News From Around The World.

Today is news from around the world.

Let's start with a kind of frightening article about something that went on and is probably going on right here in the United States.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_fbi_cheating;_ylt=AsIrFWmnK7IW.16bFzIIuzes0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNqbzl2OTduBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwOTI3L3VzX2ZiaV9jaGVhdGluZwRjY29kZQNtb3N0cG9wdWxhcgRjcG9zAzYEcG9zAzMEcHQDaG9tZV9jb2tlBHNlYwN5bl9oZWFkbGluZV9saXN0BHNsawNyZXBvcnRzaWduaWY-

That makes me shake my head in fear. These are people we entrust to enforce the law, follow the rules, and protect citizens rights and they cheat on exams? I wouldn't let them take the test over. I'd fire the whole damn bunch. What would you do?

Now we move on to Iran. I'm already upset at computer cheaters because of the problem I had with my email. Now I am even more mad at the hackers:

Forty-five thousand computers were infected and thank goodness most of them were in Iran. Only two percent were in the US. With the virus the hackers invented couldn't they use that virus to shut down nuclear plants in the US? It could make us vulnerable to an attack and one we couldn't respond to. What is your reaction to the article?

Now on to Albania for less frightening stuff. Misguided bank robbers. Always one of my favorite subjects, dumb criminals:

The idiots should have considered the noise the drilling would make and used some kind of silencer. There are silencers for guns, why not drills? Should the courts go easy on the robbers because you can't fix stupid?

That is all for the day. I'm off to get dressed and head out for a business lunch that is about an hour away from home. May this be a really good Monday for you, starting the best of weeks!

WHO AM I?

I was born in China in 1932 and a politician that served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1998 to 2006. I am the great-granddaughter of the founder of the China Inland Mission. As a young girl I was a student at the Chefoo School at Yantai in Shandong, China and spent three years in a Japanese concentration camp at Weifang during World War II where I was liberated by American paratroopers in 1945. Over 50 years late I began to seek out and thank, in person, each of the soldiers who had been involved in liberating the camp. At the age of fourteen I lost my right hand in a revolving saw accident. It didn't stop me as I went on to get both a B.A. and an M.A. Before running for office was the Administrator of Camden County Youth Center for over 20 years. I was the first female president of the New Jersey Juvenile Detention Association. I later would publish a book about my experience at the detention association. The books title will remind you of a starving Caspar and his friends. I have served on the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Advisory Committee, the Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice, the Assembly on the Family, Women and Children's Services Committee (as Chair), the Federal Relations Committee and the Regulated Professions and Independent Authorities Committee. I did not seek reelection to the Assembly in 2005, and was succeeded by a fellow Democrat. Who Am I?
