Once again they neglect to mention the method that gives a 100% guarantee that there will be no infection - ABSTINENCE...and then you and your spouse having sex only with each other for life.
It's "old fashioned", many people say, but it works.

Well, if he had run all of his races without slowing down, it would have reduced his earnings. As it stands he got US$60,000 for winning and US$100,000 for breaking a record.

This site on the IAAF website gives a breakdown of the race every 20m. Awesome. http://berlin.iaaf.org/mm/document/competitions/competition/05/30/83/20090817081546httppostedfilewch09m100final_13529.pdf

On the east coast of Canada last year over a period of several months there were at least 8 or 9 human feet that washed up on shore, some in sneakers. Hopefully, this isn't the beginning of a similar sequence of events.

If the majority of people in a society wants to satisfy their unnatural desires, it does not mean that it is right. If a society is full of anger and everyone wants to express their anger by hurting and killing others, it doesn't make it the right thing to do. They need to find a way to deal with their inner problem, and yes, it is a problem. In the same way, homosexuals and lesbians need to find a way to deal with their problem and not try to make it accepted.

Since this crash happened several hours ago, the EU has already made a call to have a global blacklist of airlines without even waiting for information about the possible cause of the crash (even though the weather was bad in the area). I wonder why they weren't so quick to respond like this after the Air France crash. It is just one example of double-standards shown by so called "developed" regions such as the EU.

maybe they don't want to cause optimism and release too much info to the public until they verify for themselves that it is from the black box.

New reports are saying that none of the debris recovered so far was from the plane and probably are from another source.

What I want to know is whether or not players have are entitled to give interviews to the reporters who sometimes ask silly questions and put focus on their training plans. Don't the players have the need to train in private without their opponents being privy to their every move?

Lest there is the accusation that it's only natural for a country's media to focus on their fellow countrymen's acheivements, I come from a country where a round-up of sports items are regularly given for sports in other countries, even if there are none of our nationals playing.

Oh, I just remembered 2 years ago they were covering one of the golf tournaments in the US and Tiger was in the play-off about to make a putt that would win the match. He stepped up to the ball and was about to swing when they went for a commercial break! They have no sense of what is important to viewers, or maybe they just don't care.

Agree totally with the article about it being a waste giving media passes to japanese media. They don't really care to give results of competitions once the japanese players fall out.
