Toronto issues 'Extreme Cold' weather alert
CTV Toronto
Published Monday, January 21, 2013 11:01AM EST
Last Updated Monday, January 21, 2013 6:36PM EST
Toronto has issued an "Extreme Cold Weather Alert," warning residents to beware the perils of frigid temperatures now gripping the city.
The alert issued by the City of Toronto Monday morning "is in effect until further notice."
In the event of such alerts, the city ramps up efforts to protect the people most vulnerable to the cold.
Measures include:
- easing of rules at homeless shelters, so that people are not turned away without alternate accommodations
- the opening of 172 additional overnight shelter spaces
- an increase in overnight outreach on downtown streets
- distribution of TTC tokens at some drop-in centres
An alert is typically issued when Environment Canada predicts a temperature of -15 C or lower, without wind chill.
According to the agency's latest forecast, the temperature is expected to dip to -13 C overnight Monday.
Forecasters are calling for the cold trend to continue throughout the week, with temperatures hitting a low of -20 C on Wednesday night.
Anyone seeking information on accessing city services during the Extreme Cold Weather Alert can call the city's 311 telephone information line, or contact the Central Intake line directly at 1-877-338 3398.
The Streets to Homes Assessment and Referral Centre located at the intersection of Peter and Richmond Streets is also open 24 hours a day. People who want a respite from the cold, but do not want a shelter bed are invited to visit there anytime.

Deroy Murdock: Meanwhile, VA staffers are awash in bonuses
• St. Louis' VA facility has featured some 1,800 veterans exposed to HIV and hepatitis, thanks to dirty dental equipment. Patient-safety problems, including wrongful deaths, have plagued this site. So what? Between 2009 and 2013, hospital director RimaAnn Nelson took home bonuses of almost $25,000.
The private sector does not long tolerate such staggering incompetence and malfeasance. Only in government does this "Kill a vet, get a check" ethos survive.

Hi: 19° Lo:11°
By Beth Sharp Thursday 20 February 2014 Updated: 20/02 23:55
A BROMSGROVE pet shop manager has labelled the town's parking attendants 'unforgiving', claiming they are driving its customers away.
Jess Rowley, from Just for Pets, Market Street, said there had been an ongoing issue with the area's civil enforcement officers ticketing volunteers, donors and shoppers.
She claimed she had spotted wardens waiting around the corner of the shop in the hope of catching people who had pulled up on the double yellow lines, outside the store, to drop off and pick up heavy loads of feed and litter.
Mrs Rowley added that she was particularly angered by the latest ticket which was given to a representative from the Cramar Cat Sanctuary charity in Hopwood who had only pulled up for a couple of minutes whilst staff helped upload several bin liners full of cat food and litter.
The Standard reported in September how, in a bid to preventing its customers being ticketed, the store was offering to refund its customers a 40p car parking fee for those spending more than £10.
Now Mrs Rowley has been forced to take it one step futher and the shop has also introduced a carry to car service, along with the 40p parking ticket refund.
She said: "I feel a lot of the time we are being targeted.
"It is a money-making scheme and they have a zero tolerance policy.
"Not once have any of the traffic wardens popped their heads into our store to give the customer a warning about parking on double yellows, which in most cases would be enough to put people off doing it again.
"I feel Bromsgrove District Council won't be happy until consumers no longer have any reason to visit the town centre.
"They need to do more to encourage shoppers not put them off."
A Bromsgrove District Council spokesperson said: "We cannot speak about individual cases but can reassure residents and visitors to the district that our civil enforcement officers monitor compliance with traffic regulations in a fair and even-handed way."

Tokai, Edimer drive drug candidates to the fast track
Send this to a friend
- Lori Valigra
Tokai Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Edimer Pharmaceuticals, both of Cambridge, each said in separate announcements that they have a drug that will be fast tracked by the FDA.
Fast track is a process to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious diseases and fill an unmet medical need, according to the FDA's Web site. Its purpose is to get important new drugs to patients earlier. A drug that receives fast track designation also is eligible for accelerated approval.
Tokai's lead candidate, galeterone (TOK-001) for treating prostate cancer, and Edimer's ED1200 recombinant protein for the rare disease X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED), received the designation.
Tokai recently completed a Phase 1 proof-of-concept study of galeterone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that is part of the Androgen Receptor Modulation Optimized for Response (ARMOR) clinical development program. The company said CRPC is an advanced, difficult-to-treat form of prostate cancer that occurs when the disease progresses despite the use of androgen deprivation therapy. The company said it plans to start a Phase 2 clinical trial in the second half of this year.
"Despite recent progress in prostate cancer treatment, CRPC often becomes resistant to androgen deprivation therapy, and galeterone's unique triple mechanism of action may offer an important therapeutic advance," Martin D. Williams, president and CEO of Tokai, said in a written statement. "We are very encouraged by the recent positive results from our ARMOR1 clinical study, and we look forward to advancing galeterone into Phase 2 development in patients with CRPC later this year."

Spectacular Photos of Ideal, Imaginary Libraries Around the World

Now, many librarians are punk-rock agents of social change, complete with tattoos, tech savvy, and new ideas to get books to the people.

11 of the Most Beautiful Museum Libraries in the World

The 25 Most Beautiful Public Libraries in the World
[Editor's note: In celebration of the holidays, we're counting down the top 12 Flavorwire features of 2012. This post, at #3, was originally published April 16.] We're suckers for beautiful libraries here at Flavorpill, as you might have noticed from our lists of beautiful college libraries and beautiful private libraries from all over the world. But public libraries are probably even more important to the culture at large than either of these — they're places where anyone can enter and partake of knowledge they offer, where anyone can engage with history, literature and culture. And while we know it's the books that are important, everyone likes to read in a beautiful space, so we decided to take a look at the most beautiful public libraries in the world. We excluded some very beautiful libraries that may be open to the public as museums or tourist attractions but with limited function as actual libraries, like the Vatican library (which to use, you must prove your qualifications and research needs) and the library of Dutch Parliament, but we think there are enough public libraries proper to make up for their loss. Click through to see our choices for the twenty five most beautiful public libraries in the world, and let us know if we've missed your favorite in the comments. … Read More
The 25 Most Beautiful College Libraries in the World
[Editor's note: In celebration of the holidays, we're counting down the top 12 Flavorwire features of 2012. This post, at #4, was originally published December 13, 2011.] The college library, whether ornate or modern, digital or dusty, is in many ways the epicenter of the college experience — at least for some students. It is at once a shining emblem of vast, acquirable knowledge, a place for deep discussions and meetings of the mind, and of course, a big building full of books, which, as far as we're concerned, is exciting enough. Colleges and universities are understandably quite proud of their libraries, which can be a selling point for prospective students and donating alumni alike, and they often become the most well-designed and beautifully adorned buildings on campus. To that end, and perhaps to inspire your studies a bit, we've collected a few of the most beautiful college and university libraries in the world, from Portugal to France to Boston. Did your alma mater's library make the list? Or did we miss one of your favorites? Let us know in the comments. … Read More

In an interview with the Examiner, Angelo Bertolotti reportedly said, "I am disgusted and outraged that Lifetime decided to produce such a trashy project, defiling the memory of my beautiful, talented daughter, Brittany Murphy. Frankly, I am amazed at their audacity of calling it 'a true story,' without conducting any research or consulting with any members of the family." READ FULL STORY

Outlook for 2013 hinges on drought prospects
Last summer's drought will remain in farmers' memories for years. Exactly how long its effects will remain, however, will depend on moisture levels to be recorded in the new year.
If above average moisture levels are not received through the end of 2013 planting, the drought will likely remain in effect, according to Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University agricultural meteorologist. "We're still going to be at risk of continued drought in a lot of places because soil moisture is less than usual."
For a successful 2013 crop, Taylor estimates that 18 inches of moisture are needed between the fall of 2012 and the end of 2013 spring planting to restore adequate moisture to Midwest fields. Average moisture levels for November through May, however, total only 14 inches.
According to Taylor, there are reasons to expect a prolongation of the drought that began in late 2011 and hit hard in 2012. "We are still going to be at risk in a lot of places to have the drought continue into 2013 because the soil moisture is still less than usual."
On the heels of the 2012 drought, 2013 will begin with many of the same issues and impacts as were observed at the end of 2012, says Brian Fuchs, climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
"The lack of soil moisture will continue throughout much of the region, including areas that received precipitation last fall," Fuchs says. "Deep soil moisture is still lacking."
Through the end of February, drought will persist over the mid-section of the United States and in portions of the Southeast as the winter months are a dry time of year, according to Fuchs. "However, with no strong forcing mechanism in place, it is anticipated that the unseasonably warm and mild winter of 2011-2012 will not be repeated."
For the balance of the current winter, Fuchs anticipates more variability along with more "typical" winter weather. The Midwest and Southeast areas that received some soil moisture recharge last fall are also the areas with the best chance to see continuing improvements, building upon the relief from the fall season.
The areas hardest hit are in Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Georgia. Many of the areas have only been in drought for the last five to seven months, and most of the observed impacts in 2012 were to agriculture. "However, as the duration of the drought continues, more impacts will develop," Fuchs predicts.
Areas of the southern Plains and southeastern United States that have already been in multi-year drought episodes are going to continue to have water issues develop even in instances where precipitation provides some short-term relief. "Going into 2013, the agricultural impacts are likely to persist while hydrologic impacts related to water supply will start to develop if we don't see any relief," according to Fuchs.
Weekly updates can be found at the United States Drought Monitor.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Exchange space a buzz of pure energy
Allows entrepreneurs access to equipment
It doesn't look anything like a trendy tech startup or swanky downtown corporate head office, but you really have to see the AssentWorks/RampUp makerspace in the west Exchange.
David Chilton, the newest "dragon" on CBC's Dragon's Den, flew out to Winnipeg to do just that. (One of Chilton's Dragon's Den investments was prototyped at AssentWorks.)
Not quite two years old, the homemade, member-based makerspace now has close to $2 million worth of equipment in a 10,000-square-foot, third-floor warehouse on Adelaide Street.
Although it's member-driven, with in-kind contributions, the federal government came up with a $467,000 contribution earlier this year. Princess Auto was one of the original sponsors, providing an amazing range of workshop tools, and more private-sector sponsors are gradually coming forward.
One of its fundamental roles is to allow inventors and entrepreneurs access to equipment for rapid, cheap prototyping of new products.
At an open house Chilton attended this week there were all sorts of entrepreneurs, inventors, and hobbyists at work, while curious visitors looked over their shoulders.
There is nothing fancy about the place -- except perhaps the vending machines that offer stuff like duct tape, utility knives and even microprocessors -- but it is a buzz of pure energy.
"I wouldn't want to change it too much," Chilton said. "Yeah, it's nothing fancy but that's not what this is about. It's a workspace. It has to have that to get the right passion and energy. It's perfect."
Michael Lambeta, a third-year University of Manitoba engineering student, was designing (and actually producing) printed circuit boards as part of a student competition to build a satellite. He said the university does not have that kind of equipment available.
"He lives here," said Kerry Stevenson, one of the founding directors of AssentWorks, along with industrial designer David Bernhardt and Michael Legary, founder and owner of local digital security firm Securis.
Stevenson, a Winnipeg information technology veteran, is the author of one the most popular blogs on 3D printing on the Internet, Fabbaloo.com.
AssentWorks now has five 3D printers as well as a laser cutter, in addition to equipment that will make printed circuit boards from scratch.
Matthew Olson, a long, lean 23-year-old, said he spends between 20 and 80 hours a week at AssentWorks. His company, Home Snowboards, is just about to launch its first product line that has been prototyped and developed at AssentWorks (and the Composites Innovation Centre).
Olson swears by the benefits of having AssentWorks around.
Chilton has become a member of AssentWorks' growing fan base.
"I'm not in Winnipeg for business; I'm here to see this place," he said. "They have done a fantastic job of growth over a short period of time. It's very impressive."
Chilton has seen a few of these spaces (he said "they call it the makerspace movement") across the country and figures the AssentWorks/RampUp Manitoba space may be the largest in the country.
"That matters, because the more people who are collaborating and doing things and stealing and learning from each other the better," he said.
He figures it's also unique in that earlier this year, RampUp Manitoba, the budding entrepreneur consortium, merged with AssentWorks and put up its own homemade offices and meeting spaces in conjoining space.
"It's a mix you don't get in other ones," said Chilton.
Chris Johnson, one of the driving forces behind RampUp Manitoba, said there is plenty of synergy between the mostly high-tech startup guys and the prototyping centre.
"I personally have two products being prototyped right now," he said.
RampUp's "offices" are not much more than drywalled partitions from the workshop area, with some bare-bones computing, telephone and video equipment and the least-adorned boardroom in town.
There's 15 startups in the RampUp space and room for seven more. AssentWorks has 110 members.
Chilton said as great as the place is, marketing expertise and -- most importantly -- capital is required to get the products to market.
It's true AssentWorks/RampUp doesn't have a banking division just yet.
But Johnson said Chilton told him he'd be more comfortable funding someone from this space than one with fancy waterfalls in the office.

Wellington falter at the fastpitch softball champs
Relevant offers
Other Sports
Wellington lost their unbeaten record at the National Fastpitch Championships men's softball tournament yesterday after an upset loss to North Harbour but are still in a three-way tie for first place.
Gene Lutton's Wellington team were thrashed 9-0 by Harbour, who had been winless on the first day of the Christchurch tournament.
Japanese world championship pitcher Hikaru Matsuda did the damage with a bases-loaded grand slam home run and Isaac Fletcher also picked up two hits for Harbour. It was Matsuda's second home run of the day after a two-run shot in a 4-2 win over Hutt Valley.
Wellington had earlier edged out Japan Universities 3-2 with shortstop Jerome Raemaki continuing his rich batting form with two hits form four at-bats. Pitcher Joel Harris held the Japanese to four hits.
Black Sox star Wayne Laulu crushed a home run and a double in Wellington's 7-0 five innings win over Counties Manukau-Waikato and Raemaki also hit a two-bagger.
Hutt Valley had a disastrous day, slumping to three losses, including upset defeats to North Harbour 4-2 and 3-1 to Counties Manukau-Waikato, the tournament surprise packets who won three of their first four games. Hutt were also hammered 7-0 in five innings by Canterbury last night and are yet to record a win in Christchurch.
Auckland dug deep for two fifth inning runs to edge out Japan Universities 3-2.
Wellington, defending champions Canterbury and Auckland share the lead after two days with four wins from five games.
Glen Roff's Wellington team caused the upset of the women's tournament, beating two-time champions Auckland 8-4 yesterday.
Wellington scored three runs in the second inning and another three in the fourth and capitalised on five fielding errors by underpar Auckland. Nita Hickey slammed a home run for Wellington and Kayla Rangiawha slugged a triple. Canterbury draft pitcher Lauren Sutherland picked up the win for Wellington, who were outhit eight hits to six.
New Zealand White Sox captain Rebecca Bromhead and Santana Harris clouted triples for Auckland.
Hutt Valley beat crosstown rivals Wellington 6-3 despite being outbatted by nine hits to five. But Hutt produced the extra-base hits when they counted with White Sox infielder Danica Ferrison cracking a two-run homer, Mereana Makea and Brooke Eden blasting triples and pitcher Courtney Gettins swatting a two-bagger. Hickey and Katie McAndrew ripped triples for Wellington, who later beat Southern Pride 5-3.
But Hutt crashed to a 5-0 loss to Canterbury whose American pitcher Sam Parkes threw her third shutout of the tournament and her first no-hitter.
Canterbury took a stranglehold with three runs in the third inning for a 4-0 lead. White Sox world series hopeful Mikayla Werahiko had two hits for Canterbury and former New Zealand outfielder Robyn Hall made a timely return for form with two hits at the bottom of the batting order.
The Canterbury Red Hawks led Auckland 1-0 when captain Carly Werahiko picked a second inning walk, advanced on Hall's deft running bunt and scored on leadoff batter Te Rangi Heke's centrefield single.
But the White Sox-stacked Auckland team, spearheaded by national team pitchers Michal Tangaroa and Megan Farrell, pulled back a run in the third inning when Ancelle van Molendorff scored on Rebecca Bromhead's double.
The Aucklanders clinched the game in the fifth frame when Tegan Bromhead struck a single to score her sister Rebecca and Gillian Wills.
Alarmingly, Auckland made another four fielding errors to make it nine for the day, and Canterbury shaded them 6-5 in the hit count.
Auckland lead the women's competition from Canterbury, Hutt Valley and Wellington.
Day two results: Men: Wellington 3 Japan Universities 2, North Harbour 4 Hutt Valley 2, Canterbury 4 Southern Pride 0, Auckland 4 Counties Manukau-Waikato 3, Canterbury 4 Japan Universities 1, North Harbour 9 Wellington 0, Auckland 6 Southern Pride 1, Counties Manukau-Waikato 3 Hutt Valley 1, Canterbury 7 Hutt Valley 0, Wellington 7 Counties Manukau-Waikato 0, Auckland 3 Japan Universities 2.
Women: Auckland 12 Southern Pride 0, Hutt Valley 6 Wellington 3, Wellington 8 Auckland 4, Canterbury 5 Hutt Valley 0, Wellington 5 Southern Pride 3, Auckland 3 Canterbury 1.

Opposing war, racism, sexism, climate change, economic injustice and high-stakes testing.
The facts beyond dispute in Trayvon Martin's murder offer a shocking, if sadly unsurprising, example of what it's like to be young, black and male in much of America today.
The 17-year-old high school junior went out unarmed at halftime of the NBA All-Star game to buy snacks at a 7-Eleven and wound up being killed by George Zimmerman, an armed neighborhood watch captain who had called police to report a suspicious person.
Zimmerman called Martin a "Fu*king Co*n" on the first 911 call, as this chilling recording confirms, and was told clearly by the police dispatcher not to follow Martin and to wait until police arrived without doing anything.
According to the New York Times's Charles Blow, "Trayvon had a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. Zimmerman had a 9 millimeter handgun. The two allegedly engaged in a physical altercation. There was yelling, and then a gunshot. When police arrived, Trayvon was face down in the grass with a fatal bullet wound to the chest."
Claiming self-defense with many circumstantial questions to the contrary, Zimmerman has not been charged with police citing Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law, one of the broadest set of self-defense statutes in the country which, as Mychal Denzel Smith explains, places the threshold for self-defense so low that you need little more than your word to show that your life was in danger. Zimmerman's description of events was enough for the police, who evidently feel they know all that they need to know to determine that Zimmerman was acting appropriately.
Outrage has grown as details have emerged and media attention has highlighted the many questions in Zimmerman's portrayal of events. Rallies are being planned and elected officials and community activists are organizing against "Stand Your Ground" which has seen homicide rates jump from an average of twelve to thirty-three per year in the state since the legislation's implementation.
In a quest for justice, Martin's parents posted this Change.org petition calling on Florida's 18th District State's Attorney to prosecute Zimmerman. Please sign on today; then join the call to abolish Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. No more Trayvon Martins.
As the invaluable Democracy Now! reported this morning, New York City police arrested seventy-three Occupy Wall Street activists in Zuccotti Park on Saturday where hundreds had gathered to mark six months since the launch of OWS. Many people reported excessive use of force by officers; several cases were caught on camera and video. This is the latest in a pattern of police abuse against Occupy protesters.
Consequently, a coalition of community activists is calling for a full, independent investigation by the state Attorney General into the active suppression of the Occupy movement by the New York Police Department, including, but not limited to:
1. The use of taxpayer funds to infiltrate and monitor peaceful Occupy protest planning
2. Departmental practices that lead to, or allow for, the violent dispersal of crowds and the violent arrest of protestors
3. Civil rights violations of protestors by the police.
Join the call today. There's nothing more American than the right to peaceful protest.
After an enormously successful campaign to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline from being built, 350.org and numerous allies are gearing up for a major new fight to end four billion dollars in subsidies the fossil fuel industry receives each year.
There's no way to move to renewable energy sources like wind and solar without ending the subsidies to an industry that's already earning record-breaking profits: Exxon-Mobil is currently the most profitable corporation in the history of capitalism.
These subsidies are delivered through the tax code but they are essentially no different from government spending programs that provide money directly. As Seth Hanlon explained on Think Progress: "Some of these tax earmarks have been around for nearly a century, and the deep-pocketed industry has successfully challenged previous repeal attempts. But today's high gas prices and inflated profits have undermined the industry's argument that their tax breaks benefit consumers. Meanwhile, federal budget deficits have sharpened Congress's focus on eliminating wasteful government spending—of which oil subsidies are one of the worst examples."
So, the time is right to challenge the longstanding advantages the fossil fuel industry has enjoyed in this country. If you're ready to join this fight, sign on with 350. Over the next month, the group will issue a series of alerts designed to ramp up the pressure on elected officials by having them publicly declare where they stand on the question of subsidies.
The first step is this petition, designed to show Congress how important this issue is, and to alert every member of Congress that an army of concerned citizens are taking this issue very seriously. As Bill McKibben says in this stirring video message, "This fight is a lifetime fight." Join the battle now.
As this video documents, a crew of intrepid occupiers made a home last week in a New York City Bank of America branch lobby with a couch, a coffee table, a rug and a potted plant. "Bank of America took our homes so we thought we'd move in here!"
Join the action on March 15 as America turns the tables on the nation's largest bank and activists call out the avarice and social predation of America's largest bank with a series of creative actions.
Each spring the Left Forum convenes the largest progressive gathering in North America in a rambling, lively confab unlike anything else in the United States. Originally established in 1981 as the Socialist Scholar's Conference, the event was renamed the Left Forum in 2005 after a split in the ranks forced a year's hiatus and a reconstituted organizing structure.
Continuing a tradition begun in the 1960s, intellectuals and organizers meet to share notes, perspectives, strategies, experience, vision and, of course, drinks! Last year's conference, led by the LF's energetic director, Seth Adler, saw a record 3,500 activists attending more than 300 panels and workshops. This weekend's proceedings, invigorated by the Occupy movement, are expected to beat these numbers.
This year, the Left Forum will focus on the $64,000 question of how best to confront global capitalism: How can American leftists best support the many revolutionary struggles abroad that took root in 2011? How can the Occupy movement be sustained and nurtured in the US? How can new technologies help foster social change? What needs to happen for new chains of solidarity to bloom between workers in the West and their counterparts in the global South? Are democracy and capitalism mutually exclusive? Join an illustrious group of writers, thinkers and activists in this immensely important conversation about the fate of the earth.
Speakers include Medea Benjamin, Michael Ratner, Frances Fox Piven, Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, Wallace Shawn, Marina Sitrin and Nation writers John Nichols, Laura Flanders, Michael Klare, Ari Berman and Doug Henwood.
Panel topics are, to say the least, wide-ranging: Afghanistan, the impact of tax policy on job creation and poverty, the significance of art in the Occupy movement, Neoliberalism and the blockbuster film, the future of Thorium-fueled nuclear energy, self-mobilization from Johnson-Forest to Global Occupy and the US role in Mexico's drug war are just a few of the many themes that will be taken up.
This video featuring Barbara Ehrenreich at last year's opening plenary gives a good sense of the breadth and depth of the conversations you'll find at the LF.
Taking place at on March 18 and 19 at Pace University in Manhattan, the Left Forum, which is co-sponsored by The Nation, is the place to be for progressives this weekend. Check out the full, very extensive schedule, read up on the speakers and register your spot in the conversation.
The world has been celebrating International Women's Day since 1911 when it was established thanks to the efforts of activist Clara Zetkin. The idea was to create a global forum for celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women and provide a way for women's issues to be raised, discussed and addressed. This video offers a nice capsule history of the occasion.
Today, the occasion is 101 years old. Yet, women around the world still face a plethora of abuses ranging from wage inequality to femicide. In the United States, where women are treated far better than in much of the rest of the world, 1,181 women were murdered by their intimate partner last year; reproductive rights are practically restricted through both state and federal legislation, and women earn just 78 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Every year on March 8 and throughout the month, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more. Find an event near you and help spread the word.
This spring, the Occupy movement plans to take on Bank of America in a protracted, multi-pronged campaign exposing the predatory nature of the giant lending institution's common practices.
For the last three years Bank of America has been borrowing billions of dollars a day in "emergency lending" from the Federal Reserve at interest rates close to zero. All told, it has taken at least $2 trillion in rolling "emergency" loans since 2008. What does B of A do with that money? Lend it back to US taxpayers at 5 percent interest rates for mortgages and 20 percent or even 25 percent interest rates for credit cards. That's how Bank of America makes its profits—it lends your money back to you at interest.
In fact, conservatives should be outraged by Bank of America because it is perhaps the biggest welfare dependent in American history, with the $45 billion in bailout money and the $118 billion in state guarantees it has received since 2008 representing just the crest of a veritable mountain of federal bailout support.
Moreover, BoA is facing more than one dozen class-action lawsuits for wrongfully foreclosing on thousands of homeowners across the country. Independent experts estimate that the bank's electronic foreclosure system, called "robosigning," may be responsible for illegally forclosing on the homes of 5,000 military members as well as thousands of other US citizens.
The fix is clearly in.
That's why March 15, April 15 and May 15 will see concerted move our money actions, in which self-organized groups of individuals, community groups, organizations and congregations move their savings and checking accounts out of the big banks, specifically Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo into credit unions and regional lending institutions. It's an easy way to take a stand against rapacious capitalism. Get more info and tell all your friends.
This is one of the best (and cutest) arguments on behalf of eating organic food that I've ever seen or heard.
The University of Virginia is currently in the national spotlight in connection with lacrosse player George Huguely, convicted for the murder of Yardley Love.
What the media hasn't noticed, however, is that UVA itself is currently on trial for a long history of economic violence, as UVA English professor Susan Fraiman pointed out in a mass e-mail to the press. As a last resort to end a fourteen-year campaign for a living wage, fifteen students are now on day six of a hunger strike as part of an aggressive public campaign that includes a daily rally and march each day at 12 pm, a sunset vigil each evening at 6 and teach-in workshops from 7 to 8:30 pm.
The facts are stark, if not unfamiliar: the starting wage for UVA workers is $10.65, whereas current figures from the EPI put a living wage in Charlottesville at $13; work is increasingly outsourced to independent companies where contract workers typically earn minimum wage, with no benefits; UVA workers at the bottom of the pay scale are disproportionately African-American; and top university administrators earn over $400,000 and sometimes as much as $700,000.
The UVA Living Wage Campaign has wide support from the community. The city of Charlottesville passed a Living Wage ordinance back in 2000. "We have people going homeless here in the City of Charlottesville…some of them working full time, because of insufficient wages," said then-Mayor David Norris. In 2010 the body passed a resolution urging the university, the largest employer in town, to do likewise. Amping up the pressure, more than 325 faculty members have signed a petition calling for a living wage.
Check out livingwageatuva.org for images and updates about the hunger strike, testimonials from strikers, information about the campaign and its demands, and suggestions for ways you can support the campaign, including signing this petition imploring UVA President Teresa Sullivan to do the right thing.
A new front has opened up in the fight against the Keystone XL Pipeline, as Rocky Kistner recounts in an inspiring blog post for the NRDC.
As Congressional Republicans and their Big Oil allies continue to try to resuscitate the massive Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, landowners and activists are locking arms to fight pipeline builder TransCanada over eminent domain cases that could determine new routes where construction of the 1,700-mile project will be attempted. (For details and background, the Natural Resources Defense Council compiled an extensive document making clear how problematic the project really is.)
TransCanada has used eminent domain to acquire a number of tracts, but critics of the company are challenging that authority, citing a 2011 Texas Supreme Court decision that makes it harder for pipelines to meet the definition of a common carrier.
Last Friday, protesters gathered in Paris, Texas to support Lamar County farm manager Julia Trigg Crawford's eminent domain court fight with TransCanada, which is proposing to run the Keystone XL pipeline through her 600-acre family farm along the Red River near Paris. Crawford says the pipeline threatens Bois d'Arc Creek, which flows through the Northeast Texas region, as well as Native American archaeological remains. "My hope is that our state leaders will see that their landowners are being bullied," Crawford told the Kansas City Star-Telegram last week.
The protest included an unusual, and encouraging, mix of tea party supporters, independents, Democrats, Republicans and Occupy Dallas protesters, as this video shows.

WASHINGTON (AP) — People with accounts on the enrollment website for President Barack Obama's signature health care law are being told to change their passwords.
The advice follows an administration-wide review of the government's vulnerability to the confounding and internet-wide Heartbleed security flaw.
Senior administration officials say there is no indication that the HealthCare.gov site has been compromised and the action is being taken out of an abundance of caution. The officials say the government's Heartbleed review is ongoing and users of other websites may also be told to change their passwords in the coming days.
The Heartbleed computer bug has caused major security concerns across the Internet and affected a widely used encryption technology designed to protect online accounts.
The officials insist on anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the security review by name.
