In 2010, Mitch Daniels, then Indiana’s Republican governor, covertly set out to ban Howard Zinn’s best-selling "A People’s History of the United States" from Indiana’s University
Who's Afraid of the People's History?
A recent Associated Press expose—drawing on e-mails obtained under the Freedom of Information Act—revealed that in 2010, Mitch Daniels, then Indiana’s Republican governor, covertly set out to ban Howard Zinn’s best-selling A People’s History of the United States from Indiana’s classrooms. Daniels had privately responded to Zinn’s death that year with unseemly glee; “This terrible anti-American academic has finally passed away,” he crowed.…
Traces of Radiation Found in Area Fish Not Dangerous, Expert Says, if you believe them.
It will be 300 years until the radioactive effects of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan nearly two and half years ago, go away.
The calamity knocked out power to the plant, sending its three active reactors spiraling out of control.
Since then, 400 metric tons of water a day is still being used to cool the melted fuel cores.
UC Davis Emeritus Professor Dr. Marvin Goldman says radioactive elements of… Continue

The rich in US are hoarding cash, giving rise to inequality while American protesters demand the rich pay more in taxes: Experts
America's wealthiest households are increasingly squirreling away their cash, according to two recently published reports, in a trend that could pose a threat to the economy at large and exacerbate already high levels of income inequality.
America's top 1 percent saved their money at a rate of 37 percent last quarter, according to a recent survey from American Express Publishing and the Harrison Group highlighted by CNBC. That means that during that period, wealthy Americans put away… Continue

Domestic Spying Is Dangerous to Freedom DHS, the DoJ, the DoD, the DEA, the CIA, the IRS, and the FBI are all in on it.
How is it that the government can charge Edward Snowden with espionage for telling a journalist that the feds have been spying on all Americans and many of our allies, but the NSA itself, in a public relations campaign intended to win support for its lawlessness, can reveal secrets and do so with impunity? That question goes to the heart of the rule of law in a free society.

The Surveillance Reforms Obama Supported Before He Was President
This piece first appeared on ProPublica.
When the House of Representatives recently considered an amendment that would have dismantled the NSA’s bulk phone records collection program, the White House swiftly condemned the measure. But only five years ago, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. was part of a group of legislators that supported substantial changes to NSA surveillance programs. Here are some of the proposals the president co-sponsored as a senator.

Lawmakers Issued License Plates That Make Them 'Invisible' To Traffic Cams And Parking Tickets
There are rules for the common people and rules for their "leaders," and only in rare cases do the same rules cover both. Chris Morran at the Consumerist points out how politicians (yet again) are being allowed to ignore the same laws that affect their constituents. Colorado legislators are immune from speeding tickets and parking tickets thanks to the special plates issued to lawmakers -- ones that aren't included in the DMV database.

We’re Just a Few Months Away From A Flip In The Sun’s Magnetic Field And A Shift In Human Behavior
We are currently in the middle of a peak or solar maximum which has brought us more solar flares, CMEs, and geomagnetic storms. Historically, research has been conducted to link the 11 year cycle of the sun to changes in human behavior and society. A big event is about to happen on the sun which may assist in this process–the sun’s vast magnetic field is about to flip in just a few months.

No recovery for the middle class Now 5 years in
The recovery still doesn't feel like one for many American families -- in part because a long middle class decline is still under way.
The recovery is now officially in its fifth year. Sure, the stock market is back. And housing is getting off the floor. But for middle class Americans, the pressure is still on.
This has been an uneven recovery, with the benefits accumulating to the rich and the corporate sector while regular folks have largely been left behind…

How to Help Fast-Food Workers
Doubling the minimum wage may seem like a good way to help fast-food workers, but it would hurt them instead. So what should we do? We must sweep away the government-created barriers to income earning, barriers that protect established businesses from competition and rob the most vulnerable people of options.
Last week, fast-food workers engaged in 24-hour strikes throughout America to bring attention to their struggle to make ends meet. They have been demanding an increase in the… Continue

Organic Eggs? Not If the USDA and FDA Can Help It!
Are the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined to keep chickens penned up, and rob consumers of the right to real free-range organic eggs?
It would seem so. First, the USDA’s National Organics Program refuses to enforce standards set by the National Organic Standards Board requiring organic farmers to allow their hens outdoors. Responding to complaints that organic farmers …

How the Internet Will Spawn Genetically Engineered Super-Oranges
They call it precision agriculture, and it’s a hot topic. Across the country, new-age farmers are hacking their operations with robots, sensors, drones, and good-old circuit boards, hoping to increase both the quality and quantity of their fruits, vegetables, and grains.
But that’s merely a first step. Thanks to the burgeoning field of “cloud-based genomics,” we will further improve our crops by, well, plugging them into the internet.
