Who will exercise control? What type of control will be exercised? Most important of all, toward what end or purpose, or in the pursuit of what value, will control be exercised?" -- Carl Rogers (1902-1987) http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Carl.Rogers.Quote.2796 California: 10) Signaling a welcome change at the top, managers of the California Department of Forestry (CDF) traveled from Sacramento to Jackson Forest in late June. They came expressly to tour the forest with Kathy Bailey of the Sierra Club and me. We spent most of the day walking and talking along a route that I had chosen, one that showed beautiful redwood groves undisturbed for eighty years, a Pomo Indian campsite, remains of historic railroad trestles, and the aftermath of clearcut logging operations. At the end of the day, the senior CDF managers emphasized their understanding that the current times called for a new mission for Jackson State Forest, one that emphasizes the potential of Jackson to become a world-class research forest and one that recognizes the value of preserving and restoring the forest. This is a fresh breeze, indeed, and very welcome. The June meeting had its origins in an earlier invitation from Ruben Grijalva, the newly appointed Director of the California Department of Forestry, to meet with him and his staff in Sacramento. I approached the meeting with hope, but also with fear that CDF would maintain the stonewall that has prevented all progress on Jackson Forest reform for six years. To my surprise and delight, Mr. Grijalva quickly expressed a willingness to explore new solutions and seek consensus. Early in the meeting, I said that to get an acceptable solution, CDF must be willing to fund its unrelated forestry programs from sources other than cutting trees in Jackson Forest. In the 1990s, timber revenues from Jackson funded almost one-third of the total budget of CDF. The drive for timber revenue led to the neglect of other forest values and, ultimately, to the formation of the Campaign. Until this point, CDF had steadfastly refused to consider lowering its timber harvests to promote other forest values. Jackson revenue was viewed as too important to sacrifice. Mr. Grijalva replied that he had already publicly stated that he was willing to fund the department's forestry programs from alternative sources, and that he meant it. Suddenly, the discussion moved beyond fixed positions to seeking mutually acceptable solutions. http://www.jacksonforest.org # http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/event/d86b4dfb-8934-40f6-9c1c-57db8e7dcf80 2006-07-07 4:30 PM Host: BassCamp; Otto& Dae Location: ~ Pirate's Cove; Mendo Coast!

SF Mime Troupe presents: GODFELLAS Imagine a nation where religious fervor runs hot, and faith rhetoric runs hotter. Where belief has replaced reason, and where Liberty and Justice play a broken second fiddle to an all powerful, omniscient and omnipresent military-industrial God complex. That's the nation Reverend C.B. De Love wants. And that's also the nation where shy civics teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. But in her struggle to stop the coming Theocracy will Angela go too far? In her zeal to destroy the opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her anti-religion, and join the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see the folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and return to Reason?

With Mosquito Death Squadon (art/experimental rock) and more bands TBA $5 donation suggested-no one turned away. ** The Green Scare is a federal round-up environmental and animal rights activists, which The National Lawyer's Guild among others has condemned as unconstitutional. Officially called "Operation Backfire", this wide-scale orchestrated investigation of activists uses paid informants, warrantless spying on a range of organizations, and threats of severe sanctions to leverage fear of conviction under unprecedented penalties for property crimes. 888-NLG-ECOLAW is a hotline established to support these activists. Visit http://www.greenscare.org for more info on solidarity with Green Scare victims. ** ** The G8, or Group of 8, is the seven wealthiest industrialized nations in the world plus Russia. They officially meet once a year to strategize policies and plan their joint domination of the world, and in recent years have been confronted by intense popular demonstrations wherever they go. The political heads of these countries -- the U.S., Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan -- are pushing the agenda of corporate globalization at the cost of the welfare of the people they claim to represent. We take to the streets when the G8 meets to reject their worldview of profit at any cost, and to reclaim our commons of autonomous political space. Authentic democracy or corporate oligarchy? The choice is ours... ** ****************************************************************************************************************** RELCAIM THE DEBATE! RESIST THE G8!

But in 1999 and 2000, these unique creatures suddenly began to disappear by the thousands -- losing an entire one-third of their population. In the "Gray Whale Obstacle Course" episode of KQED's "Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventures" (airing July 19th), Cousteau and his team look for answers as they travel the friendly giants' long migration route through polluted waters fraught with hungry killer whales and dangerous military sonar, all the way to their diminishing Arctic feeding grounds. Come get a sneak preview of this thought-provoking episode and learn more about these fascinating animals at tonight's talk, co-presented with KQED. Speaker: Shari Bookstaff, Professor of Biology at Skyline College and President of the American Cetacean Society About the Series: Ask a Scientist is an informative, entertaining, science lecture series, held at a San Francisco cafe. Each event features a speaker on a current topic, a short presentation, and the opportunity to ask all those burning questions that have been keeping you up at night.

Do you remember the 711 Club at 711 Market street, the charming little dive behind the carved dutch doors on Market near 3rd? Of course you do. How could you forget any bar with a glittery ceiling, fuzzy wallpaper, and that carving on the back wall. Did you shed a tear when it suddenly closed in 2003? Did you think it was a joke when the 7-11 logos went up? Did you wonder if Martin finally won the Lotto? Do you still miss the place? If so, than this is for you. On TUESDAY, JULY 11TH, at approximately 7:11 PM, it will be time to remember the 711 Club - the only speakeasy turned saloon turned dive bar turned ironic convenience store in the lower 48. And is there a better place to remember the 711 at 7:11 on 7/11 than in front of the 7-11? No. There isn't. We're going to do this flashmob style. Please arrive before 7:11, and bring a beverage of your choice (bonus points for Kostritzer). Loiter around the corner of 3rd and market until the time is right. At exactly 7:11 pm, you should walk to the front of the 7-11 (at 711 Market St, natch), open your beverage and spill some on the ground. Then you are encouraged to loiter, beverage in hand, in front of the 7-11 reminiscing.

The information presented is the cutting edge and constitutes the latest research in bio-chemical, core energetics, and Mind-Body-Spirit medicine. These segments will enlighten participants to the avenues one may take to regenerate systemically the human body. Part One will explore the various reasons why the human body degenerates though it is primed and genetically coded to live forever. Immortality is the birthright of every human being, yet an array of cultural/social mechanisms prevents the human entity from living past the average age of 65-75 years...the last 25 of those years being absorbed in physical decay, pain, and emotional misery. Part Two will examine the various foods, supplements, and elixirs that reinstate the overall vitality of the human body. Simple trace minerals such as zinc play an overwhelmingly essential role in all generative functions...physical and energetic. Part Three: Immortal Energetics will discuss the relationship of the organs in the human body as they relate to our overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. This presentation will reveal specific techniques and practices one can do to reestablish the keys to health and longevity by manipulating the death codes programmed into the human body and replacing them with the light codes of vitality and long life.

Chandler, M.S., C.P.H., S.C.E. is the author of Ancient Future: The Teachings and Prophetic Wisdom of the Seven Hermetic Laws of Ancient Egypt and the forth coming book The Brighter Side of Darkness: A Light Warriors Guide to Inner Alchemy and Spiritual Revelation.

Call to Action! A call to action from Earth First! Climate Caucus and Rising Tide North America July 15th 2006 -- Direct Action for Climate Justice International Day of Direct Action against Climate Change and the G8 Rise Up Against G8 Policies Target Fossil Fuel Industries in Your Town or Bioregion On July 15th, the "Group of 8" (G8) richest industrialized countries will gather in St. Petersburg, Russia to plot their continued commodification and domination of the planet, this time under the banner of "Energy Security." A leaked G8 "Communique on Energy Security" calls for trillions of dollars in new investments in oil, gas and coal production worldwide, plus wide-scale global expansion of nuclear energy. With runaway climate change* looming just over the horizon, such neoliberal business-as-usual poses a direct threat to the continuation of life on Earth as we know it. Resistance is self defense. The G8 agenda promotes petroleum-dependent "Energy Security" that pollutes our land and atmosphere, ravages poor and indigenous communities, and scorches the Earth's climate. Their recipe for disaster must be met with our global resistance! July 15th will be an International Day of Action Against Climate Change. As G8 energy ministers promise trillions in new subsidies to the industries destroying our planet and our future, we will take action to shut them down! This is a call for autonomous, decentralized actions appropriate for your town, city, or bioregion. Use this international day of action to support local struggles against oil refineries, gas pipelines, strip mines and coal-fired power plants. Disrupt the financial backers of the fossil fuel industry. Host teach-ins to spread sustainable post-petroleum living skills. Find a weak point in the infrastructure of resource exploitation and throw a literal or symbolic wrench in the works. Visit your local polluters and give 'em hell! The July 15th International Day of Action Against Climate Change is being mobilized by Rising Tide North America, a new network initiated in the US by the Earth First! Climate Caucus, with inspiration and support from the UK's vibrant Rising Tide direct action movement for climate justice and against climate change. Rising Tide North America is actively mobilizing July 15th actions in local bioregions, as well as reaching out to environmental justice, climate action and radical sustainability movements in all of the G8 countries plus the Global South. Rising Tide North America is building a large collection of outreach and agit-prop materials that can be used by groups around the continent (and the world) to organize locally. These materials will be downloadable from http://www.reclaimthecommons.net and from the website of Rising Tide North America (comin' soon). Join the Rising Tide North America network, and tell us about July 15th actions against climate change being planned in your community or bioregion! Contact us at efclimatecaucus [at] wildmail.com.

Storms and hurricanes are growing more severe. Polar bears are drowning as their icy habitat breaks apart and drifts out to sea. Greenland and Antarctica are melting. Everyday we spew more greenhouse gases burned from fossil fuels into the atmosphere; everyday we are one step closer to what scientists refer to as "the tipping point," on the verge of catastrophic and irreversible climate chaos. # July 15: Int'l Day of Action to Shut Down Guantanamo Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit sent by Frida Berrigan via David McReynolds - Jul 7, 2006 sc-list mailing list http://mail.witnesstorture.org/mailman/listinfo/sc-list_witnesstorture.org Join International Day of Action to Shut Down Guantanamo on July 15th!

All the money collected will be donated to a charity that is chosen by all participants. Some examples of what might be offered include: how to setup a blog, how to get the most from shortcuts in Photoshop, configure a Drupal community, redesign a Web site, customize a WordPress theme, create a survey, optimize AdSense ads, figure out tagging, how to shoot better photographs or just about anything really - even non-technical things like how to write a press release. Ideally this will happen in one on one exchanges, but it could be a project with a couple of people involved that needs the expertise or perhaps a team of people who are offering their expertise. The event is being sponsored by BrainJams, MindJet and RateItAll. If you would like to share your expertise, please sign up here: http://rentanexpert.pbwiki.com/Offer%20your%20expertise If there is something you would like to learn, please list it here: http://rentanexpert.pbwiki.com/request%20expertise We hope to see you there!

It is the art and science of learning and using the "designs" which we see all around us, about copying what Nature seems to do very well. Think spider silk stronger than steel! What is important for a world rapidly depleting its resources, Biomimicry is about using nature's "manufacturing ideas" to be more efficient with materials and energy. An engineer, Onno Koelman of Pax Scientific, and a teacher of product design, Sue Redding of CCA, present some elegantly practical applications of Biomimicry. PROGRAM Onno Koelman is a design engineer at PAX Scientific and
