Epstein Barr virus hepatitis: case series and review.
Key Words: Epstein Barr virus, EBV, hepatitis, liver dysfunction
Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection often causes a triad of fever, sore throat, and adenopathy, referred to as infectious mononucleosis. Gastrointestinal manifestations are frequently present, but often unrecognized. These include mild elevations in transaminases (two to three times the upper limit of normal), abdominal pain, and hepatosplenomegaly. Less commonly, jaundice ([less than or equal to] 5% of cases) and hepatitis with moderate levels of transaminase elevation (5 to 10 times) may occur. Rarely, death may ensue from fulminant liver failure or splenic rupture. I report a case series of acute EBV infections among military trainees who presented with significant hepatic involvement, along with a review of the literature.
Case Report
Patient 1
A 19-year-old Caucasian male presented with a 10-day history of fever of 102[degrees]F, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. He had no significant medical or surgical history. The patient was found to have a total bilirubin of 3.0 mg/dL (normal, 0.4-2.0 mg/dL), direct bilirubin 1.9 mg/dL, albumin 3.5 g/dL (normal 3.5-4.8 g/dL), alkaline phosphatase 309 U/L (normal 38-126 U/L), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 276 U/L (normal, 17-63 U/L), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 246 U/L (normal 15-41 U/L), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) 412 U/L (normal, 99-192 U/L), prothrombin time of 12.3 seconds, and an INR of 1.2. The patient was instructed to discontinue use of acetaminophen and was empirically treated with ciprofloxacin, loperamide, and promethazine.
On follow-up, the patient reported vomiting as well as pale-colored stools. His vital signs were normal. Remarkable physical examination findings included scleral icterus, jaundice, and hepatomegaly. Laboratory values showed a white blood count of 14,800/[mm.sup.3], with 78% atypical lymphocytes, a total bilirubin of 6.1 mg/dL (direct 3.8 mg/dL), and an alkaline phosphatase of 496 IU/L; transaminase levels were falling. Ultrasound revealed hepatomegaly (17 cm) with diffuse hyperecho-genicity of the portal triads of the liver, consistent with periportal edema/infiltration. There was no ascites or ductal dilation, and the gallbladder was normal. Hepatitis serologies (A, B, and C) as well as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody tests were negative. EBV IgM was elevated with a positive monospot test. The patient's symptoms and abnormal laboratory values resolved without intervention over three weeks.
Patient 2
A 21-year-old male without a significant past medical or surgical history presented with two weeks of headaches, fatigue, sore throat, and fever. He was initially diagnosed with sinusitis, but returned to clinic after the onset of epigastric abdominal pain and nausea. The patient had a low-grade fever of 100.7[degrees]F; examination findings included hepatosplenomegaly, icterus, and jaundice. Laboratory values showed a white blood count of 11,400, with 42% atypical lymphocytes, hemoglobin 13.7 g/dL, platelets 140,000, total bilirubin mg/dL of 6.0 (direct 4.1 mg/dL), albumin 4.2 g/dL, alkaline phosphatase 369 U/L, ALT 400 U/L, AST 294 U/L, LDH 1,010 U/L, ammonia level of 37 [micro]mol/L, prothrombin time 13.5, and an INR of 1.3.
Ultrasound of the right upper quadrant revealed hepatomegaly (20 cm) with adenopathy in the porta hepatis and splenomegaly. The gallbladder appeared small and contracted, but with normal wall thickness; there was no intrahepatic or extrahepatic ductal dilation. A monospot was positive. The patient was admitted for IV hydration; he had complete resolution of his symptoms and laboratory abnormalities within three weeks.
Patient 3
An 18-year-old male presented with fevers, chest pain, cough, dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting. On examination, he had a temperature of 100.7[degrees]F, bilateral respiratory rales, and crepitus of the upper chest. His white blood count was 6,300/[mm.sup.3], with 89% neutrophils, hemoglobin of 13.9 g/dL, platelets 219,000/[mm.sup.3], total bilirubin 0.8 mg/dL, albumin 2.1 g/dL, alkaline phosphatase 57 U/L, ALT 73 U/L, AST 123 U/L, LDH 485 U/L, prothrombin time 17.1, and an INR of 1.4. Chest x-ray revealed multilobar consolidations and pneumomediastinum. He was diagnosed with a community-acquired pneumonia and treated with ceftriaxone and azithromycin. A workup of the etiology of the pneumonia was negative, including respiratory and blood cultures; serologies for Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae; ASO titer; and nasopharyngeal swabs for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, influenza and parainfluenza viruses.
The fevers continued and the patient developed pancytopenia on hospital day #2, with a white blood count of 1,300/[mm.sup.3], hemoglobin 13 g/dL, and platelets 111,000/[mm.sup.3]. Peripheral smear showed no schistocytes. His laboratory studies worsened on day #5, with an albumin of 1.7 g/dL, ALT 441 U/L, AST 847 U/L, LDH 1,134 U/L, and alkaline phosphatase of 126 U/L. Due to these findings, gastroenterology was consulted and additional blood tests were performed including a hepatitis panel for A, B, and C and an HIV viral load, all of which were negative. A monospot and EBV IgM were positive. Ultrasound showed mild splenomegaly without liver or biliary pathology. The patient was diagnosed with acute hepatitis and pancytopenia attributed to EBV and a multilobar pneumonia of uncertain etiology. He was discharged on day #10 with clinical and laboratory improvement.
Epstein-Barr virus infections were first clinically described over a century ago, and the causative agent was described nearly 40 years ago. (1,2) Most EBV infections are asymptomatic and acquired in childhood, with a seropositivity rate of 90 to 95% by age 18. Symptomatic disease typically occurs among adolescents or adults who were not exposed during childhood; it occurs more frequently in developed countries where transmission rates during childhood are lower compared with the developing world. Among military personnel, infection is symptomatic in approximately 10% of cases; the frequency of symptomatic disease among other adult populations is usually higher. (3,4)
The most common presentation of EBV is the constellation of fever, sore throat, and adenopathy, referred to as infectious mononucleosis. Abdominal discomfort and nausea are noted in 2 to 15% of cases. (4-6) Mild hepatic involvement is particularly common, occurring in 80 to 90% of cases as an asymptomatic, self-limited elevation of the hepatocellular enzymes (AST, ALT, and/or LDH). Typically enzymes are two to three times the upper limit of normal; levels elevated greater than 10 times are less likely due to EBV and an alternate etiology should be sought. (7) Alkaline phosphatase is increased in 60% of cases. Bilirubin is mildly increased in 45% of cases, but jaundice is rare ([less than or equal to]5% of cases). Two of the cases presented here had jaundice; cholestatic hepatitis from EBV has recently been reviewed, although the mechanism remains obscure as there is no biliary obstruction noted on imaging studies. (8,9) Liver function abnormalities occur most often during the 2nd week of illness, and resolve within two to six weeks. (7)
On examination, 50 to 60% of patients have splenomegaly, and 6 to 14% have hepatomegaly. (10) Jaundice may be due to either cholestatic hepatitis or hemolytic anemia. Any patient presenting with jaundice should have a complete blood count and peripheral smear evaluation, especially if the indirect bilirubin is high, to exclude hemolysis. (11) Abdominal ultrasound evaluations may show an enlarged liver and/or spleen as well as adenopathy in the porta hepatis or periportal edema. Rarely, gallbladder thickening and ascites have been reported. (12,13)
Histologic findings of EBV-associated hepatitis include minimal swelling and vacuolization of the hepatocytes, as well as infiltration with lymphocytes and monocytes in the periportal areas. Mononuclear cells within the sinusoid areas in an "Indian Bead" pattern have also been described with EBV infections. (14) Bile ducts may be mildly swollen, but obstruction is rare. (15) An evaluation of a case of EBV-associated hepatitis showed that the virus did not infect hepatocytes, but rather, infiltration of CD8 T-cells led to indirect hepatic damage. (16) Although another study did demonstrate the presence of EBV within hepatocytes, (17) the host's B- and T-cells remain implicated as the predominant cause of hepatitis. The immune response may explain the periportal inflammation and adenopathy seen in some of the presented cases.
Severe liver injury is rare; however, when it occurs, it is a leading cause of death among patients with acute EBV infection. (18,19) Most fulminant cases occur post-transplantation or are associated with immunodeficiencies such as HIV, X-linked lymphoproliferative disease, or during cancer chemotherapy. (16,20,21) Other potential abdominal complications associated with acute EBV infection include splenic rupture after rapid enlargement (usually occurring during the 2nd or 3rd week of illness). Pain in the left upper quadrant, which may radiate to the left scapula, and falling hemoglobin are suggestive of splenic rupture; in such cases, an emergent splenectomy is necessary. EBV may also cause lymphoproliferative disorders and lymphoma that may involve the liver and spleen (22); it has been suggested as a trigger for autoimmune hepatitis, although conclusive data is lacking. (23,24)
EBV may rarely cause chronic or recurrent infections lasting over a long period of time (>6 mo) in apparently immunocompetent hosts and is referred to as chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV). (25,26) Some patients with CAEBV develop severe, and sometimes fatal, liver disease. (25-27) Recently, chronic EBV infections have been linked to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among Asian patients; its association with HCC in other populations remains debated. (28,29)
The diagnosis of EBV hepatitis is suggested by the appropriate clinical symptoms and laboratory findings and confirmed by a positive EBV IgM antibody, monospot, and/or heterophile antibody test. False-positive monospot tests may occur in association with HIV, endocarditis, and acute hepatitis A. (30) Occasionally, serologic tests are unremarkable, and the diagnosis must be established by the use of polymerase reaction testing. (25) Given overlapping clinical presentations, other potential viral etiologies of hepatitis are typically considered, including CMV, varicella zoster virus, herpes simplex virus, hepatitis A, B, and C, and HIV. Leptospirosis, syphilis, brucellosis, drug-induced, autoimmune, ischemic, Wilson disease, and Q-fever are considered in the appropriate clinical setting.
Treatment of EBV is usually supportive, and most cases of hepatitis resolve spontaneously. Steroids and antiviral medications (eg, acyclovir, ganciclovir) have been utilized to treat cases of severe EBV hepatitis, (25,27) but randomized studies have not been performed. Liver transplantation has been utilized in one case of fulminant EBV hepatitis. (19) It is recommended that patients avoid abdominal trauma in the presence of splenomegaly and refrain from hepatotoxins until liver abnormalities resolve.
Mild EBV-induced hepatitis is a common finding during infectious mononucleosis and usually is asymptomatic. This case series shows that more significant liver involvement may occur including jaundice, moderate transaminase elevations, and periportal inflammation and adenopathy on ultrasound examinations. EBV should be included in the differential of patients presenting with liver abnormalities, especially in the setting of fever and pharyngitis.

Lady Antebellum wins song of the year Grammy
Eminem was the leading nominee with 10, but his chance of a huge Grammy sweep was diminished as he lost five of the awards in the pre-telecast ceremony. He still picked up one - best rap solo performance, for "Not Afraid."
Eminem still had a chance to win the top awards of the evening, including the elusive (for him) album of the year category. But the gifted and twisted rapper might get tripped up by some fierce competition, including a song that rivals him for coarseness - Green's "(Expletive) You," which is in competition with Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna, in the record and song of the year categories.
Eminem's "Recovery" was 2010's best-selling album and a favorite to win in the album category. It marked a major comeback for the rapper, considered one of the greatest but who had been addled by a prescription drug addiction and critical malaise in recent years. It is the third time he's been nominated for album of the year; he's lost twice before.
But he also faces tough competition in the category, from the likes of Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" and Lady Gaga's "The Fame Monster." Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" are also nominated.

Tulfo brod asks QC court to junk amparo petition of Raymart, Claudine
More News from Julie M. Aurelio
MANILA, Philippines—Saying a writ of amparo covers human rights cases, broadcast journalist Erwin Tulfo has asked a Quezon City court to dismiss such a petition of show-biz couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto against the Tulfo brothers.
Tulfo, through lawyer Nelson Borja, sought for the dismissal of the couple's petition, arguing that a writ of amparo does not apply to cases of alleged threats and oral defamation.
"It is indubitably clear that the writ applies only as a legal remedy of extrajudicial killings, abductions or illegal arrests, and threatened violations of basic human rights, which are absent in the present case," Tulfo, one of the hosts of TV 5's "T3," said in a seven-page motion.
Last week, Judge Bayani Vargas of Regional Trial Court Branch 219 issued a temporary protection order against Tulfo and his brothers Ben and Raffy, who are his T3 co-hosts, barring them from getting within 500 meters of the Santiagos.
This was after the show-biz couple sought court protection against the T3 hosts, whom they accused of airing threats against them on their TV show.
The controversy stemmed from a brawl involving their older brother, Inquirer columnist Ramon Tulfo, and the Santiagos early this month at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
In his pleading, Erwin pointed out that under the law, a writ of amparo covers extralegal killings, enforced disappearances or threats.
He cited the case of Raymond and Reynaldo Manalo against the Department of National Defense, who were allegedly abducted, detained and tortured.
According to Erwin, the criminal cases against him and his brothers are just simple cases of alleged threats and oral defamation.
"Judging from the context of alleged threatening and/of defamatory remarks uttered by the Tulfo brothers in their T3 Program of TV5 last May 7, 2012, the same does not fall under the principles in the landmark ruling of the Manalo brothers," he said.
The motion added: "To say the least, the Manalo doctrines involved human rights abuses …, while those filed against the Tulfo brothers are just plain and simply cases of alleged threats and oral defamation—notwithstanding the public apology then repeatedly uttered by Erwin Tulfo the next day, dated May 8, 2012 in the same T3 Program of TV5."
He added that under the law, a separate petition for the writ cannot be filed once a criminal action has been filed.
The Santiagos have also filed a criminal complaint against the T3 hosts before the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office.
"It is most respectfully prayed … for this Honorable Court to take a second look on (sic) the instant petition, and as the interest of justice requires, by dismissing the same motu proprio," Erwin said in his motion.

Casual Parenting

Movie Hype
Star Rating:
Jason (Adam Scott) and Julie (Jennifer Westfeldt) are successful New Yorkers who have been friends since college. They're now in their thirties, and are the only two in their circle of friends to have avoided marriage and children. They watch their friends – couples Missy and Ben (Kristen Wiig and Jon Hamm) and Leslie and Alex (Maya Rudolph and Chris O'Dowd) – as they become increasingly short tempered and detached from their social lives as they raise their children. They then determine that the pressures of romance and marriage got in the way of being responsible parents. Jason and Julie both want to have a child, but at the same time, they want to avoid the relationship pitfalls their friends have fallen into. So they come up with the idea of having a child together while simultaneously being free to pursue other relationships.
I've heard of casual sex before, but casual parenting is a new one on me. It's the basis of
Friends with Kids
, which not only stars Jennifer Westfeldt but was also written and directed by her. On the levels of narrative, structure, theme, and characterization, this movie is profoundly wrongheaded. It regards the decision to have a child not as a serious commitment but as the basis of a social experiment. The leads go through the first ninety minutes or so believing they can have their cake and eat it too, only for them both to have inevitable dime-store epiphanies about whom they love and what they want out of life. In the middle of all this is their toddler, a son named Joe, who never asked to be a part of his parents' relationship game-playing any more than he asked to be born. These people are appalling.
Westfeldt develops the lead characters as a pair of witty urban philosophers, always with the constant observing and repetitive jabs at their respective love lives. Jason is by far the worse of the two, as he spends much of the first hour making sarcastic remarks and crude sexual references, especially about breasts and vaginas. Both are such incessant talkers that it's a wonder how Westfeldt found enough paper to print their dialogue on. You hear them gab away, caring not about their son or their new partners or even their obligatory revelations about one another; you just want them to shut up. The same can be said for the four supporting characters, especially the men. Alex in particular has a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, which makes me wonder why Westfeldt tries to pass it off as yet another joke.
Into Jason's life enters Mary Jane (Megan Fox), a dancer and theater actress. She seems to be the perfect match for him; apart from her noticeable feminine assets, a plus for Jason, she's also not looking to have kids and knows how to have the kind of fun Jason likes to have. How can this work with Joe in the picture? Not a problem – Jason simply drops him off at Julie's place. She does the same thing to Jason when she goes on her dates. It must be nice having the luxury to dump your kid off at someone else's house when it best suits you to do so, because, as we all know, that's what parenting is all about. She doesn't fare as well as Jason in the dating department until she meets Kurt (Edward Burns), a divorcee, a father, and an all-around nice guy. He's probably the only decent character in the entire film.
Two people have found their ideal partners. Or have they? Julie eventually begins to wonder if she loves Jason as more than a dear friend and a baby daddy. Indeed, the two are intellectually and emotionally compatible, but that only deepens the mystery of how their son came into the picture. On the basis of how they were established in the opening scenes, neither Julie nor Jason would believably come to the decision to have a baby. They're simply not the parental types. In spite of this, Westfeldt depicts them both as loving and attentive parents, doting on Joe in every scene they share. This comes off as grossly inauthentic. To an extent, it also comes off as cruel. If they love Joe so much, why would they be in an open relationship during his formative years? This would only confuse him.
As the film nears the end, it transitions from an awful alternative parenting comedy to a soppy romantic drama, one that hinges on a hopelessly predictable outcome. I wouldn't have minded this so much if the film had been founded on a premise that actually worked. You know me – I give passing grades to romcoms all the time, usually when no one else does. There's more to it than my willingness to see them as the fantasies they truly are; there's also the fact that, by and large, such fantasies are harmless, good-natured fun. In the case of
Friends with Kids
, we're dealing with a fantasy one should never indulge in. Parenting is not about working your child into your dating schedule. It's a twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week commitment. If that's too much of a sacrifice, perhaps you should consider getting a dog.

heh. I know a few folks who I'd like to shut up LOL! Joseph liked this one a little, and between your review and his, I've decided to give it a rental one day. Nice one, Chris! I'll be back...
March 11, 2012
I do too. I think everyone does. It's strange, because some of my favorite films are dialogue heavy. These would include anything written by Aaron Sorkin. The difference is that, unlike this film, he gives his characters lines that are funny, intelligent, and insightful.

FRIENDS WITH KIDS Written and Directed by Jennifer Westfeldt Starring Jennifer Westfeldt, Adam Scott, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O'Dowd, Ed Burns and Megan Fox I don't know if you've heard this one before but indulge me a moment. Couples, no matter how much chemistry they have, be that physical or emotional, will inevitably crumble to pieces when they bring kids into their lives.

To you and I, Jason Dufner and Brandt Snedeker don't look a lot alike. But to Snedeker's three-year-old daughter, Lily, well, maybe there are more similarities than we think.

Kiddie-Friendly Food Comes to Soho
Categories: Featured
Susie's Supper Club, the tot-centric meal delivery service that recently received a lengthy La Fabricant write-up, will be expanding its Brooklyn operation into a cafe it will run in the Citibabes space in Soho (think of it as Soho House for the disposable diapers set). The cafe, which will serve the usual sandwiches and salads, will be up and running by the beginning of September.

Laments such as this one from James Traub always bug me:
The president who once made an open-handed offer to the world now delivers a harsh challenge. The president who once fixed his gaze, and that of his audience, on the global problems looming on the horizon now speaks of urgent crises requiring instant action. The tribune of hope and change now speaks modestly of hitting singles and doubles. The president has been well and truly mugged by reality.
Wake up America! Barack Obama was always a realist masquerading as an idealist not the contrary! He hasn't changed, he is being himself because you married him twice and he no longer has to pretend that he is the one, your prince charming!

Former Tennessee associate head coach Tony Jones (at left in photo, next to angry Bruce Pearl) has accepted a job as the head coach at Alcoa High just outside of Knoxville, a source confirmed to CBSSports.com on Tuesday.
An official announcement is expected Wednesday.
This development means all three assistants who worked under Bruce Pearl until they were fired last March -- essentially because Pearl lied to an NCAA investigator about violations committed at his home -- have now secured other jobs. It also highlights just how far of a drop each assistant had to take to gain employment with an NCAA cloud still hanging above their heads.
Jones, again, is now a high school coach. Former Vol assistant Steve Forbes is now the head coach at Northwest Florida State College -- a junior college in Florida. Former Vol assistant Jason Shay is Forbes' assistant.
Pearl, meantime, remains unemployed.
But he received a $1 million buyout from Tennessee that his assistants did not get.
So working this year isn't crucial.

Wayne Rooney says no repeat of 'stupid' behaviour for England
WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: ENGLAND v SAN MARINO
- Venue: Wembley Stadium
- Date: Friday 12 October
- Kick-off: 20:00 BST
Coverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 live and BBC website
Wayne Rooney insists there will never be a repeat of the behaviour that limited his Euro 2012 campaign.
The 26-year-old missed England's opening two games in the summer after being sent off in the 2-2 qualifying draw in Podgorica a year ago.
"That was a stupid thing to do. I regretted it the moment I did it," said Rooney, who will captain his country against San Marino on Friday.
"I apologised to the players and paid the price. That won't happen again."
Rooney will lead England in Friday's World Cup qualifier at a sell-out Wembley in the absence of suspended Steven Gerrard and his injured deputy Frank Lampard - with a promise that his fiery temperament is now fully under control.
England's top goal-scorers
49: Sir Bobby Charlton
48: Gary Lineker
44: Jimmy Greaves
40: Michael Owen
30: Sir Tom Finney, Nat Lofthouse, Alan Shearer
29: Wayne Rooney
The Manchester United striker missed England's matches against France and Sweden after being sent off for kicking Montenegro's Miodrag Dzudovic in the draw which secured England's place in Poland and Ukraine.
Rooney, who was first given the captain's armband in the 1-0 defeat by Brazil in Doha in 2009 and who wins his 77th cap on Friday, said: "If you have seen my performances after that at club level you will have seen the difference.
"I have cut out a lot of the silly tackles and silly mistakes I made as a young lad."
Rooney also says he has put behind him the sort of headlines he made when he criticised England's fans into a television camera following the dismal goalless draw with Algeria in Cape Town at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"It was partly to do with my own performance. I was partly looking to justify my own performance," said Rooney. "The England fans have been great. They're always there in their thousands and since then I'm a different person and a different player. I've matured."
The words from Rooney, who will go clear into fifth place in the list of all-time England goalscorers if he scores twice against San Marino, came against the backdrop of the new England code of conduct introduced by the Football Association.
Manager Roy Hodgson said: "It was introduced partly because the FA is very keen to make sure the [behavioural] style of the Euros - which compared favourably to some of the things that happened previously - was continued.
Last England v San Marino meeting
"I had dreamt about it but I never thought it would happen. It was so hard for us to score against anybody, let alone a team as big as England" - Davide Gualtieri about his goal for San Marino against Graham Taylor's England in 1993
"It is conduct we must all adhere to. I had a very interesting discussion with England rugby union coach Stuart Lancaster. He was very keen to make sure everyone was singing off the same hymn sheet.
"I suppose this written code of conduct will at least enable everyone to say we're singing off the same hymn sheet, we all know the words of the hymns so let's make certain we don't make any mistakes with our singing.
"There is a risk it may be elevated to a position it maybe doesn't deserve in the sense that every single thing that happens to a football player anywhere in England is going to be discussed in terms of a code of conduct, but I rather hope it won't quite come to those proportions.
"We really do have to try and behave well at all times but I would like to make the very simple point that we are human beings. We didn't descend on earth from some heavenly body somewhere. Mistakes do happen but are aware our conduct is under a bit more scrutiny than most.
"If we behave well we can do a lot of good and when we behave badly, unfortunately we do a lot of harm."

Oh yes Bunter Rooney is a real role model - a mediocre player and immoral and greedy person. Unfortunately,I'm sure he's just the sort of person young people aspire to be.

"We should make the player with the most caps automatically captain and end the massive circus."
That would be Ashley Cole, now that wouldn't have been a controversial choice then.

Rooney is maturing and will make a good captain. But he really needs to move to one of the bigger clubs to acheive his potential.

I think England should be sorry for their mistake. The creation of Wayne Rooney on October 24th 1985.

"What amazes me is that we haven't had an intelligent alternative for years - surely the law of averages dictates that we must produce a player with a positive number IQ at some stage in the next decade?!
Lampard has an IQ in 150s which is v. high, also did well at school passing all his exams with good grades. Articulate and comes over as a well balanced individual in his interviews.
Comment number 142. Posted by Jimmyon 12 Oct 2012 17:04
Are all 141 comments sour, miserable and toxic? I do wonder why people bother commenting on these articles if they dont like the national team and "refuse to watch". I dont like a lot of sports and thus dont spend a moment of my time reading articles on them. Are you all so self-important that you feel the need to express your misery to strangers on the internet?
Comment number 141. Posted by Dwshivaon 12 Oct 2012 16:36
@129 KingEric
And Owen has 10 more goals than shearer, and all he gets is slated to.
Comment number 140. Posted by THIS IS THE NEWSon 12 Oct 2012 16:33
As I think has been previously mentioned, the fact that Fergie chooses Rio '*Twit*ter' Ferdinand and Patrice 'i'm going on strike' Evra over Rooney as captain for Man United says it all really.
What amazes me is that we haven't had an intelligent alternative for years - surely the law of averages dictates that we must produce a player with a positive number IQ at some stage in the next decade?
Comment number 139. Posted by VoiceOfReasonon 12 Oct 2012 15:50
@105 Funniest comment of the day!
People say Rooney never performs well for England...look at Milner and Barry - complete waste of space. It's one thing being professional, it's another performing well. One goal behind Shearer in the all-time list? Yeah, Rooney is a dreadful player. Get the facts right.
Comment number 138. Posted by Stephen Marshon 12 Oct 2012 15:35
135: I thought you were talking about me there and the infamous indoor lunchtime footie tournament back in 2004 where I scored 4 goals and my mate Dave Hodgson forced me sing the national anthem whilst I screamed and kicked him..
Comment number 137. Posted by 17foxdaleon 12 Oct 2012 15:00
As others have said, he is surely better from a deeper position and facing forward with the ball. Like a lot of the more experienced england players, he looks like he's lost the desire for it to be honest. I guess that comes with all the years of frustrating failure and media baiting. To be a captain of any team you need some sort of leadership qualities surely, has he ever show them ? Nah.
Comment number 136. Posted by Linenseon 12 Oct 2012 14:32
Lets hope he gets a chance to perform for England if they let him play a way more akin to his club style, he is one of the best strikers in the world when fit and up for it. Andy Carroll should get a chance to play up in front of him.
Comment number 135. Posted by mr jingleson 12 Oct 2012 14:08
Uncouth, foul-mouthed, arrogant, lazy, bad-tempered, scruffy, mono-syballic, ignorant and as a footballer vastly over-rated by the media and public. He has only performed once to any reasonable standard in a tournament and that was back in 2004.
Even now he has had to be forced virtually kicking and screaming by Hodgson into a pathetic, mumbling attempt at the National Anthem.
Comment number 134. Posted by Kean Outon 12 Oct 2012 14:07
Strangely enough, I would have more respect for him if he said, "It's part of my game, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat" rather than the media darling tripe he's trotting out now.
Comment number 133. Posted by Not you but meon 12 Oct 2012 13:52
1 goal during Euro 2012 (a goal that anyone could've scored) and he's regarded as underrated by the English media. Truth is, he's overrated.
Would be nice if England trusted these matches to uncapped or irregular players with a point to prove.

Football: Manchester United thwarted by last-gasp Bent goal for Fulham
Published on Feb 10, 2014 6:07 AM
LONDON (REUTERS) - An injury-time goal from Fulham's Darren Bent inflicted more pain on champions Manchester United as the bottom club rescued a 2-2 Premier League draw on Sunday, adding fuel to the fire for manager David Moyes's critics.
It was a further blow to United's hopes of securing Champions League football next season and left them nine points behind Liverpool in fourth spot and six adrift of Tottenham Hotspur who beat Everton 1-0 with a goal from Emmanuel Adebayor.
Late strikes from Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick helped United cancel out Steve Sidwell's opener and evoked some of the never-say-die attitude that characterised former manager Alex Ferguson's long spell at the club.
However, the uncertainty that has plagued the new regime came back to bite them as Fulham substitute Bent headed in at the far post to nick a point in the 94th minute.

Amy Hardie and The Edge of Dreaming
Amy Hardie is a Scottish scientist and filmmaker. Her deeply personal first documentary, The Edge of Dreaming, has been selected as one of the Best of the Fest.
Amy does not usually remember her dreams, but after a vivid dream that her horse was dying, she woke up to find him dead. "Then I had another dream that I was going to die that year. Then I got very ill," says Amy. "From the screenings I've done in other countries before premiering here – I think that many people have dreams that predict the future and that come true."
Though she usually makes science films, The Edge of Dreaming is a deeply personal documentary. "I think the reason that people are drawn to the film is for the story. Even though it's a documentary, the story is compelling."
After dreaming that she would die within the year, Amy immediately began to film. "I made the film to allow audiences to go with me on that year, and I wanted to be very accurate about what I had gone through. I tried to document everything as precisely as possible so that when things happened, even if I didn't understand them, other people can interpret them in their own way."
Having sold out its initial screenings, the film will screen again on Sunday 27 June to round off the Festival.

PHT Morning Skate: Toronto coaching upheaval aftermath edition
Mar 3, 2012, 9:17 AM EDT
PHT's Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what's happening and what we'll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.
Bruce Arthur of The National Post says it was eventuality that caught up to Leafs GM Brian Burke in having to fire his friend. (National Post)
Michael Grange of Sportsnet says that Burke making this move puts a crack in his image as the man who will save Toronto. (Sportsnet)
Steve Simmons talks about how if the fans and media thought Ron Wilson was tough to handle, they're going to find Randy Carlyle's gruff demeanor to be a real treat. (QMI)
Joffrey Lupul and Randy Carlyle didn't exactly see eye-to-eye in Anaheim together. Can they make it work now? (Toronto Sun)
Leafs players should be looking in the mirror after Wilson's dismissal. (TSN)
Paul Zeisberger says that Wilson's ultimate failing in Toronto is that he flat out just didn't win enough. (Sun Media)
In non-Leafs news, Joel Quenneville called Chicago's win last night their "biggest win." (CSNChicago.com)

Meanwhile, Dainius Zubrus feels bad about the somersault he did after scoring. It's OK man, it was cool. (The Star-Ledger)
Dale Hunter was calm after seeing his team thrashed 5-0. A little too calm… (CSNWashington.com)
Patrick Kane is loving playing center again for the Blackhawks. (CSNChicago.com)
The Sharks are mentally checking out at times during games. That's… Not good. (CSNBayArea.com)
Finally, check out Jarome Iginla and Francois Beauchemin dropping the gloves in what turned out to be a thundering fight. (HockeyFights)

The 13th-century mystic Meister Eckhart was the most brilliant Christian scholar of his day, but he was also legendary for the way that he opened listeners to the direct experience of God during his public talks. Today, his written wisdom remains alive as ever, ready to illuminate us.
With Meister Eckhart's Living Wisdom, James Finley, one of today's best-known teachers of the Christian contemplative tradition, invites us into Eckhart's insights in the same way that this luminary teacher delighted in sharing them - through the spoken word. "The eye with which I see God is the eye with which God sees me." If the Divine dwells in all things, including ourselves, then why do we experience His presence only in fleeting moments, if at all? How do we let go of the illusions that imprison us to discover direct and felt liberation - not conceptually or in the afterlife - but right here and now? These were the questions that compelled Meister Eckhart to reflection, spiritual practice, and discovery. In this in-depth learning program, James Finley guides us through teachings and meditations for bringing Meister Eckhart's wisdom into our daily lives to find for ourselves "the indestructible joy that that transcends even death," and to experience God not as a separate being, but as the loving eternal center that sustains and embraces each of us and all of creation.
©2014 James Finley (P)2014 James Finley
"Great, but dry!"
Deep, Insightful, Boring
I love the way the author brings out the teachings of Eckhart!
The content is amazing, but because is so dry in presentation, it sometimes it's hard to stay engaged
I enjoy audio books and blogging.
"Flows beautifully."
James Finleys' reflections.
Practical Mysticism. Both of these books address the practical dimension of spirituality.
Studying and understanding "detachment"
James Finley's reading conveys a deep understanding and interest in the subject matter. I appreciate the references to related books and authors such as Schurmann, Walsh, Woods, Davies, McGinn, Forman, and Smith
"one hitter quitters"
it makes my mind remember what hes talking about during the day in moments of life that shine out for no reason. also made me change from let go to let flow
This product was way too overpriced. Much of the content here is not special and you can get it from other products that are way cheaper. I purposely gave it one star rating to keep people from making the same mistake I made which was buying this overpriced woo woo crap.
No, unless I got his products for free.
This product should be at 10 bucks or less. Not worth your money.

Natural Resources Developer AmerAlia, Inc. Announces Acquisition
RIFLE, Colo., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — AmerAlia, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AALA), a developer of natural resources, has announced that on June 30, 2010, it acquired all the outstanding stock in Natural Soda Holdings, Inc. ("NSHI") to secure 100% ownership.
AmerAlia has issued 286,119,886 shares of its common stock in exchange for 82% of the outstanding NSHI stock it did not already own. NSHI wholly owns Natural Soda Inc ("NSI").
The acquisition was from The Sentient Group, a private equity investor in natural resources throughout the world. It manages in excess of $1.3 billion and is AmerAlia's largest shareholder.
AmerAlia's Chairman, Bill Gunn, said, "The acquisition is a milestone for the company. It fulfills our longstanding ambition to own, largely debt free, all of the water assets and the profitable sodium bicarbonate operations located in the Piceance Creek Basin in North West Colorado, held by NSHI and NSI."
"Our water rights are estimated at a maximum entitlement of 108,812 acre feet (over 35 billion gallons) of water annually under certain conditions, for agricultural, industrial and municipal purposes," he said.
The acquisition positions AmerAlia, Inc. with strong revenue opportunities for the new financial year.
"We are considering several possible uses for our extensive water rights in addition to further developing our profitable and growing sodium bicarbonate business," Mr Gunn said.
NSI's sodium bicarbonate operations are also located in Colorado where the company owns 9,543 acres of Federal Government, Department of the Interior, sodium leases.
NSI produces and sells more than 100,000 tons of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) each year, making AmerAlia one of the larger producers of sodium bicarbonate in North America.
The sodium bicarbonate has many uses in various industries including food, pharmaceutical, industrial and animal nutrition.
"We have also identified large deposits of oil shale contained within the sodium leases, and we are now investigating certain proprietary technologies to recover oil from the shale," Mr. Gunn said.
"Whilst we currently do not have title to any oil shale contained within our sodium leases, we have applied for a research development and demonstration lease covering these oil shale deposits.
"We are most grateful to The Sentient Group and all our shareholders for their patience and continued support of AmerAlia from its inception to this satisfactory position today," he said.
Mr. Gunn advised that interested shareholders should review the Form 8K recently filed with the SEC for more information about the transaction.
Forward Looking Statements
AmerAlia's future conduct depends on a number of factors beyond our control, so we cannot assure you we will be able to conduct AmerAlia's operations as we contemplate in this report. This report contains various statements using the terms "may," "expect to," and other terms denoting future possibilities. They are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of these statements as they are subject to a variety of risks beyond our ability to predict or control. These risks may cause actual results to differ materially from the projections or estimates contained in this report. These risks are discussed in our annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for reply. Having owned a 416 since 89 you must be very happy with her?
I would appreciate your feedback on the following if that is possible.
I like the pilothouse look but am not sure if the windows are to big. As I will be doing a lot of bluewater sailing in the south pacific & southern areas of Australia I will encounter big seas. Do you think the windows are up to it?
Where do you keep your propane tanks?
I was under the impression that Cooper sold the molds to Bayliner in 81 after a fire at the factory & from that date the Cooper 416 was made with the name US42. Is this correct or is yours a genuine Cooper 416 which goes against the reviews I have read?
Yes, some have single & others twin spreaders. Which is the same with the bbackstay. Does your 416 have a single or twin backstay?
Others have said that the tanks can split & then big problems to fix them. Have you encountered this problem & if so what was your problem & how did you fix it?
As I will be doing extended cruising, do you think your water & fuel tankage is surficient? I am thinking that more water would be good. I noticed uyou have extra water in the v-berth. Is there other areas where another water tank could be placed?
The other choice is to install a water maker. Is there room for this to be done?
The photos of your 416 show her a a very lovely yacht, congrats. I do not see any solar panels or wind genny. What & how many batteries do you have & what do you use for charging them up?
You mentioned growth on the hull. Is this due to the beam?
I am 6' 3'' tallso am wondering what sort of headroom do you have in the fwd cabin, head, saloon, galley area & the aft cabin?
Is the chain locker very big? How much chain/warp do you carry there?
Sure to have other questions but wont bother you with them all at once.
Look forward to your reply.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Having followed up his giddy 2004 martial arts comedy Kung Fu Hustle with 2008's risible E.T.–inspired dud CJ7, director Stephen Chow returns to more familiar terrain with Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, a Buddhist fantasy adventure that unevenly hybridizes hectic combat, sappy romance, and slapstick humor.
In an ancient China of magic and monsters, Xuan Zhang (Wen Zhang) fights giant animalistic demons by bringing out their goodness via songs from a book of 300 nursery rhymes. This makes him a laughingstock among his peers save for Duan (Shu Qi), a badass beauty who immediately falls for Xuan Zhang because of his inherent goodness.
Their dull battles against fish, pig, and monkey beasts are staged by Chow with a self-aware, Mel Brooks–meets–Looney Tunes jokiness, and marked by CGI that's somewhere between matte-painting beautiful and velvet-poster chintzy.
22 E. 12th St.
New York, NY 10003
Category: Movie Theaters
Region: East Village
With a frizzy mop of hair and cartoonish naïveté plastered across his face, Xuan Zhang awkwardly pratfalls through his adventure while championing Buddha's Greater Love over Duan's Lesser Love, but such wannabe-profound philosophical rambling is dashed against the mood of childish frivolity.
The camera swoops and whooshes about but never generates any compelling energy — Chow's film proves endlessly manic but devoid of much mirth.
