Mideast riots less religious than political


The Arab Spring produced a complex matrix of political instability in Libya and Egypt, with enormous economic and social reverberations in those nations and their geopolitical relationships and strategies.

A study conducted by the University of California, San Diego last fall concluded that even when fast-food menus contain healthy choices, people don’t choose them — and only one in six customers pays attention to the calorie counts fast-food eateries are required to post in some municipalities, the British Medical Journal found. “They’re not really interested in ordering more items,” Riggs says.

Her weight shouldn't matter, but it does to him | StarTribune.com

Her weight shouldn't matter, but it does to him | StarTribune.com

Dear Prudence: I'm a healthy woman standing 5-foot-5. Before I got married, I weighed 115 pounds. I didn't gain a lot of weight during pregnancy, either. But since our daughter was born (she is now 3), I've had little time for exercise or looking after myself. I now weigh 145 pounds. My doctor says I'm still in the healthy range of BMI and I feel OK. The problem is my husband, who constantly tells me I need to lose weight. At first he tried to say he was worried about my health, but later admitted that he's not as attracted to me as he once was. I am hurt and angry by this, and I am even more determined not to lose weight to please my man. We've argued a lot over my weight and appearance and now neither of us is attracted to each other. Should I lose my weight or should he change his attitude?
