Rick Ross had two seizures in a single day, sending him to the hospital three years ago.

Health didn't concern the 300-pound rapper then, but he's shed nearly 100 pounds in the last seven months by eating healthier foods and embracing a high-intensity workout plan.

Ross, 37, says he continues to work long hours creating music, including his seventh album, Hood Billionaire, released Monday. It's the second album Ross has put out this year after the March release of Mastermind, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

But in the middle of making music and running his Maybach Music Group record label, Ross has made his health a main priority.

And now, he believes if he can drop pounds, you can, too. In an interview with The Associated Press, the Grammy-nominated rap star offered tips on how to lose weight.

Ross has given up a few things since changing his lifestyle.

First, the rapper stopped drinking soda, unless it's diet. He also said it's better to eat heavier meals earlier in the day. As a result, he said he's able to burn calories faster.

"I used to eat big meals at 2 a.m. and base it on my schedule," he said. "But I don't do that no more."

Ross said you should drink water throughout the day. He also said to treat yourself when you work hard.

HOPKINTON About 200 people gathered to shed a light on bullying and to demonstrate they care about their community.

On Monday, the third annual Shed a Light on Bullying event started at the Hopkinton Middle and High Schools. Marchers proceeded to the Maple Street School where more people joined, and then headed to the Jane Lewellen Bandstand in Riverway Park in Contoocook.

A ceremony at the bandstand included senior Simeon Marklin, who talked about bullying and how the Hopkinton community comes together. Nate Platt read his award-winning sixth-grade essay about the effects of cyberbullying.

The Maple Street School Performing Arts Club sang James Taylors Youve Got a Friend.

It was nice to see so many people coming together to care about others, said School Superintendent Steven Chamberlin.

Fourth-grader Hannah Peece said, I liked how as a community we were sharing the light and spreading the light and spreading the word.

Michelle Bickford, co-leader of the Performing Arts Club, said the message for all was ... not (to) be a bystander when you see someone having difficulties with another person, and looking out for each other and knowing that we have each other... .

Many of the students gained awareness and inspiration.

Maddy Sollansbee, a fifth-grader, said, I learned bullying is something that can be defeated by tons of people speaking and standing up for (those) who are being bullied.

I think tonight taught me that bullying is more than just a punch in the face, said fifth-grader Anna Locke. There is always a way you can stop it.

BRENTWOOD (KDKA) A report has been made public about why the borough of Brentwood was at odds with its former police chief.

The borough first suspended him, but now hes decided to retire.

The report on the activities of former chief Robert Butelli was conducted by an outside law firm. It sheds light on the controversy thats been brewing in Brentwood for months.

Your intentions to move Chief Butelli from his position as chief of police is an embarrassment to the people of Brentwood Borough, resident Ken Lockhart told council members earlier his year.

Back in September, a heated council meeting drew lines in the sand about Butellis future when he was suspended.

But the report cites examples like poor morale due to the chiefs disengagement and treatment of the staff.

But the report goes much further:

As part of his settlement agreement, Butelli agreed to retire as of Nov. 30.

He also agreed to a $199,000 settlement payment.

Underwater robot sheds new light on Antarctic sea ice - Video

The first detailed, high-resolution 3-D maps of Antarctic sea ice have been developed using an underwater robot. Scientists from the UK, USA and Australia say the new technology provides accurate ice thickness measurements from areas that were previously too difficult to access.

The results, published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience (Monday 24 November 2014), step up the pace of research in the polar regions aimed at understanding the dramatic sea ice changes in the context of climate change.

Scientists use a range of technologies and techniques to measure sea ice thickness. Satellite observations can measure large-scale thickness from space, but interpreting the data accurately can be difficult due to snow cover on the ice. Measurements made on the sea ice by drilling holes, together with visual observations from ships are critical for building a more complete picture, but difficulties in getting access to thicker areas of sea ice leaves gaps in the data. Now, with the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) known as SeaBED, scientists have an invaluable new tool to fill this gap.

While most oceanographic survey instruments look down at the seafloor, SeaBED was fitted with an upward-looking sonar in order to measure and map the underside of sea ice floes. The AUV operated at a depth of 20 to 30 meters and was driven in a lawnmower pattern. These lines of data were merged to form high-resolution 3D bathymetric surveys of the underside of the ice.

The yellow SeaBED robot, which is approximately two meters long and weighs nearly 200 kilograms, has a twin-hull design that gives the robot enhanced stability for low-speed photographic surveys.

"Putting an AUV together to map the underside of sea ice is challenging from a software, navigation and acoustic communications standpoint," says Hanumant Singh, an engineering scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) whose lab designed, built and operated the AUV.

"SeaBED's maneuverability and stability made it ideal for this application where we were doing detailed floe-scale mapping and deploying, as well as recovering in close-packed ice conditions. It would have been tough to do many of the missions we did, especially under the conditions we encountered, with some of the larger vehicles."

Co-author Dr Guy Williams from Institute of Antarctic and Marine Science adds:

"The full 3-D topography of the underside of the ice provides a richness of new information about the structure of sea ice and the processes that created it. This is key to advancing our models particularly in showing the differences between Arctic and Antarctic sea ice."

The data from SeaBED, combined with airborne measurements of sea-ice surface elevation, ice coring surveys, and satellite observations, vastly improves scientists' estimates of ice thickness and total sea ice volume.
