Wanted: post-menopausal volunteers to scoff chocolate for a year! July 23rd, 2009 – 1:15 pm ICT by ANI – London, July 23 (ANI): Scientists at the University of East Anglia are looking for 40 post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes willing to eat two pieces of Belgian chocolate a day for 365 days- all in the name of research. The boffins are actually studying the possible health benefits of the tasty treat and need the female participants to test their specially made bars. Doctors want to see if the flavonoid compounds in chocolate can reduce the risk of heart disease, reports The Sun. In order to create the special “bitter” bars rich in flavonoids, a Belgian chocolatier has been called in. The pre-requisites for volunteers are – they must be post-menopausal, under 76, non-smokers, HRT and cholesterol lowering drugs free and have Type 2 diabetes.

Volunteers will also have to give blood and urine samples, have an ultrasound of their arteries and fill in a questionnaire about their lifestyle.

Stephon Marbury. LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics: Whose “Window of Opportunity” Is It?

What I’m saying is that your Mileage-logic makes no sence. Age is Age.Period. I would always take player that played heavy minutes over a player same age that didn’t play or was injured so his mileage is low.

Example: Yao played 15,000 career minutes vs. Kobe’s 42,000. And he’s 2 years younger. What does it mean – Nothing.

Matt. Cardinals land Holliday in deal with A

PHILADELPHIA – Matt Holliday wanted to join his new team quickly, so he hopped on a train with his wife and two sons and got to the ballpark in plenty of time. Holliday was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals from the Oakland Athletics on Friday for a package of prospects.

The three-time All-Star outfielder gives the Cardinals a big bat for their pennant drive and provides protection in the lineup for slugger Albert Pujols. Holliday was in New York for Oakland’s series against the Yankees when he learned about the deal. To avoid getting stuck in traffic, he chose public transportation over a car ride down congested I-95. “Getting from New York to Philly on a Friday afternoon can be tough,” Holliday said. “I’m extremely excited to be back in the National League, to be back in a pennant race.

Lottery. I would defend the charge.

There was plenty of cheating going on in college sports long before the change in the NBA rule. And there will still be illicit moves made in the game. But a lot of the implicit dealings of convincing these players that they have to be in college will be gone. • Attorneys have muddled up plenty of these cases, too, lately. If your son was accused of cheating on an SAT or ACT, what would you do? I know what I would say.

I would stand up so everyone could hear that my son was at the testing site on this date, at this location, wearing these clothes, sitting next to a person who looked like X. I would defend the charge. I would make sure everyone knew my son was there and took the exam. Yet no one from Derrick Rose’s camp has said anything close to this. Instead, the comment from Rose’s attorney to The Associated Press was this: He cooperated in the investigation of the SAT allegations while at Memphis and “that investigation uncovered no wrongdoing on his part.” That’s not enough.

Joint Strike Fighter. State winces as Senate drops F

The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to halt production of the Air Force’s missile-eluding F-22 Raptor fighter jets, whose F119 engines are built by Connecticut-based Pratt & Whitney. The 58-40 vote was a high-stakes showdown over President Barack Obama’s efforts to shift defense spending to a next generation of smaller, single-engine F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.

Pratt & Whitney spokesman Matthew Perra said the F119 program represents 2,000 to 3,000 jobs with the company and its suppliers. If no additional F-22 aircraft are ordered, Pratt & Whitney would be required to halt orders from suppliers within months, he said. It was the second blow Tuesday for P&W workers, who heard the company is considering closing its Cheshire plant. “This is not good news.
