Best diet: low calorie
Its obvious that there are many diets that are said to work, such as the low carb or low fat diets. Those are in fact just fad diets. The ultimate way to lose weight is to reduce your calorie intake. The less you consume the less work you have to do to burn it off.

Ice Age Fossils Found in LA
In 2006 fossils were found of a nearly intact mammoth, a skull of an American lion and bones of Saber toothed cats under an old parking lot in the La Brea Tar Pits. This could most likely double the previous findings of other museums. They found a 10 foot long mammoth tusk near an ancient(now under ground) riverbed.

Zimbabwe Using US Currency
Teachers, soldiers and civil servants of Harare, Zimbabwe are now being paid in US dollars rather than the local currency due to the recent inflation on their economy. Though the government did not like the idea of sharing power with the United States so they put the person who thought of this on trial for potential terrorism.

Game Steve Nash.
“You know when people say hey you don't want to swim with sharks, but I'm faster than sharks so its not a big deal.” stated Steve Nash, a brilliant point guard for the Phoenix Suns. Who played against the Nuggets in Denver on April 1, 2008. There have been many great basketball players in the NBA; Jordan, Lebron, Kobe but none quite like Mr. Steve Nash. He won MVP two consecutive years in 2005 and 2006, and was the first person since Magic Johnson to average 18.6 points and 11.6 assists per game.
Before the clock started for warm up Stevie was the only starter who would shoot around with the people who sit the bench. There showing his head is wear it should be, rather than swollen like his cocky team mate Amare Stoudamire. He was ready to play and pumped to earn another “w” on their record. Then finally the game started, Shaq won the tip and the game was on. The Suns started off the game by Steve Nash assisting Raja Bell to a long base line jumper. The game was back and forth like that for the first quarter or so keeping the game close. Then in the second quarter Allen Iverson, the baby that he is, started complaining to the ref that Steve Nash was fouling him when in reality he just couldn't take Nash's intense defensive skills. And before Iverson finished his sentence Nash threw a lob pass to Shaq and in the midst of catching the pass he dunks it putting the Suns in the lead. Causing a ruckus in Nuggets crowd, but for people like Jaynee and I it was exhilarating. This game was fierce mixture of focus and determination. Finally the buzzer went off, implying half time. During half time there was a performance not usually seen at a basketball game, a dog race. In this race the dogs had to go fetch a ball and the come back to their owner. This was unexpected yet hilarious to watch the little dogs fight to take the lead against the long and lanky dogs. Then, because it was April fools day, they played a prank on a contest winner. This lady was wrapped in tape, blind folded and spun around, then she was to roll on a mat the was supposed to have money on it, but it didn't. So she was rolling around aimlessly in front of thousands of people.
As Steve Nash literally skipped from the locker room back on to the court, the game started up again. They were down by four and the Nuggets had the ball. To start off the half the Allen Iverson had the ball who drove down the middle causing people to leave their players and collapse on him making Carmello Anthony wide open for a fancy behind the back pass for about an 18 foot jump shot. An awesome play I must say. Though as an answer to that, Steve Nash brought the ball up the court and drove left and passed the ball backwards threw his legs to Barbosa who shot a three. By the middle of the third quarter it was 82-87, Nuggets and they subbed out Steve Nash to let him rest. As he was on the bench we couldn't help but watch as he stretched, no one can compete to the sculpted arms of Steve Nash. Though standing at 6' 3” he looks like a munchkin next to 7' 1”, 325lb Shaquille O'Neal who sits on two seats because he can't fit on one. And Steve Nash, the fine gentleman that he is gives up his seat and sits on the floor so that his rather large team mate is comfortable. Eventually, the fourth quarter is in effect and Nash is back in. In this quarter there are some threes, some dunks and some sick passes evolving into some excellent basketball. The one and only thing I didn't like about this game was that some of the players on the Nuggets team, such as Allen Iverson, were to worried about looking good and thinking they are the Bomb diggity phresh to play the game, and thats not what basketball is about. Finally the game was over sadly ending in an 107-99, the Suns losing by 8.
Regardless, Steve Nash is the leader of that team. Without him the Suns wouldn't even be on the map, no one would care about them. He passes to the most open player and does it in way that usually ends up with points on the score board and a tick mark under the assist statistics. Nash is the one that makes everyone look good, and thats how he rolls. He's not big headed and quite humorous hes the kind of guy who could brighten up anyones day with just one of his crooked little smiles. “I hear people talking about me so much and I forget I really am great, I'm just like you just 10 times better” ~Steve Nash.

Brains have a love circuit
A woman receives a heart shaped valentine card from her finance, but should that card be shaped as a heart or a brain? A brain, proved Bianca Acevedo a neurologist of Washington, the emotion love is in the head not he heart. Love is spread through four main “circuits of love” in the brain, proved through studies done on unusually large rodents.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090211/ap_on_sc/sci_love_science

Perfectly Preserved
A 2,600 year old mummy was found in Saqqara Egypt, perfectly preserved. This mummy was discovered in a burial chamber 36 feet below the ground. There were 22 other mummies, though they were badly decomposed. This perfectly preserved mummy was wrapped in dark canvass and is shown to be the oldest mummy found that was preserved in such a condition.

Wildfire Phone Warnings
Thousands of people were recently caught off guard with deadly wildfires across Australia, new recorded warnings have emerged. When a fire has begun a recording will go out to everyone, there, giving them warning of the hazardous environment. Some people are worried about privacy issues, but since the latest total of 181 deaths from the last fire that is the least of their worries.

Stealing to feed the Stupid
The reason for raising taxes has caused an uproar of anger for citizens of Los Angeles. Nadya Suleman, single unemployed mother of 6 recently had 8 octuplets after having embryos implanted into her womb. People do not believe this is their responsibility, she was already living off of social security and then she wastes that money on impregnating herself. This is considered “grotesque” and “irresponsible.”

Going From Bad to Worse
A new study on colon cancer has lead to worsening the cancer and putting people into more danger. Doctors thought this treatment would work because in most trials in a small study had shown positive results. The treatment is mixing two, strong and expensive drugs together, supposedly to kill the cancer cells. But for these Dutch patients it obviously didn't work that way.

Digital TV transition Postponed
The congress is moving the transition from analog to digital TV to June 12 rather than February 17. They believe that most Americans that have still have analog television won't be ready for the transition. Even though people have had a full three years to simply buy a converter box. The transition is being made because digital is has better signals.

This Snake Could Eat A Cow
Paleontologists have recently found a fossil of a snake that could have been around 45 feet long and 2,500 pounds. This is remarkable because that is the weight of a bison. This fossil was found in Colombia and they believe that this giant organism fed on ancient ancestors of Crocodiles.

Nike Airs (product review)
Nike Airs, well to say the least, very fly. Nike is a very notorious for shoes. One Nike shoe in particular is the Nike air, this shoe has notably grown in popularity. I have a pair of my own and I love them. Not only are they stylish but they are comfortable and can be used in sports. Nike Airs surely my favorite shoes not only by Nike but of any kind of shoe.
Nike Airs are a flat bottomed shoe with a large Nike checks on the sides. They can be bought in any color imaginable. These shoes borderline perfection. They have high arc support and can be bought in low, mid or high top. Nike Airs are mostly worn as “street shoes” or for casual wear, mainly because they are a somewhat heavy shoe which seems to be their only flaw. They are made of mostly leather, but if you buy the newer Nike Airs they have a plastic outer layer. This is to protect the leather and guarantee a longer life span. Individuality is something that can easily be expressed through these shoes, because the colors, texture and top can vary to a high degree. Whether you are a vibrant person who likes high tops or you are one who is fond of darker colors with a soft leather feel, there is a Nike Air style for you. My pair is orange, mint green and sky blue low top shoe with the plastic outer layer. I have had them for nearly a year and they are still securely intact.
Nike Airs is one shoe with many personalities. This pair of shoes can act as a shoe to just walk around in on a day to day basis. Then flip over and be a basketball shoe the next. The Nike company has a well kept reputation for having great sports equipment and that rep continues on through the Nike Airs. They have great traction so that when you try and stop on a court you do, rather than sliding all over the place like you do with other shoes. They have good ankle support in the low tops so I imagine there is great ankle support in the high tops. This allows you to do more movement without hurting yourself in the process. Nike Airs are very well structured and if treated well they last a good 2-3 years. Most shoe companies can say that for their shoes. For example Jordans, they last around 6 months. I have boughten them twice and both times the seems ripped after just a month of basketball. With Nike Airs that doesn't happen.
At a final note, Nike Airs are a very dependable shoe. They are easily taken care of, stylish and good for not only casual wear but for basketball. They have good traction and they come in many variations, they come in all shape, size and color. Another factor Nike Airs have for them is that they are from Nike, the most populous shoe company in the United States. Which gives them that little boost of credibility.
