Read lots of reviews before I bought this and wished I'd bought it a lot sooner. Great coverage and shade range, bottle's ok but will end up tipping it upside down when I get to the last drop. Don't think it would work on dry skin as I was told to moisturise well before application and I've got combination skin which is getting dehydrated as I'm getting older. I'll be sticking to this as over the years I've bought every foundation known to womankind and never been happy with coverage, shine etc etc. good all rounder just make sure you go to the counter with a sales woman who can be bothered to apply it correctly that was my only gripe , the actual product is fab. The price is what I expect to pay for high end make up. This review is for the double wear foundation ( bottled) and not this one.

I bought this product cause I read quite good reviews on it here. After getting the product, initially I was sort of satisfied with it, but after a while it just felt like any other foundation, just that it's a little bit more 'powdery' and kind of make it look like you've put many layers of makeup on, despite you just swiped it once on the skin.
The only reason I stated that I would not buy this product again, was cause it wasn't exactly OUTSTANDING or different than any other products and it kind of still make me wonder if there is a perfect foundation out there. But if I were to run out of foundation and are left between this product and some other product I do not have the review off and in an emergency sort of situation (perhaps I'm traveling and forgot to bring a foundation and deciding to get a foundation as quick as I can before my flight), I will get this again.
It is not the kind of make up I will wear to work everyday, due to the fact I don't want to look like as if I'm trying to seduce the kindergarten kids at centre I work in with the 'heavy' make up. All I needed was something that would just tone out my skin naturally, cover the pores and thats about it. I also have Giorgio Armani Nude Face Fabric foundation which is almost double the price, but that felt more natural to wear to work than this Estee Lauder one.

Let me first say that I have weird skin. I can have a minor breakout and deal with hyper pigmentation from it for months. I have dark marks on my face that will usually only go away with color correcting, which will often times make your face suuuuuper cakey. I also have skin that produces so much oil, eyeliner on my waterline ends up raccoon-ish after about two hours. I love the normal double wear because it stays put on my oily skin and it covers a lot without me having to color correct. Now THIS stuff is heaven sent. I don't use it as a foundation because I love my double wear but as a concealer on top it's magical. I got a sample of it and that little jar is lasting me so long!! I'm definitely purchasing this foundation as soon as I get to a Macy's it's literally the best concealer I've ever used. I've stuck with Mac studio finish for years but it slides off my face when I get oily. This will replace that bad bay. Expensive but hey, it's your face. Highly recommend if you have some serious covering up to do!

I first bought this foudation almost two years ago after reading the good reviews and needing a full coverage foudation that actually lasted all day.
First let me say the colors are limited. When I went to the counter I had picked out one color, but the MUA at the counter picked out another shade for me, and I went with what she picked out. The color itself does not perfectly fit me either, but I make it work. The counter MUA applied the foundation on with a brush, on just one side of my face where most of my acne scarring is, I was pleased, so on my way home I went. In the car though, I noticed just how thick and caked on it looked, so I started having second thoughts. I tried using this foundation for a while, but I really wasn't too pleased, it came out too thick everytime, I could feel it on my face and all I wanted to do was wash it off. I left it alone for a while.
Fast foward a few months, I tried it again, but decided this foundation does not work for me if I try to use it on my whole face, so I only applied it to my problem areas, then I applied my regular mineral powder over my whole face, which also takes care of the color difference. This way worked for me, so it's how I use it now.
But let me tell you, I DID NOT appreciate just how great this foundation is until recently. My skin is going through a horrible phase of cystic acne, and I have a lot of hyperpigmentation goin on, and this foudation is what saves me every morning. It's amazing how quickly this covers up my marks, I don't have to fuss around trying to cover up, I simply put some of this foundation on and it's done. Every now and then I'll go over one area twice, but it's such a time saver (because I've struggled with foudations or concealers that take time to cover up before), and now that I'm starting to run out, I know I'm definitely buying another bottle. I put this on early in the morning and when I get home from work in the evening my scars are still perfectly covered up.
Also, a little goes a long way, so one bottle will last you a while.

Was super excited to try this product because of such good reviews on it , it sounded right up my ally! I've tried EVERYTHING to cover my acne and acne scars and I thought this would be a new favorite but oh was I wrong. Although it does cover decently , I have a 7 $ concealer that covers better! Also I have light skin but not pasty white or anything like that , and the lightest shade was WAY to dark made me look dirty .. Very strange feeling on your face too. Looks chalky just 100% not for me! And for the price deff something to pass up!

I bought this maximum cover foundation as I had already been wearing the Estee Lauder double wear foundation but had run out. I am in love with double wear however, I decided to try something new as I am 19 with the odd spot here and there and some red/pink pigmentation and I was out to find the perfect FULL coverage foundation to leave my skin looking flawless.
Well I was pleasantly surprised by Maximum Cover. I was frightened it would leave me with a major caked up looking face but it delivered in terms of providing full coverage without the cakeyness. It gave me an almost barbie doll like complexion, absoloutely 100% flawless Seems to be too good to be true? Well it was slightly..
I took off one mark for this due to its oxidisation problems, it did when fully dry go slightly orangey on my skin. Another thing to consider is that this foundation takes a lot of work to look fully natural. Some form of blusher and slight bronzer/powder may be needed to avoid looking dull, as it makes skin all one tone. It also has little oil control, in fact I found it made me a little oilier than usual, maybe because its so heavy my pores were fighting against it with my natural oils!
All in all this is a good full (i mean full) coverage foundation and is good for anyone who has scarring, hyper pigmentation, moles, freckles etc. that they want to cover. Also great for photography as no white shades appear on the face from SPF. For me, in hindsight it probably made me realise my skin would have been better with something a little less like double wear rather than such heavy coverage foundation, but hey all girls my age feel the need for perfection however it made me realise I actually quite like the flaws in my skin and thats what makes me, me!

I got this foundation as a sample and I was really excited to try it out. i applied it with my Dior foundation brush which makes all foundation glide on like a dream (which I would expect for £40 anyway!) I tried it in the lightest colour which is creamy Ivory.
So I really liked it when I first applied it, looked like a good colour and it did cover everything, my skin looked flawless and it even covered my horrible, horrible under eye circles which I use heavy concealer for. A few hours went by and I was still really happy with the feel of the foundation, it was heavy but it didn't feel like a mask!
And then I looked in the mirror, my face was ORANGE! I'm not really really pale, I'm an NC20 in Mac and my skin has yellowish tones. My face and neck were completely different colours, it had all caked up and in some areas it had gone a weird grey colour. I have never had this with any foundation, I've had foundations that I havent 'felt' but never ever this. I had to walk around in the busy public for the rest of the day feeling like an idiot and I could see girls staring at me like 'what is wrong with her skin?'.
Such high hops and I'm so so disappointed.

This is amazing. I have dry acne prone skin and this was perfect. It didn't break me out or cause irritation. It covered my acne scars so well. I used it for 2 years until they discontinued the lightest shade:( I was heartbroken. I was advised at the counter to swap for stay in place foundation but it's never going to be as good as this. If they bring out the lightest shade again I will buy 20 bottles :)

(Press briefing with Afghan Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullah, Presidential Palace, Kabul)
Wolfowitz: We are going to leave shortly for Mazar-e-Sharif. We've had a very full schedule, slightly more than half a day, but it seems like a couple of days already. I've had very excellent, useful briefings by General McNeill and other people here with Operation Enduring Freedom. And then, a very interesting visit to a place where we're working on training battalions of the new Afghan National Army. Then, we went to meet with General Zorlu, the Turkish Commander of the International Security Assistance Force, which continues to do outstanding work here in Afghanistan. And we just concluded a very excellent hour-and-a-half of discussions with President Karzai and Foreign Minister Abdullah, Defense Minister Fahim and other members of the Cabinet. Our discussions centered most of all, I believe it's fair to say, on the importance of training and developing the Afghan National Army. But in a sense, I would say more broadly, on the importance of strengthening those national institutions that can move Afghanistan forward, enable Afghanistan to overcome the wounds of 20 years of civil war -- and if I can put it also, from an American point of view -- that would keep Afghanistan from going back to being a sanctuary for terrorism. I was very encouraged by the attitudes, not only the President's, but also members of his cabinet, including the Foreign Minister who's here with me, but also Defense Minister Fahim. Mr. Minister, do you want to add to that?
Abdullah: Yes, I think you have articulated what we had in our discussions very well. I consider it very constructive, the discussions on the issue of the national security forces in Afghanistan-the National Army and the whole national vision of Afghanistan for today and tomorrow. There were areas, all agreement about different aspects of it. And today's discussions, I believe, will give it a push. As far as our efforts in Afghanistan, as well as the efforts of our friends in the United States -- in support of the formation of the National Army is concerned -- we hope that the upcoming days, in which we will have further consultations, will further enhance our efforts in those directions.
Q: How do you see the prospect of another incident like the shooting incident in Uruzgan happening again?
Wolfowitz: We very much regret any time that innocent people are killed, and all the evidence suggests that innocent people were killed there. And we deeply regret that. At the same time, we are still involved in difficult situations in this country where there are people who are responsible for terrorism, or terrorists themselves or people who are attacking our armed forces. When we're in a situation where we're in a combat zone, unfortunately, sometimes mistakes are made. General McNeill and his people are undertaking a thorough investigation of that incident in order to do everything we possibly can to prevent that kind of mistake in the future. I don't believe it can be prevented completely. But we have been doing everything we can to prevent it and we will try to do better.
Q: Despite the superiority of the U.S. forces, why are there still conflicts in this country? After Uruzgan, what can be done to prevent similar incidents?
Wolfowitz: There's no question that the United States has formidable military capabilities and I think we've demonstrated that. I think it probably came as a surprise to the terrorists that we were able to do as much as we did as quickly as we did to make this country a place that is inhospitable to terrorists. But there is a great deal that military power can't accomplish -- even the most substantial military power -- and the larger task of building security in this country is something that's going to require much more than just the efforts of the U.S. military. It requires strengthening Afghanistan's own national army, which was a major subject of our discussions with President Karzai. And frankly, it also involves, very importantly, the efforts at economic reconstruction because when people are employed, when people have hospitals, schools and roads, when people are prosperous, then security problems, I believe, will definitely decline. But it's not going to happen overnight. Afghanistan has suffered from 20 years of civil war, those damages are not repaired instantly. I think if one looks at what's been accomplished over the last 12 months, it's truly remarkable.
Q: There are increasing reports of disenfranchised Pashtuns. Any comment?
Wolfowitz: Well, there's a Pashtun president, I think that's rather significant. I believe that there are very important ways that Pashtuns are represented in this government. Definitely, as we go about training the Afghan National Army, we're very intent on trying to make sure that ethnic balance is adequately represented. I'm not surprised to hear reports of people being dissatisfied. There's a kind of expectation that now the Taliban are gone, everything will become better all of a sudden. It's not going to happen that quickly. As I said a few minutes ago, I believe there has been extraordinary progress measured, whether over the last 12 months or the last 6 months, and I think that progress will continue.
Abdullah: And also, there's a problem of perception. Whatever happens in Afghanistan is automatically being interpreted in the ethnic lines, which is not necessarily the main issue. The main issue is that Afghanistan has chosen its destiny, and the destiny is to giving the Afghan people the right of self-determination and the Loya Jirga was the clear example or exercise of it. If you're talking about resentment of the people who were supportive of the Taliban, these groups who were supporting al Qaeda or the Taliban, it has nothing to do with one ethnicity. It comes from different corners. And also, this is not a national issue. The support for al Qaeda was voiced from other corners of the world as well. If you're talking about the situation in Afghanistan, there were representatives (who) were elected throughout the country in Pashtun and non-Pashtun dominated areas, and more or less, I would not say, compare it to polling in the United States or anywhere else, but as far as possible, it was supervised by the international community. The election process was democratic, to a large extent. The meeting itself was, despite some shortcomings, it was a democratic one. And the part which was taken today, the creation of the national army, the framework. The whole change cannot take place overnight. The people of Afghanistan do not expect this. Some of the so-called experts on Afghanistan only know that there are different ethnic groups in Afghanistan and there have to be problems between them all the time, and I don't think that's the constructive way of dealing with this issue. When there are real concerns which have to be addressed, whether it is ethnically-related or politically-oriented, or whatever it is, or in our national interest.
Q: Pashtuns have had very significant blows recently with the Uruzgan incident and the assassination of Vice-President Qadir in approximately 10-day period.
Abdullah: If you'll remember, there was an attempt against General Fahim in Jalalabad, in which Haji Qadir was with him. And both survived that attempt. Had that attempt succeeded, would our analysis have been, 'it was a Pashtun against a non-Pashtun?' No, it was al Qaeda or a force which is against stability. Haji Qadir was a very dear friend, I find. Perhaps, in this government, I am the person who could claim he was the closest friend to me. When he was assassinated here, of course, it was by the enemies of peace; of course, it was by the enemies of stability. It might be al Qaeda or Taliban mixed in it. There might be an issue of the war against drug cultivation and the whole thing. But whatever it is, Haji Qadir, was a principal supporter of this process, and his contributions during the Loya Jirga were eminent throughout the Loya Jirga, and the enemies have chosen him as a target.
Why should this be considered as a blow against the Pashtuns? His loss is a big loss for the country. When he voted for Qasimyar as the President of the Loya Jirga, Qasimyar is ethnically, Farsi-speaking, he's Hazara, and religiously, he's from the Shiite minority. He wanted to show that (unintelligible) has broken in Afghanistan, and he was appreciated for that. When such a figure is taken from us, unfortunately, in a tragic incident, once again this is a blow to the country, to our nation. Yes, this is a setback but the investigation continues, and the enemies will not succeed in the final vote. They might succeed in taking out some of the figures. But, if their goal is to destroy Afghanistan once again and take it back, there they will not succeed.
Q: Some governors have demanded more say in the role of the U.S. military actions. Are you and other Afghan officials on the same page on the role of the U.S. military here?
Abdullah: Mr. Wolfowitz mentioned before that General McNeill will continue the job of a thorough investigation, this is what was needed. This was a demand of the Afghans, as well as by the authorities, and the United States had made it clear right from the beginning that a thorough investigation would be conducted. Perhaps, different views are expressed in different parts of the country, an Afghan individual here and there may see it differently, but we're satisfied by the measures that have been taken so far. And we're also aware of the fact that one cannot prevent incidents in a war in a 100 percent manner. That's what we're aware of.
Q: How concerned are you that the governors are creating their own forces to fight al Qaeda?
Wolfowitz: There are lots of local forces in this country. The reason we are so interested in developing and strengthening the Afghan National Army is so that over time, it can be the central government -- the duly-elected authorities in this country -- who make the decision and have the ability to enforce those decisions.
Q: Why isn't the United States supporting the build up of ISAF until the Army becomes established?
Wolfowitz: I'm glad at least you didn't say why is the United States opposed to the expansion of ISAF-we are not, as Secretary Rumsfeld has said many times. But let's go back some months. ISAF was brought to Kabul for a very important purpose that is unique to Kabul, that is, to make sure the capital of this country did not, once again, become the possession of one ethnic group or another ethnic group because it is commonly believed, and I'm not an expert, but I've heard it many, many times, that it is that that, in part, led to some of the tragedies that gave rise to the Taliban. So, I think, the ISAF has accomplished something very important, continues to accomplish something very important, and its mission here in Kabul is extremely important. And when the British said they were out after six months, and the Turks eventually agreed to take on the lead, Turkey did so on condition that the mission be confined to Kabul. Now, if there's a need somewhere else, if there are other countries that are willing to step forward to fill that need somewhere else, the United States is definitely not opposed. But we think we need to think these steps through very carefully, and think about what applies in each particular circumstance.
Q: Why has the U.S. failed to arrest bin Laden and Mullah Omar?
Wolfowitz: You know, there are many Americans who ask the same question. But I think Afghans should have a better appreciation. You know your country; you know what the terrain is like; you know how formidable it is up there along the Pakistani border. I think what's actually remarkable is how much the U.S. military was able to accomplish in a relatively short time. More generally, it is very important to understand that the problem of al Qaeda is not just the problem of one individual; it's not just the problem of Afghanistan. Al Qaeda was a network that burrowed into some 60 countries around the world. It had a headquarters here in Afghanistan, but it had headquarters in Germany, the United States, France and Morocco, and you don't take it down the way you might kill a poisonous snake by chopping off the head. It's more like an infection in the body; you have to go after the pockets of infection all over the place. So, yes, we'd very much like to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice if it hasn't happened already, and we don't know for sure. But our real goal is to end terrorism, and that requires going after the whole network.
Q: Do you think he's alive?
Q: (unintelligible)
Wolfowitz: We're here as an army of liberation, not an army of occupation. It's very important at the same time that we carry out our operations to capture or kill terrorists who threaten the United States. It's very important to us also, to do everything we can to work with Afghan authorities both at the national and local level to make sure that our operations are coordinated and that they proceed in a way that contributes to the long-term stability of this country. And when we make a mistake, or think we may have made a mistake, as in Uruzgan, we will try to track down, as thoroughly as we can, the causes of it and try to prevent it. I would point out that we have made mistakes in killing our own people or killing our coalition forces. It's a difficult job, dangerous circumstances. The people out there making judgments are doing their very best to make the best judgments they can. But no one can say the risk can be eliminated completely.

Milwaukee Volunteers Work to Revitalize a Community
A collaborative effort between the City of Milwaukee, Next Door Foundation, North Avenue Community Development Corporation, Safe and Sound, The Corridor and the Corporation for National and Community Service, the event drew volunteers of all ages, some as young as seven. The volunteers worked with the neighborhood residents to clean up the area. Many of the youth volunteers were part of Earn and Learn, the city's summer youth internship program. Fifteen AmeriCorps*VISTA members took time out of their regular, full time service, to spend the morning helping to revitalize the neighborhood. Volunteers from the City of Milwaukee also joined the cadre of people serving in the neighborhood.
One of the youngest volunteers, Dominic, who lives near the Corridor, came with his sisters and aunt to help. The family worked together to fill trash bags. "It was hard work, but the street looks so much better now," said Cathy, Dominic's aunt as they looked over the street after hauling the trash bags to a dumpster. Residents expressed their appreciation for volunteer's hard work, "It's nice to see people helping out. Some of us are physically unable to do this work anymore. I appreciate being able to look out and see a nice clean yard", one of the residents commented.
This event was organized in answer to United We Serve, President Obama's call to service. United We Serve is a national effort by President Barack Obama to engage more Americans in serving their communities this summer. The event aligns with the community renewal focus area of the President's program. Due to its location on a rail line, the Corridor historically has been a popular place to build factories. Many of the industrial sites today are underutilized and beautification projects such as the clean-up can help attract new businesses and revitalize the community.

My Favorite Games of All Time
To make it to this list, the game would have had to given me some sort of memorable experience that left a hole in me after I had finished it. That, or just being really awesome.
Honorable Mentions:
Persona 4: I watched the entire ER, so I can't say that I've played it. But I think it might be better than Persona 3.

In his State of the Union address, President Obama called for making preschool available to every 4-year-old in America, opening a welcome discussion on whether and how to make the investments needed to realize this vision.
As two longtime corporate executives who have been engaged in education for decades, we have no doubt about the answer to this question. Children who attend high-quality preschool do much better when they arrive in kindergarten, and this makes an enormous difference for their later success. The data on preschool is overwhelmingly positive. Although some studies suggest that the positive impact decreases over time, this is mainly attributable to differences in the quality of preschool and of the schooling that follows — not a deficiency in preschool itself.
The effectiveness of quality early childhood education has been affirmed by many business-related groups, including ReadyNation, a coalition of business leaders, organized in 2006.

Garowe Online/allAfrica
Mogadishu — US drones operating in the Horn of Africa have killed 4 Al Shabaab high ranking officials, Garowe Online reports.
The drone targeted the agents on Friday while they were in their vehicles near the area of Kilometere 60 located near Marko in the Lower Shabelle region. Residents in the area reported hearing large explosions early Friday morning.
Out of the 4 dead agents in Friday's strikes 2 are foreign fighters from Morocco and Kenya which the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) has confirmed. The Moroccan was identified as Abu Abdullah by the Al Shabaab organization who released statements on the drone strikes that killed 4 of their agents. The Kenyan fighter's identity has not been released as of yet.
The US government confirmed to AP that they did conduct the drone strikes that killed the 4 insurgents.
US drones have killed Al Shabaab agents in the past. On January 22 a drone attack killed Bilal el Berjawi a British citizen of Lebanese descent fighting in Somalia. Although the US confirmed that they have a base in Ethiopia located in the southern city of Arba Minch the US government maintains that the drones conduct surveillance. Read more…

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tami HillisSpecial to American Forces Press Service
FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq, July 14, 2008 Residents of Juhaysh in Iraq's Wasit province received medical assistance from Iraqi and coalition forces during a cooperative medical engagement July 9.
Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 32nd Brigade, 8th Iraqi Army Division, secured the area along with U.S. soldiers in Company D, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, attached to 1st Battalion, 76th Field Artillery, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, and used a school as a makeshift clinic to offer care to local Iraqis.
Village residents poured in from the streets, forming a line outside the school.
"I think this is very good," an Iraqi medic said. "It's good to help out the people, and we have a good relationship with the coalition forces."
In preparation for the engagement, the unit came out to the Juhaysh village to see what the people have and don't have, Army Capt. John Zdeb, commander of Company D, 3-7th Infantry Regiment, said.
"We asked the sheiks to identify their needs, and medical service was one of their highest priorities," said the seven-year Army veteran, who is on his second Iraq deployment. "[A combined medical engagement] was one of the easier things to do. A lot of the bigger projects, like getting the canals working and other stuff, involve higher-level influence and a lot of money, so this was relatively low-budget, high-payoff."
Army Maj. (Dr.) Mario Caycedo, a surgeon with 703rd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th BCT, led the team of 703rd BSB medics and a 3-32nd Brigade medic in examining, diagnosing, treating and advising the patients.
"The main purpose of the CME is to come out here and interact and provide them with medical care," said Army Spc. Johnelle Opel, a medic from 703rd BSB.
At the initial screening station, combat medics, assisted by translators, interviewed each patient for medical history and previous treatments and noted their ailments. Then the medics measured each patient's vital signs -- pulse, temperature and blood pressure.
Once vital signs were taken, patients were escorted to a private room, where their ailments were treated.
Medical personnel saw about 280 patients, ranging from infants to elderly, with various ailments. Medical issues ranged from common joint and back pain to infections and gastrointestinal disorders.
"Most of the ailments were from the water. … We will look at coming back here to help them out with education; do a [mission] to show them how to properly purify the water, things like that," Army Capt. K.C. Woody, commander of Company C, 703rd BSB, said.
Most of the medications distributed were over-the-counter medicines, such as pain medication, multivitamins, antibiotics and topical medicines for rashes. "We bought all the medications from the market in Iskandariyah, so it's all stuff bought off the Iraqi economy, stuff that they can get, so it's a step in the right direction," Woody said.
Each patient received an evaluation, treatment, medicine if needed, and humanitarian assistance such as water, food and personal hygiene items.
"In this area specifically, there is a lack of essential services," Zdeb said. "There are no smaller medical clinics in any of these outlining communities, and it's hard for a lot of these people to actually get to the bigger cities to get to a hospital to receive medical treatment."
In addition to the Iraqi soldiers pulling security duty, the Iraqi brigade's leadership also was present.
"It shows the local populace that their military and police leadership care about them," Woody said. "[Having the Iraqi military present] is a step in the right direction. Obviously, we're not going to be here forever, but they will. So it's important for them to see how we do things, and they can take away some of the things they learn from us, plus the things that they do well."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The more things change for Ray Birmingham and the University of New Mexico Lobos, the more they stay the same. Despite losing the top four hitters from his 2013 squad, including three of the top 23 hitters in the nation, Birmingham has UNM again near the national leaders in batting.
Led by Chase Harris' .381 average the Lobos boast a .317 batting average, which is tops in the Mountain West and 10th in the nation. Following their 17-hit attacked against the Aggies, the Lobos rank third in the nation in hits with 300. Sam Haggerty (34), Alex Real (33) and Jared Holley (30) join Harris to combine for nearly half of the team's total.
Harris is also near the top of several national leaderboards, including ranking sixth in the country, and first in the Mountain West, with 40 hits prior to his three-hit performance at New Mexico State Tuesday afternoon, which was his third consecutive three-hit game. He leads the conference15 multi-hit games this season, including six games with three base knocks. Sam Haggerty is currently riding a 12-game hitting streak, the longest on the team this season and the second longest active streak in the MW.
The Lobos are getting key contributions from several first-year players as well. Freshman walk-on Danny Collier is sixth on the team with 22 hits and third with a .344 batting average. Junior college transfer Aaron Siple has raised his average to ,300 and has 21 hits. Another freshman, Andre Vigil, has played well of late and now has 19 hits in 60 at bats for a .317 average.
Entering this weekend's series at Air Force, the Lobos have at least 10 hits in nine straight games, which is the longest such streak in the nation this season. They are averaging 11.5 hits per game overall.

Staton Facts: '30 for 30' tackles 'Space Jam'
I love ESPN's "30 for 30" series; this documentary series is so well done that even non-sports fans can get wrapped up in sports stories. Take the documentary film "Space Jam," for example. "30 for 30" tackles the making of this incredibly dramatic sports story, from the formation of the Tune Squad to the death of Foghorn Leghorn at half court. Really dramatic, tear jerking stuff. http://yhoo.it/HTLqos

Of course, it didn't work out that way. As soon as I got my Vita all set up, I logged into the PlayStation Store to download some PSP games that I had already purchased. Moments later, I had Rayman: Origins and Super Stardust Delta as well. It was the rare triple whammy: a credit card, a new game system, and an easily accessible online store.
Originally, the Vita was an impulse purchase. A system that I could use for work and write off on my taxes. Now though, I wonder if Sony might finally be on to something here.
To better understand where the Vita is today, it would help to look back at the PSP's launch.
Seven years ago, I walked into a store and asked if I could see one of the then-new PlayStation Portables. I had been skeptical to that point, but I'm as much a technophile as any gamer. I needed to hold a PSP in my hands. Finally I had my chance to get hands-on at a retail store. If I had tried out Lumines or Wipeout Pulse, I might have been more impressed. Instead, I was playing Twisted Metal: Head-On, a muddy brown game with irritating load times that looked like it was trying but failing to be a PS2 title. I put the PSP away and never looked back.
The PSP's greatest strength also proved to be one of its biggest downfalls -- it was just too expensive to develop for a handheld with ostensibly modern graphics. So while the launch line-up was solid enough, new PSP games arrived at a trickle compared to the flood of new Nintendo DS games that same year. In 2005 alone, the Nintendo DS had heavy hitters like Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Animal Crossing, Phoenix Wright, and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! -- games that would help define the system's library for years to come.
Nintendo never pushed the DS as a state-of-the-art platform, so its games were cheap, easy to develop, and plentiful, making its reliance on physical media a complete non-issue. The PSP desperately needed that same kind of content early in its life cycle, but its own high-end specs were working against it, and there was no online channel available for quick and cheap releases. Download speeds and wireless availability being what they were, it was probably too much to ask that the PSP be a download-only machine. But Sony would have done well to feature any sort of built-in online platform for the system, even if it had only been for music and movies.
Would it have been enough to push the PSP ahead of the DS? We'll never know now. But it's clear that Sony had a content problem lasting all the way to the end of the system's life cycle. There just wasn't enough to do on the thing.
The question is: Will the Vita be any different?"
The PSP took years to get anything resembling quick, cheap handheld games because Sony had no real way to deliver it without an online storefront. The PSP Go attempted to remedy this problem, but ended up being a miserable failure. Again, content -- in this case regular PSP games -- was an issue.
So far, that has not been the case on my Vita. Every game released to this point is available front and center in the PlayStation Store, and I constantly have to stop myself from downloading yet more games. And it helps that the Vita is lovely -- even playing PSP games on the thing feels like a treat with its screen. But content is the thing, and if the Vita wants to hold its own in a market saturated with handheld devices, it will need even more games like Tales From Space. Because in the end, it will be those games, and not games like Uncharted, that carry it.
The Vita has left me with the impression that Sony has learned somewhat from the mistakes they made with the PSP, but the Vita has at least one major issue that needs to be corrected soon -- memory.
Put simply, for a handheld driven so heavily by downloadable content, the Vita's memory is much too expensive. I can almost live with dropping $30 on an 8 gigabyte memory card, but Vita games are big, and they're only going to get bigger. You would think Sony would have learned after the PS3, where an off-the-shelf hard-drive can be swapped in without breaking a sweat. There's a lot more competition in the mobile gaming than there was seven years ago. Miss a beat, and they will find a lot of people saying, "Forget it" and sticking with their iPhones and Androids. But then, that's a danger for every handheld device these days, not just the PS Vita.
Sony appears to have a much better foundation in place than they did with the PSP. The online store in particular has potential to put the Vita well ahead of its primary rivals, and open the floodgates for a huge array of cheap, easy to acquire games.
As for me, whenever I sit down and watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, I soon find myself playing either Rayman or Super Stardust Delta. And seeing as I hadn't planned to buy any games at all as recently as a week ago, I think that's a victory for Sony.

The Kardashians
Source: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush Are "Taking it Slow"
It certainly grabbed our attention that less than four months after her spectacular split from Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian's already been spotted out and about with her former flame Reggie Bush. But are Kim and Reggie reconciling, or is this just a case of old (and freshly single) friends catching up?
A source tells People that, for now, the ex-sweethearts are keeping each other safely in the friend zone – but that could easily change. "They don't know what will happen," the source says. "They're taking it slow. They love each other so much and miss each other, but their relationship is so complicated."
Kim and Reggie dated off-and-on for about four years, finally splitting for good in 2010. However, there's always been talk that the duo never really got over each other. Still, one thing's for sure: Kim Kardashian has a lot of healing to do before launching into a new relationship. Even an old, new relationship. "Things are up in the air," the source adds. "Kim very much wants to take her time and be single and heal from her divorce."
We second that notion!

The answer to improving performance in schools is known, but lawmakers and school administrators lack the courage to implement them.
The first answer would be clearly stated objectives and goals. Students should not be allowed to advance to the next grade (level) without first showing proficiency at their current level. Subjects should be divided into modules, and students should show proficiency in Module 1 before advancing into Module 2, then Module 3.
The challenge here is that some parents complain that they do not want their child held back, primarily for social reasons. Removing the concept of Grades (First Grade for this age, Second Grade for this age, etc.) would help address this. Students having challenges in math, for instance, might repeat a math Module, but would still advance in reading Modules.
Students who are not keeping up in a subject should be required to attend supplemental sessions, either in place of the "study hall" period, or after school. This would require extra work from teachers, and they should be properly compensated. It is parents who seem to resist this idea, especially the after school idea. School administrators too often cave in to parent complaints, and pressure teachers to pass a student regardless of their performance, or lack therefore.
School administrators need to be honest and admit that they tell teachers to pass students no matter what. Nowadays, failing students are given a "D" grade just to move them along. Everyone loses, except administrators still get paid and have fewer headaches.
With a Modular system with clearly written goals and objectives, administrators should be able to show parents where a student is deficient, and what has to be achieved for a student to advance. Computer assisted instruction would help with the repetition needed to drive home concepts and objectively measure a student's progress.
The bottom line is that parental involvement is the key factor, but the reality is that not all parents have the skills or motivation to require that their child achieve.
Maybe somewhat more controversial idea, but worth considering, is monetarily rewarding students for passing each Module. A side benefit of this is linking pay to performance, a concept, which introduced early in the education process, would carry over into adult life. Our society can pay early, or pay later.
"all admissions and hiring should be 100% equal"…
Spartalum, did your professors at MSU tell you that admissions were 100% equal? Mr. Dawsey just pointed out an example (GW Bush) where admissions are not based only on individual merit, yet you continue to focus on race and sex.
It would seem that you would be crying out for more diversity in education, as Darrel Dawsey is describing the real world as if was never explained to you before. I don't think Mr. Dawsey even has a Ph.D.
Why is it that so many writers aren't against affirmative action for white people?
This court ruling acknowledges that the status quo is just that, and that most of these comments just reflect the perceived loss of white privilege
When college admission applications ask "Did your parents go to school here?" and then give special consideration based on a yes, this tends to favor whites in this country. When employers ask, "were you referred by a present employee, or are you related to a present employee?" this also favors the majority.
Are there any white people who see this as hiring (or admissions) not based on merit? Where is the outrage over this?
This court ruling is saying that if you use those non-merit criteria for hiring, then don't single out race or sex to outlaw.
Please, don't be hypocritical and say, "I never discriminated against blacks". You don't have to; you can just sit back and enjoy the status quo. Stop the lies!
I bet President John Dunn at WMU is wetting his pants. His faculty led attacks on minorities is showing cracks. When he was asked to show numbers demonstrating any affirmative action, he failed. Minorities are still underrepresented in both students and faculty. Too many Caucasian students know they can complain to him if they get anything less than a "B", and his administration tells the faculty to give International students at least a "C", even if they can't speak English, so WMU can keep them in school and paying that high tuition. Then WMU issues a "white paper" report saying "Whites and Asians score higher than Blacks and Hispanics". It's time to stop the lies!
Why are you still supporting that right wing lie?
You mention "sovereign states". Do you mean the sovereignty granted to those former colonies by the King of England? When the states ratified the Constitution, they, in effect, gave up their individual sovereignty. It's "We the people", not "We, the states". I think there was a war fought over this.
If the Constitution said "whatever powers not specifically granted to state governments by the constitution, will revert back to the national government", you might have a case. The right-wing is trying to fool you, again, by trying to position medical marijuana as a states right issue. Be a sheepdog, not a sheep, and think your way through the lies.
A man who cannot control his sexual behavior and uses violence against women is called a rapist, can go to jail, and can have his picture posted on the Internet as a "sex offender".
To what degree are women responsible for their sexual behavior? Is a woman who cannot control her sexual behavior and uses violence against an unborn child is a "victim"?
Maybe the state should post pictures of women who kill unborn babies on the sex offenders list.
"Elohim" contains three parts. "El" would be masculine. But the "oh" is feminine. "Im" makes it plural. You recongnize more than one Person in the Name, but are you suggesting God is all male or all female? Of sourse, Spirit does not have sex, but if God is the Creator, nothing, including sex, is outside of God.
When your mother named you Teknia, that implied your were not "John". You are a finite being, so a name is appropriate. We humans cannot know the true nature of God, so a proper name is not appropriate for the infinite Creator. Elohim represents the all encompassing nature of God.
Regarding human sexuality, the Bible, and Jesus, one might first ask, "is God male or female?" The obvious answer should be "both".
The next question might be "Was the original Man in the Bible male or female?" Again, the Bible says "both"!
In Genesis 2:26, God said 'Let us make mankind in our image and likeness." Doesn't the "us' refer to both the male and female aspects of God?
Genesis 2:27 confirms this. "God created man in his image… Male and female he created them'. Then God blessed them "Be fruitful and multiply"
Genesis 5:1 restates this: "When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and called them Man when they were created."
Most readers of the Bible are familiar with the separation of the sexes in Genesis 2 as coming later, when the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man is alone, I will make hi a helper like himself". Unfortunately, and maybe due to male chauvinism, some interpret this to mean that the female was made second. But if you make a cake, then cut it in half, can you say one piece came first, and the other half, second? No, they are two equal pieces. The male Adam said the female was "bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh".
Believers of the Old Testament recognize marriage as a return to Man's original God-like state, the reunion of the male and female aspects. Genesis 2:24 states: "For this reason, a man … clings to his wife, and the two become one flesh."
Did Jesus say anything about this? In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, Have you not read that the Creator, from the beginning, made them male and female, and, for this cause a man shall… cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
Did Jesus address sexuality? Continuing on in Matthew 19:11, Jesus says, "Not all can accept this teaching… For there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made so by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it who can."
Excellent points bobbiez, and you get to the heart of the matter. Most southern soldiers weren't fighting for their individual rights, but for the lie told to them by the aristocratic slaveholders who dominated politics in states like South Carolina. The economic exploitation known as slavery hurt white laborers as well as black.
The lie of "states'rights" fooled the average Johhny Reb into fighting and dying for a cause that only hurt him. If you've been to Gettysburg and have seen the killing field that southern soldiers crossed, you can admire their valor, but can only pity that a lie led them to do it
That persons like pantsboy are still trying to justify that lie shows the challenge America has facing the future. This country is based on "We, the people", not "we, the states".
Lincoln was a politician, and all politics is "complicated". For all the intrigue, the question still stands "Were there no slavery in America, would there have been a Civil War?"
The previous answer of "Yes, because of taxes", hardly deserves comment. Maybe you mean tariffs. I hope that is not from a Tea Party member.
I'm glad to see some new ethnocentricity being pointed out in art. I'm tired of complaining about how the only people of color in "The Lord of the Rings" were Orcs! They didn't even have black fairies!
Pullyourpantsupboy, do you still believe that "states' rights'" right-wing lie? Then you're as foolish as Johnny Reb.
If there were no slavery, would there have been an American Civil War?
The only state right being asserted was the right to deny liberty to humans and the right to deprive an individual of the fruits of his labor.
It would seem that this writer is speaking to ridusofgovt directly. One of his favorite quotes is "I decided not to participate in the recession. This statement shows that he recognizes his freedom of choice, as did the cross country motorcycle rider. The writer is asking ridusofgovt "could Africans at the start of this country say 'I decided not to participate in slavery'"? Could women say, "I choose to vote at the next election."? It seems ridusofgovt wants to hold everyone accountable except himself.
ridusofgovt states "education is important to productivity and productivity is important to ones income", But Rid doesn't comment on which groups were denied the right to education in this country by white males.
Rid states "my position is that failure in family values and education in the black community is not something caused by white people", but Rid does not comment on which "racial group" in this country was denied the right to marry, or could have their children taken away for no reason.
Rid states "Many races of people have come to the USA and prospered", but Rid does not comment on which "race" was forced to come to this country, without question for their skills, but not to be rewarded for the fruits of their labor.
Rid states "Capitalism creates the wealth that makes the USA the wealthiest country in the history of the planet. However, capitalism is built on effort". But Rid does not seem to recognize that this country grew to be an economic world power based on the cotton trade. Not only did southern plantation owners benefit from this stolen labor, but northern mill owners, also. Is that you, Rid?
Rid says, "Look at blacks in Africa…" Rid is right in that Africans still have that connection between work and the rewards as a result of that work, but Rid does not seem to recognize how slavery removes that connection. So the writer of this response is telling Rid that as a result of Africans coming into contact with white males telling that they were "three-fifths" a person, by law, and that they had no rights that a white man was bound to respect, there were psychological repercussions that resound to this day. The writer is implicitly telling Rid that he benefited by the slave trade, so is he ready to accept accountability.
The writer is asking Rid to look at "systematic discrimination", historically and present day, as it relates to blacks and women. Rid seems to concentrate on economics, but that is really what racism and sexism is all about. Rid points a finger at the victims, but does not see the three fingers pointing at himself.
One need only to look at the headlines for Mlive.com for April 27, 2011, about President Obama's birth certificate to see why Rachel Maddow would lie about the Benton Harbor situation; to get headlines and draw attention. But I would hope that Julie Mack would notice the difference between Maddow's lies and the right-wing lies – Maddow's lies brought attention to a real issue, while the lies about President Obama's birth distracted attention from real issues.
Julie Mack called her column a "fact-check", but when did the Kalamazoo Gazette or any of its columnists ever report any "facts" regarding this land grab? There are many assertions floating around, including word that Jennifer Granholm received a lakefront condo as part of this agreement, that a Benton Harbor pastor was jailed for vocally protesting this deal, and that corrupt Benton Harbor commissioners received payoffs to approve this deal.
It is unfortunate that Julie Mack does not see the connections when the issues are the power of money to influence government, and the inequality and distribution of wealth, and how this case is pertinent to the direction our state and country will take. A few commenters are asking the question, "who does the Emergency Financial Manager represent, the people of the city of Benton Harbor, or some other interest?" No one questions the right of the EFM to cancel contracts between the city and public unions, but can the EFM cancel a contract between the city and a private party when that contract is detrimental to the city?
I repeat my criticism that there has been no analysis of the economic impact to the people of the city of Benton Harbor. One basic principle of any business or government is that you don't sell assets to cover operating expenses; this is a short term solution that does not address the underlying causes, and causes more long term loss.
Looking particularly at Benton Harbor, its waterfront as an economic asset cannot be overlooked as to its importance for development. But driving along Lake Michigan through Benton Harbor, the city is mostly separated from the waterfront by privately owned mansions. Benton Harbor is the only community along the lake that is almost completely landlocked! A previous reader commented that Benton Harbor is 92% black, but guess where that 8% white population is located? Yes, along that more valuable lakefront property.
An Emergency Financial Manager with the interest of the people of Benton Harbor in mind would probably negate the Jean Klock deal, and use imminent domain to reclaim the waterfront for the city so that it can develop for the long term good of the city. Is there any analysis of how St. Joseph is using public access to the waterfront compared to Benton Harbor? Why criticize the citizens of Benton Harbor when they had never had full economic control of the city.
Connected to this, it is disturbing that Julie Mack regards Whirlpool as a "good corporate citizen" for their role in Benton Harbor's financial affairs. In case Ms. Mack did not hear, the right wing has also been crying the state of Michigan is financially "broke", and their suggestion is to sell Michigan's parklands to private interest. So, what is next, Ms. Mack, should General Electric be a good corporate citizen and buy Yosemite National Park from the U.S. government to reduce federal debt?
If Rachel Maddow finally got the Kalamazoo Gazette to take notice, her cry of alarm was right on the mark.
Hey, dcphony,
Why do you shift the focus to Obama and Washington?
Did you ever hear "Think Globally, Act Locally."?
This emphasis on attacking President Obama plays right into the hands of those attacking freedoms on a local basis. Your attention is diverted. The constitutionality of national health care can be debated under the "necessary and proper clause" of the Constitution The mandatory aspect of national health care was inserted at the insistence of the Republican Party, based on Mitt Romney's model in Massachusetts, then used politically to attack Obama.
Is there a debate as to the constitutionality of a state requiring a worker to accept pay on a debit card? The U.S. Constitution provides protections for individual rights relevant to this article; the Michigan Constitution does not. A weak federal government will allow even more abuses of individual rights.
As was reported earlier, the State of Michigan recently passed House Bill 5821, a bill that allows employers to require their employees to receive wages only through direct deposit or a payroll debit card. This bill would, in effect, also require workers to have a bank account.
I have previously commented that House Bill 5821 violates the U.S. Constitution, specifically Article 1, Section 10, which states, "No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"
Others have commented on examples of costs shift to working people. The analysis of House Bill 5821 states that it was passed at the request of Visa. All citizens of Michigan have a duty to contact their state legislators regarding the constitutionality of House Bill 5821, and be aware of these continuous attacks on individual freedoms.
The analysis of this law before it was passed called the loss of the ability to demand cash for payment of services an "inconvenience". There was absolutely no concern for individual choice.
Paranoid? What is with the emotional attacks when confronted with facts? This bill was introduced at the request of Visa. Isn't this just corporate welfare?
What reason were taxpayers given for bailing out the banks? "They're too big to fail!" So now, the state wants to mandate that we use their products?
"This is why we're bleeding jobs"? I don't see the relationship. Please clarify.
Have you read the Constitution? Please address the constitutional issue.
Is there something better to do? Well. I could be speaking about our right to carry guns into church, but someone else is covering that!
Thanks for the emotional attack on Michiganians, unions, and all the people in the world you are not blessed with your education. It would be nice if you would use some of that education to address the issue with some facts.
It seems that because this constitutional issue does not affect you, it's not worth addressing. Are you drinking the blue Tea? If I can get Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck to rail against it, then will you look at it?
You obviously had a choice in how you received your pay. This law says an employer can mandate how you are paid. Isn't free choice the bedrock of individual rights and responsibilities?
I love your reliance on technology, but what happens when there is a power failure, and all ATMs and computer systems shut down. If all you money is on a debit card, you have no access to your funds. This has happened in the past year.
With all your supposed education, why would you invest in Reynolds? A college sophomore would know to invest in bank stocks to profit from this law.
I would also like to hear from "ridofusgovt". How is state government protecting our constitutional rights in this case. Do you have a sister, "ridofstategovt"?
I'm surprised that those who say they are defending the Constitution of the United States aren't all over this.
Article 1, section 8 states that it is the power of the U.S. Congress to coin money. Section 10 states "No state shall … make any Thing but gold and silver a Tender in Payment of Debts;"
The Federal Constitution and the powers granted to our national government protect all citizens from abuses of power, especially when monied interest exert their power. Those trying to weaken the powers of the federal government understand it is easier to undermine the Constitution if the federal government does not have the resources to enforce the law. So we hear this "states' rights" yell again, and here is a typical result.
Debit cards do have unanticipated fees. Banks have a full understanding of human behavior, and just "disclosing" a fee does not mean that consumers will take the extra steps to avoid those fees. So, as grattantroll states, this is a cost shift to consumers.
The article states "payroll checks require special ink and paper". Well, printing dollar bills requires special ink and paper, so does that mean the Federal government should not print money, and leave the making of currency to private banks?
I see nothing in the constitution that requires a person to have a bank account, yet it is nearly impossible to have a debit card without a bank account. Aren't we seeing this legislation picking winners and losers? Wal-Mart wanted to get into the debit card business, seeing that they could offer services to their customers, including those who may not or cannot have a checking account. But the banking industry fought against this.
This is a major loss of Constitutional rights, and all citizens of Michigan, as citizens of the United States of America, have a duty to resist this move.
One answer why Upton changed his vote might be Oil vs. Womens' Rights: http://members.localnet.com/~jeflan/jfafghanpipe.htm There is an international effort to build a oil pipeline through Afghanistan, avoiding Iran and Iraq. Advocates of womens' rights issues in Afghanistan are pressuring the U.S. and the United Nations to force whatever grop holds power in Afghanistan to reduce the oppression of women in that country. Part of these goals are expressed in "UN Agenda 21". The far right-wing is citing UN Agenda 21 as a part of a New World Order conspiracy. So to not anger the far right, Upton probably has to retreat.

Can Replacing Linux with Windows Save Millions?
A Microsoft study once more tries to prove that a company is clearly better off with Windows as its platform. Our colleagues at the Australian iTWire Magazine have reported back with an analysis to dispute that claim.
What first appears a success story really isn't. There were no real savings involved. Microsoft's study claimed that tool and equipment rental firm Speedy Hire can save 200,000 British pounds per year over five years by switching their systems from Linux to Windows and Microsoft Office.
The iTWire.com article first of all challenged the argument that Windows-based thin clients offered significant hardware cost savings over Linux-based ones. As the article says, "A thin client for Windows might be cheaper than a full-blown desktop PC, but Wyse bills the V50 as the Linux equivalent of the V90, and it is cheaper." Other areas challenged included support costs, software updates and patches, applications, authentication and performance. As the article progressed, the pounds kept dropping off. We wonder what will be left of the one million in five years.

Make Your Trading Truly Worthwhile
By Pharaoh
Back when the FPA was new, there was one unique bit of Felixs philosophy that really struck me. What caught my attention was that he talked about always donating 10% of his trading profits to a worthy cause. He said that when he did this, new opportunities opened up, and when he didnt do this, good opportunities were few and far between. This helped to resolve a deep ethical dilemma I have had with the whole concept of forex trading.
Let me explain that. As I understand him, Felix donates 10% for karmic reasons. Others might donate 10% for religious reasons. My view is something of a mix of these two. Think about the whole concept of forex trading for a moment and try to answer these questions:
1. What do we, as forex traders, accomplish?
2. Do we build things?
3. Do we contribute anything to the world economy (other than keeping forex brokers and other forex produce sellers employed)?
4. If the world banks locked all exchange rates tomorrow, would anyone (besides the brokers and product sellers) even miss us?
5. Is the world a better place directly because of our forex trading?
Sadly, the answers, in order, are: not much, no, no, no, and no.
The last question contains the key. The world isnt made into a better place DIRECTLY because of our trading, but if we contribute in other ways, then our trading can still serve a truly worthy purpose and help to make our world a better place.
I have my religious beliefs. Other people believe differently. Some do not believe at all. I have my philosophical beliefs, and know that yours are probably different. If you are such a cold, uncaring person that you want to make money ONLY for your own personal gratification and wouldnt spend one cent to make this world a better place, then I probably dont want to get to know you. Sure, Id LOVE to get rich trading forex (I'm still working on that), and I hope that others can too, but I want my (impending) wealth to mean something. Leaving money to worthy causes in your will is nice, but it would be even better to also see some of the money being put to good use NOW. There are a couple of good reasons for this. First, if the organization you donate to wastes the money, you can give money to some other group else the next time you find yourself in profit (its a little hard to change your will after youre dead). Secondly, it makes your forex trading about much more than just benefiting yourself (and maybe your immediate family). The scale of the cause doesnt matter, but your efforts do. You can donate to the local church down the street or to a charity that benefits the world. You can donate for curing cancer or for cleaning up the environment. Find one or more causes that matter to you and support them.
Obviously, if your mother suddenly needs brain surgery or there is some other terrible family emergency, you can consider that to be part your donation. You should never have to decide between donating to charity vs. feeding your children (or yourself). Then again, if you are living so close to the edge that ten percent of your profits or even one bad trade could mean skipping meals, you really should find some other way to make your base income more reliable and save up for forex trading later.
Preaching isnt my calling. Im not going to tell you what to believe in. There are plenty of people out there who will be happy to share their religion or philosophy with you. You can believe in God, you can believe in karma, you can believe in fate, you can believe in the Will of the Macrocosm. All I ask is that you believe in something, anything that will make you want to improve the world. Next, dont just believe, but act on your beliefs. Put some of your money (and maybe a little bit of your time) into your chosen cause(s).
You dont have to stay with one cause exclusively. Its a donation, not a marriage. Ive donated to Chinese earthquake relief. Ive donated to a local homeless shelter. Ive donated to environmental groups. Recently, I was stunned to find out that a small donation I made to a group that helps pay for educating poor children in China was more than enough to send 3 children to school for an entire year. I think I'll try to find out how much it would cost to build a small school in one of the places they support next year. Im also planning a donation to a local shelter for stray cats. (I've adopted 3 wonderful cats from that shelter in the last few years.) Just make sure you always have at least one cause to support .
There are plenty of worthy causes out there. Make sure to do some research so that you dont accidentally end up donating to a scam site posing as a worthy cause. Check closely, since there are a lot of scam sites with very similar names to well-known causes. Its pretty easy to run a quick google search find the correct website for well-known causes and to make sure they arent tied up in some sort of scandal.
The FPA tries to help save the world from forex scams. See if you can help save the world from other problems. Unless your chosen cause is developing cheaper spaceflight, it's the only world we'll have ready access to for a long time to come, so let's take care of it.
If anyone wants to list links to any established causes that they support in this thread, I'd love to see them.

Make Your Trading Truly Worthwhile
I don't see a truly inherent conflict. If one desires to do well so that one can share with others, this is not a bad thing at all. It's only if one desires to do well purely for selfish reasons that it becomes bad.
If you try to benefit the world, this will give you a more positive outlook on life and you may very well be more likely to see opportunities that you might have missed otherwise. Maybe new opportunities really happen, but maybe this just enhances one's ability to see opportunities that were already there. It's not an easy thing to put to a scientific test.
Plus, I doubt anyone makes donations of any sort with an expectation that it will cause them to live a life of failure and misery.

Giving and Receiving...both important!
Thanks,I love your article!
Below is a link to the cause i support ...its helps promote "peace dignity and prosperity" for all and,just as importantly,for those who are interested,can help show an individual how to go within to find self-knowledge and true peace and contentment.
The Prem Rawat Foundation
Trading for Life
I actually heard a little more about theory that Felix has. He did also some calculations which he came up with on his own and do know that it helps him to find a meaning in Forex and wealth building. I think by donating money to charities helps you to balance out your mental state and control greed and many other factors which we gain unconsciously as we make more and more money in Forex. The key is to give that money without any regret or something else in mind which would make you feel uncomfortable.
Overall I think that formula works when you give something you get more in return, but as long as you not expecting and not asking for it.
The Benefit Of Traders
I disagree with your position that traders contribute nothing directly to the economy. They directly serve to moderate the fluctuation of prices in the market. If we weren't stepping in to trade the peaks and valleys of price movements when they move to extremes prices would continue to move even further in those directions. Some buyers would be paying too much or too little and the corresponding sellers would also be receiving bad prices. It may not be possible to prove this truth as a practical matter but if you think about what happens in any economy you can recognize that it is true. We take a risk to provide this service. It has value. Obviously great value based on the profits that can be made (or lost).
I will, someday
Believe me as soon as I can make some decent money at trading forex, I would love the opportunity to find somewhere to donate money and be like one of those rich philantropists. Alas I have yet to make some money, perhaps God/Buddha/The Great Spirit doesn't trust that I will donate. Actually I did make alot of money trading before, and I only donated a small amount of it for kids in Africa, but less than 0.5% of my earnings....oh well in the end I donated it all back to the market, perhaps the traders on the other side of my loosing trade donated it. Dam Forex, not only does it take discipline, education, software, and especially a good broker that wants to donate money to you but giving you a slow price feed, but also you have to be the most morally upstanding, politically correct member of the planet to justify taking the money of others thru trading.
Well there are different values and ways to understand that "Giving something and not expecting in return". Think of having your kids and giving them money for education, food or any other needs. Are you expecting them to pay you back as they start making money ? I think if you do that would be selfish. They way you described that quote is more of a scientific way but it cannot apply to morals and values that people have towards things, although we are all different and some of us have scientific formulas for just about everything on this plannet and outside of it.
