How To Choose Between High Protein And Low Carb Foods

'Diploma Mill' Issue Roils Pay Debate in New Jersey

High salaries and generous benefits for New Jersey superintendents and other administrators have drawn sharp criticism and calls to action from state lawmakers, including a backlash against compensation driven by degrees from so-called “diploma mills.”

In the highest-profile case, the superintendent and two other administrators in the 12,000-student, six-school Freehold Regional High School District received $2,900 in tuition reimbursement and $2,500 in annual salary raises after obtaining doctoral degrees from an unaccredited online school.

That institution, Breyer State University, is now prohibited from doing business in Alabama and Idaho for not meeting state accreditation standards. The online institution has a Los Angeles address and had not responded as of press time last week to a request for comment.

Titanium - The Healing Metal?

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:04:36 GMT

Named after the powerful Titan deities of Greek mythology, titanium is as strong as steel but nearly half as light. Because it does not react or interfere with the chemistry of the human body, titanium has been used for decades as a "biomaterial," to augment and replace damaged body parts (including bones and joints).

High-profile athletes have brought titanium products international exposure: At the Summer Olympics in Beijing, many athletes sported titanium-infused necklaces, bracelets and sports tape. Major League Baseball players have also given the products high-profile television exposure.

Phiten's success rests on scientifically unsubstantiated claims that the products can increase circulation, improve recovery time, reduce pain and facilitate the mental focus and stamina required of athletics, the company has had great success

Among the most prominent of these so-called healing metals is titanium.

Fat cells store toxins

clipper's remarks: Scientific theory of how and why toxins are stored in adipose tissue

Clip Source: www.naturalnews.com

To complete this unholy triad scientifically, several studies have shown that obese people have high levels of toxins stored in their fatty tissue. The theory resulting from this academic work is that the body is using fatty tissue, which has a relatively low level of metabolic activity, as a place to store the toxins away from the body tissues that have high levels of metabolic activity, such as blood, organs, and muscle. In effect, body fat becomes a storehouse of toxins in an attempt to “firewall” the body from toxicity.

Dead Sea Scrolls getting digitized

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- More than 2,000 years after they were written, the Dead Sea Scrolls are going digital

The high-tech initiative, announced Wednesday, will also reveal text that was not visible to the naked eye.

Over the next two years, the Israel Antiquities Authority will digitally photograph and scan every bit of crumbling parchment and papyrus that makes up the scrolls, which include the oldest written record of the Bible's Old Testament.

The images eventually will be posted on the Internet for anyone to see.

"These are the earliest copies of the Bible ever found," said Pnina Shor, head of treatment and conservation at the Antiquities Authority.

"Just by applying the latest infrared technologies and shooting at very high detail, lots of resolution, we are already opening up new characters from the scrolls that are either extremely indistinct or you just couldn't see them before," said Simon Tanner, director of King's Digital Consultancy Services.

Billionaire Avoids Paying $3.5m Gambling Debt after High Court Battle with Casino

After a controversial High Court appeal, billionaire businessman and renowned international gambler Fouad al-Zayet was yesterday cleared of £2million worth of gambling debt.

al-Zayet, known in certain circles as ‘Fat Man’, has earned a reputation for extravagant spending and is known to be 1 of 180 so called ‘whales’ who frequently bet over £1million a night at casino tables.

The arrears in question were accumulated by al-Zayet in March, 2000 during a single evening of blackjack at exclusive casino Aspinall's Club in London. When, after a disagreement about the croupier dealing his hand, he cancelled the £2million cheque given to the casino to cover his evening’s losses.

Blood Presure

Bread Helps Your Blood Pressure

Here’s some news to make your heart sing: When you pick the right bread, your blood pressure wins!

Three grains recently tested had blood pressure benefits: whole wheat, barley, and brown rice. Look for them in whole-grain breads, cereals, and other grain-based goodies.

The Whole Story

In a study, all three grains were good for lowering blood pressure in middle-aged people with mildly high cholesterol and prehypertension. How? Chalk up another one for fiber. Both the soluble and insoluble fiber in grains reduce blood pressure -- and soluble fiber takes a bite out of cholesterol, too. High cholesterol and high blood pressure often occur together, and the combo is doubly dangerous for your heart and blood vessels. But you can get your act together with these heart-helping steps.

Oh, please. McCain cheapens his own heroism when he tries to use five years in a North Vietnamese prison camp as a rhetorical get-out-of-jail-free card.

George W. Bush's widely mocked garble about McCain taking his "high horse" on the "low road" is actually, with a bit of untangling, a pretty good image. It's one thing to drop your negative ads and challenge your opponent to do the same. But it's a bit rich to carry on as if no decent person would ever do what you yourself were doing just a few days before.

Concentration and Focus - Do you know when to let go?

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:24:44 GMT

clipped by: connorcl
clipper's remarks: Working in a high presser, tight deadline company can make us all feel like we have to rush from one thing to another. But that just kills our work life balance and makes a job a nightmare. No matter how crazy your job is, remember to take a break.

This idea also applies, on a smaller scale, during the workday. It’s important to learn to focus without interruptions without going overboard. “Forty-five minutes of high-level focus with 15-minute breaks seems to improve productivity more than the marathon,” Turla said. “You need to put a high priority on having high-quality goof-off time during the day.”

HR can help by making sure managers understand this, so they don’t assume that any employee they see chatting or surfing the Web is not being productive.
