Greta Van Susteren Taken In By Bad Andrew Malcolm Headline
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
A bit of advice for Fox News host Greta Van Susteren: Don't take your cues from the L.A. Times' serially inaccurate Andrew Malcolm. Writing on her blog, Van Susteren took White House press secretary Jay Carney to task for supposedly speaking out of turn:
Below is a headline from the LA Times and it is a bit weird...I sure hope President Obama's Press Secretary doesn't think HE is the President. He is just the messenger of the Administration. No President of any country should be getting a stern warning (or any warning) from the Press Secretary. The messages should be FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Susteren then linked to this post from Andrew Malcolm headlined "Yemen president gets a stern warning from Obama press secretary." This, like pretty much everything Malcolm writes, is a stretch. The actual press release, seen here, is a standard-issue statement from the White House titled "Statement by the Press Secretary on Violence in Yemen."
You can see many other press releases phrased this way here, and in case you thought this phrasing was an invention of the Obama administration -- you'd be wrong. Or you would be Greta Van Susteren.

Prince Hates Madonna, Maroon 5, Old People and Note-Taking, But Loves Black Female Lawyers
You already knew Prince was kind of an adorable weirdo, but specific oddities about the Purple One popped up in a recent Billboard interview that will either leave you scratching your head, wanting to high five him, rolling your eyes -- or any combination thereof.
The TLDR version: Prince hates Madonna, old people, cover songs and when reporters take notes or record things. But he totally loves his all-black, all-female legal team. So there's that.

MADISON - With his flight delayed more than four hours, Chattanooga (TN) Baylor kicker Rafael Gaglianone didn't arrive for his first visit at the University of Wisconsin until well after the Badgers throttled Indiana.
He'll be seeing plenty of the school over the next four or five years.
Getting a chance to see the facilities and meet the coaches, Gaglianone was so impressed with the program that he didn't wait long to commit after the coaching staff extended him a scholarship.
"It's definitely a big time opportunity and I couldn't be more thankful for that," Gaglianone said. "It's a big time program with top notch facilities. I am really glad they gave me a chance."
Gaglianone is the 20th verbal commitment in Wisconsin's 2014 recruiting class. He held a scholarship offer from North Carolina State, but said he was receiving interest from a number of BCS schools, including Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
"I was just coming to check out the place, but I was really hoping for an official (from Wisconsin)," said Gaglianone. "It's one of those things you always hope for, but you never know if it's going to be there. I am really glad it was out there waiting for me."
Gaglianone said Wisconsin tight end coach Jeff Genyk has been recruiting him for roughly two months. It was announced a month ago that junior kicker Kyle French wouldn't be returning for his senior season.
"He's a really nice guy," Gaglianone said of Genyk. "He understands a lot about kicking and whenever a kicker misses, he tries to work with the kicker on fixing the problem instead of just brushing it off. He understands every part of the game. We definitely have a great relationship, and I am exciting to get to work with him the next couple years."
Born and raised in Brazil, Gaglianone moved to the United States three years ago to play soccer and try and get an opportunity to go to college. That changed during the middle of his sophomore year when he decided to try his hand at kicking for the school's football team.
"I just went with it," said Gaglianone. "My first day I made a 50-yarder. It was just one of those things went all went well. Over the last two years I had to change completely my technique and adjust to kicking with and without a tee to get to the point where I could be good."
Having spent time working with kicking guru Chris Sailer, Gaglianone said he went 10-for-14 his senior season, kicking a 57-yard field, making multiple field goals over 40 yards and narrowly missed a 60-yard attempt.
"Since I was born I've been kicking a soccer ball, especially being born and raised in Brazil. Having that background has definitely helped me with my swing, but I had to work a lot on my technique change, which gave me the opportunity to come to Wisconsin."
Gaglianone is hoping to come in next season to compete for kick offs and field goals with sophomore kicker Jack Russell, who has made his last five attempts after going a season-and-a-half without a make.
"I don't take any position for granted, but they want me to come in and compete for kickoffs, field goals and just see how it works out," said Gaglianone. "I am really looking forward to it. It's going to be a great competition. We have some great field goal kickers there now. Hopefully it will be a good competition."

5x8" sketch moleskine, work in process, watercolor, slicci pen
I thought I'd share this one in progress - it's going to take some time to finish as it's one of my my projects for those pockets of time where I am "waiting" for someone or something. It resides in the moleskine in my purse with a bunch of pens.
Here's what I do. I work on a bunch of stuff at once. I don't even think about what's in progress, because it doesn't matter. I tend to hop around even within mediums. At this moment I have the following stuff in progress. And this is only what I can remember: a painting going on in the kitchen, several moleskines {always moleskines}, an 18" wide cityscape, fabric cut up for art quilting, a doodle acrylic painting, several 24x36" canvases, lots of smaller canvases, the noticing journal {altered book}, the Daisy Yellow Zine #6... ad inifinitim. That's what works for me. I think it's one of the reasons I don't run out of ideas.
It's like exercise. You can workout 30 minutes in the morning and 25 minutes at night and it still counts as 55 minutes, right? So a whole bunch of time spent on 14 art projects is still a whole bunch of time spent doing art. So hop around, have fun with it. You will finish stuff as you go. You might even find that ideas from one medium inform another!

The complete scientific article published by American Academy of Environmental Medicine on 12 April 2012 can be read by clicking here.
The report takes a strong stand that society must acknowledge the biological effects of electromagnetic fields, educate the population about the risks from wireless technologies, and develop safer technologies. The group, AAEM, is an international association of physicians and professionals that has been dedicated to expanding the knowledge of human health in relationship to the environment since 1965. They have been first to recognize many conditions, including Gulf War Syndrome, chemical sensitivity and the role of mold in the development of systemic illness.
In the report, the doctors highlight the following important points regarding biological effects from electromagnetic fields;

So what can we do? We can either wait for government action while we are "frying" our bodies in the soup of EMF and RF frequencies, or we can use the special class of Orgone Energy Devices which we have been promoting for several years.

Pope has resigned
National media are reporting that Pope Benedict XVI has resigned.
National media are reporting that Pope Benedict XVI has resigned.
The Vatican has reportedly announced that he will step down on 28 February.
The Guernsey Press will be seeking reaction from the local Catholic church to this news for a report in tomorrow's newspaper.
Comments for: "Pope has resigned"
vic gamble
...not surprised...he looked too gay for that job.
More Local Than You
Shame on you for such a pathetic comment.
...he is either saying "The chair is too big for me"..or..."I am too small for the chair"....think the latter may be the truth!
Island Wide Voting
Possibly " Hands up all in favour of gay marriage"
I don't blame him for retiring he has had it tuff, what with having to deal with all the child sex scandals the catholic church has been going through.
The Holy Father has resigned on health grounds, there is a precedent, albeit from the year 1295, but Pope Benedict XVI always made it subconciously clear that were he to become incapacitated, he would step down from this office. He is both radical and stubborn! The Catholic Church will most certainly be shocked, saddended, and dismayed, but already this has been described as an "act of self-sacrifice" by a man not prepared to see the Church suffer as a result of his increasing frailty.
Benedict XVI's achievements as pontiff have been remarkable, renewing the worship of the Church, reconnecting it to the deep piety of the past; creating new links with non-Catholics by bringing ex-Anglicans into the fold. Surely he feels now unable to continue ruling.
As a Catholic I of course feel greatly saddened. Not only is he a great theologian, but also a remarkable pastor. May the remainder of his life be a time of much joy and peace. Thanks be to God for the ministry of Benedict XVI.
Oh Dear
Yep telling Africans that contraceptives were evil (thus helping the spread of HIV) then of course the paedophilia scandal that came about... Great theoligan.
Oh dear Veritas watch the debate, one speaker linked below on the question " Is the catholic church a force for good "? the rest of the speakers are in the right hand menu, including high ranking pro church members for balance.
Lets ask the experts on both sides of the fence in a world famous debate
The audience placed their votes at the beginning and at the end. Factually and objective it changed my view of the Church.
Jesus entered the market, and threw out the rich traders dressed in gold and wealth. What would he think of the Vatican's palaces and the fine cloths and pomp and ceremony by the bishops, cardinals and billions of dollars in fine art and investments.
Very stimulating, powerful, deep and uncomfortable for the church.
Island Wide Voting
On a gold plated pension ?
Someone has made a prediction that the next pope will not be female. I think thats a pretty safe bet.
Dani, if you have a mo google Pope Joan.
I have heard about her. Though thank you for pointing her out. She really has an interesting story. It is debated on whether she is legend or real. Roman Catholics say she was made up by the Protestant church to discredit and embarrass them. Scholars debate her existence also. It's said she got the position by pretending to be a man and the most popular ending to her story is she gave birth so an angry mob killed her by stoning her to death or tied her to the back of a horse that dragged her through the streets.
Why don't they get someone younger next time, more with it.
Can your claim that a younger pope will be more advantageous be extensively substantiated with fully accurate corroboration ? Although I quite often reject some traditional phenomena, I think that, from a philosophical persepective, it would be both fitting and wise to have an aged pope since, theoretically, one acquires more wisdom with age.
The fact that I have conservative views with concern to beliefs associated with religious hierarchies, but rather revolutionary views with regards to other aspects of civilisation, suggests that I am a political syncretic- something I think is most advantageous to society. This outlook, it's idealistic, but not impossible to put into practice.
Ed "...theoretically, one acquires more wisdom with age."
Let's hope so!
When I say young I mean 60 something, someone who understands the modern world we live in, know's his a**e from his elbow .. so to speak!
I have to admit to failing to read or understand your last missive.
The only thing you have said of any import or interest are the immortal words "theoretically, one acquires more wisdom with age". A pity you don't listen to your own words and stop trying to show us how "clever" you are while you are waiting for that defining moment when you acquire more wisdom.
Notice how I have never explicitly said that I am intelligent. I don't know if you realise, but there are some contributors on this site that have a writing style similar to mine, namely Spartacus and, occasionally, Deputy Matt Fallaize, so I wouldn't use my choice of expression as corroboration for the belief that I make myself seem erudite. Equally, I don't think you should use my choice of vocabulary to support this claim of yours; none of the words I use are in the list of the English Lanuage's most rarely used words. Though you didn't explicitly say that I was using such language to make myself appear intelligent, there is a strong probability that you are insinuating so.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using scientific or philosophical topics to illuminate some of the details on these pages or in the posts made by contributors as they illustrate the significance of such topics with concern to the larger environemnt and human existence, the value of which many are inclined to overlook or underestimate. The issue is that certain individuals, most likely those who want to engage in some light repartee or are less keen on viewing the situation from a profoundly philosophical or scientific perspective, dismiss such ideas as either the work of a madcap, troll or egotist.
Anyway, I am going to stop now, otherwise I would have been accused of infesting this forum with ostensibly half baked concepts and idiocy.

You say ... "none of the words I use are in the list of the English Lanuage's most rarely used words."
I for one was not aware that such a list existed and I'd be surprised if many other TIG users were aware of it
Is that where you source some of your
often quite weird terminology ?
Oh dear, his Popeyness has knocked it on the head. Do you think he's in line for a golden hand (of God) shake.
He's just can't remember which arm he used to use in the salute when he was in be Hitler youth.
vic gamble
...His Holiness the Nazi Youth Child is stepping down...one hopes it will not be the goose step..perhaps Ed could apply for the post and confuse everyone, as it was before and seemingly always will be...there are Popes and there are Dopes....it is sometimes hard to differentiate between the two...
Maybe he's had a better offer from 'I'm a Celebrity get me out of here'

Apparently this all stems from the FSA's 'horse lasagne' investigation which broadened to look into complaints received about KFC.

It cannot have escaped the notice of any good Catholic boys that the Pope's reign finishes on 28th February 2013; the same day as the current Seneschal of Sark.
Divine coincidence or Vatican intervention?

That is the wonder of such mysteries- I think it is much more excitable to derive independent conclusions through little investigation , rather than to discover the truth of something. You could do some research as excitement can be generated through probing different aspects of such a phenomenon and use them to either shed light on a mystery or to give credence to or refute a theory.
Oh Dear
Ed....what the hell are you on?
Oh Dear
I am on nothing, but would you think the same about a 19th Century philosophers essay, for example, ? I am not saying that I'm a philosopher, but I thought I would like to contribute something different- perhaps slightly quirky- to TIG.
Unfortunately, not on a one way ticket to a place very very far from here that lacks Internet access.
Oh Dear
19th Century philosophers made sense.
The comment made appeared to be a general one. The Seneschal and the Pope finishing on the same day is mere coincidence.
To speculate further would be a pointless and trivial exercise that would not conjure up any data of interest.
Why no further speculation, Oh Dear ? The devotion of time to theorisation creates excitement/stimulation.
Oh Dear
The reason that I would not excogitate this any longer is because it would prove to be a pointless (possibly lengthy) exercise that would display nothing more than a coincidental occurence.
I agree that devoting time to outstanding ideas is a very worthy pass time. I am just explaining that this isn't a reason for speculation.
Perhaps the Popes resignation was caused by a political "butterfly effect" with Sark the catalyst? ;)
Now the fun begins, I can imagine its going to be a hell of a job finding someone to replace him that has a squeaky clean past.
Is it a coincidence that the German Catholic Church has recently terminated an inquiry into historic child abuse, something that the former Pope may well have been implicated in (as he was in US investigations)?
Can Tony Blair apply for the vacancy, he's a Catholic now isn't he and I'm sure the middle east could do with a break from him?
Do you really want to see his inane grin all over the place again?
vic gamble
...Paul I never saw the Pope as having an inane grin...it was more of a kind of evil smirk...well he did try and conceal child abuse within the church...Tony Blair as Pope is highly unlikely...many too many past sins...what we need is a clean living upstanding boy like Anthony Webber !!
He could write realms of stuff from the Vatican, just slyly and occasionally getting in a mention that he was "once a politician" and that we are forgiven for stopping him in that God declared process.
I meant Tony Blair's inane grin....there are few politicians in the world I trust less than that guy.
It is understandable that the Holy Father finds it a strain, especially at his advanced age, and obviously this is something he will have prayed about and reflected upon for some time. And it seems that he deems it best to hand over that stewardship swiftly, rather than allow a prolonged period of increasing ill-health and fevered speculation about his successor. It seems that it was a shock even to those closest to him. The Holy Father will be the first Pope in 600 years to renounce the Papacy. Nevertheless, the Church does not have "policies" or "programmes" which change with the shifting winds of popular opinion. She teaches Truths which endure for eternity. So the Press can save its breath and stop speculating on whether the new Pope will "allow" female ordination, gay "marriage," contraception, and such like. He won't. Christ promised that he would be with the Church, to the end of the ages, and that the gates of hell would not prevail against her.
Yes, and we have always been at war with Eurasia.
The wikipedia article on the history of the Catholic Church's attitude towards slavery is particularly interesting.
Unless slavery isn't as important a moral issue as gay marriage or contraception?
One has to wonder why in 600 years he was the first Pope to renounce the Papacy.
Why is it that God helped all the others through to the end but not this one.
If he had prayed about this and reflected upon it for some time, where was God when he needed him.
All good Christians, as I understand, do not pray to save themselves, but pray for others
As a Catholic I am full of admiration for the present Pope and I admire his coursge at resigning.
I am ashamed about all the scandals and I hope everything possible will be done to rectify the damage done through paedophilia. All abusive priests should be banished and those bishops who covered up their actions should be answerable to the courts. Our local Diocese of Portsmouth sadly does not have the cleanest record in this respect.
The Magdalen Laundries scandal also does not make comfortable reading. I hope our local Sisters of Mercy were not part of this atrocious abuse.
Agreed John! But the Diocese of Portsmouth under the firm and faithful leadership of Philip Egan, our new bishop, and acquitance, will surely not have a repeat of past indiscretions.
I'm sure with your last sentence, you are looking to create some gossip perhaps. The dear Mercy Sisters in Guernsey are not of the same ilk as those who were accustomed to such evil acts in the past.

"You're never too old to
become younger." - Mae West
In all the political hubbub of the past week, we almost overlooked the
fact that Popeye the Sailor Man turned 75 last Saturday. Those of us who
grew up watching Popeye cartoons delight in memories of his last-minute
rescues of his sweetheart, Olive Oyl, from the grips of the master
masher Brutus (sometimes called Bluto). He would send the hairy brute to
smithereens after downing a can of spinach to fuel his anchor-tattooed
forearms. "That's all I can stands, and I can't stands no more," he
would swear before taking action. Born in Chesterville, Ill., the
creation of cartoonist Elzie Segar, Popeye and his cartoon pals (Wimpy
and Olive Oyl) were modeled after real people in Chesterville. The
lovable old mariner starred in some 600 animated cartoons, now the
property of King Features Syndicate, Inc., which is planning a year-long
series of events to mark Popeye's 75th. "Well blow me down," he might
say, adding "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam, I'm Popeye the
Sailor Man" (toot toot).
DELVE INTO OCC's PREEMPTION DECISION
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's recently-issued rules
preempting many state laws for national banks and their subsidiaries and
restrict the authority of state agencies to examine or take action
against national banks will be the topic of the day on Wednesday, Jan.
28, when Rep. Sue Kelly (R-N.Y.). Kelly, who chairs the House Financial
Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, convenes a
hearing on the OCC plan. New York State Superintendent of Banks Diana L.
Taylor will testify on behalf of the Conference of State Bank
"This hearing will require the OCC to publicly justify its decision to
finalize these rules prior to congressional review," said Kelly.
Kelly, who is vice chairman of the House Financial Services Committee,
said she was disappointed that the rules were finalized without
congressional review. She said the hearings will give "all stakeholders
the opportunity to share their input on the new rules so that we can
ensure that this significant change to banking regulation does not
undermine protections for consumers."
CSBS President and CEO Neil Milner commended Vice Chairman Kelly for
acting so promptly to hold this hearing on the OCC rules, which CSBS
staunchly opposes. "This issue certainly deserves congressional
oversight," said Milner, who added that a single appointed regulator
should not be allowed to restructure and infringe on state regulators'
ability to protect consumers at the state level.
Rep. Kelly's press release announcing the hearing may be found here.
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer filed a lawsuit on Tuesday that
challenges the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's new
preemption rules. Spitzer sued a subsidiary of a national bank for
illegally threatening to foreclose on a New York homeowner. The case
involves a 1974 mortgage loan issued by Mechanics Exchange Savings Bank.
The loan was assigned several times and has been held since 1995 by
First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, a Texas-based subsidiary of First
Tennessee Bank, a national bank. The consumer made all 300 payments by
automatic debit and mistakenly continued to pay the mortgage. The
customer was contacted in May 2003 and informed that due to a mistake in
1974, he should have paid $16 more per month, Spitzer said. The bank
extended the mortgage date and required additional payments and
threatened to foreclose when the customer refused to make additional
payments. Spitzer said his office had attempted to resolve the matter
with First Horizon, but bank "officials said they could not discuss the
matter because the OCC had issued a directive advising its officials not
to talk to state attorneys general." For more information about the
case, click here.
Representatives of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors took part
this week in two state legislative hearings on predatory lending and the
impact of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's recently
announce federal preemption on the ability of state banking regulators
and attorneys general to protect citizens at the state level. The
Tennessee Senate Banking Committee and Commerce Committee held hearings,
with Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions Kevin Lavender as
the key witness. CSBS Senior Vice President Montrice Yakimov and CSBS
General Counsel Buz Gorman also testified on behalf of CSBS. CSBS
President and CEO Neil Milner was in Helena, Mont., this week,
testifying on the same subject before the Montana legislature. Newspaper
coverage of the hearings in Tennessee may be found here.
More small banks would get relief from the compliance burden of the
Community Reinvestment Act under a joint proposal issued for comment
this week by the FDIC, Federal Reserve, OCC and OTS. The proposal would
define a small bank for CRA examination purposes as a bank with assets
of less than $500 million. Currently, small banks are defined as those
with less than $250 million in assets that are independent or affiliated
with a holding company that has total assets of less than $1 billion.
The proposal would make it clear that certain discriminatory, illegal or
abusive credit practices would count as factors against a bank in its
CRA evaluation. The proposal also would require CRA disclosure
statements to contain the number and amount of bank's small business and
small farm loans by census tract. Currently, such loans are disclosed in
the aggregate. The proposal is expected to be issued by the Federal
Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency. Comments will be due within 60 days after
the proposal is published in the Federal Register, which is expected
shortly. For more information, click here.

instructor and serves on the Conference of State Bank Supervisors'
Curricula Committee.
FBI: The Federal Bureau of Investigation was able to obtain more than
2,000 financial institution fraud convictions in fiscal year 2003,
according to a report released on Tuesday. The FBI said its financial
institutions investigations resulted in $3.8 billion in restitution
orders and $35.6 million in fines. The FBI also seized $7.7 million in
assets, forfeited $3.5 million and posted recoveries of $15.1 million in
financial institution fraud matters. The agency noted that in recent
years external fraud schemes have replaced bank insider abuse as the
dominant financial institution crime. Between April 1, 1996, and Sept.
30, 2003, the FBI received 268,536 Suspicious Activity Reports for check
fraud, check kiting and counterfeit negotiable instruments, which
created losses of about $8 billion. The report also noted that criminal
activity is becoming more complex and loan frauds have expanded to
groups of people who are involved in the loan process.
FDIC/FRB/OCC/OTS: Federal
banking regulators are seeking comments on how they can reduce the
regulatory burden on banks in the area of consumer protection rules. The
action by FDIC, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision is the second in a
series of requests for comments as part of the review under the Economic
Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act. The agencies said they
wanted to know how consumer protection rules may be outdated,
unnecessary or unduly burdensome. The comment deadline is April 20. Read more...
FDIC: For a state-by-state look at conditions of banks and the economy,
pay a visit to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Web site. A
review of the state profile reports found that community banks in South
Carolina achieved solid growth as of June 30, 2003, although at a slower
pace than previous years. In Kentucky, banks experienced a moderate
decrease in profitability at mid-year with return on assets declining to
0.94 percent as of June 2003. The picture was mixed for the 179
institutions headquartered in Colorado. The report noted that larger
metro banks have been more successful in developing other sources of
non-interest income and have more actively realized securities gains
than small metro banks. In Missouri, FDIC noted a dramatic increase in
the use of borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Between June 1998 and June 2003, the proportion of community
institutions with borrowings that made up at least 10 percent of total
funds increased from 9.6 percent to 19.4 percent. The profiles may be found here.

A 21-year-old North Augusta woman died Sunday in an inline skating accident, two days after graduating from Clemson University.
Samantha Cawthorne, of the 1400 block of Georgia Avenue, died Sunday night of a head injury at AnMed Health Medical Center in Anderson, S.C., said Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelley.
Cawthorne was skating alone about 2:30 p.m. Sunday on the university's garden trail when she struck a guardrail, according to a university police report.
She was not wearing a helmet, the coroner said.
On Friday, Cawthorne graduated magna cum laude with a degree in physics. She was scheduled to work for the National Institute for Standards and Technology, according to a Clemson news release.
Cawthorne was a 2006 International Baccalaureate graduate of North Augusta High School. She and her family moved to North Augusta from Maryland 10 years ago.
She left an impact on the faculty at her high school, said Dianne Smiley, her guidance counselor at North Augusta High.
"She was a great student, a very special young lady," Smiley said. "It's a tremendous loss."
At Clemson, Cawthorne was president of the Society of Physics Students and a member of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. She was also a Dixon Fellow and a graduate of Calhoun Honors College.
In a statement, her father said she treasured her friends and experiences at Clemson.
She is survived by her parents, John and Janine Cawthorne; brother Zachary Cawthorne; and sister Rebecca Cawthorne. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to disaster relief in Haiti at www.edusc.org.

Château Crabitey is situated 20 miles to the south of Bordeaux in the wine region of Graves. It was built in 1872 by Franciscan nuns who planted vines to provide an income for the Château which they used as an orphanage. The estate was then purchased in 1985 by Jean-Ralph de Butler and is now run by his son, Arnaud. The vineyards of the Graves benefit from the cooling influence of the Garonne river just to east, and the deep gravel soils add minerality and complexity to the wines.

6' Deluxe Umbrella Bronze Frame & Sunbrella Canopy is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GBOR from Sunbrella great fabric! Excellent umbrella! I would suggest upgrading to a larger size if in doubt on size. My 6' was a little small for the area. Have been happy with all my Improvement orders. Good quality merchandise
Date published: 2016-08-16
Rated 3 out of 5 by Newflover from Umbrella and canopy nice with one exception I recently purchased the 6' Deluxe Umbrella with a Bronze Frame and Sunbrella Canopy. The umbrella and canopy were easy to assemble and look sturdy. I ordered the teak sunbrella to go with other furniture on my deck. The only sour note was the white or cream stitching on the underside of the umbrella. Of course, when the umbrella is used that white stitching is very apparent for guests seated under the umbrella. It would have been such an aesthetic improvement with little or no extra cost or labor time to use thread that was the color of the sunbrella fabric or, at least brown or black. it cheapens the look of the otherwise very nice umbrella.
Date published: 2016-05-24
Rated 2 out of 5 by Trishthedish from sunbrella material not up to par after having waited quite a while for the umbrella to arrive the quality of the sunbrella material is poor. the color is fine but where the top flap is attached to to the lower portion of the material it is ripped at each attachment sight, i will try to fix it myself as summer is half over and don't want to waste the time sending it back just to get another one with the same issue. would not recommend this product if you expect it to arrive perfect. very disappointed.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- The Navy has changed the mess management specialist (MS) rating to culinary specialist (CS) in an effort to better describe the rating's profession. Sailors in the MS rating were automatically converted to the CS rating and kept their current rating badge, according to Naval Administration Message 012/04.
The rating's name has changed several times over its long history. Originally named cook, the rate changed to commissaryman in 1948. The title switched again in 1975 to mess management specialist. This year's change to culinary specialist keeps the occupation's definition current with today's civilian counterpart.
"The term culinary specialist is easier for people to relate to," said Senior Chief Culinary Specialist David Robertson, assistant food service officer aboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). "It's more up to date."
"The change was long overdue and offers multiple advantages," said Robertson. "The new term holds more value and can be used as an excellent recruiting tool."
"It will take time for some of the crew members to adjust to the new name, but being known as a culinary specialist is a good thing," said Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Roosevelt Roberts, Food Service Division. "It's better because mess specialist sounds like we're making a mess, but we actually work very hard and are good at what we do."
Working hard on the mess decks is important; however, CSs agree attending culinary school is the key to keeping their skills up to date.
"The Navy offers Sailors in the CS rating an opportunity to attend culinary schools," said Robertson. "Skills acquired while attending these schools are being implemented and revamped consistently to improve quality of life."
When Sailors are unable to attend culinary school, the Navy brings the training to them. The Chef-at-Sea program brings a professional chef aboard during underway periods. Executive Chef Darryl Espinosa is the Ronald Reagan Chef-at-Sea representative.
Espinosa trains the crew in new trends affecting the culinary community and offers several workshops aboard the ship to discuss what support nets are available to Sailors during their Navy career.
"The conversion from MS to CS should instill extra pride in these Sailors," said Espinosa. "Culinary is a more accepted term within the field and will add distinction."
According to Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Joseph Beezhold, Food Service Division, Ronald Reagan Sailors are dedicated to their work and their fellow shipmates, regardless of change.
"Sure the name has changed, but we still do the same job," said Beezhold. No matter what we're called, we're going to keep doing what we do...keeping the crew happy."

Miami's Five Best Kosher Restaurants
Head to 41st Street (Arthur Godfrey Road) in Miami Beach and you'll experience a "no longer in Miami" feeling. Baseball hats are replaced by yarmulkes; booty shorts are eschewed for conservative skirts. Tons of stores display the "KM," or Kosher Miami sticker, and while many people sling the word around, at Short Order, we wanted to know: What exactly does "kosher" mean?
According to a leading kosher certification organization, kashrus means "suitable and/or pure, thus ensuring fitness for consumption." Under this designation, pure foods include most poultry, fish, and meats -- minus pork. Animals must be killed humanely, quickly, and under the watch of a kosher supervisor. Dairy is cool, but it's got to come from kosher meat.
With that in mind, we sought the five best kosher restaurants in Miami. Check out what we turned up.
See also: Ten Best Lunch Specials Under $10
This pizza joint on 41st Street is unassuming and informal, but it has some pretty pies. If you're looking for fast, cheap, and good kosher food, this is a great option. For lunch, you can get two slices of pizza and a soda for $5.50. Not a bad way to save some gelt!
The St. Tropez kosher dog
House of Dog via facebook
This little-known spot has some kooky dogs, including the Dracula, the Tinkerbell, and the St. Tropez ($8), to name just a few. We went with the last. This frank is topped with peaches, chimichurri, and homemade sweet chili sauce. Not sure what it has to do with the French Riviera, but it's fun and tasty.
For those looking for an upscale kosher dining experience, look no further than the Harbour Grill in Bal Harbour. We put our fancy shoes on and tried the veal chop ($42). Tender, perfectly grilled, and paired with a nice chimichurri sauce, this dish is worth your hard-earned money.

2005 Ford Excursion (2 Reviews)
We have 4 children and often carrying even more than that!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Excursion!!! We use it for everything! We haul furniture, kids, pull our 30 ft camper and more. We own the 2005 and would love it if they started making them again!! It was our best purchase!!
This is the best vehicle, I have ever owned. There's alot of room in all 3 seating areas and is great for long trips. I have the 6.0 turbo diesel and it gets around 15-16 mpg in the city. I owned a 2002 Excursion V10 and that was also a good car, but could never compare to the "Limited" model with the diesel engine. It's too bad they don't make them anymore

The Scouting Report
The Staten Island Yankees continue to roll through the dog days of summer, showcasing the young stars of tomorrow at Richmond County Bank Ballpark. Serving as a launching pad for the Yankee organization's brightest young stars, Staten Island already boasts an impressive list of alumni who have gone on to make an impact in major-league teams' backyard wiffle-ball games. As the short-season action heats up throughout August, fans can score team gear during promotional giveaways, such as a jersey giveaway on August 9 and a baseball bat giveaway on August 11.
Staten Island Yankees
In 1999, as New York City's first minor-league baseball team, the Staten Island Yankees adopted the name of one of MLB's most successful franchises. Since that time, the Baby Bombers have lived up to their big-league affiliate's iconic status, winning six New York-Penn League championships—including an initial title in just their second year.
But perhaps fittingly for a city such as New York, that commanding run has also included some bizarre moments. In 2008, for instance, the Yankees' ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte found himself in a dual of a different sort with Brooklyn Cyclones switch-hitter Ralph Henriquez. More than able but less than willing, neither player would pick a side—leading to the formation of a new official rule for such situations. Perhaps just as strange, the team never even got to celebrate that first championship in a home stadium, since Richmond County Bank Ballpark wasn't completed until the next year. Today it stands, though, with clear views just past center field of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty waving her foam finger.

Microsoft hasn't gained any real ground in the tablet market -- Gartner says it had only a 2.1% market share in 2013. Can the growth of hybrids and possibly Windroid devices help give Microsoft the boost it needs?
Gartner says that for 2013, Microsoft sold 4,031,802 tablets to end users, for a 2.1% tablet market share. That's certainly better than 2012, in which only 1,162,435 Windows tablets were sold, for a 1% market share. But the 2013 numbers are still dismal, especially considering that the 2012 sales were almost exclusively for Windows 7 tablets. Windows 8 didn't release until late October, 2012, and Surface RT launched then, but not the Surface Pro, which didn't become available until February, 2014.
Gartner stated the obvious in its press release about its tablet findings, saying that in 2013 Microsoft's "ecosystem still failed to capture major consumers' interest on tablets." Roberta Cozza, research director at Gartner, added:
"To compete, Microsoft needs to create compelling ecosystem proposition for consumers and developers across all mobile devices, as tablets and smartphones become key devices for delivering applications and services to users beyond the PC."
But Gartner held out some hope for Microsoft. The research firm expects that productivity-oriented hybrid ultramobiles will be sizable sellers in 2014. And that's Microsoft's sweet spot -- it's exactly what its Surface line is when combined with Microsoft's keyboard covers.
Cozza notes that:
"Although there were few models available last year, the hybrid form factor was the fastest growing category in 2013. Hybrid ultramobiles attracted users' attention because the keyboard offers better use of productivity applications and benefits from a tablet form factor."
Gartner expects that in 2014, tablet buyers will begin upgrading to hybrid ultramobiles so that they will no longer need to use both a tablet and notebook. Cozza explains:
"There is an opportunity here for hybrid ultramobiles to marry the functionality of a PC and a tablet, and they will also prove to be an attractive alternative replacement product among businesses."
That trend started to pick up in the second half of 2013, notably with Lenovo gaining market share. Isabelle Durand, principal research analyst at Gartner, says:
"Lenovo's success is a combination of launching innovative new tablet models during the second half of 2013 and the sales of its Yoga model and Windows tablets doing particularly well."
This trend may also be the reason that Microsoft is willing to consider allowing Android apps to run on Windows and Windows Phone. The Verge says that if it were to occur, Android apps would appear in the Windows Store and the Windows Phone Store. People could download the apps, and run them on their Windows devices.
That would solve one of Windows' biggest problems on tablets -- far fewer apps run on them than on Android or iOS. Allowing Android apps to run on Windows tablets would potentially make the tablets more appealing. Microsoft might even consider pushing dual-booth Windows-Android tablets -- Windroids.
Windows tablets are likely to get a bigger boost by the move towards hybrid ultramobiles, though. Windows is an ideal platform for those devices, as the Surface Pro 2 with keyboard attachment shows.
In addition, low-cost Windows tablets are set to be launched in India, according to the Times of India. The newspaper says that the tablets will sell for approximately 10,000 rupees, which at today's exchange rate is about $160.
So despite that puny 2.1% market share, better times may be ahead for Windows tablets, at least if Gartner's predictions about the growth of hybrid ultramobiles proves true.

We rounded up some of the world's worst nuclear disasters ranked by their placement on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES).
1. SL-1 Experimental Power Station
Idaho, USA
3 January 1961
This nuclear disaster was caused by improper removal of control rod responsible for absorbing neutrons in the reactor core, resulting in a steam explosion and meltdown.
The accident killed three operators while 22 other workers were fully exposed to the radiation. 790 other people exposed to harmful levels during cleanup and disposal of radioactive wastes.
$4.3 million worth of property loss was estimated from the incident.
2. RA-2 Facility
Buenos Aires, Argentina
23 September 1983
This nuclear accident was caused due to operator error while re-configuring a fuel plate. leading to a nuclear reactor assembly meltdown.
nuclear accident the operator died 2 days later after exposure to massive doses of gamma and neutron rays. 17 others in the facility absorbed radiation doses.
3. Tokaimura Nuclear Accident
30 September 1999
Tōkai, Japan
This need a disaster occurred when workout at the nuclear power plant put highly enriched Uranium inner precipitation tank more than what was permitted, causing an instantaneous and uncontrolled nuclear fission.
As a consequence of this incident 2 workers died at the spot. 667 workers , emergency personnel and nearby residents exposed to excess radiation.
The estimated cost of property loss in this accident is estimated to be worth USD 120 million.
4. Windscale Piles
Buenos Aires, Argentina
23 September 1983
The accident broke out when one of the two reactor cores caught fire igniting 11 tons of Uranium. It was ablaze for three days before it was put out. Substantial amount of radioactive contamination were released as far as mainland Europe.
It took 10 years to clean up the accident site and it caused dollar 30 million of revenue loss. The cleaning up process is still undergoing and is estimated to last up to 2037 and cost $102 billion for the whole process.
5. Three Miles Island
Pennsylvania. USA
28 March 1970
The incident broke out when a pressure valve in one of the reactors failed to close, releasing contaminated cooling water into adjoining buildings. Operators made critical containment errors and by next morning the core heated short of meltdown, but radioactive steam had already poured out of the plant.
As a result 140,000 people evacuated the place. A study found significant increase in Cancers among residents who lived within ten miles of the area. No deaths were reported though.
6. Goiania Accident
Goais, Brazil
13 September 1987
Two thieves broke into an abandoned private hospital, disassembled a teletherapy unit and took off with a small Steel capsule containing highly radioactive caesium chloride. Several people handled the capsule and even let loose the content.
The incident killed 4 people whereas 112, 000 people were examined out of which 249 were found to have observed high radiation levels. 1,000 people identified with small doses. Topsel removed on contaminated sites. 40 houses demolished.
The local Court ordered USD 750, 000 total worth of compensation, which was to be given by the National Nuclear Energy Commission of Brazil.
7. Mayak Plant
Kysgtym, Russia
29 September 1957
Cooling system failed to work, causing a non-nuclear explosion with a force equivalent to between 75 and 100 tons of TNT.
In the incident 200 people died from radiation 10000 people evacuated. The people 470,000 contaminated. Radioactive fallout cloud registry hundred kilometres away contaminating an 800- square KM area now known as the East-Ural Radioactive Trace.
Since it was a hidden project of Russia, there are no estimates of the total loss of revenue.
8. Chernobyl Nuclear Plant
Chernobyl Ukraine
26 April 1986
On April 26, 1986, the world's worst nuclear power plant accident to date occurred at Chernobyl in Ukraine. Experts believe that thousands of people died from radiation exposure and as many as 70,000 suffered from severe poisoning. The full toll is still being tallied up to this day.
An electrical test by workers at one of the four reactors created a sudden power surge, leading to a series of blasts that blew off the 1,000-ton steel top of the reactor.
The incident led to the death of 32, whereas dozens suffered radiation burns. 600000 people involved in cleanup and recover were exposed to radiation. Total number of deaths may reach 4,000 from among those exposed.
The Russian Ukrainian and Belarus government sobbing hundreds of billions of dollars to the affected people for the for each in effects that are continuing until now.

Among the more dangerous notions that investors may encounter when grappling with financial markets is that "this time is different".
After a very strong run in a certain financial asset class, fundamentals often give way to what former Federal Reserve Chairman
But even as prices for a favoured investment move well beyond that justified by traditional valuation metrics, there are always a few quick to claim old rules no longer apply, such as – you've guessed it – this time is different.
I've recently argued that such irrational exuberance appears to have gripped the gold market in recent years. But what about one of the other more important financial asset classes in the global economy – the US stockmarket? US stocks have also increased strongly in recent years, even in the face of what has been fairly sluggish US economic growth.
The good news is that from a short-run valuation perspective, the US market does not appear overly stretched. The US S&P 500's price to forward-earnings ratio is about 13.5, which is a touch below its decade average of 14. Considering 10-year US government bond yields are only 1.8 per cent – or about half their decade average of 3.6 per cent – the equity market seems fairly valued in outright terms and quite cheap relative to bonds and cash.
US corporate earnings, moreover, are still holding up fairly well – although overly bullish earnings growth expectations for 2012 and 2013 have been scaled back somewhat over the past year.
After growing by 45 per cent and 15 per cent respectively in 2010 and 2011 as America recovered from recession, US corporate earnings earlier last year were expected to grow 9 per cent and 12 per cent respectively in 2012 and 2013.
According to Thomson Reuters estimates, however, analysts now expect earnings to grow by only 6 per cent and 7.5 per cent in these years. That's still reasonably good growth, although we can't rule out further earnings downgrades as the upswing of the earnings cycle matures.
But based on present earnings expectations, the market's measure of "forward earnings" would grow by 7 per cent over the remainder of this year, and 10 per cent next year. Unless the PE ratio can lift a lot further, modest 7 to 10 per cent annual equity price growth – broadly in line with earnings growth – might be a reasonable expectation over the next two years.
And those wanting to be bullish might note there's scope for the PE ratio to rise to above-average levels if bond yields remains stuck at quite low levels.
So far so good, but here's the challenge – interest rates could rise and earnings could disappoint. Of these two, the lesser concern is interest rates. After all, US bond yields are unsustainably low and should eventually rise as the US economy gains traction.
The fact the US equity market is only at fair value (based on short-run valuation metrics) – and very cheap compared to bonds – suggests the market is not yet overly reliant on artificially low interest rates staying around.
To my mind, the bigger issue is the sustainability of the earnings recovery. Over the past century, real US corporate earnings growth has been about 2 per cent a year.
Despite America's three recessions since 1990, trend growth in real earnings has been much stronger than 2 per cent in recent decades – such that earnings are now above their longer-run trend. Ominously, this was last evident in the three years to 2007.
The question is whether the period of exceptionally strong US earnings growth, which is evident by the US corporate profit margin at historically high levels, soon requires a correction back to its long-run trend. If earnings can continue at a higher trend path, the US market looks in good shape – and some argue this is possible due to globalisation and the rising share of US profits earned in foreign markets. But if earnings eventually need to return to trend, the US market is 20 to 30 per cent over valued.
Indeed, the market's price to reported earnings ratio is about 17 – or just above its century average of 16. But relative to long-run trend earnings, which are 20 per cent below present earnings, the market's PE ratio is a much higher 22.
Even if we look at the averages for the past 40 years alone, US equity prices are 30 per cent above trend reported earnings and 20 per cent above nominal national output respectively.
All up, while I'm comfortable with the US market over the next year or so, I'm less confident returns will be strong on a five-to-10-year basis, which no doubt has implications for our market.
Of course, I could be wrong about the longer term outlook.
But it would require believing that this time is different.

Michigan Ethanol Begins Production
Date Posted: October 28, 2002
Caro, MI--Michigan Ethanol, LLC has completed construction on its plant, the first ethanol plant to operate in the state of Michigan.
Michigan Ethanol, LLC, located outside of Caro, MI, will process nearly 16 million bushels of corn per year into 40 million gallons of ethanol and 120,000 tons of distillers dry grains.
"Response by area producers delivering corn to the plant has been outstanding," said Tony Simpson, Michigan Ethanol, LLC general manager.
"Michigan Ethanol is looked upon as a new major marketing alternative for area corn producers."
The plant was designed and built by the Broin Companies, of Sioux Falls, SD.
"The economic impact in the local and regional area will be significant," said Jeff Broin, CEO of the Broin Companies.
"Not only has the plant created a new local market for corn, it has provided new jobs and will spend millions of dollars annually in its operation.
Speaking to several hundred people at the plant grand opening, Bob Dinneen, Renewable Fuels Association president, stated: "The state of Michigan consumes a great deal of ethanol and now they have an in-state ethanol supplier.
"I congratulate Michigan Ethanol on their plant start-up and welcome them to the most dynamic industry in the energy business.
"I look forward to working with them in the future to pass a renewable fuels standard and continue the rapid growth of the ethanol industry."

The first generic version of the heartburn drug Nexium (esomeprazole) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The drug helps treat GERD, which stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease. GERD occurs when stomach acid backs into the esophagus, and is commonly known as chronic heartburn or acid reflux.
What conditions is it helpful
Nexium is used to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD or heartburn), erosive esophagitis, and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid production.
Curr Med Res Opin. 2015. Rapid resolution of sleep
disturbances related to frequent reflux: effect of esomeprazole 20 mg in
two randomized, double-blind, controlled trials. To investigate the
resolution of heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-related
sleep disturbances during the first 14 days of treatment with
esomeprazole 20 mg compared to placebo in subjects with frequent
nighttime heartburn and GERD-related sleep disturbances.. Nexium 20 mg
significantly and effectively reduced nighttime heartburn and GERD-related
sleep disturbances in the first 2 weeks of treatment compared to
placebo, with rapid resolution of sleep disturbances in the first days
of treatment.
Who should not take it?
Before taking Nexium, tell your doctor if you have ever had any type of liver disease. You may not be able to take Nexium, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring.
Nexium, pregnancy and
Nexium is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby, however sometimes information comes our years later that a particular drug is more harmful than initially thought. Doctors are not sure whether Nexium passes into breast milk. Do not take Nexium without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How to take this medication
It is recommended to take each Nexium dosage with a full glass of water. It should be taken at least one hour before a meal. Do not break or chew the Nexium capsules since they are formulated to release slowly in the body. There are no restrictions on food, beverages, or activities while taking Nexium.
Recommended adult Nexium dosage for treatment of esophagitis is 20 mg or 40 mg one capsule daily 4 to 8 weeks (unless otherwise directed by your doctor).
What happens if a person misses a Nexium dosage?
This is not a crucial problem, just skip the missed Nexium dosage and take only your next regularly scheduled dosage. Do not take twice as much.
What are the symptoms of Nexium overdose?
Symptoms of an Nexium overdose include drowsiness, shortness of breath, tremor and loss of coordination.
Side effects of Nexium, danger, safety, risk
Nexium began to be used in 2001. It takes many years to find out the full range of side effects of Nexium or other drugs. Serious adverse reactions could be an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other Nexium side effects reported include headache, diarrhea, nausea, flatulence, abdominal pain, or constipation; or dry mouth. Some studies indicate headache is common. The most common Nexium side effects appear to be gastrointestinal. This medication can interfere with the absorption of certain drugs. By preventing high acidity in the stomach, it is theoretically possible that chronic use of this drug may lead to a higher rate of gastrointestinal infections since not enough acid is available to kill germs in the stomach.
Curr Drug Saf. 2011. Hypomagnesaemia / hypokalemia associated with the use of esomeprazole. Low magnesium and potassium levels in the blood.
Nexium medication
not safe
Taking a heartburn medication such as AstraZeneca's Nexium increases the risk of diarrhea blamed on the Clostridium difficile bacteria. Nexium reduces gastric acid, allowing for bacteria to multiply in the digestive system. Clostridium is the third-most common type of infectious diarrhea in patients aged 75 and older. Exposure to Clostridium difficile bacteria, which causes infection and inflammation of the intestine, previously occurred mostly during hospital stays, but cases have increasingly been contracted in community settings. While antibiotics formerly blamed for outbreaks of the illness have declined in use, the acid-blocking drugs have become steadily more popular to treat ulcers and conditions such as gastric reflux disease.
Nexium and bone fracture
PPIs may be associated with bone fracture. Prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors such as Nexium, particularly at high doses, is linked to increased risk of hip fracture in the elderly.
Reports and
questions from users
I took Nexium everyday for over 9 months. Now i have severe symptoms of IBS. I have major gas, rumbling in the stomach, diarrhea and burping a warm sulfur like taste. I'm assuming the Nexium killed all the healthy bacteria, so I'm getting some probiotics from CVS to take to restore the healthy bacteria.
Ten months ago
I was hospitalized for a bleeding ulcer. Following a heart attack five years ago
I was prescribed a daily regimen of 81mg of aspirin which was the cause of the
ulcer. I was advised to take 40 mg of of Nexium daily for as long as I was
taking aspirin. I have osteoporosis and I understand that Calcium Citrate does
not need acid to make it bioavailable. I hope that this is correct. In addition
to this what are the long term dangers of continuing to take Nexium and are the
risks from long term nexium usage reduced if I switched to 20mg daily.
Reducing the dosage is likely to reduce the long term risks.
I have been taking
40 mg per day four years ago. About two years ago I have been having balance
problems when walking and some kind of fatigue in my lower legs. Can this be a
side effect of Nexium ?
It is possible but there are other reasons for balance problems and especially fatigue. A reliable way to know is to stop the medication to see if the symptoms go away and to restart it to see if the symptoms return.
I have been taking nexium 40 mg for 12 years. I open the capsule and swallow the granules since I cannot swallow pills or capsules. I chew tablets and open capsules. Two months ago I suddenly developed painful edema in my feet, ankles, and lower legs. All radiological and blood tests have been negative.
Nexium and drug interactions
It is possible that Nexium may interfere with digoxin (Lanoxin, Lanoxicaps); itraconazole (Sporanox) or ketoconazole (Nizoral); or iron (Feosol, Mol-Iron, Fergon, Femiron, others).
Can I stop using Nexium if I feel
Since most drugs have side effects in the long run, if your symptoms were not serious and you feel better, it may be a good idea to stop it if your doctor thinks your condition is fully treated. Sometimes doctors put patients on medicines and do not reevaluate often enough whether the patient still needs the medicines.
How is Nexium available?
Nexium is available is 20 mg and Nexium 40 mg dosage, delayed release. Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium, AstraZeneca) delayed-release capsules were approved in 2006 for use in children ages 12 to 17 for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Nexium for children
In 2008, Nexium drug was approved by the FDA for treating excess stomach acid in children aged 1 to 11 years.
The FDA approved Nexium, Astra's top seller and the world's second-biggest prescription medicine, in two forms -- a delayed response capsule and a liquid. Nexium was approved in a dose of 10 milligrams, or 20 milligrams daily, for children aged between 1 and 11 -- half the dosage for patients aged 12 to 17.
Comments: Long term safety of Nexium in children is not clearly understood.
Nexium ads on TV claim that it relieves heartburn and esophagitis. The ads mention that headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain are Nexium side effects. The phone number is listed as 800-purplepill. The website is purple pill dot com.
Q. Are there natural alternatives to Nexium?
A. I am not aware of a natural source of a proton pump inhibitor, but there are some supplements used for ulcer that are worth a try.
Q. My fiance was diagnosed with Barretts Esophagus in 2006. Since then his specialist has prescribed him with 80mg of Nexium a day. Recently my fiance has been feeling very ill with Nexium side effects. Major headaches, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness and tightness in his throat, making it difficult to swallow. Then we went to visit the specialist last week for an Upper GI to see what the problem was. Thankfully his Barretts is gone, but the doctor said to keep taking the same dosage of Nexium. My fiance still could not function normally, so he on his own stopped taking the Nexium and started to eat foods with low levels of acid and started to feel much better. His father died of cancer in the esophagus.
Thanks for sharing this Nexium side effect experience with us. We are surprised
about Barrett's esophagus syndrome being gone, we wonder if the initial
diagnosis was correct.
Q. What was it
you said about the unwanted side effects of Nexium? That it take years to know
what all of these side effects will be? Well, now were paying the bill for that
asinine method of determining the safety of a drug. I'm referring to the article
in The New York Times, December 27, 2006 "Study Finds a Link Between Some
Heartburn Drugs and Hip Injuries in People Over 50". You Medicos should know
that about the human system. You can't take from one part of the human system
without paying back to another. Were you getting paid from Astra Zenica pharma
that makes Nexium for touting the benefits?
A. Many times in my life I have made a quick judgment about someone without first understanding them in a fuller way. You may wish to spend more time on my website reading a number of different pages and you will realize your last statement in your email was quite off the mark.
Q. I believe I
suffered an overdose of Nexium medication. I have been diagnosed with oscillopsia, ataxia,
severe difficulty swallowing, I have a swollen membrane in the inner ear,
frequent headaches and my blood platelet count is now 88.
My doctor has said this was all caused by a virus of unknown origin, yet, when
my blood was tested, I showed no signs of a virus or a bacterial infection. He
then diagnosed opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia, had me COMPLETELY tested for that,
and according to the tests, I'm fine. I have no brain issues (CT scan and MRI),
I have no genetic disorders, no cancers, I am a perfectly healthy 44 year old
woman other than the obvious issues. Is there any type of test or testing that
would prove Nexium is what has caused this? If so, do you know if there is any
way to fix me?
A. Sorry, this is outside of my range of knowledge.
Q. I am a neurologist and the individual above needs a full neurological work up, but certainly should be checked for Whipple's disease and remote effect of neural crest tumors. I hope you can pass on this information to her so she can see a competent neurologist.
Q. I read your
page regarding Nexium usage, but something I haven't been able to find
information on is long term Nexium use. I've been taking Nexium everyday for the
past 3 years, since I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. If I go off it for a
week, my stomach hurts, I have diarrhea, and can eat hardly anything, but I am
afraid to keep taking the drug indefinitely. My father died of stomach and
esophageal cancer, so the whole issue scares me. Do you have any information
regarding my concern about long term safety or side effects of Nexium medication
A. Not enough long term human research with Nexium is available to know the full extent of Nexium side effects. Until we learn more, the best option is to take occasional breaks as tolerated and to use the lowest dosage that works. Taking occasional breaks may reduce potential long term Nexium side effects.
Q. Is it true
that long term use of Nexium can cause pernicious anemia due to malabsorption of
vitamin B12?
A. Yes, it is possible that Nexium drug use can lead to reduced absorption of protein bound vitamin B12 but taking vitamin B12 supplements should not be a problem.
Q. I have been
taking Nexium drug for 8 years or more. I really can't recall how long. I had
either irritable bowel syndrome or acid reflux my throat hurt and this seemed to
do the trick. I take 40 mg per day every day. Now I can drink orange juice and
coffee and hot sauce with no effects. None of these were possible before. I do
have an occasional migraine maybe 3 times a year not more and they could be
stress. I am a 49 year old male and have never broken a bone although very
active all my life. I only drink about 24 oz of milk a day due to being recently
diabetic. Am I in danger of osteoporosis at this age? Do I need to limit my use
although my doctor has never indicated to do so? How can I help the medical
profession understand long term use of this drug?
A. Osteoporosis usually occurs later in life and is more likely in women than in men. Sometime in the next few years your doctor may order a bone density test if he or she feels you need it due to being on Nexium medication for many years. Research regarding Nexium and osteoporosis is still in its early stages.
I stumbled upon
the website when I was looking at Nexium alternatives and was wondering if you
have any info on H. Pylori, gastritis treatment with supplements and herbs, and
diet? I didn't see it on your website but if you could refer me to a trusted
source, I would appreciate it. To add to the info on Nexium use and side effects
that you have: I had terrible side effects, besides diahrrea at 40 mg a day
which where prescribed to treat astrophic gastritis, even when reduced to 20 mg
had a very suppressed, flat mood: very disabling, hard to function. My GI said
it is not common but occurs in small percentage of patients. I tried B
supplements and it works a little better but not well enough. When evaluating
the benefits of taking Nexium, I didn't feel it was benefiting me enough for me
to continue taking them especially that my symptoms are not as disabling as when
I take the drug. Thanks so much. great info on the web and if you get a chance
to forward me some info on H. Pylori, it would be much appreciated! Keep up the
good work, it is always refreshing to see MD who is not completely closed to the
See helicobacter pylori for information on natural therapy.
I was hoping to
ask a fast question. I have been eating medjool dates and date rolls for the
past two months almost daily. All of a sudden when I eat them I get massive
stomach cramps that won't go away unless I take copius amounts of acidophilus.
Could it be the magnesium held in these is starting to bother me or some other
property held within? They did not bother me at all the first 6 weeks of
consuming them. My Dr. put me on Nexium but I would think it doubtful that these
dates could have caused some kind of ulcer. I eat other food normally with no
problem. I hope you can help give an opinion.
It is not possible to know without doing a full history and medical examination and review of routine tests, but it is unlikely that the magnesium is causing problems. Dates are high in fructose.
I have been
taking Nexium for four months for GERD; it works wonderfully, but the side
effects, including depression and joint pain are too much to handle. Since going
off it, my acid reflux is better than before, but still bothers me sometime. Of
course my favorite foods are coffee, red wine, chocolate and garlic; that
probably doesn't help. I'm a sixty-seven year old man of normal weight and in
otherwise great health. Do you have any suggestions for herbal alternatives?
See the article on this site regarding GERD.
I have a
question about the prolonged use of Nexium. Here is the background on me: I�m a
56-year old female in good health. About a year ago I started having problems
swallowing. It wasn�t a classic example of GERD exactly; it was more that food
would not go down easily. I frequently found myself choking or coughing until
the food would go down. This of course lead to my seeing a GI who ordered an
esophagram followed by an endoscopy � both were done last November. The
endoscopy revealed Barret�s esophagus and also a superficial ulcer in my
stomach. I was put on Nexium, 40 mg and told to come back for a repeat endoscopy
in February, 2010 which I did. The second procedure revealed that the Barrett�s
esophagus / ulcer was fully healed as well as the stomach ulcer. My dosage was
reduced to 20 mg. I feel fine and have no repeats/issues with food not going
down, with digestion, or with any of the side effects mentioned (diarrhea,
tiredness, headache, etc.). In fact, I feel quite good! My doctor said to come
back in a year for another endoscopy and to re-evaluate my need for nexium.
Questions: I�d like to know if I should continue with the nexium, as proscribed,
or if it is possible to take it less frequently, or perhaps not at all? This is
the only medication I have ever taken on a regular basis my entire life. I have
no other chronic ailments or issues. My doctor says I will probably be taking
this medication for the rest of my life. Is this a fair assessment? For the
record, my father also suffers from heartburn and gastric reflux. He is 85. Is
this a condition I most likely inherited? I believe my grandmother, his mother,
also had ulcers and digestive issues. I�d appreciate your feedback.
This is not a decision I can make for you since I am not your physician but you could take a look at the pages on this site on Barrett's and ulcer.
I am 41 years old and I have been taking Nexium for over 20 years (20mg per day) to threat my gastroesophageal reflux disease. After my last visit to the doctor he told me that the lining of my esophagus has no more irritation and it seems to be recovered. Therefore I tried to reduce it and use some alternative medicaments. The first two three days was ok I could manage some disturb by taking some natural pill like ��NeoBianacid (Aboca)�� .After 2 weeks the frequency of reflux disturbs increased and the effect of natural pills is limited to 30 40 minutes.
