Anti-bullying. Using the stunning back drop of The Devils Punchbowl, Hindhead, Surrey, a group of 30 children from seven different Independent and State Schools worked collaboratively to produce a highly emotional performance of Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful' song. The brainchild of Amesbury School's Head of Performing Arts, Mark Reynolds, the film was designed to emphasise the importance of standing together, as a community, against bullying. For this reason, a wide selection of schools were involved. Sadly, bullying isn't isolated just in school life. It can happen anywhere and to anyone. The children involved in making the film have been chosen for one very important reason only – they are all exceptionally kind and caring people who are proud to make a stance again bullying. Please click here to watch this incredible video.

The Education for Social Responsibility Curriculum (ESR).
This website (Plan Bee) has developed an entire primary curriculum for Education for Social Responsibility (ESR). Comprising three short schemes of work per Key Stage/Phase (KS1, Lower KS2, Upper KS2), the curriculum covers seven strands of learning:
- Ethical Trading
- Fulfilled Lives
- Ecosystems
- Climate Change
- Water Scarcity
- Biodiversity
- Finite Planet
Each strand is revisited once per phase, ensuring children revisit themes and build upon their prior learning throughout their time in primary. The short, three-lesson schemes of work are ideal to fit into already busy school timetables, too.
The themes are explored in an age-appropriate fashion, ensuring not only that children can develop a realistic understanding of both the problems they and others inheriting the planet face, but develop a clear idea of what they can do about it. Click here.
Teachit started off as a tray in the corner of a staff-room (to allow teachers to share their resources with each other) and has grown into a thriving community of teachers contributing resources, discussing ideas and finding inspiration. Go to www.teachit.co.uk and look for 'primary'.

Your legs are gifted with the strongest and largest muscles in your body. It's not only essential to get your legs in shape for the performance and strength only, but getting strong legs will also prevent injuries and will make your daily life easier.
One of the most questions that people ask their fitness trainer is how long does it take to gain leg muscles? Well, once your start with less exercise routine, you will be likely to see the initial results within three to four weeks. However, a lot depends on your initial fitness level.
Based on your starting performance, it can take more than three to four months to achieve your fitness goals for gaining leg muscles.
In this article, we will discuss the plan of action for getting stronger leg muscles
Training Plan
Table of Contents
Consistency is the key for a desirable result. The consistent emphasis on leg exercises and gradual increase in leg training program will get you one step closer to give your legs well-defined shape. You should focus on increasing muscles in hamstrings, glutes, calves and quadriceps.
These areas are responsible for gaining muscles in your leg area. One of the most efficient training methods is known as progressive resistance plan. In this training method, there is a gradual increase in the intensity of the training for three months.
To start with, complete at least two leg strengthening exercise practices each week.
While the first workout will concentrate on the hamstrings and glutes, the second session will work on calves and quadriceps. Give yourself break of three days between your leg workouts, such as you can do glutes and hamstrings on Monday and then focus on calves and quadriceps on Thursday.
Perform other exercises such as arm workout, aerobic exercises or cardio to fat loss. This will you will be able to balance the strength and give your leg muscles some time to gain strength.
Train your hamstrings and glutes with the exercises like weighted bridge, deadlift on straight legs, leg curl, cable hip standing extension and straight or sideways walking lunges. Train your calves and quadriceps with the leg press, barbell squat, leg extension, bench step up, standing and sitting calf raises.
You can include moderate cardio or aerobic exercises like incline walking, joggings, swimming, cycling and elliptical machine in your regular workout to burn extra fat.
First Month: Conditioning
During the first month, you should focus on improving muscle endurance and conditioning. Start with 12 -15 repetitions of every exercise and complete two sets of these exercises in initial two weeks. Then start with three sets of each exercise with the same number of repetitions for next two weeks. Limit your rest periods between each set from 30 – 60 seconds.
Try to do 30 minutes of cardio for four to five days in a week. You can do cardio or aerobic either after the leg workouts or the days you are not doing the legs training.
Second Month: Hypertrophy
After the first month, you should focus on increase the muscles by adding more weight and decreasing the number of repetitions for every exercise. Select a specific weight at which your muscle failure happens between 6 and 12 repetitions. Complete three sets with 60-90 seconds between the sets.
Add more weight if you are able to finish 12 or more repetitions. If you cannot complete even 6 repetitions, lower the weight. Increase your aerobic and cardio exercises for 40-45 minutes for four to five times in a week.
Third Month: Power and Strength
During the last month of your training program, improve your strength and muscle power. Add more weight again and complete 3 to 6 repetitions of every exercise. Do 3 to 4 sets and take two to four minutes of rest between each set. Continue with your five days aerobic exercises except replace two sessions of moderate intensity sessions with two interval training.
Add 20 minutes of high intensity sprint with the intervals for 30-60 seconds and the followed by 60 seconds recovery interval where you can catch little breath.
Your can see your leg muscles changing almost right after initial strength training period, but you will not see immediate changes for almost a month. The process of protein synthesis which helps in growing stronger and bigger muscles occur within 2 to 4 hours after the workout.
After 5 to 7 weeks of regular leg strength training, the process will start showing the changes in the body given the fact that you create correct muscle building environment.

Exome Sequencing of SLC30A2 Identifies Novel Loss- and Gain-of-Function Variants Associated with Breast Cell Dysfunction
- 612 Downloads
- Citations
The zinc (Zn) transporter ZnT2 (SLC30A2) is expressed in specialized secretory cells including breast, pancreas and prostate, and imports Zn into mitochondria and vesicles. Mutations in SLC30A2 substantially reduce milk Zn concentration ([Zn]) and cause severe Zn deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants. Recent studies show that ZnT2-null mice have low milk [Zn], in addition to profound defects in mammary gland function during lactation. Here, we used breast milk [Zn] to identify novel non-synonymous ZnT2 variants in a population of lactating women. We also asked whether specific variants induce disturbances in intracellular Zn management or cause cellular dysfunction in mammary epithelial cells. Healthy, breastfeeding women were stratified into quartiles by milk [Zn] and exonic sequencing of SLC30A2 was performed. We found that 36 % of women tested carried non-synonymous ZnT2 variants, all of whom had milk Zn levels that were distinctly above or below those in women without variants. We identified 12 novel heterozygous variants. Two variants (D103E and T288S) were identified with high frequency (9 and 16 %, respectively) and expression of T288S was associated with a known hallmark of breast dysfunction (elevated milk sodium/potassium ratio). Select variants (A28D, K66N, Q71H, D103E, A105P, Q137H, T288S and T312K) were characterized in vitro. Compared with wild-type ZnT2, these variants were inappropriately localized, and most resulted in either 'loss-of-function' or 'gain-of-function', and altered sub-cellular Zn pools, Zn secretion, and cell cycle check-points. Our study indicates that SLC30A2 variants are common in this population, dysregulate Zn management and can lead to breast cell dysfunction. This suggests that genetic variation in ZnT2 could be an important modifier of infant growth/development and reproductive health/disease. Importantly, milk [Zn] level may serve as a bio-reporter of breast function during lactation.

University of Leeds
Location of university
Please comment on the location of your university (city, town, etc), the campus, the facilities, and student accommodation.
"It's a campus university so it's easy to get around. However, it's right by the city centre so it's not entirely in a student bubble. Most accommodation is within walking distance of the university and city centre."
"The location is excellent and the campus and facilities are good. Student residences can be rather basic in the first year though and renting with agencies later can often come with problems."
"The university is in a great location, situated right by the city and Hyde Park. It's only a 15-minute walk into the city."
"The university and its facilities are in a prime city centre location. However, my halls of residence are a 40-minute walk from campus, which is an inconvenience. Many believe a bus pass should be included in the rent."
"The university is very central and beautiful (when not covered in scaffolding) and accommodation is, for the most part, nice but expensive. The city itself is my favourite part of the experience as it has such a variety of culture."
"The campus is on the outskirts of the city centre so it's only about a 10-minute walk into town. All the facilities are on campus and the gym and libraries are all really good. There is a wide range of student accommodation that can suit everyone's price ranges and preferences."
"The university itself is situated in a good area close to the city centre, which makes going into town very handy. I also like the proximity of the student housing area to the campus. The campus itself has a lot of good facilities but I'd like it if more of them were more accessible to everyone, particularly in terms of cost."
"The college location is near to the city centre. However, a lot self-catered accommodations are located in the countryside and that can be inconvenient."
"The university student accommodation is highly priced but of an excellent standard (I do think there should be cheaper accommodation available). Facilities on campus are excellent and Leeds is a brilliant city with plenty to do and is very accommodating for students."
"It's a campus uni that touches the city centre. It has incredible facilities and a great student union that's used by all students. There are good and new libraries as well as an amazing new gym complex. The accommodation varies but my halls were like a hotel."

General Dynamics and Leidos have won positions on a potential five-year, $200 million contract to perform technical services for the Army's geospatial technology systems.
Five bids were submitted for the Geographic Research, Integration, Development and Support contract also known as GRIDS III. The Defense Department said Monday the contract covers non-commercial technical services to help coordinate, integrate and synchronize geospatial information requirements and standards across the Army.
Leidos keeps its work as the incumbent on the predecessor $200 million GRIDS II contract awarded in 2012 and General Dynamics is a newcomer, according to Deltek data.
Awardees will also develop geospatial enterprise-enabled systems for the Army and other Defense Department and non-DOD entities, plus provide direct geospatial support to warfighters.

APPLY NOW TO OUR MD, PhD, AND MD-PhD 2019 INTAKE | DEADLINE FOR MD AND MD-PhD EXTENDED TO 31ST JANUARY 2019
In 2006, Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka and colleagues discovered that mature cells can be reprogrammed and reverted to a stem-cell-like state. Known as induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs), these cells have the ability to develop into any cell type. This discovery was stunning enough that Yamanaka was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his revolutionary work on reprogramming adult cells, and spurred thousands of related publications.
The field of reprogramming has generated a lot of excitement in recent years because iPSCs are a revolution in regenerative medicine, which seeks to replace tissue or organs damaged by disease, trauma, or congenital issues. In addition, reprogramming presents the possibility that we could generate patient-specific cell-types to model disease or use as a cell therapy. However, in order to be able to utilise these cells to their fullest extent, it is important that we fully understand the reprogramming process. To do this we need to study the process starting from many different cell types, not only from a single source. To date, fibroblasts have most often been used as a source cell type for reprogramming simply because they are easy to acquire and manipulate. In other words, fibroblasts was chosen for convenience rather than because of an important biological role in reprogramming. As such, much of what we know about this process is derived from work on fibroblasts and we assume that what we have learned from this conversion also holds true for other cell types.
Duke-NUS Assistant Professor Owen Rackham and his team in collaboration with Prof Jose Polo from Monash University in Australia found that this assumption was not true: The reprogramming process varies greatly depending on which cell type you start with. They studied three different cell types: a fibroblast, a neutrophil and a keratinocyte, and found that the process varies greatly both in terms of the time required and the order in which important events in the reprogramming occur.
Their study was recently published in Cell Reports. They also showed that the normal measure that a reprogramming experiment is complete (i.e. measuring Oct4 expression) is not valid for all cell types. Their results will help other scientists to get a better understanding of the biology of reprogramming, a critical step to developing safe and effective regenerative medicines.
This is the first study of its kind. Prior to this, very little work has been done to understand the effect of the starting cell type on reprogramming, and almost all prior research was from studying conversions using fibroblasts.

A film told backwards: Memento
In a story told backwards, a man (Guy Pearce) suffering from the inability to retain new memories doggedly tracks down his wife's murderer. Jumping and winding for 112 minutes, it is a film which somehow manages to keep you off balance and on your toes.
A deliberately short summary; watch the film before reading any reviews (they might give the game away).

Securus Technologies is a for profit phone and communications service that connect over 3,400 correctional institutions, law enforcement organizations, and safety groups. Well over 1.2 million inmates are connected to their families and loved ones through the system in a variety of ways including phone, email, text and video.
This program is an up-front, easy to use, convenient method of tying together families and inmates so that they can feel free to communicate with one another freely at times chosen by either party. Easy methods of payment are available in the form of a debit system where the inmate pays for the service, collect calls where the bill is paid by the recipient of the call, direct bill, where the family pays for the call and a prepaid billing system.
Recently, Securus was approved by the Better Business Bureau Accreditation which is designed to give a higher level of legitimacy to the process if inmates or family have any difficulty in working the Securus system.
Not all businesses are eligible for BBB Accreditation as a business has to meet the accreditation standards to even be considered. Once a business meets the standards, an application is submitted to the BBB and the application is either approved or denied. Once approved, consumers may contact the BBB if there are any complaints or remedies needed due to service complaints and similar issues.
It is then up to the BBB member to make any situations that have been causing an issue or problem be rectified to the satisfaction of the consumer. If appropriate action is not taken, then the business may lose its standing and membership in the BBB.
Securus is mindful of the great responsibility that it has in keeping the lines of communication open between inmates and families during a very difficult time in the lives of both parties.


text: Septemeber 10 2009 I got the call, it was a Thursday and I had just finished writing an exam. As I left the room with my exam in my hand my teacher came to me and told me that I needed to call my mother right away. She didn't tell me and thing els but I knew somthings was wrong. I called my moms cell phone, no answer. I called the house, no answer. I called my moms work and waited on hold fearing for what I was about to be told. When my mom answered the phone she tried to stay calm which really only freaked me out more. She said she had been contacted by a police officer and that dad had been in an accident they didn't have the full details all they knew was that the night before he had been in a motor cycle accident in nanaimo (where he lived, an hour away from us) and that he had been air lifted to vancouver and is In critical condition. My mother also told me that I was his next of kin since I was 19, he wasn't married and all his family was in ontario (across the country). She told me when she got off in a few hours we would go to vancouver to see him. Waiting to see him was so hard. Not knowing how bad it was or if he would be ok. I choose to think that everything would be fine and he would pull through. One of the things I will never forget about this tragic event is the smell of the hospital.. it smelled so strongly of cleaners and hand sanitizers. Hannah was in the hospital a block up and it did not smell like this hospital. When we walked in the door I would find my self trying to breath through my mouth to avoid this intense smell. Dads bed was right infront of the nirsing station. He laid asleep in the hospital bed with bruses all over hos body, a breathing tube in his mouth, his leg had a cast on it and his stomach had this odd black tar stuff on it. The doctos told me that he had suffered severe internal bleeding mostly from his liver and that they had to remove a good portion of it. They informed me that the good thing Is, is that the liver does slowly grow back. They had him in a medically induced coma for the pain but that they expected he would be a wake in a few days. They explained black tar stuff on his stomach. When they had gone in to remove back of his liver they had left him open incase they had to go back in so the tar like stuff was protecting his insideds from infections. They had told us they would take him off the medication keeping him asleep sunday morning so he should wake up by Sunday after noon. We steped out for lunch and when we came back the nurse said he had opened his eyes for a quick minute. We were all so releaved.. dad was going to wake up. We stayed In Vancouver untill late sunday night, school was on monday. Sadly he had not opened his eyes again before we left. I called the hospital when we got home and they said they had to put him back on the medications because he wasnt doing well. The next week I called twice a day, once before school and once around dinner time. No changes. The hospital called me while I was at school. They needed my consent for surgery. They have found some bleeding in his stomach so they had to go in to find out how bad it was. I gave my concent, informed my mom that we needed to go back to vancouver tonight and then tried to finish the rest of the day of class. Couldn't finish the day.. minutes later it hit my that my dad probably wouldn't make it. When we got back to the hospital the surgery was done and the doctor needed to talk to us. He sat us down and explained that the surgery hadn't gone as planned. When they got in they lifted uo his stomach and found that his intestines had been severly damaged and extermly infected. For him to live he would have to have a colostomy bag and may eventually be able to have a artificial colon. So upset by this new information. I knew that if they dad were to pull out of this, this would not be the life he would want. But I kept hoping for a merical. Saturday September 26, early in the morning around 2am the hospital called and told me that I should come in. My dad was not doing well and he might not make it. I called my aunt in ontario to let her know this update, she was planning to fly here that monday. They ran some tests and my dad had develiped pneumonia. He pulled through the night and the next day we had another sit down with the doctor. They informed us with the recent findings (pneumonia, server infection, his liver), that it was there belief he wouldn't make it. They told me I had to choose to either let him go and removed his breathing suport and take him off the medications (expect for the pain meds) or to wait and let his body eventually fail on it own. I choose to wait another 24hours and if there was no improvement we would let him go peavefully. The next 24hours were tough. No improvement. We met with the doctors in the afternoon and agreed to let him go once my brother got there. When my brother got there it all felt so serial. This was the last time we would all be there as a family. The staff explained how this would go. "We will turn off the monitors and give him extra pain meds so he isnt in any pain. Then when you guys are ready to say good bye we will take out the breathing tube. He might gasp but it belong before he will stop breathing" Me and my brother sat on either sides of the bed holding his hands crying. I was thinking so many things.. all the things he wouldnt be there for; grand kids my wedding. I thought of all the sweet memories and all of the memories I had of him being crazy and how I'd miss them. While we held onto my dad he would make this werid noise when he would breath and all of a sudden he stopped doing it. I am possitive thats when he passed but we don't know because the moitor wasn't. My brother was finally ready to say goodbye, we all hugged in the corner of the room as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth. We rushed back over once they let us know it was out. I didn't hear any Gasps for air but I was sure that he had already left us before we were ready for him to go. The hardest thing was walking away. Knowing that this would be the last time you ever see your dad. The currents were pulled around the bed but you could still see him through a crack. That's the last I saw my dad, laying there on a hospital bed through currents. My aunt, uncle and cousin came the next day and it was nice to be around his family. I hadn't seen My uncle or cousin since I was a baby but you could sure tell they were Harris' s. Once everyone had left it was my job to; inform everyone of his passing, clean up his place, track down his vehicles and uninsure them. I'm so greatfull my mom was there to help me. Taking care of thoses things were easier to do when he was still in the hospital.Its been almost four years since he left us. Since then iv had friends and family who have come to me when there dad passed away wanting to know how I delt with it... I never really thought about it till recently.. I wouldn't say a car accident is by any means easier but it gave me almost two weeks to accept what was going to happen and it allowed me to say good bye to him. Iv never been the type of person that allows her self to cry a lot... so I let my self have a small amount of grieving time and then tried to stay positive. I did find my self in my room crying from time to time and every 27th for the next year I would be horrified that another month had gone by. But with time it has gotten easier. It still feels serial to think about how my dads not here or how he never will know his grand children.. my stomach still sinks every time I remeber he's gone.

Physician to Physician Discussions > "Board certification" programs in aesthetic med
"Board Certification" in Aesthetic Medicine
Sorry I'm new to this site and posted this thread earlier, but I think it was in the wrong section. I apologize in advance for the duplicate (and long) posting. Thanks for your responses.
I know there is no true board certification, as aesthetic medicine is not a recognized subspecialty by either ABMS or ABPS. However, patients do want some assurance that their physician is adequately trained in the procedures they are performing (Who among us hasn't been asked at least once by a patient "How many of these have you done?"), especially if that physician doesn't have a formal background training in Plastic Surgery or Dermatology.
There are several organizations offering some type of certification program related to aesthetic or anti-aging medicine, some of which even claim to confer "board certified" status upon completion. So I would like to ask this community what, if any, are your opinions on the following:
(Note: I've tried to include their websites and my own 2 cent thoughts on each, and NO, I did not include Empire or American medical training courses, because I think they have been discussed extensively elsewhere in this exchange forum and I can;t bear the thought of having to read through that mudslinging affair again!)
1. American Board of Aesthetic Medicine (ABAM) - http://www.abamedicine.com/
- claims to have a 3-step training/certification & written examination pathway leading to "board certification" (three separate 3-day training sessions and a one-day written exam)
- seems like just a private business operating out of Mystique Medical Spa in San Diego
2. American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine (AAAM) - http://www.aaamed.org/Courses_Cert.cfm
- A slightly different 3-step certification (3-day step 1 course, 5-day step 2 course, 4-6 months clinical practice, 2-hour written exam, case-based oral exam) leading to "board certification"
- website states "the only 100% non-commercial and comprehensive scientific programs allowing faculty to be objective and to share their knowledge and skills with the course participants, without industry bias."
3. American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (ABAARM, under A4M) - http://www.a4m.com/certifications-abaarm-overview.html
- Seems more comprehensive and academic, Includes aspects of Integrative, Preventive, and Functional medicine in addition to aesthetics.
- "Board certification" requires A4M membership, atteding at least 2 A4M conferences/workshops, 200 CME hours related to the field, a Part 1 written exam and Part 2 chart review and oral exam
4. American Board of Cosmetic and Aesthetic Medicine - http://www.aestheticcosmeticphysicians.org/
- Not a training program, but rather a certificate you receive after documenting sufficient education, training, experience, and CME in the field.
- Requires membership in American College of Aesthetic and Cosmetic Physicians
- per their website, a written exam is currently being planned
5. American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery ("Specialty Board of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery") - http://www.theaaams.com/SpecialtyBoard.asp
- (Ugh, I'm getting tired of reading all these sites)
- Website makes a rather interesting claim: "PENDING AWAITING FOR AMA RECOGNITION OF AESTHETIC MEDICINE & SURGERY AS A SELF-DESIGNATED MEDICAL SPECIALTY"
- requires CME, CV, LOR's, written exam, documentation of OR privileges(!), and of course, taking at least 2 of their courses
6. International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine - http://iapam.com/board-certification-in-aesthetic-medicine-lacking.html
- Does NOT offer board certification, just training programs -- in fact, they make a strong point about this on their website: "Ultimately, the IAPAM has developed the responsible guiding principal that it cannot offer "board certification" in aesthetic medicine until such certification is recognized along with the other 24 medical specialities currently acknowledged by the ABMS."
- Website states that "in anticipation of official board certification, the IAPAM offers the discipline's most comprehensive education and credentialing towards certification in Aesthetic Medicine for physicians entering or practicing in this burgeoning field"
Whew! I'm sure there are others, but this post is already too long. Hope to get some insightful comments / feedback.
Thanks in advance for your input!
I've never once been asked to produce any credentials of certification, and I have been doing this kind of work for 13 years (originally an internist). I think these things are meaningless, but whenever I do a course or go to a conference and get some sort of certificate, I frame it and put it up. Looks good, I suppose. What patients want is for you to project confidence and do good work. Do the training course only if you think you will gain important skills or knowledge, not simply for the worthless certificate. Just my opinion.

Food Safety Regulations Overhauled by Senate
November 30, 2010
One too many bad eggs for The Senate. Not the Senators themselves necessarily, but bad eggs getting through the US food-safety system. Oh, and unsafe poultry, bad peanut butter and spinach too. Recalls of tainted food that sickened thousands, finally led major food makers to join consumer advocates in demanding stronger governmental oversight.
And that's what led to Tuesday's 73-25 passing of sweeping overhaul that strengthens the Food and Drug Administration in hopes of cracking down on unsafe foods before they harm people rather than after outbreaks occur.
Read more in the The New York Times article.

Is Your Thanksgiving Turkey Safe?
November 19, 2010
Before you take a bite of that Thanksgiving turkey (or leftovers), you may want to read on and make sure you've cooked that holiday bird well!
Consumer Warning Network reported a few years ago that the 2008 Farm Bill loosened federal regulation of poultry inspections by allowing state inspection programs take the place of federal inspections. With Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners around the corner, how's that little bit of federal deregulation working out?
On November 14, the USDA announced the recall of 2600 pounds of cooked smoked turkey products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a deadly bacterial agent. The turkey products from New Braunfels Smokehouse in Texas had been inspected by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Consumers Union recently tested 382 whole chicken broilers bought at over 100 supermarkets nationwide, and tested them for salmonella and campylobacter, the two leading causes of food poisoning. Two-thirds of the raw chickens tested showed signs of one or both of these dangerous contaminants. A similar test back in 2003 had found such contaminants in half of the chickens examined. On the other hand, another test in 2007 had found a higher rate of contamination.
The cleanest products came from Perdue chickens, but the worst came from Tyson and Foster Farms. Interestingly, all of the store brand "organic chickens" involved in the testing were free of salmonella. Of course, all chickens are presumably "organic," but organic farmers usually follow more stringent standards in their smaller operations.
So, are we better off with less federal regulation? The jury is still out. Now that your local state inspector doesn't have as many pesky federal inspectors looking over his shoulder, it remains to be seen whether the level of safety will suffer. Is it acceptable that only one out of three poultry products can be considered safe?
The recent Texas recall points out the importance of food safety inspections and the need to guarantee that governmental regulations in this area not be shortchanged in the push for "less government."
With every three poultry purchases at your supermarket, two of them will probably have bacterial contamination. This is why it is so important to follow safe cooking rules whenever you roast that turkey stuffed with dressing.
UPDATE: Food Safety Regulations Overhauled by Senate
Bloated Cell Phone Bills

"Power Bands" – Improve Balance and Flexibility?
November 11, 2010
By Terry Smiljanich:
What will they think of next, these scientists? A simple rubber band with holograms on it, that improves your body's balance, health and flexibility just by wearing it. Too good to be true? Yes.
Power bands supposedly work through the interaction of the holograms on the band (3D-like pictures created by scattered light) and your body's "natural frequency." The frequencies of the hologram resonate with your own frequencies, thereby promoting good health, better balance and flexible joints. And they only cost $134.40 for a lot of 50 bracelets. That's only $2.69 apiece. Another company sells them for $69.95 (Australian dollars) and provides twice the number of holograms on their bracelets. As one seller candidly admits: "NO PROMISES, JUST RESULTS."
You can even see a video "proving" that these miracle devices work. Watch as someone not wearing the bracelet is easily put off balance, but when he wears a bracelet, he maintains his balance perfectly. And this is a person initially skeptical of the device.
If you watch to the end of the video, you see how the trick is performed, even with someone not in on the trick. A simple matter of how you push. Stick your arms out, stand on one leg. When someone pushes down outwardly away from your center of gravit, you're thrown off balance. When someone pushes down inwardly toward your center of gravity, "AMAZING!" you maintain your balance, whether you're holding this remarkable product OR NOT.
Remember the five rules for sniffing out a scam? If it's too good to be true, it isn't true.
It only takes a moment to uncover the pseudoscience behind this product. Holograms are pictures – they don't emit frequencies. Your body is not a huge battery, nor does it emit frequencies, unless you're talking about the light waves bouncing off of you.
The product is pure bunk, but Amazon sells them, and you can buy them on line, even with your favorite college's logo on them. Want to improve your balance and flexibility? Get a good workout at the gym.
Less Government! No Deficit Spending! OK, How?
November 11, 2010
By Terry Smiljanich:
Common themes ran through most of the successful campaigns during this 2010 midterm election: less government, lower taxes, no deficits. Voters spoke loudly and clearly – we want chocolate fudge sundaes with no calories!
Now a bipartisan deficit reduction commission is also chiming in making some controversial proposals on how to reduce the deficit. Let's take a look at what's on the table.
The federal 2010 budget is $3.54 trillion. The deficit this year is $1.42 trillion. Thus, to bring the deficit down to zero, we would have to cut the budget by 40%. No politician could get elected on that impossible platform. There are certain sacred cows in the federal budget.

How Do I Clean My Ceiling Fan?
Ceiling fans are perhaps one of the easiest things to clean in your home, but are often one of the most neglected. Seriously, look up at your fan now see how much dust is stuck to the fan blades. It can get quite disgusting. Here's how to clean your ceiling fan.
Step One
Turn your ceiling fan off and let it come to a complete stop before continuing. This seems like a no-brainer, but many people damage their fan by not letting it stop completely and trying to stop it with their hand. Let it come to a complete stop by itself.
Step Two
Hopefully, you have a ceiling fan cleaner brush. If you do, all you have to do is run the brush up and down the ceiling fan blade. If you do not have a ceiling fan brush, take a damp cloth and wipe down the sides, the top and the bottom of the ceiling fan blade.
Step Three
That is where most people stop, but they are missing quite a bit of dust. Get a ladder and wipe down the top and bottom of the fan body to remove even more dust hair and dander.
That's it, you are now done cleaning your fan. It really is quite a simple task, but like I said, is one that most people fail to do often. Try to clean your fan at least once a month for the best results. If you have quite a few animals or live in dusty conditions, you might need to do it once every two weeks.
