One life isn’t enough.........
04.15.08 (10:07 pm)   [edit]

Up there I view myself roaming about clouds,

Betting on self for racing with birds.

All the mighty and small,

I see as equal, as pictures roll.

One life isn’t enough, dear...

There’s so much to do before the world see my rear!

Down there I view myself dipping deep and deep,

I touch; I feel those slimy cute fish,

Red and blue and green,

Making rainbows with each bubble they throw.

One life isn’t enough, dear...

There’s so much to do before the world see my rear!

Walking through knee length grasses,

Breeze whispers into my ears, their dreams.

I close my eyes gently,

And feel the voice of silence.

One life isn’t enough, dear...

There’s so much to do before the world see my rear!

I see my parents walk through the street,

Head held high, no lines on forehead.

Tears of happiness rolling down their cheeks,

Of living their life and got salvation in me.

One life isn’t enough, dear...

There’s so much to do before the world see my rear!

Fingers intermingled, pace too slow to reach,

Moonlight sparkling the waves as they kiss our feet.

I met myself inside out,

Wishing each moment to stand still.

One life isn’t enough, dear...

There’s so much to do before the world see my rear!

I hear children cry, mothers scream,

“Raise us up; give us a hug of love,”

All they need is a tiny portion of my life,

But here I am to give you my whole.

One life isn’t enough, dear...

There’s so much to do before the world see my rear!


 
Creative Education
04.06.08 (10:36 pm)   [edit]
Teachers should use controversial subject matter as a stimulus to thinking, not shy away from them. A school board in Kentucky a few years ago stated that certain subject matters (such as evolution, sexual education, and AIDS) should be kept out of the classroom because they are too "upsetting" to the students. On the contrary, I think that if students do not move a bit out of their comfort zone at least once a week, they are not receiving a good education. Education is about challenging one's ideas and opening them up to scrutiny. A student's ideas may or may not withstand such scrutiny, but either way the student will benefit from the challenge.
 
Good Bad Music
04.06.08 (10:23 pm)   [edit]

This week, American Idol—a show that already takes itself very seriously—takes it even more seriously with Idol Gives Back.  The theme is about what inspires you.  Well, this is VFTW.  What inspires VFTW is the tuneless, the tasteless, and the terrible: bad music.  And I mean bad in the best possible way.   

There is an outrageous, kitschy appeal in bad music.  Many people who visit VFTW don’t understand this, so it’s time to bridge the gap and open some minds.  It doesn’t have to be pretentious.  It doesn’t even have to be in tune to be entertaining.   

 
FDA OKs New Rotavirus Vaccine
04.05.08 (4:17 am)   [edit]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a second oral vaccine for the prevention of rotavirus, an

The Rotarix vaccine is a liquid and given in a two-dose series to infants from 6 to 24 weeks of age.

Rotavirus causes an estimated 2.7 million cases of gastroenteritis in U.S. children each year -- and about 55,000 to 70,000 of those children require hospitalization. Between 20 and 60 deaths are attributed to the infection. Without vaccination, nearly every child in the United States would likely be infected at least once with rotavirus by age 5, the FDA said in its late-Thursday announcement infection that causes vomiting and diarrhea in infants and children.

Australia to begin carbon capture
04.02.08 (12:47 am)   [edit]

Australia's first underground carbon storage facility has opened in the southern state of Victoria.

The geo-sequestration plant, the only one in the Southern hemisphere, will capture CO2 from a power station and store it 2km below the surface.

Researchers believe the pilot scheme will help Australia make deep cuts to its greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmentalists, though, are not convinced that the technology is appropriate.
