Focus on the now
Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now," a "modern gospel" on how to liberate yourself from memories of the past and worries about the future, leapt onto the bestseller lists in late 2002 after Oprah Winfrey named it one her favorite holiday gifts.

Miami to host awards
The Latin Grammys are returning to a city that really understands salsa.
The ceremonies will be broadcast on CBS from the American Airlines Arena in Miami on Sept. 3. Miami, New York and Los Angeles each have won the right to host the itinerant show in recent years.
Planners took the show to Los Angeles in 2000 because of a now-overturned Miami ordinance that prohibited the county from doing business with anyone having dealings with Cuba. The show was awarded to Miami in 2001, but moved to Los Angeles again when anti-Castro protesters threatened to picket the event if Cuban agents attended. The 2002 show also was held in Los Angeles.
Miami Mayor Manny Diaz said increased police presence will allow the show to go on despite any protests.
