Today's Health/Exercise Tip:
Don't Worry, You're Not Going to Starve
 
Going hungry is one of the most common fears dieters face. "If I don't eat the whole sandwich, I'll be hungry in an hour, and since I'll be stuck in that meeting, I won't eat again until dinner time. I'd better just eat the whole thing, even though I'm not really hungry." Sound familiar?

If this is you, it's time to get realistic. A little hunger is nothing to be afraid of. But if you're convinced you can't deal with the pangs of "starvation," then heed this advice: Carry a granola bar (or dried fruit, nuts or another healthy snack) in your bag, purse, glove box, and/or briefcase. Then you'll have no excuse for overeating when you're not really hungry for more – you'll know you have a hunger-calming, healthy snack at your fingertips whenever you need it. Having backup is always a good plan!

    Don' t Stay the 'Don't Ask' Ruling
    Oct 16, 2010; Editorial; The New York Times

    The Obama administration has conjured up some inflated fears to justify its decision to appeal an injunction that brought a screeching halt to investigations and discharges of gay men and women serving in the military.

    To hear the administration tell it, lifting the prohibition on gay men and lesbians openly serving in uniform would undermine global combat operations. In truth, the real potential for harm is to gay service members if the injunction is held in abeyance.

    The injunction was issued on Tuesday by Judge Virginia Phillips, of the Federal District Court in central California, who had ruled that "don't ask, don't tell" was an unconstitutional infringement on the rights of due process and free speech. The law has been used to drum out some 13,000 service members in the past 17 years.

    Although President Obama and the Pentagon's top leaders have all said they want the law repealed, the Justice Department on Thursday asked Judge Phillips to stay her injunction while it files an appeal.

    As justification, the administration made overheated claims that a precipitous change in wartime would have adverse effects on morale, good order, discipline and unit cohesion. Those are the same specious arguments used to justify the benighted policy in the first place. The administration wants to leave it in place while it finishes a study on how to carry out a repeal.

    Clifford Stanley, the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said in a court filing that ending the antigay policy would require training, and reworking regulations on issues like housing, benefits and standards of conduct. He said the Army had to consider the "rights and obligations of the chaplain corps." Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said the military had to consider whether barracks should be segregated and whether partners of gay soldiers should have benefits.

    This sounds disturbingly like the creation of a "separate but equal" system. The armed forces do not need to be protected from their gay and lesbian personnel. The military has always had its own culture and rules of behavior, but it has not been living in a cave.

    Judge Phillips has hit on a simpler, more equitable solution: just stop enforcing "don't ask, don't tell." It has done more to harm military readiness than her injunction possibly could.

    Remember:  Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. The Formal Boycott began this past weekend. I stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall.  I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time!   Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's is the right thing to do.   Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being.   They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp.  Therefore, goodbye Target and Best Buy!  The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions!  What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
