Update: August 2016 Tim Tebow Role Model For Millions of People
The former NFL quarterback and current ESPN broadcaster Tim Tebow is entering into a career in professional baseball and plans to hold a workout for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams later in August of 2016. Tim Tebow's agents Jimmy Sexton and Nick Khan announced the career change.
*************************************************************
Tim Tebow who admittedly has much to learn about Major League Baseball (MLB) success will do OK hitting ballpark fastballs. Maybe "Home Run Derby" will return to TV and Tim Tebow can "wack 'em with the best"?
*************************************************************
The "expert guessers" have been checking out Tim Tebow's chances of succeeding in pro baseball, and Buster Olney shared a story about a pro football player who tried a similar tack.
*************************************************************
Tim Tebow's football agent,Sexton, presently communicating with CAA baseball agent Brodie Van Wagenen have been discussing at length, Tebow's baseball ability since from all indications, Tebow is a "natural".
*************************************************************
Not everybody thinks Tim Tebow is a "natural" for baseball. Sports fan Stark panned Tibow's ENTRY: Tebow in the major leagues? Not a desert snowball's chance?
Tim Tebow got busy with football and playing baseball 11 years ago. Naturally due to fame, he'll get a look and maybe even a spring training invitation to Kisseme Florida or one of the training camps but naysayer Stark (Not IRONMAN) seriously doubted that Tim Tebow would bat and play in a real MLB game. Fergitaboutit he opined. Stark is not a "praying for guidance and success person most likely and thus lacks that "mustard seed" of faith.
*************************************************************
But is Tim Tebow to be the next Michael (Number 23) Jordan? The similarities are of SPORT lEGEND changing sports is there, it's just DIFFERENT when going from FOOTBALL into BASEBALL.
*************************************************************
After speaking with a few MLB scouts and execs, longtime Generl Manager (GM) Jim Bowden spoke up with his opinion from his scouting viewpoint and discussed if he would sign Tim Tebow as a baseball player.
*************************************************************
For almost the past year, Tebow has been training in Arizona and Los Angeles to hone his hitting and fielding skills in a sport he has not played on a full-time basis since 2005.
*************************************************************
Micheal Jordan's baseball experience is not known but Tim Tebow was an all-state baseball player in Florida 11 years ago and hit .494 as a HS junior, assisting Nease High School into the final four of the Florida state high school playoffs. A lot of pro baseball players do not play at all in college.
*************************************************************
"Obviously we support Tim in his pursuit of a baseball career, as we have in all his ventures," said Sexton, Tebow's football agent, who is now working with CAA baseball agent Brodie Van Wagenen.
*************************************************************
"Tim's athletic ability, his work ethic, his leadership and his competitiveness were evident in football and will show in baseball. Knowing Tim's passion and desire, we won't be surprised by anything he accomplishes."
*************************************************************
Tebow, at age 29, has notified his current employer, ESPN, of his wish to pursue a baseball career, but he will finish up or continue his broadcast careers at the ESPNnetwork.
*************************************************************
Tim Tebow, a Heisman Trophy winner, National Football League (NFL) quarterback, South East Conference (SEC) announcer, is an in-demand inspirational speaker.
*************************************************************
Tim Tebow recently authored "Shaken" which will be released in OCTOBER of 2016.

From Tim Tebow:
*************************************************************
"Life isn’t easy. We all experience the ups and downs of relationships, career, and choices. Some of our best plans go awry. Lifelong dreams don’t come true. People fail us, and we fail others too. Maybe worst of all is the heartbreak of rejection."
*************************************************************
I have been very fortunate to experience great wins in life, but I’ve had my share of losses too.
*************************************************************
What I have learned is that you can’t predict what may come your way. So to protect your identity and stay grounded, you need a solid foundation. I have found that steady place in a person–Jesus Christ. He has never let me down.
*************************************************************
No matter what challenges come my way, no matter what people think or say about me, no matter the source of my doubts or fears, I’m sure of one thing: Jesus will never leave my side. In this book, through glimpses of my life and others who have impacted me, I share how you, too, can face circumstances that may leave you shaken. With Jesus by your side, you don’t have to fear the future; you can live with purpose and be changed by Love.

UPDATE Dec 2015
Capers anyone? Our illustrious President Obama has a MILLION of them. Taking a cue from Clinton Crime Syndicate, Obama pulls stunt after stunt while the opposition is had charging to keep up with several STUNTS back...
The opposition was hard pressed to react, retaliate, roll-with punches under Clinton 1 now the Party of
"What-Me-Worry", being quite shameless as well as riding rough-shod over all sorts of government "checks-and-balances. Unfortunately all this LAWLESS,SHAMELESS monkey-business has only encouraged so MUCH MORE LAWLESS,SHAMELESS monkey-business - that the COURTS are FULL of FRESH-CAUGHT PERPETRATORS.
*************************************************************
Instead of CONTROVERSIAL ANNUAL PARDONS...Obama decided to "GIVE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING" as lots of RELEASED CRIMINALS. Americans were told NOT TO WORRY...these are, for the most part, low-level non-violent DRUG offenders! Why a website even BRAGGED about offering 232 jobs for felons...
*************************************************************
And WHY NOT? Just because it INSULT TO INJURY that thousands of DO-RIGHT-UNEMPLOYED Americans with SPOTLESS records CANNOT FIND work and MILLIONS of illegals prowl the day labour site and neighborhood looking for odd jobs and yard work, which shuts down college students looking to pick up a few dollars and GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
*************************************************************
Guys like Sean Hannity frequently mention that they WORKED THEIR WAY through higher education, they THINK SUGGESTS that others do the same. Well...some with CONNECTIONS can do just that...others can WORK FOR RELATIVES and neighbors but many "fall thru the cracks" because their families have FEW if ABY "CONNECTIONS". Throw in some of that "affirmative action" and VIOLA!...poor but intelligent, hard-working YT has FEW if any opportunities.
*************************************************************
For a president who claims occasionally to be ON OUR SIDE, Obama certainly seems concerned with people "PICKING ON" his favorite "JV Team" ISIL as he respectfully calls ISIS.The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, IPA /ˈaɪsəl/), الدولة الإسلامية في العراق والشام alternatively translated the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) If one observes his facial expressions, he almost seems PROUD of them.
*************************************************************
It became known that Obama is pro-Palestinian, so ISIS must be "scratching THAT ITCH" rather well for Obama.
*************************************************************
In Farsi or Arabic, ISIS is known as Al-Dawla Al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham, or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. The term “al-Sham” refers to Iraq and a region stretching from southern Turkey through Syria to Egypt which also includes Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jordan. The group’s stated goal is to restore an Islamic state, or caliphate, in this huge area.
*************************************************************
HMMM...Obama does as he pleases...ISIS does as it pleases.
*************************************************************
Obama has reminded Americans counting on Congress to STOP a few CAPERS and STUNTS, that he has a PEN and a PHONE.
*************************************************************
Obama: "ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. (NOTHING NEW THERE...since Moslims have been killing Moslims for CENTURIES beginning with Mohammad's relatives who WOULD HAVE competed with "POWERS THAT WERE") And ISIL is certainly not a state; it was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government nor by the people it subjugates."(Yet, entire countries TRADING WITH ISIS have BENEFITED although not necessarily GLOATING when ISIS publicly MURDERS all sorts of people, gays, men, women and children.
*************************************************************
As if to ASSIST ISIS and Syrian terrorists, Obama has swiftly moved to ship in THOUSANDS of unvetted and QUITE SCARY Moslims some of whom Americans are NOW aware, HAVE PHONY PASSPORTS because passport offices were taken over in SYRIA. It now appears as if Obama wanted to RUSH THESE PEOPLE IN VERY QUICKLY before the PRESS could WARN THE PUBLIC about PHONY PASSPORTS! What could the HURRY have been ABOUT unless to DO SOMETHING RASH...
Two ISIS-inspired German Muslims have as of Dec.15,2015, gone on trial, accused of an Islamic State-inspired plot to blow up Israel’s embassy in Berlin.
Even if Russian and whomever pilots take out EMPTY OIL TRUCKS to prevent OIL being sold, a small but powerful contingent of ISIS tax collectors throughout Islamic State occupied territory is making sure that oil is NOT the only source of income flowing into terrorists’ coffers, reporters discover.
*************************************************************
In the aftermath of the Paris Massacre by ISIS, Obama seemed pre-occupied with the Climate Change Summit which was also in Paris later. We are told AGAIN...not to worry...NOT MUCH DAMAGE was done by any agreements schemed up by these characters at the conference. YEAH, SURE, they said the same thing about Agenda 21 and look at all the damage THAT MESS WROUGHT! The UN was empowered to PULL ALL SORTS OF STUNTS without even asking CONGRESS or the President about ANYTHING...

Ebola, Security Breaches,Pedophile Bait Floods Border NAMBLA Rewarded
NOW as 2014 draws to an end $3.5 TRILLION was spent mostly on %@%#$%^&*:
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
EBOLA IN AMERICA. Obama says "let them all land and get off jets from Ebola-stricken lands in Africa. Sickness spreads, panic ensues.
SECURITY BREACHES AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Guy gets on elevator with Obama unknown to security.
WAVES OF
UNACCOMPANIED MINORS AND OTHERS POURING ACROSS OUR NATION’S
BORDERS SICK, not yet presenting SYMPTOMS ILLEGALS get sent to PHONE NUMBERS ON THEIR UNDERWEAR.The Daily Show Reminds Us that NAMBLA is a Joke? - YouTube THE DAILY SHOW IS BLOWING SMOKE111 RUNNING DISINFO TO AID AND ABET NAMBLA. Who put Jon Stewart up to this? bring children's diseases that kill American children of all races. 24 states are suing Obama over immigration. Namely...Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
THE RUSSIAN RED ARMY ON THE MOVE, MARCHING INTO PEACEFUL,
DEMOCRATIC NATIONS like Ukraine.
IRAQ IN TURMOIL WITH OIL FIELDS PUMPING MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS A DAY INTO THE JIHADIST ACTIVITIES OF RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS like ISIS terrorists.
OUR NATION’S HEROES BEING KILLED, NOT BY ENEMY COMBATANTS, BUT BY
THE VERY VETERANS’ HEALTH SYSTEM SET UP TO CARE FOR THEM.
AND THERE are homeless veterans in the streets and suffering in hospitals that give them minor medicines for MAJOR PAINS.
1) There were $19,000,000 in paid "junket vacations" for bureaucrats gone wild then reaping "paid leave" for their drunken driving, etc but then for some "wild" is NATURAL for them.
2) Taxpayers footed the bill for Swedish massages for 12 rascally rabbits and Elmer Fudded away a lot of ca$h. Only $387,000. Do you suppose some Senators received Swedish massages from Playboy bunnies out of this money?
3) For $414,000 the US Army got a first-person shooter game that the "Intelligence" Community frets maybe, possibly, could train terrorists. later, it was been determined that Muslim terrorist group Hezbolah DOES use a copy of the game to train its suicide "martyr" terrorists to kill Americans and anyone else they dislike.
4) Scientists also were PAID to place THREE mountain lions on treadmills for over $856,000 to learn "about their hunting techniques?" One can fathom mountain lion hunting techniques from watching them on treadmills about the time that the proverbial monkeys emerge from Obama's health care oriface. Monkeys and cows exercised on treadmills in OTHER STUDIES but taxpayer funding made it all possible. PREVIOUSLY, perhaps during 2013, they had placed live SHRIMP, yes -- the kind people EAT...on treadmills "in order to see if TIRED SHRIMP were less healthy! A gold-plated fish hook is MY treadmill and I eat the live bait if I catch no fish that day!
Hopefully, after "jogging" up a hunger, the mountain lions did not EAT a jogger like the poor woman in California.
5) An anti-terror grant of ca$h $200,000 paid for State-of-the-Art SWAT equipment for what is known as the safest Podunk, small town in America. All over the USA, even a small town coroner NOT IN HARMS WAY -- got military weapons and an armored vehicle left over from the Iraq War which has never really ended.
6) $2,000,000 was spent on SHEEP experiments in "DEVOID,Idaho. Who was "interacting" with the sheep? Must have been a Muhammad1-abode of a "party". Do they know that certain Muslims prefer to associate with GOATS? Will they study GOATS and the STARING AT THEREOF -- NEXT YEAR?
7) A paid $331,000 government study determined that
spouses stab voodoo dolls more often when “Hungry”. Why not MAIL OUT voodoo dolls of top longest ruling Senators sent out to angry constituants for FREE? Recipiants would be "more than happy" as in "over-joyed" to
report how nay jabs on which Senator and at WHAT time and day. Senators could LEARN FIRST HAND and DEBUNK VOODOO personally for all of personkind. UNLESS THEY THINK VOODOO WORKS...? Think of the JOY that taxpayers who enjoy imagining Senator Chucky Schumer get VOODOO LESSONS...would get! Think of all the VOTES
Senator Schumer could get by passing out VOODOO DOLLS that resemble himself.
Are Senators afraid that voodoo MIGHT work?
Instead of TEACHING spouses to stab voodoo dolls why not let them SHOW HOW MODERN and UN-SUPERSTITIOUS SENATORS ARE?
8) Scientists of National Science Foundation grabbed $171,000 in the vain hope that a study on gambling and VIDEO GAMING of monkeys will unlock the secrets of free will with a GOOFY paid study
that allows scientists to "play with monkeys and get PAID".
9) Subsidies paid out to build new sports stadiums leave taxpayers "footing the bill helping out wealthy Democrats who own sports teams.
10)
A teen zombie sings and tries to get a date for a dance in a romantic comedy that cost $10,000 when idiots in US gov't paid for what they could watch on Youtube FOR FREE until their eyeballs fell out.
11. $80 million was spent attempting to develope an "Iron Man" suit. Senator Schumer...CALL YOUR OFFICE...Was Hollywood consulted? An Iron Man suit prototype could spare a lot of cash that could go on the rocket and weaponry and life support of the Iron Man suit. BTW Australian robbers already wore IRON and deflected BULLETS when approaching the POLICE. Police, being independent people, would not co-operate by only shooting at the IRON so HEADS, HANDS, and other body parts got shot...ending all the robbers' "FUN."

Portuguese producer David Rebordão created a popular internet video featuring a fictional White Lady. The video consists of supposedly "recovered footage" found at the scene of a fatal car accident, near Sintra, Portugal. In the video, a woman and two young men are shown taking a car trip to the mountains. One passenger records the trip with a video camera. While driving along the road, the travelers spot a strange female hitchhiker, whom they pick up. The passenger with the camera focuses on the hitchhiker, who seems strangely quiet, but says her name is Teresa, and states that she has not been the same since her accident. She then points out a spot on the road where she says she died. She suddenly turns to the camera and screams, showing her face, which is now apparently badly scarred and bloody and vanishes immediately. The car, according to reports, was found flipped on its side, killing two of the travelers. According to the text at the end of the video, police investigating the accident found that a girl named Teresa Fidalgo died in a car accident in 1983 at that very spot. Many viewers considered the video an imitation of The Blair Witch Project.[13] The producer, David Rebordão, admits this, explaining the story's fabrication on his website.[14] Rebordão confirmed, in an interview with Júlia Pinheiro (channel TVI) that the story was fictional, and that he had created the character himself. He stated that he was very surprised at the notoriety the story has achieved all over the world.

The DNC Chairman/Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in 2012 conducted a voice vote of the delegates on the proposed platform changes, asking for yeses and nos three times because the responses sounded similar. A two-thirds vote was required to adopt the change. In spite of apparently dominant athiests' clear opposition, Villaraigosa declared the amendment had passed, prompting very loud angry booing.
The changes put back language from the 2008 platform that stated “we need a government that stands up for the 1) hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their 2) God-given potential” and of 3) Jerusalem, “it is and will remain the capital of Israel.”(1)
The booing could not have been about the word GOVERNMENT, how about 1) "hopes,values and interests of WORKING PEOPLE"? DID
THAT string of SEVEN words set off the wild and crazy BOOING?
Or was it 2) "God-given potential” and of 3)Jerusalem, “it is and will remain the capital of Israel.”
Democrat and GOP Athiests do not like "GOD" and want Him EID'd,DCd, and booted out of Christmas.
Israel haters do not like JERUSALEM and want it all Arab, the Jews driven into Mediterranean, and BONES of Jews dug up and thrown into the Mediterranean Sea.
"driven into Mediterranean Sea" implied killed and/or live fed to fish and it is long written since 800 AD or so that Arabs want Jew BONES dug up and thrown into the Mediterranean Sea.
“The DNC leaders like L.A. Mayor DNC chairman Antonio Villaraigosa in 2012 expected their people to just go along. They did not mindlessly just go along since about half of them, the good, decent common sense Democrats, half of them said, yes, put that "hopes, values and interests of working people- God and Jerusalem back in. The other half, the militant half, said "NO WAY do we want THAT STUFF back in".
Apparently the militant half just went along to get along despite values, God, and Jerusalem being in the Democrat National Committee platform.
WHAT exactly is a Democrat? Political science says that structurally in the Democratic Party power flows upward like an "up" flushing toilet.
That is a good anology considering the people the DNC dredges off the bottom layer of life - to run for president.
But in the Republican Party power is said to flow downward. The second is an attitude factor as Republicans generally see themselves as insiders even when they are out of power and Democrats perceive themselves as outsiders even when they are in power. A leftist was heard to exclaim as US military jets flew overhead at Bill Clinton's POTUS inaugural in 1992,"Those are OUR planes now!"
Before that,in Ronald Reagan's acceptance speech at the 1984 Republican Convention he declared that the Democrats' "government sees people only as a members of groups. Ours serves all the people of America as individuals."
Intended as a stinging criticism of the Democrats, and they would cry, whail and moan that it is inaccurate, it does explain an essential difference between the two parties.
This does not necessarily apply to Democrat and GOP governments.
In a general population when power flows downward, separate and distinct internal groups are potentially dangerous, giving focus to the development of competing loyalties and competing leadership.
This is why the GOP Establishment hates and tries to breakup, minimize and infiltrate the Tea Parties. German sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties mentioned that in a representative democracy, "It is organization which gives birth to the dominion of the elected over the electors, of the mandataries over the mandators, of the delegates over the delegators. Who says organization, says oligarchy." (4)
This is why America has a representative republic as famously described by founding father, Benjamin Franklin.
But for upward power flow, it must go through some mechanism. Divided and with blanket condemnation as racists, unorganized individuals without institutional authority or financial resources cannot exercise power. They must organize into groups like the Tea Party of Locality in order to develop an agenda and act collectively in order to effect that agenda or platform PLANK. It is the organization that creates concetrated collective power and the mechanism by which followers influence their leaders.
As the Democrat Party, being composed of constituencies which identify themselves as having a defining characteristic creating a common agenda. Each feels the DNC must respond to their PLANK. Most of these groups exist in an organized form independent of the DNC and attempts to "do" its plank or ideology on the elected officials of both parties. Essentially they do not care if a GOP leader responds to them, they will still vote Democrat. They are thus recognized by Democrat Party officials as representing the interests of important blocs of voters which the DNC should but may not respond to as a political party. Some groups like blacks and labor have been recognized parts of the Democrat coalition since the FDR's New Deal of the late 1930s and 1940s while others are relatively newcomers like women and gays. Others that played a small part in State and local Democratic politics have not been active as organized groups in the DNC on the national level such as ethnics factions. This readily explains the lack of truth, justice and the American way exhibited and exemplified by the Democrat broken promises and Republicans throwing their GOP principals "under the bus" in order to "cave in" for crumbs the Democrats will toss them. Over 40 years of "Go along to get along" gave rise to the mythical "Bob Dole Butte Kissing Lipstick" that in recent years may be perceived as sold by the gross since people like Olympia Snowe and
Democrats LOVE TO SAY that Republican "attacks on social programs were viewed as being aimed at poor" when it is apparently only the GOP that recalls that the GOP voted FOR civil rights with Democrat filibusters and African-Americans formerly owned lots of businesses that have long since been "death taxed" away. Business founders work all their lives to leave a business for the family only to have the family have to SELL THE BUSINESS to pay death taxes.
If people wanted Democrat success in hopelessly changing America for the Bad all would be happy as clams at the Republicans getting prone being collectively laid down. And all would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support Obama. As a matter of fact, what Democrats are all about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible. These government "octopus tentacles" have grabbed into the banking business, the mortgage industry, the automobile business, and wrapped around health care. Who in his right mind would conceivably want the government in charge of all of these things? The government messes up defense with the FBI trying to catch bombers causing the 1993 World Trade Center blow up at a loss of six lives. The US government messes up travel by train with AmTrack unable to pay for itself no matter how much it charges for scarce tickets. Like wise Post Office soaks up higher and higher postage charges while losing MORE and MORE money of governments' from taxpayers paying more taxes AND always MORE for postage. Who would want government takeover to work? So the correct answer to letters begging for replying in 400 words, What do YOU hope for from Obama?" Understandably, actually and factually-- the CORRECT ANSWER WAS FIVE LITTLE WORDS.
"We HAFTA HOPE Obama FAILS".
Pick yourself up off the floor, reader! It is NOT outrageous to say. "We HAFTA HOPE Obama FAILS".
Why and why not? Obama has accomplished MUCH DAMAGE, SO what,exactly is unfair about people WANTING liberalism to fail by CRAVING, WORKING, and SLAVING for Obamacare, amnesty, giveaways and other assorted Obamanations to be GONE? Liberalism is a US problem. Liberalism HOW America got so dangerously close to falling into BANKRUPTSY.
Was Obama SORRY when Standard & Poor’s (S&P), a financial standard, announced August 5,2011 that it downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time, dealing a symbolic blow to the world’s economic superpower in what had to be a sharply worded critique of the American Democrat political system.(3)
Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: Obama's job rating for handling race relations declines - TO BELOW ZERO. Nobody EVER expected ANY PART of a job rating to go BELOW ZERO. Another Obama first!
CRONIBUS wordsmith desperately needs but will nevah get -- that BOOT IN THE REAR. perhaps he is a STONER who wants what CRONIBUS search engines up and cannot smoke enough. The rest of us see that as one more nail in America's coffin. The "they are going to do it anyway - why not tax and regulate it crowd" - IS WRONG. Formerly only beatniks and hippies and jazz musicians partook. Nowadays no thanks to lots of stoned FEARLESS LEADER Pres. Obola pictures of his "supposed to be" ill-spent youth of a ne'er-do well -- who "made good" getting everything handed to him on a silver platter. Free foreign student tuition for Barry Soetoro at Plankton High in Oahu, Hawaii to Accidental Traveler College of the Mainline Land to Columbia Gem o de Ocean U. where nobody remembers him to
Haaaahhhhvaaaahhhhrd Law School,where somebody remembers him -- got a free ride. Had a job under his Connecticut SS at Basket Robbers Chocohaulic Heaven in Oahu briefly at 16 for a month or two. Later after grad with some kind of grades from law harumph...school he worked for a time allegedly at a CIA front organization as his mum proported, profitably and allegedly did.
Although it is a "good line of BS (Bravo Sierra) to say one "gotta be honest" the sayer seldom is being honest about anything unless "spilling the beans" about the U.S. Senate being full o' punks. Even John (No-way-in-hell-I'm-a-gonna-give-up-MY-senate-seat-to-run-for-POTUS)McCain agreed whole or half-heartedly - with the Alfred E. Neuman Democrat Fund Raiser Dinner jocular banter (trujive) of O-man former S-Man, himself.

Tebow Triumphs
It required only one play in overtime for the Denver Broncos to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers at Sunday's Super Bowl 46 in Denver, Colorado. When it was all over, the scoreboard read 29-23 in favor of Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. It was truly a thriller in the Mile High City so named for its altitude abobe sea level of about 5,280 feet.
UPDATE:
Down on the football field, holding his helmet and pointing up toward the heavens, a grateful-to-GOD quarterback named Tim Tebow gave a relieved smile. Tebow Time had struck again, with the aid of an 80-yard pass to wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, long-called a "Hail Mary Pass".
The win over the Pittsburgh Steelers secured a playoff game against the No. 1 ranked New England Patriots in Massachusetts on Saturday, AND the win avalanche, a flock of Twitter kudos for the Broncos’ quarterback. Tim Tebow was an instant top trending hero after the game’s sudden ending termed "sudden death", because unlike basketball, the other team does not have until the end of five minutes to score, it is all over except the crying, wailing and perhaps gnashing of teeth.
THEN:
TIM TEBOW'S ANTI-ABORTION AD GETS MESSAGE ACROSS IN JAN 2010...
In spite of a long-standing refusal to air "political ads" in midst of the Super Bowl, CBS ran an anti-abortion clip starring Heisman Trophy-winning college quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother. In the spot, made by Focus on the Family, Tebow, an outspoken conservative Christian, states his mother had defied her doctor's advice to abort him despite serious concerns about her health and his viability or chances of being born alive. When celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred accused Tebow's mother of lying about the happening, Allred was about to blow a fuse not to mention what was left of her mind. The ballistic, bouncing-off-the-wall outrage over a harmless "Christian, pro-life" ad, says Cassy Fiano in Hot Air, shows just how "completely out of touch" (or mentally deranged) liberals are. I don't care if Tebow's "commercial has a beautiful, undeniable message," says Gregg Doyel in SEE BS Sports. Just don't show it "during the damn Super Bowl." Looks like Tebow put some nutballs over the edge of reality into liberal-land. Did you know that "XERO POPULATION GROWTH" is a New World Order (or ODOR) priority and we wish they would sacrifice themselves and stop promoting baby-killing. You want babies DEAD? Wht not KILL YOURSELF so you will not reproduce? Countries dropping below 1.3 new babies to replace people who DIE, will cease to be the USA, France, and UK because IMMIGRANT births will eclypse theirs and these countries will GO MUSLIM! Sharia Law will replace RIGHTS, Writ of Habias Corpus, etc. This is about as close to HELL ON Earth as we can get.

Sounding Off
I was with a friend in a café when a noisy car alarm interrupted our conversation. "What good are car alarms when no one pays any attention to them?" I wondered aloud.
"Some are quite effective," my friend corrected me. "Last summer, my teenager spent a lot of time at the neighbors’. Whenever I wanted him home, I’d go out to our driveway and jostle his car."
Ugly Remark
Rushing to get to the movies, my husband and I told the kids we had to leave "right now"—at which point our teenage daughter headed for the bathroom to apply makeup. Her dad yelled for her to get in the car immediately, and headed for the garage grumbling.
On the way to the multiplex my husband glanced in the rearview mirror and caught our teen applying lipstick and blush, which produced the predictable lecture. "Look at your mom," he said. "She didn’t put on any makeup just to go sit in a dark movie theater."
From the back I heard, "Yeah, but Mom doesn’t need makeup."
My heart swelling with the compliment, I turned back to thank this sweet, wonderful daughter of mine just as she continued, "Nobody looks at her."
Volume Control
It seemed that all our appliances had broken in the same week, and repairs were straining our budget. So when I picked up the kids from school and our Jeep started making rattling sounds, I decided that rather than burden my husband, I’d deal with it. I hadn’t reckoned on my little tattletales, however. They rushed into the house with the news: "Daddy, the Jeep was breaking down, but Mom made the noise stop!"
Impressed, my husband asked, "How did you fix it?"
"I turned up the volume on the radio," I confessed.
Under the Knife
My sister and I were out on the town one night when we ran into a man I knew. "You’re sisters?" he asked incredulously. "You look nothing alike.
Pointing to her nose and my chin, my sister said, "Different plastic surgeons."
Tattle-Tale
My sister felt she was well prepared for her in-depth interview with several members of the police-academy board who would determine her suitability as a candidate. The first situation they presented to her was: "On routine patrol you see a car traveling at excessive speed, with undue care and attention. You pull it over and discover that the driver is your brother. What do you do?"
Without hesitation she replied, "Tell Mom!"
She was accepted.
Dogs Are People Too!
The dogs next door get a little noisy, so one day somebody called animal control to complain. When the officers arrived, I heard my neighbor tell them, "Hey, dogs bark. It’s human nature."
Liquid Ban
Shortly after the FAA announced the ban on fluids, my husband was stopped by airport security because they found a bottle of water in one of his carry-on bags.
"Sorry," the TSA officer said, tossing the bottle into a bin of confiscated items, "but water is now considered a liquid."
Wrong Kids
One night about 10 p.m., I answered the phone and heard, "Dad, we want to stay out late. Is that okay?"
"Sure," I answered, "as long as you called."
When I hung up, my wife asked who was on the phone.
"One of the boys," I replied. "I gave them permission to stay out late."
"Not our boys," she said. "They’re both downstairs in the basement."
Hidden Spot
Dad is from the old school, where you keep your money under the mattress—only he kept his in the underwear drawer. One day I bought my dad an unusual personal safe—a can of spray paint with a false bottom—so he could keep his money in the workshop. Later I asked Mom if he was using it.
"Oh, yes," she replied, "he put his money in it the same day."
"No burglar would think to look on the work shelf!" I gloated.
"They won’t have to," my mom replied. "He keeps the paint can in his underwear drawer."
Grandmother Approved
Even with a thousand games, dolls and crafts to choose from, my customer at the toy store still couldn’t find a thing for her grandson.
"Maybe a video or something educational?" I asked.
"No, that’s not it," she said.
We wandered the aisles until something caught her eye: a laser gun with flashing lights and 15 different high-pitched sounds.
"This is perfect," she said, beaming. "My daughter-in-law will hate it."
Feared Meeting
I was on my way out of the house to meet with a cantankerous client, and I was dreading it. The look on my face must have given me away because my four-year-old daughter asked what was wrong.
"I’m going to meet a woman who always yells at Daddy," I told her.
"Oh," she said. "Say hi to Mom."

Long Tour of Duty
I work in a courthouse, so when I served jury duty, I knew most of the staff. As I sat with other prospective jurors listening to a woman drone on about how long the process was taking, a judge and two lawyers passed by, giving me a big hello. A minute later, a few maintenance workers did the same.
That set off the malcontent: "Just how long have you been serving jury duty?"

Do you want to live longer? There is evidence from a study in 2012 suggests that being a "Castrati" or eunich and getting castrated before you're a teenager could gain you a couple of decades. They had no data on complete hysterectomies for the ladies since no social order has ever "euniched" them. Don't know how they arrived at this since Chinese mostly stopped having eunichs and the choirs stopped making Castrati for male high note singing choir gigs.
In all fairness what appears to be some of the worst advice you're ever likely to receive MAY have some sensible and likely more promising scientific findings came to be.
Concerning cancer - John Wayne's BIG C has at least 10
different varieties of cancerous cells meaning that breast cancer cells especially should be classified into one of 10 different diseases, say British medical researchers.
Beginning with cancer, since 2012 may be the year that not only changed our understanding of the disease, but beamed a proverbial light on the pathway where the future of diagnosis and treatment exists.
The British groundbreaking study discovered that breast cancer is not one, but 10 separate diseases - each one with a different cause, a different life expectancy and each requiring a different treatment altogether.
Medical researchers made the discovery by analysing mutated DNA taken from inside the tumors of around 2,000 patients.
We hope they did not spread the tumors by needling out biopsied samples and releasing cells into the bloodstream.
The hope for the future is that patients will have DNA from a tumor analysed and receive a tailored treatment specifically devised for their exact subtype of cancer, be it breast or otherwise.
Not just breast cancer involved but the British government has announced plans to analyse the DNA of up to 100,000 patients with cancer.
The ongoing debate as to whether humans should all be taking aspirin to prevent cancer was brought up several times during 2012.
A low dose of aspirin of 81 miligram baby asperin or low-dose enterically-coated asperin daily can prevent and possibly even cancel out cancer according to one report, but was disfavored because it is said to carry too great a risk of causing bleeding in the brain and digestive system, stated another study.
To the joy of many expectant, optimistic souls, abiraterone, which extends life for patients with terminal prostate cancer, was approved for use after some rigerous and tough negotiating.
Significant advances were made in 2012 favoring the restoring of functional movement to paralyzed patients.
Jan Scheuermann, 53, paralyzed from the neck down, was able to deftly control a robotic arm with the aid of two sensors implanted inside her brain.
Tiny needles on each electronic IC chip conducted electrical activity from about 200 individual brain cells. This, in turn, was converted into computerized instructions controling the blue robotic arm.
Cathy Hutchinson had a similar procedure. She was depicted taking a sip through a straw unaided for the first time since a stroke paralized her 15 years ago.
A picture from BrainGate team depicted Cathy Hutchinson using a robot arm to take a sip of coffee.
Thus is realized a dream of using electronics to reconnect the brain to paralyzed limbs to assist them to function again and sometimes even to give prosthetics a sense of touch.
Paralyzed rats were able to walk again after their spinal cords were bathed in chemicals and zapped with electricity. However, the rats did not seem to notice nor appreciate advances made on their behalf. Ingrates!
Neuro scientists also reversed paralysis in canines after injecting them with cells grown from the lining of their nose. There was a blue X-ray picturing Jasper, a 10-year-old dachshund, in walking:
A uniquely situational purely biological solution was discovered for a paralyzed American. He was enabled to regain limited use of his hand after pioneering surgery to rewire his nerves and bypass damage to his spinal cord.
At the same time, the monitoring of brain activity allowed a Canadian man, who was thought to have been in a vegetative state for over ten years, to tell doctors he was not in any pain, despite his ongoing coma.
Medical researchers were very excited because it is the first time an uncommunicative, severely brain-injured patient has been able to respond with answers clinically relevant to their care.
John Gurdon, of the Britain, and Shinya Yamanaka, of Japan, two pioneers of stem cell research shared the Nobel prize of over 1,000,000 U.S. Dollars and received individual medals for medicine or physiology.
And to think, Professor Gurdon's school report forecast years ago that the Nobel prize winner would be wasting his time
pursuing a career in science.
Young scientists in school should "stay the course" and not be influenced by naysayers.
The potential of modifying body cells was proved time and again in 2012.
Baby mice were made from a sample of skin which had been converted into eggs. The mice were healthy and went on to have offspring of their own proving their fertility. Certain countries rely on rodents for food to prevent starvation. This was successful "cloning" that COULD go commercial.
By using stem cells in gerbils, deaf gerbils had their hearing restored, which was a scientific first.
Stem cells need not be from aborted fetuses but work better from the patient themselves.
Although great strides are being made in animal research, a trial of stem cells in blind human patients has also had a promising start.
Breakthroughs came in obtaining the raw materials needed to make stem cells after teams managed to make them from blood and urine.
Genetics has many potential starts to become positive, successful reality.
Unlocking the potential of the human genome had some interesting and important moments this year too.
Scientists cracked the entire genetic code of a fetus 18 weeks into the pregnancy. They used fragments of the baby's DNA, which were floating about in the mother's blood.
The technique could be used to test for genetic diseases and abnormalities, which is bound to provoke ethical debate for no apparent reason since taking blood from the mother, filtering out fetal cells and replacing it is relatively harmless.
The use of genetics was used to stop an outbreak of the hospital superbug MRSA.
Researchers tracked down a member of staff who was unwittingly spreading the bacterium to babies in a hospital in Cambridge.
A virus was used to rebuild the heart's own pacemaker by adding genes to force heart muscle cells to change into those able to control the heart's beat.
The idiotic term junk DNA "must now be junked" according to scientists involved in a massive effort to work out how our genome actually functions.
The idea that swathes of our genetic blueprint serves no useful function looks to be wrong - we simply just don't know what it does yet.
2012 was a busy year for vaccination in the UK.
The worst outbreak of whooping cough for two decades led to an emergency programme to vaccinate hundreds of thousands of pregnant women in order to protect their children. Thirteen babies have died in the outbreak this year.
Baby being vaccinated Pregnant mothers and their babies are now being immunised against whooping cough
It was also announced that all school children are to be vaccinated against seasonal flu each year.
A study suggested that vaccinating 30% of school children would lead to 11,000 fewer hospitalisations and 2,000 fewer deaths
However, there are concerns there are not enough school nurses to make this happen and the programme will not start until 2014 at the earliest.
There was also a decision to give babies the shot to protect them from rotavirus which causes tens of thousands of cases of vomiting and diarrhoea each year.
It will ensure that the UK will have one of the most comprehensive vaccination programs in the world.
A decision on a shingles vaccine will be made in 2013 and there is a bid to get the first meningitis B jab licensed in Britain but the vaccine is available in US as on March, 2013, nationwide. It is not known if this was a hasty approval as scuttlebutt previously declared that there was NO shot versus a VIRUS despite shingles cured by country doctors using penicillin as early as the 1970s prior to superbugs and mutated viral varieties.
There have been problems internationally.
The killing of polio workers in Pakistan and the subsequent suspension of the vaccination campaign will hinder efforts to eradicate the disease which is now confined to just three countries.
Odds and ends... and eunuchs
There were also quite a number of more unusual findings this in 2012.
Researchers invented electronic sensors which could melt inside the body once their job was accomplished.
