Rare Abalone One Step Closer to Endangered Species Act Protection
ANCHORAGE, Alaska— In response to scientific petitions filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Center for Biological Diversity in summer 2013, the federal government announced Friday that pinto abalone may need protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Tuition Fee Rollback
The passing of Proposition 30 is supposed to provide more money for education in California. Tuition fee rollbacks in the CSU system meant that students should have gotten money back for the tuition fees they paid for their Fall term. Those students who receive assistance through Cal Grants, however, did not receive any of the refund, even if they paid a portion of their tuition fees out of pocket....

Organic Doesn't Mean Radiation Free
Organic in it's strictest sense only means that there haven't been any 'banned' inputs to a selected environment in the 3 years prior to certification. “There are no specific requirements or guidance on seaweeds in the FDA standards.

Appropriate Incentives For Parks
Private Concession Operated Parks pay a penny on the dollar for ALL CARD FEES, the campsite reservation, purchases in onsite stores, food, fuel, bait, anything that is sold and a credit card is used - but particularly the campsite fees. And the State of California can’t figure out how to take the tickets and collect the fees. (Reservation and cancellation fees would supply millions of dollars annually to fund local non-profits working to keep parks open)....

The corrupt private contractors claimed the authority to break the law, and establish their own rules recarding coverage of their public meetings. They later changed their illegal "rules," after universal public outrage over the arrest....
