Freedom Credit Union, a Bucks County credit union, is making things easier not only for their members, but for the planet by now making all accounts available to go paperless, by doing so members can relax knowing that their account is as secure as it always been while being more convenient and easier to access. An added plus is for a limited time those who sign up for eStatements will be automatically put into the running to win one of three spa packages in downtown Philadelphia.
(PRWEB) December 19, 2012
The lucky members of Freedom Credit Union who win the spa packages for going paperless will be set up for a great night with their companion, where they can escape for a night with a massage at Toppers Rittenhouse Spa, dinner of their choosing at one of Stephen Starrs acclaimed restaurants in the city, and an overnight stay at any Marriott hotel; all as a courtesy of Freedom Credit Union eStatements.
By going paperless using eStatements with a Montgomery County Credit Union like Freedom Credit Union, members can have the good sense of mind knowing that they are helping the planet by going green, not having to wait for the mail and rid themselves of paper statements by keeping all of their account information on the computer. Going paperless also minimizes the ability of thiefs getting account information and helps keep people from being a victim of identity theft.

WikiLeaks has recently announced the creation of a new organisation called the Freedom of the Press Foundation . The following excerpt from the press release gives a quick description of the new initiative:
This newborn institution, I think, has the potential to consolidate deep transformations in the way global journalism operates, transformations that have been slowly cooking since the early days of the World Wide Web. This is why I think that it is necessary to elaborate on how journalism has been shaken and transformed over the past decades.
By understanding the greater context of the crisis of journalism, and the crisis of newspapers in particular, it will be possible to understand this new entity, its role in global affairs and our relationship with it as global citizens. This story, I must warn, takes a necessary detour that might initially seem strange, a detour into the economics of classified ads. It will pay off though, so please bear with me.
Natural migration
The decline of newspapers in the West has been the topic of extensive academic research and public debate since the late 90s, when the internet boomed in mass adoption. The generally accepted version is that this crisis of newspapers is simply that advertising budgets were diluted in the vast waters of the internet. However, newspapers continue to attract large corporate advertising deals and generate cash flow that is at least sufficient enough to produce print and online versions of most major newspapers at a profit.
While changes in media consumption meant less time spent reading newspapers, marginal declines in corporate advertising were met with proportional budget (that is, staff) cuts. All things being equal, this would mean an equally marginal decline in coverage and overall content quality, but not a fundamental crisis of the journalism profession.
The real upset brought by the new communication technology of the internet was the disruption it brought to the dynamics of classified advertising.
The intrinsic characteristics of the internet as a medium, its ability to instantly distribute highly searchable information, without space restrictions and at near-zero cost, made it so superior to print for this purpose that the migration of classifieds to the web was inevitable. It was a good thing too, because the newspaper was really a costly middleman somehow profiting from exchanges between individuals.
The manager of the classifieds section in a US newspaper once remarked , were "news which we are fortunate to be paid to print". Indeed, each classified ad is a microscopic bit of journalism in the sense that it reports on an event of the life of the city: there is a two bedroom apartment for sale, an accounting position is available, there is a mature woman looking for a serious relationship.
What allowed the newspaper to charge these unsuspecting reporters was the high cost of the printing presses and the logistics of distribution, an insurmountable economic barrier that made potential encounters for exchange between citizens only possible through the newspaper. To find each other, they had to pay.

Green Tara Mantra x108 - [Protects Us From Mental/Emotional Poisons]
In Tibetan Buddhism, om tare tuttare ture soha is an ancient mantra that is related to Tara, the "Mother of all Buddhas," and especially to her manifestation as Green Tara. The first Dalai Lama wrote that we can call on her to instantly save us from eight particular dangers, each of which represents a corresponding human mental problem: lions mdash; pride wild elephants mdash; delusion and ignorance forest fires mdash; hatred snakes mdash; jealousy robbers mdash; wrong views, including fanatical views prisons mdash; greed and miserliness floods mdash; desire and attachment demons mdash; doubts caused by delusion Tara, who Tibetans also call Dolma, is commonly thought to be a Bodhisatva or Buddha of compassion and action, a protector who comes to our aid to relieve us of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. Ordinary Tibetans pray to her when we are sick, when leaving for a long journey, or when we hope for success or wealth. His Holiness #39; teaching shows us that this is not actually the true purpose of praying to or reciting mantras to Tara. When we chant the Green Tara mantra, we are not simply asking for Tara #39;s blessings and help with our lives and our "real world" problems. Actually, we are also asking to be liberated from the misery of the mental delusions and negative emotions that blind us to true freedom, and to achieve the same enlightened body, speech and mind that Tara represents, not only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of all sentient beings.From:ShaktipatSeer2Views:0 0ratingsTime:03:14More inMusic

WCIT, TPP, Russia PNTR: Growing Recognition of Internet Freedom As A Trade Issue
DALLAS, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Mike Mason, Weathermatic President and CEO, traveled to Philadelphia on December 6 to celebrate the annual Army-Navy weekend. Mr. Mason was most enthusiastic about the Freedom Alliance Defender of Freedom Dinner, held on December 7 at the city's historic National Guard Armory.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121219/CG32896)
The dinner featured the presentation of the Edward J. Bronars Defender of Freedom Award, which is given each year to an individual who courageously and faithfully upholds freedom and the Constitution in the face of hardship. This year's award was given to Sergeant First Class and Medal of Honor Recipient Sammy Davis, who bravely served in Vietnam and rescued his fellow soldiers while under heavy attack.
Robert Beausoleil, president and owner of Philadelphia-based Aquarius Supply and one of Weathermatic's biggest distributors, has attended the Defender of Freedom dinner for three consecutive years. "Meeting the veterans, especially the three surviving members of Thomas Edison Highschool, was very impactful. ROTC students from Philadelphia University were sitting at our table, and it was nice to see every age of veterans," said Mr. Beausoleil.
Mike Mason has served on the board of directors for the Freedom Alliance for fifteen years and commits himself to serving this non-profit organization. Created by Lieutenant Colonel Ollie North, USMC in 1990, the Freedom Alliance gratefully provides educational opportunities and support to service members and their families. Through the Support Our Troops program, they recognize and support Armed Forces members and their families.
Even in the midst of leading Weathermatic, Mike Mason has passionately desired success for the Scholarship Fund, one of the founding visions for the Freedom Alliance. This fund provides educational scholarships for the sons and daughters of Armed Forces members who have been disabled or wounded serving our country, and has created a $20 million endowment that now guarantees scholarships to all eligible scholarship applicants. "That every single student who applies for a scholarship receives it is the most unimaginable and humbling thing for me," says Mason. "It is only by the hand of God that we are able to offer that kind of generosity."
Although he has helped lead the Freedom Alliance for fifteen years, the recent death of his friend and Regional Sales Manager Matt Piper made serving others an even higher priority for Mike Mason. Weathermatic leadership rewrote company values, and spurred by Mason's passion for serving others, started the Save Water | Give Life program to help provide clean drinking water to countries devastated by the disease, economic losses, impeded education, and gender inequality stemming from dirty drinking water and poor hygiene.
In this way, Mike Mason is committed to caring for and serving people in need, whether American citizens helped by the Freedom Alliance or people worldwide who need clean water to drink. It is due to such commitment to philanthropy that clients like Rob Beausoleil trust Weathermatic for their irrigation needs.

DEBT AND SPENDING "JUNKIES"!
Huxley feared that our desires would ruin us. Orwell was afraid that what we fear would ruin us. The oligarchs have pushed the Huxley vision to its sustainable limit.. The avarice and greed of these power brokers has devoured the vast resources of the nation. These psychopaths weren #39;t satisfied with siphoning off most of the wealth of the country. They wanted it all and wrecked the global economy in their odious pursuit of mammon.. We are now in the death throes of the most decadent, delusional, debt engendered era in the long history of mankind. Those in power realize it is slipping away. Their "solutions" reflect an air of desperation. Their propaganda efforts have been redoubled.. As more middle class workers lose their jobs, more young people graduate from college with tens of thousands in student loan debt and a future of dramatically reduced expectations, and more people are driven beyond their breaking point, this materialistic shroud of happiness will be torn asunder. Anger is building like a lava dome within a volcano.. A critical thinking minority are questioning the motives of those in power. The unsustainability of our economic paradigm is certain. The seeds of revolution are being sown. Our society is only fantasy. It will be up to an irate tireless minority of freedom minded citizens to tear down this wall of illusion...From:ZeroPoint2013Views:0 0ratingsTime:03:27More inNews Politics
