The Briarcliff Manor Board of Education had its annual
reorganization meeting, at which Paul Wasserman, who opposed the
board's budget that was voted down on May 21, was sworn in as a
trustee. Many people blame him and his running-mate for what was the
school district's first budget defeat in at least 40 years. It
remains to be seen how he gets along with fellow board members as the
school year progresses.
The Town of Cortlandt will have a
celebration of its 225th
anniversary on Sunday, July 28, from 3 to

with music, games, crafts fair,
and magician,
concluding with fireworks.
July 31 is the deadline for applying to be one of
the purchasers of 14 two-bedroom
"affordable" condominiums at 445 North State Road, Briarcliff Manor.

A new way of life and and the new
Underground Railroad
The alternatives to prison are few and far between. And
after serving time, the options for getting back on your feet are even
worse. Finding food, a job, and a place to
live with a criminal record can become an almost impossible task. On
this edition, we look at women building their
own support network after being released from prison. Well hear A New
Way of Life and the New Underground Railroad,
a documentary by Chris-Moore Backman.
Featuring: Susan Burton, A New Way of Life
Re-Entry Project executive director and founder; Michelle Alexander,
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
author; Alika Savage, Yolanda Brown, Renee Levi, Maisha
Bailey, Sabrayiah DeMoss, Samantha Jenkins, A New Way of Life

media critique
Drawing on an
international network of experts, analysts, and artists, CounterSpin
dissects news coverage of a wide range of issues and current events.
In addition to providing an antidote to the tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum
reporting that dominates mainstream media, CounterSpin exposes
and highlights biased and inaccurate news, censored stories, press/state
cronyism, disinformation, propaganda and spin control, interference by
sponsors and owners, media mergers, gaffes and goofs by America's
leading TV pundits, sexist and racist media assumptions, the corporate
takeover of public TV, attacks on free speech in music, entertainment,
and news industries tough, independent journalism that cuts against
the media grain. CounterSpin is produced by FAIR
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.
More information about
CounterSpin and FAIR is available at
FAIR.org.
CounterSpin this
week:
Monday afternoon, July 22 1:00-1:30 p.m.
Saturday morning,
July 27 10:00-10:30 a.m.
This week on CounterSpin:
The George Zimmerman not guilty verdict was upsetting to those who
campaigned for justice for Trayvon Martin, but it wasn't necessarily
surprising to those who have seen too many examples of similar
killings of young people of color go unpunished. We'll
speak with UCLA professor Robin Kelley about how the person on trial
wasn't Zimmerman
it was Trayvon Martin.
Also on CounterSpin this week:
The state-by-state
assault on women's reproductive rights isn't completely ignored
by the media; State Sen. Wendy Davis' epic filibuster got a lot of
coverage, even is much of is wasn't all that illuminating.
But are media treating the assault as
the national story many say it is? We'll
talk to Jodi Jacobson, women's health advocate and the editor of RH
Reality Check.org.

Alternative Radio
Alternative
Radio
is a weekly one-hour public affairs program
providing information, analyses, and
views that are frequently ignored or distorted in other media.
Alternative Radio
is hosted by David Barsamian, the award-winning founder and
director of the show, which
is based in Boulder, Colorado.
One of America's most wide-ranging and respected independent
journalists, David Barsamian has altered the media landscape with his
radio programs and books with Noam Chomsky, Tariq Ali, Howard Zinn,
Arundhati Roy, and others.
His most recent books are Power Systems: Conversations on
Global Democratic Uprisings and the New Challenges to U.S. Empire
with Noam Chomsky, Occupy the Economy: Challenging Capitalism
with Richard Wolff, and a reissue of the
classic How the World Works. His
best-selling books with Chomsky have been translated into many
languages.
He is winner of the Media Education Award, the A.C.L.U.'s
Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism, and the Cultural
Freedom Fellowship from the Lannan Foundation. The
Institute for Alternative Journalism named him one of its Top Ten Media
Heroes.
Established in 1986, A.R.
is dedicated to the founding principles of public broadcasting, which
urge that programming serve as "a forum for controversy and debate," be
diverse and "provide a voice for groups that may otherwise be unheard."
The project is entirely independent, sustained solely by
individuals who buy transcripts and tapes of programs.
More information about
Alternative Radio, including information about purchasing copies
of A.R. programs, is available at
alternativeradio.org.

"A.R.
is sometimes taken to stand for 'alternative radio.'
A better reading would be 'authentic'
or 'autonomous radio,' free from constraints of concentrated
power, state or private, responsive to needs and concerns of the
communities it reaches and open to their participation."

License to
kill
Drones represent a new era in
warfare. They are the White
House-Pentagon-CIA weapon of choice. Clean
21st century death from above. No
body bags. No weeping mothers.
At least not in the homeland.
The President decides who lives and who dies. Its
a dangerous world. Enemies are lurking
everywhere. Lets get them before they
get us.
Georgetown Law Professor Rosa
Brooks, among others, are ringing alarm bells. She
told a Senate committee, Right now we have the executive branch making
a claim that it has the right to kill anyone anywhere on earth at any
time for secret reasons based on secret evidence in a secret process
undertaken by unidentified officials. Thats
not the rule of law. That frightens me.
As Bob Dylan tells us in
License to Kill: Man thinks cause he rules the earth he can do
with it as he please, And if things dont change soon, he will.
JEREMY SCAHILL
Jeremy Scahill is the award-winning National Security
Correspondent for the Nation magazine and author of the
best-sellers Blackwater and Dirty Wars.
He has reported from war zones
around the world. His work has

selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
