It may surprise you to know that sciatica is not technically a back condition. Instead, it is a set of symptoms associated with spinal and/or hip conditions such as a herniated disk in the low back, spinal stenosis, or the relatively rare piriformis syndrome.
There are several causes of sciatica. It may be due to one or more problems in the spine, for example, herniated disk, spinal stenosis or bone spurs from arthritis. These conditions all, in one way or another, compress spinal structures, and the large sciatic nerve, causing pain. Piriformis syndrome also compresses the sciatic nerve, but this time by a butt muscle known as the piriformis. The sciatic nerve runs just in front of the piriformis and is easily pressured by it.
Pregnancy can also bring about sciatica. Still another type of sciatica is related to an unstable sacroiliac joint and its affect on the sciatic nerve as it exits the spine as a plexus, or grouping of nerve roots. There are several less common causes of sciatica including tumors, infections, and total hip replacement for congenitally dislocating hips.
Very often, sciatica will go away on its own, or will respond well to conservative treatment methods. Sometimes, however, sciatica is treated with surgery to repair the herniated disk or to make more space in the vertebrae. A September 2005 review of studies sponsored by the U.S. Agency on Healthcare Research and Quality revealed that over the long term, reduction of pain was approximately the same between sciatica patients treated with surgery and those treated without surgery. In these 3 studies, a total of 544 sciatica patients were followed for 10 years.

When the days are short and the nights cold and long, it's tempting to indulge in some fattening comfort foods. Try these low fat comfort foods instead. They're hearty and delicious.
1. Mac and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is perhaps the ultimate in comfort foods, but if you use regular cheese, butter for a roux and whole milk, that's an awful lot of fat calories. Here's a low fat macaroni and cheese that dispenses with the butter and substitutes reduced-fat cheese and nonfat milk for their full-fat counterparts.
2. Turkey Chili
3. Shepherd's Pie
4. Crockpot Chicken Chili
5. Sausage and Mushroom Stew
The beauty of this sausage and mushroom stew is that it's quick and easy to make. I used lean Italian chicken sausage, but turkey sausage would be a good substitute. This stew doesn't really require anything extra, but if you're especially hungry, a slice or two of warm whole-grain bread would be a nice addition.
6. Lentil and Black Bean Soup
Comfort foods needn't be high fat or high calorie. Soup is a great example. You can make delicious, nutritious, and satisfying soups such as this Lentil and Black Bean soup, which is packed full of low-fat, high-fiber goodness. If you choose to use vegetable broth, this makes a great vegetarian lunch.
7. Tamale Pie
8. Turkey Meatloaf
This is one of my favorite meatloaf recipes. Using lean ground turkey, breadcrumbs soaked in milk, and shredded vegetables makes for a flavorful, tender, moist meatloaf. In fact, the recipe yields two turkey meatloaves. Enjoy with skinny mashed potatoes (substituting low fat buttermilk or low fat milk for butter and cream), and your favorite veggies.
9. Three-Bean Crockpot Chili
A hearty, warming low fat crockpot chili with extra-lean ground beef, kidney beans, pinto beans and black beans. Enjoy with some mini corn muffins.

Use leftover soup to flavour a simple risotto. This version uses butternut squash soup, but vary the recipe by using any other leftover soup you have.
200g/7oz leftover butternut squash soup, (from the Butternut squash soup with crisps recipe)
200ml/7fl oz vegetable stock
4 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
100g/3½oz arborio rice
4 tbsp grated parmesan
Combine the leftover butternut squash soup and stock in a pan and warm through.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over a low heat and soften the onion. Add the rice to the pan. Cook through for five minutes.
Ladle the stock into the rice pan at regular intervals, allowing the rice to absorb each time. Stir well each time the stock is added to the pan. Continue this process until the rice is cooked through.
Serve with grated parmesan.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

The Patriots picked up a solid win over a traditional 11th Region power Thursday in Richmond.
Andrew Wylie scored a goal and Levi Agee earned a shutout victory as Model Laboratory defeated Lafayette, 1-0.
With the win, Model moves to 6-0 on the season.
The goal was Wylie's 13th of the season, which ties him with Todd County Central's Tyler Harris as the leading scorer in the state.
Wylie also has eight assists on the season, which is third-best in the state.
The only goal of the game came in the 57th minute on free kick from about 20 yards out.
Model is set to return to action at 4 p.m. Saturday at home against Corbin.
Lady Indians 2, Boyle County 1
Madison Central got first-half goals from Maryssa Stewart and LeeAnne Ogle and held on for a 2-1 win Thursday at Boyle County.
Madison Goodman gave up a late goal, but earned the victory in net for the Lady Indians.
"It was just an all-around awesome team effort," Central coach Chris Dunham said.
With the win, the Lady Indians (5-0-1) remain undefeated on the season.
Ogle scored about 10 minutes into the game on an assist from Stewart. The duo teamed up again about 10 minutes later, with Stewart scoring on an assist from Ogle.
Central led 2-0 at the half and had plenty of other scoring opportunities, but couldn't find the net again.
Boyle County scored with about six minutes left in the second half.
Central is set to return to action Monday at South Laurel.
Estill County 3, Berea 0
The Berea Community boys soccer team (1-3) had a tough time getting the ball in the net Thursday in a 3-0 loss to Estill County.
After giving up a goal on a penalty kick less than five minutes into the game, the Pirates pretty much controlled the game and had multiple chances to tie or take the lead in the first half.
But the Pirates' shots on goal hit the crossbar, the side post or were just wide of the net, and the Engineers made their early goal stand up and took a 1-0 lead into the half.
Berea coach Casey Poynter said he was pleased with the play of his team in the first half.
"I think we won the first half. We had more real opportunities to create something than they did, but we just couldn't capitalize," Poynter said. "Sometimes we struggle and are very panicky with the ball. Sometimes it's just the indecision on when to pass and not to pass, that's our biggest problem."
After being the aggressor in the first half, the Pirates were just the opposite in the second half, as Estill controlled the ball for much of the half.
Estill put the game out of reach with two goals within a minute of each other midway through the half.
"The second half we just came out very flat," Poynter said. 'Most of the time it's the opposite, we regroup and play better in the second half. But tonight we did not."
Berea doesn't have much time to regroup. The Pirates have a matchup with Madison Central Monday at 7 p.m.

True or False? Do most people buy an HDTV before big events like the Super Bowl or the Olympics?
According to a recent random survey of 600 people by Retrevo, the answer is false.
Although these media events may spur some people to buy an HDTV, the biggest motivator is price. Seventy-five percent of the survey respondents said that major events like the Super Bowl don't matter as much as a good deal.
Eleven percent said the Super Bowl would be enough to get them to buy a new HDTV; 10 percent said the Olympics would do it; and 4 percent said other events like the Academy Awards and Sweeps Week would (see Chart 1 below).
Apparently, to most people it also doesn't matter much that the Super Bowl and the Olympics will be broadcast in high-def. When asked if they would be able to receive Olympics coverage in high-definition, 49 percent said they weren't sure; only 1 percent said they would change service in order to receive the coverage in high-def, despite the hundreds of hours of coverage from Vancouver that NBC has planned (Chart 2).
Of course, part of that last one goes back to a common plague of HD—often people buy the new TVs and think they are receiving high-definition broadcasts but really aren't because they haven't switched their satellite or cable boxes.
As for enjoying the 5.1 surround-sound experience that high-def delivers, 51 percent said they don't care about events being broadcast in surround sound and don't own a surround-sound system (Chart 3).

The routine blood test was taken the day after a party where I had an unusual 3 cupcakes which each had an unusual amount of a favorite icing and I also had one rare sugared 12 oz can of soda. I know it was too much and I am embarrassed and sorry I did it.
Even though I fasted for 9 hours after the party before the blood test the next morning, could that party food have affected my glucose reading somewhat?
My primary care doctor commended me on my loss of 18 pounds over the last year, especially as I also went through menopause at the same time which is apparently when women put on weight due to lessened estrogen.
I have been actively on a weight loss, nutrition and daily walking lifestyle change for the past year. I plan to continue my focus on nutrition and walking 1-3 miles daily. I want to lose another 35 - 55 pounds over the next year or two to get to healthy goal weight.
Dr. Dansinger is it possible the routine fasting blood test was affected by the unusual out of my ordinary number of party treats I had the day before?
In any case, you are clearly on the right path with the weight loss, nutrition, and exercise. I applaud you on the 18 pounds so far, and your plans to lose much more. I believe we should all be acting like we're fighting diabetes, whether we have it or not.
Michael Dansinger, MD
yes, especially if you ate something similar in meals before/after that (even if that was something you thought fine, like bread).
I'm not a Dr but I was diabetic 4 years ago and after 3 months Atkins-like dieting (avoiding sugar-blasts like you had) my average BG reduced from 350 to 150, and another 3 months loosing weight while returning a few carbs,... my BG returned to an average 95-100.
These days I eat pretty normally including pizza, beer, chips, etc, but if I were to pile on suggar like 3 cupcakes w/ soda-sugar, pizza, pasta, and stuff like that, I could see my BG#s rise again.
The upside for me is, like you, putting my brain in control over my weight and paying enough attention to food choices/effects to obtain health beyond what I had ever expected to enjoy again in my lifetime.
Hope that helps, God Bless!
Hi Doc, I think that's good advice!
One thing I've noticed is that the dietary good advice for diabetics has much in common with cancer and other health conditions from the alternative medicine voices that have crossed my research-readings. As things like toxins often manifest in multiple ways, dietary and sedentary abuses can manifest in similarly multiple ways. An example I observed was research into amines of a building's steam leak with 25 possible manifestations with everything from rashes to stones and diabetes, hmmmm. anyway...
As far as the "ideal diet" there of course is no such thing due to the spectrum of individual needs. Yet the Mediterranean-diet's-food-pyramid and those DTD live/dead food pics I posted on my profile seem IMHO good guide-posts for those in need of information on where to start when faced with a realization of a problem. And once onto the body's most sensitive indicator of environment/dietary health - wow the results are great. Thanks for your interest and commitment in passing it along!
BTW, I received a tooth-cap from a fantastic dentist yesterday who has my business after my wife and I had a horrible experience at the more corporate-flavored dentist who wanted to pull all her teeth, and destroy one of mine to "save" another tooth next to it that's still fine now 4 years later. Her teeth are good now after a couple of caps (all she needed, rather than the false teeth they specialized in selling). There seriously are GOOD and BAD doctors, detists, etc.
1 more idea, rather than retoric of "FIGHTING" some may respond better to "optimizing health" via diet, AND moderation of many things including such things as coffee, etc.
My best friend is battling Stage 4 Colorectal cancer at the moment.
When it comes to exercise and diet, she's received no guidance, no recommendations from her oncologist, surgeon, or GP...
Exercise and proper diet fall outside the bounds of standard accepted treatment of stg 4 colon cancer (even though she's missing 75% of her colon!). Approved cancer fighting by the AMA for stage 4 involves surgery, chemo drugs and radiation. Anything outside those "choices" is viewed as "alternative" treatment and you are warned to tread lightly in this area.
This is not a critique of the skill and extraordinary knowledge her physicians possess. If not for them, there's no question my friend would not be alive, today.
But, anyone surviving Stage 4 Colon cancer will tell you this: You can follow conventional cancer treatment and accept the doctor's prognosis of lifetime maintenance chemo and permanent disability...
But, for those that will accept nothing less than a "cure" (or die trying), at some point in time, you have to step outside your doctors advice because their training does not a allow for therapies other than surgery, chemo or radiation...Even though they tell the patient, "You will never be cancer-free."
So, I asked my friend, "How's that work for you?"
My friend: "It doesn't."
Don't ever base a medical decision on a one time reading.
Your cupcakes and soda might have led to that reading but 114 is not anything to be alarmed about. Take a few more fasting Blood Sugars and get an A1C- take a deep breath and relax.
what the hell is BG
I guess I ought to be alarmed or ashame. My A1C has been between 8 and 10 for the last couple of years. Ironically, I have been spared all the symptoms. My podiatric checks showed perfectly normal responses. My retina scans were normal so much so that the eye specialist commented "for someone with a 10 history of diabetes, you must be controlling your BG very well". Sadly, I don't really make enough effort.
My weight has been stable and my BMI (24) is borderline between normal and overweight. I have normal blood pressure.
My cholesterol scores are normal for all the indicators. A few years ago, I had tingling sensations in my hands but they stopped after I took some liquid L-carnitine without consulting my doctor.
For a 56year old, my skin is wrinkle-free.
I am presently on Medformin (850mg) morning & evening and diamicron (80mg) for breakfast & lunch. Now I have started taking alpha lipoic acid which some websites say is good for reversing the bad effects of diabetes.
So, the questions are :
- is ALA really good for diabetics?
- is it true that Medformin has anti-aging side effects?
- if my present medications are not effective, what other options should I take short of insulin jabs? I am asking this question here because my doctor seems reluctant to prescribe anything else.
Will appreciate yr advice,
If you have the ability to fix something that's wrong now, why wait till something happens that you cant fix?
with a fasting glucose test?
Like today it was 117 (a.m. pre-food) after yesterday I ate pizza, chips, beer, etc. The pizza seemed a lot. A few days ago it was 91 and that was on a morning after a day of hard physical work splitting firewood.
The point of a number over 115 is "hay watch yourself - and behave a bit better for a few days". Thankfully after 3 years reversed that doesn't radically restrict my diet any more... just throttles the beer and candy.

Parents will no longer lose sleep on Christmas Eve as their children stay up to hear the sound of reindeer on the roof. This is all thanks to Google's newly-launched Santa Tracker app, which follows old Saint Nick as he leaves the North Pole and makes his journey delivering gifts around the world.
Currently the app features a countdown clock in the middle of the screen. Once the clock hits zero, kids can track Santa's exact location and his next stop to guarantee the Father of Christmas doesn't skip their house. Google will start mapping the virtual character's whereabouts at 2 p.m. PST on Christmas Eve.
The app also offers detailed departure times down to the second, as well as how many presents have been dropped off. The left corner of the platform houses a pull-down menu with links to all the ways users can track Santa, with options including Google+, an Android app, a Chrome browser extension, and the Google Earth app.
Kids can also be entertained by games featuring elves, sleighs and gifts as they anxiously await Santa's arrival. Parents can even have Santa call them through Google Voice or interact with him through messages on Google+.
Powered by an algorithm that charts Santa's travels from city to city, the Santa Tracker is Google's new iteration of a platform to follow the jolly old man's journey after ending its five-year Christmas partnership with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). NORAD has instead collaborated with Microsoft Bing this year to track the bearded man's travels with their service, which will use 2D Bing Maps or view 3D routes on Cesium, and will launch on Christmas Eve.

Here, via the Live Feed, are the first eight and a half minutes of ABC's remake of the '80s classic sci-fi thriller "V." The best part happens at around the 3:55 mark, when Jesus tries to kill a homeless guy in a wheelchair. (I feel ya, Jesus. I feel ya.) The rest of the video's not gonna make you crap your pants or anything, but I imagine the "spaceship looming over Manhattan" scene will look pretty cool on a giant flatscreen with HD. Hey, does anyone have a giant flatscreen with HD? Well la dee dah, your highness.
Anyway, "V" will air for four weeks during sweeps starting November 3rd, then ABC will shelve it until early next year, a marketing method commonly known as "blue balls." I guess we have to wait to get our "V" card! Wokka wokka wokka! *falls through trap door*
I want more like this!

News of Friday's mass shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead at an elementary school in Connecticut sent shock waves through communities around the country, including tight-knit Napa County.
What do you do when the unthinkable occurs? Please see the accompanying pdfs for the California Department of Education's crisis response guidelines for parents and teachers.
The Napa Valley Unified School District was preparing to go on Christmas vacation when the story broke. Maren Rocca-Hunt, district director of elementary education, sent a message to school staff:
I know that our thoughts, prayers and best wishes go out to the families, communities and our fellow educators who have been so tragically impacted by this event. While we could never begin to understand such a horrible situation, we can at least use it as a reminder to be appreciative of those we love and to continue to support, nurture and safe-guard the young people with whom we are entrusted.
Some of our schools have received calls from parents asking about safety policies and procedures.
During a time like this we need to have a heightened awareness to campus security and safety and to the impacts an incident like this can have emotionally on the children we serve.

The Medical Oncology Fellowship Program provides both clinical and research training opportunities for each fellow during this 3-year program. All fellows spend their first year in a clinical setting, caring for patients. In the second and third years, fellows will still provide some patient care (outpatients only) but will focus most of their time on an individual research project. In addition, a unique training program has been developed for those fellows interested in hematology/oncology. Click on the links below to obtain detailed information on each training phase/option.
Clinical Training
Research Training
During their first year with the Medical Oncology Branch (MOB), fellows spend their time about equally between inpatient and outpatient care. All fellows spend six (6) months at the NIH Clinical Center and six (6) months at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC). In the second and third years, eighty to eighty-five percent (80-85%) of the fellows time is protected time that is devoted to research; for fifteen to twenty percent (15-20%) of the second year the fellow is involved in the care of outpatients at either the NIH Clinical Center or the NNMC.
Medical Oncology Branch at the NIH Clinical Center
The MOB is an adult medical oncology branch whose clinical programs emphasize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the context of internal medicine. Accordingly, patients are selected for care in the MOB if they have a disease or disease-stage currently under study by senior members of the branch. Current areas of research emphasis include lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, acute leukemia, new drug testing, bone marrow transplantation, and AIDS and its associated malignancies. Training in clinical diagnostic procedures such as bone marrow examination, liver biopsy, and peritoneoscopy is emphasized. There is close collaboration with related clinical units in the NIH Clinical Center such as radiation oncology and surgery.
Inpatient Experience (Year 1) - In the MOB, first-year fellows care for both inpatients and outpatients simultaneously during their six-month rotation. Each fellow bears primary clinical responsibility for a cohort of patients, whom he/she follows longitudinally for the duration of the rotation. All major diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are made by the fellow in consultation with members of the senior staff. Trainees acquire experience in treating a wide variety of neoplastic disease and in dealing with the entire spectrum of medical complications of cancer and its therapy.
Outpatient Experience (Years 1, 2, and 3) - The outpatient clinic in the MOB provides ambulatory care to protocol patients with neoplastic diseases and AIDS. Fellows are responsible for the entire patient population followed here and for the initial screening of all new patients accepted for evaluation by MOB physicians. Clinics are organized in a disease-specific fashion, and fellows attend clinic five days a week under most circumstances. During the second and third year, those fellows attending MOB clinics follow a much smaller population of patients and rotate every three months through the different disease-oriented clinics; about one-half day per week is devoted to this activity. As in the first year, trainees have primary responsibility for the care of their patients, except when they are admitted to the inpatient service. In that case, inpatient care is assigned to a first-year fellow. Second-year and third-year fellows have no inpatient responsibilities.
Medical Oncology Branch at the National Naval Medical Center
MOB at Navy is an organizational unit in the Center for Cancer Research of the NCI, but is physically located in the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, adjacent to the NIH campus. It is part of the Navy's cancer treatment program. The Medical Center is a 450-bed tertiary referral hospital for active duty military, retired military, and military dependents. Patients are referred from around the world with all types of malignant disease including solid tumors (e.g., lung, breast, gastrointestinal) and hematologic malignancies (Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and acute and chronic leukemias). There is a large population of young adults with malignant diseases such as germ cell tumors. The MOB's program has a 20-bed inpatient service and also provides consultation in oncology and hematology to the National Naval Medical Center (approximately 40-60 active inpatients at any one time). In addition, civilian patients who are eligible for NCI studies can be admitted to the program for care and study. This represents an integrated effort in cancer patient care, clinical and laboratory investigation, and training. More than 2,000 patients are followed by the program in a study and primary care setting, and each fellow has approximately 150 patients for primary care responsibilities.
Inpatient Experience (Year 1) - At the National Naval Medical Center, each fellow is responsible for approximately six to eight inpatients at any given time. The trainee serves as a consultant for approximately one-half of these patients. For the other half, the trainee participates in rendering care in a near direct mode, in some cases managing the patient through hospitalization and subsequent outpatient follow-up. Again, fellows treat a wide range of illnesses, drawing patients and referrals from both the local community and a wide geographic area.
Outpatient Experience (Years 1, 2, and 3) - The MOB clinic at the National Naval Medical Center provides for the administration of outpatient chemotherapy, transfusions, and the performance of therapeutic phlebotomies and minor procedures including lumbar punctures, paracenteses, and thoracenteses. Oncology fellows participate in four half-day clinics per week in their first year. They see an average of six patients per clinic session. Fellows in the clinic provide outpatient consultation and render ongoing primary patient care. They are responsible for the overall management of the patient with the supervision of an attending physician.
Rounds and Conferences
Lectures, clinical conferences, research seminars, teaching rounds, and joint conferences relevant to clinical oncology and cancer research are offered throughout the MOB's program. Many of these conferences are organized specifically for medical staff fellows, including a formal yearlong lecture series in clinical oncology, which meets twice weekly and offers lectures by staff members throughout the system on issues in neoplastic disease. In addition to multidisciplinary clinical conferences, walk rounds, and a variety of disease-specific multidisciplinary meetings, there are pathology teaching sessions and journal clubs.
Finally, there are numerous research seminars and lectures given throughout the NIH on a daily basis; these are regularly open to the entire NIH community. NCI Grand Rounds are usually on basic science topics or subjects of clinical relevance. Formal course work in the sciences is available through the NIH Foundation for the Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES).
In the second and third year, fellows focus on their individual research projects. They may select a topic for investigation from the enormous number of possibilities available in the laboratories and branches of the NCI.
Clinical research in the MOB focuses on the development of more effective combinations of drugs for tumor types having partial sensitivity to chemotherapy, the integration of new agents into combination chemotherapy, the use of high-dose chemotherapy with or without cytokine support, high-dose chemotherapy with bone marrow or peripheral stem cell reconstitution, reversal of multidrug resistance, early clinical trials of new agents with novel mechanisms of action, the development of new antiretroviral therapy for patients with HIV infection, and gene transfer into hematopoietic stem cells. Areas of interest in the laboratory include oncogenic control of gene expression, development of gene therapy vectors, the biochemistry and molecular biology of the folate receptor and reduced folate carrier, repair of drug-induced DNA damage, multidrug resistance and its reversal, T-cell repertoire selection, and graft-versus-tumor effects in bone marrow transplantation.
The clinical research studies at MOB-Navy involve a wide variety of diseases and represent a collaborative effort with other branches in the NCI's Center for Cancer Research. Laboratory investigations in the branch revolve around human tumor cell biology and molecular genetics. There are currently major efforts in the following areas of research: selection of therapy by in vitro drug sensitivity testing of tumors from individual patients; studies of dominant and recessive oncogenes, transcription factors and peptide hormone genes in human tumors; and the construction of early clinical trials of new agents and combinations of agents using both clinical and pharmacologic end points.
The NCI/MOB, in cooperation with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), offers a combined training program in hematology and oncology for those individuals who desire to be board eligible in both subspecialties. Oncology fellows who desire hematology training will spend their first year on the Oncology Service (see Medical Oncology) and six months of the second year on the Clinical Hematology Service. The remainder of the training during the second and third year is protected time devoted to research.
During the second year of the fellowship program, fellows receive six months of board training in clinical hematology, with three months spent at the NIH Clinical Center on rotations covering allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation, general acute hematology, consultative hematology, hematopathology, and transfusion medicine. In order to provide broader training in non-research-driven hematology, fellows spend three months on rotations outside the NIH, including experiences on the Acute Leukemia Service at Johns Hopkins, the General Hematology Service at the Washington VA Medical Center, and the Hematology/Oncology Service at the Washington Hospital Center, an excellent private facility with a large cancer center.
The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) requires two years of training for oncology and three years of training for combined hematology/oncology. Since our program provides intensive subspecialty training in clinical management and research (clinical or laboratory), the NCI/MOB provides an extra year of training for our fellows if they desire. Therefore, oncology fellows are provided three years of training and hematology/oncology fellows are guaranteed four years of training.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Police in Raleigh are investigating the shooting death of a man at an apartment complex near North Carolina State University.
Officers were called to the apartment around 12:30 a.m. Monday.
Police spokesman Jim Sughrue says the victim was 29-year-old Monkeith Alexander Tennessee. It was unclear if Tennessee lived in the complex.
Sughrue says investigators do not think the shooting was a random attack.

I stepped out on my front porch for a couple of evenings this week to watch for the first signs of the common nighthawk migration through our area.
I have not seen any yet but I am confident I will as August wears out. Nighthawks form loose flocks in the evenings starting about the third week of August, moving in a general southern direction often at fairly low altitudes. These congregations of birds are easily seen even without binoculars if you are lucky enough to be in their path.
Just a few decades ago it was not too difficult to observe this movement. The numbers of nighthawks in a single flight often numbered several dozen birds; even approaching a hundred individuals on good nights.
Now, thanks to a long-term decline in their population, such numbers are extremely rare. Numbers now are more often than not reduced to single-digit observations. A persistent and patient observer can still see some birds however.
Looking for common nighthawks is casual and peaceful birding at its best. Find an area that gives you a good view of the surrounding sky and scan just before dusk for thirty to forty-five minutes. Nighthawks are fairly large birds with long narrow wings that make them appear even larger.
Watch for their erratic flight with deep wing beats. They can occur anywhere. I've seen them in busy parts of the city as well as rural areas. \
Fans attending Carolina Panther's night games often will see nighthawks diving through the lights at the stadium, mistaking them for huge bats.
A few pairs of common nighthawks still nest in the inner city. The species, a ground nester, adapted to the flat gravel roofs of urban buildings and began to extensively utilize them for nesting.
The movement away from this type of rooftop to a synthetic rubberized material has led to speculation that this may be at least one cause for the specie's precipitous decline. Declines in large insect populations may also have played a part. Despite their name, they are not hawks at all. They belong to the goatsucker family that also includes another familiar yet declining species; the whip-poor-will.

Objective: Depression is a predictor of adverse health outcomes in chronic heart failure (CHF), but it is not known whether specific symptoms drive this relationship. We examined the impact of somatic/affective, cognitive/affective, and total depressive symptoms on all-cause mortality and health status in CHF.
Method: Consecutive CHF outpatients (n = 366) completed the Beck Depression Inventory. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality; the secondary endpoint was disease-specific health status, as measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (n = 285) at inclusion and 1-year follow-up. The study was conducted between October 2003 and March 2007.
Results: There were 68 (18.6%) deaths (mean ± SD follow-up, 37.2 ± 10.6 months). Patients high on somatic/affective depressive symptoms had a greater incidence of mortality compared to patients low on somatic/affective depressive symptoms (31% vs 15%; hazard ratio [HR] = 2.3; 95% CI, 1.38–3.69; P = .001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of mortality between patients high versus low on cognitive/affective depressive symptoms (23% vs 18%; HR = 1.4; 95% CI, 0.80–2.40; P = .25), but there was a significant difference between patients high versus low on total depressive symptoms (24% vs 16%; HR = 1.6; 95% CI, 1.01–2.63; P < .05). After adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics, we found that somatic/affective depressive symptoms predicted all-cause mortality (HR = 1.8; 95% CI, 1.03–3.07; P = .04), while cognitive/affective and total depressive symptoms did not. Both dimensions of depressive symptoms predicted disease-specific health status at 1 year.
Conclusions: Only somatic/affective depressive symptoms significantly predicted all-cause mortality in CHF. In the context of diagnosing and intervening, awareness of subtypes of depressive symptoms is important.

Hand made by 5th generation blacksmith Masami Asai blade is marked Akifusa, the designer/developer of this line of knives with a sticker on the ferrule which reads tezukuri 'handmade'. Azai san makes knives in Takefu Japan, a small center of handmade knife making. His work is a prime example of the artistry and precision of fine Japanese knife making, not only are his knives beautiful but they perform exceptionally well.
The Japanese version of the French chef knife, gyutos are most at home with vegetables but can be used for a wide range of jobs, thin and precise they cut smoothly and wedge less than thicker knives, 180mm (7 3/8″) gyuto is a size familiar to users of 8″ European and American chef knives, long enough for most jobs and comfortable for most users.
Made with a core of SG2 powder metal hardened to HRC 64-65. This metal is a very tough stainless steel which has been made into a fine powder and then sintered back together giving it a very fine grain structure and homogenous distribution of alloy materials translating into a blade with excellent edge life and a good sharpenability; surprisingly easy for a knife with this kind of edge life. The thin distally tapered blade wedges very little in use and cuts very smoothly.
Literally 'floating ink' a Japanese damascus steel made with several types of metal forge welded together creating varying patterns depending on how it is treated. Varying from a simple stacked layer structure to a wild or geometric patterned structure, suminagashi differs from the layered steel created in sword making in that it is not a homogenous metal folded to create the pattern. The artistry involved the forging of suminagashi can be quite impressive.

It was a teachable moment — an experience comparable to a school principal's reprimand for bad behavior. But the lesson wasn't learned in a classroom environment, but rather in "Life 101."
I was in a hurry, Kathy Blevins explains about choosing the express lane during the grocery stores five oclock rush hour. And then my line wasnt moving and I debated about moving to another one.
With at least three people ahead of her, plus one at the check stand, Kathy eyed the other nearby lanes for a faster opportunity. But each time she considered moving her shopping cart, someone else seized the open spot.
Why is everyone else's line moving and not this one? the 62 year-old had complained inwardly, worn from her day of setting up breast cancer radiation treatments. I'm tired and want to go home!
Ahead the line stalled, a young mother with toddler on her hip was in conversation with the cashier. Nearest to Kathy were two women, their fifteen or less items already on the conveyor belt, and a man just ahead of them.
With time dragging, the bookkeepers mind focused on the two 30-somethings chatting loudly, their flamboyant dress and mannerisms a distraction.
I caught myself being ugly, the Apple Valley, Calif., resident says about her silent thoughts. How can you dress that way and talk like that? noting their raised voices and tight clothing.
But then something happened that made Kathys face flush with shame. Looking on, she watched as one of the young women edged past the friend and the gentleman next in line.
I heard her say Can I pay for her groceries? Kathy recalls the vivid scene, the manager ready to cancel the young mothers transaction.
Suddenly, the finger Kathy had been mentally pointing was turned toward herself.
The person I was at that moment, she pauses with reflection, wasnt as good as the person Id been judging.
The altruistic womans actions hadnt been showy but spontaneous and heartfelt. As quickly as she had paid for the food, she returned to her place in line, continuing her conversation with her friend.
But that generous and compassionate woman, who I sadly judged, Kathy comments ashamedly, I believe the Lord used to teach me a huge lesson!
A life lesson with an enduring principle: People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at a persons thoughts and intentions. 1 Samuel 16:7b (NLT)

As most of you know, Al Filippone writes a blog for his peers in the real estate world. But periodically a post is perfect for sharing with my audience and clients. This is one of those posts. So many sellers continue to think the Spring Market starts in the Spring! Au contraire…The process begins long before that! Read on.
"When is The Best Time to List My Home?"
Question the Question
It is often appropriate to ask questions in response to a question. This is one of those instances. The first question you should ask in this case is, "Tell me please when your ideal closing date?" This question is key because many homeowners have a less than accurate perception of how long it takes to sell a home. During your presentation, you inform them that the average market time in their town or neighborhood is 105 days, for instance. In their mind, that initially translates to preparing to place their home on the market three and one-half months before they want to close.
Delving Deeper
Let's take a closer look, however:
- Preparing the home to list: (Staging, gathering workmen, etc.) Anticipated Time: 1 Week / Actual Time: 3 Weeks
- Market Time: (Many MLS systems do not include days accumulated when homes were either cancelled or expired and re-listed.) MLS suggested market time: 105 days / Actual market time including expireds and cancelled listings: 165 days
- Processing Time: (From pending date to closing): 45 days
You can see with the example above that the homeowner really should begin preparation at least 7 months (231 days) in advance if they would like to close during a specific month.
The Alternative Answer
Often, when posed with that question, the homeowner is looking for a suggestion regarding the optimal season to sell. They're not so much concerned with closing during a particular month as they are attracting the best buyer. Conventional wisdom is that the Springtime is best.
My twenty-five years experience has told me differently, that no one season is better than another. For every reason someone can give me as to why it's best to list in the Spring, I can give a reason as why the Fall is just as fruitful. One just can't predict when the best buyer for a particular home will appear.
In actuality, the best buyer will come forth and the opportunity for the most satisfying home selling experience typically occurs at that moment when the homeowner is emotionally ready to sell and the home is physically ready.

A Medford man was indicted Wednesday on a charge alleging he planned to rob a Norwood check-cashing business with two others in January.
John Salvucci, 65 was indicted by a Grand Jury in Boston's Federal District Court Wednesday on a charge of conspiracy to commit robbery, according to court filings. Also indicted on the same charge were James Chambers, 53, of Stoneham and George Whalen, 55, of Winthrop.
The three men allegedly planned to kidnap the owner of Norwood-based Forest Hills Check Cashing then make him help rob the store. But another person Salvucci attempted to involve in the plot tipped off the FBI, who arrested the trio on Jan. 25.
The investigation leading to their arrest included wiretaps and surveillance of Salvucci's Princeton Street home.
During one recorded conversation, Salvucci allegedly told the cooperating witness: "Nobody's gonna get hurt. These are (expletive) pros. That's all they do...They got all the gear in the world...The only thing they're worried about is the cops. If the cops don't show up, everything's gonna be fine," according to an FBI affidavit. He went on to describe the conspirators experience with robberies and said they were "from Charlestown," the affidavit said.
Investigators also followed the three men from Salvucci's home to the check cashing business on Jan. 21 and appeared to case it in preparation for the robbery, the affidavit said.
Chambers and Whalen both have lengthy criminal records that include armed robbery charges.
All three men were ordered held in custody until trial by Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein following a hearing Jan. 31. A trial date has not been set.

South Carolina texting while driving lawyer Ben Matthews of Matthews and Megna LLC says drivers who break the law and cause accidents will be held accountable.
Columbia, SC (PRWEB) July 13, 2014
South Carolinas new statewide ban on texting while driving will likely lead to fewer car accidents with fatalities and serious injuries, according to South Carolina personal injury attorney Ben Matthews of Matthews and Megna LLC.
Matthews expressed his comments in response to an article published by WLOS ABC 13 about the new South Carolina law banning texting while driving statewide. (WLOS ABC 13, SC Texting While Driving Ban, June 11, 2014)
This is great news for everyone who uses our roads in South Carolina, Matthews said. Texting while driving has become one of the leading causes of car accidents in South Carolina and around the country. Thats why its a relief that state lawmakers have finally enacted a law outlawing texting while driving in South Carolina. Far too many people are seriously injured or worse in auto accidents caused by texting drivers in South Carolina. We know because our law firm handles many cases involving innocent injury victims. And hopefully, this new law will help put a stop to such horrific car accidents in South Carolina.
The new law went into effect June 9 and supersedes more than 20 city and county ordinances banning texting while driving, according to WLOS ABC 13. As a result, the same ban on texting while driving applies to all drivers in South Carolina.
Under the new law, texting drivers in South Carolina will be fined at least $25 for a single infraction, according to the Charleston City Papers article about the new statewide law. (Charleston City Paper, Under new S.C. texting ban, penalties lessened in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, June 11, 2014) The maximum fine for texting while driving in South Carolina is $50 under the new law, according to The State.
Including South Carolina, 44 states now ban texting while driving statewide, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), which monitors distracted driving laws nationwide. The GHSAs statistics are updated monthly. Currently, the only states that do not have a statewide texting while driving ban are Arizona, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma and Texas, according to the GHSA.
South Carolinas law is long overdue, according to South Carolina texting while driving accident attorney Matthews.
Our law firm has been saying for years that texting while driving needs to be outlawed in South Carolina, Matthews said. Study after study has shown that drivers simply cant concentrate on the road while theyre reading or writing a text message. Hopefully, drivers will get the message now and put down their phones while theyre on the road. If they dont and they cause an accident, they will be held accountable. Individuals who are injured and families who lost loved ones because of negligent drivers should seek the advice of legal counsel.

For Horton, Auburn 'feels right'
AUBURN - Tim Horton was an All-Southwest Conference wide receiver at Arkansas and later coached some of the top players in Arkansas history. His father was an assistant coach at Arkansas, retired last summer as executive director of the Razorback Foundation and is a member of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
Tim Horton turned down an offer to remain at his alma mater and joined Gus Malahn's Auburn staff
The University of Arkansas is part of who Tim Horton is, and it always will be. He grew up there. He helped running backs Daren McFadden, Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis excel and become NFL starters. He doubled as recruiting coordinator and became known as one of the top recruiters in the SEC.
But today, Horton is Auburn's tight ends coach and proud of it.
Bret Beliema was named head coach at Arkansas in December, and he soon offered Horton the opportunity to remain and coach tight ends. But on Jan. 4, Horton declined and signed on with first-year Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn. His wife Lauren, daughter Caroline and son Jackson will arrive soon.
"Coach Malzahn offered me first, and I was just excited and thrilled to be able to come to a place like Auburn," Horton says. "It just felt right. Obviously, when you've competed against Auburn and have so much respect for Auburn like we did at Arkansas, this is great place with great people.
"I've coached with people throughout the years that went to Auburn and played at Auburn and coached at Auburn. You've never heard a bad word about it. It's a very, very special place."
Horton knew Malzahn from the days when he was at Air Force and recruited the state of Arkansas. Malzahn was the head coach at Springdale High School. It was Malzahn and the staff he has put together, Horton says, that led him to make the move.
"I know everyone on this staff," Horton says. "I have crossed paths, I have coached with, I've been around, I've recruited against just about everybody around that staff table. I know what kinds of coaches they are, but more importantly, they are a great collection of men. I would love for my son to play for this group of coaches. These are good men whose values and character are similar to what I hope mine are."
What turned out to be Horton's final Arkansas season was not the stuff of dreams. Last summer's scandal involving a former volleyball player cost head coach Bobby Petrino his job. He was fired and replaced by interim coach John L. Smith. Expected to challenge for the national championship, Arkansas went 4-8.
Tim Horton earned respect as a developer of players and as a recruiter at Arkansas
"It was rough," Horton says. "We had a tough year. We literally last four times on the last play of the game."
Horton is proud of the highly successful players he coached at Arkansas, and he's viewed in the coaching business as an outstanding developer of players on and off the field. Recruiting, for him, is a labor of love.
"Really, recruiting is my hobby, too," Horton says. "When I have extra time, I'm going to write a note, watch a video, call a high school coach. I don't fish or hunt or do those things, so my hobby is recruiting. I think, if you are a coach, that is probably a good thing.
"I really enjoy the relationship part, not just with the players but the mamas and daddies and families. I've been really fortunate because I've always felt like I've been at a place where I have a good thing to sell. Definitely, Auburn is a great thing to sell."
For the first 13 years of his life, Horton was around Arkansas football almost every day. His father coached linebackers for Frank Broyles and the defensive line for Lou Holtz.
"I ran around those practice fields and ran around the stadium," Horton says. "The players taped me to the goal post, all those kinds of things. I've been around the game, really, my whole life."
It was in Conway, Ark., where his father became head coach at Central Arkansas University, that Horton began the journey that would lead to his life's work, a journey that would lead him back to those Arkansas practice fields and beyond.
From 1986-89, Horton caught passes and returned punts on teams coached by Ken Hatfield. He had talent and he understood the game. He made All-SEC in 1989 and was a two-time academic All-SWC selection. Though he majored in business, he soon realized his future was in the game he loved.
Harold Horton is a member of the Arkanas Sports Hall of Fame
Arkansas assistant Jerry Moore told Horton that, when he got a head coaching job, he wanted to take him along. When Moore was named head coach at Appalachian State, he was true to his word. In 1990, months after his Arkansas career ended, Horton was an assistant coach at Appalachian State. He stayed there for nine seasons. Along the way he coached with Lionel James and Stacy Searels, both former Auburn greats.
"Two great Auburn men," Horton says. "We would play racquetball. If I won, I would make Searels sing the Arkansas fight song. If he won, I had to sing the Auburn fight song. So, I know the Auburn fight song. I know it real well."
In 1999, Horton joined Fisher DeBerry's staff at Air Force. He moved to Kansas State for one season and then returned to Air Force as offensive coordinator. But in July, Arkansas called and he went home as running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. Houston Nutt left after one season, but Bobby Petrino kept Horton on.
It was Horton's last Arkansas team that sent former Auburn coach Gene Chizik's Auburn career into a downward spiral that could not be stopped. When the Razorbacks went to Auburn, they had lost to Louisiana-Monroe and Rutgers and had been outscored 110-10 by Texas A&M and Alabama. They won 24-7 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and Auburn was headed for a 3-9 season.
Horton joins a program still stinging from the worst Auburn season in 60 years.
"I think the most important thing you have to establish with your players is about being honest, fair, responsible, respectable and compassionate," Horton says. "You have those five things, and then you have the most important thing. That is trust. If you have that trust, you have a chance to be very successful. Part of that trust is building a relationship. To me, one of the really important things to do early is build that relationship.
"I've really been impressed with the players, the ones I've met. A lot of times, if there are problem children, they will eliminate themselves. The fence-riders will either get on or they won't be here. It's pretty simple."
Horton says he has no doubt that Malzahn will take Auburn back to the top, and he says he welcomes the challenge of sharing the state with Alabama, winner of three of the past four national championships. Auburn, he readily points out, is only two years removed from a national championship of its own.
"Really, let's just worry about the things we can control," Horton says. "We can control working hard. We can control our attitude. We're not worried about anything else right now. Let's take it one day at a time and worry about the Tigers."
Horton's ultimate goal is to be a head coach, but he says that goal is not the driving force in his life.
"I would like to do that one day," Horton says, "but to be honest, I want to make sure I'm a good dad first."

Joe Springer on Seeking Alpha proposed the following theory on why institutional money had a lot to gain by pushing Apple's stock price down to $500 by January 19, and a lot to lose if it had remained substantially higher.
More →
There is no question that Apple has done some amazing things. It has become the largest company in the world, by market value, because it has redefined industries. It redefined the music business, it redefined smartphones and it redefined tablet computing. Apple did not invent these businesses. Most observers would argue that the likes of Handspring/Palm and RIM invented smartphones and stylus-oriented computing devices, including Apple's Newton and Microsoft's Tablet PC certainly pre-dated the iPad. But Apple massively and permanently redefined consumers' expectations in these markets. While doing so, they built up an incredibly profitable hardware business.
So why is it that Apple's stock hasn't actually outperformed Amazon by that much?
The equity research arm of Barclays just put out a report on Apple, and it has a handy chart summarizing all of the main concerns investors have with the stock right now.
The concerns are: 1) Long term operating margins; 2) competition for iPhone; 3) competition for iPad; 4) no "next big thing; 5) concerns over maps; 6) management changes; 7) production execution; 8) execution risks in vertical integration
Let's dive into these a bit, shall we?
Yes, Apple is still the biggest company in the world. But since hitting a high of over $700 in late September, the stock is off about 20%. Putting this in dollar terms, the value of Apple, as a company, has fallen by nearly $140 billion compared to the September highs.
During this 20% drop, Apple's market value has fallen by 32x the total market value of RIM. Talk about a metric that puts things in perspective! Apple has also lost more value than 60% of Google's total market capitalization, and more than Verizon's entire market cap. Why?
The value of a company is whatever people are willing to pay for it. And for public companies like Apple, that value equates to an open market stock price times however many shares there are in existence. Street lingo for this is market capitalization, or simply "market cap".
Apple is the world's most valuable company. Period. Not just among technology companies, but among all companies in the world. Apple is worth a staggering $624 billion as I write this paragraph. It's stock price is hovering around $673 and since there are 937 million shares outstanding, multiplying those two numbers together gives us that immense market cap.
To hit a $1 trillion market cap, the stock price needs to climb to $1067, which is 59% higher than today's price. Of course, one trillion dollars is an arbitrary number. But lots of public companies are worth over $100 billion, and the next zero to be added gets you to a trillion. So it's psychologically important. Will Apple be the first company to achieve it?
As expected, and hinted at by Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple announced the start of a regular quarterly dividend this morning. They also announced intentions to buy back stock, although the dividend is the bigger news, and drew more questions from analysts on the call.
<img src="/sites/imore.com/files/images/stories/2010/11/Jobsipad.jpg" alt="Apple closed as the most valuable company in the world" title=Apple closed as the most valuable company in the world" width="400" height="224" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43950" />
While yesterday Apple only briefly passed Exxon to become the most valuable company in the world for a few minutes, today they managed to close that way. Whether they close that way tomorrow or not doesn't matter. Whether they continue to rack up these type of accomplishments or go on to yet again eclipse them, whether they continue to lay, an image of the splendor of Silicon Valley in glory undimmed before the introduction of the microprocessor, doesn't matter.
Today, Apple closed as the most valuable company in the world, by market cap.
And iPhone 5 hasn't even been announced yet.
What on earth is next?
Apple's market cap briefly rose higher than Exxon today, temporarily making Apple the most valuable company in the world.
Whether or not Apple again rises above Exxon, and whether or not they manage to stay that way for a while, it's still a huge milestone for a once-struggling tech company unsure if it could remain in business, let alone surpass the glories of their past.
I should have bought at Scully...
Digital Daily brings BOOM!ing word that Apple's market cap has just exceeded Google's, at $159.37 vs. $157.56.
Good on Steve Jobs and Apple. And kudos to Valleywag for saying, way back in 2007 that this would happen because "Apple knows how to design not just gadgets, but the businesses that go around them."
We here at TiPb have been marveling at Apple's unique 360 degree spherical integration for a while now as well.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph

What is in your glass this summer? For the first time in two decades, plain H2O is the most popular drink in America. The average person drinks 58 gallons of water a year compared to 44 gallons of soda. It took two decades for water to break through and take the lead. At first, I couldn't believe soda held the top spot for 20 years, but then I realized the front runner had a lot of help from advertising and pop culture. Water was left unflavored and in the tap. It wasn't successful until marketing campaigns jazzed up water and made it fashionably cool to carry around a water bottle. Like the trends of fashion, water was in and soda drinks were out. And then last week, a national study reported diet soda was as evil as illicit drugs. I knew soda was not the better choice, but I had never compared a sugary drink to drug use.
It has been two weeks since I had a diet soft drink. And I don't even have a good story about my decision to give up my favorite afternoon pick-me-up. I simply lost the taste for soda. It happened over Memorial Day weekend in North Carolina. A friend and I spent the holiday shopping, relaxing and running around downtown Winston-Salem. We shopped and dined at a health food store that didn't serve or sell any soda. And at other places, I ordered water and coffee. By the end of the trip, I realized I hadn't even missed my usual soda. I decided to continue the streak. To be fair, I like coffee so I get most of my caffeine in the morning. I would drink water the rest of the day and have a diet soda in the afternoon. I didn't grow up a soda drinker. My mom and dad kept a few two liters stashed in the pantry, but limited soda to pizza nights on the weekend. For a treat, we were given a choice of grape or orange flavored soda. In college, I probably drank too much, falling into late-night study sessions. However, I wanted the caffeine but not the calories so I drank diet soda. The habit continued after college. Then my fitness level increased quite a bit. I knew water played an important role in a healthy lifestyle, but I resisted giving up soda 100 percent until a few weeks ago.
Days after I drank my last soda, the new report stated that diet soda eroded teeth as much as meth and crack. The study compared the affects of soda, meth and cocaine. The results were featured on the BDT website and other media outlets across the state. But what is important to remember is that the study focused on the abuse of a particular drug or substance. In one patient's case, she drank about two liters a day for three to five years. The other subjects abused drugs for years as well. Can you compare harmful drugs to diet soda? We know the affects of drugs; we see it in our neighborhoods and streets.
I do believe our children would benefit from less soda and more water. I know I am better drinking water as well. The woman in the study abused diet soda and did not visit a dentist on a regular basis. The key word is "abuse." Nobody should drink more than a two liter of soda in one day. Furthermore, according the University of Iowa, diet soda is acidic, but so are sports drinks, energy drinks and even apple juice. So what happens if you abuse any of those? I am not defending soda. Life is all about moderation, something I am learning as I get older. There is always a way to consume too much of anything — diet soda, ice cream, fast food, candy, fruit and yes, even water. For now, I am happy drinking water and of course, coffee. I figure a new study about the affects of coffee will emerge any day now. Will I drink a diet soda again? Probably. It goes well with a cheesy pizza. But the bottom line? Say no to drugs. Yes to water. As for diet soda? Let's aim for moderation and common sense.
