ARETHA SAYS SHE IS FINE
Just wanted to write this correction straight from Aretha. Aretha says she is fine and will reschedule her tour. She says she is housebound for 2 more weeks - then she will spend some time at the beach - maybe Hilton Head.
Thanks Aretha!!

CHOWCHILLA HITS BOTTOM AND DEFAULTS ON LOANS
Chowchilla defaults on bond payment for new government building. As Chowchilla heads towards bankruptcy, the city promises to dig into reserves to pay missed payment with penalty fees. Years of neglect by state officials, including then State Senator Denham have led to the pitiful state of financial affairs.

NEW CONGRESS OFF TO BAD START
I don't feel great about this "new" Congress - looks like the same "old boys club " to me. Jeff Denham has been given the job of frat party thrower and fundraiser. Hence, on the day BEFORE he even gets into office, he throws a $2,500 a plate dinner at a luxury hotel in D.C.. I guess the economy is doing very well after all.
Next Boehner starts crying repeatedly. He is like an old depressed drunk. In fact, he has around eleven brothers and sisters. His sister said, “John is a little man and he has a big job ahead of him." With family confidence like that, it is no wonder Boehner started the, "my gavel is bigger than yours" contest. Yes, it sounds like a penile problem to me too. In fact, as Boehner was waving his gavel around with great pride about its size, the gavel began to resemble a "penis analogy" to me. Let the frat party begin.
Next these guys, getting high salaries, decide to read the Constitution aloud on the House floor. Maybe these guys should have been reading the Constitution instead of partying, drinking and womanizing at the lavish party the night before. Yes, we got to pay to hear these inept congressmen read the Constitution aloud. It was sad to hear some of the congressional members stumble over the words. That reading exercise cost us citizens around a million dollars or more...our tax money.
The Republicans said the only idea they had for reducing federal spending was to cut the congressional budget. Later, it was revealed that actually the congressional budget would be too hard to cut, so the reduction will be greatly reduced and the congressional party can continue.
Boehner said first job, as Speaker of the House, is to repeal health care reform legislation. The Congressional Budget Office says that will cost over $230 billion dollars with the investments already made - plus the Senate will not pass the repeal bill, so it is a waste of time and money - but a good show for gullible Republicans. On a news interview show when Boehner was asked what he planned to cut to reduce federal spending as promised during the campaign, Boehner said, in spite of all of his years in the House, he "had no specific ideas."

BOTTLED WATER A HEALTH HAZARD - TELL THE
KIDS AND SAVE BIG TIME
TELL KIDS BOTTLED WATER NOT BETTER THAN TAP WATER AND SAVE MONEY
Schools sell bottled water to kids - around $1 a day - and
the costs add up for families. Kids feel because the water is sold that the
bottled water is BETTER - NOT TRUE!!!! School administrators don't care and
continue to allow this message to be given on a daily basis. Tell kids in your
communities the truth about bottled water. Also, the water sold at schools is
often kept at varying temperatures (unrecorded) and for varying lengths of time
(unrecorded). These storage conditions can make the water even worse with higher
bacterial counts. These elevated levels of bacteria can increase oral bacterial
count and increase cavities and gum disease.
Here is an article on
BOTTLED WATER from the web:
How much do you know about the bottled water
you drink? Not nearly enough, according toa new report released today from Environmental Working
Group (EWG)."Bottled water companies try hard to hide information you
might find troubling," says Jane Houlihan, senior vice president of research for
the Washington D.C.-based research and advocacy group.
EWG analyzed the
labels of 173 unique bottled water products and company websites to determine if
companies disclose information on where water comes from, how or if their water
is treated, and whether the results of purity testing are revealed. The
nonprofit also looked at how effective (and advanced) any water treatment
methods are. Researchers followed up by calling dozens of bottled water
companies to find out which ones willingly tell consumers what's in their
bottles.
The Environmental Protection Agency says on its website that
consumers have the right to know where their water comes from and what's in it
so they can "make informed choices that affect the health of themselves and
their families." Tap water is regularly tested and consumers can find their local water info
online. That's not necessarily the case with bottled water, which is
not required to disclose that information to consumers. "Bottled water is a food
product and every one of these companies is complying with federal law,"says Tom
Lauria, of the International Bottled Water Association.
More than half of the
bottled water products surveyed failed EWG's transparency test --18 percent
didn't say where their water comes from, and another 32 percent did not disclose
any information on treatment or purity of water.
Only three brands earned the
highest possible marks for disclosing information and using the most advanced
treatment methods available- Gerber Pure Purified Water,
Nestle PureLife Purified Water, and Penta
Ultra-PurifiedWater.
On the other end of the spectrum, these six
brands got the worst marks in EWG's report because they don't provide consumers
with the three basic facts about water on product labels or their company
website - Whole Foods Italian Still Mineral Water,
Vintage Natural Spring Water,Sahara Premium Drinking
Water, O Water Sport Electrolyte Enhanced Purified Drinking
Water,Market Basket Natural Spring Water,
andCumby's Spring Water.
How does your bottled water brand
stack up? Here's a look at the 10 top-selling* U.S. brands:
1. Pure Life
Purified Water (Nestle),EWG grade = B
2. Arrowhead Mountain Spring
Water(Nestle), EWG grade = C
3. Aquafina Purified Drinking Water(Pepsi),
EWG grade = D
4. Dasani Purified Water (Coca-Cola),EWG grade =
D
5. Deer Park Natural Spring Water(Nestle), EWG grade = D
6. Ice
Mountain Natural Spring Water(Nestle), EWG grade = D
7. Ozarka Natural
Spring Water (Nestle),EWG grade = D
8. Poland Spring Natural Spring
Water(Nestle), EWG grade = D
9. Zephyrhills Natural Spring Water(Nestle),
EWG grade = D
10. Crystal Geyser Natural Alpine Spring Water (CGRoxane), EWG
grade = F
Filtered tap water received the best grade (an A) from EWG because
if you change your filter regularly, EWG says it is purer than bottled water,
plus it saves money (bottled water can cost up to1,900 times more than what
flows from your tap). Drinking tap water also takes less of a toll on the
planet. EWG offers plenty of tips for filtering your tap
water so that you can drink the healthiest water
possible.
What should you do when bottled water is your only
option?"While our top choice is filtered tap water, when you do need to choose
bottled water, we recommend brands that tell you what's in the water and that
use advanced treatment technologies like reverse osmosis and micro-filtration," says
Houlihan. Advanced treatment technologies remove pollutants that other methods
don't. You should look for bottled water products that tell you where the water
is coming from and how pure it is.
Here are the results for all 173bottled water brands
included in the report. You'll find that some less popular brands rank even
lower than our list of top-sellers.
The advice to drink filtered tap water
can seem confusing when there are often reports about the contaminants found in
municipal water supplies. Just last month, for example, EWG announced that cancer causing hexavalent chromium (chromium-6) is in 31cities' tap water. Houlihan says
chromium-6 is as likely to be in your bottled water as it is in your tap water
and we need action from the federal government on this. She points out that a
reverse osmosis filter can remove the worrisome contaminant. You can guarantee
its removal in your home supply, but in many cases you don't know what's in the
bottle you're drinking from.

Repuublicans Fight To Make America FAIL AND STEAL OUR MONEY

STOP LOAN-SHARKING OUR SOLDIERS
GREAT NEWS!!! Finally help for our soldiers and their families.
Elizabeth Warren, the Obama’s head of the new consumer financial protection agency, plans to name Holly Petraeus, the wife of General David Petraeus--the top American general in Afghanistan--, to a new position to protect military families from predatory lenders.
Holly Petraeus, a longtime advocate for military families, to crack down on unscrupulous lending operations that have thrived by focusing on vulnerable Americans-- especially military personnel and their families. Republicans in Congress, say the new agency is an enemy of free enterprise.
The lending operations that have proliferated outside military bases can charge 25 to 50 percent of the military paycheck for “banking fees,‘ “payday loans,” etc.. Many soldiers are young and poor, so they need access to the money quickly. Congress adopted rules setting a 36 percent cap on so-called payday loans made to active-duty military and their families, but the businesses just use other terminology to get the money.
"You see that strip outside installations--the pawn shops, the tattoo parlors, the shady auto dealers," Holly recently told an interviewer. "I once heard those businesses described as bears lined up at a trout stream."
Nearly three-fourths of financial counselors and attorneys said they have sometime in the last six months counseled members of the armed forces who had fallen victim to abusive or discriminatory auto lending.
In addition to active military personnel, veterans represent a potentially lucrative target for a wide range of scam artists, from online or over-the-phone identity theft rings to bogus charities set up to purportedly help service members.
Many veterans have steady access to benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs and other government agencies that can be particularly attractive to con operations and prostitution schemers..
Two years ago, the VA warned veterans of a telephone scam in which callers posed as VA employees and asked for credit card information over the phone, supposedly to update prescription information.
The Better Business Bureau last month warned of bogus e-mails seeking personal information that was sent out by someone who claimed to be an attorney with the VA. In addition, government computers, containing extensive military personnel identification and family information has been hacked and stolen numerous times over the past years.

Thanks to President Obama, during the December break while home in Hawaii, the President signed a financial help package for the 9/11 rescuers. The 9/11 World Trade Center Rescuers will get some money to help with medical care, death benefits, disability retirement benefits and other terrorist-related injuries. The President had a rough time passing this legislation because the Republicans in Congress did not want to pass it. The Republicans said it there was no plan to fund the bill, so they voted against it. Finally, there was a statement that the funding will come from overseas corporations..
I know our rescuers did not hesitate to search and rescue victims of the tragedy...and I would not have allowed them to suffer so long. Thanks President Obama. Rotten tomatoes to the Republicans in Congress.

JOIN US IN EDUCATION REFORM
A new report that showed a nearly 3 percentage point jump – from 18.9 percent to 21.7 percent – in California’s high school dropout rate from 2007-08 to 2008-09 triggered alarmed headlines around the state. Locally, however, the concern had an additional dimension: Data showing San Diego County’s dropout rate increased from 17.1 percent to 20.4 percent from 2007-08 to 2008-09 may not be accurate because figures for San Diego Unified, by far the county’s largest school district, were in doubt. Why? The district’s dropout rate inexplicably soared from 9.2 percent to 23.5 percent.

MEXICAN GANGS TARGET FAMILY KILLING THE WOMEN
The tale of Marisela Escobedo continues after her murder. Marisela was a nurse in the U.S. who retired after her16-year-old daughter, Rubi Marisol, was found killed and dismembered in August 2008. The suspect, her live-in boyfriend, Sergio Rafael Barraza, escaped into Mexico, joined a gang and had Marisela killed outside the governor's mansion to stop her cries for justice. (see prior article)
Now the gang has targeted Marisela's husband by setting ablaze his lumber business in Ciudad Juarez.

DREAM TURNS TO DUST
Today 12/18/20, Congress voted down the Dream Act. This Act provided children who were born in the U.S. by foreign parents, a pathway to citizenship. The Act stated the children had to complete two years of education post-high school or two years of military service.
Supporters say they will bring back the Dream Act in 2011 under the new Congress.

Hmong New Year Celebrations
There are two celebrations listed in Fresno on December 26th. While many will be absorbed by post-Christmas sales, this is a day to also visit the Hmong culture.
Gen Vang Pao will attend one or more of the events. General Pao fought communists in southeast Asia, He also aided and saved the lives of many American soldiers during the war. The General was rescued, along with other citizens, into the U.S. at the end of the war.

SOUTH KOREA SAVING FACE
South Korea says it will go ahead with one day of live ammunition military drills early next week. The North Koreans are threatening to blast the South even harder than it did on November 23rd, if the South goes ahead with the drills.
The South responded it has to go through with the drills due to their poor response to the North's assault on the 23rd in order to save face.
The North has numerous problems and has little to lose from future battles. This is where sounds minds must intervene.

MEXICAN PRISONERS ESCAPE AND MAY BE COMING TO U.S.
Around 150 inmates escaped, 12/17/2010, from a state prison in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on the border of Laredo, Texas. The "authorities" said the breakout was done with the aid of prison employees. 141 of the inmates got out via a service exit used by vehicles with staff assistance. The director of the prison is not talking and is "under investigation."
The escaped prisoners were a mixture of state and federal criminals.
Mexican prisons are very different than American prisons. In Mexico, prisoners rule by gangs inside prisons more fiercely than we experience in the U.S.

BARBARA WILLING TO PAY TO GET FEDS OFF HER CASE WITH MADOFF
Jeffery Picower, perhaps a secret partner of Maddoff was paid billions. Jeffery, age 67, died in his Palm Beach mansion swimming pool last year, Today, his widow, Barbara, has announced to federal courts she would return $7.2 BILLION DOLLARS that Jefferey got from Madoff. Madoff, of course, is in prison. Jeffery was under investigation for his part in the Ponzi scheme.
The return of the BILLIONS means Madoff's victims may get 1/2 or more of their investment losses back as a settlement. Some victims have taken jobs as maids due to Madoff's scams. Don't cry for Barbara. Her husbands invetments on the money increased their booty thousands of times. Maybe she should shell out more.
