Will county commissioners let developers spoil aquatic preserve and destroy wildlife habitat on the Little Manatee River?
Developers want to kill 250 trees and bulldoze wildlife habitat, spoiling a breathtakingly beautiful part of the Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve, just to build eight houses where they don't belong: on a fragile, skinny mangrove-lined sand-spit, sticking out into the middle of the Little Manatee River at Mill Bayou. It's hard to imagine a worse place to build houses than in the middle of the Little Manatee River — an undammed, dynamic, tidal river that floods frequently. This little spit (only 300 feet wide!) is sometimes completely underwater, and yanking out the trees and vegetation would only make it more vulnerable to storm damage and erosion.

Homeless in St. Petersburg, Part 2: Health care
Linda Mariano is 57 years old and 95 percent deaf. She can see without glasses, she says, but she can’t read without them. Pyorrhea has rotted away most of her teeth. She has a hole in her skull the size of a silver dollar, where she was hit in the head with a brick at the age of 17 (“or 18”). She's been homeless with her boyfriend for the last seven years. They're both disabled, but were turned down for Medicaid three times. They went to the Health Department to see a doctor, and were told that they couldn’t get a primary care physician because they didn’t have an address. I talked to Linda for over an hour the other night, sitting on the sidewalk outside the Open Air Post Office in St. Petersburg, where she and Bobby sleep.

Even if an individual makes measurable progress while using multipurpose technology, Medicare and Medicaid will not cover it — because it is multipurpose.

My so-called pregnancy: an abortion story (part one)
1 in 3 American women will have an abortion in her lifetime. This is a huge number which likely includes many women close to you, yet few ever talk about their experiences. Where are the personal accounts?
