...camera has been a consumer reality. (My first copy came bundled with a scanner over a decade ago.) When the cheaper Photoshop Elements hit the market about five years ago, I was relieved: all of the really complicated stuff was gone, leaving the more intuitive tools I use to clean up - or totally mangle - a photo. Photoshop Elements 5.0 has new editing features, but I won?t dwell on them, except to say that the program is still tops. What Photoshop Elements now provides, with vast improvement over earlier versions, is a nice way to organize and share pictures...
...there is more going on here than meets the eye--and the American people play a key role in the story. The merry-go-round is not just a simple piece of playground equipment. It's a PlayPump water system. Lack of access to clean water is one of Africa's biggest health challenges. Through technology developed by an African entrepreneur, the children are pumping clean water for their village when they turn the merry-go-round...
Last week we announced a partnership with the U.S. government and the Case Foundation to install 4,000 water pumps in 10 African nations, bringing clean water to as many as 10 million people.

In partnership with Starbucks and the government of Rwanda, the U.S. supports farmers developing specialty coffee. The U.S. helps rebuild the country's infrastructure and coffee-washing stations, while Starbucks provides training and expertise to improve...

There, I learned that everyone else in the back of the humvee had survived, though Jenks had serious leg wounds, Beverly had knee and hand injuries and Nachtwey had taken shrapnel in his knees and abdomen. The next morning, a middle-aged nurse with blond highlights approached...
...tossed and turned in the early hours of Independence Day, the simple truth of the psychologist's words hit me. It was true: I was mad at myself for failing to pull off a clean sweep. And it was that anger that was preventing me from savoring the achievement of a lifetime: saving my own skin and that of three others. My failure to get rid of the grenade before it exploded was only the first in a long list of wrongs I would have to pardon before I could finally put the ordeal behind...
