Is there a more perfect Lifetime movie property than Steel Magnolias? This tragicomic celebration of female bonding through gossipy good times and bad, all while getting their hair done at Truvy's Beauty Spot in suburban Louisiana, has been a crowd-pleaser since its first incarnation as an off-Broadway stage play (my preferred version, where the men are kept entirely offstage). The epitome of a leave-'em-laughing-while-weeping heart-warmer, Magnolias reached its pop-cultural apex in the all-star 1989 film version, but its can't-miss universality is underscored in Lifetime's oddly genteel but ultimately affecting new TV-movie (Sunday, 9/8c), whose big twist is in the casting of an all African-American ensemble.

Colin Farrell & Christopher Walken Steal Dogs in 'Seven Psychopaths' Trailer (UPDATE: Red-Band Trailer)
[UPDATE #2] Check out the new red-band trailer after the jump.
[UPDATE] That didn't take long. See the 7 new characters posters after the jump.
[Original] What does it take to get Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harelson, Abbie Cornish, Olga Kurylenko and Tom Waits together in a movie? One stolen Shih Tzu, no joke. Its gloriously fun and absolutely entertaining, not to mention that it reteams In Bruges director Martin McDonagh with Farrell, who plays "a screenwriter who gets tangled up in a dog-kidnapping scheme gone awry." Check out the trailer for Seven Psychopaths.
Here's a quick synopsis:
From Oscar-winning writer and director Martin McDonagh comes a star-studded, blood-drenched, black comedy. Marty (Colin Farrell) is a struggling writer who dreams of finishing his screenplay Seven Psychopaths. All he needs is a little focus and inspiration.
Billy (Sam Rockwell) is Marty's best friend, an unemployed actor and part time dog thief, who wants to help Marty by any means necessary.
Hans (Christopher Walken) is Billy's partner in crime. A religious man with a violent past. Charlie is the psychopathetic gangster whose beloved dog, Billy and Hans have just stolen. Charlie's unpredictable, extremely violent and wouldn't think twice about killing anyone or anything associated with the theft. Marty is going to get all the focus and inspiration he needs, just as long as he lives to tell the tale.

The idea of the mind was first systematically explored in ancient Greece. The main figures in this exploration were the early Presocratic philosophers, Plato, Artistotle, and the Hippocratic physicians. The key issues for them were the basic nature of the mind (i.e., what it is made of), and the various parts or functions it has. They also made some early discoveries about the relation between the mind and the brain.

Tire Talk: What Are Your Tires Telling You?A guide to tire inspection and diagnosis
Tires, like windshield wipers and oil filters, are parts of your car that wear out as a result of normal use. Tires, however, have a tremendous impact on the safety of your car every time you head out on the road. Fortunately, tires seldom fail without warning and this warning often comes in the form of abnormal wear. In fact, tires are excellent at telling you whether or not they are wearing normally and, if not, what is to blame. Here we'll give you some key symptoms to look for and suggest some easy corrections.
Against the Wall
Upon examining your tires, you'll find the two primary parts are the tread and the sidewall. The tread is reinforced by multiple steel belts that provide additional protection against puncture. The sidewall is not.
Because of this difference, you will want to begin any tire inspection with a careful examination of the sidewall. Look for any cuts, bubbling, or cracking. If you find any of these, take your tires to a local tire retailer immediately for a professional inspection. Because of the delicate nature of the sidewall, it is advisable to install your spare tire before driving.
Tread Lightly
In addition to the sidewall, you'll want to give the tread a thorough inspection. Start your review by checking the depth of the tread. This will give you an idea of how many happy miles you've got left before some new rubber is required.
Every tire is equipped with several wear indicators that run across the tread in the grooves between the tread ribs. Once these wear indicators are flush with the ribs, it is time to replace the tire. Another method for checking tread depth is to insert a penny in one of the grooves with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it is time to replace your tire.
During your examination you will also want to check for any abnormal wear. If the tread depth is uneven, note where the wear is occurring. You should be able to determine its source and, if it's not too late, correct it before you eat through the rest of your tire's useful life. There are four common causes of premature tire wear: improper inflation, misalignment, lack of rotation and front end wear.
Fighting Inflation
Proper inflation is essential for normal wear on your tires. Unlike the economy, on your car low inflation is a bad thing. If your tires are under-inflated, the sidewall will sag causing excessive wear on the outside areas of the tread. Under-inflation also results in excessive heat, which accelerates wear and may cause a blow out.
Tires that are over-inflated will show wear down the middle, with the outside edges remaining in relatively good condition. This, too, is a bad thing, causing accelerated wear that will decrease your tire's life. Try dropping the pressure down a few pounds to even out the wear.
The key here is checking your tire pressure at least twice a month. Manufacturer recommended tire pressures are usually printed on a label that is placed in the driver's-side door jam. When filling your tires, note the average outside temperature. Hotter temperatures will expand the air in your tires raising the pressure by a few pounds and, at the same time, cooler temperatures will see a reduction in pressure. This is another good reason to check your tire pressure regularly.
Getting it Straight
Wheels that are out of alignment may also cause unusual and excessive tire wear. Tires that are heavily worn on one side or the other are riding at an angle and not flat on the ground. A side effect of this condition is decreased traction due to reduced contact with the road. See your local tire retailer to determine if a wheel alignment will resolve the condition.
Trading Places
A third aspect of any good tire inspection should include a comparison between the tread depths on the front and the rear tires. The rubber on the front of your car will diminish much faster than that on the rear due to increased friction when turning. The difference in wear between front and rear is amplified on front-wheel-drive cars. The simple solution for this occurrence is regular tire rotation. Front tires will always wear faster, but by swapping the front and rear tread every 6,000 to 8,000 miles all tires will wear evenly in the end.
The final test before you pass your tire inspection test is to make sure the tread is wearing evenly around the circumference of the tire. Poorly balanced wheels or worn front-end components may cause the tire to bounce on the road causing a condition known as cupping. This condition, also know as scalloping, dipping and feathering, causes areas of the tread to wear more rapidly making the tire out of round. As a result, the normally smooth tread suddenly has peaks and tips every few inches all the way around. And unless you have about $50,000 in highly specialized equipment, the only way to correct this condition is to consult a professional repair facility for a thorough diagnosis.
Now that you know the basis of tire inspection, get out there and check your tires. By keeping abnormal wear to a minimum, you'll be safer on the road and save a few bucks at the same time by replacing your tires less often.

Confused about Photopass
If I preorder it, do you forever get all the pictures taken at the parks, rides and meals or does it expire?? Also do you get any hard copies at all. I am looking at getting the + package.
You get a voucher in the mail that you then exchange at one of the parks for the PhotoPass + card, which is what allows you to add the ride and dining photos, and it's good for 14 days, starting with the day you get it. For pictures taken around the park you just use the regular PhotoPass card that you receive from the photographer and there's no limit to how long that card is good for. When you get home, you enter your card numbers in the PhotoPass website, which then uploads the pictures to your account. When you're done you then enter the code that you'll also get in the mail and you'll then get a CD in the mail with all your pictures on it.
You can find a lot of information about both PhotoPass and PhotoPass + here:
Thanks for the info! I had the same question! lol :)
photopass plus gives you only one card. so if going with multiple family memebers ypu only get one card.
regular photopass you can get as many cards as you want.
for us we have 16 members. one person will be in charge of themplus card. each family will have their own photo pass card
if you dont stay together-just write down the photo number an dhave it put on the card before the end of the evening-by taking the card back to the ride.
my question can you have those ride photos uploaded at any photopass'kiosk onsite?
I got the plus package and loved it. We did Chef Mickeys and received hard copy photos. Those and the ride photos made it worth it or me.
So confused????
Is the original photopass still free? I haven't been to disney in five years. Last time I just got a card when I arrived and ordered pics with my number when I got home. If I just use the basic, so I still have to option to purchase dining and ride photos later if I want them?:confused3

Professor Bill Herrin was named the director of the School of International Studies. He will start his new role January, 2013.
Bill Herrin Named Director of Pacific's School of International StudiesEconomics Professor Previously Taught in Uganda
Bill Herrin, a professor of economics in the College of the Pacific and the former chair of the Department of Economics, was this week appointed the director of the School of International Studies (SIS). He will begin his new role in January 2013.
For the past two years, Herrin has held a joint faculty appointment between the College of the Pacific and SIS. He was selected by an SIS search committee that included two SIS faculty members, one staff member and a student, and he was appointed by Interim Dean of the College of the Pacific, Caroline Cox.
In his new role, Herrin will supervise SIS faculty and staff and will ensure quality academic programs for its students. Herrin will report to the dean of the College with secondary reporting to the Provost's office.
"Dr. Herrin is an energetic and committed teacher and scholar who has demonstrated a passion for global education and issues," said Provost Maria Pallavicini. "He is familiar with both the SIS faculty and the COP faculty, which will help ensure a smooth transition and leverage the strengths of the two faculties to increase Pacific's international profile"
Herrin started teaching at Pacific in 1985 and served as chair of the Department of Economics from 1997 to 2003. He was appointed a full professor in 2004. At Pacific, he teaches micro and macroeconomic theory, developmental economics, mathematical economics, urban and regional economics, and the Pacific Seminar "The Tragedy of Foreign Aid."
He also has taught on several occasions at Makerere University in Uganda and was a Fulbright Scholar and lecturer at that university in 1999-2000. His most recent publication was "Migration and Wealth Accumulation in Uganda," which was co-written with Arsene M. Balihuta and Pacific business professor John R. Knight and published in the "Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics" in August 2009. Earlier this year Herrin presented a poster on "A Novel Means of Assessing Nutritional Decisions in a Poor Country: Evidence from Uganda" at the 4th Biennial Conference of the American Society of Health Economists.
On October 1, the School of International Studies became part of the College of the Pacific. SIS retains its full status as a school but administratively reports as a unit to the dean of the College.
Prior to Herrin becoming director, SIS was led for five months by Interim Dean Lewis Gale, who is dean of the Eberhardt School of Business. Before that, Professor Cynthia Wagner-Weick served as interim dean from 2010 to 2012. The most recent dean of the School of International Studies was Margee Ensign, who was appointed President of the American University of Nigeria in 2010.

Bottled Water Industy Faces Downward Spiral
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
One year ago we published an article outlining the bottled water industry's plan for dealing with a quickly spreading backlash against their products. We reported that bottled water companies would focus attention on altruistic and humanitarian efforts to hide environmental and social impacts. At the time, marketing publications were predicting that bottled water companies would employ intense 'ethical' or 'responsible' marketing, understood as tying the purchase of a product to charitable activities.
These attempts at cleverly tricking people into buying a product have failed to effectively re-invigorate lagging sales of bottled water. The continuous downward spiral of the bottled water industry over the past year is not likely to be reversed any time soon. Last year's sales figures for the big four bottled water giants (Coke, PepsiCo, Danone and Nestlé) show that sales figures have dropped significantly.
These are desperate times indeed for bottled water companies. Some industry analysts are already predicting the sell off of bottled water assets by Groupe Danone while Nestlé has publicly announced that it is slashing investment in their bottled water brands. However, these difficult times do not mean that these companies are giving up. On the contrary, in the case of Nestlé the company is resorting to facing the bottled water backlash head on through advertising and other, more aggressive means.
Nestlé, its executives, lobbyists and communication firms have their work cut out for them. The fight to have bottled water banished from municipal buildings and promote publicly delivered drinking water in North America has incredible momentum. In December the City of Toronto became the largest city in the world to pass a comprehensive policy to get rid of the bottle in City buildings and to reinvest in publicly delivered tap water. Other major urban centres, like Seattle and New York are promoting their own tap water over bottled water.
To deal with this well organized backlash Nestlé Waters North America has not resorted to the 'ethical marketing' angle, instead it has 'gone negative' by disparaging tap water, using television ads and newspaper advertisements, threatening lawsuits, aggressively lobbying city councillors and employing public relations and communications firms to push their narrative into the media. Looking at Nestlé's track record will show that this company and the industry in general, is desperately trying to hold onto their bottled water customers.
Unlike Coca-Cola and PepsiCo -- two of the big-four international bottled water companies -- Nestlé's beverage division is almost completely reliant on bottled water. Nestlé got into the bottled water business when it bought Perrier in 1992. Over the next decade Nestlé went on a shopping spree, buying a large number of small regional bottled water companies around the world. Today Nestlé owns over 70 brands worldwide.
The majority of these products are non-flavoured still bottled water. Emphasis on regular bottled water has left Nestlé vulnerable to the rapid downturn in sales of this beverage. Nestlé Waters' -- Nestlé's bottled water division -- performance has quickly declined over the past two years due to, what business analysts say is a combination of tough economic times and environmental concerns. Nestlé reported a 1.6% drop in bottled water sales in 2008. Consequently the company announced that it would cut investment in its bottled water division in 2009 indicating that the company does not see a quick recovery of bottled water sales in the near future.
Because of the amount of money it has invested in acquiring its 72 bottled water brands, Nestlé cannot simply de-emphasize its bottled water portfolio and promote other beverage brands much like what Coca Cola and PepsiCo have done over the past few months. Instead, the company must either sell off its bottled water brands or confront the backlash and invest in advertising to attract new customers.

In his letter, printed earlier this week, Dr Bellamy, a self-proclaimed global-warming sceptic, said: "The Scottish skiing season is expected to extend into May. What is more, it is almost a decade since the global high-temperature record was last broken, with world temperatures now flat-lining or falling.
"The time has surely come for the people of Scotland to realise that man-made global warming possibly never was or, if it was, that it has come to an end."...
...Duncan McLaren, chief executive of Friends of the Earth Scotland, disputed the claim that the cold winter disproved global warming.
"One year's regional statistics are not proof of a global trend and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly that the global trend is one of warming at a dangerous rate."..
Dr David Coley, global-warming expert from the Centre for Energy and the Environment at Exeter University, said there was no scientific evidence to support any theory that global warming was non- existent.
"The fact that climate change is occurring doesn't mean there's a uniform warming across the planet at any one time. It's not a simple case that everything just gets warmer without any natural variability,"
And he said the temperature of the sea was a far more accurate way to measure global warming.
"One cold winter doesn't mean anything, one warm summer doesn't mean anything," he said. "But if you look at the sea temperature, that takes a very long time to change and they are all rising."
Except they are not, slightly cooling maybe, but the most accurate readings taken by 3000 robotic worldwide sensors show that There has been no significant change of the ocean temperature since 2003. Have these "experts" got no shame?

Affymax, Takeda Recall Anemia Drug
WASHINGTON -- Drug companies Affymax Inc. (AFFY) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. (TKPYY) have issued a recall of their anemia drug Omontys after reports of severe allergic reactions in some kidney dialysis patients, including some deaths.
The companies said that more than 25,000 patients have received Omontys, which is used against anemia in patients undergoing kidney dialysis.
The companies said that 0.2% of the patients who have received the drug, or about 50, have reported severe allergic reactions and around 0.02% of patients, or about five, have died following their first dose of the drug.
The serious hypersensitivity reactions occur within 30 minutes of the drug being administered for the first time. The companies said that no such reactions have been reported subsequent times that the drug is administered to a patient.The companies said that dialysis centers should stop using Omontys and that customers will be provided with instructions on how to return the product to the manufacturer for a refund. Customers with questions can call 1-855-466-6689 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday. The two companies said they were working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the details of the recall.

it is a good drug for nasal allergies and also, for a fair number of people, effective treatment for asthma.
it is safe, not a cause of significant

28 Days
Description: Gwen Cummings is a successful New York writer living life in the fast lane and everyone's favorite party girl. She shares this roller-coaster lifestyle of hopping from dance club to bar to hangover with boyfriend Jasper-handsome, magnetic and equally attracted to life on the wild side. Life is just an exercise in debauchery-until Gwen's ungraceful display at her sister Lily's wedding, when she gets drunk, commandeers the limo and earns herself a DUI and 28 days in court-ordered rehab. There, Gwen comes face to face with a unique set of rules (like no cell phones) and rituals (like chanting) embraced by an assortment of fascinating fellow re-habbers: Eddie, Gerhardt, Oliver, Andrea, Roshanda, and Billie Jean. A jaded city girl to the core, Gwen is determined not to conform. Then she meets Counselor Cornell, who begins to break through her carefully constructed defenses and force her to take a closer look at who she really is. Ultimately, through the companionship of her group as well as a devastating loss, Gwen gradually loses her cynicism and begins the long struggle to take back her life. Maybe, she discovers, your insides can match your outsides.

Bordeaux 2010 - Part VI
by Tom Cannavan
Other left and right bank appellations
the left bank
Goulee by Château Cos d'Estournel (Médoc) 2010
Owned by Château Cos d'Estournel, this has a slightly herbal, slightly meaty character, with a dustiness to the nose. Very nice quality of coffeeish oak, and rich berry fruit beneath. Masses of sweet fruit on the palate, with a real silkiness to the oak and the tannins, the fresh orangey acidity lifting the finish in a very stylish, modern interpretation. 92/100
Château Potensac, Chapelle de Potensac (Médoc) 2010
Not giving a lot aromatically, with a slightly inky, tight aspect to the fruit. The fruit on the palate stretched a little thin across the weight of tannins. It has good acidity, and in the end I like the balance. 88-89/100
Château Potensac (Médoc) 2010
This too has that inky, fruity brightness of the Chapelle, with cherry and touch of lipsticky dryness that's almost reminiscent of Gamay. Some oak beneath and a touch of gamey earthiness adds complexity. The palate has structure, that slightly inky dryness again, but there is good balance and good acidity suggesting this might be rather nice in bottle. 89-90/100
Château Preuillac (Médoc) 2010
Very nice refinement here, an edge of cedar and exotic spice to the black fruit. On the palate delicious sweetness to the fruit. Real juiciness in this Preuillac, with a long, balanced finish. One to watch if price is right. 90-91/100
Château Bernadotte (Haut-Médoc) 2010
Meaty, quite gamy, with a richness of berry fruit. On the palate great sweetness: a really ripe, plum berry fruitiness, the lean sinewy tannin structure slicing through and moderate acidity adding more freshness. Well-balanced, though tannins are fairly chunky. 89-90/100
Château Sociando-Mallet (Haut Médoc) 2010
Earthy, dense aromatics, fruit more plummy, just hinting at a chocolaty richness, then onto the palate there is a juiciness and enough brightness to the fruit and acidity to lift this, but it is dry, concentrated and has a savoury, cherry and spice freshness and grip. 91/100
Château Sociando-Mallet, Demoiselles (Haut Médoc) 2010
Nice coffee and roasted been note of oak that has fine quality, with very good fruit. Plenty of fruit sweetness, the tannins relatively supple and this is has very modest extraction, but is charming for that. 89/100
the right bank
Domaine de l'A, Cotes de Castillon 2010
Stephan Derenecourt's own estate. Sweet, cedary overlay to the more refined black fruit here. Lovely finesse, sweet, ripe and enjoyably lightened with a touch of herbs. 90-91/100
Château La Croix Lartigue, Cotes de Castillon 2010
Fine, dense black fruit, immediate concentration. Terrific fruit sweetness and depth: massive tannins and meaty substance here, a touch beefy, but lovely purity and length. 89/100
Château Montlandrie, Cotes du Castillon 2010
Some elegance here, and more plump, forward fruit too. I like the sweetness on the palate, and I like the juiciness of the tannin and acidity, and whilst not complex, this is well-balanced and delicious. 89-90/100
Château Les Cruzelles, Lalande-de-Pomerol 2010
Has a roasted character and very ripe fruit, the coffee-bean oak adding depth and a certain New Worldy modernity. Lovely fresh fruit on the palate, with lots of tannin and substance. Not fantastically elegant, but has structure and power. 90/100
Château Moulin Haut-Laroque, Fronsac 2010
Quite a big mouthful of wine this, with lots of extraction, tannin and a fair amount of oak. Has plenty of guts and good balance. 88-89/100
Château La Vieille Cure, Fronsac 2010
A hint of coffee and woodsmoke to solid, plummy fruit. Has a density which comes through on the palate, but not aggressively: meaty and rich, with a sinewy sheen of toughness at this stage. 88/100
Château Pey La Tour, Bordeaux Superieur 2010
Very nice, fragrant nose with some cherry brightness and a nice little leafy lift. Fresh on the palate, with crisp structure and a bit of depth and spice. Potential value here. 88/100

Hart district schools have seen a big reduction in the number of students expelled or suspended over the last two years, a result of several programs in place that reflect changes in policy over the last few years, according to officials.

A change in the state's education code took effect Jan. 1, 2013, intended to lessen the number of suspensions and expulsions by school districts.
"The language explained that you're not allowed to suspend or expel a student for a first-time violation," said Kathy Hunter, the district's director of student services, "unless you can prove that the child is a danger or that you have utilized other means of correction to change the child's behavior and that has not been effective."
In addition to Sober School, which was launched earlier this year, the district now has several programs, including a fairly new intervention-type curriculum, geared toward educating the student the issue or issues that are causing a specific behavioral problem, as well as correcting the behavior.
This came after an understanding that suspensions and expulsions aren't always the best way to address a discipline problem, Hunter said.
"A suspension or expulsion is not specific to helping them learn a new behavior," Hunter said.

There are a few exceptions, which are rarely seen in the district, to the rule on expulsions and suspensions, said Hunter, who oversees attendance and boundaries, expulsions and suspensions, counseling and guidance and disciplinary policy for the junior high and high school district with more than 22,000 students.
If one student threatens another student with a knife, brings an explosive device — more akin to a bomb as opposed to a firecracker, or commits sexual violence against another student, among a few other exceptions, officials can suspend the student immediately, she said.
In 2011-12, there were 1,763 non-duplicated student suspensions, and 76 students expelled for various violations of William S. Hart Union High School District policies, according to the California Department of Education website.
In the 2012-13 school year, there were 1,709 students suspended and 25 students expelled in the William S. Hart Union High School District, according to the California Department of Education. Hart district officials report there's an error on the state site, because the figure is actually 15. Both numbers represent a substantial drop.
Across the state, the total number of expulsions decreased by 12.3 percent, from 9,758 in 2011-12 to 8,562 in 2012-13. The total number of suspensions—either in-school or out of school—dropped 14.1 percent, from 709,596 in 2011-12 to 609,471 in 2012-13.
Hunter attributed the local reductions to several programs the Hart district put in place well before the state changed the Education Code.
"We went ahead and did a number of things," Hunter said. "We started off with a committee of folks who were mostly administrators working on what are called other means of correction."
This resulted in a number of collaborative programs, such as TIDE, which is a joint project between the Action Family Zone and the Hart district for first-time offenders or drug-related violations that are not preceded by significant behavioral issues.
The three-day program is aimed at teaching students how to make better decisions, how to set goals and how to have an "anti-drug" — meaning if a student has other things in their life, it provides a motivation to not want to do drugs, she said.
If this program is unsuccessful, there are other alternatives, such as the more intensive Sober School program.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station officials also take part in various programming, as well as those who work with the Santa Clarita Valley Domestic Violence Center.
"We have a lot of volunteers who come and speak to the kids," she said. "Students, parents and faculty have all been happy with the addition of this program. It's a place to send students to get some help with what could really be a lifestyle problem."
The district is continually looking to help these students, Hunter said, which was one of the reasons why the district began instituting a policy of student contracts, following a behavioral concern.
"Really, when you look at it and the whole purpose of discipline," Hunter said, "it is to teach a child a new behavior."

While not as common as it once was, gout still afflicts nearly 900 out of every 100,000 people, and is the cause of nearly 5% of all instances of arthritis.
Natural Medical Solutions for Gout
No less a personage than the famous Henry VIII had gout. Often dubbed the "disease of kings," it was a frequent result of the rich diets old monarchs ate. In his later years, this painful joint condition, coupled with osteomyelitis, made Henry VIII unable to exercise as frequently as he used to, and he became morbidly obese. While the royal court was celebrating New Year's in 1541, Henry was unable to join in the festivities, and left his ex-wife Anne of Cleves to dance with Queen Catherine Howard while he went to bed to nurse his aching joints.
What is Gout and what are the Symptoms?
Gout is an arthritic condition that occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate in joints and surrounding tissues. These sharp crystals result in joint pain, inflammation, and heat. Extreme tenderness is common, sometimes to the extent that sufferers of gout are unable to tolerate having a bedsheet on the afflicted joint while they sleep. Gout attacks can also come and go, and the skin around a joint may peel and itch as an attack is fading. The joint of the big toe is the most commonly affected area. Chronic gout develops over years and is virtually indistinguishable from other varieties of arthritis, but acute attacks of gout are also common.
What are the Causes of Gout?
Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood, which eventually allows crystals of this waste to form in joints and the tissues around them. High levels of uric acid in the blood usually have no other symptoms, and can be caused by a number of factors. Diet can play a large role in uric acid levels, particular the consumption of rich foods, and large quantities of meat or seafood, both of which contain large amounts of the amino acid purine. Some medications can also cause uric acid buildup, as can kidney disease, lead poisoning, or certain genetic conditions that predispose individuals to high uric acid levels, like Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
What are the Natural Remedies for Gout?
Natural remedies for gout include resting the affected joint or joints, discontinuing medications that might cause or exacerbate the condition, and reducing dietary consumption of rich, fatty, or purine-heavy foods. Some supplements are very effective to ease gout symptoms and reduce uric acid levels.
What Diet I Typically Recommend?
Reduce or avoid the following high purine foods:
• Organ meats
• Muscle meats
• Poultry
• Sardines
• Anchovies
• Beans
• Peas
• Spinach
• Mushroom
• Asparagus
• Whole Grains (unless they are soaked overnight before they are cooked)
• Yeast
• Eat less beef. Most servings of beef are far larger than necessary. A single serving of meat should be approximately the size of a deck of cards, and even that should only be consumed sporadically..
• Alcohol increases uric acid, especially beer and it needs to be avoided because it will bring on attacks.
• Drink lots of water. These help the kidneys dilute waste and flush it out of the system easily.
• Weight loss- uric acid tend to decrease in people that are initially overweight.
• Sugar- high intake of sugars also increases uric acid. Often I put patients on a 3 week detoxification program, which is very low on sugars and I believe that is one of the mayor contributors to the disappearance of their symptoms.
Supplements I Typically Recommend:
A number of supplements may be beneficial to help avoid acute gout flare-ups, and control chronic forms of the illness:
Homeopathic Colchicum 3x. This remedy operates on the principle that "like cures like," and can help users overcome gout symptoms when taken over time. Acute attacks of gout in toes and foot joints may also derive some relief from homeopathic Aconite 12 C.
Dark cherry concentrate or cherry juice (not cocktail) can help gout sufferers by reducing inflammation. Similarly, flax, bilberry, chamomile, and other anti-inflammatory food pharmaceuticals have demonstrated some efficacy at helping gout patients.
Folic acid (10-30 milligrams a day) and Vitamin C- 2-4,000 milligrams a day in divided doses have been shown to decrease uric acid levels.
Herbal diuretics like cranberry, dandelion, corn silk, and other herbs to support kidney function and uric acid elimination can help ease gout symptoms by improving the efficiency with which the body disposes of the excess uric acid that accumulates in joints.
Copper- I use 1-2 milligrams a day. Copper deficient patients have higher levels of uric acid.
Chromium- 100-200 micrograms a day cal also be beneficial.
Quercetin- 500 milligrams twice a day is often part of my protocols.
Other Important Treatments
Cold packs and lukewarm Epsom salt baths can be used by to treat the heat and inflammation of a gout flare-up.

Research Interests
My research is mainly focused on identification and characterization of virulence factors involved in the intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the etiological agent of Tuberculosis) and Mycobacterium avium (prevalent pathogen in HIV-patients). I identify M. tuberculosis effector proteins secreted within the human macrophages and dissecting cellular processes, targeted by these effectors, through genetic, bioinformatics and proteomic approaches to gain insights and establish the mechanism of mycobacterium pathogenesis. I also study the bacterial response to anti-tuberculosis compounds (new and in use ones) to understand fundamental aspects of M. tuberculosis response to therapy. The multidisciplinary approaches employing bacterial genetics, high throughput screening libraries, gene knockout systems, cell biology, high-resolution microscopy and mass-spectrometric techniques are used in the laboratory.

Wait Before Buying a Nexus 7 Tablet: Consumer Reports
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The independent researchers and testers at Consumer Reports magazine are suggesting readers wait before purchasing a new Nexus 7 Android tablet until Google (GOOG) provides fixes for some of the "glitches" being reported.
Although first declaring the Nexus 7's "size, price and display quality make a killer combination" new user complaints have forced Consumer Reports to update that recommendation to "despite its many positive features, you may want to wait before you buy one."
Despite the reported software flaws, Google shares were gaining 0.25% to $875.86 early Friday.
The glitches testers found include touchscreen misbehavior such as missing or repeated touches and keystrokes. Consumer Reports found its sample wouldn't allow its testers to properly use the built-in Swype keyboard.There are also major problems being reported concerning the Nexus 7's GPS functions. The magazine found the tablet's Maps app froze after 10 minutes of outdoor use despite near perfect weather conditions. Google, for its part, has confirmed the reports of problems with the new Asus-built unit and said it has been busy working on fixes. Late Thursday, on the company's Nexus 7 discussion group, it was announced that a new software update was currently being rolled out to address the keyboard issue. The blog post asks users to let Google know if the fix helps solve their problems. No solution was mentioned for the reported GPS glitch. Consumer Reports advised readers that it discovered these problems in the latest version of the Nexus 7 tablet. It's the model introduced just a few weeks ago, not the best-selling original tablet released last year. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Whose lipstick is it, anyway? The hidden health costs of (toxic) cosmetics
Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images
A model has eye make-up applied in preparation for The Royal College of Art Fashion Show on June 10, 2010 in London, England.
These days, health-conscious consumers are extremely careful about everything they put in their bodies – foods made with natural, organically grown ingredients, free of toxic chemicals, help us feel we're doing the best we can for our health. But what about the products we spray, rub and lather on our bodies? Shampoos, deodorants, lotions and cosmetics, which may contain potentially carcinogenic ingredients, receive very little oversight by the FDA. A new bill introduced in Congress this year aims to give the FDA the power to regulate personal care products. Not surprisingly, the bill has received opposition by the industry, which is pumping separate – less intrusive – legislation. How much do you know about your shampoo? How much do you want to know?

Starting at 10:00am ET today, IHG Rewards – the loyalty program of Intercontinental, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn and more – is holding another limited-time flash sale on award reservations where you can score a discount of up to 75% (discounts are 25-75%) on standard rates at participating properties. This is a nice counterpoint to the chain's PointBreaks discounted awards of 5,000 points per night at random properties all over the world.
The flash sale will run for 48 hours from 10am ET today until 10am ET on Wednesday – but these awards tend to go fast, so I would book as quickly as possible to ensure you can get a reservation. The discounted points rates are applicable for stays between November 20 – December 20, 2013.
You can find the full list of properties here, but some of the interesting ones include:
Hotel Indigo New York City-Chelsea (25% Off) for 33,750 points
InterContinental Bali Resort (25% Off) for 26,250 points
InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong (25% off) for 37,500 points
InterContinental Sanya Resort (25% Off)f for 26,250 points
InterContinental Adelaide (25% Off) for 30,000 points
Holiday Inn Bilbao (66% Off) for 5,000 points
Crowne Plaza Verona-Fiera (75% Off) for 6,250 points
Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre (25% Off) for 26,250 points
Hotel Indigo San Jose Forum Costa Rica (75% Off) for 5,000 points
Crowne Plaza Resort Mazatlan (75% Off) for 5,000 points
And several more. While the properties are a bit random – and many are in China – if you find a hotel or destination you're interested in on the list, you might as well get a decent discount out of it.
If you need IHG Rewards Club points quickly, they transfer 1:1 from Chase Ultimate Rewards (note: transfers usually take 1-2 business days) if you have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold or Ink Plus cards. The IHG Rewards Visa is also currently offering a sign-up bonus of 80,000 points when you spend $1,000 in the first 3 months. That would be enough for 16 PointBreaks nights.
Or simply buy them via Priority Club directly for .7 cents a point using the cash & points method described in this post (#7), making 5,000 points worth just $35.
