Taking Liberties with John Mellencamp

At Camp Wellstone Chicago, participants took a unique approach to organizing a media event.  Check out the video now!

In the activist track at Camp Wellstone, participants spend the weekend working through a Green Housing case study, putting their new skills into practice based on a campaign to pass a green housing ordinance through the Greenville City Council.  In one of these exercises, they must convey their message through a press event.  Participants tend to get creative with these events, but one group at our recent Camp Wellstone in Chicago may have taken the cake, rewriting the lyrics to John Mellencamp's "Little Pink Houses" and performing it for their fellow campers.

A day in Brisbane

It isn't just the thunder thighs that shrink after obesity surgery. Melting fat somehow thins bones, too. Doctors don't yet know how likely patients' bones are to thin enough to break in the years after surgery. But one of the first attempts to tell suggests they might have twice the average person's risk, and be even more likely to break a hand or foot.
