Obesity screening for schoolchildren questioned
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Though routinely weighing schoolchildren may seem like a good way to fight childhood obesity, there's no evidence that it actually works, according to British researchers. Right now, many children periodically have their weight taken at school. In the UK, 4- to 5-year-olds and 10- to 11-year-olds are routinely weighed so that health officials can keep track of the nation's obesity problem. But more recently, some politicians have called for weighing all schoolchildren, and giving the results to their parents -- along with lifestyle advice and referrals to health services, when appropriate. If the new report is correct, however, there is little basis for doing so. In a review of the medical literature, researchers commissioned by the UK's National Health Service found that no clinical trials have been done on the effectiveness of routine weight screening in schools.

Benefit Concert Addresses Poverty in Ithaca
Amidst the head-banging and dancing, the focus of the first annual Ithaca Poverty Awareness Benefit Concert was clear: “To create awareness of poverty — that it's real and alive out there," said Christian deBrigard, lead guitarist of Amplication, who played at and helped organize yesterday's event. Aside from Amplication, the event included appearances by Mubsi, a South African R&B artist, and bands Jimkata and Ayurveda. Several speakers also took the stage. deBrigard, a co-founder of Ithaca College's Ithaca Achievement Program, decided to hold the benefit “to make an impact, to raise money," but most importantly, “to do something physically," he said, referring to the music blasting just meters away over Ithaca Commons' Bernie Milton Pavilion. I.A.P. was not alone in planning the event. Students for Economic Equality president Melanie Serrou also helped get the event off the ground.
Diet Choices Can Keep Pets Healthy, Happy
