- Description
Nutritional scientists collectively refer to vitamins and minerals as "micronutrients." Micronutrients often go unnoticed by body-building athletes, not to mention the general public. This is more than a little ironic, as without them, your body would literally fall apart.
What makes micronutrients so important is that they serve as "chemical teeth" for enzymes. With the appropriate micronutrients in place, enzymes, in turn, can use the macronutrients in your diet –specifically, protein, carbohydrate and fat- to build your body's cells and tissues. This is known as anabolism.
Besides making anabolism possible, enzymes allow your muscles to contract. But enzymes are continually being broken down. As this occurs, the vitamins and minerals bound to them are excreted. That's why you need to keep replacing them through the diet.

Multivitamins May Protect Men Against Cancer
Multivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMen taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

Britain's foreign secretary cited evidence that the Syrian regime could use its stockpile of chemical weapons against rebels battling government forces.
"We are extremely concerned," William Hague told reporters on the sidelines of a regional security conference Saturday.
Hague said that there was no simple "red line" which could trigger international military action, but that Britain and its allies had "contingency plans concerning chemical weapons" which he declined to disclose.
He noted several "dangerous scenarios" for the use of chemical weapons. One would be terror groups obtaining such munitions.
Recent U.S. intelligence suggests the Syrian government has started mixing chemical weapons compounds and loading them into bombs, though the bombs are not being moved to any delivery devices, CNN's Barbara Starr reported.
The U.S. military continues to revise its plans for a potential strike against Syria over chemical weapons.
President Barack Obama said this summer that any effort to move or use chemical weapons was a red line.
"A red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of weapons moving around or being utilized," Obama said. He prefaced that remark by saying the concern was the weapons falling into the hands of others.
With the new intelligence, administration warnings have focused not on moving, but on using the weapons.
As diplomats continue to seek a more peaceful resolution, international powers are weighing their military options.
The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee on Friday warned the Obama administration it must act more urgently to prevent Syria's government from using chemical weapons.
Rep. Mike Rogers told attendees at the IISS Manama Dialogue conference in Bahrain that the United States has a moral obligation to use military intervention if there is concrete proof chemical weapons are loaded and being readied for launch.
"I don't see any other way of making sure those weapons aren't used," he said. "As a coalition, we will have the moral obligation (to intervene) if we can say with even a moderate degree of certainty that these weapons have been prepared and are put in an arsenal for use."
On Friday, UN chief Ban Ki-moon said any use of chemical weapons by President Bashar al-Assad's regime against the rebels would be an "outrageous crime."
Although Hague said the option of international military intervention had not been ruled out, Britain was working along with the United States and others to support a peaceful transition.
Hague acknowledged that rebel fighters were "receiving arms and making progress on the ground," but said Britain's policy was not to send arms to the Middle East.
"We will continue to give them strong practical assistance; communication equipment and humanitarian assistance," he said, adding that he hoped the international community would increase its support to the new Syrian opposition coalition during the Friends of Syria meeting in Marrakesh next week.

At least 1,000 people have been injured in Russia as the result of a meteor exploding in the air. The energy of the detonation appears to be equivalent to about 300 kilotons of TNT, said Margaret Campbell-Brown of the department of physics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario.
Meanwhile, an asteroid approached Earth but did not hit it, coming closest at about 2:25 p.m. ET.
You probably have some questions about both of those events, so here's a brief overview:
1. Are these events connected?
The meteor in Russia and the asteroid that passed by on Friday afternoon are "completely unrelated," according to NASA. The trajectory of the meteor differs substantially from that of asteroid 2012 DA14, NASA said. Estimates on the meteor's size are preliminary, but it appeared to be about one-third the size of 2012 DA14.
The term "asteroid" can also be used to describe the rock that exploded over Russia, according to the European Space Agency and NASA, although it was a relatively small one.
2. What's the difference between an asteroid and a meteorite and other space rocks?
According to NASA, here's how you tell what kind of object is falling from the sky:
Asteroids are relatively small, inactive rocky bodies that orbit the sun.
Comets are also relatively small and have ice on them that can vaporize in sunlight. This process forms an atmosphere and dust and gas; you might also see a "tail' of dust or gas.
Meteoroids are small particles from comets or asteroids, orbiting the sun.
Meteors are meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere and vaporize, also known as shooting stars.
Meteorites are meteoroids that actually land on the Earth's surface. The pieces of the meteor that exploded in Russia are meteorites.
Generally meteorites are smaller than grains of sand and vaporize on passage through the atmosphere. But there are also larger meteorites.
Comets and asteroids are left over from when the solar system formed. There used to be more of them, but over time they've collided to form major planets, or they've got booted from the inner solar system to the Oort cloud or have been ejected from the solar system entirely.
3. Why didn't we see the Russian meteor coming?
Only one space rock that impacted the planet has ever been observed before it hit the Earth, Campbell-Brown said.
That's because objects that do hit the Earth tend to be smaller, and it's too hard to see them. The one sighting before impact happened in 2008, a day before a meteor exploded over Sudan.
Current estimates suggest that the Russian meteor was about 15 meters (49 feet) across, which is too small for telescopic surveys.
"Unfortunately the objects of this size have to be very close to Earth for us to be able to see them at all," Campbell-Brown said.
The asteroid that approached Earth today, which NASA has been tracking, is about 45 meters long, which is relatively small for an asteroid.
4. How does this compare to other Earth impacts?
The Earth picks up tons of meteoric debris every day, but big pieces are fairly uncommon, said David Dundee, astronomer at Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia.
An object the size of the Russian meteor comes in about once every 50 years, but none has been recorded since 1908, when an asteroid exploded and leveled trees over an area of 820 square miles - about two-thirds the size of Rhode Island - in Tunguska, Russia.
"This is the largest event that we know of that's happened since Tunguska," Campbell-Brown said.

Personal Note: I love to wear nail polish - Apple Green and Teal Green are my favorite Piggy Paint colors. I always use 2 coats of primecoat, 2 coats of color, and 2 coats of topcoat. And I only use Piggy Paint Remover, too. I dry each layer for 10 seconds with a blow dryer which helps the layers to harden. Color lasts perfectly for 1-2 weeks - and I use my nails hard every day! Please dispose of the toxic nail polish in your cabinet and switch to non-toxic nail polish. Safe for children and adults and there is no smell at all!

Posted Tue 11 Jan 2011 5.54pm by Richard
I love these chocolate truffles as they are proper truffles without all the vegetable fats that many have in them to give that creamy texture (often oily in the mouth) although I haven't given them the full 5 stars as I think the first part of eating them is a little bitter with the cocoa dusting, which I know is again the proper truffle way, but to my sweeter tooth a bit of an initial struggle. still faultless in flavour generally, personal taste aside.

Pyeloplasty is a surgery to repair the kidney. Specifically, it repairs a part of the kidney called the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis is a funnel-like structure. It connects the kidney to a tube called the ureter. This tube carries urine to the bladder.
Reasons for Procedure
Pyeloplasty is done if a blockage is found at the renal pelvis. This blockage prevents the urine from passing and makes the kidney swell.
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a pyeloplasty, you or your child's doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Hernia near the surgical site
- Damage to tissues or organs
- Persistent leakage of urine
- Blockage of the ureter
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
A physical exam will be done before surgery. The doctor may also require blood and urine tests.
The bowels will also need to be cleaned. Your diet will be limited to clear liquids the night before. Do not eat or drink on the morning of the surgery.
Talk to the doctor about medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen
- Blood thinners
- Anti-platelet medications
General anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep.
Description of Procedure
Pyeloplasty may be done using open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. A catheter will be placed to allow urine to drain.
During open surgery, an incision will be made in your side. The renal pelvis will be reconstructed. The blocked section will also be removed. The remaining healthy sections of will be re-attached. The incision in the skin will then be closed with stitches.
Laparoscopic surgery only requires a few small incisions. Special tools will be passed through these incisions to complete the surgery. The repair steps are the same as the open procedure above.
In some surgeries, a temporary tube may be placed in the ureter. This will allow urine to pass while the area heals.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2-3 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will block pain during the surgery. You may have some pain after the surgery. Your doctor will recommend medication to help you manage the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual hospital stay is 2-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise. The stay may be shorter if you had a laparoscopic surgery.
Post-procedure Care
You will receive medication to ease discomfort. You may have some discomfort the first few times you urinate after surgery. It is also common to feel a frequent need to urinate. It will pass.
- If you are sent home with a drain or catheter, it may be removed one week after surgery. If no catheter was used, a follow-up appointment should be scheduled after surgery.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- If you are given antibiotics, you need to take the full course. Do not stop early.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions for recovery.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medications you were given after surgery, or which persist for more than two days after discharge from the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Difficulty urinating
- Any symptoms like those you had before surgery
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

John Brennan may face Democrats' scrutiny
Oregon Senator says he will 'pull out all the stops'
As President Barack Obama's pick for CIA director heads to Capitol Hill Thursday for his confirmation hearing, some in the president's own party are threatening to hold up John Brennan's nomination.
Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden told reporters he would "pull out all the stops" to get answers about the legality of targeting Americans involved with al Qaeda overseas. Wyden was not satisfied with a confidential Justice Department memo that was sent to key congressional committees last year but only became public on Tuesday.
The 16-page white paper indicated the U.S. government could use lethal force against an American citizen overseas if the person is a senior operational leader of al Qaeda or one of its affiliates and an attack is imminent. But it was a policy paper rather than the official legal document, which the American Civil Liberties Union says is 50 pages long.
One of the questions the committee submitted to Brennan in advance of the hearing asked how it was determined that an individual was associated with al Qaeda and that a threat was imminent to justify military force. The question did not distinguish between Americans and others. Brennan responded in writing that those determinations were made on a "case by case basis through a coordinated interagency process."
Christopher Anders, the ACLU's senior legislative counsel told CNN: "Sen. Wyden was trying to find out that very basic information and has been denied that. So you know the most basic questions about a program that John Brennan has been the architect of and the orchestrator of for four years, the most basic details of it have been withheld."
The wind may have been taken out of the sails late Wednesday when an administration official said some lawmakers will have access to the Justice Department legal opinion. "As part of the President's ongoing commitment to consult with Congress on national security matters, the President directed the Department of Justice to provide the congressional Intelligence committees access to classified Office of Legal Counsel advice related to the subject of the Department of Justice White Paper," the official said. The president, it was said, is turning over the information because he believes the scrutiny and debate is healthy.
But there are other controversies Brennan faces at his confirmation hearing.
There is his role in administration leaks about covert operations like the so-called STUXNET cyberattack on Iran's nuclear program and a foiled al Qaeda bomb plot in Yemen involving a mole.
Brennan acknowledged in his written responses to committee questions that he voluntarily was interviewed by prosecutors about those two leak investigations. He said in both cases his counsel told him he was only a witness in those probes, not a target.
Senators also want to know what he knew about harsh interrogation techniques used on suspected terrorists when he was at the CIA during the George W. Bush years. Brennan, who was the deputy executive director of theagency at the time, said in his written responses that he "was aware of the program, but did not play a role in its creation, execution or oversight." He also said he privately discussed his objections to some of the program with some of his colleagues. Brennan promised "these techniques would not be used again by the CIA if I were the Director."
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said last month there have been contradictions in some of Brennan's statements. "He says that he had opposed 'enhanced interrogations,' or torture, but there are statements that clearly he made several years ago where he supported it," McCain said. "I'd like to see that issue resolved."
Brennan acknowledged in the questionnaire that he still needed to review the conclusions of the committee's 6,000-page classified report on the agency's detention and interrogation program before the hearing, and he may be asked to elaborate further on his response to a question about whether he thought coercive interrogations were "effective in producing reliable intelligence that saved lives." Although Brennan said he opposed the enhanced interrogation techniques, "a lot of information, both accurate and inaccurate, came out of interrogation sessions conducted by the CIA, including those where EITs were employed."
Outrage over the interrogation program scuttled Brennan's chances to lead the CIA in Obama's first term. But now he says he is ready for the political heat.
When Obama nominated him for CIA Director last month, Brennan said, "Although I consider myself neither a Republican nor a Democrat, I very much look forward to working closely with those on both sides of the aisle."
As the president's top counterterrorism aide, Brennan continues to be seen as all-powerful.
"I do think John is regarded in terms of the intelligence community, even where he is now, as the first among equals," CNN contributor Frances Fragos Townsend said.
As CIA director, Brennan would report to James Clapper, the director of national intelligence. But when there's a call for highly secretive covert action, he would have a direct path to the president, talking to him on the phone or walking right into the Oval Office to brief him.
"While the CIA director will keep the director of national intelligence apprised of what he is doing, it is actually the direct responsibility of the CIA director to respond to the president in terms of covert action," Townsend said. She added that she doesn't see foresee a problem because of their long-term relationship. "They know each other, they respect each other and I think they like each other."
As for the confirmation hearing, expect to see some Washington drama, but no state secrets revealed. Any discussion of intelligence crown jewels will happen afterward in a closed-door, classified session.
