To roast red peppers, place the bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Broil (grill), turning frequently with tongs until the skin blackens all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a covered bowl or place in a paper bag and close. Let steam until the skin loosens, about 10 minutes. Peel, cover and refrigerate until needed.
4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long
2 flour tortillas (spinach, garlic and herb, or pesto-flavored), 10 inches in diameter
2 tablespoons hummus
1 cup lettuce leaves
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1 roasted red bell pepper, cut into slices
Spray a small nonstick frying pan with cooking spray. Add the chicken and saute over medium-high heat until the chicken is lightly browned and opaque throughout. Set aside.
Heat a dry, large frying pan (without a nonstick surface) over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla to the hot pan and heat until softened, about 20 seconds per side. Repeat with the other tortilla.
To serve, place a warmed tortilla on each plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of the hummus on the tortilla. Then add half of the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted pepper to make each wrap. Fold in the sides and the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Cut each wrap in half crosswise and serve immediately.

Path to Vikings went through Germany
[size=18px]Path to Vikings went through Germany[/size]
Former Gophers wide receiver Aaron Hosack hopes that his second stint in NFL Europe provided the boost he needed to land a job with the Purple this fall.
Patrick Reusse, Star Tribune
Last update: July 08, 2006 – 10:50 PM
Whitey Jordan started his coaching career a half-century ago as a Clemson assistant. There were two traditions with Tigers football: winning and having fun. Frank Howard was the head coach and one of the game's all-time characters.
"We worked hard, and we laughed hard," Jordan said. "That carried over to the players -- loose during the week, tough as nails on Saturday. I'll tell you, Hosack would've been a perfect Tiger."
His mention of Aaron Hosack caused Jordan to start laughing and then he said: "He's my favorite player. I love that sucker."
Jordan coached for 15 years at Clemson, left for other schools for 20 years, and then came back to Clemson in the 1990s for five more seasons.
"I was 62 and that was 40 years of college coaching," Jordan said. "My wife and I were in our home back here in Clemson, and I was going to retire."
Then, Galen Hall -- a coach for whom Jordan had been the offensive coordinator at Florida -- called and said: "I'm taking over a team in Europe. I need you."
Jordan has coached eight years in NFL Europe. This season, he was the offensive line coach for the Frankfurt Galaxy. He also coached a year in the XFL.
"I'm going to coach in Europe one more season and that's it," he said. "I'm going to retire after 50 years, and 10 years after I promised my wife I was retiring."
Jordan was the offensive line coach and not directly in charge of Hosack this spring. They did develop a large appreciation for one another.
Hosack was asked last week for a Frankfurt coach's name and told a reporter: "Call Whitey. He's the guy you want."
Jordan was colorful, as Hosack promised. He also was effusive in his praise of Hosack, the 6-6 ex-Gophers receiver who has a chance to stick with the Vikings on his third try.
"If the ball is in the air, he's going to track it down," Jordan said. "And if he gets anything on it, even a pinkie finger, he'll catch it. He was the No. 3 receiver in our league, and I have to say -- we weren't blessed with outstanding quarterbacks. Give him an accurate thrower, like they have in the NFL, and watch out."
Hosack arrived in Minnesota as a junior college transfer in 2002. He caught 80 passes for 11 touchdowns in two seasons with the Gophers.
"Greg Hudson recruited me," Hosack said. "He brought out a tape of a game and the Gophers were throwing on every down. I said, 'I'm going to love this system.' Then, I got there and found out we had one of the best rushing teams in the country."
Hosack had a minicamp tryout with the Chicago Bears in the spring of 2004. Nothing happened. Then, Mike Tice brought him to the Vikings' last minicamp and he wound up on the practice squad.
The Vikings assigned him to NFL Europe for 2005. He broke his shoulder blade in Frankfurt's training camp. He came back for the final four games and suffered a torn labrum on the second-to-last play of the season.
He was on the NFL Europe's injured list all last season, drawing a salary of $130,000. The Vikings sent him back to Frankfurt this season. He caught 36 passes for 473 yards and four touchdowns. He followed this with three weeks in the Vikings' various camps in June.
"With Nate [Burleson] gone to Seattle, there's definitely an opening for a receiver with the Vikings," Hosack said. "I had good practices with the Vikings last month, but I also know I was right out of NFL Europe and better football shape than most of the players.
"All the receivers trying to get a spot will be equal when we get to Mankato. I'm out here in California, sticking my head in the playbook every day, and trying to make sure things are clicking for me on the first day of camp."
Jordan thinks they will be. "I think he's going to make it," Whitey said. "We had Marcus Robinson here years back, and see Aaron as the same type of receiver -- a big man who one D-back can't cover when the ball's in the air.
"He's a good human being, too. He has the long hair and tattoos, but if you tried to judge him by that, you would be wrong."
Patrick Reusse can be heard weekdays on AM-1500 KSTP at 6:45 and 7:45 a.m. and 4:40 p.m. [email protected]
Path to Vikings went through Germany
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Re: Path to Vikings went through Germany
i like this kid honestly, hopefully he makes the team

Re: Path to Vikings went through Germany
I concur with you in that I also hope he makes the team. We need more "good people†in the team; of course you can never have too many good people on a team.

Sarah Nation, Spanish and Latin American Studies student
A Queen's University student on exchange in Chile when the powerful earthquake hit in February is helping Habitat for Humanity rebuild homes.
Sarah Nation, a Spanish and Latin American Studies student, wanted to do something to help the people in Talcahuano, Chile after visiting the area which she describes as "a ghost town." A tsunami caused by the 8.8-magnitude quake destroyed Talcahuano, leaving 109 families to live in tents without electricity and running water.
"I considered myself to be extremely lucky and my experience in Chile had been incredible so I felt I needed to do my part and give back in any way that I could," said Ms Nation, who is on a five-month exchange at Pontificia Universidad de Catolica in Chile.
Despite having no construction experience, Ms Nation and her Chilean friends took 86 volunteers – including 24 exchange students – to Talcahuano for three days of construction on May 20. The following weekend, a smaller group continued the work with the help of volunteers from the city of Santa Clara. Ms Nation and the volunteers are hoping to finish 10 houses by June 20.
When the quake hit on February 27 at 3:30 in the morning, Ms. Nation was near the epicentre, on a bus headed to the town of Pucon for a weekend trip.
"We had all been sleeping and woke up to what felt like we were underwater sinking or had four flat tires, as the bus was bouncing from one side to the other for three long minutes. When I looked out the window all I could see was metal hydro poles and lights swaying back and forth. No one understood what was going on," Ms. Nation said.
Hundreds of people were killed and more than two million people were affected by the quake in some way.

Coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota, the Iowa Hawkeyes, wearing America-inspired helmets for the game, look like a completely different team early on at home against the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines.
After holding the Wolverines to a punt on their opening possession, the Hawkeyes mixed the run and the pass to drive 76 yards on six plays to take a 7-0 lead. Marcus Coker reached the end zone on a bruising four-yard run. The play was set up by two straight big gains on slant passes from junior quarterback James Vandenberg.
The Wolverines promptly went three-and-out on their next possession, giving the Hawkeyes the ball back near the 50 yard line. So far, everything is going Iowa's way.

Franciscan Alliance Wednesday announced it is cutting 275 jobs at its eleven Indiana hospitals and health care facilities. The Mishawaka-based company operates five hospitals in the Region -- Franciscan St. Margaret Health in Hammond and Dyer, Franciscan St. Anthony Health in Crown Point and Michigan City, and Franciscan Healthcare in Munster. The cuts made included administrative, management, supervisory, clinical and nonclinical. A Franciscan news release cited substantive changes in the field, including health care reform laws and shifts from inpatient to outpatient care.

News Release:
MISHAWAKA, Ind. – Franciscan Alliance announced today that the health system is responding to the transformative shift in hospital economics with system-wide staff reductions.
The reductions will affect its 11 hospitals and health facilities in Indiana. 275 employees or 1.4% of the workforce will be laid off as a result of the reduction. Franciscan Alliance has approximately 20,000 employees.
The healthcare industry is changing rapidly and economic pressures are forcing substantive changes in the field, including reduced reimbursements, new payer models, healthcare reform laws and shifts from inpatient to outpatient care.
"Franciscan Alliance has not been immune to such pressures and has found it necessary to align staffing levels to reflect lower patient volumes and reduced industry wide reimbursements brought on by reforms associated with the Affordable Care Act," said Kevin Leahy, Franciscan Alliance president and chief executive officer.
Like other health systems, Franciscan Alliance must cut its costs of care delivery over the next 3 years by 15-20% ($375,000,000-$500,000,000) to remain viable. Last month, our South Suburban Chicago Region eliminated 125 positions. Today, our other operating divisions will notify 275 co-workers that they will be laid-off from their positions. In addition, another 650 full-time equivalent positions will be eliminated by cutting back on assigned hours, closing open positions, retirements and through attrition. The remaining 19,000 employees will see cutbacks in benefits in 2014. These cutbacks include the elimination of the 1.5% employer match to the 403b retirement savings program, elimination of the PTO buy-back program, higher employee contributions for healthcare insurance, no salary increases for management, and a new defined benefit/defined contribution pension for all co-workers not vested by 1/1/2014 in the defined benefit pension plan. The cost savings from these, and other recent pay practice changes, will help preserve hundreds of other jobs which otherwise would have to be eliminated.
"Recent trends and the new law are challenging healthcare providers to manage the continuum of care for patients more efficiently and effectively to ensure the same quality outcomes at reduced reimbursement levels," Leahy said. "Our challenge is to staff our campuses in line with the reduced inpatient volumes that are a byproduct of recent healthcare trends and the new law," he added.
The staff reductions are among several initiatives Franciscan Alliance has undertaken, such as streamlining patient flow processes and coordinating care across the system to deliver quality outcomes and improve patient satisfaction. Ongoing non-labor cost efficiencies continue to be researched, identified, implemented and monitored throughout the system as well.
Regarding the impact on employees affected by the reduction in workforce, Leahy emphasized, "We are profoundly aware of the impact our decisions have on the lives of our co-workers and their families. Consistent with our Franciscan Values, we will make every effort to support all Franciscan team members through these difficult changes. Those whose jobs will be affected by the workforce reduction will be provided with severance, extended health insurance where eligible, and outplacement assistance," he said.
He added that for more than 138 years, the mission of Franciscan Alliance has remained steadfast and constant. "Whatever measures we take will not compromise our goal to provide patients the high-quality, compassionate care they expect and deserve."

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Richie Turner of Fairfax, Vt. won the Furniture World of VT Renegade 100 at Airborne Speedway Saturday and pocketed a $500 bonus on top of the $1,000 winner's check for the way he did it.
Turner opted to start the second half of the race at the rear to earn the extra money after taking the lead from Robert Gordon on lap 37. He opened up large lead before a mandatory pit stop at the halfway mark. His dominance in the second half of the race was even more impressive.
Turner had his Don Turner Automotive No. 17 in third place five laps. On a restart on lap 61 he swept into the lead and was never headed. Gordon held onto the runner-up spot despite being hard-pressed by Josh Terry and Lance Rabtoy over the final 20 laps. Terry finished 3rd, ahead of Rabtoy 4th and Ryan Boutin 5th.
Defending track champion Todd Stone won the first of two Modified features in a race resumed after being postponed after 10 laps last week. Stone started on the front row with George Foley and the pair ran 1-2 a few car-lengths apart the rest of the way. Patrick Dupree, Kris Vernold and Andy Lindeman finished in a pack 3-4-5. The second half of the top ten went to Leon Gonyo, Andy Heywood, Chris Cayea, Craig Reyell and Mike Wells. The complete finish of the event is under review and still unofficial.
In the Della Auto/Subway Modified nightcap, Patrick Dupree was much the best in the Labatt Blue No. 24. It was Dupree's first win of the season and the 28th of his career. Chris Cayea had his best showing of the season to claim second by holding off Andy Lindeman who crossed the line third at his bumper. Kris Vernold was 4th with Todd Stone 5th. The finish of the second Modified feature is also still unofficial.
Nick Heywood of Plattsburgh won the first of two J&S Steel Sportsman Modified 25-lap features. Heywood overtook Joe Daniels of Saranac with three laps to go. Daniels held off Mike Phinney to claim runner-up honors.
Phinney landed in victory lane in the second Sportsman feature after a lengthy duel with Codie Aubin. Aubin edged Travis Bruno for second. Rick Doner and Bobby Therrien finished 4-5.
Robin Wood won the Limited Late Model main event convincingly after passing runner-up Dylan Payea on lap 13 of the 25-lap race. Jamy Begor, Bucko Branham and Shawn Duquette completed the top five.
Dale O' Neill of Mooers and Josh LaPorte of Peru won the Mini Modified features. It was O'Neill's second win of the season and LaPorte's first.

Professional body-builder Kenyatta Jones-Arietta works hard to look like this. In order to look her best in competition, she's going under the knife for a third breast implant surgery.
"When I lean down, you can tell these are implants. Want a more natural finish."
The 40-year-old mother of three says this time she's trying the new FDA approved breast implants. Doctors say the new cutting edge implants give women a better option.
"Less chance of breast implant rupture, less chance of rippling, which you can see with saline and sometimes silicone," says Dr. Michael Fiorillo.
Dr. Fiorillo says the so called "gummy bear" silicone implants look and feel more natural and are likely to maintain their shape overtime.
"It was coined the term gummy bear because it has the consistency of a gummy bear."
Breast augmentation is the number one cosmetic procedure women have in the United States. 300,000 operations each year.
The surgery costs between $7-$12,000. The risks are minimal and include bleeding and infection.
Jones-Arietta believes the new implants will give her the results she's been looking for.
"I'm hoping for a more natural look and feel."
So she build more confidence when she competes.
This type of breast implant has been around for about five years, but the FDA just approved the implants in the United States in March.

Public meeting for bike lanes location
DALLAS - There is a public meeting Monday about possibly adding more bike lanes in Dallas.
The plan would add lanes in both directions along Sylvan Avenue in North Oak Cliff. That would reduce vehicle traffic from six lanes to four.
You can share your thoughts at the meeting at Salon Las Americas on Fort Worth Avenue. That meeting is scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m.

Shawn Scott Brock, 31, of Crestview planned on meeting with someone on January 9, 2013 but he hadn't intended for the person to be a law enforcement officer. While online on January 8, 2013, he came across an advertisement of a bored, young female looking for someone to chat with. Brock made contact with the young female, who identified herself as "Katie", a 14 year old residing in DeFuniak Springs, FL.
"Katie" was actually an investigator with the Walton County Sheriff's Office. During their conversations, Brock made known his intentions of driving to Walton County to engage in illegal sexual activity with "Katie". Brock believed that "Katie" would be home alone without parental supervision during the course of the intended acts. Brock was arrested at a local convenience store in DeFuniak where he had planned on meeting "Katie". Items related to sexual activity were located in Brock's vehicle, validating his intensions for his victim.
Brock was transported and booked into the Walton County Department of Corrections. He was charged with Obscene Communications-Traveling to Meet after Using Computer to Lure Child.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office is taking a proactive approach into investigating cyber-crimes in our area. Numerous arrests were made last year in the field of cyber-crime. This is the first arrest in 2013 specifically resulting from a cyber-crime investigation.

On a recent late night in New Jersey, Adam Robb sat up with Dulcie Laurance, lulling her back to sleep.
Doctors and health officials have relied for decades on body mass index (BMI), a ratio of height to weight, to categorize people as overweight and obese.
Scientists say they "serendipitously" discovered that a drug used to treat a type of cancer quickly reversed Alzheimer's disease in mice.
Men in their 70s and 80s may be more likely than women of the same age to develop the memory loss and cognitive problems that often herald Alzheimer's disease, a new study has found.
The secret to a long, healthy life in America? According to longevity researchers, it may be to act like you live somewhere else.
For years, many experts have maintained that the subtle changes in memory and mental function that occur naturally as we get older rarely begin before age 60.
Barbara Hall tell us about a new study that finds breast cancer treatments can cause memory loss for patients.
Over the past several years, researchers have noticed an odd pattern in the relationship between body weight and Alzheimer's disease: Middle-aged people have a higher long-term risk of developing the disease if they're overweight or obese, while older people have a lower risk of the disease if they're carrying excess weight.
I am a 24-year-old female who is a fitness enthusiast. I have been trying to lose some weight. My weight is 113 pounds ( it was 120 and I lost 7). Recently I got my BMI, lipid profile, cholesterol, etc., tests done and all of them are normal. I have a normal BMI of around 22. However, when I took a body fat test online, it says I have body fat of 38% and I am obese. I am extremely confused, as to which metric to trust and what should be my ideal weight (I have a small frame). Should I be around 100 pounds?
Women age 65 and older who fracture a hip are much more likely to die from any cause during the following year than they would be if they had avoided injury, a new study suggests.
People with diabetes are at increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke at an early age, but that's not the only worry. Diabetes appears to dramatically increase a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia later in life, according to a new study conducted in Japan.
There was cake at one of the last birthdays Robert John Kreitner Jr. would have at the nursing home in Pennsylvania, but the guest of honor didn't open his eyes to see it.
Middle-aged women searching for a safe alternative to hormone therapy to prevent bone loss and ease the symptoms of menopause are in for another letdown.
Elizabeth Cohen discusses new research that suggests that eye exams may help doctors detect early signs of Alzheimer's.
With more than 5 million people suffering from Alzheimer's disease in the United States, a number that's expected to rise to 16 million by 2050, the pressure is on to find better methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Seventy-five former professional football players are suing the National Football League, saying the league knew as early as the 1920s of the harmful effects of concussions on players' brains but concealed the information from players, coaches, trainers and others until June 2010.
I am 39 years old and petite (5 feet and weigh about 94 pounds). My doctor recommended that I work out with weights to increase my bone density, since my small size puts me at greater risk for osteoporosis as I get older.
A report shows life span in the U.S. is falling behind other countries. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports.
Life expectancy in most U.S. counties lags behind that of the world's healthiest nations, in some cases by 50 years or more, according to a new analysis of government data.
Alzheimer's disease begins long before family and friends notice differences in the patient's memory and behavior, doctors who treat the condition said Monday. By the time an official diagnosis is made, the person's function is usually significantly impaired and treatment rarely helps.
Researchers expand the definition of Alzheimer's disease, recognizing it may be present long before symptoms appear.
The anti-aging quest got some attention this week when actor/producer Ashton Kutcher was pictured in a British tabloid reading my book, The Youth Pill, on a beach next to his wife, actress Demi Moore. According to one account, Moore had given the book to Kutcher -- the smirking implication was that he needed all the help he could get as the aging consort of the seemingly immortal Demi. The uncannily svelte, 48-year-old mother of three was photographed in a skimpy black bikini, leaving no doubt about her all-around youthfulness.
Gradual hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, but in some people it may also be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, a new study suggests.
Mental exercises won't prevent Alzheimer's disease, but they may delay it. Patty Lane has more in the Health Minute.
An essential nutrient found in fish oil does not appear to slow the mental decline associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
After age 60, we are all likely passengers on the Alzheimer's Express. These days it's overcrowded with baby boomers and is predicted by 2050 to claim 115 million victims worldwide, including 13.5 million Americans (up from 5.1 million today), bankrupting our health care system.
HLN's Susan Hendricks reports on a new study that finds men have earlier memory loss than women.
Last week, I answered a question about the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Today I want to talk a little about how dementia is treated.
Is hearing things that aren't there a symptom of Alzheimer's? Is Alzheimer's treatable?
Popular bone drugs taken by millions of older people to prevent osteoporosis do not appear to raise the risk of cancer in the esophagus, as some doctors and patients have feared.
The millions of people who take calcium supplements to strengthen aging bones and ward off osteoporosis may be putting themselves at increased risk of a heart attack, a new study has found.
CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports on a study suggesting calcium supplements can increase heart attack risks.
The link between depression and dementia has always been unclear, but a new study supports the theory that depression increases dementia risk.
Primary-care doctors now have a new--and potentially more convenient--tool to fight the bone disease osteoporosis.
In the fight against memory loss, nothing is certain, doctors say.
Ginkgo biloba has failed -- again -- to live up to its reputation for boosting memory and brain function. Just over a year after a study showed that the herb doesn't prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease, a new study from the same team of researchers has found no evidence that ginkgo reduces the normal cognitive decline that comes with aging.
My husband, age 39, was diagnosed with manic depression/bipolar disorder approximately two years ago. He suffers from recurrent bouts of depression and is currently in a depressive phase. He does not have very many manic phases at all. His short-term memory is getting progressively worse. Lately he cannot seem to remember how to get to places that he had just visited two or three days before. This has happened three times in the past week alone. Is there a correlation between recurrent bouts of depression and memory loss? I would question the medications as a factor, but he has not changed meds in many months and the episodes of memory loss have been in recent weeks. I would appreciate any information you can give me, as the primary caregiver you can imagine that this whole ordeal is very difficult.
Are professional football players at greater risk of dementia and other neurological problems?
The House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on legal issues relating to pro football head injuries.
I am a healthy and fit 55-year-old woman. My bone density test showed that I needed to be supplemented. I cannot take hormones as I had a blood clot, so the doctor prescribed Fosamax. I had awful side effects: muscle pain, joint pain, etc. He has now prescribed Forteo. Is this a good alternative?
People with a stable mood and better capacity to handle stressful situations without anxiety have a reduced risk of developing dementia, according to a study published this week in the journal Neurology.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins are often hailed as "wonder drugs." But a study published in the January 2008 issue of the journal Neurology says they don't protect the brain against Alzheimer's disease.
Women who have used the bone-building drug Fosamax are nearly twice as likely to develop the most common kind of chronically irregular heartbeat as those who have never used it. Patients, especially those with family history of heart problems, should talk to their doctor about whether the drug is the appropriate option for them. The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in April 2008.
How can poor nutrition and vitamin deficiency affect your health, as far as dementia?
The popular herb ginkgo biloba does not reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, according to a study of more than 1,500 elderly patients who took the supplement. Often touted as a way to preserve aging memories, no large-scale, randomized clinical trial -- until now -- has thoroughly evaluated the safety and effectiveness of ginkgo biloba extract as a way to prevent dementia.
An experimental menopause treatment drugmaker Wyeth is developing reduced hot flashes, trouble sleeping and other symptoms
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta meets a man paid to spend 84 days on bed rest as part of a NASA study.
Doctors working with NASA scientists believe that they may have a way to combat one of the greatest health dangers of space travel: bone loss.
British researchers say a new drug could effectively halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, offering hope to millions.
In a field of inquiry that has yielded much disappointment, scientists studying Alzheimer's disease announce some hopeful news
Researchers are studying whether blood pressure drugs can be used to treat Alzheimer's.
Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease who performed better on a treadmill test had less atrophy in the areas of the brain that control memory
Some doctors have long suspected that if the plaque that builds up in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease could be removed, they could be saved. But a new vaccine that did just that suggests the theory is wrong
Don Hayen has a handy way of deflecting the instant pity that comes when he reveals his Alzheimer's disease: "But I haven't lost my keys all day," he quickly jokes.
When Sheri Diehl, a Chicago-area flight attendant, got -- and finally stayed --pregnant after four miscarriages in the 1990s, she contacted her supervisor and asked to stop flying immediately. Her biggest worry? Radiation. She knew the airplane's shell didn't protect her from the sun's rays at high altitude. Diehl and her fellow flight attendants had long wondered -- Could there be unknown health risks for frequent fliers? -- which now included her baby. "I wasn't taking any chances," she says.
Results from a large government experiment are dimming hopes that two common painkillers can prevent Alzheimer's disease
Millions of baby boomers are about to enter a health care system for seniors that not only isn't ready for them, but may even discourage them from getting quality care
The truth: By age 35 your bone strength has usually peaked, and by age 50 your risk of breaking a bone because of osteoporosis may be as high as one in two. But here's an important secret: Experts say smart lifestyle choices-from workouts to the right supplements-can greatly improve your odds of avoiding bone problems. What should you do right now? Just follow this age-specific game plan.
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports on a study that links abdominal fat to an increased risk of dementia later in life.
Dr. Bernadine Healy can't even count the number of women who've complained to her about how tough it is to make the decision about hormone replacement therapy.
Just a few minutes of moderate daily exercise may stave off the signs of dementia in the elderly, a new study suggests
Amgen just can't get a break these days.
If you want to stand up tall when you're old, you might want to start when you're young. While osteoporosis, or thinning of bone density, usually hits most women after they have gone through menopause, there are steps they can take in their early years to lessen just how much bone they eventually lose.
CNN's Judy Fortin looks at ways women can fight back against osteoporosis.
New research shows that insulin plays a key role in the brain -- and in the onset of Alzheimer's disease, prompting some researchers to call it "type 3" diabetes
Four prominent neurologists say they cannot see how Sen. Pete Domenici can continue his work as a U.S. senator given his diagnosis with frontotemporal lobar degeneration, a type of dementia.
Researchers are still figuring out the dangers and benefits of hormone replacement therapy, but two new studies give a boost to estrogen as a defense against dementia
Do you take care of someone in your family with a chronic medical illness or dementia? Have you felt depression, anger or guilt? Has your health deteriorated since taking on the responsibility of caregiving? If your answer is yes to any one of these, you may be suffering from caregiver stress.
More than 26 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's disease, and a new forecast says the number will quadruple by 2050
How can something can be healthy one day and unhealthy the next? A new study on alcohol and dementia shows that the results are usually more complicated than we think
The images on the large screen came one after another, each more disturbing and haunting than the other. There was Mike Webster shown naked from the waist up, lying dead on an autopsy table. There was Terry Long dead on an autopsy table with his tongue sticking out, still showing the pain of someone who had endured a prolonged death after ingesting antifreeze. Then there were simply the words of Dr. Bennet Omalu -- who didn't show pictures of Andre Waters because he shot himself -- as he described Waters' condition at his autopsy.
As we eat, so will we age.
For some, the search for the fountain of youth means downing fruit-flavored potions they believe give them more energy. Others look for it in the creams and lotions they rub on their crows' feet in hopes that the wrinkles will magically disappear. Still, there are those of us who think a true fountain of youth would deliver the answer to one of the mysteries of middle-age life: Where did I put my car keys?

You may have heard by now about the single use plastic bag ordinance that the City of Sunnyvale adopted in December, 2011. Beginning June 20, 2012 — in only a month — large retailers will not be allowed to give out free single use plastic bags at check-out. Instead, they must provide an alternative paper bag that is made from at least 40% post-consumer recycled content paper, as well as charge $.10 per bag that consumers take from the store. The fee will increase to $.25 per bag in 2014. Stores such as supermarkets are still allowed to provide plastic bags with no handles for produce. And beginning March 20, 2013, the same rules will apply to small stores, too.
Sunnyvale is one of a growing list of at least 25 California cities or counties that have either already adopted the ban or will be by the end of 2012. If you've already visited shopping centers such as Westfield Valley Fair in Santa Clara, you've probably already experienced what will begin happening in Sunnyvale.
How can you avoid paying $.10 per paper bag that you bring home from a store? Invest in some reusable bags! Many supermarkets and retailers already have reusable bags available for a small fee. In fact, our own Friends of the Sunnyvale Library has made brand new reusable bags available at the Customer Service Desk at the front of the Library for $2 each. Proceeds benefit the Friends of the Sunnyvale Library and, in turn, the Library itself.
And how can you remember to bring your own bags to the supermarket, other retailers, or even the Library? Here are some tips:
- Leave 3 or 4 bags in your car at all times — if possible, in a visible location, such as on the floor of the front passenger seat. Then, when you unload your purchases at home, leave the bags by the front door so that you remember to return them to your car the next time you leave the house.
- Carry a small reusable bag in your pocket or handbag for unplanned trips to the store.
- Hang several bags on a hook near the front door or in the garage so you will see and grab them anytime you leave the house.
Do you have other ideas for how to remember your own bags every time you go shopping?
For more information about the ordinance and what it means for you and for Sunnyvale retailers, please visit the City's website regarding the single use plastic bag ordinance. The site has a useful FAQ that discusses any concerns you may have about the new rules.
[Edited 5/24/2012: To clarify regarding the Westfield Valley Fair statement above, the ban currently only applies to the part of Westfield Valley Fair located in San Jose and not in Santa Clara. For example, Men's Macy's and Old Navy are in San Jose, while Women's Macy's is in Santa Clara. Men's Macy's and Old Navy are not giving out plastic bags and are charging $.10 per paper bag. Women's Macy's is still giving out plastic bags.]

For the cost, this is an excellent toy. It had good (not great) attention to detail and is generally pretty durable. My 2-year old (I know this is designed for older kids) won't let it out of his hands and it withstood his abuse for over two months before he managed to break the front "forks". I was impressed. I'm buying another one, maybe he'll be a little gentler this time.Read All Reviews

salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons
olive oil
Quick and easy & everybody in my family liked it and asked for more. The burgers had a way better texture than the ones what require flour or heaps of bread crumbs.
I used canned tuna and this was not good. Other than that, I followed the instructions and it was not working for me. My husband liked it, but I think one could follow the same recipe using fresh tuna? Maybe give a good mince so it can be pattied? and this recipe needs acid

I usually don't really care for tuna, but I LOVED this recipe! I was very pleasantly surprised given the short list of ingredients, and expected these to be dry once prepared....however, they were very flavorful and enjoyed by all my family, including my picky 1&1/2 year old toddler! I doubled the recipe to make 8 tuna burgers. I did not have tuna pouches, so used 2, 5 ounce cans of tuna. I used 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper. I was concerned after mixing all the other ingredients that adding the day-old bread would dry these patties out too much, so I omitted that ingredient. I fried the mixture by 1/4 cupful and flattened in the frying pan. They cooked up beautifully about 2-3 minutes on each side. This will become a regular menu item in this house! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe!
Great idea, came together quickly, tastes fantastic!
I did sub 3/4 C. panko bread crumbs for the crumbs/bread cubes...for seasoning, used Everglades Fish & Chicken seasoning but omitted the salt/pepper...fried in butter, too...A funny thing, I put the lettuce & tomatoes on plate & drizzled with a drizzle of Pomegranate Vinaigrette, some got on the tuna and it really was good!
Thanks, MareLou, for sharing your recipe...:)
Very very good and held together perfectly while frying. I doubled the recipe and added a bit of dill but otherwise left it alone. Made these for a friend for lunch that doesn't eat meat on Fridays and she loved them as well!
This was easy to make. Very good.
I made this today for an early lunch! It was so easy and delicious!
Only had canned tuna (5 oz) so I just cut the other ingredients down a bit. The only bread I had was rye so it was a bit bold, but worked. Instead of blowing up the fat/calorie content with cheese & a bun, I simply topped with lemon juice & I can say this was one of the best burgers I have ever had. This will be a regular in my kitchen.

A partial solar eclipse greeted the East Coast of the United States as we awakened Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the sun wasn't up early enough around here to see it as the hybrid eclipse quickly moved east over the Atlantic and made its way through northern South America and nearly the entire continent of Africa. You can see in the map below, the areas affected with the sunrise on the left showing the east coast of the U.S. followed by the trajectory all the way to sunset in eastern Africa on the right. Some amazing video and pictures were taken by skywatchers all over the place… Below is video of the sun rising to an eclipse in Key West, Florida followed by images from the Eastern Seaboard to the west coast of Africa.

Tebow still hopeful after being cutTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 01,2013FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tim Tebow hasnt given up hope of playing in the NFL after being cut by the New England Patriots.
I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback, he tweeted Saturday.
He has now been let go by his third team in 18 months. With the regular season just five days away, his chances of immediately catching on with another team seem slim.
Tebow thanked owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after failing to survive New Englands mandatory roster cut to 53 players. He also thanked the entire Patriots organization for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a classy organization.
Tebows stay with the Patriots lasted just under 12 weeks and could be the end of his NFL career. The Heisman Trophy winner played in three of New Englands four preseason games and was sacked four times in the finale, a 28-20 win over the New York Giants on Thursday night.
The Patriots have carried just two quarterbacks in three of the past four seasons. And with Ryan Mallett entrenched as the backup to Tom Brady, Tebows challenge was a difficult one, even before the preseason started. Then, he went out and posted a quarterback rating of just 47.2 and threw two touchdown passes to go with two interceptions and seven sacks.
When New England signed him June 11, it appeared Belichick might find other positions for him, given his versatility and mobility. But Tebow never worked out with any unit other than the quarterbacks.
After sitting out the third preseason game, a 40-9 loss at Detroit, Tebow completed 6 of 11 passes for 91 yards with two touchdowns and one interception against the Giants. He also ran six times for 30 yards.
Its not just one game (that matters), Belichick said Friday about the player evaluation process, although every game is important. But the body of work, the camp, the rate of improvement, the ability to do the things that players are going to be asked to do at their respective positions (also matters).
Tebow previously played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets. In college, he was a part of two national championship teams at Florida.
Signing Tebow posed little financial risk to the Patriots. Two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Tebow signed for two years but with no guaranteed money. One person said he would make the veterans minimum salary, $630,000 in 2013, with incentives.
Tebows last play with the Patriots, and perhaps in the NFL, was a 9-yard touchdown to rookie free agent Quentin Sims with six seconds left against the Giants.
After the game, Tebow said he wasnt sure his performance would be enough to keep him on the team.
But he didnt plan to worry. He would go to sleep when I get home, wake up, come work out, watch the film, he said. See what I did good, see what I did bad, try to learn from it and get better.
Tebow became the center ring of a media circus last season with the Jets as quarterback Mark Sanchez struggled. But Tebow threw just eight passes that season and was released April 29. He wasnt picked up until six weeks later, when he took part in the first day of the Patriots three-day minicamp.
With Brady at quarterback and Belichick adept at handling distractions, Tebows profile was much lower in New England.
First and foremost, I just want to thank the Patriots for giving me an opportunity, Tebow said after his first practice. Im looking forward to working hard every single day and getting a lot better and learning under some great people. So thats all I got, but thank you all so much and God bless. Im sure well be talking more soon.
The Patriots limited the attention on Tebow that day by allowing him to speak for just 40 seconds and to take no questions.
He was praised this week by Belichick and Kraft, but neither gave an indication of whether he would make the team.
I learned very early on in my career at Florida to worry about what I can control and the things that I cant control Im not going to spend time worrying about, Tebow said Monday. But I can control my attitude, my focus every single day and those are the things that Im going to worry about.
In three exhibition games, he completed 11 of 30 passes for 145 yards and ran 16 times for 91 yards.
Tebow was drafted by Denver in the first round with the 25th overall pick in 2010. He started the last three of the nine games he played as a rookie then didnt start again until the sixth game in 2011. He was 7-1 in his first eight starts in the regular season before losing the last three. But in the wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he and Demaryius Thomas connected on an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime for a 29-23 win.
But six days later, Tebow completed just 9 of 26 passes for 136 yards in a 45-10 loss to the Patriots.
