"I do not believe it is centrally directed or accepted," says a Western military official in Pakistan who was not authorized to speak on the record, "but I do believe there are individuals at the lower field levels who are maintaining ties with extremists, Taliban and maybe even al-Qaeda...

Assessing nearly 39,000 middle-aged women over a period of 11 years, researchers determined that the odds for developing heart disease were 54% higher in overweight active women and 87% higher in obese active women compared with normal-weight active women. Women who were normal weight but inactive faced only...
