Husband, 31, took his own life after strangling his witchcrafted wife
A husband killed witchcraft with his wife and feared before committing suicide after claiming to be a victim of a & # 39; zombie attack & # 39 ;, a judicial investigation.
The bodies of Lorraine and Jesus Matos Sanchez were discovered in their home in Leicestershire in November after neighbors heard the screams.
Jesus, 31, who believed his wife was having an affair and feared that his marriage would fall apart, strangled and stabbed the 27-year-old before he hung himself.
He left a handwritten note with the text: & # 39; She first tried to kill me in a crazy zombie attack and I acted in self-defense. & # 39;
In 2009 Mrs. Matos Sanchez, then 18, wore a balaclava when she stabbed her sleeping mother Sisbsisiwe Mbulawa five times with a kitchen knife.
But she was acquitted of attempted murder and convicted of the lesser accusation of illegal injuries after she had told the jurors that the ghost of her deceased grandmother had appeared at the end of her bed.
Jesus Matos Sanchez, 31, left a suicide letter in which he said that he had strangled his wife Lorraine, 27
Mrs. Matos Sanchez's father died suddenly after collapsing in their home in Zimbabwe in 2000, so she and her mother moved to England in 2002.
During her trial in 2009, Mrs. Matos Sanchez claimed that her deceased grandmother had told her that her mother had killed her father and that she & # 39; honorable thing & # 39; should do and avenge his death.
Psychiatrists said she had no psychological problems and that the jury agreed that she knew what she was doing.
But the A Level student, who was born in Zimbabwe, was released after being sentenced to 12 months in prison.
In 2009 Mrs. Matos Sanchez stabbed her own mother while she slept
During investigations into the death of Jesus and Lorraine yesterday, a coroner heard that there was no clear evidence of an insane fight or an earlier history of domestic violence between the couple.
The only visible injuries found on Mrs. Matos Sanchez, facing down on a bed, were a hand with a small hand and a broken acrylic fingernail.
Two unused knives were discovered by the police in the bedrooms at the front and rear.
Senior coroner Catherine Mason told Leicester Coroner & # 39; s Court: & # 39; Just because there was no evidence of an insane attack does not mean there was none. & # 39;
The couple's bodies, which belonged to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, were found last November 27.
Three days earlier, Mr Matos Sanchez had sent texts to his wife's colleagues, who are copying for her.
The guard, from the Caribbean, admitted in his farewell letter: & I cannot live with myself. I called her workplace and lied that she is not coming. I have to go now. & # 39;
He feared that his three-year-old wife was having an affair and that his marriage was falling apart, the study heard.
In his note, he accused an unnamed man of destroying & # 39; of their relationship. Mrs Matos Sanchez's mobile phone has never been analyzed by the police due to a six-month delay in devices waiting for forensic work in crime laboratories.
The couple's bodies, which belonged to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, were found on November 27 last year on November 27.
But DC Natasha Batstone, of Leicestershire police, said the man had signed a statement denying involvement.
She said: & # 39; There has been talk with that person and that person has been excluded. He has made a signed statement in which he denies any affair with Lorraine. There is no other evidence in the scene to suggest anything else.
& # 39; The only other thing we could have done is look at her phone, which we could not have done. & # 39;
DC Batstone said there was no clear motive for the tragedy or what caused it.
She added: & # 39; Some witnesses have emphasized that there had been problems in marriage and that they had slept apart.
& # 39; [Mrs. Matos Sanchez] worried about financial problems, but nothing more. & # 39; She had expressed some concern about her husband regarding his mental condition. & # 39;
The coroner Catherine Mason said there was insufficient evidence to support conclusions about illegal killings or legitimate self-defense.
With a narrative verdict in Mrs. Matos Sanchez's death, the coroner said: "She died as a result of the actions of a third party.
& # 39; It is not possible to say with certainty or probability why the actions were taken or what led to them. & # 39;
The coroner included a suicide sentence in Mr Matos Sanchez's separate investigation and added: "The police cannot say exactly why he took this action, except that he did it himself."

A few hours before the kickoff of the Posies' 30th anniversary show at the Bowery Ballroom, Jon Auer is feeling reflective. It's the perfect moment for the musician to examine a long and fruitful career that's found him performing as the member of a half-dozen bands, producing countless records and spending 17 years playing guitar for the final iteration of the legendary group, Big Star. But The Posies have always been the nearest and dearest to Auer's heart. Formed in high school with childhood friend Ken Stringfellow, the band helped define power pop for the 90s. A trio of iconic records released on DGC set the group apart from the grunge sound of their hometown. But they never achieved the popular success of other Seattle groups of the era, The Posies have long remained one of the decade's most beloved bands. In our conversation, Auer happily reflects on the ups and downs of his long career and explains why The Posies are sticking around for good this time out.

Amish school gunman left note of despair; death…
Amish school gunman left note of despair; death toll 5
GUNMAN'S NOTE: A Pennsylvania State Police official Tuesday holds a copy of the first page of a note Charles Carl Roberts IV left his wife before shooting himself and several Amish students in a school Monday in Nickel Mines, Pa. (Mary Altaffer / Associated Press)
By The New York Times | |
PUBLISHED: October 4, 2006 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 2:43 a.m.
NICKEL MINES, Pa. – As the Amish in this rural farm community turned inward to cope with the magnitude of the deadly school shooting Monday, police investigators pieced together the gunman's elaborate preparations for an extended siege that, they said, was intended to include the sexual assault of his young hostages.
When the gunman, Charles C. Roberts IV, 32, arrived at West Nickel Mines Amish School, he brought an assortment of weapons, hardware and personal lubricant that indicated he may have been planning to torture and molest the female students, the police said.
Speaking to his wife by cell phone after he had bound his hostages with wire and plastic ties, Roberts told her – for the first time – that he had molested two young relatives, ages 3 and 5, when he was 12 and had recently dreamed of sexually abusing young girls again, the police said. He also said his life had been warped by anger and grief since the death of their newborn daughter nine years ago.
But he "became confused" and started shooting when the police arrived, said Col. Jeffrey B. Miller, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, killing five girls, seriously injuring five others, then killing himself without carrying out any sexual assault.
As the awful details were disclosed and the death count rose to five, police officers, firefighters and residents in horse-drawn buggies gathered outside the homes of the some of the slain girls' relatives to fend off news reporters and satellite trucks.
At least 150 members of the Amish community met at a home prayer meeting about 200 yards from the schoolhouse to comfort the victims' families and try to summon forgiveness for Roberts. Community members also started a charity fund to help the victims' families as well as Roberts' widow and three young children.
With their traditional garb and religious dictum that forbids the use of technological advances like electricity and motor vehicles, the Amish try to insulate their lives from the bedlam and violence of modern life.
But the bloody attack by Roberts, who was raised in the area but was not Amish, had breached that insularity in many ways, leaving residents of a community known for its stoicism angry, saddened and shaken.
Emma Mae Zook, the teacher who called the police after fleeing the school as Roberts barricaded its doors, spent part of the day trying to offer solace to families of her wounded and murdered students, according to relatives.
"She's trying to comfort the families even as she struggles herself," said Zook's second cousin, a woman in her 50s who did not want her name used.
The police Tuesday released the names of the children who have died. They are Naomi Rose Ebersole, 7; Anna Mae Stolzfus, 12; Marian Fisher, 13; Mary Liz Miller, 8; and her sister Lena Miller, 7. Police said seven of the 10 families with children in the school have been affected by the shootings.
Gov. Edward Rendell said flags would fly at half-staff in the capital, Harrisburg, and in Lancaster County until after the funerals for the children.
Some of the five girls wounded Monday remained in critical or serious condition Tuesday afternoon.
Roberts had no criminal record or history of psychiatric illness, the authorities said. Although he had been scheduled to take a random drug test at his job, there was no indication that he had a substance abuse problem or was worried about the screening, Miller said.
The police were also investigating Roberts' assertion that he had molested relatives when he was 12, but had been unable to corroborate it.
Moments before he opened fire, Roberts told his wife, Marie, who was leading a prayer meeting at a church, of the sexual assaults. He then told her that he had left four suicide notes at home, Miller said, one of which described the lingering wounds he had felt since the death of their daughter Elise, who was born prematurely in 1997 and lived only 20 minutes.
"It changed my life forever, I haven't been the same since," he wrote in a note the police released Tuesday. "It affected me in a way I never felt possible. I am filled with so much hate, hate towards myself, hate towards God and unimaginable emptiness.
"It seems like every time we do something fun, I think abut how Elise wasn't here to share it with us and I got right back to anger."
Relatives and neighbors said there was no sign of that anguish in the hours before his rampage began.
After telling his wife that he was heading to his drug test, Roberts instead went to a hardware store, where he made a purchase at 9:14 a.m. and another at 9:16 a.m., the authorities said.
Once in the classroom, Roberts ordered all 15 boys to leave, along with four adult women who were visiting, three of whom had young children.
Roberts ordered the 10 remaining girls to line up facing the blackboard and remain silent as he lashed their ankles with wire and plastic ties. As he spoke with his wife, Roberts warned that he would begin shooting within 10 seconds if the police didn't leave. As officers tried to contact him on his cell phone, Roberts began firing his 9 mm semiautomatic, shooting the girls, execution-style, in the back of the head, then shot himself.
But the authorities said that the collection of restraints, chains, clamps and KY Jelly, a lubricant, appeared to indicate that Roberts had planned to molest his captives.


When I recently visited Professor Robert Weiner at the George Washington University (GW), he was unimpressed by the flurry of speculation about Saudi Arabia's response to falling global oil prices. Dr. Weiner, the chair of the International Business Department at GW's School of Business, pointed out that Saudi Arabia doesn't mind the lower oil prices and could likely sustain prices of less than $10 per barrel in the short-term.
Saudi Arabia is the big dog of the oil petroleum exporting countries' cartel (OPEC). The country could adjust its crude oil supply or cut production to boost the price of oil; when there is less supplied of a good everyone wants, prices go up. On November 19, New York bank Morgan Stanley forecasted that there was a two in three chance that OPEC would do this at its November meeting. Other analysts maintained that Saudi Arabia wanted lower oil prices to hurt U.S. oil production. OPEC's Thanksgiving Day meeting concluded with no production cuts; the group's output target was held steady at 30 million barrels per day.
Commenting on how this would affect the United States, Professor Weiner said that the average cost of U.S. oil production is high but that marginal costs are not. Basically, there are a lot of costs to start producing oil in the U.S., but once production is up and running, it is not expensive to maintain. Falling oil prices may deter investment in new domestic oil projects, but will not reduce or halt current U.S. production.
Professor Weiner steered our conversation towards issues of greater importance to U.S. policy: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA). While the energy sector nervously watches the world oil price dip and speculates about the outcome of OPEC's decision, this middle-aged set of laws lounges, free from harassment, in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Today, the nearly 40-year-old energy Act bedevils booming oil production in the United States. Despite crude oil production at record levels – 8.5 million barrels a day was the average in July – that same month saw crude oil exports at less than 400,000 barrels per day for the July monthly average. Because domestic refineries are struggling to process the influx of this light sweet crude oil, exporting excess crude makes economic and logistic sense. Read more about different types of crude oil and refineries here.
It bares mentioning that an average of nearly 2.9 million barrels per day of finished petroleum products were exported in the month of July. Most crude oil is processed into various products such as gasoline or diesel, which then can be legally exported. U.S. refiners buy cheap domestic crude oil but sell their refined products on the world market, reaping bigger profits. Some refiners oppose removing the export ban because they will pay more for the oil they refine while other refiners stand to benefit from selling their crude to the highest global bidder.
Jamie Webster of IHS, one of the big companies in energy consulting, estimates that if the crude oil export ban was lifted, U.S. consumers would experience an $0.08 decline in gasoline prices (holding all else constant). Webster explains that by allowing crude oil exports, producers receive higher international prices. This motivates more production and increases the global supply of oil. From economics 101 we know that when there's more product supplied, prices come down. These lower crude oil prices are reflected in what is paid at the pump.
Regardless of whether you support or oppose exporting crude oil for environmental or other reasons, lifting the ban is politically dead in the water. At the recent Ideas Forum hosted by the Atlantic Council, Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz diplomatically skirted the interviewer's question about lifting the crude export ban, suggesting that no one in the current administration would touch the issue. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act appears to be the hot potato that no one wants to catch despite the logistic and economic benefits of lifting the crude oil export ban.

Previous post ← Is there any diplomatic benefit to Kate and Will's visit?
You bring up some good points about lifting the ban on crude oil exports. Maybe the next congress will be willing to tackle the issue. In the meanwhile, I am enjoying the drop in prices at the pump.
Really nice piece Julia. I always enjoy reading your stuff. Fortunately, and maybe unfortunately depending on where you stand, I don't see any changes in policy. The prospect of larger profits for refiners and other players in the market via increased production of crude oil strikes me as probably a bit troubling…of course I'm looking at it from a political and environmental POV.


Hi all as I'm working on restarting my game of The Trilogy War this mouth I thought I'd give everyone a recap of the last 14 years. Warning its a pretty big read and feel free to comment. GAME ON!
The party started out as a fast reaction force of nine Special Guards working for the King of Shan'Tara under the leadership of the Human Bard/Druid, The Lady Drusillia Liadon Along with the Dwarf Cleric Cor Trollhammer, the Human Ranger Taila Torran, her sister Human Fighter/Mage Haila Torran, the Elf Ranger Hawk, the Elf Ranger/Cleric Af'til Fallendill, the units second healer. With the Gnome Thief/Illusionist Flit, the Halfling Thief/Mage Ulthok Rydenham, and the Human Paladin Conell Glendower rounding out the unit, they were called to the King's chambers and told that the King's daughter one Althena Sunblayze long in seclusion at a distant monastery had been kidnapped two days before. With the word of that just now reaching the King he at once ordered the party to go and seek any answers, to rescue her if they could, and get her back to the Capital city as fast as possible. So assigning a Pegasus trooper and his mount to each party member they all flew out to the Monastery to investigate. During the course of this investigation and a set of tough fights it was discovered through a Goblin captive that Althena were being held in magical tunnels formed beneath the Mountains of Steel. As such with this information the party remounted the winged steeds and headed off at speed to the mountains. The party then spent the next year in real time (but only 2-3 days game time) in those same tunnels trying to find the girl. They found her but in the process lost 4 original characters to death, including the party's leader, the Lady Drusilia, along with the Ranger Taila, Thief/Illusionist Flit, and finally the Ranger Hawk. But in the course of saving Althena they did manage to rescue two new characters the Firbolg Giant Samson Skullcrusher and the Elvin Druid Cynil Shadowdancer along with a small number of Dwarves. With the King's daughter in hand, the last remaining Thief, the Halfling Ulthok, then did teleport with her back to the King's castle. The King with his daughter once again safe then had his court wizard's teleport the whole party back and then recalled the Pegasus trooper's home. Out of this came a sense of a great evil awakening and something not altogether normal about the women the party had just saved.
With the death of the parties' leader the King called upon the last five surviving original members to reform a new unit. The Cavalier Alasdair MacKenzie he made its new leader, The Paladin Conall Glendower he made the Lady Althena's personal bodyguard. The Dwarven Cleric Cor Trollhammer was promoted to the rank of Knight becoming the first Dwarf Knight Cleric of Shan'Tara and high cleric of the new unit. Af'Til Fallendill was given a keep of his own but remained a member of the unit. Haila Torran, sister to the dead Talia Torran, was offered wealth and a choice of opportunities, but having just lost her sister in Althena's rescue she as had the others decided to stay The last original member, the Thief/Mage Ulthok, was also given the same choice to stay with the new unit or to become a noble of the court but decided in the end to stay.
Then the rest of the party slowly formed, a Dwarf, Magma Ironclaw, a representative of a nearby Dwarven King and ally of Shan'tara, who had been found among the few surviving dwarves, was declared as third in leadership. Then the Giant Samson and his friend Cynil having been rescued by this party also joined it in thanks. Thus the party numbering 10 (Althena included) did finally get word from the Shan'tarian King of the mission that lay ahead. They were told the tale of the Steel Maiden, a sword of great intelligence and great evil that had the power to corrupt and control any who would carry it and the need to recover it before the dark king himself did so. Althena herself then revealed to the party the truth about her linage, that she was over 1500 hundred years old, the King of Shana'tara and the Kings before him were in truth her care takers/step fathers sworn to do this as a lasting service to Althena's father, Allanan, and why rescuing her had been so important.
Agreeing to undertake the mission to retrieve and bring the sword back to be destroyed was unanimous by all and so once again by Pegasus the party were taken to just outside the City of Helm's Dike. There they all boarded a ship and set sail for the next port of call, the Port City of Chard Rush. After a few days travel they entered a bad storm losing the ships main mast and then found themselves in the calm eye of the storm. It was here the party was attacked by 4 black sailed ships and by the battles end and aftermath the party ended up losing yet another character that of the Giant Samson.
The ship they were on was badly damaged but the party luckily was saved by a second friendly ship and after sinking the damaged one were taken to the port city of Chard Rush in the Country of Ravenshorn. Then while in the port city they realized they were being watched by someone or something clearly evil and a little later after that realization Althena had a vision of a disturbing nature and so the party decided to depart Chard Rush in the middle of the night. The parties escape of the watchers for the moment successful the watchers rage was such that by mornings end the port of Chard Rush was in flames, all its people dead. The watcher was a member of the Shadow Wraiths named Soulcatcher and it was her wraith at losing the trail of the party that caused her and the other Wraiths to destroy the town. Even now she and the other Shadow Wraiths seek to pick up the trail once again.
So upsetting was this, the couple making no secret in their displays, that the Paladin Conall feeling he had failed in his duty left in the night with only his weapons and armor leaving all else behind. With the morning upon them having realized that Conall had left before them everyone mounted and did give chase to find him confronting a number of foes. But before they could join him from beneath the earth arose a great beast, an Earthquake Beetle and with its first breath all of Conall's foes but he and their leader were slain.
But the battle thought done was not, as the Ranger Af'til while searching the belly of the beast did release a new foe, a deadly gem with beams of light so terrible that they caused death instantly. And so it was that the Ranger Af'til's luck did run out and he found himself its only victim. Well after defeating the gem without any other loss of life the party continued north. Luckily a messenger from the King, a female Elf Ranger/Cleric named Rayne Fireheart, flying a Pegasus caught up to the party and decided to continue with them after delivering her message. And so finally the party reached the River city of Star Falls in the dwarf's land of Erebor where the mode of travel was to change from horse to canoes.
It was here that disaster once again struck and the party lost yet two more members, their leader Alasdair and the dwarf Magma inside a bordello of Devil sold souls during combat with two major Devil's the lord Mammon, ruler of Hell's third plane and his consort, Glasya the Princess of Hell. Not knowing that the bordello was in reality located on the Third plane of Hell and was run by the two devils they attempted to rescue Ulthok's Brother, the Halfling Fighter Divot Rydenham who was trapped there due to gambling debts though he had not sold his soul. In the course of the battle, the party having pretty much been defeated, Alasdair being the only one of the party members not dead, badly wounded or unconsious, used the last of his psionic power to teleport everyone but himself to safety. Then from inside, he closed off the Nine Hells from the Prime Material plane. Of the characters the only one not saved by healing was the dwarf Magma who they buried with honors. But having rescued Ulthok's brother the party was only down by one member.
Then it was to the canoes and upriver to Drow Mountain where the sword per Althena was hidden during the course of the river trip Althena was in a dazed state due to the death of Alasdair and unable to walk without guidance or do anything.
Then a clearing was found by the riverside and while camped there for the night the party got into a fight with cannibalistic Tree Men demanding one of the party for a sacrifice and Althena came back to herself and helped save the party. During the course of the fight Cor and Conall were separated from the rest and each other due to a massive magical forest fire that had been caused by the battle. Here it was that Conall had his leg caught in a poisoned pit trap and was almost killed by the Tree Men who had fashioned it. If not for the intervention of a Asian Human Male Samurai named Tomiki Kenji the Paladin would have died. With Cor's arrival the battle was quickly won and after Cor freed Conall from the trap by cutting off the trapped leg he was taken to the town of Main to die as the poison was yet killing him and at the time Cor did not have the power to heal his friend.
While the main party was dealing with the tests in Drow Mountain, Alasdair having fought his way out of hell, ended up forgetting his true identity in the process. Felt himself being pulled towards a mountain in the distance and he made his way towards it. In the course of that he made friends with Sirene Tala Melete an Elvin Druid/Mage and they in turn were joined by Maggot, a Ranger/Bard, just before entering the Mountain. The three then moved through the already completed tests till finally they caught up to the main party. Once reunited with the main party Alasdair seeing Althena remembered who he was, a Paladin pledged to the service of Odin in the great war to come.
Now all characters presently in the game were again part of the main party and they moved onward to test Five where they again found a hard test dealing with mirrors and possession. In the course of beating the test they lost two members to death and Cor was possessed by an evil spirit, it was he actually that caused the two character deaths, Maggot and Rayne, before the rest of the party realized he was evil. Yet in the course of player role play they allowed him to live as he resurrected 1, Maggot, of the 2 party members he killed and promised once he had prayed for new spells that he would bring Rayne back to life. Most of the party agreed to this deal except for Cynil who was frozen, Kenji who was unconscious and Ulthok who thanks to his Ring of Invisibility was invisible, but thought dead by most of the other players as I was NPCing him at that time. In the course of the next few weeks of posting Cor was saved from the possession and welcomed back into the party as a friend and Rayne was brought finally back to life. Then through another test, again it was bested, and afterwards while moving down the next tunnel they found a cave in blocking the way forward and had to instead go through a hole caused by the cave in to another level below the one they were on which in the course of searching brought them to the entrance to a vast cavern in the middle of which rested a large golden colored Pyramid.
Thanks to Althena and her ability to sense the evil sword the party knew that it lay inside the building before them. In the process of getting to it they had to cross through a massive jungle of mutated plants using fire at first, then repeated castings of the spell Cone of Cold, Cynil as huge elephant, and blunt weapons. Finally breaking through the cloying jungle the party found themselves at the edge of what was thought to be a very deep chasm. While discussing on a way to cross the miles long gap to reach the Pyramid the party was attacked by a number of large brain like creatures and in the course of the battle managed to kill all but the two creatures in charge who fled away from the party. During the battle Haila changed into the form of a Silver Dragon and while in this form discovered almost by accident that the chasm in truth was an illusion hiding a number of tunnel entrances leading underneath the Pyramid.
As the party faced a large horde of mutated giant worms on the chasm's far side seemingly guarding the entrance to the Pyramid it was decided by all to take the tunnel below. However as they moved deeper and deeper into the tunnel it started getting smaller, so small they finally had to shape-change and polymorph themselves much smaller and in doing so were able to find a hole large enough to gain them all entrance to the Pyramid without using its front door.
However as they returned to normal size they disturbed a large nest of mutated cockroaches of vary sizes and ended up in a large fight with several thousand that through the use of good teamwork and magic were able to defeat. They rested to regain spells and heal wounds then headed up a flight of stairs to an upper level somehow larger then the one below and have now encountered ten giant sized mutated cockroach/scorpions that at first only watched the party. Then in the course of preparing to fight them Sirene summoned a Fire Elemental causing the ten mutated roach/scorpions to suddenly attack. During the course of this first battle it was discovered that spells and magical weapons had no effect vs. the creatures so the party retreated losing Maggot once more to death.
However as they discussed what to do next, Kenji came up with the idea that perhaps non-magical weapons were the answer so scavenging through the pyramid and their own gear they came up with enough such weapons to outfit each of themselves with at least 1 non-magical weapon. So up the stairs they went and into battle once more with the creatures controlled by the sword. Well to make a long battle short during the course of it Alasdair was revealed to be a Death Knight in disguise sent to get the sword for the demon lord Mammon. Maggot was brought back from the dead by the Goddess Freya. Ulthok's brother Divot returned to the party as a Skeleton Lord almost killing Ulthok and Cor but the two defeated him, but only barely. The party lost Conall, Cynil and Haila to permanent death but in the end gained the evil sword. As the party survivors were heading up the mountain through a new found tunnel they came upon 3 new people who had just escaped from a large Hill Giant camp further up the mountain.
There was the Halfling Thief/Mage Valene Beestinger, she having been held by the Giants for over a year. The Human Fighter Lothor Greenbeard who had been held for roughly 3 months but was soon to be eaten. And finally the Elf Paladin Ayreon Larenthanar who had just been captured 2 days before.
During the greeting and conversation, where all three decided to join the party in their quest, the party learned that due to the magic of the mountain what had seemed time wise like days to the party inside the mountain had been in truth over a year outside of the mountain. In the course of that year the Dark King had invaded the mainland with the largest army ever seen and was slowly conquering mainland Trilogy.
Coming to the conclusion that the only path out of the mountain was through the Giant camp and across a stone bridge leading to the mountains second peak. They continued up the same tunnel and readied themselves for yet another fight. When they finally exited the mountain into a series of three caves they found all the Giants dead with large body pieces scattered around the main cave. Upon closer investigation it was clear they had been killed by one, possibly two, large creatures the bodies also having been somewhat eaten. Well the party having no choice but to move out of the main cave to cross the bridge and fearful of what they would find decided to attempt to teleport from the middle of the bridge to a town on the border of Callahorn. Having only a two of the spell available they decided to once again became small taking up various spots on the Ranger's bard's body. They then finally exited the mountain to see daylight for the first time, for the party, in days.
However sitting on the bridge between the twin peaks of the mountain blocking the way across was a large blue dragon. Before the party could decide what to do the dragon lifted a wing to reveal a stunningly beautiful human looking female, who at once greeted Maggot as if knowing him. During the conversation it was revealed that the women was a Shadow Wraith and one of the Ten Who Were Taken. It was also revealed that at some point in the very, very distant past Maggot had been her lover. Well she delivered her threat and as she was leaving pointed out that she was not alone. Another of the Ten Who Were Taken, the Limper, joining her riding a green dragon. As they both flew out of sight Maggot cast his spell of Teleport to find themselves on the outskirts of the town of GyGax and two days ride from the Callahorn border. Well the party left GyGax and had no problems their first day of travel but on the second day they ran into a large group of Orcs led by a Beholder pillaging a cavern of refugee's, quickly defeating this force they were escorted to the fort of Dragon's Helm guarding one of the mountain passes into Callahorn. From there they traveled South stopping in Citadel and Falth before reaching Craggian Core. It was during this journey that two things happened. Maggot left the party in fear that while in Citadel, with his former Shadow Wraith lover was hunting him magically would use him to zero in on the party and gain control of Althena and thus the sword for her master, Also at the crossroads of Falth they came upon a heavily armored Dwarf surrounded by a good sized group of human refugee scum trying to rob him. Needless to say they watched and helped somewhat as the Dwarf easily took care of himself and when it was all done introduced himself as the beserker Barreel Axehand. Barreel joined the party and traveled with them to the fortress and once inside, as he was not a member of the group said his good byes and went his separate way.
After reporting to the King of Shan'Tara and delivering once again into his arms Althena and now the sword they were put up at the fortress commander's house and there they relaxed. The following days turning into weeks but finally the party was asked to under go a dangerous mission along with a number of similar groups to destroy the enemy artillery bombarding the fort and were assigned a number of temporary extra members to do so, one of these new members was the Dwarf Barreel. The mission undertaken and though a success the casualty count among the party and other groups was high. The party losing all three of the temporary members. Returning to the fort Barreel having been assigned only for that raid once more said his goodbyes and wondered off. Then the party still staying at the home of the fortress commander received another new full time member the Paladin Lady Jessica Voltaire. During the first night of her arrival as most of the party was greeting her in the Manor's main dinning hall the fortress defenses were penetrated and various targets attacked. This included the Manor as it was a main target. In the ensuing battle the raid force was defeated and the Manor held. However the raids were but a diversion as a main attack vs. the outer wall was launched. The next twelve hours was among the fiercest fighting to date as Man, Elf, Dwarf and the party along with various members of the good races fought this dark wave to a halt, then a retreat.
Two days after this battle Ulthok and Cor, the now co-leaders of the party had been called once again before a council of surviving Kings, the raid by the Black Robed led Bhuts along with the fighting at the outer wall having taken the lives of two of them and a prince. King Leoplode of Eshmara, King Gerald of Mya-sith and his son Prince Philipe all killed fighting to defend the fortress within. Standing before this council of nobility the two most senior members of the party were asked to give their account of the night and their thoughts about it. Here they learned that the Black Robed wizards were all clones of the same person created using the deepest of the dark arts. At the meetings end by order of King Maridynn two new party members were assigned to them to bolster the party's ranks and ability to heal and fight in case of another such raid. These were the female Elf Druid Amara Lania'Drian and her Half-Elf sister, the Fighter/Mage Aliya Moonshadow. Both women top notch in skill and purpose. The King after introducing them all left the four of them to return to a slowly recovering Manor house.
The next few days were relatively peaceful, but for the battle beyond the walls, then in the sky above the fortress there appeared a huge flying fortress. At once it began to rain boulders and pieces of stone down on the fortress below doing terrible damage to it's walls and interior and the Kings rushed to put together a number of strike teams of high level Warriors, Clerics and Mage's to find the magic allowing the castle to fly and to destroy it. The party was picked to be one of the strike teams trying to destroy it. After a fierce air battle the party and a few of the other strike teams made it inside the flying fortresses walls. Within the fortress they encountered many enemies and in one nasty encounter with hundreds of slave labor goblins lost their first party member, Amara Lania'Drian, to death. However they did gain a new party member in the form of Roan Fenstrider a Ranger/Cleric, the sole survivor of another strike team. Agreeing to join them the team was still nine in number. With each room searched they forced themselves closer and closer to the fortress core and the power keeping it flying Along the way they discovered that the fortress was from the astral plane and home to Githyanki and their Lich Queen. They lost two more of the party, one to death, the Paladin Jessica Voltaire, and one to capture, the Thief/Cleric Valene Beestinger. However their mission became easier when they were approached by a floating yellow smiley face baring an invitation from The Lich Queen herself to meet with her in her throne room as they were the last of the strike teams still alive.
Needless to say the meeting became a savage battle between the Lich Queen, her advisor, her 4 massive bodyguards and a large number of Githyanki troops. At the battles end all enemies were dead and none of the party were killed. During the battle Ulthok discovered a hidden passage leading to the castles core and the source of its power, a huge pulsating reddish gem in-closed in a crystal globe. Held in place in a spider web type wired frame above a pool of dark water, bursts of electrical flashes coming quickly at random.
Before attacking the flying fort all strike team members had each been given a sort of magically created bomb to destroy the fortress power source and they now came into use. Each member of the party armed their individual bomb's timer and on the same count threw them at the gem. However as they turned to escape the fortress, the magic of the bombs and the gem combined, took an unforeseen turn and they exploded much to early.
The party, caught in the blast, instead of dying caused all to go unconscious, to wake up on a strange battlefield. Seeing a castle in the distance the party headed there and slowly came to realize that the explosion had cast them 1,200 hundred years into the past just days after the defeat of the Dark King and his army at the battle of the Drimmen Dreeve. Upon learning this the party realized the only way back to the future was to find Allanan yet no one knew where he had gone, everyone but the party however. Returning to Drow Mountain they found him locking the evil sword away behind the traps and dangers the party had defeated to gain the sword in the future. Finding him there they also learned a shocking truth… Althena Sunblayze was NOT Allanan's daughter for as a Valar he was sterile and unable to have children. Not having enough magic to send the party home he sent them to gather it at a place called the Isle of the Cyclops and within the anciat tower there. There he could tell after using a powerful scrying spell rested 'something' possecing the magical powerr he would need to create and cast a time altering spell within the ruins of the ancient tower that rested there. Teleporting them to the only place of referance he knew the party landed on on Gryphon Island. Traveling its length to reach the east side of the island to hopefullly find a ship and sail to the Cyclops. Along the way discovering that history was wrong Drow had indeed once walked upon the world of Trilogy. The party luckly were able to avoid a fight with the dark elves and made their way to the islands east end with no fights.
Creating a boat of magic the seven surviving members crossed between islands and after a bloody battle/massacre of cannibalistic creatures moved to and entered the Cyclops Tower. During the course of searching its interior they came across a number of traps and puzzles including one of time and space and another a battle with released Vampires. After returning to a number of searched rooms they finally found a magically sealed doorway down into the lower depths. However upon opening the reason for it being magically sealed was found out as a blast of cold air did burst into the room. This cold such below freezing almost caused the death of the whole party having been unprepared for flash freezing cold. Once healed and now better prepared the party made their way down lower into the tower's underground level to search its depths.
It was during this search they found frozen to a wall the Elf male Ranger Talca Aldavathar. Talca like Ulthok, was lucky to be wearing an amulet of life protection that combined with the effects of flash carbon freezing had allowed him to survive until rescued by the party. With Talca with them they did encounter a giant form of beholder never before seen. Its huge mouth full of teeth as that of a great white shark, its eye bigger then any before and on the ends of it's tenticles were heads looking as if clown faces. Though deadly the party was abled to defeat it without loss of life to the party. After the fight Talca warned the party that the beholder was not the only one and his words came true as two more attacked. In this fight no party members died, however the faery dragon Peri, Ulthok's familiar, was killed. Taking her body and magically protecting it the party moved on.
Soon the party found a fully destroyed wall in the towers lowest level and found that the wall had hidden a huge cavern at first glance easily miles long and deep. With the temperature in this cavarn falling even lower it was clear that the strange beholders had come from here easily breaking through the wall and into the towers depths. After an almost full day of search the caverns interior they discovered a light coming for deeper within. So heading for the light they discovered a huge two mile long and a mile deep mound of ice and a second mound of ice the size of a small hill giant. They also encountered a large number of Klown Beholders both guarding the Ice mound and continually hitting it with blasts of cones of cold. The beholders seeing the party attacked and a battle took place. During this battle with their losses increasing it caused a number of the Klown Beholders hitting the mound with cones of cold to abandon their task and face the party. In this lapse of duties it was discovered that the beholders were not guarding the mound, but imprisoning something within it.
The creature within the mound was quickly discoverewd to be the anciant dragon Kakaranatha, the mother of all dragons, the size of one and a half modern aircraft carriers, she the first true dragon created by Loki the God of Mischief. Loki feeling jealousy after a time at the size and power of his creation and unable to destroy her decided to imprison her here, the Klown Beholders created to be nothing else but her prison guards. Released she quickly disposed of the rest of the beholders quickly and easily. During her fight and quick extermination of them the party found that the smaller, yet giant sized, mound of ice harbored the yet living form of the arch-mage Allanan who after being released told of his ambush after arriving here by teleport with the help of three another powerful mages by the beholders, who had tried to flash freeze him as they had with Talca. However his magic was powerfull enough, and he fast enough, to throw up a shield to hold the cold away from killing him. Once free he told the party that the source of the great pool of magic needed to get them home, was the ancient dragons heart.
This caused the party some concern for Kakaranatha was unlike any dragon or creature fought before. Easily 4x times the size of any known dragon she would be hard to kill and clearly by her being imprisioned instead of killed showed the party that getting her heart could be a suicide type battle. Sirene being a long lived elf enchatress put forth an other option. As Kakaranatha had yet to attack them, though she did watch them, the Elf put forth to talk to her and see if an alternate to battle could be found. After talking with the Mother of Dragons she and Sirene came to a deal. For knowledge of the future Kakaranatha would assist Allanan with getting the group back to their own time.
After a day of telling and with the party rested Allanan and the anciet dragon cast the spell, Allanan deciding at the last minute to join the party in their return. Returning to the exact monent they left Allanan controlled the castles decrustion over Craggian Core instead pushing it over 5 miles away to explode and crash to earth in a field of plains.
Thus the party was home but not to the same home tyhey had left for allowing the dragon Kakaranatha to live they had changed a few things in their world. For upon her release she had travel to Asgard challenged Loki to a fight and upon his death, flinging him to earth to cause the destruction of the center region of Myasith and parts of Greymark. Then having beaten him took his place among the Norse gods and causing a new religion to be born, one based on the worship of her. The news of this destruction having a heavy toll upon the party as the Ranger/Cleric Rayne and her beloved the Ranger/cleric Roan were forced to leave to find out the fate of family living there. With the departure of both of them the remaining party members had lost most of their healing, leaving Cor the sole healer remaining with the party. The party was hit a second hard blow as Fighter/Mage Aliya also decided to depart for personal reasons.

The HRS funds both a law enforcement officer and a public health practitioner in 22 states across the country.


The Rhine Delta Programme is conducting studies into specific parts of the Rhine tributaries to gain a hands-on view of the solutions that prove efficient. Many studies are currently focused on the update of the preferential strategy. A list of all the studies is presented in the knowledge agenda.
River-widening measures in the Rhine, Waal, and IJssel bifurcations area can contribute to the substantiation of other taskings in the area, such as those related to nature, recreation, and energy generation. The province of Gelderland has conducted a study to map out opportunities for social added value and the impact of such measures: Effecten en mogelijkheden van rivierverruimende maatregelen in het splitsingspuntengebied van Rijn-Waal-IJssel (in Dutch).
Over the past one and a half years, the Rhine tributaries bifurcations area project team has mapped out potential measures for this area. In a river management study commissioned by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and Rijkswaterstaat, the effects of such measures have been explored. The study shows how interventions in the bifurcations area can affect the discharge distribution and thus the water levels entailed in different discharge volumes. This study feeds the considerations underpinning the elaboration of Rhine tributary measures, thus generating an overall package of measures that maintains the agreed discharge distribution and is acceptable in terms of side effects.
The results have been set down in the summary report entitled "Rivierkundige studie splitsingspuntengebied" [Bifurcations area river management study].
In December 2017, the MIRT Consultation Committee decided to launch an MIRT Study to further map out the options for realisation and funding of river-widening measures in the Meinerswijk-Stadsblokken and Huissensche Waarden areas. Such a study will provide more clarity regarding the feasibility and costs of a set of integrated measures for the region around the IJsselkop bifurcation.
This decision follows on from a study conducted earlier, which showed that the implementation of river-widening measures in the IJsselpoort Climate Adaptation Park planning area may necessitate river-widening measures along the Neder-Rijn and/or the Pannerdensch Canal, in order to maintain the IJssel - Neder-Rijn discharge distribution under normative conditions. The study will cover the full scope of the taskings at play in the area; it will provide a more detailed picture of the various measures in terms of costs and risks.
The study focuses on the options for advancing decisions and for determining which decisions need to be taken when in order to not miss out on linkage opportunities. The study is scheduled to be completed by October 2018.
With effect from 2005, The Rijnstrangen area has been reserved as a potential long-term retention area. Together with the other government authorities, the Province of Gelderland has explored how this reservation impacts the spatial development of this area. The research report shows that the reservation does not necessarily limit the development potential. Developments that chime with the zoning plan are permitted in any case: new nature and infrastructure, farm expansions, renovations or new housing developments, and a holiday park. An early dialogue with the municipal authorities is advisable for anyone initiating new developments.
In addition, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and Rijkswaterstaat have commissioned a study into the effectiveness of the Rijnstrangen retention area. This study has been prompted by the new flood protection standards and the idea that these would cast the effectiveness of using retention areas such as Rijnstrangen in a different light. The study has explored effective scenarios for the use of the retention area, elaborating the costs and benefits of various options. It shows that, from the perspective of the new standards, the use of the Rijnstrangen area could be effective if its inlet volumes are controllable and geared to discharge forecasts. The study feeds the considerations regarding the elaboration of the Preferential Strategy. Het onderzoek voedt de afwegingen rond de uitwerkingen van de Voorkeursstrategie.
The results have been set down in the final report entitled "Effectiviteit Rijnstrangen" [Efffectiveness of the Rijnstrangen area].
The Preferential Strategy for the Rhine comprises a combination of dyke improvements and river widening. In most cases, if a river is given more room, the water level will fall across a long stretch, including upstream of the river widening. This could save costs with respect to the required dyke improvements. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management has examined the scope of these cost savings.
The "Implementation of Method to Reduce Costs of Dyke Improvements through River Widening of Rhine Tributaries" study shows that the cost savings differ from one tributary to the next: along the IJssel, river-widening measures yield higher cost savings than comparable measures along the Waal. The study will be followed up by mapping out the cost savings for each dyke section. The results, that became available in the autumn of 2016, will be relevant to the update of the Preferential Strategy.
The preferential strategy envisages a dyke relocation near Werkendam (Brakel). However, this measure has failed to garner sufficient support. Further research has generated an alternative that has less of an impact on the area and is considerably cheaper than dyke relocation: secondary channels in the Werkendam floodplains, near Sleeuwijk, and near Avelingen, and flood-proofing the Beatrixhaven port. A final decision on the alternative will be taken at a later date, in the context of updating the Preferential Strategy.
Rijkswaterstaat is investigating which sections of the Waal and IJssel are suitable for the construction of longitudinal erosion control dams. Constructing such dams, parallel to the river embankment, will reduce dehydration. In addition, it will raise the groundwater levels along the river, which benefits the stability of the flood defences. Furthermore, longitudinal erosion control dams are conducive to the navigability of a river. In the period 2015-2021, Rijkswaterstaat will conduct a practical test involving longitudinal erosion control dams.

OXAPROZIN caplets are contraindicated for treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see WARNINGS).
Oxaprozin oral caplets contain 600 mg of oxaprozin.
Inactive ingredients in oxaprozin oral caplets are microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, polacrilin potassium, starch, polyethylene glycol, and titanium dioxide.
Oxaprozin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties in animal models. The mechanism of action of oxaprozin, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood but may be related to prostaglandin synthetase inhibition.
The apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) of total oxaprozin is approximately 11–17 L/70 kg. Oxaprozin is 99% bound to plasma proteins, primarily to albumin. At therapeutic drug concentrations, the plasma protein binding of oxaprozin is saturable, resulting in a higher proportion of the free drug as the total drug concentration is increased. With increases in single doses or following repetitive once-daily dosing, the apparent volume of distribution and clearance of total drug increased, while that of unbound drug decreased due to the effects of nonlinear protein binding. Oxaprozin penetrates into synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis patients with oxaprozin concentrations 2-fold and 3-fold greater than in plasma and synovial fluid, respectively. Oxaprozin is expected to be excreted in human milk based on its physical-chemical properties, however, the amount of oxaprozin excreted in breast milk has not been evaluated.
A population pharmacokinetic study indicated no clinically important age dependent changes in the apparent clearance of unbound oxaprozin between adult rheumatoid arthritis patients (N=40) and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) patients (≥6 years, N=44) when adjustments were made for differences in body weight between these patient groups. The extent of protein binding of oxaprozin at various therapeutic total plasma concentrations was also similar between the adult and pediatric patient groups. Pharmacokinetic model-based estimates of daily exposure (AUC0–24) to unbound oxaprozin in JRA patients relative to adult rheumatoid arthritis patients suggest dose to body weight range relationships as shown in Table 2. No pharmacokinetic data are available for pediatric patients under 6 years of age (see PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric use).
Model-based nomogram derived from unbound oxaprozin steadystate drug plasma concentrations of JRA patients weighing 22.1 – 42.7 kg or ≥45.0 kg administered oxaprozin 600 mg or 1200 mg QD for 14 days, respectively.
A multiple dose study comparing the pharmacokinetics of oxaprozin (1200 mg QD) in 20 young (21–44 years) adults and 20 elderly (64–83 years) adults, did not show any statistically significant differences between age groups.
Approximately 95% of oxaprozin is metabolized by the liver. However, patients with well compensated cirrhosis do not require reduced doses of oxaprozin as compared to patients with normal hepatic function. Nevertheless, caution should be observed in patients with severe hepatic dysfunction.
The pharmacokinetics of oxaprozin have been investigated in patients with renal insufficiency. Oxaprozin's renal clearance decreased proportionally with creatinine clearance (CrCl), but since only about 5% of oxaprozin dose is excreted unchanged in the urine, the decrease in total body clearance becomes clinically important only in those subjects with highly decreased CrCl. Oxaprozin is not significantly removed from the blood in patients undergoing hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) due to its high protein binding. Oxaprozin plasma protein binding may decrease in patients with severe renal deficiency. Dosage adjustment may be necessary in patients with renal insufficiency (see WARNINGS, Renal Effects).
Oxaprozin was given as a once-a-day dose of 1200 mg in most of the clinical trials, but larger doses (up to 26 mg/kg or 1800 mg/day) were used in selected patients. In some patients, oxaprozin may be better tolerated in divided doses. Due to its long half-life, several days of oxaprozin therapy were needed for the drug to reach its full effect (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Individualization of dosage).
Oxaprozin was evaluated for the management of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis in a total of 616 patients in active controlled clinical trials against aspirin (N=464), piroxicam (N=102), and other NSAIDs. Oxaprozin was given both in variable (600 to 1200 mg/day) and in fixed (1200 mg/day) dosing schedules in either single or divided doses. In these trials, oxaprozin was found to be comparable to 2600 to 3200 mg/day doses of aspirin or 20 mg/day doses of piroxicam. Oxaprozin was effective both in once daily and in divided dosing schedules. In controlled clinical trials several days of oxaprozin therapy were needed for the drug to reach its full effects (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Individualization of dosage).
Carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of OXAPROZIN caplets and other treatment options before deciding to use OXAPROZIN. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals (see WARNINGS).
OXAPROZIN is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to oxaprozin.
OXAPROZIN should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylacticlike reactions to NSAIDs have been reported in such patients (see WARNINGS, Anaphylactoid Reactions and PRECAUTIONS, Preexisting asthma).
OXAPROZIN is contraindicated for the treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see WARNINGS).
NSAIDs including OXAPROZIN, can lead to onset of new hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of CV events. Patients taking thiazides or loop diuretics may have impaired response to these therapies when taking NSAIDs. NSAIDs, including OXAPROZIN, should be used with caution in patients with hypertension. Blood pressure (BP) should be monitored closely during the initiation of NSAID treatment and throughout the course of therapy.
Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. OXAPROZIN should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure.
NSAIDs, including OXAPROZIN, can cause serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach, small intestine, or large intestine, which can be fatal. These serious adverse events can occur at any time, with or without warning symptoms, in patients treated with NSAIDs. Only one in five patients, who develop a serious upper GI adverse event on NSAID therapy, is symptomatic. Upper GI ulcers, gross bleeding, or perforation caused by NSAIDs occur in approximately 1% of patients treated for 3–6 months, and in about 2–4% of patients treated for one year. These trends continue with longer duration of use, increasing the likelihood of developing a serious GI event at some time during the course of therapy. However, even short-term therapy is not without risk. NSAIDs should be prescribed with extreme caution in those with a prior history of ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or gastrointestinal bleeding who use NSAIDs have a greater than 10-fold increased risk for developing a GI bleed compared to patients treated with neither of these risk factors. Other factors that increase the risk of GI bleeding in patients treated with NSAIDs include concomitant use of oral corticosteroids or anticoagulants, longer duration of NSAID therapy, smoking, use of alcohol, older age, and poor general health status. Most spontaneous reports of fatal GI events are in elderly or debilitated patients and therefore, special care should be taken in treating this population.
No information is available form controlled clinical studies regarding the use of OXAPROZIN in patients with advanced renal disease. Therefore, treatment with OXAPROZIN is not recommended in these patients with advanced renal disease. If OXAPROZIN therapy must be initiated, close monitoring of the patients renal function is advisable.
As with other NSAIDs, anaphylactoid reactions may occur in patients without known prior exposure to OXAPROZIN. OXAPROZIN should not be given to patients with the aspirin triad. This symptom complex typically occurs in asthmatic patients who experience rhinitis with or without nasal polyps, or who exhibit severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and PRECAUTIONS, Pre-existing asthma). Emergency help should be sought in cases where an anaphylactoid reaction occurs.
NSAIDs, including OXAPROZIN, can cause serious skin adverse events such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal. These serious events may occur without warning. Patients should be informed about the signs and symptoms of serious skin manifestations and use of drug should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity.
In late pregnancy, as with other NSAIDs, OXAPROZIN should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.
OXAPROZIN cannot be expected to substitute for corticosteroids or to treat corticosteroid insufficiency. Abrupt discontinuation of corticosteroids may lead to disease exacerbation. Patients on prolonged corticosteroid therapy should have their therapy tapered slowly if a decision is made to discontinue corticosteroids.
The pharmacological activity of OXAPROZIN in reducing fever and inflammation may diminish the utility of these diagnostic signs in detecting complications of presumed noninfectious, painful conditions.
Borderline elevations of one or more liver tests may occur in up to 15% of patients taking NSAIDs including OXAPROZIN. These laboratory abnormalities may progress, remain unchanged, or may be transient with continued therapy. Notable elevations of ALT or AST (approximately three or more times the upper limit of normal) have been reported in approximately 1% of patients in clinical trials with NSAIDs. In addition, rare cases of severe hepatic reactions, including jaundice and fatal fulminate hepatitis, liver necrosis and hepatic failure, some of them with fatal outcomes have been reported.
A patient with symptoms and/or signs suggesting liver dysfunction, or in whom an abnormal liver test has occurred, should be evaluated for evidence of the development of a more severe hepatic reaction while on therapy with OXAPROZIN. If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop, or if systemic manifestations occur (e.g., eosinophilia, rash, etc.), OXAPROZIN should be discontinued.
Anemia is sometimes seen in patients receiving NSAIDs, including OXAPROZIN. This may be due to fluid retention, occult or gross GI blood loss, or an incompletely described effect upon erythrogenesis. Patients on long-term treatment with OXAPROZIN should have their hemoglobin or hematocrit values determined if they exhibit any signs or symptoms of anemia.
NSAIDs inhibit platelet aggregation and have been shown to prolong bleeding time in some patients. Unlike aspirin, their effect on platelet function is quantitatively less, of shorter duration, and reversible. Patients receiving OXAPROZIN who may be adversely affected by alterations in platelet function, such as those with coagulation disorders or patients receiving anticoagulants, should be carefully monitored.
Patients with asthma may have aspirin-sensitive asthma. The use of aspirin in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma has been associated with the severe bronchospasm which can be fatal. Since cross reactivity, including bronchospasm, between aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been reported in such aspirin-sensitive patients, OXAPROZIN should not be administered to patients with this form of aspirin sensitivity and should be used with caution in patients with preexisting asthma.
OXAPROZIN caplets like other NSAIDs may cause serious CV side effects, such as MI or stroke, which may result in hospitalization and even death. Although serious CV events can occur without warning symptoms, patients should be alert for the signs and symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, slurring of speech, and should ask for medical advice when observing any indicative sign or symptoms. Patients should be apprised of the importance of this follow‑up (see WARNINGS, Cardiovascular Effects).
OXAPROZIN caplets, like other NSAIDs, can cause GI discomfort and, rarely, serious GI side effects, such as ulcers and bleeding, which may result in hospitalization and even death. Although serious GI tract ulcerations and bleeding can occur without warning symptoms, patients should be alert for the signs and symptoms of ulcerations and bleeding, and should ask for medical advice when observing any indicative signs or symptoms including epigastric pain, dyspepsia, melena, and hematemesis. Patients should be apprised of the importance of this follow‑up (see WARNINGS, Gastrointestinal Effects, Risk of Ulceration, Bleeding and Perforation).
OXAPROZIN caplets, like other NSAIDs, can cause serious skin side effects such as exfoliative dermatitis, SJS and TEN, which may result in hospitalization and even death. Although serious skin reactions may occur without warning, patients should be alert for the signs and symptoms of skin rash and blisters, fever, or other signs hypersensitivity such as itching, and should ask for medical advice when observing any indicative sign or symptoms. Patients should be advised to stop the drug immediately if they develop any type of rash and contact their physicians as soon as possible.
Patients should be informed of the warning signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity (e.g., nausea, fatigue, lethargy, pruritus, jaundice, right upper quadrant tenderness and "flu‑like" symptoms). If these occur, patients should be instructed to stop therapy and seek immediate medical therapy.
In late pregnancy, as with other NSAIDs, OXAPROZIN caplets should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.
Because serious GI tract ulcerations and bleeding can occur without warning symptoms, physicians should monitor for signs of symptoms of GI bleeding.
Patients on long-term treatment with NSAIDs should have their CBC and a chemistry profile checked periodically. If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver or renal disease develop, systemic manifestations occur (e.g. eosinophilia, rash, etc.) or if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen, OXAPROZIN should be discontinued.
Concomitant administration of OXAPROZIN and aspirin is not recommended because OXAPROZIN displaces salicylates from plasma protein binding sites. Coadministration would be expected to increase the risk of salicylate toxicity. As with other NSAIDs, concomitant administration of OXAPROZIN and aspirin is not generally recommended because of the potential for increased adverse effects.
Clinical studies, as well as post marketing observations, have shown that OXAPROZIN can reduce the natriuretic effect of furosemide and thiazides in some patients. This response has been attributed to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis. During concomitant therapy with NSAIDs, the patient should be observed closely for signs of renal failure (see WARNINGS, Renal Effects), as well as to assure diuretic efficacy.
OXAPROZIN, like other NSAIDs, has produced an elevation of plasma lithium levels and a reduction in renal lithium clearance. The mean minimum lithium concentration increased 15% and the renal clearance was decreased by approximately 20%.
These effects have been attributed to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis by the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Thus, when NSAIDs and lithium are administered concurrently, subjects should be observed carefully for signs of lithium toxicity.
Subjects receiving 1200 mg OXAPROZIN QD with 100 mg metoprolol bid exhibited statistically significant but transient increases in sitting and standing blood pressures after 14 days. Therefore, as with all NSAIDs, routine blood pressure monitoring should be considered in these patients when starting oxaprozin therapy.
The coadministration of OXAPROZIN and antacids, acetaminophen, or conjugated estrogens resulted in no statistically significant changes in pharmacokinetic parameters in single- and/or multiple-dose studies. The interaction of OXAPROZIN with cardiac glycosides has not been studied.
Teratology studies with OXPROZIN were performed in mice, rats, and rabbits. In mice and rats, no drug-related developmental abnormalities were observed at 50 to 200 mg/kg/day of oxaprozin (225 to 900 mg/m2). However, in rabbits, infrequent malformed fetuses were observed in dams treated with 7.5 to 30 mg/kg/day of OXAPROZIN (the usual human dosage range). Animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response. There are no adequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women. OXAPROZIN should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the potential risks to the fetus.
In rat studies with NSAIDs, as with other drugs known to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, an increased incidence of dystocia, delayed parturition, and decreased pup survival occurred. The effects of OXAPROZIN on labor and delivery in pregnant women are unknown.
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk; however, oxaprozin was found in the milk of lactating rats. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from OXAPROZIN, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Safety and effectiveness of OXAPROZIN pediatric patients below the age of 6 years of age have not been established. The effectiveness of OXAPROZIN for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) in pediatric patients aged 6–16 years is supported by evidence from adequate and well controlled studies in adult rheumatoid arthritis patients, and is based on an extrapolation of the demonstrated efficacy of OXAPROZIN in adults with rheumatoid arthritis and the similarity in the course of the disease and the drug's mechanism of effect between these two patient populations. Use of OXAPROZIN in JRA patients 6–16 years of age is also supported by the following pediatric studies.
No adjustment of the dose of OXAPROZIN is necessary in the elderly for pharmacokinetic reasons, although many elderly may need to receive a reduced dose because of low body weight or disorders associated with aging. No significant differences in the pharmacokinetic profile for OXAPROZIN were seen in studies in the healthy elderly (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Special populations).
Although selected elderly patients in controlled clinical trials tolerated OXAPROZIN as well as younger patients, caution should be exercised in treating the elderly, and extra care should be taken when choosing a dose. As with any NSAID, the elderly are likely to tolerate adverse reactions less well than younger patients.
OXAPROZIN is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to OXAPROZIN may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function (see WARNINGS, Renal Effects).
Adverse reaction data were derived from patients who received OXAPROZIN in multidose, controlled, and open-label clinical trials, and from worldwide marketing experience. Rates for events occurring in more than 1% of patients, and for most of the less common events, are based on 2253 patients who took 1200 to 1800 mg OXAPROZIN per day in clinical trials. Of these, 1721 were treated for at least 1 month, 971 for at least 3 months, and 366 for more than 1 year. Rates for the rarer events and for events reported from worldwide marketing experience are difficult to estimate accurately and are only listed as less than 1%.
In clinical trials of OXAPROZIN or in patients taking other NSAIDs, the following adverse reactions occurred at an incidence greater than 1%.
Skin: alopecia, angioedema, urticaria, photosensitivity, pseudoporphyria, exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, StevensJohnson syndrome, sweat, toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome).
Urogenital: acute interstitial nephritis, cystitis, hematuria, increase in menstrual flow, nephrotic syndrome, oliguria/polyuria, proteinuria, renal insufficiency, acute renal failure, decreased menstrual flow.
OXAPROZIN is a non-narcotic drug. Usually reliable animal studies have indicated that OXAPROZIN has no known addiction potential in humans.
No patient experienced either an accidental or intentional overdosage of OXAPROZIN in the clinical trials of the drug. Symptoms following acute overdose with other NSAIDs are usually limited to lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain and are generally reversible with supportive care. Gastrointestinal bleeding and coma have occurred following NSAID overdose. Hypertension, acute renal failure, and respiratory depression are rare. Anaphylactoid reactions have been reported with therapeutic ingestion of NSAIDs, and may occur following an overdose.
Carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of OXAPROZIN caplets and other treatment options before deciding to use OXAPROZIN caplets. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals (see WARNINGS).
After observing the response to initial therapy with OXAPROZIN caplets, the dose and frequency should be adjusted to suit an individual patient's needs.
As with other NSAIDs, the lowest dose should be sought for each patient. Therefore, after observing the response to initial therapy with OXAPROZIN, the dose and frequency should be adjusted to suit an individual patient's needs. In osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the dosage should be individualized to the lowest effective dose of OXAPROZIN to minimize adverse effects. The maximum recommended total daily dose of OAXPROZIN in adults is 1800 mg (26 mg/kg, whichever is lower) in divided doses. In children, doses greater than 1200 mg have not been studied.
In adults, in cases where a quick onset of action is important, the pharmacokinetics of OXAPROZIN allow therapy to be started with a one-time loading dose of 1200 to 1800 mg (not to exceed 26 mg/kg). Doses larger than 1200 mg/day on a chronic basis should be reserved for patients who weigh more than 50 kg, have normal renal and hepatic function, are at low risk of peptic ulcer, and whose severity of disease justifies maximal therapy. Physicians should ensure that patients are tolerating doses in the 600 to 1200 mg/day range without gastroenterologic, renal, hepatic, or dermatologic adverse effects before advancing to the larger doses. Most patients will tolerate once-a-day dosing with OXAPROZIN, although divided doses may be tried in patients unable to tolerate single doses.
OXAPROZIN is supplied as a solid dosage form in closed containers, is not known to produce contact dermatitis, and poses no known risk to healthcare workers. It may be disposed of in accordance with applicable local regulations governing the disposal of pharmaceuticals.
OXAPROZIN 600-mg caplets are white, capsule-shaped, scored, film-coated, with G and 5002 debossed on the scored side.
Keep bottles tightly closed. Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15–30°C (59–86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container with a child resistant closure.
Vicoprofen contains the same doses of ibuprofen as over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs, and is usually used for less than 10 days to treat pain. The OTC NSAID label warns that long term continuous use may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.


Slay on the dress, and skin front, with this comprehensive guide.
You've picked the date, maybe even got the dress.
And while a gazillion other details might be still to come, like your wet weather plan and where exactly you sit that weird cousin, there's one big thing you'll want to get onto stat – and that's your skin prep – says Zoe Devine, Skinstitut expert.
Devine reckons that's enough time to see improvements in congestion, minor pigmentation or sun damage, and in softening fine lines. In other words, getting that loved-up bridal glow.
Like an initial meet and greet with a personal trainer, what you should expect from your first appointment with your therapist is goal setting, explains Devine.
The tips she's talking about include the obvious off limits lifestyle habits like smoking or drinking to excess, and then the good habits like eating well, getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, reducing stress, and exercising to increase blood flow.
Less-than-perfect habits aside, the one thing Devine says therapists wish brides would stop doing is having intensive treatments like peels, laser, skin needling, close to the big day.
Basically, you're playing skin reaction roulette.
Devine also advises that even the most chill bride, is likely to experience some level of stress leading into the big day, so best to leave the big ticket treatments to the month prior, not a fortnight out.
"If it's less than four weeks until the wedding, your treatment focus should be more on superficial exfoliation and hydration," she says.
And if you think you can outsource your glowy skin to the experts, and tick that off your wedmin list, Devine has some bad news.
"Your homecare regime is the most underrated part of an approach to skin. You can't expect the therapist alone to deliver the results. It's like going to the dentist. You don't go there once every six months for a clean and then forgo brushing and flossing in between. The same can be said for your skin."
This doesn't mean things need to be intensive or over the top at home, just take on the recommendations from your skin therapist. Yep, it's those everyday habits that add up to your dream wedding day – and maybe that bizarre cousin behaving.
Select a skin therapist at a salon or clinic that is convenient for you to visit on regular intervals. Professional treatment intervals may be monthly or fortnightly (depending on your specific plan) so you want getting there to be easy.
Set your budget after your first consult. Your therapist can easily adjust your recommended treatment plan and homecare regime accordingly.
Start hydrating now. The more hydrated your skin, the better your make up will sit throughout your wedding day. Dehydrated skin can exacerbate skin challenges. Look out for these signs: scaly looking skin, taut skin, superficial lines, shiny skin, premature ageing, minor blemishes or breakouts.
Think about your at-home routine. This means using products at home that have been prescribed for your skin goals, and modifying any lifestyle habits.
Have a gentle exfoliation a few days prior. Your make-up artist will love you for the clean slate.
