Get Out and Give Back is the most unique organization with which you will ever do business – 100% of our post-expense proceeds go right back to the community, charity or other important causes. Through our "giving back by giving back" model we help businesses, employees and individuals get more involved in their communities in ways that are meaningful, important, and most of all, fun.
I know of no one better than Jane when it comes to connecting people to create good. Her unique talent to listen, help explore options and link me with people and organizations with shared needs and/or interests led to alliances with nonprofit leaders in northern Virginia. I highly recommend Jane for anyone who seeks to strengthen their nonprofit and community footprint. – Leigh Shields, Executive Coach
I am so impressed with Jane and her Get Out and Give Back initiative. Jane not only talks about the importance of doing good for others in the community but puts her words into action. Her caring, concern and willingness to act is helping make a difference in Alexandria."
– John Porter, Executive Director, ACT for Alexandria
Through Get Out and Give Back, I was introduced to the wonderful work of Friends of Guest House. I've been a mentor to some incredible women. Being a mentor has been very special, and I feel privileged to be part of the Guest House organization. I wouldn't have discovered this great organization without Jane Collins. I thank her and "Get Out and Give Back" for this wonderful opportunity that has enriched my life and hopefully I've given back a little to the women of Guest House.
Jane connects me to key players who push me to think creatively, strategically and smartly. This pushes me and propels my organization to summits beyond what I could do alone. –Brooke Curran, Founder, The RunningBrooke Fund
Jane assesses the character and value of non-profits by learning their capabilities, potential and limitations on site! She actually joins the staff prior to forming an opinion.. Jane's approach and delivery is professional, fair, objective and thorough. On more than one occasion Jane has helped us identify and connect with valuable nonprofits dedicated to mental health. Jane's opinion and recommendation on the work, structure, needs, difficulties of a non-profit are not only reliable, but ON TARGET. Her uncanny ability to discern over the many intricacies that makes an Organization effective is remarkable! Get Up and Give Back is our first stop when we want to learn about the effectiveness of a non-profit in the Washington DC and the Northern Virginia area.
–Magaly and Tom Hirst
Jane was able to connect my non-profit with a funder whose interest was in supporting our cause. This allowed us to significantly increase our ability to help persons gain access to mental health information and therapy. Thanks to Jane and the Get Out and Give Back organization for helping us support those in need in our community.
–Pat Lunt, Executive Director, Access Hope
Jane has the uncanny ability as a 'matchmaker' to connect business volunteers with just the right nonprofit and volunteer activity. She has done it more than once with Computer C.O.R.E., but most memorable is the group of 25 who spent a whole Saturday afternoon at CORE helping clients with resumes and practicing interview skills – and then decided to return and volunteer again! Jane, thank you.
–Lynn O'Connell, Computer C.O.R.E.
Jane provides practical knowledge with real intuition for developing meaningful volunteer relationships. She carefully considered how to connect me to an amazing member of her network, Lynn O'Connell, executive director of Computer CORE. I have since helped Lynn align a social media strategy with workforce development goals. I look forward to finding more ways to help this organization make a difference in people's lives through computer proficiency training programs!
–Claire Walden, Senior Associate at Collaborative Communications
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Alexandria Soccer Association raised $32,112 (plus $4500 in prizes) as part of Spring2ACTion. Your advice and connections made this possible. This money will allow us to continue to provide scholarships to youth who want to play soccer in Alexandria and will let us expand our other community programs. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your advice is invaluable. Thank you for the work you do.
–Leila Peterson, Alexandria Soccer Association Board Member and Co-chair of the Fundraising Committee

May 28, 2013 — Public lands belong to the public, and the effort by the Lassen County Board of Supervisors and others to guarantee public access to the roads and woods in the Lassen National Forest should continue.
The board's fight with the national forest over public access began in earnest more than four years ago — in January 2009 — when the board declared the proposed Travel Management Plan "unacceptable" because of what it characterized as many errors and inconsistencies, a lack of local input and a failure to respond to the concerns of local agencies and residents.
"There has been a serious lack of coordination with Lassen County," wrote former Lassen County District 3 Supervisor Lloyd Keefer back in 2009. "There has been an unwillingness to collaborate with the pubic to provide a more reasonable balance between motor vehicle access and environmental stewardship … We are extremely disappointed that the comments/suggestions we submitted for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement were either ignored or not adequately addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement."
The board invoked coordination status and created the Lassen County Coordination Council in an effort to give local residents a seat at the table and an opportunity to have input into the decisions.
Then the board wrote another similar letter in 2010, again expressing its dissatisfaction with the Forest's plan.
Tom McClintock, Lassen County's former representative in Congress, joined in the effort to get more local input into the plan, invoking memories of "the despotic era and Norman and Plantagenet England" when the English sovereigns declared large portions of England "royal forest, the excusive preserve of the monarch, his forestry officials and his favored aristocrats. The people of Britain were forbidden access to and enjoyment of these forests under harsh penalties."
A bit of hyperbole perhaps, but the people of Lassen County should at least have input into the discussion regarding the appropriate use of public lands in their region and a seat at the table when such decisions are being made.
Apparently nothing has changed in the last four years, and despite the efforts of elected county officials and interested citizens, the plan seems to be moving forward without the proper consideration being given to the people's concerns.
Should the Travel Management Plan go into effect as proposed, it would limit the people's ability to collect firewood, hunt, camp, unload horses or livestock and even travel on some roads with vehicles, off-highway vehicles or even snowmobiles.
As Bill Connelly, a member of the Butte County Board of Supervisors noted during his county's conflict with the Plumas National Forest over the same types of issues in 2010, "the voluminous public protests accounted for precisely nothing."
The situation was troubling and unacceptable in 2009. It was troubling and unacceptable in 2010, and it's troubling and unacceptable today in 2013.
The Lassen County Board of Supervisors, the Lassen County Coordination Council and other concerned citizens should continue to demand a seat at the table and an opportunity to be heard in the discussion of the public's use of the public's land until they are satisfied their concerns have been satisfactorily addressed.
They should not stop now.

In case you are new, each month I list my favorite discoveries from the last 30 days. Some months are more fruitful than others. September was a rush of getting back into classes, balancing home life and work and now I have a little less to show for it, but hopefully you still enjoy.
20×200. I didn't fall in love with art until my sophomore year of college, but I've always considered it ridiculously expensive. Now that I'm almost ready to be a grown up and decorate, I'm grateful to have discovered this site. As the name suggests, they have more than 200 pieces at $20 apiece and it goes up in price from there.
Pura Vida bracelets. GetMilkshake is selling these earthy, thread-and-metal bracelets and giving back to charity. I am a for-profit sucker. Go check them out.
Knoword. OK, I confess. I'm addicted to this game. It's the word nerd in me. Gives you the first letter and the dictionary definition. It's timed. I'm still totally sucking at it, but I got up to 37 words earlier without running down the clock.
Lauren's Letter to My 18-year-old Self. I wrote a similar post back in the summer and encouraged her to do the same. She got around to it after her crazy life (oh yeah, and marriage this month to Max – who also made the list). So much insight in one post.
Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint. Local hole in the wall with the best burgers I've had. They're melt-in-your-mouth good. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, seriously go to Jack Brown's.
It's A Wawa World. I love Wawa. We know this. Read this article by Philadelphia Magazine and begin to understand the cult surrounding the glorious convenience store that I have to live without nine months a year.
Max's Letter To My Future Son. Only a true blogger would get married, live tweet it, and then put up a post dedicated to his future son and all the things he wants him to remember. It's beautiful. I hope all fathers think this way.
Hannah's take on using real-life people in her writing. I found myself nodding endlessly as I read this, daring myself to go sit outside the local Walmart or Target and take notes. My poor friends and family are forever waiting nervously, praying I don't turn them into a blog post.
[View the previous discovery lists.]
What did you discover this month?

It's not like I don't have the skills to get there. I got to 1700 flat the day before the compression started and now I'm sitting at like 1674.
I got hooked on MW and last night I tried NM again only to find, wow, the higher you go up so does the sense of elitism. I've never seen 4 people argue with each other who is right instead of constructively arguing how to defeat the enemy team.
Not worth it, imo. Pub games can play RD, right? I miss RD and I'm so tired of NM now. MW is still just fun to death though.
Anyone else turned off by these huge egos?
I get that my play isn't perfect but keeping me down the whole game and ignoring the lane I'm clearly losing does nothing to help me or the team.
True. Now take that whining and add you losing in the middle of game to that and that's what it's like, oh!
I have a goal in my life and thats just to reach 1600. Im a 1595 and i always drop right before I reach it.
SquishyKitty is my waifu
I honest to God think the most enjoyable way to play this game is to be 1300 MMR.
Honestly, I purposely keep my accounts low because of this. I have spectated too many of my friends who are 1800 and 1900+ and that rage. All the the fighting. It never seems to go away and there is no way I ever want to deal with that. And no, my friends rarely do the raging. The whole environment just seems so corrosive, fighting over who is going to go mid almost every game. It's pure nonsense. And by low I mean playing to a certain mmr then stopping. I would rather play ihs and midwars.
I dont know why i am playing TMM still. I really hate it, i ****ing hate it.
Even you have to ignore your chat OR you have to be annoyed for the whole game - both destroys it for me.
Did buy a doombringer for my mates (yes i watched the coL), torturer picks it up by some reason (bought it for Panda), then tort loose it and blames me for being a noob and buying a doom. We had lost 100% anyways and that was our only chance to win lol.
My last many games have been without any form of passion and i really dont know why i join a game. I just cant get hooked on any of the other games there is out right now, and i get abstinence if i dont play anything Oo
but i should fall soon because this **** makes me plays like a 1200player, so cya soon downthere.
Because he is OP lol.
There will always be anger and rage in this game. You know why? Because of personal investment.
People talk about HoN and say "y u mad, its just a video game?"
But just because it's a video game does not lessen the extent that playing a single match has on a person.
HoN causes a person to invest 40-60min of their life within a single game.
Now, this 40-60min is backed by hours of research on forums, contemplation of strategy with teammates,
focused sessions of watching replays, streams, tutorials and guides just to get better.
Now that's outside the game. After that Hero selection screen is when the commitment begins,
putting your trust in 4 other people to not waste the outside resources you have collected.
At this point, a person who hasn't invested much into HoN will usually ragequit ("noob picked scout, gg" *Player Disconnected*) or start griefing.
More involved players might stick through it, believing they can attempt to dominate their lane,
get good farm, and eventually win the game through motivation and cooperation with their team and achieve victory.
All in the span of 40+ minutes.
Now tell me, after the exhaustment of all of this, that losing a game because someone doesn't listen, or a random afk/dc, or a griefer who throws would not get you upset.
In retrospect, you can compare playing HoN to writing an essay. You spend countless hours beforehand studying the material, then the test comes and you spend 40+ minutes drafting, revising, proofreading and perfecting every little bit only so that when you're about to hand it in, someone smacks the essay out of your hand and it falls into a paper shredder.
There is so much mental and emotional involvement in a game like HoN that anger is bound to be a byproduct.
that's why we made a no stat casual clan and that's all we play now
only problem is the total lack of skill in no stat games. people are terrible and they don't even talk either
then we get the occasional tryhard who gets smashed and then ragequits which is funny
I just play AP pubs and pick fun heroes. No, not one of the usual mid stompers the smurfkids always play. Been going like 50% ophelia in recent times. I'm not a hyperactive kid with 200apm so it's a real challenge to play her sometimes, and great fun too.

Guys it's HoN, a game just you and maybe two friends knows, being a God in here does not mean anything anywhere... just enjoy the game, even if youre a 1900 ure still a GamePlayer nobody knows...
I totally agree with op, I've made it to almost 1700 before, but I really just prefer to relax and have fun when I game. This means I've dropped to about 1600 and at the moment I'm enjoying it a lot more. The best thing I have picked up on on these forums is this:
Your Matchmaking rating is not a goal, it is just a way to get balanced games started so that everyone has more fun.
lower brackets are just as bad, except there people think they know/are good at the game yet they clearly have no clue, and on top of that they blame the team for their own bad decisions/deaths/etc
If you want to have fun in this game, I would suggest either breaking 1800 or dropping below 1300.
The 1600-1700 bracket is actually the worst, most players are semi-decent, starting to move up the MMR ladder, and therefore have rather large egos, but usually not enough skill or game sense to back that up.
If you think this is a large ego you should have been in one of the old inhouse leagues. Fragment or IHL. LOL they'd fight for 20 minutes on who gets to mid and carry.
This eternal accusation against Christianity I shall write upon all walls, wherever walls are to be found--I have letters that even the blind will be able to see. . . I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough,- I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race. . .
-Friedrich Nietzsche
i agree with you OP. soon as i realized all the elitisim and arguing i stopped trying to up my skill level. which is like you around 1700. now i just make a new account, lose till the +20/-20 MMR goes away and its good for at least 2-3 months. way more fun and i dont have to stress like a mother fuicker just to be accepted into a higher bracket.

My putting your thoughts on the words of the prime minister.
The prime minister feels.
As though he's on the same page with the rest of the world -- with the west at the United States.
But he hasn't you know other of an issue is on his mind -- an urgency.
That the Israelis feel that the rest of the world doesn't -- an arm's length distance from.
That it Iranian regime.
That hasn't nuclear agenda they running in regime has not been shy aimed at communicating that -- wants take Israel off the map.
And the prime minister of Israel came to the UN feeling as though this is might be his last chance in convincing the world.
That to the Iran -- regime is the biggest global threat that we have currently.
And that's why is this speech -- -- almost -- a history lesson.
Theme to it.
And talking about what extremist islamists believe in that they would blow themselves up and they do believe -- and after her life that's more important than their current life.
And that's and that's why would he came to do kind of in.
Put impart this urgency on the rest of the world as well.
Is it fair to say that what we may have here though we don't really have any way of knowing what happens behind the scenes.
But that what we may be seeing here is is a difference in opinion on how to handle this matter that not a difference on the severity -- And that's a great way and to put it.
Almost we want to save -- the US and Israel on the same page and they've taken different courses of action to stop.
The Islamic regime from having nuclear weapons if the -- -- -- -- they have different opinions on what the course of action should be.
I think both I think we've the abuse Elizabeth we think of the US thank you for the sanctions.
For example but they're not working.
You know they are -- is crippling the error on in the economy what has it stopped them from getting a nuclear weapons which we both agree on that's being.
Ultimate goal here no it hasn't stopped them you know the US citizens want to bring them to think negotiating table has that happened -- -- -- hasn't happened either so the Israelis are almost feeling as though.
Via both the mentality and a course of actions -- the US has taken in the west in general has been a bit and I eat.
Of course factoring into all of this is the fact that so many of the analysts those with -- great experience and knowledge of the situation here.
-- of the belief that you can't stop this by bombing and and the like it's gonna take something else.
Right and that's you -- if you want to take a look at that exact point -- you look at the people of Iran who and what they're saying.
-- mean it right before Ahmadinejad.
Got on the plane to come to the UN meetings the people -- there on I bet on so many blogs and and so many messages on on Twitter and on FaceBook.
Where are you going we have so many problems here at home that you need to address you don't need to be going to be UN and talking about world problems and how to reform.
That you know the global community has had as he's been repeating on on interviews and -- at the podium.
At the UN.
I mean there's there's so much that we can focus in on here talking about the economy back common -- and what he's doing both in the region and and globally as well.

It works ok so far. Made in China.

Chapel Hill, NC
Do not buy. Poorly made. Contacts inside break and jump from one copper ring to the other creating a short circuit. I've had it for a few years and used intermittently. Last week I smelled an electrical odor when I was using this reel and cord. I looked up and saw smoke. I was able to hit the breaker and shut the power of and disassembled it and found where the contacts had shorted across the copper rings. Contacted Sears and got no where. I am contacting the Consumer Protection Agency to see if this model can't be recalled.;

I've had this cord reel in my garage for 5 years and just love it. It reaches just about anywhere in the garage for vacuuming out a vehicle to running a saw in the back, you name it. Retracts pretty easily and I have it hanging on the ceiling close to an outlet for easy power.

I would give this 0 stars if possible. Maybe mine is defective. The cord real works ok. The plug ins are terrible.Some of my tools won't work when plugged in. The other problem is the plug ins are very loose. Whatever you have plugged in will fall out if your not careful. I am going to see if they will take it back.

I have had two of these reels, both of which functioned well until the relay on the reel fried and the unit would no longer carry juice. The first time might have been my fault as I was using a high amperage tool. The second time there was no excuse.

This is a great must have for any work place...I plug any tool I'm using into it...when I'm finished I give it a pull and it rolls itself up... The main plug that connects to the wall, is a little short...other than that, its wonderful

Nov 13, 2012Wow this game is actually good. took about 7 hours to complete. fun, addictive like the console version. as of now this is the Vita game to own(beside liberation and uncharted) If you love long hours online than get this game. Single player? Like all COD games you'll put that to rest after one try. grab this game now, now!!!
Nov 14, 2012
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012Its really simple, this game has had effectively no exposure prior to launch which is really shocking for what could have been a system seller. After playing it for like 10 hours, have to say, its a 10/10 for a handheld. Fun singleplayer, relatively bug free and smooth multiplayer and a very authentic FPS/COD experience on the go. Get it!
Nov 13, 2012Without a shred of doubt the closest anyone has ever come to getting a full fledged FPS onto a portable console. Certainly not perfect but really commendable. Good job nihilistic, you're forgiven for Resistance: Burning Skies
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012Just like everyone else so far, I am completely surprised at how well this game actually came out after playing the mediocre Resistance: Burning Skies by Nihilistic earlier this year. Definitely the best FPS to come to handheld hands down.
Nov 13, 2012I was really surprised by how good this game is, They did a awesome job on single player and multiplayer. I think the developer should be pleased and this will definately sell Vitas.
Nov 13, 2012Way better than I expected, graphics, multiplayer, low on maps and only 4x4 but it plays great and really feels like COD. Singleplayer is too short, but I never played it anyway in console, I will be playing this game for months since I travel a lot. It's a bit expensive but well worth it, well done Niihilistic, incredible but true.
Nov 13, 2012every one who give this game a high score is really play it not like all the battlefield fan boys who give it a low score and they even not try the game but want to harm the score and they must now that the most favorite shooter game is cod
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012i think this is a must buy game for any vita owners do not miss all the fun in this game the multiplayer is a blast wow i love you call of duty black ops declassified
Nov 13, 2012I love this game! A big improvement from Resistance Burning Skies! The Online is basically Black Ops on the consoles. The hostiles mode is good and so are the Operation Missions. Great game!
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012I had seen some trailers and pictures but it had ugly grafics, low frame... Finally it seams to be solved because the game is pretty good, grafics, smooth... online it's amazing and even you might forget you'r playing on a handheld console, i have to say that i got a trigger grip and it makes feel like a dualshock controller
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012The Game Is Awesome...I Didnt Expect That!!The Graphics Are very good and The multiplayer Awesome too No Lags.....and very quick to join a match no need to wait at all........!!
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 13, 2012
Nov 14, 2012IM surprised at this game campaign was actually fun and its actually good to relax and play some 4v4 multiplayer i would say its better than the console version but not enough to be vita killer app
Nov 14, 2012Better than expected. Realistically this game deserves to be in the 8s. The online play is a lot of fun, I haven't had an issue with connectivity. Wish there was zombies.
Nov 14, 2012Great game. Wasn't expecting much when I heard Nihilistic were developing but they proved everyone wrong. Multi player is very similar to console. Lots of people here giving bad review because of bad presumptions me thinks.
Nov 14, 2012
Nov 14, 2012Do n NOT pay attention to these wanna be hippster review sites low balling this game for hits...if you want a portable CoD that has fun multiplayer, Declassified is your game, period.
Nov 15, 2012Great story, great cards, many of the best oruzhie.Odna chastey.Vse just velikolepno.Rezhim otpad.Dolzhen buy every zombie!It is a shooter game goda.Eto bright
Nov 15, 2012
Nov 15, 2012This is by far the best FPS, multi-player experience on a handheld ever. It's pretty awesome to be able to kick off a party, start a game and be chatting and playing COD from just about anywhere. 2 big thumbs up!
Nov 13, 2012
Jan 28, 2013Declassified feels like a disappointing DLC bundle rather than a full release. In its best moments it proves that Call of Duty could work on the console, and it has some good ideas – earning XP across single-player for multiplayer unlocks is particularly neat – but it's exceptionally hard to justify how this ended up with a $70 price tag. The very best PS Vita games have proven that, in the portable market, size can still matter. This lesson has, ironically, been ignored by gaming's biggest franchise. [January 2013, p76]
Jan 23, 2013This'll remind you of the very worst PSone FPS games. [Issue#227, p.77]
Jan 14, 2013This game should have stayed classified or, at the very least, been redacted.

Labor Support: What You Need to Know
What is labor support? Why is support in labor important to consider? Would I still benefit from having a labor support companion if I think I will want an epidural or other pain medication? Who might provide me with supportive care during labor and birth? What is labor support?Throughout the ages, in nearly all societies for which we have records, women have been helped and comforted in labor by other women. These women stayed throughout labor providing physical comfort, emotional reassurance, and information. Today, labor support professionals called doulas (DOO-lah; Greek for "woman who serves") are trained to provide the comfort and care women need during labor. Why is support in labor important to consider?Every woman hopes for her birth experience to be as positive as possible. But women may feel that asking for support and kind treatment in labor shows they are less concerned about safety than a mother should be. In fact, planning for excellent support in labor is an effective way to make birth safer and healthier for you and your baby.Research shows that the availability of support in labor can affect your chances of having a cesarean, vacuum extraction, or forceps delivery; the likelihood that you will need pain medications; and your baby's condition at birth. Labor support can help you avoid or reduce risks associated with these interventions. Research also shows that having good support can affect how you feel about your birth, and that memories of childbirth experiences often stay with women throughout their lives. (For more details about labor support's remarkable benefits - and lack of any known risks - follow through this section to the Best Evidence: Labor Support page.) Would I still benefit from having a labor support companion if I think I will want an epidural or other pain medication?Women who plan to use pain medications could also appreciate having a labor support companion for many reasons:
Who might provide me with supportive care during labor and birth?Research says that having support from a doula or other labor support companion who is present solely to provide continuous support has the most benefits. Others who may be important sources of support are your partner, your clinical caregivers, and friends or family members.The Options: Labor Support page reviews the pros and cons of each type of labor support companion.

Peel Hunt has upgraded its rating for international publishing and events group Euromoney Institutional Investor from hold to buy and maintained its target price at 800p.
Revenue guidance was given at the pre-close update, meaning that top-line figures were broadly in line. However, profitability exceeded expectations.
"Though results were in line and guidance on trading not significantly changed, we are upgrading by 6% this year at the EPS [earnings per share] line as the company enjoys a one-off credit at the CAP cost line and a 4% improvement on proposed tax rate," said analyst Malcolm Morgan.
Notably, the tax rate guidance reduced from 27% to 23%.
With the shares having drifted back towards to the 700p level recently, the broker moves back to a buy.
Just before midday on Tuesday, shares were trading 1.75% higher at 727.5p.

When the weather gets chilly, one of the easiest ways to create a warm dinner is to use a slow cooker. Often used to make soups and stews, try using the crockpot for other dishes as well. Crockpot meals are a great way to make less expensive cuts of meat a family favorite. Use this guide to figure out which slow cooker to purchase and get started with three easy crockpot meals that will delight the whole family.
Choosing a Crockpot
When you're deciding which kind of crockpot you need, first thing to do is analyze how much food you prepare for a typical family meal. Are you a family of three or six? Do your kids chow down at the dinner table or are most of them light eaters? Keep in mind that crock pots work the best when they are at least half full. If you have a smaller family or light eaters, you may want to shoot for a medium-sized crock pot, like a 3.5 quart. If you have a larger family or want to make leftovers out of your crockpot meals, use a 6.5 quart crock pot. Crock pots also come in different shapes. Round shapes may be better for soup-junkies while oblong shapes work well for those who will be cooking large cuts of meat, like roasts.
Crockpot Meals and Recipes
#1 Whole Chicken:
You can easily cook this lean meat in your slow cooker and whip up some healthy crockpot meals. All you need is a fryer chicken, 5-6 foil balls, and lawry's seasoned salt to make a magnificent Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken. Simply rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels, sprinkle generously with seasoned salt. Chicken should be brown with seasoning. Place the chicken in the crockpot on top of several foil balls or foil covered potatoes. All the natural juices from the chicken season the potatoes magnificently. There are also plenty of other chicken crockpot meals that you can try, like Lime and Cilantro Chicken.
#2 Stew/Soup:
The crockpot is the perfect vessel to prepare a flavorful stew or soup.

About the Author: Simon Newcomb (1835–1909) was a leading figure in American higher education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. An American astronomer, educator, and author, Newcomb taught in Maryland for three years and worked for a short time for the American Nautical Survey before entering Harvard University. In 1861, Newcomb became a professor of mathematics at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., a position he held for thirty-six years. His achievements in the field of astronomy included successful negotiation for the construction of a twenty-six-inch equatorial telescope. In addition to more than twenty-five books on mathematics, astronomy, general science, and economics, Newcomb wrote one science fiction novel, His Wisdom, The Defender (1900).

"Johnson Wins in 15 Rounds; Jeffries Weak"
Newspaper article
By: John L. Sullivan
Date: July 5, 1910
Source: Sullivan, John L. "Johnson Wins in 15 Rounds; Jeffries Weak." The New York Times, July 5, 1910, 1–2.
About the Author: John L. Sullivan (1858–1918) was a boxer born in Boston Massachussets. Nicknamed the "Boston Strong Boy," and "the Great John L.," he was the last bare-knuckles heavyweight champion. In 1892, after 21 rounds, Sullivan, soft and wasted from drinking and an undisciplined life that left no time for training, was defeated by James J. Corbett. Wisely, Sullivan never staged a comeback but sustained his popularity on the vaudeville stage and, after reforming in 1905, as a temperance lecturer. Sullivan was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.
When Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries met for the heavyweight championship on July 4, 1910, the stage was set for one of the most significant boxing matches in the history of the sport. The boxing match reportedly received more coverage in British newspapers than did the Boer War (1899–1902), fought between Great Britain and the Boers in South Africa. The fight had more reporters covering it than any previous sports contest. Johnson, an African American born in Texas, defeated all...

"Burman Lowers Speedway Records"
Newspaper article
By: The New York Times
Date: May 30, 1911
Source: "Burman Lowers Speedway Records." The New York Times, May 30, 1911.
About the Author: A New York Times sportswriter wrote this unsigned article. The coverage of the first Indianapolis 500 automobile race was in the general sports section, and it did not make the front page. It was quite common for newspapers to have unsigned articles covering lesser events in the nation and the world.
The Indianapolis 500 is one of the most famous automobile races in the United States and the world. Though the Daytona 500—featuring NASCAR stock cars, a fixture since 1959—has been more popular lately in the United States, the Indy 500 (as it is known) has the longest tradition in American motor sports history. The race is held every year on Memorial Day weekend at the track known as the "Brickyard," just northwest of downtown Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Motor Speed-way was built in 1909 as a two-and-a-half-mile rectangular track, with a surface of crushed rock and tar. In the same year, the speedway hosted its first race, a disastrous five-mile dash that saw the deaths of six people, including two spectators. Later that year, the owners of the...

About the Author: Dr. Dudley A. Sargent (1849–1924) was a prominent figure in early physical education, and he served as the Director of the Hemenway Gymnasium at Harvard University from 1879 to 1919. He was one of the pioneers of research into physical fitness, a science now called kinesiology. He studied the human body, seeking the most perfect proportions for both men and women, by collecting the measurements of almost all of his students. As a contributor to Ladies' Home Journal, his academic credentials helped influence number of people to accepts his arguments.
As one of the leading figures in physical education in the United States, Dudley Sargent earned a great respect for his opinions on the role of athletics in culture.

About the Publication: An ordained minister, Lyman Abbott (1835–1922) was the editor of the weekly magazine the Outlook, which started in 1876 as the Christian Union. In the Outlook, Abbott promoted the views of the moderate Protestant progressivism movement and solicited the help of President Theodore Roosevelt (served 1901–1909) to serve as an associate editor. It was one of the most influential magazines of its day.
Jim Thorpe (1888–1953), a Native American from Sauk and Fox descent, was arguably the finest athlete in American history. As a young man, he gained national fame and notoriety playing football for the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In 1912, Thorpe won two gold medals at the Stockholm Olympics of 1912 in the pentathlon and decathlon. But Thorpe had to forfeit those medals after revealing that he played semi-professional baseball in 1909 and 1910 and received payment for his services. He went on to a career in professional baseball and football, but...

"Baseball and the National Life"
By: Henry Addington Bruce
Date: May 17, 1913
Source: Bruce, H. Addington. "Baseball and the National Life." Outlook, May 17, 1913, 104–107.
About the Author: Henry Addington Bruce (1874–1959) was a Canadian-born author and newspaper journalist who graduated from the University of Toronto and attended Harvard University. He specialized in psychical research and wrote extensively on this subject with works such as Adventurings in the Psychical (1914), Riddle of Personality (1908) and Psychology and Parenthood (1915).
One of the most interesting debates that takes place in today's sports environment is whether baseball is America's national pastime. Many critics point to the growing popularity of NASCAR stock-car racing and the overwhelming interest in professional football as proof that baseball no longer can claim its place as the national pastime. While it is clear that baseball does not stand alone among professional sports today, no sport has been able, or will be able, to completely dominate the sporting world as baseball did in the late-nineteenth century and early-twentieth century. This notion of baseball as the national pastime was solidified in the 1900s and 1910s through a series...

"Ouimet World's Golf Champion"
Newspaper article
By: The New York Times
Date: September 21, 1913
Source: "Ouimet World's Golf Champion." The New York Times, September 21, 1913.
The history of golf in the United States has changed with every generation in the twentieth century. The game came to America primarily from the Scottish and British, who dominated the professional championships in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In America, high membership fees at country clubs placed golf out of the reach of most Americans. Consequently, the sport was played exclusively by the wealthy. With many public golf courses, smaller golf clubs, and increased leisure time, golf now is accessible to millions of Americans. Even with the game out of reach for most children in the early twentieth century, many kids dreamed of a career in golf—or just a chance to play on a regular basis.
In 1913 Francis Ouimet was a clerk in a sporting-goods store. He had caddied since he was eleven at Brookline (Massachusetts) Country Club in a suburb of Boston. He played Brookline from time to time, and he won the Massachusetts State Amateur Championship. He was offered a spot in the U.S. Open, played at Brookline that year, and Ouimet decided to ask for the day off....

Page from George Weiss's Scrapbook
By: George Weiss Date: 1916 Source: George Weiss Papers. National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Cooperstown, N.Y. About the Author: George Weiss (1895–1972) was a baseball executive for both the New York Yankees and New York Mets. During his tenure with the Yankees (1932–1960) as farm team director and general manager, the Yankees were one of the most successful franchises in the game. His career earned him a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, where he was inducted in 1971.
At the age of nineteen, George Weiss became a national figure in baseball without a nasty curve ball or a home-run swing. He gained notoriety through the exploits of the semi-pro team he managed, the New Haven Colonials. When Weiss graduated high school in 1914, he sought to continue to manage his teammates at New Haven's Hillhouse High School. With a two-dollar investment in letterhead, the New Haven Colonials were born; they soon stole the spotlight from that city's Eastern League team in organized baseball. Weiss became a national figure when he obtained a lease at a ballpark outside the city limits. Weiss's ballpark was not regulated by blue laws that prevented teams in New Haven and other cities from hosting baseball games on Sunday. Beginning in 1915, Weiss scheduled games with major league...

You Know Me Al: A Busher's Letters
Fictional work
By: Ring Lardner
Date: 1916
Source: Lardner, Ring. You Know Me Al: A Busher's Letters. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1916; 1925, 9–18.
About the Author: Ring Lardner (1885–1933), a journalist and author, was one of the greatest sportswriters of all time. He wrote for many newspapers including The Chicago Tribune, The Sporting News, and The Saturday Evening Post. The National Baseball Hall of Fame selected Lardner in 1963 as the second recipient of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for "for meritorious contributions to baseball writing." The first person to receive the award was J.G. Taylor Spink himself.
Ring Lardner gained notoriety in the twentieth century as both one of the world's best sports writers and one of its finest satirists. Lardner combined these two attributes in a memorable series of columns in The Saturday Evening Post. They started in 1914 and portrayed the life of a fictitious young ballplayer, Jack Keefe. Lardner portrayed Keefe as an ignorant young man who, by virtue of his ability to play baseball, rose in stature and fame far beyond his intellectual capacities. These letters became the basis of the 1916 book, You Know Me Al, as well as a series of other...

Girls and Athletics
By: Mary C. Morgan
Date: 1917
Source: Morgan, Mary C., ed. Girls and Athletics. New York: American Sports Publishing, 1917, 7–10.
About the Author: Mary C. Morgan was a graduate of the Bryn Mawr College in 1915, and she was associated with the Lansdowne Country Club of Philadelphia. She edited Girls and Athletics, a book that was part of the Spalding's Athletic Library, one of the most prominent publishing endeavors in the early history of sport. Its titles encouraged participation in sport and supported Spalding's own sporting goods company.
The role of women in society changed a great deal in the early part of the twentieth century. Women made strides to increase their participation in society and gain rights held only by men. As with the suffrage movement (culminating in 1920 when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote), women worked hard to break societal barriers. One area where women moved into new territory was sport. In preparing Girls and Athletics, Mary Morgan sent a questionnaire to three hundred schools and colleges surveying the role of women

About the Author: Elwood S. Brown was an athletic director for the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. He had gained notoriety previously as the physical director of the American YMCA in Manila, Philippines for many years. In that position, he introduced basketball and volleyball to the people of the Philippines and created athletic competitions between United States soldiers and local residents. His role in introducing volleyball to the Philippines was one of the key factors in the internationalization of the sport.
In late 1918, World War I (1914–1918) was coming to an end. After years of stalemate and trench warfare in northeast France, German lines were broken and they were in retreat. The fighting ceased on November 11, 1918, when an armistice was reached on the western front between German and Allied troops. The United States had many soldiers fighting in the war...

Basket Ball: for Coach, Player and Spectator
Reference work
By: E.D. Angell
Date: 1918
Source: Angell, E.D. Basket Ball: for Coach, Player and Spectator. Chicago: Thomas E. Wilson, 1918, 7–12.
About the Author: E.D. Angell was a lieutenant in the United States Navy Medical Corps and an expert sports coach. In the introduction to Basket Ball: for Coach, Player and Spectator, Chris Steinmetz, captain of the 1905 University of Wisconsin baseball team, wrote that Angell never had a losing baseball team and "instilled in the men the determinator to fight to the very end and never to quit." He is also the author of the sporting book "Play" on various sports. Angell coached both basketball and baseball at the University of Wisconsin.
In the late nineteenth century, two sports were invented in the YMCAs of Massachusetts to solve pressing issues with recreational programs. Baseball was the most popular sport played in the country, but it was suited to neither cold weather nor small, urban facilities. The games invented to solve these problems were volleyball, coming from the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and basketball, coming from the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts. Invented in 1892 by James Naismith, basketball could claim its place as America's...

"Boxers Spend Last Night Under Guard"
Newspaper article
By: George R. Pulford
Date: July 4, 1919
Source: Pulford, George, "Boxers Spend Last Night Under Guard." Toledo Blade, July 4, 1919, 14.
About the Publication: The Toledo Blade was first published on December 19, 1835, and it is the city's oldest continuous business—predating Toledo's incorporation as a city in 1837. The Blade covers fourteen counties in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. The Blade is owned by Block Communication, and it is headquartered in Toledo.
The city of Toledo, Ohio, fifty miles south of Detroit, was prosperous in large part because of two major industries: glass and automobiles. The city also was on the train line between New York City and Chicago, making it an easy travel destination. In 1919, a fight for boxing's world heavyweight championship came to Toledo. These events transformed a community into a global stage. Fans and newspapermen came from all over the country and the world to watch and report on the events. Like today, local boosters supported these events strongly. First, the event brought money into the local economy. Second, boosters used these events to showcase the city and increase its name recognition. Third, by hosting an event like...

Pioneer in Pro Football

Date: 1963
Source: Cusack, Jack. Pioneer in Pro Football. Fort Worth, Tx.: Self-published, 1963, 11–12, 13–15, 16–17.
About the Author: Jack Cusack (1890–1973) was one of the prominent early figures in professional football in Ohio. At the age of twenty-one, Cusack became the manager of the Canton Bulldogs, one of the leading teams of the day. During his six years with the Canton Bulldogs, Cusack led the team to two championships (in 1916 and 1917), and was responsible for bringing Jim Thorpe into professional football. In 1918, Cusack left football to enter the oil and gasoline business in Oklahoma. He later worked as an independent oil operator in Fort Worth, Texas.
The location of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, is logical given the strong role that Canton and Ohio had in the early days of professional football. The first professional football league in the state was the Ohio League, which was formed in 1903 and lasted until the end of the 1919 season. The stronger Ohio teams then joined the new American Professional Football Association, the league that eventually became today's National Football League (NFL). The leading teams of the day included the Canton Bulldogs,...

About the Author: Edd Roush (1893–1988) was a Hall of Fame centerfielder who played major league baseball for eighteen years, primarily for the Cincinnati Reds (1916–1926, 1931) and New York Giants (1916, 1927–1929). He also played for the Chicago White Sox and for Indianapolis and Newark of the Federal League. He compiled a .323 batting average during his career and won the National League batting title twice for the Reds (.341 in 1917 and .321 in 1919). Roush was one of the biggest stars of the 1919 Reds World Series–winning team. He ended his career with 268 stolen bases and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.
In the early 1960s, baseball historian Lawrence Ritter conducted a series of oral-history interviews with some of the greats of the game of baseball. Seeking a more human side to the early days of the game, Ritter sought out ballplayers from the first part of the twentieth century who were a shade below the biggest stars of the day. One of the...

With offices all over the globe, we are where you are. Contact an IFC office.
Our donors and partners make our advisory services possible
IFC believes that sound, inclusive, and sustainable financial markets are essential to building shared prosperity and ending extreme poverty. Our work with financial intermediaries in more than 120 countries has helped strengthen financial institutions and overall financial systems, enabling them to play a constructive role in economic growth.
Working with financial intermediaries allows IFC to support far more micro, small, and medium enterprises than we would be able to on our own. In FY12, our financial-intermediary clients helped us provide loans to 25 million individuals and 1.5 million small and medium sized enterprises.
Access to finance is a key barrier to the growth of SMEs and the establishment of microenterprises. The Access to Finance gap in emerging markets is large- 2.5 billion adults do not have access to savings or credit, and 200 million MSMEs do not have access to credit.
Working through financial intermediaries, enables us to encourage them to become more involved in sectors which are strategic priorities such as women owned businesses, climate change and agriculture and in underserved regions such as fragile and conflict affected states as well as in housing, manufacturing, infrastructure and social services. Our work with these clients has supported an estimated 100 million jobs. See IFC and Job creation website.
Through its Advisory Services, IFC has also scaled up the sustainable provision of financial services in developing countries by addressing systemic issues such as credit information and credit bureaus, improvements in risk management, corporate governance and the introduction of environmental and social standards.
IFC's approach to environmental and social risk management (E&S) helps build the capacity of our financial-institution clients to assess and mitigate their own E&S risks, in a manner commensurate with the level of exposure to such risks. Our 2012 update to the IFC Sustainability has strengthened our risk management and transparency with regard to our financial-institution clients.

We focus on small and medium enterprises, microfinance, trade, and climate change, among others. IFC is a leading investor in microfinance.

Typical Socialist. She has run her country´s economy into a ditch and now wants to start a war to change the subject. Shame she could not get a visit from Hurricane Sandy. Sure saved our socialist Presidents bacon.
Arming every islander to the teeth may cool Cristina´s Argie conscript invader force´s enthusiasm for a takeover.
#3 - So does the Obamboozler, but over here they´re called Czars...
# 4 Thanks for the laugh.If the UK had kept all of their islands, the world might be better off.
With what navy? They haven´t any aircraft carriers or surface ships to speak of. You appear weak to your enemies and this is the result.
I believe the Argies could have negotiated ownership of the Falklands but chose a military attack instead. Prime Minister Thatcher was not about to back away from that challenge.
By popping up with this now the Argentine Presidente obviously is showing that she does not want the Falkland Islanders to vote their self-determination in March. Between now and that vote, the UK should be sure that they have the defense forces in the Falkland Islands to deter another Argentine military invasion. A nuclear submarine or two, and a couple of battle hardened infantry units just back from Afghanistan with field artillery support should do the trick.
those worthless che guevara a*ho* can go to antarctica for all i care. if that broad wants to start a war, i am confident in the royal navy.s ability to scrounge up a missile carrying sub or two with conventional warheads to make buenos aires sing a different tune. i am not worried!
She probably already has Obama´s support. Any opportunity to smear the UK! Since the people of the Falklands want UK sponsorship... and they are not transplants but natives... they should be allowed to vote in March. Why escalate this now? I smell Obama.
