Rather than focus on the issues, Michelle has used her staff, surrogates and her allies in the conservative media to bring up old issues related to traffic tickets, Eric’s work on children’s issues, and even his hard work taking on establishment politicians in the Senate. …
The best person to fight for women and families
Michelle Lujan Grisham and her surrogates have suggested that only she can fight for women and families. I resent that as a woman. Eric has spent his career on the front lines of fighting for women and families as an advocate, an elected official and an active member of his community.
I hope other women and mothers will reject the attacks that Michelle Lujan Grisham and her conservative allies in the media and elsewhere have launched against Eric. I know him best. I have watched him as a loving father, dedicated husband and passionate fighter for kids who came from families like his. Those who know his heart know he is the best person to fight for women and families in Congress.

So what did Eugene J. Polley do? What was the nature of his great leap forward? Did he invent the PC? Did he invent the cell phone? Did he invent the Internet?
No. Eugene J. Polley invented the wireless remote ….
I’ve wanted to see The Fall since it came out. Tarsem Singh directed The Cell, which completely blew me away. In both movies, Tarsem features fantastical, vast landscapes – he has a painter’s eye. Many scenes in both movies are fantastically beautiful.
The Fall is also a bit of an homage to early film and to stuntmen. Above all, it celebrates imagination. However, the final half hour stumbles quite a bit. I’d recommend The Cell, instead.
In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.
Wow. Non-stop kung fu with half a dozen powerful figures in play. Quite amazing. Recommended to any martial arts fan. Best martial arts movie I’ve seen since Jade Warrior (4.7 stars) [Fri 04/08/11 at 10:47 pm]. Iron Monkey has much more action.
A long-term goal is to determine whether eating probiotic products or taking probiotic supplements regularly can change the balance of bacteria in the gut and alter emotional response to stress and other negative stimuli, Tillisch says.
John Petrini, MD, a gastroenterologist at the Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, Calif., says the findings suggest that there is "some kind of interaction" between bacteria in the gut, activity in the brain, and emotions, but that the work is "very preliminary."
A shortcoming of the study is that the researchers looked at activity in areas of the brain that they hypothesized would be involved in such an interaction, Petrini says. "There could be other [areas of the brain] that are more important."
"I wouldn’t run out and buy a lot of yogurt in hopes of becoming less emotional or less stressed," he tells WebMD.
The study was funded by Danone Research, makers of Dannon Yogurt.
May 25, 2012 — Drinking a daily glass of red wine not only tastes good to many people, but it’s also good for the bacteria lining your large intestine.
A new Spanish study suggests that sipping about 9 ounces of Merlot or a low-alcohol red wine changed the mix of good and bad bacteria typically found in the colon in ways that can benefit your health. …
Polyphenols are helpful plant-based compounds found in a variety of foods and beverages. Besides red grapes, many other fruits and vegetables are rich sources of polyphenols, as are coffee, tea, chocolate, and some nuts. …
The findings showed that the balance of intestinal bacteria shifted in the men in a similar way whether they drank the Merlot or low-alcohol red wine. In both cases, they had a larger percent of certain beneficial gut bacteria.
After drinking the polyphenol-rich beverages, the men also had lower blood pressure. It also decreased triglyceride levels, HDL cholesterol (the so-called good cholesterol), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, a measure of inflammation.
"This study was the first to show that regular, moderate consumption of red wine could have a noteworthy effect on the growth of select gut microbiota," the researchers conclude.
