According to the new study, in 1999-2000 (NHANES' surveys are conducted in 2-year cycles), 27.5 percent of all youth between 2 and 19 years old were considered overweight. That increased to 31.8 percent in the 2011-2012 study and 33.2 percent in the 2013-2014 cohort.

Go to any Walmart or mall and sit for a few minutes, watching the population walk by. Our country is by and large(no pun intended) , fat.
I happened to watch the program "MY 600 Lb Life) last night. Subject has lost 350 plus pounds, including 35 lbs of skin that was removed in this episode. He still has 200 lbs to go, he started the documentary two years ago at 729 lbs. He could actually waddle on his feet at that weight,using a cane.

What frustrates me is when some grossly obese 700 pound person has to ride one of those carts, destroying the seat and motor, so my 81 year old mom with polyneuropathy and a bad leg has to wait.

One of the things about Democrats that our side either hates or admires is they are relentless. They do not give up. Did it bother them that the country gave clear indications that the country did not want Obamacare foisted upon it, with even one of the most liberal states weighing in against it. Did it bother them that they had to sacrifice 40 Congressmen. No, all that mattered was achieving the goal. They fought until the end.
Now, we have a bunch of people who are asking Cruz to simply give up - accept reality. The exact sort of thing we are tired of hearing from the GOPe.
I hope Cruz fights this all the way. If he loses, he at least went down swinging. His hail mary play may not work, but at least he made a play to win.
I don't care about his speaking style, his voice, his nose, his unlikability - all I care about is someone advocating constitutional conservatism and giving it fair hearing. If that loses to whatever brand of conservatism that people think Trump brings - so be it.
But give up - heck no. I'd think less of Cruz if he did. I hope he fights this to the bitter end - even if it means doing everything in his power to deny Trump the nomination.
Because Hillary is not my enemy. Progressive government is.

One thing you can say about Democrats. They will NEVER stab any of their colleagues in the back.

Heard yesterday that because Prince didn't leave a will, it's very possible that the state of MN and local governments will take at least 50% of it in taxes.
Prince was reportedly a generous, anonymous donor. His manager, etc. said that there are people in hospitals in California whose treatment outside of insurance is being completely covered anonymously. That anonymous is Prince.
It's sad that instead of his fortune being able to continue to be used in this manner, half of it is going to go to the government to waste.

My younger son is 48%tile for height and 51%tile for weight. His doctor ominously showed me the line for "overweight" that was a bit over where my son was on the chart.
I'm sorry, if an almost perfectly average kid is anywhere near "overweight" by the bmi chart, the problem is the chart.

Boehner goes to Stanford for a speech(nice pick Stanford) before a
primary and tells them that Cruz was the "worst son of a bitch to work
with" and that he thinks Bernie is a genuine, truthful candidate.
Which reveals everything that you need to know about John Boehner.
Do you think that he is different now that he is out of office?
No. He is not. At his core , he is , was and always has been a audience-pleasing whore who will mouth the words necessary to garner praise from current onlookers.

"Sister Diana had multiple documents vouching for her and the temporary nature of her visit," wrote Shea, from a letter to her prioress attesting "that the nun has been gainfully employed since last February with the Babel College of Philosophy and Theology in Erbil." There are also letters from her sponsors, the Institute for Global Engagement and former Congressman Frank Wolf's (R-Va.) 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative.
"For good measure, she also had a letter of endorsement for her visit from Representative Anna Eshoo" (D-Calif.), who co-chairs the congressional Caucus on Religious Minorities in the Middle East, Shea added.
Yet the consular officials "either thought that they were all in on a scheme by the nun or that Sister Diana was plotting to deceive her well-placed friends and supporters, as well as the US government," Shea wrote.

Ugh, yes!
My sister's daughter was deemed overweight by her school on 5th grade - they had implemented a policy of sending notes home to parents about it.
My sis is usually confrontational, but she decided to just not respond, not even acknowledge that it is any of their business.
The thing is that kids are growing, and sometimes they're thick, but then they'll sprout an inch or two and it will even out. And then there's puberty where everything is a mess. I wish that everyone would just butt out unless the kid is truly morbidly obese, not "obese" based on arbitrary BMI guidelines.

If you spend the time to construct a proper will, your lawyers will ask you want you want done with your money and assets when you die and would have begun to construct foundations, trusts, etc. that would have sheltered some of the money. You can direct where you want your money to go, he could have left sums now in trust, or after death that would have gone directly to charities of his choice, and been sheltered from being simply taken by the government.
His estate is estimated somewhere around $300M (I don't know if that includes his unpublished music, etc.) If the state and feds are going to claim half of it, it will likely force the sale of property, including Paisley Park in order to cover the taxes. A detailed will and estate planning could have designated a different disposition of those assets according to his wishes, possibly avoiding much of the tax bill.
This is what lawyers/accountants who specialize in estate planning do.

The Dutch used to be known for their fine tobacco.
Their trick was to sauce it with spices and molasses and rum and what-have-you, then bind it tightly with cord and leave it to age for a few months or years. Pressure, spices, and time yielded a dense product that they could shred fine as tinder and that didn't offend the nose or palate, which was no small feat in those days.

My last roomie when I lived in the barracks was always coming up overweight according to the Army's weight charts, and the alternate BMI measurements they were using back in 1990-91. Caused him all kinds of bureaucratic problems.
He was also a 6'4", ripped, 11C monster who could run like a marathoner and was nationally ranked in the Hammer Throw. The Army plucked him out of the unit to go off and train for the Olympic Team, although he barely missed the cut.

The problem with state-level minimum wage increases, especially big jumps like that one, is that they are too fast. The minimum wage will, eventually (barring some ghastly collapse of civiliation) become $15 an hour as inflation and market forces cause it to happen. They just want to rush things along, which damages everything in the process by artificially inflating wages.

Because of how the estate is structured. No trusts, probably, so every asset will be valued (and probably will need to be sold to pay taxes) and taxes assessed. With proper planning and using trusts, estates can be managed to minimize or even eliminate taxes entirely.
What is worse is that since he died intestate the court gets to appoint a favorite lawyer to help manage his affairs, and gets to decide what fees that lawyer charges. This is organized, legal looting.
Prince really screwed up.

Hillary is the recipient of 20+ years of mostly the best press one could ask for. Add to that all of the fawning from the entertainment industry, such as many references to "president Hillary" in future sci-fi times, Hillary-based stories such as "Madame Secretary" and "The God Wife", etc.. An entire generation has been taught is school that she is smartest woman ever in politics and it is her destiny to be the first woman president. Honestly, I cannot think of another politician who has gotten this much good press except the Kennedys.
And yet she's still struggling to beat a repellent, half-crazed Commie.

Media people live on ratings. Its that simple.
Imagine you sell furniture for a living, and you get some god-awful pink sofas in. You personally hate the color, but people keep asking about it.
You will sell those pink sofas.
My morning talk show sure gave Trump a lot of airtime and Cruz and anyone else basically zero. My daughter only heard Rubio's voice when he made fun of Trump.
(This is an example, not saying Rubio was great.)
But I really don't think the guys on the radio actually want Trump. They obviously did a little split where one guy was more pro-Trump and the other less so, but still friendly enough.
Why did they do that? Money.
They don't like pink sofas, but customers keep asking.

Yep
Every five to ten years, the Surgeon's Guild would commission a portrait by a leading portraitist of the period; Rembrandt was commissioned for this task when he was 26 years old, and newly arrived in Amsterdam. It was his first major commission in Amsterdam. Each of the men included in the portrait would have paid a certain amount of money to be included in the work, and the more central figures (in this case, Dr. Tulp) probably paid more, even twice as much.

Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at April 28, 2016 11:15 AM (mvenn)
Honest answer: It relates to nearly everything else we know about the poor, and the left's approach to combating social ills. We have created a nation of dependents. Too many of these people rely on someone other than themselves, often the government, to supply them with basic needs.
So what gets tossed at the poor are often nutritionally horrible foods, with all the fat and sugar and partially hydrogenated petroleum jelly grease extract, that obesity and hunger DO go hand in hand.
What has been shown time and again is that nearly EVERY incident of famine in this world is caused by political circumstances, and not economic/climate problems. Controlling the flow of food is even more basic than controlling everything else the left does in this country, so the nazis who want to manage what YOUR children eat?
Yep, that's our left. That's the Democrat Party. And this is the result.

MTF, his sister Tyka petitioned the court yesterday to appoint Prince's longtime bank to temporarily oversee his estate, Bremer Trust. Probate court approved it, giving them at least six months of authority, and she has filed a request to eventually be named the special administrator.
That estate probably won't be settled for years. I heard yesterday that downloads of his music went up 1600% after his death, which is more income for the estate that of course, will be taxed.

They have to fill air time (notice the long musical intros and exits). Trump is one of the few who will go on with no conditions. Cruz stayed away from anyone who would ask him about women rumors for ten days. Rubio didn't have anything to say until he got into a penis contest with Trump. Radio guys want to get paid for Political Commercials. So put the thumbscrews to a guest candidate to prove their independence and improve their ratings. Free air time isn't risk free.

It might, yeah. For now it was pretty effective at getting a lot of attention. People are right though: the convention picks the VP, not the candidate. So going in it weakens his position.
Its possible Cruz just did it to keep Trump from picking her, or he's got some back room deal going with the GOPe as the anti-Trump, or who knows. Its hard to really read at this point.

with all the fat and sugar and partially hydrogenated petroleum jelly
grease extract, that obesity and hunger DO go hand in hand.
They have EBT cards - they select the food they want.
Michelle Obama and others whine about good foods not being available to them, that it's more convenient and cheaper to get fast food than fresh fruits and vegetables. This is true. It's also true that they prefer not to take the time, the planning to shop for ingredients and then prepare the meal at home. Probably why they are also poor - they cannot or will not plan, take the easiest option, etc.
One anecdote of this: Had a friend who was a kindergarten teacher in a poor neighborhood (her choice because she thought she could best help them). School provided *free breakfast* before class. Parents couldn't be bothered to get them there early for the *free breakfast*. In fact, typically half the kids were in PJs. She would save food for them so that they wouldn't be hungry in class...until it finally dawned on her that it's not her job to assist them in getting *free breakfast* for their kids. If there's no effort involved, there's also no value. Whose fault is it when those kids were hungry in class? Whose fault is it if they are taken to McD's after school to pig out on fries?

My guess is it's high blood pressure meds. Coughing is a side effect of it, apparently, although I think if that happens you're dosage isn't right and I can't imagine that's the case because she's getting the best medical care in the world.

Carly was talking about how close she has become to the Cruz family while on the campaign trail. She sang a bit of a song that she made up to sing to Cruz' daughters.
The fact that she has that song -- and sings quite well -- is sweet.
Throwing it into the campaign speech was weird.

Rush stays out of endorsing or rejecting candidates in the primaries, very deliberately and studiously and always has. He just takes the position of the analyst and particularly analyzing the news and opposition. The only time he annoys me with elections is when he supports a crappy candidate just because he wants the Democrats to lose.

Michelle
Obama and others whine about good foods not being available to them,
that it's more convenient and cheaper to get fast food than fresh fruits
and vegetables. This is true. It's also true that they prefer not to
take the time, the planning to shop for ingredients and then prepare the
meal at home. Probably why they are also poor - they cannot or will not
plan, take the easiest option, etc.
One anecdote of this:
Had a friend who was a kindergarten teacher in a poor neighborhood (her
choice because she thought she could best help them). School provided
*free breakfast* before class. Parents couldn't be bothered to get them
there early for the *free breakfast*. In fact, typically half the kids
were in PJs. She would save food for them so that they wouldn't be
hungry in class...until it finally dawned on her that it's not her job
to assist them in getting *free breakfast* for their kids. If there's no
effort involved, there's also no value. Whose fault is it when those
kids were hungry in class? Whose fault is it if they are taken to McD's
after school to pig out on fries?
Posted by: Lizzy at April 28, 2016 11:35 AM (NOIQH)
Exactly. This is a deeply rooted (no pun intended) cultural problem: people who can't be bothered to take care of their own basic needs, like feeding themselves and their children properly.
It really is a shame there are no fresh produce sites in many inner cities anymore, but one of the reasons there aren't is because it's not economically feasible to maintain a business in many of these communities, let alone safe to operate a business.
The evil that is wrapped into the left's societal rot cannot be overstated.

Rush had a woman call yesterday, begging him to tell her whether she should vote for Cruz or Trump in the upcoming primary.
Rush has never endorsed any candidate in a primary for the 30 plus years he's been on radio, and he didn't take the bait on this yesterday. Explain to me why he should have "stomped" on Trump's candidacy when he doesn't endorse any Republican.
Levin, who I have listened to for years, has jumped the shark on his support of Cruz. I haven't listened to his show now for well over a week, because I am tired of the nightly diatribe about Trump and his reading of what internet idiots write on Levin's facebook page, etc. It is highly unlikely that Cruz will get the nomination, and what is Levin going to do for the remainder of the campaign, in the general, when he has already stated he will vote for Trump if he is the candidate. He is going to have to explain why he is voting for someone that he has spent the last few months trashing nightly, with just a bit more civility than Beck.

As early as Friday, Obama is set to formally release findings from the Defense, Justice and Homeland Security Departments on ways to spur the development of guns that can only be fired by their owner, according to industry and gun control sources. Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett is slated to preview the announcement for stakeholders on Thursday afternoon.

I do not think the punditry and most Conservatives get that Trump has charisma. It seems impossible that he would have it, but, he does. Just like Bill Clinton did. Just like Barack Obama does. Analyzed objectively, Clinton is the only one with halfway decent credentials, but, the charm factor cannot be discounted. Romney has a fabulous resume, but, negative charisma--on paper he should've beaten Obama like a drum, but, that didn't translate to actual votes. Of course, there was also massive vote fraud in key states, but, just because a board of directors would happily hire you to be CEO does not mean you can get elected POTUS.
The Grand Old Hag also has negative charisma. When coupled with her proven track record of failure and malfeasance, she should lose every race she enters, but, up to this point, the DNC apparatus seems to be content to let her have the nomination. I am not ruling out shenanigans that put Biden or someone else in her place, but, so far the bribes and blackmail are holding everyone at bay.

You know through the internet we can go and read the actual report to discover context, right?
Here's what the report said for those who want it (semi) firsthand and not paraphrased...
Much of the discussion -- and laughs -- focused on Boehner's views on the current presidential candidates. Segueing into the topic, Kennedy asked Boehner to be frank given that the event was not being broadcasted, and the former Speaker responded in kind. When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a face, drawing laughter from the crowd.
"Lucifer in the flesh," the former speaker said. "I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
Boehner described other Republican candidates as friends. In particular, the former speaker said he has played golf with Donald Trump for years and that they were "texting buddies."
His friendship with Ohio Governor John Kasich, however, was a little more ambiguous.
"[Kasich] requires more effort on my behalf than all my other friends... but he's still my friend, and I love him," Boehner said.
Boehner for the most part accepted Trump as the presumptive Republican nominee, though he did express his surprise at the candidate's success. While he did not praise Trump's policies, the Speaker did say he would vote for Trump in the general election if he becomes the Republican nominee. The former Speaker said he would not, however, vote for Cruz.

When the choice is made and the die is cast you back the play.

I hate McCain the same smart people who hated Palin and now hate Trump explained that McCain was "the smart play" and I pulled for him, I preferred Romney to McCain in 08 but knew he was fatally flawed once Ogabecare was a fait accompli given he is its grandpa.
Same thing the KD Williamson set said Mittens was "the smart play" and once nominated I backed him.

This program began in 1993, 23 years ago. It took 28 years to go from the first flying jet plane (May, 1941) to walking on the moon (July, 1969).
Also, in April 2009, the WSJ published an article stating that the design database had been hacked, resulting in several terabytes of key performance and design information falling into enemy hands, potentially compromising its effectiveness.
One might also note that Britain built and launched an aircraft carrier predicated on availability of the VTOL version of the F-35, which will be useless if this project is scrapped...
One could argue that this is a complete fiasco that imperils military preparedness for not just the US, but many of our key defense partners, including Canada, Britain, Australia and Japan.
Curious as to others' thoughts on the program.

And "I don't like Cruz because Washington is already so disfunctional.
When the GBBG is on the cusp of swallowing all of us whole by ignoring the constitution, some "disfunction" is a good thing.

Will we get another speech/WH anti-gun rally where Obama sheds one perfectly formed tear that inches down his cheek while he bleats about the horrors of gun violence?

McInsane HATES Conservatives and did not want to pick her. His staff hated her too. Rather than help they sabotaged Palin. I think they felt more in line with Obama than her and saw her as the enemy.

Google "Cruz Big Announcement" or "Cruz Picks Carly" . Heck maybe "Carly Sings".
There should be a video clip somewhere.

Simply another example of the waste and destruction of the Federal Government. People should be jail or shot. Or shot and jailed, I don't care.

So many business deals are done on a golf course that it's practically a cliche that anyone on the management track needs to know how to play.

Accurate, and colorful. During that election there was never any rehashing of Ashley Biden's bar fights and coke use.

I'm sure that's true. When Heidi Cruz moved to Texas and had to court clients, she didn't have a problem with golf, but she had to learn about football and hunting. At least those are things i know about.

Levin, who I have listened to for years, has jumped the shark on his support of Cruz. I haven't listened to his show now for well over a week, because I am tired of the nightly diatribe about Trump and his reading of what internet idiots write on Levin's facebook page, etc.
Posted by: Jen the original at April 28, 2016 11:46 AM (391wI)
Same here. I've liked Levin for years, but he has become unlistenable. I tried last night but didn't make it through the first hour.

My dog would always go into a barking frenzy when Levin got excited so I haven't heard Mark for some years.

Sounds good to me. The nasty sticky summer starts here (S. Loozyana) in early March and doesn't go away until December. Late December.
