Patch Flash: Big Layoff at Motorola in Libertyville
Chicagoland news to talk about: Peterson trial goes on; defense withdraws motion for mistrial.
Less than three weeks after announcing its planned move to the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Motorola Mobility said it will cut 700 jobs in Illinois, including at its Libertyville headquarters and Chicago office. According to Crain's Chicago Business, Motorola Mobility is cutting 4,000 jobs in total.
A 'MacGyver bomb' thrown at an Islamic school in Lombard yesterday set Muslims at Morton Grove's mosque further on edge after Friday's air rifle shooting. The air-rifle shooting incident Friday was only one of a recent series of events that have made worshippers at Morton Grove's mosque nervous, said a leader Tuesday. As Muslims draw their holy month of Ramadan to a close at the end of this week, several incidents have happened, said Rizwan Kadir, immediate past chairman of the Muslim Community Center Full-Time School
The judge at Drew Peterson's murder trial on Tuesday lambasted prosecutors who for the third time in as many weeks broached a subject they were told not to mention in front of jurors – again raising the possibility that the case could end with the judge letting the former police officer go free.
On Wednesday, lawyers for Drew Peterson withdrew a motion for a mistrial, allowing the former Illinois police officer's murder trial to go ahead. The defense attorneys' move Wednesday follows several blunders by prosecutors seeking to prove that the 58-year-old Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004. He's also a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, but never has been charged in her case.
Peterson told the judge Wednesday he does not want a mistrial.
A Bartlett man was charged with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence causing death in relation to the incident that killed Tony Borcia, 10, of Libertyville. Borcia was run over while tubing on Petite Lake, on the Chain of Lakes, in Lake Villa, July 28. The Illinois Conservation Police arrested David Hatyina of Bartlett Aug. 13, said Ari Fisz, chief of felony review for the Lake County State's Attorney's Office. Hatyina's bond was set at $1 million at a hearing the morning of Aug. 14.
A south suburban woman who told police a uniformed man raped her in a cornfield at gunpoint has been charged with filing a false police report, authorities said. Annette C. Brown, 33, of Sandwich, will be taken into custody with a bail of $10,000 when she finishes treatement at an area hospital, according to a news release from the Kendall County Sheriff's Office and the Kendall County State's Attorney's Office. She faces three Class 3 felonies.
After months of record-breaking heat and drought, many rural Illinoisans who rely on wells for water are getting an unwelcome surprise when they turn on their faucets: The tap has run dry. The lack of running water can range from a manageable nuisance to an expensive headache. Homeowners and businesses are being forced to buy thousands of gallons from private suppliers, to drill deeper or to dig entirely new wells.

Actually it's 4,000 in total. Is this what Obama means when he says Move Forward? Record unemployment, record foreclosures, record massive debt, credit downgrades. Bumps in the road to Change?
Just Sayin
10:06 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Gee...Could it be that Motorola has been off shoring so many of it's functions that it only needs a slim workforce here? Yep... Could it mean that Obamas predecessors set a precedent of allowing and yes encouraging this to happen? Yep...Could this be yet another indication that the times they are a changin' to a new world economy? Yep...Could McClowns comment yet again indicate his head is firmly stuck where the sun don't shine...Yep
10:34 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Not sure if you know who Motorola Mobility is but MM was acquired by Google a month ago. I have trouble following comments where people answer their own questions but I think you're suggesting that this all happened because jobs moved offshore but that's simply not the case. There' is an overlap in resources between the two companies so that's what's driving the layoffs.
Guido McGinty
11:25 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
"Could it mean that Obamas predecessors set a precedent of allowing and yes encouraging this to happen?"
How can Obama or his predecessor disallow offshoring? Is there a "Kiss the Ring" law that I don't know about?
I agree that the red and blue factions of the War Party are encouraging offshoring. Tax and regulatory policy beg companies to move and keep jobs and profits overseas.
Just Sayin
2:56 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Max...you are correct...there is a overlapping of resources...why overlap when the off shore resources off MM should suffice.
4:00 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Just Sayin - Let's assume for discussion that the layoffs are due to offshoring. I've had the opportunity to work for some great American tech companies such as 3Com and Cisco as well as some of the largest tech companies in Asia. It pains me to say that when it comes to design knowledge, I would choose a software engineer from India or Israel or a hardware engineer from China or Taiwan. Google, like Motorola, is not only in the business of saving cost, but also finding the best talent in the world and frankly that talent is harder to find here. We've somehow let off the gas pedal over the past 20 years while other countries have become so much more aggressive. BTW, wages are rising at alarming rates in countries we once thought were paying pennies on the dollar but you'll notice that even as the wage gap closes, we won't see the tech jobs come back to the U.S. until we prove that we're dominant again.
Just Sayin
4:41 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Max...Great observation and comment. But...I would not be pained...great talent can be found all over the world community. Be grateful and appreciative!
Just Sayin
4:49 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Guido...you are right...off shoring can not be disallowed by the government. But there is indeed a 'Kiss the Ring' (albeit unspoken ) law. Our corporate masters wear it...and the government does a whole lotta kissing.
Guido McGinty
9:00 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
"But there is indeed a 'Kiss the Ring' (albeit unspoken ) law. Our corporate masters wear it...and the government does a whole lotta kissing."
Sounds like a good reason to reduce the size and scope of the Total State by 75%. If there are fewer regulations and a lower balance in the Taxpayer Slush Fund, our government will be less beholden to their sponsors.

Other countries are increasing scores in math and science because they know that is the direction to go to, they are pushing the science and math curriculum in schools. The science my son gets at school is really nothing.

I couldn't agree more. Obama's healthcare fiasco and tax the rich scheme will encourage money to leave our borders, as US consumption shrinks our economy shrinks. What is a new world economy anyway? Is that when we all wear blue jump suits and stand up at the same time?
Just Sayin
4:25 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
McClown...Suggestion...buy a few books published after 2008 on the subject of new world economy/ economics...or if you are too lazy...you could google the subject. You might just learn something.
3:44 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Hey, the new GDP numbers are out for 2Q, adjusted down to 1.25%. So things are worse than we thought. Sounds like an overlap of Obamacare, a sprinkle of tax the rich guy, and a touch of regulation to get things just right.

The King of acquisition- Mr. Romney has acquired many companies and laid off many employees through his sole ownership of Bain and company. If you think it's bad that Google bought a Company and then fired overlapping resources, instead of blaming President Obama- I suggest you AVOID Voting for Romney or you'll have a professional acquisition expert who routinely lays off employees in overlapping jobs after an acquisition. So, you're way off base blaming Mr. Obama and even further off base supporting a pro at doing just what your complaining about!

Is Uncle Sam The Biggest Enabler Of Private Equity Jobs "Offshoring"?
Spoiler alert: Most likely. Public pensions have no chance of keeping their promises without the returns offered in PE funds.
"you'll have a professional acquisition expert who routinely lays off employees in overlapping jobs after an acquisition."
Feature, not bug. This is about the only reason to vote for Mitt.

He's taken Barry to task for cutting Medicare. That said, no one knows what his positions are. He's an amoeba.
The disability portion of SS will go broke before the 2016 election. I don't expect this to come up in the debates based on the vapidity of political discourse. Nonetheless, the two creatures running for President need to address this:
11:15 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
RB - Obama and the Democrats have ALREADY ripped the safety net away. Sure, they are PROMISING many things, but have NO WAY TO PAY FOR THEM. You may question what Romney will do, but we already KNOW what Obama has done.
5:49 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
So, tell me how Mr. Obama has ripped the safety net away? By passing Obamacare? No. By preventing the Republicans from changing Medicare to a voucher from, unprotected from inflation? No. By wanting a tax cut for the middle class but not the rich? No. By, at States request, allowing relaxed work rules for Welfare that actually increases work requirements by 20% at their request? No. By attempting to pass a Jobs Bill? No. On and on. Don't listen to Rush so much.
Guido McGinty
9:52 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
RB, the last three items have little to do with a safety net. Obamacare is related tangentially to a safety net.
8:21 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Yeah, he must be for Cancer too, What a crock, we all know that Obama is a demonstrated failure, so resorting to your tactics speaks volumes on where you are coming from.
10:44 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Funny how they only mention the people laid off or downsized...they never mention the 1000s that kept their jobs because of the mergers and strengthening of companies...nor do they mention the months, sometimes years that those same people continued to work while the mergers were completed. Gotta take the good with the bad. There are an awful lot of people that still have jobs due to Bain...same can't be said for Solyndra or several of the others that Obama threw millions of our dollars at. Last I checked Bain was using their money, not mine. Take a look at the business's merged by Bain, they went successful or on the way down. Its called good business if you want a Socialist State move to a Socailist Country, it's not how this country was built or what it stands for.
Oh yeah...Just Sayin...if I was to sink to your level of name calling and ignorance, I would buy a $30 half barrel of Milwaukees Best, sit on my front porch and drink myself to death.

Rob..."Oh yeah...Just Sayin...if I was to sink to your level of name calling and ignorance, I would buy a $30 half barrel of Milwaukees Best, sit on my front porch and drink myself to death". Given that I do not drink you will have to come up with a more creative plan for my demise. Speaks volumes about you though. You are a corporate drone...and if that is not ignorance I do not know what is. You might want to consider taking your own advise pal.

Romney is already laying off Illinois workers....
WASHINGTON -- Sensata Technologies is a healthy manufacturing company that employs nearly 200 workers at a factory in northern Illinois. The company has become the focus of national attention because it has been taken over by Bain Capital, which plans to shut the factory down, lay off the workers, and outsource the production to China before the end of the year.

The guy with the beard? That's a pretty good disguise for Mr. Schulte, though I have to think it's a fake. Maybe he got it from the "Innocence of the Muslims" film director. Come to think of it, maybe that's where the guy went into hiding. With Mr. Schulte, down in the panhandle. It all makes sense now.
9:09 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
Naw Crawler, the man with the beard is with a man of color and a college student. That means he's a democrat. We can't have HIM vote, now can we?
6:26 am on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Oh, Sully, you wide-eyed innocent liberal lamb. Look closer. The black kid is Mustafa al Imam, aka Bobby Fort, aka grandson and courier of notorious El Rukn leader and long suspected al Qaeda sympathizer Jeff Fort. The Asian girl is a CIA operative who I used to date. As for Mr. Schulte, check the link below for his latest disguise. Note how the sheet cleverly conceals his beard. These people must be stopped before it's too late. Sounds like a job for Lieutenant McCloud!

Sully...Richard has not left his single wide for months. One exception... when he runs out of Cheetos and has to walk 12 paces to the LiL' General Store in his front yard. He is too poor to own a mobile devise so he has to stay planted in front of his Fischer-Price desk top. He refers to it as his: MASTER CONTROL CENTER. One thing for sure, he is a busy beaver these days...and thankfully soon, will be a dead duck.

Hey Crawler, what happened to the Illini today vs. Penn. State? 35 to 7 to Penn. State? Maybe they haven't heard about the goings-on in State College recently. I'm not an Illinois fan (don't know if you are either) but come on!
3:22 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012

Nope, just a small business owner, that believes every is entitled to their own opinion without being degraded and called names, like we were in Middle School.
Actually this country was founded on people agreeing to disagree and Compormising for a solution...that whole concept seems to lost. This whole us against them R vs D till death do us part, just isn't any good for anyone. People like Just Sayin are part of the very large problem this country faces....unfortunately, like an addict this country may hit bottom, before some of these social issue can be fixed.
People just don't pay attention to history, our educational system mediocre at best and we have become a population dependent on our government in all phases. Our country is broken and I simply don't think it's governments job to fix it. It's ours. We need to realize the hard facts and the unpopular decisisions that are necessary, bite the bullet and make the changes in our ways of life and behavior before we end up in a place of no return.
Just Sayin
12:13 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Rob...Let us not be hypocritical now. Your taunt regarding my opinions was pure Middle School. If you think I believe that you have never degraded or called another a disparaging name you could not be more way off. There is one thing I know about you for sure Rob, and that is you are human. The largest problem this country faces is that government is a flawed system devised and run by flawed humans who can not or will not face hard realities. They bought the rosy picture the history books painted and want to return to and dwell in those illusions. As you want to believe that the founders of this country disagreed without disparagement and that all was fair in compromise. Life in this country got worse the day government and big business jumped into bed with each other. Romney is the face of big business and while it might be appropriate that he becomes the countries leader on that basis alone...I desent and I will be as rude and crude about it as I choose.
Guido McGinty
3:43 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
"Life in this country got worse the day government and big business jumped into bed with each other."
Tough to argue with that.
Your proposed solutions, assuming you advocate increased governmental roles, will make the problem worse.
The most effective way to combat corporate fascism is to reduce drastically the size and scope of government. If there are fewer favors to dole out of the Taxpayer Slush Fund or through regulation, there will be fewer cronies.
Alternatively, you can repeal the first amendment to reduce lobbying/bribes/contributions. I don't think you'll have much luck with that.
9:50 am on Saturday, September 29, 2012
The problem with most on these posts is that the poster's minds were made in in utero and won't change regardless of the evidence presented. This goes for both extremes and parties.
I know that everyone likes to believe they're right...it makes us feel good. The reality is that we could all be wrong. Ultimately, this election (as have most) will be decided by that group of voters in the middle, true independents and those who do not align strongly with either party. The amusing comments notwithstanding, what must be examined is how the current leadership has performed against their promises and am I better off than four years ago? It's really pretty simple.
10:37 am on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Does the current leadership have any new ideas or plans? Something they haven't already tried? Raising taxes (income, Obamacare) seems to be their only solution, and I wish there was someone who could ask them how raising taxes on anybody will grow the economy. Will Obama explain how he failed to cut the deficit in half, as he promised when running for office? Will he explain how stimulus money failed to lower unemployment? Perhaps he can explain where all the green jobs are, since I'm not even sure what a green job is. Perhaps he means the people who own the bankrupt green companies who received millions of stimulus money, companies like: Solyndra, Abound Solar, Energy Conversion Devices, BrightSource, LSP Energy, Evergreen Solar, Ener1, SunPower, Beacon Power, ECOtality, A123, Uni-Solar, Azure Dynamics, and now Solar Trust.
5:28 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
McCloud, have you by any chance heard of this little group in government called 'congress'? The president doesn't do much alone. You see, we have different branches of government that when working together, come to solutions through problem-solving and compromise. The premise of course, is that the government will work together to improve conditions for all Americans. There may be some give and take, but when you're working for everyone in a society, compromise may be the only way to get something done that will satisfy all to some extent. When a president works with a congress whose sole goal is to obstruct every single thing he tries to do just so that president will be defeated in the next election, not much is going to happen. That's been the situation pretty much since the day Obama was elected.
Guido McGinty
7:56 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
"When a president works with a congress whose sole goal is to obstruct every single thing he tries to do....."
I'm much more concerned about his actions rather than his inability to act.
"The premise of course, is that the government will work together to improve conditions for all Americans."
No government has ever worked for the poor on a net basis. The state exists to prey on the poor.
7:33 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Did you miss the first two years, when both houses of congress were super majority Democrats? Obama did exactly as he pleased, and now that things are miserably bad, fingers are pointing towards the house. All the house has done in the last two years is pass legislation only to have Reid kill it in the senate. You see, everybody needs cover when things go so bad, and Reid is Obama's cover.
8:17 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Sorry Mac. The so-called supermajority lasted for a little over forty days. Another republican scam to fool people like you. Another sorry Mac, but the senate has killed everything from the house? Really? You ain't worth the argument buddies! Go listen to old Rush reruns so you can be soothed by the absurd.
9:37 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Well, the Democrats had enough of a majority to pass the ACA.
As for the Senate, Reid just sits on bills that come from the house - if bills don't provide political cover for the Democrats for their abysmal record, he doesn't allow them to come up for a discussion or vote. You can now go back to your NYTimes and Madow reruns so YOU can be soothed by the absurd.
8:52 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
I'm thinking cold hard facts and reality you are not up for? I'm also thinking a good President has the burden to work with the opposition, like Reagan and even Clinton did. I am thinking that you really don't know the bills passed in the house, that Reid killed. Lastly, you probably would follow this President into the abyss, and still support him, as the abyss is in our rear view at this point.
11:47 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
No Mac, this president has never thrilled me. But I do prefer him to the obstructionists in the senate and the tea baggers in the house. Although you don't seem to understand, the credit rating was dropped because of the actions of the tea party in the house. It's all there in black and white should you care to read. And of course there's Mitch McConnells infamous quote after Obama's election regarding what his job would be for the next four years, but you probably don't believe that either. It too is in black and white,should you care to see.
8:35 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
What exactly did the so called obstructionists in the house prevent? More jobs bills? How did the ones they passed in the first two years work out? What is in black and white is the fact that Republicans caved to Obama during the debt ceiling fiasco, and the credit rating was downgraded anyway. Had they listened to the Tea Party, there may have been a chance that the mathematics would favor no change in the rating.
11:07 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
What are you talking about? You really have no clue do you? Let me ask you a question, just to see if you're even aware (I know it has nothing to do with the president or congress, but I really want to know if you have any semblance of accurate information)- what just happened in Florida, having to do with the election? If you need to look it up, that's okay.

Strength is so important that I'd talk about it all day if I could.
Since you've probably got a lot of other stuff that you need to get done today, I won't. Instead, I've narrowed the benefits down to the five that I think are most important.
If you are currently strength training on a regular basis, what you're about to read will make you feel even better about doing so. If you're not, let me explain exactly what being strong is going to do for you.
1. Whatever your sport, be it running, cycling, swimming or a bit of everything, being strong will make you better at it.
Walk into your local gym and tell the instructor that you're a runner. Chances are you'll be given a program designed to improve your endurance. It will almost certainly involve light weights and lots of repetitions.
The problem is that any form of endurance activity involves literally thousands of repetitions. There's no way you can replicate that in the gym. The best way to build endurance for running, cycling, or swimming is to go running, cycling and swimming. Then you use the gym to improve the qualities that aren't built as part of your normal training.
Think of it this way: When you're on your bike, each pedal stroke uses a certain percentage of your maximum strength. As you get stronger, the percentage of strength used on each pedal stroke goes down.
In this way, strength contributes to your endurance by improving the efficiency of each pedal stroke. It means you're able to do the same amount of work with less effort, or more work with the same amount of effort. Being strong makes you more economical.
You can also forget about the myth that strength training will make you "muscle bound" and inflexible. Simply lifting weights through a full range of motion can improve your flexibility as well as, or even better than, typical static stretching.
2. You will build a core of steel.
Contrary to a lot of the training advice out there, you don't need to do anything on a Swiss ball, a wobble board or any of the various balance devices in your local gym to strengthen your "core" muscles.
And the core is a lot more than just the abs. It's the collection of muscles that help to stabilize the spine. For our purposes, let's define the core as the muscles of the trunk and hips — basically, anything that isn't the head, arms or legs.
Someone who can perform a standing overhead press with their bodyweight and deadlift twice their bodyweight — which are reasonably impressive numbers for a drug-free, genetically "average" trainee — will have developed a very high level of core strength simply by focusing on getting stronger in both exercises.
In fact, core muscle activation that is similar to or higher than that achieved by exercising on an unstable surface can quite easily be achieved with ground-based free-weight exercises like squats and deadlifts.
Outside of a rehabilitation setting, much of what passes for core training represents wasted time that could be much better spent getting stronger.
3. Strength training will improve your appearance.
The vast majority of people who take up exercise (and I'm guessing this includes you) are not doing so because of their health. They are doing it because they want to look and feel better. And that is exactly what strength training is going to do for you.
If you're a woman, you are no doubt concerned that even the thought of pressing, pulling or squatting a heavy barbell will turn you into the female equivalent of the Incredible Hulk.
Testosterone is the main reason this isn't going to happen. Where size and strength are concerned, testosterone is undoubtedly the "King Kong" of all the anabolic hormones. And women don't have as much of it as men.
But the relatively small amount of muscle you gain will make a big difference to the way you look. Muscle takes up a lot less space than fat. So instead of getting bigger, the exchange of fat for muscle will make you look smaller and shapelier.
"If tone is the goal," writes Mark Rippetoe in Practical Programming, "strength is the method."
If you're a guy, strength training will leave your clothes feeling tighter in all the right places, especially across the chest, shoulders and arms. As your back and shoulders get broader, you'll create the illusion of a narrower waist. Not only will you feel strong, you will look it as well.
4. As well as looking better on the outside, you will become healthier on the inside.
Some people appear perfectly healthy from the outside. But on the inside they display early signs of insulin resistance along with a cluster of characteristics that can increase their risk of type II diabetes and heart disease.
As the name suggests, metabolically obese, normal-weight individuals have a normal weight based on traditional criteria. However, their blood sugar and insulin levels are far higher than would be expected based on their weight alone. They look fit on the outside but are fat on the inside.
And you won't be surprised to hear that one of the best ways to beat metabolic obesity is with a combination of strength and endurance training.
Both forms of exercise improve insulin sensitivity. But each one works in a slightly different way. When you train with weights, you gain muscle. And it's this extra muscle that helps to clear any excess sugar from your blood.
Endurance training, on the other hand, enhances glucose uptake independently of changes in muscle mass, increasing both the number and function of glucose transporters. These help to transport sugar from the blood into the muscle.
5. You will be able to quantify and measure your progress.
As I've explained here and here, most body fat tests are pretty useless at detecting changes in body composition. This makes it hard to tell if what you're doing is actually "working" as well as you'd like it to.
Training for strength is a lot more satisfying, mainly because your progress is a lot easier to quantify. You are able to see the progress you're making in the form of more weight on the bar.
This will give you a totally new sense of focus and direction. Going to the gym will be something you get excited about. Each workout will become a challenge to be conquered rather than another chore to add to your ever growing to-do list.
The terms "strength training" and "resistance training" are often used interchangeably. But they're not the same thing. Strength training isn't strength training unless it's making you strong.

It depends on what you value most. If keeping pesticides out of your food is your highest value, then buy organic. If you care most about freshness and quality or keeping local farms in business and circulating money in your community, buy local. But very often you can do both. Some local farmers are organic in everything but name, so before you decide to pass them up, ask them not "Are you organic" – to which the answer must be no if they haven't been certified – but rather, how do you deal with fertility and pests? That starts a more nuanced conversation that may convince you to buy their produce.
We can't afford to buy all our produce organic, so where should we direct our money to get the most benefit?
On produce, some items, when grown conventionally, have more pesticide residue than others, so when buying these, it pays to buy organic. According to the Environmental Working Group, the "dirty dozen" most pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables are: apples, celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach, imported nectarines, imported grapes, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, blueberries, lettuce and kale/collards. The "clean 15″ are onions, sweet corn, pineapples, avocado, asparagus, sweet peas, mangoes, eggplant, cantaloupe, kiwi, cabbage, watermelon, sweet potatoes, grapefruit and mushrooms. So if you've only got a little money to devote to organic, buy the organic apples and skip the organic onions. But do keep in mind that it's important to eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables regardless of how they're grown.
Why are vegetables and meat labeled "organic" so much more expensive than similar items without the "organic" label?
There are several reasons organic food costs more than conventional food. First, the demand for it exceeds the supply, and presumably, as more farmers transition to organic, the price will fall, though it will never match conventional prices. For one thing, organic farmers receive virtually no subsidies from the government. (European governments significantly subsidize the transition to organic; ours doesn't.) But even on a level playing field, farming organically would probably remain more expensive. Farming without chemicals is inherently more labor-intensive, especially when it comes to weeding. In animal agriculture, raising animals less intensively is always going to cost more.
Think about it this way: The "high" price of organic food comes a lot closer to the true price of producing that food – a price we seldom pay at the checkout. It's important to remember that when you buy conventional food, many costs have been shifted – to the taxpayer in the form of crop subsidies, to the farmworker in the form of health problems and to the environment in the form of water and air pollution.
O.K., apart from a clearer conscience, what does the premium paid for organic food get you as a consumer?
Organic food has little or no pesticide residues, and especially for parents of young children, this is a big deal. There is also a body of evidence that produce grown in organic soils often has higher levels of various nutrients. (But whether these are enough to justify the higher price is questionable.) Probably for the same reason, organic produce often tastes better than conventional (though a cross-country truck ride can obviate this edge).
So it's possible to make a case to the consumer for the superiority of organic food – but the stronger case is to the citizen. Farming without synthetic pesticides is better for the soil, for the water and for the air – which is to say, for the commons. It is also better for the people who grow and harvest our food, who would much rather not breathe pesticides. Producing meat without antibiotics will also help stave off antibiotic- resistance. If you care about these things, then the premium paid for organic food is money well spent.
Are there real opportunities for consumers to make an impact on factory farming, unsustainable agriculture and animal cruelty?
Absolutely. As the market for humanely raised meat grew in recent years, the industry responded. The egg industry recently committed to an effort to phase out tightly confining cages for laying hens; some pork producers are phasing out gestation crates; McDonald's has taken steps to ensure that the meat it buys is slaughtered more humanely; Chipotle now buys only humanely raised pork. There is no question that agribusiness responds to the "votes" of consumers on these issues. The food industry is terrified of you. And PETA!
New research from networking solutions firm Cisco UK and Ireland has found that the vast majority (90 per cent) of employees believe that "healthier workforces" benefit businesses.
The Health and Wellbeing survey involved 501 middle managers in part or full time employment, a further 89 per cent believe a fit and active employee performs better at work.
However, only 15 per cent of employees said their businesses had made changes to improve health and wellbeing as a result of major sports events taking place this summer.
A mere 13 per cent of firms were said to be running sport-inspired activity this summer, and just 38 per cent said their workplace was promoting team building through exercise.
Cisco UK and Ireland head of HR Phoebe Leet said: "2012 is a phenomenal year for sport and other large events, and I would urge companies across the UK to build on their existing health and HR policies in the coming months.
"This year is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to encourage and inspire employees to be proactive about their health in the long term which could help build a brilliant future for both their employees and their business."
The research was conducted throughout December by Vision Critical.

One question that seems to appear in my inbox on an almost daily basis centres on the effect that individual foods have on weight loss.
"I'm having a hard time losing the fat from my gut," wrote one reader. "Please can you give me a list of fat burning foods that will help get rid of it."
It seems people want to hear that there are "good" foods and "bad" foods, and if you want to build the body of a superhero, all you need to do is eat less of the bad ones and more of the good ones.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the idea there are special foods (blueberries, dark chocolate, avocados and so on) that will somehow burn fat is complete nonsense.
But it's the sort of nonsense that seems to pop up every so often on daytime TV or in the happy-clappy health magazines when they've got no more "declutter your life" or "I'm okay and you're okay" articles left to publish.
Ultimately, getting rid of fat requires a healthy diet and exercise. It's not about eating more of these so-called "fat burning" foods.
There are certain "hot" foods (such as red pepper) that give your metabolism a lift. But the overall effect is relatively small, and it's debatable whether the short-term increase in metabolism has much of an impact on fat loss over time.
It's also true that some foods increase postprandial thermogenesis to a greater extent than others. A chocolate bar (mainly carbs and fat) and a chicken breast (mainly protein) might have the same number of calories. But because the thermic effect of protein is higher than that of carbs or fat, your body uses up more energy processing the chicken than it does the chocolate bar.
However, none of this changes the fact that it's your overall diet rather than any individual food that will determine your rate of fat loss.
A good example of this comes from a recent study where a group of clinically obese adults was divided into two groups.
The first group ate a 300-calorie low-carbohydrate breakfast. The second group ate a 600-calorie breakfast that included cookies, cake, or chocolate. Both groups consumed the same daily total calories – the men 1600 calories per day and the women 1400.
At week 16, there was very little difference in weight loss between the two groups – 33 pounds in the low-carb group and 30 pounds in the dessert-for-breakfast group. From week 16 to week 32, the low-carbohydrate group regained some of the weight they lost, while the dessert-for-breakfast group carried on losing weight.
I'm not saying that you should eat cookies, cake or chocolate for breakfast. Nor am I saying that you can eat nothing but Twinkies or potatoes all day and expect the best possible results.
The composition of your diet matters. It affects things like hormone levels, appetite, energy expenditure and so on, all of which will have an influence on how much of the weight you lose comes from muscle or fat.
But contrary to what the food police will tell you, there is a middle ground that exists between eating nothing but potatoes or Twinkies and obsessing about every single food that passes your lips.
Good food is one of the things that makes life so enjoyable. There's no need to deprive yourself of all the stuff you enjoy in pursuit of complete nutrition perfection. You don't have to.
If you're looking to shrink and tone your belly, there's a better way to do it than trying to do crunches. In fact, research has shown that doing abdominal exercises alone—even when performed five days a week for six weeks—has no effect at all on subcutaneous fat stores and abdominal circumferencei.
In an op-ed piece for Forbes Magazine, Jennifer Cohen suggests using strategies that burn up cortisol insteadii. Cortisol is a hormone in your body that depletes lean muscle and holds on to fat in the abdominal region.
One of the most important ways to help this process is to reduce stress in your life, because stress causes cortisol levels to spike. Cohen also delves into a number of other strategies that help reduce your cortisol levels, such as the following.
Getting enough sleep Reducing or eliminating refined sugars from your diet Slowing down your breathing
Doing short bursts of exercise (high-intensity interval training) Supplementing with vitamin C Eating fats―the good kinds such as the omega 3′s found in salmon, avocados and walnuts
The KEY Strategy for Reducing Belly Fat
Cohen certainly brings up some good points. Getting sufficient amounts of sleep, for example, not only helps normalize cortisol levels, it's also important in order to optimize your circadian clock, which can have a profound impact on your metabolism and weight. As an example, a couple of years ago researchers at the University of Chicago found that dieters who slept for 8.5 hours lost 55 percent more body fat over the course of two weeks than dieters who only got 5.5 hours of sleep a night.iii
But the master key really lies with your diet, followed closely by the type of exercise you engage in.
About 80 percent of your ability to reduce excess body fat is determined by what you eat, with the other 20 percent related to exercise and other healthy lifestyle habits such as sleep and stress reduction. What this means is that if your diet is based on sugar/fructose and processed junk food, your chances of getting flat, ripped abs, even if you work out religiously, are quite slim…
You simply will not see defined abs unless you reduce your overall body fat, and a poor diet cause your body to hold on to excess fat, despite all your exercise efforts. Cohen mentions two of the most important dietary factors in her article, namely:
· Reducing or eliminating sugar from your diet. This includes ALL forms of sugar and fructose, whether refined or "all-natural" such as agave or honey, as well as all grains (including organic ones), as they quickly break down to sugar in your body
· Increasing healthful fats in your diet, such as healthy saturated fats and animal-based omega-3′s
One of the most pernicious dietary influences on your weight loss goals is fructose, which hides in so many processed foods and beverages, it can be near impossible to avoid unless you alter your shopping and cooking habits. By avoiding processed foods in general, and focusing instead on whole, preferably locally grown organic foods, cooked at home, you can circumvent one of the greatest dietary obstacles there is today.
The Primary, and the Most Surprising, Dietary Offenders
Fructose, primarily in the form of high fructose corn syrup hidden in processed foods and beverages is the primary contributing factor to widespread and seemingly out-of-control obesity.
What's the Best Fat-Busting Exercise?
Once you've addressed your diet, exercise can truly begin to work its magic on your physique, and help boost fat loss even further. The trick to achieve flat abs is to incorporate the correct types of exercises.
High-intensity interval exercises are at the core. This short intense training protocol improves muscle energy utilization and expenditure due to its positive effects on increasing muscle mass and improving muscle fibre quality. Muscle tissue burns three to five times more energy than fat tissues, so as you gain muscle, your metabolic rate increases, which allows you to burn more calories, even when you're sleeping. Further, several studies have confirmed that exercising in shorter bursts with rest periods in between burns more fat than exercising continuously for an entire session.
In fact, you can actually lose more weight by reducing the amount of time you spend on exercise, because when doing high-intensity interval training you only need 20 minutes, two to three times a week. Any more and you'll overdo it!
Obesity is the result of inappropriate lifestyle choices, and unfortunately, our government has done an abysmal job at disseminating accurate information about diet and health. For example, conventional advice that is driving public health in the wrong direction includes:
- Avoiding saturated fat: The myth that saturated fat causes heart disease has undoubtedly harmed an incalculable number of lives over the past several decades, even though it all began as little more than a scientifically unsupported marketing strategy for Crisco cooking oil. Most people actually need at least 50 percent of their diet to include healthful saturated fats such as organic, pastured eggs, avocados, coconut oil, real butter and grass-fed beef in order to optimize their health
- Cutting calories: Not all calories are created equal, and counting calories will not help you lose weight if you're consuming the wrong kind of calories
- Reducing your cholesterol to extremely low levels: Cholesterol is actually NOT the major culprit in heart disease or any disease, and the guidelines that dictate what number your cholesterol levels should be to keep you "healthy" are fraught with conflict of interest — and have never been proven to be good for your health
- Choosing diet foods will help you lose weight: Substances like Splenda and aspartame may have zero calories, but your body isn't fooled. When it gets a "sweet" taste, it expects calories to follow, and when this doesn't occur it leads to distortions in your biochemistry that may actually lead to weight gain
We have two bank holidays coming up, Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th June. We are open 8am until 7pm.

17.45-18.15 Express Spin (booking at reception only)
While we've been recommending high-intensity anaerobic training (Peak Fitness) using a cross trainer or a recumbent bike, how about high-intensity interval training using weights. By performing each movement in super-slow-motion, with minimal rest between exercises, you're effectively getting a very high-intensity exercise.
Interestingly, while they appear to be very different on the surface, both types of training achieve many of the same results, from working your cardiovascular system to improving strength and endurance, to promoting the production of human growth hormone (HGH). While being more effective than conventional strength training, this type of super-slow weight training is also much safer, as it actively prevents you from accidentally harming your joints or suffering repetitive use injury. This makes it an ideal form of exercise for virtually everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.
Even more astounding, you only need 12 minutes of Super-Slow type strength training once a week to achieve the same growth hormone production as you would with Peak Fitness!
So truly, if you've struggled finding time for an effective exercise routine, this could be the solution you've been looking for. The key to make it work is intensity. The intensity needs to be high enough that you reach muscle fatigue. If you've selected the appropriate weight for your strength and fitness level, that would be somewhere in the neighbourhood of just seven or eight repetitions. After your workout you will want to use the nutritional strategies above to support your recovery and muscle building.
Of course, strength training offers limitless benefits above and beyond muscle building, including weight loss, improved posture and improvements to back pain, so if you haven't added it to your fitness regimen just yet, what are you waiting for?
If you're looking for a powerful way to boost your overall fitness and get some serious results — fast –from your workout routine, look no further than the squat.
This is one exercise that should be a part of virtually everyone's routine, as it's relatively simple to perform, requires no equipment, and can be done just about anywhere.
More importantly, although squats are often regarded as "leg" exercises, they actually offer benefits throughout your entire body, including deep within your core…
The Top 8 Benefits of Squats
If you haven't yet started a regular exercise routine, you can find tips for doing so here.
Suffice it to say, a varied workout routine of appropriate intensity is one of the smartest health moves you can make, and adding squats to your routine is a must.
What makes squats such a fantastic exercise?
Builds Muscle in Your Entire Body
Squats obviously help to build your leg muscles (including your quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves), but they also create an anabolic environment, which promotes body-wide muscle building.
In fact, when done properly, squats are so intense that they trigger the release of testosterone and human growth hormone in your body, which are vital for muscle growth and will also help to improve muscle mass when you train other areas of your body aside from your legs.
So squats can actually help you improve both your upper and lower body strength.
Functional Exercise Makes Real-Life Activities Easier
Functional exercises are those that help your body to perform real-life activities, as opposed to simply being able to operate pieces of gym equipment. Squats are one of the best functional exercises out there, as humans have been squatting since the hunter-gatherer days. When you perform squats, you build muscle and help your muscles work more efficiently, as well as promote mobility and balance. All of these benefits translate into your body moving more efficiently in the real world too.
Burn More Fat
One of the most time-efficient ways to burn more calories is actually to gain more muscle! For every pound of additional muscle you gain, your body will burn an additional 50-70 calories per day. So, if you gain 10 pounds of muscle, you will automatically burn 500-700 more calories per day than you did before.
Maintain Mobility and Balance
Strong legs are crucial for staying mobile as you get older, and squats are phenomenal for increasing leg strength. They also work out your core, stabilizing muscles, which will help you to maintain balance, while also improving the communication between your brain and your muscle groups, which helps prevent falls – which is incidentally the #1 way to prevent bone fractures versus consuming mega-dose calcium supplements and bone drugs.
Prevent Injuries
Most athletic injuries involve weak stabilizer muscles, ligaments and connective tissues, which squats help strengthen. They also help prevent injury by improving your flexibility (squats improve the range of motion in your ankles and hips) and balance, as noted above.
Boost Your Sports Performance — Jump Higher and Run Faster
Whether you're a weekend warrior or a mom who chases after a toddler, you'll be interested to know that studies have linked squatting strength with athletic ability. i Specifically, squatting helped athletes run faster and jump higher, which is why this exercise is part of virtually every professional athlete's training program.
Tone Your Backside, Abs and Entire Body
Few exercises work as many muscles as the squat, so it's an excellent multi-purpose activity useful for toning and tightening your behind, abs, and, of course, your legs. Furthermore, squats build your muscles, and these muscles participate in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, helping to protect you against obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Help with Waste Removal
Squats improve the pumping of body fluids, aiding in removal of waste and delivery of nutrition to all tissues, including organs and glands. They're also useful for improved movement of feces through your colon and more regular bowel movements.

Patch Poll: Does Splitting the Housework Ensure a Happy Home?
Results of a new study may surprise you, suggesting that couples who divide household chores equally are more likely to divorce. How do you handle the housework at home? What do you think?
She dusts and vacuums. He washes the dishes and takes out the trash. The couple that splits household chores, 50-50, is a couple that's likely to stay happy, right?
Wrong, according to a new report that suggests the divorce rate among couples who share housework equally is around 50 percent higher than in homes where women do most of the work.
The study, conducted in Norway, runs contrary to other surveys—never mind modern-day opinion—that suggest couples are more likely to stay together and describe themselves as happy in relationships where responsibility for home tasks is equally shared, according to a story in The Telegraph newspaper.
Apparently divvying up the chores in an organized structure results in a relationship that's more businesslike than romantic, according to the study. Who knew?
Researchers said they are surprised by the findings, but they said they're confident the results aren't unique to Norway and pertain to couples elsewhere.
Are you surprised, too? And how do you handle the housework in your home?
Do you have an equitable split, or does one partner bear a heavier burden when it comes to housework and child care?
Do you and your partner have it all worked out? Or do you still tend to bicker over who does what—and how much?
Take our poll, and let us know in the comments your thoughts on the study and the subject. Got photos of how you handle the housework? Feel free to post them and show us all how it's done.
7:54 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
correlation does not equal causation. I.e., this correlation on its own says nothing about the effect of divvying up chores on marital longevity.
11:03 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
So true, jhonni! Next we'll hear that wearing red sox causes divorce because they polled 5000 people and asked if they ever wore red sox, and found that more of the people who did wear red sox were divorced.
Divorce rates are far higher among "modern" couples who share the housework than in those where the woman does the lion's share of the chores, a Norwegian study has found.
answer FAST!!!
Did a man or a woman determine this?
The survey appeared to contradict another recent one across seven countries including Britain that found that men who shouldered a bigger share of domestic responsibilities had a better sense of wellbeing and enjoyed a better work-life balance.
Probably some women involved in that one! :-)

I did all the housework, cooking, shopping, etc. for years, and she still complained. Divorcing her was the happiest day of my life. I still do all the housework, cooking, shopping, etc. but now I do it for someone who truly appreciates it ---- ME.
James Dale Barrington
10:16 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
True, jhonni. Marital longevity is not the goal, but it can be a benefit to a couples relationship, no question. I did most of the work simply because my wife had chronic progressive MS and was not able to do it. It actually worked as my therapy session, you might say. Another benefit was that it held within it the magic of 'sameness in mind' between us. She complimented me even when I fudged a little bit. Between that and a 'date night' scheduled into our monthly agenda kept us talking about a lot of nonsense with each other. Was it perfect?? Hell no. It took the first 10 years of our marriage to start all over again. Ego, and all of it's brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers are an impossible group to live with everyday 24-7. Saying 'I do,' anyway, and doing it until you actually don't mind it any more is like doing a puzzle or painting by the numbers or playing a board game. You have to stay with it awhile before it becomes something you like doing. Working around the house may be part of that.

My wife does the housework and I tell her what a good job she does at it ;-). 50/50

I think this strategy of slipping the housework is great. Clint, does your way of doing things really work?? I am trying to help my wife as much as possible. I honestly don't like seeing her doing everything by herself..!
8:02 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
The entire question obfuscates the nature of a good marital relationship. It suggests that the relationship is supported by some split of household duties. Some even suggest 50/50.
Anybody who tries to build a good marriage on any 50/50 split will find their relationship in trouble. Marriage is a 100/100 effort on both parties. It matters not if the topic is household chores, or any other tasks. Unless each is in the relationship 100%, failure is most likely the outcome.
Bad question ...

Look out Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal is back -- and the numbers stacking up suggest he's better than ever.
After a seven-month injury layoff between July and February, the Spaniard has now won three titles since returning to the court following Sunday's 4-6 6-3 6-4 defeat of Juan Martin del Potro in the final of the Indian Wells Masters.
It was the 11-time grand slam winner's 600th ATP Tour win -- Federer is the only other active player to have reached that figure -- and it helped Nadal notch up a record 22nd Masters 1000 title.
The former world No. 1's triumph over Argentine Del Potro at the hard-court event also took him to 17 wins and one defeat for 2013 -- his best ever start to a season.
"A lot of things happened in the last seven months, (so) to be back here and to have this very heavy trophy with me is amazing," the 26-year-old told the ATP Tour's official website after his third win at the event.
"Beating three top 10 players and winning a title like this is just something unbelievable for me. I'm very, very happy and very emotional."
However after playing 18 matches in six weeks, the new world No. 4 has pulled out of next weekend's Miami Masters, though he plans to return for April's Monte Carlo Masters, where he will bid for a ninth successive triumph at the clay court event -- the Mallorcan's favorite surface.
"When you have one comeback like I'm having, you remember all the low things, lower moments that you had during those seven months," added Nadal.
"Hopefully I passed and can just remember all the people that really helped me a lot during all this time."
Del Potro had beaten third seed Murray and world No.1 Djokovic to reach the final, but conceded he couldn't match Nadal.

A one week old puppy survived being flushed down a toilet!
In Britain, a four year old flushed his puppy down the toilet accidently while trying to give it a bath. The one week old cocker spaniel got muddy while playing in the garden, so the little boy thought he needed a bath to clean up.
The puppy got stuck in the wastepipe for four hours. Firefighters and animal welfare officers were called to the house to help the puppy, but they couldn't get to it. The mother finally called a plumber who found the puppy upside down in a pipe about 20 meters from the house in London.
The plumber used a long rod to push the puppy to the nearest manhole where he could safely be removed. Amazingly, the puppy survived and was named Dyno after the plumbing company that rescued him. The little boy blamed his twin brother for getting Dyno dirty in the first place, but promised he would never flush him down the toilet again.
