deal.

vast arsenal ... including CNN, HBO and Warner Brothers. (graphic ends)
But the merger was controversial. AOL is the the country's largest
internet service provider and Time Warner the second largest cable
service. Would the new heavy hitter use its power to shut down
competitors. The FCC says it has come up with conditions for the deal
that would protect the company's rivals.
SOT: William Kennard, the FCC chairman
"Because of the size and scope of the two companies involved we had to
make sure that this historic marriage of companies would benefit
American consumers. "
There has been little opposition from consumer groups. Many feel they
may be the big winner here. Under the terms of the merger -
Time Warner has to open up their cable lines to rival Internet Service
Providers.
AOL's popular instant messaging system is also fair game to rivals.
Finally, to prevent any chance of a monopoly, the new venture is
prohibited from entering into any agreements with communications giant
AT&T.
SOT: ROBERT W. PITTMAN, CO-CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, AOL, TIME WARNER.
So now it's up to the companies to make the merger work. With a wealth
of content waiting to cross over to the Internet, the future of news and

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels.
When you have it checked it's determined by two separate numbers.
The top number is the systolic.
It measures the maximum pressure when the heart is at work, beating.
For an adult the normal reading is between 100 to 135.
The second number is the diastolic, it measures the minimum pressure, when the heart is at rest.
A normal reading should be between 60 to 80.
The higher those reading are--the greater the threat to your health.
And although there is no cure -- there are ways to control high blood pressure.
