I was just reading a story on Yahoo News, by Steve Gutkin, an Associated Press Writer, concerning the celebration in Israel of their 60th birthday. Here is wishing Israel, and our Jewish friends, a Happy 60th Birthday, and May the Wish for Peace, be fulfilled before another 60 years passes!
Israel staged its 60th birthday bash with fireworks, air force flyovers and a great sense of pride Thursday, but also with uncertainty about its future and doubts about prospects for peace with the Palestinians.
Across the country, Israelis held barbecues in backyards and public parks, and were entertained by naval parades and a Bible quiz. But a celebratory parachute jump over Tel Aviv injured three spectators after a parachutist crashed into a crowd.
Israel at 60 is a paradox of exuberance and despair; a country enduring near daily rocket attacks from militants while producing scientists who have pioneered Wi-Fi and instant messaging. Six decades after rising from the ashes of the Holocaust, the Jewish state is still plagued by threats from abroad and an identity crisis at home.

199th Birthday Of Americas Greatest President
My belated birthday wishes to Abraham Lincoln on his 199th birthday, as I lost my link as was unable to post after I created it yesterday, but here is how the story should have gone:
"Today, Monday, February 12th, is the 199th birthday of the Greatest President in American history, and I just want to say Rest In Peace Mr. President,
what?...sorry someone just looked over my shoulder and "didn't" know who the Greatest President in American history was..
Wow, I was surprised, as Obviously it was Abraham Lincoln, and I have two links for you."
The first is to the "Lincoln Institute Presents Abraham Lincoln's Classroom" which has days and days of material for a Lincoln fair weather friend or a true fanatic. The second link is to a website that has a great deal of information about the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois, and their preparations for his 200th birthday next year!!
Happy 199th Birthday, Mr. President!!
