Childhood Obesity Help From Innovative CompaniesYour Health ...
From Forbes?..
A new study from Sweden shows overweight and obese children under 10 were much more likely to slow their weight gain than were adolescents getting similar behavioral treatments. I wondered if there were any small companies creating apps or toys or games to help kids slow weight gain. I found a bunch.
One of the best one-stop-shops for apps is found at The Apps for Healthy Kids competition, which is part of First Lady Michelle Obama?s Let?s Move! campaign to end childhood obesity within a generation. My favorite winner is one called PapayaHead, a meal planning tool.
Ingredient is a new magazine for kids curious about food.
Get Kids Moving is a set of exercise cards to teachers and children. In addition to some simple products, they provide a wide range of resources to help you cook healthy and exercise more.
My absolute favorite is WOD Toys, shown in the fun video above, which offers kid-based exercise equipment including kettle bells and other gear.
Movable is a wrist-worn activity band to monitor exercise, but it includes an app that lets you set challenges for your family or group.
Growums believes that if you can get your child involved in growing the food, the vegetables and fruits, he or she will be more likely to eat them. I love the idea and while the concept didn?t work with my child (I didn?t know about Growums back then), I have heard it works with many kids.
All of these companies are relatively new and small businesses focused on solving the obesity epidemic facing the USA and the world. If you know of more, share them in the comments.

Crimson King Plum Tree in my front yard blown completely down by Hurricane Sandy. The roots are snapped off and this one cannot be reliably saved. I will chain saw it up over the weekend and feed it into my wood chipper for use as mulch.
Tree in my back yard that was blown partly over but the roots were not snapped. I was able to winch it back up and hopefully it will be OK. I had two other trees that I had to pull/winch back to a plumb position due to the heavy rain, saturated and soggy soil, and high winds.

?The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the veil of indifference to their necessity to continually be ?on watch? and at times to stand up and protect our U.S. Constitution from usurpation by progressive/marxist/radical politicians operating in relative secrecy protected by an enabling press and major media ? thinking and saying it?s the job of someone else ? and living their lives in general apathy about what the national government is up to, they will allow the adoption of every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation without knowing how it happened.?

Top Spam Appliance | Blog - Townsenderin's blog
The operation of the personal or business mailbox can be very difficult without a quality spam appliance to filter or block unsolicited mail messages. The very sorting of the valuable emails is a cumbersome task when the web user needs to work with bulk mail. Only with a spam blocker or filter coming between the mail server and the personal computer, will you be able to make your mail account optimal in terms of usage. While nobody escapes spam on the Internet, some users are more exposed than others. This is the case with online businesses or anyone who depends on the email to make a living. Buy This Trusted & Affordable Chrysler Stratus wind deflector
An anti spam appliance is a piece of software designed to recognize, quarantine or delete the emails with a spam potential. There are two types of spam appliance: spam filters and spam blockers. And although the concepts are often used interchangeably, there are differences between the tools. A filter organizes those emails that are considered spam, so that the PC user may check and proceed with them later. You are the one to delete or answer such mails. A blocker spam appliance on the other hand, prevents the receipt of spam in the first place, so that you don?t have to bother with deleting it. Buy this new & trusted wind screen for your Corvette C5
Major email providers such as Yahoo! Mail or Google Gmail have incorporated spam filters which already allows for an appropriate selection of the messages, but the filtering settings can been easily fooled by lots of spammers. Spam still gets passed these protections and for superior defenses you need to install an individual anti-spam appliance. Some tools cost a small fortune while others are free, it all depends on the features and the usage extent. Drive Your Chrysler Crossfire in Style using this reliable wind blocker
Do not buy a spam appliance without testing a trail version first. Most software companies provide a free download of their product within a maximum 30-day interval. If you are content with the performance after this interval, full protection can be achieved by registering. The prices for a good spam appliance can vary from $3 to $20 per month depending on the features. The highest demand for protection comes from corporations and other business clients that require ultra-high security and unhindered email communications.

Wall Street jumps on strong consumer and jobs data
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 scored its best day in seven weeks on Thursday as bullish consumer confidence and private-sector jobs data gave investors reason to cheer following superstorm Sandy's devastating sweep through the U.S. Northeast.
Technology and materials sector shares led the advance in a day of mostly average volume. About 6.7 billion shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and NYSE MKT, compared with the average daily closing volume of 6.5 billion for the year to date. The S&P 500 technology index <.gspt> rose 1.8 percent, while the PHLX semiconductor index <.sox> surged 3.3 percent. The S&P materials index <.gspm> shot up 2 percent.
Volume had been expected to jump after Sandy forced a historic two-day weather-related market closure earlier in the week but traders said participation remained light to normal.
Data from payrolls processor ADP showed U.S. companies added 158,000 workers in October - the fastest pace in eight months. In another encouraging sign, U.S. consumer confidence jumped in October to its highest in more than four years, the Conference Board said.
The numbers showed a slightly more positive picture of the U.S. economy a day ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls report, the most widely watched U.S. economic indicator.
"In all, it bodes well for the bull side, and finally gave some investors a catalyst to buy," said Alan Lancz, president of Alan B. Lancz & Associates, an investment advisory firm in Toledo, Ohio.
"Tomorrow will be more of a trump card and can take it all away."
Employers are expected to have added 125,000 jobs to payrolls in October, up from 114,000 in September, according to a Reuters survey of economists. The unemployment rate is forecast to have inched up to 7.9 percent after a dramatic drop of 0.3 percentage point in September.

Northeast residents and workers were still recovering from the aftermath of Sandy, which killed scores of people in North America and the Caribbean, and wreaked havoc up and down the U.S. eastern seaboard.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> gained 136.16 points, or 1.04 percent, to 13,232.62 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.spx> shot up 15.43 points, or 1.09 percent, to finish at 1,427.59. This was the S&P 500's biggest daily percentage gain since September 13, when the Federal Reserve unveiled its plan for a third round of stimulus or quantitative easing, also known as "QE3."
The Nasdaq Composite Index <.ixic> jumped 42.83 points, or 1.44 percent, to close at 3,020.06.

'Pure mayhem' as New York City tries to get back to work
NBC's Kerry Sanders reports from Yonkers, N.Y,, where an aerial view of the New York City region shows a traffic nightmare as officials set up checkpoints to make sure every vehicle has at least three passengers before they are allowed into the city.
By Miguel Llanos, NBC News
The promise of limited restoration of transit services lured hundreds of thousands back into the nation's largest city Thursday, but the commute was nightmarish even by New York City's standards: Seemingly endless lines at bus stops, backups at the city's bridges and tunnels stretched for miles, and many people simply gave up after an hour or two of frustration.
Seth Wenig / AP
Commuters wait in a line in Brooklyn, N.Y., to board buses into Manhattan on Thursday.
The scene was "pure mayhem," Lanisha Harris, who was trying to get to work in Manhattan from?Canarsie, Brooklyn, told NBCNewYork.com?in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
The order?that all vehicles entering Manhattan must have at least three occupants appeared to cut down on traffic in the city, but enforcement of the directive caused problems elsewhere.?
At the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel, traffic from New Jersey was restricted to a single lane and cars with fewer than three people were being diverted, causing a backup that jammed the state's northern highways.
"Safety is our paramount concern, not convenience," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday in defending his order.
In downtown Brooklyn,?"easily a thousand people, possibly more" were in line at the Barclay's Center Thursday morning waiting for public buses, NBC 4 New York reporter Kai Simonsen said from his helicopter viewpoint.
That led some people to try to hitchhike their way into Manhattan, with drivers eager to pick them up to make the three-person-per-car quota.
"Some folks offered me a ride,"?said Melanie Bower, 30, who lives in Fort Greene. "I was touched by their kindness at first. But then I realized they just needed me so they could have three in their car.??
Bower walked into Manhattan instead, and then caught a bus uptown.
Related:?Photoblog of the commuter chaos
Wednesday evening's commute out of the city was bad as well,?leading Gov. Andrew Cuomo to declare that?subway, bus and commuter rail services would be free Thursday and Friday.?
TODAY's Natalie Morales reports from Hoboken, N.J., where chilling new images capture communities utterly destroyed; meanwhile, thousands still remain trapped in the region without water, power or heat.
After suffering the worst disaster in its 108-year-old history, subway services resumed at 6 a.m. ET Thursday on more than a dozen lines, supplemented by three bus shuttles.
?There will be no subway service between 34th St. in Midtown and Downtown Brooklyn,? the MTA website said.?
Across the city, the scene remained chaotic:
- LaGuardia Airport was re-opening but several hundred flights at the region's airports?were canceled Thursday.
- Taxis started pulling vehicles off the road as the fuel crunch deepened, with the vast majority of storm-hit gas stations in the greater New York area now out of gasoline or power. Open stations have lines with several hundred cars as well as individuals toting jugs to refuel generators.
- Liberty and Ellis islands sustained serious damage, a source at the National Park Service?told NBCNewYork.com.?"The infrastructure is shot," the source said, adding that the docks and grounds were in "bad shape." While the Statue of Liberty and the museum at its base were OK, the source said, it would likely be "quite a while" before the islands reopen.
- Downtown Manhattan was still mostly an urban landscape of shuttered bodegas and boarded-up restaurants, where people roamed in search of food, power and a hot shower.
- The Staten Island Railway service was still suspended due to ?extensive damage? there.
In Jersey City, across the Hudson River from New York, drivers negotiated intersections without the aid of traffic lights. Lines formed outside pharmacies, while people piled sodden mattresses and furniture on sidewalks. The city has issued a curfew on people as well as a driving ban from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Power was still out to 4.5 million homes and businesses in 14 states -- and 3.2 million of those were in New Jersey and New York.
Five massive U.S. military C-5s and 12 C-17s were flying 61 electrical repair vehicles from California to New York on Thursday to help stressed line crews.
The remnants of?Sandy, meanwhile, dissipated over Canada.?But the storm system, which killed at least 63 people in the U.S., could still dump yet more snow in the Appalachians.
?The last of its effects are winding down along the Appalachian Mountains,? the National Weather Service said, adding that several more inches of snow were possible in some areas of West Virginia and Maryland. ?The cleanup can begin.?
In the wake of the superstorm, people are banding together across New York City and New Jersey, offering power, food and even Halloween fun to their neighbors who have been devastated by wind and floods. NBC's Jenna Bush Hager reports.
Sandy by the numbers
On New York's Long Island, bulldozers scooped sand off streets and tow trucks hauled away destroyed cars, while residents tried to find a way to their homes to restart their lives.
Joanne and Richard Kalb used a rowboat to reach their home in Mastic Beach, filled with 3 feet of water. Her husband, exasperated by the futility of their effort, posted a sign on a telephone pole, asking drivers to slow down: "Slow please no wake."?
In New Jersey, President Barack Obama joined Republican Gov. Chris Christie ?on Wednesday to tour the ravaged coast and promised to get the cleanup moving.
"We are here for you," Obama said in Brigantine, N.J. "We are not going to tolerate red tape. We are not going to tolerate bureaucracy."
The president resumed campaigning Thursday after a three-day hiatus due to the storm.
Most of Sandy's flood waters on New York City's streets have receded, but much of the water beneath the streets remains trapped. TODAY's Savannah Guthrie met with Roger Less of the Army Corps of Engineers to talk about the task of drying out the underground.
Full coverage of Sandy from NBC News
Signs of the good life that had defined wealthy shorefront enclaves like Bayhead and Mantoloking lay scattered and broken: $3,000 barbecue grills buried beneath the sand and hot tubs cracked and filled with seawater, the Associated Press reported.
Nearly all the homes were seriously damaged, and many had entirely disappeared.
"This," said Harry Typaldos, who owns the Grenville Inn in Mantoloking, "I just can't comprehend."
Most of New Jersey's mass transit systems remained shut down, leaving hundreds of thousands of commuters braving clogged highways and quarter-mile lines at gas stations.

Superstorm Sandy made landfall Monday evening on a destructive and deadly path across the Northeast.
Atlantic City's casinos remained closed.
Christie postponed Halloween until Monday, saying trick-or-treating wasn't safe in towns with flooded and darkened streets, fallen trees and downed power lines.
Farther north in Hoboken, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, nearly 20,000 residents remained stranded in their homes, amid accusations that officials have been slow to deliver food and water.
One man blew up an air mattress and floated to City Hall, demanding to know why supplies hadn't gotten out, the Associated Press reported.
At least one-fourth of the city's residents are flooded and 90 percent are without power.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

MSI launches the 27-inch Wind Top AE2712 all-in-one brandishing Windows 8, military specs
The Windows 8 all-in-one arena is already pretty crowded, but if MSI's new model had to fight it out with the rest battle-bot style, then it might just come out on top.
