Over the last week I?ve seen the following headline a number of times: ?Curry and Onions May Prevent Colon Cancer.?

Floyd Landis will find out his fate on Saturday when results from his "b" sample test are revealed. According to all of the drug experts, nobody believes his b sample will show anything different than his A sample.

After his nutrition and hydration deprived meltdown yesterday, I didn't hear ONE person...not ONE...not even his coach Robbie Ventura...give him a chance for a comeback. The OLN hosts, the ESPN talking heads, the cycling ignorant newspaper writers--everyone called the San Diego resident's Tour De France "over", "collapsed", "a disappointment", "disgraceful" etc.
After Hurricane Katrina, we posted about our good friend Caitlin and her volunteer work in Biloxi. It was an amazing travel journey for her...and a far cry from the veg at the beach vacation that many of us seek for our R&R.
