WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Houston Rockets should have their star James Harden back in the lineup soon as the team is looking forward to playing him in Thursday's game against the Northwest Division-leading Minnesota Timberwolves, local media reported on Wednesday.

Harden suffered a hamstring strain in an overtime win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 31 and has been sidelined since then. Houston has gone 4-3 during his absence.

However, the club still has to wait for the league's ruling on the LA Clippers-Rockets incident which might lead to penalties against the All-Star guard.

It's reported that Harden was among the group of players, with Trevor Ariza, Chris Paul and Gerald Green, who attempted to enter Clippers locker room after the game played on Monday.

Harden averages 32.3 points and 9.1 assists per game this season.

BEIJING, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) - China's Internet industry saw double-digit year-on-year growth in investment in the third quarter.

Investment in the industry reached 6 billion U.S. dollars in the third quarter, up 22.2 percent from a year earlier, according to a report released by China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

On a quarter-on-quarter basis, however, the number was down 55.6 percent due to lack of large-value investment cases.

The number of investment cases reached 429 in the third quarter, up by 75.1 percent from the second quarter, and by 193.8 percent from the same period last year, showing a more active capital market.

Among all investment cases, 83 were in the e-commerce, 77 in Internet finance, 48 in business services and 36 in online education.

In terms of investment value, Internet finance drew the most investment -- 1.26 billion dollars -- followed by online tourism and e-commerce.

1. Plants contain many types of phytoestrogens; additionally, they contain minerals and other constituents which help our bodies modify the phytoestrogens and so we can use them safely. Red clover is mineral-rich and contains all four of the major types of phytoestrogens: lignans, coumestans, isoflavones, and resorcylic acid lactones. It is the world's best-known anti-cancer herb. In general, foods and herbs rich in phytoestrogens, with the possible exception of licorice, show anti-cancer abilities. Isoflavone, however, when isolated (usually from soy) has the opposite effect: in the lab it encourages the growth of breast cancer cells.

2. Plant hormones, including most phytoestrogens, can't be used by humans. But we can convert them into ones we can use - with the help of our gut bacteria. When women take antibiotics, their excretion of phytoestrogens plummets. Get your gut flora going by eating more yogurt, miso, unpasteurized sauerkraut, homemade beers and wines, picked-by-your-own-hands-and-unwashed fruits and salads, sourdough bread, and whey-fermented vegetables. (See Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon for whey-fermented vegetable recipes.)

3. Plants which are exceptionally rich in phytoestrogens are regarded as powerful herbal medicines. Plants which are good sources of phytoestrogens are regarded as foods. While food can certainly be our medicine - a practice I advocate - it is also true that medicines are more dangerous than foods. Foods rich in phytoestrogens are different than medicinal herbs rich in phytoestrogens. They have different places in my life.

I eat phytoestrogenic foods daily in quantity. I use phytoestrogenic food-like herbs regularly (not daily), in moderate quantity. I take phytoestrogenic herbs rarely, in small amounts, for a limited time.

Phytoestrogenic foods are the basis for a healthy diet and a long life. The first food listed is the highest in phytoestrogens. The best diet contains not just one but many choices from each list:

Whole grains (rye, oats, barley, millet, rice, wheat, corn) Edible seeds (buckwheat, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, amaranth, quinoa) Beans (yellow split peas, black turtle beans, baby limas, Anasazi beans, red kidney beans, red lentils, soy beans) Leafy greens and seaweed (parsley, nettle, kelp, cabbage, broccoli, kale, collards, lamb's quarter) Fruits (olives, cherries, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, plums, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, salmon berries, apricots, crab apples, quinces, rosehips, blueberries) Olive oil and seed oils. Garlic, onions and their relatives leeks, chives, scallions, ramps, shallot

Phytoestrogenic food-like herbs are generally considered longevity tonics. For optimum effect, use only one from the list below and to stick with it for at least three months.
