The evidence for the trial of George Zimmerman is slowly taking form. Yesterday, a medical report was disclosed by the family physician of George Zimmerman where the doctor found a “closed fracture” of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Trayvon Martin. While this is the family physician, it would still constitute important evidence in claiming self-defense, particularly when combined with accounts from the paramedics that found injuries to Zimmerman. An autopsy report released today also revealed bruises on Martin’s knuckles, consistent with a fight (though they could be bruises sustained in self-defense). In the meantime, the Justice Department has indicated that it may bring hate crime charges against Zimmerman — charges that would be questionable on the current evidence that has been made public in the case.
The prosecution is likely to explore any differences between the paramedics and the doctor. Some issues are likely to be raise such as whether the paramedics saw a broken nose and whether such “closed fractures” can be easily missed by a paramedic on an street at night. Moreover, such injuries could be sustained by Zimmerman as a result of Martin defending himself.
The leak of possible civil rights charges may be designed to try to get Zimmerman to accept a plea with prosecutors. I have reservations about such a charge based on the evidence that is available — as I have expressed over the overcharging in the case as second degree murder. This case has already raised serious questions of the influence of public pressure on the prosecutors. While there may be additional evidence that would support such a hate crime charge, the current evidence, in my view, falls short of the threshold showing needed for such a charge. The crime is defined as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.” The “in part” component gives some wiggle room for prosecutors but you need to still show clear intent on the race issue. While state courts have rejected the need under state law for race to be the “primary” factor, there remains unease in cases where race appears a secondary issue. The Justice Department has sometimes moved against defendants who were acquitted of the same offense under state law as in the Pennsylvania case involving the death of a hispanic man. These cases raise serious questions of when trash talk reflects racial motivations.
We have seen the same type of claim under “Stand Your Ground” in mixed-race shootings without such hate crime allegations. I have previously express unease over the standard used for hate crime charges and the decision to pursue some cases while refusing to move on others with similar or stronger facts. This is a case that could be explained as a crime-obsessed as opposed to a race-obsessed neighborhood watch captain. Indeed, Zimmerman’s past violent record may indicate that he is prone to violence generally. There has been no new evidence revealed that shows that Zimmerman’s shooting was race motivated. His own mixed race background and injuries from the fight militate against such a charge. They certainly do not rule out such a charge, but more has to be shown in my view.
The case is already over-charged as second degree murder. If the Justice Department is going to bring a hate crime charge, it better have stronger evidence than we have seen from Angela Corey to support a second-degree murder charge. Corey was in my view clearly affected by the public pressure in the case in charging the case as second degree murder rather than manslaughter. I am equally troubled by Attorney General Eric Holder discussing the case in public speeches when his department is supposed to be conducting an unbiased review of the facts involving a man who has not been convicted of a crime.
The combination of the leak on the civil rights charges and Holder’s public statements leave the impression that the DOJ will not accept acquittal as an answer in the case if Zimmerman does prevail. The impression, in my view, diminishes the appearance of due process and fair trial for the accused.
What do you think?

FREEPORT — Highland set out to achieve three goals when the season began. The men's basketball team wanted a conference title, a Region IV title and a berth in the NJCAA Division I National Tournament. All three have been checked off the list for the first time since 2014. And when the Cougars take the court at nationals in Hutchinson, Kansas, on Monday, they’ll be back in the place they expected.
“Coach told us we were going to get on all three banners so that’s what we expected and that’s what happened,” Highland sophomore Giovonni Offard said. “We aren’t really surprised, but we’re grateful for it.”
Highland might have had enough talent to get back to this point a year ago, but it wasn’t the right mix of players. This team’s ability to get along and work well together is shown in the results.
“It’s been an amazing experience,” freshman Deang Deang said. “These guys I’m with every day, I love them like they’re my brothers.”
“The main thing has been chemistry,” sophomore D’Angelo Jackson said. “Outside of the basketball court we weren’t on good terms all the time (last year). Everybody was playing for themselves. That’s a huge difference. This year this team we all play our role.”
Perhaps most importantly for coach Tone Boyle, they’ve all come ready to work and improve since the start of the season.
“I think every coach will tell you the more time you spend coaching effort, the less time you spend coaching basketball and that stunts your growth,” Boyle said. “With this group, every single day they bring effort. That means every single day I get to coach and that just allows for growth through a whole season. With effort you can go as far as you want to go and as well as the guys want to listen.”
That effort has taken the No. 20-seeded Cougars back to Hutchinson where they’ll take on No. 13 St. Petersburg College in the first round of the national tournament Monday. The Titans (26-7) will present the challenge for which Highland has prepared.
“They’re big, they’re fast, they’re athletic, and they play that way,” Boyle said. “I’ve told the guys we’re preparing to compete at a national level and they’ve bought into that and they’ve done exactly what I’ve asked them. That’s what allowed us to compete and win at Three Rivers. It’s going to be the same story. As long as we stick to our plan and put ourselves where we can compete and hopefully get a win.”
If the Cougars are fortunate enough to advance, it'll probably be in another close battle like the one in which Highland had to grab the region and district championships. But the Cougars have grown accustomed to those kind of games.
"When the competition ramps up, we’re comfortable being in those close games and there’s not many teams who are going to run through the postseason into the national tournament blowing teams out by 20, 30 points," Boyle said. "The guys have done an awesome job keeping their composure and being used to that kind of fight. It’s prepared us to be involved in close games with very good teams, and we’ve been able to win a few of them here to get to the tournament."

NJ Bridge Scandal
Two former associates of Gov. Chris Christie do not have to hand over documents to a legislative committee investigating the traffic jam scandal engulfing the governor, a New Jersey judge ruled Wednesday.
Gov. Chris Christie on Friday defended a report by taxpayer-funded lawyers who cleared him of any involvement in closing lanes near the George Washington Bridge for political reasons, saying it “will stand the test of time.”
A law firm hired by New Jersey governor Chris Christie says the governor was not involved in a plot to create gridlock near the George Washington Bridge as part of a political retribution scheme.
WPHT’s Chris Stigall argued that problems with the dissemination of Hurricane Sandy relief funds will ultimately derail New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s Presidential ambitions.
Two of Gov. Chris Christie’s former aides are due in court next month for a hearing over whether they must provide information requested by a state legislative committee.
Some northern New Jersey residents have returned to the scene of a notorious traffic jam.
More subpoenas are expected to be issued by a New Jersey legislative committee investigating a plot to create gridlock by blocking lanes near the George Washington Bridge.
Chris Stigall criticized the Newark Star-Ledger for apologizing for its endorsement of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie prior to his re-election last fall on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT Monday morning.
Ever since the Bridgegate probe began, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been the target of attacks from several high ranking Democrats. So it might surprise you that a local Democrat about to leave the political stage says he feels for the embattled governor.
New Jersey lawmakers investigating a political payback scandal ensnaring Gov. Chris Christie’s administration may need to get a judge to force two key figures to turn over subpoenaed documents.
The Republican governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate fielded questions for the first time in three weeks about a scandal that has engulfed his administration and threatened to upend any political ambitions.
Gov. Chris Christie’s re-election campaign is asking permission to exceed New Jersey’s election spending cap to pay lawyers handling subpoenas issued in an investigation of a political payback scandal.
In a letter released to The New York Times, attorney Alan Zegas is demanding that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey reconsider paying the legal costs of his client, former authority manager David Wildstein.
Gov. Chris Christie’s office has agreed to pay $650 per hour to the lawyer representing the governor’s office in a traffic jam scandal. And the lawyer says that’s a discount.
The New Jersey state legislature has formed a new joint bi-partisan committee to investigate the George Washington Bridge scandal.

One of my favorites of all time is slowly taking her time making a reemergence. The tortured soul singer known as Fiona Apple is a force to be reckoned with. Her voice is just so damn perfect its almost too good. Here she is taking her turn at a cover of the ledgendary jazz and Broadway composer Cy Colemans "Why Try to Change Me Now" for his upcoming tribute cd.
Her version of it is stellar. I will be patiently waiting for the day you come back and hit us with a new album. Trust me the world is ready for more of you Fiona.

NUROMOL 200MG/500MG TABLETS
Active substance(s): IBUPROFEN / PARACETAMOL
NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Nuromol 200mg/500mg tablets
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each tablet contains ibuprofen 200 mg and paracetamol 500 mg.
For a full list of excipients see section 6.1
White to off-white, oval shaped, pearlescent tablets de-bossed with an identifying helix.
For the temporary relief of mild to moderate pain associated with migraine, headache,
backache, period pain, dental pain, rheumatic and muscular pain, pain of non-serious arthritis,
cold and flu symptoms, sore throat and fever. This product is especially suitable for pain
which requires stronger analgesia than ibuprofen or paracetamol alone.
Posology and method of administration
For short term-use only.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest
duration necessary to control symptoms (see section 4.4).
The patient should consult a doctor if the symptoms persist or worsen or if the product is
required for more than 3 days.
Adults: One tablet to be taken up to three times per day with water. Leave at least six hours
If the one tablet dose does not control symptoms, a maximum of two tablets may be taken up
to three times a day. Leave at least six hours between doses.
Do not take more than six tablets (3000mg Paracetamol, 1200mg Ibuprofen) in any 24 hours
To minimise side effects, it is recommended that patients take Nuromol with food.
Elderly: No special dosage modifications are required (see section 4.4).
The elderly are at increased risk of the serious consequences of adverse reactions. If an
NSAID is considered necessary, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest
possible duration. The patient should be monitored regularly for gastrointestinal bleeding
during NSAID therapy.
Not for use by children under 18 years.
Method of Administration
For oral administration
This product is contraindicated:
In patients with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen, paracetamol or any other
excipients in the product.
In concomitant use with other Paracetamol-containing products – increased risk of
serious adverse effects (see Section 4.5).
In patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. bronchospasm,
angioedema, asthma, rhinitis, or urticaria) associated with acetylsalicylic acid or other
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
In patients with Active, or a history of recurrent peptic ulcer/haemorrhage (two or
more distinct episodes of proven ulceration or bleeding).
In patients with a history of, or an existing gastrointestinal ulceration/perforation or
bleeding, including that associated with NSAIDs (see Section 4.4).
Patients with defects in coagulation.
In patients with severe hepatic failure, severe renal failure or severe heart failure
(NYHA Class IV) (see Section 4.4).
In concomitant use with other NSAID containing products, including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) specific inhibitors and doses of acetylsalicylic acid above
75 mg daily – increased risk of adverse reactions (see Section 4.5).
During the last trimester of pregnancy due to risk of premature closure of the foetal
ductus arteriosus with possible pulmonary hypertension (see Section 4.6)
Special warnings and precautions for use
Do not exceed the recommended dose.
If symptoms persist consult your doctor.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
The hazards of paracetamol overdose are greater in patients with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver
disease. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if the
patient feels well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest
duration necessary to control symptoms (see Section 4.2, and gastrointestinal and
cardiovascular risks below) and by patients taking the dose with food (see Section 4.2).
The elderly have an increased frequency of adverse reactions to NSAIDs especially
gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation which may be fatal (see Section 4.2).
Caution is required in patients with certain conditions:
In patients suffering from, or with a history of, bronchial asthma or allergic disease
NSAIDs have been reported to precipitate bronchospasm.
SLE and mixed connective tissue disease:
In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and mixed connective tissue disease
disorders there may be an increased risk of aseptic meningitis (see Section 4.8).
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects
Appropriate monitoring and medical advice are required for patients with a history of
hypertension and/or mild to moderate congestive heart failure as fluid retention,
hypertension and oedema have been reported in association with NSAID therapy.
Clinical studies suggest that use of ibuprofen, particularly at a high dose (2400 mg/day)
may be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (e.g.
myocardial infarction or stroke). Overall, epidemiological studies do not suggest that low
dose ibuprofen (e.g. ≤1200mg/day) is associated with an increased risk of arterial
Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure (NYHA II-III),
established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and/or cerebrovascular
disease should only be treated with ibuprofen after careful consideration and high doses
(2400 mg/day) should be avoided. Careful consideration should be exercised before
initiating long-term treatment for patients with risk factors for cardiovascular events (e.g.
hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking) particularly if high doses of
ibuprofen (2400 mg/day) are required.
Cardiovascular, renal and hepatic impairment:
The administration of NSAIDs may cause a dose dependent reduction in prostaglandin
formation and precipitate renal failure. Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those
with impaired renal function, cardiac impairment, liver dysfunction, those taking diuretics
and the elderly. Renal function should be monitored in these patients (see Section 4.3).
NSAIDS should be given with care to patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease
(ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease) as these conditions may be exacerbated (see section
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, ulceration and perforation, which can be fatal, has been
reported with all NSAIDs at any time during treatment, with or without warning
symptoms or a previous history of serious GI events.
The risk of GI bleeding, ulceration or perforation is higher with increasing NSAID doses,
in patients with a history of ulcer, particularly if complicated with haemorrhage or
perforation (see Section 4.3) and in the elderly. These patients should commence
treatment on the lowest dose available. Combination therapy with protective agents (e.g.
misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors) should be considered for these patients, and also
for patients requiring concomitant low dose acetylsalicylic acid, or other drugs likely to
increase gastrointestinal risk (see below and 4.5).
Patients with a history of GI toxicity, particularly the elderly, should report any unusual
abdominal symptoms (especially GI bleeding) particularly in the initial stages of
Caution should be advised in patients receiving concomitant medications which could
increase the risk of ulceration or bleeding, such as oral corticosteroids, anticoagulants
such as warfarin selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors or antiplatelet agents such as
acetylsalicylic acid (see Section 4.5).
When GI bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients receiving ibuprofen containing
products, the treatment should be withdrawn.
Serious skin reactions, some of them fatal, including exfoliative dermatitis, StevensJohnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been reported very rarely in
association with the use of NSAIDs (see Section 4.8). Patients appear to be at highest risk
of these reactions early in the course of therapy, the onset of the reaction occurring in the
majority of cases within the first month of treatment. Use of this product should be
discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or any other sign of
Impaired female fertility:
There is limited evidence that drugs which inhibit cyclo-oxygenase/prostaglandin
synthesis may impair female fertility by an effect on ovulation and is not recommended in
women attempting to conceive. This is reversible on withdrawal of treatment. In women
who have difficulties conceiving or who are undergoing investigation of infertility,
withdrawal of the product should be considered.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
This product (like any other paracetamol containing products) is contraindicated in
combination with other paracetamol containing products – increased risk of serious adverse
effects (see Section 4.3).
This product (like any other ibuprofen containing products and NSAIDs) is contraindicated
in combination with:
Acetylsalicylic acid: Concomitant administration of ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid
is not generally recommended because of the potential of increased adverse effects,
unless low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (not above 75 mg daily) has been advised by a
doctor (see Section 4.4).
Experimental data suggest that Ibuprofen may competitively inhibit the effect of low
dose acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation when they are dosed concomitantly.
Although there are uncertainties regarding extrapolation of these data to the clinical
situation, the possibility that regular, long-term use of ibuprofen may reduce the
cardioprotective effect of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid cannot be excluded. No
clinically relevant effect is considered to be likely for occasional ibuprofen use (see
Other NSAIDs including cyclo-oxygenase-2 selective inhibitors as these may
increase the risk of adverse effects (see Section 4.3).
This product (like any other paracetamol containing products) should be used with caution in
Cholestyramine: The speed of absorption of paracetamol is reduced by
cholestyramine. Therefore, cholestyramine should not be taken within one hour if
maximal analgesia is required.
Metoclopramide and Domperidone: The absorption of paracetamol is increased by
metoclopramide and domperidone. However, concurrent use need not be avoided.
Warfarin: The anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other coumarins may be enhanced
by prolonged regular use of paracetamol with increased risk of bleeding; occasional
doses have no significant effect.
This product (like any other ibuprofen containing products and NSAIDs) should be used
with caution in combination with:
Anticoagulants: NSAIDs may enhance the effects of anticoagulants, i.e. warfarin (see
Antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin II Antagonists) and diuretics:
NSAIDs may reduce the effects of these drugs. In some patients with compromised
renal function (e.g. dehydrated patients or elderly patients with compromised renal
function) the co-administration of an ACE inhibitor or Angiotensin II antagonist and
agents that inhibit cyclo-oxygenase may result in further deterioration of renal
function, including possible acute renal failure, which is usually reversible. These
interactions should be considered in patients taking a coxib concomitantly with ACE
inhibitors or angiotensin II antagonists. Therefore, the combination should be
administered with caution, especially in the elderly. Patients should be adequately
hydrated and consideration should be given to monitoring of renal function after
initiation of concomitant therapy, and periodically thereafter. Diuretics may increase
the risk of nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs.
Antiplatelet agents and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): Increased risk
of gastrointestinal bleeding (see Section 4.4).
Cardiac glycosides: NSAIDs may exacerbate cardiac failure, reduce GFR and
increase plasma glycoside levels.
Ciclosporin: Increased risk of nephrotoxicity.
Corticosteroids: Increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding (see
Lithium: Decreased elimination of lithium.
Methotrexate: Decreased elimination of methotrexate.
Mifepristone: NSAIDs should not be used for 8-12 days after mifepristone
administration as NSAIDs can reduce the effect of mifepristone.
Quinolone antibiotics: Animal data indicate that NSAIDs can increase the risk of
convulsions associated with quinolone antibiotics. Patients taking NSAIDs and
quinolones may have an increased risk of developing convulsions.
Tacrolimus: Possible increased risk of nephrotoxicity when NSAIDs are given with
Zidovudine: Increased risk of haematological toxicity with NSAIDS are given with
zidovudine. There is evidence of an increased risk of haemarthroses and haematoma
in HIV (+) haemophiliacs receiving concurrent treatment with zidovudine and
Pregnancy and lactation
There is no experience of use of this product in humans during pregnancy.
Congenital abnormalities have been reported in association with NSAID administration in
man; however these are low in frequency and do not appear to follow any discernible pattern.
In view of the known affects of NSAIDs on the foetal cardiovascular system (risk of closure
of ductus arteriosus), use in the last trimester is contraindicated. The onset of labour may be
delayed and duration increased with an increased bleeding tendency in both mother and child
(see Section 4.3). NSAIDs should not be used during the first two trimesters of pregnancy or
labour unless the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the potential risk to the foetus.
Epidemiological studies in human pregnancy have shown no ill effects due to paracetamol use
at the recommended dosage.
Therefore if possible, the use of this product should be avoided in the first six months of
pregnancy and contraindicated in the last three months of pregnancy (see Section 4.3).
Ibuprofen and its metabolites can pass in very small amounts (0.0008% of the maternal dose)
into the breast milk. No harmful effects to infants are known.
Paracetamol is excreted in breast milk but not in a clinically significant amount. Available
published data do not contraindicate breastfeeding.
Therefore it is not necessary to interrupt breastfeeding for short-term treatment with the
recommended dose of this product.
See Section 4.4 regarding female fertility.
Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Undesirable effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and visual disturbances are possible
after taking NSAIDs. If affected patients should not drive or operate machinery.
Clinical trials with this product have not indicated any other undesirable effects other than
those for ibuprofen or paracetamol alone.
The following table lists adverse effects from pharmacovigilance data experienced by patients
taking ibuprofen alone or paracetamol alone in short-term and long-term use.
Adverse events which have been associated with Ibuprofen alone or Paracetamol alone are
given below, tabulated by system organ class and frequency. Frequencies are defined as: very
common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 to <1/10), uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100), rare
(≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000), very rare (<1/10,000) and not known (cannot be estimated from the
available data). Within each frequency grouping, adverse events are presented in order of
System Organ Class

Description of Selected Adverse Reactions
Examples include agranulocytosis, anaemia, aplastic anaemia, haemolytic anaemia
leucopenia, neutropenia, pancytopenia and thrombocytopenia.
First signs are fever, sore throat, superficial mouth ulcers, flu-like symptoms, severe
exhaustion, unexplained bleeding and bruising and nose bleeding.
Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These may consist of (a) non-specific allergic
reactions and anaphylaxis, (b) respiratory tract activity, e.g. asthma, aggravated asthma,
bronchospasm or dyspnoea, or (c) various skin reactions, including rashes of various types,
pruritus, urticaria, purpura, angioedema and, more rarely, exfoliative and bullous dermatoses
(including toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and erythema multiforme).
The pathogenic mechanism of drug-Induced aseptic meningitis is not fully understood.
However, the available data on NSAID-related aseptic meningitis points to a hypersensitivity
reaction (due to a temporal relationship with drug intake, and disappearance of symptoms
after drug discontinuation). Of note, Single cases of aseptic meningitis in patients with
existing autoimmune disorders (such as systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective
tissue disease) during treatment with Ibuprofen, with symptoms such as: stiff neck, headache,
nausea, vomiting, fever or disorientation have been observed (see Section 4.4).
Clinical studies suggest that use of ibuprofen particularly at high a dose (2400mg/day) may
be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (for example
myocardial infarction or stroke) (see section 4.4).
The adverse events observed most often are gastrointestinal in nature.
Sometimes fatal, particularly in the elderly.
See section 4.4.
In overdose Paracetamol can cause acute hepatic failure, hepatic failure, hepatic necrosis and
liver injury (see Section 4.9).
Especially in long-term use, associated with increased serum urea and oedema.
Also includes papillary necrosis.
Reporting of Suspected Adverse Reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is
important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.
Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow
Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.
Liver damage is possible in adults who have taken 10 g (equivalent to 20 tablets) or more of
paracetamol. Ingestion of 5 g (equivalent to 10 tablets) or more of paracetamol may lead to
liver damage if the patient has one or more of the risk factors below:
Is on long term treatment with carbamazepine, phenobarbitone, phenytoin, primidone,
rifampicin, St John's Wort or other drugs that induce liver enzymes.
Regularly consumes alcohol in excess of recommended amounts.
Is likely to be glutathione depleted e.g. eating disorders, cystic fibrosis, HIV
infection, starvation, cachexia
Symptoms of paracetamol overdose in the first 24 hours include pallor, nausea, vomiting,
anorexia and abdominal pain. Liver damage may become apparent 12 to 48 hours after
ingestion as liver function tests become abnormal. Abnormalities of glucose metabolism and
metabolic acidosis may occur. In severe poisoning, hepatic failure may progress to
encephalopathy, haemorrhage, hypoglycaemia, cerebral oedema and death. Acute renal
failure with acute tubular necrosis, strongly suggested by loin pain, haematuria and
proteinuria, may develop even in the absence of severe liver damage. Cardiac arrhythmias and
pancreatitis have been reported.
Immediate treatment is essential in the management of paracetamol overdose. Despite a lack
of significant early symptoms, patients should be referred to hospital urgently for immediate
medical attention. Symptoms may be limited to nausea or vomiting and may not reflect the
severity of overdose or the risk of organ damage. Management should be in accordance with
established treatment guidelines.
Treatment with activated charcoal should be considered if the overdose has been taken within
1 hour. Plasma paracetamol concentration should be measured at 4 hours or later after
ingestion (earlier concentrations are unreliable).
Treatment with N-acetylcysteine may be used up to 24 hours after ingestion of paracetamol
however; the maximum protective effect is obtained up to 8 hours post ingestion. The
effectiveness of the antidote declines sharply after this time.
If required the patient should be given intravenous-N-acetylcysteine, in line with the
established dosage schedule. If vomiting is not a problem, oral methionine may be a suitable
alternative for remote areas, outside hospital.
Patients who present with serious hepatic dysfunction beyond 24 hours from ingestion should
be managed in accordance with established guidelines.
In children ingestion of more than 400 mg/kg of Ibuprofen may cause symptoms. In adults the
dose response effect is less clear cut.
The half-life in overdose is 1.5-3 hours.
Most patients who have ingested clinically important amounts of NSAIDs will develop no
more than nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, or more rarely diarrhoea. Tinnitus, headache and
gastrointestinal bleeding are also possible. In more serious poisoning, toxicity is seen in the
central nervous system, manifesting as drowsiness, occasionally excitation and disorientation
or coma. Occasionally patients develop convulsions. In serious poisoning metabolic acidosis
may occur and the prothrombin time / INR may be prolonged, probably due to interference
with the actions of circulating clotting factors. Acute renal failure and liver damage may
occur if there is a co-incident of dehydration. Exacerbation of asthma is possible in
Management should be symptomatic and supportive and include the maintenance of a clear
airway and monitoring of cardiac and vital signs until stable. Consider oral administration of
activated charcoal if the patient presents within 1 hour of ingestion of a potentially toxic
amount. If frequent or prolonged, convulsions should be treated with intravenous diazepam or
lorazepam. Give bronchodilators for asthma.
ATC Code: M01AE51 – Musculoskeletal system, anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic
products, non-steroids, propionic acid derivatives. Ibuprofen combinations.
The pharmacological actions of ibuprofen and paracetamol differ in their site and mode of
action. These complementary modes of action are synergistic which results in greater
antinociception and antipyresis than the single actives alone.
Ibuprofen is an NSAID that has demonstrated its efficacy in the common animal experimental
inflammation models by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins sensitise
nociceptive afferent nerve terminals to mediators such as bradykinin. Ibuprofen therefore
elicits an analgesic effect through peripheral inhibition of the cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2)
isoenzyme with a subsequent reduction in sensitisation of nociceptive nerve terminals.
Ibuprofen has also been shown to inhibit induced-leucocyte migration into inflamed areas.
Ibuprofen has a pronounced action within the spinal cord due, in part, to the inhibition of
COX. Ibuprofen’s antipyretic effects are produced by the central inhibition of prostaglandins
in the hypothalamus. Ibuprofen reversibly inhibits platelet aggregation. In humans, ibuprofen
reduces inflammatory pain, swellings and fever.
Experimental data suggest that ibuprofen may competitively inhibit the effect of low dose
acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation when they are dosed concomitantly. Some
pharmacodynamic studies show that when single doses of ibuprofen 400mg was taken within
8 h before or within 30 min after immediate release acetylsalicylic acid dosing (81mg), a
decreased effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the formation of thromboxane or platelet
aggregation occurred. Although there are uncertainties regarding extrapolation of these data
to the clinical situation, the possibility that regular, long-term use of ibuprofen may reduce the
cardioprotective effect of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid cannot be excluded. No clinically
relevant effect is considered to be likely for occasional ibuprofen use (see section 4.5).
Paracetamol’s exact mechanism of action is still not completely defined; however there is
considerable evidence to support the hypothesis of a central antinociceptive effect. Various
biochemical studies point to inhibition of central COX-2 activity. Paracetamol may also
stimulate the activity of descending 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) pathways that inhibit
nociceptive signal transmission in the spinal cord. Evidence has shown that paracetamol is a
very weak inhibitor of peripheral COX-1 and 2 isoenzymes.
The clinical efficacy of ibuprofen and paracetamol has been demonstrated in pain associated
with headache, toothache and dysmenorrhoea, and fever; furthermore efficacy has been
shown in patients with pain and fever associated with cold and influenza and in pain models
such as sore throat, muscular pain or soft tissue injury and backache.
This product is especially suitable for pain which requires stronger pain relief than ibuprofen
400 mg or paracetamol 1000 mg alone, and faster pain relief than ibuprofen.
Summary of 2 tablet clinical data
A randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled studies were conducted with the combination
using the acute pain model of post-operative dental pain. The studies show that:
This product provides more effective pain relief than paracetamol 1000 mg
(p<0.0001) and ibuprofen 400 mg (p< 0.05) which are clinically and statistically
This product has a fast onset of action with ‘confirmed perceptible pain relief’
achieved in a median of 18.3 minutes. The onset of action was significantly more
rapid than for ibuprofen 400 mg (23.8 minutes, p=0.0015). ‘Meaningful pain relief’
for this product was achieved in a median of 44.6 minutes, which was significantly
faster than for ibuprofen 400 mg (70.5 minutes, p<0.0001)..
Duration of analgesia was significantly longer for this product (9.1 hours) compared
to paracetamol 500 mg (4 hours) or 1000 mg (5 hours).
The global evaluation of the study medication by the subjects showed high levels of
satisfaction with 93.2% rating the product as ‘good’, ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ in
achieving pain relief. The fixed combination product performed significantly better
than paracetamol 1000 mg (p<0.0001).
A randomised, double-blind controlled clinical study was conducted with the product in the
treatment of chronic knee pain. The study showed that:
The product provides more effective pain relief than paracetamol 1000 mg in shortterm treatment (p<0.01) and long term treatment (p<0.01).
The global evaluation of the product by the subjects showed high levels of
satisfaction with 60.2% rating the product as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ as a long term
treatment for a painful knee. The product performed significantly better than
paracetamol 1000 mg (p<0.001).
Ibuprofen is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is extensively bound to plasma
proteins. Ibuprofen diffuses into the synovial fluid. Plasma levels of ibuprofen from this
product are detected from 5 minutes with peak plasma concentrations achieved within
1-2 hours after ingestion on an empty stomach. When this product was taken with food peak
ibuprofen plasma levels were lower and delayed by a median of 25 minutes, but overall extent
of absorption was equivalent.
Ibuprofen is metabolised in the liver to two major metabolites with primary excretion via the
kidneys, either as such or as major conjugates, together with a negligible amount of
unchanged ibuprofen. Excretion by the kidney is both rapid and complete. The elimination
half-life is approximately 2 hours.
In limited studies, ibuprofen appears in the breast milk in very low concentrations.
No significant differences in ibuprofen pharmacokinetic profile are observed in the elderly.
Paracetamol is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Plasma protein binding is
negligible at usual therapeutic concentrations, although this is dose-dependent. Plasma levels
of paracetamol from this product are detected from 5 minutes with peak plasma
concentrations occurring at 0.5-0.67 hours after ingestion on an empty stomach. When this
product was taken with food peak paracetamol plasma levels were lower and delayed by a
median of 55 minutes, but overall extent of absorption was equivalent.
Paracetamol is metabolised in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly as the glucuronide
and sulphate conjugates, with about 10% as glutathione conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted
as unchanged paracetamol. The elimination half-life is approximately 3 hours.
A minor hydroxylated metabolite, which is usually produced in very small amounts by mixed
function oxidases in the liver and detoxified by conjugation with liver glutathione, may
accumulate following paracetamol overdose and cause liver damage.
No significant differences in the paracetamol pharmacokinetic profile are observed in the
The bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiles of ibuprofen and paracetamol taken as this
product are not altered when taken in combination as a single or repeat dose.
This product is formulated using a technology which releases both Ibuprofen and Paracetamol
simultaneously, so that the active ingredients deliver a combination effect.
Preclinical safety data
The toxicological safety profile of ibuprofen and paracetamol has been established in animal
experiments and in humans from extensive clinical experience. There are no new preclinical
data of relevance to the prescriber which are additional to the data already presented in this

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Tankless Water Heater Schematic. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day.

In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Tankless Water Heater Schematic. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated.

Just a month ago, Bollywood filmmaker and producer Karan Johar had shared a photograph on Instagram wherein Sonakshi Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha and Subhash Ghai were on the stage and Karan had just been presented with an award. While the photograph was funny, it was Karan's caption that made it funnier. He had written, “I have to thank @bachchan for sharing this with me! Remember this @aslisona ?? I have won an award but look like I ate the ceremony!!!! #majorthrowback #doublechinalert.”
And if that photo and Karan's caption weren't enough to crack you up, here's a video from that night which is sure to leave you in splits. In this video, which is nothing less than a goldmine for a true Bollywood buff, we get a glimpse of what had gone down before that particular photograph was clicked.
In the video, we see Sonakshi handing over the trophy to her dad and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, as she sets to announce the winner in the Best Director category. In a moment of haste, Shatrughan takes the mic from Subhash Ghai which appears more like he snatched the mic from him and an awkward Subhash goes on to clap even before the winner was announced. Later in the same video, we see Shatrughan creating a picture-perfect moment so that the shutterbugs could capture his daughter Sonakshi presenting an award to Karan and hilariously enough, it seems he pushed Subhash a little away in the act.
While Sonakshi looks way too adorable announcing the winner in Hindi, it's Karan, whose expressions in the video take away the cake. As Karan heads to collect his award on stage, several well-wishers and industry members including Karan's dad Yash Johar got up to hug and congratulate him. And while he might have known most of them, a kiss from a mustached man left Karan awkward and his expression is pure gold!
Oh and in case you missed out, the hosts of the evening were Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshaye Khanna.
Well, we couldn't have asked for a better Friday flashback!

If you are looking for a practical guide that not only explains what emotional intelligence is but also how to develop it in yourself, your teams, and your company, this book is it.
Emotional intelligence is often talked about and even understood, as knowing yourself well enough to respond to your team and surroundings sensitively, as opposed to reacting without empathy and unintentionally causing friction. However, as this book so deftly explains, there is much more to emotional intelligence than simple empathy and self-awareness. Fully faceted emotional intelligence starts with you, extends to those around you, and moves on to provide the ‘why’ of situations. It is this well rounded, holistic emotional intelligence that will be in high demand in the future of work. While technology may be able to replace some functions, understanding human emotion, responding intuitively rather than reacting, and collaborating with a range of different personalities is the key to innovation, growth, and motivation. These are inherently human traits. These skills aren’t exactly new, but they are becoming more critical as the world changes, and our workplaces change with it.
This book is full of useful examples, simple lessons, questions to guide you on your way, and a bunch of internet resources that will support your learning. It tells you what to do to build your emotional quotient (EQ), what NOT to do, and shows you how to do it.
PART ONE: DECISION MAKING
Broken into three parts, beginning with decision making, The Non-Obvious Guide to Emotional Intelligence explains the neuroscience behind EQ. In doing so, it gives you the tools necessary to circumvent the natural tendency to delegate decisions to your limbic brain and instead use your prefrontal cortex to respond creatively and innovatively to problems. Simply pausing can stop our limbic system and its fight/flight reaction from taking over when presented with challenging situations. By creating some distance between the perceived threat and our reaction, we allow ourselves the space needed to create an emotionally intelligent response.
Responses firmly rooted in well-rounded emotional intelligence allow for better decisions, help us see threats as opportunities, and create an environment that helps our teams to reach their goals.
Emotion, empathy, and compassion are only the beginning of EQ. EQ certainly begins with the heart, but it needs to move onto the high functioning area of our brain – the creative prefrontal cortex, not the ancient limbic system – and be backed with the courage to pause, ask questions, and admit we don’t always know the answers. This enables us to reach out to our community when needed, allay our fears, and engage in problem-solving activities effectively.
PART TWO: USING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE EFFECTIVELY
After being told to pause and take our time, the author concedes that pausing for too long can sometimes be just as detrimental to a company’s future as acting rashly. Part two of the book moves into agility and how emotional intelligence can be leveraged to enhance our ability to pivot and act nimbly when required.
Recognizing that we live in Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) times, with a barrage of information that can push us into high alert, emotional intelligence becomes ever more necessary to enable us to move beyond recurring problems and towards our goals.
Practicing recognition and labeling of emotion will help us become less attached to them and allow us to respond to disruptions in the workplace, rather than reacting. In responding, we can create a growth mindset that allows us to learn from our failures, reduce our fear of failure and thus innovate towards success.
Agility, as it relates to emotional intelligence, allows leaders to monitor their emotions as well as those of the people around them. This recognition can then be used to guide thinking and make better decisions. It can also be used to help us let go of strategies that no longer serve us, drop unhelpful perspectives, and can behaviors, ideas, and skills that aren’t taking us closer to our goals.
Self-regulation is at the core of emotionally intelligent agility, and it allows us to build environments in the workplace that support the emotional intelligence of our teams too. Helpfully, the book includes a mental agility course you can use to train your mind and build your EQ. Tips for planning your day to enhance emotional intelligence are also provided.
The framework for managing the fight/flight response of our limbic brain is laid out in clear and simple detail – prioritize the use of your prefrontal cortex by making time for high-level thinking at the start of the day. Decide what needs to be decided, sequence activities and decisions to work with your natural energy levels and expenditure, and finally, surround yourself with people who will tell it like it is rather than how they think you want to hear it.
PART THREE: DERAILERS AND RELATIONSHIPS
With this firm foundation in hand, we move on to relationships, the final part of the book where all the prior learning comes together in an exciting and motivational way. Understanding what the author calls our ‘derailers’ is the first part. Derailers are behaviors that move us away from our goals; understanding them can help us to rise above our flawed vi

She posted an image on Twitter this morning revealing what Ms Frankel, who is in the middle of a contentious divorce, was like as a teenager.
She captioned the Throwback Thursday image, which shows her with permed hair, a scrunchie on her wrist and a smattering of acne on her cheeks, with: 'Yes, I needed that giant scrunchie to tie back my ginormously teased hair'.

The nostalgic star seems to have found an affinity for flashback images, last week posting an even more embarrassing photo from her days at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she graduated from in 1988.
The picture shows the now chic businesswoman dressed in a tie-dye shirt worn over a white T-shirt, along with a white sweatband atop her head, her hair styled in pigtails.
'My college BFF is here… and she brought this gem,' Ms Frankel wrote on the caption.
Ms Frankel also shared a photo from her college years last week which showed her in a tie-dye shirt with her hair in pigtails held by colorful scrunchies
Ms Frankel may be in talks to front her own TV show with Andy Cohen, but the Real Housewives Of New York star, and now chic business woman, can still poke fun of herself
Ms Frankle isn't the only TV star to jump on the Throwback Thursday bandwagon.
Katie Couric posted an adorable image on herself as a young school girl earlier this morning.
'School pic! #tbt' wrote the 57-year-old television presenter on the Instagram image, which has had more than 500 'likes' from her fans.

With the old mural underneath the 63rd Drive Long Island Rail Road underpass in Rego Park fading away, plans for a new, more elaborate design are taking shape.
The Rego Park Green Alliance is planning to replace the aging mural painted by area children in 2009 with up to six new 4-by-6-foot boards attached to the underpass wall, containing photographs taken by Rego Park residents detailing the neighborhood’s past, present and future.
The process of remodeling the underpass will begin in January and is expected to be completed in June.
Rego Park Green Alliance Executive Director Yvonne Shortt sees the new design’s birth as something that can help bring about change in the community, much like the original mural did four years ago.
“The real story is not the faded mural; it’s that the mural brought about so much change around the underpass,” Shortt, a Rego Park resident herself, said. “We hope the new design will be a catalyst for change throughout Queens.”
In 2009, the LIRR underpass was transformed from dirty and dingy into something that had flair, as evidenced by the bright red and orange mural that read “REal GOod.”
Shortt says that, with the help of cooperating nearby businesses, the painting of the first mural by 250 area students helped transform the pedestrian walkway.
“People threw their garbage and food and even tires there. For years, it was really gross,” she said. “We worked with the small businesses from either side to clean up the garbage from their markets. The DOT paved the sidewalk. We got it done.”
Because the mural was painted with water-based paint, moisture from the concrete wall has caused it to significantly fade from its past eye-popping glory.
Beginning in January, the first phase of the design will include residents signing up on the Rego Park Green Alliance’s website to attend one of the 20 planned meetings, where they can sign out a camera provided by the group to take pictures of the area.
In May, painting over the old mural with grey, oil-based paint will begin. The painting will be done by 40 to 50 adults because Shortt says she “wouldn’t want kids dealing with the oil-based paint.”
In June, the pictures taken by residents will be added to the three boards and, along with three-dimensional redesigns of what Rego Park might look like in the future, will be attached to the freshly painted wall.
According to Shortt, the LIRR, which owns the wall of the underpass, has approved the project and will even supply the paint.
The project will cost around $10,000, according to Shortt, and will be funded by donations and sponsorships that the non-profit group is attempting to secure.
Once completed, Shortt hopes that the beautification process of this LIRR underpass and potentially others throughout the borough will help showcase the originality and beauty of Queens.
“I think Queens is very special and we have an opportunity to grow,” she said. “We want not to emulate Manhattan or Brooklyn, but to be our own center of beauty.”

Gary Grant, Founder and Chairman of The Entertainer, the fastest-growing, family-owned high street toy retailer in the UK, is calling on British retailers and shopping centres to offer improved in-store support to autistic shoppers.
Saturday, October 6 is the start of The National Autistic Society’s Autism Hour, an initiative sponsored by The Entertainer and designed to show businesses the simple steps they can take to improve the shopping experience for their autistic customers.
The Entertainer joined 5,000 retail outlets that supported The National Autistic Society’s Autism Hour in 2017 and successfully implemented its own Quiet Hour initiative earlier this year, which now sees every one of its stores turn off its music and take active steps to minimise all noise, including toy demonstrations, and where possible dim the lights, for the first hour of trading every Saturday and during the school holidays.
Following positive customer feedback and seeing the huge impact such a small change made to its autistic shoppers, The Entertainer came on board as the official sponsor for Autism Hour 2018, to raise awareness and encourage other retailers to make similar efforts to provide a more comfortable shopping experience for Autistic shoppers and their families.
Grant is now calling on all retailers – regardless of size – to support Autism Hour and consider regular adaptations to their store environments to accommodate those shoppers that require a calmer shopping experience.
He commented: “I’m delighted to hear that 10,000 retail outlets will participate in Autism Hour this year but there is more that can be done to support our Autistic shoppers and their families.
"We have a responsibility as retailers to create a more comfortable shopping environment for those with sensory needs. Autism Hour is a great time for retailers to see how simple these changes can be to implement and how significant the impact is for Autistic shoppers and their families. So, I’m calling on other retailers to support Autism Hour and to look at making this a regular commitment by introducing a Quiet Hour into the normal weekly cycle of retail, as we have done with our weekly Quiet Hour”.
For vlogger, author and podcaster, Kevin Chapman, it can be challenging shopping with his 14 year old autistic son, Andy.
“Shopping is a real challenge for our family – in fact, we didn’t take our son, Andy, shopping at all for almost 2 years after an incident when he got really distressed, took off his clothes and wouldn’t move from the floor.
"These days, he finds shopping a little easier, but we have to plan any trips with Andy in advance – he needs to know where we’re going, what we’re going for, and he counts down the amount of things we put in the trolley.
For us, Autism Hour is really great as it allows us to go out as a family together. We recently had a trip to our local The Entertainer store which runs a Quiet Hour every Saturday for the first hour of opening and it was noticeable how much easier Andy found the experience than a usual shopping trip.
"He walked up and down every aisle of the shop, something he never does and after we paid for his toys he headed back into the shop to find his mum and sister – he’d normally wait outside for them in situations like this.
"The biggest thing for our family though is how events like this raise awareness amongst the staff and other customers. The staff member who served us was very friendly and helpful to Andy, which is a huge part of making him feel more comfortable when he’s away from home.”
The National Autistic Society’s Autism Hour runs from Saturday 6 October to Saturday 13 October. Find out more about the National Autistic Society’s Autism Hour and how to get involved by visiting: www.autism.org.uk/AutismHour

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has raided the offices of Shinil Group, sending 27 investigators from its white-collar crime unit to search its premises on Tuesday on suspicions of possible ICO scam, The Korea Herald reported. The trigger was the launch of an initial coin offering (ICO) that Shinil backed with gold it claimed to have obtained through the discovery of Russian battleship Dmitri Donskoi, which sank in 1905 and was rumored to contain about $116 billion worth of gold.
The investigators searched several Shinil locations and confiscated evidence on suspicion that the company had fabricated the Russian treasure story to attract investors, according to the Korean news agency Yonhap.

Naomi Watts Shows Off Embroidered Floral Print Look Next To Partner Liev Schreiber On The SAG Awards Red Carpet!
What a unique dress pattern!
The embroidered floral print gown works well for the 47-year-old actress, who won herself a SAG Award last year but was just here to watch this time around.
The mother of two topped off the dress very well with a black satin waistband that breaks up the pattern just enough to make it all work.
Oh, and Schreiber — who is up for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for his work as part of the ensemble in Spotlight — looks pretty darn dapper himself!

Mercedes F1 W03 - revised rear wing 24 November 2012
In Brazil Mercedes have been busy experimenting for 2013, sampling a standard, non Coanda-style exhaust. They also decided to use this revised rear wing in qualifying and the race at Interlagos. It has a revised DRS control mechanism, as next season the DRS-operated 'F-duct' front wing the team currently use will be outlawed. Overall the innovative system has not delivered the benefits that were hoped for and has limited the evolution of the front wing.

Wall Street dropped on Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve frustrated investors hoping for a strong sign it might scale back future interest rate hikes because of recent financial and economic turmoil.
In a widely expected decision, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged and it said it was "closely monitoring" global economic and financial developments, but it maintained an otherwise upbeat view of the U.S. economy.
"It sounds like they are unimpressed with what has happened in the markets, that it has been insufficient to change their plans. That's the takeaway and it's why the market is going down," said Stephen Massocca, Chief Investment Officer of Wedbush Equity Management LLC in San Francisco.
Major stock indexes moved lower, reversing earlier gains driven by a jump in crude prices after Russia said it was discussing the possibility of cooperation with OPEC and U.S. data showed an increase in short-term demand.
The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 2.15 percent to 4,469.39.
Half of the 10 major S&P sectors were down, led by the tech sector's .SPLRCT 1.9 percent descent.
Apple's (AAPL.O) shares fell 6.3 percent after the iPhone maker reported its slowest-ever rise in shipments on Tuesday, while Boeing (BA.N) lost 8.9 percent, on track for its biggest fall since August 2011.
Textron (TXT.N) slid 13 percent while Tupperware (TUP.N) sank 14.8 percent after both companies' revenue missed estimates.
VMware (VMW.N) lost 9.3 percent after its 2016 forecast was weaker than expected.
Among the few gainers, Biogen (BIIB.O) rose 5.5 percent after its profit and revenue beat expectations.
Tech majors Facebook (FB.O), Qualcomm (QCOM.O) and eBay (EBAY.O) are slated to report after the close.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 1,584 to 1,417. On the Nasdaq, 1,724 issues fell and 998 rose.
The S&P 500 index showed three new 52-week high and five new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 10 new highs and 62 lows.

1. I had to switch my hat game up for the rest of the year. I still can’t believe that they are referred to as “Dad hats” now. Dad hats?! Come on, in such a trendy era, can’t we come up with a cooler name?
2. “You gotta take the crookeds with the straights” – Troy Maxson from August Wilson’s Fences.
3. I hope that PNB Rock continues to be successful in the music industry. He’s from Philly and even though I may not listen to all of his music (“Selfish” is pretty dope), hometown support must be shown. Philly can be – and many can attest to this – a crab in the barrel city and it’s tough to break through. There are a lot of talented people here but we are often our own worst enemy.
4. Angela Rye is fly… Intelligent and fine as all hell.
5. It’s an abnormal time to be alive. We live in the age of misinformation and everyone seems to know everything about nothing. Revisionists with selective memory. Individuals with well constructed social media personas yet are far from what they want you to believe them to be in real life. And shout out to “selective activists” that pick and choose who and what should be fought for and fought against.
6. I need to take a class in Art History or at least become familiar with more of Da Vinci’s work and other great sculptors, painters, and architects of the past and present. Also, I love Caravaggio’s “Medusa”.

“Reader be warned … These are no light tales, no easy reading. They are readable, incredibly so, but they will crush you. There are no easy answers or neat conclusions to these stories.”
In recent years, there has been a growing popularity in the horror and weird arena for stories that meld the literary and the grotesque. Stories that are unafraid to show the darkest aspects of the genre—and the most awe-inspiring—but which also mine themes of humanity—personal and otherwise—culture, society, and so on. Writers like Damien Angelica Walters, Priya Sharma, Laura Mauro, Georgina Bruce, Michael Griffin, Brian Evenson, Richard Gavin, Kristi DeMeester, Daniel Braum, Jo Kaplan, and many, many others. To these hallowed ranks, we can easily add Tracy Fahey. Exploding onto the scene with her first collection, The Unheimlich Manoeuvre (2016, Boo Books, reissued 2018 Sinister Horror Company (reviewed on this very site)), she showed she was a writer to be watched. And now, with her third collection, I Spit Myself Out, she builds on that already impressive debut.
In her introduction, Fahey sets out the overarching theme as Gothic body horror. And opening story ‘I’ll be Your Mirror’ embodies this. Museum installations, anatomy on display, insecurity, and self-conscious body imagery. All collide in a beautifully written story infused with anxiety. In ‘The Wrong Ones’, past shames come to light, domestic horrors which can exist in rural, isolated families. Grimly horrific in only a few short pages. ‘Becoming’ brings us the search for socially pressured perfection, for eternal youth. Experiments, a shady health spa, and the lengths we feel we must go to. Past trauma, unreliable memory, and a cautionary monster collide in ‘It Comes Up’. By now, Fahey’s talent for slipstream narrative and for creating disturbing, vibrant imagery with only a modicum of description. Mood, atmosphere, and tone abound powerfully in these tales.
‘I Write Your Name’ is a beautiful, heart-breaking end of the world scenario, filled with longing and melancholia. And ‘The Cure’ is the perfect follow-up, a timely story of a viral outbreak. It also examines hope, survival, faith, and desperation. ‘Ghost in the Machine’ tackles loss and family, in a ghost story that’s both poignant and chilling. The shackles of a religious upbringing and the will to be individual mesh in ‘I Kiss the Wounds’. The narrator is torn between the comfort of logic and the desire to please her parents. ‘The Girl Who Kissed the Dead’ is a story of abuse, a strange kind of vengeance, shot through with a kind of punk attitude. Despite its dark themes, it feels almost redemptive.
In ‘Sin Deep’, a woman wishes she could help her gravely ill sister, but the longing is futile. Unfolding like a fever dream, the shedding of skin could be a seen as an exchange, or as a retreat from human suffering. ‘Noli Me Tangere’ translates as ‘touch me not’. Another timely pandemic tale, it uses a sixteenth century list of teratology causes as headings. Pregnancy, panic, and domestic abuse infuse this nightmarish piece. Again, culturally induced pressures of image are refracted through a take on Stephen King’s Thinner, in ‘Reducing’. But Fahey has much more to say than King’s sardonic modern fairy tale. She uses the story to examine superficiality, the fickleness of some friends, and the sheer horror of something self-induced. ‘Inside Out’ is either a personal haunting or a manifestation of guilt, accusation. Gothic and oppressive. Using diabetes as a jumping off point, ‘Love Like Blood’ moves through modern goth culture and vampirism in a coming-of-age story. But like the few other things here that might feel familiar, it cofounds expectation.
‘The House Under the House’ is like the anti-Room. An unreliable narrator who may well be a monster, locked in a room at the bottom of their house. This one starts dark, then gets darker. ‘Metamorphosis’ describes a terrible tale of abuse, mixing it with passages ruminating on caterpillars transforming into butterflies. As fragile as the insect’s wings, this one unfolds like a terrible dream, hinting at awful events. Possibly the most accurate representation of depression in fiction, ‘The Woman in the Moon’ is another story dealing with abuse and PTSD. It also invents its own mythology, one which feels as if it has always existed. Finally, we come to the title story, ‘I Spit myself Out’. Trauma, more trauma, and a trip to mental health facility. This story acts as both bookend to and encapsulates the collection entire, but it’s also a fine piece in its own right. And, like many of those before it, it unfolds like a dark dream.
It’s obvious that in just a few short years, Tracy Fahey’s skills and abilities have increased and grown. And being she was a master craftsperson to start with, that’s high praise indeed. The prose is poetic and lyrical, yet never loses clarity, whether it’s delivering grounded scenarios or more dreamlike imagery. And what imagery. In only a few sharp sentences, Fahey conveys more emotion than many writers manage with reams and reams of writing. Reader be warned, though. These are no light tales, no easy reading. They are readable, incredibly so, but they will crush you. There are no easy answers or neat conclusions to these stories. They are most concerned with delivering emotion and atmosphere, and that they do in spades. They will bludgeon you with their weight. And isn’t that what horror is really all about? You will love them for it because they are just so beautifully constructed. And like most truly beautiful things, they are soul-destroying.
Fahey easily fulfills the promise of her earlier work, and then some. Her name more than deserves to be included in any list of the best horror writers. And if you’re unfamiliar, you are in for a treat. Get her books now and be amazed.
