Description: Feb. 6, 2006 -- Just more than half of men and 40% of women at age 50 in the U.S. will develop cardiovascular disease during their lifetime. But researchers say the danger is much greater for people who have multiple risk factors for heart disease by age 50. The first-ever comprehensive lifetime risk assessment for cardiovascular disease highlights the importance of reducing risk early in life to prevent heart and vascular disease later on. Cardiovascular disease events included heart attack, angina, coronary heart disease, stroke, and claudication (peripheral arterial disease). Reducing risk means maintaining a healthy weight, getting plenty of exercise, keeping cholesterol levels and blood pressure under control, and not smoking, says Donald M. Lloyd-Jones, MD, ScM, part of the research team that developed the lifetime risk assessment. "Once risk factors develop it is hard to

Description: JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel is pulling the plug on American evangelist Pat Robertson.

Israel's anger could jeopardize a 50 million-dollar Christian Heritage Center planned in Israel by an evangelist group headed by Robertson. Israel had planned to provide the land for free. The spokesman says Israel will do business with other evangelical leaders regarded as friends, but no longer with Robertson.

Description: Sharon's condition still unknown 1/7/2006 10:54 AM By: The Associated Press Doctors will know the extent of the damage Ariel Sharon has suffered on Sunday. That's when they plan to slowly take the Israeli Prime Minister off the drugs that are keeping him in a medically-induced coma. Sharon had another brain scan Saturday morning. Doctors said the procedure went as planned. The 77-year-old has had two surgeries since Wednesday, after suffering a massive stroke. It was the leader's second stroke in just three weeks. Doctors said the surgery stopped bleeding and relieved swelling in Sharon's skull, but they said there is always some brain damage after cerebral hemorrhages.
