I'm Steve Ruiz, online content editor for OrlandoSentinel.com. After a long holiday weekend, it's back to work for most of us today. Here's hoping these top stories will give you something to talk about with your coworkers. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

Elsewhere, Tiger Woods said his DUI arrest in Palm Beach County was the result of a bad reaction to prescription medication.

And finally, MegaCon is over for another year, but you can relive some of the top sights with a photo gallery here.
