The Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Here to help you make healthier food choices, the United States Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) provide all of us with dietary guidelines based on the most current and reliable scientific information available.
The most recent (2010) Dietary Guidelines for Americans places stronger emphasis on reducing calories and increasing physical activity. They encourage us to eat more healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products, and seafood and to cut back on sodium, saturated and trans fats, added sugars, and refined grains.
Unlike the 2005 release of the Dietary Guidelines, the newest (2010) version treats obesity in the United States as a crisis. This means, many of the recommendations were made with an aim to slim down the waist lines of Americans.
Give Your Diet a Tune-Up
The guidelines provide concrete action steps, such as the following, to make translating the recommendations into your everyday life easier:
- Enjoy your food, but eat less.
- Avoid oversized portions.
- Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
- Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
- Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals – and choose the foods with lower numbers.
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
More consumer-friendly advice and tools, are available at ChooseMyPlate.gov which replaced the MyPyramid.gov website.
Key Features of the Guidelines
The most recent update tightens many of the restrictions made in previous years. According to the release, the average American consumes 3400 mg of sodium per day (of which salt is the major contributor). Under the guidelines, we should be consuming less than 2300 mg of sodium per day, but ideally somewhere closer to 1500 for people over 51 years old, all African Americans, and people at high risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease (1500 mg of sodium is equal to less than one half a teaspoon of salt). The majority of salt is consumed through eating processed foods, as compared to added table salt.
Also, the guidelines drastically reduced the percentage of calories that Americans should take in from solid fats and sugars (which include: fat in all meats, butter, stick margarine, milk fat, table sugar, desserts, candy, sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages). Currently, Americans consume an average of 35% (or approximately 800 calories per day). Now, the guidelines urge most people to consume no more than 5 to 15% of calories from these foods. In doing so, the focus can then shift to eating more nutrient-dense foods (those with the most nutrition and health value).
While decreasing sodium, sugar, and solid fats in our diet, we are also encouraged to include a variety of lean protein foods, vegetables, fruit, whole grains and fat-free or low fat milk products. These foods give us key nutrients such as potassium, fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and more. The guidelines recommend that Americans eat lean proteins including at least two servings of fish per week, more seafood, lean meats, poultry (skinless), and eggs. Recommended plant protein sources include beans, soy products, unsalted nuts and seeds, which can also be used to satisfy a snack craving. In addition, half of the grains we consume should be whole grains, which naturally contain fiber and many nutrients that are missing in highly processed grains.
More Than a Diet
Through improved nutrition and physical activity, the recommendations are intended to give advice on achieving an overall healthy eating pattern that will help to:
- Promote health
- Reduce the risk of chronic diseases
- Reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity
The dietary guidelines have been released at a time when the majority of adults and one in three children are overweight or obese. These new and improved dietary recommendations give you the information you need to make thoughtful choices of healthier foods in the right portions and to complement those choices with physical activity.
Adopting the recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines can help you live a healthier, more physically active and longer life, as well as contribute to a lowering of health-care costs.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines are available at http://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/.
This article is based on the USDA and HHS news release USDA and HHS Announce New Dietary Guidelines to Help Americans Make Healthier Food Choices and Confront Obesity Epidemic posted 1/31/11 at http://www.fns.usda.gov/pressrelease/2011/004011.
Hope Through Research – You Can Be Part of the Answer!
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about diet and nutrition. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

Ever since Ancestry.com announced the shuttering of its fairly new Expert Connect service on Monday, the genealogy blogs and message boards have been filled with input, feedback, commentary, debate and overall a very productive introspection by the genealogy community. This introspection not only has dealt with how professional genealogists should be marketing their own services, but also about the role of Ancestry.com in the genealogy industry and the genealogy community.
I've already discussed what I feel are the motivations for such a move by Ancestry.com here. As a colleague asked, do I think the termination of Expert Connect is a positive or a negative? In short I'd say a positive for Ancestry.com operations, a negative for its image and role in the genealogy community, and yet still a positive for the genealogy community. Confused? Here's why:
- As I mentioned previously, Expert Connect was probably an operational and support nightmare. Imagine having to deal with customers who didn't know the first thing about hiring an expert to either do the genealogy research or assist them with their own research. Imagine having to arbitrate situations where the customer was not happy with the expert's service. Imagine processing refunds on commissions. I also expect that there may have been some liability issues as well as in a so-called expert misrepresenting themselves, taking money up-front etc. (Note: I don't know of any specific situation but you must admit it is in the realm of possibilities with such as service as Expert Connect). Eliminating Expert Connect was a good move in terms of Ancestry.com being able to commit such resources, time, energy and money elsewhere within the company.
- Did Ancestry.com bungle its handling of Expert Connect? It did as far as I can see, but I don't see where it could have done much more than it did. Many of the experts have complained that they deserved more than 8 days notification before their lifeline of income was truncated. I emphasized these words because they've actually been used in some of the discussions I've read. As stated by others, if Expert Connect was your only stream of income as a professional genealogist then you didn't have a solid business plan to begin with. And please don't use the word deserve which is so overused in American society. (Have you noticed lately, especially in commercials and other forms of marketing, how you deserve something instead of earn it? Talk about your sense of entitlement.) Businesses add features and then take them away. Is it a tease? Not really – some things don't work out. Is it poor planning? Perhaps, but also things can change such as the economy, industry trends, consumer tastes, etc. Is it fair? Again, fairness has nothing to do with this. Part of living under a capitalistic system is the ability to thrive economically but also one must be prepared to make one's own changes when changes come.
- I think the move, including the bungling, by Ancestry.com is a positive for the genealogy community. And I'm not saying this because I'm a "glass half-full" kinda guy. I say this because what we've witnessed as a community is an opportunity.So far, many of the service providers for Expert Connect have had to re-examine their business plans and look to improving their marketing skills – a good thing. Industry organizations like the Association for Professional Genealogists are jumping in to offer their services – a good thing. The genealogy community is talking, interacting, sharing ideas and giving a good hard look at Expert Connect and Ancestry.com – again, all good things.
Finally what do I hope we've learned or will learn as a community?
- That Ancestry.com has now come full circle in its detachment from and embracement of the genealogy community. You may recall some of Ancestry.com's previous boondoggles such as the copyright issues involving the Internet Biographical Collection back in 2007. Then, when they went public, Ancestry.com seemed to actively court the genealogy community through events, Bloggers Days, and more. Remember all the hype around Who Do You Think You Are? and its first season? How this was not just good for Ancestry.com but also good for the community? Did you feel the love? And now we seem to be – in my opinion – back to square one in terms of what Ancestry is willing to give to the community vs. what it wants from the genealogy community.
- As a community we can't put all our eggs in one basket. Just because Ancestry.com is the biggest player in the genealogy industry (for the time being), it doesn't mean we should make this our sole focus as a provider of content and services. Just as one would do with their financial portfolio, we should be diversifying where our commitments and our dollars go in terms of genealogy.
- Speaking of deserve, do we deserve better than a company that is positioning itself as the Microsoft of genealogy, a necessary evil to be dealt with? Again let's get rid of the "deserve" or "entitled to" concepts. Let's earn and work for what we get. I think the genealogy community has become complacent and often neglects the many other resources available. This is a prime opportunity for many vendors and organizations to jump in and fill what I see as a growing void of discontent. Look at what APG has done and is doing. Be prepared for more of this which is, again, a positive for the genealogy industry and community.
- Lastly, remember how your parents used to say, "dance with the one that brung ya?" Many feel the same way about their dance with Ancestry.com. From giving feedback on beta products, participating in message boards and more, there is not so much a sense of betrayal as there is a sense of disappointment. So why would you continue to dance with someone who steps on your toes, who is clumsy, or doesn't engage in conversation? The truth is you don't. Or you just dance until someone better comes along.

Belton, TX – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team dominated the first three quarters as the #2-ranked Cru rolled to a 49-31 victory over Texas Lutheran University Saturday night in Belton. UMHB jumped out to a 42-7 lead on the way to improving to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in American Southwest Conference play on the season. The loss drops the Bulldogs to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the ASC on the year.
The Cru scored on its opening possession when Michael Carpenter broke off a 52-yard scoring run to make it 7-0 just 1:16 into the game. Carpenter added a 19-yard touchdown run to push the lead to 14-0 with 9:00 remaining in the first quarter. Brent Peavy's eight-yard scoring scamper cut it to 14-7 just 1:09 later, but LiDarral Bailey broke off a 29-yard scoring run of his own to give UMHB a 12-7 edge at the end of the first quarter. It would stay 21-7 into the second half before Elijah Hudson's 29-yard TD run made it 28-7 early in the third quarter. Bailey added a 14-yard TD toss to Geoff Myles before Hudson scored again, this time on a three-yard run to give the Cru a 42-7 advantage six seconds into the fourth quarter. Texas Lutheran would score on Jo Jo Epps' three-yard run and a 77-yard strike from Trenton White to Cameron Peavy after the Cru began to make wholesale substitutions on both sides of the ball. Brian Gallagher would lead UMHB on a nine-play, 75-yard drive, capped by his one-yard keeper for a score to push the lead to 49-21. TLU would get a 59-yard field goal from Allen Cain and a 14-yard TD pass from White to Collin Bode to cut it to the final margin.
Hudson finished with 140 yards and two touchdowns on the ground for UMHB and Bailey added 101 rushing yards on six carries to go with 218 passing yards and another score. Myles caught eight passes for 148 yards. Javicz Jones topped the Cru defense with 14 tackles and Silvio Diaz added 10 stops and posted 2.0 sacks to become UMHB's career leader. Diaz broke Keith Zunker's previous school record of 19.0 by taking his total to 20.0.
White was 7-13 passing for 157 yards and two scores, all of it in the fourth quarter against UMHB reserves. Cameron Peavy caught eight passes for 161 yards and a score. Darnell Bohannon-Bey led the Bulldog defense with 13 tackles.
The Cru rolled up 410 rushing yards and 628 yards of total offense. Texas Lutheran finished with 380 total yards, much of it coming well after the game had been decided. UMHB posted six sacks and intercepted two passes in the victory.
The Cru has now won 29 consecutive regular season games and 21 straight ASC games. UMHB has also won its last 28 regular season home games.
UMHB will now travel to Pineville, Louisiana to take on Louisiana College in an 11:00 AM kickoff next Saturday. The Wildcats are 4-1 overall and 2-0 in ASC play and are ranked in the top 25 in the country in both national polls.

Although it has been just a few years since the city launched the pilot for the aeration project in English Kills, the Newtown Creek Alliance (NCA) says they plan to advocate for an entirely different approach and oppose expansion of the plan over the next three years.
NCA secretary Michael Heimbinder says the city's plan should be looking at solutions for combined sewage overflows (CSOs), something he says is the real problem with pollution in Newtown Creek.
"You're just blowing bubbles into filthy water," Heimbinder said. "If the only thing you're trying to do is improve dissolved oxygen levels, then yes, that will work. But will it fix the problem? No."
Heimbinder says the real focus should be looking at ways to reduce CSOs in the creek, something he expects is a solution that is just too expensive. CSOs occur during heavy rain events that cause raw sewage water from the surrounding communities to flow directly into the creek.
"They're not looking at the big picture," he said. "They're looking at, 'What's the cheapest way to meet the standards?' And this is the cheapest way to do that."
The aeration project has an estimated cost at roughly $115 million, however the NCA is looking towards the future dredging plans that would require dismantling the system for a deep clean and capping of the creek.
Heimbinder explained that implementation of an expansive aeration system would ultimately be dismantled in the event that the creek is dredged in the near future, similar to dredging plans at the Gowanus Canal.
"Why bother putting all that back in when conceivably, in years from now, you'll have to take it out," he asked.
Like the project in the Gowanus, the NCA noted that the city should look into ways of implementing a scaled-down approach to the aeration process as well as green infrastructure projects like storage tanks, permial pavement or green roofs.
"There are better ways to address CSOs than just flowing air into the creek," Heimbinder added.
The DEP responded to claims from the NCA, stating that the, "DEP has already built a Green Infrastructure Demonstration Area in the Newtown Creek."
"DEP will begin constructing hundreds of additional green infrastructure installations in the Newtown Creek drainage area this year," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson also cited a $335 million bioswale installation project in the watershed in order to prevent more than 1 million gallons of storm water from reaching the combined sewer system every year.
Community Board 5 Queens chair Vincent Arcuri said while he is confident in the sewage plants in Greenpoint, he is however unsure of the city's plan to aerate the creek.
"I don't know if they've looked at the big picture, and we need to tackle the big picture," Arcuri said. "We have the most advanced sewage treatment plants in the whole world over in Greenpoint."
Arcuri said his main disapproval for the aeration project is the vacant property slated for a city-operated control facility along the creek to monitor the project.
"The land that they're suing to put the facility on could be used for something better," he said. "You can't just throw another government plan into something that could be used for private development. We need jobs. We don't need more government development."

Lila NSR NSR Floral Chiffon Floral Dress Chiffon Lila Dress qqxr5f
Sprung rhythm
A metrical system devised by Gerard Manley Hopkins composed of one- to four-syllable feet that start with a stressed syllable. The spondee replaces the iamb as a dominant measure, and the number of unstressed syllables varies considerably from line to line (see also accentual verse). According to Hopkins, its intended effect was to reflect the dynamic quality and variations of common speech, in contrast to the monotony of iambic pentameter. His own poetry illustrates its use; though there have been few imitators, the spirit and principles of sprung rhythm influenced the rise of free verse in the early 20th century.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (1.5 pounds)
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (3 cups)
2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce (use provided recipe or 20 ounces in the can)
1-2 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, drained
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
12 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to four hundred degrees. Combine the chicken, 2 cups of the cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, the chiles and cilantro. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until warm & pliable (approximately 1 minute). Spread the warm tortillas out over a clean counter. Place 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling, then lay seam-side down in a 9×13″ baking dish lightly coated with vegetable oil spray. Lightly spray the enchiladas with vegetable oil spray. Pour 1 cup of the remaining sauce over the enchiladas to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheddar down the center of the enchiladas. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until the enchiladas are heated through, 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheddar browns, about five minutes longer. Serve, passing the remaining 1 cup of sauce.
Fast Enchilada Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chili powder (we adjusted to 1 teaspoon)
3 garlic cloves,minced
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons sugar
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
Heat the oil in a 12″ skillet over medium heat until shimmering. add the onion and salt and cook until softened, about five minutes. Stir in the chili powder, garlic, cumin, and sugar. Cook until fragrant, about fifteen seconds. Stir in the tomato sauce and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about five minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
