with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto . . coming up on cbs 2 news to the at 5:00 under cover on a garbage truck, discovering secrets and new yorkers and their trash. >> voluntary water restrictions in place for the tri-state area not everyone is doing their part could that lead to mandatory restrictions, the warning for homeowners, those
