John Cusack Interviews Law Professor Jonathan Turley About Obama Administra=
tion's War On the Constitution
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11264-john-cusack-and-jonathan-turley-on-=
obamas-constitution
John Cusack, Truthout: "Instead of scrutiny, the usual arguments in favor o=
f another Obama presidency are made: We must stop fanatics; it would be bet=
ter than the fanatics - he's the last line of defense from the corporate ba=
rbarians-and of course the Supreme Court=E2=80=A6 But yet...... there are c=
ertain Rubicon lines, as constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley calls=
them, that Obama has crossed."
Fairer Sex=20
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11270-fairer-sex
Sarah Leonard, Jacobian: "With no sense of what feminism is, these writers =
turn to personal experience. With each step and gesture, they wonder what t=
hey're contributing to feminism. Is navel-gazing feminist? Let us borrow a =
definition from bell hooks: feminism is the struggle to end sexist oppressi=
on. It cannot be about this or that group of women's ability to have career=
s or about individual moments of empowerment while doing laundry."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Romney Overshadowed by an Empty Chair Durin=
g End of RNC, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11274-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-romney-=
overshadowed-by-an-empty-chair-during-end-of-rnc-and-more
Thom Hartmann, The Thom Hartmann Program: In today's On the News segment: T=
he RNC wrapped up this week, but Mitt Romney was overshadowed by Clint East=
wood talking to an empty chair for ten minutes; austerity in Europe gets wo=
rse and worse with each passing day; on Thursday, a federal court struck do=
wn a repressive voter ID law in Texas; and more.
Not On Our Land: Land Recovery Kicks Off in Honduras=20
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11272-not-on-our-land-land-recovery-kicks=
-off-in-honduras
Carla Garcia, Lauren Elliott and Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: "In what many =
indigenous people call a 'second coming of Columbus,' globalization and its=
twin offspring of resource exploitation and mega development threaten the =
survival of indigenous and small-farming communities all over our world. Bu=
t as widespread as the threat is the response by organized peoples. The str=
ategies for stopping the destruction of their land, claiming their rights t=
o it, and protecting their way of life are diverse - land occupations, prot=
ests, and legal claims."
South Carolina Voter ID Law Takes Hits in Court
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11275-south-carolina-voter-id-law-takes-hits=
-in-court
James Rosen and Rebecca Cohen, McClatchy Newspapers: "In a case that, under=
the Voting Rights Act, hinges partly on whether the voter ID law was motiv=
ated by discriminatory intent, the law's chief architect, state Rep. Alan C=
lemmons, was compelled to admit he'd responded sympathetically to a racist =
email sent to him about the measure as he was crafting it."
Disaster Capitalism in New Orleans and Haiti
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11276-disaster-capitalism-in-new-orleans-and=
-haiti
Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: "The catastrophes stripped naked the trappings =
of difference between the richest and poorest countries in the hemisphere. =
New Orleans and Haiti are two predominantly Black, low-income areas where t=
he ongoing devastation has been only partly about nature. It has also been =
about inequitable distribution of power and wealth, and the race- and class=
-biased policies that have left certain groups highly vulnerable."
About Face: Military Resisters Turn Against War
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11277-about-face-military-resisters-turn-aga=
inst-war
David Swanson, WarIsACrime.org: "'About Face: Military Resisters Turn Again=
st War,' is a book that should be stacked up on a table in every high schoo=
l cafeteria, next to the vultures. Sorry, I mean the war pushers. Sorry, I=
mean the good recruiters for the services of the profiteers of death. Sorr=
y, you know the people I mean. That is, unless useful books can make it in=
to classrooms, which would be even better."=20
Republicans On the Ground Keeping Ryan's Budget Plan at Arm's Length
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11280-republicans-on-the-ground-keeping-ryan=
s-budget-plan-at-arms-length
Jonathan Weisman, The New York Times News Service: "Even as Mitt Romney and=
Representative Paul D. Ryan exhort Republicans to embrace their proposed M=
edicare changes and spending cuts, the party's rank and file is growing les=
s enthusiastic about the fight than the top of the ticket. Republican lawma=
kers and candidates are distancing themselves from the Ryan budget plan, wh=
ich helped make the proposed changes a national issue."=20
Brooklyn's Self-Powered Solar Building: A Game-Changer for Green Constructi=
on?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11281-brooklyns-self-powered-solar-building-=
a-game-changer-for-green-construction
Jonathan Weisman, The New York Times News Service: "New York City's triangu=
lar-shaped buildings are notorious for being problematic sites for solar pa=
nels. Starting this fall, one five-story Brooklyn complex will defy that no=
tion-by generating more solar power than it uses and becoming one of the ci=
ty's greenest structures. The building, the $700,000 Delta project, straddl=
es the corner of Hamilton Avenue and 9th Street in the Carroll Gardens neig=
hborhood=E2=80=A6 It is expected to influence carbon-neutral and net-zero e=
nergy construction in dense urban environments nationwide."

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>David Swanson, WarIsACrime.org:</strong> "'About Face: Military Resisters Turn Against War,' is a book that should be stacked up on a table in every high school cafeteria, next to the vultures. Sorry, I mean the war pushers. Sorry, I mean the good recruiters for the services of the profiteers of death. Sorry, you know the people I mean. That is, unless useful books can make it into classrooms, which would be even better." </p>

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Jonathan Weisman, The New York Times News Service:</strong> "Even as Mitt Romney and Representative Paul D. Ryan exhort Republicans to embrace their proposed Medicare changes and spending cuts, the party's rank and file is growing less enthusiastic about the fight than the top of the ticket. Republican lawmakers and candidates are distancing themselves from the Ryan budget plan, which helped make the proposed changes a national issue." </p>

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Jonathan Weisman, The New York Times News Service:</strong> "New York City's triangular-shaped buildings are notorious for being problematic sites for solar panels. Starting this fall, one five-story Brooklyn complex will defy that notion-by generating more solar power than it uses and becoming one of the city's greenest structures. The building, the $700,000 Delta project, straddles the corner of Hamilton Avenue and 9th Street in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood… It is expected to influence carbon-neutral and net-zero energy construction in dense urban environments nationwide."</p>
