Big Education Ape: Obesity Rate Slowdown in Students - Year 2012 ...
SACRAMENTO?Following years of preventive and legislative efforts to positively affect the health of children, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced today that the rise in obesity and drop in fitness levels have stabilized in California students. The results are in a peer-reviewed report titled "Obesity and Physical Fitness in California School Children," published in the American Heart Journal
"For the first time, we have reached a critical turning point in our battle against the silent epidemic of childhood obesity," said Torlakson. "California was the first state to develop comprehensive obesity prevention and testing programs, which, coupled with the commitment of teachers and parents, are helping us get a handle on childhood obesity in the state."
Dr. William Bommer and his team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, examined the state?s Physical Fitness Test (PFT) data of more than 6 million students in the fifth, seventh, and ninth grades from 2003-08. The researchers found the obesity rate is slowing down when compared to annual increases in prior decades and in other national studies. In prior decades, childhood obesity increased 0.8 percent to 1.7 percent per year. In this study, obesity increased only 0.33 percent per year between 2003 and 2008.
Under the PFT, aerobic capacity is a key indicator of physical fitness and body composition is perhaps the most important indicator of who will develop future health problems. The Bommer study found there were improvements in aerobic capacity, body strength, and flexibility. However, the study also found students entering the fifth grade were more obese every year, and that this early obesity was not reversible within the school program.
"My Team California for Healthy Kids initiative will continue the fight to promote healthy eating and physical activity every day, inside and outside of schools, and throughout the community," Torlakson said. "This fight is critical, because research shows healthy and fit students perform better academically."
The California Department of Education began a series of steps in 1996 to address the increase in childhood obesity and decrease in fitness among the state?s students. The PFT was implemented on an annual basis to assess the prevalence and development of overweight, obesity, and overall physical fitness in students in the fifth, seventh, and ninth grades. In 2004, the Task Force was created, met for a year, and made recommendations that were incorporated into the California Education Code.
The Task Force made three recommendations. First, increase physical exercise to a minimum of 200 minutes for kindergarten through grade five, and 400 minutes for grades six to twelve every 10 school days. Secondly, increase health education to promote healthful eating and physical activity. Thirdly, ensure the serving of healthy foods and beverages at school and prohibit high-fat, high-sugar foods and beverages. Regular audits were performed and then the PFT was used to assess any changes in obesity and fitness.

Meeting biofuel production targets could change agricultural landscape

Almost 80 percent of current farmland in the U.S. would have to be devoted to raising corn for ethanol production in order to meet current biofuel production targets with existing technology, a new study has found. An alternative, according to a study in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology, would be to convert 60 percent of existing rangeland to biofuels.
W. Kolby Smith and colleagues explain that the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) set a goal of increasing U.S. biofuel production from 40 to 136 billion gallons of ethanol per year by 2022. They point out, however, that gaps exist in the ability to establish realistic targets for biofuel production, which the law fills with assumptions about technological developments and the availability and productivity of farmland. In an effort to establish more accurate estimates, they used satellite data about climate, plant cover and usable land to determine how much biofuel the U.S. could produce.
The satellite analysis found that to meet the EISA goals under current technology, farmers would either need to plant biofuel crops on 80 percent of their farmed land or plant biofuel crops on 60 percent of the land currently used to raise livestock. The authors reported that both options would significantly reduce the amount of food U.S. farmers produce. They also noted that research shows that increased farming could lead to more polluted freshwater and accelerate global climate change.

Hands-on with the Panasonic Eluga Power
Following on from the Eluga, Panasonic will bring launch its first high-end smartphone for Western comsumers, the Eluga Power. This device takes the design language of the original Eluga, and builds on it with a 5-inch HD buttonless display, a faster 1.5GHz dual-core CPU and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
We got to play with a very early prototype unit today at Mobile World Congress, and despite some understandable software quirks, we were pretty impressed by what we saw. We've got first impressions after the jump, along with our hands-on video.
