Diets: Obesity
Takes Heavy Toll On Youth
United Press International, Sept.
16- For youngsters of yore, who worked off home-cooked calories
while skipping rope, climbing trees or chasing butterflies,
keeping obesity at bay was, literally, child's play. For today's
tykes and teens, whose claim to physical activity may amount
to no more than catching fast food on the run, severe overweight
looms large as a health-crushing threat. (Quote by Jeffrey
Schwimmer M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at
the University of California, San Diego.)

Your Name
Here
La Jolla Light, Sept. 16-Midway through
an enormous fund-raising campaign, UCSD has
tens of millions of benefactor dollars flowing in to help it
fulfill its mission of research and education. Private donations
have always been integral in supplementing the university's
programs. But, giving has taken on a whole new meaning and dimension
in these fiscally austere times, as California's budget paring
knife continues to cut ever more deeply into higher education.
(Quote by Jim Langley, UCSD's vice chancellor
for external relations, and Sarah West, UCSD's
associate vice chancellor for university development.)

How a Simple
Mirror Can Be Used as a Pain-Killer
Liverpool, UK, Sept. 17-Relief could
be at hand for amputees still feeling excruciating pain from
missing limbs - thanks to a trick with mirrors. World-renowned
neuroscientist Professor V S Ramachandran told
a Liverpool audience last night how the brain could be fooled
with a mirror image into switching off the agony. The professor,
from the University of California, San Diego,
was speaking at the Pain Relief Foundation's annual meeting
at University Hospital Aintree.
