I have been using a voice recognition program called iListen for several weeks. Overall, I am satisfied but it can be extremely frustrating at times. First, the good part: it allows me to effectuate one of the main rules espoused by my legal writing instructor during the first year of law school. That rule is as follows: start writing. Just get something on paper. Take, for instance, the letter that I wrote to the commissioners of the FCC.
The voice recognition software solves that problem. So, where it had taken two months and I had not written anything, with the help of the voice recognition software I now had a complete letter - personalized for each Commissioner - written in the time span of approximately half an hour. Now for the most frustrating part (other than the constant incorrect words): the vocabulary of this software program is simply not large enough. And then there are the smaller annoyances (edit: I just had to add the word "annoyances" to the dictionary! Sleeping Tricks - Effective Techniques For Falling Asleep. How to nap. How to nap.

The majority of British people dread the alarm clock and hit the snooze button every morning, a study has discovered, making Brits the most grumpy morning people in Europe. Compared to our European counterparts, who wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day, Brits are short-tempered, miserable and still half asleep when they eventually pull themselves from under the duvet.
According to the study by Philips Wake-up Light, only a third of Brits consider themselves an 'early-bird' who rises out of bed as soon as the alarm clock goes off, and 40 per cent admit they struggle to find the energy to get out of bed after countless snooze alarm attempts. The survey involved 11, 000 Europeans and found that British people spend an astonishing four months over the course of a lifetime hitting the snooze button on their alarm clocks. Brits are the top of the grumpy league, with fellow grouchy nation's Sweden, Finland, Norway, Austria and Holland closely behind. Loading Slideshow. Sleepy Brits Are The Grumpiest ‘Morning People' In Europe. Perry Unveils New Economic Plan. In political developments, media outlets analyzed GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry's new plan, which includes a national flat tax, would cut discretionary funding by at least $100 billion a year, and would overhaul Medicare and Medicaid.
In other news, a new poll uncovers deep distrust of the government, with about a quarter of the public in favor of repealing the entire health law. The New York Times: New Poll Finds A Deep Distrust Of Government With Election Day just over a year away, a deep sense of economic anxiety and doubt about the future hangs over the nation, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, with Americans' distrust of government at its highest level ever. … Only about a quarter of the public said that lowering taxes on large corporations or repealing the entire national health care law was a good idea.

Obama makes unscheduled stop at Roscoe's Chicken. After arriving in Los Angeles about 4:30 p.m. Monday, helicoptering to Brentwood and then driving the empty freeway for a time, President Obama's motorcade exited into what looked to be a predominantlyLatino neighborhood of West Los Angeles for an unscheduled visit to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.
Booths full of early-dinner diners craned their necks to see Obama, who was at the counter ordering for himself and nearby aides, including Valerie Jarrett, Jay Carney, David Plouffe and Marvin Nicholson. With him was Rep. Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles), who represents the area in the House. Among other items, Obama reportedly ordered the No. 9, “Country Boy” -- three wings with choice of waffle, potato salad or French fries -- which cost $8.90, according to the menu. The president, sans suit coat and with his shirt sleeves rolled up, then walked to one side of the restaurant and greeted the diners in each vinyl-covered booth. It was a diverse crowd. -- Pool reports with the president. Ben Greenfield: Can You 'Spot Reduce' Body Fat? Wouldn't it be fabulous if there was a way to take one area of your body, like your butt, your abs, the back of your arms, or your thighs, and make all the fat in that area disappear by doing one particular, magical exercise?
Unfortunately, there isn't. (And if there was, then you could do just a few hundred crunches a day and have magazine cover model washboard abs.) But with a few tweaks to your exercise regimen, you actually can "spot reduce" (that's reduce, not eliminate). Before you learn how to spot reduce, you should know how fat burning actually works. Imagine you have a big barrel of oil in the trunk of your car. Think of all that fat around your waistline like the oil in that car's trunk. Now, here's the frustrating part: When your body needs energy, it doesn't take it from a single body part. So to target fat loss in one body part, you need to include a few extra steps in your workout regimen:

Rudolph's Red Nose: Reindeer Science Revealed. By Marc Lallanilla, Life's Little Mysteries Assistant Editor: Most people know Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose — but why? Medical researchers say they've now found the answer. The secret to Rudolph's rosy schnozzle is the dense network of blood vessels in his nose. Reindeer, it seems, have 25 percent more capillaries carrying red, oxygen-rich blood in their nasal architecture than humans, say the scientists from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and the University of Rochester in New York. "In colder climates and also when they are higher up in the atmosphere pulling Santa's sleigh, the increase in blood flow in the nose will help keep the [nose's] surface warm," Dr.
The researchers took advantage of high-tech instruments like hand-held intravital video microscopes to compare the blood vessels of two reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) with those of human volunteers (five healthy humans and one with nasal polyps).
