Website Calculates Snacks To Help Kids Make Healthy Choices
Before letting your kids go to the movies or play video games, you probably check the rating to make sure it's appropriate for them. So why not do the same thing for the snacks they eat? It's estimated that 1 of every 3 children is now overweight in this country* and some experts say snacking on the wrong types of food is a big part of the problem.

UFC is not coming to Hawaii until at least 2009
The Ultimate Fighting Championship's much-anticipated debut event in Hawaii won't happen until at least July of next year according to UFC President Dana White. White, who told the Star Bulletin six months ago that he was close to finalizing a deal to hold a show at Aloha Stadium this year, said he will wait until a recently passed bill to regulate mixed martial arts goes into effect. House Bill 1866, which establishes many new rules to help legitimize the sport, was enacted into law last July, but isn't effective until July 1, 2009. "Thirteen new states regulated (mixed martial arts) last year and Hawaii is one of them, so we want to go over there, but the regs aren't done," White said. "We're not like all these other cheese dog shows that go over there before the regs are done." The sport is currently overseen by the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and Regulated Industries Compliance Office, which handles licensing and issues permits required to hold events.
