An eleven-year-old boy has died after being bitten by his family’s pit bull in their own home in Killeen, Texas. Killeen police say the dog jumped down from the couch and went for Seth Lovitt when the boy was chasing his little brother Tuesday night.

The dog knocked Seth to the ground and bit him on the neck. The victim’s mother and grandmother restrained the dog and called 9-1-1. The boy was pronounced dead about two hours later at a local military hospital.

The dog has been quarantined.

In general, the population of the world is becoming more and more focused on health, and health related issues than ever before. Due to that fact, millions of people are starting to rely on nutritional supplements for their nutritional needs. Because very few of us actually eat the way we are supposed to, supplements are needed to ensure that our bodies get the nutrients they need to function and be healthy everyday.

Unless you like the idea of sitting in your doctor’s office often, you should take the time to take care of yourself, and ensure your health. Your body needs vitamins and nutrients for healing and protection from disease, so it is essential you provide them, either form your foods, or in the form of daily supplements. Supplements can also help enhance your immune system, boosting overall health, and helping your body is better able to fight off illnesses. The weaker your immune system, the more likely you are to get sick, and the longer it will likely take for you to recuperate.

Healthcare costs are rising everyday, due in part to the fact that people just don’t take care of themselves as they should, requiring more visits to the doctor, and boosting costs. If everyone became more health conscious, and starting using daily supplements, some of these costs would start to decrease. Nutritional supplements, when taken properly, can help reduce the rise of national

There are currently several supplements that have been approved by the FDA, and more that are expected to be added in the near future. The FDA is evaluating supplements, the cost of healthcare, and the cost of health insurance, trying to find ways to lower the economic strain that we are all under. The theory is that by focusing more on preventative medicine, particularly the use of supplements, these costs will drop dramatically.

One of the more popular supplements being used today is Vitamin C. This supplement have been proven to be a powerful antioxidant, and is currently being researched for it’s role in lowering the risks of developing certain types of cancer and even heart disease, two of the major killers in the world today.

For healthy skin, Vitamin A supplements are highly recommended. Vitamin E is also great for the skin, and has also been shown to help lower the risks of developing diabetes for some people. For those who are worried about the signs of aging, selenium is a good option, and it also helps protect against prostate cancer.

If you want to be healthy, and cut your healthcare costs, think about boosting your health with nutritional supplements! They really aren’t that expensive, and can go a long way towards helping your body get the nutrition it needs!

Rebecca Romero.

Who is she, and how did she row to cycling celebration?
It’s a great goal achievement story…

I like watching the Olympics, especially the sports where we do well(!), so was eagerly watching the rowing at the Athens Games of 2004.
We have a good tradition in rowing, remember Sir Steve Redgrave’s 5 Golds at 5 Different Olympics?

Well, one of Britain’s rowing medallists in 2004 was Rebecca Romero.
She won a silver.

Impressive?
Well, yes I think so.

A silver tends to get lost in the huge amounts of medals given out, but as far as I’m concerned, *any* Olympic Medal is worthy of note.

After winning silver though, she became disillusioned with the way the sport was run in this country, so gave it up, and after a period of reflection, decided to take up track cycling.

In early 2006 she sorted herself a practice at a track, you know those big banked ovals, and had her first self-confessed ‘wobble’ around the track.

A year later, early 2007, and she won silver at the World Championships!
She is now on course to be in the shake up for an Olympic Medal in 2008 in China!

Wow!

Obviously it’s rare for someone to win a medal in 2 sports, and it often tends to be runners transferring their skills to the bobsleigh, but it’s even rarer in the Summer Olympics, and if Rebecca manages it, she will be only the 2nd woman ever to do it!

As someone who loves both goal achievement and the Olympics, I can only wish her well and watch her progress keenly.

Her achievements have come about through setting goals, finding out how to get there, and putting in lots and lots of hard work.
Not rocket science, just effective.

So, next time you want to get something done, think of Rebecca Romero rowing to cycling celebration!

It all comes down to Tuesday for the five candidates left in the race for the two open seats on the Yuma City Council. In the general election, Yuma voters will go to the polls and decide who will be leading their city in the years to come. Whoever is elected, there will be a change to the face of the council. None of the three councilmen whose terms were up - Al Krieger, Scott Johnson and Gerry Giss - sought re-election. The four candidates who will appear on the ballot are Cody Beeson, Jack Kretzer, Raul Mendoza and Richard Ortega. There is one other person, Kathleen Neeb Deck, running as a write-in candidate. Her name will not appear on the ballot but she is registered with the Yuma County Recorder’s Office and has appeared with other candidates in public debate forums. Leslie McClendon won one of the council vacancies in the September primary election by receiving more than half the primary vote total - 62.5 percent Beeson, Kretzer, Ortega and Mendoza advanced to the general election because they received the next highest vote totals among the remaining candidates.

The Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy is preparing for the upcoming legislative session by traveling the state talking to public defenders, judges and politicians about its priorities.Kentucky Public Advocate Ernie Lewis was in Bowling Green on Friday, talking about the three priorities for the upcoming session: fixing the department’s chronic funding shortage, getting tuition forgiveness for public defenders and prosecutors; and reforms to the legal code.The judges in Warren County said public defenders were doing a good job locally, but that they needed more attorneys, Lewis said. The Bowling Green office, which serves Warren, Allen, Simpson, Butler and Edmonson counties, handled 4,357 cases in 2006.”Excessive caseloads are putting justice in jeopardy,” he said.During the last session, the legislature provided the office with additional funding for lawyers but not enough to provide them with the equipment and resources to function, Lewis said.The goal for several years has been to lower the average caseload for public defenders in Kentucky, he said.

The Long Walk, the instructors believe, will piece together all that is needed to accomplish it, rain or shine. This is through endless patience, determination and discipline to overcome odds.

Contemplating on this, I think that a lot of walking does a lot to ones’ psyche and recommends that most people do it often if participation in structured sports is not possible. For some reason, it hastens and clears up the thought process.

I’ve seen that most people are being alienated from walking as a basic form of exercise, what with the presence of jeepneys and tricycles at almost the smallest street corners. Add to that, most streets are unsafe nowadays.

I am not surprised that with most people’s refusal to walk tends to add to a sedentary lifestyle prevalent in society today. more

Real estate investing has a number of key terms used by real estate insiders to categorize various kinds of real estate investment properties according to the different goals a property might serve, on the method of acquisition, and based upon the holding period.

As a real estate investor, the investment property you currently own undoubtedly falls into at least one of the following categories and chances are you might not even know it. If you are not acquainted with these terms, then this one is for you.

Downside Risk

The downside risk of an investment is when the investment does not reach the potential the real estate investor expects. If you are about to purchase an income-producing property based on raising the rents in six months, the downside risk is that in six months the rents and monthly cash flow do not reach the level you are projecting. Obviously, each investor must decide what is acceptable to balance the upside potential.

Pattern of Growth

This is the trend of growth in any given area. It’s important for real estate investors to ensure that the income property acquired fits into the current and pending pattern. Purchasing an apartment complex 10 miles from the nearest shopping, for instance, should not expect to increase much in value unless you see a clear and present trend of growth toward that property.

Single-Purpose Use

Single-purpose use refers to one likely (or reasonable) use of the property due to zoning or building design. Land zoned for single-family homes, or a building clearly designed for a fast food operation generally fall into this category because the amount of money and time it would take to alter the property to accommodate another use would not be reasonable.

Multipurpose Use

In this case, zoning and building design add flexibility to the use of the property. For example, with the right zoning, an investor might purchase a house as a residential rental and then eventually demand higher rents by converting it into a medical or professional office.

Alligator

An income-producing property that costs more to hold than it benefits is an alligator (it just lays there and eats). Often tolerated in situations where the property value expects to increase, the investor agrees to accept a negative cash flow and thus to feed the property until it does.
