Movie Review:
Kung Fu Panda 2 — rating: 4.0 STARS
“Kung Fu Panda 2” is undeniably sweet! This film is not only delightful but will keep children interested, no matter how young. It does get a little dark but not alarmingly so. Po still delivers the same wonderful shenanigans as the first. The script is good; however, the visuals are brilliant and will leave you breathless. Overall the film was quite enjoyable. So when you’re looking to break away just a little escape from the familiar family routine get-together this movie is a must see. You’ll be glad you did!

President Obama is rebuked by House for using Troops in Libya
Washington (AP) — President Barack Obama has been criticized by the House of Representatives for using US forces against Libya without congressional approval. The House adopted a resolution, by 268-145, rebuking the president. It said the president has failed to provide a “compelling rationale” for the nearly three-month old operation to aid rebels. Democrats and Republicans complained the president ignored the constitutional authority of Congress. The non-binding measure insists President Obama provide details on the scope of the mission and its costs within 14 days. It also bars US ground forces, except to rescue a US service member.

NATO uses Attack Helicopters for first time in Libya Air Assault
(CNN) — NATO used attack helicopters for the first time Saturday as part of its military operation aimed at increasing pressure on Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s regime. “The use of attack helicopters provides the NATO operation with additional flexibility and engage pro-Gadhafi forces who deliberately target civilians and attempt to hide in populated areas,” NATO said in a statement. Western Libya is where rebels and pro-Gadhafi forces are in combat.

Boeing to Lay Off 150 Space Workers
Cape Canaveral FL (clickorlando) — The Boeing Co. will lay off 150 of its 515 Kennedy Space Center workers on August 5, providing the last shuttle mission, scheduled for July 8, is complete. The layoffs could come later if the launch is delayed. Meanwhile, nationwide 510 Boeing employees were issued layoff notices today. Some 260 employees in Houston and 100 in Huntington Beach, CA, received them in addition to the KSC workers. The company hopes to redeploy some personnel to the International Space Station and Commercial Crew Development programs in Florida, while aircraft assembly plants, such as the one gearing up in Charleston, S.C., could hire other Boeing workers from Florida.

New Law Bans Baggy Pants
Orlando FL (clickorlando) — Students in Florida won’t be spanked, but they will be punished if they don’t pull up their pants. Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday signed the bill, championed by state Sen. Gary Siplin, of Orlando, into law. The bill bans students in Florida from wearing clothing that exposes their undergarments or indecently exposes body parts while at school.

Parents Be Warned!
First time offenders will be warned and their parents or guardians notified. Second offence, the student will be withheld from extracurricular activities for five days. Third violation would result in a three-day in-school suspension.

Boy 12, Indicted in Brother’s Killing
Jacksonville FL (clickorlando) — A 12-year-old boy was indicted Thursday in Jackson on first-degree murder charges in the beating death of his 2-year-old brother. Cristian Fernandez beat David Galarriago on March 14th at the Carrington Place Apartments in the 11800 block of Alden Road according to the state attorney’s office.

Fernandez is the youngest person ever indicted on murder charges in Duval County; and, the fact that we indicated a 12-year-old in and of itself is a stunning event and a sad event in our prosecutorial lives that we had to do this, but it is the only legal mechanism that we can use to protect the community from this particular defendant at this point, State Attorney Angela Corey said.

Today’s Highlights...
YSL Host knows How to “Fuel the Fire!” and Deon Long makes a Guest Appearance
by Haydee Ayala
June 4, 2011
Orlando, FL — It’s amazing how easily sparks will fly when the topic is smoldering to begin with. And, that’s just what happened this afternoon in the studio of YSL. The second YSL host Jose Miranda pointed out the actions of Gov. Rick Scott who quietly sign into law several major bills dealing with prescription, drugs, Medicaid, growth management, vouchers, the so-call “baggy pants” and more.

Yet a great many of low-income Americans feel besieged and beleaguered and mostly singled out. Still the “King” didn’t blink an eye as he signed those 48 bills last Thursday. Will his personal gain be every Americans’ loss? Why can’t he focus on the immediate and more pressing issues like jobs, wages and the housing market?

Perhaps that would be too difficult a task as the governor is living in a different universe. However, have things backfired on the governor and the GOP-controlled legislature? And is more conflict brewing between Scott and the Republican GOP? We’ll see as many lawsuits continue to flood the courts to block the “King’s” executive orders.

Many listeners of the show either agree or disagree nonetheless it is a forum to openly discuss any topic especially those that breed of injustice against the American people regardless of their status in life.

Next Miranda introduces Deon Long who admitted to the YSL host that he was in favor of the Ryan Plan – a plan that if it remains intact, the negative effects of this proposal will affect future retirees, working families and the poor. We at YSL admit that Medicare needs to be changed but these proposed cuts are way too severe. Are we returning to the 19th Century where Americans were forced to sleep on piles of straw because they couldn’t afford beds? What message are we truly sending to the American people!

Now Mr. Long who is no stranger to the world of politics and although he might agree with Ryan Plan in part may not agree with all that it proposes. Long has not admitted that he will run for office in 2012 but did say if he does he will make that decision sometime in the summer. Well one thing is certain he has earned favor with one of our listeners providing the new rezoning law does not hamper her vote.

This concludes our broadcast for today. If you want to hear more on today’s program please visit our archived shows. And don’t forget to come back next week for more head spinning headlines!


Fashion...
Summer Dresses!
June 4, 2011
Let’s face facts! We are always looking forward to the summer months especially if one lives here in Florida since women are inspired by the season to be creatively fashionable, feminine, and exciting. Just feeling the sun touch our skin somehow rejuvenates us, allowing us to bare all. No more turtlenecks or cashmere sweaters. It is time to let loose and store those garments away.

I’m sure your wondering what the hottest and trendiest summer dresses are for 2011. If you haven’t decided to enhance your wardrobe here are few suggestions.

First consider the occasion. If it’s a cocktail dress you seek then there are several options but there was one that caught my eye — a gorgeous metallic summer cocktail thigh-high dress with a v-neckline and back fringe which hangs slightly off from the shoulders. It was quite trendy and shimmering with lacy details. But if that’s not for you consider a sexy sequined summer cocktail dress. Just stay within the light creamy colors and more sophisticated looking ones.

Second is the long maxi summer dress. This style allows you to be carefree and elegant without feeling so dressed up. More importantly, it is suitable for just about any body shape and you can wear them whatever the occasion.

Third is the cute and flirty white summer dress. Perfect for day or night; and, as we all know white is always very trendy during the summer hot months. By choosing a white summer dress you can’t go wrong because white is your classic black.

No matter the dress, choose one according to your personal style. Dress in a way that will make you feel confident about the way you look. Select a dress that compliments and meshes with your chosen style.

Eagles QB Kolb tries to Stay Positive while Trade Rumors Swirl
(NFL) – Lawyers for the NFL and its players met before a three-judge panel Friday at the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals with the judges considering the league’s appeal of an injunction lifting the nearly three-month lockout. Kermit Bye, the presiding judge in the hearing—and the lone dissenter in the appeals court’s previous decisions to stay U.S. District Judge Susan Nelson’s April 25 ruling—said after the 90-minute hearing that the judges would rule “in due course.”
Bye added that the panel “wouldn’t be all that hurt if you go out and settle that case” and warned the decision will be one that neither party likes. That decision likely will come in 2 to 6 weeks.

Scientists Say Oral Sex May Led to Throat Cancer
June 4, 2011
In a new study, US scientists suggest that people who have oral sex with 5 or more partners during their lifetime have a much greater chance of having throat cancer and they suspect the cause is a well known strain of the Human papillomavirus (HPV) that is linked to a number of anogenital cancers. US scientists have said there is strong evidence linking oral sex to cancer, and urged more study of how human papillomaviruses may be to blame for a rise in oral cancer among white men.

The research was conducted by Dr. Maura Gillison of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, US, and colleagues.

Scientists already knew that HPV was doing something at the molecular level to help trigger a type of throat cancer known as oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma, but consistent epidemiological evidence was still missing.

Researchers have found a 225-percent increase in oral cancer cases in the United States from 1974 to 2007, mainly among white men, said Maura Gillison of Ohio State University.
Previous studies have suggested that people who have performed oral sex on six or more partners over a lifetime face an eight-fold higher risk of acquiring HPV-related head or neck cancer than those with fewer than six partners, she said.

The results suggested that once the link with HPV is present, there is no added risk from tobacco use and alcohol consumption, usually regarded as the highest risk factors for this type of throat cancer.

Dr Gillinson and colleagues suggest that HPV “drives” the cancer and once the cell is sufficiently disrupted to cause cancer, the impact of tobacco and alcohol is unlikely to contribute any more risk.

A study published earlier this month in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the HPV vaccine could prevent 90 percent of genital warts in men, and the vaccine has also been approved against anal cancer in men and women.

Harper said she was not recommending the general population get the HPV vaccine because research has not yet established its effectiveness past five to eight years for cervical cancer.
Teens really have no idea that oral sex is related to any outcome like STIs (sexually transmitted infections), HPV, chlamydia, and so on.

Politics...
Gov. Scott quietly signs 48 bills including Medicaid overhaul – into Law
June 4, 2011
Tallahassee (Florida Tribune) — Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday quietly signed into law nearly 50 bills, including sweeping measures on Medicaid and growth management as well as legislation that expands vouchers and the use of online education.
Scott signed both HB 7107 and 7109 which call for an overhaul of the state’s $22 billion Medicaid program and replaces it one that will competitively bid it among interested managed care plans. The legislation also includes lawsuit limits for providers who work in the program.

The plan does not extend the five-county reform project currently underway in Broward, Duval, Baker, Clay and Nassau counties. Instead, it establishes a new program where long term care and care for women and children is delivered through a managed care model.

The Medicaid overhaul, however, will need approval from the federal government before it can be carried out.

Scott also signed significant education bills. HB 1329 overhauls the McKay Scholarship program, which offers public or private school vouchers to students with certain mental and physical disabilities. The legislation opens up those who are eligible to receive the vouchers to a wide range of disabilities. HB 7197 mandates that every student take at least one online course prior to graduation and that statewide assessments be administered online by the 2014-2015 school year. The bill also allows a massive expansion of the use of online education. The bill creates virtual charter schools and blended-learning charter schools, and authorizes the Florida Virtual School to provide full-time virtual education to students in grades K-12 and part-time to students in grades 4-12.

Scott also signed HB 883, which would ban cities and counties from regulating the nutritional content and marketing of food in restaurants. The legislation will help derail any efforts to ban Happy Meals served by McDonald’s, which have come under fire by doctors and anti-obesity advocates.

The governor also signed HB 97 – which would prohibit health plans sold through an insurance exchange from selling abortion as part of the policy. Insurance exchanges are a key part of federal health care reform that is scheduled to start operating in 2014.
Another health care bill signed by Scott on Thursday was HB 395. The bill makes changes to how Shands Gainesville and Shands Jacksonville operate, and gives the hospitals and affiliated clinics and practices – as well as any other not-for-profit subsidiary that may be created –- sovereign immunity.

Here are a few others:
HB 155, the so-called "Glocks and docs" bill, which restricts discussions between doctors and their patients about gun ownership. It was a watered-down version of a tougher measure sought by the National Rifle Association that wanted to penalize doctors who questioned their patients about gun ownership.

HB 1193, which says people cannot be compelled to buy health insurance, except in limited circumstances, which is a response to the new federal health care law that will mandate that coverage beginning in 2014.

HB 965 which expands the use of state vouchers provided to disabled students under the John McKay scholarship program. The measure increases the number of conditions for qualifying students.

HB 1331 which makes it easier for students in low-performing schools to take advantage of vouchers.

HB 965 which increases the amount of the corporate tax deduction companies receive for sponsoring voucher scholarships.

SB 228, the so-called "baggy pants" bill, which requires local school boards to adopt dress codes banning clothes that "expose underwear or body parts in an indecent or vulgar manner."
