New Study on Diet and Exercise
Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 4:14PM MAD21 MSNBC reports, "Exercise Not Likely to Rev Up Your Metabolism." A new study proving, yet again, that exercise alone won't help you lose weight or stay healthy. Diet is just as, if not more important to your health.
Google Facing Antitrust Scrutiny
Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 4:03PM MAD21 According to Daniel Lyons of Newsweek, the results to our searches on Google may not be as full/complete as we would expect. But apparently the results we get are more controlled than we think.
In Mr. Lyons article, "Why Google Faces Antitrust Scrutiny," he states, "...the real genius of Google was that it figured out that advertisers would pay to have their messages pop up when someone types in a keyword. For instance, a hotel chain might pay to show ads to anyone who types in "hotel in Phoenix." Those search ads now represent the biggest chunk of all Internet advertising. Google gets the lion's share, which has allowed it to amass such power that it may end up the target of a federal antitrust investigation."
Falling In Love All Over Again

[Editor's Note: Chuck and his wife returned home safely yesterday, exhausted but excited to share their experiences with everyone. They spent their time in Honduras visiting families, working for Compassion, and spent a day visiting with the three kids their own family sponsors. To give Chuck time to get settled back in town, and at his 'day job,' as well as give him some time to write a new article for us, he asked us to re-post his blog post about the day he spent with the kids his family sponsors. Enjoy.]
(Thursday, May 21, 2009) Today was child visitation day! This was the day two years ago that changed my life forever. Those that know me and know my story understand the impact that meeting my sponsored child meant and how Compassion became my focus. I can never really put into words what a day like this is truly like. The emotional highs and lows are hard to describe. The doubts and fears that I had two years ago were not present. It was more like nervous anticipation about the entire day. We would be seeing Linda and Jeyelly for the second time and meeting Jorge for the first time.
