ScribbleLive

I have been noticing that since a week or so ago the Ctrl+MouseClick (that on Google Chrome is supposed to open a link in a different tab) doesn't work any longer. Something as been changed in the page code.

„Next up, did you know that Bangkok has a nuclear reactor? We didn’t – but now we do, because it’s apparently (alarmingly) located in a flooded area of the city. The Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology, located onVibhavadi Rangsit Roadis apparently flooded, but officials insist that the water has not reached the reactor housed at the site, and that no levels of nuclear radiation contamination have been noted in the surrounding floodwater. Very comforting indeed.”

@lillymunster I know, but where's the logic? Why did they deactivate that function? What other functions might not be available any more? I don't like when people mess around with the source code of a server and don't let users know about it. What else has been introduced in the code? I'm always a bit suspicious about this things. Does any of you have contact with Scribblelive technical support? Also, I noticed last couple of weeks that sometimes the page breaks down as if someone had been messing around with it and only comes back to normal 1 or 2 hours later despite me refreshing it every 5 minutes. I apologize about my rant but I think it's something worth checking out, if only to make sure it's the technical support team and not some hacker messing around with the website.

@Pedro Jesus , as to chrome same experience here. Must be a bug in the update, ;)

Seoul roads to be repaved for radioactivity
Two sections of road in the South Korean capital Seoul are to be repaved after they were found to be radioactive, officials said Saturday.
Alarmed by the nuclear disaster in northeastern Japan in March this year, some South Koreans bought Geiger counters and use them to survey their own neighborhoods.
A resident in northeastern Seoul's Nowon area reported to authorities this week that she had found high levels of radioactivity on the road near her apartment, district official Kim Se-Yul told AFP.
Checks by the local authority found radiation levels 10 times higher than normal in two segments of the roadway, he said, but the amounts involved posed limited health risks.
"The source of radioactivity has apparently nothing to do with the nuclear disaster," he added.
According to the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety an hour-long exposure to the road every day for an entire year would amount to less than half the annual permissible dose of radiation.
Where the radioactivity is coming from remains unconfirmed but experts believe it is from materials added to asphalt when the roads were repaired in 2000, the Joongang Daily said.

@Peter Thing is, it doesn't happen on Chrome in any other website and I consult about 30 different websites daily. It must be something on whatever change was introduced in the source code of this page.

@Liz Next they'll find radiation in toys, plastics, clothing, you name it

@Liz See...We're on the something here. :) Eventually we all will be brain-washed by the acceptable levels of radiation. And more and more nuke plants will be accepted also.

and wasn't there a big asian cyber attack a short time ago too? (real estate instead of 'reaestate')

Refering to the latest data feed on SimplyInfo, that is.

@Edano okey dokey

In looking to see what became of that dubious cherry-picked study saying there was a spike in U.S. west-coast infant mortality, it seems the story suffered still birth itself, but I did come across this curious story:

There have been 21 sudden infant deaths in B.C. so far this year, while there were 16 sudden infant deaths for all of 2010, Lisa Lapointe said Tuesday.

"We know there's been a spike in the first six months and we know it's related to unsafe sleep practices. Why so many of those [deaths] have come up this year, we don't know," Lapointe said. www.cbc.ca

@lillymunster,the Sci Am response was a blog entry, and I recall with it did make the original 'study' look bad, it actually pointed to some curious features itself and the author, on my recall, was favorable to further inquiry on the subject.

@lillymunster, here's the SciAm blogs.scientificamerican.com but what's interesting is that counterpunch hired an objective statistician after the Sherman/Mangano story flopped to double check and this second review supposedly found even higher rates of possibly corresponding infant mortality: www.counterpunch.org I've only skimmed this and say might be getting something wrong; a reply to SciAm blog points to it. But this is all waaaay back in June. I can't believe Sherman/Mangano seemingly just let it drop, esp after taking a beating and yet there maybe still being supportive data.

@lillymunster, it seems from those articles that it's all public access from the CDC.
