Are we a nation at the mercy of a food system that has co-opted common sense with the lure of endless and ever-available combinations of fat, salt and sugar? David Kessler, M.D., Food and Drug Administration commissioner under Presidents Clinton and Bush and author of the 2009 The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite, thinks we are. Giant corporations and restaurant chains, he argues, feed on our biological drive for foods that lead to obesity and disease. Kessler will be at UVM to talk about this “conditioned hypereating” and how America can take control on Monday, June 7 at 5:15 p.m. in Ira Allen Chapel. The lecture, followed by a book signing, is free and open to the public. UVM has also invited Kessler to take part in the 2010 session of the Food Systems Leadership Institute (FSLI), a program designed to develop individual and institutional leadership for a 21st Century food system. The university was selected as one of only three land-grant institutions to participate in FSLI, a grant-funded initiative through the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, along with Ohio State and North Carolina State University. This long-term relationship in developing FSLI positions UVM as a leader in striving for sustainability across disciplines. Kessler’s expertise on the nation’s current food system makes him an invaluable contributor to this year’s curriculum.Kessler, professor of pediatrics, epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, was Dean and Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs there from 2003 through 2007 and Dean of the Yale University School of Medicine from 1997 until 2003. Kessler headed the FDA from November 1990 until March 1997 where he acted to speed approval of new drugs and placed high priority on expediting promising therapies for serious and life-threatening diseases. Under his direction, the FDA announced a number of new programs, including the regulation of marketing and sale of tobacco products to children; nutrition labeling for food; user fees for drugs and biologics; preventive controls to improve food safety; measures to strengthen the nation’s blood supply; and the MedWatch program for reporting adverse events and product problems. Among his numerous honors and awards, the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley named Kessler 2008 National Hero for leadership as the nation’s top drug regulator and courage in challenging the U.S. tobacco industry.The talk is sponsored by the College of Medicine, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Office of the Provost and Vtrim-Behavioral Weight Management Program.Source: UVM. 5.14.2010 ###

Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs’ buying and selling 0 Comments Share The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes’ introduction of Alex Meruelo Reddick measures at 6-foot-1 and 237 pounds, and is an “explosive, quick-twitch athlete” based off his scouting report from NFL.com. Of linebackers and defensive linemen, Reddick recorded the second-fastest 40-yard dash time at the 2017 NFL Combine — behind Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers — at 4.52 seconds.Last season, he notched 65 total tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. He also had a five-yard interception and three forced fumbles.A bit on the small side, he is described as having a great ability to move his hips, has quick speed and is excellent in the open field. He also has good eyes into the backfield and is a creative pass rusher.Arizona went defensive in their first-round pick after three quarterbacks — UNC’s Mitchell Trubisky, Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson — were all selected before No. 13 after three teams traded up to draft them.Here is Pro Football Focus’ scouting report bottom-line on the Temple linebacker:Reddick is an explosive athlete that can consistently win the edge when rushing the passer, and has the physicality to get off blockers at all three levels. While teams will certainly want to take advantage of his pass-rush ability first, he also shows the instincts, speed and change of direction to help on coverage drops as well. Because of this, he is a scheme-independent player, and despite his frequent overrunning of plays, he warrants selection in the first round.
