    CHINA BLOCKS YOUTUBE
    March 24, 2009 - China

    China is reported to have blocked access to YouTube video-sharing because of it showing videos of soldiers beating Tibetan monks and passers-by. The actual date and location of the footage cannot be confirmed. Google has reported the YouTube video-sharing web site being blocked, although it has not explained why. Information on it was made known by the official Xinhua news agency. The agency has said that it was supporters of the Dalai Lama that had fabricated the clips of Chinese police officers beating Tibetans in Lhasa. Xinhua did not identify the video, but based on their description it appears to match a video that was available on YouTube, which had been released by the Tibetan government-in-exile.

    W.B. MEADOWS
    March 24, 1921 - USA

    A 78-year-old Civil War veteran coughed up a bullet. It had been stuck in his body since 1803 , which he was shot during the Battle of Vicksburg. Despite the fact that Meadows had a bullet stuck in his head for 58 years, he seemed to be in reasonably good health at the time he disposed of it. This man was a part of the “G” 37th infantry of Alabama.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
  • Happiness
    by Thomas Jefferson

    "...Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits...."

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable. Cancer Facts & Figures
