15. We plan to get pregnant this year (Its about time! Well I need to take that Pole Dancing Lessons first before it happens).

The American founding fathers always believe that there should be a balance between the states and the federal government. After Obama pushes for more spending and federal power, a revolution may brewing amongst the states. If this happens, 35 states just need to sign in the virtue of the 10th Amendment and the federal government will be dissolved, so Obama will be no more the President. States like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana had promised to pass the bill and more states will likely to follow.Message to Mr. Obama: MR. OBAMA SOCIALISM WILL NEVER WORK IN AMERICA. YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT OWNED BY YOU BUT BY THE PEOPLE. I know this and I am an immigrant. And please, stop saying you won each time you feel like you are overwhelmed. You are truly weak and you should turn things around before its too late.

State Sovereignty Movement Quietly Growing

You may not have heard much about it, but there’s a quiet movement afoot to reassert state sovereignty and stop the uncontrolled expansion of federal government power. Almost half of the state legislatures are considering or have representatives preparing to introduce resolutions which reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and the idea that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states.

“”The powers delegated to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, [such] as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce. The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people.”

The founding fathers believed in a balance between state and federal power. This state sovereignty movement clearly arises from the belief that the balance of power has tilted too far and for too long in the direction of the federal government and that it’s time to restore that lose balance.

The emergence of this movement is a hopeful sign of the people asserting their rights and the rights of the states and finally crying “enough” to runaway government. With the threat of increasingly out of control federal spending, some of these sovereignty bills may stand a fair chance of passage in the coming year.

There’s a lot of excitement about these bills, but there are also a lot of misconceptions, with people claiming that some states have already declared sovereignty and that the movement is much farther along than it really is. Contrary to popular rumor, none of the states has actually enacted a sovereignty law yet. Some have come close. Oklahoma’s bill passed their lower house overwhelmingly but stalled in the Senate last fall and is being held over for consideration in the new year.

Contrary to the fantasies of some extremists, these sovereignty bills are not the first step towards secession or splitting up the union, nor are they an effort to block collection of the income tax, appealing though that might be. For the most part, they are not so much political statements of independence as they are expressions of fiscal authority directed specifically at the growing cost of unfunded mandates being placed upon the states by the federal government. Despite the movement picking up steam as he came to office, the target of these bills is not President Obama, but rather the Democrat-dominated Congress whose plans for massive bailouts and expanded social programs are likely to come at an enormous cost to the states.

It has become increasingly common for Congress to pass legislation which dictates policy to the states, but which comes without adequate federal funding and the expectation that the cost of these programs, which the states had no real say in approving, will come out of state budgets. This has been a long-term problem with Medicaid and Medicare, but the unfunded mandate which stirred up the most ire recently was the No Child Left Behind program. More concern has been raised with the recent reauthorization and expansion of the SCHIP program which has a history of requiring more expenditure than is provided for in the federal budget.

The text of the bill proposed in Arizona makes the clearest statement of the intent to block unfunded mandates:

“That this Resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.”

and

“That all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.”

What this movement is most similar to is the Nullification Crisis of 1832 where the State of South Carolina asserted that it had the right to nullify the authority of federal laws within its borders. In this case the states are not asserting anything as broad as the Doctrine of Nullification, but are merely reasserting the limits which the 10th Amendment places on federal authority, specifically as it applies to spending, the idea being that they don’t have to pay for federal mandates if their legislators choose not to.

Not all of the bills fall within these limitations. Missouri’s bill actually goes somewhat further and does assert the right fo the state to negate federal law, specifically in reference to the proposed federal Freedom of Choice Act, which some fear would bar states from passing laws regulating abortion. New Hampshire’s bill actually goes so far as to lay out a very strongly worded variant of the Doctrine of Nullifcation which specifies acts by the federal government (many of them currently being proposed in Congress) which would effectively negate the Constitution and the authority of the federal government within their state. Hawaii’s proposed sovereignty bill comes very close to being an actual act of secession, based on native tribal rights.

As things stand right now it looks like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana will all definitely consider sovereignty bills this year. They may be joined by Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania where legislators have pledged to introduce similar bills. Twenty states standing up to the federal government and demanding a return to constitutional principles is a great start, but it remains to be seen whether legislatures and governors are brave enough or angry enough to follow through. As the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress push for more expansion of federal power and spending that may help provide the motivation needed for the sovereignty movement to take off.

This essay is my Final Project for my Com 150 Class. I chose this topic because I have great fascination about space exploration;  Hope you guys will enjoy reading!  

     “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” is the famous line spoken by Neil Armstrong, the first man to ascend to the moon on July 20, 1969. His words proved to be accurate, as the evolution of space technology is one of the advancements that changed the way people live. Among the most important contributions of space technology to humankind is in medical sciences. Breast cancer research is one of the many medical aspects that benefit from space exploration technology. An examination of advancements in technology will reveal that space exploration has led to advances in breast cancer research.

     Www.historychannel.com (2005) says space exploration dates back as early as 2nd century AD, when an imaginary voyage to the moon was written by the Greek satirist Lucian. As a result, revolutionary ideas about space travel ensued. Aside from scientific theories about space, literature contributed as well in instilling the dream for humankind to conquer space. Works such as “War of the Worlds” and “The First Man on the Moon” by HG Wells and “From the Earth to the Moon” by Jules Verne provided unwavering inspiration for humankind between the 1800’s and 1900’s to decipher the mysteries of space and universe. However, it was not until John F. Kennedy was sworn into office as the United States’ President, that the American people were genuinely challenged to explore space. In 1961, Kennedy spoke to a Joint Session of Congress, expressing his goal of landing a man on the moon. He was very eager for the United States to lead the way in the space race with the help of NASA.

     The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established in 1958 and has since accomplished many immense scientific feats in aerospace technology. NASA is the United States government’s agency that is responsible for the country’s space exploration program. Established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, its aim is partially to respond to the Soviet Union’s launch of the first artificial satellite the previous year (www.nasa.gov, 2008). The agency piloted major space missions and programs including the Mercury Program between 1953 and 1963 which was the first U.S. crewed program, the Gemini Program from 1963 and 1966, and the Apollo Program from 1961 and 1972 which successfully took the first human to the moon. These programs were followed by further space explorations. Presently, NASA is engaged in the International Space Station which is so far the most complex international scientific project in history and represents a move of unprecedented scale off Earth (NASA Facts, 1999). The US led coalition project assembled a research laboratory in space; its members include Russia, Japan, Canada, 11 European countries and Brazil.

     These explorations ushered in a new era of innovations, inventions and discoveries that were useful in executing the programs, and at the same time yielded conveniences to humankind. Semi-conductors for computer technology improved speed, lowered power requirements and reduced size and memory. Households benefit from security systems, smoke detectors, flat panel televisions, quartz crystal timing equipments, cellular phones, blue tooth wireless and water purification system. Fire resistant materials, use of solar energy, sewage treatment, air purification, pollution measuring devices and earthquake detection were important advancements to environment preservation and management. Doppler radar for storm warnings, radiation hazard detectors, portable GPS navigation system and innovative auto designs improved public safety. One of the most vital contributions of space exploration technology to humankind is in the medical sciences. The website for Boeing (2008) states that CATScan and MRI technologies are used today in hospitals around the world to search the human body for tumors and other abnormalities; they were originally developed to computer enhance pictures of the Moon for the Apollo program.

     Among of the most important benefits of medicine from space technology is in the search for the prevention and cure of breast cancer. According to Susan G. Komen for Cure 2007 Breast Cancer Fact Sheet, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women, except for skin cancer and accounts for more than 1 in 4 cancers diagnosed in women in the United States. The disease not only affects the victims but those who are close to them, including family and friends. The American Cancer Society (2007) described breast cancer as a malignant tumor that starts from cells of the breast which may invade surrounding tissues and spread to the distant organs. They also reported that although this disease occurs almost entirely to women, even men can be prone to breast cancer. Research indicates that diet and healthy lifestyle can help prevent breast cancer. The consensus among scientists is that a huge number of cases, about 90 per cent, are caused by a person’s lifestyle. By eating the right foods, women can dramatically reduce the risk of developing the disease (Harvie, 2006). Experts contend that women who are overweight have increased chances of acquiring breast cancer due to higher estrogen and insulin levels. Overweight women should loose weight through regular exercise and eating natural food rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E as well as calcium and selenium will help reduce the risk. These vitamins and minerals are found in vegetables like cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. Intake of supplements is, however, discouraged by experts. They say there is no quick fix in preventing the cancer.

     The specter of breast cancer begets anxiety in women and their families not only in the United States, but all over the world. Auspiciously, medical science and other concerned organizations have been continuing their search for early prevention, swift diagnosis and effective cure. As space technology and innovations flourish so does the research on how to triumph over the disease.

     Space technology has immense significance in the diagnosis and cure of breast cancer. Medical equipment such as Mammograms that use x-rays to examine breasts was further improved by installing solar cell sensors that minimize radiation exposure to the patients. Another important discovery is the “Smart Probe” that locates suspicious tissue, predicts how the disease would spread and determines immediate diagnosis. Bluck and Goodkind (1998) pointed out that a NASA-Stanford team was developing this smart probe that can be used for breast cancer detection and analysis. Treatment involving microwaves was originally developed at MIT in the late 1980s as a tool for missile detection (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007). As reported by Allyson Collins (2008), a News Office Correspondent of Tech Talk, the MIT paper, “Treating breast cancer with a type of heat therapy derived from MIT radar research can significantly increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy.” University

     Space technology has provided hope and better ways to manage breast cancer. Advancements from this technology have led to a faster and easier diagnosis and treatment of the disease through the proper dissemination of information to the public. The American Cancer Society released a report that from 2001 to 2004, cases of breast cancer decreased among white women by 3.7%. This is being attributed to inexpensive mammograms. There are no known statistics to show that breast cancer is curable despite the advancements. This is a major leap from how the disease was viewed decades ago.

     There are many returns in space investment. For every dollar the United States spends on its programs for research and development, seven dollars come back as personal and corporate income taxes in the form of more jobs created and economic growth (McArdle, et al., 2006). The government has proposed a budget of $17.6 billion dollars for fiscal year 2009, a 1.8% increase over the 2008 budget (Roberts, 2008). Current missions are focused on environment, climate changes of the Earth and digital imaging through the use of satellites in planet exploration.  

     Clearly, there are more possibilities for human innovations particularly in the advancement of breast cancer research as long as space exploration continues. Scientists are now using NASA Bioreactors to culture breast cells on Earth to learn what controls the growth of both healthy and malignant breast tissues through a special incubator designed to grow tissue samples in space (Dooling and Richmond, 1998).  Findings from this experiment are expected to increase the quality of healthcare for women on earth and space. While humankind continues to explore and conquer space, they are building the channels to a more civilized society and possibly the cure for breast cancer. 

      One might conclude that explorers, scientists and science have done more than expected in working hard to find preventions and cures of breast cancer. Looking at the big picture, space technology has indeed been a huge instrument not only in medicine but to humankind as a whole. There is more to be discovered and improvements to be made. Can medical science eradicatebreast cancer as technology changes and improves? This question is yet to be resolved. In the meantime, humankind can hope for and anticipate more possibilities and doors to be opened. Decades from now, the dissertation that an examination of advancements in technology will reveal that space exploration has led to advances in breast cancer research will still be valid. Undoubtedly, the technology that is not known today will be operational in the coming years when the visage of breast cancer will be different from today.

Gird your loins, conservatives

There is no time to lick wounds, point fingers, and wallow in post-election mud.

I’m getting a lot of moan-y, sad-face “What do we do now, Michelle?” e-mails.

What do we do now? We do what we’ve always done.

We stand up for our principles, as we always have — through Democrat administrations and Republican administrations, in bear markets or bull markets, in peacetime and wartime.

We stay positive and focused.

We keep the faith.

We do not apologize for our beliefs. We do not re-brand them, re-form them, or relinquish them. We defend them.

We pay respect to the office of the presidency. We count our blessings and recommit ourselves to our constitutional republic.

We gird our loins, to borrow a phrase from our Vice President-elect.

We lock and load our ideological ammunition.

We fight.

***

First assignment for fiscal conservatives in Washington:

1) Oppose the Democrats’ next stimulus boondoggle.
2) Oppose Obama’s windfall profits tax proposal.
3) Oppose new bailouts for states deep in debt.
4) Oppose new foreclosure prevention measures that will simply provide perverse incentives for borrowers to walk away and delay a needed market correction.
5) No more federal loan guarantees for corporations (especially in light of this.

Tomorrow, the nation of the free will elect a new leader. It has been a chaotic and controversial campaign for both sides. Two days before the election, a 2004 San Francisco newspaper (the least expected) leaked an audio-video of Obama saying that he will bankrupt the coal industry, a big scandal that would mean closing the major companies that support jobs in the Midwest. Then, Zeituni Onyango, Barrack Obama’s aunt was found living in Boston government housing. She is poor; is said to be living here in the US illegally because she defied an immigration judge’s deportation order. Obama denied any knowledge of his aunt’s immigration status. She also donated almost $300 to Obama’s campaign which they said they will return because Aunti Zeituni, who Obama regard so highly in his memoir, “Dreams of my Father”, is a foreign national. It is illegal for a candidate to accept campaign funds from non-US Citizens which many people think that Obama has been guilty of anyways. Obama raised a whooping $600,000,000!

I may be accused of favoring the Republican candidate, John McCain. I have issues with his policies particularly, in immigration. However, I am totally against and condemning Obama’s far left views. America is a nation of freedom and free market economy. This is the way it should be and would be. People have equal opportunity and chances; they should not be altered by trying to close down private companies and have the people work for the government for free, taxing the middle and upper class, so that these people who works for the government and not paying taxes will receive a check on the mail.

Obama is said to win in tomorrow’s election. People believe him when he says, “He will change the world!” He maybe the messiah to his followers and to those who don’t know him. But he will shake down the foundation of what America really is-a place for opportunity for everyone whose in search for a better life no matter where they come from. If he wins, I welcome it as a good and bad news. Good news because we will keep watch on him and see how he made promises and how he didn’t care to keep them. Bad news because there will be no accounting in the government for the next two-four years, with Pelosi and Reid in the Congress. America will be in deep sh*t. I can imagine that it will be a welcome news to people who hate this country.

Tomorrow will be another page in the history of the world. Will Obama “change” the world or just the color of the American President? I will bet for the later. In the meantime, I watch the spectacle.

(Obama’s granny, Madelyn Dunham succumb to cancer today, 5:00am Eastern. May God bless her soul.)

is that she hasn’t had an abortion.”-SC Dem Chair

???? Why can’t Dems just shut their mouth up! They are deemed to loose the election because of their relentless attack on Palin. Each time they make unfounded critizism, the loose a vote.

1. There was a backlash against US Weekly because of thier biased story about Palin just last week.

2. Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews got axed from MSNBC because, again of their biased reporting against the Reps.

3. Oprah backlash by the GOP viewers has started because of her outright refusal to invite Palin as a guest to her show when Barrack and Michelle Obama appeared before Obama annouced his candidacy. Oprah is an Obama supporter.

4. Candice Bergman ( Murphy Brown) Matt Damon and The Angry Lesbian, Rosie O’Donnell bashed Palin.

6. A**h8le British VMA Host, Russel Brand not only endorsed Obama (when he is not an American) but called Palin, VILF. What a dumba@@!!!

5. Yesterday, Obama made a “lipstick on a pig” comment that I personally think is not an attack to Palin, however was recieved as such, because Palin originated the phrase, “lipstick on a pitbull…”

I can’t believe I am seeing how the Dems’s ship is sinking slowly….which ofcourse, for me is a good thing….

PALIN ROCKS!!! Mc Cain…. ( not thinking about his immigration policy) Go Mc Cain!

It’s such a wonder to think how many people are still hurrying home from work or school and find the time to fix healthy and fresh meal for themselves. More and more prepared and frozen meals are appearing everyday at the grocery store. No matter how anyone do their math, the price to cook a home style meal is way less than buying frozen ones from the supermarket. But people are all for the convenience. Oven, microwave and stove top heating consume less time and hassle for any busy person.

Fast food places are also an easy way for anyone to fill their hunger. But like prepared entrees and meals, the types of foods available from these sources are usually with poor nutrition and they tend to make the people develop an unhealthy habit of eating. Obesity and hypertension due to elevated body cholesterol are only two of the bad effects of eating fast food.

A person doesn’t have to be a chef or attend school to learn how to cook Home Style meals. These are the kind of skills that are passed on generation to generation, within the family. But with the onset of fast-paced culture, anyone can just now heat and eat their food, while others go on with what they do. As a result, there is less opportunity to spend quality with the family. Indeed, fast-paced culture has put aside the possibility of keeping Home Style cooking a tradition in every home. The only possible ways these days for families to enjoy home cooked meals are during holidays and some special occasions.

People had begun to manage their time to counter the culture that has contributed in changing the way people eat. They are able to plan and enjoy more activities, and that can include the time to stay in the kitchen and learn or hone their Home Style cooking skills.

There are so many benefits anyone can get from mastering the skills. Aside from being able to serve themselves hearty meals, it saves them some money. They can also decide what additives they want, and not want to include in their meals. Being able to manage the contents of what they eat is actually a great benefit of having cooking skills. It helps people and their love ones on strict diets, especially for medical reasons.

A parent or both parents can also turn the cooking experience an activity for the whole family. They can involve the kids from shopping for groceries, preparing the ingredients, cooking the meals, to making the table for the family. In the dinner table a family can exercise bonding while eating together the food they helped each other to prepare. Not only that, children are able to learn how to cook for themselves.

Even a couple with no children can reap the benefits of mastering Home Style cooking skills. In my personal experience, I am able to use all of the available meat and produce goods that I find in our refrigerator. Once a month, my husband and I would buy everything fresh that we can get and store them. Vegetables and fruits have longer shelf life than before, since we store them in Debbie Meyer Green Bags. I also didn’t need to bring a recipe book with me to plan what I can cook for both of us on a day to day basis because I had gotten used to cooking Home Style meals. I can tell what we need in a month to keep our stomach filled, and am able to have a mind inventory of our spice rack and basic ingredients like milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and etc. We still go out and eat once a week. It is my break from working in the kitchen every day. But when I am not well enough to cook, my husband does the job for both of us. He is very skillful in Italian Dishes.

They say that Home Style cooking skills are slowly fading. But I believe that with the health awareness and economic situation that the country is in, anyone can find the opportunity and the will to begin to learn. Keeping a cookbook handy can be a good start.  As a child, my first lessons were brewed coffee, friend eggs and steamed rice. But now, I can prepare Italian, Asian and Southern Home Style meals. All I did was to cook each time I had the opportunity and before I knew it, I am a highly skilled cook.

I thought I would share this interesting thoughts and questions of my dear friend Marlo at facebook. Something we might all think about for a moment and maybe… shrug our shoulders with:

just asking…

1. are we slave to the internet? or just exploring the freedom that the web is giving us?

2.when will the oil price will stabilize in the world market? or it will continue to rise until political force will intervene?

3. I am thinking of taking up MBA this june, is it worth it?

4. when will the network war ends? I have classmates on both sides…

5. when will myspace will change its setting since I think we are on a laltino default, which really pissed me off?

^LOL! Well, my friend, since you asked me, here is what I think:

1. No, we are not internet slaves, the power of convenience just sinked into our system, esp that fuel has been surging up. What used to be an alternative to slow post mail has revolutionized into something even better. In my case, I do my work online, shop and even my dream wedding happened because of internet. We used to get in line in the back just to check if we got paid for the period and internet banking not only helped us eliminate the hassle, we are able to pay our bills online as well. I spend probably more than 50% of my time online everyday. My life is better this way than realizing way b ack then that I have spend the rest of my day for a job or a few to get done.

2. It is apparent that OPEC  and Global Warming per se is the culprit of oil price. OPEC refuses to produce more oil to sustain the global demand and come to think of it: In my beloved state of

About the Global Warming hype, the state of CA will implement a stupid law in a few years that would charge consumer 25 cents for every plastic or paper bag that they use for grocery shopping. The lawmakers in CA say this will help solve the problem of the GW and make the people of CA concern about the effects of Global Warming. In a few years, people of the world would be levied with GW taxes, thus increasing gas prices again. Marlo, if Obama wouldn’t win the election, I would not be surprised if he make money like Gore selling lies. And oh, did you notice how he flip-flop over the issue of

3. Anything that would enhance your knowledge and education is worth everything! In fact and like I said I will take up Accountancy. I am just waiting for the evaluation of my TOR by

4. Network wars… hmmm… I think is all about pride and who stands the best in the eyes of the Filipino. In fact I find their clash very unhealthy…. But if you ask me which I prefer, its GM7. Kasi nung umuwi ako, they are not into sedation. ABS I think are very irresponsible with their reporting and practices media bias over the government. ABS-CBN (Alto Broadcasting System-Communist Broadcasting Network)

5. I hardly visit my myspace page. Coz, yeah you are right, most of the members are Mexicans and other Latinos. One time I saw a page there promoting MS13. Thats when I thought, the network is not for me. Siguro, ganun lang talaga. myspace tries to cater to their major audience; like friendster is to Asians (love friendster too!) and facebook are for young professionals.

Unang blog ko na tagalog ito kaya medyo gagawing ko na hindi pormal.

Kanina, nagsimula ako sa panibago kong trabaho… Pangalawang Guro ng mga makukulit na bata. Sabi ko sa asawa ko, nakakaloka na nung mas bata pa ako, hindi ko iniisip na magturo sa mga bata. Ngayon, binasahan ko sila ng kwento, nakikanta at nakipaglaro. Syempre, kasama run ang reprimand sa mga bata.

Nasanay kasi ako na nakikipag usap ako sa mga tao na mature, Ika nga kung hindi mo ka-level, yung meron kayong professional rapport. Napagtanto ko na nararapat kong matutunan ang linguahe nila at ang “hindi” ay hindi. At ang lalong nakaka loka, ang klase na nahawakan ko ang pinaka magulo; mga tatlong taong gulang!

Sa ngayon dalawa ang paborito ko sa kanila. Si Travis na saksakan ng kulit at pangalawang drama king pero malambing. Unang araw ko at lagging gusto ay karga ko at pa akap-akap pa. Pangalawa ay si Arjey, nag iisang batang Asyano sa klase. Naku, hindi nakikipaglaro, pero lagging gusto ay malapit sa musika. Mahusay sa puzzle at sa edad nya at marunong nang bumasa ng alpabetong Ingles! Bah…. limang taong gulang ako nung matutong bumasa at dahil tinuruan ako ni Kuya Orly na ngayon ay nasa langit na.

Bukas, ay panibagong klase na naman. Pero sa totoo lang, naisip ko, bat ba di ko na niisip na mag apply sa trabahong yun? Paano ba naman, ang pinagkakakitaan ko ay bilang isang Customer Care Associate at tagagawa ng pahina ng webpages n gaming website. Sa totoo lang, magandang pakinggan, pero yung buong shift nakaupo sa harap ng computer ay talagang torture ika nga.

Tatagal kaya ako bilang guro sa pre-school? Siguro naman… tingan natin…
