Problems and Solutions aint a big deal, data not lies. Quality science, not washed-up politico hacks. Ecologists, not contractual whores. And for GODS sake not the A.Gore. As for me, i live by the Cause and Effects model. Easy to apply to most...most problems.

What is the point of seeding articles with "xxx", "zzz"?
Is that a code?
Since there are several a day, is the a list of:
what you think is important for others to know or
items you've read or

Hello GreenPagan:
This is an invitation to join the newest Newsvine Group: Successful Solutions. You can find it here: http://successfulsolutions.newsvine.com/
I came to Newsvine in February and have really enjoyed the interactive nature of Newsvine. But, like most news sites, I find one thing missing. And because Newsvine is so interactive, finally I can do something about it.
So often when it comes to the news, we discuss the problems of this world. That is good – to a degree. If we don't know what the problems are, we'll never get around to finding the solutions.
But, all over the world people are doing the work of solving problems related to the environment, poverty, health-care, peace/war, etc… If we take the time to learn about the concrete and successful solutions developed and used all over the world, then we learn. We move from debating the problems to discussing and debating the best solutions.
Please visit the Successful Solutions Newsgroup. You will find it here: http://successfulsolutions.newsvine.com/
The Successful Solutions Newsgroup focuses on solving the problems our world faces. Please consider joining this group and posting articles that address concrete solutions in areas such as the environment, green technology, health-care, housing, poverty, peace/war, etc…
The articles should focus on positive, hands-on and tested solutions that can be replicated. In the end – the purpose of this newsgroup is to serve as clearing house and learning center for those who wish to actively engage in the work of solving the problems of our world.
Once you've visited this group, if you'd like to join just click the green JOIN GROUP button.
Thank you for considering the Successful Solutions Group.
In Peace:

CJ Roberts probably suffered a TIA causing him to fall. And how many knew this was his second "mini-stroke"? Were his health issues disclosed during or before his hearings? Or did he lie about that too? He should be impeached.
The Court will be expanded to 15 before too long anyway, but a few thunderbolts thrown their way in the meantime couldn't hurt.

From the GOP Corruption Cult files
Ted Stevens --one of the most corrupt sour old codgers in the US Senate --has finally come under investigation for being a filthy old oil-whore.
Weeping Randy Cunningham? Make room in the cell-block! You and Stevens and a few other Repooplickers can do the horizontal hula for all those very grateful angry gangstas at their beck and call…!

CAN'T WE vote them all off the island? After a seemingly endless lead-up, the Republican game of Survivor to see who will be the party's presidential nominee looks like it will come to a quick conclusion with Mitt Romney as the winner.
