TA Cloning® Kits
TA Cloning® technology greatly simplifies traditional restriction and ligation cloning with a one-step cloning strategy that eliminates the need for any enzymatic modifications of the PCR product and not require the use of primers that contain restriction enzyme sites.
TA cloning® kits rely on the complementary bases of adenine (A) and thymine (T) on different DNA fragments to hybridize together. PCR products are amplified using a Taq DNA polymerase which adds a single deoxyadenosine to the 3' end of the product. The linearized vectors supplied in TA cloning® kits have a complimentary 3´ deoxythymidine (T) residues allowing the insert to ligate into the vector efficiently.
Speed with Flexibility
|With the addition of the ExpressLink™ T4 DNA Ligase into TA Cloning® Kits, ligation can now be performed at room temperature in only 15 minutes with reactions typically yielding >80% recombinants containing inserts.
TA Cloning® kits are available with a choice of pCR® 2.1 and pCR® II vectors. The T7 and Sp6 promoters of the pCR™ II vector allow in vitro transcription of the insert to produce sense or anti-sense products.
Performance and Value
TA Cloning® kits are available without competent cells (K2020-20 and K2020-40) or with One Shot® INVαF' Chemically Competent E. coli (K2000-01 and K2000-40), and One Shot® TOP10F' Chemically Competent E. coli (K2040-01 and K2040-40) in both 20 and 40-reaction pack sizes.
For TA Cloning® with the pCR® II Vector (dual promoter) kits are available without competent cells (K2750-20 and K2750-40), with One Shot® INVαF' Chemically Competent E. coli (K2050-01 and K2050-40), and One Shot® TOP10F' Chemically Competent E. coli (K2060-01 and K2060-40) in both 20 and 40-reaction pack sizes.
TA Cloning® Kits outperform 'Competitor P' in performance and value.

Using a proofreading enzyme?
Thermostable polymerases containing extensive 3´ to 5´ exonuclease activity, such as Platinum® Pfx, do not leave 3´ A-overhangs. PCR products generated with Taq polymerase have a high efficiency of cloning in the TA Cloning® system because the 3´ A-overhangs are not removed. However, if you use a proofreading polymerase or wish to clone blunt-ended fragments, you can add 3´ A-overhangs by incubating with Taq at the end of your cycling program.
Alternatively, you may want to try the Zero Blunt® PCR Cloning Kit. This kit offers efficient cloning of blunt-end PCR products generated using thermostable, proofreading polymerases.

Quade Cooper says he would have refused to face the Springboks had his concerns not been considered
- From: FOX SPORTS
- September 27, 2012
Injured Wallabies playmaker Quade Cooper has clarified his position on Australian rugby, saying the lack of a national training facility and restrictions on his attacking style are his major frustrations.
Cooper has been the talk of Australian rugby this week after he took to Twitter to reveal his frustrations with the Australian Rugby Union and Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.
Watch the extremely revealing interview with Quade Cooper, in full, in the two videos here.
Speaking on Fox Sports' The Rugby Club, Cooper revealed he wouldn't have played against the Springboks this weekend had he been fit and had he been instructed to run a "defensive" gameplan.
"Well no because, like I said, the environment there is one I don't feel comfortable with," Cooper said when asked about whether he would have played in Pretoria.
"And if I don't feel comfortable and I don't feel I can give 100 per cent for my country and for that yellow jersey then that's a very big problem."
Cooper also revealed that part of his "toxic environment" tweet was aimed to bring to light the lack of a national training facility, something he says is prohibiting the Wallabies from reaching their full potential.
The Wallabies move between cities depending on where their Tests are situated and haven't had a permanent training base since their days at Coffs Harbour and Caloundra.
"For a national team you'd expect to have the best possible facilities," Cooper said.
"Earlier this year we had a three-week camp where we didn't really have the facilities for injury prevention and injury management and to get the best out of us as a playing group."
The Australian Rugby Union sent Cooper a please explain regarding his Twitter comments but the Queensland Reds star is unlikely to back down from his gripes about the state of the game in Australia.
He said he had every intention of fulfilling his three-year contract with Queensland Reds and that a dispute over money wasn't behind his recent outbursts.
Cooper's Criticism
"Money has nothing to do with it," Cooper said.
"If money had anything to do with it I definitely wouldn't be speaking out.
"I've got a contract with the Reds that I'm happy with and I signed that a long time ago."

OAKLAND -- Stephen Curry hadn't enjoyed looking at stat sheets lately because despite impressive numbers on offense for the Warriors, too often they came during losses.
That trend went on at least a one-game hiatus as the Warriors cruised to a 103-88 win against the Portland Trail Blazers at Oracle Arena on Sunday.
Curry scored 38 points while the Warriors held the NBA's highest-scoring offense to its season low in points. Afterward, he likened coach Mark Jackson to a disc jockey for "remixing" defensive schemes after the Warriors had surrendered 121 points to Minnesota in a loss at home two days earlier.
The Warriors, having lost five of seven games entering the contest, were motivated to shut down an opposing offense, and it came against a Portland team currently in third place in the Western Conference. Playing on a second straight night, the Trail Blazers shot a season-low 33.7 percent from the field and committed 14 turnovers.
"Just what the doctor ordered," Jackson said.
The third quarter featured the Warriors holding the Trail Blazers to 12 points, matching Golden State's best defensive quarter of the season.
With the Trail Blazers struggling, the Warriors grabbed the lead by going on a 16-2 run. Curry put the Warriors ahead 62-59 with a 3-pointer, and his layup off a steal and assist from Andre Iguodala later gave the Warriors a 76-66 lead and himself 32 points after three quarters.
LaMarcus Aldridge entered the game leading the Trail Blazers averaging 24.6 points per game, and he finished with 10 on 2-for-14 shooting while going up against David Lee, Andrew Bogut and substitute Draymond Green.
After Aldridge committed an offensive foul while Bogut defended him, the two were whistled for a double technical foul. Aldridge, in frustration, had tossed the ball at Bogut.
"I just missed shots," Aldridge said, citing his struggles with the Warriors' guards helping on defense.
Lee had 17 points and a game-high 12 rebounds while continuing to play through a shoulder sprain, and it was his defense against Aldridge that especially drew praise from Jackson and Curry.
"That's why he is definitely All-Star worthy, going against one of the top power forwards in the league," Curry said. "I think D Lee is right there with him."
Klay Thompson scored 17 points, and Iguodala added 12 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for his second double-double of the season.
Wesley Matthews led the Trail Blazers with 21 points (5 for 14 from the field) while backcourt mate Damian Lillard, the Oakland native, added 16 (5 for 16).
Curry was 13 for 23 from the field, adding eight assists and seven rebounds. He hit a deep 3-pointer with 3.4 seconds left in the second quarter, giving him a 23-point half on 9-for-12 shooting and sending the Warriors into the locker room trailing 55-54.
Portland scored 33 second-quarter points, but then only managed 33 in the entire second half.
The Warriors led 28-22 after the first quarter, putting together the kind of stingy performance on defense to start the game that had been lost on the team for most of this month.
"What I like is that we paid attention to detail and didn't have any game plan breakdowns," Jackson said. "We battled, we competed, and we made multiple effort plays, and we continued that all night long."
After surrendering 36 first-quarter points in a 121-120 loss to Minnesota, the Warriors held a film session the next day that Thompson had described as a much-needed "grill session."
"Coach told us we were all getting traded if we didn't play good tonight, so our backs were against the wall," Iguodala said jokingly.
"If we execute on that end, the outcome's in our favor."

"Chris's unique blend of experience in retail, theme parks, sports and legal helped set him apart during this extensive search," said NYRA Board member and Chair of the Nominations and Governance Committee Michael Del Giudice. "We look forward to working with him as NYRA moves forward in the months and years ahead."
"I am confident that we have found the right person to lead NYRA forward," said Board Member Stuart S. Janney III, who was also a member of the search committee for the vacant CEO position. "Throughout his career, Chris has demonstrated the type of leadership and strategic vision so crucial to NYRA's future success."
"Chris has a thorough understanding of the need to develop and drive brand strategies in a competitive and ever-changing environment," said Board member Jane Rosenthal, who was also a member of the CEO search committee. "He supported and enhanced the Toys 'R' Us brand in every country in which it did business and sought to introduce the Universal Studios theme park brand to new countries as its Managing Director."
"Though he has had no direct involvement with thoroughbred racing, Chris is familiar with the sport and will make great use of the outstanding team in place that has successfully guided NYRA through the past month and a half—a period that included the 145thBelmont Stakes," said Board and search committee member Bobby Flay. "Chris's arrival will bring new ideas and synergies to our organization that will benefit NYRA, horsemen and fans, alike."
"We were fortunate to choose from an abundance of fine candidates, but Chris's business and leadership skills stamped him as our first preference," said Board and search committee member Earle Mack. "I know the Board and others will enjoy working with Chris once he takes over."
"I'm honored by the confidence expressed in me today by the NYRA Board," said Kay. "Thoroughbred racing is an important part of the lives of so many—including the hundreds of thousands of fans who have loyally supported us through the years. I will work hard to earn their trust and respect as we embark upon an extremely important chapter of NYRA's history. Working with the talented professionals at NYRA and its dedicated and experienced Board, I anticipate an exciting and successful future for our sport."
The NYRA Board retained the services of the executive search firm RSR Partners to assist in the filling of the President and CEO position.
Post-Board Meeting Quotes from New NYRA President and CEO Chris Kay and Board Chair David Skorton
Q: What made this job attractive to you?
Chris Kay:"There were a number of factors. Number one was the fact we have some of the finest racetracks in America under NYRA. Number two, as you heard today, a tremendous Board. Number three, the locations are fantastic. Saratoga is beautiful and New York City is the best city in the world. And, number four, strong, passionate fans. So when you say 'what do you need going forward?' those are the four fundamental, foundational blocks for great success, so that was very attractive to me."
Q: Can you talk about your background and/or experience in racing as a fan or otherwise?
Chris Kay:"I first went to a racetrack [Cahokia Downs, Alorton, IL] when I was 19 years old and fell in love with it, and went there every summer, frequently. I loved the experience. Later in life, as an attorney, I was part of a firm that represented people that owned stables in South Carolina and in Kentucky. And, in fact, I also developed a relationship with a friend of mine who owned a couple of horses, actually several very good ones – Don Dizney – who was suggesting I become the minority owner in some of those horses, like Wekiva Springs. I instead chose to go the baseball route, hoping we would land a major league team [in Orlando, Fl.] with a minor league team. But I have enjoyed the racing experience for decades."
Q: Regarding Kay's experience with land preservation and the future of Aqueduct Racetrack.
Chris Kay:"The organization [I worked for most recently] was the Trust for Public Lto and. It is a fantastic organization [that has] been able to acquire over three million acres of land converted into local, state, or federal parks. As far as the issue of Aqueduct is concerned, David [Skorton] and the committee say it's one of the things we should look at."
Q: Were there any apprehensions about taking the job?
Chris Kay:"No. Number one, it's a challenge, and the opportunity to do better, and those are two very important things. I kid you not…this is a world-class Board, and the opportunity to work with them to create new solutions was very attractive. I want to learn from mistakes of the past, but there is so much talent around that table that we can create a future for decades to come for success in horse racing in this state, and that was a very compelling reason for me to express interest in the job."
Q: Any top priorities?
Chris Kay:"Well, I haven't even started yet, but I think number one, the Board has provided us with a three-year strategic plan, so I'm going to follow that strategic plan, and execute it. And, to summarize that, number one is going to be to enhance the guest experience for our racing fans and to recruit others to become new racing fans. The second is the re-privatization; to work with the kind of people we have at the table and with state government, and the third is just to improve the quality of racing and purses at every racetrack we operate."
Q: Regarding the future of casino gaming in NYS.
Chris Kay: "I'm aware of the conversations [in Albany]. I do not have a position to express today. I am comforted by the fact that Governor Cuomo has selected a great Board and has expressed an interest in making sure that horse racing is very successful today and for years to come. I look forward to working with this Board and with state government to make sure that happens."
Q: On hiring on an individual with a strong racing background to complement Kay's leadership and management experience.
Chris Kay: "We are going to look at that. Clearly there are some very talented people in racing [and] to bring in someone like you describe I think could be very beneficial. "
NYRA Board Chair David J. Skorton on the selection of Chris Kay:
Chair David J. Skorton:"We looked at three big categories of candidates. Some were people who were extraordinarily experienced directly in thoroughbred racing. Some were turnaround specialists. Third were people who were very, very talented leaders and managers. At the end of the day, the search committee, number one, unanimously, thought it was very important to have someone with leadership and management experience. I'd like to say that a lot of problems NYRA has experienced in the past have not been because of lack of racing savvy, but because of lack of government savvy. That's my point of view.
"Chris was a dream candidate for us because he cared about racing. He loves it. He's been doing it since he was a young person and wants it to succeed, but basically he is a very strong manager and leader from different types of organizations – for profit, not-for-profit, [he's worked in] organizations that had to deal in the governmental sector. We wanted someone who is experienced in making that connection, in the public-private partnership as opposed to the public-private war, and I think we're going to go in the right direction.
"I've mentioned before the two huge, mega jobs of the new Board: One was to get new leadership and management, and I emphasize both leadership and management. And then secondly, to look toward re-privatization, however long that takes. That's going to take some long-term vision."
Q: Asked about the CEO salary and how bonuses will be determined.
Chair David J. Skorton: "We have a balanced score card that we've developed. If you're not familiar with that term, it's a way to assess performance based on some quantitative metrics, like finances and things like that, there's also qualitative metrics. I want to be very public about this: this is not a guaranteed extra $250,000. We made that very clear to Chris during the recruitment process. This is going to be performance-based and I'm a hard grader.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing postpartum joint pain. My daughter is 7 months now and I am still struggling with chronic joint pain. I would love to speak with anyone who is experiencing similar pain.
Postpartum Joint Pain
someone who found this forum recently wrote to me to thank me for my comments here... so, although it's been a while since i visited, i came back to discover that twice as many women have come here to seek help and/or discuss this issue since the last time i posted.
the person who commented right after my most recent comment asked if the women who have told their stories here could post any updates on how they are after time had passed. so that is what i am doing.
i am thirteen mo. pp, and i can happily say that i have not had the joint pain i had between 2 and 8 mo. pp... it has been completely gone for several months, and started to subside gradually at around 6 mo. when my hair started to grow back in after losing it in droves.
it DOES get better. i promise! please don't worry if you have come here anxious and worried. i know what it feels like... i was there. i thought i would never be the same again when i was in the thick of that severe joint pain. but it does go away. it did. give your body time for the hormone levels to regulate after a pregnancy... especially if you are an older mom... 35 and up.
do what you can. keep asking questions. keep seeking relief. get tests your docs suggest if you feel you need to. but don't worry, and try to wait it out. the joint problem will not last. i'm almost 41 and after having my first baby a little over a year ago, i am back to my old self.
all the best to any who are experiencing that debilitating pain. it's difficult to explain to anyone who does not know what it feels like. but you are not alone. and i am confident that there is a very likely chance that there is nothing wrong {if you read many of the testimonies in this forum, you will see most tests for disorders and problems like r.a. and other autoimmune problems or thyroid disorders come back negative} and that it will subside.
as in my case, it takes a while to subside. but DON'T LOSE HEART!... it's very likely that it will subside for you, too!!
hang in there!!
jorjah-b... new mommy to her first baby, isaac
I'm so glad I came across this thread. I have a lot of the same symptoms with achey knees, feet, back and especially hands - I feel like I have disclocated thumbs every morning and have to click them back into place! I had started exercising recently and put it down to that plus pushing buggy, lifting baby, etc but the pain just didnt seem proportionate to those activities, hence coming online to find some answers. Well it's a shame to read that no cause has yet been found despite all the extensive testing everyone has been through. I wonder why no medical professional has properly conducted any testing and documentation of the issue - it doesnt even seem to have a name!
Thanks marinazar for the summary of potential cures! very useful.
I've just been reading another thread on a different website and a lot of ladies on that one were told that the joint pain was due to the hormone relaxin still being in the blood whilst they were still breastfeeding. (Some health professionals had said if you still have the linea negra this indicated you still had relaxin in the blood). Aside from muscle and joint strengthening through yoga, massage, physio therapy, they also recommended glucosomine. www.urbanmamas.com/urbanmamas/2007/...
jorjah - I think it was me who contacted you (?)
daljit2 - YES, relaxin - this is what my OB said he thought it was. And yes, amazing there aren't more studies into what this is! Thanks for the website.
I have experienced a slight relapse due to working out pretty hard. :( Frustrating.
Update: I am ending Prednisone from a tapered down dosage (20mg) started on 7/20. While on Prednisone I feel 95% joint pain free. The real test will be after the two weeks that the Prednisone leaves my system. If the joint pain returns I won't be able to get back on Prednisone. My doctor has warned me of all the side effects and will not put me back on it. So its been a very nice month with nearly no joint pain. My LO will be 9 months on Monday so I am hoping this is the end of it. *Fingers crossed, but not too tightly :)
Also, met with my Endocrinologist who stated that my thyroid is right back where it was pre-PG: Borderline Hyper / No medication necessary. I never thought the joint pain was related and she doesn't either but it was one of those things that needed to be checked.
I will report back at the end of the two weeks of no Prednisone.
My daughter is ia almost 2 and I still have the incredible tightness and stiffness in my shoulders and neck, along with clunky knees. I thought it was mostly from a minor car accident I was in when she was 4 months old.
My period is still not quite back to normal. Has anyone else had this issue? Also has anyone else had low iron, magnesium, or estrogyn?
I am so glad to have found this thread. I thought that I was losing my mind, particularly since I didnt have this with my son. I am 7 weeks pp, am not carrying extra pregnancy weight, as I weigh less than prior to getting pregnant, but started with pain in my left wrist about two weeks ago....so bad that i couldn't push myself off the floor at times. I thought that I strained something picking up my 2 1/2 y.o. The joint pain comes and goes (with regards to intensity) in my wrist, but it is now in my hip and elbow, along with tightness in my fingers. I feel like a 90 y.o. woman. I can certainly say that I have not had a good night sleep since giving birth, I eat well at dinner, but my meals/snacks the rest of the day are lack luster due to having a daughter with severe reflux and am busy taking care of my family (as most of us are). I just started back at the gym trying to stay active and didn't know if my body was having trouble handling it. The endless possibilities of medical problems truly scares me. I have a call into my OB and an appointment with my Genr'l Practitioner in Sept.
Sending everyone good vibes in hopes that we are all feeling better soon!

Graduation begins promptly at 9:45 AM on Saturday May 7th, 2016 at the Savannah Civic Center in the Martin Luther King Arena. Plan to arrive very early (around 8:30 AM) so you can park nearby and be comfortably seated before the huge crowd arrives. Once the ceremony starts, graduates and faculty are marching into the arena and latecomers have long delays and limited assistance in gaining entrance and being seated.There is an alternate entrance on the east side of the Civic Center right off the parking lot that allows you to directly enter and exit the arena floor, near disability seating. We strongly urge you to use this door so you can shorten your route and avoid having to go up the long ramps, into the crowded lobby and then have to use the wheelchair lift to take you from the lobby down to the arena floor. Look for the small open door near the sidewalk. We will place a large blue disability sign next to this door and be there to assist you.
You will be seated behind the faculty on the left and right sides of the arena floor. Chairs can easily be moved around to accommodate any equipment you have. The graduates are seated in the middle of the arena floor. The ceremony usually lasts two hours. Accessible bathrooms are in the halls surrounding the arena floor.
Because our disability seating space on the arena floor is very limited, we respectfully request that only one person accompany each person with a disability in this section. This assures that there is space for everyone who must have it. We must leave ample aisle space for the grads and faculty to process in and out.
We suggest you pre-arrange a place to meet with your graduate after graduation is over. The lobby is extremely crowded after the ceremony. Many guests just plan to stay seated and have their graduate return to them. You can follow the blue signs back to the alternate exit.
If you have any questions prior to graduation, please call Kelly Woodruff, Director of Disability Services, at (912) 344-2744. We welcome you and hope you enjoy this wonderful day in your graduate's life!

SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court on Wednesday tussled with the legality of California's unprecedented ban on gay conversion therapy for minors, suggesting it could be upheld despite concerns for the free speech rights of counselors who support the practice.
During nearly two hours of arguments, a three-judge 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel grilled lawyers on both sides of the issue, wondering whether the First Amendment applies to psychotherapy aimed at converting gay teens to being straight. California in January became the first state in the nation to outlaw the therapy, concluding it serves no purpose and is harmful to minors.
Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, while clearly concerned about trampling on free speech rights, at one point told a lawyer for parents challenging the law that it seems the Legislature has the leeway to regulate licensed mental health professionals through such a ban.
"It's really a fine line," he said. "Why can't the Legislature say, 'Look, if you want to be a licensed professional, this is the type of therapy you can't (do)?' "
In two separate cases, a group of therapists and families sued to block the law, arguing it interferes with religious practices and violates therapists' free speech rights by barring gay conversion discussions between young patients and their counselors. Two Sacramento federal judges have split on the question, one upholding the law and the other finding it violates the First Amendment.
The case is being closely watched as other states, New Jersey and Massachusetts among them, consider similar laws.
The key question is whether counseling minors to change their sexual preference is medical treatment that can be regulated by the state, or speech that deserves broad First Amendment protections. Ninth Circuit Judge Morgan Christen, an appointee of President Barack Obama, called the issue "pivotal."
Mathew Staver, head of Liberty Counsel, a group challenging the law, called the California ban "breathtakingly broad," insisting there is conflicting evidence on whether it is justified and that it is preventing teens who choose the therapy from getting professional help. Therapists who violate the law risk losing their licenses.
But the judges expressed doubts about whether such "talk therapy" is covered by First Amendment protections. Judge Susan Graber asked whether in fact it's speech or medical treatment. And Christen at another point appeared taken aback when another attorney for the therapists could not offer specific evidence that such therapy succeeds in changing gay minors' sexual orientation.
The judges, however, also pressed Alexandra Gordon, deputy attorney general, on whether the evidence the Legislature relied upon to enact the ban was too anecdotal to risk eroding free speech protections, citing past court decisions that could be problematic for the state. That includes a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down California's ban on the sale of violent video games to minors because it violated the First Amendment.
Kozinski, in fact, noted that psychotherapy generally involves "speaking opinion," and he expressed concern about the lack of scientific proof of conversion therapy's harm to minors. "The evidence before the Legislature is weak," Kozinski told Gordon.
The state's lawyer disagreed, saying every major medical and mental health organization now disapproves of the therapy for minors. Defenders of the ban say the state has a right to regulate licensed professionals and practices considered harmful to minors.
"We're shutting it down because of the harm of that practice," Gordon said. "It falls below the standard of care."

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Cyclosporine for Rheumatoid Arthritis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune
Cyclosporine is given orally (by mouth) or as a shot (injection).
How It Works
Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive medicine, which means that it decreases the action of your body's immune system. By interrupting the immune process, cyclosporine reduces inflammation and slows damage to your joints. Cyclosporine is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), which means that it slows the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. DMARDs are also called slow-acting antirheumatic drugs (SAARDs).
Why It Is Used
Cyclosporine is sometimes used for severe rheumatoid arthritis that has not responded to most other DMARD treatment.
How Well It Works
Cyclosporine can be effective for severe rheumatoid arthritis for short periods of time. Its use is limited because of its toxicity and because it may interact with other medicines you are taking.1
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.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Blood in your urine.
Call your doctor if you have:
Cyclosporine may also cause side effects that your doctor will test for, including:
- High blood pressure.
- Kidney problems.
- Liver problems.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Headache.
- Increased hair growth.
- Shaking hands (tremor).
- Sores in the mouth or bleeding, painful, or swollen gums.
- Tingling in your feet or hands.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
When you are taking cyclosporine (and even after you are finished taking it), make sure you talk to your doctor before you get any vaccinations. Some vaccines can actually cause the disease they are trying to prevent in people who are taking cyclosporine.
Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice when you are taking this medicine.
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
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
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.

The Essentials 2.0 – Killer Joe
By John Smith
William Friedkin has become one of the most influential and important film makers in the business with a career that spans over 40 years. Some of his best known works are The French Connection from 1971, The Exorcist from 1973, and his extremely controversial Cruising from 1980. In 2011, and well into his seventies, William Friedkin along with playwright Tracy Letts created a devastatingly brutal film that succeeds in terms of writing and directing. It may not be any textbooks yet, but in this writer's opinion, it is one of the better movies of the last decade.

Ashby, and his navigator, Capt. Joseph Schweitzer, were put on trial in the United States and were found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide. Later they were found guilty of obstruction of justice and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman for having destroyed a videotape recorded from the plane and were dismissed from the Marine Corps. The disaster, and the subsequent acquittal of the pilots, strained relations between the United States and Italy.

Because his fellow officers failed to follow him into the suspect's apartment and because they did not come to his aid after he'd been shot, many believe Serpico had actually been brought to the apartment by his colleagues to be murdered. Serpico, seen here in 2002, became famous after his story was told in the 1973 movie "Serpico," in which he was played by Al Pacino.
1970: Actor Warwick Davis is born in Epsom, Surrey, England. He is best known for playing the title characters in "Willow" and the "Leprechaun" film series, the Ewok Wicket in "Return of the Jedi" and Professor Filius Flitwick and Griphook in the "Harry Potter" films.

1959: A chartered plane carrying rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson crashes soon after takeoff from Clear Lake, Iowa, killing all three along with pilot Roger Peterson. An investigation later determined that a combination of poor weather conditions and pilot error caused spatial disorientation that made Peterson lose control of the plane. The rock stars, touring as part of the Winter Dance Party tour, had chartered the plane to avoid a long bus ride in cold weather from the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake to the next show in Moorhead, Minnesota. Holly was 22, Valens was 17 and Richardson was 28 at the time of the crash.

Biogasol attracts €15m
13.11.2012 - Danish Biogasol receives €15m equity and state money to test an lignocellulosic ethanol-production technology in a large-scale setting.
The renewable energy company BioGasol ApS from Ballerup has raised €15m. One third of the sum is new equity financing consisting of a co-investment by the current majority shareholder, Cyprus-based Fjord Capital Partners Ltd, and Unipension, a leading Danish pension fund managing assets of more than €12bn. €10m stems from a grant which has been approved by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP), a part of the Danish Energy Agency. BioGasol owns an appreciated, innovative pre-treatment reactor design for the cost-efficient and highly controlled conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into replacements for conventional fuels and other oil-based materials. The money is supposed to be used for transfering BioGasol's proprietary technology into demonstration scale. The large-scale testing plant will be built in Denmark starting in Q1/2013. "Our new demonstration facility will be co-financed by our industrial partners, SweetWater Energy in the US and a Scandinavian strategic partner," stated BioGasol's CEO Anders Weber.
Biogasol ApS is a Danish biotechnology company. Since its inception in 2006 as a spinout from the Technical University of Denmark, it already has successfully developed a pentose/hexose co-fermentation technology on pilot scale that makes use of metabolically engineered thermophilic bacteria. Biogasol develops so-called 2nd generation bioethanol by focussing on agricultural waste and wood as a source of lignocellulose.
Italian pioneer Chemtex group on the other hand is about to open a US bioethanol plant which will use non-food grasses grown on marginal land. Interestingly, Chemtex relies on the biomass processing enzymes produced by another Danish company, Novozymes. Biogasol is also uses some Novozymes enzymes. However, the company also owns proprietary and patented organisms like a heat-loving thermophilic bacterium isolated 20 years ago from a thermal spring in Iceland or a xylose-converting bacterium.

News 12 This Morning / Friday, Nov. 9, 2012
APPLING, Ga. -- Thanksgiving is just two weeks away and as you prepare your grocery list for your holiday meal, food pantries in the area are doing the same, but they're missing a few key items.
Columbia County Cares food pantry offers Thanksgiving meals to their registered customers. They come in a brown sack and include staples like a turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries and more. But with just two weeks left until the holiday, they need your help collecting the final touches for the special meal.
"I thank God. It's a blessing that you do have somewhere to go and get some extra food if you need it," said Glenda Curry, a regular at the Columbia County Cares food pantry.
Once a month, Curry and other registered clients go to the food pantry and get a shopping cart filled with food for free.
"I can pay another bill," she said. "It helps tide me over so I don't have to go to the grocery store I can put that money towards a bill and it really helps."
For the month before Thanksgiving they get a little bit more, a Thanksgiving sack.
"It's a complete meal," Curry said. "It has everything you need for a complete Thanksgiving meal."
"There's a lot of people that just simply would not have a Thanksgiving meal," said Dave Iverson, executive director of Columbia County Cares.
It's the 10th year Thanksgiving meals have been available, but this year, a few parts are missing.
"Canned cranberries and evaporated milk," Iverson said. "We don't have enough donations, so we're currently having to buy those every week."
But Iverson says your donations can help.
"You know a lot of them can't afford to go out and get this stuff on their own," he explained.
With Columbia County's growing population, more people are looking for help.
"We've got a growth of maybe 80 percent from the first time we started doing this until now."
Meaning more donations are needed to make sure everyone has a meal to be thankful for.
"It does wonders," Curry said. "Especially for people who are less fortunate and they don't have that meal to prepare they know they can come to the local food bank and get a meal that's gonna take them through the holidays. I think it's a blessing."
So far they've done about 300 meals but still have next week to go. You had to be registered by Oct. 20 in order to receive a meal. It may not seem like a lot, but its those little things like the cranberries and milk that really allow it to be a full Thanksgiving meal for those who need it.
If you want to help, they take donations at the food pantry in Appling or the Bi-Lo on Columbia Road and Belair Road. They are 100 percent donation supported. They are also always looking for volunteers as well.

Best Celebrity Makeunders
These stars finally took that "less is more" adage to heart when it came to changing up their hairstyles and makeup
Then, while celebrities are in the throes of trying out different hair colors and styles and makeup trends, searching for their best look (and maybe themselves) in the process, hits and misses are inevitable. Unlike us though, they get immortalized via photos that the free world has access to (in places like "Us Weekly" not Facebook). Since some of the "hits" happen when celebs are wearing less makeup, more natural looking hairstyles and not committing any beauty crimes, we decided to do a round up of the best celebrity makeunders -- because really, makeunders don't get quite enough love.
See the makeunder photos now.
Not all of these makeunders are created equally though. For the starlets that regularly rock borderline trainwreck-y beauty looks, their "after" photo represents a serious makeunder moment. But for some of the other celebs, their over-the-top look might have simply been the result of an off night when they decided to take a big beauty swing � and missed. Nonetheless, less is usually more when it comes to beauty as the following photos of these famous women prove: Drew Barrymore, Christina Aguilera, Angelina Jolie, Avril Lavigne, Scarlet Johansson, Denise Richards, Beyonc�, Carrie Underwood, Ashlee Simpson Wentz and Kate Gosselin.
If you delayed gratification and made it this far, now go and check out the best celebrity makeunders.

"Johansson's too-blonde, almost yellow, single process color never really worked for us. She already has the pin-up thing going for her, so the super blonde hue and ultra smoky eye seen here makes her look more Playmate, less A-list" Why always putting down Playmates down? They can also look and be A-Class, for God sake! Stop putting them down!
