If you believe in conspiracy theories, then this is right up there with the “chilled” envelope pulled by David Stern in the 1985 Draft lottery, putting Patrick Ewing in New York. You mean LeBron, a die-hard Yankees fan, gets an up-close look while the city is being painted ... Read Full Story
It started way early this year. Walking around coughing. Runny nose. Deep congestion. Unsettled stomach. Waking up at 3am and not being able to fall back asleep. Despite the make-up I was wearing, I looked sick but I didn’t have a severe fever. Yes I had muscle aches and chills and went from hot to cold in a nanosecond and a temperature higher than 98.6 but I didn’t have a severe fever.
I live in Florida so usually the flu doesn’t hit us until February – not this year; the flu came early.... Read Full Story

As some Americans sit around huffing and puffing and thinking small; as they continuously work on dividing and conquering the United States of America, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) met last week and made moves toward uniting socially and economically in an EU-style community which would encompass half the world’s population.
So as we continue to fight amongst ourselves in America and dither on the brink of insanity and weaken our social and economic infrastructur... Read Full Story
