Lou Dobbs resigns from CNN

11/12/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post

CNN anchorman Lou Dobbs announced his decision to leave the cable network to seek new opportunities in furthering his advocacy on important issues of America. The long-time news TV personality started as a financial journalist. He later became an opinionated thinking man who informed and suggested solutions to the pressing issues for his viewers.

For many years he had been doing his advocacy work tackling topics which covered the economy, globalization, Afghanistan-Iraq war, healthcare, climate change, social security, capitalism, immigration, unemployment, education, and lack of public representation in Washington.

Dobbs had been a strident critic of illegal immigration which angered groups like Presente.org and BastaDobbs.com, online Hispanic organizations which campaign for his removal from CNN.

“CNN President Jon Klein in a statement hailed Dobbs' "appetite for big ideas, the megawatt smile and larger than life presence he brought to our newsroom."

"With characteristic forthrightness, Lou has now decided to carry the banner of advocacy journalism elsewhere," Klein said. "We respect his decision." ---AP/Huffington Post (11/11/09)

In his farewell appearance on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, Dobbs promised to be relentless in his pursuit for truth and deal with issues by focusing on solving problems analytically--- rather by be guided by partisanship and ideology. He committed himself to positively contribute to the understanding of the pressing issues of the day. In due time he will inform the public of his next step after his service in CNN.

Cristina Enrile quits Vatican post

4/15/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post

Citing poor health, Cristina Enrile, wife of Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile resigned from her post as Philippine ambassador to the Vatican which she held for barely six months. The easily tired lady had been suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS,) a nebulous medical condition whose diagnosis is as challenging as its treatment.

Prior to Cristina's assumption as envoy, there were some criticisms on the aptness of her selection. Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales (Mount Balatucan Monitor) and Bishop Leonardo Medroso of Tagbilaran (tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com) expressed it could have been better if the Catholic clergy was consulted about her appointment.

According to Juan Ponce, his wife complained of muscle pains, difficulty of breathing, dizziness, and tiredness, prompting Pres. Gloria M. Arroyo to accept her resignation.

Many of CFS sufferers complain of perplexing signs and symptoms that require thorough medical evaluation. A sizeable fraction of CFS sufferers have psychological overlays. It is uncertain if this holds true with the resigned lady envoy.

Replacing Cristina is Ma. Mercedes “Mercy” Reinares Arrastia-Tuason, the wife of a cousin of Pres. Arroyo’s husband. Tuason, a pro-lifer, is said to work with charitable organizations including those that minister to the poor and the sick.

Chronic Fatigue Synrdome (CFS)

"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a hard diagnosis to make because there are no specific tests or laboratory markers to pinpoint the ailment; many illnesses have fatigue as among their prominent symptoms and a good fraction of patients looks well. The manifestations of CFS vary in severity and its course is characterized by periods of remissions and exacerbations."---UP Ibalon Bicol Blog (02/07/09, mesiamd)

A CFS diagnosis should be considered in patients who present with six months or more of unexplained fatigue accompanied by other characteristic symptoms. These symptoms may include:

• cognitive dysfunction, including impaired memory or concentration
• malaise or exhaustion lasting > 24 hours after physical or mental exercise
• unrestful sleep
• joint pain without signs of inflammation
• persistent musculo-skeletal pain
• depression
• mood swings
• headaches
• tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes
• sore throat
• cardiac and respiratory symptoms
