Deciphering diets
Wed, August 27, 2008 @ 2:38PM
Are they all the same? Not really, but they all work, if that is, a person can stick to them. The hardest part is finding one that works for you, as each person is not only different in body type and metabolism, but in lifestyle as well. The current fad diet to hit the market is the Flat-Belly diet, developed by registered dieticians along with Prevention magazine, claims to attack the most difficult of all areas where fat accumulates, the mid-section. The diet is based on the theory that by following a low calorie program rich in what the dieticians call MUFA’s, a person can not only lose weight, but will target the dangerous belly fat. Doctors and nutritionists have long been saying that the apple-shaped figure that holds a majority of weight around the mid-section, is the most dangerous of all and is harder on the heart than a person who carries their weight below the belt. MUFA stands for monounsaturated fatty acids.

Assigning blame
Tue, August 26, 2008 @ 11:52AM
There is always talk in the newsroom about how Youngstown and Warren are the same, because they are sister cities. At times that is true, but also at times nothing can be further from the truth. I was struck by this fact Saturday at a candlelight vigil in a robbery/homicide earlier this month at a restaurant on North Park Avenue in Warren. There was a palpable sense of anger and frustration, as there normally is at these types of events, but one thing that struck me was the sense that those in the crowd were affixing blame to the city of Warren. I have covered these vigils before, in Youngstown, which is definitely no stranger to violence, yet I have never come across the attitude that it is the fault of the city leaders when a henious crime is committed. Maybe people in Youngstown are immune to violence and killings, and perhaps think their anger towards their officials will fall on deaf ears, so why bother? But that was not the case Saturday.

Foreigner is no mere `Juke Box Hero' at Eastwood Field
Fri, August 22, 2008 @ 0:06AM
At this point in its career, it would be easy for Foreigner to turn itself into a jukebox hero – play all the hits, play ‘em like the records and cash the checks made possible by nostalgic baby boomers. And Foreigner had enough hits to fill a jukebox – 16 top 40 hits in 12 years, and that doesn’t include another half dozen songs that got heavy airplay on rock stations. But it’s clear Mick Jones (the lone original member left in the group) isn’t interested in reliving his past every night. The band didn’t radically alter the hits at its concert Thursday at Eastwood Field, but they weren’t slaves to the originals either. For those who thought Foreigner was a little soft compared to its arena rock brethren back in the day, this is a much harder-rocking lineup with the bottom end being provided by former Dokken bass player Jeff Pilson and drummer Jason Bonham (son of John).

Tough calls
Tue, August 26, 2008 @ 10:42AM
This isn't the favorite week of the year for NFL head coaches. With roster cuts having to be made by 4 p.m. Tuesday and 4 p.m. Saturday, coaches have to hand out bad news to about 20 players per team. Some will be good enough to play in the league but are with teams that have plenty of depth. Tuesday's cuts will reduce rosters from 80 to 75. Saturday's cut will slash rosters to the regular-season limit of 53. The cuts that Browns coach Romeo Crennel will make shouldn't be too difficult. That's a stark contract to other years, when the the depth chart was a mess throughout training camp. Among the toughest calls for Crennel will be in the secondary. A number of candiates battled at cornerback to join Eric Wright, Brandon McDonald and Terry Cousin. The safety spots appear set with Sean Jones, Brodney pool, Nick Sorensen and Mike Adams. The problem at the safety positions concerns he health of Pool and Jones.

The preview is out
Wed, August 20, 2008 @ 3:16AM
The Tribune Chronicle's annual football preview hits the streets today, Wednesday, Aug. 20, and it is positively full of information about dozens of area high school football teams, college teams from Youngstown State, Ohio State, Kent State, Mount Union, Hiram, Thiel and Westminster, as well as the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. We think it's another product our readers will find informative, entertaining and useful in the days and weeks to come. If there is one disclaimer to make, it is that because of tight printing schedules, the information in our preview magazine is compiled beginning in late July and into early August. It is printed in advance so we can give the glossy cover and full color throughout that our preview has had since 2006. Because of the early print date, some things are left up to simple fate.

Safety Forces funding: Where does it end?
Mon, August 25, 2008 @ 3:46PM
I have a hard time understanding why the city of Warren is having trouble maintaiing adequate staffing levels in its police and fire departments. It seems as if this is a never-ending saga. Where does it end? I dug around in the library here at the office and found two interesting stories from about the time the last levy vote was made permanent. There were others, but you will get the idea. Here are excerpts and quotes from a story printed Nov. 7 after the November election: -- Having a permanent tax stabilizes the entire city budget, (Mayor Michael ) O'Brien said. That also will mean more and better candidates applying for jobs and a lower bond rating for the city, which will translate into lower interest rates when Warren borrows money. -- Had the tax failed, O'Brien said there would be massive layoffs in the police and fire departments, but the effects would have been felt throughout the city.
