It's well known that job growth has been lacking in this recovery. One reason for the disappointment is that small businesses aren't adding workers like they used to.
Economists at Goldman Sachs explored the shift in hiring by business size using the Labor Department's Business Employment Dynamics survey. Although the BED data lag, the Goldman economists found small firms (defined as businesses employing less than 1-49 workers) have indeed underperformed medium and large companies whether underperform is defined as "a slower rate of job growth during the recovery relative to other firm size classes or a failure to regain the absolute magnitude of job losses incurred during the recession."
These trends contrast with the last business cycle of the early 2000s. Small firms barely lost any jobs in the 2001 recession and then outpaced medium and large firms in the expansion.
Of course, job growth overall has been hampered by weak demand, credit constraints and global woes. Goldman identified some reasons unique to small-company hiring.
First, small firms account for a disproportionately large share of construction jobs and those payrolls collapsed during the Great Recession.
Second, labor markets have seen a structural shift toward large company jobs. For instance, Goldman notes large companies' share of retail employment has jumped 16 percentage points from the early 1990s to 64% today. Many mom-and-pop stores can't compete against big box retailers.
Lastly, large-business employment has tended to be more sensitive to the business cycle. When the U.S. recovery strengthens, big firms benefit a bit more.
Looking ahead, the Goldman Sachs economists say these factors argue that small-business hiring won't outperform larger enterprises. But small firms will see positive hiring, especially as the housing recovery benefits small construction companies. Those jobs should be plus to overall payroll growth.
The laggard pace of small-firm hiring this recovery is echoed in the ADP September private-sector data. According to ADP numbers, payrolls at private firms with less than 50 employees have increased 4.7% since the end of the recession through August, medium-size firms (50-499 employees) are up 6.1% and large firms (more than 1,000 workers) have increased payrolls by 7.4%.

The U.S. national team midfielder is training with the Hammers, though the nature of his visit to London is not completely known.
Several outlets in the U.K. and in the United States have reported that the 26-year-old is on trial, and could join the club permanently if he impresses manager Sam Allardyce.
In an email to Goal.com, a Sporting KC spokesman said "Graham is training at West Ham and will join the U.S. in California later in the week."
Zusi enjoyed a highly successful 2012 campaign, becoming a regular with the U.S. national team while finishing third in MLS MVP voting. He did sign a contract extension with Sporting KC early in 2012, so West Ham would have to produce an acceptable bid to secure the University of Maryland product's services.
Zusi was called up for the U.S. national team's January camp, which began in Los Angeles this week. Also called up was Chivas USA forward Juan Agudelo, who is currently training with West Ham alongside Zusi.

Lily Lolo Cool Carmel Mineral Foundation
Cool Caramel is suitable for medium skin with cool or pink undertones. It's important to find the right shade of foundation for your skin tone. Try our inexpensive samples in order to ensure you have an exact match. Remember to match your foundation to the skin tone on your jaw line, and not on your hand (they may be very different).
For the best results apply your mineral foundation with a kabuki brush or a flocked sponge. Shake a little foundation powder into the lid of the jar and swirl the brush into the powder until there's an even covering of minerals on the brush. Tap the base of the brush on a hard surface to settle the minerals into the bristles, this ensures a natural looking finish. Starting at the jaw line, apply the mineral foundation in a circular motion applying some pressure. Re-load the brush and re-apply in thin layers until the desired coverage is achieved.
If you're using sample sizes you may find it helpful to empty a small amount of powder into a larger container in order to load the brush more easily.
How to find the right shade?
Remember to match your foundation to the skin tone on your jaw line, and not on your hand (they may be very different).
If a shade looks too ashy it's too pale for you, if it looks orange (even the slightest bit!) it's too dark. With mineral foundation it's easy to mix shades together as well.
For guidance choosing your shade look at your skin in daylight, you may notice that you have more pinky tones or more yellowy tones, so then choose a shade which matches the undertones.
Looking at the veins in your wrists can also help, if the veins look blue, you're more likely to have cool coloring, with pinky undertones and if the veins look more green, warm undertones and yellow coloring.

Buy Your Dream Car—for Less Than $6000
At first glance, one might be tempted to give this '57 T-Bird a big thumbs up. However upon closer inspection...the Bird becomes an incongruent mix of old and new. We dig that monster motor and those fenderwell headers. But what's the deal with those way too tall and too-modern seats? The wheels and tires are certainly big, but some period-correct rubber work much better.
This mid-year Corvette is set to be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson auction this January. It's completely custom, with a mid-mounted turbo GM V8 with 1070 hp. The display card says it goes from 0-60 mph in less than three seconds. But none of that means anything if the car is ugly. And this "V7 Prototype" is certainly that. The fenders are bloated and the rearend of the car looks like it needs a serious nip/tuck. Why create such a complex and detailed hot rod and not fine tune the aesthetics?

text: Dairymen and women are focus of "local values" campaign. A breaking TV, print, online and outdoor advertising campaign for Upstate Farms brand milk features Western New York dairy farmers and their values. Created by advertising agency Cenergy, East Aurora, N.Y., it is the first-ever integrated brand campaign, and the first-ever TV advertising for Upstate Niagara Cooperative, Buffalo. The dairymen and women, identified by name and town in four web interviews (not yet final) and on all print advertising, offer plain farm wisdom. "Our cows work hard for us, so we work our hardest for them," (Sarah and Robert Colby, Spencerport, N.Y.), or "A pasture is where the cows are supposed to be, it's what nature made for them," (Bob and Nancy Steinbar, East Otto, N.Y.), and likewise from Larry and Gary Hibsch of Strykersville, and Karl and Tina Kowalski of Lockport, N.Y. (The TV?commercial stars mostly the cows.) View at http://tinyurl.com/8ye3g7y . All video footage and print photography was shot on 13 Upstate Niagara Cooperative farms The look is unvarnished. There was no TV "production company." The shooter for both video and print, Rhea Anna, of Buffalo, strives only for "simple living, effortlessly portrayed." The campaign, titled "Return to Values," aims to separate the area co-op's milk from its faceless competitors. Its place-centric, farm-centric, and farmer-centric message is intended to appeal to three growing, and only partially overlapping, demographic segments: those who want to eat local produce; to support the local economy; or to identify with rural integrity. The tagline is "Welcome back to the farm." The media buy targets moms 25 to 49 in the Buffalo and Rochester DMAs. TV?airs on broadcast news programming and on the CW network. Print runs in regional newspapers and locavore magazines. Billboards are at both urban and highway locations, and Flash banners appear on local news, plus geo-targeted mom sites. The campaign also includes a relaunched, farmer-focused website, www.upstatefarms.com , and FSIs. Upstate Niagara Cooperative (Upstate Farms), Buffalo, consists of a family of dairy farmers (representing over 360 local farms across Central and Western New York) who care deeply about quality and freshness. Their commitment provides consumers with a line of fresh, wholesome and delicious products, including milk, butter, yogurt, flavored milk and eggnog Cenergy, East Aurora, N.Y., is a full-service brand-activation firm specializing in sports, entertaiment, and consumer packaged goods.

Switzwerland's Pilatus and Frances' Daher-Socata, both manufacturers of business turboprop singles, seem to be having trouble defining time frames for producing larger, twin-engine airplanes, respectively dubbed the PC-24 and the NTX. Both designs are still being worked out on but few details have emerged to date.
The PC-24 was to be unveiled in 2012, according to a Pilatus annual report released earlier this year. This has changed, the company told AIN on Tuesday at the EBACE 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland, and now an announcement is to be made at the EBACE 2013 show–in a year.
In any case, the PC-24 is the only civil project Pilatus design engineers currently have on the drawing boards. It is understood to be a twin-engine design but the company would not say whether it is a jet or a turboprop. If financial numbers are any indication of the project's status, the Swiss firm's research-and-development spending that jumped from CHF49 million ($52 million) in 2010 to CHF67 million ($72 million) last year, a 37-percent increase, could indicate significant activity.
Meanwhile, Daher-Socata engineers have worked hard to evaluate the defunct Grob SPn business-jet program as a possible basis for a Socata product. The three prototypes are at the airframer's Tarbes headquarters in France. The first has flown with Socata test pilots, while the second has been used for system tests on the ground. The third, in a disassembled form, has served a production assessment.
Apparently one sticking point has been estimating the cost of certification for a new derivative development. The company's engineers have performed the bulk of the work, a source close to the project told AIN, while a Daher spokesman said his company is "actively working on the project to meet the economic, market and technical conditions for a program launch." Therefore, he told AIN, no time frame has been set.
Other options, including a clean-sheet development, remain on the table. This could still be a twin-turboprop. However, according to previous statements, Daher would rather find partners than going it alone.

Homerless Kemp showing signs of breaking out
NEW YORK -- Matt Kemp had a pair of three-hit games over the weekend in Baltimore, but he still hasn't hit a homer.
Manager Don Mattingly still thinks it's bad habits, and not a lingering health issue from the shoulder surgery he had at the end of last season.
"If anything, it's probably bad habits from playing hurt," Mattingly said. "We found out it was worse than we thought. I think Matt is healthy. He keeps working on his swing to get back on track. He showed a little life in Baltimore.
"I'd worry about Matt if he wasn't working in the cage every day. He was out early again today. We'll get it worked out and it'll take off."

Arrieta keeps hitters guessing as Cubs win series
Right-hander strikes out seven, gives up just three hits in seven innings
CHICAGO -- The Jake Arrieta summer saga seems to be a running tally on how far he'll take a no-hitter.
That mark reached 4 2/3 innings in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Rockies on Thursday, as Chicago won its first series at Wrigley Field since June 6-8. The streak probably could've gone further had center fielder Junior Lake come up with a diving catch on a Wilin Rosario blooper.
Arrieta allowed consecutive hits to lead off the seventh and loaded the bases with his first two walks, but held the Rockies to one run by forcing a bases-loaded groundout on his 96th pitch.
He posted his 10th straight quality start and trimmed his ERA to 2.11 -- second best in the National League since his debut on May 3 -- on a day when he admitted to not having his best stuff.
"Going in, I felt a little off. In the pen I kind of realized it," Arrieta said. "Just didn't feel like I had a lot of life on my fastball today, but I was able to come out with a good mix of offspeed pitches for strikes below the zone for swings. ... Just changing your looks, not being in patterns of predictability really is what makes things easy for me out there."
Arrieta struck out seven Rockies using four pitches.
"There's times where [pitchers] won't recognize that and continue to try and find their fastball and give up hits, maybe scatter a few hits and give up some runs that maybe shouldn't have been given up," Arrieta said. "That's something I realized early on and was able to mix three other pitches in there."
Arrieta's 10 straight quality starts are a high mark for the Cubs since Steve Trachsel logged 11 in a row in 1994. Arrieta became the first pitcher since 1988 to take a no-hitter into the seventh in consecutive starts when he did so against the Reds and Red Sox in late June.
Arrieta also gave the bullpen a much-needed breather after 20 2/3 innings the last four games, including 12 in Tuesday's marathon win.
"The mindset doesn't change for me much as far as what happened in the past, as far as extra-inning games, relievers being out there," Arrieta said. "But it is a goal of mine to keep those guys out of the game as long as possible."
Chicago scored its three runs in the sixth after loading the bases with no outs. Arismendy Alcantara and Chris Coghlan led off with singles, then Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro drew consecutive walks for the game's first run. Justin Ruggiano followed with a sacrifice fly to center, and Luis Valbuena scored Rizzo on a groundout.
Rockies pitcher Pedro Hernandez allowed six hits and two walks while holding the Cubs scoreless until the sixth, then didn't make it out of that inning. Thursday marked his first start since Sept. 27 of last year with the Twins.
"[Hernandez] kept the ball down those first five innings, then after that he threw a lot of balls," Castro said. "That's when we made an adjustment and got three runs."
The Rockies scored their lone run in the seventh when Nolan Arenado lined a double to left on a full count, bringing home Corey Dickerson from first. Arrieta walked two batters, then got out of a bases-loaded jam on a groundout from DJ LeMahieu. Arrieta's 96 pitches were a low since throwing 90 against Washington on July 6.
"We had a really good idea about what we were going to do and that's what we did today," Cubs catcher Welington Castillo said. "[Arrieta] threw really well."
Hector Rondon came on for the ninth and earned his 14th save. After giving up a pair of leadoff singles, he struck out Rosario and Charlie Culberson looking to seal the win and the four-game series for the Cubs.
"It's not an easy assignment," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of hitting against Rondon. "Rondon is throwing the ball well and he threw some tough pitches to Culberson. He looks like he's going to be pretty good."

In screenwriter Gregory Widen's first novel, Blood Makes Noise, a junior CIA officer and an Argentinian revolutionary each has his reasons for seeking to protect the corpse of Evita Perón.
You mention the "restless journey" of Evita's corpse in your acknowledgments, but what motivated you to base an entire novel around her remains?
There was so much mystery and suspense at the time of her disappearance—not only about where her body might have been hidden, but what secrets she might have been buried with—that it seemed like an obvious framework for a literary thriller. Mid-'50s Argentina was such an interesting time, with spies and coups and revolutionaries, combined with the history of nearly open warfare between the CIA and FBI there during that period—a fascinating story that's never really been told—that I thought it a setting people hadn't read about before.
Your novel is rich in details, ranging from embassy life and procedures to the feel of neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. How did you go about researching?
Lots of footwork. Many of the locations depicted still exist and you can visit them. It always helps to be able to stand in the actual place where something happened. I also had the invaluable help of some current and retired CIA station chiefs who worked in Buenos Aires and knew all the stories, as well as helping with the kind of mundane facts of daily life there as a spook that really helps a writer make a setting feel tangible and real.
There's quite a variety in your screenwriting projects, ranging from Highlander to Backdraft. Have you considered how you could turn this novel into a screenplay?
I honestly wrote a novel because that's how I wanted to tell this story. But sure, the story itself is very cinematic and in many ways more dramatically linear than some movies I've written/directed, like The Prophecy. So, sure, it'd make a great movie.
Where do you think Evita rests today?
Ha, good question. Officially, she's in the Duarte family crypt in Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires, but it's known historically that her embalmer, Pedro Ara, to confuse her enemies, made at least one "spare" head and possibly an "extra" body by surgically altering another corpse. He was famous for those abilities and was known to present at parties the embalmed head of a peasant he'd altered to look like Clark Gable. So who can say if the real Evita is buried there?

A SOUTHEND burger bar is set to open a second diner and cocktail bar in the heart of Leigh this summer.
Henry Burgess, owner of Henry Burgers in Southend's Market Place, has bought Louis XIV bar in Leigh Broadway from the Estuary Pub Company.
The former party venue is set to be transformed into an American-style diner, and cocktail bar with a continental feel.
Mr Burgess said: "The renovation is under way. Everything looks on course so barring something going totally wrong we're very excited to be opening in early June.
"We are aiming for the same feel and atmosphere as we have in Southend. The whole idea is a casual eating place.
"We're not going down the route of other places in Leigh with branded DJ nights. We want it to be about our produce."
Mr Burgess, 32, ran the Sun Rooms for six years before turning it into his own burger bar.
The new venue will have space for 80 to 100 people eating at any one time, with a bar and open feel to downstairs and further seating on the first floor.
Mr Burgess added: "We've removed the bar from upstairs for more seating and moved the one downstairs so it will feel very different."
Mr Burgess hopes to create around 25 new jobs with the venture, which will be open seven days a week serving food from 9.30am to 9.30pm.
Chairman of Leigh Town Council Caroline Parker, welcomed the new business to the town.
She said: "I am sure the young people will love it."

Marks in glass houses (A WWE/TNA blog)
by, 09-19-2011 at 10:45 AM (4689 Views)
So yesterday WWE had yet another dissapointing PPV. Many of us watched it even though we predicted how crappy it would be. That being said I can get to my points:
Title Changes
Let's see John Cena went a whole year last year without being the champion (or so I've read) so naturally WWE had to compensate by making him the champion for the 3rd time in 6 months this year. Of course in the process Super Cena burries legitimate wrestlers making their reigns seem insignificant (ADR and Misterio). Personally I don't see the point in giving ADR the title if they were just gonna have Super Cena take it away again a month later. Feels pretty similar to what they did to Christian even though Christian deserved the belt more and had it a shorter time.
Also in my next dissapointing title match of the night Kelly Kelly beat Beth once again to retain the Diva's title. Poor Beth can't even pull off a win against the horrible Kelly Kelly in her home town so her odds of winning it from Kelly any time soon seem to be nonexistant. After 2 consecutive losses at the hands of Kelly it's clear that the Divas of Doom are all bark and no bite (at least from a storyline angle since they can't pull off a win). I find it dissapointing that some people actually defend Kelly by saying she's gotten better. Am I the only one who thinks that a championship shouldn't be held by someone who's getting better during her reign but by someone who's already good? At this point I can see WWE moving Beth away from the feud with Kelly and having Eve go for the belt next probably winning it (which would be a step up from Kelly's constant botching).
Only title match I was glad to see was Mark vs Orton and mostly because finally after some time Orton wasn't the best and didn't pull off the Super Cena win in the end. Mark Henry may not be the best at promos but anyone can see the man can hold his own and is a good wrestler so it's about time he got his title run. Having his win be over Orton cements him as a main eventer.
Ok so overall the PPV was pretty predictible. Besides the people who seem to always win (John and Kelly) we had Triple H winning. Now I don't know about everyone else but the moment that special stipulation was added to the match I knew HHH was winning it. His run as COO just started and it wans't gonna end that soon. Regardless if people got involved in the match or not in the end he got a clean win over Punk which doesn't help his image at all. While I can see HHH later giving Punk a clean win it might not happen any time soon with his role of COO which leaves Punk looking just like the Divas of Doom (all bark and no bite). The match also featured the surprise return of Nash which everyone had to see coming. I really feel they should've kept the match without that special stipulation and have HHH put over Punk, but either they wanna pronlong this feud (which doesn't need prolonging) or they wanted to show HHH still has it even if he's been gone a while.
I'll admit I didn't predict the John and Kelly wins exactly, but that was the optimist in me thinking maybe WWE would give ADR and Beth an actual chance as opposed to having them lose yet again to the superior (by WWE standards) Jhn and Kelly.
As a side note regarding WWE programming in general does anyone else think Punk's promos have become almost repetitive lately? I mean sure the words are different but the overall message seems to be the same. Seems that ever since his ground breaking promo a while back all WWE wants to do is have him repeat that kind of impact he got, but it's less interesting now because as they say once you've reached the top there's nowhere else to go but down. Can't say anything else is worth mentinoning on this subject so I'll move on.
TNA/Impact Wrestling
TNA is far from perfect I'll say that righ now. They do indeed rehash WWE storylines and feuds, do boring angles and change titles around often. However, I'll also give credit where credit is due and fact is they put on a hell of a show. I have been bored by parts of it and also extremely amused by other parts of it. WWE's no different and it sure has some lame segments that remind me why DVR is so valuable.
Thing is that as a fan of both products who's been labeled as a TNA mark at times merely for pointing out its value I find that the title of my blog is very fitting marks in glass houses because there are some people who while knowing how bad WWE can be at times defend it to the death even justifying what they know is crap all the while attacking TNA for their shortcomings and refuse to acknowledge that maybe in some things TNA is not as bad as they wanna say. Both feds have some bad wrestlers, both feds do boring storylines at times and as proven by Cena and in general the fact that the title has changed hands 7 times this year alone we can see that TNA is not the only place where titles switch hands like a hot potato.
So in closing I'm not saying people should stop watching WWE and watch TNA instead, I'm also not saying everyone who watches WWE should also try watching TNA, all I'm saying is before we start pointing fingers maybe we should look at the faults of the fed we support and realize they're not so different after all.

Carrusca the best A-League import: Kosmina
Gifted Argentine Marcelo Carrusca is beyond mere mortal and will prove the best import to join the A-League, Adelaide United coach John Kosmina says.
Carrusca scored a stunning goal, curling in a one-time left-footer, and created two others in Adelaide's 4-2 thumping of Melbourne Victory on Friday night.
Kosmina said the former Argentina under 20 representative has the "magic touch" and will prove to be the best international pick-up in the A-League.
"I think he will be, eventually," Kosmina said.
"I think he has still got a long way to go in terms of condition.
"He said to me the other week he has done more running here in three months than he has done in three years in Argentina, it's a different type of game over there."
Adelaide hierarchy spotted Carrusca, a 29-year-old from Buenos Aires, on a DVD while scouring Argentina for potential recruits.
"As soon as he came up, we said 'can we do a deal' and we got it done," Kosmina said.
"He has got that magic touch.
"He is one of those players that might give the ball away cheap sometimes.
"But then you look at the quality that you get at the other end of the spectrum and it far outstrips mere mortals I suppose."
Carrusca's top-shelf strike against the Victory was his first in the A-League.
"It was a fantastic goal ... what a finish, a great finish," Kosmina said.
"He can see those kinds of things and a lot of other players don't see that - it's the timing, it's the quality, the way the ball went in."

Lake Tawakoni State Park Receives Donation To Build Restrooms
WILLS POINT, Texas — The Sabine River Authority of Texas has donated $50,000 to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to construct a new restroom facility for overnight campers at Lake Tawakoni State Park.
SRA made the donation in August in exchange for TPWD transfer of the ownership of the park's wastewater treatment plant to the authority. SRA will operate and handle maintenance of the treatment plant that serves the 351-acre park and a small subdivision on the south central lake shore in Hunt County.
"This is a win-win scenario for both agencies and the people of Texas," SRA General Manager Jerry Clark said. "SRA has been partners with TPWD at this state park since its inception and is proud to see its continued development as a premier recreation facility for the public."
State park Superintendent Ken Watson said the new quad-style restroom, which features four separate units each with a toilet, sink and shower, will be located between Campsites 37 and 38 in the White Deer camping loop.
"It will mean a whole lot less down time such as we've experienced with only one restroom facility where folks often had to wait in line for an hour each night while the restrooms were cleaned," Watson said. "We hope to have the new building delivered in February and open by Spring Break."
The state park opened in 2002 after six years in development and almost $3 million in state expenditures to provide greater recreational opportunities in northeast Texas. Lake Tawakoni State Park, which includes day use and overnight facilities, is about a 90-minute drive from Dallas.
The Sabine River Basin covers a large portion of East Texas with a population of roughly 600,000 in all or part of 21 counties, according to U. S. 2000 Census statistics. For more information about SRA, call Ann Galassi at (409) 746-2192.

Topic: need some advice on chemo treatments
Hi everyone, I am currently on cis/gem combo chemo. I have a 3 week cycle, day 1 cis/gem, day 8 cis/gem then 1 week off. I have managed one full cycle, I had pretty much all the side effects from nausea to ringing in the ear and mild hair loss. The next cycle, 5 days after the first treatment I ended up in hospital for 5 days with sepsis so the oncologists cancelled the next session and said they would wait and start a new cycle. I feel like I just can't do it anymore, chemo really sucks!!! Im so sick of being sick. I have an appointment with the oncologist next week to discuss where we go from here. I guess my question is, is this a fairly normal regime to be on? any advice? also I have just found out that I had clear transection margins but an R1 radial margin along the left bile duct. What does this mean???
God Bless

Jan Jelinek, of Cottage Grove, last spoke to her youngest daughter, Danielle, on Saturday, Dec. 8. The 27-year-old called about a new town house in Woodbury that she was interested in and work she wanted done on her car that day.
Older daughter Cory, 31, of Oakdale, heard a different story. She was under the impression that her sister was going to hang out at a female friend's house that night. After all, the daughters and their mother were close, and they never let the sun set on a day without a call, e-mail or text about their plans and life in general.
Then they didn't hear from Danielle, who never stopped by her friend's house. Rather, she visited the home of 28-year-old Aaron Jude Schnagl, with whom she had an on-again, off-again relationship, in Chisago Lake Township.
"It is our presumption that she went to see (Schnagl) to get her car detailed," said Jan in an interview with the Post last week.
What happened that night or early the next morning is a mystery, one that has caused many sleepless nights and sick days ever since for the Jelineks, including father Ed. While they blame Danielle's disappearance on Schnagl, who must know something, they claim, Schnagl remains firm in saying he does not know what happened to her or where she is.
Still, the Chisago County Sheriff's Office says Schnagl is a person of interest in the case, while he's facing unrelated drug charges.
The sheriff's office initially got involved that Sunday, Dec. 9, when the Jelinek family requested a welfare check at Schnagl's home. Uncooperative during the check, he was later arrested for 5th degree drug possession when authorities returned with a search warrant.
During the search, officers found bags containing about 12 pounds of marijuana and items including Jelinek's purse, shoes and cell phone. Also discovered was her car, which was parked outside the residence.
Schnagl was eventually jailed in Anoka County, as a possession crime would violate his probation from a 2006 drug conviction in that county.
On Monday, Schnagl appeared in Chisago County District Court where not guilty pleas were entered to the complaint. An amended complaint also was filed this week adding an additional count. Schnagl is charged with fifth degree sale of marijuana; fifth degree possession of a controlled substance; and aiding and abetting first degree possession of a controlled substance, according to Chisago County Attorney Janet Reiter.
The matter was continued to an omnibus hearing Feb. 11 and trial on March 4. He remains held on his charges.
For the Jelineks, his time in jail on the unrelated drug charge has been a "blessing," they say, since it has kept him behind bars. "That would have killed me if I knew he'd be out free," said Cory with parents Jan and Ed Jelinek at her side.
What happened that night?
Cory owns the Oakdale home where Danielle had been staying. She knows her sister would not have mentioned Schnagl by name to her, since Cory claims there was an unhealthy past between the two.
"So that's obviously our fear," Cory noted. "We know something happened that night, but we don't know what."
Jan thought it was strange Danielle never returned her calls, texts and emails after their phone conversation on Dec. 8. "We spoke every day by phone, text and e-mail. She would call me on her way to work. She knew I was always worrying about her."
On Sunday, Dec. 9, Jan went to early mass and immediately texted both daughters upon arriving home. She sensed something was wrong because she didn't hear from either of them. She then called their cell phones.
"I was anxious; it felt odd," said Jan. "I told Ed, 'something is wrong.'"
Eventually, Cory and her 4-year-old son pulled into Jan and Ed's driveway. "Where were you?" asked her mother. "We can't find Danielle."
A friend of Danielle's arrived at the same conclusion.
Cory then got Schnagl's number, and she called him. "What the hell is going on? Where is she?" she asked him. Another concern was Danielle's use of daily medication for her asthma.
"It didn't add up," said Cory of the information, or lack of information, she and family were receiving about Danielle.
She added, "All day Sunday I just felt sick. I thought she would come back. She always texted or let her family know where she was. She would call or text early in the morning, then go back to bed to sleep in."
Meanwhile, Ed got on the phone with Schnagl and attempted to get his address so he could make the drive north. "He said he was going to call the police about Danielle missing," said Ed. "But he sent us to the wrong place. It was a business."
So Cory called the dispatcher who had the correct address. It was then they requested a welfare check for Danielle at Schnagl's residence.
"It sounds like they were hanging out at Aaron's house Saturday night after they went to dinner," said Cory.
Said Jan, "With Danielle's friends not hearing from her, that was a complete a red flag."
Throughout the ordeal, the Jelinek family has greatly appreciated the Chisago County Sheriff's Office for its time and dedication to the case. They have been meeting off and on since Danielle's disappearance and have been following up on tips and leads that continue to come in to the office.
Law enforcement also is working on accessing the text messages on Danielle's phone for any helpful clues.
"The Chisago County Sheriff's Office has been great," said Jan.
Regarding Danielle
Danielle worked as a manager at Wells Fargo in Maplewood.
Jan described her a very forgiving person, a ball of energy and one who kept herself strong and in great shape. She trained for the Tough Mudder competition, a grueling fitness contest involving a 12-mile run with 20 military obstacles mixed in, in Hudson, Wis. She finished it. It was great for her because of her asthma, she explained.
"She would befriend anybody," added Jan, noting a clerk from a clothing store once talked about Danielle and how she took time out of her life to help her out with a problem. "She was personable."
Mom and big sister said Danielle was very affectionate; she would give people hugs. Customers loved her, said Cory.
Both sisters graduated from Park High School in Cottage Grove.
Perhaps the toughest part for the Jelineks is they don't have closure. While they are accepting the idea that they will never likely see their Danielle alive again, they are hoping for answers and for someone, anyone, to stand up and talk.
"We want justice served. We want him to stand up and be a man, so we can have closure. We can't have a funeral or anything. We feel like we're stuck," Cory stressed.
Cory said the family has had "an incredible support system" with family, friends, church, colleagues and people they don't even know. They have appreciated the volunteers who searched for any signs of Danielle in the days following her disappearance. They have appreciated all the cards, prayers and well wishes in the mail, in person and on Facebook.
"Some people have even offered to bring us meals," said Cory.
She noted, too, her family has been in touch with the Jacob Wetterling Foundation, which helped create and distribute flyers. "They helped us think about things," she said.
And the family is planning a 5K run and memorial service in Danielle's honor some time this spring or summer.
"We already did a vigil with 500 people attending in Woodbury," Cory noted.
As mentioned, the case has had a tough impact on Cory. She has since dropped out of grad school with six months left before graduation in May. She was able to take some time off from work.
"Danielle wouldn't want me to quit," Cory said. "She was a great aunt. She smothered my son in hugs and kisses."

MARTINEZ — Jury deliberations begin Thursday at the trial of a North Richmond man who testified he thought he was shooting at rival gang members when he fired upon a car carrying two young Muslims on an errand for their mosque in 2010.
Nickie Donald, 22, admits he fired the gun that killed 20-year-old El Cerrito resident Asama Ayyad and wounded Ayyad's 15-year-old passenger on June 25, 2010, at the intersection of 22nd Street and Bissell Avenue in Richmond. The victims were on an errand to buy juice for a gathering at the Masjid Al-Noor in Richmond when Ayyad's white Lexus coupe came under fire from Donald, who was driving a van.
Donald's attorney is trying to get him acquitted on a self-defense claim that Donald thought he was shooting at brothers Aaron and Markeith Miles — two central Richmond gang members awaiting sentencing in unrelated murder and attempted murder cases.
In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutor Satish Jallepalli asked jurors to convict Donald of first-degree murder for killing Ayyad, attempted murder for shooting Ayyad's friend and other felony charges for committing a drive-by shooting, shooting into an occupied vehicle and gang participation.
Jallepalli called the shooting an act of revenge, not self-defense, had Donald believed that it was the Miles brothers traveling in that white Lexus. He wanted to "get" the Miles brothers before they "got" him, the prosecutor said.
"The truth is, the defendant's desire, his anger got the better of him," Jallepalli said.
Defense attorney Brooks Osborne said Donald's fear of being shot stems from his experiences growing up in violent Richmond neighborhoods. He's been shot at numerous times, and has a bullet lodged in his brain. Just two weeks before killing Ayyad, he was fired upon by the occupants of a white Lexus.
On the night in question, Donald believed that he and his passengers, including two brothers, were in danger.
"Mr. Donald shot at this white car to protect himself and protect his brothers," Osborne said.

How Aid is Determined
Financial aid includes funds in the form of grants, scholarships, work study or loans that are made available to students and their families. These funds are designed to assist students and their families with college costs.
Aid can be considered either gift aid or self-help aid. Gift aid is awards that do not need to be repaid such as grants and scholarships. Self-help aid includes work study and loans.
Financial aid programs can be offered through the federal government, state government, Grand Valley and other agencies. To be considered for most financial aid programs, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). All students are eligible for some form of financial aid, therefore it is important to file your FAFSA.
Once you have filed the FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that includes your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is what our office will use to determine your financial need at Grand Valley.
To determine your financial need we also have to review your Cost of Attendance (COA). All schools create a COA based on several factors including: tuition, housing, food, books, transportation and personal expenses. These factors will have a different cost at each school. Therefore, the COA is going to be different at each school.
Need Formula
Your financial need is determined by taking your cost of attendance (COA) minus your expected family contribution (EFC). Understanding the cost of attendance, your expected family contribution and financial need will help you understand your award notification.

The Argentine striker has rued his side's physical problems this term, while praising Mateo Kovacic and Mauro Icardi
The Nerazzurri have dropped to seventh spot in the Serie A table after a number of disappointing results, and Palacio feels the absence of key players has hurt the club.
"If you asked me the reason why we've struggled for consistency, I'd tell you that the many injuries we've had play a part and Diego's in particular because he's a player who makes the difference," the striker told Sky Sport 24.
Palacio then went on to praise January signing Mateo Kovacic, while also having his say on Sampdoria youngster Mauro Icardi, who has been linked with a move to San Siro.
He added: "I saw right from the start that Mateo's capable of doing great things, we've improved with him here.
"Icardi's very good although we shouldn't yet think about the future, but simply focus on our remaining matches this season."
Inter are currently preparing for Wednesday's Serie A match versus Sampdoria.

Slashdot Asks: Do You Want a Smart Watch? 381
Watches that do more than tell the time have been around for a long time. (And in fiction, James Bond, Dick Tracey, and Michael Knight all had notably high-tech watches.) The new smart watches from Samsung and LG, without a phone connected via Bluetooth as backhaul, can still serve to show the time and to serve as alarms (and Samsung's can measure your pulse, too), but all the magic features (like searching by voice via the watch) do require a connection. They can't play MP3s or take pictures on their own, and they don't have built-in GPS. Even so, compared to the polarizing Google Glass, the new breed of smart watches are wearables that probably are an easier sell, even if this far the trend has been to replace watches with smart phones. (Android Wear has gotten a lot of attention, but Microsoft has their own upcoming, and Apple almost certainly does, too.) Are you interested in a smart watch, and if so, what uses do you want it for? If they have no appeal to you now, are there functions that would make you change your mind on that front?

Marte released as Tigers make first spring cuts
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Tigers made their first round of Spring Training roster cuts Wednesday morning, sending out eight players and unconditionally releasing right-hander Luis Marte.
Marte hasn't pitched for the Tigers since 2012, when he posted a 2.82 ERA in 22 1/3 innings over 13 appearances. The 27-year-old righty pitched in three games for Triple-A Toledo last year before undergoing season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. Marte was designated for assignment when the Tigers signed outfielder Rajai Davis this offseason.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the decision to release Marte, rather than reassign him, was simply a product of the numbers game.
"He wasn't going to make the big league club, and it was a situation where there really wasn't a spot in Triple-A for him," Ausmus said. "You never want to tell someone that you're releasing them, but the truth is it's better now than later, [because] you have an opportunity to catch on with somebody else.
"He's a great kid, a classy kid. Worked hard. It just wasn't going to work here. Hopefully he can catch on in another organization."
Left-hander Casey Crosby and right-hander Melvin Mercedes were optioned to Triple-A Toledo, while right-hander Jose Valdez and catcher Ramon Cabrera were optioned to Double-A Erie. Right-hander Drew VerHagen, lefties Duane Below and Robbie Ray and catcher James McCann were reassigned to Detroit's Minor League camp.
Ausmus said he and pitching coach Jeff Jones were impressed by VerHagen's mound presence and ability, but the 23-year-old could use more experience. The same could be said for Ray, acquired in the deal that sent Doug Fister to Washington, but Ausmus added that the 22-year-old lefty also needs to refine his secondary offerings before he's Major League-ready.
"I was actually impressed with Robbie," Ausmus said. "He's one of the few guys who has -- we've talked about kind of a swing-and-miss fastball. It plays up a couple miles per hour on the radar gun. But I think it's important for him to not only go down and gain experience, but work on his secondary pitches -- specifically the breaking ball, and see if we can tighten that up. But I certainly liked how he pitched.
"He's definitely close. A lot of it's going to depend on the secondary pitches. If he commands his secondary pitches, he's going to be a Major League pitcher, because his fastball plays in the Major Leagues right now."
After their first wave of spring roster moves, the Tigers have 46 players remaining in Major League camp.

Danica Patrick intrigued by prospect of 16-driver Chase
By Reid Spencer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The notion of a 16-driver field in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup and a possible "win-and-you're-in" format certainly got Danica Patrick's attention.
And it crystallized the game plan of her crew chief, Tony Gibson.
No, NASCAR hasn't announced the specifics of possible changes to the 10-race playoff format, but the unquenchable rumor – based in part on the sanctioning body's preliminary conversations with its stakeholders – is that major change is coming.
Most of the speculation has centered around a 16-driver Chase, with race wins as the path to qualification for the playoff.
"I think that the more drivers in it, the more opportunity," Patrick said Monday during the opening session of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Media Tour hosted by Charlotte Motor Speedway. "And for me, as a new driver in the Sprint Cup Series, that definitely plays into my hand.
"And having some of the qualifications being to win [races], to me, I've been decent on the (restrictor-plate) speedways. Those are also 'anything-can-happen' kind of tracks. So that's exciting. That puts a little bit more of a realistic perspective on it."
For Gibson, it means honing in on the plate tracks. Patrick won the pole for last year's Daytona 500 and was fast during Preseason Thunder testing at the 2.5-mile superspeedway in mid-January.
"She's already proven she can damn sure win one of these restrictor-plate races," Gibson said. "If she can do that and get in this Chase, that's huge. That'd be huge for our sport. We focus hard on every race, but I'm focusing really, really hard on these restrictor-plate races. That's where I feel like I'm going to have my best shot to make the Chase.
"Last year, we knew there was no shot in hell we were going to make the Chase, but now we've got a shot at it. You show me a little bit of a crumb, and I want the rest of the cookie."
Gibson said Patrick was nervous at Daytona as a rookie last year, but this year he expects her to have plenty of drafting partners, including fellow Stewart-Haas Racing drivers Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch.
"I know that we've got four people that like her right now, and I know the Hendrick guys, they like her, too. We were third coming down to get the checkered [flag last year], and we just made one wrong move. If we'd have moved left instead of right, we'd have won the Daytona 500.
"She knows that now. She's logged that in her memory banks. She's going to have more confidence, and she's going to know who will draft with her and who won't draft with her. And when it comes down to those situations again, she's going to push the issue, because, she knows, too, 'This is my shot to get in the Chase.'"
Winning formula?
Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner Gene Haas is flexing his muscles again.
After making a unilateral decision to add a fourth driver (Kurt Busch) to the organization's roster, a move announced last year, Haas has begun the application process for a license to field a team in Formula One, starting in 2015.
From a car owner's perspective, NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing is an expensive sport. Formula One racing is exponentially more expensive.
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone recently questioned whether Haas could afford to operate a Formula One team. Haas acknowledged Monday that the cost was daunting.
"It is," he said. "That's been brought up a number of times. I don't know if we fully understand that, but in the next few weeks we'll have a little better idea."
Haas found Ecclestone's comments casting doubts on his earnest desire to enter F1 "a little disheartening."
"If he's telling me that I'm not going to get a license, I appreciate that," Haas said. "It's better to know it now than, say, later. Maybe he's looking at our application and just didn't think we have it. I don't want to spend a lot of time if I don't have a chance to get a license…
"Maybe he's just trying to warn me about, 'Are you sure you know what you want to do here?' But at the same time, maybe Formula One's not ready for another team. That could be the other part of it."
Strategic alliance
"Do it Yourself" didn't work as a motto for JTG/Daugherty Racing.
Team owners Tad Geschickter, Jodi Geschickter and Brad Daugherty all felt the organization needed a partnership with an established team to propel the single-car organization forward in 2014, the first season with AJ Allmendinger as a full-time driver.
To Geschickter, the choice among potential partners was a no-brainer. He and his co-owners opted for Richard Childress Racing and a switch to Chevrolet. The success Furniture Row Racing had last year as an RCR partner was only a part of the equation.
"I was kind of predisposed anyway," Geschickter said. "Richard has kind of been my mentor. Even 20 years ago, for some reason, when I had a question in the business, he was the guy that would invite me to his office.
"I asked him one day, 'You're awful nice to me – why are you doing all this?' And he said, 'Well, once upon a time I had to sell my living room furniture so my family would have Christmas, and I like what you all are doing, boot-strapping, and I want to help you.'"

A 61-YEAR-OLD woman was seriously injured when her car flipped over on the M62 in West Yorkshire.
The casualty from Bolton was travelling as a passenger when the crash happened near Huddersfield at about 1pm yesterday.
The Toyota Yaris hit the central barrier on the eastbound carriageway near Junction 24, causing traffic chaos between Greater Manchester and Leeds.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said the woman suffered a serious head injury in the crash and was taken to Leeds General Hospital.
The driver and another passenger escaped with minor injuries.
Emergency services were called and both carriageways were shut to allow an air ambulance to land.
Commuters faced delays of more than an hour between Saddleworth, Huddersfield and Leeds as queues stretched back from Junction 24 to Junction 21.
The westbound carriageway reopened at 2pm on Tuesday and the eastbound lanes shortly after 6pm.

UCONN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis delivers in home state
Published 12:00 am, Saturday, December 29, 2012
PALO ALTO, Calif. -- When Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis headed home to her native California, there was a little extra gift waiting for her that was most certainly not on the UConn sophomore forward's Christmas list.
Mosqueda-Lewis was dealing with a stomach bug serious enough that she needed to go to the hospital and have an IV put in to allow her to recover from dehydration. Thankfully for Mosqueda-Lewis and UConn fans, her affliction was a minor one.
By the time the team gathered in California on Wednesday, Mosqueda-Lewis was able to practice without restriction.
By the time Saturday's showdown between the second-ranked Huskies and No. 1 Stanford rolled around, Mosqueda-Lewis was ready to roll.
Not only did she score 12 of her game-high 19 points in the second half and collect six rebounds in a workmanlike 34 minutes, she played a key defensive role in UConn's 61-35 victory.
The most impressive aspect of Mosqueda-Lewis' effort was that the more physical Stanford got with her, the more willing she was to get inside and mix it up. That is a sign that Mosqueda-Lewis' emergence from being merely just a gifted shooter but a well-rounded player.
"At halftime we talked about getting her the ball," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "She's been sick since she left Connecticut, she was in the hospital, she was getting IVs, I don't know if it was the flu or whatever she (had), but I thought in the second half she really responded.
"That just goes to show you how much she changed in one year, how many more things she can do now than she could last year."
Mosqueda-Lewis lit up the Cardinal for 25 points in a win during her freshman season and she delivered once again when the Huskies needed her the most. But it was the Huskies' defense she was most impressed with.
"I think our team is a great defensive team," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "We take a lot of pride in it; we practice it for hours. Coach (Geno Auriemma) harps on it every single day. When you have a head like Kelly Faris who is going 110 percent all the time I think there is really no point where you couldn't stop a team.
"We kind of feed off of our defense if things aren't working for us offensively, We try to get things going defensively whether it is in the press or in the half court."
When the national polls come out on Monday, UConn figures to move into the No. 1 spot following the win over top-ranked Stanford.
Considering the number of times the Huskies have been No. 1, it was not a big deal for the Huskies following the game.
"Stanford beat Baylor and Stanford became No. 1," Auriemma said. "We beat Stanford and now people are going to say that we are No. 1. I think Baylor is probably sitting at home saying we are the real No. 1 and we are going to prove it every time we play. I don't think this time of the year it really matters one way or the other. I didn't see one player in our locker room jumping up and down saying we are No. 1. When they have been there for so many times, a lot of those guys it doesn't faze them."
The scholarship fund set up by UConn to honor victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown as well as their families continues to draw an impressive amount of donations.
Kathy Auriemma, who along with her husband Geno came up with the idea of creating a scholarship as the best way to honor those who died in the shooting in Newtown, said the donations recently surpassed the $600,000 mark.
"When Geno and I first talked about this, one of the things I don't know whether he said it to me or I said it to him, it can't just be us doing something. Let's do something we bring everybody along with us to give people an opportunity to give as well," Kathy Auriemma said. "We are team people. We don't do anything without others, and I have had so many people thank us because we gave them a chance to make them feel like they are a part of it; that they are helping and that is the gratifying part.
The tragedy happened on Kathy Auriemma's birthday and with Geno having planned to surprise for her at a restaurant, it made for some conflicted emotions.
"He had put together this surprise (dinner), we were supposed to meet for dinner and there were a couple of extra friends at the restaurant and I didn't even want to go," Kathy Auriemma said. "It was hard to be happy but them it was good to be together. It is frightening; you can't really protect yourself against it. That is how you feel, you feel helpless."

Microsoft Shouts Antitrust Over YouTube Snub

Dave Heiner
(Source: blogs.technet.com)
Microsoft said FTC isn't doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws
A Microsoft executive has called Google out on the fact that Windows Phone users cannot enjoy
a full YouTube experience
the way Android and iOS users can.
Dave Heiner, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Microsoft, wrote a post about the fact that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws. More specifically, Microsoft is upset that Windows Phone still cannot get a full YouTube app while the competition (Android and iOS) are able.
"Despite government scrutiny, Google continues to block Microsoft from offering its customers proper access to YouTube," said Heiner. "This is an important issue because consumers value YouTube access on their phone: YouTube apps on the Android and Apple platforms were two of the most downloaded mobile applications in 2012, according to recent news reports. Yet Google still refuses to allow Windows Phone users to have the same access to YouTube that Android and Apple customers enjoy. Microsoft has continued to engage with YouTube personnel over the past two years to remedy this problem for consumers.
"As you might expect, it appears that YouTube itself would like all customers – on Windows Phone as on any other device – to have a great YouTube experience. But just last month we learned from YouTube that senior executives at Google told them not to enable a first-class YouTube experience on Windows Phones."
Heiner mentioned that the European Commission has addressed Google's business practices and is working toward a resolution that will keep Google in line, but the FTC, however, is taking it a little too easy on the search giant.
"Meanwhile, in the United States, news reports have stated that the FTC may close its investigation if Google merely makes certain "voluntary commitments" to reform its behavior," wrote Heiner. "Separately, news reports suggest that Google will finally agree to live up to its promises to make its standard essential patents available to all on reasonable terms. Unfortunately, this agreement appears to be less demanding than the pledge the U.S. Department of Justice received from Apple and Microsoft nearly a year ago."
Heiner complained that Microsoft had raised the issue about the full-featured YouTube app almost two years ago, and while the European Commission and the FTC are both investigating the matter, Microsoft wants the matter resolved once and for all.
Microsoft is just one tech company that is consistently targeted by the European Commission regarding antitrust laws.
It started in March 2004 when a European Commission high court found the company guilty of
using tactics to freeze out its competitors
in the media player and server software markets. It was fined
$690 million.
Back in 2008, the EU
fined Microsoft $1.4 billion
for refusing to comply during its legal feud with the EU between
July 2006 and October 2007
. Microsoft was charged
$3.83 million a day for each day of non-compliance
Moving forward to 2009, the EU went after Microsoft again for
tying Internet Explorer to Windows
, and by doing so, Microsoft is "stealing" a unique and unfair advantage.
The EU has been on top of Microsoft throughout 2012, with most problems stemming from
browser choices in Windows 7
and more
browser issues with Windows RT
In December, the Commission began investigating Microsoft's policy
changes in Bing and Hotmail
to make sure they comply with user privacy.

Echinacea Purpurea
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 8, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Echinacea Purpurea Flowers
Echinacea Purpurea has emerged as one of the most popularly used medicinal herbs. Most importantly, it has shown incredible results for fighting and treating certain types of infections. Commonly found in the United States the plant is hardy with tall pink flowers. Echinacea Purpurea comes from the Aster family and is a naturally occurring plant. Echinacea Purpurea is commonly known as coneflower, eastern purple coneflower and snakeroot. Due to its multiple medicinal properties it has gained a lot of importance and is considered endangered in some of the states.
History of the Echinacea Purpurea Flower
Echinacea Purpurea is a very popular plant throughout eastern North America. It has been in use for medicinal purposes for a long time but has gained in importance in recent years. It was the natives and early immigrants to North America who came to know about the usefulness of this hardy plant. In earlier times Echinacea Purpurea was the perfect alternative for standard allopathic medicines and was also used to cure a wide variety of ailments. Some of its main benefits that were discovered long ago are its capacity to stimulate white blood cells, stimulating the lymphatic system and helping to fight Colds and flu.
Ancient Uses of Echinacea Purpurea Flowers
Echinacea Purpurea has been in use by humans from a long time but very little was known about its other benefits and uses. Commonly used for fighting colds and flu, not many of the properties of Echinacea Purpurea were known to the Native Americans. Some other ancient uses of Echinacea Purpurea were to cure sour throat, cough and inflammations, tooth and gum pains as well as to treat wound and infections. Due to lack of technology it was only the external benefit that was visible to its users and hence it was used to treat only the symptoms of diseases that appeared and could be recognized easily.
Modern Uses of Echinacea Purpurea Flowers
Echinacea Purpurea has gained in popularity in recent years due to its numerous medicinal values. With enhancements in technology and research, Echinacea Purpurea has shown tremendous effects for boosting a person's immune system naturally. It enhances the functionalities of the white blood cells and is very effective in treating chronic fatigue syndrome. The body can easily recover from infections and this is why it has found its place in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Some of the new discoveries of the beneficial effects of Echinacea Purpurea are stifling allergic reactions, fighting off colds and the flu, acting as an antiviral, killing off fever blisters, treating the symptoms of HIV/AIDS, helping with asthma and speeding up the overall healing process. If taken during the first signs of illness, Echinacea Purpurea can provide relief almost instantly and quick recovery is almost gauranteed.
Side Effects of Echinacea Purpurea Flowers
Since Echinacea Purpurea is an immunity boosting herb hence there are very few side effects associated with its usage. However, conditions such as autoimmune disorder sometime show an adverse effect. And it is also advisable to note if there is any irritation that is caused while using the medicine so it can be discontinued before any further damage takes place.
