Why the Mideast Exploded, Really=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11709-why-the-mideast-exploded-really
Ray McGovern, Consortium News: "Years have come and gone - with still no co=
herent approach and with continued media camouflaging of the bedrock reason=
s as to 'why they hate us.' Among the chief beneficiaries of this woodenhea=
ded approach? One can look at the military-industrial-congressional-media-s=
ecurity complex, especially the war profiteers and their favored politician=
s who stoke fear of the 'evildoers.' All the better to scare you with."
Occupy the Truth: Challenging the Media's Premature Post-Mortem on Occupy=
=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11714-occupy-the-truth-challenging-the-media=
s-premature-post-mortem-on-occupy
Michael I. Niman, Art Voice: "A large plurality of Americans started to lis=
t the disparity between the rich and the poor as one of the nation's most p=
ressing issues. This is a fantastic track record for a one-year-old movemen=
t. And it is very threatening to the entrenched corporate interests who wan=
t us to believe that this movement is over - or better yet, that it never h=
appened."=20
Egypt's New Leader Spells Out Terms for US-Arab Ties=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11710-egypts-new-leader-spells-out-terms-for=
-us-arab-ties
Steven Erlanger and David D. Kirkpatrick, The New York Times News Service: =
"On the eve of his first trip to the United States as Egypt's new Islamist =
president, Mohamed Morsi said the United States needed to fundamentally cha=
nge its approach to the Arab world, showing greater respect for its values =
and helping build a Palestinian state, if it hoped to overcome decades of p=
ent-up anger."
Beyond Guilt: Working in "The System" With Intellectual Responsibility=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11686-beyond-guilt-working-in-the-system-wit=
h-intellectual-responsibility
David Palumbo-Liu, Truthout: "So long as the idea of academic freedom still=
exists (as admittedly tattered and besieged as it is), we have an invaluab=
le opportunity. It is not the right to spew dogma or the party line (as tho=
se on the right accuse us of doing). It is, rather, to ask that not only ou=
r students, but we ourselves think critically about the assumptions we have=
about the world and the ways those assumptions are engrained in us."
Banks Threaten Elderly Veterans With Foreclosure=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11712-banks-threaten-elderly-veterans-with-f=
oreclosure
Viji Sundaram, New America Media: "According to a recent AARP study titled,=
'Nightmare on Main Street: Older Americans and the Mortgage Market Crisis,=
' while the mortgage crisis has hit every age group, Americans who are 75-p=
lus have been disproportionately hurt, especially those in the African-Amer=
ican and Hispanic communities."=20
Where the Candidates Stand on Medicare and Medicaid=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11718-where-the-candidates-stand-on-medicare=
-and-medicaid
Suevon Lee, ProPublica: "Medicare and Medicaid, which provide medical cover=
age for seniors, the poor and the disabled, together make up nearly a quart=
er of all federal spending. With total Medicare spending projected to cost =
$7.7 trillion over the next 10 years, there is consensus that changes are i=
n order. But what those changes should entail has, of course, been one of t=
he hot-button issues of the campaign. With the candidates slinging charges,=
we thought we'd lay out the facts."
Chicago Teachers Strike Ends, But 'Multi-Year Revolution' Begins=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11713-chicago-teachers-strike-ends-but-multi=
-year-revolution%E2%80%99-begins
David Moberg, In These Times: "Education by itself will not significantly r=
educe inequality and poverty, both of which make teaching more difficult, e=
specially in big city schools like Chicago, where more than four-fifths of =
students qualify for free lunches on the basis of low family income. Ultima=
tely, reforming public education must be part of - not a substitute for - a=
broader movement for economic justice."
Haitian Political Prisoner Released, Says Repression Likely to Continue
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11717-haitian-political-prisoner-released-sa=
ys-repression-likely-to-continue
Meena Jagannath, Dissident Voice: "Two weeks ago, a weary looking yet jubil=
ant David Oxyg=C3=A8ne stepped out of the prison building into a throng of =
supporters. The Haitian political activist was released after over two mont=
hs in prison since he was arrested on June 19, 2012, during one of his grou=
p's weekly Port-au-Prince demonstrations in front of the Ministry of Social=
Affairs, calling on the Martelly government for work and better social pol=
icies for Haiti's poor."
An Obituary for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11716-an-obituary-for-san-onofre-nuclear-gen=
erating-station
Gregg Levine, Capitoilette: "And there's the rub. While it is the present r=
eality and the obvious future, the final shuttering of San Onofre has not b=
een made official. Not by its operators, and not yet even by the California=
Public Utilities Commission. Acknowledging the nuclear plant's demise woul=
d trigger a review process that would result in rate reductions for Edison =
and SDG&E customers."=20
New York Prisoner Gets Five Years in Solitary for Cell Phone Smuggled in by=
Guard=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11715-new-york-prisoner-gets-five-years-in-s=
olitary-for-cell-phone-smuggled-in-by-guard
Jean Casella and James Ridgeway, Truthout: "The appeals court 'had an oppor=
tunity to remit the case for reconsideration of the penalty, and its failur=
e to do so suggests that legislative limitations on New York's ability to i=
mpose sentences of solitary confinement are required to end its excessive a=
nd inhumane overuse in our State's prisons.'"

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Suevon Lee, ProPublica:</strong> "Medicare and Medicaid, which provide medical coverage for seniors, the poor and the disabled, together make up nearly a quarter of all federal spending. With total Medicare spending projected to cost $7.7 trillion over the next 10 years, there is consensus that changes are in order. But what those changes should entail has, of course, been one of the hot-button issues of the campaign. With the candidates slinging charges, we thought we'd lay out the facts."</p>

Not by its operators, and not yet even by the California Public Utilities Commission. Acknowledging the nuclear plant's demise would trigger a review process that would result in rate reductions for Edison and SDG&E customers."</p>
