With five Grammy Awards, 15 nominations, more than 12 million of records sold worldwide and thousands of sold-out performances, blues-rock icon Robert Cray is considered one of the greatest guitarists of his generation; a player whose name is synonymous with a soulful modern blues sound and clean, impeccably phrased guitar work. Rolling Stone credits Cray with reinventing the blues with "distinct razor-sharp guitar playing" that "introduced a new generation of mainstream rock fans to the language and form of the blues" with the release of his Strong Persuader album in 1986.
Since then, Cray has recorded 15 Billboard-charting studio albums and has written or performed with fellow artists including Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker and others. Welcomed into the Blues Hall of Fame at age 57, he is the youngest living inductee to receive the prestigious honor. And while he can look back over an acclaimed three-decade career marked by his trademark sound and distinctive playing style, Cray continues to delight fans worldwide by creating impeccably crafted music and embarking on new tours.
"We have been very lucky," Cray said. "With music becoming mostly digital in recent years and artists not selling the same number of physical records, we're afforded the luxury of having a great loyal and amazing fan base around the world, allowing a band like ours to continue to work."
Born in August 1953 in Columbus, Ga., into a military family that moved often, Cray grew up in houses where blues, jazz, gospel, soul and pop music was always playing, and he began playing guitar in his early teens. During junior high in Newport News, Va., he joined his first band, One Way Street, and he soon became an avid record collector. Near the end of his high school years in Tacoma, Wash., Cray was eyeing a career in architecture but had formed a cover band, Steakface, in which he sang and played guitar.
By the time he was 20, Cray had seen his heroes—Albert Collins, Freddie King and Muddy Waters—in concert, and in 1974 moved to Eugene, Ore., where he started the Robert Cray Band. He played college towns up and down the west coast, and enjoyed several years of regional success before signing to Mercury Records in 1982. His major label debut, Bad Influence, appeared that year, followed by False Accusations in 1985.
Cray's third album, 1986's Strong Persuader, received a Grammy award; single "Smokin' Gun" earned wide appeal and name recognition. Cray was among the more modern blues and roots music artists, such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Thorogood, who received wider airplay and MTV video exposure during the late 1980s. The Robert Cray Band opened for major acts such as Eric Clapton (Cray and Clapton became lifelong friends), and Cray sold out large venues as a solo artist well into the 1990s. Cray has subsequently appeared frequently with Clapton on tour and at large guitar festivals such as Clapton's periodic Crossroads festivals in Chicago.
Fender honored Cray with a signature guitar model, the Robert Cray Stratocaster, in 2003.
The Robert Cray Band's first live album, Live From Across the Pond, appeared in September 2006. Cray continues to be a prolific recording and touring artist; recent releases include Live at the BBC (2008), This Time (2009), Cookin' in Mobile (2010) and 16th album Nothin' but Love (2012).

No, the Nike Santa Cruise Hi women's retro shoes are not related to Tom. Frankly, they're kind of sick of being asked about it. They take their inspiration from soccer shoes, so keep your goals in focus! They weren't featured in Top Gun, Mission Impossible or anything else movie-related. They're just super comfy casual kicks that are made for happy feet!
The Nike Santa Cruise Hi women's retro shoes are a bit similar to the Nike Dunks line, but retain a style all their own with a unique heel wrap that extends to the top two lacing holes. It adds extra support in a critical area, and looks pretty awesome. Not that looks are everything, but the Nike Santa Cruise Hi women's retro shoes can act, too… which makes these Cruises something special.

Project Overview
Gerding Theater at the Armory
October 2006Location
Gerding Theater at the Armory, Portland, ORTags
In 2006 the Portland Armory was reopened to the public after being transformed into a state-of-the-art performing arts facility. Built in 1891 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Armory was awarded the LEED Platinum designation from the U.S. Green Building Council, the highest sustainable design award in the United States. Throughout the publicly accessible grand lobby are interactive media installations that reveal the history of the building, recognize the donors that made the renovation possible, explore the themes of preservation and sustainability, and publish information about the Portland Center Stage season.

Protist Temporal range: Neoproterozoic – Recent |
Scientific classification | |
Domain: | Eukarya |
Excluded groups
Many others; classification varies |
Protists /ˈproʊtɨst/ are a large and diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms, which belong to the kingdom Protista. There have been attempts to remove the kingdom from the taxonomy but it is still very much in use.[1][2][3]The use of Protictista is also preferred by various organisations and institutions.[4][5][6]Molecular information has been used to redefine this group in modern taxonomy as diverse and often distantly related phyla. The group of protists is now considered to mean diverse phyla that are not closely related through evolution and have different life cycles, trophic levels, modes of locomotion and cellular structures.[7][8] Besides their relatively simple levels of organization, the protists do not have much in common.[9] They are unicellular, or they are multicellular without specialized tissues, and this simple cellular organization distinguishes the protists from other eukaryotes, such as fungi, animals and plants.
The term protista was first used by Ernst Haeckel in 1866. Protists were traditionally subdivided into several groups based on similarities to the "higher" kingdoms: the unicellular "animal-like" protozoa, the "plant-like" protophyta (mostly unicellular algae), and the "fungus-like" slime molds and water molds. These traditional subdivisions, largely based on superficial commonalities, have been replaced by classifications based on phylogenetics (evolutionary relatedness among organisms). However, the older terms are still used as informal names to describe the morphology and ecology of various protists.
Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Many protists, such as the algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems, particularly in the ocean as part of the plankton. Other protists, include pathogenic species such as the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness and the apicomplexan genus Plasmodium which cause malaria.
Historical classifications[edit]
The first division of the protists from other organisms came in the 1830s, when the German biologist Georg August Goldfuss introduced the word protozoa to refer to organisms such as ciliates and corals.[10] This group was expanded in 1845 to include all unicellular animals, such as foraminifera and amoebae. The formal taxonomic category Protoctista was first proposed in the early 1860s by John Hogg, who argued that the protists should include what he saw as primitive unicellular forms of both plants and animals. He defined the Protoctista as a "fourth kingdom of nature", in addition to the then-traditional kingdoms of plants, animals and minerals.[10] The kingdom of minerals was later removed from taxonomy by Ernst Haeckel, leaving plants, animals, and the protists as a "kingdom of primitive forms".[11]
Herbert Copeland resurrected Hogg's label almost a century later, arguing that "Protoctista" literally meant "first established beings", Copeland complained that Haeckel's term protista included anucleated microbes such as bacteria. Copeland's use of the term protoctista did not. In contrast, Copeland's term included nucleated eukaryotes such as diatoms, green algae and fungi.[12] This classification was the basis for Whittaker's later definition of Fungi, Animalia, Plantae and Protista as the four kingdoms of life.[13] The kingdom Protista was later modified to separate prokaryotes into the separate kingdom of Monera, leaving the protists as a group of eukaryotic microorganisms.[14] These five kingdoms remained the accepted classification until the development of molecular phylogenetics in the late 20th century, when it became apparent that neither protists nor monera were single groups of related organisms (they were not monophyletic groups).[15]
Modern classifications[edit]
Although systematists today do not treat protists as a formal taxon, the term protist is currently used under two ways. The most popular contemporary definition is a phylogenetic one that identifies a paraphyletic group: protists are anything that is a eukaryote but is not an animal, (land) plant, or (true) fungus. The other definition describe protists primarily by functional or biological criteria: protists are essentially those eukaryotes that are never multicellular,[16] that either exist as independent cells, or if they occur in colonies, do not show differentiation into tissues.[17] The term protozoa is used to refer to heterotrophic species of protists that do not form filaments. These terms are not used in current taxonomy, and are retained only as convenient ways to refer to these organisms.[citation needed]
The taxonomy of protists is still changing. Newer classifications attempt to present monophyletic groups based on ultrastructure, biochemistry, and genetics. Because the protists as a whole are paraphyletic, such systems often split up or abandon the kingdom, instead treating the protist groups as separate lines of eukaryotes. The recent scheme by Adl et al. (2005)[17] is an example that does not bother with formal ranks (phylum, class, etc.) and instead lists organisms in hierarchical lists. This is intended to make the classification more stable in the long term and easier to update. Some of the main groups of protists, which may be treated as phyla, are listed in the taxobox at right.[18] Many are thought to be monophyletic, though there is still uncertainty. For instance, the excavates are probably not monophyletic and the chromalveolates are probably only monophyletic if the haptophytes and cryptomonads are excluded.[19]
Nutrition can vary according to the type of protist. Many protists are flagellate, for example, and filter feeding can take place where the flagella find prey. Other protists can engulf bacteria and other food particles, by extending their cell membrane around them to form a food vacuole and digest them internally, in a process termed phagocytosis.
Nutritional type | Source of energy | Source of carbon | Examples |
Phototrophs | Sunlight | Organic compounds or carbon fixation | Algae, Dinoflagellates or Euglena |
Organotrophs | Organic compounds | Organic compounds | Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes or Amoebae |
Some protists reproduce sexually (gametes), while others reproduce asexually (binary fission).
Some species, for example Plasmodium falciparum, have extremely complex life cycles that involve multiple forms of the organism, some of which reproduce sexually and others asexually.[20] However, it is unclear how frequently sexual reproduction causes genetic exchange between different strains of Plasmodium in nature and most populations of parasitic protists may be clonal lines that rarely exchange genes with other members of their species.[21]
Eukaryotes emerged in evolution more than 1.5 billion years ago.[22] The earliest eukaryotes were likely protists. Although sexual reproduction is widespread among extant eukaryotes, it seemed unlikely until recently, that sex could be a primordial and fundamental characteristic of eukaryotes. A principal reason for this view was that sex appeared to be lacking in certain pathogenic protists whose ancestors branched off early from the eukaryotic family tree. However, several of these protists are now known to be capable of, or to recently have had the capability for, meiosis and hence sexual reproduction. For example, the common intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia was once considered to be a descendant of a protist lineage that predated the emergence of meiosis and sex. However, G. lamblia was recently found to have a core set of genes that function in meiosis and that are widely present among sexual eukaryotes.[23] These results suggested that G. lamblia is capable of meiosis and thus sexual reproduction. Furthermore, direct evidence for meiotic recombination, indicative of sex, was also found in G. lamblia.[24]
The pathogenic parasitic protists of the genus Leishmania have been shown to be capable of a sexual cycle in the invertebrate vector, likened to the meiosis undertaken in the trypanosomes.[25]
Trichomonas vaginalis, a parasitic protist, is not known to undergo meiosis, but when Malik et al.[26] tested for 29 genes that function in meiosis, they found 27 to be present, including 8 of 9 genes specific to meiosis in model eukaryotes. These findings suggest that T. vaginalis may be capable of meiosis. Since 21 of the 29 meiotic genes were also present in G. lamblia, it appears that most of these meiotic genes were likely present in a common ancestor of T. vaginalis and G. lamblia. These two species are descendants of protist lineages that are highly divergent among eukaryotes, leading Malik et al.[26] to suggest that these meiotic genes were likely present in a common ancestor of all eukaryotes.
Based on a phylogenetic analysis, Dacks and Roger proposed that facultative sex was present in the common ancestor of all eukaryotes.[27]
This view was further supported by a study of amoebae by Lahr et al.[28] Amoeba have generally been regarded as asexual protists. However these authors describe evidence that most amoeboid lineages are anciently sexual, and that the majority of asexual groups likely arose recently and independently.
Protists generally reproduce asexually under favorable environmental conditions, but tend to reproduce sexually under stressful conditions, such as starvation or heat shock.[29] Oxidative stress, which is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species leading to DNA damage, also appears to be an important factor in the induction of sex in protists.[29]
Role as pathogens[edit]
There are some protists that are significant pathogens of animals and others that are pathogens of plants; for example there are five species of the parasitic genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria in humans; and the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes late blight in potatoes.[30] A more thorough understanding of protist biology may allow these diseases to be treated more efficiently.
Recent papers have proposed the use of viruses to treat infections caused by protozoa.[31][32]
Researchers from the Agricultural Research Service are taking advantage of protists as pathogens in an effort to control red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) populations in Argentina. With the help of spore-producing protists such as Kneallhazia solenopsae (this is more widely recognized as belonging to the fungus kingdom now) the red fire ant populations can be reduced by 53-100%.[33] Researchers have also found a way to infect phorid flies with the protist without harming the flies. This is important because the flies act as a vector to infect the red fire ant population with the pathogenic protist.[34]

Strasbourg, 13-01-2006Mr José Manuel BarrosoPresidentEuropean Commission1049 BruxellesBELGIQUE
Mr President,
Article 195 of the Treaty establishing the European Community empowers the European Ombudsman to conduct inquiries on his own initiative in relation to possible instances of maladministration in the activities of Community institutions and bodies. By virtue of this provision, I hereby open an inquiry into the extent to which the Commission has acted to promote the availability of alternative methods of dispute resolution (ADR), and in particular mediation(1), in relation to contracts financed by the Commission.
1. The reasons for the inquiry1.1 The Commission's promotion of the use of ADR in the Member States
In 2002, the Commission presented a Green Paper on alternative dispute resolution in civil and commercial law(2), pointing out that "ADR is a political priority, repeatedly declared by the European Union institutions, whose task is to promote these alternative techniques". In its Green Paper, which aimed at gathering views to be used as input for the general lines of the Commission's policy to be conducted in its role as promoter of legislative and operational initiatives, the Commission pointed out that the European Union is endeavouring to facilitate access to justice and that ADR is an integral part of the policies aimed at improving such access.
In 2004, the Commission made a Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters(3). The objective of the proposal was to ensure better access to justice, namely that individuals and businesses should not be prevented or discouraged from exercising their rights by the incompatibility or complexity of legal and administrative systems in the Member States. More specifically, the proposed Directive aimed at increasing the use of mediation in the EU.
In its proposal for a Directive, the Commission pointed out that the concept of access to justice should include promoting access to adequate dispute resolution processes for individuals and businesses, and not just access to the judicial system. The Commission referred to mediation as a quicker, simpler and more cost-effective way to solve disputes, which makes it possible to take into account a wider range of interests of the parties, provides a greater chance of reaching an agreement which will be voluntarily respected, and preserves an amicable and sustainable relationship between them. The Commission stated that it believes that mediation holds an untapped potential as a dispute resolution method and as a means of providing access to justice for individuals and business.
Furthermore, already in 2003 the Commission launched self-regulatory initiatives in order to develop a European plan for best practice in mediation. Further to the Commission's initiatives, a "European Code of Conduct for Mediators"(4) was developed by a group of stakeholders with the assistance of the services of the Commission and the Code was launched at a conference on self-regulation of mediation held in Brussels in July 2004. Organisations that have decided to commit themselves to asking mediators acting under their auspices to respect the code may inform the Commission services about this decision. Names and contact details of the organisations in question will be added to a list that is available on the Commission's website(5) (for information purposes only).
1.2 Complaints to the Ombudsman concerning contractual disputes
The Ombudsman receives a significant number of complaints every year which are directed against the Commission and concern contractual disputes either between the Commission and its contractors, or between the Commission's contractors and their sub-contractors. In most such cases, the complainants are individuals, SMEs or other small organisations that opt to resort to the Ombudsman instead of bringing the matter before a court, which would prove too costly. In these cases, the Ombudsman, using the powers that his Statute puts at his disposal, carefully examines whether the contractual dispute brought before him entails an instance of maladministration by the Commission, and, if that is the case, tries to suggest suitable remedies. However, the Ombudsman is rarely able to achieve a satisfactory solution in cases where the problem concerns relations between a contractor and a sub-contractor, since he has no jurisdiction to deal with a complaint made by a sub-contractor directly against a contractor(6) and the Commission's response to complaints directed against itself by a sub-contractor is often to point out, correctly, that it has no contractual link to the complainant and to deny responsibility in the matter.
Furthermore, although the possibility to bring court proceedings in respect of breach of contract, or to complain to the Ombudsman against maladministration, constitute essential guarantees for the rights of contractors, neither the courts nor the Ombudsman should normally be the first instance of resort when problems arise in the Commission's contractual relationships. As pointed out by the Commission itself (see point 1.1 above), ADR allows a wider range of interests of the parties to be taken into account than do the procedures available through the judicial system. The Ombudsman takes the view that ADR, and mediation in particular, may also allow for a broader range of constructive approaches to problem-solving in a contractual relationship than are possible within the framework of an inquiry into possible maladministration.
1.3 The Ombudsman's reflections
The Ombudsman welcomes the Commission's actions referred to in part 1.1 above, the aim of which is to enhance access to justice for individuals and businesses, particularly by promoting the use of mediation in the EU. The Ombudsman has consistently expressed the view that access to non-judicial remedies constitutes an important feature of a democratic society. The Ombudsman considers that access to mediation could enhance the efficiency of such remedies.
It is clear that the Commission considers ADR, and in particular mediation, to be something worth promoting and making greater use of. The Ombudsman further notes that the kind of disputes that the Commission has in mind as suitable for resolution through ADR and mediation can also occur in the Commission's own sphere of actions. This is shown not least by the number of complaints received by the Ombudsman, including complaints from SMEs, that concern contractual disputes involving, directly or indirectly, the Commission. The Ombudsman therefore wonders whether ADR, and in particular mediation, could also be used to good effect in relation to contracts financed by the Commission, thereby ensuring greater access to justice for individuals and businesses within the EU in that important area as well.
2. The inquiry
The Ombudsman would therefore very much appreciate it if the Commission could inform him 1) whether it has already considered the potential usefulness of ADR, and in particular mediation, in its own sphere of activity, 2) what the results of any such considerations have been, 3) whether it proposes to become active in that regard, both in its own contractual relations and in relations between its contractors and sub-contractors, and 4) whether it sees any potential problems or drawbacks in this regard.
I kindly request the Commission to send me its opinion by 30 April 2006.
Please note that, in order to facilitate public knowledge of the inquiry and of its eventual outcome, I may decide to publish, on the Ombudsman's website, certain documents pertaining to the inquiry, including this letter and the Commission's reply.
Yours sincerely,
P. Nikiforos DIAMANDOUROS
(1) The Ombudsman considers the following definition of mediation (based on Philippa Rowe, Resolving your Disputes by Mediation: The Academy of Experts: 2004, p. 72) to be useful for purposes of the present inquiry: "a non-binding dispute resolution process in which an independent third party assists the parties to settle their differences but does not advise them of his or her own opinion as to the issues and merits of the dispute".

[Posted 08/15/2013]ISSUE: ISSUE: FDA has required the drug labels and Medication Guides for all fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs be updated to better describe the serious side effect of peripheral neuropathy. This serious nerve damage potentially caused by fluoroquinolones may occur soon after these drugs are taken and may be permanent.
BACKGROUND: The risk of peripheral neuropathy occurs only with fluoroquinolones that are taken by mouth or by injection. Approved fluoroquinolone drugs include levofloxacin (Levaquin), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), ofloxacin (Floxin), and gemifloxacin (Factive). The topical formulations of fluoroquinolones, applied to the ears or eyes, are not known to be associated with this risk.
RECOMMENDATION: Make sure your patients know to contact you if they develop symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Make sure your patients receive the Medication Guide with every prescription. If a patient develops symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, the fluoroquinolone should be stopped, and the patient should be switched to another, non-fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug, unless the benefit of continued treatment with a fluoroquinolone outweighs the risk. Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
For more information visit the FDA website at: Web Siteand Web Site.
Taking ciprofloxacin increases the risk that you will develop tendinitis (swelling of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) or have a tendon rupture (tearing of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) during your treatment or for up to several months afterward. These problems may affect tendons in your shoulder, your hand, the back of your ankle, or in other parts of your body. Tendinitis or tendon rupture may happen to people of any age, but the risk is highest in people over 60 years of age. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant; kidney disease; a joint or tendon disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis (a condition in which the body attacks its own joints, causing pain, swelling, and loss of function); or if you participate in regular physical activity. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking oral or injectable steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexpak), methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Sterapred). If you experience any of the following symptoms of tendinitis, stop taking ciprofloxacin, rest, and call your doctor immediately: pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or difficulty in moving a muscle. If you experience any of the following symptoms of tendon rupture, stop taking ciprofloxacin and get emergency medical treatment: hearing or feeling a snap or pop in a tendon area, bruising after an injury to a tendon area, or inability to move or to bear weight on an affected area.
Taking ciprofloxacin may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis (a disorder of the nervous system that causes muscle weakness) and cause severe difficulty breathing or death. Tell your doctor if you have myasthenia gravis. Your doctor may tell you not to take ciprofloxacin. If you have myasthenia gravis and your doctor tells you that you should take ciprofloxacin, call your doctor immediately if you experience muscle weakness or difficulty breathing during your treatment.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking ciprofloxacin.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with ciprofloxacin. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website ( Web Site) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
Ciprofloxacin is used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat or prevent anthrax (a serious infection that may be spread on purpose as part of a bioterror attack) in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air. Ciprofloxacin extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used only to treat certain types of urinary tract infections. Ciprofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.
Ciprofloxacin comes as a tablet, a suspension (liquid), and an extended-release tablet to take by mouth. The tablet and suspension are usually taken twice a day, in the morning and evening, with or without food. The extended-release tablets are usually taken once a day. Cipro XR brand extended-release tablets may be taken with or without food. Proquin XR brand extended-release tablets should be taken with a main meal of the day, preferably the evening meal. Take ciprofloxacin at around the same time(s) every day. The length of your treatment depends on the type of infection you have. Your doctor will tell you how long to take ciprofloxacin. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take ciprofloxacin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
One brand or type of ciprofloxacin cannot be substituted for another. Be sure that you receive only the brand or type of ciprofloxacin that was prescribed by your doctor. Ask your pharmacist if you have any questions about the type of ciprofloxacin you were given.
Do not take ciprofloxacin with dairy products or calcium-fortified juices alone. However, you may take ciprofloxacin with a meal that includes these foods or drinks.
Swallow the tablets whole; do not split, crush, or chew them. If you cannot swallow tablets whole, tell your doctor.
If you are taking the suspension, shake the bottle very well for 15 seconds before each use to mix the medication evenly. Swallow the correct dose without chewing the granules in the suspension. Close the bottle completely after each use. Do not give the suspension to a patient through a feeding tube.
You should begin feeling better during the first few days of your treatment with ciprofloxacin. If your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse, call your doctor. If you are being treated for a urinary tract infection, call your doctor if you develop fever or back pain during or after your treatment. These symptoms may be signs that your infection is worsening.
Take ciprofloxacin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Do not stop taking ciprofloxacin unless you experience the symptoms of tendinitis or tendon rupture described in the IMPORTANT WARNING section or the symptoms of allergic reaction described in the SIDE EFFECTS section. If you stop taking ciprofloxacin too soon or if you skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
In the event of biological warfare, ciprofloxacin may be used to treat and prevent dangerous illnesses that are deliberately spread such as plague, tularemia, and anthrax of the skin or mouth. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking ciprofloxacin,
Do not drink or eat a lot of caffeine-containing products such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, cola, or chocolate. Ciprofloxacin may increase nervousness, sleeplessness, heart pounding, and anxiety caused by caffeine.
Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking ciprofloxacin.
If you miss a dose of ciprofloxacin, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.Do not take more than two doses of the tablets or suspension or more than one dose of the extended-release tablets in one day.
Ciprofloxacin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, or those mentioned in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, stop taking ciprofloxacin and call your doctor immediately:
Ciprofloxacin may cause problems with bones, joints, and tissues around joints in children. Ciprofloxacin should not normally be given to children younger than 18 years of age unless they have certain serious infections that cannot be treated with other antibiotics or they have been exposed to anthrax in the air. If your doctor prescribes ciprofloxacin for your child, be sure to tell the doctor if your child has or has ever had joint-related problems. Call your doctor if your child develops joint problems such as pain or swelling while taking ciprofloxacin or after treatment with ciprofloxacin. Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of giving ciprofloxacin to your child.
Ciprofloxacin may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store the tablets and extended-release tablets at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Store the suspension in the refrigerator or at room temperature, closed tightly, for up to 14 days. Do not freeze ciprofloxacin suspension. Throw away any suspension that is left over after 14 days and any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to ciprofloxacin.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Your prescription is probably not refillable. If you still have symptoms of infection after you finish taking ciprofloxacin, call your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

City of Philadelphia files suit against former sheriff's office vendors and employees
The City of Philadelphia filed suit last week in Common Pleas Court against a former vendor of the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office and former Sheriff's employee, including former Sheriff John Green, in an action that seeks an monetary damages and payments of money owed to the Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW).
The city claims that as much as $115 million may have been misspent by Green and other in his office.
Today's filing was prompted by an action commenced by the City in October 2012. After an independent forensic audit of the Office of the Sheriff, City Controller Alan Butkovitz released a forensic investigation report prepared by Deloitte Financial Services, LLP in the Fall of 2011.
City Controller Butkovitz urged City Solicitor Shelley R. Smith to initiate civil action to recover from two primary service vendors, Reach Communication Specialists, Inc. ("Reach") and RCS Searchers, Inc. ("RCS"), and others specified in the report for various apparent fiscal improprieties including: excessive fees and overcharges paid to Reach and RCS; unpaid amounts due PGW as a result of gas liabilities for properties sold at sheriff sale and other unpaid pass-through amounts; and improper, unauthorized or unsupported payments.
The Controller's forensic report identified potential improper relationships, conflicts of interest and other alleged wrongdoing by and among former Sheriff John D. Green and other former Sheriff Office employees, as well as James R. Davis, Jr., his companies Reach and RCS, and others related to Davis and his companies. Moreover, the report noted that millions of dollars remained unaccounted for and millions of dollars in payments were unauthorized or unlawful.
With the assistance of attorneys at the law firm of Kaufman Coren & Ress, P.C., a prominent, well-regarded commercial litigation firm, the City initiated a lawsuit by writ of summons in October 2012 against the Reach entities and others. Today, the law firm has filed a complaint in that action on the City's behalf.
In this action, the City seeks to recover for the wrongdoing of the Defendants named therein. The City asserts the following claims, among others: (a) an accounting with respect to the payment and disposition of more than $115 million that flowed from the Sheriff's Office to Defendants Davis and his companies, and a judgment in favor of the City for the return of all ill-gotten gains established by that accounting, including any sums that may have been overcharged to the Sheriff's Office in connection with the advertising of Sheriff sales, and $600,000 unpaid to the Philadelphia Gas Works; (b) treble damages for violations of the Public Official and Employee Ethics Act; (c) treble damages for the submission of false claims in violation of The Philadelphia Code; (d) breach of fiduciary duty and fraud; (e) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and fraud; (f) conversion; (g) unjust enrichment; and (h) civil conspiracy.
In addition to those named above, the Defendants include Sheila R. Davis; Karen Coursey; Crystal Stewart; Darrell Stewart; Tyrone Bynum; Processing Link; Rory Lane Gazaway; Yellow Rose Enterprises; 400 PTM, L.L.C.; and Jackiem Wright.

Cotton towel by Field Crest with just the right amount of absorbancy. Consumed fifteen doughnuts today, Diane. All jelly. I'll be injecting my insulin in four minutes. Diane, slept great last night.

Farm operators in Missouri counties are eligible for low-interest emergency loans from the USDA.
COLUMBIA, MO -- Thirty one Missouri counties are among almost 600 counties across the United States that have been designated by the USDA as primary natural disaster areas because of the drought and heat.
Ron Plain, an Ag Economist at the University of Missouri-Columbia said farmers need to have a plan.
"Low interest rate loans can be very appealing but the farmer needs to have a plan on what they're going to do with that money," Plain said. "Something that will generate saving and income so they can repay the loan. That loan needs to work for you to help cut costs or improve efficiency, otherwise borrowing that money is not going to make you better off."
Plain says buying feed to maintain cattle herds would be a good decision, as cattle prices are likely to be at record highs again this year.
To learn more about low-rate emergency loans, contact your local Farm Service Agency office, or click on the link HERE.

Making aged eggs as good as new
Understanding why older women are more likely to experience embryo loss and increased rates of Down Syndrome in pregnancy is the focus of research by a leading Reproductive Biologist recently appointed to the University of Newcastle.
With couples increasingly delaying having families until their mid-to-late 30s and early 40s, Professor Keith Jones research hopes to unlock the secret behind chromosomal abnormalities in eggs that cause these pregnancy problems in older women.
Professor Jones, the University's new Chair of Human Physiology in the School of Biomedical Sciences, said the rate of chromosomal problems rises dramatically as women age.
"Data shows that around 35 percent of all pregnancies in women over 42 are from embryos containing the wrong number of chromosomes, which leads to conditions such as early spontaneous abortion and Down Syndrome. This compares to just five percent in women 10 years younger," Professor Jones said.
"Human eggs are uniquely poor in dividing their chromosomes equally and so can readily gain or lose chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy. I am researching why eggs can't divide their chromosomes equally. Most cells in the body do this all the time in order for us to grow, and do it successfully without error, so why should eggs be so bad at it?"
Professor Jones will build on his latest research, published in the international journal Nature Cell Biology, which uncovered a significant breakthrough in our understanding of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs.
"I identified a protein called CDH1 that acts to prevent aneuploidy in mouse eggs. This may hold the key to why older women are much more likely to experience aneuploidy, and help us find ways of stopping this occurring as women age. My research will build on the animal model findings in a human setting to try to eliminate aneuploidy in human eggs."
Professor Jones will become co-director of the University's Priority Research Centre for Reproductive Science with leading reproduction experts Laureate Professor John Aitken and Professor Roger Smith. Professors Jones, Aitken and Smith work in collaboration with Hunter Medical Research Institute's (HMRI) Pregnancy and Reproduction Research Program.
HMRI is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Health and the community.

vacation rental description
Just yards from the beach, our airy and light condo at Ocean Village Club P27 gives you all the amenities of a family-oriented condominium complex plus the convenience of beach access in the heart of vacation paradise. You've simply got to come stay! Make yourself right at home in our spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained second-storey flat. You'll find all the entertainment you want -- cable TV, DVD player, VCR, plus the convenience of a washer, dryer, and full kitchen, complete with cookware, dishes, utensils, and not only all the major appliances, but the handy time-savers such as a microwave, coffee maker, blender, icemaker, and toaster. Looking to cook at home this vacation? All you need to bring is groceries! Ocean Village Club P27 contains all the linens and towels you need too. When you stay with us, you'll find crisp clean sheets for the comfy beds and fluffy towels in both full bathrooms. It's so easy -- you can be packed and on your way to the beach vacation of a lifetime without worrying about bringing anything for the house! We think you'll like our soothing, cool-toned décor as well. The living room contains a matching sofa (which converts to a sleeper for 2) and loveseat, grouped around the entertainment center and the large sliding glass door to our balcony. You may find yourself gravitating to this balcony every day, particularly first thing in the morning. Here you can sit with a drink and smell the refreshing sea breeze, hear the faint murmur of the ocean, and plan another great day at the beach! The living area is all open-plan at P27, so just beyond the couches is our dining table. Illuminated by a hanging lamp, the table seats 4 in comfy padded rattan chairs. (Texas Hold 'em, anyone?!) The great lighting also makes this table a nice place to open the laptop and catch up with the gang back home, or spread out your brochures and try to decide between Disney World and Universal for your next adventure. And the cook is never out of the action here at Ocean Village Club P27 -- in fact, you can see right out to the balcony from the kitchen! We're proud of our fully stocked kitchen, with its bright fluorescent lighting and handy layout. Even if you're eating out most meals on this vacation, you'll appreciate all the fridge space for drinks and leftovers. No last-minute trips to the convenience store in your future! If the living area promotes togetherness and keeps things lively, the bedrooms are all about quiet, calm, and privacy. Pamper yourself in our master bedroom, which features a luxurious queen-sized bed, large TV, roomy bureau and closet, his-and-her-lamps and nightstands, and a long, wide window. The en suite master bathroom offers plenty of space too. Fitted with both a bathtub and shower, it has a separate powder room area. The second bedroom contains two twin beds and a long closet for storing all those toys and games. Comfy and snug, it's a soothing place to grab a quick afternoon nap. And a second full bathroom is convenient to this room, so there's no waiting in line in the morning when you're getting ready for a day trip. Speaking of day trips, here at St. Augustine Beach you're close to many exciting attractions, from the historic old downtown to the Alligator Farm, Marineland, championship golf courses, fine dining, and world-class shopping. There's something for everyone here! And, there is free wifi Internet in the Club House. And you don't even have to leave the Ocean Village Club complex to get the party started. With two swimming pools, new tennis courts, and a clubhouse containing a fitness center, library, and guest computer. There's always something to do! Of course, the best playground is the beach itself, which you can reach in minutes via our private walkway. Spectacular sunrises, rolling waves, and pristine sands await you on St. Augustine Beach! Come stay at Ocean Village Club P27. You'll love the comfort & convenience of our flat, enjoy all the amenities of the condo complex, and find adventure and beauty.

A PUBLIC THING is an experimental civic process that opens up public space for conversations on a theme, in this case: FINANCIAL FITNESS. The result: new community connections, deeper personal knowledge, and a collectively-authored print publication that broadcasts the conversation beyond the event.
The first A PUBLIC THING took place on Sat., Nov. 5, 2011 on the theme of Financial Engagement. Fifty people gathered in downtown Minneapolis to talk frankly about money, debt, big banks, credit unions, financial interdependence and the affect of all this on our communities.
From that event we realized the importance of real solutions and resources we can trust. This spring we will convene a new series of APT conversations on FINANCIAL FITNESS with more individuals and organizations from our community. By creating an intentionally open conversation, we'll generate resources for a publication that will help us navigate the complicated financial questions we're facing.
$500 will pay for 2,000 copies of this free newsprint publication.

The AMR style wheel is the perfect addition to any late model Mustang with its bold drift car inspired multi spoke design. This wheel is plated in a three step process that includes copper, nickel, and then chrome for a bright show winning shine. Lighter than other chrome wheels which are steel underneath, these wheels are cast from lightweight aluminum so they won't slow you down.
255/45-18 & 275/40-18 Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z II Tire. Sumitomo's HTR Z II series tire is an ultra high performance summer tire. The aggressive design delivers extraordinary performance in either wet or dry conditions, on and off the track. This HTR Z II Series Tire also features a unique flanged lip on the lower sidewall that helps protect your expensive rims from curb damage while parallel parking.
