Those extra calories we eat, whether protein, fat, or carbohydrates, all result in the same extra padding of body fat, but how much lean muscle we put on is dependent upon the amount of protein we consume. |
In the study, 25 volunteers agreed to live in a research lab for two months and consume 1,000 extra calories a day with varying amounts of protein. Those who were randomly assigned to eat a low-protein diet -- with just 5 percent of their calories from protein -- gained seven pounds, about half as much weight as the tw... |
In the low-protein group, the body siphoned off 95 percent of the excess calories to pad the body with more fat, burning off 5 percent as heat while shedding muscle due to a lack of protein. In the higher protein groups, the body used 50 percent of the extra calories for fat while burning off 40 percent as heat and dep... |
The study underscores the limitations of relying solely on a bathroom scale to monitor weight over time, especially as the body ages and begins to shed muscle and accumulate fat. “Many people can be at a healthy weight on the outside with a high percentage of body fat on the inside and that can lead to many health prob... |
Where the findings could prove to be most useful is for dieters who want to accomplish the ultimate hat trick of shedding pounds without losing precious muscle, a feat most can’t accomplish. |
One eight-ounce glass of milk has 8 grams of protein, while three ounces of lean beef, chicken or fish has about 21 grams; a cup of dry beans has 16 grams, and an eight-ounce container of yogurt has about 11 grams, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |
Only about half of Americans, Blackburn added, get adequate amounts of protein throughout the day, and as a result of this deficiency we may find it harder to retain muscle and fight the mid-life spread. |
“I can’t comment on it,” said Redman, “but what I found most intriguing was the differences in weight gain among participants within each group.” Some in the low-protein group, for example, gained just 4 pounds overall while others gained 32 pounds. There was far less of a range in the higher-protein groups, with those... |
If researchers could tap into the secrets that allow some individuals to gain less weight from overeating, she said, that could eventually provide some novel solutions for the obesity epidemic. |
The Vegas Golden Knights had an NHL-high 12 players who set single-season NHL career highs in points last season. |
Center William Karlsson had the biggest improvement, increasing from 25 points (six goals, 19 assists) in 81 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2016-17 to 78 points (43 goals, 35 assists) in 82 games for the Golden Knights. His 53-point improvement was the greatest increase among those who played at least 25 NHL ga... |
The key for Karlsson was a big increase in shooting percentage. Based on his previous career shooting percentage of 7.9 percent in the American Hockey League and 7.7 percent in the NHL, Karlsson would have been expected to score 14 goals on 184 shots in 2017-18. Instead, he scored 43, with an NHL-high shooting percenta... |
Colin Miller led Vegas defensemen with 41 points (10 goals, 31 assists), up from 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in 61 games for the Boston Bruins in 2016-17. That increase ranked second among NHL defensemen who played at least 25 games in 2016-17, behind John Carlson of the Washington Capitals, who improved by 31... |
Since his NHL debut in 2015-16, the Bruins and Golden Knights have outshot opponents 2,712-2,114 in 5-on-5 shot attempts with Miller on the ice, for a SAT of plus-598 that ranks 20th in the NHL, and Miller's teams have increased their share of shot attempts from 50.39 percent to 56.20 percent, for a relative SAT of plu... |
Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury had an NHL career-best .927 save percentage last season, which ranked sixth among the 56 NHL goalies who played at least 20 games. That's up from .909 in 2016-17, which ranked 41st of the 54 goalies to play at least 20 games. That improvement of .018 was the fifth largest among those to pla... |
His save percentage was .031 higher than the combined .896 save percentage of Vegas' four other goalies, which was the second-largest gap behind Antti Raanta of the Arizona Coyotes (.041). Fleury's .738 save percentage in the shootout ranks 10th among the 60 active NHL goalies to face at least 20 attempts. |
Vegas' .828 shootout save percentage in 2017-18 ranked third in the NHL, but its shootout shooting percentage of 20.7 percent ranked 29th. That may be one reason Vegas re-signed forward Brandon Pirri, who is 10 for 19 in the shootout; he's the only player on the roster with more than two career shootout attempts that h... |
THE Australian's national chief correspondent Hedley Thomas and producer Slade Gibson have won the nation's most prestigious award in journalism, the Gold Walkley, for their record-breaking true crime podcast The Teacher's Pet. |
The pair also won a Walkley Award for investigative journalism for The Teacher's Pet, which looked into the disappearance of Sydney mother Lyn Dawson in 1982 and has been downloaded 27 million times worldwide. |
The Walkley judges described the podcast - the subject of a Hollywood bidding contest - as "a masterclass in investigative journalism". |
"The investigation uncovered long-lost statements and new witnesses, and prompted police to dig again for the body of Lyn Dawson," they said in a statement. |
Thomas wrote and recorded an average of 15,000 words a week, as new informants came forward and the investigation unfolded in real time. Gibson added original music and audio production. |
Dawson disappeared from Sydney's northern beaches in 1982, leaving two young daughters behind. A year later, her ex-footballer husband Chris Dawson married high school student and babysitter Joanne Curtis. Two inquests determined Lyn was probably murdered by her husband, but no one was ever prosecuted. |
Thomas also won a Gold Walkley for his coverage of the Mohamed Haneef case in 2007, making him only the second person to win the coveted journalism accolade twice in the award's 40-year history. The other was cartoonist Ron Tandberg, who died in January. |
The Australian's Jon Kudelka also won a Walkley for his cartoon "From The Heart", which showed a middle finger emerging from Uluru after the government's response to the indigenous Statement from the Heart. |
Kylie Stevenson, Caroline Graham and Eric George of The Australian were awarded the Walkley for their radio/audio podcast Lost in Larrimah, which examined what happened after the disappearance of Paddy Moriarty from the Northern Territory town. |
The Australian's publisher, News Corp Australia, won four other Walkley Awards. |
In Sydney, The Daily Telegraph's Sharri Markson, Christopher Dore and Kylar Loussikian won scoop of the year for their exclusive story in February that then deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce was expecting a baby with former staff member Vikki Campion. |
Mr Joyce was married at the time to Natalie Joyce, the mother of his four daughters. Mr Joyce resigned as deputy prime minister and Nationals leader weeks later. |
At the time, Mr Dore was the editor of The Daily Telegraph but recently he was appointed editor-in-chief of The Australian. |
The Daily Telegraph's Anthony De Ceglie and Brad Clifton were also awarded a Walkley for best headline for the Barnaby baby story, "Bundle of Joyce". |
Leo Schlink, from Melbourne's Herald Sun, won a Walkley for sports journalism for his story on racing figures doping champion horses in some of Australia's biggest races, possibly including the Melbourne Cup. The Courier-Mail's Leisa Scott also won for feature writing. |
Walkley Advisory Board chairman Angelos Frangopoulos said he was impressed with the calibre of this year's winners. |
"It's so exciting to see innovative formats for journalism reaching huge audiences, and the diversity of our winners is a ringing endorsement of the quality of Australian journalism," he said. |
He noted there were 1329 entries this year. |
Mr Frangopoulos, who has been at the helm of the judging board for three years, will be replaced by Lenore Taylor, editor of The Guardian, next year. Claire Harvey from The Sunday Telegraph will be deputy chair. |
Mr Frangopoulos recently became chief executive of Sky News Arabia after working as chief executive of News Corp's Australian News Channel. |
Previous Gold Walkley winner Kerry O'Brien will become chair of the Walkley Foundation next year, replacing Quentin Dempster. It was also announced that the first round of Walkley Public Fund grants would be distributed next year. |
SCP Inc., the paper mill in Ružomberok, had a pre-tax income of 133 million Sk for the first nine months of this year, a significant drop compared to 480 million Sk profit in the same period last year. The decline is attributed to Deutsch mark's exchange rate swings since about 99 percent of all SCP's exports are direc... |
Egyptians in Tahrir Square erupted in cheers after Muslim Brotherhood-backed candidate Mohamed Morsi was declared the winner of the country’s election Sunday morning, becoming the Arab world’s first elected Islamist head of state after more than a year of popular uprisings, the Post reported. |
Morsi beat out old-guard candidate Ahmed Shafiq by a slim margin in a runoff vote. |
This is the first time in my life I see a single Egyptian happy with the results of the presidential elections. First time they ever matter. |
The announcement comes one week after the run-off ended “and three days after the elections commission initially pledged to declare the winner, a delay the body said was needed to review hundreds of complaints lodged by the campaigns. Both candidates — the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi and former prime minister Ah... |
In the lead-up to the announcement, Egyptians waited in tense anticipation. The results were scheduled to be released at 9 a.m. EST, but were delayed by several hours. |
Anticipation in Tahrir is incredible. People gathered around nearby tv and radio sets, constantly refreshing their twitters, tension. |
The results were at a news conference held by the electoral commission in Nasser City. |
Farouq Sultan, head of the election commission and chairman of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt, opened with a long, winding speech, parsing in tedious detail “the outcomes of some of the legal challenges made during the electoral process,” the BBC reported. |
Presidential election commission chief Farouk Sultan said Morsi won by a narrow margin, winning almost 52 percent of votes cast, the Post’s Ernesto Londono reported. |
Morsi’s organization was outlawed under the presidency of former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, and “a Morsi loss could have generated serious political instability; Brotherhood supporters had vowed to continue their demonstrations if that was the outcome, saying it would have amounted to electoral theft,” Londono wrot... |
The Chinese firm's products are poised to compete with the best of Samsung and Google. |
Cheap but powerful smartphones and TVs from Chinese tech giant LeEco will go on sale Thursday at national retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. |
It's a big step for LeEco, which only entered the US market last month and initially announced plans to sell its products exclusively through its own website, www.lemall.com. Moving to third-party retailers at the beginning of the busy holiday shopping season is the latest sign the company is gearing up for a major US ... |
With a $399 retail price, the flagship LePro 3 smartphone is a fraction of the cost of the new Google Pixel XL. At least on paper, though, it matches the Google handset's power. Specs include a quad-core Snapdragon 821, Qualcomm's latest and greatest mobile processor. There are 4GB of memory, 64GB of onboard storage, a... |
At $4,999, LeEco's flagship uMax85 isn't exactly an impulse holiday gift, but it does include 12 free months of DirecTV's new streaming TV service, as well as one free year of LeEco's own streaming content platform, EcoPass. The 85-inch uMax85 supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, and even includes a GPU and quad-core CPU t... |
The uMax85 also has several smaller cousins, the cheapest of which is the $649 Super4 X43, also a 4K HDR-enabled display. |
In addition to online sales, LeEco phones will be available at brick-and-mortar wireless dealers, and its TVs will be on display in Best Buy stores. That presence, as well as the decision to extend LeMall rebates—as high as $1,000 for TVs—to customers who buy from third parties is likely to result in significantly high... |
The text, "Judged by God," was deemed too incendiary for the Republican National Convention, but billboard companies across the country responded by donating their services. |
A controversy over a giant sign that would have advertised the Aug. 16 DVD release of God's Not Dead 2 at the Republican National Convention two weeks ago has earned the movie about $25,000 in donated advertising. |
The filmmakers had agreed to pay $64,000 for their sign in Cleveland, but emails from Orange Barrel Media said the text "would not be approved. Too incendiary." |
Orange Barrel didn't say where the objection came from, but the sign was supposed to say: "I'd rather stand with God and be judged by the world, than stand with the world and be judged by God." |
After the story of the billboard controversy broke in The Hollywood Reporter, Ike Wingate, the CEO of Wingate Media Group of Nashville, Tenn., offered the filmmakers 20 small indoor signs and an outdoor billboard for free, then asked members of the Independent Billboard Operators Association if others might want to do ... |
About a dozen billboard companies donated space in nine states, including Florida, Arkansas, Virginia and Georgia. |
"It was an overwhelming response that I never would have predicted," said Wingate. "I'd guess that would have cost them about $25,000. It's some major coverage they are getting, so that might be conservative." |
Among the donors are National Outdoor Advertising, Look Advertising, Patriot Outdoor and InterState Outdoor. |
God's Not Dead 2 stars Melissa Joan Hart as a teacher under fire for quoting scripture in the classroom. |
"As a Christian, I have no problem helping them get their message out, and we strongly believe in freedom of speech and of religion," said Wingate. "Billboards get plenty of bad press, so any time we can be instrumental in getting positive messages out into the community, we're going to do that." |
A state appeals court ruled Monday that Gov. George Deukmejian of California exceeded his authority when he tried to abolish Cal-OSHA, the state program that enforces job safety for millions of workers, and ordered it reinstated. Mr. Deukmejian vetoed $7 million from the $140 million state Department of Industrial Rela... |
The court ruled that California's constitutional separation of powers gives the legislature authority to set policies. |
DIETRICH, Idaho – An Idaho boy has returned home after a terrifying bout with a flesh-eating bacteria that doctors feared would kill him. |
Slade Dill, an eighth-grader at Dietrich School near Twin Falls, was playing tag at school Sept. 18 when he cut his knee. |
The Twin Falls Times-News (http://tinyurl.com/oxrmy59) reports what initially appeared to be "no big deal" became far worse: Slade's leg began to swell, and CT scans showed the infection had spread to his abdomen and chest. |
Doctors quickly flew him to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, where he was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. |
A runner, Slade could have lost his leg. |
But doctors didn't amputate — because they didn't expect him to live. |
Slade defied their expectations and is projected to make a complete recovery. |
Police have been handed 'Chinese-style' powers to enter private homes and seize political posters during the London 2012 Olympics. |
Thanks for posting this, Barbara . . . |
This is the NEW WORLD ORDER's agenda for all of us! Remember, power in numbers, divided we fall, let's all stay united, worldwide. There are more of us than there are Bilderburgs or Bilderbugs. |
Thanks for posting this; and thanks, Just C., for fwding it to me. As I pointed out in the comment I posted on the actual article after visiting the site: this 'protocol' is part of the unbroken history of police-state tactics in the UK - reminiscent of the mass-internment "policies" in the North of Ireland; and, it ex... |
OUR TIME WILL COME - MITAKUYE OYASIN - WE ARE ALL RELATED - FIGHT FOR LOVE AND JUSTICE! |
Oh Carole, I had to laugh when I saw the title of your forward to me I said to myself "WTF!!!" and then when I opened your message that was your opening comment too!!!! Great minds...what can I say. Free speech, it ain't really free at all. This is one reason why I will never watch or support the Olympics in any way ev... |
Did anyone note the date when this act was passed? |
The powers were introduced by the Olympics Act of 2006, passed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, supposedly to preserve the monopoly of official advertisers on the London 2012 site. |
Did the British people object then? How come it was passed? How come it slipped through? |
Whatever do the Bu$h people have to do with Acts being passed in the U.K.? |
I fear that the British have become incredibly apathetic..reduced to moaning and voting.We have in the past 40 years gone backwards,as our civil liberties,union rights and once public services have been eroded in the privatisation lovin,community squashing ,free market. |
We had so much in the post war period..but have gone down a US style road..with our two major parties at elections ,offering a grim contest of right wing vs centre right. |
We still have more fairness than the US..but always the corporate scum,are looking to erode what working class people with guts and brains fought for. |
It is a fight,it is an international fight and it is one that we will all lose,unless the zombiefied quasi-derelict consumers wake up. |
We had around 2 million people march against Cheney's War in Iraq..so the potential is still there in Britain. |
As for this tale re the olympics..it is again a case of the police being used to make the world safe for expropriation.The police do some good work in Britain..some solid community work..but increasingly they are becoming more paramilitarist.. |
OMG! They must have sneaked this in quietly...usually thru distraction. |
So much for democratic rights. Sounds like this one must have been slid under a pile of stuff and gone unnoticed. I can't imagine a democratic nation not standing up against this before it received Royal Ascent. |
Thanks for forwarding this to me Just C and for posting it Barbara. Looks like a case of politics gone wild.What a bunch of sneaky no-gooders. |
Thanks to Barbara and Carole, this really is UNFU*&ING believable. How did it get through? Because the British press seems to be as lousy as the American press, isn't that supposed to the function of the press---to inform? I had to laugh that Scotland Yard has no plans to use this measure, they don't need plans to use ... |
Thanks Barb for this story. Unbelievable! |
Thanks everyone for the comments, support, and information (yea, Eureka M.!). We need to be aware of these inroads on our security; I can see them coming to the U.S. in the near future. Bleah. |
This is how they do things, sneak a little clause in a budget or some other thing. Next thing you know it is ingrained in the system and then everyone goes WTF. They are sneaky and I think the whole lot. It saddens me that this is happening in Britian and our Country as well. So many Countries have looked to our system... |
The only thing(s) that are being torn down is the greed, selfishness, fear and abuse of power of the old paradigm. The time of truth, unity and sharing is here, hang on for a minute, lol.:) thx barbara! |
I love these comments -- and the growing awareness . . . |
