The good news: a little prevention, compliments of both common sense and improved water technologies, can stem the tide. Produced for Siemens

Octubre de 2007 -- Según la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (ADA), la comida tradicional latinoamericana puede ponerle en riesgo de contraer diabetes. Esta es una mala noticia, especialmente porque los hispanos son 1,5 veces más propensos a contraer diabetes tipo 2 que las personas blancas no hispanas. Dos millones y medio de latinoamericanos mayores de 20 años sufren diabetes según la ADA. No obstante, para mantener la salud no es necesario que eliminen por completo los platos tradicionales latinoamericanos de su dieta. Sólo se deben hacer algunos cambios en su alimentación para seguir gozando de sus comidas típicas favoritas de manera deliciosa y saludable. Quienes padecen diabetes deben hacer más actividad física y seguir una dieta balanceada, controlando la cantidad y el tipo de carbohidratos que consumen. Producido para AARP

Whether you are filing for the first time or have been filing for years, it is not easy to keep up with all the latest tax law changes. If you are not aware of all the changes and how they affect your tax return, you may end up leaving money on the table. According to the IRS, over $246 billion dollars was refunded to individuals last year alone. There are a lot of new deductions and credits this year. Your tax preparer can help you navigate through all the new rules to help maximize your tax refund or reduce the amount you may owe. For example, if you provided support last year for a child in your household who is unrelated to you, you may be able to claim a deduction for that child due to new rules for dependents. There are also new laws that can help if you have been affected by a home foreclosure. If your home has been foreclosed on, you may qualify for a tax break on the amount of debt forgiven.

Students were challenged to take inspiration from a choice of five cars and design for a specific category such as Career, Sportswear, Eveningwear and Avant-garde. The competition challenged designers to think outside of the box, using the car's shape, technology, color and interior as the foundation for their inspiration. Among the winning entries, a sporty, "armor-like" ensemble emulating the rugged exterior of the Hummer HX Concept; a sleek, one-shoulder cocktail dress reflecting the 3-door design of the Saturn Astra; a jacket with a dramatic neckline reminiscent of the distinctive flared fender of the Pontiac G8 GT; a sophisticated suit adapted from the curvaceous lines of the award-winning Chevrolet Malibu; and a glamorous gown combining the classic beauty and powerful edge of the Saab 9-3 Turbo X.

Childhood as we know it is over and children of future generations could enter adulthood lacking vital life and social skills because of a lack of âfreeâ play, according to a study released by Persil. The global report, which marks the launch of Persilâs Every Child Has The Right campaign, was conducted in conjunction with leading experts in youth development and highlights the erosion of childhood. The report found 85% of UK mums are concerned that children are growing up too quickly and 64% believe children are being deprived of childhood through lack of free play. In response to this study, Persil is launching its Free Play Initiative 2008, a nationwide scheme aimed at helping parents find inspirational ways for their children to express themselves through imaginative, unstructured play. This culminates in the support of Playday, the national annual celebration of childrenâs right to play, on 6 August 2008. Produced for Persil.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Americans drove 62.6 billion fewer miles since last November than the previous year. As budgets tighten and car pools and public transportation gain popularity, drivers often put off routine car maintenance. Although replacement and servicing of many components are based on miles driven, vehicles that are driven less still need basic care. Performing regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns and save drivers money. Industry experts recommend four maintenance items while driving a vehicle less: 1. Check tire pressure monthly and rotate using specified manufacturer's maintenance schedule. 2. Check and maintain fluid levels of engine coolant, engine oil and wiper fluid. 3. Check battery life, replace or charge your current battery and make sure battery terminals are corrosion-free. 4. Check exterior conditions of a vehicle if it's sitting outside, removing leaves and snow pile-up. Produced for General Motors
