abbreviation for “preteen hardcore” and, similar to “pedo pics and vids,” denotes depictions of prepubescent children being sexually abused.

With the assistance of Brannock’s neighbor, and in spite of Brannock’s use of peer-to-peer encryption to distribute his child pornography, the FBI identified Brannock and executed a search warrant at Brannock’s Fort Wainwright residence. A federal grand jury in Anchorage, Alaska indicted Brannock for distributing child pornography on July 23, 2010, and the U.S. Army discharged him on October 22, 2010.

At sentencing, the United States describe that forensic analysis of Brannock’s computer revealed hundreds of child pornography videos and images. The majority of the materials depict prepubescent children being sexually abused, including sadistic and violent abuse. In addition, dozens of Brannock’s videos and images depicted infants and toddlers (children under 3 years old) being sexually abused. A few of the victims in Brannock’s materials have been identified, and his conduct reaches children residing in the United States, Germany, France, Belgium, England, Ukraine, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Brazil, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands, and Australia.

“Mr. Brannock is further evidence of a disturbing national trend,” said Ms. Loeffler. “The Department of Justice noted in an August 2010 report to Congress that law enforcement is seeing more violent as well as more prepubescent children and infant victims in child pornography. Alaska is not immune from this trend. Preventing child sex abuse and bringing to justice those who sexually abuse children is a top national and local priority. For those who prey on infants and generate demand for depictions of infant and toddler sex abuse, we will seek longer prison sentences and terms of post-sentence court supervision.”

“Children whose sexual abuse is captured in images and videos suffer not just from the abuse graphically memorialized in the images, but also from a separate victimization, knowing that the images of that abuse are accessible, usually on the Internet, and are traded by other offenders who receive sexual gratification from the children’s distress,” noted Ms. Loeffler.

“Wireless networks are a great way to share your Internet connection with computers and other devices in your home,” said Mr. French, an experienced computer intrusion prosecutor who has a graduate degree in computer science. “The data and transmissions sent to and from your wireless network, however, do not stop at the walls of your home. If you live in an apartment, military base barracks, a dorm, or a condominium, dozens of your neighbors may be able to access your wireless network if your wireless router is not secure. If you live in a house, your immediate neighbors and even people across the street may be able to connect to your network.”

“There are numerous reasons why you should not allow anyone to use your home network without your knowledge and permission,” noted Mr. French. “People who can connect to your wireless network, for example, may be able to slow down your Internet performance, view files on your computers, infect your computers and network, monitor the websites you visit, read your e-mail and instant messages as they travel across the network, discover your user names and passwords, send spam, perform illegal activities with your Internet connection that law enforcement traces to your Internet account and home, or increase your Internet bill if you pay by the amount of data you send and receive.”

“Regrettably, for convenience and rapid setup reasons, most wireless routers are not secure when you first turn them on,” said AUSA French. “However, by taking a few minutes to configure your wireless router’s built-in security features you can make it difficult for uninvited computer or other device users to connect to or eavesdrop on your home network.”

Law enforcement recommends first that people change the wireless router’s default network name (otherwise known as an SSID, such as “linksys”) and administrative password. Second, enable the wireless router’s encryption. Turning on encryption helps guard the data transmitted between your computers and your wireless router from eavesdropping. It also helps prevent session hijacking for sites that do not use encrypted cookies, such as Facebook. Use the strongest form of encryption supported by your wireless router and computers. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA) protocol and WPA2 (AES) have supplanted the older and less-secure Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP). Use WPA-PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) or WPA2 if at all possible, because WEP is relatively easy to compromise. If you use WPA-PSK to encrypt your network, choose a long passphrase or sentence of at least 20 characters that is not easy to guess. Other options for securing your wireless network include turning off SSID broadcasting, using MAC filtering (this allows only specified devices to connect to your network), reducing the range of your wireless signal, turning off your wireless router when you are not planning to use it for an extended period of time, and updating your wireless router’s firmware.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation leading to Brannock’s conviction with the assistance of the Alaska State Troopers; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; the United States Marshals Service; the Drug Enforcement Administration; and the United States Air Force.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Obama chooses to play golf, make Final FourMarch Madness picks, and party with his family in Rio. This is madness. Did we elect the President, or “The Ultimate Sports Fanatic?” Will Obama choose the day there’s a massive earthquake in California, or a stock market crash, to honor the college Frisbee Champions? As befuddled and detached as our President has proven to be, nothing compares to the sin of cooking up a war, and putting American soldiers’ lives at risk, to distract the masses from his disastrous reign. As everything Obama touches turns to disaster, has Obama’s cynical kitchen cabinet decided war is the perfect “Weapon of Mass Distraction?" Wars tend to make Americans patriotic and rally behind the President. They tend to forget the economic tragedy building by the day and ignore the signs of Armageddon all around them. Mission Accomplished! Haven't we heard that before? It didn't work out too well the first time either. Why should we risk American lives in Libya? Is Gadhafi any worse than all the other murdering, tin pot dictators we either support or do nothing about? Why not invade Darfur on George Clooney’s recommendation? Innocent people are dying there, too. Before we start a third war, shouldn’t we all ask a few questions? Has Libya attacked us or any American interests of late? I know of no such attacks. And, by the way, who is Obama to tell Gadhafi to step down because he’s "lost the confidence of his people?" Sounds like Obama has been looking in the mirror again. Maybe the French should demand Obama step down? Last I checked, Gadhafi is a bad guy -- a murdering thug. But he’s been a bad guy for forty years. Why now? Worse, the rebels fighting Gadhafi are supported by al Qaeda. So now we’re fighting on the same side as al Qaeda -- the terrorist murderers of American soldiers, women, children, and the elderly. What’s our goal? Does anyone have any idea? Clearly our President doesn’t. Who takes over after Gadhafi? I assume radical Muslim friends of al Queda. Is that why we’re risking American soldiers’ lives? Who is in charge? The French. Are you kidding? It’s rumored that Patton once said “I’d rather have a German division in front of me, than a French division behind me.” And, have you heard about the rules of engagement? No ground troops allowed. Funny, but I’ve never heard of a war won by only bombers from the air. What happens when Gadhafi digs in? He’s now arming a million citizens to defend him. The Arab League is condemning our bombing. What now? Mr. Obama, you’ve just created another fine mess. Do we get dragged into a third ground war? What defines winning? Charlie Sheen? And other than the French, who is in charge -- the United Nations, a bunch of lawyers, and a President whose major concern is his golf game? Are you kidding? I’ve been a patriot my entire life, but you won’t find me supporting this war. It’s past time to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and Obama is adding a third war? Is he mentally unstable, or just totally incompetent? And by the way, who declared war? Congress? Doesn’t that pesky document, the U.S. Constitution, say that only Congress can declare war? There’s one more little problem with a third war. We’re broke. The USA can no longer afford to be the world’s policeman. We have a $14 trillionnational debt and unfunded liabilities of $60 to $80 trillion more. Cities, counties and states are insolvent and Obama is starting a third war where we don’t belong, in the hope it will help him get re-elected by distracting the masses from the financial disaster destroying the country. Look at Obama’s record. Two wars he promised to end, but never did. Guantanamo he promised to close, but never did. The Patriot Act he criticized, but then extended. How about the torture Obama condemned? Yet now under President Obama we torture a U.S. soldier named Bradley Manning (of Wikileaks fame), even though he’s been convicted of nothing. Twenty-three hours a day of sitting shackled, naked and freezing in his cell…and this is how we treat an American soldier who is innocent until proven guilty under Obama? Mr. Obama, you’ve already won a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing. Are you now trying to win an Oscar for impersonating George W. Bush? Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Obama is deliberately trying to ruin this great country (and doing a good job of it), is completely and utterly incompetent, or is having a nervous breakdown in reaction to the nonstop crises exploding under his leadership (or lack thereof). Now he’s got us in a war in which we don’t belong, based on no threat to America, with no clear definition of victory, spending billions more we do not have. It is time to ask an important question -- Can this nation survive until 2012? Wayne Allyn Root is a former Libertarian Vice Presidential nominee.
