ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Consumer advocate Clark Howard revealed to listeners of his radio show on Wednesday that he has prostate cancer.

Radio show host Clark Howard says doctors diagnosed him with prostate cancer in its early stages.

Howard is one of the best-known consumer experts in the country. He has a nationally syndicated radio show and a new weekend show on CNN sister network HLN. He also has written several books on consumer issues, including two that made The New York Times best-sellers list.

"I just wanted to give it to you right form the horse's mouth, what's going on with me," Howard, 53, told listeners Wednesday during this radio show.

The cancer was detected recently in its early stages, he said. His doctors had monitored his health for about 2Â½ years after a routine test came came back with unusual results. The test was a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test to measure antigen, substances that stimulate an immune response in the body.

If PSA levels are up, the chances of prostate cancer rise, and Howard's levels were such that his doctor gave him PSA tests every 90 days to monitor antigen levels.

He also had biopsies to test for cancer. The fourth and most recent biopsy found a "very, very small isolated pocket of cancer," Howard said.

"Prostate cancer caught early is not a walk in the park, but is not really that big a deal," Howard said. "I just wanted to clear the air because rumors take on a life of their own."

According to the American Cancer Society, one in six men will get prostate cancer in their lifetimes, and one in 35 will die of the disease.

Although its numbers are not yet complete for 2008, the organization estimated that during that year, there were about 186,320 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed in the United States and about 28,660 men died from the disease.

Among famous men who have been treated for prostate cancer are former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and actor Robert De Niro.

There are various options for treating prostate cancer, all with different approaches. The American Cancer Society recommends considering things such as age, other serious health problems, stage of the cancer and side effects of treatment when selecting a method of treatment.

Howard said his main point in talking about his diagnosis was to increase awareness among men.

"Guys put themselves in danger by not going to the doctor," he said.

He spoke to female listeners as well as the men.

"Be a nag. Get your guy in to see the doctor, especially if you're 40 and up," he said.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (CNN) -- Efforts by government troops to secure control of a main highway that links mainland Sri Lanka to the northern Jaffna peninsula came a step closer Thursday when they re-captured Pallai, a palm-fringed village under rebel control.

Sri Lankan army troops have had there most decisive victories against the Tamil Tigers in recent weeks.

The village is located past Elephant Pass, described as a gateway to the Jaffna peninsula, which the army re-captured on Wednesday.

Whilst a column of troops are moving northwards from this town, another column that advanced from the outer fringes of the government-controlled peninsula advanced southwards to recapture Pallai.

"When the two columns meet we would have captured the entire A-9 highway," a senior army source told CNN. He spoke on grounds of anonymity since he is not authorized to talk to media.

The A-9 highway links the hill city Kandy with Jaffna. The only stretch that remains to be recaptured is the area between Elephant Pass and Jaffna.

Earlier this month, President Mahinda Rajapaksa urged the Tamil Tigers to lay down their arms and end a quarter-century of civil war. Before he made that request government troops retook the separatists' former capital, Kilinochchi.

Rajapaksa called the recapture of Kilinochchi "a victory against separatism."

"The time is not far off when people of the north can breathe freedom again," Rajapaksa said.

He invited the Tigers -- who have fought for an independent homeland for Sri Lanka's ethnic Tamil minority since 1983 -- to surrender as government troops closed in on their last remaining strongholds.

The civil war has left more than 65,000 people dead. The U.S. State Department has designated the Tamil Tigers a terrorist organization.

(CNN) -- The surgeon who performed heart surgery Wednesday on former first lady Barbara Bush said Thursday that she is recovering well from the 2 1/2-hour surgery in which her aortic valve was replaced with a pig valve.

Former first lady Barbara Bush had heart surgery Wednesday in Houston, Texas.

"From our perspective, this was a very routine procedure, and we expect her to make an excellent recovery," Dr. Gerald Lawrie told reporters at Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center in Houston.

Bush had experienced "severe narrowing of the main valve that lets the blood come out of the heart into the circulation," Lawrie said.

"This valve, instead of being a soft, flexible structure that opens and closes, breaks down," he said, adding that calcium deposits cause it to stiffen, which can result in fluid in the lungs and progressive deterioration.

He said an echocardiogram showed her condition was "extremely severe."

Typical symptoms of problems with an aortic valve include shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness and swelling, he said.

Though his patient is 83, "she's a very fit lady," which helped make the operation a "relatively straightforward" procedure," he said.

Diagnosed with the condition less than a week before the surgery, Bush entered the operating room at 7 a.m. and, after an hour of preparation during which lines were attached to her and anesthesia was administered, the main work began, Lawrie said.

In all, she was on a heart-lung machine for 55 minutes; the implantation of the valve took 45 minutes, he said. She required no blood transfusion.

Bush was back in the intensive care unit by 10:45 a.m., where she awoke "quicker than most" patients of her age, he said.

He described her as "very lucid."

"She recognized all of us immediately and actually started tearing us up with some humorous comments just as soon as we took that tube out."

He predicted she would remain in the ICU until Friday or Saturday, and then be transferred to a standard hospital floor for another five to seven days. But already, he said, she is "walking around the room a little bit."

Bush's husband of 64 years, former President George H. W. Bush, visited her shortly after the operation.

"I've been a nervous wreck about it," said the former president, who said he had received telephone calls of support from President Obama and all the other surviving former presidents.

"I think there is a lot of interest because of who she is," he said, his voice cracking.

"She looks well. I just came from her room and she's doing well. I keep saying, 'You look great.' [She says] 'Don't tell me that.' But you know, she does ... she looks well to me -- and beautiful."

Bush added, "She's in command. She's in control of our whole family."

Asked to describe what occurred between the two when he saw her, he said, "I don't remember any words. I'm not the anecdotal one in the family. It was just a reunion of two people who love each other."

Afterward, the former president turned to a hospital administrator and said, "I'm sorry I get emotional, but I can't help it."

The Bush family matriarch is the mother of former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

New York (CNN) -- Protesters upset about corporate greed rallied in New York's Times Square Saturday night, marking the 29th day of a movement that is tapping into popular frustrations about income disparities and an ailing U.S. economy.

People hoisted signs in the iconic square and chanted. At one point, police began clearing a part of the street when a van pulled up and officers began making arrests. Police said they had given the crowd several warnings to disperse.

Forty-two people were arrested in Times Square, bringing the total number of protesters arrested in New York City on Saturday to 70, according to Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne.

Two police officers were injured in the Times Square confrontation and sent to a hospital for treatment, he said.

Other people were arrested during the day for pulling down barriers and five were arrested for wearing masks, Browne said.

As police cleared the street, protesters chanted, "We are peaceful protesters" and "The whole world is watching."

The demonstration in Times Square was one of several that took place in the United States and around the world on Saturday.

Protesters took to the streets again in Lower Manhattan earlier in the day. The group waved flags and banged drums, while keeping up an online presence that has helped spawn similar actions elsewhere.

Others joined the demonstrations, yelling slogans of discontent over Wall Street influence, Beltway politics and their own seeming lack of opportunity amid U.S. unemployment levels that continue to hover above 9%.

"Banks got bailed out, we got sold out," chanted protesters as they meandered east of the city's Zuccotti Park, considered a home base for the Manhattan protesters.

Columns of police on patrol and atop scooters monitored the march, but as dusk fell, it appeared largely peaceful.

Earlier, an "Occupy Wall Street" spokesman said police made several arrests outside the LaGuardia Place Citibank in Lower Manhattan, after several protesters tried to enter the bank to withdraw cash and close their accounts. Police, meanwhile, said they made 24 arrests after protesters refused to comply with a bank manager's request for them to leave.

On Friday, scores were detained during scuffles with authorities during similar protests in several American cities, including Denver, Seattle, San Diego and Washington.

Reports of violence, however, were rare.

In Los Angeles, protesters and police alike reported good relations Saturday -- and in recent days.

Amber Barrero, 22, a student, said she has been participating in the Occupy Los Angeles movement since Day One, or October 1.

Police have been quite friendly, Barrerro said.

"When we're occupying, they donate bread, snacks and water," said Barrerro, who attended Saturday's rally in Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles.

Added Mark Simon, 63, an unemployed bookstore employee: "So far, they've been very well behaved. The police are still the police, and they are part of the 99%," referring to the vast majority of Americans enduring a troubled economy.

As demonstrators walked the near mile from City Hall to Pershing Square -- and then back -- police were peppered on the periphery, and there were many moments when none was in sight.

John Sherman, assistant commanding officer of the Los Angeles Police Department, said the force established a working relationship with the protesters, and "they approached us in the very beginning," he said.

Added one officer: "We're continuing to have a good relationship with Occupy L.A. If we get too close, they may feel threatened. They're cooperating with us, so we're cooperating with them."

Among the more distinctive figures at the Pershing Square rally was Rev. Danny Fisher, a minister at a Buddhist temple in Rosemead, who wore his full vestment. "Religious leaders often speak very idealistically, but I think it's important to be available and let people know we hear them and we know they're upset," he said.

He wore his vestment so "people know they can approach us and see that religious figures are here," he added.

In Lower Manhattan Saturday, union groups such as the United Auto Workers also joined the loosely defined movement.

"I know why I'm here," said New Jersey resident Tony Buontempo. "I am surrounded by people that are losing their jobs. The government, the establishment, doesn't get it. They've literally abandoned us."

Melissa Rice, a college-age protester, said she was marching "for all the young people who... can't afford college, and all the elderly who can't afford to take care of themselves."

Protester Jonathan Signey claims the monthlong protests are "rooted in targeting those financial institutions that tanked our economy in 2008, made a profit out of it, and have not been held accountable by anybody."

Signey argued that "corporate power has come to dominate politics" and blamed institutions such as the investment firm Goldman Sachs for "selling these packages of derivatives, that they knew were junk, to everybody, and at the same time betting against them."

Goldman and other firms underwent intense scrutiny in April this year after a U.S. Senate report found that it had misled clients and later Congress about short-selling securities linked to the housing market just prior to the 2008 financial crisis.

The investment house has said the report exaggerated the bets, and -- along with other firms -- has been subject to high job losses in the wake of the crisis.

Earlier this week, the New York state comptroller announced that Wall Street was projected to lose 10,000 jobs by the end of next year, totaling 32,000 from January 2008 to the end of 2012.

Demonstrators, meanwhile, continued to congregate at the privately owned Zuccotti Park, serving food and holding signs in protest of corporate greed and a long list of other, often ambiguously defined, concerns.

"Debt is slavery," one sign read. "Need over greed," read another.

On Friday, the demonstrations seemed to pick up steam around the country, then began spreading to city streets in Europe, Asia and Australia.

Firefighters battled a blaze at an Interior Ministry building near Porta San Giovanni in Rome on Saturday, the main gathering site of Italian protesters taking part in the Occupy movement.

In Germany, France and the United Kingdom, protesters marched, listened to speeches and displayed banners reading anti-corporate slogans, including the now ubiquitous "we are the 99%," "Banks are cancer," and "tax the rich 1%.'"

Europeans turned out amid debt troubles and austerity plans in Greece, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Germany, that analysts say have contributed to volatility in U.S. markets.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Jeremy Piven is the kind of guy who can make you laugh just by lifting an eyebrow.

Jeremy Piven stars as a used car salesman in "The Goods." He says "Entourage" would make a great film.

Of course, the popular actor can do much more than that to captivate audiences.

From drama to comedy, Piven has starred in more than 40 films on the big screen and has won critical acclaim for his role as super agent Ari Gold on HBO's "Entourage." (HBO, like CNN, is owned by Time Warner.)

Piven stopped by the CNN.com newsroom to talk with CNN's Nicole Lapin about his new film, "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard," in which he plays a used car salesman.

The following is an edited version of the interview:

CNN: [The movie] was hysterical, and my producer and I were sitting next to each other and we were trying to figure out -- is this like lowbrow, but it's smart, so it's medium-brow? Highbrow comedy?

Jeremy Piven: It's a hybrid-brow, or a unibrow. It's from the people who brought you "Talladega Nights" and "Step Brothers" and "Anchorman," so from the kings of guys who make really smart, low-brow comedies, and I'm just insanely honored to be a part of it.

It's like a dream because my fear was that by the time Will [Ferrell] hit the screen that, worst-case scenario, the movie wouldn't be funny enough. So that when Will jumps out of the plane, he takes us to a whole other level -- it's like, "Oh my God, Will Ferrell is so brilliant." But the reality is, the movie was so funny up until that moment that it was really, it was kind of organic, and it sustained it and it was really fantastic.  Watch why part of Piven's interview had to be bleeped out Â»

James Brolin would go home to his wife, Barbra Streisand, at night, and I would say, "James, is she OK with all this?" Because he has one of the most twisted roles you've ever seen, as you know -- and I don't want to give it away. He was like, "Well, the wife is on the fence about this whole thing," and she came to a screening and I swear to God, Babs laughed the loudest.

CNN: I think that's a tease in itself. That would probably get people to see it.

Piven: Yes, I think you're right. The movie is OK'd by Barbra Streisand; she vetted the whole thing.

If you would have told me, I would be doing a lead in a movie, and Will Ferrell would have a smaller role in it, I never would have believed you, but I'm here to tell you anything is possible.

CNN: Anything is possible, even in some 40 some movies in your career, but this is the first lead in a while, I mean did it take you a while to get into the used car salesman character?

Piven: There's a great documentary called "Slasher" about car salesmen that I took a look at, and I went to a bunch of lots, and I've also been sold a lot of cars, and I'm what's known as a sucker.

As soon as they see me coming in, they know they're going to take my money. So I kind of took that, and I reversed it and I'm no longer a sucker.

CNN: Are you going to stick with "Entourage"?

Piven: Well, I think "Entourage" ... this season is the sixth season, and it's I think the most interesting of all of them, and I kind of have the best arc this year.

The backstage life of Hollywood is such fertile stuff for our show that I think we could continue on for as long as it stays fresh.

CNN: What about a movie?

Piven: I think a movie would be really, really fun of "Entourage." I'd love to open it up. I have a bunch of ideas, all that will be turned down, but I have some great ideas.

(CNN) -- Former rugby superstar Jonah Lomu has revealed that he is poised to make a shock playing comeback at the age of 34 with French third-division club Marseille Vitrolles.

Jonah Lomu pictured in action for New Zealand's All Blacks during the 1999 World Cup in France.

The giant New Zealander, who became a global name after an electrifying series of performances on the wing for the All Blacks at the 1995 World Cup, retired in 2007 after a succession of injuries hampered his attempt to return following a kidney transplant.

He played 63 internationals, the last of them in 2002, but was never able to regain his previous dominance even after regaining full health.

"Marseille Vitrolles is on the point of finalizing the transfer of the greatest legend in world rugby," said statement on the club's Web site.

Lomu, who is featuring in a new worldwide advertising campaign for sportswear manufacturer adidas called "Nothing Is Impossible", was also quoted as confirming his desire to return to the playing field.

"I took a sabbatical year to be at my pregnant partner's side and to fully enjoy this important moment in any man's life," he said on the Web site.

"Everyone thought I had ended my playing career, but that was wrong. I still feel the desire to play and it will be me alone who decides when to call it a day.

"My ambition is to help a club like Marseille join the group of top clubs in France."

Lomu was first diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a rare and serious kidney disorder, at the end of 1996.

He successfully returned to the game after treatment, but in May 2003 he was put on dialysis three times a week due to deterioration in his kidney function, with the treatment's side effects leaving him with severe nerve damage in his feet and legs.

Lomu faced life in a wheelchair if a kidney transplant was not performed, so underwent the operation.

He signed a two-year contract with New Zealand province North Harbour in 2005, and also played for Welsh club Cardiff Blues during the southern hemisphere's off-season.

However, he was unable to achieve his goal of being selected in the All Blacks squad for the 2007 World Cup in France, having suffered a shoulder injury.

Lomu agreed to play in a charity match in England last year, but withdrew after injuring his ankle in training.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- During the current economic crisis, high-flying women have been overlooked for promotion, according to a study out Tuesday.

At the upper level of management, business is still dominated by men.

The study, by U.S. nonprofit research group Catalyst, surveyed 873 MBA alumni who graduated between 1996 and 2007, asking how their careers had fared between November 2007 and June 2009.

The results showed that overall, male and female MBAs have proved resilient to the recession and have fared equally well in the U.S., Canada and Asia, with 31 percent of surveyed women reporting that they had been promoted during that time period, compared to 36 percent of men.

However in Europe, just 26 per cent of women were promoted, compared with 44 percent of men, according to the study published in the Harvard Business Review.

According to the Harvard Business Review, of the U.S. Fortune 500 companies only two per cent of the CEOs are women, and only 15 per cent of the seats on their boards of directors are held by women.

Professor Susan Vinnicombe is the director of the Center for International Women Business Leaders at Cranfield University School of Management in England.

She told CNN that while it isn't clear why the figures for Europe in particular show such a gender discrepancy, it reflects discrimination faced by women business leaders in general.

"There is a whole stream of research of male and female MBAs that systematically shows the more senior they get the bigger the disparities in salaries and promotion," she said.

"Immediately after the MBA -- at the mid level -- women do quite well, but as they progress upwards the disparities emerge and get wider. That's not just for MBAs, it's the function of men and women in the workforce in general."

When it comes to the top tier, women worldwide were much more likely than men to lose their jobs, with 19 percent of female senior executives losing their jobs, compared with six per cent of men.

Eleanor Tabi Haller-Jorden, General Manager of Catalyst Europe told CNN that the discrepancy is probably not the result of the current economic malaise. "These figures reflect what has been a challenge in Europe for a number years," she said.

"The talent pipeline in Europe is clearly not as robust for women. This study indicates that by and large this is not directly related to the economic crisis, but it may have magnified the discrepancy."

Haller-Jorden cites European corporate culture, perpetuation of gender-based stereotypes, exclusion of women from informal networks and a lack of role models as reasons behind the discrepancy.

Cranfield University produces what it calls the "Female FTSE Index," showing the percentage of female directors in Britain's top 100 companies. Vinnicombe says that in the last 10 years the number of female directors has hardly improved, increasing from seven per cent to just 11 percent.

Vinnicombe adds that she has found anecdotal evidence that a number of senior women in the British banking sector have chosen to leave their jobs, rather than work in a "high pressure, highly controlling" work environment brought about by the economic crisis.

The Catalyst study also shows that many MBAs aren't letting the economic crisis get in the way of career advancement. Overall, 34 percent of respondents had received a promotion and 35 percent made a lateral move.

"The data almost indicates business as usual, in highly unusual times for business," Haller-Jorden told CNN.

The common perception might be that given the current economic uncertainty, employees would choose to play it safe rather than chance their luck in a volatile job market, but the study found that MBAs have been willing to risk career moves, with 20 percent of respondents changing jobs, 14 percent relocating and four percent starting their own business.

Haller-Jorden said that MBAs represent "high-potential employees" who tend to be entrepreneurial and show a high level of initiative.

She added that these individuals tend to be opportunistic when it comes to their careers, seeking out new developmental opportunities, exploring lateral moves, looking at options around relocating, and choosing other employment opportunities to make sure they aren't negatively impacted by recession.

"The results are sobering for a corporate sector which may have assumed that people would be grateful to have a job and wouldn't necessarily be exploring other options," she said.

"For companies to rest on their laurels and assume they don't need to worry about retention is a mistake."

(CNN)  -- A mass grave unearthed Tuesday in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, is believed to contain bodies from an epidemic of yellow fever that swept the city in the 1870s, police said.

Two buildings from the 1940s were torn down at the site, and maintenance workers grading the land in preparation for the construction of a new building uncovered the remains, said Montgomery police spokesman Maj. Huey Thornton.

The site is adjacent to a cemetery, he said, and "based on the information we have from historical documents kept by the actual cemetery ... it does appear that it may be remains from a yellow fever epidemic in the 1870s."

Officials from the Alabama Archaeological Society and the Alabama Historical Association were at the site and are expected to be able to confirm that, he said.

It was not immediately known how many bodies might be buried at the site, Thornton said, but authorities are reassuring the public there is no cause for concern. The remains are clearly too old to suggest any recent activity, he said.

According to an article posted online by the Mississippi Project of the American Local History Network, an extensive outbreak of yellow fever occurred in 1878, spreading across eight states but particularly affecting Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Some 16,000 people died from the disease that year alone, according to the article.

(CNN) -- Online and on the air, talking about sports has almost always been a guy thing. Former athletes and coaches banter on a more-or-less equal footing with other guys who've never played a down or never hiked a ball but have a head full of stats and an encyclopedic knowledge of the manly arts.

Meshall Shuman zooms in on Hattie Lemon at a recent taping of "Ladies in the Locker Room"

It's almost insulting to say the obvious, but there are plenty of women who know their sports, too. And they have their own sports show, one that offers an alternative to the "testosterone ceiling" of the guys' club.

It's called "Ladies in the Locker Room," and TV subscribers in the Atlanta, Georgia, area have been tuning in to its unique brand of sports commentary, analysis and trivia since 2004.  Watch the 'Ladies in the Locker Room' Â»

The show is the brainchild of Hattie Lemon, a prolific writer, director, producer and actor whose independent crime series "Atlanta Homicide" is featured on the CoLours TV network.

"Ladies in the locker room are not women who think they know everything about sports; they just know the men who do," Lemon said. It's one of the catchphrases she uses to describe the show that immediately disarms most critics who otherwise wouldn't respect an all-female sports show.

"It's all women, all sports, all sexy," Lemon said. "It's a combination of my love of sports and my love of media."

Each year for the past five years, Lemon has recruited a new group of personalities and production crew members to punch out about a half-dozen shows. The show is captured live at sports clubs and restaurants across the Atlanta metro area, with additional time in the studio to create produced segments to add to the mix.

And for the second time in the show's history, Lemon is traveling to the Super Bowl with a handful of her ladies and a production crew to create a version of the show featuring interviews with the celebrities and stars flocking to football's big game.

Soma Balber, a self-professed superfan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and one of the show's commentators for the 2008-09 season, first got to know Lemon when she began playing a recurring role in "Atlanta Homicide." They got to talking about sports, and Balber was asked to be a part of the show.

"It's kind of nice to show the audience that women can have fun watching sports," Balber said. "And we want to educate women about sports as well."

Lemon, who describes herself as a huge fan of professional football, says she hopes her show will lead more men to understand that women love sports, too.

"When women talk about sports, sometimes men look at us as groupies," Lemon said. "Men don't think women understand sports."

As for men who have never played sports but still know all the stats? They get the "man pass."

It's not fair, she says, but "it is what it is. I just hope we get more women talking about sports."
