Everybody didn’t have access to the Democratic Party debate
The editor of Buzzflash at Truthout recently wrote that, “By offering the debates on television only to paid subscribers of television packages that included CNN and Fox News, the most important political interaction between candidates for president of the United States was, essentially, privatized.” If you’re living with a net-enabled digital device seemingly glued to your more »

Watch Waves Of Lava Roll Down Hawaii Volcano
Forget your surfboard -- these Hawaiian waves are made of magma.
Videographer Mick Kalber was flying over Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano on Friday when he captured pictures of a large, wave-like outbreak of lava northeast of Pu'u 'O'o vent.
Kalber has been documenting lava at Kilauea for 30 years, and this was the first time he's seen such activity in the middle of a flow field.
"The outbreak is about a quarter-mile long, and 75-80 yards wide, the crust repeatedly cracking, oozing lava, and subducting the plates nearby in a remarkable display," Kalber writes on his Facebook page.
After reviewing the video, Janet Babb, a geologist and public information officer at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said the flow was from a short-lived breakout. "Similar breakouts have been happening for months in this general area," she said.
"It does not represent new activity or a significant change in the eruption," Babb wrote in an email to The Huffington Post.
Nope, it's just another day on Hawaii's Big Island.
Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes. Since 1952, there have been 34 eruptions. Eruptive activity has been continuous along the east rift zone since 1983.
Last year, a slow-moving lava flow from Kilauea threatened the rural town of Pahoa.

Al Jazeera America feature on Madison, Wisconsin homelessness
A friend of mine had shared this story on facebook and I idly clicked it not knowing what I was in for. I saw the string of cars and vans along a curved street and thought, “Hey. That looks sorta like that area by Milwaukee Street.” Oh. That *IS* that area by Milwaukee Street. The more »

Parents Say There's One Thing Worse Than Having Son Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer
After their son, Kirk II, was diagnosed with liver cancer and told he had only six months to live, Laurie and Kirk Sr. claim that the woman who previously had left their son at the altar ran -- not walked -- to tie the knot this time.
"I believe Star was seeing dollar signs with my dying son. She married him for his life insurance money," claims Laurie. "Star is manipulative, and she is out for Star ... Star has physically, emotionally and financially destroyed my son."
Star admits she has cheated on Kirk twice and that she hit him once, but she vehemently denies that she's after his money. "Kirk's family has judged me since day one," says Star, who says she wishes they would back off. "They make me out to be this evil person."
Why is Kirk II eager to save his marriage? Can it even be saved? Should his parents butt out? Watch more from Friday's episode of Dr. Phil here.
