This Wiccan soldier dies in Afghanistan and the military won't put his religious symbol on his plaque. His faith is "unrecognized."

My wife made an interesting point--if so many religious folks want more religion in schools, we should give it to them--Wicca, Satanism, Budhism, Islam etc.

Will Steve Jobs Be Disney's Big Cheese?

Will Steve Jobs Be Disney's Big Cheese?: "if Disney does buy Pixar, Jobs would become the company's most important player for no other reason than the large chunk of Disney stock he would get in the transaction. He would be its largest shareholder -- by far. According to media analyst Richard Greenfield, at the $7 billion price tag now being talked about, Jobs would own about 6% of Disney's stock -- with the retired Eisner ironically next, with 1.7%, according to last year's proxy. (Roy Disney is believed to hold less than 1%.)"

From Googles, "A resolution for well-being":

". . .here's a short review of the findings of a recent study by J. A. Iestra that appears in a 2005 issue of the journal Circulation. It's called "Effect Size Estimates of Lifestyle and Dietary Changes on All Cause Mortality in Coronary Artery Disease Patients." Iestra's data showed notable reductions in coronary artery disease -- and mortality -- when patients make these changes:

• Diet change: 40-45%
• Smoking cessation: 35-50%
• ACE inhibitors (for blood pressure): 26%
• More physical activity: 20-30%
• Beta blockers (for blood pressure): 23%
• Statins (for cholesterol): 21%
• Aspirin: 18%
• Moderate alcohol: 14-20%
