Smart Choices: A worthy 'coach' for heart health
Joe Piscatella spent the first half of his life eating whatever he liked. He's spending the second half eating healthily. That's why he's still alive today. He might be the person to help you save your own life. As his Web site attests, the best-selling author of heart-healthy books is "no ordinary Joe." Piscatella was at North Central Baptist Hospital in San Antonio recently where he delivered lectures on healthy eating and lifestyle to medical professionals and the public. "One of the physicians had seen him speak and was impressed," said Karen May, regional director of public relations for the Baptist Health System. "Baptist is upgrading and expanding its cardiac program, and this was an excellent way to help people associate Baptist with good heart care, preventative treatment and follow-up rehabilitation." Piscatella has been preaching heart-healthy eating for decades and exploring the link between stress and how we use food in response.

Where can you smoke?
It is hard for me to believe that you had gone into 2 restaurants and there were people smoking in it, and this is in less than a few weeks of the smoking ban. In my years of going into restaurants or anywhere that was non smoking even before the ban, I have never EVER seen a smoker disrespect an establishment and just light up. And for it to happen to you twice in a 2 week span, again, I find that hard to believe. Which restaurants were these anyway? Or is this just a way for you to justify your dine and ditch plot? " .
Gay Christian group criticises new equality commissioner
A gay rights group has compiled a dossier criticising the record of one of the UK's newly appointed equality commissioners, Joel Edwards. The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM) said Edwards had a history of "agitating against the full inclusion of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community under equality law". The group was today printing a 10-page document on the appointment of Edwards, leader of the Evangelical Alliance, to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). .
Scapegoating Home-Schoolers
Obama confronts a history of often uneasy and competitive relations between blacks and Hispanics, particularly as they have jockeyed for influence in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. "Many Latinos are not ready for a person of color," Natasha Carrillo, 20, of East Los Angeles, said. "I don't think many Latinos will vote for Obama. There's always been tension in the black and Latino communities. There's still that strong ethnic division. I helped organize citizenship drives, and those who I've talked to support [Mrs.] Clinton." Is there any way the Democrats bridge the fissures opened by identity politics? A reader calls our attention to an old CNSNews.com story from October 2001, which seems oddly relevant today: Former President Bill Clinton was honored as the nation's first black president Saturday at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Annual Awards Dinner on in Washington, DC.
