For a few weeks each year, your friends and family get good at that.

Southside Preps: A.J. Edds
Greenwood H.S. Graduate
Iowa Hawkeyes
#49 – Junior
Outside Linebacker
After a heart breaking loss to Pitt 21-20, the Iowa Hawkeyes will open the Big Ten season this Saturday against Northwestern. Leading the defense will be Greenwood High School grad, A.J. Edds. Coming off an outstanding 2007 season where A.J. was named All Big Ten Academic, he will again be a critical component of the Hawkeyes 08’ squad. Iowa’s 3-1 record has them off to a great start. The real test begins this week for A.J. and the Hawkeyes as the Big Ten campaign will get underway. If you have ESPN Classic, you can catch A.J. in action this Saturday at Noon.
Tia Today: Sugar, dancing and forgiveness
Day 10 of the new habits for life is upon me. To my surprise, I can move with more ease and have much less back and ankle pain. Now, this doesn’t mean I’m dancin’ in the steets yet. That much coordination may take a while. (Do grandmothers dance in the streets?)

It opens the door for dialogue about how the mom is doing. The last thing you want is a depressed mom. It’s important to screen.”

Chefs are the doctors of the future
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, was right-on when in 400 BC he declared: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
After my loyal 15-year-old yellow lab died, I deeply grieved and became emotionally intoxicated on an unfamiliar level. We spent nearly every day of her life together; even vacations centered on the beloved family member. Just recently, however, I discovered that I was being overly medicated by my family physician. Psychotherapeutic drugs, like antidepressants and sedatives, have nearly doubled from 671 deaths to 1,300. Adios to drugs that took me out of the game and hello to food as medicine.
