NEW YORK, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrew Weil. Barry Sears. Debbie Ford. Deepak Chopra. Geneen Roth. Mark Hyman. Mehmet Oz. Michael Jacobson. Neal Barnard. Walter Willett. They share at least two things in common: They're all educators at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and they've all chosen to work with the school's founder and primary instructor Joshua Rosenthal to develop students into health counselors. These health and wellness elite are part of the largest nutrition school in the world and the only nutrition school whose curriculum addresses all dietary theories. For more than 15 years, Integrative Nutrition has combined the knowledge of more than 100 different dietary theories -- teaching traditional philosophies as well as modern concepts such as the USDA pyramid, the glycemic index, The Zone, the South Beach Diet and raw foods.

I can find no reason why federal law is being waived for this except that many feel that Title IX, the gender equity law, applies only to how much money schools should be spending on school sports. In a Cape Cod Times editorial today they took the position that it was a good idea. Well, they didn't really stick out their neck; they said it is worth considering. My feeling is this: Schools should try single sex groupings it and see who it helps without tooting it all over the place as the answer. Results, in terms of test scores and emotional output should be studied. Doctoral dissertations should be encouraged to examine it and survey research should be funded to see how much, if at all, it helps. Finally, the question must be asked if it is worth setting aside Title IX and possibly the culture altering woman's movement to do it? We need to know these things before we get too infatuated with separating boys and girls at school.
U.S. candidates get set for 2 crucial primaries
All of us are trying to find the one third we relate to best. We are disappointed by running into the two thirds that most confuse us if not annoy us. Everyone knows these candidates are either sociopaths, vampires or sychophants. People need to vote their conscience if they still have their claim ticket to get it out of the pawn shop. For sure two thirds of us will be disappointed with the results of the 2008 election. .
IT Updated: Smart Wireless Checkout the Key to Faster Shopping
Every consumer has stood in a long line to check out at their favorite store and wondered why the store has 20 checkout lanes and only three open. Self-checkout lines have helped alleviate the hassle of long lines to some extent, but the shopping cart still has to be unloaded and your items scanned before paying. Grocery store chain Stop & Shop, which has 389 locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and New Jersey, has been running a trial of a new checkout service since October that could make standing in checkout lines a thing of the past. The system, called Modiv Shopper from Modiv Media, is a small device that is issued to shoppers from a kiosk in the store after they swipe their loyalty cards. The gadget sits on the cart and as items are added it automatically tallies the cart contents up.
The Broad Contemporary Art Museum's first show is slick, but not new
For months, Southern California's newest art museum has been gearing up for its grand public opening this weekend. It's about time: The Broad Contemporary Art Museum the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's polished, $56 million, Renzo Piano-designed building has been rolling out the previews and invitation-only events for a couple weeks, generating buzz and anticipation throughout the art world. Most of the artwork in the opening show which will hang for one year is from L.A. billionaire developer Eli Broad's personal collection. He also paid for the building, and threw in a $10 million collecting allowance. Showcasing Broad's collection means copious helpings of John Baldessari, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Edward Ruscha, Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol.
Should we buy Michael Pollan's nutritional Darwinism?
Adam and Eve must have been a healthy pair. They got some exercise, ate lots of locally grown fruits and vegetables, and while they may not have been thin by today's fashion standards, they certainly weren't ashamed of their bodies. Now look what's happened: In just 6,000 years, we've abandoned their sensible eating habits for a high-fat, sugar-loaded diet, and turned ourselves into a nation of lard-asses. Goodbye Garden of Eden; hello Olive Garden. Whence our fall from grace? According to Michael Pollan's essay in last Sunday's New York Times Magazine, the serpent wears a lab coat. For decades scientists have been analyzing the food we eat, breaking it down into component parts, and studying how each nutrient affects our health in controlled conditions. More often than not, the "expert advice" that emerged from this work did more harm than good, it seems.
Hillary’s Looming Electability Crisis
But unfortunately the 800 superdelegates, the party leaders, will decide the nomination, and the Democratic penchant for seizing defeat from the jaws of victory doesn't bode well. Maybe they will wake up and smell the coffee. We will see. It's too bad that tomorrow is so definitive because Obama is clearly on an upward trajectory while Hillary is sinking. But it may be too late for that to be reflected in the votes. My only hope is that the superdelegates aren't bound to their endorsements and can switch all the way up to the convention. That's IF Hillary doesn't get the grand total. The good news is that unlike the Republicans, the Democrats allot by vote distribution in each district, not winner-take-all. We live in interesting times. DaSparky, I've never held my nose and I'm not about to start now.
