Another amazing Birchbox upcycle courtesy of our friends in Spain!
A few months ago, we asked all you Birchboxers what you do with your old boxes after you've emptied them. Unsurprisingly, you have some pretty creative ideas. This month, we were super excited to see an email from Birchboxer Annie Takeoka who has been a member since March and has endless ideas about ways to use them. Keep reading for all of her suggestions and then click through to her blog for more DIY ideas.
Use #1:
I recently got married and had so many thank you cards to make and write. I recycled a Birchbox and used it to carry all my supplies to and from work everyday. During my breaks, I pulled out the box and worked on the cards. Having everything in one small, CUTE box made it so easy!
It's time — June's boxes are out the door! Get excited!
Everywhere we look this April, we're bombarded with messages about the importance of being more environmentally friendly. We think it's just as important to make sustainable choices that we can stick with all year round. We're not ready to completely overhaul our makeup drawer (although more power to you if you're able to!), but we are integrating our favorite organic products into our routine and making smarter choices while we shop.
You probably noticed that all the samples in your April Birchbox were Earth-friendly, but what you might not know is that all our boxes and the materials inside them (tissue, cards) are recyclable as well. Instead of tossing out your box every month, why not repurpose or "upcycle" (a term we're borrowing from one of our subscribers, Anna of My Thread of Thought) them into something fun or useful?
We've seen a few ideas but we know there are more out there. Whether you're using them to create custom gift boxes for your friends, store your makeup brushes, or create something totally awesome that we haven't even thought of yet, we want to know! Send a picture of the ways you're reusing your birchboxes to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Recycle." We'll feature our favorites here on the blog. Happy Earth Month!

The Takeaway: Cain Wants Chilean-Style Private Pensions in U.S.; Long-Term Care Insurance Program DOA
Posted By Elizabeth Nolan Brown On October 17, 2011 @ 8:26 am In Bulletin Today | Comments Disabled
[1]Cain Plan Calls For Private Pensions: Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is touting an alternative to Social Security based on the private retirement account model used in Chile. While fellow GOP hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have been busy slamming one another's plans for dealing with Social Security yet remaining vague about their own ideas, Cain is at least showing some leadership on the issue of retirement security. But is a Chilean-style private pension model feasible-or desirable-in the United States?
I believe in the Chilean model," Cain said in a GOP debate Sept. 7. "Chile had a broken system the way we did 30 years ago. A worker was paying 28 cents on a dollar into a broken system. They finally awakened and put in a system where the younger workers could have a choice … Give them a choice with an account with their name on it and over time we would eliminate the current broken system that we have."
In Chile, the Associated Press reports [2], all workers contribute 10 percent of their salaries to private pension plans; contributions are mandatory. Before this system was launched in 1981, workers were paying nearly a third of their incomes into a Social Security-like system that was going bankrupt. Now, all new employees must contribute 10 percent of their first $33,360 in yearly income to one of five private investment funds (ranging from safe bonds to riskier stocks). Women can begin taking their pensions-which are considered the private property of each Chilean-at age 60, men at 65. They can take the money in installments, or all at once, and anything leftover upon their death can be inherited by family members.
However-concerns about leaving retirement savings vulnerable to the stock market aside-such a plan would be 'impossible' for the United States, said Alejandro Micco, former chief economist with Chile's finance ministry, in Bloomberg Businessweek [3]. To change from a system like Social Security to a private pension system "you either need to have a very big fiscal surplus to pay retirees without income from workers, or go into debt."
No CLASS: The Obama administration has decided that one part of the health care reform law, a long-term care insurance program known as the CLASS Act [4](Community Living Assistance Services and Support), will be too expensive and difficult to implement. The Department of Health and Human Services said Friday that it was ditching the plan [5], which would have set up a voluntary, long-term care insurance program for Americans. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said there was no way to make the program financially feasible at this time.
"We're disappointed that the Secretary has prematurely stated she does not see a path forward to properly implement CLASS," said AARP's Joyce A. Rogers, Senior Vice President for Government Affairs. "In fact, the CLASS actuarial report established that CLASS can still be designed to be a 'value proposition,' although development work still needs to be done. We urge the Administration to continue dialogue and development of a viable path forward."

Huh, interesting. I may find some time to play this a bit then... that's the problem, there are plenty of other games I want to play and I just don't enjoy typical MMO gameplay.
|Zach Grant
Anyone know a date when this starts?
|Adam Bishop
I played the LOTRO beta for a bit and found it fun, but I just have no interest in paying a subscription to play a game so I stopped once it was released. I'll definitely be checking this out, and I hope more MMOs go this route in the future.
|Jeremy Reaban
From a player's point of view - these games first start off by expanding the userbase (which is good). But once that stagnates, it slowly becomes a case of extracting all the revenue you possibly can from the existing player base. And squeezing them tight.
For instance, making all new areas so difficult that you need to buy buffing items from the cash shop. Pretty much SOP in F2P games for content past a certain level (usually the initial level cap)
|Jonathan Osment
This never results in good game design, rather design with a focus on extracting revenue. I also believe the communities (quality) of these games end up taking a hit.
|Samuel Wissler
I have high hopes for this change. I bought a lifetime subscription for LOTRO when it first game out, but I ended up not playing that much because my friends played WoW and I couldn't handle two MMOs at the same time.
I keep planning on going back to it because it's such a great game, but it's one of those situations where you go back and all of the content for your characters is a ghost town. I hope a lot of people will try this game now. I definitely plan on starting again as soon as the free to play change hits so that I can have people to level with.
If you haven't played this game yet, I definitely recommend giving it a try once it's free to play.
|Matthew Mouras
ugh! And I just got into this game a month ago and bought a years subscription. Ah well... I'm sure they are nice people at Turbine and can put the money to good use.
|Joe Random
IMO this game bombed because there was no PVP in it worth a damn.

(NASHVILLE SKYLINE is a column by CMT/CMT.com Editorial Director Chet Flippo.)
Change comes slowly to country music. For a good example, take the Country Music Association Awards. The winners turn over slowly, like autumn leaves scuttling before the chill of a winter wind. Temporary change is always nominally welcome, but lasting change is very gradual. Country has a stable core of stars, and newcomers face a daunting task of breaking through the ranks of waiting candidates.
Case in point: this year's CMA nominees. The nominated songs and albums change entirely from year to year; the principals don't. Tradition plays a huge part in loyal country fans' lives. A majority of country fans and artists do revere tradition and history. A surprising number, for example, still remember the Carter Family, whose first important recordings were made 82 years ago.
But, the point is, you could doze off during one year's awards show, somehow sleep for two years or so there in front of the TV, and when you awoke, you wouldn't immediately notice anything different. You'd be looking at mostly the same artists and hearing similar music. There is much to be said in favor of that because it's a big reason why country music is so loved by its loyal fans. Still, new blood is needed from time to time. So, whattya got in the way of fresh plasma this year?
Not a whole lot. Let's start with the big one, entertainer of the year. Four of last year's nominees are back -- Kenny Chesney (the 2007 winner), Brad Paisley, George Strait and Keith Urban. In what is an injection of new blood, Sugarland replaces Rascal Flatts as a nominee this year. A major development? Yes, because of Flatts' huge popularity. What does it mean? Hard to say what motivates all the voters (who are industry professional members of the CMA), but obviously many favor some fresh and new group energy here. And Sugarland have provided that, in a huge way.
In the female vocalist category, four of the 2007 nominees return -- Alison Krauss, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood (the winner). This year, Taylor Swift replaces Reba McEntire. Swift has moved very quickly from audacious newcomer to country veteran. Krauss is a marvelous singer, one who has always been ignored by country radio, although she has won seven CMA awards. This has not been a hugely active year for McBride.
Again, in the male vocalist category, four of last year's candidates repeat -- Chesney, Paisley (the winner), Strait and Urban. Veteran Alan Jackson replaces last year's relative newcomer, Josh Turner, who had a fairly inactive year. Jackson had a successful album, single and video, and he is a cherished country regular. A lot of people wonder, justifiably so, why Trace Adkins isn't here this year.
The new artist category last year was called the Horizon Award. I'm not real clear on why it was changed -- something about "horizon" coming to be associated with "new" or something. I'm just not sure. Taylor Swift won it last year, when she was truly a new artist. So there you go. Three nominees repeat from last year: Jason Aldean (who is not technically new), Rodney Atkins (ditto) and Kellie Pickler (also ditto). Lady Antebellum and James Otto replace last year's nominees Little Big Town and Swift. I think this is sort of coming to be the award for emerging-artists-who-may-have-had-success-but-haven't-yet-won-a-CMA-award. Works for me.
It's such a thinly-populated category that all five of last year's nominees repeat in the vocal duo category -- Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Sugarland (the winner) and the Wreckers. Brooks & Dunn were created in 1991 and have won this award 14 times since (with only Montgomery Gentry and Sugarland breaking their string). Big & Rich were inactive this year. The Wreckers are no longer an active duo at all. So, were all these nominees thoroughly vetted? Doesn't seem so, when we have a duo that doesn't even exist anymore receive a nomination. Nominated for what?
Three groups repeat in the vocal group category this year: Emerson Drive, Little Big Town and Rascal Flatts (the 2007 winner). Gone are Alison Krauss & Union Station and the Dixie Chicks. Replacing them are the Eagles and Lady Antebellum. What can I say? The latter are a fine young group, and the Eagles have been influencing all of modern country since their formation in 1971 and their first charted country single in 1975. They were nominated for this award in 1976 and 1977 but have never won. And, over the past year, they have the biggest-selling country album with Long Road Out of Eden.
One big development this year was Trace Adkins' first nominations in 10 years, for single and video for the song "You're Gonna Miss This" (also nominated for song of the year, an award that goes to writer and publisher). So why has he been out of voters' minds for so long? What brought him back? I would venture to guess that Adkins' sterling performance on network television's The Celebrity Apprentice made country music look so good that a lot of voters sort of woke up and decided it was time to make amends and set things straight.
One consideration before you start to express your outrage as to what albums and singles weren't nominated this year: The eligibility period is from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. So, my favorite 2008 album thus far this year, Jamey Johnson's That Lonesome Song, was ineligible because of its August 2008 release date.
Say what you will about the CMA awards (and I have in the past). Year in and year out, these awards are overall the most solid and accurate indicator of what's working and valid and good in country music.

Republicans rally troops for election year
Sandy • It looked like a scene from the movie "Patton," with the leader standing in front of a giant U.S. flag to address the troops.
And Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a potential presidential candidate and tea party darling, rallied a vast army of Utah Republicans into a cheering frenzy Friday at the South Towne Convention Center as they prepare for political war this election year.
"We are seeing extraordinary threats to our liberty," Cruz said. "I am absolutely positive we're going to turn this country around."
He and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus headlined the three-hour-plus rally with Utah GOP leaders as part of the Western Republican Leadership Conference here this week, a day before the Utah Republican Convention at the same site.
Cruz had more than 1,000 Republicans screaming out replies to a series of questions.
"Can we retake the U.S. Senate?" The crowd yelled in unison, "Yes we can."
They did the same as he asked, "Can we abolish the IRS [Internal Revenue Service]," "Can we repeal Obamacare," and "Can we bring back morning in America," President Ronald Reagan's mantra.
Cruz said the Obama administration is "trying to violate each and every one of our constitutional rights."
For example, he said Obama has violated privacy by spying on citizens. He told the crowd, "Leave your cell phones on. I want to make sure President Obama hears every word we say."
He complained Obama ignores laws he dislikes.
"President Obama is the most lawless president this country has ever seen" by ignoring immigration, drug and welfare laws.
"We need to stand for liberty," Cruz said. "We need to champion growth and opportunity."
If the crowd gets its way, Cruz might be in the White House in 2016. He was told he won the Western Republican Leadership Conference presidential straw poll by with 39 percent of its vote on Friday.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, a close ally of Cruz, said, "God gave us … freedoms. Washington took them away. And we're trying to take them back."
RNC Chairman Priebus told gathered Republicans, "If we could duplicate Utah … we wouldn't have any problems."
He said that in too many states, Republicans only show up during presidential election years a few months before the election — but Utah Republicans work hard constantly to identify voters and push their message.
He urged the rally to continue that work. "We are in a battle for freedom in this country. That's what is at stake."
He added, "We're the party of freedom and equality and opportunity. It's the other side that has the shameful history, not us. But we don't talk about it. But it's about time that we do."
"Are we ready to take back the country" Gov. Gary Herbert asked to cheers. "It starts right here in Utah. We are the example for the other states." He added, "We the people, not the government, are the solution to our problems."
"Utah is a net exporter of conservatism and Republicanism," said Utah Republican Party Chairman James Evans. "In Utah we do it right, we get it right, because we're on the right."
Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist said, "The left is not made up of friends and allies. It is made up of competing parasites. If we don't let them eat taxpayers, they will cheerfully chew on the guy next to them."
Congressional candidate Mia Love urged work and action, saying, "If you are not going to stand up and make your voice heard, you stand the chance of someone inferior doing it for you — and we are not inferior…. We are not going away and we are taking our country back."
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes told a dinner crowd before the rally, "We as the Republican Party are the true party of success. We are the real harbingers of hope because at the core we are the party of true and correct principles, constitutional and conservative principles."
He said those values include "smaller government, states' rights, fiscal discipline, free enterprise, free markets, lower taxes, strong national defense the right to keep and bear arms, protection of life and traditional families."

The 25 Most Powerful Songs of the Past 25 Years. By Jennifer Drapkin, Kevin O'Donnell and Ky Henderson They're not the most beautiful songs, or the most musically important.
In fact, a few could literally drive you nuts. But the following tunes—some as old as Mozart, others as current as Beyonce? —have fundamentally altered the world we live in at some point in the last quarter century. They've saved lives, brought glory to America, and gotten teenagers to use deodorant. Weird sea creatures discovered in Antarctic. A new species of yeti crab piles around the hydrothermal vents in Antarctica.
NERC ChEsSo Consortium Scientists doing their first exploring of deep-sea vents in the Antarctic have uncovered a world unlike anything found around other hydrothermal vents, one populated by new species of anemones, predatory sea stars, and piles of hairy-chested yeti crabs. It was "almost like a sight from another planet," said expedition leader Alex Rogers, a professor of zoology at Oxford University. @iron_ammonite - Wildlife & TV: The Deadliest place on Earth?

It's 50oC and has a humidity of 100%, less than a couple of hundred people have been inside and it's so deadly that even with respirators and suits of ice you can only survive for 20 minutes before your body starts to fail. It's the nearest thing to visiting another planet – it's going deep inside our own. The Economics of Happiness. In the last few years, a growing number of economists have been discovering happiness.
It's not that they are spending more time admiring flowers, helping old folks cross the road, dancing on the street or baking pies for neighbors. In fact, these happiness economists are working long hours in soul-numbing ways, torturing data with their latest econometric techniques to force deeply buried facts to the surface. What is different is that these economists are revisiting old assumptions and asking new questions. They're not taking the neoclassical model of rational economic man for truth. 12 bizarre real-life places that are stranger than science fiction.
