Barry Bonds has just hit his 751st homerun, putting him within four of the elusive 755 benchmark set by Hank Aaron. Coming in the top of the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, July 3rd, Bonds 751st evokes yet again a number of issues revolving around his quest for history. For one, where does 756 put Bonds amongst baseballs greats? Does it make him the greatest homerun hitter of all time? More, does it make him the greatest player of all time? And there is, of course, the ubiquitous steroids allegations surrounding Bonds and the rest of baseball. Fair or not, these suspicions have tainted Bonds chase, with some suggesting that Bonds should receive no recognition from the League for his upcoming achievement; that Hank Aaron and Bud Selig should be conspicuously absent for the games in which he closes in on the mark; and that Bonds, perhaps, shouldnt even be allowed into the Hall of Fame.

All About Alli, The Weight Loss Pill

They ask if you are ready to commit to a weight loss plan that includes Alli, the over-the-counter version of the FDA-approved fat blocker formerly known as Xenical.

The name has changed and the over-the-counter version is one-half the strength of Xenical but it's the same drug. And it has some of the same problematic side effects that plagued its prescription-strength predecessor gas with oily discharge, inability to control bowel movements, oily or fatty stools, and oily spotting.

Alli (pronounced "ally" as in friend or associate) hits drug stores on Friday, June 15. And as its name suggests, Alli is merely one component of a new weight loss program.

More than just a pill, the Alli program involves a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, regular walking and toning exercises, and behavioral changes.
