Tebow is the son of Christian missionaries. He's trying to do what he feels is right and spred the word. Tebow has played before showing Phil 4:13 on his eye blacks.

Postchronicle.com reported : "As far as the game goes, the high-scoring shootout between Heisman Trophy winners never materialized. Oklahoma's Sam Bradford couldn't score from in close and Tebow threw two interceptions, the figure he had all season.
Tebow, however, would shake off those two miserable throws to rescue the top-ranked Gators (13-1). He would lead them on a game winning drive to the clinching score - a jump pass for a 4-yard touchdown to David Nelson with 3:07 to play that made it 24-14. Tebow was later picked the game's most outstanding player, rushing for 109 yards."

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

"Today is a day of mourning for Costa Ricans, because the earthquake killed three people, two children and a woman," said President Oscar Arias at a joint news conference.

The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.1.

The bodies of two sisters were found near the epiccenter by police and residents of the area. The two sisters were selling sweets near the epicenter. They were killed by a landslide caused by the earthquake.

The woman died of a heart attack.

The quake injured 208 people, damaged some 42 communities as well as electricity networks, and cut off some 300 tourists in a luxury hotel near Poas, according to emergency services.

The earthquake hit at 1:21 pm (1921 GMT) about 22 miles northwest of the capital. people said they had not felt such a strong tremor in 30 years.

It was felt across the Central American country and also in Nicaragua.

Transport Minister Karla Gonzalez said the government had contracted most private helicopters in the country, which has no army, to help with rescue operations.

The emergency commission declared a red alert in the capital and surrounding areas "where serious damage to infrastructure, roads and homes has been reported and some people were injured and trapped in their houses."

There were reported broken windows, and cracks in roads in San Jose.

Costa Rica had over 4,700 earthquakes in 2008, around 60 were felt by the residents, according to the observatory.

Nancy Killefer - Chief Performance Officer announced!!! with video

as reported by The Huffington Post January 7, 2009. WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama said Wednesday that reforming massive government entitlement programs _ such as Social Security and Medicare _ would be "a central part" of his effort to control federal spending.

Obama made the pledge but provided few details as he named Nancy Killefer as his administration's chief performance officer, creating a new White House position aimed at eliminating government waste and improving efficiency.

Noting that the Congressional Budget Office had just estimated he would inherit a $1.2 trillion federal deficit for fiscal 2009, Obama promised to cut unnecessary spending.

"We expect that discussion around entitlements will be a part, a central part of those plans," Obama said. "And I would expect that by February in line with the announcement of at least a rough budget outline we will have more to say about how we're going to approach entitlement spending."

For the first time, Obama gave a ballpark price tag for his massive economic plan aimed at generating jobs and jolting the country out of recession. Aides have said it could cost as much as $775 billion over two years. Outside economists have suggested as much as $1.2 trillion would be needed.

"We expect that it will be on the high end of our estimates but will not be as high as some economists have recommended because of the constraint and concerns we have about the existing deficit," Obama said.

At the brief news conference, Obama also deferred to President George W. Bush on the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Even as he's delved into domestic issues, Obama has refrained from commenting on the conflict and has insisted that he would allow the current chief executive to deal with foreign policy matters until the Jan. 20 inauguration.

"We can't have two administrations running foreign policy at the same time. We simply can't do it," Obama said. "The silence is not as a consequence of a lack of concern. In fact, it's not silence. ... I've explained very clearly what institutional constraints I'm under when it comes to this issue."

Still, Obama said he was "deeply concerned" about the conflict. He also offered assurances that he was being briefed consistently on the issue and his national security team was "up to speed."

As he named Killefer, Obama promised to scour the federal budget to eliminate what doesn't work and improve what does to "put government on the side of taxpayers." He said: "We can no longer afford to sustain the old ways when we know there are new and more efficient ways to getting the job done."

Killefer, a director of a management consulting firm who previously served as an assistant secretary of the treasury under President Bill Clinton, will work with federal agencies to set performance standards and hold agency managers accountable for progress.

Obama pledged during the campaign to form a White House SWAT team of sorts _ led by a chief performance officer who would report directly to him _ to work with agency leaders and the White House budget office to improve federal programs and services.

Yet, even as he announced the post that's also aimed at spending taxpayer money more efficiently, Obama was spending his first week in Washington promoting his mammoth economic stimulus plan _ much of which will be new spending aimed at creating jobs and stoking the troubled economy.


Lets get some feedback on this subject. Tell me what you think about Obama's plans?

Have a Ball

January 07, 2009 - Ann Coulter appeared on the TODAY show today. The Conservative author speaks out about unwed mothers, ‘B. Hussein’ Obama. there was some obvious animosity between Ann and Matt Lauer because of a cancellation of her appearing on the TODAY show. Her cancellation was "to make way for a live report from Israel on the conflict in Gaza by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair" -according to Lauer. Coulter countered that TODAY could have given her a different time slot. Lauer accused her of saying, “The mainstream media hates conservatives.” “I didn’t say that,” Coulter said. She admitted that she agrees with the sentiment, “but I have much more colorful language.” “The point is, I was canceled twice,” Coulter rejoined, referring to a second scheduled appearance on Tuesday with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford in the show’s fourth hour that was also dropped.

Naked Skier

JANUARY 6--Smoking gun website reported that a 48 year old male skier at Colorado's ritzy Vail resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Thursday morning. the incident happened on January first. This happened after the skier and a child got on the high-speed lift in Vail's Blue Sky Basin. the skiier fell through a gap supposedly because the fold-down seat was not in the lowered position. His right ski got stuck in the rising chairlift, and that kept him upside down because his boot didn't dislodge from its binding. The Skyline Express lift was stopped shortly after the incident. The man stuck for about 15 minutes before Vail personnel backed the lift up and got him out of the chair. Supposedly the skier was not injured. The press release did not explain how the mishap occurred, only that "the man was caught on the chair."

We'll see if this leads to litigation. I think its very likely that the man will find some way or reason to sue for this incident. What a shame it is how people cling to every chance they can get money for something. The incident was probably the skiiers fault to begin with. get more at http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0106091vail1.html
