Control Sodium

You need salt to survive. Your body needs sodium to transmit nerve impulses, contract muscle fibers, and, along with potassium, to balance fluid levels in all your cells.

The body is so good at holding on to this vital mineral that you need to consume only a tiny amount of it each day. Too much sodium sets off a cascade of physiological changes that can raise blood pressure. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can stress the heart and blood vessels, which can lead to stroke or heart attack.

US MELTING POT KEEPS GROWING

The pressure cooker keeps boiling as that thorny issue, which has created a Republican push-back on Obama's immigration reform is still in the air and not going anywhere. But as the Congressional clock keeps ticking, we ask what is the solution? The US is now a global society.

Any effort to limit immigration with law as we did generations ago will fail because minorities are now a majority. Many try to hide their heads in the sand until years from now when they wont be around, but these folks do not realize the future is here.

RIP Leonard Nimoy

The man known for his iconic character Mr. Spock on "Star Trek," has died at age 83. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and it is safe to say that for many of his fans, Leonard Nimoy was Star Trek. Live long and prosper, dear friend.

Nimoy was a singer, a writer, a poet, a photographer, a film director and a great guy.

Will the Congressional funding expire for Homeland Security, or won't it? That is the question many are asking, but approval of a homeland security spending bill looked likely.

Today happens to be the last day Congress can approve this pending legislation before funding runs out at midnight tonight. Is this any way to run a country?

Conservative senators who object to the bill said they do not intend to use procedural moves to delay the Senate vote past the funding deadline. But why must it be this way?

What's Up With Bills?

We are not referring to bills, which live and die die on Capitol Hill. We're talking about guys named William, Will. or any other variation of Bill.

Federal Communications Commissioners, following a 3-2 vote have prohibited Internet service providers like Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon Communications and others from discriminating against any web sites, or online service.

This basically signifies that sites like Netflix, or YouTube, Google will not have to pay additional fees, or deal with sluggish connections to their users.

New sites and services like DOSE OF NEWS * www.doseofnews.com will be able to reach everyone on the Internet on the same terms as the biggies.

ABC TV

American Broadcasting Company means exactly what it says. The TV network is tops in US ratings and this in no duck tale. They are America's Broadcasting Company.

The Disney owned and operated ABC TV is enjoying success on many fronts, including news and information content.

NET NEUTRALITY TIME

The time is here to make a stand on Net Neutrality. The Obama administration says that more than any other invention of our time, the Internet has unlocked possibilities we could just barely imagine a generation ago. And here's a big reason we've seen such incredible growth and innovation: Most Internet providers have treated Internet traffic equally.

MIGRATION: IN / OUT?

The movement of foreign born individuals with their intention of settling into The United States of America has become a hot button reform issue between The President a Republican controlled Congress.
