Serial health care misinformer McCaughey now misleading about stimulus
Research ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
Betsy McCaughey -- best known for repeatedly misleading about health care reform -- made numerous false or misleading claims in order to attack the effectiveness of the stimulus bill.
McCaughey falsely suggests state aid, unemployment benefits, food stamps are not stimulative
McCaughey: Aid to states is "enabling spending-addicted politicians." From McCaughey's October 12 Newsmax column, also published at The American Spectator:
More than a third of the stimulus money spent thus far has gone to state and local governments. Some funds are used to expand Medicaid, unemployment benefits, and food assistance, while others are propping up state workforces and avoiding public school layoffs.
The stimulus funds are enabling spending-addicted politicians in states such as New York to avoid trimming budgets in response to lower tax revenues.
Economists agree that unemployment benefits, food assistance are stimulative. As Media Matters has previously documented, Congressional Budget Office (CBO) director Douglas Elmendorf has stated that "[t]ransfers to persons (for example, unemployment insurance and nutrition assistance) would ... have a significant impact on GDP," and economist Mark Zandi, who advised John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, has stated that "extending food stamps are [sic] the most effective ways to prime the economy's pump." Zandi's analysis indicates that a "Temporary Increase in Food Stamps" had the highest "Fiscal Economic Bank for the Buck" of any other potential stimulus provision he analyzed, providing a $1.73 increase in real GDP for every dollar spent, while "Extending [Unemployment Insurance] Benefits has the second highest, at $1.64.
Zandi: State aid boosts GDP by $1.36 for every dollar spent. In testimony given on July 24, 2008, before the House Committee on Small Business, Zandi noted that "General Aid to State Governments" would boost real GDP by $1.36 for every dollar spent. Zandi also testified to the benefits of providing aid to state governments, specifically in the form of expanding Medicaid funds:
Another economically potent stimulus is aid to financially-pressed state governments. This could take the form of general aid or a temporary increase in the Medicaid matching rate, to help ease the costs of health coverage. Such help appears unlikely in the current stimulus plan, but this could quickly change in coming weeks if the economy's problems grow more severe and widespread as the legislation is being fashioned.
Fiscal problems have already developed in half the nation's states. Tax revenue growth has slowed sharply with flagging retail sales and corporate profits. Income tax receipts are also sure to suffer as the job market weakens. California and Florida are under the most financial pressure, but states as far-flung as Arizona, Minnesota, and Maryland are also struggling.
As most state governments are required by their constitutions to quickly eliminate their deficits, most are already drawing up plans to cut funding for programs ranging from health care to education and cutting grants to local government. Local governments are having their own financial problems; most rely on property-tax revenues, which are slumping with house prices. Cuts in state and local government outlays are sure to become a substantial drag on the economy later this year and into 2009.
EPI: State aid "can help prevent" further economic downturn." In a January 11, 2008, report, the Economic Policy Institute noted:
During times of recession, state budgets are hit particularly hard. Reductions in tax receipts and cyclical increases in state spending put pressure on budgets -- and since most states have balanced budget requirements, they are forced to either reduce spending or increase taxes in times of decreased economic activity. These actions perversely add to economic troubles by decreasing the total demand for goods and services, and thus intensify a recession. As such, direct federal assistance to states can help prevent these outcomes and stimulate the economy. In the last recession, Congress provided $20 billion in aid to the states, split between general revenue sharing and a temporary increase in the federal match for Medicaid. The same kind of assistance should be provided to the states once again, with $30 billion split equally between a general block grant and an increase in the Medicaid match.
McCaughey cites claim that FDR's programs "did nothing to produce recovery"
McCaughey: Economists "lament that the Obama administration is making the same mistake" as Franklin Roosevelt. From McCaughey's column:
Economists who doubt that government spending can turn around a recession, and there are many who challenge that Keynesian notion, were not invited to the party.
If they had been, the range of guesstimates probably would have started with a negative number, suggesting jobs lost because of a delayed recovery.
These economists say FDR's spending programs did nothing to produce recovery during the Great Depression and lament that the Obama administration is making the same mistake.
Krugman: New Deal brought "real relief to most Americans," but Roosevelt was "reluctant to pursue an all-out fiscal expansion," "eager to return to conservative budget principles." In a November 10, 2008, New York Times column, Paul Krugman criticized "a whole intellectual industry, mainly operating out of right-wing think tanks, devoted to propagating the idea that F.D.R. actually made the Depression worse," stating:
The New Deal brought real relief to most Americans.
That said, F.D.R. did not, in fact, manage to engineer a full economic recovery during his first two terms. This failure is often cited as evidence against Keynesian economics, which says that increased public spending can get a stalled economy moving. But the definitive study of fiscal policy in the '30s, by the M.I.T. economist E. Cary Brown, reached a very different conclusion: fiscal stimulus was unsuccessful "not because it does not work, but because it was not tried."
This may seem hard to believe. The New Deal famously placed millions of Americans on the public payroll via the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps. To this day we drive on W.P.A.-built roads and send our children to W.P.A.-built schools. Didn't all these public works amount to a major fiscal stimulus?
Well, it wasn't as major as you might think. The effects of federal public works spending were largely offset by other factors, notably a large tax increase, enacted by Herbert Hoover, whose full effects weren't felt until his successor took office. Also, expansionary policy at the federal level was undercut by spending cuts and tax increases at the state and local level.
And F.D.R. wasn't just reluctant to pursue an all-out fiscal expansion -- he was eager to return to conservative budget principles. That eagerness almost destroyed his legacy. After winning a smashing election victory in 1936, the Roosevelt administration cut spending and raised taxes, precipitating an economic relapse that drove the unemployment rate back into double digits and led to a major defeat in the 1938 midterm elections.
What saved the economy, and the New Deal, was the enormous public works project known as World War II, which finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economy's needs
Baker: FDR "worried about the whining of the anti-stimulus crowd ... when the proper goal of fiscal policy should have been large deficits to stimulate the economy." In a January 6, 2008, column, Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, wrote: "In reality, any careful reading showed that the New Deal policies substantially ameliorated the effects of the Great Depression for tens of millions of people. The major economic failing of the New Deal was that President Roosevelt was not prepared to push the policies as far as necessary to fully lift the economy out of the Great Depression." Baker continued:
Roosevelt was too worried about the whining of the anti-stimulus crowd that he confronted. He remained concerned about balancing the budget when the proper goal of fiscal policy should have been large deficits to stimulate the economy. Roosevelt's policies substantially reduced the unemployment rate from the 25 percent peak when he first took office, but they did not get the unemployment rate back into single digits. [Alternet.org, 1/6/09]
DeLong: "[M]ore 'orthodox' economic policies" and attempt "to move the budget toward balance ... provide ample explanation of that downturn." In a November 17, 2008, post on his personal blog, University of California-Berkeley economics professor Brad DeLong wrote, "Private investment recovered in a very healthy fashion as Roosevelt's New Deal policies took effect. The interruption of the Roosevelt Recovery in 1937-1938 is, I think, wel [sic] understood: Roosevelt's decision to adopt more 'orthodox' economic policies and try to move the budget toward balance and the Federal Reserve's decision to contract the money supply by raising bank reserve requirements provide ample explanation of that downturn."
McCaughey suggests only "true believers" think stimulus created jobs -- but independent analysts agree
McCaughey attacks CBO estimate as made by "economists who claim government spending can produce recovery and job growth." McCaughey wrote:
Still, it's a far cry from 3.5 million. The Biden report claims that "in August 2010 the non-partisan CBO determined that the Recovery Act has raised employment by up to 3.3 million jobs." That is not what the CBO said.
The CBO could not "determine" such a thing, because the data do not exist.
Instead, the CBO called on economists who claim government spending can produce recovery and job growth to guesstimate, using their own theories and models, what the stimulus spending might yield in jobs. These true believers' guesstimates ranged from 1.4 million to 3.3 million more jobs in 2010 than if the law had not passed (with a cost-per-job of between $167,000 and $393,000).
Independent analysts agree that recovery act significantly raised employment. In its fourth quarterly report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) included figures from independent analyses that also credited the recovery act with increasing employment:
WSJ: 70 percent of economists surveyed said stimulus helped. The Wall Street Journal reported on March 12 that 38 of the 54 economists it surveyed "said the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act boosted growth and mitigated job losses, while six said the legislation had a net negative effect."
ABC News: Most on panel of economists "think the economy would be worse" without the stimulus. ABC News reported on February 18 that "most" of the economists on its panel "think the economy would be worse today without the big aid package, which totaled $787 billion and was signed into law by President Obama on Feb. 17, 2009."
NABE: 83 percent say stimulus raised GDP. A February survey of 203 members of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) found that "[e]ighty-three percent believe that GDP is currently higher than it would have been without the 2009 stimulus package (ARRA)."
USA Today: Surveyed economists said "stimulus package saved jobs." USA Today reported on January 25:
President Obama's stimulus package saved jobs -- but the government still needs to do more to breathe life into the economy, according to USA TODAY's quarterly survey of 50 economists.
Unemployment would have hit 10.8% -- higher than December's 10% rate -- without Obama's $787 billion stimulus program, according to the economists' median estimate. The difference would translate into another 1.2 million lost jobs.
McCaughey uses misleading calculation to call job numbers "the definition of wasteful"
McCaughey's "arithmetic": "Wasteful" stimulus spent "slightly less than $250,000 of taxpayers' money for each job created." From McCaughey's column:
Last week, Vice President Joe Biden declared the stimulus legislation a success. In Biden's latest report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of February 2009, the vice president boasts that it is on schedule to meet the goal of creating or "saving" 3.5 million jobs at a price tag of $787 billion.
Of course, The Washington Post fell for it, saying Biden's "report challenges public perceptions of the stimulus aid as slow-moving and wasteful."
Not if you do the arithmetic.
It works out to slightly less than $250,000 of taxpayers' money for each job created -- and most of the jobs are temporary.
That's the definition of wasteful.
McCaughey states later in her article that a CBO estimate of jobs created by the stimulus did not include "jobs created indirectly by the projects," but she did not note whether this also applied to the Biden report, which has not yet been publicly released.
Not all stimulus money has been spent. The Washington Post reported that "By the end of September, the administration had spent 70 percent of the act's original $787 billion." Since not all money has been spent, McCaughey's estimate is misleading because it divides incomplete job numbers by the cost of the entire stimulus.
Calculation ignores other tangible benefits stemming from the package. In judging the package solely by dividing the Act's "price tag" by the number of jobs created or saved, McCaughey ignores other tangible benefits stemming from the package, such as infrastructure improvements and investments in education, health, and public safety. As Krugman and Baker have noted, such calculations also ignore that increased GDP caused by the package results in higher federal tax receipts, which, according to Baker, "should be subtracted from the cost to the taxpayers."
AP on similar calculation: "[M]ath is satisfyingly simple but highly misleading." In a November 2, 2009, "fact check" article, the AP reported that "divid[ing] the stimulus money spent so far by the estimated number of jobs saved or created" is "highly misleading" because that calculation "ignores the value of the work produced" and only includes jobs produced "to date" from funds "that will fuel work for months or years":
Beware the math. Some Republican lawmakers critical of President Barack Obama's stimulus package are using grade-school arithmetic to size up costs and consequences of all that spending. The math is satisfyingly simple but highly misleading.
It goes like this: Divide the stimulus money spent so far by the estimated number of jobs saved or created. That produces a rather frightening figure on how much money taxpayers are spending for each job.
On Friday, the White House released estimates that $160 billion in stimulus spending created or preserved 650,000 direct jobs.
By the critics' calculations, that's over $246,000 a job -- and a terrible deal for taxpayers. Why spend nearly $250,000 to employ a highway worker or a teacher making a small fraction of that?
The reality is more complex.
First, the naysayers' calculations ignore the value of the work produced.
Any cost-per-job figure pays not just for the worker, but for material, supplies and that worker's output -- a portion of a road paved, patients treated in a health clinic, goods shipped from a factory floor, railroad tracks laid.
Second, critics are counting the total cost of contracts that will fuel work for months or years and dividing that by the number of jobs produced only to date.
A construction project, for one, may only require a few engineers to get going, with the work force to swell as ground is broken and building accelerates.
Hundreds of such projects have been on the books, in which the full value of the contracts is already counted in the spending totals, but few or no jobs have been reported yet because the work is only getting started.
To flip the equation politically, it's as if the 10-year cost of George W. Bush's big tax cuts were compared with the benefits to the economy that only accrued during the first year.
Third, the package approved by Congress is aimed at more than direct job creation, although employment was certainly central to its promotion and purpose.
Its features include money for research, training, plant equipment, extended unemployment benefits, credit assistance for businesses and more -- spending meant to pay off over time but impossible to judge in a short-term job formula.
McCaughey is a serial misinformer
McCaughey repeatedly promoted misleading claims about health care reform. Media Matters for America named McCaughey its 2009 Health Care Misinformer of the Year for her relentlessly attacks on health care reform: McCaughey spread falsehoods and distortions through opinion pieces and television appearances - particularly at News Corp.-owned outlets such as Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post -- at nearly every stage of the debate. McCaughey falsely claimed that the health care reform bill would promote euthanasia of seniors, launched false attacks against health care policy adviser, Ezekiel Emanuel, and distorted numerous other provisions of the bill. In September, McCaughey teamed up with Newsmax to launch similar misleading attacks on health care reform.

In OT, Deflating Caps Take Another Lancing
'"We always find a way to lose," winger Jaromir Jagr said. "Bad breaks . . . in overtime. Bad bounces.

But even when we get the lead it's like we start thinking they will score."'

I have a very eager, extroverted and dominant student. This is great, but he has a bad habit of asking questions which are off topic and they often need an entire lesson to cover them properly. Is it acceptable for me to tell him that I will come back to him after class or promise to prepare a lesson on the subject he wants to discuss? I do always try to briefly attend to his questions, but that often leads to more questions and the next thing you know 45 minutes have passed. I find it quite disruptive and the other students lose focus. A couple of the other students have complained about him. I should probably have a private chat with him after class, but I don't want to say anything that will dampen his enthusiasm. If I don't deal with it now, though, I'll soon lose my temper because it's quite irritating. He also likes to argue and is always comparing American English to British English and often blurts out the difference in pronunciation. He also uses a lot of slang, which the other students don't always understand and it has to be explained. I speak Standard English with Received Pronunciation. He thinks my accent is strange and sometimes laughs at me. He's used to hearing American accents, I suppose.
He's on the right level, according to the results of his placement test.


text: For 9mm, i would reccomend the sig sauer p226 combat TB and the p226 Elite Dark Threaded Barrel both have threaded barrels and rails. As for the .45, the sig sauer p220 Elite Dark TB and p220 combat TB both have threaded barrels and rails. In addition to having the features that you want they are in my opinion some of the best handguns ever to be made in terms of reliability, ergonomics, and functionality and are very easy to shoot accurately right out of the box. They do cost quite a bit more than the springfield XD or XDm but you are getting a truly superior weapon IMHO.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
In the early 1900's, America was in danger of losing many of its wildlife species. Destruction and loss of habitat, industrialization and overexploitation of certain animals resulted in a major decline of many species including the white-tailed deer and eastern wild turkey. Facing this threat, hunters, the sport hunting industry and other conservationists joined together in supporting legislation to develop the Wildlife Restoration Program of 1937. This legislation is often referred to as the Pittman-Robertson Act.
Hunting and target shooting purchases have supported wildlife conservation for over half a century. The Wildlife Restoration Program is funded with money received from taxes on the sale of sporting guns and ammunition. In the 1970's, tax receipts from the sale of handguns and archery equipment were added to the Program fund. As a result, over four billion dollars have been generated for wildlife conservation.
More than 45 million acres of land funded by the Wildlife Restoration Program are maintained for wildlife across the country. The Pittman Robertson Act funds essential research by more than 25,000 professional wildlife biologists nationwide. The program also supports the training of more than 750,000 people annually in firearms and archery safety. In addition, hundreds of public shooting ranges have been built with Program dollars. Hunters and shooters have been investing in the future of America's wildlife since 1937.
Many hunters (particularly "baby-boomers") grew up hunting rabbits, squirrels and quail. There were few big game hunting opportunities available during the 1950's - 1970's. In the 1970's, deer herds were small, but growing, and turkey populations didn't increase significantly until the 1980's. Thus small game species provided most of the hunting opportunity.
As the deer and turkey populations grew, small game populations declined. Hunting leases became more popular and interest in small game hunting declined. Declining populations of quail and rabbits as a result of habitat loss coupled with reduced access for hunting small game, resulted in a tremendous decline of quail and rabbit hunters. Dove hunting has continued to remain popular during this period. Squirrel hunting has declined but not as much as quail or rabbit hunting.
Whether you enjoy hunting quail with a fine English setter, treeing a squirrel with a Jack Russell terrier or listening to a pack of beagles trail a rabbit, small game hunting is special. For most of us, it means quality time spent with our family or friends. Hunting is not just recreation. Research has indicated that there is something much deeper. Hunting is an important social and psychological activity for hunters (Wildlife and the American Mind, 1998).
Aldo Leopold stated in his 1949 essay, "Goose Music" that "It is not merely an acquired taste: the instinct that finds delight in the sight and pursuit of game is bred into the very fiber of the race. Golf is sophisticated exercise, but the love of hunting is almost a psychological characteristic. A man may not care for golf and still be human. But the man who does not like to see, hunt, photograph, or otherwise outwit birds or animals is hardly normal. He is supercivilized, and I for one do not know how to deal with him. We are dealing therefore with some thing that lies very deep."
The Wildlife Restoration success stories for big game, including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, Rocky Mountain elk and pronghorn antelope, have been outstanding. However, some small game species such as rabbits and particularly quail have experienced dramatic population declines during the past 40 years. The declines are primarily the result of habitat loss.
The following chapters on small game species discuss the biology, habitats and management needed to assist interested landowners and managers in creating good small game habitat on the properties they manage.

Piug....wiffed in the HR derby and two K's...haha
Dang, 2 for 2.....if Miggy had knocked him in, we could have had a case of shared MVP....if the score held up of course.
Looks like I was way off on JV's All-Star plans for coming back rested in the 2nd half.... Kate Upton reveals tan lines on bikini break with on-again boyfriend Justin Verlander in Mexico | Mail Online
Based on his performance on Sunday, Kate must have text him a picture of herself between the 6th and 7th innings saying hurry and get down here "baby". The paparazzi could never get that many pictures and that close.....Jimmy Leyland must have been down there as their special guest with his camera and cigarettes.... Either way he probably won't pitch again until Sunday or Monday, so hopefully he is fully rested and has his strength by then....
As long as it was a mug shot. Kate has let herself go...
A lot of baby fat ...which explains why she has been critical of her body lately....
Makes sense that she's dating him through his slump.
Well if she's a slump buster ?
She's definitely a 'forum' buster!!! Is this what yall talk about over beers in sports bars too?? LOL
So did J.Hamilton win the Allstar game ? What's he worth now Skoo ?
i no get it........
indians send up a pinch hitter Raburn to face Krol and Ausmus doesnt take Krol out...he's got that bad Leyland habit of being too loyal..PLAY THE PERCENTAGE, BRAD! 3-3 tie in the 7th as Sanchez shows why he's a number 3 blowing a 3 run lead
Anibel ran out of steam...similar to JV before the break....6 really strong innings and then nothing in the tank for the 7th.
Go get Soria and Benoit , Dombroski...Time to clean house with this bullpen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF WE had a lights out pen, I would have taken him out after walking Santana!!
I was just telling Mrs. Dre I hope both those 3 runs and Anibel's stamina holds up through 8.....He has a hard time getting past the seventh.....that's why I said come playoff time he would be my long reliever and I would go with Rick, Max and JV and let him either be my closer or long relief man. He has only been past 7 innings once or twice this season because he folds after six. This was suppose to be a nice weekend of rested Tiger pitchers and a sweep at home..... Oh well, let me get outside and trim the hedges................since that darn gardner didn't do it yesterday %#$^*^%#
* Improbable...
i said "i would"..not "they would".....
gardner?....isnt he quarterbacking Michigan????
* that was understood

Please join the conversation!
Any moms of many have words of advice for me? Just found out we are pregnant with baby #6. We have amazing kids and a great marriage and are financial doing fine. It is just emotionally overwhelming now with morning sickness and all the other responsibilities. I just wasn't expecting to be expecting so soon. We followed Marquette and this is the 3rd baby we have attempting to avoid using the system. I am a high mucus person and obviously very fertile (despite 4 miscarriages early on!). I jsut didn't think while still breastfeeding and using marquette I would be pregnant again at almost 41! i just worry about my husband and our mental stress. With so many kids, we will never retire. It is so much work all the time and I am tired. Can i be a good mother to all of them with each of their issues and personalities? And mostly I am worried about resuming relations after this baby. We are just so in love with each other and feel we need to be together to connect. Abstinence is extremely difficult when we want to be connected. And yes sometimes relieve some of the stress of our lives by being comforted in each others arms.
Hmm, I feel for you--number 7is 5 months old and I (just) turned 44 and I have felt many of the same feelings! When I got pregnant with #7 someone (I think Jennifer Aniston but I don't follow celebs really closely) got pregnant too and headlines were "Miracle Baby." I googled the article and it said that less then 3% of people get pregnant naturally at 43 yo. I said "Hah! I always knew I was exceptional!" Seriously though we are currently trying very had to avoid and using a combination of Marquette Clear Blue and Creighton model . . . basically whichever is more conservative. This is the first time we have been serious about avoiding (given that #1 was 8 when #7 was born this is kind of obvious). Having said all that I don't think you will be as attentive to each child as you would if you only had 2 or three. However given the amount of attention my kids give each other I think individually they all get more attention then many kids from smaller families. I know that my "big" kids have more responsibilities then most (not all) kids from smaller families and I think this is really good for them. They know how to act with younger kids and they are able to use their imaginations to entertain themselves and others--all good things. Am I tired--oh yeah! Stressed--probably more then I like! Worried about relations--yep that too. Don't know that I have said anything to help you other then basically saying you aren't alone . . . if you want to talk let me know and maybe we could chat in real time sometime.
I'm just about due with #4 and seriously don't want any more kids!! I don't know how I'm supposed to stay open to life when I just want over with!!! Catholic? Check! NFP user? Check! Faithful to the Church teaching? Check? Seriously resentful of it? Check! I feel as though I'm emotionally and spiritually blackmailed into a life I can't cope with. I'm jealous if women who can say "we're done" and start moving on to other phases in their lives. I suppose I need some serious prayer time to hopefully lift these feelings away...
It's easy to see the greener grass. It's human nature. I've seen the other side of a woman in sorrow because she wanted more children but had her tubes tied 11 years earlier & couldn't afford a reversal. I've thought it must be nice to "know" "your done". But it is sad too. Every life is a gift & I don't think anyone on their deathbeds wish they had fewer children. Don't let your exhaustion & emotional state steal your peace from Christ & inner joy.
For Sad: A few thoughts. First, it is possible to be faithful to Catholic teaching and not have any more kids. The Church leaves it up to the couple and their individual circumstances to make the best decision for their marriage and their family. Some families are more stable (mentally, physically, financially, in terms of outside support, etc). Some families are not as stable, often through no fault of their own. That being said, don't stress out about the future of your family when you are about due with a baby! Though I'm sure you already know that and just can't override the feeling right now. The beauty of NFP (if it works well for you) is that you can always change your mind. Three or four years from now you may realize you miss the new baby smell, or you may realize that it IS time for you and your family to move on to other phases of life.
At Unknown: I'm not sure what you're going on about. No-one accused you of anything. I think maybe you've got a little confused??? The last 2 posts were directed at me. I hope that clears the air??!
@Sad, no worries, Jeanne has been busy hollering at people on every thread here ever since the forums got put up. She got in a lot of frequent-troller miles over at Faith & Family and is dedicatedly at it here too. Number of kids (she and her dh are unable to have any), stay-at-home moms, and living north of the Mason-Dixon line are kinda hot-button topics for her. Also cleaning b/c people in Florida are not so uptight as to need to sweep, scrub, or (in one memorable post) use napkins. :-) Just so you know, it's generally no use trying to talk sense to her.
Again? - I will pray for you....And your newest addition. This will get easier soon! Pray for patience and energy now. One of the most amazing women I know has 6 kids - yes, she is tired and stressed but the joy and love her large family has is well worth it. I hope you will be able to enjoy that in the next several years as your family matures, but I can't imagine how hard it is now. When my twins were 2months old, I remember saying "This isn't normal" I really felt despair over the situation I was in with 2 high needs infants. But, now, things are better and I can't imagine life without them. Trust in God's divine plan and his mercy.....
I was DONE at number 4, too. Done, done, done. I was chronically under sleeping, under eating and under pressure. I was ready to be snipped or let my dh go under the knife. But......after time, I learned to calm down. I learned to take things a bit easier. I learned that I cannot control everything, but I could go crazy trying. AND I am not blaming you for the way you feel! Feelings are a part of who we are. My feelings at that time were very real and very trying for me. I'm not trying to scare you here, either--I went on to have 4 more annoying, wonderful children. I'm still working on the letting go stuff. Some days I blow it. Most days I do well. (My "baby" is 7 now. What I wouldn't give for just one more! We've even talked about adoption. We have 2 grandchildren with a third making an appearance in March. And we will be marrying off another son in August. So much life!) My dad used to tell me to tie a knot in the end of my rope and hold on. A tired platitude, but I sure did! I'll be praying for you (and the kids will be, too) God Bless You!!
Rustom Second Day Collection ve for just one more! We've even talked about adoption. We have 2 grandchildren with a third making an appearance in March. And we will be marrying off another son

- Freaking Awesome Stack! Review by Dave
I have run two of these stacks back to back and had really great results. I leaned out but I also noticed a growth in my strength. After about two weeks I really noticed a huge difference in the increase in the weights I was throwing around.
I have just started another month of it and I can't wait for the gainzzz! Wish me luck (Posted on 1/11/14)
- Great stack Review by DoubleM
A few time ago, i decided to run a natural testosterone stack.
I´ve read a lot of reviews on internet and it seems this stack were one of the best ones.
I decided to try it and it was great!
I´ve run two stacks in row and i can say i feel the difference. My arms increased about 0.5" which is very good for me as i´m struggle to gain any mass. Strength raises too.
Only downside was Glycobol gives me some GI distress on first weeks that decreased after but that could be a good thing to whom want to lean.
Oh i almost forgot.. Libido increased a lot too which is always a good thing :) (Posted on 7/12/13)
- Awesome start!!! Review by Bob
I took advantage of the Black friday deals and bought AI's swole stack.
I have lifted weights and trained for a number of years but I always looked to try and get a advantage . I am a 47 year old male, when I started this trek my weight was a ridiculous 279 , I felt terrible and had no energy for doing anything but going to work, and eating good but not always the right things..... so I decided to start over and look into getting better shape. I started this stack back on Dec5th and so far due to my diet which is a macro of 40, 30 ,30 and working out 5 days a week I am happy to say I am on the right track, this stack gives me everything I am looking for in strength gains, pumps, and endurance.
My weight is down to 265 and I feel alot better. Thanks to AI . You have a customer for life!!!! I love the recovery pro also. (Posted on 12/30/11)
- Works Great Review by Justin
- Used this stack for the first time, i am very impressed. I really noticed result with-in the first couple weeks. This is will definitely be my go to stack when i want to put on lean muscle. (Posted on 11/14/11)
- Nice combo Review by John Smeton
- This three in one combo is a nice deal that combines Glycobol, Stoked, and Testopro. I had success with these when I was above maintenance calories(at 3600 calories), at maintenance at about 3000-3200, and when getting ready for a bodybuilding show 2500 calories. As for a general health supplement and muscle building it works just as good. I recommend any one looking to take their body to the next level try this stack; provided, diet is in check, training is good and consistent. the basics are down. (Posted on 9/28/11)
- This product really works! Review by Dominic
- I have been taking swole stack for two weeks now and am amazed with what has happened. I have used numerous products over the years and really never been happy with the results but this one is different! It cleans you out like nothing else and you can see and feel it working after just a few days its great. Thanks AIsportsnutrition and I am looking forward to trying other products! (Posted on 9/7/10)

Weekly Beauty Challenge: Brushing Up
Talk to any makeup artist and they'll tell you that the secret to getting a flawless face is really quite simple: It's all about the brushes. Brushes are the one beauty tool I never feel guilty about buying, because I know each one will be useful (case in point, it took me 3 tries to find the best angled liner brush to perfect my cat-eye, but I still use my other liner brushes to create different looks). And looking at these new Sephora Collection PRO Visionary Brushes, I definitely feel like there's one or two in the collection that I need to snag!
So for this week's Beauty Challenge, let's talk brushes. How many brushes do you own? Which ones are your favorite? Snap a pic of your brush collection and Show & Tell in the comments!
Shop brushes> http://seph.me/12H9UaO
I would be hard put to count all my brushes! I have a core set that I use everytime, but I got the Sephora Brush Belt plus brushes when it was on clearance, so I have a full set extra. It was such a great deal at $6 per brush that I couldn't pass it up. Probably around 50?
@prettyinpa - you got the brush belt? *jelly*. It really was a fantastic deal. I'd feel like a pro with all of those brushes on my hip (it's the very one some members of our PRO team use, actually).
I have way too many; Not counting my 15 piece MAC travel brush set (they have tiny handles & I only use them for traveling) I have at least 46. I'm in the process of moving so I'm sure there are some hiding somewhere in a bag or train case.
The brands range from MAC, Sephora, Laura Mercier, Chanel, Urban Decay, Bobbi Brown, Hourglass & Too Faced. It took me a LONG time to collect the brushes I have, but I love them all. I hoard eye brushes the most, even with spot cleaning after each use, those get dirty the quickest and I only deep clean every week (every other week if I'm really lazy).
I looooooove my makeup brushes! I'm so fickle though it seems like i find a new favorite once a month! Right now my favorite brush for finishing powder is Real Techniques Duo Fiber Limited Edition. It's perfect for a very light layer and I love the rounded shape.
My favorite eye brushes are probably my Smashbox Studio Pop eye brushes. The blending brush is lovely and fluffy, the smudger is perfect for powder liner, and the crease is small enough for my almost non-existent crease area.
Like prettyinpa, I got the Sephora brush belt when it was on clearance last summer. I love the angled blush brush from that set, it feels really soft and silky. I also really love the Pro Domed Blush Brush (which is the exact same shape as Real Techniques Blush Brush but natural).
@dannyc - You are so good and diligent about your brush cleaning! I am, sad to say...less so, lol.
@drrragon - Ok so I just bought the foundation brush that was in Daily Obsessions last week but now I want that Pro blush brush. I have a problem.
@candacebt -- lol! it's super plushy! it's been on clearance since they discontinued the old silver-handled Pro brushes, but I see them in Sephora sale/clearance sections every so often. Both online and in stores, come to think of it
but yeah, i know what you mean....i have to be careful about brushes because it's easy to buy too many!
p.s. i wonder if i had a cute, fuzzy pet, if i would stop buying so many makeup brushes!
I own 2 makeup brushes; one face brush and one eyeshadow brush. I don't wear makeup enough to have more brushes, but I wear it enough that I need some more. I just have no ideas on where to start and which brushes are better than others.
@drrragon - I have 3 dogs. The answer to that is NOPE.
@foxinthesnow - you've come to the right place! I recommend starting with a kit. It will give you most of the basic brushes you need for a great value. This one has all of your essential brushes in it (minus the blush brush).
@candacebt I have to be. I HATE deep cleaning, but spot cleaning cuts the time in 1/2. I've gotten plenty of cysts from waiting too long to deep clean. I also keep my brushes in mason jars divided by complexion, eyes, and face/finishing. I introduced a new jar into the mix "used". As soon as it's full it's time to deep clean.
I have 15 brushes (not including my mini travel set) and my absolute favorite is my Sephora collection classic mineral powder #45 brush
Ohh my goodness, I have a TON of brushes! Majority of them are variations of eye brushes, but I have a rather huge collection of face brushes too. My personal set has 3 tumbler cups full of brushes, maybe 40 or so... plus misc brushes that live in my makeup bag that I carry with me for on the go use or touch ups.I also have a separate set that I use for clients, which has roughly 30ish brushes. To be honest, I could probably dump a few that have poor quality, but I keep them around in case one of my favs is dirty. I may just have to replace a few with the new Sephora Collection PRO Visionary Brushes! I love the new line
xo, Mia
This is actually my favorite brush.
The Sephora Collection Face Complexion Brush
I'm really hoping to get a Clarisonic for Christmas this year.
But my collection is small and slowly growing since I am kinda just starting out. So far I have 28 brushes so far!
Edit: Almost forgot to post my brushes. lol
Surprisingly my brush collection probably just hits the 25 mark! Like Mia I have about an additional 10-15 brushes that are strictly for clients, but they all live in my brush belt for convenience. I'm usually very particular about brushes I use. Over the years I've picked up a few duds, so usually I don't stray too far away from my favorite brush brands. I LOVE the Sephora pro brushes. If I had to pick just one favorite from the collection I'd have to say the Pro Bronzer #48 .
I'm a bare minerals girl, so of course THIS brush is a staple in my makeup collection. I have two of these and a few variations. I use mineral blush, so a big fluffy brush is a total must for me.
I just bought THIS brush and it's in the mail now:
I got it to go with my new READY makeup
The concealer brush from Bareminerals
ANNND my amazing angled eye brush, which really helps create ANY eyeliner look just using wet eyeshadow
I have TONS of brushes for eyes and (way too many) for blush, haha. SPEAKING OF BRUSHES - I've been looking for a good brush cleaner - does anyone have any reccomendations?
@Apocalyptica - your brush cup is so cute! Makes me want a cupcake
@marydiva - I have a couple of bareminerals brushes too, and they are really good. I love the big face brush for powder.
Recently I've been using the Koh Gen Do brush cleaner (a little goes a looong way), but the Sephora one is good too, and I love that it comes in a spray bottle and is a great price.
Sephora Collection Brush Cleaner: http://seph.me/12K60hg
Koh Gen Do: http://seph.me/119BKZ8
The last time I counted I had 63. There is the combination of Dior, MAC, Bare Minerals, Chanel and Nars
I made a vow never to count again after I found out I had 150 lipticks, but I would imagine I would imagine I have at least 40 brushes, maybe more since I would have thought I only had 70 lipsticks before I counted. They are mostly Prescriptives, Chanel and Sephora Collection. Since I've worked for Sephora I have really come to love the brushes and are now the first ones I reach for.There are just so many different shapes and textures that I apparently need to own. I am loving the Pro Visionary brushes. Most of them are very uniquely shaped so I really don't have something like them already.
I've decided I HAVE to own:
Pro Visionary Face Blender Brush #134
Pro Visionary Highlighting Fan Brush #122
Pro Visionary Lash Fan Brush #220
Brushes are my new obsession----I have mostly ecotools and real techniques and a few MAC---I also have a few here and there's like urban decay, elf and Sephora collection. I just bought a flat top foundation brush from mac and I LOVE it! I can never have enough liquid foundation brushes--I hate cleaning them so its nice to have a few back up ones.
@ keely
that pro visionary brush 134...what is it supposed to do? I know it says blending but whats the difference with other blending brushes?
my fave brushes are
sephora brush # 55
nars yachiyo
chanel blending brush #7
suqqu l/m/f/s brush
nars botan
and real techniques blush brush
@Viviene23- The Pro Visionary Face Blender Brush is a great brush for contouring! It works especially well with cream blushes. It's the perfect shape that hugs the cheek bones and allows for smooth blending.

Keene film fest to expand into Monadnock area
Union Leader Correspondent | November 25. 2013 8:20PM
"When the festival was first created, it had always been designed as a regional festival. That's why it's not called the Keene Festival," said festival executive director Laina Barakat.
Additionally the festival is planning a local weekend, April 4-6, sponsored by Local Look Peterborough and Comcast.
In Peterborough, venues such as the Town House and Peterborough Community Theater and Harlow's Pub are expected to be used for screenings and gatherings that would focus on New Hampshire-made or local student-made films.

Kelly & Andrew
June 1
Fairfield, Connecticut
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Burr Homestead is a charming, sun-filled historic house (John Hancock got married there!) with majestic columns on the front porch, thick wooden floors panels, three fireplaces, and a festive mural. And the outside of the house was exactly what we wanted. It had a brick entry with green hedges, large side lawns with enormous oak trees, and a colorful garden with a pond in the back. It was a blank canvas for us to mold into the fun, backyard wedding that we wanted.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Two food trucks! We were so thrilled to have Caseus Cheese Truck (from New Haven) and Luke's Lobster Roll (from NYC) come to Fairfield for the cocktail hour. Lobster rolls are one of my favorite foods, and they were a big hit along with the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches!
2. Our wedding planner (Michelle Neff of Dreaming Tree Events) decorated the outside of the house with vintage pieces of furniture, yard games (custom-made bags and bocce) and Chinese lanterns. The lanterns, which were hung in the trees, reflected the afternoon spring light. I could not have imagined it would look so warm and inviting.
3. Family and friends are really important to us, and we wanted to incorporate their pictures inside the house. It took us a while to pick the ones we wanted to highlight but loved that we could include pictures of almost everyone at our wedding.
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
We had an incredibly hard time choosing our first dance song, but the one song we immediately agreed on was for the cake cutting. I don't know why, but "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show seemed like the most perfect song to play at that point in the night. The song meant so much to us, and we jumped right on the dance floor after we cut the cake. No one was paying too much attention to us at that point, and we really had a moment to ourselves singing and slow dancing to the song that really felt like "our" song.

Hyundai, Kia Must Provide More Answers to Senate About False MPG Claims

Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach their customers by December 14, 2012
Hyundai Motors Co. and Kia Motors are both in hot water
over exaggerated estimated gas mileage claims
, and the senate wants answers.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee who oversees auto issues, wants Hyundai and Kia to explain how it will reach and compensate its 900,000 customers after inflating its MPG claims.
So far, Hyundai and Kia have said they would reimburse customers and add a 15 percent premium by sending out debit cards that can be reloaded in the future. The automakers could spend over $100 million compensating for their exaggerations.
"While I believe this is a positive step, I am concerned that many affected customers may not learn about the program or may find it burdensome to participate in the program," said Rockefeller.
Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach these customers by December 14, 2012.
The Kia Soul got hit hard with the revised EPA ratings
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.
Some of the MPG window stickers that will require a change include the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Soul ECO. The Accent had its 30/40/33 (city/highway/combined) rating drop to 28/37/31. The Kia Soul ECO saw the biggest drop of any affected model going from 27/35/30 to 24/29/26.

"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling." -- Peter Moore, 24 hours before his Microsoft resignation

A Louisville law firm in conjunction with another firm in Paducah is hosting a town meeting Friday in West Point to discuss legal claims related to the Oct. 29 train derailment.
According to Jones Ward law office in Louisville, the meeting is open to all West Point area residents, business owners and local officials.
The meeting is scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at Music Ranch USA at 409 South St.
The Louisville law firm filed a class action lawsuit last week in Hardin Circuit Court on behalf of all those affected by the Paducah & Louisville Railway train derailment near the Hardin-Jefferson county line.

I am planning on planting a couple different units and can control the water, but I have some questions that I would appreciate a little advice with. Is it important that corn should be flooded up to the ears to really attract ducks? The same goes for milo, does the water level really need to be 3-4 feet? Should areas that can only hold 4-12 inches be planted with different types of millets instead of corn or milo?
Thanks for the help.

Category: Bruce Willis birth name
There was a time when it was de rigueur for performers to change their names—to anglicize those that they felt sounded too 'foreign' or to up the cuteness factor of their name (e.g. Alicia ? Jodie). This doesn't happen so much anymore (hat tip to you, Renee Zellweger and Zach Galifianakis)), unless you're talking about rock stars and rappers—we have to admit 50 Cent sounds more intriguing than Curtis, Ginuwine than Elgin, and Foxy Brown foxier than Inga.
But looking back at some of the switches made in the past, and in light of changing fashions and trends, a lot of the abandoned names now sound cooler –and often more sophisticated (Julia over Julie) –than their replacements. Here some celebrity names before and after:
Anne Rice— HOWARD Allen Frances O'Brien (Howard was her father's name — could her parents have been hoping for a son?)

Adapting to my Monster Power Outlets to Go
Chris Egner is a former writer for Crutchfield. She concentrated on point-and-shoot cameras and speakers while she worked here.
More from Chris Egner
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
You know the saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do?" Well, Romans plug their electronics into funky-looking jacks. I traveled there last week with my daughter, my friend, and her daughter. Between the four of us, we had a cell phone, our camera batteries, and our daughters' iPods and Nintendo DS games that we needed to recharge every couple of days.
To make that task easier, I took along a Monster Power Outlets to Go portable power strip. It fit in the palm of my hand, so it was a breeze to pack. It had six outlets (three on each side) spaced far enough apart to hold all our plugs simultaneously. We also took along a bunch of adapters, so we could plug the power strip into whatever weird European outlets we encountered.
It didn't dawn on me until too late that the Monster power strip had a three-pronged plug (grounded for safety — a good thing, really). Our adapters all had two-pronged outlets, so we couldn't plug the strip into any of them. Actually, you could easily run into this problem in the States. Two-pronged outlets are often found in not-so-modern buildings like boutique hotels, budget motels, or grandma's house.
Back at home, though, the power strip got a real workout. My kids and I plugged six things into it — some with three-pronged plugs, some with two. There was ample room even for huge, boxy-type AC adapters. The kids especially liked the glowing blue light that lets you know everything is getting powered up.
I could see my husband really liking one of these power strips, too. He travels often and always takes his phone, laptop, and iPod along. Hotels seem to have precious few available outlets, with most of them taken by TVs, lamps, and hair dryers. Hopefully he'll be luckier than I was, and he'll get to actually use the Monster power strip on his next trip. And I'll make sure he packs a three-pronged adapter, just in case.

CAR T Cell Receptor Immunotherapy Targeting Mesothelin for Patients With Metastatic Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy for treating patients with metastatic cancer that involves taking white blood cells from the patient, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, genetically modifying these specific cells with a type of virus (retrovirus) to attack only the tumor cells, and then giving the cells back to the patient. This type of therapy is called gene transfer. In this protocol, we are modifying the patient s white blood cells with a retrovirus that has the gene for anti-mesothelin incorporated in the retrovirus.
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe number of these cells to infuse and to see if these tumor fighting cells (anti-mesothelin cells) cause metastatic cancer tumors to shrink.
- Adults age 18-70 with metastatic cancer expressing the mesothelin molecule.
Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the NIH clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed
Leukapheresis: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo leukapheresis to obtain white blood cells to make the anti-mesothelin cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.}
Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the anti-mesothelin cells, and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment.
Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits will take up to 2 days.

Experimental: Single Arm
Patients will receive a nonmyeloablative but lymphocyte depleting preparative regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by IV infusion of anti-mesothelin CAR engineered PBL plus low dose IV aldesleukin.
Drug: Fludarabine
Fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day IVPB daily over 30 minutes for 5 days.Biological: Anti-mesothelin CAR
Patients will receive a nonmyeloablative but lymphocyte depleting preparative regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by IV infusion of anti-mesothelin CAR engineered PBL. On day 0, cells will be infused intravenously (i.v.) on the Patient Care Unit over 20 to 30 minutes (between one and four days after the last dose of fludarabine).Drug: Cycolphosphamide
Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/day X 2 days IV in 250 ml D5W over 1 hr.Drug: Aldesleukin
Aldesleukin (based on total body weight) 72,000 IU/kg IV over a period of 15 minutes approximately every eight hours (+/- 1 hour) beginning within 24 hours of cell infusion and continuing for up to 5 days (maximum of 15 doses).
Show Detailed Description
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 70 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Metastatic or unresectable measurable cancers that express mesothelin. As in other protocols conducted by Dr. Hassan in the NCI, epitheial mesotheliomas and pancreatic cancers do not need to be assessed for mesothelin expression since all of these tumors have been shown to express mesothelin. Other metastatic or unresectable cancers must be shown to expresses mesothelin as assessed by RT-PCR or immunohistochemistry on tumor tissue. Bi-phasic mesotheliomas must express mesothelin on greater than 50% of the cells in the epithelial component. Diagnosis will be confirmed by the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI.
- Patients must have previously received at least one systemic standard care (or effective salvage chemotherapy regimens) for metastatic or unresectable disease, if known to be effective for that disease, and have been either non-responders (progressive disease) or have recurred.
- Greater than or equal to 18 years of age and less than or equal to 70 years of age.
- Willing to sign a durable power of attorney
- Able to understand and sign the Informed Consent Document
- Clinical performance status of ECOG 0 or 1.
- Life expectancy of greater than three months.
- Patients of both genders must be willing to practice birth control from the time of enrollment on this study and for up to four months after treatment.
- Seronegative for HIV antibody. (The experimental treatment being evaluated in this protocol depends on an intact immune system. Patients who are HIV seropositive can have decreased immunecompetence and thus be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its toxicities.)
- Seronegative for hepatitis B antigen, and seronegative for hepatitis C antibody. If hepatitis C antibody test is positive, then patient must be tested for the presence of antigen by RT-PCR and be HCV RNA negative.
- Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test because of the potentially dangerous effects of the treatment on the fetus.
- Absolute neutrophil count greater than 1000/mm(3) without the support of filgrastim.
- WBC (> 3000/mm(3)).
- Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm(3).
- Hemoglobin greater than 8.0 g/dl.
- Serum ALT/AST less or equal to 2.5 times the upper limit of normal.
- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.6 mg/dl.
- Total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dl, except in patients with Gilbert s Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dl.
- More than four weeks must have elapsed since any prior systemic therapy at the time the patient receives the preparative regimen, and patients toxicities must have recovered to a grade 1 or less (except for toxicities such as alopecia or vitiligo).
Note: Patients may have undergone minor surgical procedures within the past 3 weeks, as long as all toxicities have recovered to grade 1 or less.
- Patients with sarcomatoid mesothelioma as mesothelin is not expressed in this type of mesothelioma.
- Women of child-bearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding because of the potentially dangerous effects of the treatment on the fetus or infant.
- Patients with known brain metastases.
- Patients receiving full dose anticoagulative therapy.
- Active systemic infections, coagulation disorders or other major medical illnesses of the cardiovascular, respiratory or immune system, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease.
- Any form of primary immunodeficiency (such as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease).
- Concurrent opportunistic infections (The experimental treatment being evaluated in this protocol depends on an intact immune system. Patients who have decreased immune competence may be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its toxicities).
- Patients with diabetic retinopathy.
- Concurrent Systemic steroid therapy.
- History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to any of the agents used in this study.
- History of coronary revascularization or ischemic symptoms.
Documented LVEF of less than or equal to 45% tested in patients with:
- Clinically significant atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias including but not limited to: atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, second or third degree heart block
- Age greater than or equal to 60 years old

Tee Martin
Martin's numbers from the national championship season are impressive. He completed 57.3 percent of his passes and threw for 2,164 yards. He tossed 19 touchdown passes against only six picks.
His career numbers include 326 completions, 4,592 passing yards and 32 touchdowns. He holds school records for completion percentage in a game as well as for consecutive completions in a game and in a season. He is sixth on Tennessee's career passing list, and his 2,317 yards from the 1999 campaign rank 10th on the school's single-season list.
Martin is perhaps best known for one pass in one game. His 79-yard strike to Peerless Price in the fourth quarter of the 1999 Fiesta Bowl vs. Florida State put the Vols up 20-7 and helped put the Seminoles away, securing the national crown for the Vols.

Reviews for Strawberry & Wine Sorbet
"Good ingredients, a little too much sugar for my taste. I altered the procedures by simply preparing fresh strawberries by cleaning, removing tops, cutting off bottom points where so many seeds are concentrated and then FREEZING the strawberries in plastic ziplock bags. This eliminates all the muss and fuss and, once the sugar syrup has cooled, simply blend the ingredients together for an instant slushy drink. Different wines can be substituted. Perfect for a hot weather cooler."
"Really good. Like a frozen daiquiri. Yummy"
"This was delicious, and so easy to make. It was a bit too sweet for me, so I think in the future I will cut down on the sugar and add more lemon juice. Maybe test out different wines, too"
"delicious and easy! I like to use strawberry sparkling wine to make it."
