Former members were Annika Kjærgaard and Magnus Carlsson. Their first single, "Shine On", was successful in Sweden but it was with their second release, "Crying At The Discoteque", that they achieved success charting in most European countries including USA, Australia, Brazil, and Japan. Both singles appeared on their debut album Casino. Later editions of Casino contained a cover of the Human League hit "Don't You Want Me", which also was the album's third single. Worldwide Alcazar had sold records over 12 million between 2001 and 2004.

The first disc features 12 brand new tracks like, "We Keep on Rockin´", "Burning", "Harlem Nights", "Stay the Night" etc. The second disc remembers 11 best of songs, among them "Crying at the Discoteque", "This Is The World We Live In" and "Don't You Want Me".

PSA Sunday: Hispanic Preventive Health
Sponsor Organization: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

Hispanics are 38% less likely than non-Hispanics to have visited the doctor within the past year, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. In addition, more than a quarter of Hispanic adults have never had their cholesterol checked, two-thirds of Hispanics over 50 have never had a colonoscopy, and nearly 54 percent of Hispanic women over 40 have not had a mammogram within the last year.
The fact that one-third of U.S. Hispanics are uninsured, along with linguistic and cultural barriers, plays a role in these disparities, as shown in AHRQ’s recent National Healthcare Disparities Report. Studies have found that Hispanics often lag behind the general population in access to preventive care even when they are insured.

www.smallstep.govVolunteer Agency: McCann-Erickson New York
Nearly two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese due to sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits. Obesity rates have increased by more than 60% among adults over the last 10 years. As a result, the health of the nation is getting progressively worse with consequences including increased risk for heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.
When it comes to losing weight and fighting these diseases, many don’t realize that seemingly difficult behaviors such as eating healthy and exercising regularly can be made easier and attainable through small changes to their everyday lives. There are hundreds of small steps that Americans can incorporate within their busy lifestyles to begin moving themselves and their families toward health.
More than 100 Small Steps can be found at the website, here's just a few of them:
* Take the stairs instead of the escalator.
* Try smaller sized items when snacking or eating out.
* Get of the bus a stop early and walk.
* Portion out your snack on a plate, not from the bag.
* Park farther from your destination and walk.
* Order your latte with fat-free milk.
