Al Jazeera English - Americas - Honduras agrees to Zelaya talks

Al Jazeera English - Americas - Honduras agrees to Zelaya talks: "The de facto Honduran government has said that it is willing to talk to Manuel Zelaya if the ousted president recognises the legality of presidential elections scheduled for November.

'I will talk with anybody anywhere at any time, including with former President Manuel Zelaya,' Roberto Micheletti, the man who replaced Zelaya, said in a statement read out by a senior aide late on Tuesday.

The concession by the interim government comes amid rising tensions in the standoff between security forces and Zelaya outside the Brazilian embassy in the capital Tegucigalpa, where the ousted leader has taken refuge.

Micheletti had previously said he would not reopen negotiations and insisted that Brazil should hand over Zelaya to 'pay for the crimes he committed', which according to the interim government are corruption and violating the constitution."

Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

When Fracking Came to Suburban Texas January 01, 2013 "The Guardian" - -The corner of Goldenrod and Western streets, with its grid of modest homes, could be almost any suburb that went up in a hurry – except of course for the giant screeching oil rig tearing up the earth and making the pavement shudder underfoot. Fracking, the technology that opened up America's vast deposits of unconventional oil and gas, has moved beyond remote locations and landed at the front door, with oil operations now planned or under way in suburbs, mid-sized towns and large metropolitan areas. Some cities have moved to limit fracking or ban it outright – even in the heart of oil and gas country. Tulsa, Oklahoma, which once billed itself as the oil capital of the world, banned fracking inside city limits. The ...
