La Belle (ship)
La Belle was one of Robert de La Salle's four ships when he explored the Gulf of Mexico with the ill-fated mission of starting a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1685. La Belle was wrecked in present-day Matagorda Bay the following year, dooming La Salle's Texas colony to failure. For over three centuries the wreckage of La Belle lay forgotten until it was discovered by a team of state archaeologists in 1995. The discovery of La Salle's flagship was regarded as one of the most important archaeological finds of the century, and a major excavation was launched by the state of Texas that, over a period of about a year, recovered the entire shipwreck and over a million artifacts.
Historical background
In the late 17th century, much of North America had been claimed by European countries. Spain had claimed Florida, and New Spain included both modern-day Mexico and much of the southwestern part of the continent. The northern Atlantic coast was claimed by Britain, and New France covered much of what is now Canada as well as the Illinois Country. The French feared that their territory in the center of the continent was vulnerable to the expansionist whims of their neighbors. In 1681, French nobleman René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, launched an expedition down the Mississippi River from New France, at first believing he would find a path to the Pacific Ocean. Instead, La Salle found a route to the Gulf of Mexico. Although Hernando de Soto had explored and claimed this area for Spain 140 years before, on April 9, 1682 La Salle claimed the Mississippi River valley for the French king, Louis XIV, naming the territory Louisiana in his honor.
1986 Berlin discotheque bombing
On April 5, 1986 three people were killed and around 230 injured when La Belle discothèque was bombed in West Berlin. The entertainment venue was commonly frequented by United States soldiers, and two of the dead and 79 of the injured were American servicemen.
A bomb placed under a table near the disk jockey's booth exploded at 1:45 am CET, instantly killing Nermin Hannay, a Turkish woman, and US Army sergeant Kenneth T. Ford. A second US Army sergeant, James E. Goins, died from his injuries two months later. Some of the victims were left permanently disabled due to the injuries caused by the explosion.
Libya was accused by the US government of sponsoring the bombing, and US President Ronald Reagan ordered retaliatory strikes on Tripoli and Benghazi in Libya ten days later. The strikes reportedly killed 15-30 people, including Colonel Gaddafi's adopted daughter, and were condemned by the United Nations General Assembly.
A 2001 trial in the US found that the bombing had been "planned by the Libyan secret service and the Libyan Embassy."

Rock Star
by: Lo-ballYou know I wanna be a rockstar
So I can take you home with me
I wanna get up late
Go out on dates
And get in all the clubs for free
So when you see me standing here
And I see you standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
You know I'm the one
You know I wanna be sedated
With twenty-twenty-four hours to go
So get down on your knees
I'll teach you to please
When we hook up after the show
I dont know how to be complacent
Or ever have to mean a word I say
So open up your throat
Hope you don't choke
Welcome to a typical day
So when you see me standing here
And I see you standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
You know I'm the one
The one, the one, the one
Reality is warped for me when constantly
You tell me I'm so cool, To you
Just photo shoots and interviews
And killer food
What's a girl to do, With you
So I grew up to be a rockstar
Dont talk to me about legality
With your ass in the air
I really don't care
What your mama thinks of me
So now you see me standing here
And you're still standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
