Navy frees 28 kidnapped oil workers in Nigeria

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) ? Nigeria's navy says it has found 28 Nigerian kidnapped oil workers who had been working for a Chinese petroleum company in the West African nation's oil-rich southern delta.

Commodore Kabir Aliyu said Monday that authorities found the Sinopec Corp. workers in an abandoned waterside camp in Cross River state. He said gunmen kidnapped the oil workers Thursday, took them to a camp and fled before authorities arrived there Friday.

Foreign oil companies have pumped oil out of the delta for more than 50 years. Despite the billions of dollars flowing to Nigeria's government, many in this region of creeks and mangroves remain desperately poor.

Militants and opportunistic criminals have previously kidnapped local and foreign workers in the area.

Can You Learn While You're Asleep?

Research suggests basic forms of learning are possible while snoozing.

If you're a student, you may have harbored the fantasy of learning lessons while you sleep. Who wouldn't want to stick on a pair of headphones, grab some shut-eye with a lesson about, say, Chinese history playing in his ears ? and wake up with newly acquired knowledge of the Ming Dynasty?

Sadly, it doesn't work. The history lesson either keeps you from going to sleep, or it doesn't ? in which case you don't learn it.

But researchers may have taken the first baby step to making the fantasy come true: In an unusual experiment published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers Anat Arzi, Ilana Hairston and others showed that people are capable of learning simple lessons while fast asleep.

?

The researchers sprayed volunteers with pleasant and unpleasant smells while they were fast asleep. Exactly like people who are awake, the sleeping volunteers took bigger breaths when there was a pleasant smell and a smaller breath when there was an unpleasant smell.

The researchers also paired each kind of smell with a particular sound. After repeated pairings of, say, a pleasant smell with a high-pitched beep, the researchers played the high-pitched beep without the smell: They found the volunteers took a big gulp of air. At least subconsciously, in other words, they were expecting the pleasant smell.

The researchers similarly paired an unpleasant smell ? rotting fish ? with another kind of tone. After repeated pairings, the tone alone caused the volunteers to take a smaller breath.

The phenomenon is known as conditioning, a simple form of learning made famous by Ivan Pavlov and his dog.

When the volunteers woke up, the researchers played the different tones to them. They found that the high-pitched beep caused the volunteers to take a big breath and the low-pitched beep caused the volunteers to take a small breath.

In other words, the conditioning lesson learned while the volunteers were asleep stayed with them after they awoke. Interestingly, the volunteers had no conscious recollection of having learned anything while they were sleeping.

Hairston said the research could help unlock the effects that sleep has on different brain processes. It's been known for a while that a nap can help cement things you've learned; Hairston said the sleep mechanisms that consolidate knowledge may explain why volunteers in the current experiment were able to bring what they learned during sleep into waking hours.

Practical applications of the conditioning technique are still far off, of course. But speculating about potential future uses, Hairston said: "A medical student can learn a list of body organs. You can perhaps pair different organs with smells. So you pair the thalamus with the smell of lemon, and the hippothalamus with the smell of orange blossom. When you wake up, you will have a better recollection of that list!"

Revamped Dodgers can't handle Marlins

Associated Press Sports

updated 9:01 p.m. ET Aug. 26, 2012

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Giancarlo Stanton appears to have no problem with the dimensions of Dodger Stadium, which isn't exactly a home run haven.

The power-hitting right fielder made Chavez Ravine his personal launching pad this weekend, homering for the third straight game as the Miami Marlins beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Sunday.

Stanton drove a first-pitch fastball from Aaron Harang over the center-field wall in the fourth inning for his 29th homer, tying it at 1.

It was his eighth homer during the Marlins' 5-6 road trip. The previous club record for homers on a single trip was six by Miguel Cabrera (10 games), Mike Lowell (12 games) and Preston Wilson (13 games).

"He's got so much power, it's ridiculous," winning pitcher Mark Buehrle said. "Every time he hits the ball, it has a chance of going out. I mean, he has 29 home runs right now - and he's missed a month and a half. So it's kind of scary when you think about what he could have done if he was healthy all year."

The 22-year-old Stanton, who was born in nearby Panorama City and played his high school ball in Sherman Oaks, had 22 homers as a rookie in 2010 and 34 last season. He is batting .326 over his last 12 games with 14 RBIs, but it's those 15 strikeouts during that stretch that have kept him humble.

"I've put some good swings on mistakes that were out over the plate," Stanton said. "But the way I've been making outs, I don't think that I'm on any kind of a roll. I don't set goals for myself. I just try to be the best I can be, and then all the numbers will come. But don't be barking off, `I'm going to do this or that."'

Rob Brantly gave Miami the lead for good with his first major league homer, and the Marlins also got long balls from Jose Reyes and Carlos Lee.

Buehrle (12-11) won his third straight start, allowing a run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings with four strikeouts and three walks. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth by retiring Hanley Ramirez on a popup and Andre Ethier on a grounder with the Marlins holding a 3-1 lead.

Brantly had put the Marlins ahead in the top half with a two-run shot.

"It seems that every time we've scored a run or two, I go out there and give back at least one. So that was a big moment in the game," Buehrle said. "I got in a bunch of jams today that I usually don't pitch out of.

"I was joking around with somebody and saying, `Usually, when a guy gets on third base with less than two outs, just let him score and start over fresh,' because a lot of times the other team puts the ball in play and scores a run. But my job is to battle and make pitches when I need to," Buehrle said.

Ethier singled home a run in the seventh, but was called out for interference moments later after making incidental contact with Lee at first base on a popup by Luis Cruz that was dropped by catcher Brantly just inside the first base line. Cruz, sent back to the plate on the dead ball following a lengthy discussion among the umpires, flied out to end the inning.

The Marlins made it 4-2 in the eighth when Ramirez misplayed Bryan Petersen's two-out grounder to shortstop with the bases loaded for an error. Steve Cishek retired new Dodgers slugger Adrian Gonzalez with the bases loaded to end the eighth, then pitched a hitless ninth for his 11th save in 14 chances.

Reyes and Lee had homered back-to-back against rookie Shawn Tolleson in the top of the ninth.

Harang (9-8) allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. The homers by Stanton and Brantly increased the total allowed this season by the right-hander to 14. He gave up an average of 24.9 home runs over the previous eight seasons - including 35 in 2008 with Cincinnati.

"Early on I was able to locate my fastball and I felt like I was able to mix up a lot of my pitches," Harang said. "The pitch to Brantly was supposed to be a backdoor cutter, that stayed out over the middle. He's another young, aggressive hitter who swung at the first pitch."

Ethier was called out on strikes by Tony Randazzo in the first after hitting safely in each of his previous 10 plate appearances, and ended up tied with Ed Konetchy for the franchise record for consecutive at-bats with a hit. Konetchy did it in 1919.

Ethier was in an 0-for-18 drought before starting his string of hits. Only one player since 1952 has had hits in 11 consecutive at-bats - Bernie Williams in 2002 with the Yankees. The major league record is 12, by Johnny Kling (1902 Cubs), Pinky Higgins (1938 Red Sox) and Walt Dropo (1952 Tigers).

NOTES: Brantly hit 11 home runs in 980 at-bats during his 262-game minor league career. The Marlins obtained him in a trade with Detroit on July 23. ... The Dodgers announced before the game that Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully will be back behind the microphone next season, his 64th with the club. ... Ramirez, acquired by the Dodgers in a trade with the Marlins on July 25 for RHP Nathan Eovaldi, was 1 for 12 with six strikeouts in the series. The only hit was a two-run homer off Eovaldi on Friday night in an 11-4 Dodgers victory.

Carlson travel and hospitality names new CEO - Washington Examiner

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ? Global hospitality and travel company Carlson on Sunday named Trudy Rautio as its new president and CEO, making her just the fifth chief executive in the 74-year history of the family owned company whose brands include Radisson hotels , T.G.I. Friday's restaurants and Carlson Wagonlit Travel.

Rautio has been a senior executive at Minnetonka-based Carlson for 15 years. For the past eight years, she's been executive vice president and chief financial and administrative officer. She replaces Hubert Joly, who had been president and CEO since 2008.

In an interview with The Associated Press, board chair Marilyn Carlson Nelson said Joly, a French citizen, received "an exciting offer at a public company" but declined to name it or say where it's based. She also called Rautio "an obvious choice" to succeed him.

"Trudy is highly respected. She's probably the most effective go-to person in the company," Nelson said.

Joly was not asked to leave, Nelson said.

"Hubert made a significant difference," she said. "He was the first nonfamily CEO (of Carlson). He took over in 2008, which was the beginning of a very difficult financial time, so we are very grateful for his stewarding the company through difficult times."

Carlson, formerly named Carlson Companies, operates in more than 150 countries, with more than 1,300 hotels and more than 900 restaurants. Its brands employ more than 170,000 people. Its hotels include Radisson Hotels & Resorts, Country Inns & Suites by Carlson, Regent Hotels & Resorts, Park Plaza Hotels & Resorts and Park Inn. The company reported $38 billion in system-wide revenues in 2011, up 13 percent from 2010, and $4.5 billion in company revenue, sales that show up on its own financial statements, up $4.5 billion from 2010.

Rautio played an important role in developing Carlson's "Ambition 2015" five-year strategy for growing the company's market share in each of its business lines despite the flat global market, Nelson said. She said the company sees Rautio as someone who can not only execute the current plan but lead the company beyond 2015.

"We feel that we won't miss a beat. ... She has the understanding of our business models and our competitors that will allow her to lead our team in developing the subsequent five-year plan," Nelson said.

Rautio, a graduate of Bemidji State University with an MBA from the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities, becomes Carlson's second female president and chief executive. Nelson was the first. Her father, Curtis L. Carlson, founded the company as the Gold Bond trading stamp company and grew it into a global conglomerate.

Cut out the lame accusations

The disconcerting state of affairs with Major League Soccer referees looks like this: A man with a whistle and set of disciplinary cards entering any MLS ground is controversy and acrimony waiting to happen.

This is what Major League Soccer and the U.S. Soccer federation has created through years of inattention to its lesser refereeing condition; We all know so, and today it is what it is.

But here?s something related that really, seriously needs to stop: This insinuation that referees are making mistakes because they covet the spotlight.

It?s degrading. It?s lame. It reeks of entitlement. And it doesn?t even make sense.

And yet, we keep hearing it. (In part because MLS has refused to deal with it recently, providing tacit approval in that way.)

This is what D.C. United president Kevin Payne said to the Washington Post about referee Mark Geiger after Sunday?s cascade of wackiness at RFK.

He had a very poor night, not just on one call but on multiple calls. .?.?. The call on the penalty is like a high school call. .?.?. He is just back from the Olympics. He likes to be on NBC Sports apparently. He was on it a lot today.?

(MORE: recapping the final, absurd 10 minutes Sunday at RFK)

The game was on NBC Sports Network. The decision in question here was Hamdi Salihi?s encroachment on Dwayne De Rosario?s late penalty kick. (By the way, this is not a rare decision. It?s not common, but it has been called in similar situations this year, just about month ago, in fact, when the league?s leading scorer was ordered to take a re-kick.)

And yet, this from United coach Ben Olsen, also from the Washington Post:

It?s the Geiger show. He wants to make a big call to change games. It?s what they do.

?Coming back from the Olympics, it was his show tonight. It?s not about the players.?

That?s just wrong. Period.

If they want to proclaim that a referee got it wrong, fine. If a coach or official insists that MLS refereeing has so very much room for improvement, I won?t argue. Heck, I?ll put their words in the same bold type as the misguided sentiment above. I?ll have their back on that one.

But I never buy any bluster suggesting referees intentionally favor one team over another, and I wince every time I hear about referees wanting to be ?stars of the show.?

David Beckham set the precedent on that one, saying similar things about referee Jair Maruffo in May. Major League Soccer provided tacit approval of this sentiment by meekly declining to fine or suspend Beckham, an action that would have incurred AEG wrath.

Honestly, I don?t rate Maruffo very highly as an MLS referee. But I adjudge him a poor official because he doesn?t take proper control of matches and too frequently refuses to call fouls. So I might call him an inferior referee at the professional level ? but not an attention-seeking narcissist.

We have athletes and actors for that.

Is there some ego involved with refereeing? Sure.

But mistakes are mistakes. Geiger, by the way, wasn?t all that bad Sunday. I see worse every weekend in MLS.

Affiliate Referral Programs Generate Leads And Deliver Revenue ...

?

Affiliate referral programs can be both a source of new business leads and incoming revenue if you have an existing customer base that?s ready to try your product or service recommendations. Deciding to participate in affiliate referral programs is not an easy one for most small business owners as there are many pros and cons to consider. It?s important as a business owner to thoroughly evaluate all parts of an affiliate referral program before starting to market the opportunity to businesses and individuals that may want to participate.

The following are key points to keep in mind when deciding whether an affiliate referral program is the right strategy for your business.

Pros:

- Develop a sales force of individuals that are willing to market your products and services

- Increase brand awareness in your industry through actions taken by participating affiliate referral partners

- Quickly expand market reach, including internationally

- Partner with affiliate marketing companies like Commission Junction for online marketing.

- Develop tiered referral commissions to reward top affiliate partners to increase motivation of sales force

- Affiliate referral programs can be started and stopped with fewer issues than formal business partnerships

Cons:

- Loss of control over marketing of products or services

- Potential for affiliate to go off message when selling products or services resulting in an over promise under deliver situation that no business owner enjoys resolving.

- Pay referral commission between 10% ? 50%

- Difficult to gauge the potential success a new partner will have and the impact incurred from an increase in sales, product shipments, customer service requests

If your business sells a physical product, the pros far outweigh the cons and your business will likely gain tremendously from evaluating and implementing this marketing strategy. Service based businesses however; should consider the affiliate model more carefully. Be cautious not to move forward too quickly as the costs associated with referral fees can be high and the program could place an unexpected strain on your existing support team they are not equipped to handle if you?ve not taken the time to set it up properly.

Overall affiliate referral programs can be an excellent method to educate the market and industry at large about your business and the products or services you offer. Most individuals and businesses making money from affiliate programs will have an excellent online marketing presence they can leverage when promoting and selling your offerings.

Affiliate referrals are a good way to get your business engaged with other companies in your industry that have existing customer bases and are marketing to your target customers. The best participants in your business affiliate referral program may ultimately become your strongest channel to new customers which makes this a strategy worth considering.

Six Kinds of Graphics a Business Should Outsource to a Printing ...

Business owners have to spend endless hours attending to the many facets of their businesses. If something can be outsourced, it can sometimes be a great help that can free an entrepreneur up to focus on other important tasks.

One thing that can certainly be outsourced is a company?s graphics and printing needs. Below is a list of a few of the different kinds of graphics that can be outsourced to a local printing company.

?

?

1. Product Packaging Design

Developing a new product is simply difficult enough on its own. This includes market research, the development of prototypes and endless testing. However, sometimes developing the correct packaging for a product can be just as difficult. This is why outsourcing product packing design to a printing company is a wise idea. It can save time and resources that should be focused on the product itself.

2. Trade Show Exhibit Graphics

Attending trade shows is a lot of work. It requires manpower, training and attractive exhibit graphics to impress possible investors. However, the construction of exhibit graphics can be very time consuming. This time would probably be better spent training staff on how to interact with potential clients at the trade show. Outsourcing the design of trade show exhibit graphics can certainly free up a lot of time and resources.

3. Wall Displays

Wall graphics are another thing that many companies needs. This is especially the case for stores and restaurants that actual patrons will be visiting. You don?t want to have bare walls. However, paying for the painting of murals can be quite expensive. One alternative is to pay for wall graphics instead. These can be printed as vinyl graphics that can be later added to a wall. Better yet, vinyl wall graphics are very easy to install and uninstall.

4. T-Shirt Digital Printing

Another thing many businesses need is t-shirts. T-shirts make a very simple yet effective uniform for employees to wear. This is especially the case for places like restaurants and tourist attractions. Better yet, the same t-shirts can also be sold as souvenirs to customers at a hefty profit. All a business has to do is order some from a digital printing company.

5. Vehicle Wraps

Another option is vinyl graphics for vehicles. These are often referred to as ?car wraps.? They come in the form of a thin vinyl material that can be printed on in high resolution and then placed onto the body of a car or truck. Such a vehicle wrap appears almost like a new paintjob. They are certainly a great way to advertise a business.

6. Personalized Posters

Another great option for outsourcing is personalized posters. This is especially a good idea if a business has a lot of locations. These posters can be used to advertise new promotions and sales to customers. Due to the sheer amount of posters and graphics a single business may need to announce different programs and promotions during the year, having a long term relationship with a printing company is very important.

Healthy Weight Loss Products: The Better ... - Weight Loss Diets Blog

Indulgences, the proliferation of fast-food chains and busy and simple life-styles have all contributed greatly to the uncontrollable problem of unhealthy weight gain. Society in addition has outlined beauty to being malnourished and thin. It is no surprise that ladies from all ages are all clamouring for a magical formula which should instantly make them lose weight. Producers of weight loss products, regardless of the efficiency of the medicine, weight loss supplements, protein powder or magic potion, have made a fortune on sales.

Indeed, plenty of girls have fallen victim to the promises and miraculous declarations of some unfair retailers and businessmen. Taking weight loss products without initially knowing the contents of the product and seeing a doctor can be a complete waste of money. In worst cases, patients can suffer because of the side-effects of the drugs. This doesn?t mean that we should stop taking measures to attain a more ideal weight however. Surplus kilos in the body are threatening to our health, so we have to try our best to maintain our right body mass index.

Fortunately , there are other options that will help us lose weight more naturally. It would help if you talk to an approved dietician for nutrition management. They would design nutrition programs acceptable to each patient. Professional nutritionists would know precisely what you need and will offer you proven effective and healthy weight management products and nutritional supplements. They can also counsel fitness professionals that may lead you on your complete weight loss program.

We also have to remember that we didn?t gain our present weight in a week or in a month. It potentially took years of eating in fast-food bistros and watching TV before we expanded to what we are now. Hence do not be shocked and deterred if losing those self same pounds might also take you that much time.

No spellbinding weight reduction products can straight away banish the fat. However with correct weight management, repeated exercise and limiting yourself to health and nutritional products, a healthy body can?t be that far off.

W.Va. embraces ancient sport of Irish road bowling

In an Aug. 4, 2012, David Powell, membership director for the West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Association, talks about the sport during a break in the action at the North American Region Finals at Coopers Rock State Forest near Bruceton Mills, W.Va. (AP Photo/Vicki Smith)

(AP) ? It sounds as if it ought to be a drinking game: Grown men and women hurl a 2-pound cannonball as far as they can down a paved country road, each aiming to finish the 1.5-mile, chalk line "course" with the fewest throws.

But in some circles, Irish road bowling is serious business.

Players and coaches ? or players who think they're coaches ? stand in the road as a competitor pauses, studying the slope and the curves before taking a few running steps and pitching the ball underhand, releasing it just before his velocity carries him across the starting line. The ball rolls and the crowd parts, screaming, leaning, gesturing and otherwise willing the iron and steel sphere to stick to the pavement.

When the roll is good, they pump their fists and bellow cheers that echo through the forest. When it's bad, the hurler hears silence or a few noticeably lower-volume words of encouragement.

"Irish road bowling is the greatest sport you haven't heard of," says Dave Powell, membership director and spokesman for the West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Association.

Road bowling is one of the oldest sports in the world, and one of the easiest and cheapest to get into. It requires no uniform and no gear, save for a 28-ounce cannonball, or "bowl," that the West Virginia group will rent for $5 per day. Play occurs on paved road but seldom stops traffic. The action merely resumes after vehicles pass. Only during the largest competitions are roads closed to motorists.

The sport originated in Ireland and is played primarily in five counties there ? Cork, Armagh, Louth, Mayo and Wexford ? where it's known as "Irish Long Bullets." Crowds of spectators can number in the thousands, the masses filling the road but parting magically as the bowl begins to roll. There, the game is played every night of the week and provides regular entertainment and income for gamblers, with tens of thousands of dollars routinely and legally changing hands.

Janet O'Mahoney, 42, of Boston, is the wife of two-time All-Ireland champion Florrie O'Mahoney. She's traveled to his home country more than 20 times to watch some 150 matches, called "scores."

The biggest counties have the best players "because they're at it constantly," she says, but even children under 12 compete.

"Here, obviously it's a lot smaller and there are less people," she says, "but as sportsmanship goes, it's the same."

In West Virginia, road bowling was first taken up by the Lewis County town of Ireland during the 1995 Irish Spring Festival. The state association has been holding tournaments ever since, mainly at festivals and fairs. Last year, about 1,000 people played, though only 25-30 are what Powell calls "hard-core" regular competitors.

Powell, a photo and film researcher who grew up near Salem and now lives in Washington, D.C., says road bowling can be "a real fun roll-and-stroll for families," but the tone was "extremely serious" when teams from Boston, New York and North Carolina turned out for the early August North American Region Finals at Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia.

Winners in some classes advance to the All-Ireland finals, or world championships, this September.

Unlike the Boston club, whose members live within an hour of each other and can play twice a week, the West Virginia players are far-flung and have far less time to play together and practice.

"Road bowling really requires a combination of coordination and speed," Powell says. "If you're beautifully accurate but you don't have the speed, you're not going to be able to excel. If you're really strong and fast, and you don't have the accuracy, you're going to be in the ditch too quickly."

Some throws are as long as 300 yards, a distance determined by where the bowl comes to rest, not where it leaves the road. And it almost always leaves the road.

In West Virginia, the longest shot on record is a 422-yard roll at the 2001 Irish Spring Festival.

The state association launched a competitive singles league last year, and interest has been growing among spectators and players. The next competition is Aug. 18 at the Doddridge County Fair in West Union, and events are scheduled through Nov. 4, when the season wraps up at Stonewall Resort in Roanoke.

"Anyone who lives in the state of West Virginia can get to one of our events in about an hour," Powell says. The biggest are the Irish Spring Festival in March and an October tournament at Holly River State Park.

Carl George of Buckhannon says road bowling is harder than it looks, but anyone can do it.

"It's a lot of fun, a lot of exercise, and it doesn't cost much," he says. "It's really a good time."

Indispensable Bridges for Leadership ? ctkblog

By?Brian Steele

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is an engineering marvel, masterpiece of design, and just plain gorgeous. As a leader, when you have great relationships with people, these are no less spectacular feats of bridge building.

In his essential primer on leadership, ?The Servant?, ?James C. Hunter clearly shows how relationships are vital to accomplishing tasks as a leader. In fact, leadership without relationship is just as futile as relationships without accomplishments in leadership.

Every relationship you have as a leader in your business, family, or ministry can be viewed as a bridge in one of three stages:

? Bridge Building. Bridges don?t build themselves. They require hard work, time, investment, endurance, and being intentional. In your leadership, what are the new bridges that you need to build? Where is the separation between people on your team? Who are the new people you need to reach to in order to span from where you are to where the team needs to get? Identifying the new bridges to be built is an opportunity for your organization to grow. But building requires planning, hard work and commitment.

? Bridge Maintaining. Bridges don?t maintain themselves. The Golden Gate Bridge is continually being painted, year round from one end to the other, then starting over. Why? With time and the caustic sea environment, the Golden Gate will decay and eventually fail without a commitment and perseverance in regular maintenance. Same with relationships. Great friends can drift apart, great marriages slowly dissolve, great churches lose the effectiveness in building the kingdom. Relationships with team members will deteriorate unless there is a commitment to maintain the connection. On your team, who haven?t you spoken with for a while? Who haven?t you checked in with? Whose quarterly goals and performance haven?t you reviewed in over a year? What relationships with your team members have drifted? More importantly, why? Why are they avoiding you or you avoiding them? Deferred maintenance slowly but surely dooms relationships.

? Bridge Burning. Fires don?t put themselves out. When a minor bridge fire isn?t immediately put out, it can spread and eventually compromise the whole structure. Minor problems between team members can quickly spread and threaten the entire organization if not addressed. A coworker told me, ?Bad news does not improve with age.? If there is an unaddressed issue of performance or failure to meet standards, the issues can grow to conflagration proportions. Your inaction as a leader will be seen as either indifference or weakness, both of which add fuel. Fires should be immediately put out. Problems need to be immediately addressed so that the relationships and organization doesn?t go down in flames.

Successful relationships are strong bridges and essential to successful leadership. Take 15 minutes to make an inventory of the relationships in your life. What bridge needs building? Maintenance? What bridge is burning right now?

Leave a comment to let us know your successes and challenges.

Children's Health and Fitness - Len Saunders

From Bostinno?..

It?s raining out, sure, but that won?t stop you from your daily run will it? Of course not, because you live in Massachusetts, the state with the third lowest obesity rate in the country. It?s true that more than a third of Americans (35.7%) are obese, but according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate in Massachusetts is only 22.7%, behind only Hawaii (21.8%) and Colorado (20.7%).

The data, reflective of the United States in 2011, shows that Massachusetts only got better since 2010, when we were still pretty fit, but not within the top 5. Don?t pat yourself on the back too quickly because the study adds that numbers are incomparable given the fact that criteria for accumulating data had changed. So maybe we got fatter?

I wonder if they?re just becoming increasingly loose with their definition of the word ?obesity,? the way we get loose with our belts.

For comparison?s sake, the fattest state, with an obesity rate of 34.9%, was Mississippi. The criteria for measuring might have changed and made comparing statistics year over year a moot point, but don?t tell Mississippi. This is their sixth straight year in a row as the fattest state, officially cementing itself as the greatest dynasty in the history of deep fried disappointment.

Netflix to launch streaming service in Nordic countries

(Reuters) - Netflix Inc will launch its video streaming service in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland before the end of the year, the company said in a statement.

Netflix's Nordic push comes after its Europe debut earlier this year with launches in the United Kingdom and Ireland. However, the movie rental and video streaming company's move to expand globally has taken a toll on its profitability.

In an earnings call last month, Chief Executive Reed Hastings said the company would lose money in the fourth quarter as it expanded to a new market.

It had 3.6 million international streaming subscribers at the end of the second quarter and had services in Latin America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, apart from the United States and Canada.

The company did not give a specific launch date or the expected pricing for its services in the Scandinavian countries.

Netflix shares were up 34 cents in premarket trading. They had closed at $61.76 on Tuesday on the Nasdaq.

Internet searches cited in Calif. prof arson case

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) ? A university professor who wrote emails outlining a graphic plan to attack a California high school had been searching for information online about guns and fertilizer used in bombs in the months before he was arrested on arson charges, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

University of California, Irvine pharmaceutical sciences professor Rainer Reinscheid conducted as many as 60 such Internet searches on his home computer since March, after his teenage son committed suicide, Orange County deputy district attorney Andrew Katz told reporters after a brief hearing in the case.

The searches raised concerns by authorities that Reinscheid might follow through on plans laid out in the emails to attack the high school where his son had been disciplined before his death. Reinscheid wrote that he would shoot at least 200 students and administrators, commit sexual assaults and burn down the school before killing himself, Katz said.

Prosecutors have not charged the 48-year-old professor with making threats contained in the emails because the messages were private communications and were not sent to alleged targets, Katz said. Still, prosecutors have had him held without bail because of the messages.

"The additional searches on the computer ... strengthens the idea that he is following through on the threats that he made in the emails that were previously discovered, and that those threats should be taken seriously," Katz told reporters after the brief appearance by Reinscheid in Superior Court in Newport Beach.

An amended complaint filed Wednesday charged Reinscheid with eight counts of arson and one count of attempted arson involving a series of small fires at University High School in Irvine, the park where his 14-year-old son hanged himself, and the home of a school administrator who had disciplined the boy for allegedly stealing from the school store.

Reinscheid ? who squinted at the audience Wednesday from inside a courtroom holding cage ? is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 15.

After the hearing, defense attorney Ron Cordova told the Orange County Register that the emails ? which were addressed by Reinscheid to himself and his wife in April ? were a despondent man's musings about six weeks after his son's body was found.

"I will say this is not Aurora, Colo., this is not Tuscon, Ariz., this is not Oak Creek, Wis., " Cordova told the newspaper. "This was a time of particular anguish and mental suffering for Dr. Reinscheid."

Phone messages left for Cordova by The Associated Press were not immediately returned.

Reinscheid, a German citizen, was arrested at his home in Irvine on July 24. When police searched his home and cell phone, they found the email messages describing a plan to buy a dozen machine guns and attack the school that he blamed for the death of his son, Claas Stubbe.

An email message sent by the AP to Reinscheid's wife Wendy was not immediately returned. She obtained a temporary restraining order against Reinscheid in 2010 after he allegedly pushed her against a wall and grabbed her neck to choke her, family court records show. The order expired when she failed to appear in court.

His previous wife Doerte Stubbe ? the mother of Claas ? filed papers during divorce proceedings saying she called police after Reinscheid pushed her and put his hand around her neck in 2003. She told police she didn't need their help when they arrived because she was afraid to have him arrested, according to papers filed in Orange County's family court.

Reinscheid has been at UC Irvine for about a dozen years and rode his bike to work every day from his house on campus. His research included studying molecular pharmacology and psychiatric disorders, including studies of schizophrenia, stress, emotional behavior and sleep, according to the school's website.

He had requested a leave of absence from UCI, according to a police report.
