They are the longest nerves in the body, and affect swallowing, speech, intestinal function, and circulation. The vagus nerves also connect to parts of the brain involved in seizures. In some seizure disorders, electrical stimulation of the vagus nerves may relieve symptoms.

A native of Milwaukee, the late Evan P. Helfaer built an outstanding record of corporate and philanthropic leadership. From 1932-57, he served as president of Lakeside Laboratories and guided the pharmaceutical firm to a position of international prominence. Helfaer gave Marquette more than $4 million, including $500,000 in unrestricted support, $1.6 million to construct the Evan P. and Marian Helfaer Theater, $2 million to build the Helfaer Tennis Stadium and Recreation Center, and a major sum to equip the top two floors of the Todd Wehr Chemistry Building.
Many of Helfaers gifts memorialize his wife, who died in 1968. Marion Helfaer, like her husband, maintained a lifelong interest in Milwaukee activities, particularly the arts. Evan Helfaer died in February 1974. Rev. John P. Raynor, S.J., Marquettes president at the time, said in honoring Helfaer, "We are grateful that he has bequeathed to us his hope for the future and his love for his fellow man."

What's up Detroit? 2 Men Exchange Gun Fire After An Argument Over Who Could Make The Best Kool Aid!
"Witnesses say two men in the Brightmoor neighborhood were so passionate about the way they make Kool-Aid, they started arguing with each other over who does it better. Sadly, that fight took a horrifying turn when they both pulled out guns and started firing at each other. Again, this was over Kool-Aid." - ANDREA ISOM of 2 News.. Submitted by qianahill92

The gibbons' whooping song is the defining melody of the Bornean dawn chorus. They tend to only sing on days that promise to be fine, and so one's spirits always rise on hearing them, assisted by the expectation of a great local cup of coffee and the resinous smell of woodsmoke.
I'm a research scientist at the Arnold Arboretum, and this is how days begin on our expedition to the inner valley of Gunung Palung National Park, in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. After several years of proposal-writing and pilot work, and several months of logistics preparation, we have just begun the fieldwork for our new National Science Foundation-funded project on the biogeography, ecology and informatics of Indonesian trees. 'We' includes co-PI Sarah Mathews, senior Indonesian collaborator Teguh Triono, and a large number of supporters. Our research project will document the forest composition at five sites in Indonesia, which, combined with DNA analysis of all the trees, will help us understand how different groups of trees have moved historically through the region, and how their differences in drought tolerance have evolved.
This blog (or should I say "Webb blog!"), will share some of our experiences over the next three years in the remote forests in Indonesia. I hope to convey some of the fun (and frustrations) of doing field biology, and the excitement of analyzing and sharing information and photos about beautiful, threatened plants.
We hiked into this site last Tuesday (March 29) from the nearest village. It was an eight-hour trek, through heavily (illegally) logged forest and finally into the pristine core of this precious but embattled national park. Along the way, we saw a female orangutan with baby, and a sun bear, encouraging signs that despite the logging and hunting the wildlife in this valley is persevering. The core team, which has worked with me over the last two years, includes two local para-taxonomists (Acun Hery Yanto, a recent forestry graduate from the local Tanjung Pura University, and Endro Setiawan, a member of the park staff) and two tree climbers, Edy and 'WX' (yes, that's really his name!). We are joined on this trip by four local villagers: Suryadi, Misjan, Hermanto, and Kasa. In addition, we hired five extra people to help carry a month's supplies to the site.
Arriving not long before dark, we had to choose a campsite. Acun and Endro had done a pre-trip survey in January and picked a nice spot on a bank of the main river that drains the interior basin of Gunung Palung. However, when we arrived, we saw that the site was mostly swept clean of leaf litter, a sure sign that the river had recently flooded through this spot. We instead chose a safer site one hundred meters downstream on the main river above a smaller tributary stream. Hanging a large, blue plastic sheet between two trees was all it took to make a temporary camp for the night.
The next day, everyone got to work setting up a more permanent camp, situated to avoid cutting any trees. We now have three shelters: a cooking and supplies tent, a main sleeping tent, and a research area. Acun and Endro are sleeping in a yellow dome tent, I'm in my wonderful Hennessy hammock, and the locals have stretched rice sacks between poles to make comfortable camp beds. We also brought a small gasoline generator to power our three laptops and to charge cameras and cell phones. We didn't know if there would be any cell phone signal in the valley, but on the following day we scouted for coverage and found a very weak signal from a hilltop Indosat tower a half-hour hike away. Indonesians are enthusiastic consumers of all forms of social networking media, and everyone on the team brought their phones. Although the signal is too weak for reliable phone calls, text messages work fine.
All in all, quite a pleasant setup. I'm pleased to report that the ants and mosquitoes are far less annoying here than in our house in nearby Sukadana. The leeches and seed ticks, on the other hand, are quite numerous!

yep but only the freesat channels, nothing else
hiya, i have a Samsung tv model ue46f6670
it has a connection on the
back for freesat, would i be right in
thinking if i had a sat dish, (which i dont have yet)
it would pick up channels, tia
if its a smart tv u can install smart iptv and watch loads of channels but u will need to get a iptv server.
with that all u will need is ethernet conection no dish or aerial.
all u will need to do is give the server the mac address of the tv and the server will activate your tv..
but iptv is expensive however u will get tons of channels ....
and it works as well as on a mag box.but u wont get catch up tv or vod from the server that only works on a mag box.
it also works on lg smart tv.
you will need to look up how to install smart iptv u have to login into the tv as developer and install it that way its easy enough though,
thats if u wanted to go down that route.
a small video showing it...

Just this week, when I thought I had found all I could find on the nine children of Francis Sr and Charity Banta Montfort, a sudden whim took me to Heritage Quest online through my local library. Browsing the 1840 census for Indiana, I located the daughter I thought had died soon after her marriage. Now the challenge will be to find names for those children listed with her on that head of household names only census. Life as a family historian has been vastly simplified with more credible information being posted online.
My goal for the past year has been to trace down each of the nine children of Francis and Charity as far as possible and locating descendants who may be starting to search their own family history. I am glad to share via email or through this blog and a website as well as on rootsweb, what I've found in over 55 years of asking questions and searching courthouses and libraries.
The nine children are :
Rachel and Catherine who married the Voris brothers, John and Francis
Marya who married Stephen Terhune
Charity who married Cornelius Luyster/Lyster
Henry who married his first cousin Catherine Montfort and moved to Ohio
John Calvin who married Nancy Agnes Mitchell and then Ruth Gess
Francis Jr who was married to his cousin Polly Banta [and my line of interest]
Jacob who married his cousin Margaret/Peggy Banta then Nancy Lineback
Sarah or Sallie who never married.
John Calvins line pretty much stayed in Kentucky and were fairly easy to trace. Several of his descendants have also been actively working on this line and shared their work with me. Catherine's line was simplified in recent communications with some of her descendants both in Indiana and in Kentucky. Though a slow bit of work at first, I've been able to locate descendants of Marya Montfort Terhune as they moved into Indiana and then westward. Henry was a bit more of a challenge as he married and moved to Ohio with his cousin/bride and till I located online Ohio information, that line had come to a standstill till recently.
Those that went to the Shakers in the early 1800's were complicated at first but access to the original Shaker journals at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky helped with the lines of Rachel Voris and her children, Jacob and his interesting association with the Shakers, Francis Jr and the youngest daughter Sarah. Once the children of these four left the Shakers, I then had to resort to the usual means of investigation; courthouses, libraries and census records but while some of them were a challenge, I've not only found most all of their descendants but found several descendants interested in their family history.
My own line through Francis Jr was easy once I got beyond his joining the Shakers. His brother Jacob led an interesting life with the Shakers and his expulsion in 1836 led me to Indiana and finally at least one descendant who is interested in the familyhistory.
That left Charity who married Cornelius Luyster and moved to Indiana...till this week. I now have her living till sometime in the 1840's as she is no longer living in the 1850 census. She had moved to Jackson County, Indiana and I believe soon I'll be able to figure out who the children are as they are only listed by age in that particular census. At least I know now she did have children and there are descendants still to locate.
This week after I found the information I had been seeking on Charity Montfort Lyster, I received emails from a Montfort descendant in California on a line I've been bringing down to the current generation. From my beginnings in the 1950's when it seemed NO one was looking into this family, suddenly the interest has become a groundswell and I'm happy to share what I have with any and all.
All of that came on the heels of locating the three daughters of my grandmothers Uncle James Montfort, who had gone to Texas. My grandmother started all this by telling me the names of her aunts and uncles and what little details she had of each but this particular uncle was never mentioned. I was able to locate him through a census showing him to be the eldest son in the family and shortly after that he married and moved south, then west to Texas where he disappeared for a time. My grandmother was very young when she lost both her parents and was shuttled back and forth between kith and kin till old enough to live and care for her older brothers till she married. I find it amazing to know the stories and names she was able to tell me have all been proven, even the one where she missed out on a large inheritance because she had moved to Indiana and couldn't be located.
A recent addition to research came across in a message posted on the Dutch-Colonies discussion group about 6 weeks ago....and I finally had an opportunity to try it out this past week. WOW, what a boost to genealogy. I was able through this search program locate those three daughters of James Francis Montfort who went to Texas...found his death certificate as well as that of his second wife, one of the daughters and several grandchildren. It also will pull up fairly easy to read census records and is constantly adding more information to the search engine.
The site I am praising is at http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0
I think there might be an easier way to find it but that is how its listed on my favorites.
That is all for this post, I may come back and edit or add more later as my mind recalls something specific I want to note here.

New ways to deliver water
Mamtoai puts her blue token key into the slot of the standpost and out flows water.
It is an early spring morning in October and the sun shines brightly in Lower Ha Thetsane, an area of Maseru, Lesotho, where Mamtoai lives. Other women and young kids are busy chatting as they wait for their turn to collect water. Mamtoai fills up her 20-liter plastic container, snaps the lid tight and raises it up in the air to carry the heavy load on the crown of her head.
The installation of pre-paid water standposts that provide piped and treated water in Ha Thetsane is recent. The distance to a communal tap, installed long ago when the area was a rural settlement, used to be far longer. If pipes or taps were broken, water would be lost and turn the earth floor into mud. The cost of water tanked by local entrepreneurs to these peripheral areas could vary hugely - invariably much higher than the formal regulated water system. To expand water distribution, Lesotho's largest utility the Water and Sewerage Company WASCO has installed water standposts into areas like Ha Thetsane.

A few weeks ago we were invited to a football training session to launch the McDonald's Football Mum of the Year Awards. The kids were so excited but unfortunately Noah came down with Scarlet Fever and that was that we couldn't go! It was a real shame as Noah has recently started showing an interest in football (Isla likes a kick about too, but her focus is on gymnastics lately) and we've bought him a kit and he's been to a few training classes. I was disappointed as I really wanted to go and take away some training exercises to do in the garden and who could be a better teacher than Casey Stoney, England and Arsenal Ladies player.
The McDonald's Football Mum of the Year Award will recognise mums who put in countless unpaid hours of hard work, so that their children and their friends can enjoy playing football. Coleen Rooney, mum to two football-mad sons and wife of one of England's most prolific strikers, is calling for people across the UK to nominate a deserving 'football mum' in their lives who goes beyond the call of duty so that children can experience the joy of playing football, week-in week-out.
I'm already beginning to experience 'child taxi syndrome' on a Saturday, when I take Noah to football training, then Isla on to gymnastics. They're only 3 and 5 years old at the moment, so I know that as they get older all their activities will take up a lot of man hours and energy, so the idea that parents can have their efforts recognised is really appealing!
From time consuming tasks such as running kids to training and matches that can be hours away and managing their team kits, to helping run their child's local team, or even starting a local team simply so their children and their friends can play; the awards are an opportunity to acknowledge their selflessness.
McDonald's Football Mum of the Year ambassador, Coleen Rooney, said: "I'm so excited about this award. I live in a football-mad house and know how much goes into just getting the kids to training and making the time to watch them play every week, so I can only imagine the amazing nominations we're going to receive for this. Dads tend to get the credit a lot of the time for coaching teams or teaching their kids how to play, so this award will give people a chance to shout about the hard work mums do on and off the pitch."
England and Arsenal Ladies player and mum-of-twins, Casey Stoney, is also supporting the awards and will sit on the judging panel alongside representatives from across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
McDonald's Head of Women and Girls Football, Casey Stoney, said: "I started my career at the grassroots of football, and as a new mum I can already see how important this award is from both sides of the fence. There are so many mums who help to run their child's club or volunteer at the clubhouse to help raise funds so the kids can play. It's so important to recognise them when you consider that they're also often juggling childcare and work on top. I cannot wait to have a kick about with the twins in a few years!"
Coleen Rooney will present the Football Mum of the Year Award to the winner at a special ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 2nd August.
Nominations for the McDonald's Football Mum of the Year Award are now open and will close on 19th June 2015. To nominate a mum you know go to:

Akhil, Dahlia, Eric, and Kenji—
Thank you for your extraordinarily thoughtful and interesting comments.
Immersing ourselves in Marbury v. Madison, David McKean and I were struck by the gap between the public appreciation of Marbury—which includes a range of Supreme Court justices—and the widespread academic contempt for the decision. (Kenji, your admiration of Marbury, at least for its "rhetorical" achievement, is as welcome as it is unusual.) We think that the public and the justices have much the better of the argument.
In many ways, David and I set out to put Marbury in its original context—a drama followed closely by the popular newspapers of the day and vigorously discussed in taverns and parlors throughout the nation, rather than the subject of academic conferences with participants vying for the best line of attack. Eric, you object that we devote only a very brief discussion to the academic assaults on Marbury. Precisely. The wide-ranging academic denunciations of Marbury are frequently contradictory, and, quite frankly, we do not think they are the best way to approach or understand the case. Marbury v. Madison does not belong just to lawyers, law students, and law professors. It is a powerful, riveting story of politics, history, and our national identity, rife with implications for today's issues and debates.
We do outline the major schools of criticism. Many of the comments on Marbury that have been raised in the discussion in these pages fall comfortably in one or another of those established lines of attack—for example, that Marbury's role is exaggerated (one of your suggestions, Eric); that the decision reflects manipulation by John Marshall (a frequent comment in the posts); that subsequent generations have twisted Marbury to mean something different than it meant at the time (one of your submissions, Akhil); and that Marshall's craftsmanship was mediocre (your C+ grade for the decision, Dahlia). Kenji, you raise an entirely different point—that many, including us, actually fail to give Marbury sufficient credit for its craftsmanship. You are right that David and I were determined to keep the book accessible for the general reader, and perhaps we could have highlighted the judicial wizardry of the opinion more than we did.
Certain characteristics about Marbury v. Madison are, I think, indisputable. Marbury was the first Supreme Court decision ever to strike down an act of Congress as unconstitutional. Marbury stands for the authority of the Supreme Court to have and to exercise that power. The Supreme Court's possession of that power is a fundamental characteristic of the American rule of law. None of that reasonably can be challenged.
And now to the disputable, but, to my mind, persuasive next point. Even though there are other possible legal models (such as the European examples which you mention, Eric), the American rule of law (of which Marbury and the principle for which it stands are a lynchpin) has been and remains, for all of its occasional imperfections and difficulties and for all of our vehement disagreements about particular issues and cases, the most protective of liberties and rights in the world. That is why, as professor A.E. Dick Howard testified to Congress, nations around the world look to Marbury as an inspiration when they are crafting institutions to safeguard the rule of law.
The gap between the public view and the academic view of Marbury is perhaps most clearly shown in Akhil's comment about our statement early in the book that Marbury is "considered the greatest decision in American law." Objection, says Akhil—considered by whom? Certainly not by the academy. Well, as we said in the book, the National Archives displays Marbury to throngs of visitors as "one of the cornerstones of the American constitutional system" right after its display of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Later in the book, we also explain that no less than former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and Justice John Paul Stevens are among those who also have hailed the greatness of Marbury.
For some of you, that perspective may not be as notable as the academic criticisms of Marbury. But, in our view, the achievement of Marbury, as the first case in which the Supreme Court strikes down an act of Congress as unconstitutional, warrants the place that the public and the justices have given it—as a "great decision" that has served us exceedingly well.
Let me close with a story that, for me, illustrates the continuing power and force of Marbury. When I clerked for Judge J. Skelly Wright on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, we had a case in which a federal agency seemed to be ignoring the D.C. Circuit's view of the law. One of my co-clerks wrote a draft opinion for the judge's review, which began with the famous words of Marbury—"It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." Judge Wright came into our clerks' room, flipping the draft in his hands, and said, "You know, when you see Marbury v. Madison first thing in the morning, it really wakes you up." That's what Marbury does for us as a people. It wakes us up to the rule of law, and to the importance of that fundamental principle.
Thanks again for your close attention to The Great Decision.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH Service scientists in Oxford, Miss., have devised a new method for evaluating streams and rivers impaired by sediment.
Hydraulic engineer Roger A. Kuhnle and geologist Andrew Simon at the ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory (msa.ars.usda.gov/ms/oxford/nsl) are focusing on streams with clean sediments free of chemical contaminants. The two are developing numeric targets for maximum sediment for streams in different regions, since the amount of sediment a stream can handle varies greatly in different parts of the country.
The research involves analyzing and compiling previously collected waterflow and sediment data, along with field data on the stability of a given stream. Kuhnle and Simon will then develop target values for clean sediment that correspond to unimpaired streams in other regions.
All streams and rivers have the ability to handle a certain load of sediment without being damaged, but the difficulty is in estimating that load. Bodies of water that receive too much sediment potentially require a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) assessment.
A TMDL is the level of pollution a body of water can tolerate and still meet water quality standards set by the states, territories and tribes. It also identifies both appropriate uses for each water body — as, for example, drinking water supply, contact recreation such as swimming, or aquatic life support — and the scientific criteria to support such use. Section 303 of the Clean Water Act establishes the water quality standards and TMDL programs.
Eventually, the new procedure will help identify streams especially vulnerable to sedimentation. It should also make it possible to relate the target values for clean-sediment TMDLs to designated uses of the streams and rivers in different regions.

Wendell W. Young III, 74, the former president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 and a union leader who was a longtime activist for many social justice causes, died Jan. 1 of liver cancer at his home in Lafayette Hill.
Mr. Young, who at 23 became one of the youngest labor leaders in Pennsylvania, expanded what was then the Retail Clerks Union Local 1357 with 4,000-members into an organization representing more than 24,000 retail and non-retail employees, including insurance agents, health-care professionals, barbers and hairdressers.
But Mr. Young's concerns went far beyond labor issues. He was one of the few union leaders to publicly oppose the war in Vietnam, and he was equally as outspoken on civil rights and the environment.
Growing up in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia, he worked part-time at an Acme market while he was a sophomore at Northeast Catholic High School. When he became active in the union, his fellow workers elected him a shop steward, and in 1962 he was elected president of the union.
During his 43-year tenure as union president, Mr. Young arranged a merger with a meat cutters' union, giving his union a broader base. He also was instrumental in preventing the sale of Acme markets by presenting management with a plan to have employees buy the company. The plan was rejected, but the stores were taken off the market.
When A&P stores were about to go out of business in 1981, he helped to develop a plan that led to the creation of the SuperFresh chain.
Mr. Young held various positions in the AFL-CIO's state chapter and from 1995 until his retirement in 2005 hosted a weekly talk show, "Talking Unions," on WHAT-FM 1340 that discussed activities of the American labor movement.
He also was a leading advocate for the retention of Pennsylvania's state liquor store system, whose employees are members of Local 1776. Mr. Wendell's son, Wendell Young IV, is now president of the union.
Mr. Young was an adjunct professor at St. Joseph's University, where he graduated in 1960 with a degree in political science. He later received a master's degree in business administration from Rutgers University.
In addition to his son Wendell, he is survived by his wife, Katherine; sons Brian, Scott, Eric, Brendan and Matthew, and 13 grandchildren.
A funeral Mass was celebrated Jan. 7 at St. Philip Neri Church in Lafayette Hill. – WF

Recently, the government sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, announced new losses, bringing the total tally to $126 billion. It barely registered as news. There is a chance, not a great chance, but a chance nonetheless, that the support thrown at the banks is not all money down the drain. But the chances are slim to none that either Fannie or Freddie will be able to pay back the funds. It is highly likely that taxpayers will lose well over $2000 billion and it may well pass $300 billion. When the history of the crisis is all written, these institutions will turn out to be the most costly of the financial sector, and this sector includes A.I.G., Citigroup and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch.
Why are the GSEs so costly? Why aren't people up in arms? In a recent op-ed in the NY Post, I offer some possibilities. See the following link:

On-stage dancers and a large duck were just some of the highlights of the Duck Sauce performance Sunday night in the
Sahara tent on the last day of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
The house music duo of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden mixed their original music and blends of other songs and vocals to send the festival crowd home happy.
Their set used multi-colored visuals on the large screens inside the tent promoting their album "Quack" along with showing images of animated women in thongs and showing different celebrities with duck bills on their faces.
One of the loudest responses the group received was for their infectious hit "Barbara Streisand," but they also received lots of cheers for "Big Bad Wolf" as well as other mixes.
Brendon Cammack, 27, of Indiana said he enjoyed the Duck Sauce set because of A-Trak's live DJ skills.
"A-Trak is one of my favorite DJ's because he actually spins live," Cammack said, adding that he said he stood outside of the Sahara tent because of how packed it was inside to enjoy the performance.

Close your eyes and let visions of white begin to dance in your heads. We've got another classic movie party inspiration guaranteed to make your next ring-a-ding-shindig shine as bright as a thousand Christmas lights!
Welcome to Pine Tree, Vermont
Hearing Bing Crosby croon White Christmas instantly puts us in the mood for hot cocoa and a warm fire. But you don't have to just dream about the perfect holiday: by incorporating soft textures, a little shimmy-shimmer, and lots of white, you can create your own glamorous and idyllic wonderland.
In the movie, Wallace (Crosby) and Davis (Danny Kaye) bring their entire Broadway show to Pine Tree, Vermont, to help save their beloved General's inn. And while you won't need to make room for a cast of hundreds, you'll want enough space to keep your guests entertained, which starts with your seating. The Bianca two-piece sectional is a fantastic fit for our all-white theme, with a sleek outline that adds design interest and a swanky feel. For a more fluid look, try the Nero two-piece sectional from ROMA. This Art Van Furniture exclusive is also upholstered in white leather, and we like the way the chaise's round end gives you an unexpected seating spot. Invite a couple of arm chairs to join in and you've got a conversation hot spot. Your guests will also get a kick out of the convenient and unique Pantinoire Collection. The versatile nesting tables give you a large and small surface, while the sofa table can easily be turned into a serving station.
Now the movie is also a love story, so make sure the fireplace is going strong so couples can snuggle on the sofa underneath plush white blankets. Keep good cheer flowing all night long by turning a sideboard into a makeshift bar area and serve signature drinks that relate to the movie like Irving Berlin Eggnog or Clooney Cranberry Coolers, so that at the end of the movie everyone can raise their glass and jovially sing, May your days be merry and bright; and may all your Christmases be white.
Serve up one of Annabel Cohen's palate party pleasers and you may find it hard to get your guests to leave!
There are many recipe for eggnog – I like this one because it's creamy and mellow with touch of cinnamon.
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup rum, brandy, cognac, whiskey or bourbon
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Combine yolks and 1/3-cup sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the milk, cream, cinnamon and nutmeg and bring just to a boil, whisking frequently. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk a ladleful of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the hot milk mixture. Chill until cool.
In another bowl, whip the cream soft peaks. Fold or whisk cream into the milk mixture. Serve cold. Makes 8 servings.
Clooney Cranberry Coolers
1 can (6 ounces) frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 can (6 ounces) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
4 cups cranberry (or cranberry-raspberry) juice cocktail, chilled
1 liter ginger ale
Fresh lemon and lime slices
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or pitcher. Serve chilled or over ice. Makes 12 or more servings.
Cozy Tomato Cheddar Cider Fondue
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 cup finely chopped (or petite diced) drained canned tomatoes
1/4 cup apple cider
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
4 cups finely grated Cheddar cheese
Heat olive oil and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until much of the liquid of the tomatoes is absorbed. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cider and add the pan. Slowly stir in the cheese (a handful at a time) until melted. Keep warm (do not boil!). Serve with fresh French bread cubes. Makes 8-12 servings

An Overview of Videx (Didanosine)
November 16, 2017
Brand Name: Videx EC, Videx
Didanosine can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include swelling of the pancreas (pancreatitis), a buildup of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis), and liver problems.
There have been reports of death in pregnant women who get lactic acidosis after taking didanosine and stavudine (another HIV medicine; brand name: Zerit). Therefore, the combination of didanosine and stavudine should be used with caution in pregnant women and is recommended only if the potential benefit clearly outweighs the potential risk.
Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms that could be signs of pancreatitis:
Contact your health care provider right away if you have the following symptoms that may be signs of lactic acidosis:
Contact your health care provider right away if you have the following symptoms that may be signs of liver problems:
While taking didanosine, it is important to keep all of your appointments with your health care provider.
What Is Didanosine?
Didanosine is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in adults and children 2 weeks of age and older. Didanosine is always used in combination with other HIV medicines.
Didanosine belongs to a class (group) of HIV drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). NRTIs block an HIV enzyme called reverse transcriptase. (An enzyme is a protein that starts or increases the speed of a chemical reaction.) By blocking reverse transcriptase, NRTIs prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body.
HIV medicines can't cure HIV/AIDS, but taking a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV regimen) every day helps people with HIV live longer, healthier lives. HIV medicines also reduce the risk of HIV transmission. If you are taking HIV medicines, including didanosine, don't cut down on, skip, or stop taking them unless your health care provider tells you to.
What Should I Tell My Health Care Provider Before Taking Didanosine?
Before taking didanosine, tell your health care provider:
How Should I Take Didanosine?
Didanosine comes in capsule form for use in adults and children 6 years of age or older who can safely swallow capsules and weigh at least 44 lb (20 kg). The capsules come in 4 strengths, all under the brand name Videx EC:
Didanosine also comes in a powder that is mixed with water by a pharmacist to create an oral solution. An oral solution is a mixture of a medicine and a liquid that can be taken by mouth. The powder for oral solution can be used in adults and in children 2 weeks of age and older. The powder for oral solution comes in two strengths, both under the brand name Videx:
Take didanosine according to your health care provider's instructions.
Both didanosine capsules and didanosine oral solution should be taken on an empty stomach. Do not take didanosine with food. Take didanosine oral solution at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after you eat. Swallow the didanosine capsule whole; do not break, crush, dissolve, or chew it.
Some medicines should not be taken at the same time of day that you take didanosine. Talk to your health care provider about other medicines that you take.
Always take didanosine in combination with other HIV medicines.
If you take too much didanosine, contact your health care provider or local poison control center (1-800-222-1222) right away, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
For more information on how to take didanosine, see the FDA drug labels for didanosine capsules (brand name: Videx EC) and didanosine powder for oral solution (brand name: Videx), from DailyMed. (DailyMed is a federal website that includes the most recent drug labels submitted to FDA.)
What Should I Do if I Forget a Dose?
If you miss a dose of didanosine, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and just take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
What Side Effects Can Didanosine Cause?
Didanosine may cause side effects. Many side effects from HIV medicines, such as nausea or occasional dizziness, are manageable. See the AIDSinfo fact sheet on HIV Medicines and Side Effects for more information.
Some side effects of didanosine can be serious. Serious side effects of didanosine include swelling of the pancreas (pancreatitis), a buildup of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis), and liver problems. (See the WARNING box above.)
Other possible side effects of didanosine include:
Tell your health care provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of didanosine. To learn more about possible side effects of didanosine, read the drug label or package insert or talk to your health care provider or pharmacist.
You can also report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 (1-800-332-1088) or online at www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/.
How Should Didanosine Be Stored?

Microsoft has teamed up with Discovery to deliver 2 million Microsoft points via the Deadliest Catch Text to Win Sweepstakes.
Microsoft is doing up Discovery's crap-fishing television series big across all of its various networks, including MSN, MSN Mobile, Hotmail, and of course, Xbox Live. The promotion, which started on April 10th and ends tomorrow at Midnight, has players texting special mobile phone numbers for a chance to be one of 5,000 winners of 2 million Microsoft points. The codes can be found either through video clips accessible via Xbox Live ads, or through in-game advertisements in certain Xbox 360 games, including Madden NFL 09, Need for Speed: Undercover, Battlefield: Bad Company, Mercenaries 2, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, Shaun White Snowboarding, Skate2, and NHL 09.
The best part of the promotion is not actually having to watch The Deadliest Catch to participate. Not that it is a bad show...it's just one of those trap programs you cannot tear yourself away from no matter how hard you try. I've spent many a weekend afternoon watching countless hours of crab fishing, and I don't even eat seafood. That's too much power for one show to have.

You might not have the history of doing well in a certain place, but that doesn't mean you can't go out there and be successful and we've shown that. Those are two great moments that stand out from this year, but at the same time really the most important thing is qualifying. We finished strong in the Semifinal Round and want to keep that momentum going into next year."
ussoccer.com: Your consistency with the National Team has coincided with two strong years at Fulham in which you set club records for scoring, and now the move to Tottenham. How have the performances at the club impacted your international career?
CD: "Playing in the Premier League is one of the toughest things in the world, and being able to test yourself week in and week out allows you to get better and also gain confidence. The more goals you score, the more confident you get and the more comfortable you become in front of goal. I have improved my quality in the final third, and it's something I continue to work on. I'm still adjusting to things at Tottenham, and I hope the experiences at Fulham will lead to me making an important contribution with Spurs."
CD: "I do, and it's been really amazing to see and be a part of all these years. It really gives us a boost, especially when we go on the road now and see so many fans traveling and supporting us. The games in in Columbus and Kansas City this year were awesome. It's some of the best support I've ever experienced playing for the National Team, and hopefully that's something we can look forward to in the next round of qualifying. There is really a special connection. It will be something that plays an important role in our success, and we try to show our appreciation for everything they do."
ussoccer.com: Is there still more to come from Clint Dempsey?
CD: "I believe so. You have to keep moving forward and keep staying hungry and being motivated to try and better yourself. This next year is an important year for the U.S. National Team. We want to qualify for the World Cup. That's the main focus. It's not about getting awards; it's about the team doing well. For some players it will be their last chance to be in a World Cup, and others it might be their first. It's something you don't' want to let slip through your fingers, so we have to make sure we take advantage of that opportunity."

San Francisco members of the Hindu Businessmen's Association have gone ahead this month with buying or donating the various lumber, insulation, roofing and finishing supplies needed to complete the new Siddhanta Press shop at Sivashram. Renovations and additions to the existing building were begun in September of last year under the auspices of the Sivashram Building Fund but were not completed by January when the Building Fund was closed for 1979. The printing equipment to be housed in the completed building in the future was stored in a temporarily walled in and air-conditioned section of the new shop to await further developments. Some of that equipment is now in use despite its small quarters, making the completion of the new shop a first priority.
In February of this year a complete building supplies list for the shop was forwarded to the San Francisco H.B.A. at their request and they have been collecting and buying the materials in the weeks since then. They report that the supplies will all be on hand as of April 17th when the last of their purchases is received and will be shipped soon after to Kauai. The further work in completing the new building will also be largely done by H.B.A. members from San Francisco and possibly other areas, coming to Sivashram for a few weeks during the summer months, most probably just prior to or after the Guru Purnima celebrations in July. It will be a special construction project financed and supervised by the H.B.A. to complete Phase I, - the basic structural shell, its renovation, and extended floor area, doors, windows, and roof. Phase II and III will be the new plumbing, electrical, interior work, shelving, flooring, etc.
Other H.B.A. activities during the month have centered on further research and planning toward the publishing of the English translation of the Tirumantiram. This project has been handled thus far by East Coast H.B.A. members.

The Chevy Volt has been getting a lot of attention since GM decided to pause production for five weeks, due to growing inventory. And although sales of the Volt this year are not off to a great start in the U.S, the Volt's better-looking twin, the Opel Ampera, is apparently doing quite well in Europe according to Opel executives. Opel just started delivering Amperas to customers last month, and has already received over 7,000 orders, which means that the Ampera should hit its sales target of 10,000 units. Opel apparently bumped up its 2012 sales target to 10,000 from 8,000 due to the increased demand.
On the outside, the Opel Ampera and Chevy Volt are pretty much identical with the exception of the Ampera's "boomerang" headlights and slightly tweaked rear end. On the inside the only major difference is the Opel badge on the steering wheel. But there is one other big difference that the guys over at Translogic recently uncovered between the Volt and Ampera. The Chevy Volt has three driver-selectable driving modes: normal, sport and mountain. The Ampera gets a fourth mode: Halten mode otherwise known as "battery hold." This additional mode allows drivers to limit the use of the battery while traveling at high speeds, like on Germany's Autobahn. By only using the four-cylinder engine in this mode, the battery's power is reserved for use at slower speeds. It's not really known why the Volt does not have this fourth mode, but government regulations may be the reason.
Would this fourth driving mode, combined with a better sportier face help turn around the Volt's sales here in the U.S.? Well at least Volt sales are showing some signs of recovery after the NHTSA investigation earlier this year. Last month, Chevy sold 1,023 units compared to 603 Volts in January.

MISSISSIPPI AGRICULTURE Commissioner Lester Spell has announced today the state's department of agriculture will host the annual statewide beekeeping workshop May 20-21 at the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum in Jackson.
The department has worked with various groups and agencies to recruit new beekeepers because wild populations of honey bees have declined. Honeybees both in the wild and in commercial hives make an important contribution to Mississippi agriculture with their pollination of various crops and plants. Wild honeybee populations have regressed because of parasitic mites, other pests and disease.
"Our goal is to assist beekeepers in the maintenance of adequate numbers of honey bees available to pollinate crops and plants," Spell said.
Topics for the workshop include discussions on basic beginning beekeeping as well as more advanced management techniques for experienced beekeepers. The format will be classroom discussions in the morning and outside demonstrations and activities in the afternoon.
Registration forms and information about specific activities and program topics can be obtained by contacting the state apiarist, Harry Fulton, at the Bureau of Plant Industry at 662-325-7765 or e-mailing him at email@example.com. Registration is $10 for each day of the workshop.
