Aside from regular academic classes and sessions with staff therapists, kids participate in simple exercise routines like walking 10,000 steps (5 miles) each day. The school's weight-loss program was designed by Northwestern University Medical Center professor Daniel Kirschenbaum, who used to run a number of clinical obesity programs in Chicago-area hospitals. Students are served three perfectly proportioned meals a day and are asked to note everything they eat in a journal. Calorie and fat counts are displayed on a whiteboard in Wellspring's cafeteria, making it easy for kids to copy them down. The diet, which...
Last September, Working Mother magazine named Harvard University one of America’s one hundred best employers for moms who work, citing a commitment to flexible scheduling, the advancement of women within the university and an array of options for child care. Editor-in-Chief Jill Kirschenbaum also claimed that her magazine’s handpicked hundred were continuing to increase benefits for women, despite the flagging economy. So why, in the past year, has Harvard laid off more than 200 clerical workers, an arm of the university’s workforce largely composed of women, and drawn...
...mouth. But experts increasingly believe physiological factors play the largest role. Nicotine, found in tobacco, speeds up physiological functions, especially the rate at which the body metabolizes food. "Though people will tell you they smoke to relax, in reality, they're all charged up," says psychologist Daniel Kirschenbaum of Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital. A smoker's heart rate, for instance, averages 84 beats a minute, compared with 72 beats for a nonsmoker. When smoking stops, metabolism slows down, food is burned more slowly and the pounds can start piling on. Research by psychologist Richard Keesey at the University...
Will the CDC study discourage smokers from snuffing the habit? If so, this would be a terrible mistake, says Kirschenbaum, who adds that the health risk of smoking a pack and a half to two packs a day "is equal to carrying 60 to 80 extra pounds in body weight." Smoking, which leads to 400,000 U.S. deaths a year, "is about the most dangerous thing a person can do," affirms Tausz. "I'd rather see someone be a few pounds heavier and a nonsmoker, than smoke and be skinny." No doctor would disagree, but try telling that...
...Jules Kirschenbaum, 32, and his Latvian-born wife, Cornelis Ruhtenberg, had both always painted realistically, though she once tried abstraction ("It seemed awfully easy"). Painter Ruhtenberg likes to show "figures against space, to get figures against a flat background without making perspective." In Potiphar's Wife (see overleaf), the running man balances the seated figure: "The problem was to have a contained picture, yet have movement." In Kirschenbaum's Sleeping Figures, the problem was to achieve "the dreamlike qualities of everything becoming different yet clear." The fact that everything in the lush arabesque is not really clear produces...
