text:
An elegant debut novel about a once grand Philadelphia mansion called Calpurnia; its owner, a painter and pa-trician matriarch who has recently died under mysterious circumstances; and the woman over-seeing the disposal of the estate, who unravels the secrets and intrigues hidden away in the hundred-year-old house.Elizabeth Oliver arrives at Calpurnia to manage the sale but soon finds herself piecing together the mysterious life of Maribel Archibald Davies and her heirs: the prodigal, tennis-playing heir apparent; the fashionable niece, designated as the estate s executor; the loyal neighbor and keeper of the Maribel Davies flame; Davies s heartbroken longtime lover; and the famous portraitist with whom Davies had an affair-become-scandal. Each of them makes one last visit to Calpurnia, and with each arrival, Elizabeth is drawn further into the family s intrigues and mysteries, and closer to a revelation of its secrets. Combining a contemporary sensibility with a rich, timeless gift for storytelling, Anne Scott has given us a classic, uniquely imagined tale of suspense.

In reply to:
Re: John RENOUF/ElizabethGATEWOOD, Ohio 1828
Charlotte Hamilton 7/11/01
Hi again Charlotte,
Am I correct your Nicolas was bapt in St Martins in 1801.What names , dates, parishes do you have for sibs of Nicolas were they all St M ? Was Thomas who m Judith Marquand also bapt / m /buried in St Martins as well?
Were Rachel Roberts parents also from St Martins? If so that suggests your inf. is right and mine wrong.
I am confident that my Nicolas was bapt Town Church in 1803 [as this came direct from parish record ]but I'm now NOT confident of the unproven marriageto Rachel Robertat St Martins [ this could well have been wrongly attributed to my Nicolas by my cousin].
There were certainly a large number of people with the same name who were undoubtedly related at some point.
I've looked through all my Renouf's and only found one in St Martins [ other than the questionable Nicolas] He was Henri b 29 4 1798 St Andrews who died 27 3 1842 and was a carpenter living at Les Hubits. He married Margeret Martin 8 6 1818 at St Andrews. [I got this from Ms Gallienne] He was youngest brother of my ggggf Nicolas and s o another Thomas.!
I think Ms Gallienne will have done her homework and got your Nicolas right.
I was hopeful I had found the missing descendents of Thomas and Marie Machon but it seems I had a weak link; perhaps we can find the link further back. Wonder about your Thomas and Judith Marquand parents?
regards Jacky

This may be the most "Ashley Cole" story ever. The quotable England and Chelsea leftback should be facing some disciplinary action after tweeting the following about the English Football Association in response to them discrediting his testimony in John Terry's racism trial.
"Hahahahaa, well done #fa I lied did I, #BUNCHOFTWATS."
The English FA released a written justification for their suspension of John Terry, describing his defense for calling Anton Ferdinand a "fucking black cunt" as "improbable, implausible and contrived." The report suggests Ashley Cole amended his testimony to fit John Terry's narrative. Man U defender Rio Ferdinand, Anton's brother, was fined $73,000 this summer for endorsing a tweet referring to Cole as "Choc Ice," a slang term for a black person who acts like a white person.

David Rudisha, the Kenyan athlete who earlier in the week ruled out besting his own world record in the 800 metres at the London Games, set a new world record in the final of the event on Thursday evening.
Rudisha, whose previous record stood at one minute 41.01 seconds, clocked one minute 40.91 to take the gold medal, delighting the London crowd who had waiting for more than a week so see one of the major athletics records fall.
Nijel Amos of Botswana claimed silver with one minute 41.73, despite being only 18-years-old. The bronze medal went to Rudisha's countryman Timothy Kitum, who ran a personal-best of one minute 42.52.
Britain's Andrew Osagie finished last, but still managed a personal best time of one minute 43.77.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Rudisha said: "Wow! I'm very happy. This is the moment I have been waiting for for a very long time. To come here and to break the world record is something unbelievable.
"I was well-prepared and I had no doubt about winning. Today the weather was beautiful and I decided just to go for it.
"Lord Coe is a very good friend of mine and earlier, in February, he took me round this stadium. That was good for me. I wanted to come here and make him proud."
Speaking to Reuters on Monday, the 23-year-old said: "The track is fast. It looks good."
"In this championship I don't look at the record. It is a medal that I want. Once I get the medal, toward the end of the season I can think about the record."

SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Rollins, Fearless Forecaster, Makes Call on N.B.A. Finals, Too
By WILLIAM C. RHODEN
Published: May 31, 2011
When it comes to baseball, Jimmy Rollins has been exceptionally accurate in the forecasting business. He predicted that the Phillies would win 100 games in 2008; they won 103 and captured the World Series. In 2009, he predicted that the Phillies would meet the Yankees in the World Series; they did. (He also said that Philadelphia would win; well, can't win 'em all.)
Now Rollins has turned his eye to the N.B.A. finals, although he admits that he's torn. Dallas faces Miami in what should be a compelling series beginning Tuesday. Rollins is partial to Dallas because he and Mavericks guard Jason Kidd are from the Bay area -- Rollins was born in Oakland, Kidd in San Francisco. He also likes Dallas because he thinks that Kidd, a veteran of 17 N.B.A. seasons, and Dirk Nowitzki, a veteran of 13, have paid their dues and deserve a championship ring.
As much as professional athletes bravely talk about not allowing their careers to be shaped or defined by championships, their careers are in fact so shaped and defined. Rollins won the World Series in 2008. The hardware makes a difference.
''It's weird, but it's a sort of validation of everything that you've done,'' he said Sunday after Philadelphia completed a three-game series with the Mets at Citi Field. ''All the hard work you've put into it, all the sacrifices, everything -- family time, vacation time, holidays you don't get -- when you win a championship, it's all worth it.''
If a professional athlete does not win a championship? ''It's like the dream that you never finish,'' he said.
Kidd and Nowitzki have had outstanding careers, but if they retire without winning a championship, they will always be second-guessing themselves. Rollins, now in his 12th season, said he did until he finally won.
''You start thinking, Maybe I just could have pushed a little bit harder or said this or done that,'' he said.
He noted that Kidd had played in two N.B.A. finals.
''You still ask yourself,'' Rollins said, '' 'What could I have done to help us win? I wanted to say something but I didn't want to rock the boat. Maybe I should have said something.'
''When you finally win, all the doubts are pushed out. It's like your career is started over at that point, because now you are playing as a champion forever, as opposed to the guy who's always chasing the dream.''
But there is a part of Rollins that wants to see LeBron James win his first N.B.A. title. Rollins didn't like the way James made his public announcement in July that he was leaving Cleveland, but he respected the boldness of the move, effectively putting the world on notice that it was championship or bust.
James became a target of criticism the way Rollins had in 2007, when he predicted that the Phillies, not the Mets, were the team to beat in the National League East. Rollins was proved right. Philadelphia surged into first place down the stretch as the Mets collapsed.
''When you put yourself out there, you put yourself at risk,'' Rollins said. ''But it's a great place to be. You can build a legacy off something like that.
''Everybody was waiting for LeBron to fail. Miami started off slow and everybody was like, 'See? I told you it wouldn't work.' Everybody wants you to fail as much as they want you to succeed.''
Rollins said his risk-taking ultimately had a positive effect on his teammates, although in the beginning, several were angry for his putting them on the spot.
''They didn't know what to do; they never had to go out there and perform under that pressure,'' Rollins said. ''It's not only what you said, but it's that you put a lot of pressure on everybody else.''
That was the point: to force everyone on the team to perform to his potential and embrace winning.
''Isn't this what we're supposed to do?'' Rollins said. ''Because I said we're going to win, I put more pressure on us to win? We're paid to win. We play to win every single day. In spring training, this is what we talk about. It was having the courage to believe that you could actually do it, and that's what changes you. You have to dare to believe.''
This was all well and good, but now it was prediction time.
Who did Rollins think would win the N.B.A. championship: Miami, lifted by LeBron James's boldness, or Dallas, with Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki and the nobility of standing in line and waiting one's turn?
''They both have a lot of weapons, but I think Dallas will win because they're the better scoring team,'' Rollins said. He said that all of the matchups were more or less even except one. Point guard play? ''No one's better than J-Kidd,'' he said.
Far be it from me to challenge someone who has been as accurate with predictions as Jimmy Rollins. But he has this one wrong: LeBron James floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee.
It's Miami.

As part of Liberatum's Women in Creativity Series, here is an interview with photographer and poet, Amanda Eliasch.
Who do you want to meet most in the world and why?
There is not one single person I want to meet above anybody else, I do not give importance to one individual, people have always a ying and yang, and I might not match with their yang. I generally love to meet everybody rich, poor, infamous, famous, totally unknown. I get stimulated in the most unlikely places, there is always something to learn. To say I want to meet one person especially would mean take too much energy. I also have one piece of luck, I put a name into my head and the very next day I usually meet them.
What are you terribly afraid of?
I am not afraid, I am actually brave. However I am not necessarily good with the idea of large dogs coming at me, or those tiny ones that bite ankles. I am not crazy about heights but know how to ski. I do not like to get fat and I do not like people to see me without my make up and sunglasses. It is my burka.
Who inspired you the most as a little girl growing up in England?
My Grandfather without a doubt was the most inspirational man. He taught me so much, from editing film to music, art to writing, especially Shakespeare. He was the Film Director, Producer, Writer, Sidney Gilliat. He liked excellence, so it could be intimidating. He taught and encouraged me saying all the time "No use being just pretty you had better be interesting"
What is your relationship with sex?
I love sex, I like secret sex, passionate sex, meaningful sex. I am not into casual sex, I do not want to go into the bushes. I tend to like sex with people who I do not see during the day. I do not want to discuss window cleaning and who is driving the car with the man I make love to. It is hugely important for my mental welfare, but I separate and always have done, I like sex not to be contaminated with the mundane.
Do you sleep a lot, if not, is it that important?
Sleep is important for those around me, if I do not sleep, my mood changes, I need four hours of good sleep a day. I do like my bed, I work from it, eat in it, dream in, and entertain in it.
It is such a mixed bag. My opinion is women's freedom in Saudi Arabia is shocking, Sharia Law medieval, yet they are Head of Human Rights at the UN?. There is so much work to be done to free women mostly from themselves from tradition. Let's start with two areas that need dealing with immediately. The burka and nahib have to go, and no more cutting of the clitoris. It is barbaric. On the other side of the coin, women have been leaders, nurses and achieved huge and wonderful things in the world. It is just the ego that is evil. I am lucky I was born in England. I have had freedom all my life and encouragement from family to be who I wanted to be, but even then I was put behind my brother who was given an education at one of the best schools in England and I was given an average education at a girl's boarding school. It was not considered necessary to give me anything more that a basic education. I have had to educate myself even though my Mother was a feminist burning her bra. I wanted work and get a job. I had another path. I have freedom, no man tells me what to do, but my sons. I like to listen to them bossing me around.
Why are we still so obsessed with exposing women's body for advertising and promoting any kind of products and even music including music videos in the media?
It has take 2000 years to only get this far, if the human race makes it in another thirty years we had better all stop having so many children, get educated, stop consuming and start planting better seeds because these are our future. Thirty years from now I will be knocking up the daisies, I cannot see a great future for men or women. I see us being locked into one economy, impoverished and consumed if we are not careful. War makes work, and feeds 6.5 billion people on the planet. Only about 0.5 percent of the planet earn enough to keep us. Terrible statistics. So not rosy. We should start planting the future now. It could be different. So different if each one of us did not just think about ourselves but humanity and nature in tune with each other. Our population is far too big for the planet and what we think is so important is just sand in the universe.

I thought all hell was going to break lose last week when Hilary Rosen called B.S. on Ann Romney for talking about women, jobs, and economics when she said "She's never worked a day in her life."
Ann Romney scored a big "gotcha" moment when she said, she decided to be a stay at home mom. Of course, you can't talk shit about a stay at home mom, moms are bulletproof. Once you push a person out of your sweet lady parts, you've pretty much got a trump card for life. So everyone rushed to support Ann Romney's decision. Hilary picked the wrong words, and somehow got buried for it, but we all know what she was trying to say. What she should have said was, Ann Romney was born with money and married money. Anytime she's decided to (she should have dropped some heavy air quotes here )"Work" it was by choice, not by necessity. She's never had to make the hard financial decisions that most American women make because she's sitting on a quarter billion right now.
That's actually a legit point. Instead we're talking about how hard of a job being a stay at home mom is. Here's the thing. Look at this family.
My bad, wrong picture. Here's her real family.
Holy shit! She's got more kids and grandkids than the fake ass joke picture. Do you know how much sex you have to have to have that many people in one family? The book of Mormon must not allow a day of rest. Sundays are reserved for getting it in.
Here's my thing. Let's say Ann Romney did decide to stay at home. Have you ever been around FIVE kids? Five. You think a woman with five kids is going to take care of all those kids by herself? Have you ever been around five kids? Wait, even better, do you think a woman with five kids and sitting on a few hundred million dollars isn't going to have a nanny or three on staff?
There aren't any rich people taking care of five kids on their own. You aren't loading up kids and running them to school, soccer practice, back to the house, church, pick up another two kids, do some homework and tuck everyone in. Nah. Ann Romney had nannies stacked up. That's the funniest thing about this whole "controversy". Is that there is a woman somewhere who is watching Ann Romney wave the flag of the stay at home mom, meanwhile she's thinking "That chick wasn't with me when I was getting shot in the face with water guns and cleaning up poop".
She's out there somewhere. And she's got a big "bitch please" ready for Ann Romney next time she sees her.

At first, I wasn't sure if there was any point to adding to the deluge of blog posts about AC Grayling's plan for a new "elite" university. Enough pixels have been wasted on The New College of the Humanities than is surely merited. However, it cannot do any harm to give this nauseatingly awful idea as good a kicking as possible, just to make it never gets off the ground.
The NCHUM looks like a scheme destined to end in tears. It can't award degrees, nor call itself a "university college", which is how the NCHUM styled itself when it launched last week, nor even conduct any research. It'll only take about 350 students. Two of its "star turns" are only going to give one lecture a year, which is far removed from the NCHUM's claim that the 14 star turns "will contribute personally to your educational experience". It's also not clear how this scheme will break even. Apparently £10m has been raised, and the college hopes to break even by its third year of running. The NCHUM is financed by venture capitalists. They, surely, are going to want some return for their cash aren't they?
I'm not really sure what AC Grayling, Richard Dawkins, Niall Ferguson and the rest hope to achieve with this college. I suspect that it's probably the ability to earn a bit of cash, though Grayling has, it seems, higher motives. This is what he wrote in an e-mail to the President of Birkbeck's Student Union:
A civilized society ought to pay out of the communal purse for the highest quality education for everyone, from the earliest schooling to high education. I hold that view, as I take it you do. But our society has chosen to pay for things other than the humanities and social sciences in higher education; it has turned over to universities the task of funding those subjects, and yet has done it in an unsustainable way because the true cost of educating to a very high standard is much greater than the fees universities will now charge…
You can have two reactions to the fact that the Coalition government (in fact: any of the three main parties) will neither fund universities adequately out of general taxation, nor allow universities to charge the true economic cost: you can protest in the hope of getting them to reverse their policy, or you can accept the profound unlikelihood of the latter, and seek another way of keeping high quality humanities education going over the long term.
He seems to have decided that "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". It's a good job Grayling didn't take this approach to civil liberties. Instead of defending our liberties, he'd be on Newsnight demanding that terror suspects be jailed for two years without charge, rather than writing article after article criticising Labour's assault on liberties.
If we accept Grayling's good intentions at his word, then he's being incredibly foolhardy. I don't recall him ever criticising any government for cutting university funding, or introducing tuition fees. The only article I can find on universities for the Guardian is this one, where he attacks Peter Mandelson for suggesting that universities should provide more contact hours. In that, he argues that students should be essentially left to their own devices: despite that, the NCHUM boasts of a staff-student ratio of 1:10 and that it would give "personal attention" to students.
Dominic Lawson has written one of the better articles on this scheme. In it, he says:
One academic blogger [has labelled] this as a place for "Tim nice but dims whose parents are prepared to spend a fortune having them fall asleep listening to lectures by AC Grayling".
Yet what harm does this do? If parents wish to spend their money in this way, why shouldn't they?
Sarah Churchwell wrote something similar, in response to Terry Eagleton's wonderful polemic, in which she basically argued that we should give this a chance.
I disagree. We shouldn't "give this a chance" or let rich parents buy university education for £18,000 a year just because they can. That's because the NCHUM seems to be part of the commodification of higher education. As university fees keep going up and up, students will surely see a good degree as their "right" – something they have "bought" – as opposed to something to be earned.
This has certainly happened in the United States, and has been increasing in Britain since the tripling of university fees (albeit going by anecdotal evidence). I know of talented doctoral students who are going to drop out of academia because they are tired – already – of teaching students who see a good degree as something they have bought, like a pair of jeans or trendy new sportscar. Some lecturers are now reluctant to go to graduation ceremonies – usually the high point of the university calendar – lest they get accosted by parents who are unhappy that their child has not received their 2.1 that they "paid for". The simple fact is that a university education should be gotten on the basis of academic ability, not the ability to pay £54,000, as would be the case for the vast majority of students at the NCHUM.
Although Grayling wishes the NCHUM to follow the American model, that's not what it's doing. It took – of all people – the head of a privately-run university in Britain to point it out. From the Dominic Lawson article:
Buckingham's ferociously libertarian principal told me that Grayling's new college "is just a bunch of opportunists trying to make some money. They are not giving up their day jobs in the academic state sector. These left-wing intellectuals will just be making easy extra money, funded by venture capitalists". But weren't Professor Grayling and his band of "left-wing intellectuals" just doing what Kealey had long urged – to emulate the American system? Not a bit of it, said Kealey: "The great US humanities colleges are entirely charitable foundations, not profit-making bodies. Grayling's lot are just going to be working to make a return for the venture capitalists backing them — and taking a slice of the equity themselves."
Grayling says that he wants to improve university standards. Yet this is not the way to go about it. This is as likely to raise standards in universities as Oz Clarke selling bottles of WKD to upper-class schoolboys at £18,000 each is likely to stop binge drinking.

Kerala to set up tribunal to get compensation from Coke
Kerala govt decided to set up a special tribunal to realise compensation from multinational softdrinks giant Coca Cola for the "serious losses" caused to people, environment and agriculture by its plant at Plachimada.
Thiruvananthapuram: The LDF government in Kerala on Wednesday decided to set up a special tribunal to realise compensation from multinational softdrinks giant Coca Cola for the "serious losses" caused to people, environment and agriculture by its plant at Plachimada in Palakkad district.
The state cabinet took the decision based on the report of a government appointed high-power committee which quantified the losses inflicted by the plant of the Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of Coca Cola, at Rs 216.26 crore, chief minister V S Achuthanandan told reporters.
The law department had been asked to work out the details of the proposed tribunal, he said.
However, the company, which had run into legal tangles quite often over the issue, stuck to its position that the committee was set up with "a pre-determined and unproven conclusion" that operations of the plant had caused loss to the residents of Plachimada.
In its reaction to the cabinet decision, Hindustan Coca
Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd said in a statement that numerous
scientific studies and investigations by independent experts
and the Kerala Government itself had shown that the plant was
not the cause of local water-shed issues.
The Coca Cola plant at Plachimada had been virtually dysfunctional for the last four years as it was the target of agitations by resistance groups.
The company had faced problems with the government which had even banned sale of Cola products in the state, but lifted it on the basis of an high court order.
The cabinet took the decision after overruling certain reservations expressed by principal secretary (industries) T Balakrishnan on rushing to conclusions on the recommendations of the high power committee.
The panel headed by additional chief secretary K Jayakumar had submitted its report two months ago.
"I have already conveyed to you the cabinet decision", Achuthanandan shot back when reporters asked about the official`s views contradicting LDF`s position on the issue.
He said the report had concluded the Coca Cola plant had inflicted "serious losses" in terms of health of local people and caused agricultural and environmental harm. Newly born babies in the area were suffering from serious health problems like underweight, he said.
The loss quantified by the committee was apart from the depletion of ground water sources caused by the plant.

Enzo Calzaghe, father/trainer of super middleweight great Joe Calzaghe, does not expect Carl Froch to be remembered in the history books as a great fighter. Enzo has kept a close eye on Froch and likes what he sees, but he doesn't view him as a "great fighter."
Enzo told Sky Sport News HD: "Let's use words, there's greatness, there's great and there's good. Obviously I like the guy, I spoke to him and he's got great ability, but he's a good fighter, a good fighter. To be great means special and I find him a good fighter. You know to be great is something about difference, it's not about punching, it's how the whole lot works together.
"He can get plan A or plan B, he can't find plan C. He's a great fighter to look at but greatness is a different level. Joe became engaged in a war of words with Froch in the latter stages of his career, although the two never met in the ring, and the Welshman admits it was just a natural part of the sport.
"It's understandable when a fighter comes up through the ranks. I used to do the same you know, shouting out (Chris) Eubank, (Nigel) Benn, all of these fighters that's part and parcel of it. Everybody comes through the business we all get paid a lot of money. Obviously the fighters are going to call out the biggest name in the division which is me."

aclidinium (Inhalation route)
a-kli-DIN-ee-um BROE-mide
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Tudorza Pressair
Available Dosage Forms:
- Aerosol Powder
Therapeutic Class: Bronchodilator
Pharmacologic Class: Aclidinium
Uses For aclidinium
Aclidinium is used to treat bronchospasm caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a lung disease that also includes chronic bronchitis (swelling of the tubes leading to the lungs) and emphysema (damage to the air sacs in the lungs).
Aclidinium is a bronchodilator. Bronchodilators are breathed in through the mouth to help open up the bronchial tubes (air passages) in the lungs. It is taken by inhalation (an inhaler) and will increase the flow of air to the lungs.
aclidinium is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using aclidinium
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For aclidinium, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to aclidinium or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of inhaled aclidinium in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of inhaled aclidinium in the elderly.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking aclidinium, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using aclidinium with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
- Bupropion
- Donepezil
Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of aclidinium. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Allergy to atropine, or history of or
- Difficult urination or
- Enlarged prostate or
- Glaucoma, narrow angle or
- Urinary bladder blockage—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.
- Allergy to milk proteins, or history of—Should not be used in patients with this condition.
Proper Use of aclidinium
Use aclidinium only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it and do not use it more often than your doctor ordered. Also, do not stop using aclidinium without telling your doctor. To do so may cause your lung condition to become worse.
aclidinium usually comes with patient instructions. Read them carefully before using the medicine. If you do not understand the directions or you are not sure how to use the inhaler, ask your doctor to show you how to use it.
To use the Pressair®:
- aclidinium comes in sealed pouch. Do not open the sealed pouch until you are ready to use a dose of aclidinium.
- Once opened, remove the inhaler from the pouch.
- Take the cap off the mouthpiece. Check the mouthpiece to make sure it is clear.
- Press the green button all the way down and release it.
- Check the control window to make sure your dose is ready for inhalation. Look if the colored control window changed from red to green.
- To inhale aclidinium, breathe out fully and try to get as much air out of your lungs as possible. Put your lips tightly around the mouthpiece and breathe in quickly and deeply until you hear a "click" sound. Keep breathing in, even after you hear the "click" sound to be sure you get the full dose.
- Do not hold the green button while you are breathing in.
- Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for as long as is comfortable, and then breathe out slowly through your nose.
- Stop and check the colored control window if it has turned to red. This means you have inhaled full dose of aclidinium.
- If the control window is still colored green, repeat the steps above. If you are unable to inhale correctly after several attempts, call your doctor.
- Once the window has turned red, place the cap back by pressing it back into the mouthpiece.
- If you want to clean the inhaler, wipe the mouthpiece with a dry tissue or towel. Do not use water to clean the inhaler, as this may damage the medicine.
The dose of aclidinium will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of aclidinium. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For inhalation aerosol dosage form (used with an inhaler):
- For bronchospasm caused by COPD:
- Adults—One puff two times a day (spaced 12 hours apart). Each puff contains 400 micrograms (mcg) of aclidinium bromide.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For bronchospasm caused by COPD:
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of aclidinium, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Keep the medicine in the foil pouch until you are ready to use it. Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct light. Do not freeze.
Do not store aclidinium in a vibrating surface.
Throw away the inhaler 45 days after opening the pouch, after a "0" with a red background shows, or when the device locks out.
Precautions While Using aclidinium
It is very important that your doctor check your progress closely while you are using aclidinium to see if it is working properly and to help reduce any unwanted effects.
Check with your doctor at once if your symptoms do not improve or if your condition gets worse.
aclidinium will not stop bronchospasm that has already started. Your doctor may prescribe another medicine for you to use in case of an acute attack.
aclidinium may cause paradoxical bronchospasm, which means your breathing or wheezing will get worse. Paradoxical bronchospasm may be life-threatening. Check with your doctor right away if you have coughing, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or wheezing after using aclidinium.
Check with your doctor right away if you have any changes to your eyes, such as eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos, or colored images with red eyes while you are using aclidinium. Your doctor may want your eyes to be checked by an eye doctor. These could be symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma.
aclidinium may cause serious allergic reactions. These reactions can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Call your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, hives, hoarseness, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, mouth, or throat while you are using aclidinium.
Call your doctor right away if you use other medicines for your lung condition and they do not seem to be working as well as usual. Do not change your doses or stop using your medicines before you talk to your doctor.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines for appetite control, asthma, colds, cough, hay fever, or sinus problems, and herbal or vitamin supplements.
aclidinium Side Effects
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:Incidence not known
- Decrease in the frequency of urination
- decrease in urine volume
- difficulty in passing urine (dribbling)
- eye pain and blurred vision
- painful urination
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:More common

Managing Editor
The recently-completed year of
1987 proved to be an eventful one in
numerous respects for Starr Coun-
There were a number of events
that affected the lives of Starr
County residents in 1987, but five
stories stand out as most impor-
Among these are the election of a
new County Judge" and his efforts,
to make deep cuts in the coG'nty
budget, the reappraisal of coun-
tywide properties by the Appraisal
District, political turbulence, in-
cluding allegations of wrongdoing,
within three water supply entities,
a massive federal drug-related raid
near Roma that drew national
attention, and the death of the
county fire department's longtime
The year s leading newsmaker is
Jose M. Martinez, Jr., the new
County Judge. Martinez had
narrowly upset two-term incum-
bent Bias Chapa in the Democratic
primary runoff in June 1986.
Immediately upon taking office,
Martinez insisted that the county
faced a serious crisis due to a
growing budget deficit. He imme-
diately asked for cuts in the budget
amounting to $500,000, contending
that such deep cuts were necessary
to pull the county out of a growing
deficit. He insisted that all de-
partments would be treated fairly
and equally.
Also supporting the cuts was
Auditor Jose Guadalupe Villarreal,
who contended that the county
budgets of the past few years had
been based on "fictitious" and
unrealistic figures.
A number of department heads,
including the Sheriff and County
Clerk, contended that the cuts
proposed by Martinez would
seriously hinder the departments
from operating effectively.
The issue came to a head with
stormy meetings of the County
Commissioners on Jan. 15 and 16.
At that time, county officials and
citizens freely, and often heatedly,
traded opinions about whether the
proposed cuts were wise and fair.
Opponents of the cuts, led by
Lopez Files
For Pet 3
Leonel R. Lopez of La Puerta
Ranch has filed as a candidate for
County Commissioner of Precinct
Three, the position currently held
by one-term incumbent Eloy
Lopez, 43, said, "First of all, I
give my sincere thanks to all
persons who give me their
signature to my petition to file for
the position of Commissioner of
Precinct Three I am grateful for
them giving me the opportunity to
run on the Democratic primary,
since I cannot afford to pay the big
amount of $600 for filing "
Lopez said, "As I stated before,
'The issue is what can we offer our
next generation. We have to work
for a better tomorrow. It all
depends on the County Commis-
sioners. The best way to raise
greater tax revenue is to create
new jobs on a large scale with the
a ttraction of industry
Lopez said, "This is very impor-
(See LOPEZ, Page 5)
Precinct Two Commissioner
Amando Pena of Roma, argued
that Martinez arid Villarreal had
vastly exaggerated the situation's
gravity, and even questioned
whether a deficit existed They
blamed the county's financial pro-
blems on a loss in revenue due to
the tax rollback approved by voters
in 1983.
After the long, tense meetings,
the cor rrtissioners finally voted to
approve cuts amounting to a net
--tt>tal of $372,000 in the 1987 budget.
Each county commissioner's
■budget was cut by $50,000, the
Sheriff's Department by $50,000,
the Airport by $15,000, and the Fire
Department by $12,000
There was also extensive deoate
when the commissioners met
together in late September and
early October to consider approval
of the proposed 1988 budget sub-
mitted by Martinez.
After much debate, the commis-
sioners voted to approve a budget
totaling almost $4.9 million, which
was more than $500,000 greater
than that requested by Judge
Commissioner Pena contended
that the county could expect almost
$200,000 more in revenue from the
International Bridge than the fig-
ure projected by Judge Martinez.
His "amendment" also projected a
collection of $228,000 more in both
the Road and Bridge Funds.
Under the budget approved on
Oct. 1, the Sheriff's Department
was budgeted $170,000 more than
proposed by Judge Martinez, each
commissioner was allocated
$347,500 instead of the $300,000
figure proposed by Martinez, and
the Federal Program Coordinator's
Office was maintained, instead of
being abolished as Martinez had
proposed, in both January and
In January, the Appraisal Dis-
trict, under the leadership of new
Chief Appraiser Ricardo Diaz,
began reappraisal work on residen-
tial and commercial properties
throughout the county.
At their Jan. 8 meeting, the
Appraisal District Board of Direc-
tors voted to set May 15,1988 as the
target date for completion of the
countywide reappraisal. Diaz,
when questioned by one board
member, indicated that the state
had given the District until that
time to complete the reappraisal.
The reappraisal gradually prog-
ressed, and, following hearings by

District Attorney
Heriberto Silva, 38, of Rio

District Attorney of the 229th
Judicial District, the post currently
held by three-term incumbent

Cerda has announced that he is a
candidate for re-election to a fourth
term as District Attorney.
Silva said, "I have decided to file
for the position of District Attorney
and there are many reasons why I
have made this decision I feel that
under the present administration,
-j - j
Heriberto Silvn
the office of the District Attorney
has become the weakest link in the
law enforcement chain because
there is a total lack of leadership
and guidance from the District
Silva added, "The following facts
show the need for a change in
leadership: There have been no
criminal trials in Starr County in
the past year. Starr and Duval
Counties, with over 80 percent of
the population in the District, have
to share one Assistant District
Attorney. A recent grand jury in
Starr County convened four times
without any attorney to represent
law enforcement."
Silva continued, "$11,000 in drug
money was lost because the Dis-
trict Attorney forgot to file for
forfeiture The only case that F A
Cerda has handled in the last eight
years, he agreed to give away
$142,000. Four persons charged
with possession of 120 pounds of
marijuana were allowed to plead
guilty to disorderly conduct."
Silva said, "There are many
other negative examples which I
could provide, but 1 feel that it is
time to look to the future "
Silva contended. "It is time to
bring leadership and respect back
to the District Attorney's Office. I
have the experience and ability to
make an effective prosecutor I
have made several trips to Duval
and Jim Hogg Counties and I have

Predix Pharmaceuticals Announces Collaboration For Development Of S1P1 Modulators For The Treatment Of Autoimmune Diseases With Amgen; Total Payments To Predix Could Exceed $300 Million
Published: Jul 31, 2006
Under the terms of the agreement, Predix and Amgen will collaborate on the development of existing Predix preclinical compounds and new S1P1 modulators. Amgen will be responsible for clinical development and commercialization of the product candidate(s). Predix will receive an upfront payment of $20 million. Additionally, if certain clinical, regulatory and sales milestones are achieved, Predix can earn up to an additional $287.5 million in milestone payments. Under the agreement, Predix will have the opportunity to receive potential double-digit royalties on future sales of products resulting from this collaboration and will have the option to promote a product resulting from this collaboration to specialty physicians in the U.S. for a selected indication.
"Amgen is recognized as an industry leader in the research, development and commercialization of therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases," stated Chen Schor, chief business officer of Predix. "We are very pleased to enter into this collaboration and look forward to working with Amgen. This collaboration provides Predix with the option to transform into a fully integrated pharmaceutical company by exercising our co-promote option with Amgen. This deal comes as we are in the process of finalizing our merger with EPIX and will further enable the combined company to pursue this research program along with our other development programs."
Sharon Shacham, Ph.D., vice president of preclinical development at Predix added, "The goal of this collaboration is to leverage both Amgen's and Predix's expertise in autoimmune research. We believe that combining Predix's S1P1 program with Amgen's assets and capabilities will lead to new therapies that will more effectively treat a variety of autoimmune disorders."
About S1P1 Modulators
Predix's preclinical-stage S1P1 agonists are potent and selective for S1P1 over other S1P receptors and many other GPCRs, potentially providing an improved side effect profile in the clinic compared to currently available immunosuppressive drugs. S1P1 is one of at least five different GPCRs that are activated by the phospholipid Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). These GPCRs play a role in multiple biological processes, including immune system activation and cardiovascular function. Compounds which activate the S1P1 receptor, called S1P1 agonists, have been shown to induce peripheral lymphopenia, which is a reduction in circulating lymphocytes in the blood. Instead of inactivating lymphocytes and hampering the immune response entirely like conventional immunosuppressive drugs, S1P1 agonists appear to work by temporarily maintaining lymphocytes in the lymphatic system (e.g., lymph nodes). This mechanism of action has been suggested to be beneficial in a variety of autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and rejection of transplanted organs.
About Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases afflict millions of Americans. There are many different autoimmune diseases. Some examples are multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Autoimmune diseases can each affect the body in different ways. For instance, the autoimmune reaction is directed against the brain in multiple sclerosis and the intestines or gastrointestinal tract in Crohn's disease. In other diseases, such as lupus, affected tissues and organs may vary among individuals with the same disease.
About Predix Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc.
Predix, based in Lexington, MA, is a pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel, highly selective, small-molecule drugs that target G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels. Using its proprietary drug discovery technology and approach, Predix has advanced four internally-discovered drug candidates into clinical trials and has five additional programs in preclinical development and discovery. Predix is expected to complete the first of at least two pivotal Phase III clinical trials for generalized anxiety disorder for its lead drug candidate, PRX-00023, in the second half of 2006. In addition to PRX-00023, Predix has three other clinical-stage drug candidates: PRX-03140 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which is expected to enter Phase IIa later this year; PRX-08066 for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and PH associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which recently entered a Phase II trial; and, PRX-07034, which recently entered a Phase I trial and is expected to be developed for the treatment of obesity and also cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease or schizophrenia. Additional information about Predix can be found on the company's website at www.predixpharm.com.
