manchester united vs burnley

Burnley, who have recently employed Brian Laws as their new manager, will be attempting to repeat their shock 1-0 win in August but that wonb�t be easy. Form away from Turf Moor has been their Achilles heel b� theyb�ve not won on their travels in the league all season. And having not won anywhere, home or away, in the last nine league games, they look to be heading in the wrong direction at the moment. United however, will be looking to increase the pressure on title leaders Chelsea, after failing to capture the full three points last week at St Andrewb�s. Manchester Unitedb�s uphill injury battle is nearing its end with key players within touching distance of return. Edwin Van Der Sar and Rio Ferdinand could both be in contention for a possible return after returning to training this week. In addition to Rio and Edwin, Ben Foster, Nemanja Vidic and Nani could also be in contention again recovering from their various injuries. Dimitar Berbatov however could face a lengthy spell out with his persistent knee problem. The Bulgarian captain, who has recently been named The Bulgarian player of the year, has been told he could be forced to a have surgery on his troublesome knee. The Clarets, meanwhile, are an almost fully fit side with only one player defiantly out- the skipper Steven Caldwell. Martin Paterson could be in contention for a return but is only likely to make the bench after recovering from a knee problem. Likewise, Stephen Jordan is set to appear after serving his one match ban for dissent.

motrin recall 2009

There were a few small, specific Tylenol recalls in 2009. First, in September, Tylenol recalled 80-milligram Childrenb�s Tylenol Meltaways packaged in bottles and blisters, 80-milligram Childrenb�s Tylenol SoftChews packaged in blisters, and 160-milligram Jr. Tylenol Meltaways packaged in blisters. That recall was because of confusing dosage instructions. Then, foreshadowing the Tylenol recall in 2010, in December Tylenol recalled Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap because users reported a moldy smell, and some experienced nausea and sickness. Well, apparently that nausea-inducing moldy smell was present in more than just the Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap. Tylenol parent company Johnson & Johnson might end up needing to hit up some money lenders to stay in the over-the-counter drug business. Tylenol recall 2010 Here we are, day 15 of 2010. Johnson & Johnson division McNeil-PPC has issued recalls on the following: junior strength Motrin childrenb�s Tylenol grape meltaway tablets extra strength Tylenol extra strength Tylenol rapid release gelcap extra strength Tylenol PM geltab Motrin caplets extra strength Rolaids fresh mint tablets St. Joseph Aspirin chewable orange tablets Um, is that all? Furthermore, after the Tylenol recall of 2010, who is going to trust any of their products. The reason for the massive Tylenol recall of 2010 is, again, b�unusual moldy, musty or mildew-likeb� odor, says CNN Money. The first instances of this problem were reported in 2008. Now the FDA has issued a warning to McNeil. FDA response to Tylenol recall of 2010 Besides the warning letter, the FDA has released public statements, saying: b�The company should have acted faster. All companies have a responsibility to ensure high quality, safety and effectiveness of their products and protect consumers.b� The FDA says it will b�aggressively investigate and solve the problem.b� The warning letter says McNeil has 15 days to report on its efforts to address the current problem and prevent it from reoccurring.

atlanta boat show

Buoyed by a full Lake Lanier and improving economy, the local boating industry is ready for the 48th annual Atlanta Boat Show. Chris Smith, who owns Banner Rama Custom Boat Lettering with husband Mike, said the 2010 event is a great way b�to get my name out there and drum up business for this year.b� The 10-year-old business is making its first appearance at the show, which runs through Sunday at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Itb�s also Steve Thompsonb�s first time participating, though his company, MarineMax of Georgia, is no stranger to the annual event. The boating giant, which has taken part for more than a decade, has one of the largest displays, said Thompson, who manages the Forsyth County location. The show, he said, b�sets the pace for the new boating season.b� b�Itb�s the start of a new boating season with the Atlanta Boat Show for all the boat dealers in the metro area,b� he said. b�Itb�s kind of the kickoff. Itb�s like the Indy 500 of boating.b� With the drought of 2007-09 and slowing economy, the show posted lower turnouts the past couple years. A year ago, the level of Lanier was 1,056.14 feet above sea level. Wednesday morning, it was at 1,070.44, slightly below full pool of 1,071. Last yearb�s drop-off at the show caused Terry Morrisey to shift his priorities. The J&L Dock Supply owner is sitting out this winterb�s show after participating every year since the business opened 15 years ago. The show has, however, helped boost business in the past and he plans to return next year. b�We decided to take a break and do some other stuff here,b� he said. b�Web�ve just got a lot of other projects and web�re doing a lot of work to the facility.b� Chris Smith said 2008 was a difficult year for them, but b�it picked up fairly well in 2009 over 2008.b� Her equipment is at the show, she said, which means she will be able to create boat lettering during the event while advertising the companyb�s services. b�Itb�s just about getting known ... Ib�m introducing myself to everybody out there,b� she said. Show promoters prepared for the drop in numbers last year by introducing the affordability pavilion. The pavilion, which is back this year, showcases boats for those with less disposable income. Thompson said MarineMax has some boats in the pavilion that can be financed for less than $200 a month. The company is offering everything from 13- to 50-foot-boats during the show, he said. Whether people can afford $200 a month or $2,000 a month, Thompson said thereb�s something for everyone. b�We have great expectations,b� he said. b�The economy seems to have stabilized somewhat. It hasnb�t gone into further decline, and peopleb�s passion for recreation and boating never goes down.b�

haiti death tolls

Though Alex Larsen the Haiti Health Minister estimated death tolls may reach 50,000 to 100,000. The other latest updates suggest something else; around 200,000 people are feared dead. Just have a look at the picture here and feel the pain and agony the poor nation is going through right now. The earthquake that hit the island between Wednesday and Tuesday marked their minds with unforgettable memories for the residents out there and their anger is turning into sheer violence. The process of international help and aid seems to be painfully slow and the picture above leaves a message for the modern world that still theyb�ve got to do a lot. During his Friday press conference Alex Larsen was hopeful that loss of lives may not exceed 100,000 but unfortunately, this seems to be an optimistic statement since hundreds of thousands of people still remain unaccounted for. Each day, there are extremely gloomy pictures coming from the calamity hit area showing the dead bodies piled up in the barren streets of Port-au-Prince, the city capital. Larson further added that at least 1.5 million or more of the residents of small island of Haiti have gone homeless and are forced to live without even basic necessities of life such as shelter, food and medical assistance. Port-au-Prince city sport centers, Larson stated would accommodate the injured ones to provide them with whatever medical assistance available with limited sources. If the reports have to be believed, nearly 70 percent of main Haiti buildings in Port-au-Prince alone have been removed from the scene forever following massive shocks. The list included the Presidential Palace, lots of school buildings, hospitals and many of the government office buildings. Though in his recent remarks about Haiti disaster, Obama declared the island has the Temporary Protected Status, plenty of financial, medical and other almost all types of other assistance is what the poor Caribbean nation requires right now.

Sanjay Gupta Twitter

Both Sanjay Gupta and Anderson Cooper are sending twitter remarks of their own as well as of other Haitian people on CNN. This is how through this twitters service; CNN lets the world learn about real time news from Haiti. The news channel has its personnel out there in Haiti with all kind of equipment required to bring the latest updates on the miserable and pity life of island residents. To post the tweets of various people and eyewitnesses, CNN has provided satellite system, satellite phones alongside free Skype video interviewing facilities at Port Au Prince. Dr. Sanjay Gupta alongside Anderson Cooper had been deputed in Haiti capital by CNN where theyb�re engaged in conducting online interviews of the injured or of those that have lost dozens of their loved ones in the disastrous calamity of all times. Their innovative ideas have prompted to fasten the process of outside help and all the major news sources such as Fox News and MSNBC are quoting all type of information being received from the ground via Twitter. There have been countless videos received from CNN sources that reveal extremely gloomy and sad overall situation the people of island are in following the devastating earthquake. All the American as well international viewers are being provided with news that, initially, reaches CNN in a raw shape; mostly some snapshots or twitter remarks to which later, the experts and the analysts transform and translate into real news. One must praise the effort of true b�citizen journalismb� on part of CNN since theyb�re providing the kind uncensored news services through their dedicated staff. This must be considered part of humanitarian efforts thatb�s not only keeping us updated but also lets the Haitian people feel someone is there with a helping hand!

Scott Simon NPR

Scott Simon of NPR has two daughters adopted from China -- 6-year-0ld Elise and 3-year-old Lena.You can listen here to him and his wife talking and singing with Elise, telling her the story (or is she telling them the story?!) of going to China to get her. As he notes in his commentary: Not every question "can be answered by love, fun or ice cream," says NPR's Scott Simon. As part of StoryCorps' National Day of Listening project, Simon explains how he responds when asked, "Where did I come from?" by his 6-year-old daughter, Elise. Simon and his wife, Caroline, adopted Elise and another daughter, 3-year-old Lena, from China. They've grown up knowing they were adopted and are naturally curious about their birth mother. "We don't conceal any details from our daughters b� they're cunning enough to catch us anyway. But every few months they absorb a little more and the older and smarter they get, the more questions they have for which we have no real answers." So far so good -- they know they are adopted, they feel free to ask their parents questions, their curiosity about their birth parents is natural, and no details are concealed. I wish it could leave it as just a cute story, but I have to mention that the story he tells Elise -- we wanted a family, so we went to China -- is woefully incomplete. He is telling HIS story, not hers. I believe that every (and if you've been reading here for a while you know I hardly EVER say EVERY about anything!) adopted child's story should begin with the child's gestation and birth -- "You grew in your birth mother's tummy until it was time for you to be born." Without this piece of the puzzle, an adopted child can't really know what adoption means. Now, it could be that they talk about that piece, too, but you wouldn't be able to tell that from the audio report, so I felt I had to mention it!
