...weekend, a European delegation makes the E.U.'s first official visit to Zimbabwe since it imposed sanctions on Mugabe and his lieutenants in 2002. Mugabe welcomed them "with open arms" before the talks began in Harare on Saturday. But E.U. development commissioner Karel De Gucht, who is leading the two-day mission with Swedish development minister Gunilla Carlsson, was careful not to name names before he set off. "There is an urgent need for all parties to fulfill their obligations," he said. "By doing this, the E.U. can once again fully re-engage with Zimbabwe and help the country...
...1970s and '80s were a boom era for telethons in general, with airtime set aside for appeals for all kinds of products. A two-day telethon in 1975 raised $52,000 to help California's Fresno County Sheriff Guy Langley pay legal expenses after he was charged with laundering campaign funds. (He later pleaded no contest and resigned his position.) Australia held a telethon to fund its 1984 Olympic team. In Argentina, a fundraising program was broadcast to finance the country's two-month war in 1982 with England over the Falkland Islands. (The islands are now a self-governing...

And why is it served with celery? (Read about Super Bowl snack foods...
...Griffiths teaches the Whole Hog Cooking Class, a two-day event that is a hands-on experience, not a sit-and-sip cooking demonstration. Demand is growing so quickly, he has had to add more classes, tripling the number since he began in 2007. Students arrive at the event to see a whole hog's head simmering in a pot in preparation for making an herb-infused, French-style headcheese. The rest of the hog, raised by a local veterinarian and rancher, is then broken down for a variety of dishes, including sausages, rendered lard, rillettes...
...committee recommend eliminating acetaminophen-containing prescription drugs but not over-the-counter products? The members based their decision on the studies and data that were presented to them during the two-day meeting. The vast majority of studies linking liver failure to acetaminophen use involve prescription acetaminophen products, such as Vicodin or Percocet. More than 60% of the acetaminophen-associated liver problems occurred in patients using prescription medications, while only 10% occurred in those using nonprescription pain remedies. "The recommendations of the committee are based not on the logic of what we think is happening but on the data presented...
