Childhood Obesity
In the past 30 years, the rate of obesity among children has more than doubled. The number one cause of obesity among children is linked to a caloric imbalance: calories consumed far outweigh the number of calories expended. Those reporting on this threatening issue, both private and public, are quick to play the blame game and point the finger elsewhere – i.e., access to technology. To combat this preventable disease, which is leading to more cases of Type 2 Diabetes among children and adolescents than ever before, communities must take a grassroots approach. Education at the elementary level; increased access to physical activity within the community including, but not limited to, sidewalks for walking and biking, parks and open fields for play, and youth sports programs are just a few ideas for a grassroots approach. Along with these community level approaches, individual households must also take responsibility, and action, to battle this preventable disease.

The General Services Administration has received the Small Business Administration's Administrator's Leadership award, which recognizes recipients' efforts and commitment on behalf of the minority small business community.
GSA received the award because it had the greatest percentage increase of spending with small and disadvantaged businesses from fiscal 2010 to 2011, an SBA spokeswoman said after the event. GSA also had the highest total of actual dollars spent with SDBs among the five agencies with the highest percentage of money going to that category of businesses.
In fiscal 2011, GSA was one of two agencies that received an A+ for its small business contracting efforts.
Last year, GSA awarded 19.2 percent of its contract dollars to SDBs, which is up from 13.42 percent in fiscal 2010. Its goal was 5 percent. More specifically, the agency awarded $669.3 million to SDB in fiscal 2011, albeit a decrease from the $1.088 billion it awarded in 2010.
SBA's small business scorecards.
The award shows the efforts of GSA's contracting community and agency officials' commitment to small businesses, Jiyoung Park, Associate Administrator, GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization, said Oct. 12.
"When it comes to small business contracting, GSA knows the value and savings these companies can provide to not only our agency, but also to others in the federal government," she said.
GSA's outreach programs help companies with one-on-one support, mentoring, and procurement assistance. These efforts have helped the firms successfully compete for government contracts.
To be a SDB, the company must meet a size standard and be at least 51 percent owned and controlled by a socially and economically disadvantaged person.

Iran, the US and Israel all stand to gain from an agreement on Iran's nuclear programme
Instead of spending money on elections that ring hollow, Bahrain would be better served if it managed to renegotiate a durable social contract and a political system based on inclusion
In typically delusional fashion, prominent New York Times columnist casts repressive emirate as a revolutionary force and model for the Arab world.
With a salary of $150,000 a year, a generous pension plan, a diplomatic passport and a car - typically a Mercedes or a BMW - a new crop of unknowns is flocking to politics. The fresh blood, however, is unlikely to reboot the stalled system
The most violent, unpredictable players of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are the most likely to fill a power vacuum left by the hesitating Israeli PM

Images from Bnei Torah synagogue remind Israelis of pogroms in Europe. It would have been easy if Israel could avenge itself. The problem is that it doesn't know how.
Iran is looking beyond the deadline and digging deep on the diplomatic front to prepare for exhaustive rounds of talks that will likely last years

Red Sox can't re-sign Martinez just yet

Originally written on Pro Football Zone | Last updated 11/17/14
According to ProFootballWeekly.com, a source has told them that Kansas football coach Charlie Weis may have a shot at landing a head coaching job in the NFL this offseason. "Charlie Weis is a name to keep an eye on. He had to go down to the college level to get a chance at a head job. … He's a great offensive mind. He understands personnel. Look at what he did at Notre Dame. They are playing for a national championship right now with players he recruited. I could see him getting looks for a few (NFL head-coaching jobs)." It surprises me that former Bill Belichick assistants like Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini have gotten head coaching jobs in the NFL while Weis hasn't. I think it will happen sooner or later.

Le Ginestre was a lovely place all round. Great pool, wifi access and a very warm welcome from Barbara. Having a washing machine available to do some laundry was very helpful so take a tablet or 2! Th… More
Dear Guest, It was a pleasure welcoming you in our farm house. The studio is effectively suitable for maximum 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. I agree with you that the sofabed is not suitable for 2 adults that's why we normally rent the studio to couples or small families with children. Maybe we will try to add air conditioning in the future although this summer was not so hot. Regards Romina

EU vote could cause business 'uncertainty', claims Cumbria commerce chief
Published at 13:45, Monday, 28 January 2013
David Cameron's decision to call a referendum on EU membership could cause "damaging uncertainty" to business.
But the Prime Minister's pledge to renegotiate UK membership is an "opportunity".
That is the view of Rob Johnston, chief executive of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.
Business leaders have been digesting Mr Cameron's comments last Wednesday when he promised to renegotiate the terms of the UK's EU membership then offer voters an in/out referendum.
This will take place after the next General Election, likely to be in 2015, if the Conservatives are in power.
Mr Johnston said: "It's to be hoped that the Prime Minister is doing this for the right reasons, not because he's under pressure from his party to be firm on Europe.
"The vast majority of foreign investment into the UK since the 1980s has been based on access to European markets, with investors seeing the UK as an attractive gateway to Europe.
"This is particularly so in the north of England where many traditional manufacturing businesses were based and where there's been significant change."
He added: "Whether to go for a referendum or not is a political decision, and we're not commenting on that, but the uncertainty is damaging and we have to be aware of the consequences for business.
"Clearly, it is sensible to want to see what a restructured Europe looks like before making a decision.
"We don't know yet what will be on the table and we should ensure we're in a position to influence.
"There is opportunity in change and the UK Government should seek to exploit that for the benefit of the UK, staying engaged and seeking to influence the future shape of Europe.
"If we stand tough and take a strong line, then we should be able to influence Europe for the better."
The employer's organisation the CBI takes a similar stance. Its director general, John Cridland, said: "The EU single market is fundamental to Britain's future economic success, but the closer union of the eurozone is not for us. The Prime Minister rightly recognises the benefits of retaining membership of what must be a reformed EU and the CBI will work closely with government to get the best deal for Britain."

Yesterday I remembered that sometime ago I found a discussion about which one of these powers is better, I chose magic because is pretty vast and almost all the time magicians are portrayed stronger than psychics. However, there are some psychic characters that make me think again which power is stronger because they have really high levels of power that make some magic users look weak, such as legion, shaman x-man, god-like cable and phoenix for example. So which power you consider it's better and why? Also which power you'd like to have?

Both are amazing powers to wield, but in the end magic wins. Psychic power is able to do a vast many things all of which make great powers on there own (I.E telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, astral projection, force fields, precognition, and mater manipulation via very accurate telekinesis) but magic is able to replicate all of these things and much more. For example as a psychic you could throw me in to a wall or make me think your not there, but as a magician i could make you a wall or curse you so that you and you bloodline can never again see me or any or my descendents. While a powerful enouph psychic can accomplish vertically anything and equally strong wizard can accomplish literally anything.
So it's really a matter or Will (Psychic Power) vs Imagination (Magic)
@nekoneko: Is that because of hereditary or having a lifestyle magic consumption. Psychic powers may not work on someone who eats enchanted veggies. It can be more than just be of food. It can involve with grooming with magical hygiene supplies or lived in a enchanted land.
Magic is not only psychic, but also has a closer connection with Soul Power as well, therefore Magic because it can alter your mind AND SOUL.
@Hazlenaut said:
Doesn't magic usually require ingredients, tools, say or perform something in order to do it. Psychic can be done my mere thought since it just mental.
@nekoneko said:
@Hazlenaut: Actually, powerful magicians don't need to use those things.
Hazelnaut is talking about Alchemy.
Alchemist are different than Sorcerers.
Alchemist usually perform magical effects through combining or using relics or other artifacts with a mixture of current science while Sorcerers create a magical affect through conjuring all powerful beings.

Magic is more powerful, because it has been shown to be above a lot of other powers in the Marvel universe, because it's not bounded by the laws of physic.
Look at it through this perspective. Dr. Strange vs All of the Infinity Gems. Be beat them all.

both max out at reality warping
I's personally take my chances with psychic powers, you can always make yourself stronger with them and the only sacrifice for the uber level of the power is strain in the membrane. Magics limit you quite a bit of things especially if you are not some chose wizard with natural talent above every one else. some have to have items like orbs, wands, staffs, amulets, etc to use their powers. Others have to sacrifice something usually important to gain strong magical properties like never being able to have true love because that violates some code to gain ultimate magic or you have to let some entity feed of you, be a host to some entity. You might not be talented enough use spells without chanting them which could be a big handicap against foes. Rituals are a hastle too if you have to get ingredients and make a little circle or whatnot as seen on Charmed and Supernatural. Yes, I'll stick to training myself to use my powers without much sacrifice in the hopes of getting uber strong eventually.
@Rumble Man:
Yes but generally, it's easier for a sorcerer or witch to develop reality warping powers, maybe because people tend to search a scientific explanation for psychics powers, which limitates them to "reality and its restrictions", while magic is used to break those restrictions.

I'm going to go with Magic, mainly because it deals with alternate realms and dimensions, and in theory a sorcerer could sit in an alternate realm and still do some pretty heavy damage, while a psychic would need them to be in the same reality. I could be wrong, mainly because each case is different. But if it were a straight fight against a sorcerer and a psychic, like Doctor Strange, Zatana or John Constantine, then its a matter of how fast a spell or enchantment can be performed before the psychic figures it out, because psychics are basically instantaneous (i.e. Legion, Jean Grey). I just view it this way, we all know what happened with the Scarlet Witch.

Recipe: Asparagus Chopped Salad With Meyer Lemon Dressing
This salad recipe is from cookbook author and Food Network star Bobby Flay.
Makes 6 servings
For the dressing:
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice, or 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 heaping tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the salad:
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 pocketless pita breads, halved and sliced 1/4-inch strips
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
6 ounces mesclun greens
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
8 ounces aged white cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 English cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup pitted and coarsely chopped Kalamata olives
1 cup drained canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained again
1. To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. The dressing can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated tightly covered.
2. To prepare the salad, in a medium saucepan over medium, heat 2 cups of the canola oil until it reaches 360 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. Fry the pita strips, in batches, until lightly golden brown and crisp, turning once, about 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a grill to high or heat a grill pan over high heat.
4. Brush the asparagus with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus, turning once, until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut on the bias into 1-inch-long pieces.
5. In a large bowl, combine the mesclun, tomatoes, cheese, cucumber, olives, chickpeas and asparagus. Add half of the dressing, season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Divide the salad among large dinner plates. Drizzle with more of the dressing and top with the pita chips.

How to Get Room Temperature Eggs
Need Room Temperature Eggs Fast? Here's What You Do!
by Katie Sweeney 4 Reactions 12 Shares Print
When I need butter to be at room temperature quickly, I grate it, but for eggs I use a different technique. I fill a big bowl with warm water, then I place the eggs gently inside the bowl. The key is to make sure that the water's not too hot; you don't want the eggs to cook. Let them sit for 10 minutes in the warm water, and they should be good to go. Have you ever done this? What's your method for bringing eggs to room temperature?
Cooking Basics

i usually just old them in my hand and run warmish water over them...it seems a lot of tips here are for the totally inexperienced in the kitchen..... i would also like to make a plea for common sense on the acceptable correct answers to all your quizzes....many people who answer correctly but leave out a hyphen or some other tiny negligible detail are always wrong. the fact is they are right...must yo be so anally retentive and strict here?! isn't this supposed to be fun and not frustrating? :).thank you.

For this weekend's challenge, we're supposed to post a blog about whatever. I'm not very good at whatever; I'd much rather have the "powers that be" give me a topic to blog about, like when we were in school and had to write an essay.
So, what I'm going blog about today is that I love being part of the Amazon Warrior team for the second round of BLC challenges but I wish that so many of the veteran members weren't struggling so much and I wish that other than being there for them virtually, I could help in other ways.
See, this is one of those times when teleporting would come in handy.
Teleporting is the one sci-fi invention that I most covet. If I could teleport, I could go to Barb's and help her or I could go to Julee's and help her or I could go to Linda's and help her, etc., etc., etc. (and of course, I'd go visit all the other Warriors as well because it would be great to meet them in person!)
Heck I could go and help my good friends, Ang and Cynthia as well from the Living With RA team (which by the way, I'm one of the co-leaders of although I spend so much time on the BLC stuff, I feel I don't give enough time to the RA team).
Teleportation is definitely the way to go.
Have a great day, everyone and
I�ve returned from Belize and I had a wonderful time. The pool was the best thing about the place as it was approximately 270 feet wide. I figured out early on that it took me 10 minutes to do 4 laps so every day, I tried to do at least 12 laps altogether. I could probably have done more than 4 laps at a time but I just didn�t have the interest to do more than that at one time.
Pool view showing the width
The one thing I didn�t know ahead of time about this resort was the length of time it took to get there. I had gotten up at 1:00 a.m. at home, picked up by the limo at 3:30 a.m. and boarded the plane in Toronto at 6:00 a.m. We were supposed to leave at 6:20 a.m. but the flight left Toronto an hour late at 7:20 instead of 6:20.
There was a stopover in Cozumel, Mexico and we were made to get off the plane so they could clean it and then we had to reboard it to get to Belize so we got to the main airport in Belize City around 1 p.m. And, then, much to my dismay, we were told that we were going to be flying from Belize City to Maya Village in a 12-seat Cessna! I hate flying and this was something that I wasn�t looking forward to (I�ve never been in such a small plane).
Cessna Caravan
Much to my surprise, I didn�t actually hate it until the descent started. It was then that it was buffeted about with some turbulence and I thought I was going to be sick. So, I just shut my eyes and concentrated on breathing. After we landed, I had a headache. The plane ride took about half an hour and then we were put in a shuttle bus and transported to the resort for another half an hour. We got to the resort around 2:15 and I was exhausted but we didn�t get our rooms yet. We were given welcome drinks and then shown the way to the pier to have some lunch. We finally got into our rooms around 3:15, at which point I had been travelling for approximately 12 hours and I was thoroughly exhausted. To no one�s surprise, I was in bed and asleep by 9:00 p.m.
Before, I left on vacation, I blogged about my plans while away and they were:
1. Exercise for a minimum of 1 hour every day
2. Indulge myself on the first full day (Tuesday) and then eat responsibly for the rest of the trip
3. Participate in as many of the BLC challenges as possible and record my points faithfully
4. Read a minimum of 5 novels
And, this is how I did:
1. The only two days I didn�t get an hour�s worth of exercise were the travelling days. On February 4th, I got no exercise although I did manage to get almost 8000 steps, which I thought was pretty good considering I spent a huge amount of the day sitting. And, on February 11th, I only got 40 minutes in because we had to leave the hotel at 8:30 a.m. for our trip home.
And, I actually got 2 hours on two days and 1.5 hours on a third day so I was happy with that.
2. The food part didn�t turn out so well as the fitness though. There wasn�t a lot of choice when it came to which dishes to eat. Each meal only had 4 or 5 dishes to choose from and only twice was there a green salad and once there was steamed veggies. The food served most often was different rice dishes and lots of chicken.
But, the good part was that the plates were huge and so typically, I didn�t go up for seconds. And, if you wanted dessert, most meals it was pineapple, papaya and watermelon and sometimes orange slices but a couple of times, they had different types of cake and I had that three times.
The best meal we had was grilled red snapper with coconut rice at the � la carte restaurant.
As for the drinking part, I had 2 pĩna coladas, 2 lime daiquiris and 2 chocolate monkeys plus one half-glass of red wine there.
The pool bar also delivered snacks to your chaise if you wanted to indulge. I had banana bread, nachos and pizza (all on different days).
3. I participated in all of the BLC challenges to the best of my ability and posted my points well within the deadlines. The hotel didn�t have a dedicated room for guests to use the hotel�s computers and I didn�t bring mine since most resorts do have this. However, I was given permission to use the concierge�s computer at the front desk after dinner on the days I needed to record my points and that�s all I used the computer for plus a couple of emails home.
4. I finished the 4th novel on the plane coming home. I didn�t reach my goal of reading 5 novels but one of the books was more serious than my normal reads and it took me 4 days to read. In my defence though, I also read 2 magazines. The books I read included:
� The Iron King by Julie Kagawa. This was a Teen Fantasy novel and it was really good. It�s the first book in a series and I can�t wait to read the next one.
� Snow Blind by P.J. Tracey. It was a good solid mystery and it was the 4th in the Monkeewrench series.
� The Villa Triste by Lucretia Grindle. This was the more serious novel. It was set in Florence in the 1940s and in present day (2006) as well. The present day story was a mystery that related to the events that occurred in the 1940s. It was really good and I highly recommend it.
� The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. This teen fantasy was quite good as well. It took me a little while to get into it but once I did, I could barely put it down. It�s the first in the Nicholas Flamel series.
I also played Scrabble with my dad every night before dinner and won 90% of the games and even though he was an English professor, he�s not very good at playing strategically although he's better than he was last year.
And, of course I had a few naps as well. On Saturday, my dad decided he wanted to go to town because it was market day and asked me if I wanted to join him. I told him �no� because it�s been my experience that town is always a lot hotter than the resorts and partially because there�s no where to cool off in town like the pool or some shade and also because most towns only have a bunch of touristy shops that sell a lot of junk. But, he went anyways and regretted it. He said that he walked through the town for the first half hour and bought some presents for his grandkids and then he had 1.5 hours to kill before the hotel shuttle returned for him, which he spent in a caf�.
So, I�m glad I didn�t go with him.
The high points of the resort for me were the pool and the chaises. These chaises were the best ones I�ve ever seen at a resort. They were wooden with nice, thick pads. In fact all the furniture was made out of good, solid wood at the resort and the room we had a separate bedroom that my dad let me have and he slept on the futon in the living area.
Picture that hung over my bed
My dad�s favourite points of the week included the dining room at the end of the pier that we took most of our meals at, the pool and the gardens plus the nice floral arrangements on the tables in the dining room.

The weird thing about this resort is that hardly anyone swam in the Caribbean Sea. There were rumours of stingrays, jellyfish and sea urchins so I decided to be cautious and avoided it but it�s really too bad because the Caribbean Sea is typically pretty warm and calm at this time of year.
The beach
So, that was my week. Sleeping, eating, swimming, exercising and reading. It�s a tough life, isn�t it?
My Dad and me in front of the hotel
So, I'm supposed to do a blog for the WC. Since I'm trying to do everything on it except for the items that you have to do all 4 days (I'm traveling tomorrow so drinking 8 cups of water, tracking food for all 4 days, no snacking after 8 p.m. may not be doable for all 4 days). And, this blog is the last item on that list.
So, I'm flying to Belize tomorrow morning at 6:20 a.m. and my plan for staying on track is:
- exercise for a minimum of 1 hour every day
- indulge myself on the first full day (Tuesday) and then eat responsibly for the rest of the trip
- participate in as many of the BLC challenges as possible and record my points faithfully
- read a minimum of 5 novels
That's it. No other plans.
Back in a week! I'll talk to you then.
This second blog is also for the BLC weekend challenge.
Before I joined BLC20, I honestly never thought I would reach my weight loss goal. I started at 264 in 1998 and have been trying since then to lose weight. I must admit that after 2004 when I got RA, I kind of stalled out on the trying thing because I was in so much pain that exercise got booted to the curb and eating healthily wasn't high on my priorities when high fat food was way more comforting.
That said, in Fall 2012, I joined BLC20 with the goal of losing 10 pounds but being happy with 5 and thinking all along that I'd be lucky to lose anything. But to my surprise, not only did I lose 5 pounds, I actually lost 8! So, now reaching my goal weight seems much more attainable. However, it's still a long ways away but I haven't given up.
My rheumatologist is thrilled with my weight loss (now more than 10 pounds) and told me to keep on doing what I'm doing so that's the first thing I'm looking forward to. Losing weight will take a lot of pressure off my knees and therefore, less pain (in theory) and if there's less pain then maybe I'll be able to be more physically active.
I'd love to be able to buy clothes anywhere and not just for plus-sized women. I'm looking forward to being able to sit in an airplane seat more comfortably.
But, honestly, the biggest change I hope will just be my health. I'd like to reach my 60s in the best health that I can have so that I can retire to an active and healthy life. I'll still have RA and OA but I can manage those. And, I have to remember that living healthily is for life not just until I reach goal.
I have my fair share of regrets but I must admit that I haven't held onto them. Life is about moving forward and not dwelling in the past. But, this is part of the BLC Weekend Challenge so I will put down one of my biggest regrets.
My biggest regret is that I stopped exercising when I got married. Before DH and I married, I weighed 130 pounds and to maintain that weight, I walked everywhere. I lived out in the country where a bus only went by our house once every 2 hours and once every 4 hours on holidays and Sunday so if you didn't feel like waiting for the bus, you walked.
The furthest I ever walked was 7.5 miles, which seemed like a lot especially given the fact that it was a hot July day. But, my best friend's boyfriend lived in Binbrook and she wanted to go to his house so my dad dropped us (her, me and her sister) off about half way there from our house and we headed off. It took us most of the day to get there as it was dusk when we arrived.
We (a different we) walked/hitchhiked 10.5 miles to Gage Park in Hamilton one summer night just for something to do. But, since there were 5 of us, rides were few and far between so there was a lot of walking. We had more luck getting rides home.
So, you see, walking was no big deal to me. But, when I got married, we ended up driving everywhere and hence no exercise.
I always tell my nieces and nephews to stay active no matter what and maybe that way, they won't gain as much weight as I did.

Cabrales Cheese Soufflés with Endive and Asian Pear Salad
Servings: Makes 6
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 ounces Cabrales or Maytag blue cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup packed)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- Endive and Asian Pear Salad
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Dust with flour; shake out excess. Place dishes in roasting pan. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup flour; whisk 1 minute. Gradually add milk and whisk until mixture is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk in egg yolks, pepper, and kosher salt. Cool soufflé base 15 minutes.
Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into soufflé base in 2 additions (mixture will be runny). Divide soufflé among prepared dishes. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake until soufflés are slightly puffed and golden on top, about 35 minutes (soufflés may not rise above rim of dishes). DO AHEAD Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Remove soufflés from water bath; let stand at room temperature. Place soufflé dishes on baking sheet and rewarm in 350°F oven 10 minutes.
Divide Endive and Asian Pear Salad among 6 plates. Place 1 soufflé dish alongside salad on each plate and serve.
