...seem like much, but the truth is, small changes can make a big difference in your health. Studies show that switching from butter to soft margarine reduces your bad cholesterol - and by extension your risk of getting heart disease - 10%. So come up with a simple step, like "Eat seven colors of fruits and vegetables tomorrow," and program it into your electronic calendar as a recurring reminder. This new goal just became part of your job description. Your bonus at the end of the year? A longer, healthier life. -With reporting by Danielle Dellorto
Working the Back Channels At first, the "bigger carrots, bigger sticks" approach seemed to show promise. When, after eight years away, Ross returned to the State Department in early February, he quickly assembled a seven-person team and began working through a long list of moves.

It's in the immigration and gender cases that Sotomayor shows clearer signs of liberal leanings: out of 28 majority opinions in immigration cases, Sotomayor decided in favor of the immigrant in 17, or 61%. And in four gender cases, involving sex discrimination and sexual harassment, she decided in favor of the plaintiff...
...Peshawar has now suffered seven attacks in the past month. Bordering the wild tribal areas along the Afghan border, a number of militant groups have steadily built a presence around the city. On the edge of the city, vehicles laden with supplies destined for US and NATO troops, and the bridge they rumble across, have been attacked. Pilfered contents are open sale at Sitara Market, on the border with the Khyber tribal agency. A spate of kidnappings and murders have taken place in well-heeled neighborhoods. And even in the Lady Reading Hospital, where Zubair Khan and others injured were...
