Of Patients and Prices
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22693-of-patients-and-prices
A.W. Gaffney, Truthout: Conflicts inevitably arise as doctors enter the med=
ical practice and become unavoidably entangled in the health care business,=
as currently financed. Best care for patients is balanced against the awar=
eness that something might be awry with what prices they are being charged =
by more or less everyone in the industry.

ustry Norm
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22714-how-extreme-levels-of-monsantos-he=
rbicide-roundup-in-food-became-the-industry-norm
Thomas Bohn and Marek Cuhra, Independent Science News: Food and feed qualit=
y are crucial to health. Quality can be defined as sufficiency of appropria=
te minerals, vitamins and fats, but it also includes the absence of toxins,=
whether man-made or from other sources. Surprisingly, almost no data exist=
in scientific literature on herbicide residues from products like Monsanto=
's Roundup in herbicide-tolerant GMO plants, even after nearly 20 years on =
the market.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/22697-beyond-the-minimum-wage-an-interview-w=
ith-jobs-with-justice-executive-director-sarita-gupta
Amy B. Dean, Truthout: How do we use the enthusiasm around raising the mini=

Twelve Simple Propositions: Climate Change and the Asia Pivot
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22673-12-simple-propositions-climate-chan=
ge-and-the-asia-pivot
DH Garrett, Truthout: There are three main components to any strategy for c=
ombating climate change at the mitigation level: radical decarbonization, a=
radical shift to equitable sharing of resources and a radical shift to eco=
nomies that emphasize personal and community well-beings. An East Asia Smar=
t Grid must be implemented as soon as possible.
Hope Dies Last
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/22719-hope-dies-last
The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: Last week on Hartmann's radio pr=
ogram, guest Guy McPherson said we are experiencing such a rapidly warming =
planet that it was difficult for him to imagine a habitat for human beings =

aign-quietly-gets-made-over-still-misses-the-mark?tsk=3Dadminpreview
Lauren Rankin, RH Reality Check: When the Bloomberg administration unveiled=
its teen pregnancy prevention campaign last March, it was met with immedia=
te backlash. Critics decried the campaign for its "shame and blame" tactics=
, and reproductive justice activists like the New York City Coalition for R=
eproductive Justice called for the city=C3=95s Human Resources Administrati=

riety of artistic forms: puppets, balloons, music, memes, posters, banners,=

Art has added vitality and energy to advocacy, and it reaches people at de=

Brendan Fischer, PR Watch: Allegations that prosecutors in the John Doe cam=
