she probolobly lips sings all her other songs too -
at an event such as this one, she knew she would have to perform. Patriotism as sacred as singing the national anthem should have had more meaning to her, than a recording.

"FireFly" spaceships to begin exploring asteroids in 2015 - 2 views

Asteroid-mining company Deep Space Industries has just announced plans to launch a fleet of "FireFly" spacecraft as soon as 2015. Their mission? Find asteroids, rich with valuable metals, that could aid in humanity's colonization of space.

I think it's really cool that they're taking the next step, and figuring out how they could possibly sustain life in space. -
It will be interesting to see if Deep Space succeeds in mining asteroids. I think it's a great idea, but I would like to know how long they project it will take to mine materials and bring them back to Earth.

Drunk-drive blood tests divide Supreme Court - 0 views
-
Washington (CNN) -- Alcohol-related car crashes kill about 10,000 people each year in the United States and law enforcement wants more flexibility to determine whether a suspected drunk driver is, indeed, over the limit. But the Supreme Court was clearly divided in oral arguments on Wednesday about whether police can obtain a blood test without a warrant to determine intoxication levels.

I know that in Iowa, if you do not consent to a test(s), it is as if you fail all 3. In our state, it does not take much to arrest someone for drunk driving. If you fail one of the 3, you have to consent to one of the others, or once again, you are arrested for drunk driving. In all honesty, I would be pretty angry if someone wanted to draw my blood. I am first of all, scared of needles, and I am pretty sure I am also Hemophobic. I want to see what the courts rule on this. -
if you refuse to take the test its the same as failing the test
Iowa Supreme Court gives speech protections to online publishing firms _ but not indivi... - 0 views

University of Iowa journalism professor Lyombe Eko said the court "has given protection to people who are bullied on the Internet, the victims of smears or lies or accusations posted on Facebook and Twitter." People will be able to sue the attacker, but not the company that hosts the site where the statements are posted, he said.

So now you can get sue for saying something rude about some (everyone dose) ? If you don't want people saying mean things to you don't get on that website and don't involve your self with those people ... -
I honestly really like this decision. The rights of individual people haven't changed at all. Nontraditional publishers are just granted the same protections as traditional publishers, and this is an important and necessary decision considering the huge rise in popularity of nontraditional publishers. Beth Weier's lawyer said that ASI [the publisher] shouldn't qualify for protection because it "simply did cover art and bound the book and put it on a website." However, e-publishing is now an important part of the publishing industry, and if we accept his reasoning NO publishers qualify for protection, because none of them write the material they publish.

Iowa court rules boss can fire employee he considers an 'irresistible attraction' - 0 views

A 53 year old dentist in Iowa fired one of his employees because he feared that he would try to start an affair with the 32 year old.

This is absolutely ridiculous. That poor woman lost her job because she was an 'irresistible attraction'? He'd worked with that woman for 10 years of course they'd formed some sort of relationship, that tends to happen. I just think that being able to fire someone, man or woman, because they're an 'irresistible attraction' is not only humiliating but degrading to that individual. No one should be fired because the way they look can ruin their employers marriage. If it's that big of a problem then that couple needs to go see a professional about their problems, not bring them to the work place.
