Slate Belt Weekly Flu Report
What's the best workout to burn those extra holiday calories?
MSN - Jeff Rossen
After ringing in the new year with pizza, wings and dip, you may be sitting at home thinking about the best way to lose those holiday pounds. "Her heart rate is up about 170, which is high,'' Gill observed. "To get your max heart rate, it's 220 minus your age, so for her, that's about 184. She's really working hard."Should you spend the money to join a gym, attend a spin class or just go outside for a run? The Rossen team brought in Dr. Tom Gill from Boston Sports Medicine, who put a heart rate monitor on Palumbo that also counts calories burned. Palumbo wore the monitor while performing 45 minutes of three different exercises on different days, starting with a morning jog. "Jogging is going to be a way for a slow, fat burn but if you're really trying to get a big calorie burn, you want to add in a little interval training as well to really get your heart rate up high,'' Gill said. Palumbo burned 394 calories during her 45-minute run, and it didn't cost her a dollar. Next up was a spin class at Boston Sports Club, an intense workout that got Palumbo's heart rate up. After 45 minutes, Palumbo burned 424 calories. "That's a lot of calories just for riding a bike,'' she said. For the final test, Palumbo gutted out a tough workout with a personal trainer. "A lot of people think it's just about lifting weights, but you can turn it into a great cardioworkout just by diminishing the amount of time you spend resting in between each one,'' Gill said. The final tally for her workout with the trainer was 448 calories burned. "I believe it,'' Palumbo said. "That was the hardest workout by far." In the end, the three workouts all came close, with jogging (394); spinning (424) and personal training (448) all within 54 calories burned of one another. Doctors say it doesn't matter which one you choose, as long as you are doing something — and not sitting on the sofa. to Comment Form is loading comments...

Can You Believe It?Eastern brown snake found eating python in Australia
BRISBANE, Australia, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Snake catchers in Australia responded to an unusual call, arriving on the scene to find one deadly snake eating another.
N&S Snake Catcher shared video of a deadly eastern brown snake devouring a carpet python inside a home in Queensland on Monday. "We will be here for a little while," the snake catchers wrote alongside a photo of the strange scene. Eastern brown snakes are known to eat other snakes, including other eastern browns, alongside their typical diet of mice, frogs and lizards, but Sally Hill. co-owner with her husband of N&S Snake Catcher, told ABC News this scene was unlike anything they'd ever seen. "We've never seen something like this before, it's very rare any snake catcher gets an opportunity to witness something like this," she said. The pair stayed at the scene for several hours to allow the eastern brown to finish eating the python before guiding it into a bag. "We just put him into the bag, if you disturb them too much they'll regurgitate their meal and it's just a waste," Hill said.
Pets.....Americans favor kinder approach for cats
(BPT) - Shocking statistics show that nearly three-quarters of the cats who enter our nation’s animal shelters each year, most of whom are free-roaming and un-owned, are killed. Fortunately, Americans’ love of animals doesn’t end with the pets that live in their homes; their care extends to the millions of cats who do not have owners and simply live throughout towns and cities. Across the country a growing number of communities are adopting humane ways to manage these populations and reduce the number killed in shelters.
People favor the idea of trapping, neutering and returning (TNR) cats over lethal injection by a ratio of nearly three to one, a survey by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society reveals. Furthermore, the health and welfare of the cats (38 percent) and public health (31 percent) were the most important factors in their choice, the survey found. Through TNR, cats are humanely trapped and taken to a veterinarian who spays/neuters them, tips one ear as a visual signal that this cat has been sterilized, and then returns the animals to their outdoor home to live out their lives. “Uncontrolled population growth among homeless cats isn’t good for anyone – the animals or the community,” says Gregory Castle, CEO of Best Friends. “Yet adoption isn’t always feasible for cats that are used to living outdoors.” Many TNR advocates use the term “community cats” to describe populations of homeless felines because many of the cats don’t fit the typical image of “feral.” They live in close proximity to, and interact with, humans, accepting food and affection from people in the community. They may be strays who have become lost or were abandoned, or they may be the offspring of strays, having never lived in a human home. Rather than belonging to no one, these cats become companions to people throughout the community. No one is sure exactly how many community cats live in the U.S., but 30 million to 40 million is a widely accepted estimate. “As communities are recognizing that killing the animals is neither humane nor effective – and is quite costly to taxpayers – TNR programs have emerged as a kinder means to reduce populations while also ensuring that free-roaming cats stay as healthy as possible,” Castle says. TNR programs address concerns for public health and the health of the animals. Cats are not only neutered when trapped, but also can be vaccinated against diseases, which helps protect community health. Neutered animals tend to be less territorial and are less stressed over finding mates and rearing young. Volunteers in communities across the country, and many municipalities, operate TNR programs. Un-owned cats are humanely trapped, neutered and vaccinated, then released into the community to live out their natural lives. The programs have proven very effective; a University of Florida study found a decrease of 66 percent in cats brought to a shelter from a ZIP code where a focused TNR program was in place. Programs in Randolph County, North Carolina, and on the campus of the University of Central Florida also significantly reduced the size of cat colonies. The Albuquerque, New Mexico, and San Antonio, Texas, Community Cats Projects, partnerships of Best Friends Animal Society and PetSmart Charities, Inc., have been particularly successful. In Albuquerque, for example, shelter deaths of cats and kittens are down 88 percent, from more than 2,800 during the first nine months of 2011 to 337 for the same period this year. And in San Antonio, where intake numbers were rising dramatically before the program’s launch in April 2012, intake of cats and kittens is now declining sharply, and shelter deaths are 84 percent lower than in 2011. Neutering community cats ensures they won’t produce more un-owned cats, and humanely returning them back into the community allows them to live out their lives. Information to help communities and volunteers launch TNR programs can be found at bestfriends.org/communitycats. “The results of our public opinion survey confirm what we see firsthand in communities around the country – there is widespread support for TNR and community programs,” Castle says. “It’s hardly surprising, really. These programs are not only better for cats, they’re better for communities, too.” Nature.....A winter wonderland for wild birds
(BPT) - You may think warm weather is prime-time to enjoy the rewarding hobby of bird-feeding and bird-watching. Winter, however, is the time of year when birds need you most – and when you have the greatest chance of attracting them to your backyard. Natural food and water sources become scarce, competition for limited resources is fierce and non-migratory birds are looking for a reliable, good quality meal. It’s your moment!
The bird-feeding experts at Cole’s Wild Bird Products offer some timely tips for drawing wild birds to your backyard this winter: * Feed without guilt! There is absolutely no research that shows wild birds will become lazy if you feed them. Nor will they forego migrating in favor of hanging around your backyard. Migratory birds will act on instinct and migrate when it’s time to do so, regardless of food sources. Hummingbirds, for example, will migrate, but it’s often a smart, sensible idea to leave a hummingbird feeder up for a few weeks up for a few weeks after the majority are gone, just in case a straggler needs sustenance. * No matter how urgent their need for food, birds won’t visit your feeder if you fill it with the avian equivalent of junk food. Birdfeed that contains cheap fillers won’t attract or satisfy birds, and they will either look elsewhere for food, or – if they’re really feeling winter’s pinch – eat at your feeder but leave a mess of filler uneaten on the ground. Look for birdfeed that contains quality ingredients and is free of chemicals and other toxins that could harm birds. Cole’s Wild Bird products are especially formulated to attract birds and are all-natural, top-of-the crop seeds free of fillers, preservatives, mineral oils or pesticides. Their top quality feed is nitrogen-purge packaged, just like potato chips, to ensure freshness and insect -free feed. Visit www.coleswildbird.com to learn more. * Seeds are a satisfying, top choice for winter dining among birds, but they also love suet, which gives them much-needed stores of fat. Seeds with a high fat or oil content are best for birds during winter, so look for options like black oil sunflower seed, niger seed, raw peanuts and suet cakes. Cole’s offers Nutberry Suet, an energy-packed powerhouse feed that mixes birds’ favorite seeds with suet, a variety of no-melt suet cakes, and some suet specialty products like Cole’s Suet Pearls and Cole’s Suet Nuts, that birds love. These products provide concentrated energy to help birds make it through freezing winter weather. * While it’s always important to keep your birdfeeders clean, cleanliness is even more vital during winter when more birds are likely to visit your feeders. Cleaning minimizes mold, mildew and other unhealthy conditions that could make backyard birds sick. Consider an easy to clean, hassle-free feeder like Cole's Terrific Tube Feeder, that has a quick-clean feature making cleaning a snap. Remember to throw away any seed left over in the feeder when cleaning, and let the feeder dry thoroughly before refilling, so there’s less chance of seed becoming encased in ice. * Finding fresh, unfrozen water can be more challenging for birds than finding food in the winter. Use fountains or spritzers in your birdbath to attract thirsty birds. You can also use a heated birdbath to ensure feathered visitors never have to contend with frozen water. * Be sure to place birdfeeders with safety in mind. Keep feeders away from structures that could provide a haven for avian predators, like cats or hawks. Be mindful of proximity to your house and the risk that birds might fly into windows if feeders are too close to your home. Winter is a great time to nurture your love of bird feeding and bird watching. As your backyard fills with wild birds, their plumage and songs can brighten dreary winter days. Plus, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping your feathered friends during the season when they need it most.
