Here's some good news for people in Illinois who binge/purge/restrict, et al: The state of Illinois hopes to become the 17th state to require insurance companies to pay for treatment of eating disorders. The bill is currently on Governor Rod Blagojevich's desk pending review. The bigger issue on the table, of course, is the great inequity that exists between so-called physical coverage and psychiatric coverage. (As if your brain isn't part of your body.)

Tajik Instability June 24th, 2008 by Patrick Frost Tajikistan, already one of the world’s poorest nations, has suffered much this year with a harsh winter, continuing health concerns, and with rising food prices. But the worse could be yet to come as its President Rahmon’s rule appears to be showing some cracks and news reports about the country have titles such as ‘Who’s in Charge’ and ‘Tajikistan is not in control.’ Not that President Rahmon has gone out of his way to help his people or beIf NEPA goes on strike..!
By Adeola Aderounmu. The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has threatened to go on strike if Umaru made good his promise to declare a state of Emergency (SOE) in the power sector. Now, this is Nigeria at work. Unless my interpretation is wrong, this should mean that NEPA workers are threatening to go on strike? It is possible that ninety-nine percent of Nigerians do not have electricity in their homes while these men and women are at work at NEPA or PHCN. What then shall we mDiary of My Fruits and Veggies

Much of the western world, including Britain, currently seems in process of economic melt-down. To take our minds off all the depressing economic news, and hence off how lamentably the present Government has prepared this last decade for the years of national belt-tightening that now lie ahead, we need reminding that, as well as love, among other things money can’t buy is happiness.

It isn’t really a newsflash, or even a surprise, that the Guardians Gareth McLean doesn’t get Top Gear. He compares it to a bad night in the pub. In that case, I’d hate to see what he regards as a good night in the pub. Gareth writes a Tv Blog here and I feel sorry for him, it appears that he missed out on a normal boys childhood. Wasn’t he allowed Lego or Meccano? Did his parents ban pictures and posters of cars from the walls of his room. Or did he spend his free time as a child on a stationThe Best Laid Plans
(Picture above: "Abbey" -- failings, fury and betrayal on all side of her) Well, sometimes gambles work out and sometimes they don't. Yesterday, the "plan" was to meet a married Upper West Side Manhattan couple at the shelter to pick up "Abbey," a 4-year-old Chow mix (pictured above) who was sent to the Manhattan shelter from the Brooklyn AC&C. The wife had called the previous day, interested in potentially adopting Abbey. I had also discussed with "Sara G" the possibility of Anxiety Can Undermine Health
Anxiety is often an internal safeguard, warning us to be careful and to not rush into things. However, when anxiety persists, it can undermine our physical health. Evidence suggests that people with anxiety disorders are at greater risk for some chronic medical conditions.

Recently I found myself in yet another engaging comics related discussion with the esteemed Augie De Blieck Jr. of Comic Book Resources and Pipeline Podcast fame. Don't ask me how, but we were reminiscing on those classic moments in comic history. No, not a death or a resurrection or a great fight. Rather what were those moments behind the comics, in the meeting rooms of the publishers that were the meetings we'd love to be a fly on the wall of, watching and observing.

JivinJ and I wrote in May about accusations that supposedly pro-life OR congressional candidate Mike Erickson had taken a girlfriend for an abortion in 2001. Yesterday the Oregonian published the heartbreaking inside story from the aborting girlfriend, who only provided her first name, Tawnya. Aside from outting Erickson, this tragedy spotlights that abortion is not a great American right. It is an act of desperation. It is used by coercive men to exploit women.

So Hollywood thinks the father-figure is a moron, and can't raise children better than a woman. Well, the last time I checked, the optimum situation to raise a law-abiding, successful, head-strong child is by both a mother and a father.

It's all about feeling and emotion. Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, "Jim |
