The following paragraph is summary of Russian Analyst that I heard speak on a news program: Russia will have a bigger presence in the Middle East as it's set to make active a base in Syria. Russian Analysts believe this is to stabilize tensions in the Middle East and if War were to break out to keep U.S out of it. Russia is capable of bringing a nuclear war to U.S so they'll have to think twice about getting involved. --------------------------------- WOW!!! Scary isn't it? Russia is being aggressive lately like how Putin said that U.S can't mess with Iran or else they'll step in.I got this from Link TV (Great channel .. Channel 375 on Direct tv) Mosaic News program.

and there will be no more oil in 10 years. They are only screwing themselves in the long run. Far from the truth on both accounts. Oil companies have invested heavily in alternate energy sources so when the time comes and the technology is made available, they will still be turning profits. Much of the meaningful research is being conducted in the private sector. Technology is available NOW!!! Oil companies are making mad profits so they will milk the cow dry.

It's really the whole world so it's kinda scary that even countries in South America are buying arms like never before. Hugo "Clown" Chavez is spending $$$$$ like crazy just like Brazil.

Russia will 'always respond' to new 'arms race': Putin so long ago... by Staff Writers Moscow (AFP) Feb 8, 2008 Russia will "always respond" to the challenges of a new "arms race" and is developing more high-tech weapons, President Vladmir Putin said Friday in a televised address. "There is a new turn in the arms race," Putin said. "Russia will always respond to this new challenge," he said, promising "new weapons that have the same characteristics, and in some cases better characteristics, as those being built by other countries."

I see nothing wrong here. China population is so large that socialism is a must. Socialism is never a must. Believe it or not ... It's necessarily for a nation like China to function well. Dude, we're talking about a nation with populations in the billions.

Good luck.

At some of the supermarkets in MA/RI (stop and shop) they have a new thing now where you hold a wireless scanner and scan and bag your groceries as you go. Then when you get to the cash register, you scan a bar code and pay the total. Ancient technology..

D.Wade is not his usual self. He is having a slow start after surgery. No one is better than Wade when he is in top form. You can't guard him. All you haters will be eating crow soon.

I do know that in jewish law, the only way a person is truly Jewish, is if theyre mom is jewish. Im just posting a fact with the gifted classes, and everything. In my class of 25, theres 2 jews including me. As of shabbat, I know many jews dont even know what day its on, but its not like I have a huge dinner or anything. Its a 3 minute little prayer Actually Jewish Law has always dictated that its the father, hence why Hebrew naming is always "Moshe ben Ezrael." Its a little known fact that gets lost in this system of popular belief that the mother has to be Jewish. And your point about Jews being 90% of the gifted classes is a product of the area you live in. Go to a gifted class in Cleveland, Georgia and see how many Jews are in there...maybe one if you're lucky. Ask any rabbi, and its the mother. And Im not sure, so dont hold me accountable for this, but I though Sepharadim Jews were just jews coming from Africa, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, India, etc. And Ashkenazim was from other parts of Europe. Not sure though and Im likely wrong Read this: When the Roman Legions overran the Jewish nation, much of the Jewish population was sent into exile throughout the Roman Empire. Many were sent to the IBERIAN peninsula. The area became known by the Hebrew word SEPHARD meaning "far away". The JEWS in SPAIN and PORTUGAL became known as SEPHARDIM or SEPHARDI, and those things associated with the SEPHARDIM including names, customs, genealogy and religious rites, became known as SEPHARDIC. Sephardic names were well developed in Aragon by the year 1213. (Note reference 22, below.) Many of the names were of Hebrew derivation. A much lesser number were composed of a first name and a geographic location, many times the result of conversion. The Jewish nation in Iberia, numbering approximately 750,000 in the year 1492, were banished from Spain by royal decree of Ferdinand and Isabella. (Ferdinand's grandmother was Jewish.) (For a description of the 1492 expulsion as written in 1495, see the link in Section IV, Lore) The Jews of Portugal, were banished by royal decree several years later. Relief from the banishment decrees and restoration of civil rights was promised to those Jews who remained and converted to Catholicism. These converts were called CONVERSOS or MARRANOS (converts or pigs in Spanish) and ANUSIM (forced ones in Hebrew). Some of the Jewish population converted in name only, other converted by choice. All of the Jews, whether those who left the country with their Jewish religious beliefs intact, and those that were converted are described as being SEPHARDIM or being of SEPHARDIC heritage. Many of the SEPHARDIM left Spain after conversion because life as a "new Christian" or Marrano was not as promised. "Clean Blood" laws were established to deny the "new Christian" the same civil rights as the "old Christian". Many left the Iberian peninsula where some reverted, and others did not. The converted population that remained under the influence of Spanish or Portuguese control or the control of countries heavily influenced by the Catholic Church could not openly revert to Judaism for fear of punishment inflicted by the inquisition. The punishment for reversion or secret adherence varied from humiliation to death by fire. Many Hispanics today practice Jewish customs without knowing the source. Many are still secret Jews. The names listed on this site have been identified as Sephardic by civil and religious records and creditable authors. These names have been used by Spanish and Portuguese Jews and conversos and many are found today, world wide in Hispanic and Sephardic communities and references. Some names may no longer exist in their old form. While not an expert in patronymics, some names, such as ABRAVANEL are unmistakably of Hebrew origin. Other names, such as IBN YAHIA, appear to be of Arabic origin. Still other names such as CASTRO and FRANCO appear to be of Hispanic origin, the vast majority of these names belonged to Jews at the time of expulsion. Still other names (conversion names or Christian names) were assigned to Jews at conversion, such as DE SEVILLA and SANTA MARIA. Many of these names were the family names of the Christian "sponsors". Many of the names have been changed in the course of migration from one country to another, such as Pena to Penha. Other names have incorporated a prefix such as D', Da, De, or Do, with the surname, so that D'Avila could be spelled DAVILA. Other names normally found with a prefix, may be listed with or without the prefix. For example, d' ANDRADE, da ANDRADE, de ANDRADE, may be listed as ANDRADE or ANDRADE 'D. The following prefixes may sometime be interchangeable; Aben, Ibn, Aven, Avin and Ben. These prefixes may be found separated or attached to the stem name. It would be prudent to search for names both with and without prefixes. One should check for variations in spelling. For example, the names Sejas, Cejas, Aceijas, Seixas, Aseixas, Acejas, Acezas, Asexas, Azeixas, and Xexas are considered variants of the same name. It should also be noted that many Sephardim who left the Iberian Peninsula and practiced Judaism, changed their names and used aliases to protect their families who remained in Spain and Portugal.

Christian I do not attend any church regularly or a member of any particular one .... I have attended several churches from different denominations (Baptist, charismatic, Seven day Adventist, Messianic) but I'm not bound to any particular one.

Dude .... It is obvious you that "it" factor while you're under the influence so try to be less sober as much as you can .

Fins need to Randy MOSS !!!!

I would much rather have Jimmy Johnson .....

I for one looking forward to MLS coming to S.Florida but it seem that it won't be right away. We will have to wait a few years after completion of the new stadium...

I like the MIAMI SHARKS name. The Miami Fusion, let's face it was an awful team name. And nothing personal to all the latin Americans here, but the team name SHOULD not be in Spanish. This is a USA professional league. BOCA MIAMI ? What the heck is that? Miami Mouth? I don't get it. Bad choice for a name. Picture the national media trying to figure it out. Miami United? Isnt there already a DC United team in MLS? SHARKS is awesome. Miami is an extension of S.America ... I like Atletico Miami ...

Kevin Jones SUCKED and Antonio Gates combined 3 points in my superbowl matchup... Thank god for my All-star kicker getting me 17 points.... You guys gotta pick up the kicker from the Packers. The guy is a baller...

I don't believe it for one second. Second rate journalists trying to make two different puzzle pieces fit together and to get the internet buzzing. I agree but Nick Saban is not exactly the most devoted man.

Saban agent allegedly contacted West Virginia for vacant HC position... Not on behalf of Saban though. Agents have more than one client a lot of times. Sources close to University President Mike Garrison have informed WBGV that Nick Saban?s agent has contacted WVU regarding our vacant head-coaching position. These sources tell us that Saban is extremely unhappy in Tuscaloosa and has failed to recapture the situation he had in Baton Rouge with LSU. The purpose of the agent?s call was to express initial interest in the position and to have WVU athletics put together a compensation package enough to lure Saban from Alabama. This package would not need to be as much as Saban is currently making at Alabama, but enough to not result in a 50% paycut. So, we?re obviously talking more than the $1.9 million former coach Rich Rodriguez was making. Again, this is all very preliminary, but solid sources have confirmed that Nick Saban?s agent has contacted West Virginia University. like I said allegedly on Saban behalf....

Thank you Tom Brady!!! The team that I faced in my Fantasy league super bowl had your boy as starting QB so you know who won the championship!!!

Oh please. The death penalty is a joke of a deterrent. Plus, rotting in prison for your life is far worse than a swift and mercy death like that. Is it really? I'm not in particular favorite of capital punishment but neither am I really opposed to it. I think being a life is far better than dead even under giving circumstances..
