| Link between the oral cancer and ethnicity identified
Washington, Nov 15 (ANI): A recent study at the University of Southern California has identified the link between the oral cancer and ethnicity. The researchers theorized that the ethnic groups who were engaged in high-risk behaviours experienced high rates of oral cancer. The researchers worked upon this theory as they discovered that different ethnic groups living in California manifest the disease very differently. African Americans and Caucasians, who have the highest oral cancer rates, are most likely to develop cancer of the tongue. Among Asian populations, Koreans had the highest incidence of tongue cancer, while Southeast Asians were more likely to develop the disease in the buccal mucosa, or inner cheek. Filipino women have the highest incidence The authors also stated that the reason behind the development were the cultural habits which were to be blamed.
Similarities to other massacres - but this was a very Finnish affair
In the old days Finns used to believe in the dark power of Tuonela, the mythical land of the dead. Now they believe in YouTube, the land of the virtual living. The crazed marginalised teenager who takes out his frustration on his teachers and schoolmates, who chases them through classrooms like mice in a maze, has become a universal phenomenon: the massacres at Virginia Tech, Columbine and Erfurt in Germany conformed to a pattern. A pupil is snubbed, is deemed a failure, and retreats into an interior world that structured by his computer, video games that tap his inner aggressions, throbbing downloaded music and a locked room. .
illumistream Launches Video Health Platform: Good Health Isn't Boring Anymore

Torture IS illegal, yet, the TV threat is trying to teach America that We, The People, haven't spoken on this issue since Law came to be. Please, I beg, please fight back for Humanity by not excepting a zionist's betrayal to G-D on this subject. .
The Village Network wins 2007 Agency of the Year
WOOSTER -- The Village Network's recent award marked "a very special occasion for all of us," Executive Director Jim Miller said at a reception honoring the distinction of the Alliance for Children and Families "2007 Agency of the Year" National Award. "We were quite surprised when we heard we were going to be the national recipient of the agency of the year," Miller said. John McCord, president of the board of trustees, said the Village Network is no doubt "the envy of the other 370 organizations (eligible to win the award)." McCord commended the contributions of sound board decisions and generous donors who "fund many of the new initiatives" for which the Village Network was recognized. He also acknowledged "hard work and sacrifices" by all those involved with the facility.
100 pounds down and counting
Obesity is an epidemic. Losing weight is the cure. But that can be such a challenge, whether you have 5 pounds to lose or 50. Still, it can be done. Meet three people who prove it. Two have lost more than 100 pounds each. The third is more than halfway to her goal of doing the same. Let them be your inspiration. Sharice Miller Sharice Miller grew up eating right, "for the most part. I was a healthy child. I wasn't an overweight child, but I wasn't thin." But with her first pregnancy, with twins, she gained weight that she never entirely got rid of. With her second pregnancy, she gained more and developed chronic hypertension and postpartum cardiomyopathy --"My heart is enlarged." Two more babies pushed her weight even higher. Then, she happened to see herself reflected in a building's window on her way to vote.
