A poor man goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, "My son, please, please, please ... give me the grace to win the lottery." This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated statue comes to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust, "My son-please, please, please ... buy a/an (                  )."

Crimes against the people of America need to be reduced. The Crime Prevention Coalition has named this year's theme "Safer Communities, Brighter Futures." They believe that what really drives crime from our streets is everyone helping each other.

By helping each other, crime has been reduced in those areas where entire neighborhoods are involved. Building trust among neighbors has helped keep the crime figures low in those communities.

The facts concerning crime in America have changed. Violent crime has gone down since last year. Property crime has also decreased. The number of young people getting arrested for violent crimes has gone up. More young people have been victims of violent crimes too.

Children in America have also suffered. More parents have been charged with abusing their children. A number of young girls have reported to have been beaten by boyfriends.

Although many different crimes are being stopped, many more are still happening. People who live in a community with crime can make a difference. They can get involved with reducing the crime in their neighborhood. By working together, neighbors can make a safe neighborhood.

BBC

The Twitter World Cup

Post categories:

James Pearce | 12:52 UK time, Wednesday, 30 June 2010

It was a Wednesday afternoon about 15 months ago. I was at my desk at the BBC's Television Centre, preparing to go and grab a sandwich for lunch, when a colleague came up to me and asked if I had plans for the next hour.

I didn't know it at the time but my life was about to change forever - well, actually that's a slight exaggeration but I'm trying to build up some drama here!

My colleague told me that he was going to a BBC seminar about Twitter but didn't want to go alone. "Come along," he said "Twitter is the future."

I'm sure that I just stared back at him blankly. I hardly knew what Twitter was - it is a social networking site - and a sandwich would have been a much more appealing prospect at the time. Anyway, we reached a compromise. I would go to the Twitter seminar as long as we could stop off for a sandwich on the way..

Looking back on it, I'm not really sure why I agreed to go to the seminar. I think it must have been a very dull day in the office. It certainly wasn't because of any great fascination with Twitter. I knew only one fact about it - that it was the forum on which information about the Hudson River plane crash first surfaced.

The seminar was intriguing. It was clear that here was a form of communication that was completely different to anything I'd used before. That afternoon I opened a Twittter account. The rest, as they say, is history.

I was initially cautious. As a broadcaster who is used to rabbiting on for ages, I was always going to find it difficult to condense my thoughts into 140 characters. But my appreciation for what Twitter can provide has grown to such an extent over the past 15 months that I now class it as an essential tool of my trade.

In my view, the list of stars at this World Cup - which already boasts Mesut Ozil, Ghana, vuvuzelas etc - should also include Twitter. This has in many ways been the Twitter World Cup. Let me explain why.

I arrived in South Africa on 1 June - the day of the England squad announcement. I'd been sent ahead to report on the team's arrival at their Rustenburg base, while some of my colleagues remained in London to cover Capello's 23-man selection.

Once I touched down in Johannesburg, I was, like so many other people, eager to find out who was in and who was out. The problem was that Capello had told his players but the Football Association had decided to delay any announcement until later in the day.

That's when Twitter came into play. When the players found out, they naturally told family and friends, who started tweeting.

In the end, the FA's announcement was almost irrelevant because anybody using Twitter had known the names of everybody in the squad at least an hour earlier. The England squad announcement was basically made via Twitter.

Time and time again over the past few weeks I've relied on Twitter for information. Those of you who use Twitter will know that the England team was revealed by footballer-turned-radio presenter Stan Collymore before every match.

The former England striker had an indiscreet contact in the England camp. Within minutes of the players being told who had been picked, Collymore was announcing Capello's selection to the world.

Of course, there are downsides to Twitter, too. You have to be careful with the source of information. Rumours can spread quickly. On the day of France's first match, Twitter was full of false gossip about Thierry Henry.

One of the problems with Twitter is that information spreads so fast that inaccuracies can soon spread out of control.

The England players were banned from tweeting during the tournament but once Rio Ferdinand had returned home after his World Cup was ended before it began by injury he was soon on Twitter.

It will be interesting to see what Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has to say about Twitter when the Premier League season begins but currently anybody who wants to interact with the England captain can.

It's the interactivity that, for me, has made Twitter so useful. Yes, it's great to be able to find out information so quickly - and to pass it on as well - but it's also such a good barometer of public opinion.

When you're reporting on a World Cup as a journalist, it's actually very easy to misread the mood of the public back home. We are very cut off out here. We go to the team press conferences every day but that is a controlled environment. We don't have the chance to sit in a pub and chew the fat with fans.

Twitter has given me a far better ability to gauge what people have been thinking back home. Before Capello's final press conference in South Africa, I tweeted a message asking England fans to tell me what they'd like the journalists to ask the coach. Within minutes I'd had about a hundred replies.

Twitter has given you, the viewer or reader, the opportunity to tell me, the journalist, what you're thinking. Now, that doesn't mean that I have to listen to everything that I'm told - I do have my own mind as well - but it has to be healthy for that dialogue to exist.

I know from many of the messages that I've received that Twitter has given some of you who aren't in South Africa the opportunity to feel far more closely connected with this tournament than previous ones.

Whether you're following Ferdinand, or Kaka or maybe Motty, you're able to monitor their movements and their opinions. If you don't like what they say then you can message them directly.

Reporting on a World Cup is a privilege. Those lucky enough to be sent to South Africa have been on a fascinating journey. We've all had experiences that we'd like to share.

If Twitter helps you feel more involved, gives you the sense that we're taking you with us on that journey, then, in my view, it has to be an asset for any major sporting event

Michael Jackson’s death has been officially ruled as murder

마이클 잭슨 사망 원인 `살해`로 공식 확인

지난 6월 사망한 ‘팝의 황제’ 마이클 잭슨의 직접적 사인은 `살해`인 것으로 검찰 조사 결과 공식 확인됐다고 영국 데일리메일이 보도했다. 잭슨의 사망 당시 부검의는 직접적인 사망원인을 기록하지 않았으나 지난 8월 검시관의 정밀조사 결과 후 보고서에는 `타인에 의한 정맥주사로 인한 급성 프로포폴 중독`으로 사인이 기록된 것으로 나타난 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한 관계자에 따르면 잭슨 가족은 ‘경찰을 변함 없이 신뢰하고 있으며 마이클의 비극적인 죽음은 한 사람 이상의 책임’이라 말한 것으로 알려졌다. 또한 잭슨의 아버지인 조 잭슨이 아들을 위해 정의를 구하는 것을 포기하지 않을 것이며 법적 소송에 주안점을 두고 있다고 전했다. 미국 검찰은 잭슨의 주치의인 콘라드 머레이에 대해 과실치사죄로 대배심에 기소할 예정이다. 현지 언론에 따르면 머레이는 지난해 6월 25일 미국 LA에 위치한 잭슨의 자택에서 불면을 호소하는 고인에게 프로폴린 등의 마취제를 투여했으며, 그 후 마이클 잭슨은 호흡정지 상태가 된 뒤 급성심장정지로 사망했다.

Michael Jackson’s death has been officially ruled as murder, it was revealed on Jan. 10.

The British newspaper Daily Mail reported that the cause of death on the 50-year-old’s death certificate has been amended to `homicide` after months of speculation.

According to the document the King of Pop died from ‘acute Propofol intoxication’ due to an ‘intravenous injection from another’.

On the original certificate issued on July 7 deputy coroner Cheryl MacWillie refused to give a cause of death.

However after further investigations, the certificate was amended and re-released in August by medical examiner Christopher Thomas. It now states the cause of death on 25th June 2009 as `homicide`.

A source said that the Jackson family are `keeping faith with the police`, adding: `We still feel that there is more than one person responsible for Michael`s tragic death.

`Joe won`t give up on getting justice for his son and a lawuit is his focus.`

The news comes after it emerged that the singer’s doctor Conrad Murray is expected to be charged with manslaughter.

Dr Murray could be prosecuted for `gross negligence` for his treatment of the pop star during his last hours, police sources said.

Murray, a cardiologist, was with the star at his rented Los Angeles mansion in June and tried to revive him when he was found unconscious.

Murray already has a Houston law firm building his defence. Police affidavits say he admitted loading up Jackson with Propofol and other drugs in the hours before his death.

Miranda Sevcik, a spokeswoman in Houston for Murray and his lawyer, Edward Chernoff, said Friday the doctor had no comment and reiterated that Murray neither prescribed nor administered anything that should have killed Michael Jackson.

People of California are being warned about a virus. This virus can be spread by mosquitoes. It is called West Nile virus.

 

A man who is a State Public Health officer said that people should be careful. Because of the warm weather mosquitoes are breeding earlier that normal. No one can tell how bad West Nile virus might be this season. People should try to protect themselves from mosquito bites. All standing water should be cleared so mosquitoes can not breed. Also, insect repellent with DEET should be worn when outside.

 

It is also a good idea to stay inside during dawn and dusk. Mosquitoes are most active at this time. If someone must go outside they should wear long-sleeve shirts and pants.

 

No human cases of West Nile virus have been found yet in 2007. There have been areas that the virus has been found however. They are trying to reduce the number of mosquito breeding pools there.

 

Most people do not usually get extremely sick from the virus. They may get flu-like symptoms like fever, head and body aches. Sometimes it can be very serious. A person may contract encephalitis.

 

The first case of West Nile virus found in the United States was in 1999.

Korean Park Ji-sung expected to start for United
May 27, 2009


One of the biggest matches on the football calendar is just a day away, and Park Ji-sung of Manchester United can make a name for himself by becoming the first Asian to play in the Champions League final match.

Park was left off Manchester’s lineup in last season’s final against Chelsea, with Owen Hargreaves getting the start at right wing. But, according to most media outlets, the Korean is a shoe-in to crack the starting lineup in tomorrow’s big match.

“When I was left off the lineup in last season’s final, to be honest, I was very disappointed,” Park said. “It was a different type of pain than what I felt during my two knee operations. That’s because the Champions League final match is a stage we all dream of playing on. This season has been my best season to date. We repeated as the Premier League champions and completed the season healthy.”

Park is optimistic about his chances this time around.

“I want to play but I can’t be sure until the manager releases the lineup on the day of the final,” he said. “If I do get the start, I will give it my all. I want to show my absolute best.”

Pitted against the talented forwards and midfielders of Barcelona, Park will be expected to play a significant role on defense. Park is confident that both he and his team will live up to the challenge. “Our solid defense and teamwork will prevent Barcelona from playing to their full capability,” he said.

“This is why I am sure we will earn a victory over Barcelona. They have many excellent players. But [Lionel] Messi has been the best player for them this season. If I get the chance, I will focus on stopping Messi,” he added.

Let freedom ring

 

 

Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom

마음속의 깊은 곳은 자유가 있다는 것을 항상 알고 있었다.

Somehow breathed into the very soul alive

(여하튼) (우리는) 바로 그 살아있는 마음에 생기를 불어넣음 받았다.

The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it

죄지은 자, 무능한 자, 노예도 언제나 이것을 알고 있었다.

There‘s something that keeps reaching for the sky

‘계속 하늘에 이르고자 하는 무언가가 있다’(는 것을)

 

Even life begins because a baby fights for freedom

비록 아이가 자유를 위해 투쟁하려고 삶이 시작된다 해도

And songs we love to sing have freedom‘s theme

그리고 우리가 부르길 좋아하는 노래가 자유라는 주제를 가지고 있어도

Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom

어떤 이가 자유로운 곳을 찾기 위해 불과 깊은 물 위를 걸을지라도

And some faced hell itself for freedom‘s dream

그리고 어떤 이는 자유의 꿈을 위해 스스로 죽음을 향해갈지라도

 

Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains

자유를 외치자, 마음이 속박이 의미하는 것이 무엇인지를 아는 때는 언제든지

Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain

자유를 외치자, 마음이 고통을 아는 때는 언제든지

Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key

자유를 울리자, 정답을 모르는 감옥같은 외로운 세상에

We can be free and we can sing --- let freedom ring

우리는 자유로워 질수 있고 노래 할수 있네, 자유를 외치자

 

God built freedom into every fiber of creation

하나님은 모든 창조물의 섬유(기질, 성격)마다 자유를 지으셨다

And He meant for us to all be free and whole

그리고 그는 우리가 모두 자유롭고 완전하다고 말씀하셨다

When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption

우리 주님께서 그의 구원의 피로 구원을 주셨을 때,

His cross stamped pardon on my very soul

그의 십자가는 내 그 마음에 용서라는 도장을 찍었다

I‘ll sing it out with every breath, I’ll let the whole world hear it

나는 모든 숨으로 그것을 소리칠거야, 나는 모든 세상이 그걸 듣게 할거야

This hallelujah anthem of the free

(바로) 이 자유의 할렐루야 찬송을!!

That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive

저 쇠막기와 무거운 사슬은 우리를 포로로 속박하지 못해

The Son has made us free and free indeed

그 아들이 우리를 정말로 자유롭게, 자유롭게 했어(했기 때문이지!)

 

Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary

자유를 외치자, 갈바리라고 불리는 언덕으로부터 이 시대에..

Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain

자유를 외치자, 마음이 고통을 아는 때면 언제든지

Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key

자유를 울리자, 정답을 모르는 감옥같은 외로운 세상에

You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring

우리는 자유로워 질수 있고 노래 할수 있네, 자유를 외치자

Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key

자유를 울리자, 정답을 모르는 감옥같은 외로운 세상에

You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring

당신은 자유로워 질수 있고 노래 할수 있네, 자유를 외치자

You can be free and you can sing --- let freedom ring --- let freedom ring

당신은 자유로워 질수 있고 노래 할수 있네, 자유를 외치자, 자유를 외치자

On January 20, Barack Obama claimed his place in history as America’s first black president before a jubilant crowd of more than a million in Washington D.C. The presidency passed to Obama from George W. Bush at noon and Obama thanked Bush for his service as president. It was an extraordinary day in the life of America and a day of high spirits. People of all colors and ages welcomed the new president with new hopes and wishes. Change has finally come to America!

Wearing a navy suit and red tie, the 44th U.S. president repeated the oath of office, putting his hand on the same Bible used by President Abraham Lincoln. On the inaugural parade route, Obama and his wife Michelle walked a few blocks, waving to cheering crowds under the watchful eyes of security agents.

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America,” Obama said in his inaugural address. “We gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. We will overcome our serious economic and international challenges. We are ready to lead once more.”

His inspirational inaugural address only briefly mentioned a series of pledges from his presidential campaign: to get the U.S. out of Iraq, stabilize Afghanistan, create jobs, boost the use of alternative energy, address climate change, transform schools, manage government spending wisely and oversee a more bipartisan, and less-divisive approach to policy-making.

As Obama took office in a time of economic crisis, with some 11 million people now out of work, he said he will focus his energy on reviving the economy. He placed blame for the recent economic collapse not just on greed and irresponsibility on the part of some but also on the inability or unwillingness of everyone to move the country beyond an industrial-based economy.

“What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly,” Obama said.

His entrance to the White House was cheered all around the world as a sign that America will be more embracing and more open to change. “With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come,” Obama said.
