...think there's very suggestive evidence from the Bogalusa Heart Study to show that childhood obesity is related not just to weight, but also to poor health in adulthood. When the first children in the study became older adolescents, particularly when they began driving, there were some deaths, due to suicide, homicide and accidents, so we were able to look at the amount of atherosclerosis in their coronary arteries and aorta. And we published our first paper on this in the mid '80s. It was certainly the first paper to show that high levels of lipids - and obesity - were related...
...rule, and not the exception. Administrators validate this restriction by pointing out that few weekends have more events than would be allowed under the new restriction, but not having more events in the future because we didn’t have them in the past is a poor policy that looks backwards and not forwards. University Hall should approach student events in the role of facilitator and legal protector of the undergraduate’s safety, not as a parental enforcer of arbitrary limitations.The second objectionable suggestion of the draft report is the elimination of the online event registration system...

Using technological developments to bypass ethical restrictions sets a poor precedent. At best it’s a blithe disregard for the spirit of the law, with an overemphasis on the letter of the law. At worst it smacks of hypocrisy. After all, practicing what you preach and genetically engineering a way to make your unfavorable practices kosher...
...contrast, both Democratic candidates have focused more of their policy prescriptions on measures to provide direct government support for the poor, including tax credits targeted for low-income workers, new spending on early childhood education, a higher minimum wage, and health insurance options available to all Americans. Obama and Clinton say they would pay for these plans by allowing President Bush's tax cuts to expire, and possibly raising the Capital Gains tax, moves that would have a greater impact on the wealthy than the poor...
Third, we urgently need to weatherproof the world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond--which collects rainwater to be used for emergency irrigation in a dry spell--can make the difference between a bountiful crop and a famine. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise...
