Report says 'women's work good workout
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A new report on health and fitness suggests that scientists have been underestimating what women do.
Questionnaires on physical activity may focus too much on exercise and sports, in which men tend to be more involved, said the article in the American College of Sports Medicine's journal Medicine, Exercise, Nutrition and Health.
The questionnaires don't pay enough attention to chores performed as housework, said researcher William Haskell, a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Haskell and his colleagues looked at data on 197 men and 160 women, all healthy but undertative and averaging around 56 years of age.
The men and women answered questionnaires about their activity levels. Questionnaire results showed men and women reporting about as much aerobic activity.
But the researchers also checked to see how the questionnaire reports matched up with the amount of activity people actually did. For three days, half of the men and women wore a device that recorded things like heart rate and the amount of movement.
In this measurement, women were better off.
Women spent more time with their heart rates in the range that's associated with moderate-intensity physical activity, the article said.
In fact, women were using about 20 percent more of their aerobic capacity than were men. Men overall were doing slightly more activity than women were but were using less of their greater capacity, Haskell said.
The findings have implications for the effectiveness of a new federal drive on exercise. These women may be doing much of the activities that the latest exercise guidelines recommend as a way to stay out of the highest risk group for health problems such as heart disease, Haskell said.
The recommendations call for 30 minutes of moderate activity a day and say it can be spread through the day rather than done in one chunk.
Police chief sets example, moves to crime-ridden area
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore.—Asnight falls, Portland Police Chief Charles Moose enjoys the evening in his newly renovated house, and light fades through the leaded windows of his dining room.
Outside, the prostitutes arrive, looking for business in one of the city's more crime-ridden areas.
"I think six months ago I would have been in the camp that said that street prostitution has pretty much gone away on Martin Luther King Boulevard." Moore said.
But now he knows differently. Because last year, Moose and his wife, Sandy, paid $80,000 for this two-story bungalow, a vacant rat trap across from a boarded-up house and an abandoned weed-cover lot in a neighborhood notorious for pumps, gang members and drug dealers.
The idea was to put the philosophy of community policing into action, to show his officers that they could have a positive influence in the city's problem areas.
It's too early to tell whether the example is catching on. "To me, it doesn't make any difference where he lives," said one officer, Leo Painton. "I don't think anyone else
cares where he lives."
But it certainly has made a difference in Moose's life. For much of his career, Moose lived in the suburbs, a traditional haven for police officers and other city officials — a place where inner-city problems are someone else's.
"I went through that phase of trying to hide because I was a police officer, and it never did feel good," he said.
One night, the 39-year-old chief confronted two men sitting on some steps to a nearby ballpark smoking crack, a move he later said "probably wasn't smart." The two men left without being arrested.
Moose worked the streets of Portland's bleakest neighborhoods as a patrolman and a lieutenant. His beat included the Iris Court public housing project, which he later turned into a laboratory of sorts to test ideas about community policing.
The 108-unit north Portland complex had deteriorated for more than a decade into a cesspool of crime, poverty and illiteracy where residents had no sense of safety and little idea of how to care for themselves.
As part of the experiment, experts
on economics, education, public safety, housing and nutrition went to the complex. Police set up an onsite station, then went door to door asking people about their concerns.
Within a year, reported crime was down 55 percent, residents were no longer afraid to go out at night and officers no longer dreaded making calls there.
The Portland Police Bureau now uses a similar approach it calls Operation Target, where police draw a circle on the map, ask neighbors about problems, assign officers to solve the problems then report back to neighbors.
The chief's own block seems to be showing improvement. The boards have come off the windows across the street. Neighbors are no longer afraid to keep their doors and windows open. An older woman recently thanked the chief for making her feel safe enough to start walking outside again.
"I hope nothing happens to her. But I also didn't have the guts to tell her it's probably no safer today than it was yesterday simply because I'm here," Moose said. "But she feels like it is, so she's going to get out. She's going to use her neighborhood," Moose said.
Bronzers give new meaning to 'metalheads'
The Associated Press
NORTHADAMS, Mass. — David Champagne and Robert Whipple wanted to revive the rage for bronzed baby shoes. But customers didn't bite.
Until one showed up with the skull of a 260-pound black bear. "He said, 'I want to bronze it for my stepmother,'" Champagne recalled. "I said, 'Sure you do!'"
But he really did.
boar and turtle.
"Turtles themselves are kind of prehistoric. The way it came out, it looked like it was made of solid bronze. Champagne said.
So, with a shrug and a philosopher's "why not," a new business was born: METALHEADS by Mr. Whipple's Bronzing.
Champagne and Whipple, friends who used to work in construction, now bronze animal skulls as trophies for proud hunters or display pieces for taxidermists and outfitters.
Heartened by the budding bull market, they have plated about 30 skulls since February, including that of a fox, wild
In a process akin to making candles, a skull is dipped into, a liquid mix of pulverized metal and resins. Over three days, the coating hardens in a molded shell that, if handled carefully, will last practically forever.
At $10 an inch measured over a skull's length and height, a medium-sized bear skull mounted on wood costs less than $200. Champagne said.
Taxidermist Rick LaBlue of nearby Adams bought a bear, skull for display at his business and another for his father, who had bagged his first bear.
"I think it gives it more of a finished look, more of some, thing that you would put on your mantel — something that gives a little class," said his wife, Phyllis, who helps runs the business.
