Earth is nearest to the sun Despite Itah'scold December and January temperatures, on Friday. Jan 3 at 10 p.m. L'tah and the rest of the earth will he as close to the sun as we're going to get this year. While it may seem odd that we're having ourrolder temperatures when we're closest to the source of the heat, there is a simple explanation," says NASA Solar System Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins. The difference between furthest and closest is actually pretty small, so the change in distance from the sun has little effect on Earth's temperatures. Rather, the real culprit is the tilt of the earth. Many might remember from days in school that the teacher's earth globe was always tilted, and that's the way it really is. It is tilted about 23 degrees from straight up. During this time of year." explains Wiggins. we in Utah are t ilted away from the sun, meaning the sun is lower in our sky and doesn't stay in the sky nearly as long as it does in the summer. This can make for some short, frigid days." Conversely, during the toasty days of July, the earth is actually furthest from the sun. But we're also tilted towards it. so the sun is high in our sky and stays there a lot longer. "Happily." jokes Wiggins, for those who don't like the current season there is a simple fix. One need only head for the southern hemisphere where the seasons are just the opposite of what we have here and the water skiing is pretty good just now."

Other benefits include higher humidity, added color and healthier air in the home. Aromatic house plants can introduce new fragrances that help bring a glimpse of spring into the home. They can also help mask cooking and ot her odors, eliminating the need for air fresheners. Consider these plants to help spruce up your home this winter. Scented geraniums. These are probably the most popular fragrant house plant. They do not thrive indoors, but stay healthy if placed in a well-l- it location. They also come in a wide assortment of aromas. Among the most popular are lemon, almond, pine tree, peppermint, orange. pineapple and even chocolate. One of the drawbacks with some scented geraniums is that the scent is weak. Some require that you rub the leaves to get a strong whiff ofthe fragrance, which can be a problem since most plants can only stand so much rubbing before they die. The foliage of scented geraniums is what carries the pleasant aroma. These geraniums need to dry out between watering and should be fertilized only about once a month during the winter. In the summer they can be moved outdoors to bloom. Gardenias. These are another blooming, aromatic house plant Gardenias require a sun room and do best in indirect light. They can he a high maintenance plant since they need to May cool at night (55 to 60 degrees) in the winter. Lack oflight is the biggest problem with getting a gardenia to grow and bloom indoors.

These flowering plants maybe easier to grow in the house, though they all require special care. They bloom better in indirect light in a sun room or other well-l- it location. They all should be allowed to slow down and rest during the winter by reducing fertilization and keeping them somewhat cooler.

Mammogram images can detect calcifications in breast arteries that may indicate an increased chance of developing heart disease, according to the Mayo Clinic study of 1.803 women. Women withbreast-artei- y were 20 percent more likely to have heart disease than those without calcifications, the researchers found. The abnormalities show up as distinct white lines on mammogram images and should not be confused with other types of beast calcifications that may be insignificant or, in some cases, malignant, the researchers said. Pretty much every radiologist can tell the difference; it's not a difficult distinction. said lead author Dr. Kirk Doerger, a Mayo Clinic radiology Still, radiologists generally thinking cancer- - not heart are disease-wh- en they analyze mammograms. The reason why mammograms are done is for cancer detect ion. This is just an extra piece of information that could help discover women who are at increased risk of having narrowing in the arteries suppl vinglheir heart." Doerger said. His research was to be presented Wednesday in Chicago at the Radiological Society of North America's annual meeting. More than 350,000 U.S. women die of heart disease each vear, compared with about 40.000 who die from breast cancer. Yet many women believe breast cancer is a risk and may not know they greater have heart disease, underscoring the need for better detection methods, the researchers said. They reviewed mammograms for patients who'd also undergone angiograms- - imaging tests to detect heart disease- - at the Mavo Clinic from 1991 to 2001. POOi |
