Among the expansions and new businesses, I'd like to mention that Real Life Fellowship is opening a campus in the old mini mall next to Funtrackers. When they open it will be the largest church congregation in Flour Bluff. It is a casual dress church with contemporary music. The pastor makes the Bible and it's message come alive and teaches us how to apply God's word to our lives! I would like to invite anyone who is interested to check the church out. The current Corpus campus is located at Staples and Holly Rd. , also in Portland in the movie theater on Sunday mornings, and coming soon to Calallen at the Bay Area Fitness Center!

Maria Sharapova shines at IMG players party
The traditional IMG players party at Crown was a glamorous affair with the likes of Maria Sharapova and James Blake leading the stars on show. But earlier Jelena Jankovic, who has climbed into the top five in the world, stole the limelight at a party held by Prince.

"It's hard getting out of a car in a dress like this with photographers everywhere," Jankovic said. Joining her at the party, which was held at the Lamborghini outlet in South Yarra was controversial world No.4 Russian Nikolay Davydenko. He turned up looking smart and colour co-ordinated with a black car.

Officials repeated Pa. mistakes
Judy Robson, D-Beloit, includes the section of Interstate 39-90 where 2,000 cars were stuck overnight in the snowstorm. Robson said she was "very concerned " about the state 's poor response to the crisis detailed in a National Guard report issued Thursday. State officials should be as prepared to deal with extreme winter weather as they are to deal with floods or tornadoes, she said. "We live in Wisconsin. We get bad snow, " Robson said. "We should be prepared. " Robson said she wanted to know whether a lack of adequate equipment contributed to a failure of communications among state agencies and local governments in Dane and Rock counties during the crisis. Robson said she would seek a legislative audit to determine whether money awarded to Wisconsin by the federal Department of Homeland Security was spent correctly to ensure good communication systems.
