January - Eagle Watching in Winter

In winter, many of Wisconsin’s bald eagles congregate near dams and power plants where there is open water. Great places to see them include the Wisconsin River in Sauk Prairie, along the Mississippi River and at several locations along the Fox River. Bald eagles are a common sight today in Wisconsin, but in the late 1960s, there were fewer than 490 nesting pairs, down from an estimated 100,000 nesting pairs. Learn more about the return of our national symbol and where you can see them now.

January - Ice Cover on Lakes

Winter ice cover on the Great Lakes is unpredictable from year to year. For example, two years ago, 92.5% of the Great Lakes were covered with ice, but in 2012, just 12.9% of the lakes froze over. Why does this matter? Because ice cover affects everything from the length of the shipping season to ice fishing. And speaking of fish, they care too. For example, in the shallow waters where whitefish spawn in early winter, ice cover protects whitefish eggs from destructive wind and wave action, so more ice is good for them. Snow on top of the ice matters too. Listen to our podcast and find out why.

January - Wintering Wild Turkeys

A new Al Haq campaign called "Facts on the Ground"

Today we feature a special presentation by two staff members of the Palestinian organization, Al Haq. Aseil Abu Baker and Marya Farah spoke at the Harvard Law School describing a new Al Haq campaign called “Facts on the Ground.” Al-Haq is an independent Palestinian non-governmental human rights organization based in Ramallah, West Bank. Established in 1979 to protect and promote human rights and the rule of law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), the organization has special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The Facts On The Ground Campaign highlights Israel’s exploitation of Palestinian natural resources and the resultant violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. “Facts on the Ground” brings together past reports and virtual field visits by Al-Haq on water, natural gas, oil, Dead Sea minerals, and land. Al-Haq emphasizes that the discourse regarding Israel’s prolonged occupation of Palestine needs to be expanded to address another root cause: the economic benefits Israel reaps through its exploitation of Palestinian natural resources. Consequently, the Palestinian economy is obstructed, and the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a whole is relegated to a captive market.

Attica, Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy!

Attica, Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy! with Heather Ann Thompson, author of Blood In The Water Although much has been written about the take over and ensuing assault on the Attica prison by state police and national guard troops some four days later which resulted in the murder of forty three individuals, including ten hostages, one statement by a 21 year old spokesperson for the inmates, himself later executed by police after they retook the prison, rings no less true or powerful today, some 45 years later: We are men! We are not beasts and we do not intend to be beaten or driven as such. The entire prison populace, that means each and every one of us here, have set forth to change forever the ruthless brutalization and disregard for the lives of the prisoners here and throughout the United States. What has happened here is but the sound before the fury of those who are oppressed. We will not compromise on any terms except those terms that are agreeable to us. Weve called upon all the conscientious citizens of America to assist us in putting an end to this situation that threatens the lives of not only us, but of each and every one of you, as well. " Elliott James L.D. Barkley, 1971 Forty-five years after the rebellion at Attica, one of the greatest civil rights up-risings of that century stunned the nation, millions of Americans mostly men and women of color are locked away in prisons often for decades. But, Attica continues to serve as the inspiration, most recently for the largest prison strike in the history of this country and as Eddie Ellis, our recently deceased WBAI radio journalist, prisoner reform advocate and former Attica prisoner who was locked in one of the secured areas of the prison during the uprising said: the bloodshed at Attica did something important it exposed what was being done to people and it also showed what men were able to do in a few short days when we work together. That history will serve us, one way or another. The choice, as it has always been, is up to us to dismantle the system of mass incarceration. Heather Ann Thompson, author of Blood In The Water, draws from more than a decade of extensive research and sheds new light on every aspect of the uprising and its legacy, giving voice to all those who took part in this forty-five-year fight for justice: prisoners, former hostages, families of the victims, lawyers and judges, state officials and members of law enforcement. Blood in the Water is the searing and indelible account of one of the most important civil rights stories of the last century.

Hillary Clinton on Election Rigging

Hillary Clinton on the democratic process: “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake. And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”
