Calcium Supplements

Did you know that men as well as women should take calcium supplements? Your bones start losing calcium at an early age and by the time you are 70 or less, you could be subject to osteoporosis like me. I should have been taking calcium supplements a long time ago. My doctor recommended that I take them 2 or 3 times a day but she did not say which kind to take. When I went to the store, I found a shelf full of them. Then someone told me calcium can give you kidney stones if you get the wrong kind. What was I to do? As usual, I got on the computer to find out which calcium supplements would be the safest and do the job for me. I found companies have already done the work for me and checked out the ingredients and found the top 5 that are more easily absorbed by the body and will do me the most good. I was surprised at all the information I learned and was so glad I checked them out before just buying something off the shelf at the store.

Meteorologists Oppose FAA Cutback Plan

News out of Miami, Florida says that the National Weather Service employees are balking at a cost-cutting proposal that would pull meteorologists out of all 20 air-traffic control centers across the country. They feel if this happens, people are going to die. It is as simple as that. Dan Sobien, president of the union that represents weather service workers says it is as simple as that.

The Federal Aviation Administration pays for 84 weather service employees stationed in air-traffic centers. Meteorologists would be moved to two central forecasting locations in Kansas City and outside Washington. The workers have worked side by side with air-traffic controllers since l978 after the National transportation Safety Board ruled that a crash the previous year was because flight crews could not get quick updates on hazardous weather. Doesn't it sound like a bad idea to you to move these meteorologists? We need all the help we can to keep those planes safely in the air.
