Consider joining:Today's Health/Excercise "Special" Message:I purchased a home in South Florida and I have contractors coming and going. Than I return to Tn and than make my final move to Florida in the Spring.How is this health news? Very simple! I have no window treatments as of yet. I simply placed up temporary paper shades (REDI Shades)from Lowes (Home Depot has them as well) @ $7.50 per shade (they stick on and are easy to remove). The shades allow light in and render privacy.Again, how is this health news? Well, I am falling a sleep early and waking up early. I wake up with the morning light and quickly become tired during the dark (yet, with some light entering). So, if you have a sleeping disorder, open the shades, or, change your shades to one that allows normal light to enter. You will sleep better and wake up refreshed.It happened to me, for real!....Dr. Jake

Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!
- NEW: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.

10-22-10 / Huffington Post / by Lucia GravesA recent rash of suicides among gay youth has captured the attention of the nation, with President Obama releasing a video Thursday aimed at reaching gay teens threatened by bullying.
Among the deaths most heavily reported by the media was that of Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers University student whose intimate interactions with another man were broadcast over the internet.
While Clementi's death is heartbreaking, and the details surrounding it particularly vivid, some experts say the bigger story is that hundreds of suicides go unreported or underreported every year.
"While it's great to have this topic in the news, unfortunately this isn't news. This is an issue that has been going on for a long time," said Leigh Powers, head of Information Services at the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.
The most recent data from The American Association of Suicidology shows that there are more than 1,000 suicides on college campuses ever year. In 2007, more than 4,000 young people aged 15 to 24 killed themselves.
"Given the data, it's clear that all of us need to be equipped to identify youth -- particularly lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth -- who may be thinking about suicide so we can keep them safe and connect them with services and support," Powers said.
Solid statistics are hard to find since most mortality data does not include sexual orientation, and anyway many youngsters have yet to come out. But a Gallup poll estimated that 10 percent of Americans or less had more than "occasional" homosexual relationships.
Further, a study by the Suicide Prevention Center shows lesbian, gay and bisexual youth are between roughly 1.5 and 7 times more likely then heterosexual youth to have reported attempting suicide.
"Being lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender is not a risk factor for suicide," Powers emphasized to HuffPost in a statement. "Actually, it is the social stigma and discrimination that LGBT youth experience that results in feelings and behaviors which are, in turn, associated with suicidal behavior."
Some have argued the issue has been in the news media spotlight because the incidents were related to gay bullying. But bullying isn't rare either. CBS News reports that one in six students admits to being bullied two to three times a month or more.
Gay teens aren't the only ones whose suicides go unmentioned."Suicide tends to be underreported, because it's something that's embarrassing and families don't like to admit it," said Ronald Maris, who teaches at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine with a specialty in suicidology.
"If there is a suicide, often it's not made public," Maris said. "It's kind of a hidden problem. I would guess that there are certainly many other cases that have not been brought to the attention of the national media -- I mean that's pretty obvious. But how many cases there are? I don't have any way of knowing. "
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
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?
