　***** 如果你的先生或男友和美女聊天，為了他的健康，請不要阻止。最新研究發現，和美女聊天互動，可提高兩項男性賀爾蒙分泌，有益健康。*1

***** "... .... .!" ---??? *101

... (To be continued .......) 　英國媒體引述報導，根據美國加州大學（University of California）對149名年齡在18歲到24歲男學生的研究，其中1/3的參與者與男性研究人員互動，其它則安排與18歲到22歲的女大學生互動。

　在5分鐘的談話後，那些和女學生聊天的受訪男學生，先被要求對這些女生的姿色評分，滿分7分，平均分數5.83分，顯示她們的外貌都屬於「美女」級。

　參與研究者在調查進行前，先用漱口水清理口腔，對照實驗結束後20到40分鐘，研究人員對參與者進行唾液採樣。

　研究人員發現，雖然只有短短的5分鐘，那些和女學生交談的男同學，睪酮（testosterone）分泌量提高14%，而有抗壓功R爾蒙可體松（cortisol）則激增48%。

　相對之下，那些和男研究員聊天的參與者，睪酮和可體松的分泌量，分別減少2%和7%。

　負責這項研究的羅尼博士（Dr James Roney）說，研究結果清楚顯示，和女性交談提高了男性分泌睪酮和可體松，這兩項男性賀爾蒙有助提高精力與注意力，同時可以緩和緊張情緒，健康效果佳。

<<< Handling Adversity
by Charles R. Swindoll >>>

*** Job 1-2, 42

***** Step into the time tunnel with me, and let's travel together back to Uz (not the wizard of, but the land of). Wherever it was, Uz had a citizen who was respected by everyone. Why? Because he was blameless, upright, God-fearing, and clean living. He had ten children, thousands of head of livestock, acres and acres of land, a great many servants, and a substantial stack of cash. No one would deny that he was "the greatest of all the men of the East." His name was Job, a synonym for integrity and godliness. *4477777

***** "... .... .!" ---President Andrew K. Benton of Pepperdine University PPAA Forum of WBTI/USA Distinguished Authors International Winning Yahoo! Mail AP LVRJ/wbti U.S.A.!!

... (To be completed ...) Yet, within a matter of hours, adversity fell upon this fine man like an avalanche of jagged rocks. He lost his livestock, his crops, his land, his servants, and all ten children. Soon thereafter he also lost his health.

The book that bears his name records an entry he made into his journal soon after the rocks stopped falling: "The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD" (Job 1:21).

Following this incredible statement, God adds: "Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God" (1:22).

The logical questions are, Why didn't he? What kept him from bitterness or even thoughts of suicide?

At the risk of oversimplifying the situation, I suggest three basic answers that I have discovered from searching through this book.

First, Job claimed God's loving sovereignty. He believed that the Lord who gave had every right to take away (Job 1:21; 2:10). Job looked up claiming his Lord's right to rule over his life.

Second, he counted on God's promise of resurrection. "Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh I shall see God" (Job 19:26). Job looked ahead, counting on his Lord's promise to make all things bright and beautiful in the life beyond.

Third, he confessed his own lack of understanding. What a relief this brings! He didn't feel obligated to explain why (Job 42:2-4). Job looked within, confessing his inability to put it all together.

He rested his adversity with God, not feeling forced to answer why.

When we're looking in all the right directions, we won't take the wrong turn. *4477778

A Matter of Obedience!!
by Charles R. Swindoll

<<<<< 1 Timothy 2:1-7 >>>>>

***** Leading can be awfully lonely and terribly frustrating. I haven't always believed that. Fact is, when I was a starry-eyed seminary student back around '59 and '60, I had this crazy idea that a leader lived a charmed life. Especially a spiritual leader. My fantasy included contented people, smiling and grateful; plenty of time to think, study, and do relaxed research; no financial woes; short counseling sessions with folks who were eager and happy to adjust their lives according to Scripture; untold energy; sermons that virtually jumped from the text, then into my notes and out of my mouth. No conflicts. No confrontations . . . no kidding! *5577777

***** "... .... .!" ---U.S. President Barack H. Obama at PPAA Forum on WBTI/USA through Yahoo! Mail AP LVRJ/wbti U.S.A. *44777

... {To be continued ...} You're smiling. (I told you it was a fantasy.)

It's amazing what four decades can do to a wastebasket full of theories. Today I would tell anyone thinking about becoming a spiritual leader to think again. It's not that they're not needed; goodness knows, this ornery planet of depraved humanity can always use a few more leaders who are Christian to the core. The problem is, it's a lonelier task than it used to be. And the frustrations can be downright maddening.

In the midst of all this, it always helps me to return to my "call." Thousands of miles away from home, stationed on a tiny island in the South Pacific, I distinctly remember the inner surge of assurance that I would be neither fulfilled nor happy doing anything other than ministry. It meant changing careers and returning to graduate school. It meant retooling my mental machinery for a lifetime of study. It meant living my life under the always curious and sometimes demanding scrutiny of the public eye, and, if necessary, being willing to go to the wall for the sake of the gospel. None of this mattered. God had spoken to my heart, and there was no turning back. It was a matter of obedience.

We must recognize that the Lord, our God, is responsible for our appointment to any place of leadership. Over all other suggestions and advice, we must seek to hear the counsel of Almighty God as revealed in Scripture. We must take refuge in and rely on the Spirit of God rather than our own flesh and skill. With our whole heart we must fear Jesus Christ, our Lord, and acknowledge Him as the sovereign Head of the church, deserving of our unreserved faithfulness, submission, diligence, and commitment.

For me, there are no other options.

It's a matter of obedience.

How about you?

Take refuge in and rely on the Spirit of God rather than your own flesh and skill. *5577778

Dear Fellow Nevadan,

I~{!/~}ve been working for months to pass a health insurance reform bill that will lower costs, expand coverage, and protect choice for Nevadans. We~{!/~}ve made great progress and I~{!/~}ve even begun to hear words of support from some Republican leaders across the country. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Republican Senate Leaders Bob Dole, Howard Baker and Bill Frist, and even President Bush~{!/~}s Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, are joining Democrats, doctors, nurses, hospitals and the American people in acknowledging that the cost of inaction is too great to ignore. *1

It~{!/~}s troubling that many Washington Republicans are blocking change while 220 Nevadans a day are losing their medical coverage. And families fortunate enough to have insurance will see their costs increase by more than $1,000 this year. That~{!/~}s why I am working hands-on every day with the White House and my colleagues in the Senate to ensure the bill we ultimately pass is good for Nevada. In fact, just last week, I struck a deal to bring Nevada additional funding that will help the state expand coverage to more than 200,000 Nevadans.

Earlier this week, a group of nurses and doctors from all 50 states, including Dr. Arezo Fathie of Henderson, Nevada, met at the White House to discuss the need for preventive care to help keep people from getting sick and the importance of keeping insurance companies in check so they no longer put profits ahead of patients. Insurance companies should not be allowed to discriminate against you because you got sick, happen to be a woman, or because you~{!/~}re getting older.

The time for politics and misinformation has passed, and now it~{!/~}s time to get something done for Nevada and the nation. Thank you for reading this update. Please visit my website for more information. *7

***** This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. *1

***** "... .... .!" ---??? *7878

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

"God or Almight!" ---??? *44777

... (To be continued ...) But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.

***** "Change! YES, WE CAN. Change for better -- Innovation. On the journey for achievement! Praise God!!" ---??? *88836

That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.

This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.

NEVADA NOT READY FOR AGING POPULATION

Jerry Johnson

Given the stateˇ３富s existing shortage of medical professionals, health care providers will be taxed beyond their limits to cope with the rising number of seniors. ¨ Nevada and the nation are facing an aging demographic tsunami〃, said Lawrence Weiss, director of the Sanford Center at the University of Nevada , Reno which helped compile the report that purported that Nevada is woefully unprepared to meet the demands of a growing elderly population.

From 2000 to 2004, the stateˇ３富s population of residents 65 and older increased by almost 20%, five times the national rate of 3.8%. Weiss said the population of seniors will continue to swell as baby boomers, those 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 age.

The 2007 report, ¨Elders Count Nevada 〃, is the first of its kind to focus on key health care indicators and other issues facing seniors. It was based on state and federal data compiled by the Sanford Center , the Nevada State Health Division and the Nevada Division for Aging Services.

The 2009 ASA-NCOA Conference Aging in America presented many topics geared to and related to health care. Sessions that I found particularly interesting was the Role of Older Adults in Advocacy for Health Care Reform and closing the gap in health disparities for older Americans. Reforming health care for older Americans is certain to be a major national priority in the next several years. But it is less certain whether older adults, especially vulnerable and disadvantaged seniors will have much of a role in the public debate. Discussed was what can be done to ensure that views and voices of older people are prominently heard and that they have a seat at the table as critical decisions are made about the future of chronic care, Medicare and Medicaid. Communities need to enlist and make sure that the large national organizations such as Health Leadership Council, Retiree Union Organizations and AARP have one message and we all are speaking with one voice including caregivers. Micro-targeting utilizes the experience that people have, whether with diabetes, Alzheimerˇ３富s, cancer, etc. Some think health care reform means you donˇ３富t have health insurance, but most do have insurance.

Minority elders are disproportionately affected by differences in access to care and are less likely to receive routine medical care. Eradicating disparities in health care is an on-going process that must continue through actions from a variety of stakeholders, including the aging community. Collaborative leadership must exist to reduce and eliminate the health disparities gap of chronic care versus long term care. The need is to develop patient education programs to increase patientˇ３富s knowledge of how to access care and make treatment decisions. This in turn will increase the life expectancy and improve quality of life for the elders.

Nevada needs to re-double its efforts to recruit health care professionals and produce more of them from itsˇ３富 own Colleges and Universities. Citing 2007 figures from the State Board of medical Examiners, Nevada has only 59 geriatricians, which translates to one geriatrician for every 6,417 seniors. There are critical shortages in most health care disciplines needed to serve seniors. As the population ages, the shortages will become more acute. All these factors are setting the sate for an aging perfect storm to hit Nevada .*3

***** Governor Jim Gibbons announced today his selections to fill two key positions in the energy field, the newly created Commissioner of Energy and Director of the Office of Energy. Dr. Hatice Gecol will transfer from her position as the Director of the Office of Energy to become the Commissioner. “I am pleased to retain the expertise and experience that Dr. Gecol has demonstrated while serving as the Director,” Governor Gibbons said, “Her background and planning skills are essential to our future success.”

***** "... .... .!" ---Dean Dr. Margaret J. Weber *3747

... (To be continued ...) The Governor said he is particularly excited about the appointment of Nevada National Guard Chief Warrant Officer Jim Groth, who will take over as the Director of the Office of Energy, “Jim Groth is a can-do kind of guy, Jim has a proven track record of working through bureaucratic red tape and getting things done,” Governor Gibbons said. Groth presently serves as the Nevada Solar Task Force Chairman and is a Nevada Army Guardsman. For the past year and a half, Groth has been serving as the Environmental Supervisor with the Nevada Army National Guard in Carson City.

In February of this year, the Governor selected Groth to head the Nevada Solar Task Force which assists military stakeholders in Nevada, state agencies, local governments and commercial businesses with initiatives to develop and implement renewable energy projects. Groth has been instrumental in helping the Nevada National Guard lead the nation in development of solar photovoltaic systems at the state’s Guard facilities. Groth’s focus in the last year has been the design and implementation of the Guard’s “Super Solar Project,” a 3.4 megawatt project supporting solar electrical energy at the National Guard headquarters in Carson City and at the two largest Army National Guard facilities in the state in Las Vegas. Construction for this project is scheduled to begin in November with system commissioning in March of 2010.

Under Groth’s direction, the Office of Energy will play a major role in putting into action the 2009 legislation enacted in SB 358 and AB 522 which will stimulate economic growth in Nevada.

Groth lives with his wife Carolyn in Carson City. He is a fourth generation Nevadan and has four grown children and three grandchildren.

Jim Brandmueller, who presently serves as the Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Programs Manager for the Office of Energy, will be the Acting Director until Groth fulfills his National Guard duties and takes his new position in November.*2.
