Life Without Limbs :: Nick Vujicic

Life Without Limbs :: Nick Vujicic It is a great privilege to welcome you to the Life Without Limbs.org website. My name is Nick Vujicic and I'm 25 years old. I was born without arms or legs and given no medical reason for this condition. Faced with countless challenges and obstacles, God has given me the strength to surmount what others might call impossible. Along with that, the Lord has placed within me an unquenchable passion to share this same hope and genuine love that I’ve personally experienced with more than two million people all over the globe.

Many TV Stations Switching Despite Digital Delay : NPR

Many TV Stations Switching Despite Digital Delay : NPR "Despite a law delaying the switch to digital television until June, hundreds of TV stations are planning to turn off their analog signals on Tuesday, potentially leaving millions of unprepared viewers in the dark.
On Wednesday, President Obama signed a bill to delay the nationwide switch from analog to digital television to June 12. The long-planned switch was scheduled for Feb. 17, but a federal program to help subsidize the cost of digital-converter boxes with coupons ran out of money, leaving little time for consumers to get ready for the changeover."

The Space Fellowship

The Space Fellowship "This will be a very big year for SpaceX and the NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. In 2006, SpaceX won the NASA COTS competition to demonstrate transport of cargo and optionally crew to and from the International Space Station. Under that agreement, SpaceX will conduct the second flight of its Falcon 9 launch vehicle and first flight of its Dragon spacecraft in 2009. The final flight, scheduled for 2010, will demonstrate Dragon’s ability to berth with the Space Station."
"Immediately thereafter, SpaceX will begin conducting the first of 12 operational cargo flights to the Space Station, awarded under the Cargo Resupply Services contract a few months ago. The CRS contract has a minimum value of $1.6B and a maximum value of $3.1B and, as stated by NASA, its success is vital to the future of the Space Station."

2008 National Environmental Scorecard

WASHINGTON, D.C. – For 30 years, the non-partisan LCV Scorecard has been the nationally accepted yardstick used to gauge how members of Congress voted on key energy and environmental issues. The majority of the 11 Senate and 13 House votes in the 2008 Scorecard are energy votes that presented Congress with a real choice: chart a bold new course that puts Americans back to work, saves families money at the gas pump and on home heating bills, improves our national security, and protects the planet for future generations; or, continue the disastrous energy policies of the last eight years that have benefited only the oil industry. This Scorecard separates those members of Congress who are embracing a new energy future from those who are wedded to the past. 2008 National Environmental Scorecard

The Great Warming - Home

The Great Warming - Home: "We are living at the dawn of a new epoch. Year by year, degree by degree, Earth is growing warmer... a legacy of the Industrial Revolution, population growth, and our addiction to technology, speed and power.

Just as other generations spoke of a Great Plague and a Great Depression, our children will be compelled to endure The Great Warming - and find a way to conquer its consequences.

Filmed in eight countries on four continents, endorsed by dozens of the world's leading scientists, this is the most factually accurate, visually stunning and wide-ranging production ever mounted about this complex, fascinating subject."

The Riff: Poll: Do You Miss Bush Lingo Yet?

The Riff: Poll: Do You Miss Bush Lingo Yet? Vote for your favorite Bush lingo quote: "This is historic times. (Washington DC, 2003) I think it's very important for the American President to mean what he says. That's why I understand that the enemy could misread what I say. That's why I try to be as clearly I can. (Washington DC, 2008) I don't particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say it. (Texas, 2007) I'm the master of low expectations. (Air Force One, 2003) It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it. (Reuters, 2000) We ought to make the pie higher. (South Carolina, 2000) You're working hard to put food on your family. (New Hampshire, 2000) Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream. (Wisconsin, 2000) Rarely is the question asked, are, is our children learning? (South Carolina, 2000) You teach a child to read and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test. (Tennessee, 2001) Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country. (Missouri, 2004) I was like a pit bull on the pant leg of opportunity. (New York Times, 2000) I want to share with you an interesting program – for two reasons, one, it's interesting, and two, my wife thought of it – or has actually been involved with it; she didn't think of it. But she thought of it for this speech. (Washington DC, 2008) The Senator has got to understand that he can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road. (South Carolina, 2000) The folks who conducted to act on our country on September 11th made a big mistake.… They misunderestimated the fact that we love a neighbor in need. They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the Commander-in-Chief, too. (Virginia, 2001) I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. (Washington DC, 2006) We need an energy bill that encourages consumption. (New Jersey, 2002) You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror. (CNN, 2006) When you're marching to war, it's not a very optimistic thought, is it? In other words, it's the opposite of optimistic when you're thinking you're going to war. (Missouri, 2004) It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way. (White House, 2005) I'm telling you there's an enemy that would like to attack America, Americans, again. There just is. That's the reality of the world. And I wish him all the very best. (Washington DC, 2009) Oftentimes I'm asked, why? Why do you care what happens outside of America? (Washington DC, 2008) The German asparagus are fabulous. (Germany, 2008) We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease. (Sweden, 2001) First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill. (White House, 2003) We're making the right decisions to bring the solution to an end. (Washington DC, 2001) I am determined to keep the process on the road to peace. (White House, 2003) One of the great things about America, one of the beauties of our country, is that when we see a young, innocent child blown up by an IED, we cry. (Washington DC, 2006) Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech. (White House, 2008) I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the President (Washington DC, 2008) I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office. (Washington DC, 2008) I think we agree, the past is over. (Campaign airplane, 2000) Bonus: There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again. (Tennessee, 2002)"
