RE: let's talk about your imagination about Iran!

That is wrong there were many Jews living there before the holocaust and one of the most famous is the actor Topol. Look him up in Wikipedia or google him and you will see.

RE: Shipoker dies...Pretzelman lives!!

Welcome back and don't change we like you as you are.

RE: let's talk about your imagination about Iran!

Well people get worried about Iran when its leader threatens to remove Israel from the face of the planet coupled with the fact that you are trying to get nukes. You might say that Israel has nukes to but the difference is that Israel is a democracy and has never once used its nukes.

Four Chinese

Four Chinese, Chu, Bu, Fu and Su, decided to emigrate to the USA.

In order to get a visa, they had to adapt their names to American standards. Chu became Chuck, Bu became Buck.

Fu and his sister Su decided to stay in China

TWA jet explodes at Las Vegas airport

TWA jet explodes at Las Vegas airport

Hi all sorry if I offended anyone me bad.. If you read the article thoroughly you would have noticed that it mentioned a Boeing 707 which I can guess very few are still flying in the U.S. Also it mentioned that the U.S. President was Nixon and that the airline was TWA. I guess this shows if you have a headline people read that more than the story and make up their minds in a few seconds rather than a few minutes.

I again apologise if I caused any offense and I was not trying to do an Orson Welles (he did the radio War of the owrlds).

TWA jet explodes at Las Vegas airport

TWA went out business years ago.

TWA jet explodes at Las Vegas airport

A bomb has exploded aboard a Trans World Airlines Boeing 707 at Las Vegas airport.

No-one was injured in the blast which destroyed the cockpit of the aircraft as it stood empty on the tarmac.

The explosion happened hours after an anonymous phone caller threatened TWA with a series of bomb attacks unless £760,000 was handed over.

The caller instructed airport officials at Kennedy Airport in New York to go to a locker where they found a note, which said there would be explosions at six hourly intervals on four of the company's aircraft.

Sniffer dogs found a bomb, which consisted of 3lb (1.36kg) of plastic explosives and a timing device, aboard a TWA aircraft at the airport in New York, 12 minutes before it was timed to explode.

It was found in a case labelled "crew" in the cockpit.

A few hours later police boarded a second TWA jet at the airport but nothing was found.

The aircraft which exploded in Las Vegas was thoroughly searched and left New York after the first bomb was discovered.

It flew to Las Vegas with only 10 passengers and was searched again once it landed.

The aircraft was then put under armed guard before the plane exploded seven hours later.

Debris was blown more than 100 feet (30 metres) away but two security guards escaped uninjured.

One of them said: "It sounded like dynamite. I could see pieces of the plane flying through the air."

The security department at the International Air Transport Association suspects that five people, who each hold Middle Eastern passports, may have been involved in the plot.

TWA has ordered worldwide checks on all 240 of its aircraft following the initial bomb threat.

US President Richard Nixon said that the government would mobilise all resources "until the current threat is crushed."

Does anyone remember this?.

Sorry to hear that Gilly what ideas did you have?. Don't forget Blade Runner was not a successful movie in the cinemas but it is now critically acclaimed. What to some people is a good movie is a bad movie to other people.

Teacher gets $25K shock

In front of 700 students, a state senator and a host of Texas educators, a Laureles Elementary School teacher received the $25,000 Milken Educator Award.

Zulema Williams-Santa Ana was surprised at a Thursday morning assembly when a representative from the Milken Family Foundation called her name, telling her she'd been chosen for one of the country's most prestigious education awards.

"We consider Zulema to be a representative of excellence in education," said Jane Foley, senior vice president of the Milken Awards. "Even in a high performing school district, she's outperforming her peers."

The third-grade teacher broke down when the award was announced. The entire student body stood up and cheered.

Eighty teachers around the nation received Milken Educator Awards this year. They were chosen after a long selection process, including numerous consultations with state and local education agencies.

"I wouldn't change this job for anything in the world," Williams-Santa Ana said after receiving the award. "We work together as a team here...it makes a big difference."

Williams-Santa Ana is the first Los Fresnos educator to receive the Milken Award, which was founded in California in 1987. Since then, 2,030 awards have been distributed.

Awardees are encouraged to stay active in the Milken Educator Network, a group of educators and business leaders from across the country, who engage in a long-term dialogue with fellow educators, legislators and school boards.

Thursday's public ceremony was also intended to send a message to Laureles students who might one day choose a career in education. They gasped when Foley announced how much the award was worth. But when Williams-Santa Ana took the stage, they were silent, attentive.

"You must always dream big," she told the 700 students.
