Your Humpday My Friday!

mexicans.jpegPicnik - This is for those of you who sometimes ask for a copy of Photoshop or want something really basic to edit pictures.  Its great for quick cropping and basic tweaks.  The best part is that it connects with your Flickr account.

Grant has some good pictures up of Spencers trip to Japan.

Word of advice - do not send the picture to your right to your hispanic coworkers no matter how funny you think it is. ;)

NPR has an article on overcrowded Russian orphanages.  Not very pleasant read but word needs to get out so change can take place.

“Healthy babies are lying in hospital beds all day as if they were sick, sometimes for months or longer,” Koloskov says. “They’re completely ignored. No one plays with them or provides any kind of stimulation. That happens because orphanages where they’re supposed to go after birth are full.”

Last winter, another patient in a central Russian hospital noticed a room of abandoned babies with their mouths taped shut to stop them from crying. Her cell phone video shocked the country when it was played on national television. Reports of babies tied down in their cots are common. Many believe that’s because hospital staff are seriously overworked.
