Children's Health & Fitness ? No Idea What Obesity Is Like

May 28th, 2012 by Len Saunders

From the Yuma Sun?..

This letter is in response to Ann Rogers? letter to the editor titled ?Suggestion for obesity.?

First, let me start by saying I?m incredibly sorry for her ignorance. I?m sure she has many flaws and maybe she should take a long hard look at them and find a sign appropriate for herself.

I used to be fat. In fact, I would have had to wear two of her signs ??ugh? and ?morbidly obese? ? because I was so overweight. After gastric bypass and weight loss of almost 170 pounds, weight is still a struggle each and every day of my life, just to maintain a healthy weight.

She obviously has no idea what it feels like, how hard EVERY aspect of life is when you?re overweight, and how shameful it feels to be fat, and she should thank God that she doesn?t know that feeling.

US gov't sets stiff tariffs on China solar panels

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Obama administration moved Thursday to impose stiff new tariffs on solar panels made in China, finding that Chinese companies are improperly flooding the U.S. market with government-subsidized products.

The Commerce Department said Chinese producers had dumped solar cells and panels in the United States at margins ranging from 31 percent to nearly 250 percent. If the preliminary ruling is upheld, tariffs averaging 31 percent could be imposed on Chinese solar-panel imports.

The tariffs would be in addition to fees ranging from 2.9 percent to 4.73 percent imposed in March after the department found that China is improperly subsidizing its solar manufacturers.

The tariffs announced Thursday were higher than expected and could ratchet up trade tensions between the two countries.

Several U.S. solar panel makers, led by Oregon-based SolarWorld, had asked the government to impose steep tariffs on Chinese imports. They are struggling against stiff competition from China as well as weakening demand in Europe and other key markets.

A majority of U.S. solar panel installers oppose tariffs on Chinese panels, arguing that less expensive imports have helped make solar panels more affordable for U.S. customers, just as President Barack Obama and many governors are working to promote renewable energy.

The solar companies also worried that China could retaliate against U.S. companies doing business there, noting that Chinese authorities have announced their own probe into whether U.S. support for renewable energy companies hurts foreign suppliers.

"This is the first step to a trade war between the U.S. and China," said Jigar Shah, leader of a coalition of solar companies that oppose U.S. tariffs.

The Commerce Department decision will increase solar electricity prices in the United States "precisely at the moment solar power is becoming competitive with fossil-fuel-generated electricity," said Shah, president of the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy.

Members of the coalition include California-based SunEdison, Recurrent Energy, SolarCity and Westinghouse Solar, as well as China-based Suntech Power Holdings Co., one of the companies affected by the Commerce case.

SolarWorld president Gordon Brinser said the Commerce Department merely confirmed that Chinese manufacturers have illegally dumped solar cells and panels in the U.S. market, giving their products an unfair advantage.

The ruling "will re-establish a natural balance in pricing that does need to occur in the global marketplace," Brinser said, adding that the U.S. solar market has been "distorted" by cheap Chinese imports.

SolarWorld Industries America Inc., a subsidiary of Germany's SolarWorld AG, is the largest U.S. maker of silicon solar cells and panels. The company was joined by six other manufacturers, including Wisconsin-based Helios Solar Works, in filing the unfair trade complaint.

Brinser, of SolarWorld, said "doomsday" predictions by Shah and other critics that U.S. tariffs will lead to the loss of thousands of U.S. jobs were overstated.

Solar power is growing rapidly in the United States, Brinser said, adding that demand for solar panels will continue to rise as states set standards for renewable energy and consumers see benefits from solar power.

Commerce also granted SolarWorld's request for a finding of "critical circumstances" to counter a recent flood of Chinese imports into the U.S. market ahead of the widely anticipated decision. As a result, preliminary dumping tariffs will be imposed retroactively 90 days from the date the decision is published in the Federal Register.

ITC bans Motorola mobile devices for infringing Microsoft patent (updated: MMI responds)

At the end of last year, an Administrative Law Judge issued an initial ruling that Motorola's mobile devices infringe a bit of Microsoft's IP. Now, the Commission has affirmed that decision and issued an exclusion order to ban Moto's offending devices from importation into the US. In case you weren't aware, the four patent claims at issue generally cover technology for scheduling meetings over email using a mobile device. So, unless Motorola removes the feature, pays for a license or whips up a workaround Microsoft's patent in short order, its inbound RAZRs, Droid 4s, Bionics and other offending handsets will be stuck in customs alongside HTC's One X and EVO 4G LTE -- that is, unless Obama steps in to save the day during the prescribed presidential review period. Microsoft, naturally, is quite pleased with this development and has issued a statement:

Microsoft sued Motorola in the ITC only after Motorola chose to refuse Microsoft's efforts to renew a patent license for well over a year. We're pleased the full Commission agreed that Motorola has infringed Microsoft's intellectual property, and we hope that now Motorola will be willing to join the vast majority of Android device makers selling phones in the US by taking a license to our patents.

-- David Howard, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel Microsoft

We've reached out to Motorola for comment on the matter as well, so stay tuned to see what it has to say.

Update: Motorola has issued an understandably somber statement on the ruling:

Microsoft started its ITC investigation asserting 9 patents against Motorola Mobility. Although we are disappointed by the Commission's ruling that certain Motorola Mobility products violated one patent, we look forward to reading the full opinion to understand its reasoning. Motorola Mobility will not experience any impact in the near term, as the Commission's ruling is subject to a $0.33/per unit bond during the 60 day Presidential review period. We will explore all options including appeal.

Eating bugs - Health, Fitness, and Sports

Pondering Velociraptor Joined: Oct 25, 2010 Age: 22 Posts: 447 Location: Sitting On Top Of The World	Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 3:13 pm?? ?Post subject: Eating bugs What is your view on this? I think it's a great idea. A lot of bugs are very good for your health. Crickets, meal worms, super worms... All very healthy and easy to breed for a much larger food supply. The trick is learning how to cook them properly, but once you have, they are not only tasty, but a healthy treat, especially if they've been gutloaded with very healthy foods. I think if there comes a time where people are lacking healthy food sources, a lot of people will resort to eating and breeding bugs, or at least it would be a smart thing to do. _________________ "You know, the blues ain't nothing but a worried ole heart disease"-Son House

Insurance rates with respect to car types | Automotive Info

A large number of drivers usually get surprised when they learn about different insurance rates for different car types. They think that it doesn?t matter whether it?s a small car or a hot rod as long as they have a good driving record and don?t get in trouble in traffic. With all that, insurance companies have a different perspective on things and they will charge you with different premiums depending on the type of car you?re trying to insure. That?s why you should always bear in mind the following characteristics of each car type and make your decisions correctly if you want your auto insurance budget to be limited:

Small vehicles
Small sized vehicles are usually very affordable and rather comfortable in the conditions of a big city with heavy traffic. They typically have low engine volumes, top speed, get stolen quite rarely and are inexpensive to handle at repair. Even so, auto insurance can be a bit expensive for small cars because they tend to get damaged very bad during accidents. Basic physics aren?t on small cars? side during collisions because the smaller object tends to get the most damage regardless of the safety features the manufacturer has included. That?s why costly claims tend to arise more often with such vehicles, and the insurers respond with respective pricing.

Mid-sized cars
Mid-class vehicles are often considered to be the safest and the cheapest to insure. Naturally, it depends on the particular make and model, but the in general these cars are quite safe, have low repair costs and theft rates, and tend to get damaged much less than smaller vehicles during an accident. That is why you will usually get the best auto insurance rates for this car type.

SUVs
Large cars, trucks and SUVs that fall into the same size category are certainly very comfortable and give you a whole different perspective in traffic. But the size can be a problem with these vehicles. Due to their increased mass as compared to other vehicle types SUVs tend to produce more damage during accidents, especially involving other cars. Third party liability claims with SUVs are likely to be higher because the other car tends to get damaged quite bad and there are likely to be injuries as well. Added to the higher repair costs for such vehicles SUVs are usually more expensive to insure.

Sports vehicles
Fast sports cars often look like a great option for car buyers since they are both cool and cheap. However, when it comes to insuring a typical sports car, you will actually have a hard time getting cheap auto insurance because insurers tend to classify such cars as high risk. High top speed, engine volume, elevated theft and accident rates as well as the likelihood to produce a very serious car crash all contribute to expensive auto insurance rates for sports vehicles.

Expensive cars
It may look natural for expensive cars to be costly in terms of insurance. But it has nothing to do with their initial price as there are other reasons to charge higher rates for such vehicles. First of all, they are usually very costly to repair, often requiring exclusive and overpriced repair parts that are hard to find in an ordinary repair shop. Besides, such vehicles are often targeted by car thieves and burglars due to their value and exclusivity. That?s why getting cheap auto insurance for any luxury car is problematic.

Home Improvement - Refurbishment and Remodelling Ideas for ...

There is no doubt that pests are a serious problem in many homes across the country. In fact some pests such as termites can cause a massive amount of damage on par with natural disasters every year. Getting rid of problem pests such as insects and rodents used to be difficult and expensive and required the services of a professional service, however this is no longer the case.

Some of the worst and most common pests you can encounter in your home are insects such as roaches, bed bugs and ants, although rodents such as rats and mice also represent a serious problem for many homeowners and getting rid of them can be just as difficult if not more so than getting rid of bugs.

The best thing about pest control is that you can do all of the work yourself and save in the long run. In addition you?ll have the added benefit of knowing exactly what you?re using and whether or not it will affect the health of your family, this is especially important if you have small children whose bodies could be harmed by the over application of some kinds of pesticides.

Using common sense and a holistic approach to pest control is usually best. This means that including such things as regular cleaning and monitoring of the situation into your program rather than just spraying a room and forgetting about it will usually have a much better outcome in the long run. This is because pests are notorious for being able to survive only surface treatments of pesticides, therefore you have to approach their presence with an all-out attack, so that they have nowhere to run and hide and have no choice but to leave your home or die.

Keep in mind that when you are applying pesticides, it helps to have the absolute best products on your side. Generally speaking this means that you will want to invest in the same products that pest control removal pros use to get rid of bugs. There are in fact many places online where you can find professional pest control supplies. And you should always make sure to read the labels on any products you do purchase before applying them in order to prevent unwanted side effects that could result from over exposure or improper use.
