Ron Reagan Supports Stem Cell Research Why Cant Bush

prochoice.org: "Recent pleas to allow full funding for stem-cell research touched the hearts and minds of many lawmakers in Congress. 58 senators - representing both political parties, asked President Bush to rethink his policy for funding stem-cell research. Which would allow embryonic stem cell research to be funded with federal dollars. President Bush still stubbornly refuses to change his policy. In - 2001, President Bush banned funding for research on all new embryonic stem-cell lines. Scientists report that very few of the existing stem-cell lines are useful for research or even available to scientists. As a result, Bushs policy has shackled development of new treatments for diseases such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, cancer, and diabetes. Click on this link to ask Bush to allow this research."

I really don't understand why Bush is so against this research,they have already proved the skin sample and things they use to do this are never human babies Read it and tell me?

Cave of John the Baptist

The Times-News Online ;"KIBBUTZ TZUBA, Israel -- Archaeologists think they've found a cave where John the Baptist baptized many of his followers -- basing their theory on thousands of shards from ritual jugs, a stone used for foot cleansing and wall carvings telling the story of the biblical preacher. Only a few artifacts linked to New Testament figures have ever been found in the Holy Land, and the cave is potentially a major discovery in biblical archaeology. John, a distant relative of Jesus -- their mothers were kin, according to the Bible -- was a fiery preacher with a message of repentance and a considerable following. Tradition says he was born in the village of Ein Kerem, which today is part of modern Jerusalem. Just 2.5 miles away, on the land of Kibbutz Tzuba, a communal farm, the cave lies hidden in a limestone hill -- 24 yards long, four yards deep and four yards wide. It was carved by the Israelites in the Iron Age, sometime between 800 B.C. and 500 B.C, the scientists said. Over the centuries, the cave filled with mud and sediment, leaving only a tiny opening that was hidden by trees and bushes. The explorers uncovered 28 steps leading to the bottom of the cave. Near the end of the stairs, the team found an oval stone with a foot-shaped indentation -- about a shoe size 11. Just above, a soapdish-like niche apparently held ritual oil that would flow through a small channel onto the believer's right foot.On the water-covered floor of the cave, stones and boulders were moved aside by the worshippers and a middle path was filled with gravel. Crude images were carved on the walls, near the ceiling, they tell the story of John's life. One is the figure of the man. The man appears to have an unruly head of hair and wears a tunic with dots, apparently meant to suggest an animal hide. He grasps a staff and holds up his other hand in a gesture of proclamation. On the opposite wall is a carving of a face that could be meant to symbolize John's severed head. The preacher had his head cut off by Herod Antipas after he dared take the ruler to task over an illicit affair"
I love reading about things like this, wish I had money to just travel to see things from the past and their findings.

KPVI morning anchorman greets day with a smile

Idaho State Journal; "Watching morning anchorman Javier Soto crack jokes, can't help but wonder ... is Soto mainlining coffee or is he naturally like this? According to Soto, no caffeine is involved. All that hyperactivity and joviality come with the package. Originally hired as a reporter/photographer for KPVI two years ago, Soto worked his way through the newsroom to become "the smiling anchor for the highest rated morning show, he's grateful to NewsChannel 6 for allowing him to do news the way he knows best ... "with a smile and a laugh at the end." "The person you see on TV is the same person you meet out in the streets," he says. "Life is beautiful. More people should enjoy it." To read more about this guy click on both links on page or the link here; KPVI's page on Javier

I will tell you this is one funny guy, He's like the little-kid that never grew-up, he's a small man which makes him even cuter. You never know what hes is going to do next on TV-live, I look forward to watching him .

Birthright of American People

Idaho State Journal: "Dissent is a birthright of America. People have come to this nation seeking freedom. People have fought and died for this nation and its freedoms. That freedom is more than the freedom to agree with the policies and personalities of the party in power, Republican or Democrat. America was born of dissent against rule by George III. Early politics was filled with much more vitriol than we see today. Jefferson was called the Anti-Christ, Adams was labeled a warmonger with ambitions of kingship, and a partisan newspaper of the day termed the common sewer of all filth in the state. In later years, presidential candidates were tarred with claims about fathering bastards, mental disease and morals that would do credit to Satan. It is the same today. And when the ballots are counted in November, the losing side will complain that the voters were swayed by the demagoguery of the other side. They will say that had the people known the facts and made their choices based on those facts, the results would have changed. Why not give people the chance to know those facts now, when it will make a difference? Instead of making rabid attacks on the other side, why not look for the facts about the upcoming election. Who can be afraid of the truth: The person who knows his position is supported by reality or the person who fears the voting public will find out what is really going on? Let us rely less on an advocate's ability to shout louder and spin harder and rely more on objective facts. Let us seek out reliable sources whose facts we check out instead of simply and blindly accepting them. Finally, let us be accountable for the government we have. It is, after all, a government of the people, by the people and for the people."

I don't think I need to say anything to this. Because this writer said it all,I agree, We do have the right to make up our own minds don't let no-one tell you other wise.

The law applies to babies .It is designed to protect children and women who are afraid of prosecution or being questioned and condemned. These things don't have to happen, there were people in the community who would have taken her."

This story is a sad one, I remember this day well my daughter's friend lived in this apt. blding. Which is only 2-blks from the High School and a half a-mile from my home.

We hope to have speakers spread out to the numerous marches and rallies showing opposition to this horrible war. To do this however we need funds.

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Sen.Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a speech urging the delegates to support Kerry on the grounds that there are probably worse candidates,and adding. I am definitely available for 2008.

Employees' Pay to Performance

Washington Post: "Group Backs Tying Employees' Pay to Performance, With Reservations. A coalition of 30 professional and managerial associations has endorsed the goal of more closely linking the pay of federal employees to how well they do their jobs. In a five-page paper released yesterday, the Coalition for Effective Change announced support for an overhaul of federal compensation, including the possibility of moving white-collar employees off the 15-grade General Schedule, which dates back to 1949, and into pay systems that give agencies more discretion in setting salaries,the coalition said employees who are performing in a satisfactory manner should receive,the minimum,those who don't!- won't."

Think it's about time we start paying all these White-collar workers and government position holders for what work they do. How many times have you went into a office and you needed help for something and they were chatting with a co-worker and ect., and made you wait. Or you had to wait on them to complete some paper-work you gave them because they didn't feel it was a big deal to hurry it in.

Life was almost certainly a picnic -- all the time:To maintain a high growth rate, these animals would have to eat a lot.' An adult T. rex would have had a five-foot-long skull and 50 teeth. Six-member team that used seasonal rings in T. rex bones to determine the legendary carnivorous rate of growth ultimate teenage growth spurt.Bones from seven of the world's 30 known T. rex specimens, including the Field Museum's own Sue, to determine how fast body mass increased at various ages. They found that T. rex weighed about a ton at 13 but about a year later embarked on a four-year growth binge, to reach about 4.5 tons by age 18, after which it began to level off to an adult weight of around about six tons by 20.

How would you like to have one of these for a pet...LOL

Martha Stewart's Plea Letter To The Judge

The Smoking Gun: "This is the letter Martha Stewart wrote to the federal judge who sentenced her today to five months in jail and five months under house arrest. Stating that she was "abysmally confused and ill prepared for...The next step in this process," Stewart told Judge Miriam Cedarbaum that, while she planned to appeal the jury verdict, "I am dreadfully sorry that the perception of my conduct has caused my family, my friends and especially my beloved company so much damage." Stewart closed by informing Cedarbaum that, "my hopes that my life will not be completely destroyed lie entirely in your hands."

Here is a women who has spent years being self-centered in her life,and now, she is begging for some one to feel sorry for her.

Go to my other two articles on Cassie Jones and read them and see what she got for just telling a witness "to get out of her way and touching her arm" she got 10 yrs. And she is 19yr.and a mother too. So I don't want to hear about, how poor Martha got the shaft. Sorry for the anger mode here click on the link above and read the letter she wrote to the judge and tell me what you think, also go read the other story's about Witness intim. & petition for cassie, and tell me who you think got the short end of the stick..Thanks

Death duty in forgotten corner of war

MSNBC;"Word spread fast. News passed fast in low voices, quiet conversations. No one wants to say it loudly. The Marines heard it and looked away. Their faces hardened. They swore. What else was there to say but goddammit. Man, was killed by a roadside bomb, set off by someone who was watching a U.S. Marine foot patrol finish its work. A half-hour later, another also was killed. But to the men here, this is a forgotten war. . The world hears what happens here only in a faint whispers. Isolated the men live packed bunk to bunk, they guard one another's backs, they depend on the group to help ward off fear and loneliness. And they face losses in their own searingly personal way. When one man is killed, the rest are asked to go back where he died, to face the same danger, in the name of duty. They do it, they say, for a country that expects it of them. You don't hear the blast. It doesn't register. It happens so fast. You see a ball of fire, black smoke, then shrapnel, dirt, trees and branches flying. You feel the heat. Then its over and someone dies... A half-hour later, the men heard the blast of another roadside bomb about a mile away man down, but, still alive. A Black Hawk helicopter on the way, Two men began mouth-to-mouth. For each breath they gave, they got a mouthful of blood. They took turns, vomiting between their efforts. The young man's eyes were glazed, heart stopped, life drained from the gaping wounds in his sides. He was dead before the helicopter landed.. The sun rises. The war goes on. Patrols go out. It's sad what you get accustomed to. Unfortunately, the routine just goes on. You feel guilty, but that's how it is."
I read this had to post it, not to be morbid. But to have truly make people see and read what really happens when our men/women go to war for us, some of you may read this and say I already know this and so do they I know we as well as them know its a war but.. It breaks my heart as a mother and human-being to know that we send our young people to something as cruel as this. I'm sorry many of you may not agree with me but I hate Wars!! Some of you may also say we go to war to protect our counrty.... Well how is men/women dieing helping our country....You Tell Me!!

PeoplePC-News: "'Insider' "In New York, they drool over pictures of steamed pork buns from a dim sum restaurant in Chinatown. And in Los Angeles, they joke about how the leavings of police cavalry might make Hollywood's streets smell even worse. Locally focused group 'metro' blogs - compilations of events, reflections, recommendations, news and complaints - are emerging to put a number of big cities in intimate, street-level relief. We're kind of that friend of yours that always knows what's happening in the city. Many blogs focus one area, some bloggers are making a profit just writing full time and selling add spots."
Still -a * New-be to the blooggin - World. * But feel... It's becoming the News-paper of the busy person, on the run today. Just about everything in one paper to read.

People need to understand,when your upset to this point of arguing, one of you needs to leave before the situation turns violent. It gives both of you a chance to cool off."
To many times we see something just like this in our own back yard,and what I don't understand is the sad part is these women just keep going back out of love but because they have been beating so far down by their mate they believe this is normally do want to make some thing clear this is not a crime that only happens to women - Men are abused every day in our towns too!! But men are afraid to speak up out of shame,thinking they are not a man if a women can beat them. Not true!! Only some one in pain would do this to others, We as caring humans need to stop this behavior that's gone on since time began..
