"Here we have tangible evidence that heart failure in the young is a real dilemma," says Dr. Clyde Yancy, president-elect of the American Heart Association...
...Westerners who elect to stay need to lower their expectations. Ex-hedge fund manager Rudajev is adjusting to a humbler lifestyle. After his fund closed, he accepted a sales position at a Singapore-based stock brokerage for a modest salary. "We're not eating out as much," he says. "We're cutting back on holidays."

Just for good measure, he also threatened to sue the party if they did indeed recruit a candidate to run against Bunning...
...raised for the 2010 race, even Bunning's supporters are concerned, according to Jennings. Experts say Bunning could still raise enough money; since McConnell's famed money machine was working overtime for his own campaign, and the party also just endured a bruising (and losing) 2007 campaign to re-elect former Gov.
