She loved the thrill of the chase and found that, with the Internet, she could locate just about anybody, living or dead. She helped a woman, adopted at age 4, connect with her birth mother and siblings. She reunited two sisters after 16 years apart, and friends who'd lost touch decades before.

Guest column : John Edwards 'fesses up; so what? - Green Bay Press-Gazette

Posted: 23 Jan 2010 10:43 AM PST

(2 of 2)

In truth, there are a lot Democrats — yes, Democrats — in Washington and Raleigh who were glad to see Edwards fail. They viewed Edwards as arrogant, egotistical and callow. Even some former campaign aides were considering ways to sabotage his campaign and were relieved when he lost, according to anonymously sourced accounts in the insider campaign book "Game Change."

Edwards now is known only for his messy personal life.

Last week, the National Enquirer quoted a beach bartender by name saying that Edwards had hit on her. Usually I don't pay a lot of attention to supermarket tabloids, but the Enquirer — using paid, anonymous sources — has been way out in front of this story.

Earlier this month, "Game Change" portrayed the Edwards marriage as a deeply troubled one with hair-raising scenes that could have been right out of the Edward Albee play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

Edwards is not the first politician to be undone or damaged by a sex scandal. But Edwards was particularly hurt by the scandal because much of his appeal was based on an image as a clean-cut family man from humble textile-town roots who stood by his wife as she battled cancer. Unlike Clinton in Little Rock, Edwards never had a reputation as a skirt-chaser.

Nearly everyone who cheats on a spouse lies. It comes with the territory. Edwards' lies were more than a spouse covering his tracks. They had far broader consequences.

Edwards began his second run for the presidency in December 2006 with a secret that could sink his candidacy; an affair with Hunter. According to Elizabeth Edwards' account, he told her of the affair soon after announcing his candidacy and she reluctantly agreed to allow his campaign to go forward.

Edwards had the perfect excuse to gracefully withdraw from the campaign in March 2007 when the couple revealed that Elizabeth Edwards' breast cancer had spread. Instead, Edwards continued the campaign and the affair with Hunter.

If Edwards had captured the Democratic nomination for president, the Hunter affair could have been revealed in the general election and cost the Democrats the election. If he had won the presidency, and the affair had been disclosed after the election, we could now be facing an impeachment fight. The whole nation would have been sucked into the mess.

In August 2008, Edwards went on national television to acknowledge his affair with Hunter. He denied that he was the father of the child.

Why admit the affair, but deny paternity, when hardly anyone believed the denial anyway?

According to an account in "Game Change," Edwards didn't want to confess to paternity because he didn't want to jeopardize his chance of being attorney general in an Obama administration or give up a chance to give a speech at the Democratic convention in Denver.

Those chances had long since passed. Edwards had become politically radioactive. He just hadn't grasped it.

Now he has told so many lies, hardly anybody cares when he tells the truth.

How Safe Is Your Home? Eco-me Educates And Empowers Consumers With ... - PRLog (free press release)

Posted: 23 Jan 2010 12:52 PM PST

PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 23, 2010 – HOW SAFE IS YOUR HOME? ECO-ME EDUCATES AND EMPOWERS CONSUMERS WITH HEALTHY HOME CARE.

PASADENA, CA (January 2010) – In 2006, Robin Levine determined she would find a way to help consumers escape the chemicals found in household products. She had inspiration on her side (her sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer, non-genetic caused by environmental factors), and a business background to make it work. The idea began with ingredients found in her kitchen that became healthy solutions for cleaning, body care and pet care. Eco-Me home, body, baby and pet care "do-it-yourself" kits make it possible for anyone to mix the appropriate amount of baking soda, oil, water and vinegar to create various 100 percent natural products. Blended with Eco-Me's proprietary plant essential oil blends, these natural products work better than their competition and save customers money. The results were beyond Robin's expectations and it seemed only natural she would find a way to be the first to hit the market with a pre-mixed product.

As a result of the runaway success of Eco-Me DIY Kits, and in response to consumer and retailer demand, the company has taken the same recipes, using simple household ingredients, and pre-mixed them for retail ready to use products. The new collection is a family of natural cleaning products. Made fresh by our Eco-Me Family for You and Your Family:
• All Purpose Cleaner, Bill by Eco-Me is strong on dirt, and gentle on surfaces, appropriate for counter tops, tile, vinyl, stone, glass, mirrors
• Wood Polish, Kate by Eco-Me cleans and polishes sealed wood surfaces, appropriate for floors, furniture and cabinetry
• Scrub Cleanser, Emily by Eco-Me is a natural scrub with no hard abrasives, appropriate for counters, sinks, tubs, stove tops, ovens, tile, grout, pots, pans
• All Floor Cleaner, Dave by Eco-Me is safe and effective for all sealed floors from wood to tile to stone. Reduces dirt, bacteria and germs safely.
• Carpet Deodorizer, Matt by Eco-Me naturally cleans and freshens carpets and rugs. Sprinkle, set and vacuum.
• Dish Soap, Suzy by Eco-Me safe for humans and the earth, no chemicals or dyes, safe for waterways and septic systems. No SLS.
• Toilet Bowl Cleaner removes stains, bacteria and odors naturally. Safe for septic and compost systems.
• Laundry Soap (gentle) safe aloe/olive oil based soap for hand and machine washing. Gentle for babies and allergy sufferers.

"I started Eco-Me as a grassroots movement to educate everyone around me because I felt lied to about the safety of the products we use every day. It was personal," says Robin. "As my small business grew, and more people heard the truth about what really goes into standard products, it became clear I needed to commit to making my initial idea appealing to a broader range of consumers. I knew mixing the products yourself wasn't for everyone, so I was determined to create a pre-mixed product out of the same ingredients."

Eco-Me believes in honest labeling and healthy ingredients and their new products contain only the basics such as baking soda, vinegar, oil, water and pure plant oils. These premixed products are a healthy, environmentally safe alternative to standard products with labels you can barely understand and ingredients that are far from natural.

The Eco-Me revolution continues at this year's Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA March 2010.

DEVELOPING STORY: "Day for Pampering" aims to educate Latinas - WKOW-TV.com

Posted: 23 Jan 2010 09:39 AM PST

MADISON (WKOW) -- Planned Parenthood celebrates the grand opening of its new health center on Park Street Saturday. Part of the celebration includes Dia para Consentirse, or "Day to Pamper Yourself," an event specifically designed for the local Latino community.

Planned Parenthood's education center wants to focus on spreading awareness in the Latino community about the disparities in reproductive disorders among Latinas.

Nationally, invasive cervical cancer incidence rates among Latinas are more than twice those of non-Latina white women, and mortality rates for cervical cancer are over 40 percent higher among Latinas.

The free Spanish-speaking event will feature yoga, massages, manicures and educational programming about breast and cervical cancer screenings.

The event will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 2222 S Park St.

27 News' Jamie Hersch will be at the event. Be sure to watch 27 News at 6 for more on the grand opening celebrations.
