Women's Liberation at Seneca Falls
July 20, 2010, 6:43 p.m.
Apparently, according to The Sunday Times of London, Women may soon rule the world.
âGermany is already governed by a woman. In America and France women are trying to seize the presidency from men. Are we ready for a triumvirate of Iron Ladies?â
Good question. It wasnât so long agoâabout 162 years this Mondayâthat women were struggling for merely the right to vote. And that only came about because they had been snubbed when working to gain slaves their freedom. In fact, the original idea for convention devoted to womenâs voting began at another protest meeting: the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London.

The Cannabis Chronicles 2: From Black Market to Industry
July 20, 2010, 1:28 p.m.
The second installment of the Cannabis Chronicles looks at the medical cannabis industry. Attorney General guidelines and the Health and Safety code name the collective or cooperative as the basis of cannabis cultivation or distribution, but laws are poorly defined and even more poorly understood. Host Liz Davidson talks to cannabis law attorney James Silva about agricultural cooperatives and dispensaries, reports on safe legal avenues of distribution, and names some misunderstandings that might cause patients or caregivers to unknowingly commit a felony. Liz also talks to a dispensary owner Mariellen Jurkowitz about her major concerns, USDA/Clean Green inspector Chris van Hook about organic cannabis, and looks at the future of regulation of this growing industry.

NY State Cancer Detectives Conversation

Teleconference
Beautiful Thinking: Loving the Earth, Loving Our Bodies, Cancer-Free America
National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures-New York State Cancer Detectives Conversation: a public open forum event for the purpose of developing consensus on the subject of pollutant carcinogen exposure reduction
Consensus Statement
In the United States, the federal and state governments are controlled by corporations to the extent that scientific knowledge will not be used to prevent cancer in a significantly effective way for many years. Small groups of cancer prevention activists have the capacity to move their town and county governments to work as partners in cancer prevention education, thereby accomplishing the goal of using science to prevent cancer.
Making cancer prevention exciting and appealing is key to the success of this educational endeavor. By sharing our experiences as cancer detectives in unique and creative ways we can inspire others to join into our cancer prevention revolution. Making a series of movies: Cancer Detectives in the St. Lawrence River Valley, Cancer Detectives in the Adirondack Mountains, Cancer Detectives in the Ohio River Valley, Cancer Detectives in Detroit, etc. is high on our list of education projects. Conducting open stage events that involve sharing our experiences as cancer detectives in a performance-like manner is proving to be fun and effective.
This event has been reported to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), which serve as facilitators of the National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures. The Conversation is a collaborative project focusing on setting an action agenda for accomplishing the vision of chemical use that is safe and healthy for all.
Viva the Revolution!!
