Please find time to check the website out: http://www.npower.org/. I recently interviewed for an Instructor position to teach computers to students coming from a a diffculty social as well as economic background. I will be writing extensively about my work ( 18 weeks) in the hopes of getting some advise and criticism about my approach.

[asset|aid=1084|format=image|formatter=asset|title=hacked.jpg|width=166|height=135|align=right|resizable=true]SoapBlox, a site that powers many progressive blogs, was hacked earlier this week. They took down four of their servers to minimize the spread of the damage, and the individual who ran SoapBlox declared defeat. (He’s since taken down the post, but you can still read the text at DailyKos.)

I don’t suggest reading most of the comments on that thread, but Karl-Thomas of Burnt Orange Report notes:

Color of Change is a wonderful organization for the protection of constitutional rights. Some of their past projects include a review of appointed justices and drawing attention to the Jena 6 injustices in Louisiana.

I feel particularly inspired to share this current effort with the YP4 community:

Well, it's been quite a ride the past few weeks. But now, the summit is over, and the dust has settled. So, I'd like to talk a little bit about what happened to youngpeoplefor.org. For those who don't know me, I'm the IT Project Manager for YP4. I write and test the code behind the software that powers the YP4 blog and the rest of our new MyYP4 system. If you were with us on the web prior to this month, you have hopefully have noticed a few changes on our site between then and now.
