Long Term Oil Relief

Long Term Oil Relief!

It looks like some of our factors for long-term oil use are changing. One factor is that China has decided to raise the price of gasoline and diesel fuel, which will lower the demand. Also, Saudi Arabia’s oil minister stated he would increase production through the end of the year. Although he didn’t state how much, but did say they would. And finally, Iraq is also set to sign contracts with companies to increase the production. Remember, this is long term, not short-term fix. So, get used to that $4 a gallon of gas.

Teens form Pact

Teens form Pact!

I didn’t hear about this story in the news, I heard about it in Church today. I want to start off by saying this story has been confirmed by Principal Joseph Sullivan and Superintendent Christopher Farmer of Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Massachusetts. With that being said it appears that a group of teen girls formed a pact to get pregnant. They did this so they could raise their kids together. Now, I don’t know the whole story about this, but from what I read truly believe the handling of this is so wrong. Everyone is pointing fingers at each other on how they failed these girls. Some are saying we should have handed out more condoms or provided more sex education. I even heard that 2 high school health employees quit their jobs in protest. They wanted to have more confidential distribution of contraceptives, and where told no. I’m glad they quit, this isn’t the answer, the answer is notify the Parents when these teens where coming in for pregnancy tests. These teens at times where mad when their tests came up negative. And when the test was positive, they high five each other. What in the world was the tester/school thinking when these girls where acting this way. I only have this to say, what these girls did was so wrong and everyone should let them know. Also, all schools need to contact Parents anytime a student comes in for testing, because after all, these Grandparents will be the ones raising the babies, not the teens. We must never say this is OK!

Greg Biffles Deal

Greg Biffle’s Deal!

It final seems that the talks between Greg Biffle and Roush Fenway Racing will be ending soon.  Greg Biffle has stated that he has always wanted to remain with Roush Fenway Racing for the last few months.  But the two could never come to terms.  Now, both sides agree that all deals have been worked out and just need to sign on the dotted line.  This deal will give Biffle a three-year contract extension, for a total of 13 years with Roush Fenway Racing.  In the racing world, that’s a long time.  Who knows, maybe Biffle and Roush Fenway Racing will announce the extension deal at this week’s race at New Hampshire International Speedway.

Woods Maybe Not A Faker

Woods Maybe Not A Faker!

Ok, I posted during the U.S. Open that it seemed to me that Woods was faking.  I think I could have been wrong, ok I was wrong.  It appears that he will be out for the rest of this golf season.  He will miss the next 3 majors.  He gave up the shot at those 3 majors to win the U.S. Open.  Doctors told him not to play, and he did it any ways.  So, if he misses the rest of the season it’s because of his own will to stay on top.  I also heard that this injury might affect his way he plays the game.  He may never be the same again.  If he ever wants to be what he was he will really need to stay away the rest of this year and come back fresh and new next season.
