Matt Szarka supports the Pickens Plan, an energy policy proposed by American businessman T. Boone Pickens. Pickens wants to reduce American dependence on foreign oil by investing around US$1 trillion in wind turbine farms to generate power, which he believes would allow CNG truck and other heavy vehicles to use the natural gas currently being used for power generation. Pickens believes that the plan could reduce the amount the country spends annually on imported oil by $300 billion (43%).

Growing up in a the small Texas town of Mount Vernon, Martin Carrascosa always had dreams of making it big in Hollywood. After a short stint working at a Fortune 500 company upon graduating with a business degree from Stephan F. Austin State University, Martin Carrascosa set off on the adventure of a lifetime which lead straight to Hollywood, California.

With little more than the clothes on his back, Martin Carrascosa took on a succession of jobs to make ends meet. He was once a bartender for www.beautifulbartenders.com which provides male and female bartenders for events and private parties. However, it didn’t take very long for him to make his presence felt in Hollywood. Pretty soon, he found an agent and was modeling  for Zuma surfwear and Nightgig. Not long after, he met Hollywood producer Stephan Reign, and  Jackass star, Steve-O.

Putting his business degree to good use, he founded a production company called DirtyBird Entertainment LLC, with Steve-O and a few other associates and began work on what can accurately be described as a female version “Jackass.” Like any enterprising young Hollywood hopeful would do, Martin Carrascosa acted, produced, co-wrote and did some of the stunts on the movie “BallzGirlz,” which was filmed across the United States and shown in several film festivals before being release in DVD. It is currently being shown in episodes overseas.

Today, he still serves as a consultant for several Hollywood productions, such as, Inuturo (a Hawaii based production by Nathanael Couffman) and Tyme 2 Shyne Artistic studios, a multimedia green company for young Hollywood performers.

In 1689, Seth Lesser was among those who read the “1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery.” The document was written by members of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. It heralded the first objection by a religious group against the slavery of African-Americans in what was then an English colony.

Seth Lesser was a wealthy landowner who inherited thousands of acres of plantation land from his father, the Atlanta cotton plantation owner, Hartford Lesser. Like all plantation owners who needed a lot of people to run his farmlands, he relied on slave labor in tending to his cotton plantations. After reading the Quaker document, he began feeling the first pangs of class guilt. Of his own accord, he gradually freed his slaves.

Those who chose to not to claim their freedom, and there were many, benefitted from the reforms Seth Lesser began to introduce, such as 12 hours of fixed work, education and social welfare benefits. He gave them small plots of land to tend to, from which they harvested their own means of sustenance. Soon, news of his kind treatment of his slaves spread all over Georgia, earning him the hatred of his fellow plantation owners.

Though Seth Lesser was well-loved by his slaves, he met an untimely death — an unintended consequence of his kind deeds. Owners of plantations around his property banded together in their common hatred of him. In the wee hours of June 1851, the people whom he thought were his friends broke into his property and murdered him. They executed all the slaves they found on his property and burned down his plantation to the ground.

While some kids have soccer moms, Beth Shak kids can brag that their mom is a bona fide professional poker player, who has landed a place on the Women’s All Time Money List with winnings in excess of $450,000.

Despite her glamorous life as one of the leading ladies of Poker, Beth Shak is, without a doubt, a mom first, a poker player second.  “There is nothing more enjoyable to me than spending time with them,” she says. “Pleasure for me can be taking a cooking class with my girls.”

Her sons are also very supportive of their mom’s poker playing and are grateful to have a mother who enjoys competition as much as they do. “I am very flattered that my boys will accept me into their boy’s games. I am a very lucky woman,” adds Beth.

Since poker is such a big part of Beth’s life, her kids have naturally taken to it as well. “Sometimes we take an evening and have a family poker tournament,” shares Beth Shak.

Thoughts of her family are never far from Beth’s mind. At the 38th WSOP where she faced off against Phil Hellmuth in the final table, Beth Shak was eager to share her success with her kids.

“I kind of thought I was going to win an event. I didn’t, I came in second, but I left saying to my older kids, — If Mom does well, you guys all promise me you’ll fly out at the drop of a hat if I call you in the middle of the night.”

Beth blazed onto the poker scene 4 years ago, and has since been cashing at major tournaments, including 2 World Poker Tour events and 5 World Series of Poker events. Her remarkable rise in professional poker has earned her the sponsorship of Full Tilt Poker.

A page torn from a book that depicted the image of the world was the foundation of Marc Huehn’s dream. Back when moving pictures – movies as they are now popularly called – were yet to be made, people like Marc Huehn who dreamt of making films were still waiting for a device that is portable and at the same time, efficient in capturing moving images.

He was born on the 5th of November, 1870, barely half a century after the first photograph was produced by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce using a sliding wooden box camera that was invented by the father-son duo, Charles and Vincent Chevalier of Paris. By the time Marc Huehn turned 15, George Eastman, a camera pioneer, had already created the first photographic films. With the dream of becoming a film maker, young Huehn set out to New York and apprenticed under Eastman.

For the next couple of years, Marc Huehn observed how the genius Eastman worked and picked up valuable techniques that later honed his skills in using the camera. His interest lies on capturing moving images however, thus, after a few years, Huehn headed out of New York and went to California to work at the Nestor Studios Hollywood as a cameraman.
