Environmental Tobacco smoke
Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema and heart disease
Cigarette smoke contains thousands of different compounds many of which are harmful to health and/or cause cancer (carcinogenic).
These compounds include carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, toluene, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, nicotine, oxides of nitrogen, phenol, and sulphur dioxide. Metals and metalloids, including arsenic, nickel, cadmium and chromium also occur in tobacco smoke.
Among the compounds, mainly bound to particles, which are proven or probably human carcinogens in cigarette smoke are n-nitrosamines, PAHs (benz[a]anthracene, benz[a]pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene),aromatic amines and benzene.
Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema, myocardial infarction and stroke. In people who do not smoke but are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) there are less marked but significant increases in the risks of these outcomes.
Infants and young children are particularly susceptible to the health effects of ETS. Exposure increases the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, and the risk of respiratory infections: bronchitis, pneumonia and other childhood infections such as those of the middle ear.

Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: The Importance of Hydration, adapted from this content.
Dehydration occurs when a person does not take in enough fluid or loses too much fluid. Without enough water, the human body cannot function properly. In particular, people undergoing cancer treatment may be at a higher risk for dehydration due to treatment side effects, such as diarrhea and vomiting. Learning how to stay hydrated and recognizing and treating dehydration before it becomes severe are important steps for good health.
Water and the body
Two-thirds of the human body is made up of water. Although it is possible to go for a long time without food, people cannot live without water for more than a few days. Every cell and organ depends on water to perform essential functions. The water in your body performs the following functions:
- Removes waste and toxins
- Transports nutrients and oxygen
- Controls heart rate and blood pressure
- Regulates body temperature
- Lubricates joints
- Protects organs and tissue, including the eyes, ears, and heart
- Creates saliva
Causes of dehydration
The average adult loses more than 10 cups of water every day through natural body functions, such as breathing, sweating, and going to the bathroom. Most people easily replace that fluid through drinking and eating. However, certain conditions affect the body's ability to stay well hydrated, requiring a conscious effort to take in more water. In fact, thirst is not a sufficient measure because a person may be dehydrated and not feel thirsty. Causes of dehydration include the following:
Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. People undergoing cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, may experience these symptoms, which increase dehydration risk.
Fever. A high fever can result in dehydration. Patients undergoing cancer treatment may be at risk for infections, and a fever is usually a sign of infection.
Age. Infants, children, and older adults are at greater risk for dehydration. Although young children don't weigh much, they pass water and electrolytes (minerals that help regulate the body) out of the body frequently. They also are likely to get diarrhea, a common childhood illness. Meanwhile, as a person gets older, the body slowly loses the ability to conserve water. Older adults are also at risk because they are less likely to sense that they are thirsty and may not eat or drink enough, especially if they live alone. Illnesses, disabilities, and certain medications can also contribute to dehydration.
Other chronic illness. Many diseases, such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis (a disease in which thick mucus affects the lungs and digestive system), and kidney disease, increase dehydration risk and/or need for fluids. For example, people with uncontrolled diabetes urinate frequently. Also, some medications can cause a person to urinate or sweat more than normal.
Environment. Living, working, and exercising in a hot or humid environment increase the need for fluids. People living at high altitudes (from 8,000 feet to 12,000 feet) also need more fluids because their bodies lose water as they work to take in more oxygen.
Exercise. Everyone loses water through sweat, and people who engage in physical activity generally produce a significant amount of sweat. Even if you don't see sweat, you are likely sweating. The more you exercise, the more fluid replacement you need.
Other factors. Women and overweight or obese individuals are at greater risk for dehydration.
Dehydration symptoms
Dehydration is cumulative, meaning the longer you go without enough fluids, the more dehydrated you will become. Although thirst is one way your body alerts you to drink more, other symptoms of dehydration include the following:
- A dry or sticky mouth or a swollen tongue
- Fatigue, weakness
- Irritability
- Dizziness, lightheadedness
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Constipation
- Dry skin
- Weight loss
- Dark yellow urine or a decrease in urination
Severe dehydration, which can be life-threatening and needs immediate medical treatment, can cause the following symptoms:
- Extreme thirst
- Fever
- Rapid heartbeat
- Lack of urination for more than eight hours
- Sunken eyes
- Inability to sweat
- Inability to produce tears
- Low blood pressure
- Disorientation or confusion
Staying hydrated
The amount of fluid needed each day to stay hydrated can differ based the person's health and lifestyle. Talk with your doctor to learn how much water you should be drinking. The following tips can help you keep your body's fluid balance in check.
Drink lots of fluids. Drinking at least eight cups of water each day is a good rule of thumb, according to the American Dietetic Association. However, if you have any risk factors for dehydration, you should drink more. If you dislike plain water, try drinking a flavored water or adding a slice of lemon. Other fluids, such as juice and tea, contribute to your fluid count, as well.
Eat foods with high water content. While drinking water is the best source of hydration, many foods contain water and can help replenish lost fluids. Choose foods like lettuce (95% water), watermelon (92% water), and broccoli (91% water). Soups, popsicles, and yogurt also have high water content.
Get help managing side effects. If you are undergoing a treatment, such as chemotherapy, that is causing nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, talk with your doctor about ways to prevent or minimize these side effects.
Don't wait to drink. Make a conscious effort to drink enough on a regular basis and more often when you begin feeling ill, before you exercise, or before you go out into hot weather. Ensuring that you are well hydrated before you lose water can help reduce your risk for dehydration.
Avoid foods and drinks that may contribute to dehydration. Beverages with sugar and/or caffeine (such as fruit juice, soda, and coffee) may help to hydrate some, but they are not as effective as low-sugar or low/non-caffeine beverages.
Treating dehydration
If you are experiencing side effects from cancer treatment or an illness and find it hard to take in and keep down water and food, it can be difficult to replace the water your body has lost. Try these tips to address mild dehydration:
- Suck on ice chips or popsicles if you are having trouble drinking water or eating.
- Apply moisturizer to cracked lips and medication to mouth sores so that drinking and eating is less painful.
- If you are able to drink, take in small amounts frequently instead of a large amount at one time; drinking too much fluid at once may cause vomiting.
- Keep a water bottle with you at all times, and sip throughout the waking hours.
- Drink a large glass of water before bed and when you awake each morning.
- If you have diarrhea, be sure to select beverages that have sodium and potassium to help replace these losses in stool.
- If you have fatigue, keep ice and drinks within reach so you don't have to get up more often than necessary.
If your symptoms become severe, visit your doctor immediately. In some cases, intravenous (IV) fluids or hospitalization may be necessary. Your doctor may also perform tests to determine the extent of dehydration and to find out what is causing your fluid loss.

Read A Sample Chapter Chapter 15Chapter 18
There is the familiar story of three people looking at the same thing. One sees a pile of bricks. The second sees a wall. The third -- the wisest of the three -- sees a part of a sacred building.
What you see depends on who you are. History can be a muddle of unrelated events, or it can be a template, a pattern that enables one to understand not only the past, but the future. It depends on the person, on his wisdom and perceptiveness, and on the tradition through which he filters events.
Rabbi David Cohen, spiritual leader of Congregation Gvul Yaabetz in Flatbush, is one of the most distinguished and respected rabbinic leaders and halachic authorities of the Orthodox community. His knowledge, his judgment, his ability to relate seemingly unrelated laws and events to form a coherent pattern are dazzling.
In this brilliant study, Rabbi Cohen looks at Jewish history through the lens of the Rabbinic principle that the deeds of the forefathers are portents for their offspring. The lives of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs -- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Sarah, Rebeccah, Rachel, and Leah -- are templates, i.e., patterns for the future history of the Jewish people. The classic Biblical commentators have themselves been the templates for applying this principle. Thus, for example, Ramban traces the Egyptian exile through the footsteps of Abraham and Sarah, as they leave the famine of Canaan for the abundance of Egypt. Ramban looks at the wells of Isaac and the antagonism of his Philistine neighbors and sees the future Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Cohen follows in the footsteps of the classics. In this book he takes us on a fascinating tour of Jewish history, using the road map of the Torah. Drawing on his encyclopedic knowledge of Talmudic and Midrashic sources and his complete familiarity with the history they portend, he shows how countless events and epochs of the past are foreshadowed in the Torah.
This volume is incredibly informative and enriching. Its endless revelations are eloquent testimony to the depth of the Torah and to the brilliance of its author.

Summary of The Unfortunate Son Summary of The Unfortunate Son Reviews for The Unfortunate Son An Excerpt from The Unfortunate Son
Kidnapping, family secrets, and adventure on the high seas--perfect for middle grade fans of historical fiction!
What does it mean to be lucky? Luc doesn't really know. He was born with just one ear, his father constantly berates him, and his younger brother is already bigger and stronger than he is. But when he is chosen to become an apprentice to a local fisherman, his life takes a turn for the better. Luc is a natural at sea, and before long he and a teenaged girl who lives with the fisherman form a strong bond. That bond is tested when Luc is taken captive by a band of merciless pirates, and sold into slavery.

AskMen.com, with a little bit of help from Porsche North America, has compiled a list of the top ten Porsche models of all time in celebration of the brand's emergence sixty years ago in North America. The list goes as follows:
10. Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid – Equipping the 911 GT3 R with two electric motors provides the Porsche racecar with better fuel mileage and on-demand power reserves. Although earmarked for the track, this technology is expected to trickle down to all the Porsche models in the future.
9. Porsche Cayenne Turbo – We aren't sure if it meant the entire Cayenne Turbo range since the model was introduced for 2003 or the new sportier 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Either way, the Cayenne has proved its worth in the marketplace despite protests from Porsche enthusiasts.
8. 1965 Porsche 911 Targa – AskMen.com says 1965 was the first year that Porsche sold the Targa model but we are certain the Targa was introduced in 1967. Despite the discrepancy, It says the Targa was an attempt to outsmart the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) (AskMen.com calls it the National Highway Transport Safety Association or NTHSA) before it was going to pass laws banning convertibles. The bans were never enacted and the Targa model sold so well that Porsche still builds it to this day.
7. Porsche 718 RS 60 (Spyder) – "An evolution from the 356 and 550 racecars…the 718 RS 60 (Spyder) snagged a number of important wins for Porsche, including overall wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring (with a Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder) and the Targa Florio (with a Porsche 718 GTR Coupe)."
6. Porsche Carrera GT – Despite replacing the expensive clutch, the Carrera GT has earned it spot in its top-ten list through engineering excellence.
5. Porsche 550 Spyder – The car that killed James Dean will live on as one of Porsche's greatest creations. AskMen.com points out that "Porsche 550s took home a one-two win at the car's first ever race—the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the car continued to dominate legendary events like the Carrera Panamericana."
4. Porsche 959 – "Unveiled in 1983, the 959 featured forward-thinking technologies such as an all-wheel drive system, a 450-horsepower turbocharged flat-6, magnesium wheels and run-flat tires. Even the body—while common-looking today—was incredibly advanced due to its slippery shape, flush headlamps and integrated bumpers. Porsche built a little over 200 models to meet FIA homologation requirements, but the car never achieved certification for North America. In 1998, a new U.S. law allowed cars like the 959 to be brought over under a 'Show & Display' status, finally allowing us Yanks to enjoy a true icon of automotive history."
3. Porsche 917 – The 917 co-starred in the 1971 film Le Mans with Steve McQueen behind the wheel. The 917 gave "Porsche its first overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, a feat it repeated the following year. Porsche officially retired the car in 1971, but the car would go on to conquer racetracks around the world for another 10 years."
2. 1966 Porsche 911S – Dubbed by AskMen.com as the most important 911 of all time. It says the 911S was introduced in 1966 but we believe its first year was in 1967. The 911S was the "Super" version of the 356 successor, the new 911, which started production in fall of 1964 for 1965. The 911S featured "Fuch alloy wheels—wheels whose design have come to define the classic 911 look almost as much as the 911 silhouette itself."
1. Porsche 356 – The first Porsche sold in North America has also taken home many firsts for the brand and ensured that the lifespan of the Porsche brand for the past 60 years.

Should employers be able to demand an applicant's Facebook password?Thursday, March 22nd, 2012
The Associated Press reports that it is becoming increasingly common for potential employers to ask job applicants to divulge Facebook passwords or otherwise enable them to see how the applicant interacts on social networking sites.
Some applicants refuse outright, but others are too desperate for a job to say no.
Some employers, such as law enforcement or criminal justice agencies, excuse the demand by saying they need to check for gang affiliations. Others just want to take a peek behind the typical, no-nonsense façade applicants try to present.
Sometimes the employer won't ask for the password itself but will ask the applicant to log into their Facebook page during the interview. Some applicants – as well as many employees – are asked to "friend" human resources officers. That way, the company can check for embarrassing behavior before hiring and then make sure their new employee isn't disparaging the company online or divulging any secrets.
Civil libertarians challenge the emerging policies. A few states even are considering legislation against it. People who flock to social networking sites already had learned the hard way to be careful when making their profiles, comments and pictures public. But now they're learning that even "private" postings might not be safe.
What do you think? Should employers be able to demand an applicant's Facebook password? Leave a comment or click on the link below to take our poll.

Buccaneers' running back D.J. Ware hasn't been gone from the Giants long enough to even start receiving his mail in Tampa yet.
After spending five years with the defending World Champions, D.J. Ware was released on August 31st in order for the New York Giants to be within the 53-man roster limits.
A free agent for the first time, Ware chose to sign with Tampa Bay the following day. The newest member of the running back stable wants to contribute as much as possible for the Pewter and Red, and he hopes to prove to New York Sunday that they shouldn't have let him go.
"I've got a couple of buddies on the other side," Ware said, "I just want to go out and prove to them they let me go for no reason. I've got a new home and I'm glad to be here."
Last year at his previous home, Ware had a very effective season, rushing for 163 yards on 46 attempts and receiving 27 passes for 170 yards. Nine of those carries came on third down with Ware converting four of them. The season before Ware contributed in special teams as well, returning 21 kicks for 432 yards.
In 81 career rushing attempts and 37 receptions, Ware has fumbled the ball one time. With the history of the Bucs' ball security issues and head coach Greg Schiano's abhorrence for fumbling, Ware's ability to hang on to the ball make him even more valuable in third down situations. Ware understands the importance of ball security just as much as his coaches.
"It's very important." Ware said. "Without that ball, you don't have anything. Our coaches preach that; the head coach over here preaches it and our position coach preaches it. It's pretty much – ball or die, so you got to hold on to the ball with everything you have and every example – [could be] first, second down, third down, special teams – we got to have the ball, it's very important, so we do just do everything we can to make sure it's high and tight and defenders can't get to it."

In 1994, Albany Medical Center organized its premier gift recognition society called Partners in Leadership. Its mission is to encourage the highest level philanthropy to the Medical Center while honoring those individuals, businesses, and organizations who are Albany Medical Center's most generous annual donors. The Partners name reflects the substantial collaboration between those philanthropists and how their gifts make a meaningful difference in the quality of patient care, medical education and biomedical research which define Albany Medical Center's three-part mission. Leadership describes the social and professional profiles of our significant donors, as well as Albany Medical Center's constant goal to be a preeminent academic medical center.
Our Partners in Leadership are investors in the present and shareholders for our community's future. Partners include individuals, businesses, alumni, foundations, organizations, grateful patients, employees and board members who make gifts totaling $1,000 or more to Albany Med each year.
Partners Making a Difference
Yearly, the Partners in Leadership contribute nearly 75% of total gifts to the Annual Fund. These funds are what make the difference between Albany Medical Center being a good facility and it being the highly recognized national and international academic health science center that it has become. In all areas of its three-part mission – patient care, research and education – our Partners are helping Albany Medical Center provide the best in healthcare for the people of this region for today and tomorrow.
Who are Our Partners?
They include local, regional and national businesses, grateful patients, Albany Medical Center vendors, Albany Medical College alumni, our physicians, staff and Center and Foundation board members, and gifts from foundations, estates, and trusts.
Member Benefits
Individual and corporate Partners in Leadership receive several benefits:
Gift Society Categories
How much one gives is a personal matter. It depends on your level of commitment, your clear understanding of the needs, and your own financial circumstances.
Society membership is based on the total amount of gifts received in each calendar year. This does not include incomplete or partially completed pledges. All gifts to Albany Medical Center qualify for appropriate gift society recognition: unrestricted and restricted Annual Fund gifts, gifts for special programs or projects; contributions establishing or adding to endowments; gifts for construction and renovation; gifts of equipment or other tangible personal property for which an independent appraisal is received; estates and trusts; and other qualified contributions as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.

You may be right - but there are much more important issues at stake. The House of Lords (HoL) currently contains a mix of 'career', meaning ex-house-of-commons politicians ( to borrow a term from a current novel) and what one might call 'experts', who have been very successful in a very wide range of other walks of life, from engineering & science through business, the arts and sports.
Having interacted a good deal with both houses the breadth & depth of knowledge, and frankly the intelligence, of the 'experts' is relatively and absolutely very impressive. Whilst the existing system seems democratically indefensible it would be a great shame to lose this resource for some vague 'democratic fairness' objective. Can we come up with some more 'democratic' method of selecting members for the upper house from the wider pool of successful members of the population rather than just politicians? It seems to me that there is some demand round the world for this and no-one has yet done better than the UK HoL.
I have to agree. There is no viable reason for a fully elected house aside from democratization. Instead, it could be made into a group of (official) experts through innovative legislation that would support scientists, economists, businessmen, trade union leaders in the place of the present Lords (or aside them) allowing for further input that the Government might find useful.

National Geographic Kids teamed up with Jordin Sparks and Malaria No More to help save kids' lives in Africa. Last fall we asked readers to donate to the "Be a Star, Save a Life" campaign through the group Malaria No More, and thousands of you joined the effort. Kids all over the country donated funds to purchase bed nets to protect African children from mosquitoes which carry a deadly disease called malaria.
Through your generosity, we received $23,459, which Jordin and Malaria No More matched dollar for dollar for a total of $46,918! Now we can help protect 9,380 kids from malaria in Africa.
Along with donations, kids sent in letters about their fundraising efforts at school or in their neighborhoods. Here are excerpts from a few of the letters we received:
I am going to donate $2 to save lives. I read about it in National Geographic Kids. Enclosed please find $2 from me and $2 from my mother.
Julian, 7, Indiana
Here's ten dollars to donate a net to Africa. I wanted to help the world and this is a great way. I hope this money will help save someone's life so they can see the future. So please donate this money toward someone's life in Africa. Please help save their life with the help of a net.
Thank you,
Gabby, 13, Missouri
My name is Spencer and I am a third grader. I am trying to raise money for Malaria No More, a nonprofit organization. I learned about malaria from my classroom magazine, National Geographic Explorer…All the money I raise will help MNM provide bed nets. To raise money for these bed nets, I will be selling homemade crayons shaped like pumpkins, hearts, and gingerbread men. …If you want to help out, but you don't want the crayons you can write a check to Malaria No More…
Thank you for your support,
Spencer, Oregon
We are fourth graders at Addison Central Elementary School. In the fall we read your article in the October issue of National Geographic Explorer. We decided as a class we would sponsor one net. We talked about bringing in part of our allowance and doing extra chores to earn money. In November, we had a bake sale to earn more money and made about $80.00. We received money from friends and family who were proud of us for wanting to help others. Some Christmas and birthday gifts were made as donations in honor of some special people.
When we counted the money after Christmas, we had made over $413.00; and realized that instead of being able to purchase one net, our money could purchase 41! We were jubilant with this big news.
We hope your organization is doing well and saving a lot of lives.

The new datacentre is designed specifically to host Blackboard® software applications and is supported by a full-time team wholly dedicated to serving hosted clients.
With the opening of Blackboard's Asia Pacific datacentre also comes an agreement with Australia's Academic and Research Network (AARNET), owner and operator of one of the world's most advanced and far reaching research networks. AARNET provides research services to 38 Australian universities and this agreement will allow Blackboard ASP services to host AARNET research along with Blackboard applications at no additional cost to mutual clients.
"AARNET is pleased to welcome Blackboard to our partner community," said Chris Hancock, Chief Executive Officer of AARNET. "This partnership ensures inter-institutional benefits for our members should they decide to host the Blackboard Academic Suite™ at Blackboard's datacentre."
Blackboard has been offering fully-managed hosted services since 1999 and currently has over 520 ASP clients from a variety of market sectors and implementation sizes with environments that range from a few hundred to over 1 million active users. Today, over 5 million students, staff and executives leverage such services from Blackboard.
"One of the greatest challenges of implementing global teaching and learning strategies is the ability to ensure course delivery around the clock," said Jay Robertson, senior vice president of Blackboard ASPSM and Hosted Services. "Utilising hosted services through Blackboard's Datacentres means clients can shift their focus to strategic projects such as professional development courses for staff, initiatives to foster student engagement, and advancing institutional assessment programs. We look forward to partnering with our clients in Asia Pacific to determine how their e-learning programs can benefit from this expanded capability."

I love my job. As executive vice president of original programming and development at Bravo, I oversee the production of every episode of every single one of our shows. And as the host of Watch What Happens: Live and the Housewives reunion shows, I get to speak to the casts directly and ask them the questions we're all dying to know the answers to. The Housewives are real women with real problems, real highs and lows—people might think they're acting or playing to the camera, but they're truly not. They're just like you. It just so happens that their hair is blonder and their boobs are bigger than most. Underneath the makeup and bling are people women relate to—you like them or love them or hate them or laugh or cry with them or roll your eyes. My front-row seat to the Bravo drama has taught me a lot about the psychology of women (and men!). So I'm here to share what I've gleaned about life, friendships and love from those Housewives, little dogs and opinionated matchmakers. Enjoy!
"I want it all. I want success. I want love. I want my marriage perfect. And it's not."—Vicki Gunvalson, The Real Housewives of Orange County
What I've learned about relationships: Talking matters!
I look at love and marriage through the lens of The Real Housewives of Orange County. The biggest thing I've learned is that you've got to communicate. For example, take Vicki and Donn Gunvalson, who split up last season. I think part of their problem is that the two of them never really heard each other or met halfway. She needed to be listened to, and he needed to be validated. But that never happened, and as Vicki said, her love tank just wasn't full.
And another lesson: You need to be able to be your own person and be a full woman outside of the relationship—you can't let it be the only defining thing about you! If you look at Orange County, some of the wives are not given any freedom or independence within their relationship. This past season there was an episode in which Alexis Bellino went to a dinner party without her husband, Jim, and she had a breakdown because she didn't know how to enjoy it without him. With Tamra and Simon Barney, she said he was very controlling of her, where she was going and what she was doing. Relationships like that are unsustainable.
But as a counterpoint, look at Alex McCord from the New York cast. She's unapologetic about how she and her husband, Simon, do everything together, and I know she still considers herself to be very modern and independent. For some women, it works; for others, it doesn't.
"I don't care who or what you are. If you treat women like crap, you're a narcissist, you're a bragosaurus, you're out."—Patti Stanger, The Millionaire Matchmaker
What I've learned about dating: Keep it classy, girls
Matchmaker Patti Stanger's big rule for women is that you can't go in [pointing to mouth] and you can't go in [pointing to crotch] until you're exclusive with someone. She's basically saying, "Have some class, ladies!" I think that is probably good advice if you're really looking to land someone. That time together not "putting it in" allows you to get to know him. Some women on our shows ignore this advice, and a lot follow it—for all their big boobs and hair and makeup, most of our Housewives are a pretty traditional bunch sexually. And you know, women deserve to be treated like queens. It's OK to be wooed! One additional note: Romance doesn't have to end when you get married. On Bethenny Ever After, Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy still have date nights. You can really feel the sparks when they go out alone, and I think that's healthy for a relationship.
