Even if you wear sunscreen faithfully, you should check regularly for signs of skin cancer. Warning signs include any changes in the size, shape, color, or feel of birthmarks, moles, or freckles, or new, enlarging, pigmented, or red skin areas.

Most Heavy Drinkers Are Not Alcoholics
Most Heavy Drinkers Are Not AlcoholicsMost people who drink to get drunk are not alcoholics, suggesting that more can be done to help heavy
The finding, from a government survey of 138,100 adults, counters the conventional wisdom that every falling-down drunk must be addicted to alcohol. Instead, the results from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health show that nine out of 10 people who drink too much are not addicts, and can change their behavior with a little or perhaps a lot of prompting.
Many people tend to equate excessive drinking with alcohol dependence,’’ sad Dr. Robert Brewer, who leads the alcohol program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We need to think about other strategies to address these people who are drinking too much but who are not addicted to alcohol.
Excessive drinking is viewed as a major public health problem that results in 88,000 deaths a year, from causes that include alcohol poisoning and liver disease, to car accidents and other accidental deaths. Excessive drinking is defined as drinking too much at one time or over the course of a week. For men, it’s having five or more drinks in one sitting or 15 drinks or more during a week. For women, it’s four drinks on one occasion or eight drinks over the course of a week. Underage drinkers and women who drink any amount while pregnant also are defined as “excessive drinkers.”
Surprisingly, about 29 percent of the population meets the definition for excessive drinking, but 90 percent of them do not meet the definition of alcoholism. That’s good news because it means excessive drinking may be an easier problem to solve than previously believed.
Studies show that simply raising the price of an alcoholic beverage by 10 percent reduces alcohol consumption by 7 percent, suggesting that higher taxes on alcohol could make a significant dent in excessive drinking. Zoning laws that reduce the number of establishments that serve alcohol in a given area can also curb excessive drinking. Importantly, a simple intervention by a physician, talking to patients about their alcohol use, has also been shown to help people make better choices and curb excessive alcohol consumption.
Ad campaigns, like a 2010 New York City initiative called “Two drinks ago,” also may help. In the New York campaign, posters showed a well-dressed woman slumped and drunk and a young businessman bleeding and bruised. The posters read, Two drinks ago you could still get yourself home, and Two drinks ago you would have walked away.” The tagline was “Stop drinking while you’re still thinking.”
Dr. Brewer noted that excessive drinking is still a challenging problem, but it is not as difficult to address as alcohol addiction can be.
I don’t want to minimize the fact that excessive drinking can be a difficult behavior to change even in those people who are not alcohol dependent,’’ said Dr. Brewer. So many of the cues people get about drinking behavior in our society are confusing. People think drinking to get drunk is part of having a good time.
drinkers cut back, a new government report concludes.

Health Computer related injury
There are several ways that use of a computer can affect your health.
Overuse injuries
You can develop overuse injuries from playing games or sitting at the computer too long.
The main symptom is pain on making certain movements.
It usually happens due to repeating the same physical movement over and over eg. clicking a mouse button.
For gamers or heavy computer users, it's common to get in the wrist. This results from the tendons in the arm and wrist being overworked, causing the tendons and the tissue covering the tendons to become inflamed and sore. Sometimes computer users can get other overuse problems such as neck pains or tingling in the fingers.
There are a number of ways to deal with the problem.
The obvious way is to stop using the affected part of the body. This may require swapping the computer's mouse to the opposite hand, or taking regular breaks.
You could have a look at the ergonomics of your computer setup the position of the keyboard, screen, mouse and chair. Some adjustments may be required.
If you have pain that won't go away, you should see your doctor.
