Help Michigan State Parks Earn Free Trees
Help Michigan State Parks Earn Free Trees
In the Odwalla juice company’s 2010 Plant a Tree campaign, Michigan residents helped to push our state into the top spot for the second consecutive year – capturing more than $45,000 worth of free trees that will help repopulate areas of state parks that were hardest hit by invasive species. Our parks need your help – and votes – again in 2011, to make it three in a row! Odwalla’s Plant a Tree program is in its fourth year and will be available in all 50 states. Voting has just gotten under way and time is critical. Last year, states competed for $200,000 in free tree money; this year, that pool is reduced to $100,000. Please visit the website and vote for a tree to be planted in Michigan. One vote equals $1 toward free trees in Michigan state parks. Spread the word to your family, friends, co-workers and anyone who cares about the health and sustainability of Michigan’s natural resources. Please visit www.odwalla.com/plantatree today and lend your support to Michigan state parks. Your vote makes all the difference!

URI vs. URL
- URI: An indicator of where a resource is. This means that multiple URIs can point to the same resource but are themselves different addresses. Following a URI might take any number of hops or redirections until it actually arrives at the resource.
- URL: a stricter term that identifies the exact location of a resource. This subtle difference has blurred over time such that nobody cares about the difference. I will continue to use the term URL, because people are more comfortable with it.

Federal Budget vs. Household Budget: How Do They Compare? - Economy
Dave Ramsey lays out the U.S. Government’s budget for 2011:
The federal government will take in $2.173 trillion in 2011. That’s their income, and it sounds pretty good. Until, that is, you factor in that the federal government will spend $3.818 trillion during the year. So, just like many families, the government’s outgo exceeds their income—to the tune of $1.645 trillion in overspending. That’s called the deficit. Altogether, the government has $14.2 trillion in debt.
What would that look like if a typical household lived the same way?
If their household income was $55,000 per year, they’d be overspending by 43%. That is, they’d be making $55,000 but spending $96,500. That means in 2011, they’d add $41,500 of debt to their current credit card debt $366,000!
Now do you see why cutting a measly $38 Billion, or even $61 Billion is not going to cut it? The Republicans and Democrats in Congress need to face reality.
