Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning, is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits (e.g., hyponatremia) by overhydration, i.e., over-consumption of water.

Under normal circumstances, accidentally consuming too much water is exceptionally rare. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests in which individuals attempt to consume large amounts of water, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet excessive amounts of fluid are still consumed.

Water, just like any other substance, can be considered a poison when over-consumed in a specific period of time. Water intoxication mostly occurs when water is being consumed at a high quantity without giving the body its proper nutrients it needs to be healthy. --Wiki

A recent study conducted at the Harvard Medical School in the USA claims to have come up with a good strategy to beat jet lag: don't eat during the flight.

The crucial bit of the puzzle is that viruses have to be caught from another infected individual and they are usually species-specific. Bacteria, in contrast, often just lurk in the environment (like tetanus), and may thrive on many hosts (as does bubonic plague, for example). The gregarious are therefore at greater risk than the lonely of catching viruses, and Dr Cole thus suggests that past evolution has created a mechanism (the details of which remain unclear) which causes white cells to respond appropriately. Conversely, the lonely are better off ramping up their protection against bacterial infection, which is a bigger relative risk to them.

What Dr Cole seems to have revealed, then, is a mechanism by which the environment (in this case the social environment) reaches inside a person’s body and tweaks its genome so that it responds appropriately. It is not that the lonely and the gregarious are genetically different from each other. Rather, their genes are regulated differently, according to how sociable an individual is. Dr Cole thinks this regulation is part of a wider mechanism that tunes individuals to the circumstances they find themselves in. Where it goes wrong is when loneliness becomes chronic, and the inflammatory response becomes chronic at the same time.

Before civilisation intervened, such chronic loneliness would have been so rare (because isolated individuals are so vulnerable to predation) that evolution would have ignored it. Now, paradoxically, the large population that civilisation makes possible means loneliness is commonplaceâ€"and with it consequences that natural selection, which is blind to the future, has not yet had time to deal with.

Steven Cole of the University of California, Los Angeles, thinks he may know why this is so. He told the AAAS meeting in Washington, DC, about his work studying the expression of genes in lonely people. Dr Cole harvested samples of white blood cells from both lonely and gregarious people. He then analysed the activity of their genes, as measured by the production of a substance called messenger RNA. This molecule carries instructions from the genes telling a cell which proteins to make. The level of messenger RNA from most genes was the same in both types of people. There were several dozen genes, however, that were less active in the lonely, and several dozen others that were more active. Moreover, both the less active and the more active gene types came from a small number of functional groups.

Broadly speaking, the genes less active in the lonely were those involved in staving off viral infections. Those that were more active were involved in protecting against bacteria. Dr Cole suspects this could help explain not only why the lonely are iller, but how, in evolutionary terms, this odd state of affairs has come about. For inflammation is an antibacterial response.

SCIENCE has many uses, but it doesn’t often produce handy pick-up lines. Recent work on the genetics of disease, however, suggest a way of opening a conversation with that solitary attractive stranger in a bar: loneliness can make you ill.

Lonely people, it seems, are at greater risk than the gregarious of developing illnesses associated with chronic inflammation, such as heart disease and certain cancers. According to a paper published last year in the Public Library of Science, Medicine, the effect on mortality of loneliness is comparable with that of smoking and drinking. It examined, and combined the results of, 148 previous studies that followed some 300,000 individuals for an average period of 7.5 years each, and controlled for factors such as age and pre-existing illness. It concluded that, over such a period, a gregarious person has a 50% better chance of surviving than a lonely one.

The historical little town's Main Street boasts the Niles Canyon Railway, offering scenic
rides through the canyon; an antique shop in an 1888 general store that burned in 1916
and was rebuilt; and a steak house and saloon thriving in a replica of an original 1862
Sunol building. But one of its more delightful "tails" is Mayor Bosco. In 1981, Sunol's
howling good figurehead was a local canine named Bosco, who was unofficially elected
mayor. Locals cheerfully accepted the good-natured ambassador, who, wearing a
specially made vest and badge, led all the marches and parades downtown. Bosco died in
1994 at about 13 years of age. Bosco's Bones and Brew Steakhouse and Saloon was
named in his honor. -- http://www.alamedacreek.org/

The small, rural town of Sunol located along Niles Canyon is well known for its historic railroad system, on which the tourist railroad Niles Canyon Railway makes an in-town stop and the Altamont Commuter Express passes en route to San Jose and the Central Valley.

The 2010 United States Census reported that Sunol had a population of 913. The population density was 32.9 people per square mile (12.7/km²). The racial makeup of Sunol was 780 (85.4%) White, 1 (0.1%) African American, 6 (0.7%) Native American, 48 (5.3%) Asian, 7 (0.8%) Pacific Islander, 19 (2.1%) from other races, and 52 (5.7%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 91 persons (10.0%). --Wiki

The rest of the news...



Final and executory

The document, signed by Deputy Clerk of Court Ma. Lourdes C. Perfecto, said that the high court’s decision had become “final and executory and is hereby recorded in the Book of Entries of Judgments.”

The action ends three decades of judicial battles over the SMC shares waged by the PCGG and representatives of farmers’ organizations in an effort to recover alleged ill-gotten wealth of Marcos and his cronies.

Lawyers acknowledged that the court’s move meant “everything is closed” to efforts to recover the controversial Cojuangco shares in SMC that farmers said were fruits of the tax on copra imposed for nine years during the Marcos regime and should be used for their benefit and not for private individuals.

Cojuangco, 76, acquired the SMC shares from the late Enrique Zobel in 1983. He was then president of state-owned United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB), depositary of the levy funds.

The court’s move came amid calls by reformists in the coconut industry on Mr. Aquino to move decisively and use the sequestered assets acquired with the use of a coconut levy collected during the martial law years to ease the plight of a quarter of the country’s population regarded as the poorest of the poor.

Critics have described the levy as the biggest scam perpetrated to enrich a few individuals at the expense of the 3.5 million coconut farmers and their families.

‘Joke of the century’

The petitioners had averred that Cojuangco violated a fiduciary trust and dipped his fingers into the UPCB fund that was created principally to address the farmers’ perennial credit problems that have put them at the mercy of loan sharks and usurers, usually traders who have controlled the industry since the martial law years and kept them impoverished.

Cojuangco allegedly took out loans from UCPB and credit advances from the Coconut Industry Investment Fund (CIIF) Oil Mills Group to acquire the SMC shares.

The court, in a ruling described by a dissenting justice as “the joke of the century,” said that the SMC portfolio “is the exclusive property of Cojuangco.”

An official valuation placed Cojuangco’s 494,881,157 common shares in San Miguel in January at P58,099,047,832 based on a share price of P117.40 per share. The price of an SMC share had reached as high as P180 on the stock exchange.

In January, the Supreme Court ruled that another 24-percent block of SMC shares belonged to the government because it was bought with the levy fund and must now be utilized for the benefit of the farmers.

Faceless, nameless

This portfolio was designated the SMC-CIIF block because it was  acquired under the CIIF in an elaborate scheme that included the formation of 14 holding companies arranged by Cojuangco’s Accra law office.

The Philippine Coconut Producers Federation Inc., or Cocofed, has filed a motion for reconsideration of this decision claiming the package supposedly for its 1 million members, that the court itself said were “nameless and faceless.”

The case is pending. Cocofed has been accused of misusing the fund, which became a wallet that financed profligate projects of the martial law regime.

This SMC-CIIF block comprised 753,848,312 shares. It was converted from common to preferred shares at the behest of the PCGG under the Arroyo administration in a deal approved by the Supreme Court in 2009 at P75 per share at a great loss to the farmers, considering the high price of the SMC stock on the exchange.

The official valuation of this package as of Jan. 20 was P56,538,623,400. SMC has the option to redeem the stocks this year.

Dividends alone on this SMC-CIIF bundle had reached P8.8 billion.

Multiagency task force

Fearing raids on the funds deposited in UCPB, lawmakers have filed bills creating a trust fund for farmers.

Malacañang also has created a multiagency task force to draw up a program to ameliorate the industry with the use of levy-related assets under sequestration.

Farmers groups have urged Mr. Aquino to issue an executive order to free up at least the P8.8 billion in dividends on the SMC-CIIF shares for urgent use in the industry that is reeling from dwindling harvests from aging trees, requiring massive replanting and the impact of climate change.

Motions for recon

Following the April 12, 2011, decision, the PCGG and former Senators Jovito Salonga and Wigberto Tañada filed separate motions for reconsideration, which were denied.

In August, PCGG filed an omnibus motion for leave of court to file a second motion for reconsideration, pointing out an erroneous premise in its original decisionâ€"the absence of a definition of ill-gotten wealth and the necessity of treating this issue as “sui generis,” or one of a kind.

Salonga and Tañada likewise filed a second motion for reconsideration.

The court “expunged,” or threw out the petitions.

Lawyers said that the court’s move was unfortunate, pointing out that the high tribunal’s internal rules allow a second motion for reconsideration “in the higher interest of justice” by the court en banc upon a vote of at least two-thirds of its members. They say that in a belated dissenting opinion, Justice Lourdes Sereno raised the possibility that compelling new evidence could prompt the court to revisit the decision.

3rd recon ignored

Salonga and Tañada filed a third motion for reconsideration last November that attached as proof of Cojuangco’s being a Marcos crony pages from the dictator’s diaries which clearly identified Cojuangco as “one of the congressmen close to [Marcos]” to debunk the high tribunal’s claim that the businessman was not a Marcos associate. This was likewise ignored.

Critics say that the coconut levy is the biggest social justice issue to confront the nation, affecting some 25 million Filipinos.
