		<description><![CDATA[by Ryan Karben

With the New York Times reporting on stoned seniors forsaking shuffleboard for bong hits, you might think New York's government is chillin' too. Polls show that nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers think smoking weed in public should be a violation, not a misdemeanor. 51% of the state's voters back full legalization of marijuana. Approval numbers for "medical marijuana" are even higher.

But unlike gun control and marriage equality-- where lawmakers acted decisively on issues that normally give risk-averse legislators heartburn-- the apparent consensus across party, geography and race for more liberal drug laws is stuck in Albany's legislative rut.]]></description>

According to the most recent reports, Nelson Mandela’s health is improving, but his condition is still serious. I spent the entire week leading up to Father’s Day thinking about South Africa’s first democratically elected President. Mandela and my father are about the same age. Just this January, my father was hospitalized for a week with a lung infection similar to the one that Mandela is fighting.

Having lived in South Africa for two years in the 90s, I was privileged to meet Mandela and some of the men who served time with him during the 27 years of captivity that preceded his presidency. Here are two illuminating anecdotes about Mandela that I meditated on this Father’s Day weekend.]]></description>

For more than a decade I flew all over the world for work, usually with a folding travel bike along with me. I've ridden in the majority of the states in our country including Alaska and Hawaii as well as in Canada, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Beijing.

With very few exceptions, the riding in New York State is some of the worst, least cycling friendly and difficult anywhere.]]></description>

Remember the sequester and all of the headlines it got back in March? Seems like all of the bellyaching was for nothing -- and life seems to have gone on Just Fine for most of us. That's of course, after the immovable Congress decided to adjust some rules so that the FAA had the latitude to give airlines some altitude.

Well it turns out that not everyone who was affected by the sequester worked in the moving "Congressman and Senators around the country" business. In fact, a small group of constituents impacted by Headstart cuts don't even have their own lobbyist! But have no fear, someone is looking out for this "tiny" minority.]]></description>

"In college, I graduated with a BS in Chemistry, but I had a strong interest in studio art and decided to take figure drawing and clay figure modeling. In my junior year at Tufts University, I enrolled in a stone carving class at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. That evening class changed my life."]]></description>
