The Federal Polytechnic Ede, Osun state, Nigeria is a technological institution engaged in education, research and training targeted at sustainable development of the nation. The institution was established as a tertiary educational institution for the provision of courses of instruction, training and research in areas of science, technology, management and other fields of applied learning relevant to the human resource needs of the nation.
The institution came into existence in February 1992 via Decree No. 33 of 25th July, 1979 as amended by Decree 5 of 1993. The function of the institution as specified in the decree are as follows:
1. To provide full-time or part-time courses of instruction and training in:
(a) Technology, Applied Science, Commerce and Management and
(b) Such other fields of applied learning relevant to the need of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the areas of industrial and agricultural production, distribution and for research in the development and adoption of techniques as the academic Board and the Council may from time to time determine.
2. To arrange Conferences, Seminars and Study Group relative to the field of learning specified in paragraph one above.
3. To perform such other functions as in the opinion of the Council which may serve to promote the objectives of the Polytechnic.
The Polytechnic took over the old Baptist Teachers College from the National Youth Service Corps (N.Y.S.C.) which served as the Orientation Camp for Corps members. This was achieved with the cooperation of Ede Local Government and Osun State Ministry of Education.
The responsibility for establishing and planning the take-off of the Polytechnic was vested in the Task Force Committee constituted by the Federal Ministry of Education and headed by Engr. Musa Abdullahi.
In October 1992, interview for Senior Staff was conducted at the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) Office, Ibadan, by the Task Force. With the arrival of the Pioneer Rector, Chief Jimi Bamgbose from the United States of America, the Polytechnic took off properly in January, 1993 and this subsequently paved way for the admission of 847 Students (pioneer students) on 13th April, 1993. Since then, the Institution has grown from strength to strength.

Has Abstinence Education Failed?
- Wednesday, May 02, 2007
Abstinence classes have little effect, study finds - Seattle Times, 4/14
Abstinence programs fall short, study says - Minneapolis Star Tribune, 4/14
Study: Sex abstinence classes failed - Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/14
Study: Abstinence Classes Don't Stop Sex - ABC News, 4/14
Study Casts Doubt on Abstinence-Only Programs - Washington Post, 4/14
William Smith, vice president for public policy at the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), a leading proponent of comprehensive "safe-sex" education, said "This report should serve as the final verdict on the failure of the abstinence-only industry in this country, It shows, once again, that these programs fail miserably in actually helping young people behave more responsibly when it comes to their sexuality."
The report, which was released by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and conducted by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. appears, on the surface, to live up to the headlines. The study sought to determine the impact of abstinence education programs. Key findings include:
Youth in the program group (abstinence classes) were no more likely than control group youth to have abstained from sex and, among those who reported having had sex; they had similar numbers of sexual partners and had initiated sex at the same mean age.
This sounds rather damning to abstinence education. However, here are the problems with concluding that "abstinence education has failed." First, this study only examined four programs out of more than 900 currently in place. Furthermore, of the four programs observed in the study; one was voluntary and took place after school. Also, the Mathematica study targeted children who were in abstinence programs from ages 9-11 and those children were not evaluated until four to six years later. The fact is, the targeted children were too young to absorb the abstinence message, and there was no continuation of abstinence education into the High School years when adolescents are most likely to engage in sexual activity. Lastly, the study authors themselves stated that "Some policymakers and health educators have questioned whether the Title V, Section 510 program's focus on abstinence elevates STD risks. Findings from this study suggest that this is not the case, as program group youth are no more likely to engage in unprotected sex than their control group counterparts."
The bottom line: this study hardly serves to condemn abstinence education and support a return to "comprehensive" sex education in the public schools. A recent HHS-sponsored conference in Baltimore presented evidence from more than two dozen other studies that abstinence programs are producing positive outcomes for youth. There are now 15 evaluations documenting the effectiveness of abstinence education. (Of course, the media never reports on these.) Even the authors of the Mathematica study acknowledge that "Nationally, rates of teen sexual activity have declined over the past 15 years," since the advent of abstinence education beginning in the early 1990s. Studies through the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show the rate of teen pregnancy has dropped approximately 35% from 1990 to 2002. (Studies after 2002 demonstrate the decline of teen pregnancy has accelerated.) The Journal of Adolescent and Family Health published a study that concluded 66% of the decrease in teen pregnancy was due to teens choosing abstinence. The CDC commissioned a study which estimated 53% of the drop in teen pregnancy was due to teens choosing abstinence. Clearly the message of abstinence is having a positive impact on reducing teen sexual activity.
A significant finding of the Mathematica study, which has been ignored, is "that friends support for abstinence is a significant predictor of future sexual abstinence." Adding that, "promoting support for abstinence among peer networks should be an important feature of future abstinence programs… Maintaining this support appears difficult for most youth as they move through adolescence. At the time when most abstinence education programs are completed and youth enter their adolescent years, data from the study find that support for abstinence among friends drops dramatically." In essence, the study's authors confirm the positive impact of abstinence education and argue for its expansion into the High School years. Why? Because the best defense of sexual purity is found in a socially reinforced set of values. Teach sexual purity as a desirable value and establish this value as the consensus among youth and teen sexual activity will decrease. Abstinence education is the only educational program that relies on this approach.
Let me conclude by showing you exactly what it is that comprehensive sex education advocates oppose. The following are the federal government guidelines for abstinence education under Title V, section 510 programs:

Rated 5 out of 5Â by yoopergirl66 A touch of Spring There is still a fluff of snow hanging around, so I headed to the mall, as these shoes are perfect for shopping. No need to worry about walking through slush in the parking lot, as the foam upper cleans and dries quickly. They are so lightweight that you hardly know you have them on. The foam uppers retain their shape, breathe well, and stay looking new longer, than mesh shoes. The foot bed is supportive, with the textured bottoms lending stability. It's almost like being barefoot, but with the protection of foam wrapping your feet in comfort. After wearing boots all winter, these shoes feel like Spring Break for your feet! 12/17/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by watsonwhiz Name of product ideally suited! This shoe is different because it's so light that I forgot I was wearing it! I would most certainly recommend these to friends and family! 12/23/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Manda12 I Love These Shoes! These shoes are so comfortable! I have been wearing them everywhere. Walking, shopping, light yoga...pretty much all day long. They are so light, flexible and comfortable! The material feels really great and is breathable and washable! They do not rub anywhere on my feet and I really do forget that they are on. I love them! 12/20/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by AmaliaEverleigh Too cute for words! I first took notice of these shoes after seeing the campaign with Miranda Kerr. Naturally, I had to have them, and in the same color as she does in the commercial. These shoes are so very comfortable and really are adorable. I get compliments all the time, people even ask to feel them up! I definitely recommend these. They are so light, stylish, and the cutest! 3/10/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by dibley123 love this shoe sooo much i have waited 59 years for reebok to come out with a sneaker just like this one all pink it is my dream for years. I wish I could get a pair as a sample and I could tell you what I love and like , I wont ever hate this sneaker cause I know reebok and they have the best quality ever made, keep up the great work and thanks for my wish to come true for me, sincerely, Dibley123 . 1/7/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by moushka Gorgeous, Lightweight and Comfortable! These shoes are amazing! I got the Electro Pink/Chalk and they are gorgeous!! They are so lightweight that they feel like you are wearing slippers, yet they are durable. They are very comfortable from the moment you slip them on, until you are done walking all day in them. Well worth the money! 5/31/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mybella Stylish, versatile, and functional! This shoe has become such a prize! It's super light and still feels great with each step. It really is a great runaround shoe. I wear it on the go with running shorts or boyfriend jeans, but don't stop there! Because of the sheen in the material I've worn it with dresses with/without leggings. It's the perfect shoe to get you that runway look seen at Fashion Week. To top it off, the shoe is washable. I've only had to wipe it down since I've had them. Overall, this shoe is simply amazing. 3/10/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by drumdancerun feels like a slipper These are great for wearing around the house and between classes. Most of my dance (and track) shoes are mesh and it's COLD! I'd rather save the dance shoes for the studio anyway. A little narrower in the toe than what I'm used to with reebok but the upper conforms to your foot so they were comfortable. Two lace colors. 12/21/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KatieFFA Super comfy and extra cute! The Skyscrape shoe is my new go-to shoe for all types of outfits! The shoe runs lightly narrow, which is perfect for my little foot! I selected "met expectations" for durability, since I've had the shoes less than a month. Overall, I LOVE this shoe. Ohh, I should note - I wear them only withOUT socks - I thought they felt weird with socks. 4/10/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ericka81 Love these shoes! I was extremely impressed with the Skyscape. They were so lightweight and comfortable. I've been wearing them to run errands and any time I need to pop out of the house. They are almost like slippers, a major plus for me. I also love my pink color! 1/3/14

3 oil drillers to buy now
President Obama is looking to expand drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Good news for oil drillers.
President Obama announced plans to increase drilling in the Gulf of Mexico further denting arguments that the President is a left wing Socialist with designs of government take-over of the economy.
This administration is proving to be dead center and if anything is leaning to the right.
First to benefit were the large banks and financial institutions of Wall Street like Citigroup (C) and Goldman Sachs (GS) with a massive government bailout funded by taxpayers.
Next in line are the health care companies and pharmaceutical companies like United Health Group (UNH) and WellPoint (WLP) that will benefit greatly from the recently passed health care legislation.
Now it is time for the oil companies to step up to the feed trough.
Shut out of Russian and Middle East oil rich territory the domestic oil industry was in need of a victory with respect to more drilling. It looks like the President will oblige.
Reducing our dependence on foreign sources will help provide further stability to the U.S. economy not to mention increasing the profits of American companies.
Critics will say that more drilling further delays a move to alternative energy while harming the environment, but notice that the announcement by the administration eliminates plans to drill in Alaska's Bristol Bay.
The President is balancing many issues at play here that will be important in the overall future of our economy.
As for the more drilling opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico the move will boost profits for an industry with few new options and oil prices stuck in the $80 range.
Here are three companies that will benefit from the move:
Transocean Ltd. (RIG)
Transocean (RIG) was one of my Top Stocks to buy in 2009 and the company did not disappoint. With oil prices at that time below $50 per barrel, the stock was a bargain. Sure enough after a rough start to the year the economy did indeed find its footing and then some. Oil prices shot higher and so to did shares of RIG. This year the story is a bit different.
Oil prices have been in a tighter range for much of the year and RIG has only moved up slightly since the start of the year. With the ability to drill more in the Gulf of Mexico the company does not need higher prices to make more money. Shares trade for 9 times trailing earnings and 8 times forward earnings. That's cheap given the favorable operating environment for the next year or two.
Schlumberger Limited (SLB)
Schlumberger Limited (SLB) is a $75 billion market capitalization oil conglomerate with operations around the globe. The benefits of more drilling in the Gulf of Mexico will be smaller on SLB than other companies because of its sheer size. No matter. Any opportunity to make more money will be gladly accepted by company management and its shareholders.
The estimate is for SLB to make $2.87 this year and $3.81 in 2011. Those numbers will be slightly higher if activity increases from this plan as expected. You can buy 30% growth for 16 times 2011 estimated earnings. Not a bad price.
Nabors Industries (NBR)
Nabors Industries (NBR) operates 40 offshore platform rigs, 13 jack-up units and 3 barge rigs for drilling under the sea. Clearly more opportunity to drill will benefit the company. Shares of NBR are only up slightly in 2010 as oil prices stayed fairly constant.
The company is expected to make $1.11 in 2010 and $1.71 in 2011. That growth will accelerate with the plan for more drilling in the Gulf not to mention the stronger economy. You can own shares for a little more than 11 times 2011 earnings. This is an even more attractive opportunity than BJS given the valuation.
The President is taking a measured approach with respect to drilling. As such it is likely that more pronouncements like this will be coming down the road. Like the banks and health care companies, oil companies will stand to benefit.

As EPA hosted its second annual National Bed Bug Summit in Washington, D.C. this week, evidence continues to mount that bed bugs are increasingly immune to the pesticides being used to control them.
Bed bugs are providing a textbook example of how pests become resistant to pesticides. According to researchers at Ohio State University, when pesticides are applied to bed bug colonies, inevitably a small population survives and develops resistance to the chemical used. As these survivors reproduce, they pass on that resistance to their offspring, creating new generations of pesticide-resistant bed bugs.
At the annual World Economic Forum this past weekend in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Director Rajiv Shah stood beside CEOs from Monsanto and other infamous giant corporations, and announced U.S. support for a "New Vision for Agriculture."
Yes, you should be worried.
Endosulfan is in the news in India again, with new evidence of the insecticide's impact on children and bees.
On January 23, a report covered in The Hindu found that endosulfan is linked to declining honeybee populations in Idukki and Kasaragod districts in India. Scientists observed that the day following an endosulfan spray, local honeybees showed symptoms of poisoning and died. Corresponding declines in fruit yields were also reported where endosulfan had been sprayed, possibly reflecting the loss of the pollinators.
Taxpayers care how federal money is spent on agriculture. We want the government to spend more to help farmers conserve natural resources, produce safe food and develop their communities — and less on direct commodity payments and price supports. This according to a study out of Oklahoma State University just released by the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC).
On January 27, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack announced the USDA's decision to de-regulate Monsanto's genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa, allowing it to be grown anywhere and placing both organic and conventional farmers at risk. "We in the farm sector are dissatisfied but not surprised at the lack of courage from USDA to stop Roundup Ready alfalfa and defend family farmers," said Pat Trask, a conventional alfalfa grower and plaintiff in litigation to prevent planting of GE alfalfa.
Britain's Chief Scientist has come out trumpeting the need for genetically engineered (GE) crops to feed the world, and the UK media is falling all over itself with blaring headlines that echo this badly misinformed sentiment (see Guardian, Telegraph coverage).
The source of all the hullabaloo is the UK's release this week of its mammoth Foresight report, Global Food and Farming Futures. Using the occasion to espouse what seems to be his personal opinion, Sir John Beddington —the Chief Scientist in question — argues that "It is very hard to see how it would be remotely sensible to justify not using new technologies such as GM. Just look at the problems that the world faces: water shortages and salination of existing water supplies, for example. GM crops should be able to deal with that." "Should?" Is that the best you can do, Sir John?
Today Jefferson Keel, President of the National Congress of American Indians, called for the initiation of a new era of U.S.-tribal relations as he delivered the annual State of Indian Nations address. As he addressed tribal and U.S. government leaders in Washington, D.C., Keel noted the significance of the Obama Administration's December 16, 2010 announcement that the U.S. is "lending its support" to the The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. What's important now is implementation.
Imagine if a persistent, toxic chemical was being added to all sorts of products you use everyday: soap, toothpaste, cosmetics, shaving cream, even toys and underwear. Imagine being told that it was put there to keep you safe from disease, when in reality it could end up making you sicker by contributing to antibiotic resistance. Imagine your food was being grown in fertilizer contaminated with this chemical, and that government tests found it in 75% of Americans. Finally, imagine you had an opportunity to do something about it.
Last week the UK-based Independent reported that the clothianidin controversy has sparked a proposal to suspend the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in the UK. This story, which first broke in early December thanks to efforts by PAN, Beyond Pesticides and beekeeper Tom Theobald, has led to grave concerns in the British House of Commons.
Two studies came out in the last couple of weeks that really illustrate the problems associated with "PBT" chemicals: those which are simultaneously persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic. Persistent substances resist degradation — you can move them around but it's really hard to get rid of them. Bioaccumulation happens when chemicals in food, water, and air end up getting stored in the body of a living thing. Thus, for a bass living in a mercury polluted lake, the mercury levels in the fish may be thousands of times higher than the levels in the water. A cow grazing on PCB-laced feed will store the chemical in her body and excrete it in her milk, and humans too act as sinks for all kinds of chemicals.

Romney revealed | Stephen M. Walt
Right on cue with my concerns about Romney's screw ups lately.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Like all of us, politicians sometimes utter ill-chosen phrases or get surprised by an unexpected question. But given how much uninterrupted time he has had to get ready for this election, the frequency of Romney's gaffes is revealing. They don't just expose the ignorance of a man who's spent his entire adult life protected in the bubble wrap of wealth, privilege, and intellectual conformity. What they reveal is either 1) enormous and inexplicable ignorance, 2) a smug and cynical willingness to say whatever he thinks each audience wants to hear, or 3) the iron grip of a world-view that is impervious to evidence. — Stephen M. Walt
Romney Criticized for Handling of Libya Protests, Death - Bloomberg
The attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya became a flashpoint in the American presidential race, as Republican nominee Mitt Romney drew criticism from Democrats and Republicans for chastising President Barack Obama and his administration on their response.
The Republican presidential nominee told reporters at a Jacksonville, Florida, news conference today that Obama's administration set a "terrible course" when the U.S. embassy in Cairo issued a statement Romney called "akin to apology" to Egyptian protesters before the death of U.S. envoy to Libya J. Christopher Stevens. 7
Those comments came after Romney said in a statement issued late last night that the Obama administration's "first response" had been to "sympathize with those who waged the attacks," calling it "disgraceful."
Romney's reaction referred to a statement by the U.S. embassy in Cairo that was intended to ease tensions over an anti-Muslim film and was released hours before attacks erupted in Egypt and in Libya. The Republican's response sparked rebukes from Democrats and critical comments from members of his own party. — Bloomberg
- - - - - - - - - - - -
In my latest macro outlook, I stated my belief of the high likelihood that Romney would win the presidency (due to a faltering economy). However, he's been doing his best to not win by a potentially serious blunder at a very inopportune time.
Republican speakers toe economic hard line - MarketWatch
TAMPA, Fla. (MarketWatch) — Republican Party A-listers on Tuesday night sought to frame November's election as a choice about the size and scope of government as they introduced Mitt Romney to a national audience.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a GOP hero for taking on labor unions and then beating back a recall effort in June, told assembled delegates and a national TV audience that Romney understands that "people, not government, create jobs." It was a direct slap at Barack Obama, whose policies Republicans say are to blame for unemployment above 8%. — Marketwatch

Obama Advisers Revising Economic Outlook for Greater Job Growth - Bloomberg
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As I covered in my latest macro outlook, as long as the economy is improving, this is Obama's election to lose.
The president's political fate lies in which direction the economy takes. So far so good.
Gingrich Erases Romney's National Lead
(RCS): This is unexpected and runs counter to my belief that Romney is a shoe-in as the Republican nominee for the presidential election. Upsets in the South Carolina and Iowa primaries to Gingrich and Santorum respectably have blown the race wide open.
What a difference a week makes!

Title inspired by the song that inspired this: http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=KbJanCYONrk
Originally the inspiration from the song was something along these lines. But with a car and clothing. Before I even got to that though I had already spent two hours on each face and liked it too much to draw anything else lol. Oh well.
Either way, I think it turned out perfect.
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 27, 2012
This is a great picture. It portrays love and happiness in a way that is soft but also very potent in its own way. I applaud you in your ability to transpose your imagination into enjoyable art.
I look forward to seeing more of your work in the near future.
Great job!

Adam consoled her. Alberto tried to ease her pain. "This isn't your event," Salazar told her. "You're not suited to run this."
Then Treasure gave it to her straight. "Look," he told Goucher when they were alone. "I know you quit."
With the tough love out of the way, Treasure and Salazar scrambled to salvage Goucher's Olympics. She was emotionally devastated. And she had a 5000-meter semi in just four days.
"In that situation, we had to take into account that Kara's a very smart woman," Treasure tells me. "If she wasn't in condition to run a very fast 10-K, she knows that dropping down to a 5-K wasn't exactly going to be easy."
"We all got caught up with the whole concept of medaling," he adds, "and got away from the process that had gotten Kara a medal in Osaka. That was my mistake. If we had our time over again, we'd do things a lot differently."
So Treasure and Salazar helped Goucher focus on the most basic psychological reason for running: personal satisfaction. "What are you going to get out of the 5-K semi and the final?" Treasure asked her.
She came up with a new goal for the 5000 semi: Prove to yourself that you deserve to be here. That you want to be here. That you'll do what it takes to make the final.
The semi went off slow. It was more rugby scrum than footrace. Pushing, shoving, elbows thrown. Goucher gave as good as she got. She made the final and placed ninth. It was only one better than her 10,000-meter showing, but she knew the difference. So did Salazar and Treasure. She ran all out. She enjoyed the race. She enjoyed running.
BY THE TIME THEIR FLIGHT from Beijing touched down in the States, Goucher and her coaches had come to two conclusions. One: They would learn from their mistakes. They vowed that Kara would leave the London Olympics in 2012 with completely different memories. Two: Officials at the New York Road Runners Club were expecting Goucher to compete in the ING New York City Marathon in less than eight weeks. Reporters were prepping stories that would promote a showdown with Paula Radcliffe, the world record holder and reigning New York City champion.
There was only one problem. Goucher had never run 26.2 miles in her life.
Salazar immediately began pushing Goucher to her physical limits, piling up weekly miles like grain in a silo. Meanwhile, Treasure worked to rebuild the foundation of a collapsed psyche. "Alberto was running her really, really hard," Treasure says. "Physically, she was hanging on by a thread. And mentally she didn't know if she could complete all 26 miles."
The surprise was this: Goucher loved it. "I loved asking so much of myself," she says. "I loved spending time with Alberto, who'd bike with me on all my long runs. No one else in the [Oregon Project] was running the marathon at the time, and I loved that this was something that was all mine."
Treasure pounded home the proof in performance. She was running 120 miles a week. That's almost five marathons in seven days. Don't just believe you can do it, he told her. Look at yourself: You're already doing it.
During the week leading up to New York, media requests kept Goucher hopping all over the city. A posse of relatives—mom, two sisters, brother-in-law, aunt, and niece— flew in to watch her debut. Through it all, she struggled to keep negative self-talk from overrunning the ramparts. The outside world saw a radiant, confident young athlete. Back at the hotel, she'd fall into an overstuffed chair and tell Treasure, "I don't even know if I'm going to finish."
Mind Gains
Kara Goucher always had huge talent, but she also had crises of confidence that sabotaged her big races. Goucher's admissions about her psychological struggles are rare for an elite athlete, but they will ring true to all of us.
Adam consoled her. Alberto tried to ease her pain. "This isn't your event," Salazar told her. "You're not suited to run this."

text: content April 24, 2009 Poor diet quality predicts all cause mortality in men over a 7 year period In the April, 2009 issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Swedish researchers report that men who consumed a relatively high amount of unhealthy foods and failed to consume enough beneficial foods had a greater risk of dying of all causes over a 7.7 year average period compared with those whose diets were healthier. Alicja Wolk and colleagues at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm analyzed data from 40,837 participants in the Cohort of Swedish Men, who were free of cancer upon enrollment between 1997 and 1998. Responses to dietary questionnaires completed upon enrollment were scored on the intake of 36 recommended food items, including 13 vegetables, 6 fruits, 7 cereal products, 5 types of fish and seafood, 3 low-fat dairy products, nuts, and olive oil, and 16 non-recommended food items, which included 3 red meat products, 5 processed meat products, 3 high fat dairy products, white bread, sweets, fried potatoes, mayonnaise, and ice cream. Between 1998 and 2005, 4,501 deaths were documented, including 1,394 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 759 deaths from cancer that occurred between 1998 and 2003. Men with a high recommended food score, who consumed 28 or more recommended foods at least 1 to 3 times per month, had a 19 percent lower rate of dying from any cause over follow-up, and a 29 percent lower rate of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to men who scored low in recommended foods. When non-recommended food scores were analyzed, those with high scores, who reported consuming 5 or more items 3 times per week or more, had a 21 percent greater risk of all-cause mortality and a 27 percent greater risk of cardiovascular disease mortality compared to men with low non-recommended food scores, who consumed 1 to 2 of these foods. In contrast with the results of other studies, diet scores did not appear to be related to the risk of dying from cancer. The authors write that the shorter duration of the current analysis could be insufficient for the development of some types of cancer, and that, due to the nonhomogenous nature of the disease, diet-related mechanisms appear to vary between different types of cancer. According to the study's authors, the current findings indicate that not only frequency but diversity of healthy foods are important to wellness. Reducing the frequency of the consumption of non-recommended foods is also important. Coronary artery disease The treatment of atherosclerosis depends on the stage of the disease. Severe disease, in which an artery has significant blockage or unstable plaque deposits, may require intensive care. In most cases, however, less severe disease is treated with a combination of lifestyle changes (including dietary changes) and medication. The following dietary and lifestyle changes have been shown to slow, or even reverse, the effects of atherosclerosis: Reduce dietary saturated fats, cholesterol, and trans-fatty acids. Increase intake of fiber to at least 10 g daily. Consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Ensure adequate intake of folic acid (400 to 1000 mcg daily) to reduce homocysteine levels. For obese people, lower weight and increase physical activity to reduce the risk factors for metabolic syndrome and to help control blood pressure and reduce cardiac workload. For people with hypertension, limit sodium intake and maintain adequate intake of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Stop smoking. This is essential. The so-called French paradox is the phenomenon of low rates of heart disease in a country known for its high intake of fatty foods. Recent research suggests that one of the reasons French people are protected from heart disease is a high intake of quercetin, a potent antioxidant and polyphenol found in red wine (Kuhlman CR et al 2005). Numerous studies have examined quercetin and found it to be both a powerful antioxidant and a stimulator of nitric oxide, which inhibits endothelial proliferation, a hallmark of atherosclerosis (Kuhlman CR et al 2005). Studies have shown the following: In spontaneously hypertensive rats, quercetin, along with other bioflavonoids, preserved endothelial function by increasing nitric oxide and reducing blood pressure (Machha A et al 2005). A porcine study showed that quercetin has potent antioxidative properties and protects endothelial cells against induced dysfunction (Reiterer G et al 2004). Annual Blood Test Super Sale on now!

Fortunately SODzyme® with GliSODin® & Wolfberry combines three advanced SOD catalysts to replenish the body's supply of SOD, vastly enhancing its natural antioxidant defenses. The suggested daily dose of three capsules provides 2000 mg of SODzyme®, a proprietary plant-based extract. In a study of 12 middle-aged volunteers of both sexes who took 2000 mg SODzyme® daily for two weeks, SODzyme® boosted serum SOD levels by 30% on average, and reduced toxic hydrogen peroxide by 47%.

The Kansas state House and Senate have voted in favor of a measure that would criminalize possession of a product called K2 or Spice, which some have characterized as a form of synthetic marijuana.
The Kansas City Star reported Jan. 21 that the measure, passed 36-1 in the Senate, would make Kansas the first state to ban K2 and similar products. The Star reported on Feb. 2 that the state House also voted to approve a K2 ban, and was working to reconcile the two versions of the bill in order to send it to the governor for approval.
Lawmakers said they wanted to ban the product before it had a chance to grow in popularity.

The corn-fed, solid people of Nebraska may be friendly, but they mean business. And in a state that takes businesses as seriously as Nebraska, you can expect the licenses and permits to be relatively few and straightforward. Nebraska keeps things simple -- clear forms and processes. Less regulation than most West-Coast or Northeastern states. Plain licensing for plains people.
In Nebraska, alcohol Wholesalers offer alcohol products to retailers. This can include pourable beverages such as kegs to resale items such as six packs. Beverages can include beer, wine, spirits and malt liquor. Usually, alcohol wholesalers get their licenses and permits from their states, but in some cases must also have local licenses as well.
