  • What Makes a “Good” Foot?
    Spring has arrived and you’re probably thinking about trail rides, shows and other fun riding events. If you’ve had your horse turned out all winter and are just getting him ready for the riding season, you may want to pay extra attention to how his feet are doing. New research suggests that while genetics play some part in determining how good your horse’s feet are, exercise and environment are just as important. Research by Robert M.

  • The Top Ten Things You Don't Want to Hear About Losing Weight

    (But What You Need to Know if You Want to Get Fit!)

    10) No, you won’t end up looking like the latest hot young model/singer/actress!

    Let’s face it: your body is your body. It’s the only one you’ve got. Can you still look great? Sure! But there are some things you can’t change. You can’t make your legs longer or your feet smaller. You can’t grow five inches or elongate your torso. You have what you have, so work with it! Concentrate on making a healthy and fit you instead of wishing you looked like someone else. You don’t have to be perfect to be attractive. A st ...

    Genetic Testing Still Smart Choice
    Screening embryos for genetic diseases during in vitro fertilization offers couples the best chance for a healthy child, but a genetic glitch could potentially cause doctors to misdiagnose a small fraction of them, University of Florida scientists say. Citing concerns about the accuracy of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, the method a number of practitioners use to pick the healthiest embryos during IVF, UF scientists set out to study the procedure. Their work, described during a recent meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, reveals the technique is actually highly reliable. But because there is a slim chance a genetic abnormality can cause doctors to misdiagnose embryos, some concerns still need to be addressed, the scientists said.......

  • Slaying The Green Eyed Monster

    He hasn't called in hours. You call and get the roommate: "Oh, sorry ....he got in really late last night and is still asleep!"

    Your mind starts racing: "What did he do last night?" Your heart starts to pound. You feel sick to your stomach.. Uh, oh... you're jealous. You feel like you can't live with yourself one more minute until you find out what is going on ... suddenly, the potential threat to the relationship becomes the most important thing in the world ... more important than eating, working or concentrating on tasks at hand. More important than ... living life itself.
