| Doctor's weight loss success inspires others on-line
I used an olive oil/apple cider vinegar dressing and it was the best darn salad I ever had. I was so thrilled to be chewing something that it might as well have been a pizza. I was happy. So here are some of the benefits of that 6 day exercise... 1) By the sixth day I had lost ALL cravings for any particular food. It was like my entire appetite was reset. 2) I felt great. After about the third day my appetite went away and I felt quite content with plenty of energy. I slept great and popped right out of bed without the alarm clock. 3) I felt such a sense of pride for having completed what I set out to do. I didn't break the rules even once and that definitely helped build my confidence in myself. It gave me great momentum which is what I wanted.
Web Playgrounds of the Very Young
Forget Second Life. The real virtual world gold rush centers on the grammar-school set. Trying to duplicate the success of blockbuster Web sites like Club Penguin and Webkinz, children's entertainment companies are greatly accelerating efforts to build virtual worlds for children. Media conglomerates in particular think these sites — part online role-playing game and part social scene — can deliver quick growth, help keep movie franchises alive and instill brand loyalty in a generation of new customers. .

This is a holiday treat you won't want to miss. If you didn't get to see our stories about the production on NewsChannel 7 you can watch them here on our website. Videographer Erik Cieslewicz really captured all the hard work and determination behind the scenes. As you will see, these young dancers are well-trained and passionate. Even when their feet hurt and they feel out of breath, they clearly love dancing! That joy shines through in their performance. I also had the pleasure of interviewing Carlos Lopez, a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre, who will be playing the Nutcracker Prince. Carlos raves about the production and Wausau's historic Grand Theatre – which is a high compliment coming from someone who has performed all over the world. Thank you to the cast and crew of “The Nutcracker" for this beautiful start to the holiday season.

Art Treasures in Manchester: 150 years on-Part two
George Scharf, who had just been appointed as director of the new national collection of portraits, agreed that the galleries of living artists gave the most unalloyed enjoyment (ibid, p. 26). Frederick Engels wrote to Karl Marx on May 20, 1857, stating his own forthright views regarding what he saw at the Art Treasures exhibition. Everyone here is now a friend of art and chatters about the paintings in the exhibition. The affair will be plus ou moins a failure, financially at any rate. There are, by the way, some very fine pictures on show, however, most of those by the good and the best painters are only second-rate pieces. Among the finest exhibits is a splendid portrait of Ariosto by Titian. The modern German and French school is very bad and practically unrepresented.

Software Researcher: Video Games Possibly More Analgetic Than Drugs
Even though researchers have increased focus on video games for a variety of research projects, very few of the endeavors have yielded astonishing results. A researcher working at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada claims playing video games could be more effective than using certain drugs when treating chronic pain sufferers. During controlled experiments, professor Diane Gromala reported that participants who played virtual reality games were more comfortable than participants who on pain medication only. "Controlling pain through computerized VR and biofeedback meditation therapies has the promise of providing successful, cost-effective alternatives to pain medications," she said in a statement. As founder of the university's BioMedia Lab, Gromala believes there is a "real demand" for the technology. Gromala adds, "As Canada's baby-boomers enter old age, pain management looms as a huge public-health issue." Patients enrolled in programs to treat chronic pain typically endure physical therapy, counseling sessions and prescription pain-killers.
U@Play: 'WolfQuest' is a free game that combines fun with learning
One of the things that video games can teach is a point of view. For example, from my experience playing "Everquest," I've got a pretty good idea of what life is like as an elf. He has pointy ears and gets beat up a lot. Maybe that's not a good example, but in the free, downloadable computer game "WolfQuest: Amethyst Mountain," you'll get a realistic gander at what it's like to be a wolf on the prowl in Yellowstone National Park. Kids will be tricked into actually learning about nature, conservation and the inner workings of the pack. The game is intended for children 10 to 13 years old, but it's also fun for teens and adults. "WolfQuest" is the first video game funded by the National Science Foundation, and it was created with the goal of showing our video-gamer generation how wolves hunt and socialize in the wild.
