Why Kill-Free Meat Will Rock Your World
Call it KindMeat, Kill-Free meat or lab steak. The reality is that in-vitro meat, essentially growing laboratory meat from the stem cells of an animal without having to kill said animal, will usher in a new era. This is meat produced in a cell culture, rather than from an animal.
Once perfected, this technology, conceivably, could create a market of healthier, perfectly engineered meat, pumped full of healthy Omega 3′s and with many of the problems associated with meat-eating being essentially removed.

Wadi Abou Jamil: Stories About the Jews of Beirut
Riveting is an understatement.
The beautifully recounted stories about Beirut’s Jews are enlightening, but beg for details about community members who decided to leave their Lebanese homes and lives, mostly unannounced, without having been persecuted, tortured, or killed as in the Holocaust.

Book Publishers. Stop Scaring Me.
I attended I’Reilly’s Tools of Change in Publishing conference last year. Since the 2010 event is right around the corner (Feb 22-24), I thought I’d dust off and update this post from my own blog, written after the 2009 conference.
I wrote it after coming home in shock. What I heard at the 2009 event was almost exactly what I heard at music business conferences circa 1999. I was looking around like, hey you people!! Doesn’t anyone else notice this?? We all know how this story ends!! Tools of Change, indeed. I guess it depends on how you define “tools.” Tools! You’re about to go down the same road as the pony-tailed ones you look down your noses at.

It’s Not Too Late to Sign the Demand Question Time Petition
President Obama’s 86-minute exchange with House Republicans was one of the best things to happen to American democracy in a long time. I was delighted that President Obama gave a terrific accounting of himself on health care, but that’s not the point. Republicans had a legitimate chance to confront the President with hard questions, and the occasion discouraged know-nothing partisanship and evasion on either side.
Both sides will want, and deserve, an opportunity for adult conversation beyond the level of sound bites and unmediated by unhelpful reporters who mostly detract from the substance of such events.

Earth and the Balance of Powers: What the Citizens United Ruling Means for the Environment
During the past decade, all three branches of American government — Judicial, Legislative and Executive — have acted to expand the influence of corporations in elections. The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission further tips the balance of power away from the individual voter, perhaps with significant impact on our democracy. Furthermore, this decision may portend doom for environmental protection if corporate influence expands and short-term profit takes even greater precedence over long-term environmental health.

Billy Kennedy Will Be Declaring His Candidacy For Virginia Foxx’s Seat On Monday
We all have little victories in our daily lives that bring us the joys that makes it all worth it. I had one yesterday when a board I’m on took my advise and decided to move their annual meeting from Inside-the-Beltway, where they are based, to… America. I couched my suggestion in a discussion of the relative merits of the weather. “Here it’s gorgeous, sunny, warm, fresh. There it’s snowing, freezing, slushy, hideous, windy… the air travel system is screwed up… everyone is sick and contagious.” Most everyone agreed, although I had the idea that one or two are afraid to venture outside the Bubble. And… I never did get into the most fundamental reason for why I begged the meeting be not in DC. A friend of mine put it well in the context of how the conservative forces are able to get their way on most anything regardless of what political party dominates which branches of government. He used to work in the belly of the beast and was horrified when he first discovered that many members of Congress, even politically progressive ones, are desperate to be embraced, accepted and welcomed into the ruling class, how much they want to be part of that circle, at least socially and emotionally. “It’s something much deeper than just a campaign contribution. It’s them feeling as if they are equals and on the same side of the power structure.”

Defending Koss And Their Auditors: Just Loopy Distorted Feedback
