A sports debut

This week I had the chance to produce a complete sportscast for BUTV-10's Midday News. It was a great experience, although I think I should probably stick to the news.




Today's Sports:

The Boston Celtics pull out a 111-109 double overtime squeaker against the Charlotte Bobcats. Former Patriot Dante Stallworth turns himself in to Florida police on DUI manslaughter charges. The Red Sox prepare to leave Florida for Fenway, and say their pitching staff is armed and ready. 150 Boston College students prepare to run the Boston Marathon for a school dedicated to teaching students with multiple disabilities. And the Boston Bruins seek to extend their winning streak to 4 games tonight against the Ottawa Senators.

Boston bans sale of tobacco in pharmacies and on college campuses

If you're looking to buy your next pair of cigarettes, you better check where you're going. The Boston Public Health Commission has banned the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies and convenience stores located in college campuses. The ban began on Monday February 9, effecting about 100 stores within the city of Boston.

Pharmacist Gregory Laham has mixed feelings about the ban. "Its difficult to lose one customer, let alone lose 20 or 30 a day," said Laham, "but my feelings are as a pharmacist, how can you reconcile selling cigarettes? If you've got somebody that's on numerous heart medications, its tough filling prescriptions for them and then having them go buy two packs of cigarettes in your store."
