肥満の方が飢餓より怖い？！（（((ﾟдﾟ；))
Global report: Obesity bigger health crisis than hunger
(CNN) -- Obesity is a bigger health crisis globally than hunger,
and the leading cause of disabilities around the world,
according to a new report published Thursday in the British medical journal The Lancet.
obesity: 〔極端なまたは病的な〕肥満
Nearly 500 researchers from 50 countries compared health data
from 1990 through 2010 for the Global Burden of Disease report,
revealing what they call a massive shift in global health trends.
reveal
: 〔知られていなかったことを〕明らかにする
"We discovered that there's been a huge shift in mortality.
mortality: 死亡率、死の必然性
Kids who used to die from infectious disease are now doing extremely well with immunization," said Ali Mokdad, co-author of the study and professor of global health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, which led the collaborative project.
"However, the world is now obese and we're seeing the impact of that."
obese: 太り過ぎの、肥満の
The report revealed that every country, with the exception of those in sub-Saharan Africa, faces alarming obesity rates
-- an increase of 82% globally in the past two decades.
Middle Eastern countries are more obese than ever, seeing a 100% increase since 1990.
"The so-called 'Western lifestyle' is being adapted all around the world, and the impacts are all the same," Mokdad said.
The health burden from high body mass indexes now exceeds that
due to hunger, according to the report.
body mass index: 《医》ボディー・マス・インデックス、体格指数、肥満度指数
And for the first time, noncommunicable diseases like diabetes, stroke
and heart disease top the list of leading causes of years spent sick or injured.
この２年で世界の肥満が８２％も増加した！！！

Obamadon オバマドン (^^) and Friends のこと
Toothy prehistoric lizard named Obamadon
after smiling president
(Reuters) -
Researchers have named a newly discovered, prehistoric lizard
"Obamadon gracilis" in honor of the 44th president's toothy grin.
prehistoric: 先史時代の
lizard: トカゲ
gracilis: 《解剖》薄筋
The small, insect-eating lizard was first discovered in eastern Montana
in 1974, but a recent re-examination showed
the fossil had been wrongly classified as a Leptochamops denticulatus
and was in fact a new species, researchers told Reuters on Tuesday.
Obamadon gracilis was one of nine newly discovered species reported on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In naming the new species, scientists from Yale and Harvard universities
combined the Latin "Obamadon" for "Obama's teeth"
and "gracilis," which means slender.
"The lizard has these very tall, straight teeth
and Obama has these tall, straight incisors and a great smile,"
said Nick Longrich, a paleontologist at the school in New Haven, Connecticut.
incisor: 門歯、切歯
paleontologist: 古生物学者
It was believed to have lived during the Cretaceous period,
which began 145.5 million years ago.
Along with many dinosaurs from that era,
the lizard died out about 65 million years ago
when a giant asteroid struck earth, scientists say.
Cretaceous (period): 白亜紀
asteroid: 小惑星

Pioneering jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck has died, aged 91.
The musician, whose recordings included Take Five and Blue Rondo a la Turk, was once designated a "living legend" by the US Library of Congress.
He died on Wednesday morning in hospital in Connecticut, his manager Russell Gloyd told the Chicago Tribune newspaper .
The musician, who toured with the likes of Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald would have turned 92 on Thursday.
Mr Gloyd said Brubeck died of heart failure after being stricken while on his way to a cardiology appointment with his son Darius.

'Poison' pen mightier than sword for would-be
North Korean assassin
Seoul (CNN) --
All you might feel is someone brush by you and a slight pin prick.
But very quickly you would be suffering muscle paralysis
followed by suffocation.
You would be dead within a very short period of time.
paralysis : 麻痺
suffocation : 窒息
This is the deadly effect of just one of the weapons
found on a failed North Korean assassin last year
on the busy streets of Seoul, now shown exclusively to CNN.
Disguised to look like a Parker ballpoint pen,
it contains a poison needle
and is practically impossible to identify as a weapon.
The second pen shoots a poison-filled bullet which penetrates the skin
and releases the toxin and the third weapon is a flashlight,
loaded with up to three bullets.
They all look completely innocuous but all three will kill.
innocuous : 無害の

Whykickamoocow: The secret of silly horse names
"Frankel was a cracking name --
it jumped out of the microphone," says racing commentator Cornelius Lysaught.
The superstar colt, who recently retired after an unblemished 14-win career,
scooped the main prize at the 2012 UK Horse of the Year awards.
cracking : カッコいい
"The Queen is renowned for naming her horses sensible,
cleverly constructed words," says BBC commentator Lysaght.
renowned for ～ : ～でよく知られている
Camelot's owners reserved the name in the hope of finding a horse that would live up
the mythical Arthurian city. The British colt came close,
but failed to secure the Triple Crown this year.
(CNN) -- Say these names as fast as you can:
Hoof Hearted, Whykickamoocow, Oh no it's my mother-in-law, Maythehorsebewithyou.
競走馬の名前には、面白い名前があるんですねぇ。という記事。
