    Well,

    I was looking for somebody to ask me this gratuitous question, so that I could chip in with this smart-aleck answer. :-)

    You see, February is not just the month of the Valentine, it is also the American Heart Month.

    "February is American Heart Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and a major cause of disability. An estimated 1.2 million persons in the United States will have a myocardial infarction (i.e., heart attack) in 2007. Recognizing and responding quickly to symptoms and receiving appropriate care can limit heart damage. Prevention measures reduce the risk for heart disease and its effects. At the individual level, persons can eliminate or control their own risk factors, including high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, obesity, and diabetes. At the community level, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends school, worksite, and health-care facility education programs on heart disease; policies that ensure access to screening, referral, and counseling services for stroke and heart-disease risk factors; and measures that ensure access to healthy food and safe environments for physical activity."  - Read more, here.

    So, honouring this important month, the contest of the "Hearts" will continue till the end of the month.

    Thanks.

    Rajendran.
