News & Events - October 2007

deciding that the survivors of Hurr Katrina, who by the way have not received the 2nd grant disbursment (it's been over 2 years!) and now we are told that too much money was allocated for the MS Gulf Coast and not enough for LA.

I understand more people know N.O. rather thank Biloxi, MS but the eye of the storm went through Waveland MS and Slidel LA, I was told by the NTL guard that for all practical purposes, the city of Waveland. MS is gone.
Now, we love N.O. and that's not an issue, The point is that it was a day after the storn that they levy's broke. The Army Corps of eng had been telling them they wouldn't hold since the 70's, the city and state gvmt took a big gamble and lost,
Don't you think that MS, where people are still, like N.O. living in FEMA trailors or half finished houses should be allowed the $ allocated to them through the generosity of other's and through the government?

Love N.O. don't get me wrong in fct i'm wearing my purple,gold, green mardi gras shirt

they are scared to print anything that might criticise Kate or Gerry in case they get hit with a law suit from the McCanns team of high priced lawyers.

"Lawyers for the McCanns will be monitoring British coverage of the latest Portuguese claims very closely and will take action if it's felt necessary."

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20071010/tuk-madeleine-sedative-claims-hurtful-6323e80_1.html

Are the Portuguese the only ones not afraid to ask the questions that need answering?

they are manipulating investigative reporting by lingering the threat of legal action over the newspapers! Does anyone else think it is wrong to filter the media coverage like this?

Are Christians victims of discrimination in the Jewish state? I know that many Jews see Christians as a threat and vehemently criticize the ideas of its origins i.e. Its messiah (Jesus) being Jewish.

Basically, I entered and left the journalism business at about the same time (ok, 1 year). The money wasn't good enough.

Two years later I have a good job but don't love it like I loved journalism. Is there a way I can be discovered if I write a sports column per day in a blog? (I'll be able to do that around my work schedule)

New World Order (Novus Ordo Mundi) refers to a conspiracy theory in which a powerful and secretive group is to be conspiring to eventually rule the world via an autonomous world government, which would replace sovereign states and other checks and balances in world power struggles. In new world order conspiracy theories, many significant occurrences are caused by a powerful secret group. Historical and current events are seen as steps in an on-going plot to rule the world primarily through a combination of political finance, social engineering, mind control[citation needed], and fear-based propaganda, in addition to alleged mass genocides of Christian sects[citation needed]. One of its early mentions was in the 1975 Gerald Ford's "Declaration of Interdependence" as recorded by historian Henry Steele Commager which states that: "we must join with others to bring forth a new world order....Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not be permitted to curtail that obligation" many also believe the war on terror is the platform for the new world order, as it was exactly ten years after George H. W. Bush spoke about the new world order on live television.

Forgive me if any of these details are wrong, but:
Flight 93 is the plane that was hijacked and aiming for somewhere major - Washington? - until some hero passengers challenged the hijackers and the plane consequently crashed in a field.
How did we deduce that this is what happened, and furthermore, how did we actually put names to the main passengers who helped? (there was one or two main guys - how do we know who they were and if this is so?)

No one can deny that television is a run-for-profit company, so doesn't it seem like a conflict of interest to trust them to make money, and tell us the truth about the world at the same time?

until the results of the forensic tests on the hair are made public before they decide whether or not to sue. If the tests can't show that Madeleine was sedated they will go ahead and sue. As it is, they don't know which way the ball will fall so they are waiting on their desicion. Otherwise, why the delay. If they knew for a fact that they hadn't drugged the children they wouldn't just be threatening to sue, they would have done it a long time ago. There is no reason not to sue immediately if they know for sure that they didn't sedate the children.

Damn! Back in my day, those that got picked only DREAMED about killing their tormentors (real or imagined)...what is it with these kids nowadays? Is it that weapons are more easily available? I don't think so...

Have 90's kids been raised so politically-correct that they didn't learn any tough-love lessons?

Or are they just pansies?
