Apostrophes in Baby Names for National Punctuation Day

Obama Fundraiser Back in Court; National Media Silent
2008-09-23 18:55:00 When asked during the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination about how money he had raised during his various campaigns from convicted felon Tony Rezko, Barack Obama “waffled and wafted” before guessing $10,000 or $15,000. The actual figure was $250,000. Guess Obama fears coming clean about his ties to this slumlord. He even toured his current ...

National Hunting and Fishing Day Open House at Beagle Wear
2008-09-23 02:57:00 Fishing and hunting are a big part of Vermont's heritage. For most native Vermonters, hunting is a tradition going back generations.

The regional radio station, WDEV, even broadcasts a few minutes each morning from a deer camp nearby once deer season opens. VT deer hunting season is coming in the near future and the timing of the National Hunting and Fishing Day is well placed.

When that happens I will take the home team and points every time.BDA- Thursday night special: Colorado +3 (250 pts)PS- About the Eva mendez pick.

The National Anthem of Qatar
2008-09-18 06:00:00 This is not our first post on the Qatar National Anthem - we have the tune of the anthem, with the lyrics below - but it is not very satifying not being able to listen to the words. So we have provided movies of the anthems below. The first one is not great quality, having being downloaded from YouTube, edited, and then uploaded again (and being recompressed) but we chose it because the sound was clear. The second was recorded by us at the recent world cup qualifying match between Bahrain and Qatar. As this was a totally original movie we were able to host it on Vimeo, which often provides better quality movies than YouTube.Qatar National Anthem at the Asian GamesThe National Anthem of Qatar at the Bahrain v.

National study finds post-traumatic stress disorder common among injured pa
2008-09-11 04:12:00 Suffering a traumatic injury can have serious and long-lasting implications for a patient?s mental health, according to the largest-ever U.S. study evaluating the impact of traumatic injury. Researchers from the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center, the University of Washington, and the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that post-traumatic stress disorder and depression were very common among patients assessed one year after suffering a serious injury. They also found that injured patients diagnosed with PTSD or depression were six times more likely to not have returned to work in the year following the injury. The study followed 2707 injured patients from 69 hospitals across the country, and found 20.7% had post-traumatic stress disorder and 6.6% had depression one year after the injury. Both disorders were independently associated with significant impairments across all functional outcomes: activities of daily living, health status, and the return ...

I witnessed first hand the shameful evil of racism. I saw how ignorance and prejudice caused people to do the unthinkable to people of color not so many years ago.So, I say with sincerity that I have great respect for Senator Obama's historic achievement to become his party's nominee -- not because of his color, but with indifference to it. Party or politics aside, we celebrate this milestone because it elevates our cou...

National Security Review Under China's New Anti-Monopoly Law
2008-08-29 23:48:00 By Steve Dickinson China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) recently reported on its plans for forming an interagency committee to review the national security impacts of foreign acquisitions of Chinese companies. Contrary to many of the news reports in both English and Chinese, this is not a new policy adopted by the NDRC. The formation of such a committee is consistent with longstanding China policy and it is required by law. China's Anti Monopoly Law (AML) became effective on August 1, 2008. Article 31 of the AML provides for national security review of foreign M&A transactions as follows: Article 31. If the merger with or acquisition of domestic enterprises by foreign investors or other forms of concentration involving foreign investors concerns national security, in addition to the review for concentration of undertakings in accordance with the provisions of this Law, it shall be examined for national security review in accordance with relevant regulat...

In a rage, Arnelle shoved O.J. violently into a glass cupboard in the kitchen. "O.J. hit the cupboard hard and the glass shattered all over him. He fell to the floor, bleeding," said the source.
