Scholarships in India
Reading about scholarships in India may be something that you have an interest in provided that you have a family member or friend in this part of the world and want to ensure that they have access to an amazing education. As you know, this part of the world has dealt with extreme levels of poverty that can make it very difficult for people living here to even be able to afford their basic needs such as a comfortable place to live or the foods that would provide them with strength. When there is a lack of these basic elements of comfort in life, a quality education can seem like nothing more than a distant dream. In fact, people in India will often find themselves missing out on things because they are unable to afford them. The cost of a great education is typically the number one factor that will limit the access that a student has to being able to attend a university. However, there are many different scholarships that are available for students in such situations. There are scholarships which are designed to help students with strong relies beliefs and people that are making a difference within their community.
Also, there are scholarships for people that would be the first person in their family to go to college. In the event that none of these situations apply, the scholarship is going to depend on the specific student and the desire that the university has in order to add a diverse population to their population at any given point in time. There are many scholarships that are intended to help students that have turned their lives and their grades around. Also, students that have a talent for the arts would have the largest amount of options. There are also options which are specifically designed to offer assistance to students that have demonstrated an artistic ability that would make them a great addition to the university. The options are endless when it comes to where you can find funding to make an amazing education possible.

If working with children is something that you enjoy as part of your life, this would serve you well as a teacher in the future. Consider these jobs as training that you are going to use in order to understand how to run a classroom in the future. In the mean time, you will care for the needs of children and simply be an example that they look up to while they are in school. Only you know what it is that you enjoy, but reaching for the stars would be important. Do not make the mistake of telling yourself that you cannot work in teaching. Instead, you should understand that you can easily get a job teaching English anywhere in the world. Become a teacher and the way that you view the world and education in general will change.

Michelle Gellard, from the Isle of Dogs, was pulled unconscious to the surface by a member of the public and two St John Ambulance cadets gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
She was taken to Colchester General Hospital by air ambulance but pronounced dead an hour later.
The girl and her family had been at the "fun for all" session at Blackwater Leisure Centre in Maldon on Saturday afternoon. The pool has a flume, whirlpools, a waterfall and a jungle river. A leaflet advises that children under eight should not use the ride unless accompanied by an adult.
A spokesman for Leisure Connection, which runs the council-owned centre, said there had been an adequate number of lifeguards on duty.
Graham Farrant, chief executive of Leisure Connection, added: "All our thoughts and sympathies are with the family."
Maldon council is conducting an inquiry after police said the girl's death was not suspicious.

2816 Tasting Notes
This is a gorgeous white peony with long green, olive and brown leaves. The wet leaves have a lovely intoxicating floral aroma.
My cup was steeped for around 2 minutes at 170 F. My cup is a light, soft yellow. Yesterday we were at the Legion of Honor for a show about the Victorian Avant-Garde and I have Whistler's "Symphony in White #1"and some other similar works on the brain today. I want to put this tea in a china cup next to some white lilies…
This is a very subtle and sweet white peony, it has a delicate hay and clover like aroma. It's lightly floral with a light sweetness which produces a very relaxing feeling. I'm not an expert on white peony but I really enjoyed this. As the tea cools down a bit, I'm noticing a creamy rich feeling about this lingering in my mouth. Perhaps my favorite from Shang so far is the honeysuckle white but this is lovely too.
I also owe my sample of this to Narwhalclub! I've been wanting to try this tea for a while after I read about it in "The Story of Tea: A Cultural History and Drinking Guide".
This was very smoky and I was already scared of it since you could smell it through the envelope… :)
I steeped this for 5.5 minutes and then let it decant according to the instructions of the website. I was not overly generous with the leaf – I had about 2 teaspoons for a 16 oz teapot. I knew I wanted to share this one with my boyfriend. He says it reminds him of cigars or single malt scotch, specifically Laphroaig.
I don't drink scotch (ick) but I agree with the reviewer that mentioned this was like barbeque sauce. It's smoky but also a bit sweet at the same time with some molasses/honey type of flavors in the finish. I figured this would knock me over with smoky flavor but I'm happy it isn't too strong. I never thought I'd find a Lapsang Souchong type of tea I would even remotely tolerate, but this is good! It seems like according to the other reviewers it is also a bit on the lighter side. The flavor is a bit intoxicating the longer I sit here and sip on it. I might have to pick some of this up someday…. and on the list it goes… :)
This came as a free sample in the Lupicia newsletter and anyway I am just in the mood for green tea today somehow.
This is one of those mesh pyramid bags which are great but I don't know if these are the biodegradable kind. Inspecting this somewhat closely to me it looks like a sencha. I steeped it at 170 F for 2 minutes. It is very interesting because the sencha is kind of grassy and vegetal but the strawberry flavor is light and sweet. Some of Lupicia's flavored teas seem almost gummy bear like in the flavor (like the apple I tried recently) but this was a bit more natural in my opinion. Although I enjoyed it I can't help but feel like the strawberry and the green tea are almost competing with each other for attention. And why would Lupicia recommend you steep this in boiling water, I have no idea. Maybe it's a bancha…
Regardless, I do not think I need any more flavored green teas right now… but this was a fun one to try!
I seriously cannot help but make this every time someone mentions it – so I sent some to Tamm and she remarked on how good it smells and I had to have some too. It is one of the best coconut teas out there.
I read so many reviews on this, it sounds so good, so I finally caved the other day and ordered a sample of this and now I'm just waiting for it to come in. I can't wait to try this!
Having a sample of this tea from Bana this afternoon.
Steeping method: xiying teapot after doing a quick rinse
First infusion: 45 seconds. earthy, slightly musty, a hint of smoke and bitterness. Shiitake mushroom aroma. hmmm
Second infusion: 60 seconds. Color is now darker. The tea has a very round mouthfeel and whatever bitterness I was sensing is now gone. The liquor is a gorgeous reddish brown. The flavor is very mild and soothing, woodsy. A tiny bit of sweetness present. Somewhat lighter in flavor than some other shus I have tried recently and a bit uninspired in terms of flavor, but definitely no offensive aromas/flavors.
Third infusion: Sweetness and richness is increasing with no noticeable loss of flavor. I am getting a bit of fruitiness along with some more wood sensations.
Not my favorite shu from Bana so far but still very nice, I enjoyed trying it. I think this would benefit from a few more years of aging perhaps.
I'm so glad you're reviewing all of these Bana ones. I enjoy your puerh tasting notes. I've still not got the palate to pick up the nuances in it. But being able to read good notes like yours makes it easier to recognize what one should be looking for.
My morning cuppa. I raised the rating today by a few points. With a thermometer and a timer it is much easier to control the outcome of this tea and it isn't as astringent now as I remember. It does seem fairly grassy, marine and a bit sweet with a hint of bitterness. Perhaps it has umami… see my previous notes. I love the vivid color of this! bright green with tiny little bubbles….
The second steep at 170 F was nice too… a bit sweeter and milder.
I still prefer the sencha chiran from Lupicia. :)
I decided to switch over to this – I think I was in the mood for something girly. I haven't had this tea in a while and I can't quite place the blend of flavors, vanilla, flowery, lavender something or other? It's quite sweet and aromatic, a nice choice to just wind the evening down… it is very flavored I admit.

Split peas rank up there as one of the heroes of the health-food world, boasting deep reserves of fiber, B vitamins, and dozens of other vital nutrients.But despite their reputation as a straightlaced superfood, something magical happens to split peas when combined with a bit of smoky ham and a long, slow simmer. Slowly they begin to break down, commingling with the ham and the other vegetables to create a thick, creamy broth that could warm even the most frigid soul on a long winter day.
Makes 6 servings
1 tsp olive oil
2 ribs celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 cups water or low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
2 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced
1 smoked ham hock
1 cup split peas
2 bay leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
Tabasco to taste (optional)
Per serving:
300 calories
3.5 g fat (1 g saturated)
780 mg sodium
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, carrots, and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add the water or stock, the potatoes, ham hock, split peas, and bay leaves. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the peas have turned very soft and begin to lose their shape, leaving you with a thick soup. (Thin out with more water or stock if you prefer a thinner consistency.)
Remove the ham hock, shred the meat clinging to the bone, and add back to the soup. Discard the bay leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper, plus a few shakes of Tabasco, if you like.

Location Compliance for Online Mobile Wagering
The Challenge
CG Technology (CG) is an innovative gaming technology solutions provider that pioneered mobile application technologies for gaming, sports wagering and mobile casino betting in the state of Nevada. In the beginning, wagering on mobile devices was restricted to the boundaries of a casino resort's property. Once users left the premises they were no longer able to use the gaming technology on their device and this presented a location verification challenge for all parties involved.
As mobile devices became more complex and secure the boundary restrictions were expanded and competition increased exponentially. Mobile gambling overall is expected to generate a turnover of $100 billion by 2017 and sports betting currently commands 70 percent of all activities.
With this surge in popularity, CG needed to find gaming compliance solutions that expanded the capabilities and reach of its platforms so they would function securely throughout the state of Nevada. For this to be permitted by Nevada's regulation entities, CG would be required to confirm that any mobile device using its platforms was located within state lines. The winning option had to provide secure, instant location intelligence for any mobile device operating programs owned by CG.
The Solution
CG selected LocationSmart's cloud-based network location for its broad reach, security and privacy protection capabilities. The cross-carrier network location API reports lat/long coordinates for each mobile device operating CG's application. With these insights, CG can ensure users are located within the allowed boundary or geofence to comply with regulatory authorities.
The API also includes SMS functionality for text messaging or in-app messages. Consent and permission management are the primary uses, but CG is also able to use SMS for promotional activities, updates and more.
LocationSmart's location services cover 95 percent of U.S. subscribers as a result of its strong relationships with Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, US Cellular and other carriers. These relationships coupled with the API's technology create a streamlined carrier submission and approval process.
The API requires no software installation for quick integration and it boasts industry-leading privacy with un-spoofable location. LocationSmart's cross-carrier network location enabled CG to grow its business and secure its seat at the gaming industry table.
The Results
CG applications can be used anywhere in the state of Nevada and it is rapidly expanding into new global markets through mobile distribution channels made possible by LocationSmart.
It has licensed the mobile gaming, race book, sports pool systems and risk management consulting services to Atlantis, Paradise Island in the Bahamas. CG is has licensed its sports pool systems and mobile apps to The Logrand Group in Mexico and the company is also entertaining opportunities in Macau, Australia and New Zealand.
"With LocationSmart's geo-location services, CG Technology has expanded the availability of sports betting and is changing the way people wager, all within the gaming industry's highly regulated environment."
— Josh Hanson, Chief Information Officer, CG Technology

Some tight ends are known for blocking. Other players at the position make a name as receivers. Garrett Johnson hopes to avoid being placed in either category.
"I feel like I can do a lot of different things well," he said. "If you look at a lot of tight ends, they're either going to be good at blocking or catching the ball. I feel like I can do both at a high level. I think that's pretty rare."
Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan saw enough in Johnson to offer a scholarship. Bigger programs have shown him interest.
"I definitely just want to see what presents itself offers wise," Johnson said. "From there, I guess every player's dream is to go into the NFL. You have to have a back-up plan, obviously. Not everybody is going to make it.
"I just want to be able to get a good education from my football abilities and be able to do something with it after my career is done."
Iowa stopped by St. Charles (IL) North High last week to see Johnson. Assistant Jim Reid said he would call the tight end on Monday and did.
"We spoke for about 20 minutes," Johnson said. "He said that he was interested in me at the tight end spot. He said he was going to send their offensive line coach (Brian Ferentz) to evaluate me and see what he thinks and kind of go from there."
Johnson plans to camp at Iowa on June 10. He'll attend other workouts at Illinois (June 2), Northern Illinois (June 12), Purdue (June 14) and Harvard (June 28).
Johnson took in the spring game at Ball State and dropped in on Eastern and Central Michigan this weekend.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Johnson reports running the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds. He's leaning towards a business major in college.
"I definitely want a great fan base," Johnson said. "I think what comes with that is that you have to have a lot of students. I'm looking for, maybe not a huge school, but just something over 10,000,
"Other than that, I want a coaching staff that gets along well with each other. I just want to feel at home."
It's a decision Johnson hopes to not drag out.
"I definitely don't want it to be something I'm thinking about during the season," he said. "I want to have where I'm going already done. I want to be able to focus on the season at hand. I'm hoping to decide right around after I finish with my camps. That's probably when the offers will stop coming in."

London, June 28 (ANI): Food scientists combine sugar, fat and salt in ways that make junk foods like burgers, chips, cold drinks and pizzas impossible to resist, says a leading expert who claims that cereals and ready meals can act on the brain's reward centres in the same way as tobacco.
David Kessler, former head of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), claims that manufacturers seek to trigger a "bliss point" when people eat certain products.
"It is time to stop blaming individuals for being overweight or obese. The real problem is we have created a world where food is always available and where that food is designed to make you want to eat more of it. For millions of people, modern food is simply impossible to resist," The Times quoted him, as saying.
In his new book, The End of Overeating, David suggests food manufacturers use precise combinations of fat, sugar, salt and texture to make foods "hyper-palatable".
To reach the conclusion, Kessler with researchers at Yale University conducted a study using functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
About 50 percent of obese people and 30 percent of those who are overweight were prone to so-called "excessive activation", the study found.
"The right combination of tastes triggers a greater number of neurons, getting them to fire more," said Kessler.
"The message to eat becomes stronger, motivating the eater to look for even more food," he added.
Kessler said: "Many of us have what's called a 'bliss point' - the point at which we get the greatest pleasure from sugar, fat or salt.
"As more sugar is added, food becomes more pleasurable until we reach the bliss point, after which it becomes too sweet and the pleasure drops off." (ANI)

A Yuwipi Ceremony is known as a Night Sing. Invocation songs are sung in a darkened room to call upon the help of woodland spirits. Fairies, little people, stone spirits, and animals arrive creating an almost indescribable situation. This ritual is a profound experience of spiritual beings manifesting into the physical.
If you are planning to attend a Yuwip\Lowanpi, there are some details that must be mentioned. Women who do attend must be fully clothed covering shoulders and knees. It is traditional for women to wear a shawl. Men dress casually but we do require shirts to be worn even if it is hot in the space. No shiny objects or electronics are allowed (cell phones, watches, or jewelry). Persons wearing a pacemaker should not attend. Once the door is shut no one may enter the Ceremony late so if you arrive after we begin, you will have to attend a future Ceremony and come on time. Children are welcome to attend and usually fall asleep so blankets and pillows are helpful. Participants may bring a pillow or blanket to sit on as well. There will be no bathroom breaks so try not to drink large amounts of liquid before the Ceremony. It is best to be open to the Spirits reaching out to us but we are encouraged not to reach out to them. If participants know these specific songs then they may sing along or hum along but we do ask to refrain from creating songs or sounds that do not belong in this Ceremony. There will be a pipe that is passed around that does not contain tobacco but consists of local herbs. It is not mandatory to smoke the Pipe and simply may be a blessing each person may take for one's self.. This experience is one to never forget. We encourage all in need of a healing to attend as well as to mention this rare Ceremonial to those who may benefit.

The CFI Team
The successful implementation of creatively structured investments in a variety of sectors demands experience, due diligence, and a strong commitment from a management team.
Bernard Zahren, Manager
Bernie Zahren has spent over 40 years in a variety of entrepreneurial and management roles, and brings to CFI a wealth of knowledge in both investment syndications and renewable energy. CEO of Zahren Financial Co., LLC, Mr. Zahren, structured and managed a variety of successful equipment leasing offerings with attributes similar to CFI. His company Zahren Alternative Power Corp. (ZAPCO), a spin-off of Zahren Financial Co, LLC, was built into a portfolio of 27 landfill gas and co-generation projects through acquisition and development. He sold ZAPCO in a transaction valued at $98 million. A respected and active consultant, Mr. Zahren has been instrumental in implementing business focused sustainability initiatives. He has testified before Congressional committees on alternative energy issues and has chaired a special committee that worked for extensions of Internal Revenue Code income tax credits for the production of alternative fuels. Prior to forming his own company, Mr. Zahren developed successful investment syndications for a subsidiary of CIGNA Corp. Early in his career, he held senior management positions in such firms as Angeles Leasing Corp., Architectural Wood Products, Inc. and The Koppers Company. Mr. Zahren truly believes in reducing his own carbon footprint, not only by managing and investing in CFI, but also by his recent renovation to his home which achieved (award winning) "Net Zero Energy" consumption through multiple deployments including: a 15 kilowatt wind turbine, geothermal heating and air conditioning, and a solar thermal hot water system. Mr. Zahren holds a BS from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh.
Rajiv G. Pandya, Special Manager
Rajiv Pandya contributes not only his technical expertise in the solar energy industry, but also his extensive management experience from the national and international corporate world. His passion for and vision of sustainability are respected throughout the industry.
Mr. Pandya spent over 23 years with The Dow Chemical Company prior to his leaving in 2010. His most recent 10 years were served overseas in Shanghai, China, and Bangkok, Thailand, as the company's Chief Procurement Director for the Asia Pacific Region with a spend responsibility of over $2 billion (U.S.) and a staff of 160.
During his first 10 years at Dow, he worked as an Electrical Engineer and Project Manager at their Global Capital Project office in Houston, leading and executing the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) requirements for many multi-purpose manufacturing facilities around the world.
Mr. Pandya is also the owner of an entity known as GreanGrid Solar which identifies renewable energy projects in various areas in the United States.
Mr. Pandya earned his BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston and his MBA from the University of St. Thomas, Houston.
Richard V. Kretz, CPA
Richard Kretz recently retired from CohnReznick LLP. Prior to his retirement he served for 18 years as managing partner of Kostin, Ruffkess and Company, LLC, a 140 person CPA firm. Mr. Kretz was instrumental in executing the merger of Kostin, Ruffkess into JH Cohn, LLP, which then merged with Reznick Group to form the 3,000 person CPA firm based in New York.
Mr. Kretz became a partner in Kostin, Ruffkess in 1987, and became the firm's managing partner in 1993. During his tenure the firm grew from $4 million in revenues to $19 million. While Mr. Kretz was managing partner, the firm created and sold several other entities prior to the merger including KR Wealth Management in which he was active in building the investment advisory practice and ultimately selling the company to new owners.
Mr. Kretz has performed as account manager and subsequently partner in charge of Zahren Financial and its related entities from 1983 to the present. During that time the Zahren entities grew to be the largest client of Kostin, Ruffkess until the company was sold in 2001.
Mr. Kretz is CPA licensed in Connecticut since 1979 and has assisted and consulted with privately held businesses since his graduation from college in 1975. He continues to hold a Series 7 and Series 65 license.

Pulmonary and Critical Care, Duke University, Durham, NC: Lund University Hosptial, Lund, Sweden
SESSION TITLE: Palliative Care and End of Life Issues Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an often progressive, unpredictable, and ultimately fatal condition. Improving end of life (EOL) care and the role of palliative care in PF patients has recently gained recognition, though little is known about these patients' symptom burdens at EOL, access of palliative care services, and quality of EOL care.
METHODS: Patients with PF who died From January 1, 2011 through October 14, 2013 were identified by cross-linking individual patient identifiers from nationwide Swedish registries of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) and EOL care: Swedevox and Swedish Registry of Palliative Care (SRPC). Patients in the SRPC registry who died of cancer in the same time period served as a comparator group to characterize differences in EOL care. We abstracted baseline demographics, pulmonary function at time of LTOT initiation, place of death, prevalence of symptoms at EOL, and symptom relief.
RESULTS: 285 patients with PF and 56,843 with terminal cancer were identified. PF were slightly older than cancer patients: 78± 8, 75± 12 years respectively (p<0.001). A smaller percentage of PF patients were women (39% v 49%, p=0.002). Death was more likely to be unexpected for PF patients (15% v 4%, p<0.001). PF patients were less likely to have died in a palliative care setting (17% v 39%) and more often died in a non-palliative hospital ward (46% v 28%, p<0.001). Breathlessness (75% v. 25%, p<0.001) and anxiety (66% v. 54%, p<0.001) were more common at the EOL for PF patients, whereas pain (52% v 81%, p<0.001) and nausea (14% v. 23%, p=0.003) was more common for cancer patients. Cancer patients were more likely to experience relief of dyspnea, pain, and anxiety.
CONCLUSIONS: PF patients access fewer palliative care services and experience greater symptom burden at the EOL than patients with terminal cancer.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: While these observed differences are likely related in part to disease-specific characteristics, our findings suggest opportunities to improve EOL care for patients with PF.

*From the Division of Surgery, Toneyama National Hospital, Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan.
Correspondence to: Noriyoshi Sawabata, MD, FCCP, Division of Surgery, Toneyama National Hospital, 5–1-1 Toneyama, Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan 560-8552; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytologic technique
(FNAC), a method to detect malignancy for undetermined pulmonary
nodules, may have a high potential to spread malignant cells from the
tumor to the pleural cavity.
Objective: The authors
assessed malignant cell spread through the needle tract following FNAC
for peripheral lung carcinoma.
Materials and methods:
Lung lobes resected from 20 patients during the treatment of lung
carcinoma were examined. The visceral pleura over the lung carcinoma
was irrigated by heparinized saline solution to clean the surface, and
then irrigated before FNAC and irrigated following FNAC to collect
cells on the visceral pleura. FNAC was performed once for each tumor.
Papanicolau's method was employed for cytologic examination.
Results: There were 15 specimens of adenocarcinoma, 4
specimens of squamous cell carcinoma, and 1 specimen of atypical
carcinoid. The maximum diameter of the specimens ranged from 10 to 60
mm (median, 25 mm). Pleural indentation was observed in 15 samples. All
results of FNAC were positive and matched the histologic diagnosis.
Pre-FNAC specimens revealed a positive malignancy rate of 10% (2 of
20), but post-FNAC specimens had a rate of 60% (12 of 20;
p = 0.002)
Conclusion: FNAC has the potential to
spread malignant cells to the pleural space. Further study is needed to
determine the clinical significance of the spread of malignant cells in
the pleural space.

Eight directors for six BOV seats
Eight nominations have been cast for the six seats on the Bank of Valletta board, which will mean several new faces. Incumbents Helga Ellul and Mario Grima will not be contesting, but James Grech, Alfred Lupi and Joe Zrinzo are on the candidates' list.
The candidates are Stephen Agius, Alan Attard, Paul V. Azzopardi, Joseph Falzon and Robert Suban.
Antonio Piras has been nominated by the second largest shareholder UniCredit. The government nominated Taddeo Scerri as chairman replacing John Cassar White, who signalled that he would be stepping down, and Anita Mangion, currently a board director at Malta Industrial Parks and the head of business development of IT company Nextec, as director. George Portanier resigned last September and was not replaced. His selection last year was mired in controversy after he was deemed unfit for the post following an internal exercise, but later given the green light by the Joint Supervisory Team.
The directors will be elected at the annual general meeting on December 16.

This doctor is following his own orders
As president of the American Heart Association, Ralph Sacco knows exactly what to do to reduce his chances of having a heart attack or stroke.
Sponsored Links
He knows he needs to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, keep his salt and sugar intake in check and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as seafood.
But he's the first to admit that he falls short of living a perfect heart-healthy life. "Even though I am doing my best, I may not be doing enough," says Sacco, 53, a neurologist and chairman of the department of neurology at Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami.
Sacco needs to be particularly concerned about his heart health because he has a family history of heart disease and stroke. His mother died of heart disease after a long battle. She was also diabetic. His grandmother had heart disease, and his grandfather had a stroke.
Right now, Sacco's blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar are a little too high. To reduce his risk of a heart attack or stroke, he is trying to:
•Reach and maintain a healthy weight. Sacco's weight had climbed to 187 pounds, which was too heavy for his 5-foot-6 frame, so he started exercising more regularly and cutting back on his intake of desserts, bread and pasta. He now tips the scales at 170 pounds. "It's a better weight but still not the ideal weight for me."
MORE IN THIS SERIES: Exercise helps her age swimmingly
•Exercise regularly. When he became heart association president, he realized he wasn't meeting the heart association's physical activity guidelines, which are at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity each week. "I wasn't as religious about exercise as I should have been," he says.
By Judy S. Reich, for USA TODAY
Ralph Sacco is the president of the American Heart Association, and when he got the job he had to start practicing what they preach and exercise more.
Stay healthy by following these seven simple steps:
These are known as "Life's Simple 7," steps that can help add years to your life:
1. Don't smoke.
2. Maintain a healthy weight.
3. Engage in regular physical activity.
4. Eat a healthy diet.
5. Manage blood pressure.
6. Take charge of cholesterol.
7. Keep blood sugar, or glucose, at healthy levels.
So now he gets up early and works out on the elliptical for 25 minutes most days and does some weight training. On the weekends, he rides his bike near his home in Miami Beach. When he travels, which is frequently, he tries to go to the hotel gym.
•Follow a heart-healthy diet. He loves fruits and vegetables, but he knows he falls short of meeting the daily recommendation of four to six cups. He often has a salad at lunch and usually has a vegetable with dinner and fruit for dessert.
His goal is to have two or more servings (about 3½ ounces each) of fish a week. "I'm trying to make a more conscious effort to have my two servings a week. If you go to an American Heart Association dinner, they often have salmon on the menu."
He uses olive oil, which is an unsaturated heart-healthy fat, and he avoids butter, stick margarine and any other hard fats.
•Watch his sodium intake. Sacco doesn't add any salt to his food or use it when cooking, but he knows most sodium comes from processed foods, and he does eat some of those. He also eats out a lot, and you often "can't control what the cook is putting on your dinner."
Although he tries to consume below 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day, the amount recommended by his group, he doesn't believe he's meeting that goal.
•Curb his sugar intake. He's also trying to reduce his sugar intake by cutting back on desserts and having fruit instead. The heart association says that a high intake of added sugars increases the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
•Take some supplements and medications. He takes a daily multivitamin that has omega-3 fatty acids in it. He takes a low dose of a statin because his total cholesterol is 240, which is a bit too high, and because he has a family history of heart disease. His good cholesterol is too low, so he has been considering taking a niacin supplement. He also takes a baby aspirin daily to help prevent heart attacks. It's advised for people over age 50 with a family history of heart disease.

Yet the pair defied local customs and religion and are part of Pakistan's new women's national cricket team, who take on India in the first series of its kind between the great sporting rivals starting next week.
"I never faced resistance at home because I used to play along with my father and brothers, but I never thought I'd come this far," said Kanta, 24, a right-arm medium fast bowler from Abbotabad, in North West Frontier Province.
Only recently did the the hardline Islamic government in the same province, which borders Afghanistan, lift a ban on male sports coaches training women.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Armana is from Chaghi, a town in the conservative southwestern province of Baluchistan, which is more famous for being near the site of Pakistan's first atom bomb test.
"In an era when tolerance and equality are promoted in all sports, cricket give us girls a way to live freely," said Armana, a wicket-keeper batsman who admires former Pakistan great Wasim Bari and Australian Adam Gilchrist.
India's under-21 team, which on Monday becomes the first-ever Indian womens' team of any sport to cross the border, will play four matches -- on September 28 and 29, and October 1 and 2 -- in the eastern city of Lahore.
The tour is seen as a big step forward for women's rights in this largely conservative Islamic republic. It is also considered a boost for female cricket in general on the subcontinent, where the game is an almost universal passion.
Pakistan staged its first women's football match in September 2004, while a national cricket championship and an international squash tournament were also held for women earlier this year.
However, Pakistan's female cricketers still face the threat of protests or worse from religious zealots, and cricketing authorities have taken steps to prevent trouble.
They have also learnt from the example of a mixed marathon race which met with serious opposition in Lahore in April, leaving a number of people injured when hardliners clashed with police.
"We follow a strict dress code of shalwar (baggy trousers) and long shirts, and male spectators are not allowed to watch our matches, so I don't see there should be any problems," said Shamsa Hashmi, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) women's wing secretary and captain of the Pakistan team.
Opening batswoman Sana Javed, who hails from a small town on the plains of Punjab province, said the baggy clothes were no hindrance.
"We are used to them now and can run as fast anyone," said Sana, whose club cricketer father taught her to bat.
The first moves to introduce cricket to Pakistani women were made by sisters Shaiza and Sharmeen Khan in 1996, but they came at the cost of death threats and court cases.
The siblings were denied permission to play against India by then-prime minister Nawaz Sharif's government in 1997, which ruled that women were forbidden from playing any sports in public.
It was only when the PCB took charge of women's cricket last year that the female game here picked up.
"Women's cricket has come a long way. We owe this progress to the PCB and the Pakistan government," said coach Shahnaz Suhail, who added that her girls were overjoyed about playing India.
And the anticipation is shared by their opponents. "Our girls are really excited about the tour," said Indian team manager Anjali Pendharkar.
Pakistan and India have revived a host of fixtures at all levels in the past two years after sporting links were cut in 2002 because of tensions between their governments, leading to a growing sense of rapprochement.
"There is a lot of curiosity regarding Pakistan and the culture there," said Pendharkar. "They are keen to see how things are in their neighbouring country."

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This duology had an intriguing premise and a fast-paced plot, but it was just not as good (imo) as the Inheritor's Cycle. The truth-as-music metaphor gets stretched way too far in places, bogging the story down to the point where I had to go back and re-read whole sections more than once either because she completely lost me or I just zoned out. Also, as a migraineur, the near constant descriptions of the protaginists' headaches very nearly gave me a migraine of my own.
I was pretty bored by this story. There seemed to be a lot of traveling to and from, while racing to get somewhere before the villain. I found myself skimming through until it seemed like the action was imminent. I never really felt any urgency even though everyone was supposedly in a lot of danger. It felt like there were lots of little quests like retrieve Dafydd, save Ioan, return to Farie etc instead of one main goal where all the pieces fit into the overall story.
Even though this is billed as a romantic fantasy, there is very little romance. In fact there is not much character development at all, aside from Lara's growing powers. Characters from the first book pop in and out of the story with a disruptive suddenness.
The villains were never very clear. First one character and then another would feature as the villain and their motivations seemed hazy. They almost seemed like villains of opportunity. The one plus to this story is what ends up happening with the staff. It was creative and unexpected. But for me that wasn't enough to save the story.

Lara Jansen, having crossed from Earth into the Faerie world of the Barrow-lands, is armed with a malevolent staff which seeks to bend her to its dark will. She is sure of only one thing, her love for Dafydd ap Caerwyn, a Faerie prince whom she helped in solving a royal murder. Now Dafydd is missing--or even dead--as the Barrow-lands move closer and closer to a conflagration, and Lara must harness the perilous magic of the staff and blaze a path to the truth--a truth with the power to save, or destroy, the Barrow-lands.… (more)

Police launch coordinated drug raids across Perth targeting suburban drug dealers
Police have seized drugs, stolen property and illegal firearms in a series of coordinated raids across Perth.
The operation targeting suburban drug dealers has resulted in dozens of arrests.
Teams of police stormed nearly 50 properties across the Perth metropolitan area in surprise early morning raids.
Code-named 'Operation Crackdown', the raids were the culmination of months of planning, with intelligence gathered from calls to CrimeStoppers and covert police surveillance.
The raids were aimed at disrupting street-level drug dealers.
Among the haul, illicit drugs, illegal weapons, stolen property and tens of thousands of dollars in cash suspected to be the proceeds of crime.
As police raided a home in the suburb of Willagee, neighbours clapped and applauded the officers.
Residents say the occupants are not only suspected drug dealers, but are also responsible for much of the anti-social behaviour in the street.
At a house in Two Rocks, Clarkson detectives found two WA police badges along with a quantity of amphetamine, unlicensed ammunition and a four-wheel-drive stolen from an address in Floreat two weeks ago.
Earlier this week, detectives attached to Operation Crackdown raided a Mullaloo home and found $250,000 worth of stolen property, including a car, motorcycles and electronics.
Police say Perth's suburban drug trade is a big driver of property crime, with burglary and stealing offences often committed to support drug habits.
Police are tonight interviewing a number of people, as they tally up the quantities of drugs and other items seized.

If there was ever a fashion option designed specifically for programmers, this would be it.
Indeed, Aria Wear has created a hoodie that can give you a massage when you sit down. We're talking massages while your coding! Massages while you're commuting! Massages while your napping on your computer while commuting!
Naturally, the hoodie massage functions can be controlled via a smartphone app, so you don't have to worry about any cords or unwieldy controllers.
No pricing information has been released thus far, but Aria insists that the hoodie will be affordable, stating that it will be "less than half the price of a smartphone". The design has also passed the prototyping stages and should be available sometime in the coming months.
Keep tabs on the Aria Wear website for more info.

The papers are so full of claptrap and humbug this morning…we don't know what to laugh at first.
There is Hillary's proposal for a 'Gas Tax Holiday,' for example. The initiative is so absurd that even trained economists can see through it. Alice Rivlin, Bill Clinton's former budget director said she was "appalled" at what "looked like pandering." One hundred economists signed an open letter criticizing the proposal – pointing out the obvious, that it would increase driving and divert money now going to the U.S. government to the governments of Arab oil exporters.
Obama has an advantage; Paul Volcker is advising him. So, we can expect a little better. But little better is what we get. Obama proposes a cut in the payroll tax (which finances Social Security) – up to $1,000 – to help families "offset the cost not only of gas, but of food."
As we have said many times, we never met a tax cut we didn't like. But what troubles us is: where are the cuts on the other side of the ledger? If Social Security has less money, how will it keep up with baby boomer retirements?
The weekend press tells us that people are beginning to worry about whether they'll be able to retire at all. The middle class counted on rising house prices. But now house prices are going down. What are they going to do?
They're going to start saving, is the answer. "Consumers to the sidelines," says a Wall Street Journal headline. "Americans cutting back for Mothers' Day," says a headline in the Los Angeles Times.
You will recall why stocks were certain to go to the moon, dear reader. It was "Dow 36,000" for sure – because the baby boomers had to put money in stocks so they could retire. When that mirage disappeared, they turned to residential real estate. People figured that they could buy an extra house at the beach. They would enjoy it on weekends and holidays…and then, when the time came to retire…they could sell the main house and live off the proceeds. That strategy too was fine – as long as prices were rising.
And now the boomers find them themselves with no easy way to finance their golden years. (They should have bought gold when we first suggested it!) What can they do? They have to resort to the old-fashioned, tried and true method – thrift and savings.
Here, we will spell it out:
You take the total amount of income, after tax. Then, you subtract the total amount you spend. If the result is a positive number, at least you are headed in the right direction. If it is a negative number, we suggest you apply for a job in government…maybe with the Council of Economic Advisors or the Congressional Budget Office. Besides, the federal retirement system is the most generous one around – outside of Wall Street.
Yes, dear faithful reader…the U.S. economy is getting a nip on the derriere. The consumers who spent what they didn't have are now forced to save the little they do have. Result: the consumer economy is slowing down. The bubble has sprung a leak…and the feds desperately try to keep pumping it up. (More below…)
But forget the math…forget the ledgers…there's an election to be won…and faint humbug n'er won fair voter. No, the way to win is to go all out…tell the biggest lie possible…promise the moon…and pretend to be something you are completely and emphatically not.
George W. Bush, for example – son of a CIA Chief, Vice President and then U.S. president, educated at Andover, Yale and Harvard, from one of America's richest, most elite New England families – passed himself off as a straight-talking yahoo in a cowboy hat. Now, both Obama and Hillary are trying to pretend that they feel the working classes' pain. Hillary appeals to the redneck instinct for toughness; she will "obliterate" Iran if it lays a hand on Israel, she says.
(Why the yahoos from Kentucky should care what goes on between Israel and Iran has never been fully clarified…but in the final days of imperial grandeur no sparrow can fall anywhere in the world without setting off sensors in the Pentagon…and eliciting a rapid response from the military/industrial/political complex!)
Obama, meanwhile, can pretend to be a man of the people too. He drinks beer, when the occasion calls for it… and shoots hoops with the locals. Of course, neither politician would probably give the blue collar workers the time of day were it not for the fact the yahoos are likely to vote tomorrow.
Yes, dear reader, tomorrow is now the big day…the showdown between the two democratic candidates. If Obama wins big…he can say goodbye to Hillary. If the Clintons win big, they could still win the nomination…and probably, the election. At least, that's what the pundits say…
And so we see how democracy really works…by flimflam and bamboozle.

While I could select any of the search results and have the address entered as a destination for the navigation system, Jeep should give drivers access to Bing from the destination screen. It does not make sense to bury it on the apps screen.
Jeep also puts Sirius Travel Link in the apps area, which shows weather, fuel prices, movie times, and sports scores. More intriguing, there is a slot on the apps screen for a Uconnect app store. Although I found few offerings currently, it has the potential for a great deal of expansion.
The only problem I found with the Grand Cherokee's touch-screen interface is that it could be a little sluggish. It was not as bad as some of the slower systems out there, but it was not as fast as a newer tablet or smartphone. Its reaction times were similar to those of a Kindle Paperwhite.
Speaker load
Further showing itself to be one of the more advanced systems on the market, the Grand Cherokee's voice command also let me request music by name from an iPhone cabled to the car's USB port.
Next to the USB port sat an SD card slot as another audio source. The stereo also offered Bluetooth audio streaming, HD Radio, and satellite radio. The interface for each source looked good, even showing album art in some cases, and proved easy to use. Missing were such online audio sources as Pandora or Spotify, although the Uconnect app store suggests that these may show up at a later date.
Music plays through a very nice Harman Kardon audio system, at least with the Summit trim. The specs said the system boasted 20 speakers, including a subwoofer and center, but I could not find all of them. However, the 825-watt amp left a good impression in my ears.
Set to default equalization levels, the system leaned toward bass, which I enjoyed. The sub exerted a palpable force through the car, so that I felt as well as heard the music. However, it did not shake the door panels or cause other unfortunate noise. It also did a fine job with mid- and high ranges, delivering a full, textured sound. I would not put this system up there with the highest-level audiophile systems, but it was quite good, and far from what one might expect from a Jeep.
As if that amount of cabin tech were not enough, Jeep includes a number of driver assistance features to smooth out long road trips. The Grand Cherokee Summit featured adaptive cruise control and a blind-spot monitor, the latter very useful considering the high-riding position, which can obscure smaller cars to either side.
What seemed a little strange is that Jeep includes one button that engages normal cruise control, and another that engages the adaptive cruise control. Choice is usually good, but the two-button arrangement is unnecessary. Jeep makes use of the LCD speedometer to show a representation of the currently set following distance, which I could adjust using buttons on the steering wheel.
The adaptive cruise control did a good job of smoothly adjusting to the changing speeds of cars ahead. While following a line of cars heading toward a stoplight, I kept my foot off the brake to see what the Grand Cherokee would do. As the cars slowed to a halt, the Grand Cherokee braked until it got down to about 25 mph, at which time it sounded off a warning telling me that I should take over control. I believe this system would be technically capable of bringing the Grand Cherokee to a full stop, but Jeep probably does not want to deal with the liability.
The Grand Cherokee also had a backup camera, which proved surprisingly devoid of features. It lacked both trajectory and distance lines, either of which might come in hand given the limited rear visibility. A surround camera system would also have been nice for both maneuvering around boulders and parking lots.
Trail drive
And speaking of boulders, the Grand Cherokee performed very well on a trail drive, especially considering its stock Goodyear Fortera HL All-Season rubber. At a Jeep-sponsored event, I drove the 2011 Grand Cherokee along a technical course, where it performed admirably. I do not believe this update loses anything in that regard.
The trail I drove in this car afforded me the opportunity to see how it handled a rocky, moderate descent and climb. Putting it into its 4WD Low setting required shifting to Neutral, then its automatic Hill Descent control let me keep my foot off the brake and concentrate on steering. The Grand Cherokee's systems automatically compensated for wheel slip and kept the vehicle in control.
The Selec-Terrain control offers settings for snow, sand, mud, and rock, although that last only worked when I also engaged 4WD Low. Most of the time, even on a dirt road, I left it in Auto, which automatically adjusted torque and other settings depending on what its sensors told it.
Excellence improved
Jeep did an excellent job with the 2014 Grand Cherokee, improving it many ways without messing anything up. I particularly like that the touch-screen interface for the cabin tech works so well, yet is so simple. Other automakers could really take a lesson from Jeep in this regard.
There are a few minor issues I found with the Grand Cherokee. First, that touch screen could be just a little snappier in its reaction times. The two buttons for cruise control seemed unnecessary, and added to button clutter. Likewise, one button on the steering wheel activates voice command for navigation and audio, while another activates the hands-free phone system. I would normally cite something like that as a larger problem, but Jeep keeps the buttons compact and close together, with well-differentiated icons.
One odd glitch I noticed was that the vehicle had a tendency to stay in night mode, dimming the LCDs, after I drove through a tunnel or shady spot in the road. That became a little annoying, but was quickly addressed by taking the headlights out of automatic mode.
I would also like to see a direct-injection system on this engine, increasing its efficiency, but the diesel engine option makes for a reasonable answer.
Given that the 2014 Grand Cherokee offers a great amount of comfort for road trips, a nice luxury interior, modern and useful cabin electronics that include apps, and real off-road capability, I would say most of the issues I found were easily outweighed by all the goodness.

August 1910, Andros, Bahamas, d. 18 March 1984, Nassau, Bahamas. Playing guitar and singing, Spence built an extensive repertoire of songs that incorporated Bahamian folk music and a great many hymns. He performed all his music in a highly distinctive and usually somewhat eccentric manner that brought him many admirers. While he inspired other artists, such as Ry Cooder, John Renbourn and Taj Mahal, his style was so idiosyncratic that few if any appear to have attempted to emulate him. The Bahamian folk music that Spence performed is known as rhyming and might be described as a form of rhythmic verse. Spences vocal sound was hoarse and he sometimes forsook words for guttural moans and grunts. His guitar playing was complex and strikingly unlike that of other folk artists of his own or any other land. Indeed, his tuning of the guitar (D A D G B E) was unusual by orthodox standards. He sometimes performed with his sister Edith and her husband Raymond Pinder,...

Vadodara: The Aussies went 1-0 on Sunday, winning by four runs as India"s tail-end batsmen almost pulled off a sensational victory.
India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni blamed his batsmen for their four-run loss to Australia in the series opener, but said they will bounce back in the seven-match series.
"It was a target which we should have achieved. But we were four wickets down by the powerplay. But thanks to Harbhajan and Praveen, they made the match interesting," Dhoni said.
Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar put on 84 runs for the eighth wicket and it was only a devastatingly accurate last over from Aussie bowler Peter Siddle that restricted the Indian surge.
Hero Honda Cup (Ind V Aus) - Fixture
"We have to work a bit on our bowling but our batsmen need to bat. Chasing 293, it is not possible to win with only one batsman scoring 50. We have an experienced batting line-up and it will bounce back."
However, Dhoni is happy with the Ishant Sharma return to form in time, saying the young quick had found his rhythmn again.
Finally, it shows absence of Yuvraj Singh costed India heavily.
The second match takes place in Nagpur on Wednesday and is another day-night contest.
