Singulair Granules In Packet
GENERIC NAME(S): Montelukast
Montelukast is used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma and decrease the number of asthma attacks. Montelukast is also used before exercise to prevent breathing problems. This medication can help decrease the number of times you need to use your rescue inhaler. This medication is also used to relieve symptoms of hay fever and allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, stuffy/runny/itchy nose).
This drug works by blocking certain natural substances (leukotrienes) that may cause or worsen asthma and allergies. It helps make breathing easier by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the airways.
How to use Singulair Granules In Packet
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking montelukast and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. When montelukast is started - or when the dosage is increased - watch closely for side effects. There is a greater chance of mental/mood changes during these times (see also Side Effects section).
You may swallow your dose plain, dissolve it in certain liquids, or mix it with a spoonful of soft food (such as applesauce) before swallowing. After opening the foil packet, take your dose within 15 minutes.
If you are mixing the granules in liquid, empty the packet into a small cup with 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of baby formula or breast milk (cool or at room temperature). Do not mix with water or other liquids. Stir well, and take the entire mixture right away. Do not save it for later use. After taking the liquid mixture, you may drink other liquids if desired.
If you are mixing the granules in soft food, mix only with the following foods: applesauce, mashed carrots, rice, or ice cream. Empty the packet into a small cup with 1 spoonful of soft food (cool or at room temperature) and mix completely. Take all of the mixture right away. Do not save it for later use.
Take this medication at the same time each day. If you are taking this medication for asthma or for both asthma and allergies, take your dose in the evening. If you are taking montelukast to prevent only allergies, take your dose either in the morning or the evening.
If you are taking this medication to prevent breathing problems during exercise, take your dose at least 2 hours before exercise. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours. Do not take a dose before exercise if you are already taking this medication daily for asthma or allergies. Doing so may increase the risk of side effects.
Do not increase or decrease your dose or stop using this medication without consulting your doctor. Continue to use this medication regularly to keep your asthma under control, even during sudden asthma attacks or periods when you have no asthma symptoms. Continue to also take other medications for asthma as directed by your doctor.
This medication works over time and is not meant to relieve sudden attacks of asthma. Therefore, if an asthma attack or other breathing problem occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. You should always have a quick-relief inhaler with you.
Learn which of your medications you should use every day and which you should use if your breathing suddenly worsens. Ask your doctor what to do if you have worsening cough or shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, worsening peak flow meter readings, increased use of your quick-relief inhaler, or if your quick-relief inhaler does not seem to be working well. Learn when you can self-medicate and when you should get medical help right away.
Side Effects
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (such as agitation, aggression, anxiety, trouble sleeping, abnormal dreams, sleep-walking, memory/attention problems, depression, hallucinations, thoughts of harming yourself/suicide), numbness/tingling/shooting pain in the arms or legs, sinus pain/swelling, muscle weakness, uncontrolled muscle movements, stuttering.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

When I bottle for comps, I use the Beergun and brand new bottles, and hit it with a little CO2 just before capping (very easy to do with the Beergun).I'm not sure how well you can control with carb tabs, especially since you've already carbonated in the keg.
I liked the advice given by the lady from Boulevard during one of the NHC presentations: bottle the batch to three different carb levels, and pick the ones you like best to send to the comp.

My brew buddy does it that way and has had great results...

The Bangladesh Premier League has got its first dose of controversy as Mashrafe Mortaza reported to his franchise, Dhaka Gladiators, an approach from a fellow cricketer to indulge in spot-fixing during the tournament.
Gladiators' media manager Minhaz Uddin Khan confirmed the report and said they have informed the BPL of the approach.
"I have told my team management (about the approach) and I'm sure they will do the right thing," Mortaza was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
Mortaza, it has been reported in the Bangladesh media, that he would step down from the team captaincy if he suspected any irregularities during the tournament, which got underway on Thursday.
According to the reports, Mashrafe was asked to provide information on whether he would play certain matches and if he would be wearing his sunglasses or a cap.
In return, Mortaza was told, he would be paid 15-20 per cent of the earnings from the spot-fixing.
BPL governing council secretary Sirajuddin Mohammad Alamgir said the player should have reported the approach to them first.
"We have found out after reading the newspaper reports. I don't understand why he went to the press first before telling us. There's a proper process for all this," Alamgir said.
Alamgir said that an ICC ACSU officer is already here and the information will be passed on to him.

Jesus "fine" after clash and Sanchez "on brink"?
MEDIA WATCH: 9 June 2017
Hello and welcome to your daily delve into all the City-related news, gossip and speculation doing the rounds in the paper and pixelated pages of the media.
Here's a few morsels to get your weekend up and running.
Firstly, a collective sigh of relief and indeed a "phew" please as Gabriel Jesus' heavyweight collision with Nicolas Otamendi during Brazil's clash with Argentina yesterday hasn't resulted in a broken jaw for the youngster.
"Brazil team officials confirmed that Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus did not sustain a serious injury after undergoing precautionary tests at a Melbourne hospital" report the Daily Mail.
"Jesus was taken off the field by stretcher late in Friday night's 1-0 friendly loss to Argentina after being hit by an errant elbow during an aerial challenge with club team-mate Nicolas Otamendi.
"Coach Tite had been concerned the 20-year-old Jesus had sustained a facial injury that might keep him out of Tuesday's friendly with Australia, also in Melbourne.
"But Brazil's team coordinator and former Arsenal midfielder Edu Gaspar said that Jesus had been given the all-clear.
"'Jesus is fine,' Edu announced. 'I spoke to the doctor, he said he is OK. He already did the exam to see if it (his jaw) is broken or not but nothing has happened.'
"Edu clarified coach Tite's comments that Jesus had very briefly fallen unconscious, saying he had just felt very dizzy from the blow."
Thank goodness for that!
Elsewhere "according to sources in Chile" Alexis Sanchez is on the "brink" of joining City from Arsenal.
"The Gunners striker has been the constant source of transfer speculation for months, and it appears his future could have finally been resolved" reckons The Sun's John Hutchinson.
"The news has been reported by respected Chilean journalist Fernando Solabarrieta, meaning Pep Guardiola's pursuit of the former Barcelona man could finally bear fruit.
"Sanchez was undoubtedly Arsenal's star man this season, scoring 30 goals and claiming 19 assists.
"And despite the signing of £43million Bernardo Silva, Manchester City don't appear to be holding back in their pursuit of the title next season.
"The 28-year-old featured for Chile as they drew 1-1 away to Russia in a friendly, and got an assist for Mauricio Isla's opener.
"When contacted by SunSport, Arsenal denied any such deal had been done concerning Sanchez.
"The Gunners forward is out of contract next year at the Emirates and looks set to depart the club this summer.
"Rather than risk losing him for free in 12 months, Arsene Wenger will have to sell now if his men are to receive top dollar.
"And the latest reports out of his homeland claim that the Chilean star knows exactly where he wants to playing next season – and it is in the Premier League.
"Journalist Maks Cardenas, who works for Cooperativa, Mega and Canal del Futbol, claimed via his Twitter that linking up with the Citizens is Sanchez's preferred choice.
"However, Arsenal are not considering that option and will do not want to consider flogging their key man to a domestic rival.
"But this latest piece of news may prove the move is a lot further down the line than we first thought."
I guess we'll all have to stay tuned for that one!
That's your lot today – enjoy your weekend, City fans!

On the heels of Torrentfreak's most pirated TV shows of 2013 is their list of most pirated movies. Not surprisingly, the list doesn't exactly represent the refined cultural taste you might hope.
Coming in at #1 is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I'm guessing it only took a handful of cinema goers to spread the word about the quality of this film before throngs of would be Tolkien fans went rogue and downloaded a torrent of it to save themselves £10 and almost 3 hours of bad makeup and inane action sequences.
The rest of the top 10 is a smorgasbord. The obligatory action and super hero flicks dominate, with the unexpected gem like Silver Linings Playbook thrown in. Whatever your movie tastes are, here's to a 2014 that will no doubt be chock full of movie pirating! [Torrentfreak via DigitalTrends]

By Richard Swan, CFCA sponsor
This will be the fourth year in a row that youth from our parish, Church of the Risen Christ in Denver, Colo., will be going to Guatemala. This year, we opened the trip up to the entire parish, and we have 18 adults joining 14 teens to build a home in Santiago. Each participant sponsors a child or aging person in Guatemala and will get to meet and spend time with their sponsored friend.
Each year, our parish has been very supportive of CFCA sponsorship and generous with financial donations and other items to take to the children and families in San Lucas Toliman.
At all Masses during one weekend in June, we asked for help to cover the cost of building materials for the house, estimated by CFCA to be about $3,500. In that one weekend, we collected more than enough to build the house. As a result of the generosity of fellow parishioners, one family will get to experience the joy of having a new home. The parish staff also approved giving the childrenís collections from all Masses as a gift to the CFCA Birthday and Christmas Fund. The children of our parish gave $800 to that special fund. What joy hundreds of children will experience because of the generosity of the children of our parish.
But the generosity doesnít end there! One parishioner purchased over $1,200 of new Spanish books for us to give to the school in San Lucas. We hope the joy of having those books will be felt for years to come. Another parishioner donated 35 pairs of new, protective goggles for the work site. A women's group at our parish made more than 150 rosaries to take on our trip. We also received 35 soccer balls, youth and high school soccer jerseys, shoes and warm-up suits. Those will bring joy to a lot of children who love playing soccer. And, at Vacation Bible School, parish children made little stuffed turtles with notes in Spanish that tell the children in Guatemala that "God loves you." Joy, pure and simple!
Generosity begets more generosity. As others heard about our trip, more donations kept coming in, and we will be able to help the San Lucas Mission continue many life-giving projects. Some parishioners accepted our invitation to pay for some of the more expensive parts of the home, such as doors and windows. This week we received a donation of 230 new Colorado T-shirts, with sizes ranging from toddler to adult.
The people of San Lucas and Guatemala will see the generosity of their friends in Denver and Colorado. And we will see the joy on their faces. But the greatest gift of all will be just being with the people, or as CFCA says it, walking with the poor. From Colorado to Guatemala, GENEROSITY will bring JOY.
The group from the Church of the Risen Christ leaves today for Guatemala. We wish them a safe and wonderful trip.

A new study came out this month evaluating supplementation of l-arginine as a means of reducing preeclampsia risk. There was a lot of media coverage – you probably had friends and relatives sending you articles like this – and there's been some discussion of it on the Preeclampsia Foundation forums as well.
Why did researchers think this might work? Well, partly for the same reason that smoking reduces risk of preeclampsia. It does so partly by activating a chemical pathway which uses l-arginine to build a protein called "nitric oxide synthase" (NOS). NOS is a vasodilator – it expands blood vessels - which could help to lower maternal blood pressure and which might increase blood flow to the placenta, reducing production of the chemicals that the placenta, which is shallowly implanted in preeclampsia, produces when it runs short of oxygen. Supplementation of l-arginine wouldn't change the initial shallow implantation of the placenta - or at least there is no known mechanism by which it might do this - but it might reduce or eliminate the symptoms of preeclampsia and allow delivery to be delayed.
Since smoking also causes many other pregnancy issues and lifelong health problems, and isn't a way to reduce overall pregnancy risk, it is never recommended - nor should it be - to pregnant women as a way to reduce risk of preeclampsia. So, the hope is that supplementing something to turn up production of NOS will reduce risk of preeclampsia while not causing the horrendous problems associated with smoking.
Notice the word "might" all over the place. Mostly, this is guessing based on the current understanding of how this particular biological mechanism works, given what we understand about it at the moment. It's a hypothesis that has to be confirmed by testing the world. So, how did the researchers test this idea?
L-arginine can be provided to pregnant women in a dietary supplement. The study was conducted by randomly sorting pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia into three groups and providing all three groups with nutritional bars to be eaten daily, starting at around 20 weeks gestation. One group got bars with both l-arginine and antioxidant vitamins, one received antioxidants alone, and the third group was given a placebo. The rate of diagnosis of preeclampsia was significantly lower in the group receiving both l-arginine and antioxidants than in the other groups.
So why is this still considered preliminary? Why aren't MFMs all recommending l-arginine supplementation to patients?
One reason is that this new study contradicts other recent studies. Another research team found that preeclamptics have a higher level of l-arginine in their bloodstreams even without supplementation, and also have a high level of a protein that keeps l-arginine from helping to form NOS. If preeclamptics are already walking around with high levels of l-arginine, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to suggest that even more would help lower their risk. Another recent trial of l-arginine supplementation in chronic hypertensives found that, while they needed fewer blood pressure medications during pregnancy, their rate of superimposed preeclampsia was the same as the control group. That might suggest that the population of chronic hypertensives wouldn't benefit from l-arginine supplementation at all, and that a new study would need to be conducted that excluded chronics from the trial.
It doesn't make sense to accept the study results we like, and ignore the ones we don't like – which makes it hard to know when to trust the research - so there will have to be further tests to determine why these studies don't agree with one another. It would really help to understand these inconsistent results before designing further research into supplementation; particularly, it would help to understand why l-arginine plus antioxidants seems to possibly do something l-arginine alone does not do.
Another reason is the way the technical diagnosis of preeclampsia could skew the results. Although it's true to say that, in this new study, fewer women supplemented with l-arginine and antioxidants met the diagnostic criteria for preeclampsia, that doesn't seem to have actually changed outcomes at all. Even if fewer women have blood pressure above 140/90, that is merely one measure of disease progression in preeclampsia, because blood pressure is just a symptom. The different groups still delivered at the similar gestational ages, had infants with similar needs for NICU time, had similar rates of Caesarean, and so forth. It's possible that preeclampsia was still occurring at the same rate in all populations, but that some women simply weren't diagnosed since currently diagnosis is based only on blood pressure readings and proteinuria. (Hopefully, a diagnostic test will soon be available that measures other factors including levels of soluble FLT and soluble endoglin in the maternal bloodstream, and that doesn't rely so strongly on blood pressure.) As the Experts are fond of saying, "treat patients, not diseases." Many women have developed seizures or abruptions or HELLP syndrome without developing a diagnostic level of hypertension.
As always, it's delightful to see serious research into potential preventative therapies for this disease. Even if preeclampsia rates cannot be reduced with something like a dietary supplement, finding a therapy which would allow delay of delivery for 48 hours – long enough for steroid shots to take effect – remains a high priority. If future studies confirm that supplementing l-arginine does lower maternal pressures safely, it might be able to be used to delay delivery of preterm infants until steroids are administered.

In order to lock religious votes -- especially Independents, Catholics (including Hispanic votes) and the highly-religious African-American community?
I ask this because I've had a helluva time keeping accounts going on liberal sites with forums. Now, maybe it's just me -- I freely admit to being an angry and vocal atheist -- but for the life of me, I can't keep accounts going on liberal/progressive sites like DU (democraticunderground.com) which is a choice news aggregator with generally more thoughtful forums.
I've tried being real nice, going so far as to play the role of appeaser. As soon as I make one tiny misstep, I'm outta there. Meanwhile, believers are free to make the most outrageously ignorant an bigoted statements and outlandish accusations and they are taken seriously.
Here's where religion and leftie politics crash together and whitecap. Atheists are inevitably shuffled off stage-left along with the proverbial Devil (literally, for once). We complicate the political calculus, and therefore, we're not welcome.
My latest banning from DU wasn't my first. That's where this story get's interesting. See, I'm a sneaky brat, and I used an IP-spoofer to get myself back into DU before I moved 1200 miles away. There's no way DU could have connected me back to my old, banned account.
Yet I was banned for no discernible reason, after I foolishly swapped emails with another banned DUer and hinted at my zombie status on the site. It was a sting! A setup! Just to catch zombies like little old me! (Alternative theories exist, but until further evidence comes in, I'm going with this one.) Fortunately I had the foresight to use a throwaway email and didn't mention my true identity.
It's cloak and dagger, man! Totally spy-vs-spy material, but playing out on everyday Joe Blows like me, instead of trained operatives like Jason Bourne or James Bond or James Brown. :) (Sorry, I got into a J.B. roll, there...)
Anyway, it's bullshit and I'm pissed. Any atheist on DU who has half a spine and half a brain gets shit-canned, while the bigot trolls continue provoking flamewar after flamewar. Fuck the motherfuckers.

Data protection fee to cost bigger orgs £500 a year
Don't pretend you can't afford it
Organisations with a turnover of £25.9 million or more and 250 or more staff will be required to pay the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) an annual notification fee of £500 with effect from 1st October. The current fee is just £35.
Notification is a requirement for 'data controllers' under the Data Protection Act. Every organisation that processes personal information must notify the ICO, unless they are exempt. Failure to notify is a criminal offence.
The higher rate will also apply to public authorities with 250 or more staff. Charities, small occupational pension schemes, organisations with a turnover below £25.9m and those with a higher turnover but fewer than 250 staff will continue to pay £35.
It is the first time the notification fee has changed since 2000. According to an explanatory memorandum from the Ministry of Justice, the higher fee payable by so-called 'tier two' organisations "reflects the amount of resources invested by the IC in regulating large data controllers."
The cost of fulfilling the ICO's data protection regulatory and advisory responsibilities is £16 million per year, according to the Ministry of Justice memo. The ICO's own research has indicated that less than 4 per cent of data controllers will meet the criteria for tier two.
"A tiered structure will increase ICO resources by approximately £4.7m per year," the memo suggests.
The notification process requires an organisation to explain its uses of personal information by completing a form. The details are stored in a register of data controllers that is available to the public for inspection. In practice, almost every organisation in the UK will process some personal data, though companies that only process personal data for payroll purposes are exempt.
The new levels were set by the Data Protection (Notification and Notification Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 which were laid before Parliament on Monday. The new fee structure will apply to notifications and renewals from 1st October.

With no category of their own, Caribbeans need many boxes to ID race, ethnicity on US CensusThursday, February 25th, 2010
The following story comes to us from the LA Times/Associated Press and echoes sentiments that have been expressed on this site for nearly a year. It is completely unfair to the people of Caribbean nations that they have no box to tick off. This lack of options will surely create a mess in identifying the actual origins and backgrounds of some two million Americans:
Jean-Robert Lafortune, chairman of the Haitian American Grassroots Coalition for Miami, poses for photos Friday,, Feb. 19, 2010 in Miami. He feels there should be more selections for Haitian Americans to identify themselves on the census forms other than Afro-American or Negro. (AP Photo/J Pat Carter) (J Pat Carter, AP / February 19, 2010)JENNIFER KAY Associated Press WriterMIAMI (AP) — Identify yourself as being of "Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin" on the 2010 U.S. Census questionnaire, and you will get to be more specific about your ancestry, such as Mexican-American, Cuban or Puerto Rican.
But check the box for "black, African-American or Negro" and there will be no place to show whether you trace your identity to the African continent, a Caribbean island or a pre-Civil War plantation.
Some Caribbean-American leaders are urging their communities to write their nationalities on the line under "some other race" on the forms arriving in mailboxes next month, along with checking the racial categories they feel identify them best.
It's another step in the evolution of the Census, which has moved well beyond general categories like "black" and "white" to allow people to identify themselves as multi-racial, and, in some cases, by national origin.
The wording of the questions for race and ethnicity changes with almost every Census, making room for the people who say, "I don't see how I fit in exactly," Census Bureau director Robert Groves told reporters in December. "This will always keep changing in this country as it becomes more and more diverse."
In another push tied to the 2010 Census, advocates are urging indigenous immigrants from Mexico and Central America to write in groups such as Maya, Nahua or Mixtec so the Census Bureau can tally them for the first time.
The campaign in the multiethnic Caribbean community reflects a tendency, born from multiple waves of migration, to establish identity first by country, then by race.
"We are completely undercounted because there isn't an accurate way of self-identifying for people from the Caribbean," said Felicia Persaud, chairwoman of CaribID 2010, a New York-based campaign to get a category on the census form for Caribbean-Americans or West Indians.
About 2.4 percent of the U.S. population — more than 6.8 million people — identified on the 2000 Census as belonging to two or more races. A little less than 1 percent of the population — more than 1.8 million people — wrote in their West Indian ancestry.
And about 874,000 people — or 0.3 percent of the population — ticked boxes for Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders that year. If those islanders could get their own categories on the form, Caribbean-American leaders say, why not their communities?
Their lobbying efforts led to a bill in Congress requiring a box to indicate Caribbean descent on the census form, but it did not pass.

Coming back to the phone, I have used Motorola Z Play earlier but I have lost that phone. So I had purchased this phone. It is a good upgrade and phone navigation is quite smooth and fast. Phone does not have any kind of heating issue. However, compared to Moto Z Play, they have reduced the battery capacity. Overall, It is a good phone.
I was using Moto Z2 earlier but had lost it and then I have purchased this phone. It is very nice built phone and gives you excellent grip. Camera is good and battery performance is also quite good. It lasts for almost a day to me with very heavy usage of Jio sim card. One can definitely buy this phone for sure.

The fascination surrounding O.J. Simpson, from his triumphs to his disgraces, owes a debt to timing.
His knack for charging through a fleeting instant of defensive daylight helped fuel his success as one of football's greatest running backs. Simpson's acquittal on double murder charges in 1995 can be attributed, at least in part, to the tight chronology of the killings presented by prosecutors – as well as to the shadow of police mistrust cast by then-fresh memories of the Rodney King debacle.
The brilliant FX mini-series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" arrived in February, packing added resonance and drawing power in the age of Black Lives Matter, a movement propelled to a great extent by police brutality caught on video. Now on Saturday, one day before the 22nd anniversary of the slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, ESPN's "O.J.: Made in America," a five-part, seven-hour-plus "30 for 30" documentary, is set to make its TV debut.
U.S. & World
The clock, it seems, never runs out on the O.J. Simpson story.
That's fortunate, in a sense, because time's biggest gift is perspective. The lightly fictionalized FX drama yielded insight in ways the live broadcast of the so-called Trial of the Century and all the endless news accounts and commentary of the period couldn't. "The People v. O.J. Simpson" also underscored how the case presaged our celebrity-saturated popular culture (giving us the first major dose of the Kardashian family) and round-the-clock coverage of non-world-shaking events, even before the internet dominated communications.
The new documentary, greeted by strong reviews, includes interviews with major players and attempts to put the trial into a context that's clearer than two decades ago, but no less divisive amid a presidential election season awash in racially and ethnically charged battles.
The timing of "O.J.: Made in America," premiering Saturday on ABC, also is playing out in at least one way that couldn't have been predicted. The recent death of Muhammad Ali likely will be on the minds of many viewers, perhaps spurring some to contrast the divergent paths of two superstar contemporaries who transcended sports.
O.J. Simpson won the Heisman Trophy in 1968, a year after Ali ignited a firestorm by refusing to report for Army duty, citing religious principle, and months after U.S. Olympian runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos flashed the Black Power salute when receiving their medals. Simpson's emergence as a personable, seemingly non-controversial African-American athlete made him marketable to white America beyond football, giving him lucrative sidelines as a pitchman, sportscaster and actor that outlasted his NFL run.
Yet in July 1996, less than a year after Simpson's acquittal made him a pariah to some former fans, Ali heard the cheers of America and the world as the boxing great, battling Parkinson's disease, lit the Olympic cauldron to start the Atlanta Games. Times, circumstances and the country had changed greatly.
Simpson, imprisoned on a 2007 robbery rap, is no doubt counting the days to when he becomes eligible for parole late next year at age 70, boding a new chapter in his saga.

This nightmare start to the New York Jets' season keeps growing a little darker.
The Jets' Pro Bowl center, Nick Mangold, left Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Houston Texans in the third quarter with an ankle injury, although he was able to return. The Jets' offense continues to thin out, however.
Wide receiver Clyde Gates left the game with a shoulder injury. Chaz Schilens doesn't look like an NFL-calber receiver, much less a starter. Jeremy Kerley is a No. 4 receiver masquerading as a top option.

I am happy to announce that this book is on it's way to a family member where it belongs.
I posted this book, The Alhambra, back in May. It belonged to Lena Doerfler and was dated Feb 15, 1904.
I was contacted by a grandson of Lena's and he should have this book any day now. He also let me know that the burial information I posted about her was actually for a different Lena.
This Lena was not buried in Ohio, but Macon, Georgia. She was interred in the William Wolff Cemetery in Macon, Georgia, Section 30, Lot K. She was born Jan 5, 1889 and died Nov 19, 1960. The source is "The Jewish Burials of Macon, Georgia: 1844-1997," by Marian Waxelbaum and Gus Bernd Kaufman.
Now let's see what else I can send home.

Weekly Astrology for December 26, 2016 by Chris Flisher
We are now well into the Mercury retrograde cycle that began on December 19th. �Mercury is gradually moving back through Capricorn �and will just step into Sagittarius before it turns and stations direct on January 8th. �While the popular notion that Mercury unwinds so many things including conversations, relationships and mechanical devices may be evident to many of us, we must also recognize some of the more positive aspects of the planet of communication. �One characteristic that remains prominent is that the retrograde allows us the opportunity to review that which has happened. �In that regard, this retrograde cycle may provide us with the ability to re-evaluate where we are. �Are we as bad off as we thought? �Have we made false assumptions? �How do we move forward? �All of these are valid questions that may surface during this period. �In such a complex, connected world, there may be much that will shed a far different light than we originally imagined. �This is not a guarantee but perhaps an opportunity to have an antidote to what we have experienced as of late. �When we are open to possibilities we grant ourselves much more levity and time to reconsider the best direction to take. �A careful review may be in order for all of us, so the timing is perfect for such a conversation.

Watford opened their pre-season campaign with a 1-0 win at SK Austria Klagenfurt this evening.
The only goal of the game came in the 26th minute when a fine pass from Sean Murray put new signing Lloyd Dyer through one-on-one and he duly beat the Klagenfurt keeper.
All five of Watford's summer arrivals to date were named in the starting line-up and, perhaps significantly, there was a change in formation to 4-3-3 from the 3-5-2 that has been used for the majority of the past two seasons.
With Heurelho Gomes in goal, there was a new Hornets central defensive partnership as Gabriel Tamas and Craig Cathcart lined up together, while the returning Matej Vydra and Lloyd Dyer were either side of Mathias Ranegie in a front three.
Lewis McGugan and Vydra had opportunities before Dyer netted what turned out to be the only goal of the match when Murray released the former Leicester City winger on the angle and he made the most his chance.
Former Tottenham Hotspur keeper Gomes was called into his first serious involvement five minutes after the interval, making a good save after a Klagenfurt corner had deflected off the legs of Daniel Pudil.
Murray curled an effort narrowly over soon after before Pudil, now playing on the left of midfield, released his fellow Czech Vydra in another one-on-one opening, but he was denied by the home side's keeper.
A good Hornets 'debut' by Gomes ended with 11 minutes to go when he made way for 16-year-old Academy stopper Nathan Gartside as Watford continued to press for a second goal in the closing stages.
Watford: Gomes (Gartside 79); Brown (Doyley 46), Tamas (Hoban 46), Cathcart (Ekstrand 46), Pudil; Battocchio, Murray (Doherty 71), McGugan (Smith 56); Vydra (O'Nien 79), Ranegie (Fabbrini 46), Dyer (Jakubiak 64).

text: The "new normal" will not be kind to these funds and others like them. Look at your funds for these danger signals. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist December 8, 2011 Bill Miller was the closest thing the mutual fund world had to a rock star since Peter Lynch retired as manager of Fidelity Magellan (symbol FMAGX) in 1990. But when Miller stepped down as manager of Legg Mason Value Trust (LMVTX) in November, he left behind a record decimated by six years of miserable performance. SEE ALSO: Our Special Report on How to Be a Better Investor Legg Mason Value had famously beaten Standard & Poor's 500-stock index 15 years in a row, a feat that has never been matched. But Miller's hot streak turned ice-cold in 2006, and it remained that way to the very end of his tenure on Value. And Legg Mason Value is hardly the only once-popular fund that I think you should sell. My reasoning is that the market environment today, following the disastrous 2007-09 downturn, is far different from what it was during the heyday of the bull market of the 1980s and 1990s. Advertisement I'm confident that stocks will provide better returns over the next several years than they did during the first decade of the new century. But expecting annual returns of 10% or 15% is, in my view, naïve and dangerous. (For the record, between 1982 and 1999, Standard & Poor's 500-stock index delivered calendar-year returns of more than 30% on five occasions and between 20% and 30% on five more occasions.) We've been in a "new normal" environment since 2007. Stock and bond returns have been below par, and the economy has grown at a slower than normal pace -- with heightened risks of downturns. The new normal is likely to last for several more years. Following are five often-praised funds that I think you should sell. For each fund, I single out one dangerous trait, but, in truth, all of these funds display multiple risks. Legg Mason Value The secret to Bill Miller's success was that he never gave up on a stock. The more it tumbled in price, the more he bought. So when the stock finally turned upward, Miller held a boatload of shares. Advertisement What's different now? Miller recently gave The New York Times the answer. "Contrarian value-based investing just isn't working anymore," he said. "Stocks go down further than the historic metrics would indicate -- and they stay down." The lesson: Be careful of value managers who specialize in badly beaten-up companies. Look at Miller's recent record. Over the past five years, Value lost an annualized 9.4%, while Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was roughly flat (all returns in this article are through December 6). Recent results have been so pathetic that they make Miller's long-term record look like the work of an amateur. Over the past 15 years, Value now trails the S&P 500 by more than one percentage point per year, on average. Miller, by the way, remains at the helm of Legg Mason Opportunity (LMOPX), a smaller fund that is more aggressive than Value and has done even worse in recent years. If you own Opportunity, sell it, too. Longleaf Partners (LLPFX) Longleaf Partners is a highly regarded fund. In fact, Morningstar just named it one of a handful of "gold" funds, which under a new forward-looking rating methodology is the rating firm's strongest endorsement. I respect Morningstar, but I think its analysis is wrong this time. Advertisement The problem: Longleaf is too volatile. Based on the past five years, the fund is one-third more volatile than the S&P. Eventually, funds almost always pay the price for high volatility. (See VALUE ADDED: Consider a Fund's Volatility -- or Risk Paying a High Price.) Over the past ten and 15 years, Longleaf still ranks in the top 12% among funds that invest in large companies with both a value and growth bent. But Longleaf lost 64.8% in the 2007-09 bear market, compared with a 55.3% drop for the S&P index. Despite good performance since, the fund has lost an annualized 3% over the past five years and ranks in the bottom 10% among its peers for that period. Longleaf, like Miller, buys a handful of deeply depressed stocks that it thinks will recover, then holds on patiently. The managers, who are hardworking and highly disciplined, pay no attention to sector weightings. A compact portfolio such as Longleaf's typically leads to high volatility. And when the economy is fragile, stocks in the bargain bin sometimes just keep going down. Bridgeway Aggressive Investors 1 (BRAGX) This fund was long one of my favorites. John Montgomery writes computer programs that pick stocks to buy and sell. For fear that others would copy his methods, potentially undermining his performance, Montgomery refuses to share too many details. The lesson: Beware of investment disciplines you don't fully understand. Advertisement The 2007-09 bear market was Bridgeway Aggressive's Waterloo. It plunged 64.4%, 9.2 percentage points more than the S&P. Over the past five years, the fund lost an annualized 6.4%, an average of six percentage points per year worse than the S&P. The fund's 15-year record is still fairly good. But that's all that's left. CGM Focus (CGMFX) CGM Focus still boasts a fabulous long-term record but little else. Over the past ten years, Focus returned an annualized 7.8%. That's an average of 5.1 percentage points per year better than the S&P and good enough to place the fund in the top 1% among large-company-growth funds. Manager Ken Heebner is known for his huge, and rapidly changing, sector bets. When he is on, his results are scintillating. But this isn't Heebner's kind of market. He has beaten the market only twice in the past five years. Over that stretch, the fund lost an annualized 1.7%, including a 22.7% loss so far this year. The lesson of CGM Focus is to avoid funds that try to time their exit and entry into a market sector or two. Today's market is too unforgiving of bad bets. Being bold is generally a bad idea. Fairholme Fund (FAIRX) I don't mean to pick on Bruce Berkowitz, about whom I recently wrote critically. But hubris is such a dangerous trait in a fund manager that you should always be on the lookout for it. When a manager doesn't have a talented team of analysts supporting him -- or when the analysts he does have keep leaving -- when a manager, in other words, is practically working solo, be very careful before you invest. Some superb managers, notably Oakmark's David Herro, are as humble and cautious as can be but have trouble holding onto analysts. But Herro, who runs Oakmark International (OAKIX), is part of a great firm. Berkowitz runs his own firm, and he calls the shots. Therein lies the problem. There is no one to rein him in. Like the other funds in this article, Fairholme boasts a great long-term record. Over the past ten years, the fund returned an annualized 7.5%, an average of 4.8 points per year better than the S&P. But so far in 2011, it has tumbled 27.9%. Berkowitz's mistake: He put more than 75% of Fairholme's stock assets into financial companies. I believe Berkowitz made the mistake of believing his own press clippings. Now his shareholders are paying the price. Steven T. Goldberg (bio) is an investment adviser in the Washington, D.C. area.

Most private hospitals can only dream of the futuristic medicine Dr. Divya Shroff practices today. Outside an elderly patient's room, the attending physician gathers her residents around a wireless laptop propped on a mobile cart. Shroff accesses the patient's entire medical history--a stack of paper in most private hospitals. And instead of trekking to the radiology lab to view the latest X-ray, she brings it up on her computer screen. While Shroff is visiting the patient, a resident types in a request for pain medication, then punches the SEND button. Seconds later, the printer in the hospital pharmacy spits out...
