The calculated shipment rate is based on the billable weight. This rate is compared to the rate of the higher weight break, also known as the deficit weight. The customer is billed the lower of the two rates.
For example, assume a 990 lb shipment using the following rate bands:
151 - 999 lbs: $10.39 per lb
1,000 + lbs: $9.91 per lb
The rate is calculated using the billable weight of 990 lb x $10.39 per lb = $10,286.10.
The shipment is also rated using the higher weight band, which is 1,000 lb x $9.91 = $9,910.

Albedo of the Earth's terrestrial surface as measured by the TERRA satellite. Data collected from the period April 7-22, 2002. (Source: NASA Earth Observatory).
Albedo is the fraction of Sun's radiation reflected from a surface. The term has its origins from the Latin word albus, meaning "white". It is quantified as the proportion, or percentage of solar radiation of all wavelengths reflected by a body or surface to the amount incident upon it. An ideal white body has an albedo of 100% and an ideal black body, 0%. Visually we can estimate the albedo of an object's surface from its tone or color. This method suggests that albedo becomes higher as an object gets lighter in shade. The data in Table 1 verifies this fact. Light toned surfaces like snow do have high albedos. Low albedos are associated with surfaces that appear dark colored to our eyes. Some dark colored surfaces include black-top roads, coniferous forest, and dark soil. Table 1 also indicates that the albedo of water varies with Sun angle. When Sun angles are high, water tends to absorb more than 95% of the insolation falling on it. At low Sun angles, the surface of water becomes much more reflective.
On average the Earth and its atmosphere typically reflect about 4% and 26%, respectively, of the Sun's incoming radiation back to space over the course of one year. As a result, the earth-atmosphere system has a combined albedo of about 30%, a value that is dependent on a number of factors including soil type, vegetation cover, and cloud distribution.
The reflectance of locations on the Earth's surface exhibit large geographic variation. Mean annual albedo values differ considerably between the equator and the poles, largely due to the presence of snow and ice-covered surfaces. As the characteristics of a surface change from one season to another, so do its reflectance properties. This fact is most evident throughout the high latitudes, where snow cover and ice extent reach maximum values during the cold seasons, significantly increasing the surface reflectance values. Melting in the spring exposes bare soils that absorb a significantly greater portion of the incoming solar radiation, decreasing the albedo values.
Global measurements of the Earth's surface albedo can be determined with the aid of sensors aboard orbiting space satellites. NASA's Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) was one of the first attempts of making such measurements. This experiment used a variety of satellite sensors aboard Nimbus-7, NOAA-9, and the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) to monitor the Earth's albedo for a period of about four years. Figures 1 and 2 show the monthly average surface albedo of the Earth for January and July, 1987. In these figures, most of the reflective properties of the atmosphere have been removed. The patterns seen here are probably representative for most other years. For both January and July, the lowest surface albedos occur over oceans in a zone that covers more than 100 degrees of latitude. Albedo values of this zone are between 8 and 13%, and the center of this zone shifts seasonally. In July, the low albedo zone is located approximately at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N), while in January it migrates to the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S). At the higher latitudes, the albedo of the ocean surface increases significantly because of low Sun angles or the presence of sea ice. In the July image, the region occupied by the Arctic Ocean has an albedo between 45 to 60%. On the Earth's terrestrial surface, vegetated areas have an albedo from 15 to 25%. Non-vegetated regions like the Sahara Desert reflect about 30 to 40% of the Sun's incoming light. Other land surfaces with high albedos are glaciers and seasonal snowfields. The large glaciers covering Greenland and Antarctica reflect as much as 75% of the insolation falling on their surfaces. Comparing the January and July images, we can see that the albedos of areas with a latitude greater than 45°N vary annually because of seasonal snowfall. In these areas, summer albedos typically are around 20%, while winter values jump to as high as 70%.

Figures 3 and 4 describe measurements of combined surface and atmosphere albedo for our planet. Comparing these figures to Figures 1 and 2 illustrates the large effect that clouds have on reflecting incoming sunlight back to space. Significant bands of reflective cloud exist over at the equator and in the mid-latitudes. Skies are generally clear of cloud over the major deserts, subtropical oceans, and the large continental glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica.

Climate forcing
The proportion of absorbed, emitted, and reflected incoming solar radiation steers the Earth's climate system causing fluctuations in temperature, winds, ocean currents, and precipitation. The climate system remains in equilibrium as long as the amount of absorbed solar radiation is in balance with the amount of terrestrial radiation emitted back to space. Earth's albedo values are very important in shaping local and global climates through the radiation budget, determined as the difference between the amount of absorbed shortwave radiation (input) and the outgoing longwave radiation (output). For instance, clouds control the amount of energy that may reach the Earth's surface. Since mean cloudiness varies geographically with lowest values observed in the subtropics and highest values in the mid- to high-latitudes, the variation of surface reflectance has a significant impact on the distribution of absorbed solar radiation at the surface. Approximately half of the incident solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. This energy is then used to heat the land and oceans and drive the hydrologic cycle.
Terrestrial factors affecting albedo
A variety of factors affect terrestrial albedo including: (a) soil type; (b) soil moisture or icing; (c) vegetation types; (d) soil and vegetative color; (e) micro-topography and (f) macro-topography.
Soil factors
Soil color certainly affects reflectivity, with lighter colors having greater albedo than dark colors, and hence exhibit higher albedo. Soil texture is also a factor that affects albedo. Some studies have shown that sandy soils have higher albedo, and data clearly demonstrate that albedo is strongly affected by mineral salt content including sodium chloride and magnesium chloride.
Vegetative factors
A variety of factors influence the ability of plants to reflect sunlight. At the most simplistic level, dark coloration provides the greatest absorbtion and hence the lowest albedo. However, leaf shape is quite important, with leaf shapes that are planar providing a higher reflectivity; this effect explains why conifer forests tend to have lower albedo than angiosperm or broadleaf forests. Furthermore, leaf aspect is also contributory, with leaves that have surfaces parallel to the ground surface having the highest albedo.
Topographic factors
Macro-topography implies the recognition of overt slope differences; for example, areas of steep slope can be expected to produce lower effective albedo, simply because the angle of reflection forces incoming radiation to endure a subsequent path that is subject to further absorption by secondary incidence and also due to a longer path length of travel for reflected electromagnetic waves. Micro-topography is the presence of dimpled soils which have small crevices and indentations. In these cases there is a similar reduction in albedo where opportunities for multiple reflections from surface complexities exist.
Measurement of albedo
Surface reflectance has been derived through the use of satellites and remote sensing technology. The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) established as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) has been collecting surface and atmospheric reflectance data since 1983. A traditional technique for estimating the Earth's albedo is observation of the moon's ashgrey light—earthlight reflected from its dark hemisphere.

Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine) in the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Principal Investigator: Falk Lohoff, MD
Contact: Lalita Luthra (coordinator) - 215.746.6419
Brief Study Synopsis
This study will investigate efficacy and safety of Desvenlafaxine in 60 patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) using an 8-week double-blind placebo controlled study design (n=30 drug; n=30 placebo). Desvenlafaxine (DVS) has been recently approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder; however, no data exist on its efficacy in GAD. Given that DVS is the active metabolite of venlafaxine (FDA approved for GAD), we hypothesize that DVS will also be effective in anxiety disorders. Primary outcome measure will be HAM-A reduction at 8 weeks.
Key Inclusion Criteria
- Age > 18 (no upper age limit)
- Patient willingness to be only on Pristiq or Placebo for 8 weeks.
Key Exclusion Criteria
- Treatment with Pristiq (DVS) at any time in the past
- Treatment with venlafaxine or duloxetine at any time in the past
- Treatment resistant GAD
- Comorbid MDD, panic disorder, other major Axis I or II

Woodcreek football takes on pack mentality
By: Bill Poindexter
Three running backs stepping up for Timberwolves
James Nunley accounted for 49 percent of Woodcreek's yardage last season. Since seniors aren't allowed to play a fifth year of high school football, however, he's gone. The Timberwolves have an answer for the 2010 season – three, actually. Blake Cervantes, J.J. Nourth and Michael Blair are giving Woodcreek what coach John Hildebrand described as a "three-pronged attack" in the backfield as the Timberwolves' season opener against Lincoln on Friday approaches. "That's a position I'm most excited about," said Hildebrand, whose team will test itself today in a scrimmage against almighty Folsom. The Timberwolves will try to compensate for the loss of Nunley's 1,570 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns with three seniors, each of whom brings a little something different to the opposition when he has the ball. Cervantes, 6 feet 2 inches and 205 pounds, is "the lead guy," according to Hildebrand. Cervantes had back-to-back 100-yard games to finish last season, and they came against Granite Bay in the regular-season finale and Folsom in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs. That's nothing to sneeze at. Nourth (5'6", 175) was the starting junior varsity tailback two years ago, and Blair (5'9", 175) is back following an elbow injury last season. Hildebrand said Blair is playing fullback for the Timberwolves, "kind of a hybrid that does a little of everything, and he runs it very well." "Even though we lost one of the best in the area, I like the three that are stepping in," Hildebrand said. Handing off the ball will be junior quarterback Shaun Mize, and he can sling it, too. He has senior targets in receivers Derrick Kimball and Devon Murphy and returning starter Brandon Whitebear at tight end, "probably our strongest kid," Hildebrand said. "We pride ourselves on being balanced. I say that every year, but we always had James," Hildebrand said of Nunley, adding that Woodcreek feels comfortable with the progress of Mize. Protecting the skill players will be the biggest offensive line in Hildebrand's four years at the school, including left tackle Jenner Lubinsky (6'4", 265), center Mark Smith (6'0", 208). Defensively, there is another Nunley wearing Woodcreek colors. Brother Geordan Nunley may not carry the ball, but he may intercept it. He's a returning starter in the secondary. Also starting some last season were Ryan Kovach and Dylan Zuverink. Hildebrand also made mention of Stephen Meyer (5'11", 165), "an undersized phenomenal kid who started last year," and defensive end Ben Bevill (6'1", 190). Of course, if a game comes down to a kicker, a precious commodity in the rugged Sierra Foothill League, returning first-team all-leaguer Bobby Reeves booted three 47-yard field goals last season. "The Sierra Foothill League has to be if not the best, one of the best in the state of California," Hildebrand said. "Literally, there are dynasties in the league, dynasties going. Everyone you face is just unbelievably tough. It's a battle every week." Bill Poindexter can be reached at email@example.com.


text: Hello, I've recently been trying to jailbreak my ps3 but I have the 4.30 firmware installed and from what I believe there is no jailbreak for that yet. The only jailbreak I've come across that seems to have worked is for the 3.55 firmware so I want to know if it is possible to downgrade my console to that firmware without any soldering or opening up the console. I have a fairly old ps3 the original firmware was 3.40 and it's model number is CECH-2501B if that helps.

Woooo! I'm excited! Now we can put all that election stuff behind us and remember that the economy is still not in great shape, foreign policy a joke, and military stretched thin...
why did he want this job again :-/? Next couple of years should be interesting, he clearly has a strong mandate to push through his policies.
At least we'll hopefully finally have some form of health care for everyone... man this country is such a joke sometimes...
Congratulations America! Good choice.

No Orleans
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
New Orleans is located in Louisiana. Out of all the cities in America, it is probably the most accurately depicted in the movies. New Orleanians do have Southern drawls. We sound like New Yorkers less than anything else. Of course, the film industry would know that, because it's run by a bunch of Left-Coast pussies who are apparently too wise and big-penised to actually come down here and get their Pradas dirty. Effette bitches.
New Orleans was founded by the Spanish a long time ago. Then the French came along under Napoleon, whupped Spain's ass (without surrendering once), and took the entire Louisiana territory (which, at the time, went all the way up to what is now Canada) in exchange for not completely ruining Spain's shit. If that sounds unbelievable, keep in mind that France was led by a Corsican at the time. After quickly deciding that the Louisiana territory was useless, Napoleon sold the whole damn thing to the United States, who broke the territory up into smaller pieces to keep from being devoured by it. New Orleans was in the Louisiana territory. It's, like, at the bottom.
Life in New Orleans
You know how the rest of the country thinks of places like Tennessee and Kentucky as "The South"? That's "The North" to us. "North" to New Orleanians is "anywhere where it, like, doesn't snow in the yearround."
And we don't have Southern accents. Runaway Jury, The Client, and Double Jeopardy can kiss my ass.
Most of us are French, but we shower regularly and are not assholes. Our women are fat from all the beignets, though, and weigh, on average, the same as a Chevy Tahoe. This is a boon for the local snow-shoe sellers who spend all their time repairing damaged and crushed tennis rackets.
Things for Tourists to do in New Orleans
Suck on my cocks. Seriously. Every Mardi Gras, a bunch of drunk-ass chicks come on down here, drink overpriced booze, and have drunken sex with me - fourteen at a time. Those hos on Girls Gone Wild? Tourists. All of them. Real New Orleanians are too busy getting out-of-towners drunk, dragging one (or more) of them back to our places, and having technically consensual sex with them to waste time flashing tit, with the exception of the men.
Yes, I am aware that I just said that we are not assholes, like, five seconds ago. I was right. You should be so lucky as to fuck one of us.

A Greenville City Councilman disagrees so strongly with pay increases for the mayor and city council members that he says he's declining to accept the pay raise.
Calvin Mercer voted against the budget last Thursday. "Consistent with that vote, I have decided not to accept my salary increase for the present Council," Mercer wrote in an email to constituents. "City Attorney Dave Holec has advised me regarding the methods available for accomplishing that."
Mercer listed three reasons for voting against the budget and the pay increases. The motion to improve the pay was introduced after the public hearings for the budget had passed, allowing for no public feedback. "I believe any increase in elected official salaries, if it happens, should come after airing the issue before the public, most definitely not at the last minute in a budget process," Mercer wrote.
Mercer also says no council should vote for its own pay raises, but only for increases for when the next city council is seated.
Finally, Mercer says, "these are austere times and not the time to do this."
Mercer was the only city council member to vote against the budget.

Well Sasuke would have tried to kill Kabuto instead of capturing him so he would have been on the offensive more.
I think Kabuto would have won that. But it depends on any EMS abilities Sasuke has gotten that he hasn't used yet because he hasn't been in a to the death fight yet.
So Kabuto wins as far as I can tell, but new/unknown Sasuke EMS skills will mess him up pretty bad or maybe even turn the tables on it.

Turns out, lots of elderly residents in Connecticut have recently been targeted by the "grandparent scam."
Some caught on before it was too late. But others, like the grandma I wrote about, weren't so lucky.
In fact, a day before the column ran, Newington police issued a cautionary press release about a town similarly victimized resident.
The story scammers used on that grandma was a little different. (Her grandson, the caller claimed, was in a car accident in the Dominican Republic and he wasn't allowed to leave the island until he had paid for the damage.) But it ended the same way -- with a trusting grandmother out more than $4,000.
Here are some tips on how to avoid falling prey to scammers from Attorney General George Jepsen's office:
•Verify the caller's identity by asking personal questions a stranger couldn't answer.
•Resist the pressure to act immediately. Take your time and use a phone number you know to be genuine to verify the caller's identity. If you don't have the relative's phone number, get in touch with the person's parent, spouse, or another close family member to check out the story -- even if you've been told to keep the call a secret. If you can't reach a family member to verify the caller's identity, call your local police department.
•And whatever you do, don't wire money or send a check or money order by overnight courier to people you aren't sure you know, no matter how dramatic the story. Con artists recommend these services so they can get your money before you realize you've been cheated.
As the East Hampton grandmother said, realizing you've been scammed can be embarrassing. But don't be ashamed to call police and to report possible fraud to the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357), the Department of Consumer Protection at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 800-842-2649 or the Office of the Attorney General at email@example.com or (860) 808-5420.

Return to previous indent
this wiki
created May 17, 2008 · complexity basic · author Arnar · version 7.0
It bothered me a bit that Ctrl-D in insert mode would just hop on multiples of shiftwidth when editing files with complex (and creative) indentation such as Haskell source files. I replaced <Ctrl-D> with the following Python function that scans the lines above the current one, finds the closest line that has strictly smaller indent and dedents the current one to that level.
" Handy function to search previous lines for indent levels and " use those instead of multiples of shiftwidth. function! DedentToPrevious() python << EOF import vim tabsize = int(vim.eval("&ts")) l = vim.current.line rest = l.lstrip() indent = l[:-len(rest)] if indent != "": cur_size = len(indent.replace("\t", " "*tabsize)) idx = vim.current.window.cursor[0]-2 while idx >= 0: ll = vim.current.buffer[idx] indent = ll[:-len(ll.lstrip())] if len(indent.replace("\t", " "*tabsize)) < cur_size: vim.current.line = indent+rest break idx -= 1 EOF endfunction " replace the <C-D> in insert mode with the above function imap <C-d> <C-o>:call DedentToPrevious()<CR> " To get more sane behaviour with auto-indent, use this instead: " imap <C-d> <Left><Right><C-o>:call DedentToPrevious()<CR>
Tips for improvementIf you are feeling adventurous, you could make a modified version that takes over the backspace key. I'd recommend using
vim.current.window.cursorto detect if the cursor is right between the indent whitespace and line contents (if any) and only use the above behavior in that case. All other cursor positions would need to have the normal backspace behavior.
- The introduction to the tip is a little mysterious. A brief example of the problem would be helpful.
- The comments below are from the author. They explain the need for the "To get more sane behaviour" comment for the alternative mapping in the tip. However, a quick test with Vim 7.2 and 7.0.40 on junk.py and junk.c failed to reproduce the issue.
- Possibilities: Something clever that I've forgotten about on my system avoids the problem, or, the problem does not exist on newish versions?
- The tip includes the suggestion in the comment near the bottom that starts "I believe that the indent is also kept if you move the cursor about in the line".
- Therefore, I think all the following (and this "todo") can be deleted. Any opinions? --JohnBeckett 00:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
When editing files in some kind of auto-indent (set ai, set cin etc.), vim behaves like this to the user:
- End a line by pressing Enter
- Vim will determine the indent of the next line, either by using the previous line's indent or by calling a language specific indent script.
- In the new line, the cursor appears to be at the correct indent preceded by whitespace.
In reality, the new line in the buffer is actually empty (there is no spoon.. sorry, whitespace). Thus, when a script asks for the line contents, it simply receives the empty string "" and not a string containing the indent whitespace. In the script above, this produces the following behaviour.
Say the user is editing a Python file, and the cursor is placed where the marker | is (not actually a part of the buffer):
def some function: if condition: do_something()|
Now the user presses Enter and sees this:
def some function: if condition: do_something() |
The user wants to reduce the indent by one fold, so instead of pressing backspace four times, she presses C-D. The script above kicks in and tries to determine the current line's indent. The user expects it to find eight spaces, triggering the search of above lines finding that the "one-less" indent is four spaces -- but what really happens is that the current line indent is computed as zero and the script sets that as the current indent, giving the user this:
def some function: if condition: do_something() |
instead of the expected:
def some function: if condition: do_something() |
Now, there is an ugly hack to solve this. After creating a new line, if the user types some character, say a space, and then deletes it immediately with backspace, the "fake" indent is turned into actual indent and C-D behaves as expected. The key-sequence for the above script can be modified to simply do this before each invocation of the script, i.e. the imap can be changed to:
imap <C-d> <Space><BS><C-o>:call DedentToPrevious()<CR>
Perhaps this is an acceptable solution?
- I believe that the indent is also kept if you move the cursor about in the line; you don't actually need to type any text. I think this will work, but haven't tested it:
imap <C-d> <Left><Right><C-o>:call DedentToPrevious(<CR>
- Yes, I tested it and just moving the cursor works fine. It is a little less ugly than inserting and removing text. Arnar 15:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The Ex-Prisoners Rehabilitation Society of Tanzania has called on the government to amend or repeal outdated laws and regulations governing the prisons department because many of them violate international human rights.
The society said the government, human rights organisations and other stakeholders should use the constitutional review process to repeal stringent laws that impinged on human rights in prisons.
The call was made yesterday by the society's secretary general, Dr Alfred Kaaya, at a press conference in Dar es Salaam.
Dr Kaaya said many laws governing the prisons department violated human rights because they were adopted from the colonial period and since then they had never been reviewed.
He said despite attaining independence in 1961, the laws used in prisons remained unchanged and hardly did they comply with international human rights instruments Tanzania had ratified.
"The nature of the laws governing the prisons department today is to punish prisoners instead of reforming and training to acquire social skills and be good citizens," he said.
He noted that, when the father, who is in many families the family's bread-winner, got imprisoned and it happened that his wife is a house wife, there were no alternative means of income for the family, something, which deprived it of its meaningful future.
"When the father is imprisoned, for sure, school children will stop, and this, may attract the children to engage in crimes to make ends meet although it is not their intention," he said.
However, he urged members of the public to change their negative perception towards ex-prisoners saying most of them experienced rejection and discrimination, which should be stopped.
In another development, the society has congratulated Dr Reginald Mengi for his moral and material support that has enabled the society to launch a carpentry workshop and sawmills in Moshi and Arusha respectively.
Dr Kaaya said Dr Mengi's financial support had been of great support because it did not only expand the society's number of projects but it also helped them to create jobs to ex-prisoners who, without such support would have been jobless.
As the society gears up for opening new zonal and regional branches in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and Mwanza, Dr Kaaya urged other stakeholders to emulate Dr Mengi's support saying continued financial support would help expand the project and reach a wider community in other parts of the country.
The Ex-prisoners Rehabilitation Society of Tanzania, which works under the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT), Northern Diocese in Moshi, was established in June 2009 and it has a total of 184 members countrywide.

An attorney representing opponents of a planned Crestwood subdivision on says he plans to file multiple lawsuits in a last-minute effort to thwart construction of the 345-home development.
Shortly after Oldham planning and zoning commission on Tuesday ratified an agreement it made in 2008 for the construction of Brentwood subdivision — a planned community situated between Briar Hill and Spring Hill subdivisions – attorney Michael Tigue said he would file as many as three motions to appeal the board's decision.

Video: Men With Hammers Smash Cases At Zales At Pentagon City Mall
ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Arlington County Police are asking the public for help in finding four suspects that robbed the Zales store inside the Pentagon City Mall on Monday.
The store's surveillance footage captured four people walking into the jewelry store around 11 a.m. One suspect then pulled out a hammer and struck a reinforced glass jewelry case twenty times before it finally cracked open. The suspects then grabbed the jewelry and ran out.
"This is very bold behavior" said Dustin Sternbeck, a spokesman for Arlington County Police. "It was a crowded mall in broad daylight! This is something we haven't seen in Arlington for a while."
Fortunately, no one was hurt. Police say the suspects told the store's two employees to get out when they ran in. They are believed to have fled the scene in a red sedan after driving through the parking garage's mechanical gates.
The thieves got away with 27 rings worth around $128,000. Arlington County Police are wondering if thieves are trying to capitalize on Valentine's Day, which is just nine days away.
"They could be trying to peddle these rings for a profit," said Sternbeck. "Right now, we do not have any leads. We're asking for the public's assistance in identifying the individuals that we show in the surveillance video."
If you saw anything suspicious, contact Arlington County Police at (703)558-2222.

Why It Is Used
Doctors use antibiotics to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria. There are many types of antibiotics. Your doctor will decide which antibiotic will work best for you.
Doctors do not use tetracyclines for children younger than age 8. These medicines can discolor a child's teeth.
Doctors use vancomycin to treat people who are in the hospital for severe infections that do not respond to other antibiotics.
How Well It Works
In general, all antibiotics used have a high cure rate for pneumonia caused by bacteria. Cure rates are greater than 80%, meaning at least 80 people out of 100 are cured.1
Vancomycin works against some types of bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics.
You most likely will have some improvement in symptoms 2 to 3 days after treatment begins. Unless you get worse during that time, treatment is not changed for at least 3 days. The number of days you keep taking antibiotics depends on your illness and the type of antibiotic.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Sudden pain or swelling around your ankle, shoulder, elbow, or hand. Some antibiotics increase the risk of a tendon rupture or other tendon damage. Do not exercise until your doctor says it is okay.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- A metallic taste in the mouth.
- Dizziness.
Some fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines may make it easier to get a sunburn when you are taking them. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning salons while you are taking these medicines and for 5 days after you have stopped taking them.
- Most sunscreens do not block enough of the UV rays to prevent sunburn.
- If you cannot avoid direct sunlight, cover as much of your body as you can with clothing.
A large study showed that people who take erythromycin along with certain common medicines have an increased risk of sudden cardiac death.2 The study showed that the risk of sudden cardiac death is greater when erythromycin is taken with some medicines that inhibit certain liver enzymes—such as some calcium channel blockers, some antifungal medicines, medicines to stop vomiting, and some antidepressants—than when erythromycin is taken by itself.
Vancomycin can cause hearing loss. This is rare. But it has occurred in people who received excessive doses or who have kidney disease. Hearing loss also has occurred in people who were taking another medicine that may cause hearing loss or who already had some hearing loss.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Antibiotics cannot always kill bacteria (antibiotic resistance), in part because they are used too much or are used incorrectly. You can help prevent antibiotic resistance by taking all of your medicine as directed, even if you feel better after a few days. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, bacteria that are not killed in the first few days of treatment can grow stronger and become resistant to the antibiotic.
Doctors are careful about the use of vancomycin, because it is the only antibiotic that can kill some types of bacteria. Using vancomycin too often can lead to antibiotic resistance in these bacteria.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Romdeau wrote:Not the first mystere, the mystere file in general Gon. And to be honest, the game can change at will in a lot of cases. I'm not saying that we will change them, but I've always had a problem with uber-return control files that leave little room for counterplay.
Circumstances and my new position allow me to wield a bit more influence over these types of strategies and how they play out.
This is exactly the sort of attitude that's killing the game--that a player no better than anyone else just decides "welp, *I* don't like something, and I have a bunch of scrub support, so herp derp, away it goes!".
Diondora got her nerf (from 40 to 30 HP). She has a smaller stat total than anything but a salamander or a willowisp, and she's level 3. Her engage skill is all but useless in light of her return skill. So she sits there and returns stuff. Mystere can defend herself, but at the same time, she either depends on constant great spirit open or renders Emana completely neutered as a damage dealer.
As for the counterplay mechanics, they exist. It's called SP denial, sacrificing units, and unit open skill kills--all of which Refess thankfully doesn't have yet. Gowen rush has been able to deal with Emana control because it can just deny her the SP by picking off sage. Lawtia gets a free shade on turn 1 and if they pack sala, they can also drop the sage the first time around, as well as deny critical SP with other shades.
In fact, I think the only strategies that don't have counterplay against uber-return files are those that aim to set up an uber field combo and power through everything on the strength of their units. And if unprotected combo strategies ever work, that's when you know you have no counterplay.
