It's the most park-poor ZIP code in Orange County, but in one tiny corner of 92701 in Santa Ana this week, hundreds of neighborhood children finally climbed a jungle gym, shot a basket or just sat on the grass.
Ten years in the making, the opening of the half-acre Green Heart Park & Community Center near the intersection of East Fourth and French streets was celebrated by Latino Health Access over last weekend.
"This is just the beginning," said Dr. America Bracho, executive director of Latino Health Access. Within its first week, at least 1,000 children and adults from the area are expected try out the play equipment or see what classes are available in the recreation center. "It's a very grass-roots project, and it needs grass-roots answers."
Read the original story on The Futuro Media Group's website here.
Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the US after cigarette smoking. Latinos are especially hard hit, developing diabetes and other obesity related health problems at high rates. Reporter Nova Safo visits the predominantly Latino city of Santa Ana, California to see how biology, economics and environment all contribute to the problem.

Nova Safo is a Los Angeles-based reporter who covers a wide variety of topics ranging from the Hollywood entertainment industry, to visual arts, culture, politics, policy, health, science, the future of energy, economics, and the occasional massive wildfire.
His reporting has been heard on NPR's various newsmagazines and other public radio programs, and published online by Yahoo! News and others. He is the recipient of Hearst journalism awards for radio reporting, as well as an NLGJA/RTNDA award for excellence in online journalism.

The toll an overweight society pays is large, especially for children. For a look at an Orange County teen who lost weight thanks to this program, click here
By COURTNEY PERKES / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
In an HBO documentary airing this month, America Bracho watches as chubby children play on an asphalt parking lot because they have no grassy park in their Santa Ana neighborhood. In another scene, her voice chokes with emotion as she talks with a mother worried about the obesity epidemic.
Bracho, executive director of Latino Health Access and a physician in her native Venezuela, is featured prominently throughout the four-part series, "The Weight of the Nation," which premieres Monday. The series was made in conjunction with the Institute of Medicine and offers an alarming look behind the statistics that two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.

"The variety to choose from was amazing! I love the one I choose. The picture is bright and clear and matches great with the bottom part with the writing, which is clear and easy to read. These were super easy to order and got them quickly. What more could you ask for?"
"Everything turn out beautiful, the picture , the quality it outstanding , fast and easy to order, i have to reorder more and costumer service is just wonderful to talk too."
"I ordered these and expected them to come in within two weeks, which was pushing it for the amount of time I had to get them mailed out before graduation. However, even with the changes I made after ordering they still arrived about 5 days before expected! Love how they came out and how my personal desinger went back and forth with me until the card was perfect."
"Everyone had wonderful things to say about our son's graduation announcement. I'm having friends call this year to ask where I got them and I"m sending them here."
"My son loves this card, particularly as the green/gold color combination option reflects his school's colors. Using regular shipping, the order was on our doorstep in 2 1/2 days--remarkable as alleged "overnight" mail takes 2-3 days to receive in our rural area."

DEFINITION of 'Daily Factor'
A decimal representing the portion of an annual yield earned in one day. Daily factors are often reported alongside current annualized yield figures, and can be translated back to the current yield by multiplying the number by 365.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Daily Factor'
For example, a certificate of deposit that trades for a current annual yield of 5.35% will show a daily factor of (.0535 / 365) or .000146575
Daily factors are small amounts to be sure, but many high-level banking and trust institutions will provide this daily interest calculation to their most important institutional accounts. The larger the pool of invested assets becomes, the more meaningful a daily factor calculation will be to the current account balances.
Daily factors are also frequently shown for Treasury bond quotes.

We guarantee, if you find anywhere on the market similar comparable product with lower price, please contact us, we will make suitable price for your satisfaction!
Our company mainly deals with hydrogen (HHO) systems which reduce exhaust fumes and fuel consumption of petrol, diesel oil, LPG and CNG vehicles.
We are not indifferent to environment and city smog becoming a part of our lives. Prices of fuel are rising constantly and this situation will only be getting worse. That is why our company has been dealing with alternative engines which can noticeably protect environment and your finances. Using our HHO system can reduce fuel consumption up to 40%.
SSpower HHO systems are professional facilities which produce hydrogen from water only on the engine running without any need to store the oxygen. That is why there is no need to deal with storage security and the technology is available for everyone. Water lyses into two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen. This product is internationally known as HHO or the Brown´s gas.
The details of this technology origination and history are described in our menu in the section History and theory of HHO.
Our HHO systems add produced oxygen and hydrogen directly to the engine. This enables more effective combustion of fossil fuels , radical reduction of exhaust fumes and fuel consumption in classic combustion engines. Combustion of hydrogen even helps cleansing of the engine from sediments, reduction or absolute elimination of smoke and to better state, higher performance and longer lifespan of the engine.
For more detailed information with the topic and functioning of the HHO systems please do not hesitate to check the section How it works in our menu and the Frequently asked questions as well.
Qualitative change of water to hydrogen and oxygen and fusion of gas mixture with common fuel makes our hydrogen generators exploit fuel in your engine better. They also contribute to its more economic performance and economy of used fossil fuels in the range of 10 to 30, in some cases even up to 40 %.
Except high effectiveness of the HHO systems and their considerably higher safety compared to LPG or CNG (HHO gas is not stored in any pressure container) the advantage of the HHO systems is also their fast and simple assembling and putting into operation and the last but not least their incomparably lower price.
Our HHO generators from Hornet series make can be used in connection with any combustion or compression ignition engine in any type of vehicle - cars including diesel engines, lorries, tractors, ships or in stationary engines like electrocentrals or water pumps.
Whole offer includes more kinds of HHO generators and HHO sets, divided into categories according to their size and performance from the weaker ones designated for cars with lower volume of engines up to more powerful ones with higher production of hydrogen (HHO gas), designated for larger lorries , trucks and high capacity electrocentral connections.
Wide range of our complementary devices for your HHO system to these products can be found in our sections HHO accessories or HHO parts.
The section Operation and maintenance offers useful advice and tips for choice of the right HHO system, its complementary devices , detailed information and instructions for their operation and maintenance, connection schemes, schemes of the HHO system itself as well as its electricity connection systems.
Except their usage in combustion engines the HHO systems also have much wider possibilities of energy saving , for example their usage for flame welding, heating by HHO heating facilities or cooking using hydrogren. This alternative usage of HHO technologies and products can be found in our section Other HHO products.

European Car reviews the new BMW M5 F10, which they call BMW's twin turbo superhero. Their conclusion? The new M5 is every bit as tractable as the E60 M5 and its chassis and brakes are flat out superior. Unlike the E60 M5, the new M5 is more user friendly.
German magazine Autozeitung has pitted the new BMW M5 (F10) against its bigger cousin. The F10 M5 is powered the S63Tu, an improved version of the BMW X6M's S63 engine. Given the S63Tu's enhancements over the S63 and the F10 M5′s lighter weight, the M5 winning in all categories and placing in 1st is certainly not surprising.
What is interesting however is to see more real world F10 M5 performance test results.
They were able to get the F10 M5 from 0-100km/h (62mph) in 4.2 seconds and from … CONTINUED
Ben Barry at CAR magazine was apparently on Santa's good-boys list as he's currently driving a F10 M5 long term tester. And although he's only had a few hundred miles behind the seat of this new M5, that's more than nearly anyone else who's not a BMW employee. So what's Ben got to say about the M5 so far? Let's have a look.
Fifth Gear's Vicki Butler-Henderson takes the 2012 BMW F10 M5 out for a thrashing in the popular UK auto show's review of the all new M5.
We won't spoil it for you, so click on through for the video review.
Here's a few beautiful wallpapers featuring the 2012 BMW M5 (F10) at the hands of Top Gear's Stig and James May, as well as some nice images featuring previous generation M5s.
The full F10 M5 review by James May can also be found inside.
BMW has a habit of underrating their cars' official power and performance figures. This trend continues with the F10 M5 which is officially listed as achieving 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds, but has now been tested by Car and Driver as hitting 60mph in just 3.7 seconds! It also covers the quarter mile in 12.0 seconds at 122mph [from the C&D December 2011 issue].
Compare this to the 2009 E63 AMG, with which C&D achieved a 0-60mph of 4.0 seconds and quarter mile of 12.5 seconds at 115mph. … CONTINUED
This is my own first personal experience watching a review by Totalcar, but I have to say I loved it. The location, video footage and general hoonery is very Top Gear like. The presenter really hits on all the important themes and answered alot of my own questions about the M5 while having fun at the same time. By the end of the video, you can tell this car has really grown on the presenter and I think that says it all
Here's a preview of an upcoming Top Gear magazine feature where James May with the help of The Stig thrashes the F10 M5 thoroughly, while comparing it to its top competition – the E63 AMG sedan. Check out some preview words and some Stig driving footage inside.
Autocar is the first to come in with a direct head to head comparison of the F10 M5 against its competitors, in this case the E63 AMG and the Jaguar XF-R. They make their pick, although for very specific reasons which may not matter to those looking to make a decision for a daily driver. See the review inside.
The first drive acclaims for the 2012 M5 continue as Motor Trend posts their first take on the F10 M5. Calling it improved with age, like a bottle of fine wine, Motor Trend believes that the F10 M5 is better than the E60 M5 in every way. How's that? See some excerpts inside.
EVO Magazine's Chris Harris' video review of the BMW F10 M5 has now been posted, following his initial print review.
After his initial drive, Harris called the 2012 BMW M5 "mostly awe-inspiring" and said that there is no other powertrain like this in a series production car. He called the F10 M5′s performance outrageous and gave it a full 5 star rating.
In this video, Harris posts and addresses the following main questions:
- Has it got any range (fuel)?
- Has it got torque?
- Can you not … CONTINUED
Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe reviews the 2012 BMW F10 M5 on video, giving us some excellent visual and audio of the F10 M5 experience. He's overall impressed and sums up by calling the new M5 still a proper lunatic's car. We like that!

Singin' in the Rain debuted last night at Derby Dinner Playhouse, and it may be the best performance I've seen thus far at the 40 year old dinner theater. Set in the late 1920s, this play follows the careers of silent film stars as they make the transition to talking pictures. Justin Ostergard plays the main character Don Lockwood. Don is a hugely successful silent film star alongside Lina Lamont, portrayed by Jilian Prefach, who plays his leading lady so often that even she believes the news of their engagement in the gossip rags.
When their studio is pressured into making talkies due to the success of their rivals, Don and Lina are suddenly thrust into their new responsibilities as actors; however, Lina's shrill and annoying voice ruins the new talking picture, and it becomes apparent that the studio could soon become the laughing stock of the film industry. Don and his friend Cosmo Brown (Matthew Brennan) hatch a plan to replace Lina's voice with the voice of Don's true love interest Kathy (Kayla Peabody), whom Lina hates.
Numbers "Fit as a Fiddle" and "Good Morning" showcased the actors' tap dancing talents, and "Singin' in the Rain" is always a fun scene due to the special effects. Ostergard (Don) and Peabody (Kathy) had great chemistry and were very believable as a couple enthralled by their newfound love. Brennan as Cosmo was by far my favorite character.
An excellent dancer, Brennan also used the silly traits of his character to his advantage with expert comedic timing. Prefach stole the show with her superb performance as Lina. Prefach recently starred in another Derby Dinner show, Little Shop of Horrors, where she played Audrey. It seems as though she has a knack for silly voices!
Singin' in the Rain runs through May 18th. Tickets include the show, a delicious buffet, and pre-show entertainment by the Footnotes. Their "rain" medley was very fun to watch!
With fun familiar songs, magnificent tap dancing, and the intoxicating energy of the 1920s, Singin' in the Rain is sure to be a hit! Warning: if you're in the front row, expect to get wet!

Once you've suspended your disbelief (Going from a period of major scientific advances to the darkest of dark ages in less than a century? Really?), you can settle in to an intelligent political thriller that will keep you constantly on the edge of your seat. Isaac Asimov was a remarkable writer, and in this book he builds a strong sense of place despite having only short vingettes to work with as the plotline flies between historical eras and characters with the speed and exhiliration of an FTL drive.
I liked Foundation's Edge much better than the original trilogy. Better writing and more involved plot. Written much later in his life.
This is a very old-style, classic SF story. I was so bothered by the constant jumps in time that it took a while to notice there were NO WOMEN except two who seemed very cardboard-cutout: one who said nothing but was blown away by bling, and one who nagged her husband. (copyright 1951 - no wonder!)
The book is hindered by the author's attention to his idea at the expense of plot, character, setting. But as a trip down memory lane it was fine.
A very good story The foundation series was originally a trio of books and as such the first three are the best. Actually, as with many series, the first is the best. This book sets you up for the legacy of the foundation.
Foundation ---- by Isaac Asimov c - 1979/LP Read reg. book Orig. c - ? The foundation series is a wonderful story line. ---- As I've said for many years, Sci-Fi authors sure have a way of chiding governments. And it's Wonderful to read that humor!! --- It's really comical the way the masters do that. And Wonderful to read that humor!! ---- Read the series and enjoy! ---- RichardPaul
I couldn't quite wrap my head around this book. Yes, the concept was fascinating. However, the writing and the dialog were not very good. The characters felt unrealistic and flat. Even so, there is something intriguing about this story, so I'll probably end up reading the next two books. I want to find out what happens next.
Asimov is a genius. The narrative of "Foundation" is especially interesting because unlike most novels, you follow the progression of a planet rather than a character, exploring its socio-political situation from every angle. It's so unlike anything you've ever read, and I highly recommend it to any science fiction fan.
Never having read Asimov before, I was disappointed in this book. The Foundation is an interesting concept, but I found the nuclear energy/science as a religion equated with Christianity distasteful.
in my opinion, this is the best book from the godfather of science fiction.
asimov combines the fields of psychology, history, and sociology to create an epic tale. according to one of the characters in the book, through the study of "psychohistory" and the use of a few mathematical equations, one can predict the future course of a society.
this book is a great read for a teenager as well as any adult. it moves at a decent pace so as not to lose your interest.
once you read this book, be sure to get books two and three: "foundation and empire" and "second foundation". you won't be disappointed.
Great book

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- An 18-year-old Lehigh Acres man has died from injuries sustained in a serious car accident that took place Monday afternoon. The victim has been identified as John Thomas Simpson.
On Monday August 6th, the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a call of a vehicle crash with serious injures near the intersection of State Road 82 and Rue Labeau Circle in Lehigh Acres. Due to the nature of the incident, a Traffic Homicide Detective with the Lee County Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit responded to investigate.
The preliminary investigation revealed a 2000 Lincoln Town Car was traveling westbound on State Road 82 and a 2010 Toyota Prius was traveling eastbound on State Road 82. The driver of the Town Car lost control of his vehicle and crossed left of center into the path of the Prius. The driver of the Prius took evasive action but was unable to avoid the impact, striking the Town Car in the driver side door. This impact caused both vehicles to rotate and come to final rest in the eastbound lanes of State Road 82.
The driver and passenger of the Prius were taken to Lee Memorial Hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. They are identified as:
Deborah Kay Cowans, 57, of 2618 Brewton Court in Clearwater (Driver), and Bessie Philips Robinson, 68, of 9730 Taylor Rose Lane in Seminole (Passenger).
Cowans has been treated and released and Robinson remains hospitalized.
The driver and only occupant of the Town Car, Simpson, was transported to Lee Memorial Hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. He died the following day as a result of the injuries he sustained in the crash.

The Virginia High School League has denied appeals to Fluvanna County High School's boys varsity basketball team and Western Albemarle's girls varsity basketball team after the team admitted to playing junior varsity players during the teams opening round games of the Jefferson District tournament.
Virginia High School League rule 58-2-2 states "When a district sponsors both a postseason junior varsity and a postseason varsity tournament, a player shall be limited to participating in only one of these tournaments."
The Goochland girls' and Western Albemarle boys' basketball teams will now advance to the semi-finals of the Jefferson District tournament as result of the violation.
The semi-finals will be held at Monticello High School on Wednesday for the girls and Thursday for the boys.
Both the Western Albemarle girls' team and Fluvanna boys' team will still host Region II tournament games later this month.

A consultation and standard online marketing blueprint is free. I also offer video and viral marketing strategies as well as product creation. While working on my master's degree the past couple of years I started getting involved trying to make money doing marketing on the internet. As time has passed more and more people started coming to me for help in design and launch of their online marketing strategies. I found that I enjoy helping other people integrate into the online community and grow their businesses. It's interesting that developing an online presence forces people to further define who they are, what their products should really sell for and what their business is really about.

Read Ken Albala and Rosanna Nafziger's blogs and view their pictures on the Penguin Community.
It's time to take back the kitchen. It's time to unlock the pantry and break free from the shackles of ready-made, industrial food. It's time to cook supper.
The Lost Art of Real Cooking heralds a new old- fashioned approach to food-laborious and inconvenient, yet extraordinarily rewarding and worth bragging about. From jam, yogurt, and fresh pasta to salami, smoked meat, and strudel, Ken Albala and Rosanna Nafziger arm you with the knowledge and skills that let you connect on a deeper level with what goes into your body.
Ken and Rosanna celebrate the patience it takes to make your own sauerkraut and pickles. They divulge the mysteries of capturing wild sourdoughs and culturing butter, the beauty of rendering lard, making cheese, and brewing beer, all without the fancy toys that take away from the adventure of truly experiencing your food.
These foods were once made by the family, in the home, rather than a factory. And they can still be made in the smallest kitchens without expensive equipment, capturing flavors that speak of place and personality. What you won't find here is a collection of rigid rules for the perfect meal. Ken and Rosanna offer a wealth of recipes, history, and techniques that start with the basics and evolve into dishes that are entirely your own.
This book is a lot of fun to read. The authors have a very specific point of view, which is that time and energy invested into making food is worth it. You don't need a lot of gadgets, just good ingredients and functioning taste buds. The book is written to be read cover to cover and does contain recipes, but they are secondary to the information being provided. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who likes to eat.

Own a near-full-size Chairy from Pee-Wee's Playhouse
Zack writes, "Ever wanted to turn your house into Pee Wee's Playhouse? Well, here's the closest you'll ever get -- a fan is selling the remnants of a J.C. Penney's department store display from the short-lived Pee Wee clothing line that includes a life-sized Chairy, an almost-life-sized Pee Wee, and cardboard panels recreating the look of the playhouse and Pee Wee's friends." The bidding's at $975 at the time of writing.
It's amazing how well those old Pee-Wee's Playhouse videos stand up. I've been re-watching the DVDs with my nearly-six-year-old this month and we're both really enjoying them. Alas, the DVDs have gone through the roof: $1400 for the boxed set (!), seasons 1-2 for $63 -- though the seasons 3-5 set is only $12.24.

He says they asked a company he co-owned to develop a fake spy-rock for the Department of Defense in the early 2000s, but didn't pay the company, whereupon he got screwed by his partners, and shafted by Lockheed on the royalties they owed him on the spy-rocks they made later for America's spooks. He's been listing it on eBay (along with the Lockheed/DoD paperwork), looking for the millions he believes he's owed.

Deco tiki drinks cabinet
A couple of cities back, in another century, I lived in a giant, illegal warehouse loft with tons of space, and in that loft, I built a most wonderful tiki-bar, with novelty bottles and stools that looked like bongo-drums and pennants from defunct cow-colleges, and swizzle sticks from bygone eras and more besides. I no longer have room for anything of the sort, but I still find myself seizing up with lust when I see something that would have fit it perfectly, such as this stonking 1959 deco tiki cocktail cabinet, for sale on eBay. I tried to convince myself to bid on it last night, tried to think of a place to put it, but honestly, there's nowhere for it. Plus there's no way I could ship this from southern California to London. But still.
We are pleased to present this vintage George Zee Cocktail Bar for your consideration. Manufactured in Hong Kong, this gorgeous piece opens to reveal a spacious Cocktail Bar that is loaded with storage. There are four (4) hidden compartments at the sides for stemware. Double doors on the front open to reveal two (2) drawers plus two (2) shelf areas. The front folds down to create a counter space, and the hinged lid opens to reveal a large compartment with a removable bottle holder.
In addition to plentiful storage space, high relief carvings of a Bamboo design are found on the door fronts and inside the top lid. What a great piece to compliment your Tiki or Hawaiiana themed room! Made from solid Mahogany with a blond color, we date the piece to 1959.

Gilbert Atomic Energy Lab: nuclear playset for kids
This Gilbert No. U-238 Atomic Energy Lab on eBay is a pretty fabulous bit of science education history: a children's science kit that included a Geiger counter, electroscope, cloud chamber, spinthariscope, and, of course, radioisotopes.
Gilbert was a man of true inspiration, often compared to Walt Disney for his creative genius. Gilbert had high expectations of America's youngsters, and with such he tried to help the future engineers, doctors and leaders by providing toys worthy of their imaginations. As the inventor of the Erector Set, and seeing its commercial appeal, the he and his company set a higher goal. They became the leading manufacturer of scientific toys (chemistry sets) and construction sets (Erector), all of which gained wide acclaim at the retail level. Interested in the joy of science more than remuneration, however, Gilbert created the Atomic Energy Lab U-238 - with the help of MIT's able faculty. The toy was made to de-mystify the perils of nuclear energy and to encourage the understanding of chemistry, physics and nuclear science - ultimately helping kids (and adults) become more open to the possibilities these disciplines offer. This educational composite, which was marketed during 1950-51, sold for $49.50 - a very high price for a toy set, even by today's standard.Gilbert No. U-238 Atomic Energy Lab (Thanks, Cinemajay!)

Dan Bull's Stupid Injunction: rap about the UK's sexy, censoring super injunctions
Copyfighting rapper Dan Bull's latest track is "Stupid Injunction," a song inspired by the UK's "super injunctions," a process by which wealthy individuals and large companies can get court orders forbidding the disclosure of embarrassing facts about their lives, and forbidding any mention of the injunction's existence at all. The InjunctionSuper Twitter account purports to publish details of the Super Injunctions, most of which involve affairs, exotic sexual activities with prostitutes and sexual harrassment.
The new Bull song coincides with his latest business model: commissioned songs. He writes, "I was thinking about how musicians made money before the record industry came about, and with that in mind I've gone back to the patronage days of old and put myself on eBay. The opening bid was 1p and it's risen phenomenally over the past couple of days. More proof that artists don't need the 'protection' of IP law..."

Senate Committee Passes Union-Backed Pension PlanA Senate committee has approved a union-backed approach for addressing Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis.
The Senate Executive Committee voted 10-5 Wednesday to send the proposal to the Senate floor. It could get a floor vote Thursday.
The measure gives workers and retirees a choice of benefit packages. For example, workers who want to receive 3 percent cost-of-living increases compounded annually wouldn't get health insurance. Retirees could choose to keep their health insurance if they freeze their COLA for two years. Senate President John Cullerton says the plan was drafted in collaboration with public-employee unions and would survive a court challenge. Critics say the bill doesn't save enough money.
However, at least one union impacted by the pension legislation is not on board. Bob Pinkerton, with the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, says both the Senate and the House plans are unconstitutional. "It is our view and our attorney views that this is an unconstutional bill, perhaps not as unconstitional as Senate Bill 1 as amended, but is there is a degree of constitutionality? I don't think so. It either is or it isn't. And this isn't in our opinion," said Pinkerton.
The House version of pension reform would require workers to give more toward their pensions, retire later, and accept a reduced raise in retirement. The House bill has already passed.
