PBS refunded
Yahoo! Mail - crispin3d@yahoo.com: "In an unexpected move yesterday afternoon, the House of Representatives approved a measure to restore $100 million of funding for NPR, PBS and local public stations.1 Republican leaders were proposing to slash $200 million from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but you helped stop them.
Everyone said it was impossible to reverse any of the House cuts with Republicans in control. Yesterday's Washington Post described the divide between Democrats and Republicans like this:
'[O]n Capitol Hill, it's hard to find a Republican with anything nice to say about National Public Radio or the Public Broadcasting Service. Instead, they denounce them as liberal and elitist, when they bother to talk about them at all.'2
Public broadcasting shouldn't divide Republicans and Democrats. More Americans trust NPR and PBS for balanced news and children's programming than any commercial network.3 Yet many Republicans have been intent on either gagging or starving public broadcasting.
So why did 87 Republicans break with the majority of their party and vote to restore the funding? In large part, because over 1 million of you signed the petition calling on Congress to reverse course. And over 40,000 of you made phone calls to your elected representatives. There was a surge of public outrage that couldn't be ignored. This victory was possible because we were joined by Free Press, Common Cause and strong allies in the House—Representatives Markey, Obey, Lowey, Dingell, Hinchey, Watson, Schakowsky, Blumenauer, Eshoo, Slaughter, and Leach, a brave Republican.
Despite this incredible progress, the House Republicans did manage to cut over $100 million, including funding for children's programming like 'Sesame Street.' We'll take our fight to the Senate when it considers the budget later this summer. But yesterday's vote makes it much more likely we can restore every last cent for NPR and PBS by acting to"

PBS government funding slashed .... PLEASE READ
"In the next few days, the House of Representatives will vote on whether to slash funding for NPR and PBS. And tomorrow, before they vote, we'll present stacks and stacks of printed petitions and public comments to save public broadcasting. We'll be joined by members of Congress and the public TV and radio staff fighting for survival.
Over 820,000 people have signed the petition so far���simply incredible. But we want to present 1 million signatures to the press tomorrow, and we can do it with your help. In all our years of online organizing, we've never heard of one million Americans signing a petition in a week, but we're within striking distance now.
Already, the public outcry has delayed the effort to eliminate funding entirely, but the proposed cuts would still cripple NPR and PBS. Help us reach 1 million signers by the end of the day. Help us reach 1 million signers by the end of the day. Send the note below to your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors who watch or listen to public TV and radio.
Thank you for all you do,

CHANCE GROWING
In this piece i decided to dig a hole in a highly vegitated area. The displaced dirt was then boxed and placed in a environment that would produce some sort of vegitation growth. This is a time based exploration. I will water and care for the soil with the hope of some sort of growth..
