Today's Health/Excercise Message:
Get Fit with Meditation
By Jorge Cruise, Chief Diet and Fitness Expert / October 23, 2010
 
I'm sure you know that the age-old practice of meditation has many wellness benefits: It can improve heart rate, ward off illness and reduce stress, depression and even insomnia. Surprising as this may be, it can also increase your ability to burn calories throughout the day! Studies show that meditation slows down the release of cortisol, a steroid in the body that slows your metabolism. Meditation also stabilizes your mental state and helps control eating binges.

So how do you meditate? It's simple. Just sit comfortably for 10-15 minutes and close your eyes. Silently repeat a mantra – a sound, word or phrase – to calm the mind and body.

President Obama has appointed a record number of gays to his administration, data shows
By Sean Alfano, NY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER; Oct 26, 2010

President Obama has taken plenty of heat in recent weeks for not moving fast enough to end the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, but numbers show he has appointed a record number of openly gay officials since his election.

 According to estimates by gay activists and a White House spokesman, Obama has placed more than 150 gay men and women in various posts throughout his administration.

"It's both significant and rather ordinary," Michael Cole, spokesman for the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign, told The Associated Press. "It's a simple affirmation of the American ideal that what matters is how you do your job and not who you are."

President Bill Clinton held the previous mark with nearly 140 gay members in his administration during his eight years in the White House.

The most prominent appointment thus far has been John Berry, director of the Office of Personnel Management, the agency that oversees nearly two million federal employees. The President also picked Amanda Simpson, the first openly transgender person to serve in an administration, as an official with the Commerce Department. 

In recent weeks, the President has been roundly criticized by the gay community for not doing more to abolish the rule prohibiting gays from serving openly in the armed forces.

Despite promises to end "Don't ask, don't tell," Obama has asked a federal court to delay its halt to the policy. The President has said that while he wants the policy to end under his watch, he wants Congress to repeal the law, not the courts.

"For a community that is denied their equality, there will continue to be frustration at the pace of change," Cole said.

Still, gay activists seem encouraged at the progress Obama has achieved in less than two years in office.

"From everything we hear from inside the administration, they wanted this to be part of their efforts at diversity," Denis Dison, spokesman for the Presidential Appointments Project of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, told AP.

On Dison's website, he lists 124 of the gay appointees. The rest are not listed because they are lower-level officials who were not formally announced, Dison said.

White House spokesman Shin Inouye said Obama is proud of his appointment of officials from the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) community.

"This number will only continue to grow."

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?
