"Socially Responsible" Capitalism Still Feeds the Disease
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/26221-socially-responsible-capitalism-still-feeds-the-disease
Toshio Meronek, Truthout: Capitalism with a conscience? That's the idea behind so-called "socially responsible" investments - buying stocks in companies that are screened against an ethical criterion. But even these socially responsible investment companies invest heavily in the stock of tech corporations, which have poor human rights records.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/26226-scotland-is-seeking-independence-from-the-political-establishment
Ronan Burtenshaw, Truthout: Thursday's referendum on Scottish independence is less about nationalism than about the desire of those disenfranchised by neoliberalism to enjoy some measure of self-determination.
Koch Foundation Proposal to College: Teach Our Curriculum, Get Millions
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/26225-koch-foundation-proposal-to-college-teach-our-curriculum-get-millions
Dave Levinthal, Center for Public Integrity: In 2007, when the Charles Koch Foundation considered giving millions to Florida State University's economics department, the offer came with strings attached.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/26224-is-new-jersey-fudging-its-pension-fund-results-to-defuse-a-christie-scandal
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: You cannot make stuff like this up: New Jersey, in its attempt to diffuse a pension fund scandal that implicates Gov. Chris Christie, looks to have committed the classic crisis management blunder of a cover-up worse than the original crime.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/26219-the-university-of-illinois-fails-on-due-process-academic-freedom-and-free-speech-why-the-salaita-case-matters
David Palumbo-Liu, Truthout: The University of Illinois Board of Trustees' recent decision not to reinstate Steven Salaita to the faculty at its Urbana-Champaign campus may not be surprising, but it is a scandal. The facts of the case suggest their explanations are wholly specious.
Has Kansas Found the Cure for the Reaganomics Disease?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/26246-has-kansas-found-the-cure-for-the-reaganomics-disease
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: The people of Kansas, including Republicans, are realizing that Reaganomics isn't the answer to the United States' economic problems.

On the News With Thom Hartmann: It May Take a Disaster for the US to Switch to Green Energy, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/26240-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-it-may-take-a-disaster-for-the-us-to-switch-to-green-energy-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Apparently, it's going to take a disaster in our nation to get the United States to make the switch to green energy; the "Western" diet is making people fat and sick all around the world, and processed foods are the most likely reason for that problem; workers at an Ohio coal waste landfill were told that coal ash was "safe enough to eat"; and more.
