The contents are as follows: 1) Zack Martin Grant Application Deadlines/Requirement For 2008 2) Update On The Zack Martin Grants 3) General Zack Martin Info And Donation Logistics a) Still need $$$ to reach our $100,000 goal for yearly grants of $5,000. Zack Martin Breaking Barriers (ZMBB) 2008 Applications Last year, 2007, the award was $2,500 and we hope to offer the same this year. The application abstracts are due on March 15. The grant will be awarded by mid-May. For details see http://www.americanalpineclub.org/pages/page/51'>http://www.americanalpineclub.org/pages/page/51 Zack Martin Breaking Barriers (ZMBB) Recipient Update 2006 ZMBB Update During summer 2007, Adam French, recipient of the 2006 ZMBB grant, had the fortune to return to Peru's Cordillera Blanca, in part to check up on the composting toilet he and partner Ben Ditto built in the Ishinca Valley. Much to his satisfaction, the structure was standing tall and seeing plenty of use (roughly 800 pounds of waste had been contained rather than entering the watershed). In addition, Huascaran National Park and locals have adopted the new system and would like to replicate it in other areas of the park. The next step for the coming summer is for the "compost" to be used in local pasture improvement and reforestation efforts. More money is needed if you have an interest in donating. The Ishinca Toilet project was brought under the umbrella of the Alpine Conservation Partnership's developing work in the region. For further details please visit: http://americanalpineclub.org/pages/story/6/69 2007 ZMBB Update During the summer of 2007, Fabrizio Zangrilli and Billy Pierson were awarded the $2,500 ZMBB Grant for a new route the the south face of K2. The attempt was unsuccessful due to weather and the need to assist in a rescue on K2. On the humanitarian side, Fabrizio initiated obtained approval from village elders to build a girls school in the Khane valley. Initiation of the building, funding of a teacher etc are in process. For a detailed trip report see For the detailed trip report see http://www.girlseducationinternational.blogspot.com/ More money is needed. If you have an interest in donating to this cause contact Lizzy Scully at Girls Educational International http://www.girlsed.org/ General Zack Martin Breaking Barriers (ZMBB) Info And Donation Logistics We still are fund raising and need $50,000 to hit our goal of $100,000. With $100,000 we will be able to offer $5,000 every year for 'perpetuity'. Thanks you if you have donated and if not, we are always ready to accept ANY GENEROSITY your heart may offer. American Alpine Club Website http://www.americanalpineclub.org/ ZMBB Grant Website: http://www.americanalpineclub.org/pages/page/51 The Grant Fund Specifics The "Breaking Barriers" grant will be awarded to young, promising climbers and mountaineers to support the exploration of the unknown. This grant is different from others because their is a humanitarian aspect. Each recipient must "tackle" a worthy alpine objective but also perform a humanitarian service for the local people. Zack received several grants from the AAC, Anatoli Boukreev and others but he was never satisfied with only physical exploration. He wanted to explore the people, their customs and their hearts in an attempt to "give something back"......to...... "break barriers". This makes the grant unique and a most honorable cause. To date, we have collected around $35,000 and my target is $100,000 to we can offer $5,000 a year in perpetuity http://www.americanalpineclub.org/knowledge/grants_Zack_%20Martin.asp'>http://www.americanalpineclub.org/knowledge/grants_Zack_%20Martin.asp http://www.americanalpineclub.org/knowledge/grants_Zack_ Martin.asp Zack Martin Website at: http://home.att.net/~zack_martin_breaking_barriers Donations American Alpine Club c/o Donations 710 10th St Suite 100 Golden, CO 80401 Include on check: Zack Martin Breaking Barriers Fund (all funds are tax deductible) Thanks JP John Parsons 8109 Rye Ct Longmont, CO 80503 john.p.parsons@att.net

One could make a case for these jobs raising the standard of living/increasing opportunity for these people, but the true question is why are these people worth less? An Economics 101 course would be helpful to you. It's troubling when the reality of the vast improvement of hundreds of thousands of individual people's lives conflicts with one's socio/political paradigm, yes? Ever read the Time Machine by HG Wells... Everytime I go into a well lit, well air conditioned department store with the nice mind-numbing lite-FM Jazz music playing overhead for the hundreds of shoppers and I see an item on the rack, whether it be food goods or clothing, if the tags say made in China or Asia its usually way cheaper than items made in USA or Europe my mind goes back to the Time Machine. In the story we go underground, in the dark, damp caves where the Moorlocks slaved and made everything perfect for the well lit world above where the Sun People consumed everything bought to them. The Sun People stayed in total oblivion to what was going on in the workshops down below. For the Sun people, their world was perfect and in harmony with itself. However, it was not and there was always a balance to be paid and the Moorlocks made damn sure it was paid! In the story we eventually find out at the climax that the totally dependant Sun People would literally die without the Moorlocks aide. The Time Traveller soon realized it was the Moorlocks who where the true masters of the planet and the idiotic consumers, the Sun People, where in fact slaves being farmed by the Moorlocks for meat (Spoilers: The Moorlocks were cannibals and ate the Sun People whom they clothed and fattened with gifts and fresh farmed foods). Anyway..the production abilities of Mexico, China/Asia and even parts of Eastern Europe versus our American/Western Culture consumption abilities tells a similar tale that may have the same or a parallel climactic result as the Time Machine story. When these fast growing productive 3rd World Countries develop economically, militarilly and financially to a 1st World status will they still want to be the bitches of the western world or will they invade our country and take over our consumption dependent economies. Which brings me to a quote a wise man once said; "An economy based on consumption will always be weaker and eventually fall prey to the economy based on production" I'm glad for you that your imagination entertains unfettered by reality.

But, then your package couldn't be considered unless one ascribed to homoeopathy. Not sure how you obtain your information, but it certainly isn't anywhere near the size of the telephone pole firmly lodged up your ass. You were the one who insisted on using your tongue to "forestall future fecal impactions". And, although your tongue dwarfs your appendage lower, it really isn't larger than normal. A pity the peccadillos of the sexually insecure. ...more's the pity that you didn't have that pole milled smooth (and staples removed) before insertion. talk about a stimulus package

I hate learning? Again, there are plenty of crotch-zip garments out there. Are you simply looking for someone else to do your search work for you?

I've seen more success on units with switches applied on their backsides.

I heard that one: it involved an unpleasant presence of Tauntaun.
