 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — So patient for 20 years, Kansas had no problem working an extra five minutes to bring a long-awaited championship back to the heartland. Mario Chalmers hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation to push the game into overtime, and the Jayhawks grinded it out from there for a 75-68 victory Monday night over Memphis in one of the best title games in recent memory. Chalmers’ shot pulled Kansas into a tie after being down nine with 2:12 left. Memphis left the door open by missing four free throws down the stretch. And in a game where every point counted, Derrick Rose’s two-point shot off glass that was initially ruled a 3 — and correctly overturned — also made a difference. Chalmers’ 3-pointer was never in doubt. “We got the ball in our most clutch player’s hands, and he delivered,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. It gave Kansas its first title since 1988, when Danny Manning, now an assistant coach for the Jayhawks, led them to an upset of Oklahoma. And the shot earned Chalmers the most outstanding player honor. “I had a good look at it,” Chalmers said. “When it left my hands it felt like it was good, and it just went in.” The most memorable performance in this one, though, came from Rose, the Memphis freshman, who completely took over the game in the second half, scoring 14 of his team’s 16 points during one stretch to lift the Tigers to a 60-51 lead with 2:12 left. But Kansas (37-3) used the strategy any smart opponent of Memphis’ would — fouling the heck out of one of the country’s worst free-throw-shooting teams — and when Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts made only one of five over the last 1:12, it left the door open for KU. It also proved all the Memphis critics right — that free-throw shooting really can cost you games, or a championship in this case. That was a theory coach John Calipari scoffed at during his team’s run through the tournament, almost all his wins runaways. Hustling the ball down the court with 10.8 seconds left and no timeouts, Sherron Collins handed off to Chalmers at the top of the 3-point line, and Chalmers took the shot. It hit nothing but net and tied the score at 63. “Ten seconds to go, we’re thinking we’re national champs, all of a sudden a kid makes a shot and we’re not,” Calipari said. Robert Dozier missed a desperation shot at the buzzer, and Rose went limping to the bench, favoring his right leg. Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson scored the first six points of overtime to put Kansas ahead 69-63. Memphis, clearly exhausted, didn’t pull any closer than three the rest of the way. “Overtime, they kind of beat us down,” Calipari said. “I didn’t sub a whole lot, because I was trying to win the game at the end.” Arthur was dominant inside, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds, lots on dunks and easy lay-ups off lob passes. Chalmers finished with 18 points. Rush had 12 and Collins had 11 points, six assists and did a wonderful job shutting Rose for the first 28 minutes. Jayhawks force OT, then claims NCAA national title Rose wound up with 18 points in a game that showed how ready he is for the NBA. He was 3-for-4 from the line, however, and that one miss with 10.8 seconds left is what almost certainly would have sealed the game and given the Tigers (38-2) their first title. Instead, the title goes back to Lawrence for the third time in the fabled program’s history. “If we played 10 times, it’d probably go five and five,” Self said. “We got fortunate late.” The inventor of the game, James Naismith, was the first Jayhawks coach. It’s the school that made household names of Wilt Chamberlain, Manning — and yes, even North Carolina’s Roy Williams, the coach who famously left the Jayhawks, lost to them in the semifinals, but was, indeed, in the Kansas cheering section to watch Self bring the title back that he never could. This game was not about coaches or sidestories, though. It was about the game, and what a dandy it was — a well-needed reprieve from a more-or-less blah tournament in which 42 of 63 games were decided by double digits. This was the first overtime in the title game since 1997, when Arizona beat Kentucky 84-79. Kansas, mostly Collins, put the clamps on Rose for the first half, allowing the freshman only four shots and leaving him spiking the ball on the floor as he walked to the locker room after a frustrating 20 minutes. It stayed that way for the first five of the second half, but Kansas couldn’t pull away. Douglas-Roberts made sure of it, winning enough of the 1-on-1 matchups that the Memphis offense creates to keep the Tigers in range. Then, finally Rose took over — a 3-pointer here, a scooping layup for a three-point play next. Then, the capper, an off-balance, 18-foot shot off glass with the shot-clock buzzer sounding. Officials at first credited Rose with a 3, but went to the replay monitor and saw he was clearly inside the line. “I don’t like this being able to go to the monitor,” Calipari said. “I’m going to try to get that changed.” Even with the point deducted, Memphis has a 56-49 lead and all the momentum. Most teams would have been demoralized. Clearly, Kansas is not most teams. In fact, the Jayhawks are a team that has come together in tragedy over the last several months. The deaths of friends and family of Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Rodrick Stewart all cast a bit of a pall over this team, making Jackson wonder at times if staying at Kansas was even worth it. But it was an injury, not a tragedy, that might have been most responsible for blending this championship formula. Rush tore up his knee during a practice game last May, and his NBA plans were put on hiatus. He worked his way back into shape this season and is playing his best right now. He didn’t have the most impressive stat line of the night, but it hasn’t all been about stats for him in this, his junior season. His defense was stellar, as usual, and surely his experience and resolve played into Kansas’ refusal to go away.

A Turkish man smokes at a teahouse in Istanbul, in January 2008. Three independent studies released Wednesday have identified a tiny variation in the human genome that make some people more vulnerable to lung cancer than others.(AFP/File/Mustafa Ozer) WASHINGTON - Scientists have pinpointed genetic variations that make people more likely to get hooked on cigarettes and more prone to develop lung cancer — a finding that could someday lead to screening tests and customized treatments for smokers trying to kick the habit. The discovery by three separate teams of scientists makes the strongest case so far for the biological underpinnings of nicotine addiction and sheds more light on how genetics and lifestyle habits join forces to cause cancer. "This is kind of a double whammy gene," said Christopher Amos, a professor of epidemiology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and author of one of the studies. "It also makes you more likely to be dependent on smoking and less likely to quit smoking." A smoker who inherits these genetic variations from both parents has an 80 percent greater chance of lung cancer than a smoker without the variants, the researchers reported. And that same smoker on average lights up two extra cigarettes a day and has a much harder time quitting than smokers who don't have these genetic differences. The researchers disagreed on whether the variants directly increased the risk of lung cancer or did so indirectly, by causing more smoking. The three studies, funded by governments in the U.S. and Europe, is being published Thursday in the journals Nature and Nature Genetics. The scientists studied the genes of more than 35,000 people in Europe, Canada and the United States. They aren't quite sure if what they found is a set of variations in one gene or in three closely connected genes. The gene variations, which govern nicotine receptors on cells, could eventually help explain some of the mysteries of chain smoking, nicotine addiction and lung cancer. These oddities include why there are 90-year-old smokers who don't get cancer and people who light up an occasional cigarette and don't get hooked. "This is really telling us that the vulnerability to smoking and how much you smoke is clearly biologically based," said psychiatry professor Dr. Laura Bierut of Washington University in St. Louis, a genetics and smoking expert who did not take part in the studies. She praised the research as "very intriguing." The smoking rate among U.S. adults has dropped from 42 percent in 1965 to less than 21 percent now. The new studies are surprising in that they point to areas of the genetic code that are not associated with pleasure and the rewards of addiction. That may help explain why some people can quit and others fail, said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse in Bethesda, Md., which funded one of the studies. "It opens our eyes," Volkow said Wednesday. "Not everyone takes drugs for the same reason. Not everyone smokes cigarettes for the same reasons." One clue is in the location of the just-discovered variants, on the long arm of chromosome 15, Volkow said. It is in an area that, when damaged during tests on animals, makes them depressed and anxious. While some people smoke because it helps them focus or gives them a physiological reward, others do it to stave off depression. That suggests that adding antidepressants to some smokers' treatment could help them kick the habit. Bierut said a simple, inexpensive test could be developed to screen people for the variants. Kari Stefansson, lead author of the largest of the three studies, agreed. He is chief executive of deCode Genetics of Iceland, which already does prostate cancer genetic tests. Such testing could carry risks all its own, bioethicist Arthur Caplan of the University of Pennsylvania warned. People who have been found to have a genetic predisposition to addiction and lung cancer could find it harder to get health or life insurance, or their employer might drop their coverage, he said. "The good news is that getting these risk estimates will help focus anti-smoking campaigns, and some people will want to voluntarily get into anti-addiction programs early, where they will probably work better," Caplan said in an e-mail. But if such testing is done, it should be voluntary, and the results should be kept private, he said. The research involved only white people of European descent. Blacks and Asians will be studied soon and may yield quite different results, scientists said. Smoking-related diseases worldwide kill about one in 10 adults, according to the World Health Organization. Among the findings: • Smokers who get the set of variants from only one parent see a risk of lung cancer that is about one-third higher than that of people without the variants. They also smoke about one more cigarette a day on average than other smokers. This group makes up about 45 percent of the population studied. • Smokers who inherit the variants from both parents have nearly a 1-in-4 chance of developing lung cancer. Their cancer risk is 70 to 80 percent higher than that of smokers without the genetic variants. They smoke on average two extra cigarettes a day. This group accounts for about one in nine people of European descent. • Smokers who don't have the variants are still more than 10 times more likely to get lung cancer than nonsmokers. Smokers without the variant have about a 14 percent risk of getting lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer for people who have never smoked is less than 1 percent, said another study author, Paul Brennan of the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France. Brennan and Amos, working on different teams, linked the genetic variation itself — when triggered by smoking — directly to lung cancer. Brennan said the nicotine receptors that the variants act on also can stimulate tumor growth. But Stefansson said the increased lung cancer risk was indirect — the variants led to more smoking, which led to more cancer. For Stefansson, the research hits home. His father, a smoker, died of lung cancer. And Stefansson, who doesn't smoke, frequently lectures his 23-year-old daughter "who smokes like a chimney." She acts as if she is immortal and smoking can't kill her, Stefansson said. But his own research shows that her genes are probably stacked against her. ___ On the Net: Nature: http://www.nature.com/nature VERY IMPORTANT - REGARDING PANCAKE MIX: > > I recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy 14-year-old son, using a mix that was in our pantry.

Thus, after taking off conventionally, the B-2 can switch to antigravity mode, and, I have heard, fly around the world without refueling. Thus, the B-2 Spirit advanced bomber has hybrid propulsion and lift technologies, utilizing jet thrust for public take-offs and landings, to look conventional, but switching to antigravity mode for extended cruising range, for lightning-fast maneuverability, and for shrouding the airframe in invisibility (by having its local anti-gravity field bend space-time, and thus light, around the airframe). This "disappearance" from conventional 3-D space-time provides the B-2 with virtually undetectable infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures." The unstable lift and forward-motion characteristics of the B-2's boomerang-like airframe are merely temporary, until it moves into antigravity mode, where independent field propulsion provides stability. Further commentary, revealing that the government eventually plans to release antigravity technology publicly, is provided by Colonel Ware. He says, "Apparently this highly-controlled military program was used to gain experience with 4th-density technology that may transform civil aviation, after all national leaders choose peace." The Colonel thus is suggesting that the Black Projects units behind this antigravity craft are going to share their technology with everyone, once North Korea's Kim Jong-il and Iranian President Ahmadinejad settle down. But the Cabal organization hoarding antigravity technology actually will share antigravity technology only when pigs fly. And the pigs will have to do so without the highly-classified electrogravitic technological asssistance.

 AS HEARD ON PAUL HARVEY NEWS 9-6-06 & 9-12-06 Many countries have banned polycarbonate dishes and cutlery Polystyrene, labeled as #6, is often found in foam containers and cups and sometimes in clear disposable takeout containers, plastic cutlery, and cups. Polystyrene may leach styrene, a possible human carcinogen, into food it comes in contact with. Studies involving mice show that when it’s ingested over several weeks, this chemical can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and brain. • Avoid consuming hot liquids, fatty foods, or alcoholic drinks from Styrofoam containers, since heat and alcohol may increase leaching of the chemical. Transfer foods from takeout containers made of Styrofoam to glass or ceramic. Many plastic-wrapped foods in grocery stores, such as meats and cheeses, are wrapped in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), often labeled as #3 plastic. To make PVC plastic flexible, manufacturers add chemicals called plasticizers. These chemicals, known as adipates and phthalates, can leach out of the PVC into food, especially hot, fatty foods. In mice, these chemicals have been shown to cause birth defects, fetal death, and damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive systems. Selecting the Right Water Bottle All soft plastics have the potential to leach chemicals into food and beverages, including disposable and reusable bottles. Here are a few practical tips: • Avoid reusing single-use plastic bottles. Frequent washing of disposable plastic bottles may accelerate its breakdown and cause chemicals called adipates to leach. • Toss the bottle of water that’s been sitting in your car. Solar heat can do as much damage as the microwave. • Some plastic bottles are made from BPA, so use stainless steel water bottles (visit kleankanteen.com).

CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO READ MORE....... Nov. 14, 2006 — Pennsylvania officials today published a hospital-by-hospital breakdown of infection rates, so patients in the state will have an idea of where to get the cleanest medical care. But those handy guidelines aren't available in every state, so what can you do to protect yourself against hospital infections? These tips come from the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, a non-profit organization devoted solely to providing safer, cleaner, hospital care founded by former New York lieutenant governor Betsy McCaughey. 1. Ask that hospital staff clean their hands before treating you, and ask visitors to clean their hands too. This is the single most important way to protect yourself in the hospital. If you're worried about being too aggressive, just remember your life could be at stake. All caregivers should clean their hands before treating you. Studies suggest that alcohol-based hand cleaners are more effective at removing most bacteria than soap and water. Do not hesitate to say the following to your doctor or caregiver: "Excuse me, but there's an alcohol dispenser right there. Would you mind using that before you touch me, so I can see it?" Don't be falsely assured by gloves. If caregivers have pulled on gloves without cleaning their hands first, the gloves are already contaminated before they touch you. 2. Before your doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your chest, ask that it be wiped with alcohol. Numerous studies show that stethoscopes are often contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and other dangerous bacteria, because caregivers seldom take the time to clean them in between patient use. The American Medical Association recommends that stethoscopes routinely be cleaned for each patient. The same precautions should be taken for many other commonly used pieces of equipment, too. 3. If you need a "central line" catheter, ask your doctor about the benefits of one that is antibiotic-impregnated or silver-chlorhexidine coated to reduce infections. 4. If you need surgery, choose a surgeon with a low infection rate. Surgeons know their rate of infection for various procedures. Ask for it. If they won't tell you, consider choosing another surgeon. 5. Beginning three to five days before surgery, shower daily with 4 percent chlorhexidine soap. Drug stores that don't stock chlorhexidine soap are generally happy to order it for you. You don't need a prescription. Studies suggest that using this soap will help remove any dangerous bacteria you may be carrying on your own skin that could enter your surgical incision and cause an infection. Keep the soap away from your eyes and ears. 6. Ask your surgeon to have you tested for Staphylococcus aureus at least one week before you come into the hospital. The test is simple, usually just a nasal swab. About one third of people carry Staphylococcus aureus on their skin, and if you are one of them, extra precautions can be taken to protect you from infection, to give you the correct antibiotic during surgery, and to prevent you from transmitting bacteria to others. 7. If you do smoke, stop smoking well in advance of your surgery. Patients who smoke are three times as likely to develop a surgical site infection as nonsmokers, and have significantly slower recoveries and longer hospital stays. 8. On the day of your operation, remind your doctor that you may need an antibiotic one hour before the first incision. For many types of surgery, a pre-surgical antibiotic is the standard of care, but it is often overlooked by busy hospital staff. 9. Ask your doctor about keeping you warm during surgery. Operating rooms are often kept cold for the comfort of the staff, but research shows that for many types of surgery, patients who are kept warm resist infection better. There are many ways to keep patients warm, including special blankets, hats and booties, and warmed IV liquids. 10. Do not shave the surgical site. Razors can create small nicks in the skin, through which bacteria can enter. If hair must be removed before surgery, ask that clippers be used instead of a razor. 11. Ask that your surgeon limit the number of people (including medical students) in the operating room. Every increase in the number of people adds to your risk of infection. 12. Ask your doctor about monitoring your glucose (sugar) levels continuously during and after surgery, especially if you are having cardiac surgery. The stress of surgery often makes glucose levels spike erratically. New research shows that when blood glucose levels are tightly controlled to stay between 80-110 mg/unit, heart patients resist infection better. Continue monitoring even when you are discharged from the hospital, because you are not fully healed yet. 13. Avoid a urinary tract catheter if possible. It is a common cause of infection. The tube allows urine to flow from your bladder out of your body. Sometimes catheters are used when busy hospital staff don't have time to walk patients to the bathroom. Ask for a diaper or bed pan instead. They're safer. 14. If you must have an IV, make sure that it is inserted and removed under clean conditions and changed every three to four days. Intravenous catheters, or IVs, are a common source of infection and are not always necessary. If you need one, insist that it be inserted and removed under clean conditions, which means that your skin is cleaned at the site of insertion, and the person treating you is wearing clean gloves. Alert hospital staff immediately if any redness appears.

Expert tips on surviving the top five most common NEWLYWED ROADBLOCKS JOEL OSTEEN - BARBARA WALTERS ABC VIDEO INTERVIEW 4:11 JOEL OSTEEN, PASTOR OF THE LARGEST CHURCH IN AMERICA IN HOUSTON, TEXAS He who lives without quarreling is a bachelor." —St. Jerome You should see a videotape of your last fight. No, not the one you had with that loudmouth at the Giants game. I'm talking about the argument with your wife. Do you have any idea what you looked like? I do. I recently spent 3 days with some marriage experts, watching couples fight. The arguments were all on tape, so I didn't have to duck any glassware being hurled across the kitchen, but the participants were real couples having real fights. And one thing became very clear: Fighting is a waste of time. Nobody wins. Everyone looks pathetic. Every marriage has its disagreements, and we all argue about the same handful of issues (mostly money and kids, followed by housework, sex, in-laws, jobs, and time). That doesn't matter. What matters is how you argue. And if the pattern is destructive, it will surely kill a marriage. Bad feelings will crowd out good feelings, until each partner feels like this: An opportunity to be with you is a chance to be hassled instead of loved and supported. That's the tipping point, when things turn sour. Ninety-three percent of couples who fight dirty will be divorced in 10 years. This statistic comes from therapists who have investigated the causes of marital distress and failure. They videotape couples fighting; then they call these couples years later to see what happened. And what happened is shockingly predictable. Two marital therapists who've conducted this sort of research at the University of Denver are Howard Markman and Scott Stanley. They now teach couples—both newlyweds and folks who've been married for years—how to fight better, how to clear the air without clearing the room. And they've been remarkably successful. Five years after participating in one of Markman and Stanley's courses, couples are twice as likely to still be together compared with couples who didn't take the course. But you don't have to attend one of Markman and Stanley's workshops—or even read their book, Fighting for Your Marriage—to improve your relationship. Just start practicing these five strategies for keeping your arguments under control. 1. Stay Off the Escalator The first sign of destructive fighting is what Markman and Stanley call escalation. The idea is simple: Even though you and your wife may start out arguing about something small, inevitably tempers flare, voices get louder, and that "little thing" disappears in an exchange of big threats. To avoid such encounters, Markman and Stanley suggest a technique called "active listening," in which partners take turns talking and paraphrasing what the other is telling them ("What I hear you saying is . . ."). Yes, you'll feel dorky and self-conscious when you do this, but in a way that's the point. Active listening slows you down, makes you listen to what the other person is really saying, and stops you from blasting away with both barrels. Okay, so what if you're willing to stay on fighting's first floor, but your wife is the one constantly hopping on the escalator? Don't tell her to calm down. That just makes you come off as patronizing, which fuels her anger. Instead, you make the effort to calm down. Keep your expression serious and say something like, "How about if I just listen to you for a few minutes, and you can tell me what you're thinking." 2. Be Her Mirror Another sign that you're fighting ugly is invalidation. This occurs when you move beyond arguing about issues and start committing character assassination and name-calling. You know, the really fun stuff. Lay off these tricks yourself. And if your wife slings one of those personal assaults your way, call her bluff. She's saying horrible things, but she doesn't really mean any of it. (If she did, she'd be gone by now.) Stanley suggests a very successful tactic that works in just about any contentious situation. "When someone's on the attack, paraphrase them. Gently reflect what she's saying so she can hear it." You could say, "Let me get this right. You think I've never really cared about you at all?" Just be sure to sound sincere, not sarcastic. If you can do this, it's like holding up a mirror, which is gentler, and far more effective than saying, "Look in the mirror, bitch." 3. Don't Dis Her Memory Often, in the heat of an argument, the first thing that each partner will try to invalidate is the other's memory. If it turns into a who-remembers-it-better shouting match and she says, "Oh, no, you said blah-blah," don't respond in kind. You'll only imply that her memory is more defective than yours (which it may be, but . . . ). Instead, say this: "I'm not sure what I said. What I meant was. . . ." The point: It doesn't really matter who remembers it better. "Bring it into the present," says Markman. "And stop arguing about what was said or not said." 4. Don't Let Her Read Your Mind If she claims you were secretly hoping her mother wouldn't stay all weekend, you could say, flat out, "Don't read my mind." But that's risky. "You're labeling her behavior, and that could be dynamite," says Stanley. Instead, try this: "That's not what I was thinking. Can I please just tell you what I was thinking?" You? Thinking? The shock might be so great that your wife will drop her fighting gloves immediately. 5. Don't Put a Sock in It Markman and Stanley's third fighting danger sign, withdrawal, involves a clear and documented difference between the genders. Women value any interaction in a relationship, even if it's negative. Men tend to value instrumental, problem-solving interactions, and we shut down when the volume goes up. Our physical response to the stress of yet another argument is the classic fight-or-flight reaction, and most men take flight. Especially if she's the verbally skilled one in the marriage—and most women have been a step ahead of us verbally since preschool. All this leads to a lethal dynamic: She brings up a problem; you don't want to talk about it. She gets angry; you fear more conflict and close up tighter. She interprets that to mean you're detaching from the marriage. For the past 25 years, this scenario has been noted by marriage experts for its reliability in predicting marital instability and divorce. "The biggest mistake women make is getting angry at us," says Markman. It fails to solve the conflict and succeeds only in eroding the entire marriage. Here's what you can do about it. The next time you withdraw and she starts yelling about your pushing her away, say something like, "I don't want to shut you out. But I hate to fight with you." The exact words are unimportant. Just make her realize that you're not pulling away from her (the standard rap on men). You're just avoiding conflict. The first time you say this will be such a paradigm shift in your marriage, she'll be more affected by your change than the wording of it. In fact, your wife may be so stunned that the fight will stop right there. Make-up sex, anyone?

Personals There is nothing more glorious than falling in love! What a wonderful feeling it is, when, after all that searching and seeking, you finally hook up with that compatible mate. But wait! How can you know that the person you think is right for you, really right for you? It's easy, well, maybe. All you have to do is make sure that you ask the appropriate questions -- queries that will help you establish how your likes and dislikes, and needs and wants, line up with those of your significant other (should that new love become truly significant in your life). And, of course, the reality has to match up to the answers to these questions. At the right time and place, I suggest people exchange answers to the following questions: 1. Kids or no kids? 2. Smoking or no smoking? 3. Drinking or no drinking? (Same for drugs) 4. Religious beliefs: Match? Blend? Clash? 5. Who works? Who stays home (especially when the kids come along)? 6. Who wants to live where? 7. Who controls the checkbook? 8. What is his/her personal relationship with his/her family? Too distant? Too close? Too weird? Appropriate to your standards? 9. How are holidays spent? At home? With family? Alone? Vacationing? 10. Windows opened or closed? Heat/AC on or off? 11. What side of the bed must you (he/she) sleep on? 12. Where to spend vacations? Leisure time? 13. Sick: Left alone or babied? 14. Appropriate gift giving: birthdays? Yuletide holidays? Special occasions? 15. Who does what around the house? 16. What is acceptable hygiene? 17. What are his/her hobbies, pastimes? 18. Preferences: Music? Movie? Book favorites? 19. Favorite foods? 20. Pets or no pets? What kind? 21. Decisions about the children: School, church, discipline, allowance, extra curricular activities, friends, and curfew? 22. Mealtimes: Early or late? 23. Furniture: Vintage or Contemporary? 24. Sleeping habits: Four hours or eight? Three more compatibility factors If this list is not enough to help you determine whether or not your new love is right for you, try these as additional ways to size up the compatibility factor: How does your new love handle a crisis? Behave in public places? Treat your friends and family? I also think you can tell a great deal about your new mate by the way he treats his mother and how she treats her father. Observing how a person regards that parent is key in establishing how he or she will treat you! If you are in love -- if you've finally met Mr. or Ms. Right -- step back from all that awe and wonderment for a moment and get answers to all of the above. You will find out whether or not this new relationship (the one you've been looking for all this time) is one that will or will not last. As they say, love can be blind, but if it is going to last, love also has to be practical! MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO DO THIS.

SECRET #29 HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE! Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the oil once a year or every 7,500 miles in passenger car and light truck gasoline engines. For diesel engines and turbocharged gasoline engines, the usual recommendation is every 3,000 miles or six months. If you read the fine print, however, you'll discover that the once a year, 7,500 mile oil change is for vehicles that are driven under ideal circumstances. What most of us think of as "normal" driving is actually "severe service" driving. This includes frequent short trips (less than 10 miles, especially during cold weather), stop-and-go city traffic driving, driving in dusty conditions (gravel roads, etc.), and driving at sustained highway speeds during hot weather. For this type of driving, which is actually "severe service: driving, the recommendation is to change the oil every 3,000 miles or six months. For maximum protection, most oil companies say to change the oil every 3,000 miles or three to six months regardless of what type of driving you do. A new engine with little or no wear can probably get by on 7,500 mile oil changes. But as an engine accumulates miles, blowby increases. This dumps more unburned fuel into the crankcase which dilutes the oil. This causes the oil to break down. So if the oil isn't changed often enough, you can end up with accelerated wear and all the engine problems that come with it (loss of performance and fuel economy, and increased emissions and oil consumption). Oil Analysis Truck fleets often monitor the condition of the oil in their vehicles by having samples analyzed periodically. Oil samples are sent to a laboratory that then analyzes the oil's viscosity and acid content. Oil is then burned in a device called a spectrometer that reveals various impurities in the oil. From all of this, a detailed report is generated that reveals the true condition of the oil. Oil analysis is a great idea for fleets and trucks that hold a lot of oil. But most consumers would have a hard time justifying the cost. Having an oil sample analyzed typically costs $12 to $20 for the lab work and report. Most quick lube shops charge $16.95 to $19.95 for an oil change. So why spend your money on a report that will probably tell you your oil needs changing? Just change the oil every 3,000 miles and don't worry about it. Regular oil changes for preventative maintenance are cheap insurance against engine wear, and will always save you money in the long run if you keep a car for more than three or four years. It's very uncommon to see an engine that has been well maintained with regular oil changes develop major bearing, ring, cam or valve problems under 100,000 miles. What About The Oil Filter? To reduce the costs of vehicle ownership and maintenance, many car makers say the oil filter only needs to be replaced at every other oil change. Most mechanics will tell you this is false economy. The oil filters on most engines today have been downsized to save weight, cost and space. The "standard" quart-sized filter that was once common on most engines has been replaced by a pint-sized (or smaller) filter. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that a smaller filter has less total filtering capacity. Even so, the little filters should be adequate for a 3,000 mile oil change intervals -- but may run out of capacity long before a second oil change at 6,000 or 15,000 miles. Replacing the oil filter every time the oil is changed, therefore, is highly recommended. An engine's main line of defense against abrasion and the premature wear it causes is the oil filter. The filter's job is to remove solid contaminants such as dirt, carbon and metal particles from the oil before they can damage bearing, journal and cylinder wall surfaces in the engine. The more dirt and other contaminants the filter can trap and hold, the better. In today's engines, all the oil that's picked up by the oil pump is routed through the filter before it goes to the crankshaft bearings, cam bearings and valvetrain. This is called "full-flow" filtration. It's an efficient way of removing contaminants, and it assures only filtered oil is supplied to the engine. In time, though, accumulated dirt and debris trapped by the filter begin to obstruct the flow of oil. The filter should be changed before it reaches this point, which is why the filter needs to be replaced when the oil is changed. If you wait too long to change the filter, there's a danger that it might become plugged. To prevent this from causing a catastrophic engine failure due to loss of lubrication, oil filters have a built-in safety device called a "bypass valve." When the pressure drop across the filter exceeds a predetermined value (which varies depending on the engine application), the bypass valve opens so oil can continue to flow to the engine. But this allows unfiltered oil to enter the engine. Any contaminants that find their way into the crankcase will be pumped through the engine and accelerate wear. Filter Replacement If you do your own oil changes, make sure you get the correct filter for your engine. Follow the filter manufacturer's listings in its catalog. Many filters that look the same on the outside have different internal valving. Many overhead cam engines, for example, require an "anti-drainback" valve in the filter to prevent oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is shut off. This allows oil pressure to reach critical engine parts more quickly when the engine is restarted. Filters that are mounted sideways on the engine typically require an anti-drainback valve. CAUTION: The threads on a spin-on filter must also be the correct diameter and thread pitch (SAE or metric) for your engine. If you install a filter with SAE threads on an engine that requires metric threads (or vice versa), you can damage the threads that hold the oil filter in place. Mismatched threads can also allow the filter to work loose, which causes a sudden loss of oil pressure that may ruin your engine! Some people say it's best to change the oil when the oil is hot (like right after driving), while others say it makes no difference. CAUTION: Hot oil is thinner and runs out faster but can also burn you if you're not careful. In any event, avoid unnecessary skin contact with oil because oil is a suspected carcinogen (causes cancer). Changing the oil when it is cold may take a bit longer because the oil will drain more slowly from the engine, but there's no danger of being burned. Also, most of the oil will have drained down into the oil pan when the engine has sat for a period of time, which means you'll actually get a little more of the old oil out of the engine than if you attempt to drain it while it is still hot. Used motor oil should be disposed of properly. The Environmental Protection Agency does not consider used motor oil to be a hazardous chemical, but it can foul ground water and does contain traces of lead. The best way to dispose of used motor oil is to take it to a service station, quick lube shop, parts store or other facility for recycling. Your old oil will either be rerefined into other lubricants or petroleum products, or burned as fuel. Do not dump used motor oil on the ground, down a drain, into a storm sewer or place it in the trash. Many landfills will not accept used motor oil even if it is in a sealed container because it will eventually leak out into the ground. If you can't find an environmentally-acceptable way to dispose of the stuff, maybe you shouldn't be changing your own oil. Service facilities that do oil changes all have storage tanks and recycling programs to dispose of used oil.  SECRET #39 HOW TO GET YOUR CAR READY FOR WINTER

Researchers at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine analyzed data on nearly 11,500 patients who had a coronary angiography to evaluate possible heart disease. For this test, radiocontrast dye is injected into the patient's blood vessels in order to highlight the coronary arteries on the X-ray images. In this study, changes in the patients' serum creatinine levels (an indicator of kidney function) were evaluated before and after they were injected with the dye. An increase in serum creatinine levels indicates a reduction in kidney function. The study found that even a small drop in kidney function after dye injection was linked with a significantly increased risk of death within the next 30 days. A 25 percent to 50 percent increase in serum creatinine levels in the days after dye injection was associated with a 39 percent increased risk of death. In general, the larger the increase in serum creatinine, the greater the risk of death, the study said. "Our study helps to identify early changes in kidney function that should alert clinicians to a potential problem with kidney function," study lead author Dr. Steven D. Weisbord said in a prepared statement. "This will help clinicians implement measures to prevent further loss of kidney function and potentially avoid serious adverse events," Weisbord said. The findings were published in the October Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. More information The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about serum creatinine.

No plastic wrap in microwave Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin So such things as frozen dinners, instant raman noodles and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

WASHINGTON - 9-5-06 Older women taking certain hormone replacement therapy may suffer hearing damage, scientists report. A study of 124 postmenopausal women found that those taking hormone replacement therapy that included progestin had poorer speech understanding than women who were not taking hormones or who were using estrogen only. The findings, by a team led by Dr. Robert D. Frisina at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y., are reported in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The team previously had reported indications of hearing problems associated with hormone therapy and their new study says progestin is the likely culprit. The research found problems in the inner ear and in some measures of brain function affecting hearing in women using hormone therapy with progestin, Frisina said in a telephone interview. Since hearing problems can affect quality of life, including family and business activities, he urges increased hearing testing for women using this therapy. "We feel this should be added to the list of possible side effects, so when a woman and her doctor make their decision she can weigh this," Frisina said, adding it may be a particular concern for women who already have some hearing loss. "I tell women to have their hearing tested if they are going to start" hormone replacement therapy, and to have it rechecked every six months, he said. If it starts getting worse they may want to reconsider the dosage or the use of progestin, he said. Many birth control pills also contain progestin and Frisina said he is not aware of any studies to determine if that has an effect on women's hearing. "It should be studied," he said. Meanwhile, his next step is to look at women who stop using progestin and see if the hearing damage is reversible. Not everyone is convinced of the findings, however. "The jury is still out" on the effects of hormone replacement therapy on hearing, says Dr. Karen S. Helfer of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Helfer, who said she has done similar research on a smaller scale, said, "There are a number of reasons to suspect that (hormone replacement therapy) would have either a positive or a negative effect on hearing. Subtle differences in auditory abilities can be demonstrated during different phases of the menstrual cycle. There are also a number of animal studies that show either positive or negative hormonal influences on hearing." And Dr. Wendy S. Klein of Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center noted that the study included only 32 women treated with progestin, which she said makes it difficult to generalize from the results. Thirty were taking estrogen only and 62 were not using hormones. The study looked at women aged 60 to 86 who had received hormone treatment from five to 35 years. "If you asked an older patient what medications they had taken over the course of a lifetime, they may not remember with accuracy," she said. "Although the analyses regarding hearing loss was clearly done with careful attention to measurement of hearing, and to biostatistics ... I find it very difficult to draw any significant conclusions about causality from this study," concluded Klein. Klein and Helfer were not part of Frisina's research team. The study was funded by the National Institute on Aging, National Institute on Deafness and Communications Disorders and the International Center for Hearing and Speech Research in Rochester  CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO GO TO WWW.SITE RIGHT NOW.COM GO TO YOUR INBOX SECTION OF OUTLOOK EXPRESS OR EMAIL SECTION SET UP A FILE BELOW INBOX & OUTBOX OF "YOUR NAME" SUCH AS "LINDA'S SAVED ITEMS" LEFT CLICK & HOLD ON THE EMAIL YOU WANT TO SAVE AND DRAG THE CURSOR TO THE LEFT INTO THE PERSONS FILE WHERE YOU WANT TO KEEP IT, SUCH AS "LINDS'S SAVED ITEMS", AND RELEASE THE CURSOR.

CLICK "YES" First off, you'll be glad to learn copying and pasting is easy. You can copy and paste just about anything your little heart desires: text, web pages, files, pictures, you name it. The idea behind the process is to take information from one place and deposit it into another. For an example, let's pretend you're working in a word processor and need to copy and paste a section of your document into an e-mail. Here's how: 1. First, you'll need to select the text you wish to copy. You do this by putting your mouse cursor at the first character you want to copy and, holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the last character you need copied. As you drag, you'll notice everything gets highlighted (selected). 2. Next, right-click the selected area. Choose Copy from the menu that pops up (or you can use CTRL-C if you like keyboard shortcuts). 3. Finally, right-click the area in your e-mail document where you would like to insert the word processor text. Click Paste from the menu that pops up (For this, CTRL-V is your keyboard shortcut). That's it. The steps are basically the same for any copy & paste procedure you need to do ANOTHER WAY TO COPY & PASTE IS: RIGHT CLICK WITH THE CURSOR AT THE POINT WHERE YOU WANT TO BEGIN COPYING CLICK "SELECT ALL" YOU'LL NOTICE ALL INFO IS HIGH LIGHTED RIGHT CLICK & THEN CLICK ON "COPY" GO TO THE AREA WHERE YOU WANT TO TRANSFER OR PASTE THE INFO RIGHT CLICK INBETWEEN THE EXACT LINES, WHERE YOU WANT TO TRANSFER THE INFO CLICK ON "PASTE" PRESTO, YOU'RE DONE If you want to get a little more fancy, place your cursor at the first character you want selected and, while holding down the SHIFT key, click next to the last character you want selected. It's sometimes easier to follow this procedure than to make selections by dragging, especially when your wrestling with a lengthy document. I can't remember the number of times the area I wanted to stop selecting at zipped right by me on a document! Another fun way to use the SHIFT key is adding to an existing selection. Let's say you select an area of text and you came up short of what you really needed. Rather than trying to re-select the whole thing, just hit the SHIFT key and click your mouse where you would like the selection to end. (You can also shorten a selection by doing this too.) After you have used the SHIFT key to get your text selected, follow the pervious steps to copy / paste  HOW TO PAUSE LIVE TV. HOW TO REWIND LIVE TV. HOW TO ELIMINATE COMMERCIALS FROM TV.

A clean lens is VERY important for taking good photos. A lens that's full of lent and smudges can't give you a good picture. You'll get poor color, contrast and shaprness. You'll end up with soft, foggy photos instead of sharp images. Cleaning the lens is easy. Go to a local camera store and get a good lens cleaning kit. It should include both lens tissue or a good microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Buy the best kit they have or build one yourself. Your expensive camcorders and digital cameras need the best quality cleaning kits for optimum performance. Put a few drops of lens cleaning solution on a dry piece of lens tissue. Rub the lens gently in a circular motion. Dry any excess cleaner with a second piece of lens tissue. Breath on the lens to fog it up and take a dry piece of lens tissue and wipe it off again. This gets rid of any soap left over from the cleaning solution. It's very important to use good quality lens paper, not your shirt or kleenex, which will scratch your lens.

CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO LEARN HOW TAPES WORK COMPARED TO DVD'S & HARD DRIVES May 28, 2006 — Warm weather is finally here. But that means that lightning storms are here, too. Here are some impotant tips on how to protect yourself during a lightning storm. Remember the 30-second rule. If there are fewer than 30 seconds between thunder and lightning striking, it's time to get indoors. When inside your home, don't talk on a corded phone. If lightning strikes your house, it can travel through the phone lines, through the phone cord and into your ear. Most lightning deaths that occur inside the home happen because people are talking on the phone at the time of the strike. If you must remain outdoors and you're with a group of people, separate instead of huddling together. If you remain in a clump, that gives the electrical current lots of bodies to run through if you're hit. Still outside? Crouch down close to the ground with your feet touching together. That way even if lightning strikes 100 feet away, the current will come up through one foot and back down the other and won't travel through your body and won't harm vital organs. Cell towers are expensive, costing from $100,000 to more than $1 million to set up. They also present logistical problems, such as clearing local regulations and finding suitable placement. Space Data uses standard weather balloons, which cost about $50 each, to carry special purpose cell towers. These towers are small -- 10 cubic inches -- and light -- less than 12 pounds. The balloons travel 20 miles above the earth, well above commercial airliner pathways. Because of their highflying position, the devices cover a larger area -- from 50 miles to 500 miles -- than traditional cell towers. So far, Space Data has concentrated on the oil industry. It's launched balloons in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico that help companies track their vehicles and monitor the production of their oil wells and pipelines. In addition, the company is working with the U.S. military on potential strategic uses of the technology. Using the balloons for regular cell service could be a harder sell. But it might make sense in certain areas, analysts say. "Now that carriers have deployed cell stations throughout metropolitan areas, they are searching for ways to reach more remote locations, like Montana, as well as camp sites and parks," said Neil Strother, an analyst at market research firm NPD Group. While the new approach should be less expensive and eliminate many of the zoning hoops carriers face, it raises new logistical issues. There are questions about how well the systems will perform in bad weather and how effectively carriers can track the balloons and ensure that they stay on track. "The biggest problem is keeping the cell tower aloft," said Ira Brodsky, president of market research firm Datacomm Research. After they're launched, the balloons swell from six feet to 30 feet in diameter as they gain altitude. The balloons eventually rise so high that they are out of transmission range. Later on, they disintegrate in the atmosphere. Before that happens, the cellular carrier wants to salvage the cell tower. So the balloons are equipped with a mechanism to jettison the cell tower and have it fall slowly and safely to earth via a parachute. Tracking Them Down Each tower is outfitted with a global positioning system so the flight can be tracked. After the towers land, the carriers send runners to retrieve them so they can be used again. How many of the cell towers will be lost or damaged during their balloon rides is unknown. There are other challenges, such as the battery life of the devices. The current systems are outfitted with batteries that last eight to 10 hours. The upshot: Carriers would need to be constantly launching and recovering their cell towers. This represents a large ongoing expense. It's estimated that a firm would have to spend $100,000 to $300,000 annually to support this service. The approach is expected to take root first in areas that are far off main highways or away from cities.  SECRET #95 CHOOSE FROM DOZENS OF BEAUTIFUL SCREENSAVERS
Bounce This Along My mail carrier told me that the US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away. Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you. 1. All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer! It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice. 2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle. 3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often. 4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. 5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen. 6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling. 7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce. 8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet. 9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner. 10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew. 11. Prevent musty suitcases.

Heating and air conditioning repair, where a year or more of vocational training is usually required, pay well. Many grads go on to hook up with a small repair company for a starting salary of between $28,000 and $45,000 per year. Eventually, those who are dedicated usually wind up running their own shops and making upward of $200,000 annually. Top 10 best-paying blue-collar jobs Rank Job Estimated pay Search 1 Public transit attendant $62,088 2 Longshore equipment operators $58,198 3 Brickmasters and stonemasons $57,200 4 Power plant operators $56,472 5 Locomotive operations $56,347 6 Aircraft engine mechanics $55,494 7 Electrical power installers and repairers $55,390 8 Mining occupations $54,704 9 Oil well driller $53,227 10 Telephone line installer/repairer $52,478 But those who have developed the skills necessary for the best blue-collar jobs -- largely mechanics, installers and equipment operators -- find they're doing better than the average American, no matter the color of the collar. The average pay for the top 10 blue-color jobs is just over $27 per hour. Figuring 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year, annual income adds up to $56,347, or 30% more than the U.S. median income of $43,318, according to the Census Bureau. And just like in the white-collar world, certain sacrifices lead to higher salaries. Long-haul truck drivers -- those who traverse the country for days or weeks at a time rather than opt for more family friendly short-hop routes -- can rake in $100,000 or more annually. Wommack points out that most long-haulers also get solid health insurance and 401(k) plans. What's more, a full trucking license only takes about four weeks to obtain before you're on the road. "That computer on your desk needs to be delivered. They know they will never be without a job," Wommack says.

Apollo 11, with Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin was the first Apollo flight to land on the Moon, on July 20, 1969. While Collins flew in orbit around the Moon in the command module, Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the lunar module, landing in the Sea of Tranquillity at 4:17 P.M. According to hitherto un-confirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from mission control for further information. Nothing more was heard. The following astonishing conversation was picked up by ham radio operators that had their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets. At this time, the live television broadcast was interrupted for two minutes due to a supposed "overheated camera", but the transmission below was received loud and clear by hundreds of ham radio operators: According to Otto Binder, who was a member of the NASA space team, when the two moon-walkers, Aldrin and Armstrong were making their rounds some distance from the LEM, Armstrong clutched Aldrin's arm excitedly and exclaimed: Armstrong: What was it? What the hell was it? That's all I want to know!" Mission Control: What's there?... malfunction (garble) ... Mission Control calling Apollo 11 ... Apollo 11: These babies were huge, sir!... Enormous!... Oh, God! You wouldn't believe it! ... I'm telling you there are other space-craft out there ... lined up on the far side of the crater edge! ... They're on the Moon watching us! ... Wilson writes (p. 48): "Binder ends his report with this observation: 'There has, understandably, been no confirmation of this incredible report by NASA or any authorities. WE cannot vouch for its authenticity, but if true, one can surmise that mission control went into a dither and then into a huddle, after which they sternly [ordered] the moonwalkers to 'forget' what they saw and carry on casually and calmly as if nothing had happened. After all, an estimated 600 million people around the world were hanging on every word spoken by the first two men to leave footprints on the Moon." There have been several other ‘contacts’ between NASA craft and UFOs, notably in the early 90’s when according to author William Kliner the following conversation between David Walker, Endeavours shuttle and mission control was recorded. Walker: "Bogey at 3 o'clock ... God ... what is it? My God - it's coming right at us ..." NASA: What's there? Walker: THERE'S NO WAY! Oh God! Get back. MOVE!" NASA: Endeavour! Endeavour! What . . . explain . . . Walker: What the . . . where are we? Where is it? Where . . . it's gone IT'S GONE. Not (unintelligible) . . . UFO. Spacecraft . . . huge . . . intelligent . . . OVER THERE! NASA: Endeavour. Switch . . . NOW! The tape ends abruptly with what would appear to be a NASA order for Walker to change radio frequency. According to Kilner, "…the spacecraft was the size of a small city and glowed bright green as it approached the shuttle. At some point during the encounter, the UFO veered off course to avoid a collision.” If this really was an alien spaceship, where was it coming from or going to we wonder? Could it be that sitting there on the far side of the moon is an alien base? LINKS BELOW GO TO SECRET #113 MOON CONVERSATI0NS

1965 TULSA OK, UFO - CLICK ON THE PICTURE, GO DOWN TO 1965 & CLICK  SECRET #117 RETIRED COLONEL DONALD WARE CLAIMS the B-2 Stealth bomber is an antigravity craft
B-2 Stealth bomber as antigravity craft by Richard Boylan, Ph.D. Date: 09/20/97 Retired Air Force Colonel Donald Ware has passed on to me information from a three-star general he knows who revealed to him in July that "the new Lockheed-Martin space shuttle [National Space Plane] and the B-2 [Stealth bomber] both have electro-gravitic systems on board;" and that " this explains why our 21 Northrop B-2s cost about a billion dollars each." Thus, after taking off conventionally, the B-2 can switch to antigravity mode, and, I have heard, fly around the world without refueling. Thus, the B-2 Spirit advanced bomber has hybrid propulsion and lift technologies, utilizing jet thrust for public take-offs and landings, to look conventional, but switching to antigravity mode for extended cruising range, for lightning-fast maneuverability, and for shrouding the airframe in invisibility (by having its local anti-gravity field bend space-time, and thus light, around the airframe). This "disappearance" from conventional 3-D space-time provides the B-2 with virtually undetectable infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures." The unstable lift and forward-motion characteristics of the B-2's boomerang-like airframe are merely temporary, until it moves into antigravity mode, where independent field propulsion provides stability. Further commentary, revealing that the government eventually plans to release antigravity technology publicly, is provided by Colonel Ware. He says, "Apparently this highly-controlled military program was used to gain experience with 4th-density technology that may transform civil aviation, after all national leaders choose peace." The Colonel thus is suggesting that the Black Projects units behind this antigravity craft are going to share their technology with everyone, once North Korea's Kim Jong-il and Iranian President Ahmadinejad settle down. But the Cabal organization hoarding antigravity technology actually will share antigravity technology only when pigs fly. And the pigs will have to do so without the highly-classified electrogravitic technological asssistance.

   By Laura Morsch, CareerBuilder.com writer He's the leader of the free world, but does the president's salary measure up to his power? Not if you compare his salary with top leaders in the private sector. George W. Bush earns a salary of $400,000 plus a $50,000 nontaxable expense allowance. By contrast, the average Standard & Poor's 500 company CEO took home $11.75 million in 2005, according to a Corporate Library report cited by the AFL-CIO. And while other top government officials earn a very comfortable living, they might be occupying far higher salary brackets in the corporate world: Vice President -- $212,100 Chief Justice, Supreme Court -- $212,100 Associate Justice, Supreme Court -- $203,000 Cabinet-level officials (Secretary of State, Treasury, etc.) -- $183,500 Speaker of the House -- $165,200 Senator or Representative -- $165,200 Despite lower pay in the upper echelons of the government, half of government workers surveyed by CareerBuilder.com said they plan to stay in their current jobs until retirement, and the government's benefits package may be one reason for federal employees' longevity. Unlike most private employees, federal workers can choose from several health plans and life insurance options, according to the Department of Labor's "Career Guide to Industries." The government also helps pick up the tab on the premiums. Government workers also get more paid time off than many other employees. All federal employees receive 13 days of sick leave a year, which accrue indefinitely, according to the DOL. They also earn 13 vacation days each of their first three years of service, 20 vacation days for their next 12 years, and 26 vacation days after their 15th year. And the benefits don't stop at retirement. Those hired after Jan. 1, 1984 can participate in the three-tiered Federal Retirement System. Still, nearly 40 percent of government employees told CareerBuilder.com they are dissatisfied with their spot on the government's pay scale. One-in-four were not given a raise last year and 86 percent did not see a bonus. But do typical government workers really make that much less? It depends on the occupation. The following list compares average salaries in the public sector with nationwide averages, based on 2005 data from the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Attorney Government average: $105,577 Nationwide average: $110,520 Financial Manager Government average: $95,257 Nationwide average: $96,620 Economist Government average: $89,441 Nationwide average: $80,900 Microbiologist: Government average: $80,798 Nationwide average: $63,360 Architect Government average: $80,777 Nationwide average: $68,560 Accountant Government average: $74,907 Nationwide average: $58,020 Librarian Government average: $74,630 Nationwide average: $49,110 Human Resources Manager Government average: $71,232 Nationwide average: $89,950 Nurse Government average: $60,935 Nationwide average: $56,880 Tax examiner Government average: $36,963 Nationwide average: $49,460 Medical Technician Government average: $35,526 Nationwide average: $33,170 Laura Morsch is a writer for CareerBuilder.com.   Add a couple of servings a week of these fountain-of-youth foods. Sunflower Seeds These salty wonders have the highest natural vitamin E content of any food around. "Vitamin E is one of the most important nutrients around for looking younger," says Barry Swanson, Ph.D., a professor of food science at Washington State University. "No antioxidant is more effective at fighting the aging effects of free radicals." Spinach and Beans Researchers in Australia, Indonesia and Sweden studied the diets of 400 elderly men and women, and found that those who ate the most leafy green vegetables and beans had the fewest wrinkles. The reason? Spinach and beans are full of compounds that help prevent and repair wear and tear on your skin cells as you get older. Grape Juice Besides providing protection from heart attack and stroke, grape juice can also help keep your middle-aged skin from sagging. "Grapes are filled with antioxidant polyphenols that help to keep your skin flexible and elastic," says Swanson. Sweet Potatoes Overexposure to the sun is one of the primary reasons men age prematurely. But sweet potatoes may help to fight sun damage. European researchers recently found that pigments from beta-carotene-rich foods—like sweet potatoes and carrots—can build up in your skin, helping to prevent damage from ultraviolet rays. Cheese No wonder rats always look so young. "Cheese is one of the best foods you can eat for your teeth," says Matthew Messina, D.D.S., an American Dental Association spokesman. "It's a good source of calcium, to keep your teeth strong. Plus, eating cheese can lower the levels of bacteria in your mouth and keep your teeth clean and cavity-free," he says. Dr. Messina recommends eating at least two servings of block cheese every week. AGE COMPARISON Owners often ask us to compare "cat years" to "human years." A figure that is commonly used is seven cat years for each calendar year; however, this rule of thumb is not completely accurate. Feline development through puberty to young adulthood is accomplished over a period of about 18 to 24 months, rather than 21 years as in humans. Thus, the cat's first calendar year is more like 16 cat years, and the cat's second calendar year is more like five to seven cat years (up to an equivalent age of 21 to 23 years in humans). After that, add about four cat years for each calendar year of cat life. Thus, an eight-year-old cat is like a 46-year-old person. A 10-year-old cat would be 54, a 15-year-old cat 74, and a 20-year-old cat would be 94 cat years of age. Experts differ as to when one would consider an aging cat to be "geriatric," but you can select your own cut-off based on this comparison to the equivalent age in humans.  HYIP-Blog SEE UFOS .

Officially, the speed of sound is 331.3 meters per second (1,087 feet per second) in dry air at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At a temperature like 28 degrees C (82 degrees F), the speed is 346 meters per second. As you can see, the speed of sound changes depending on the temperature and the humidity; but if you want a round number, then something like 350 meters per second and 1,200 feet per second are reasonable numbers to use. So sound travels 1 kilometer in roughly 3 seconds and 1 mile in roughly 5 seconds. When you see the flash of a lightning bolt, you can start counting seconds and then divide to see how far away the lightning struck. If it takes 10 seconds for the thunder to roll in, the lightning struck about 2 miles or 3 kilometers away. #??.? CANCER DIET SAVED HER LIFE 20 YEARS AGO VOL. 1 8:13 #??

When left-handed women were compared with the other women, and the data were adjusted for a number of potentially confounding factors, lefties had a 40 percent higher risk of dying from any cause, a 70 percent higher risk of dying from cancer, and a 30 percent higher risk of dying from diseases of the circulatory system. Left-handed women also had a 2-fold increased risk of dying from breast cancer, close to a 5-fold increased risk of dying from colorectal cancer, and more than a 3-fold higher risk of cerebrovascular mortality. #1.5 BEST KEPT MILITARY SECRETS - SEVERAL NUCLEAR BOMBS ARE LOST AROUND THE USA INCLUDING NORTH CAROLINA & GEORGIA 8:59 VIDEO NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The regular use of aspirin, but not other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs), is associated with a reduced incidence of cancer and cancer-related death, particularly among former smokers and those who never smoked. NSAIDs include commonly used analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, that are usually available over-the-counter. The findings were reported Monday at the 100th annual gathering of the American Association for Cancer Research in Los Angeles by Dr. Aditya Bardia of Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota. "The take-home message is that aspirin might have anti-cancer effects, but can also have adverse effects such as gastric bleeding. One should speak to his or her doctor about the risks and benefits of aspirin use," Bardia told Reuters Health. Previous studies have looked at whether aspirin or NSAIDs prevent specific cancers, such as breast cancer, Bardia noted. "Our study is different in the sense that it is a large...study that looked at the association between aspirin and non-aspirin use, and overall cancer incidence and mortality, in a comprehensive fashion, and also evaluated the results by smoking status," the lead researcher said. Among 22,507 postmenopausal women in the Iowa Women's Health Study who were followed for up to 12 years, 3,487 developed cancer and 1,193 died from the disease. Regular aspirin use, compared with no aspirin use, was associated with a 16-percent lower risk of cancer and a 13-percent lower risk of cancer death, the team reported. The inverse association between aspirin use and the risk of cancer and cancer-related death was strongest among former smokers and those who never smoked compared with current smokers, although this fell short of statistical significance. Aspirin use also appeared to protect patients against coronary heart disease and the overall mortality rate. NSAID use, on the other hand, was not associated with cancer incidence or death, heart-disease death, or mortality from any cause. This study provides "provocative evidence that regular aspirin use may play a role in preventing the most common chronic diseases in western countries, namely cancer and heart disease," Bardia said in a statement. #?? WE NEVER REALLY WENT TO THE MOON 5:??. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn6WZf_eOvE&NR=1 By Will Dunham Wed May 16, 2:10 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mice with deep skin wounds can grow new hair, scientists said on Wednesday in a finding that offers hope for a baldness remedy for humans. ADVERTISEMENT The mice regenerated hair at the site of the wound via molecular processes similar to those used in embryonic development, according to the research, published in the journal Nature. The findings show mammals possess greater regenerative abilities than commonly believed. While some amphibians can regenerate limbs and some reptiles can regenerate tails, regeneration in mammals is far more limited. Dr. George Cotsarelis, a dermatology professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia who led the study, said the findings dispel the dogma that hair loss is permanent in people and other mammals, and that once they are lost new hair follicles cannot grow. Cotsarelis said the findings could pave the way for remedies for male-pattern baldness and other types of hair-loss. He said the idea would be to apply compounds to get epidermal cells to turn into hair follicles. The regenerated follicles functioned normally, cycling through the various stages of hair growth, and the hair was indistinguishable from neighboring hair with a key exception -- it lacked pigmentation and was white. The otherwise brown-haired mice had patches of white hair marking the site of the wound. Cotsarelis said the white-hair issue may not materialize in any baldness remedy in people because the human pigmentation system differs from that in mice. NEW HAIRS FORMED The researchers made relatively large wounds on the backs of adult mice, and found that if a wound reached a certain size new hairs formed at its center, with the skin undergoing changes mimicking stages of embryonic hair-follicle development. Dormant embryonic molecular pathways were activated, sending stem cells -- master cells able to transform into other cell types -- to the damaged skin. The stem cells that gave rise to the regenerated follicles were not stem cells usually associated with hair-follicle development. "They're actually coming from epidermal cells that don't normally make hair follicles. So they're somehow reprogrammed and told to make a follicle," Cotsarelis said. The researchers also found a way to amplify the natural regeneration process, causing mice to grow twice as many new hairs by giving the skin a specific molecular signal. Cotsarelis is involved with Follica Inc., a privately held start-up company that has licensed the patent on the process from the University of Pennsylvania. He said it probably would be more than five years before a treatment was possible. Cotsarelis also envisioned treating wounds in a way that would leave skin with hair follicles, sweat glands and other normal attributes that would be functionally and cosmetically much better than a scar. Dr. Cheng-Ming Chuong, a professor of pathology at the University of Southern California who was not involved in the study, said it proved the principle that hair can regenerate from adult skin, but cautioned that human skin differs from mouse skin. "Repair and regeneration appear to be in competition," Chuong said by e-mail. "Since fast-closing wounds help the survival of wild animals, repair often dominates regeneration. In the practice of medicine, physicians are trained to close wounds as soon as possible, thus leaving not enough time for regeneration to occur." #?? HOW TO PLAY GUITAR CHORDS 4:02 >Season of conception tied to school performance NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The time of year a woman conceives may influence the future academic performance of her child, according to research reported this week at the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting. ADVERTISEMENT When researchers linked standardized test scores of 1,667,391 Indiana students in grades 3 through 10 with the month in which each student had been conceived, they found that children conceived May through August scored significantly lower on math and language tests than children conceived during other months of the year. The correlation between test scores and conception season held regardless of race, gender, and grade level. Why might this be? According to Dr. Paul Winchester of Indiana University School of Medicine who led the study, says the evidence points to environmental pesticides, used most often in the summer months, as a possible player. The lower test scores correlated with higher levels of pesticides and nitrates in the surface water (nearby streams and other bodies of water) during that same time period, he told Reuters Health. "Exposure to pesticides and nitrates can alter the hormonal milieu of the pregnant mother and the developing fetal brain," Winchester explained in a statement. For example, past research has linked exposure to pesticides and nitrates to low thyroid hormone levels ("hypothyroidism") in pregnant women and hypothyroidism in pregnancy has been tied to lower intelligence test scores in offspring. While the current findings do not prove that pesticides and nitrates contribute to lower test scores, "they strongly support such a hypothesis," Winchester said. "A priori there should be no reasons particularly why the month of conception should change your (test) scores," he added in an interview, "and yet from our chain of evidence our hypothesis was that if pesticides do alter the friendly environment of the developing fetus than that might be reflected in lower scores. And unfortunately that's what we found." "There is something going on" and it needs to be studied further, Winchester concluded.

Set your mower to the highest cut setting or one notch down from that. 2. Cut the lawn, but remove no more than 1/3 its height in a single pass. If it's tall and shaggy, and you've got the time to do so, make two cuts. Space the cuts a couple of days apart to avoid leaving behind large clumps of moist grass clippings. 3. If the blade is dull or chipped, either resharpen it or replace it. 4. Feed the lawn. Apply a fertilizer per the rate instructions listed on the bag that matches your spreader. Don't overapply the material. That just contributes to excessive growth without really benefiting the lawn's root system. 5. Roughen soil and apply seed to damaged areas. Apply a fertilizer designated as "starter" or "seed starter" to these areas. 6. Water the lawn if necessary. If it's hot and dry where you are, by all means get out the sprinkler. A lawn requires about 1 inch of water per week. Wind increases moisture evaporation, so increase the amount of water you apply if it's windy where you are. By Jeff Cohen Special to Yahoo! Personals Updated: Aug 4, 2007 Most guys know from the get-go whether or not they see potential in a woman. There's that inner voice that tells you this is someone worth pursuing. When the first date ends, you're not even thinking about playing games. You know you want a second date. You wait your standard two days, call to set up that date and get the dreaded voicemail. You leave a heartfelt message, but after three days it becomes clear this great gal is not calling you back. Where did you go wrong? Were you the only one feeling sparks over lattes? Were you the only one feeling sparks over lattes? Top 10 turnoffs for women Maybe the answer is to learn the top 10 turnoffs that make great gals wave goodbye. If any of these fictional guys sound like you, it's time to change your approach. Great Gal Turnoff #1: Showboat Sammy Maybe he owns a yacht off the coast of France. Maybe he has a timeshare in the Hamptons. Maybe his annual bonus is bigger than most guys' salaries. That's all well and good, but does it really need to be divulged on the first date? Great Gal Turnoff #2: Messy Melvin A-list celebrities can pull off the unkempt look. First-daters need to pay attention to shaving, clothing and bad breath. If the guy can't even put in the effort for a first impression, it doesn't bode well down the road. Great Gal Turnoff #3: Rude Ricky "Where's our drinks, lady?" If a guy treats the service staff with a lack of respect, a great gal will likely assume he'll do the same to her someday. The last thing anyone wants is to be talked down to or disrespected. The last thing anyone wants is to be talked down to or disrespected. Great Gal Turnoff #4: Cheapie Charlie There will always be debate about who should pay on a first date. Some guys are traditionalists and want to foot the bill; others expect a 50-50 monetary split. In most cases, offering to pay is the way to go. Let her pick up the tab on a future date. Great Gal Turnoff #5: Still-Married Michael Marriage, separation and divorce are pretty cut-and-dry terms. If a guy says he's separated when he really means he's cheating on his wife, it's going to cause trouble. Be honest from the get-go and let the dating chips fall where they may. Great Gal Turnoff #6: Hands-On Howie Guys need to read the signals before assuming hand holding, massaging and other touchy-feely activities have the green light. Jumping too quickly to any form of intimacy can make any guy seem too aggressive. Jumping too quickly to any form of intimacy can make any guy seem too aggressive. Great Gal Turnoff #7: Stereotyping Stephen "Oh, you're one of those types of women." Jumping to conclusions about a date from the way she answers one or two questions is a definite mistake. Let the date unfold before making assumptions about someone you just met. Great Gal Turnoff #8: Distracted David His cell phone is ringing constantly, he's popping away from the table every 10 minutes, and he keeps interrupting the conversation flow. First dates require focused attention -- that means putting the phone on vibrate, making eye contact and being present. Great Gal Turnoff #9: All-Business Barry Some guys are great salesmen or outstanding negotiators. But there's a time and place for business and a time and place for leisure. Guys who treat first dates like business transactions will never close the deal. Great Gal Turnoff #10: Nervous Ned He can't sit still, he's banging his fork on the table, and he won't make eye contact for more than three seconds. Nervous antics are a real turnoff and make a great gal think a guy has something to hide. Work out the nervous kinks before the date starts. What are the "10 Turnoffs That Make Good Guys Wave Goodbye"? See them here Jeff Cohen is the author of "Dating, Inc.," a that shows women a step-by-step plan for finding true love using the same skills that already make them successful at work. Jeff has appeared on CNN, CBS, and Voice of America, and been interviewed by USA Today, Daily News, Denver Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Boston Herald, and Martha Stewart Living Radio. He earned degrees in marketing from the Wharton School of Business and psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and readily admits taking charge of his love life through a game plan that included 77 blind dates before he found the one. Eat Right Without Thinking By Holly McCord & Virginia Leoni Moles, Men's Health As new college kids ditch home life for campus life, many of them face the dreaded freshman 15. But the sudden weight gain could affect any of us, as we pack away our bathing suits and begin purchasing heavier sweaters and sweatshirts that can potentially hide bulging bellies underneath. When summer ends, we eat more, because we can get away with it. We're not as likely to bare our midsections and no longer will we strut ourstuff on the beach. That means more nights of ordering out pizza, and over-doing dessert. To prevent fall weight gain, adopt some of the following smart habits. These 20 simple tactics—if you stick to them regularly—will help you get more of the stuff you need into your diet while eliminating the stuff you don't. The best part? Before long you'll be dining like a nutrition expert, without even thinking about it. At breakfast, put coffee in your milk instead of milk in your coffee. Fill your mug to the rim with skim milk first thing in the morning. Drink it down until all that's left is the amount you'd normally add to your coffee; then pour your java on top. You just took in 25 percent of the vitamin D you need every day, and 30 percent of the calcium. Take your vitamins every morning. Study by study, evidence is mounting that a standard multivitamin fills enough of the gaps in your diet to make a real difference. For example, a recent study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute in Seattle showed that people who took a multivitamin supplement and 200 I.U. of vitamin E for 10 years were half as likely to get colon cancer. Drink two glasses of water before every meal. This will do two things: keep you hydrated and make you eat a little less. A Dutch study showed that drinking two glasses of water can make you feel less hungry, possibly reducing your food intake and aiding weight loss. Always order your pizza with double tomato sauce and light cheese. Men who eat a lot of tomato products tend to have less prostate cancer—probably because tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, a type of carotenoid that's believed to cut your risk of cancer. If you double the sauce on your pizza, you get double the lycopene. Reducing the mozzarella by just one-third (you won't miss it) will save you 20 grams of fat. That's as much as in a McDonald's Quarter-Pounder. Always order your sandwiches with double tomato slices. Another chance for a healthy dose of lycopene. Pile onions on everything. Research has revealed that onions are so healthful—they're a top source of heart savers called flavonoids—that it's practically your duty to eat them lavishly on hot dogs, pizza, burgers, and sandwiches. And speaking of junk food... Whenever you eat fast food, drink two glasses of water afterward. Big Macs, subs, fries, and pepperoni pizza are all loaded with fat and sodium, which can be hellish for your heart. You can't do much about the fat once you've eaten it, but you can flush away some of the excess sodium by drinking plenty of fluid afterward, says Tina Ruggiero, R.D., a New York City dietitian. When the waitress asks what you want to drink, always say iced tea. The more we learn about tea, the more healthful it looks. A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that a serving of black tea had more antioxidants—crucial to your body's defense against heart disease, cancer, and even wrinkles—than a serving of broccoli or carrots. Have an afternoon snack every day at 3 o'clock. A nutritional boost between lunch and dinner wards off fatigue and keeps you from overindulging later, says Keith Ayoob, Ed.D., R.D., director of the nutrition clinic at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Rose F. Kennedy Center. Just don't scarf down a candy bar. Try yogurt and fruit, crackers and cheese, or eat an egg (hard-boiled), an apple, and a thirst-quencher like bottled water. All of these foods will give you long-lasting energy. Always leave the skin on your fruit. If you peel apples or pears, you're throwing away heavy-duty nutrients and fiber. Same goes for potatoes. Go ahead and peel oranges, but leave as much of the fibrous white skin under the rind as you care to eat—it's loaded with flavonoids. Ditto for the white stem that runs up the middle. Put a bottle of water in the office freezer every night before you leave work. You already know that you should drink eight glasses of water a day, but how are you supposed to do it? Fill a half-gallon bottle in the morning, and make sure you've downed it all by the time you go home. If you like your water cold and you have access to a refrigerator, fill the bottle partially the night before and stick it in the freezer. Next morning, fill it the rest of the way. You'll have ice-cold water all day. Whenever you buy grapefruit, go for red instead of white. Remember lycopene, that stuff in tomatoes that may fight prostate cancer? It's what makes tomatoes red. And it's responsible for the color in ruby red grapefruit. (Watermelon and guava also have some.) Eat salmon every Wednesday. Actually, the day doesn't matter; the important thing is to have it once a week. Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat most experts say we don't get enough of. Omega-3s seem to keep the heart from going into failure from arrhythmia—men who eat fish once a week have fewer heart attacks—and they may even ward off depression. A weekly serving of salmon should supply the amount of omega-3 fats you need. Always wash your meat. Here's an easy way to cut the fat content of your secret chili recipe: As soon as you finish browning the ground beef, pour it into a dish covered with a double thickness of paper towels. Then put another paper towel on top and blot the grease. If you want to remove even more fat, dump the beef into a colander and rinse it with hot (but not boiling) water. The water will wash away fat and cholesterol. Using these methods together can cut 50 percent of the meat's fat content. Whenever you have salad, keep the dressing on the side. Here's the drill: Dip your fork in the dressing first, then spear a piece of lettuce, then eat it. Sound dumb? In fact, it's one of the smartest habits you can have. Four tablespoons of, say, honey-mustard dressing can have 60 grams of fat—nearly an entire day's worth for an average guy. Whenever you eat broccoli, put a little margarine, olive oil, or cheese sauce on it. This is our kind of nutrition advice. Broccoli is a rich source of beta-carotene—one of the major antioxidants your body needs. But beta-carotene is fat-soluble, which means it has to hitch a ride on fat molecules to make the trip through your intestinal wall. Without a little fat in the mix, your body won't absorb nearly as much beta-carotene. Always have seconds on vegetables. If we had to pick one food that represents the best insurance for long-term good health, vegetables would be it. Your daily goal: Three servings minimum. A serving, by the way, is ½ cup. Think of a tennis ball—it's about half a cup in volume. Do a fat analysis before every meal. It's tempting to go fat-free at breakfast and lunch so you can indulge in a high-fat dinner. Wrong. Studies show that, for several hours after you eat a meal with 50 to 80 grams of fat, your blood vessels are less elastic and your blood-clotting factors rise dramatically. William Castelli, M.D., director of the Framingham Cardiovascular Institute, says, "The immediate cause of most heart attacks is the last fatty meal." Spread your fat intake over the whole day. Always eat (a little) dessert. Here's why: Sweets such as cookies and low-fat ice-cream bars signal your brain that the meal is over. Without them, you might not feel satiated - which might leave you prowling the kitchen all night for something to satisfy your sugar jones. Eat a bowl of dry cereal every night before you go to bed. A low-fat, low-calorie carbohydrate snack eaten 30 minutes before bed will help make you sleepy, says Judith Wurtman, Ph.D., of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The nutrition bonus? Cereal is one of the easiest ways to reduce your fiber deficit. (Most men eat only half the 25 to 35 grams of fiber they need daily.) So pick a cereal that has at least 5 grams of fiber per serving.

Of the five prevention tips, the biggest impact would come if adults took a low dose of aspirin every day to prevent heart disease, a step that could save 45,000 lives a year. The report by the Partnership for Prevention, a nonprofit health policy group, also calls for renewed efforts to help smokers quit, more colorectal cancer and breast cancer screening and annual flu shots for people over 50. "This shows so dramatically the potential impact of prevention," said Dr. Kathleen Toomey of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which helped fund the study along with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the WellPoint Foundation. "These are really very modest, low-cost interventions that have such potentially dramatic impact on improving the health of the public," Toomey said in a telephone interview. The study underscores the tendency in the United States to treat disease, rather than prevent it. "Our nation has never truly invested in prevention," Toomey said. The report uncovered racial disparities in use of preventive care. For example, Hispanic smokers are 55 percent less likely than whites to get help to quit smoking and Asian-Americans are the racial group least likely to take aspirin and get screened for breast and colorectal cancer. ASPIRIN A DAY Currently fewer than half of Americans take a low, daily dose of aspirin to prevent heart disease. Boosting aspirin use to 90 percent of adults would save 45,000 lives, the study found. Bolstering efforts to get smokers to quit would have a similar impact. The study found 42,000 lives could be spared if 90 percent of smokers were advised by doctors to quit and were offered drugs and other services to help. Only 28 percent of smokers get such services now. Another 14,000 lives would be saved if 90 percent of adults over 50 were screened regularly for colorectal cancer, and some 12,000 lives would be saved if 90 percent of people over 50 got flu shots every year. Only 37 percent of U.S. adults get an annual flu shot. Regular breast cancer screening for all women over 40 could save another 4,000 lives. Only 67 percent of women have been screened in the past two years, the report found. "To actually implement this and have the impact of saving 100,000 lives will really require a multi-pronged approach with public health taking the lead," Toomey said. She said it will be important to educate individuals to take better care of themselves and of loved ones and make sure insurers and employers cover these preventive services.  MSN NEWS WED, AUG 29, 2007 #1.43 SCIENTISTS NOW CAN CAUSE HUMAN OBES YAHOO NEWS Thu Aug 23, 2007 6:08 PM ET CHICAGO (AFP) - For centuries, people have claimed to have had out-of-body experiences but now scientists have recreated the sensation without using drugs in the first experiments of their kind, a study said Thursday. ADVERTISEMENT As many as one in 10 people say they have experienced the sensation of being awake and seeing their own body from another location, according to the study published in the journal Science. "Out-of-body experiences have fascinated mankind for millennia. Their existence has raised fundamental questions about the relationship between human consciousness and the body," said Henrik Ehrsson, a neuroscientist formerly of University College London, and now at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Now neuroscientists have manipulated a group of perfectly healthy volunteers into thinking they had moved outside their bodies by distorting their perception of reality. Using virtual reality goggles to mix up the sensory signals reaching the brain, they induced the volunteers into projecting their awareness into a virtual body. Participants confirmed they had experienced sitting behind their physical body and looking at it. The illusion was so strong that the volunteers reacted with a palpable sense of fear when their virtual selves were threatened with physical force. The findings suggest there may be a scientific explanation for these types of out-of-body experiences, which are often thought of as delusional or paranormal, and the scientists believe their research could have important applications. "The invention of this illusion is important because it reveals the basic mechanism that produces the feeling of being inside the physical body," said Ehrsson. "This represents a significant advance because the experience of one's own body as the center of awareness is a fundamental aspect of self-consciousness." And inducing people to have out-of-body experiences could have wide-ranging uses, he believes. "This is essentially a means of projecting yourself, a form of teleportation. If we can project people into a virtual character, so they feel and respond as if they were really in a virtual version of themselves, just imagine the implications. "The experience of video games could reach a whole new level, but it could go much beyond that. For example, a surgeon could perform remote surgery, by controlling their virtual self from a different location." But scientists still don't know exactly what causes such experiences which have often been associated with traumatic experiences such as car accidents and linked to compromised brain function in epileptics, drug addicts and stroke victims. "Brain dysfunctions that interfere with interpreting sensory signals may be responsible for clinical cases of out-of-body experiences," said Ehrsson. "Though, whether all out-of-body experiences arise from the same causes is still an open question." Caffeine is a substance that exists naturally in certain plants, including tea leaves, kola nuts, and coffee and cocoa beans. It can also be produced synthetically and added to foods and beverages. When caffeine is added to foods and beverages in the United States, it must appear in the list of ingredients on the label. But manufacturers aren't required to list the amount of caffeine. This is true in many other countries as well. Caffeine is a stimulant. It can increase alertness and even enhance performance of certain tasks. For most people, moderate doses of caffeine — 200 to 300 milligrams (mg) a day — aren't harmful. However, excessive caffeine — more than 500 mg a day — can cause irritability, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, headaches and diarrhea.

EATING WELL . COM Each year, 350,000 Americans die from obesity-related illnesses. Sixty-five percent of the U.S. adult population is currently overweight, with 30 percent of those people classified as obese. (Obesity is officially defined as having a Body Mass Index of 30 or more—roughly 40 percent above ideal weight.) While statistics involving adults are ominous, Ludwig, who regularly sees 400-pound teenagers and whose obesity clinic has a 6-month waiting list, worries more about the trends he is witnessing among children, of whom 15 percent in this country are already obese, a number predicted to climb steadily. "Virtually every organ system in a child's body can be influenced by excessive weight," Ludwig says. Among the life-threatening complications are a condition called pseudotumor cerebri, in which the pressure of fluid around the brain increases; sleep apnea, in which breathing during the night periodically stops for 15 seconds or more at a time; and the ever more common type 2 diabetes. "The estimated lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes is 35 percent for all children born in America today, 50 percent for Hispanic and African American children," Ludwig says. As young adults they will be vulnerable to heart attacks and may require coronary bypass surgery (the arterial damage that leads to cardiovascular disease begins in childhood). And a recent study showed that many adolescents who develop type 2 diabetes require amputation and kidney dialysis before their 30th birthday. Mon Sep 10, 5:35 PM ET YAHOO NEWS YAHOO NEWS 9-10-07 MOST REMARKABLE WATER SCIENCE DISCOVERY IN 100 YEARS - BURN SALT WATER ERIE, Pa. - An Erie cancer researcher has found a way to burn salt water, a novel invention that is being touted by one chemist as the "most remarkable" water science discovery in a century. John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn. The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel. Rustum Roy, a Penn State University chemist, has held demonstrations at his State College lab to confirm his own observations. The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen, Roy said. Once ignited, the hydrogen will burn as long as it is exposed to the frequencies, he said. The discovery is "the most remarkable in water science in 100 years," Roy said. "This is the most abundant element in the world. It is everywhere," Roy said. "Seeing it burn gives me the chills." Roy will meet this week with officials from the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to try to obtain research funding. The scientists want to find out whether the energy output from the burning hydrogen — which reached a heat of more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit — would be enough to power a car or other heavy machinery. "We will get our ideas together and check this out and see where it leads," Roy said. "The potential is huge."

Winner of buried Belvedere died in 1979 Sun Jun 24, 10:11 AM ET TULSA, Okla. - The winner of a rusted 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that was unearthed last week from a leaky vault in Tulsa died in 1979, and the ownership of the car will pass to his closest living relatives. ADVERTISEMENT When the car was buried in 1957, more than 800 people submitted guesses on what Tulsa's population — which was around 250,000 in 1957 — would be in 2007. Guesses ranged from zero to 2 billion, but Raymond E. Humbertson's guess of 384,743 was only slightly off the official U.S. Census count of 382,457. Tulsa officials announced Friday that Humbertson had won the two-door hardtop Belvedere that drew international attention when it was pulled from the vault on June 15. His nephew, Donald Humbertson of Woodbridge, Va., said that Raymond Humbertson died of cancer at age 57 and his wife, Margaret Humbertson, died in 1988. Raymond and Margaret Humbertson had no children, their nephew said. Raymond Humbertson's closest living relatives are two elderly sisters in Maryland, Donald Humbertson said. The Oklahoma Centennial Commission will have a trust company speak with the Humbertson family about the family's wishes for the car, centennial events co-chairwoman Sharon King Davis said Saturday. Donald Humbertson said that his uncle was a career Marine and a Korean War veteran who spent his final years as an administrator at a community college in northern Virginia. "He was just sort of a happy-go-lucky guy," Donald Humbertson said. The family coincidentally had a reunion planned for Saturday to unveil a monument in a cemetery in Cumberland, W.Va. "This will probably give us something to talk about," said Dina Lawyer, Raymond Humbertson's grandniece. Had it been in good condition when it was lifted from its vault under the lawn of the Tulsa County Courthouse, the gold-and-white Belvedere could have been worth as much as $50,000, but because of massive water damage, its value now mostly is historical. The winner of the car also will receive a $100 savings bond buried with it. On the Web: http://www.buriedcar.com/  FACT OR FICTION Do You Really Need Seven Hours of Sleep? Yep, you do. By Temma Ehrenfeld | Newsweek Web Exclusive Feb 19, 2008 | Updated: 12:25 p.m. ET Feb 19, 2008 Related:Arizona Robert Rosenberg Sleep Disorders Center of Prescott Valley Yep, you do. Although people do vary in how much sleep they need, the differences are slight, and the vast majority of us (including seniors) need seven to eight hours. Most people who regularly get less than seven hours of rest are simply unaware of the damage that fatigue and sleepiness is doing to their bodies. Chronic "short-sleepers," as scientists call them, have forgotten what it feels like to be well-rested, says Robert Rosenberg, medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center of Prescott Valley, in Arizona. The evidence indicates that a person who regularly sleeps less than seven hours a night functions as badly as someone who hasn't slept for one to three days, according to a research review published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine last year. Furthermore, the largest current longitudinal studies (one involving 21,268 people and another 10,308) showed that sleep-deprivation increased mortality: the chance of dying younger than people of the same age, gender and health-risk factors. In the larger study researchers at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health assessed the sleep habits of the group in 1975 and 1981 and then checked to see who was still alive on Dec. 31, 2003. After comparing subjects' survival rates to the average for people of the same age (and adjusting for other known death risks, like smoking), the researchers concluded that lack of sleep increased mortality in the study participants by 26 percent for men and 21 percent for women. The cause of death might be accidents, or diseases exacerbated by sleep-deprivation. Other current research indicates that lack of sleep affects the body's hormones, immune system and metabolism; hence, it can be a risk factor for obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
