BEING AWARE OF OUR ANIMAL NEIGHBORS…

LEARNING FROM THE NATURE OF ANIMALS HELPS US BETTER UNDERSTAND OURSELVES. The storyline the filmmakers stitched together from incidents that took place during the shoot follows the survival and education of Oscar, definitely a cute little bugger, as he learns to fit in with an extended family of about 36 chimps led by grand old man Freddy. Oscar’s mother Isha, who is meant to nurse him until he’s about five, instructs her son in the finer points of selecting berries and nuts, the latter being highly coveted by a rival chimp tribe.  For much more click on:

 Chimpanzee: Film Review  www.hollywoodreporter.com

Some privileged nature footage from the African rain forest is dishonored by deeply silly narration in Chimpanzee. This fourth documentary from the Disneynature label shares with last year’s African Cats the fault of talking down and sugarcoating to coddle the tyke audience, a shame given the rarity…

ASK DR. QUESTIONS: “CHEAT SHEET ENCLOSED.”

It’s so hard anymore to get time with anyone — especially your doctor. So you really need to be prepared to make the most of each appointment.
Take heart. The federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has come up with a cheat sheet you can bone up on or even take with you to help during the visit.
 
Now, it’s true that some doctors wince when patients show up with sheafs of Internet printouts. But, as the AHRQ points out, a good conversation between doctor and patient can make a big difference in the quality of care. So don’t be bashful.
 
Plus, it would be pretty hard for anyone to argue that the standard questions suggested by AHRQ aren’t reasonable and relevant.
So, here we go:

THE REAL DAGGER IN OUR SECURITY…

I WONDER:
 
WHY WOULD OUR MILITARY DISCHARGE 58 ARAB GAY TRANSLATERS WHICH HELPS US OBTAIN TRUTHFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERRORISTS
 
BUT CONTINUE TO TORTURE THE PRISONS WHICH DO NOT GIVE US VALID INFO? -sources below
 
Homophobia Trumps National Security (flag)
blondesense.blogspot.com — Right after 9/11 the military discharged 9 Arab translators for being gay (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell). Since 9/11 the military has fired 58 Arab linguists for being gay. The first gay linguist under the Obama administration was just fired it is being reported. He is a West Point graduate and has … for more

U.S. Military Strongly Opposed Bush Admin. Torture Techniques

Thu Apr 23, 2009 at 07:22:30 AM PDT

In the wake of the Obama Administrations release of the Bush Torture Memos , it appears as though everyone is coming forward now wanting to let the American people know that their department or government establishment was not in support the sick f****ers who committed these horrific crimes in the name of our great nation. We saw the F.B.I. make clear they were opposed from the get go and now the United States Military is coming out and disclosing that their objections to the Bush Administrations illegal torture techniques , went unheard by the rogue administration.
