'A very humbling experience' “It’s a very humbling experience to be a parent and see your children mimic your behaviors,” she said. The study suggests that prevention efforts should target younger children, Dalton said. It was published Monday in the September issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. The study included 120 children, ages 2 to 6. An adult researcher Advertisement led a standardized play activity in which each child, acting as a MSN SHOPPING Barbie or Ken doll, shopped for a visiting friend. A store stocked with 133 miniature items gave the children choices — including meat, fruit, vegetables, snacks, nonalcoholic drinks, cigarettes, beer and wine.

Whatever the content is in front of them, they’re going to pick it up,” Anderson said. RESOURCE GUIDE The children in the study were mostly white and their parents were mostly college educated.

  • Lessons for a Longer Life from the Blue Zones - Dateline NBC - Health Stories - Msnbc.Com 3/23/12 11:15 AM
    updated 5/10/2009 8:04:47 PM ET Hidden somewhere on this remote, mountainous Greek island, may be the answer to one of life's most enduring questions: How can we live longer, healthier lives? Dan Buettner is an author and adventurer researching places across the globe where people seem to live longer. Now he's come to the island of Ikaria in the Aegean Sea, where he says the rate of heart disease is half that of the U.S., and where 20 percent fewer people get cancer. Dan Buettner: The biggest drain on America's health care system are diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. The people here in Ikaria are eluding those diseases at incredibly high numbers. They're getting the good years that we're missing, they tend to live longer lives, healthier, better. Dan has studied longevity hotspots known as "Blue Zones" in Okinawa, Costa Rica, Sardinia, and among the Seventh Day Adventists in California. He's reported his findings in the book "The Blue Zones, Lessons For Living Longer From The People Who've Lived The Longest." Dan Buettner: Because we know only about 20 percent of how long you live is dictated by your genes, the other 80 percent is dictated by your lifestyle. If we can go to these places and methodically tease out what these people are doing we can arrive at a de facto formula for longevity. So what is the formula? Dateline headed to Ikaria to find out. A short flight from Athens and we arrived on the island to meet Dan and his team of doctors, researchers, and videographers who are posting daily reports at bluezones.com.

A fresh new look? Want to lose weight? Or get strong? Then somewhere, there’s an infomercial airing just for you. The infomercial industry is booming, enjoying $91 billion dollars a year in sales, offering safe, reliable products, and making household names of super pitchmen who offer you products to buy from the comfort of your own home. But despite offering thousands of reputable products, the industry does have it blemishes. The Federal Trade Commission has launched an on-going crackdown targeting ads after the FTC found deceptive weight loss ads running ‘rampant’ and more than half of all weight loss ads studied contained at least one false claim. And then there’s Kevin Trudeau, leader of what the FTC calls an “infomercial empire that’s misled Americans for years.” After an ad aired for a product called Coral Calcium Supreme, which claimed to cure everything from cancer to heart disease. The FTC banned Trudeau from infomercials for life. But thanks to a loophole in the settlement, within months, Trudeau was back on the air, hawking his book, which became a national best seller. 1 of 26 From the inside out about:reader?url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/14856571/ns/dateli...

  • Violations. All but a Handful of Those Complaints Reflect National Network
    violations. All but a handful ofthose complaints reflect national network television broadcasts. In spite ofthe congressional authority for the FCC to enforce broadcast decency on the public airwaves between 6am and lOpm, and in spite ofthe Commission's clear warnings to broadcast licensees that the law would be vigorously enforced, and in spite ofSupreme Court decisions affirming the constitutionality ofthe decency law, some ofthe major television networks continue to act with complete and utter disregard for the law. When Viacom-owned CBS turned a Super Bowl broadcast - the single most-watched television program every year - into a sexually-charged striptease, the American public was shocked and outraged. CBS apologized to the public and testified before Congress that it was instituting a zero-tolerance policy for indecent broadcasts. They also entered into a consent decree with this Commission, admitting that they had aired indecent material over the public airwaves but promising not to do it again. But either their promise was hollow or their memories were short, because they aired a graphic teen sex orgy scene just a month after the consent decree was announced. And when CBS was fined by the Commission for the broadcast, they didn't do as they had agreed in their consent decree. Instead they filed lawsuits declaring their right not to abide by the terms ofthe broadcast licenses to which they had earlier agreed to be bound. This does not serve the public interest, and not only should this corporation be denied any additional broadcast licenses, but the Commission should determine whether they are entitled to keep the licenses they currently hold.

  • Journalism Awards Winners Press Release
    NEWS FROM THE NEW YORK PRESS CLUB www.nypressclub.org | @NYPressClub contact: Debra Caruso, DJC Communications 212.971.9708 [email protected] THE INTERNATIONAL CONSORTIUM OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS WINS GOLD KEYBOARD IN 2017 NEW YORK PRESS CLUB JOURNALISM AWARDS "The Panama Papers: Politicians, Criminals and the Rogue Industry that Hides Their Cash" by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists from the Center for Public Integrity, is the grand prize-winner of the New York Press Club's 2017 Gold Keyboard. This year, the NYPC's highest award, presented for outstanding journalism across all media, honors the ICIJ's investigative collaboration of more than 300 reporters on six continents to expose the hidden infrastructure and global scale of offshore tax havens. An additional 90 winners in 38 categories were drawn from among the 460 entries submitted by TV, radio, newspapers, Internet, magazines and newswire newsrooms throughout New York City and the U.S. This year's New York Press Club Journalism Awards also included special categories for coverage of the 2016 Presidential race. The trend towards more entries from digital news organizations, along with crossover work from traditional newsrooms, continued this year. The awards will be presented at the Club's Annual Awards & Installation Dinner - Monday, June 5th at Manhattan's Water Club, 7 p.m. cocktails, 8 p.m. dinner. "There are a lot of firsts this year, and they attest to the esteem in which our awards contest is held by colleagues from across the country," said NY Press Club president Steve Scott. "The number of entries and the exceptional scope of much of the material received, tells us that outstanding working journalism is by no means lagging, even in these tumultuous times for the craft and the industry." The investigation that produced "The Panama Papers: Politicians, Criminals and the Rogue Industry that Hides Their Cash" exposed offshore companies linked to more than 140 politicians in over 50 countries - including 14 current or former world leaders.
