Yo-yo dieting studies flawed
CHICAGO — Yo-yo dieting, or losing weight only to gain it back, doesn't appear to be dangerous after all, researchers reported yesterday.
The Associated Press
Flooding in southern Texas causes deaths, destruction
The panel said in The Journal of the American Medical Association that it's more dangerous to be overweight than to worry about unfounded health risks from vo-vo dieting.
a task force from the National Institutes of Health reviewed nearly 30 years of data and found much of it flawed.
Past research indicated yo-yo dieting may disrupt metabolism, increase body fat and lead to heart problems and other health risks.
CONROE, Texas — The sun shone for the first time in four days yesterday as hundreds of National Guardsmen drove boats and big trucks through filthy, waist-deep floodwater to help people driven from their homes.
The Associated Press
As the rain stopped, people in this city 40 miles north of Houston, piled into dump trucks 20 at a time or used boats to travel through water 3 feet deep to retrieve what few, undamaged belongings were left in their homes.
Tree branches and an occasional car floated by as people navigated down flooded streets.
left her at the end of her street. "Everything we've got is lost and gone."
"You see that white building sticking out of the water? I live right across the street," said Neva Goff, 59, choking on a truck's diesel exhaust as it
The death toll climbed to nine yesterday with the discovery of a body caught in a barbed-wire fence in Polk County.
Guardsmen watched over flooded neighborhoods to prevent looting. They also delivered clean water to people and used their communications equipment to help agencies coordinate their activities. There were no immediate reports of looting.
More than 10,000 people were driven from their homes by the floods, and 53 evacuation centers were opened in 18 counties across southeastern Texas after the heavy rains that began Sunday night pushed rivers, lakes and streams out of their banks.
THE NEWS in brief
WASHINGTON
Imports, exports soar; China, Japan buy less
America's trade deficit shrank by 12.9 percent in August as exports hit an all-time high, a reflection of increased foreign demand for U.S. products ranging from aircraft to cigarettes.
But imports rose to a record level as well, with two chronic trade sore spots, Japan and China, selling more of their goods to Americans than ever before.
The combination left the country with an August deficit of $9.74 billion. While down from July's deficit of $11.19 billion, the August imbalance was still the second highest since the government began compiling monthly data on trade in both goods and services in 1992.
"It is clear that our trade deficit is getting bigger, and one of the disturbing trends is that China is becoming another Japan," said Lawrence Chimerine, chief economist at the Economic Strategy Institute.
WASHINGTON
Trooper L.D. Brown, who has had a falling out with Clinton, said he believed the information he provided in recent months to Whitewater investigators helped corroborate former judge David Hale's allegation that Clinton pressed him to make an improper federally backed loan.
Trooper: Clinton pushed for loan
An Arkansas state trooper said yesterday that he told investigators in the Whitewater case that he witnessed a meeting in the mid-1980s during which then-Gov. Bill Clinton pressured a municipal judge for money.
Hale has alleged that Clinton pressured him to make a $300,000 Small Business Administration loan to Susan McDougal, one of Clinton's partners in the Whitewater real estate venture.
For 15 years, Hale ran a Little Rock company that made loans guaranteed by the SBA. He recently was convicted of two felonies in the Whitewater case and is now cooperating with prosecutors.
LOS ANGELES
Superior Court Judge Lance Ito denied the defense request.
LOS ANGELES Ito denies O.J.'s bail request
Concerns about pretrial publicity in the O.J. Simpson case mushroomed yesterday as the judge asked broadcasters to hold up interviews with the author of a sensational new book about Simpson's ex-wife, and defense lawyers asked that the trial be delayed and Simpson be freed on bail.
Earlier, it made public letters asking three broadcasters to delay interviews with Faye Resnick, whose book, "Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted," alleges that Simpson stalked his ex-wife and threatened to kill her if she slept with another man.
IOWA CITY, Iowa
Cheerleaders fear dead chickens
Remember the good old days when you could enjoy an occasional dead chicken? At the University of Iowa, they do.
Security has been stepped up at Kinnick Stadium during football games, and the cheerleaders have been moved away from the student section because of debris raining down from the stands. And it's not just dead chickens, either.
It's coins, marshmallows, bottles and eggs.
"Back in the old Fieldhouse they used to use a starter's gun at basketball games, and you'd have this real loud 'Bang!" recalled George Wine, Iowa's sports information director emeritus.
"Every once in a while some smart-aleck student would bring a chicken and throw it from the upper deck. Time that baby just right, you know, about two seconds before the gun, and bang-splat! That chicken would land right on the floor."
The school's Public Safety Department, worried that cheerleaders might be hit by something in mid-stunt and get seriously hurt, increased security during Iowa's homecoming game on Oct. 8 to deter the bad eggs from throwing objects.
