Meditation can be challenging. Even after you've had a taste of its benefits and long for those sweet moments of inner calm, clarity, and deep connection, it can be hard to just sit. If you're like most people, you may find that one day your mind is speeding into the future, your body feels agitated, and you can't sit still, while the next day you're so lethargic that you can hardly stay awake.

With all the 10k, half marathon and marathon training I've done, I realized that the Turkey Trot 5K I'm doing in a few weeks will be my FIRST 5K EVER.
Color me baffled. A friend of mine who is a speed demon and soon-to-be Boston Qualifier, Kerrie, shared one of her favorite track workouts with me to prep for this race.

On October 7, the Congressional Budget Office released a preliminary analysis of Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus’s health-care bill. The report said that the bill would net the government $81 billion over ten years — on certain assumptions, which the report itself suggested were unrealistic.
The report, for one thing, factored in $200 billion in reduced physician payments under Medicare.

My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.
Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.

Judge Thomas Connolly ruled that the Republicans' claim was legally inadequate, noting in his four-page decision that, "the Party does not cite any case law in support of its argument."
