...trees were barely moving. It's certainly a strong storm, but not nearly as powerful as folks feared. And so Gustav arrived with a somewhat diminished bang, the first bands striking just before midnight. For much of Sunday evening, the city, and region, had been bathed in the odd silence that usually precedes hurricanes. As the wind quickened, the street lights shook...
That makes the newly spun-off Dr Pepper Snapple Group a bit of a soft-drink Frankenstein, cobbled together from odd parts. Dr Pepper has acquired about $1.2 billion in bottling assets over the past two years, and that will likely continue, which bodes well for its longer-term outlook, says Wachovia analyst Brian Scudieri.

So maybe they're not the Beatles. Or the Jackson 5. But they're a damn sight better than the Osmonds...
...might seem odd that we have already spent billions of dollars and millions of painful and risky man-hours - as doctors and patients - on spinal stenosis surgery, all without "knowing" (until now) whether or not it "works." Welcome to the trendy world of "evidence-based" medicine...
