Probiotic products were seized by U.S. Marshals after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) complained that the products were marketed as drugs. The company who sells the probiotic products claims that the products will prevent or treat disease, which is in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. More information is provided in the FDA News Release.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has produced a series of fact sheets on specific herbs and botanicals. Find information on common names, uses, potential side effects, and other information by choosing any of the 45 herbs or botanical fact sheets.
The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) new cooking guidelines for meats include a reduced "safe" cooking temperature for whole cuts of pork to 145ºF (down from 160ºF). They recommend using a food thermometer and allowing a three-minute rest time before serving. For whole cuts of beef, veal, and lamb, the safe temperature is the same—145ºF—but the new guidelines add a three-minute rest time after these meats, too, are removed from a heat source. For additional information, including the recommendations for cooking ground meats and poultry, read the new cooking guidelines.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers to stop using dietary supplement products that claim to be antimicrobial (antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral) drugs. These products are falsely promoted to treat upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and colds, and they look like antimicrobial products sold in Mexico. More information, including product names, is provided in the FDA Press Release.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a press release to consumers warning them about a counterfeit product being represented as the dietary supplement "ExtenZe." The counterfeit product has hidden ingredients, including tadalafil or a combination of tadalafil and sildenafil, which are active ingredients of FDA-approved drugs, making these products unapproved drugs. Taking these products with prescription medications containing nitrates could lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. More information, including the lot numbers on the counterfeit packages, is provided in the FDA Press Release.
Tainted dietary supplements most often occur among products typically marketed for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding. They can have deceptive labeling as well as undeclared, harmful ingredients. The question is: How can consumers protect themselves from these products?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently taken some steps to help consumers look out for potentially harmful dietary supplement products. Consumers and healthcare professionals can receive notifications from the FDA by subscribing to the RSS feed. The Commissioner of Food and Drugs also sent a letter to the dietary supplement industry reminding them of their responsibility to prevent the sale of tainted products in the United States. The FDA has also made it easier to report to the FDA about tainted products.
Some of these tainted dietary supplement products contain active ingredients of FDA-approved drugs or other compounds that are not classified as dietary ingredients. These products can have serious side effects, including death. The FDA has identified roughly 300 tainted products that are not legal dietary supplements and are warning consumers about the serious side effects of these products. Consumers should be cautious of:
- Product ads that claim to "melt your fat away," or claim that "diet and exercise [are] not required," or products that use the words "guaranteed," "scientific breakthrough," or "totally safe."
- Products that use numerous testimonials about "results seen" from using the product.
- Any product that is labeled or marketed in a foreign language. Consumers should not buy or consume these products.
- Products that are marketed as herbal alternatives to FDA-approved drugs.
- Products marketed and sold on the Internet.
There have been some recent voluntary recalls due to FDA investigations of dietary supplement products. Some of these have included weight-loss products that contained the prescription drug ingredient sibutramine. Sexual enhancement products have also been recalled for containing the undeclared drug ingredients sulfosildenafil and tadalafil. Other products marketed as supplements have been identified as containing various prescription drug ingredients.
It is important that consumers be aware that, under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, companies do not need FDA approval prior to marketing such products. Thus, generally speaking, the FDA does not approve dietary supplements.
Consumers need to be savvy when they make product purchases, and when in doubt, check with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine if you need a dietary supplement product and to help determine what could be a tainted product. If it looks too good to be true, chances are it is. For more information, read the "FDA's Beware of Fraudulent 'Dietary Supplements'."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found nearly 300 fraudulent products–promoted mainly for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding–that contain hidden or deceptively labeled ingredients.
We've seen all the recent news and reports about energy drinks and the concern about the amount of caffeine in these products. Now a new wave of products is gaining attention, aimed at helping us relax, reducing our anxiety, and helping us sleep. These "relaxation beverages," or "anti-energy drinks," contain ingredients such as melatonin, valerian root, kava, St. John's Wort, L-theanine, rose hips, and chamomile. A great number of relaxation beverages have been introduced into the market over the last three years, with names such as "Dream Water," "iChill," "Vacation in a Bottle," and "Unwind." Consumers of any age can buy these drinks in convenience stores, college campuses, and online.
Part of the problem with these relaxation drinks is that some of their ingredients, particularly melatonin, have not gone through the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval process required for all food ingredients to be designated as safe or GRAS ("generally recognized as safe"). Melatonin is a hormone made by the body, but it is also available as a supplement and is often used to treat sleep disorders and jet lag. The FDA sent a warning letter last year to the manufacturers of the "Drank" beverage saying, "there is no food additive regulation in effect that provides for the safe use of melatonin…Likewise, we are not aware of any basis to conclude that melatonin is GRAS for use in conventional foods." The manufacturers of "Drank" want their product to be classified as a dietary supplement, not as a beverage, since the FDA scrutinizes foods and beverages much more closely than dietary supplements.
People who have liver problems, liver disease, or are taking prescription drugs should be cautious about using the herb kava, an ingredient found in some of these relaxation drinks. Kava has been linked to severe liver injury, and the FDA issued a consumer advisory in 2002 with a warning that kava-containing dietary supplement products have been associated with liver-related injuries, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. Valerian root, a medicinal herb, is used to treat sleep disorders as well as anxiety. Although some research has been conducted on the effects of valerian on insomnia, the data are mixed, and no studies have tested the safety and effectiveness of the combination of ingredients found in relaxation beverages.
The marketing of relaxation drinks is also of concern, as it is geared toward a younger crowd, with bottles resembling the look of popular energy drinks and shots. The concern is that young adults will think nothing of having more than one of these a day. Some of these beverages have warnings on their labels stating that users should not consume them before operating/driving machinery or if pregnant or nursing.
What's the bottom line? Buyers beware! There's no magic pill, and there's no magic beverage. Try to determine the causes of your stress and/or insomnia, address those issues, and then work towards establishing a healthy lifestyle overall.
A recent New York Times article reports that scientists are worried about highly caffeinated beverages like Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster and Full Throttle, which are popular among teenagers and young adults. According to the article, the often bizarre combination of ingredients in these drinks prompted three researchers from the
Health Science Center at Houston and the University of Queensland in Australia to examine what is known — and not known — about the contents of these beverages, which are sold alongside sodas and sport drinks in supermarkets, drugstores and highway rest stops.Click below to access the article.

Mauricio Pochettino's appointment at Southampton may prove to be a good move in the long run - but it's another blow for young British coaches making their way in the game.
It's hard to think what more out-going boss Nigel Adkins could have done since he arrived at St Mary's two-and-a-half seasons ago.
After overseeing back-to-back promotions, which lifted the club from the depths of League One to the Premier League, Adkins had the pre-season relegation favourites playing good football and three points clear of the drop zone.
He was doing a brilliant job, considering the players he had at his disposal, and just days before his sacking he'd followed up a win at Aston Villa with a draw at European champions Chelsea.
But Nicola Corsese, the executive chairman, obviously felt they should be higher up the league and opted to bring in a foreign replacement. It's his decision, but it highlights the fact current Premier League executives just don't trust British managers.
Until British managers are given opportunities at the top clubs we'll never find out how good they can be.

Perhaps they don't think they have the tactical knowledge or technical skills to be successful at the highest level. However, until British managers are given opportunities at the top clubs we'll never find out how good they can be.
Would Manchester United take a chance on a young Scottish manager in charge of Aberdeen these days? I don't think they would, yet when Sir Alex Ferguson got the Old Trafford job in 1986 every manager in the top flight was British. Now, 11 Premier League clubs have a non-British manager at the helm.
In contrast, European clubs are backing their home grown talent.
In La Liga there are just eight non-Spanish bosses in charge, in the Bundesliga and Serie A there are only two non-native coaches managing clubs, while Italy's Carlo Ancelotti is the only foreign coach in France's Ligue 1.
Perhaps the fact 12 out of 20 Premier League clubs are now foreign-owned plays a part. Roman Abramovich at Chelsea is a fine example: during his 10-year tenure at the London club they've not had a single permanent British manager.
But who's to say a British manager wouldn't have matched or bettered the results of the foreign coaches he's brought in? I've no doubt Everton boss David Moyes would have done a better job than Luiz Felipe Scolari!
The FA adopted a similar approach a few years ago with the appointments of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello - at great financial expense. However, Roy Hodgson showed that on the international stage England are just as well off with an Englishman in charge by matching the achievements of his Swedish and Italian predecessors and guiding the Three Lions to a quarter-final of a major tournament last summer at Euro 2012.
Despite taking a lot of money from the FA, what legacies have Eriksson and Capello left for England? Hopefully with the opening of St George's Park that will change now and Hodgson will be able to inspire and advise young British coaches to follow his path.
The problem is, until there's a change of mind set among Premier League owners there won't be any opportunities for those up-and-coming British coaches.
And I fear it will take something as dramatic as someone such as Moyes moving to a club such as United and winning the league before the perceptions of owners start to change.

the english managers dont get the time or the resources to be competitve these days. look at david moyes as an example. not much to work with but doing a great job and is always overlokked for any 'high profile' jobs because he hasnt got the pedigree. how can he if he doesnt get the chance. lee clark is another. had an amazing run with huddersfield and got over looked for any jobs going in the top flight so had a ount at birmingham. its not going great but he hasnt got much tat his disposal. hard to make a name with so calld smaller clubs

Phoenix Suns
Former Suns coach D'Antoni regrets leaving Phoenix
Mike D'Antoni regrets leaving the Phoenix Suns to coach the New York Knicks.
In an interview with ESPN.com, the new Los Angeles Lakers coach admitted he made a mistake.
"I shouldn't have gone to New York," he says, looking down at the sideline in Memphis, pacing on that unstable right leg.
"I should have stuck in there and battled. You don't get to coach somebody like him [Nash] too many times. It's pretty sacred and you need to take care of it. I didn't."
D'Antoni has never told Nash this.
Nash remained with the Suns until the summer of 2012, when a sign-and-trade deal was orchestrated to send the two-time league MVP to the Lakers.
At the time he left, D'Antoni and the Suns were coming off a rather tumultuous year in 2008. Steve Kerr had taken over as GM, the team traded Shawn Marion to the Miami Heat for Shaquille O'Neal, and Phoenix fell to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.
In the article, D'Antoni admitted he was frustrated with how the season went and "probably irrationally made a decision" as soon as the season ended. Looking back, he says he probably should have waited a little bit before making any kind of move.
Interestingly enough, though, there were some who thought it was a mutual parting between the Suns and their coach. After all, Kerr wanted a greater emphasis on defense, and asked D'Antoni to hire a defensive assistant to help on that end of the court. It was believed the coach took offense to the idea that his way of doing things would not get the job done, and thus decided to bolt.
Turns out, the Suns were not really looking to replace their coach until they had to.
When the Knicks job came open in the spring of 2008, the Suns let him go.
"No. It was me," D'Antoni admits now. "I initiated it and I probably shouldn't have."
The Suns have gone through two coaches since then, as they hired Terry Porter to replace D'Antoni and then promoted Alvin Gentry to replace Porter. Phoenix reached the Western Conference Finals in 2010, but has landed in the lottery each of the last two seasons.
As for D'Antoni, he won just 121 games over more than three seasons in the Big Apple before resigning in March of 2012. The Lakers hired him to replace Mike Brown in early November.

According to the articles: "The unfolding disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant follows decades of falsified safety reports, fatal accidents and underestimated earthquake risk in Japan's atomic power industry." Where
have we heard this before? It never fails to amaze me that change always has to be the result of catastrophe. Whether it be Hurricane Katrina, the Indonesian Tsunami or the terrible disaster that occurred in Japan no government officials are ever held accountable with what only can be described as criminal negligence.
Rousseau's treatise on the social contract suggests that "individuals unite into a society by a process of mutual consent, agreeing to abide by certain
rules and to accept duties to protect one another from violence, fraud, or negligence." {Wikipedia}. Hence the existence of government and the number one priority; protection of its citizens. Sadly this is happening less and less to the point where government is compromising {and hence forfeiting} the right to govern. The question before the Japanese people is: did your government fail to act in your best interests or was it compromised by self interest? Why must it be accepted that this is "business as usual" and "the way things are done". When did governing stop including responsibility as
a part of its makeup? Perhaps the Japanese people need to reexamine the character {or lack thereof} of it's governing officials and put systems in place that prevent this type of negligence from continuing to occur. It is
obvious from the revolutions sweeping the Arab nations that leaders chose to squeeze everything they could from their citizens until it was too late. Hosni Mubarak, Zine El Abidine, Ben Ali and soon Bashar al-Assad must all
be executed {just as Muammar Gaddafi} for crimes against humanity. Japan, now it is your turn to make change. Enough with FUK-U-SHIMA.

Gift Certificates for an "experience" are just about the most thoughtful gift you can give. You are not saddling the recipient with "stuff" that lies around collecting dust, and you are not just giving cash – which seems so impersonal. Instead, you are giving them a little push to get out and have some fun. Whether it is for dinner, a massage, a concert or a travel destination, you are giving them an "experience" that they might not have had – and, perhaps, memories to last a lifetime.
Over the years, we have hosted dozens of couples staying with a gift certificate and we know that it is always appreciated. It is wonderful to have arriving guests admit that this is their first experience in a bed and breakfast and they are here because their kids gave them a gift certificate. They often don't know how to act or what to expect, and we always try a little harder to make sure the first experience will lead to many others. It doesn't take long to get used to the experience.
Of course, we think the very best experience anyone can have is a relaxing weekend stay at Deerhill Inn in beautiful southern Vermont. We have thirteen wonderful rooms to choose from and a really "amazing" dinner by Chef Michael Allen.
You can purchase our Gift Certificates for dollar amounts, or for a specific room. Give us a call for details or go to the Gift Certificates link on our website and buy online.
It's a gift that can't fail to please.

Vegan Cappuccino Brownie Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square brownie pan with greased parchment.
Whisk to combine:
1/2 cup organic GF buckwheat or millet flour* see notes
1/2 cup sorghum flour or fine brown rice flour
1/2 cup organic cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon Authentic Foods Vanilla Powder- or 2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
1/3 cup vanilla non-dairy milk
And add in:
2 rounded teaspoons of instant decaf coffee or instant espresso crystals. Stir to dissolve the coffee. Set aside.
1/2 cup organic coconut oil or Spectrum Organic Shortening
1 cup packed organic light brown sugar
Ener-G Egg Replacer for 2 eggs mixed with warm water- or 2 large organic happy eggs
Add the coffee milk to this and beat.
Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir/beat by hand until smooth. Gluten-free batters are stiff- but if this batter is *too* stiff, add a tablespoon of rice milk or two until it softens a bit.
Add in:
3/4 cup Enjoy Life or other allergen-free chocolate chips, and additional chips for topping, if desired
Mix well. It will come together as a sturdy batter much like fudge. If the batter is too dry to stick together, add another tablespoon of rice milk- or two- until the batter can form into a ball.
Dump, press and smooth the brownie batter into an 8-inch square baking pan. I use a narrow silicone spatula to do this, then finish with dry hands.
Sprinkle the top with extra chips, cocoa powder and cinnamon.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the brownies are fairly firm to the touch and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean (check twice if you hit a melted chocolate chip).
Cool on a wire rack before slicing. Sprinkle with cinnamon again before serving.
- I like to freeze my brownies for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting. This makes a neater bar. Then I wrap each bar in foil and freeze in a freezer bag.
- I use buckwheat in my flour mix because it's higher in protein and fiber than typical gluten-free flours and starches. You could always sub with your own favorite hearty flour. But I wouldn't use starches in this recipe- the texture might change.
Makes 9 to 12 bars.

The driver was killed. Emergency vehicles, including ambulance and emergency medical technicians, fire truck and police were at the scene, plus numerous town officials, who cut the power to the lines so that the emergency crews could work safely.

Nashville, Tenn. — It figures to be a busy four days day here in Music City for at least one American League Central team, and not necessarily the one you'd think.
The Royals, all of a sudden, have a bevy of trade chips at their disposal, and might just spin one or more of them off in their continued quest to upgrade their starting rotation.
Already this offseason, the Royals have re-upped with right-hander Jeremy Guthrie (three years, $25 million), who looked like a whole new man after arriving in a summer trade from the Rockies; and decided to take a chance on right-hander Ervin Santana, acquired in a trade from the Angels.
Santana, 29, struggled in 2012, going 9-13 with a 5.16 ERA, because he couldn't keep the ball in the ballpark. He allowed a career-high 39 home runs.
But from 2011-12, he was 28-22 with a 3.65 ERA, with a no-hitter mixed in there.
It's been starting pitching that has prevented the Royals from finally taking off. Their rotation's 5.01 ERA was fifth-worst in baseball last year.
Their run total wasn't through the roof, simply because they had the sixth-best bullpen in the game.
The Royals aren't in a position yet to spend with the big boys, so any more upgrades will have to come via the same route it took to get Guthrie and Santana: trades.
And they possess one of the most valuable trade chips on the market: outfielder/third baseman Wil Myers, a third-round pick out of high school in 2009 who is coming off a monster year split between Double A and Triple A.
Myers, 21, batted .314 with 37 homers and 109 RBIs amid cries from Royals fans to bring him up.
Before 2012, Baseball America had him the No. 28 prospect in the game. Yeah, that's gonna change.
Rays hungry for hitting
One team to keep an eye on here: the Rays. They are absolutely starving for offense — Monday's acquisition of first baseman James Loney is nowhere near enough, of course — and seemingly have been dangling right-handed starter James Shields for two years.
It's time for somebody to bite, and the Royals make perfect sense. Shields, 30, is under contract for 2013 ($9 million), and there's a team option for 2014 ($12 million). That'd be $21 million for two years, just as sound an investment as the Guthrie deal, even if it's one less year.
Shields is 31-22 with a 3.15 ERA and 14 complete games over the past two seasons. For some perspective, Tigers ace Justin Verlander has completed 10 games in the same span.
The Rays aren't going to be able to keep Shields, not having just dished out a franchise-record $100 million extension and with ace David Price's free-agent clock ticking.
The Royals probably wouldn't be able to keep him long-term, either. But a two-year flyer — which would give them a rotation of Shields, Guthrie, Santana, Bruce Chen and whoever — might be worth it, considering it looks like the team is better set up to challenge the Tigers than the rebuilding Indians or Twins, or the White Sox, who greatly overachieved in 2012.
Another option could be Red Sox lefty Jon Lester. He's 85-48 for his career, but is coming off his worst season. Interestingly, that could play into the Royals favor — and perhaps allow them to swing a deal without having to part with Myers.
Lester also only has one year left until free-agency. That's good for the Royals, in that the cost to swing a deal probably would be down. That's bad for the Royals, in that it'd be only a short-term fix.
The Royals with Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas and Alcides Escobar, have the offense. They have the bullpen. And soon, they might finally have the starting rotation.
Indians' issues
The Royals, who at 72-90 finished third in the AL Central in 2012, definitely are a team to watch down here in Nashville, though so are the Indians — but for a different reason. They're rebuilding, though then again, to rebuild, you'd actually have to be built in the first place.
And the Indians, who have collapsed the last two second halves — costing Manny Acta his job; Terry Francona is the new manager — have issues.
That's why you're hearing just about any name of substance in the rumor mill, including shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (they traded for Mike Aviles), outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, closer Chris Perez, and starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. All could be trade candidates.
Cabrera figures to be the most appealing, because of the lack of quality free-agent shortstops.
Ballclubs looking for a closer certainly would find Perez a more savory alternative to Rafael Soriano, who wants twice as much money ($60 million) than he's likely to get.
Choo could be interesting, given the surplus of free-agent outfielders available.
Trade for Twins?
The Twins, too, might be looking to swing a trade. They've already made one, shipping outfielder (and Tiger killer) Denard Span to the Nationals for a top pitching prospect Alex Meyer, who, at 6-foot-9, is an inch taller than Detroit's Doug Fister.
Now all eyes may turn to another outfielder, Josh Willingham, who is coming off a monster season and is under contract for two more years for just $14 million. He could draw more interest than Choo, who's a free agent after next season. Choo, though, has a cannon for an arm.
Really, the Twins will have to listen to just about every offer, considering they've won just 129 games the past two seasons combined. That means first baseman Justin Morneau and catcher Joe Mauer, though the backlash for trading Mauer — the poster boy and hometown boy — would be immense.
As for the White Sox, it's always tough to tell what way they're leaning. GM Kenny Williams likes to cry poverty or talk about "rebuilding," often right before making a significant move.
They've already made one big move this offseason, locking up starter Jake Peavy through 2014, with a player / vesting option for 2015. Now they have to make a decision on catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who swears he's giving Chicago no hometown discount this time, coming off a career year.
Catcher isn't their only hole though. They're also out a third baseman, and need starting pitching.
That's a far cry from the Tigers, who'll be the favorite to win a third straight AL Central title, even if they slip into a coma this week and the roster remains in April as it is today.
There are no dire concerns for Detroit, rather just areas of potential improvement. Those, of course, include shortstop and left field. They'd love to pilfer another shortstop from the Indians, as they did Jhonny Peralta in 2010, and would more than welcome Diamondbacks star Justin Upton in left, though the sky surely wouldn't fall if they started Jhonny Peralta and Andy Dirks in the two spots on Opening Day 2013. The Tigers also probably are seeking an insurance policy for closer, in case flame-throwing rookie Bruce Rondon, at 21, isn't ready for the job.
The winter meetings kicked off this morning at Opryland Hotel and Convention Center, and end Thursday with the annual Rule 5 draft.

Comments about Champion Men's Eco Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie:
I've purchased many Champion sweatshirts over the years, both pullover and zip-up. The zip-up has an additional advantage. A pullover is on or off. There is no regulating the warmth. With a zip-up, you can lower the zipper if you start getting too warm. You can even unzip it all the way to keep your torso from overheating while still maintaining the warmth of your arms. The hood works well, and is a big plus when the temperature drops and you need more warmth. The side pockets are secure and can hold a checkbook, an iPhone, etc. Champion offers great value for your money. Their products last for years and have that classic athletic look. I live in these sweatshirts daily for the 5 cool months of the year.

During the ┬Ż hour ride to the farm, there will be trackside demonstrations from actual beekeepers in their normal protective bee "suits' displaying how they "smoke" the bees in order to remove the frames so they can extract the honey and honeycombs. A docent will be on-board the train narrating the demonstration and describing the rural scenery. Once at Bennett's Honey Farm, passengers will be led by a docent for a tour of the processing facility.

Nov. 11, 2011 (Chicago) -- People with gout should make sure their uric acid levels are under control -- even if they're not experiencing symptoms of the painful arthritic disorder.
"Many people are walking around with uncontrolled uric acid levels and we used to not worry about it -- if they're not having symptoms, who cares?" says Eric Matteson, MD, MPH, head of rheumatology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
But new studies show that high uric acid levels in the blood are associated with a nearly 20% increased risk of developing diabetes and a more than 40% increased risk of developing kidney disease.
Uric acid is a chemical substance that can build up in the blood to a higher than normal level and lead to gout.
High Uric Acid and Diabetes
For the new studies, researchers reviewed the records of about 2,000 men with gout in a Veterans Administration database. None had diabetes or kidney disease at the start of the study.
Eswar Krishnan, MD, assistant professor of rheumatology at Stanford University, presented the findings here at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting. Krishnan consults for Takeda Pharmaceuticals International, which makes a gout medication and funded the study.
Over a three-year period, 9% of men with gout who had uncontrolled uric acid levels developed diabetes, compared with 6% of those whose uric levels were under control.
After taking into account other risk factors for diabetes, this corresponded to a 19% higher risk of diabetes in those with uncontrolled uric acid levels.
A blood uric acid level greater than 7 is considered uncontrolled.
Risk of Diabetes and Kidney Disease
The risk for an individual person might not be much. But the National Institutes of Health estimates that 6 million U.S. adults have had gout at some point in their lives, many with uncontrolled uric acid levels. That translates to tens of thousands of people at risk of diabetes and kidney disease, Matteson says.
A second study, conducted by the same researchers using the same database, showed that over a three-year period men with gout who had uncontrolled uric acid levels had a 40% greater risk of kidney disease compared to men with controlled uric acid levels.
The studies do not prove that uncontrolled uric acid levels cause the health problems but show an association of elevated levels to these health problems.
"Gout is a vastly undertreated disease," Matteson says. "Now we're finding that elevated uric acid, by itself, even if you have no gout, is associated with higher rates of heart attack, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, even death due to cardiovascular disease."
Still, it would be advisable to get uric acid levels under control, through diet or medication, he says.
Most importantly, maintain a healthy weight, Matteson says. Obesity is a major risk factor for all these conditions.
These findings were presented at a medical conference. They should be considered preliminary as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.


text: 06 May 2013 09:00 Etihad Airways and South African Airways have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) allowing the two airlines to introduce a comprehensive range of codeshare and interline air services as well as explore synergy and efficiency opportunities. • Etihad Airways to have access to 10 cities in South Africa and African continent.• South African Airways to codeshare on 12 Etihad Airways flights to Abu Dhabi and beyond.• Airlines to explore joint procurement, training and maintenance opportunities.• Provision for reciprocal 'earn and burn' with frequent flyer programs.Initially Etihad Airways will place its 'EY' code on flights from Johannesburg to 10 South African Airways destinations across South Africa and the African continent as well as South America. In return South African Airways will place its 'SA' code on 12 of Etihad Airways' global routes flying from the UAE national carrier's Abu Dhabi home-base. The agreement also makes provision for passengers to earn and redeem miles through the airlines' frequent flyer programs. Secondary phases of the cooperation agreement will explore code sharing to more cities, closer synergies and efficiencies in the key commercial areas of procurement, drive incremental revenue opportunities, ground handling as well as training. James Hogan, Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "This impressive, multilayered, partnership will enable Etihad Airways and South African Airways to achieve significant goals in several different global markets as well as collaborate on a number of key commercial initiatives. "This strategy, of working closely with partner airlines to serve secondary cities in a market, has been highly successful for Etihad Airways around the world and we look forward to build upon our already strong relationship with the team at South African Airways to extend our footprint in the strategically critical African market." Nico Bezuidenhout, SAA's acting Chief Executive Officer, said: "This extensive commercial agreement will enable SAA to access the vast majority of Etihad Airways global markets. We are pleased to build upon the commercial areas of the agreement which are fundamental to a modern airline partnership. Ms Dudu Myeni, SAA's acting Chairperson, said: "This partnership provides SAA customers with vital, instantaneous, and seamless access to 12 key destinations in the Middle East and beyond. It will also broaden SAA's network through alliances and strategic partnerships, which, is our long term view."The first phase of the agreement will see the 'SA' code placed on the Etihad Airways flights between Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi, as well as on flights to 12 cities on Etihad Airways' worldwide network that includes destinations in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Etihad Airways will place its 'EY' code on South African Airways' flights from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth, as well as to Livingston, Lusaka, Ndola, Harare, and Victoria Falls. Outside the African continent Etihad Airways will place its code on South African Airways' flights to Sao Paulo. Collectively, the two airline groups expect to carry more than 20 million passengers in 2013. The agreed cooperation between the two airlines is in line with Etihad Airways' highly successful global alliance strategy in which the Abu Dhabi-based airline works with partner airlines to identify potential areas of cost savings as well as opportunities to achieve economies of scale. The tie-up coincides with the signing of codeshare agreements between Etihad Airways' equity alliance partners, Air Seychelles and Jet Airways*, and South African Airways. Etihad Airway also signed a partnership agreement with Kenya Airways, the national flag carrier of Kenya, and places the Etihad Airways "EY" code on up to 27 Kenya Airways destinations across East and Central Africa. *Subject to regulatory approval Contact Us As a truly international airline, we have a genuinely global presence.

Lohse tries to lift Brewers' spirits vs. Padres
Milwaukee righty has been rare bright spot in otherwise tough season
Ron Roenicke said this has been the toughest year in his three years since becoming Brewers' manager.
His team came into the season expected to contend in the National League Central, but has a record of 41-58 in a season hampered by injures. Then, the Brewers found out on Monday that their slugger Ryan Braun will be suspended for the remainder of the season.
"This year's been a rough year," Roenicke said. "There's been a lot that's happened. I'm pretty comfortable in knowing that these guys can move on.
"They moved on last year when we had the big injuries that really hurt, and then we moved on this year when we've had the injuries that really hurt. They're pretty good and focused in on what we need to be to try to win games."
Things should return to normal on Wednesday, when the Brewers take on the Padres at Miller Park for the third of a four-game series.
One bright spot for the Brewers has been their free-agent pickup, right-hander Kyle Lohse. In his last 10 starts, Lohse is 5-1 with a 2.63 ERA.
The Padres have taken the first two games of this series, including a 6-2 win on Tuesday -- the first time they have won consecutive games since June 20-21.
Sean O'Sullivan will start in place of the injured Jason Marquis, who will have reconstructive elbow surgery that will force him to miss the rest of the season.
O'Sullivan is a San Diego native who admitted to being a little nervous in his last start -- July 12 against the Giants, in what was his first career start for the Padres. He grew up rooting for the Padres and then got to pitch in front of a sold-out crowd of 42,361 at Petco Park.
"There were some extra nerves and excitement going into that one, pitching for my hometown team," O'Sullivan said. "It was almost like it was my [big league] debut all over again."
He only allowed two runs, but needed 102 pitches to get through five innings.
"My goal this time is to go farther into the game, that's something I take pride in," O'Sullivan said. "And I want to attack the zone. [The Giants] were spoiling good pitches, turning them into six-, seven-pitch at-bats. I'm looking for early contact and turning it over to our defense."
Padres: Street tweaks his slider
Closer Huston Street hasn't allowed a run in his last six outings, thanks to a new grip on his slider.
Pitching coach Darren Balsley suggested the adjustment, intended to produce a tighter spin and sharper break.
Street struggled early in the season, allowing 10 home runs in his first 26 1/3 innings, although he has only blown one save in 18 chances.
"The last three weeks have started to feel more right for me," Street said.
Brewers: Rodriguez traded to the Orioles
The Brewers traded reliever Francisco Rodriguez to Baltimore for third baseman Nick Delmonico on Tuesday.
The 21-year old Delmonico was drafted in the sixth round by Baltimore in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, and was the fifth-ranked prospect in the Orioles' system. He hit .244 with 13 home runs and 30 RBIs in 60 games with Class A this season.
Rodriquez had converted all 10 of his save opportunities for the Brewers this season with a 1.09 ERA.
Worth noting
• Brewers outfielder Khris Davis hit his first career home run in the eighth inning on Tuesday. Davis will be one of the players that will help replace Braun in the outfield. His homer ended a streak of 11 consecutive scoreless innings by the Padres' bullpen.
• Will Venable went 3-for-5 on Tuesday to improve his career average at Miller Park to .397 (25-for-63), the third best all-time at that ballpark.

I must add to what is already above...and more.A few blocks south of Balmoral (the corner where GL pies were sold) on Ravenswood and Wilson or Leland is Spacca Napoli...as good as it gets, and faster by a jillion years.GL was and remains a strock (as in crock of...) of luck. Winfrey had one or two and it was hyped from there.Any entrepreneur who would allow customers to wait in line for two hours, then tell customers to go home because the kitchen was out of ingredients, deserves to be dragged by horses up and down Clark Street for hours. Of course, that applies to idiots who would wait too...that place only seated 8/10.By the way, they never, as far as I know, were open on time nor to closing time...save the first few weeks, maybe.Needless to say, you can imagine what they think of their customers and what they put on their pies. etc.I hope these two loonies go fargin broke and never appear on the eats horizon again, anywhere. Couple of a--hats.
