The terms "overweight" and "obesity" refer to body weight that's greater than what is considered healthy for a certain height.
The most useful measure of overweight and obesity is body mass index (BMI). BMI is calculated from your height and weight. For more information about BMI, go to "How Are Overweight and Obesity Diagnosed?"
Millions of Americans and people worldwide are overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese puts you at risk for many health problems. The more body fat that you have and the more you weigh, the more likely you are to develop:
- Coronary heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Gallstones
- Breathing problems
- Certain cancers
Your weight is the result of many factors. These factors include environment, family history and genetics, metabolism (the way your body changes food and oxygen into energy), behavior or habits, and more.
You can't change some factors, such as family history. However, you can change other factors, such as your lifestyle habits.
For example, follow a healthy eating plan and keep your calorie needs in mind. Be physically active and try to limit the amount of time that you're inactive.
Weight-loss medicines and surgery also are options for some people if lifestyle changes aren't enough.
Reaching and staying at a healthy weight is a long-term challenge for people who are overweight or obese. But it also is a chance to lower your risk for other serious health problems. With the right treatment and motivation, it's possible to lose weight and lower your long-term disease risk.

Obesity happens one pound at a time. So does prevention.09/07/2012
This video—presented by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health—shows that even a few extra pounds can affect your health and life more than you may think. Average people in a park—not actors—are asked to carry a 10-pound sandbag, and report how the added weight affects them and their ability to carry out normal, everyday activities.

Haven't read it yet.
I really liked this chapter Good pacing and character development. Here's my thoughts so far:
- We have confirmation that Tsunade's slugs come from the Shikkotsu forrest, that Kabuto mentioned
- Karin is freaky, she liked being stabbed by Sasuke..
- Suigetsu, Karin and Orochimaru's comic relief was good, weird seeing Orochimaru like that though
- And now Tsunade is healed, as predicted. Why would Dan come and give her chacra if she was just gonna die the next minute anyway?
- I truly hope Orochimaru isn't going to edo tensei Jiraya.. Dear God, we have enough epic characters in play right now, Kishimoto is having a hard time giving each of them enough panel time as it is.
- Sakura's fake smile is a nice reference to past chapters Even though that smile is weird as hell!
- And now we see Sasuke and Naruto perhaps first quarrel to be. Naruto wants to save those bijuu inside the ten tails. While Sasuke just wants to destroy them. And we still see that Sasuke isn't redeemed at all, he just have a shifted view on how to achieve his plans. He seems more and more like Madara and Obito in behaviour.
- And finally we see some more on Obito and Kakashi. Now, what's going to happen there is hard to tell. Obito already showed he don't feel any pain, and was stabbed through the heart without dying. Obviously he couldn't withstand numerous blows like that. He could in theory be cut in half, he wouldn't survive that would he? Kakashi on the other hand is truly cut through his body.
So, Kakashi can't survive this, if it isn't a bunshin. If that's the case, this will be the second death of main characters in this war. Neji and Kakashi. And I see a redemption of Obito after Kakashi's death as well. What would that lead to? Could lead to Madara and Sasuke teaming up, allthough I kinda doubt it. But if he doesn't, that means we have Edo Madara and the ten tails VS the four previous hokage's, Naruto, Sasuke and Juugo, the current Kage + Orochimaru, Karin and Suigetsu. I can't even begin to comprehend how Kishi would portrait that fight.. Clearly too many characters at the same time.
I knew Jiraiya's death was a major catalyst behind Orochimaru's shift in perspective. I wonder how sincere Oro's change of heart is compared to Sasuke's tenuous one.
I really liked this chapter! After a few weeks of chapters filled with filler action that actually slowed down the plot, this transition chapter gave us a lot of development and even advanced multiple subplots. We know Oro and the Kages are on the way. We can already see the fractures in Team 7's newly-restored bonds, even as we better understand the mending of Oro's forner bonds. And we eveb caught a glimpse of Kakashi vs Obito (for lnce not talking, skipping straight to a mutual kill).
Originally I also thought Obito's Mokuton body could be the reason (he's lost both arms at this point, so it's possible more than half his body is Zetsu goo). However, I can't see Kakashi tanking that hit unless some other factor is at work, and (while a good cliffhanger) it seems unlikely we'd actually jump straight to their fight's conclusion. Perhaps Obito and Kakashi can also both use Kamui's phasing ability now, so the trick is to become solid to attack, then de-solidify at the last second (in which case you'd think Kakashi's maleable Raikiri range would win out, although Obito has the stamina). There IS a lot of blood for that phasing to be the case, though.
okay okay so Orochimaru has changed some what and has a longer vision ...makes sense since hes immortal he shouldn't be in a rush.
- was hoping to get an explanation of Karin's bite marks and her powers.
- As I figured the Kages are coming back into the fight.
- Sasuke is not cured from his hatred and seems a bit silly that he thought he could simply burn the Jyuubi down.
- the final page is leaves us wondering is Kakashi going to die for real this time and Obito seems capable of surviving all manner of damage with that body.
Am I the only one who thinks Tsunade shouldn't look that old at age 50 lol I understand the chakra drain plays a role, but seriously, even though we never see her face, every time it happens, from the perspective we see, it appears as though she is in her 80's lol.
I do wonder about this "plan" Orochimaru has though. I also wonder what he discussed with Sasuke on the way to the abandoned Uzumaki shrine.
Good chapter after the slow pace of the last few.
So if Sasuke wants to destroy the Bijuu's to change the system then wont he have to destroy Naruto aswell? That could be the major catalyst for the fight after Naruto absorbs all the Bijuu. The first was not down with the idea, so that will help Naruto get them somehow.
- What Im interested in is Karin saying that if Tsunade keeps draining so much chakra that "she" meaning "Karin" would "get old".
- I wonder exactly how old Karin is?
- Tsunade was alive during Hashirama's time, is it safe to assume since Karin used the term "old" that she is close to Tsunade in age and therefore alive during Hashirama's time as well?
- Did she witness the destruction of her village?
- Does Karin have the same type of transformation technique as Tsunade to keep her age at bay?
- If it is the same technique is Karin related to Tsunade in any way seeing how the only people portrayed to have that technique are Mito, and Tsunade (now Sakura)?
- If Karin is indeed an old lady then why is she infatuated with Sasuke?
- Earlier in the Series Suigetsu was quoted saying "I know the truth, a long time ago you did something to Sasuke", in which she retaliated by caving his face in lol why all the hate?
What could she have done to Sasuke?
Naruto and Sasuke's final showdown will happen. I think it is going to be due to Sasuke's twisted (radical) idea of what the village should be clashing with Naruto idea of the village. We saw how Hashirama looked at them arguing.
Hah its hashirama vs madara kind of thinking in naruto and sasuke all over again. But really im more interested in kakashi/obito's story. I don't like how either 1 of them seems to be dying b4 having a reunion with minato.
Is there only one slug in all of Shikkotsu forest or something? Because they never seem to summon anyone but her.

Daniel Pink: We're all salesmen
Author Daniel Pink looked at an Orange County audience of educators, marketers, and entrepreneurs and told them that they were all salespeople. They might not sell tangible items in exchange for cash, he said, but they spend a good part of each day persuading others to give something in return for something they provide.
It's a concept that Pink referred to as non-sales selling. Employees persuade bosses to give raises. Professors persuade students to give their attention. Leaders persuade colleagues to join project teams. Workers spend an average of 24 minutes an hour doing non-sales selling, according to a survey of 7,000 full-time workers that Pink conducted for his latest book, "To Sell is Human."
"Like it or not, we're all in sales now," Pink told a crowd of about 150 Wednesday night at Irvine Barclay Theatre. "And here's the thing, a lot of you don't like it."
Pink, who worked as a speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore from 1995 to 1997, is the author of five books that explore the changing world of work.
He said the public perception of sales as a pushy, sleazy activity is a relic from the "buyer beware" climate of 20 years ago when sellers knew more than buyers.
The writer contends that we now live in a completely different world, an era where his mother can walk into a car dealer armed with a factory invoice of the car she wants to buy. Today's buyer often knows more than the seller. Pink said that a new adage for the modern marketplace is "seller beware."
This new backdrop of "information parity," where the salesperson no longer has an upper hand, requires a new sales approach, Pink said. He identified three abilities (pitch, improvise, and serve) and three qualities people need to succeed in this new era of sales: buoyancy (handling rejection), clarity (distilling information) and attunement.
He focused especially on "attunement," a quality he described as "perspective taking" or seeing the world from another person's eyes.
Pink described one experiment that showed how people who felt less powerful are better at taking on other peoples' perspectives than more powerful individuals. The reason, he said, is that those with less power survive by understanding what people in charge are thinking. Conversely, people with power don't need much from others, so they have less reason to see things from another person's point-of-view.
He offered some ways for attendees to sharpen their perspective-taking skills and shared findings from research from Holland that showed restaurant servers who repeated orders verbatim got tips that were 70 percent higher than other servers. "Even the act of saying someone else's words actually allows you to see the world from their perspectives. That's attunement."
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos employs a simple technique that can improve attunement. Pink noted that Bezos holds meetings that involve representatives from various departments of the company and also brings an empty chair to the table to represent the customer. Pink said that meeting attendees are encourged to consider what the customer would think about the ideas being discussed. It's an approach that Pink has used during his writing process, with the empty chair representing a reader.
The idea of attunement also is central to Pink's argument that people who are extroverted don't make good salespeople. He conceded that extroverts are much more likely than introverts to get hired and promoted in sales jobs. But Pink said that "ambiverts" – people who are neither extremely introverted nor extremely extroverted – generate significantly more revenue than extroverts and introverts, as documented in an upcoming study of a software sales force by Professor Adam Grant of the Wharton School.
Pink said extroverts didn't perform as well because they often are poor listeners and do a poor job of considering another perspective. Introverts are too afraid to ask questions and speak up. But most people are ambiverts, and they are more successful in sales because they adapt, Pink said.
"They're attuned," he said. "They know when to speak up. They know when to shut up. They know when to push. They know when to hold back."

'90s trends are back in action, from later version of the hammer-pant to acid-wash and pastel hair dye. Flipping through old magazines from the '90s is both a bizarre and exciting experience (unless you were just being born in 1996, and weren't a tween in the age of some of TV's best programs ever…). As sentimental as we wish we could get, one look at what fashion editorials in the '90s were actually passing off as fashionable is enough to hit your gag reflex. Check out this mustard-yellow denim-on-eyelet-cotton ensemble, for instance. It means well, with its spring hues and the model's confusing pose (laughing, itching—what is she doing?), but the end product looks more like a kid's TV show host than street-savvy.
But then again, that more or less sums up the '90s, doesn't it? Stay tuned for more days-gone-by denim coverage! We're more or less addicted to it.

Glasgow beat Ospreys 28-10 at Liberty Stadium to condemn the defending PRO12 champions to their third consecutive defeat.
Glasgow Warriors beat Ospreys 28-10 at Liberty Stadium on Friday to condemn the defending PRO12 champions to their third defeat in as many games.
Ospreys are still waiting on their first win of the season while Warriors open their account.
Good early pressure on the visitor's line was all for nothing, as Glasgow winger DTH van der Merwe took advantage of a cross-kick to charge 90 metres while evading Dan Biggar's chase to dot down after only three minutes.
In what could only be put down to a bad day at the office in the Liberty Stadium, the first half was ended with a 0-15 deficit, as Chris Fusaro added a second try on the half hour after taking advantage of indecision by Rhys Webb at the back of his scrum. Dan Weir converted, adding to his 13th minute penalty goal for what was to be an unassailable lead.
Chris Cusiter became an early casualty, but his side maintained their early momentum, as Henry Pyrgos stood in well for the injury-prone scrum-half. The Ospreys started the second period on the font foot, but that was undone by the sin-binning of scrum-half Webb for obstruction only five minutes in.
Both sides were down to fourteen men as James Eddie went for ten minutes after pulling down a driving maul, before Ian Evans finally put points on the board for the Ospreys as he drove over the line.
Although Dan Biggar converted, three minutes later, Canadian international van der Merwe got his second after spinning out a tackle to score for a 25-7 lead on 54 minutes after Weir added the extras.
The final quarter failed to see any further tries, and with Biggar and Ruaridh Jackson swapping penalty goals, the Warriors finally got their season underway.
The scorers:
For Ospreys:
Try: Evans
Con: Biggar
Pen: Biggar,
For Glasgow:

The FFSG, in its first TEB newsletter has just announced that 7000 school children will be there on Friday. As promised I just sent them an e-mail to tell them that although I agree with the initiative and think it's fantastic, the children ruin the competition. In consequence I asked them to save the first rows for the real fans, the ones who come from far and who turn their timetable upside-down to able to be there.
I'm surprised they're bringing in so many children - I'd expect more interest in an Olympic year and with the field that's going to be competing.
maybe ticket sales have been horribly slow and that's why they're stuffing the seats?
7000 children??? To do what??Sing along in Joubs Lp?
Or maybe that's cool, I ll bring my barbie also.
that's a huge crowd. Maybe it's a tactic to get the arena to look full during TV broadcasts. the TEB audience tends to be very quiet and sparse.
Agreed that it's a good intiative, but 7000 seems like a large number. Anyway those are lucky kids, I wish my school would have brought me to see a skating competition.
My heart is torn between Yuna ans Sasha whom should I support!
7000? gosh...
I'll spend a lot of money in accomodation, planes, etc. And will I have to fight with 7000 noisy kids?
Thank goodness I'll arrive to Paris early in the morning...

Summer Skin Tips from Kirkland, Washington Day Spa
At the Northwest Face Spa at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, you can find highly trained estheticians that specialize in creating customized treatment plans designed to address various skin types. Schedule a facial treatment at our Kirkland spa and give your skin a little extra love this summer.
With all the fun in the sun, prepare to face the sun's rays with our top six summer skin tips put together by esthetician LeAnn Zarling.
1. Exfoliate for Clearer, Smoother Skin
What it does: Exfoliation removes dead, dulling skin debris to prevent congestion and improve hydration from toners and moisturizers.
When: Perform in the mornings prior to toner, moisturizer, SPF and make-up application.
Tip: Make-up will last longer on an exfoliated skin!
Don't forget: After you exfoliate, follow with a hydrating body cream to seal in moisture, and always shield freshly exfoliated skin with an SPF (as recommended by the FDA).
Recommended Products:
Skin Medica's Skin Polisher
Salicylic Face & Body Wash
GM Collin Exfozyme
Eminence Citrus Exfoliating Wash
2. Keep Skin Hydrated
How: Increase your regimen's level of hydration with intensive masques, perfect for use one to two times a week. Boosters are a great fit, working best when layered underneath a moisturizer. Toners are a refreshing moisturizer prep, working to even out skin porosity.
Tip: Refresh with a revitalizing toner spritz at your desk, in the car, at the gym, on the plane!
Recommended Products:
GM Collin Hydromucine Treating Mist
Eminence Stone Crop Hydrating Mist
3. Make friends with H20
Why: Higher temperatures and more time outdoors leads to internal dehydration, which can result in headaches and dizzy spells!
What you can do: Eight 8-ounce glasses of plain, filtered water every day help maintain critical moisture balance of the body and skin, and assist in detoxification.
Tip: If you drink caffeinated beverages, you must triple the amount of water you drink.
Plain and pure water!
4. When in Doubt, Apply (and Reapply!)
Why: It's not enough to just apply sunscreen. You must apply enough, and apply frequently. Studies indicate that most people do not apply nearly as much daylight protection as they should.
How much: A teaspoon for the face. For the body, use about 3 ounces.
How often: Re-apply every two hours.
Tip: Stay out of the midday sun from mid-morning to late afternoon whenever you can.
Bonus: Today's sophisticated formulas and technology let you select sun protection that works with your skin condition. That means you can choose oil-free, mattifying formulas, extra emollient formulas for dry skin, or chemical free formulas for sensitized, reactive skin.
Recommended Products:
Skin Medica's TNS Ultimate Daily Moisturizer SPF 20
Daily Physical Defence SPF 30
Skin Medica Enviromental Defence SPF 50
Eminence Tropical Vanilla SPF 32
5. Soothe Over-Exposed Skin
What: You forgot the sunscreen, didn't apply enough, or got caught in a sunny spell.
What's next: Unfortunately the damage is done, but you don't have to suffer in pain! Super-soothing botanicals and cooling gels can help prevent peeling and reduce redness and inflammation.
How: Apply cooling balms generously over exposed skin, preferably at the first sight of a pink glow.
Prevent: One blistering sunburn doubles your risk of melanoma skin cancer-- remember to get a yearly skin exam by a doctor and perform a self-examination once a month to detect early warning signs of carcinomas and malignant melanoma. Look for a new growth or any skin change.
Skin Medica TNS Recovery Complex
6. Repair and Treat Existing Sun Damage
What causes skin damage: UV light causes photo aging in the form of brown spots, coarse skin and wrinkles, whether you have burned your skin or not. When sunlight comes in contact with skin a cascade of damage results (including the stripping of barrier lipids) causing inflammation, production of reactive oxygen molecules that affect healthy cell growth, and stimulation of collagen destructing enzymes.
What to do: A tan may be a popular summer look, but it indicates damage. Bombard your skin with age-fighting ingredients to help undo any damage that may occur, and to further protect it from the aging effects of UV.
Recommended Products:
Skin Medica TNS Essential Serum
Skin Medica Vitamin C&E Complex
GM Collin Active C Serum
To ensure your skin is protected and pampered throughout the summer season, visit our Kirkland spa and soothe your sun kissed skin! Call 425-803-9000 to schedule your next treatment, or learn more about our products and services.

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the 14th in an 18-part series about Northeast Mississippi downtowns.
Okolona is accustomed to seeing it's downtown change over the years.
The city was burned – twice – during the Civil War. It's stately three-story Masonic Lodge was constructed after a massive fire in the 1900s that destroyed the center of town. It suffered an exodus of businesses and stores during the 1970s and 80s as the community and shopping patterns changed.
But Okolona has apparently found its niche with the addition of several unique and eclectic businesses over the past several years complimenting those businesses that have been mainstays of downtown for generations.
"I've been turning a key at a business in downtown Okolona practically every morning since 1945," said Harold Turner. "I had a general store or hardware store downtown for years. I used to tell folks when they left my store they had everything they needed."
Turner remembered a day and age when downtown was packed on Friday night and Saturday morning with people shopping.
"There were days when we stayed open until 11 or 12 at night," said Turner. "Businesses stayed open as long as they had shoppers and there was no closing the door at 5 p.m."
Turner pointed out his store has changed over the years as Okolona has changed.
"My wife Loyce opened a flower shop and gift shop and we have been at this location for about 22 years," said Turner. "My daughter Harolyn runs the store now.
"Downtown is different from when I started," Turner added. "Our business is different, too."
Turner said he is proud to be a downtown businessman.
"We have always been a part of downtown and try to stay involved in downtown events," said Turner. "People in Okolona have always been good to us and we've worked real hard to serve them."
Change continues
And downtown Okolona continues to change as businesses move in and out.
"The city is renovating several offices to house an expanding electric department," said Perry Grubbs, Executive Director of the Okolona Area Chamber of Commerce. "We've got a brand new retail store, a new insurance company and a new restaurant. It's good to see this activity."
Businesses were pleased to see the Okolona City Electric Department offices stay downtown rather than move to a new location on the highway. Business owners hope this will keep traffic coming downtown to pay their bills and then stop by their store to shop.
"I would like to point out between the Bank of Okolona, the Courthouse, the Chamber and City Hall we've got a pretty busy little corner right in the middle of downtown," said Grubbs.
Okolona's Post Office, Carnegie Library, First Baptist Church, First United Methodist Church Episcopal Church, and both the police and fire department are located downtown. Okolona has its share of professional services located on Main Street, too.
Okolona's downtown is also blessed with a mini park and wisteria arbor that adds a spot of green and a shady place to sit on hot sunny days. A Confederate memorial sits on the south end of downtown, with a newly refurbished Civil War cannon pointing straight up Main Street.
Grubbs said retail is the lifeblood of any downtown and Okolona is no different.
"The gift shops in downtown have sort of banded together and work real hard to send shoppers from one store to the next," said Grubbs. "We have people come from all over North Mississippi and Alabama and spend the morning shopping in our stores. The word is beginning to get out about downtown Okolona and that has made several of our gift shops come on strong."
Busy Business
Okolona Drug Store have been filling prescriptions, selling boxes of candy and offering up a unique shopping experience since pharmacist Jerry Morgan began his business in 1974.
"We have been in the same locations all those years," said Morgan. "We expanded in 1976 and then expanded again in 1983."
Okolona Drug Store employs eight people.
Morgan said, like most small downtowns across Northeast Mississippi the buildings are old and can be difficult to renovate.
"The challenge is to keep those buildings in good shape and occupied," said Morgan. "The wiring, the plumbing and the wood and walls get old. Empty buildings don't get better until something moves in there."
As in most small towns, Okolona also struggles to keep local dollars at home.
"We like the out-of-town shoppers but we also are working to get local folks to shop here," said Grubbs. "We have done a little quick math and if you make the weekly drive to Tupelo to shop, at .55-cents a mile, it will cost you an extra $1,400 a year."
The Chamber also hosts a variety of seasonal events to get people downtown.
"We host Christmas Open House and the Christmas parade downtown every year," said Grubbs. "We also hold the Magnolia Festival, the Spring Fling and the Fall Festival."
Grubbs also pointed to a strong industrial base in Okolona and the need to capitalize on workers who drive into town every day.
"Those people need to eat a lunch, they buy gasoline to get back home and we want them to shop, too," said Grubbs. "Our restaurants are packed at noon on weekdays."
Grubbs said the Chamber will continue to work bringing business and shoppers downtown.
"We have a lot of information and want to be an asset to any business looking to come to Okolona," said Grubbs. "Downtown Okolona really is a unique place to shop and really has a lot to offer. If we can get you downtown, we can make you want to come back."

Skip to comments.Let the Conspiracy Begin:Obama heading to Hawaii to see "Sick" Grandma
Posted on 10/20/2008 6:23:20 PM PDT by freeplancer
click here to read article
He's leaving with a fancy pillow and flowers, just for Grandma.
Poor Grandma never got the memo.
Here is the answer! BTW, what ever happened to Corsi?
Bus-related injury?
He has no birth certificate. And his grandmother will mysteriously die while he is there. You know she holds secrets that cannot be revealed......
"Here, Grandma, let me put this pillow over your head. Nice grandma"
She's just a typical white person, ya know.
I'm hoping Barry left Joe Biden in charge of the campaign!
"Grandma, you F'n racist!"
About damn time someone did.
Well let's hope this guy doesn't end up dead.
So, does this mean that Andy Martin had a chat with dear old grandma?
He's running out the clock. McCain won't attack him too hard when he's visiting sick granny.
He's not going there for the birth certificate, because - sorry to burst your bubble - very few buy people give a rat's ass about that issue. However, intentionally or not - and likely intentionally, this trip will likely work too Obama's benefit.
How can you harshly criticize a guy when "hey, time-out guys, I'm just visiting ma poor dying grandmother, who brought me up."
Innocent people do not act this way.
Barry is scared out of his mind that Grandma WILL talk with Andy Martin.
Maybe he just needs desperately to get away from Michelle.
What guy wouldn't?
Time for the Hillary hit
"sorry to burst your bubble - very few buy people give a rats ass about that issue"
Hillary is going and to pay off her campaign debts and to get the Supreme Court post she has to whack grandma.
This is getting too weird. I hope Philip Berg will have somebody watching the birth records.
The situation is serious....her condition is deteriorating....and he's flying out on Thursday...IT'S MONDAY...if her condition is that bad why wait 72-96 hours? Something is fishy here....
He would send goons to take care of the birth certificate business. To go himself for that purpose would be too obvious. Not often does a capo do his own contract work.
What's this mean for his half hour tv buy?
Yeah, really. We have to be realistic. It doesn't matter what Freepers think - we're all voting for McCain anyway.
Persuadable Independents and Dems won't buy it, and the truth or falsity of the matter is irrelevant.
He can work on his tan
Something's always fishy with obama.
He would send goons to take care of the birth certificate business. To go himself for that purpose would be too obvious. Not often does a capo do his own contract work.
The more I think about this, the more it doesn't make sense. Why would he drop everything, after she's out of the hospital? If she was on death's door, wouldn't the entire family go?
I seriously hope they she's okay, but this smells fishy, especially with the birth certificate thing breaking.
Could he be trying to make McCain halt his ad campaign that is finally working?
I agree, something is fishy or as the Big O would say, old stinky fish.
This is the same grandmother he didn't have time for when he was in Hawaii this summer. I had expected he and the family would spend at least a day with her while they were there. No way. What an ungrateful grandson.
He also visited Grandma last time he was in Hawaii last month or so...
oopss... I thought he did visit Grandma without the rest of the family....
Who is Andy Martin?
Maybe this is the international crisis Biden was speaking of?
Obama is taking two days off from the campaign in the last 15 days to visit his sick grandmother in Hawaii. A grandmother whom he rarely visits.
There are law suits filed now in four states claiming that Obama does not meet the constitutional test for office (natural born citizen) because he was actually born in Kenya, as his Kenyan grandmother has proclaimed, when she said she attended his birth.
His mother was not old enough and did not live in the US long enough before his birth for him to have been a citizen, if he was born outside the US.
Obamas visit coincides with that of an investigative reporter who is in Hawaii to ask the Hawaii supreme court for an emergency order opening the states birth records for Obama.
Obama has refused to ask Hawaii to open the records, and is fighting the law suits which have been filed, in hopes of delaying the facts until after the election. The birth certificate posted on their web site two months ago, was shown to be a false copy of the actual record, by the omission of the pro-Obama dailykos.com folks who posted it.
Now I know most of your list will proclaim this to be a right-wing wacko theory, but it would be interesting to see what they say about the timing of the visit.
Secondly, someone might comment on why an innocent person would act this way.
Lastly, dont we have the right to know if the candidates meet the basic requirements as spelled out in the constitution?
One possibility is that the old woman is near death. If the hospital cannot do much for you, many choose to go home to die (example, Paul Newman).
I despise Obama, but it is entirely possible his grandmother (who was much more a mother to him than his mother was) has gone home to die.
Argument against? He isn't leaving for a couple of days...if someone is about to die, you don't wait for 3 days.
Oh Dear God...he's not going there to kill her himself is he? I pray for the dear lady.
Yes, I think he did visit her but didn't bring the family.
What kind of man doesn't bring his children to meet the woman who raised him?
I hope she writes him out of her will.
In fact, this overt concern about granny may be a devilish effort to plant subliminal doubts about the fitness of the similarly elderly John McCain to hold the office of president. There has already been a noticeable uptick in references to McCain's age by left-wing hacks. If those subtle suggestions continue, then I'm more sure of my theory. Am I crazy?
This is laying the groundwork for getting the F**K out of Dodge while the tape breaks tomm from API and the FEC responds to the Deadline for the Berg v. Obama case.
Besides, he sees what happened to Kerry when he lost and wants some political capital for the next go round? IMO
I say he's going for treatment of a medical condition he doesn't want anyone to know about. You know, the one he's been hiding by not releasing his medical records. What better cover than to visit his grandma in the "hospital". And why just two days? Does he somehow know his grandma will be okay in 48 hours. Or does he need that long for the procedure and recuperation?
Also, if he hasn't talked to her by now, it's worthless.
He is awfully skinny
She has agreed in pronciple to take the money and Obama Operatives tolf Obama.
Obama is tyhe only one who can offer Grandma a competing amount of money, and talk her out of revealing his birth pplace.
Its right out of a harlequin novel.
Truth likely is that Obama needs to make arrangements that Grandma's secrets dies with her.That all of his hirtory yet unrevealed is wrapped up and put away or destroyed, that all of grandmas papers, memoirs and family memorabilia are confiscated and put in his custody as a guardian.
I bet Obama is attending a guardianship hearing.
Its not just the birth certificate.
Could he have a condition which would be considered embarrassing? Sexually transmitted?
Yep, it's the bottom of the 7th inning and 0bambi is running out the clock to the two minute warning!
or, it could be a calculated effort to deflect criticism from him with regard to some major disclosure that is about to break. I have no knowledge about any such disclosure whatsoever, but having to break off campaigning to attend to a sick (grand)mother might tend to subdue any harsh criticism that a damaging disclosure might invite. Hey, it might even cause the ones in the know to hold off releasing the info, thus buying time for Obama's thugs to circumvent the announcement of the (hypothesized)information.
Whatever the reason, I hope McCain and Palin express appropriate sympathy and continue campaigning as before. At a minimum, the ad campaign should continue undiminished in its intensity.
Here's the link from "The Honolulu Advertiser" posted as Breaking
This is the link from "The Star-Bulletin"
Earlier "The Star-Bulletin" had a picture of Jr and Maila going in the elevator for the one visit the entire family paid to Madelyn Dunham on the Tuesday of the Hawaii visit. At that time the local papers reported the family visited from 6:50 to 7:15 pm. Jr carried in a gift basket of fruit and Maila carried in books on tape. Earlier this summer Madelyn Dunham had a corneal transplant and she also has severe osteoporosis.

"It's very good for their self esteem and their confidence to begin a new school year," said Richard Dennis, a manager at Target.
There are 30 children involved in a shopping spree at Target, which is partnered with the Salvation Army in St. Joseph.
Paired with volunteers from the Salvation Army, the children pick out new outfits and shoes, with an 80 dollar limit.
The kids on the spree get new clothes for school, something that would be hard for their families to afford otherwise.
And new clothes can make all the difference on the first day of school.
"This gives them something new for the first day. It gives them something that's not a hand-me-down," said volunteer Susan Reeves.
And Target says this partnership is part of their company's commitment to community involvement.
"We seek out opportunities like this to make an impact on our community for the better," Dennis said.
And with the spending limit, it also teaches the children how to keep track of how much they spend and budget accordingly.
Saint Joseph Public Schools officially restart on August 16.

In a turbulent era of apartheid in South Africa; race riots in England and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers, led by the enigmatic Viv Richards, struck a defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice worldwide. Their undisputed skill, combined with a fearless spirit, allowed them to dominate the genteel game at the highest level, replaying it on their own terms. This is their story, told in their own words.

I was introduced to a new form a cooking: Sous-vide.
A quick lesson – Sous-vide is a form of cooking that utilizes submerging a vacuum sealed bag which contains your meat of choice into water that holds a constant temperature. The water is usually a lower temperature, and the meat is kept in for an extended period of time in order to provide a uniformly cooked meat.
Now, Sous-vide machines cost a pretty penny; however, one can accomplish the same results with… a beer cooler. I kid you not.
Feel free to read up on how to sous-vide cooking as my intent isn't to provide a tutorial on the subject, rather to give you my first sous-vide dish – Prosciutto wrapped Chicken with Poblano Peppers and Sun Dried Tomatoes
Needed For the Dish
2 Skinless Chicken Breasts
4 pieces of thinly sliced prosciutto
2 slices of fresh mozzarella
1 large Poblano Pepper, diced
1 cup Diced Sun Dried Tomatoes, in oil
1 Small Shallot, diced
1 tsp honey
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp olive oil
Note – you'll also need tooth picks and oil for frying.
1. Place your chicken in a zip lock bag and remove the air (vacuum machine or submerge in water to use the pressure of the water to remove the air).
2. Fill a cooler with water heated to 150 degrees, place bag in cooler and seal and let it sit in there for about 100 minutes. Make sure to check the temp roughly every 30 minutes. If your temp drops below 145, add more water.
3. In the remaining 20 minutes, place your 1 teaspoon of oil into a medium sized skillet with your peppers, sun dried tomatoes (in oil) and shallot. Cook over medium high heat for roughly 5 minutes, and then reduce heat to medium-low and mix in honey and soy sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then reduce heat to low while stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Remove chicken from cooler, pat down.
5. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of the chicken, wrap with prosciutto, and fry (not deep fry) in oil for roughly 2 minutes per side.
6. Plate, cover with your pepper/tomato sauce, and serve with a green salad
This was one of the freshest, moist, pieces of chicken I've ever had in my life. The prosciutto and the sauce add the perfect touch for the topping… I cannot – cannot – wait to try this when cooking steak!

One of the biggest sporting events you've probably never heard of will take place in the Denver metro area next month. The Solheim Cup will bring two dozen of the best players in women's professional golf to Parker.
We know. August in Colorado means the Broncos are back — and we're excited about that, too. But the NFL's regular season will still be weeks away during the Aug. 13-18 Solheim Cup. Take a timeout from the preseason, and turn your attention to the Colorado Golf Club.
That might mean ordering tickets for the event. Or it might mean just watching on TV. Either way, the event is worthy of acknowledging, for a number of reasons:
• The top international team competition in women's golf, the Solheim Cup will feature 12 players from the United States playing against 12 from Europe. (Think Ryder Cup, for those of you familiar with men's pro golf.) Even if you normally don't follow the women's game, or golf in general, we think you will be impressed by the quality of play. Sure, you'll see some precision pitches and putts, but also, with Colorado's elevation, you might be treated to some 300-yard drives.
• The event puts a spotlight on women's athletics. If you have a young daughter interested in sports, these talented women could serve as an inspiration for what can be achieved. At the same time, it highlights good sportsmanship — we're fairly certain you won't see any violent temper tantrums or hear talk of performance-enhancing drugs.
• The Solheim Cup will help elevate the Denver area's status on the global stage. Nothing wrong with letting people across the world know there is more to Colorado than skiing, beer and the Broncos.
• The event is expected to provide a boost for the area's economy. The 2009 Solheim Cup, hosted by a course in a Chicago suburb, reportedly generated a $19.4 million economic impact for the area. Officials here were told to expect a similar benefit. Hotels and restaurants in Denver, Douglas and Arapahoe counties should get a major boost. But we suspect that many visitors, who may be making their first trip to the Centennial State, will also venture west and take in the scenery — and patronize the businesses — of communities within a chip shot of the mountains.
The Solheim Cup also offers something else, something you wouldn't necessarily expect from a golf tournament: a fun atmosphere. Spectators will be singing and chanting, some dressed up in costumes, as they cheer for the Americans or Europeans.
Sounds like a good way for Broncos fans to get warmed up.

It was taken into her art teacher's atelier to be judged with other works by the senior artist George Lambert. Although Lambert was supportive of young artists, including Cossington Smith, he decided against awarding this work the prize because of what he described as the 'Bolshevik diagonals' in the composition.

Law Students with Children
President - Heather Janes
Vice President - Grace Koss
Secretary - Lisa Grauman
Treasurer - Antonio Cook
UDM Law is committed to a diverse student body, which includes students with children. We believe that a law student and parent has a better chance of successfully completing their degree when the student and faculty are realistic and forward thinking about the challenges of pursuing an advanced degree and parenthood simultaneously.
University of Detroit Mercy Law Students with Children ("LSWC") is a support group for law students with children, who face the unique challenge of balancing the rigors of law school with the many duties of family life. LSWC offers the chance to meet other UDM Law parents and pick up tips for surviving law school as well as welcome prospective UDM Law students to participate in our organization.
Law students who are parents or anticipate becoming parents need to work closely with their advisors and faculty in planning for a child to enter the home, arranging a timeline for meeting requirements, and considering particular circumstances. Students should communicate early, frequently, and clearly with their advisors about their progress and engagement in courses and research.
It would be beneficial for law students with children to hear each others' insights on how they can fulfill their professional responsibilities while maintaining strong relationships at home.
LSWC plans on having monthly meetings. Meeting topics will include: studying for finals with a young child, forming a strong support system at home and coping with issues related to stress and workload. LSWC will have a law professional with children, guest speak about time management and family-work balance.
LSWC plans on hosting social outings where law students who are raising families can meet each others' families. LSWC anticipates hosting events included ice cream socials, fall hay rides, a "Parents' Night Out," picnics, and trips to local museums.

Taken from NAMI which is located HERE.
A new study conducted by the Cleveland Clinic Sleep Disorders Center confirms that positive airway pressure, a treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), also lessens symptoms of depression.
Researchers found that patients who used continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) showed reduced signs of their depression symptoms even if they only partially followed a treatment plan.
OSA is a sleep-related breathing disorder where the body stops breathing during the night due to collapsed tissues in the back of the throat which block the airway. This results in disturbed sleep which could lead to serious health issues including heart disease and stroke. The most common treatment for OSA is CPAP which is delivered through a mask worn over the face of the patient.
[Check out NAMI's updated information on sleep apnea.]
Results showed that all subjects saw improvements in depressive symptoms and patients who used their CPAP devices for more than four hours showed even greater improvements on their scores than others who didn't follow their treatment schedule as strictly.
"The score improvements remained significant even after taking into account whether a patient had a prior diagnosis of depression or was taking an antidepressant," said Charles Bae, M.D., head investigator of the study in a news release. "The improvements were greatest in sleepy, adherent patients but even nonadherent patients had better scores."
This study was presented at the annual meeting of the Associate Professional Sleep Societies in Boston.
"Getting a good night's sleep is protective of the brain," says NAMI Medical Director Ken Duckworth, M.D. "Evidence suggests that good sleep and a regular routine help protect against the recurrence of mania." For a better night's sleep Duckworth recommends cutting down on alcohol and caffeine as well as skipping afternoon naps.
For more information about better sleep techniques, view Duckworth's article in NAMI's Advocate.

Headquarters in New York, N.Y. September 23, 2009. Official White House photo by Samantha Appleton. PD. Dwight D. Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" speech to the United Nations General Assembly, December 8, 1953. Get Flash to see this player. Today, President Barack Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Like previous presidential speeches to the United Nations, President Obama's speech focused on one of the most important contemporary international issues – the democratic transitions in the Middle East, as well as the violence and turmoil in the region. Obama paid tribute to Ambassador Chris Stevens, and addressed the "crude and disgusting video" that sparked the recent uprisings throughout the region. More broadly, he used the platform to highlight development around the world as well as democratic progress, noting the competitive, fair and credible elections in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, as well as the peaceful transitions of power in Malawi, Senegal and Somalia. Yet, he also reminded the audience that democracy takes hard work and called for honestly addressing "the tensions between the West and an Arab World moving to democracy." The President called for greater international engagement in Syria and once again drew a red line on Iran's nuclear program, saying the United States would not allow the country to obtain a nuclear weapon. Overall, the speech was intended just as much for a domestic audience as it was for an international one. The president reminded people that the "war in Iraq is over, and our troops have come home," that the transition in Afghanistan has begun, and that "Al Qaeda has been weakened and Osama bin Laden is no more." President Obama derided the politics of division – a reference no doubt to domestic politics (what's "on the news and that consumes our political debates"), and a more explicit reference to those seeking to incite violence by pitting "East against West; South against North; Muslim against Christian, Hindu, and Jew." He also emphasized American values, such as support for democracy, freedom, and international law. Yet, his speech was a re-articulation of the Democratic Party's position on America's role in the world – that the United States should lead by example and work in concert with allies. Mr. Obama's speech is very much historically in line with presidential speeches to the UN General Assembly, though I would argue it is not likely to be remembered as one of the most consequential, unlike his 2009 address. Presidential addresses to the Generally Assembly usually highlight foreign policy goals and accomplishments, emphasize American values and define what the United States considers the greatest threats to itself and the international community at the time. We culled through our archives and found some of the most consequential presidential speeches to the UN General Assembly. Key factors that distinguish some speeches from others are the moment in history in which the address is delivered and the leader's response to that historical context. On December 8, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower raised the issue of the dangers posed by war between the Soviet Union and the United States – "two atomic colossi are doomed malevolently to eye each other indefinitely across a trembling world." He also proposed his "Atoms for Peace" initiative, which called for the establishment of an international agency that would stockpile nuclear fuel and convert it for all nations for peaceful use of energy. President John F. Kennedy's speech on September 25, 1961 revealed the deep tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States at the time. The overall mood of the General Assembly was overshadowed by the death of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, who had recently been killed in a plane crash. Kennedy used his speech to derail a proposal by Nikita Krushchev to fill the position of UN Secretary General with their leaders – one each selected by the West, the Communist bloc and by the non-aligned states. Kennedy told the General Assembly: However difficult it may be to fill Mr. Hammarskjold's place, it can better be filled by one man rather than by three. Even the three horses of the Troika did not have three drivers, all going in different directions. They had only one--and so must the United Nations executive. To install a triumvirate, or any panel, or any rotating authority, in the United Nations administrative offices would replace order with anarchy, action with paralysis, confidence with confusion. The Secretary General, in a very real sense, is the servant of the General Assembly. Diminish his authority and you diminish the authority of the only body where all nations, regardless of power, are equal and sovereign. Until all the powerful are just, the weak will be secure only in the strength of this Assembly. Whatever advantages such a plan may hold out to my own country, as one of the great powers, we reject it. For we far prefer world law. Kennedy also called for a step-by-step approach to achieve UN goals of general and complete disarmament, beginning with a treaty to end nuclear testing. The limited nuclear test ban would be followed by ending the production of fissionable materials; prohibiting the transfer of nuclear weapons to other states; keeping nuclear weapons out of outer space; destroying existing nuclear weapons; and halting the unlimited testing and production of strategic nuclear delivery vehicles. For all intents and purposes, the speech outlined what became the basis for the Non-Proliferation Treaty and regime. While President Reagan's addresses revealed the tensions at the height of the Cold War, by October 1, 1990, President George H.W. Bush delivered a landmark speech, declaring: This is a new and different world. Not since 1945 have we seen the real possibility of using the United Nations as it was designed: as a center for international collective security. Bush also used the platform to highlight the importance of free elections and action against Iraq. Bush emphasized the need for a stronger United Nations in the post-Cold War era, whose role would be challenged in the coming decades. The end of the Cold War marked a turning point for the role of United Nations in the world. In his address to the General Assembly in September 1993, President Bill Clinton argued: U.N. peacekeeping holds the promise to resolve many of this era's conflicts. The reason we have supported such missions is not, as some critics in the United States have charged, to subcontract American foreign policy, but to strengthen our security, protect our interests, and to share among nations the cost and effort of pursuing peace. But, he also noted the limits of the UN's peacekeeping ability: The United Nations simply cannot become engaged in every one of the world's conflicts. If the American people are to say 'yes' to U.N. peacekeeping, the United Nations must know when to say 'no.' President Clinton placed renewed emphasis on human rights. The speech also established the limits of American engagement in the world and what has become the Democratic Party's position to lead by example: The United States intends to remain engaged and to lead. We cannot solve every problem, but we must and will serve as a fulcrum for change and a pivot for peace. Just as his father had used his UN address to prepare the national and world for war against Saddam Hussein, George W. Bush used his September 12, 2002 speech to present a detailed case against Hussein. As we now know, the case against Hussein was built on false claims regarding Iraq's nuclear weapons capability and the country's links to Al Qaeda. We know that Saddam Hussein pursued weapons of mass destruction even when inspectors were in his country. Are we to assume he has stopped? Saddam Hussein's regime is a grave and gathering danger. Unlike his father who sought to build an international coalition for action against Iraq, Bush 43 presented an ultimatum: Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding or will it be irrelevant?... We will work with the U.N. Security Council for the necessary resolutions. But the purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolution will be enforced, the just demands of peace and security will be met, or action will be unavoidable and a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power. George W. Bush's address also demonstrated an important change in American national security strategy, which henceforth would be based on a more expansive definition of preemption – defined as the anticipatory use of force in the face of an imminent attack – to include preventive war even without evidence of an imminent attack.

Grandparents' Day
You probably know that Mother's Day is in May and Father's Day is in June, but do you know when Grandparents' Day is? Although it is lesser known than the national holidays we celebrate in honor of our parents, Grandparents' Day is just as important. Celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, it has traditionally been used to honor both grandparents and their relationships with their grandchildren.
Grandparents' Day was the brainchild of Marian McQuade, a housewife and proud parent of 15 children living in West Virginia, whose work with senior citizens dates back to 1956. Since then, she has dedicated her life to advocating for senior citizens, having served as President of the Vocational Rehabilitation Foundation, Vice President of the West Virginia Health Systems Agency, and Co-chairman for the Bi-Centennial Centenarian Search for the West Virginia Commission on Aging. It was in 1970 that McQuade initiated a campaign to set aside a special day in honor of grandparents.
Thanks in large part to the efforts of civic, business, church and political leaders in West Virginia, the first Grandparents' Day was proclaimed in 1973 by Governor Arch Moore. It was during the same year that Senator Jennings Randolph (D-WV) introduced a Grandparents' Day resolution in the United States Senate. To gather support for this resolution, McQuade and her team contacted the media and members of government in each state and tirelessly sent letters to churches, businesses and an array of national organizations whose members advocate for senior citizens.
All their hard work finally paid off in 1978. Five years after its inception in West Virginia, Congress passed legislation proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents' Day. September was chosen for the holiday to signify the "autumn years" of life and the proclamation was signed by President Jimmy Carter. According to the statutes preamble, the purpose of Grandparents' Day is "to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer."
Over the past 25 years, Grandparents' Day has grown largely in popularity. The holiday even has an official song called "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa," by Johnny Prill. Greeting cards and other more traditional holiday activities have begun to take hold of Grandparents' Day, as well.
There are many ways Grandparents' Day can be celebrated. Schools, churches and senior organizations honor grandparents with special events, but above all, it is a day for family. Some families prefer small gatherings while others like to celebrate with large reunions. Board games and story-telling are good ways to enhance interaction between generations, allowing grandparents to share stories of their past and enlighten the younger people about "the old days." It can also be a day to discover your roots and put forth efforts to maintain a strong sense of family background. Oftentimes, grandparents are the only ones who have answers to questions about family histories. As the official Web site of Grandparents' Day states, "When this information is passed down to the grandchildren, everyone can be assured of this heritage being preserved."
Overall, Grandparents' Day signifies a spirit of love and respect for our elders. It is important, as well, to remember senior citizens living in nursing homes who have no families or are unable to be with their families, even on holidays. Grandparents' Day is the perfect opportunity to include these people in mainstream activities though cards, community projects and visitation. Churches, schools and senior organizations in your community may even help children adopt foster grandparents, as so many elderly people would love such an opportunity.
