A Yonkers police captain will be a guest at the wedding of a woman whose life he saved more than 20 years ago, when she was an infant.
Capt. Joseph Barca will attend the wedding of Shammarah Hamideh Sunday outside Chicago. Barca saved Hamideh's life when she was two months old on Dec. 28, 1993, by giving her CPR while responding to a call at her home in Yonkers.
Barca recalled finding the girl limp and her father distraught when he arrived at their home. He hit her back until he cleared an obstruction from her throat, and the girl was breathing on her own by the time she headed to the hospital.
"I was ecstatic that I was able to save this young lady," Barca said.
Barca and Hamideh formed a life-long friendship. He sends her a birthday card every year, and the now-20-year-old woman said she headed to nursing school so she could help save others as Barca saved her.
"The father said to me, 'I gave her life the first time, you gave her life the second time; you're her American father,'" Barca said.
Barca -- who has three adult children of his own -- said he also sees Hamideh as a daughter. And he gave a warning for her fiance, truck driver Mohammed Salah.
"I said, 'You got her father, and you got me to deal with if you don't treat this girl right."

The three basic types of
Down syndrome are trisomy 21, translocation, and
mosaicism. All types of Down syndrome result from irregular
chromosomes in some or all of the baby's cells. These
irregularities are caused by abnormal cell division, usually in the egg but
sometimes in the sperm, before or after conception. It is not completely
understood why this occurs.
Most people who have Down syndrome have an entire extra
chromosome (47 instead of 46) in every cell in their body. This type of Down syndrome is not genetically inherited.
Abnormal cell division occurs in the egg (95% of trisomy 21 cases) or sperm (5%
of trisomy 21 cases) before or after conception. As the embryo develops, the
extra chromosome is copied (replicated) in every cell of the body.
Older women are at higher risk than younger women of
having a baby with trisomy 21. As a woman ages, the chromosomes in her eggs are
more likely to divide incorrectly.
A few people with Down
syndrome have a type called translocation. This type of Down syndrome may be passed down through families (inherited), but most cases are chance events. Although the total number of chromosomes is
normal (46), a part of chromosome 21 breaks off, attaches to another
chromosome, and produces the signs and features of Down syndrome.
A few people with Down syndrome have a type called
mosaicism. This type is not inherited. Mosaicism results from abnormal cell
division in only some cells after fertilization, while others divide normally.
The cells that divide abnormally produce 47 chromosomes, with the extra genetic
material from chromosome 21. As the embryo grows, both normal and abnormal
cells continually replicate. Even though half of the cells may be normal,
symptoms usually are nearly the same as those that occur with other types of
Down syndrome. But children with more normal than abnormal cells may have fewer
features of Down syndrome.

MKR 2014 finals recap: Victorian girls stay alive
It's the last of the instant restaurant elimination rounds, which means that bottom-ranking Tassie besties, Thalia and Bianca, are hoping that Helena and Vikki bomb out tonight in a big way.
"Just because the others teams had a meltdown doesn't mean that we're going to have a meltdown," says Vikki as Helena drives to the shops in stony silence.
"I need a little more energy from you please," says Vikki.
"I'm concentrating!" replies Helena.
What's great about the twins is that more than any other couple on the series, they are able to be brutally honest with each other in a way that only siblings can.
It surprises no one that their menu is a smorgasbord of Greek dishes, with one curious exception - the Portuguese Piri Piri quail for a main, which they say they chose to "take them out of their* comfort zone."
Manu wishes they'd stayed comfy. "It seems like they're getting away from Greece," he says. "It would have been nice to stay on the islands."
The prep is going well, except for one small but important detail - the octopus in their entree isn't cooking as it should. Helena cranks up the heat, and we nervously twitch in our seats at home - turning up the heat rarely ends well on this show.
Lo and behold, the next time it's checked, the octopus is very tough. Negative Nancy aka Helena, is ready to throw in the towel. Competition's over, see you later, she says, before retreating to the laundry where she has a meltdown on a small scale. Nothing like the Tassie besties and the Adelaide Mums managed, mind - her twin will never let her get away with that.
"Don't you cry on me," warns Vikki, and Helena's tears evaporate in fear. Instead, she returns to the shops to buy some more octopus but unfortunately for Vikki does not come back with a new attitude. How on earth she has time to go to the shops, get changed, and cook the fresh batch of octopus without making the guests wait an eternity is one of this show's great mysteries (the other being who cast Pete Evans as judge).
Arriving, the guests are pleased with the Greek decor. Even Chloe and Kelly admit it looks good, via a travel story. "Didima is set up really well and takes us back to fonder memories of Greece," they say. "Fonder memories than this instant restaurant."
When the entrees are finally served, against all odds, they're a hit. The baby octopus is tender and the prawns wrapped in kataifi, a Greek pastry that resembles vermicelli noodles, are cooked perfectly.
"This to me is a celebration - a celebration of your heritage and a celebration of produce," says Pete.
"It doesn't look amazing, but it tastes fantastic," says Manu of the octopus.
Galvanised by the success of their entrees, Helena turns her frown upside down, but they hit a stumbling block when the fat on the lamb hasn't rendered properly. After much deliberation, she decides to throw it in the pan for a little longer, which doesn't quite do the trick.
Helena, staggeringly, decides that the quail doesn't need a sauce. Is she mental? Manu loves the sauce.
We're told as much when he declares the rice a little dry. The quail, though, was cooked to perfection, and those super-nice Tassie besties are ready to concede defeat.
Pete wonders why they've chosen the rack of lamb as opposed to the more traditional shoulder. "Why not take two steps back and cook what you'd cook at home?" he asks, but you just know if they'd done that it would have been deemed too simple. Pete's so hard to please.
Predictably, Chloe and Kelly moan about the fat not being rendered on the lamb, and despite the fact that the beans taste beautiful, "It's just a tomato sauce." Shut up.
On to dessert, and the Greek dessert queens are struggling with what is usually their strong suit. The galaktoboureko, which sounds like some sort of galactic faeces but is actually a traditional Greek baked custard, has not cooked properly, but they've run out of time, they have to get it out.
They're more confident about their hazelnut mousse cake, but this proves to be unfounded. It's Pete's least favourite dish of the evening. He's struggling to taste the hazelnut flavour, and he makes the valid point that the macadamia crumble chosen to decorate the hazelnut mousse seems an odd one. Oddly, no one makes a joke about the twins sharing the one brain.
Manu, too, was underwhelmed by his dessert. "What I got is a little far from what I expected," he says. "There's not enough filo [pastry] and it's not crispy enough."
In the end though, it's more than enough to get them over the line. Collectively, they get a 24 out of 40 from the other contestants, including a relatively generous 5 from the WA girls.
From Manu and Pete, they get an additional 41 points, including two 9s for their entree. In spite of their low-scoring desserts, they're through, and the Tassie besties, sweet little lambs that they are, go home in tears, but with their heads held high.
Next week, Paul and Blair face off Chloe and Kelly in the finals, while the Mums will challenge the twins. At least two meltdowns are almost guaranteed. Let the games begin.

College football is Bahamas bound for bowl game
The Associated Press
A new college football bowl game will be played in the Bahamas, starting in 2014.
The game will be rotated among teams from five conferences: Mid-American, American Athletic, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Conference USA.
The game will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium in Nassau before New Year's Eve and the deal with the conferences runs for six years.
The MAC will be the anchor team for the first four seasons. Last week, the five leagues announced a similar arrangement with a new bowl in Boca Raton, Fla., to be played at Florida Atlantic's stadium.
The conferences are expected to soon announce the creation of another game to be played at Marlins Park in Miami and anchored by the American Athletic Conference.

Metro stands to lose $8 million in federal funding for capital projects because of automatic budget cuts.
Metro currently receives $150 million a year in federal funds to match money contributed by the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia for capital projects. Chief Financial Officer Carol Kissal says the reduction will affect long-term projects.
Some bus purchases and station improvements will likely be delayed. Also, plans to replace the electronic fare card system with one that would allow riders to pay with credit cards could be deferred and reduced in scope.
Metro had expected to lose $12 million in capital funding, but the agency says it was notified March 1 that the cut would be smaller.
Metro says it could lose an additional $10 million if federal worker furloughs decrease ridership.

Researchers from USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Brazil's Embrapa Soja have identified a cluster of genes that confer resistance to the fungus that causes Asian soybean rust (ASR). While still in the early stages of research, this discovery could go far toward developing soybean varieties resistant to ASR, which was first detected in the U.S. in 2004.
Collaborators from Embrapa Soja identified markers that were closely linked to the Rpp4 gene, says Michelle Graham, geneticist at the ARS Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research Unit in Ames, IA. Using genomic techniques, USDA/ARS, in collaboration with Iowa State University researchers, screened pieces of the soybean genome to identify resistance sequences near the marker. Virus-induced gene-silencing technology was used to turn off the resistance genes in resistant parent plants. "If you have the right gene, the resistant parent should become susceptible," Graham says.
These technologies enabled the researchers to identify the resistance gene, which could then be bred into a susceptible soybean line to make it resistant. The problem, Graham says, is that the genes that convey resistance are 16 times larger than the average soybean gene. This makes it difficult to transfer resistant genes into susceptible lines using an agrobacterium carrier, for example.
It is difficult to predict how soon the ARS-resistant soybean varieties will be planted in experimental trials. It could be as long as 10 years, Graham says. ARS has screened a huge number of varieties and has found that resistance to Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the fungi that causes ASR, is rare, she says. Screenings of 15,000 accessions in the ARS soybean germplasm collection revealed that less than 5% of the accessions are resistant.
This rarity in nature may mean that resistance to the fungus may come at a cost to the plant. "Once we have the gene completely identified, we will have to measure the cost," Graham says. Yield loss from ASR is high in Brazil so developing a resistant variety might be worth the cost. Yield loss from ASR is not as high in the U.S. at this point in time.
Soybean rust has been reported in five states (Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida) to date, according to the soybean Rust and Aphids Program.

Just as Milford residents had the chance to vote on a proposed casino, residents statewide will now have an opportunity to voice their own opinion, thanks to a Supreme Judicial Court ruling Tuesday that allows a referendum question in November.
The question, pushed forward by the group Repeal the Casino Deal, will call for repealing the 2011 law that would allow three resort casinos and one slots parlor license to be issued across the state.
The ruling overturns Attorney General Martha Coakley's finding that the proposed ballot question is unconstitutional because it would cause casino developers to lose property without compensation.
Voters in the Milford area and surrounding MetroWest towns who fought against a local casino proposal last year are happy with the court's decision and look forward to a victory in the fall.
"I think it's an issue that should have been on the ballot from day one," said Cathy Mitchell, a member of the former anti-casino group Casino-Free Milford and a local organizer for Repeal the Casino Deal.
Mitchell, who worked with the Milford group last November that helped defeat a proposal by Foxwoods to develop a $1 billion casino in town, said she expects the ballot initiative to be successful.
"There's going to be a lot more to do, but I think people are more in tune to what's going on," Mitchell said. "The casinos have had problems, the gaming commission has had problems and the whole process has been mired in controversy."
Brian Herr, a Hopkinton selectman who led the MetroWest Anti-Casino Coalition, said he sees the ruling as a victory for towns like his and for those across the state.
"I think it's a win for all of Massachusetts to get the opportunity to weigh in on this critical issue in our state before it goes forward," Herr said. "Only three or four host communities out of 351 towns were going to get a chance to vote. We're all basically surrounding communities."
Herr said Hopkinton saw firsthand how surrounding communities were ignored by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, charged with issuing the licenses currently allowed under the law.
Milford's case, though, is one that casino opponents should find encouraging, according to Herr.
"Polls had the casino being strongly supported, but as people learned more about the casino industry and what would take place in five to 10 years, those numbers dropped," Herr said. "People will understand this, study it and, in the end, vote against it."
He is now part of the leadership team for this statewide effort and said many Hopkinton residents have been working hard to support the Repeal the Casino Deal effort.
State Rep. Carolyn Dykema, D-Holliston, who was a strong opponent of casinos on behalf of her constituents, said while they were pleased not to have a casino in their backyard, their biggest complaint was that they weren't being listened to.
"One of the concerns I heard most frequently is that they weren't able to have their voices heard," Dykema said. "I fully believe my constituents will be pleased with this. This will provide a vehicle for their voices to be heard."
The decision comes after the lead repeal attorneys on May 5 urged justices to recognize that the state's initiative petition law is built on the presumption that people have the right to vote on matters like casinos.
The group said last week that it had collected more than double the required number to put the question to a popular vote.
"While this ruling marks a huge hurdle now cleared, it's also the firing of the starting gun in this incredibly important campaign," casino repeal chairman John Ribeiro said. "We know Massachusetts can do better than this casino mess. We're elated at the opportunity to continue sharing the truth about casinos and the harm they would bring to our communities. Now's the time to dig our heels in and spread our message."
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
Milford: Casino repeal vote gives voters a say
Just as Milford residents had the chance to vote on a proposed casino, residents statewide will now have an opportunity to voice their own opinion, thanks to a Supreme Judicial Court ruling Tuesday that allows a referendum question in November.

Subscribe To Ender's Game Makes Impressive $1.4 Million From Halloween Showings Updates
I've already subscribed
Were kids across America packing up their trick-or-treating hauls and bringing it to the movie theater last night? At least enough of them were to make midnight showings of Ender's Game a solid success. Early numbers at The Hollywood Reporter say the PG-13 sci-fi film made $1.4 million from early screenings on Thursday, putting in a good position for a weekend box office contest it's expected to win.
That $1.4 million is nearly identical to the haul brought in by early screenings of Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa last week, on its way toward knocking Gravity out of the #1 box office spot. It's hard to imagine more different successes than Bad Grandpa and Ender's Game, but they're both bringing in enough existing fans to make midnight screenings a big event. It's not just critics who are generally happy with this big-budget adaptation of Orson Scott Card's classic children's novel; hardcore fans of the book, like our own Kelly West, are coming back thrilled with the way that director Gavin Hood brought the beloved book to life. It's one thing to make a movie based on a popular book, and another entirely to make one that satisfies the fans-- it's the difference between a Hunger Games-style hit or a Golden Compass-style disappointment.
I've never read Ender's Game, nor have I see the movie, but I've been fascinated by multiple personal accounts like this one, from people who were once kids in love with Ender's Game who then grew up to understand Orson Scott Card's deplorable political views and feel conflicted about the book they'd loved so much. The movie Ender's Game isn't exactly for those people-- it's a PG-13 movie, they need kids to come way more than 20 and 30-somethings-- but Summit and Lionsgate have done a remarkable job of courting those people anyway, cutting Card out of the film's profits and allowing Ender to exist in pop culture on his own again, without the bitter man who creating him mucking things up. It's a remarkable marketing coup, and though I doubt much of that $1.4 million came from parents allowing their kids to go to the movie now that they know the homophobe won't profit from it, it can't hurt either. Orson Scott matters to the movie Ender's Game about as much as he did for the kids who read the book in the 80s and knew nothing about the man at all.
Let us know in the comments if you're seeing Ender's Game this weekend, and if the boycott controversy affected you one way or another. If you're still on the fence about seeing it, here's the latest trailer.

I am looking to sell (2) four-lane Microwizard K2 timers. Both timers were purchased for and have been used solely on a four-lane Besttrack.
Both have been taken care of for the duration though will show some wear from use in hundreds of derbies. I purchased two timers in order to have a backup in case of malfunction or breakage. Both come with carrying cases, transformers, RJ-11 cable.
I don't know of any malfunction with either timer, though 2 years ago I had to have Microward replace the female power socket which was damaged during a derby. It has since worked without issue. From what I see on Microwizard's site, these timers are no different than a timer purchased today.
You will need to contact Microwizard to purchase the switch for the start gate. ($15.00 on Microwizard's site)
Reason for selling: I've purchased the Champ timer from Besttrack for the features it offered.
I was thinking $125 for each which would include FedEx Home Delivery in the lower 48. Not looking to sell them together.
Please contact me via email.

Diversity at CARE
Diversity at CARE
Publication info
CARE employs 12,000 people worldwide. At CARE, employees are as diverse as the people we serve. Our employees can be found in more than 65 countries across the globe and the staff at our CARE USA headquarters office represents over 40 different nationalities. At CARE we know that recruiting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce is critical to achieving our mission of ending global poverty. CARE defines "diversity" beyond the regular classifications of gender, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age and disability, and includes diversity of perspectives that uphold CARE's core vales. Our goal is to create and maintain a work environment that promotes diversity in everything we do.
Why Is Diversity Important to Our Vision?
Understanding and appreciating the value of diversity and gender equity is how we approach our work. Our vision of a world of "hope, tolerance and social justice" challenges the organization not only to combat discrimination in all its forms, but also to harness the value that diverse perspectives bring to the work that we do. Realizing our vision and upholding our mission and core values, requires us to apply standards to our organizational behavior that support and reaffirm the equal dignity and rights of all.
CARE's Business Rationale for Diversity
To enhance and advance our humanitarian work, we need a variety of perspectives to inform relevant and responsible choices about program design, management and implementation;
To increase capacity within communities in which CARE works, we need to build collaborative relationships and partnerships among a variety of people;
CARE's mission calls for affirming the dignity and worth of all people;
Our differences in knowledge, approach and perspective are the source and spring of innovation and learning, which CARE's successful future depends on; and
At CARE, we believe that promoting diversity is the right thing to do and that it upholds CARE's core values of Respect, Integrity, Commitment and Excellence
CARE's Framework for Action
In order to maintain a diverse work environment, CARE has undertaken analysis and developed action plans to advance these leverage areas.
Representation - building diversity at all levels throughout the organization, and ensuring that staff has an opportunity to contribute to decision-making, including both strategic and operational issues;
Facilitating an Environment of Trust by Effectively Managing Change - maintaining an environment where staff feel trusted, authorized to contribute fully to CARE and valued for who they are and what they do; and
Learning About Diversity - building the capacity of staff and the organization to learn, and to use this learning for advancing diversity and organizational effectiveness.

Authorities found two more guns at the home of a man suspected of fatally shooting his caseworker and grazing his psychiatrist in suburban Philadelphia before the doctor pulled out his own weapon and fired back.
The weapons and a computer were seized from Richard Plotts' home in Clifton Heights, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said Saturday.
Authorities plan to arraign Plotts on a murder charge after he awakens at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he underwent surgery late Thursday. He is sedated and under guard.
Plotts, 49, was at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital for an appointment earlier Thursday when he began ranting about its gun ban and then drew a gun from his waistband and shot his caseworker, 53-year-old Theresa Hunt, psychiatrist Lee Silverman told police.
Silverman crouched behind a chair, pulled out his own weapon and fired back, striking Plotts several times, authorities said.
Plotts had 39 unspent bullets on him when he was wrestled to the ground, police said. Two guns were also found at the scene, including a revolver that police say Plotts used to kill Hunt.
"If the doctor did not have a firearm, (and) the doctor did not utilize the firearm, he'd be dead today, and I believe that other people in that facility would also be dead," Whelan said.
Police in Upper Darby, where Plotts once lived, were aware of at least three mental health commitments, including once after he cut his wrists and once when he threatened suicide. Whelan said Plotts had spent time in a mental health facility, but he did not discuss any potential diagnosis.
Plotts's record also includes past assault, drug and gun charges, including one of possessing a weapon when banned from doing so, according to police and court records. And he has been barred from at least one residential shelter because of his violent history, Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said.
"The caseworkers and the doctors and the catchment centers — they know who violent individuals are because they're frequent fliers," Chitwood said. "And the system is not geared toward keeping these people housed somewhere until they start to be better."
Plotts was expected to be charged with first-degree murder in Hunt's death, along with other charges in the shots fired at Silverman, who was struck in the thumb and grazed in the temple.
The psychiatrist has not spoken publicly about the encounter with his patient. His wife said Friday he was resting at home and did not want to comment.
Cathy Nickel, a neighbor of Plotts when he lived at an apartment complex in Upper Darby, saw a caseworker move him out of the building about a year ago. As he was taken away, she said, he yelled, "You haven't heard the end of me!"
Plotts doesn't have a listed home number, and it was unclear if he has relatives in the area.
Hospital policy bars anyone except on-duty law enforcement officers from carrying weapons on campus, said a Mercy Health System spokeswoman. Nonetheless, the hospital thanked Silverman and colleagues who helped subdue Plotts for their "brave and difficult action" and said it would welcome Silverman back.

Superfoods for Your Heart
Surprise! A bean burrito and a cup of hot cocoa are just a few of the options that will help slash your blood pressure, cholesterol, and homocysteine levels. Here, eight foods you can't afford to skip.
Superfoods for Your Heart
While it would be nice to live on chocolate for the entire month of February, be sweet to your heart and aim for a more balanced diet. "If you eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins, you can greatly reduce your heart-disease risk," says David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Yale Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Connecticut.
You probably already know that walnuts, salmon, and oatmeal help keep your ticker beating strong. So we've done some digging and found eight additional foods that also get the seal of approval from the experts. Go ahead and set that box of chocolates aside, and try one of the following heart-healthy options now.
Surprise Superfood: Oranges
This citrus supplies over 4 grams of fiber and 55 mcg of folate (nearly 15% of the recommended daily intake) per fruit.
Folate breaks down homocysteine, an amino acid in your blood that can damage the lining of the arteries and promote blood clots. A Journal of the American Heart Association study found that people who consumed at least 300 mcg of folate daily had a 20% lower risk of stroke and a 13% lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those who got less than 136 mcg daily.
Hearty Ideas
- Make a stir-fry with lean ground beef, orange segments, and snow peas; serve with brown rice.
- Build a colorful salad with spinach, orange slices, avocado, and smoked salmon.
- Try a sweet take on potato salad: Toss roasted sweet potato with a cut-up orange and olive oil.
Surprise Superfood: Avocado
This fruit, a staple of the Mediterranean diet, has proven heart-health benefits. "It has monounsaturated fats and also a decent amount of soluble fiber—half an avocado supplies about 7 grams of fiber," says Joy Bauer, R.D., author of Food Cures: Treat Common Health Concerns, Look Younger & Live Longer (Rodale Press). It's especially valuable for the type of monounsaturated fat it contains: cholesterol-lowering oleic acid, the same one found in olive oil. Avocados also have potassium, a mineral that helps blunt the spike in blood pressure that sodium triggers.
Hearty Ideas
- Mash an avocado into guacamole.
- Top black bean soup with a few avocado slices.
- Make a Southwest turkey burger with avocado and salsa.
Surprise Superfood: Trout
Unless you're a fish aficionado, you may not have tried trout. But this oily fish has sweet, flaky flesh that is chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids. "These healthy fats reduce levels of triglycerides, a fat your body produces that is associated with heart-disease risk," explains Bauer. "Omega-3s may also increase high-density lipoprotein [HDL, or 'good' cholesterol]." Salmon gets all the buzz for being the omega-3 superstar, with 0.7-1.8 grams per 3-ounce serving (roughly the size of a deck of cards), but trout is close behind with 0.8-1.0 gram per serving. Bottom line? You'll reel in heart benefits.
Hearty Ideas
- Instead of a chicken or salmon Caesar salad, top greens with grilled trout.
- Broil trout with lemon and thyme and serve with whole-grain couscous.
- Make blackened trout tacos with mango, avocado, and salsa.
Surprise Superfood: Cereal
We're not talking about those sugary cereals your kids love; instead look for one with at least 4 grams of fiber per serving, such as Kellogg's Smart Start Healthy Heart, General Mills' Wheat Chex, or Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Flakes & Wild Blueberry Clusters. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that people who ate whole-grain cereal two to six times per week had a 22% lower instance of heart failure than those who didn't eat any. "Fiber stabilizes blood glucose and insulin levels, so it guards against insulin resistance—one of the major drivers of heart disease," says Dr. Katz. Think of insulin as a doorman who ushers glucose out of blood and into cells so your body can use it as sugar. When your body is resistant to insulin, the door gets stuck, so you produce even more insulin to try to force it open. This increases inflammation in the arteries and contributes to hardening that leads to stroke and heart attack.
Hearty Ideas
- Make trail mix with whole-grain cereal, cranberries, and dark chocolate.
- Build a parfait with low-fat yogurt, whole-grain cereal, and berries.
- Slice a banana the long way and top with peanut butter and crushed whole-grain cereal for breakfast.
Surprise Superfood: Cocoa Powder
You've heard that green tea is heart healthy, but did you know that a mug of hot cocoa may be better? A review that compared the effects of tea and chocolate found that the sweet stuff lowered systolic blood pressure (the top number) by 5 points and diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by 3 points, while tea had no effect. Chocolate bars, unfortunately, don't offer the same benefit. Why? Processing seems to decrease antioxidant content.
"Some powdered cocoas are minimally sweetened, so the cardiovascular benefits are concentrated into fewer calories," says Dr. Katz. "Look for a 60% cocoa content or higher."
Hearty Ideas
- Sip on a mug of hot cocoa (cocoa powder plus nonfat milk) instead of having an after-dinner dessert.
- Stir a spoonful of cocoa powder into your morning coffee.
- Make a Mexican hot cocoa by adding a pinch of chili powder to your cup of hot chocolate.
Surprise Superfood: Canola Oil
It's widely known that olive oil is good for your heart, but it doesn't taste quite right in blueberry muffins. Canola is a great runner-up that works for baking. "It's high in both poly- and monounsaturated fats and is a reasonably good source of omega-3s," says Dr. Katz. So give yourself an oil change. In one study researchers found that when people used canola oil instead of corn, cottonseed, and soybean oils (and canola spread instead of margarine or butter), they decreased their intake of artery-clogging saturated fat by up to 10% and increased their intake of monounsaturated fat by nearly 30%.
Hearty Ideas
- Pop popcorn with canola oil.
- Combine canola oil with lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper for salad dressing.
- Use canola spray instead of shortening to grease pans.
Surprise Superfood: Black Beans
Beans are hard to beat. "They have blood pressure-regulating magnesium, plus soluble fiber, which attaches to cholesterol and whisks it out of the body," explains Bauer. One study of more than 9,500 people found that those who ate legumes at least four times per week had a 22% lower risk of heart disease than those who ate them less than once a week. Black beans also pack serious antioxidant power: A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that they have the highest antioxidant capacity of 12 legumes tested.
Hearty Ideas
- Top a baked potato with black beans and nonfat sour cream.
- Trade the usual refried beans in tacos for black beans.
- Try this dip: Layer black beans, avocado slices, and diced tomatoes and onions; dig in with baked tortilla chips.
Surprise Superfood: Almonds
You can't spell "nutrients" without "nut," and almonds provide plenty of vitamins and minerals that aid your heart. They're packed with arginine, an amino acid that your body uses to produce nitric oxide (a chemical necessary to keep blood vessels flexible), as well as magnesium and calcium, which help manage and maintain normal blood pressure. Almonds are also one of the best dietary sources of vitamin E, an antioxidant that keeps your arteries clean by preventing LDL—"bad" cholesterol—from oxidizing and causing blockages. Still not convinced? In a recent study published in Circulation, men and women who ate about 3 ounces of almonds (two handfuls) daily reduced their LDL by more than 9%.
Hearty Ideas
- Mix almond slivers into brown rice along with some dried cranberries.
- Fill a whole wheat pita with almond butter and sliced banana.
- Stir some sliced almonds into tuna or chicken salad.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Virginia McAndrews of Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) has been named the NAIA Softball National Pitcher of the Week and Kamara Trice of Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) has been selected as the National Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. McAndrews and Trice were selected based on their performances from April 7 – 13 and were chosen out of a pool of conference, independent and unaffiliated group winners.
McAndrews, a 5-foot-4 senior pitcher from Wheaton, Ill., was the pitcher of record in four contests last week for the Tigers. In 20 innings pitched, McAndrews did not allow a run and gave up just five hits. She twirled a perfect game in five innings against Viterbo (Wis.) on April 11 and finished with a no-hitter in five innings versus Roosevelt (Ill.) on April 12. In another contest, an 11-0 win over Robert Morris (Ill.) on April 9, McAndrews allowed just one hit. Overall on the week, she had a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 21:1.
In national statistics, McAndrews ranks No. 3 in ERA (0.550) and No. 6 in opponent batting average (.153)
Trice, a 5-foot-10 junior 3rd baseman from Henderson, Tenn., batted .688 (11-for-16), tallied 15 RBIs and posted seven extra-base hits, including three home runs in four games last week. She became the first Lady Lion in history to hit for the cycle, doing so in the 9-7 loss to Williams Baptist (Ark.) on April 10. In that contest, she needed a homer in her final at-bat to complete the cycle and smashed a three-run blast in the 10th inning. She also tied a school-record with six RBIs in the game. Trice recorded multiple hits in each contest and also drew two walks to reach base safely in 13-of-18 plate appearances. Trice also earned two wins in the circle, including a shutout against Lyon (Ark.) on April 12.
In national statistics, Trice ranks No. 25 in doubles (13) and No. 43 in total bases per game (2.3).

Despite more than 100 offers, a Massachusetts funeral director is striking out in his search for a burial location for the body of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect who was killed in a gun battle with police.
On Monday, Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan said he'd received 120 burial offers from the United States and Canada for the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. But he said when he talked to officials in the cities and towns where the graves are located, nobody wanted the body there.
Tsarnaev's mother said she wants her son's remains returned to Russia. Stefan, however, said he doesn't think Russia will take Tsarnaev's body. He said he made calls to Russia, but that it was hard to get anyone to respond. He said he is working on other arrangements, but declined to be more specific.
The wrangling over Tsarnaev's body came as a friend of the surviving suspect in the bombings was released from federal custody Monday amid a swell of support from family and friends, but remained under strict house arrest.
And Monday evening victims of the bombing met with the administrator of the One Fund Boston charity, which has already taken in more than $28 million in donations to help those injured in the bombing.
Kenneth Feinberg, who will hold a second public meeting Tuesday morning, said the families of those who lost loved ones and individuals who suffered double amputations or permanent brain damage would receive the highest payments.
Those who received physical injuries and suffered the amputation of a single limb will be the next highest priority followed by those who were physically injured and hospitalized for one or more nights.
"Money is a pretty poor substitute for what you are going through," Feinberg told those who attended the meeting. "If you had a billion dollars you could not have enough money to deal with all of the problems that ought to be addressed by these attacks."
Feinberg said he deliberately did not include specific dollar amounts for specific types of injuries because there isn't a secure tally yet of the injuries and in part because the fund could still grow. But he did say the families of those killed or those who had limbs amputated could end up receiving as much as $1 million or more.
The question of where Tsarnaev will be buried dragged on for another day.
Stefan said when he made follow-up calls on all the grave offers, he got the same result each time.
"It's not only Massachusetts that doesn't want him," Stefan said. "Nobody wants him. And all these people who have donated graves, I've made some calls and said to somebody in the cities and towns where the graves were, 'Hey, we would like to bury the guy there that was part of the marathon bombing.'"
He said the response was often the same: "You're not gonna do that here."
He said he received an offer from a Texas truck driver who didn't want anybody to know that the body would be in the plot he'd be donating, but the outcome was the same.
Stefan said he plans to ask for a burial in the city of Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived.
Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy urged the Tsarnaev family not to make a request.
"The difficult and stressful efforts of the citizens of the City of Cambridge to return to a peaceful life would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and wide spread media presence at such an interment," Healy said in a statement on Sunday.
The founder of the organization that built Colorado's largest mosque, Sheikh Abu-Omar Almubarac, operating independently, is offering to bury Tsarnaev in the Denver area. He didn't say where he would bury the body. Stefan said he was not aware of that offer, but said he might pursue it.
If Russia refuses to accept the body, Cambridge may be forced to take it, said Wake Forest University professor Tanya Marsh, an expert in U.S. law on the disposal of human remains.
Massachusetts law requires every community to provide a suitable place to bury its residents, she said.
Gov. Deval Patrick said the question of what to do with the body is a "family issue" that should not be decided by the state or federal government. He said family members had "options" and he hoped they would make a decision soon.
Tsarnaev's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, of Montgomery Village, Md., and three of his friends met with Stefan on Sunday to wash and shroud Tsarnaev's body according to Muslim tradition.
Tsarni told reporters that he was arranging for Tsarnaev's burial because religion and tradition call for his nephew to be buried. He would like him buried in Massachusetts because he's lived in the state for the last decade, he said.
As the fate of the body remained unclear, Robel Phillipos, a friend of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was released on $100,000 bond while he awaits trial for allegedly lying to federal investigators probing the April 15 bombings.
Phillipos, 19, who was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with Tsarnaev, was charged last week with lying to investigators about visiting Tsarnaev's dorm room three days after the bombings. He faces up to eight years in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors initially asked that Phillipos be held while he awaits trial, arguing that he poses a serious flight risk.
But prosecutors and Phillipos' lawyers agreed in a joint motion filed Monday that Phillipos could be released under strict conditions, including home confinement, monitoring with an electronic bracelet and a $100,000 secured bond.
Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler agreed to the request during a hearing, saying he would be under "strict house arrest," and only allowed to leave his home to meet with his lawyer and for true emergencies.
"We are confident that in the end we will be able to clear his name," defense attorney Derege Demissie said.
Assistant U.S .Attorney John Capin said the government "stands by its allegations."
The Tsarnaev brothers are accused of carrying out the bombings using pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards. The attack killed three people and injured more than 260 others near the marathon's finish line.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured and remains in a prison hospital. He has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and faces a potential death sentence if convicted.
Feinberg said compensation for those who were injured but not hospitalized, or those who suffered mental trauma is still an open question, as is compensation for business owners who had to shut their doors for days during the investigation.
Feinberg said his goal is to get the money from the fund to victims as quickly as possible. He set a May 15 deadline to get final claim forms into the hands all those who are eligible. They will then have one month to file.
Feinberg said that after June 15, when all claims are submitted, he and his team will work out who gets how much from the fund over the following ten days.
He said he hopes to send out checks by July 1.
Liz Norden, whose two adult sons each lost a leg in the bombing, attended the meeting with Feinberg. One of her sons in still hospitalized and the other is in rehab.
Norden said she is focused on caring for her sons.
"This is new to me," she said after the meeting. "I don't know what questions I'm supposed to be asking or not asking."

Common Sense was published on January 10, 1776, in response to the uprising in the American colonies against the British, now known as the American Revolution. Within the first three months, 120,000 copies of this 48-page pamphlet were published, with 500,000 copies published in the first year. Paine kept none of the profits from the publication, but instead gave his earnings to George Washington's Continental Army. The pamphlet Common Sense influenced popular opinion towards the revolution more than any other work of the time. Paine wrote it with the common man in mind, using sermon-like language and biblical references that the colonists could understand and relate to. Because Common Sense was so widely read, it instigated a national debate about the war, independence, and government that had not previously existed.
While Paine's work was widely read, Common Sense did not necessarily influence the work of the Continental Congress and the founding fathers. For example, John Adams disagreed with Thomas Paine's radical ideas of republican government and wrote his own work, Thoughts on Government,in 1776 to provide a more conservative view. However, Paine's popularity influenced popular feeling. His writings were read by Benjamin Franklin, a friend since 1774, and George Washington. Washington even had Paine's The American Crisis read to his troops in order to boost morale. Therefore, Thomas Paine's philosophies and writings were an integral part of the American Revolution, but not the only part. He caused controversy and provoked discussion. While the true impact of Common Sense cannot be calculated, his work assisted in the formation of the American nation and has become the foundation for political theorists in the twentieth century.

Bravo!!! That is really brave. The majority of people suffer with some issue dealing with food. I know I do and I have made a big jump to change that. I just heard about this book and I am going to read it. As soon as you mentioned weight and Ned I knew what you were talking about. I was wondering who Ned had been for awhile.

You don't know me, but I found your blog through a friend's. I just wanted to thank you for speaking out on this tough subject. I'm also a 20-something single girl, and for years I struggled with an overwhelming anxiety about food, compounded by years of yo-yo dieting. Thanks for shedding some light on all those eating disorders that don't fit into the "anorexia" or "bulimia" box!

I'm across the country and probably in an entirely different world than you, but oh how this resonated with me. I tried to find your email; really, I did! I wish I could ask you questions, steal a bit of your confidence and understanding. I've suffered myself, originally differently, now the same as you. Sometimes I feel lost in all of this. Could we talk sometime?
- Thursday, January 15, 2009
I applaud you for your courage! It needs to be talked about, not swept under a rug like so many people do. I wish you luck.

So brave of you to admit this. ...and how telling that America is more about the $$$ than the health of it's people. So sad. I wish there was something implemented in everyone as children regarding healthy eating and relationship with food. By the time we're adults, it's almost too late. "diets" never work.
I like the name ned ...I'd want to beat him up ...what a turd. lol. You can do it!

Thank you so much for writing this and for putting a link to it on your latest post. I tried for the longest time to figure out who Ned was and just had to use my childhood context clues.
Thank you for being so courageous. I saw so much of myself in this. A friend of mine said to me recently, "What you just said about your eating sounds like bulimia, but without the purging." I thought maybe it was just me. I don't know what to say except thank you. I hope someday we can talk. You are lovely.

Hi, I came across your blog through Natalie Hill's and love your posts. I just read this one and wanted to say thanks for posting it. I'm in the exact situation as you are; I felt like you were writig exactly what I go through. My nutrionists tells me that I don't have an eating disorder per conventional standards, but that I have "disordered eating" and so I'm working on that. Glad to know there is someone else out there that understands!

Wow! As Oprah would say - 'a lightbulb moment'. I'm a big binger and I've tried to combat through controlled dieting - which works short term... and now, through exercise, exercise, exercise. I'd never really thought of it as a disorder, just a big appetite - you've made me see it's not just that. Often I eat so much that I'm in physical pain, but somehow I can still fit in another bite! Thanks for switching on my light!

Hi! Just found your bog through Hanako's and I have to commend you on broaching this subject. I work in a fashion company and it's amazing to see how many super thin girls I work with that regularly say "I'm naturally this thin". When we had our health fair, several of my friends didn;t even come up on the chart for being too underweight. I will be reading more. Thx.

I just found your blog and wanted to express my appreciation for what you've written. I've been struggling with my own "Ned" for a few years now. It's amazing how much "Ned" can not only effect my physical health, but my mental health, my very definition of who I am.
It is always helpful and gives me hope when I know that other strong people have their own "Ned" to battle.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hey, I just found your blog through a friend, and I am so glad that I did. When I first started reading, I knew I loved your writing but the more posts I read, the more I became inspired and highly aware of how much we have in common. I too struggle with binge eating and non-purging bulimia and was diagnosed about a year ago, after dealing with this disease for 10 years. Way too long. I've been in recovery for a year, and I've been contemplating writing a post about my time with Ed and my recovery journey on my blog, but I've been holding off. But this is really inspirational, and really giving me the guts to keep writing. I see you've written so many more posts than just this one on this topic, and that is really encouraging. So thank you so much for opening the door to this conversation, and for inspiring me to do the same with my readers.

Little Company of Mary Physicians Team Up to Perform a "Christmas Miracle"
Mallory Contreras arrived into this world on December 20, 2013 at 6:12 p.m. Her birth was anything but a routine delivery. When 37 year old Margaret Contreras arrived at Little Company of Mary Hospital in the morning hours of December 20th for a planned induction, she had no idea that the birth of her third child was going to be one she would always remember and be thankful for.
After ten long hours of being in active labor with no progress, Margaret's OB/GYN physician, Dr. Monica Christmas at Little Company of Mary, made the decision that a cesarean birth would be necessary. "As an OB/GYN physician you have to not only think about the well-being of the mother, but also the well-being of the little bundle of joy she is carrying," said Dr. Christmas. Shortly after, a healthy seven pound baby girl named Mallory was born into the Contreras family and Margaret's labor struggles began to melt away.
However, following the emergency C-Section, Dr. Monica Christmas identified some abnormal post-operation bleeding. It is then that Dr. Christmas decided to call in Dr. Hamid Nazeer, Interventional Radiologist at Little Company of Mary. An Interventional Radiologist is a board-certified physician who specializes in minimally invasive, targeted treatments using the least invasive techniques currently available in order to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes. At the time, Dr. Nazeer and his family were on their way to a Holiday function when he got the call from Dr. Christmas. Dr. Nazeer, along with his family on-board, made the drive to Little Company of Mary Hospital to attend to Margaret.
After arriving at the hospital and assessing the situation, Dr. Nazeer made the decision to use embolization, or the delivery of clotting agents directly to an area that is bleeding or to block blood flow to a problem area, such as an aneurysm or a fibroid tumor in the uterus. The usage of this temporary embolic agent was able to stop the bleeding and, consequentially, precluded the need for a hysterectomy. Margaret was grateful for this, giving her the potential opportunity to someday have a fourth child.
Both Nazeer and Christmas reassured Margaret throughout the procedure and stayed by her side in addition to following up with her post-surgery to ensure that she was doing well. "We were just doing our job," said Nazeer. "Everything went smoothly and I am thankful to God to have been able to help." Margaret ended her hospital stay just before Christmas and was able to spend her time over the holidays with her family, including the newest addition, baby Mallory. Today, Margaret is happy to be home with her three girls and husband, John. "I am very grateful for everything that Dr. Nazeer and Dr. Christmas did for me," said Contreras. "I never appreciated life more than I do now."
