Teens and Food
Friday, November 3, 2006; 2:30 PM
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer , author of, "I'm, Like, SO Fat!: Helping Your Teen Make Healthy Choices about Eating and Exercise in a Weight-Obsessed World," was online Friday, Nov. 3 at 2:30 p.m. to discuss teen eating habits.
A transcript follows.
Neumark-Sztainer is a professor a the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health and a member of the university's
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Hi, Just thought I would introduce myself briefly before getting started. I have been researching issues related to eating, weight and body image in teenagers for the past twenty years or so. I am also the mother of four children -- aged 12, 18, 20, and 24 -- so I have been humbled and educated by them (as you can imagine). My mission is to help young people feel so good about themselves and their bodies that they will want to take care of them through healthy eating, physical activity and positive self-talk. But, I admit that I have never done an online chat room before...so bear with me and I'll try to address your questions as best as I can.
Chicago: My 16-year-old son has both high cholesterol and high blood pressure, but is of normal weight and very physically active. It's basically a bad roll of the genetic dice. I try very hard to encourage healthy eating (low salt and low fat) but honestly, it sometimes feels like a losing battle. He feels angry that he has these issues and the last thing I want is to set up a problematic relationship with food. We met with a nutritionist who was marginally helpful, but seemed out of touch with what real adolescents like to eat. Any suggestions?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: You are facing a problem that many parents of teens face...just how much should I say? Based on the research I would recommend "say less and do more." See what you can do at home to make healthy foods more available and accessible. Don't totally eliminate the "less healthy" foods but make foods like fruits and vegetables readily available. Also, try to make your home environment one in which it is easier to be physically active. For example, limit the number of TVs and don't have them in the kitchen or the bedroom if at all possible. Find a nutritionist who works with adolescents - check out the American Dietetics Association for someone in your area. Show your love and support and let someone else give the "advice." Good Luck!
Washington, D.C.: Hi, Dianne, How can parents help their overweight kids become healthier without making them feel fat and, perhaps, triggering an eating disorder? That's a hard line to walk.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: That is the $20 million question and the reason I took a year out of my life to write a book for parents on this topic. In my book I suggest four cornerstones. In brief they are as follows:
1. Model healthy behaviors for your children
2. Provide an environment that makes it easy for your children to make healthy choices
3. Focus less on weight, instead focus on behaviors and overall health
4. Provide a supportive environment with lots of talking and even more listening.
You should know that most overweight kids have been teased or mistreated because of their weight. As parents we need to do what we can to help our kids be more active and make healthier food choices...but also let them know that we love them regardless of their size. If you get the book and find the more detailed explanation of these cornerstones helpful -- let me know.
Silver Spring, Md.: What is the racial/economic breakdown of girls and women with eating disorders? I am getting the impression that is a disease of white, affluent women and their daughters.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Great question. Actually, we see eating and and weight problems across the spectrum of ethnicity and socio-economic status...although not everyone gets the treatment that they need. In Project EAT, a large survey of teens, we found that girls and boys from different backgrounds reported high levels of body dissatisfaction, unhealthy weight control behaviors, binge eating and overweight. But some groups (such as African-American girls) do seem to place more emphasis on what their bodies can do (and how they can move) rather than how they look, and don't desire to be stick-thin. Seems like a good thing to me!
Laurel, Md.: Isn't a good self image what we need to promote among the young? If there would be less talk about it being okay to be "a bit on the heavy side," likely by relatives/friends flying off the BMI charts themselves, there would be a stronger motivation to get in shape.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Great question! In our research we have found that teens who feel better about their bodies are more likely to engage in healthier behaviors -- like being more physically active -- and less likely to use unhealthy weight control behaviors. So we need to find a way to help young people appreciate the wonders of their bodies and then take care of them through healthy eating, exercise, and avoiding behaviors such as smoking and substance use and cutting and food restrictions and binge eating....
Arlington, Va.: Did you decide to narrow your focus to teens because that's when most women "learn" their eating disorder habits. I made it all the way to college only to run right into anorexia/bulimia and I've been running into it ever since. We have to stop treating this like an after-school special topic and address it as the widespread public health crisis that it is. I want T-shirts, bumper stickers, benefit concerts, NIH funding and insurance to cover it.
Adults can't drop out of their lives to take four weeks at a clinic without huge risks right now. Let's get it out in the open -- all the way, beyond the teen scene.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Thanks for the question and the points you raise. We need to be working with pregnant moms, young children and adults -- and basically everyone -- if we want to solve the problems that are facing us! I started working with teens after years of working with adults since I felt like I wanted to help prevent excessive weight gain AND excessive preoccupation with weight. I love teenagers because of where they are at and all they are going through. So I think it is really important to work with teens...but not only with teens.
Philadelphia: What is the first step to the road of recovery for those who suffer from an eating disorder? Seeing a nutritionist or a psychologist?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: It is important to see a professional who understands eating disorders -- and this may be either a nutritionist or a psychologist or a physician. Go to the Web site of the National Eating Disorders Association to find someone in your area. And good luck! This is the first step to getting better.
Arlington, Va.: Thanks for taking the time to do today's chat. Do you think it's possible to ever fully recover from an eating disorder? How would you define "recovery?"
I had anorexia as a teenager -- I am now living a healthy and fulfilling adult life. I've made my peace with the eating disorder and feel "recovered."
That being said -- I put an emphasis on eating healthy, exercising regularly and am generally aware of my weight. I wonder about the nuances sometimes when I am wandering the grocery store in search of bread made without high-fructose corn syrup. (i.e., I wonder if I am overly aware.)
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Congratulations on your recovery! A full recovery from an eating disorder is possible as you have demonstrated. But it is important to be aware of early symptoms/concerns. Your concerns may or may not be "normal" and I certainly can't tell via the computer. If you are at all concerned, talk with a therapist to make sure you stay the course. And stop reading the bread labels!
Washington, D.C.: Hello:
I feel like sometimes eating recommendations and plans, instead of helping teenagers or people in general, create more tension and could be a trigger for eating disorders. At the same time, I wonder if it would make more sense to bring more focus and create more awareness programs to the psychological underlying aspects that teenagers face and from which eating disorders is only one of the symptoms. What does Dr. Neumark-Sztainer think?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: I think this is a great question. In my opinion we need both -- we need to address the underlying problems to ensure that our kids feel good about themselves. But, we also need to address the specific issues regarding weight pressures and opportunities for healthy eating and exercise. The problem seems to come when things just go too far with regard to recommendations for "healthy" eating and weight loss.
Pennsylvania: My daughter (freshman in college) told me about a food-related problem her roommate is having.
Frequently, the roommate buys junk food, chews it up, and spits it out. She doesn't actually binge and purge, but apparently does this to "enjoy" junk food consequence free. She eats healthy food normally.
This seems bulimia-like, but until a few days ago, I had never heard of such a thing. Is this a recognized eating disorder?
Finally: I know it's not any of my business to intrude in this situation, but should I encourage my daughter to do so? (Report to her resident assistant or counseling service?)
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: If your daughter is concerned, she could raise the concern with her roommate. In raising concerns it is important to find a good time to talk (when relaxed), express your concern for the person (because you care about the person), discuss specific behaviors that you've seen, and recommend that the person talks with someone (e.g., a counselor) to get some help. This behavior sounds disturbing to me -- but I don't know how intense it is. I always say that it isn't our job (as parents or friends) to make a diagnosis -- but rather to show our concern and get the individual to a professional.
Charlottesville, Va.: How can parents of grade school-aged girls let their daughters know that all the skinny beauties on Disney Channel and other like-minded programming are the exception to the rule when it comes appearance?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Great question! As parents we can either reinforce such ideas or try to filter them out (at least somewhat). Here are a few ideas that parents can do:
1. Take a look at how you talk about weight -- your own, your daughter's weight, and other people's weight. Avoid talking about weight and make positive comments about people of different shapes and sizes. This will have a bigger impact on your child than the media...and it isn't too hard to do.
2. When your daughter (or son) is watching TV - make a comment about how actors/models don't really look like that - but are manipulated to look better.
3. Limit the types and amounts of negative media that come into your home.
"reading bread labels": Um -- I'm sure you didn't mean to sounds like people shouldn't be informed about what the ingredients are in the food they're buying.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Everything in moderation -- check if the bread is whole grain -- and leave it at that. Particularly for someone with a history of an eating disorder.
Baltimore: I still can't bring myself to tell my family and friends, and continue to successfully hide that I am now bulimic. Perhaps it's because I don't want to stop. What can I do?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: It is natural to feel how you are feeling and many individuals with eating disorders are in a bind -- they want to get healthy but are afraid of letting go of their eating disorder. A well-trained team can help you get well. PLEASE get the help that you need. Go directly to see your family doctor or talk to an adult that can help you get to a professional. Your family and friends will be relieved that you have brought up the topic. Who knows -- maybe they are aware of the problem and don't know how to bring it up. Do it today. Thank you for reaching out and good luck!
Ontario, Ore.: Dianne: As parents of a 13-year-old daughter who has been struggling with bulimia since puberty we are very confused (and divided) about two issues. First, whether or not to try and intervene directly when she begins to binge. Some books tell us to not interfere with her (restricting access to the kitchen, following her around the house or implementing consequences when she begins her cycle) but to simply redirect her to something else while reminding her of the physical consequences of binging and purging and assuring her of our love and support. However, this strategy seems very inadequate and has had very limited success. Next, are their any good studies which indicate that anti-depressant medication can help with bulimia -- I would like my daughter to try them but my wife is dead set against it. And yes, my daughter has been visiting a therapist but we have not witnessed very encouraging results since she began the visits around five or six months ago. Sorry for the windiness of this inquiry but we are about at our wits end.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Having a child with an eating disorder can be very hard on families -- so make sure to get the help that you need so that together you can help your daughter. Here are some thoughts:
Talk with your daughter's therapist about your concerns. Have a specific list of questions and see if she/he can address them or send you elsewhere. Anti-depressants can help with bulimia but I don't know your daughter's situation so it is good to discuss with the therapist.
See if there is a parent support group in your area -- go to the Anna Westin Foundation Web site to see if there is a support group in your area. Parents need help also with these difficult problems.
Good luck!
Reston, Va.: How do you reconcile the widespread concern with childhood obesity and the growing problem of eating disorders in young people? I'm afraid to even talk about food choices and healthy eating anymore, for fear of triggering some poor kid's anorexic tendencies...it just seems like such a minefield.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: I'm with you on your concern...it is what I spend most of my time talking and thinking and writing about! The trick is to make it easier for our kids to engage in "normal" eating and activity and feel good about their bodies within a society that works against both. We are surrounded by huge portion sizes of foods high in calories and high technology that makes us sedentary. But we are also surrounded by images of lean and muscular young men and women. No wonder our youth are confused. But we can do a lot within our homes, schools, and communities to make a change. For ideas about what to do in our home see my previous answer regarding the four cornerstones that I wrote about in my book.
Northern Virginia: What is your opinion on the Maudsley approach in the treatment of eating disorders?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: The research suggests that it can be very effective.
Philadelphia: As someone who suffers from an eating disorder, how can I model healthy behavior so that my children will not themselves develop unhealthy eating habits and attitudes?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Well the fact that you are asking the question shows that you are going in the right direction. I would encourage you to talk with your therapist about this issue. A great motivation to getting well can be setting an example for our children. That said -- we all have our issues -- and can minimize their impact on our children by avoiding certain behaviors in their presence, watching how we talk about things, and being honest about the problems we have had. Good luck!
Washington, D.C.: I know eating disorders are generally associated with teens and young women -- with the assumption that they eventually "grow out of it" either with or without help. I'm wondering how prevalent middle-age eating disorders are -- with more ability to financially support (and hide) an eating disorder, my guess is that there are a number of women who never let go. I've been bulimic since I was 19 -- I'm 42 now and still binging/purging at least once a day.
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Thank you for sharing. Yes there is more and more discussion about the prevalence of eating problems in adults. You are not alone. Can you find a therapist who can help you? Go to the National Eating Disorders Web site to find someone who specializes in adult care.
Oxon Hill, Md.: Two questions...I've heard that you never fully recover from an eating disorder, especially if you've had it for a very long time. Is this true? I've also heard that anorexia can shoot your metabolism into overdrive. What are the experts saying now? What about former anorexics that have trouble keeping weight on even though they are eating normal amounts...is that common?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Full recovery is difficult -- but it can and does happen. I don't know the answer to your second question.
D.C.: I am also bulimic and am able to successfully hide it. I know it's a problem and I know it's unhealthy and I am still unable to stop. My question is...If I know I need to stop but can't stop, how is a psychologist or family doctor going to persuade me to stop?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: It isn't a matter of persuasion but helping you work through whatever it is you need to do and giving you the skills to overcome the eating problems. PLEASE give it a try. You will be so much happier and the results for bulimia nervosa treatment are very successful.
Virginia: Normally, I would consider obesity a matter of personal responsibility, but when I see the crazy stuff that even our schools and community do (or do not do) to undermine healthy habits, I am furious. The Post recently reported that Virginia Beach Schools were serving lunch at 9 a.m. to students. Lunches are notoriously unappealing and rushed. PE classes? Those seem to be nearly universally dreaded-would an adult go to a gym to spend a miserably 40 minutes and then yelled at to be dressed and out in five minutes? There are very few sidewalks along streets (you can't even tell your kid to get off their fanny and walk). Silly stuff like this abounds... Are there any advocacy groups out there to pressure for some very basic common sense changes in our schools?
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Yes there are a lot of positive changes going on in our schools. Advocacy groups ARE making a difference!
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer: Looks like my time is up and I see that there are still unanswered questions. I hope that some of my answers to the other questions will be of help to those who didn't get their questions answered. All of us reading the questions can see the pain that eating disorders have caused individuals and families. We NEED to make the prevention of eating disorders a high priority within our homes, schools and communities. We can all do our piece -- the next time you hear a negative comment about weight speak up against it. Take a look at how you talk about weight and make an effort to avoid negative weight comments about yourself or about others. Try to help those around you feel good about who they are! Thanks for your questions and all of your insight.

Rod McCormick was a young customer in Jim's Cafe who tried his chances with Gail Tilsley with the atrocious chat-up line of "'Ere, Debbie Harry! Do you want to strut your stuff?" after putting a record on the jukebox. Gail described him as a Fonz-wannabe and rebuffed his offer, saying she didn't do cabaret. A more direct Elsie Tanner asked him aloud which planet he came from.

Types of Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are a convenient and adaptable method for email users to manage electronic mail distributions. These lists are typically used, and are subsequently named, for one of two purposes: announcement and discussion lists. Announcement lists are used to distribute email to a group of email addresses for newsletters, periodicals, and marketing materials. Discussion lists are used to provide a forum for individuals to participate in moderated or un-moderated discussions on topics of particular interest to them.

"rude secretary and lost referral"
About: William Harvey Hospital William Harvey Hospital Ashford TN24 0LZ
Posted by Anonymous
when I first had a fast track referral it was lost by the hospital and I had to ask my GP to send it again. I then had a biopsy and was told in a letter a nurse would ring me with the results. I was not happy to have my results given to me over the phone by a nurse and so I phoned my consultant s secretary. I was very upset when I phoned, the secretary raised their voice to me and was quite rude, when I expressed I did not like their tone of voice or the way they were talking to me they said " I don't like the way your talking to me" and hung up. This is absolutely disgusting when you are dealing with someone who has already had cancer and is waiting to find out if it has come back
Response from William Harvey Hospital nearly 2 years ago
I'm so sorry to hear about this, especially when you must have been quite anxious about your results and the lost referral.
Please would you contact PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service) with more details and we will look into this.

Blue Angel & Nataly Von - My Little Apartment
Released: October 31, 2014
It's morning and Nataly Von awakens. Taking care not to wake her companion, she pads out of the room wearing only the white panties she slept in, visits the bathroom, and then walks softly to the kitchen where she begins to prepare breakfast. When the eggs begin to sizzle in the pan Blue Angel emerges from her slumber and joins Nataly in the kitchen. The couple begin to kiss and flirt, and Andrej Lupin's stylish slice of domestic life, "My Little Apartment" begins. Seeking a more comfortable location for their flirtation the couple move to the living room sofa. Here Blue Angel becomes more assertive, urging Nataly to lie back and enjoy it. After kissing her way down Von's slender body Blue Angel sucks and licks the white cotton crotch of her partner's panties. Then she pulls the fabric to the side and eats her now-exposed pussy. With two thrusting fingers sliding in and out, and a soft, wet tongue flicking across her clitoris it's not long before Nataly is moaning with orgasm. With Blue Angel now positioned on all fours and ready for an orgasm to call her own, Nataly approaches her from behind and begins to suck and kiss Angel's pussy. After Blue Angel rolls onto her back Von continues to lick and finger her moist flesh until orgasm erupts. Giggling and kissing, the lovers savor their shared pleasure. Spontaneous, subtle, and delicately beautiful, there are big erotic treats to be enjoyed in "My Little Apartment."

I've been underwhelmed (if that's a word) by the list of common ports used on the Apple platform recently, so I started my own. It's available at http://krypted.com/guides/common-apple-ports/ if you're interested. It's also under the Tools menu of the site. And yes, I'm aware that I can cat /etc/services; this includes some rudimentary notes.

Love this phone it works great, glad I did my research and the pictures are great everyone says they are so clear. Plus the phone itself great, the features are awesome as well. I am loving this phone.
am usin htc g11, n d bat. Is jst gud, n i am thnkin of going 4 htc one x, bt al ur coments ar friking me out, am confusd n dnt knw wot 2 do, i lv htc phones.
would you rather choose htc one x+ or the infinix zero and why. I'm in a serious fix right now i don't know which one to go for
I have one and I'm very happy with it. it's my second HTC phone, my first was the desire S. It's my favourite company for sure. My boyfriend has the ONE X and it also runs perfectly.
Worst phone ever. It gets so hot, you can cook omelet on it.
camera open for 3 mins phone reboots. Maps Drains your battery. NEVER BUY HTC AGAIN :thumbsdown:
HTC mobile's camera quality is outstanding. Funcations also nice. But Any call recorder app will not work. Battery back up and incall voice is not satisfactory. Video Quality outstanding. Overall 3.5/5..
I have been using HTC and this is my second phone from HTC. MY first was wildfire and now I using HTC oneX plus. I was using just for standard and now I really understand HTC is one whole shit company because they charge a lot for phone and does not meet the quality. My phone bottom 3 button's are not working and when I searched almost plenty of people have same issues. My Warranty just completed and i have maintaining good looking but no use because of this major problem.
I never recommend anyone to buy HTC because they charge a lot more and does not meet quality even 40 %. This is my only opinion.
Is nice voice problem when on calll. Battery not more then 7 hrs. I have tried call recorder app it dose not work in this. Any boby knows which app will work on this phone I have tried all allmost frm play store.
htc one x plus is an amazing mobile phone. i was having htc one x then i gont plus both are amazing ones 5/5 certaily.
I have been using HTC One X+ (64GB Variant) since 18 months. Honestly, this was one of the best phones at the time but somehow lost its charm to other phones. The most obvious drawback is the battery. With moderate use, it drains in about 7-8 hours flat. I carry a powerbank to make it through the day. If you are traveling and don't turn off data/network, the phone will die without any use in 7 hours. Second, it heats up real fast. Sometimes its difficult to talk and if forced to use an earphone. After 18 months of use, the phone jack has started malfunctioning, phone audio volume has died and network drops frequently. To have invested Rs. 28000 just 18 months back, I was expecting the phone to be worth it. Totally let down by limitation in OS version. HTC doesn't allow any firmware update so I am stuck with 4.2 Jelly bean while dirt cheap phones flank latest versions. Can't use any android wear. Such a shame!!
I have this phone since 2012, it is great device, however camera is failing after 6-9 month of usage. In this time I had camera replaced for my device, and it still failed after half year. I got on other one x plus, ant camera failed for this one also, so in my case had 3 times camera failure, really disapointing.
Sorry, but I will try other brand now, I was HTC fan for over 5 years, but camera problems just made me leave this manufacturer.
Jonny, 18 Dec 2014this phone has 8MP in the main camera , however, when I check it with hardware info as well as... moreHi dear friend
I think you are taking wide photos
For 8mp performance you should put it in regular mode not wide mode.
From iran
this phone has 8MP in the main camera , however, when I check it with hardware info as well as Antutu benmark, it just 6MP. I don't know why. Does anyone know it?
Anonymous, 30 Sep 2014Decent device plagued by the worst battery life I've experienced in a device. Great storage, a... moreSpot on mate. Great phone but desperately let down by awful battery.
Manageable if you sit at a desk all day as you can leave it plugged into your pc but try and go for a day out somewhere and by lunchtime you're phoneless.
To make things worse the phone is a sealed unit so you can't change the battery either and after two years use mine's pretty much had it.
I am using HTC one x 32gb model s720e it has some battery draining problem . If I charged phone 100% in night and switch off the phone after getting early morning if I switched on it will drain battery level to 14% battery low . It show . If don't switching it off it will not get drain soon it will show in morning above 88%.level battery indicates. So I am confused what is it's problem is software or hardware . So I changed orginal battery but it's also same result . Any one can help to solve this issue
try other brands instead of HTC. i bought HTC one X plus in KSA after almost 10 months of using the phone it shuts-off suddenly, i thought it was just low bat, i charged it but to no avail. the technician told me that the motherboard and lcd was burned. just wasted my money on this phone!
Nothing wrong with the phone. Getting hot, just not a problem with hardware.
I can solve the overheating problem just like that.
Disable all the apps that have Google in their name including Google service framework, Play and market feed back and just don't forget the boss Chrome browser. (Even if you don't use them) . Use built in Android browser.
Does pure aosp 4.4.4 htc one one x plus or any other rom supports BEATS audio? And can I get HTC sense in custom roms?
dear all (who posted comments above)htc one x plus got 2100 mah battery ,not 1800.It is for one x ,fitted with 1800 mah, and both sets r different...
Hi Htc...

Abhirati (Sanskrit; "The Joyous") (妙樂世界) is the eastern Buddhafield or Pure Land associated with Akshobhya, one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, in Mahayana Buddhist traditions. It is described in the Akṣobhya-tathāgatasya-vyūha Sūtra. Though emergent in early Mahāyāna, Abhirati is far less widely known than Sukhāvatī, the Pure Land of Amitabha.

We always get take out from Curry in a Hurry and it is always good and a good value. You do want to be careful about the heat level you select since the amount of hot seems to vary depending on who does the cooking.
I live within a mile. I am on a restricted diet and cannot eat soy or wheat. They always help me choose what to eat. Their peanut sauce is wonderful.
The Thai food was disgusting. Mushy noodles, bland tasting, everything that a Thai restaurant shouldn't be. No reason to stop - look for another.

The "Big Z" issued his pay me or lose me ultimatum, but Cubs general manager Jim Hendry isn't panicking.
"I'm not concerned about that at all. In fact, I think when he gets here, he'll probably clear that up," Hendry said of Carlos Zambrano's contract talk, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. ''That wouldn't make much sense to take that stance. I think what he probably meant -- well, I'll let him speak for himself -- but what his agent has represented to me is that if we don't have something done by Opening Day, we'll table it for another time. That's the Carlos that I know, but I'll let him speak for himself. But [the ultimatum] would certainly be totally different than what I have been told."
Zambrano and the Cubs are currently due to go to salary arbitration Feb. 20, with Zambrano seeking $15.5 million and the Cubs offering $11.025 million.
"Whatever happens, I don't want to know [anything] about a contract during the season. I want to sign with the Cubs before the season starts," Zambrano said in an interview on WGN-TV. "If they don't sign me, sorry, but I must go. That's what Carlos Zambrano thinks."
The Cubs spent lavishly during the offseason, forking over nearly $300 million to bring aboard Alfonso Soriano and Ted Lilly and re-sign Aramis Ramirez in an effort to turn around last year's NL-worst 66-96 record.
During the annual Cubs Convention, Zambrano, when asked whether he will test free agency next season, repeatedly said "This is a business" and noted that Barry Zito's seven-year, $126 million deal helped raise his value on the free-agent market.
"When you're a great pitcher and have talent, you deserve the money no matter who gives it to you," he said. "Zito is a great pitcher. Good for him he has that contract, and I think that will help me.
"[Cubs general manager] Jim [Hendry] spent a lot of money. I hope he has more for 'Big Z,'" he said.
Zambrano, who became the Cubs' staff ace when Kerry Wood and Mark Prior went down with injuries, went 16-7 with a 3.41 ERA in 2006. For his career he's 64- 42 with a 3.29 ERA in 977 innings.

Top Review by ImPat
I really had to restrain myself to eat this nice and slowly instead of gobbling it all down. I used to whole eggs (for 1 person - me) and followed through but I only had dry dill to add as it was pouring rain could not get out to herb garden to get the chives and then when I was eating I realized I forgot to put them in - put down to early morning brain dead. Thank you Mysterygirl for a great breakfast, made for All You Can Cook Buffet tag game.

The 2016 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 5 to 21, 2016. Rio will be the second city to host the Summer Games since Doomsday, following the city of Auckland, ANZC, in 2012.
Shortly after awarding the 2012 Summer Games to Auckland in October of 2006, the IOC put out a call for bids to host a second games in 2014. The deadline for the bids was set as November of 2009.
More interest arose than bids for the prospective 2010 games - several nations felt that they would have more time to organize and prepare.
The ANZC members, and other nearby states, declined to launch a bid, considering the recently-granted Auckland games to be a block on any such intentions. Several other states in the northern hemisphere, including several who had bid on the 2010 games, expressed great interest in bidding, but ultimately declined to do so, as several wars erupted in that area, namely against Saguenay, Superior, and the Sicilians, causing both damage and reducing the potential security of any such events. Bombings in Siberia, and tsunami damage in Japan, dissuaded those states from attempting a bid either.
This left, once again, an easy bid for the more "southern" states of the world to host the Olympics. Four cities eventually launched formal bids for the right to host the games: Bangkok, Thailand; Doha, Qatar; Monterrey, Mexico; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These bids were all in place several months prior to the date on which a vote would be held to decide the host.
On November 24, 2009, at the same meeting which they delayed the Auckland games by two years, the IOC voted to move the Games of the XXXI Olympiad to 2016.
This was also the same meeting at which they planned to decide the winner of the 2014 - now, 2016 - games. Apparently having discussed the move prior to the announcement with representatives of the bidding cities, all four stuck with their bids despite the date change.
Following a vote, the IOC committee awarded the games to what had been considered the city most likely to win, Rio de Janeiro.
Bangkok's bid was perhaps the most interesting of all. Having never bid for an Olympic event before, and being the first bid in Southeast Asia to make the attempt. However, unlike Doha, it did have the experience of hosting major international sporting events, namely three versions of the Asian Games, thought to be the second-largest international sporting event after the Olympics.
Fairly secure, it escaped one of the the most common problems for recent Olympic bids. It also held most, if not all, of the needed infrastructure to hold a successful games, along with the funds to build what was still needed, and the nation also contained plenty of other sites to hold matches for team events.
The city itself, however, did not have the overall well-being others were perceived to have, and its financial backing not considered as strong. Still, it was considered to be a bit of a "dark horse" bid, should the Mexican and Brazilian bids cancel each other out to some degree. This would, however, not end up being the case, as Rio de Janeiro won the right to host on the second ballot. Still, the city presented itself in a good manner, which should serve it well in future bids.
In a surprise move, the small, oil-rich nation of Qatar made its first ever bid for a major international sporting event with its bid for these Games. The bid, which was backed by the membership of the Gulf States Union, is the fourth bid made for the games by an Arab nation, following two bids by Egypt for Alexandria to host them in 1916 and 1936, and another bid by then for New Cairo to host the Games in 2012.
While the government promised that they would construct the needed facilities, and all members of the Union set to provide financial backing, a major concern was the virtual non-existence of needed facilities. While the IOC did not doubt that the Union could afford it, given its ever-increasing revenues from its resources, they doubted that facilities could be made ready in time.
Other concerns were security and the climate. The presence of nearby Iran, and the specter of Islamic terrorism rearing its ugly head, meant that any games held in the region would be a major security risk. The extreme heat of the desert during the summer, when the IOC preferred to hold the games, compared to the winter, when Qatar proposed they be held, hurt the bid as well. In the end, the bid came in last, and was eliminated after the first ballot. The IOC did not consider it safe, or nearly prepared enough, to host an Olympic Games.
Making its first bid for the Olympic Games, the city of Monterrey was selected as Mexico's entry into the bidding, over the cites of Guadalajara and Mexico City. It marked the fourth time that the country had bid for the games, with Mexico City having bid in 1956, 1960, and 1968, when it won the hosting rights and held a very successful games.
Monterrey's bid was considered by many to be one of the better bids, along with, but still rated lower than, the bid from Rio. In the end, it did come in second during voting, but Rio managed to secure the Games on the second ballot. The Mexican government promised that the city, which slightly lacked in facilities to host the games, would be ready if selected, with significant financial backing of the bid. However, this, combined with the city never having hosted a major international event before, proved to be a obstacle, and aided the IOC in its decision to not grant the games to the city.
Rio de Janeiro
Making the second Olympic bid for a Brazilian city, following the city's unsuccessful bid to host the 1936 Olympics, Rio's bid also had official backing from the SAC, and as a result was the official bid from both parties, selected over Caracas and Buenos Aires.
Given the results of the voting for the last Olympics, Rio was considered the favorite by many coming into the voting. This was proven accurate when, on the second ballot, the city did indeed win the right to host the games.
The size of the city, number of sporting venues in place, its successful hosting of FIFA World Cup games since the World Cup restarted in 1990, and it hosting the next one, in 2014, along with the stabilizing presence of the Pope within the city, are considered to have been reasons behind the success of the bid. Its success hosting many other past events is believed to have made the decision even easier.
During its meeting in October of 2013, the IOC is, in addition to picking which city will host the 2018 Winter Games, scheduled to determine which sports will appear at the games. It is thought that most, and likely all, of the events competed in during the Auckland Games will return. Currently, the only event that will defintely be added to the Games is going to be Womens' Weightlifting.
Golf, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Sambo, and Squash are all believed to be up for consideration to be included. A maximum of thirty sports will be contested at the Games.

Hello, I'm John. I'm on FundMe to raise money to treat my cancer holistically, since allopathic treatments are failing. This isn't my first challenge; I was born with Cystic Fibrosis and have endured two, double lung transplants, the first in 2001, the second in 2008.
A few things I enjoy are Yoga, music, travel, being outdoors, riding my motorcycle and spending time with family and friends. Unfortunately the last couple of years have prohibited me from fully enjoying some of these activities. I'm also very close to completing a Master degree at Ramapo College in New Jersey.
I'm here to raise money so that I may participate in holistic methods of healing. The hope is that through these alternative methods I can cure and eradicate my cancer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/11/2013 (1369 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Plans for the new East Elmwood Community Centre were revealed at an open house at Hampstead School on Nov. 12.
Approximately 30 people were in attendance as representatives from BridgmanCollaborative Architecture showed off the firm's plans to replace the old site, which was lost in a fire in March 2011.
The original East Elmwood Community Centre was located at 927 Beach Ave., but the new location will rise in Keenleyside Park at 490 Keenleyside St.
After the old centre was lost, the City of Winnipeg held numerous community consultations with area residents to identify what features residents would most like to see in the new building. As a result, the new centre will be an accessible building with a 5,375-square-foot gymnasium, an 860-square-foot multi-purpose room, a 360-square-foot kitchen, and a 644-square-foot skate change area to be used when the new outdoor rink is completed.
The wading pool, play structure, and one baseball field and soccer pitch presently at the site will all remain with the new plan.
City of Winnipeg community development and recreation services manager Dan Prokopchuk is particularly excited for the centre's environmental initiatives — including 21 bicycle parking spaces, low-flow plumbing features, using day-lighting and natural light as much as possible, and high efficiency heating and cooling systems.
"It's going to be a beautiful, brand-new building for the community to use for years to come," Prokopchuk said. "We're really happy that it's going to be very environmentally-friendly, a green building."
Before construction begins, developers will need to be approved for a variance from the city, as they are proposing to have only 43 parking spots on the site in order to maximize recreational space on the site. Developers said during the meeting that there will be extra parking space offered on the soccer pitch during the winter.
The new site, estimated to cost $4.8 million, is anticipated to be completed by December 2014.

Where do "SEEDLESS" Watermelons come from?
|Share the ♥
When a run-of-the-mill watermelon and a souped-up frankenmelon love each other very much, they come together and make a baby seedless wundermelon.
Seedless watermelons are a lot like mules – sterile hybrids formed by crossing genetically incompatible parents. Normal, seeded watermelons are diploid (have 2 sets of chromosomes) just like us, with one set from mom and one from dad. When the two combine, their seeds grow into a plant that looks like a combination of its parents. Just like us.
But sometimes farmers treat some of their watermelons with colchicine, a chemical that allows chromosomes to duplicate but prevents them from splitting into two cells. This creates a tetraploid – a super-squash with four complete sets of chromosomes. The fruit isn't genetically modified; cells contain the same DNA as standard melons – just twice as many.
Next, the farmer introduces this new tetraploid watermelon to a regular melon. If they hit it off, they'll produce a triploid melon with 3 sets of chromosomes. This offspring will grow up to be a normal looking vine that produces flowers and fruit. But when it tries to reproduce, the chromosomes can't divide properly. This means that real seeds never develop.
Those Little White Things
But wait a second – what are those soft white shells in the supposedly seedless melon that look like the tiny, underdeveloped seeds? These are the ovules (also called "pips"), the part of the plant that would become the seed in a normal watermelon. It's really just soft coating – you can't actually plant them.
