Jason Mercier pores though a lot of government records so you don't have to.
As director of the Center for Government Reform with the free-market Washington Policy Center, Mercier is especially interested in government contracting and looks through state government requests for bidders and attempts to award state contracts without using competitive bidding.
One of those sole-source contracts caught his attention last month. Gov. Chris Gregoire's budget office wanted to hire the consulting firm GMMB Inc. for six months at a cost of $400,000. The mission would be to "develop a comprehensive communications plan" to "enhance Washington's implementation of the Affordable Care Act and other health reform initiatives as identified by the governor's policy office."
The contract was posted by the state on June 21 and was to be issued by July 6. Under the state's rules for noncompetitive contracts, other bidders had five days to tell the state how they could do the same work. While a few contacted the state, none made a formal offer.
Mercier raised some good questions about the contract on his blog at washingtonpolicy.org/blog. He wondered why the state would be picking a consultant before it knew what the U.S. Supreme Court would do to the Affordable Care Act.
"It wasn't that it was a sole-source contract that caught my eye," Mercier said. "It was the fact that it was a sole-source contract a week before we knew whether we'd even be marketing a health care plan."
Office of Financial Management officials say the hurry was because federal money for the work would go away if it wasn't committed by Aug. 31. Part of the cost also would be borne by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
There was another question raised about the contract, though – a political one. The "G" in GMMB stands for Frank Greer, one of the nation's top Democratic campaign and public affairs consultants. Greer lives part-time in Washington state, and the company has offices in Seattle and Washington, D.C. He has done extensive work for Washington Democrats, including serving as the media consultant for Gregoire's 2004 campaign.
Republicans have tried to make an issue out of it, like with this Tweet from Randy Pepple, manager for Rob McKenna's campaign for governor:
Nice thank you from WA state govt to @jayinslee advisor Frank Greer – $400k to "communicate" – guess state doesn't have other priorities
Greer isn't doing any work for Inslee's Democratic campaign for governor. At least not so far. But GMMB is involved with an independent expenditure campaign called Our Washington that has been attacking McKenna and has reserved more than $3 million in local TV ad time for the fall campaign.
OFM officials deny political favoritism was involved. Greer isn't likely to be directly involved in the OFM contract. And the firm has already done work helping set up the Washington Health Benefit Exchange. This is the entity triggered by the ACA that will give people a virtual marketplace to compare and purchase individual health insurance coverage.
"Because of its recent experiences with the HBE, and leveraging work with other states, GMMB is able to meet demands under an aggressive project timeline, and do it quickly and cost effectively," OFM's proposal states.
The proposed sole-source OFM contract is separate from the previous work done for the benefit exchange under a contract awarded after a competitive process. But the fact that Greer's company has already been involved in other aspects of the Affordable Care Act made the firm a likely choice for the new work.
"GMMB had the best presentation and had been working in other states on exchanges," said health exchange spokesman Michael Marchand. The proposed OFM work may be on the same topic but covers more ground than the work done under the health exchange contract.
The OFM contract "is for getting people to understand all aspects of ACA," Marchand said. "That's a much larger undertaking than 'the Washington exchange is open and you can get insurance here.'"
But the questions raised by Mercier and others have caused the state to change course. Rather than grant a sole-source contract to Greer's firm, it will now use a more competitive process that is open to other potential contractors.
"Enough questions were raised and they wanted it to be beyond reproach," said OFM spokesman Ralph Thomas.
Mercier said GMMB may still get the contract. But at least now it will be done after a transparent process.

A girl holds her sister and her sister's vaccination certificate in a poor suburb of Nouakchott, Mauritania. |
By Fadila Hamidi and Anthea Moore
M'BOUT and NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania, 28 June 2012 – More than 500,000 children across Mauritania have benefited from a two-month campaign organized by the Ministry of Health, with support from UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO), that provided an integrated package of immunizations (including measles and polio vaccinations) and vitamin A supplementation for all Mauritanian children under 5 years old.
This preventative care is essential to building resilience in Mauritania's children, who are highly vulnerable to malnutrition and illness this year due to the Sahel nutrition crisis, which currently affects 700,000 people in the country.
Expanding life-saving care
Immunizations were undertaken at health centres and specially designated sites in urban centres. Some 1,000 health workers went door-to-door, providing oral doses of vitamin A and deworming medicine, from remote desert communities to the shanty settlements around the capital Nouakchott. In addition, more than 1,000 community outreach events promoted hand-washing with soap, birth registration and positive parenting practices.
The campaign, part of the second African Immunization Week, was launched on 28 April at the opening of a new health centre in M'Bout. Officials from the Government of Mauritania, the WHO, Counterpart International and UNICEF were welcomed with traditional music, singing and dancing as the community celebrated the prospect of improved health care.

Fatou Mint Samba, 27, attended the opening of the health centre with her youngest son Abbass, who is 7 months old, and her mother Dola Mint Masa, who laughed and said she is too old to remember her age.
Many women like Ms. Mint Samba brought their children to the health centre to receive vaccinations and vitamin supplements. They were also eager to learn more about immunization and to receive insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets to protect against malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Ms. Mint Masa lost a 5-year-old niece to measles, and has since been a strong community advocate for improved health care. "Last year there was a measles epidemic in this area. I went from door-to-door telling people to have their children vaccinated. I did this because I remember the death of my niece eight years ago," she said.
"Many of the diseases that existed during my childhood don't exist here anymore because of vaccination," she added.

Communities central to change
Preventative public health measures like immunization are both life-saving and cost-effective.
The logistical challenges of reaching remote communities in sparsely populated Mauritania are immense. And yet, excluding the cost of the vaccines and supplements, delivering this integrated package cost just 40 cents per child.
These services are particularly important during the current nutrition crisis, as malnutrition and childhood illnesses can create a vicious cycle, each increasing children's vulnerability to the other.
After the official opening of the health centre, a radio programme was broadcast from a nearby tent. The presenter asked women from the community questions about immunization and awarded prizes for correct answers. The exchanges were accompanied by smiles, laughter and more music, signs that positive change is being embraced in the community, and that community members are proud to be at the centre of that change.

We are in desperate need of a non corporate radio station with real signal that can play something more eclectic even if it isn't hip-hop or dance music. Public radio like what's found in Iowa's college cities could find a market here, but it would need to be propped up until it can take off enough to sell ads.
I still get a kick out of the radio corporate moniker of "rhythm-styled music."
cbjason wrote:I have to agree with this whole argument. My friend lives in des moines while i live in Council Bluffs. I remember visiting him when The Beat was going and loved it that des moines had something like that and was disappointed when i came back later to find out that it was gone and the KISS station wasnt that appealing.
Here in omaha we have both 94.1(pop music/top 40 type station) and Power 106.9 (hip hop and rap station), both do well and 106.9 has really exploded. 94.1 has their own local morning show while 106.9's morning show is Big Boi's show from LA but they have also brought in dj's from big cities that know how to play the right music the rest of the time and have become a big part of the community. I also lived in Tulsa a few years ago and they also started a hip hop/rap station called The Beat as well and it also did great.
Hopefully des moines will get with the program on this topic!
The station your referring to may be an exception - but most DJs no longer have much control over what songs are played, its all run by the system. Sure they may occasionally throw in a request here and there, but for the most part the computer that stores/plays the songs is programmed to play songs based on the wishes of someone (not sure of the positions title, but whoever controls what music is played).
At least that's the way it is with the few radio stations I've seen.
spacebetween wrote:I think the argument can be made that radio in general stinks these days. No matter which station you listen to there is going to be repetitive songs that are played over and over again. I have been listening to 105.1 out of Ames for some time and I really liked their rotation for the longest time, and they feature local music, which I like. But, after listening to them on the drive to and from work, the same songs always end up being played over and over again. I dont have Satellite radio, but I think that might be the best option...
Sadly, I don't believe a Hip-hop/Dance station could survive here, even after last weekends 515 Alive's strong showing. I just dont think the culture is as open to those types of music yet, which is sad in my opinion cause most of the Pop music is shifting to those genres.

When Clint Dempsey finished last season at Fulham, he proclaimed that his decision to leave the London club was in order to achieve a personal dream of playing in the Champions League of Europe. For a player of his talents, such a hope and aspiration is entirely reasonable and would be a high honor for Americans by showing their talents at the major European competition. Although moves to massive clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool failed to transpire this past summer, Dempsey eventually was transferred to Tottenham at the last minute. Does this club have what it takes for Dempsey to finally live that dream?
The current EPL season is going quite well for Tottenham, who currently sit in the cherished 4th position in the table (the lowest position awarded with Champions League soccer next year). Clint Dempsey has fit well into the side and scored several important goals, most notably a goal at Old Trafford to give Tottenham their first win at Manchester United's home in over 20 years. Additionally, he recently scored a brace and an assist in a 3-0 FA Cup victory over Coventry City.
The club has an exciting array of talented players like Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon, and Emmanuel Adebayor. On their day, they can compete with anyone in the world. In their famous Champions League appearance two seasons ago, the club reached the quarterfinals with victories over clubs like Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, and AC Milan.
Last season, the club did enough to finish 4th in the table, but were denied a spot in the tournament due to Chelsea's 6th place finish but success in winning the Champions League. Thus, Tottenham was relegated to the Europa League where they will be set to face Lyon in the first knockout round. Yes, the tournament is not quite as prestigious as the Champions League but it does provide exciting European soccer, especially in the latter rounds.
Dempsey has already proven himself in the Europa League with Fulham when he helped the club reach he 2010 final match. Along the way Dempsey secured his finest career moment when he chipped a magnificent goal against Juventus. However, he wants to take the next step and is desperate to do so with his new club.
Recent history suggests he may have to wait several seasons to achieve that dream. Tottenham has been in this position before and has often slipped late in the season outside of the vital standings. Arsenal, currently in 6th has finished ahead of Tottenham every season since 1995. Similarly the current top three clubs of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City are far too talented to slip. Everton also has been strong and occasionally competes for that 4th place finish.
Needless to say, the task will be very hard for Clint Dempsey and "The Spurs" to qualify for tournament this season. He and his teammates will have to keep up their impressive start to the season and hope a bit of fortune falls their way. Hopefully that dream will be achieved in the near future. However, one must commend Dempsey on avoiding a transfer to Liverpool, who is struggling once again in 8th position in the league.

press release
Thursday January 26, 2012 18:37 by Commissione Sindacale FdCA - Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici sindacale at fdca dot it
Against the worsening crisis - Support the workers' mobilizations - Develop solidarity and mutual aid We recognize that the strike on 27 January called by the USB, Unicobas, Orsa, SICobas, Snater and USI unions is an opportunity for this renewal of the ability to mobilize of the workers' movement in Italy and as anarchist communists, we declare our solidarity with the workers of all kinds and with all those who join the strike and participate in the demonstration in Rome on Friday 27 January. [Italian] Grassroots syndicalist general strike on 27 JanuaryAgainst the worsening crisisSupport the workers' mobilizations Develop solidarity and mutual aid 2012 has opened without too many worries for those in Italy who hold 50% of the country's wealth, that is to say the 10% of the well-off who are part of the 1% of rich people throughout the world that prevents 99% of the world's population from accessing its wealth. Globalization has thus been a success, in the sense of global impoverishment. And Italian workers are now beginning to see the seriousness of the situation. With the support of a huge majority in Parliament and to the shame of certain trade unions who no longer have Berlusconi on their side, the Monti techno-government has closely followed the script written by the European Union and re-established the harshness of the class reality: the dominant, exploiting classes will not be paying anything, the dominated, exploited classes will have to pay for everything: they will pay the public debt, they will pay for social services, they will pay for assistance and healthcare in order to save themselves and the country. This rescue will not cost anything for our entrepreneurs, financers, bankers and the tax-evasion economy, whose profits and goods have not suffered loss of any kind. The so-called Phase 1 of the Monti techno-government has now come to a close with an enormous draining of financial resources, taken from waged workers, pensioners and home-owners (of a single house). In the meantime any chance for an increase in wages has been blocked with a freeze on public sector agreements, despite rising inflation, and with the cancellation of the national collective agreement by FIAT and the metalworkers sector. This unilateral, parallel and interconnected action on the part of Marchionne and Confindustria introduces into the context of acute crisis an element that is not so much simply the taking of our money, but the taking of our freedom and the dignity of workers, our right to organize ourselves in the workplace, to protest, to strike. Punishment and dismissals will be the fate of anyone who does not buckle down. And this is the basis on which the government's so-called Phase 2 lies. So then, 2012 opens with a great many worries for everyone in Italy who still lives on a steady wage, or indeed an unsteady wage because they live on short-term job contracts and redundancy pay. The Monti techo-government is now getting to grips with its second executive order: easy dismissals and privatizations. This is a matter of re-writing the Workers' Statute and in particular art. 18, by raising the threshold for easy dismissals, or eliminating the obligation to apply the national collective agreement in the railways. As far as liberalization is concerned, there is the plan to push public services of a certain economic importance onto the market, by reducing so-called "in-house" management. This is perhaps the aspect that interests the government most, although it hides behind the liberalization of taxi services, pharmacies, newsagents', etc. In these years of a crisis which is sure to be long and aggressive, the response from the people and the workers has been discontinuous and disunited, with mobilizations alternating between those with massive participation and those with little. We know there is no mechanical connection between a capitalist crisis and renewed class struggle. It is for this reason that the mobilizations and the struggles that are proposed must be supported and made the most of, despite our being aware of the limits that they often have, due to their partial nature or the lack of a clear project for workers' unity and unifying objectives. The world of combative syndicalism, in particular, made up of workers who still want to play a first-hand role individually and collectively in the protection of their rights and in formulating demands in their workplaces and in their communities - whatever organization they belong to - is the best placed to begin this action to re-launch, re-motivate and protect grassroots union activity, to express their clear social, proletarian opposition to the crisis, while at the same time build a struggle front that can really face up to the situation. It is also necessary for them to act in order to soften the blows of the crisis, by developing forms of solidarity and mutual aid between workers, through eco-solidarity networks in the community. We recognize that the strike on 27 January called by the USB, Unicobas, Orsa, SICobas, Snater and USI unions is an opportunity for this renewal of the ability to mobilize of the workers' movement in Italy and as anarchist communists, we declare our solidarity with the workers of all kinds and with all those who join the strike and participate in the demonstration in Rome on Friday 27 January. We have along period of crisis ahead of us; there are already plans for other mobilizations, such as the FIOM demonstration on 11 February. But we need the involvement of all the grassroots opposition forces. Workers' unity!Social front against the crisis! Labour Commission Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici23 January 2012 |

Finding Bread and Angels in Syria
In Syria, after 9/11, author Stephanie Saldana encounters a multi-ethnic country of many faiths, quite the opposite of the Axis of Evil portrayed by George Bush. And as she embarks on a spiritual quest, she discovers something quite unexpected. Poet Naomi Shihab Nye says Saldana's book The Bread of Angels is "a love letter to the Middle East and to one's own entire life, replete with doubt and fear, faith and deep connection."

A Lecture with Annie Murphy Paul - Origins: How the Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives
Recent scientific data suggests that low birthweight babies have a 5 times higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. In light of these discoveries, many politicians are still pushing to cut programs promoting maternal health, such as WIC - Women, Infants and Children program. Bread and Roses host Ashley Thirstrup brings you a special lecture by Annie Murphy Paul, author of Origins: How the Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives. She'll tell us how she ventures into the laboratories of fetal researchers, interviews experts from around the world, and delves into the rich history of ideas about how we are shaped before birth.

Justin Bieber caught smoking pot, says TMZ
The Associated Press
Let the Justin Bieber Big Pot Scandal of 2013 begin.
Days after a paparazzo was killed while trying to take pictures of Bieber's Ferrari, photos have emerged of the 18-year-old singer smoking what looks a lot like a marijuana cigarette at a big party inside a Newport Beach hotel room Wednesday, says TMZ.
TMZ claims it obtained the snaps of Bieber holding an alleged blunt and laughing with friends, including 19-year-old rapper Lil Twist, who was driving Bieber's car at the time the paparazzo was killed on a highway in Los Angeles on Jan. 1. According to sources at the party, Lil Twist and his brother were the ones dishing out the pot to guests.
After the photos surfaced, Bieber took to Twitter, where he has 32.7 million followers, to issue an apology of sorts, AP reported.
"Everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up," AP says he wrote last night. "Back on tour tomorrow. ready to see u all smile. time to do what im supposed to be doing. performing. #BELIEVEtour."
Those messages were not available on Twitter this morning.
TMZ reported last week that the photographer who was struck by a car and killed while trying to photograph Bieber's car told colleagues he saw the singer smoking pot earlier that day.

Hello everybody, sorry for my bad english.
I am actually trying to access local EJBs with Spring. My application is running under glassfish.
When I don't use Spring, the @EJB annotation allows me to access them. But apparently, I have not this comportment when my classes are loaded by Spring (I really don't understand why). So I try to acccess them by using the <jee:local-slsb> tab, and for the jndi-name, I have tried "java:comp/env/XX" and "XX" where XX is the mapped name of the EJB (@Stateless ( name="...", mappedName = "XX").
I just precise that I have no problem to access remote EJB on glassfish with this method.
But for local ones, I have a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException. I don't find any solution.
Does someone have already had this problem and knows how to solve it?
Or just any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

4) games will be standard roller hockey rules (ie. 4 on 4, etc..)

7) teams may dress 12 skaters and 2 goalies but may carry 18 skaters and 3 goalies on their roster
8) teams will only play teams in reasonable travel distance from their home base. (ie. a team in Toronto will not play a team in Florida during the regular season).
9) the league will be played from until august
The website for the league will be up withing the next month or so. If you are interested in your organization joing the league, please e-mail me at [email protected] and I will give you more details.(ie. team entrance fee, etc..)

1. | pansexuality | ||
One who can love sexuality in many forms. Like bisexuality, but even more fluid, a pansexual person can love not only the traditional male and female genders, but also transgendered, androgynous, and gender fluid people. The pansexual support group meeting opened with each person stating their gender identity.
2. | pansexuality | ||
A form of sexuality often confused or intermeshed in definition with bisexualaty (an attraction towards both physical sexes: male and female). Pansexuality is, in truth, a much broader form of sexual orientation, in which the pansexual individual experiences sexual attraction towards members of ALL genders (not to be confused with sexes, which is purely physical--gender has to do with the psychological), including transgender, transsexual, cross dressing, androgyne, androgen, two-spirited, gender-fliud, and all other variety of gender identitfications, as well as those who do not feel that they have a gender. 1. Gordon's pansexuallity is manifested in that his girlfriend is a transgender woman.
2. Becca's pansexuality is manifested in that her significant other is two-spirited. 3. Brian loves his significant other regardless of gender--which is a good thing, since zie does not HAVE one. Brian's significant other is lucky to have met a pansexual to love. |
3. | pansexuality | ||
Pansexuality includes all kinds of sexuality that can exist in a human being, tendencies that may prevail either permanently or occasionally.
By Peter Boom Human beings, by nature must be, "pansexual" (from the Greek, Pan = all) a complete sexual person. We all possess various sexual possibilities generally classified as heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, autoerotic, fetishist, sado-masochistic, etc. These tendencies in our nature can come out at any time, according to the development of each individual. Children are born polimorphoperverse; the curiosity of discovery leads them to play with their mothers, touch their genitals, masturbate and investigate their excretia. Later, as they develop, they play games of "doctor" as they explore the bodies and functions of their friends. All this is perfectly natural. During puberty their ambivalence is natural and undeniable as they adapt to life as an adult. Only later does their sexual proclivity become more crystallized and definite, although the range of options remain open. These options are partially repressed or are made taboo, according to the society in which they live. There's a tribe in Borneo in which the women live with their children in a huge hut, while men live apart from them. In Kenya there's a nomadic tribe of proud long-living people who have the custom of coupling boys of twelve in a ritual of blood-mixing. These male couples remain faithful to each other all their lives, wandering far off together, returning to the tribe once or twice a year in order to procreate with the women. Th... |
4. | Pansexuality | ||
People who have sexual relationships with kitchenware. Vale ; Mary is so pansexual
Bob ; Yeah, its because she cant get any, except in her kitchen. PANSEXUALITY. |
5. | pansexuality | ||
"pan" means "all" so it's the thought that all forms of sexual activity are equally good and fulfilling. Many consider it weird or even creepy. Includes masturbation, necrophilia, beastiality, adultery, fetishism, and many other things. "That guy follows pansexuality, it creeps me out."
"Why? It's completely normal." |

Kid Rock's May 12 concert with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will use a paperless ticket system, organizers announced Monday — the latest effort by Rock to thwart the reselling of tickets on secondary markets.
Tickets for the fundraiser, which aims to raise $1 million for the DSO, go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. They will be available at price points of $100, $150, $250 and $350, and VIP packages — which go up to $1,500 and include access to an after party — will be offered as well.
Fans will not receive physical tickets for the event; rather, on the day of the show, they will be asked to present the credit card they used to purchase the tickets, as well as a government-issued photo ID, to gain entry into the concert. All members of the party for whom the ticket buyer purchased tickets must be present to gain entry into the concert.

Children are disreputable for being spirited, interested and impetuous, which can result in actions that parents find challenging. When your own 2- or 3-year-old kid is noisy, loud or destructive, the fact that his peers behave similarly compromises little coziness. While it's true that numerous of your kid's actions are a normal part of his growth, appreciative what drives him to perform the way he prepares will help you cope and return efficiently.
Kids often express their irritation and obstruction through irritability. Your kid's blaring, crying and foot tramping are often in reply to being told "no." Excruciating outbursts reflect your kid's professed incapability to control his environments. When your infant is in the midst of a fit, making eye communication with him, taking hold of his indicator and speaking to him in a quiet voice can help him quiet down. Sustaining his anxieties when he's raging sends him the note that his actions are operative, so it's improved to entertain your kid with a soothing activity. Once he's recuperated regulator of himself, remind him why you had to reject him and his desire.
Corporeal Violence
Biting, beating, itching, pinching and hair pulling can be troubling, but it's no quirk that young kids who lack verbal assistance often engross in such actions. According to ECCE , a kid's hands and mouth are his first societal tools, so it's not astonishing your toddler wants to investigate with them. Escaping activates, the conditions often leading your kid to stroke out substantially, is the best anticipation. You can liberate your kid from hypothetically impulsive conditions if you know that over-tiredness, hunger, over-stimulation or hindrance reliably trigger his hostile performance. When your kid does use his hands, mouth or feet to injure others, punctually pulling him sideways and reminding him inflexibly that "we don't behave that way" is often adequate to stop the aberrant behavior. Keeping your message humble and speaking peacefully is most nominal with kids.
Unfriendly Ways
Toddlers often take on habits their parents consider unfriendly, such as hair winding, thumb extracting, nose picking or noisy eating. As exasperating as they may be, such toddler habits aren't always detrimental to a child's health and well-being. In fact, your toddler might engage in a certain behavior to relax or deal with stressful situations. As noted by Montessori Course, taking away your kid's comparatively inoffensive stress-reliever may motivate him to engage in more difficult actions. Many unpleasant habits vanish on their own, but if your kid's habit causes him physical damage or results in mocking from siblings or peers, you may want to interfere. Noting what conditions trigger your kid's characteristic performance, eliminating likely stressors, signifying auxiliary actions and contributing motivations are all authentic, healthy ways to break your kid's habit when essential.
Although slight performance difficulties are shared and normal in kids, they must never be entirely overlooked. Sometimes, discussion with an expert is necessary. A kid's failure to learn self-control in the year's primary up to grade school can have severe long-term significances. Authors of the training concluded that kids who do not learn to regulate hostile behavior before entering school seem to be at superior hazard of attractive in serious violent actions as youths and adults.

The developmental model of Ken Wilber uses the concept of fulcrums. A fulcrum is basically "a fork in the road of human development", where we leave the old way of seeing the world behind. He identifies nine main Fulcrums or milestones. We'll cover them all in other posts. But first, here's a short introduction.
Development isn't rigidly linear, but a process of embedding a worldview, integrating it with what we've developed so far, and then transcending the old ways of meaning making for something new that includes all the old but adds a new capacity. There are times when we see things in old ways, and there are tantalizing glimpses of a deeper and broader view that may seem fleeting. But as we grow, the next level becomes more reliably present for us, until the next level is our ground of being; it becomes embedded, and that's largely the way we see the world now.
One analogy is learning to run. First we walk, wobbly and without confidence. We fall down often, remain back at the 'sitting and crawling' stage until we are moved to try to walk again. Eventually we walk competently. Then we try running, and persist until we can do that well. We can still walk (and we can still sit and still crawl), but now we can also run: we have transcended walking, but walking is included for the rest of our lives.
Here are Wilber's 9 Fulcrums:
F1 – physical self. Usually up to about 5-9 months.
F2 – emotional self. Usually up to about 15-24 months.
F3 – self concept. Usually up to about age 7.
F4 – role self. Usually up to about age 11-14.
F5 – formal-reflexive or mature ego. Most people develop at least to this stage, but some don't. Most people who develop to this level remain here for the rest of their lives. But some people develop further.
F6 – centaur or vision logic, integrative
F7 – psychic
F8 – subtle
F9 – causal
I'll cover all of these fulcrums in other posts. We'll spend more time on F4-F6, because these are the levels we are likely to encounter in the people we work with every day.

Ginger kids have red hair, pail faces, and freckels.Ginger kids do not play sports. SO if you have red hair, pail faces, and freckels and play football or hockey you not ginger.Most ginger kids like balls and lots of dick in their mouth. Justin is not only a ginger kid he is also a fag
1. | ginger kid | ||
Someone who has red hair, pale skin and sometimes freckles. Being a ginger often makes the person a target for discrimination. Many gingers have a very short temper so it is a fairly good idea to not piss them off. Ginger kids also have the characteristic red pubic hair, which is where the name firecrotch comes from. Lastly, because of their low melanin content gingers usually get bad sunburn if they sit out in the sun for too long. However, this doesn't mean that they can't go out in the sun or that they are afraid of it. And they do have souls. The other day I started to make fun of this ginger kid so he broke my legs and killed my family.
2. | ginger kid | ||
Kids with red hair and pale skin and freckles. It is a severe and irreversible medical condition. Sun makes the situation must worse. Genetic research has revealed that the "ginger gene" is indicative of an underlying curse. Ginger kids have no soul. Ginger kids are evil. Discrimination has led to the "Red Power" movement. Their parents lie to them, telling them "each freckle is a kiss from an angel." If you marry an Asian, you can not have a ginger kid. They have fire crotch. Gingervitis is contagious and transmitted by ginger kids. (note: This description does not apply to Lindsay Lohan because she is hot.) Wes Bergmann (MTV's Real World Austin)is an ugly ginger kid that also has many scabs.
3. | Ginger Kid | ||
Red haired kid with freckles and white skin. These children are normal and the best in the world and will dominate the human race. Wow i shouldn't of called that red head a ginger kid he will now torcher me because he is the master human on Earth.
4. | Ginger Kid | ||
A nerdy looking kid who has pale skin with freckles splattering their face with candy red hair. Usually the kid is an asshole. that kid over there is a ginger kid.

5. | Ginger Kid | ||
A kid that is "Blessed" with red hair of any shade, white skin, and many freckles that are told to be "kisses from an angel" Me:Whoa! Look at that Ginger Kid!
NonGinger:*shutters* They creep me out. For more information, watch south park episode 911 |
6. | ginger kid | ||
Ginger kids are people with red hair, pale skin, and freckles. They were first brought to the world's attention in a South Park episode titled "Ginger Kids". Ginger kids have no soul, much like vampires.
People with red hair but no light skin or freckles are Day Walkers. That Lauren girl is a ginger kid. "Hey, Gingy!"

Awesome Been trying to find this Reindeer Outfit for several years, with no luck. Coming home from Disney World in early December, I found it in SKYMALL Magazine! What a wonderful way to end a magicical trip. See, the Magic continues to happen........The reindeer outfit is easy to install and I have received many comments from people wanting to know where they could purchase a set for their car.Highly reccommend (But you gotta have a sense of humor to really enjoy them!!) January 9, 2013
Flying thru the air My two grown kids were not as excited as I was when I gave them the antlers, but they put them on their cars anyway and the grandkids LOVED them. My grandson said Nana, we are flying like Roudolf huh? People stopped them to find out where they got them, I was a hero :) January 9, 2013
A fun purchase I bought several pair for my girl friends. The reindeer look is so cute and made us feel happy. When we gathered a ones house our cars looked like a herd of reindeer wanting on Santa . We are all in our mid 70'sYoung. January 9, 2013
Reindeer Spotted in LaPorte! My "Reindeer-mobile" was the hit of the streets in my small Indiana town. People waved, honked, smiled and one almost went over the curb! The car decoration of antlers and a nose were perfect on a MiniCooper. I even added a dangling reindeer to my rearview mirror. And of course my dogs wore antlers (albeit unwillingly!).

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will remain in limbo over the weekend, after a federal jury ended its first day of deliberations in his corruption trial Friday without reaching a verdict.
The jury convening in Greensboro, North Carolina, was dismissed for the day around 3:30 p.m. Friday. The court, and the jury, is set to reconvene Monday.
Edwards is charged with six counts of accepting illegal campaign contributions, conspiracy and falsifying documents. If convicted of all charges, he faces up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine.
Prosecutors said Edwards "knowingly and willingly" accepted nearly $1 million in contributions from two wealthy donors to hide former mistress Rielle Hunter and her pregnancy, and then concealed the donations from the public by filing false and misleading campaign disclosure reports.
Edwards was running for president at the time and knew that his political ambitions depended on keeping his affair with Hunter a secret, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Higdon told jurors in closing arguments Thursday.
"There is no question it would destroy the campaign of John Edwards," he said.
Defense attorneys, meanwhile, argued that Edwards was guilty of nothing but being a bad husband to his wife, Elizabeth, who has since died. They also argued that former Edwards aide Andrew Young used the money for his own gain and to pay for Hunter's medical expenses to hide the affair from Edwards' wife.
Neither Edwards nor Hunter testified during the four-week trial.
Prosecutors argued that Edwards knowingly violated campaign finance laws by accepting the large contributions from Fred Baron and Rachel Mellon that went to support Hunter, Higdon said.
"He knew these rules well," he said.
