Harvard researchers have found another explanation for the national child obesity epidemic: mothers’ weight gain during pregnancy. The seven-year study, led by Harvard Medical School instructor Emily Oken, discovered that children whose mothers gained at least the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy were four times more likely to be overweight at age three, compared to those whose mothers gained less. The recommended weight gain for women with a normal body mass index (BMI) is 25 to 35 pounds. This number varies depending on the BMI of the expecting mother. The study is published in the April...
...office hours than by going out on a Friday night. Though we profess mastery in most areas of life, we were not immune to distressingly poor decision making when we formed our blocking groups. Peter blocked with two sycophant pussies, a kid with the mind of a seven-year old, a Jew, and a bi-courteous guy. Just to keep sane, Peter spends 60 hours per week in “Second Life” doing Linden Dollar arbitrage. DA blocked with five black guys, and you can imagine how that turned out. Now he won’t even...
...That helps to explain why, for example, Japan's stock index took such a hit on Feb. 28 after approaching a seven-year high earlier in the week. Toyota, Sony et al would surely feel it if a slowdown in the U.S. proves sharper than expected. But will it? On the same day that the dismal durable-goods number came out, a monthly survey of U.S. consumer confidence rose unexpectedly, and so did the latest figures for existing U.S. home sales. In other words, a painful U.S. slowdown is not, by any means, a given. And for those...

...study published last month by Connolly and colleagues Hillel R. Alpert, Geoffrey F. Wayne, and Howard Koh showed an increase in the level of nicotine found in cigarettes across all brands and types from 1998 through 2005. Nicotine levels rose by an average of 1.6 percent annually over the seven-year period, according to the study, accumulating an 11 percent increase over the course of the entire study. In a statement released last month, Philip Morris disputed the results of the HSPH study, asserting that nicotine levels in cigarettes from 1997 and 2006 were “the same...
