  Rolling up her sleeves to make a cup of tea, Sarah Brown set the tone for the day.While their husbands tried to rescue the global economy, Mrs.Brown and Michelle Obama showed there are other, smaller ways to make a difference.The two women demonstrated their down-to-earth touch as they visited a cancer care centre in London yesterday morning.While Mrs.Obama busied herself with talking to patients and families, Mrs.Brown put the kettle on.

  The First Lady was introduced to Trudi Cogdell, who is currently on her third course of treatment to give her the maximum time possible with her children.The 44-year-old mother said last night that she expected Mrs.Obama to keep her distance.Instead, the Frist Lady hugged Mrs.Cogdell's two youngest children –Maysie, eight, and five-year old Presley.Mrs.Cogdell, who is married to John, 38, said: “Staff told me that I'd be sitting on the sofa with my kids and she'd stand a few metres away.But as soon as she walked in the door she came and sat down right next to me.She said “Come on, big hugs”, and she embraced me and my two children.She added: “She was asking a lot about my cancer.It's terminal.They can't do anything.”

  I’ve got cancer in my breasts, liver and bones and I'm my third course of my cancer.Michelle just said, “Be strong”.She said, “You know what you’re doing, stay positive, keep going.” I told her I'm not going anywhere.I pointed to my two kids Maysie and Presley and told her that was why.I’ve got three older children, I can't leave them.Maggie's Centre, which helps cancer sufferers and their families with information, practical advice and emotional support, was opened last April by Mrs.Brown.

  Despite an undoubtedly busy schedule, the President's wife remained relaxed, introducing herself to everyone personally as Michelle.

  The first Wives met at Downing Street before breakfast and traveled to the cancer centre together.

  Mark Ramirez, a senior executive at AOL, could work in the comfortable leather chair, if he wanted.No, thanks.He prefers to stand most of the day at a desk raised above stomach level.

  “I've got my knees bent.I feel totally alive,” he said.“It feels more natural to stand.”

  In the past few years, standing has become the new sitting for 10 percent of AOL employees at the firm's Virginia branch.Part of a standing popularity is among accountants, programmers, telemarketers and other office workers across the nation.

  GeekDesk, a California firm that sells desks raised by electric motors, says sales will triple this year.

  Standers give various reasons for taking to their feet: It makes them feel more focused, prevents drowsiness, makes them feel like a general even if they just push paper.(Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfels works standing up.So does novelist Philip Roth.)

  But unknown to them, a debate is spreading among ergonomics experts and public-health researchers about whether all office workers should be encouraged to stand-to save lives.

  Dostors point to surprising new research showing higher rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and even mortality among people who sit for long stretches.A study earlier this year in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that among 123,000 adults followed over 14 years, those who sat more than six hours a day were at least 18 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat less than three hours a day.

  “showed that among 123,000 adults followed over 14 years, those who sat more than six hours a day were at least 18 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat less than three hours a day.

  “Every rock we turn over when it comes to sitting is astonishing,” said Marc Hamilton, a leading researcher on inactivity physiology at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana.“Sitting is harmful.It's dangerous.We are on the cusp of a major revolution.” He calls sitting “the new smoking”.

  Not so fast, other experts say.Standing too much at work will cause more long-term back injuries.Incidences of varicose veins among women will increase.The heart will have to pump more.

  Hedge, the Cornell professor, isn't a fan of all this standing.“Making people stand all day is dumb,” he said.

  The sensible and most cost-effective strategy, he said, is to sit in a neutral posture, slightly reclined, with the keyboard on a tray above the lap.This position promotes positive blood flow.Workers should occasionally walk around, stretch and avoid prolonged periods at the desk.The key, he said, is movement, not standing.
