Tulsa World: Tulsa GOP moves further Right at Convention Saturday

The measures included a state party rule change to be proposed at next month's state convention requiring censure hearings for Republican officeholders who do not adhere to "core principles" that include the unconstitutionality of all gun regulations and the belief that life is the result of "an act between a man and a woman," and begins at the moment of fertilization. The proposed rule also would require elected Republicans to work for "drastic" reductions in taxes and mandatory fees. "This could be big," said delegate Molly McKay, who later in the convention was elected county vice chairman without opposition. "This could be the biggest thing since we repealed slavery."

Radiation Plume Forecast Function of Wind and Weather from Japan Earthquake Aftermath

See a hypothetical drift of the plume from Japan Earthquake aftermath at Fukushima Nuclear Plant. [This is] A forecast by the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization shows how weather patterns this week might disperse radiation from a continuous source in Fukushima, Japan. The forecast does not show actual levels of radiation, but it does allow the organization to estimate when different monitoring stations, marked with small dots, might be able to detect extremely low levels of radiation. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that any plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States

Japan Nuclear Plant Workers Evacuating as Radiation Surges in Earthquake Aftermath

e nuclear reactor situation in Japan has deteriorated significantly. Two more explosions occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 15. The first occurred at 6:10 a.m. local time at reactor No. 2, which had seen nuclear fuel rods exposed for several hours after dropping water levels due to mishaps in the emergency cooling efforts. Within three hours the amount of radiation at the plant rose to 163 times the previously recorded level, according to Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. Elsewhere, radiation levels were said to have reached 400 times the 'annual legal limit' at reactor No. 3. Authorities differed on whether the reactor pressure vessel at reactor No. 2 was damaged after the explosion, but said the reactor's pressure-suppression system may have been damaged possibly allowing a radiation leak. After this, a fire erupted at reactor No. 4 and was subsequently extinguished, according to Kyodo. Kyodo also reported the government has ordered a no-fly zone 30 kilometers around the reactor, and Prime Minister Naoto Kan has expanded to 30 kilometers the range within which citizens should remain indoors and warned that further leaks are possible.
