Synopsis: Metoclopramide 1 , 4-amino-5-chlorO'2-methoxy-N-(2-diethyl-aminoethyl) benzamide, is advocated for use in gastro-intestinal diagnostics, and in treating various types of vomiting and a variety of functional and organic gastro-intestinal disorders.
Published data have indicated that metoclopramide assists radiological identification of lesions in the small intestine, facilitates duodenal intubation and small intestine biopsy, and eases emergency endoscopy in upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage. Metoclopramide reduces post-operative vomiting and radiation sickness, and ameliorates some types of drug-induced vomiting. It may provide symptomatic relief in dyspepsia and possibly in vertigo, reflux oesophagitis and hiccups, but further controlled trials are needed to confirm the efficacy of metoclopramide in these proposed areas of use. It promotes gastric emptying prior to anaesthesia. Its effects in healing gastric ulcer and preventing relapse of duodenal ulcer remain unproven.
Side-effects are few and transient, though alarming extrapyramidal reactions can occur in a small proportion of patients receiving therapeutic doses but more usually following excessive doses in young subjects. They respond rapidly to withdrawal of the drug.
Pharmacodynamic studies in man and in a variety of experimental animals have established that metoclopramide, after oral or intravenous administration, rapidly affects the motility of the gastro-intestinal tract. Its effects include improved resting tone of the oesophageal sphincter, improved tone and peristalsis of the stomach with accelerated gastric emptying (but with slowing in some cases), enhanced pyloric activity, distension of the duodenal bulb, and increased peristalsis of the duodenum with accelerated transit through the duodenum and jejunum. It has comparatively little overall effect on colonic motor activity in vivo. The actions of metoclopramide on motility are blocked by atropine and can be reproduced in vitro on animal and human smooth muscle. It is unclear whether the drug is effective in all post-vagotomy patients. Metoclopramide has no effect on gastric secretion, and may sensitise gut muscle to the action of endogenous acetylcholine.
The accelerated gastric emptying usually produced by metoclopramide is reflected in its effects on the absorption of other drugs. Intramuscular metoclopramide promoted the absorption of salicylate from the depressed levels associated with attacks of migraine to those characteristic of normal subjects. Paracetamol absorption was both accelerated and enhanced in normal subjects. Metoclopramide also accelerated absorption of tetracycline and pivampicillin, ethanol, and levodopa, but did not affect that of isoniazid. The absorption of digoxin from slow-release tablets was depressed by multiple doses of metoclopramide given to patients on maintenance digoxin therapy.
Metoclopramide is effective in preventing apomorphine-induced vomiting in man, and appears to be equipotent with prochlorperazine but superior to trimethobenzamide. In animals it is a potent antagonist of vomiting induced by apomorphine, hydergine, reserpine, tetrodotoxin and copper sulphate. Metoclopramide has behavioural properties in animals which suggest that it is a central dopaminergic antagonist, and it may exert its anti-emetic effects by blocking the chemoreceptor trigger zone for vomiting. In cats, spontaneous electrical discharges from this part of the central nervous system were abolished by metoclopramide and stimulated by apomorphine. Other effects of metoclopramide on the central nervous system include typical neuroleptic properties in animals; catalepsy and reversal of the behavioural stereotypies produced by apomorphine or amphetamine. In man, however, metoclopramide is without significant antipsychotic or sedative properties.
Metoclopramide lacks significant cardiovascular effects, and large intravenous doses in patients with heart disease had no marked influence on haemodynamic parameters. Intracardiac conduction is unaffected by metoclopramide, though large doses prevent experimentally-induced cardiac arrhythmias in animals and produce a slight and transient decrease in blood pressure. Metoclopramide has a negligible effect on blood pressure responses in animals to acetylcholine, adrenaline, histamine and noradrenaline but it blocks the hypotensive action of dopamine.
Pharmacokinetic studies of metoclopramide in man are limited, but animal experiments suggest that the drug is well absorbed and rapidly excreted, with a short half-life and only partial metabolism by O-demethylation, N-de-ethylation and amide hydrolysis. Maximum plasma levels occur within 30 to 120 minutes of oral dosage, and human studies indicate that levels of 0.2gmg/ml are achieved following intramuscular doses of 40mg. Plasma half-life in animals is 1 to 2 hours, and metoclopramide is distributed principally to the intestinal mucosa, liver, biliary tract, and salivary glands. Within the central nervous system the drug is localised at the area postrema, which contains the chemoreceptor trigger zone for vomiting. Metoclopramide binds only moderately to human plasma protein and 24% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the first 24 hours following an intramuscular dose of 40mg in human volunteers.
Therapeutic trials under controlled conditions have shown that metoclopramide in intramuscular doses of 10 to 20mg is significantly better than placebo in controlling postoperative vomiting. Metoclopramide was also slightly more effective than prochlorperazine (10mg, im) in one study and significantly superior to perphenazine (5mg, im) in one of two studies but there was no significant difference between metoclopramide (20mg, iv) and trimethobenzamide (300mg, iv). The effects of metoclopramide seem to be independent of either the type of anaesthetic or the premedicant used but for optimum effect may need to be given towards the end of the operation. Controlled trials have demonstrated that 10mg intramuscular metoclopramide is significantly superior to placebo, perphenazine (5mg, im), or prochlorperazine (10mg, im) in preventing vomiting due to pethidine or morphine. The drug was effective in women during labour, in the elderly, and in surgical patients, and it abolished pre-operative vomiting associated with pethidine administration. Clinical experience suggests that daily doses of 30 to 80mg metoclopramide are effective in controlling nausea and vomiting in Parkinsonian patients receiving levodopa, without compromising the therapeutic efficacy of levodopa. However, controlled trials show that the drug has no place in relieving emesis induced by some cytostatic drugs or by iodipamide.
Radiation sickness was ameliorated by daily metoclopramide, which was not significantly different in its effect from prochlorperazine. Metoclopramide was indistinguishable from prochlorperazine and significantly superior to placebo in a controlled trial in the relief of vomiting of pregnancy, without apparent deleterious effects on the fetus. Clinical experience confirms these effects, but like all new drugs metoclopramide should probably not be given to women during the first 3 months of pregnancy since its safety in use has not been established, despite the lack of dysmorphogenic effects in animals. Limited controlled trials show that metoclopramide may be useful in providing symptomatic relief, particularly from nausea and vomiting, in patients with a variety of disorders. Further controlled trials in large groups of selected patients are needed to confirm these effects.
Results of a controlled study indicate that metoclopramide may be effective in treating nausea and vomiting of vertigo and certain associated disorders, but it appears to have no place in the treatment of seasickness. Migraine may respond to the drug, but in the studies to date patients have continued to take their usual analgesic medication, the absorption of which is promoted by metoclopramide. The lack of sufficient controlled trials, however, leaves the role of metoclopramide in these disorders uncertain.
Dyspepsia responds to metoclopramide, which was significantly superior to placebo or the anticholinergic drug pipenzolate in controlled trials. Metoclopramide was more effective in controlling nausea, vomiting, epigastric burning, heartburn, and regurgitation of sour fluid than the flatulent symptoms of belching, bloating, and abdominal distension. Nevertheless, there is still some debate as to whether metoclopramide is effective in preventing gastro-oesophageal reflux. Metoclopramide may be useful in treating hiccup.
Limited controlled trials suggest that metoclopramide provides symptomatic relief and may accelerate the healing of gastric ulcer and prevent relapse of duodenal ulcer, but its role remains unproven. Some functional gastro-intestinal disorders appear to respond to metoclopramide. In controlled trials, it was significantly more effective than carbachol or placebo in relieving post-vagotomy gastric stasis, superior to placebo in alleviating gastritis and gastroptosis, and as effective as isopropamide plus haloperidol against irritable colon and spastic constipation. It has been used successfully in the conservative management of complete pyloric obstruction due to duodenal ulcer, in order to avoid emergency surgery but it probably should not be used in pyloric stenosis due to carcinoma or severe fibrosis.
The dual action of metoclopramide in preventing emesis and accelerating gastric emptying, has established its use in anaesthetic practice. It is especially useful in emergency anaesthesia, including during labour, when rapid clearance of gastric contents is required.
Diagnostic uses: In diagnostic radiology or cineradiology, metoclopramide given before barium meal provides excellent conditions for the diagnosis of lesions in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and prevents vomiting of barium in nauseated patients such as those with jaundice. It significantly increases the rate of gastric emptying and reduces the transit time for barium to reach the caecum. Controlled trials have shown that small intestine examinations are complete within 1 hour in over 80% of metoclopramide-treated patients compared with in less than 20% of untreated patients. Both oral and intravenous metoclopramide were superior to placebo in speeding gastric emptying and reducing the number of films needed for complete visualisation of the small intestine, but in one study oral metoclopramide gave an increased number of radiographically poor examinations.
Metoclopramide is useful in facilitating duodenal intubation ad permitting rapid and successful biopsy of the small intestine, in the absence of significant side-effects. It speeds the passage of biopsy capsules across the pylorus, and was significantly superior to both placebo and pharyngeal anaesthesia in controlled trials. In patients with functional pyloric stenosis, metoclopramide facilitated endoscopic observation of the duodenal bulb.
Emergency endoscopy of upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage is facilitated by the administration of metoclopramide, which clears the viewing area of blood. However, it is possible that the increased stomach activity may in itself cause further haemorrhage.
Side-effects with metoclopramide are usually mild, transient, and readily reversed by withdrawal of drug. A review of one published trial suggests that they occur in about 11% of patients, but the incidence may be different in clinical practice. They consist principally of drowsiness and lassitude, bowel disturbances, and dizziness and faintness. Metoclopramide may increase lactation by stimulating the release of prolactin.
Extrapyramidal effects are alarming but uncommon (in about 1% of patients). They consist of dystonic reactions such as trismus, torticollis, facial spasms, opisthotonos, and oculogyric crises, but Parkinsonian-like symptoms are absent. Metoclopramide-induced dystonia occurs more often in females and in the young patient; when it occurs it is usually following excessive doses, but may also occur at normal therapeutic dosage, and resembles in many respects the dyskinesias induced by the phenothiazines. It responds readily to withdrawal of drug, but severe cases may benefit from intramuscular benztropin or diazepam. Children are particularly susceptible, but restriction of the daily dose to 0.5mg/kg usually prevents overdosage in young patients. Signs of overdosage in children usually include extreme irritability and agitation, with muscle hypertonia. Two adult cases of attempted suicide with 360 and 800mg metoclopramide recovered uneventfully following gastric lavage and observation; somnolence and disorientation were reported, but there were no extrapyramidal signs.
Contra-indications and precautions: Metoclopramide should neither be given with, or within 2 weeks of treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or sympathomimetic drugs, nor to women in the first 3 months of pregnancy, as the safety of use of such associations has not been established. It may potentiate the central action of some antipyschotic drugs, and its own action on the gastro-intestinal tract may be potentiated by acetylcholine-like drugs and blocked by atropine-like agents. It should not be given with phenothiazines.
The ability of metoclopramide to provide symptomatic relief in gastro-intestinal disorders does not replace proper investigation and diagnosis of the patient's symptoms. Metoclopramide should not be given to patients with epilepsy or extrapyramidal syndromes, though it may be safely used in Parkinsonian patients to control vomiting. The dosage for children should be carefully adjusted from initially low levels. Increasing the adult dosage beyond the recommended level does not normally lead to a corresponding enhancement of therapeutic effects.
Dosage: Metoclopramide is given before or just after meals, or 20 minutes before symptoms are likely to occur, in oral, intramuscular, or intravenous doses of 10mg, up to 3 times daily, in adults, and 5 to 10mg 2 to 3 times daily in young adults. Children under 14 should receive 1 to 5mg, 2 to 3 times daily, according to age and body weight. The total daily dose in children and young adults should not exceed 0.5mg/kg.
For diagnostic purposes, the adult dose is 20mg orally, 20 minutes before examination, or 10 to 20mg by injection 5 minutes before examination. Children receive, according to age and body weight, 1 to 5mg, 5 to 10 minutes before examination.

Sitamarhi, Sep 18 (UNI) In yet another case of lynching, a youth was beaten to death by irate villagers on charges of theft at Patahi village in Sitamarhi district yesterday.
Police today said a group of about a dozen local goons, all residents of the same village, charged Rakesh, the victim, with stealing an idol from a local temple and ransacked his house before beating him up. The youth died on the spot.
Later, the villagers dumped the body on one side of the main road from where it was recovered today.
Incidentally, police said village Sarpanch Premchand Singh had earlier claimed to have found out the name of Rakesh by performing 'Shagun' and held him responsible for the theft in the temple. On the basis of the inference drawn by the Sarpanch the villagers lynched him.
Five people, including the Sarpanch, were later arrested and altogether 12 people named as accused in the FIR at Bairganiya police station.
Police Superintendent M R Nayak said the deceased, a daily wage earner, had no criminal antecedents and investigation was still on to find out whether the idol was actually stolen from the temple.
Meanwhile, additional police force, including SAP and CRPF personnel, were deployed in the village where the situation was now stated to be under control.

I'll always be just one man
But I don't need you to help me be seen.
I can sing her to sleep myself;
And I can treat her just like a queen.
Just another passerby,
A heart that wants to be gold
I try my very best for her
Love just seems to sing and unfold.
A dream upon a dream
In a desperate luckless field,
I can carve these words into my heart
And I shall never yield.
With eyes of green, and a piercing smile;
A demeanour bringing forth tears
A comfort stands with open arms
And frowns become my fears
Not without imperfection,
When her intensity rolls me along
Those moments at 2am when I smile;
These reasons I wrote you a song.
I feel that I'm just a man,
So just a man I shall then be
But she makes the stars crash down in shame,
And that's all I wanted to see.
All I intended are those perfect moments,
Summer breeze with sweetness in arms.
A heart entrusted to my bleeding hands
In return, I can feel your charms
Skip and smile tonight darling,
New incredulousness, brush my eyes
A kiss for these moments here, my love
These minutes fall like flies
Surpass these expectations
A free soul, we become unbound
We could sing tonight, for us,
The city just begs for the sound
The words won't sit on the tip of my tongue,
Unafraid to pour out my heart
Despite the thousands surrounding us
They can pick up the words I impart
It seems that I can forever drown in you
But these minutes are marching in time,
So I just keep on turning clock hands,
For is missing you such a crime?

Where Angels Come to Play
The Old Woman, the Willow Woman, pulled the sprig of small white flowers from her hair, then began her story. "Young pilgrim, there are some mornings, especially those misty mornings, when the clouds seem to have come upon the earth at sometime in the middle of night, and then are caught lingering too long by the first light of the new day's dawn, that I go and gather my Angel Lace." As she slowed to make sure that my soul was coming with her on her story, she delicately and ever so slowly spun the flowers before my eyes.
She waited a moment, a moment in which she took the time to grace my eyes with ever so gently created smile. She then went on.
"You see, there are some nights when angels come down to play upon the earth, they dance to music of the nightingales and in the starlight as it falls upon the open meadows. They dance in ever spinning circles, round and round, bringing the tears of earth upward into heaven and the laughter of heaven down upon the earth. Their dance is so joyful that when it comes time for the angels to return to their heavenly places, the earth reaches up to keep them here. But the angels, they must return, but the earth snatches a bit of lace from their lacy robes."
"And that is why it is called Angel Lace."
"Indeed." The Willow Woman then took my hand, first kissed its palm, then ever so lightly rubbed its back across her cheek. She took the bit of Angel Lace and folded my fingers around it, leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You've danced with the angels, haven't you?"
Without giving it much thought I nodded, "Yes."
She confirmed my answer with her eyes. They smiled and then misted up and then they closed in a quiet look of thankful peace.
She held my hand as we returned to the world about us.
"How is the honey tea, my gentleman callers. Is it to your liking?"
My grandfather was the first to answer, "It is exquisite, dear lady. Just exquisite, much like the honey tea my dear departed wife used to make on winter days like this."
"I am so glad you like it. And my Friar of the Forest?"
The Padre gave a smile, almost a chuckle at her name for him, "As always, Miss Willow, it is as perfect as perfect can be."
He then decided to turn the course of the conversation, "Is it true that the War has finally ended?"
"Yes, that is what I hear on the Wind, the war has fought itself out. They have all gone home and I do sense that this time, they have gone home forever."
Both Willow and the Padre looked within themselves for a time, as if they were both gazing upon some old photographs being turned within their souls.
There was an air of unspoken reverence in that moment. While the two old friends remembered, grandfather and I honored the silence, allowing it to find its own amen.

Program 1
Biomedical research
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a non-profit medical research organization that ranks as one of the nation's largest philanthropies, plays a powerful role in advancing biomedical research and science education in the U.S. HHMI was established in 1953 by the aviator-industrialist for which it is named. The Institute is headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland. HHMI's flagship program in biomedical research rests on the conviction that scientists of exceptional talent, commitment, and imagination will make fundamental biological discoveries for the betterment of human health if they receive the resources, time, and freedom to pursue challenging questions. The Institute's 291 investigators are selected through rigorous national competitions and conduct research in Hughes laboratories at 64 distinguished U.S. universities, research institutes, medical schools, and affiliated hospitals. They include 12 Nobel Prize Winners and 122 members of the National Academy of Sciences. Opened in 2006, the Janelia Farm Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, further extends HHMI's commitment to research and discovery. Janelia Farm focuses on two primary research areas: the identification of general principles that govern how information is processed by neuronal circuits and development of imaging technologies and computational methods for image analysis. It will be fully operational in 2009. HHMI's complementary grants program emphasizes initiatives with the power to transform graduate and undergraduate education in the life sciences; expand opportunities for careers in science for individuals from groups that are underrepresented in the sciences, and to encourage an interest in science among students of all ages. HHMI operates under its original charter: "The primary purposes and objective of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute shall be the promotion of human knowledge within the field of the basic sciences (principally the field of medical research and education) and the effective application thereof for the benefit of mankind." As a medical research organization engaged in the direct conduct of research, HHMI does not award research grants to U.S. scientists. Instead, the scientists selected through periodic national competitions join HHMI as employees and work in Hughes laboratories around the nation. HHMI scientists " around the nation and at Janelia Farm " use the tools of modern molecular biology and insights gained from disciplines such as physics and engineering to better understand basic biological processes. They have made fundamental discoveries that have reshaped the understanding and treatment of cancer and other human diseases, including heart disease and diabetes.
Program long term success
HHMI scientists made numerous significant research discoveries during the past year. Detailed information about that work can be found on www.hhmi.org. The Institute disbursed $86 million in support of 577 grantees through Grants and Special Programs and announced $22.5 million in new grants to biomedical research organizations in support of educational outreach programs. Key honors for the year included: Craig C. Mello, an HHMI investigator at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, shared the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Andrew C. Fire, a scientist at the Stanford University School of Medicine. They were honored for discovering RNA-interference ? gene silencing by double-stranded RNA.

Wealth, Presidents, and Being 'Out of Touch'
Although his father was the first candidate to release their tax returns, the impetus for Massachussetts governor Mitt Romney making his financial life public — and the rallying cry of Gingrich-boosting Super PACs — is the assertion that Romney is too rich and therefore too out of touch to be president. Throughout the decades, Americans have elected very wealthy men to the White House without any fanfare. Yet with record rates of unemployment that many are experiencing over a period of years, the issue of class in the U.S. has gained a new significance.
William Barrett is senior editor at Forbes and has written extensively about the bank accounts of the American presidents.
Pamela Haag went from being middle class to extremely wealthy six years ago after her husband struck it big in commodities, and has very distinct opinions about class in America.

SEC Seeks to Shore Up Advisor Custody Rule
Investment Advisor Group Calls Some Proposals Unfair
September 7, 2009
Regulators are looking for ways to increase accounting safeguards for investment advisors who have custody of client assets, but an investment advisor's group says some of the proposed changes are too broad and go too far.
Proposed amendments to Rule 206(4)-2, requiring all investment advisors that control or have custody of client assets to hire an independent public accountant to conduct an annual "surprise" examination of their books, would place an unnecessary burden on small advisory firms, according to the Washington-based Investment Adviser Association.
"The surprise audit requirement would apply to all advisors considered to have custody under the rule, whether or not they serve as qualified custodians that actually hold client assets," said Valerie Baruch, the IAA's assistant general counsel, in a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The best way to make sure an advisor is actually doing what they say is to have an independent third party check their books, according to the SEC. Baruch agrees that getting independent verification of account information is critical, but if an advisor already uses an independent custodian, such a requirement would be redundant and unnecessary, she said. "We do not believe such a requirement is warranted when client assets are held by independent third-party custodians," she said.
Baruch said the proposed requirements make sense for checking up on advisors like Bernard Madoff who have self custody and hold client assets directly. Madoff is perhaps the best example of why the rules should be changed, she said.
Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison in June after pleading guilty to perpetrating a massive Ponzi scheme that victimized thousands of investors. He was able to slip past the SEC for nearly two decades partly due to his stellar reputation, penchant for secrecy and his creative knack for keeping anyone from doing a thorough audit of his books and records.
Like a character from a Dostoyevsky novel, Madoff kept expecting to get caught, and wanted law enforcement officials to catch him before he gave up. Ultimately, the financial crisis forced Madoff's hand, and he turned himself in.
Clearly, if the SEC is to prevent another Madoff, far more intense vigilance is needed, rather than a mere change to the custody rule.
The Commission staff bungled numerous investigations into Madoff's activities over the years, repeatedly failed to act on tips and red flags they uncovered and accepted Madoff's explanations for account inconsistencies, even when his answers seem evasive or contradictory, according to a report issued last week by the SEC's Office of Inspector General. On several occasions, SEC investigators drafted letters that would seek independent, third-party verification of Madoff's operations, but the letters were never sent due to the amount of paperwork such a request would entail.
Inspector General H. David Kotz found that Madoff took advantage of the SEC's inexperience and ineptitude to promote his fund, telling investors that the SEC had examined his records and found no evidence of fraud.
"The fact the SEC had conducted examinations and investigations and did not detect the fraud lent credibility to Madoff's operations and had the effect of encouraging additional individuals and entities to invest with him," the report said.
Madoff hired the tiny auditing firm Friehling & Horowitz to look over his incredibly complicated and secretive records. Even though the firm signed Madoff's audit reports for nearly 17 years, it did not register with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, did not participate in the required peer review by other accountants and told the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants that it didn't conduct audits.
In 2006, Madoff told investigators all his trades could be verified by checking his account at the Depository Trust Company (now the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp.) and even provided investigators with his account number, the report said. During his trial this year, Madoff said he was astonished that the SEC never called his bluff and checked with DTCC.
"A simple inquiry to one of several third parties could have immediately revealed the fact that Madoff was not trading in the volume he was claiming," the Inspector General's report said.
An annual surprise examination performed by an independent public accountant who is registered with and subject to regular inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board could provide another set of eyes on clients' assets and offer additional protection against the theft and misuse of funds, the SEC said. Following the examination, the accountant would be required to file Form ADV-E and an examination certificate to the SEC within 120 days.
Baruch said she is concerned the requirements apply too broadly to all related persons of advisors, regardless of the relationship between the advisor and its affiliated entity.

I am actually going through this a second time with my younger son. We use this as our history for our homeschool. I've learned more going through all 4 parts of this series than I ever did before in all my years of history. It starts at the beginning. It's not based on the theory of evolution. She also recommends several supplemental books to use with each chapter to get additional material. Not to mention other books to read, maps, and activities to reinforce what's taught! It's a fantastic series for any homeschool!!
I now have the entire series for my 9 year old son and he has "devoured" each and every one. I started off reading a chapter a day but he wanted far more and begged to read on his own. A wonderful way to learn history and my friends are excited to find these books an informative, historical and interesting/educational source also.
I've been reading "The Story of the World" to my 6-year-old for the past several weeks. While the book is comprehensive in its' overall time line, we've been picking and choosing stories based on what interests us on a given day. Last night we chose three stories summarizing the life and exploits of Alexander the Great. Last week we read about the adventures of Odysseus. Before that, it was the Remus and Romulus myth surrounding the beginnings of Rome. And don't forget the appropriately detailed overview of the lives of gladiators. I think next up will be Early America civilizations... Each chapter is short and focused, and written well for K-3rd grade. The chapters are written as stories or narratives which make the learning perfectly consumable by the target age ranges. Not only have I found my son making real world connections and references to items we've read in the book, but I've also learned a few new things myself. This is highly recommended.
This book is well done, the sections are short and very interesting. My kids, 9 and 7, like the stories and listen intently. Makes learning history more fun!
We've been reading from this text nightly. The chapters are short, the verbiage is geared towards younger children, etc. We are enjoying the book and my 5 yr old really gets it, asking questions, and even using sentences like 'that's like the euphrates river we read about.'.
It presents history as a story. It contains 42 chapter of less than 7 pages. it can be read independently by a 4th grader or used as a read aloud history book for 1st through 3rd grade. we will definately be getting the activity guide when it becomes available
The book is well written but some of the facts aren't quite factual. And some stories are HIGHLY oversimplified. My son is reading this book in history and he finds it easy to read and understand but his teacher has to keep altering facts to make them true. STOP USING REVIEW PAGES AS CHAT CITES THEY ARE NOT!!!!!
Well, Ima good. So tempted to make stereotyped homeschool jokes and shaz. XD I always find those funny.
Hey so what are we going to do? XD

That night we did what any smart person would do--eat. Gosh I love eating. It happened to be my dad's birthday so celebrate we did. The night ended over coffee and conversation about death. What? You don't celebrate birthdays by talking about such morbid subjects?
The following day my parents thought it would be fun for them to ride 40 miles on a bike. I thought it would be more fun to lay on the beach and drink margaritas. Apparently I'm the only one with brains in the family.
That night we decided to go ride turtles.

WASHINGTON The head of the Senate education committee said Wednesday that he would pursue "tight legislation" to fix what he called systemic problems in the for-profit higher education industry.
Those problems, brought to light in video and audio clips from an undercover federal investigation, were detailed at a hearing Wednesday.
COLLEGE BLOG: Details on for-profit colleges, GAO report
EDUCATION DEPT.: Plan would crack down on for-profit colleges
Problems with for-profits include sketchy accreditation standards, deceptive recruitment tactics and outright lying. In some video clips, campus officials were shown suggesting that prospective applicants lie on federal financial aid forms to qualify for more aid.
"The evidence points to a problem that is systemic to the for-profit industry: a recruitment process specifically designed to drive up enrollment numbers, more often than not to the disadvantage of students" and taxpayers, said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, committee chair. Harkin said he would request documents, such as job placement and graduation rates and program costs, from 30 for-profit schools beginning today to "help us form a fuller picture than we have at this time." More hearings will be held this fall, he said.
Schools cited in the report, which was prepared by the Government Accountability Office, include branches of Phoenix-based Apollo Group Inc.'s University of Phoenix and the Washington Post Co.'s Kaplan College. Kaplan Inc. said in a statement that it had suspended enrollment at its campus in Pembroke Pines, Fla., and was investigating it and a campus in Riverside, Calif.
Apollo Group spokesman Manny Rivera said his company has "initiated an immediate internal investigation."
In testimony Wednesday, Michale McComis, head of an accrediting group for for-profit schools, said his agency wants to investigate findings.
But Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., after prodding McComis for examples of rigorous standards, countered, "Is there any evidence you can provide me that your industry has any interest in self-policing?"
Gregory Kutz, who led the investigation by the Government Accountability Office, told lawmakers he shared details about individual schools with the Education Department's inspector general. He said he thinks the problem is widespread. "There need to be consequences for bad actors," he said.
Earlier this summer, the Education Department proposed tightening federal oversight of the fast-growing industry, including removing some provisions added in 2002 under President Bush that eased restrictions on for-profit colleges.
Harkin said federal laws would have a more permanent effect. "This just cries out for something to be done legislatively," he said.
Some lawmakers called for an expanded exploration to include practices of traditional non-profit public and private colleges.
"The for-profit sector should not be examined in a vacuum," said Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.

Group Buying Websites – 2013 Ratings
Posted by Canstar Blue May 30th 2013
You are viewing the archived 2013 award for group buying websites. Go to the current group buying website ratings.
^ As of 1 March 2013 Spreets no longer offer Spreets deals, instead they are an aggregator of deals from other websites. At the time of release, some Spreets vouchers will still be within their validity period and the results reported are from those people who had purchased Spreets branded deals.
Returning in droves: One in two group buying customers become regulars
Businesses enlisting the assistance of group buying websites to sell their wares convert a significant number of buyers into regular customers, according to the results of our survey on Group Buying Websites. Nearly half (46%) of our respondents have purchased a voucher from a group buying website and since become a regular client of their provider.
While fans of Group Buying Websites recognise that value is there for the taking, the number of customers who neglected to redeem their voucher has increased in the past year from 27% to 37%. The demographic most likely not to do so were younger respondents: more Generation X and Y respondents (47% and 46% respectively) did not redeem their vouchers than Baby Boomers (27%).
Whether they used these offers or not, nearly two thirds of respondents told us they loved getting emails and newsletters from their group buying website – agreeing that "It's like browsing the junk mail from the comfort of my inbox."
Cudo charm customers for the second year in a row
Eighty percent of respondents considered a group buying voucher they purchased to be 'exceptional value', and even more (90%) would buy from a group buying website again. With an increasing number of Group Buying Websites popping up, the question becomes, which group buying service is most deserving of these return visits?
Cudo has once again achieved our Most Satisfied Customers Award – Group Buying Websites – winning two years in a row in this category.
With five star ratings in all but one rated criterion, Cudo was the clear victor in this year's awards. Also rated were Living Social, Scoopon, Spreets, Our Deal and Groupon.
Living Social emerged at the top of the list in two key areas: receiving five stars for the quality of its goods / services on offer, and for value for money. Groupon also achieved a five star rating for value for money.
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton to regularly survey 2,500 Australian consumers across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have visited and purchased from a group buying website in the last three months – in this case, 856 people.Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10.
Overall customer satisfaction
Award-winner Cudo scored five stars for overall customer satisfaction, edging out the rest of the competition in this category. Living Social, Scoopon, Spreets and Our Deal were all next with four star ratings, and Groupon followed with three.
Value for money
Customers of both Living Social and Scoopon were most satisfied with the value received from their group buying website. Following with four stars were Cudo and Our Deal; then three star recipients Spreets and Groupon.
Quality of goods / services offered
It's great to have a taste of the high life, which is what many of these online deals offer: high-quality services at one-off, reduced prices. Both Cudo and Living Social received five star ratings for the quality of the goods and services available on their websites. They were followed by Scoopon, Spreets and Our Deal with four stars. Groupon achieved a three star rating for quality of goods.
Ability to use coupons
Cudo customers were most satisfied they had ample opportunity to use their coupons at a convenient time. Next with four stars were Living Social, Scoopon, Spreets and Our Deal; then Groupon with three.
Relevance of goods / services offered
What's on special today? Package deals on a holiday adventure? A cooking class? Maybe a great pair of shoes? Whatever you're after, having a relevant selection of offers is important to your online shopping experience. Cudo achieved five stars for the relevance of goods and services available to its customers. Next were four star recipients Living Social, Scoopon and Spreets; then three star achievers Our Deal and Groupon.
Ease of site navigation
Is it an easy process to navigate around the group buying website and find an offer that piques your interest? Most satisfied in this regard were customers of Cudo, earning the brand five stars. Living Social and Scoopon all received four star ratings; Spreets, Our Deal and Groupon achieved three.
Customer service from the coupon provider
Cudo achieved five stars for its group buying website customer service; followed by four star recipients Living Social, Scoopon, Spreets and Our Deal, and then Groupon with three.

WHETHER wooing Pat Riley away from the Knicks to coach the Miami Heat, the basketball team controlled by his family, or building the largest and most profitable cruise company from scratch, Micky Arison, chief executive of the Carnival Corporation, is accustomed to getting what he wants.
But Mr. Arison, 52, faces the chance that a rival will best him for control of P & O Princess Cruises of Britain. Owner of the Pacific Princess used on the ''Love Boat'' TV show, P & O is a coveted brand and one of the last major acquisition candidates in a consolidating industry.
To the surprise of Mr. Arison, who for years had courted the company, P & O Princess announced on Nov. 20 a $2.9 billion merger with Royal Caribbean Cruises of Miami. Carnival, also of Miami, countered with a $4.6 billion offer, which P & O rebuffed.
The contest has turned personal. Mr. Arison has been accused by P & O Princess and Royal Caribbean executives of trying to spoil their deal without intending to proceed with his offer. Mr. Arison denies it.Continue reading the main story
He is taking his case to P & O Princess shareholders before they vote on Feb. 14 on whether to accept the Royal Caribbean merger. Carnival offers the lure of cash along with some stock in one of the industry's best-run companies. A merger with Royal Caribbean would be structured so both companies kept their separate stock market listings in New York and London, which shareholders might prefer. Either deal could face regulatory hurdles.
Consolidation took on fresh urgency after Sept. 11, as travelers stayed home. P & O Princess lost 8,000 bookings in the two weeks after the attacks. To fill ships, cruise companies have sharply lowered prices. Compounding the problem is a glut of new ships ordered in the boom years.
Some smaller lines have been devastated. Renaissance Cruises and American Classic Voyages have sought bankruptcy protection. Larger lines are making much less money. Carnival earned $116.3 million in the quarter ended Nov. 30, down 40 percent from a year earlier. Revenue fell 36 percent to $959 million.
Against such uncertainty, size is important. A P & O Princess merger with Royal Caribbean would create a company with 75,000 berths, more than Carnival's 61,000.
As Mr. Arison sat in the offices of his London bankers recently, he did not mask frustration at how Royal Caribbean had seemed to gain the advantage. ''I have nobody to blame but myself,'' he said.
Mr. Arison grew up on cruise ships. As a teenager, he ran bingo games at Norwegian Caribbean Lines, founded by his father, Ted. After his father launched Carnival in 1972, Mr. Arison rose from sales and marketing to president in seven years. He was 30.
He met his wife, Madeleine, while she was working for a shipping company his father owned. They have two children, who are now in college.
An avid basketball fan, Mr. Arison rarely misses a Miami Heat game, whether from his courtside seat at American Airlines Arena or, during business trips, settling himself in front of the hotel television. He takes victories and losses to heart. That competitive spirit surfaces, too, in the boardroom, where he is known as a razor-sharp negotiator.
''It's a little intimidating to be across the table from him,'' said Leonard Fluxman, president of Steiner Leisure, which runs the spas aboard Carnival ships.
Under Mr. Arison, Carnival has prospered by combining thriftiness with the revolutionary idea of bringing cruises to the masses. Acquisitions added Holland America, Cunard and the Yachts of Seabourn, allowing the company to span the market -- from three-day Carnival cruises at $249 to Cunard world cruises at $299,000.
Last year, Carnival earned $926.2 million on revenue of $4.45 billion. It has a market capitalization of $16 billion, dwarfing competitors and making the Arisons, who own 47 percent percent, billionaires.
That control has allowed Mr. Arison to run Carnival pretty much as a private company. Of 14 board members, 9 are relatives, Carnival executives or executives who do business with the company. He also serves on the committee that sets his pay.
As long as profits steam ahead, shareholders do not seem to mind. ''His ownership stake means he is on the same plane as us,'' said Timothy Fidler, vice president for research at Ariel Capital Management, a Carnival investor.
Part of Carnival's profitability comes from Mr. Arison's frugal ways. In one example, he wanted to give guests amenity baskets but did not want to pay for the products in them, so he persuaded consumer product companies to foot the bill. He also likes to pack ships full, which irks some passengers. ''It was so crowded, you had to wait in line for everything,'' said Diane Lore, 52, an accountant, who took a cruise from Cape Canaveral, Fla., to Nassau.
Sometimes Mr. Arison's frugality has backfired. When Carnival installed cash bars on upscale Seabourn ships, for example, customers complained. It has since replaced management, and the Champagne flows freely.
Mr. Arison's expansion ambitions have not always gone well. An investment in the 876-room Crystal Palace hotel in the Bahamas was scrapped at a cost of millions to Carnival. And a joint venture with Hyundai to develop the Asian cruise market was quickly dissolved because Carnival was ill-equipped to offer the floating casinos Asian customers wanted.
But no one questions the strategic sense of tying up with P & O Princess. Mr. Arison first offered to buy it when it was part of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, then offered to buy the parent company. Lord Sterling of Plaistow, chairman of Peninsular and Oriental, rejected his overtures. When the cruise operations were spun off 18 months ago, Mr. Arison continued to broach the subject casually with Peter Ratcliffe, the chief executive of P & O Princess, who also said no.
Rattled by the Sept. 11 attacks, Howard S. Frank, Carnival's chief operating officer, called Mr. Ratcliffe Sept. 24 and suggested they cooperate. Mr. Ratcliffe said he did not take the suggestion seriously. By then, P & O Princess was negotiating with Royal Caribbean.
When the merger was announced, Mr. Arison said, ''we were absolutely floored.'' He was even more disturbed by a clause in the merger contract requiring either party to pay the other $262 million as a break-up penalty. He is convinced that the payment, which is more than the standard amount, was intended to discourage him from making a bid.
Although Mr. Ratcliffe and Richard D. Fain, Royal Caribbean's chief, question Mr. Arison's sincerity in wanting a P & O Princess deal, Mr. Arison says his past courtship proves his interest.
''I don't mind if the decision goes against us,'' he said. ''All I want is a fair hearing from P & O Princess shareholders. I never got one from the P & O board.''Continue reading the main story
