News & Events - March 2007

Technically, it is winter. (As Spring does not officially start until March 21, the Vernal Equinox). So the old saying of "Spring ahead, fall back" no longer holds true. I know it is pretty close to Spring, but for us people who want to speak technically, we no longer have that mnemonic.

I've noticed for a while now that Fox UNDER reports anything negative to the Bush administration and spends hours on "tabloid" news.

FOX: 121 Anna Nicole, 10 Walter Reed
MSNBC: 96 Anna Nicole, 84 Walter Reed
CNN: 40 Anna Nicole, 53 Walter Reed

The video 'kemal gay turk' was charged with insulting the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. As I can not access YouTube from Turkey is there a link where I can download it ?

didnt appear,twice I asked it, in different ways,but both times I posted a link, so maybe this is why my question didnt show. It was a link for BBc news about a bloke in Edinburgh who savagely kicked and stomped on a dogs head so badly that the toddler he was with was sick.He then threw it in the car and drove off. What should happen to him if he gets caught?

Working in a hospital & taking care of medical equipment has proven to be a costly proposition. While some clocks would have changed themselves now with the advancement of the change you must do it manually or on some equipment put in a DST patch which is better than manual but can prove to be expensive depending on the type pf equipment & the vendor. You have monitoring equipment, Cat scans, X-Ray, MRI, Nuclear med defibulaters & everything else you can possibly think of. This is even worse than the overblown Y2K fiasco.

With the start of daylight saving's time being in the winter this year, there's no way to remember which way the clock goes! It used to be "Spring ahead (forward), fall behind (back)" Now that daylight saving's time starts in the winter, how are we going to remember?

I saw a clip online from The Insider (reported by Victoria Recano) about a 400 lb seven year old named Jessica who lives in Tennessee. Has anyone heard about her? What is her condition now? I was absolutely stunned when I saw the footage and want to know if she was able to loose any weight. Also, did the parents face any [legal] consequences?

I always check the news, and this year, past 6 months, seems every week or so some story about a pit bull mauling kids, chewing off toes, etc. Must have read atleast 8 events recently. More media attention or they attacking more so now?

William and Mary founded by Christians. Now decided in their finite PC minds that taking a cross out of chapel is wrong.

How did it come to this in the first place?

I saw this on Fox but no other network covers it.
But I did find this paper that did. Tell me again there is no media bias out there or that the majority of networks are anti-Christian.

I can't wait to see the defense of the people who thought taking a cross out is good.

Okay, I'm not sure if this made national news, or is still considered local. But the other day some fourteen year-old girl had vandilized a church, attempted to set it to fire, and in the parking lot, she spray-painted "House Of Wolves". And now, people are blaming My Chemical Romance for their song "House Of Wolves" saying it had an influence on her... or something. The song does mention religion, but I don't think some idiot derranged fan would do something like that and blame it on their favorite band. Although I don't think she made a statement or anything about the band, their music, or anything... But my friend told me today that they (MCR) made news about that.... This angers me. What do you guys think? If you can, try to preview the song somewhere or go to wikipedia and see if there's any reviews about the song. I try to understand song meanings as much as I can, especially the Black Parade... Anywhoo, opinions people! Should they blame MCR, satan, or some-one/thing else???

Another coward with a weapon...maybe we should start having psychological testing for people who need weapons(but don't hunt for food, or need it for work, such as law enforcement), just like the NASA employee who went off the deep end.

The technology for flying cars was here 50 years ago...in testing, it was found the average person was not competent in 3-d space, and it was cancelled.

Yet we place a gun in the hands of virtually ANYONE based on some contituional right when we still had to hunt for food. As a vet, I can tell you the only thing driving weapon sales is testosterone driven impluse, like buying a Hummer. JQ public can't wipe his/her rear end properly...they sure don't need a gun!
