Movie Review
The Help — Rating: 3.5 STARS
The Help is a unique story about Southern white society in Jackson, Mississippi and the black domestic help who serve it. Of course, this story could not have been written 50 years ago as society was not ready to accept what it would be like to be a black maid working for a white woman in Jackson in the early 60s. Still it focuses on three women in particular who conspire to write “in secret” a book that will ultimately turn Jackson on its ear, no pun intended.
Talk about a stellar cast – Emma Stone, Octavia Spenser, Sissy Spacek, Ms. Cicely Tyson, Viola Davis, Allison Janney, Mary Steenburgen, Leslie Jordan – all are perfectly cast and portraying their uniquely Southern characters. However, because of the straightforward social situations of this film it may not be suitable for everyone, even though it does carry a PG-13. Children in particular might find certain scenes harsh due to the complex emotions and social situations – suggestive domestic violence, the overall social situations and the profanity. But these issues were to be had in the South during the 60s.
Overall, the story is compelling, funny, sad, touching, a bit stinging and very much heartbreaking. Nonetheless, its theme of courage and standing for what’s right couldn’t have come at a better time. Look at our society today!

Marine to Receive Medal of Honor at White House
(CNN) — Two years ago, Dakota Meyer repeatedly ran through enemy fire to recover the bodies of fellow American troops during a firefight in Afghanistan. The U.S. military says Meyer ultimately saved the lives of 13 U.S. Marines and solders. Though Sgt. Meyer had lost his whole team and saw himself as a failure, the Marines didn’t see it that way. He will be the first living Marine recipient to be awarded the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force.
One U.S. Industry has added 306,000 Jobs in the Last Year
(CNN) — The U.S. economy as a whole did not add any new jobs in August, and unemployment remained at 9.1 percent, according to the Labor Department on Friday. Manufacturing lost 3,000 jobs, retail lost 8,000, and government lost 17,000. Yet, health care added 30,000 jobs last month, and in the last year has added 306,000 jobs, far outpacing other industries.
Nobel prize-winning economist Michael Spense sees the rise in health care jobs as part of an economy-wide shift in the U.S. from jobs in the tradable sector to jobs in the non-tradable sector. The tradable sector, which includes manufacturing, produces jobs and services, the can be consumed anywhere. Globalization has taken many of these jobs abroad in the last decade. Compare this with the non-tradable sector that produces goods and services which must be consumed domestically, such as with health care and government.
Spence sees this shift from tradable to non-tradable as predating the recent economic crisis. Of the roughly 27 million jobs created in the U.S. between 1990 and 2008, 98 percent were in non-tradable sector of the economy.
Mysterious Light seen in Southwestern Sky
(CNN) — What exactly was seen in the skies across the Southwestern U.S. Wednesday night? Was it a meteor, a falling satellite or, perhaps, something more mysterious? A streak of light some described as a fireball is see shooting across the night sky. The sighting quickly became a hot topic on a number of social media websites. “The 911 call center received a flood of calls,” an Arizona officer said.
Israel warns against Unilateral Palestinian Move
Jerusalem (CNN) — A U.N. report says Israeli occupation is keeping Palestinian politics “stagnant.” A declaration of statehood would have “dire consequences,” Israel’s foreign minister says. The Palestinians plan to take their plea to the United Nations. The U.S. said it will veto the question if it comes to the U.N. Security Council. “Our objective is not to intensify with anyone or to isolate anyone, or to de-legitimize another,” Mansour said. “Our objective is to legitimize our rights and to advance the cause of the two-state solution.”
Florida’s Poverty Rate Rises
(Miami Herald) -- More than one in six Floridians are living poverty --the highest it has been in more than a decade, according to Census figures released this week. Sixteen percent of Floridians were below the poverty level in 2010, up from 14.6 percent in 2009 reflecting a continuation of a steady climb in recent years. Florida's 2010 rate is the highest it has been since 1995 when it was 16.2 percent.
Florida passes up over $100 Million in Federal Grants
(Associated Press) -- Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-led Legislature have rejected or declined to pursue more than $106 million in federal grant money and returned another $4.5 million for programs linked to the federal health care initiatives, including cancer prevention. Scott ordered state agencies to reject any monies tied to President Barack Obama’s health care plan, which Florida is challenging in court. However, Scott kept more than $13 million for a four-year abstinence education grant and for another coordinating background checks for long-term care workers. Leading critics to say he is putting his conservative agenda ahead of residents' needs.
President Obama’s jobs plan touts $7.5 billion, up to 63,000 jobs for Florida
(Palm Beach Post) -- Florida could haul in $7.52 billion used to create or save 63,000 jobs through President Obama's proposed American Jobs Act, according to projections released by the White House. Gov. Rick Scott is waiting to see whether the money comes with a commitment that the state provides future funding for jobs created or saved or for infrastructure. In the past, Scott has declined to compete for such funding.

Today’s Highlights
Can we now add "Let-em Die to NO"? and Guest Appearance by Dr. Harinath Sheela
By Jose Miranda
September 17, 2011
Orlando — Charles Dickens, “A Tale of Two Cities” once wrote:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
We live in times when truth is not believed even when it’s laid out in plain sight. Why is that? What causes the average person to suddenly act like they are on another planet where common senses have been overwhelmed and all that is left is an abyss that is easily filled with nonsense.
Clearly our political system is a maze of hypocrisy with one set eagerly pushing the other set with half-truths and outright lies and what’s left because of the times we are living in are some type of zombies wishing for days of yore. Simpler times where Ozzie & Harriet, Leave it to Beaver reigned supreme but you guys always knew that wasn’t real right?
There are no days of yore only the right now and America has some issues to get over. America has forgotten hope and determination or at least has placed a hold on the concept and taken to believing the bullshit.
Saturday Ysl with Jose and Haydee brought their “A” game once again to remind there listening audience that it’s up to us to make the difference to make this the best of our times
This month is Cancer awareness and Ysl was joined by Dr. Harinath Sheela of Digestive and Liver Center of Florida. The main address is 100 N Dean Road, Suite 101, Orlando FL 32825, 407-384-7388. Dr. Sheela is a Yale University Graduate and is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
It’s a tough subject on any day but Colon Cancer is among the most common cancers affecting people over 40 each year but among the most curable of cancers if caught in time. Colon cancer affects both men and women equally and African and Hispanic Americans more frequently, some of it is genes some due to diets and such. Dr Sheela suggest that people over the age of 45 be checked yearly especially if they have a history in family of prostate cancer. Want to know more tune into the archives and listen to “Talk Radio, The Way It Ought To Be” and find out what else Dr. Sheela had to say.

Making an Entrance with Color and Style
September 17, 2011
This fall brightly colored hues are hot and, perfect for punching up the clean silhouettes. And, this season, you will be seeing a lot of striking colors because this is going to be the banner for many garments -- dresses, pants, skirts, blouses, and more. In striking cobalt blues, to bold vivid shades like maroons, camel and caramel; and, mid-tone colors like purple, orange, magenta and reds. Other hues that will be making a statement this fall are gold, silver, teal and turquoise.
It’s the 40s, 60s and 70s all mixed in together giving a whole new take on old favorites that will have you looking at your wardrobe in a totally new way. From the flowing maxi dresses that make a groovy transition into the cooler weather to the ladylike tea dresses which can be paired up with an animal-print coat, and the preppy platform penny loafers that can lift any flared trousers to new heights.
While dresses have veered more on the conservative side than ever before -- more of the mid-calf to floor lengths styles -- it will still have a healthy dose of sexiness with hip grazing slits. And, let’s not forget the tuxedo chic look which adds a little femme-fatale flare to any look -- white shirt, black bottom and black neck piece -- all hot and exudes confidence.
Plaids and tartans are also big and bold this fall. From the in-your-face rustic weave to the modest unobtrusive checks of seasons past. And, straight out of the pages of WWII are the flirty skirts with lace top to floating jumpsuits in shades of deep, rich blues replacing the old grays and greens that were resemblance of the military look. Even ponchos are getting a lot of attention for all cape and poncho lovers, even those preppy types who are seeking more of a glam-out easy throw chic look.
Though leather remains a favorite for fall, it will have found a new way of expression -- from flirty skirts, tapered or flared pants, to pencil skirts especially when you pair it with a casual chic tops, sweatshirt-like sweaters or button ups.
However, for those who wish to channel their inner MATRIX go with coats that reach all the way to the floor. These duster coats have reached the mainstream and look impossibly glamorous, especially when paired with the textured, film separates. But it can be a tricky style to pull off especially if you are petite.

Jets Look to keep Momentum Going as Jags Visit New York
(ESPN/NFL) — The last time the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars met, Mark Sanchez and Maurice Jones-Drew played large roles in an exciting game. The health – and protection – of each could be a factor when the teams meet again Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Sanchez threw for 212 years and a touchdown in the ninth start of his career, and Jones-Drew ran for 123 yards and a core Nov. 15, 2009, when the Jaguars won 24-22 on a Josh Scobee field goal as time expired. It marked the sixth victory in eight all-time meeting for Jacksonville (1-0) over New York (1-0). Though Sanchez and Jones-Drew each believe they are healthy enough to play at a high level Sunday, their respective teams have taken precautions.

Heart Check
September 17, 2011
Get to know how your heart really works -- and what it may be trying to tell you -- with these tips from “YOU, the Owner’s Manual.”
When you feel your own pulse pressing upward to your skin, what do you picture going on inside your body? Most of us picture the heart beating like a drum or like a ball being squeezed. But the heart really twists or wrings blood out like wringing water from a town, more than thumps. After that, it's on to the rest of the body.
Your heart is like the main hub in a subway system, the place through which all trains must travel. Your arteries and veins are the tracks and tunnels, which transport passengers (blood) to stations throughout your body.
Now, what happens if there's a break in the tracks, or some kind of obstruction won't let the trains get through? In the case of the subway, you'd have some pretty irate customers. And in your body, if the blockage goes on long enough, it could shut down vital organs. Yep, we're talking total system failure. To get a better idea of how things can go wrong, let's take a look inside.
Aging Arteries -- When your arteries are clear and uninjured, blood can easily flow through them. But several things can throw a wrench into this process, such as:
• Nicks: Factors you can largely control, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and high homocysteine, can nick the smooth inner layer of the arteries.
• Clogs: When a nick forms, your body rushes to repair the wound with cholesterol. And in its zeal to heal, it slaps on the bad stuff (LDL cholesterol) like too much plaster over a hole. This triggers inflammation, which signals white cells to invade the area.
• Clots: The resulting plaque becomes irritated and ruptures, which prompts a blood clot to form. And if the clot suddenly closes off the artery -- Boom! It can cause a heart attack, a stroke, impotence, and, and memory loss.
Short-Circuiting -- About half of people with coronary artery disease also develop electrical problems. The effect is irregular heartbeats, like atrial fibrillation. The miracle of today's medicine is that people prone to irregular rhythms can get an implant put into their chest that shocks the heart back to regular beats.
Leaky Plumbing -- Heart valves keep blood from leaking backward into the chambers it has just left. The most common valve problem is mitral valve prolapse, in which the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle doesn't slam shut fully. The faulty process irritates the nerves in the atrium, which in turn can cause palpitations and sweating. The condition can be treated with medicine, but most people end up outgrowing it.
Taking Control -- The good news is that you don't have to sit around and wait for stuff to go wrong inside your heart and arteries. There are things you can do right now to halt unnecessary aging and wear and tear.

Democrats Play Down, Republicans Play Up GOP Upset
September 17, 2011
Washington (CNN) –House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer Wednesday said the Republican upset in the special election in New York shows voters are anxious about the economy, but he downplayed any fallout for President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats.
"I think it was an opportunity for people just to say I'm not happy and this is how I'm going to reflect it," Hoyer told CNN about GOP candidate Bob Turner's win over Democrat Dave Weprin.
But New York Republican Rep. Peter King, who celebrated the win with Turner Tuesday night, predicted Democrats on the Hill would immediately distance themselves from the president.
"I think it's going to be harder for Democrats to stand with the president on controversial votes," King said.
But Hoyer dismissed that assertion, saying "I think Democrats will stand with the president where they agree with him and they will bring up their alternative views when they don't." The number two House Democrat (Steny Hoyer) also pointed out that Republicans have shifted their own tone, signaling they are open to compromise on the president's jobs plan, after hearing concerns from voters after the summer recess.
King credited former Democratic New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who supported the GOP candidate, for making the Obama's administration position on Israel a central issue in the special election. Hoyer also agreed Koch played a key role.
"His [the president's] policy is weak -- Ed Koch exposed the policy for what it was," King said.
