Will This Analyst Upgrade Help KB Homes (KBH) Stock Today? (Update)
Update (9:42 a.m.): Updated with Thursday market open information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- UBS upgraded KB Homes (KBH) to "neutral" from "sell" and set a $15 price target. The firm believes valuation accurately reflects fundamentals.
The stock was up 2.2% to $16.24 at 9:41 a.m.on Thursday.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth StocksSTOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates KB HOME as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate KB HOME (KBH) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and revenue growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, generally higher debt management risk and weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- KB HOME reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, KB HOME turned its bottom line around by earning $0.41 versus -$0.76 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.24 versus $0.41).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Household Durables industry. The net income increased by 184.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$12.46 million to $10.56 million.
- KBH has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 24.52% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 3.98 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company.

Anyone heading to the airport this holiday season?
If you're traveling by plane in the busiest time of the year, you probably already know what to expect: crowds, waiting in lines, security checks, packed planes and – for most of us – flying economy. Being confined to plane seats for hours is not the most pleasant experience: they are constrictive and not at all ergonomic. If you've been practicing yoga for a while, you might know that sitting in a chair for extended periods of time binds the hip flexors and promotes stiffness in the hips.
As a yoga practitioner, I've been developing a greater awareness of the needs of my body, whether it's nutrition, rest or movement. A few months ago, while flying coach in a 5 hour flight, I noticed I was getting irritated. I thought I was hungry, so I had a granola bar. No, it wasn't hunger. I asked the flight attendant for some water. Nope, not thirst either. So I stood up, headed to the restroom and while I was waiting on the aisle, I stretched my legs out, lifted the arms up, did some gentle twists and I thought "oh boy, THAT'S what I needed!"
So I figured it was time to develop a simple stretching routine, taking into consideration the constraints of a plane seat as well as respecting the space of the fellow passenger flying next to me. The routine below is self-explanatory and simple enough that anyone can follow it. It's purpose is to stimulate circulation and prevent you from feeling stiff and overly fatigued upon landing.
Your behind stays behind you – How to sit
Have you ever noticed how we tend to curl the tail bone under when sitting? Sitting like this doesn't ergonomically support your spine. To protect your back, bring a small towel or blanket with you, or ask a flight attendant for one.
Make a roll with your blanket and sit on it in such a way that the top of the hips tilt forward. As the top of the hips tilt forward, the flesh of your buttocks will move back behind you. When you elevate the pelvis, it's easier to maintain the spine long, and the muscles of your back won't have to work as hard. If you sit like this, you'll notice that your back barely (if at all) touches the seat back. That's fine.
Finding more space with the space you have
You might think there isn't enough space for you to stretch, especially when confined to a plane seat. Considering most of your hours inside the plane will be spent sitting, I invite you to work with whatever space you have, even if it's minimum. Below, there are 7 easy yoga stretches that require little space and promote circulation:
- Flex and point toes.
- Make circles with the ankles.
- Bring the knee in towards the chest.
- Stretch the arm up into a side bend.
- Shrug the shoulders, making circles.
- Bend the right elbow, elevate it to chin height, right hand touches the left shoulder. The left hand presses the right elbow towards the back of your seat.
- Twist from side to side.
- Circle your neck.
Take over the back of the plane
If flying long hours, remember to stand, walk and stretch about once every hour. If you're planning on sleeping, make sure you do this before and after you take a nap. When you do stand, go to the back of the plane and find a corner for the following stretches (and don't be bothered if the flight attendants look at you funny). As with any yoga practice, don't forget to breathe!
- Standing, feet together, big toes touching, bend the knees and then rise up on the ball of your feet. This will stretch the sole of the foot, toes and get the circulation going.
- While next to a wall, stand on your left leg, bend the right knee and hold the top of the right foot behind you, for a quad stretch. Gently kick the foot into your hand for a deeper stretch and keep reaching your knee towards the floor.
- Bring your feet about 2 feet apart, turn the toes out and bend the knees deeply, until the thighs are parallel to the floor. Bring your body up as you straighten the knees, and down as you bend them. This will warm up the groins and hips.
- Have your right side towards a wall, right hand to the waist, stretch the left arm up, and side bend to the right. Press the left fingers against the wall and use it as a leverage to increase the side stretch.
- Again, right side facing a wall, bring your right arm behind you in such a way that the right palm touches the wall, at shoulder height. As you press the right palm against the wall, slowly rotate your body towards the left. You'll feel the upper chest muscles and the front of the shoulder opening.
- Have your back to a wall, feet hip width apart, interlace the fingers behind your back. As you straighten your elbows, lift your chest and look up slightly for an arm extension and tiny back bend.
- Again, with your back to a wall, feet hip width apart and interlace the fingers behind your back. As you fold forward, straighten the knees and elbows, bring the hands overhead and shoulders away from your ears. Linger here for long as it feels yummy, or until you hear "Excuse me."
These routines are simple and certain to increase circulation and impact your overall level of energy. If for any reason you feel like you cannot do all of the yoga stretches mentioned, do just a few then. This is all about working with whatever space you have in order to stay refreshed and well-disposed through the sometimes long travels this holiday season. So next time you're flying, give it a try, you might come up with your own yoga stretches routine, who knows?
Happy travels!

INTERVIEW: From "Hoop Dreams" to "Life Itself" with Filmmaker Steve James
Acclaimed director of the Roger Ebert doc "Life Itself" STEVE JAMES (Hoop Dreams) sits down for a conversation with Odie Henderson of RogerEbert.com. Excerpted in full: In 1994, Roger Ebert wrote about Steve James� �Hoop Dreams���A film like "Hoop Dreams" is what the movies are for. It takes us, shakes us, and make us think in new ways about the world around us. It gives us the impression of having touched life itself.� He had no idea that, 20 years later, the director of that film would be the filmmaker behind the movie based on Roger�s memoir, titled with the same phrase that Roger used to describe �Hoop Dreams���Life Itsel [...]

Prescription and nonprescription products for a
cough have been provided to children of all ages for
many years. Numerous products are available as
combinations of antihistamines (eg, brompheniramine,
chlorpheniramine, and diphenhydramine), decongestants
(eg, phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine), antitussives (eg,
codeine and dextromethorphan) and/or expectorants
(guaifenesin). These medications have rarely undergone
rigorous clinical trials evaluating their efficacy and safety
and much of the data in children has been extrapolated
from the sparse adult information. However, over the past
few years, the FDA has evaluated the use of hydrocodone-containing cough products and in 2007 began to actively
enforce regulations against unapproved hydrocodone-containing products and ordered them to be removed from
the market. Physicians and pharmacists should be aware of
these changes and understand which therapies are appropriate to prescribe and dispense for a cough in children.
The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health,
and, thus, it regulates foods, drugs, biologics, medical
devices, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.1 The
FDA approves medications based upon clinical studies for
efficacy and safety that the manufacturer is required to
supply to the agency. The average review time for approval
of a drug by the FDA is six months.2 However, currently
there are prescription and nonprescription drugs on the
market that have evaded the FDA process and, thus, are
It is thought that there are thousands of unapproved
drugs available to the public today.3 This could be due to
the change in laws over the past 100 years. In 1906, the
Federal Food and Drugs Act was the first US act that regulated drugs. Then, in 1938, the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act stated that new drugs must be evaluated and
approved for safety. In 1962, this act was amended to state
that new drugs must be proven safe and effective for
approval. Thus, the FDA contracted with researchers to
evaluate the efficacy of previously approved drugs; however, numerous drugs came to the market prior to 1962
without approval. In June of 2006, the FDA began a new
program, the Drug Safety Initiative, which would remove
unapproved drugs from the market. The program uses a
risk-based approach for drug selection in which drugs with
potential safety risks are the highest priority. Once a risk is
assessed, the FDA can take any of the following actions:
request voluntary compliance; provide notice of action in
a Federal Register notice; issue an untitled letter or a
warning letter; or initiate a seizure, injunction, or other
proceeding of the product. Since the introduction of this
program, the FDA has taken actions against the following
drugs: balanced salt solution (ophthalmic) products,
carbinoxamine, hydrocodone, injectable colchicine, quinine sulfate, trimethobenzamide hydrochloride suppositories, topical drug products containing papain, ergotamine-containing drug products, and timed-release drug products containing guaifenesin.
Hydrocodone-containing products, commonly prescribed as antitussive agents, were specifically targeted by
the FDA in September 2007.4 There were concerns regarding formulation changes in unapproved hydrocodone-containing products and confusion between names of
approved and unapproved products, possibly resulting in
medication errors. Some of these products were FDA
approved for pain, but most of the products claiming to
suppress coughs were unapproved. In addition, by 2005,
the FDA had received more than 400 reports of serious
adverse effects involving antitussive hydrocodone-containing products. The most commonly reported adverse
effects were central nervous system, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and hypersensitivity effects as well as intentional
and unintentional overdoses. Due to the concerns of medication safety, the FDA mandated that manufacturers of
all unapproved hydrocodone-containing products labeled
for children less than six years of age stop manufacturing
and distribution by October 31, 2007. At that time, no
products were FDA approved for use as a cough suppressant in children less than six years of age; however, some
of these products were promoting doses for children two
years of age. Those manufacturers who were marketing
unapproved hydrocodone-containing products to all others were instructed to stop manufacturing by December
31, 2007, and end shipments by March 31, 2008. There
were approximately 200 unapproved hydrocodone-containing products on the market at the time of the rule to
cease manufacturing. Only seven cough-suppressant products were FDA approved and available at the time of the
ruling (Table 1).

Hydrocodone polistirex and chlorpheniramine polistirex
Cough is a common chief complaint in a pediatric practice. It is a response to inflammatory, mechanical, or chemical irritation of the airways. Coughing helps clear the airway of excessive secretions. Thus, it may be dangerous to
suppress cough in many airway and pulmonary diseases.
Acute cough may be infectious or noninfectious. It
can be caused by a wide variety of clinical conditions such
as pneumonia, bronchiolitis, asthma, laryngotracheobronchitis (croup), sinusitis, pertussis, and airway foreign
body. The most common cause of acute cough in children
is the "common cold." It is viral in etiology and usually
accompanied by rhinorrhea and nasal congestion. Cough
occurs in about one-third of children with the common
cold. It is secondary to increased airway secretions and
irritation of the respiratory tract. Some patients may continue to cough several weeks after the acute illness because
of viral-induced airway hyperreactivity.
Children usually have about three to ten episodes of
the common cold per year. Major concerns of parents are
over their children's discomfort and their inability to drink,
resulting in dehydration. Parents and children lose sleep
because of the cough. Depending on the severity of symptoms, children can potentially miss school. Management of
the common cold is mainly centered towards relief of
symptoms until the viral infection runs its course, which is
usually 10 to 14 days.5
Symptomatic relief can be accomplished with oral
hydration, frequent nasal suctioning, and relief of discomfort or fever with antipyretics/analgesics. Treatment
is usually directed towards complications such as otitis
media, sinusitis, dehydration, and resulting asthma exacerbation.5 Physicians are usually then faced with the
dilemma of parents demanding medications to relieve
the cough and congestion of their children. Pharmacists
face similar situations when parents seek advice about
the safety of over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription
cough and cold medications.
Cough suppressants are divided into non-narcotic preparations such as dextromethorphan and narcotic
preparations such as codeine and hydrocodone that affect
the medullary cough center in the brainstem. They are
usually marketed in combination with antihistamines,
decongestants, expectorants, or antipyretics.
In recent years, the safety of cough and cold preparations has been questioned. Between 2004 and 2005, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
reported a total of 1,519 emergency room visits related
to cough and cold preparations among children less than
two years of age.6 Reported deaths associated with cough
and cold preparations in infants less than 12 months
were investigated by both the CDC and the National
Association of Medical Examiners. A study by Rimsza
and Newberry looked into unexpected infant deaths
related to cough and cold medications. About 10 out of
90 unexpected infant deaths were attributed to the recent
administration of cough and cold preparations. Only
four infants received medical care, and there is no evidence that any of their caregivers received counseling on
these medications.7
Over the past 20 years, randomized placebo-controlled studies of the use of cough and cold preparations
among children have not documented differences between
placebo and the medications. Despite these data, a recent
survey of 400 family physicians and 100 pediatricians
across Ontario showed that 16% of family physicians and
4% of pediatricians recommended cold medications for
infants up to 6 months of age (p=0.01).8 In addition, 38%
of family physicians and 14% of pediatricians recommended cold medications for infants 6 to 12 months of
age (p<0.001).
Facts About Coughs and Colds
It is estimated that over one billion Americans
experience a cold every year.
Children have about three to ten colds a year.
Adults average about two to four colds a year.
Handwashing is the simplest and most effective way
to keep from getting colds.
Heavy smokers get more severe colds with
accompanying severe cough.
Approximately one in ten US children uses one or more
cough and cold medications during a given week.
Approximately 95 million cough and cold products
are purchased each year for use in children.
The outflow of a cough can reach air speeds greater
than 100 mph.
The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy
statement in 1997 that indications for use, safety, and efficacy of cough suppressants have not been established in
children.9 In 2006, the American College of Chest
Physicians issued a statement that cough suppressants
should not be used in children since they may experience
significant morbidity and mortality.10 A Cochrane review
found insufficient evidence for the use of antitussives as
an adjunct treatment for acute pneumonia in both adults
and children.11 Another review showed that OTC cough
and cold preparations are no more effective than placebo
in the relief of acute cough in both adults and children
with acute respiratory infection.12
Many of the recent discussions regarding cough suppressants, particularly narcotic preparations containing
codeine and hydrocodone, have centered on their potential adverse effects. These adverse effects include respiratory depression, obtundation, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, rash, and pruritus. Dosages of codeine and
hydrocodone have not been established in children.
Established dosage recommendations in children were
extrapolated from adult studies. Toxicity from codeine
occurred at dosages of 3 to 5 mg/kg/day. Deaths have
been reported at dosages greater than 5 mg/kg/day.
Toxicity can potentially occur at lower doses with repetitive administration.
Several factors contribute to the predisposition of
children to codeine toxicity. Hepatic glucuronidation,
which inactivates codeine, is incompletely developed in
children. Other factors include drug-drug interactions
(especially in multi-ingredient preparations), the pharmacodynamics of the drug, and the underlying illnesses,
most commonly respiratory illnesses that can lead to mild
hypoxemia or airway obstruction. Morbidity and mortality have been reported from accidental overdose, intentional overdose, and misuse of the medications.7,9
Because of the availability and use of cough suppressants in adults, physicians and pharmacists should take
time to educate parents about the adverse effects of these medications in children. They should be advised that
cough in children should be treated according to etiology.
Parents should also be educated on the self-limiting course
of an acute upper respiratory infection or common cold
and the expected time of its resolution to alleviate their
anxiety and demand for the use of medications to relieve
Physicians and pharmacists need to know where to locate
information regarding which hydrocodone-containing
products are FDA approved. As previously noted, the
seven current FDA-approved hydrocodone-containing
antitussives are listed in Table 1. There are several
resources that can be utilized to find approved medications; however, the FDA website is the optimal place to
search for approved products. Currently, no OTC
hydrocodone-containing product is available or FDA
CHPA Member Companies
To Restrict Use of OTC Cough and
Cold Meds in Children Under Age Four
The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), an association that represents most of the manufacturers of over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines for children, recently announced that its members are voluntarily modifying the product labels for consumers of OTC cough and cold medicines to state "do not use" in children under four years of age. Additionally, the manufacturers are introducing new child-resistant packaging and new measuring devices for use with the products.
The steps that are being taken by the CHPA will not affect the availability of the medicines, but this voluntary action will result in a transition period where the instructions for use of some OTC cough and cold medicines in children will be different from others. The FDA does not typically request removal of OTC products with previous labeling from the shelves during a voluntary label change such as this one. Therefore, some medicines will have the new recommendation "do not use" for children under four years of age, whereas others will instruct that they not be used for children under two years of age. If parents or caregivers have or purchase a product that does not have the voluntarily modified labeling, the FDA recommends that they should adhere to the dosage instructions and warnings on the label that accompany the medication. They should not, under any circumstances, give adult medications to children. If parents or caregivers are just not sure about how to use a product, they should consult with their doctor or pharmacist.
The FDA has a website, Drugs@FDA
which provides only FDA-approved drug listings to a
query of drug names (Figure 1). Once the drug name is
searched, the site provides a table of products listed by
drug name and components. After a specific product is
chosen, it is detailed further. A table provides drug name,
strength, and dosage form and indicates whether the drug
is prescription, OTC, or discontinued. This is helpful,
since the inquirer can see which drugs are currently available. Note that the table does not offer information on
drug shortages or manufacturing issues. Therapeutic
equivalency codes (codes stating whether the FDA has
approved the drug product to be therapeutically equivalent to another) are also listed, with only those starting
with 'A' granted equivalency by the FDA. The manufacturer and date of approval are also listed, as well as subsequent web pages that state therapeutic equivalents,
approval letters/history, and labels. The website is updated
daily, which ensures current approval information and
provides data back to 1939. This website is also available
to the public to search as well.
Additionally, the FDA provides a public searchable
website that lists drug recalls, market withdrawals, and
safety information for the past 60 days
(http://www.fda.gov/opacom/7alerts.html).13 Another
webpage, the FDA Enforcement Report, provides weekly
agency actions dating back to 1995.14
The "Orange Book" (Approved Drug Products with
Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations) lists all drug products approved for safety and efficacy by the FDA under
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(http://www.fda.gov/cder/ob/). Older drugs only approved
for safety or those prior to the 1938 drug laws are not in
this reference. Any person can search this website by
active ingredient, brand name, application holder or number, or patent. The electronic data are updated monthly,
but generic drug data are updated daily.
If a product has a National Drug Code (NDC) number on the prescription label, it can be searched in the NDC directory. Just because a product has an NDC does not mean it is FDA approved; however, the NDC directory will distinguish FDA-approved and FDA-unapproved products. It is easiest to search the NDC directory by drug brand name or generic name. If only the NDC number is known, it can be searched by entering the first 5 digits (the labeler code). The next webpage provides drug product information. Next to the "FDA application No.," if a number is provided, then the drug is FDA approved. If "other" is listed, then the product has not been approved for safety and efficacy by the FDA.
A parent calls into the automatic refill telephone line and requests a refill of her three-year-old child's hydrocodone-containing cough syrup. No refills are left on the prescription, and the pharmacist notices that the product prescribed is no longer available, since it is not FDA approved. What should the pharmacist do?
There are two issues that need to be addressed at this time. First, the pharmacist should call the parent and explain why she can no longer obtain this medication for her child. Appropriate education to the parent regarding why this product is not on the market is essential. Additionally, the pharmacist should inquire why the patient is asking for refills. Is her child sick or coughing from allergies or asthma? It is important to assess the indication and make an appropriate physician referral if warranted. The pharmacist can also call and educate the physician on why this medication is no longer on the market and to provide other product options for future prescriptions.
Many physicians and pharmacists may utilize the Physician's Desk Reference (commonly referred to as the PDR), which consists primarily of FDA-approved medication package inserts. There is a selection process of manufacturers that ultimately determines which products are included in the publication; not all manufacturers participate. Thus, this reference does not include all FDA-approved medications, and the content of the hard cover version is subject to publication of new editions. General medication references such as Micromedex, Drug Information Handbook, and Drug Facts and Comparisons may provide misleading information since listed drug monographs may not state FDA approval classification. Many monographs state clinical indications and off-label uses but may not indicate whether a drug product is an FDA-approved medication. Most drug references not provided by the FDA do not specify whether a drug product is FDA approved or unapproved and should be used cautiously for this type of information.
Obtaining a package insert may assist with identifying whether a product is FDA approved. Package inserts are provided with medications and may be passed along to patients. Pharmaceutical companies will often have package inserts available in PDF format on their websites, usually listed with information about their products. It should be noted that although package inserts are available, their presence does not mean a medication is FDA approved. Obtaining the drug name, ingredients, and NDC number from the package insert and double-checking the information on the FDA websites are recommended.
Staying informed about changes in drug regulations is important. The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) of the FDA has electronic mailing lists to which anyone can subscribe (http://www.fda.gov/cder/cdernew/listserv.html).15 The Drug Safety Newsletter focuses on postmarketing information to health care providers, MedWatch focuses on medical product safety alerts, and FDA Consumer Education About Medicine provides information to consumers. These lists offer safety information that can enhance the knowledge of health care professionals and patients.
The mother of a five-month-old child is concerned that her child had been coughing for more than two weeks. The cough has been more intense with associated posttussive emesis over the past few days. She asks the child's physician about narcotic cough suppressants. She has also been sick with the same symptoms and was prescribed a hydrocodone-containing cough suppressant by her doctor. What should the physician do?
It is important to communicate with the mother about the lack of efficacy of cough suppressants in both children and adults. She should be informed of potential adverse effects associated with these medications and that young children are more susceptible to these adverse effects. Cough in children should be treated based on the etiology. In this particular case, the child was eventually diagnosed with pertussis by the physician. Antimicrobial therapy is indicated for the child to limit the spread of pertussis.
Although the FDA provides several resources to identify FDA-approved products, searching the websites can be very time consuming and confusing to health care professionals as well as the general public, especially the first time searching the databases. In addition, because the market of hydrocodone-containing products has drastically decreased, supplies of approved products may diminish and shortages could occur in the future. However, manufacturers of new hydrocodone-containing products for cough may seek FDA approval and, thus, become available.
Physicians should be aware of the types of prescriptions they are writing, and pharmacists should be aware of the medications on the pharmacy shelves to be dispensed to patients. Physicians should know the FDA status of the hydrocodone-containing products they are prescribing, and pharmacists should educate physicians on approved products if an unapproved product is prescribed. In addition, pharmacists should evaluate the OTC products sold to patients to ensure no product is circumventing the FDA approval process. Both physicians and pharmacists should educate patients and parents on the difference
between unapproved and approved FDA products.
Physicians and pharmacists should also educate patients
and parents about the appropriate use of cough preparations
in children and adults. Teaching about the lack of efficacy
and safety concerns is imperative. Nonpharmacological
therapy should be utilized when a child has a respiratory
infection thought to be a cold due to a virus. Many patients
may hoard unused medication from past prescriptions. It is
important to educate patients that they may have an unapproved medication and that they should check with a physician or pharmacist prior to use. In addition, it may not be
warranted clinically to use the medication.
Finally, pharmacists must educate patients and parents
about the appropriate use of medication dosing devices.
They should provide oral syringes and dosing spoons or
cups while showing the patient or parent how much to fill
the device to ensure the correct dose of medication is
administered. Household tablespoons and teaspoons are
not appropriate devices to use since they do not provide
an accurate dose; potential harm via overdosing can arise
from this administration technique.
Manufacturers of unapproved hydrocodone-containing
products have been mandated to stop the manufacture and
distribution of these products. Only FDA-approved
hydrocodone-containing products should be prescribed and
dispensed to a patient, if there is a clinical indication. It is
incumbent on the pharmacist to stock only FDA-approved
products and to educate physicians when unapproved
products are prescribed. These products should be avoided
in children less than six years of age for cough, since
unwanted adverse effects may occur. Caution should also
be advised in other populations as well, since adverse reactions are not limited to children. Educating patients, as
well as other health care professionals, on approved products and their proper use is warranted for the safety of
FDA Caregiver and Patient Guidelines
on the Use of Cough and Cold Products
in Children
Do not give children medications labeled only for adults.
Talk to your health care professional if you have any questions about using cough or cold medicines in children.
Choose OTC cough and cold medicines with child-resistant safety caps, when available. After each use, make sure to close the cap tightly and store the medicines out of the sight and reach of children.
Check the "active ingredients" section of the DRUG FACTS label of the medicines that you choose. This will help you understand what symptoms the "active ingredients" in the medicine are intended to treat. Cough and cold medicines often have more than one active ingredient (such as an antihistamine, a decongestant, a cough suppressant, an expectorant, or a pain reliever/fever reducer).
Be very careful if you are giving more than one medicine to a child, and make sure the medicines do not have the same type of "active ingredients." If you use two medicines that have the same or similar active ingredients, a child could get too much of an ingredient and that may hurt the child. For example, do not give a child more than one medicine that has a decongestant.
Carefully follow the directions for how to use the medicine in the DRUG FACTS part of the label. These directions tell you how much medicine to give and how often you can give it. If you have a question about how to use the medicine, ask your pharmacist or your doctor. Overuse or misuse of these products can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening side effects such as rapid heartbeat, drowsiness, suppression of the respiratory system, seizures, and other adverse events.
Only use measuring devices that come with the medicine or those specially made for measuring drugs. Do not use common household spoons to measure medicines for children because household spoons come in different sizes and are not meant for measuring medicines.
Understand that using OTC cough and cold medicines does not cure the cold or cough. These medicines only treat your child's symptom(s) such as runny nose, congestion, fever, and aches and do not shorten the length of time your child is sick.

How To Make Your Own Quality Curry Powder
Here is a curry powder recipe for those who like to try new things
I won't beat around the bush… There are good curry powders and there are those that are better left on the supermarket shelf. The good curry powders that are often used at curry houses taste fine and can be used instead of making your own. These ready made spice mixes can be found at Indian markets and other suppliers of quality spices. Just like most things, however, homemade just seems to taste that little bit better.
Although ready made curry powder may not be used by the top Indian chefs, it is an essential ingredient in most British Indian restaurant (BIR) style curries. In most curry houses, curry powder is used to quickly, easily and inexpensively add flavour to dishes. If you have a preferred curry restaurant, chances are you will agree that this works just fine.
When making BIR meals at home, however, you will most likely not be under the same pressures as curry house chefs to get many delicious meals out quickly and sill make a profit. You can take your time and make your own curry powder with slowly roasted spices that are then ground to use when needed.
This curry powder goes very well with all of my BIR curry recipes
As you will see from this recipe, I usually make small amounts of curry powder which I try to use within a few days of roasting and grinding. You will also notice that there is no salt in my curry powder as I prefer to add salt at the end of cooking.
Most ready made curry powders have a lot of salt in them which makes them taste great but they aren't all that good for you. Roasting and grinding your own spices also gives the homemade curry powder a fuller and fresher flavour.
3 Tablespoons cumin seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons fenugreek seeds
2 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon black cardamom seeds (removed from the pods)
10 cloves
2 inch piece of cinnamon or cassia bark
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon red chilli powder
1 tablespoon gram flour
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon onion flakes
1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes
3 bayleaves
Place the cinnamon, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds and cloves into a dry frying pan and place over medium high heat.
Move the spices around in the pan so that they roast evenly.
When the spices begin to smoke lightly, add the dried garlic flakes and onion flakes. Note that if you cannot find garlic and onion flakes, you can use half the amount of onion and garlic powders.
Roast for a further 30 seconds moving everything around in the pan and then remove from the heat.
Add the other ingredients and then stir to combine.
Using a spice grinder, grind the roasted ingredients in batches into a fine powder.
Store in an air tight container in a cool place.
Curry powder is best used on the day you make it though it will last for about a month without losing too much flavour.

Wow …. Your kitchen must smell heavenly . Can't beat homemade curry powder .
GREAT recipe for curry powder, I have a few versions, Cape Malay is one, and would love your views on it, will post on blog soon! Love your photos too…..Karen
I love curry. I love Indian cuisine the most, especially everything entailing red lentils. So far I´ve never tried making my own curry and I´ve always relied on supermarket stuff – now it´s the moment! Thanks for the recipe!!
Hello Dan,
I love all the spices you put into your curry powder. I can only imagine how good this smells.
Thank you for stopping by my page on facebook. Not sure how to help with your question.
Kid friendly is a matter of presentation and reducing heat level. If it is not too hot and presenting in an interesting way any meal can be kid friendly
Made lots of curry powder over the years but this has got to be the most authentic… great smell, great flavours – Thanks
Brilliant !
Hi is it possible to freeze this curry powder?
Great site!
Quick question: You say onion and garlic powder can be used instead of flakes. Are these still roasted in the pan or added after the spices are roasted?

Johnny Hincapie is serving a life sentence for the 1990 murder of Brian Watkins, who was visiting New York for the U.S. Open, but his attorney claims that there is new evidence in the case that will prove his innocence. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
Visiting from Utah to go to the U.S. Open in 1990, the Watkins family was robbed and brutally attacked on the subway. When their 22-year-old son, Brian, tried to help his parents, he was stabbed to death.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was the first deputy commissioner when the incident happened. "It sort of galvanized people's concerns and fears about traveling on the subway in those days," he said. "It was a major incident that I think helped to bring about change."
Several teens were convicted of the murder. Among them was Johnny Hincapie, who continues to say officers coerced him into making a videotaped confession.
Now, 23 years after the crime, his lawyers say that they have proof he wasn't involved. They have sworn testimony from one of the accused who had the charges against him dropped.
"He was in the subway system by the token booth when the mugging took place and the killing took place on the subway platform," said Attorney Ron Kuby. "Johnny Hincapie was with him at the token booth level when the the other six were engaging in criminal activity. Hincapie did not participate in the mugging or the ultimate killing."
They're asking a state judge to toss out the conviction.
"My son is innocent," said Carlos Hincapie, Johnny Hincapie's father.
"We always, on the table, right before we start any event, we pray for that family," said Alex Hincapie, Johnny Hincapie's brother. "We have no words. They've actually lost, at least I get to go see my brother. They don't get to see their son."
If this case is reopened, it could open some old wounds. Robert Gangi, a longtime community and policing advocate, said that it was a scary time for some.
"It was one of the incidents back in that time that contributed to the sense that a lot of people had, the impression that a lot of people had, that crime was especially out of control in the city," Gangi said.
People demanded that City Hall and the police department do something about all of the crime that was going on. Then-mayor David Dinkins decided to hire thousands of new police officers, a move that started the decrease in crime two decades ago.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MAINE IGOR MALENKO, Plaintiff, v. LORI HANDRAHAN, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) Docket no. 2:11-cv-250-GZS ) ) ) ) ORDER ENTERING DEFAULT On June 13, 2012, the Court entered its Order to Show Cause in which it provided a final warning to Defendant that it would enter default against her in light of her inexplicable failure to defend this action and comply with the Court's prior orders.

On this 2-day soft trek adventure, you'll get to see the mountainous area to the north of Chiang Mai. This area is famous for its colourful hill tribes who live in remote villages.
Day 1
Chiang Mai - Mountain Village
At around 8am you'll be collected from your hotel in Chiang Mai and travel by sÄwngthÄew (converted pickup truck taxi) to the forestry elephant training camp to the north of Chiang Mai. This is where these magnificent beasts are taught to become proficient, trustworthy forestry workers. From the elephant training camp you'll drive for about 30 minutes to a small restaurant to have lunch. After your lunch and a short rest, you'll travel for a short while further into the hills and jungle by sÄwngthÄew. Your afternoon is a little more active with a hike of between 2-3 hours to a village of the Palong people, where your guide will prepare a wonderful local meal for you. Your accommodation is simple - a small wooden hut, just like the villagers, with a mattress on the bamboo floor. A mosquito net is also provided.
Day 2
Mountain Village - Elephant Trek and Bamboo Rafting You'll wake early and with a bit of luck the chickens scratching around the village will have laid some eggs for your breakfast! Afterwards you'll climb on your elephant for a 1 hour journey through thick jungle, valleys and river crossings. Step by step, these impressive beasts negotiate their way on the difficult paths. High on their back you have a great view of the countryside. The elephants will bring you to a riverside camp where a bamboo raft is prepared for you. You'll take your place on the raft and the helmsman, armed with a long pole, will float you peacefully down the Ping river. On the way back to Chiang Mai you'll stop to visit an orchid farm, arriving back into Chiang Mai at around 4pm.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

This was not to my taste. 1 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder? This is not a chocolate cake. It's an instant coffee and a hint of orange juice cake, which don't seem to go well together at all.

Loved the flavors and texture of this. Never used savoy cabbage before and looking at all the spices in the recipe had my doubts. Was pleasantly surprised with my first bite and couldn't stop eating. The juice of 4 oranges as in the recipe is way too much for me and will probably only at 2-3 next time. Also, the first item of ingredients states 2 Tbsp + 1/2 stick, but there is no mention of the 1/2 stick in the directions. If you make this you will need to use that when wilting the cabbage or the pan goes dry.

Killing to be Kind
Buffy and I have scrapped pretty much all of our written chapters for our second novel in our trilogy, Children of the Storm, again. At one point she remarked, "This is what – our third time?" The outline fared no better under our scrutiny, but it doesn't quite have the same impact to cut a scene that's only there in theory than it does cutting one you spent so long on.
Welcome to the world of writing. It only gets more painful from here.
Sure, on the long road from writing to publishing there's no doubt that we both have become significantly better writers. Heck, I'd be willing to bet money that our skills will continue to improve as we seek an agent and a publisher. But if there's one thing I've come to believe, it's that if you really love your novel you have to be willing to edit the crap out of it. After all, what's the point of getting your beloved work out there if it isn't your best? Continue reading

I just wanted to let you know that the certification audit went well this week and we should have confirmation of our certification next week from the UKAS-accredited auditors.
Thanks to Tina hall and Steve Sears for all their hard work, advice and support during implementation of the Information Management System – I have learnt a lot from both of them, and everyone at Equas has been invaluable in creating our IMS. I know my colleague Simon is very grateful for your help as well. Even if the Health & Safety Internal Audit was a little scary at the time, it put us in a strong position for the certification audit. Please pass on a special mention to Andrew Clark (my Activ guru!) and Julian Russell for all their support too. Activ is a brilliant tool and I will happily recommend it, and Equas, to other companies as you have been a pleasure to work with.
Huge thanks again and I wish you all well.
Sarah Spencer BA (Hons) ACQIQuality Manager: Rajapack, Bedford
When I first approached Equas about 'ISO in a Box' I inferred from the name that we would be offered a 'ready-made', 'one size fits all' solution to our QMS requirements, which we knew was not what we wanted.
We were very pleasantly surprised that this was not the approach that Equas took at all.
Julian Russell, our Equas consultant, provided a very professional service. He understood our (probably unusual) requirements and tailored the service to meet them perfectly.
We started the project with Equas in late November 2012 and received our certification on 15th March 2013.
Neil MarshallCoralbyte Computers Ltd
Activ is a fabulous product and it certainly helped us achieve ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 more quickly and easily than if we had gone down the conventional paper-based route. Jonathan Lea, our Consultant, knew his stuff and was very helpful in keeping us on track and getting us certified.
I have recommended Activ to our sister companies in USA and I think they can see the benefits but so far they haven't taken the bait – keep in there!
Peter McMahonOperations Director, Ultima Displays
My experience with Equas and the 'ISO in a Box™' system has been a very good one. Equas were able to move to our pace and adjust accordingly as our needs and requirements changed. The Activ software is also easy to use and has been thoughtfully developed. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Graham WarrenChief Operating Officer. NYNet Ltd
An absolutely outstanding service doing exactly what you said you could do, on budget and on time.
I am hugely impressed. Thank you.
Ben SoamesFox Delta Security
I would like to thank Andrew and Jonathan on getting DHR the ISO 9001:2008 standard. The Activ system proves that when used correctly all the documents and procedures are at your finger tips. The managers and office staff have had no problems getting used to the new system, and are now reaping the benefits. We have now had two external audits (MCS and ISO 9001), both have been completed within one day and both auditors have been very complimentary about the ISO in a Box™ methodology and the Activ System
Colin Copestake, HR/QE ManagerDawsetway Heating and Renewables
An excellent service and an excellent product. The structure and format of your product and consultancy has provided a sound basis for Arch to gain ISO 9001 and 14001. It might have seemed painful at times but no doubt it would have been much worse without it! Thanks a lot.
Jane Moulder, Head of HRArch (North Staffs) Ltd
Posted on the Career Change Wales website www.careerchangewales.co.uk:
Congratulations go to all staff and associates of CCW-Training Academy following our successful ISO 9001:2008 assessment. I am delighted that we have achieved this Quality Management System and would like to thank Mark Pendleton of 'ISO in a Box' for his professional services. No doubt this achievement will give our clients added values to their training and in particular to our ReAct funded clients.
Mike Tan (BSc, MSc, FInstLM) – DirectorCareer Change Wales
During the course of our certification process and the transfer of all our businesses into the system I found your consultant's knowledge and skills very reassuring. His professionalism is a credit to Equas and the company felt at ease with his approach and the understanding of the business activities. We would have no hesitation in recommending Equas to any company seeking ISO certification.
Rod Hall – Managing DirectorMiddleton Group Services
I would like to thank you for your support and excellent service over the past 6 – 7 months in helping our site achieve certification to ISO 14001:2004 & BS OHSAS 18001:2007 Your consultant acted with professionalism and patience and he was prompt, polite and most helpful at all times. The service proved invaluable to our company, helping us set up and maintain the Environmental and Health & Safety Management systems using your internet based Activ System. This has already proved to be an extremely important tool and was highlighted by our Certification Auditor in his final audit report as being "a very robust and excellently documented, easy to follow management system". We have and are receiving excellent value for money from the contract with Equas and I will definitely recommend you to other organisations.
