I'm in central NJ. It's 11:45PM and 90 degrees. We have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 2 month old son. Our power was out for nearly 2 hours and just came back on ... thankfully! We tried to cool off in the pool but the water was 88 degrees!

Are you experiencing a heat wave? Where are you located? Did you lose your power at any point? For how long?

People lost their homes, the Interstate Highway flooded and traffic stood still for hours. The Rio Grande rose over 9 feet. Check out the local news.

My son just went in to the 7th grade, he has severe developmental delays (mentally retarded), I was officially told on his IEP that he would never be able to get a high school diploma in the state of California. Just a certificate of completion. This has got to be a violation of the disability acts. My son's teacher told me that she agreed but she's required to notify me of this on the IEP. Anyone have thoughts on the subjuct?

My dad and I are sharing an account for reasons too long to explain, email me if you really want to know. I have SBC yahoo DSL, and when I sign out of my account to try to create a new email for my dad I cant do anything until I sign in, which of course opens my mail account. So, I want to make an e-amil account with someone other than yahoo. Originally the plan was for my dad, but now I think Im going to open one for myself and let my dad keep the old. I would like to have a Gmail account, but I guess the only way to get one is my invite. If anyone is willing, could you send me an invote? My email is ebony06@sbcglobal.net I would really appreciate it. Thank ya much.

Cuba’s 47-year nightmare is about to end with the death of the last of Latin America’s old time dictators. In the long run it is hard to see how the demise of the old caudillo can be anything but good news, but the short term will be rough. The U.S. has a plan but no doubt so do regional nuisances such as Hugo Chavez.

All day I have been whistling that song from the "Wizard of Oz". You, know, "ding-dong the witch is dead". Whether Castro sups with the devil tonight or not, his reign is clearly through. An eighty-year-old guy who probably pees in his pants and cannot remember what he talked about yesterday is already knocking on hell's door. How will he come back? His brother Raul has taken power.

Raul is known as the ruthless enforcer. He is the one who killed many of the regime's opponents. He lacks his brother's charisma, but may be a little more practical. He evidently advocated such radical capitalistic steps as allowing small farmers to sell produce at farmers' markets during the hard times when the regime lost its Soviet sugar daddy. But after Hugo Chavez stepped in with subsidies to take the place of the Soviets Fidel was able to kill (sometimes literally) the farmers' markets and roll back other reforms. One possible hope is that Raul will try to go the Chinese route when big brother is out of the picture. Ironic that the best case scenario would make Cuba only just a little more oppressive than China.

Beyond the geriatric Castro brothers, there is no heir apparent. The Castro boys killed, exiled or imprisoned any bright young man or woman with ambitions so Raul is what they get.

We have to remember that Cuba is not a democracy and not even as open a system as the latter day Soviet Union. The strength of a democracy is that it produces lots of leader and independent thinkers. Fidel's did not go for this sort of idea. He executed even ideological allies if he suspected them of disloyalty and his paranoia made him suspect everyone except his brother. (Those who know say "Fidel only praises the dead," many of whom he made that way.) That means Cuba has nobody accustomed to making decisions without asking Fidel first. Anyone with power derives it from a relationship with Fidel. When he is gone, so is that connection. The Cuban communist system will collapse, soon after he shuffles off this mortal coil. We need to be ready.

Cuba is a mess. Fidel really believed the Marxist-Leninist crap he was peddling. He opposed individualism, private enterprise, investments or any of the ordinary freedoms we take for granted. Cuba was more of a closed society than most E. European communist regimes under communism. We will find Cuba more like Albania than Poland or the Czech Republic. It is a long road ahead.

In 1959, Cuba was one of the most developed countries of Latin America. Now it is among the most backward. Most of the rest of Latin America shook off its dictators in the 1980s, but the Cuban socialist showboat managed to stay afloat, even listed a bit to the left. It will not be enough to get rid of Fidel and replace Havana's 1950s vintage automobile fleet. The world will be surprised at the abysmal poverty and corruption when people are free to visit and take pictures all over the island.

The added complication will be Cuban Americans. More than 10% of the Cuban population left the country soon after Fidel se up his socialist paradise on the Pearl of the Antilles. Others followed as soon as they learned to sail small boats or float in inner tubes. Most went to Florida. They were Cuba's best and brightest. Fidel kept their property, but their skills and intelligence were their real wealth. They took their human capital with them. In the U.S., where such things are valued, they were soon successful. They and their children are still interested in their country of origin. Some want to return. Expatriate skills and money will jump start Cuban development. A similar thing happened in Poland. The difference is that Cuban-American numbers are larger in comparison to the population of Cuba. Cubans in Cuba will probably come to resent these guys. There is a real possibility of a divided society, not only divided between haves and have nots, but also between skilled and skilled not.

Think of it like your rich and smart cousin who goes away to school at some nice place, while you stay at home and endure years of hardship. Then he comes back to tell you what to do. The worst part is that he is usually right.

So after Fidel has gone where the goblins go, below, below, below, expect a messy transition, but ultimately a successful one, this time w/o Myer Lansky (who it turns out was a less successful gangster than Fidel).

It's a real joke watching the american contingent asking for peace between Isreal and Lebanon when all George bush has done since he's been in office is wage war there and stir up trouble. Isreal is another american sponsored monster out of control.
