Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said Friday that five players — including two starters — will not play in Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Bucs in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Among those ruled out by Vitt were right tackle Zach Strief with an ankle injury, and free safety Malcolm Jenkins, who has a hamstring problem. Both players missed practice all week after they were hurt in last Sunday's 52-27 loss to the New York Giants.
Strief will be replaced in the starting lineup by William Robinson, while second-year pro Isa Abdul-Quddus will likely get the call for Jenkins.
Also out are CB Corey White (knee), RB Chris Ivory (hamstring) and T Charles Brown (knee).
FB Jed Collins (toe) was able to practice on a limited basis Friday and was listed as questionable for the game by Vitt.
Here is the final injury report turned in to the league office by Vitt and Bucs coach Greg Schiano:
Out — T Zach Strief (ankle), FS Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), CB Corey White (knee), RB Chris Ivory (hamstring), T Charles Brown (knee).
Questionable — FB Jed Collins (toe).
Questionable — DE Da'Quan Bowers (hamstring), CB LeQuan Lewis (knee).
Probable — DE Michael Bennett (shoulder), G Jamon Meredith (ankle), CB Anthony Gaitor (hamstring), DT Roy Miller (head).
— Sheldon Mickles

05.14.2012 / Eating Healthy on a Budget
Eating healthy does not have to be expensive. Eating healthy whole foods instead of eating large amounts of convenient, processed foods will promote health and reduce your risk of certain diseases.
The keys to making healthy, economical purchase decisions are the 3 P's: plan, purchase and prepare, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Set a weekly meal budget and plan your meals and snacks accordingly. Make a grocery list based on your meal plan and on sales and coupons available in your local paper or online. Base your meals around fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season as they are less expensive, easier to find and more flavorful.
Stick to your grocery list; you will save money by buying only what you need and can allot more of your food budget for fruits and vegetables. Be sure to buy them in their simplest form as pre-cut, pre-washed and ready-to-eat produce costs much more. For fruits and vegetables that are not in season, opt to purchase them canned or frozen, as they can be less expensive than fresh. When selecting canned items, choose fruit canned in 100% fruit juice and vegetables with low sodium or no salt added. Healthy low-cost items that are available all year round include:
- Protein: garbanzo, black and cannellini beans
- Vegetables: carrots, greens and potatoes
- Fruit: apples and bananas
Pre-cook and prepare meals in advance, if possible, to ease the temptation of purchasing unhealthy convenience foods. Doubling recipes and freezing vegetable soups, stews or other dishes in advance can save time and money. Try to incorporate your leftovers into lunch or dinner the next day. Leftover vegetables can easily be added to casseroles. Don't let your overripe fruit go to waste, as it is great for making smoothies or baking.
Eating healthy doesn't have to break the bank. By making smart choices when planning, purchasing and preparing, you can economically prepare nutritious meals for your family.

Sony Xperia Z2 goes up for pre-order ahead of 1 April release
Yours for £550
JAPANESE PHONE MAKER Sony's Xperia Z2 smartphone has gone up for pre-order in the UK ahead of its anticipated release on 1 April.
Expansys and Unlocked Mobiles have become the first two retailers to start taking pre-orders for the flagship Xperia Z2 smartphone, pricing it at £549.99 and £544.98 SIM-free, respectively. Unlocked Mobiles is also offering a freebie bundle worth £200 too that includes a free speaker, headphones and a content package, although it has yet to reveal what this includes.
While Expansys and Sony have kept quiet about a release date, Unlocked Mobiles claims that it will start sending out orders on 1 April. If true, this will see Sony's Xperia Z2 beat its fiercest rival, the Samsung Galaxy S5, to market, with that set to be released on 11 April.
For those who don't fancy coughing up close to £550 for the Sony Xperia Z2, UK mobile operators O2, EE, Three and Vodafone have been quick to announce that they will carry the handset. Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4u plan to sell Sony's flagship Android 4.4 Kitkat smartphone too, with pre-orders set to kick off in mid-March.
The Sony Xperia Z2 was unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) last week, and improves on its Xperia Z1 predecessor with a larger 5.2in HD 1080p screen, a nippier quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and a thin 8.2mm casing.
The handset also features IP58 certification, a 20.7MP rear-facing camera capable of shooting 4K video, 4G LTE support, a 3,200mAh battery and Google's Android 4.4 Kitkat mobile operating system skinned with Sony's custom user interface.

LG Optimus Vu II launches in Korea, tries to compete with Samsung's Galaxy Note II
LG has finally unveiled its new Optimus Vu II handset, after teasing us with info about it in a press release last month.
The Vu II will try to stand next to the Samsung Galaxy Note II in the phablet market (if that's a market at all), and is obviously the successor to the first Optimus Vu – which isn't that old, since it only recently became available in some countries (like the US, where Verizon is selling it as the LG Intuition).
Running Android 4.0 ICS (hopefully upgradeable to Jelly Bean), the Optimus Vu sports the same 5 inch, 1024 x 768 pixels display as its predecessor. Enhanced features include a new 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon MSM8960 processor, 2GB of RAM, Rubberdium Pen 2.0, VoLTE, and MicroSD card support. As previously reported, the Vu II comes with a new infrared remote control system called QRemote – enabling users to control various devices in their house.
LG is selling the Optimus Vu II in South Korea for 966,900 KRW (about $866). The company didn't say when (or if) it plans to introduce the handset in other markets.

A Little Lady, Ladybug Party (49 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Decorating for your ladybug party is a breeze with the help of some fabulous Etsy shops and vendors. This party was divided up into three separate stations for the kids to enjoy: a dessert table, the party favor table and a fun little picnic/play area where all the activities took place. As the centerpiece of both the dessert and party favor table, I turned to the talented shop Pedestals to help me out. They create AMAZING stands for all your party, wedding and event needs. And these stands are no joke; they are sturdy, large and impeccably made. Amber was so great to customize my pedestal and create exactly what I was looking for. In all honesty, I feel like the stand 'made the party.' It was such a great focal point and provided the height the structure that I was looking for. You can purchase your own stand here.
To compliment the amazing pedestal, I called upon my favorite partier Nancy of A to Zebra Celebrations to create the darling ribbon banner hanging on the front of the dessert table. Not only do I adore Nancy, I love her styling and fun products. The ribbon banner was a perfect look for this table. You can purchase this item here.
And of course no Love The Day Party would be complete without our coordinating sewn decor from Sew Love The Day. We created some super fun patterns to coordinate with this party: ladybug wands, hair and shoe clips and ladybug pillows/party seats! The ladybug wands were used throughout the party, coming out of the flower arrangements, hung to the backdrop and stapled to the table corners. The pattern is simple and a complete non-sewer could create these without any trouble. The pillows, my most favorite part, created a little seats for the ladybugs to sit on while they played games and made bracelets. The girls LOVED them and they are fabulous party favors. Both patterns can be purchased here and here.
No party is complete without activities and games. I'm all about playing traditional party games that we all know and love, but putting a fun twist on them so that they fit the party theme. For the ladybug party we played musical ladybugs, pin the heart on the ladybug and made little lady bracelets.
We started out making little lady bracelets! The girls had so much fun and it was SO easy to prepare for. I purchased that fun stretchy boon-doogle stuff, a few packets of beads and placed them in fun little bowls. Easy as that!
And now to the most important aspect of any party, the treats! I always outsource the goodies to save time and as I am a pretty mediocre baker. And lucky for me I found the most DARLING bakery shop in Austin! The Sugar Shack, owned by a mother & daughter provided the chocolate and red velvet cupcakes and created the chocolate ladybug truffles to match my Ladybug Printable Collection. Not only were the cupcakes darling, they were so absolutely scrumptious! The chocolate frosting was ridiculous! And the truffles were a huge hit. The girls loved the little bites of ladybug goodness. If you live in Austin, you NEED to stop by The Sugar Shack and meet this fun family and taste some of their goodies. I'm dying to get my hands on their cinnamon buns.
The adorable ladybug cookies were sent by The Cookie Jar. Iced cookies are all the rage, and although there are handfuls of talented cookie designers out there, The Cookie Jar continues to be one of my favorite shops. Their cookies are fantastic, perfectly iced and have a fabulous vanilla flavor. And seriously how fabulous are the flowers and ladybugs? They can be purchased here.
The last treats that were served, were brownie bites in party cups provided by Sofies Big Day. I used these darling polka dot cups, filled them with brownie batter and topped them with a red gum-ball. I am obsessed with coordinating party straws, cups, wrappers, etc and Sofies Big Day has loads of fantastic party supplies. The chevron bags, striped straws and polka dot cups can all by found here, here and here.
Wrapping up ladybug week with fun accessories! I love coordinating clothes, bows, shirts, pretty much anything to match a party theme. With the help of Wild Things Dresses, Sew Love The Day and Shiloh Mystie Design the little ladybugs were perfectly coordinated for the event.
Wild Things Dresses, my new favorite shop designed and created the Ladybug Dress. Their shop is stocked with colorful and fun-themed dresses perfect for any occasion. The fox and baby chick dress are my total favorites. You will for sure see the bumble bee dress in an upcoming party. I can't get enough! So if you have or know a little baby girl, you must head over to this cute shop and place your order.
And no dress in complete with matching bows and hair clips! Sew Love The Day has created a super fun & easy tutorial to make your own clips to match any party. The patterns can be found here. I love how they complimented the dresses, ladybug wings and partyd decor. And the kids LOVED putting the clips on their shoes.
Lastly, Shiloh Mystie Design created the ladybug headbands as party favors for each guest! Placed inside Sofies Big Day's chevron party bags, the ladybug headbands were a fun little surprise for each girl as they walked in the door. The headbands were impressively constructed and the party girls adored the fun feathers! Shiloh has a great selections of headbands that can be found here:

WASHINGTON (AP) - What the Supreme Court says this year in its most significant ruling about race in a generation probably depends on just one or two of the court's nine members.
Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy, the court's perennial swing voters, could write the demise of affirmative action as the nation knows it, or rewrite the rules for when race can be part of government decisions.
The historic affirmative action cases the court takes up Tuesday ask how and whether race can be a factor when public colleges and universities choose their students. More broadly, the cases ask wrenching legal and constitutional questions about equality, fairness, opportunity and history.
"It is very likely that it will be 5-4," UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh said of the court's eventual vote. "The question is, 5-4 which way?"
The University of Michigan and its law school give extra credit to minority applicants, making it more likely that a black, Hispanic or Native American will edge out a white applicant who has similar test scores, grades or other attributes.
Three white students who challenged the Michigan policies frame their argument in simple terms: It is not fair for a minority to win a coveted place on campus just because he or she is a minority.
"I was treated unfairly because of my skin color," said Jennifer Gratz, a white student rejected by the university. "Court records show that if I had been black, Hispanic or Native American, I would have had a nearly 100 percent chance of admission with my grades and record."

Samson Agonistes
by John Milton
Samson Agonistes Samson meets the Chorus (115—329) Summary
- But no! It turns out the approaching group is the Chorus, members of the Tribe of Dan. Also a member of the Tribe of Dan? Samson, and therefore these people are his friends and acquaintances.
- Brain snack: The Chorus is a standard part of all Greek tragedy. They're like our little on-stage helpers, commenting on the action, offering advice, maybe saying some smart things, singing and dancing, and basically playing the part of "ordinary people."
- For some nifty Greek Choruses, check out Aeschylus' Agamemnon or Euripides' Bacchae.
- The Chorus is trying to be all hush-hush, but they can't believe how much Samson has changed—dispirited, hopeless, dressed in rags. C'mon, dude, don't buy all your clothes at Goodwill. How could this be the same famously heroic Samson they used to know?
- Someone who was stronger than anyone else ever, tore lions apart, would single-handedly destroy armies, and against whom all forms of armor and weapons were useless?
- Really, the only way to protect yourself against Samson was to get as far away from him as possible. Famous warriors and even whole armies ran away from him.
- And this one time, at a battle? Samson lifted a whole city gate.
- The Chorus can't decide what's worse at first, Samson's blindness or his captivity, but they eventually settle on his blindness, which they call "the dungeon of thy self," and describe how sad it must be to be trapped in one's own darkness (156). Way to cheer him up, guys.
- They see Samson as a perfect example of how far someone can fall after living a life of impressive potential.
- At this point, Samson clues in to the fact that they're there, saying that he can hear some people whispering.
- So the Chorus decides to speak to him.
- They tell him that they're friends and they want to cheer him up.Samson doesn't seem that grateful but instead explains how suffering has taught him how fake friends can be: when you're doing great, they love you, but when you're doing badly they never visit you. But they're here, so he might as well describe his various problems right?
- Here goes:
- He's like the pilot of a ship who has wrecked his ship through carelessness. He feels stupid because he brought all these problems on himself by letting himself be tempted by an untrustworthy woman and gave up this special gift he was given from God.
- So, really: is he talking about him? making fun of what's happened to him? saying that he deserves what has happened to him? He may be strong, but he's not too smart—is this unbalance to blame for the disaster of his life?
- The Chorus basically shrugs, telling Samson not to question God's plans. He isn't the first person, smart or not, to make a mistake and be seduced by a woman—and he won't be the last. Right, ladies?!
- They urge him not to be so down on himself, especially since he has plenty of other problems to worry about.
- But, now that he mentions it, it is weird that he chose to marry a Philistine woman, instead of one of the many hotties of his own people.
- Samson can explain. He first married a Philistine woman named Timna, against his parents' wishes, because God had revealed to him that this was part of Samson's Important Destiny to save Israel.When that marriage didn't pan out (Samson doesn't explain why), he marries another Philistine woman, Dalila, because he figured if that was the plan for the first one, it should be for this one too.
- In case we're wondering, this was not a good decision. We know that, because he calls her "that specious monster" and other not-so-nice things (230).
- However, he says he can't really blame Dalila since it was his own stinkin' fault for revealing his secrets.
- The Chorus responds by saying that Samson was right to try to do anything he thought would lead to his country's salvation... but it is too bad that Israel is still under Philistine rule (cough cough).
- Okay, but that is totally not Samson's fault. It's the fault of Israel's leaders, who didn't even acknowledge Samson's warnings about the Philistines until, wham, Philistine invaded Israel.
- Then, guess what? Everyone was asking for Samson's help in fighting the Philistines, which he did amazingly well, thankyouverymuch.
- If these leaders had sent out enough support to help Samson, Israel would probably be ruling Philistine, not vice-versa. But now they're just lazy and accustomed to being ruled and now don't even care about poor Samson, who had fought so valiantly to defend them in the past.
- The Chorus replies that Samson's story reminds them of other similar situations (all, not surprisingly, from the Bible):
- (1) When a hero named Gideon was refused help by the leaders of Succoth and Penuel; (2) When a hero named Jephtha was left out to dry by the leaders of Ephraim, even though his fighting in battle was crucial in defending Israel.
- Sound familiar?Samson thinks so. He totally thinks he should be added to the list, because he's always followed God's promise for his people's deliverance.
- The Chorus replies by saying that God's plans are always just and always "justifiable to men," unless of course, you're an atheist, which they say is the dumbest attitude toward religion (293-294).
- But there are plenty of religious people who question the justness of God's actions. Not cool.
- These people tend to think themselves in circles, never able to actually reach a conclusion.They act as if God has to follow his own rules, when he obviously made these rules for us to follow and he can do whatever he wants because, um, he's God.
- For example, they say, God broke his own "rule" of not allowing Israelites to marry non-Israelites when he urged Samson to marry Timna. But obviously God did this because he had bigger and better plans for freeing Israel completely.
- Basically, they suggest that we ignore pointless reasoning and then make a very cryptic and unclear reference to Samson's first wife and her infidelities.
- Then the Chorus takes a break from this philosophizing to announce that Samson's father, Manoa, is approaching.

The Restaurant
Savour the moment in an exceptional atmosphere
Restaurant in Crissier
Restaurant in Crissier, near Lausanne
A prestigious address
For nearly 40 years a succession of legendary chefs has enriched the culinary art of the Restaurant de l'Hôtel de Ville in Crissier near Lausanne.
Beginning with Frédy Girardet who, by following in his father's footsteps first brought renown to the establishment by becoming "Sacré Cuisiner du Siècle". 10 years later he hands over the restaurant to Philippe Rochat who, in turn, goes on to obtain 3 Michelin Stars, bringing international fame to the restaurant.
Today it is the turn of Benoît Viollier to oversee the famous kitchens in Crissier, applying his style, knowledge and experience to the restaurant in Crissier that has become a legend.
The spirit of the table
Innovation in tradition
Conscious of his precious inheritance Benoît Violier remains true to the philosophy of Crissier by following the footsteps of the great chefs.
Remaining loyal to traditions Benoît Violier has added his own character to where the produce is the key element of his refined and exceptional cooking. His passion for Game can be found on the Autumn menu.
The atmosphere
A light and cosy atmosphere
The Restaurant de l'Hôtel de Ville has been completely refurbished. Two new dining rooms are elegant and refined with a slight touch of modernity.
Nature has inspired the decor. European wood such as Elm can be found throughout. Branches and foliage of hazel trees delicately lights the room thanks to an ingenious lighting system. This subtle light emphasizes the beige and soft tones that dominate the rooms. All the materials used are eco-friendly, respecting the environment.
The tableware is elegant "Raynaud" Limoges porcelain complimented by the famous Baccarat Crystal.
From the decor to the tableware, everything was created to accompany on your trip to a special dining experience.

One of two footballing twins, Paweł Brożek is an accomplished, predatory striker whereas his brother Piotr, who has played alongside him for most of his career, operates as a left-back. A serial Polish title winner with Wisła Kraków, he joined Trabzonspor AŞ in January 2011 and then moved on loan to Celtic FC a year later.
• Born in Kielce, he joined Wisła (along with his brother) at 15 and scored his first Ekstraklasa goal in his second home game – on 21 April 2001, his 18th birthday, against MKS Odra Wodzisław Śląski.
• Had a loan spell at ŁKS Łódź before returning to Wisła and scoring on his European debut, a UEFA Cup first round match against NK Primorje; his progress at Wisła was blocked by the club's prolific strike partnership of Tomasz Frankowski and Maciej Żurawski, so he was farmed out for a further spell on loan to GKS Katowice.
• Having had a goalscoring debut for Poland against Mexico on 27 April 2005, he finally made his mark at Wisła in 2005/06, registering 13 times in the league and participating at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where he appeared as a substitute in all three matches.
• Spearheaded Wisła's back-to-back Ekstraklasa title triumphs of 2007/08 and 2008/09, scoring 23 goals in the former to take the league's top scorer crown and 19 in the latter to share the prize with Legia Warszawa's Zimbabwean import Takesure Chinyama.
• Left out of Poland's UEFA EURO 2008 squad by coach Leo Beenhakker despite his prolific club form, he reclaimed his place after the Dutchman's departure and scored his fifth goal during Franciszek Smuda's reign in a November 2011 friendly win against Hungary; featured little as he won the 2011/12 Scottish title on loan at Celtic.

David Arnold <dwarnold45@...>
All, Wondering if I should upgrade to Mountain Lion. I am running: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) Currently using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Wondering if it is wise to update. I clicked the "Upgrade Now" button at http://www.apple.com/osx/ and got a popup up window with a lot of negative comments. So, maybe this system is not appropriate for my older model? Your thoughts on your experience with this new operating system would help in making this decision. Thanks. D.

What are some of the natural number theory problems that are np-complete? I am looking for examples not in lattices and geometric number theory. Examples in analytic/algebraic number theory are ok.
You can take a look at the papers by Adleman and Manders (not always in this order) from the 70s (at least "Computational complexity of decision procedures for polynomials", "NP-complete decision problems for quadratic polynomials", "Diophantine complexity"), and the references therein.
One example of the problems they show to be NP-complete is the following decision problem.
See pages 249-251 of Garey and Johnson, Computers and Intractability, for a dozen NP-complete problems in Number Theory.
EDIT: A couple of examples, by request.
AN2, Simultaneous incongruences. Given a collection $\lbrace(a_1,b_1),\dots,(a_n,b_n)\rbrace$ of ordered pairs of positive integers with $a_i\le b_i$ for $1\le i\le n$, is there an integer $x$ such that for all $i$, $x\not\equiv a_i\pmod{b_i}$?
AN4, Comparative divisibility. Given sequences $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$ and $b_1,b_2,\dots,b_m$ of positive integers, is there a positive integer $c$ such that the number of $i$ for which $c$ divides $a_i$ is more than the number

The Associate Press is projecting Democrat Jack Markell has won re-election as Delaware's governor, while Sen. Tom Carper has been elected to a third term in the U.S. Senate
With 183 of 433 districts reporting, Markell had nearly 72 percent of the vote to Republican Jeff Cragg's 26 percent. The Green Party's Mark Joseph Perri and Libertarian Jesse McVay combined for only 2 percent.
Carper, meanwhile, had tallied 68.2 percent of the vote to Republican Kevin Wade's 27.4 percent. Independent Alexander Pires, who ran a high-profile race targeting Carper, received 3.8 percent of the vote. The Green Party's Andrew Richard Groff finished with less than one percent of the vote.

College Hockey:Ammon needs only 7 minutes for hat trick in Princeton's win over Massachusetts-Lowell
PRINCETON, N.J. — Andrew Ammon's hat trick — all scored in the final seven minutes — helped Princeton rally from a 2-1 deficit for a 5-2 victory over Massachusetts-Lowell on Friday.
After Matt Arhontas pulled the teams even with just over eight minutes remaining, Ammon started his scoring spree, which represented the freshman's first collegiate goals.
He scored at even strength with seven minutes left. He scored on the power play with 4:17 left. And he scored short-handed, into an empty net, in the final minute.
Sean Bonar made 16 saves for the Tigers (7-5).
Doug Carr stopped 40 shots for the River Hawks (2-13-2), who twice took the lead on goals by David Vallorani and Matt Ferreira.

Disease Proof
Dr. Fuhrman on Getting Off Prednisone
I have an appointment to see you in 3 1/2 weeks but I'm writing hoping I can start doing something now. I am looking for help in getting off my Prednisone. I am a 59 year-old woman who was in good health, but under tremendous stress due to family crises (caregiver). I came down with pericarditis on Aug. 13, 2006, had a pericardial effusion and tamponade on Aug. 24th and emergency surgery - a pericardial window - the same day to drain the fluid. I began Prednisone 40 mg on Aug. 25th with a taper schedule. The pericarditis has persisted. I have not been able to taper down on the Prednisone. I have had 4 flare-ups since Aug. 25th. In the 78 days I have been on Prednisone, the majority of the time I have been on 30 mg and the rest of the time between 30 mg - 40 mg or 15 mg - 25 mg, depending on where I was with the taper. I am currently on 25 mg Prednisone, Colchicine 0.6 mg 2 x day, Motrin 600 mg 3 x day, Metoprolol 25 mg 2 x day (I had one episode of afibrillation 2 days after the surgery, but no past or current heart problems), Protonix 40 mg 2 x day, Synthroid 25 mcg (Hashimoto's disease, hypothyroidism, ongoing for 8 years).
I have read 'Eat to Live' and am reading 'Fasting and Eating for Health.' I did not eat sugar, white flour, meat or simple carbohydrates and recently went off wheat.
I was wondering whether you could tell me if there was anything I could be doing right now towards helping me get off the Prednisone in the period while I wait for my appointment with you.
Dr. Fuhrman:
You should start my dietary protocol right away. Eat the light diet described below and nothing else until you see me and do not drink any water. Do not use any salt or any product containing any sodium. Don't try to decrease the prednisone faster than 2.5 mg per week and do not start tapering further until following this protocol for at least a week.
Breakfast: Kiwis, berries, green apple and a glass of fresh squeezed carrot, beet, parsley, kale juice.
Lunch: Green lettuce, tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, watercress, shredded carrots and raw beets, with a dressing made from sesame seeds, orange and lemon. Eat two tablespoons of raw sunflower seeds. And a bowl of soup made with vegetable juice, leek, collards, kale, bok choy and zucchini.
Dinner: A blended smoothie made with banana, avocado, lettuce spinach and kale. Steamed green vegetable such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, baby bok choy, artichokes or asparagus. You can have a small amount (less than one ounce) of raw almonds, Brazil nuts or raw pistachio nuts. You can have one fresh fruit, such as papaya, mango, melon, apple or pear and another glass of fresh vegetable juice with dinner if you like.
Thank you so much for your reply and for giving me your protocol for me to start. I started the protocol yesterday. Really happy to be on it.
I just wanted to ask you one question now. I have a hypothyroid and the cruciferous vegetables in their raw form are goiterogenic. Is it OK if I steam them before using them in the parts of the diet where they would normally be eaten raw?
Dr. Fuhrman:
Please forget about the idea that raw cruciferous vegetables are goiteragenic. That does not happen in real life with real people and I assure you that the amount of raw greens you can eat will not hurt your thyroid.
can kale and leeks be added together in a vegetable smoothie
I have been on Prednisone since August 20,2009 for a blood infection found afer I had cataract left eye surgery on the 19th of August. I was told I had Temporal Arteritis have been having regular blood tests done weekly since then. I have been taking 100mgs daily of Prednisone. Now have the round face and swollen neck and weight gain. I don't reconise myself in the mirror anymore. I so want to come off the Prednsione and have my life back. Since being on the Prednsione I have constant back pain and night sweats and suffer other side effects far too numerous to mention. Please help me get off this drug. My family doctor says I am to be on this for the rest of my life. Which is something I don't want to be, is there no other drug that I can be on that doesn't have this many side effects and changing of my body and life? Please help me get off this Prednsione I hate what I have become and look like. Please help me?
I have been on prednisone since 2001 for lupus. I would like to get off this drug and slowly off all pharmicuetical drugs.I have other underlying illnesses and have noticed that there are natural vitamins and herbs that help in those areas. I would love to get off of prednisone without all the side effects and the symptoms.Can you help?
I have lupus and I have been on prednisone for 11 years now at 10 mg/day and am weaning off according to doctor's schedule. Right now I am at 7.5 mg/day (one day) and 10 mg (the next day).
I do not have any pains/sores/aches but am facing a lot of anxiety/nervousness and I keep clenching my jaws. I also sometimes feel nauseated and dizzy. I also feel like crying most of the times.
Is this normal?
If anyone out there knows how to successfully to get off of prednisone please tell me. I have been on this bad drug since 2005. Right now I'm on 17.5mg of it. I was down to 10 mgs but then had trouble breathing so I had to bring the mgs up. Right now the only mgs I feel okay on is the 17.5 when ever I try to go down to 15mgs or anything below I have the trouble breathing. When I was up to 20mgs I have very bad headaches that make me feel like I'm going insane. I really need a good doctor that is going to help me monitor this medicine because sometimes I feel like they put me on this strong medicine and left me to fen for myself not knowing what mgs to be on or anything. Please help me....
I was diagnosed with temporal arteritis june 08 and put
on 60mg of prednisone I was tapering off 5mg a week
and when I was down to 10mg I started having headaches
so back to 25mg and slowly tapered 5mg every 2 weeks until
I was off the drug. After 1 week the headaches returned
with high esr levels so back to 25mg again. I was on this
yoyo drug taking for a year but not getting off the drug.
Now with the tapering 1mg a month I am now down to 3mg
and it is just 2 years. Hopefully as I slowly taper 1mg
a month I will be able to be off this evil yet great drug
this Sept. I have had all the side effects one could get,
but they have all disappeared now with the 1mg tapering.
There is still hope to be prednisone FREE.
It seems the Medical Society has no idea how to guide their patient how to taper off this drugs. If they don't know how to use the druge, they should not be using this drug from the very begining.
Luckyly, I found a Chinese Medicine Dr. in the neigbourhood, who manages to keep me out of the breathing pains and fainting feeling soon followed by my addiction to the devil Prednisone.
my 28 yr old daughter has been steroid dependent for asthma for 14 years. the lowest in years was 20mg daily. We switched to a new pulmonologost, Dr. Stuart Hochron. in five weeks he has her down to 8 mg. Not without side effects though. she is fatigued, nauseous, in pain but she had that before. he said she is the sickest patient he's seen but not lung wise, medicine wise. you shouldnt decrease on your own. He is speaking with an endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic because he said the adrenal glands have been asleep for so many years from the steroids that is like trying to wake the dead. the body could react and you could wind up with Addison's Disease. He monitors her weekly. At the 8mg now she'll be on this dose for three weeks and then he'll taper again.
I have been on Prednisone for 2 years 5 mg a day and would like to get off of it but how? I have rheumatoid artherits and can not take leflunomide, methotrexate, salisa ? I don not want to take Paquenil or those biologic drugs. Is there anything else? I tried herbs, they work but i have to take them 3 -4 times a day.
I am only taking Prednisone now and when I reduce it all the pains of artherits come back and I have to start taking it again. Help!
I have been on prednisone since 2006 for bad Asthma, have tried every since to get off the drug, I seem to be stuck on 15mgs and even on that amount some days I hurt and cant move, have tried to reduce the drug too but every time I do my joints hurt so bad I just want to cry and yes like some of you I just cant breath.Just recently I got a bad flu that was going around and ended up coughing up rusty coloured mucus and my chest felt so bad even to breath hurt, coughing was the worse pain, two courses of strong forte antiobotics and high dose steroids again for a week. I have tried to compensate with seritide puffer, however I seem to take in so much hardly feels like I am reducing anything. I am 48 and feel like a 60 year old. Truly over it and doctors dont seem to help. Just want a doctor to tell me how to get off this demon drug and get my life back. I also am now on bone therapy drugs once a week... seems after reading these posts so many are affected.
My son and I have been following your diet in EAT TO LIVE for quite some time. My son lost a huge amount of weight on this diet and has also been exercising a great deal by running, strength training and cardio exercises.
I was dismayed to find out that my son's doctor told him that tests indicated that he had hypothyroidism. He just went back to be retested and his doctor said the hypothyroidism is much worse, so he prescribed the typical synthetic T4 medication. I did some research on this and found that those who take these meds are forced to take them for life and often have many thyroid symptoms with the medications. Many patients and doctors recommended the natural hormone replacement like Armour with T3 and T4. Causes cited frequently were inadequate iodine levels, eating too many goiter type vegetables, lots of stress, etc.
My son did eliminate table salt and he has been mainly eating the goiter type vegetables on your list in huge amounts RAW though you recommend a focus on leafy green salads and cooking those goiter vegetables like brussel sprouts, etc. Within the past year, he obtained a security job, which requires all night and varying shifts, which I read can be harmful to health and increase stress while decreasing healthy sleep patterns.
I am sick at the thought of my son being forced to be on thyroid meds for life after he has been so successul on your diet in losing lots of weight, lowering cholesterol, etc. I have searched online and especially under "Dr. Fuhrman on hypothyroidism" in a desperate attempt to find the possible causes and NATURAL remedies including those you recommend for this problem to no avail. I did consult the section on autoimmune diseases since I learned that one type of thyroid disease is caused by this, and suggested to my son to follow that gluten free, dairy free diet. I as well as others in my family have suffered lactose and gluten intolerance.
I know you say that the goiter vegetables don't affect thyroid, but do you think the huge amounts my son has eaten raw may have suppressed his iodine levels (he stopped using table salt per your book and we did not realize thyroid problems could result from lack of iodine).
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any natural remedies that could help my son to get back to normal thyroid function so that he will not be forced to take thyroid meds for the rest of his life. Given what I have read, these meds cause as many problems as they claim to solve.
I was disappointed that this topic was not covered in your book, EAT TO LIVE, or on your web site since I have been so thrilled to read about the many diseases that can be avoided or reversed by the healthy diet you recommend.

Online Typists Wanted: P405 per audio hour!
Why are there long lines at the NAIA of Filipinos waiting to leave the Philippines (many permanently)? Why are there so many slums and squatter colonies even near extremely affluent neighborhoods like Ayala Alabang Village? Why are easily treatable diseases like tuberculosis and cholera still killing thousands upon thousands of Filipinos annualy? Why do a majority of Filipinos rate themselves as poor or struggling economically?
There are many well-worn reasons why life is hard ("Mahirap ang Buhay") for many Filipinos, reasons that range from the insulting and racist to more practical and commonsensical ones. We've already heard of the "Juan Tamad" justification used by the Spaniards to denigrate and put down "native" Filipinos. This has always been a suspect justification since the Filipinos could not have been ALL THAT LAZY if they built the hundreds of forts and churches during the Spanish days. Moreover, the Spanish were hypocrites for calling natives lazy in not wanting to do the work that the Spaniards themselves did not want to do. Besides, take most Pinoys out of the Philippines and you see a hardworking person with a residence and a car after a few years as attested to by our immigrants in the US, EU, Canada, Australia, and other countries. It is NOT our nature to be poor.
One key answer lies in our ECONOMIC POLICIES. Some are even encoded in our Constitution. These policies ensure that only a FEW Filipinos reap the benefits of our economy and foreign remittances. MANY of the "hirap ng buhay" we Filipinos feel can be fixed relatively easily through certain changes in our economic policies:
1) Reducing tariffs — This will lower prices and force local producers to be more competitive instead of "hiding under the saya" of anti-competitive and anti-import customs laws. Greater price competition favors the consumers and gives them greater choice while forcing producers to become more efficient and more profitable (if they become more competitive) due to the expanded market.
2) Reduce or eliminate the VAT accompanied by a reduction in inefficient/wasteful/corrupt government departments — Let's face it, many government programs were established supposedly to help "the poor" but actually operate to line the pockets of bureaucrats and politicians. How many "Farm to market" or "hog farm assistance" or "Fertilizer assistance" or "disaster relief" bills and initiatives have you heard? Did the intended beneficiaries become better off? No. It's time to get rid of these and let people SPEND the money they would be otherwise paying for VAT. That's a 12% expansion of the economy. That means more jobs and lower cost of living.
3) Abolish the minimum wage — The minimum wage prices unskilled and less skilled workers out of the labor market while leaving workers susceptible to inflation. Everyone loses. If these laws are abolished, there will be more people employed and price hikes will decrease or prices may even drop. Why? Producers cannot charge more than the market can bear. Also, this allows the Philippines to be more competitive with its Asian neighbors. Statistics show that the rate of unemployment (including underemployment) has gone up since minimum wage laws were passed.
4) Outlaw age discrimination — This practice by employers effectively increases the pool of unemployed in the country and distorts wage scales. It also penalizes those who need jobs the most–more mature workers with families to support. By outlawing this practice, wages will stabilize and employers can benefit from the added experience of more mature workers.
5) Amend or repeal the "economic nationalism" provisions of the 1987 Constitution. These provisions prohibit foreigners from owning more than 40% in communications, transportation, land, and other industries. This effectively starved these key local industries of foreign investments. What's the result? High housing prices, high transport prices, little to no competition, and bad service/products. These industries need more competition. More competition means more companies which means more jobs. It also means higher levels of service, lower prices, and greater selection. In the end, local companies win because more people will buy their industry's products and services due to low prices.
Many of our economic problems are based on economic policies that we, through our government, chose. We just need to choose policies that have proven to be successful in other countries who lifted themselves out of poverty.

Engaged citizens can regain their power. Our government can function honestly. In this critical time for our country, Lakoff argues that it is possible for progressives to reclaim freedom and communicate effectively about its real meaning.
©2006 George Lakoff; (P)2006 Audio Partners Publishing Corp.
Since becoming a mom, I can hardly find time to read. But my commute still creates time for audiobooks!
"Compelling and enlightening"
Wow! I find this a potent and helpful view into the explanation for the different ways of reasoning of today's dominant conservative rhetoric versus classic liberal thought. All this time, I couldn't understand how my Republican associates "didn't get it" and refused to believe some very compelling fact about the ruling party's behavior and justifications. It all makes sense now.
This book is an important read for anyone with progressive passions or ideals. You don't have to be a left-winger to take away its valuable lessons on the American traditions of Freedom. However, those on the far-Christian-right and those fundamentalists of the Invisible Hand will no doubt be discouraged by its tone.
The author creates a fantastic, systematic analysis of conservative vs. progressive thought and maps it into cognitive science. The ideas in this book have rejuvenated my passion toward freedom and given me a solid basis for discussion of progressivism with others. For years, I've secretly challenged the contradictions and paradoxes of the populist Right, as I could never correctly deconstruct it. Now I understand – Freedom is more than markets; it requires rights, free-movement, and unobstructed access for all.
"Another gift from Linguistics at UC Berkeley"
Lakoff is not as anti-american as Noam Chomski but certainly has more in common with Marx than mainstream America. While accusing the radical right of spin, tired socialist philosophy is framed as (self flattering) "progressive". Lakoff over simplifies left-right ideology into nurchuring progressives v.s. "strict father" radical rightists. According to him, all you have to do is reframe freedom in terms like "freedom from want" and people won't mind being forced by law to donate to socialist programs (presumably not a threat taxpayer's freedom). No new ideas here - just a long winded liberal rant sprinkled with a little brain biology pseudo-science. A real "progressive" would have ideas to move freedom forward rather than backward.
