Article from Washington Post which explains how government is allegedly simplifying grant applications. Should note only Microsoft users can make use of system. Company doing work was part of IBM (which has now been purchased by Chinese firm) located in Canada.

Now we ask what about keeping jobs in this country? With automotive plants closed and folks being retrained why send the possible work outside of the country?
Noticed the trend for non US goods as far back as 1991 when government agencies were obtaining goods from China and other countries. No wonder there are so many unemployed and under employed.

NASHVILLE
Linn arrived safely which is more important than you realize. Her wonky back and Libby breaking ankle are only the latest in a series of misadventures.
Their fans have positive thoughts for the rest of the year. Seems some years just do not provide good vibes.
Big snow in the East will not impact Nashville show. Most folks arrived early and are safely tucked up.
Good luck to all in showing off new goodies.

BIRD FLU
Just keeps spreading into every country without a pause. What are health officials doing? Talking as usual without any progress. Should not the wealthy countries help the poorer to accomplish protection of all people? Guess the old help thy neighbor is on hold. Perhaps if folks spent more time helping each other there would be less time for bad acts.
Keep a positive outlook bird flu will be contained on all contients without a massive outbreak.

SUPER BOWL SADNESS
Truly disappointed in outcome and have finally rallied enough to face the world. Had a hope the Seahawks would not be jinked by odds makers. So much for that hope.
Knew at end of first half outcome so started watching a poker marathon for distraction. Poker is the in thing today like pet rocks one wonders how long it will last.
Danish embassies and people are getting a bum rap over some cartoon that appeared over 5 months ago. Guess some folks would rather fight than accept an apology.

20 YEAR WAR PROGRAM
Why is Rumsfeld setting forth a 20 year war program? Does the economy need the boost? I find this unsettling to say the least.
This year is not starting out with an optimistic look. Life has been good to myself and friends thus far. However thought of ongoing war program is not healthy. I thought we had a victory several years ago.
Anyway weather is great. Traffic picked up with weathr visitors who will be going home a little late this year because groundhogs saw their shadows.
