Text of the page (random words):
students years later when i traveled to the pine ridge reservation in south dakota i felt that there were strong similarities between it and many places in oaxaca they were both poverty stricken areas that few outsiders came to and even fewer cared much about this young team makes news every time they play mostly for their lack of shoes but what people don t understand is that their lack of shoes are the least of their worries so many where they come from are desperately poor with food shelter and personal safety at the top of their daily wants needs list and going without shoes much lower on it native or indigenous mexicans are at a poverty level of about 80 compared to the national level in the upper 20 s many of these young players must walk two hours or more on rough mountain roads just to get to their practices and basketball is about the only sport that can be played in such a difficult terrain for me personally the hardest part of relaying this story to all of you is in knowing that the country where these brave young players live is in constant turmoil from outside political pressures a friend from school traveled down there years ago quite concerned about the way the people were being treated and was never seen again accidents can happen to those who ask too many questions or get too curious about local politics just playing their games must seem like great relief after enduring the conditions that surround them whenever the team travels they basically have become ambassadors for their people and the state of oaxaca and global generosity to them and their town have followed them everywhere their head coach sergio zuniga was interviewed by wesh and his pride in their achievements was clearly evident as he spoke this week in orlando not only was the team gifted with shoes so was their entire town yes back home things are very difficult but as their team jackets say vivir es increible life is incredible places to learn more mexican youth

radium girls 07 jul marie and pierre curie experimenting with radium a drawing by andré castaigne this drawing is said to be considered public domain a good friend on facebook alerted me to this vital information this morning and because it has been an important part of my past i felt compelled to share it here this ugly story is about yet another way that humans have caused mortal harm often with little concern to their fellow humans years ago we had native friends in the east who had developed severe physical afflictions from growing up in arizona during the time when uranium mining was being done with little regard to the effect it would have on humans primarily the native people who lived near the mining areas there this was not the only instance of us mining processes harming native people there were many others all just as deadly from the information gleaned from my searches this morning it seems that we have a lengthy history in this country of deliberate neglect and willful intent to harm others on a regular basis and shamefully for profit this is the story of the women most of who worked in the eastern united states new jersey to be exact in factories making products often for the us government that would in a very short time and after great suffering on their part end their lives they without their consent or knowledge were being poisoned by radiation from radium at this time in our early us history many people freely used or worked with and handled this what is now known to be deadly substance even marie curie the renowned polish scientist who won two nobel prizes one in chemistry and one in physics was not exempt from their lethal effects she was not only the first woman to win one but she was also the only woman to win two after a lifetime of one brilliant accomplishment after another sadly her work with this very dangerous substance radium would eventually cause her death her development of aplastic anemia was said to be linked to her bad habit of carrying toxic radioactive isotope test tubes in her lab coat pockets tragically madame curie like the other radium girls would in the end succumb to the very evil that she had helped to discover places to learn more radium girls remembered for role in shaping us labor law marie curie uranium mining in arizona mae keane one of the last radium girls dies at 107 medicine radium women

tentacles 05 jul giraffe cave art at the namibrand nature reserve picture credit namibnat at first glance this morning this news appeared to be a positive move made by someone who had their heart and their power in the right place and was a cause for tremendous joy but then after reading further and seeking secondary and other stories for reference it seems that all is not as it appears paul allen the billionaire philanthropist who is seemingly strongly supportive of protecting endangered wildlife has several not so nice personal blemishes that must also be considered before we proceed to give him his best global humanitarian award mr allen has introduced a measure to get on the fall ballots in washington state that will put a hurting on those who use the world s most at risk wildlife to make a dirty income the measure called inititive 1401 has already reached thanks to all of his volunteers in the field the necessary number to get on to the ballot in november this is a great thing what i am having trouble with is the dark side of his company vulcan and his sister jody who was the ceo and has just stepped down after some very ugly issues about wildlife poaching and sexual harassment were brought to light by accusers who work for allen s company i will not go fully into these things as they are well presented in the links below what i am interested in pointing out here is this when very rich very powerful people make the news and receive gushing accolades without the public or the press doing more than just a little background digging into the facts bad things can happen in this case allen who has passionately promoted this initiative in washington to save and protect wildlife seems awesome but something here is not right and it all smells just a little rank when you learn that he has regularly taken african safaris and owns tourist lodges in botswana now add to this the fact that his company vulcan formerly run by his sister has been taken to court and accused of smuggling poaching and more all too often people like allen and his sister are unlike you and me frequently kept safely in a cocoon so that the scandals or dirt runs off of them and does not stain their pristine public images my concern and primary reason for writing about this today is that it would be so much easier to believe allen and all the others who claim to be truly concerned about the welfare of endangered wildlife if there was not so damn much money involved in all of this if as you do so passionately profess mr allen you truly do wish to protect endangered african wildlife may i suggest that you dispose of your african tourist lodges and suspend your safari trips it would be wonderful to see those with so much wealth using it to personally educate and enlighten the rest of the world to what is happening to the precious few wild animals that we have left before they are all gone we absolutely must take this message out to the schools to the young who will become our next generation of protectors sadly access to excessive money can turn even the best people s heads the wrong way and there is just too much at stake here the treacherous arms of global smugglers and wildlife traffickers can have very long tentacles some are even said to be attached to global mobsters that just may reach into even safe corners including those of the well protected

cheerleaders picture credit norwalk james seeing a story on our news this morning about some pretty cheerleaders who both love and excel at science made me smile but it also brought back some not so pleasant childhood memories this cheerleading group has a website called science cheerleaders with all of the details of their individual stories and shows what they are doing both on and off of the football field besides being involved in science at school and in their jobs this group also makes public appearances in their communities showing other girls that they can do the exact same thing that they do they are beautiful and they are very smart and this is a positive thing as a child and then again as a teenager i and many others who had the good fortune or misfortune of being born
