Report from Istanbul: Uptick in Bombings Comes as Turkey Drifts Toward Islamist, Authoritarian Rule
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - Funerals have begun in Turkey for some of the 42 people killed in a triple suicide bombing Tuesday targeting Turkey’s main airport in Istanbul. The attack also left 239 others injured. Authorities said three attackers arrived at the airport’s international terminal by taxi and blew themselves up after opening fire. The airport is the 11th busiest in the world. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but Turkey’s prime minister said the initial probe pointed to the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or Daesh. A senior Turkish official told the Associated Press the three suicide attackers were nationals of Russia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Earlier today, Turkish police raided 16 locations in Istanbul and detained 13 people on suspicion of involvement in the attack. Turkey has seen an uptick in bombings since last year, when the United States began using Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base to carry out bombing raids in Syria and Iraq targeting ISIS strongholds.
"A Classic State Capitalist": How Donald Trump Profited from Public Subsidies & Political Favors
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - "It’s not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me. I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars." Those were the words of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump during a town hall event last year in New Hampshire. Today we look back at Trump’s rise to power and how he profited from his father’s deep pocketbook and political connections. Decades before Donald Trump became a household name, his father Fred Trump emerged as one of New York’s most prolific real estate developers, building more than 27,000 homes in Brooklyn and Queens. In 1927, Fred Trump made the news when he was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan riot in Queens. We speak to Wayne Barrett, considered the preeminent journalist on Donald Trump. As a reporter at The Village Voice, Barrett began reporting on Donald Trump in the late 1970s.
Vice President's Daughter Karenna Gore Arrested in the Trenches of a Climate Protest
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - We turn now to an act of civil disobedience on climate change in the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. On Wednesday, a dozen protesters with the group Resist the Pipeline were arrested for nonviolently lying down in a trench being dug by Spectra Energy for its pipeline. Several more were arrested for trespassing on private property. The action sought to draw a connection between pipelines like Spectra’s and a mass grave that was dug last month in Pakistan in preparation for a deadly heat wave. For more, we speak with Karenna Gore, director of the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary.
Tim DeChristopher Arrested Again in the "Age of Anticipatory Mass Graves" for Climate Victims
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - On Wednesday, 23 people were arrested protesting Spectra Energy’s fracked gas pipeline in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Longtime climate activist Tim DeChristopher was one of about 30 people who ventured onto the Spectra pipeline construction site in an attempt to nonviolently stop work. Local residents and politicians have long opposed the West Roxbury Lateral pipeline, which they say is dangerous for the pipeline to run alongside a quarry where there is frequent blasting. During the action, DeChristopher and 11 others climbed inside the pipeline trench and refused to budge for almost two hours before being forcibly removed by firefighters. DeChristopher drew a comparison between the trenches of the gas pipeline and the mass graves recently dug in Pakistan in anticipation of a climate-fueled heat wave.

She points to the rise of digital printing as a prime example of fashion's move towards personalization. "There are already a number of websites [where you can] chose the images that you want to wear on your body. That is quite amazing. If you look at our Cute Circuit dress that is embedded with micro-LEDs, you can chose the imagery that is going to appear on your garment. So there is this incredible freedom of expression, this amazing creativity that you are going to be able to achieve in the future."

Our volunteer vet, Jono, quickly came to the rescue, using a trusty pair of veterinary scissors to cut it free. Watch the video to see what happened!

Pro Football Weekly pays tribute to late coach Buddy Ryan
Pro Football Weekly
The man who led the greatest defense in NFL history, Buddy Ryan, died Tuesday at the age of 82.

Ryan coached in the NFL over four decades and was the defensive coordinator for the Bears' defense when Chicago won its only Super Bowl following the 1985 season. Ryan was famously carried off the field by the players in celebration of the win.

The defensive mastermind's coaching career began in 1961 as a defensive line coach for the Bills, where he spent five years. Ryan coached the Jets' defensive line when they won Super Bowl III.

Ryan then helped coach the famous "Purple People Eaters" Vikings defense, running their D-line from 1976-77 before beginning his eight-year stint with the Bears.
