She is one of the ultimate icons of the music world, and we're coming up on the 50th anniversary of the plane crash that took Patsy Cline. I love that big contralto voice of hers, which I always thought was pure rock at its heart. And in fact she did a bit of rockabilly in the 50s, but she was directed more toward torchy, almost cabaret material, especially near the end. Let's take some time to listen closely to that amazing voice, in salute and wonder.

Unprotected Sandy Cleanup Hires Face Health & Safety Threats
with
Joel Shufro, Exec. Dir. NY Committee for Occupational Safety & Health ("NYCOSH")
and
Luzdary Giraldo, NYCOSH Community Outreach Organizer
NYCOSH is demanding employers and government agencies respond to the massive health and safety violations thousands of cleanup workers face in the wake of Sandy, so as not to repeat the 911 fiasco which continues to cost the lives of first responders. Thousands of Sandy workers are facing health and safety hazards as they cleanup the wreckage, and are forced to work 10 - 12 hour shifts often without even receiving the minimum wage. *****************
350 Economists Warn Obama and Congress:
Unwise Deficit Reduction Could Kill Recovery. Economy Needs Growth and Jobs, Not Austerity.
With
. Robert Pollin, Univ. ofMassachusetts, Economist and co-director of Political Economy Research Institute (PERI)
. Teresa Ghirarducci, Director of the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at the The New School
Warning that the U.S. economy is still
"marked by mass unemployment, rising poverty, and declining wages." 350 prominent economists issued a
statement with the Campaign for America's Future that, "the fragile recovery is threatened by obsessive concern with cutting deficits that has infected both parties."
The economists' statement highlighted that drastic spending cuts adopted in a "grand bargain" aimed at avoiding sequestration could have such a contractionary impact on the still-fragile economy that the U.S. could join European countries in plunging into recession as a result of misguided austerity policies.
Debunking myths about the great white shark
Jan. 5, 2013, 5:30 p.m.
The great white shark is an apex predator that plays a vital role in the world's ecosystems. While protected internationally, the shark is still threatened by finning, culling and illegal trophy hunting, problems compounded by the shark's slow breeding rate. I visited the White Shark Project, which runs a cage-diving company to raise funds and awareness about great white shark conservation in South Africa. While there is debate about the ethics of cage diving, this particular project plays a strong role in the local community and in promoting shark awareness.
Indigenous struggles in Brazil,West Papua, Ethiopia
Jan. 5, 2013, 2:03 p.m.
On the Nov 16th episode of Warning Shots Scott Price talks with John Schertow publisher and editor of Intercontinental Cry. Intercontinental Cry (IC) is an independent, volunteer-run magazine dedicated to the struggles of Indigenous Peoples world wide.
John explains the indigenous struggles in Brazil, West Papua and Ethiopia.
In Brazil Indigenous Peoples throughout Brazil are mobilizing to repeal a dangerous new "anti-indian" law that decimates indigenous rights to land as guaranteed by Brazil's Federal Constitution and backed by international agreements such as ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
In West Papua Indonesia's counter-terrorism squad, Densus 88, has been accused of perpetrating a massive fraud that aims to dismantle the peaceful, pro-independence West Papua National Committee.
In Ethiopia Indigenous Peoples in Southwest Ethiopia have implicated the World Bank in grave human rights abuses that are being carried out as part of a resettlement programme headed by the Ethiopian Government.
