Human influences on the atmosphere during the industrial era
In many of the world's largest cities (Beijing, Calcutta, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, etc.) WHO World Health Organization) air quality guidelines are not met. In 1996 global emissions of carbon dioxide were nearly four times the 1950 total.

Comparison of global river nitrogen export from natural ecosystems, agricultural systems, and sewage effluents, 1975 and 1990
Nutrient loading is projected to become an increasingly severe problem, particularly in developing countries. Nutrient loading already has major adverse effects on freshwater ecosystems and coastal regions in both industrial and developing countries.

Reactive nitrogen on earth by human activity, with projection to 2050
The range of the natural rate of bacterial nitrogen fixation in natural terrestrial ecosystems (excluding fixation in agroecosystems) is shown for comparison. Human activity now produces approximately as much reactive nitrogen as natural processes do on the continents.

How the comb-jelly (Mnemiopsis leidyi) is spreading through European seas (invasive species)
The most threatening event for the Caspian ecosystem was the arrival of the North American comb jelly (Mnemiopsis leidyi). It was brought accidentally to the Caspian in the ballast water of oil tankers. Invasive and alien species can exploit ecological niches that are not currently occupied, and spread rapidly, out-competing indigenous species.

Polar bear sub-populations and pollution
There are thought to be between 20,000 and 25,000 bears in the world, which occur in19 relatively discrete sub-populations, some of which are shared between nations. Topping the food chain in the Arctic, the polar bear is exposed to high levels of pollutants that are magnified with each step higher in the food web (a process known as biomagnification). Recent studies have suggested that the immune system may be weaker in polar bears with higher l...

Mercury levels in indigenous women
Many POPs (persistent organic pollutants) and heavy metals from emissions further south are accumulated in Arctic food chains and ultimately in indigenous peoples. While fear of these compounds sometimes has resulted in abandonment of traditional foods, this has also led to more unhealthy food habits acquired from non-indigenous peoples. Most indigenous peoples in smaller communities still supply a large share of their household foods from natura...

Pathways of contaminants to the Arctic
Many POPs (persistent organic pollutants), heavy metals and other contaminants from emissions further south are accumulated in Arctic food chains and ultimately in indigenous peoples. This process is often referred to as long-range pollution or long-range transport of pollutants. While fear of these compounds sometimes has resulted in abandonment of traditional foods, this has also led to more unhealthy food habits acquired from non-indigenous pe...

Environmental threats in the Barents Region
The Barents region is in the Arctic and covers the area of Western Russia and the northern areas of Finland, Sweden and Norway. This map indicates the political boundaries and economic areas in the region. More importantly it shows where environmental dangers are located and the level of grazing on pastoral lands. (Please note that the The Barents Euro-Arctic Council has expanded the membership since 1998)

The disappearance of the Aral Sea
The demise of the Aral Sea in central Asia was caused primarily by the diversion of the inflowing Amu Dar'ya and Syr Dar'ya rivers to provide irrigation water for local croplands. These diversions dramatically reduced the river inflows, causing the Aral Sea to shrink by more than 50%, to lose two-thirds of its volume, and to greatly increase its salinity. At the current rate of decline, the Aral Sea has the potential to disappear completely by 20...

Benefits of marine and coastal ecosystems to human wellbeing
Besides the well-known economic value of fisheries, there are several other activities generating significant revenues in coastal and marine areas. Tourism has become one of the world's fastest growing industries, providing a significant proportion of the GDPs of many developing countries. Small island states are particularly reliant on coastal and marine tourism. In the Caribbean, for example, the industry accounts for a quarter of the total eco...

Fish diversity in freshwater systems
Although freshwater ecosystems such as rivers, lakes and wetlands occupy less than 2% of the earth's total land surface, they provide a wide range of habitats for a significant proportion of the world's plant and animal species. Many are yet to be discovered, but the number of freshwater species worldwide is estimated at between 9,000 and 25,000 (Cosgrove and Rijsberman, 2000). However, this number is rapidly decreasing due to human interference....

Biological oxygen demand - BOD: 1976-2008
The availability of oxygen is one of the most important indicators of the condition of a water body, because dissolved oxygen, or DO, (the amount of oxygen dissolved in water) is necessary for most aquatic organisms, including fish and invertebrates. Some species have very defined lower limits of DO that they can tolerate. Increases in DO can indicate improvements in water quality, such as has occurred in many parts of the world in the last 30 ye...

When the city harms its own water resources
In areas where surface water is not readily available (located far from areas of need), groundwater is the primary water source. Groundwater aquifers supply an estimated 20% of the global population living in arid and semi-arid regions. Despite their widespread presence, groundwater aquifers in arid areas receive only limited or seasonal recharge, making such aquifers susceptible to rapid depletion. The Northern Sahara Basin Aquifer, for example,...

The WWF living planet index for freshwater
'The over-exploitation and mismanagement of fisheries, particularly when combined with other man-made stresses, can lead to the collapse of regional fish faunas. In many countries, aquaculture is rapidly increasing in response to declining natural fisheries, often exacerbating the degradation of inland and coastal ecosystems through habitat alteration, pollution and the introduction of alien species' (Revenga et al., 1998). The Freshwater Specie...

Transboundary water governance - averting conflict
Most governments recognize that violence over water is seldom strategically workable or economically viable and the most hostile enemies have a capacity for cooperation where water is concerned. The institutions that they create to avert conflict have shown extraordinary resilience. The considerable time taken to negotiate the establishment of these institutions - 40 years for the Jordan agreement for example - bears testimony to the sensitivity ...

Sources of water for domestic use in Port Harcourt
The main source of water in Port Harcourt is boreholes, which account to about 50 per cent of the water sources for domestic use. Many of these boreholes are shallow, making them prone to pollution, and increasing the risk of water-borne diseases.

How to make a scrapbook album for your baby boy
Posted in: Scrapbook Tags: scrapbook album for baby boy, scrapbooking
Congratulations! You now have a baby boy!
Whether this is your first child or not, you'll want to celebrate this special event by creating a scrapbook album for your baby boy.
It's easy and fun to look for creative ideas for scrapbooking all about your son.
The first topic that you need to think about when it come to making an album for your new baby boy is how detailed you would like the scrapbook to be.
There are a variety of dissimilar sizes you can choose from when it comes to selecting albums, so make sure, if it is going to be detailed, that you consider a larger size, such as a 12 x 12 album. It is a good idea to get an expandable album as well. As your baby boy grows, you can expand his album.
When you begin to organize all of your scrapbooking ideas you should start from the beginning like when you were pregnant.
Now, some women go so far as to save every detail of their pregnancy, even the pregnancy stick that indicated they were going to have their child. It is a personal choice. Be as detailed as you are comfortable with.
Now, if you are the kind of person that has saved such a thing, start the scrapbook with a picture of the stick, rather than the actual stick.
Another interesting suggestion for a baby boy album that you can include is a page documenting how your stomach grew month by month as you were pregnant. This can actually be split up into nine different pages, and on each page you can document how you were feeling at that exceptional stage of your pregnancy, as well as any food cravings that you had. Doctor visits and progress notations can be journaled here. Events from each month can be included.
Of course, you have to have pages of the actual delivery. While actual pictures of the event might or might not be included, things such as baby and mother hospital bracelets, as well as any other papers from that day, should be included. Remember to write about the special people who were in the delivery.
Once the baby has been born, the birth announcement is released. You should include a copy of that announcement in your scrapbook, as well as any greeting cards that were sent to you congratulating you on the arrival of your new baby. This can also include cards that were sent along with flowers. You can borrow ideas on how to preserve a flower from the article, "how you can craft a garden scrapbook," found here at die cutting machine.
There are a variety of other ways that you can make pages for a baby boy scrapbook album. However, you need to specify how long of a period the album should span. One idea is to have the scrapbook be about the baby's first year, or if you are the kind of parent that takes a lot of photographs, you may want to consider dedicating a shorter period of time for each album.
To give your scrapbook a boy's personality, use blue shades of cardstock. Place photos on varying shades of blue paper as well. A lot of different decorations are available for a baby boy theme. Finally, include his name and nickname, if he has one, often in your page titles. Don't forget to add a personal touch to the outside of the album cover. You may place a ribbon from a baby shower package or have his name embossed on the cover, for example.
For more information and ideas, check out other articles on this site, and you can also consult friends and family who have done scrapbooks for their own children.

A week after the wedding

It's easier to measure the speed at which life passes by what happens to the people around us, not ourselves....I bet that it wasn't long ago that little girl was starting school, and now she is married.

- dianne said...
sigh ... she's a lovely bride, but i don't know how Mr. Life got through it - i was so against the "giving" that my daughter had her two children walk her down the aisle
- 1:35 am
- Thimbleanna said...
It's Mr. Life! Looking very dapper -- but. Where is his kilt??? It's a beautiful picture. I've often wondered about our wedding traditions -- it seems the opposite sex parent gets all the attention, i.e., the Father of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom. Seems a little unfair, although, I suppose us mothers of boys should have some compensation for not having a girl. You know the old saying -- you didn't lose a daughter, you gained a son!
- 3:40 am
- persiflage said...
She looks absolutely lovely, graceful and happy, which is just how it should be. Of course you miss her, and Mr Life looks as though he does too - just something in his expression there.
- 4:37 am
- Marcheline said...
What a sweet photo! Looks like it could have been taken long, long ago. I love the timelessness of weddings.

What a beautiful photo - I can see why Mr Life was reluctant though! She looked so lovely!

It's always so difficult to see them go off , isn't it .
But she does look so happy !

Ready to bin your USB cables yet? Wireless USB hops on WiGig bandwagon
Having failed to carve itself a niche with ultrawide band radio, the USB Implementers Forum has jumped aboard the WiGig bandwagon and will slide up the dial into 60GHz. 60GHz is where WiGig lives, an internationally unlicensed band where there's plenty of space but propagation is poor. WiGig is proposed as the next generation of …
Product looking for a Problem
I'm looking forward to wireless USB replacing my bluetooth wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and wireless games controller. I'm so excited about it I'm going to print a letter off with my wifi connected wireless printer.
So that would be flash drives left then. So flash drives... will the software that controls secure access to wireless flash drives be more or less difficult to use than plugging in a wired USB flash drive.
Oh dear. This might be a problem.
(I do love the technology, I just wonder about the economics)
Product looking for a Problem - More
Ditto to previous, plus am I going to have to put batteries, or charge all those USB keys and other USB devices that get their 5V power down the cable?
Wireless power?
So does this mean that my USB scanner, which gets it's power to power the sheet-feeder motor from USB and has no independent power source, would be able to obtain it's power wirelessly?
If so, it sounds like just what the doctor ordered. If not, then it's looses it's appeal, since I currently enjoy the fact that my mobile is charged while connected to my laptop by USB.
Re: Wireless power?
it's looses it's
Re: Wireless power?
Perfectly correct.
Its appeal is no longer present: its appeal has been let loose.
"Wireless USB with power"? A problem with an existing solution
...in the form of the preexisting device, the USB to Ethernet Bridge.
You add them to any Ethernet system, wired or wireless via your access point, and presto! you have your USB devices accessible via wireless. Plus something else: you can share your USB devices with multiple computers.
Been using them since 2006, first the Keyspan and now the Silex SX-DS-4000U2. Yes, powered USB for your devices plus sharing of devices to multiple hosts. Why wait another 3 years since their original promise of Wireless USB devices on your system when you can implement it now?
Does solve one USB problem...
I defer to Mr Dabbs for a more entertaining explanation;
WiGig Won't Be Plain Sailing.
Reckon WiGig won't be plain sailing, just getting transistors and other semiconductors to work at those frequencies is hard enough. Even dialectics and electrical substrates that work well at normal microwave frequencies can be problematic at 60GHz.
And it's not only walls and humans who'll be opaque to WiGig, many other ordinary day-to-day things are too, your wooden table or leather briefcase for instance--not to mention the cat, who'll invariably want to sit right next to the antenna or crawl all over it.
However, it seems to me the most difficult aspect of WiGig is when the service is extended to areas that are not direct or reflected line-of-sight (through walls, different rooms etc.). The psychology of users getting used to a considerably degraded service when they take their devices into the next room is likely to be very problematic.
User perception is everything and it might be difficult to reeducate.
Still, I'm looking forward to trying the product.
Re: WiGig Won't Be Plain Sailing.
You're completely wrong.
The cat will be laying across your touchscreen.
Re: WiGig Won't Be Plain Sailing.
To an extent you are right.
I am old enough to remember 100MHz transistors being amazing and GHz transistors being unthinkable. Now they are all meh.
The biggest limitation is propagation. We can lift transistor performance, but we're limited by the physics of high frequency RF. The whole point of Wifi in a domestic setting is that you have a single gizzmo to plug into the fibre modem and get wifi anywhere in the house. My current wifi struggles. WiGig just would not work.
Improving USB
Perhaps just spend more time fixing up the hell that is USB drivers.
For what?
WiGig isn't going to make wireless mice and keyboards perform any better. It won't help portable printers and scanners that need 5VDC. I don't like the idea of running disks or video over a connection that will constantly glitch from motion in the room. What's needing this solution?
A good start would be a Universal Rule that says the tiny CDs that contain them should say exactly *what* the driver is, instead of just "driver".
Or as a very poor second best, at least don't cover the entire surface in stupid dark colours that ensure you cannot read anything you write on them. But the CDs really ought to be properly and unambiguously labelled at source and the USB standard needs to say precisely that.

Deep Run program trains future project management leaders
Deep Run High School recently completed a pilot course that is the first of its kind in the nation, based upon project management skills for the purpose of providing adequate training to its students so they can be empowered to enter the workforce with competence and a professional certification.
Future Leaders In Project Management is a non-profit organization that was founded by Jennifer Greene to incorporate project management in high schools so students are prepared to work as associate project managers after they graduate. The year-long course prepares students to take the Project Management Institute's Certified Associate's in Project Management (CAPM) test and receive Project Manager's Institute industry certification, a world recognized certification. FLiPM is designed to bring skilled local workforce to businesses, grant graduating high school seniors job opportunities and stimulate the economy while lowering the unemployment rate.
Upon completing the last project management course in the 12th grade, students who earn their high school diplomas will be eligible to sit for the CAPM test, thus preparing the students to turn their passions in more than 100 different industries into marketable career options straight out of school.
"I believe in industry certification and PMI is the world standard for project management," said Lynne Norris, the school's project management teacher and chair of the Center for Information Technology. "I'm always looking for opportunities to give them (students) the edge and anytime you can put initials behind your name its awesome."
The program came to Deep Run when a CTE specialist for the county's school system approached Norris about the opportunity FLiPM could bring students. The program was born when the Henrico School Board gave its approval. The system not only opened up doors for the students but also for teachers – 10 of whom were given the opportunity to take a project management course to earn certification.
Project management is part of the required curriculum for sophomores at Deep Run in the speciality IT center, but FLiPM allows for students to take their studies a step further. The FLiPM capstone class at Deep Run is composed of 10 students and focuses on IT project management with a yearlong project that puts their skills to use. Through FLiPM, students were able to utilize the tools that project management has taught them in completing different projects areas that interested them.
"We were given the opportunity to work on the CAPM certification and it's a lot like a real life job, doing a year long project isn't something that most high schooler's get to do especially putting the skills to use and application," said senior Stephen Scipione.
The vision is to incorporate FLiPM in to all CTE courses so that a broad spectrum of students are being exposed to technology, terminology, and tools that Project Management uses. Many of the skills introduced correlate to the work place and give students a leg-up when facing employers who are looking for well developed students that are entering the work force. The national certification makes the students more marketable employees with hope of gaining them entry into well paying jobs.
The job market is extremely competitive, but project manager positions are thriving, and there is a strong need for CAMPS (Certified Associate Project Managers), who have a starting salary between $40,000 and $50,000 a year. Offering graduates the certification makes them employable right away, and the skills learned translate into a multitude of professions and are applicable in every industry.
Those skills – project planning, scheduling, human resources, team management, customer and client relations, interpersonal skills, risk assessment and communication – give students a significant advantage that they can carry with them throughout their life, not just for the first few years after graduation, Norris said.
FLiPM also gives students who may not be pursuing college or have the opportunity, to enter a professional career with valid, marketable skills. FLiPM creates a bridge between career/technical education and the public school systems by opening the doors to students. The program works with a local professional chapter of Project Management and provides opportunities to use the newly-gained abilities to partner with state organizations, stimulating local economy.
"I became interested because I wanted an opportunity to use this class to elevate beyond high school and into the real world, while working with a client and mentor. I relish the opportunity to work with organizations outside of school," said Ram Ramkumar.
After completing the capstone, students are awarded a grant to cover their application fee into the local chapter of PMI, as well as their PMI test, and are offered access to testing software and test preparation books. The local chapter allows for students to continue using PMI skills outside of high school and the chance to get involved with local businesses.
The FLiPM program is expected to expand, and Norris says this year was full of successes.
"My hope is that each year we will be able to continue this program through grants and be able to help facilitate other schools in Henrico. It makes me happy to be able to say we are really providing a valuable resource of well prepared workers as students graduate," she said.
FLiPM and Henrico Education Foundation, along with the Central Virginia Chapter of PMI are rewarding a student with a $2,500 scholarship as well as title of "Student Project Manager of the Year" at a celebratory dinner held at the Federal Reserve Building.

A hero is born
Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

So I've started my 2nd cycle of my Unorthodox Training routine. The first time I ran through the cycle, I did it for 8 weeks (2 four week cycles). I'm now doing it for 12 weeks (3 four week cycles) and keeping accurate records of gains, lifts, strength, etc., to track how effective this program really is. Now I don't have my Ph.D is fitness and exercise but I have done some research and can give some first hand experience.
I would like anyone with more knowledge than myself, to really disect this program and see if my theories are correct. If anyone would like to try this - I would ask that they keep me updated with their progress so that I know, whether or not, this program is beneficial.
Here's how it works:
5 days working out (Monday - Friday) with 2 days off (Sat-Sun).
3 "key" days (Mon, Wed, Fri) will be set aside for your main "big" muscles (Back, Legs, and Chest).
2 "light" days (Tues and Thur) will be for other muscles (Calves, Traps, Abs, Lower Back).
Each exercise will consist of 11 sets and 151 reps.
2 exercies will be performed during the 3 "key" days.
Purpose: As you will see below, there are a lot of sets (heavy and light). My theory is that the first two sets are warm up sets. The third set is to prep your body for heavy weight that is to follow. Sets 4/5, 6/7, 8/9 are super sets. We lift heavy weight at first to really rip the muscle fibers and then immediately following lift lighter weight to push that blood into the targeted area. The last super set (10/11), is a topper to really get the blood pushed into the targeted area and get a good pump.
Focus: The main focus of these 11 sets is not how much weight you push on set 4, 6, and 8, but how much weight can you push on set, 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11. The 15 reps with the lighter weight, I believe, is what really makes the muscles grow. These sets, done with good form, should be heavy enough where you want to stop at 10 reps. Pause and catch your breath, and then finish the last 5 strong. If you can do 15 reps straight through, you'll need to adjust the weight.
So enough with the talk - here's the meat and potatoes of the program (using DB curls as an example).
Set 1 - 20 reps: 10lbs.
Set 2 - 15 reps: 15lbs. (remember this weight!!!)
Set 3 - 12 reps: 25lbs. (1st working set)
Set 4 - 10 reps: 30lbs. (2nd working set)
Set 5 - 15 reps: 15lbs. *when doing arms - super set one arm before moving onto the next arm!!!
Set 6 - 8 reps: 35lbs. (3rd working set)
Set 7 - 15 reps: 15lbs.
Set 8 - 6 reps: 40lbs. (4th working set)
Set 9 - 15 reps: 15lbs.
Set 10 - 15 reps: 15lbs.
Set 11 - 20 reps: 20lbs.
Figure out what your heavy weight will be (set 8). Once you pick your heavy weight, move backwards from there. That should determine how heavy you'll go for your set of 15's and 20's. As you can see above, I went up 5 lbs every working set, but there's no rule saying that you can move up 10 or even 20 lbs for each working set (20# increments is what I normally do for back squats).
Now that we outlines what an exercise will look like, here is what to be worked on for each day.
Week 1:
Monday: Back - Lat Pull Down and Biceps - DB Curl
Wednesday: Legs - Leg Extention and Shoulders - DB Arnold Press
Friday: Chest - BB Bench Press and Triceps - Over the head rope extensions
Week 2:
Monday: Back - Bent Over Rows and Biceps - Seated DB Curl
Wednesday: Legs - Hamstring Press and Shoulders - Machine Press (palms facing each other)
Friday: Chest - Cable Cross Overs and Triceps - DB Kickbacks
Week 3:
Monday: Back - Pull Ups (use weighted if possible) and Biceps - Hammer Curls
Wednesday: Legs - Back Squats and Shoulders - Side DB Lateral Raises
Friday: Chest - DB Decline Bench Press and Triceps - One hand pulldowns (do both - palm up and down)
Week 4:
Monday: Back - Seated Rows and Biceps - Chin Ups
Wednesday: Legs - DB Lunges and Shoulder - Standing DB Press
Friday: Chest - Incline BB Bench and Triceps - 2 hand pulldown
Keep in mind, during the second cycle (weeks 5 - 8) feel free to change things up a bit. For example, instead of a back squat, do a front squat. Instead of a incline BB bench, do an incline DB bench. As long as the "gerenal" exercise is the same.
Also, again, Tuesdays and Thursdays are other muscles you feel need work. I usually do Abs on both days (following the above routine), along with traps and calves. Pullovers are also mixed in to work the serratus and forarms.
So, let me know what everyone thinks. I'd love to get feed back. I've got 3 people at work doing this routine and they're seeing some good gains. They're 42, 50 and 55 years old and their diet is not in line, but the fact they are still seeing gains gives me hope that this program could work very well for the general public.

Do you remember the story of Odysseus, who had to navigate his ship between the six-headed sea monster, Scylla, and the whirlpool Charybdis? I suspect quite a few of us will be feeling that energy in our lives soon, if we aren't already, and, as with Odysseus, the only option is to make a choice. Figuring out what action to take means we need to take time to reflect — but not too much time, because events will call us to take action. You'll need to steer a careful, attentive course through the choices that are presented to you in the upcoming weeks.
The planetary alignment that is energizing these navigational hazards is the station of Saturn and Uranus within less than half a degree of an inconjunct (150 degree) aspect with each other, July 20-21. Saturn in Scorpio is stationing direct, Uranus in Aries, retrograde. The inconjunct is not one of the most powerful aspects, but it packs a punch, and this close, with these two powerful planets almost motionless in the sky and in tight aspect for over a month, I expect it to shake things up a bit. Jupiter will also have moved into Leo a few days before the planetary stations, and Mercury will be out of its shadow from the last retrograde, joined by Venus in Cancer. So the overall energy is going to change fairly dramatically in mid-July.

The number one seeded Cavalier men's tennis team saw its season come to a sudden end on Monday, falling to fourth seeded Georgia, 4-3. The defending national champion Bulldogs oust Virginia in the semifinals for the second consecutive year, and advance to meet Texas in the championship match.
Virginia got out to a good start by winning the doubles point, but fell in four of the six singles matches. Somdev Devvarman and Ten Angelinos were the only two Cavaliers to pick up singles victories, as the Wahoos fell in upset fashion to the fourth seeded Bulldogs. The Cavaliers fall to 32-1 on the season.

Contributors to Obesity Epidemic
July 8, 2014
SYOSSET, NY – A recent study pointing to inactivity being a bigger contributor toward weight gain than eating too much is a reminder that obesity is a complex disease with many potential causes, a New York registered dietitian says.
"I think it's a very interesting study and obesity is such a very complex disease with so many factors at play," says Christine Santori, RD, program manager at the Center for Weight Management at Syosset Hospital. "And I don't know if at the end of the day we're going to be able to say that one was more detrimental than another. We absolutely move too little and I think we do eat too much. We're overstressed, we're chronically sleep deprived. We rely on a high-processed diet and there's little time for any leisure activity, which this study focused on. So I think we need to take a global approach at combating this epidemic, but I'm all for getting people moving."
Genetics, caloric intake, activity and other factors all have bearing on weight gain, Ms. Santori says.
Thirty minutes of exercise can make a big difference in someone's day and potential weight gain, Ms. Santori says. She advises people who may have hectic schedules and feel overwhelmed by the thought of a lot of exercise to start with 10 minute increments and then gradually build up the amount of time they work out.

November 26, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - Entertainment giant Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. on Tuesday posted net income in its fiscal first quarter that shrank more than analysts had expected as its movies didn't fare as well as a year ago.
The results marked the first quarter as a separate entity from publishing company News Corp., which was spun off at the end of June.
Net income for the three months through Sept. 30 was $1.26 billion, or 54 cents per share, versus $2.23 billion, or 94 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding discontinued operations, adjusted earnings came to 33 cents per share, a penny short of the forecast of analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue rose 18 percent to $7.06 billion. Wall Street expected $6.82 billion.
Shares are off 2 percent to $33.40 in aftermarket trading.

My ex-girlfriend left me 6 months ago, still trying to move on but she keeps contacting me...?
My ex-girlfriend of two and a half years left me approximately 6 months She said that she did not love me anymore. I didn't blame her, people fa been on the no contact rule for 6 months now, and while I promise you t contacts me at least once a week on instant messenger to talk about what sees me as her dad, and while I have gone to see her and have really no conversed with my ex in person aside from "I'm here to see the baby, I'm to drop her off" since we split up, I still miss her. I have to admit that I st very much in love with her.I really have been trying to move on. I'm seeing this great girl who loves me and treats me great, but I cannot stop pushing her away. It's as if I do no want to move on. I feel lost. I keep thinking that my ex will come back to me and another six months, a year, two years… in my heart I am hoping suppose… However, my brain keeps telling me it's over; to move on. And I am trying, but I just can't do it; at least not while she is contacting me so often. even thought to stop seeing the baby, who I adore and who adores me knowing that it would be just another heartbreak for me. I don't know what t do. It is extremely unfair to the wonderful girl I am currently seeing, but I jus can't seem to move on. I am so confused and in need of help. I'm in love with someone who left me because she said she was not in love with me. I am seeing someone who is in love with me, but who I can't fall in love with because my heart belongs to someone else and there seems to be nothing that I can do about it… help…
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
yes some guys always think of their ex girlfriends and not focus on the girl they're with. it happened to me also. it was a very painful experience for me since I had gotten out of a relationship with a horrible guy for a first boyfriend. I am totally traumatized well anyway. my advice to you is honestly end it with the girl you're with. it's not fair to her to be with someone who isn't into her. and I feel that you just want some comfort form this relationship or something to keep your mind busy. that's not how it's gonna happen. I'm sorry. you have to think if you were your current girlfriend, would you be p*ssed? I honestly would be. if I were her and devoting so much time into this and you're thinking about your ex and you're still in love with your ex, well, you get the idea? yep.you'll hurt the current girl less if you break up with her and let her free to find someone more suited to her and obviously be polite about it and explain. but if you stay with her and don't love her, that's even harsher.
What Girls Said 3
Honestly, I think you need to get that dirt off your shoulder, and stop wearing your heart on your sleeve. Women rarely leave relationships for someone they have children with. The only speculation I can come up with is, your ex has already moved on to someone else. Reality Check! She is living her life...while your entire world is on PAUSE! Get over the fantasies of reconciliation. If its meant to be, then let fate decide this. In the meantime, I think you need to tell your current G/F that you are not emotionally available right now, and that you would like to see other people. I think you're not emotionally ready to be in a committed relationship right now. Be single , play the field, and spend a little time by yourself to re-evaluate your past relationships, and do some soul searching.
You have a child with your ex girlfriend which also binds you to her, yet you are in love with a girl you met in attempt to move on. It's a difficult situation and it's not going to be easy.It's as though you are on a track, the only way you can go is forward, but memories and commitments are pulling you back (You are a father so that is a lifetime commitment) but life and time simply does not move backwards. You are being pushed forwards with feelings that you cannot let go of. You are trying, but perhaps not in the right way for yourself, to accept it.Perhaps the lady you are with now, is a relationship you started to try and move on from your previous relationship, like a rebound. That's why you still think of your ex girlfriend, you don't seriously 'love' this woman, but she is all you have to take your mind away from your ex. I agree that this is unfair to her, and if you do not fix this, your relationship with her will break down later on. You should talk to her about it, she is here for you now and she should be able to understand what you are going through.You need to work on the relationship you have now and keep looking ahead, having someone is better than not having anyone at all to be there for you, as there is nothing you can do about the situation with your ex if she clearly does not want anything and it's over.It's very hard and I know it, because your mind will be thinking logically to move on, but your emotions will not. The key is to train your mind to lead your emotions. Don't let your emotions rule your head, because you will never find peace within yourself. Think logically and realistically, how you feel and how you want to feel at the present moment and future, not the past because the past is gone.Think to yourself: Can I accept living with my new relationship but feeling the same every day? will these thoughts make my life worse or do they comfort me?If your answer is no, then you need to decide the few options you have: - Lose current relationship before things break down later and try to get back with ex girlfriend and your child.- Lose current relationship and just move on alone, but being able to see your child and ex. - Work on current relationship and see your ex and child occasionally.I hope I've helped somehow, it's a difficult situation but trying to simplify it.I wish you all the best.
What Guys Said 1
You just need to talk to your ex girlfriend a little about this. If she is contacting you, she probably wants to say sorry in some way, just not directly, and if she's trying to do that, she probably wants to give it another chance, but doesn't want to say it to you directly, for fear of you saying forget it and being rejected.

At first glance, the Yorkshire Club is a confusing venue. Situated on the 48th floor of the Republic Towers downtown, it's spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a long hallway decorated with original sketches leading to the dining room. Its whitewashed wood paneling and brick walls hold a few abstract paintings that would look swell under a black light. The tables are simple, with institutional-looking white and green coverings and folding whitewashed wood chairs with padded seats. The ambiance feels transient, like a setting for a tented back-yard wedding or a conventioneers' lunch in a hotel banquet room. At any moment you expect them to pack it all up and bring on the Bluebonnet Pug Dog Club board of directors slide show.
What kind of atmosphere is this? Is this a restaurant or a rent-a-mixer domicile? "There's nothing that we're trying to create with this space," answers chef Zachary Kellerman. "It mostly just centers around my food. We've got a great view up here...there's no serious concept that's trying to be put on." Forget that there's probably not much they could do with this space anyway, as it's open to the public only for lunch on weekdays--the rest of the time it's used primarily for private functions. Reviewers, and to a far lesser extent diners, get preoccupied with the intentions behind food and the concept driving the setting in which it is swallowed. They forget that fine cuisine served in a room that doesn't smell bad or look like a Liberace costume is often wholly appropriate. And while Dallas isn't exactly the Florence of Texas when it comes to cityscapes, it's hard to imagine a decor ensemble more interesting than a commanding view of the north and west ends of the downtown skyline.
But the food, not the view, must make these Spartan digs sing. And for the most part, this menu slips in the necessary notes. Kellerman has constructed a simple, understated menu with a few Asian and Southwestern hues at exceptionally reasonable prices. Things strike an alluring pitch at the outset and maintain an ascending curve right through dessert with only a few pockets of jarring turbulence along the way.
Cream of leek soup, a soup of the day with chunks of potato and bits of Canadian bacon, carrots, onions, and peppers floating in a smooth, lightly creamed chicken stock broth was both subtle and well layered with flavor. An appetizer of red chili garlic tempura calamari on Asian spiced mustard greens, however, required some thought. The corn starch-based batter seasoned with red pepper flakes and fresh garlic was light and airy, and the calamari was remarkably silky and tender. But there were pockets of gumminess in the coating, and the bed of mustard greens with bits of bacon harbored a perfumy aroma and a sweet, spicy intensity that, by no means off-putting, required some getting used to. A ramekin of dipping sauce, pureed red peppers and tomatoes infused with cilantro, was potently bright, fresh, and mouth-sparkling clean--a dramatically appropriate accompaniment to this deep-fried substance.
Crispy chicken spring rolls encasing shreds of carrot, cabbage, and chicken were on the greasy side. But the innards came alive with a slathering of dipping sauce borne of sweet rice vinegar, mint, roasted peanuts, soy, and a Thai garlic chili sauce.
And it wasn't just the appetizers that had their potential shortcomings effectively neutralized by well-orchestrated sauces. The molasses-grilled pork tenderloin was served overdone, flirting with toughness. But rich, engaging dribbles of pork loin pan drippings injected with cranberry au jus rescued the thing, infusing it with moisture and savoriness. A side of moist, creamy sweet potato croquettes, hush-puppy-like balls of sweet potato mixed with flour and nutmeg before a roll in bread crumbs and a swim in deep fry, completed the composition deftly.
The sauce thing continued to defy shortcomings with the jalapeno-grilled tuna on Southwestern shrimp corn chowder. Veneered with fresh pureed jalapenos cut with a little brown sugar, the tuna was slightly overcooked and void of melting tenderness. No matter. The dazzlingly rich chowder rendered from bacon and seafood shells pulled it out of its malaise. This chowder concoction is simply one of the finest excuses for a sauce I've ever tasted.
The buttermilk pan-fried double chicken breast with herb-whipped potatoes and bourbon pan gravy, however, seemed a pointless culinary exercise. The chicken was slightly dry, and the batter was bland and pasty. The pan gravy had pronounced salt and pepper flavors, but not much else. And this limp clucker was delivered on a bed of rice instead of the whipped potatoes (they ran out) with a thyme, rosemary, oregano, parsley, and basil treatment. While the rice was perfectly prepared, it didn't do much to show off the dish, even if there wasn't much to highlight. Plus, being informed of outages after the fact, rather than at a time when you have an opportunity to make adjustments if you choose, is inexcusably shoddy.
Perhaps the finest example of Kellerman's restrained inventiveness, though, is the chicken pot pie, an immensely tasty, monstrous thing encapsulated in a molded sage crust. It's loaded with sauteed onions, carrots, celery, peas, roasted chicken, and roasted corn all suspended in a ripe, rich cream gravy thickened with corn starch.

THIBODAUX, La. (AP) - The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office says it's dealing with an increase in methamphetamine production in the parish.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Brennan Matherne tells The Daily Comet that the number of labs shut down has increased since last year. Exact figures were not available.
The office recently shut down two alleged meth labs within a week. One recent arrest involved four members of a Lockport family - a 53-year-old man and his three adult children. A search of the House on Monday turned up meth packaged for sale as well as marijuana.
