			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>New Orleans Saints Vs. Indianapolis Colts&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Now every year we have a simulation for such big events as the super bowl to try and predict the winner before  the actual game. Maddens&#8217; NFL game has predicted the outcome winner of the super bowl now for six years and five out of six times, it&#8217;s been right. The games only miss was the Giants victory over the Patriots in  Super Bowl XLII. This year madden predicts a close victory for the New Orleans Saints. Personally I&#8217;m a Colts fan and hope they take the victory this year and have madden have five out of 7 correct predictions. But the stats from the game predict Drew Brees be named MVP passing 322 yards and 3 touchdowns. Along with Reggie&#8217;s following 2 touchdowns, one rushing and the second a punt run.  As for the Indianapolis Colts they predict Manning&#8217;s performance to be &#8220;great but not good enough&#8221; with his 322 yards and 3 touchdowns.  So for all you football fans out there i guess we&#8217;re just gonna have to wait until sunday for the big game. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Brittany Murphy</em></strong><em> passed away from a cardiac attack on Dec.20th. Fire fighters tried reviving her on the way to Cedars-Sinai medical center but unfortunately they failed and she was pronounced dead two hours later. But just recently L.A County coroners officials said she went into cardiac arrest because of drug intake. They found many prescription drugs in her system but no illegal kinds. Her husband and mom said she never abused the prescription drugs and a couple of days before her death she experienced flu like symptoms. Officials also said she had iron deficiency and died from pneumonia. Its kind of scary to think some one that young died from a cardiac arrest. It really makes you wonder if you&#8217;re treating your own body right,if you are taking good care of yourself and staying healthy. </em></p>

<p><strong><em>A NUTTY TRADE&#8230; </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-weight:normal;">The super bowl is less than a week away, and with all this excitement it seems like everyone thats a huge fan will do what they can to get their hands on some tickets. People are willing to pay a large amount of money to go watch the colts play the saints. But there&#8217;s one saints fan out there who took things to another level. Believe it or not, this guy posted an add on craigslist that reads </span>&#8221; Will trade left testicle for super bowl tickets (miami).&#8221;  <span style="font-weight:normal;">It goes on with him describing its condition and &#8220;its only been used for 22 years.&#8221; Although many of you out there might think this is a joke, you better believe it really isn&#8217;t. This &#8220;nutty&#8221; fan did a spot on kroq with Kevin and Bean this morning around 7:30am. He confirmed it was no joke and he just simply explained that he was a huge saints. He advertised it more while on the radio and gave out his personal email along with &#8220;pictures upon request.&#8221;  Now i like watching sports, i recently got into football but i know many people will pay a fortune for these tickets but i think this guy is crazy for even thinking about trading one of his testicles for super bowl tickets. But of course he got a couple of callers in on the radio. They asked one of the girls who called in if she would make a trade,the tickets for this guys left testicle and surprisingly she said she would if she had the tickets. And when they asked her why she said just for the fact that it would be funny.On his ad he does mention that he will go through with the complete trade after the game.Now doesn&#8217;t that make you wonder if he&#8217;s gonna just run after the games over. He claims he&#8217;s sincere but whatever the case may be i still believe he&#8217;s crazy.</span></em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think its kind of funny the way some commercials approach the viewers and try to to grab our attention. Now Dashers is an auto insurance company and of course all they want to do is sell us their insurance by advertising how they can save a lot of money switching to them. Now in the recent Dashers commercial i saw about two days ago they had one guy washing his car outside his home talking about how great his insurance is and how much he has saved. What i thought was funny was towards the end of the commercial they had a woman in a red bikini walk out of the house with a sponge in her hand trying to help wash the car, and the commercial ended with him giving a wink to the camera and saying &#8220;thanks dashers.&#8221; I don&#8217;t have anything against the commercial i just thought it was funny how they decided to add a &#8220;hot girl&#8221; in a red bikini in the commercial when she really has nothing to do with it. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Indian airports were on high alert this past thursday and friday after receiving notice of a possible plane hijacking. It&#8217;s said that Intelligence Officials uncovered a plot by militants that were actually linked to al-Qaeda and Pakistan. The plot was uncovered during an interrogation of Amyad Kwaja who is a militant leader that belonged to Harkat-Ul-Jihad-Al-Islami.  This is an extremist group that has actually been involved in many terror attacks in India. The plane that they were planning on hijacking belonged to either &#8220;Air India&#8221; or  &#8221;Indian Airlines,&#8221; they weren&#8217;t quite sure but they knew it was destined for a South Asian country. I can&#8217;t say that this type of news doesn&#8217;t scare me, I&#8217;m one of those who loves to travel and hearing something like this doesn&#8217;t necessarily ease my mind when i hop on a plane. I honestly don&#8217;t mind that the airport security has gotten tighter and probably will get stricter. Sure it&#8217;s more of a hassle but if it&#8217;s going to keep me safe on that plane and get me to my destination then why not. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Yes, you read correctly&#8230;<br />
There is now Twitter access for astronauts that are really really high up in space. According to Yahoo,space station resident Timothy Creamer who moved in last month had been working on trying to get internet access up in space. Well last friday he accomplished it and sent out the first live twitter from space. It&#8217;s kind of funny really when you think about it, you would think they would have other things to do on the internet but at the same time they do spend months away from their families and friends. Now they&#8217;ve found a way to be able to communicate a lot faster and easier rather than having to wait months and months to reach them. It&#8217;s said that before this,astronauts were only able to send emails with their twitter information to Mission Control in Houston, but now they can use an on board laptop to reach Mission Control&#8217;s desktop.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>MEET MY ROBOT GIRLFRIEND..<em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> <span style="font-weight:normal;">She&#8217;s  5&#8217;7 and weighs 120 pounds, &#8220;she can&#8217;t cook or clean but she can do anything else&#8221; says Douglas Hines, the creator of &#8220;Roxxxy.&#8221; Hines has created the first life size robot that actually has artificial intelligence. He&#8217;s programed her to be able to move, listen to you,have a conversation with you, and go to sleep. Although Roxxxy can&#8217;t walk on her own she does have an articulated skeleton that allows her to move just like a real person and has flesh like synthetic skin. Believe it or not, Hines says the inspiration came from the September 11 attack. A friend of his passed away in the incident and Hines promised himself he&#8217;d create a program that stores his personality. Thus the foundation of Roxxxy is &#8220;true companionship.&#8221;  Now I&#8217;m not so sure how any of you would take this but i find it a little weird and creepy that someone would go to this extent. Clearly Roxxxy models everywhere were created for those awkward men who can&#8217;t get a single date and have serious trouble even talking to them. They can actually order her online and customize her by race, hair color and even breast size. She&#8217;s wirelessly connected to the internet and just in case you&#8217;re at work she will send you messages through emails. So for those of you who actually want to know how much she goes for, depending on the features Roxxxy costs from $7000-$9000. So say goodbye to blowup dolls and say hello to the mechanical girlfriend, and  soon &#8220;Rocky&#8221; the mechanical boyfriend which is currently in development. </span></em></strong></p>
