Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors issue call for embargo in response to parents' concerns over children's exposure to radiation in the classroom

By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor

Published: 15 July 2007

Local councillors are pressing for the suspension of the use of Wi-Fi in schools, in the first official revolt in Britain against the widespread use of the technology in the classroom.

The powerful overview and scrutiny committee (OSC) of Haringey council in London resolved this month that there should be "a precautionary approach" to Wi-Fi because of concerns about risks to the health of children and teachers.

Take a look at Dennis Kucinich on HardBall today, talking about the “imperialist” candidates (Clinton & Edwards) and their move to scale down the number of candidates who can be allowed to take part in the debates. In my opinion, they are trying to avoid the “people’s candidates” from pointing out their shortcomings with health care, Iraq war, employments issues, etc. Kucinich won’t take no crap from them! This is how he also stands up to corporate interests, which is actually what he IS doing, since Hillary & Edwards are totally beholden to their corporate funders!

Writing in The North Bay Nugget, Gwynne Dyer says that while the global middle class has had the benefit of lower food prices, three converging factors are driving food prices up with no relief in sight. Dyer says the reasons are an increasing population, biofuels and increased consumption of meat.

Biofuel mania ends days of cheap food

By Gwynne Dyer

The era of cheap food is over. The price of maize has doubled in a year, and wheat futures are at their highest in a decade. The food price index in India has risen 11 per cent in one year, and in Mexico in January there were riots after the price of corn flour - used in making the staple food of the poor, tortillas - went up fourfold.
