The Obama administration is offering training grants just like those offered to people who have H-1B visa for US citizens that more than doubles the amount offered to non U.S. citizens. Here is the link You can read it on page 22 2nd paragraph.
The following is an excerpt from The National Economic Council May 2012: The Administration has invested $342 million in competitive grants to provide American workers with training, job placement, and other assistance in the high-skilled occupations and industries for which employers are now using H-1B visas to hire temporary foreign workers. Of the total H-1B Technical Skills Training Grants awarded, more than $163 million has been designated to provide on-the-job training, allowing participants to learn new skills while earning a regular paycheck – a critical investment to help small businesses find skilled labor.

President Obama is not threatening to your 2nd Amendment Rights
President Obama
is not threatening to your 2nd Amendment Rights
Randall Gartman
Merchandising Manager at CDC– BME Stihl posted the following comment on
capitolcolumn.com:
“He (Ron Paul)
will (endorse Mitt Romney) because he wants Obama out badly. Next president
appoints judges and that is what determines the tiny bit of rights we think we
might have. If Obama is elected, the judges he appoints will vote down 2nd
amendment. Without that one we will face hard tyranny. Not soft like we have
been facing.”
If the President
was going to appoint judges to vote down the 2nd amendmant... he would have
done it already. President Obama signed legislation letting people
carry concealed weapons in national parks and in checked luggage on Amtrak
trains. The current administration only plans to continue “enforcing
the laws on the books”. The Obama administration has
remained mostly silent on expressing any support for stronger gun laws. Gun
laws are not the focus of this administration. The
focus has been on the issues that voters deemed most important in 2008…
healthcare and education. Most recently the administration has focused on the new
most important issue to voters… job creation. Currently there isn’t
even permanent appointed leadership at the agency that polices the
gun industry. As you can see there is no need to worry about the
2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution being struck down
under the Obama administration.

Fast Food Kid’s meals are not as Unhealthy as you Might Think
A new report released
Thursday asserts a Chick-fil-A kid’s meal is among the five worst fast food
kids meals that claim to be healthy, The report is obviously slanted and biased. The report, which was commissioned by the
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, says Chick-fil-A's Grilled
Nuggets Kids Meal contains the same amount of cholesterol as a McDonald's Big
Mac. Chick-fil-A’s grilled nuggets do
not contain the same amount of cholesterol as a McDonald’s Big Mac. The Big Mac has 75mg of cholesterol and the
grilled nuggets have 65mg.
According to the
article, when the six grilled nuggets are paired with waffle fries and low-fat
chocolate milk, the meal has 570 calories, 19 grams of fat, 75 milligrams of
cholesterol, 1,150 milligrams of sodium and 23 grams of sugars, the report
says. The healthy kid’s meal was not
meant to be paired with waffle fries and chocolate milk. Six grilled nuggets only contain 110
calories. When six grilled nuggets are
paired with a fruit cup and milk the meal is only 250 calories. Get 4 nuggets instead of six and the total
becomes 220 calories.
The report claims that
grilled chicken contains large amounts of PhIP, "a potent carcinogen that
may play a role in the development of breast, prostate and other
cancers." But, PhIP occurs when any
meat whether cooked at home or not that is cooked above 392 F or cooked on
direct heat.
The other kid’s meals on
the list include the McDonald's Cheeseburger Happy Meal, the Sonic Kids' Jr.
Burger Meal, and the Burger King Hamburger Kids Meal. The McDonald's Cheeseburger Happy Meal
includes a Cheeseburger, fries, apple slices, and a drink (I used milk in my
calculations) at 520 calories the meal also contains 100mg of vitamin C (170%)
and only 50mg of cholesterol (16%). The
Sonic Kids' Jr. Burger Meal is 550 calories when you order a Jr. Burger, APPLE
SLICES W/FAT-FREE CARAMEL DIPPING SAUCE, and an Apple juice box and the burger
only contains 35mg of cholesterol. The
Burger King Hamburger Kids Meal contains 380 calories and includes apple slices
and a small drink (I used milk in my calculations).
The report was
commissioned by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine which
promotes a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle.
Any meal you or a restaurant prepares for your child that contains meat
will not meet the ideals of the PCRM.
Brooke Henley a dietitian at Central GA Rehab at Medical Center of
Central Georgia totally disagrees with this reports assessment of Chick-fil-A’s
kid’s meals.
