[Posted 07/09/2015]
AUDIENCE: Health Professional, Consumer
ISSUE: FDA is strengthening an existing label warning that non-aspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke. Based on FDAs comprehensive review of new safety information, FDA is requiring updates to the drug labels of all prescription NSAIDs. As is the case with current prescription NSAID labels, the Drug Facts labels of over-the-counter (OTC) non-aspirin NSAIDs already contain information on heart attack and stroke risk. FDA will also request updates to the OTC non-aspirin NSAID Drug Facts labels. See the FDA Drug Safety Communication (Table 1) at: Web Sitefor a list of non-aspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug products.
Prescription NSAID labels will be revised to reflect the following information:
BACKGROUND:The risk of heart attack and stroke with NSAIDs, either of which can lead to death, was first described in 2005 in the Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions sections of the prescription drug labels. Since then, FDA reviewed a variety of new safety information on prescription and OTC NSAIDs, including observational studies, a large combined analysis of clinical trials, and other scientific publications. These studies were also discussed at a joint meeting of the Arthritis Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee held on February 10-11, 2014.
RECOMMENDATION: Patients and health care professionals should remain alert for heart-related side effects the entire time that NSAIDs are being taken. Patients taking NSAIDs should seek medical attention immediately if they experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or trouble breathing, weakness in one part or side of their body, or slurred speech.
For more information visit the FDA website at: Web Siteand Web Site.
People who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (other than aspirin) such as ibuprofen may have a higher risk of having a heart attack or a stroke than people who do not take these medications. These events may happen without warning and may cause death. This risk may be higher for people who take NSAIDs for a long time. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had heart disease, a heart attack, or a stroke;if you smoke;and if you have or have ever had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Get emergency medical help right away if you experience any of the following symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness in one part or side of the body, or slurred speech.
If you will be undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG; a type of heart surgery), you should not take ibuprofen right before or right after the surgery.
NSAIDs such as ibuprofen may cause ulcers, bleeding, or holes in the stomach or intestine. These problems may develop at any time during treatment, may happen without warning symptoms, and may cause death. The risk may be higher for people who take NSAIDs for a long time, are older in age, have poor health, or who drink three or more alcoholic drinks per day while taking ibuprofen. Tell your doctor if you take any of the following medications: anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin); aspirin; other NSAIDs such as ketoprofen (Orudis KT, Actron) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn); or oral steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexone), methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Deltasone). Also tell your doctor if you have or have ever had ulcers, bleeding in your stomach or intestines, or other bleeding disorders. If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop taking ibuprofen and call your doctor: stomach pain, heartburn, vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, blood in the stool, or black and tarry stools.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will monitor your symptoms carefully and will probably order certain tests to check your body's response to ibuprofen. Be sure to tell your doctor how you are feeling so that your doctor can prescribe the right amount of medication to treat your condition with the lowest risk of serious side effects.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with prescription ibuprofen and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website ( Web Site) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
Prescription ibuprofen is used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis (arthritis caused by a breakdown of the lining of the joints) and rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of the joints). It is also used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including menstrual pain (pain that happens before or during a menstrual period). Nonprescription ibuprofen is used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain from headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, menstrual periods, the common cold, toothaches, and backaches. Ibuprofen is in a class of medications called NSAIDs. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.
Prescription ibuprofen comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken three or four times a day for arthritis or every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. Nonprescription ibuprofen comes as a tablet, chewable tablet, suspension (liquid), and drops (concentrated liquid). Adults and children older than 12 years of age may usually take nonprescription ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain or fever. Children and infants may usually be given nonprescription ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours as needed for pain or fever, but should not be given more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Ibuprofen may be taken with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. If you are taking ibuprofen on a regular basis, you should take it at the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on the package or prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take ibuprofen exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than directed by the package label or prescribed by your doctor.
Ibuprofen comes alone and in combination with other medications. Some of these combination products are available by prescription only, and some of these combination products are available without a prescription and are used to treat cough and cold symptoms and other conditions. If your doctor has prescribed a medication that contains ibuprofen, you should be careful not to take any nonprescription medications that also contain ibuprofen.
If you are selecting a product to treat cough or cold symptoms, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on which product is best for you. Check nonprescription product labels carefully before using two or more products at the same time. These products may contain the same active ingredient(s) and taking them together could cause you to receive an overdose. This is especially important if you will be giving cough and cold medications to a child.
Nonprescription cough and cold combination products, including products that contain ibuprofen, can cause serious side effects or death in young children. Do not give these products to children younger than 4 years of age. If you give these products to children 4 to 11 years of age, use caution and follow the package directions carefully.
If you are giving ibuprofen or a combination product that contains ibuprofen to a child, read the package label carefully to be sure that it is the right product for a child of that age. Do not give ibuprofen products that are made for adults to children.
Before you give an ibuprofen product to a child, check the package label to find out how much medication the child should receive. Give the dose that matches the child's age on the chart. Ask the child's doctor if you don't know how much medication to give the child.
Shake the suspension and drops well before each use to mix the medication evenly. Use the measuring cup provided to measure each dose of the suspension, and use the dosing device provided to measure each dose of the drops.
The chewable tablets may cause a burning feeling in the mouth or throat. Take the chewable tablets with food or water.
Stop taking nonprescription ibuprofen and call your doctor if your symptoms get worse, you develop new or unexpected symptoms, the part of your body that was painful becomes red or swollen, your pain lasts for more than 10 days, or your fever lasts more than 3 days. Stop giving nonprescription ibuprofen to your child and call your child's doctor if your child does not start to feel better during the first 24 hours of treatment. Also stop giving nonprescription ibuprofen to your child and call your child's doctor if your child develops new symptoms, including redness or swelling on the painful part of his body, or if your child's pain or fever get worse or lasts longer than 3 days.
Do not give nonprescription ibuprofen to a child who has a sore throat that is severe or does not go away, or that comes along with fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting. Call the child's doctor right away, because these symptoms may be signs of a more serious condition.
Ibuprofen is also sometimes used to treat ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis that mainly affects the spine), gouty arthritis (joint pain caused by a build-up of certain substances in the joints), and psoriatic arthritis (arthritis that occurs with a long-lasting skin disease that causes scaling and swelling). Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this drug for your condition.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking ibuprofen,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
If you are taking ibuprofen on a regular basis, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Ibuprofen may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, or those mentioned in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, call your doctor immediately. Do not take any more ibuprofen until you speak to your doctor.
Ibuprofen may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdosage may include:
If you are taking prescription ibuprofen, do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Story highlights
- Much of premium class airline food is hand-prepared
- Gate Gourmet one of three airline catering facilities next to Hong Kong airport
- Company produces around 15,000 meals each day
Long gone are the days of ice sculptures and crepe suzette served up as a matter of course in first class cabins on airliners.
But what is presented to premium passengers can still rival some top hotels or restaurants, and can often act as a good barometer for the health of an airline's fortunes.
"When times get tough, food is one of the costs airlines can cut without jeopardizing safety," says Andreas Weber, general manager of airline catering company, Gate Gourmet.
"It has changed back and forth (over time); airlines go through crises," he says. "(Today) more airlines are investing substantially in their first and business class products. Making people comfortable in big seats, everyone is doing that already, but what is left is the catering experience."
Responsible for getting 15,000 meals a day onto planes departing Hong Kong International Airport, Gate Gourmet is well versed in meeting the demands of both airlines and passengers. It is one of three catering companies operating at the airport.
Erich Seifert, head of production at the facility that employs over 300 people, is often faced with demands for a particular meal for a first class customer at short notice.
"The customer is always right, we have to make it," he says, noting that special requests from airlines can come less than a couple of hours before a flight's departure.
Being able to react to last-minute requests for wagyu beef or whatever form the fancy of a passenger takes is down to a strict process -- from taking delivery of fresh ingredients in the morning to rolling out the meals on trolleys, all plated up on trays ready to be served on an evening flight.
"We're not like a lab yet," says Seifert of the kitchens that look much like any large-scale catering facility. "We have lots of standards and procedures; we can trace every product, everything is recorded, what is cooked, when and how."
That is to ensure that should anything go amiss or the food is not satisfactory Seifert can tell where in the process it might have happened.
But if the whims of premium passengers must be indulged as one-offs, general safety and hygiene are constant with the 24-hour operation.
"It's essential for us the food is safe, this is our first priority. The first thing our people learn is the rule to wash hands, change clothes, cover hair, no jewelry and recording of all items," says Seifert.
Gate Gourmet's facility at the edge of the airport could almost be a drive-thru for planes, it's just a few hundred yards from the southern runway.
With the roar of jet engines in the background, dedicated chefs in the Indian, Middle Eastern and Chinese sections of the kitchens oversee the production of different meals for 17 international airlines.
The "blast chillers" are one exceptional piece of kitchen kit not usually found in regular restaurant kitchens. They are used to quickly bring the temperature down from cooking temperature to around 4 degrees Celsius; the required temperature food must be when delivered to planes.
Much of the first and business class cuisine, from scallop dumplings to macaron desserts, are hand-made and prepared directly to an airline's specifications. Many of these carriers have a celebrity chef behind the creation of the menu.
"Usually the higher-end airlines send their own menus, or others will ask us to for the whole thing to develop it for them," says Siefert.
"Most of them will make proposals; our proposals will combine with theirs, and they give us roughly a vision of their food and they will come to our facility. It can be a very stressful day actually... you have to change this and you have to take all the weights and record it all down to make sure it is exactly like this."
Those plating up the meals have pictorial guides, so when the food is served or the foil lid removed, passengers don't lose their appetite with sloppy presentation. "That's what the customer wants and that's what the customer insists," says Siefert.
For those who don't have the luxury of sitting at the front of the plane, the hardy perennials of airline food -- beef, chicken and fish -- will continue to be the mainstay of dining in the sky.
"Most of the flying public they are not adventurous ; you won't be finding braised rabbit or pigeon on an aircraft," says Weber. "But we work with a lot of international customers so there's a high expectation, especially as Hong Kong is a culinary hub. Even if you go for a dai pai dong, here the food is good."

If his account is correct he shouldn't have a problem beating the charges provided they can locate a witness or video, and with them he's got a slam dunk civil rights suit against DOHS
If his account is correct he'll have a hard time either beating the charges or winning a civil rights suit. If you leave a vehicle during a traffic stop and refuse an order to get back into the vehicle, your behavior is generally considered threatening enough to give law enforcement requisite cause to detain you for a patdown. In the US, the relevant SCOTUS case is Terry v. Ohio and in Canada they have R. v. Mann. At this point, you are in a legal state midway between freedom and arrest and further noncompliance with demands is resisting arrest. Since his account does not include any necessity of medical treatment, it's unlikely that any excessive force used was of such a degree to make a "slam dunk" case. It's nevertheless disappointing that this event occurred but he obviously was terribly mistaken about the extent of his legal rights once he was stopped and began refusing law enforcement demands. I have no doubt that the same chain of events could easily occur if one was to resist a legitimate patdown in Canada.
Why won't sharks eat lawyers? Professional courtesy.

Kingston's Rangers
Sarna News
Kingston's Rangers | |
Unit Profile (as of 3085) | |
Nickname | |
Parent Formation | Victoria Commonality Rangers |
Formed | 2916 |
Previously the Kingston's Legionnaires, the Kingston's Rangers are a high-spirited unit known for sometimes questionable tactics.
A relative newcomer to the Chesterton Reserves, the Kingston's Legionnaires were formed from the remnants of two poor performing regiments, the 6th Capellan Reserve Cavalry and Shadrack's Shadow Hawks, taken out of active service after a failed attack on the Federated Suns world of Bristol in 2915.[1]
The unit's first major action occurred in 2952 when the Legionnaires' Cheetahs, backed by Thunderbirds and Eagles from assorted reserve regiments, fended off incursions against Ingersoll by the Marik Guard.[1]
The Legionnaires' next major assignment almost led to their destruction, tangling with the 42nd Avalon Hussars during the siege of Fletcher in 2985. Greatly outnumbered and suffering poor communication, the Hussars Marauders proved deadly, with over 60 percent of the Legionnaires destroyed before reinforcements could extract the survivors.[1]
At the end of the Third Succession War, the Legionnaires consisted of two Battalions stationed on the planet of Heligoland [2]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
Heligoland was targeted in the sixth wave of AFFS's Fourth Succession War invasion of the Capellan Confederation, with the the Legionnaires facing the 6th Crucis Lancers RCT. Instead of attacking the Lancers' drop zones, the Legionnaires chose to hold the superior defensive positions in the hills around planet's capital city Helio. Recognizing the tough combat required extract to the Legionnaires from their dug-in positions, the Lancers instead captured the sole water reservoir for Helio and cut the supply. The Legionnaires lasted two weeks in the sweltering heat before realizing they could wait no longer, charging down from the hills directly into the teeth of the Lancers.
As the Legionnaires losses mounted, the unit's CO Colonel Mathias requested an audience with the commander of the Lancers Marshal Orval Gossiage, offering to evacuate all Capellan forces off worlds in return for safe treatment of the planet's citizenry and transport for the Legionnaries and their families to the Capellan world of Minnacora. Despite the potential danger, the Marshal agreed to the terms. [3].
With the conclusion of the Fourth Succession War, the Legionnaires were one of just two units of the once mighty Chesterton Reserves to survive and remained on Minnacora, now a frontline world on the border with the Federated Commonwealth.[4]
Andurien/Canopus Invasion[edit]
The Legionnaires were stationed on Heligoland and Minnacora during this conflict. They didn't see any conflict.[5]
War of 3039[edit]
The Kingston's Legionnaires were assigned in late 3039 to reinforce the embattled remains of the 15th Dracon against the 2nd FedCom RCT retaliatory attack on Ares. The arrival of the Legionnaires finally dislodged the 2nd and prompted them to withdraw off-world, but not before the FedCom unit had succeeded in their mission and comprehensively crippled the Bergan Industries, Quikscell Company and Earthwerks Limited factories on Ares in revenge for McCarron's Armored Cavalry's raids against the Federated Commonwealth during the War of 3039. [6]
Operation Guerrero[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help BattleTechWiki by expanding it.
Operation Bulldog[edit]
Compared to the fanatical and elite units contributed by the other states, many were surprised when the Capellan Confederation sent the Legionnaires as their contribution to Task Force Serpent, the reborn Star League's assault on the Clan Smoke Jaguar homeworld of Huntress in 3059. Publicly the reason stated was that with CCAF's elite forces tied up with stabilizing the so-called Chaos March and Operation Bulldog they couldn't afford to send anyone else, while many saw it as representing Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao's low expectation of the mission's success. [7][8]
During the initial assault on Huntress in 3060, the Legionnaires were assigned with the 1st Knights of the Inner Sphere to capture a cadet training base near the city of New Andery.[9] Both units discovered the bases were defended by a new form of military unit, the ProtoMech, and suffered heavy damage, requiring reinforcement by the 2nd Com Guard Division to carry the day. The Legionnaires suffered nearly 70 percent losses in this first battle. [10]
In preparation for the Smoke Jaguar's counter-invasion, along with the 4th Drakons and 11th Lyran Guards, the remains of the Legionnaires were transferred to the Lunar Range on the continent of Abysmal to act as reinforcement for the larger northern and southern armies. With losses mounting, the Legionnaires were assigned to bolster General Winston's northern army facing brutal combat in the Jaguar Fang mountains until the arrival of Victor Steiner-Davion's relief force. [11]
Much of the CCAF were surprised both at the successful completion of Serpent and the Legionnaires' return, a battered battalion's worth of survivors bringing with them Clan-tech OmniMechs making their way back to Liao space. [12]
Xin Sheng Campaign[edit]
When the Victoria Commonality was split from the Sian Commonality, the CCAF assigned the remains of the Chesterton Reserves to form the Victoria Commonality Rangers, with the Legionnaires being renamed the Kingston's Rangers.[13]
As the FedCom Civil War raged, the Rangers were posted on Yuris as a precaution against Duke George Hasek fomented AFFS aggression, which eventually burst into minor conflict on Frazer.[14] By 3067 the unit was posted on Zanzibar.[15]
During the Jihad, the unit was assigned to Operation: Thunderstrike's Task Force Vengeance as part of counter offensive against FedSun's Capella March invasion of the St. Ives Commonality in 3068. As part of TF Vengeance, they help to take worlds of Frazer, Mendham, Glentworth, Wrentham, and Robstart in Third Wave of the Operation in 3069.
In the Fourth Wave, Kingston and rest of TF Vengeance worlds of Manadee and Ridgebrook by end of June. TF Vengeance and sister Task Force Light Horse assaulted New Syrtis in September as part of the Fifth Wave. Here, Kingston and rest of the forces of two task forces fought grueling battle for the planet against six AFFC units that had gathered there. The unit withdrew from New Syrtis in January 3070 as part of Chancellor Sun Tzu Liao's call for a ceasefire.[16]
As of 3079, the regiment is spread across Zanzibar, Yuris, and Rollis.[17]
Most of the veterans from Task Force Serpent were killed during the Jihad operations. The unit spent most of their time after that rebuilding.[18] In 3085 they were stationed on Victoria.[19]
Dark Age[edit]
In the Victoria War the Rangers were stationed on Victoria. There they used the domed city of Barns as their base, but only after smashing the 3rd Federated Suns Lancers, who had attacked the city. The Rangers inflicted heavy damage while the Lancers were disorganized, but the AFFS unit quickly regained command cohesion and the Rangers withdrew. They used Barns as their base. When the 5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry regiment arrived, the Rangers attempted to link up with them but were repelled. Sung's Rangers were also unable to link up with the Kingston's Rangers. They were able to join up with the 5th Capellan Defense Force and retreat off Victoria. They were delivered to Quimberton where they rebuilt.[20] They later invaded Zanzibar, where the Sircar CMM was successfully keeping the 1st Canopian Fusiliers and 2nd Canopian Cuirassiers pinned down. The Rangers arrival forced the AFFS militia unit to withdraw.[21]
As part of a deal struck when the Legionnaires still belonged to the Chesterton Reservers, the Kingston family is entitled to hereditary command positions in the unit, though regimental and even battalion command are still determined based on skill by the CCAF. Part of this bargain also insures that the unit only retains the Kingston name as long as one member of the Kingston line serves in the unit. The Kingston family also presents a new 'Mech to the commanding officer, whether they are related or not every year.[13]
As of 3025, the Legionnaires were commanded by Colonel Martha "Big Mama" Mathias. [22]
As of 3050 to 3054, the Legionnaires were commanded by Colonel Samuel Kingston.[4][23] Previously serving under Colonel Mathias as commander of the 1st Battalion, Kingston led the Legionnaires during Task Force Serpent and was killed during the last desperate days of fighting. He was reaffirmed as Sang-shao in the new CCAF, awarded the Cluster of Conspicuous Heroism and buried with full honors. [12]
As of 3063 to 3067, the Rangers were commanded by Sang-shao Willow Green. Defying the stereotype of the elite MechWarrior, the shy and soft-spoken exterior hides a ruthless strength.[12][15]
In 3085 the commanding officer is Sang-shao Mara Kingston.[19]
The harder an enemy beats on the Rangers, the harder they fight back. While this stand and deliver style leads to heavy losses, the Rangers seem willing to pay this cost rather than allow an enemy to strike with impunity. [12]

The majority of the Rangers use a two-color patchwork camouflage and always include red highlights. Those Rangers who fought in Clan-space however use the jungle pattern paint scheme they used on Huntress, showing no sign of ever changing. Newer recruits may not use this color pattern. [12]
Kingston's Rangers regimental insignia is a hawk pierced by a lance, set over a red circular field. As with other reserve divisions, the Victoria Commonality Rangers use the Confederation crest as their only insignia aside from a regimental emblem. Their version of the crest is backed by a steel-colored field. [13]
The unit is sometimes referred to as Kingston's Victoria Commonality Rangers (or Kingston's VCR) in later source books.

In order to determine if 3 people have a common ancestor, you need to have the following two requirements:
1. All 3 of them must match each other on the same part of the same chromosome
2. All 3 of them must be in common with each other
I often cannot get my In Common Filter to work on the ftDNA site using the procedure I outlined in my last post. So I switched to using a 3rd party tool designed by Rob Warthen called DNAGEDcom.
In order to use this tool, you must first have all of your match's relationship status assigned. You do so by clicking on the orange "assign" button next to everyone's names.
I assign everyone as "distant cousin."
In order to determine if everyone is set to a relationship status, I log into my account, change the filter to "Show All Matches" and then I click to download all matches to a CSV file.
I open the downloaded CSV file in excel. Then I sort by "Known Relationship." And if there are any names with a blank known relationship, I go back into my Family Finder match list and search for them and then I change their relationship to "distant cousin." I then download again to make sure they all "took."
Once you have all your matches assigned, then you can go to the website http://www.dnagedcom.com
And register for an account.
Then click the Family Tree DNA button at the top.
Enter your kit id and password and then click the "Get Data" button. It will probably 15-20 minutes to download it all.
A zip file will be downloaded to your computer. Unzip the file and it will contain 3 files – match list, ICW list, and chromosome browser list.
Open each file and save as an excel file. Now you can check to see if a match is in common with other matches easily. You can also start analyzing your Chromosome data. It is all downloaded for you nicely and you didn't have to download it 5 people at a time!
Many Thanks to Rob for developing this wonderful tool~!

PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem is asking the USGA to review the Rules of Golf after two prominent players were disqualified for rules violations that were reported after they signed their scorecards.
Television viewers called in violations by Camilo Villegas in Hawaii and Padraig Harrington in Abu Dhabi. They were assessed two-shot penalties, but because officials were notified after the round, the players were disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.
Reports of rule violations by TV viewers got Camilo Villegas and Padraig Harrington disqualified from big events in recent months.
The Farmers Insurance Open is the PGA Tour's first stop of 2011 on the U.S. mainland.
"I just think that there's a lot of discomfort with this whole situation and questions raised," Finchem said Tuesday.
He said he is to meet with the USGA Executive Committee next week at its annual meeting, and he has spoken with the European Tour, which he said has joined him in questioning the rule.
Finchem made it clear he is not asking that the penalty related to signing an incorrect card be changed.
He said he wants a "full and thorough review" of the rule, so golf officials can ask if there is a better way to penalize players. One suggestion is to assess the two-stroke penalty even after the card has been signed, provided the player was not aware he had broken a rule.
Regardless of the outcome, tours have a right to set their own rules for a tournament. Finchem, however, has not been in favor of the PGA Tour getting into the business of making rules. He prefers the USGA to handle that.
"I don't want to assume what our position would be on any piece of it," he said. "All I'm saying at this point is we ought to have an intelligent, thorough discussion of what we have today and what options might be available to us."
One suggestion is to simply add the penalty to a player's score when a violation is discovered and let him keep playing. That could lead to other problems, however. If a two-shot penalty on Friday is not discovered until Saturday, it's possible the adjusted score could affect which players make the cut.
Villegas reached over to tap down a divot as his ball was rolling back down a slope to that very spot. A TV viewer tried to reach tournament officials, but his e-mail didn't make its way to Kapalua until after Villegas had signed for a 72.
Harrington opened with a 65 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, one shot out of the lead. A TV viewer noticed that when replacing his ball on the green, the ball moved forward ever so slightly. Harrington later said he knew the ball nudged forward, but he felt it had rolled back to its original spot. He was disqualified the next day.
Finchem said he had been told that without HDTV, it could not be determined that Harrington's ball had moved.
"Now if you can't see the ball move in that kind of setting, are you really going to let that go to disqualification? I mean, there needs to be some common sense here maybe in terms of the way these things are," Finchem said. "So I don't know whether the rule will be changed. I don't know what timeframe the final decision will be made by the USGA.
"I feel comfortable given the quality of the people at the USGA today that if we can just get into a room and talk seriously about the options, we ought to be able to give this a very careful review."

Prescription drug abuse plagues small W.Va. town
This is the third in a four-part series examining prescription drug abuse in West Virginia. For more stories in this series, click here.WILLIAMSON, W.Va. -- It's early morning and the streets are empty. All you can hear is the train that cuts through town.A few years ago, crowds of people filled the lot outside a clinic on Third Avenue. When they got inside, they paid cash to get prescriptions for painkillers and other drugs, investigators allege.
A couple of blocks away, people lined up before 6 a.m. to visit another clinic's doctor.The community was frustrated. "They called it Pilliamson, instead of Williamson," said Mingo County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Sparks. "It was an open secret, you might say."Federal and state authorities are handling an ongoing investigation of the clinics, but Sparks says prescription drug abuse causes most of the local crimes he prosecutes -- robberies, assaults, forgery.Even though the clinics are now shuttered, substance abuse still plagues the area.People can still find pills. They can't find treatment for their addiction. A local pastor sees drugs destroy families and kill young people."Thankfully, that blight's not there anymore," Sparks said on a recent afternoon, pointing to the nearly empty parking lot that was once filled with drug seekers. "But it's a battle that's far from over."'Like herding cattle'People traveled long distances to the Mountain Medical Care Center, formerly known as the Williamson Wellness Center. They paid $450 for the first visit, according to federal court papers.They had to visit monthly to get their prescriptions renewed -- for $150 -- and usually didn't see a doctor, investigators allege. Instead, a receptionist asked whether their complaint was the same as before.Most patients allegedly got prescriptions for painkillers and anti-anxiety pills they abused or sold. The clinic called in the prescriptions to local pharmacies.
Court papers say Mountain Medical, which closed last year, wrote prescriptions for more than 44,000 people. Sometimes the clinic saw 400 patients a day.Williamson's population is about 3,000. One patient described the clinic's practices "as like herding cattle through a process," investigators wrote in court papers.A few blocks away, outside a now-shuttered house, patients also lined up to visit a smaller clinic operated Dr. Diane Shafer. Court filings allege she accepted cash to write questionable prescriptions. Last year, one of her employees pleaded guilty to giving out prescriptions pre-signed by Shafer in exchange for some of the pills.In court filings, investigators say that in 2009, Mountain Medical took in more than $4.6 million in cash. They believe Shafer netted more than $1.36 million a year.Williamson's city budget lost a significant chunk of tax revenue when the clinics closed, Mayor Darrin McCormick said.
Police and prosecutors say it's tougher to investigate prescription drug crimes than those involving illegal substances like cocaine and heroin.
"It's not as black and white," said Sgt. Mike LaFauci of the State Police's drug diversion unit. "If you have crack cocaine in your pocket, you know it's illegal. If you have a Lortab in there, that's a gray area."It is difficult for police to prove that a doctor is feeding someone's addiction, rather than treating real pain, LaFauci said. "Pain management is subjective. All that doctors are really required to hear is, 'I have a pain,'" LaFauci said. "When you get into the standard of care, it's a tricky thing for us to prove."Investigations take years, he said. Patient records are hard to obtain, and once they get them, medical experts must pore over the documents.Many pill-mill doctors try to escape scrutiny by refusing to take insurance or Medicaid, said Steven Loew, assistant U.S. Attorney. Some require patients to bring X-rays or MRIs, thinking that will thwart prosecution."They increase the amount of records that they keep," he said. "They will adapt with their tools, and do everything that they can to fly under the radar screen."U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin says prescription drug abuse is one of his office's top concerns. He is focusing on "getting the money" -- seizing assets netted from illegal activity."Sometimes, people are willing to do the jail time just as long as you don't take the money," he said.In Williamson, federal prosecutors have seized assets from Shafer, and from Mountain Medical Care Center's Dr. Katherine Hoover, as well as the clinic's office manager.Between 2002 and 2010, Hoover was the state's No. 1 prescriber of controlled substances. None of the doctors who worked at the clinics has been charged with any crime.Hoover now lives in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. She says she went there last year because of health problems and because she feared for her safety.
"To the best of my ability, every patient who was treated was treated in good faith for pain," she said in a phone interview.Hoover said she was trying to help people who were suffering. The state medical board revoked her license last year after she missed a disciplinary hearing related to allegations she asked a 17-year-old female patient to have sex with her teen sons in 1995."As a physician, you have a pool of people that are addicts," she said. "I did my very best to sort people out."Shafer's attorney, Dwane Tinsley, said his client did not want to comment on the case. Her clinic closed in 2009, and she later surrendered her medical license."She has not been charged, but she is under investigation," he said.Jet-setting for drugsPolice acknowledge that shutting down a suspected pill mill doesn't solve the overall problem.In the past few years, drug dealers from Detroit have "flooded the market" in West Virginia with pills, said Joe Ciccarelli, FBI supervisory senior resident agent in Charleston."A lot of them have shifted into the pill business," he said.Many people also travel to Florida, where prescription regulations are notoriously lax. They go from doctor to doctor to load up on prescription pills they sell back home, he said. On the street, people typically pay $1 per milligram for most prescription pills. Sparks, the county prosecutor, knows of Mingo County residents who travel to a particular doctor in Boca Raton, Fla., for pills. They take cheap flights from Huntington to the Sunshine State."You can't make this stuff up," Sparks said. "I mean, jet-setting for prescription drugs." Sparks remembers a case where a woman overdosed after a night of doing drugs with her friends.They called 911. She died on the way to the hospital that morning."Then later that day, [her friends] traveled to Florida to get more oxycodone," he said.Even when a pill mill shuts down, Ciccarelli said, "We're still going to have addicts living here.""Treatment has to be part of the equation," he said. "Society has to recognize that it's unacceptable for people to just be medicated into oblivion." McCormick, the mayor, said rehabilitation options are sorely lacking in the area. "I would like to see more discussion about treatment," he said. "The problem is addiction."Throughout West Virginia, services are hard to find outside of major cities, said Laura Lander, clinical supervisor of the West Virginia Prescription Drug Abuse Quitline."We actually have people traveling from as far away as Princeton to come up here and receive services" in Morgantown, she said. "In this state, there are not enough services for everyone who needs them. It's hard for people to stay motivated when they're told on the phone that, 'We have a month waiting list or a two-month waiting list.'"'No one's exempt'About 30 miles from Williamson, Amy Turner runs the Mingo County STOP Coalition, an anti-drug community group that operates out of the Larry Joe Harless Community Center in Gilbert.Near the community center, the coalition runs an eight-bed recovery home for women. It's a small place called Crossroads, but Turner says it represents a bit of hope in the community. "I would like to see the stigma leave," she said.Addiction has hit people from all walks of life, she said: "It's people way higher up than we would ever know."On Monday nights at the community center, pastor Anthony Hudgins of Eagle Sanctuary, an interdenominational church in Man, leads support groups for families of drug addicts.He has seen the pain drugs cause: divorces, overdose deaths, wrecked lives."It just affects every age, every status of life," he said. "No one's exempt from this."Usually, about 10 or 15 people show up for the support group. He wants to more people to speak up."We need more leaders, more government, more members of the community to get involved," he said. "One of the issues I see in our area is people just stick their head in the sand. They feel like if we just don't talk about it, it'll go away. But it doesn't go away."Coming Monday in The Gazette: The ups and downs of Suboxone treatment for addiction.Reach Alison Knezevich at email@example.com or 304-348-1240.This series was conceived and produced as a project for The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships, a program of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.

President Barack Obama saluted the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in the White House on Monday.
(From Ileana Morales for The Huffington Post)
WASHINGTON — It took one shout of "Who Dat!" to get the celebration started in the White House on Monday as President Barack Obama saluted the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
The band played "When the Saints Go Marching In" as team members came in smiling to cheers and shouts for quarterback Drew Brees. Team owner Tom Benson pumped his fist in the air, flashing a Super Bowl yellow-gold diamond ring.Obama congratulated the team, owner and coaches in an East Room ceremony. He said the team lifted up "the hopes and the dreams of a shattered city" in the wake of the ravages of Hurricane Katrina.
The Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17, in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.
Obama said the Saints' Super Bowl win was huge for New Orleans and for the country. He noted that after Katrina, the Saints had to play an entire season on the road because their home stadium, the Superdome, was ruined in the storm.
"Back then people didn't even know if the team was coming back. People didn't even know if the city was coming back," Obama said.
Now, the president said, the Saints proved their team and city are here to stay.
Brees presented the 44th president with a No. 44 Saints jersey. The Chicago Bears fan joked he couldn't get away with wearing it in Chicago.
Coach Sean Payton is also from Chicago.
"You've got to be tough to be a Chicago guy. I make some tough decisions every day, but I never decided on an onside kick in the second half of the Super Bowl," Obama said.
The Saints took a risk using an onside kick – called ambush – against the Colts to open the second half of the championship game.
"I'm glad that thing went alright," Obama said. Players and members of Congress and Obama's Cabinet laughed.
Brees, in a previous White House visit, filmed a public service announcement to encourage kids to exercise for 60 minutes each day. The team spent the morning in Washington playing football with kids from the Boys and Girls Club. Later, they visited wounded troops and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
"These are big guys with big hearts, and shoulders big enough to carry the hopes and dreams of an entire city with them," Obama said.
Obama also talked about the BP oil spill, the latest disaster to hit the Gulf. He was optimistic about the battle to stop the flow of oil now that the leak appears to be plugged. His administration, he said, remains committed to the Gulf's recovery.
The president said seafood from the Gulf is now safe to eat, and the White House served some this week. Team members showed off some of New Orleans' famous cuisine. They served some shrimp to the White House press corps and were sharing recipes with White House staff, including, according to Obama, a 30-foot po-boy that was to be served at lunch.
But before lunch, there were autographs, silent cameraphone clicks and more cheers. Players standing on bleachers in the East Room snapped pictures of the president as he made his way around to shake their hands.
Then the Saints left the same way the came in – to claps, chants of "Who dat!" and the band playing their song.

"The team was ravaged by illness early in the season, resulting in numerous games being played with shorthanded - including many with only five to six players and one in which there were only four players on the floor at the end. It was nice to get everyone healthy in time for league to start."
Dave Pistone
"Who is there who has not been overcome by the ravages of time? What beggar has attained glory? Who has become happy by contracting the vices of the wicked?"
"Any nose may ravage with impunity a rose"
Robert Browning
"Given England's injury ravaged squad it is not surprising that it is one way traffic in the betting. To put it bluntly - you don't need a calculator to add up the cash we've taken for England."

I have it: 178 I had it: 31 I want it: 266 My signature: 5
Bond No. 9 signed an argreement with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to produce fragrances under the Andy Warhol name. They started with Andy Warhol Silver Factory in 2007. Since that 6 fragrances, including the very new one, have been introduced.
Andy Warhol by Bond No 9 is housed in a standard Bond No 9 bottle with an image of the artist himsel, which is repeated on each side of the bottle. "We chose a photo-booth portrait of a youngish, clean-cut, Mad Man-esque Warhol, circa 1963 - 1964, when he was 35, wearing sunglasses, along with the era's essential trench coat, white business shirt, and tie." Andy Warhol was launched in 2011.

It is an average product and very overpriced.
I'd heard much about Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol, as I've been keener on plum-dominant fragrances this year, and have just purchased a bottle of Tom Ford Plum Japonais, and Andy Warhol similarly does not disappoint.
AW is overall slightly sweeter than PJ, as a reference point, with the plum being very much front-and-center in the topnotes along with a fresh cypress and bergamot pairing. I definitely get a hefty dose of rose in the heart, which is welcome, and blends unexpectedly well with the plum. It almost creates a new type of sweet rose aspect that I've not experienced previously, despite the omnipresence of rose as of late.
The oud in the dry down is quite subtle, and there's no sense of a rose/oud combination (an especially pervasive pairing that I quite like). The base notes are not particularly detectable to my nose; vanilla may be there, but the plum still creates most of the sweetness to my nose. Musk and sandalwood could contribute to a soft, woody dry down but I don't get much of either, frankly.
Perhaps except for the bottle (purple with Warhol's head), it's difficult to distinguish from some of flankers so one needs to be careful in seeking this one out.
Performance seems solid, comparable to other Bonds and perhaps even some of the Tom Ford Private Blend line that are not the strongest of the line, and I'm by no coincidence thinking of Plum Japonais.
Use-wise, I could see this having year-round wearability though I'd certainly gravitate toward using it in the colder weather, and men and women alike could use it for both formal and informal occasions.
Overall a great composition and one I now want to track down.
8 out of 10
One of the best Bonds ever produced! Shame they had to discontinue it. :)
It must get the kind of love it deserves. It is what a plum should smell like. Amazing and out of the world. Too tacky to be worn as daily wear but too welcoming if you really want to enjoy this scent and douse yourself in its sorcerous beauty. A class that is different, unorthodox, and unique to enjoy if you compare it with what you come across now a days. I only wish it was available and with a little lesser price tag.
Scent: Amazing
Projection: Great
Longevity: Great
Price: ok, not so great
Great juice hands down !
Such a beautiful masterpiece. Pretty unique and so seductive.I love it.One of the best fragrance from bond house!It's very bad that this is disconnected and rare and very hard to find.I really want to know why such a beautiful fragrance like this and many other's must be discontinued and out of order?
Scent 10/10
Longevity 9/10
Projection 10/10
Overall 9.75/10
Scent - vanillin wood, patchouli & sandalwood.
Season/Time of Day - I can wear it in the colder months, day or night.
Projection - I didn't get noticed, I didn't get a compliment.
Longevity - I get 12hrs consistently.
This Bond No. 9 has been on my gotta try list for a long time. I really enjoy TF Plum Japonais, which has recently been replaced by Vintage CD Poison as my favorite Plummy fragrance. This gorgeous scent is a bit like both of them, although not "smokey" or "incensey".
Andy Warhol maintains a semi-sweet Plum throughout wearing. I found that the TF lost a lot of Plum after about an hour, sadly. Plum Japonais also is much more Oud-filled to my nose.
The Vintage Poison wins again! This could be a second choice if Vintage Poison becomes unavailable. but, I just don't think I could bear looking at the bottle (all due respect to Mr. Warhol) I'd have to decant into another vessel.
beautiful...just beautiful....one of the best from bond period!!!
A delicious scent.
For me completely linear, it is a conjuncture of grape with vanilla, you realize very discrete nuances of oud, something kind incensed but nothing to change the main focus.
I consider this perfume a fruity gourmand refers me to a dessert i never eaten, it would be a grape mousse, it´s creative, creamy and yummy.
Rating: 8,5-9/10
Always wanted to get my nose on it but due to poor availability it was hard until recently, and oh boy it is very nice. Last a good amount of time but is not a sillage monster, very nice plum note and yes I can see similarities with Plum Japonais by Tom Ford, but this one is sweeter and more casual to me when Plum Japonais is darker spicier and smokier Plum, both very nice and bottle worthy in my book. I give Andy Warhol 10 out of 10, one of the best Bond fragrances.
disappointing in sillage and duration.. great plum opening but, surely not worth its price tag!
I really love this fragrance, to me the 5 big notes are Plum, Oud, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Frankincense, lasts a really long time but for me it´s not a projection monster, but sometimes it´s a good thing because it´s made the fragrance more versatile, so as being said it is my signature fragrance, I bought several tester bottles of this fragrance to make sure I don´t run out soon of this beautiful juice 10/10
I bought some samples. I absolutely adore this scent. It's warm and inviting. Where can I buy a full bottle?
Great scent. Nothing new to add except that this resembles Tom Ford Plum Japonais (which came out after Andy Warhol) and smells nothing like 24 Gold by Scentstory.
Thumbs up and glad to own a bottle!
One of the best fragrance from bond house!!
Scent 10/10
Longevity 9/10
Projection excellent
Overall 9/10
This is a masterpiece. If you like plum scents, than this is your signature scent! An amazing plum with a light vanilla is what are the main notes I get from this fragrance. It lasts all day and projects well! Very hard to get but if you get a chance, get it!
10/10 for plum lovers!
Love the reviews, having tried this...., there is NOTHING MORE I could say than what most of you guys haven't already covered: Incense, dark, a bit smoky, Oud, Plum, sweet, but not overly sweet, mysterious, purple, mellow, boozy, beast longevity..., BRAVO
This right here. Manly vanilla , and plum with a deep smokey feel. Damn it's addictive ! Your gonna get some hair playing from the ladies when you walk by with this on too..
This does actually remind me of a church also, but it also makes me think of some badass that was out smoking cigars all day while gunning down bad guys. It's sweet, but it's so smokey, it's relaxing but intriguing, it's church but it has a dark side. I guess they really made one that fit Warhol's personality. I just have to wait until winter to wear it now... In the summer this will cause asphyxia.
Pretty unique and so seductive - I love it. Lasts forever but its not that great to have such a price tag!
csodas illat és beszerzem :)
smells like burberry woman like almost identical
I have had a large sample vial of this for months now. I actually stumbled upon Bond over a year ago looking at "Best fragrances for men 2011." This made the top 10 list.
I probably sniffed it mid summer... maybe in August? Apparently that didn't sit well. Fast forward to January... I was more intrigued. Now I just plain want a bottle!
I can attest that this smells only faintly of incense, but more of smoke. I adore the honeyed, plum, deep, dark fruit base that this fragrance rests on. There's some vanilla and woods... but different types, you can tell there's oud, but it also smells of trees...
Lovely cold/cooler weather scent. Really has me craving that smell.
It seems i have to try this one but there are not products of bond no.9 in my country :Hoam
Made in Heaven featuring the Devil.
Absolutely amazing.
Andy Warhol By Bond is one of my favourite perfumes of this brand (with Coney Island and Madison Square Park).
I don't love Bond scents, I find them very subtle and quiet, and I prefer chaotic and theatrical perfumes (Serge Lutens ones, Angel by Mugler, Black Orchid by Tom Ford).
But this is something subtle and gentle, but in an extravagant way.
Incense base, very deep and dark, with olibanum and oud, and a fruity heart of sweet, greedy plum.
And this couple is so strange, but so good!
The oud gives a particular aroma of liquor, plum and vanilla give a pretty twist to this dark blend.
Stunning scent.
This is another incredible bond scent. If you love frankinscence like I do- you will love this fragrance. I was looking for a scent with Frankinscence in it and I finally found one. Worth every cent.
I grew up Irish Catholic & this totally reminds me of the incense ball that the priests spread around during mass. You know, where it is dangling from the chain and they swing it back & forth over the parishioners. Does anyone else know what I am talking about?? I found the scent very soothing & comforting. I would not buy a FB but I enjoyed trying it out.
I got a sample from saks and I tried to see people reaction i got good complements but they thought. I was wearing dolce&gabbana The One but more sweeter. Its a good fragrance but is the price is not worth. It.
When I first smelled this, thanks to a great SA at the Bond No. 9 counter, my first reaction was "they finally did it right!" I was comparing it to Silver Factory. When I first smelled SF, I fell in love with its light, woody, incensy smokiness, but later discovered there was an undercurrent of something that smelled urinous, or at least that's how my mind interpreted it. The love was gone...
Andy Warhol is an addition to the study in incense, probably still a work in progress. Striking is the warmth tempered by the incense itself, although I would've exercised a little more restraint in order to fully make obvious the oud note, which just sits inbetween the incense and the plummy sweetness. The amount of oud is perfect--it's not superinjected like many offerings, therefore it doesn't smell sweaty or out of balance.
In humid weather, like where I live most of the time, the scent billows and envelops, but in air conditioned settings, the scent is well tempered, light smoky and sweet.
AW is pricey as with all BNo.9 oud tinged offerings, and as with such high end niche perfumery, I gotta love it to buy it--I only liked it.
Plum, incense, oud, labdanum. All of these come together to create a sort of less intense, but not-as-satisfying Jubilation XXV. Still, the drydown is seriously one of the few oud-heavy drydowns I'd recommend, and the stuff lasts all day long.
I'd honestly rather get Jubilation XXV, but definitely check this one out.
This probably requires a bit more adjustment, so I can only give some initial impressions.
The plum in the top is nice, not overly sweet, but a pleasant note for the fragrance. I wish it had more of a chance to unfold and develop, which sadly it didn't before the entire mixture evolved into only the distinguishable notes of sandalwood and vanilla. I'm told it's a Madagascar Vanilla, but it's so subdued that it also is underdeveloped and doesn't emerge from the base. And perhaps it's an unfair comparison since I've had the chance to wear Spiritueuse Double Vanille recently, and the Bond pales by comparison.
This isn't bad, but I don't see this as the best effort Bond has put forth. The plum and other elements could have either been explored more fully or removed to make the core elements more pronounced. This is a melange that didn't have much chance to open up beyond a very vanillin/sawdust base. People might examine for the sheer novelty, but this could do with more of a reformulation to bring it from its present state of mediocrity.
Incredible!Sweet but not too sweet like blue sugar or rochas a masculine sweet plum,vanilla,oud,sandlewood great for winter.Last great scent for the class of 2011!!!
Purple seems like the perfect color for the image of Andy Warhol on the bottle of Bond no 9 ANDY WARHOL, because it contains a very inky, plummy, incense perfume. Oddly enough, there is also a very marked peach note, which hovers over the top of the composition and can be teased out by my nose (if I concentrate..) from the more intense purple amalgam which dominates the scent.
The inkiness reminds me a bit of the opening of Lalique ENCRE NOIRE, but the dark plum and peach really make this unique. There is a strong, deep, cooked fruitiness to this composition, without its being very sweet. With such *great* longevity and pretty big sillage, this latest entry in the Bond line up seems to me like a straight-up perfume, not a cologne. I don't think that it is more feminine than masculine, but it definitely has a depth and heft which are more characteristic of women's fragrances than men's. Apply sparingly for full enjoyment. (-;
First impression; I love the presentation but not so much for the scent. I get a weird plumy sweetness throughout, strong patchouli, dry and spicy oud (best part), some sandalwood with a mild spicy kick, and something powdery. It gets sharp silvery smokey later and I suspect it's the frankincense. The scent is heavy at first but will settle down and last a long time. I think this is a unique Bond. I like the smokey and woody quality in here, but this confirms that I am still not a big fan of the plum. In fact, I don't even like to eat plum. :( I would like it better if the sweetness comes from something more oriental like amber. I would to try again tho. Maybe my mind will change about this.

Nothing makes you lose your appetite faster than opening that container of cream cheese that's been sitting in the back of your fridge for a month only to find a big, fuzzy, green mound of mold resting on top of it. It's safe to say that preventing mold growth on your food is important for maintaining your health. And not just because of the gross-out factor.
Molds that grow on food are fungi that grow when the food has been sitting around for too long. And inhaling or ingesting mold can cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems in people with mold allergies. What's worse — mold can also contain mycotoxins, poisonous substances that can make you very sick.
So mold prevention is key. Here's how to prevent mold from growing on food in your kitchen:
Inspect food at the grocery store before you even bring it home. Make sure that fruit isn't already molding before you bring it home, and check the use-by dates of items that are closed to make sure those dates are not around the corner. This is crucial to mold prevention since a mold-infected fruit or veggie that you bring home from the store could infect your whole fruit drawer.
Try to scrub down your fridge every month or once every two months with a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with water. Wipe clean with just water, and then wipe dry. This will help to prevent mold growth in the nooks and crannies inside your fridge.
Also, try not to leave perishables out of the refrigerator for more than a couple hours, and when they are left out, keep them covered. When you're done eating from the dish, transfer the food to a closed container as soon as possible and store in the fridge.
And what about the leftovers? I've got to be honest; I'm a leftover snob — when a food makes its second appearance, I'm not so into it. But my husband — he could eat leftovers a whole week after they were made, maybe more. Well, turns out that ain't so good. The USDA recommends consuming leftovers within three or four days of when the items were cooked.
And it's important to remember that once you can see the mold growing on the food, it's not always sufficient to remove the moldy section and eat the rest of the item. That's because once mold is visible to the naked eye, it likely means that the mold spores have taken root far deeper into the food than you can see, and in some cases, that can mean that the entire item is now contaminated.
Follow the instructions above and you likely won't have any mold problems to contend with. If you do find mold on food, especially in an open environment (like on a piece of fruit in your crisper), make sure to discard the offending item and any other items that may have been touching it. Once you do that, clean all surfaces well near where the food was stored.
Be sure to check out the USDA's handy chart for when it's OK to cut off the portion of the food containing the mold spores and when you just need to chuck the whole thing. Mold begone!

Charlie Sheen makes a surprise visit with Denise Richards at a New York Yankees game, and by the look of things, one could assume that this divorced couple are still in love.
However, the couple divorced in 2006, but Radar Online found them reunited with their daughters, Sam and Lola, as they watched the Yankees vs. Mets game in New York.
It was only last week when the former Two and a Half Men star told Rolling Stone magazine said he still thinks his ex-wife is hot, but also admitted she was not interested in him.
Even so, there were times when she looked on towards Sheen as if she had a twinkle in her eye.
The actor's new series, Anger Management, premieres June 28. Surprisingly, he still talks about his famous 2011 meltdown and said he doesn't have anyone else to blame but himself. "I wish I could blame it on drugs, but I can't," he said.
She was there for him during the troubles when he was fired from the ratings-winning sitcom after ranting about its creator Chuck Lorre, but she would have no part of the public rants, he made on the Internet or his cross-country tour with his 2 goddesses.
Instead, she wanted to keep their kids away from the matter and was very scared for him. Through it out, she offered him comfort at times. They both care about their kids, and although he hasn't been a great father-figure in the public, he's shown that he's trying to be there for them.
