This School Is Not a Pipe
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21690-this-school-is-not-a-pipe

Privacy Activists' Nuclear Option: Suing Oakland Over Spy Center's Nuclear Weapons Contractors
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21705-privacy-activists-nuclear-option-group-prepares-to-sue-oakland-over-spy-centers-nuclear-weapons-contractors

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21728-weak-job-growth-but-declining-unemployment-give-mixed-picture-in-january
Dean Baker, Center for Economic and Policy Research: The establishment survey showed the economy created just 113,000 jobs in January. Coupled with the 75,000 increase reported for December, this is the weakest two-month stretch since December, 2010 to January 2011.
The Historical Jesus Was Crucified for Being a Revolutionary
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/21679-the-historical-jesus-was-crucified-for-being-a-revolutionary
Reza Aslan, Random House: The portrait of Jesus that emerges from Reza Aslan's "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" - a zealous revolutionary swept up, as all Jews of the era were, in the religious and political turmoil of first-century Palestine - bears little resemblance to the image of the gentle shepherd cultivated by the early Christian community.
Chaos in the Competition Zone: Olympic Excess From Lake Placid to Sochi
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21712-chaos-in-the-competition-zone-olympic-excess-from-lake-placid-to-sochi
Greg Guma, Maverick Media: Sochi is not the first Olympic community to be shortchanged, disrupted, and abused. Take the 1980 Winter Games, which happened shortly after the US and USSR began their face off in Afghanistan. The Lake Placid Games could easily have become a $150 million disaster movie.
A Thousand New Radio Stations: Whose Will They Be?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21695-one-thousand-new-radio-stations-whose-will-they-be
Tracy Rosenberg, Truthout: Will the historic low-power radio filing of October 2013 result in an infusion of media diversity, or will its results fall short of the ambitious goals of the low-power radio movement?

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21716-federal-lawsuit-filed-against-fec-seeks-to-shed-light-on-karl-roves-dark-money-donors
Ernest A. Canning, The Brad Blog: After a recent three-to-three decision by a partisan-deadlocked Federal Elections Commission, Karl Rove may have thought he was off the hook for federal campaign finance violations by his Crossroads GPS organization. Two nonprofit, good government groups, however, feel differently.
The Rise of "Insourcing" Gives Internet Companies a New Way To Exploit Workers
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21719-the-rise-of-insourcing-gives-internet-companies-a-new-way-to-exploit-workers
Lydia Bowers, Next New Deal: There is a new, fast-growing class of low-wage workers who would not see the benefit of a raise in the minimum wage. These new "insourced" workers are individuals who contract with large Internet-based companies like Uber and Taskrabbit to perform services here in the United States.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21724-2014-winter-olympics-under-cloud-of-anti-lgbtq-violence
Jaisal Noor, The Real News Network: The 2014 Olympic Games are underway in Sochi, Russia. But a hot topic for these games has nothing to do with sports. Human Rights Watch released a video showing brutal harassment of gay Russian men ranging from public humiliation to physical violence.
