NEW YORK - FOR people aged 50 and 64 years, being wealthy seems to protect them against having a stroke, according to new research. After age 65, however, wealth appears to make little difference in stroke risk. 'We confirmed that lower wealth, education and income are associated with increased stroke up to age 65, and wealth is the strongest predictor of stroke among the factors we looked at,' Dr Mauricio Avendano, who was involved in the research, noted in a written statement. 'After age 65, the association of education, income and wealth with stroke are very weak, and wealth did not clearly predict stroke,' said Dr Avendano, of Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Each year about 780,000 Americans suffer strokes; about 27 per cent of strokes occur before age 65, accord

Gov. Mike Huckabee joined McCain's bus tour through Arkansas today to aid McCain in his campaign through the state.McCain spoke of the millions of votes Huckabee received during his own presidential campaign and how he thought Huckabee would be very helpful to his campaign-particularly in the south. He said he would appear with Huckabee, who has a 65% approval rating in Arkansas, at every possible opportunity. McCain also spoke of his VP list. He said he did not want to release names because he feared it would lead to the invasion of the individual's privacy but then strongly reiterated that he would strongly rely on Huckabee for many things and that he feels Huckabee does have a "greater service to render to this nation."If you have trouble viewing this video, click here.-------------

From the Yale Daily News :   " ...One in 100 American adults is behind bars. That's 2.3 million people total. America imprisons more of its citizens than any other country in the world. China runs a close second, but of course, China has four times as many people as the U.S and is also a Communist dictatorship. America's incarceration rate is higher than every country in Europe combined. In fact, the prison population in the U.S. is equivalent to five Luxembourgs.   [ ... ]   Although American prisons are financially and ethically grievous, the incarceration rate continues to skyrocket with hardly a peep from politicians. This may be because the prison system impacts our society's most disempowered. Once you're convicted of a felony, you are stripped of your rights

After posting my initial article about Isaan Rice Rats, I have been sent a good number of questions.To put one misconception right out of the way: the Isaan rice rats as eaten by the people of the Isaan are not the same rats you would find in Bangkok or any other city.

The Globe had an article yesterday about where the single people are within the US. It's pretty interesting. Here are the general conclusions:By far, the best places for single men are the large cities and metro areas of the East Coast and Midwest .... But women do have an advantage in the American West and Southwest.Greater Boston is unusual among large metro areas. It is one of the very few with a near perfect balance of singles - having just 1,600 or so more women than men - 604,960 men to 606,580 women. Maybe that's why my guy friends tell me that it's way easier to chat up a girl at a bar in NYC than it is in Boston.

Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Boston Medical Center (BMC) have found post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with more hospitalizations, longer hospitalizations and greater mental healthcare utilization in urban primary care patients. These findings appear in the current issue of Medical Care. Prior studies suggest that trauma exposure and PTSD have considerable impact on health care use and costs. Most of this research, however, has focused on male veterans and female sexual assault victims but the impact on healthcare use in other populations is uncertain. The researchers interviewed a sample of primary care patients to examine overall prevalence of traumatic exposure and select behavioral health outcomes in addition to PTSD, including major

Wall Street is bracing itself for another week of roller-coaster trading after more than $300bn (£150bn) was wiped off the US equity markets on Friday following the emergency funding package put together by the Federal Reserve and JPMorgan Chase to rescue Bear Stearns. One UK economist warned that the world is now close to a 1930s-like Great Depression, while New York traders said they had never experienced such fear. The Fed's emergency funding procedure was first used in the Depression and has rarely been used since. A Goldman Sachs trader in New York said: "Everyone is in a total state of shock, aghast at what is happening. No one wants to talk, let alone deal; we're just standing by waiting. Everyone is nervous about what is going to emerge when trading starts tomorrow."In the UK, Mic

....Country of Origin: The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (also known as the ‘Great Swiss Cattle Dog’, ‘Grosser Schweizer Sennenhund’, ‘Large Swiss Mountain Dog’, or simply ‘GSMD’) is the largest and most ancient mountain dog from Switzerland. Like many breeds, its origins are uncertain, but it likely descended from Roman Mastiffs crossed with sheepdogs during the Roman invasion of Switzerland in the first century B.C. Another theory is that they arrived earlier with Phoenicians and were crossed with indigenous breeds. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog survived for centuries as a draft dog, farm dog, and butcher’s dog. They were not considered a distinct breed from the Bernese Mountain Dog until the 1890’s when Professor Albert Heim recognized them as distinct, dubbed them the

Watch this and then read the article. This must be stopped. More Media Disinformation? FCC Proposes Greater Media Consolidationby Stephen LendmanOn October 17, FCC chairman Kevin Martin proposed lifting the 1975 media cross-ownership rule that forbids a company from owning a newspaper and television or radio station in the same city even though giant conglomerates like Rupert Murdock's News Corp. and the (Chicago) Tribune Company already do. On November 13, he expanded on his earlier plan claiming changes will only allow cross ownership "in the largest markets where there exists competition and numerous voices."That's not how Free Press.net's policy director, Ben Scott, sees it in his statement on the same day saying: "Chairman Martin's lofty rhetoric talks about saving American newspapers and ensuring a diversity of voices. But the devil is in the details. His new rules appear to be corporate welfare for the (media giants) in the biggest cities (and) most worrying....the proposed

Women who live in urban areas appear to have more dense breast tissue than their suburban or rural counterparts, new research suggests.The finding is potentially important because women with more dense breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer.The study, which compared women living and working in London to those living outside the city, found that city-dwelling women were more likely than their rural peers to have dense breasts."Our study suggests that the closer to urban and high population densities that a woman resides, and in particular works, the greater likelihood there is that she will have denser breasts," said study author Dr. Nicholas Perry, director of the London Breast Institute at the Princess Grace Hospital."For every 1 percent increase in breast density, there is said to be a 2 percent increase in the relative risk of developing breast cancer," he added.Perry was to present the findings Monday at the Radiological Society of North America's annual meeting, in Chicago.E

The basic answer to your question is, "yes, but...". There is no fundamental reason why one would not be able to combine two beams of light together, and get an increase in laser power-after all, lasers are nothing but special beams of light. Furthermore, if we increase the laser power in a point, so does the heat, as heat is simply the energy from the laser being converted. Let's first concentrate on the easiest and most common way of combining laser beams, namely to focus multiple laser beams in a single spot. This way, the spot gets the combined power of all the lasers, and the power density is increased locally. This is for instance performed in laser fusion experiments such as the Shiva laser1. This does mean that the laser power is distributed around the target, rather than focused on the target, which may or may not be better, depending on the goal. For intertial laser fusion, it is the method of choice, and some of the largest and most expensive laser systems are built using t

Many of the stories covered in the media regarding data and security breaches involves companies that are large, usually Fortune 500, maybe Fortune 1000.  We must not forget, however, that any business needs to practice proper security when it comes to customer data.  For example, the Boston Globe covers today the theft of customers’ credit card data at Not Your Average Joe’s, a restaurant chain based out of Dartmouth, Massachusetts.  This chain is small by most measures, with 13 restaurants in Massachusetts and one in Virginia.  Based on an ongoing investigation, about 3500 customers were affected, most of them patrons at their Hyannis restaurant.  This is despite Not Your Average Joe’s having proper security measures in place.  The Secret Service has gotten involved, and they think that there was an internal security breach, although restaurant management believes that none of their regular personnel were involved.  They have hired a forensic

Patients who undergo weight-loss stomach surgery have a higher death rate than is true for the general population, including more suicides, perhaps linked to depression, researchers say. The higher risk of death generally is due not to the surgery itself but to the health problems that accompany obesity, and the damage that the condition does to the body before and after surgery, the researchers said. Dr. Bennet Omalu and colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh said a review of more than 16,000 bariatric operations done in Pennsylvania over a nine-year period found a "substantial excess of deaths owing to suicide and coronary artery disease" compared to normal death rates found in the population at large.Sources:Globe and Mail October 16, 2007

Wa la taqooloo liman yuqtalu fee sabeeli Allahi amwatun bal ahyaon wa lakin la tashAAuroona. transliterationAnd do not call those who die in God (MahaSamadhi) as "dead", no! they are living in their soul's merging with God; only you perceive not. (The Quran 2:154)Translated on the esoteric level of meaning.The Final Testament, Quran has many levels of meanings and on broad generalization namely two: external or literal and internal or mystical (sufistic) or that of ma'rifa (gnosis). This particular verse is a good example why literal translation of Quranic verses are not the only way to approach the Quran.First of all, in general translation and explanation (tafsir or exegeses) of this verse, the death referred as: yuqtalu fee sabeeli Allahi, is translated as that of death in lesser Jihad (some even translated as those who are slain). But this poor translation is not fitting to the weight of this verse.Here is an explanation why literal translation of Quranic verses without probing i

Philadelphia, PA, October 15, 2007 – Research presented at the 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology found that obesity, among other important risk factors, was the strongest risk factor for colorectal cancer in women. Joseph C. Anderson, MD of Stony Brook University in New York (and the University of Connecticut) and his colleagues examined data from 1,252 women who underwent colonoscopy. They classified patients according to their age, smoking history, family history of colorectal cancer, and body mass index (BMI). Obesity was defined as a BMI of 30 or higher. For smoking, patients were divided into three groups: heavy exposure, low exposure, and no exposure. Patients who were in the heavy exposure group included women who had smoked more than 10 "pack years" and who were currently smoking or had quit in the past 10 years. Although smoking posed a significant increased risk for colorectal neoplasia, researchers found that for women, obesity wa

Trans-Pacific link could give Google leverage against telco's ability to control markets and pricesRobert Poe on October 4, 2007 Recent attempts by Google to obtain some type of raw telecommunications capacity — first "dark" optical fiber, then wireless spectrum and most recently, undersea cable capacity — has observers far and wide speculating that the search giant's fondest hope is to become a telecommunications company. A closer reading of the facts, however, leads one to a different conclusion: Google would rather undermine the dominant telecom companies. It just happens to be using the purchase of capacity to do so.The undersea-cable reports started with a CommsDay.net article, which stated that Google was a partner in a planned trans-Pacific optical-fiber cable called Unity. The New York Times and almost every other publication with some interest in technology picked up the news and ran with it. Many speculators saw the report as yet more evidence that Google pla

It has been years since I have bought a single Gospel-oriented CD, but thanks to Shalene who has now earned the honor of being a great DJ (in my opinion at least), I added a new Gospel CD to my collection today. Paul Baloche’s “A Greater Song”. What drew me to Paul Baloche was the fact that I had the chance to sing one of his compositions “Your Name” at the church I visited on Shabbat a fortnight ago, and the song has become one of my favorites. And when Shalene linked the YouTube version of it, I finally found out that Paul Baloche was the composer behind this wonderful song. (more…)

I receive many requests for articles on improving self confidence and peak performance. Last month, Guest Blogger Kevin Sinclair wrote the popular article called The Key to Successful Leadership. This article is self-titled Improving Your Self Confidence For Greater Success. Self confidence is a general and realistic belief in one’s own abilities. Self confident people trust in their own ability to achieve goals that they plan and set out to achieve. This belief needs to be realistic. Self confidence does not mean that an individual can achieve anything and everything, even absurd goals. It simply means that the person will have a sense of control over his own destiny, a positive frame of mind and is likely to make the best use of his talents and skills in achieving positive outcomes. Achieving self confidence is a fine balance. Lack of self confidence or under-confidence will result in an individual doubting his abilities. Such people seek the approval of others for reassuranc

Lou Tisler of Neighborhood Housing Services of Greater Cleveland (NHSGC) made an important point on my latest post on short sales. Many of us know we should 'call our lenders' before it's too late but we are still too timid or worried to do that. NHSGC can do the legwork for you. His second important point was that you should never pay anyone to be the intermediary, to help you with your mortgage issues. Lou has sent me a press release on NHSGC and I'm going to post it here in it's entirety. Please call your lenders.

It would seem that the Baron's Palace in Greater Cairo, after the Great Pyramid and Sphinx of Giza, is subject to more fables, legends and rumors than any other monument in Egypt. I was astounded to hear from a guide, who was very serious, that the old palace was build upon a type of turnstile that would rotate the whole building so that its windows were always facing the sun. Of course, that was urban legend in Cairo, but for many years, this building in Heliopolis has ignited the imagination of the local population with all manner of fables, legends and rumors.Today, the Baron’s Hindu Palace remains the subject of countless rumors. From time to time new rumors spread about this landmark which has been deserted for many years. It’s haunted by bats, stray dogs, and others believe by ghosts. And while the place attracts some architects for it richness, it also seems to have attracted teenagers for their wild parties. They would break into the place on weekends, drink beer and smoke

I would believe everyone has heard of the phrase “Money is the root of all evil”. Money has been known to be the medium to cause greatness in society and massive economic growth but on the other hand, it has also caused families to break up, bankruptcies, suicides, etc. What is money? So what is money? From what I’ve read, in a laissez-faire society, not crippled by government bureaucrats, money is a symbol of man's unspent production that has yet to be consumed. Money is a tool of exchange that allows men to trade goods and services that they have produced in a market economy. When money has been earned (as opposed to looted, stolen, and begged), it is a sign of material and spiritual greatness. (quoted from www.capitalism.org). Singapore contextI have noticed over the years people seemed to be more and more materialistic, putting more emphasis on gaining material wealth. It is true people are earning more and are able to afford more luxury goods these days. Nowadays, you

The newer Las Vegas residential properties are built in subdivisions.  Subdivisions are real estate lingo for common-interest development. The fastest growing form of housing in the United States today is common-interest developments, a category that includes planned-unit developments of single-family homes, condominiums, and cooperative apartments. A homeowners' association is the governance function of a common interest development. This governance, created by the real estate developer, is transferred to the home or condo owners upon selling out of the project. HOAs are subsequently governed by the owners and officers are elected by owners. HOAs possess the authority to enforce the covenants, conditions, and restrictions of managing the common amenities of the development. Most homeowners' associations are non-profit corporations, and are subject to state statutes that govern non-profit corporations and homeowner associations. One interesting point is that in the Las Vegas Valley

The Social Market Foundation (SMF) think-tank has published a study which claims that of the Government's pledge for 3 million new homes in Britain by 2020 "almost 2 million homes would need to be built on non-previously developed land". According to the BBC News, the SMF claim that 'the green belt, which was planned to prevent urban sprawl, contains ex-industrial sites and scrubland and "was not as green as people believe"'.As such, the SMF 'suggests there may be a case for reconsidering the future of the green belt which often protects "neither wildlife nor areas of outstanding beauty".The Green Belt is "not as green as people believe"? What utter nonsense! As has been well recognised for many years, Green Belt of all kinds in many different landscapes and both rural and urban areas serves an important function for wildlife and for people. Green Belt also plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of our communities. Yes, Green Belt areas DO also include areas of the

John is a hard working middle-class man in a mixed blue collar and upcoming white collar neighborhood. A vestige of old times when working class groups of families purchased homes before the mention of any housing bubble or subprime mortgage ever hit the CNBC newswires. Now this neighborhood is experiencing a Renaissance that doesn’t include blue collar working class families. “I wouldn’t be able to purchase my own home if I were to buy it right now,” echoes John as many families in this neighborhood feel the same sentiment. The idea of using interest only mortgages or refinancing to tap into mortgage equity seem like a foreign language to his frugal and debt free way of life. The only debt that he has, he proudly tells me, is the mortgage debt which he only has a few years left to pay off. Welcome to a bygone era and the rhetoric of a past decade. We are living in a time where the definition of “home” is radically shifting. Take a look at some quotes from the ex-he
