The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hereby withdraws a proposed rule published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2011, that was intended to amend the Schedule for Rating Disabilities; The Digestive System. VA has determined, after conducting extensive medical research, the existence of new medical advances that more accurately and comprehensively address the current medical criteria, terminology, and science related to the digestive system. Therefore, the proposed rule is in part based upon outdated and partially incomplete or irrelevant information.
Watching 5-year-old Emma Mack screech and giggle while she chases her 1-year-old sister Abby around her family's West Newton home, it's hard to tell Emma was born with a life-threatening disease.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A young emperor penguin stranded in New Zealand has survived two medical procedures and now has an offer of a lift home.

I got in front of the kids and I told them, 'I'm terrified,'" said Rife.
Don't let the heat get the best of you while you are exercising. With temperatures in the Inland Empire consistently above 90 degrees and often hitting triple digits in the summer and early fall months, it is crucial that you maintain proper hydration while exercising. Water is considered one of the most vital components of the human body. Most people would die within three to seven days without water. Whereas, people can survive weeks without food, as long as they have water. Water composes more than 50 percent of our bodies; as well as 75 percent of all muscle tissue, 10 percent of fatty tissue, regulates the body's temperature, protects and cushions vital organs, lubricates joints, aids the digestive system, transports nutrients within each cell and dispels waste.
