...vast number of people I spoke to while canvassing the small towns, farms, and Amish communities of southern Ashtabula County just wanted answers to questions like, “How will I provide my family with healthcare if I lose my job?” and “Which of these candidates is going to bring jobs back to where I live?” The 100,000 or so residents were in a sense primed for Obama’s economic message, and this reflected in the fact that 56% voted him in. Still, at no point...
...government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate...
...hardly a secret that men and women gain weight, lose weight and think about weight entirely differently. It's also not news that body-fat percentage alone - with females naturally carrying an extra ladling of adipose tissue - gives males a head start in the slimming game. But a new study from Brookhaven National Laboratory looked deeper into the primal ways in which we react to the very presence of food - and if you like to eat, this is not a study you would have wanted any part of.

While these results are only preliminary, they do point to an entirely new way that doctors and patients might be able to tackle the growing obesity epidemic in the U.S. "This study suggests that the differences in the organisms may play at least some role in why people lose the weight they do," says Dr. John DiBaise, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic and one of the study's authors. "Ultimately, we may not only be able to manipulate the microbes of obese individuals to look like those of normal-weight people, but we might also potentially be able...
...least, not yet. More studies are needed to follow the same people as they lose weight through diet and exercise, to see if the composition of their gut flora changes - as it did with the gastric-bypass patients. What's more, notwithstanding the seeming cause-and-effect link between gut flora and weight, that relationship can be deceiving; a third factor entirely may be causing both - a diet of highly processed foods, for instance, suggests Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale Prevention Research Center. What's more, says Katz, "regardless of the variation of gut flora in the population...
