Opponents to development of the long-vacant Capitol Center Building - known locally as The Mistake by the Lake - say it's time for the state and City of Olympia to buy the block of buildings and tear them down and finish the planned isthmus park.

Protest at the Consulate General of Egypt
500 North Michigan Avenue # 1900
Sat, Jan 29th, - 2:00 PM
Inspired by the successful ouster of the tyrant of Tunisia and the continued mobilizations in that country for justice,the Egyptian people have organized massive marches and rallies throughout their country for the past 3 days, fighting off vicious police attacks and mass arrests to call for the ouster of the hated Mubarak regime. They have shown they will not give up - even in the face of guns, tear gas and other weapons supplied and paid for by the United States.
A free Egypt is the key to justice throughout the Arab world.
Come stand in solidarity with the brave people of Egypt!
Marijuana Legalization intro. @ PA Capital 2013 (Sen. Daylin Leach)

Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach to Announce Marijuana Legalization Bill on Monday!
WHO:PA State Senator Daylin Leach, (D-Montgomery/Delaware)
Neill Franklin, Executive Director, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition
David Nathan, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, who teaches and practices general adult psychiatry in Princeton, New Jersey.
WHAT: Press conference announcing introduction of Pennsylvania legislation to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol.
WHERE: Capitol Media Center, Room 1 in the East Wing of the Capitol Building, Harrisburg
On Monday, 2:00 pm, February 11th, Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach officially introduced a bill to tax and regulate marijuana in Pennsylvania, a measure he believes will raise much needed revenue for the state.
This past November, the people of Washington State and Colorado voted to fully legalize marijuana, said Leach. It is time for Pennsylvania to be a leader in jettisoning this modern-day prohibition, and ending a policy that has been destructive, costly and anti-scientific.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

As of the 2010 Census, the city's population was 153,060. Metropolitan Springfield, as one of two metropolitan areas in Massachusetts (the other being Greater Boston), had a population of 692,942 as of 2010.The first Springfield in the New World, it is the largest city in western New England, and the urban, economic, and cultural capital of Massachusetts' Connecticut River Valley (colloquially known as the Pioneer Valley). It is the third-largest city in Massachusetts and fourth-largest in New England after Boston, Worcester, and Providence. Springfield has several nicknames – The City of Firsts, due to the many innovations developed there, such as the first American dictionary, the first American gas-powered automobile, and the first machining lathe for interchangeable parts; The City of Homes, due to its Victorian residential architecture; and Hoop City, as basketball – one of the world's most popular sports – was invented in Springfield in 1891 by James Naismith.
Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, lies 24 miles (39 km) south of Springfield, on the western bank of the Connecticut River.

SUMMARY
=======
Quebec ( ( listen); French: Québec [kebɛk] ( listen)) is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada (with Ontario).
Quebec is the second-most populous province of Canada, after Ontario. It is the only one to have a predominantly French-speaking population, with French as the sole provincial official language. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. Approximately half of Quebec residents live in the Greater Montreal Area, including the Island of Montreal. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples. The climate around the major cities is four-season continental with cold and snowy winters combined with warm to hot humid summers, but farther north long winter seasons dominate and as a result the northern areas of the province are marked by tundra conditions. Even in central Quebec, at comparatively southerly latitudes, winters are severe in inland areas.
Quebec independence debates have played a large role in the politics of the province. Parti Québécois governments held referendums on sovereignty in 1980 and 1995; both were rejected by voters, the latter defeated by a very narrow margin. In 2006, the House of Commons of Canada passed a symbolic motion recognizing the Québécois as a nation within a united Canada.While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, sectors of the knowledge economy such as aerospace, information and communication technologies, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry also play leading roles. These many industries have all contributed to helping Quebec become an economically influential province within Canada, second only to Ontario in economic output.
