Anyway, it hit my fiance as well and was so happy he could help someone. It's amazing that even the smallest thing can warm a heart. "BAD WEATHER" - It all depends on your Perspective: With all the shivering and complaining around here - you'd think none of us had ever spent a winter in Wisconsin!

The soldier's family confirmed that for us - sharing his wife took a picture of him in the flurries just before he left for Iraq.
New advice: Moms-to-be don't need to avoid peanuts
Breast-feeding helps prevent babies' allergies, but there's no good evidence for avoiding certain foods during pregnancy, using soy formula or delaying introduction of solid foods beyond six months. That's the word from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is updating suggestions that may have made some parents feel like they weren't doing enough to prevent food allergies, asthma and allergic rashes. In 2000, the group advised mothers of infants with a family history of allergies to avoid cow's milk, eggs, fish, peanuts and tree nuts while breast-feeding.

Hot new diet drug put to the Healthline test
The new diet drug Alli is a hot seller in the valley. It has been available over the counter for several weeks now. The Healthline 3 Team digs deeper. People everywhere are talking about the results and side effects it can produce. We looked into this new drug to see if it's living up to its hype. Henderson mom Jaime Clear was one of the first people in the country to start taking Alli. "I've lost 19 pounds so far, just in the last 8 or 9 weeks. Jaime received drug samples from Glaxosmithkline back in April. She tells us Alli is working for her like nothing else has.

Bahaa Taher
Galal Amin [the renowned AUC economics professor] asks the question, ‘What ever happened to the Egyptians?' Things have happened. These include the loss of the dream. We dreamt of doing something new. This was true about literature, economics, politics and society. These were very big dreams. You could not help but be excited about this project that existed then.
