| | | George Martin Completes an Historic Journey | | 2008-06-21 18:25:00 | | Former New York Giants defensive lineman George Martin completed an historic journey on Saturday, as he walked completely across the United States to bring more awareness and raise money for those ill first responders from the World Trade Center disaster.He was originally going to walk from the George Washington Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge, but altered the route and finished in San Diego instead. He began his 3,000+ mile trek across the country last September 16th, and in the process, lost 41 pounds, went through 27 pairs of sneakers and dozens of pairs of socks.He encountered driving rain storms, heat, driving winds and freezing temperatures. But he also raised over $2 million dollars for those sick 9/11 responders.George Martin is truly one of America's heroes, and someone the NFL can really be proud of.His web site for the walk is: http://www.ajourneyfor911.infoCongratulations George, on a job well done.... | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |

| | Utley’s Historic Pace | | 2008-06-06 15:17:17 | | Chase Utley has officially broken out. What many Philadelphia fans have known for a couple years is now spreading all around the league - Utley is one of, if not the, best all-around talents in baseball. He hits for power and average and is a phenomenal base-runner and defensive player. He hustles, and his (and J-Roll's) competitive spirit makes him one of the leaders of the reigning NL East champions and current NL East front-runners. Joe Morgan recently said that he has a chance to be "the best 2nd baseman ever."
But just HOW good has Utley been this year? In this day in age where sports media is around us 24/7 in 100 different forms, everyone is looking for someone to hype up. So are the people already paving Utley's path to Cooperstown justified? Let's take a look.... | | By: The Recliner GM Sports Blog | | |

In the 17th century, a rebellion occurred in the royal house of Gelgel, the then-capital of Bali, which started a surge of many small skirmishes and conflicts between royal houses. Nine kingdoms finally emerged (eight of which are now the established regencies in Bali, with the Mengwi kingdom absorbed into the others when it was defeated in battle in the 1880s).In the early 1700s, the Dewa Agung Jambe (king) of Klungkung sent his son, the Dewa Agung Anom Wijayasunu, to Sukawati (called Timbul at the time) to found a palace there and establish a centre of power and beauty. Many artists and artisans from Klungkung and Mengwi came to build the palace in Sukawati, which was one of the finest in the land. Once their job was over, the artists did not want to go home and they remaine... | | By: Indonesia Cultural and Art | | |

For this evening, by midnight Eastern Time, the United States will have, in U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., its first-ever African-American presidential nominee. Pundits from the AP, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and just about everywhere else predict tonight, Obama will go over the necessary number of delegates to win the Democratic nomination for the presidency.Just 40 years ago, this country was mired in a racial divide (not to say it's not today, either). In 1968, this country still suffered the effects of bitterness. We saw the loss of Robert F. Kennedy. We saw the loss of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And now, today, we will never-again be able to say we've never had an African-American presidential nominee.... | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |
| | Historic Ubud - Bali | | 2008-06-03 07:34:00 | | "Today the entire world is a museum available to those who have the desire to see. In this museum, Bali is one of the most impressive collections, and while I have seen relatively little of Bali, I am convinced that Ubud is the principal gem of the entire collection. Ubud contains not only the precious mementoes of Bali's glorious past but also the living representations of its impressive present and hopeful future. Some may worry about the change that modern energy and drive will bring to Bali, but I do not. The creative urge of the Balinese, the natural instinct for beauty and contentment, will prevail." - 17 September, 1959, C.

| | Iraqi Author 'Aref 'Alwan: The Jews Have an Historic Right to Palestine | | 2008-04-16 13:16:00 | | 'Alwan called on the Arab world to acknowledge the Jews' right to Palestine, because justice demanded it and also because doing so would end the violence and the killing of Arabs, as well as intra-Arab strife. He added that such a move would also open up new avenues for the Arab world that would be more consistent with the values and needs of modern society.'Alwan writes that the Arab League is to blame for the refusal to recognize the 1947 U.N. partition plan, for starting a war to prevent its implementation, and for the results of that war, which the Arabs call the Nakba (disaster). He points an accusing finger at the Arab regimes, the Arab League, and the educated circles in the Arab world, saying that they had all used the term "nakba" to direct popular consciousness toward a cultural tradition that neither accepts the other side nor recognizes its rights - thereby promoting bigotry, violence and extremism. He also claims that there have been attempts to rewrite Palestinian history... | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| | US-Israeli developer brings golf to Israel's historic Mount Arbel | | 2008-03-11 17:17:00 | | It was when the bottom fell out of the US real estate market in the early 1990s, that Joseph Bernstein first got the idea to open a luxury golf course in Israel.It wasn't an overnight revelation, more of a gradual process of discovery. Bernstein, an Israeli who had immigrated to America as a child, had been involved in a number of large real estate developments in New York through his company, Americas Partners, including the $500 million development Americas Tower, the US headquarters of Bank Hapoalim and world headquarters of PriceWaterhouseCoopers.When the market tanked in 1991, he decided to forget about work for a while and take up golf. He spent the next year devoting himself to the sport. He traveled widely in pursuit of his new interest and one day found himself teeing off on Israel's only golf course at Caesarea.

It reminds President Bush to "declare to the world" that he will honor G-d's word and act "towards settling the Jewish People throughout their entire Land."It begins by saying that Mr. Bush can "make a declaration, as did Cyrus, King of Persia... who, in the year 538 BCE, returned the exiled nations to their lands, recognized the full right of the Jewish people to reestablish their Holy Temple, the “house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 56:7), and called upon them to return to their land.""And thus," the manifesto continues, "if you truly desire peace and benevolence, and you would be counted in the company of the truly righteous, we call upon you to declare to all the world: The Land of Israel was bequeathed to the nation of Israel by the Creator of the world. Neither could I, as a son of my faith, nor the Muslims according to their faith, ever take away even the slightest grain from the Eternal’s gift, which He gave to His people Israel, the eternal people."... | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| | Would you like a shot at denying the Patriots a historic win? | | 2007-12-04 10:43:57 | | On the heels of New England's 27-24 escape from Baltimore last night, the Patriots are now 12-0. Here's a question for you, Big Blue View Nation. At this point, are you hoping the Patriots are 15-0 with a shot at making history when they visit the Meadowlands in the final week of the season? Or, are you hoping someone -- like 9-3 Pittsburgh this week -- knocks off the Patriots first so they have nothing to play for in the final week? I know it would be nice to play New England with a chance at denying them a place in the history books, but for a lot of reasons I am rooting for the Steelers this week. First, the game might have meaning for the Giants in terms of making the playoffs or who and where they will play. Winning would be easier if the Patriots have nothing to play for. Second, if the Giants playoff fate is already decided I don't want to see them waste energy and emotion trying to knock off the unbeaten Pats, then wind up flat in an opening-round playoff game. ... | | By: Big Blue View | | |
