Historic health care bill heads to Obama

Tomorrow President Obama will sign sweeping health care reform legislation into law. The Package of changes to bill still needs Senate approval, but the GOP could delay it. Most Americans will now be required to have health insurance or pay a fine. Larger employers will be required to provide coverage or risk financial penalties. Lifetime coverage limits will be banned, and insurers will be barred from denying coverage based on gender or pre-existing conditions. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Obama’s success was an example of the president’s tenacity. she also said “If you ever doubt the resolve of President Obama to stay with a job, look at what we got done for the United States last night when it came to passing quality affordable health care for everyone,” during a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

16 Year Old Shoots Parents Over Halo 3

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on March 22, 2010 by enigma79

On September 2007 Daniel Petric snuck out of his room to go buy Halo 3. Daniel has played the game with his friends behind his parents back, and he decided he wanted his own copy of the game. After he bought it he went home but his parents caught him, they took his game away and locked it up in a safe with a 9mm in it. The parents didn’t allow him to play it because the game is too violent, a month later, on the 20th of October, 2007 Daniel was still upset that they took his game so he took his dads lockbox key and went to get his game but when he opened the box he found his game and the gun. At Mark Petric’s testimony, he said he was sitting on the couch when Daniel came up behind him and said, “Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you.” they closed their eyes expecting to get something pleasant, suddenly the father felt a numb pain as blood poured out of his head. He later realized that his wife was dead she got shot in the head, arms and her chest. Daniel even tried to frame his dad he put the gun in his hand and told him “Hey Dad, here’s your gun. Take it.”

Cyber Attack Charges: Google vs. China

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on January 22, 2010 by enigma79

Google says it has been the victim of cyber attacks in China.

Google has threatened to pull out of China, saying that Chinese hackers have targeted Google and up to 34 other companies. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged China to investigate such attacks, saying they raised “very serious concerns.” Five years ago, Google agreed to allow some censorship by China, in exchange for the right to operate in that country’s massive emerging technology market. The company now says censorship and the hacking of Chinese dissidents’ Google e-mail accounts have prompted it to reconsider.

India Tightens Air Security

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on January 22, 2010 by enigma79

P.N. Sukul, joint secretary for India’s Ministry of Civil Aviation, said the alert was based on intelligence indicating that terror groups were planning an attack involving a flight from a South Asian country. The threat might be aimed at one of the flights operating in a member country of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation or in Myanmar, formerly Burma, he said. The association members besides India are Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Pakistan. In December 1999, hijackers commandeered an Indian airliner with more than 150 passengers, forcing pilots to fly to Kandahar, Afghanistan. It had been flying from Kathmandu, Nepal, to New Delhi.

Another aftershock rocked Haiti on Friday. Buildings shook. People looked around to see what else might fall. Then they returned to what they had been doing.  At a park in the capital that has become a tent city, a group of kids resumed their soccer game.Aftershocks have become a way of life in this devastated country along with so many other life-threatening challenges. The 7.0-magnitude quake was more than 40 times stronger than the 5.9-magnitude aftershock, researchers said. While each new earthquake can slow relief efforts, those efforts were advancing Friday, including at the port, where critical supplies are being shipped in.

Better Airport Security

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on January 13, 2010 by enigma79

Passenger checks in at Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.

Well air port security is going to try to make security a lot tighter after someone tried to blow up a plan on Christmas day. Luckily the bomber was stupid and couldn’t set off the bomb, a true miracle because lives did not come to an end on a special day. Isaac Yeffet, the former head of security for El Al has a good idea for security. He says that people are better than machines, he said he knows that machines can malfunction and dangerous weapons can come through. He believes that people should do searches instead of machines because we as humans can feel an object being hidden because we are smart and if we feel an object that they did not pull out of their pockets they know something is going on.

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on January 11, 2010 by enigma79

As many of you people have already heard 4 of the water pipes busted in downtown Nashville. Well I want to touch up on this topic to tell people who don’t know much about what happened. on Sunday workers started to repair a 36-inch main pipe on Second Avenue South, which cut off all the water to all the popular spots where people take tours. The other 2 pipes are both 24 inches one is on Broadway and the other water pipe on Second Avenue North. But they can’t fix it the problem is the water is frozen and Nashville isn’t getting warm enough for it to melt.

Uh-Oh For People Who Cheat

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on December 8, 2009 by enigma79

Seven states allow jilted spouses to file "alienation of affection" suits against alleged paramours.

All of you people who cheat on your wife/husband you better be careful because you can get sued. Yep you read this right and you will see the proof in the link below, this new law is known as the “alienation of affection.” And you can get sued if someone does interfere with your marriage(I’m sure you know what I am talking about.) Im going to try to explain this better… This happened cause of Tiger Woods and him being an idiot, well anyway the point of this law is for example if a man cheats on his wife with another woman the wife has the right to sue that woman who the husband cheated with. So if he cheated with a rich woman ALL the women with broken hearts while have a lot of money in their pockets. Seven states have already passed this law so if you live in Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah you better watch yourself. Personally if you ask me you are better off not cheating or getting a divorce saves trouble.
