Writing is a good way to release grief, according to research which suggests that disclosing deep emotions through writing can boost immune function as well as mood and well-being. Conversely, the stress of holding in strong feelings can ratchet up blood pressure and heart rate and increase muscle tension.
Coping with Grief and Loss is something we all should confront because sooner or later, everyone will grieve the loss of a close relative or friend, whether the cause is a sudden heart attack, a car accident, or the stresses of disease or age.

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for New York City and surrounding areas from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM tomorrow, 4/24/14.
A Red Flag Warning means a combination of dry brush and gusty wind conditions support fire danger. Exercise extra caution when using outdoor gas and charcoal grills.
In addition, smokers should never carelessly discard cigarettes. Immediately report a brush fire to 911. For more information, visit http://1.usa.gov/1hpDJB1 or see the attached FDNY/OEM press release.

He was and continues to be considered the worst ever, but is he still? Today marks the birthday of former US President James Buchanan, the one many consider one of the worst of all time.
James Buchanan was the 15th president of the United States. He served from 1857 to 1861, during the build-up to the Civil War.
Buchanan was single for his entire presidency; he’s the only guy from Pennsylvania and held the presidency just before Abraham Lincoln. It’s that final black mark that Buchanan's presidency appeared to show indifference to the onset of the US Civil War.
A public relations stunt involving #MyNYPD got much more than NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT officials bargained for. Their Twitter hashtag suggestion actually backfired after getting flooded with police brutality images.
NYPD's Twitter page, @NYPDnews was asking everyone to tweet pictures of interactions between the public and city cops. The police department suggested they use the hashtag #myNYPD.
However, a few folks decided to use this rare opportunity to post photos of police brutality, some of which took place during the Occupy Wall Street movement.
