|
(AP) - This NOAA satellite image taken Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 01:45 PM EDT shows low clouds over the Central US highlighting active weather in the Plains and the Mississippi Valleys. Low pressure moves into the Southern Plains and pulls up rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Increasing moisture wraps the system and spreads into the Central and Southern Plains and the Mid-Mississippi Valley, enhancing instability across these regions. This translates into light to moderate showers and a few embedded thunderstorms with a chance of flash flooding. Meanwhile, snow showers develop across the higher elevations of eastern Colorado as the aforementioned system exits to the East and a cold front drapes across northern New Mexico. To the north, a developing area of low pressure, increasing onshore winds, and lower daytime temperatures in the Upper Mississippi Valley produces a wintry mix of precipitation in northeastern Minnesota. Elsewhere clouds are visible over the Appalachians and in the Mid-Atlantic as high pressure dominates the region. (AP PHOTO/WEATHER UNDERGROUND)

Miserable in menopause, Alsgaard pondered an awful choice: drenching hot flashes or hormone therapies that might raise the risk of cancer. What former actress Suzanne Somers raved about held much more appeal ; custom-mixed 'bioidentical' hormones, just like ones the body makes. For years, medical groups have warned against custom-compounded hormones. But that has not stopped their popularity, and Somers has promoted them in several best-selling books and on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' earlier this year. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
