Overweight people eat fewer meals than others - Yahoo! News
Overweight people eat fewer meals than others - Yahoo! News: "The researchers found that, on average, the normal weight subjects ate three meals and a little over two snacks each day, whereas the overweight group averaged three meals and just over one snack a day.
Generally, though, "weight loss maintainers" consumed the fewest calories, at about 1,800 a day, compared with the normal weight and overweight subjects, who took in 1,900 and more than 2,000 calories a day, respectively.
Weight loss maintainers also were the most physically active of the three groups, Bachman said, burning off about 3,000 calories a week through exercise and other activities, compared to 2,000 calories a week among the normal weight subjects and 800 calories a week in the overweight group.
The results, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, suggest that weight loss maintainers intentionally do more to keep from regaining extra pounds, Bachman said."

Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Germans try to kill off pound
Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Germans try to kill off pound: "In a chilling threat to UK sovereignty, German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble predicted that all Europe would one day use the single currency. “It will happen perhaps faster than some in the British Isles currently believe,” he said.
His sinister warning followed the emergence of a secret German plan to build a powerful new economic government for the eurozone and block an EU referendum in Britain.
A leaked German foreign ministry memo detailed plans for a new European Monetary Fund. It also claimed the EU’s treaty could be altered to centralise more power without triggering a vote."

China warns US on territory disputes - FT.com
China warns US on territory disputes - FT.com: "The remarks were made after Barack Obama had been reinforcing the message of a robust US presence in Asia in a key foreign policy speech. On Thursday, the US also announced it would station 2,500 troops in Australia, a move seen as an attempt to counterbalance China’s rising military influence in the region.
“China […] supports Asean in handling disputes in its own way and opposes outside interference in Asean’s internal affairs,” Mr Wen said in a statement carried by Xinhua, the official news agency. He went on to invoke the common interests of China and the Asean countries as rising economic powers which face a west in decline, and reiterated Beijing’s often-stated pledges that it was committed to co-operation and would never seek hegemony.

‘Near Poor’ - Not Quite in Poverty, but Still Struggling - NYTimes.com: "When the Census Bureau this month released a new measure of poverty, meant to better count disposable income, it began altering the portrait of national need. Perhaps the most startling differences between the old measure and the new involves data the government has not yet published, showing 51 million people with incomes less than 50 percent above the poverty line. That number of Americans is 76 percent higher than the official account, published in September. All told, that places 100 million people — one in three Americans — either in poverty or in the fretful zone just above it."

The Truth Denied Breaking News - Weather trades on the Stock Market, and that’s not the worst part!: "At the moment we are all being bombarded with a series of stories being released on the internet connecting weather to the stock market. Fact is, weather has always been a part of the trading landscape and customers of brokerages and major corporations have traded the weather for years via weather derivatives, commodities, insurance vehicles, hedge funds, etc. So what is the disturbance all about and why are folks around the world getting all fired up about this concept? Isn’t this just one more pathetic greed factor attributed to the onslaught of corporate greed and ” little concern for the bulk of humanity” syndrome? You think that we would all be used to the abuse by now, right?"

The Preeminence Of Christ
The Preeminence Of Christ: "This is an except from Dr. Holland's book, Crowned With Glory.
Some have proclaimed that modern versions or their Greek texts deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Certainly there are some, such as the New World Translation, that seek to diminish Christ's deity. It is also true that some versions are stronger regarding Christ's deity than others. While most translations clearly and strongly proclaim this basic biblical truth, the Traditional Text does present a stronger Christology regarding His deity (Matthew 19:16-17; Romans 14:10, 12; Philippians 2:6; 1Timothy 3:16; 1John 5:7; and Revelation 1:8, 11)."

Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Ted Turner get over $30bn in tax subsidies EVERY YEAR | Mail Online
Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Ted Turner get over $30bn in tax subsidies EVERY YEAR | Mail Online: "Rock star Jon Bon Jovi apparently only paid $100 worth of property taxes in the last fiscal year because he uses the land to raise bees- a move that receieves government subsidies, and was joined by fellow New Jersey-native Bruce Springsteen who got money back for leasing land to an organic farmer.
Both media mogul Ted Turner and former NBA star Scottie Pippen receive farm subsidies for land that they own.
Rather than profiting from his land, famed music producer Quincy Jones- credited with driving Michael Jackson to his success- received a $250,000 award from the National Endowment of the Arts.
These subsidies come through unemployment checks, Social Security payments, farm subsidies and numerous tax credits.
The report notes that in tax year 2009, nearly 1,500 millionaires paid no federal income tax."

FIRST EVER Audit of the Federal Reserve Reveals $16 Trillion in Secret Bailouts
The Silver Bear Cafe: "What was revealed in the audit was startling:
$16,000,000,000,000.00 had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious - the American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs."

Romney Two-Way Race Now Four-Way Republican Dead Heat in Iowa - Bloomberg: "Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are in a dead heat as the top choices for Iowans likely to attend the Jan. 3 Republican presidential caucuses.
A Bloomberg News poll shows Cain at 20 percent, Paul at 19 percent, Romney at 18 percent and Gingrich at 17 percent among the likely attendees with the caucuses that start the nominating contests seven weeks away.
Economic issues such as jobs, taxes and government spending are driving voter sentiment, rather than such social issues as abortion and gay marriage, the poll finds. Only about a quarter of likely caucus-goers say social or constitutional issues are more important to them, compared with 71 percent who say fiscal concerns."

The deployment is being seen as a move to counter China's growing influence.

"The main message that I've said, not only publicly but also privately to China, is that with their rise comes increased responsibility," he said.

When Christians Banned Christmas « Missionary to America's Blog
When Christians Banned Christmas « Missionary to America's Blog: "Although many may say that Christmas is for Christians, history shows that instead of embracing the “holiday,” Christians throughout the years have stood against it. Even some of the very men that founded America fought to outlaw its observance.
In the 1640’s, the English Parliament discussed enacting a ban on Christmas because they believed that it was directly contrary to Christianity. One of the main reasons that the Puritans believed this was because the holiday was a mixture of “pagan revelry” and Catholic mandates. "

‘Tis the Season: Grinch This, Corporate America! « Speak Truth 2 Power
‘Tis the Season: Grinch This, Corporate America! « Speak Truth 2 Power: "Corporate America counts on Christmas sales to stuff its purse, and place Americans in holiday debt. In fact, Christmas is the main shopping event that generates more revenue for Corporate America than any other time of the year. So the question is, why do we give in every year to this push to create more debt when any other time of the year we protest against it? What makes Christmas shopping an exception? Could it be that we have been manipulated by the mass media? Naw, couldn’t be! A manufactured holiday, promoted by Corporate America, the Corporate Church, and almost everyone we know and love? Must be a conspiracy theory. But wait, isn’t the push for 9-11 truth a conspiracy theory also? Hmmm…how about a push for Christmas truth? What about a commission to study the effects of Christmas?"

EU adopts guidelines on airport body scanners - Yahoo! News
EU adopts guidelines on airport body scanners - Yahoo! News: "Under the new EU law, security scanners must not store or copy any of the images, and the security staff analyzing the images will be in a room separate from where the actual screening is conducted. In addition, passengers must be informed and be given the right to choose an alternative method of screening.
And in order not to risk citizens' health and safety, only security scanners that do not use X-ray technology can be used at EU airports.
"The most important provision is that every passenger has the right to opt out and ask for the use of an alternative method," said Helen Kearns, spokeswoman for the transport commission.
EU states have been mulling the use of security scanners ever since Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 24-year-old Nigerian, attempted in 2009 to blow up a plane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit with plastic explosives he had hidden in his underwear"

Healthcare Law's Fate Now In Supreme Court's Hands - CNBC: "At the heart of the legal battle is whether Congress overstepped its powers by requiring that all Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty, a provision known as the individual mandate.
The law, aiming to provide more than 30 million uninsured Americans with medical coverage, has wide ramifications for company costs and for the health sector, affecting health insurers, drugmakers, device companies and hospitals.
The law, Obama's signature domestic achievement, will be a major issue in the U.S. elections in November 2012 as he seeks another four-year term. Republican presidential candidates oppose the law and Republicans in Congress want to repeal it.
A Supreme Court spokeswoman said oral arguments would take place in March. There will be a total of 5-1/2 hours of arguments."

Vandals Strike Lincoln’s Tomb, Steal Copper Sword « CBS St. Louis: " Thieves have nabbed a 3-foot-long copper sword atop Lincoln’s Tomb in what is believed to be the first theft at the site in more than a century.
An employee noticed last week that the sword was cut from a statue of a Civil War artillery officer, the (Springfield) State Journal-Register reported Saturday. Officials think the sword was stolen sometime between September and early November.
Nothing had been stolen from the Springfield site, which is the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln, since the sword on the same statue was taken more than 100 years ago, said Dave Blanchette, a spokesman for the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. Then, the sword was bronze."

» Ron Paul Only Republican Candidate Not Calling for Iran Attack Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!: Once again, Rep. Ron Paul represented the voice of reason at the latest Republican debate held on Saturday in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
"“I’m afraid what’s going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on against Iraq,” he said.
Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich strongly advocated going to war with Iran. Romney said that if “crippling sanctions” fail, military action would be used because it is “unacceptable” for Iran to become a nuclear power like the United States, Russia, Britain, China, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel.
“If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. And if you elect Mitt Romney, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon,” said Romney."

Asked about attacking Iran, Paul said the president is obliged to follow the Constitution and go through Congress before attacking the country. He compared the current situation to the one before the United States launched its invasion of Iraq in 2003.
