Dr Castelli and Breslow describe seven healthy habits including no smoking, regular activity, moderate or no alcohol, seven to eight hours sleep, proper weight, breakfast, and no snacking. Followed by elders, these rules potentially add years and quality to life, though not all doctors agree.

Taneytown considers action over dogs and cats at trailer park
About 10 residents near the Cornell Trailer Park in Taneytown welcomed steps by the town council to curb loose dogs and cats. Police will trap roaming animals and check licenses while a dog ordinance amendment to include cats is prepared. If pets remain at large they may be taken to the pound and kept 30 days before being put down. Environmental concerns include an open dumpster and weed-covered areas.
