Governors caught in debate over stimulus funds

Governors caught in debate over stimulus funds: "Leaders of most of the 50 states and U.S. territories were attending the three-day winter meeting of the National Governors Association in Washington. The meeting focused on the need for infrastructure improvement, which is expected to absorb much of the stimulus funding directed to states.
Several of the governors were escaping drama in their own states, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who signed the state's overdue budget last week after a bruising battle with lawmakers over how to plug the state's mammoth $41 billion budget hole.
Another was newly minted Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois, the former lieutenant governor promoted after his predecessor, Democrat Rod Blagojevich, was impeached and removed for trying to sell Obama's former Senate seat for cash and favors"

Vote Now!

Vote Now!: "The power of many. One person fighting for change is like a butterfly trying to fight a windstorm. But if you get two people together, or 10, or a hundred, and soon you have a group strong enough to stand up to that windstorm. And if you can get thousands or hundreds of thousands of people together, talking about one issue, fighting for change, pretty soon they ARE the windstrom. And the power of the group becomes multiplied, and change is inevitable. The speed of change. In the olden days (again, 10 years ago), an idea or a movement, if it were powerful enough, could spread like wildfire. The movement for change could spread from town to town, city to city, country to country, at a rapid speed. Today, the potential speed of an idea makes wildfire look like molasses on a cold day. Change is no longer measured in years, months, weeks or even days — it’s measured in minutes and seconds. Interaction. While in the olden days (see above), the mass media could reach a wide audience quickly'"

The Arena - Politico's daily debate with policymakers and opinion shapers | Politico.com

The Arena - Politico's daily debate with policymakers and opinion shapers Politico.com: "The economy is the big issue of this election. Hey, the Bush-McCain economy just lost $700 billion in retirement plans.

It's another reason why we need active and competent regulations for Wall Street. None of this matters for people like McCain who own 12 houses, but normal Americans are trying to rely on retirement plans when they grow old.

With McCain's proposed cutbacks to Social Security, our retirement programs are even more important. It also brings us back to McCain's radical plan to send our Social Security money to Wall Street. Yes, the same Wall Street who just lost $700 billion yesterday. Imagine the consequences of an unchecked market controlling our Social Security money"

The Writers' Cafe

The Writers' Cafe: "A shades triple pot round got to be really big, and the enrgy level increased as well. When kids who were down on their luck (if they were not down on their luck they would be out there flipping like everyone else) saw such games taking place they sometimes offer “luck” to the guy they thought might have have a better chance of winning the pot. They gave luck according to the following procedure. They would gently circle their hands over the top one of the players’ head (I can not recall if they would ever actually touch the players head, or just cirle above, alternatively they may have been rubbing the players back). The one thing I am quite certain of was the incantation that went along with this procedure was the luck giver would chant “wish I had a watermelon, wish I had a watermelon” no less then three times in a row"

Ketogenic diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ketogenic diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Ketogenic diet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about a dietary medical therapy. For information on ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets as a lifestyle choice or for weight loss, see Low-carbohydrate diet.

The ratio of calorific contributions from food components of four dietsThe ketogenic diet is a high fat, adequate protein, low carbohydrate diet, primarily used to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet mimics aspects of starvation by forcing the body to burn fat rather than carbohydrate. Normally, the carbohydrates in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fuelling the brain. However, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. When the body produces ketone bodies, a state known as ketosis, this has an anticonvulsant effect.[1]
The diet has just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories to maintain the correct weight for age and height. The 'classic' ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by eliminating foods high in carbohydrates (starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains and sugar) while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat (cream and butter).[1]"
