STORY HIGHLIGHTS
New Delhi (CNN) -- India's famed yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, ended his hunger strike Tuesday, a day after he was briefly detained at a New Delhi stadium for protesting alleged government corruption.
Ramdev's anti-corruption fast started on August 9 and ended Tuesday at the same stadium where he had been detained. The end to the fast was televised as many watched the bearded yoga teacher sip what appeared to be lemon juice.
Ramdev, whose yoga television programs have been watched by millions, is seeking repatriation of Indian money he says is stashed in foreign banks. He has also criticized the ruling Congress party, blaming it for chronic graft.
On Monday, police briefly detained Ramdev after he tried to lead an anti-corruption march toward the national parliament building, police said.
He was transported to the stadium, where he was detained for hours. Ramdev and his supporters stayed overnight at the venue despite being released.
He ended his protest fast and left the stadium with his supporters Tuesday after police told him to leave because of security concerns ahead of India's Independence Day on Wednesday.

High schools: City Section football coaches are in this for life
Posted: at 7:18 pm
Yohance Salimu, an All-City defensive lineman at Crenshaw High, had run out of options.
His family had lost its apartment and was living at a homeless shelter far from school. He was taking trains and buses and staying with friends. There was no place to put his clothes, so they were starting to smell.
Crenshaw football Coach Robert Garrett decided it was time to intervene. He offered Salimu six lockers at school.
The catch: Salimu had to memorize six locker combinations. "I'm really good with numbers," he said.
Salimu stored his dirty clothes in two of the lockers. Four others contained his clean clothes. And despite all his other duties involving coaching and teaching, Garrett would take home a bag full of Salimu's dirty clothes and do the player's laundry.
When graduation day came in June 2011, Salimu had a 3.8 grade-point average and was accepted to the Air Force Academy.
"I'm thankful for my teachers pushing me above and beyond, and one of them was Coach Garrett," he said.
At a time of budget cuts, furlough days, student defections to private schools and growing unease about what the future might bring, there are coaches in the sprawling Los Angeles Unified School District such as Garrett who refuse to be deterred.
"You never know who you're getting through to," said another of them, Dorsey football Coach Paul Knox. "You never know who you're going to touch."
Garrett, Knox and Mike Walsh of San Pedro have spent 22 years or longer teaching and coaching football at the same school, making them the longest-tenured football coaches in LAUSD.

Workshop helps women achieve goals
Posted: at 7:18 pm
KUSA -Ever wonder if you areachieving your greatest potential in life? A workshop next month in Vail hopes to help women answer that question.
The Second Annual Women's Empowerment Workshop, Sept 13 to 16 at the Vail Racquet Club Mountain Resort will take women on journeys throughexplorations in nature, rafting, rock climbing, hiking, groundwork with horses, seminars and life coaching.
Susie Kincade, co-founder of the workshop was a guest with Susie Wargin for the latest Sidebar. She talked about how the workshop is designed to take women outward into nature, not to conquer it, but to learn from it. Activities are designed for all ages and abilities, and provide skills and tools that women can take directly into their life.
On the river expedition women will learn to understand currents, of both water and life, and apply the metaphors and navigation skills learned on the river to situations in their life. Journeying to the soul of nature through hiking, and learning from horses as they mirror the authentic self are other activity options in this diverse, extraordinary workshop. Yoga, journaling time and Envision Your Life seminars round out the four days.
"We know and understand the magic that can happen when venturing out into the natural world. We have lived it our entire lives here in the Colorado mountains," said Kincade. "This is our way of offering it to others so that they can experience in a few days what we've learned over a lifetime, and be able to take practical skills into their life, no matter where they live. People can always use nature as a touchstone."

The Birth and Life of Chief Osceola and Renegade, Florida State's Mascots
Posted: at 7:18 pm
When you think of Florida State University, one of the enduring symbols is the duo of Renegade and Chief Osceola.
For years, those two have been linked with the athletic program and the students of Florida State University.
1. Choice of the Name Seminoles
In 1947, the student body chose the nickname "Seminoles" for its athletic programs. It would be the first time in over 40 years a football team representing Florida State would play a game.
2. The First Thought of a Mascot
In 1962, sophomore Bill Durham imagined a mascot that would consist of an Indian chief riding a horse into battle. He pitched his idea to the Homecoming Committee and was rejected. Durham graduated from Florida State in 1965.
3. Bobby Bowden Arrives In Tallahassee
One of the most important days in the history of Florida State University occurred in 1976, when Bobby Bowden starting coaching the Seminoles football team. Bowden was taking over a financially unsuccessful program with an apathetic fan base.
4. Coach Bowden Feared That No One Would Listen to Him
However, coach Bowden loved the idea of putting the idea of Bill Durham to life. In 1977, Bowden tasked Durham with doing what he could to make his dream come to life.

4 Ways to Stop Missing Out on Life for Work
Posted: at 7:18 pm
Do you feel forced to choose between work and a satisfying personal life? In my career of coaching entrepreneurs, I've discovered these strategies to bridge the gap.

About a month ago, I was approached by a young Chicago woman who has devoted her life to helping others--sometimes at the expense of her own happiness. Finally she has realized that it's her turn to ask for support and to find greater happiness in life. But the challenge would be far greater than she had anticipated.
Last week she learned that she has Stage 2 breast cancer. She is a health-conscious athlete who makes her own organic peanut butter, bread, and juices. Cancer was the last thing she or anyone who knows her would have expected."I haven't lived my life big enough," she said. "I'm not ready to die."
Immediately after learning this news, I spoke to a healthy, 58-year-old client who has decided against taking a few days off to celebrate his mother's 91st birthday with the rest of his family.
"Things are hectic at work," he said. "I'll make it up to her another time." Another time?
These experiences prompted me to think back on the entrepreneurs I have worked with over the years. How many times have I heard someone say he or she hasn't been on a vacation for years? Or that the kids were disappointed that they couldn't go to the zoo as planned? How many times has one parent needed to take the kids camping without the other because something came up at work? And how often has the overwhelmed entrepreneur taken just one more day to wrap things up before getting on a plane to be with a dying relative, sometimes arriving too late? Many, many times, I assure you. And the guilt and regret only add to the burden, making life much more difficult.
Business owners make many sacrifices; it goes with the territory. But many entrepreneurs fall into a pattern of sacrifice that isn't necessary. As the demands of business take over their lives, fear sets in. Fear of losing control, of the unknown, fear of change. And being forced to choose between personal sacrifice and facing fear pushes us out of our comfort zone.
The fear place is simply a more familiar territory, so it feels easier to stay with the fear and sacrifice a personal opportunity once again.
