POPSStar Restaurateur Becomes Marathoner I really enjoyed this mini-profile of Joe Bastianich, the business partner to chef Mario Batali. After years of eating at Batali's pace (and gaining 45 pounds), he decided to train for a marathon. While he could manage the grueling training schedule, he just couldn't give up his favorite foods. So his marathon "diet" has included rib-eyes, cured pork jowl and wine. Would you run a marathon if it meant you could still indulge in a few vices?

POPSAndropause and male menopause Andropause sounds like just another new age buzz word, doesn’t it? After all, men can’t have “male menopause,” because they don’t menstruate, and middle aged men don’t experience hot flashes or any of the other symptoms accompanying menopause. That doesn’t mean there aren’t similarities. Sure, men can reproduce later in years than women (there are cases of men having children in their 80s!), but they still experience a decline in hormones. You probably never even gave a moment’s thought before about the health of your testosterone, but the average man has 30% less testosterone at age 50 than he had when he was 20. This drop in testosterone has some serious ramifications to one’s health.

POPS6 Food Mistakes Parents Make
I have a 7 yr old and here are some of my observations that jibe with this article: 1. He is more likely to try a new or questionable food if I leave the room for a bit. 2. He is also more likely to want to try something if I tell him it's so good it's all for me and he isn't allowed to have any (seems to simple, but it works!) 3. I've read somewhere that a new food has to be put in front of a child an average of 10 times before they will try it. I always add in foods that I want my son to try and tell him if he doesn't want it to leave it on his plate. 4. I'm a big fan of food camouflaging. I put thin slices of apple in quesadillas and grate carrots and broccoli into spaghetti sauce, chili and sloppy joes. I also make a mean chicken noodle soup. I use a ton of veggies in the broth and then process and blend them and re-add them to the soup so the only thing he's chewing is chicken and noodles, but he's getting vitamins and minerals from celery, onion, peppers, broccoli, carrots,

POPS How do you make the object of your affections fall in love with you? A person's smell provides clues about their genetic make-up. We are programmed to sniff out those whose genes are different to our own. This apparently helps ensure any children born will have broad immunity against disease. Those looking to impress should also keep conversation to a minimum and concentrate on their appearance. Research shows that 55 per cent of first impressions are based on how we look rather than what we say. Getting off the sofa and out and about is also important. 'Meeting a lot of people is key,' Mr Robinson said. 'Sitting there moping and eating chocolate is not going to get you anywhere.

POPSBreakfast of a Champion? The announcement yesterday that Phelps, 23, winner of a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, would grace Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes boxes instead of the traditional athlete's choice of Wheaties left many perplexed. Frosted Flakes has three times the amount of sugar as Wheaties and 1/3rd the fiber. This doesn't matter much to a virtuoso swimmer who consumes 12,000 calories a day. Still, in a country where childhood obesity is an alarming issue, Phelps' iconic image sharing space with Tony the Tiger sends the wrong message, experts say. "For a guy like Michael Phelps who isn't worried about obesity because he's burning thousands of calories as an athlete...eating Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes every so often is not an issue," Solomon said. The Phelps-emblazoned cereal boxes hit supermarket shelves in mid-September

POPSEclipse-Watchers Worldwide Gear Up For Friday's Event Before there was a scientific explanation for eclipses, myth and mystery was pervasive. Many cultures thought a demon or dragon was devouring the sun. In ancient China, "any unusual phenomenon involving celestial bodies was noted for potential omens, either good or bad, that might befall the current Emperor," according to Sten Odenwald of the department of physics at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. The ancient Chinese banged pots and drums to shoo the frightful sun-eating character away. In India, people would immerse themselves in water to help the sun fight the dragon. Even nowadays many myths persist. In Egypt, as one example, children are often kept indoors with windows covered or shades drawn during an eclipse. Risk of eye injury Eclipses can indeed be dangerous

POPSSynthetic Turf Declared Safe for Play The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has given the green light for children to play on synthetic athletic fields after evaluating the risks of potential lead exposure. The group noted that while lead was detected on some older fields - confirming parents' fears - it didn't reach levels that would cause harm to kids. But take note: CPSC still recommends that children wash their hands after playing outside, especially before eating. Just in case.
