Martinsville Attorney Rickey Young is being publicly reprimanded by the State Bar.
Three years ago he sued a client, claiming the man owed him 36-hundred dollars for damaging the engine in his Porsche.
Young revised that figure to SIX hundred and later dropped the suit altogether. It cost Todd Davidson 12-hundred dollars to defend himself.
The State Bar says the hearing panel reviewed Young's "prior disciplinary record," before imposing a public reprimand.

If you're worried about losing your memory as you get older, the first

A new study from the American Academy Of Neurology links fat and
senility. In fact, it looks like the best way to protect your brain, is
to do the same thing you do to protect your heart. And that means among
other things, lose the spare tire around your gut. As well as keeping
your blood pressure under control. Researchers followed more than 35
hundred men from the 1960's to the 1990's and found those men who did
not take care of themselves in middle age paid the price decades later
with a high rate of senility.

study form the American Academy of Urology finds men who are overweight
are more likely to become impotent, at a young age.
