And can't post without pointing fingers at the U.S..
My concern is not that horse meat is present in burgers - as it's perfectly safe to eat - but about the accountability of the supply chain. The idea that a product could secretly contain nearly one-third horse meat is scandalous and illegal (as it's not listed as an ingredient). If it's not meant to be in there in the first place then it's entirely possible it's not actually safe for human consumption; if it's getting in their accidentally then clearly machinery is not being properly cleaned. The big difference between the US and the EU though is that this behaviour is illegal, whereas pink slime, growth hormones, antibiotics and genetically modified crops are considered perfectly acceptable in the US and are hidden from consumers.
This is a massive failure by regulators and action needs to be taken. The businesses responsible should be fined and criminal charges filed where appropriate, while those responsible for regulating meat need to be held responsible (fired, stripped of their salary if possible). If new laws are needed then that should be addressed promptly. People have a right to know what they're eating.
PS - It's really no surprise that the one retailer with the 29% horse meat burgers would be Tesco and I've long avoided shopping there.

Lord help us, is the balanced budget amendment—one of the dumbest policy ideas the right ever cooked up (and that's saying something)—actually back? Only time will tell, but today on the New York Times op-ed page, two prominent conservative economists, Glenn Hubbard and Tim Kane, try to revive it with an argument so unconvincing that I worry it's going to be embraced by every Republican in sight. If you think the sequester was a terrific idea and worked out great for everyone, have they got a deal for you.
Hubbard and Kane start by insisting that deficit panic must not be allowed to wane. "We are stuck in a bad and worsening place: sure, deficits strike fear in the hearts of economists and intellectuals, but they don't matter at the ballot box." Haven't we actually cut the deficit by more than half from its 2009 peak? And isn't creating jobs and increasing wages more important? And aren't most "economists and intellectuals" not actually driven to terror by the deficit at the moment? Of course not, silly. We must put aside parochial concerns like jobs and focus our fear on deficits, lest they one day...well, one day they'll do something really bad, but don't worry about what it is.
You never hear conservatives articulate exactly why running a deficit, any deficit, is so problematic. They rely on the fact that it seems self-evident, and in fairness, some Democrats, Barack Obama in particular, contribute to widespread misunderstanding of the subject by repeatedly comparing the government's finances to a family's finances. But the government's budget isn't at all like a family's budget. For instance, when it's faced with a crisis like the Great Recession, borrowing more and spending more is exactly what it has to do. In the last 50 years, we've had a balanced budget eight times, four of which were at the end of the Clinton years. There's no reason why the deficit has to come down to zero. If that's what you're forced to do, then you end up making problems worse at the worst moments. That's what happened to states over the last few years; because nearly every state has a requirement to balance their budget every year, when tax revenues plummeted, they were forced to slash government services and lay off hundreds of thousands of workers. This made the recession more painful for everybody (and the federal government sent billions of dollars to the states in an attempt to mitigate the damage).
If you had a balanced budget amendment in place, when a recession hits and tax revenues fall, the federal government would have to immediately cut back its spending, precisely the opposite of what it ought to be doing. Yet for years, a balanced budget amendment was Republican dogma, nearly on par with tax cuts for the wealthy and big defense budgets. Which brings us to Hubbard and Kane's new balanced budget amendment proposal. Here's part 1:
First, because reconciling expenditures and revenues would be impossible in real time, the constraint should be on expenditures only. A good rule would be this: Congress shall spend no more in the current year than it collected, on average, over the previous seven years. No more overspending in fat years and no draconian cuts to expenditures during future recessions.
This rolling average idea makes things a bit more sane, but do you see what they did there? I've highlighted it in bold. "The constraint should be on expenditures only," meaning that their balanced budget amendment would require spending cuts, but not tax increases. Why? Because these are Republicans, that's why. Here's part 2:
Second, any amendment should be simple, focused only on fiscal balance. The best mix of tax and expenditure changes is for each generation of voters to decide.
Is that supposed to mean that the amendment itself shouldn't actually write into the Constitution budgetary limits for every single federal agency for every year in the future? Well since that would be insane, I'm not sure why it has to be an explicit part of their three-part proposal. Perhaps they should also specify that a balanced budget amendment shouldn't deal with abortion and drug legalization, or that the amendment need not specify the headline font on the Department of Energy's press releases. And on to part 3:
Third, there should be an exception to the spending constraint for national emergencies.
And what would be a national emergency? Would the Great Recession count? How about the Iraq War, which the Bush administration (where Glenn Hubbard served) financed through deficit spending? This is basically a way of saying, don't worry, we'll require balanced budgets, unless requiring balanced budgets looks like a terrible idea, at which point we won't. And then we get to the end, where Hubbard and Kane finally reveal the threat posed by deficits, a threat so profound it must be met with the constitutional equivalent of permanent sequestration:
America's high and rising national debt threatens our economic health through higher future taxes, crowding out important government services, or both. The best antidote is a focus on economic growth and a balanced approach to deficit control
Ah, there we are. We must force draconian budget cuts now, because if we don't, at some point in the future we might have to...force budget cuts. And of course raise taxes, which we can't ever, ever do. So by imposing those cuts, we can "focus on economic growth," not by actually promoting economic growth, but by...um...confidence!
This isn't some dopey politician offering his opinion on a topic he plainly doesn't understand, this is two highly-placed and supposedly informed conservative economists. Hubbard is dean of the business school at Columbia and was George W. Bush's chief economic adviser. Kane is chief economist at the Hudson Institute. These are the Republican party's big economic thinkers. And this is what they have to offer.
Fri, 2013-08-16 01:24
The US has been imposing these draconian cuts for years, starting at the bottom. We wiped out the welfare system, slashed away at Social Security Disability, made deep cuts in everything from education to vital public services. We've concentrated the budget on maintaining extreme military spending while protecting the rich/corporations from the "burdens of taxation." Look at the results. Extreme (potentially life-threatening) poverty has actually doubled just since Clinton's welfare "reform," the life expectancy of America's poor has fallen below that of some Third World countries, and upward class mobility has come to a standstill. We've been in the process of phasing out the middle class with policies supported by the middle class. We're living a re-enactment of the 1920s, embracing the same agenda that resulted in the Great Depression, yet the middle class appears to think that we'll have different results this time.
Fri, 2013-08-16 06:37
You admit the rolling average idea is sane, but you don't like the second part. Do you really not understand what it means? It says you can change tax revenues, but not for the purpose of achieving a balanced budget. You could increase taxes though to allow for future increases in spending because it would obviously change the rolling average, which you already said was sane. And, yes, a ghastly recession would obviously be an emergency and would require deficit spending. As you pointed out, these people are economists. Finally you end with the conclusion that we must have draconian budget cuts. I didn't see that anywhere in their proposal, only in your supposition of a position they did not state.

Obama WILL cave. He will have to. In one week he will have no choice but to give in to whatever extremist demands the Republicans care to make or risk America defaulting for the first time in its history. The Republicans have the president over a barrel. They hold ALL the cards, including that pesky little requirement in the Constitution that any bill authorizing the government to spend money has to originate in the House of Representatives.
Tue, 2013-11-05 07:34
The Democratic Party was conceived and implemented by the only two American politicians who ever had the United States out of debt, Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren, although the Panic of 1837 greatly diminished Van Buren's role in that accomplishment because it plunged his administration back into debt, which increased with each succeeding administration to its present level of 17 trillion dollars. So Democrats of today tell us that debt is good, solvency is evil, and the way for America to achieve true greatness is to borrow more money and pass it out to people who might vote for Democratic Party candidates. The pre-Civil War version of slavery seems honest compared to the modern Democratic Party version. The real problem Democrats have is that their only thinking member died in 1845, and since that time Democrats have had no thoughts of their own, just the ability to copy whatever political parties in Europe do.
So what are the plans of the Democratic Party?
When independent voters increase by four more percentage points, they will outnumber all party members in the United States. Since the election of 1800 Democrats have prevented independent voters from being candidates for political office through control of the federal judiciary, which rules consistently today that the provisions of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 only apply to political party members and that only political party members have the right to be candidates for office in the United States. The United States has lived under a judicial dictatorship since 1803 when the Supreme Court of the United States declared itself to be a supreme legislative body, imposing chattel slavery until 1862 and economic slavery since that time after Abraham Lincoln turned chattel slavery on its head by writing the Emancipation Proclamation.
Jackson and Van Buren caused the Civil War by decreasing the number of independent voters in the United States when they promoted their new political party as being essential to United States government. Today it is the Democratic Party, along with their enabling puppets, the Republicans, who are decreasing. It is impossible to see this as anything other than a good thing.

Anderson University School of Theology student Robert Heaton is currently participating in an archaeological dig at Tel Hazor in Israel. Earlier this year, Heaton was named the fifth Jeeninga Fellow in Archaeology and has received funding support from the fellowship.
In 1963, Dr. Gustav Jeeninga founded the Gustav Jeeninga Museum of Bible and Near Eastern Studies. Since its creation, the museum and its artifacts have served as inspiration to many Anderson University students. Jeeninga and his wife created the Gustav Jeeninga Museum Fellowship for Archaeology in 2006 for the purpose of encouraging and aiding AU students to study archaeology and the Bible in a hands-on environment.
To date, the fellowship has awarded five scholarships to individuals who are primarily engaged in biblical studies at an undergraduate level or attending the School of Theology (SOT). The grant gives students the opportunity to study in the Middle East for up to four weeks, participating in archaeological digs and excavations.
Heaton is working toward a Master of Theological Studies degree at the School of Theology. After becoming interested in the museum, Heaton was encouraged by AU faculty to apply for the fellowship.
"I was overwhelmed with a desire to know more about people from ancient times," said Heaton. "The idea of visiting the land that is preserving things still to be discovered really interests me."
Follow Heaton's progress at www.robheaton.com.
The opportunity to receive the Gustav Jeeninga Fellowship required intensive hours of filling out applications and planning the trip. "It is a highly competitive endowment program," said David Neidert, director of student development at the SOT and the museum's director. "Students have to write an essay highlighting their reasons for applying, along with mapping out their trip as far as costs and who they will be in connection with." A committee of faculty from the SOT and the Department of Religious Studies choses the fellowship recipient.
Heaton hopes to one day teach at the undergraduate level. "In order to teach this information someday, I want to experience how people in biblical times were shaped by their connection in the land," he said.
The Tel Hazor site is primarily focused on the ancient people of the Old Testament during the time periods of the Canaanite and early Israelite era. Heaton is working with a team of 30-40 people involved in a 22-year-long excavation. With no prior experience in archaeology, Heaton is excited to begin this new learning adventure.
"I am interested in this soil that holds so much history and learning more about the land and how it corresponds with the teaching in the Bible," said Heaton. "The opportunity to travel to Israel and visit the Holy Land is something I am extremely excited for."

These days it's not a huge surprise if a celeb lands on Amanda Bynes' 'ugly' list.
Before the embattled actress was hospitalized on a 5150 psychiatric hold for starting a fire, Amanda went on a celeb-bashing spree, calling everyone from Rihanna to Miley Cyrus less than attractive.
But, there may have been more reason behind it than spite.
According to a declaration obtained by E! News, when Amanda's parents tried to secure a temporary conservatorship over her, they revealed that their daughter "has profound issues with her body image and is obsessed with the idea that she (and others) are ugly."
Take a look at 10 of the celebs that landed on Amanda's ugly list.
1. Miley Cyrus: Amanda tweeted a pic of the Queen of Twerk at the Billboard Music Awards and called her 'ugly.' Miley later said in an interview, "I won't even entertain that," adding, "I think it's all so sad, that I don't want to add any fuel to that fire. I was rooting for her comeback until she started attacking me and I just thought it was hilarious that she mentioned my name the moment I was the worldwide trending topic on Twitter."
Following Miley's interview, Amanda backtracked on her previous sentiment, saying, "@MileyCyrus thank you for rooting for me doll! You are one of the prettiest girls! I want my nose to look like yours after my surgeries!"
2. Sarah Hyland: Amanda kicked off a feud with Sarah and her boyfriend Matt Prokop when she called the Modern Family star "ugly." Matt was not amused and quickly snapped back, "If you're not hot I don't care about you. look in a mirror...Stop getting work done. Save what's left." Not one to go down without a fight, Amanda fired back, "your girlfriend has an ugly face like you."
3. The Obamas: Yup, Amanda insulted the President of the United States. "Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are ugly!," Amanda tweeted for no apparent reason. Naturally, the POTUS and his wife never responded.
4. Drake: Sure, at one point she tweeted that she wanted the rapper to "murder her vagina," but that was just how she felt on that particular day. Since then, Amanda's love-hate relationship with the "Started From the Bottom" crooner has been all over the place, calling him 'ugly,' to issuing an apology to calling him ugly again.
5. Jay-Z: Back in February, Amanda tweeted, "Ugly face" and linked to a photo of Jay Z. She later deleted the tweet.
6. Lance Bass: The former N'Sync singer and Amanda got into a war of words in May after he gave a radio interview saying he hopes she "gets the help she needs." When she got wind of the interview, Amanda tweeted, "I ignored Lance Bass on twitter and now he is saying I have a mental illness. Sorry you're an ugly ex boy band member w/ no talent or career." Lance responded, saying, "Ouch--The Amanda I know would never had said something like this to me."
7. Courtney Love: The rocker, who has had troubles of her own in the past, tweeted, "@Amanda Bynes pull it together dude." To which Amanda replied, "Courtney Love is the ugliest woman I've ever seen. To be mentioned by her at all makes me and all my friends laugh!"
8. Rihanna: Amanda decided to go off on Rihanna one random day in May, writing (and then deleting), "You look so ugly tryin to be white." And then this low blow, "Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough." Rihanna seemed to respond to Amanda's attack, writing, "List of things nobody got time for: 1. That!" Amanda snapped back, calling the singer "fugly."
9. Kid Cudi: Amanda took aim at Complex Magazine and Kid Cudi at the same time, tweeting, "I'm so sick of the articles you write about me. I want every fake article deleted. Ur d*ck whipped by my ugly ex @ducidni who's looks and talent have always been questionable to me, him being the ugly duckling that he is and all. U quote him non stop, then take professional shots of him for ur covers, his best photos aren't sh*t compared to mine at my best."
10. Jason Biggs: The American Pie star asked her if she was "having a stroke" following one of her Twitter rants and Bynes tweeted back, "@JasonBiggs you're so ugly I won't talk to you."

The displacement train has left the station, and it passed ridiculous two blocks ago. Like the nation's staggering $10 trillion debt, the cubic inch explosion is nowhere near slowing down. Deck heights keep growing, cylinder walls keep thickening, and crank throws keep orbiting farther and farther away from their mains. To make it all fit, cam bores are creeping closer to the deck, and oil pan rails continue spreading outward. While this isn't breaking news by any means, have you checked out the possibilities lately?
The stalwart small-block Chevy, whose architecture yielded just 265 ci when it was introduced to the public, can now be built as large as 468 ci using readily available off-the-shelf components. In response to mice encroaching on its turf, big-blocks can easily displace 665 ci these days without breaking a water jacket. Perhaps most astonishing of all is how far the displacement ceiling has been raised. Once the exclusive territory of full-race mountain motors, big-blocks boasting a capacious 5.000-inch bore spacing are now available in a user-friendly package with shelf cranks and cylinder heads to match. That means a 780ci big-block can be built using plain-Jane mail order parts, and the thought of seeing one stuffed inside a Chevelle has us giggling like a bunch of AIG executives.
In an ideal world of unlimited budgets and nonexistent deadlines, we'd be able to assemble dozens of different motors for the sake of hands-on research. Unfortunately this isn't the case, so what we can't assemble in steel and aluminum we've instead assembled in words and pictures. While it's impossible to outline all of the different bore and stroke dimensions that can be combined to achieve a near-infinite number of displacement figures, we have compiled a list of the most popular setups. By divulging some basic tips on how to assemble a massive stroker short-block and explaining the pros and cons of various combinations, we can point you in the right direction.
Make Room
Every stroker short-block requires a certain degree of clearancing. Exactly how much and where depends on many factors, such as deck height, rod length, the shape of the rod itself, cam location, oil pan design, the length of the stroke, and block design. Nonetheless, there are several universal steps that can be taken to minimize the clearancing required by opening up as much space inside the motor as possible. Two of the easiest ways to accomplish this is with a small base-circle cam and aftermarket rods that feature profiled beams and bolt shoulders. Furthermore, large-capacity aftermarket oil pans free up additional space as well. These measures will significantly decrease the likelihood of the rods smacking into the camshaft or oil pan. Perhaps the most effective method of simplifying a stroker buildup, if your budget permits, is with an aftermarket block. With wider distances between the pan rails and raised cam locations, they minimize the grinding at the bottom of the cylinder and give the cam much-needed breathing room.

|Golden Saffron Broth with Spinach Matzoh Balls
By Chef and Cookbook Author, Rozanne Gold, for Lenox China
This recipe for Golden Saffron Broth with Spinach Matzoh Balls is sure to become your favorite version of traditional chicken soup. The gorgeous color comes from onion skins. Gather all those that lurk in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. The matzoh balls can be made in advance and chilled. Reheat them for 5 minutes in boiling water and then add to the hot soup and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until soup and matzoh balls are heated through.
Spinach-CHICKEN Matzoh Balls:
In a large pot with a cover, put chicken wings. Add 16 cups water, kosher salt and peppercorns. Add bay leaves and saffron threads. Cut 1 pound onions into quarters and add to pot. Add remaining onion skins and stir to mix.
Bring to a rapid boil, stirring several times. Lower heat to medium-low and cover pot with cover askew. Cook 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large clean pot. Transfer wings to a bowl, discarding onions, onion skins, etc. Pick 1 packed cup cooked chicken from wings. (Save remaining chicken for another use.) Let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove fat and set aside ¼ cup for making matzoh balls.
Heat the soup just until boiling, then lower heat. Simmer until reduced to 12 cups. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To Make Matzoh Balls:
Drain spinach in a colander and squeeze until bone dry. Add to egg mixture and mix. Chop 1 cup chicken very, very fine. Add to matzoh mixture and mix until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Cover bowl with foil and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
Bring a very large pot of salted water to a boil. Moisten your hands and form mixture into 16 large balls. Slowly
Bring saffron broth just to a boil. Add matzoh balls and cook 5 to 10 minutes until soup and matzoh balls are heated through. Serve immediately.
Yield: Serves 8
Recipes: Passover, Soup, Matzoh Balls, Poultry, Kosher

Great Game!
By Angie
from Gillespie, IL
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about Smart Toss™ Math Sports Game:
Both my 3 and 5 year old have a blast playing this game! The game includes 4 different sports themed boards, including baseball, bowling, golf and basketball. Each game has various ways of scoring points that include simple math. Although my kids had the most fun trying to make the bean bags into the holes, we did read the numbers on the bags and incorporate math and numbers in other ways. There are just so many fun ways to play this game! Plus storing this game is a cinch-- just tuck the bean bags in the provided pockets and fold up and store!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Educational Tool
By Mom of 2
from Martinsburg, WV
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
My daughter is almost 3 years old. I got this knowing the recommended age starts at 5, but wanted to have something my daughter could grow into. We have played with this game in a number of ways already:-She identifies the number that is shown on the bean bag. After getting it right, she gets to toss it onto the board.-She tosses a bag onto the board, then "adds" between 1-3 more bags, then we total up the number of bags. -We toss all the bags onto the board, then take away the purple bags or orange bags, and then count how many bags are left.-She tosses the bags and tries to get the purple bags in a purple-rimmed hole and the orange bags in the orange-rimmed hole.As you can see, there are a number of ways you can play with this toy, even with a young child. As your child gets older, there are instructions to play more challenging games.I love that this set comes with built-in storage bags for the bean bags (I also store the instructions in there) and the board collapses so I can store it easily in a closet without taking up hardly any room!We've had a lot of fun with this!
Great for Kids the Learn by Doing!
By Erin Lowmaster | Connected2Christ
from Oregon
If you have a child much like my own, and are on the hunt for tools to help with teaching Math, you'll want to know about a product I recently was given the opportunity to review through the company Learning Resources. The Smart Toss™ Math Sports Game has been a wonderful way to make learning math fun for both my son and my daughter.In this beanbag toss set, you'll see that it works around a sports theme. The sports spotlighted on the colorful child friendly board are baseball, bowling, golf, and basketball. There are 10 canvas bean bags, handy storage pockets inside, an easy-carry handle and an activity guide full of several different ways to play together. The vinyl surface wipes clean so that's great for outdoor or indoor use. It folds flat to 20"L x 18"H and takes up a minimal amount of space, perfect for any school supplies storage areas.The activity guide is great if you are looking for suggestion on how to start some games with the Smart Toss Math Sports set but you can also do you own thing. We've been doing our own thing working on simple addition and subtraction since my daughter is just 4 1/2. My son whom is almost two really just loves to throw the beanbags in the holes building up his fine motor skills. My whole family has enjoyed using this set together and imagine it will get many years of use when learning about addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Overall, I really like this set because it's unique. It works great for my children that learn best by doing. The durability is top quality and it's easy to clean. I like there's an activity guide and that we are also free to let our imagination take us and make up our own way to play while learning together. I would highly recommend this set for any school or home use.

Pronounced: AR-se-nik trye-OX-ide
Classification: Antineoplastic Agent
Arsenic trioxide is a form of the naturally occurring compound arsenic. It has been used by health practitioners (particularly in Asia) for hundreds of years. It is safe when given in small doses by experienced healthcare professionals. It seems to work against cancer by causing cancer cells to self-destruct; this is also known as apoptosis.
Arsenic Trioxide is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over 1-2 hours. For people who experience reactions during the infusion (such as rash, shortness of breath, and cough), the infusion can be slowed down and run over 4 hours.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Arsenic Trioxide. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
This is also called hyperleukocytosis. Generally, it does not cause any problems, nor does it require stopping the treatment. Your healthcare provider will monitor your white blood count during treatment.
This is a syndrome resulting from the changes arsenic trioxide causes to blood cell production in patients with leukemia. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome include: fever (temperature >100.5), sudden weight gain, bone or joint pain, and fluid build-up around the heart, lungs, and/or chest, causing shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. This syndrome is treated with high doses of steroids (like prednisone) and diuretics (fluid pills). Your healthcare providers will monitor for these signs or symptoms, but it is also important for you to tell your doctor or nurse promptly if you experience any of these symptoms. You will be asked to weigh yourself every day during the first few weeks of therapy, and to report any increases in weight correctly.
Arsenic trioxide can cause changes in your heart rhythm. This will be monitored by electrocardiogram (ECG). It is important for your potassium and magnesium levels to be normal, so these will also be monitored, and you may need to take supplemental potassium or magnesium. Be sure to let your doctor know if you have any history of heart rhythm abnormalities, and list all the medications you are taking (both prescription and over the counter).
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relive pain. You can also view OncoLink's page on pain management.
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the drug. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the drug is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to change the doses of your medication. See OncoLink's section on peripheral neuropathy for tips on dealing with this side effect.
Insomnia is a common problem for people with cancer and was reported in clinical trials of arsenic trioxide. See this OncoLink article on insomnia for helpful tips.
See OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Abdominal pain, increase in blood glucose (blood sugar), rash, and itching.

This Hindi melodrama is set during India's fight for independence from the British. Although lavish song and dance numbers are unexpectedly common in Indian cinema, the soundtrack, prepared by prolific film composer Rahul Dev Burman remains a favorite among Indian fans.

If the first season of Star Trek: Voyager was a shakedown cruise, then season 2 represents a vital blossoming of the series' potential. As Captain Janeway, Kate Mulgrew maintained Starfleet integrity in the lawless expanse of the Delta quadrant, and became the ethical conscience of her still-uneasy Maquis/Starfleet crew, whose unanimous loyalty would be dramatically proven in "The '37's" (a first-season hold-over). Janeway's moral guidance would also assert itself in "Death Wish" (a "Q" episode featuring NextGen's Jonathan Frakes) and "Tuvix," in which life-or-death decisions landed squarely on her shoulders. Season 2 brought similar development to all the primary characters, deepening their relationships and defining their personalities, especially Robert Beltran as Chakotay (in "Initiations" and "Tattoo"), now firmly established as Janeway's best friend (and nearly more than that, in "Resolutions") and command-decision confidante.
