| Courrières Mine Disaster (1906) |
| The Courrières mine disaster, the worst mining accident in European history, killed 1,099 miners in Northern France. It is generally agreed that the majority of the deaths and destruction were caused by an explosion of dust which swept through the mine, however, it has never been ascertained what caused the coal dust to ignite in the first place. A group of thirteen survivors, later known as the rescapés, was found by rescuers twenty days after the explosion. How had they survived? Discuss |

It is a clearly written account of political economy at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and is considered the first modern work in the field of economics. In it, Smith postulates the theory of the division of labor and emphasizes that value arises from the labor expended in the process of production. What was Smith's concept of "the invisible hand"? |

| During the American Revolution, the Lenape, or Delaware, group of Native Americans found itself divided on the issue of which side, if any, to take in the conflict. Some members elected to fight against the Americans, while others—particularly Christian converts—remained neutral. In 1782, an American militia seeking revenge for Native American raids on frontier settlements killed 96 Christian Delawares in Gnadenhütten, Ohio. What was done to the two boys who survived prior to their escape? |

| Low Fat Waffles |
| One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was a Belgian waffle maker. So much to my kids' delight, I've been making waffles every weekend. Now waffles are not the most healthful of breakfast foods, but with a little tweaking, it's possible to make delicious low fat waffles such as these. Top them with fresh fruit, and a little powdered sugar or low fat vanilla yogurt.

| Eat Right For Your Genotype |
| How can we explain why two people following one particular diet program, whether it's low fat or low carb, have varying degrees of success? Well, a few of us have said for a while that one dietary approach doesn't fit all, and it seems that there is some substance to this.
Preliminary research* carried out by Interleukin Genetics and Stanford University suggests that we have a genetic predisposition to benefit from a particular type of diet. In my case, a low fat diet seems to work pretty well. For others, it's low carb. Instead of squabbling over who's found the Holy Grail of diet success, perhaps we should take a simple genetic test to figure out which kind of diet would reap the most benefit, not only in terms of weight loss but also in terms of clinical measures related to weight loss, such as blood lipid levels. The study, which focused on 141 overweight premenopausal women following four different diets, while small, is intriguing.
Those who followed the right diet for their genotype lost 5.3 percent of their body weight compared to 2.3 percent in those who were eating the "wrong" diet for their type. The differences were even more marked in those following the lowest-carb and the lowest-fat varieties of the four diets: 6.8 percent weight loss in those eating the right diet for their genotype compared to 1.4 percent in those who were not.
If further research bears this out, then paying $150 for a genetic test may seem like a bargain compared with the expense of diet pills, meal replacements, or medications to treat weight-related health conditions.

| Water for Chocolate |
| If chocolate is your downfall, there may be some good news. Scientists at Birmingham University in England have developed a chocolate bar that replaces 60 percent of the fat content with water. It's bit more complex than it sounds: scientists employ a method that produces stable cocoa butter by connecting water particles with cocoa butter crystals. With an identical melting point to chocolate, and an apparently authentic taste, smell and mouth feel, this low-fat chocolate sounds like a promising alternative to the real thing. The question is, will it sell? Please vote in my poll, and feel free to add your comments.

| Spicy Turkey Meatballs |
| Spaghetti and Meatballs is a favorite in our house, but it's not exactly a low-fat, low-calorie meal. I shave fat calories by substituting lean ground turkey for ground beef, and using a little less meat overall. To boost the nutritional value of the meal, I serve the meatballs with a low-sodium tomato sauce and whole-wheat spaghetti. Since meatballs are pretty much a weekly staple, I like to keep them interesting by messing with the flavorings a little. These slightly |

| Chicken, Kale and White Bean Stew |
| Comfort food needn't be heavy and unhealthy. It can be filling and nutritious like this chicken, kale and white bean stew. I love the earthiness of kale, which adds its own flavor to this stew. Plus, it makes a nice change from spinach, which tends to be my default green. As for the white beans, I like to use cannellini beans, but navy beans would be just fine.

| Soft Chocolate Cherry Cookies |
| Some folks are very particular about cookies. There are those who prefer a nice, crisp cookie, others who prefer a slight crunch with a chewy inside, and people like me who enjoy soft, tender cookies. And to me, soft, tender cookies seem to be just the thing to bake for your sweetie for Valentine's Day, especially as they're dark and chocolatey, with a slight sweetness imparted by the chopped dried cherries. So if you're looking for a low-fat way to get or give a chocolate fix this Valentine's Day, these chocolate cherry cookies should do the trick.

| How Much Are You Really Eating? |
| How many calories did you eat for breakfast this morning? You may be tell yourself you ate a 110 calorie cereal, but unless you're measuring the suggested 3/4 cup or, in some cases, 1 cup serving, you may be pouring twice as many calories before you even add milk. If you ate one of those handy microwaveable pots of soup for lunch, did you realize that many of these pots contain two servings? If you ate the whole bowl, your 90-calorie soup you thought you ate turned out to be 180 calories, with double the amount of fat, cholesterol (if any) and sodium.
As much as we might scan a label to see how many calories are in a food, and how much fat, cholesterol, salt and sugar is inside, we seem to gloss over the amount of food those numbers refer to. Serving sizes tend to be much smaller than we imagine because we've become so accustomed to eating ever-larger portions of food. Food manufacturers often package multi-serving items as single units. In some cases it's obvious from the size of the package, but it's not always clear cut -- those soup pots are one such example.
We tell ourselves we're eating only this many calories and that much fat, but unless you're an expert calorie counter, the reality is very different. Soon food labels will be overhauled to make consumers more aware of how many calories the package really represents, and perhaps serving sizes will be adjusted to bring them in line with reality. Key data will appear on the front of the package instead of hiding on the back or side. What we do with that information, of course, is entirely up to us.

The finding suggests that the previous seven-year decline has stalled, says a report in this week's issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Among current smokers in 2006, 80.1 percent (36.3 million) smoked every day, and 19.9 percent (9 million) smoked some days. About 44. |
