another brave Journalist

Hi all,

found a story over on NHK world on another brave true journalist, putting her life on the line every day to get the real news out for the people. Her name is Assal Emad, a reporter from Iraq. Thanks NHK for this profile story.

sad news from SouKor regarding Roh

Hi all,

Sad news today from the ROK... he was a brave man that did alot of good, the possible bad should not let people forget the good, and the bad is just that, a possible and not proven!

I do hope that this news stops any UN-truths and slander that has attacked his name and his family for these past few years. Having been slandered by lies myself, I do not believe "Dante's" ideas will haunt him in the end, but who knows.

has the MSM lost its mind?! or is it just us?

Hi all,

What a story on what the media and I guess some in the public thinks on "pay" and other things in human life

link to story on plane crash in upstate NY a few weeks back and its investigation http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,520097,00.html

Again, like the Chy Co story and some other current stories right now in the media, I'm at a loss for words, and that's not a good thing for writing a blog

-z-

BTW, MSM is main stream media... thanks to the Internet, we can get our news and info from other places

hope she is free

Hi all,

Early news is the journalist Roxana Saberi was set free today.

transportation safty for all, we can help

Hi all,

I want to let you know about Michelle's Yeoh's project to bring attention to the unsafe roads in the developing world.

This is an important cause and topic, as the third world continues to develop and improve their transportation roads and infrastructure... it is important for them not to make the unsafe early mistakes the west made as we developed one hundred years ago. The lessons have been learned and it is up to us to help out and teach and share the lessons... good for us in both moral and business ways and good for the third world to move fast into clean and safe living.

safety for babies everywhere should be the goal

restaurant review two, yokohama japanese restaurant sushi bar

Hi all,

This weekend I was invited by my best friend and his fiance' in Brandon FLA to go with them and another nice couple to Yokohama Japanese Restaurant Sushi Bar in Brandon Florida. This family owned small restaurant is one of the best sushi places I've come across in my travels yet.

They were very busy (good sign) food was fresh and had many great flavors. Service was good and friendly, they were very busy, so a little bit slow, but totally worth the wait time and being as busy as they were totally understandable. Menu selection was extensive but not overwhelming or repetitive. Sushi rolls were a good size and portions overall were very nice and a great value overall.

If you are ever in this area, I recommend this place highly and many thinks to my friends and the restaurant for a nice time out.
