Quiet Pondering within the mind of an adolescent...

My life is not of a day by day recurrence, a multitude of banal misfortunes; it is ,though, a multitude of ways of acting and interacting, of being and living, and of qualities in a relationship with my creator, and thus, his creation.

It is thus near to nature that much of my life still is; hence my story, rather than being replete with statistics of commercial behavior, it is a record of my relations with, and dependence upon the phenomena of the universe - the trees and shrubs, the sun and stars, the lightning and the rain, and my God above - for these to me are animate creatures. Under God, these are more, therefore are extraordinary and special, since upon them, I must depend for my well-being.

There is much corruption in this world, but the good are far from vanishing. The problem, rather, is rooted in a continuing and ever expanding process of despiritualization whereby dimensions of my God and King are eliminated from life, and from being and acting. There is no person immune to the pervasiveness of this process.

Perhaps it may be, and this is my prayer that, through Jesus Christ may come to those people who are capable of understanding, on understanding which must be of the heart, and not of the mind alone. Then they will realize that there is one true God, and that his way, only, leads us to salvation.

WASHINGTON (CNN) --

There's little debate that Democrats who run Congress mark President Obama's 100-day milestone with some significant victories.

First and foremost, they passed the president's $787 billion measure intended to stimulate the economy with warp speed, meeting his February deadline.

Congressional Democrats also made good on promises to push through several priorities that President Bush had refused to sign into law.

They finally approved last year's bill to fund the government, with significant increases in spending for things such as education, health care and transportation.

And Democrats passed long stalled legislation for children's health insurance -- the State Children's Health Insurance Program, known as S-CHIP -- as well as the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act mandating equal pay for women in the workplace.

Technology-Brazil: E-Waste Can Produce Marvels

Using pieces from all sorts of useless equipment, students at the Computer Recovery Centre in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre have put 1,700 computers into operation in three years.

By the end of 2009 they should reach 2,500 computers, which will be distributed to schools, day care centres, non-governmental organisations and computer centres, bringing technology to people who otherwise have little or no access to it in this city of 1.5 million people, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul state.

CRC's raw material is electronic waste from the federal government, banks, private companies and individuals, who get rid of outdated computers to make way for newer ones, or because they aren't able to repair the ones they have.

Before, these computers, printers and tech accessories would have been dumped in landfills, but now they are seeing an extension of their useful life, or are even recycled as part of works of art.
The project is part of the Brazilian Programme for Digital Inclusion. As in the others, CRC of Porto Alegre is located in a poor suburb. There, 88 young people from low-income families receive a scholarship that allows them to learn to dismantle, recondition, adapt and rebuild equipment, install free software, and programme and configure computers.
