GENERIC NAME: ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution
BRAND NAMES: Ciloxan
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics which includes levofloxacin (Levaquin), ofloxacin (Floxin), gatifloxacin (Tequin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), and others. Ciprofloxacin interferes with bacterial DNA uncoiling and replication, which ultimately leads to bacterial cell death. Ciprofloxacin, like other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, targets a wide range of bacteria. Targeted organisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the viridans group of Streptococcus. Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution was approved in March 1998.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Ophthalmic Solution 0.3%
STORAGE: Ciprofloxacin solution should be stored at room temperature, between 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F), or may be refrigerated and stored between 2 C to 8 C (36 F to 46 F). Protect from light.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution is prescribed for the treatment of ulcers on the eye surface (corneal ulcers) and bacterial infections of the eye.
DOSING: The dose for bacterial eye infections in adults and children 1 year old or greater is 1 to 2 drops every 2 hours in the infected eye for 2 days, followed by 1-2 drops every 4 hours for 5 days. For corneal ulcers in this population, instill 2 drops into the eye every 15 minutes for 6 hours, followed by 2 drops every 30 minutes for the rest of day 1. On day 2, 2 drops should be used every hour, followed by 2 drops every 4 hours on days 3 to 14.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: There are no known significant drug interactions with ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution.
PREGNANCY: Use during pregnancy has not been adequately evaluated. Ophthalmic use may lead to some systemic absorption, so caution should be used.
NURSING MOTHERS: Oral and IV ciprofloxacin passes into breast milk. Ophthalmic use may lead to some absorption into the body, so caution should be used in nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: It is common to have white crust or crystals (precipitate) into the eye or on the eyelid during treatment; they dissolve in a few weeks. Other common side effects include an unpleasant taste in the mouth immediately after instilling the drop, redness, burning, numbness, itching, or discomfort of the eye, or the sensation that something is in the eye. The eye can also appear tired, stained, or swollen.
REFERENCE: FDA Prescribing Information.

Members of both NHS's faculty as well as current students who participate in the Link Crew program, which started at NHS three years ago, led small groups of students on tours around the school, both welcoming them and easing any of their fears about high school.

Every week my email inbox is overflowing with marketing emails that, for the most part, are not very interesting. But a few weeks ago I got an email from the guys at LearnWebDevelopment.com that really caught my attention. I met these guys at a conference last year, and they invited me to check out their program. After spending some time with them and exchanging a slew of emails, I realized they had a pretty unique program, and this was something my readers would be interested in.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I want to be extremely transparent with my readers. Because I'm such a fan of their product I've partnered with them to be an affiliate to help promote their training. They offer a great product and I will receive compensation from them if you purchase their training, so it's a win-win for everyone.Read More

(via fluorests)
one of the most important lessons I've learned(via freakfromthefuture)
Gender-bent Disney princes make meaningful point about the fluidity of gender
To combat the strict stereotypes that Disney princes and princesses represent, some geniuses at Imgur have started swapping the genders of Disney characters. Genderbent Disney shows that Disney clearly gets a little lazy when it comes to reusing their character molds, making it surprisingly easy to look more feminine. To make a male character look more classically feminine, for example, all you need to do is round the chin, soften the jaw and make the nose a little slimmer.
But with the simplicity of these alterations — a few millimeters of nose, a different hairstyle — Disney accidentally makes a meaningful point about the fluidity of gender expression.

Mayor to Discuss Making Merger Work
Thursday June 5, 2003
Mayor Jerry Abramson will take the story of merger to a national stage this weekend, addressing the U.S. Conference of Mayors' spring meeting.
Abramson is the luncheon speaker this Saturday as part of the three-day conference in Denver attended by hundreds of mayors and city leaders from across the country.
"This conference is an important opportunity to tell the story of how we're making merger work in this community, shining a national spotlight on our successes," Abramson said. "A week rarely goes by without a call from some city or community looking to learn about our merger experience."
At the same time, Abramson said the conference gives him the chance to discuss the challenges other communities are facing and get a perspective on different approaches and solutions to common problems.
As mayor of the former city of Louisville from 1985-1998, Abramson was active in the U.S. Conference of Mayors and was president of the organization in 1993-1994. He also received the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Distinguished Public Service Award, which has been given to only 13 others in 50 years.
Abramson's speech provides an update on merger efforts in the past six months, including his top priority to secure federal funding for an integrated communications system – the MetroSafe Communications Network -- for the different emergency responders in the community. The first Homeland Security appropriation to Kentucky totaled $9 million. Of that amount, Abramson said, Louisville received less than $200,000.
Abramson has earmarked $10 million for the MetroSafe Network, which could cost as much as $50 million.
"The most important new initiative in my budget relates to merger and to changing times – new security challenges in the post 9/11 era," Abramson says in his address. "As we brought Louisville's public safety agencies together, it was clear we needed an integrated communications and emergency dispatch network . . . Departments had been buying equipment piecemeal, from radios to mobile display terminals."
Abramson also makes the point that cities – metropolitan areas – are key economic engines for regions, and by extension, for the country.
"I believe that when our metro economies prosper, our nation prospers," Abramson says in the speech. "For that reason, our national economic policy needs to address the economic health and competitiveness of metro economies. That's a crucial message we need to work on spreading – to the public, to federal and state officials."

This time was different. We started our ski days with 1/2 day of ski lessons, which was worth every penny. After that, we were, remarkably, cut loose on the mountain. Some thoughts:
- Altitude AIN'T fun. Having to stop mid-staircase to catch your breath? A pain in the ass. But returning home and running your "long" run without getting winded is a gift.
- Kids are remarkably resilient and superfast learners. They all schooled me on the slopes. Presumably because of their lack of fear and their flexible bones.
- Traveling with a youth group isn't like traveling with your family. It's basically a week-long camping trip. No exploring the high-end restaurants and bars in the precious town. Also, many of the kids will burn through their money in the first 2 days. Be prepared to make pb&Js for these poor planners.
- Another way youth group travel is like camping: sleeping arrangements. If a condo sleeps 8, they mean: sleeps 8 if you're sharing a couch-bed with 2 more people.
- Ya'll, Kansas is HUGE. And WINDY. Death-defying in a church bus.

Van As had been told that prosthetic fingers, such as the X-Finger, would cost him at least $10,000 per finger replaced, so he set about in his workshop trying to design his own.The thing is, if these guys tried to market a cheap prosthetic hand for everyone, it seems like if it counted as a "medical device" there might be huge barriers to getting it to market. I'm not sure (It could be that you could sell it as a "non" medical device, just something that happens to help people with missing limbs)

Legislative attorneys wrote in their analysis that the prospect of federal agents being arrested for attempting to enforce federal laws was "chilling" and that a court would find a "high probability" the proposal violates the supremacy and commerce clauses.

Getting Run Over on the Spectrum Superhighway
Media groups may soon become casualties in the 'platform wars' or run over on the spectrum superhighways unless they are careful. That's the gist of a series of reports from research firms, industry analysts AND the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom.
The 'platform wars' phrase comes from a report by the Forrester research group which says – get this – Microsoft is "winning the battle" for TV supremacy. The 'spectrum superhighways' phrase comes from the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology. A similar report from Britain's House of Lords (seriously, the House of Lords) Select Committee on Communications goes even farther. It calls for television to be delivered completely on the Internet. "This may be a more sensible arrangement as spectrum is perfectly suited to mobile applications," the report says. Interestingly, or oddly, depending on your point of view, this is even though the report acknowledges that one out of every six adults in the UK have never been online. The numbers are similar in the US.
Humorously, or oddly, again depending on your point of view, the US report says that while, yes, it's true that the federal government uses lots of spectrum, "clearing just one 95MHz band… would take 10 years, cost some $18 Billion and cause significant disruption." Surprise. Surprise.
So, to reach the goal set by the President of freeing up 500 MHz of spectrum for commercial use in ten years, the report says the best option is to "share" the spectrum paths. This is where the 'superhighways' analogy comes in. The report likens the situation to that facing the country in 1939 when FDR was president and another commission recommended the building of Interstate highways. This report argues that, just like the Interstates, spectrum can be set up with "the wireless equivalents of signals, sensors and stop lights to avoid collision."
Regardless what either government does, or thinks it will do, the fact is that the system of delivering content — the 'platforms' — is going to change the media landscape significantly in the next ten years. The amount of global mobile data has doubled every year for the last four years. The number of mobile devices today is put at 5 Billion today but is expected to reach as much as 50 Billion by 2020. Remember – there are 'only' 7 Billion people in the whole world, and I suspect that many of those in third world countries are not on the Internet.
An eMarketer report said the "Big Four" on-line are Amazon, Google, Facebook and YouTube. Of course, the "Big Four" on-air are ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. Which one of them will make it to the "Final Four."
Well, add another twist to that. A report by Forrester Research says the 'spoiler' in all this is Microsoft. Its Xbox 360 is the most-watched net-connected TV device in the U S, and "soon the world." Holy Mackerel! It says there are 32 Million consumer households watching online video on a TV in the US, with 18.4 Million using a game console. Of those, most are using the Xbox 360 which the report calls a "disruptive onslaught." Here's the critical line in the report that I suggest you all think about: "Each combatant has a consumer device strategy, to be sure, but it's their platform strategies that will determine the TV winner in the long term."
Which brings me back to the so-called "Smart TVs." Technically, they are called IPTVs – Internet Protocol Television. There are twice as many of them this year than last. According to Nielsen, of the TVs in use, one out of 20 (4.7%) last year were IPTVs. As of February of this year, that percentage had more than doubled to 10.4%. BUT only 5% of that10.4% actually used the Internet capability. Now, my high school algebra teacher always gave me a hard time about my math skills, so I may be wrong — but the way I calculate this, that means only five out of every thousand television viewers are watching online video on their TVs. The figures are pretty much the same in the U.K. study as well.
But don't write them off yet. A survey by consulting firm McKinsey of IPTV use in the UK and France says there are serious questions about their use and appeal. It echoes the US numbers with about a tenth buying Smart TV's and only three percent actually using the function. They call the response in those countries as "lukewarm" at best. BUT (you will notice it's in capital letters again), it projects IPTV sales to grow by 70% a year, and that they have the 'potential' to be 'breakthrough.'
Now, if you're a traditional broadcaster, you "know" you don't need to worry. After all, as a story on the RapidTVNews site so aptly put it, being a couch potato is almost a full-time job. Why? Because another Nielsen study says Americans spend 35 hours a week just watching television. No Internet TV. Just TV. Local News-Two and a Half Men-Network News-American Idol-TV. After all, a study by a group called the Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement (CIMM) and comScore says 90% of consumers watch TV on a traditional set.
Oh, well, yes, it's true that the report also shows that nearly two-thirds (60%) of "media companies' viewers" were doing something online at the same time they watched TV. Another group, Futuresource Consulting, found similar figures but they also found that four out of five (85%) of 16 to 18 year olds used an "interactive device" while watching TV. And, well, yes, there are reports from firms like IMS Research that show a third (30%) of consumers want to buy a TV with Internet connection. And, well, yes, it's true that a Harris Interactive poll found that streaming video apps are the most popular apps for the owners of web-connected TVs and non-web-connected places. And, well yes, it's true that sites Huffington Post are starting their own online video news services. But you professional broadcasters don't have to worry… do you?

Hiroshi Yamauchi, who ran Nintendo for more than 50 years and led the Japanese company's transition from traditional playing-card maker to video-game giant, has died. He was 85.
Kyoto-based Nintendo said Yamauchi, who was also known for owning the Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball club, died Thursday of pneumonia at a hospital in central Japan.
Yamauchi was Nintendo president from 1949 to 2002, and engineered the company's global growth, including developing the early Family Computer consoles and Game Boy portables.
Nintendo, which makes Super Mario and Pokemon games as well as the Wii U home console, was founded in 1889.
Reputed as a visionary and among the richest men in Japan, Yamauchi made key moves such as employing the talents of Shigeru Miyamoto, a global star of game design and the brainchild of Nintendo hits such as Super Mario and Donkey Kong.
A dropout of the prestigious Waseda University in Tokyo, Yamauchi exhibited a kind of disarming spontaneity rare among Japanese executives, with is raspy voice and tendency to speak informally in his native Kyoto dialect.
RELATED: Full games coverage by The Times
Yamauchi had little interest in baseball, but was approached to buy the Mariners, who may have had to move to Florida without a new backer. The acquisition in 1992 made the Seattle club the first in the major leagues to have foreign ownership. Yamauchi sold the Mariners to Nintendo's U.S. unit in 2004.
After being succeeded at the helm of Nintendo by Satoru Iwata, Yamauchi stayed on as an advisor, but his role increasingly diminished over the years.
The company has floundered in the last couple of years, hurt by a strong yen and competition from games on smartphones and tablets.

STURTEVANT, WI (WTAQ) - The last of 74 malnourished animals taken from a farm in Racine County has found a new home for the New Year.
Pedro and Michelle Rivera, who own a wellness center for animals in Sturtevant, have adopted a black and white-spotted pony named Maximus. They plan to use the animal to help teach equine spinal manipulation techniques to veterinarians and other animal health professionals.
The pony was the last of 23 horses and 51 other abused animals taken in April from a farm at Pleasant Prairie in Kenosha County.
The farm's owners are facing charges of mistreating animals while causing death.

(WHAS11) -- A child's happiness is priceless, especially on a birthday, but kids' demands and peer pressure from other parents can turn a little party into a budget buster. Good Morning Kentuckiana's Andy Treinen has today's Consumer Watch.
If you're looking for tips to curb some costs and maybe teach your children some important lessons along the way, look no farther.
Party stores are packed with dozens of themes and hundreds of birthday items.
"For girls, Disney princesses are huge," David Muhlbaum from Kiplinger's Personal Finance, said.
"For boys all the superheroes from the latest blockbuster hits like Superman, Iron Man, the Avengers," Muhlbaum, explained.
Birthday blowouts can cost big bucks. Kiplinger's Personal Finance said parents can save money before the party starts. Let children make their own invitations, or send them via email. Another thing you can do at home for less money is to keep food and cake simple and don't go overboard on party favors.
A fun activity can be a takeaway that guests make themselves. "You can spend a lot of money on party favors, but a lot of times the fun is in having the kids put together the party favors," Muhlbaum, said. One inexpensive trend these days are candy buffets. "Parents are sort of picking and choosing a few key colors of their party design, and then designing an entire candy display based on those colors," Muhlbaum, said.
Another way to save some money along the way is to party plan proactively. Skip the roller rink or play center, for a more affordable venue. "There's a lot of things often in your own community from something as simple as going to the park to ice rinks," Muhlbaum, said.
Including your child in the party planning can also be a learning opportunity. "This is a prime opportunity for you to lay out what the cost is. They may realize, maybe I'll just settle for something else, but helping them with the dollars and cents, this is a great opportunity," Muhlbaum, said.
It's also a birthday gift that keeps on giving. If you have a consumer issue you'd like us to look into send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
