Roots to Grow: The Need for Radical Spaces in Movement-Building
Nov. 22, 2011, 5:51 p.m.

Future Food Production: The Sky's The Limit
Nov. 22, 2011, 5:38 p.m.
We often hear about vertical economic growth and vertical integration in business but the idea of growing our food vertically sounds fantastical.
Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio is Dr. Dickson Despommier, a microbiologist and ecologist whoâs a leading proponent of vertical farming, a concept that argues the viability of cultivating plant or animal life within skyscrapers. Host Alex Wise talks to him about some of the problems with traditional agricultural methods and why he believes that vertical farming would conserve water and fossil fuels. When it comes to meeting the challenge of feeding an exploding global population, perhaps the sky is the limit.

NATO's expanding horizons
Nov. 22, 2011, 2 p.m.
NATO is more and more becoming the center of all things in every quarter the globe, so Phil speaks with a very important news source: Rick Rozoff, of "Stop NATO." They cover the whole gamut: from Eastern Europe to the Northwest Passage to Libya. And while NATO appears to be receding from the Libyan story, even Saif Gaddafi's current trial was enabled by NATO airpower. Rozoff suggests that NATO now wishes to avoid a trial for Saif because of the earlier embarassment of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic mounting a legal defense after the Kosovo war. It would be more convenient for Gaddafi to die at the hands of the new "independent" Libyan government.
Meanwhile, the guiding objectives are the same, whether in NATO's East European frontiers in Kosovo and Georgia, or the shores of Tripoli. In Libya, NATO spokespeople are forecasting "NATO interoperable forces," and kings and dictators are supported in Georgia and elsewhere. NATO also seeks a "Middle Eastern Partnership" to bring that area into their hold
While NATO and clients commit acts of aggression around the world, only those who "resist assault" end up on the docket. The U.S. plays with fire, engaging in brinksmanship with Syria, Iran, and North Korea. We could wake up any day to terrifying news of a new war. So why does Harper want to be a wolf in this wolfpack?

Here's information about Professor William B. Gould's latest book,
"Bargaining with Baseball: Labor Relations in an Age of Prosperous Tumoil"
Print ISBN: 978-0-7864-6515-6
EBook ISBN: 978-0-7864-8688-5
25 photos, tables, notes, bibliography, index

In 1995, William B. Gould IV, then chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, cast the deciding vote to obtain the injunction that ended the longest strike in baseball history. Sixteen years of peaceful relations between baseball labor and management have followed, as well as unprecedented prosperity in a relationship that had just endured 30 years of strikes and lockouts. This study, which clearly illustrates the practical impact of law on Americaâs pastime, considers the 140-year sweep of labor-management relationships and conflict, exploring player-owner disputes, the development of free agency, the collective bargaining process, and the racial integration of baseball, among other topics. It concludes with a discussion of the "steroids era," the problem with maintaining Jackie Robinsonâs legacy in the 21st century, and globalization.

On Veteran's Day the Chill Room brings in H.T. (Tom) Brown to read from and discuss his new memoir called Summer of Love, My Ass! Tom and I worked together in the 90s for Rhino and we share love of music, liberal politics and history. Tom's Vietnam-era adventures are both startling and funny. It is also informative of how young people are broken down to be reconstructed as soldiers - unless they are determined otherwise. And Tom was so determined!
