Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.
All stories about Economic opportunity
Iraq: 'I'm an employee now'
Hamid Jassim is the 52-year-old father of a big family – he has two sons and three daughters, and is known in his community as Abo Mustafa. I met him while he was working as a laborer on a project for the rehabilitation of Basma Kindergarten, in the Jalawla neighborhood outside of Khanaqin.
West Bank and Gaza: Empowering the techno-geeks of Palestine
This summer, I attended an event in the Gaza Strip with 100 computer-science students and budding entrepreneurs about the latest open-source software and development tools, showcased by engineers visiting from Google.
Indonesia: Old wounds reopened in Ambon
"Ambon manise," (am-bone mah-nee-say) muttered the bewildered project coordinator of Mercy Corps's Spice Up the Deal Project, as we stood watching midnight fires erupt in Ambon City below us.
Ethiopia: A sense of pride
We were recently asked to create a large-scale permanent photography collection for the gallery attached to our Portland Action Center. This image by Thatcher Cook was one of the selections.
Japan: Six months after the quake
Six months after the massive 9.0 earthquake struck eastern Japan on March 11, Mercy Corps continues to work with our partner agency, Peace Winds Japan, to bring relief and recovery to people in need.
Kenya: Without water in West Wajir
"Look. Over there. See them?"
Haiti: Tatie's Home, a bakery in Port-au-Prince
Tatie grew up in a family of seven children, and wanted to own her own business since she was a little girl. While just a young student, Tatie's mother passed away and Tatie began raising her younger brother and god-daughter.
Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia: Horn of Africa disaster didn't happen overnight
Photos and stories from the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa — a region that includes Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia — have brought to light suffering on an almost unimaginable scale.
Zimbabwe: Vocational training helps youths find jobs in Zimbabwe
Twenty-year-old Nyasha Zulu and 21-year-old Simbarashe Mudara have lived most of their lives in the dormitory town of Chitungwiza, 30 kilometers from Zimbabwe's capital, Harare.
Haiti: Mobile wallets help Haitians rebuild
Families needed food. Small vendors and local economies needed cash. And it turns out the solution to this Catch-22 was right in the hands — or the pockets — of most Haitians.

(USA TODAY) -- Whether you're conservative or liberal, left-leaning or far right, we can all agree with President Obama on this: Notre Dame's neon green Adidas uniforms are hideous.
"I am wearing a green tie today because we've got the Irish prime minister visiting," he told Andy Katz, "but that neon glow thing wasn't working for me."
Obama's comments got back to the Fighting Irish. They promptly gave the perfect response -- sending Obama a customized neon green jersey of his own.

Have you heard of "Lookism" - you might since we tend to follow American trends.
According to experts being good looking is a definite advantage in getting a job or promotion, and ugly people are discriminated against.
"Lookism", it is claimed, is the new racism, and should be banished from civilised societies. It is currently the subject of several court actions in America, and some experts say similar cases should be considered here too.
Economist Daniel Hamermesh argues that ugliness is no different from race or a disability, and suggests unattractive people deserve legal protection saying, "My research shows being good-looking helps you earn more money, find a higher-earning spouse and even get better deals on mortgages".
Do you, do we all, subconciously discriminate on the basis of looks?
If you were interviewing for a new member of staff and had two candidates identical in every other way would you employ the one with film start looks rather than the overweight one with a face that could stop a clock ?
Nobody is perfect, and I choose staff mostly on attitude, and partly on skills.
There will always be jobs where looks, and body size are important, eg. normal models will need to be thin, but there are 'large size' models too, where being thin would be a definite handicap, and a 20 stone jockey wouldn't be very successful either.
I would not employ men, or women, who think good looks, charm or flirtation are a replacement for hard work, but as said earlier, they would fail the 'attitude' test, exactly the same as an ignorant anti-social person would fail.
I remember a TV program a while ago where they tested out attitudes of employers, and the general public. The employers shied away from the potential employees that had facial disfigurements, but the general public actually bought more from them than they did from the attractive competition, and were quite happy to be served by the ones with a facial disfigurement.
Good looks can count against you
I might not hire someone if I thought their assets (to use an accounting term!) would distract me constantly!
But seriously it's all about attitude and ability (in that order) as Shirley says. Plus what counts as attractive to one person can be the opposite to another. I've never understood the so-called appeal of Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, to me they're the wrong side of average.
Of course if there were 2 identical other than appearance people applying for a job with me I'd turn them both down - they'd have to be mutants because every human I know is different in personality :-)
Flash Gordon - "Good looks can count against you"
Yes I know, I've often had that problem :)
Actually this is something that we might all have to face at some point. According to Dr Taylor, a psychologist at Bath University, juries are heavily influenced by a defendant's physical appearance. Ugly suspects, her findings suggest, are almost 50 per cent more likely to be found guilty than those thought to be attractive. (So when your lawyer tells you to look smart and well groomed he's giving you good advice).
Acting on expert advice David Cameron changed his parting from right to left - apparently because he had been told that left-hand side partings suggest a sensitive nature, more attractive to women voters.
Polls show that most people assume that overweight people are idle, and therefore not such good employees.
Other studies suggest that tall men (but not thin & tall) are promoted more quickly and get higher up the corporate ladder.
We have all seen cases of unsuccessful job candidates alleging racism, sexism, or ageism when turned down, and many industrial tribunal cases involve such allegations.
Lookism is now excercising the courts in America, and it's only a matter of time before we have to be as careful about it here as we already have to be about other "isms".
The following is a study into what looks like being the next "ism".

About Dr. Paul S. Aisen
Paul Aisen has been conducting therapeutic research on Alzheimer's disease for the past two decades.
Dr. Aisen received his BA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Harvard in 1975, and his
medical degree from Columbia in 1979. He completed residency training in Internal Medicine at
Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, and
then fellowship training in Rheumatology at New York University. After serving as Chief Medical Resident at
Mount Sinai, he began a solo practice in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology in New York City.
Dr. Aisen maintained a close affiliation with Mount Sinai, and joined the full-time faculty in 1994.
His research interests, stemming from his background in rheumatology, geriatric medicine and dementia,
included inflammatory mechanisms in the brain and novel therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease.
He began collaborative studies with the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) in the early 1990's.
Dr. Aisen joined the faculty at Georgetown University in 1999 as Professor in the Departments
of Neurology and Medicine. That year, he founded the Memory Disorders Program, a clinical and
research program for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. He continued basic research
studies on therapeutic targets and biomarkers of AD and designed and directed multicenter
therapeutic trials. Dr. Aisen was appointed Associate Director of the ADCS in 2003.
He became Vice Chair of the Department of Neurology at Georgetown in 2004. He has collaborated
extensively with the biotech and pharmaceutical industries for many years.
Following the tragic death of ADCS founder Leon Thal, M.D. in early 2007, Dr. Aisen relocated
to UCSD to assume the position of Director of the ADCS and Professor of Neurosciences.

Monday, Dec. 17, 2012
BARNWELL COUNTY, S.C. -- Blackville-Hilda High School was put on lockdown Monday after school officials learned of a bomb threat.
Students were moved to the gym so the Barnwell County Sheriff's Department could search the school. After searching the building and the student's home, investigators did not find any evidence of a bomb or bomb-making materials.
Superintendent Dr. Teresa Larke Pope says the student typed up a message on a TI-83 Plus calculator at 9:55 a.m. saying, "Whoever is reading this ... there is a bomb in the school."
A teacher read the message and reported it to Principal David Norman, and the school's crisis management plan was set into motion.
"I assure you all precautions were taken and everything is running smoothly and will continue to do so the rest of the day," said Norman in an email to teachers and staff members .
In an email to Board of Education members, Pope says she visited the high school and will be visiting the schools in the district throughout the day "to ensure a safe and normal environment for our students."
In a news release, Pope said, "We are all taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff."
The Blackville Police Department also assisted the school throughout the day.

Darci Marchese, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Typically, one or two people report a stolen electronic device on Metro each day. But Wednesday, seven thefts were reported in more than 12 hours.
Metro says the thefts occurred throughout the region.
"There doesn't appear to be a common threat between them. It appears that these were all isolated incidences," says Metro spokeswoman Caroline Lucas.
Although seven thefts are unusual, six times the average rate, Lucas says Metro routinely sees a spike in thefts this time of year.
"Typically we see higher incidence of snatch-thefts of electronic devices in the months of January and February," says Lucas.
She says people tend to get new gadgets over the holidays and spend even more time focused on them.
"People are still enthralled with them and so they tend to be a little less cognizant of their surroundings," she says.
Lucas says she would like to see riders put their gadgets away while on Metro but she knows that's unrealistic.
"So, at least look up, see who's around you. Pay attention to your surroundings," Lucas recommends.
Lucas says the Metro Transit Police Department is focused on trying to stop thefts by deploying crime-suppression teams out on Metro. Officers make themselves easy targets for thieves and then arrest them.
Lucas urges riders to call police immediately if they have cellphones stolen, so carriers can block them.

Green rejects Ferguson appeal
Wednesday, October 31, 2012
Ryan Ferguson should remain in prison because he didn't prove his "actual innocence" in the killing of Columbia Daily Tribune Sports Editor Kent Heitholt, 11 years ago tonight, Cole County Circuit Judge Dan Green ruled this afternoon.
In a 40-page ruling, Green said Ferguson did show, successfully, that witness Jerry Trump's "recantation is credible and true — as to his falsely identifying (Ferguson); but not credible and false as to the reason for his perjury being the actions of (former Prosecutor) Kevin Crane and the State."
But Green rejected Ferguson's claim that co-defendant Charles Erickson's recantation had any weight.
Green noted that Erickson's "recantation" in 2011, prompting Ferguson's attorneys to file his petition for release from prison or a new trial, "was significantly different from his recantation at the April 2012 hearing."
Green ruled that Erickson's recantation of his original testimony that Ferguson helped kill Heitholt was "not credible and (was) false."
Erickson pleaded guilty to the murder in 2004, and is serving a 25-year prison sentence.
He then testified against Ferguson in an October 2005 trial in Boone County. Based on the jury's conviction of second-degree murder, Ferguson is serving a 40-year prison term at the Jefferson City Correctional Center.
Both men were 17 when Heitholt was killed.
Ferguson now is 28.
Heitholt's body was found on the ground, next to his car in the Columbia Tribune's parking lot, about 2:25 a.m. Nov. 1, 2001.
Investigators said he had been beaten, and strangled with his own belt.

Périgueux : Michelin's recommendations
The ancient city with its Gallo-Roman villa crowned by a glass roof by Jean Nouvel stands on one side of the town, with the medieval and Renaissance district on the other, including the Cathédrale St-Front, with Byzantine cupolas by Paul Abadie. The modern Place de Francheville, with a garden and cinema complex, lies between the two. These two districts join up and follow a "green" path (voie verte) running along the River Isle, providing pleasant walks and different views of the town.

game help!
Can anyone tell me a good strategy for catching Raikou? In Pokemon FireRed I chose squirtle, and have run into the Legendary Pokemon before, but now I can't find it!
Have you beaten the Elite 4 ?if so then just have patience and keep wandering around Kanto until you find him and make sure that your starter is the one to battle Raikou and if you still have the Masterball USE it and if not go to the same routine (give it ailments[poison,sleep,etc.] and the essential Ultra Balls)Magma Masher 12:31, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
DYK Editor help
Okay, the page editor for standard pages is easy, I don't know how to use the editor for the DYK. And since I don't want to figure it out, could someone put this on for me?
... That Tornadous is the only pure flying type?
I'm gonna be honest here, out of all the wikia wikis this one is by far the worst written wiki I've ever come across, Every article is completely biased, poorly written and contains comepletely unworthy material. Like look at this text from the Black & White anime article, Team Rocket abandons their goofy selves and start to become serious, like what the hell? that text looks like it was written by an 8 year old. Wikis are supposed to be unbiased and represent neutral point of views not by pulling words out of your ***, things here need to change 220.127.116.11 07:45, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Another reason why we are moving away from Wikia: to make a fresh start in hopes of finally getting better content. Prior to joining this wiki, I found a lot of articles to be quite messy. I wanted to help out by improving them, although I never was able to get to it. There's a lot of work to put in this wiki, and hopefully in the future, it gets a little better.

Still looking for a girlfriend...haven't ever really talked to girls about being more than friends..and i'm 22
Pleasuring my partner is very important to me, and it gives me pleasure to do so, so the go hand in hand, for me at least.
This has been the case for me up until recently. I have been too shy (due to inexperience, mostly) to pleasure my boyfriend and he's seemed content with just giving me pleasure, but I feel as if it's unbalanced (which I'm sure it is). Now I've become more interested in pleasuring him as well, though I haven't tried anything yet.

The distance a binocular can be held away from the eye and still present the full field-of-view. Extended or long eye relief reduces eyestrain and is ideal for eyeglass wearers
In roof prism binoculars, the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line. Roof prism binoculars are less bulky and more rugged than an equivalent porror model.
In porro prism binoculars, the objective or front lens is offset from the eyepiece. Porro prism binoculars provide a greater depth perception and generally offer a wider field-of-view. Because of the simplicity of this system, some of the best values can be with a porro design.
Some binoculars are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for total waterproof and fogproof protection. These modesl can withstand complete immersion in water and stay dry inside. The interior optical surfaces won't fog due to rapid temperature change or humidity.
Binoculars are often referred to by two numbers separated by an "x". For example, 8x32. The first number is the power of magnification of the binocular. With an 8x32 binocular, the object being viewed appears to be eight times closer than you would see it with the unaided eye.
The second number in the formula (8x32) is the diameter of the objective front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular and the brighter the image.
Most optical prisms are made from boroscillicate (BK-7) glass or barium crown (BaK-4) glass. BaK-4 is the higher quality glass yielding brighter images and high edge-to-edge sharpness.
Lens surface coatings reduce light loss and glare due to reflection for a brighter, higher-contrast image with less eyestrain.
The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide-angle binocular features a wide field-of-view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field-of-view.
Resolution, or definition, is the ability of a binocular to distinguish fine detail and retain clarity.
Refers to the size of the circle of light visible at the eyepiece of a binocular. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image. To determine the size, divide the objective lens diameter by the power (an 8x32 model has an exit pupil of 4mm).
A "fine focus" adjustment ring usually provided around one eyepiece to accommodate for vision differences between the right and left eyes.
Our exclusive, patented, hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating on which condensation from rain, fog or snow forms in much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller droplets scatter less light, which results in increased light transmission and a clearer image. Makes the binocular useful even when looking directly into the driving rain.
Found on the best roof prism binoculars, this chemical coating is applied to the prisms to enhance resolution and contrast. Would not provide an advantage on porro prism models.
ED Prime Extra-Low Dispersion glass delivers amazing color resolution and contrast, and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration and color-fringing to bring out the most distinct details possible in low-light conditions.
Trophy® XLT binoculars are made with enviro-friendly materials. That
means we use no lead in the glass lenses or prisms, no PVC in the
binocular case, no PAHs in the binocular itself and 100% recycled
paper board packaging. Now you can see the outdoors with stunning clarity, and do your part to keep it beautiful.
An anti-reflection coating process that is customized for every lens element in the optical path, in order to allow the maximum amount of light from the front glass all the way back to the eyepiece. The result? Optimum brightness and true color across the light spectrum.
As light passes through the many prisms and lenses of a roof-prism binocular, some light is usually lost along the way. Our exclusive new XTR technology – utilizing 60 layers of coatings on each prism – conserves, harnesses and optimizes the available light. XTR delivers an amazing 99.73% light transmission per lens for a combined light transmission of 90%, making the Bushnell Elite® series the brightest binocular in its class.

The valves in the veins usually channel the flow of blood toward the heart. When these valves are damaged, blood leaks and pools in the legs and feet. Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins fail to return blood efficiently to the heart. This condition usually involves one or more veins. Symptoms include swelling of the legs and pain in the extremities such as a dull aching, heaviness, or cramping.

Where is everybody at on this one? Iowa State has won in Boulder one time since 2002.
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
Another day another loss.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
Least-ugly team wins.
As Clubber Lang would say: PAIN.
We never play well there. Colorado by 9.
No reason we can't win this game. But I've been saying that all season. Lose by 5. 61-56.
Lose a horrible, ugly game.
Kansas wears Adidas.
Just got done writing my preview. Went CU 75, ISU 73 in a heartbreaker.
We win by 1.75 points.
I say we will pull this win out. The team needs it, we need it, and Boulder deserves it.
There is no reason to lose this game. However, we have McDermott on the sideline, thus a lackluster performance right out of the second half will occur. I see the Clones losing: (hope I am wrong though....really don't want a chance to finish last in the conference.)
The Breakdown: Iowa State @ Colorado | Cyclone Fanatic
Colorado has looked awful in recent games, so I am going to go against my gut and say that we win this one by mid-single digits.
I'll say 68-63 Clones.

Grip 'n' Go™ provide active toddlers with the ideal combination of protection and flexibility as they improve their walking ability.
Sizes: EU 22-38 (US 6 kids-6 youth)
Flex® are the perfect choice for confident walkers who have developed a solid, natural stride. With cushioned arch support and a soft, flexible rubber sole, Flex® ensure comfort and healthy foot development. In addition, the Flex Fit System™ allows you to adjust the fit of Flex® shoes to prolong wear.
pediped Originals® are the first step in the pediped® footwear system and the best first shoes your child will ever wear. When children learn to walk, they tend to shuffle, so it is important for their feet to feel the floor. Doctors recommend shoes with soft leather soles because they most closely mimic barefoot walking and do not force children to change their natural stride.
Originals® feature soft, flexible leather soles and a roomy toebox so feet can move, grip, and feel the floor. This way, little feet can grow properly and develop strength, musculature, and the grasping action of the toes. Originals® closely resemble the natural shape of the foot and are so comfortable your child will not want to take them off!
We encourage children to stay in Originals® as long as possible, but once your child is walking, he or she can transition to pediped Grip 'n' Go
pediped Grip 'n' Go™ are the perfect shoes for a toddler transitioning from early walking to walking with a more confident stride. Grip 'n' Go™ are made with all the benefits of Originals® but with special G2 Technology™ for active toddlers. G2 Technology™ includes a specialized soft rubber sole, rounded edges that mimic the natural shape of a child's foot, heel stability and a soft toe box that allows toes to curl and grip the floor.
Grip 'n' Go™ are great for indoor and outdoor wear and provide active toddlers the ideal combination of protection and flexibility as they improve their walking ability. Once your child is walking confidently, he or she is ready for pediped Flex®.
pediped Flex® is the big step in the pediped footwear system and the ultimate shoe for confident walkers who have developed a solid, natural stride. Flex® combine everything you could want in a rubber soled shoe: high quality materials, soft and flexible soles, and adorable styles.
Each pair uses advanced technology to maximize the flexibility and absorb shock in the heel. The uniquely engineered density of the rubber soles ensures they flex to their maximum capacity.
Most Flex® styles include the Flex Fit System™, which provides a customizable fit with the use of additional insoles. These can be inserted for a snugger fit at the beginning and then removed as the foot grows. The Flex Fit System™ can extend the life of a pair of shoes up to two months!
pediped Flex® are the perfect, stylish choice for all-day wear and non-stop comfort.

The great evolutionary changes of this epoch are in the mind. No, I don't meant you're imagining them. I mean they're taking place in the extraordinary workings of the nerves and synapses of the brain.
It's a little like growing up. Kids start out with no ability to reason. Gradually, they learn. They learn that hitting their friends to get what they want isn't a good idea. They learn that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny aren't real. They learn that everybody's parents aren't just like theirs.
Some kids take longer than others to learn. Some kids never do — they get stuck somewhere, for some reason, and never become wholly adults. You know the type. You've seen them at 40, angry at the world for not giving in to their every demand, blaming everyone but themselves for their ills.
They've never grown up, never evolved past that time in the distant past when their parents gave them everything because they were too small and helpless to fend for themselves. And now they see anything good and decent happening to and for other people as a direct affront to themselves, to their own deep-seeded feelings of inadequacy.
Society, humans — we grow up too, as a group. But since we're made up of individual humans who are all at different levels of growing up, the group doesn't mature all at once. The group has to wait for its individual members to push it to the next level. Kinda like how sometimes, when we're younger, some parts of our bodies grow faster than others. Look at kittens, with their giant ears. They'll "grow into them" the way a human child might have exceptionally large feet at 8 and "grow into the them" by 12.
We humans are "growing into" a new (for many), more cooperative and compassionate way of looking at the world. We're evolving, becoming more human.
The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer says firefighters in Tennessee, who stood by and watched a house burn to the ground because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 fee, did the "right thing," the "Christian thing." If that's the Christian thing, or even the right thing (which it most definitely isn't), then I want no part of it. It's not the human — the humane — thing to do.
Fischer says critics "have fallen prey to a weakened, feminized version of Christianity that is only about softer virtues such as compassion and not in any part about the muscular Christian virtues of individual responsibility and accountability."
Really? I say the firefighters who just stood there — and the fire chief who ordered them to — have fallen prey to a cynical, inhumane version of humanity that is only about having no virtues at all and not in any part about the very human virtues of compassion and a desire to help out your fellow man (and woman).
Those firefighters, and their chief, are still children. Their decisions weren't about "individual responsibility and accountability." They were about screwing the guy who didn't play by the rules they set up. And that takes us to whoever it was who devised this system. Those guys are nothing but playground bullies. They turned their backs on Gene Cranick when he said he'd pay them anything if they'd save his house.
The firefighters responded to the call in case the fire spread to any neighbors who did pay the fee, which it did, and that fire they doused. That guy had given them his lunch money, bought into the protection racket the other children of Obion County put in place.
The right thing? In whose world? Oh, right. The conservatives' world. The one where everything should be privatized because wealthy businesspeople know best how to run the world. And if you don't agree, well, you'll lose everything you own when your house burns down.
Kinda like not voting for an extension of unemployment benefits in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
More evolved people would never have set up such a system. They know that society functions best when its individual members band together. In smaller groups, order can be easily maintained with consensus decision-making. But as the group gets larger, some kind of governing structure needs to be in place.
The founders of the United States put in place a pretty good system. Sure, it's flawed, as were the founders — although they were the most evolved people of their day. But now the less evolved have grown up enough to learn how to circumvent the protections put in place by those men. They've learned how to convince other unevolved people of the "wisdom" of their ideas, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
We, on the other hand, can't stoop that low. We just can't. Once upon a time, we could. Once upon a time, the left had no problems lying or instigating violence to get what it wanted. But we've grown up since then. We can't do that anymore, because it's wrong. Just like standing by while some poor schlump's house burns down.
It's evolution, plain and simple. Cro-magnon man won the race with neanderthal man. Progressives will win the race with regressives. But there's no reasoning with them — they lack the ability to reason. They can't see what we can see, just like somewhere out there are people who see far more than we can, who have evolved beyond our comprehension.
It's a small world for the unevolved. Every indication of change is a threat. They band together tighter and tighter while we expand our horizons and look beyond the immediate. They look to myths and legends to answer questions we know have answers in science and knowledge.
Humans have progressed and still are progressing, always will. But every human society must contend with those too fearful to go forward, those who would much rather go to back to times they think would be easier — when answers came from some higher place and humanity didn't have to think for itself or look beyond immediate families or tribes for protections. Because other families, other tribes, were too threatening.
We don't live there anymore, and we'll never go back, no matter how hard they try. They can only make things harder for themselves — and for us.
No wonder they don't believe in evolution. It's the one constant thing, the one thing they can't bear to contemplate.
Next up, I take on the New World Order, and the NWO wins.

Susie replies:
Can a girl get pregnant if she's on top with no condom?
I was wondering why we were getting this question a lot lately. Then last week, I saw the movie 'Knocked Up.' Lo and behold, one of the characters in the movie claims (and exclaims) that a girl can't get pregnant if she's on top. 'Cause of gravity and all that.
WRONG! So totally not true!!!
Yes, women can get pregnant if they are on top and the man ejaculates into her. Granted, yes, gravity works against the bulk of the semen, and a lot of it can dribble back out. But there is usually enough residue in there to allow some sperm to make their way into the reproductive tract. On a very microscopic level, there are special mucus proteins in the cervix that help guide the sperm up into the body as well as tiny "fingers" called cilia on some of the epithelial cells in the reproductive tract that work to sweep sperm towards the upper reproductive tract. Remember folks, nature wants you to reproduce. That doesn't mean it'll happen at the most opportune times. But nature has been around far longer than you or me, and a simple ploy like waiting for gravity to cause sperm to leak out of the woman isn't going to outsmart or suffice against millions of years of evolution.
Instead, if you really want to prevent pregnancy, the man needs to wear a condom, and the woman can use a second method of birth control like hormonal birth control pills, a diaphragm or cervical cap.
For more info, please read:
By the way, if anyone cares, I really liked 'Knocked Up.' I thought it was freakin' hilarious, and the story was actually pretty sweet. Rent it if you haven't already seen it.

As if to complete the trifecta, this week Janis Lane-Ewart became the third female executive director of a Twin Cities community media institution to leave her position, following Pam Colby from MTN and Jane Minton from IFP. Lane-Ewart, who had been the executive director of KFAI since 2001 (and host of the jazz program "The Collective Eye" before that) oversaw the organization during a transformative time for community radio stations, during which the station has become not just about transmitting over the airwaves, but also about connecting to people through the web and social media. On its website, KFAI, which was founded 35 years ago at Walker Community Church and now is based on the West Bank in Minneapolis, states that Pam Hill Kroyer, now in her 13th year with the organization, has been appointed acting executive director for the immediate future. During Lane-Ewart's tenure, the organization has become more diverse. Part of her legacy has been the implementation of Youth News, which gives young people an opportunity to gain skills and have their voices heard. Continue Reading →

31 U.S. Code § 751 - Organization
prev | next
(a) The Government Accountability Office has a General Accounting Office Personnel Appeals Board. [1] The Board is composed of 5 members appointed by the Comptroller General. An individual may be appointed only if the individual—
(1) is not a current or former officer or employee of the Office or of the Architect of the Capitol, the Botanic Garden, or the Senate Restaurants,; [2]
(2) has the demonstrated ability, background, training, and experience necessary to be qualified specially to serve on the Board; and
(b) The Comptroller General shall appoint members only—
(1) after considering any candidates who are recommended to the Comptroller General (at such time and in such manner as the Comptroller General requires) by organizations composed primarily of individuals experienced in adjudicating or arbitrating personnel matters; and
(2) after the Comptroller General consults with organizations representing employees of the Office and with any member of each committee of Congress, having legislative jurisdiction over the personnel management system maintained under section 732 of this title, whom the chairman of the committee designates.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the term of a member of the Board is 5 years. A member may not be reappointed. An individual appointed to fill a vacancy occurring before the expiration of a term of office is appointed for the remainder of the term. However, if the unexpired part of a term is less than one year, the Comptroller General may appoint an individual for a 5-year term plus the unexpired part of the term. When the term of a member ends, the member may continue to serve until a successor takes office or for 6 months after the term expires, whichever is earlier.
(A) The term of a member serving on the date of the enactment of the General Accounting Office Personnel Amendments Act of 1988 shall be as follows:
(i) Of the 2 members appointed in 1985, the term of 1 such member shall be 5 years, and the term of the other such member shall be 6 years.
(ii) Of the 2 members appointed in 1986, the term of 1 such member shall be 6 years, and the term of the other such member shall be 7 years.
(B) Within 60 days after the date referred to in subparagraph (A), the Comptroller General shall determine—
(i) with respect to the members under subparagraph (A)(i), which will have a term of 5 years and which will have a term of 6 years; and
(C) A term established for a member under this paragraph shall be measured—
(d) A member may be removed by a majority of the Board (except the member subject to removal) only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. A member subject to removal shall be given notice and an opportunity for a hearing before the Board unless the member waives the opportunity in writing.
(e) While carrying out a member's duties (including travel), a member who is not an officer or employee of the United States Government is entitled to basic pay at a rate equal to the daily rate of basic pay payable for grade GS–18 of the General Schedule. Each member is entitled to travel expenses and per diem allowances under section 5703 of title 5.

Everyone's invited
so nobody gets left out of the conversation
Hangouts works the same everywhere - computers, Android and iOS devices, so you can get the whole gang together no matter what device they're on.
Hangout with all your closest friends, family, sports buddies or even those old classmates you never get to see anymore. You know who has read up to where, when someone is typing and it's easy to add more people to a group at any time. You can also see who's reachable right now on Hangouts: green icons mean they are, and gray icons mean they aren't.
Desktop experience
With Hangouts, you can always connect with others, even from your computer. And your conversations are always synced so it's easy to pick up right where you left off.
Talk with your friends while multitasking reading and sending emails. If you are opted out of Hangouts in Gmail, you can always click on your profile photo in the chat list and select "Try the new Hangouts" to get started.
Hangouts works right inside Google+, just like it does with Gmail. So type away, share photos from your Google+ albums, and view shared photos full screen.
Across Computers
The Chrome app works across your desktop, even when Chrome isn't open. This means new Hangouts will always be highlighted on your screen, no matter what you're working on or which browser you're using.
The computer app requires the Chrome runtime
Mobile experience
Hangouts works the same everywhere - computers, Android and iOS devices, so you can get the whole gang together no matter what device they're on. If you enable SMS for Hangouts, you'll receive message even when you're not connected to the internet. Messages are delivered as SMS and you can reply by SMS as well. Enable SMS for Hangouts
Hangouts transitions effortlessly between desktop and mobile so you can start a Hangout on your computer, and continue it on the go!
iPhone, iPad and iPod
You can call phones and most calls to the US and Canada are free! International calling is available too at super low rates. If you're a Google Voice user, calls can be made and received from any of your iOS devices.*
Get the app The Apple app works on iOS 6.1+ across iPhone 4+, iPad 2+, iPad Mini and iPod Touch 4th generation.
Your SMS and MMS messages are right in the same spot as all your online conversations and video calls. So when someone sends you a message, you'll see it in your Hangouts app no matter how they send it.
Get the app The Android app works on Android 2.3+.
Say more
with Photos & GIFs, Emoji and Location
Whether you're talking just with that special someone or figuring out Friday night plans with the whole gang, say more than just words. Conversations can easily be relived by scrolling back in time and photos sent and received are also available in your Google+ albums.
Photos & GIFs
A photo is worth a thousand words. A GIF? Probably a million! Share into conversations from your camera, phone gallery or Google+ albums. Even better, photos and GIFs shared in Hangouts are saved in an album for the whole group to enjoy later.
Feeling tired? Watching a movie? Craving some icecream? Hangouts has more than 850 hand-drawn emoji to help express whatever you need to say, in a fun new way. From dozens of smiley (and silly) faces, to food, clothing accessories and more, find exactly the emoji to make your point.
Make every "Where are you?" easier to answer with built-in, sharable maps. Tap the placemark icon at the bottom of the Hangout to send a pin with your exact location. Then, just stay put, your friends will be arriving shortly!
Say hello like you're really together
with built-in group Voice and Video calls
Sometimes you really need to laugh out loud. Turn any Hangout into a live video call with up to 10 friends or simply choose a contact to start a phone call - and your conversations just flow from text-to-video/voice-and-back, in a matter of clicks. Who says you can't be together even when you're not?
Video Calls
With one touch, you can get face-to-face with one friend or a whole bunch. Video calls ring your friends wherever they use Hangouts - phone, tablet or computer, so they'll know you're calling. Effects like silly hats and built-in apps make video calls even more playful and productive.
Voice Calls
Having a bad hair day but still want to talk? Then just start a voice call in Hangouts. Once you're talking, it's easy to add more people or switch to video mode if you like. Hangouts voice calls are available on Android, iOS, and desktop. Calls are free to most numbers in the US and Canada, and international rates are super, super low.*

Make Your Own Zero-Calorie Cookie Plate
I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet but if you want to make your own goodies this Christmas season now is the time. This cookie plate won't add an inch to your thighs this Christmas. But the cookies you put on it might. Especially if you leave Santa Oreos like we do...I think there is a rule that you have to eat the whole row in one sitting (like Thin Mints) We built our own plate from scratch using clay at our local paint your own pottery-type store when she was 4 and half years old. But, you could just as easily glaze a plain (pre-made) plate with your little one. Or...find one of those paint a plate at home craft kits at your local craft store. You could even get super-dooper crafty and make your own with Sculpey clay and cook it in your home oven.
The Frog Princess and I made this plate using clay coils to form a basic plate shape. Then, we rolled out flat slabs of clay (like a pancake) and cut out cookie shapes with real cookie cutters and attached them around the perimeter like a wreath. After a bisque firing in the kiln we came back to the store and painted it with glaze followed by one more trip through the kiln and voila! Fabulous homemade cookie plate for Santa's cookies every Christmas eve (and a display for mommy's China hutch the rest of the year)
The following year, she painted a Santa mug to go with it. Alas, I love it so much I'm afraid to put it in our regular coffee mug rotation (I'm afraid it will get broken) so instead it holds candy canes in my hutch.
Ho-ho-ho...happy early crafting!

...and figuring out what I have pics of and what I need pics of. I've had this 11-1/2 inch barrel SBR for some time now; it was built for me by Fulton Armory here in Maryland. It shoots great and it's probably my favorite out of my 5 AR-15s.

They may ignore alot of advice, and i would defenetly recommend them to. Just opening the discussion themselves is more then enough to me. It's saying that they know stuff may be broken and need a second opinion, and people have a place to cry and moan in.
But that's for afterwards. Up front for things like Ex Cards, it would be nice to ask around what would be a fun addition to Carbuncles. What would be needed for TGC. What would people like to see happening to Falkow. Any ideas on grimcount additions?
I can make a dozen of questions that could be interesting for the designteam to ask. Clearly they walk around wondering themselves at times. Like how TGC Martials are a big failure to try. Why don't i see a post asking what's needed to make it work? Why isn't any1 asking for ideas about whats needed in the assassins tribe? Are you just planning to keep doing "whatever", in the hope some1 finds a use for things like Gafc, Gardia, Ex Rubia?

Because politics is totally one of those things that you're supposed to talk about at work, right?
Moto, quit talking a big game and go secede. Maybe you and Bighead could both make a go at striking out on your own and living outside this corrupt system. Just hang onto a computer or smartphone or something and let us know how it works out for you.
Anyone that I know would laugh at you and send you merrily on your way. Most private industry is not exactly impressed with Obama.
Sorry, I forgot, Moto. Your life experience is indicative of how the entire world works. My bad.
lol, Moto is acting like revealing that you support Obama to an employer is like trying to get a job at Fenway Park wearing a Yankees hat or something.

text: Segregation is happening right in our neighborhood at Richard Green Central Park School. This school is under scrutiny due to the segregation of African American and Latino students. Students are separated and placed into classrooms based upon their last names in order to determine if a student will be placed in a Spanish- or English-speaking class. Many parents, community members, educators, and students have voiced their concerns about the maltreatment of students, lack of concern for underrepresented populations and the segregation, which has created a hostile school environment. The Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson has been contacted numerous times about this matter, but she fails to respond and is not concerned with ensuring that the Minneapolis Public Schools are adhering to school laws.

I pretty much adore anything coconut, so when a lactose-intolerant friend introduced me to her version of hot cocoa, made with powdered coconut milk, I became obsessed.
Believe it or not, I'm usually lukewarm on hot chocolate, but I've fallen in love with this "cocoa-nut" recipe. The basic makeup comes from Alton Brown, just swapping powdered coconut milk for powdered milk and subtracting the cayenne, since I think it would clash with the coconut.
Even if you only fill your mug a quarter of the way with the mix and just add water instead of hot milk, this cocoa is creamy, rich, and irresistible. Serve up a couple of cups for a Valentine's night in, and even add a nip of liquor if that's your thing.
Here's how to make it.
From ed from Alton Brown
Hot Cocoa
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup cocoa (Dutch-process preferred)
2 1/2 cups powdered coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Hot water
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. In a small pot, heat 4 to 6 cups of water.
- Fill your mug half full with the mixture and pour in hot water. Stir to combine. Seal the rest in an airtight container, keeps indefinitely in the pantry. This also works great with warm milk.
Makes 5 1/2 cups dry mix.
