Welcome to the site!
INERELA+ is an international network of religious leaders – lay and ordained, women and men – living with, or personally affected, by HIV.
It is recognized that religious leaders have a unique authority that plays a central role in providing moral and ethical guidance within their communities; indeed their public opinions can influence entire nations.
INERELA+ looks to empower its members to use their positions of respect within their faith communities in a way that breaks silence, challenges stigma and provides delivery of evidenced-based prevention, care and treatment services.
Our Vision: INERELA+ envisions a world where HIV and AIDS related stigma, infections and deaths are eliminated.
Our Mission: INERELA+ exists to equip, empower and engage its members to live positively and openly as agents of hope and change in their faith communities and countries.
Members, in partnership with others, overcome self and societal stigma, engage in stimulating faith community responses, and influence policies and service provision.
SAVE Toolkit
Now available in French
INERELA+ promotes the 'SAVE' approach to HIV, a response that was originally formulated by the leaders of the African Network (ANERELA+). The SAVE approach provides a more holistic way of preventing HIV by incorporating the principles of the ABC (Abstinence, Be faithful and Condom use) as well as providing additional information about HIV transmission and prevention, providing support and care for those already infected and actively challenging the denial, stigma and discrimination so commonly associated with HIV.

We sincerely hope we will all give him as much support as possible as he strengthens our programmes and works on improving communications within the network and with our global partners.
Faith-based groups leave Melbourne conference with new commitment to leave no one behind in struggle against HIV and AIDS
As researchers, activists and policy makers prepare to leave Melbourne at the conclusion of the 20th International AIDS Conference, they possess a new confidence that advances in treatment can mean an eventual end to the AIDS epidemic.Yet new testing mechanisms, antiretroviral medications, and government funding strategies alone won't be enough to transform HIV infection from a global public health emergency to a manageable chronic disease. Religious leaders who came to Melbourne warn that making real the refrain of "nobody left behind" will also mean recognizing that faith-based groups must continue to play a major role in the comprehensive struggle against the virus.
Luiz Loures, the UNAIDS deputy executive director of program, told religious leaders on the eve of the conference that a complete response to the epidemic won't be possible without the continuing involvement of faith-based groups.
"We have the tools. We have the science that we need. Yet there is no way to treat people if they have no access to care because they are afraid, or because they are women, or because they are a migrant, or because they need to hide to survive," Loures said.
The global AIDS ambassador of the U.S. government, Deborah Birx, told the faith leaders in Melbourne that their "compassion and passion for this work continue to be the heartbeat of the response to HIV," yet she also expressed concern about the role of some religious groups in fomenting discrimination in Africa, where anti-gay legislation has led to violence against sexual minorities.
The Rev. Michael Schuenemeyer, a pastor in the United States and executive director of the United Church of Christ HIV and AIDS Network, said responsible faith leaders need to put their religious houses in order if nobody is going to be left behind.
"Some religious leaders and communities are indeed part of the problem. That's a challenge for us. We need to create spaces where we can engage in dialogue, and appeal to the sense of empathy and compassion that almost every faith community carries. We need to hold each other accountable, and that may require some of us to more boldly confront the negative rhetoric that causes harm, puts people at risk, and supports laws that criminalize HIV, sexuality and gender identity," he said.
The Rev. Phumzile Mabizela, a South African Presbyterian minister, said the anti-gay legislation is setting back the struggle against AIDS.
"The new laws and even the discussion of the new laws have promoted a lot of fear. People are scared of going to clinics or hospitals. They don't know whom to trust," said Mabizela, the executive director of the International Network of Religious Leaders Living with or Personally Affected by HIV and AIDS (INERELA+).
"We as a faith community should stand up and fight against this. It puts the lives of our most at-risk communities even more at risk. The more we discriminate against them, the more we stigmatize them, and the less likely they are to come forward for the resources they need."
While homophobia is provoking violence in some areas, complacency has become a common problem in other parts of the world, primarily in the global north.
"In the United States, western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, complacency has become a problem," said Father Robert Vitillo, a special advisor on HIV and AIDS to Caritas Internationalis. "Because we have relatively low levels of infection, and most people who are positive are on medications, we think the problem is solved. But that's not the case. High income countries have had a steady rate of new infections for several years, yet they're lecturing everyone else on how to reduce their new infections."
Vitillo said this "lack of awareness" takes on even more dangerous overtones when PrEP becomes available, a reference to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. "With PrEP people can develop a sense that they don't have to worry about infection anymore. So they can have all the sexual encounters they want, or inject any drugs they want, with a perception that they're protected from HIV. But there are other diseases that they can acquire. We're in danger, but there's widespread denial about the danger," he said.
According to Ulysses Burley III, a U.S. physician who is a leader for HIV care within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, young people in the United States, particularly African-American young men who have sex with men, are at a particular risk of being left behind in the struggle against HIV and AIDS.
"If Black America were its own country, it would be ranked 16th in the world in terms of HIV infections, above countries like Botswana and Ethiopia and Haiti. So as we discuss the global epidemic, I don't want the US epidemic to be left behind, especially young African-American men who have sex with men," he said.
Insuring their inclusion in the HIV response means churches have to establish new ways of reaching young people. "You can't do outreach to a population to which you don't have access," Burley said. "It also means the church has to deal better with sex and sexuality, not as a separate theme, but as something integral to our spirituality."
Changes in international funding for HIV testing, treatment and education will jeopardize continued progress against the virus, many religious workers in Melbourne warned. Of particular concern is a shift in funding, especially by the U.S. government, away from AIDS programs in countries where growing economies have moved the nations from being considered "poor" to now being labeled "middle income."
Vitillo said that's a mistake.
"It's true that a small number of people are getting richer and richer, and a country's GNP may have risen into the middle income category, but the situation of the poor is often worse. And some governments claim they can handle all of their own health care, but they really can't, and what they do provide they tend to concentrate in the large cities. As a result, the churches that have been providing care in rural areas have less access to funding today," he said.
Assuring that nobody gets left behind, Vitillo said, will require fundamental policy shifts.
"It means much more equitable sharing of resources. We keep hearing there's no money. But there is plenty of money. Governments just have the wrong priorities in how to spend it. If we took some of the funding that now goes to weapons and spent it in the struggle for development, we could take care of HIV and AIDS much more quickly," he said.
Financial decisions at national levels are also increasing the risk of leaving whole segments of the population behind. In India, for example, the government this year ended 13 years of collaboration and funding for Catholic mission hospitals and community care centers.
"The government decided to close these and announced that people should go to the government health facilities. But those aren't really capable of handling the complex multiple needs of HIV-infected people, especially complicated cases and those in the end stages of care," said Father Mathew Perumpil, who coordinates HIV work for the Catholic Church in India.
Perumpil said the church decided to keep the centers open, even without government funding.
"We were the first to open our doors to people living with HIV. We didn't start these programs because of the government. We started them because of the people. So many of the centers remain open and continue providing services. But that puts us in a huge bind. Where do the resources come from? The patients can't pay," he said.
While the Indian government continues providing antiretroviral medications at no cost, church-run hospitals and centers are now struggling to raise their own funding for other services.
Perumpil said the people most at risk of being left behind in the HIV response in India are women living in the countryside.
"The poor, the people without voices, are always the ones who are left behind. They aren't the key populations that get lots of attention and money from the international community. They are poor women in villages who still know nothing about HIV and end up getting infected by their husbands who are working elsewhere. They are the people who are still left behind," the priest said. "You don't see them in Melbourne because this conference is too expensive for any of them to attend. They are marginalized not because of their sexual orientation, but simply because they're poor. The church is close to them, and the church has to do a lot more in solidarity with them."
Despite the work of faith-based organizations in response to HIV around the world, the groups have always received a mixed reaction at the international AIDS conferences. While there has always been appreciation from many for the faith groups' commitment to caring for affected people long before it became fashionable, some have wanted to accuse all religious groups of fomenting stigma and discrimination.
It was often a lively conversation. Yet according to Sara Speicher, the interim executive director of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance (EAA), such controversy has been replaced with silence.
"In the speeches here about human rights there has been no mention of faith-based organizations," she said. "Whatever your opinion is about this, faith-based groups were involved from the beginning in the development of the international human rights framework and many see rights as integral to their witness. At the same time, we know that some religious leaders and communities have problems with rights-based language and activism. One way or another, these issues need to be recognized, and we have to be involved in these discussions."
Speicher said she knew of several EAA members who took the issue up with presenters, who acknowledged, after the fact, the need to include everyone in the conversation. "But it didn't seem to occur to them ahead of time," Speicher said. "If we're going to make sure that faith-based groups can continue our struggle that nobody gets left behind in the response to HIV, we're also going to have to make sure our own voices are heard. That's something we will have to work on, as we look towards AIDS 2016 in Durban, South Africa."

It's not that I don't want to study, it's very hard for me to stay focused, and with having 2 kids, can't find the time! I've never really had to study when it came to school, but I guess I'm freaking myself out for this because it's one of the most important things I've ever done. I just need to buckle down, I guess!

Pack Memories, Not Pests
I ran into two members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Patrol this afternoon.
No, I wasn't at a border. I was merely walking the halls of the UC Davis Department of Entomology. The border patrol agents were there to meet with entomology department officials in Briggs Hall.
They handed me a pamphlet, "Don't Pack a Pest," urging vacationeers (who me? I didn't go anywhere on T-Day, honest, 'cept for an insect safari in my back yard) to bring back memories, not pests.
The pamphlet is a reprint of a news article written by Kate Campbell of the California Farm Bureau Federation and published in the May/June edition of California Country magazine.
The gist of the article: don't tuck food, seeds or plants in your luggage and try to smuggle them into California. "Although they (items) may seem harmless, discoveries like these illustrate that while California travelers are settling in after a long trip, so too are a host of damaging pests, plants and diseases that have hitchiked home with them," Campbell wrote.
At the San Francisco Airport, someone tried to sneak in a "whole shrink-wrapped piglet and a rice straw pillow from Mongolia, with potentially diseased grain still attached," Campbell wrote.
Then there are the seed smugglers, like the California executive who stuffed seeds into pouches tucked in his underwear.
Whoa! (The reason they nabbed him was because the border patrol had earlier flagged him as a high-risk seed smuggler.)
The pamphlet quoted California Food and Agriculture Secretary A. G. Kawamura: "The public has an important role to play in keeping pests out."
Here are some tips for travelers, courtesy of the pamphlet:
- When camping, check tents, tarps, ice chests and other gear for dirt and pests. Rinse and shake before stowing.
- Leave firewood behind, likewise kindling, sticks and leaves.
- Don't bring fresh fruit and vegetables back across the state boundaries, particularly from backyard or roadside trees and gardens
- Don't bring animal houses back--dog houses, poultry cages or rabbit hutches.
- Hose off bikes, motorcycles and boats.
- Check tubular equipment for dirt--hollow poles, pipes, folding chairs and rods.
- For boaters, never move live fish or other aquatic animals or plants from one body of water to antoher.
- Drain and dry all water and dry boats, equipment and gear and clean live-wells.
- Check waders and boots for caked-on dirt.
- Keep foodstuffs tightly closed to prevent bringing infestations home. If in doubt, throw it out.
- Don't dump aquarium plants and exotic fish into sewers, creeks or lakes.
- Know what you're planting in your garden by checking online at www.plantright.org. Most plants sold for use in gardens and landscaping do not invade or harm wildland areas, but a few vigorous species can--and do.
Want to report a suspective invasive plant or pest? Call the California Department of Food and Ag's Plant-Pest Hotline at (800) 491-1899.
Want to know what NOT to bring back to California? Go to www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/pe/ or call (916) 654-0312.
Aquatic invaders? Check the Department of Fish and Game's Web site at www.dfg.ca.gov/invasives.
And to report a smuggler of prohibited exotic fruits, vegetables or meat products across international borders and into the U.S. or California, call the anti-smuggling hotline at (800) 877-3835.
As Campbell said, bring back memories, not pests.
Protecting California from invasive species costs some $85 million a year, according to www.plantright.org.

DEET Plays a Role
When UC Davis chemical ecologist Walter Leal received a major award from the Entomological Society of America at its 56th annual meeting, held in Reno, DEET has something to do with it.
Leal, who received the Recognition Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology from ESA president Michael Gray, has amassed an amazing record of productivity. Most recently: his lab discovered the mode of action for the mosquito repellent, DEET.
Contrary to previous hypotheses, DEET doesn't jam a mosquto's sense of smell or mask the smell of the host. The reason why mosquitoes avoid DEET is they don't like the smell and avoid it.
Leal, professor of entomology and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, was one of seven professionals receiving distinguished awards at the ESA meeting. The other categories were extension, entomology, horticultural entomology, teaching, the certification program, and early career innovation.
A pioneer in the field of insect olfaction, Leal is best known for his research on the mode of action of odorant–binding proteins and odorant-degrading enzymes on the identification and synthesis of insect sex pheromones and on insect chemical communication.
As colleague Ring Cardé, chair of the Department of Entomology at UC Riverside, said: "Dr. Leal is one of the leading scientists worldwide studying the chemistry of pheromone communication in insects and related arthropods."

The Insect Behind Thanksgiving Day
Happy Turkey Day!
The last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day, but it really should be Honey Bee Day.
Without the bees, we'd have no Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving as we know it. They are our unstung heroes. They pollinate more than 90 agricultural crops in California. One third of the American diet is pollinated by bees.
So, as we sit around the dining room table giving thanks, we should also consider the insect that makes it all happen.
The honey bee.
Happy Honey Bee Day!

Our Fellows
One of the highlights of the Entomological Society of America's 56th annual meeting, held Nov. 16-19 in Reno, was the presentation of the Fellow awards.
This year two of the 10 recipients came from the University of California faculty--or more specifically, from UC Davis.
Entomology professor Michael Parrella, associate dean of the Division of Agricultural Sciences, UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and a former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, and professor Frank Zalom, an integrated pest manageament specialist, former director of the UC Integrated Pest Management Program (16 years), and a former vice chair of the Department of Entomology, received the honors.
Fellows are selected for their outstanding contributions in entomological research, teaching, extension or administration, said ESA spokesperson Richard Levine. Up to 10 entomologists from among the 6000-member organization are singled out for the annual award.
President Michael Gray presented the awards.
As Lynn Kimsey, chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology, said: "These are highly prestigious awards, granted only to 10 or fewer entomologists every year. Michael Parrella and Frank Zalom are carrying on our department's tradition of excellence and commitment." Eight other UC Davis entomologists have received the honor since 1947.
The Zalom and Parrella accomplishments are many. The agricultural community and the academic world are quite appreciative of their work.
This was a highlight not only of the ESA meeting, but of their outstanding careers.
A toast to professors Parrella and Zalom!

Those Dratted Mites
Those dratted mites.
UC Davis entomologist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor and a native bee pollinator specialist, sent us a BBC report linking a varroa mite infestation to a devastating honey production loss in the UK. It's the worst honey crisis ever to hit the UK.
In short: beekeepers are concerned that by Christmas, there may be no more domestically produced honey left on the supermarket shelves.
The mite infestation has already killed off an estimated quarter of the UK's honey bees, according to BBC correspondent Jeremy Cooke, who said about "one in three colonies has been wiped out."
The varroa mite, or the Varroa destructor, is a nasty pest. Now found in most countries (Australia is an exception), it's an external parasite initially discovered on the Asian honey bee, Apis cerana. Over the last few decades, however, it has spread to the Western honey bee (also known as the European honey bee), Apis mellifera.
The varroa mite entered the UK in 1992, reports show. It has since spread throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The blood-sucking parasite feeds on both adults and the brood (immature larvae). It weakens the bees, opening them up to all sorts of diseases. And eventually, if not controlled, it will destroy the colonies.
The bad news is that the varroa mite cannot be completely eradicated, but with proper control methods, the mite population can be kept at a low level.
When California State Secretary of Agriculture A. G. Kawamura visited the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis last month, bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey showed him dead mites on a hive floor. (See story on UC Davis Department of Entomology site.)
Kawamura is no stranger to bees or bee pests. As a youth, he reared bees--until the infectious bee disease, American foulbrood, upset his plans.
To control the mite, beekeepers usually use a combination of management methods. They use biotechnical methods and chemical controls. Unfortunately, in some areas, the varroa mite is developing resistance to miticides--another worry for beekeepers.
Said Cobey: "You need to reduce mite levels in colonies by late summer--August/September--to have healthy bees in spring."
Cooperative Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of UC Davis says that in California, the Department of Pesticide Regulation "is close to approving another chemical treatment" to help control the mite problem.
It may be ready by next spring.
The mites will be waiting.

Taste Test: Peanut Butter
Not many can resist this luscious spread: It's found in 90 percent of American pantries. We tasted 24 versions of this childhood favorite to see which creamy and crunchy varieties came out on top.
Can't get enough of peanut butter's nutty-goodness? Try these PB desserts, cookies, and snacks to help satisfy your peanut cravings.
By The Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
Reviewers appreciated the sweet and creamy texture of Jif Creamy Peanut Butter ($3.25 for 18 oz., amazon.com). Several considered it the "classic taste" of peanut butter. Some felt that it was too salty, even more said that it was too sweet, and a couple mentioned that it "tastes like Cracker Jacks." They liked the amount of nuttiness this one brought to the table. "I'm ready for a sandwich!" one tester exclaimed.

"this was an ok recipe. i wasn't highly impressed. if i make it again i think i will make some changes that will fit my family's taste buds a little better."
"These are so so good! DH and Kids devoured them. Will definantly be making them again."
"This sauce was so so good. I used it in the Wet Burritos recpe #33665. Truly fantastic. No more store bought for me."
"Our family really enjoyed these burritos. This was the first time I had heard of a wet burrito. I was not dissappointed in the least.I used recipe #31811 Enchilada Sauce By Kimke. Leftovers were just as good if not better the next day. YUMMY!"
"These were very good. I used homemade bread and left the crust on (best part to me). I loved the saltiness and the flavour. It will replace my garlic breadsticks on lots of occasions. Definant keeper."
"Beaner, I made these over the week end along with grilled steak marinaded with Dancer's Cola Marinade #48292. It was a great combination. These potatoes were very good and another plus, NO CLEAN UP. It would also be a good camping recipe."
"Used this marinade over the week end, let marinade all day in a zip lock bag. The steaks were tender and great tasting. I would use this recipe again."
"I made this using regular mayonnaise. The taste was very good. It's a keeper."
"I made these with fresh blackeye peas and they were superb. Since I was going to be gone all day just threw it all in the crock pot and let them cook. Flavour can't be beat. "
"This marinade was very good, and easy. The only addition I made was adding some onion powder. My boys loved it. I had the meat on the grill and as my DS got out of his car he said he could smell the wonderful smell and sure hoped it was coming from our grill. Lifting the cover his words (ALLRIGHT!!!)Definantly a keeper."

Altria Is a Smokin' Cash Cow
I usually don't include a graph in my fundamental section but I have to point out the price stability and price growth persistence over the past three years with a graph of the weekly price trend.
Investor interests:
As stated, both the professional and individual investor seems to favor the dividend-paying cash cow
Jim Cramer has liked this stock for some time
Brokerage firms having the stock on their hold or better lists include Deutsche Securities, Stifle Nicolaus, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan, Citigroup, Barclays Capital and UBS
How does the market score MO against its peers? In the past year MO was up 38%,
Philip Morris International
(PM) up 30%,
British American Tobacco
(BTI) up 16% and
Imperial Tobacco Group
(ITYBY) up 15%.
TheStreet's rating of B
Dividend rate of 3.38
Revenue project to grow 1.9% this year and 5.5% next year
Earnings estimated to increase by 6.1% this year and 9.89% next year
Dividend rate of 3.79
Revenue projected to decrease by 0.4% this year but increase by 4.2% next year
Earnings estimated to grow by 6.7% this year and 10.7% next year
Revenue to be down 66.3% this year but back up 68.2% next year
Earning estimated to increase at an annual rate of 8.10% over the next five years
Conclusion: This is not a growth stock as I define it. A growth stock should have projections of increases in revenue, earnings and price of over 10% to be in that category. For those of you holding this stock for income there seems to be no reason to sell it at this time. It is ideal for income investors or in an IRA set up under a dividend reinvestment program. At the present time the market is valuing income at a premium. Please watch the share price to see when that changes. In the long run it is the total return that counts and that is what you should monitor. Watch the moving averages and turtle channels for price weakness.

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Russian stocks rose for the first time in three days, heading for the biggest advance in more than a week, after Greece's parliament approved austerity measures to help assure a second debt bailout.
The 30-stock Micex jumped 1.7 percent to 1,549.73 by 11:10 a.m. in Moscow, heading for its biggest daily gain since Feb. 1. Power distributor MRSK Holding rose 3.7 percent, the biggest advance in the Micex today. Federal Grid Co., the state-run power-line operator, added 3.1 percent. The dollar-denominated RTS Index rose 2.1 percent to 1,637.30, poised for its biggest daily advance since Jan. 26.
Oil, Russia's main export revenue earner, rose as much as 1 percent to $99.68 a barrel in New York, advancing from a three- day low. Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos won parliamentary approval for austerity measures to secure a 130 billio-euro ($172 billion) international bailout, helping send Asian stocks and U.S. futures higher.
OAO Sberbank, Russia's biggest lender, rose 1.6 percent to 95.55 rubles, heading for its highest closing level since Aug. 5, as the ruble advanced 0.6 percent to 29.8925 against the dollar. Shares of VTB Group, Russia's second-biggest lender, added 2.1 percent to 6.91 kopeks.
The Micex is up 11 percent this year and trades at 5.7 times analysts' earnings estimates for member companies. Brazil's Bovespa index, which is valued at 10.3 times estimated earnings, has climbed 13 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Shanghai Composite Index trades at 9.7 times estimated earnings, and the BSE India Sensitive Index has a ratio of 15.7.

"Good--but I wanted Wonderful"
I bought the book because I thought the concept intriguing. I liked it--but I didn't love it.
I have a segment of friends that might enjoy this novel as much, or perhaps more than I did. And another segment that I would not recommend this book to at all.
She did a good job.
"Perhaps a better read than a listen . . ."
No. I would recommend that they read this. The author flips back and forth in different time periods as well as different points of view making it very hard to follow. I had to go sit in Barnes and Noble and read through the book for an hour to make the story really comprehensible. Sometimes I think the best books for audio are first person narratives, or at least stories told in a linear fashion. Maybe literary fiction novels with multiple threads are best left to the reader. That said, I'm glad I made the effort. It was a wonderful book.
Marie hiding from her German antagonist during the bombing.
He's very good.
I have enjoyed several of Louise Erdich's novels. This is the least of them. I was not engaged until almost one third of the way into the book. If not for Erdich's reputation I might not have continued on. The plot did pick up mid-way through, but in the end, I was still disappointed.
I found the narrators stilted diction stereotypical and annoying.
This might make a good movie. maybe.

Study Shows Aspirin Effective for Migraine Pain
Published Online:
Thursday, March 24, 2011
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Aspirin is an alternative to ibuprofen or acetaminophen for the temporary self-treatment of migraine, according to a new review by researchers at the University of Oxford.
In more than half of patients who took it, a single 1000-mg dose of aspirin was proven effective as a temporary treatment for acute pain associated with migraine headaches in adults, according to the results of a cumulative study published in the current online issue of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.
Combining aspirin with an antiemetic, although not necessary for pain relief, was also helpful in decreasing nausea and vomiting linked to migraine, researchers found.
The study's lead author, Varo Kirthi, of the University of Oxford's Pain Research and Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, looked to existing research to establish a consensus on the effectiveness of aspirin as part of a migraine treatment plan. Kirthi and colleagues combed Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Oxford Pain Relief Database for randomized, double-blind, and placebo- or active-controlled studies that used aspirin to treat a discrete migraine headache episode.
The 13 selected studies involved a total of 4222 participants; used treatment groups of at least 10 participants; and compared aspirin 900 mg or 1000 mg—alone or in combination with metoclopramide 10 mg—with placebo or other active treatments, primarily sumatriptan 50 mg or 100 mg. Researchers then used the numbers of patients who achieved each outcome to calculate relative risk and numbers needed to treat or harm compared with placebo or other active therapy.
Based on the extracted data, a 1000-mg dose of aspirin reduced moderate or severe pain to no worse than mild pain by 2 hours in 52% of patients, compared with 32% taking placebo. Moderate or severe pain was reduced to no pain by 2 hours in 24% of patients, compared with 11% taking placebo.
Among those who did experience pain relief within 2 hours, patients who took aspirin were more likely to sustain that relief over a 24-hour period. Aspirin was also proven more effective than placebo in reducing nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Adding 10 mg of antiemetic metoclopramide extended these benefits, substantially reducing nausea and vomiting compared with aspirin alone.
With or without metoclopramide, aspirin worked just as well as sumatriptan 50 mg to eliminate pain and provide headache relief. With short-term use, the side effects for aspirin were mostly "mild and transient," the authors wrote.
R. Andrew Moore, DSc, a researcher involved in the study, told Reuters Health in an e-mail that the information is "useful to know," but that "no medicine for migraine works in everyone, and for the individual the key is finding that medicine—and formulation—that works for them."
Moore also urged patients with frequent headaches to seek treatment from a primary care physician. Many patients, however, choose not to see a physician for migraines, opting instead for self-treatment. By including aspirin plus metoclopramide as one option in a range of OTC analgesics typically recommended for migraine relief, pharmacists can increase chances these patients will find an affordable, effective treatment that meets their individual needs.

Do you ever wait for a "walk" signal when there's no traffic? When someone else comes along and jaywalks, do you think, "I'm an idiot for waiting?" Or do you think, "That guy's a jerk?" Research suggests that moralizing others' behavior has a lot to do with defending our own egos.
Stanford researchers Alex Jordan and Benoit Monin asked students to perform an optional tedious task while waiting for the "real" experiment to begin. The subjects saw a second student either follow through with the chore or decline without repercussions. People who did the boring task and then witnessed someone refuse rated their own morality higher, and the rebel's morality lower, than did subjects who either did not do the task first or saw the other person obey. We cast ourselves as noble to avoid feeling naive—what Jordan and Monin call the "sucker to saint" effect.
Monin says we judge people on two main axes: morality and competence. In defending your ego, if you can't impugn someone's ethics, you call her stupid. He has preliminary evidence that meat-eaters regard vegetarians who threaten their self-esteem as a little dim. ("It's hard to say that vegetarians are evil.")

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

- Season the fillets generously with the cracked pepper and salt. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or flameproof roasting tray until starting to smoke. Then, one at a time, sear the fillets until brown on all sides – about 6 mins per fillet. Leave the beef to cool slightly. Meanwhile, lay the prosciutto so that it's overlapping on two large sheets of greaseproof paper.
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Brush the beef all over with mustard and place on the prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto around the beef and secure with string.
- Sit the fillets next to each other on a roasting tray and roast for 40 mins for medium or 50 mins for well done. Leave the beef to cool in the roasting tray. Dab the fillets with kitchen paper to remove any excess juices. Then either carve into thin slices and lay over two platters or place the fillets on the platters and serve with a carving knife and fork, so that guests can help themselves.

You may remember him as the sweet and loving older brother of Song Hye Kyo in teary Korean drama Autumn in My Heart, but actor Song Seung Heon drops the innocent act in his latest film - he drops all his clothes too.
The Korean heartthrob was in Singapore on Friday to promote the film Obsessed, in which he plays a married army colonel who falls in love with his subordinate's wife.
Song bares it all in some pretty steamy sex scenes in the film, which starts its run in Singapore from July 31 with an R21 rating.
But, it's not the first time he has shown some skin.
Well known for having toned abs, the hunky 37-year-old has gained many a female fan because of his dreamy looks.
From a cold-blooded businessman to a successful neurosurgeon to a street-hardened arms smuggler, Song has taken on a variety of roles during his 19-year career.
He took on aggressive masculine roles in films like Fate and the subsequent remake, A Better Tomorrow, as well as in the drama East of Eden.
Song also showed his softer side through romantic roles in the dramas My Princess and When a Man Falls in Love.
Check out the gallery above for a run through of Song Seung Heon's many characters and looks across the years.

Labaton Sucharow Secures $473 Million Settlement In Case Against Schering-Plough Corporation
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Labaton Sucharow LLP, along with its co-counsel, announced that it reached a $473 million settlement in In re Schering-Plough Corporation / ENHANCE Securities Litigation. The recovery is the largest securities class action settlement ever against a pharmaceutical company, among the top 25 securities class action settlements of all time, and among the ten largest recoveries ever in a securities class action that did not involve a defendant company restating its earnings. The case was set to start trial on March 4, 2013 in federal court in New Jersey.
The allegations in the case center around the LDL ("bad") cholesterol lowering drug product VYTORIN®, and a clinical trial known as ENHANCE. ENHANCE sought to demonstrate that VYTORIN® was more effective than another cholesterol drug product, ZOCOR®, in combating atherosclerosis (the build-up of plaque in artery walls), as measured by the thickness of patients' carotid arteries. All patients had completed their course of treatment by April 2006, but the results were not released to the public until early 2008, shortly after the United States Congress began investigations into the delay. The ENHANCE results showed that VYTORIN® was no better than ZOCOR® in changing the thickness of patients' arteries, despite the fact that VYTORIN® did lower patients' cholesterol significantly more than ZOCOR®.
Schering-Plough Corporation ("Schering") co-marketed VYTORIN® with Merck & Co., Inc. ("Merck"), and the two companies co-sponsored the ENHANCE trial. The plaintiffs in the case alleged that Schering learned that the ENHANCE trial was a failure more than a year before the results were publicly disclosed, but that Schering withheld that information from investors. During that time, Schering and several of its executives are alleged to have made a series of material misrepresentations and omissions concerning the ENHANCE trial and the commercial viability of VYTORIN®.

Alexander Payne (born Constantine Alexander Payne; February 10, 1961) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer, known for the films Citizen Ruth (1996), Election (1999), About Schmidt (2002), Sideways (2004), The Descendants (2011), and Nebraska (2013). His films are noted for their dark humor and satirical depictions of contemporary American society. Payne is a two time winner of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and a three time nominee of the Academy Award for Best Director.
Payne was born in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Peggy (née Constantine) and George Payne, restaurant owners.[1][2][3] Payne is the youngest of three sons[4] and grew up in what is now known as the Dundee-Happy Hollow Historic District, the same neighborhood as billionaire Warren Buffett.
His father is of Greek and German descent, and his mother is of Greek ancestry.[5][6] His paternal grandfather, Nicholas "Nick" Payne, anglicized the last name from Papadopoulos.[7] His family comes from three areas in Greece: the island of Syros, Livadia, and Aegio.[8]
Payne's family was part of the fabric of Omaha, which he references as part of his upbringing.[9][10] His grandfather was one of the original owners who founded The Virginia Cafe, with Payne's father taking over the restaurant. Payne grew up going there regularly as a child. The Virginia Cafe was a well-known Omaha restaurant that was noteworthy for its connection to historic events in Nebraska at the time: the 1935 streetcar strike, significant sales of Liberty Bonds during the Second World War, and its place—from WWII through Vietnam—for "last meals" to soldiers en route to basic training. It was also open 24 hours a day, which was not common at the time. The Virginia was destroyed in a fire in 1969; the W. Dale Clark Library is located at its former site.[9]
Payne's paternal grandmother, Clara Payne (née Hoffman), was from a German Nebraska family from Lincoln, Nebraska.[10]
In Omaha, Payne attended Brownell-Talbot School, Dundee Elementary School, and Lewis and Clark Junior High. He graduated from Creighton Prep for high school in 1979.[11] At Prep, Payne wrote a humor column for his high school newspaper and was the editor of the high school yearbook.[12]
Payne then attended Stanford University, where he double majored in Spanish and history.[7] As a part of his Spanish degree, he studied at Spain's University of Salamanca and later he lived a few months in Medellin, Colombia, where he published an article about social changes between 1900 and 1930.[13] Payne got his MFA in 1990 from the UCLA Film School.
Payne's journey into filmmaking "began in the 1960s when his father, owner of The Virginia Restaurant in downtown Omaha, received an 8mm projector from Kraft Foods as a bonus for being a good customer."[3][14] Payne said that when he was about 14 years old he got a used Super 8mm film camera.[12][15][16]
A short time after getting his MFA from UCLA Film School—and after his successful thesis film, The Passion of Martin had attracted industry attention—Payne got a writing/directing deal with Universal Pictures. The ensuing screenplay, which was turned down, would ultimately become About Schmidt.[7] He said, "I could write anything I wanted and if they want it I would direct it. I was paid for that $125,000 of which because of taxes, agent and lawyer, you keep about half. So, that was about $60,000 which I lived on for five years because I never changed my lifestyle from that of a student. And then I did a couple of film jobs and also, during film school, I worked as a catering waiter."[6]
Payne sees his talent as being one of learned economy. He refers to the essay written by Tennessee Williams on The Catastrophe of Success.[16]
Payne worked in various capacities on films and television before he wrote and directed his first full-length film, Citizen Ruth (1996).
His second film, Election, starring Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon, which takes aim at politics and education in America, attracted attention when New Yorker film critic David Denby named it the best film of 1999. Payne was nominated for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay for Election.
In 2003 he received a Golden Globe for his screenplay for About Schmidt, which was also nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. To the surprise of many who kept track of Hollywood news,[citation needed] Payne and his writing partner Jim Taylor were not nominated for an Oscar for the About Schmidt screenplay.
He won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe in 2005 for Best Adapted Screenplay for Sideways, while the film also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. In total, Sideways received five Academy Award nominations.
Payne returned to directing in 2011 after a seven year hiatus with the film The Descendants, starring George Clooney. He also co-wrote the screenplay, winning the Oscar for adapted screenplay.
Payne's most recent project, entitled Nebraska, starred veteran character actor Bruce Dern and SNL comedian Will Forte.[17] It was released on November 15, 2013.[18]
Payne's next project is Wilson, an adaptation of the Daniel Clowes' graphic novel slated to shoot in San Francisco next fall.[19]
Payne will next executive produce the short film RUN FAST. Anna Musso, his long-time assistant and protege, will direct from her own screenplay. The film will shoot in March 2014. The project recently launched a kickstarter campaign [20] to raise financing, and rewards include an Alexander Payne autographed poster, autographed DVD of your choice, or lunch with Mr. Payne.
In 2000 he did an uncredited polish-up of the screenplay for the comedy hit Meet the Parents. In 2001 Payne wrote a draft of Jurassic Park III.
Payne served as an executive producer on the films King of California and The Savages. He also teamed up once again with writing partner Jim Taylor to write a draft of the screenplay for the film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, a comedy directed by Dennis Dugan, and starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. Payne disliked the final product, stating that Adam Sandler rewrote so much of the story that almost all of what Payne and Taylor wrote was gone.
Payne's films often revolve around adultery in marriage and relationships. He has set many of his films in Omaha. He has scenes of historical landmarks and museums in his films, and tends to use non-actors for minor roles (real cops play cops, real teachers play teachers, etc.).[7][21] He frequently incorporates telephone monologues as a dramatic device. He also tends to cast actor Phil Reeves in his films.
Inspired by silent comedies, Payne uses realism in his films. "Sentimentality is a dirty word to me." He strives for adult commercial American film inspired by 1970s cinema "where acting style more approximates real life and is relatively free of contrivance and device."[22]
Payne is on the short list of directors who have final cut rights for their films.[23]
In 2005, he became a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Directors Branch).
His writing partner is Jim Taylor. Payne describes the writing set-up, saying "they always worked in the same room -- 'Dick van Dyke [Show] style' -- usually with one monitor and two keyboards, but sometimes with two monitors and two keyboards that are connected and make it look 'like we're playing Battleship.'"[12]
In 2012 he was named as a member of the Jury for the Main Competition at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[24] His 2013 film Nebraska was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.[25] With the "Nebraska" Academy Awards nomination in 2014, Payne has been nominated for the 6th time.
Payne married Korean-Canadian actress Sandra Oh on January 1, 2003, after dating her for three years, and directing her in Sideways. On March 12, 2005, a publicist announced their separation. The divorce was officially finalized on December 22, 2006,[26] although the former couple took more than two years to settle their finances.[27][28][29]
Payne is on the Board of Directors of an Omaha non-profit film theater, Film Streams.[7] He maintains a passion for preservation. In recent years, he helped preserve a historic film theater in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.[30]
Payne, along with childhood friend Ann Beeder, bought downtown Omaha Chinese restaurant, King Fong. King Fong was known for its inlaid pearl tables, and had a secret speak easy upstairs and Chinese décor.[31]
