Price said that as of Monday the city had refused to put up signs indicating that large trucks are not allowed on the road as there are already signs on the Bowen and College street entrances that indicate trucks are for local delivery only.The signs, though small, are present, they are also clearly being ignored, as is visible by simple observation of the street.\u201cIt makes no sense,\u201d Price said of the decision, \u201cWe know that because the viaduct is gone the big trucks pass that way.\u201d The St.Francis Street Viaduct was destroyed last summer by a large truck attempting to drive underneath despite the fact that it exceeded the 3.8 metre height limit.\u201cWe agree 200 per cent that there is a problem on St.Francis Street\u201d Price said, indicating that the borough will continue to advocate for the issue, but Beauregard showed a definite frustration with the lack of movement on the situation despite a wide range of possible alternatives.\u201cIts priority # 1 to us in the borough,\u201d Price said, though McLaughlin pointed out that the borough has not been allocated any money this year for infrastructure work.Student\u2019s protest derailed en route SHERBROOKE student from the Cégep de Sher- AA took never made it to the stu- ent demonstration in Montreal on Tuesday; instead, RCMP officers intercepted him en route to the event.According to police, the interception occurred on Autoroute 10 near the Ange-Gardien exit.According to Cpl.Luc Thibault, members of the Integrated National Security Team, of which the RCMP form a part, they had good reason to believe that the un-named student posed a security threat during the ASSE- organized stu- New Provigo store to SHERBROOKE rovigo, a member of the Loblaw Pero announced Wednesday that the Company had started the construction of a new Provigo store in Sherbrooke\u2019s Cité du Parc complex.Located at the corner of King Street West and Jacques-Cartier Boulevard South, the store\u2019s footage will total ap- 0.cea ie cu ac = proximately 43,000 square feet.Set to open this summer, the new store represents a significant financial investment and will mean some new job creation in the region.The services of local and regional construction companies and professional services firms are also retained for various aspects of the project.\u201cWe are very proud to announce an important investment in Sherbrooke , oo: PO 74 4 2 + 230 dent march in downtown Montreal protesting the indexation of university tuition fees.\u201cWe received information on this subject,\u201d Thibault said, \u201cHe could have posed a threat during the demonstration.\u201d The suspect was interrogated by police and subsequently released.If charges are laid, we\u2019ll issue a communiqué,\u201d Thibault added.Police would not reveal if any suspicious or dangerous objects were found on the suspect, who offered no resistance.open at Cité du Parc and to introduce a new store concept that will feature an extensive assortment of produce offering and will provide our valued customers with a fresh, exciting shopping experience,\u201d said Pierre Dandoy, Senior Vice-President of Operations for Provigo and Loblaws in Québec.Following an analysis of Provigo customers\u2019 needs in Sherbrooke, the Company will transfer workers and the activities of two other Provigo stores, located at 2208 King West and 1095 Belvédére South respectively, to the new location.The closing of these two stores will coincide with the opening of the new store.In addition to the job transfers, some new full-time and part-time positions will also be created at the new Provigo Cité du Parc store.PY str rte ENA ete a ELE.®t y TE Page 4 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2013 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT AE a = Khel ed First Impressions - Giving the e people what they want QUTO 006 COM.Matt St.Pierre Hitting the mark right off the bat with a new product is a seldomly achieved feat.Typically, the ramp-up between market launch and mass acceptance takes a few months.Even products as highly anticipated as the 2012 Ford Focus do not always take off the way the Elantra GT has.The 2013 Elantra GT slots itself in the Elantra lineup as the Touring's replacement.However much I love wagons, the Touring never captured the same appreciative audience as did the first 2002-06 Elantra GT.With the American car-buying public allergic to station wagons, the return of the GT makes sense.Although the Elantra wagon (i30 Estate) is offered elsewhere in the world, the hatchback GT positively responds to the needs of the vast majority of North American, roomy-compact car buyers.Hatchback brilliance Its utility aspect is undeniable.The element at the forefront is the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT's huge boot.At 651 liters with the seatbacks in place, it is over 50% larger than the sedan\u2019s.Obviously, the large hatch enables easy access to the trunk.Beyond it, the Elantra GT\u2019s cabin is a bastion of design, ergonomics and modernism that will not be lost on any future owner.All controls are within easy reach and well identified.As such, the entire dashboard\u2019s presentation will appeal to young and old, which is brilliant.The front seats provide ample support and comfort in a mildly European- inspired way.Finding a fitting driving position is easy.The rear bench is capacious enough for three occupants but, as in most cases, is better suited for two.In the materials department, Hyundai scores highly with tasteful plastics and sensible cloth that does not mark easily.All in all, the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT's passenger quarters match or best whatever else is currently available in the compact car segment.More hatchback brilliance It\u2019s more of the same on the outside.Whoever said that aesthetics are a thing of the past in the 21st Century clearly should get their eyes checked (http://Www.auto123.com/en/news/age- can-play-dirty-tricks?artid=146914).The new Elantra GT is hot! My pictures of the car are mediocre at best, but it is still plainly evident that Hyundai designers did not use a ruler when they penned the car.The sedan is already attractive, but if you're like me, the larger the boot-lid and the longer the roofline, the better.And this hatchback does not waste a square centimetre of its surface on blandness.Every body panel is purposefully sculpted, but I must say that the taillights are not well suited to the fluidic sculpture design language used throughout the car.Some may find the overall look to be too busy, but I say to Hyundai: Keep it up.Driver Selectable Steering As a car-savvy person, once behind the handsome, well-formed steering wheel, you might be looking forward to playing with the Driver Selectable Steering button, but you might be disappointed.This highly touted feature changes the level of assistance between Sport, Normal and Comfort steering modes.Thing is, that while I might have gotten excited about this type of gadget in the recent past, I found this feature to be all but pointless now.I turned a few corners in all three modes, eventually set it to Normal and forgot about it.I fear that most 2013 Elantra GT owners will do the same.Goes as the going goes Although this is merely a matter of a button, what cannot be adjusted at the driver's whim is the car\u2019s suspension setup.Far too soft, and suffering from an overdose of body-roll, the Elantra GT's ride does not follow the aura put forth by the car's design and on-road presence.The driving experience is quaint and without fuss.The mellow shock absorbers flatten most uneven roads; sporty anything does not apply here.The brakes fared well in every respect.The 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT's standard 1.8L 4cylinder engine is plenty efficient and powerful for its 1,300 kg (2,860 Ib) frame.At 148 hp and 131 1b- ft of torque, the 4-pot manages respectable acceleration times so long as the driver does not back off the throttle for fear of revving the engine too hard.Max horsepower does ring in at 6,500 rpm.My tested GLS-trimmed car was _equipped with the standard 6-speed.The clutch and stick action are smooth and represent one of the easiest stick-shift cars to drive on the market today.As a comparison point, it\u2019s similar in function to a modern Volkswagen, which is good.The people want The new 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT has already been picked up by 2,100 in the three months since it arrived.In fact, a little more than 1 out of every 4 Elantras sold in that period sport the GT logo.With a starting price of $19,149, the GT is loaded with kit, styling and efficiency, both space and fuel consump- tion-wise.On that last point, I managed an average of 8.5L per 100 km.My tested GLS retails for $21,349 which is fantastic when you consider all the goodies.The Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Mazda3 Sport are all interesting, but if styling and equipment are key, you can\u2019t lose with the Hyundai.Aluminized steel & stainless EEL) 569-9494

national animal sterilization day, the SPA de I\u2019Estrie) and the Department of Animal Health Technology (TSA) of the Cégep de Sherbrooke and veterinarians in the Estrie region have joined to promote the sterilization of pets.\u201cWe decided to work together and unite our forces and resources in pursuit of a common and fundamental goal for all of us, namely to encourage the greatest possible number of Townshippers to sterilize their pets,\u201d said SPA de I'Estrie spokesperson Cathy Bergeron.\u201cBecause there is in the Eastern Townships, as everywhere in North America, a problem of pet overpopulation and given the magnitude of this problem, we believe it is essential to work in partnership.This campaign was highlighted yesterday, with the sterilization of cats free of charge aimed at low-income pet owners.This event took place at the TSA department at the Cégep de Sherbrooke, with the support of several veterinary clinics in the area.\u201cGiven that the overpopulation problem is particularly severe in cats, we have chosen, in the context of this specific activity to focus on cats,\u201d Bergeron added.Animal overpopulation: an exponential phenomenon Few people know this, but this is the reality: a couple of unsterilized cats can begin a line of over 20,000 kittens in just four years.In dogs, a pair can produce 4,000 puppies in seven years.\u201cThis increase is exponential in proportion and we have to face the facts: there are not enough shelters to accommodate all these animals, and in the current context, one more is one too many,\u201d Bergeron says.\u201cWe believe, as do many specialists in the field of protection and animal welfare, that sterilization is the best solution and that, ideally, this should be done within six months of birth, before sexual maturity.\u201d Cathy Bergeron goes on to say that it is also wrong to believe that once the animal sterilized, it will become obese, \u201cit is rather other factors, such as getting too much or unsuitable food or a lack of exercise, which contribute to weight gain.\u201d For the well-being of all, those keeping unsterilized animals undergo multiple in- COURTESY The fight against pet overpopulation is best served through sterilization says the SPA de l\u2019Estrie.Sterilization not only helps reduce the unchecked explosion of animals in the area, but also helps avoid behavioral problems.conveniences including the marking of territory, increased vocalization and fights, annoyances that their neighbours must also put up with.\u201cWith sterilization, the animal is adjusted and we can regulate so many problems at once and improve the quality of life for everyone, including the animals,\u201d Bergeron explained.\u201cAs we argued last November, on the occasion of the launch of our information and awareness campaign: Le Bon Guardian, sterilization must establish itself as the solution of choice,\u201d she recalls.\u201cIf all pet caregivers in the Eastern Townships make this gesture, it will cause a major change in the coming years, both in terms of quality of life for all residents and the fate of thousands of cats and dogs.All together, we can make the Estrie region a place where animal welfare and human- animal relations form a part in everyday life,\u201d said Berg- erom.Eleven local veterinary clinics offered their support to the sterilization day - Clinique de stérilisation des petits animaux de l\u2019Estrie, la Clinique Vétérinaire centrale de Sherbrooke, la Clinique Vétérinaire de Coaticook, la

death.Orford goes after government over water plant Fed up with waiting for its under- performing water treatment plant to be brought up to snuff, Orford Township has filed a $10.6 million lawsuit against the Quebec government and contractors for their failure to correct fundamental problems with the plant.The water treatment plant, which empties into Lake Memphremagog, came on line in 2006 and has never performed up to expectations.Despite the best efforts of the Township, the situation has barely improved over the years and, according to a complaint lodged at Superior Court in Montreal on Tuesday.Besides the Ministry of Sustainable Development, the Environment, and Parks, three engineers and sustainability consultants Les Services Exp Inc.are also named as defendants in the complaint.The Township claims that the plant, designed by the engineers and approved by the government, could never have performed according to criteria and that, as a result, the Township was forced to spend millions trying to rectify the situation.The Township is hoping to reclaim the close to $12 million it says it had to pay as a result of the incompetence of others, including the cost of building a properly functioning plant.Tried to sell victim his own phone, thief sentenced Yan Cléroux-Girard will spend the next two years in a provincial prison.The 21 year old pleaded guilty to a string of breaking and entering, fraud, and unlawfully being at large before Quebec Court Judge Francois Marchand.The sentence conformed to a joint recommendation from defense attorney Caroline Monette and Crown prosecutor Emilie Baril-Coté.Cléroux-Girard and an accomplice committed robberies in 14 residences in east Sherbrooke between August and November 2012.Cléroux-Girard entered houses by removing the screens and once inside, stole wallets, credit cards, smart phones, and vehicle keys.He would return later to steal the cars.He used the stolen credit cards to make purchases at local

the Richmond St.Patrick\u2019s Society is ready to chase away winter blues, prove everyone has a bit of the Irish in their bones and are certain their program designed for every age and taste will prove, once again, \u201cThose Irish sure know how to celebrate.\u201d President Mark O'Donnell never has anything bad to say and he didn\u2019t fail this time.\u201cWe have new events and activities and we're already exceeding the number of participants in the parade this year,\u201d this jolly president quipped.Launched last week at their traditional press conference where Isabelle Gosselin set toes to tapping with her Irish fiddle jig, Charles Cote, normally a serious guy managing Foyer Richmond, fished a harmonica out of his pocket to underline his Irishness musically and Donald Dubuc tootled the flute in the grand Irish style of MacNa- mara\u2019s Band.There were good words from Richmond\u2019s mayor Marc Andre Martel and the assembly was regaled with the list of activities as long as your arm.First taste of that Irish coffee and all things green is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, March 2 at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on College St., where donated articles, mostly green, are loaded on a center table and could include just about anything, all of it green.Folks turn up here at this first event prepared to celebrate St.Patrick from March 1 right to the final brunch when trophies, pictures and prizes are awarded to parade participants.Corned beef and cabbage brings a sobering note to the green auction afternoon, but once started, many folks linger after supper to get a good start on festivities, which are scheduled for every weekend in March.March 9, the annual banquet gets underway at 6:30 p.m.Diners will be treated to Richmond's Irish dancers in full costume and guest speaker Denis Beaudoin.After supper, Dubuc brings in the music to tempt folks on to the dance floor for round dances and square dances designed to keep most folks busy until the

shoe laces.New ways to spend TIM BELFORD the province and you are woefully short of cash.You\u2019ve announced a two hundred and fifty million dollar cut to universities and another five hundred million or so to school boards.What do you do?- Well, if you're the Minister of Education, Marie \u2018Maladroit\u2019, you announce you're thinking of setting up a brand- new, all-day kindergarten program for four-year-olds.Now, this is despite the fact the province already has an entire system, some nine hundred or more, of centres de la petite enfance (CPE).The announcement also came without any indication of how the province would pay for the new level of education, other than the hint that the minister would dump the province\u2019s four-year-olds on the school doorstep, presumably with a lunch box, and let the boards worry about it.When asked why she was busy thinking up new ways to spend money instead of perhaps worrying about how to ease the fiscal strangle hold already on the education system, she replied that the schools perhaps could offer an attractive alternative to those parents who have chosen not to send their children to either a CPE or daycare.These societal out casts, who for some unknown reason have decided to keep their children around for their first four years, obviously need help.The organization that represents the CPEs was aghast.This after all is the same party that created the CPEs in the first place back in 1997.Mind you, the outrage has to be taken with a grain of child care philosophy since the CPEs\u2019 solution would be to expand their own role in early development.And why not?If the province is going to drop another S o here\u2019s a question.You're running fifty or sixty million into the educational abyss, it might as well come their way.It\u2019s also important to note that nowhere in the discussion did either side really put forward a convincing argument that the parents or the children need any more institutional help in the first place.Agreed, the province might need more daycare places, but an entirely new system?The minister suggested that too many children are entering the school programme badly prepared and that they start out \u201c .thinking they are not as good as the others.\u201d Badly prepared?What is badly prepared when you're five years old?Does it mean your math skills are sub par?Or maybe you are unable to distinguish between the ablative and nominative case in either French or English?Most teachers would be happy to get a five-year-old who was potty trained and could tie his or her shoe laces.And what happens when you get the four-year-olds up to snuff.Will it be enough to have them adequately trained and with the confidence to allow them to ease into the hurly burly, dog eat dog world of a five-year-old?Or, perhaps, we will have to go after the three-year-olds who by that time will, in turn, be woefully unprepared to head into kindergarten.Meanwhile, school boards across the province are deciding what programmes and what personnel to axe in order to meet the ministry\u2019s already scheduled budget cuts.As for the Premier, Madame Marois has managed to sweep the university funding crunch under the academic carpet by satisfying no one and solving nothing.Fees will essentially stay the same in constant dollars by indexing them to inflation, the Universities will get no immediate financial help, and the government will set up a working group to study it all.And as a bonus, in the best government tradition, Higher Education Minister, Pierre Duchesne, suggested what we really need is a new Conseil national des universites to keep an eye on university development.With all that's going on in the realm of education, Marie Malavoy\u2019s suggestion that we need better educated four- year-olds is probably her best idea since she decided to vote without bothering to become a citizen.\u2014\" \u2014\u2014\u2014 RECORD PO.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke

Canadian addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke, QC J1G 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA The debt matrix By Kevin Richard our public debt, we\u2019re obliged to recognize that it\u2019s generations in the making.This not only makes the problem huge, but it also makes it hard for us to recognize and grasp a true sense of reality.Most of us have been raised in the debt-financed world of social welfare.We've benefited from services such as health care, education, day-care, employment insurance, government pensions, welfare, and generous parental leave.We thought such things were free or cheap thanks to our generous and benevolent rulers.We were told that here in Quebec Canada, we look out for one another.We pool our resources and we willingly spread the goods around so we can all live a comfortable life.Sure there's a little bit of debt, but it\u2019s not a problem.\u201cNot to worry\u201d we\u2019ve been told, \u201cIt'll get dealt with.It will work itself out.\u201d The good people who told us these things surely weren't lying.After all, they only want the best for us.And so upon hearing these words of comfort, back to sleep we went.What a peaceful sleep it was.From time to time a disruption would awake us from our peaceful slumber.There was a bust.Some sort of economic crisis was going on.Investors, traders, and government officials were in a frenzy over something.But, \u201cNot to worry\u201d we were told, \u201ceverything is under control.\u201d It was apparently part of a very normal boom and bust cycle of the economy.\u201cIt\u2019s just how the economy works.We'll take care of it\u201d they said.They always had a remedy.Some sort of government action plan.Sometimes the remedy was given a cool name like quantitative easing.Whatever they called it didn\u2019t matter.We certainly didn\u2019t have to scratch our heads and figure out what the problems were or how to fix them.All we wanted to do is go back to our peaceful slumber.Have you noticed however, that our sleep is being interrupted much more often than before?It seems like every couple of months there\u2019s a looming crisis that awakes us.Perhaps it\u2019s time to stay awake and to find out what's really going on.If you have the courage to do just that, you'll find out that many of us have been living in a debt matrix our entire lives.Everything we've ever known has been an illusion.Like many illusions, it\u2019s been the side effect of a very powerful drug known as debt money.It turns out we've been drugged since birth.It turns out we're incredibly hooked and it\u2019s killing us.It turns out that we're running out of drugs and we have no idea what sobriety is like.Everything is spinning out of control.Not only are the drugs making themselves rare, but we need more and more of it to get high.Panic is beginning to set in.The blame game is well underway, because our rulers know that the devastating hangover, the withdrawal, is just around the corner.What is the solution?Some argue for Ho examined the enormity of more taxes on the rich.Some say we need to cut spending.Others say a little bit of both.The only correct answer is that there is no painless solution.Regardless of what we do, withdrawal is unavoidable and it will be painful.It\u2019s high time we face it.A recession should be embraced and not resisted.It forces us to purge the poisonous debt and the mal-investment associated with government intrusion in the economy.Once the system is purged we can restructure and rebuild a real economy.One built on actual savings and production as opposed to debt and spending.Since our governments lulled us to sleep with their false promises and their false prosperity, the answer cannot be more government through higher taxes.Such a notion is preposterous after everything we've been through (poorly delivered services, wasteful bureaucracies, corruption, and monstrous debt).A call for more government and higher taxes is based in the same old idea that government knows best and that they will take care of us.It reinforces the claim that we\u2019re too stupid to take care of ourselves and that we need smart and generous overlords to rule over every aspect of our daily lives.This has been a massive failure for which we will pay dearly.The debt matrix is destructive for a variety of reasons.Not only has it created a culture of government dependency now generations in the making, but it also enslaves future generations.For that reason alone such a system is immoral and cannot be permitted to continue.I am certainly not responsible for the excesses of generations past as my descendants are not responsible for mine.Should our descendants incomes be confiscated to pay for our medical and educational debts?No! The fruits of their labour should be their own, for their well-being and for that of their families.The debt matrix claims that it\u2019s only desire is to help the less fortunate.This is a poisonous lie.Government dependency and financial enslavement only serves to benefit the very few who are at the top.A system of freedom, liberty, and individual responsibility is due to come forth.It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s moral and it\u2019s real.In such a system, the lowliest of men are equal to the ruling class in that they are sovereign and therefore free to pursue a better life.The argument that the less fortunate are better off today than they would be in a free society is a fallacy.You can\u2019t compare a deadly drug-induced high to sobriety.You can\u2019t compare a credit card financed party to living within your means.And luring someone into dependency is not helpful to anyone.ever.We have been poor stewards of liberty.We have sold out our values in exchange for goodies and comfortable living.We have left our descendants a legacy of enslavement.And I for one don\u2019t want to be an accessory to it.Kevin Richard lives in Katevale and was born and raised in Magog.He attended Alexander Galt Regional High School, Champlain College, and Bishop's University.+d ' nS.

This raises a very important question: WHY WERE THERE ONLY TWO COOKIES LEFT IN THE BOX! The answer was I had eaten a row and a half the night before.And the same thing the night before that.(Math!) So I ate the two cookies.They were maple leaf cookies, which are the best- shaped of all the cookies and perhaps the only truly sensible reason to emigrate to Canada.Thankfully the dearth of cookies was countered by the availability of vulcanized rubber candies that had been placed in a bowl on the kitchen table by someone clearly wanting to kill me = sour cherries and sour worms, which taste terrible but also: sugar.Before they drove off on their scooters, science had reminded me that you should have no more than 40 grams of refined sugar a day.But until they start labelling sour worms, this information doesn\u2019t help me, so I will ignore it.Get to work, worm-labelling lobby! Look! My wife is making chocolate chip cookies.I think she\u2019s the one who put out the bowl of candy, too.Look! My life insurance is paid up!

three cookies and later those two more cookies and the one after that.I was taking one (six) for the team.My belly, the hero.Pin a medal on me.At this point I cannot say definitively how much sugar I

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Located at the CHUS\u2014Hôtel-Dieu, the medical/ surgical obesity treatment clinic proposes lifestyle changes.\u201cWe offer tools and support so patients themselves can make choices enabling them to improve their health.No draconian diet, no restrictions, but gradual changes in eating habits and physical activity are involved,\u201d explained Dr.Marie-France Langlois, endocrinologist and Lead Medical Staff at the CHUS\u2019 Ambulatory Metabolic Unit, of which the medical/ surgical obesity treatment clinic is a part.Losing weight, one step at a time Referred by their doctors according to very precise criteria, patients are first invited to a group information session.The clinic's philosophy and the available care and services are explained in detail.This session is followed by an individual meeting with a nurse, who writes up the person\u2019s medical history and draws a portrait of the situation.The nurse may ask for further tests or examinations if needed.A physician then conducts an assessment and ensures that existing complications (such as diabetes or high blood pressure) are effectively controlled, as the case warrants.Afterwards, the patient regularly consults a nutritionist and a kinesiologist, a physical activity specialist.With their support, the patient then sets personal goals for change.He/she is invited to join the \u201cKeeners\u2019 Club (Club des motivés)\u201d and to attend group meetings, which take place twice a week and address different topics related to diet, exercise, and the psychology of changea® Som, , Su Centre de Fondation recherche clinique WwCHLS About 60% of Canadians are overweight while 23% are obese.That\u2019s almost one in four.Since obesity can lead to major health complications and is a growing problem in society, the CHUS has set up a clinic that helps individuals regain control of their weight and experience better quality of life.After six months, the patient\u2019s health status is reassessed by the entire team.If the patient\u2019s condition has improved in a satisfactory manner, the nutritionist and kinesiologist will lengthen the time between meetings.Eventually, the person's family physician will take over.Some patients will need additional help, however, such as consultations or group activities with a psychologist.Bariatric surgery, an alternative for certain patients \u201cIn about 25% of cases, we resort to obesity surgery, known as bariatric surgery,\u201d continued Dr.Langlois.\u201cIt is considered as a solution if certain criteria are met, only when it\u2019s clear that lifestyle changes will not be sufficient, and the weight problem is having a very negative impact on the person's health.Surgery comes with its own constraints.For example, those who have the operation will no longer be able to drink carbonated beverages, beer, or any other \u2018sparkling\u2019 liquids.Individuals over the age of 60 and those who smoke cannot have this operation.\u201d Three types of bariatric surgery are performed at the CHUS, the most common being the gastric bypass.This involves reducing the size of the stomach and altering the route of part of the intestines so the body stores less of the food ingested, which facilitates weight loss.THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2013 Page 9 Pd Centre hospitalier C H U S universitaire ) > de Sherbrooke With you, for Life TRA SRI PN Research is omnipresent at the clinic.\u201cResearch has already enabled us to fine-tune a broad range of services effective in helping people control their weight on a long-term basis.We are now conducting other research projects.In particular, we are studying the impact of physical activity on bariatric surgery: to what extent can exercise improve one\u2019s health status - during and after the operation?Additionally, we evaluate our organization on an ongoing basis because we want to be sure to provide the best clinical practices,\u201d concluded Dr.Langlois, who is also a researcher at the CHUS\u2019 Centre de recherche clinique Etienne-Le Bel and professor at the Université de Sherbrooke.The team at the medical/surgical obesity treatment clinic.

Kansas City, Ace first major acquisition by the iefs since Andy Reid took over as coach.A person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the Chiefs have agreed to a deal for the 2005 top overall draft pick who lost his starting quarterback job in San Francisco to Colin Kaepernick last season.The person spoke on condition of Es.anonymity because the trade does not become official until March 12, when the NFL's new business year begins.Another person familiar with the deal said the 49ers will get a second-round draft pick in April, No.34 overall, and a

company, says Consumer Reports.With research coming in at breakneck.speed in recent years, even experts have a hard time agreeing about which fats we should consume, and in what exact proportions, to improve our health and prevent chronic disease.Here\u2019s what the strongest evidence says about healthy choices.\u2014 Are saturated fats still \u201cbad\u201d?Yes, the best available evidence suggests that saturated fat found in such food as meat, full-fat cheese and cake is still worse for you than the unsaturated fat in vegetable oils, nuts and avocados.According to a recent report from the United Nations, there is convincing evidence that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat reduces the risk of heart disease.There\u2019s an important caveat: When cutting saturated fats, substitute with healthful alternatives, not refined carbohydrates, which are found in such items as white bread, pizza and snack foods.Otherwise, you probably won't reduce your risk of heart disease and may well increase it, according to the U.N.report.\u2014 Which are better: mono- or polyunsaturated oils?Nutritionists can\u2019t agree about this one, though they do agree that unsaturated fats are better than saturated ones.On the one hand, there is plenty of evidence to support the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which calls for generous amounts of olive oil, a mostly monounsaturated fat.But when researchers make direct comparisons of mono- and polyunsaturated fats, they generally find stronger evidence of a cardio-protective effect for polyunsaturated fat, found abundantly in safflower, soybean and sunflower oils.\u2014 Should I consider the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio?Omega-6 and omega-3 are two types of polyunsaturated fat \u2014 a \u201cgood\u201d fat.Many studies suggest that diets rich in two omega-3 fats \u2014 eicos- apentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosa- hexaenoic acid (DHA), found in high levels in fish \u2014 are linked to lower rates of cardiovascular disease.To maximize those heart benefits, some experts recommend limiting omega-6 fat found in sources such as corn oil and soybean oil, which have become common in the human diet only in the past 100 years or so, and getting more omega-3s from traditional sources such as fish.\u2014 Can fats affect cancer risk?Consumer Reports notes that it\u2019s your body fat \u2014 not the fat in your food \u2014 that you should be worrying about most when it comes to cancer risk.According to a comprehensive 2007 review of studies by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research, there is no strong, convincing evidence that eating more or less total fat, or any individual type of fat, has any significant effect on cancer.Since obesity is one of the few diet-re- lated factors that is strongly and consistently linked to a risk of cancer, the best diet for cancer prevention may be one that can help you maintain a healthy weight.\u2014 Are coconut and palm oil good for you?The consensus is that those oils are loaded with cholesterol-raising saturated fat.But dissenters say there is emerging evidence that tropical oils, especially coconut oil, behave differently in the body than animal-derived saturated fats, and might have underappre- ciated health benefits.What to do?Consumer Reports says that your best bet for the time being is to limit consumption of those oils but keep an open mind.\u2014 How does processing affect the benefits and risks of oil?Oils may be processed using mechanical pressing or heat and chemicals, a method that can affect its flavor and potentially its health benefits.Olive oil, for example, is prized for the complex flavors that are strongest when the oil is fresh from the fruit.That's why higher grades (extra virgin and virgin) are given only to mechanically pressed oil that hasn\u2019t been treated with heat or chemicals.Those premium oils contain higher quantities of antioxidants, which are eliminated or reduced from lesser oils during processing.Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m., Text only: $15.00 (includes taxes) WEDDING WRITE-UPS, OBITUARIES:

I'd suggest \u201cNot an Artist\u201d purchase a nice large book or portfolio that most of these works could fit in and present it to his folks as a gift, along with a family photo to hang on the walls instead.The parents would still be able to see and share the work they love, but it would remove the skin-crawling weirdness their adult son feels.\u2014 D.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
