Global Green
Get informed: Global warning myths and facts.

Angie and the rest of the fam left Chi-town yesterday, so hopefully they flew in to keep Papa Pitt company!

New Interview Rob did in Cannes with the Toronto Star
CANNES, France–There are no crystal decanters of blood for Robert Pattinson to sip from, or milky white virgin necks to nibble upon. Pattinson’s treats, arrayed before him on a glass table shaped like a kneeling Greek goddess, aren’t your typical vampire fare: a bowl of potato chips, packages of green apple mint gum and a box of See’s chocolates imported from the U.S. The world’s sexiest undead man eschews all the caloric temptations, apologizing as he nips off to another room for a few drags on a Camel Lights cigarette before commencing this interview.Not Truthful, Just Gore
Not Truthful, Just Gore By Paul Chesser A viral buzz is probably not something you want to have in these days of H1N1 (swine flu) paranoia. But if you're Ann McElhinny and Phelim McAleer this week it's not a malady, but a desired condition. That's because Sunday marks the formal public introduction to their film documentary "Not Evil Just Wrong," which follows their 2006 joint effort "Mine Your Own Business."Who Killed California?
by Troy Senik http://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/who-killed-california My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up. Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.Lessons reporters need to learn from recent fiascos like the Van Jones coverage.
The Sorry State of Journalism Lessons reporters need to learn from recent fiascos like the Van Jones coverage.

But I never graduated from journalism school, a fact that haunted me for years.The risk of a double-dip recession is rising
The risk of a double-dip recession is rising By Nouriel Roubini Published: August 23 2009 18:55 | Last updated: August 23 2009 18:55 T he global economy is starting to bottom out from the worst recession and financial crisis since the Great Depression. In the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 the rate at which most advanced economies were contracting was similar to the gross domestic product free-fall in the early stage of the Depression.

HSBC, one of the biggest banks on the planet, has taken to calling itself "the world's local bank." Starbucks is un-branding at least three of its Seattle outlets, the first of which just reopened as "15th Avenue Coffee and Tea." Winn-Dixie, a 500-outlet supermarket chain, recently launched a new ad campaign under the tagline, "Local flavor since 1956."Are the Deserts Getting Greener?
It has been assumed that global warming would cause an expansion of the world's deserts, but now some scientists are predicting a contrary scenario in which water and life slowly reclaim these arid places.
