Why I Choose Optimism Over Despair: An Interview With Noam Chomsky
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/34369-why-i-choose-optimism-=
over-despair-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky=20
C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout: In this exclusive interview, scholar and lingu=
ist Noam Chomsky discusses the subject of his latest book "What Kind of Cre=
atures Are We?", his scientific explorations of language and the human mind=
, and why humans have a clear choice in choosing optimism over despair.
Critics Say Proposed Sulfide Mine in Minnesota Threatens State's Watersheds
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34819-critics-say-proposed-sulfide-mine-=
in-minnesota-threatens-state-s-watersheds=20
Dylan Blaskey and Sarah Blaskey, Truthout: As the profitability of Minnesot=
a iron declines, the state is looking to sulfide mining as a potential inve=
stment. Thousands of critics, however, have voiced concerns about the possi=
ble environmental impact of the proposed mines, including the danger of tox=
ic contaminants leaching into waterways.
Why Wall Street Won Round One and We Might Win the Next
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34823-why-wall-street-won-round-one-a=
nd-we-might-win-the-next=20
Walden Bello, teleSUR: The question then is not if another financial bubble=
will burst, but when. To avoid further crises with huge tragic social cost=
s, we have an urgent task to bring finance back under democratic control, t=
o reconfigure society's relation to finance capital, indeed, to capital its=
elf.
"Insidious, Invisible" Impacts on Baby Health: Toxic Exposure and Preterm B=
irths
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34824-insidious-invisible-impacts-on-bab=
y-health-exposure-to-toxics-and-preterm-births=20
Lynne Peeples, Environmental Health News: Particulate matter, lead and othe=
r pollutants - especially in combination, as they're typically encountered =
- may play a role in the approximately 15 million babies born preterm every=
year around the world.
Humans May Have Inadvertently Helped Spread a Bee Killing Virus
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34825-humans-may-have-inadvertantly-help=
ed-spread-a-bee-killing-virus=20
Steve Williams, Care2: Scientists have known for some time that a combinati=
on of factors is likely responsible for the dramatic honeybee die-offs witn=
essed in recent years. Now, researchers believe that one such factor could =
be a virus that we humans have inadvertently help spread.
People Are Happier in States That Allow Ballot Initiatives
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34826-people-are-happier-in-states-that-=
allow-ballot-initiatives=20
Benjamin Radcliff and Michael Krassa, The Conversation: Twenty-four states =
allow citizens to vote directly on policy matters, and a recent analysis sh=
ows that life satisfaction is higher in these states. Although ballot initi=
atives are not flawless, research shows that direct democracy might improve=
happiness.
Healthy Ground, Healthy Atmosphere: Recarbonizing the Earth's Soils
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34822-healthy-ground-healthy-atmosphere-=
recarbonizing-the-earth-s-soils=20
Nancy Averett, Environmental Health Perspectives: Soil scientists and clima=
te researchers believe that returning carbon to the soil on a large scale c=
ould help mitigate climate change. However, they also warn that such a solu=
tion is finite and should not prevent us from reducing fossil fuel emission=
s.
Time Spent in Guant=C3=A1namo Is Time No One Gets Back - Whether Soldier or=
Prisoner
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34828-time-spent-in-guantanamo-is-tim=
e-no-one-gets-back-whether-soldier-or-prisoner=20
Frida Berrigan, Waging Nonviolence: Military families know the pain of bein=
g away from their loved ones and the joy of returning. The innocent men rel=
eased from Guant=C3=A1namo only know the former. Time is something we can't=
get back; when it's gone, it's gone. It is time to close Guant=C3=A1namo.
Natural Gas Becomes a Fracking Mess
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34827-natural-gas-becomes-a-fracking-=
mess=20
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Just as the Gulf Coast disaster invigorat=
ed opposition to offshore oil drilling, the Porter Ranch debacle may sap th=
e natural gas industry's popularity. Above all, it's exposing the fuel's pe=
rsistent reputation as "clean" and climate-friendly as a complete lie.
This week in Speakout: Dr. James J. Zogby looks at the silencing of Israel'=
s critics; Sandy Perry highlights how, in Michigan, petitioning against the=
government lands you a prison sentence; Shamus Cooke argues that the labor=

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Frida Berrigan, Waging Nonviolence:</strong> Military families know the pain of being away from their loved ones and the joy of returning.

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords:</strong> Just as the Gulf Coast disaster invigorated opposition to offshore oil drilling, the Porter Ranch debacle may sap the natural gas industry's popularity.
