Moreover, researchers point out, although calcium does help build bone and retain it, the mineral is simply one factor in lifelong skeletal health. Some studies have found bone loss is slower in those who engage in such weight-bearing physical activities as running and walking. In one survey, women ages 35 to 65 who took a 50-minute aerobics class three times a week lost only 2.5% of the density in their forearm bones, compared with 9.5% for women who did not exercise.

The mere fact that the Democratic challenger, Francine Busby, a school board member, has made the race competitive indicates the difficulties that Republicans could face in trying to retain control of the House this fall. The G.O.P. nominee, Brian Bilbray, is a former member of Congress (and a surfer) with a conservative pedigree that might normally be a good fit for this San Diego district. But he is now a lobbyist - and since Cunningham went to jail because of favors...
