Sourse:Greek Salad Recipe

Amid the clamour over the Greek debt crisis, a far more perilous threat to the global economy is becoming increasingly apparent. The global economic and financial crisis has wreaked havoc on the United Kingdom's public finances, with no clear path to salvation.

Consider the following statistics. Greece has a GDP of approximately $350 billion, compared with $2.2 trillion for the UK. In other words, the Greek economy is only 16% the aggregate size of Great Britain's. The proportion of Greece's annual deficit to GDP is 12.5%, a figure that has triggered the current Greek sovereign debt crisis and panic search for a bailout formula within the Eurozone. Yet, in the much larger UK economy, the deficit to GDP ratio has reached 13%, an even higher level than for Greece, which has aroused so much fear among global investors and policymakers. Furthermore, while the UK's official public national debt comprises 68% of GDP, a figure lower than America's and much lower than with Greece, that level of indebtedness is accelerating at a rapid rate. It must be recalled that only three years ago the UK national debt to GDP ratio was only 38%, and with double digit deficits now an inescapable fiscal reality in the United Kingdom, it seems almost certain that the nation's public debt will exceed 100% of GDP within the next three years. Furthermore, it is widely believed by analysts and investors that off balance sheet public debts (as was similarly revealed in relation to Greece's current debt crisis) and unfunded contingent liabilities significantly add to the official figures.

What do these dismal statistics tell us about the future trajectory of the UK's profound sovereign debt and economic crisis? Consider what Kornelius Purps, fixed income director at UniCredit, Europe's 2nd largest bank, told the British newspaper,The Daily Telegraph; “Britain's AAA-rating is highly at risk. The budget deficit is huge at 13% of GDP and investors are not happy. The outgoing government is inactive due to the election. There will have to be absolute cuts in public salaries or pay, but nobody is talking about that.”

In effect, the UK economy is at a dangerous tipping point. Massive public indebtedness occurred as a result of the government's bailout of its banks, yet businesses remain afflicted by a severe credit crunch. Massive stimulus spending has added enormously to the deficit, but the only result has been suspect figures that, if interpreted most optimistically, show that the UK's economy has essentially flatlined after incurring a sharp contraction in economic output during the height of the global financial crisis.

The predictable outcome, as alluded to by Kornelius Purps, is that in the future the UK's treasury gilts will be unable to finance the nation's prodigious borrowing needs with historically low interest rates. At some point, perhaps sooner than many realize, interest rates on the UK's debt instruments will rise precipitously. This will occur while GDP growth is at best sluggish. Sharp reductions in public spending will almost certainly tip the economy back into deep recession, further constricting revenue and maintaining London's fiscal imbalance. However, the alternative is even more unpalatable. The sovereign bond market will demand increasingly higher yields, leading to a fiscal reality that is unsustainable. Ultimately, the United Kingdom will face the real prospect of national insolvency, with all the predictable dire consequences.

This grim trajectory has an even darker meaning for the United States. As bad as the UK's fiscal situation is, America's is far worse. Its annual deficit to GDP ratio is only marginally lower than Great Britain's. Furthermore, its national debt to GDP correlation is significantly higher. More importantly, the average period of turnover on the United Kingdom's debt is 14 years, compared with a mere four years on U.S. Treasuries. Once bond yields start to rise, the short term structure of America's national debt will incur a vast increase in annual interest payments.

It seems to this observer that it is only a matter of time before the UK sinks into an irreversible sovereign debt cataclysm, with the United States not far behind. Anyone who believes that the same political establishment and financial elites that have led both nations to this hellish fiscal precipice can now lead us to a sustainable solution is, in all probability, being excessively hopeful.

Greece has a E8.22 billion redemption due on April 20 and another E8.086 billion payment on May 19, which must be refinanced. It also has sizeable coupon payments in coming months, which total E3.923 billion.

 

Greece has so far raised E8.0 billion with a new five-year benchmark bond issued via syndication on January 26. It has also raised E2.0 billion in a private placement conducted in December, which was seen as pre-funding for 2010.

In addition, the debt agency has raised E2.8 billion through sales of T-bills with 13-week, 26-week and 52-week maturities, in part to cover a T-bill redemption of E1.51 billion that was due on January 15 and of E1.95 billion redeemed on January 22.

Greece's borrowing programme for 2010 is estimated at E54 billion, considerably less than last year's E66.0 billion.

In the meantime, while both Moody's and Fitch have affirmed their negative outlooks on Greece, both rating agencies can't find enough praise just how wonderful yet more actionless yapping out of Ellada is. And now add the IMF to that list, after the Currency Board expert said that it “welcomes substantial measures by Greece today” and “stands ready to support implementation of the Greek plan (with TECHNICAL assistance).” Whether this means that the IMF's 191 tons of gold (for ~$7 billion) will be sold tomorrow is unclear.

The only voice of reason here seems a little line in the Fitch report which notes that the “debt market access window is closing quite rapidly.”

Full Moody's report below, which is preparing its brand new AAAA rating, especially for Greece. Somehow merely talking about austerity measures is now considered sufficient. We fully expect Arnie to come out and say that California will adopt the same austerity as Greece… in 3049. And Moody's VP Sarah Carlson will be first in line to believe any and all promises. Former Moody's employee Deep Shah had no comment as of the time of this posting.

 

 

Moody's: Greece's New Austerity Measures Lend Credibility to Fiscal Adjustment Plan

 

London, 03 March 2010 — Moody's Investors Service today said that the additional fiscal
measures announced by the Greek government are consistent with Moody's
current A2 rating, with a negative outlook, for Greece's
government bonds. Today Moody's also published an Issuer
Comment, entitled “A Ten-Point Analysis of Greece's
A2 (Neg) Rating”, which reiterates the rating agency's
rationale behind Greece's rating and the conditions under which
that rating could change.

 

“These new measures are a clear manifestation of the government's
resolve to regain control of public finances,” says Sarah
Carlson, VP-Senior Analyst in Moody's Sovereign Risk
Group and lead analyst for Greece. In an economic and market environment
that has become increasingly challenging, these measures increase
the probability of debt stabilization provided that they, and the
previously announced policy measures, are fully implemented.

 

“The onus is on the government to demonstrate that it does not merely
announce ambitious plans, but is also able to deliver on these commitments,”
says Ms. Carlson. “However, Moody's does
not expect Greek public finances to be turned around in a fortnight,

adds Ms. Carlson, insisting that the Greek government needs
to be given time to allow it to follow through on its plan.

 

As repeatedly stated by the rating agency, Greece's current
A2 (Neg) rating balances two factors: on the one hand, Moody's
assessment that the government faces limited short-term liquidity
risk; on the other, Moody's concern about the long-term
erosion in Greece's creditworthiness given its need to deleverage
the economy (starting with the public sector) in a context of weak competitiveness
and slow regional growth.

 

Going forward, maintaining the government bond rating at A2 will,
according to Moody's, be contingent upon the government executing
its fiscal austerity programme and delivering the quantum of deficit reduction
that has been promised. Signs that deficit reductions will fall
short of what has been promised would likely lead to downgrades —
as suggested by the negative outlook — in proportion with the shortfall.

 

Moody's last rating action on Greece was implemented on 22 December
2009, when the rating agency downgraded Greece's government
bond ratings to A2 from A1, with a negative outlook.

 

The principal methodology used in rating the government of Greece is Moody's
Sovereign Bond Methodology, published in September 2008, which
can be found at www.moodys.com in the Rating Methodologies
sub-directory under the Research & Ratings tab. Other
methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process
of rating this issuer can also be found in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory
on the Moody's website.

Sourse:Seafood Salad Recipe

Blood clams are a type of ark clam found in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, and the Indo-Pacific region. As their name implies, the clams are red, due to having the red blood pigments hemoglobin and myoglobin, This gives them better oxygen transfer allowing them to live in murky low oxygen environments. Most clams have clear blood.

Here's the part that freaked me out: blood clams filter 40 liters of sea water per day, a larger amount than most shellfish. This means if they are harvested from areas that do not practice standard sanitary regulations, the clams absorb harmful bacteria and viruses such as hepatitis, typhoid or dysentery. Research has found that the hepatitis virus can survive for as long as three months in the clams.

They are currently banned in China as blood clams harvested in China were responsible for a hepatitis outbreak. It is illegal to import Chinese blood clams in the United States, but smugglers still manage to get them in, and there have been crackdowns and arrests in New York City's Chinatown on discoveries of seafood shops selling illegal Chinese-harvested blood clams.

Blood clams from other locations are okay, just not the ones from China or Southeast Asia. Since I have no idea where the blood clams I purchased came from, I decided against eating them, just to be on the safe side. Scary!

When the American food machine turns out a new salty treat, they turn to Jeremy Selwyn for approval. Tali Yaholom on one man’s decade-long odyssey to find the perfect snack.

Jeremy Selwyn’s passion is to find every single snack in America, no matter how obscure or bizarre, and then write about his reaction. Consider this past Monday: After discovering risotto-flavored potato chips manufactured by a relatively unknown company, New York Style, Selwyn brought a bag into his office and urged his co-workers to try some. “Everybody was like, ‘What the heck is that?’” he laughed, but “as it turned out, they were pretty good.” So the chips, described as rice crackers with a Doritos-like flavor will soon become the 4,423rd on Selwyn’s 10-year-old site, Taquitos.net, a compendium of snacks that sound like salty Willie Wonka concoctions: seaweed corn crackers, octopus-flavored potato chips and peanut butter and jelly popcorn, to name a few.

Snack manufacturers will defensively tweak their recipes to satisfy Selwyn’s criticisms.

The site started as a solution to a monotonous newspaper job in central Massachusetts, where Selwyn would pass time by buying creative-sounding snacks at a local convenience store. During this time, salt and vinegar- or ketchup-flavored potato chips were “somewhat of a novelty,” and Selwyn quickly became known as the guy who eats weird junk food at 8 in the morning, which turned out well for him, as his friends and colleagues soon began bringing exotic snacks for “the chip guy” to try out. A site was born, that now attracts about 30,000 snack-happy visitors a month, according to Quantcast.

What separates Taquitos.net—named for a Trader Joe’s offering and a Simpsons joke—from most other cult food blogs is everyman appeal, its creator’s eagerness to shove a herb-roasted anchovy-flavored potato chip down his throat. “For people who are adventurous, it’s fun to try different things,” Selwyn says. “It’s fun to see something you couldn’t imagine existed and then eat it.” Selwyn, who goes by “Chief Snacks Officer” when he’s not working his day job as a Web site developer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, finds his craziest-sounding nosh when travelling abroad (England introduced him to Cajun squirrel-flavored potato chips) or visiting Asian grocery stores in Chinatown (home to all things seafood). Snack manufacturers regularly send Selwyn complimentary cases of their newest products and, occasionally, will defensively tweak their recipes to satisfy Selwyn’s criticisms—such was the case of a certain caramel popcorn, which Selwyn complained left too much sugar on his hands.

• Watch: 12 Banned Super Bowl Ads Selwyn is careful not to brand himself as any sort of culinary expert, though his site reflects the national obsession with snacking in general, and extreme snacking in particular. “Personally, I have kind of no actual background in food preparation or food science,” he says. “I’m a terrible cook. I really just eat these things as an ordinary snacker and I’m surprised by the number of people who read my reviews who say, ‘You had that one right on,' which isn’t to say everyone agrees with me or I want everyone to agree with me, but I call it as I see it and I’m just aiming at ordinary snackers.”

There is a “sub-industry trying to crusade against snacking,” he adds, but “people are going to eat what they want to eat” and, regardless, “more and more people are willing to experiment.”

Plus, there’s room for the foodie elite to participate, since snack manufacturers often try recipes incorporating gourmet trends and exotic foreign foods. “It’s whatever the flavors are of the moment tend to get integrated into snacks, whether it’s some ethnic combination or a spice or a food like bacon,” adds Ed Levine, founder of Serious Eats. “When big snack food companies are fighting for shelf space, one way you battle for shelf space is by broadening your line.”

muscle relaxers

Muscle Relaxers For

Over the last few days we have been hearing numerous stories about Gregory “Hurricane” Helms. As most have heard by now, both he and Chris Jericho were arrested a few days ago.

But why was Jericho allowed to compete at the Royal Rumble and Helms was pulled?

The reason is completely simple, Jericho wasn't the man who caused any issues. In fact, the police were called for Helms and his reckless behavior, and because Jericho stuck around (unlike Matt Hardy who was with both Helms and Jericho but ran when police arrived) he was arrested for being intoxicated in public.

Kinda reminds me of what a comedian said. “I was thrown out in public while being in a bar, I was caught by police and they wanted to arrest me for being drunk in public, I wasn't drunk in public, I was drunk in a bar. They threw me out in public.”

They both were apparently play wrestling and Jericho got hit, which is where the black eye you saw him sporting at The Royal Rumble came from. Helms was said to have done that, and allegedly struck a woman.

Helms and Jericho were arrested and then bailed out soon after, but the story doesn't stop there.

At the time of the arrest, Helms had what police said was ”one white round pill.” Now, some could think this was claritan or something along those lines at first glance unless they were a pharmacist or another type of drug professional.

So the police asked Helms about it, and Helms told them it was Soma. The pill is a generic version of the muscle relaxer Carisoprodol and a schedule four narcotic. Many who have used it said it is a very good, I've never tried it so I'm going by online reports here.

Now Helms claimed that he had a prescription for it, but he was unable to prove it at the time of the arrest.

The police did not charge Helms for the single pill, but should he be unable to provide a prescription he will be in violation of the WWE Wellness Policy and Kentucky state law. I am not sure on what their policy is for possession of one Soma pill though.

A lot of wrestlers use pain killers or muscle relaxers, and many in places such as the WWE or TNA have prescriptions for them. There are times in which they do not, where they have some that have a prescription yet have others without one.

But it's mostly Indy wrestlers that don't have prescriptions for drugs nowadays.

In any case, Helms may be out the door quite soon.

And this was before the arrest by the way. According to my sources, Helms met with the WWE legal department early last month about a release from World Wrestling Entertainment.

It was believed that if he was going to be leaving the WWE, it would be after the Royal Rumble at some point.

Helms has a veteran's policy in his contract, which means his no compete clause when released is about 45 days, instead of the normal 90 most wrestlers see upon their release from the WWE.

If he is released from the WWE, it could be at some point this month. It's unlikely the WWE would use him at WrestleMania, and there is no storyline for him going into the Elimination Chamber PPV either.

So with that being said, Helms could be gone very soon. Especially with all the legal trouble he has been in.

While many would think that he is being released for the legal trouble, we should keep in mind that he allegedly asked for the release.

I say stay glued to WWE.com to see if he is gone. But for now this is all the news on Helms I can find and what I've heard from a few sources.

Sourse:Seafood Salad Recipe
Makes 4-6 servings

2 small-medium acorn squashes
3-4 leaves kale, thick stems trimmed and chopped to 2-inch pieces
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
sprinkle of sea salt or coarse kosher salt
pinch of nutmeg (optional)
about 1/2 cup pine nuts
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard or reserve for another use. Grease a baking tray with a tablespoon or two of the olive oil and place squashes cut side-down. Roast for about 30 minutes or until the squash is tender when poked (depending on size/shape of your squash). Let cool completely. Scoop out flesh from the skins and discard skin. Combine the squash with the vegetable stock and process with a hand blender or by transfering until smooth. Bring to a simmer in a medium pot and season with salt and pepper to taste, adding the optional nutmeg if desired. Once seasoning is correct, add the milk or half-and-half and heat through completly.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Toss the kale pieces with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a sprinkle of coarse salt. Spread across a baking tray in an even layer and bake for about 1-2 minutes, or until loud crackling is heard. Carefully rotate the kale with tongs or by shaking the pan (carefully, it’s hot!). Place back in the oven and cook another 1-2 minutes, or until some pieces are just browned. Let cool. Top the soup with a handful of the kale chips and a sprinkle of the pine nuts.

Make Scrambled Eggs and Bacon in the Oven

Scrambled eggs and bacon are a hearty, heart-warming way to start a day, but they require a bit too much stove-top work and dish dirtying for a typical morning. Not so if you follow this oven technique, which keeps your eggs fluffy.

The TipNut blog's recipe calls for 12 eggs, but that's a number you can easily break down into smaller portions. Add a good bit of milk and a bit of butter, add the mixture to a greased pan, place in an oven warmed to 350 degrees, and then:

When eggs begin to set (after cooking for about 10 minutes), take a spatula and push the eggs from side to side to scramble them (you'll notice the edges are where the eggs first start cooking), make sure to scrape the bottom and sides well. Continue cooking for approximately another 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so to scramble as the eggs really start setting up.

The full post describes a method for also cooking bacon alongside the eggs. The advantage of the oven is not having to work about the direct heat drying out the bottom of your eggs, and cooking bacon in the oven certainly condenses the clean-up.

If you've got a simplified morning breakfast recipe, we'll certainly take your tips in the comments.

Basic Ways to Be in Good Health

February 19th, 2010 by thomassimpson1963

Everyone gets sick once in a while. Itis expected. Therefore people have sick time at job. That's why there are physician and insurance companies. But there are a few basic things to make sure you stay in general perfect health. You should wash your hands. In general, not enough people do this. When taking the restroom. Investigations have been done and a shockingly low percentage of men and women wash their hands after taking the lavatory or before meals.

Sto. Niño Dela O (15) by kevardvalin3399

I always tell you: Consume water. Liquid cures all ills. Deprivation of water is the culprit of many general ill health like headaches and plus bloating. 8 cups of water is the minimum so be sure you're consuming at least that much. Think that fruits and vegetable juices count towards your daily scoop of hydrating beverages. Sport. Physical activity does not have to mean hours on the treadmill sweating away to exhaustion. Sport can be as easy as walking across the parking lot to the grocery store or doing housework. That's right! Vacuuming burns calories intake! The more active in basic you are the more exercise youare getting. Think getting a passometer. Passometer's have shown that people who wear pedometer's are more effective than those who do not.

weight loss programs

February 10th, 2010 by thomassimpson1963

For many, weight loss has become an unreachable goal that conjures bleak thoughts of misery and failure. Fitness and weight loss programs peddled on television are significant contributors to these thoughts and feelings because of the promises they make to transform us quickly and easily. Because the pervasive marketing of these programs have permeated into our psyche the idea that weight loss can be as easy as 1-2-3, many are unprepared mentally when they embark on an attempt to lose weight – with or without a program. The reality is that weight loss, like weight gain, takes time.

At the core of every unsuccessful attempt at weight loss is a mental hurdle that could not be overcome, and often, these are hurdles that could have been removed before a single calorie was counted, lap walked, or weight lifted. Remove the assertions of television marketing and get real. Weight loss occurs as a result of your body using more energy than it consumes, and the goal is to establish a harmonious relationship between the two that can be sustained. Think about that.

What do you do when driving on an interstate and realize you need to turn around? Do you simply start turning the wheel furiously without regard for the safety of yourself and others? Of course not. You consider a good exit, check your mirrors, slow down, and make several turns before finally heading in the right direction.

Before deciding to start making good on your New Year's resolution for this year to lose weight, do yourself a favor and develop a practical approach that isn't centered around starvation, physical exhaustion, or gimmicks. Take a couple weeks to plan. Keep a journal during that time to note your eating habits and thoughts. Read what has worked for others and consider what might work for you. Think long term, but develop a gradual approach that begins with immediate changes to your diet and lifestyle. With commitment, a practical approach, and realistic expectations, you will achieve healthy and sustainable weight loss on your own terms.

Grocery Store Excursion Nutritional Education Weight Loss Camp Lifestyle Change Fitness Retreat Vacation by Utah's Live-in Fitness Camp


As the New Year's Resolution crowd looks to lose weight once again, many people are combining it with another recession-inspired resolution: managing money better.

WalletPOP's Geoff Williams has been chronicling his efforts to lose weight while saving money, and I recently looked at how exercise videos can offer an affordable alternative to the gym for fitness newcomers. Today, The Wall Street Journal reports on (subscription required) a few other possibilities: walking around the mall in groups, participating in free or ultra low-cost yoga classes, and bike paths.

Time Magazine covered the rise of mall-walking way back in 1985, and About.com recommends checking with the information desk at your local mall to find out about mall walking programs. Alternatively, you could just go to the mall and walk around on your own without the structure and motivation of companions there to talk you out of ducking into the Godiva store for refreshments.

You could also go vintage and buy this Suzanne Somers Thighmaster on eBay — complete with the instructional VHS! Or you could go really vintage — as in practically antique — and work out with Jack Lalanne, who has uploaded some of his vintage exercise programs onto his website so you can watch them on your laptop while you work out. He's 95 years old, and he's in better shape than most 20-year-olds. So clearly he knows of what he speaks.

The bottom line is that lack of money is never an excuse for not getting in shape. There are tons of alternatives to gym memberships that cost little or nothing.

Losing weight and getting fit preoccupied Americans in 2009:

  • Nearly one out of two American women, including high school girls, were on a diet.
  • Over 40 billion was spent on branded diet plans.
  • Children as young as 9 to 11 years old were sometimes or very often dieting.

Yet an epidemic of obesity continues to affect more people than ever before:

  • Less than a third of adults enjoyed normal weight.
  • Children were two to three times more likely to be overweight today than they were 30 years ago.

Can we begin to reverse these worrisome trends in 2010?
We can if we update our old views with new ways to look at fitness in the coming year.

Old View: It's hopeless! Efforts to lose weight are inevitably doomed to fail. Even if a person manages to lose weight, he or she will eventually regain the weight and add back even more.

New View: You can do it! Strategies for making healthier choices involving diet, physical conditioning and improved self-care are available to you and can be learned. Championing this view is Kelly Brownell, Ph. D., who heads the LEARN Program for Weight Management at Yale University. And thanks to widespread access to the Internet, peer counseling in online communities is expanding. Internet support may include food and exercise diaries, weekly counseling, online weight-loss lessons and motivational phone calls.

Old View: Thin is in! Most individuals, especially women, seek to lose weight because they have internalized the media's ultrathin ideal.

New View: Healthy is in! Health is replacing vanity as the primary reason for pursuing fitness and weight loss. In 2009, researchers reported that four healthy habits could reduce or eliminate 80 percent of major medical problems: eating a healthy diet, not smoking, exercising regularly and maintaining a normal body weight. This insight, combined with rising medical costs, is triggering a focus on fitness.

Old View: If you are fat, you are a bad person. Obesity is a personal problem caused by a lack of willpower.

New View: Obesity is a disease that is treatable. The cost of providing medical care per person has skyrocketed from $356 in 1970 to $8,160 in 2009. Moreover, in 2009, the cost of treating obesity-related medical problems reached $147 billion. Given these costs, obesity has become a public health concern requiring a multifaceted community-based approach. In response, community leaders in Albert Lea, Minnesota, implemented a comprehensive lifestyle program to improve the health and longevity of the city's residents. To increase employee productivity and reduce health insurance costs and absenteeism, corporate wellness programs are proliferating.

Old View: Low-fat diets are required to lose weight. Eating fat makes a person fat. To lose weight, a dieter needs to stick with low- or no-fat foods.

New View: Total calories actually determine weight. The total calories consumed by a person, whether from carbs, fats or proteins, determines weight. Since the goal is a balanced diet, the Mediterranean diet, which includes healthy fats, is recommended by the Mayo Clinic and the American Heart Association as a nutritionally sound and healthy eating plan. Nuts, which until recently were on dieters' “do not eat” lists, are making a comeback because of their health benefits, especially almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans and macadamia nuts. Momentum is growing for mandating information on the caloric content of fast foods and food products.

Old View: Medical intervention is needed. Weight-loss drugs or bariatric surgery can solve the problem of surplus pounds for many people, and advances in medicine can address obesity-related problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.

New View: A healthy lifestyle is the best way. Prevention, rather than treatment of obesity-related medical problems, will move to the forefront because of the rising cost of medical insurance and healthcare. While the number of bariatric surgeries will continue to skyrocket, family physicians will increasingly write exercise prescriptions in lieu of drug prescriptions.

Old View: Ignore overweight children. Children who are overweight will outgrow their chubbiness, so kids' surplus pounds can be ignored.

New View: Help overweight children now! Dr. Robert Murray, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on School Health, is alarmed that nearly half of kids and teens are overweight or obese and, as a consequence, children's life expectancies are lower than their parents'. Treating childhood obesity is a serious medical problem that if ignored will place the child at risk for heart disease, diabetes and other serious medical conditions.

Old View: Don't ask, don't tell. Asking employees to modify their unhealthful behavior is an invasion of privacy and violates employees' right to choose their own lifestyle.

New View: Offer help, incentives and access to experts. In 2008, medical insurance premiums reached a record $15,609 for a family of four. Employers are proactively seeking to reduce costs (medical insurance, workers' compensation claims and absenteeism) by restructuring benefit programs. In increasing numbers, employees are being offered incentives to quit smoking or lose weight. They face penalties if they refuse to change habits that drive up the cost of healthcare.

Old View: Hard-core exercise one hour daily. Going to a gym daily for a 60-minute workout on a treadmill and resistance equipment is the best way to exercise.

New View: Diversity, fun and enjoyment. Thanks to popular television programs, dancing for fitness is back, particularly Zumba, a one-hour workout that fuses Latin rhythms with calorie-burning dance movements. Exergaming, such as Wii and Dance Dance Revolution, continues to grow in popularity with young and old alike. Michelle Obama has made the Hula-Hoop popular once again. The use of technologically sophisticated feedback gadgets, from pedometers to heart monitors, will expand. To attract members to the gym during tough economic times, more fitness centers will offer cardio cinema so members can watch a movie while exercising.

Will we continue to get fatter until 2018 when, according to research by Kenneth Thorpe, PhD, of Emory University, 40 percent of us will be obese (and another 33 percent overweight)?

If we are to succeed in reversing the obesity trends and mounting medical care costs, we'll have to find new approaches. And the more readily we learn from the past and update our understanding of the complex nature and causes of obesity, the more quickly we can successfully move into a healthy future.

Old View: It's hopeless! Efforts to lose weight are inevitably doomed to fail. Even if a person manages to lose weight, he or she will eventually regain the weight and add back even more.

New View: You can do it! Strategies for making healthier choices involving diet, physical conditioning and improved self-care are available to you and can be learned. Championing this view is Kelly Brownell, Ph. D., who heads the LEARN Program for Weight Management at Yale University. And thanks to widespread access to the Internet, peer counseling in online communities is expanding. Internet support may include food and exercise diaries, weekly counseling, online weight-loss lessons and motivational phone calls.

Old View: Thin is in! Most individuals, especially women, seek to lose weight because they have internalized the media's ultrathin ideal.

New View: Healthy is in! Health is replacing vanity as the primary reason for pursuing fitness and weight loss. In 2009, researchers reported that four healthy habits could reduce or eliminate 80 percent of major medical problems: eating a healthy diet, not smoking, exercising regularly and maintaining a normal body weight. This insight, combined with rising medical costs, is triggering a focus on fitness.

Old View: If you are fat, you are a bad person. Obesity is a personal problem caused by a lack of willpower.

New View: Obesity is a disease that is treatable. The cost of providing medical care per person has skyrocketed from $356 in 1970 to $8,160 in 2009. Moreover, in 2009, the cost of treating obesity-related medical problems reached $147 billion. Given these costs, obesity has become a public health concern requiring a multifaceted community-based approach. In response, community leaders in Albert Lea, Minnesota, implemented a comprehensive lifestyle program to improve the health and longevity of the city's residents. To increase employee productivity and reduce health insurance costs and absenteeism, corporate wellness programs are proliferating.

Old View: Low-fat diets are required to lose weight. Eating fat makes a person fat. To lose weight, a dieter needs to stick with low- or no-fat foods.

New View: Total calories actually determine weight. The total calories consumed by a person, whether from carbs, fats or proteins, determines weight. Since the goal is a balanced diet, the Mediterranean diet, which includes healthy fats, is recommended by the Mayo Clinic and the American Heart Association as a nutritionally sound and healthy eating plan. Nuts, which until recently were on dieters' “do not eat” lists, are making a comeback because of their health benefits, especially almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans and macadamia nuts. Momentum is growing for mandating information on the caloric content of fast foods and food products.

Old View: Medical intervention is needed. Weight-loss drugs or bariatric surgery can solve the problem of surplus pounds for many people, and advances in medicine can address obesity-related problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.

New View: A healthy lifestyle is the best way. Prevention, rather than treatment of obesity-related medical problems, will move to the forefront because of the rising cost of medical insurance and healthcare. While the number of bariatric surgeries will continue to skyrocket, family physicians will increasingly write exercise prescriptions in lieu of drug prescriptions.

Old View: Ignore overweight children. Children who are overweight will outgrow their chubbiness, so kids' surplus pounds can be ignored.

New View: Help overweight children now! Dr. Robert Murray, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on School Health, is alarmed that nearly half of kids and teens are overweight or obese and, as a consequence, children's life expectancies are lower than their parents'. Treating childhood obesity is a serious medical problem that if ignored will place the child at risk for heart disease, diabetes and other serious medical conditions.

Old View: Don't ask, don't tell. Asking employees to modify their unhealthful behavior is an invasion of privacy and violates employees' right to choose their own lifestyle.

New View: Offer help, incentives and access to experts. In 2008, medical insurance premiums reached a record $15,609 for a family of four. Employers are proactively seeking to reduce costs (medical insurance, workers' compensation claims and absenteeism) by restructuring benefit programs. In increasing numbers, employees are being offered incentives to quit smoking or lose weight. They face penalties if they refuse to change habits that drive up the cost of healthcare.

Old View: Hard-core exercise one hour daily. Going to a gym daily for a 60-minute workout on a treadmill and resistance equipment is the best way to exercise.

New View: Diversity, fun and enjoyment. Thanks to popular television programs, dancing for fitness is back, particularly Zumba, a one-hour workout that fuses Latin rhythms with calorie-burning dance movements. Exergaming, such as Wii and Dance Dance Revolution, continues to grow in popularity with young and old alike. Michelle Obama has made the Hula-Hoop popular once again. The use of technologically sophisticated feedback gadgets, from pedometers to heart monitors, will expand. To attract members to the gym during tough economic times, more fitness centers will offer cardio cinema so members can watch a movie while exercising.

Will we continue to get fatter until 2018 when, according to research by Kenneth Thorpe, PhD, of Emory University, 40 percent of us will be obese (and another 33 percent overweight)?

If we are to succeed in reversing the obesity trends and mounting medical care costs, we'll have to find new approaches. And the more readily we learn from the past and update our understanding of the complex nature and causes of obesity, the more quickly we can successfully move into a healthy future.

Blocking a single enzyme leads to increased energy expenditure and loss of body fat — at least in mice, researchers said.

Mice treated with a compound that blocks the so-called Fyn kinase expended 14% more energy than animals treated with an inert compound, according to Claire Bastie, PhD, and colleagues at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.

They also displayed a significant weight loss within 12 hours of receiving the compound, compared with animals given the inert substance, Bastie and colleagues reported in the Feb. 3 issue of Cell Metabolism.

“This is a new mechanism to help the body to burn extra energy,” Bastie said in a statement.

The Fyn kinase has previously been linked to energy use: animals with the enzyme blocked burn more fatty acids and are leaner than their normal littermates, Bastie and colleagues noted.

Those animals also had increased insulin sensitivity, the researchers said, but the absence of the enzyme did not block the normal anabolic processes of protein synthesis and muscle growth during the feeding cycle.

The findings suggested that drugs blocking the enzyme might have a significant effect on energy balance and weight, they theorized.

To test the idea, they turned to wild-type mice and a compound called SU6656, a known inhibitor of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, of which Fyn is a member.

The mice spent spent 48 hours getting used to a so-called metabolic chamber, which allows researchers to monitor energy intake and expenditure. Then the compound was administered via intraperitoneal injection.

Control animals got injections of an inert substance, the researchers said. The shots were given at the beginning of the light cycle, when the animals are least active.

Both groups showed identical carbohydrate use during the dark cycle (when they are most active) that preceded the injection.

After the injection, the control animals reduced energy use as their bodies switched to the normal lipid production seen during the light cycle.

The treated animals, on the other hand, continued to expend energy at a rate that was significantly greater (P<0.0098) than the controls, although there was no significant difference in physical activity.

Because mice eat 80% of their calories during the dark cycle, they have a daily pattern of weight loss and gain, Bastie and colleagues noted, so that 12 hours after the start of the light cycle — when they had been given the shots — their weight was lowest.

But the SU6656-treated mice had a 40% greater weight loss than the control group, a difference that was significant at P<0.003.

Lean mass was slightly reduced in all the animals, Bastie and colleagues said, but without significant differences between groups. On the other hand, fat mass was significantly reduced (P<0.05) in the SU6656-treated mice, they found.

The metabolic effect of the inhibitor appears to be specific to Fyn, because it had no effect on mice lacking the enzyme, the researchers noted.

Unfortunately, SU6656 itself isn't a good choice for clinical trials of the idea in humans, Bastie said, because the Fyn kinase affects the brain, as well as muscle and fat tissue.

“Our next goal,” she said, “is to design something extremely specific to muscle and adipose.”

Seroquel

February 6th, 2010 by thomassimpson1963

Sources: buy cheap Cialis Soft

Seroquel (generic name quetiapine fumarate) is a psychiatric medication used as an antipsychotic in the treatment of schizophrenia and, as recently approved by the FDA, as a mood stabilizer in the treatment of both depressive and manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. As with all medications, there are certain risks and side effects caused by taking Seroquel and these may vary depending upon the individual.

Based on my own personal experiences with Seroquel, the most common side effect is extreme sleepiness. This goes beyond the typical “drowsiness” side effect of things like over-the-counter allergy or cold medications. This is more of a “knock you out cold” lethargy. There's also a hangover effect that makes it almost impossible to get out of bed and get moving the next morning and a feeling of sluggishness throughout the day. Fortunately for a lot of people, including myself, that hangover effect goes away once your body adjusts to the medication which is typically a couple of weeks. After that passes, the Seroquel will continue to produce the drowsiness and functions as somewhat of a sedative or sleep aid for those taking it, especially at lower dosages (in the 25 mg to 200 mg range). Oftentimes a patient will be started on a low dose and work their way up to a manageable dose. During my own process of trial and error, I started out at 25 mg, went up to 300 mg which knocked me out for about 18 hours straight, and eventually settled on a 100 mg dosage taken every night. Others have gone to levels as high as 1800 mg without feeling any sedative effects from the drug at all.

According to Astra-Zeneca's Web site, the manufacturer of Seroquel, side effects can include dry mouth, dizziness, high blood sugar, weakness, constipation, abdominal pain, sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing, sore throat, weight gain, abnormal liver tests, and upset stomach. Of these, dry mouth, weight gain, and dizziness seem to be the most common although some of those tend to be temporary as well.

Some of the most extreme, and luckily rare, side effects are neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and tardive dyskinesia (TD). TD symptoms include uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue, or other parts of the body. NMS consists of symptoms such as a very high fever, rigid muscles, shaking, confusion, sweating, changes in pulse, heart rate, or blood pressure, or muscle pain and weakness. NMS is potentially fatal so any symptoms should be reported immediately.

For information about Seroquel, I would suggest checking the Astra-Zeneca Web site at www.seroquel.com in addition to discussing it with your physician or psychiatrist.

I get out of bed and the waves of depression almost knock me over. I want to give in and crawl back into the comfort of my covers.

I make my way to my computer and try to focus. The depression keeps crashing over me. I want to give up and go back to bed, but I know giving in isn’t an option.

I phone my husband, just to say out loud to someone, “I am soooo depressed.”

“Why?” he asks.

“No reason. Just chemical.”

And that is the curse with which I live — messed up brain chemistry.

Sure, I am stressed and sad about numerous things. But it isn’t situation that rocks me everyday as I sit down to face my to do list. It is chemical.

Like nausea in the first trimester, my depression simply is.

But want to know something even worse?

Anxiety is waiting inside me too.
Later in the day it will start burning inside my chest, racing my thoughts, stressing me out.

I will have a hard time staying calm when my ADHD, ODD son starts acting out. I will feel waves of panic as my daughter has fits of tics.

SO you ask — are you TAKING anything for all of this Janice???

Yes, the answer is yes. I just started with a new psychiatrist who is trying out a new medication for me. I have been on Paxil for years. I am still taking the Paxil — but adding Seroquel.

It is messy inside me right now as we play with the dosage. I am not sure about the Seroquel. Not sure at all. But, I will give it a bit more time I suppose.

It definitely is reducing my anxiety and evening out my mood swings. But I feel sedated and weak — exhausted trying to work and be creative.

Which brings me back to the title of this post, “If I tell you I am depressed, does it make you think less of me?”

Susan has written about her anxiety and panic attacks, (she is also on Paxil and Seroquel,) and I have written about my postpartum depression, but I still resist writing about my struggles.

I worry that people will read and judge me, that they will think I am weak and incapable of doing my job.

But I refuse to give into those selfish fears.

Those of us who struggle with depression and anxiety need to know we are not alone. We need to know that there are other strong, capable people out there who are also fighting the same battles.

And those who DON’T struggle with mental illness need to know that just because some of us battle it, doesn’t mean we don’t win. It doesn’t mean we are weak. In fact, we are strong. We fight every day.

So, while some who read this may look at me differently now, I need to write anyway.

Not only does someone else out there need to read this, but in writing it, I just beat back some of those waves and I am breathing a little easier…

YOUR TURN: Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? What was your first thought when you read the title of this post?

The Federal Drug Administration on Friday issued a warning to doctors that adolescents taking the drug olanzapine have an "increased potential" — in comparison with adults taking the new-generation antipsychotic drug — for weight gain and metabolic disturbances that could result in diabetes or elevated blood cholesterol levels.

"Clinicians should consider the potential long-term risks when prescribing to adolescents," the FDA said in a statement released Friday night. "In many cases, this may lead to prescribe other drugs first," the statement went on.

The agency has not approved the marketing of olanzapine — sold under the commercial name Zyprexa by the drug maker Eli Lilly — for use in children under 13 who are diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. But the medication, one of a class of psychiatric medications called the "atypical antipsychotics," is widely prescribed for young patients, despite growing evidence that call its safety profile into question for this population.

The warning comes in the wake of the October publication in the Journal of the American Medical Assn., in which a study showed that children and adolescents taking their first-ever course of Zyprexa gained, on average, more than 17 pounds over a 12-week period, as well as dramatic increases in triglycerides and cholesterol levels — all factors that put them at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. While two other antipsychotic drugs — Seroquel and Risperdal — were implicated in significant weight gain and metabolic changes, Zyprexa was found to carry the highest risks of all three.  

The FDA said that in cases where physicians opt to prescribe olanzapine, the drug should be part of a "comprehensive treatment program," which could include psychological, educational and social counseling as well as medication therapy.

Osteoporosis might seem like the lesser of the evils when it comes to your health, but this isn't usually the case. In fact, osteoporosis can lead to serious injury and even death because of complications from broken bones. Many men and women who suffer from osteoporosis avoid physical activity like the plague because they fear damaging their brittle bones, but some people, like Beverly Kimble, choose an active lifestyle despite their illness.

Every morning, Beverly Kimble wakes up to the sound of her radio alarm clock, gets dressed, eats a bagel or a bowl of cereal and heads out to the barn. Her six horses-each of them a prize-winning Thoroughbred from overseas-await her saddle and bridle from inside their 14X14 luxury stalls. This is a familiar routine for horseback riders worldwide as they prepare for competition, but Beverly Kimble is unique in the fact that showing her horses could very well land her in a wheel chair for the rest of her life.

THE DIAGNOSIS

“I found out I had osteoporosis when I was nineteen, which is incredibly young,” Kimble explains. “I broke my ankle in a fall and after my surgeon repaired the damage, he said that my bones were the softest he'd ever felt in his entire career.” She laughs: “I've always wanted to be the best at something, and now I am.”

Unfortunately, Kimble's story is not unique. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, more than 10 million people in the United States are afflicted with this bone disease, with approximately 8 million sufferers being women. In most cases, osteoporosis strikes after age fifty, but in some rare instances, it can present itself during the teenage years.

When Kimble's doctor first delivered her diagnosis, his recommendation was to stop riding horses altogether. Weight-bearing exercises (such as weight-lifting, jogging, hiking and stair-climbing) are considered beneficial for victims of osteoporosis, but horseback riding is generally considered too much of a risk.

“[My doctor] told me that the chances of breaking a bone were extremely high in the event of a fall, and I could wind up with permanent damage to my ankles or legs.” At the time, Kimble had been riding for more than thirteen years, and she wasn't about to quit. “I was willing to take the meds and work on load-bearing exercises, but I couldn't give up my dream just because I might break a bone.”

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

The major benefit of discovering that she had osteoporosis was the sudden realization that there were explanations for the aches and pains she experienced on a daily basis. It is often called the “Silent Disease” because symptoms are rare, but Kinble's case was sufficiently advanced to cause pain in her back and joints. “They told me that I'd cracked three vertebrae in my back, and I didn't even know it,” she says. “I'd been dealing with lower back pain for months and I always thought that riding was the cause.”

Despite her doctor's recommendations, Kimble went back to horseback riding as soon as her ankle healed. She was twenty years old and involved with the Texas A&M riding team, which she says was a great experience because her fellow riders were all supportive. She did, however, begin taking medications immediately to help strengthen her bones, which included a daily dose of Actonel, a common risedronate drug for osteoporosis patients, as well as a regimen of hormone therapy.

“I knew how important it was to preserve my health,” Kimble says, “but when you're in your early twenties and active on a regular basis, you feel almost invincible. I knew that I would have residual pain in my ankle and back forever, but quitting horseback riding would have sent me into a downward spiral of depression, which wouldn't have been healthy, either.”

TEN YEARS – TEN INJURIES

In the ten years following Kimble's diagnosis of osteoporosis, she broke a total of ten bones, including three ribs, one wrist, five vertebrae and a repeat fracture of her left ankle. It kept her front showing her horses as often as she would have liked, but she never stopped trying. In fact, she didn't stop riding at all with the wrist and vertebrae fractures. Instead, she wore braces and took pain relievers to allow her the freedom to ride as often as possible.

Four different physicians advised Kimble to give up horseback riding. They said she could teach riding lessons or work with them on the ground, but they couldn't stress enough that riding was indeed dangerous to her health. “They told me I'd regret it by the time I'm 40, and they're probably right,” she laments. “But right now, I just don't care.”

CONSTANT MAINTENANCE

Horses require constant maintenance to be kept in prime condition for showing. They need optimum feed with plenty of proteins and carbohydrates; hay rich in fiber and nutrients; supplements to strengthen their hoof walls and ease the strain of exercise. Kimble is now discovering that osteoporosis sufferers require just as much maintenance to continue active lifestyles.

“I take Actonel in the mornings, and I have to stay upright for thirty minutes afterward without eating anything,” she says. “Both the Actonel and the estrogen have to be taken at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.”

In addition to her medication, Kimble also engages in 45 minutes of weight-bearing exercises each day. “I get bored with one type of exercise, so I try to mix it up. Jogging on Monday, weight-lifting on Tuesday, running the stairs on Wednesday, and so on.” She tries to fit in those exercises around her daily rides, which include her six horses, plus a few she has in training at her farm.

Every six months, her doctor orders a bone mineral scan (BMS), which measures the densities of various bones in the body. It is the best way to keep abreast of her progress as she continues to battle against osteoporosis and to monitor the effectiveness of her medications.

“One of the routine questions the technicians always ask before I have the scan is, 'How many bones have you broken since age 45?'” She laughs. “I always have to remind them that I'm 31, so the question doesn't really apply.”

AGAINST ALL ODDS

Despite Kimble's constant battle with osteoporosis, she has succeeded admirably in her sport. She is currently one of the select few who are in the running for the U.S. Olympic Equestrian Team, and she's won hundreds of blue ribbons on her horses and those she trains.

“Everyone says that osteoporosis much be such a drag in my sport, but because I have to do the exercises in addition to riding, I'm in far better shape than I ever would have been otherwise,” she admits. And although her doctors all warned her against continuing her horseback riding career, her efforts to keep osteoporosis under control have resulted in a startling increase in her bone density since she was first diagnosed.

She currently resides in Aiken, S.C., where she trains her six show horses and works with countless others belonging to other equestrians in the area. Her own farm, which is called Blue Fox Equestrian Center, is a popular retreat for east coast riders who venture south during the winter show season.

Kimble is also an active member of the Bone Health Advocacy Network, which helps to raise awareness of osteoporosis and convince legislators to support bone density testing among target age groups.

KIMBLE'S ADVICE

If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis, Kimble suggests that you follow your doctor's recommendations to the “T”. “I continued riding against medical advice, which isn't something that I'd suggest to anyone else. You know your own threshold better than your doctor, so make decisions based on your own body, and not someone else's.”

She also suggests that you inform your friends and family about this disorder and convince senior citizens to get tested as quickly as possible.
