Mickey Check
The Walt Disney Corporation announced on Tuesday that all products advertised on its child-focused television channels, radio stations and Web sites must comply with a strict new set of nutrition standards.
Besides the new advertising standards, Disney said it would roll out a "Mickey Check" check-mark icon this year to identify nutritious food and menu items at its retail shops and theme parks.
Nearly one-third of U.S. children are overweight or obese, and a 2006 Institute of Medicine report said junk-food marketing contributed to childhood obesity.
The media and entertainment conglomerate introduced voluntary guidelines in 2006 that prohibited licensing of Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters for foods that do not meet minimum nutritional requirements.
The move follows the announcement last week of a plan by New York City to ban the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks amid increasing concern about childhood obesity in America.
Mickey's magic will become true when the rate of obesity gets decreased.
True dream lies in healthy bodies.
And it may be a little harder for McDonald's to attract children than ever before.

Extinct Lonesome George
Lonesome George, a giant tortoise believed to be the last remaining of its subspecies, died on Sunday of unknown causes, the Galapagos National Park said.
With no offspring and no known individuals from his subspecies left, Lonesome George became known as the rarest creature on Earth.
He was estimated to be about 100 years old, which made him a young adult as the subspecies can live up to an age of 200.
Lonesome George was first seen in 1972 by a Hungarian scientist on the Pinta island, one of the smallest islands in the Galapagos.
Environmentalists had believed that his subspecies had become extinct.
Scientists had been trying to get George to mate since 1993, when they introduced two female tortoises of a different subspecies into his pen.
They laid eggs twice, but they were infertile.
With his death, the Pinta giant tortoises are expected to be extinct.
The Galapagos' giant tortoise population was declimated after the arrival of humans.
Tortoises were hunted for their meat by sailors and fishermen to the point of extinction.
Their habitat has been eaten away by goats introduced from the mainland.
We never forget; the speed of tortoises' walk can be much faster than that of their extinction.

Sushi Tsukato
I've told that the best sushi restaurant around Urawa is Takara-zushi located by Gyokuzo-in.
But the one I went last night was also fantastic.
This is Sushi Tsukato, which located near Riki.
Not to mention the wonderful taste of Uni (Sea urchin), I fell in love with its Engawa (= Fluke fin).
If you're interested in this sushi restaurant, go to http://locoplace.jp/t000031493/.
Anyway I also like the design of Unomi (= tea cup), a small child attaches like this.

Mickey Mouse ties
A variety of Disney clothings have been sold at Itoyokado to celebrate the 110th anniversary of Walt Disney's birth.
And I bought these two unique ties.
Each of them costs me only ￥2,000.
Itoyokado sometimes provide good ones so cheaply. (^o^)

Eigonoie own polo shirts arrived yesterday.
We'd been talking about making our original shirts to contribue to the Cool Biz campaign, and one of the staffs Rikiya organized Eigonoie polo shirts at last!!
Not giving a bad image to Eigonoie, the design and colors are simple.
