Mariana Bridi da Costa Tragedy

Mariana Bridi da Costa

Tragedy sorrounds Mariana Bridi da Costa. The Miss World Finalist had her hands and feet amputated after contracting a serious urinary tract infection. She had become sick on December 30 but was misdiagnosed with Kidney Stones.

The Herald report adds, "Bridi was diagnosed with a infection by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, which can often prove fatal. Septicemia set in in her limbs, cutting off circulation and forcing doctors to amputate."

This is a sad a terrible tragedy. This doesn't take away her beauty as she is still a very pretty woman, but she will not be able to compete in the Miss World competition that she had been a finalist for. I feel bad for her having to go through something like this, not only can she no longer compete, she is missing hands and feet due to lack of technology. If doctors had diagnosed her correctly, she wouldn't be going through this.

Straight Up Lyrics

straight up, straight up paula abdul lyrics, rick springfield, paula abdul, urgent lyrics

Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm moving way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say--bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

Chorus cont.

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

Chorus out

John Thaine once a Merrill Lynch CEO is now leaving Bank Of America

John Thain sold Merrill Lynch to Bank Of America in September 2008. He agrees to leave after Merrill Lynch brought in a 15.4 billion dollar loss forcing Bank Of America to seek more money from the Government.

In recent news, Bank Of America had got money from the government to keep them in business. Is Bank Of America on the verge of collapse?

I would say no.

A bank which is convenient for anyone traveling or moving can't go out of business and the government of the U.S. will do whatever it takes to save the actual BANK OF AMERICA!

jay mcgwire

Jay McGwire calling out his brother? Mark McGwire is a player sorrounded with controversy. He has tried to get into the hall of fame for the past three years but doesn't recieve a high enough vote. Does he deserve it?

Well for one thing not many guys hit over 500 homeruns which Mark McGwire did. He also held the homerun record for a single season with 70. He was one of the best players in the season during his time, and helped lead the Athletics to the World Series. He did strike out a lot, and he wasn't the best defensive player in the league. Many guys have made the Hall of Fame despite not being a good defensive player. He was one of the better players of his time and always topped in homeruns, but does he deserve to be in the hall? Jay McGwire probably doesn't think so.

Jay McGwire came out and said his brother Mark took Andro, Steroids, and HGH during his career. Im glad Jay McGwire isn't my brother. He wanted to get these things out and wants Mark McGwire to live in what he calls "freedom."

One thing - At the time Mark McGwire took Andro, it was a legal substance and there is no evidence he took it after it became illegal. Another, Mark McGwire isn't the only guy who takes steroids in the league and I can bet about 60% of baseball players have taken steroids at one point in their lives.

Jay McGwire is an idiot, and Mark McGwire, although some may call a cheater, deserves to be in the hall of fame because he would have been a remarkable player whether he took steroids or not, it takes more than steroids to have a great career in baseball.

Jeff Kent to Retire

One time MVP Jeff Kent is going to retire and hang up his uniform. He is the all-time leader in homeruns at the second base position and is most likely a hall of famer due to an impressive baseball resume. He is expected to announce Thursday at Dodgers Stadium.

Kent is now 40 and is a 5 time all-star. He was an all star 5 times. He is one of the best 2nd basemen to play the game and he was great on and off the field. He was the MVP in 2000 and helped bring the San Fransico Giants to the World Series in which they eventually lost.



Although he was a very angry baseball player and many people to not like him, it is hard to keep him out of the hall of fame.
