populations than communities with no commercial hazardous-waste facilities. In the United States in 1993, for example, the percentage of people of color (defined as everyone except non-Hispanic whites) was 14.4 percent in zip code areas with no commercial hazardous-waste facilities, 29.5 percent in areas with one facility, and 45.6 percent in areas with three or more facilities, an incinerator, or a large landfill. A similar trend had been evident in 1980. Communities with lower per capita incomes were also more likely to be situated near commercial hazardous-waste sites as well. The original study was one of the important factors in motivating a substantial response to the environmental justice issue from the federal government.
Another national study of hazardous-waste sites used census tracts as the unit of analysis as opposed to zip codes (Anderton et al., 1994). Anderton and colleagues examined the differences in race, class, and economic indicators between the populations in census tracts with treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) and those without TSDFs. Although they found no difference in the mean percentage of the population that was African American, that had incomes below the poverty level, or that was on welfare, they did find differences in the percentages of the population that were Hispanic (9.4 percent in census tracts with one or more TSDFs and 7.74 percent in those with none) and that were employed in manufacturing (38.6 and 30.6 percent, respectively). Additionally, Anderton and colleagues (1994) found that the differences became more noticeable in the areas surrounding the census tracts with TSDFs—that is, tracts with TSDFs and ''other tracts that have at least 50 percent of their area within a 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) radius of the center of a tract containing a TSDF" (Brown, 1995, p. 18). Using that level of analysis, Anderton and colleagues found that populations of the areas surrounding TSDFs have higher mean percentages of African Americans (24.7 percent, compared with 13.6 percent in census tracts outside the larger unit of analysis), of Hispanics, (10.7 and

Shefki Kuqi - The Magician?
Sky Sports presenter Chris Kamara has defended Newcastle's signing of Shefki Kuqi. Chris Kamara: "You have to say needs must. "[Newcastle] lost their best striker at a minute to 11pm on the transfer deadline. They had no time whatsoever to make contingency plans or Alan Pardew didn't because he was thinking I want to keep Andy Carroll. "They should have made contingency plans within those 24 hours but they didn't so they've left themselves short. So now you can only sign players who are not at any football club. "Shefki Kuqi is adding to the numbers. If he comes on as a substitute and causes a few problems he's done alright for Alan Pardew. "If he comes on and scores a goal, he's done brilliant. If he plays the best football of his career then he's been a magician and Alan Pardew will be carried round Newcastle on the fans shoulders."

Childhood growth and cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stressors in late adulthood
Feldt, K., Räikkönen, K., Eriksson, J.G., Andersson, S., Osmond, C., Barker, D.J.P., Phillips, D.I.W. and Kajantie, E. (2008) Childhood growth and cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stressors in late adulthood. Journal of Internal Medicine, 264, (1), 72-82. (doi:10.1111/j.1365-2796.2008.01923.x).
Full text not available from this repository.
OBJECTIVE: Specific childhood growth patterns relate to risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease later in life, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We studied whether CV reactivity, a predictor of CV disease risk, is associated with childhood growth trajectories. METHODS: A total of 144 (77 women and 67 men) participants of the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study born 1934-1944, whose height and weight were recorded repeatedly during the first 11 years, underwent the Trier Social Stress Test at the average age of 63 years. Beat-to-beat blood pressure was monitored via noninvasive finger photoplethysmograph (Finometer), and CV reactivity scores were determined as the mean increment from baseline. RESULTS: In both women and men, systolic blood pressure (SBP) reactivity increased by 3.8 mmHg (95% CI 0.8-6.9) and diastolic BP (DBP) reactivity by 1.4 mmHg (95% CI 0.0-2.8) for every standard deviation increase in gain in body mass index (kg m(-2)) between 7 and 11 years. By contrast, effects of height gain were dissimilar between sexes. In women, higher DBP reactivity was associated with a slow gain in height between 0 and 2 years, whilst in men higher SBP reactivity was associated with a slow gain in height between 2 and 7 years, which was preceded by a more rapid gain in height between 0 and 2 years. Adjusting for adult body size, body size at birth or childhood socio-economic status did not change the results. CONCLUSIONS: We found that growth during childhood is associated with CV reactivity to stress later in adulthood. Early life programming of CV reactivity may partly underlie the link between early growth and CV disease.

Abstract: | A technology for manufacturing an aluminium grid onto a silicon wafer has been developed. The grid is fixed parallel and precisely to the wafer (anode) surface at a distance of 50 mm by means of insulating pillars. When some 400V are applied between the grid and (anode) wafer, gas multiplication occurs: primary electrons from the drift space above the grid enter the holes and cause electron avalanches in the high-field region between the grid and the anode. Production and operational characteristics of the device are described. With this newly developed technology, CMOS (pixel) readout chips can be covered with a gas multiplication grid. Such a chip forms, together with the grid, an integrated device which can be applied as readout in a wide field of gaseous detectors.

The world's largest retailer Walmart will be a 'speck' in India's market and its absence won't make a huge difference in the country, Finance Minister P Chidambaram has said.
"Walmart will be a speck in India's retail market. India's retail market is driven by millions of standalone stores. India's retail market has been strengthened by Indian retail chains. So why do we assume that Walmart will make a huge difference to India's retail market?" the Finance Minister told CNBC-TV18 in an interview.
He was replying to a question on whether Walmart's move to part ways with joint venture partner Bharti Enterprises was a setback for the Indian retail sector.
Bharti and Walmart said on October 9 that they have reached an agreement to independently own and operate separate business formats in India and discontinue their franchise agreement in the retail business.
The US retail giant has been pitching for relaxing local sourcing norms under the foreign direct investment policy for multi—brand retail. The Indian government has said there is no plan to relax the mandatory 30 per cent local sourcing norms for foreign players in the sector.

Creating OnMetal Cloud Servers
OnMetal Cloud Servers enables you to boot bare metal servers via the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel interface. Use the following steps to set up an OnMetal server through the Control Panel.
- Create OnMetal Cloud Server in Control Panel
- Boot your server
- Logging in or deleting a server
- Using OnMetal
Note: For the parallel steps in the API, see Using OnMetal Cloud Servers through the API.
Create an OnMetal server in the Cloud Control Panel
- Log in to the Cloud Control Panel.
The Cloud Servers list opens by default.
- Click the Create Server button.
- On the Create Server page, click the OnMetal Server tab.
- In the Server Details section, enter a name for the server and select the region in which the server will reside.
Note: OnMetal servers are currently available only in the Northern Virginia (IAD) region. This list will be expanded as other regions become available.
- Select an image for the server.
Note: Run the CentOS 6.5 image only on a Linux Kernel release of 3.10 or later, to avoid performance degradation.
- In the Flavor section, choose the appropriate configuration for your workload. Click each flavor for a description.
- All flavors have a 32 GB system disk.
- All flavors include dual 10 GigE NICs in a high-availability bonded configuration and use VLAN tagging to access ServiceNet (for traffic within a Rackspace region) and PublicNet (the Internet).
- Assign a public key to the server by either selecting an existing key or adding a new one:
- To assign an existing public key, select the key name in the SSH Keys list, and skip to step 13.
- To add a new public key, continue with the next step. IMPORTANT: OnMetal servers must be created using an SSH key pair. For information about generating a public and private key pair, see Manage SSH Key Pairs for Cloud Servers with python-novaclient.
- To add a new public key, click Add Public Key. Note: If you have previously added your public key, this option is labeled Manage SSH Keys.
- Give your new public key a name.
- In the Region field, confirm the region in which your key will be used.
- Paste your entire public key in the Public Key field, and then click Add Public Key.
- Confirm that your key is listed in the SSH Keys list for your new server and select it.
- As needed, create a new network and select the PublicNet and ServiceNet options.
- Click Create Server. Your server is built.
Boot the server
In the right column of the Control Panel, click the link under Log Into Your Server Now in the right column to log in to your server. For more information, see Connecting to a server using SSH on Linux or Mac OS for further information.
Use the following command to boot your OnMetal server.
supernova iad boot --flavor flavorId --image imageId --key-name keyName serverName
For example:
supernova iad boot --flavor onmetal-compute1 --image 1387253c-7735-4542-9612-26bc9ff77a9d --key-name johndoe onmetal-test
You should see output similar to the following example:
+------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | status | BUILD | | updated | 2014-05-31T00:23:29Z | | OS-EXT-STS:task_state | scheduling | | key_name | johndoe | | image | OnMetal - Debian 7 (Wheezy) | | hostId | | | OS-EXT-STS:vm_state | building | | flavor | OnMetal I/O v1 | | id | a8ea2366-9e50-4604-b6ce-e3edb8750451 | | user_id | 83362 | | name | teeth5 | | adminPass | 6FgtaEqkapRo | | tenant_id | 545251 | | created | 2014-05-31T00:23:29Z | | OS-DCF:diskConfig | MANUAL | | accessIPv4 | | | accessIPv6 | | | progress | 0 | | OS-EXT-STS:power_state | 0 | | config_drive | | | metadata | {} | +------------------------+--------------------------------------+
Note: Although this output displays an admin password, this password is not actually used. You can safely ignore it.
The server should take about five minutes to build. You can check the status by running the following command:
supernova iad show instanceId
The output should look like the following example:
+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | status | ACTIVE | | updated | 2014-05-31T00:27:34Z | | OS-EXT-STS:task_state | None | | private network | 10.184.0.48 | | key_name | johndoe | | image | OnMetal - Debian 7 (Wheezy) (1387253c-7735-4542-9612-26bc9ff77a9d) | | hostId | 8a12611e45a1e15a1aec221ab05c8494524d6bf00e7fb17c5c82722a | | OS-EXT-STS:vm_state | active | | public network | 184.108.40.206 | | flavor | OnMetal I/O v1 (onmetal-io1) | | id | a8ea2366-9e50-4604-b6ce-e3edb8750451 | | user_id | 83362 | | name | teeth5 | | created | 2014-05-31T00:23:29Z | | tenant_id | 545251 | | OS-DCF:diskConfig | MANUAL | | accessIPv4 | 22.214.171.124 | | accessIPv6 | | | progress | 0 | | OS-EXT-STS:power_state | 1 | | config_drive | | | metadata | {} | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Within a few minutes, the server is assigned a public and private IP address, which you can see in the output of the show command. After the status becomes ACTIVE, the server boots for the first time. The server is not reachable, however, until the network configuration is complete, which might take another few minutes.
Log in to the server
After the server has booted, use the SSH key pair that you specified to log in to the server.
Note: CoreOS requires you to sign in as "core."
ssh root@publicIpAddress
Delete the server
If needed, you can also delete or cancel the server.
- Run the following command, replacing the example ID with your server's ID:
supernova iad delete a8ea2366-9e50-4604-b6ce-e3edb8750451
- Use the following command to see the progress:
supernova iad list
The output should look similar to the following example:
+--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks | +--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------------+ | d1d58868-2b14-4fa5-b01f-e51d658556a8 | highcpu | ACTIVE | deleting | Running | public=184.108.40.206; private=10.184.0.105 | +--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------------+
Note: Your server goes into the task state deleting. OnMetal server deletions take longer than virtual server deletions, usually a few minutes.
Using OnMetal
The flash cards included with the OnMetal I/O flavor are unformatted. You can RAID and format them however you like. For more information, see Configure flash drives in High I/O instances as Data drives.

The Power of the Pap
Posted on byBy Cynthia A. Gelb
Director of CDC's Inside Knowledge: Get the Facts About Gynecologic Cancer Campaign
On a recent morning, I ran into a former colleague who mentioned that her friend, a very young woman, died of ovarian cancer. While we talked about the sad fact that there is no recommended screening test for ovarian cancer, it occurred to me—not for the first time—that we owe so much to Dr. Georgios Papanikolaou (also known as Dr. George Papanicolaou), the inventor of the Pap test.
According to the World Health Organization, cervical cancer is still a leading cause of death for women around the world—mostly in low- and middle-income countries. However, during the past 40 years in the United States, the number of women dying from cervical cancer has decreased dramatically, largely because of the Pap test. In 2010, according to the most recent numbers we have
- 11,818 women in the United States were diagnosed with cervical cancer.
- 3,939 women in the United States died from cervical cancer.
We have become so used to the routine of getting regular Pap tests, that we take the power of the Pap for granted. But think about it—isn't it amazing that this cancer screening test helps PREVENT cancer?! (The Pap test finds precancerous changes on the cervix so they can be treated before they ever turn into cancer. It can also find cervical cancer early, at a highly treatable and curable stage.)
The current success of the Pap test is much different from how it was received early on. When Dr. Papanikolaou presented a paper titled "New Cancer Diagnosis" in 1928, explaining that vaginal smears could detect uterine cancer, the medical and scientific community largely dismissed the findings. (At that time, and for many years to follow, medical coding dictated that cervical and endometrial cancers were combined under one term: uterine cancer.) He became discouraged and worked on other studies, until a decade later further research confirmed his original findings: that smear samples led to earlier diagnoses of uterine cancer.
More research followed and around mid-century, increasing numbers of scientists and physicians became believers. The "Pap" test, as it was now called, was finally on its way to becoming widely adopted as a screening exam for cervical cancer. In 1960, the American Medical Association began recommending Pap tests for women. Dr. Papanicolaou died just two years later.
Of course, much has happened since—there are changes in recommendations for when to begin getting a Pap test, how often to have the test, when to have an HPV (human papillomavirus) test, and perhaps the biggest advancement yet: the availability of the HPV vaccine for young people that holds promise for eliminating cervical cancer altogether! Please check out our infographic for the latest recommendations.
So, in January (National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month) and all through the year, you may want to give a nod to Dr. Georgios Papanikolaou. Hundreds of thousands of women are alive today because of this amazing researcher who changed everything.

Press release from Marketwire
Sama Intersects up to 32 Metres at 1.67% Nickel at the Newly Discovered Gogota Laterite Plateau at its Lola Project in Guinee
Thursday, March 07, 2013
Sama Intersects up to 32 Metres at 1.67% Nickel at the Newly Discovered Gogota Laterite Plateau at its Lola Project in Guinee07:00 EST Thursday, March 07, 2013VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 7, 2013) -Sama Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SME) ("Sama") is pleased to announce assay results for 4 additional holes drilled at the newly discovered nickel-cobalt rich laterite deposit (the "Gogota Deposit") within its Lola Project in eastern Guinée, West Africa, located adjacent to Sama's Samapleu Project across the border in Côte d'Ivoire. Assay results for 21 holes have been received so far.A total of 27 new prospective laterite plateaus have been identified at the Lola Project since the start of the regional exploration program in April 2011. The combined surface area of the 27 laterite plateaus is 7.8 km2.Sama's 2011-2012 exploration work found, at surface, numerous Samapleu-type pyroxenite and gabbro occurrences (typical hosts for nickel-copper massive sulphide mineralization at the Samapleu nickel-copper deposits in Côte d'Ivoire), through Sama's systematic stream sediments sampling and surface geological mapping. The combination of these newly found nickel rich laterite plateaus, together with pyroxenite and gabbro occurrences found at surface, are clear indications of the highly prospective potential for base metals in Sama's Lola Project. Exploration work is continuing.Drilling was performed using 2 Jacro 175 core drill rigs owned by Sama. Core logging and sampling were performed at Sama's facility in Gogota village. Sample preparations were performed by Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratory's facility in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire ("BVML"), and then dispatched by BVML directly to their assay laboratory, Inspectorate Metals and Minerals, in Rustenburg, South Africa. All samples were assayed for nickel, cobalt and all major oxides using peroxide fusion XRF. Scandium has been determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.The table set out below shows the details of the mineralized intervals for 21 holes drilled at the Gogota Deposit. Intervals were defined using 1.0% nickel cut-off grades.HOLE-IDSEQUENCEFROMmTOmLENGTHmNickel%Cobalt%Iron%MGO%SIO2%ScandiumGrams/ tonneGG34-800400116.0027.0011.001.490.1033.4412.3023.3334GG34-80080025.5027.5022.001.430.1447.982.948.6331GG34-80020038.0037.0029.001.670.1435.998.7821.6029GG35-40060048.0023.5015.502.390.0834.4512.2723.2422September 13, 2012:GG35-40080056.0022.5016.501.360.1544.055.1011.7629GG45-40020065.7015.109.401.410.1135.7011.8420.9238GG44-8004007Outside the deposit GG25-40020084.0022.5018.501.420.1453.690.305.8331GG25-400400916.5045.5029.001.950.1039.169.3415.5728GG25-400600106.0023.0017.001.340.1549.810.744.4029GG25-400800115.0025.8020.801.220.1450.500.664.1825GG35-400200122.4022.0019.601.670.1133.4711.3919.3422GG35-400400132.1013.6511.551.320.1746.015.0010.1633GG35-80040014Below cut-off grade GG24-800800154.0029.0025.001.440.1244.136.8112.3630GG24-4008001627.5029.502.001.110.0213.5011.2641.6520GG24-800600178.2030.8022.601.290.2151.640.458.4729Newly received assay results:GG24-800400183.2035.5032.301.670.1135.2510.4020.6433GG34-400200197.0029.8522.851.300.1851.420.724.2538GG34-8006002010.5028.0017.501.670.1440.205.8616.5229GG44-800200211.5028.4026.901.590.1139.136.4013.7337An updated compilation of details of showings, deposits and locations may be viewed on Sama's website at http://www.samaresources.com/i/pdf/Sama_Corporate_Presentation.pdf.The Lola Project in Guinée is currently in its exploration phase.

Probate & Cross Border Estate Planning
In focusing on international clientele, we are cognizant that our business clients have personal needs as well. The number of people who live or have family living in more than one country increases daily. More and more clients have international investments or multinational business interests. Such individuals have unique concerns when providing for their families and protecting their commercial interests in the event of death or incapacity, and almost always require high-level advance planning.
Martensen Wright PC is well-equipped to provide the sophisticated multi-national planning its clients need. Keeping pace with a new, dynamic world, our attorneys focus on each client's individual needs to develop a customized plan which addresses the following:
- U.S. gift and generation-skipping transfer taxation
- Jurisdiction selection and conflicts of laws
- Specialized planning to anticipate future jurisdictional changes
- Protection and transfer of assets to local and foreign beneficiaries
- International income and estate tax, including the creation of U.S. and non-U.S. entities and structures
Martensen Wright PC also focuses on International probate. Special expertise is required and can be provided by Martensen Wright PC with respect to international probate and family law matters, especially in relation to the Scandinavian countries. For example, if you are inheriting assets that are located in United States and you have completed the probate process in Denmark, this does not automatically mean that you can obtain the assets located in the United States. In fact, you would have to go through the United States probate process again. This can be very burdensome, and extensive knowledge of the other country's probate law is required to be successful.

Shalom to all. Prayer is the weapon of the Jews. Please continue to pray that Hashem (Gd)to have mercy on all Jews and through the Jews it comes to the righteous members of the Nations who do NOT hate Jews. Jewish males work on your personal holiness meaning do NOT look at immodest women, pictures etc. Try very hard not to fantasize on such things. Remember Jews are one body and when Jews sin, it effects all the Jews and subsequently the world. If you are still living outside of Israel start selling things that you do NOT need, complete the Jewish agency application, update or get passports. Why?
The Federal Reserve which is independant of America is buying more US treasuries which means America is still printing money. Historically that means high inflation. The US dollar will be worth less. Historically, when a country has a bad economy is it is BAD news for the Jews of that country. Just ask Greek Jews. - AnonymousOctober 3, 2012 at 10:50 PM
I forgot to tell you, that is preferable NOT to sell your items during Chol Moed of Succot (Feast of the Taberacle). It is better to wait until the Chag (holiday is over) for Gd willing a blessing. May we (the Jews) have a successful aliyah(move to Israel)on all levels.

Today Rav Fish`s words (interpretations) will be proven:
"...The Vilna Gaon on the Mechilta (Shmos 14:20) and the Midrash Talpiyos (Gog) say, that the Gog U'Magog war shall begin three hours before "Hanetz Hachama" (crack of dawn) on Hoshana Rabba, and shall last three hours only. This is why we say " הוֹשַׁעְנָא שָׁלֹש שָׁעוֹת " If we connect this to what the Zohar quoted above said that the war will be in the 73rd year of the century, it comes out that the war shall take place on Hoshana Rabba of 5773.
The date 773 equals "crack of dawn on Hoshana Rabba":
.תשע"ג בְּגִימַטְרִיָּא הָנֵץ הֹשַׁעְנָא רַבָּא
.... Please comment. I just returned from spending Sukkot in Israel. I arrived the Shabbat before Sukkot and sadly left the Wednesday after Simchat Torah. I HIGHLY recommend everyone spend Sukkot in Israel. There is nothing like it in the world. I will be forever grateful for the overwhelming feeling of joy that I experienced on Simchat Torah. It fills my heart each time I think of the beautiful details, hakafot beginning at my son's amazing Yeshiva Orayta gathering people, dancing, singing and ending up at the Kottel's promenade. then rain... WoW
Pesach in Israel... I pray!
Devorah thank God you are back. I was worried about you and missed you. Please don't leave us again :)

severe explosive diarrhea
woke up this morning and took out the dog and was greeted with EXPLOSIVE diarrhea! its like you turn on the jet setting on a hose and it comes shooting out...so i took him back inside and fed him breakfast and he only ate half of it, didnt care about the rest...(hes fed Acana Grasslands and also probiotics daily).
i took him to the vet, but they insisted on not running tests cuz he has had soft stools before (although i tried to explain its not the same problem this time)...so they prescribed Albon for him, and said he has Cystoisosporiasis.. for some reason im not settled with what the vet says since they didnt even run a single dam test on him. He hasnt gotten into anything at my place, and hes in his crate at night. all his toys are intact and nothing is missing...can this really be Cystoisosporiasis? |

Check out Overview - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
There is information there on: EPI SIBO/ARD To diagnose those there is a 12 hour fasting blood test that goes to Texas A/M (typically). It could be coccidia: Coccidia which is what I am thinking they said it was? Or here are others: CDC - Parasites - Alphabetical Index of Parasitic Diseases Those things might show up on a fecal test, or a fecal PCR test: CDC - Parasites - Alphabetical Index of Parasitic Diseases I did have a dog with giardia years ago, which has a different treatment, and she was like a garden hose. ONE drink out of a puddle! ONE! Now my dogs know they aren't allowed. Sounds like you want more info and good for you. |

That is too bad about your vet not doing a fecal test. Any other vets in the area?
I am not familiar with the condition you described. "Explosive" diarrhea is very typical in humans and dogs who have Giardia and usually treated with Metronidazole. Also when taking antibiotics it is good to take probiotics. Some antibiotic medications have a side effect of diarrhea. Putting your dog on a bland diet is very helpful for a few days, relax the GI system. |

yeah im about to get a second opinion from another vet tomorrow....that drug they prescribed, Albon, would that treat other parasites such as giardia? i thought he had giardia too, but the vet was like since he has tested negative so many times before, then i doubt thats the cause this time... which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me as he has never had explosive diarrhea like this before...oh well hopefully the second vet runs a fecal. again, do you think Albon treats this type of stuff?

How old is this dog?
Could be a number of things...first thing to do is find a new vet, have a fecal sample run and check for things like giardia, coccidia, etc. If the fecal comes back clear, and he's not a young puppy (a year old plus) I would test for EPI. |

What sometimes happens is the vet may give you a broad spectrum antibiotic, get a fecal test, and then after the test results the medication might change and get more specific. I am not familiar with Albon. |

Could possibly be Giardia or maybe some worms....Fecal testing for Giardia is only 50% accurate. SNAP Giardia test will give you 90% confirmation accuracy if your dog has giardia or not. http://www.idexx.com/view/xhtml/en_u...jsf?SSOTOKEN=0
Metronidazole has been found to be 60 to 70% effective against Giardia. It works in some dogs and is able to eliminate Giardia. When treating giardia with metr. the treatment period should be 5-7 days. Fenbendazole (Panacur ingredient) has been also found to be 90% effective against Giardia. Albon is generally used for coccidia - When treating coccidia with Albon the treatment may need to be done for up to 21 days I suggest talking to your vet about these options and possibly performing SNAP Giardia test in order to (hopefully) rule out Giardia. I am not veterinarian hence please discuss with your vet any medication and treatment prior to giving any medication to your dog. |

The Historic Voodoo Museum displays a collection of artifacts and information on voodoo as it is practiced in New Orleans. It is touristy, but the presence of voodoo practitioners provide an element of authenticity.
The New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum was founded in 1972 by Charles Massicot Gandolfo, a resident of New Orleans whose grandmother used to tell him tales about a voodoo queen in the family's past. An artist who was fascinated with the history and culture of his hometown, Gandolfo opened the museum to share his interest in voodoo with others.
The museum consists of two dark and dusty rooms filled with a jumble of artifacts, ranging from voodoo dolls to various mummified animals. The museum's staff is happy to explain the artifacts and there is usually a voodoo priestess available to do readings and make personal gris-gris bags. For those who wish to learn more about voodoo, the museum can arrange visits to voodoo rituals or schedule more in-depth personal readings.

Clinical Trials: In clinical trials, 210 domestic and 2,130 foreign adult subjects/patients received BACTROBAN NASAL (mupirocin calcium ointment) ointment. Less than 1% of domestic or foreign subjects and patients in clinical trials were withdrawn due to adverse events.
The most frequently reported adverse events in foreign clinical trials were as follows: rhinitis (1.0%), taste perversion (0.8%), pharyngitis (0.5%).
In domestic clinical trials, 17% (36/210) of adults treated with BACTROBAN NASAL ointment reported adverse events thought to be at least possibly drug-related. The incidence of adverse events that were reported in at least 1% of adults enrolled in domestic clinical trials were as follows:
% of Subjects/Patients Experiencing Event BACTROBAN NASAL (mupirocin calcium ointment) (n=210) |
Headache | 9% |
Rhinitis | 6% |
Respiratory disorder, including upper respiratory tract congestion | 5% |
Pharyngitis | 4% |
Taste perversion | 3% |
Burning/stinging | 2% |
Cough | 2% |
Pruritus | 1% |
The following events thought possibly drug-related were reported in less than 1% of adults enrolled in domestic clinical trials: Blepharitis, diarrhea, dry mouth, ear pain, epistaxis, nausea, and rash.
All adequate and well-controlled clinical trials have been performed using BACTROBAN NASAL (mupirocin calcium ointment) ointment, 2% in 1 arm and the vehicle ointment in the other arm of the study. No adequate and well-controlled safety data are available from direct, head-to-head comparative studies of this product and other products for this indication.
Read the Bactroban Nasal (mupirocin calcium ointment) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
The effect of the concurrent application of intranasal mupirocin calcium and other intranasal products has not been studied. Until further information is known, mupirocin calcium ointment, 2% should not be applied concurrently with any other intranasal products. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: Long-term studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential of mupirocin calcium have not been conducted.
Results of the following studies performed with mupirocin calcium or mupirocin sodium in vitro and in vivo did not indicate a potential for mutagenicity: Rat primary hepatocyte unscheduled DNA synthesis, sediment analysis for DNA strand breaks, Salmonella reversion test (Ames), Escherichia coli mutation assay, metaphase analysis of human lymphocytes, mouse lymphoma assay, and bone marrow micronuclei assay in mice.
Reproduction studies were performed in rats with mupirocin administered subcutaneously at doses up to 40 times the human intranasal dose (approximately 20 mg mupirocin per day) on a mg/m2 basis and revealed no evidence of impaired fertility from mupirocin sodium.

Lieutenant John Heard was the commander of a small element of the 3rd US Cavalry, dispatched from Florida on an ammunition and supply ship, the USS Wanderer, to re-supply insurgent forces in Cuba. After landing only six miles from a strong Spanish fort at Bahia Hondo to deliver ammunition and supplies to the native allies of the American forces in Cuba, Heard's small detachment was attacked by a vastly superior enemy force. Heard's leadership and valor enabled his men to organize and resist, whereupon he ordered a withdrawal to their ship. During the return to the Wanderer, the Spanish attacked again, taking the Americans and Cubans under heavy fire. While any number of these actions might have qualified Lieutenant Heard for the Medal of Honor, his citation actually cites him for heroism in the withdrawal stating: "After 2 men had been shot down by Spaniards while transmitting orders to the engine-room on the Wanderer, the ship having become disabled, this officer took the position held by them and personally transmitted the orders, remaining at his post until the ship was out of danger." |
John Heard graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point, Class of 1883. |
