January is National Glaucoma
Awareness Month, an important time to spread
the word about this sight-stealing disease.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable
blindness. Everyone, from infants to seniors
is vulnerable. Moreover, among
African-American and Hispanic populations,
glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness. Over 3 million Americans, and
nearly 70 million people worldwide, have
glaucoma. Experts estimate that half of them
don't know they have it. Combined with our
aging population, we can see an epidemic of
blindness looming if we don't raise
awareness about the importance of regular
eye examinations to preserve vision.
The most
common type of glaucoma-primary open angle
glaucoma-is hereditary; so if you do have
glaucoma, don't keep it a secret. Let your
family members know they are at increased
risk. |

Understanding Bank Mess Through

This is a posting that might offer a

from a highly recommended economist along with some
canine common sense to tame those ferocious hounds the
banks unleashed on us. Either way, brace yourself for a
big bite – maybe $2 trillion....... |

“Doo wop” does represent the earliest

Little Anthony and The Imperials started there, making the transition to R&B
truly defines us. I don’t want to beat it into the ground but I try to

I moved into

it was priced far below the market value. Well, guess what. Today, I'm losing
money on it, but, as my Mama would say, "Life is a state of change", and "This

As you
probably know, I have many clients, poker students with whom
I work. I recently was asked a lot of questions in an e-mail
from one of my clients that had such broad application that
I thought I would share them with you. The correspondence
has been lightly edited for clarity, and my answers have
