Questions Possibly Related to Bell Hill, WashingtonProvided By Y! Answers
How is this book i am writing? Plz tell me!?
Question:
Hey that is all i have written so far, is it good or bad? Do you like it or not? Thanks i really need to know! Sorry if there is grammar mistakes, this is just my rough draft!!! :)
the four year old kendra, she is very well mannered and acts more like a 10 year old.....its weird, but thats my character :)
Answer:
I read a good portion of this, but not all. It seems to me that you are writing about some things you don't know, like four-year old girls (any children around that age), and motels, and perhaps time.
Examples: children that age aren't 'lazy' or 'lying around a lot.' Not at all. Also, there is no way a four-year old could have been in all those different places and even remember them enough for you to write something like 'she didn't want to live somewhere for a whole year.' Kendra would barely know what a whole year feels like.
Also: there are lots of extra 'y' s on words (especially the word 'the'), and you first refer to Eliza's eyebrows as raising 'my single eyebrow'... (see how that sounds?)
And when you mention Kendra's new friend as having something to do with killing, I thought Kendra's mother killed her, not the conclusion your character makes.
And if a motel room is on the third floor, it will not have a number that starts with '1,' nor have I ever heard of any motel or hotel door having a 'cat door' in it. And why does this one?
RE: dreams, staying awake, people to search for or not... The part about each person dreaming the other's life has been almost done in, in movies at least, most recently by one which stars Emma Thompson and Will Farrell, though she is a writer writing his life.
Suggest you stick with things you know, at least in details.
Keep trying... keep practicing, and keep reading.

Talk with the ‘AXIS OF EVIL” has already proven to be not cheap. Think Hillary has short memories?
Question:
So, Hillary thinks she knows best about foreign policy by blasting at Obama, condemning his suggestion that he would be willing, as president, to meet with the leaders of Cuba, Iran and other hostile nations without preconditions. “We simply cannot legitimize rogue regimes or weaken American prestige by impulsively agreeing to presidential talks that have no preconditions," Clinton said. "It may sound good, but it doesn't meet the real world test of foreign policy."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080226/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_foreign _policy;_ylt=ArfVpwoODPUmic8lTdheWzWs0NUE
Has Hillary so quickly forgotten the BIG ALARM BELL sent by NORTH KOREA’s Kim Jong Il, to cause so many nations into panic. N. Korea was placed under heavy criticism after it clamed to have carried out the nation's first nuclear weapons, 240 miles northeast of Pyongyang.
http://www.cnn.com/interactive/world/0610/gallery.rea ctions/frameset.exclude.html
Remember Bush’s famous dubbing the "axis of evil", running from Iraq and Iran to North Korea? Oh yes, Bush panicked, condemning what he termed a "provocative act" -- and bluntly warned North Korea against trying to export its nuclear know-how. Remember this CNN video that was hitting American homes, day and night by CNN?
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2006/10/09/sot.bu sh.nkorea.nuke.test.cnn
And thanks to a team of experts from the US, France and S. Korea, a proper analysis uncovered the testing to be relatively small. At least, unlike Iraq, Bush did insist the United States "remains committed to diplomacy" to settle the dispute. Still, Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill insisted "We're going to work very hard to make sure North Korea understands the cost of this."
US and Japan pushed for tough sanctions, demanding North Korea to submit to denuclearization under international supervision. And crazy John Bolton, the US Ambassador to the UN declared that Washington wants to go beyond the resolution the Security Council adopted in July. But China wasn’t persuaded because of the fear of potential cataclysmic “chaos, accompanying the collapse of the regime in Pyongyang, and those fears won't have been eased by the regime's demonstration of a capacity to lash out with nuclear weapons if it is being choked to death.”
Guess what? China and South Korea criticized Japan for exaggerating the North Korean nuclear threat, accusing Japanese rightists of building up North Korea as a dangerous enemy in order to provide the rationale for doing away with Article Nine of Japan's postwar constitution, which forbids Japan from sending troops overseas.
China and South Korea, in particular, urged the United States to engage in dialogue and negotiation. Irrational Christopher Hill remained unconvinced, and tried to disabuse them of that expectation.
In December 2006, China hosted several rounds of negotiations in Beijing with participants from the US, China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan and Russia. These rounds were inconclusive, with North Korea’s chief negotiator, Kim Kye-gwan, blaming the US for the stalemate and declaring North Korea had disliked the US’s use of a tactic of both dialogue and pressure, carrots and sticks.” But North Korea had at least nominally recommitted itself to a 2005 draft accord to scrap its nuclear weapons. Still the nations persevered. The six-party talks reconvened in December 2006. Still, the talks were unproductive… until a January 2007 when U.S. and North Korean officials met in Berlin. The U.S. pledged to authorize the release of North Korea’s frozen $25 million. North Korean agreed to shut down their reactors and end production of nuclear weapons material. In the new agreement, announced in February 2007, North Korea pledged to suspend its nuclear programs within 60 days and allow inspectors back into the country in exchange for 50,000 tons of heavy fuel.
Hillary should understand that TALK CAN BE SOMETIMES NOT CHEAP. It can pave a way to a peaceful agreement… WITHOUT BLOODSHED.

How Do You Feel About Jesse Jackson?
Question:
Please don not post racist coments.
Jesse Jackson isn't letting anything like a secret out-of-wedlock daughter and growing questions about his personal and organization funding get him down.
On the contrary: He's pressing forward with his Wall Street Project, in which some of America's largest corporations have donated millions to his network of charities and organizations.
Ostensibly, Jackson's projects are designed to increase minority participation on Wall Street. But many corporations have learned that a hefty donation to Jackson's causes is simply the best way to change the reverend's political course and bring him around to their side.
And the best way to ensure Jackson's support is to make sure that his family and close friends get a large slice of the pie. No wonder Jackson's most recent book is entitled, "It's About the Money: How to Build Wealth, Get Access to Capital and Achieve Your Financial Dreams."
IT all began in the early '80s, when Jackson's demands moved Coca-Cola to award more distributorships to minorities. Among those who got the lucrative contracts: Jackson's half-brother, Noah Robinson (now serving a life prison sentence for hiring gang members to kill three business associates).
In 1996, Jackson successfully pressured Texaco to pony up hundreds of millions to settle a discrimination lawsuit - even though no racial discrimination was ever proven. (A "smoking-gun" tape of company execs was later determined to contain no racial slurs.)
But Jackson had learned that companies will pay up in order to avoid bad publicity and accusations of racism - even if totally unfounded. So in 1997 he formed the Wall Street Project - which now rakes in some $10 million a year.
And as investigations by The Post, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Los Angeles Times demonstrate, Jackson's support was easily bought. Indeed, noted the L.A. Times, "Corporations have paid handsomely to get Jackson off their backs."
For example:
* In February 1997, Jackson filed a petition with the FCC to block Viacom's bid to sell 10 radio stations, saying the company had reneged on a promise to sell some of them to minorities.
Viacom agreed to create a $2 million fund to promote minority ownership of broadcast properties. Jackson then ended his opposition, and the sale was approved. The fund is administered by Washington lobbyist Warner Session - who later awarded the Jackson's Citizenship Education Fund (CEF) $680,000.
* In May 1998, Jackson called President Clinton to block a proposed merger of SBC and Ameritech, calling it "antithetical to basic democratic values."
In early 1999, the two firms pledged $1 million to CEF; Ameritech agreed to sell its cellular business to a new partnership that included longtime Jackson pal Chester Davenport, who had no previous telecommunications experience.
Davenport later hired Jackson's son Jonathan - who also happens to be president of CEF - as a consultant. (Jackson's wife Jacqueline is a member of the CEF board, and their son Yusef is the board attorney.)
In March 1999, Jackson declared the merger to be "in the public interest.
* In 1998, Jackson's sons Yusef and Jonathan were awarded the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship in Chicago by company head August Busch IV. He'd been introduced to the Jacksons by Beverly Hills billionaire Ron Burkle - who later hired Karin Stanford, mother of Jesse's child, as a "consultant."
Back in the '80s, Jesse Jackson had organized a boycott of Anheuser-Busch, complaining about the company's hiring and promotion practices. The two Jackson sons today refuse to disclose their own minority-hiring practices.
* In Dec. 1998, Jackson threatened to block the GTE-Bell Atlantic merger unless he got guarantees regarding the minority community. Over the next four months, the companies pledged $1.5 million to CEF and gave Chester Davenport a 7 percent stake - and the chairmanship - of its new cellular business.
In May 1999, Jackson endorsed the merger, now known as Verizon. And five Verizon executives just addressed Jackson's latest Wall Street Project conference.
* In Dec. 1998, Jackson opposed AT&T's merger with TCI, charging the latter has "a "questionable record and a poor level of public service."
The next month, AT&T pledged $425,000 to the CEF and sent its chairman to one of Jackson's conferences, where he pledged to hire a minority-owned firm to handle its bond offering. The firm that was eventually chosen for the $750,000 contract, Blaylock & Partners, has close ties to Jackson.
* In Feb. 1999, Jackson negotiated a settlement in a racial discrimination lawsuit filed against Boeing by 13,000 employees.
Days later, Boeing donated $50,000 to the CEF and made several subsequent donations. Later, the company arranged for hundreds of millions in company pension funds to be administered by minority-owned investment banks, at least two of which are Jackson financial backers.
* In May 1999, Jackson pressured PepsiCo - on the eve of its initial public offering - to give part of the lucrative deal to Utendahl Capital Partners, which has since donated tens of thousands to CEF; PepsiCo has given substantially more.
* In Sept. 1999, Jackson opposed the merger of CBS and Viacom. Two days later, Jackson - together with Chester Davenport and longtime partner Percy Sutton, a CEF board member (Jackson and his wife hold $1.2 million worth of shares in Sutton's Inner City Broadcasting) met with CBS Chairman Mel Karmazin and urged him to sell the UPN network to a minority owner.
Viacom and UPN then pledged $730,000 to the CEF. The FCC eventually approved the merger - contingent on Viacom selling UPN within one year.
Jackson also took Sutton along to promote Inner City investments (in which, as a shareholder, he and his wife stand to benefit) during a trade mission to Africa in his role as Clinton's special envoy to the continent.
One of the few corporate heads to resist Jackson's shakedown efforts was T. J. Rodgers, CEO of Cypress Semiconductor, who insisted his industry's workforce is appropriately diverse. The response from Team Jackson: "We can now officially describe Cypress Semiconductor as a white-supremacist hate group."
"He declares racism based on dubious statistics," Rodgers told the Los Angeles Times. "Then he gives you a chance to repent - and the basic way to [repent] is to give Jesse money. The threat is you'll be labeled a racist if you don't."
For years, the news media have taken a hands-off attitude to Jackson - particularly when it comes to his finances and his political hustling. Now, his personal scandal has finally forced him to open up the books and records. And it's becoming increasingly clear that Jesse Jackson has a great deal of explaining to do.
Answer:
I think that Reverand Jackson may have started out with good intentions but his ego has taken over his person. I do not trust him, do not like him, feel that he has gotten in the way of our country.

Does one need a degree to become a CEO ? I say No .?
Question:
Success Without a College Degree?
Six Hot Shots Who Made It
Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor
Many think the only way to succeed is through education. While piling on the degrees can earn you piles of dough -- and debt -- it's not the only option.
Some of today's most successful people don't have a college degree. But what they lack in academic credentials, they make up for in tenacity, brains, guts and strong business sense.
Richard Branson
In 1970, Richard Branson founded Virgin as a mail order record retailer, and not long afterward he opened a record shop in London. Two years later, the first Virgin artist, Mike Oldfield, recorded "Tubular Bells." Since then many household names, including Ben Harper, Fatboy Slim, Perry Farrell, Gorillaz, Lenny Kravitz, Janet Jackson and The Rolling Stones have helped to make Virgin Music one of the top record companies in the world.
Branson sold the equity of Virgin Music Group -- record labels, music publishing and recording studios -- in 1992 in a $1 billion deal, but he remains chairman of Virgin Group, which today includes Virgin Atlantic, Books, Games, LifeCare, Limousines, Megastores and Hotels.
Barry Diller
Barry Diller started his career in the mail room of the William Morris Agency after dropping out of UCLA after one semester. He was hired by ABC in 1966 where he created the ABC Movie of the Week, pioneering the concept of the made-for-television movie.
At age 32, he became president of Paramount Pictures, which produced a string of successful television shows (Laverne and Shirley, Taxi, Cheers) and feature films (Saturday Night Fever, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Beverly Hills Cop) under his helm. From 1984 to 1992, he was chairman and CEO of Fox Studios and was responsible for creating the Fox Broadcasting Company. Today, Diller is the chairman of Expedia and the chairman and CEO of IAC/InterActiveCorp, which includes Citysearch, Evite, Home Shopping Network, Lending Tree, Match.com and Ticketmaster .
Matt Drudge
Pundit, blogger and radio personality Matt Drudge is best known as the proprietor of the Drudge Report Web site. "The only good grades I got in school were for current events," he has said of his education. Drudge opted out of college and floated among a number of odd jobs including convenience store clerk, book salesman and grocery store sales assistant.
In 1989, he moved to Los Angeles and took a job in the gift shop of CBS studios, eventually working his way up to manager. The inside scoop he learned while in this position was allegedly part of the inspiration for founding his gossip rag The Drudge Report. The tabloid made gained notoriety when it was the first to break the news of a relationship between White House intern Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton in 1998.
Janus Friis
Named to Time Magazine's 2006 list of 100 most influential people, Janus Friis holds no formal education. He worked at the help desk of CyberCity, one of Denmark's first ISPs and later worked at Tele2, the leading alternative consumer oriented pan-European telecom operator. It was at Tele2 where Friis met Niklas Zennström, with whom he co-founded the file-sharing application KaZaA and Skype, the peer-to-peer telephony application. In early 2006, Friis and Zennström sold Skype to eBay for $2.6 billion.
Rachael Ray
Rachael Ray's career started at Macy's department store, first at the candy counter and then as the manager of the fresh foods department. Ray quickly followed with stints in gourmet markets and restaurants in New York. At gourmet food market Cowan & Lobel, she began a series of cooking classes -- 30 Minute Meals. Those classes became so popular that she was soon doing weekly segments for the evening news.
Today, Ray is an Emmy-winning television personality who hosts a nationally syndicated talk show and four different programs the Food Network, publishes her own magazine, and has written multiple cookbooks.
Jeff Valdez
Named one of AdAge's Marketing 50 in 2005, Jeff Valdez grew up the youngest of nine children in a housing project in Pueblo, Colorado. As a young adult, he moved through several jobs and ended up as a drummer with a lounge band called Wildfire. Valdez later returned to Colorado after about 10 years of touring and opened a comedy club where he did stand-up. In 1990, he threw his hat into the political ring and made a failed bid for mayor of Colorado Springs. But in 2004, he launched Si TV, the first all-English language network targeting a Hispanic audience.
Anna Wintour
Best identified by her trademark sunglasses and pageboy hairstyle, Anna Wintour is an icon of the fashion world. She reportedly attended North London Collegiate School, but never graduated. She started in 1970 working in the fashion department of Harpers and Queen in London. In 1976, she was named fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar, followed by a brief stint at New York Magazine, three years as creative director of American Vogue, and finally named editor of British Vogue in 1986.
In 1998, she became editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Wintour's work style is so notorious, the novel "The Devil Wears Prada" and its subsequent motion picture are said to be based on her. In recent years, she's focused on many philanthropic endeavors including raising more than $10 million for AIDS, putting Vogue's support behind women-owned businesses in Kabul, Afganistan, and promoting various post-9/11 campaigns.

Answer:
Nope, not at all. If your entrepreneurial skills enable you to start and grow your own company you can be the CEO even if your are illiterate.
However if you are so fortunate to do this it is a good idea to hire people with college degrees and surround yourself with intelligent, capable, reputable people. That will help you stay in a position to keep hiring the best and improving your company.
Bill Gates, Dave Thomas, Howard Hughes, Sam Walton and Mary Kay Ash are a few who've done it without college degrees.

Talk with the ‘AXIS OF EVIL” has already proven to be not cheap. Think Hillary has short memories?
Question:
So, Hillary thinks she knows best about foreign policy by blasting at Obama, condemning his suggestion that he would be willing, as president, to meet with the leaders of Cuba, Iran and other hostile nations without preconditions. “We simply cannot legitimize rogue regimes or weaken American prestige by impulsively agreeing to presidential talks that have no preconditions," Clinton said. "It may sound good, but it doesn't meet the real world test of foreign policy."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080226/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_foreign _policy;_ylt=ArfVpwoODPUmic8lTdheWzWs0NUE
Has Hillary so quickly forgotten the BIG ALARM BELL sent by NORTH KOREA’s Kim Jong Il, to cause so many nations into panic. N. Korea was placed under heavy criticism after it clamed to have carried out the nation's first nuclear weapons, 240 miles northeast of Pyongyang.
http://www.cnn.com/interactive/world/0610/gallery.rea ctions/frameset.exclude.html
Remember Bush’s famous dubbing the "axis of evil", running from Iraq and Iran to North Korea? Oh yes, Bush panicked, condemning what he termed a "provocative act" -- and bluntly warned North Korea against trying to export its nuclear know-how. Remember this CNN video that was hitting American homes, day and night by CNN?
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2006/10/09/sot.bu sh.nkorea.nuke.test.cnn
And thanks to a team of experts from the US, France and S. Korea, a proper analysis uncovered the testing to be relatively small. At least, unlike Iraq, Bush did insist the United States "remains committed to diplomacy" to settle the dispute. Still, Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill insisted "We're going to work very hard to make sure North Korea understands the cost of this."
US and Japan pushed for tough sanctions, demanding North Korea to submit to denuclearization under international supervision. And crazy John Bolton, the US Ambassador to the UN declared that Washington wants to go beyond the resolution the Security Council adopted in July. But China wasn’t persuaded because of the fear of potential cataclysmic “chaos, accompanying the collapse of the regime in Pyongyang, and those fears won't have been eased by the regime's demonstration of a capacity to lash out with nuclear weapons if it is being choked to death.”
Guess what? China and South Korea criticized Japan for exaggerating the North Korean nuclear threat, accusing Japanese rightists of building up North Korea as a dangerous enemy in order to provide the rationale for doing away with Article Nine of Japan's postwar constitution, which forbids Japan from sending troops overseas.
China and South Korea, in particular, urged the United States to engage in dialogue and negotiation. Irrational Christopher Hill remained unconvinced, and tried to disabuse them of that expectation.
In December 2006, China hosted several rounds of negotiations in Beijing with participants from the US, China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan and Russia. These rounds were inconclusive, with North Korea’s chief negotiator, Kim Kye-gwan, blaming the US for the stalemate and declaring North Korea had disliked the US’s use of a tactic of both dialogue and pressure, carrots and sticks.” But North Korea had at least nominally recommitted itself to a 2005 draft accord to scrap its nuclear weapons. Still the nations persevered. The six-party talks reconvened in December 2006. Still, the talks were unproductive… until a January 2007 when U.S. and North Korean officials met in Berlin. The U.S. pledged to authorize the release of North Korea’s frozen $25 million. North Korean agreed to shut down their reactors and end production of nuclear weapons material. In the new agreement, announced in February 2007, North Korea pledged to suspend its nuclear programs within 60 days and allow inspectors back into the country in exchange for 50,000 tons of heavy fuel.
Hillary should understand that TALK CAN BE SOMETIMES NOT CHEAP. It can pave a way to a peaceful agreement… WITHOUT BLOODSHED.
Answer:
She will say whatever she thinks is politically expediant at the moment, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

Talk with the ‘AXIS OF EVIL” has already proven to be not cheap. Think Hillary has short memories?
Question:
So, Hillary thinks she knows best about foreign policy by blasting at Obama, condemning his suggestion that he would be willing, as president, to meet with the leaders of Cuba, Iran and other hostile nations without preconditions. “We simply cannot legitimize rogue regimes or weaken American prestige by impulsively agreeing to presidential talks that have no preconditions," Clinton said. "It may sound good, but it doesn't meet the real world test of foreign policy."

Has Hillary so quickly forgotten the BIG ALARM BELL sent by NORTH KOREA’s Kim Jong Il, to cause so many nations into panic. N. Korea was placed under heavy criticism after it clamed to have carried out the nation's first nuclear weapons, 240 miles northeast of Pyongyang.

Remember Bush’s famous dubbing the "axis of evil", running from Iraq and Iran to North Korea? Oh yes, Bush panicked, condemning what he termed a "provocative act" -- and bluntly warned North Korea against trying to export its nuclear know-how. Remember this CNN video that was hitting American homes, day and night by CNN?
