Teach a man to fish
LOGAN, Utah – A private jet landed in Nigeria's capital city of Abuja today. Its cargo included three individuals worth literally billions of dollars, Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates. What could these powerful individuals want with a struggling economic state like Nigeria? That is our story today.
The Gates and Turner were seen meeting with local African officials this morning. The details of the discussions have been heavily shrouded by the individuals involved but an over tone of health care reform has presented itself as a resounding theme. "We have something in the makings," said Bill Gates when I approached him. Gates continued, "I think we are at a turning point. We have got all this access to technology and people are still dying from these diseases. I am devoting my life to this work. When I die I plan on giving all of my money to these foundations." But what is involved in these foundations?
Mayor of Abuja, Malik Ok, the native spokesman for the project said, "Teach somebody to fish and they will eat a long time." Continuing, Ok said, "The World Health Organization and United Nations’ solution was to bring in food. The Gates are looking at the future. They will build buildings, we will be trained, we will be able to teach and they will not be involved anymore." According to Gates the Nigerian people will be able to overcome their health issues through education. "Prevention is not that difficult," said Gates when asked how he might educate the Nigerian people on issues of health care.

Google offers more than most could resist.
PALO ALTO, Ca., In a field all ready hosting big names like Yahoo! and Microsoft, Google Inc. (GOOG) proposed a hostile take over today of media conglomerate Time Warner Inc. (TWX), a combination that some say could be ideal.
CEO and Chair of Google Inc., Dr. Eric Schmidt said, "Google has a history of striking when it is hot. We move when there is a good opportunity," when asked about the abrupt business venture. "Time Warner is one of the largest content producers in the world. We are one of the largest content distributors in the world. Our vision is to merge content production with content distribution," said Schmidt.
The purchase price is a reported $60-billion ticket involving debt, cash and stocks. Industry analyst Paul Kim said, "I do not know why Time Warner would turn this down." A combination of these two media conglomerates is predicted to install a drop in the cost of media. Time Warner CEO, Richard D. Parsons, said that Time Warner will conduct an analysis and have a decision within a month.
