FOX’s objective is clear: carpet bomb Barack Obama with negative stories, distortions, and smears before the Pennsylvania primary in an attempt to skew the outcome toward the Republicans’ preferred adversary, Hillary Clinton. But did FOX imagine that the “liberal” media would be such willing accomplices?

Incredible "free running" (aka parkour) video

clipped by: ericskiff
clipper's remarks: I wanted to train seriously for parkour last year when I was running for fitness, but a small extra bone in my right foot makes landing hurt a LOT. These guys are still my heroes though. They make Jackie Chan look like a chump!

Work from home with PajamaNation

clipped by: ericskiff
clipper's remarks: Interesting. I think there are amazing ways to harness services like amazon's mechanical turk and pajamanation that haven't even been explored yet.

Clip Source: www.pajamanation.com

Pajamanation® is a reverse-auction electronic market place for microjobs for PajamaWorkers (small jobs outsourced). It has the ambition to become the reference network for home-based micropreneurs in 50 countries and the global portal and gateway for this new community.

Although there are many sites for freelancers in the world none has these five unique selling points:

PJN does not charge any transaction fees
PJN is for knowledge workers working from home (PajamaWorkers) and supports a new economic agenda of micropreneurs (entrepreneurs out of necessity) performing microjobs.
PJN is a global initiative and will eventually encompass 53 countries in five continents
PJN's engine incorporates four years of experience in the PajamaWorker market with the techniques of the free market (reverse auctions)

It will be the biggest revolution since we left the farm. (USA)

The World's Largest Living Organism

clipper's remarks: Amazing that this entire giant forest is in essence one tree with a massive root system.

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

Pando (or The Trembling Giant^[1]) is a clonal colony of a single male Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) tree located in the U.S. state of Utah, all determined to be part of a single living organism by identical genetic markers,^[2] and one massive underground root system. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,000 tonnes (six million kilograms),^[3] placing it as the heaviest known organism in existence.^[4] The root system of Pando is estimated to be among the oldest known living organisms in existence at 80,000 years of age.^[5]

The clone encompasses 43 hectares (107 acres) and has around 47,000 trunks, which continually die and are renewed by its roots. The trunks are connected together by its root system. The average age of Pando's trunks (or technically, stems) is 130 years, as deciphered by tree rings. Michael Grant in BioScience said:
