We at Susty observe the day by taking note of one of today's headlines found in the Telegraph concerning a transexual embroiled in an Italian political sex scandal who burned to death. ]]> http://susty.com/political-sex-scandal-death-transgender-day-of-remembrance-10th-annual-murder-crime/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/late-night-tv-comedy-writers-guys-few-women-male-dominated-career-television-show-staff/ http://susty.com/late-night-tv-comedy-writers-guys-few-women-male-dominated-career-television-show-staff/#comments Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:38:33 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7719 Daily Show for Comedy Central back in 1996, as well as from top women writers who have staffed the shows of Conan, Colbert and David Letterman.]]> http://susty.com/late-night-tv-comedy-writers-guys-few-women-male-dominated-career-television-show-staff/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/simran-sethi-oprah-greening-green-girl-blog-eco-home-green-remodel-renovation-makeover/ http://susty.com/simran-sethi-oprah-greening-green-girl-blog-eco-home-green-remodel-renovation-makeover/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:37:30 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=8280 first post over at Oprah.com, a gem of a home.

The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4
