		<title>Killing Peace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past forty years, Palestinians have continuously demonstrated nonviolent forms of opposition to the occupation and theft of their land. Israel's response has been to violently attack the protestors and arrest local leaders of peaceful demonstrations. 

 

On March 16, 2003 Rachel Corrie, an American human rights defender demonstrating against Palestinian home demolitions, was crushed to death by a bulldozer driven by an Israeli soldier. 

 

On March 13, 2009American peace activist Tristan Anderson suffered permanent brain damage from a tear gas projectile shot by Israeli Border Police during a peaceful demonstration against Israel’s apartheid wall in the West Bank.

 

On December 10, 2009 Abdallah Abu Rahmah, the coordinator of the Bil'in Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements was handcuffed, blindfolded and taken from his home in Bil’in to an Israeli military prison where he awaits trial for his “crime.”

 

On December 16, 2009 Jamal Juma'a who founded the Stop the Wall Campaign was arrested, as was his colleague Mohammad Othman after returning from Norway where he was advocating for divestment against Israeli business interests.

 

These are not isolated incidents, but represent the all too common reaction by the Israeli occupation forces to peaceful civil demonstrations by Palestinian and international activists. Six people have been killed and several hundred injured in Bil'in and the neighboring village of Na'alin in five years of weekly protests against the apartheid wall.

		<title>CON GAMES: An Open Letter About An Open Wound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An Open Letter To Dave Danforth, Owner and “Publisher/Mascot,” Aspen Daily News

Dear Dave:

You and I have had our differences over the years—too many to count—in part because I have been sliced open with a dirty knife by the Aspen Daily News like so many others before me. But that does not mean I take any pleasure in the mess that your editor, Troy Hooper, finally finds himself in.]]></description>

		<title>Fit Tip #5 Theory vs. Optimum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my fit tip on sleep, I wrote about how people need to get more sleep. It has been programmed into our DNA for 35M.Y., yet many try to show they can live off the least amount of sleep possible. What for? Why not reduce the amount oxygen and test yourself. Although truly foolish, this isn't the [...]]]></description>
