Just this week, the world population reached 7 billion, adding a billion new lives to the earth in barely 12 years.By the end of this century, the UN predicts that there could be more than 10 billion people.
As Barbara Crossette, author of The UN Population Fund Report, shows, most of the births will be in the poorest countries, where resources are slim. At least 215 million women who want family planning are denied the means and the right to it. Indeed, international aid for family planning has been decreasing for a decade. Why?

WASHINGTON — NATO said Wednesday it would step up air and naval patrols in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, a move it hopes will reassure jittery allies in Central Europe.
The alliance said it will increase flights over the Baltic states — Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania — and allied ships will deploy to the Baltic Sea, the eastern Mediterranean and elsewhere.
"We will have more planes in the air, more ships on the water and more readiness on the land," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in a statement.
The announcement was short on details and follows an earlier decision to increase air patrols and ship movements in the region.
"More will follow, if needed, in the weeks and months to come," he said.
It's not clear whether the measures will go far enough in reassuring Central European countries who are worried about Russian aggression.
In an interview Tuesday, Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, said countries in the region would like ground troops positioned to deter Russian aggression.
"What we have done today is to agree on a package of measures that can be implemented immediately," Rasmussen said. "But there will be follow-on work."

An embarrassing dropped catch interrupted the Washington Nationals' spring training practice session in Viera, Fla. on Thursday. A large bird, flying low over center field, dropped a fish from its talons onto the playing surface. The incident apparently did not sit well with new Nats center fielder Denard Span, who describes himself as "scared of fish" and "scared of birds." DC Sports Bog has more:
The bird then began to circle the field, perhaps considering going back for his lost dinner. Span said he started screaming and making noises to discourage the bird from returning for his food.
"That's another reason why I was kind of squealing a little bit," he explained to The Post's Brad Horn. "I kept thinking, that's his dinner. That's his food. As I was looking down at the fish, I didn't want him to think that I was trying to take his dinner and have the bird come from behind me or come from the sky and try to attack me. I kept my head on a swivel and made sure the bird didn't catch me slipping."
Luckily for Span and any other ichthyophobes in the Nats' ranks, outfielder and seasoned fisherman Ian Desmond was brave enough to pick up the fish and throw it over the fence, which likely would have counted as an error and allowed the bird to take an extra base if it were a game situation and fish counted as balls and birds could play baseball.
Desmond identified the fish as a crappie and noted that he has "grabbed plenty of fish before."

Check Out Line: More Chocolate, Less Wrinkles
Download PDF [0 KB]
New studies-albeit from chocolate maker Barry Callebaut- show that eating less than an ounce of a specially-made chocolate each day may help make your skin look younger.
The antioxidant-rich chocolate may help prevent wrinkles, boost elasticity and improve hydration, the company found. It said that it found a way of preserving the flavanols found in cocoa beans during the chocolate-making process.
"Chocolate and health do not seem to fit together but it is a very interesting proposition: if I can eat something I like and it is good for me, that is great," Barry Callebaut Chief Innovation Officer Hans Vriens told Reuters in an interview. "Chocolate is probably at the bottom of the list when you think about making food healthier."

Skip to comments.Why Ashley Judd's Breakup Is Bad News for Mitch McConnell
Posted on 01/30/2013 7:37:02 AM PST by ConservativeStatement
Actress Ashley Judd and Indy Car driver Dario Franchitti are ending their marriage after 11 years, and, yes, the news impacts Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Judd is weighing whether to jump into politics and challenge McConnell in Kentucky in 2014. She was in Washington for the inauguration and attended an event at EMILY's List, the group that backs pro-choice Democratic women running for governor or Congress. Judd even carpooled with Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, who demonstrated she knows how to win in a red state after defeating the self-injurious Todd Akin.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationaljournal.com ...
The voters of Kentucky should remove McConnell one way or the other.
I doubt that Mitch McConnell will prove to be as bad a candidate as Todd Akin was . . .
She's a deluded, stupid slut who thinks she matters. Just think back to the Oscar show when she walked across the stage, wwearing no panties and gown slit completely up to her crotch. No class! I saw her mother on a clip from Piers Morgan and just about vomitted. What a pack of phony drama queens are the judd b*tches!
Apparently Judd has some unsavor friends!
YES!!!! I will never again have to hear her idiotic musings during an Indy 500 broadcast!
Guess I'll have to start referring to Dario as "The Former Mr. Judd" now...
I hit the mute button during a recent soliloquy (last year?).
Flaky loudmouth. If McConnell got serious there is no telling what he could learn about Ms Judd.
The story says that she probably WON'T run and implies that is bad news for McConnell because a "conservative" Democrat will now be his opponent.
Kentucky ain't Massachusetts, and Mrs Franchitti would have zero chance of winning.
Can we pay the SAT or ACT folks to put together a aptitude/certification test for candidates?
Hell, even if they had to appear on Jeopardy or Are you smarter than a 5th grader, we could eliminate a fair number of dems and rinos.
1. US Constitution
2. Economics 101
3. US State Capitols
4. First aid
5. Military history
6. Common Sense
Any other suggestions?
Have to wonder when she'll move to Kentucky to establish residence. She is living in Nashville and has been for quite some time. I think her mother and sister also live there. Saw comments last night on a Univ. of Kentucky basketball chat board wherein one fellow commented his cousin had been doing extensive construction/re-modeling work at her N'ville home. I cannot assume this is in preparation for a move to Kentucky but it might be. Judd is quite liberal.
New #1:
Evidence of a functioning brain.
Are you kidding? Look who's in the Whitehouse for a 2nd term.
Kentucky went for Romney with something like 64% of the vote.
And what are her qualifications for this job?
n February 2006, Judd entered a program at Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap, Texas and stayed for 47 days. She was there because of personal issues, including depression, insomnia and codependency.
And remember this? Taken from a prior Freerepublic post:
Look at the map: Not only does Obama not know how many states there are, he also doesnt know where they are. During the 2008 primary campaign, he explained why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky: Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So its not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle. Obamas home state of Illinois, and not Arkansas, shares a border with Kentucky.
Ha! Great idea!
...for those interested. :D
...for those interested. :D
...for those interested. :D
...for those interested. :D
I think ashley Judd is one of the cutest female actresses around.
But I wouldn't have voted for Marilyn Monroe either.
She has some popularity, but most of the members of the "good ol' boys" club are NOT interested in anyone other than another one of the "good ol' boys" as a replacement for the ineffective McConnell.
My comment is based on knowing and having several friends who reside in Kentucky.
Change is to was. You haven't seen a recent photo. Perpetual anger and hate tends to affect appearance.
The last image I've seen of her is in the movie "Ya Ya Sisterhood".
Did she age? Bummer. ;-)
Al Franken?
barak obammy?
John Boenher?
I can go on her forever.
Are you REALLY saying you prefer a Democrat to McConnell?
We tried that in Indiana and wound up with a 97% Baraqqi (Donnelly) in place of an 80% Republican (Lugar) for the next 6 years. It's a bad tradeoff.
I was one of the early posters on FR and it was back before all this group think where we can't think for ourselves. Maybe we had group think but we were all trying to defeat Democrats. Something went wrong. I do not enjoy FR nearly as much as years ago.
"You don't even stop to think about what you're saying, you're so eager to get the approval of others.
Are you REALLY saying you prefer a Democrat to McConnell?"
I don't comment on here to get approval. In fact I'm frequently derided.
I would PREFER that McConnell be defeated in a primary, or see the writing on the wall and retire. But since no republican will ever run against or challenge the leadership, then the leadership must be removed, by either a democrat or a republican.
Both McConnell and Cornyn need to go next year so the republicans in the senate will have new leadership. The go along, get along, gentlemen's handshake, my good buddy Senator Reid crap needs to go. And that will only happen with McConnell's removal. He's served long enough and not at all well, the "r" next to his name notwithstanding.
So you do prefer a Democrat to McConnell—this is insanity,
So you do prefer a Democrat to McConnell—this is insanity,
Did you even read what I wrote?
McConnell is a piss poor leader. He is constantly helping the democrats and undermining conservatives at every turn. He looks like a turtle and his way of speaking has no energy whatsoever, just a droning quality brought about by reading speeches that he didn't write to an empty senate chamber.
If McConnell could be re-elected but would be a back-bencher like he used to be I would be happy to see him re-elected. But as republican leader he is terrible. Ideally I want him defeated in a primary so the republican can go on to defeat the democrat. But either way, he must be defeated so a stronger, younger, more-able, more-energetic leadership can rise up. He won't step aside and nobody will try to remove him, and even if they did, his senate buddies would rally around him. Therefore it's up to the people of Kentucky to choose somebody else to represent them in the senate.
You probably don't want someone like Scott Brown and are glad we have that wicked fruitcake woman, Elizabeth Warren. If we wait to get 100% of what we want, we're going to be electing Democrats forever. You, and others like you, had better start looking at the big picture and stop with this preference of Democrats to a Republican you do not like. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Boy you only see what you want to see, don't you. I don't have a preference for democrats. I want the democratic handmaidens removed from office.
"We never give up captured territory—we hang on until we can improve our team."
How exactly to we improve our team by keeping the same worthless people and the same worthless leaders?? I guess we just wait for senate seats to open up and go after those, is that it? That's how we end up with "republican" senators like Jeffords and Specter and Murkowski. Of course when seats do open up, the NRSC and the RNC support such candidates as Charlie Crist, now a democrat and Lincoln Chafee, now a democrat.
Mitch McConnell is 70 years old and has been in the senate since 1986. Don't you think it's time for him to step aside?? If a politician screws you over, do you keep voting for him or her just because there's an "r" next to their name on the ballot? Isn't that convenient...for them. No matter what they do, they will never have to face comeuppance for their votes because they have enough sheeple to keep any challenger from tossing them from office.
And just to flip your wig even further, no I don't want someone like Scott Brown. I voted for him in 2010 when he ran as a conservative then once he was elected he voted continually with the democrats. I left his office blank on my ballot in November and will again should he be the nominee for the special election here. I will support whoever runs against him in the primary. Brown will be another Jim Jeffords who will all of a sudden become "uncomfortable" with the republican party.
And just so you know, I am looking at the big picture, which is to elect as many conservatives as possible, not as many republicans as possible. That means keeping up the pressure on the wobbly ones in office to vote conservative or be challenged. I hope McConnell's support goes down down down so he'll be forced to retire. Kentucky just elected Rand Paul two years ago. McConnell's not the only person in the state that can beat a democrat.
I agree with your comments very much.
Do you understand the necessity of a Republican majority? Do you realize how this sausage is made?
There's only ONE strategy that pays off in the long run and that is Wm F. Buckley's strategy of always voting for the most conservative THAT CAN WIN!! Winning is everything, without it, we have nothing.
If you like Democrat majorities, keep doing what you're doing because you're electing Democrats.
These Freepers are committing political suicide. If I were George Soros, I would help fund Free Republic because there are many on here who are Democrats' best friends. It's time to wake up and stop helping Democrats.
The only concern I have about Ashley Judd is that she is a prominent fixture at UK basketball games, and as popular as UK basketball is in that state, that worries me.

Sam is a great teacher and leader of his team. He is dedicated to his students in seeing them reach their full potential in fencing and encourages them to work hard and compete locally and further afield to gain more experience. He has a love for the sport and has been foundational in establishing the Hunter Fencing Association Incorporated, being involved at the PCYC at Broadmeadow, the Newcastle University and now in heading up the new team at Charlestown. He has done so much to promote the sport and to lift its reputation in the community. Fencing is a brilliant, strategic, physically demanding sport which is also a lot of fun. Don't be foiled! Come see for yourself. You'll get my point. En guarde!
Sam has a way of leading that works for everyone. As an experienced fencer, I enjoy his classes while working hard and developing my skills. And, so does everyone else from the 12 year olds to the prents and grandparents. Sam is organised and his commitment to fencers is inspiring. This new venture will be a success, and I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn fencing or develop their personal skills.

Kickin' Country!
"I couldn't wait to get this bootie out of the box when it arrived today. The mixed reviews had me concerned about whether to order my size or not. So I was a little worried (for nothing as it turned out). I'm glad I ordered my regular size. They definitely do not run short. My regular size is just right.

In your journey towards increased bad-assery, you may have come across two materials that proved successful in most instances: spikes, and denim. While the two are usually only seen on the back of Rancid fan jackets in unison, a new era of chic has emerged, and it's given these classic punk elements a new stage to dance on. Christian Louboutin has introduced the denim spike heel and denim spike loafer. You'll be able to don a perfectly crisp, professional outfit for work and a quick change of footwear will transform you from skyscraper office to Lower East Side divebar in seconds.
We'll wrap up with this question: If you could wear denim heels with spike studs embedded in them, why would you wear anything else? Okay, maybe they're almost a thousand bucks… but who says you can't D.I.Y.? We smell a project on the horizon!
For those who have the means, the heels are available at Net-A-Porter. Let us know how they feel.

"Why don't more people ski together?" a friend asked after four of us spent an enjoyable day skiing runs with varying degrees of difficulty, making turns with varying degrees of skill. The willingness to stick together from getting off the lift to getting back on it, despite differences in experience, speed, or style, is what she calls Social Skiing.
When we first moved here, we made friends with other newcomers and loners, couples and singles at Red Lodge Mountain. We keep track of each other on runs, stop to talk about how well (or badly) we skied a stretch, and take turns leading and following. Some of us seek out the loose snow on the edges and in the trees. Others of us wait while they dig their way out of a crash site--head first in bushes, skis stuck under hidden logs, pine branches poking out of their helmets like camouflage.
We learn from skiing with others--how they make turns, which side of a run is most skiable, where the rocks and drop-offs are. I have followed new friends into places I was afraid to ski, copying them turn for turn in the bumps on Thompson's and the ruts to Little Forest. Three of us got lost together in Ringer's Run, picked our way through the trees, and laughed over how relieved we were to find ourselves in Drainage. Without friends who knew the way, we would never have skied Big Bear Gulch. We still can't find it by ourselves.
One of our new ski friends, Bill Wetzel, died on January 29. A kind man who spoke thoughtfully and listened carefully, he skied well with others. His wife, Deb Fergus, is an inclusive person, and when facing a challenging run we like to quote her saying, "We'll ski this as a team." We were looking forward to doing that again with them this season. Instead, we'll ski some runs in memory of Deb's Bill.
Life is short. Let's stick together and ski hard!

@TeresahRN, you capture the essence of what a nurse is all about. Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
When the Lord made Nurses...
He was in his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said " You're doing alot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, " Have you read the specs on this order? "
" A Nurse has to be able to help an injured person, breathe life into a dying person, give comfort to a family that has lost their only child, and not wrinkle their uniform.
They have to be able to lift 3 times their own weight, work 12 to 16 hours straight without missing a detail, and console a grieving mother as they are doing CPR on a baby they know will never breathe again...
They have to be in top mental condition at all times, running on too-little sleep, black coffee and half-eaten meals. And they have to have six pairs of hands. "
The Angel shook her head slowly and said,
" six pairs of hands..no way"
"It's not the hands that are causing me the problems," said the Lord, " It's the two pairs of eyes a Nurse has to have." "That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The Lord nodded. " One pair that does quick glances while making note of any physical changes, and another pair of eyes that can look reassuringly at a bleeding patient and say,"You'll be all right, Ma'am." when they know it isn't so."
"Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow."
" I can't," said the Lord, " I already have a model that can talk to a 250 pound grieving family member whose child has been hit by a drunk driver...who, by the way, is in the next room uninjured..and also be able to feed a family of five on a Nurse's paycheck."
The angel circled the model of the Nurse very slowly.
"Can it think?" she asked. "You bet," said the Lord," It can tell you the symptoms of 100 illnesses; recite drug calculations in its' sleep; intubate,defibrillate,medicate, and continue CPR nonstop until help arrives...and still keep its' sense of humor.
This Nurse also has phenomenal personal control.They can deal with a multi-victim trauma, coax a frightened elderly person to unlock thier door, comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily paper how nurses are insensitive and uncaring and are only doing a job."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the nurse. " There's a leak." she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."
"What is the tear for?" asked the angel.
"It's for bottled-up emotions, for patients they've tried in vain to save, for commitment to that hope that they will make a difference in a person's chance to survive, for life"
"You're a genius" said the angel.
The Lord looked somber...." I didn't put it there" He said.

best dress flats for work!
"I ordered these shoes for work, and I work in an optometrist office so i need to be dressed up and as i am on and off my feet all day i also need something that is comfortable and these were perfect! There wasnt even any "break in" period. Comfortable from the start! I have difficulties finding good dress flats as my feet tend to be slightly wide, but i ordered a regular size 7 and they fit perfect! My only complaint is color. I was hoping for a more chocolate brown, but these are more of a taupe. But that is actually minor as it still goes with all my outfits and is of course verry comfortable!"

Dominic Morea is senior vice president of advanced solutions and innovation at First Data Corporation.
Dominic Morea of First Data shares how the future of the retail industry is going beyond the transaction.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and James Russell
PwC: Dom, can you please tell us about the group and function you lead at First Data?
DM: Sure, I'd be happy to do that. I lead what we call the advanced solutions and innovation team here at First Data. The ASI team acts as the incubator of innovation and next-generation ideas for the company. We are driving a handful of initiatives that our strategy has deemed to be transformational or disruptive or both.
We're responsible for the company's mobile commerce or universal commerce strategy. We are also very focused on personalized marketing and the next generation of loyalty as it relates to merchants and financial information, identifying—as best we can—where payments, commerce, and shopping are headed.
PwC: What is universal commerce and what is its genesis?
DM: We began to focus on mobile payments about four and a half years ago. We cycled through several phases of learning and experimentation and saw the evolution of a contactless form factor, such as a fob or NFC [Near Field Communication] embedded in the phone. We realized that change in a payment transaction itself is not a seismic change. There was no real consumer value proposition there, and the credit or debit cards work very well today from a payment perspective.
What became clear is that the impact of many emerging technologies such as mobility, mobile wallet, the Internet of Things, and others is much broader, beyond the payment transaction. In retail, the new value propositions are at the intersection of personalized marketing, mobile marketing, loyalty, and improved user experience. These capabilities and their fusion with seamless payments really are where the opportunity is headed, in our view.
The effort took our thinking toward a strategic vision we label universal commerce, which very simply is commerce that happens anytime, anywhere, and on any type of device. More specifically, it is an evolving concept that suggests movement toward a future where retail activities are seamlessly integrated into a single end-to-end experience— shopping, payment, marketing, loyalty, money management, and offline and online experiences. The impact of this integration is only just beginning to be felt by merchants, consumers, and financial institutions.
PwC: How does the vision manifest itself in your products and services?
DM: We've reoriented the way we pursue product development and innovation. With a focus on seamlessness and end-to-end process, we account up front for the need to mash up a number of capabilities as opposed to a point solution or point product. That fuels the ability to create seamless integrations across account types, experiences, loyalty, and data access.
Our core competencies are in infrastructure, networks, connecting endpoints, and connecting players in a multisided ecosystem, so that is what we focus on. We will enable the diversity of use cases expressed as apps or devices, or websites or in-store kiosks or other scenarios. In the multisided ecosystem, we really bring together a marketplace of publishers and merchants where offers can be linked to an account and seamlessly redeemed.
We are opening up our capabilities to allow merchants and publishers to take advantage of our infrastructure to deploy end-to-end seamless experiences. Cloud-based technology simplifies integration while allowing us to provide many value-added services. For instance, the open application programming interface [developed by CardSpring] has allowed hundreds of developers and offer publishers to use the OfferWise solution to create innovative new types of e-commerce, loyalty, daily deal, and mobile experiences to help retailers create new value-added relationships with their customers.
PwC: What new capabilities will you add to your infrastructure in the future?
DM: The future is really about going beyond the transaction by understanding and facilitating the end-to-end experience. We want to tie together what the consumer is doing before, during, and after a transaction. Today, the "during" piece is where the online payment networks come into play. We are creating the ability to see the consumer on a longitudinal basis and add value to a merchant at a basket level. For example, one of the capabilities on our road map is to go to the line item detail in a transaction, so merchants can build a more insightful engagement with their customers.
PwC: What are some examples of new experiences in universal commerce?
DM: One emerging example is Red Tomato Pizza in Dubai, which has changed the ordering experience by making it as easy as pushing a single button. Red Tomato Pizza provides its customers with a refrigerator magnet that has a button on it. When a customer presses the button, a preprogrammed pizza order is submitted via a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone or tablet [which relays the order over the Internet]. Upon receipt of the order, Red Tomato Pizza transmits a confirmation text message to the customer with options to cancel or change the order. There is seamless interaction between the physical action of pressing a button and the virtual action of placing an order.
In another example, global home furnishings retailer IKEA has released a catalog app that extends the print catalog experience. Customers can hold their smartphones and tablets over mobile-enabled catalog pages and gain access to rich content, such as videos, images, and 3D product models. You can imagine that in the future, customers could see how a product is assembled, the ease or complexity of it, and take that into account in their decision making.
In both these cases the value proposition to the customer goes well beyond the transaction.
PwC: It seems that the consumer experience is fragmented across devices, online or offline channels, and so on. How much of a concern and problem is this?
DM: Fragmentation of the experience is a significant challenge, and we need to address that. If the multichannel experience is not fluid, I think it's not useful. And by the way, this fragmentation is not just in the shopping experience. It is across the full lifestyle. We are seeing progress today where sessions and data captured on one device can be seamlessly accessed on a different device to continue the experience. So if I'm shopping at home on a connected device—say a wired device—and I didn't finish what I started, but now I'm at work or I'm out and about with a tablet, I can continue from where I was and then maybe even take that into the store.
The ability to do something online and then be able to carry that experience to the physical store is really important. Take couponing, for example. As you know, consumers love coupons, daily deals, and other discount offers, and merchants rely on them to attract new customers and return visits from existing customers. However, redemption of these offers is usually paper based—a cumbersome and inconvenient process for both the consumers and merchants.
Our OfferWise solution simplifies offer redemption and makes it seamless, by letting consumers link their discounts to a payment card or mobile wallet and redeem them automatically at a participating merchant's point of sale. Merchants can take advantage of this solution with no changes to their points of sale, operations, or infrastructure— and more than 500,000 merchants can accept these card-linked redemptions.
This capability is valuable, because it removes the clunky nature of paper. It delivers real value to consumers, who now don't need to clip coupons or print out paper that proves they bought a deal, registered for a loyalty program, or have a certain number of reward points.
PwC: What is the greatest challenge in what you are doing and what is the greatest benefit?
DM: For a long time, there has not been a cost-effective way to deliver insight back to the point of sale. Most point of sale systems use old technology, and it's fairly costly to change that. In addition to the point of sale devices, what has held us back is the fact that the outermost edge is a very narrow and highly specialized network service. It does authorization and settlement—a two-part message or a one-part message. Sure, it does that for a number of account types, but only these few things.
The opportunity with universal commerce is much broader and deeper. We now have this data in the cloud, and the work going forward is how to deliver the acknowledgments that help our merchants and their consumers get a much richer level of engagement, relationship, membership, and insight into the end-to-end experience. We're just at the early stages of that. We think it's critically important in the mobile channel and the future.

Former Rep. Lindy Boggs, the first woman elected to Congress from Louisiana and an ardent civil rights campaigner, has died at age 97.
Boggs, who went to Congress after a special election to succeed her late husband, Thomas Hale Boggs, Sr., who had died in a plane crash in Alaska, served in the House for nearly two decades.
She died of natural causes at her home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, according to her daughter, NPR senior news analyst and ABC News journalist Cokie Roberts.
Roberts called her mother "a trailblazer for women and the disadvantaged."
When Boggs announced her retirement in 1990, she was the only white representing a black-majority district in Congress, The Associated Press says.
"I am proud to have played a small role in opening doors for blacks and women," she said at the time.
The AP writes:
"Breaking with most Southern whites, Lindy Boggs saw civil rights as an inseparable part of the political reform movement of the 1940s and '50s.
'You couldn't want to reverse the injustices of the political system and not include the blacks and the poor. It was just obvious,' she said in 1990.
She worked for the Civil Rights Acts of 1965 and 1968, Head Start and other programs to help minorities, the poor and women."
In 1997, Boggs was tapped by President Clinton to serve as ambassador to the Vatican, a role she filled for three years.

"Ran True to size I am a 9.5.Wore them all night long without an issue. I ran into DSW store looking for emergency pair of wedges for an event since it would be on grass heels where out of the question. I decided on these although not really 100% in love because they where only one in store I liked enough to deal with for one night. After getting home I am glad I purchased because with the Neutral base and Multi Color heel it gives endless possibilities of use."

Now that the dust has settled across Europe, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hail the star players of Six Nations, Round One.
Now that the dust has settled across Europe, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Six Nations, Round One.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
Team of Round 1
15 Stuart Hogg (Scotland) – The top performer wearing blue at Twickenham. Hogg cut loose early on with a fantastic break that saw him travel 50 metres, which led to Sean Maitland going over for a try on debut. Hogg also got a score late and becomes latest name with 'Lions bolter' attached.
14 Simon Zebo (Ireland) – Both Chris Ashton and Alex Cuthbert performed admirably while Italy's Giovambattista Venditti was solid. But with a metre-making Englishman selected on our other touchline, we had to make room for this Irish youngster who continues to mature. He took his try well and was a decent outlet in Cardiff.
13 Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland) – That Zebo try was down to this returning veteran's fine offload after drawing two Welsh tacklers. BOD, in what is set to be his last Six Nations, rolled back the years on Saturday in a superb performance that has already whet the appetite ahead of next weekend's game against England.
12 Billy Twelvetrees (England) – Note to self: Never doubt Stuart Lancaster. Have England found the missing midfield gem they were looking for? It seems so after Saturday's debut showing from Twelvetrees. Duck to water and all that, he was outstanding in all facets.
11 Mike Brown (England) – The Harlequin was the top metre maker (133) in the opening round of Six Nations 2013 and continues to prove that he deserves his place in the Test XV, even out of position. One kicking error led to a Scotland score but other than that, superb.
10 Luciano Orquera (Italy) – A watching Diego Dominguez must have been delighted to see the Azzurri seemingly discover a long-term fly-half option to move forward with. Orquera was sublime on Sunday and led Italy's backline with a calmness and clear head that they have long been lacking. We feel that mentions should also go to his scrum-half Tobias Botes, centres Tommaso Benvenuti and Alberto Sgarbi and of course the man wearing 8.
9 Ben Youngs (England) – There were a few grumbles when Lancaster opted for Youngs over the in-form Danny Care but once again the coach's decision proved a successful one. Youngs took the right calls all day and played a heads-up style when England were going forward. Life may be a good deal tougher in Dublin as the Irish pack is a much sterner test.
8 Sergio Parisse (Italy) – Italy's talisman was not alone in excellent Azzurri performances, but led from the front as always. His try opened matters and his workrate was exceptional.
7 Sean O'Brien (Ireland) – The Leinster flank is making his mark on the Lions pecking order – any man who makes an astonishing 23 tackles in a game deserves to wear the red jersey.
6 Alessandro Zanni (Italy) – One of Italy's most productive runners, Zanni was everywhere against the French – carrying productively and regularly evading defenders on Sunday.
5 Joe Launchbury (England) – The young Wasp carried on from where he left off against Scotland after an outstanding November. A dynamic runner and effective line-out option.
4 Andrew Coombs (Wales) – Wales were atrocious in the first half, but Coombs epitomised their second-half comeback. His work ethic was summed up by an impressive 17 carries.
3 Martin Castrogiovanni (Italy) – A crucial try for Leicester's finest swung the momentum back the way of Italy with the clock ticking away in the second half. Nine carries and no missed tackles reflect his performance statistically, but the emotion on his face said more.
2 Rory Best (Ireland) – Whilst his line-out work was not always accurate, the Ulster hooker seems set for the British & Irish Lions starting jersey on the back of another strong Test performance. Plenty of carries and a crucial charge-down proved his class once again.
1 Cian Healy (Ireland) – 15 tackles and a smartly taken try from close range land Healy a spot in the side, continuing his impressive Leinster form on the international stage. Dan Cole awaits next week in Dublin in what should be a titanic battle at the Aviva Stadium.

Feb. 28, 2014: The Clarke University Mackin-Mailander series will present Mark Zupan, the star of the film "Murderball," on Tuesday, March 25, at 7 p.m. in the Robert and Ruth Kehl Center.Tickets are $5 for general admission; free for the Clarke community. They are available by calling (563)584-8642.In 1993, Zupan was paralyzed in a car accident at the age of 18. After a night of drinking, he hopped into the back of a friend's pickup truck. The friend, who had also been drinking, was involved in an accident and Zupan was thrown from the back of the truck, over a fence and into a canal. He hung on to a branch for 14 hours before he was rescued. Zupan suffered a broken neck and was unable to walk again.
He began playing "quad rugby" at Georgia Tech University. In 2004 he led Team USA to a bronze medal at the Paralympics in Athens, Greece, and was named U.S. Quad Rugby Association Athlete of the Year. In 2008 in Beijing he helped the U.S. Paralympics team take home the gold. Zupan attempts to destroy stereotypes, sharing his story and struggles in his book "Gimp."
"It's the best thing that ever happened to me," Zupan said of his accident in an interview with ESPN. "I wouldn't trade this for anything. There wouldn't be a film. I wouldn't have met people. I wouldn't have been to the places I've been and seen things. I wouldn't have a medal from the Paralympics. I might not be with my girlfriend. There's a reason this thing happened."
Murderball is the critically acclaimed winner of a 2005 Sundance Film Festival award. The plot of the movie centers on a rivalry between two of the strongest teams of 2004 Paralympic Games and their quest to overcome all the hurdles. The film gives a message of hope, determination, courage and faith.
For more information, contact the Clarke University Marketing and Communication Office at (563)588-6318.Clarke University is a Catholic, liberal arts and sciences university dedicated to preparing students who positively impact their workplace, family and community. Academic offerings include more than 40 undergraduate liberal arts and pre-professional programs, a robust adult degree program and six graduate degree programs.

- Jerry D'Amigo leads both the Marlies and the league in scoring this post-season with 5 goals in 3 games.
Reinhart and Nemisz playing together on a line and from what it sounds like playing very well together.
Reinhart sounds like he could be a very good pro, maybe spending one more year in the A, but I think he will be an NHLer at one point. And if Nemisz plays his cards right can right the wave and back to the NHL.

Really big night for Reinhart. Two points, five shots, +2. Best stats line of any Heat player.
Mike Zigomanis? Dude's gotta be like 40 now. Pretty sure he retired in my Be a Pro in like, NHL10.
There have got to be rules about this kind of thing. It's like they can just stick any Wade Redden on the ice and it's cool. Too expensive for the NHL, but good enough to lead their teams to victory.
No problem though, Heat will just beat them anyway.
Good for the Heat. Often, a good AHL team bodes well for the future of a franchise. Unfortunately, not the case for the Flames as they have stacked the Heat with top AHL players they have acquired instead of promising young future NHLers (with a few possible exceptions like Reinhart). More smoke and mirrors from Ken King and company.
@Kenta: Dude why is the glass half empty man? Why cant people give Feaster credit for making the Heat a priority & fast track some success so he can get some of our legit junior prospects some valuable playoff experience at a pro level & have some success. If Daryl were here yet, the Heat would suck & be out of the playoffs just like the Flames are. This smoke & mirrors are giving us a look at a young coach who we are considering taking over for the Flames. We are getting to see Reinhart show us that this kid may have more upside than we think & potential future top 6 player.
I just dont get it. Why is it so hard for people to embrace the little bit of success we can pull out of the darkness, and lets see what Feaster does this off season. We can bash his decisions all through the 2012/13 season. That should be fun, right?
