With every step we take, our moving body puts pressure roughly equal to three times our weight on the knees and hips. As that pressure is distributed across those joints, cartilage is compressed, absorbing most of the load. And, as you might expect with something that resembles a damp sponge, water is squeezed out of the cartilage into the space between the bones. Once the pressure is released, the water flows back into the cartilage, carrying with it nutrients that were picked up from the synovial fluid, which fills the joint. This constant fluid exchange is critical to maintaining healthy...
...healthy bones--the kind that are least susceptible to the brittleness of osteoporosis--are at greater risk of developing osteoarthritis. (Nature is often just not fair.) Once again, doctors suspect that a complex interplay of mechanical and biochemical factors is at work. Strong, healthy bones can support a heavier load. They also tend to replace old bone cells with new bone cells at a pretty fast clip. But somehow the biochemical signals that are responsible for the bone's increasing turnover rate trigger even greater damage to the cartilage...
...correct the list, the crew flooded the portside tanks, but the increased load was too much for the hull, which began to crack open in heavy seas...
...FEES AND EXPENSES You will probably get the same deal or a better one in a merged fund, if only because fund companies don't want to add investor ire about fees to investor doubts about the wisdom of a merger. If you're a load-fund investor, staying put after a merger means you will not have to pay another commission on a different fund...
Sometime in the next few days the United Nations World Food Program will carry out one of its most unusual shipments ever. Under police guard to prevent looting by desperate locals, WFP workers in Zambia will load 18,000 tons of maize into waiting trucks. The trucks, which are normally used to ferry grain to refugee camps or emergency feeding stations, will then carry the precious food out of the drought-stricken southern African country and away from 2.9 million people facing starvation. This relief effort in reverse follows the Zambian government's decision in August to ban the distribution...
