If you are currently taking any of these medicines, ask your doctor about making necessary changes either in the treatment for your other condition(s) or in your antiretroviral treatment.
Take special care with Kaletra
Important information
- Kaletra is not a cure for HIV infection or AIDS.
- People taking Kaletra may still develop infections or other illnesses associated with HIV disease and AIDS. It is therefore important that you remain under the supervision of your doctor while taking Kaletra.
- There is still a risk of passing HIV to others when taking Kaletra. Appropriate precautions should be taken to prevent passing the disease through sexual contact (e.g. use of a condom) or contamination with blood.
Tell your doctor if you have/had:
- Haemophilia type A and B as Kaletra might increase the risk of bleeding.
- Diabetes as increased blood sugars have been reported in patients receiving Kaletra.
- A history of liver problems as patients with a history of liver disease, including chronic hepatitis B or C are at increased risk of severe and potentially fatal liver side effects.
Tell your doctor if you experience:
- Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing and severe weakness of the muscles in the legs and arms as these symptoms may indicate raised lactic acid levels.
- Thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision or weight loss as this may indicate raised sugar levels in the blood.
- Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain as large increases in the amount of triglycerides (fats in the blood) have been considered a risk factor for pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and these symptoms may suggest this condition.
- Changes in body shape due to changes in fat distribution. These may include loss of fat from legs, arms and face, increased fat in the abdomen (belly) and other internal organs, breast enlargement and fatty lumps on the back of the neck (?buffalo hump?). The cause and long-term health effects of these conditions are not known at this time.
- In some patients with advanced HIV infection and a history of opportunistic infection, signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started. It is believed that these symptoms are due to an improvement in the body?s immune response, enabling the body to fight infections that may have been present with no obvious symptoms. If you notice any symptoms of infection, please inform your doctor immediately to seek necessary treatment.
- Joint stiffness, aches and pains (especially of the hip, knee and shoulder) and difficulty in movementas some patients taking these medicines may develop a bone disease called osteonecrosis (death of bone tissue caused by loss of blood supply to the bone). The length of combination antiretroviral therapy, corticosteroid use, alcohol consumption, severe immunosuppression (reduction in the activity of the immune system), higher body mass index, among others, may be some of the many risk factors for developing this disease.
- Muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, particularly in combination with these medicines. On rare occasions these muscle disorders have been serious.
- Symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting or sensation of abnormal heartbeats. Kaletra may cause changes in your heart rhythm and the electrical activity of your heart. These changes may be seen on an ECG (electrocardiogram).
Taking other medicines
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the medicines listed below, as special care should then be taken:
- Antibiotics (e.g. rifabutin, rifampicin, clarithromycin);
- Anticancer medicines (e.g. most tyrosine kinases inhibitors such as dasatinib and nilotinib, also vincristine and vinblastine);
- Antidepressants (e.g. trazodone, bupropion);
- Anti-epilepsy medicines (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital);
- Antifungals (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole);
- Erectile dysfunction medicines (e.g. sildenafil and tadalafil);
- Heart medicines including:
- Digoxin;
- Calcium channel antagonists (e.g. felodipine, nifedipine, nicardipine);
- Medicines used to correct heart rhythm (e.g. bepridil, systemic lidocaine, quinidine);
- Medicines used to lower blood cholesterol (e.g. atorvastatin, lovastatin, rosuvastatin or simvastatin);
- Medicines affecting the immune system (e.g. cyclosporin, sirolimus (rapamycin), tacrolimus);
- Medicines used for smoking cessation (e.g. bupropion);
- Pain-relieving medicines (e.g. fentanyl);
- Morphine-like medicines (e.g. methadone);
- Oral contraceptive or using a patch contraceptive to prevent pregnancy (see section below titled Contraceptives);
- Protease inhibitors (e.g. amprenavir, fosamprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, tipranavir);
- Sedatives (e.g. midazolam administered by injection);
- Steroids (e.g. dexamethasone, fluticasone propionate, ethinyl oestradiol);
- Warfarin.
- Medicines that cause a reaction with alcohol (e.g. disulfiram).
Read the list of medicines under ?Do not take Kaletra with any of the following medicines? for information on medicines that you must not take with Kaletra.
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without prescription.
Erectile dysfunction medicines (vardenafil, sildenafil, tadalafil)
- Do not take Kaletra if you are currently taking vardenafil.
- You must not take Kaletra with sildenafil used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (see also Do not take Kaletra section).
- If you take sildenafil or tadalafil and Kaletra together, you may be at risk of side effects such as low blood pressure, passing out, visual changes and penile erection lasting more than 4 hours. If an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, you should get medical help immediately to avoid permanent damage to your penis. Your doctor can explain these symptoms to you.
- If you are currently using an oral contraceptive or using a patch contraceptive to prevent pregnancy, you should use an additional or different type of contraception (e.g. condom) as Kaletra may reduce the effectiveness of oral and patch contraceptives.
- Kaletra does not reduce the risk of passing HIV to others. Appropriate precautions (e.g. use of a condom) should be taken to prevent passing on the disease through sexual contact.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
- Tell you doctor immediately if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or if you are breast-feeding.
- Pregnant or breast-feeding mothers should not take Kaletra unless specifically directed by the doctor.
- It is recommended that HIV-infected women do not breast-feed their infants because there is a possibility that the baby can be infected with HIV through your breast milk.
Driving or using machines
Kaletra has not specifically been tested for its possible effects on the ability to drive a car or operate machines. Do not drive a car or operate machinery if you experience any side effects (e.g. nausea) that impact your ability to do so safely. Instead, contact your doctor.

My first job: Sushil Matey, Director of Marketing, Livpure
TimesJobs.comJul 11, 2018, 09.30 AM
Job experiences teach you many things beyond polishing your skill-sets. These learnings tend to be your guidelines for the coming times in personal and professional life. The '
My first job was
My first job was after I completed my PGDM from IIM, Calcutta; as a Management Trainee at
Things I learnt
When I started working in sales at a per day allowance of a front line sales executive; I learnt 3 most important lessons about work, namely: -
Challenges faced by the retailer in selling your brand
Challenges faced by the front line sales guy
Enablers which facilitate sales and the challenges which hinder sales in the hyper competitive market place
Skills I acquired
The three most critical skills I acquired were:
Marketing and sales
Strategy and execution
Importance of innovation to remain ahead of the curve
My manager's teaching
My manager's teaching was to have clarity in thinking. At all stages in life, clarity in thought process helps one to arrive at the right decision.
My journey so far
I have straddled 18 product categories across white goods, auto, lifestyle products, kitchen appliances; smart IoT based gadgets and B2B e-commerce. Some of the companies I worked with are Godrej – GE Appliances, LML, Masco Home Products (USA), H R Johnson and Schneider Electric. Presently, I am working as Marketing – Director in Livpure and as an Executive Director at Urjakart, a b2b e commerce company.
Turning point in my career
The turning point in my career came when I was entrusted with Head of Sales position in 1998 at Godrej – GE Appliances when I was 34 years old. And the turnover was almost 1000 crores. The biggest challenge I faced here was to retain my team and dealers in light of the heavy onslaught by LG,
My most crucial step/assignment
The most crucial assignment was at Masco Home Products, where as MD, I had to buy land from MIDC and then fight a court battle with the farmers on the legality of the transaction! And the final step was to win that case in the Court of Law.
Where I see myself in years to come
In the coming years I see myself doing some pro bono work in education and skill development for some good NGOs.
My advice to the youth of the country
My advice to the youth of the country would be that success is a long term journey which involves blood and sweat. And one must enjoy the journey at every stage.

Editor's note: We're taking steps to get you ready for every one of Alabama's regular season opponents. Every Friday we'll go through each week of the schedule, starting with the season-opener against West Virginia and closing with the finale against Auburn.
Alabama vs. West Virginia, Aug. 30 in Atlanta, 3:30 p.m. (ABC/ESPN2)
The rundown
2013 overall record: 4-8
2013 Big 12 record: 2-7, eighth in the Big 12
Record all time against Alabama: N/A
Last meeting: N/A
Starters returning
Offense: 7; Defense: 7; Kicker/punter: 2
Top returners
WR Mario Alford, CB Travis Bell, S Karl Joseph, RB Wendell Smallwood, QB Clint Trickett, CB Daryl Worley
Key losses
WR Ronald Carswell, S Darwin Cook, C Pat Eger, RT Curt Feigt, RB Charles Sims
2013 statistical leaders (*-returners)
Rushing: Sims (1,095 yards)
Passing: Trickett* (1,605 yards, 7 TD, 7 INT)
Receiving: Daikiel Shorts (495 yards)
Tackles: Nick Kwiatkoski* (86)
Sacks: Will Clarke (6)
Interceptions: Cook (4)
What they're saying
"I'm excited to play against Alabama. That'll be fun, especially for a running back. I just can't wait to go against one of the top defenses in college football. It'll be exciting to just go out there and play our ass off." -- Mountaineers running back Dustin Garrison, to reporters this spring.
Three things to watch
1. Quarterback battle: Trickett was listed as the Mountaineers' starting quarterback in the post-spring depth chart. (Alabama fans, don't be jealous of such things.) But Trickett, who some will remember from his time at Florida State, has Paul Millard and transfer Skyler Howard nipping at his heels. Though he'll likely start under center for West Virginia in Atlanta, Alabama's defense should be prepared for all options, notably Howard, who can extend plays and scramble for yards, as evidenced by his 343 yards and five touchdowns rushing in junior college last season.
2. New-look defense: High-scoring shootouts have been the M.O. for West Virginia in years past. But after finishing next to last in the league in scoring defense (33.3 points per game), coordinator Keith Patterson left for Arizona State. In response, Dana Holgorsen lifted safeties coach Tony Gibson into the vacant position and brought on former Penn State assistant Tom Bradley. And judging by the Mountaineers' spring, their effect has been noticeable. Worley has grabbed headlines with his play and the secondary as a whole has showed promise. But the real test will come to the front seven in Atlanta. Three of four starters return at linebacker, but only one starter returns on the defensive line, which doesn't bode well against a downhill running team like the Tide.
3. Ground game: West Virginia's running game could be among the deepest and most versatile in the Big 12 next season. Losing Sims, an All-Big 12 back, was indeed a setback, but considering the depth at the position, it shouldn't be a problem. The team's post-spring depth chart is a testament to that, listing five players at running back as opposed to the usual two at every other position. Former No. 1 junior college running back Dreamius Smith is the favorite to start. He's joined in the backfield by Smallwood, who was a steady presence as a freshman last season; Rushel Shell, a former blue-chip recruit who transferred from Pittsburgh; Garrison, who was the team's leading rusher in 2011; and Andrew Buie, who led the team in rushing in 2012 but spent last season away from the team.

Evernote for class notesI am a law school student and I use Evernote (Mac) to take class notes. I would like to use it to make outlines for class as well. However, I am running into a problem.

Does that make sense? Every time I try to use a numbered list and I hit [enter] for the next level and then [tab] to go to the for a sub-level, the numbers start over.

Scottish Juniors join the GB National Team Programme
Scottish juniors to join the GB National Team juniors programme
After some excellent performances at the GB Taekwondo Academy two more Scottish National team Elite Squad members, Asia Bailey and Kristian Kinnon (Central TKD Academy, Stirlingshire) have been invited to join the GB National Team high performance programme in Manchester. This excellent outcome brings the number of Scottish players who are currently actively involved in the GB squad to four. "Another great development for Scottish TKD and our high performance programme. It is certainly a confidence boost for us to see more of our Scottish players being recognised for their abilities and potential by the coaches who work with the British Olympic team" commented Scotland's National Performance Coach Master Nikos Jakubiak.
He continued: "There is lots of potential amongst the kids we work with in our programme from all around Scotland and we will certainly be seeing more of them advancing to the top of our sport. Asia and Kristian are two shining examples of the calibre of junior players Scotland has available. Kristian is already known to many TKD fans in Scotland as he was the British Cadets Champion in 2011. This is his first year as a junior player and he will be concentrating on upping his game to conquer the junior division as well, both domestically and internationally. Asia only started competitive sport TKD since the start of BTCB Scotland's High Performance Programme in early 2011 and her progress has been nothing less than spectacular. Her dedication to training and commitment to better her skills is second to none. More importantly though with her performances in recent competitions and test matches she has proven she has what it takes to reach the very top".
With the London Olympics fast approaching this is a great time for any players to join the GB programme. For Asia and Kristian, and any other juniors from Scotland who can make the cut, the road ahead will be challenging and tough but at the same time full of excitement as this can be the road that leads to Rio and the 2016 Olympics!
This is a good opportunity to highlight once more that we consider the achievements of our players a collective effort that starts with the players themselves, their club coaches, and then theScottish National Team and GB National Team coaches. This progress we have achieved so far goes to show that our National Team coaches are putting Scotland's players' interests first.
We know that there are many gifted young players around Scotland whose ambition may be to become a World or an Olympic Champion. BTCB Scotland's High Performance Programme has a clear pathway that can help them reach that destination. We welcome anyone in Scotland who wishes to join. For more information on our High Performance Programme and training dates venues go to www.taekwondoscotland.org and visit our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/taekwondoscotland .

Christine Schutt is today's guest. She's the award-winning author of several books. Her first novel, Florida, was a National Book Award finalist, and her second novel, All Souls, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her latest novel, Prosperous Friends, is now available from Grove Press.
Sam Lipsyte raves
"Prosperous Friends is masterful, a comic-tragic astonishment. Christine Schutt continues to write some of the most original and rewarding prose I've ever read."
And Gary Lutz says
"It is no longer a secret that Christine Schutt is the finest writer among us, and Prosperous Friends is her finest work yet. There isn't a corner in any of her sentences left ungraced by her lyrical genius, her heart-fathoming wisdom. A few pages in, you'll know you have a classic in your hands."

In Thursday's trading, chatter on the street centers around financials, whether it's Vikram Pandit's Capitol hill testimony, Goldman Sachs hitting a one month high or JPMorgan grabbing the top spot for investment banking fees. The market was also helped by unexpectedly strong retail sales, as stocks were up marginally during intraday trading.
The Fast Money gang has the stories you need to know in order to make the right trades in this market.
Fast Money Strategy Session
Although the stock has been "dead money" over the past six months, Goldman Sachs reached a 1-month high in Thursday's trading, so how can you position yourself with this stock today? Guy Adami points out the "huge" resistance level for the stock at $160 brought out short sellers on Wall Street, but now that the stock has broken through that technical level, his strategy is to "hold on and hope for the ride higher."
As far as options, Jon Najarian is seeing double normal activity in Goldman, mostly bullish in nature, which he sees as a result of the successful Bank of America warrant auction. He thinks that the BAC auction gives an "all clear" signal that a rebound in financials is on the way.
"You got to like Goldman fundamentally," adds Zach Karabell, but he warns that the stock may be a little less easy to decipher. Citigroup, on the other hand, serves to benefit more from a more stable environment, and he suggests that you could see as much as a 20% pop for the stock, even in a flat market. He sees the floor for Citi stock in the range of $3.20 or $3.18 if the market reacts negatively to the government unloading its stake in the company. However, Patty Edwards says that Goldman Sachs is the only stock she'd want to buy in the space, whereas Citigroup is just too much of a gamble, she says.
Topping The Tape: Retail
It appears that the February snowstorms couldn't keep determined consumers from hitting the stores, as unexpectedly strong retail numbers hit this street Thursday. In the wake of the numbers, names like Gap and Target are making gains while Abercrombie and Fitch is seeing its stock move up double digits.
Retail expert Patty Edwards is a little skeptical of the big moves, pointing out that even with store growth, retailers are still hovering at 2006 sales levels. She suggests instead of following these big swings to focus on stocks that have solid operators, which she doesn't see in Abercrombie. Guy Adami agrees that ANF's moves "defy logic" and doesn't think that the comps were good enough to warrant such big moves. Short interest is high in the stock, the traders point out.
Retail Chart of the Day
Following the strength in retailers, the street has seen the three major retail ETFs - Retail Holders , S&P Retail Index and the Consumer Discretionary SPDR - hit 52-week highs, but is retail at large defying the consumer here?
Instead of being in general retail, Zach Karabell suggests being in the specialty retail space, pointing out the Specialty Retail ETF, which has exposure to online marketplaces and the high end consumer. However, he doesn't think that retail as a whole is an "overly interesting, exciting or profitable place to be in."
Big Money: Kohls
One retailer who missed its sales expectation was Kohls, but the store is still attracting trading action and seems to have swung a big block trade that represents about 10% of the stock's average daily volumes. Despite their sales miss, Jon Najarian likes the company on an operations level and thinks the Wisconsin-based company may have been one of the biggest victims of the February storms.
Take Your Position: Jobs Report
With the jobs report out Friday, what should the street be expecting to see from these numbers? "I don't think it's going to be a good jobs report," says Guy Adami, who sees no clear sign of recovery in the jobs market as companies have trimmed operations and learned to function with smaller staffs. "I think we're going to be around this 10% level for a long time," he says.
Productivity is up because wages were lower than expected, adds Zach Karabell, who interprets this as companies hiring to levels that are not comparable to wage expectations required to have an effect on retail. He urges caution when looking at jobs numbers over the next year.
Options Action in Steel
Jon Najarian points out interesting options activity surrounding AK Steel, which he says is "eerily similar" to the chart pattern seen in Millipore and SII , which implies that a possible takeover bid is on the horizon.
Call The Close
Jon Najarian: I'm buying and I like Rambus into the close.
Zach Karabell: I'm a buyer for strong names.
Patty Edwards: I don't like the market, but I like individual stocks, just like in retail. Pick the best operators, like Nordstrom's.

With her voluminous, spun-silk coat and serene, translucent eyes you can almost imagine the Persian cat travelling amid rare spices and jewels on the caravan route from Persia to Iran. Although the exact origins of this truly ancient breed will never truly be known, one thing is for sure: Persian cats remain one of the great treasures of the feline world.
Royal Canin Persian Adult includes premium omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and a unique complex of nutrients to support the skin's 'barrier' role and maintain the health and beauty of the Persian cat's luxuriant coat. The formula also includes a blend of fibres to help move hair through the digestive system and thus limit the formation of hairballs. And the custom-designed 'Almond 11' kibble is made specifically with the Persian's jaw in mind, to enable easy grasping and chewing.

| 11.5°C Belfast
Thousands of white farmers have blocked traffic on some major roads in South Africa in what they call a Black Monday protest against the high rate of murders of farmers.
Convoys of hundreds of slow-moving trucks and cars brought traffic to a crawl on highways leading from farming areas to Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg, and white farmers and their supporters wore black in memory of farmers killed on their properties.
The protests have been peaceful and police have accompanied the demonstrators.
The protests are backed by AfriForum, a lobby group that promotes the rights of South Africa's white minority, especially the Afrikaner population.
AfriForum claims 70 white farmers have been murdered in 341 attacks this year.
The rate of murders of white farmers is much higher than South Africa's general murder rate, said Ian Cameron, AfriForum's head of community safety, speaking at the Afrikaners' Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria where hundreds of protesters gathered.
"A farmer has 4.5 times more chance of being murdered in South Africa than an average South African," said Mr Cameron, according to the African News Agency.
"That means a farmer is three times more likely to be murdered in South Africa than a police officer in this country. So farmers have by far the most dangerous job of all people in this country, at the moment. We cannot allow this to continue the way it is."
The protest has been criticised by the Black First Land First group which claimed in a series of tweets that white farmers are perpetrating violence against black people.

Posts for tag: root canal treatment
Root canal therapy is the unsung "hero" of dentistry. Although often falsely maligned as an unpleasant experience, millions of decayed teeth have been saved thanks to this routine treatment.
But although root canal therapy can save your tooth, we can't guarantee it won't be affected by another infection. There are other factors to consider how long a treated tooth will remain healthy.
Root canal therapy stops and limits the damage from tooth decay that has infected the inner pulp and root canals. A dentist or endodontist (a root canal specialist) drills into the tooth to gain access to the pulp. They remove the diseased pulp tissue and then fill the empty pulp chamber and root canals with a specialized filling called gutta percha. The tooth is then sealed and later crowned to protect it against future fracture or infection.
The probability of that occurring may depend on when a dentist performs the root canal in the disease progression—and the earlier the better. If decay has already infected the underlying bone, the tooth's long-term prognosis even with root canal therapy could be dim. That's why you should see a dentist as soon as possible for any tooth pain, even if it goes away.
The type of tooth could impact long-term health. Teeth with single roots are usually easier to treat. But those with multiple roots and an intricate root canal network can be more difficult to treat, and require specialized equipment and techniques.
Age can also impact root canal therapy longevity. The older a root canal-treated tooth is, the more brittle and susceptible to fracture it can become, which can pose complications. That's why we typically place crowns on treated teeth to protect them from both future infection and undue stress created while biting and chewing.
To help mitigate these possible factors, you should see your dentist regularly for checkups and at the first sign of pain or other abnormalities for the earliest treatment possible. And for more complex tooth issues, your dentist may refer you to an endodontist to perform your root canal. With early intervention and attentive care, your root canaled tooth could enjoy many years of life.
If you would like more information on root canal treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Root Canal Treatment: How Long Will It Last?"
Every year U.S. dentists perform around 25 million root canal treatments and save countless teeth from the ravages of decay. But if you search "root canal" on the Internet, you might encounter an unsettling charge against this tooth-saving treatment—that it causes cancer.
Root canal treatments are routinely used when tooth decay has infected the pulp, the innermost layer of a tooth. During the procedure, we access the pulp and remove all the infected tissue. We then fill the empty pulp and root canals, seal the access hole and later crown the tooth to prevent further infection. Without this intervention, the decay can continue to advance toward the roots and supporting bone, putting the tooth in imminent danger of loss.
So, is there any credibility to this claim that root canal treatments cause cancer? In a word, no: there's no evidence of any connection between root canal treatments and cancer—or any other disease for that matter. On the contrary: root canals stop disease.
As with other types of urban legends and internet hype, the root canal-cancer connection may have arisen from another discredited idea from the early 20th Century. A dentist named Weston Price promoted the notion that leaving a "dead" organ in the body led to health problems. From his perspective, a root canaled tooth with its removed pulp tissue fit this criterion.
In the mid-1950s, dentistry thoroughly examined Dr. Weston's theory pertaining to treatments like root canals. The Journal of the American Dental Association devoted an entire issue to it and found after rigorous scientific inquiry that the theory had no validity in this regard. Another study in 2013 confirmed those findings. In fact, the later study instead found that patients who underwent a root canal treatment had a 45 percent reduction in oral cancer risk.
Given the freewheeling nature of the Internet, it's best to speak with a dental professional about your oral health before trusting a post or article you've found online. Not only are they more informed than an unverified online source, they would certainly not knowingly subject you to a procedure to save a tooth at the expense of your health.
If you would like more information on root canal treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Root Canal Safety."
As the host of America's Funniest Home Videos on ABC TV, Alfonso Ribeiro has witnessed plenty of unintentional physical comedy…or, as he puts it in an interview with Dear Doctor–Dentistry & Oral Health magazine, "When people do stuff and you're like, 'Dude, you just hurt yourself for no reason!'" So when he had his own dental dilemma, Alfonso was determined not to let it turn onto an "epic fail."
The television personality was in his thirties when a painful tooth infection flared up. Instead of ignoring the problem, he took care of it by visiting his dentist, who recommended a root canal procedure. "It's not like you wake up and go, 'Yay, I'm going to have my root canal today!'" he joked. "But once it's done, you couldn't be happier because the pain is gone and you're just smiling because you're no longer in pain!"
Alfonso's experience echoes that of many other people. The root canal procedure is designed to save an infected tooth that otherwise would probably be lost. The infection may start when harmful bacteria from the mouth create a small hole (called a cavity) in the tooth's surface. If left untreated, the decay bacteria continue to eat away at the tooth's structure. Eventually, they can reach the soft pulp tissue, which extends through branching spaces deep inside the tooth called root canals.
Once infection gets a foothold there, it's time for root canal treatment! In this procedure, the area is first numbed; next, a small hole is made in the tooth to give access to the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. The diseased tissue is then carefully removed with tiny instruments, and the canals are disinfected to prevent bacteria from spreading. Finally, the tooth is sealed up to prevent re-infection. Following treatment, a crown (cap) is usually required to restore the tooth's full function and appearance.
Root canal treatment sometimes gets a bad rap from people who are unfamiliar with it, or have come across misinformation on the internet. The truth is, a root canal doesn't cause pain: It relieves pain! The alternatives—having the tooth pulled or leaving the infection untreated—are often much worse.
Having a tooth extracted and replaced can be costly and time consuming…yet a missing tooth that isn't replaced can cause problems for your oral health, nutrition and self-esteem. And an untreated infection doesn't just go away on its own—it continues to smolder in your body, potentially causing serious problems. So if you need a root canal, don't delay!
If you would like additional information on root canal treatment, please contact us or schedule a consultation. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "A Step-By-Step Guide to Root Canal Treatment" and "Root Canal Treatment: What You Need to Know."

Leftist Syriza party poised for victory in Greek election
Ken Hanly
Athens - In an attempt to reassure the EU public and officials that a Syriza victory is not a threat to the EU, leader Alex Tsipras, has published opinion pieces in both the FInancial Times and earlier in a German newspaper, Handelsblatt.
Op-Ed: As Syriza approaches power it turns to the right
Ken Hanly
Athens - In order to gain enough votes to win elections leftist parties often jettison their more radical positions in order to attract voters more to the middle of the political spectrum. This is clearly a strategy that Syriza is pursuing.

The new Barry Goralnick Spencer table for Vanguard Furniture was nominated for the prestigious IDA award (Innovation in Design) for 2016. It is named after Spencer Tracy (all the pieces in our Vanguard collection are named after movie stars). The 48″ diameter Spencer Table is the perfect size to complement larger sofas and sectionals. All the interest occurs under the glass so you only need minimal, if any, objects on the top. You're not always moving things around to set up to entertain. It makes dusting easy.
Vanguard Furniture, Spencer Cocktail Table, Barry Goralnick, High Point
There are two unexpected inspirations for this table. A vintage holder of nuts and bolts from an old hardware shop served as an inspiration (pictured below). The idea of this form transformed into the concept of a table. The finishing touch is the hardware screw-head detail on the top of the "fins", which evokes the popular Cartier Love Bracelet. This is the kind of elegant jewelry detail that ties this table into the rest of the collection.
The Spencer is available in every Vanguard wood finish and any Benjamin Moore paint color. The metal accents are satin brass as pictured.

The Finished Room is proud to present this new vendor to our clients. Resource Decor brings together renowned designer brands that include furnishings, lighting, art, rugs and accessories. By forging creative collaborations with leading designers, every piece of furniture, lighting arrangement and accessory is accompanied by rich narratives and creative stories. The stable of designers includes, Kelly Hoppen, Thomas Bina, Tracey Boyd, Andrew Martin, Nelcote Studio, Coup & Co., Maison 55 and Beauhome.
"Southern California Style"
Renowned designer Michael Berman has completed residential interior projects from New York to Los Angeles for an enviable client list made up of the business and entertainment worlds' elite and hospitality design for The Fairmont Hotel Group. Berman's products and interiors reflect his interest in history, art, architecture and nature. Michael's work strikes an uncommon balance between timeless style and an of-the-moment relevance.
Inspired by comfort, American Modernism and simplicity of form, his design resonates with Design Industry colleagues. Berman is Founder and Principal creative visionary behind Michael Berman Limited; a multi-faceted design firm focusing on Interior, Furniture, Textile and Product Design for the Design Industry. Bronze Studio, Berman's Los Angeles based home furnishings showroom carries his complete line of home furnishings, vintage finds and accessories. Berman's work has appeared in most industry shelter magazines including Elle Décor, Traditional Home and Architectural Digest.
Califolio, Michael's collection for Theodore Alexander includes clean lines, modern shapes, softly tailored upholstery and well scaled occasional pieces accompanied by unique finishes and a color palette which communicates the light airy style of southern California living. The combination of finishes in the collection is much like its inspiration, a perfect mix of glamour and simplicity. "To dress the collection we've selected lush textiles that cool the skin, warm the heart and dazzle the eyes," adds Berman. "Each piece is designed to be used individually or in a suite of furnishings. There is a thread that runs through this collection that incorporates my modernist influence and credo: restraint, quiet luxury and effortless comfort."

Emanuel Steps Up His Apology
Washington Wire reported earlier today that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel privately apologized last week to the Special Olympics after the Journal reported that he used the word "retarded" in a derogatory manner.
But advocates for people with disabilities didn't think that apology, coming in a phone call to Special Olympics head Tim Shriver, was enough.
Now, Emanuel is taking his contrition one step farther – hosting a delegation of advocates, including two people with mental disabilities, at the White House.
A statement from the Special Olympics issued late Tuesday described the session as a "face-to-face discussion with Rahm Emanuel about the suffering and pain of people with intellectual disabilities that is perpetuated by the use of the terms 'retard' and 'retarded' as well as the damage that can be done by the casual use of the R-word – even if it is not directed toward people with intellectual disabilities."

| 13.1°C Belfast
A child's car seat could be the key to tracking down the killers of a police officer shot dead in a botched robbery in the Republic.
Details of the crucial clue emerged as investigators made a renewed appeal for information over the gang's getaway car, found burnt out in Northern Ireland.
Garda Adrian Donohoe was shot dead during a robbery at the Lordship Credit Union outside Dundalk on January 25.
The hunt for his killers is focused on a dark blue Volkswagen Passat car found in south Armagh shortly after the heist. Police believe the gang travelled from Dundalk across the border to Fews Forest outside Newtownhamilton.
Detectives said a red and black mallet-style hammer, normally used in the motor trade, was recovered at the scene. They also said a green and black Cosatto child car seat was in the car when it was stolen. But detectives said it was missing when the car was found. Officers from the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch are assisting An Garda Siochana.
PSNI detectives have made a specific appeal for information on the movements of the Passat in and around Newtownhamilton on the night of January 25.
They are particularly focused on sightings around Chalybeate Road junction with Cortamlet Road; Cortamlet Road junction with Blaney Road; Keady Road junction with Chalybeate Road, and Tullygeasy Road junction with Keady Road.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact detectives in PSNI on 0845 600 8000 or anonymously on 0800 555 111. In the Republic, ring gardai on 042 9388470 or the confidential number on 1800 666 111.
Det Adrian Donohoe was gunned down during a robbery at a credit union in Dundalk, Co Louth, on January 25. The gang shot Mr Donohoe then held his colleague, Detective Garda Joe Ryan, at gunpoint while they robbed the Lordship Credit Union. They stole €4,000 (£3,600) in cash.

Koenigsegg sent off its Agera supercar with a bang last year at the Geneva Auto Show with the Agera One of 1. Not to be confused with the ultra-limited One:1 track special, the One of 1 is the first of three Agera "Final" cars, fully customized with unique aero and interior appointments. Now, after just 50 miles driven, it's being offered for sale.
The Agera One of 1 was listed recently by Semco Exclusive Cars in Munich, Germany. The car is based off an Agera One:1, which means a 1341 horsepower from its twin-turbo V8 and a dry weight of just 2832 pounds.
But unlike the One:1, the One of 1 (we know, this naming scheme isn't great) features a compartment in the front hatch area that can be used for storing the removable glass roof piece. It also features less aggressive aerodynamics, and no rear vertical fin.
Semco Cars currently lists the car for €6,545,000, or just over $7.7 million at current exchange rates. Not a small chunk of change, but considering this is a fully bespoke Koenigsegg, it might just be worth the premium.

|"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai
Earthquakes and tsunamis of a scale similar to the disasters that devastated Lisbon back in 1755, struck the northern islands of Japan.
The total human losses are as yet uncounted. Entire cities disappeared, infrastructures broke down inland and along the coastline, communications are disrupted, the energy lifeline affected by problems with nuclear plants. A nightmare to all those affected.
The videos on the internet and television, show an orderly population, backed by officials obviously drilled to cope with such emergencies, doing what they were expected to do. Later, they appear restrained in their grief and sure of their capacity to recover. Lessons of personal dignity and national resilience, displayed for all to see.
A thought to friends in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nagasaki, across half of the planet, with the heartfelt hope that they, their families and their homes, are all well, safe and sound. Tomorrow must be a better day.

8 Reasons Engineers Should Spend Their Free Time In The Machine Shop
Engineers are people who solve problems and focus on making things work more efficiently and effectively. Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems. For our young engineers, we have compiled the top 8 reasons why they should spend extra time in machine shops
8. Machinists will often need to alter your part to machine some of the features. Work through this together and you'll both be happier.
7. When you first bring your drawing to the machine shop, it's common to scribble notes and explain what's "not that critical." This is a valuable exercise, but take the time to alter the drawing in your design software before giving it back to the machine shop.
6. For many parts, the machining costs are 5X or 10X the cost of the raw materials. Planning with a machinist can reduce the material costs.
5. When you send your part to be machined, you will (hopefully) get the exact part you drew. Great, except that your part needed 4 unique tooling setups and 15 different bits. Walk through this process with the machinist.
4. Often, adjusting relatively unimportant features of your part will make it half as difficult to machine.
3. You can draw a lot of things in Pro/E and SolidWorks that you can't make in the real world.
2. Machinists know more about machining parts than you do. Say it with me … Machinists know more about machining parts than you do.
1. Learn from Machinists. They have made thousands of parts and seen amazing design solutions. They always have creative input.
