iPhone 4S six months later
The editors and friends of iMore and Mobile Nations weigh in on the reliability and relevance of Apple's 2011 iPhone 4S six months after release
6 months ago Apple released the iPhone 4S. Some of us bought it immediately. Some of us waited. Some of us still haven't decided. Since Apple only releases one new phone a year -- if that -- the longevity of any new iPhone model is really important. So we polled the staff here at iMore, our compatriots from the Mobile Nations network, and our friends from the podcasts to find out how the iPhone 4S was holding up. Are we still happy? Is it still our one and only? Or with all the hot new devices on other platforms, are we harboring any secret lust in our hearts?

How many calories does it take to reach childhood obesity - Health.am
? Children's Health ? ? Obesity ? Apr 10, 2012
In order for the nation to achieve goals set by the federal government for reducing obesity rates by 2020, children in the United States would need to eliminate an average of 64 excess calories per day, researchers calculated in a study published today in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. This reduction could be achieved by decreasing calorie intake, increasing physical activity, or both. Without this reduction, the authors predict that the average U.S. youth would be nearly four pounds heavier than a child or teen of the same age was in 2007-2008, and more than 20% of young people would be obese, up from 16.9% today.
?Sixty-four calories may not sound like much individually, but it?s quite a consequential number at the population level, and children at greatest risk for obesity face an even larger barrier,? says Y. Claire Wang, MD, ScD, assistant professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University?s Mailman School of Public Health and lead author of the study. ?Closing this gap between how many calories young people are consuming and how many they are expending will take substantial, comprehensive efforts.?
The daily difference between how many calories young people consume and how many they expend through normal growth, body function and physical activity is known as the energy gap. The 64-calorie difference between consumption and expenditure is an average for the population. Dr. Wang and her colleagues note it is not intended to represent a change for any individual young person, and that many young people would need to see even greater reductions.?
In particular, children and teens who currently have higher obesity rates would require larger energy gap reductions to reach the obesity rate goal. For instance, based on their current obesity rates, white youths would need a 46-calorie reduction, on average, in their energy gap to reach the goals. But given their higher obesity rates in 2008-2010, the average reduction needed to close the energy gap for Mexican-American youths is 91 calories and, for black youths, it is 138 calories. Youths in lower-income communities also need greater reductions than their peers in higher-income areas, again due to higher rates of obesity. Additionally, an earlier study by several of the same researchers found that the problem is especially acute for teens who are already overweight.
In order to project how many young people would be obese in 2020, Dr. Wang and her colleagues analyzed decades of data on obesity rates. Height and weight among U.S. youths ages 2-19 were taken from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 1971 to 2008. Based on the trends, the authors projected that the childhood obesity rate would be about 21% in 2020, up from 16.9% now.
Dr. Wang and her colleagues then compared the projected rate of 21% to the goal of 14.6% set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in a 2010 report titled Healthy People 2020 and calculated how much of a daily energy gap the average youth would need to close in order to achieve that goal. A childhood obesity rate of 14.6% has not been seen since 2002.
?Reaching the 2020 goal will require significant changes to calories consumed and expended,? said C. Tracy Orleans, PhD, co-author of the study and senior scientist at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. ?Because we know that children and teens who already are overweight or obese will need larger reductions, and that preventing obesity will be more effective than treating it, we must focus our attention on the policy and environmental changes likely to have early, broad, and sustainable impacts.?
The authors outline several policy strategies that could help to close the daily energy gap for American youths. For instance, they point to research showing that:
replacing all sugar-sweetened beverages in school with water and not consuming any additional sugary beverages outside of school could reduce the energy gap by 12 calories per day;
participating in a comprehensive physical education program could eliminate 19 calories per day among children ages 9-11; and
engaging in an after-school activity program for children in grades K-5 results in an additional 25 calories expended per day.
In a commentary accompanying the study, William H. Dietz, MD, PhD, director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, writes that the research ?provides important data that highlight the promise of prevention and raise the challenge of treatment in children and adolescents.?

Steven L. Gortmaker, PhD, Professor of the Practice of Health Sociology at Harvard School of Public Health was senior author of the study. Funding for the study was provided by grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U48/DP00064-00S1) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

While the big trends were for dating and quiz shows, MKR was snapped up by the Americans following its sizzling performance on Seven.
Kinetic producer Chris Coelen, who bought the MKR rights, said: ?Very rarely does a new format so quickly rocket to and sustain such massive success and My Kitchen Rules has taken Australia by storm. It is a universal format that we believe will be embraced in the US.?
The sale was headline news on industry website Deadline Hollywood, which ran a clip of recent series winners Jennifer ?Princess? Evans and Leigh Sexton.
Seven?s plans to bring back The Price Is Right, with Larry Emdur, may also be a winner ? with game shows the top MIP-TV trend.
Such is the secrecy surrounding deal-making in Cannes that only a select group of TV executives were invited to a ?secret room? at the Carlton Hotel, where one suite was staged as the set for a ?fresh take? on The Wheel Of Fortune.

What About Estate Planning Lawyer Charlotte? : The Wise Directory
April 10, 2012 ? Posted in Family?
There are many people who think about estate planning and when it comes to this, you are basically dealing with planning your assets for their disposal the minute that you die. Estates have corresponding values that can be affected by taxes and other things and this is why you need the help of an estate lawyer. Plenty of people rely on the highly skilled estate planning lawyer Charlotte to help them when it comes to the designation of their estates which usually goes to their closest family members.
In the USA, one of the biggest cities is Charlotte which lies in North Carolina with a population exceeding a million people in the city and metropolitan areas. Because of its reputation as a Global City, Charlotte is home to a lot of estates that come with excessively high price tags. NY has the biggest banking center in America but that of Charlotte?s is the next in line.
Aside from Charlotte, Huntersville and Fort Mill are other major cities that can be found in North Carolina. You are dealing with the 19th largest city in the States when it comes to nearby Huntersville. If the latter was a city, Fort Mill on the other hand is a suburb with picturesque landscapes.
In North Carolina, owning land is a breeze if you get the services of a competent estate planning lawyer. Reducing the value of what you own need not be a problem as well. Something that property owners in North Carolina want to avoid is diminishing value for their assets especially if they are considering passing these on to other family members.
There is nothing attractive about attending to various plans and paperwork for when you will die. An attorney should always be brought in if there is something that concerns the transfer of assets that needs attending to. Finding highly qualified estate planning lawyer Huntersville is as easy as locating one in both Charlotte and Fort Mill.
There are plenty of things that estate planning entails including powers of appointment, property ownership and beneficiary designations not to mention standard wills and trusts. Other than children, beneficiaries may be other members of the family, friends or a charitable institution. The thing about planning is that the person works on a living will and this will contain all details on the properties and their beneficiaries.
When it comes to estate planning, this involves the handling of matters concerning laws and taxations. Considering how estate planning revolves on these kinds of legalities, you should really try your best to work with competent lawyers or accountants that go by the names Chartered Financial Analyst, Trust and Estate Practitioner, or Chartered Trust and Estate Planner. Even after you pass on, you still have to pay taxes and the job of the estate planner is to see to it that such taxes need not be paid so that your intended beneficiaries can get your assets in full.
Aside from guaranteeing the transfer of assets and limiting tax liability, it is also the responsibility of the estate planning lawyer to protect the family. Family remains to be the most important asset in life over and above estates, properties and wealth. When assets are transferred to family members, this is more of a protection thing than a wealth transfer thing.
The job of providing property owners with the right kinds of wills, trusts, and powers of appointment is something you can expect from competent estate planners. Templates won?t work. Flexibility is something that is important when it comes to this.
When it comes to the estate planner, he or she also provides the most secure advice. By working with a competent estate planning lawyer Charlotte, you can expect services that are so good that they outlive the clients. Aside from a lawyer, you have an accountant and a guidance counselor when you hire an estate planner.
Everyone deserve the most reasonable advice with regards to wills, trusts, and powers of appointment. So never fail Look for estate planning lawyer Charlotte.
