My 12 Lovely Lyrics for You
Love like there’s no tomorrow.
Laugh out loud and often.
Listen to your soul.
Lighten up!
Lean on a friend - that’s what they live for.
Look for the good in all things and people.
Live the dream you thought of when you were a child.
Lose anger and resentment.
Linger after church.
Light candles at dinner.
Lend your smile… it’s so amazing.
Launch your ideas with unstoppable force.
Wishing you a Great 2008!
With gratitude,
Mary Wozny

US New Home Sales - Down!
Sales of new homes plunged last month to their lowest level in more than 12 years, a grim testament to the problems plaguing the housing sector.
The Commerce Department reported Friday that new-home sales tumbled by 9 per cent in November from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 647,000. That was the worst showing since April 1995, when the pace of sales was 621,000.
Over the last 12 months, new-home sales nationwide have tumbled by 34.4 per cent, the biggest annual slide since early 1991, and stark evidence of the painful collapse in the once high-flying housing market.
That market has been suffering through a severe slump following five years of record-breaking activity from 2001 through 2005. Sales turned weak as did home prices. The boom-to-bust situation has increased dangers to the economy as a whole and has been especially hard on some homeowners.
Foreclosures have soared to record highs and probably will keep rising. A drop in home prices left some people stuck with balances on their home mortgages that eclipsed the worth of their home. Other home buyers were clobbered as low introductory rates on their mortgages jumped to much higher rates, which they couldn't afford.
With credit now harder to get to finance a home purchase, the problems in housing have grown worse. Unsold homes have piled up. The problems are expected to persist well into next year.
The housing and mortgage meltdowns have raised the odds that the country will fall into a recession. And, it has given Democrats and Republicans politicians— including those who want to be the next president — plenty of opportunities to spread blame around.
To help bolster the economy, the Federal Reserve has sliced a key interest rate three times this year. Its latest rate cut, on Dec. 11, dropped the Fed's key rate to 4.25 per cent, a two-year low. Many economists are predicting the Fed will lower rates again when they meet in late January.
The economy's growth is expected to have slowed to a pace of just 1.5 per cent or less in the October-to-December. Analysts believe that the housing and credit troubles will force consumers and businesses to tighten the belts, causing the economy to lose considerable speed. The housing slump has been a drag on overall economic activity, lopping more than a full percentage point off growth during the summer alone.
Prosperously yours,
Mary Wozny

Vitamin D and Endometrial Cancer
New research indicates that low serum vitamin D may be associated with an increased incidence of endometrial cancer.
The November 16, 2007 issue of the journal Preventive Medicine reported an association between ultraviolet light exposure and a reduced risk of endometrial cancer. Two previous investigations have already linked a lower rate of kidney and ovarian cancer with greater UV exposure, which increases the formation of vitamin D3 in the body.
Researchers analyzed data made available through GLOBOCAN, a database of cancer incidence and mortality in 175 countries. In general, the incidence of endometrial cancer was highest at the highest latitudes in both hemispheres. The correlation between low UV exposure and low vitamin D levels and endometrial cancer incidence remained strong even after adjusting for variables such as fat intake, weight, cloud cover, skin pigmentation and others. Most previous studies have focused on hormone levels and dietary fat intake and their role in the development of the disease.
This is the first study linking low serum vitamin D levels to an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Along with other preventive measures, vitamin D adequacy should be considered as part of a comprehensive program for prevention of endometrial cancer. Prev Med 2007 Nov;45(5):323-4.
