Pink Slime School Lunches - YUMMY!
[http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/pinkslime-ammonia-ground-beef.htm]
"The controversial ground beef caused a media firestorm last year, and when given a choice for the first time, schools in most states opted out of ground beef with this component for their school lunches. But this year, meals that are generally more expensive to produce may be behind wider tolerance for the product.
Seven states, four more than last year, have put in orders for millions of pounds of meat that might contain pink slime, Pro Agriculture reports: "As schools across the country grapple with tight budgets, some are changing their minds and accepting the lower-price alternative product that brings down the price of the food they serve." Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break down the story.

What's This All About? CDC Preps For Wide Scale Pacific Rim Emergency
This story and video brought to us by PotrBlog shares with us of unusual urgent activity unfolding in the Pacific rim as the CDC is preparing for something big in multiple locations. Does this have anything to do with an H7N9 pandemic or is this more preparation for mass health problems due to Fukushima? Something strange is going on with a contract scheduled to be fulfilled on October 21, 2013.
The Centers for Disease control are prepping for MULTIPLE Federal Medical Stations & EMERGENCY Strategic National Stockpile Supply Deliveries to the U.S. Pacific Islands and Pacific Rim Nations
In short this is ABOVE & BEYOND normal planning; the CDC has specified that the delivery contract is for "Surge Tempo", meaning MULTIPLE DISTRIBUTED LOCATIONS.

TEPCO Official Admits Fukushima "Out Of Control"
Zero Hedge
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2013
A month ago, when we quoted an independent expert that "TEPCO has lost control of Fukushima" many took offense, despite all signs to the contrary. Perhaps the skeptics will reevaluate their position following today's news reported by AFP, which cited Kazuhiko Yamashita, who holds the executive-level title of "fellow" at Tokyo Electric Power, who finally admitted what those not mired in prejudice about the state of nuclear energy refuse to accept, that the nuclear plant was "not under control." This promptly led to the government, which last weekend learned it would host the 2020 Olympics and promised that Fukushima would not be a concern by then, to scramble and "reassure people on Friday that they have a lid on Fukushima." Unfortunately, the lies, like the radiation in the plant, are now finally seeping through and more are becoming fully aware of just how serious the catastrophe truly is, and drove yet another steak through the heart of the official narrative by Prime Minister Abe as they "flatly contradict" his assurances.
In a meeting with members of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan, Yamashita was asked whether he agreed that "the situation is under control" as Abe had declared at the International Olympic Committee meeting in Buenos Aires.
He responded by saying, "I think the current situation is that it is not under control," according to major media, including national broadcaster NHK.
News of his comment prompted a rush by the government and TEPCO to elaborate on Yamashita's remark, saying he was talking specifically about the plant's waste water problem, and not the facility's situation in general.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, Abe's right-hand man, separately said Yamashita was repeatedly pressed by DPJ lawmakers when he made the remark.
The punchline:
The view of TEPCO as a company does not contradict Abe's statement, Suga added.
Actually no, it does. What is more humiliating is that the admission comes a day after an official PR campaign was launched to ease the world's concerns that Japan really has no clue what it is doing.
Japan's reputation as a 'safe pair of hands' gave it the edge to win the race to host the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. The decision immediately boosted investor confidence - despite the ongoing Fukushima nuclear crisis.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe assured the International Olympic Committee that the Fukushima leak was not a threat to Tokyo and took personal responsibility for keeping it safe,' writes leading economist Professor Dr Stefan Lippert in World Review.
