New data spark new views of flame retardants - PBDEs - mimic thyroid hormones - polybrominated diphenyl ethers
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060530.ENVIRO30/TPStory/Environment

Annoying thing is that flame retardents are only used because smokers set fire to things because the cigarette co's insist on putting too much potash in the cig so it burns quicker and doesn't go out if left on the ashtray. And that is what makes them so effective at lighting sofas and beds.
Nonsmokers don't set their beds and sofas on fire.
So if PBDE's really are a problem, we can count it as another yet another harmful effect of smoking.

DC9 WITH 5.5 TONS OF COCAINE WAS CIA PLANE
http://www.indybay.org/news/2006/05/1825408.php
read the whole story
http://www.madcowprod.com/05252006.html

you know there is real strong speculation that Arabic or muslims that
were allowed to leave within days after Sept 11th were being trained
(in this case by the FBI) as pilots of narcotic runs out of Taliban
Afghanistan possible to be used to destablize China or some other big
geopolitical event. That is another theory as to the Arab pilot
connection to the Sept 11th. I have to wonder if there is another
connection here. That drug running was funding another covert
operation that has connections to all the shit that is happening. In
the cocaine CIA situation I would say "follow the trail" or "keep you
nose on this story" but then it would sound like bad puns.

AVON DOES NOT USE ANIMALS FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH!

The mission of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, which was launched in 1992, is to raise funds and awareness for access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved.

Funds raised by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade are awarded to five areas of the breast cancer cause: screening, diagnosis, treatment, support services and scientific research, including prevention and therapeutic vaccine studies. Beneficiaries range from leading cancer centers to community-based non-profit breast health programs. Among the beneficiaries funded by the Avon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, are more than 200 investigators at ten leading academic research centers nationwide, more than 600 community-based breast health programs, plus education and advocacy training programs. More than half of the funded scientific investigators are women and minorities.

The Avon-funded researchers are seeking the possible cause, prevention, treatment and cure for breast cancer, focusing on a broad array of targets. No Avon funds are directly awarded to breast cancer research involving animals. Our guidelines apply only to studies funded by the Avon Foundation, and do not impact other research underway at these same institutions or by these same researchers. Much progressive research is undertaken at a cellular level, with human tissue, or through other research modalities that do not require the use of animals, and these are the studies to which we direct our funds. We are confident that this policy does not impede the scientific progress to eradicate breast cancer.

In 1989, Avon Products Inc. became the first major cosmetics company to end the use of animal testing for products and we continue to support the development of alternative testing methods. Establishing a similar policy for research funded by the Avon Foundation was a natural extension of this commitment.

I wanted to send a warning out too...

I got my *brand new* laptop fully heisted right out from under my
nose. Literally, i was chillin witha good friend in the back corner of
a hallway/cafe, and aside from him, the only other human in the
vicinity was a kind girl sitting at the table next to us.

I had my laptop sitting on my luggage, charginge against the wall.
After 15 minutes i got up to leave, and that sleak answer to all my
problems was absolutely GONE. The manager there says it happens a lot,
and a friend of my mother recently had her's gaffled from a coffee
shop in SF> I cannot express how unbelievably inconvienient it is to
loose all this work and time, and unreleased music...so i wanted to
toss out that wake-up call.
i'd heard some stories before, but always thought i'd never be stupid
enough to leave my laptop unattneded. But these cats are GOOD. i never
saw him come in, and the girl next to us said he was dressed in a biz
suit and only there for 30 seconds, and she didnt see him touch the
laptop, but ...he did.

rally before beginning the March at 4:00 p.m. (Route details below).

Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance has sent 400 posters,
Gary Franchi plans on turning 200 of them into picket signs. We have a
sound system, chant sheets, whistles, lots of Deception Dollars, and
handouts for the good people and press of Chicago. We hope that the
local peace and justice groups will join us and support the efforts to
stop the cover-up, expose the lies about 9/11 which have been used to
launch illegal wars, attack our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and sell
Homeland Security, an endless bogus war on terrorism. Any
"Impeachment," or "Don't Believe the Corporate Lies" signs would fit
in well with the theme of our march and conference which is to
challenge the official myths that support the War Paradigm and to
promote the truths and policies which support People and Peace. Bring
the kids, babies, musical instruments, your own message, songs, sense
of humor, courage, outrage, energy to let Chicago, the world know that
we aren't going to let the press, corporations, and government get
away with the lies and their dark agenda. We demand and will create a
better world for all.

Rally at Daley Plaza 3:30 p.m. and then walk north up Dearborn
to Randolph heading east, to State St. continuing north, stopping at
the ABC news new street studios located across the street from the
Chicago Theatre (

on to NBC / Chicago Tribune / WGN Plaza, just north of the Chicago
River. We will stop at each studio and stand in front of their
windows, holding our signs and raising awareness. It is very important
to stay on the side walk and not block any exits or entrances to the
buildings in the area. We will let the media know who we are and what
we stand for. ROUTE MAP:

# "The Coming Media Monopoly: Concentration of Press Ownership and Its Effects on Democracy"
A panel discussion presented by the Society of Professional Journalists and Media Alliance

---
Date: Thursday, June 1, at 7 p.m. - Reception at 6:30 p.m., refreshments and wine
Location: San Francisco LGBT Community Center, 1800 Market St. at Octavia, SF NorthWest Corner
IN SF most Even addresses are on the NORTH or WEST side of the street YO!
Admission: $5 (FREE for members of SPJ and Media Alliance)
---

The last year has seen dramatic shifts in Bay Area media ownership.

MediaNews, the new owner of the San Jose Mercury News and Contra Costa Times, will soon control nearly two-thirds of local daily newspaper circulation; the two largest weekly newspaper chains, Village Voice and New
Times, merged; and there's been an escalating scramble by several large media companies to control the expanding market for ethnic and foreign-language readers.

Can journalism survive in an era of corporate mergers and acquisitions? What about public service and community needs? What can be done in response to these trends to strengthen the quality of our news media workplaces?

Hear from journalists and media reformers who are responding creatively to the evolving media landscape.

Panelists:
-- LINDA FOLEY, president of The Newspaper Guild, a union representing newspaper workers nationwide. Prior to the sale of the Mercury News and Contra Costa Times, the Guild advanced an ambitious plan to transfer it and other former Knight Ridder papers to a "worker friendly" company.
-- TIM REDMOND, editor of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. The Guardian says it has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to unfair competition for ads since the two competing alt-weekly chains merged. How can the little guy compete when the "alternative" press is corporate controlled?
-- STEPHEN BUEL, editor of the East Bay Express. New owner Village Voice Media is the Guardian's corporate nemesis. As a reporter Buel once covered consolidation.
-- SANDY CLOSE, founder and director of New America Media, plus an additional panelist to be announced, will address the effects of consolidation in ethnic and foreign-language media.

Moderator:
-- ERNA SMITH, professor of journalism, San Francisco State University.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls; Dyin' time's here!"

The popular Death Guild Thunderdome Camp is holding a benefit night
to raise camp funds for Burning Man 2006.

center stage in bungee harnesses with foam-padded weapons within our
45' dome), the event will feature the amazing vocal stylings of
renowned local opera singer Diva Marisa, a fire-dancing performance
by the Thunderdome Fire Hotties, a spectacular display of fire arts
by Therm, and vending by Rhiannon Jewelry. There will also be a
raffle and a dome-fight tournament. Dance and dome music will be
provided by DJs That Guy Looks Familiar, Mitch, Decay, Hicksmokey,

will be used to help build and operate the Thunderdome Camp at
Burning Man. Further information is available at

EARTHLINGS

Presented by Christine Morrissey
East Bay Animal Advocates

Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, this documentary
film chronicles day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the
world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. It shows the
animal cruelty that occurs every day and it shows what our human
thirst for cheaper and cheaper products and more and more money does
to human beings every day.

Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our
Humanist Coffee House

# Wednesday, June 7, 7:30 pm -- Estate Planning Workshop

Got a plan?
You may have seen the ads. They depict tragic scenarios -- mouths clogged
with peanut butter, cookies with nowhere to be dipped - truly, we are warned of
the horrors awaiting those with an inadequate dairy beverage supply.

Out here in the real world, though, there are more pressing issues. There are
questions that might need answers: Who will take care of your kids if you
can't? How can you protect the people you love? If you can't speak for yourself,
who will - and will they care what you think about it?

CSC is proud to present Estate Planning for Everyone, a seminar designed to
answer these and other questions about guardianship, wills, trusts, Advance
Health Care Directives and more. CSC board member Kathleen Hunt, Esq. is the
founder of Unique Law, a law practice serving unique individuals and their

# The Endangered Endangered Species Act
Thursday, June 8 7:30-9 pm Free

For over 30 years the Endangered Species Act has been our nation's
safety net for fish, wildlife, and plants on the brink of extinction.
But in 2005 the U.S. House of Representatives voted to gut the
protective provisions of the statute, and several bills to eviscerate
the Endangered Species Act are being proposed in the U.S. Senate. If
these bills become law the natural world is likely to become greatly
impoverished, and as one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the
country the San Francisco Bay Area has much to loose in the process.
Join Brent Plater, Bay Area Director for the Center for Biological
Diversity, as he describes the strength and importance of the
Endangered Species Act and how current legislation will weaken the
law, defines where real improvements in the Endangered Species Act
can be made, and explains what you can do to ensure that protections
for endangered species remain strong.

Brent Plater works on a variety of endangered species and wildlands
protection issues throughout the country. He has been the lead
attorney on several cases brought by the Center, including cases to
protect the southern resident killer whale, the North American green
sturgeon, the unarmored threespine stickleback, the California red-
legged frog and dozens of wild and scenic rivers in the Great Lakes
region. Brent is a graduate of the University of Michigan's School of
Natural Resources and Environment, the University of California,
Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law, and Harvard University's Kennedy
School of Government.

# 06/11-WORLD NATURIST DAY (It's not about "nature", it's about NUDITY!)



# Ducky Doolittle 6/13!: June 13th / SAN FRANCISCO, CA
The Hot & Bothered Show
Entertaining and astute, Ducky's tales of sex-gone-wrong and sex-gone-right
flow into narratives of how women really orgasm, perverse octopuses, beer
goggles, balls, female ejaculation, weird things found in people's butts, the truth
about butt-gasms, outlawed sex toys, banned books and fear of sex education
in America. Combine all that and you get a hilarious and thought-provoking look
at today's twisted libido.
WHERE: Center for Sex & Culture 398 11th (at Harrison)
TIME: doors open at 9:30pm / show starts at 10pm
WHO: Individuals of every gender and sexual orientation. Wheelchair
accessible. TICKETS: $15
