My wife always asked why I run. This article found me yesterday and I now know why I run. Running, and lots of it, relieves stress. I have with drawls if I do not run. I make it real easy. I run in increments of hours. A short run will be one hour on Tuesday. A training run is 2 - 3 hrs.- this I do no Thursdays. Max endurance run 4 hrs and working to move up to 5 hrs - do this on the weekend. I just pick one and go. I pick minimal hills of MAX hills. Please, if you suffer from stress, anxiety or even deeper depression - start walking, try jogging and you might even try long distance running. It is free and you body will thank you for it.

Leaked Emails Show Collusion Among Global Warming Supporters?
Just one heck of a mess we have today. Thanks to the "scientist" of Wall Street we have seen the dot com crash, credit markets crash, real estate markets crash and possibly the global crash, so much for the elite and their politicians looking our for US. Now it looks like our TRUSTED scientist are not so trust worthy after all. Gee maybe they are acting just like Wall Street, hide till you get caught and then claim it was nothing (I ask, why hide it if it was nothing in the first place - I am not talking about the email, but the data in their reports. You know, the data that the world governments are using to create laws and rules that will effect EVERYONE IN THE WORLD HELLO!). Comments and reports are more for their own self promotion than the good of all. There is a real trend here. Even the media is caught in this mess. During the financial melt down starting way back, the media sided with the all those that said the good times would never end. Well we see they were WRONG. Now I look across the NY Time and USA Today and see very little covering this HUGE event (Kyoto - Copenhagen - Obama - global leaders are using the reports that were generated by these scientist to create global policy - ASK YOURSELF, WHO WILL GAIN FROM THIS?). The New York Times author tried to the best of his ability to dispel the emails because he was named in them. This is typical Clinton damage control. USA Today has NOTHING online. Read the article below and you just might start to wonder JUST WHAT else has been massaged to fit a purpose? The first thing that comes to mind is the most debated topic in history of the world - EVOLUTION. It just might be the time to start to look at the evidence and just where did it come from and what do we have to BACK IT UP. The world trusted our scientific elite, but just like our financiers we need look harder and dig deeper to get the REAL TRUTH. I hope everyone has a fun time in their search for the TRUTH. Just maybe we might find "who killed the electric car"

Obama's pay czar concerned firms could lose talent - Yahoo! Finance
I say GOOD! Let them all go and it will create a NEW MARKET for talent. These are the same bastards that got us in this mess in the first place. All they do is just move from one company to another. IF it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and smells like a duck IT IS A DUCK.

Brain Games and Exercise: A Drug-Free Treatment for ADHD?
For everyone looking for alternative ADD AND ADHD treatments, I find this article very beneficial.

It is a SAD day in America.
The perfect storming is brewing and no one can see it. I sit here, 5:30 am, coffee in hand, reading the head lines of the New York Times and see the largest storm ever and no one is preparing. Our nation has been hypnotized by the masters of Washington. Health care is about to crush our nation. Sub prime loans, residential real estate, commercial real estate, even the bank failures will be TINY compared to the destruction we are about to see happen to our nation. As Washingtonites walk around patting each other on the backs, Americans are about to get the shaft. Health care financing and mental health for all are coming to America and we can not afford it.
The problem has been created because we have lost track of cost and demand, demand is exceeding supply, thus driving up cost. This is totally evident in the financial crisis where Americans were duped into buying homes and goods they could not afford. The health crisis where 80-90% of all health care cost is related to poor lifestyle choices. First problem that no one sees and is evident by the article below in today's NYT telling Americans their health insurance company has been forced to provide mental health benefits on par with physical health benefits. This is a noble cause, BUT where is the money going to come from to pay for it. How is it going to be controlled? Just look a medicare and you can see how fraud can destroy a program. Or will the "insurance companies" just have to pay for it. Looks like OUR PREMIUMS are about to go up up and up some mre (AND THEY ARE) and we have no choice. Insurance companies do not even know the impact of this legislation that has been silent in the national health care debate. Politicians have taken an attitude of "do not disturb the sleeping dog". Add this to political correctness of the second article regarding people and their choices and we have the making of a perfect storm.
As most know, I am an advocate of a healthy lifestyle. I preach it, I live it. This may not be for everybody, but everyone has to do their part or nation will fail. It is happening today and it happened to Rome 2000 years ago. When will the insanity stop - I predict when we run out of money and THE ABILITY TO PRINT MONEY. We can not create a health care system that treats every thing for every body PERIOD! I am now predicting a resurgence of "smokers rights" as they should allow to be smokers just like fat people should be allowed to be fat - or should they pay more because they consume more? Obesity and the increase in chronic conditions and the cost associated with them is a fact. The problem is no one wants to talk about it. Mental health is an expense time bomb because there is no "cure", patients can be treated "for life". It is all subjective. Take for instance the mental condition of ADD & ADHD, which is found mostly in boys because of their nature they do not fit into our cookie cutter schools. Currently there are about 10 million diagnosed and drugged, this is approx 18 billion in prescriptions per year. This is just the beginning of exploding cost, because once an industry that has not seen coverage from insurance companies get coverage they get very creative in their efforts to tap this new source of income. The cash flow stream can be massive. I call it money for life.
Add the 100's of billions that will be spent on mental health, oh yea just remember the new legislation will prohibit pre-existing conditions so all companies will have to take on this cost. Oh yea do not think this will just stay with the companies with over 50 employees because the new legislation will wrap this mental health parity law into all plans and no one knows the cost. Next we add the cost to treat everyone for anything and we have a BANKRUPT NATION. It is sad day to see our politicians "high fiveing" each other when we just killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

Biggest loser of 'reform': small biz
Pelosi looks to crush small business with the burden of health care. I suggest all small business owners run for the hills or take up your arms because Washington is about to crush your bottom line. Just one quick look and SB is screwed. Here's how:
a) SB owners will have to OFFER insurance or pay 8% fine. N...EW, and look at all the fast food restaurants and service businesses that do not provide such benefits that will have to now provide all employees with health insurance - wait there's more.
b) SB owners who are already doing the right thing or NEW to the program (because of this legislation) will have to now pay 70% of the employee cost (currently 50%) and 65% of the family coverage (currently 0%) - Just think if you own a business that could not offer health insurance, you will now be forced to provide PLUS pay for 75% of the cost.
c) PREMIUMS will explode because insurance companies will have to accept the uninsured that have preexisting conditions. The uninsured that are healthy will opt for the SMALL FINE and stay uninsured. IF the uninsured get sick, no problem because the insurance companies have to accept them when they apply, no questions asked.
Just think what this will to to the cost of goods every small business sells for services provided. Prices will go up, more people will be laid off, jobs will be eliminated permanently, more part time workers. OH YES BAD NEWS. None of this addresses the root cause of the health care crisis - POOR LIFESTYLE CHOICES. The CDC and many other national organizations attribute 60-90% of all health care cost to poor lifestyle choices starting with EATING AND SMOKING. Will Americans CHANGE, they voted for it but will they change THEMSELVES?
