Providence €1bn sale would have saved O'Reilly
Indian group ONGC eyed up takeover last year
Indian State-owned energy company Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) last year eyed a full takeover of Providence Resources at a value of up to $1.5bn (€1.1bn). A deal at that level would have valued biggest shareholder Tony O'Reilly's 15pc stake at €165m – almost enough to clear his personal debts to AIB and a group of eight other banks.
At the same time that Tony O'Reilly Jnr was presenting Providence's results to the market on Friday morning last, Judge Kelly was preparing to give his judgement on the case brought by AIB against his father.
It was ultimately to be a tale of contrasting fortunes for the family. One analyst described the Providence results as an "upbeat presentation" – but over in the Four Courts, Judge Kelly punctured O'Reilly Sr's proposals to repay his debts.
Last Friday, O'Reilly failed in a bid to get more time to repay his loans to the bank. He was refused a stay on execution of a €22.6m judgement entered against him by AIB. His debts to the banks total €195m. The court ruling will now lead to a sale of some of his assets to pay off his debts.
Last Friday, O'Reilly sold off 3.7 million shares in INM, which were secured to ACC. He is also selling the 750-acre Castlemartin Estate in Kildare. He also owns a stake in industrial holding group Fitzwilton, shares in INM as well as the 15 per cent stake of Providence Resources.
Last Friday, Providence boss Tony O'Reilly Jr told investors on a conference call that the Irish oil-exploration company had been close to a buyout deal last year. He declined to comment on the identity of the suitor.
The Sunday Independent has since established that the Indian state-owned energy company, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), eyed a full takeover of the Irish listed company at a value of up to $1.5bn company (€1.1bn).
Investment banking sources told the Sunday independent that ONGC was "ready to pull the trigger" in April last year. Providence's oil find at Barryroe in the sea off Cork was attracting worldwide attention, with Malay- sian oil firm Petronas also said to be interested.
However, ONGC shifted position at a late stage and moved to invest close to $9bn in two deals for acreage off the coast of Mozambique instead.
The timing of a buyout would have been extremely advantageous to Ireland's first billionaire Tony O'Reilly, who has spent the last two years negotiating a repayment plan with his bankers over his personal loans. He owes money to AIB and eight other banks – including Bank of Ireland, Ulster Bank, Mellon Bank, Trust Bahamas Ltd, Lloyds TSB, EFG and Lone Star, which acquired his Anglo Irish Bank loans.
The repayment plan has seen O'Reilly sell off more than €100m worth of other shares, art and other assets to pay down his debt.
O'Reilly has said that he was "disappointed" that AIB had decided to go on a solo run and depart from a forbearance understanding that he had with his creditors. The ONGC deal for Providence – had it gone through – would have netted around €165m for O'Reilly, almost enough to clear his debt.
An almost complete shutdown in buyout deals in the global exploration and production sector has seen share prices for companies such as Providence hammered on the markets.
Last week, Providence shares were trading at just stg £1.40 in London, valuing the whole company at €120m – a year after it was worth €1.1bn. Stockbroking firms value Providence at a huge multiple of its current share price with the planned farmout of Barryroe unlocking this value.
UK broker Cenkos estimates that the Providence Resources drilling programme is worth £26.59 per share. Davy values the firm at around £16.08 per share, with Liberum guiding £22 per share.
Last year, Providence appointed Rothschild to advise on the long-awaited farmout of Barryroe. It is understood that the a number of high-profile oil majors have attended the Providence data room, with a small number of serious companies in detailed negotiations over a deal.
This renewed interest is said to stem from Providence's revised development programme for Barryroe which reduces upfront capital and accelerates the timeline to first production. Industry sources have also pointed to an increased interest in oil and gas exploration off Ireland in recent months as the ISIS insurgency in Iraq threatens to push oil prices higher.
The spat between Ukraine and Russia is also said to be influencing companies' thinking on looking at safer geo-political locations.
The Irish Government's move to introduce a new oil tax regime recently has also removed a huge uncertainty for investors eyeing explorations assets. A number of large buyouts in the sector in recent weeks have also improved investor sentiment.

The world's biggest annual biotechnology conference opens this week in Toronto, providing a forum for boosters as well as detractors of an industry where stock prices have been hammered by regulatory setbacks.
The sector has had a tough year in terms of financial performance. The American Stock Exchange biotech index closed Friday at 361.90, a 44% drop from where it stood 12 months earlier.
This year, more than 12,000 representatives from health care, agricultural, industrial and environmental biotechnology are expected to attend the convention.
The conference will feature several symposiums, including a session today addressing ways to smooth the Food and Drug Administration drug approval process. Topics such as when a company should give up on an experimental drug and whether drug development costs are justified will be the focus of other discussions.

Pass rushers DeMarcus Ware, Julius Peppers are released
A couple of accomplished pass rushers became available when DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers were released to create room under the league's salary cap in two of the biggest moves at Tuesday's start of the free-agency signing period.
The Associated Press
A couple of accomplished pass rushers became available when DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers were released to create room under the league's salary cap in two of the biggest moves at Tuesday's start of the free-agency signing period.
The Chicago Bears cut ties with the 34-year-old Peppers, who has 118½ sacks in 12 seasons, as part of a series of moves aimed at improving their defense, including a five-year contract with former Oakland Raiders end Lamarr Houston.
The Cowboys let Ware, 31, and his 117 sacks go.
"A decision like this, involving a man who is a cornerstone player in the history of your franchise, is extremely difficult," Dallas owner Jerry Jones said of Ware. "We were also in very strong agreement that playing for the Dallas Cowboys would be one of the options we would both be exploring."
Ware was set to count $16 million against the salary cap. By releasing him Tuesday, the Cowboys saved more than $7 million.
With the salary cap rising $10 million to a record $133 million, several players found new homes shortly after the market officially opened — and safeties and offensive linemen were popular commodities.
Jairus Byrd, a three-time Pro Bowl safety previously with Buffalo, agreed to terms with the New Orleans Saints, part of a merry-go-round of moves at his position.
Other safeties swapping clubs: Michael Jenkins, from the Saints to the Philadelphia Eagles; Donte Whitner, from the San Francisco 49ers to the Cleveland Browns; Antoine Bethea, from the Indianapolis Colts to the 49ers; T.J. Ward, from the Browns to Denver; Mike Mitchell, from the Carolina Panthers to the Pittsburgh Steelers; and Ryan Mundy, from the New York Giants to the Bears.
Two of the most sought-after cornerbacks also were on the move. Alterraun Verner, who had five interceptions for Tennessee last season, agreed to a four-year contract with Tampa Bay, and Aqib Talib left New England for a six-year deal with Denver worth a reported $57 million.
AFC champion Denver reportedly is interested in Ware.
Deals for offensive linemen were highlighted by Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert's five-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. Albert previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Left tackle Jared Veldheer and the Arizona Cardinals agreed to a five-year contract worth up to $35 million. Veldheer left the Raiders, who replaced him by giving former St. Louis Rams lineman Rodger Saffold a five-year deal. Another left tackle, Eugene Monroe, agreed to a five-year contract to stay with the Baltimore Ravens.
Guards switching teams: Zane Beadles was joining the Jacksonville Jaguars from Denver; Atlanta agreed to terms with Jon Asamoah, who left the Chiefs; and Washington struck a deal with Shawn Lauvao, who left the Browns.
The Jaguars were busy, including a trade that sent quarterback Blaine Gabbert to the 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick, an agreement with former Minnesota running back Toby Gerhart and re-signing cornerback Will Blackmon.
49ers acquire Martin in trade
SAN FRANCISCO – Jonathan Martin, the offensive tackle who accused Miami Dolphins teammates of bullying last season, was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a conditional draft pick and will be reunited with his Stanford coach, Jim Harbaugh.
Martin, 24, must pass a physical to complete the deal. "Big news. ... Beyond Blessed. ... Opportunities are few in the NFL. ... Can't wait to get to work #9erEmpire," Martin posted on Twitter.

Barclays boss set to take helm at pay firm
Barclays deputy chairman Sir Mike Rake is expected to leave at the end of the year after being appointed chairman of payments processing firm Worldpay.
Sir Mike will take up the post at Worldpay on September 1 and Barclays said he would hold both positions until "at least" the end of 2015, although it is understood he has already made it clear to the bank's board he plans to step down by early 2016.
Details of the appointment follow just a week after Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins was fired.
Recently appointed chairman John McFarlane said a new leader was needed for the bank after revenue and shares growth had failed to impress.
Mr McFarlane is taking over duties from Mr Jenkins as executive chairman on an interim basis from tomorrow.
A spokesman for Barclays said: "Sir Michael Rake is the deputy chairman and senior independent director on the Barclays board.
"Sir Michael intends to continue in these positions, and be a member of the board, until at least the end of 2015."

Internationally best-selling crime writer Val McDermid' s work speaks for itself: her books have sold millions of copies worldwide, won numerous accolades, and attracted a devoted following of readers around the globe. Her latest, Cross and Burn , picks up where The Retribution left off: following the best crime-fighting team in the UK-- clinical psychologist Tony Hill and police detective Carol Jordan-- who when we last saw them were barely speaking, and whose relationship will now be challenged even further.
Guilt and grief have driven a wedge between long time crime-fighting partners psychologist Tony Hill and ex-DCI Carol Jordan. But just because they're not talking doesn't mean the killing stops.
Someone is killing women. Women who bear an unsettling resemblance to Carol Jordan. And when the evidence begins to point in a disturbing direction, thinking the unthinkable seems the only possible answer. Cornered by events, Tony and Carol are forced to fight for themselves and each other as never before.
An edge-of-your-seat page-turner from one of the best crime writers we have, Cross and Burn is a chilling, unforgettable read.
©2013 Val McDermid (P)2013 Recorded Books
"Don't start the series here"
In the last book (no spoiler), everything went FUBAR. I couldn't imagine how McDermid would resurrect the characters, but she did. This is another excellent serial killer book, in this case delving into sexism and gender roles but not in an obvious way. I simply loved every page, but if you haven't read the other books, don't start the series here. Bechdel test: Passed (almost all main characters are female). Grade: A-
Narration: Doyle is excellent. He perfectly captures Tony Hill, Carol Jordan and friends. I hope the publisher never picks another narrator.
"Picking up the pieces..."
I love this series. I was devastated, as were the main characters, at the end of the last book.
This book gathers the pieces of those widely divided characters and loosely unites them in efforts to save one of their own. The serial killings, detective work, and eventual justice are all here. In fact, they are the force that pulls everyone closer. We are left with this loose network of characters and some hints for the future.
I believe that Val McDermid dropped in enough hints about the previous squad's history to allow this book to stand alone.
Gerard Doyle gives another excellent performance.
Note: There is an unrelated short story added after the book ends. Due to some poor editing, it just starts as if part of the book. It took a bit (staring at my ipod) to realize that it is an "extra." It is worth listening to it, just be aware that its title, introduction, etc. are at its end instead of at the beginning.
"Another terrific book in the Dr. Tony Hill series"
The writing is good, the characters believable and interesting and the plot thick enough to entertain. As usual, Gerald Doyle gives a fine reading. I recommend highly.
"wince and learn"
The first half of #8 in this series felt very deja vu and second rate for a McDermid, but second half contained her usual engrossing storyline. However, for me, enduring the usual Mcdermid graphic, domestic-inspired violence wasn't worth the second-half story. If you're not planning on listening to all of the Tony Hill-Carol Jordan series, skip this one -- On the other hand, if you're going to read only one in the series and don't mind the graphic descriptions of brutally abused women, this might be THE one, as it could stand alone (despite its ties to The Retribution, #7). Also this one involves Paula MacIntyre more than most others, so it might be of interest to those who like her character. I winced at the violence, but I learned from McDermid's observations on human nature.
The usual ending that sees Tony and Carol's relationship heading around a new bend is marred by the omission of the "You have been listening to..." statement before the inclusion of a clever short story by McDermid - to me this is a three star novel with an extra star for the short story (once I figured out it wasn't the next chapter of the novel!). Narrator Doyle is excellent as usual.
"great story"
nothing better than another crime drama involving Tony h. and Carol Jordan. Such great character that you always root for.
"Really enjoyed this book."
Well worth my time; love how McDermid ties all the aspects of previous books into one great story after the next. Can't wait for the next edition,
"They're Back!"
Fast-paced and complex.
How the series characters, especially Tony and Carol, develop a little more. And I really, really liked the story, too. The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is that I'd like more men in the stories, too.
I don't think I've heard Doyle's other performances, but I will definitely keep an eye out for him. I thought he did an excellent job narrating Cross and Burn, capturing accent, mood and voice superbly.
Once I got started, yes, I could have kept listening. In fact, I listened to the last half of the book straight through one long night when I had insomnia. Very engaging.
The crimes in this book, like others of McDermid's novels, are harsh, but, in my opinion, this book is a bit less gruesome, a bit more gentle, than the other books in the series. And I liked that. It was far less harrowing than The Retribution (that preceded Cross and Burn), and had a solid storyline, a really good mystery and British detective/police procedural.

So... yesterday was my final day of high school, I felt like throwing up the entire time. Not due to nerves or anything, but before the day started I went to my local Raley's and picked up a liter and a half of chocolate milk and drank it within 10 minutes.
In my choir final, I was given my final way early, so what I did for an hour and a half was play Pokemon (keep in mind that I was an 18 yr old senior) The girls that tried talking to me in that class were ignored due to my mind being fully involved in Pokemon and trying to not to throw up/ shit everywhere.
The next final I had was a spinning final, I still felt sick during the written portion; luckily, it only took 30 minutes and then we all went and hung out in the gym waiting for school to get over. However, I was not in the gym for a good majority of the time. Since the locker room was completely empty I sat around in there and released all the built-up gas, due to the chocolate milk... Definately was not one of my greatest moments and not how I had hoped to be spending my last day of high school.
As soon as the bell rang, I sprinted out to see all my friends and started doing silly dances; upon running around, I stumbled across my friend "Tone". Out of pure excitement, I ran up and gave Tone a giant bear hug... the only problem is that I forgot the a bear hug would hurt him, due to his collar bone which he broke only a few days prior. I apologized as best as I could and he accepted it then kissed me on the cheek and I kissed him back (now, before you jump to any conclusions, Tone and I are both straight, we just have one of those friendships where we don't care what others think and it's slightly homo-erotic (no homo))
I continued to run through the parking lot, as gleeful as humanly possible. When I was in the middle of the aisle in the parking lot, I look towards my friends in a giant group near their cars. As I look onward, I see a black Nissan Altima peel out from behind a parked car almost strike all of my friends in the group and is headed directly towards me. I was able to sprint out of the way, even though it was like two feet from hitting me... if you are reading this Altima Driver, you are a dick and I hope you get AIDs then die in a car crash :) I walk to my friends and I immediately start just yelling cuss words at the car, that never even slowed down or stopped; the thing is, the majority of the kids in this particular group are mormon. I look around and realize that I'm insulting their beliefs, so I apologize much like this, "I'm sorry for cussing so much, but I was almost hit by a fucking dick!"
Afterwards, my friend "Porter" and I were headed to a local breakfast resturant to meet more of our friends there; while driving down there, we yelled at absolutely everybody on the way, not even comprehensible yelling, we just were yelling to make noise. After a while, there were no more people to yell at and we had no idea what to do, so we just kinda turned up the radio and drove in quiet for the last minute (for you girls out there, guys don't try to get to know their friends, so we hardly ever have deep meaningful talks that I know ladies have)
At the breakfast eatery, we started playing dice as the artificial sweeteners as currency, but I didn't really play due to me still feeling the consequences of chugging 1 1/2 liters of chocolate milk. I wouldn't want to play because my friend "Ginger" kept on winning like every round, he only lost once; and my other friend "Hoagie" kept getting mad because of them using artificial sweeteners because they are expensive and he was also getting annoyed by our friend "Shorty" who was acting like himself, but up'ed the annoyance factor up when he heard Hoagie getting mad. My journey at the resturant ended when I needed to go to the bathroom but Porter and my other friend "Zeb" came in before I could lock the door, they eventually left when I explained that I thought I had to shit, but I just had more gas.
We headed to Zeb's house afterwards to have a Nerf gun war (for those of you who never have done this, it's actually way more intense than it sounds) Then Ginger's girlfriend "Ern" came and we decided to have a dance party in Zeb's room. I danced with Zeb, Shorty, Ginger, Hoagie, "Pretty-Boy" and "Treebeard"all the while Ern and Hoagie's sister, "Ducky," watched as we absolutely destroyed Zeb's room and left it in disarray as we headed towards the trampoline and invented a new game called "Ocean." The rules are simple: everybody bounce in a circle, somebody (doesn't matter who) yells "pockets on the ground" and everybody sits on their butt. The last one to hit the ground gets put in the ocean or the shame center and people bounce around them and make fun of them until somebody yells out "pockets on the ground" etc...
Shit! I wrote a lot... I'm going to make this a two-part story

Failed Vlog
So, I'm going to try and fail at this blog, much like my wildly unsuccessful vlog. My vlog was sooo unpopular that not even spammers would message my e-mail address, can you imagine thinking you are doing great after only like three videos and only to get two subscribers and a combined total of 25 views. So I haven't had the heart to film anymore, I'm not much of a filming-star, I never had the energy so it was almost a drag, and none of my thoughts were connected, I always just ranted on and on and I wasn't even sure what I was talking about.
So, this blog is mostly about me, and the stories of my life that let me know that our society is going to Hell in a hand basket. I'll try to put one such story soon.
P.S. If anybody writes blogs, what is the label thing below on editing.

WATKINSVILLE -- A 150-acre tract near Eastville will be the home of Oconee County's new elementary and new high school, according to a Monday night announcement from the Oconee County Board of Education.
The tract, to be purchased for $1.5 million -- $10,000 an acre -- is located off Rocky Branch Road north of Georgia Highway 53 and east of Eastville, within a couple of miles of the current high school, which is located on Highway 53.
A total of 130 acres of the tract will be used for the new high school, with the remaining 20 acres allocated to a new elementary school.
Voters approved construction of the new high school as one of the projects to be funded with a 1 percent special purpose, local-option sales tax.
The school board will use its general fund revenues to acquire the 20 acres needed for the elementary school.
The land, owned by John Cook, will be purchased by the school board with two payments.
The first payment will be due when the deal for the land is closed, with the second coming due in July.
Development of the elementary school is on schedule with a school board time line.
According to Doug Eza, Oconee County school system administrator, the elementary school should be ready for classes in fall 2001.
The high school is still projected for completion in the summer of 2004, despite some parental urging of the school board to speed up construction.
Board members considered eight different sites before finally deciding on the Eastville location.
At Monday's announcement, the board was unanimous in the view that the 150-acre tract off Rocky Branch Road had all of the attributes needed for the two new schools.
''This piece is nice because it's got paved access. It's a flat piece of land. It has sewer access, and we think the site is big enough to separate the high school and the elementary school. That is a big factor,'' said board member Dr. John Glisson. ''Of the land we looked at, it had the best combination of qualities.''
Board of Education Chairman Chuck Horton agreed, saying, ''It's a beautiful piece of land.''

Extensively metabolized in liver by CYP3A to sulphone metabolite and CYP2C19 to desmethyl rabeprazole. Thioether and sulphone metabolites are formed by reduction of rabeprazole. These metabolites do not have significant antisecretory activity. CYP2C19 exhibits genetic polymorphism caused by deficiency in some subpopulations (white patients, 3% to 5%; Asian patients, 17% to 20%).
Plasma half-life is 1 to 2 h. Eliminated in urine (90% as thioether carboxylic acid, glucuronide, and mercapturic acid); remainder recovered in feces. No unchanged drug recovered.
Special PopulationsRenal Function Impairment
No pharmacokinetic differences in ESRD compared with healthy volunteers.Hepatic Function Impairment
For chronic mild to moderate hepatic impairment, AUC approximately doubled and elimination half-life was 2- to 3-fold higher, total Cl decreased to less than half. For mild to moderate hepatic impairment, C max increased approximately 20% (not significant).Elderly
AUC values doubled; C max increased 60%.Children
Pharmacokinetics in patients 12 to 16 y of age with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were within the range observed in healthy adults.Gender
Pharmacokinetics did not differ between men and women.Race
Values for AUC for healthy Japanese men were approximately 50% to 60% higher than values for healthy men in the United States.
Indications and Usage
Short-term treatment in healing and symptomatic relief of duodenal ulcers and erosive or ulcerative GERD; maintaining healing and reducing relapse rates of heartburn symptoms in patients with erosive or ulcerative GERD; treatment of daytime and nighttime heartburn and other symptoms associated with GERD; long-term treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions, including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome; in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin to eradicate Helicobacter pylori in patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease.
Unlabeled Uses
Prevention of GI bleeding in patients receiving antiplatelets.
Known hypersensitivity to rabeprazole or substituted benzimidazoles, or to any component of the formulation.
Dosage and AdministrationDuodenal Ulcers
PO 20 mg/day after the morning meal for 4 wk; additional therapy may be required for some patients.Short-Term Treatment of GERD
Adults and Children 12 y and older
PO 20 mg once daily for up to 8 wk.Erosive or Ulcerative GERD
PO 20 mg/day for 4 to 8 wk; an additional 8 wk may be considered for patients who do not heal. For the maintenance healing of GERD, 20 mg/day.Pathological Hypersecretory Conditions
PO 60 mg/day. Adjust dose to individual patient needs. Dosages up to 100 mg daily or 60 mg twice daily have been administered.H. Pylori Eradication
PO Rabeprazole 20 mg plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg plus clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily for 7 days with morning and evening meals.
General Advice
- Tablets should be swallowed whole; do not chew, crush, or split.
- May take with or without food.
Store between 59° and 86°F. Protect from moisture.
Drug InteractionsAtazanavir
Atazanavir plasma concentrations may be reduced, decreasing the efficacy. Coadministration is not recommended.Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole)
The bioavailability of certain azole antifungals may be decreased because of a possible reduction in tablet dissolution in the presence of a high gastric pH. If coadministration cannot be avoided, administering the azole antifungal with a cola beverage during coadministration with rabeprazole may minimize changes in the azole antifungal's bioavailability.Calcium salts
Calcium absorption may be reduced, decreasing the therapeutic effect. Larger calcium doses may be needed, especially in patients taking long-term rabeprazole therapy.Clarithromycin
Combined administration of rabeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin resulted in increased rabeprazole and 14-hydroxyclarithromycin plasma concentrations. These increases are not expected to produce safety concerns.Clopidogrel
The antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel may be decreased. Avoid coadministration unless there is a specific indication for a proton pump inhibitor. H 2 receptor antagonists (eg, ranitidine) may be a safer alternative.Digoxin
Increased serum digoxin concentrations may occur. Because digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index, clinical and laboratory monitoring is warranted, especially if digoxin concentrations are in the upper range when rabeprazole is started.Drugs dependent on gastric pH for absorption (eg, digoxin, ketoconazole)
Rabeprazole produces sustained inhibition of gastric acid secretion. An interaction with compounds that are dependent on gastric pH for absorption may occur because of the magnitude of acid suppression observed with rabeprazole. Plasma levels of digoxin may be increased, while ketoconazole concentrations may be decreased.Erlotinib
Plasma concentration and pharmacologic effects of erlotinib may be decreased. The increase in gastric pH associated with rabeprazole therapy decreases the solubility and bioavailability of erlotinib. Administration of an antacid several hours before or after erlotinib may be considered as an alternative to rabeprazole.Fluvoxamine
Rabeprazole plasma concentrations may be elevated, increasing the pharmacologic effects and risk of adverse reactions. Monitor for rabeprazole adverse reactions.Ginkgo biloba
Rabeprazole plasma concentrations may be reduced, decreasing the therapeutic effect. Caution patients taking rabeprazole to avoid ginkgo biloba.Mycophenolate
Plasma concentration and pharmacologic effects of mycophenolate may be decreased. The mycophenolate dose may need to be increased. Enteric-coated mycophenolate is not expected to be affected by concurrent use with proton pump inhibitors.Rilpivirine
Plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of rilpivirine may be reduced, possibly resulting in loss of virologic response or resistance. Coadministration is contraindicated.Salicylates (eg, aspirin)
Proton pump inhibitor–mediated increase in gastric pH results in a more rapid dissolution and release of salicylate from the enteric-coated product, which increases gastric adverse reactions. Patients at risk of serious gastric disorders due to the release of salicylates in the stomach should avoid concurrent use of these agents.Tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitors (eg, dasatinib, nilotinib)
Plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of dasatinib and nilotinib may be reduced. The increase in gastric pH associated with rabeprazole therapy decreases the solubility and bioavailability of dasatinib and nilotinib. Coadminister with caution. Separating the administration times is not likely to circumvent the interaction. However, administration of an antacid or histamine H 2 blocker several hours before or after dasatinib or nilotinib may be considered as an alternative to rabeprazole.Voriconazole
Rabeprazole plasma concentrations may be elevated, increasing the pharmacologic effects and risk of adverse reactions. Close clinical monitoring for rabeprazole adverse reactions is warranted. Initial reduction in the rabeprazole dose may be needed when voriconazole is added.Warfarin
Increased INR and PT have been reported with concurrent rabeprazole. Monitor INR and PT.
Adverse Reactions
Headache (10%); dizziness; coma, disorientation/delirium (postmarketing).
Bullous eruptions, severe dermatologic eruptions including erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, TEN (postmarketing).
Diarrhea, nausea (5%); abdominal pain, vomiting (4%); flatulence (3%); constipation (2%); dry mouth.
Hepatic encephalopathy; hepatitis; increased hepatic enzymes; jaundice (postmarketing).
Agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia (postmarketing).
Hyperammonemia, TSH elevations (postmarketing).
Arthralgia; myalgia; bone fractures, rhabdomyolysis (postmarketing).
Pain, pharyngitis (3%); infection (2%); peripheral edema; anaphylaxis, angioedema, interstitial nephritis, interstitial pneumonia, sudden death (postmarketing).
Category B .
Safety and efficacy not established in the short-term treatment of GERD in children younger than 12 y. For other indications, safety and efficacy not established.
Hepatic Function
Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Bone fracture
Use may be associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.
Gastric malignancy
Symptomatic response to rabeprazole does not preclude gastric malignancy.
No experience with large doses.
Patient Information
- Instruct patients to take each dose without regard to meals but to take with food if stomach upset occurs.
- Instruct patients to swallow tablets whole and not to split, crush, or chew the tablets.
- Instruct patients to report any of the following to health care provider: bloody or coffee ground–like vomit; black, tarry stools; recurrent heartburn; recurrent indigestion or abdominal pain; increasing need for antacid use; any bothersome adverse reactions (eg, headache, constipation, gas).

A webseries based upon the Hunger Games
Sobre el proyecto
Our webseries has for setting the 25th edition of the Hunger Games, in which 24 boys and girls between twelve and eighteen years old are elected by the citizens of their Districts to take part in a fight to death in a natural mountain arena.
Expiation focuses on the life of a rich Capitol family during the whole Games, mixing their luxuous everyday life and the bloody combats of the teenagers in the arena.
A rich Capitol family - the father works for the organisation of the Games, the kids learn the history of Panem, and they just bought a new servant. They sit in front of the television. Tonight is a special night : after a long year of waiting, the Hunger Games start again. And this year is exceptional : it's the very first Quarter Quell. In a world still scarred by the Districts' rebellion, twenty-four teenagers will be elected by their friends, their families, to fight to death in a gigantic highland arena. The Capitol citizens also prepare for the only thing that really matters : who will they bet on this year ?
(Photo credit : Nature & Sentiers)
In the heart of the French Alps, we have incredibly beautiful moutains, giving us an extraordinary Hunger Games arena covered in forests, waterfalls and limestone cliffs. We are also near the city, letting us film scenes in very different places : for example, the abandoned mines of the Mure...
...or the Grenoble apartment buildings, or the corn fields of Moirans, or the ultra-modern buildings of the city center.
The versatility of the Grenoble region is our greatest asset to capture the extremely different atmospheres of the webseries, showing the luxury of one family's life, the poverty of the Districts and the natural beauty of the arenas.
Para qué es la financiación
700€ of the total collected fund will be reserved for buying a good mic and recorder. We will also get a green screen and a boom. We know that a bad audio quality is extremely inconvenient for watchers, and really want to work on it. If the collected funds are higher than the ones we asked for, we could also buy a pro camera (we currently own two semi-pro cameras).
100€ of the total will be used for making goodies and in particular, the posters (especially those for the castings). If the collected funds are higher than expected, we might make some goodies that are not only for our sponsors.
Costumes and accessories
Costumes are expensive, and latex weapons even more. This is why 700€ will be used for buying them. If the collected funds are higher than expected, the costumes will be more beautiful, the weapons more realistic and the fake blood more bloody !
Our film set is in the middle of the moutains, and a bus return trip is around 10 euros. Starting with a 100€ nest egg will help us financing the main cast and the crew, who have to go there more regularly. If the collected funds are higher than expected, we might have enough to buy a (300€) subscription to some of our busiest actors, who'd still pay a part of the others' costs.
Some indicative prices...
Pro camera : 2000€
Pro microphone : 210€
Recorder : 250€
Microphone boom : 50€
Green screen : 30€
Costumes : 24x80€ (30€ for the arena, 50€ for the rest) + Capitol costumes : 7x100€
Fake blood : circa 30€ per month
Latex sword : 70€
Bus tickets : 25€ for 3 return tickets
Creation of the GrePlan Prod. association : 44€

Project Eternity - Social Round-Up #4
Gamebanshee has posted another round of news gathered from various social sites for Project Eternity. Visit the link for all the news as the list is very extensive.
The main issue I have with the attribute system in P:E (I admit we don't know much about it) is that it limits a player's ability to "role-play" a certain type of character (i.e the dumb brute). Any plans on expanding RP opportunities outside of LARPing
It doesn't at all -- conceptually or the specific example you gave. You can very easily make a dumb brute fighter character in PE and role-play him or her as such. You can also make a brilliant weakling fighter character and role-play him or her as such. The difference between doing this in PE and, for example, D&D, is that in PE this is a fully viable character concept who emphasizes different elements in combat.
I have to say I think it's an odd complaint considering that to even arguably have ability score-based role-playing opportunities against type with A/D&D, you are required to build a character that is bad at his or her class. It's better in later editions of D&D because they put more effort into providing some universal values for ability scores, but there are still fundamentally horrible builds. A decent number of feats allow for viable Int-based fighters (for example), but a Cha-based fighter is flat-out bad at being a fighter.
You can find ways to work around it, but they're almost all splat book-based prestige classes and feats that try to put a band-aid over the fundamental problem, which is an imbalance of class-specific and universal benefits provided by the ability score array.
Thank for your response. I'm actually not concerned about the combat implications of your attribute system (no dump stats? Great!), but rather what the proposed implementation implies for PE as an RPG: attributes are nothing more than modifiers for combat. It takes away what little cRPGs COULD have in terms of mechanically interesting chars to RP, e.g. low int chars in Arcanum had worthwhile dumb convo options (yes, it was gimmicky, but it has potential). Do P:E's stats also help "define" our chars?
Yes, of course they do. All attributes are used in both scripted interactions and standard conversations to unlock options -- as in PS:T, but with a heavier emphasis on equal use of the attributes.
One of the reasons we don't have a dialogue/speech skill is so a character's attributes can be used as dialogue prerequisites with greater frequency.

Feeling Lost..
March 5th, 2007
I am not sure how I ended up at this forum but am sure glad I did. I will try to give a quick run through on myself. I am 45 years old and just found out a week ago that I have lupus. I have had problems for the last 6 years. The symptoms and pain differ all the time, at least in regards to where it is at. The constant pain is the one identifier I think I have. Recently I had discovered I had a herniated cervical disk and a bulging one. I had been having pain and numbness and tingling down my right arm and leg. I have just finished up with traction therapy and found that the pain and other stuff was not gone so set up for the pain clinic to get shots in my neck. I just figured all my pain was from that and that well all the other stuff i had going on was just in my mind, that is what the doc's told me anyway.
I have had rashes for 6 years now that came when I would be in the sun, I just assumed I was allergic to the sun, was what I was told by a doctor. The rashes have gotten worse over the last 6 years so that now I get them and dont even have to be in the sun. The way I found out I have lupus is my dermatologist took a biopsy of my rash and it came back saying lupus, boy was that a surprise for all of us. I have been tested for everything under the sun because of all the symptoms I have and all have come back negative, even my ANA. I am being retested and am currently waiting on those results. I do have a question though, can you have lupus and have a neg ANA? Are there questions I should ask my internist when I see him after these tests come back? I just feel so in the dark. I am not sure whether I want to cry alot, I try to laugh it off to my family cause they dont understand how I can hurt so bad.
I really am glad I found this forum. I think I will be glad to have somewhere to go to have someone to talk to.

Not Feeling So Lost And Alone
I too have lupus,dermatologist also found it ,it was a no brainer for him the second he looked at me.It is hard to ''laugh it off '' somedays,I do my best though.I am now understanding that ther is many stages after a diagnosis.grief,anger ,depression,bewilderment,etc.It hurts knowing some one has this disease,because often,people look at you like you are crazy,because they can't totally relate,I call it the ''beast''.I used to be in the sun from morning til night,now,it isn't possible,I was a ''cronic gardener'',had the greenhouse and the whole nine yards,purchased 160 acres of land in the fall to keep up with the passion of gardening,now,I don't know what I will be able to due with it.I have my good days and bad,though bad usually out number the good.
I have had weird results,some + some - ,it is frustrating,but I look at each day as it's own experience,I am not a crier by nature,so to let out the emotions ,is hard,I am learning to let them out privately,my kids don't need to see that as well...though it does happen. It is so ...well,excuse me but,it really pisses me off when doctors,family,or friends look at me and say,''ya look okay''....ah,yeah accept for the face lesions,eye(rim)lesions,full face redness-like a sunburn..though I've been indoors all day!
I am in another group(www.healingwell.com) and have dicovered we all have similar cases and yet very different. Have they figured out if it is SLE ,discoid,or another?They were really checking my kidneys today,all this stuff is hard to deal with.I recently started documenting all things,it might help .See about getting into a rheumatologist,I am still waiting for my appointment(mar,22) I am leaning towards ''alternative''medicine,a Dr" of chinese medicine...I don't want to be taking pill after pill,I think''herbalogists''(sp) are up the same alley,hope you have a great support system,send me messages if you like,I'm always willing to talk,just don't be overally vague,because I have difficulty with some memory.YOU are not alone,I wish you all the success,and remember,knowledge is power and there is strength in numbers,I am willing to talk(read) ,listen,and help in any possible way!

While the focus remains on which starting pitchers the Padres might be looking to acquire this winter, general manager Josh Byrnes has three key staff positions to fill.
In addition to those much needed pitchers, the Padres have openings at bullpen coach, strength and conditioning coach and Double-A manager.
Although Byrnes has known about the opening at bullpen coach since the decision was made at the end of the season to return interim bullpen coach Jimmy Jones to his slot as the club's Double-A pitching coach, the openings at the other two spots opened up in over the past two weeks.
Jim Malone, who served seven seasons at the Padres strength and conditioning coach, was hired in the same capacity by the New York Mets.
And the Padres expected John Gibbons to return to manager Double-A San Antonio. But just hours before the Padres announced their minor league managing and coaching lineup last week, Gibbons was named the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Byrnes is expected to interview candidates for the San Antonio manager's slot and the strength and conditioning coach this week.
But one position has apparently been filled.
The Padres have offered former major league pitcher and pitching coach Bob McClure the bullpen coaching position. McClure is expected to make his decision early next week.
McClure started the 2012 season as the pitching coach of the Boston Red Sox after serving as the pitching coach of the Kansas City Royals from 2006-2011.
McClure, 60, pitched 19 seasons in the major leagues before retiring as a player in 1993. He had a 68-57 record with a 3.81 earned run average in 698 games (73 starts). He also had 52 saves.
Following his playing career, McClure was a pitching coach in the Colorado Rockies system from 1999-2005. He started with the Rockies at the same time that Byrnes joined the Rockies as an assistant general manager.
McClure would be the third coach on the Padres staff with a background as a major league pitching coach. Bud Black served as the pitching coach of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for seven seasons before becoming the Padres manager before the start of the 2007 season. Darren Balsley has served as the Padres pitching coach since the middle of the 2003 season.
Jones had taken over as the Padres bullpen coach early last season when Darrel Akerfelds was forced to leave the club due to the pancreatic cancer that claimed his life in June.
The Padres are looking both inside and outside the organization for the successor to Gibbons, who admitted that even he was taken by surprise by the Blue Jays decision to rehire him as their major league manager.
One option inside the organization would be to promote highly-regarded Single-A Lake Elsinore manager Shawn Wooten to Double-A.
As for Malone's departure for the Mets, it had nothing to do with the run of injuries the Padres experienced last season. Malone, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., had expressed for several seasons a desire to get back to the East Coast for family reasons.
Formal announcements on all three positions could be made this week before the start of the Winter Meetings on Dec. 2.
Search for pitching
Evidently there is a starting pitcher out there who has San Diego high on his wish list. And it is not any of the names we've already heard: Dan Haren, Shaun Marcum and Cleveland's Ubaldo Jimenez.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, whose once promising U.S. career was sidetracked by elbow reconstruction surgery in 2011, has told members of the Japanese media that he likes the idea of possibly restarting in San Diego. It seems he liked the city and the ballpark when he pitched at Petco Park in the first World Baseball Classic.
Now 32, Matsuzaka had 33 wins in his first two seasons with the Red Sox in 2007-2008. But he was 1-7 with a 8.28 ERA last year with the Red Sox in 11 starts his return from "Tommy John" surgery.
Now a free agent, Matsuzaka, who made more than $51 million in six seasons with the Red Sox, told a member of the Japanese media that money is not the biggest issue.
Padres notes
--Infielder-outfielder Alexi Amarista is hitting .288 (32-for-111) with two homers and 16 RBI in the Venezuelan Winter League. Jesus Guzman is 5-for-17 with a homer in limited play in Venezuela. Outfielder Dan Robertson is batting .229 (25-for-109) in the Dominican Republic Winter League while first baseman-outfielder Kyle Blanks is 3-for-16 in Puerto Rico.
--Minor league outfielder Corey Adamson is off to a 9-for-23 start with Perth in his native Australian Baseball League.

The Oklahoma State offense scores a touchdown, on average, once every 12 plays. There's more. It has faced down-and-goal situations nine times. And nine times it reached the end zone. Why are these...

Is this guy , why would you do that, to a guy you relied on last year, and most of this season, god forbid something happens to LIN or BD.This guy is a joke, period.
All I can say about Dantoni comment on Toney Douglas is if Dantoni knew how to coach TD would be getting playingtime vs every team that played the night before....I put TD along with Shump, Jefferies, and Tyson Chandler defensive Stop-level....TD offense is a moving without the ball SG....
I would definitely try TD23 out in the 2nd unit. Give him some of JR's minutes for a bit, see what he can do. TD23 was our true 6th man last year and was averaging almost 11 PPG. Give the dude a chance when he's not playing PG.
I just thought it was disrespectful, especially with the extreme laugh at the end of it like TD was the butt of the joke.
He's also basically implying that other guys DON"T know their roles. Yet another coaching knock on him.
Real Talk
did i see that differently i got the sense that he was saying the we dont know what to expect from all the players each night except Douglas because we know hes going to sit there the whole time.
so what really went down with him and Dantoni behind closed doors? im surprised Douglas agent hasnt demanded a trade yet.
image courtesy amareisreal
The "joke" was the reporters had just been asking him all these questions about peoples' roles, new roles with the new people, old roles changing with the new people, etc; then one segued into mentioning Douglas, and the "joke" was that ironically the guy not getting PT now is the one with the most assurance in his "role".
Then D'antoni flat out said not to expect Douglas to get any PT, and that it's simply a byproduct of Lin and Baron being playing now; same way Bibby won't be seeing ****
lol he just started cracking up when he heard TD's name...
says it all.
One of the coach's responsibilities is to keep everyone motivated... you can't just say "dude, you won't bee seeing any playing time", because you never know if and when you'll need the guy. Douglas has had some confidence issues and publicly talking about him "being great at what he's doing right now" (bench warming) is just disrespectful regardless of Toney's current status, basketball skills and late perforamcne.
How does this Schmuck still have a job.
Im gonna bring a Fire Pringles banner to the game on Saturday and slap his face on there!
I'm probably gonna be loud and rowdy as usual and once again start a Fire-Dee-an-to-ni chant!
What a dick.
I'm so tired of this clown.

Either way, it is a virus and they should not have given him antibiotics, especially heavy ones! They should have prescribed an antiviral, like Zovirax. Are there herpes lesions in his throat? Lemon balm works well for the oral blisters.
Something like Maalox could help numb and protect the area.
He should be tested for all STDs. The throat infection could be caused by a sexually transmitted bacteria, and they need specific antibiotics.
I hope he feels better. First outbreaks can be painful and cause a lot of viral symptoms.
You cannot diagnosis herpes I from II clinically. It would take a culture or PCR test and several days. Getting herpes from kissing, eating after someone, giving oral sex etc. doesn't mean cheating. Even getting genital herpes doesn't necessarily mean cheating.
Personally I would take the UC (urgent care) diagnosis with a grain of salt, because those guys are just trying to treat the cause and get you out the door.
He absolutely needs to f/u with a PCP, and have a full gamut of STD testing, but I say anyone who is sexually active with more than one partner should be tested regularly. If you know what you got and how it's spread it's a lot easier to not spread it.
I also know that mouth lesions and throat lesions can be misdiagnosed from even good PCP's. I personally went through this, with a VERY painful mouth lesion that comes and goes, was diagnosed as a burn, a herpatic lesion, possible oral cancer, cankers, and finally the correct diagnosis.....and why it was so freaking painful.....Shingles. Yup I get shingle lesions in my mouth. They come and go, and I usually get an outbreak when I have been sick, or had some major stressor. Makes the trigeminal nerve path on that side scream with pain.
Have him get some teeth medicine and apply to the spots with a q tip to numb them up. Gargle with salt water solution, and then use a teaspoon of honey after. It will clean and sooth.
If it is a herpes thing he could have picked it up when he was a kid even. Herpes is very very very common anymore. If he gets cold sores, he has it.

It wasnt until I worked with the iconic American photographer (and the visual co-creator of American dream brand Ralph Lauren) Bruce Weber that I was introduced to the work of Slim Aarons.
Making his career from photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places, Slim captured the post-war abundance of American aspirations, and in doing so created a mythical standard of living, which has become a trademark of the American dream. The large pools, glamorous outdoor gatherings, chic leisurewear, the whole visual concept of lifestyle, and all done superbly without a stylist or a make-up artist.
Being classic American beauties as well as style icons, CZ Guest and Babe Paley were regulars in Slims world and I cannot help but study their stylish details.
A perfect description of this kind of high-end American beauty comes from writer Jill Gerston, who said of CZ, ''With her pale skin, blue eyes, ash-blond hair and trim figure, she is cut from the same cool, silky cloth as Grace Kelly. It is a patrician beauty that is indigenous to socially registered enclaves like Palm Beach and Southampton, a sporty, outdoorsy look that eschews make-up, hair spray and anything trendy. She has an outspoken, coolly self-assured manner and a throaty, well-modulated voice with a trace of a British accent.''
Which brings me to a woman who, like Ralph Lauren, began life from a completely different side of Americana, and who also became wealthy from designing the aesthetic idea of a lifestyle, one that they themselves were eventually at the helm of.
Born Josephine Esther Mentzer (later given the nickname Esty), Estee Lauder was raised in Queens by her Hungarian mother and Czech father. She started her business with four products and the premise that every woman can be beautiful. She established that in order to make a sale, you had to touch the consumer, show her results on her face and explain the products and encouraged the idea of a beauty community with her famous line telephone, telegraph, tell a woman, believing that if a woman liked her products, she would spread the word. The rest is history; her namesake is now an 8 billion dollar company.
Finally her Granddaughter, Aerin, who spent 20 years working for the company set up by Estee, has made way for her own empire.
Lifestyle is following fabrics, footwear, sunglasses are planned but in the meantime, the high style of the American dream can be found alive and well in these beautifully designed compacts.

The supports are not practical as they only have 4 points of contact.
Even if you have a flat pan, the weight of the handle can topple it if the handle is not directly above or in-line with one of the support points. This is a safety hazard. I spoke to their helpline and they say no-one else has complained about this! I do not agree. The supports need a bit more metal around the circumference...this is why you usually have round or bigger square supports which are continuous at the outer periphery. How are you ever going to use a normal wok (curved base) on the middle plate?
It is a good design apart from this critical failure. They should provide a different type of support ring!
