“Live Birth from a Distance”
According to the Canton Repository, a soldier was able to watch the birth of his daughter here in Ohio from his base in Iraq. The paper said Army Spc. Shaun Oberlin was really upset that he was going to miss the birth of his child until mercy Medical Center and Chrysler made the efforts to use the internet and video imaging to broadcast the event from halfway around the world. The decided to name their daughter Natalie Michelle Oberlin and she was born a healthy 8 pounds and 4 ounces measuring 20.6 inches long according to the Repository.
I personally think the modern technology we have is great as a few decades ago the child would have been born and the father would have been fighting a battle in a foreign land with virtually no idea what was happening at home and how his wife and daughter were progressing. Perhaps back then at the very best a letter would have been sent and a few weeks later the news would arrive on the frontlines. I feel that the internet and video conferencing does not take place of him actually being in the delivery room but does make the experience more memorable and enjoyable. It’s one of those once in a lifetime things I would not want to miss and it’s amazing what technology is doing for us these days. America is great at putting the internet to use, from our personal affairs to the business world and even education as many people are finding ways to increase their level of education through distance learning and the internets capabilities.

“School Buses on Biodiesel”
As I was reading this week’s edition of “Buckeye Farm News” I came across an interesting article that in Ohio schools are about to receive grants to convert their fleet of busses to be capable to run on soybeans. Under the Clean Air Act for Kids, a grant program is going to offer to help offset cost to run busses on B20 (20% soy and 80% petroleum diesel). I feel that this is great for all of us, consumers and farmers alike. Because of these increases in alternative fuel uses, I know firsthand that corn and soybean prices have shot way up enabling us farmers to make some money. Also for consumers they can support our local economies and hometown farmers while providing cleaner air for the environment and using less fossil fuels. I hope that in the future we will be able to use more than 20% soybeans, but for now it’s a start like the E-85 gasoline and other types of electric or hydrogen hybrid cars that are on the market or are being developed. You have to put one foot forward and start this revolution to help our local economy, clean the environment and become less dependent on foreign oil. I was at a station last week around Akron Ohio and noticed gas was $3.45 and the station had an E-85 pump that was selling for $2.99. While not cheap it was less expensive than regular gas and helps our local economy and farmers as well as provides cleaner air. Everything great has to start somewhere and it’s nice to see these technologies actually hit the street with more to come hopefully soon.

Hillary versus Obama
Ohio is a key state in deciding who the Democratic candidate will be for the upcoming election in the fall of this year. This past week I sat and watched Hillary verse Barrack Obama in a live televised debate from Cleveland State University and as an Ohioan witnessed firsthand how important our vote here in Ohio is in determining who may be our next president. After watching the debate I feel that Barrack kept calm cool and spoke with pride and dignity and understand how middle class America needs jobs that are more than minimum wage if we wish to build our economy. Hillary, (whom was a big NAFTA supporter in the Bill Clinton years and “has spent fifteen years working on it”) now is opposed to it because the facts are on the table about how America got the raw end of the deal out of it. Hillary seemed rude and pushy during the debate and was quick to take credit for the good and blame others for the bad. After watching the debate I feel that Hillary is certainly looking for votes in the wrong way by telling people what they want to hear and what sounds good at the moment. She has served two terms a first lady and has been a US Senator and somehow can take no credit for anything bad but was the driving force behind the economy during the Clinton Administration. I feel that while Barrack may not be the best candidate for the white house, I do feel he would be better than Hillary Clinton. It’s not that she is a woman, it’s that she seems to be two faced and has no clear plans for our country other than to make the claim she was the first woman in the world to become President of the United States! That’s not what this country needs; we need a leader and someone whom understands our situations in daily America. I would vote for Barrack if it was up to me, but hey that’s just my opinion. By the way I am a REPUBLICAN! When the final election and debates are under way I will then have to decide how to vote, but right now I would rather decide between Barrack and McCain than Hillary and McCain. I keep my mind open and don’t usually make a firm decision until the end just as all voters should. I try not to get hung up on the details and do my research and truly understand a candidate! So should you!
