WHEN you're a pop star such as Beyonc Knowles you know you have to lose weight quickly after having a baby.

The 30-year-old wife of rapper Jay-Z gave birth to their daughter Blue Ivy nearly five months ago and knew that she had agreed to a four-concert weekend in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in May.

The weight loss would have to be extreme to squeeze into custom-made Ralph & Russo designs, including a midriff-baring, fringed two-piece adorned with Swarovski crystals.

During her second concert at Revel Beach Ovation Hall Beyonc told the audience about her post-pregnancy regime.

"Y'all have no idea how hard I worked," she told her fans.

"I had to lose 60 pounds (27kg). They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!"

How many times have you discovered a new gadget, a new workflow, a new shop or a new piece of software and thought to yourself, "Well, this changes everything!" It doesn't happen often but when it does, it is usually wonderful. The KTM 200 Duke promises to be like that. But is it? If, like me, you have read all the online reviews then you will know that most people who rode the motorcycle at the Chakan test track preview thought the world of the KTM.

The question we are finding the answer to today is simple - is the KTM as dramatic, as market-changing as the first ride suggests it should be or not?

So we called in the obvious frames of reference for the KTM. In alphabetical order, the Honda CBR250R is first. It makes the same peak power as the KTM but takes a very different route to the enthusiast's heart.

These are different motorcycles in temperament and role; it is important to establish that fundamental distinction.

It's a soft, civil, versatile, comfortable motorcycle which enjoys its sense of being large, spacious and planted. But it also commands a premium of roughly Rs 60,000 for the ABS model and Rs 25,000 for the non-ABS model over the KTM.

The other motorcycle is the Yamaha YZF-R15. The little Yamaha is a bit of a legend and is here because it is, in our eyes, the ultimate enthusiasts ride on the market today. We know from extensive experience that the R15 is friendly, forgiving and fast.

However, it has a displacement, power and consequently, a performance disadvantage here while being just Rs 6,000 cheaper than the Duke 200. Has Yamaha lost its serve in not bringing out its 250cc competitor early enough? So many questions!

Styling, build and finish

The CBR looks like a scaled down VFR. I personally don't like the VFR so I'm not particularly a fan of this design. But the CBR inescapably looks like a big motorcycle and ridden quickly in traffic creates and maintains the illusion that you are on something substantial.

It's well-finished and good looking and the sole clue to its real nature, really, is the rear tyre which looks extremely tall for its width when seen from the back and hence, a bit odd. Finish levels on the CBR are excellent and build quality is pretty good. There used to be a niggle with rusting nuts in the early batches but that has since been fixed.

It's a time when hope collides with economic reality, when the relief of that last class and the thrill of holding that diploma give way to the next big step finding a job.

For the Class of 2012, the optimism of graduation is clouded by the uncertain aftermath of the worst economic slide since the Depression.

Last year, graduates 24 and younger posted a 9.3 percent jobless rate; since then, there have been signs of progress. Unemployment averaged 7.2 percent during the first third of this year, compared with 9.1 percent in the same period in 2011. And one survey estimates that about 7 percent more new college grads will find work this year than a year ago.

But the job market is still tight, millions of people remain unemployed and graduates whether they're embarking on a career from high school, college or in mid-life are entering a work world where salaries have not rebounded since falling during the recession.

The outlook is especially grim for high school graduates: Unemployment has topped 20 percent in all but four months since the start of 2009.

For thousands of new graduates making the big transition this spring, there are pressures to find jobs quickly, pay off loans and, in some cases, start a second career, all against the backdrop of the slow-healing economy.

The speed and strength of the recovery a topic at the heart of the presidential race will help shape their future in different ways. For an aspiring teacher, for instance, it may determine how fast he gets out of debt. For a budding entrepreneur, how much money investors pour into his startup. And for an autoworker-turned-cook, how smoothly he reinvents himself.

NIH-funded study addresses emerging health problem

A combination of two diabetes drugs, metformin and rosiglitazone, was more effective in treating youth with recent-onset type 2 diabetes than metformin alone, a study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found. Adding an intensive lifestyle intervention to metformin provided no more benefit than metformin therapy alone.

The study also found that metformin therapy alone was not an effective treatment for many of these youth. In fact, metformin had a much higher failure rate in study participants than has been reported in studies of adults treated with metformin alone.

The Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study is the first major comparative effectiveness trial for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in young people. TODAY was funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of NIH. Study results will appear in the New England Journal of Medicine on April 29, 2012, at http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1109333.

The results of this study tell us it might be good to start with a more aggressive drug treatment approach in youth with type 2 diabetes,said Philip Zeitler, M.D., Ph.D., the TODAY study chair and a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora. We are learning that type 2 diabetes is a more aggressive disease in youth than in adults and progresses more rapidly, which could be why metformin alone had a higher than expected failure rate.

The TODAY study tested how well and for how long each of three treatment approaches controlled blood glucose levels in youth enrolled from ages 10 to 17 with type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: metformin alone, metformin and rosiglitazone together, and metformin plus intensive lifestyle changes aimed at helping participants lose weight and increase physical activity.

The study found that treatment with metformin alone was inadequate for maintaining acceptable, long-term, blood glucose control in 51.7 percent of youth over an average follow-up of 46 months. The failure rate was 38.6 percent in the metformin and rosiglitazone group, a 25.3 percent reduction from metformin alone. In the metformin plus lifestyle group the failure rate was 46.6 percent.

The childhood obesity epidemic has led to the emergence of type 2 diabetes in youth. However, because type 2 diabetes has been primarily an adult illness, information about how to effectively treat youth is limited, and pediatric diabetes experts have had to rely on what is known about adult treatment.

Currently, metformin is the standard treatment for young people with type 2 diabetes and the only oral drug approved for this use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The longer a person has type 2 diabetes, the greater the likelihood of developing complications including coronary artery disease, stroke, kidney and eye disease, and nerve damage, making it critical for young people with type 2 diabetes to quickly achieve and sustain control of their blood glucose.

Two Drugs Better Than One To Treat Youth With Type 2 Diabetes

House Arc may look like an egg-shaped antidote to McMansion mania, but this small mail-order home was really designed as a way to quickly provide housing to victims of disaster.

"We wanted to see how we could produce a house that would fit into a flat packing container that could be shipped to communities in need, like New Orleans after Katrina," said architect Joseph Bellomo, who worked on the modular home for two and a half years.

The result was House Arc, a 150-square-foot structure of hollow steel tubes. Not only can the 3,000-pound modular home withstand high winds, it can also be boxed into a 120 cubic-foot freight container and shipped off to its next destination.

House Arc is designed to be put together like a piece of Ikea furniture, according to Bellomo. In other words, anyone with moderate carpentry skills should be able to assemble it. If the home is no longer needed, it can also easily be taken apart and shipped somewhere else.

The curved design is so strong because it works like an arch, spreading the weight of any load, such as the pressure of a strong wind, across the surfaces rather than allowing it to concentrate on one spot.

See inside: Build your own eco-friendly home

For Bellomo, it was important for the home to be practical yet also attractive. Disaster victims are often relegated to substandard housing conditions, packed into trailers or even tents for months after they lose their homes, he said.

Bellomo was inspired to create the modular home after he made Bike Arc, a steel-arched shelter that riders could lock their bikes into.

Even though House Arc has a footprint of less than 100 square feet, it's roomier inside, thanks to walls that bow out and nine-foot high ceilings.

House Arc: A modular home designed for disaster victims

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- House Arc may look like an egg-shaped antidote to McMansion mania, but this small mail-order home was really designed as a way to quickly provide housing to victims of disaster.

The cozy mail-order home can also be added to a backyard to expand living space, say as a guest house. Or it could be used as a cabin in the woods.

But the cost is still high, at a base of about $55,000. However, Bellomo wants to automate the production process, which should cut the price at least by half, he said.

WELLNESS

Many people still believe that losing weight is a matter of going without sweets and exercise more. While those are certainly important components of a successful weight-loss strategy, the body's highly-complex processes that affect weight control can make it more difficult to shed even just a few kilos of unwanted weight.

HORMONE AND WEIGHT LOSS

If you're among the many people who've made numerous efforts to lose weight, you've probably noticed how that, each kilo you lose requires more effort than the kilo before it; the first few kilos can be shed quickly, but soon enough the rate of weight loss hits a plateau. As frustrating as this can be for dieters, it's actually an important safety mechanism.

Once the diet begins, the body reacts to the reduced calorie intake by switching to survival mode; it slows the body's metabolism rate in order to conserve energy. In effect, the body concludes it is being starved and takes drastic measures as a means of survival.

Understanding the relationship between hormones and body weight can boost the effectiveness of your weight loss efforts. Our metabolism is controlled by hormones, including insulin, which works with the adrenal gland to control metabolism and fat burning.

BODY SHAPES AND CURVES

Sex hormones also play an important role in metabolism and weight control; they influence body shape, eating habits and fat accumulation. Our body shape holds the key to losing the stubborn, hard-to-shed weight. While body weight is one indicator of overall health, our body shape can indicate hormonal imbalances that make losing weight more difficult. For example, abdominal fat is one possible indicator of diabetes, while fat accumulation in the triceps or on the back may signal a problem in our adrenal glands.

High insulin levels can increase fat on the belly and shoulders; people with high insulin levels should substitute simple carbohydrates with healthier whole grain foods and increase protein consumption; fat is stored energy, and protein moves fat to where it can be metabolised and converted to energy. If you don't eat enough protein, your body fat can't be moved get to where it can be burned up, and it ends up accumulating inside the body.

The Breakdown

QB AJ McCarron: Alabama (6-4, 210)

What I like

ICONMcCarron will stand tall in the pocket.

- Has the pedigree of being a former big time recruit, but has not been babied during his time at Alabama. - Showcased the ability to play early in the SEC, winning a National Championship as a sophomore. - Is willing to be grinded on day in and day out by an NFL caliber coaching staff. - Can take critical feedback. - Possesses good size for the position and the ball comes out over his ear. - Holds the football at his chest plate in his drop and doesnt have a ton of wasted motion in his delivery. - Possesses solid arm strength, isnt going the throw the football through a wall, but possesses more than enough arm to make all the throws. - Showcases above-average touch on all levels of the field. - Is comfortable taking a bit off throws in the underneath pass game and exhibits plus ball placement both inside and outside the numbers allowing his target to run through the pass. - Showcases the ability to find secondary receivers across the field when going through his progressions. - Routinely understands where his secondary/ hot read will be underneath. - Works well off play action, snaps his head around quickly and exhibits plus touch down the field when asked to drop the ball into tight ears. - Isnt afraid to throw the football into coverage, exhibits enough ball placement to put throws where only his target can make a play. - Balances himself well in his drop from under center, keeps a wide base in his lower half and can transfer his weight well when the ball needs to come out on his back foot in the three and five step game. - Uses his eyes well to manipulate defenses at times, looks off safeties and stays in balance when coming back across the field with a throw. - When his feet are set showcases good accuracy and timing in the short/intermediate pass game. - Has some sneaky athleticism to his game when asked to boot outside the pocket and throw on the move. - Is a smart kid who has battled through adversity while playing vs. a high level of competition early in his college career. The best is still to come.

What I didnt like

- Still doesnt look completely comfortable with what he sees in the pocket. - Looks tentative at times to really cut the ball lose, plays not to make mistakes instead of trying to make a play. - Has a tendency to hold onto the football too long in the pocket waiting for a receivers to uncover. - Needs to improve his mental clock in the pocket and when the football needs to come out. - Gets too narrow with his footwork at times and routinely is forced to take a step into throws, even on passes that dont require it, causing his timing with the receiver to be a step late. - Doesnt generate a ton of torque off his back leg because of his upright base at times when standing in the pocket. - Gets caught bouncing on his toes in the pocket and isnt always set and ready to deliver the football. - Will make up his mind pre-snap at times and force throws into coverage. - Has yet to take that next step as a big time NFL prospect, but showed glimpses of it in the 2012 National Championship game.

The Breakdown

A lot can be said about the fact that hes already won a National Championship before his junior year all while handling the tough love of the Alabama coaching staff. Nevertheless, hes battled the adversity well, showed significant improvement during the 2011 season and has the skill set to make all the throws with zip and accuracy in the NFL.

I still want to see him mature into a more poised pocket passer, trust what he sees and not be afraid to cut the football lose. However, that is something that should take place during the next season or two if hes willing to put in the work.
