What is Cinco de Mayo?
Note: I love Cinco de Mayo so much that I devoted a whole section to it in my holiday cookbook! Here is the intro explaining what Cinco de Mayo is all about. Please feel free to chime in and add more info!
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that's celebrated on—wait for it—the fifth of May! Aren't you glad I'm around so I can explain these things to you?
Okay, so you probably knew that Cinco de Mayo was on May 5. But what you might not know is that Cinco de Mayo—in all its celebratory Mexican glory—is largely celebrated not in Mexico itself, but en los Estados Unidos! And here's why.
In 1862, the Mexican army defeated French forces (whose numbers were double that of the Mexican troops) in a huge battle in a town called Puebla. It was an unexpected victory and became the source of much excitement and pride, not just in Mexico, but also in many Mexican communities in the American West. When word of the May 5 victory reached mining communities in California, Mexican workers reportedly celebrated by firing rifles into the air and singing patriotic songs. That is said to be the very first Cinco de Mayo celebration…and they've increased in popularity ever since. (Note: I have a whole section of Cinco de Mayo-friendly recipes in case you'd like to have a celebration of your own!)
Note: Cinco de Mayo is not to be confused with Mexico's official Independence Day, which is celebrated across Mexico on September 16. But here in America, May 5 has become a day to embrace Mexican heritage and pride, whether you have Mexican ancestry or not.
Would love to hear more information about Cinco de Mayo if you have some!

I love Mexican Foods and cnt wait to try some of the recipes you posted! Looks amazing!! I have several students that are Mexican, Im gonna get their feedback on what they think!!!
Tanya H On Monday, May 5 at 8:50 am
THANK YOU THANK YOU!! for clarifying this issue for everyone. As a part Mexican-American, it's frustrating when many of my friends think this is Mexico's Independence Day. It's helpful for people to know what they're celebrating—although when all is said and done, I don't think people really need a reason to enjoy friends and food.
~Bea~ On Monday, May 5 at 11:53 pm
I worked with a Mexican American girl who thought it was and I had to tell her that it is Sept 15th or 16th, can't remember now but I think it is the 15th. Many people thought that exact thing, but there is so much more to Cinco de Mayo.
Olivia On Monday, May 5 at 9:12 am
Loved your explanation. I grew up in Texas and this holiday certainly is a celebration of Mexican heritage which, by the way, has enhanced all our lives in so many ways.
Deb R On Monday, May 5 at 9:25 am
Thanks for setting the record straight!! There are quite a few people that don't know the true meaning of Cinco de Mayo, so thanks for taking the time to "homeschool" a part of the population that will now pass on the info learned here!
Loraine CD On Monday, May 5 at 9:54 am
I celebrate Cinco de Mayo every year…it's my birthday. I like Mexican food, but today I'm having a crawfish boil to celebrate.
Sara On Monday, May 5 at 10:44 am
Happy Birthday!
Loraine CD On Monday, May 5 at 12:33 pm
Thanks, Sara.
barb On Monday, May 5 at 10:22 am
As a Californian most of us know the origin of Cinco de Mayo. However I'm not sure most of the media knows the origin. Ree it was good of you to clear this up for the masses of readers.
BTW started off the morning with a super, duper breakfast burrito and will end it with a scrumptious enchiladas.
Gretchen On Monday, May 5 at 11:51 am
I have to disagree, Barb. I did NOT know the origin at all of Cinco de Mayo and most of the individuals I know also, had NO CLUE. (Born and raised in Cali for over 20 years.) It was just an "excuse" to party. A friend of mine, from Mexico, asked if I knew WHY the US celebrated, so I educated myself. And surprisingly, most people I ask (mind you we've traveled across the US now so we aren't just in Cali now) have no clue to the origins of Cinco de Mayo. I think the only bit that wasn't included in Ree's description is the fact the US helped Puebla with arms, which is why they had the victory despite being outnumbered. I'm curious as to how many of the Mexican students who turned the flag upside down on Cinco de Mayo know the reason behind the day, let alone that the US was part of that victory.
Lyn On Monday, May 5 at 8:01 pm
Thank you Gretchen for the added info…
Josie S On Monday, May 5 at 10:27 am
Yes, muchas gracias! I think the reason behind the holiday does get confused with Mexican Independence Day. I'm also Hispanic and I love that we can celebrate many different holidays.
Ellbeedee On Monday, May 5 at 10:32 am
I'm so glad to know the story. I've always celebrated it since it's also by birthday! And I won't tell you how young I am but this year my age also has 2 fives. So now, cinco, cinco, cinco cinco. Whew!
Sara On Monday, May 5 at 10:43 am
Happy Birthday!
Loraine CD On Monday, May 5 at 12:36 pm
Happy birthday, Ellbeedee. We are birthday sisters, but my cinco-cinco birthday was last year. Have a great day!
Sherian in SW OK On Monday, May 5 at 1:10 pm
Happy Birthday Ellbeedee and Loraine! Today is also my oldest son's birthday. One cinco plus 0 for him.( my husband's Mexican, but I still don't know word for zero) All kinds of sweet memories today for me.
CLW On Monday, May 5 at 11:08 am
A very good reason to eat some terrific Mexican fare!!! Yes, I knew the history, glad you
took the time to explain to others. CLW
Aracele C On Monday, May 5 at 11:25 am
Thanks for sharing this info Ree I'm mexican and love that you know about Mexico story:)
Mary On Monday, May 5 at 11:38 am
Short sweet and tons of information! Love your posts and this one was especially informative. I've always wondered exactly what Cinco de Mayo was celebrating. Thanks for clarifying.
Cheryl S On Monday, May 5 at 12:33 pm
It is heavily celebrating in our neck of the woods. A lot of people think it is Mexican Independence Day, but it's not. Plus, since the victory of the Battle of Puebla, no country in the Americas has subsequently been invaded by any other military force.
tonyaowensharris On Monday, May 5 at 12:34 pm
I have tried your ham glaze taesed good on my ham
sabina On Monday, May 5 at 12:41 pm
This day was quite an important one prekids (as in day to indulge in many cocktails!) But with 2 toddlers this day is all about the great food! Enchiladas and guacamole anyone? Ree's blackberry margaritas are making me consider a cocktail later!
Tracy On Monday, May 5 at 12:41 pm
As a Canadian, I had no idea the origin of Cinco de Mayo. We're celebrating with yummy fajitas tonight! Any excuse to eat Mexican food as we watch the snow slooooooowly melt is great with me!
Anita Fraga On Monday, May 5 at 12:43 pm
Thank you Ree! You are an amazing woman, to know so much about lots of different cultures and just things in general! For so many years I thought of Cinco de Mayo as Mexico's Independence day, until a friend (from Mexico) cleared things up for me!
Now I know and simply enjoy all the festivities surrounding this celebration! Thanks for the delicious recipes! I'm sure I will be making quite a few of them!
Cindy Gillis On Monday, May 5 at 12:46 pm
I never really knew the history of it. I'll have a margarita today to celebrate! Hahahahaha
Gabriela On Monday, May 5 at 12:48 pm
As a mexican I can say that we do not celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico at all! LOL, it is not even an official Holiday. It is true that we honor the victory over French army in the city of Puebla, but nothing more than that. Not more tequila, more margaritas or more guacamole than usual. We, mexicans, celebrate our Independence on September 16th. We have the big party on that day…fireworks, tamales, pozole, lots of tequila and mariachi.
Anyway, I appreciate that americans celebrate Mexico on this day!
Alejandra On Monday, May 5 at 10:38 pm
Gabriela , I was about to mention exactly the same thing, that we mexicans do not celebrate the same way in US, is more about honoring the victory over The French invation, but not much of a party, I do like the fiesta and the food and the way people look forward to dress up in all this cinco de mayo customs and I do appreciate very much the celebration!
ROBIN LUNDEEN On Monday, May 5 at 1:11 pm
Today is my birthday, I'm impressed that so many people are celebrating it!!
Aileen On Wednesday, May 7 at 2:26 pm
hahahaha!!! This just cracked me up.
Mirtha On Monday, May 5 at 1:12 pm
as Gabriela stated, we do not celebrate this day in Mexico. My first year in the U.S., I couldn't understand what was going on at school, with a lunch time folklorico show and kids dressed in ranchero outfits.
Also, I have never turned any flag upside down, on purpose. I am proud of being a naturalized American Citizen, still proud of my Mexican birth certificate (and the yuminess of my Korean heritage via my mother… long story.) and I embrace all cultures and their cuisine.
Thank you for explaining it Ree.
Charla On Monday, May 5 at 1:14 pm
Celebrating here too. Fajitas on the menu along with a Tres Leches Cake from your recipe file. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/09/tres-leches-cake/ Have not tried it before but it smells heavenly!! Thanks Ree for the additional recipes.
Anna M. S. On Monday, May 5 at 1:14 pm
I agree with all the Mexican-American folks that posted before me…MUCHAS GRACIAS REE for clearing up "Cinco de May" a celebration in the city of Puebla! "El GRITO" is the official Mexican Independence day on September 16th when the real celebration is in Mexico. Regardless…it's a wonderful excuse to get together and eat, drink and be merry about Mexico! Now get ready for Dia de las Madres on May 10th…it's always on May 10th in Mexico.
Jessica Cornell On Monday, May 5 at 1:17 pm
Hello, I am a Mexican and a fan of yours:) My husband and I are missionaries in a small village in Old Mexico. My husband was raised in the southern states, so your cookbooks are an asset to my kitchen! This is The first time I find the correct information concerning 5 de Mayo in a Northamerican publication! Very accurate:) it's a holiday in Mexico but we don't celebrate it like we do our Independence on September 16 like you said:) thank you for posting!
Jessica Cornell On Monday, May 5 at 1:20 pm
By the way, I'm using some of your 5 de Mayo recipes anyway because they sounded great!
Steve On Monday, May 5 at 1:39 pm
Thanks, Ree. I did not know about the victory at Puebla and had confused the 5th of May with Mexican Independence Day. I stand corrected!
To celebrate, we here in rural Kentucky are having some family over to enjoy some Margaritas, Chicken Fajitas, Corn on the Grill, 7-Layer Dip & Tortilla Chips, and Roasted Banana Paletas!
Jim C On Monday, May 5 at 1:40 pm
It sounds a lot like what I have heard about St. Patrick's Day and Ireland. We do a lot more celebrating here in the States than they do there. I've never been there (hope to someday…) but I've heard that it's usually too cold to do anything there, so they stay home and watch the American parades on television.
I guess we're looking for our unique flavors to bring to the American melting pot.
Rhonda Reichman On Monday, May 5 at 1:57 pm
Kinda knew the history, but not the details. But we will have a blender full of margaritas with our Mexican good tonight. Love an excuse to have both!
TRose On Monday, May 5 at 2:19 pm
I once went out to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with my family. I wished the wait staff (whose English was limited) a "Happy Cinco de Mayo!!" and they all laughed at me like I was an idiot. Was that the wrong thing to say? I am still confused about that. In the meantime, all I can do is chalk it up to the language barrier and move on.
transplantedtexan On Monday, May 5 at 3:51 pm
I realize this is going to be a strange concept, given what's going on in schools these days, but I was born and raised in South Texas and actually learned the meaning of Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day in the classroom. Of course, this was back in the days when they actually taught geography and history.
Uli On Monday, May 5 at 4:25 pm
Yes you got it right. However when I was in Puebla on the 5th of May there was a celebration and I was told by my host the it is only celebrated in Mexico in Puebla and is celebrated in the US so Corona can sell beer.m. It your fe night for us, thank you!
Norma Pechir-Holland On Monday, May 5 at 4:43 pm
Thank you for this post, I'm Mexican and I really don't like when people try to convince me that 5 de Mayo is our Independence.
Just two little things, Puebla is not a town is a city and the proud of the Mexican is because the French army was one of the most important and powerful at that time and the men who were in the battle didn't have weapons.
In Puebla is in the only part in Mexico that they celebrate it with a parade, in the rest of the country, we just learn it in the history class.
dana On Monday, May 5 at 4:50 pm
Puebla is actually a state in Mexico. I grew up in another part of Mexico and never once celebrated Cinco de Mayo until I moved to the states!
bill straen On Monday, May 5 at 4:54 pm
Cinco de Mayo has no real meaning in Mexico. Its popularity in the US started when Budweiser was looking for a reason to sell more beer in the LA area in the 70s. Found a fake holiday and it grew from there.
Darla On Monday, May 5 at 6:07 pm
I love Texmex and Southwest foods, and am always looking for simple, nutritious, and hopefully not too fattening takes on both cuisines. Today I tried a new spin on cooking dry pinto beans and a brisket together, seasoned with a couple of cans of Rotel tomatoes. This time I used dry pinto beans and a beef roast together, because that's what I had. I soaked 4 cups of beans overnight, drained them, covered them with water and seasoned with salt and pepper. Then I put the roast on top, covered it, and cooked slowly on the stovetop for several hours. When the beans and roast were tender, I added threes small cans of chopped green chiles and two cans of Rotel tomatoes. I uncovered the pot and let the liquid cook off slowly. Although the roast fell apart I removed the chunks and shredded them with two forks. It's really good on flour tortillas with a dab of sour cream and pico de gallo. Yummy and so easy.
My brother and sister-in-law came up with the Rotel, beans, and brisket idea, and prepare it often to feed large groups. We've had great success cooking this overnight in the oven, on the stove top, and in the slow cooker. Next time i intend to use some type of rub on the roast as it cooks from the beginning. I also want to try a pork loin or a pork roast cooked with the beans and add several cans of green chiles. Then serve it on tortillas with Hatch green chile enchilada sauce.
I have all your cookbooks and love your show. My husband records it so we can always watch it together. Happy cooking. You inspire me.
Kristen On Monday, May 5 at 6:26 pm
History.com has more details: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/cinco-de-mayo. And it was a Texas-born general that helped recapture the city from the French. Another reason Texas is great! I'm not biased, just proud. Thanks for the margarita recipe! Cheers!
Rachel On Monday, May 5 at 8:49 pm
Could anyone clarify why the French forced were there in the first place? Thanks!
Yolanda Magana On Monday, May 5 at 9:02 pm
Great explanation but then Ter, you have the gift of writing. It was perfect and had your usual touch Of humor. Thanks for the tribute to the Latin's.
Lisa On Monday, May 5 at 9:14 pm
We are a multiracial (Mexican-American & African-American) military family who lives far from home & family. As a Mexican American Mom, I love my heritage and try to instill that same love in my children. One of the best ways I communicate that is through food (a major part of our heritage.) BTW, my kids friends think it's strange that they DON'T like Taco Bell…lol! Anyway, with all the wonderful authentic dishes my Mom makes, I wish I grew up with this recipe too. I found it a few years ago & absolutely love it!
Lisa On Monday, May 5 at 9:27 pm

Laura On Tuesday, May 6 at 7:59 am
I'm kind of a nostalgic and may be looking for a reason to party as the weather finally gets warmer, but I love cinco de mayo. It's the battle that turned the tide in a war that I think should have significance to everyone in north, central and south america as the last time a foreign army battled on American soil. When the French were driven out at the end of that war, I think that was it. We've been involved in wars since then overseas, and have had civil wars that were devastating, and even attacked each other, true, but never since then has a foreign army crossed the ocean to attack. I think that's worth a taco in celebration.
Mario Valencia On Tuesday, May 6 at 11:20 am
My family, and I celebrated Cinco de Mayo by making your fajita recipe. Man, I haven't eaten that good in a long time…thanks again for sharing!
Rebecca On Tuesday, May 6 at 1:13 pm
As a little girl in grade school, my teachers always requested my mom's enchiladas for the Cinco De Mayo parties. When in first grade, she showed up with a tray of enchiladas for a Christmas party (back when we had Christmas parties and not Holiday parties). So for Cinco De Mayo, my teacher sent a note home with me with her request. My mom asked what was special about May 5th. I told her the teacher kept saying it was like our July 4th Independence Day. My mom laughed and made the enchiladas but made sure the teacher understood, as one from Mexico, she never celebrated anything on May 5th. Mexican Ind. Day was on September 16. So every year through 6th grade, she showed up with trays of enchiladas, one for my class and another for my younger sisters.
Me On Tuesday, May 6 at 3:08 pm
Lets be serious. Just like St. Patrick's Day, it is just another excuse for Americans to eat too much and more importantly, get drunk. Kind of sad.
Mary Beth Wilkinson On Tuesday, May 6 at 8:06 pm
My hubby and I had quesadilla's with your citrus marinated chicken, black beans Mexican cheese and all kinds of veggies, so yummy!

the site of the battle….and now Puebla is a prosperous city in Mexico with one of the best medical schools in North America.
Anthony On Monday, May 12 at 4:06 pm
How cool that you touched on this! I am full Mexican born in Puebla, not Puebl-oh haha. And its nice for someone to talk about it! The fact that the Mexican army was able to defeat the very well prepared and formidable French professional military. Sure it was one battle and Mexico ended up losing the war but it was a great triumph to what was sure to be a sweep.

Mother's Table, Father's Chair
Cultural Narratives of Basque American Women
Despite long residence in the United States, especially the West, Basque Americans are probably one of the least known of the nation's ethnic groups. Moreover, though a significant number of ethnographic and other works on Basques have been published, very few of them to any great extent discuss Basque American women or their cultural roles. The common image of Basque Americans is of male sheepherders. Many Basques did pursue that occupation when they first arrived in America, but the men were not the only immigrants. Sheepherders and others found ethnic communion and support in Basque boarding houses and hotels, usually run by women. Those who stayed in this country often brought over their families or married women from the old country who then migrated. Many women migrated on their own. As new generations of native Basque Americans were born, women often became the principal carriers and preservers of cultural tradition as well as primary agents of Americanization, as they sought and encouraged their children to seek the educational and material benefits of the United States.
Jacqueline Thursby interviewed Basque American women across the West, observed and participated in cultural activities and events, and did supplementary research in the Basque region of Spain and France to prepare this first overview of the culture of Basque American women. Supplementing the narratives of her informants with her own commentary and interpretations, she clarifies the role of women in the evolution of Basques into Basque Americans.

Beshear says Medicaid will expand
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky's Medicaid program will expand to cover hundreds of thousands of additional people, Gov. Steve Beshear said Thursday.
The program already provides medical coverage to some 800,000 low-income residents. The Affordable Care Act allows states to expand coverage to some 308,000 additional Kentuckians with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or nearly $15,860 for individuals.
"I have repeatedly said that I believe it is in the best interest of the Commonwealth and its citizens to provide better access to health care for our people" Beshear said. "My only concern was the cost. We have now done the exhaustive research and our conclusion matched what most others states have found: by expanding Medicaid, Kentucky will come out ahead in terms of both health outcomes and finances. In fact, if we don't expand Medicaid, we will lose money."
The expected move drew praise and criticism even before Beshear made the announcement during an afternoon news conference.
"Despite decades of hard work, too many Kentuckians are one illness or one accident away from financial ruin because they lack access to affordable, adequate health care coverage," said Cathy Allgood Murphy, a lobbyist for AARP Kentucky. "By accepting federal funds for health care expansion, Kentucky can make a real difference in the lives of thousands of people."
Tea party activist David Adams predicted the move will result in additional government waste.
"Medicaid provides little more than large opportunities in health care fraud and inefficiency for politicians who can't do math," Adams said in a statement.
Nationally, about 15 million people — mostly adults with no children living at home — could eventually be covered if all states expand. But the Supreme Court last year gave states the right to reject the expansion without jeopardizing the rest of their federal Medicaid funds.
Expanded Medicaid will be available starting Jan. 1, and uninsured people can start signing up this fall. So far, 21 states plus Washington, D.C., have accepted the expansion, while 14 states have turned it down. Another 15 states are still weighing options.
Nearly all the states refusing are led by Republicans. Several of the states accepting have Republican governors, but most are led by Democrats. Washington will pick up the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years, and 90 percent over the longer haul. It's estimated that less than $100 billion in state spending could trigger nearly $1 trillion in federal dollars over a decade.

Here's a recent photo of Chris Smith of Kris Kross during a radio interview at V103 sometime last year. I stated in my last post on Kriss Kross that he is focusing on neo-soul..my bad! Actually his music is a fusion of Hip Hop and Hip Rock. Chris made a song called "Lady" to "honor women legends and to raise the level of respect for women in Hip-Hop and Rap music." (listen above)
" I make positive music because it expresses messages I hope will resonate with my own generation and future generations."
I feel that… For the record, I'm now working on finding the members of Another Bad Creation… ya know…

Interpreting Breast Biopsies »
"The result of a breast biopsy often determines the course of treatment and helps to predict a woman's risk of a future breast cancer diagnosis. Criteria for making diagnoses have been established, but it's been unclear how consistently patholo"...
Mechanism of Action
ABRAXANE is a microtubule inhibitor that promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilizes microtubules by preventing depolymerization. This stability results in the inhibition of the normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule network that is essential for vital interphase and mitotic cellular functions. Paclitaxel induces abnormal arrays or "bundles" of microtubules throughout the cell cycle and multiple asters of microtubules during mitosis.
The pharmacokinetics of total paclitaxel following 30 and 180-minute infusions of ABRAXANE at dose levels of 80 to 375 mg/m² were determined in clinical studies. Dose levels of mg/m² refer to mg of paclitaxel in ABRAXANE. Following intravenous administration of ABRAXANE, paclitaxel plasma concentrations declined in a biphasic manner, the initial rapid decline representing distribution to the peripheral compartment and the slower second phase representing drug elimination. The terminal half-life was approximately 27 hours.
The drug exposure (AUCs) was dose proportional over 80 to 375 mg/m² and the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel were independent of the duration of ABRAXANE administration. At the dose of 260 mg/m² for metastatic breast cancer, the mean maximum concentration of paclitaxel, which occurred at the end of the infusion, was 18,741 ng/mL. The mean total clearance was 15 L/hr/m² . The mean volume of distribution was 632 L/m² indicating extensive extravascular distribution and/or tissue binding of paclitaxel.
The pharmacokinetic data of 260 mg/m² ABRAXANE administered over a 30-minute infusion was compared to the pharmacokinetics of 175 mg/m² paclitaxel injection over a 3-hour infusion. The clearance was larger (43%) and the volume of distribution was also higher (53%) for ABRAXANE than for paclitaxel injection. Differences in the maximum concentration (Cmax) and dose-corrected Cmax reflected differences in total dose and rate of infusion. There were no differences in terminal half-lives.
In vitro studies of binding to human serum proteins, using paclitaxel concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 50 μg/mL, indicated that between 89% to 98% of drug is bound; the presence of cimetidine, ranitidine, dexamethasone, or diphenhydramine did not affect protein binding of paclitaxel.
In vitro studies with human liver microsomes and tissue slices showed that paclitaxel was metabolized primarily to 6αhydroxypaclitaxel by CYP2C8; and to two minor metabolites, 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel and 6α, 3'-p-dihydroxypaclitaxel, by CYP3A4. In vitro, the metabolism of paclitaxel to 6α-hydroxypaclitaxel was inhibited by a number of agents (ketoconazole, verapamil, diazepam, quinidine, dexamethasone, cyclosporin, teniposide, etoposide, and vincristine), but the concentrations used exceeded those found in vivo following normal therapeutic doses. Testosterone, 17α-ethinyl estradiol, retinoic acid, and quercetin, a specific inhibitor of CYP2C8, also inhibited the formation of 6α-hydroxypaclitaxel in vitro. The pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel may also be altered in vivo as a result of interactions with compounds that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of CYP2C8 and/or CYP3A4 [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
After a 30-minute infusion of 260 mg/m² doses of ABRAXANE, the mean values for cumulative urinary recovery of unchanged drug (4%) indicated extensive non-renal clearance. Less than 1% of the total administered dose was excreted in urine as the metabolites 6α-hydroxypaclitaxel and 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel.
Fecal excretion was approximately 20% of the total dose administered.
Effect of Hepatic Impairment
The pharmacokinetic profile of ABRAXANE administered as a 30-minute infusion was evaluated in 15 out of 30 solid tumor patients with mild to severe hepatic impairment defined by serum bilirubin levels and AST levels. Patients with AST > 10 x ULN or bilirubin > 5 x ULN were not enrolled. ABRAXANE doses were assigned based on the degree of hepatic impairment as described:
- Mild (bilirubin > ULN to ≤ 1.25 x ULN and AST > ULN and < 10 x ULN): 260 mg/m²
- Moderate (bilirubin 1.26 to 2 x ULN and AST > ULN and < 10 x ULN): 200 mg/m²
- Severe (bilirubin 2.01 to 5 x ULN and AST > ULN and < 10 x ULN): 130 mg/m²
The 260 mg/m² dose for mild hepatic impairment and the 200 mg/m² dose for moderate hepatic impairment resulted in paclitaxel exposures within the range seen in patients with normal hepatic function (mean AUC0-∞ = 14,789 ± 6,703 hr*ng/mL). The 130 mg/m² dose in patients with severe hepatic impairment resulted in lower paclitaxel exposures than those seen in normal subjects. In addition, patients with severe hepatic impairment had higher mean cycle 1 absolute neutrophil count (ANC) nadir values than those with mild and moderate hepatic impairment. Table 11 summarizes the AUC values observed in the study. The 200 mg/m² dose has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, but it is predicted to adjust the paclitaxel AUC to the range observed in patients with normal hepatic function. There are no data for patients with AST > 10 x ULN or bilirubin > 5 x ULN [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and Use in Specific Populations].

Effect of Renal Impairment
The effect of renal impairment on the disposition of ABRAXANE has not been studied [see Use in Specific Populations].
Pharmacokinetic Interactions between and ABRAXANE and Carboplatin
Administration of carboplatin immediately after the completion of the ABRAXANE infusion to patients with NSCLC did not cause clinically meaningful changes in paclitaxel exposure. The observed mean AUCinf of free carboplatin was approximately 23% higher than the targeted value (6 min*mg/mL), but its mean half-life and clearance were consistent with those reported in the absence of paclitaxel.
Pharmacokinetic Interactions between and ABRAXANE and Gemcitabine
Pharmacokinetic interactions between ABRAXANE and gemcitabine have not been studied in humans.
Clinical Studies
Metastatic Breast Cancer
Data from 106 patients accrued in two single arm open label studies and from 460 patients enrolled in a randomized comparative study were available to support the use of ABRAXANE in metastatic breast cancer.
Single Arm Open Label Studies
In one study, ABRAXANE was administered as a 30-minute infusion at a dose of 175 mg/m² to 43 patients with metastatic breast cancer. The second trial utilized a dose of 300 mg/m² as a 30-minute infusion in 63 patients with metastatic breast cancer. Cycles were administered at 3-week intervals. Objective responses were observed in both studies.
Randomized Comparative Study
This multicenter trial was conducted in 460 patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients were randomized to receive ABRAXANE at a dose of 260 mg/m² given as a 30-minute infusion, or paclitaxel injection at 175 mg/m² given as a 3-hour infusion. Sixty-four percent of patients had impaired performance status (ECOG 1 or 2) at study entry; 79% had visceral metastases; and 76% had > 3 sites of metastases. Fourteen percent of the patients had not received prior chemotherapy; 27% had received chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting, 40% in the metastatic setting and 19% in both metastatic and adjuvant settings. Fifty-nine percent received study drug as second or greater than second-line therapy. Seventy-seven percent of the patients had been previously exposed to anthracyclines.
In this trial, patients in the ABRAXANE treatment arm had a statistically significantly higher reconciled target lesion response rate (the trial primary endpoint) of 21.5% (95% CI: 16.2% to 26.7%), compared to 11.1% (95% CI: 6.9% to 15.1%) for patients in the paclitaxel injection treatment arm. See Table 12. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between the two study arms.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
A multicenter, randomized, open-label study was conducted in 1052 chemonaive patients with Stage IIIb/IV non-small cell lung cancer to compare ABRAXANE in combination with carboplatin to paclitaxel injection in combination with carboplatin as first-line treatment in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. ABRAXANE was administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes at a dose of 100 mg/m² on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle. Paclitaxel injection was administered as an intravenous infusion over 3 hours at a dose of 200 mg/m², following premedication. In both treatment arms carboplatin at a dose of AUC = 6 mg•min/mL was administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle after completion of ABRAXANE/paclitaxel infusion. Treatment was administered until disease progression or development of an unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate as determined by a central independent review committee using RECIST guidelines (Version 1.0).
In the intent-to-treat (all-randomized) population, the median age was 60 years, 75% were men, 81% were White, 49% had adenocarcinoma, 43% had squamous cell lung cancer, 76% were ECOG PS 1, and 73% were current or former smokers. Patients received a median of 6 cycles of treatment in both study arms.
Patients in the ABRAXANE/carboplatin arm had a statistically significantly higher overall response rate compared to patients in the paclitaxel injection/carboplatin arm [(33% versus 25%) see Table 13]. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between the two study arms.

Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas
A multicenter, multinational, randomized, open-label study was conducted in 861 patients comparing ABRAXANE plus gemcitabine versus gemcitabine monotherapy as first-line treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Key eligibility criteria were Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 70, normal bilirubin level, transaminase levels ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 5 times the ULN for patients with liver metastasis, no prior cytotoxic chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting or for metastatic disease, no ongoing active infection requiring systemic therapy, and no history of interstitial lung disease. Patients with rapid decline in KPS ( ≥ 10%) or serum albumin ( ≥ 20%) during the 14 day screening period prior to study randomization were ineligible.
A total of 861 patients were randomized (1:1) to the ABRAXANE/gemcitabine arm (N=431) or to the gemcitabine arm (N=430). Randomization was stratified by geographic region (Australia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, or North America), KPS (70 to 80 versus 90 to 100), and presence of liver metastasis (yes versus no). Patients randomized to ABRAXANE/gemcitabine received ABRAXANE 125 mg/m² as an intravenous infusion over 30-40 minutes followed by gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² as an intravenous infusion over 30-40 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Patients randomized to gemcitabine received 1000 mg/m² as an intravenous infusion over 30-40 minutes weekly for 7 weeks followed by a 1-week rest period in Cycle 1 then as 1000 mg/m² on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each subsequent 28-day cycle. Patients in both arms received treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). Additional outcome measures were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR), both assessed by independent, central, blinded radiological review using RECIST (version 1.0).
In the intent to treat (all randomized) population, the median age was 63 years (range 27-88 years) with 42% ≥ 65 years of age; 58% were men; 93% were White and KPS was 90-100 in 60%. Disease characteristics included 46% of patients with 3 or more metastatic sites; 84% of patients had liver metastasis; and the location of the primary pancreatic lesion was in the head of pancreas (43%), body (31%), or tail (25%).
Results for overall survival, progression-free survival, and overall response rate are shown in Table 14.

How to Alleviate Pain Caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is sometimes called "the worst pain known to mankind" and "the suicide disorder" by medical science. It is not the conventional pain as we know it (e.g., when cut by a sharp object or pricked with a needle) - it is more like an electric shock, very terrifying indeed. It is an "electrical fault" in the nerve system of the body. In caring for this problem, like a motor vehicle, your body needs an "auto electrician" (neurologist), not the normal garage mechanic (general medical practitioner). TN sometimes causes severe unrelenting facial and head pain. It usually attacks one side of the face but in rare instances can affect both sides. TN is not hopeless, but can be completely life-changing and a challenge, so you need some encouragement and a positive attitude to alleviate the pain you're feeling as much as possible.
1Find a comfortable place to be where you feel safe. Do not be alone! Use a speaker phone to talk to others, or visit support sites online. If you get to visit with a fellow patient, you will feel so much better. Experienced fellow sufferers are an invaluable source of information. Plus they really can relate to what you are going through!Ad
2Get a research neurologist or a good neurosurgeon who treats trigeminal neuralgia patients. When you go to your first appointment ask how many Facial Pain Patients this doctor treats. Chances are, the more patients the doctor has treated, the more this doctor knows. If they treat you with disdain, or are not patient enough to listen to your needs then find another doctor. Many patients have had a lot of doctors.
3Request an MRI to see if you have a possible Micro-Vascular Decompression (MVD). That occurs when the Trigeminal Nerve is pinched by an offending artery or other part of the body. MVD surgery, if you qualify, can put small "pillows" of Teflon or other soft fiber between the nerve and the offending problem. If you have had this condition less than two or three years, you have a good chance to live more pain free.
4Type up your medical report. Being in pain can cause you to forget important details.
- Write down the history of the disorder, when the first attack came, what precipitated it.
- Write down all medications you have been on, all the drugs you are taking, as well as herbs and vitamins.
- Add the names and contact info of all doctors as well as your closest contact person, such as your spouse.
- Be specific on surgeries and any strange symptoms.
- Keep this on your computer and update it once a month. Print a hard copy to take to your physician's appointments.
5Increase essential vitamin and micro-nutrient intake.
- Take 400 mg of magnesium a day.
- Take B complex and some good multivitamin and minerals daily!
- Try to eat natural, unprocessed foods like greens. Remember to eat a rainbow (a colorful diet)!
6Try Alpha-Stim technology which helps the nerves to learn how to be normal again. This is not like a Tens Unit at all, but it is the Normal electrical signal of the nerve. Your insurance should pay for much of this, as medical equipment, because it is FDA approved. You may have to educate your physician about it. This is a cumulative treatment and in time you won't need to do it so much. Try it for at least 3 weeks in prescribed physical therapy to see if it will work before you invest in a device to use at home. Headaches make TN worse so treat 'all headaches.
7Avoid touching the facial area and stimulating the face.
- Refrain from hard kissing and hugging.
- Avoid drafts, especially cold drafts.
- Keep your face covered with a soft, warm, breeze-proof scarf in cold or breezy weather.
- Wear a pin on your blouse to remind loved ones to avoid that side of your face.
- Keep some instant warm packs in your purse or pocket. This will help you if you get a sudden chill on your face. Apply the heat through a scarf to keep your face more comfortable.
8Try Botox, Neurological Injections from a reputable Neurologist, not a cosmetologist! This is a type of chemical de-nervation that will help you get some relief. The nerve will grow the covering back so you need to have it done every few months.
9Keep your prescription medication with you at all times. not wait to go into a severe attack.
10Try heat or ice to keep your neck muscles relaxed. Roll a hand towel up and use this under your neck instead of a pillow. Keep your head and face covered during sleep. Try not to sleep on the affected side as that will worsen pain in the morning. Hot tubs can be wonderful for pain management.
11Holistic approach to alleviate Trigeminal neuralgia pain : To help calm down Trigeminal nerve, a holistic approach including resonance homeopathic supplements, herbs and nutrients is worth trying in cases that are resistant to available conventional treatments like pain killers, opiates, surgical interventions etc. The holistic remedies work on the following principles;
- To Calm the Trigeminal Nerve .
- To help it to stop firing at the slightest impulse.
- To rebuild the protective sheath around the nerve.
- To relieve numbness and tingling along the path of the Trigeminal nerve.
- Studies suggest that Resonance homeopathic remedies like Aconite; Hypericum, Hekla Lava; Spigelia and Bioenergetic Impressions of Peripheral Nerve Endings, Trigeminal Nerve etc may relieve Trigeminal Neuralgia pain without any side-effects. Studies suggest that Magnesium and Folic acid may have calming effect on the nerves and may facilitate better transmission of impulses via the nerves.
12Get an accurate diagnosis. Some have gotten this disorder after a root canal. If this is the case, do not get your teeth extracted! The pain comes from the Cranial Nerve called the Trigeminal Nerve, if you pull your teeth out, the pain will NOT stop because the nerve is still there! If you had a severe infection, make sure you were medicated with antibiotics because the infection from the abscess can move on to other branches of the nerve. Some of the population get this because of Multiple Sclerosis. Please get checked out by your doctor. Speak to your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis and proper care.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Get enough sleep, exhaustion makes attacks much worse.
- Make a place to rest and relax in your home, a gentle place with quiet music that you can darken easily in a crisis because Bright Lights can make the pain worse. Make sure the room is warm and cozy with a comfy chair or bed and no drafts.
- Keep soft foods on hand for attacks, sometimes it is hard to chew normal foods during episodes. Rooibos tea from Africa has some healing properties for head pain and it works for some.
- If you are having a hard time getting a good diagnosis, visit an OroFacial Cranial Specialist and a Pain Clinic.
- Most doctors DO approve of narcotics for this disorder in resistant cases where the anti-seizure and other pain preventing medications and procedures do not work. If you do not have an understanding doctor, FIND ANOTHER ONE who will make your life more livable! Morphine and other narcotics can be used successfully to give you a normal life! Remember, if you are suffering in INTRACTABLE pain, narcotic use will help you to be NORMAL, not comatose! That is one sign that is used, if you can function well, you need the pain medication. If you are out of it, you most likely do NOT need that much medication. In a crisis go to the Emergency room armed with your plan of action for crisis and letter from your neurologist about your condition. This is most important when you travel. Travel by plane can increase your pain so pre-medicate prior to flying.
- When you are having an attack, you won't feel like cooking and are more likely to eat junk food and sugars, which only exacerbate the pain. Freeze single portions of healthy meals to have on hand. Proteins work best. Do not skip meals, even though sometimes the last thing you want to do is eat.
- Pain is exhausting so learn to know what triggers your pain, so you can pace your life.
- HAVE GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOU AND ALL DOCTORS. Make sure they ALL have the same information. Be the center hub of the wheel of your care. Do not assume they all have the right info.
- Get a group of supportive friends and family if you do not know anyone else with this disorder that you can count on. You most likely will need someone you can call even at 2 am to help talk you through or sit in quiet supportive presence during an attack. When you have it a long time, family can get burned out so an alternate person is helpful. Use a speaker phone so you won't be touching your face during an attack when you are talking on the phone.
- When you have a remission, don't overdo it, pace yourself. Enjoy every minute of your life with joy.
- Keep your teeth in Good shape. Many of us have lost teeth, or had poor dental hygiene due to pain. Get a great dentist who understands TN and he can help guide you.
- Stay hydrated! Dehydration makes pain worse.
- Avoid chewing gum, hot and cold foods which can trigger pain episodes. Tepid or room temperature food and drinks only (when able).
- Do not overdose on Over the Counter Pain medications! They normally do not help this condition so don't use them. OTC medications for pain can cause a rebound headache.
- Do not let the doctors do destructive techniques on the Trigeminal nerve until you have exhausted all other methods of treatment!
- Suicide Warning! Remember, this disorder won't kill you, but it may want you to give up and die. Fight and get your medical team and family to help you in a crisis. Get a plan ready prior to a crisis. Keep your medications up to proper levels, and don't skip your dosing! Keep all guns, dangerous knives, or anything you could use to harm yourself out of your house. Always have someone to call when you are in a terrible attack, even in the middle of the night.

Tips and tricks for pairing wine with Chinese food, in illustrated form. More
A BYOB restaurant is a beautiful thing; it's also fun to get takeout and be able to open wine from your own collection or favorite wine shop. But if Chinese food is on the menu, which bottles should you pop? Depends on if you're eating Mapo tofu or Peking duck, dan dan noodles, dumplings, or delicate seafood preparations. We asked 14 sommeliers for their wine pairing advice. What's the most delicious wine to pair with Chinese food? Here's what they had to say. More
"I don't feel like cooking tonight. Let's grab some take-out." Who hasn't said that at least once? No matter how much you like to cook, sometimes you just aren't feeling it. In those instances, a delivery pizza or a jog around the corner for Chinese is just the ticket. While you're out, pick up some beer. But what beer to choose? Here are some general pointers to help you find a good match for whatever dishes you're ordering. More

Prague - Over one-fourth of the votes cast in the recent Czech Social Democrat (CSSD) party referendum were invalid, the party's press department told CTK today.
Sociální demokraté sčítali 6. srpna v Praze hlasy vnitrostranického referenda, které může výrazně ovlivnit budoucnost strany. Hlasování rozhodne například o způsobu výběru kandidátů do voleb, zastoupení žen na kandidátkách nebo kumulaci funkcí. ČTK Doležal Michal
The Social Democrat leader, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, said these were no protest votes.
The voting system was not quite simple, Sobotka said.
Over 52 percent of the Social Democrats participated in the internal referendum, which means that the vote was valid.
Out of the 22,500 party members, 11,783 took part in the referendum.
Out of the three referendum questions, most Social Democrats consider the most important the question whether all party members or only part of its elites (like at present) should assist in selecting election candidates.
The other two questions decided on women's stronger representation on the lists of candidates for general and regional elections (at least 40 percent) and on preventing the plurality of offices.
"This was the first such a vote in the party. The system connected with the verification paper is not simple. In a next referendum, the number of invalid votes will certainly decrease," Sobotka said.
As the referendum is binding, the party will change its rules accordingly next year.

2013 Los Angeles Dodgers Season Review: Shortstops
Hanley Ramirez .345/.402/.638/1.040; .442 wOBA; 191 wRC+; .293 ISO; unexpectedly solid defense at an extremely important defensive position (shortstop) where offense is secondary; and ~5.3 WAR.

2013 NLCS Game 3: Dodgers 3, Cardinals 0 – The joy is back in Puig and the Dodgers
Hyun Jin Ryu threw a gem to lead the Dodgers to a 3-0 win over the Cardinals in Game 3 of the 2013 NLCS. Hanley Ramirez returned but was still obviously hurting. He had two hits, but let's be honest, they were basically pop-ups. Adrian Gonzalez broke the Dodgers out of their slump to put the team up 1-0. Yasiel ... Read More »

Dodgers vs. Cardinals, 2013 NLCS breakdown: No narrative, just baseball

Post your answer
You are 100% liable for the other person's damages. He/she, in turn, is obligated to provide you with an estimate of repair costs PRIOR to vehicle repairs. If the insurer of the person you hit paid the claim then you should be OK to reinburse them for the costs. If he/she did it on their own then this could get real messy. How do you know if the estimate is correct? etc, etc.
You may have to have a judge decide the outcome.
Dang...THIS is why insurance is necessary....it doesn't cost, it PAYS!
Was this answer helpful to you?
Todd C
First, no one needs to supply 3 estimates for repairs. There are even a few states that have laws against this demand.
Second, no fault almost always applies to _injuries_, not property damage (Michigan is the only state I know of where this does not apply).
Lastly, yes you are liable for the repairs. While the person has the responsiblity to prove their loss, the esimate (performed by a non-bias third party) would certainlly qualify as proof of the loss. About your only recourse is to submit the person's estimate/repair bill to another 3rd party who is qualified to repair vehicles and see of they could have done the work for less. It's doubtful that the other person would except the lesser payment but their recourse would be to file in small claims court.
I don't know of any state that does not require liability insurance on a vehicle. You were driving without insurance? Do you really want to press this issue?
Was this answer helpful to you?
yes, you are.
i agree that it probably wasn't right of her to go out and get her car fixed without getting several quotes, but on the flipside, if she needed to get her car back on the road fast, then she took the most sensible option for her circumstances.
put yourself in her shoes - she can either sort it out quickly and hit you up for the costs, or mess around trying to get quotes and dealing with this through you when she may not have the time or availability to do that. it could be a big inconvenience to her, when she didn't cause the damages in the first place.
at the end of the day, if you caused the damages, you are liable for the cost of repairs, regardless of who pays for the damage repairs initially.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Why don't you notify your insurance. You shouldn't pay until your insurance tells you hopefully they will just tell you to pay a portion. If you didn't have insurance is another story.
Was this answer helpful to you?
if the other person repaired the car then where's the evidence that an accident actually did happen? maybe it was figment of their imagination?? were the police called? is there any proof that you actually hit this person?
Was this answer helpful to you?
git r done
she has got to give you 3 quotes,then you pick one,she can't make you pay any other way.
Was this answer helpful to you?
You need to notify your insurance company, providing them with copies of the accident report, etc. It's their job to deal with the other party to the accident. Liability will hinge on who was responsible for the accident - and to wat degree - and whether or not your state is a "no fault" state. You should be in close contact with your insurance agent as you attempt to get a fair settlement offer from the insurance company. It's up to the insurance company to go after the other person's insurance carrier for reimbursement of that person's liability.
Was this answer helpful to you?
yes - you are liable for the damages.
Are you liable for the amount they paid to have the damages repaired?
Let's say you damaged a door and that door had to be repaired and painted.....but they went out and got the ENTIRE car painted. That one is pretty simple. No - you don't owe to have the entire car painted.
Can they have the entire car painted? Yep - but you only owe to paint the door. Capeche?
Hopefully you have a picture of the damages and can prove what you owe.

UK investigators are urging a safety review of lithium-powered emergency locator transmitters and that measures be taken to inert the Honeywell-built ELT fitted to the Boeing 787.
The recommendations follow the fire which badly damaged an unoccupied Ethiopian Airlines 787-8 (ET-AOP), parked on remote stand 592 at London Heathrow, on 12 July.
Investigators have yet to reach firm conclusions over the source of the fire. But the area of greatest heat damage, in the rear fuselage crown, "coincides" with the ELT's internal mounting location and associated wiring, says the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
Although the 787 was plugged into a ground power source, with umbilical cables, the stand's power had been switched off - a status visually confirmed by an engineer in the cockpit before he vacated the jet.
"There are no other aircraft systems in this vicinity [of the ELT] which, with the aircraft unpowered, contain stored energy capable of initiating a fire in the area of heat damage," says the inquiry.
Firefighters summoned to the 787 sprayed the aircraft with water and foam, and unplugged the umbilical cables as a precaution. They entered through a forward left-hand passenger door, encountering thick smoke, and saw signs of fire above rear ceiling panels in the cabin.
Attempts to tackle it with a handheld halon extinguisher were unsuccessful, so a ceiling panel was moved and the fire was put out with water hoses.
"Had this event occurred in flight it could pose a significant safety concern and raise challenges for the cabin crew in tackling the resulting fire," says the AAIB.
Honeywell's Rescu406AFN transmitter, which contains lithium-manganese dioxide batteries, has become the focus of the probe.
The company has manufactured around 6,000 units of the same design but the AAIB points out that the incident appears "extremely rare", with the 787 fire the "only significant thermal event" involving the 406MHz device.
Examination of the ELT indicates a degree of "disruption" to the battery cells, but it adds: "It is not clear, however, whether the combustion in the area of the ELT was initiated by a release of energy within the batteries or by an external mechanism such as an electrical short.
"In the case of an electrical short, the same batteries could provide the energy for an ignition and suffer damage in the subsequent fire."
The 787 sustained extensive heat damage in the upper part of its rear fuselage and significant thermal effects on the insulation and composite aircraft structure.
"Detailed examination of the ELT and the possible mechanisms for the initiation and sustaining of the fire in this aircraft continues," says the AAIB.
Investigators have recommended that a safety review of lithium-powered ELT installations be conducted and that the US FAA commences action for "making inert" the ELT fitted to the 787 ahead of any subsequent airworthiness directives.
