World Vision Online Donations:Earthquake Relief
An 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck Chile early Saturday, prompting tsunami warnings for the entire region and causing structural damage. World Vision is assessing the situation and preparing to mobilize staff members for an emergency response.Top 10 Strange Phenomena of the Mind | Listverse
The mind is a wonderful thing – there is so much about it which remains a mystery to this day. Science is able to describe strange phenomena, but can not account for their origins. While most of us are familiar with one or two on this list, many others are mostly unknown outside of the psychological realm. This is a list of the top ten strange mental phenomena.Take GM Corn off the Shelves! - The Petition Site | Care2
The shelves of our grocery stores are filled with genetically-modified (GM) vegetables, also known as Frankenfood. But what's scariest about Frankenfood is not simply that scientists are manipulating DNA, but that they are not testing it before the food is sold to the public to be consumed!Grammy Awards 2010 CBS Coverage | Sports Hype

Our Constitution declares that from time to time, the President shall give to Congress information about the state of our union. For 220 years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty. They've done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility. And they've done so in the midst of war and depression; at moments of great strife and great struggle.RSS Success Education Course
Planning Skills and Evaluations
FROM SUCCESS EDUCATION COURSE
Plan for Your Life
Your education will be ongoing. It will continue through your life. For the truly living, it's not going to ever stop.
In the words of Bob Dylan, "a man not busy being born is busy dying."
It might just be that we don't really die. We just stop regenerating and healing. With this commitment to your life locked in to your consciousness, you can begin to plan your life as if it might just go on forever.
Everything you learn, perceive and experience, every communications and contact with others is potential information that could be usefully integrated into your plan. But you must be very discerning not to include information that is irrelevant. So be alert, listen carefully and don't miss the diamonds in the rough.
With what you've learned in this course and the other continuing education programs to follow, you can confidently step into structuring and planning for financial independence to meet your goals and objectives. So now you are going to start doing a plan for your life.
Your Life is the Project
Your life is your most important project of all. Imagine and think deeply about what might be the action steps necessary to take this project, your life, from concept to action to completion. Now, this is quite a forward-thinking plan. You might have to look ahead seven generations into the future. But let's begin by creating a 3-month plan, a 1-year plan, and a 5-year plan. The rest will follow. Begin by formulating your purpose, if you have one. And if you don't have one, then it's time to consider what the purpose of your life just might be.
Taking Inventory
Consider your life a research project as well as your business development. If you do not have the information you need to begin or complete your individual or business plan, then you must do your own research. You can accomplish this through networking access to the key people, projects, programs and media in your local area? There is your local and regional area, national and global resources that might have to be found. You can learn how to use Internet search engines to be able to selectively find exactly what you're looking for. Remember, to have discernment in all areas of your research and be able to sort through the information and the disinformation.
As you begin to assemble the research and all the pieces of the puzzle, be sure to have a tracking system, some method of organizing and filing the information so you can retrieve it at will. Information is only as good as your ability to track it.
So first you're doing research and taking inventory. Second you've got to evaluate the information and screen for relevance. Third, you might have to create communications as well as writing a business plan, doing market research and a capitalization plan. Do not be overwhelmed. Take one step before the other, just like walking. Once you get good at it, you'll be able to run.
In summary, planning skills and evaluations include:
- A plan for your life
- Considering your life is a project
- Taking inventory of your resources.

Tomgram: Bill McKibben, Climate Change's O.J. Simpson Moment | TomDispatch
“In early 2009,” writes Bill McKibben in a soon-to-be-published new book, “just as Obama was getting set to unveil his energy plans, word came that 2,340 lobbyists had registered to work on climate change on Capitol Hill (that’s about six per congressman), 85 percent of them devoted to slowing down progress.” By early 2010, you can see the results of such efforts, multiplied many times over by the staggering levels of support available for anti-climate-change work from the richest industry on the planet: the energy business."A Bad Day for America": Anti-Nuclear Activist Harvey Wasserman Criticizes Obama Plan to Fund Nuclear Reactors
President Obama has pledged $8.3 billion in loan guarantees needed to build the first nuclear reactors in nearly three decades. The move, along with a tripling of nuclear loan guarantees in the President’s budget, represents a new federal commitment to the nuclear power sector. We speak to independent journalist and longtime anti-nuclear activist Harvey Wasserman, who helped found the grassroots movement against nuclear power in the United States in the 1970s.Putting the Brakes on Renewable Energy | Hawaii Public Radio

Welcome to Cascadian Resource Center !
Dear Friends & Members,
Along with many visionaries spanning four decades we have worked diligently for forty years to create a local, regional and global resource center platform to facilitate the conscious emergence of an enlightened planetary culture.- Communications
- Education
- Celebration
After many starts and stops over the years, finally the critical mass of web 2.0 technology, abundant resources and a stellar team are organized to accomplish such a grandiose vision. With several powerful web 2.0 platforms integrated artfully together, the capacity to communicate, network and inventory information about people, projects, programs, media, organizations and businesses exists like never before.
As we march steadfast into the pivotal years 2010 - 2012, recognizing that a vast network of people are already on a committed path towards higher consciousness and sustainability, the time is now to blend best-of-breed Internet technology with the resource people, organizations and businesses most capable of making a significant difference and bringing forth the greatest good for all humanity and the planet.
This giant leap forward is nothing less than a miraculous resynchronization of our own conscious evolution into the unknown future! Hoping for change is never enough. Become the change you want to see in the world and participate fully with all your heart, mind and soul!

Top 10 Amazing Cities You Will Never Visit | Listverse
For thousands of years cities have been the manifestation of humankind’s artistry, imagination, and instinct to succeed. They embody our strong social desires and longing to create grand masterpieces. London, Constantinople, Paris, New York, Ancient Rome, and Tokyo have been just a few of the dazzling trophies mankind has built. But there have been many cases in which someone’s vision for a better, more efficient, or more fantastic city collapsed into a heap of broken dreams. These are ten cities that were neverbuilt, ten cities you will never visit.Why We Gave Away Our Home | Parade.com
We finally chose The Hunger Project, a U.S.-based nonprofit that works with villagers in Africa, Asia, and South America and helps them move from poverty to self-reliance. Our funds specifically went to pay for building two epicenters -- each containing a meeting place, a bank for microloans, a food-storage facility, and a health clinic. Together, the hubs would serve more than 20 villages in eastern Ghana. To complete our year of change, we traveled to meet the villagers and were blown away by their industriousness and warmth.Between the Columns, University of Maryland » Journalism Building Opens, Geared to Digital Age
