Cousins back in Warriors' starting lineup

TORONTO (AP) — The Latest from Sunday's Game 2 of the NBA Finals (all times local):

8:10 p.m.

Game 2 has tipped off with a change to the Golden State lineup.

DeMarcus Cousins is in the starting lineup at center after coming off the bench in his return from a torn left quadriceps in Game 1.

The Warriors went with Jordan Bell as the starter in the opener, while Cousins played just eight minutes off the bench. Coach Steve Kerr wasn't sure how long Cousins could go in that game after he missed the last 14 games.

But Cousins is back among the first five after starting all 30 games he played in during the regular season.

The 44th President of the United States —and noted basketball fan— has arrived for Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Barack Obama walked through a back hallway of the Scotiabank Arena about a half-hour before tip-off of the second game in the title series between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr, who wore a T-shirt before the game with a message to encouraging voting, says he wasn't aware of Obama's attendance until shortly before he arrived. The coach says Obama's presence made him think of the Warriors' first time visiting the White House after their championship in 2015.

Kerr says, "that was quite a thrill to visit there and have the whole team there. It's a treat to experience that."

Global Health Issues

Global Health Issues        Info: Despite incredible improvements in health since 1950, there are still a number of challenges, which should have been easy to solve. Consider the following....     One billion people lack access to health care systems... 36 million deaths each year are caused by noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung diseases. This is almost two-thirds of the estimated 56 million deaths each year worldwide. (A quarter of these take place before the age of 60.) Cardiovascular diseases (C V Ds) are the number one group of conditions causing death globally. An estimated 17.5 million people died from C V Ds in 2005, representing 30% of all global deaths. Over 80% of C V D deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Over 7.5 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases, each year. In 2008, some 6.7 million people died of infectious diseases alone, far more than the

World Education Report

The World Education Information Report’s focus on education as a basic human right is a fitting choice for the International Year for the Culture of Peace. Education is one of the principal means to build the‘defenses of peace’ in the minds of men and women everywhere – the mission assumed by UNESCO when the Organ- ization was created more than half a century ago. The twentieth century saw human rights accepted worldwide as a guiding principle. Our ambition for the new century must be to see human rights fully implemented in practice.       This is therefore a good moment for the inter- national community to reflect on its understand- ing of, and commitment to, the right to edu- cation. Education is both a human right and a vital means of promoting peace and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms gener- ally. If its potential to contribute towards build- ing a more peaceful world is to be realized, edu- cation must be made universally available an equally accessible to all

Tips for Health Care and Guide

Professionals. Guidance notes on the Muslim fast during Ramadan The Muslim fast during the month of Ramadan provides  an opportunity for health professionals to promote  health improvement among Muslims by offering lifestyle  advice on topics such as diet and smoking cessation.        It is important to recognize  that the Muslim community,  like any other, is diverse. This results in differences of  perception and practice among Muslim patients. The  start of Ramadan advances 11 days every year as it is  based on a lunar calendar and will sometimes fall in the  summer months, resulting in a more onerous fast than  when it is in the winter months. In 2007 Ramadan starts  in mid-September.      Fasting during Ramadan is intended as a discipline and  requires abstinence from anything taken orally during  the hours of daylight, each consecutive day for a month.  This includes water and smoking. Bleeding will also  preclude the fast for that day. Fasti
