Trust The Force!

If all the healthcare news has you scratching your head, if you can't keep straight in your mind the legal,economic and ethical meanderings of our Congressional representatives, well, join the club.

Public option, in or out? Single payer? What about abortion? Illegal immigrants? Liberals say we must have healthcare reform, Conservatives say we already have the best in the world.

Jaxonia is taking the high road here. We are going to trust the President, and hope he can cut through all the political polarization and do what's best for America.

He's a smart guy, and he's surrounded himself with smart people. He was once dirt poor, had to grow up in a single-parent household, and knows first-hand the kind of job and family pressures the average person has to deal with.

Nuna 5 crashes, Eleanor fades, longshot from Japan wins Aussie Solar Challenge

Japan's Tokai Challenger won this year's Adelaide, Australia Solar Challenge and despite an horrendous crash, the four-time Netherlands' Delft University team, 'Nuna 5', still managed a second-place finish.



The much-vaunted MIT entrant, Eleanor, faded to fifth place, but the U.S. was well represented by a third-place finish from a University of Michigan team. Sunswift IV, a homey from New South Wales, finished fourth.
