ScienceDaily (Feb. 13, 2012) — A University of South Carolina study shows that Mexican-American youth gain pounds as they move away from the dietary habits of their native country, a move that is putting them at risk for serious health problems.
According to the research, conducted by a team in the Arnold School of Public Health and published in the February issue of the Journal of Nutrition, Mexican-American youth born into second- and third-generation families are more likely to be obese than those who were not born in the United States.
"Mexican-American children are disproportionately affected by obesity," said Dr. Jihong Liu, the lead author of the paper. "This has serious public health consequences because Mexican Americans are the fastest growing segment of the population. They are a very important population to study."
Few studies have examined the impact of both immigration and a child's acculturation on obesity, she said. "Most are focused on adults, who are at increased risk for obesity with each generation."

The letters of support Galesburg officials have been collecting for the past three weeks to send to Caterpillar Inc. and urge the corporation to locate here weren't even placed in the mail before Cat officials decided that Illinois was not the destination for its new manufacturing plant.
Mayor Sal Garza said Wednesday that city staff were caught "off-guard" by the timing of Caterpillar's leaked announcement to forgo Illinois entirely and locate the plant close to its divisional headquarters in Cary, N.C. But he said Cat officials did make a courtesy call to the city Tuesday night to thank Galesburg for its interest in the plant. The officials told the city its efforts were both "assertive and progressive," Garza said.
"We knew this was a very long shot from the very beginning," Garza said, adding, "We wouldn't change anything. Quite frankly, I'm very proud of the effort the Galesburg team put forward on this, and we were highly complimented by the Caterpillar corporation for it."
Starting in late December, Galesburg officials embarked on a strategy to lure Caterpillar's new North American plant, and its 1,000 jobs, to a city that has been longing for a major manufacturer since Maytag closed its doors.

Kia was named best mainstream brand in terms of 5-year total ownership costs, with the Soul winning in the Compact segment.
There are plenty of bargain-priced cars, trucks and crossovers, but that doesn't always mean they add up to a good deal. Smart shoppers know that there are lots of ways costs can quickly get out of control when you own a car, from insurance to fuel economy to maintenance and repairs.
And that's why a new study from Kelly Blue Book is focusing on what really matters: the total cost of ownership. And there, the data-tracking website concludes, Kia is the clear stand-out, as the top brand among all manufacturers when the entire ownership experience is tallied up. Audi, meanwhile, was the number one luxury brand in terms of total cost of ownership.

Deer Resistant Vegetables and Herbs
taken from NW Farms and Food
If you want to minimize deer damage in an open garden, its best to start with plants that deer don't like. Deer will "browse" on most anything when wild food sources are low. Some garden edibles, however, are less attractive to these voracious munchers than others.
Certain plants, such as rhubarb, are toxic to deer. Deer usually also avoid root vegetables (which require digging) and prickly vegetables such as cucumbers and squashes with hairy leaves. Sharply-odored cultivars like onions, garlic and fennel are not palatable to deer. Similarly, strongly-scented marigolds and herbs can direct deer away from favored munching plants.
British spiritualist, William T. Stead, wrote a tale similar to Futility "How the Mail Steamer went down in the Mid Atlantic, by a survivor" appeared in the March, 1886 issue of Pall Mall Gazette. In this story, Stead tells of a large steamship that sinks after colliding with another ship.
Many lives are lost due to lack of lifeboats. Stead wrote that, "This is exactly what might take place and what will take place, if the liners are sent to sea short of boats". Stead was travelling to the United States at the request of President Taft to address a peace conference at Carnegie Hall on April 20, 1912. Stead sat calmly in the library reading a book as the North Atlantic sea water came rushing in as the ship he was traveling on sank.
That ship was the Titanic. Stead did not survive.
William T. Stead also authored the novel From the Old World to the New. In this book, he describes the sinking of a ship in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. To add to the irony, the captain of the ship which picked up the survivors, was Edward J. Smith — the eventual captain of Titanic.

I have always enjoyed prose over poetry. Always. Some of the reason behind this preference is my unwavering and passionate love of literature. I remember my first favorite series. The Cam Jansen mystery books.
I digress.
Now back to poetry.
I've been taught all through high school and into my first years in college that poems have one meaning. The poet had one idea or theme in mind while writing his or her poem. This is what is it. Nobody cares what you think it means, Claire.

Why is it that when a celebrity debuts her new weave hairstyle, we blogs have to write a new post about it?
As far as I'm concerned, weave is no different from lacefronts or wigs; it's all artificial hair to me. So why make a big deal about it? Did the media in the 60s write articles every time Diana Ross debuted a new wig?

OSIM, better known for its advanced massage chairs, has begun selling a US$170 thumb-sized USB massager which uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS – the same technology you first witnessed in biology when your teacher made a dead frog's leg twitch using electrical current), to deliver a suite of specialized massage programmes from your laptop. It's a pretty good fit of technologies because you can synch the massage to your computer's music player and massage away stress, and tone up using the tapping, squeezing and kneading of the uPixie on specific muscle groups … while you are working. There are four set programmes on the uPixie, but you can also write and develop your own routines, opening up a whole host of possibilities. The Osim uPixie is actually fairly rudimentary as far as EMS machines go.
Vera Wang wrote in her show notes that she was inspired by stylish American women such as Lady Emerald Cunard and Wallis Simpson, who mixed with English aristocracy in the 1930s. Their free-spiritedness was probably what she had in mind when she paired technical outerwear with delicate, 1930s-inspired pleated chiffon dresses.

Yesterday I wrote an article on why I view the inevitability of an Obama defeat at the hands of Romney to be less than inevitable. Mostly I attributed this to weakness on a core issue: Obamacare. From my view, Romney cannot adequately take on this topic so long as he insists on defending the principles put forth in Romneycare.
His state's rights position plays ok with the base, but I believe it will be less than compelling to the general electorate when it comes time to decide what separates Obama & Romney on this issue.
In passing, I mentioned that Gingrich, who previously supported the mandate as well, has since determined that he was wrong and will take that to his debates with Obama should he win the nomination. I based that on this exchange which took place in the South Carolina debate earlier this month:
For the video impaired, Santorum attacked Newt on his support of mandates and questioned his ability to truly stand up to Obama on this issue of healthcare reform, to which Newt responded:
"Of course you can. I'd say, you know, I was wrong and I figured it out. You were wrong and you didn't."
Santorum quickly pointed out that after holding the position strongly for over 10 years, it may not fly in the debates.
When I witnessed this exchange, I decided that Newt had done an adequate enough job of acknowledging that he'd made a mistake and that overall, I was satisfied.
That was before I saw a video at Verum Serum.
NEWT GINGRICH CONFERENCE CALL ON THE WHITE HOUSE HEALTH REFORM INITIATIVE
The real foundation, the most important, uh, part of this is individual rights, responsibilities, and expectation of behavior.
I posted an extended guest entry on Crooks and Liars earlier today explaining why I think Ann Coulter should not be ignored by the online community. Since Coulter-fatigue is setting in, I'm posting the entire essay below to reiterate why I believe it's premature to drop the issue and why the media should be held accountable for giving her a platform.
First this (via QandO), from an interview on Right Wing News:
John Hawkins: How about dashing off a quick sentence or even just a word or two about the following individuals...
John Murtha: The reason soldiers invented "fragging."
Here's the definition of "fragging" for those who don't know:
"Frag is a term from the Vietnam War, most commonly meaning to assassinate an unpopular member of one's own fighting unit by dropping a fragmentation grenade into the victim's tent at night. A fragging victim could also be killed by intentional friendly fire during combat. In either case, the death would be blamed on the enemy, and, due to the dead man's unpopularity, no one would contradict the cover story. The intended victim of a fragging was sometimes given warnings, of which the first might be a grenade pin on the sheet of the victim, and later on, a tear gas grenade."Here's how a rightwing blogger reacts:
"Absolutely disgusting. I have very little love for Mr. Murtha - and I recently agreed with his opponent Diana Irey when she said his words and actions of late were not that of a patriot. But there's no excuse - NONE - for the allusion to soldiers who kill other soldiers. It's despicable - and frankly, so is Coulter."Yet NBC, a major U.S. media outlet, has given Coulter extended play in recent days. They have knowingly given a public forum to a woman who slandered 9/11 widows and who is now on the record identifying a U.S. Congressman, a Marine, as an ideal target for murder.
Here's how I view the Coulter problem (as posted on C&L):
Necessary Information

Minimal – $150 (liability insurance, advertising campaigns or flyers)
Substantial _ $1000 (putting together any employee team)
Escape – even period – One week to a few dresses for juniors months
Estimate involving Annual Revenue in addition to Profit

The number of most women working outside the property has now exceeded the 45 million make and continue to grow.

Starting up a business in this marketplace requires very low no no hair removal 1st expenses and, various other that good organizational ability and not hating housework, not a great deal of expertise. It is also an industry where one can work alone essentially doing hands-on work or spend time managing a pair of employees and rounding right up jobs. There are really only three parts of overhead expenses it is important to worry about: advertising, items and insurance.
Clearing up
Of course the support you'll be providing will be house cleaning, and you in all probability know hoe to clean a residence. But that doesn't mean you are aware how to run a house maintaining business.

It seems that most people are afraid of being bitten by a pest and for good reason. No one wants to have the pain or discomfort of this kind of thing and especially if they've heard horrible stories from those who have been bitten. One pest in particular brings out the most fear in people and that is the brown recluse spider. Only snakes and black widows seem to rival the folk lore associated with a bite but in the end I think the recluse is the most dreaded. The stories that have been told of deep wounds and limbs needing to be cut off because of a bite fuel this fear but in reality the recluse is limited to a small region of the United States so it seems unlikely that all of the reports could be true. The recluse however enjoys a legend that spreads all across the states and all it wants to do is live a quiet and peaceful life.
In a January 9, 2012, decision by Justice Bucaria, the court denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment as pre-mature and granted defendants' motion for leave to amend its answer to allege the statute of frauds as an affirmative defense.

Today's installment of Dear Mark covers two questions. In the first, a reader wonders whether or not all those mysterious omegas popping up lately are worth taking. Are omega-3s enough, or should we be supplementing with omega-5s, omega-7s, and omega-9s as well? Read on to find out. Then, I take on a question about exercise for a mostly sedentary 40-something whose only source of activity is a weekly jog. I give him a few pointers and direct him to some relevant literature. I expect if he follows my advice he'll start putting on significant amounts of lean mass.
Let's go.
I've read all your articles on fish oil and the importance of balancing one's intake of omega-3s with omega-6s. Lately I've been seeing fish oil supplements that claim they contain all omegas (3,5,6,7,9). Is this more, less, or equally beneficial than just taking omega-3 fish oil supplements?
Jessie
Ah, yes, the mysterious omega-5, -7, and -9 fatty acids. How foolish were we to think omegas-3 and -6 were enough!
Let's learn about them, shall we?
