Germiest Places In America

Jan 14 2008
(Phoenix, AZ)  –  In today’s health tip  –  America’s germiest places.  With illnesses like the common cold, flu, SARS and MRSA [[ mer-sa ]] making headlines constantly, it’s hard for Americans to feel safe from germs anywhere they go.  To help you stay on the cleaner side of life, “Health Magazine” has listed the top 12 germiest places you can encounter in your day and how to stay germ free.  One of the hottest spots for germs is your kitchen sink.  The sink is a breeding ground for germs with such a moist environment.  The kitchen sponge may be even worse, so remember to sanitize the kitchen regularly.  Public drinking fountains are also harbingers of germs, so remember to tote your own bottle around with you when you can.  And one of the more surprising locations is your laundry.  Even one pair of dirty underwear has the potential to spread E-coli to your whole load, so consider using bleach on all your whites and wash and dry your clothes in high temperatures.  Other germy hangouts included ATM buttons, shopping carts, phones and even purses.

Study: Best To Get Out Of Bed On Left Side

(London)  –  Keep this in mind when your alarm clock goes off tomorrow.  It’s better to get out of bed on the left side, according to a study done by major British hotel chain Premier Inn.  Sleep scientists, feng shui [[ feng shway ]] experts and psychologists were involved in the study.  One of them said exiting your bed on the left is associated with things people consider important such as family, health and money.  A psychology and motivation expert pointed out that the brain’s left side helps people think rationally about their day, while the brain’s right side is responsible for less positive things such as fear and stress.

MySpace Agrees To Better Protect Children

Jan 14 2008


(Hartford, CT)  –  Attorneys general from 49-states and Washington, DC have come to an agreement with MySpace, which results in the online social networking giant taking significant steps to better protect children who use the site.  The agreement will see a broad-based task force created by MySpace to begin exploring and developing age and identity verification technology.  The attorneys general have been advocating for age and identity verification because they believe it will help protect children from online sexual predators.  North Carolina AG Roy Cooper and Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal spearheaded the effort for the attorneys general.

The agreement comes after nearly two years of discussions between the company and attorneys general.  MySpace has agreed to numerous other changes in addition to the age and identity technology.  Parents will soon be able to submit their children’s e-mail address so MySpace can block those children from using the site.  The profiles of 16 and 17-year-olds will have a default private setting, which only allows approved people to view their page.  MySpace has also promised to respond to inappropriate content complaints on the site within 72-hours.

Ronnie Freeman CD Review by CMCentral

Jan 14 2008

CMCentral’s CD Review
By: Kevan Breitinger
Artist Ronnie Freeman - God Speaking

 

Nashville worship leader Ronnie Freeman’s sophomore project falls somewhere between the dramatic balladry of Daniel Kirkley and the pop power of Steven Curtis Chapman. Which is to say that his piano pop is both pleasant on the ears and spirit, and movingly, thoughtfully arranged. His worshipper’s heart shines through powerfully, leaving the telling mark of sincerity across these eleven thoughtful tracks.
Acoustic guitars open the bouncy, soulful “Breakaway,” and you are quickly struck by the soulfulness of Freeman’s vocals. His delivery on this opener is reminiscent of Jimmy Needham, with its passion and occasional rapid-fire lyrics. But things take a turn to the serious side with the nuanced, piano-driven “Fight,” covering the unseen spiritual battle that rages around us. Freeman’s keyboard talents peep through in the lovely and subtle piano flourishes throughout. Observers of pop culture will quickly recognize the lilting introduction to the title track, covered earlier by Mandisa. The dramatic piano ballad is both moving and challenging, proposing that God may be revealing Himself all around us, in circumstances as varied as a love song or the death of a loved one. The following “My Inheritance,” featuring the guest vocals of Christy Nockels, delightful as always, continues the dramatic vein on the melodic worship track.
A hooky chorus shines through the story song, “Love the Light,” shades of Steven Curtis Chapman, while more sweet piano nuances add texture to the gentle percolating pop of “The Other Side,” a song of deep gratitude. Messages of hope and victory abound on God Speaking, even on the tracks that tackle the harder issues of life. Standout track “Sober Me,” a somber piano ballad, is such a song. Freeman asks the hard questions behind the breaking up of a family with unrestrained emotion, creating a fluid and potent masterpiece of passion. The worshipful “No Changing That” also looks at the fragility of life, but chooses to celebrate the Lord’s steadfast nature through its lush piano pop.
