A4 Video Converter Description:
With a very easy to use interface A4 Video Converter can convert video formats, extract audio from video files and extract images from video files, or capture video clips. It also supports cutting video files, extracting audio and images from any appointed part of video file and joining several video files into a single video file or audio file.
A4 Video Converter not only boasts an aesthetically pleasing design, but its logical and organized structure makes it a no-brainer to use.
Besides converting video among popular video formats, the program extracts audio into a wide range of codecs and can capture movie frames as individual image files. When converting files, you can specify such variables as frame rate, compression, audio format, and bit rate.
Like every other tool in A4 Video Converter, the cutting feature is easy to use, letting you select starting and ending points via a slider and providing a preview window for reference.
The trial version does place a watermark on your output files, but that's much less restrictive than many competing apps.
This utility makes a quality pick for home users, especially those who need powers that go beyond simple conversions.

He's back: Richie Hall named Rider DC
February 01, 2011

THE CANADIAN PRESSRegina -- It was a frigid -38 C with the wind chill at Mosaic Stadium, but there was a warm welcome inside the Saskatchewan Roughriders' locker-room for Richie Hall.The CFL club announced Tuesday that Hall will return to Saskatchewan as defensive co-ordinator.“It feels good,” a grinning Hall told reporters.“It feels a little intimidating just because they've have so much success the last couple of years, going to Grey Cup two years (in a row). You feel that you want to continue that tradition that they have already established.”Hall was a part of the green and white coaching staff for 15 seasons, including eight as defensive co-ordinator. He helped the Riders win the Grey Cup in 2007.Hall left Saskatchewan in 2009 to become head coach and defensive co-ordinator of the Edmonton Eskimos. He was embraced by Edmonton fans and players alike for his ready grin and relentless optimism, but that wasn't enough to offset a losing record.He was fired by the Eskimos in November after Edmonton finished with a 7-11 record last season and missed the playoffs.It was a learning experience.“I think it's changed you, but I don't know if it changed me because I've been the head coach. I think it's just the last two years of experience, as far as the things that I've endured, that makes you either bitter or makes you better. And I always think that your experiences make you a better person,” said Hall.“I like to think that I'm better today than I was yesterday.”Before moving into coaching, Hall spent nine years playing in the CFL, including four seasons with the Roughriders from 1988 to 1991. He was a key member of the Roughriders' 1989 Grey Cup championship team.Hall said he doesn't think going from a head coach position to defensive co-ordinator is a step backwards.“I've always looked at it as just to have the opportunity to do something that you enjoy doing and that's coaching,” he said.“Whether it's being a position coach, whether it's being a co-ordinator or whether it's being a head coach, I get the luxury of doing something that I enjoy doing. It doesn't matter what my role is, but to be able to coach I think that's a lot of fun.”Riders GM Brendan Taman said Hall's record speaks for itself.“He's pretty successful wherever he's been and as a defensive coach, whenever teams I've (been with) played against him, it was tough. He's a good coach and obviously was in the search for the head coaching job so we think a lot of him,” said Taman.The head coaching job in Saskatchewan opened up in December when Ken Miller announced he would be stepping down to focus on his position as the Riders' vice-president of football operations.Last month, the Riders handed the reins to Greg Marshall.Marshall started coaching in the CFL in 1994 in Saskatchewan. He was the team's defensive line coach for two seasons before adding the title of defensive co-ordinator. Marshall left the Riders in 1999 for other coaching positions and was most recently the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' defensive co-ordinator for the past two seasons.Hall, who worked with Marshall in Saskatchewan, said they have a good relationship.“Ever since we departed in 2000, we've always had the desire to work together again,” said Hall.“I know I'm very excited about it and he's very excited. You know it's interesting because we've been apart for so long, now to come back together and to see what we've learned. We've kind of gone in different avenues and we all came in together and now we're reunited and I think it's going to be fun.”

The Seventh Alabama Cavalry
The Seventh Alabama Cavalry
The Seventh cavalry was organized in July, 1863, as part of Clanton's
brigade, and served for more than a year in Quarles', Clanton's, Page's,
Patton's and Thomas' brigades, in the vicinity of Pensacola and the bay forts.
In the fall of 1864, it reported to General Forrest at Corinth, and took part in
the raid on Johnsonville and the fighting as Hood moved toward Nashville. It
suffered severely at this time, especially in the night attack on Brentwood. The
regiment, after recruiting, joined General Buford at Montevallo in March, 1865;
confronted Wilson's corps from Benton to Girard, and took part in the last
fighting of the war, surrendering at Gainesville, May 14, 1865. Col. Joseph
Hodgson led the regiment throughout the war, though detachments were at various
times commanded with brilliant success by Maj. Turner Clanton, Jr., Captain
Ledyard, and others. Capt. Charles P. Storrs was wounded at Columbia; Adjt.
William T. Charles was captured at one time, but escaped. Colonel Hodgson, after
the close of the war, devoted himself to journalism, in which he became quite
distinguished, and he was at one time State superintendent of education.

When it Rains, It Pours: Global Warming and the Rising Frequency of Extreme Precipitation in the United States

Executive Summary
Scientists expect that global warming will cause a variety of changes to precipitation patterns in the United States. Many areas will receive increased amounts of rain and snow over the course of a year; some areas will receive less. But scientists expect that, all across the country, the rainstorms and snowstorms that do occur will be more intense – increasing the risk of flooding and other impacts.
In this report, we evaluate trends in the frequency of storms with extreme levels of rainfall or snowfall across the contiguous United States over the last 60 years. We analyze daily precipitation records spanning from 1948 through 2006 at more than 3,000 weather stations in 48 states. We then examine patterns in the timing of heavy precipitation relative to the local climate at each weather station.
We find that storms with extreme amounts of rain or snowfall are happening more often across most of America, consistent with the predicted impact of global warming.
Scientists expect global warming to increase the frequency of heavy precipitation.
As the earth warms, temperate regions of North America will face a growing risk of storms with extreme levels of rain or snowfall.
Global warming increases the intensity of precipitation in two key ways. First, by increasing the temperature of the land and the oceans, global warming causes water to evaporate faster. Second, by increasing air temperature, global warming enables the atmosphere to hold more water vapor. These factors combine to make clouds richer with moisture, making heavy downpours or snowstorms more likely.
The consequences of increasingly intense rainstorms may include flooding, crop damage, pollution of waterways with runoff, erosion, and other environmental and economic damage. During the 20th century, floods caused more property damage and loss of life than any other natural disaster in the United States.
An increase in the number of downpours does not necessarily mean more water will be available.
Scientists expect that extreme downpours will punctuate longer periods of relative dryness, increasing the risk of drought. In the Southwest, for example, total annual precipitation is projected to decline – amplifying the impact of periods of little rainfall between heavy storms.
Even in the rest of the country, where total annual precipitation is expected to increase, more of that precipitation will fall in heavy rainstorms or snowstorms, paradoxically increasing the potential for drought.
As temperatures rise, precipitation will become increasingly likely to fall as rain rather than snow, increasing runoff and likely reducing water supplies in areas dependent on snowpack.
Weather records show that storms with extreme precipitation have become more frequent over the last 60 years.
Consistent with the predicted impacts of global warming, we found that storms with extreme precipitation have increased in frequency by 24 percent across the continental United States since 1948. (According to a statistical analysis of the data, with 95 percent confidence, the increase has been between 22 and 26 percent.)
New England and the Mid-Atlantic experienced the largest increase in extreme precipitation frequency.
New England and the Mid-Atlantic saw storms with extreme precipitation levels increase in frequency by 61 percent and 42 percent, respectively. At the state level, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York and Louisiana all saw extreme precipitation events increase in frequency by more than 50 percent.
In the contiguous United States, 40 states experienced a statistically significant trend toward increasingly frequent storms with extreme precipitation. Only one state (Oregon) showed a statistically significant decline in frequency of storms with extreme precipitation. (See Figure ES-1.)
See the report appendices on page 35 for a full list of results by region, state and metropolitan area.
These findings are consistent with previous studies of extreme precipitation patterns, both in the United States and across the globe.
Climate divisions covering more than half of the land area of the United States show a statistically significant trend toward more frequent storms with extreme precipitation.
We also looked at the trend in frequency of storms with extreme precipitation within climate divisions, which are boundaries used by climatologists since the 1950s to aggregate weather observations. Figure ES-2 presents these trends, showing that the largest increases occurred across New England, New York, much of the Great Lakes area, the upper Midwest, plus Louisiana, New Mexico, northern Washington and southern California.
Climate regions covering more than half of the surface area of the contiguous United States show a statistically significant increase in the frequency of storms with extreme precipitation levels.
In contrast, the data show statistically significant decreases in extreme precipitation frequency for climate regions covering only 4 percent of the area of the United States. (Oregon, the northwestern corner of North Dakota, central Arkansas, the southern tip of Lake Michigan, and northern Florida.)
These findings are consistent with previous studies of extreme precipitation patterns, both in the United States and across the globe. For example:
Scientists have observed warmer weather, higher atmospheric moisture content, increased formation of storm clouds, and an increase in thunderstorm activity over the contiguous United States in recent decades.
In 1999, researchers at the Illinois State Water Survey and the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) found that storms with extreme precipitation became more frequent by about 3 percent per decade from 1931 to 1996. Our findings are consistent with this result.
In 2004, scientists at NCDC concluded that most of the observed increase in storms with heavy and very heavy precipitation levels since the early 1900s had occurred in the last three decades. In other words, they found that the change in extreme precipitation frequency is unusual and relatively recent.
Moreover, NCDC found that extremely heavy storms are increasing in frequency more rapidly than very heavy storms – which in turn are increasing in frequency more rapidly than heavy storms.
The severity of the trend toward more intense downpours in the future depends upon our emissions of the pollution that drives global warming.
Climate models predict that the trend toward increasingly frequent storms with heavy precipitation will intensify in the future. Some amount of change is inevitable given the global warming emissions humans have already created. However, we still have the ability to prevent the worst-case scenarios.
By halting the increase in total US global warming emissions now and reducing emissions by at least 80 percent by mid-century, we can limit the increase in major storm frequency — and thus reduce future risks of flooding and other serious consequences of extreme rainstorms.
To address global warming, America should limit emissions of global warming pollution, while improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy.
To protect future generations, the United States should adopt a mandatory cap on global warming pollution that reduces total US emissions by at least 15 to 20 percent by 2020 and by at least 80 percent by 2050.
If policymakers choose a cap-and-trade program to achieve this goal, it should include auctioning 100 percent of emission allowances, rather than giving allowances away to polluters. By auctioning allowances, we can reduce the cost of achieving emission reduction goals, making it more likely that America will succeed.
The United States should also adopt complementary policies to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of clean, renewable energy.
How We Obtained Our Results
In this report, we examine trends in the frequency of extreme precipitation across the contiguous United States from 1948 through 2006. We analyze daily precipitation records obtained from the National Climatic Data Center

Instruments
of Navigation
Deceptively like a
common sundial, William Borough's instrument to determine magnetic
variation pushed the envelope of scientific understanding in 1581.
But more than that, it encapsulated a thorny scientific problem
within a very simple instrument—so simple that a sailor could
use it. Since the magnetic poles do not lie in the same place on
the earth's globe as the true north and south poles, a compass needle
will usually not point directly at the geographic pole. The deviation
depends on where the compass is in relation to the magnetic pole
as well as local geomagnetic conditions. Knowing this "magnetic
variation" was of crucial importance to navigators trying to
avoid being lost at sea. It was of particular concern to those plying
the North Atlantic. Near the equator, variation might only be a
degree or so, but in northern waters, it can vary up to 90°.
Near Greenland, navigators could conceivably be sailing west when
they thought they were sailing north.
Borough therefore
put into a simple instrument all the tools that the navigator needed
to find and map variation at any point on the globe. This
woodcut reduces a complex exercise in terrestrial geomagnetic and
spherical geometry to a simple image of a simple instrument made
up of simple and known commodities: compass and sundial. Designed
for workaday purposes and not purporting to reveal any hidden truths
of the earth or heavens, the instrument of variation allowed English
sailors to map the North Atlantic. The timeliness of the book and
the instrument it explained are underscored by recalling that the
English only began seriously contemplating overseas exploration
and colonies in the 1570s (Drake returned from his circumnavigation
in 1578) and her first colony was (unsuccessfully) planted on Roanoke
in 1584. Although described by Borough—the more able mathematician—the
instrument was apparently invested with great meaning for Robert Norman (fl. 1590), who took the trouble to have his initials placed
at the foot of the shadow line, identifying this invention and this
embodied knowledge as his own.
The instrument worked
as follows: Placing the instrument level and plumb on a stool and
aligning the shadow from the cord on the NS line of the compass
dial, the navigator noted the position of the needle at two times
in the day when the sun was at equal elevations above the horizon—that
is, at equal times on either side of local noon. Half the difference
in the absolute value of these two needle positions gave the local
magnetic variation since magnetic north is not in quite the same
direction as true north (the north magnetic pole lies at about 77°
N lat., 45° W long.). So, for example, at 8 AM the needle might
point 48°E and at 4pm point 45°W; the local magnetic variation
would then be 1.5°E ([48°-45°]/2) at that point on the
globe. The next time any ship came to the area, then, it would be
able to compensate for that 1.5° and sail towards its destination
reliably. One limitation of this instrument, however, was that to
determine the most accurate declinations, the readings ought to
have been taken as far apart in the day as possible, but that meant
the mariner had to stay put for most or all of that day, not only
a difficult task on the ocean, but also quite inefficient in terms
of reaching one's destination. Ultimately, though, this instrument
and many more like it defined the mathematical arts for late-sixteenth-century
Englishmen and the world they sought to create.

Broadway by the Year 1931 Review
1931, in the throes of the Great Depression, was a year of transition for Broadway. Not too many musicals were around. And the majority of them are not exactly familiar or revivable. In terms of classics, there was “Of Thee I Sing.” And, to an extent, “The Bandwagon.” That show is never revived, but it inspired a classic film musical. And inside the revues and flops, you will find two all-time American Songbook classics: “As Time Goes By” and “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries.”

India's Floods: An Overview
first published: Sept. 14, 2006 – Gospel for Asia
The record flooding that hit India this year, causing widespread destruction and loss of life and affecting the missionary work of Gospel for Asia and other organizations, is a result of an annual meteorological event—the Southwest Monsoon.
This seasonal incident and its accompanying rains are both a blessing and a bane to the Indian Subcontinent, whose largely agricultural workforce depends on the monsoon for approximately 90 percent of its water supply.
“Too much rain, or too little,” says BBC meteorologist Bill Giles, “means the difference between flood and famine.”
One Gospel for Asia correspondent reported on what “too much” looked like to a GFA survey team in one devastated region of Central India:
“Thousands of people dead, families rendered homeless as their houses were swept away, cattle drowned, crops totally rooted out, villages submerged under the flood waters-and electricity, drinking water and communications systems totally failed.”
The floods have affected an especially large region of the country this year, stretching from Gujurat in the east to Nagaland in the west, and from Jammu & Kashmir in the north to southern Karnataka.
Rajasthan
India’s western state of Rajasthan is known for its deserts, but over the last two weeks, vast areas of this region have been flooded. In a three-day period, Barmar district near Pakistan received 22.7 inches (57.7 cm) of rain—more than double its annual average. Over 800,000 in this region alone have been affected by the floods.
Assam
This northeast Indian state forms a large part of the drainage system for the massive Brahmaputra River and its tributaries, which in flood stage often cut villages off from transportation, electricity and phone communication for weeks.
“Normal life in these areas has been greatly affected,” said a GFA field correspondent, who reported that hundreds of pastors and church members suffered heavy damage and property loss. “We are struggling to recover.”
Gujarat
Water covered up to half of Surat, Gujarat’s “Diamond City,” and affected an estimated 3.2 million people as a result of the heavy rains that fell in August. Much of the state is still under the threat of flooding, with several rivers at or above flood stage.
Maharashtra
Flash floods in this state swept away sections of railway line, submerged bridges and closed major highways. Low-lying areas in cities such as Nagpur and Mumbai were also affected, especially bringing suffering to the slum-dwellers and others with already inadequate shelter. Some homes, saturated with water, have collapsed, killing the residents inside.
Andhra Pradesh
The consequences of the heavy rainfall severely impacted residents in thousands of villages in this state. With water levels in reservoirs rising dangerously, officials were forced to release millions of gallons of water into the already flooded rivers. Then, a tropical depression that formed in the Bay of Bengal caused more heavy rainfall for four straight days.
Two Koya tribal villages were completely wiped out when the Sabari and Seeleru Rivers rose 12 feet above their banks and swept through the communities. Villagers ran for a nearby hill as the rivers washed away their belongings and completely destroyed all 260 mud-and-bamboo homes. They waited for two days, without food or water, before aid arrived.
Madhya Pradesh
Some villagers were stranded after floods cut them off from roads and nearby towns. The city of Bhopal experienced rainfall of 35.4 inches (90 cm) in just one night, breaking a record of 30.31 inches (77 cm) set in 1973. A girl was killed and six people injured when a tree fell on the group due to the heavy rains.
Chhattisgarh
Widespread rainfall has pounded the state and flood waters have overflowed at least one dam, causing further flooding downstream. In one district, 60 houses were completely isolated by the waters.
Orissa
The threat of more rain came from the same tropical depression affecting Andhra Pradesh, and fishermen were cautioned to remain at home due to dangerously rough seas. Several rivers overflowed their banks and inundated large areas, and one city recorded rainfall of 6.7 inches (17 cm) in a 24-hour period.
Jammu & Kashmir
A mountainous state, Jammu & Kashmir has not only experienced its share of floods, but landslides as well. As a result, residents faced transportation problems with stretches of highway either being under water, blocked or caved in. Twenty deaths were reported in the state, primarily from houses collapsing, and thousands of other homes were damaged.
Monsoon Predictable? To a Point
The word “monsoon” comes from an Arabic word meaning “season,” and was first used in the 16th century by Portuguese and Dutch traders sailing the spice route to India. It refers to the seasonal wind pattern change that occurs over the Subcontinent: First, the land heats up during the first months of the year; then, as the hot air rises, moist air from the Indian Ocean blows in from the southwest to take its place, bringing heavy rainfall.
Rains from the yearly Southwest Monsoon generally begin in southern India around June 1 and spread northwest through June and July. The rains start to abate from the northwest in September and retreat to the southeast, leaving the Subcontinent around the middle of October. But though the arrival and departure of the monsoon season can be forecast relatively accurately, what is not predictable each year is the intensity of the rainfall.
This has been the case for the 2006 monsoon, which has caused the loss of more than 2,000 lives and the displacement of millions all across the nation of India

Is it Useful for You to Own a Mini-Notebook or Netbook?
By Expert Author: Stuart Michael
We all see that laptops and notebooks are helpful tools that provide for work, studies and fun purposes. Now we have the latest trend in the market which is the mini-notebook. It is more widely known as netbook. It is small with only 13 inches measurement for its screen. Various major computer companies are having these cool devices on sale. If you are planning to get one, it is better to properly understand its functions in order to know that this is what exactly will meet your needs. Here will help you to make up your mind whether to purchase one or not.
First of all, let us see the good sides of the mini-notebook functions. It is smaller and lighter in comparison to other general laptops or notebooks. It is like a standard normal book which could be easily carried with the hand. Since it is so portable, an individual could bring it to wherever he or she wants to travel to. It could be light in the bag and there more spaces in the bag where other things could also be stuffed in. Ladies will especially appreciate this as she may have keys, make-up things, tissues, mobile phone and water bottle to carry together. With conventional notebook, one may have to carry a separate bag just for the device. Another advantage is that it does function fully as any computer. It has all the main operating system and applications, ports for connections, Wi-Fi, webcam, CD-ROM or burner and functional keyboard. Apart from that, the price and cost is low and affordable. Thenetbook would not cost much higher than any ordinary laptop or notebook and it is inexpensive for anyone to purchase. Overall, this small device is for those who are always on the go for businesses in usages of e-mail and quick note-taking. It is also for students to carry for typing lecture notes rather than writing down.
Here comes the downside of this small computer. Although it is fully functional, it has limitations. The processor plus the memory are lower in speed and it causes a file to be played slower. For example, a video may pause by itself and then continues playing. It may repeat the same over and over again. While downloading files, there may be complications too. The smaller screen and keyboard may pose a problem depending on different users. If you are planning to do major work with long hours, it is advise not to buy this type of computer as the battery life will not support longer hours like conventional laptop does.
In the end it is up to you whether to own a mini-notebook depending on what your usages are.

Liquor Advertising: Now accepted at Radio Station
KrishNov 3 2005
New York Times reports a satellite radio station; Sirius Satellite Radio will broadcast liquor advertising. There are some big names that are not part of this annual $80-$90 million alcohol advertising budget, like ABC, CBS, Fox, WB, NBC and UPN.alcoholBarring these few it seems everybody want to have a share of the pieThis is not very astonishing that some groups always raise voice against liquor or alcohol advertising. And it has been creating a huge amount of controversy due to its alcohol related disease or life style syndrome.Remember, Becardi ad which so implicitly shown its wild partying images that an instant nationwide survey revealed high risk of illicit sexual behavior.On the other way the brains behind the campaign are happy and optimistic and believe that the unbranded and fresh music (HIP HOP, Get your ice on) will be able to deliver in not so uncluttered scenario.

Aldactone
Generic Name: spironolactone (spir ON oh LAK tone)
Brand Names: Aldactone
What is Aldactone?
Aldactone (spironolactone) is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.
Aldactone is used to diagnose or treat a condition in which you have too much aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands to help regulate the salt and water balance in your body.
Aldactone also treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or a kidney disorder called nephrotic syndrome. This medication is also used to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood).
Aldactone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information about Aldactone
You should not use Aldactone if you are allergic to spironolactone, or if you have kidney disease, high levels of potassium in your blood, or if you are unable to urinate. Do not use potassium supplements or other diuretics while you are taking Aldactone.
Before using Aldactone, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, or if you use a steroid or another diuretic.
Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of Aldactone.
Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and can make this medication less effective.
Do not use salt substitutes or low-sodium milk products that contain potassium. These products could cause your potassium levels to get too high while you are taking Aldactone.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using Aldactone even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Before taking Aldactone
You should not use Aldactone if you are allergic to spironolactone, or if you have:
kidney disease, or if you are unable to urinate;
high levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia); or
if you are taking potassium supplements or other potassium-sparing diuretics such as Aldactazide, amiloride (Midamor, Moduretic), or triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide, Maxzide).
To make sure you can safely take Aldactone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
heart disease;
liver disease; or
if you are using a steroid, or another diuretic.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Aldactone will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Spironolactone passes into breast milk and could cause harm to a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.See also: Aldactone pregnancy and breastfeeding warnings (in more detail)
How should I take Aldactone?
Take Aldactone exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take each dose with a full glass of water.
To be sure Aldactone is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Visit your doctor regularly.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using Aldactone. If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Aldactone. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time. If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Store Aldactone at room temperature away from heat, light, and moisture.
See also: Aldactone dosage (in more detail)What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include drowsiness, confusion, red skin rash, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
What should I avoid while taking Aldactone?
Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of Aldactone. Do not use salt substitutes or low-sodium milk products that contain potassium. These products could cause your potassium levels to get too high while you are taking Aldactone.
Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and can make this medication less effective.
Aldactone may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.

Aldactone side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Aldactone: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using Aldactone and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
numbness or tingly feeling;
muscle pain or weakness;
slow, fast, or uneven heart rate;
feeling drowsy, restless, or light-headed;
urinating less than usual or not at all;
shallow breathing;
tremors, confusion;
nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); or
severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.
Less serious Aldactone side effects may include:
mild nausea or vomiting;
dizziness, headache;
gas, stomach pain; or
skin rash.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
See also: Aldactone side effects (in more detail)What other drugs will affect Aldactone?
Before using Aldactone, tell your doctor if you regularly use other medicines that make you sleepy (such as cold or allergy medicine, sedatives, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression, or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by Aldactone.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid);
digoxin (digitalis, Lanoxin);
steroids such as prednisone, fluticasone (Advair), mometasone (Asmanex, Nasonex), dexamethasone (Decadron, Hexadrol) and others;
an ACE inhibitor such as benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), or trandolapril (Mavik); or
an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Treximet), celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Arthrotec, Cambia, Cataflam, Voltaren, Flector Patch, Pennsaid, Solareze), indomethacin (Indocin), meloxicam (Mobic), and others.
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with Aldactone. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.

VERGE New England Championship Cyclo-Cross Series
Powers Pips Wells, Bessette Returns to Power
Warwick, Rhode Island (December 9, 2007) The final event of the 2007 Verge New England Championship Cyclo-cross Series featured another nail-biter finish in the men's elite race and the return to form of 'cross legend Lyne Bessette.
The final race also crowned series winners in nine categories, including dominant -- and promising -- performances in the Under-19 juniors and Under-23 seniors.
In the Mens Elite, Jeremy Powers (Cyclocrossworld.com) got the holeshot and quickly opened a 12-second lead on Todd Wells (GT), who pleased the crowd by hopping the barriers near the course's central carousel building. Series leader Jesse Anthony (Jamis) and Tim Johnson
(Cannondale-Leer-Cyclocrossworld.com) were close behind.
After two laps, Wells bridged to Powers and the two traded attacks until Wells crashed and bent his derailleur on the last lap. Powers decided not to attack Wells until he went into the pit to take another bike, then he punched it to take about a five-second gap that Wells quickly closed.
From there, it looked to be a repeat of Saturday's race, when Wells came around Anthony to nip him at the line. But this time, Wells attacked Powers about a kilometer from the finish and Powers had to close a small gap on the final straight to win by a hand's width.
"He got a little gap, maybe two bike lengths, coming into the last straight," Powers said. "Maybe it was a little too much, but Todd hit a root kind of cock-eyed and then he went wide so I was able to close maybe one bike length and then I was just able to catch him at the end."
In the Womens Elite races, Bessette (Cyclocrossworld.com) returned to the series after missing the last two events due to illness and travel. She wasted no time producing the kind of performance that has helped her win the four previous series events she started.
"I had a good start, I felt snappy on the start," Bessette said at the finish. "I went through the course gradually and after
the middle I opened more gas and I felt good; I tried to really push the speed in the corners."
Behind her, in a breakthrough performance, Amy Wallace (Richard Sachs-RGM Watches) also got a snappy start and separated herself from the chasers. Wallace kept within 15 seconds of Bessette for about two laps, and held a steady pace to the end to turn in her best series finish to date.
"Today I was feeling good when I got up. I told my teammates, 'I can win today.' Then I saw Lyne was here and I said, " ' I can definitely get second,'" she said with a smile. "The mental attitude helps so much."
Rebecca Wellons (Ridley), who came into Sunday's race in the series lead, and had to finish no worse than second behind Bessette to hold the lead. Unfortunately for Wellons, she got a poor start and finished sixth.
"I gave it everything my body had," said Wellons.
Verge NECCS Series Results:
Elite Men: Wins at the Gloucester and Northampton races highlighted Anthony's series victory in his first year as an Elite. For Chris Jones (NERAC), the series was an accelerated class in cyclocross. In his first full season as a crosser, Jones won at Farmington, Conn., and finished the series in second. Cross legend Mark McCormack, who has won the series seven times, was on the podium again in his first season as a part-time racer.
Elite Women: Bessette dominated the series even while skipping two events. However, the story of the series was often the race for second. Wellons, Milkowski and Wallace all climbed onto the second spot on the podium this year, and all three are optimistic about taking the next step up in years to come. In the end Wellons'
consistency - she was second five times - overcame Milkowski's two victories to fill out the series podium.
U23:
Jamey Driscoll (Fiordi-Frutta) was unbeaten in the U23
category, but impressed more observers with his performance relative to the elite men. He finished seventh in the elite series and was fifth in the final event. Behind him, the race for second came down to the wire, with Jerome Townsend (Ridley) holding off a surging Nicholas Keough (Jittery Joes-Sonic)
Junior U19/U15: Luke Keough (C.L.Noonan-Coast to Coast) - the reigning cyclocross national champion -
and Gavin Mannion (Hot Tubes) - the reigning criterium national champion - battled all season in the U19 Junior category. While Mannion won the final event, Keough won the series, and both go into the national championships in Kansas City next weekend with high hopes for a second stars and stripes jersey. In the U15/Cub Juniors category Tommy Goguen (Minuteman Road Club) and Curtis White (CRBC) represented the future of American

HHC Partners with Local Developers Kettler and Orchard Development
November 2, 2011 The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC) today announced the development of new residential and retail in downtown Columbia, Md.
This is the first project to be executed under the 2010 approved downtown Columbia redevelopment plan, which allows up to 13 million square feet of net new density to be comprised of 5,500 residential units, five million square feet of office, one million square feet of retail, and up to 640 hotel rooms. This first phase of a larger development plan will include approximately 375 ‘Class A’ rental residential units and more than 14,000 square feet of retail space.
“We are very excited to begin the new development of downtown Columbia.
This is the initial step of a comprehensive plan to revitalize the town center, and one that has been highly anticipated by the community,” said Hughes’ Senior Vice President John E. DeWolf.
The Howard Hughes Corporation is partnering with local developer Kettler, of McLean, Va. Kettler is a privately held residential developer, owner and manager, with a successful history in developing high-end residential products in the market including mixed-use environments in Reston , Arlington
