///////////////And the legendary Higgs Boson - an elusive particle theorised for over 40 years but never actually witnessed - is allegedly about to be tracked to its lair by CERN's atom smasher the Large Hadron Collider. What if after all that it isn't there? Is it so crucial to our understanding of modern physics that we'll need a mass bonfire of the textbooks? Susan Watts meets the eponymous Peter Higgs who may be about to look very clever - or not.

My only retort is that, slowly but surely, oncologists and we oncologic surgeons are getting smarter.
///////////////////////Buster Martin, United Kingdom's Oldest Employee at 102 Years Old
Posted: 07 Sep 2008 05:49 PM CDT
Still alive and kicking at 102 years old, Pierre Jean "Buster" Martin is considered the United Kingdom's oldest employee. He retired at the age of 96 and returned to work at the age of 99 because of boredom of retirement. He is still very active and works in a plumbing company as a van cleaner. He even runs in marathon for the charity. Making him also the world's oldest marathon runner.
Buster, a father of 17, was born on September 1, 1906 and has been working for over 90 years. At a young age, he joined the British Army as a Physical training instructor. He is a veteran of the World War II having served in the British Armed Forces and retired in 1955.
He says, he still smokes and drink to this day having been started the vice at age of 7. (I thought it's bad for the health)
buster marting, uk's olderst employeeBuster Martin was born in France but, as a result of his teenage mother's illegitimate pregnancy or death, was sent to a Cornish orphanage, when he was three months old. Martin says that he picked up his nickname "Buster" at age three for "whacking a priest on the nose". Martin was thrown out of the orphanage at the age of ten "for eating too much and growing too fast". He travelled to London, and found work running errands for stallholders in the Brixton market, the beginning of nearly 90 years of work.

"Walking Benefits"
Walking is my favorite activity/exercise. And it
is so important in any weight loss program to add
activity to your plan. That is, if you are
physically able. (Please be sure to check with
your doctor before starting any type activity.)
It is so great when an activity can benefit in
other ways besides our weight loss effort.
In a study by the University of Massachusetts
it was found that walking is a most effective
way to keep both your body and mind in shape.
The study also showed that five three-mile walks
a week increases HDL... or your good cholesterol.
Stops colds by raising your immunity-boosting T-cell
levels. Prevents osteoporosis by increasing bone
density. Improves memory by slowing the loss of
brain function while it boosts your creativity.
And... by walking four hours a week you can cut
your risk of breast cancer.
I belong to a breast cancer support group and our
speaker recently was a nurse who talked on
osteoporosis. She said that more women die from
osteoporosis related injuries than breast cancer.
She said walking three times a week along with
strength building activities can help prevent or
slow down the bone loss.
The weather is cooler in many areas, so put those
walking shoes on and head out the door! Lots of
great benefits to walking... including weight loss.
Here's to slimming down and feeling great!

From Chapter II: Sankhya Yoga
(Krishna speaking to Arjuna)
II.60. The turbulent senses, O Arjuna, do violently carry away the
mind of a wise man though he be striving (to control them).
COMMENTARY: The aspirant should first bring the senses under his
control. The senses are like horses. If you keep the horses
under your perfect control you can reach your destination safely.
Turbulent horses will throw you down on the way. Even so the
turbulent senses will hurl you down into the objects of the senses
and you cannot reach your spiritual destination, viz., Param
Dhama (the supreme abode) or the abode of eternal peace and
immortality or Moksha (final liberation).
