  • 5 Fitness Myths That Are Responsible For Thousands of Fitness Failures

    Unfortunately, many people are misinformed and are also misled by the many promises of the weight loss industry. Everywhere you look, you see or hear of people promising “Dramatic Weight Loss” with products such as “The Fat Trapper”, or “Exercise in a Bottle”.

    Then you also have the hundreds of diets out there such as “The Zone”, “Sugar Busters” or “The Atkins Diet”. I’m sure you have heard of many of these yourself. You might have even tried some of them. Unfortunately, these products and diets are not the quick fix, or the miracles they are portrayed as. They are also usually very d ...

  • Why Are Antioxidants Important To Me?

    Did you know that when we breath oxygen, it interacts with certain molecules in our bodies to create free radicals and that these free radicals damage important cellular structures such as DNA and cell membranes? Well, it is true and this damage may cause cells to function poorly and mutate. Free radical damage may lead to disease and aging.

    We are exposed to huge amounts of free radicals from pollution, and pesticides. Every time you breathe, you take in millions of free radical molecules created by cigarette smoke, radiation, and automobile emissions. Every time you eat, you consume ...

  • "Stranger Danger" revisited: Concentrate on situations and actions!
    Children do not understand the concept of "stranger". When you try to explain to them, it is even difficult to explain. Therefore, situations need to be discussed and acted out for young children to understand what to watch out for! It needs to be communicated, that strangers are not necessarily bad, but unknown. You are not being impolite to be cautious with people you don't know, just being SAFE!

    1. The child's age is an important consideration:
    * Children aged 3-5: They are curious and may be naturally trusting. They also easily respond to adult attempts to be kind and supportive. ...

    Seeking an Ethical Option to Embryonic Stem Cell Research
    Seeking an Ethical Option to Embryonic Stem Cell Research REV. THOMAS BERG There might be an ethically acceptable alternative for obtaining embryonic stem cells, says a bioethicist. Legionary of Christ Father Thomas Berg, executive director of the Westchester Institute, a Catholic ethics think tank located in suburban New York, sees hope for a process known as altered nuclear transfer. He gave an overview of the status of stem cell research in this interview with ZENIT.Q: What is the ethical problem with embryonic stem cell research? Father Berg: The problem is that the methods currently used to obtain these cells...


    NIH Selects Burnham Institute for Exploratory Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research; $3 Million Grant Will Support Pilot Projects, Core Facilities, Training
    The Burnham Institute will receive $3 M over the next three years from the National Institutes of Health ("NIH") to develop an "Exploratory Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research". The grant provides funds to support research that will advance understanding of the fundamental biology of human embryonic stem cells ("hESCs"), as well as facilities for supporting the work and training of other investigators in the basic methods of growing and using human stem cells.


    American Diabetes Association Urges Fast Senate Action on Stem Cell Research Legislation S. 471 Will Expand Embryonic Stem Cell Research; Help Advance Search for Better Treatment and a Cure for Diabetes
    The American Diabetes Association (the Association) today urged the U.S. Senate to take up and pass the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005" (S.471), legislation that would accelerate stem cell research by easing existing restrictions and supporting research that uses embryonic stem cells.

    Frist Supports Federal Funds for Embryonic Stem Cell Research
    The Media Cynic reports that Senator Bill Frist has decided to change his position on stem cell research and now plans to support federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Frist's position is now against President Bush's controversial and highly restrictive policy. President Bush has already threatened to veto a new stem cell bill which passed in the House that promises federal funding of stem cell research. So, it is a promising development that the Senate might pass a bill that allows federal dollars to be put towards this promising research and allows more embryonic stem cell lines to be used. Unfortunately, President Bush could veto the bill -- as he has already threatened to do. This news report contains the full text of Frist's statement.


     
    		 
     


  • Enough is Enough
    The largest issue in our country today is not being addressed by either Republicans or by Democrats. I love my children and I want to do my part to ensure they grow up in the best country in the world. Voters need to become informed about the irresponsible government spending explosion and vote these politicians out of office.

    Our current politicians are not acting responsibly. When George W. Bush took office four years ago the federal government was over 5.6 trillion dollars in debt. Today the federal government is over 7.4 trillion dollars in debt. The debt has grown 1.8 trillion doll ...
