High and un-mighty
Toronto Star, Canada -
Sometimes I stand where she is standing (she is very close to the man now, in fact she has a hand on his shoulder). I have stood with my own bag of groceries. A row of quiet Victorian houses, a parkette, a dog barking from deep in someone's property. Then this parking lot, this eddy before a noisy street. Two sets of streetcars made by Bombardier converge on Dundas and Bloor, meld into one another and then come streaming out again. Some 50 overweight streetcars pass by every hour. Their heft at night sometimes lifts me out of bed, out of your arms, pries me out of a dream where I'm still living in Newfoundland. Who is this guy?

Medical services act to aid larger patients
East Valley Tribune, AZ -
�If you have a patient that�s 600 pounds, what are you going to do?� Weiss said. �You can imagine there�s no dignity in that. It also creates inefficiencies . . . because you have to take all those extra crews away from other potential emergencies to help just in the lifting, and then you have the secondary problem of potential back problems and increased worker�s compensation (insurance) issues.�

Teaching the value of friendships
Marco Island Sun-Times, FL -
It's time for parents to take control and teach our kids to care, even if it's just a little bit more. It's never too late to start. They can start by caring about relationships. Relationships with family and friends, to start with. Next, begin to care about what's in their backyard. Instead of laughing at the overweight kid in the lunch courtyard, think about standing up for him/her. Hopefully from there, they can start caring about the world around them. And as the song says, "And the world will be a better place, for you and me. Just wait and see. Put a little love in your heart!"
