- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty A Black Mound of Canadian Oil Waste Is Rising Over Detroit http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/18/business/energy-environment/mountain-of-petroleum-coke-from-oil-sands-rises-in-detroit.html?pagewanted=all Assumption Park gives residents of this city lovely views of the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit skyline. Lately they’ve been treated to another sight: a three-story pile of petroleum coke covering an entire city block on the other side of the Detroit River. Detroit’s ever-growing black mountain is the unloved, unwanted and long overlooked byproduct of Canada’s oil sands boom. And no one knows quite what to do about it, except Koch Carbon, which owns it. The company is controlled by Charles and David Koch, wealthy industrialists who back a number of conservative and libertarian causes including activist…

In April, National Geographic News published a story about the letter in which scientist Francis Crick described DNA to his 12-year-old son. In 1962, Crick was awarded a Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA, along with fellow scientists James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. Several people posted comments about our story that noted one name was missing from the Nobel roster: Rosalind Franklin, a British biophysicist who also studied DNA. Her data were critical to Crick and Watson's work. But it tur…

Xcel is asking time and time again for rate increases. It's time for the public to stand up and say enough is enough.” Hegtvedt and others spoke at a public-comment hearing at the offices of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. At issue was the rate hike application that Xcel said is necessary to overhaul its Colorado natural gas pipeline …
- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Bulgarian Election Observation: without trust in the Police, and the elimination of extreme poverty, can you have Real Democracy? http://www.pes.eu/en/news/bulgarian-election-observation-without-trust-police-and-elimination-extreme-poverty-can-you-hav Over 100 PES activists participated in Election observation during the Bulgarian Elections at the weekend, and it was sorely needed. On the positive side of the elections the Polling station procedure is very impressive and they have developed checks that other Electoral systems might find very useful. Firstly, each polling station has an Electoral commission made up of representatives of each political party and each political party also has the right to send someone from their party to observe in the polling station. A count is done in…

- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Foreclosed homeowners 'move in' to the Dept. of Justice http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/304555.html Underwater homeowners and hundreds of allies barricaded the front door of the Department of Justice building Monday afternoon to protest the “too big to jail banks” who have shirked punishment despite having destroyed “homes, savings and livelihoods.” Organized by Occupy our Homes, Home Defenders League, Campaign for a Fair Settlement, along with a number of community and faith leaders, the group held a sit-in outside the government building. “Banks stole our homes so we're moving in to the #DeptofJustice,” the protesters announced on Twitter.

Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, both Republicans, are fiscal hawks who have repeatedly voted against funding disaster aid for other parts of the country. They also have opposed increased funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency …

Extracting tar sands bitumen from under the boreal forests of Alberta, Canada requires huge amounts of energy and water.
