N. Korean rocket could potentially hit half the U.S

I must say this North Korean situation continues to become more ominous as the days go by. From what I can see, taking in the whole world picture the situation is such that this could be a prelude to WWIII if it is not handled correctly. All the elements seem to be in place, I just hope no one clicks the trigger!!!!

(2nd LD) N. Korean rocket could potentially hit half the U.S.: American scientists

By Sam Kim
SEOUL, July 1 (Yonhap) — The long-range rocket North Korea launched in April could be converted into a ballistic missile capable of striking half of the

continental U.S., two American physicists have concluded in a joint study.

North Korea launched on April 5 what it claims was a rocket designed to carry a satellite into orbit. The U.S. and its allies say nothing entered orbit, calling the “Unha-2″ rocket a disguised ballistic missile capable of flying over 6,700km. More…

My Attendance Slip

A while back I came across an interesting blog by way of a comment that was left on my post” Where exactly is home now?” by the author of that blog, My Attendance Slip.  Here is that comment:

I feel sad for your country. I am a Filipino, and I can relate to this. The Philippines was given to US by Spain after the Spanish-American war and even though we gained our independence after world war 2, we were never able to stand up again and truly release ourselves from the grip of foreign powers.

Those who live in Puerto Rico can certainly relate to this as, in a way we share a similar history. However, it is not of that post that I am writing about but of the blog My Attendance Slip itself. I started dropping in on that blog and checking out the various posts and found them to be interesting. Interesting in that it portrays the life of a working Philippino nurse in a country on the other side of the world and you get to see the similarities and differences between our cultures. Check out some of the posts regarding work and you begin to see what I mean.
The blog merit’s a visit if not several and most certainly a link in your blogroll if you are a blogger.

But her postings on international affairs, Spanish politics and old age quickly turned her into a celebrity, attracting followers around the world. You can view her blog Here.

NEWS ALERT FOR NEW YORKERS ONLY

Because of a recent scare and freak out for some here in NYC when a plane flew too low for comfort and nobody knew why, I just received this advisory from my job and I wanted to share with you:
NYPD provided information regarding a military aircraft flyover that will occur on May 20, 2009 at 11:45 A.M. The flyover is part of the Fleet Week festivities and will include four military planes flying over New York City at a low altitude.

At approximately 11:45 A.M., four F-18 Hornets will pass over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge at an altitude of 2000 feet. The aircrafts will then turn and follow the Hudson River north over the assembled fleet while decreasing their altitude to 1000 feet. When the F-18s reach Pier 90, they will climb to 2500 feet and higher, exiting New York City airspace over the George Washington Bridge.

Permisos rápidos si son permisos verdes

Comunicado de Prensa

Fri May 8, 2009 17:25 San Juan, Viernes 8 de mayo de 2009

Permisos rápidos si son permisos verdes –  - La aceleración del proceso de permisos requerirá de “dejar atrás el desparrame urbano y de hacer de toda nuestra construcción una “verde”, indicó Rogelio Figueroa, Presidente de Puertorriqueños por Puerto Rico. “Muchos de los retrasos en el proceso de permisos actual surgen del modelo de construcción fundamentado en el desparrame urbano, que requiere grandes cantidades de nuevo terreno, energía, agua y automóviles. Por su naturaleza, la construcción desparramada crea choques con aquellos que se preocupan por la agricultura, el ambiente, los abastos de agua, la producción de energía, la salud y el valor escénico de nuestros paisajes. Estos choques, que serán cada vez más frecuentes por el creciente grado de conciencia ambiental en la población, retrasarán la construcción de obras y reducirán el impacto positivo de la industria de la construcción en la economía”. Figueroa continuó indicando que “Estos choques se reducirán si nos enfocamos en la reconstrucción de nuestros pueblos y ciudades existentes mediante segundas plantas y la remodelación o construcción de edificaciones “verdes”. La reconstrucción no requiere terrenos nuevos, por lo que terrenos necesarios para la agricultura y la producción de energía se mantienen. Las edificaciones y casas “verdes” en áreas urbanas no requieren infraestructura de agua o energía adicional, por lo que su impacto es mínimo. Si los permisos de construcción se coordinan para que las nuevas construcciones tengan accesible un sistema de transporte colectivo a nivel isla, usando guaguas, se podrán construir decenas de miles de viviendas y facilidades comerciales nuevas sin prácticamente ningún impacto negativo colateral y con permisos que se pueden conceder en cuestión de días en lugar de años. La construcción “verde” es construcción rápida”, terminó diciendo el también consultor en ambiente y energía. Contacto: Carlos Alberto Velázquez López – 787-360-1981
