Media Destruction

When I first became a father, I would insist that my wife not smoke inside the car, while our children were present. Now, I must pass similar warnings along to all new parents and add that while some studies have come up with contradictory results, when it comes to cell phone radiation... Consumer beware!

This powerful industry is quick to point out that no direct links have yet been established between prolonged radio frequency exposure and a fatal illness, but it’s basic common sense to claim that extended smartphone radiation exposure can’t bring any benefits to anyone, young or old.

Marathon Madness

The big day is almost here... When friends cross the finish line, shaming you for still being in bed after noon.

It's the NYC Marathon, and whether you're in the race, watching from the sidelines or avoiding the entire athletic event altogether, you want to know about it.

The 26.2 mile race begins around 9A in Staten Island, then continues in waves through Brooklyn, up to Long Island City, across the Queensboro bridge, up First Ave to the Bronx and back down Fifth Ave to the finish line at Central Park.

Holiday happiness

Submitted by ub on

HAPPY HOLIDAYS * As we approach the holiday season, take a moment to appreciate and recognize the fact that without our parents, we wouldn't be who we are... TEAM UP WITH THE BEST, OUR FAMILY.

Try to realize how difficult and hard it is to accomplish something on your own and appreciate the importance and the value in helping our family. This is what we all look for in people. We want someone who can appreciate the help of others, a person who values the hardships required to do important things, and who doesn't put money as an only goal in life.

He will become the world's most famous stud following today's race. American Pharoah races one last time today.

This will be his last race. There's "zero chance" the Triple Crown winner will race again after the Breeders' Cup Classic, according to Ahmed Zayat.

Hispanic jockey Victor Espinoza, who rode Pharoah for his three historic wins, will race him around the track this last time for the $5 million purse, the richest in North American racing.
