Cow Crap from Illinois Caused Jersey-Sized Dead Zone in Gulf
The Mississippi has become a deadly river of shit and fertilizer, carrying the chemicals and waste from farms along its banks down into the Gulf of Mexico, where they have caused a giant oxygen-deprived ‘hypoxic zone’. Commonly known as a ‘dead zone’, this swath of the gulf is unable to support life and its size is increasing by the day.
Now, researchers say they’ve identified where some of regions responsible for releasing the most phosphorous and nitrogen into the Mississippi River basin.
From GreenBiz.com:
Now that the causes have been pinpointed, it’s time for the government to start addressing this problem. States need to start focusing their pollution-reduction efforts to prevent the dead zone from killing even more sea life.
GreenBiz.com reports that the EPA has announced three grants to Iowa State University researchers that would focus on reducing pollution runoff into the Mississippi River – it’s a start.

From GreenBiz.com:
The report, available at http://water.usgs.gov, follows on an earlier report that narrowed the culprits for 70 percent of the pollution leading to the dead zone to nine states: Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Mississippi.Last year, the NOAA predicted that the dead zone will increase to 8,800 miles – about the size of New Jersey. [Insert joke about shit and New Jersey here. I'm too lazy.]
From the report:
Almost all of the top 150 watersheds are in the Corn Belt or near the Mississippi River, with the highest yields of TN [total nitrogen] being in northern Illinois and central Indiana and highest yields of TP [total phosphorus] being from watersheds along the Mississippi River, and in northern Kentucky, and distributed through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. [...] Therefore, if one were interested in placing management efforts only in a specified number of the highest contributing watersheds, the watersheds to place efforts could be readily identified.
Now that the causes have been pinpointed, it’s time for the government to start addressing this problem. States need to start focusing their pollution-reduction efforts to prevent the dead zone from killing even more sea life.

Kent Knudson, Leader of 9/11 Truth AZ, Commits Suicide (1949 - 2010)
,
Categories: News
Kent Knudson, best known locally for shooting and killing someone else's cow on his property as well as his role in 9/11 Truth AZ, committed suicide on September 25.
"Kent had been suffering from depression over yet another traumatic legal difficulty and facing two felony charges, on top of his 'Cowcrap' conviction," writes friend Sham Rao.
Knudson was 60 years old.
(more after the jump)
In 2007, Knudson, self-proclaimed "chief cook and bottle washer" for the 9/11 Truth AZ movement, caused a stir as organizer of the 9/11 Accountability: Strategies and Solutions Conference. Soon after the schedule was announced, everything fell apart once speakers and participants found out that Holocaust denier Eric Williams, author of The Puzzle of Auschwitz, played a significant role in coordinating the convention. This, on top of his cow-killing conviction, earned Knudson a Best of Phoenix award in 2007.
According to his friend Rao, Knudson, who is survived by his partner Sarah Fox and his sister Cathy Leavitt, was also a photographer who licensed his work commercially.
Memorial services will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. tonight at the Arizona Biltmore Resort. For more information, call 623-229-4754.

Finally, 1480 KPHX has been running deceptive ads for the conference. I heard one today on Farias' show which claimed that Alex Jones would be present and that there would be "dialogue with debunkers." What debunkers? Is Knudson going to produce a sock monkey to be the conference's straw man? (I wouldn't put it past him.) And Jones has been out of the conference almost a week now. That ad is more than misleading. But of course, Knudson, et al. have no choice but to run ads like these. Otherwise, who's gonna pay $129 to go to this joke of a convention? ScrewLooseChange's Pat Curley has a post up right now that features some bitching from one prospective conference-goer. Check this quote from some cat named "Alfons":
