Energy Initiatives: Jeb Bush

Mixed Martial Arts Dept: Sports: The year 2011 will see many of the usual blockbuster contests. The Superbowl at Cowboys Stadium yawn will only be a preamble to the biggest sporting event of the year, as far as Toronto is concerned. Yes, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will hold its first-ever mixed martial arts event in Ontario in April, where the fast-rising combat sport was declared legal this year. Only one question matters: Could Montreal champion Georges St-Pierre be on the card?, according to The Star. Economy: After a strong end to a limping year, analysts are predicting investors will be treated to a bullish 2011. Economist Sam Eisenstadt is forecasting that the S&P 500 will rise nearly 12 per cent by the middle of next year. Those who track economic outliers, however, will be keeping eagle eyes on a new House panel chairman Congressman Ron Paul. The vehement critic of the Federal Reserve has previously advocated that it be abolished; he ll now have jurisdiction over it. Hmmm and politics: The new year will open a new, difficult chapter for the Obama White House. The Republicans will take over the House of Representatives, with the Democrats retaining a slim majority in the Senate. The GOP will probably try to block Dems immigration reform and green energy initiatives, as well as attempt to repeal the Obama health care plan. Next year will also bring prime political theatre: namely, the Republican presidential primary fight. Will it be Romney? Palin? Jeb Bush? All bets are off. Culture: Old-fashioned broadcast television belonged to her for decades. Will Oprah OWN cable, too? The talk show super-host launches her brand-new Oprah Winfrey Network, years in the making, on the portentous date of Jan. 1. Expectations are high for a whole channel that will soon represent her live your best life brand to the world every day, all day. The network is sure to offer lots of Oprah, as well as her stable of health and wellness hosts: Dr. Phil, Suze Orman, and Dr. Oz. As reported in the news.
@t congressman ron paul, ultimate fighting championship
