Ambos serán embajadores adscritos
El presidente Leonel Fernández juramentó como embajadores para asuntos culturales adscritos a la Cancillería a los merengueros Juan de Dios Ventura y Milly Quezada.
El mandatario encabezó el acto pasadas las 8 de la noche, en un pequeño salón contiguo al de Embajadores, en el Palacio Nacional.
Al tomar juramento a los cantantes, el presidente Leonel Fernández aseguró que es un honor tenerlos trabajando en su gobierno.
Tanto Milly Quezada como Johnny Ventura agradecieron al jefe del Estado por tomarlos en cuenta para ocupar el nuevo cargo.
Ambos expresaron su emoción por la distinción recibida. El primero en llegar al Palacio fue Johnny Ventura, quien arribó alrededor de las 6:00 de la tarde, mientras que Milly Quezada llegó tres horas después, acompañada de su productor, Pedro Núñez del Risco.
Ambos merengueros apoyaron la candidatura del actual gobernante en las pasadas elecciones presidenciales. Ventura fue síndico del Distrito Nacional por el Partido Revolucionario Dominicano, agrupación en la que militó durante muchos años.
Fue muy allegado al extinto líder de ese partido, José Francisco Peña Gómez. Núñez del Risco se desempeñará como Asesor Artístico del Poder Ejecutivo.

When people turn 50 or when they're younger and have a family history of Colon Cancer, the recommendation is that they have a Colonoscopy. It's typically not high on anyone's list of favorite things that they just can't wait to try. Along with getting an invitation to join AARP, this marks another age related rite of passage in a person's life that doesn't carry the same kind of excited anticipation as let's say, getting a driver's license did when we were younger.
It's the whole idea of a small tube with a camera attached being placed into areas that most of us would rather not even think about, let alone make an appointment for.
It's the Clean Out
When helpful friends are trying their best to reassure you about colonoscopies, they inevitably say something really compelling about how the procedure isn't bad, because the drugs they give you to relax are very pleasant, it's the Clean Out that's the worst part.
I have a friend who needed a colonoscopy for a serious bowel problem, who had so much trouble drinking her Clean Out solution, that I had to go over and drink a few sips to show her it wasn't so bad. I know, I know, I'm an enabler. She's a nurse too, so you'd think she'd chug it down, but that's another story.
Virtual Colonoscopy the Wave of the Future
This is perfect timing. So instead of having a large tube with a miniature camera inserted, people who are having virtual colonoscopies, will have an even smaller tube inserted that release a tiny bit of air into the intestines. Then using a combination of CAT scans or MRI while the person lies on their back and then on their tummy, a 3-D image is generated to look for polyps, diverticulosis and colon cancer.
Drawbacks
You still have to do the Clean Out. Sorry, haven't figured that one out yet. And if there is something seen, like a polyp, then a regular (conventional) colonoscopy must be used to remove it.
What to do
I'm going to find a GI (Gastroenterologist) who does this in my area and I'll let you know how it goes. Anyone want to come over and drink some of the Clean Out mix with me?

Guest/topic ideas Among those we talked with this past week were: Brian Kelly, Mick Cronin, Dave Lapham, David Fulcher, Jim Breech, Mark Curnutte, Jeff Piecoro, Michael Perry(Xavier book), and Marc Lancaster (Rays writer) This coming week we will talk with: Sean Miller, Charlie Coles and Tom Browning..... Got a a topic or guest idea? Email me. I hope to add college hoops to the conversation this week. The UC football conversation hasn't taken off like I'd hoped. I get no traction from MLB playoff talk. The reality is there are more Bengals fans than fans of anything else going on right now. But I struggle to keep Bengals talk interesting and not just a rip fest. I'll keep trying to keep things fresh, give you variety and get you involved.

An account has been opened for Mike in Fairfield Thanks to 5th/3rd Bank and Randy Wolf of Homer Sales...we've opened an account for Mike in Fairfield. If you are interested in helping out with a couple of bucks you can make a donation in his name at ANY 5th/3rd Bank. I realize times are tough for everyone, but if you are depositing a paycheck today, keep Mike in mind. Here is the info you can give at ANY 5th/3rd Name: Mike Brockman
Update on Mike from Fairfield I stopped by to see Mike Thursday night. I got him some groceries and made sure he's going to be able to stay at the Motel for another week while he figures out what to do next. He gave me a hug and had tears in his eyes. He was blown away by the support you guys have shown. Since 3pm Thursday there has been a steady stream of listeners stop by the Motel to offer help. When I arrived I saw Randall from Colerain. Hammy had stopped by earlier. Mike said it was the best day he's had in the last 3-4 weeks when all this began. Friday I hope to have news on a 5th/3rd account for him if you would like to make a donation to help him get on his feet. You guys are the best! Thanks for answering the rally call. I can't thank Mark Schlemmer of 980 WONE in Dayton enough for the heads up on Mike's situation. He helped me get the ball rolling on help for Mike.

Well, who knew I'd be so popular!
Within 24 hours of posting my Yahoo! Personals ad, I receive several
responses. And, being a bit of a cheapo this early in the game, I'm
not paying for a subscription yet. But there is one guy who sends me
an email with his instant messenger name and email, so I add him to
my online friends so we can chat.
We chat for several days. He's 35yo,
5'11'', a chiropractor (practicing about 5 or 6 years), and lives in
on the Eastern Shore of Florida. Obviously, I'm not going to
disclose where people live or their real names. The Chiropractor
portrays himself as an old fashioned gentlemen. He sends me pictures
of himself and I find him a good looking man. As we continue to
chat, he intrigues me enough that after about a three days I give him
my phone number to call me. The Chiropractor has the cutest southern
accent, and is very sweet over the phone. He loves all sorts of
ethnic foods, speaks a little bit of Spanish, enjoys comedy, and
willing to go a karaoke bar (and if drunk enough, he might even
sing!). I notice that he seems a bit nervous, but then again trying
to impress someone over the phone can be nerve-raking. But as the
conversations continue, I'm intrigue enough to want to meet The
Chiropractor.
As we approach our meeting date, dinner
at an Ocala Japanese Restaurant, I grow excited, and I don't shy away
from telling him so! The nights just before our first date, we have
the most incredible phone sex! I couldn't wait to meet this handsome
and exciting man! The night before our meeting he tells me that he's
very nervous because he doesn't “look like Brad Pitt.” Okay
folks, let's just say this, there is only one Brad Pitt, and no one
else will be that incredibly attractive but Brad Pitt. So, this
comment always makes me a bit annoyed, and I'm more than happy to
tell The Chiropractor I was annoyed. I tell him I'm not movie star
either, but my pictures are very recent and very representative of my
appearance. That then leads me to ask him, are you're pictures
representative of what you look like now, and he says yes, and tells
me he's added me as his myspace friend. (Relax, he's not my myspace
friend anymore so no you can't go find him on my page.)
Time for an aside on personals picture.
If you are online dating, post a great picture of yourself. I'm all
for choosing a picture that makes you look great. But, DO NOT post a
picture that is five years old, no matter how GREAT you think you
look!!!! Even if you look great, you now look different. This will
be important later.
