BRONX, NEW YORK, January 16- Residents living in and around the Bronx can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Knights of Columbus will host Life Line Screening on January 28. The site is located at 3243 Ampere Avenue in Bronx. 
Four key points every person needs to know:
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability.
Eighty percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.
Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke
Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.
Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.
Packages start at $149. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.  
For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening.com.  Pre-registration is required.

BRONX, NEW YORK, January 14- The Maritime basketball team was defeated by conference-opponent Farmingdale St., 80-50, Saturday afternoon at the Riesenberg Hall Gymnasium. The loss drops the Privateers to 1-8 (0-4 Skyline) on the season, while the Rams improve to 8-4 (4-1 Skyline) with the victory.
“I’m very proud of the way our players competed,” commented first-year head coach Jake Scott. “We had a lot of opportunities to get back in the game, but were not able knock down some good looks. I’m pleased with our progress and am very confident we are getting better each game.”
Maritime was led by freshman Kevin Blohm (Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville), who tallied 17 points off the bench. Senior Ron Behtea (Harlem, N.Y./Humanities Prep.) chipped in with 16 points and a team-high four rebounds, while sophomore Sean Corley (Harlem, N.Y./Thurgood Marshall) added six points and a game-high six assists.
The Privateers actually held a 19-18 lead at 8:13 of the first half, as Blohm scored five points in the first 12 minutes. Farmingdale took control from there and spun off a 22-4 run the rest of the half to take a 40-23 lead into the half.
The Rams’ senior big-man AJ Matthews recorded a double-double, leading all players with 22 points and 14 rebounds. 13 of his points came in the second half, where Farmingdale outscored Maritime, 40-27, to secure the victory.
Three other players scored in double-figures for the Rams: sophomore Justin Bailey had 12 and senior Leo Esonwune and freshman Ryan Davis each scored 10, apiece.
