Almost Like Being There | Ted Rall's Rallblog. Tens Of Thousands Of Progressives Rally At The Lincoln Memorial For Jobs, Justice And Education | CommonDreams.org. Tens of thousands of civil rights, labor, and other progressive activists gathered on the National Mall today for the One Nation Working Together rally, meant to bring attention to the fight for jobs, justice and education and energize the left one month before the midterm elections. "October 2nd is about November 2nd," SEIU President Mary Kay Henry recently told MSNBC host Ed Schultz, who heavily promoted the event on his show and gave opening remarks today. "And it's about what we do after November 2nd to hold elected officials and corporate America accountable to getting us back to work. " More than 400 organizations representing tens of thousands of individuals sponsored the rally, bringing together groups like the Sierra Club, United Mine Workers of America, and the NAACP.
Backers were touting it as the most diverse march in history. The National Mall looked like a patchwork quilt, with thousands of union workers grouped in clusters wearing t-shirts in their respective colors. iGoogle. Republican New School Flexes Clout Ahead of November. July 31: House Minority Whip Rep. Eric Cantor presents U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio during Rubio's campaign event in Fort Lauderdale.Reuters Democrats aren't the only incumbents in trouble this November. With a crop of feisty, fresh-faced conservatives making noise in the House and a wave of Tea Party-backed newcomers determined to join them, senior Republicans could have a mutiny on their hands. The gap between the old and new schools of the GOP has become apparent as Election Day nears and polls show Republicans increasingly likely to pick up seats -- lots of seats.
Election guru Larry Sabato, at the University of Virginia, released new projections showing a possible 47-seat GOP pickup in the House. The opportunity for a shakeup is ripe, but so is the opportunity for a makeover of the Republican Party itself. "The Republican caucuses in the Senate and the House will change," Democratic strategist Kiki McLean said. A GOP leadership aide said Boehner is not worried.

Fibi Netanyahu - by Liel Leibovitz > Tablet Magazine - A New Read on Jewish Life. Meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu last week, President Obama could not have been more effusive. “I believe Prime Minister Netanyahu wants peace,” Obama said. “I believe he is ready to take risks for peace.” A newly revealed tape of Netanyahu in 2001, being interviewed while he thinks the cameras are off, shows him in a radically different light. In it, Netanyahu dismisses American foreign policy as easy to maneuver, boasts of having derailed the Oslo accords with political trickery, and suggests that the only way to deal with the Palestinians is to “beat them up, not once but repeatedly, beat them up so it hurts so badly, until it’s unbearable” (all translations are mine).
According to Haaretz‘s Gideon Levy, the video should be “Banned for viewing by children so as not to corrupt them, and distributed around the country and the world so that everyone will know who leads the government of Israel.” “I know what America is,” Netanyahu replied.

Editor’s note: Guest author Steve Cheney is an entrepreneur and formerly an engineer & programmer specializing in web and mobile technologies.
On the heels of the latest Android phone, the Sprint HTC EVO, and as we approach iPhone 4, it seems like mobile devices and platforms are innovating at about five times the pace of personal computers. Rapid advancement in mobile is often attributed to the natural disruption by which emerging industries innovate quickly, while established markets like PCs follow a slower, more sustained trajectory. But there are deeper fundamentals driving the breathtaking pace of smartphone advancement. Component vendors supplying to smartphone OEMs have evolved a much different DNA than those supplying to PC makers.

5 Ways to Know if You're Making a Difference :: Excerpt from the. Posted Jun 21, 2010 David Korten’s newly revised and greatly expanded 2nd edition of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth, outlines an agenda to create a new kind of economy: locally-based, community oriented, and devoted to creating a better life for all. In this special pre-publication excerpt Korten explains how to tell if your actions are helping to build the new economy that “must be lived into being from the bottom up.”
For the many millions of us working to create a better world, it is easy to feel discouraged by the seeming insignificance of even major successes relative to the scale of the problems we face as a nation and a species. Consumed by the details and challenges of our daily engagements, we may easily lose sight of the big picture of the powerful social dynamic to which our work is contributing. Step back from time to time; take a breath, look out beyond the immediate horizon to bring that big picture back into perspective. Interested? Imago. In biology, the imago is the last stage an insect attains during its metamorphosis, its process of growth and development; it also is called the imaginal stage, the stage in which the insect attains maturity.
It follows the final ecdysis of the immature instars.[1] The imago is the only stage during which the insect is sexually mature and, if it is a winged species, has functional wings. The imago often is referred to as the adult stage.[1] Members of the order Ephemeroptera (mayflies) do not have a pupal stage, but they briefly pass through an extra winged stage called the subimago.
The Latin plural of imago is imagines, and this is the term generally used by entomologists – however, imagoes is also acceptable.[3] Etymology[edit] Imago is Latin for "image".

Posted by MelissaUlbricht on Jun 17, 2010 A recently launched campaign at a popular youth radio program in Nepal focuses on the voices of youth - or at least, text messages of youth. Regardless, the SMS campaign seems to be making strides. UNICEF in Nepal has teamed up with the popular Nepali radio program Saathi Sanga Man Ka Kura, which means "chatting with my best friend. " The program, also called SSMK, is run by the non-governmental organization Equal Access Nepal. SSMK has been on the air for 10 years and reaches millions of youth listeners (primarily ages 13 to 26) throughout Nepal. Rupa Joshi, a communications specialist with UNICEF, explains the origins of the campaign. "When UNICEF Nepal launched its website in November 2009, we developed a special meta-site just for young people called the "Voices of Youth" designed and managed by the SSMK team.
Altogether, the station has received over 33,000 messages since the launch, which comes from approximately 4,000 listeners. Web3.0. Top 10 Sites about Web 3.0. 'Augmented Reality' on Smartphones Brings Teaching Down to Earth. By Sophia Li At the University of New Mexico, some students in second-year Spanish classes become detectives. They travel to Los Griegos, an Albuquerque neighborhood 15 minutes northwest of the campus, on a mission: Clear the names of four families accused of conspiring to murder a local resident. It's a fictional murder mystery, and instead of guns and badges, the students are armed with iPod Touches, provided by the university.
When students enter their location into the wireless handheld devices, a clue might turn up: a bloody machete, for example, or a virtual character who may converse with them—in Spanish—about a suspect. But Los Griegos and the language skills needed to navigate the locale are no fiction. By integrating mobile computing and actual surroundings, the educational game, Mentira—Spanish for "lie" and a reference to the claim of conspiracy the students are assigned to debunk—helps take teaching to a new place outside the classroom: "augmented reality.
