Parents' Lawsuit in Illinois Comes to
Close
Parents' Lawsuit in Illinois Comes to
Close
07/10/2004 11:12 AMAccording to messages from the plaintiffs, the Oak Park, Illinois,
lawsuit over the health effects of Wi-Fi signals on children has been
withdrawn: As recently as this last week, the Safe Technology for Oak
Park (STOP) parents' group was planning on pushing ahead. Their suit
was an effort not to win punitive damages, the group said in the past,
but to force the school district to address the health concerns over
microwave radiation that STOP had raised. The school district's
response was consistently that with federal standards guiding safety,
which the district had conformed with, there was no necessity to open
the matter at the district. The school district's statement on their
Web site reads, After two years of examining this issue and hearing
expert testimony, the board affirmed in a resolution last spring that
it would continue to use wireless technology as appropriate, would
monitor all research and literature, and would respond to any changes
in governed regulations and standards, of which we are in total
compliance. STOP parents cited many cellular phone and cellular tower
studies, but despite claims throughout the lawsuit of having hundreds
of studies that were germane, neither I nor other reporters were able
to obtain this list from court filings or from STOP. In an email to
STOP supporters, these studies were described as "the hundreds of
peer-reviewed scientific studies that show biological effects from
wireless radiation (many at levels many times lower than that emitted
by the in-class devises)." Without seeing the individual studies, I
have a hard time specifically refuting the contention. However, the
electromagnetic radiation studies I've read and am familiar with --
from ELF/VLF studies conducted a decade ago to more research cellular
phone research -- don't show the clear results that this statement
would indicate. In the studies I've read, small correlative effects in
small populations of test animals or people were found in frequencies
not used by Wi-Fi and at signal strengths that were at least a few
orders of magnitude. There were no smoking guns, nor 100 percent
correlations. One study mentioned in articles quoting STOP's leaders
were specifically about cell phone effects on rats. STOP's founder,
Ron Baiman -- who is well known for his academic work and activism in
trying to obtain living wages for workers in the U.S. -- wrote in an
email to STOP members, Dr. Leif Salford is, by the way is...

09/22/2004 02:47 AMToday I did two hands-on workshops about blogging at Lincoln Trail Libraries System. Both
sessions went very well, and I feel confident we'll see some new

participant was from the Tuscola Public Library. When class started at
9:30 a.m., they didn't have a web site. Now they do.

Illinois Speed Cameras Will Take Your

03/30/2005 11:08 PMBob Dole writes
"If you ever happen to drive through Illinois, but skipped any of
the Techdirt items about how inaccurate speed cameras can be -- you
better go back and read
up. That's because the state has announced that
it will begin using the photo radar in freeway "work zones." You
know what that means -- toss up a few cones, lower the speed limit and
let the ticketing begin. First offense brings in $375 in revenue. A
second ticket earns the state a cool grand. Oh, and you lose your
license for 90 days. And you get points on your license, which means
your insurance will go up. (That, incidentally, is the reason why the
insurance industry is the #1 promoter of cameras.) This represents not
just the harshest penalties for a camera system in the U.S., it's one
of the harshest in the world. You can get a few tickets in the UK and
Australia before losing your license. Open season on Illinois
motorists begins in July, and federal regulators
are pushing to expand similar programs nationwide. "

More Detail on Illinois School Lawsuit
More Detail on Illinois School Lawsuit
11/11/2003 12:58 PMIllinois lawsuit against school district for using wireless explained
a little further: This is the first article I've seen which contained
any reference to the studies that a group of parents in Oak Park have
been citing as demonstrating that there is a correlative risk because
specific exposure to Wi-Fi microwave radiation and human health.
Unfortunately, the study that's the only one linked to in the article,
one conducted by Leif Salford, doesn't lead to the conclusion the
parents say it does. The Salford study shows that exposure to uniform
radiation over a period of time in the GSM band can produce some ill
effects in rats' brains. While this study should certainly disturb
those in the cell industry, it's applicability to Wi-Fi is very very
low. First, the band used in Wi-Fi is much higher than GSM and will
have different characteristics. The researchers don't state the band
in their study, for some reason, but mention that they have been
working in the 900 MHz band for some time. Second, the study shows
that exposure over periods of time to uniform radiation cause the
outcome. For cell phones, this is an issue, but for Wi-Fi, it is not.
Wi-Fi is not only a bursty technology, in which there is not a
constant transmission of peak signal power, but it's also a technology
in which the brain is usually from a few feet to dozens of feet away
from the radiation point source. Because signal strength varies by the
inverse square of the distance from the source, comparing an enclosed
uniform radiation field in the study with brains located even 18
inches away from a similarly powered Wi-Fi transmitter is meaningless.
The study that needs to be performed would have rats in a laboratory
at a variety of distances from both bursty and continuously
transmitting Wi-Fi transceivers using standard equipment that produces
from 30 mW to 200 mW of power, and commercial omnidirectional and
sectorized antennas. Frankly, this study makes me glad that I don't
stick my GSM cell phone up against my head. I use a Bluetooth headset,
which produces a fraction of the signal strength that a GSM does in
normal usage and in a different band....

Illinois Educators Conference Blog
Illinois Educators Conference Blog
03/14/2005 06:22 PMWhat in the World is IceCasting?
“IceCasting is an experiment in MobCasting, an idea that
Andy Carvin has been exploring lately. The Illinois Technology
Conference for Educators (IL-TCE) will be held in St. Charles from
March 1 through March 4 and I thought this might be an interesting way
to extend the learning.
Everyone loves attending conferences.
There's something about being surrounded by your colleagues and being
exposed to new ideas at every turn that really just gets people jazzed
up about technology, teaching, and education in general. This blog is
a way to capture that feeling and share it with other people. It's a
place to capture those ideas that you just can't wait to take back to
your school, or make you think differently about the way you're doing
things now.
If you experienced something at ICE and want to
share it with people, there's two ways that you can do so. Send an
email to teach42.icecasting@blogge
r.com, and the entire text of the email will be instantly posted
here. You can also attach photos to the emails if you'd like to! If
you'd like to leave an audio comment, simply call 1-661-716-BLOG
(2564), use 555-555-5555 for the login and then enter 2005 as your
pincode. Leave a message and your audio comment will be posted
directly to the blog!
So in between sessions, if you feel
inspired, pick up your cell phone and give the number a call. Share
what you've seen or heard that inspired you with everyone else. Please
feel free to pass this information on to anyone else attending the
conference.
If you happen to use Flickr, then tag your ICE photos with
ICE2005. I'll be adding a feed to the sidebar that will grab all of
our communal photos that way.” [IceCasting]
Steve Dembo seems to be doing
all of the heavy lifting at this point (text and audio),
but it’s certainly a great idea. Keep up the great work,
Steve!
To my great regret, I won’t be able to attend the
Computers in Libraries
conference this year, so I’m going to have to attend
via the blogs. Thank heavens for non-complex, navel-gazing conference
bloggers!
