http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/21069-usda-moves-to-approve-agent-orange-gmo-seeds
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Dow's corn and soy seeds with the brand name Enlist are genetically engineered to be resistant to several herbicides. But critics and researchers say fighting weeds with tougher chemicals is not a sustainable solution to the challenges of modern agriculture.

Fakethrough! GMOs and the Capitulation of Science Journalism
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/21103-fakethrough-gmos-and-the-capitulation-of-science-journalism
Jonathan Latham, Independent Science News: While the media in general has taken much criticism recently for trivializing news and other flaws, the science media somehow has escaped serious attention. This is unfortunate because no country in the world has a healthy science media.

Paul Krugman | In Economics, Old Is New Again
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/21080-in-economics-old-is-new-again
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: Many prestigious economists were all too eager to turn their backs on standard macroeconomics, even when it was working very well, because of their political leanings. We don't seem to need different economics as much as we need different economists.
Solving the Climate Crisis
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/21048-solving-the-climate-crisis
Peter G. Cohen, Truthout: Creating a Livable Climate Agency may be one way to arrest and reverse US emissions and their catastrophic impact on global climate.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/21109-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-our-cars-and-hamburgers-are-even-more-toxic-than-we-thought-and-more

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/21104-senior-gambling-addiction-rates-are-soaring-in-america-driven-by-corporate-greed-and-bad-govt-policy
Lynn Parramore, AlterNet: Seniors are the fastest-growing population of gamblers. It's a no-win game, driven by a greedy industry united in unholy alliance with policy makers and politicians who turn a blind eye to the social and economic costs of gambling.
