Exploring Louisville's Urban Bourbon Trail {Gadling}
Apr 22nd 2012 7:50PM Why no mention of the Jim Beam distillery, just a few miles south of Louisville and the makers of excellent Bourbon?
Facebook, PayPal Entrepeneur Pays Kids to Drop Out of College {ParentDish}
May 27th 2011 8:27PM I worked at a university in the late 1980's and early 1990's as an administrative assistant on government grants. The behavior exhibited by some of the professors and some of the students amazed me. One minority female student was on the verge of receiving her Masters degree in education administration, she could not write a letter that made any sense, it contained terrible spelling and sentence structure. She, the student, wrote a commendation for one of the professors of my acquaintance who asked me (a high school graduate) to re-write the letter and have the student sign it. This is one example of many I observed while working in the College of Education. No wonder the schools are in so much trouble. Teachers cannot teach what they do not know.
Skin Care Myths: Fact or Fiction? {Stylelist (Main)}
Mar 18th 2011 8:11PM Years ago, before all the research and new products for acne, my brother had a bad case. My mother determined that he needed iron. She bought an iron supplement and his acne was cleared up within a short time and he was never bothered with skin problems again. Mary

Mar 7th 2011 8:03PM I was never a morning person but now that I am retired and could sleep in, my first thought is, "Where's the coffee?" My husband, who gets up before me, makes the coffee and the smell gets me up and leads me to the kitchen and that precious first cup. Maggi

Feb 28th 2011 7:58PM I do a lot of stretching, reaching for the stars and swaying from side to side for my upper body and stepping up and down on the stairs for my lower body. Both of these take care of my middle quite well.
Skechers Shape-ups Blamed for Hip Fractures in Lawsuit {That's Fit}
Feb 16th 2011 8:05PM My daughter experienced the same problem. She is currently in re-hab to correct the problem the shoes caused. Question for all the critical people's comments. If you bought shoes that promised what these shoes promised, no matter what profession you are in, why would you think the shoes were causing the problem???

Nation's Report Card Shows Reading Levels of High School Seniors Are Worse Than 20 Years Ago {ParentDish}
Nov 22nd 2010 8:10PM In the early 1990's I worked at a local university as an administrative assistant on grants in the College of Eduation. I was shocked many times by the bottle feeding and hand-holding of some students who were there compliments of the United States Government. The could not write a legible sentence and they did not know enough of the alphabet to file cards in a library. These people were sent out to teach. I fear for my grandchildren (whose parents are concerned and involved in education) and subsequent
generations who will have to deal with the masses who will not be able to read or write nor will they be able to work at any job and they will not be able to educate their children (and they will have children). The problem goes around and around. Is there a solution? Surely there is someone, somewhere who can change this sad situation. I feel so bad when I hear that other countries (countries that I was taught needed to change to keep up with the United States of America) have by-passed us in many areas, especially education of our precious future populations.

Do Toning Shoes Really Work? {That's Fit}
Aug 11th 2010 9:20PM I agree with JM Sheff....my daughter bought Sketchers last Christmas with some gift certificates she received as gifts and was so very happy with them. Until recently when she started have excruciating pain in her hips, back and down her legs. Now her doctor has her on Prednizone and is sending her for an MRI. Everyday someone or some company comes out with the answer to everyone's problem and all they do is make money. More testing needs to be done on these miracle???? shoes.
