On Saturday, ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons ' 1960s band The Moving Sidewalks will play their first concert in more than 40 years, and the singer/guitarist says he and his old band mates are raring to go. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer admits that in reuniting with his old group, he had to revisit a style of playing he'd long ago left behind.
"We're taking things in reverse," he explains to The Village Voice . "The enticement of unlearning is certainly working its magic with the band and being able to tag the energy that was flying around in 1967 is rewarding."
The reunion, which takes place at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City, was spearheaded by longtime Moving Sidewalks fan Jon Weiss , promoter of the ongoing Cavestomp garage-rock concert series. He contacted drummer Dan Mitchell , who then got on the horn with Gibbons.
Noting that he and the other Sidewalks -- Mitchell, keyboardist Tom Moore and bassist Don Summers -- have "remained in touch" since the band broke up, Billy says they felt that "the invitation was so appealing, we kind of fell into it."
Gibbons adds that once the group had committed to the reunion and began practicing "there was no trepidation at all. We just smiled and pressed forward, and it got meaner and meaner."
After Saturday's show, The Moving Sidewalks have only one other gig scheduled -- an April 28 appearance at the Austin Psych Fest in Austin, Texas. However, Billy admits that there will be more to come from the group.
"Not only have we gotten together and polished up existing songs, but we've started writing in that style," he tells The Village Voice . Gibbons reveals the band plans to start work on a new recording project next month, before ZZ Top gets back on the road later this spring.
Billy also says his ZZ Top mates have given their blessing to The Moving Sidewalks project.
" Frank [ Beard ] and Dusty [ Hill ] are sitting on the sidelines in full support of watching this thing grow," he declares. "They're kind of excited, [and] asked me if I can get them tickets."

The Indiana State Women's Basketball Team has been picked to win the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in this year's Pre-Season poll that was released at the annual MVC Media Day event in Chicago. Teri Moran's squad picked up 26 first place votes with defending champion Wichita State receiving 13 first place votes.
Senior guard Anna Munn has also been selected as a preseason all-conference selection. Munn was a second-team all-MVC pick a season ago. The Indianapolis, Ind. native averaged 14.5 points per game.
The Sycamores finished 18-13 overall last season and 10-8 in the MVC. That was good enough for fourth place and a bid to the WNIT.

IT is responsible for the 2% of CO2 released globally. In the public sector, IT accounts for almost 35% of energy consumption.
Most Green IT solutions have another benefit they reduce cost, both capital and running, decisions made TODAY will have a knock on effect to your cost and CO2 reduction tomorrow and in the future.
F1Group are here to partner you through this journey at a Senior Management Team level; ensuring that these new alien principles through training and appreciation have the support of your IT team.
For example we recently
- Reduced the onward capital requirement of servers from 18 to 5 without effecting network performance.
- In turn reducing the cooling and power requirement by a similar factor.
- By changing the specification of an IT Desktop roll-out, the cost of the energy saving alone paid for the capital cost of the Desktops over four years.
- Reduced future WEEE disposal costs by deploying "Greener" designed hardware.
- Imagine a Computer that detects your presence and "suspends" when you are away from your desk and turns back on in under a second when your back.
In fact with the mid to long term increase in energy prices, these benefits today will have an greater impact on your bottom line and CO2 emissions.

An innocent radio program on the East Coast revealed something few people knew about the Charlotte Bobcats, Michael Jordan and Gonzaga great Adam Morrison. Apparently, Jordan did not draft Morrison.
Read the transcript:
"On the past draft-day blunders and how fans can trust that those won't be made again going forward
"I think you can go through any franchise and any team and you can second guess after the fact on what you should have done. If the situation, when you talk about Morrison, I'll just be specific. That was a different regime."
Wasn't Adam Morrison Michael Jordan's pick though?
"No. From my gathering, because I wasn't here at that particular time, I thought it was Bernie Bickerstaff. … It's a fair question and I'm sure every market and every team has to kind of go through that process because you can second guess. I'll sit here and tell you guys that we're fairly equipped to make sound decisions. You can go back and forth and always say what if, but at the end of the day, I think that Kemba Walker and Bismack are going to be pretty good at the end of the day. I think Gerald Henderson is going to be pretty good."
I find the conversation, which took place on WFNZ in North Carolina, interesting on two fronts: first, why does Charlotte even need to talk about Adam Morrison anymore? And secondly, I don't think picking Morrison was that bad of a gamble.
Take my first point: why does Charlotte need to keep bringing up Adam Morrison and assign blame for calling his number? In his rookie year with the Bobcats – before his injury – he was averaging nearly 12 points per game and was making one out of every three-pointer he chucked up. True, those are not All-Star numbers, but they're not bad either, and given a little bit of time I believe he would have evolved into a serious offensive threat were it not for his injury.
So why the need to assign blame for a decision that wasn't all that bad? The reason, to me at least, is simply this: not even His Airness, Michael Jordan has been able to build anything meaningful in Charlotte. So, rather than admit defeat, those who hold power with the team would rather point fingers at someone who is not even around to defend himself. Why not point the finger at Morrison? Why not blame the team's lack of success on a popular target? That is the easy way out.
Now, what about Michael Jordan's role in the Morrison fiasco? True, he didn't take control of the team until mere weeks before the draft. But to totally absolve him of any responsibility – or credit, I might add – is downright silly. If you were to buy a house and the owners were thinking about putting new flooring in before the closing date, do you mean to tell me you wouldn't have any interest in making sure they put in exactly what you want? Whether it's a college all-star or a hardwood floor, it's all the same in this instance.
Beyond the pettiness, however, is this writer's simple opinion on the matter: who cares whose call it was to draft Adam Morrison? So it didn't work out. Move on and stop lambasting a guy who, by most statistical measures, wasn't all that bad.

Adjust plug-in and track parameters with your fingertips, create elaborate volume curves or browse sounds and presets in a breeze — with this flexible controller you will not only save valuable studio time but also add convenience to your recording, editing and mixing workflow.The multi-functional centerpiece of the CMC unit is the acclaimed AI Knob, which has already proven its potential in Steinberg's CC121, CI2 and CI2+ interfaces. This innovative "point and precision" knob allows you to quickly control about any visual Cubase object, such as mixer faders, EQ gain knobs or effect send levels. Simply point the mouse cursor on the desired object and you can instantly control the objcet-related value via the AI Knob — without additional assignments. For more convenience, the object can be locked to the AI Knob to retain control when the mouse is moved elsewhere onscreen.In addition to the classic AI mode there are two special working modes that further enhance the unit's capabilities. In the Volume mode the AI Knob turns into a high-precision master volume control, while the Jog mode equips the knob with intuitive jog functionality. Plus, by pushing the AI Knob once the Browse function is activated, which lets you select presets and sounds from pop-up dialogs with the turn of a knob.To make this portable controller even more versatile, the CMC-AI houses four user-assignable function buttons, allowing you to adapt the unit exactly to your needs. In sum, this mobile control device is a smart and easy-to-use addition to the computer mouse and keyboard. The universal AI Knob, customizable function buttons and dedicated working modes make this piece of hardware a must for any serious Cubase user.Introducing the CMC seriesThe CMC series is made up of six USB-powered controllers that can be individually combined to form a custom-made Cubase control desk.

Rather than attempting to replace traditional mouse pointing devices, the AI Knob harnesses the flexibility of a computer mouse to offer unprecedented speed when editing parameters and adjusting settings. The computer mouse is simply moved over the parameter, which is then automatically placed under full precision control through the AI Knob, with no need to make any additional settings in Cubase, any additional software module or on the interface itself.Visual feedback galoreThe CMC-QC (#H77576) and CMC-CH units house convenient rotary encoders with green LED lights. The LED brightness varies according to the encoder position: the farther from the center, the brighter the LED. And also the CMC-PD (#H77579) features 16 highly responsive rubber pads with LED-based background lights. Best of all, the lights change colors depending on the velocity level — from green to orange over to red.Slick and mobileSmall in size but big in value, the CMC series are your perfect partner on the road.

To reflect this, the Ready lamp lights up and the controller is ready to assume control.Cubase AI 6 includedEach of the CMC units includes an exclusive download version of Cubase AI, a special, compact version of the popular Cubase music production system. Together with one or more CMC units, you have a complete system solution for fine-tuning your music to perfection.

Robin Williams, R.I.P.
Actor and comic genius Robin Williams was found dead in his home this morning of an apparent suicide. He was 63.
The world became much sadder and a lot less funny.
Williams possessed a gift for improvisation. This was apparent from the moment he appeared on Happy Days in a guest spot. That guest spot would result in his own TV series Mork & Mindy co-starring Pam Dawber.
It took awhile for Williams to achieve success on the silver screen, but he would have a string of hit movies including Moscow on the Hudson, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society, Awakenings, The Fisher King, Mrs. Doubtfire and Patch Adams. Williams would win Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Good Will Hunting.
Last year, Williams returned to the small screen in the CBS sitcom The Crazy Ones co-starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. However, it was cancelled after only one season.

But while the suspect's savvy lawyers plan a "post-partum psychosis" defense, A.D.A.s McCoy (Sam Waterston) and Borgia (Annie Parisse) have reason to believe that someone else was involved in the "sale" of the child, as well as the murder.

Supporters stand near the street holding a sign as embers of the band "Brenda" perform in a dirt lot across the street from the Russian Embassy in Washington on August 10, 2012 in a solidarity concert for the Russian punk rock group Pussy Riot. Three members of the female band Pussy Riot are currently on trial in Russia and face a three-year sentence with the possibility of hard labor for performing a protest song in a Moscow cathedral last February.

Court to hand down sentence on Pussy Riot punk band case on Aug. 17
MOSCOW - The Russian punk band Pussy Riot said on Tuesday, Aug.14, it planned new protest performances against President Vladimir Putin and urged other women to don balaclavas and stage protests, despite a trial at which three band mates could be jailed.
The trial of Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Maria Alyokhina, 24, has merely strengthened the band's resolve, members of the group who are not on trial told Reuters.
They spoke during an interview at which the all-women group donned balaclavas and brightly coloured tights like those worn by their three band mates during the protest on the altar of a Russian Orthodox cathedral that led to their arrest.
"Three wonderful girls who were an inspiration for this group are in prison right now," one member, going by the name of Button and clad in a thick army green balaclava to guard her identity, said.
"It is hard for us without them. We feel it, but it means only one thing: We should be even stronger, maybe even bolder."
They gave no details of the performances they plan but said they hoped to inspire others to launch their own protests.
"Please put your balaclavas on. I would like to urge other girls - put your balaclavas on, go out on to the street, to work, to your office, to the shop, go to the theatre in your balaclava, become a Pussy Riot. Stage your own riot," one of the other young women said.
Pussy Riot have been branded as immoral and irreverent by some members of the Russian Orthodox Church and representatives of Putin's United Russia Party, but they are held up as victims and heroes by admirers.
Clad in rainbow colours, the women smoked, fidgeted with their makeshift balaclavas and laughed during a break from a cover shoot for a U.S. news magazine.
A few have been members of the political protest group since it was formed last year in reaction to Putin's decision to return to the presidency, the post he held from 2000 to 2008.
But others of the seven who spoke to Reuters said they had been inspired to join by the arrest of three of Pussy Riot's founders over their profanity-laced performance on Feb. 21 deriding Putin's close ties with the Russian Orthodox Church
Many Russians were offended by the "punk prayer" and a state prosecutor has demanded a three-year jail sentence on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.
A verdict in the trial that began on July 30 is due to be announced on Friday, Aug. 17.
"We made our choice. Of course there is danger and we feel it. Obviously, we want to avoid any bad situations in the future but I'm afraid that every one of us - it is quite scary - is ready for such consequences," said one of the women in a striped balaclava and red dress.
Pussy Riot's case has been taken up by global pop stars including Madonna who donned a black balaclava during a concert in Moscow last week to show solidarity with the band and called for their release.
"It is really strange to talk about because until this wave of support formed, it wasn't prestigious but provocative, it was dangerous" to be a part of Pussy Riot, said one member, "Mother", dressed in a pink balaclava and orange dress.
"Now there are very many pussy riots all over the world, people who are donning balaclavas and giving us support."
For the women, who say they were inspired by the 1990s movement of underground U.S. feminist punk movement Riot Grrrl, the masks are vital to keeping their anonymity during protests they have staged on the subway, near a prison and on a trolley bus.
"The idea of Pussy Riot is that you can't arrest us all and there will be more and more of us," said one member.
While many of the band members say the judiciary is not independent and fear the worst from Friday's verdict, the threat of jail has not deterred them.
"Initially there was desire, a very strong desire to become part of Pussy Riot. That was some sort of a dream of mine. I didn't even know how real it could be - how could I join those awesome girls and be close to them," said Button."Then it all somehow happened ... It was so cool. It is just happiness. For me, it is just one big chunk of happiness to be a Pussy Riot girl."

Tolokonnikova said that in the great scheme of things this was not their trial but a trial of the Russian judicial system as a whole. "Christianity, as I understand it after studying the Old and New Testament, supports the search for the truth. Christ was with sinners not by a chance. He said that He is with those who stumble and that He forgives them. But we haven't seen it during this trial. I think that the prosecution violates Christianity," said Tolokonnikova, the first to speak. "Like Solzhenitsyn, I believe that words will crush concrete. We sit in a cage but we haven't lost. Just like the dissidents did not lose. Disappearing in psychiatric wards and jails, they convicted the regime."
"Many people say that our political gesture was correct, that we uncovered sores of this system, stirred up a hornet's nest, which then rushed at us," continued her final statement Tolokonnikova. "With each day more and more people realize that if this political system throws itself against three girls, who sang for 30 seconds in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, it shows that this political system is afraid of them."
Maria Alekhina, who spoke second, said: "The authorities will blush with shame for a long time for this trial. A trial like this is simply not possible in a healthy society… Without the blessing of the patriarch we uncovered the visual image of Orthodox culture and protest, we declared that the Orthodox culture does not belong to the patriarch and Putin and might be on the side of protest and rebellion."
"It is obvious that these young ladies do not deserve criminal prosecution. It is also clear that the church, soliciting for criminal punishment and for making it more severe goes beyond the scope of its powers and, most importantly, beyond its Christian nature. I am absolutely convinced that if Jesus Christ was in the position of the patriarch and in the position of the present day church he would act completely differently."
Gee ?
First they feared the "Orange" ?
Now they fear the "balaclavas" !
The western hypocrisy in action - "do what we say, not what we do", heh, heh, heh :D
"Helsinki, Finland - A number of prominent public and culture figures and human rights activists in Finland have filed suit with the Helsinki police against Teivo Teivainen, a professor of the University of Helsinki, for an attempt to replay a stunt of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot near the Orthodox Assumption Cathedral in Helsinki.
"A criminal case has been initiated under two Finnish Criminal Code articles concerning the violation of religious tolerance rules," Johan Backman, a prominent Finnish human rights activist and an adjunct professor of the University of Helsinki, told Interfax on Wednesday.
"The Finnish Criminal Code bans even an attempt to obstruct a religious service (Article 17-11) and any kind of humiliation of another person's faith in writing or in other forms (17-10). Wearing a mask at a public place and unsanctioned rallies are also prohibited. It is necessary to notify police beforehand in Finland," Backman said.
"Teivainen's punishment now depends on the Finnish Prosecutor General's Office, which makes decisions on pressing charges on anti-religious crimes. If the Prosecutor General's Office presses charges against the professor, he will face up to 2 years' imprisonment," he said.
The suit has been signed by Backman representing the Finnish Anti-Fascist Committee, prominent Finnish playwright Jussi Parviainen, musician Tommi Lievemaa, Evgenia Hilden-Jarvenpera, a member of the education committee in the city of Pori, and others."
Kremlinoids refrain from mentioning that Moscow bombed the civilian women and children in Helsinki - without a declaration of war - in 1939, because those facts are not included in the homo-sovieticus Soviet Encyclopedia.
Lesbian Apparatchik Eunuchs for the Global PC Empire - Pussy Rot.
Soundbite for the net.
Pussy Rot are all NGO paid agents of Washington DC. Every university educated observer sees that.
NWO Apparatchiks. Talentless, who only want money. Like the common neutered eunuch of Rome,
Academics with advanced history backgrounds can easily see that Pussy Rot are apparatchiks. The typical de-gendered, Lesbian or gay, eunuchs of any empire in history.
Apparatchik eunuched pussy rot, the neo-marxist glory girls, held up as the de-gendering of the target population.
Agents of Genocide are pussy rots.
Denigrating the survivors of genocide, Christian genocide of the USSR.
GULAG PART 3v
GULAG PART 4v
GULAG PART 6v
We've all seen this before, yet the young pussy rots think their ride is unique.
65 million Russian Christians were genocided by the Marxist USSR, the reconstructed church is a symbol of that White Genocide.
Word is spreading across the internet- Pussy Rot are State Apparatchiks, the Lesbian Eunuchs of the Global Empire.

The Newest Social Addiction
Rita is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Any Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) addict knows what is Farmville and what is Zynga Poker. The company behind these hugely successful games, Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) now is aiming at widening its service offering area by going beyond just games. The master game-maker is planning to come out with its own gamers' social networking site "Zynga with Friends." So, how will this affect the social networking space? Let's dig into that.
The Need
Zynga wants to bring all gamers together and provide them with a unified experience through a better connected platform. This new platform will allow interactive gaming through real-time game sharing, thus making it possible for multiple players to participate in the same game and compete with each other simultaneously. The gamers will be constantly connected to each other through Zynga's profile page and chat facility even if they are using different devices to play.
Questions in My Mind
Both Zynga and Facebook shared, and actually still share a symbiotic relation when it comes to growing. Facebook's huge user base helped Zynga spread across the virtual gaming world and Zynga's cool and addictive games helped Facebook in maintaining user's interest in the site as well as added to the top line. In the first quarter, Facebook's 15% revenue came from the fees it received from the game-maker. As an automatic reaction to Zynga's plans, two obvious questions come to my mind. First, will this move affect the relation between Zynga and Facebook? Second, how far does Zynga's dependence on Facebook shrink with this move?
Well, it seems Mark Zuckerberg is cool with the idea of Zynga entering the social networking space. The company thinks it is interesting to see how Zynga plans to grow across the web and mobile platforms. Even Zynga officials feel there are no concerns when it comes to their relationship with Facebook as their plans will not pose as threats for the latter. In fact, Zynga had made it very clear to Facebook from the very beginning of their association that they will branch out to things like this.
Coming to my second question, it seems even with this move, Zynga's dependence on Facebook cannot end totally. Surely it will shrink to an extent, but not enough to make Facebook lose its importance within Zynga's operations. Zynga will take time to make its offering popular and til then Facebook will continue to be an important part of their survival and growth strategy.
Zynga will need Facebook big time even in making its new platform popular. The strategy is: gamers will play online games on Facebook but not just with their Facebook friends, but also with other gamers who are in the Zynga with Friends network. Gamers will have their own list of friends and will get access to them on games from companies who use Zynga's gaming platform. The philosophy behind all of this is to allow gamers find the best gaming partners anywhere they play. In addition, the company also has plans to partner other developers to develop online and mobile games by giving them Zynga's programming tools. The company has recently entered into a partnership with Majesco Entertainment (NASDAQ: COOL), thus making Majesco's Mini Putt Park game available to the Zynga platform. The game, which allows the players to create a customized golf course, is already available on Facebook and is doing well. All these efforts brought together will help create what the company calls the "Zynga Ecosystem."
The Path Ahead!
The company is pretty optimistic about the outcome of its plans. They expect the platform to have about 290 million users with around 2.8 billion interactions daily. However, management is still silent about the launch date of "Zynga with Friends." Zynga is also all set to launch two sequels. The first is the sequel of its very popular Farmville – "Farmville 2," and the second is a smartphone game "Matching with Friends" which follows the line of "Word with Friends." However, one final question which is on everyone's mind is how much potential does the online gaming space still hold? The concept of games across social platforms is becoming stale. So, how much benefit Zynga can reap from this slowly saturating space is what interests me.

Stunning photos of Chiang Mai's Floating Lantern Festival.
Thousands of people gather and launch hot-air lanterns into the night sky. They are made of a thin fabric - usually rice paper. A candle or fuel cell is attached so that when it's lit, the hot air trapped inside creates enough lift for it to float away. It's a spectacular sight as thousands of lanterns are released at the same time. The festival is a time to pay respect to higher deities - you say a prayer, make a wish and then watch as your lantern floats away. Many people also believe that the lantern will carry your troubles away with it.

- It's the only living proof of my fussy-as-hell Tomos moped that would cruise upwards of 40mph - that's if you could get it to start.
- There is also an old Mongoose "freestyle" push scooter (with rear disc brake!) that was a hand-me-down from my brothers, which I promptly dismantled one summer, painted blue and orange, and put on white tires and grips. I was always personalizing things I guess…
- There is also the family's old Honda Elite scooter which was put through hell; towing rollerskating children, off-roading around the yard when my parents were gone (how many times have I gone over the bars on that thing?), letting friends try to ride it (and crash), and survived being campus transportation for my brother at Virginia Tech and for me in Cincinnati.
- It's a reminder of all the other little things on the walls in that garage that were such a part of growing up for me; numerous rakes for making leaf piles to jump out of trees into, coolers for all the camping trips we took with family and Boy Scouts, buckets full of golf balls saved/stolen when hit into our front yard…
- And lastly, I am still quite pleased with the quality of the print and the mood captured. Despite the low lighting, it has a wide tonal range, maintains detail in the shadows and highlights, and has some kind of strange feel to it, as if all these two-wheeled things are asleep, resting after a busy day.
Ok sure, I get sentimental sometimes and need to post something other than a reblog or instagram photo so here ya go.
I owe a big thanks Ken Bukowski, my photo and drawing teacher who kept me on track during high school and provided a space for the creative freedom that has landed me where I am today. Wherever you are, I hope you are still out there handing down your knowledge.

The 3-Step Start
Getting started on treatment is one of the most important decisions you will make. After all, treatment with AVONEX has been proven to help delay physical disability progression and reduce flare-ups. With AVONEX, we will be there with you every step of the way, ensuring that the initiation process is as easy as possible.
Once we receive your START form, you're on your way to treating your relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) with AVONEX—the only MS treatment that has both been proven to start working as early as the first attacka as well as slow the progression of physical disability. AVONEX does all this with once-a-week dosing. And to help you get started even faster, you can receive a free month of AVONEX with the First Month Free Program.
We are here to make sure that you can focus on your treatment, not on its cost. ActiveAccess™ offers a comprehensive set of financial and insurance support services with solutions tailored to your individual needs. Your personal coordinator can research your insurance benefits and inform you about your specific coverage, while you get started on treatment with the AVONEX First Month Free Program. Call 1-800-456-2255 to see how we can help you with your financial needs.
Success with AVONEX starts with proper injection technique. You should know that we're here
to help you confidently and successfully start treatment. The AVONEX ActiveNurses™
program provides free in-home training from a licensed, MS-trained nurse. Whether your doctor recommends AVONEX Prefilled Syringe or AVONEX PEN®, ActiveNurses
will teach you the skills you need to feel confident about giving yourself an injection.
Plus they're available 24/7 to offer advice and answer your questions. Call
What's more, the AVONEX ActiveSupport™ and ActiveVoices™ programs offer a wide range of treatment, wellness, and peer support services.
- Avonex is approved for people with relapsing MS, including people who have experienced their first flare-up and have lesions consistent with MS on their MRIs.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see the full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for additional important safety information. This information is not intended to replace discussions with your healthcare provider.
AVONEX (interferon beta-1a) is approved by FDA to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) to decrease the number of flare-ups and slow the occurrence of some of the physical disability that is common in people with MS. AVONEX is approved for use in people who have experienced a first attack and have lesions consistent with MS on their MRI.
Important Safety Information
Before beginning treatment, you should discuss with your healthcare provider the potential benefits and risks associated with AVONEX.
AVONEX can cause serious side effects. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the symptoms listed below while taking AVONEX.
- Behavioral health problems including depression, suicidal thoughts or hallucinations. Some people taking AVONEX may develop mood or behavior problems including irritability (getting upset easily), depression (feeling hopeless or feeling bad about yourself), nervousness, anxiety, aggressive behavior, thoughts of hurting yourself or suicide, and hearing or seeing things that others do not hear or see (hallucinations).
- Liver problems, or worsening of liver problems including liver failure and death. Symptoms may include nausea, loss of appetite, tiredness, dark colored urine and pale stools, yellowing of your skin or the white part of your eye, bleeding more easily than normal, confusion, and sleepiness. During your treatment with AVONEX you will need to see your healthcare provider regularly and have regular blood tests to check for side effects.
- Serious allergic reactions and skin reactions. Symptoms may include itching, swelling of the face, eyes, lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing, anxiousness, feeling faint, and skin rash, hives, sores in your mouth, or your skin blisters and peels.
AVONEX will not cure your MS but may decrease the number of flare-ups of the disease and slow the occurrence of some of the physical disability that is common in people with MS. MS is a life-long disease that affects your nervous system by destroying the protective covering (myelin) that surrounds your nerve fibers.
The way AVONEX works in MS is not known. It is not known if AVONEX is safe and effective in children.
Do not take AVONEX if you are allergic to interferon beta, albumin (human), or any of the ingredients in AVONEX.
Before taking AVONEX, tell your healthcare provider if you:
- are being treated for a mental illness, or had treatment in the past for any mental illness, including depression and suicidal behavior.
- have or had bleeding problems or blood clots, have or had low blood cell counts, have or had liver problems, have or had seizures (epilepsy), have or had heart problems, have or had thyroid problems, have or had any kind of autoimmune disease (where the body's immune system attacks the body's own cells), such as psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or rheumatoid arthritis.
- drink alcohol.
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if AVONEX will harm your unborn baby. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant during your treatment with AVONEX.
- are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if AVONEX passes into your breast milk. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will use AVONEX or breastfeed. You should not do both.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
AVONEX can cause serious side effects including:
Heart problems, including heart failure. While AVONEX is not known to have any direct effects on the heart, a few patients who did not have a history of heart problems developed heart muscle problems or congestive heart failure after taking AVONEX. If you already have heart failure, AVONEX may cause your heart failure to get worse. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have worsening symptoms of heart failure such as shortness of breath or swelling of your lower legs or feet while using AVONEX.
- Some people using AVONEX may have other heart problems including low blood pressure, fast or abnormal heart beat, chest pain, and heart attack or heart muscle problem (cardiomyopathy).
- Blood problems. AVONEX can affect your bone marrow and cause low red and white blood cell, and platelet counts. In some people, these blood cell counts may fall to dangerously low levels. If your blood cell counts become very low, you can get infections and problems with bleeding and bruising.
- Seizures. Some patients have had seizures while taking AVONEX, including patients who have never had seizures before.
- Infections. Some people who take AVONEX may get an infection. Symptoms of an infection may include fever, chills, pain or burning with urination, urinating often, bloody diarrhea, and coughing up mucus.
- Thyroid problems. Some people taking AVONEX develop changes in their thyroid function. Symptoms of thyroid changes include problems concentrating, feeling cold or hot all the time, weight changes, and skin changes.
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above.
The most common side effects of AVONEX include:
- Flu-like symptoms. Most people who take AVONEX have flu-like symptoms early during the course of therapy. Usually, these symptoms last for a day after the injection. You may be able to manage these flu-like symptoms by taking over-the-counter pain and fever reducers. For many people, these symptoms lessen or go away over time. Symptoms may include muscle aches, fever, tiredness, and chills.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Democratic Congressman-elect Jerry McNerney will stop in Tracy today on a weekend-long tour to meet and greet those throughout the 11th Congressional District.
McNerney, who won 53 percent of the votes Tuesday to unseat Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, will thank his supporters and listen to their concerns, spokesman Yoni Cohen said.
"He's very appreciative of the support that he's been shown in Tracy, and he looks forward to working for the people of Tracy."
Steve Reichgut of Tracy supported McNerney at the polls Tuesday and considers today's open house a nice gesture.
"I think it's good for him to say, 'I'm here to represent everyone in the district.' And if he does that, it will be a positive thing," Reichgut said.
McNerney accepted lots of congratulations and caught up on sleep over the past few days, Cohen said.
He expects the meet and greet, which will begin 5 p.m. at Anthony's Steakhouse, 430 W. Grant Line Road, to draw a full house. Appetizers will be served.
McNerney will host similar events in the East Bay after he returns from New Member Orientation in Washington next week.
"He's excited to get to work," Cohen said.MEET AND GREET:Congressman-elect Jerry McNerney will talk with his new constituents at an event today at Anthony's Steakhouse.
