International No Tobacco Day

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Poor Mexico: so far from God and so close to the United States." Porfirio Diaz


TODAY IN HISTORY:
Big Ben
Ford Model T

  • 1859 The clock tower at the Houses of Parliament, which houses Big Ben, starts keeping time.
  • 1911 President of Mexico Porfirio Diaz flees the country during the Mexican Revolution.
  • 1927 The last Ford Model T rolls off the assembly line after a production run of 15,007,003 units.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Brandi Carlile
What do we know about the cannibal's background? Watch the ABC News report. Can water be pumped into water? Watch the BBC report. Do you and your dog share similar personalities? Watch the CNN report. What is it with Brandi Carlile? Listen to the NPR interview with the singer. Is Madonna on the road again? Watch the Reuters report. Do Mexican soldiers make good narco agents? Read the Time article. Super-sized sodas to be banned in New York City? Watch the ABC News report via Yahoo.

About the article: Super-sized sodas to be banned in New York City?
In the interview between the journalist and the politician, I think that he and the goverment don't do nothing against the sodas companies, they only educate to the people, that is good but isn't enough.

Something about suggar:

Elementary math problems are weird. "I had 10 chocolate bars and ate 9. What do I have now?" Oh, I don't know, DIABETES MAYBE.

Greetings.
