I thought it was an interesting decision yesterday for C.C. to come out and discuss his contract for what he says will be the one and only time in the 2008 season. One would think that the local media up here in Cleveland are going to want to grill him about it, so I would [...]

After my endorsement last week of Hillary Rodham Clinton, I was criticized (rightfully) for not going into the issues enough about why I support Clinton.Clinton and Obama’s policies have very little differences. It some of the finer details on foreign policy I have concerns with.Anyway, here are my doubts about Obama in full:• His position on Iraq (would he pull out too many troops too soon?)• His foreign policy (would he really sit down with foreign leaders his first year in office face to face?)• Will he be able to stand up to Republican attacks?• Will he be able to stand up to rising world powers: Russia, China, and Iran who will take advantage of him if he shows the slightest sign of weakness?• Will he bring in too many new people? (New people are not necessarily what we need; we need to keep some of the same people who learned first hand our mistakes in Iraq and Afghanistan.)Of course, I have plenty of doubts about Clinton as well:• Her electability• Her decisivene

I have been thinking about the importance of voting in elections for the right president. After dealing with the incompetent Bush administration it makes me realize how important it is to vote. If we had a different president would we have the loss of jobs, no money for schools, the war and even the attack of 911. I guess no one knows those answers for sure but it does make me think what if we had another president would life be different right now. What surprises me is that George W Bush was elected in the first place then selected again for a second term. I don’t hate George W Bush as person but I dislike him as President. I think he should be impeached but I know that will not happen with elections around the corner. The individuals who had a bad influence on him for most or all of the bad decisions made are Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. The George W Bush administration is one the worst we ever had in the United States at least in my short lifetime. - My Blog on Jimmy Carter St

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Agriculture negotiations in the World Trade Organization's Doha round are slowly moving forward, but serious divisions remain on surge protections and goods that will be sheltered from tariff cuts, a senior U.S. trade official said on Wednesday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was too soon to count on a meeting by late March of trade ministers from the WTO's 150 member nations, as some had envisioned, a step that would consolidate over six years of fractious talks and produce, at last, a close-to-final deal. While negotiations among trade bureaucrats in recent months have helped narrow differences, the official said, major obstacles remain. Those include, from the U.S. perspective, the quantity of products that each developing and developed country would be allowed to shelter from full tariff cuts, along with special surge protections for developing countries. Washington has long argued, in spite of loud protests from emerging marke

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The government on Friday announced the sale of two market stabilisation bonds worth 60 billion rupees, to be auctioned on Jan. 23. It also issued special bonds to state-run oil companies for 112.57 billion rupees to partially compensate them for selling fuel at discounted prices. Ministers are due to meet on Saturday to discuss a possible rise in retail prices of fuels. India routinely issues bonds to oil companies to offset their losses incurred by selling fuel at below market rates.

So I really didn’t get a lot done with my projects and websites. The reason is I have been watching the DVDs from The Secret Classroom by Joel Comm. I have watched a total of 4 DVDs so far and there was a lot of information from one and one was just rushed information, which I was kind of mad. Let me tell you everyone likes to tell stories and Joel’s camera and audio team has technical difficulties.
The second and third DVD had crazy audio issues, since my TV is hooked up to a nice entertainment system and I have speakers on my walls, the acoustics were just bad. For example The main audio should be coming from my front speakers, for the most part it did until about 45 minutes in it switched to my side speakers. WTF! I thought it was my entertainment system and I checked and rechecked until it switched back to the front speakers, I came to the conclusion it was not my entertainment system and it was the audio of the DVD.

Cindy posted a tough blog entry today about what happened at her house last night. Had I chosen to, the night before I could have blogged about something that happened at our house that made Bart angrier than I have ever seen him.But what Cindy points out is the absolute most evil part of this journey as adoptive parents. We are expected to take the brunt of years of furious anger that is bottled inside small but growing larger bodies. We attempt to calmly redirect them, we listen to them cuss us out, feel them punch and kick us, and are expected to emotionally be stable, not react, not show our anger.And when we can't take it any more, we know that we have to find a safe place to talk about that anger and pain. Because if we talk to the wrong person, we could be investigated, we could watch as our kids are taken way like other families have done, we could be blamed, criticized, ostracized and talked about.And so often we hide our pain. We process our anger with our kids and spous

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian judge on Monday issued arrest warrants for 140 Latin Americans suspected of involvement in a coordinated persecution of leftists and dissidents by Latin America's military rulers in the 1970s, Italian news agencies said. Almost all of those on the list are living in Latin America and a number are already in custody there as part of investigations into the conspiracy known as "Plan Condor". One man, Nestor Jorge Fernandez Troccoli, a former member of the Uruguayan secret services, was arrested in southern Italy, the Ansa and Agi news agencies reported. The warrants involve Argentines, Bolivians, Brazilians, Chileans, Paraguayans and Peruvians. They are suspected of complicity in the deaths of 25 Italian citizens killed in Latin American by military regimes in the 1970s, the news agencies reported. Under Italian law, Italian magistrates can investigate the killings of Italian citizens overseas. It was not clear if the action taken agains

The voting system is very error filled with problems by way of machines and technology that it does worry me with authenticity of the outcome of the vote. What I cannot figure out one of the most important things in the United States is voting but not every state has the same voting method. I think every state should have the same voting system it should be a law or a requirement that every place votes using the same system or method. In my common sense mind why is it even different in each state in the first place. This is such an important issue there has to be a good way of voting that will make it legitimate and error free with a respectable result that will be respected by everyone. Voting affects both parties in so many important ways with all the problems with the last elections that democrats and republicans would want come up with some kind of solution. Like always nothing ever seems to get done especially something as important as this. This makes me nervous with the fact can

Food Banks across America are facing a potential crisis as Thanksgiving arrives and millions of Americans seek help feeding their families.

This week has been pretty stressful for me academically. Remember the post I made about my course? From monday up to saturday, I was on the library studying my operating room procedures, principles and practices. We had our long test on friday and saturday and I slept late at night pretty late only to wake up in the morning facing the fact that I have to be on the same routine again.This brings me to a controversial question. . . Where do teens get their persistence to study?I can relate to people who drop out of school because of this stress but hey, thats not an option for me. I have to get good grades for my transcript, my children in the future and most of all, to myself. This only happens once in our life so why not get through it like everybody does? Its just a matter of mind setting.

I was studying over my lessons earlier and i was a bit surprised to see people over the living room. It turns out, they are here to have the "black rosary" and i didnt have much choice, i went down and joined them. This wasnt enough bother to me until they asked me to say the third glorious mystery of the rosary and this was the point i started to shiver: I had my last rosary when i was still in high school! I didnt know what to do!The story doesnt stop there, as the prayer went on, a leader proceeded and all the others responded; this continued for what seemed like eternity and before i knew it, it was my turn to lead! Darn! The feeling was horrible! I dont know if this was just about my nervousness or something else but I FORGOT THE THE HAIL MARY! God, if you ever experience a shameful event in your precious life, you can relate with me. The old woman beside me whos face i never seen before kept on dictating whats nest and all that.

Last month it has surfaced that actor Owen Wilson tried to commit suicide but now he is doing fine with recovering. My thoughts about this I have nothing bad to say I like him very much as an actor and I feel that he has a great heart. He is actually one of my favorite actors he has been in some of my best loved movies that always make me smile and laugh in his movies. However, what this shows us all is that we are all human we all have our issues to go through in life. Everyone is human even movie stars no matter if we are rich or poor we all go through struggles in life. I think there is hidden epidemic with many people dealing with depression issues including myself. Owen Wilson is not alone in dealing with depression many people worldwide deal with those issues every day we all the same. - Movies Owen Wilson - Books Suicide Depression
