Johns Hopkins research on obese mice finds that the impact of dieting and losing weight benefits the heart health of the young, but not the older ones

Newswise — In a study of the impact of weight loss on reversing heart damage from obesity, Johns Hopkins researchers found that poor heart function in young obese mice can be reversed when the animals lose weight from a low-calorie diet. However, older mice, who had been obese for a longer period of time, did not regain better heart function after they were on the same low-calorie diet.

(Gloucester City News Feb. 28, 2013 issue) Members of the Gloucester City Planning/Zoning Board last week approved two applications for bulk variances, allowing the property owners to add on to their respective houses.

The first was for a property in the 200 block of South King Street, owned by William Hagan.

Mr. Hagan was unable to attend the meeting, but local attorney William Dilks, as well as Hagan’s brother Pat Hagan, outlined the homeowner’s plans for the property.

Plan allows for a more vibrant program of priestly formation to meet the needs of seminarians as well the people they will one day serve as priests in Philadelphia and throughout the country

 

PHILADELPHIA PA (March 7, 2013)–Today, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. announced a plan focused on the future viability and sustainability of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. It will bring a renewed sense of energy to the Seminary, its program of priestly formation, its program of permanent diaconate formation and educational opportunities it offers for the general public through the Graduate School of Theology.

 

As part of the plan, the Seminary will consolidate facilities, seek to lease or sell underutilized buildings and property, and implement new spiritual and academic programming for seminarians and lay students. While the Seminary may look different in the future, the Archbishop has affirmed his commitment to the vital importance of maintaining a Seminary for the Archdiocese and keeping it at its current location in Lower Merion Township.

WILLIAMSTOWN — Marina Mabrey exploded Wednesday night.

The sophomore forward erupted for a career-high 49 points, propelling the Point Pleasant Beach High School girls basketball team past Gloucester City, 85-74, in the NJSIAA Group I state semifinals.

The Garnet Gulls (24-1) will meet Bloomfield Tech, a 54-41 winner over Midland Park, in the Group I state championship game Sunday at the Pine Belt Arena in Toms River at a time to be determined Friday by NJSIAA officials. The winners qualified for a state championship game for the first time in program history.

Mabrey blazed away at a 16-for-22 clip from the field, including three of five from downtown. She put home 14 of 16 free throws. She added six rebounds and six steals. Mabrey scored 32 second-half points, including 19 in the third quarter.

Mabrey turned the Williamstown gymnasium into her personal playground, burying treys from binoculars range, beating defenders off the dribble, scoring on putbacks and netting medium range jumpers. She spiced her showing with a behind-the-back dribble move that resulted in a three-point play late in the third quarter.
