BARACK OBAMA
Obama's Clinton-era picks tend to fit the Bill
Hillary Clinton, former staffers up for top jobs
By Christi Parsons and Peter Nicholas

WASHINGTON — The roster shaping up for the Barack Obama administration is starting to look a little familiar, with an ironic pattern emerging as one name after another is added to the list.
A striking number of new and potential team members can trace their professional history to the same political birthplace—the administration of President Bill Clinton.
There's Sen.

FRANKFORT, IN — Paul Brant considers himself a penny pincher, but his savings in quarters and gold dollar coins really paid off.
Brant, 70, used more than $25,000 in change to help buy a new Dodge Ram half-ton pickup truck Friday — 13 years after buying another truck with spare change.
Who would have thought??

Yesterday I came across why so people fear this thing I love called CHANGE! When talking to a friend, he mentioned how much he hated the fact of moving and how much he was dreading the fact that he's on his own. In my mind, I was totally like, "ok...

WASHINGTON — The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.
Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change.
Recent war games and intelligence studies conclude that over the next 20 to 30 years, vulnerable regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia, will face the prospect of food shortages, water crises and catastrophic flooding driven by climate change that could demand an American humanitarian relief or military response.

Climate change to force 75 million Pacific Islanders from their homes
More than 75 million people living on Pacific islands will have to relocate by 2050 because of the effects of climate change, Oxfam has warned.
By Bonnie Malkin in Sydney

A report by the charity said Pacific Islanders were already feeling the effects of global warming, including food and water shortages, rising cases of malaria and more frequent flooding and storms. Some had already been forced from their homes and the number of displaced people was rising, it warned.

So, the new "better" version of user generated content and groups is here. There are a lot of changes, some good, some bad, some kinks they're working on over the weekend.
There's one big change I've noticed that will definitely affect this group, and that is that haus and I can no longer edit your posts. Some of you may know that I will regularly fix html, edit a vague subject line, or provide an article source if it's inadvertently left out, but I can no longer do that, so please be extra careful with your posts.
The other thing I notice right off the bat is that you now have the option to compose your post in rich text or in html. If you want to use html to embed a video, an image, or use html to bold or italicize text, you need to click "Switch to raw html" underneath the box where you type your post. So, that is to say, if you were bolding text <b>like this</b>, you need to use the "Switch to raw html" option. Same goes if you are copying and pasting the code to embed a youtube video or something like that.

Topaz and citrine are the birthstones of the month of November. No wonder they make me think fall. Let's also take a look at another warm stone: smoky quartz. What exactly is the difference between these semi precious stones? It can get tricky, but here goes...
Yellow or golden quartz is called citrine. Brownish yellow quartz may be called champagne citrine and bright pumpkin orange to dark orangish red in color usually go by the name madeira citrine. But the skinny is this, citrine is quartz which is warm toned (ie: yellow, orange, brown, red) For comparison, amethyst is purple quartz. Quartz is a common stone with a hardness of 7. It occurs naturally in many, many colors and may be treated to change its color too. Various quartz crystals can form together (usually amethyst or smoky and citrine) to form bi-colored quartz.
