Topic: Chemotherapy
Hey, I have posted some stuff about my sister with her Stage IV metastasized Bile Duct Cancer. She is anticipating starting chemo here soon and I was just wondering what the side effects are. How do people feel while they are on chemo. I am really worried for her. Are they able to chemo if they are anemic?
Thanks for any advice.

Big ethanol production may have boosted corn prices Wednesday. Corn futures bounced from fresh five-month lows yesterday and remained strong overnight. Bulls were probably pleased as well by the weekly EIA report stating last week's ethanol production at a record high (due to rising gasoline prices). That implies robust corn demand. July corn gained 2.75 cents to $4.415/bushel in late Wednesday trading, while December stalled at $4.395.
News of a sizeable export sale likely supported nearby soy futures. Despite recent talk of reduced bean demand, the USDA announced this morning that 140,000 tonnes of 2013/14 beans had been sold to an unknown destination. Resurgent palm values are boosting the oil market, but new crop prices appear to be suffering from expectations for a big fall crop. July soybeans rebounded 10.75 cents to $14.09/bushel as Wednesday's CBOT pit session ended, while July soyoil ran up 0.45 cents to 40.13 cents/pound, and July soymeal lifted $2.5 to $453.2/ton.
Kansas harvest data probably sparked wheat gains. An early report from the Kansas Wheat Commission indicated low yields and harvester problems with short stalks and mud. That news very likely powered today's sizeable Kansas City rally, as well as more moderate gains at the Chicago and Minneapolis exchanges. July CBOT wheat futures climbed 5.25 cents to $5.87/bushel at Wednesday's close, while July KCBT wheat jumped 15.25 cents to $7.2775 and July MWE futures surged 13.5 to $6.9725.
Bearish seasonal expectations seemingly depressed cattle futures. The Chicago cattle market seemed to lose its upward momentum Tuesday as traders anticipated traditional early-summer price weakness. Soaring beef supported prices overnight, but bears returned in force today. August cattle settled 0.70 cents lower at 145.02 cents/pound Wednesday afternoon, while December dove 1.57 to 149.22. Meanwhile, August and October feeder cattle future plummeted the daily 3-cent limit to 204.85 and 205.70 cents/pound, respectively.
Hog futures posted general losses despite supportive data. Tuesday's cash and wholesale reports indicated across-the-board gains, but that seemingly did little to diminish the big losses posted in early CME action. Midday reports were less friendly, but futures bounced from early lows. That apparently reflected technical buying after futures held above chart support. August hog futures tumbled 0.95 cents to 127.45 at their Wednesday settlement, while December slumped 0.60 cents to 94.25.

text: Ruling on cigarette ads spotlights cancer risks By Megan Workman November 29, 2012 Story Share Kyle Slagle CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Cigarette companies spent $12.4 billion -- more than $34 million a day -- on advertising in the United States alone in 2006.But the head of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department said he welcomes a federal judge's ruling earlier this week that major tobacco companies must run more advertisements -- this time admitting that they "deliberately deceived the American public about the health effects of smoking," the judge said.U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ordered tobacco companies on Tuesday to publish an advertising campaign saying they lied to the public about the addictiveness of cigarettes.The advertisements will run for up to two years. What type of media and how much the campaign will cost is still under consideration.The tobacco companies will "no doubt appeal" the decision, said Dr. Rahul Gupta, executive director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department.Gupta said, "it's important that now the federal judge is recognizing" the companies' lies."[Tobacco companies] are going to have to pony up and let the American people know that they did not have the American people's interest in their heart when they were trying to push a product on them, which is obviously harmful and may be responsible for millions of deaths," Gupta said Thursday.Gupta said Kessler's ruling Tuesday is "a good step forward in understanding and trying to advocate for a tobacco-free West Virginia."The corrective statements ordered by Kessler acknowledge the adverse health effects of smoking."Smoking kills, on average, 1,200 Americans. Every Day." is one statement the companies would be required to use.Another -- "All cigarettes cause cancer, lung disease, heart attacks and premature death -- lights, low tar, ultra lights and naturals. There is no safe cigarette." -- blatantly express the dangers of smoking cigarettes. 'Lung cancer synonymous with smoking'Smoking cigarettes contributes to 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in men and 80 percent in women, according to the American Lung Association. Lung cancer is, by far, the leading cause of cancer death among men and women, according to the American Cancer Society. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. "Lung cancer is synonymous with smoking," Gupta said. "Lung cancer has a very predominant cause. Smoking, smoking and smoking are the top three causes."The leading cause of death and disease in West Virginia is tobacco use, according to the state Division of Tobacco Prevention.Nearly 27 percent -- almost 10 percent more than the national average -- of West Virginia adults smoke cigarettes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."We know we are No. 1 in tobacco use across the country," Gupta said of West Virginia.In 2012, the American Cancer Society estimates that about 226,160 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed (116,470 in men and 109,690 in women).More than 160,000 people will die this year from lung cancer. November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month.Gupta said lung cancer is unique because "not only is it prevalent, but it is also avoidable."For a lot of the cancers, we don't understand the reason people get them," Gupta said, "but lung cancer can be prevented in the first place from not smoking and not being around smoke."Nonsmokers have a 20 percent to 30 percent greater chance of developing lung cancer if they are exposed to secondhand smoke, the ALA stated. Exposure to secondhand smoke is blamed for 3,400 lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers every year.Cigarettes contain more than 4,800 chemicals, 69 that are known to cause cancer, according to the ALA.Not every person who gets lung cancer is a smoker, though, and not all smokers develop lung cancer. Ten percent of lung cancer patients are exposed to other risk factors.The second leading cause among nonsmokers is exposure to radon, an invisible gas, according to the ALA.Working in occupations that expose people to asbestos can lead to lung cancer, Gupta said.He said there are no specific signs to look for when detecting lung cancer because most of them -- continuous coughing, repeated cases of pneumonia and difficulty breathing -- are symptoms that occur with other diseases, too. 'Why take a 50/50 chance?'Michelle Stevens, mission delivery account manager for the state American Cancer Society chapter, asks those who do smoke cigarettes: "Why take a 50/50 chance on your life?"Why would you take your life at such a high risk just to [smoke cigarettes]? If you try it just one time, you could get addicted," Stevens said. "So why would you want to risk in trying it, becoming addicted for life and taking your life at risk?"Seven out of 10 smokers do want to quit, Gupta said.It's not that people who smoke don't know it's bad for their health, he said, it's the fact that they are addicted."We have to help them," he said.People who don't get treatment and do develop lung cancer have several options, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, Gupta said.For those who want to quit now, though, there are numerous options. Counseling, nicotine-replacement products, such as patches and gum, and meeting with a doctor are a few options, he said.The West Virginia Quitline, 1-877-966-8784; The American Cancer Society, 1-800-227-2345; the state Division of Tobacco Prevention, 1-304-356-4193; or the American Lung Association's website, www.lung.org/stop-smoking, are available, too."We have to try to get people to quit, but when they want to quit, they should have everything available to them. They shouldn't have to spend an arm and a leg if they want to quit," Gupta said. "We have to be there for them. Even though people want to quit, quitting is the hard choice and continuing to smoke is the easy choice. We have to make quitting the easy choice for smokers."Reach Megan Workman at email@example.com or 304-348-5113.

text: WVU's rise in the polls began with a meeting in Stillwater, Okla. By Mitch Vingle October 10, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- IF YOU'RE A West Virginia University football fan, you've been absolutely bathing in new and wonderful experiences this season.There's the new conference. The victory at Texas. The Heisman Trophy front-runner in Geno Smith. There's the coach, Dana Holgorsen, who is up for the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award.And Mountaineer athletic director Oliver Luck remembers how it was all hatched - from a meeting in a Stillwater, Okla., hotel conference room."I distinctly remember I was out west for one of my son's games at Stanford," Luck said. "I flew to Kansas City for a Jerry West Hall of Fame induction and, afterward, around 8 o'clock, I made the four-hour drive to Stillwater. The next day we met."Luck, that is, and Holgorsen, then the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oklahoma State."Dana carved out four or five hours," Luck said, "and we sat in that conference room and talked a lot of football, a lot of theory."Luck is fluent in football. He's a former WVU and NFL quarterback. The NFL trusted him to work their overseas operations of NFL Europe. Yet on that 2010 day, newly charged with reviving West Virginia's athletic program, Luck was on a quest: improve the Mountaineer football program."I operated from a couple of tenets," Luck said. "I realized we needed to improve our offense. I'm a big believer in offense ... In college ball, offense is crucial and that's what people want to see and will pay to watch."Luck had lived in Texas for many years, first while as a Houston Oilers quarterback then as a law student at the University of Texas. Later, he was the president of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamos. All the while, his son, Andrew, now guiding the Indianapolis Colts, was moving through the ranks in the Lone Star State."Spending time in Texas, I watched Andrew first in middle school and then high school," Luck said. "I saw the training, the 7-on-7 camps, how important offense was. I mean, think of the skill in that [WVU-]Baylor game. With all those passes thrown, there was one dropped pass. That's incredible. And at that time, that's what I was looking for."As I analyzed our program, I saw we were ranked No. 60 or 70 nationally. You can't win conference championships - I don't care what conference you're in - unless you are somewhere in the top 10 in offense." WVU finished the 2010 season ranked No. 67 in total offense, averaging 372.7 yards. Today, the Mountaineers are No. 3 nationally, averaging 570.8 yards, and are ranked No. 4 in the USA Today coaches poll and No. 5 in the Associated Press poll."My thought was we needed someone who could teach offense, who could coach offense," Luck said. "My thought was the Hal Mumme, Mike Leach, Art Briles type of offense would be very hard for Big East teams to stop. And the name at the top of my list was Dana."The two hadn't met, however, until that day in late 2010. Although Luck had been in the soccer business until taking over at WVU, he continued to follow and stay involved in football."I knew in my heart of hearts Dana could move our offense," Luck said. "My question was, could he be a head coach? Well, I had a relationship with both [former Holgorsen bosses] Mike Leach and Kevin Sumlin, two guys I admire greatly. They both told me, 'He's ready; he's absolutely ready.'" Then came the meeting, the face-to-face, in that Stillwater room. "I didn't really talk personnel to Dana," Luck said. "I knew because of his coaching connections that he could make one phone call and find out about our players."So I explained what kind of opportunity we had. I told him we might have a small state, but we have a deep and passionate fan base. I told him we have a fan base with a chip on its shoulder. Seems we always have to punch above our weight. We're the southernmost northern school and the northernmost southern school. I told him, unlike some of the schools in Texas, we're No. 1 in our state."I told him about our facilities, [basketball coach Bob Huggins] and all we have to offer. I told him people will rally around you like you've never seen."Especially when you win. And especially when you win like Holgorsen.Luck recalled he didn't try to oversell WVU to Holgorsen during that meeting. "I was trying to be upfront with him about the opportunity," said the athletic director. "I knew he was blunt within two minutes of meeting him. I was explaining the opportunity and he was trying to understand. I think he appreciated that I was a football guy."Luck said Holgorsen was invited to see WVU's facilities and, about a week later, flew into Pittsburgh, where Luck picked him up. The athletic director drove Holgorsen to Morgantown, gave him a tour and introduced him to school president Jim Clements.Thankfully, Luck admitted, Morgantown has changed since he played and was graduated."You couldn't have done this back then," Luck said. "People talk about infrastructure that's built to attract athletes. It is. But it matters for coaches too."Soon, the deal was completed. Holgorsen was put in place to follow head coach Bill Stewart, who was subsequently removed before tragically passing away at age 59.Now, in Holgorsen's second year as head coach, the Mountaineer season has been wildly successful so far. WVU football has never received so much national attention. Smith is a solid Heisman front-runner and possible No. 1 NFL draft pick."I had a coach in high school," Luck said, "that taught me to envision making great plays, whether they be free throws or that post pattern. You not only train your body, but your mind."In football, I was limited, so I did that. I continue to do that. I did that with the NFL in Europe. I did that with soccer. I'm doing that now."One has to wonder, however, whether Luck's visions could ever have covered all that's happening now with WVU's football program."I'm not going to answer that," Luck said. "But I will tell you I spend most of my time thinking how things can be, as opposed to why things can't be."It's a system that's working beautifully for WVU's football program.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

MAC Pigment Reviews
Extreme ColorIt does indeed take awhile to get used to the "fallout" from MAC pigments (you learn to cover your clothing and anything which can be hard to clean). But you can't ignore these amazing, intensely pigmented shadows. There are amazing colors like "White Gold" (white pearl mixed with gold), "Deep Blue Green" (an unusually rich pearlized shade), and "Deep Purple" (a blackened burgundy). I haven't w...read moreorn these wet yet; I find the color deep enough just using it dry. I love the ability to blend the powders to come up with my own personalized shade (named "Gigi," of course!). MAC puts a lot of powder in these little containers, making the purchase price a little less painless. These are a dream for beginners or full-fledged makeup artists! — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Multi purpose, but messy.I have a MAC pigment in "Milk," which is a shimmery very pale lilac with a hint of pink. The texture seems to be a little bit less smooth (maybe even a touch gritty) compared to other pigments. It is VERY VERY shimmery. Applied dry, it looks like it does in the jar. Applied wet, it becomes really intense—the finish looks a bit metallic. These are a little messy to use, as there is usually...read more a bit of fallout (that seems to be the nature of most loose powders though). One of the major selling points of this product is its versatility. You can add it to nail polish (clear or colored polish), or lip gloss, to create new shades (I personally haven't tried these options myself, I've only used it as a loose shadow). Some colors can be used as blush or bronzer or as a contour shade. You can apply it dry or wet, which enhances the color (apply wet with a brush using water, MAC Fix+ or a mixing medium—MAC Pro makes one but you can find recipes to make homemade mixing medium online). The product is very pigmented. The packaging is a plastic container with a screw top lid and a plastic cover inside. Every time I open it I tend to get pigment on my fingers... putting it into a sifter container might help. OR, find a tutorial on how to press pigments so that they're like pressed shadows (it's a little messy, and you'll have to get the materials, but it's not too difficult). There is way more product than I will ever use. If you're going to buy this, you should probably get a shade you'll wear almost daily—one jar of pigment is three times the amount of one shadow (I have yet to totally use up a shadow, but that's because I wear different colors almost every day). If it's something that you'll actually use, then it's a great value since one jar of pigment costs roughly the same as one single pressed eyeshadow. If I found a HG color, I'd probably buy it and press it into pans. Until then, I'm a little underwhelmed by these. — 6 years, 2 months agoLipglossandSpandex | 521 reviews

extremely pigmentedMAC pigments are the most amazingly vibrant eyeshadows. They are extremely versatile and there are many ways to use them.

The textures are a little different color to color, but not in a bad way. The only drawback to using thses is you have to be careful because they can have a little fallout, but that is really insignificant to me. They come in so many colors that I have a hard time picking out a favorite, they have so many beautiful selections to choos from. Anyone could find a colr or finish to suit them, they have so many to choose from. My problen is that they are so pretty I have a hard time deciding between the one's I want at the MAC counter. I wish I were wealthy enough to get one of each, it would be so much easier. As far as expense goes, because these are so highly pigmented that you don't have to use a lot of product. Based on my comparison to the L'Oreal HIP Loose Pigment Powders, MAC is less expensive gram for gram. I feel I more than got my moneys worth. — 7 years, 10 months agolesa5363 | 352 reviews

Former campaign manager charged by feds in Philadelphia
John McDaniel, the former campaign manager for Philadelphia Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown is accused of stealing about $100,000 from the councilwoman's campaign account. McDaniel has already lost his job as an assistant managing director at Philadelphia International Airport.
"Mr. McDaniel was the treasurer of the councilperson's campaign account, the information charges that he withdrew funds through ATM withdrawals and bank account withdrawals and also at times wrote checks to himself and progressive agenda a political action committee he controlled and got funds in that respect," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Gray.
Gray says McDaniel was able to cover up the withdrawals.
"Since he was the treasurer of the committee he concealed the theft of his funds by filing false campaign reports on behalf of the committee," said Gray. "At times he neglected to put on there cash withdrawals and ATM withdrawals also exaggerated legitimate expenses and made up some nonexistent cash expenditures to conceal his theft of the funds."
McDaniel's attorney declined to comment, which often means the suspect is cooperating with authorities.
It's alleged McDaniel wasn't just covering his tracks. In a settlement with the Philadelphia ethics board, Councilwoman Reynolds Brown admitted that McDaniel concealed how she used campaign funds to repay a personal debt.

If you haven't visited Gluten Free Registry.com before, now is the perfect time to check out the great resources available through their site. Not only can you find gluten free friendly restaurants all over the country, you can also find information on gluten free brands, new products and support groups for everything related to the gluten free diet.
We thought the site was pretty special and partnered with them to host a restaurant recipe contest. This contest is a little different, as it required participating restaurants to create a gluten free menu item using Bob's Red Mill products and offer that item or dish for a month. The contest is in full swing. We have 10 restaurants participating and the dishes they've created are drool-worthy to say the least. Here's where it gets really exciting, each restaurant was required to submit a photo and their recipe for the contest.
With only 10 restaurants, it's not too likely that you'll find one in your area to visit during the contest period, but you can help us pick the winner. Head on over to GlutenFreeRegistry.com and vote! You can vote once a day for your favorite dish and get some of the great recipes that have been submitted. Voting closes on August 14th.
If you forget to snag one of the lovely recipes, we'll be putting them all on our website when the contest ends.

I'm sure this thread will get closed like all the otehrs, but why do you keep shutting these threads down? They are legitimate concerns obviously felt by more than a few people here. No one is getting hasty or out of control in here, and it's not disrupting the general population on PD. Why can't the admins explain their position instead of just deleting threads?
Personally, I didn't see where anyone was being hurt or offended by anything in the counting thread or anything N8R or whoever else has said. Obviously, someone could have PMed you guys, which I wouldn't know about, but I agree with SoupisGood, it seems like an awful lot of power posturing going on by admins. To me, it seems as if their action is causing more unrest and problems than anything said/done in the Market Square. I really am not trying to call anyone out here, but SiG really raised some good questions and concerns about Hicks. I know you are the founder, but it really seems like you are tossing around your power a little too much. Again, just another opinion, I have no horse in this race. I didn't really like the counting thread, but I don't think it really bothered anyone either.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has ruled himself out of the running to replace Andy Flower as head coach but admits he may be interested in the role in the future.
Flower stepped down last week following the disastrous tour of Australia which saw England surrender the Ashes in a 5-0 whitewash and then slip to defeat in the following 50 and 20-over series.
Limited-overs coach Ashley Giles has emerged as the frontrunner to take over the reins with former India and South Africa coach Gary Kirsten also linked with the post.
Vaughan, who now works as a pundit, has little coaching experience but, while he admits he may not be ready to assume the top job at the moment, he would like to be involved with the national side in some capacity.
"I think there are many ex-players who would love an involvement," he told BBC Radio Five Live.
"There's many of us who watched in Australia and care passionately about the team, care passionately about what the game of cricket needs and requires and the entertainment value that we would hope that all teams around the world would bring.
"Of course if I get a call, and someone says to me 'would you like some involvement in trying to help English cricket move forward?'. Absolutely.
"But would I want to be the head coach: probably not."
On future ambitions he added: "I don't think you can ever rule that out.
"I'm only pretty young and you just never know where life is going to take you but at this stage I would really think that it is not the right time for me to be the coach of the England team."
Vaughan played 82 Test matches for England between 1999 and 2008, captaining the side to a famous Ashes victory in 2005.

10 Things in Your Car You Didn't Know You Could Fix
This car takes driver coaching to the extreme, with an Eco mode that varies the resistance on the gas pedal to encourage you to accelerate slowly. The M35h will also count and display all the miles that the car has driven on electricity alone. In our test car's case, it was more than 2000 miles for the life of the car at a time when the Infiniti had been driven 16,000 total miles. That certainly makes you feel good as a driver: It means 1 out of every 8 miles we drove in the Infiniti burned no gasoline. The dash has a graph that displays six 2-minute intervals of fuel-economy performance, showing the driver how he's driven in the past 12 minutes and how much electricity he's regenerated, in watt-hours. We averaged around 30.
This complex-looking double bar graph shows 1-minute fuel-economy averages for every minute of a 16-minute trip. Mirrored below the fuel-economy bars you see the percentage of electric assist and other high-tech hybrid functions. This setup focused our attention on trying to improve the mpg, but the system isn't quite perfect. We found that a minute is too long to wait for immediate feedback yet too short to be helpful on a longer trip.

Roosevelt High School Student Escapes Family Pain in Triumph of Spirit
SIOUX FALLS – A Roosevelt High School student who overcame tough odds has been awarded a scholarship for his Charles Dickens-like backstory.
Jacob Lindamood is one of 106 students to be awarded the 2013 Horatio Alger National Scholarship out of about 40,000 applicants. The awards pay $4,000 a year for five years of college. Winners also get a trip to Washington in April to participate in the National Scholar's Conference.
The scholarship is meant to honor young adults who have overcome difficult childhoods.
Cathy Lindamood is Jacob's aunt. She tells the Argus Leader (http://argusne.ws/UEqOCT ) that her nephew's story was bleak. One parent was addicted to drugs, while the other died of lung cancer in 2008.
Rhonda Kemmis, Jacob's speech teacher, says he's remarkable and will have an "extraordinary life."

Ratings for Dr. Carmelo S. Sgarlata
When we began our journey through infertility, we met with three doctors at different clinics. As soon as we met Dr. Sgarlata, we knew that he was the doctor that we wanted to take care of us. Dr. Sgarlata was knowledgeable, straightforward, and very caring. He listened and guided us into making the best decisions possible for our situation. We felt very supported by the entire staff. Our nurse, Patti, was incredible! She was not only invested in our physical needs, but our emotional needs as well. Even though our first cycle was not successful, the staff was very supportive and sensitive. We made a plan with Dr. Sgarlata to move forward in a way that worked for us. Our next cycle was successful, and we are now expecting our first baby! We are so grateful to Dr. Sgarlata and the excellent care that we have received at RSC. We will be back in the future for siblings!
He is an excellent doctor with lot of dedication in his work. His staff is very professional and caring. Always responds to call/voicemails/emails promptly. I am very impressed with them.
My best experience with any doctor is with Dr. Sgarlata. He is very kind and caring - and best of all he has a sense of humor. He is very knowledgeable and always answers your questions without making you feel like you're wasting his time. His office staff is the best. Calls are always returned promptly - either by the nurse or by the doctor himself. I would highly recommend Dr. Sgarlata if you're looking for an excellent RE.

Saints let a two goal lead slip as they drew 2-2 against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in the first game of the post-Nicola Cortese era.
After a week where Saints had been in the headlines for the resignation of their executive chairman and the appointment of club owner Katharina Liebherr to the board they had complete and utter domination of the majority of the game against the Black Cats and could have had it easily sewn up by half time.
They paid the price for failing to do that as goals from Jay Rodriguez and Dejan Lovren were cancelled out by strikes from Fabio Borini and Adam Johnson as it ended all square.
To make things worse both Gaston Ramirez and Lovren were stretchered off towards the end with very serious looking ankle injuries.
Sunderland went into the game brimming with confidence after the 4-1 victory at Fulham and anticipating Wednesday night's Capital One Cup semi-final, second leg trip to Manchester United.
But to Poyet's horror, what unfolded during the opening 45 minutes was the antithesis of what he had seen at Craven Cottage as slick Southampton out-thought, out-muscled and out-played his side.
With Jack Cork anchoring the midfield, Steven Davis, Morgan Schneiderlin and Adam Lallana had the freedom to exploit the space between the red and white lines, and the visitors threatened to run riot.
They took the lead when Rodriguez made the most of Marcos Alonso's failure to clear his lines, teeing himself up to fire firmly into the bottom corner from the edge of the box with goalkeeper Vito Mannone helpless.
It could have been 2-0 with 18 minutes gone when Johnson deflected Luke Shaw's cross on to the post with Mannone wrong-footed, and Lambert wasted a glorious opportunity three minutes later when he shot across the face of goal from Schneiderlin's pass.
Rodriguez should have doubled his tally with 29 minutes played when Rickie Lambert robbed Wes Brown after the defender took a poor first touch and fed him, but he shot tamely at Mannone.
But the keeper was beaten again two minutes later when central defender Lovren met Davis' corner ahead of Brown and volleyed home.
However, seconds later Johnson crossed from the right for Borini to control and scuff a shot past keeper Artur Boruc, who got a hand to the ball, but could not keep it out.
The Saints continued with their progressive approach in the second half and Davis fired over from distance full-back Shaw was allowed to run from his own half and thump a shot into Mannone's midriff.
Fellow defender Calum Chambers called up Mannone once again with a speculative 55th-minute effort, and the Italian needed two attempts to collect Rodriguez's effort seconds later after Schneiderlin and Lallana had capitalised on Brown's wayward pass.
The keeper denied Lovren and Shaw again within seconds as the hour-mark arrived, and he was relieved to see Rodriguez fire into the side-netting under pressure from Phil Bardsley after Lallana and Lambert had combined.
Borini thought he had levelled after being played in by substitute Craig Gardner with 64 minutes gone, but he did so from an offside position and the strike was correctly chalked off.
But they were not to be denied and Gardner was the provider once again with 19 minutes remaining when he fed Johnson on the right and saw him smash a rising shot past Boruc's less than effective defences and into the roof of the net.
The Poland international saved from Gardner and fellow substitute Steven Fletcher in quick succession as Sunderland went for broke, and it was the Saints who were more grateful to hear the final whistle after having substitute Ramirez and Lovren carried off within seconds of each other.

New York -- The latest data from Nielsen shows the number of U.S. convenience stores continues to expand and last year set a new record with 149,220 units.
That figures is up 1,094 units from the prior year so the increase amounts to only a 0.7% gain, according to the 2013 National Association of Convenience Stores/Nielsen Convenience Industry Store Count. Even so, the growth is noteworthy at a time when overall expansion of selling space in the broader retailer industry has remained stagnant even though the recession officially ended in 2009.
The convenience retailing industry continues to be dominated by single-store operators, which now account for nearly 63% of all convenience stores, but the fastest growing segment of the industry is among operators with more than 500 stores. The store count among companies with more than 500 units grew by 8.9% to 21,738 stores, compared with the less than 1% growth that saw units operated by independents increase to 93,819 stores.
Convenience stores now account for 34.8% of all retail outlets in the United States, according to Nielsen, and the total count of slightly more than 149,000 units is double what it was in 1982.

Katherine, 16, honoured for community work with other young people
12:30pm Friday 25th April 2014
By Sarah Yates
12:30pm Friday 25th April 2014
By Sarah Yates
THE WINNER of the Individual Nairac Award has been chosen due to her devoted attitude to helping others.
Katherine Frusher, 16, is a Young Leader with the 3rd Rodborough Brownies working towards becoming a fully qualified adult leader and despite the sudden death of her best friend and fellow Young Leader two years ago, she continued to commit to her Brownie unit, not missing one meeting or event.
The youngster received the award of a silver salver to keep for a year, a framed certificate and a cheque for a charity of Katherine's choice.
Dame Janet Trotter, Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for Gloucestershire and Patron of the Gloucestershire Branch of The Royal Society of St George presented the award during their 36th St George's Day Service in Gloucester Cathedral on Wednesday, April 23.
Katherine, from Rodborough, volunteers on the staff team at Malvern Challenge, a huge Scout and Guide camp held annually on Cleeve Hill, where last year she helped marshal car parking for 3,000 participants and their parents.
At school Katherine supports a younger girl with Asperger's but is currently coaching a replacement as she will leave the school in July.
Since recently qualifying as a GB Level 1 Coach in Archery she has also qualified as an 'Arrows' archery coach and takes adapted archery equipment to groups in Stroud, Dursley and Gloucester, encouraging girls aged 5 – 10 to try a new sport.

The highest impact T20 Internationals player in its (limited) history (minimum 15 matches) is Shahid Afridi. A 1-1 series result in this T20 series was achieved through a quintessential all-round performance from him in the second match.
Here is an overview of the T20 series through the Impact Index lens.
Sohail Tanvir (for his 4 wickets at an economy of 3.4) got the Man-of-the-Series award. However, Nuwan Kulasekara (4 wickets at an economy of 3.7), despite a slightly slower Bowling IMPACT was marginally higher overall primarily because of his innings of 6 off 6 balls in the low-scoring first match where his partnership with a rampant Thisara Perera took the score from 89-7 to a match-winning 132. But fine details like these are often missed in such situations – but Kulasekara should have been the Man-of-the-Series. Both performed at a much higher level than their T20I career Bowling IMPACT - 1.36 (Kulasekara) and 1.39 (Tanvir).
Amongst bowlers who played both matches, Sohail Tanvir was the highest impact bowler of the series – he had the highest Economy IMPACT in the series. His 3-12 in 4 overs in the 1st game was the highest impact bowling performance in the series.
Yasir Arafat, Nuwan Kulasekara and Mohammad Sami
were the bowlers who had a Pressure Building IMPACT (quick wickets that kicked in pressure for the opposition) in the series. Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera were the only bowlers who broke set partnerships.
The highest impact batsman of the series was Lahiru Thirimanne – even though he got 48 runs at an average of 24, whereas Shahid Afridi got 53 runs at an average of 53. Thirimanne was the only batsman who had a 0% failure rate amongst those who played both matches – he registered an impact in all batting parameters – especially strike rate and pressure – interesting, given their often complementary roles.
Six batsmen absorbed pressure while batting in the series – Kumar Sangakkara, Lahiru Thirimanne, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez and Thisara Perera - a neat division of 3 each in a close series.
Angelo Matthews and Shahid Afridi were the only two players who produced all-round performances in the series. Matthews delivered in both matches whereas Afridi was outstanding only in the second match. The latter's match-winning performance in the second game (52 off 33 balls; 2 for 17 in 4 overs) gave him the highest performance of the series (Match IMPACT 12.50) which was almost double the impact of the second-highest impact performance in the series by Matthews in the 1st match (9 off 25; 2 for 8 in 4 overs; Match IMPACT 6.60).
Yasir Arafat
(3 for 18 in 3.2 overs) and Lasith Malinga (2 for 12 in 3 overs) played just 1 match each but performed creditably.
The impact registered by the players was closely divided between both teams. Something that is reflected even further in the Team IMPACT numbers of both teams – an identical 1.96 each. This was a really close series – even more than the 1-1 result suggests.

University of Colorado Boulder officials are urging CU fans to show sportsmanship and take buses or carpool with a designated driver to the 4 p.m. Rocky Mountain Showdown football game with Colorado State University on Sunday, Sept. 1.
"The Rocky Mountain Showdown with CSU is a great rivalry on the field, but off the field it's a chance to showcase the achievements of our two great universities," said CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano. "In that spirit, we both want our student bodies and fans to be safe, be respectful of one another, demonstrate sportsmanship and represent our two universities with pride and character at all opportunities."
Leaders from CU Student Government also are urging students to show school spirit in a respectful and responsible manner. "On Sunday, with our students, our players and notably our reputation on such a public platform it is imperative that we hold our heads high with dignity and conduct ourselves in a manner befitting our name," the tri-executives said in a statement.

Officers will be directed to strictly enforce all applicable local and state laws and special attention will be focused on alcohol possession and consumption. Violators will be cited and/or arrested for violations and individuals found to be under the influence of alcohol that may pose a danger to themselves or others may be placed in a detoxification facility.
The names of all students cited, arrested and/or ejected from the property for any reason will be shared with the CU and CSU Offices of Student Conduct and students may face administrative sanctions upon their return to campus.

Think you have to spend a fortune at designer stores for quality beauty
products? Think again. Often overlooked, the drugstore is packed full of
products that perform just as well as their expensive counter parts.
Though it takes some experimenting, once you find products that work for
your body, you'll find yourself saving a ton of money! Today I'm sharing
a few of my favorite products for your skin, hair and makeup. I seem to
find the best prices at Target or Walmart versus smaller drugstores,
but if you live in a city you can also order online from these spots or
try Drugstore.com which often runs promotions and sales.
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel, $7.99. Lately I've been hooked on using toner in the morning instead of face wash and this stuff smells great. You'll be amazed at how clean your skin feels after.
St.Ives Apricot Scrub, $4.99. This invigorating scrub has been a standby since my high school days -- I like to use it once a week.
Muslin Face Cloth, $5. I just discovered muslin face cloths, and my life has been changed! They work far better than your typical cotton washcloth, are reusable and are excellent for removing eye makeup.
Olay Night of Olay Firming Cream, $5.59. There is a reason this little tub is known as a "classic." I use it in the winter when my skin gets dry and wake up with the softest skin.
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream, $12.99. Neutrogena offers a great selection of budget-friendly anti-wrinkle products. I love this moisturizer and use it frequently!
Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller, $10.39. This little roller is great for de-puffing tired eyes. I use it before my concealer if I'm feeling extra tired.
Aquaphor Jar Healing Ointment, $14.29. This stuff works moisturizing wonders on everything from your lips to your cuticles.
Up & Up Makeup Remover, $4.54. Hands down, this is my favorite eye makeup remover. I like it better than L'Oreal and the more expensive brands, plus it leaves the delicate skin around your eyes soft and moisturized without being greasy.
Olay Advanced Cleansing System, $24.99. This vibrating tool rivals the popular Clarisonic, but I think it does the job for a fraction of the cost. I use it in the evenings three times a week, and it really removes makeup and exfoliates your skin.
Johnson's No More Tangles, $3.69. I swear this works just as well as expensive leave-in conditioners and detanglers; I use it every time I get out of the shower.
Conair Instant Heat Rollers, $22.99. There's no need to invest in expensive rollers -- they all do the same thing, and this set comes in a travel-friendly case.
Coconut Oil, $10.99. This is a trick I picked up on Pinterest. I use coconut oil as a deep conditioner (just apply it to dry locks, clip up for an hour or two and wash) and as a lotion on dry skin.
Swissco Comb, $2.99. No need to invest in expensive combs and brushes; they all do the same thing!
Sally Hersberger Supreme Lift Root Boost & Heat Protector, $11.93. I tried this at a friend's and was instantly hooked. It smells wonderful and leaves your hair silky soft.
Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo, $4.49. Use this to skip a wash or to add texture to your hair when styling -- it smells great!
Organix Coconut Conditioner, $6.99. I love all of the Organix brand products but especially this luscious coconut conditioner. Their Moroccan line rivals higher-priced options, too!
Goody bobby pins, $10.99. These mini bobby pins are great for tucking away small hairs and for the perfect top knot -- they also come in a variety of colors!
L'Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, $14.99. Hands down the best hairspray -- it holds hair in place without being stiff.
L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream, $10.95. There are a plethora of BB creams on the market now, but this drugstore buy works wonders -- I use it daily instead of tinted moisturizer or foundation.
Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara, $5.99. I'm a self-proclaimed mascara snob. DiorShow stands to be my favorite, but if I'm out this, Maybelline does the job!
Ardell Fashion Lashes, $13.23 for 4 sets. False lashes are my favorite trick for ultra glam eyes. I love to wear them for special events or girls nights.
e.l.f. Studio Blush, $3. Don't let the cheap price scare you -- this blush is my go-to for a rosy flushed cheek. The pink looks bright but looks amazing on your skin.
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base, $12.95. This primer works just as well as the big guys -- apply it before foundation or tinted moisturizer for flawless-looking skin.
L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm, $7.99. This balmy lipstick is perfect for everyday wear.
Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner Pencil, $6.79 I won't use any other eyeliner! This lasts all day and doesn't smudge.

CHICAGO -- Last season's comeback kings are back to their old tricks, albeit on a smaller scale.
A Giants team that made a habit of escaping elimination en route to a World Series title has two big comebacks in the past three games. Thursday's 7-6 win over the Chicago Cubs came after the Giants fell behind 5-0 at Wrigley Field.
"We just have the right attitude," center fielder Angel Pagan said. "We protect the lead, or we go get the lead."
On a damp, miserable day in Chicago, the Giants did a little of both.
Two days after overcoming a four-run deficit to the Colorado Rockies thanks to Brandon Crawford's three-run homer, the Giants took a different tack. This time they inched back on a series of self-inflicted wounds by the opponent.
Already leading 1-0, the Cubs put up four runs against Ryan Vogelsong in the third inning on Anthony Rizzo's two-run homer and a string of singles from the bottom of the lineup. Vogelsong has been roughed up a bit in his first two starts and said he went back to the dugout after the rally and asked pitching coach Dave Righetti, "What the heck is going on?"
"I haven't felt like I should," Vogelsong said. "Or like I did in spring training. I'll hit the video a little bit."
The Cubs batted around in that third inning, but the Giants followed up by sending nine hitters to the plate in consecutive innings. As Pagan said, it was time to go get the lead, and the rebuilding Cubs provided a helping hand.
The four-run fourth inning was extended by Starlin Castro's fielding error on a two-out Vogelsong grounder to short. Pagan followed with a grounder to the right side that again should have ended the inning, but second baseman Brent Lillibridge opted not to throw to first when he saw that pitcher Scott Feldman was late covering the bag.
The mistakes kept the inning going for the top of the Giants lineup, and Pablo Sandoval made the Cubs pay with a two-run double.
The Giants tied the game at 5-all when Vogelsong was walked with the bases loaded in the top of the fifth. A sacrifice fly from Pagan scored the go-ahead run, and Crawford's single plated a seventh straight unanswered run for the Giants.
"Our team has got a lot of fight in us," closer Sergio Romo said. "We try to win every inning. It's just a good example of everyone pulling together and that never-say-die attitude. It's a nice little carry-over from (the postseason) for sure."
After getting the lead, the Giants had little trouble protecting it. Vogelsong retired the final 10 batters he faced, and Jeremy Affeldt and Santiago Casilla bridged the gap to Romo, who put the tying run in scoring position but struck out Rizzo to clinch the fourth straight win for the Giants.
The game marked the first time since 2008 that the Giants won after trailing by five or more runs, and they did it in conditions that were hardly ripe for a comeback.
The team's flight to Chicago landed a little after midnight, and when the Giants got to Wrigley Field for the day game, they were confronted with steady rain and 40-degree weather. As is customary for the starting pitcher, Vogelsong traveled ahead of the rest of the team, something he doesn't like doing.
After being picked up by bleary-eyed teammates on a day when he was far from his best, Vogelsong hugged his way up and down the cramped dugout at Wrigley Field.
"Today was pretty impressive considering the long trip," he said. "I went up and told each one of them: 'Thank you.' "
* Marco Scutaro was given a rest day, and the Giants' lineup didn't miss a beat. Crawford, hitting in Scutaro's No. 2 spot, reached base four times. Nick Noonan took Scutaro's spot at second base and had three singles in his first career start.
Noonan made the opening-day roster with a late spring surge and has started the season 5 for 11. He said he has been helped by veteran teammates urging him not to alter the approach that got him here.
"I haven't changed a single thing since last year," Noonan said. "I've just been playing my game."
* A few Giants wore ski masks and heavy layers of clothing Thursday, but Vogelsong took the mound in short sleeves. He was on base twice for lengthy periods of time but refused a jacket.
"It's just one of those things where when it's cold like this, your body adjusts to that temperature," he said. "I'd rather stay at that temperature."
Manager Bruce Bochy smiled and pointed out that Vogelsong is used to cold winters after living in Pennsylvania for most of his life.
"Some guys are different," Bochy said.

The Japanese accessories brand Porter Yoshida Kaban (commonly referred to as Porter) has been on our radar for some time, and not just because we share a name. The label's top-quality bags debut on MR PORTER this season, although the company's history stretches as far back as 1935. In that year, a craftsman called Mr Kichizo Yoshida established his workshop, Yoshida & Co, which would later become Porter Yoshida Kaban. The original aim - "to make the best bags possible" - has stuck over time, with Porter bags continuing to offer the perfect balance between form and function.
HEAT CANVAS TOTE BAGThe tote bag from the Heat range is spacious enough to hold your daily essentials along with any shopping you pick up along the way, while the numerous D-rings are ideal for attaching keys and anything else you're concerned about losing (such as your inhibitions at karaoke).
BEAT LEATHER-TRIMMED COTTON-CANVAS BACKPACKThe Beat series of bags is made from washed cotton canvas, with elk leather details, giving it a less technical and more heritage-inspired aesthetic than the nylon ranges. This backpack would look perfect with a plaid shirt and jeans.
HEAT CANVAS WALLETStyle meets practicality in the wallet from the Heat range, which features a main compartment (closed with a press-stud fastener) in which there are two cash sleeves, six card slots and one pouch for larger documents. On the outside there is a Velcro-fastened compartment, a zipper coin section and a chain ring, enabling the wallet to be attached to many of the bags in the Porter range.
BEAT LEATHER-TRIMMED COTTON-CANVAS TOTEThe tote bag from the Beat range has two main zip-up compartments, each of which contains a smaller zip-up pocket. The front section also contains slots for pens and small gadgets, while the slip-pockets found on each end of the bag are ideal for holding items such as a small umbrella.
SATIN-CANVAS HOLDALLThe Tanker series was launched in 1983, and is characterised by the use of durable nylon-twill in either sage green or black. Since the range is inspired by US Air Force MA-1 bomber jackets, the bags (such as this holdall) are padded and have bright orange linings. Triple stitching at the seams ensures durability.
SUNRAIN COTTON CANVAS BACKPACKThe Sunrain backpack is so named because it has a packaway waterproof cover, which can be deployed in the event of sudden downpours. Between the three main compartments and subsequent smaller pockets, this stylish backpack offers plenty of storage.
HEAT CANVAS BACKPACKBags in the Heat range are made from urethane-coated ballistic nylon, the same material as car airbags and body armour. A miniature Maglite torch is also fitted to each bag in this range, with this capacious backpack being no exception.

"Heart and soul in every stitch" is the company's slogan, since all manufacturing takes place in Japan, where Porter runs more than 50 specialist workshops instead of centralising production at one large factory. This neatly summarises the company's philosophy, as less efficient, time-tested modes of production are actively chosen over speed and automation. Partly this is to preserve Japanese manufacturing heritage, and partly to ensure the brand's legendary quality standards are upheld. "Each bag is usually made by just one craftsman, from beginning to end, who will become an expert in their particular field as the years pass, constantly improving and refining the process," explains a company representative, who prefers not to be named "because Porter is all about community and team work". Most of the bags in the nylon-twill Tanker series are hand-made in a workshop in Chiba (across the bay from Tokyo), where 72 craftsmen work beneath a banner reading, "constant improvement of quality". Other bags from the range are made in other parts of Japan, with competitiveness between the regional workshops further raising the bar.
The name Porter was chosen because of its allusion to railway and hotel porters, who are themselves experts in what makes a good bag, having handled countless pieces of luggage. Porters also bring to mind global travel, for which Porter bags - with their numerous, carefully thought-out pockets and compartments - are excellent. To showcase the collection, we enlisted the help of Mr Baixiang Chen, a 26-year-old business management student from Copenhagen who featured in The Journal last year as one of our favourite people to follow on Instagram.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Photos that have gone viral online show the exact moment a Michigan Wolverines fan got pepper sprayed by police during the Penn State game.
The confrontation happened Saturday, when there were plenty of sideline photographers on hand to capture the painful ejection from Beaver Stadium.
According to several witness accounts, the fan was being disruptive, taunting other fans.
In a statement, Penn State Police Chief Tyrone Parham "Alcohol was most definitely a factor in that situation."
--AP photo/Gene Puskar
Parham said fans had asked an usher for help when the man got offensive and that he had allegedly hit the usher when she tried to eject him from the stadium.
"Four officers responded -- two from State College and two from Penn State -- but when they tried to remove him from the stadium he continued spewing expletives, became physical and resisted arrest," Parham said. "At that point it became a safety issue and that's when the decision was made to use the pepper spray and attempt to handcuff him."
The Nittany Lions beat the Wolverines 43-40 in four overtimes.
