Within a year, if Moshe Kai Cavalin keeps up his grades and completes the rest of his requirements, he hopes to transfer from his two-year program at East Los Angeles College to a prestigious four-year school and study astrophysics.
Holy smokes! The article claims his parents don’t push him much, but this quote from the father with respect to the son recently breaking an arm in the pursuit of martial arts makes me wonder:“Finals are coming and everything and he cannot play with both hands. He’ll just try to play with the right hand,” he says. “I don’t know how his grade’s going to be in piano. It worries me a bit.”
“He’ll be horrified after learning it was delivered by plane. Paul has always campaigned for green issues and he can’t understand why anyone would send an enormous car from Japan to Britain on a plane.”
Carbon offsetting firm CO2balance.com said the plane journey would have caused a carbon footprint of 38,050kg, compared to 397kg for a three-week boat journey.
A carbon footprint is the measure of the impact that human activity has on the environment and is measured in units of carbon dioxide.
Co2balance.com Director Mike Rigby said: “That is the equivalent of driving the car around the world six times.”
A spokesman for Swissport, the freight handling company who unloaded the car at Heathrow, said: “Obviously we were happy for the business but everyone was shocked. The carbon footprint must be enormous.”
Paddy Gillett of the anti-aviation lobby group Plane Stupid, said: “For anyone to pretend that a private limousine is in any way eco-friendly is like pretending a private jet is. It’s total greenwash.”
Earlier this year, neurosurgeon Andres Lozano published a startling finding. He was testing deep-brain stimulation, in which electrical current is delivered directly to the brain, as a treatment for obesity. The patient’s weight showed little change, but his memory improved significantly. Lozano has now formed a company to commercialize the technique as an Alzheimer’s therapy, and he’s testing it in six patients in the early stages of the disease.
Obama’s language is derived from those corners of the left that claim Hezbollah is only interested in winning the Shia a larger share of the political process. Never mind the guns, it’s essentially a social welfare movement, with schools and clinics! – and its own foreign policy, intelligence services and terror apparatus, used at the regional, international and now domestic level. But the solution, says, Obama, channeling the man he fired for talking to Hamas, is diplomacy.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah is surging in Lebanon. Good thing those UN weapons sanctions worked so well. I actually met a French army officer assigned as UN overseer last summer and he assured me, despite everything I was reading, that the situation was well under control.
Bill Roggio reports: Sadrist bloc buckles, agrees to let Iraqi Army in Sadr City
After over six weeks of heavy fighting in and around the Mahdi Army stronghold Sadr City, where Mahdi Army forces took lopsided casualties in the fighting, the government and the Sadrist political bloc has signed an agreement to end the fighting. The agreement will allow for the Iraqi military to operate freely inside Sadr City while the Mahdi Army must halt its fighting.
This is just in from Sen. Coburn’s office. Obama has authored a bill, and it is now in the Senate, to give the UN .7% of our GNP to be used to feed hungry 3rd worlders, AND to use UN force to disarm you and me and all gun owners.
