...Among the points made by speaker Dr. William Dietz of the CDC was that while 30% of American adults are now obese, the numbers are even worse for certain segments of the population. Among Mexican-American women, he said, the figure was 40%; among African-American women, it's 50%. These figures were more than enough to get the conversation started...
...obligation to their employees. If workers were given an opportunity to exercise during the day, Thompson believes they would not only be healthier, but they would also be more productive. One example of a proactive organization is the CDC. The CDC "is trying to become a model worksite," says Dietz. The company has improved stairways to encourage walking and is even offering its 1500 employees an onsite garden market so they can easily access fresh fruits and vegetables...
...Seiler did fake her abduction, she wouldn't be the first. But false criminal reports that aren't motivated by money or revenge are rare, according to forensic psychiatrist Park Dietz, who knows of roughly 50 U.S. cases in the past 20 years.

The grand jury found her claims to be untrue. Dietz coined the term factitious victimization...

The cost of a prolonged engagement may be why half said the U.S. should stay in Iraq only as long as it takes to stabilize the country rather than undertake the much lengthier task...
Again and again in interviews last week, Americans told TIME that their faith in Bush is what ultimately overcomes their reservations about his policy in Iraq. They trust that the leader they saw after 9/11 will not mislead them about the dangers that Saddam poses. Dietz's husband Richard, for one, is convinced that Bush knows a lot more than he's letting on publicly. "He is keeping a lot from us to protect us," he says. "If he says there's something there, I'm behind the President." Winston says Bush has become a kind of touchstone of people...
