All I do is stay focused looking straight forward at the world, and beyond. I feel people pulling me down, I feel some pulling me up I can't get stuck. I just keep moving forward, I have places to go.
Attorney General Sues Jacksonville Maker of Caylee Anthony Doll, Michael Vick Chew Toy
TALLAHASSEE, FL—Attorney General Bill McCollum today sued a Jacksonville company and its owner responsible for marketing and selling Caylee Anthony dolls and Michael Vick chew toys, but misrepresenting where proceeds for the sales would go. The lawsuit states Jaime Salcedo and his company Showbiz Promotions, LLC represented to potential customers that profits from the Caylee doll would benefit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and profits from the chew toys would be directed to local animal shelters and organizations. However, little or no contributions to these organizations have been made by either Salcedo or Showbiz Promotions to date...New complaints have since surfaced over the company’s use of Caylee Anthony’s name and likeness for the “Sunshine Doll Collection” and other “Caylee Sunshine” merchandise. The lawsuit states the company and Salcedo intentionally misrepresented that a $5,000 donation was made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by Showbiz Promotions when, in fact, only a $10.00 donation was confirmed. This effort is outrageous and attempts to exploit the tragic murder of a child for personal benefit,” said Ernie Allen, President and CEO, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “NCMEC does not and will not ever be associated with any attempt to commercialize or raise money in connection with the victimization of any child.” (Office of the Attorney General of Florida)
Who couldn't see this coming, a company would lie about their intentions to make money. Who the hell would buy a Caylee Anthony doll, whats the purpose. TO COLLECT it? Since when are murdered children dolls collectibles, they should sue the people who buy this shit. Didn't Nancy Grace and Headline news exploit this tragedy for months for ratings? Is this really different I'm sure the advertising rates aren't cheap for a show like Nancy Grace. This is her web page today look which story takes up most of the page. They have a Caylee Blog on Nancy Graces Website and as of right now advertisements for google and lawyers.com on the page. That seems like they are profiting off of a tragedy.

Time Man of the Year 2008 Should be Nicholas Negropante of MIT Designer of the ONE LAPTOP
The mission of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish our goal, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege.
"Since November 12th, OLPC has been offering a limited-time Give One Get One program in the United States and Canada. During Give One Get One, you can donate the revolutionary XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, and also receive one for the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. Thanks to a growing interest in the program, we have extended Give One Get One through the end of the year. You may also donate laptops via our Simply Give and Give Many options. Through the increasing public interest in OLPC, we hope to give many more children the opportunity to grow, explore, learn and express themselves."Visit Site, Donate.
There have been many arguments but Negroponte was right and is making an impact!
Doubts about whether poor, rural children really can benefit from quirky little computers evaporate as quickly as the morning dew in this hilltop Andean village, where 50 primary school children got machines from the One Laptop Per Child project six months ago...At breakfast, they're already powering up the combination library/videocam/audio recorder/music maker/drawing kits. At night, they're dozing off in front of them — if they've managed to keep older siblings from waylaying the coveted machines...But no competitor approaches the XO in innovation. It is hard drive-free, runs on the Linux operating system and stretches wireless networks with "mesh" technology that lets each computer in a village relay data to the others..."What they work with most is the (built-in) camera. They love to record," says Maria Antonieta Mendoza, an Education Ministry psychologist studying the Arahuay pilot to devise strategies for the big rollout when the new school year begins in March...Before the laptops, the only cameras the kids at Santiago Apostol school saw in this population-800 hamlet arrived with tourists who visit for festivals or to see local Inca ruins...It's the best answer yet to "a global crisis of education" in which curricula have no relevance, he said. "If we make education pertinent, something the student enjoys, then it won't matter if the classroom's walls are straw or the students are sitting on fruit boxes." (msnbc 2007)
Breaking news Bhutto killing might have been killed by Al Queda...DUH Why is the United States in Iraq fighting, when Al Queada is from the country of Afghanistan which borders Pakistan.
Islamabad (PTI): World wide condemnation poured in on Friday after the assassination of former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto, with leaders urging Islamabad to move forward with the democratic process. The two-time prime minister of Pakistan was killed in a suicide attack in Rawalpindi on Thursday just weeks after she returned to the country from eight years in self-exile. (The Hindu 2007)
Is the current prime minister Muhammad Mian Soomro or the current president Pervez Musharraf who enacted martial law to keep his power earlier in the year not suspect, They both have alot to lose by Benazir Bhutto Returning to the country and possibly be re-elected by Pakistan Peoples Party. One thing about suicide attacks, the blame automatically can be placed on a terrorist group and the attacker who can't be question. Just a thought or the truth, maybe.
IT IS NOT INHUMANE IF THEIR NOT HUMAN!!!
I was watching Animal Cops: Houston today and I still can't figure out why Michael Vick is in jail for 2 years. They took a horse from a breeder who had left the horse in a stall with another one that repeatedly was taking chucks of skin, fat, and muscle out of its neck. This hole was about 8 inches deep 1 foot tall and a foot and a half wide. There is no way that hole was developed overnight, why didn't the animal police take the owner in custody for animal cruelty? When is it considered inhumane treatment to an animal, people fish and kill the fish by depriving it of air, much like Michael Vick did by choking out a dog. Its a dog, yes it is a mans best friends, but it is not inhumane. DOGS ARE NOT HUMANS, THEY ARE JUST DOGS.
Vick 'EM
Michael Vick He was the leagues poster child, and they turned on him like they didn't know him we he ran into trouble with the law. Fans wanted him to change since the league is a PRIVILEGE. What about college, Virgina Tech made money off of him and gave him a $50,000 dollar education. That would be nice but he made that school millions and a recruiting lift. They would have no chance to make it to the Atlantic Coast Conference without the booster support from his work on the field.
Michael Vick got a head start on a possible long prison stretch Monday, surrendering three weeks before he was to be sentenced for his involvement in a bloody dogfighting ring. MSNBC<
Why would anyone go to jail the week of Thanksgiving? The judge is going to feel bad for you giving up your Thanksgiving holiday, for justice and time served. Would it make that much of a difference to go in 2 days from now after dinner. Maybe he is just trying to stay out of trouble, or anymore Ron Mexico Sightings.
JFK hates baby kittens
Authorities at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport began rounding up wild cats and kittens on Monday as part of a plan to get rid of them, despite an outcry by animal rights groups. MSNBC
so it is okay for the government to kill animals, but Michael Vick is a felon for killing dogs? If people would listen to Bob Barker JFK wouldnt have a cat problem, "Help control the pet population; have your pet spayed or neutered"
More Bob Barker, and bad contestents.
How did she win, that is amazing
Take a picture it will last longer Seriously they might be gone in a couple years.
Giant pandas are being forced to move from a remote mountainous area in southwestern China due to food shortages as their staple bamboo withers, an animal expert said Monday.
Most of the pandas' favorite arrow bamboo in a 217,000 square-mile region of Sichuan province is going through a once-in-60-year cycle of flowering and dying before regenerating, said Yang Xuyu, deputy head of the province's Wild Animal Preservation Station.ABC NEWSChina
