Taking meds to feel normal?
LOS ANGELES, California - A notorious trauma bay in an inner-city ER earns its keep as the "hurt locker of medicine" as new, idealistic, and adrenaline-seeking doctors train in an environment akin to a war-zone.

When the hospital moves to a swank, new building the rush fades, and a bad bureaucracy gridlocks the state-of-the-art facility.

The doctors are faced with the unexpected realities of life and death in a safety-net health care system at the brink of overload. Now playing. Don't worry. "Nothing Bad Can Happen"...and if it does, there's always C Booth:

  • June 21, 2014 - Summer Solstice: Today at 6:51 AM EDT, the Sun was shining directly above the Tropic of Cancer marking this as the longest day of 2014 for the Northern Hemisphere and beginning of summer. This same day marks the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere where winter begins. These seasons happen because Earth is tilted on its axis at a 23.5-degree angle.
  • June 20, 2014 - Earth's Core Changes Are Changing Magnetic Fields. Swarm satellite (ESA) measurements made the last 6 months show a dramatic decline over North and South America with a strengthening of the Earth's magnetic field over the southern Indian Ocean. June 2014 image by ESA's Swarm Satellite. Magnetic North continues to move towards Siberia where a large magma rise under the crust has been occurring for the past three decades. This new picture reinforces the concept that the Earth's magnetic poles are building up to a switch. Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has weakened by about 15%. Over the last 20 million years, the poles have reversed on average about every 200,000 to 300,000 years. But the last pole reversal was 780,000 years ago, so Earth is long overdue for a pole change. What exactly happens to Earth life at such pole reversals is unknown. See 020111 Earthfiles.

As Ivory Coast kicks off against Greece, Didier Drogba, the footballer who ended a war, is being cheered on. After qualifying for the 2006 World Cup, Drogba and his teammates appealed to their fellow citizens to lay down their guns after five years of civil war. A ceasefire was called, and Drogba became a hero to peacemakers everywhere (The PG).

War, what war? Poverty? Huh?
(June 24, 2014) On today’s podcast, the focus is on Mexico and the Netherlands, whose victories today mean they will face off against each other in the Round of 16. Alan Minsky and Meleiza Figueroa recap Holland’s win, as well as El Tri’s ecstatic victory and how the rise of CONCACAF may reflect on Europe’s dominance of the game and give a preview of tomorrow’s matches. KPFK’s Antonio Gonzalez speaks with David Brooks of La Jornada on how Mexico’s conservative government is using the team’s glory to distract people from the dramatic and reactionary economic reforms being rammed through the legislature. Finally, we reprise Minsky’s 2010 interview with David Winner, author of Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Soccer.

The People’s Game Part 2: Brazil Rejects Neo-Liberal Soccer
Alan Minsky (KPFK.org) and Meleiza Figueroa (Before It's News)
What FIFA has imposed on Brazil is a kind of soccer that is nearly unrecognizable. So it is heretical to the people who have over the course of more than a century made this sport into a national religion.
