...staff of approximately 60, about 35 of them "content creators" (reporters) - plus some 80 from the "preferred blogging community," the majority unpaid - according to AnnArbor.com president and CEO Matt Kraner. Rather than looking like a news-media website, AnnArbor.com deliberately reads more like a social-media site, with equal weight given to reports on a new diner and the proposed city income tax. Ads - known as "deals" - are incorporated into the feed, and users can vote for their favorite, with the highest vote getter scoring a place on the cover of the Sunday hard-copy edition. Not exactly Pulitzer material...
...Michigan TV: Even Worse Than We Thought Yet another reason to turn off the tube: the more TV time kids log, a study found, the higher their blood pressure is, regardless of weight--a spike not seen in connection with other sedentary behaviors like computer use. Researchers say the culprit may be showtime snacking, overstimulation and subsequent sleep loss, or exposure to junk-food commercials...
...says the EPA will weight plug-in electric vehicles as traveling more city miles than highway miles on only electricity, presumably figuring that people buy electric cars primarily for local driving. GM expects the Volt to consume 25 kilowatt hours per 100 miles of city driving. At the U.S. average cost of electricity (approximately 11 cents per kWh), a typical Volt driver would pay about $2.75 for enough electricity to travel 100 miles, or less than 3 cents per mile. (Conversely, a gasoline-powered car that gets 20 m.p.g., for which the driver pays $3 per gallon...
...merit of the weight-lifting program - beyond its health benefits - is that it could be affordable and accessible for breast-cancer survivors, says Schmitz. The classes used in her study were designed to be easily replicated; they were offered at community locations like YMCA centers and taught by fitness coaches who underwent a short training period to learn to spot problematic symptoms...
Experts also foresee significant potential health-care savings, based on the alleviation of symptoms among the study's weight-training patients. Treatment of an exacerbated case of lymphedema requires specialized attention from physical therapists - including massage and compression bandaging - expenses that many but not all insurance companies cover. For a patient with early-stage lymphedema, an eight-day course of therapy sessions can cost an average of $2,000, not including supplies and time spent by patients in daily sessions, according to the National Lymphedema Network. But if the new study leads to a shift in physicians' recommendations, perhaps...
