...offices and factories aren't the only places where eating habits can go awry. Experts are realizing that it takes the collaboration of an entire community--from employers to school districts to food retailers--to help families learn to cook and eat healthy meals at home instead of getting dinner handed to them through a car window. "It's not just about telling people what they should do, but making it easier for them to do it," says Dr. David Katz, director and co-founder of the Yale University Prevention Research Center...
Greg and Chris have started another new habit--taking walks in their neighborhood each evening. "If our daughters want to talk about their day and Mom isn't sitting on the couch," says Chris, "then they say, 'I'm coming with you.'" So instead of emulating their parents' less-than-wholesome eating habits, the girls are now learning from their healthy example. And that's an idea that makes sense for working parents everywhere...
...appears to be a consequence of the recession. In fact, it is a result of the 2002 offshoring of my prior job: a well-paying, 24-year IT career with AT&T and IBM. Had that not happened, I most likely would have retired in 2008, after 30 years. Instead, I have held temporary jobs and have been underemployed in "permanent" jobs that use my varied skills in accounting, paralegal services and IT. During my stints of underemployment, I have probably taken a job away from someone already in that line of work, as when I worked at a customer...
...because such a big jump would probably mean Fair Trade could help fewer farmers - even Starbucks is likely to buy less java at that cost - the FLO is balking. "What good is it to have $2-per-lb. coffee if you can only serve tens of thousands of farmers" instead of millions? asks Paul Rice, president and CEO of TransFair USA, the California-based nonprofit that oversees Fair Trade in the U.S. "You risk killing the goose." Instead, the FLO's main growth strategy is to keep recruiting retailers like Starbucks. "We are going more and more mainstream," says...
...Instead, in announcing the arrests, officials had to concede that they had "no specific information regarding the timing, location or target of any planned attack." What the FBI had were bits and pieces of evidence--handwritten notes on bomb-making techniques, materials that could be used for explosives--that, taken together, hint at the "backpack bombs" used by terrorists in Madrid in 2004 and London...
