Deputy downplays heroism {HEADLINE2}
July 29th, 20100 Comments | Palm Beach Post, Jul 7, 2010 | by ALEXANDRA SELTZER
Even though Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy Edward Manak saved a man’s life Monday night, he does not consider himself a hero. In fact, when asked Tuesday if he thought he was one, without even cracking a smile, he shrugged and said, “not really.”
“This is pretty much what we do every day,” Manak, 60, said. “This is our normal job.”
As a young girl was struggling in the ocean at Dubois Park Monday, Hermenegildo Lopez, 24, jumped into the water to save her. When Lopez’s family saw him fighting against the current, two family members dove in and rescued the girl while another person called 911.
Manak arrived at about 6:30 p.m. Lopez was between Dubois Park and Jupiter Beach Park, underwater, not easily seen. Manak was prepared to dive in and had his flotation vest on, but he didn’t have to. Onlookers pulled Lopez out of the water and onto a rock.
Manak turned Lopez on his side and hit his back and chest to try to get the water out of his lungs.
After about three attempts, Manak said he saw bubbles and foam coming out of Lopez’s mouth, which was a good sign that Lopez was breathing shallowly and was regaining consciousness.
“I felt good but I also want to thank the person who put him on land,” Manak said

Item, The; Shamokin, Pa. – Government gets serious about fitness
July 29th, 20100 Comments | News – Item, The; Shamokin, Pa., Jan 6, 2007
According to recent study, wine is fast replacing Gatorade as the nation’s leading fitness beverage.
OK, it didn’t say that exactly.
But it did say that a substance found in red wine, resveratrol, helps speed up the metabolism and make muscles work more efficiently. (Except tongues, perhaps?)
According to the article, “Mice fed large doses could run twice as far as they would normally.” (And presumably not because these were underage mice running from police.)
But there is some bad news.
The dosage, the article said, would require people to take hundreds of pills or “drink hundreds of glasses of wine a day to get equivalent levels of the substance tested on the mice, neither of which would be safe.”
Glad they cleared that up.
Because let’s face it, drinking hundreds of glasses of wine a day would be difficult for all but the most dedicated athletes and Paris Hilton.
The article didn’t specify whether the mice were administered their dosage via pills or 24/7 happy hours, but the study could be the reason behind the alarming increase in mice, especially celebrity mice, now entering rehab.
Elsewhere on the fitness front, New York has banned trans fat, a move made necessary because of New Yorkers’ stubborn refusal to drink as much red wine as New York mice.
But the good news is that the federal government is finally taking our national fitness crisis seriously: In an effort to encourage people to lose weight, it has announced it will soon begin supplying naked photos of all Americans for the Internet!
OK, it didn’t say that exactly.
The Transportation Security Administration is testing new X-ray machines at the Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. The idea, supposedly, is to detect concealed weapons.
Basically, it shows you naked, which most people would find embarrassing, except of course Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, who would refuse to submit to the procedure unless it was guaranteed the photos would be circulated on the Internet.
In an amazing but absolutely true display of naked leadership, Susan Hallowell, director of the TSA’s security laboratory, posed for an X-ray shot — for the press!
I wouldn’t say it was pin-up quality but, um, you got a pretty good idea of the contours of her … well, anyway, you get the idea.
(Immediately after the press conference she went out partying with Britney and Paris, which I promise will be the last time I mention her in this column, unless of course it becomes necessary.)
Government officials, of course, assured travelers the images would be viewed only by a pervert working in a remote location.
OK, they didn’t say that exactly. Instead of “pervert” they used the term “security officer.” (I feel better!)
And they promised the pictures would be deleted as soon as the person steps away.
So there is NO WAY possible these X-rays could show up on the Internet. It’s inconceivable, ridiculous and utterly impossible — in other words the first shots should be available for downloading within three minutes.
Anybody up for a glass of wine and some exercise?

Sump pumps saviors of submerged basements?
July 29th, 20100 Comments | New Haven Register, Apr 15, 2010 | by Charles Kochakian
THIS is for all the families on the Connecticut shore who have spent the last month pumping water out of their basements and who now have waterfront property. It was a morning in March and I had to travel down to the basement for a new can of coffee to distill a pot of wake-up brew. The basement is where we keep extra food in case of an emergency, like Stop & Shop being replaced overnight by another home store.
On the last step, I stared down at a somewhat haggard person in pajamas with eyes half-shut looking up at me. That person needs caffeine more than I do, was my first thought.
My second thought was, “Oh crap!” The basement had flooded and my eyes were wide open now. One’s reflection in a pool of water on the basement floor works faster that a quadruple espresso.
The sump pump, hidden behind a partition in the darkest corner of the basement, had failed. A month ago, I thought a sump pump was something new mothers used for breast-feeding

To avoid this, you
July 29th, 2010To avoid this, you should make use of special eyeglass cleaning cloth to wipe your eyewear.
2) Caring For Your Eyewear
Using, handling, and storing your eyeglasses properly; all are vital for proper care of your glasses. Here?s how you can ensure just that:
? Never remove your eyewear by holding just one of the ear rails. Removing your glasses with one hand should be avoided so that the ear rails maintain their shape and do not get bent or turned. Hold both the ear rails, one in each hand, and then remove your glasses carefully.
? Once you have taken such care to remove your glasses, do not proceed to set them down any which way. Glasses should be folded and then put down with the lens side facing upwards. Never set your glasses down on their lenses as this can damage the pair.
? If you are not going to be using your eyewear for some time, you should store them away.

The Heart is most affected during
July 29th, 2010The Heart is most affected during summer, and consequently the Kidneys have to work hard to keep things cooled down, given that Water regulates Fire.
Back to the Center
The first few weeks of June are also a good time to pay attention to your digestion. As each season gets close to becoming the next, a re-centering takes place. During this transition time ? about three weeks prior to the equinox or solstice ? the energy ‘grounds’ itself, before moving into the next seasonal phase. This coming ‘back to center,’ or ‘rooting,’ is an attribute of the Earth element, which affects the Stomach and overall digestive processes. Then after the summer equinox, you?ll find that your body and mind are more affected by the Fire energy.
Catching Fire
Here are some health issues to be conscious of during the summer Fire season:
Spikes in blood pressure or heart irregularity. (Heart is the Fire organ.)
Insomnia.

If you are
July 29th, 2010If you are thinking to avoid damp places to avoid getting infected, Dr. Wong states that damp places are not the only place where you might be infected. Places where skin can get contact like carpets, mats, linens, and other towels are also possible places to incur infections. Public places like public pools, showers, hotels, motels, changing/locker rooms, and laundry service rooms are high infection risk areas. Sharing foot wear is also a culprit in getting infections. He emphasized to avoid borrowing or lending of footwear like socks and shoes to reduce risks of infections.
Dr. Wong advocates immediate medical action if you suspect being infected by toe fungus, toe fungi, toe disease, toe nail infections, and toe nail disorders because it is uncommon for these infections to heal on their own. Early medication and treatment could prevent fungi to grow, hence, stopping the progress of the infection. At the first symptom of nail disease, consult your doctor to avoid unpretty feet.

Abnormally low blood
July 29th, 2010Abnormally low blood pressure occurs when a person has a heart attack or loses large amount of blood because of some injury etc. When the blood press falls considerably, the oxygen supply to the brain and other parts of the body also are reduced. This can result in serious complications including death. Physicians use drugs, which contract the muscular walls of the blood vessels to raise the blood pressure.
Abnormally high blood pressure may be due to the constriction of arteries. It may also be due to damage to one or both kidneys causing them to release more rennin. Excessive weight and lack of exercise can also contribute to hypertension. High blood pressure may cause heart failure. It may also burst a blood vessel in the eye or the brain and cause blindness or a hemorrhage.
When someone has high or low blood pressure, he or she should consult a good doctor and undergo proper treatment. High blood pressure has no cure but can be kept under control by regular monitoring. With modern technology, it is no longer needed to have a stethoscope and pump meter to display someone’s blood pressure.

Do you see the
July 29th, 2010Do you see the
difference in approach? The first is more like a doctor
assessing a patient, the second is just a normal, natural
conversation and doesn’t mention stress, depression or
anxiety. This is very, very helpful as it shifts focus from
a bad event: “I’m useless…” to a good one: “remember
when..” without exerting pressure.
3. Finally, you may find a resource – a book, a video, a
supplement etc. – that you think will help someone to beat
their illness. Perfectly natural. But there’s a problem. It
confronts the sufferer with their illness and puts them
under pressure to do something about it. The result of this
will be resentment followed by retreat into their own world.
Isolation is a part of these illnesses. Sometimes, you just
can’t bear to be around people. My ex-partner used to sleep
in a dark room for an entire weekend because she just
couldn’t handle anyone being around her. “I bore people,
I’ve nothing to say of interest and I don’t want anyone
asking me how I’m feeling. I just want to be on my own.” I
know, it cuts you to ribbons when you hear such words from
someone you care deeply about.
