Tyus wins bank shot Corker to be named ranking member of Senate Foreign Relations Committee today United States Senator Bob Corker, R-TN, will be the lead Republican or “ranking member” of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for the 113th Congress. Corker’s appointment will be confirmed today during a lunch meeting of Senate Republicans and is expected to be ratified when the Senate passes a resolution officially organizing committees in the coming days. As ranking member, Corker will work with the chairman to represent the interests of his Republican colleagues and help carry out the legislative and oversight responsibilities of the committee. “I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the Foreign Relations Committee on behalf of the minority, and as we enter this new Congress, it is my goal to see the committee play a more relevant role in international relations and be a place where we look at our national interests in the context of the longer view,” said Corker. “I also look forward to working with the chairman and my colleagues on the committee to carefully review programs and practices at USAID and the State Department, which hasn’t been done in a comprehensive way in decades. This should include a top-
to-bottom review of all foreign assistance programs and State Department authorities to ensure that they are being conducted in line with American strategic national interests.” Corker has been a member of the Foreign Relations Committee since he entered the Senate in 2007. He has visited 48 different countries since taking office to understand the strategic relationships between the U.S. and other nations that are critical to the American economy and national security. Established in 1816 as one of the original standing committees of the Senate, the Foreign Relations Committee has jurisdiction over legislation concerning the conduct of U.S. foreign policy, including foreign assistance, treaties, and declarations of war, among other matters. The committee is also responsible for oversight of the U.S. State Department and review of executive branch nominations that carry out U.S. diplomacy, including Secretary of State and U.S. ambassadorships.

ASK OUR DOCTOR Some Answers to Frequently Asked Health Questions from First Care Medical Center
Horse Liniment Erases Pain HIALEAH, FL—An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in race horse legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical formula. According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, and more. ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301. Now at:
Garrick Clouden, M.D., Family Medicine “Improve your diet and get more exercise,” is something we doctors say repeatedly to our patients, friends, family, and even to ourselves about getting and staying healthy. Let me answer a few questions about exercise. Doctor, what is exercise? Any physical activity is considered exercise. But, running a marathon and changing television channels as activities have very different exercise results. Many have active lifestyles--chasing kids around the house, standing and moving at work for an entire shift, or even lifting heavy objects all day---are examples of activities that keep you active. Here’s the BUT. Your body is a smart technology that learns what is a routine level of activity for you and then it accommodates that level. So in order to make exercise a change to improve your health, you will have to do an activity beyond what’s normal for you. For the purposes of improving your health, then let’s define exercise as: An activity beyond your regular daily routine done with the intention of improving your cardiovascular health and to strengthen our body and mind. How much exercise do I need? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and muscle strengthening activity on 2 or more days of the week. The good news is that aerobic activity can be broken into manageable segments, like 10 minutes at a time, which will yield results and is a great way to begin. And, before starting any exercise for health, I recommend that you talk to your health care provider. How do I know if what I am doing is enough? You should be breathing a little harder than normal and some sweat is great. An objective measure is to make sure that your heart rate is between 50-70% of your maximum when doing moderate exercise. Your maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220 bpm (beats per minute.) For example, a 50 year old should have a heart rate between 85 and 119 when performing an activity of moderate intensity [(220 bpm – 50 years x 50-70%] What are some exercises I can do? Walking is great! However, remember you’re trying to get our heart rate up, so pump your arms and pick up your pace. Bike riding and dancing are also great, and swimming and running are examples of more strenuous activities.
