Veronica Renata Santangelo (born 2254) is a Brotherhood of Steel scribe found at the 188 trading post in 2281.
Veronica is a Brotherhood of Steel journeyman scribe who has been indefinitely assigned to the role of "procurement specialist," responsible for venturing out of the Brotherhood bunker to find and acquire resources that the Brotherhood cannot create on its own, such as food. Irritated by what she sees as the Brotherhood's unrealistic and uninformed views of themselves and the world, Veronica is a perpetual outsider caught between her loyalty to the Brotherhood and troubling doubts about the validity of their current course.
Veronica was born and raised in the Brotherhood. Her father was a paladin, her mother a scribe. In her youth she fell in love with a woman, but Father Elijah split them up. Because the Brotherhood is not open to outsiders, many of its members felt that it was their duty to procreate and frowned upon same-sex relationships. Later in dialogue, she laments that both of her parents were killed in the same battle defending a position whose name and significance she no longer remembers, saying, "Guess it seemed important at the time."
After following the Brotherhood to the Mojave Wasteland from California, Veronica became disillusioned with their goals. The Mojave Chapter's Elder and her personal mentor, Elijah, had changed the direction of the Brotherhood somewhat by dispatching Scribes to recover beneficial technology instead of just weaponry, but after he abandoned the Brotherhood following their defeat at HELIOS One, his successor, Nolan McNamara, upped stakes and holed up in the Hidden Valley bunker, dispatching scouts only to assess the threat posed by the NCR. She felt that McNamara was too much of an isolationist, and by hiding away and hoarding technology instead of using it to win favor with the people of the Wasteland and attract new recruits, he was just going to "wait in a hole for everyone else to die."
Veronica felt that if the Brotherhood was to survive, things were going to have to change. She began to speak up about her beliefs, questioning the direction the Brotherhood was taking. In order to keep her out of the Brotherhood's hair and to stop her dissent from spreading, the Head Scribe sent her on longer and longer excursions out into the Mojave, allegedly to collect resources. It is on such an excursion that her fateful meeting with the Courier occurs.

- Beyond the Beef: The player character can offer Veronica to Mortimer as a substitute for Ted Gunderson for the banquet.
- I Could Make You Care: Veronica will ask the Courier to take her to Hidden Valley, where she will talk to the Elder about the Brotherhood's collapse, and how it will need to grow and change to stay alive. Veronica then asks the player character to find some technology to convince the Elder.
- If Veronica is convinced to leave, the Courier will have to go to the Follower's outpost and talk to Alvarez about getting her to join the Followers of the Apocalypse, but the doctor who decides who joins the Followers is out for the day. This will require a day's wait, after which a few rogue Paladins are found to have destroyed the outpost, killing everyone. She then blames herself for what happens. Afterward, she earns the Causeless Rebel perk, giving her a 30% increased attack rate.
- If she decides to stay, the quest is completed and she will gain the Bonds of Steel perk, giving her +4 DT.
- You Make Me Feel Like a Woman: Veronica has a long-held dream of wearing a dress. Giving her formal wear or White Glove Society attire will make her very happy, and in return she will teach the special unarmed move, Scribe Counter. The attire can be removed from her inventory without penalty after obtaining the Scribe Counter.
Effects of player's actions
- If the Courier talks negatively about the Brotherhood when first conversing with Veronica, she will refuse to join up as a companion, and further attempts to talk to her will yield only one dialog option: "Goodbye."
- If the player character has destroyed the Brotherhood Bunker in Hidden Valley before recruiting Veronica, she will ask what they know about the Brotherhood when they meet at the 188 trading post. Telling her about destroying the Brotherhood will cause her to express shock and lead her to say, "Well in that case: This is for them," and attack.
- Becoming Vilified with the Brotherhood of Steel causes Veronica to quit as a companion. However, it seems that even with a reputation as low as Merciful Thug, she will happily continue as a companion. It should be noted that she will remain a companion upon destruction of the Hidden Valley bunker, although she warns that it is the Courier's last chance, similar to what happens with Craig Boone after working too closely with the Legion, or Rose of Sharon Cassidy after gaining negative Karma with her as a companion. Destroying the Brotherhood of Steel by activating the bunker's self-destruction option will drop the reputation to Vilified, making Veronica leave the party even if she chose to leave the Brotherhood in her companion quest. Killing all the Brotherhood members without activating the self-destruction option is much less likely to make this happen, as it results in little to no loss of reputation. It is also possible for her to stay as a companion should the Courier complete all Brotherhood of Steel faction quests in their favor, make her leave the Brotherhood, and destroy them without killing any members.
- Veronica will enable access to Hidden Valley on much friendlier terms without being stripped of gear, having an Explosive collar put on, and having to get rid of Ranger Dobson from one of the bunkers.
- Completing her companion quest in favor of the Followers of the Apocalypse causes Veronica not to enter the Brotherhood bunker anymore. As a companion, she will always wait outside the entrance.
- Equipping NCR faction armor while Veronica is a companion may lead her to issue her "last chance" warning.
Other interactions
Giving Veronica the following dress-type items:
may complete the quest You Make Me Feel Like a Woman (See the quest for full details and bugs) and will make her say one of the following lines randomly:
- "Aw, you shouldn't have. It's just my taste. Thank you."
- "Hey, a dress! Thank you! I'm totally trying this on later."
- "<Gasps!> For me? Do you mean it? No, no it's too much. Well Okay. But it's too much. It's perfect. Thank you. Thank you."
- "I wish I had something I could give you. I-Wait! What about punching? That's the gift that keeps on giving."
|Voice-over narration
|In-game condition
|At odds with leadership over the Brotherhood's future, Veronica looked to the Mojave Wasteland for an answer both she and they could live with. But the answer would never come, and the dangers of the world that had left the Brotherhood of Steel behind would eventually claim her life.
|Veronica dies. (Will override all other endings)
|Hoping to lead the Mojave Brotherhood down a new path, Veronica sought to learn from the thriving cultures of the desert. Absent a firm solution, Veronica's expression of frustration with Brotherhood leadership would lead to her banishment. She ended her days a wandering tinker.
|Do not complete I Could Make You Care.
|Despite her departure from the group, the Brotherhood's peace treaty with NCR came as some relief to Veronica. Though she remained friendly with surface patrols, she was never again permitted to enter the bunker she once called home. Fearing for the safety of anyone she associated with, she continued her solitary life as a scavenger. But reports would emerge from Mojave scientists and social workers of old equipment miraculously repaired and research notes mysteriously completed.
|Complete I Could Make You Care by encouraging Veronica to join the Followers of the Apocalypse. Form a truce between the Brotherhood of Steel and the NCR during the quest For the Republic, Part 2.
|Though she'd seen the writing on the wall, the destruction of the Mojave Brotherhood came far more suddenly than Veronica had expected. The news devastated her. Despite her best efforts to leave her past behind, she found herself compelled to make one final journey to Hidden Valley. There, she paid her last respects to the only family she had ever known.
|Complete I Could Make You Care by encouraging Veronica to join the Followers of the Apocalypse. Destroy the Brotherhood of Steel in the Hidden Valley bunker.
|The Brotherhood's open aggression along the New Vegas highways troubled Veronica greatly. Nevertheless, it removed all doubt from her mind that in leaving them she had made the right choice. Eventually she would take to the road, less in hopes of finding a new home than of leaving memories of the old one behind her.
|Complete I Could Make You Care by encouraging Veronica to join the Followers of the Apocalypse. Complete No Gods, No Masters.
|The peace with NCR served to ease Veronica's worries about the Brotherhood's immediate future. Still, a distance had arisen between her and her fellow members that would never be bridged. She began secluding herself in crumbling libraries of the Old World, learning of promising technologies she knew the Brotherhood would never adopt.
|Complete I Could Make You Care by encouraging Veronica to stay with the Brotherhood of Steel. Form a truce between the Brotherhood of Steel and the NCR during the quest For the Republic, Part 2.
|The death of the Mojave Brotherhood came much too soon for Veronica, and in their absence, she felt truly lost. Yet in its wake, she took small comfort in her decision to remain by their side through their few remaining days.
|Complete I Could Make You Care by encouraging Veronica to stay with the Brotherhood. Destroy the bunker in any quest.
|Veronica put her moral sensibilities aside and supported the Brotherhood's new campaign of aggression as best she could. Yet deep down, she understood that it meant their end would surely be soon to follow.
|Complete I Could Make You Care by encouraging Veronica to stay with the Brotherhood, do not destroy the Hidden Valley bunker and complete No Gods, No Masters. Do not form a truce between the Brotherhood of Steel and the NCR.
Dead Money
After completion of Dead Money, the Courier can retrieve Elijah's holomessage from his console in the abandoned Brotherhood of Steel bunker and give it to Veronica, but only after exhausting all of Veronica's dialogue options regarding Father Elijah. In the same conversation, the Courier can choose to keep the holotape's knowledge instead, gaining the Elijah's Ramblings perk. Giving Veronica the message will give her the Elijah's Last Words perk.
|Other items
|On death
|Veronica's hood
Veronica's armored robes
|Veronica's power fist
Veronica's 10mm pistol
|Random food, miscellaneous items or ammo.
- Veronica is openly homosexual. Asking her "Have you ever been in love?" will lead her to talk about her formative years, and how she'd been romantically involved with another female member of the Brotherhood of Steel, a woman who chose to leave the Brotherhood behind after Father Elijah split them up, and when her parents' insistence that she be in a heterosexual relationship became too much. When a male character discussing follower tactics asks her to stay close, she makes the comment "This is as close as I get until you turn into a leggy brunette." Likewise, if a female courier tells her to stay close to her, she will say, "Hey now, you're going to have to buy me dinner first."
- Veronica receives a fair amount of commentary from non-player characters, and can be seen talking (though there is no audio dialogue) with non-player characters from all non-hostile factions.
- Both male and female characters from non-hostile factions will comment on Veronica's attractiveness, particularly Powder Gangers, Great Khans, the Kings, and even female Fiends.
- Veronica and Melissa Watkins seem to have a form of rivalry with each other, as they exchange snide comments when encountering each other.
- Veronica is capable of wearing power armor, so long as it is either non-faction or Brotherhood-faction armor.
- Veronica seems to be shy about showing her hair, as she is always wearing her hood when no other headgear is provided. Apprentice Watkins will even comment on this when walking through the VR Simulation area of the bunker. Veronica will first say, "I almost don't notice your lazy eye any more, Watkins," to which Watkins will retort, "I see you're still hiding your hair."
- Veronica will wear a breathing mask if one is given to her, which gives a full view of her hair. Likewise, Veronica will wear Ulysses' mask, which also gives a full view of her hair. See also the bugs section regarding lobotomite goggles.
- Even though Veronica strongly prefers unarmed combat, she is adept with Energy Weapons.
- Veronica will not equip the industrial hand despite the fact that it has the highest DPS of all Unarmed weapons. This is because the industrial hand is marked as a player-only weapon.
- Veronica will still "open" the door to the bunker when visiting it with her for the first time even if the player has already gained access by dealing with the NCR Ranger, leading to a rather amusing situation where Veronica asks the intercom to unlock an already opened door.
- To complete the Mr. House or Caesar's Legion main quest lines, it will be necessary to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel bunker in Hidden Valley, which will usually break Veronica's reputation threshold. If she quits as a companion, she will not return any gear she is carrying or using.
- It is possible to complete either the Mr. House or Caesar's Legion main quest lines and not have Veronica turn hostile by first making Veronica inactive (sending her to the Lucky 38) and then stealthily killing every single Brotherhood member in the bunker. Avoiding Vilified reputation while completing the quest will enable Veronica to remain a permanent companion.
- Alternatively, completing the quests Pistol Packing, Still in the Dark (favoring McNamara), and Eyesight to the Blind for the Brotherhood will earn enough positive favor with them that activating the bunker self-destruct will only drop reputation to Soft-Hearted Devil, after which Veronica will stay.
- When talking to Veronica about the Brotherhood and its past disagreements between its members on using their technology to protect Wastelanders, she will mention that "one chapter had a small civil war over it," referring to the conflict between the Brotherhood of Steel and the Brotherhood Outcasts in the Capital Wasteland.
- If she is low on health, she will comment on how she would rather have been an actress. She will also ask to be buried in a dress, showing her fondness for dresses even further.
- Doing all of the Brotherhood's quests before recruiting Veronica makes it impossible for her to get either of her own perks. As a result, her ending will not show once the game is finished.
- Asking The Forecaster about "Here" will lead him to say (about Veronica) "... the forecast: cloudy, with a chance of Friendship."
- Being a Brotherhood Paladin gives no extra dialogue when first meeting Veronica.
- Apparently, Veronica likes Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, as she sometimes says she wants a lifetime supply of them.
- Being caught pickpocketing Elder McNamara with Veronica in tow will lead her to kill any and all hostile characters. Although this does not cause loss of Karma or Brotherhood reputation, they will remain hostile indefinitely, making quests unavailable.
- Like ED-E, Veronica will not die, regardless of any difficulty, unless the Brotherhood of Steel quests have started.
- While never explicitly stated it could be inferred that her lover was Christine Royce. Both women explain that Elijah separated them from their lovers as same-sex relations were not permitted as it didn't involve procreation. As well Elijah was only an Elder in the Mojave and prior to that the head scribe with the Mojave expedition before it became a full chapter in the Brotherhood, which is the only time he would have had the authority to separate them. When asking Veronica about being separated she said that her lover left the Brotherhood in defiance, technically the Circle is outside the Brotherhood and most likely operates in secret with only high level members knowing of its existence for plausible deniability among the ruling council.
Notable quotes
- "Well, thanks for taking a chance on a naive young girl from California with stars in her eyes and a pneumatic gauntlet on her hand."
- "Great. Thanks. Thank you. I'll encourage people to name their non-ugly children after you. Seriously."
- "Sorry about that. Just because I love them doesn't mean some of them aren't assholes."
- "Ooo. Got something good for me? Is it a dress?"
- "You're making me carry the heavy stuff, aren't you?"
- "Does jumping at them with my fists count as ranged? <Sighs> Fine."
- "Yes! Finally. Everything's coming up Veronica."
- "Probably die of natural causes eventually anyway."
- "Holy hell, that's a lot of energy weapons. Guess we dropped the ball on that one."
- "Hey, you try getting a date wearing Scribe robes. Might as well be wearing sweatpants."
- "You know, I've been thinking. The real problem with the Brotherhood is that we isolate ourselves. Our training is top-notch, our technology gives us an advantage, but when it all comes down to it, we're losing because we shun the outside world. We always make enemies, never allies. We refuse to recruit outsiders, or see the value in their simpler technologies."
- "But... you don't have a "this is good news" expression on your face."
- "He was dead when I got there."
- "Look at the Followers of the Apocalypse. They use their expertise to improve people's lives. They train them to be self-sufficient. That expertise cultivates respect and gratitude. Spreads their ideals. Draws talent to their cause. They make friends like we make enemies. But they don't know a fraction of what we know. If we took on their role, we could stand up to anyone. We wouldn't have to hide."
- "What'd you think of Mr. House? I was surprised he only had the two robot sex slaves."
- "Wow. I've got to admit, you have completely defied my first impression of you. Eye lasers. I'll be sure and look out for that next time."
- "A lifetime supply of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, revenge against my enemies, and world peace. In that order."
- "Do me a favor. Make sure they bury me in a nice dress."
- "This better not be about the meaning of life."
- "Ooo, do I get a prize if I answer right?"
- "It doesn't matter. He died when we all retreated to Hidden Valley. I didn't expect to see him again, no one did."
- "That was... that was hard to watch. The parts I understood? Didn't matter. Past all the garbage, all it amounted to was goodbye."
Veronica Santangelo appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
- If asked about her personal life, she might mention "I was young and needed the money." This quote is similar to when the Chosen One (as a Porn Star) says to Ethyl Wright: "Look, I was young and needed the money."
- PC If you equip Brotherhood of Steel power armor inside Hidden Valley while Veronica is a follower, even if you are a "member" of the Brotherhood, she will react as if you have killed Brotherhood members, then repeatedly keep talking to you and saying "What?", every 3–8 seconds. Restarting your PC or console solves the problem. [verified]
- PC After giving Veronica formal wear or White Glove Society attire, she may thank you and say she'll teach you an unarmed move, and the screen will fade out and in, but the perk won't be added. According to the GECK, the object that does the timing for the fade out/in when she teaches the player the move is shared with the nine triggers used to start I Could Make You Care. The script for giving the move doesn't fully reset the object, so if any of the nine triggers have activated, she will no longer be able to give the perk. [verified]
- PC At Hidden Valley, she may glitch and stay at the intercom and the door to the bunker will become locked. In the PC version, the following commands can be used to fix this glitch: prid 000e32a9 then SayTo player HVVeronicaEnter. [verified]
- PC Sometimes she will randomly stop following the player after accessing her inventory. In the PC version, the following commands can be used to fix this glitch: prid 000e32a9, resurrect 1, disable, finally followed by enable. [verified]
- PC After completing I Could Make You Care, she may stop following, but can still be interacted with. The compass will have an extra quest arrow pointing at Gibson's Shack even though the quest has been completed and the map won't have a marker on the location. She won't follow the player except for through certain loading doorways, upon which she will immediately initiate direct conversation. She won't move from this spot, or attack any enemies. Even upon removing her as a companion and returning to the 188 trading post and re-enlisting her, she will still not move. This possibly has to do with the ending fight of her quest. You can also make her appear in Gibson's Shack if you use the terminal to download the research notes. [verified]
- PC Going to Gibson's Shack, Veronica will instantly appear when you enter. Use the computer and download the notes again. Walk outside and talk to her in normal dialog, tell her again what tech you will go for, and end the conversation. This seems to reset her and she will start to follow you as normal.
- PC When you try to give Veronica a dress, she will sometimes act like you haven't given her the dress. A possible way to fix the bug is to have Veronica with you when you sit down and stand up from any chair. You may need to access her inventory after you stand up. She will then act like you have just given her the dress and will teach you the Scribe Counter unarmed move, even if you have already taken the dress out of her inventory earlier. [verified]
- Playstation 3 If you don't ask her to join during your first conversation with her, it is possible that the dialogue option for her to join never appears after that. [verified]
- Playstation 3 Veronica can occasionally become stuck at the Silver Rush in front of the gun supply after she activates one of the triggers for her quest. [verified]
- Playstation 3 When exploring the underwater levels of Vault 11, Veronica may get stuck and will permanently disappear for the rest of the game. To avoid this, tell Veronica to wait before exploring the underwater levels. [verified]
- PC Sometimes, taking Veronica into the REPCONN test site offices level during the Come Fly With Me quest will cause Jason Bright to appear as hostile upon entry, and cause her to attack him without provocation. Telling her to wait outside the office entrance prevents this. [verified]
- Playstation 3 When paying Dawes the caps to enter the NCR Correctional Facility, she will randomly attack Dawes when you get in, but the Powder Gangers will not be hostile. [verified]
- Playstation 3 Sometimes, she will become trapped behind the first door (with a Very Hard lock) in Hidden Valley, rendering her unusable until the door can be locked. It will also prevent you for initiating dialogue with her, so you cannot use her to unlock the door. [verified]
- Playstation 3 When the player buys Euclid's C-Finder from Max at Freeside while with Veronica, it might automatically activate the quest I Could Make You Care but leave it in a glitched state where it can't be completed. [verified]
- Playstation 3 When initiating conversation via the companion wheel, Veronica will have two mouths; a regular mouth that remains stationary and a "ghost" mouth that will speak over the stationary mouth, while both are still visible. [verified]
- Xbox 360 While in hardcore mode, Veronica can be of some use. A glitch can occur where she can carry infinite pounds of weight. This has worked with lighter objects like missiles or Nuka-Cola's when placed one at a time, but it doesn't seem to work if she is already over-encumbered. [verified]
- Xbox 360 Veronica stops using her default power fist and equips a combat knife instead. Neither the power fist nor the combat knife shows up in her inventory, and giving her stronger melee weapons will not force her to switch. When waiting at the Lucky 38, she will walk around with her default power fist, however as soon as you tell her to follow you, she will switch back to the combat knife. [verified]
- Xbox 360 After destroying the Brotherhood bunker, Veronica will say how it is your last chance. After this, she will continuously engage conversation with you and you have to dismiss her to the Lucky 38. [verified]
- NOTE: This will sometimes continue even if you revert to a previous save (prior to the destruction of the bunker)
- Xbox 360 After fast traveling to a location, she will occasionally start running away as quick as she can for no reason. To correct this either enter a building (That makes your game load a new area),fast travel to another location, or wait for her to turn around. [verified]
- Xbox 360 Sometimes when given a ballistic fist, Veronica will later start using her default pneumatic gauntlet and the ballistic fist will have disappeared from her inventory. At a later time, it is possible to recover the "lost" weapon which has spontaneously swapped to your inventory and become invisible. [verified]
- Xbox 360 After giving Veronica her formal wear or White Glove Society dress, you may lose the option to tell her to go to the Lucky 38. [verified]
- Xbox 360 Sometimes, when equipping Brotherhood power armor even outside of Hidden Valley, Veronica will become angered and accuse you of fighting the Brotherhood. [verified]
- Xbox 360 If you add lobotomite goggles to Veronica's inventory, she will remove her hood and not put the goggles on at all. She will still wear glasses and other head wear, however. [verified]
- Xbox 360 If you give Veronica either the Valence radii-accentuator or the Atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator she will appear bald, losing her hair texture.
- Xbox 360 Sometimes, Veronica's equipped weapon will disappear from her inventory when she is dismissed from your party. There is no way to get it back. This can be avoided by taking weapons from her before dismissing her. [verified]
- Playstation 3 When giving her an unarmed weapon, the "wrist" part may disappear, leaving only the part covering the hand visible. [verified]
- PC If Lily and ED-E are followers she sometimes may act as a third follower after asking her to join. This applies to other human companions as well. [verified]
- PC Note that using the glitch above and then loading Old World Blues will cause her to follow you to Big MT. [verified]
- PC Sometimes, after leaving combat via fast travel, Veronica will still be in combat mode even when no enemies are around, rendering her unable to speak to you anymore. You can fix this by reentering combat.[verified]

Not all languages support java-like annotations or C#-like attributes or code metadata in general, however that doesn't mean it is not possible to have in languages that don't have this.
An example is PHP with Stubbles and the Doctrine annotation library.
My question is, is there anything like this for C?, or are there any reliable ways of doing reflection with extended code metadata in C?
Ideally, I'm looking for something that reads javadoc-like comments.
Edit: The reason for me *needing* as opposed to just wanting, is that I need to generate C code and code-metadata from a database, as well as being able to edit that metadada and update the database. The volume of the work (~15,000 variables/structures/functions to generate from this database) justifies the solution.

Tinospora cordifolia
• ]]>Allergic Rhinitis]]>
• ]]>Adaptogen]]>, ]]>Cancer Prevention]]>, ]]>Cancer Treatment Support]]>, ]]>Diabetes]]>, ]]>High Cholesterol]]>, ]]>Liver Protection]]>
The herb Tinospora cordifolia has a long history of use in ]]>Ayurvedic medicine]]> (the traditional medicine of India). It has been used to treat convalescence from severe illness, liver disease, arthritis, urinary problems, eye diseases, cancer, anemia, diabetes, and diarrhea. It is said to help remove toxins from the body, and on this baisis is often added to herbal formulas claimed to improve general health. Both the stem and the root are used medicinally.
What Is Tinospora cordifolia Used for Today?
According to some herbalists, tinospora has adaptogenic effects]]> , a term that indicates it helps the body adapt to stress. However, there is no meaningful evidence to support this claim. Only ]]>double-blind]]> , placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and the only such study performed on tinospora tested other effects.
In this study, 75 people with ]]>allergic rhinitis]]> (hayfever) were given either tinospora or placebo for 8 weeks. ]]>1]]> According to the investigators, use of tinospora significantly decreased every measured symptom of allergic rhinitis in the majority of participants; in comparison, use of placebo provided almost no benefit at all. These results may sound promising, but they are in fact so excessively dramatic as to raise doubts about the study's overall validity. It is unusual for so few benefits to be seen in the placebo group of a study on a treatment for allergic rhinitis, and it is nearly as unusual for almost universal benefits to be reported in the treatment group. Independent confirmation will be required to overcome the skepticism raised by these apparently "too good to be true" findings.
Besides anti-allergy effects, weak evidence hints that tinospora may have anti-cancer, ]]>2,3]]> immune stimulating, ]]>4]]> nerve cell protecting, ]]>5]]>]]>anti-diabetic]]> , ]]>6-9]]>]]>cholesterol-lowering]]> , ]]>8]]> and ]]>liver-protective]]>]]>10]]> actions. Tinospora has also shown some promise for decreasing the tissue damage caused by radiation ]]>11-13]]> , the side effects of some forms of ]]>chemotherapy]]> , ]]>14]]> and speeding healing of diabetic foot ulcers. ]]>16]]> However, all these findings are far too preliminary to be relied upon.
Safety Issues
Use of tinospora has not been associated with significant side effects. However, comprehensive safety testing has not been conducted. One animal study found evidence that use of tinospora might decrease male fertility. 15]]> Safety for pregnant or nursing women, young children, or individuals with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

Righty allows two runs, hurt by bottom of order in first start at Fenway
BOSTON -- Rangers pitcher Tanner Scheppers was better on Monday night at Fenway Park than he was on Opening Day. In his mind, it still wasn't good enough.
"For the most part I kept the ball on the ground and threw my offspeed pitches over for strikes," Scheppers said. "But I've got to go deeper in the game. Forcing the manager's hand in the fifth inning is not what a starting pitcher should do."
Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder has been about the same as he has been since Opening Day. But he is not concerned about his results.
"I'm right on track," Fielder said. "I'm right where I should be. You just have to go up there and do your best and see what you can do."
Two different perspectives -- one from a young pitcher trying to establish himself as a starter and the other from a veteran hitter trying to get untracked at the plate -- came on a night when the Rangers came up short against an aggressive John Lackey in a 5-1 loss to the Red Sox.
Scheppers was better than he was on Opening Day, but he couldn't match Lackey, who came out throwing one fastball after another. Past performances and a career 6.01 ERA against the Rangers didn't matter as Lackey held them to one unearned run in seven innings, allowing two walks and five hits. He threw 95 pitches, including 65 for strikes.
"Yeah, I definitely want to pound the strike zone," Lackey said. "I want them to know that I'm going to throw strikes. If you're going to get me, you'd better get me quick because I'm coming after you. It can work both ways. If you're not locating well, you can give it up pretty quick, too, that way. You've just got to try to continue to locate and hopefully the pitch count is down and hopefully you get deep into games."
The Rangers were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Fielder didn't get a chance to hit in those situations, but he was 0-for-4 at the plate and is 5-for-28 with one double and one RBI in his first seven games.
"Things aren't happening like he wants," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He's either a little ahead or a little behind in his timing. But he's Prince Fielder. I still believe in him."
Fielder is hardly the only Rangers player struggling at the plate. Since scoring 10 runs in their Opening Day loss, the Rangers are hitting .247 with 16 runs and a .318 slugging percentage while splitting their last six games. They have 10 extra base hits, including just one home run, in 198 at-bats.
"Obviously you want to get out of it," Fielder said. "Hopefully we can do better tomorrow."
Scheppers did a good job of holding down the Red Sox big hitters like David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia. It was the bottom of the order that did all the damage against Scheppers and three relievers.
The final three hitters in the Red Sox lineup -- A.J. Pierzynski, Jonathan Herrera and Jackie Bradley Jr. -- were a combined 7-for-10 with four runs scored and two RBIs. Bradley had a pair of run-scoring singles against Scheppers in the second and fourth innings. That had the Red Sox leading 2-1 when Scheppers left after five innings, having thrown 92 pitches. Scheppers allowed seven runs in four innings in his Opening Day start against the Phillies.
"He was in battle-mode from the first pitch," Washington said. "He did a good job against some pretty good hitters. They worked him pretty good but he was certainly better than the first time and we expect him to get better as we move forward."
The Rangers had a chance to tie it against Lackey in the seventh. Rios led off with a walk, stole second and went to third on Moreland's grounder to first. But Lackey got Donnie Murphy to pop up and after Leonys Martin walked, J.P. Arencibia grounded out to end the threat.
"Lackey showed why he is one of the best pitchers in the American League," Washington said. "He made us swing the bat. We had situations where we could have broken through, we just didn't get the base hit."
The Red Sox broke it open with three runs in the bottom of the eighth against reliever Seth Rosin. Again it was the bottom of the order as Pierzynski singled and Herrera walked. Bradley then dropped a bunt toward Fielder, who made a wild underhand throw to first base. That allowed Pierzynski to score from second with the first of three runs that inning.

For comparison, Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman scored 28 and 27, respectively. Stafford fell just shy of QB Wonderlic mavens Eli Manning (39) and Alex Smith (40). (Vince Young reportedly got a 6.) At wide receiver, Michael Crabtree only got a 15, Percy Harvin got a 12, and Darrius Heyward-Bey got a 14, while Jeremy Maclin snagged a 25. (Pat McInally, punter, wide receiver, and Harvard graduate is the only player confirmed to have scored a perfect 50.)
Apparently this puts Stafford in good company. According to Wonderlic, he has a high enough IQ for any number of professions besides pro quarterback:
Chemist: 31
Programmer: 29
Newswriter: 26
Sales: 24
Bank teller: 22
Clerical Worker: 21
Security Guard: 17
Warehouse: 15
But what does it all mean? Does the Wonderlic actually help predict who will be a good NFL quarterback? I previously discussed this question here. And, to see a visual representation of the average scores for each position in the NFL, see the chart below (hat tip Ben Fry):
So, while Stafford's 38 really jumps out, Crabtree's 15 doesn't seem all that bad. The interesting thing is what was noted in the original post: the closer you are to the ball, the higher your score.
But the question remains whether the Wonderlic is relevant at all. Indeed, Hall of Fame QBs Dan Marino and Terry Bradshaw did quite weak, both scoring a mere 15. Here's what I said previously:
Yet two anomalies do not disprove the notion. Charlie Wonderlic believes that "What the score does is help match training methods with a player's ability, [like the ability to understand] a playbook. [O]n the field, the higher the IQ, the greater the ability to understand and handle contingencies and make sound decisions on the fly."
I don't have a firm answer either way. I think there's nothing wrong with giving the test, and different teams appear to put varying degrees of emphasis on the test results. Some only care if a player scores extremely low or extremely high, while others take the test quite seriously. The image above clearly indicates it matters more or less depending on the position. Advanced NFL Stats has previously discussed studies that attempted to chart out QB performance as a function of their Wonderlic results. My guess is that the Wonderlic is a weak predictor in the same sense as the 40-yard dash, shuttle run, and the bench press: If you chart out performance with those combine statistics, although you will see a positive trend, it will be full of noise, will not give you predictions with high certainty, and counterexamples - like Dan Marino - will be abundant.

Project Gettysburg-León or FUPROSOMUNIC (Spanish acronym for Solar Program Foundation for Nicaraguan Women) holds two-week workshops that train primarily poor, rural women how to build and use their own solar oven. The workshop also explores the use of the solar ovens, solar dryers and solar methods of water purification to produce dried fruits and teas that to be sold at local markets. They have been able to offer the workshops with the support from Project Gettysburg-León (PGL), a Sister City project supporting sustainable development between Gettysburg, PA and León, Nicaragua.
In addition to giving participants basic carpentry skills, a safer, healthier and more ecological way of cooking, and income-generating opportunities, the trainings serve as encounter groups for the women to share and address personal and community concerns. For example, in the very poor community of Monte Horet outside León, where more than half the homes are little more than shacks with walls of plastic tarp and cardboard, all 10 of the women involved in a solar oven workshop overcame issues of past personal conflicts to build their ovens. Not only were the women surprised at what they could do, but so were the men in the community. They didn't think women were capable of doing such work!
As a result of the success of this training, with PGL's assistance, there are now two future projects planned – a second solar ovens workshop to build 10 more ovens in Monte Horet, and a fund to be established for the women in both workshops to purchase wood-conserving stoves as a complement to the solar ovens. PGL and FUPROSOMUNIC will donate half the costs of the wood-conserving stoves (priced approximately $100 each), with the other half paid by workshop participants through a group loan that will be paid back over 10 months.
PGL and FUPROSOMUNIC also sponsored a one-day event at LaSalle College in León, a technical school that focuses on alternative energy. Monte Horet "graduates" taught college faculty how to construct a solar oven to be displayed at the college's environmental fair, and the college staff were impressed with the community women's professionalism and exacting standards. For the women of Monte Horet, it was a tremendous boost to their self-esteem, as they had never imagined themselves as teachers to college professors!

- December 2017: Solar energy 'like light from heaven' for rural Nicaragua- At the economic edge of the tourist city of Granda, Nicaragua, workshop participants have spent the last week building substantial solar box cookers. As part of local program to update rural areas of Nicaragua, residents have been receiving photovoltaic systems and training on the use and construction of solar ovens. "People don't just learn how to build an oven here," says Mercedes Álvarez from Fuprosomunic (the Foundation of Nicaraguan Women Working on Solar Projects), who co-ordinates the project. "They talk about everything from nutrition to domestic abuse. This is how we stay together, we cook together". Read more...
- May 2013: The small Nicaraguan Women's Solar Project Foundation FUPROSOMUNIC has, since 2006, installed 664 solar cookers in nine municipalities. Solar cooking saves money, reduces deforestation, and is healthier for women than breathing wood smoke. The group focuses on providing the poorest of the poor with stoves discounted as much as 90%, thus requiring an investment on the part of the women of as low as US$20 paid over eight months. The stoves can save about $13USD in wood purchases monthly. The program has already received two awards and has been nominated for the prestigious Global Energy Award. Like other solar cooking programs such as Solar Cookers International, the women construct their own cookers and learn how to use and maintain them under the direction of FUPROSOMUNIC. Solar cookers are useful for other things besides cooking food such as drying fruit and medicinal plants, disinfecting clothing, and purifying water. Some of the women are using the stoves to dry nuts and other products to sell. The foundation was formed through Swiss aid in partnership with a Nicaraguan sociologist. The biggest obstacle for the program is to overcome the initial skepticism of the women. But some are won over by their ability to easily and cheaply prepare traditional dishes, such as came en bajo [a traditional dish based on cooked beef and vegetables], that normally require a great deal of firewood to cook properly. Cooking on cloudy days or after sunset can be done on improved charcoal cookers also promoted by the Foundation. These cookers are efficient and allow for frying, which the solar cooker does not. - The Nicaragua Newsletter
- January 2013: University graduate students head to Nicaragua to help FUPROSOMUNIC - The students are part of a four-person team that will be helping the Solar Program Foundation for Nicaraguan Women, which supports the country's rural women via solar cooking stoves, to develop a plan to support the organization's efforts to develop a commercial enterprise. This spring, the students will use the experiences and information gained over the winter break visit to develop a business plan and break-even analysis of the organization's newest venture in their Social Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets class.

Editorial Offices Night - PR - 4776 RI - 4111 Sta 227 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA United Press World Wide News Service Z-42 Volume XXIX I japan Reveals Los Angeles, California, Wednesday, November 17, 1937 Number 42 AMBASSADOR Nipponese Will Move China's Capital Back To Peking Afler War Copyright. 1937, by United Press. PEIPING. Nov. 16— <r.E>—Reliable Japanese told the United Press today that the central capital of China will be moved back to this ancient imperial city as soon as the Japanese army has occupied Nanking. Tlie Japanese already have restored the old name—Peiking—of this city and have begun repairing buildings used by former central Chinese governments. The move would be in line with precedents in Chinese history. The central capital of China was here for ccnturies until the Nationalist revolution which resulted in the rebuilding of Nanking. CAPITAL OFTEN CHANGED Drastic changes in the central government of China often have included a change in the capital city, as well as changes in the names of conquered cities, to impress on the minds of the Chinese people that a new era in their history is under way. Thus Chiang Kai-Shek changed the name of Peking—"northern capital" — to Peiping — "northern peace"—when he conquired the city nine years ago. Now the Japanese Hfce restored the name Peking and Intend to restore "the former glory'" of the city as the administrative, as well as the cultural and educational center of the nation. CERTAIN OF VICTORY They are absolutely certain they are going to win the war, that the mass of the Chinese people will accept indirect Japanese domination, end that they will be able to finance a vast program of improvements throughout North China which will ygreatly enhance the prosperity of this oountry—but they are not go-! ing to worry about details of the personnel of the new regime until ♦they are certain that aB organized Chinese resistance to them has been stopped. During weeks of covering the Chinese-Japanese war In the Yangtse valley, and later during a six weeks tour of Japan, Korea, Manchukuo, and North China, a United Press correspondent talked with scores erf Japanese, Chinese and Occidentals, who are in close touch with events, and found this general line of thought with regard to events when the active phases of the war are concluded: 1. The Japanese army will be the real organ of Japanese control in North China when the fighting ends. It will dictate the peace arrangements and already has framed the technique which it hopes will give lt control of all of North China In the future. * 2.

"America in a World Overshadowed by Tyranny" was announced as his topic by Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, dean of the Graduate School, yesterday. "Russian education is admirable as a whole, and is making rapid strides forward with an excellent quality of teacher training. ILLITERACY REDUCED "Russia's record in reducing illiteracy is undoubtedly the greatest in history but, as a commissar of education in Moscow told me, the education is completely Communis tic, is in the hands of the government, and is atheistic. Despite the great army, education is anti-militaristic. The army is but an army of defense," Dr. Harper said. The new Russian constitution, hailed as the most democratic in the world, marks only a technical advance, Dr. Harper asserts, as the people are still ruled by tyrannical power through terror. Dr. Harper'" believes Leon Trotsky is definitely out so far as Russia is concerned but thinks he is still influential in world affairs. TOURED WITH BYRD Dr. Harper, who has done graduate work at Harvard and the University of Chicago, formerly was on a lecture tour with Admiral Byrd. Emil Ludwig, and other prominent personages. He was formerly president of Evansville college in Indiana. Simpson college, a Methodist school at Indianola.

Scored Japanese Spokesman Describes Condemnation Of Tofcio As 'Laughable' BRUSSELS. Nov. 16—(U.P)— Japan's spokesman tonight described the far eastsrn peace conference's condemnation of Japan as "laughable" and intimated that any mediation to end the war in China would be entrusted to Germany and Italy. The spokesman said that the United States, Great Britain, and the other 13 powers which joined in branding Japan as an outlaw have "disqualified" themselves as future mediators in the far east. The defiant statement was another blow to the conference's ill-fated efforts and came at a moment when delegates, convinced that the United States congress will reject any proposal to "force" Japan to give up- her war, prepared to admit complete failure and go home. DECLARATION DENOUNCED The Japanese spokesman sarcastically referred to the portion of yesterday's conference declaration berating Japan as a treaty breaker. "Among the powers voting for this declaration are there not some nations who repudiate payment of their debts to the United States, despite solemn promises?" he asked. "In any event, it ls highly regrettable for these powers that they have not taken advantage of the passages in Japan's reply in which Japan carefully opened the way for good offices. As a result of the conference declaration, this way is now closed forever." The Japanese spokesman criticized the conference for enlisting Soviet Russia's aid in the declaration which opposed interference in the affairs of another nation. SOVIET RUSSIA SCORED "Is it not Soviet Russia who is always interfering in the internal affairs of other nations through the Third Internationale?" asked the spokesman. "Has not Soviet Russia in reality annexed outer Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan?" While the Japanese spokesman was attacking Russia, the chief U. S. delegate, Norman H. Davis, was conferring with Vladimir Potemkin, Soviet vice-commissar of foreign affairs, on Russian-United States relations. L.A.

"The fact that the best and most endurl.ig art in the world has been inspired by religion proves this. The reason for it is that religion rids the spirit of conflictive influences of fear and makes it conscious of a new freedom in which it can find true self-expression," he declared. The professor stated his belief that a wide understanding and close communication of ideals can .. be achieved through religion. The Neutrality expression of the higher emotions comes about naturally through this medium, he explained, and pointed out that reverence and respect for that which we think is greater than ourselves is the true source of religion. Millay will be read by Dr. Frank Baxter of the English department today in Bovard auditorium during the assembly period. Speaking of the poetess Dr. Baxter says, "She writes for the senses, as all poets do, but her intellectual pattern is always important. Her meanings are always deeply founded. significant, and. for the most part, clearly perceived by the reader. "RARELY WASTES TIME" "She rarely trifles, and rarely wastes her time on the merely decorative. She is tremendously alive, and (like a poet of the Italian or the English Renaissance) makes language throb with rhythm and color and warmth—and come alive again." Edna St. Vincent Millay w'as bom in Rockland, Maine, in 1892. and was educated at Barnard college and Vassar. Her first book, "Renascence and Other Poems," was published in 1917. AWARDED PULITZER PRIZE She was awarded the Pulitzer prize for poetry in 1923 with "The Harp-Weaver." Her sonnets, of all her writings, have received highest praise. She prefers to write that form. In 1923 she married Eugen Jan Boissevain, an importer, and moved to a farm in the Berkshires, where she has spent much of her time since. ball players, and coaches of Pacific coast conference. Gov. Frank Merriam, Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, Robert Sproul, president o{ the University of California, and Provost Earle Hedrick of U.C.L.A., will be among the speakers of the evening.

Student judges will be Carol Teigs and Kathleen Schneider, short stories; Madelyn Miller and Constance Kelly, essays; Marge Cha-lcupka, poems; and Audrey Adams, chairman. BUILT AROUND APHORISM In commenting yesterday upon his lecture. Dr. Long explained that the it will be built around an aphorism from Francis Bacon's "Advancement of Learning." Men even as far back as Confucius recognized the far-reaching effect of errors that creep into human thinking as a result of words. Dr. Long declared. He related the incident concerning Confucius who. when asked what the first thing he would do if he were made prime minister, answered that he would "make words right." Further commenting on the "subtle and insidious power of language," Dr. Long stated: LANGUAGE CORRUPTS MINDS "It corrupts scientific and political minds alike and casts a net of Hlusion over the whole world of the mind and tends to enslave us to our own creation—words." Dr. Long is a graduate of U.S.C., receiving his A.B. here in 1916. After serving overseas in the World war, he earned his A.M. here in 1921. At Harvard university a M.A. was conferred upon him in 1922, followed by a Ph.D. in 1927. Since 1920, Dr. Long has been teaching at U.S.C. He was visiting professor at the National University and the California college in China in the scholastic year 1930-1931. Last summer he taught in the summer session of Boston university.

Other candidates for the award were the Nansen bureau of Geneva, dealing in peace propaganda, and Lord Robert Cecil, internationally-known British statesman, who is now in the United States. The Swedish press has been supporting the candidacy of the Nansen bureau. The peace prize has been given to institutions on. several occasions, the first time in 1904 when it'went to the French Institute of Rights. Later is was given to the International Bureau for Peace in Berlin and to the International Red Cross bureau in Gen- Haydn's concerto for the violoncello and Debussy's composition, "The Sea," will*be played in answer to requests on the Listening Hour program today at 3 o'clock in Bovard auditorium. In commenting upon the selections chosen for the weekly concert, Professor Pauline Alderm n, director of the Listening Hour, encouraged students and faculty members to request musical selections which they would like to have played on the programs. The violoncello concerto was written by Haydn while the cello was a comparatively new instrument. Although the original complete orchestral score has been lost, the composition is divided into three parts, allegro, lento, and vivace. Debussy's symphonic poem, "The Sea," was written partially as a result of the composer's early training as a sailor. The titles of the different parts of the composition indicate the love of the musician for the changing moods of the wind and the waves. "From Dawn Till Morn on the Sea." "Sport of the Waves," and "Dialogue Between the Wind and the Sea." will be played on the program today. In a letter to his publisher during the time he was composing "The Sea,'' Debussy said that the music was based upon his memories and upon his love for the ocean rather than upon reality. Haydn's concerto, in contrast, is nationalistic in quality and incorporates the folk Assembly Scheduled For Friday , Tl -/ 7-3/- I Hohonng the Trojan debate teams that were victorious in the recent West Coast Forensic tournament at Bakersfield, a special all-university assembly will take place Friday morning in Bovard.

The story of an innocent black teenager being beaten to death on Chicago's streets is resonating online.
Unknown in life to the world last week, Derrion Albert, with an assist from national media coverage, has become in death a top trending topic on Twitter.
The tweets are largely outpourings of grief and exclamations of disgust.
"RIP Derrion Albert. What a life wasted. Parents, Community, All of us need 2 stand up against this sh*t. Too many ppl r dying 4 nothing," reads a tweet from Chris_POV.
"finally saw that vid of derrion albert getting beat to death," reads another. "nobody should die like that. so damn sad and disgusting."
Jae_B: "so senseless...rip derrion albert...i didn't know you at all, but your death proved to be so pointless...may you find refuge in gods hands."
Cammers grieved on YouTube as well.
"At some point, we as men in our communities have to put our foot down, man," said a user named tahirjahi, in what was a common theme among commenters. "These things happen in poor communities, but they spread, like crack and gun violence."
The media buzz around Derrion's death has also contributed to the rise of another trending topic, #stoptheviolence.
But despite the global attention Twitter provides, the grievers also admitted a sense of powerlessness against random violence.
That helplessness was perhaps best summed up by a tweet from TheOnlyFTG:
"Ok so we make #DerrionAlbert a top trending topic..And then what?"

SH said:It's been my experience that if you're playing BS, no matter how much of a novice table you're at, they pick up on the fact that you know what you're doing and don't really squawk too much. After a while you can even couint on it -- when somebody gets a "tweener" decision, all eyes at the table will shoot at you, as if to say "What should he do." What amazes me is how many people really don't know how to play even though, from talking to them, they're no strangers to the casino.
But I'm dead-solid convinced (see my Crazy Night posting) that bad plays have no effect on your game.
Mike said:
Having said that, can your own occasional bad play have that much affect on your own game?
Nickels_n_Bullets said:I've noticed that a few here are posting 12 vs. 4...
Please!, there is ONE correct "12", and thats 10-2 vs. a dealer 4.
The 9-3, 8-4, and 7-5 are all STAND. 6-6 SPLITS.
When you play 8 decks, ALL 12's STAND vs. dealer 4. But with 6 or fewer decks it is CORRECT basic strategy to HIT 10-2 vs. dealer 4. None of the other 12's, just the 10-2.

D said:I came home and looked up this thread because of something that happened to me last night. I was at 3rd base and hit a 12 vs. 3 (appropriate because of Basic Strategy AND the count), busted with a ten and of course the dealer makes a 20 with a hit. A "gentleman" at the table, who was betting black and losing, jumped up, yelled and started around the table at me!!! I was the only lady at the table and the REAL gentleman that was sitting next to me stood up and stopped him. The dealer had to call security!!!! The dealer said that this guy had to be escorted out another time, but that still didn't make me feel better at the time. I was having a really good night even though I wasn't getting a lot of good counts, so I hadn't been playing oddly or sporatically up to that point. I'll probably always scan the table before I hit that 12 again.

When you make some of the Mag 7 plays it also causes comment. I usually say I know this is wrong,but I have a hunch. Had a few get a little sore. I just say blackjack is not a team sport. Never had any real trouble.

I was helping my friend, Kim, at The Tomkat Studio, find a new personal assistant (she hired one of our old babysitters), as her business is skyrocketing. She happened to mention that she needed four-year olds for an upcoming photoshoot that will be appearing on HGTV.com. Would my Charlotte be interested in decorating some cupcakes for the shoot?
Gee, I don't know...YES. We will be there, I told her, just so long as it's not before 9:00am. (The last photoshoot we did with Kim was at 5:00am.)
{{I am allergic to early mornings}}.
Luckily it happened to be at 9:00am. Charlotte was shy around the other girls at first but then buddied right up.
I'm so happy for Kim's exploding business--but not as nearly as happy as I was to get to keep Charlotte's apron and black/white flower, plus half a dozen cupcakes plus three new punches so I can actually punch out some cupcake toppers from Kim's website!
Which should indeed advance my craftiness.
I did happen to mention that if someone actually marketed most of the things involved in this party (black/white polka dot favor boxes, cupcake liners, toppers, a basic pennant banner, maybe some aprons, and some cute cupcake decorating supplies) in one single package, I would be A LOT more likely to host a party like this for my kiddos. Kim said she's working on it...
Although, [should I say this?]: Kids really don't care about the fluff and stuff, it's mostly for the moms.
{yes, I was just struck by lightning}.
OH, and don't forget to enter to win the giveaway on Kim's blog--it ends Thursday...

Thirteen deaths over the past four years have been linked to the popular caffeinated drink 5-Hour Energy, according to the FDA. The company that distributes the drink says its product is safe when used as directed. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
Federal officials are looking into reports of 13 deaths possibly connected to 5-Hour Energy, a liquid "shot" that contains caffeine and other compounds, the New York Times reported on Thursday. But the reports, which track cases since 2009, don't show how the drinks could have caused the deaths and there's no evidence the products are harmful.
The Food and Drug Administration, however, is investigating energy drinks, especially those containing caffeine. The agency is under extra pressure after the parents of a 14-year-old Maryland girl sued the company that makes Monster Energy Drink last month, saying caffeine in the drinks killed her. The autopsy report attributed her death to "cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity."
The FDA receives the reports under its adverse events reporting system. This system doesn't necessarily show that a food or drug caused a problem. People can file an adverse event report if, for instance, someone has a heart attack after taking a drug or getting a vaccination. The two events could be coincidental, and often are.
5-Hour Energy contains about 207 milligrams of caffeine, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, about the amount in two 8-ounce cups of coffee. It also contains vitamins and amino acids, such as taurine. Commonly reported side effects from energy drinks include insomnia, headache and rapid heart beat.
5-Hour Energy
5-Hour Energy contains about 215 milligrams of caffeine, about the amount in two 8-ounce cups of coffee.
Since 2009, 5-Hour Energy has been mentioned in about 90 reports sent to FDA, the New York Times reports. Anyone can send an adverse event report to the FDA, and in 2010, more than 670,000 such reports were filed, the agency's website shows.
The FDA has classified caffeine as "generally recognized as safe", meaning it doesn't require any more review for approval. Medical research suggests it takes as much as 10,000 mg of caffeine to kill a person, although there is not a lot of study on the subject.
In response to an FDA report investigating a link between a popular energy drink and five recent deaths, Consumer Reports launched its own investigation, and found that some of the drinks actually had 20 percent more caffeine than listed, and many of the products don't list levels at all. NBC's Tom Costello reports.

In response to Unwilling to Work; 25% in Hale County AL Collect Disability, 14 Million Nationwide; A Simple Solution I received some interesting emails from readers.
Regardless of Insurance, Taxpayers Pay
Reader Chris writes
Hey Mish,
I have been discussing disability for quite some time with others. I know a few people on disability who should not be qualified. I also have one good friend who is on disability for back problems. He had several surgeries and is genuinely disabled. The interesting part is my friend paid for his own insurance for 25+ years and the minute that he was declared unable to work, a lawyer saw to it that he would go on SS benefits. The insurance company collected premiums for 25+ years and now the government (taxpayers) pay.
Discussion on Radio Station KMJ
I was on radio station KMJ in Fresno, California for 45 minutes on Friday discussing my post on disability. Mike, a disabled worker was kind enough to share his thoughts. Mike writes …
Hello Mish
I just heard you on KMJ and agree with what you have said. I am a disabled person working in the social services system, I will soon be retiring due to stress related problems. I would like to keep working at another position with less stress but many of my friends think I am stupid for wanting to work instead of taking social security.
Time to Wave the White Flag
Reader Claudette, writes …
Hello Mish
Thanks for a good post on a complex issue. SSI/SSDI comes from social security funds, making that program even less sustainable over time.
I also see those who are truly disabled and unable to be competitively employed…they are being sustained in poverty by this program because of the sheer numbers in the program.
Multiple disincentives are built into the system to getting a job for fear of losing your stable disability check and Medicare coverage, so that it is very hard for the state Vocational Rehab system (where I work) to get disability recipients back to work.
There are few entry level jobs that pay enough or have benefits adequate for the recipients to take the risk of leaving the safe harbor of Disability.
Let's just raise a white flag and admit that the "war on poverty" has been lost and look critically at how our programs sustain people in poverty rather than lift them out of it.
Thanks all. Yes, it is time to raise the white flag. Many of these programs are structured to keep people on disability rather than get them off disability.
Reader mike shows the pressure on the few who really do not want to take advantage of the system.
