By WSJ
Friday, January 27, 2012

scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions
on global warming are needed.......... more

address in which he vowed not to “walk away

Signs Global Internet Treaty Worse Than SOPA
By Paul Joseph Watson
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Months before the debate about Internet
censorship raged as SOPA and PIPA dominated the concerns of
web users, President Obama signed an international treaty that

whatsoever. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement was signed
by Obama on October 1 2011, yet is currently the subject of

an often-ignored provision of the state constitution
that blocks schools from charging fees for public
education, a judge ruled this week. The American
Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit in September
2010, and the state tried to argue that local school
districts were the ones responsible for upholding
the law — not the state. The ACLU filed the
suit after the group did a survey that found $550
band fees at Carlsbad High School, $1,097 cheer
fees at Clairemont High and $395 color-guard fees
at Patrick Henry High School...............more

Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) said later Thursday
that the bill will "probably not" make
it out of the Legislature by a deadline next week.
The proposed legislation is a vehicle "to raise
the visibility of the issue," Steinberg said.
"I don't think that there is any reasonable
prospect that in the short term ...........more
