With Greater Cincinnati’s worst storm of the season fast approaching and much of the nation already covered in snow, PETA is offering tips about how to keep animals safe in cold weather — along with a little help from Country singer Loretta Lynn.
Although they are naturally equipped with fur coats, dogs and other animals still can suffer from frostbite and exposure, and they can become dehydrated when water sources freeze.

The nonprofit Building Value organization (which recycles and resells building materials) hosts its first ReUse-apalooza tonight to celebrate the benefits of reuse through art.

It is Sunday night,
and I am suddenly awake at the crack of too-close gunfire. I creep to
the window without turning on the light, more curious than afraid until
I remember I don’t know if my daughter and her friends are home
from their movie. Look

Over the past several months, Senate leaders have been contemplating imposing an obesity tax on non-diet sugary drinks in an effort to help pay for a renovation of the country’s health care system and lower consumption of a product presumed to be a crucial contributor to obesity in the U.S. Congressional estimates state that a tax of 3 cents per 12-ounce drink could potentially raise up to $50 billion over 10 years.

This is "Bike to Work Week," the happiest time of year (next to Halloween of course) in my book.
If you're on two wheels this week and the weather turns dry, you're in luck.

I often tell people
not to ask me for statistics, because in the work I do all the statistics
are bad. Ask me for stories instead, I say, because even in the worst
of times I always have a good story. Whether it is one of my own or
comes from someone else

My desk is a mess.
It’s not so much a factor of having too much stuff - virtually
everything on it has a purpose. The problem is that I collect too many
little pieces of paper and various other items and I tend to not spend
enough time organizing them and dealing with them in a constructive
fashion. My desk usually winds up being a mess of notes jotted on
pieces of paper, magazines, photocopied articles from the library,
books, photographs, and various correspondence that I need to attend to
or file away somewhere.

It's not exactly a stimulus package, but every little bit helps.

I think I'm in love. Just think: Instead of pulling out my gear at the bar to test my levels, all I'll have to do is check my skin. So in love.
Fantastic research has developed a ink using nano technology that can be used in tattoo and will change if blood sugar levels get outside the normal range. Of course this is all still experimental.
