NFL - PRO BOWL, 2014
Is there any better backdrop to any kind of TV, Movie or sporting event than Hawaii ?? Even in the rain - football is great.
Al Micheals, Chris Collingsworth, coaches and sideline personeel should be wearing - Aloha Shirts - if they need to add neon colors, OK ??? but everyone should be wearing Aloha Shirts, its Hawaii and a special event !!!
Michaels and Collingsworth see...med like cheerleaders, commenting on how much more effort this game had versus the 2012 game, in which, NFL Commissioner Roger Godell, threatened to end the game, if there wasn't more effort. This is the same guy who apparently didn't object to playing the Super Bowl, in New Jersey, in an open aired stadium, now there is talk about changing the day of the game - they can't.
It looks like the defenses have the advantage - so its a low scoring game, maybe they can work to make a more even game, next year. Some of the players, looked like they were playing in slow motion, and some players weren't blocking, as if this wasn't a real game.
NO kickoffs ??? but punting is alright ??? they are both dangerous, why eliminate kick offs...? And the NFL could have tried kicking the extra point on the 5 or 10 yard line, in this game, rather than thinking of eliminating it.
The NFL needs to sell more tickets to fill the stadium, the poor weather, may have player a factor, in the poor turnout, but the empty seats, should be an embarrassment for the NFL and it Hawaiian supporters.

CUBA - OBAMA - OPEN TRAVEL NOW
CUBA - PRESIDENT OBAMA - OPEN TRAVEL TO CUBA - NOW, TODAY....January, 2014
President Obama shock the World !!! Open travel, tourism, economic development to Cuba - Unilaterally today - Now...
Boycotting Cuba hasn't worked for over 50 years, Fidel Castro, the last of the larger than life world leaders from the Cold War, in enfebbled, his brother, Raul, is now in charge and elderly. President Obama was criticized for shaking his hand at the United Nations, but he did what he has preached - engagement, not War... the US must take the first step, like Nixon did in China, Open Cuba to the US economy, let the US markets / business reform Cuba, free its people from Castro(s)- let the Cuban community reunite with families that have been divided.
It could be one of President Obama's signature events in his legacy, and it would be
good for all, even the Republican / Tea Party members would eventually see the wisdom of such an effort, as US businesses rush in - where they should have been, all these years.
President Obama - Just Do It.
2ND POST:
For over 50 years - the USA has boycotted Cuba, with a misguided policy that a boycott would bring down Fidel Castro and his regime.
Well after 50 years, by any measure this policy has been a failure - Fidel and Raul Castro remain in power and the Cuban people suffer - frozen in time.
President Obama has taken small steps - but he must declare an unilateral end to the boycott of Cuba - and Open Cuba to all Americans who wish to travel and/or reunite with family and friends. No restrictions - let American bring their dollars and voices of freedom - let the Cuban people begin to feel the freedom - even if Fidel and Raoul benefit, in the short run.
A program on CNBC (Escape from Havana:An American Story)about 14,000 children secretly flown out of Cuba in the 1960's and their stories is a compelling story of survival and of the failure of US policy.
These children now seniors - some feel Cuba must be open and that American policy, that they once supported, is wrong - and the USA must open trade and travel to Cuba.

Memo to President Bush,
Cuban President Fidel Castro has resigned his position today, now Raoul Castro is in charge, officially.
It is a psychological event, a time for change, transition time - even though Raoul has been in charge, this is an opening, an opportunity to take advantage of...
President Bush - Open Cuba to travel by US citizens, open it to economic aid, to all Americans - SHOCK THE WORLD, as President Nixon did with China. Don't let this opportunity slip through the cracks of ideaology.
Now is the time to OPEN Cuba to the world.

GEORGE CUSHINGBERRY, DETROIT COUNCILMAN MUST GO..
George Cushingberry, Jr should resign...from Detroit City Council
George Cushingberry Jr, was stopped by Detroit Police Officers, and their are three versions of the event - including: location, police chase, contents of the car, but he has charged 'police profiling'...there is agreement that their was a stong odor of marijuana (from a friend in the car with a marijuana medical card)...
"Profiling"...yet the officers (one who may have been black) 'were so far behind him that they couldn't have seen if he was using a turn signal' - then they would be to far behind to profile the driver or any passengers !!!
Cushingberry is a 'stink bomb' on the Council waiting to go off - and he maybe sizzling with his 'go to to he...ll' (Detroit News statement) and now this traffic incident.
If their was a delay in confronting Cushingberry, by the officers - it could have been they were waiting on a response from their computer, with information about the car and license plate, and / or they were contacting dispatch, informing them - of the situation. Detroit Police officers should not be denigrated for doing their jobs.
The Detroit City Council needs to be a hard working exemplary group, working together to 'move Detroit forward' - already Cushingberry is a bad distraction - and its only going to get worse...
Council member Jenkins had every right, when asked for a comment to give one - and she would have made a better Detroit City Council President than Brenda Jones.
PC Craig needs to get the investigation - correct - he cannot be seen as giving special favors to politicians, and neither should the Detroit Police Department
Detroit Police officers don't need another Detroit 'political leader ?' creating a controversy over their actions - we are in Bankruptcy and are being offered 17c on the dollar to take away our health benefits. DPD have suffered pay cuts, poor equipment, poor training and poor executive leadership for years upon years. Newly appointed Police Chief James Craig, had spent months correcting the mistakes and errors of previous police chiefs and is trying to put DPD on the right path to fight crime - Detroit, the Chief and the Department do not need Cushingberry, acting badly and then trying to shame DPD...The TRUTH must be told and if Cushingberry was wrong - then he should accept responsibilty and apologize and change his behavior patterns.
