    THE NATIONAL FORUM The National CFIDS Foundation Vol. 27, No. 1 – Summer 2021 NCF ANNOUNCES NEW GRANT RECIPIENT By Alan Cocchetto, NCF Medical Director April 22, 2021 – Copyright 2021 The National CFIDS Foundation is pleased to announce their latest research grant recipient, Dr. Jack Wands. Dr. Wands is a Professor of Gastroenterology and Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Wands' proposal which is titled, “Aspartate asparaginyl beta- hydroxylase (ASPH) as an etiologic factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)” has received $65,000 from the National CFIDS Foundation. Dr. Wands has over 600 peer-reviewed medical journal articles in publication. According to the Foundation, there is evidence that ASPH may be accumulating in the cells of CFS patients. As such, this can dramatically impact the body's response to oxidative stress and hypoxia. Wands has planned both in-vitro as well as in-vivo studies in an attempt to understand the upregulation of ASPH on cell migration and signaling through various cellular pathways following exposure to an oxidative injury. Wands will also be comparing CFS patient samples with those of hepatic cancer patients with cancer-related fatigue. In addition, Wands has evidence that ASPH overexpression may be a risk factor for the early development of cancer which may be associated with CFS before the disease becomes clinically apparent or in other words, CFS as a pre-malignancy. Wands has observed this in pancreatic cancer patients. This is of importance since the National Cancer Institute has previously reported that CFS has been associated with increases in pancreatic cancer.

This policy transition was controversial, causing friction with U.S. allies, with the nuclear power industry, and with Congress. Early in his presidential campaign, Carter criticized the excessive federal financial commitment to developing plutonium-based reactors and adopted the view that the weapons proliferation risks of plutonium economy technologies were serious and needed to be addressed.

  • Chapter 3: the Rise of the Antinuclear Power Movement: 1957 to 1989
    Chapter 3 THE RISE OF THE ANTINUCLEAR POWER MOVEMENT 1957 TO 1989 In this chapter I trace the development and circulation of antinuclear struggles of the last 40 years. What we will see is a pattern of new sectors of the class (e.g., women, native Americans, and Labor) joining the movement over the course of that long cycle of struggles. Those new sectors would remain autonomous, which would clearly place the movement within the autonomist Marxist model. Furthermore, it is precisely the widening of the class composition that has made the antinuclear movement the most successful social movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Although that widening has been impressive, as we will see in chapter 5, it did not go far enough, leaving out certain sectors of the class. Since its beginnings in the 1950s, opposition to the civilian nuclear power program has gone through three distinct phases of one cycle of struggles.(1) Phase 1 —1957 to 1967— was a period marked by sporadic opposition to specific nuclear plants. Phase 2 —1968 to 1975— was a period marked by a concern for the environmental impact of nuclear power plants, which led to a critique of all aspects of nuclear power. Moreover, the legal and the political systems were widely used to achieve demands. And Phase 3 —1977 to the present— has been a period marked by the use of direct action and civil disobedience by protesters whose goals have been to shut down all nuclear power plants. 3.1 The First Phase of the Struggles: 1957 to 1967 Opposition to nuclear energy first emerged shortly after the atomic bomb was built.

  • It's Not Just a Story Any More
    (reprinted with permission from The Guardian, 4 August 1979) It's not just a story any more The phrase 'China syndrome' describes what happens if a nuclear plant backfires. Walt Patterson casts a professional eye over the film of that name and finds it alarmingly accurate. At the end of The China Syndrome, if the house lights don't come up too soon, you may notice an inconspicuous line far down the credits. After Best Boy Grip and Paint Foreman comes Technical Advisers [Nuclear] … MHB Technical Associates. Nowhere else in the publicity pack from Columbia Pictures is there any further reference to the specific technical content of the film, or to the technical advisers responsible. The coyness is curious, but understandable. In The China Syndrome the technical content is of a very different order to that, say, in Moonraker. In Moonraker the technical content is there essentially to astonish; its genuine credibility is irrelevant. In The China Syndrome, on the contrary, the technical content is central to the plot – and is moreover acutely controversial. It is not now, mark you, as controversial as it was before March 28 this year. The China Syndrome, of course, is about – among other things – the threat of an accident at a nuclear power station. The accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, which occurred about a month after the release of the film, was a classical if unnerving example of life imitating art. When the film was released the nuclear industry was still talking about hypothetical accidents at nuclear stations.

  • Governance Through Social Learning the CENTRE on GOVERNANCE SERIES
    Governance Through Social Learning THE CENTRE ON GOVERNANCE SERIES Governance is about guiding: it is the process whereby an organization steers itself. Studying governance means probing the distribution of rights, obliga- tions, and power that underpins organizations and social systems; under- standing how they co-ordinate their parallel activities and maintain their coherence; exploring the sources of dysfunction and lacklustre performance; and suggesting ways to redesign organizations whose governance is in need of repair. Governance also has to do with the complex ways in which the private, public, and civic sectors co-ordinate their activities, with the manner in which citizens produce governance through their active participation in a democra- tic society, and with the instruments and processes required to ensure good and effective stewardship. This series welcomes a range of contributions - from conceptual and the- oretical reflections, ethnographic and case studies, and proceedings of con- ferences and symposia to works of a very practical nature - that deal with particular problems or nexus of issues on the governance front.

The Europeans who occupied British Columbia in the nineteenth century placed the natives under a colonial style of administration. Without citizenship o r representation in t h e federal or provincial government for m a n y years, the Indians tried t o present their grievances to the government mainly through protest organizations. The effectiveness of Indian protest organizations was weakened by the inability of the natives to unite i n one provincial a s s o c i a t i o n .

A description of the environmental problems of the San Francisco Bay Area and of the many news media which serve this area introduces this second volume of the study. The dimensions of the information explosion in the Bay Area news media are documented in quantitative terms. The study identifies the groups in the Bay Area which can be expected to use the information offered by the news media and the implications of this for the press. The difficulties for the press in reporting environmental deterioration and the damage caused by "environmental" advertising are pointed out. The study also examined: the difficulties of gaining access to information about the plans of public utilities; the interrelationship of a growing community and its newspapers and the possible effects of newspaper coverage of urban land use patterns; and the possibilities of getting along without the news media and becoming informed on one's own. The study concludes that the media have alerted the public to environmental hazards, but that continued efforts topinpointlocal problems will be necessary.

Roch Bolduc: Honourable senators, I simply wish to point out that yesterday, in my speech concerning Mr. Martin’s Budget speech, I used a word in English, the French translation of which is, unfortunately, the opposite of my intended meaning. I am referring to page 1211, where the word “combler” in the fifth paragraph should instead read “accroître.” That is why I thought I should mention it. The Hon. the Speaker: For the information of personnel, may I ask whether you were referring to the French translation of the Debates of the Senate? Senator Bolduc: Yes, because it was correct in English.
