 Evolution isn’t just about life forms going from single- to multiple-cell organisms, or a monkey’s uncle turning into your Uncle Bob after a few eons. Evolution is “a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form," meaning that both living things and man’s inventions become more sophisticated over time. Can we apply a non-organic Theory of Evolution to the development of the dress? Certainly. Why not? The dress, or something like it, has been an important feature in the wardrobe of women throughout all societies in recorded history. recover email lost by compacting

 Women activists from five nations that host U.S. military bases drew up their own plans for global security that do not rely on testing bombs and advanced computer technology but call for national autonomy and a healthy environment. NAHA CITY, Okinawa, Japan--As she stood before the crowd, a 92-year-old Okinawan woman raised her fragile shoulders and arms as if conducting a chorus. Other women from her town of Henoko began to drum and she started her dance protesting the planned installation of a U.S. naval heliport on her island. "I want to thank you for coming here from far away to hear our truth," she said to the women from Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Puerto Rico and the United States who had gathered here during the last week of June to attend the third Women"s Summit on redefining global security.

 The other day, when I went shopping for groceries, I was asked to pay for the plastic bags used to carry my purchases. I was appalled. That happened to be bring your own bag day. Many customers walked off in a huff that day. We tend to take for granted the plastic bags stores usually give their customers for free. On hindsight, the stores which tried to get customers to bring their own bags rather than use the stores plastic bags were doing the environment a favor. Even if it meant offending their customers. Plastic bags are among the modern conveniences that are insidiously destroying our world. They use up the earth"s precious resources, kill the wildlife and pollute our world.

 Rep. Loretta Sanchez says despite hard times she"ll push to maintain funding for anti-violence programs, which are needed even more during a recession. Fourth in a series on members of Congress who are advancing issues raised by the WeNews" Memo. WASHINGTON Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat from California who is one of Congress" staunchest anti-violence advocates, heads into the next session with her mind on money. Money, that is, for the Violence Against Women Act, which sets aside federal dollars to prevent violence, prosecute offenders and treat victims. Lawmakers have not yet agreed on funding levels for fiscal 2009 but will likely do so early this year.
