News Journal of January 23, 2012: What Is Known Unexpressed.

You may had just listened to on news radio that the European Union (EU) nations had agreed on a oil embargo against Iran. Those collective countries with Turkey are expressing their disapproval of Iran's nuclear program. This weekend you likely heard repeated that long time, fired Penn State coach, Joe Paterno passed away due to health complications. He was 85 years old, a man gaining honor in the college world of sports, but not in helping children be spared from sexual abuse. When the opportunity was placed upon his lap of civil duty to his community.
You may had watched Arizona Senator, Gabrielle Gifford's You Tube video announcement. (I did not see it.) She is retiring from her congressional seat this week to better progress her already remarkable recovery. Remember she was shot a year ago by by a psychologically ruptured, young man spraying bullets at a public event. In spite of being seriously inflicted with gun shots wounds in her head, Ms. Gifford battled (with support, medical treatment, assistance) from the edge of death. Her recovery thus far is inspiring in considering how others facing mountains of health dilemmas may be sustained in real hope.
Of course if you live in the metro New York area you know the NY Giants are heading to the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, February 5th. Both teams won their NFL conference champion games yesterday. The Patriots pushed passed the Baltimore Ravens, the score 23-20. In overtime the Giants overcame their rivals, the game ending in a score of 20-17. What I am aware of or know little of, there is limited time at hand for me write about now. A return here to engage in news commentary is pending, thank you for visiting.
