    Nobody is above the law commented Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar about the Anwar Ibrahim Sodomy case.   So using the new logic that "if you have nothing to hide, you should be as cooperative as possible", Najib might as well make an official declaration.   As a matter of fact there are now 2 or even 3 statuary [...]

As the price of gold has taken some lumps since it crashed into the symbolically significant $1,000 per ounce mark back in March, those on Wall Street who had consistently underplayed its potential on its way up are now assuring its continued retreat. According to these gold market spectators, prices have risen solely as a result of financial panic, and now that the fear has apparently subsided, g

Each of these women has an illness—lupus, breast cancer, bipolar disorder—she wouldn’t admit to anyone … until now.“She has cancer,” I told my 14-year-old, who wondered why one of her teachers had not returned to work for the new school year.“Will she be OK?” she asked.“Well, no,” I said. “She may not live much longer.” I’d just learned that the teacher had been sick for a year and had kept her condition from everyone but a few colleagues. This sudden and devastating news, which spread quickly through the school’s network of mothers and was followed up in a poignant letter from the school soon thereafter, had hit like an emotional atomic blast. No one knew. No one even suspected.“I understand she’s sick,” my daughter said, “but why would she want to hide

Although we all know that an online consultation may not be such a great idea in case of a serious illness, most patients would do it if their doctors agreed. Unfortunately, the majority of doctors avoid providing email advice because of hackers, The Detroit News today informs. Although all the other industries had an impressive evolution in the online markets, doctors have a series of fears which keep them away from the Internet connections. Beside hackers, doctors are afraid that sending advice online isn't a secure activity because they may not receive the money for the consultation they give on the web.

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

These violent teens are partly responsible for the rise in knife- and gun-related crime in the...(read more)

Developers afraid to break new ground by NY Real Deal - snip:Projects starting up in '08 will be rare, developers say. Lenders looking for a reason to call in defaults? Banks showing up at closings without any money? Fire sales on newly built condos? These are just some of the grim realities that New York City developers are dealing with in this less forgiving economic terrain. Developers interviewed for The Real Deal's Q & A offered up blunt assessments on lending standards to their novice counterparts ("they are done"). In addition to the stories of lenders searching for reasons to call in defaults, banks pulling out of deals they have already offered letters of intent for, and planned projects that will not see shovels hit the ground, developers said projects slated to start up in

While there, I had to wait. A beautiful sunny Friday in Georgia it was. I was in a good mood because I had just secured painters to do the spot I had selected for my dog store.

I think we have all been on IR Blogs and seen the comment "why don't white men ever approach me ?" or "white men need to step up more." I would really like to examine what the problem is. Many times what happens is the discussion will be taken off course with conversations about white male privilege and all that white men will lose if they date or marry a Black Woman. Personally, I don't have the tolerance for that particular argument because all I can think of is let's discuss what he has to GAIN....that would be Joy Unspeakable. Also, the old favorite "white supremacy" comes into play where someone digs up their dead ancestors and beats everybody over the head with them. Therefore, we end up in these circular discussions that do little more than sharpen debating skills and that

A letter from KimI am 51 years old, and was raised as a Protestant. I "converted" to Catholicism when I got married for the second time 22 years ago. I always felt guilty because I didn't get much out of going to mass. A lot of it seemed very redundant. Very recently, I have been questioning my faith. Not a very comfortable feeling. I am terrified to admit that if I don't believe in a higher being, I will for sure be thrown into the fires of Hell!I am terribly CONFUSED and afraid. I consider myself a kind and compassionate person (I work as a patient care technician in a Catholic hospital!), and just because I am questioning whether or not God exists doesn't mean I should be condemned for eternity! I don't dare to talk to my husband about these feelings because his faith in God is v

They want you to think that you need to learn the complex details or you will fail. They want you to think that there is so much that goes into it, that you'd be a fool to not put your faith in them. They want you to think that your success depends on their knowledge and tools. They want you to think that their advice will make "all the difference".

. . . unless you're Nintendo. Yesterday, Greenpeace released the latest version of the Guide to Greener Electronics. Samsung and Toshiba tied for first place with a score of 7.7/10, while Nintendo dominated last place with a pathetic 0.3/10, yes less than a whole point. As you may recall, Nintendo did not fare too well when GintheF had reported on Greenpeace's Clash of the Consoles. Strike two.What makes Samsung and Toshiba greener than the rest? Grading criteria is based on many many factors but some of the biggies include PVC and BFR phaseouts, product takeback, chemical management, and information given to customers.What I didn't realize right away is that Greenpeace is claiming that despite a wide range of scores, none of these electronics companies are truely green yet.

This is most especially true if you would approach your bank or any other traditional financial institution.
