      - Department of the Interior at about $1.05 billion, which is $15 million above the President's budget request and $27 million below fiscal year 2012. Within this funding is an appropriation for the Bureau of Reclamation, under which $36 million is allocated for the California Bay-Delta Restoration project and $40 million for the Central Valley Project Restoration Fund.

(Awesome, awesome article!  It is a known fact that cancer cells thrive in acidic environments (pH levels), and that well-oxygenated cells deter cancer cells.  While you may have genetic predispositions to cancer in it's various forms, Alkaline pH and oxygenated cells help the immune system prevent genetic predispositions from materializing.)
