			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Censorship can be a very dirty word. People in America tend to want to know the truth about our world and what’s in it. That’s why some are worried when we heard about the Italian judges who found three Google executives responsible for a video. The video contained images of an autistic child being bullied by his classmates. </p>
<p>Google says that it was unaware of the content of the video and took it down after complaints were heard. The whole incident leads to a question of whether Google is responsible for the information on its site and whether or not they will have to start censoring material. I hope this won’t be the case and free speech is allowed to reign. </p>

So I wanted to give a shout out to Clay. He doesn&#8217;t write all that often, but then, neither do I. So it&#8217;s all good.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great news for the “Who Dat” nation. The New Orleans Saints have won their first Super Bowl victory by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. After getting off to a slow start, the Saints rallied to win the game convincingly. Heroes of the game include their quarterback Drew Brees and their field goal kicker Garrett Hartley who kicked a record setting three 40+ yard field goals. </p>
<p>There is little need to describe the party after the game on Bourbon Street. Folks throughout Louisiana celebrated well into the night. There will be a parade on Tuesday and expect the party to be massive. I say congratulations to the Saints on their victory.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a meteorite lands on the earth, it becomes the property of whoever’s land it lands on. This has already been established by courts in the U.S. Such was the case of a local landlord where a meteorite fell in Virginia. The landowner has declared his intention to sell the rock to the highest bidder at auction. These rocks can be worth thousands of dollars and are collected avidly by collectors.</p>
<p>Meteorites can also be donated to the National Museum of Natural History that houses the world’s largest collection of space rocks. I think that is the most rightful place that these rocks could end up. Allowing the public to view these relics of the birth of space is only fair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1849, the famous poet Edger Allen Poe died in a Baltimore tavern. He was known for such works as “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”. Poe was buried at the Westminster Hall and Buying Ground in Baltimore. That’s where the tradition comes in.</p>
<p>Every year since around 1949, a mysterious figure in black dress, white scarf, and wide brimmed hat would leave a half empty bottle of cognac and three roses on the stone that marks his grave. The problem is that this year, the person did not show and has left people who are interested in this mystery bewildered. Many believe the person responsible for this long time tradition was a man named David Franks who died last week. </p>
<p>While the tradition is in jeopardy, there is hope that someone new will pick up the torch and continue to honor the great poet far into the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were all sorry to hear about the recent earthquake that devastated the country of Haiti. I was glad to find though that help is on the way to these people who are in desperate need of help. Agencies and organizations from all over the world are joining together and sending aid to the country. I am proud of the efforts by individual citizens of the United States that have given money to the relief effort. </p>
<p>I hope that everyone will continue to give the funds necessary to help rebuild the country as well as provide relief for the people who need it the worst. It’s hard to believe that such basic items such as water can save the lives of thousands of people. I pray that every citizen of Haiti will be able to overcome this tragedy.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I am reaching a certain age, I have begun to find that my body is not always up to the challenges that I would like to think I am still capable of. While I do take care of myself and am physically fit, I have found that I am not as young as I used to be. That’s why I have begun considering whether or not to <a href="http://www.ukmedix.com/viagra/">buy Viagra</a>. It seems like I am admitting that I am getting old and I am not comfortable talking about it with my doctor.</p>
<p>I looked around online and found that I am not the only one who may need help with their love life. There are plenty of other people who suffer from the same condition as I. One person that I would have never thought would be in this position was <a href="http://www.theinsider.com/news/745749_Enrique_Iglesias_Needs_Viagra">Enrique Iglesias</a>. It turns out that he doesn’t care if people know of his position on the subject.</p>
<p>Another star that I never would imagine having to use this medicine was <a href="http://www.ivillage.com/simon-cowell-not-rep-viagra-0/1-a-27438">Simon Cowell</a>. It turns out that the popular host of the show American Idol was recently offered a large amount of money to endorse the product. While he turned down the endorsement, I do wonder whether or not he is still using the product! I guess I’ll have to make my own decision on whether or not to seek help with my problem, but it sure is nice knowing that I am not alone!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The country of China recently announced that it will eliminate restrictions on using foreign parts for its windmills. The effort to develop its own domestic power has led to the need to find assistance from foreign companies. The Chinese hope to expand their wind power industry in order to bolster their domestic power programs.</p>
<p>The Chinese are using power at an amazing rate. They are the fastest growing economic power in the world and need all the electricity they can get. I am glad that they are trying to find cleaner ways to produce the power they need. I am sure that it will help reduce the greenhouse gases that they are producing. I hope that China will continue to reach out to the rest of the world for answers to its power needs!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One popular show that I do like to watch on TV is American Idol. I like to see all the people who try out for the show and are especially terrible. I love to hear people who think they can sing but really can’t! The show has been a favorite of mine for years but it seems that it will soon take a turn.</p>
<p>Popular show host Simon Cowell is retiring from the show next year. He will be moving on to host and produce his own British show “The X Factor”. There is much debate on who will replace the star of the show and it will be interesting to see who gets the job. As for me, I just hope the show goes on!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My niece Athena is a darling little girl. She recently graduated from college and has married a fine young fellow named Dan. They seem to be very happy together and they remind me of when I was first starting out in life. The two of them are now located in California where Dan is trying to break into the computer field. He has found employment with a major company and is looking to settle down.</p>
<p>Their latest efforts have included the need to find housing until Dan is settled in with his new job. They have looked into finding one of the best <a href="http://www.apartmentguide.com/apartments/California/San-Francisco/">San Francisco apartments</a> to stay in while they decide their future. They wanted to be comfortable where they live and have all the amenities that are due to them. They are very particular about where they want to live.</p>
<p>Dan is mostly concerned with the proximity to his job. He does not want to have a long commute to work everyday. Athena has other concerns about whether or not the apartments have a pool or fitness center. She also plans on having a pet someday and so that is also a consideration. I am sure that they will be able to find the perfect place for them. At that age and time, I am sure that just being together will be more than enough for them!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a rare thing when someone finds a true treasure. It happened recently when the Very Rev. David M. O’Connell found one. After becoming the Catholic University president, he found a picture in his bathroom that is reported to be a Rembrandt. The etching turned out to be created by the famous 17th century artist Rembrandt Van Rijn. </p>
<p>While the jury is still out on whether the picture is an original, it could still be worth thousands of dollars. The painting will soon be reviewed by appraisers to see whether or not it is authentic. I hope the world will gain another great work from this exceedingly talented man!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was sorry to hear about the deadly earthquake that hit the country of Haiti this week. It turns out that no one really knows the amount of people who were killed or wounded and authorities fear that the number may be as high as 500,00. The magnitude 7.0 quake flattened houses, schools, and government buildings without regard to who was inside or out. </p>
<p>The International Red Cross is hurrying aid to the people and is asking for emergency donations from everyone to help the victims. I plan to send in a check tonight and hope that everyone else will do so as well. In the meantime, I hope that everyone will send up some prayers for the people who are suffering!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since last year was pretty much an economic disaster for many people around the country, I decided to take a few steps to improve my own financial situation. Starting with the New Year, I have made a resolution to improve the way I handle my money and find ways to save the money I do have. One expense that I thought I could lower was<a href="http://www.21st.com"> car insurance</a>. My current rate seems a bit high and so I am looking into going with another company to provide it. It would be nice to shave a few bucks off that bill!</p>
<p>Another thing I have done was to investigate other options. I was lucky to run across a nice little article online that has <a href="http://www.dumblittleman.com/2008/01/30-easy-ways-to-save-money-and-no-you.html">30 Ways to Save Money</a>. There were a lot of interesting tidbits of information on the page and they helped remind me of some of the bad practices I had gotten into. It’s amazing how we can waste so much money on little things that don’t seem to cost much!</p>
<p>I was talking with my sister about the situation and she reminded me of another way to save. She told me how she had been using <a href="http://www.offers.com/">coupon codes</a> from the internet to save money. I checked it out and found that I had missed a lot of opportunities to save money over the past year. I am serious about not letting that happen to me again. I hope that everyone will have the foresight to become more conscious of how we spend our money. I am sure that if you try, you’ll find a few things yourself!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that we’ve been hearing about is the Chinese who are sending us items that contain a high amount of lead. Since our government has taken control and outlawed the substance being used in the items we buy all the time (Children’s Toys) the Chinese have ceased using the dangerous metal. The problem is that they have switched from lead to Cadmium.</p>
<p>Cadmium is just as deadly as Lead. It is a toxic substance that can slow the development of learning and can shorten a person’s life. Since the ban on lead, experts have noticed an increase in the use of Cadmium in toys manufactured in China. I hope that China will soon realize that America is serious about protecting our children’s health. I call for the end of the use of Cadmium in children’s toys!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year’s holiday season has been very busy for us. We were able to accommodate all our family and guests at our blowout dinner. It seems that every member of the family dropped by at some point, and they are still coming strong. The best part is that we still have this weekend to celebrate until we all have to go back to work. Even so, it’s been a wonderful few days off and I am ready to face the world again!</p>
