The Price on Your Life
2009-11-04 10:51:00 Unfortunately, the title is not referring to a skilled sniper waiting on the top of a building targeting you because your own government leaked your CIA ?secret? identity to get to your husband; that would have been a really cool story if it could have ever happened in real life?.I am referring to guys sitting at the top of tall buildings wearing fancy suits and sitting around board room tables talking about how to save their company big bucks, putting more money in their own wallets, and denying you health care coverage, all at the same time. At the moment, everyone is focusing on what they think is wrong with the new health care reform bill so I thought I would take some time to focus on what is totally faked up with the current private insurance business. read more

What do Choppers, Jihadists & Anti-Depressants Have in Common?
2009-10-30 02:09:00 So here I was on a lazy Saturday morning barely awake switching on my brand new Bravia for the latest international news as I was smelling the freshly brewed Colombian coffee. It seemed very pleasant outside and I was looking forward to the nice warm weather and a walk by the beach. I was thinking about the fun I'd have for the rest of the day far away from my cubicle when all of a sudden my tranquillity was interrupted by something that sounded like a big explosion. For a microsecond I felt like I was in the middle of Kabul. I looked at the TV in case BBC was showing the latest Taliban attack, but to my avail, it was showing the latest results from the Ashes. Then another loud bang almost made me dropped my precious coffee on my Polo robe. ?What The Flying FAK', I thought? I was neither living in Kabul nor in Baghdad and BBC was just showing freaking cricket! read more

Chicagoans plunge from hotel roof for lung health
2009-10-26 21:11:00 By Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz RedEye -Lauren LaViola, a 27-year-old administrative assistant who lives in Lincoln Park, said she's always been terrified of heights. But as she prepared Sunday to rappel 27 stories down the front of The Wit hotel in the name of lung health, LaViola's fears gave way to thoughts of her father, who died of lung cancer two months ago. "I'm a little nervous," LaViola said quietly, clutching her harness, moments before she stepped out onto the hotel roof downtown. "But I'm OK. I'm just not going to look down." LaViola was among 80 people who rappelled 27 stories from the roof of The Wit hotel Sunday to raise money for the Respiratory Healthhttp://www.chicagonow.com-/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi?__mode=view&-amp;_type=entry&id=27262&am-p;blog_id=6 Association of Metropolitan Chicago.

Vitamin D - Key Component to Being Health
2009-10-24 14:39:00 Since I wrote my tips to being healthier about a week ago, I have seen several short stories on the news on the importance of vitamin D throughout the winter season. Although I briefly mentioned this in my list, it seems like a bit of elaboration could convince many of you that it is a worthwhile supplement since so many health professionals are recommending it to the public.The New England Journal of Medicine published an article that recognizes the important role of vitamin D has in a wide range of health conditions. This article was written by Dr.Michael Holick who highlights even the value V-D plays in utero - with a deficiency "retardation, skeletal deformities and increase risk of hip...

Do Not Blame It On The Pigs
2009-09-22 10:30:00 Michael Slackman has decided that the latest garbage problem in Egypt is the result of Mubarak?s decision to kill all the pigs despite the direct reason ?which he mentioned in his report in a fast reference if I may say" is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies and the governorates. Just put things straight here I would to mention some points : The main reason of this problem is the disagreement between the foreign garbage companies with the governorates. Another main reason to be honest is how our government is dealing with the crisis, if the government wants really to solve this problem ,it could do ; after all when Gamal Mubarak visited Agouza, the streets had been cleaned for him and I saw it by my own eyes !! Sometimes this regime like previous regimes creates crisis for its own people to make them busy from things that really matters. Not all the pigs were killed , this is a fact Mr.Slackman forgot to mention , for some reason suddenly the decision was froz...

She Needs Your Prayers
2009-09-21 13:04:00 Former Princess Ferial Farouk is currently in a critical condition in Switzerland , she needs our prayers now so much more than any time. I know for sometime now that she fought cancer for a while in her life where she conquered it with a very high price : part of her digestive system was removed :( . For some reason it was not declared ; may be because she considered something personal and I respected this decision from her side . Yet unfortunately it seems that in the past few weeks the cancer has returned back in vengeance. She has returned back to her simple home in Switzerland after being in the hospital , she is currently 24/7 medical surveillance. The former princess had visited Egypt earlier this year and made an interview with Ahmed El-Muslamany which I am currently looking for to post here.

Eighty-four percent (84%) of those in the President's party now support the health care plan, up from 72% earlier in the week. Support among Republicans is unchanged while support among those not affiliated with either major party has fallen. In other words, Obama didn't make headway with the cherished independent voters; in fact he lost more of their support.There's also this: If the plan passes, 28%...
