More info visit www.newsinfusion.com September 2nd 2009 -Rising commodity prices for metals, combined with the crisis in the housing market, have created a unique opportunity for thieves who are stealing scrap metal from abandoned and foreclosed homes and selling the material to unwitting recyclers. Thieves have also created public safety hazards by targeting public sources of valuable metals, such as manhole covers, traffic lights and telecommunications and electric infrastructure. Because in many cases the recycling facilities were taking the heat for accepting the stolen materials, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI), the national trade association for the $87 billion industry, began working aggressively to combat the theft problem by creating coalitions with local law enforcement agencies.

In addition, widespread wildfires this past year have burned more than 1.6 million acres of land in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Wildfires leave the ground charred, barren and unable to absorb water. This substantially increases the risk for severe flooding and mudflow.

DALLAS (January 7th) - Just in time to help you keep your New Year's resolution, the American Heart Association has created an online community of virtual walking buddies, or "sole-mates". The MyStart! Online Community encourages walkers to connect with others - whether from the neighborhood or on the other side of the country - to stay on track with a walking program. "For some time, research has indicated that individuals are far more likely to stick with an exercise regimen if someone else is counting on them," said Timothy Gardner, M.D., president of the American Heart Association, alluding to a recent survey that revealed American adults are 76 percent more likely to walk if someone else is counting on them.

The mother of Shannon Miller – an Olympic gymnast – was one of them. Yet, the disease is entirely preventable. Cervical cancer is caused by “high-risk” types of HPV, a virus as common as the cold.
