@Nancy: something weird is happening with your poll. two hours ago there were 14 votings for simply info, now there are 23. i think there is manipulation going on. i follow the poll regularly. fukuleaks was always 3-6 votes ahead. #

@Edano. I don't think so; I can't re-vote, I'm just wondering if lurkers are just getting around to it since Rob called for votes again.
by Panserbjorne9 5/26/2011 1:29:08 AM

Radioactive substances detected in tea leaves Radioactive contamination has been found in tea leaves in Chiba and Gunma prefectures, about 200 kilometers from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Similar contamination has been found over a wide area around Tokyo including Ibaraki, Kanagawa, Saitama and Shizuoka prefectures.
Chiba authorities say up to 763 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium were detected in tea leaves picked on Tuesday in Narita and 3 other cities.
The provisional state limit is 500 becquerels per kilogram.
The Chiba government on Wednesday requested tea growers in the 4 cities to voluntarily halt shipments, and asked dealers not to sell the tea produced in the areas.
But 2 tea growers in Narita City reportedly shipped their tea leaves, and dealers sold some processed tea to local consumers.
Radioactive materials in tea leaves exceeding the legal limit was earlier detected in other areas in the prefecture.
In Gunma Prefecture, 780 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium were detected in tea leaves picked on Tuesday in Shibukawa City.
The Gunma government on Wednesday asked farm cooperatives to halt shipment of tea leaves.
This is the first tea contamination case reported in Gunma Prefecture. Thursday, May 26, 2011 07:45 +0900 (JST) www3.nhk.or.jp

Angry Parents in Japan Confront Government Over Radiation Levels By HIROKO TABUCHI Published: May 25, 2011
FUKUSHIMA CITY, Japan — The accusations flew on Wednesday at the local school board meeting, packed with parents worried and angry about radiation levels in this city at the heart of Japan’s nuclear crisis. www.nytimes.com
by Panserbjorne9 5/26/2011 1:42:22 AM
@all They're moving cattle that have been eating grass in Fukushima for 2 months and will probably send them to market. If tea leaves in Narita..by Tokyo..are irradiated, I can't believe the world isn't getting harsher with Japanese imports instead of restricting less. If the international community expected better monitoring before importing anything from Japan maybe that would wake them up!!
by LM 5/26/2011 1:46:31 AM
now 27 for simplyinfo. 3 hours ago they had 14 votes. they doubled their votes within 3 hours. this is ridiculous. i know we have antisocial persons on this site, but this really is disgusting.

@Edano It looks like many people had mixed feelings about many choices for different reasons. I know I did. Lots of voting at the end.
by radioguy 5/26/2011 2:05:41 AM
yes, site comes up, scroll, survey not found...
by skibboy 5/26/2011 2:06:13 AM
@radioguy : i know what it means when in 3 hours 15 votes are made for the same decision, that hads only 14 votes before. it is manipulation.
by Edano 5/26/2011 2:07:52 AM
@skibboy you should technically still be able to vote I took a screen shot at 9pm as the close of voting. I am leaving it up to the group to hash out what to do about the final results or any complaints.
by Nancy 5/26/2011 2:08:01 AM
We had 28 people watching tech and 17 watching organize at the time I went to go grab the screen shot.
by Nancy 5/26/2011 2:08:37 AM
yes and 15 votes for simplyinfo.
by Edano 5/26/2011 2:09:21 AM
@LM I saw a news article this morning where they were shipping a farmers dairy cows off to be euthanized. So not sure if they are being selective or what
by Nancy 5/26/2011 2:10:03 AM
@Nancy @LM that was so sad. The tear going down the farmer's cheek. :(
by Panserbjorne9 5/26/2011 2:11:38 AM
@Edano I'm mot so much into the voting conspiracy thing. The idea is to come up with something that works for us. I think perhaps the only issue is being able to see the votes before you vote, which means you can have your vote influenced by the numbers at the end "Oh, I won't vote for that... it has no chance." It's West Coast Polls Syndrome.
