In 1754, Richard Stockton, a leading attorney who would go on to be a signer of the Declaration of Independence, acquired land on his grandfather's 5,500-acre tract to build a home. The house later traded hands among Stockton family members until the 20th century, when it served as the state's first Governor's Mansion, eventually housing five governors.
Since its restoration and conversion into the Morven Museum & Garden in 2004, galleries on two floors of the dwelling have housed permanent and temporary exhibitions relating to New Jersey history and culture, as well as the Morven property, now a National Historic Landmark. As guests wander the museum's halls, Stockton family portraiture and decorative art speaks of past eras while contemporary art and photographs keep visitors grounded in the present day. Meanwhile, 5 more acres outside host a massive garden that includes a recreation of Morven's old Colonial Revival¬–style blooming garden and its charismatic, singing Venus flytrap.
After high school, Michael Richardson spent the next 15 years training show horses and winning a bushel of regional trophies at Richardson Stables. He eventually moved to Frenchtown, New Jersey, where he worked for Revelation Farm as a trainer and met his future wife, Jessie Kieren, who pioneered Revelation's riding program. Fusing components of their respective last names, they founded Kierson Farm, whose verdant greens and indoor heated facilities house a fleet of trained American saddlebred show horses that ferry riders of all ability levels. The farm's boarding services demonstrate their dedication to caring for hooved friends by delegating one staff member for every five horses, ensuring that each steed receives tender attention when not studying pig Latin.
The course at Stonybrook Golf Club weaves along verdant paths buttressed by dense walls of foliage, creating a relatively short 3,514-yard track from the back tees. Course architect Robert Krieger incorporated frequent misdirection that leads to blind shots, including double doglegs on the 6th and 15th holes, the course's only two par 5s. Water hazards come into play on seven holes and speedy greens can cause further complications for golfers with the yips or roller-skate golf shoes. When walking, a round can be finished in under three hours, letting players quickly return to daily life or the scene of the accident.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 62 course
- Total length of 3,514 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 57.3 from the back tees
- Course slope of 91 from the back tees
- Three sets of tees per hole

Honing his skills under Sri Swami Satchidananda, the founder of Integral Yoga, the experience of the director of the Institute now spans 40 years. Jayadeva developed his teaching chops at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York City, where he mentored yoga teachers and developed training materials that are now used by instructors around the world and on some sectors on the moon. Eventually, Jayadeva settled in Princeton, where he now directs the training school Princeton Integral Yoga Institute. Along with his staff of registered instructors, he strives to foster a supportive environment free of competition, in which students of all experience levels can further their practice toward achieving a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
Bikram Yoga Princeton's intensely heated practice space enfolds students in 105-degree air made velvet by humidity as high as 40%, urging muscles to relax and stretch further during athletic Bikram sessions. Instructors attentively lead students of all ages and fitness levels through two breathing exercises and 26 poses, using standing twists and seated stretches to methodically shepherd oxygen-rich circulation throughout bodies. The physical exertion, combined with infrared heat, encourages detoxifying perspiration, purging students' bodies of dangerous toxins to make room for the more enjoyable toxins that accompany the weekend. Throughout class, teachers demonstrate proper form, fine-tune their instruction with verbal cues, and suggest pose modifications with hands-on adjustments. After practice, the studio's shower and changing facilities allow men, women, and sentient claymation figures to regain their composure.
Housed inside the Indiana State Museum, the six-story IMAX screen transports audiences to worlds they may have only imagined—shrinking them to insect size or inviting them along on migratory birds' annual sojourn. Besides panoramic, nationally recognized documentaries, the theater screens IMAX-mastered blockbusters, films of local significance, the occasional cinema festival, and the projectionists' vacation slideshows.

How Far Will You Travel For Your Turkey?
Daily Stat | November 21, 2012 | Topics: Economic Outlook
43.6 Million: People who will travel 50+ miles from home this Thanksgiving weekend
US travel this Thanksgiving holiday weekend (November 21-25) is expected to rise for a 4th straight year, gaining 0.7% from last year according to AAA. An estimated 43.6 million people will travel 50+ miles from home this weekend, up from 43.3 million last year, making it the smallest increase since 2009.
Americans will both spend less and travel fewer miles on average this year. They are expected to spend about $498 per household to travel during Thanksgiving weekend, compared with $554 last year, and the average distance traveled will decrease from 706 miles last year to 588 miles this year. For some, this is due to the impact of Hurricane Sandy, and for others it's due to a general desire to be more frugal.
Can't leave home this year but still want to travel? Consider visiting outside of the US...with your portfolio.

Tree plan for Saratoga Springs taking root
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Historic pictures of the city often show looming elms or other great street trees towering almost as high as, if not higher than, the city's stately Broadway buildings.
Since those days, because of Dutch elm disease and other factors, the shade of those giants has diminished.
One group, though, is hoping to bring them back.
A representative of Sustainable Saratoga's Urban Forestry Project on Tuesday night presented the group's initial findings to the City Council and offered recommendations for improving the Spa City's landscape.
As of this summer, the city had 4,801 trees along its right-of-ways in the core of the city. Of those, nearly 30 percent are Norway maple and more than half are other types of maples.
The Norway maple is classified as an invasive species because it is not native to the region and often grows at the expense of native species. It maintains its leaves longer into the winter than many native species, and it buds earlier in the spring.
"It grows faster, bigger and longer," said Bill Sprengnether, principal landscape architect with Cardinal Direction Landscape Architecture, who put together the Urban Forestry report. The report will be used to develop the city's Urban Forest Master Plan, which will guide development and cultivation of the city's street trees.
The report identified several streets in the city that have no trees and others that lack a significant number of trees.
More than 100 volunteers took to the streets earlier this year to record every city tree's size, species and condition.
Sprengnether said more than half of the trees surveyed — 56 percent — were a type of maple, something that is contrary to best practices in the landscaping industry, which sets the maximum at 30 percent. Continued...
About 40 percent of the trees were also identified as invasive species that "are kind of being blacklisted by the Department of Environmental Conservation."
Sprengnether said the group is recommending more planting and more diverse planting in the future, as well as some improved maintenance and planting techniques.
The Urban Forest Master Plan will be drafted throughout December and will be presented to the public in January. The final report will be produced by March.
"From this data, the Department of Public Works will be able to identify areas of future planning and development," Sprengnether said.
Anyone with public comment or recommendations about the plan is asked to email comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Conflicts between humans and wildlife aren't unusual. As we humans expand our natural habitat into habitat that was formerly reserved for the native wildlife like black bears, whitetail deer and numerous other forms of wildlife. Conflicts have become inevitable and this is causing problems with our wildlife management organizations that are here to serve both the needs of the citizens who hire them and the wildlife they're bound to conserve. Throw sport hunters and animal rightists into this environmental equation and you have a problem that sometime has our wildlife managers pulling their hair out in frustration.
There in no better example of one of these conflicts that is now facing our wildlife management experts than the growing population of black bears in North Carolina. It's not exactly a new problem either. It's just growing bigger by the year as the population of black bears seems to be expanding nearly as rapidly as the human population here in North Carolina.
Even our Capitol City of Raleigh has problems with bears in the city and this dates back into the mid-1960s.
I was going to work in Raleigh during that period and at about 5:30 one morning I was astounded to see several Raleigh Police cars with blue lights flashing as they seemed to be chasing something down Hillsboro Street. The action came to a standstill in front of the Chancellors residence at N.C. State University and I stopped to see what was going on. The police had cornered a black bear of about 250 pounds in front of the Chancellors house and were waiting for the wildlife folks to come and tranquilize the animal so it could be escorted out of town.
Today there are even more incidents of black bears venturing into North Carolina cities in search of food. I'm told that there are about seven or eight bear incidents a year now in Raleigh and the men with the tranquilizer guns and having a time keeping up with the nuisance bears that so many animal lovers seem to think are cute.
If you think that the nuisance bear problem is limited to the city folks, you're wrong. Our expanding population of black bears is becoming a real problem with many of North Carolina's farmers. It seems that the bears have developed a real taste for wheat, peanuts, sunflowers and the old standby black bear favorite food, sweet corn. These omnivorous animals seem to have the idea of, "if it taste good, eat it."
The Down East County of Beaufort if one of the leading counties in the record books for the number of black bears killed every year by hunters. Where some years ago the bear population was nearly wiped out, good wildlife management procedures were started and the bear population has expanded dramatically over the past thirty years or so. As the bear population grew larger the hunting season was lengthened to where Beaufort County (and a lot of other N.C. Counties as well) have a liberal bear hunting season and still the bears seem to be increasing in numbers. Counties that have not seen any bears to amount to much for years are now experiencing a hunting season for bear and local farmers are experiencing crop damages like they've never seen before.
The wildlife laws and regulations clearly allows farmers who are having problems with bear depredation are allowed to shoot and kill these nuisance bears without having a permit. Chris Turner a NCWRC Wildlife Biologist for several eastern counties states that farmers who are having problems with bear eating or damaging their crops have the right to kill these nuisance bears to protect their valuable crops and that they do not have to have a permit or license to do so.
The same thing applies to nuisance deer on farmer's crops. The only thing is that once a nuisance animal is killed in the field its carcass must be disposed of in the immediate area or left in the field to decay. Once the animal is down and dead it can't be skinned and cleaned for human consumption and no part of the animal is to be removed. Even if left in the field Turner says that even then the vultures that will feed on the rotting carcass often cause crop damage too so it is advised to bury the animal's remains.
Even though it's not a requirement for a farmer to notify the wildlife authorities that he's going to destroy a nuisance bear, it is advisable to do so.
Some farmers who are having problems with nuisance bears down east are avid bear hunters themselves and hate to have to kill the hungry bears even though it's perfectly legal to do so if the animals are destroying their crops.
This holds true for not only bears but deer and other forms of wildlife as well. Farmers with deer in their peanut fields on Halifax and Northampton Counties routinely kill hundreds of deer every year to protect their crops. Other peanut farmers I know of have turned the excess deer into a cash crop by charging hunters for the right to hunt and kill the excess deer during the hunting season. It may be at least a partial solution to the black bear problem that's swiftly developing if the farmers can allow truly responsible hunters to purchase these hunting rights and help to control the excess bears.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction have lost much in this conflict. He was supposed to be the moderate peace broker who could finally forge a new deal with Israel. Now he cannot even claim to speak for all Palestinians and has shown that he has no leverage with Hamas, his archrival.
And then there's Iran, on the outside looking in but always a player when it comes to Hamas. Iran's hand now arguably has been weakened after this episode. The Iron Dome shot hundreds of its missiles out the sky.
While Israel has always accused Iran of smuggling weapons to Hamas through the Egyptian border, Iran today implicitly confirmed it.
"Gaza is under siege, so we cannot help them. The Fajr-5 missiles have not been shipped from Iran. Its technology has been transferred (there) and are being produced quickly," Mohamed Ali Jafari, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, is quoted as saying by the Iranian news agency ISNA.
The question now: If Israel attacks Iran, can Iran still call on Hamas to retaliate with missiles or have they been rendered ineffective with an ever-improving Iron Dome?
In just a matter of days, with one truce, allies and enemies in the region have shifted, and this will certainly affect any future peace negotiations.

Higher Taxes, Fees For Better Public Transportation?
The board of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation released its 21st Century Transportation Plan, which outlines the state's budgetary needs over the course of the next 10 years and beyond.
With a debt-ridden public transporation system needing repairs, the state will likely need to increase revenue from car registrations, license renewals, taxes and tolls, according to a new report.
The Board of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation released its 21st Century Transportation Plan on Monday, Jan. 14 which calls for a $13 billion overall investment in state transportations systems over the next decade.
Included in the report are several ideas to pay for public transportation needs including an increase in the vehicle registration fee by $53 to $103, an increase in the vehicle inspection fee by $19 to $48, boosting the state sales tax from 6.25 percent to 7.75 percent, increasing the gas tax by 30 cents per gallon to 51 cents per gallon and increasing the income tax from 5.25 percent to 5.66 percent. The report also floats a 2.4 cent-per mile miles traveled tax.
Do you support the new revenue ideas? Tell us in the comments box below.
Revenues from those fees would help cover the costs of the state's transportation project needs, which the report details.
- The state needs $684 million to operate the same systems in place today.
- Additionally, the state needs to invest $5.2 billion over the next 10 years for repairs to roadways, highways and structurally deficient bridges.
- The state needs $3.8 billion over the next 10 years to invest in existing transit services.
- The state needs an additional $275 million over the next 10 years to invest in Registry and airport maintenance.
- Overall, the plan calls for an additional $1.02 billion average investment per year.
"Without new revenues, the MassDOT Board of Directors will need to cut service at the MBTA and RTAs and significantly increase fares in order to approve a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2014, which begins July 1," according to the statement.
Gov. Deval Patrick, who attended a presentation of the plan Monday at the University of Massachusetts Boston, said the state is faced with difficult but necessary choices.
"What's plain as day is that we have to make choices. We can choose to invest in ourselves, to invest in a growth strategy that has been proven time and again to work. Or we can choose to do nothing. But let us be clear: doing nothing is a choice, too," he said. "And that choice has consequences. It means longer commutes, cuts in services, larger fare and fee increases, and a continuation of the self-defeating economics of cutting off large parts of our population from opportunity and growth."
He concluded by saying: "I choose growth. I choose shaping our own future over letting the future happen to us. I hope we all are ready that make that choice, and I look forward to working together with you to do so."

It very disheartening that politicians still seem to think "tax payer" equates to an endless revenue stream. It wasn't that long ago our sales tax was raised from 5% to 6.25% during the fiscal crisis. Then when the opportunity presented itself to roll back the sales tax, the politicians utilized their scare tactics of "Cut backs", threatening infrastructure break downs, less fireman, policemen and teachers. Now they make the same threats, allows us to tax you or else you will have unsafe roads and gridlock. Does anyone find it reasonable that the politicians who supposedly work for us, threaten us with "Scare Tactics" to force our hand for increased revenue? The Governor and the Transportation Secretary talk about "investing in the future", nobody seems to discuss the ramifications of increased gas tax or mileage fee would have on the cost of goods and services within our state. Based on their plan, we'll pay more taxes and then as the fees get passed onto all goods and services, we'll also pay more on the back end. How does that help the middleclass? Here's a novel idea, if the powers at be cannot find a way to be a way to repair, replace or maintain our transportation system, let us find somebody who can. Tax payers are not an untapped resource whenever fiscal irresponsibility comes to a head.

Just 3 months ago, the miles driven tax was talked about being set at a penny a mile. Now its jumped to 19 cents per mile. They really think we have an unlimited supply of money to turn over to them. Car inspections increasing 19 dollars as well. I wonder if the State will get all of it, or will the business doing the inspection receive any of that? I am guessing the station will see very little. which means it will no longer be profitable to offer State inspections, which in turn means you will have to drive farther to find a place that does them, All these extra miles at 19 cents per mile. Talk about being trapped on the treadmill! OK Ms, Warren,you talked a big game, now let's see if you can follow through on anything you said.

12:56 pm on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Just to be clear I believe it is 2.4cent/mile for the mileage driven tax vs 19cents more(21 to 51cents/gal) for the gas tax. Along with this are the other taxes sales and income tax increase. You can get details in document at http://willbrownsberger.com/a-bold-and-responsible-transportation-plan/ or possibly your representatives website.

Some of these figures are incorrect, and what is not clear in the Patch article is that these are options, where each one *alone* provides the total $1B/year that has been determined to be needed. Not all would be implemented, or not all at the levels mentioned. In particular, the 19cents/mile doesn't appear anywhere that I can see (I do see 2.4 c/mile, equivalent to $240/year for autos driven 10K year). For example, raising the gas tax from 21c/gal to 51c/gal would provide $1B/year. Of course that takes us from the 15th lowest to the highest gas tax in the nation. A different way to get it is to raise the sales tax from 6.25% to 7.75%, and yet a different way is to raise the income tax from 5.25% to 5.66%. But the point is that that each one *alone* closes this 'gap'. You can definitely argue whether this is the correct amount to be shooting for ($1B/year) and you can argue whether a single choice or combinations of lower changes to a group of these options is the way to go. But at least consider what was actually written as options...e.g. use the correct numbers. Reference: https://massdot.state.ma.us/Portals/0/docs/infoCenter/docs_materials/TheWayForward_Jan13.pdf

Thanks for reading Patch. This story is pretty clear in saying this is a report with ideas and not a done deal. It is also clear in saying the total called for is $13 billion.
Also, the 19 cents per mile reference was a mistake and has been corrected.

Group Targets Shale Gas Industry's Alliance with Private Water Companies
By Press Action
Many experts are predicting that wars of the future will be fought over water supplies as corporations and governments vie for the dwindling resource. While full-scale water wars between nation-states may be on the horizon, environmental groups and activists are already ramping up their resistance to companies diverting scarce water supplies to controversial industrial processes.
In the energy industry, for example, a growing number of companies are pursuing business opportunities in response to the shale gas industry's thirst for water. In May 2012, the oil and gas industry joined with the private water industry for a first-ever summit, held in Dubai, to discuss how energy producers will access water supplies in the changing environment.
"Representatives from some of the most powerful companies in the world—Shell, Dow, GE, Veolia, CH2MHILL, AES—met to consummate an unholy alliance focused on using (and polluting) trillions of gallons of water to frack and drill for every last drop of oil and gas," Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch, wrote in an article upon her return from the conference.

Environmental Groups Disagree on How to Fight Fracking in Illinois
By Press Action
With officials in New York once again delaying a decision on whether to allow the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to extract natural gas in the state, attention has now turned to a new battleground state: Illinois.
A recently introduced bill, H.B. 2615, establishes regulations on the use of fracking. The bill was the product of negotiations among lawmakers, industry officials and some environmental groups. The Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Illinois Environmental Council are pushing for passage of the bill, while other environmental groups are instead advocating for a long-term moratorium or ban on fracking in the state.
"We absolutely should be trying to keep fracking out of places that it's not occurring," Mark Schlosberg, national organizing director for Food & Water Watch, one of the groups opposed to H.B. 2615, said in a March 3 interview at an anti-fracking conference in Dallas. "When we don't do everything we can to hold that line and to roll things back, we're doing a disservice to what we could be doing."
The Sierra Club and the NRDC surprised many anti-fracking activists when they announced their support for H.B. 2615, the Disclosure of Hydraulic Fluid Composition Act. The bill was proposed on Feb. 21 with 26 co-sponsors. On March 4, the bill was assigned to the House Revenue and Finance Committee.

'Promised Land' Undermines Environmental Message, Playing into Industry Hands
By Press Action
If you want intrigue and drama, don't go see "Promised Land." If you want to learn about hydraulic fracturing, don't go see "Promised Land." If you want to see Matt Damon go Jason Bourne on the natural gas industry, don't go see "Promised Land." If you want environmental intrigue and drama, go rent "Erin Brockovich" or "Silkwood."
But if you've been longing to see a meditation on the dilemmas facing small-town America, then "Promised Land" is the movie for you.
During the month-long media tour leading up to its release, Damon and co-star John Krasinski repeatedly said, "'Promised Land' is about American identity and where we've come from, where we are and where we're headed." By describing it as a pro-community movie, not an anti-fracking flick, many pundits believed the actors, who also co-wrote the screenplay and co-produced the movie, were trying to steer clear of the natural gas industry's wrath.
As it turns out, Damon and Krasinski were telling the truth. Fracking plays second fiddle to the country roads and miniature horses of southwestern Pennsylvania. Despite going soft on fracking, the movie, which opened nationwide on Jan. 5, still drew the ire of shale gas companies and their advocates. In fact, the actors should send a thank-you note to the natural gas industry for stoking controversy that will certainly boost box office sales.

Harnessing the Power of Persuasion Proves Crucial in Shale Gas Wars
By Press Action
The anti-fracking movement grows larger every day as more people learn about shale gas drilling's effects on human health and the environment.
And yet, despite the movement's increasing strength, natural gas companies continue to hold the upper hand. Legislative houses and court houses in shale country—and at the federal level—are stacked with pro-industry officials. With huge sums of money allocated to public relations and lobbying efforts, the industry also claims a distinct advantage in the information wars.
But as its numbers grow, the anti-fracking movement could begin to close the gap in the public relations battle—as long as its members begin to take seriously the importance of messaging and communications.
"One of the advantages that the other side has, being industry, is access to the best marketing and PR people," Joseph Romm, senior fellow at American Progress and editor of the ClimateProgress.org blog, told the audience at the Drilling Down conference in Baltimore on Dec. 8. "I do think there's no question that people who are very good at communications can win debates when the facts are not on their side."

Fracking in Focus: Pittsburgh Filmmaker Chronicles Impact of Shale Gas Revolution
By Press Action
Sound-bite journalism dominates the broadcast news media's coverage of top environmental issues. The heated debate on the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, for the extraction of natural gas from shale gas plays is no exception.
This dumbed-down form of reporting, when combined with industry advertising that accompanies the news reports, does little to enhance the public's understanding of such an important issue. It offers little hope for enlightenment, especially when so many Americans still count TV news shows as their primary source of information.
In a report released earlier this year, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a New York-based media watchdog group, found that during the past three years, "there has been exponentially more propaganda for the wonders of natural gas on our screens each night than theoretically objective news segments about natural-gas extraction."
Concerned by the major media's superficial coverage of the fracking debate, Kirsi Jansa, a Pittsburgh-based independent filmmaker and journalist, saw an opportunity to drill down into the issue. "These are the kind of stories that you cannot tell in sound bites," Jansa said. "My attempt is to get the human voice and human story out there. And if you shorten it to the sound bite, you lose the core of it or somehow the experience of it."

Pa. Farmer's Anti-Fracking Conservation Easement Serves as Model for Other Landowners
By Press Action
When Pennsylvania organic farmer Dr. J. Stephen Cleghorn publicly announced plans to create a first-in-the-nation conservation easement on his land, with the aim of preventing hydraulic fracturing, he was hoping his act would encourage others to do the same. It's been only a few days since Cleghorn made the announcement, and already other landowners have contacted him to learn more about his novel approach to keeping natural gas drillers at bay.
"I've actually had inquiries from three other landowners already asking about it and I'm referring them to the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund," Cleghorn said at a Nov. 14 press conference held in a field on his 50-acre Paradise Gardens and Farm in Jefferson County, Pa. And then at the press conference itself, Cleghorn was approached by a landowner from Cambria County, Pa.—two counties to the southeast of Jefferson County—who wanted to learn about this unique approach to slowing down or stopping drilling activity.
"We hope that other people, particularly here throughout Pennsylvania, but anywhere where this type of attack against nature, such as where hydraulic fracturing is happening, will take a look at this and consider doing the same," Cleghorn said.

Pa. Farmer Bans Fracking on Land through 1st-of-its-Kind Conservation Easement
By Press Action
A Pennsylvania farmer has become the first landowner in the United States to use a conservation easement to recognize and protect the rights of water, forests and wild ecosystems.
Stephen Cleghorn, who owns a 50-acre organic farm in Jefferson County, Pa., said the easement will ban activities such as hydraulic fracturing and will "elevate the rights of nature above the power claimed by extractive energy corporations to despoil the environment."
The easement was established in honor of Cleghorn's late wife, Dr. Lucinda Hart-González, who died of lung cancer on Nov. 14, 2011. Earlier this year, a ceremony was held at Cleghorn's farm, Paradise Gardens and Farm, at which Hart-González's ashes were scattered on the property and the farm was declared forever inviolate and off-limits to the use of fracking for the production of shale gas.

'Lesser Evil' Voters: Stop Enabling Your Abusers (part 2)
By Mickey Z.
"I think it is dangerous to confuse the idea of democracy with elections. Just because you have elections doesn't mean you're a democratic country." -Arundhati Roy
(Read part 1 of this article here)
A liberal and a progressive walk into a restaurant called Democracy.
The sign outside promises, "Exercise Your Freedom of Choice with Our Varied Menu."
Here's what that menu offers:
Double Cheeseburger Deluxe: $100
Double Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe: $100
Liberal: I don't even have to look. I already know what I'm getting.
Progressive: But…
Liberal (to waiter): The usual, please. Just make sure none of that evil bacon touches my less evil meat and cheese.
The liberal and the waiter share a chuckle.
Progressive (to waiter): You got any vegan options?
Waiter: Well, we're working towards that, you know, one baby step at a time. Be patient but of course, keep hoping.
Liberal: Change takes time. Lots and lots and lots of time.
They all nod solemnly.
Progressive: I was really hoping for a salad.
Liberal: Let me guess, a green salad?
The liberal and the waiter share a loud laugh.
Progressive (to waiter): Can I order a salad?
Waiter: Oh, you're free to order anything you want here. This is Democracy.
Progressive: Okay, cool. I'd like a salad. (to liberal) Democracy is swell.

Code Green: Sounding the Alarm to Save an Eco-Friendly Cartoon
By Press Action
What could be more important than protecting the environment? A majority of the ills associated with modern society are rooted in a logic of domination, which manifests itself most perniciously in humans claiming entitlement to the perceived benefits that come from brutalizing and terrorizing the natural world.
If we don't do what's necessary to stop and then reverse modern society's war on the planet, we have no future. That is why ending the destruction of the environment is our most pressing job today.
There are many positions to be filled in the campaign to save the planet. One of the key roles is information dissemination—getting the word out about the large-scale devastation and how a grow-or-die economic system is a major contributor to the crisis.
When people learn about the magnitude of the harm, they are forced to process the information. Some will make the calculation that the human benefits of industrial growth outweigh environmental protection, even if the current economic system is inherently unsustainable. Others, however, will digest the information and then feel sick in the stomach about the environmental costs. They will begin searching for ways to prevent the dominant culture from continuing to inflict such devastation on the environment.

Advice for Social Activists: Respect Your Own Animal Rights
By Press Action
"The sooner we learn to recognize and respond to signs of stress and depression in ourselves and each other, the stronger our movements will become." –Pattrice Jones, Aftershock
Activists of various stripes undoubtedly experience periods of burnout. Working long hours—typically without pay and little appreciation—on campaigns or issues where victories are few and far between can be demoralizing.
Some social change activists get so frustrated with the perceived lack of results from their hard work and the rampant apathy among the general public that they give up entirely and retreat from activism.
But it doesn't have to be that way. "If you are burned out doing one thing, the alternative isn't quitting activism. It's just finding a different thing that you can do," explained author, scholar and activist Pattrice Jones, speaking Aug. 4 at the Animal Rights 2012 conference in Alexandria, Va.

Anti-Fracking Movement Goes to Washington
By Press Action
Thousands of people traveled to the West lawn of the U.S. Capitol on July 28 for the first national demonstration against the use of hydraulic fracturing for extracting natural gas from shale formations.
Let me repeat that. Thousands of people showed up in Washington, D.C., to let lawmakers and natural gas companies know they are serious about stopping the environmentally destructive practice known as fracking and other related gas industry activities. Six years ago, 99% of the people in the crowd probably had never heard of fracking. Heck, six years ago, even those of us familiar with this industrial method for creating fractures in shale rock in order to release the natural gas that resides within it weren't sure how to spell the word. Is it "frac" job or "frack" job?
As we were distracted by trivial spelling debates, natural gas producers and their landmen were busy snatching up huge amounts of acreage in the sweet spots of the nation's shale gas plays. The rush to lease the acreage and then start producing the gas—what the industry fondly calls the "shale gas revolution"—was in full swing.
But local residents and grass roots environmentalists—not the Big Green groups with headquarters in Washington, some of whom remain allies of the gas industry—began asking questions. They were starting to see the impacts of gas industry activity in their communities, including contamination of ground water, air quality degradation, the migration of gases and fracking chemicals to the surface, surface contamination from spills and flowback, and the destruction of forest land, animal habitats and ecosystems.

Declaring a Farm Forever Inviolate of Drilling for Shale Gas
By Press Action
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive?. I like a little rebellion now and then." -Thomas Jefferson
Drawing upon this nation's Declaration of Independence as inspiration, Dr. J. Stephen Cleghorn, co-founder of the 50-acre Paradise Gardens and Farm organic farm that sits above the Marcellus Shale formation, is holding a press conference to declare—in defiance of any established laws which say otherwise—that his farm shall never be violated from above or below by unconventional shale gas drilling. He will seal his declaration upon the scattering of ashes that are all that is left of the farm's co-founder, his late wife Dr. Lucinda Hart-González, who died of cancer in November 2011.
"May her ashes," he will say as he drops them to the ground below, "declare this farm forever inviolate of any attack upon it as a living system. Her blessed ashes hereby declare a new right of love at the surface and forever below this farm that no gas drill may ever penetrate."
WHO: Dr. Cleghorn will be joined by grassroots activists who oppose shale gas drilling from the Pennsylvania Alliance for Clean Water and Air (PACWA), Marcellus Protest, Protecting Our Waters and several others. Also invited: Senator Joseph Scarnati, Speaker Sam Smith, J. Brett Harvey (CEO of CONSOL Energy), Douglas H. Miller (CEO of EXCO Resources) and Larry and Maxine Burkett of Punxsutawney, who hold the deed to the gas rights under the farm.

Communities Grow More Polarized in Uncertain World of Shale Gas Development
By Press Action
"The areas of the United States having the highest levels of long‐term poverty, outside of those having a history of racial inequalities, tend to be found in the very places that were once the site of thriving extractive industries." -William R. Freudenburg
The fracking debate isn't only about the environmental damage. The economic and social impacts of shale gas drilling also are proving divisive in state houses and communities located above natural gas fields across the country.
In Pennsylvania, residents who live in counties with the heaviest shale gas industry activity are experiencing an increase in social conflict, Timothy Kelsey Ph.D., professor of agricultural economics at Pennsylvania State University, said at an April 30 conference on the health impacts of shale gas extraction. The conference, held in Washington, D.C., was sponsored by the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences.
Communities "are becoming more polarized" between those residents for and against drilling in the Marcellus Shale, Kelsey said. Part of the conflict is between "the haves and the have-nots"—landowners who received relative pennies from gas companies to lease their land and those who struck more lucrative deals, he said.

The UN May Have Silenced the Afghan Public
By Afghan Peace Volunteers
"Today, Afghanistan and the U.S. initialed and locked the text of the strategic partnership agreement," said Karzai's spokesman, Aimal Faizi. "This means the text is closed…"
Why "lock" or "close" the future of Afghanistan to 30 million ordinary Afghan citizens?
While the world may accept that the U.S. and Afghan governments have some "state" or "noble" considerations for not revealing the contents of the U.S. Afghan Strategic Partnership Agreement, how about the democratic consideration of involving Afghans in their own future?
Even the Afghan Parliament was in the dark and uninvolved until they were recently given a peek when Afghanistan's National Security Advisor, Rangin Dadfar Spanta, read "portions" of the Agreement to assembled parliamentarians on 23rd April, saying that the U.S. will defend Afghanistan from any outside interference via "diplomatic means, political means, economic means and even military means."
With a Rebel Yell, Deep Green Resistance Takes Message to Southeast
By Press Action
During a two-week period this summer, radical environmentalists will be spreading their message of resistance to industrial capitalism to an area of the country that they hope will prove a fertile recruiting ground. Instead of preaching to the converted in historically friendly communities across the western United States, Deep Green Resistance is heading to the Southeast, where the ruling elite has never hesitated to subsidize a nuclear power plant project or clamp down on a trade union organizing effort.
A traveling group of DGR activists will be touring seven Southeast cities in what the group's organizers are calling the "Culture of Resistance Roadshow." At each stop of the tour, there will be music, art and informative presentations that DGR hopes will give activists the tools they need to make a difference in the struggle for a livable future.
The tour kicks off in Miami on June 16 and then makes its last stop in Washington, D.C., on June 30. In between, the traveling roadshow will visit Gainesville, Fla., on June 18, Asheville, N.C., on June 22, Chapel Hill, N.C., on June 23, Knoxville, Tenn., on June 25, and Richmond, Va., on June 27.

House Speaker John Boehner said he's "not confident at all" that Congress can reach a budget deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff" at the end of this year.
On Tuesday morning Moody's, a credit rating agency, released a report threatening to lower the U.S. government's AAA credit rating if Congress didn't agree to a major deficit reduction package. Asked by CNN how confident he was that congressional negotiators could avoid that action Boehner replied, "I'm not confident at all."
The fiscal cliff is the combination of the automatic cuts to federal programs scheduled to go into effect in January and the tax increases that would result from expiration of all of the "Bush era" tax cuts at the end of this year.
The speaker maintained that House Republicans already passed legislation to replace those spending cuts and extend all the current tax rates.
"Listen the House has done its job on both the sequester and the looming tax hikes that will cost our economy some 700,000 jobs," Boehner said, and shifted the blame to Democrats, adding, "The Senate at some point has to act. And on both of these -- where is the President? Where's the leadership? Absent without leading."
Although Moody's report specified it would consider cutting the government's rating if an agreement didn't emerge in the next year, an aide to Boehner told CNN that the speaker's comments reflected his confidence level about reaching a deal by the end of 2012. Without any serious bipartisan negotiations taking place, both parties are expected to return to the issue in the lame duck session of Congress in mid-November.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said there were some discussions going on now, but conceded "there has not been a great deal of movement' on any potential budget deal.
But Hoyer was more upbeat about a deal emerging - after the election.
"I am optimistic that once this election is over that the patriotism of members -- Republicans and Democrats -- will come and summon them to coming to an agreement on the most important question confronting this nation and that is putting this nation on a more fiscally sustainable credible path."
Even after Congress reached a deal in the summer of 2011 to raise the debt limit and agreed to a series of spending cuts, Standard & Poor's, one of Moody's rival credit rating agencies, downgraded for the first time the U.S. credit rating.

The fifth annual Polk School District Reality Fair is scheduled to take place on Feb. 6 at Rockmart High School.
Katie Thomas, Career, Technical, Agricultural and Education (CTAE) director said the program provides students with an opportunity to learn more about choosing a career pathway. It also gives them a taste of real-world reality as they are given a scenario that teaches them to budget money and balance work and family responsibilities.
"We've have a lot of feedback from parents and students, and it's all positive," Thomas said.
Students at the Reality Fair will receive a folder with a career the student has expressed interest in and information stating the career's average monthly salary.
Adding to the experience, students at the fair will be randomly assigned a marital status and whether or not they have children.
Once the students receive their folders, they have to visit various booths staffed by community volunteers and teachers to pay out monthly expenses for housing, transportation, utilities, insurance and groceries.
If they have any money left over, they can visit booths for entertainment, travel or furniture.
Students who do not have enough funds to cover expenses can visit "out of money" booths to speak with the employment office, parents or financial advisers for help.
"The fair tells students how much money a career pays, and how much it costs to buy groceries, take care of kids and all kinds of combinations," interim Superintendent Ray
Hammett said. "Occasionally they may walk away saying well maybe I don't want to go with this career after all, and that's just as important."
Displays and teachers for each of Polk School District's ten CTAE programs will be available for students once they are done with the booths.
Hammett said that teachers would be available to help students needing additional information. "For instance if a student is interested in a health occupation field such as nursing, they can go speak with them."
According to Hammett, the fair lasts about an hour. Students from Cedartown Middle School are scheduled to participate in the morning and Rockmart students will go in the afternoon.
The fair and CTAE presentation are precursors to registering for classes for the 2013-2014 school year.

5/10 Suicide Attempt-- A 60-year-old man needed assistance after taking 15 Xanax and overdosing at his residence
From the Public Information Office of Cal State Fullerton --Thirty-four years ago, the President's Scholars program was launched at Cal State Fullerton.
AB 1266 would allow transgender students to take part in school sports and other sex-segregated activities, and use sex-segregated facilities "consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records." The bill passed the Assembly 45-24 along party lines May 9, and will return to the Assembly for a final vote after a state Senate review.
"Current law already prohibits discrimination on gender, but some districts don't recognize transgendered students," Quirk-Silva said Monday in a phone interview. "For those highly opposed to this for whatever reason, there are processes I'm sure they can go through to address it," Quirk-Silva said.
Local author David Jerome, the father of two children in the Fullerton School District, is one constituent who strongly opposes the bill.
"When I saw that Sharon had voted for AB 1266, I found it disgusting that she, as a parent and a teacher, would potentially sacrifice the innocence and safety of every CA school kid to please one Democrat special-interest group," Jerome said in an email while vacationing with his family.
"As Sharon said, there is already 'harassment' legislation to protect transgender kids on the books, and then it's dealt with on a case-by-case basis in an affected district," he said. "Her point adds to my belief that 1266 is an unnecessary bill."
Quirk-Silva said the bill's opponents are presenting "the worst-case scenarios: that there would be many students that would use this as an excuse to go into the bathrooms of the other sex."
"Districts have a lot of flexibility," she said. "I think it's something at the local level each individual school should set some sort of oversight, and that all genders will be put in safe scenarios," she said.
Quirk-Silva said she struggled with how to vote. "It is uncomfortable, and it isn't easy. And it's not something I take lightly," she said. "If I get feedback on it from my constituents, I am certainly open to voting differently," she said.

Julie Kindstrand first jumped on her father's board when she was 11 years old. Five years later she turned pro. Now 20, she is headed to Barcelona next month for the X-Games – if she can raise the money in time.
"She first came in with a cane in hand, barely able to walk. Six months later, she has gotten rid of the cane and the doctors say that she has added years to her life," said Jason Wenneberg, a sensei at American Martial Arts Academy in Fullerton.

The U.S. Open Almost Underway
In less than 24 hours, the U.S. Open kicks off at Bethpage Black. What can we expect? Here are just a few of the anticipated highlights:
20-year-old Rory McIlroy will make his first start in the U.S. Open. The Northern Ireland native is fresh off his professional debut at The Masters where he achieved the third-highest average driving distance of all the players to make the cut.
As we mentioned in an earlier post, Phil Mickelson will play in the tournament after receiving encouraging news regarding his wife's breast cancer diagnosis. Mickelson met with the media to discuss his return before heading out for practice rounds with Jim Furyk, Justin Leonard and Darron Stiles.
Andrew Svoboda also will play. He replaces Robert Karlsson, who withdrew after suffering an eye injuring during the first week of the St. Jude Classic.
Two words: Tiger Woods. He's been practicing the course for several days now, which may have its advantage. The last time the U.S. Open was held at Bethpage Black – back in 2002 – Woods won.
So who will be the victor this year – will it be Woods, Mickelson, or maybe rookie McIlroy? Nobody knows for sure, but we'll be glued to our sets all weekend to find out!
