Bisphenol A, or BPA for short, has been in the spotlight for decades, with both the chemical industry and occasionally the federal government touting its safety, while independent, non-industry funded scientific studies show us how dangerous the chemical truly is. The latest news regarding BPA is no different, with new independent studies showing that the common chemical has the potential to increase the risk of breast cancer when exposure occurs in the womb.

BPA is a common chemical used primarily in the production of plastics, such as baby bottles, canned goods (lining the inside of cans), soda bottles, and other common plastic goods that typically hold food or beverages (although it is found in countless other polycarbonate plastic products, including medical devices). It helps preserve the life of perishable goods, but comes at a dangerous cost to human health.

The chemical easily leaches out of plastic,

With all of the setbacks, distractions and negativity surrounding us today, it is easy to lose sight of our goals. Remind yourself that you only have one life to live and that you are worthy of happiness. What is holding you back from feeling beautiful and living a beautiful life? Change your attitude and start focusing on all of the positive things that you have to offer and all of the great things that are around you. You don't ever want to look back on your life with regrets, wondering how things could have been. Write down what you cannot change- for instance, how tall or short you are or what kind of family you were born into - and learn to accept it. Then, write down the things that you CAN change, focus on them, and take action. Find motivation, surround yourself with good people and start taking initiative to feel and live a beautiful life. http://www.FedeBelle.com/

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (beats by dre ) Always a team-first guy, Tyson Chandler had one individual goal.

He finally won that Defensive Player of the Year award he coveted Wednesday, rewarded for his part in turning the New York Knicks from one of the league's worst into a solid defensive team.

（beats by dre ）''I think that's a lot of why I'm getting the recognition, is because I'm kind of able to change the culture, I've been able to change the culture along with my teammates and coaching staff,'' Chandler said.

Chandler beat out Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka and three-time defending champion Dwight Howard of Orlando to become the first Knicks player to win the award.

The Knicks ranked in the NBA's top 11 teams in both opponents' field goal percentage and points allowed. They gave up an average of 94.7 points, an improvement of 11 per game from the 105.7 they surrendered in 2010-11, when they tied for 27th in the league.

MONTREAL (beats by dre ) Michel Therrien is coach of the Montreal Canadiens again, a home-grown product who rejoins a storied franchise that fell to last place this season and angered many Francophone fans across Quebec over a previous coaching hire.

Therrien, a Montreal native, succeeds Randy Cunneyworth. He coached the Canadiens from 2000 until he was replaced by Claude Julien in 2003.

The announcement Tuesday ended weeks of speculation over the choice by new general manager Marc Bergevin. Former NHL coach Marc Crawford and the popular former goaltender Patrick Roy, now coach and general manager of the junior Quebec Remparts, were also believed to be top candidates.

Therrien has been working in television since he was let go by the Pittsburgh Penguins a few weeks before their run to the Stanley Cup in 2009. He inherits a Canadiens team that went 31-35-16 this season, finished last in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007.

I'd go for the parfait, thank you very much. Perhaps my choice isn't surprising, considering I spend most of my time trying to resist dessert or chastising myself for indulging. And it looks like I'm not alone.
