Katashi_itto's JournalJust another day in Arizona: Family drove dead woman around Arizona in van with 35 animals
Police in Phoenix are investigating why the family of a woman drove her body around Arizona in a van full of animals and bugs.
According to KSAZ, Phoenix Police found 12 dogs, 22 cats, 1 pigeon and cockroaches inside of a van with the body of Lola Mae Stout. The animals were malnourished and covered in feces. Not all of them are expected to survive.
Court documents obtained by KSAZ indicated that conflicting statements were given by Lola Mae’s husband, Alva Stout, and her two sons, Alan and Gregory Stout.
One of the men indicated that the Lola Mae had been alive when they stopped for gas in Quartzsite.
But Alan Stout claimed that she had collapsed in Quartzsite. He said that they put her in the van anyway and then drove 120 miles to Phoenix.
The court documents said that Lola Mae had a history of strokes, high blood pressure, goiter, and schizophrenia.
The Arizona Humane Society has determined that most if not all of the animals will not recover and recommended that they be put down.

New In Science: British scientists use urine to charge cell phone
KNEEL BEFORE THE POWER OF URINE!!!!
British scientists on Tuesday reported they had harnessed the power of urine and were able to charge a mobile phone with enough electricity to send texts and surf the Internet.
Researchers from the University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory in south west England said they had created a fuel cell that uses bacteria to break down urine to generate electricity, in a study published in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
“No one has harnessed power from urine to do this so it’s an exciting discovery,” said engineer Ioannis Ieropoulos.
“The beauty of this fuel source is that we are not relying on the erratic nature of the wind or the sun; we are actually reusing waste to create energy.
“One product that we can be sure of an unending supply is our own urine,” he added.
The team grew bacteria on carbon fibre anodes and placed them inside ceramic cylinders.

30,000 California Prisoners Hunger Strike Against Long-Term Solitary Confinement
Source: Think Progress
An estimated 30,000 California inmates refused all three meals yesterday, in an announced hunger strike to protest prolonged solitary confinement that can last upwards of a decade.
The strike focuses on practices at Pelican Bay, an infamous facility that one of the American hikers held hostage in Iran called as bad or worse than the treatment he experienced in Iran.
A lawsuit last year alleged that more than 500 inmates have been held in solitary confinement for 10 to 28 year, and that 78 prisoners have been held in solitary for more than 20 years. Overall, recent estimates suggest some 80,000 inmates have been placed in solitary confinement, for as long as 42 years. Since then, corrections officials have begun reviewing isolation determinations and released nearly half of the 400 prisoners reviewed, according to the LA Times.
Confinement typically involves isolation for 23 hours a day in a small, often windowless room with a steel door. When prisoners are let out of the cell for showers at least 3 times a week, they are taken to another small, isolated space where they are sometimes locked for extended periods of time.
In an in-depth exposé for Mother Jones, formerly imprisoned hiker Shane Bauer subjected himself to solitary confinement at Pelican Bay last year, revealing the arbitrary, secret, and virtually irreversible manner in which individuals are placed in solitary confinement by an institutional gang investigator.
A common justification is to isolate those thought to be “associates” in prison gangs, and the types of evidence deemed to prove that fact have included possession of black literature, left-wing materials and writing about prisoner rights as evidence. What’s more, a California court ruled in January that Pelican Bay has been improperly using race as a proxy for gang membership, and subjected different races to varying treatments.
Defenders of the system point out that an internal appeal process exists. But when Bauer asked “for an example of an appeal resulting in a reversal of a gang validation, they couldn’t produce a single case. Gang investigator Barneburg, who has worked at Pelican Bay for 15 years, has never seen a validation appeal succeed either—evidence, he says, of his team’s thoroughness.”

Boehner: When all else fails, repeal Obamacare! (This will be attempt #38)
House Speaker John Boehner is very unhappy with the Obama administration and its decision to do what all the business groups aligned with Boehner have asked for: Delaying the employer mandate in Obamacare. So he sent a sternly worded letter demanding all sorts of information on how the administration came to this decision, but ultimately concluded:
Many have predicted the problems that your Administration now acknowledges, and each provision you delay continues to demonstrate that the entire law is unworkable.
You know what that means:
Boehner promises another House vote to repeal ObamaCare. "Count on it," says Boehner.
— @markknoller
That'll be vote number 38 to repeal Obamacare in John Boehner's Republican-controlled House. But let's cut him some slack—repeal is the only thing he can actually get his whole caucus united behind. Leadership!
The GOP jobs plan: Abortion, Abortion, Repeal Obamacare, Abortion, Bengahazi, Repeal Obamacare, Abortion, Repeal Obamacare, Benghazi, Abortion, Repeal Obamacare, Abortion, Marriage Amendment.
This is also their tax reform plan, environmental strategy, immigration reform, budget plan, etc.

Tepco detected the highest level of all ? nuclides of the east side of reactor3 as well
Following up this article..[Groundwater] Cs-134/137 level spiked 90 times much as 3 days before, “27,000,000 Bq/m3 of Cs-134/137, highest ever” [URL]
In the same measurement, Tepco deteced 1,700,000 Bq/m3 of all ? nuclides from boring No.2. This is the highest reading from this boring. Before this analysis, 260,000 Bq/m3 of 7/1/2013 was the highest reading.
This boring is situated on the east side (seaside) of reactor3 turbine building.
