The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to use Reumofan dietary supplements, after receiving reports of bleeding, stroke and death among people taking the pills.
Reumofan Plus and Reumofan Plus Premium are marketed as natural remedies for arthritis and muscle pain, but the FDA says the products actually contain several prescription drugs. A chemical analysis by the agency found that Reumofan Plus contains three drugs, including the muscle relaxant methocarbomal and the anti-inf...
The FDA first warned consumers about the products in June, but says complications have continued to be reported.
Reumofan products are manufactured in Mexico by Riger Naturals and sold in the U.S. at retail shops and over the Internet.
TOKYO, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- As development on Square Enix's highly anticipated role-playing game Final Fantasy XV continues, director Hajime Tabata has cited Naughty Dog's The Last of Us as inspiration for the game's story.
Speaking with the Examiner, Tabata discussed the storytelling goals of Final Fantasy XV and how the plot will interact with the gameplay.
"We are really trying to aim for something where the gameplay and storytelling are really one in the same," Tabata said while also noting, "It's important that the story progresses through the gameplay in a very unforced way, in a similar way that it was done with The Last of Us."
The Last of Us, a critically acclaimed Playstation exclusive launched in 2013, was noted for its emotional and touching story between its protagonists Joel and Ellie, a young girl he was protecting, as they journeyed across a post-apocalypse United States.
Noctis, the main character in XV will be going on a similar journey that, as Tabata explains, "is a really big part of the game."
"One of the important threads of the story in Final Fantasy XV is that tale of how Noctis goes from being a young prince in waiting to becoming the king of the country," the director said before noting how the game will feature "a number of different human connections," and explore the bond Noctis has with his father.
"The car that Noctis and his friends drive through the world is actually the car that he received from his father as a memento," Tabata said. "Through that you sort of see his connection with his father."
Final Fantasy XV is still without a release date but Tabata confirmed that the title would launch in 2016 for Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
The next Active Time Report, a live broadcast where new information about the game is expected to be announced, is scheduled to take place in January.
Recently, Square Enix announced that an older entry in the series, Final Fantasy IX would be re-released on PC and smartphones.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia-based private equity group Baring Vostok appealed on Monday for President Vladimir Putin to intervene in a criminal investigation into its U.S. founder Michael Calvey and other executives.
Calvey and the others deny wrongdoing and say the case is being used to exert pressure in a business dispute.
In an open letter posted on its website, Baring Vostok said it was appealing to Putin to take the case under his personal control to ensure it was investigated objectively.
“I don’t know if the President has seen the letter and how it was sent, but we will report to him about the letter based on the media reports,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
A Baring Vostok executive and another man held in the case are due to appeal their arrest later on Monday. Calvey is due to appeal on Thursday.
Trump targeting Amazon -- and the Post?

Long before the sailboats, paddleboarders and kayakers filled the placid waters of Marina del Rey's main channel, the neighborhood was intended to be the West Coast's busiest port.
In 1887, a developer named M.C. Wicks set out to create the commercial harbor, choosing a marshy area known for excellent duck hunting and fishing. But within three years, a flood had destroyed the port, and Wicks' Port Ballona Development company went bankrupt.
The marsh was mostly spared for the next 70 years. Duck hunters and their dogs roamed its brackish waters while development slowly nibbled away at its margins. Houses were built along the spit of beach to its west. Venice rose to its north. Howard Hughes whiled away the years with the construction of his Spruce Goose a...
By the 1950s, the plan for a port had morphed into an ambitious scheme to create the nation's largest man-made marina: The Playa del Rey Inlet and Harbor of Venice, CA. The development's boosters, understandably concerned about the downsides of trying to promote such a mouthful of a brand name, lobbied successfully to ...
After 12 years of construction, the first boats sailed into the harbor and settled into their slips, and for three decades afterward, Marina del Rey played a raucous, outsized role in SoCal life.
MdR was for years a notoriously active outpost of L.A.'s swinging singles scene. The marina lifestyle of the '70s and '80s inspired the retroactive dubbing of California soft rock as "yacht rock." Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys dove into the marina and never came back up.
And now, 50 years after it opened, the marina is trending again. Once-dowdy industrial areas east of Lincoln Boulevard are sprouting new loft-style housing, modern condo and apartment buildings are going in along the margins of the basins, and even Fisherman's Village and its iconic, kitschy lighthouse are set to be re...
Seafaring in SoCal: The experience of sailing out to sea from the marina, with the wind in your face and the blue-green expanse of Santa Monica Bay stretching out before you, should be on everybody's bucket list.
Where the '70s still live: Whether you're lying out at Mother's Beach, lazily pedaling your beach cruiser down the Marvin Braude Bike Trail or just watching the sea lions sunning themselves, the chilled-out vibe of Marina del Rey is hard to resist.
Dining by harbor light: From the old-salt ambience of Whiskey Red's to the New American cuisine of Cafe del Rey, there are plenty of places to dine while the sun lazily drifts below the horizon and the marina transforms into a wind-ruffled mirror alive with reflected running lights.
Lincoln Boulevard: Traveling to, from, and through MdR more often than not requires a drive down the Westside's most congested north-south artery, a test of even the most Zenned-out commuter's mettle.
Jesse Weinberg, principal real estate agent at Marina del Rey-based Jesse Weinberg & Associates, said the neighborhood has become an attractive place to live for tech employees who work in nearby Venice and Playa Vista.
"The big difference with the Marina is you do get more for your money," he said. "Venice average price per foot is easily around $1,000 for single-family homes, but in Marina you could find stuff for $600 to 700 a foot, so you get a nice discount."
The value tends to get better the further south a buyer looks in Marina del Rey, Weinberg said. And there's a lot to choose from.
"It has a really unique mix of properties, from single family-homes to full-service high-rises that you don't see so much of in Venice or other parts of L.A.," he said.
In June, the median for combined single-family home and condominium sales in Marina del Rey was $900,000, up 11.1% year over year, according to CoreLogic.
There are no schools within the boundaries of Marina del Rey, as defined by the L.A. Times' Mapping L.A. tool.
Nearby schools include Coeur D'Alene Avenue Elementary, which scored 911 out of 1,000 in the 2013 Academic Performance Index. Short Avenue Elementary had a score of 835, and Westside Leadership Magnet scored 787.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are slowly winding down their pre-draft visits and it appears as though the team will have yet another defensive back in town on Tuesday.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Texas A&M cornerback Brandon Williams will be visiting with the Steelers on Tuesday.
Williams, who measured in at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine at 5113, 197-pounds, converted to cornerback from running back last year. He registered 37 total tackles last season along with 7 defensed passes in the 13 games that he started at the position.
Williams started his college career at Oklahoma but transferred to Texas A&M after his freshman year. That move resulted in him being forced to sit out the 2012 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
Being as Williams is so raw, he could very well wind up going undrafted. The best-case scenario for Williams would probably include him hearing his name called in the sixth-round as he did register strong times and numbers while in Indianapolis for the combine.
A nearby solar system bears a striking similarity to our own solar system, raising the possibility it could harbor Earth-like planets.
Epsilon Eridani, located about 10.5 light-years from our sun, is surrounded by two asteroid belts that are shaped by planets, astronomers at SETI Institute and Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced today.
But it's the possibility that currently undetected smaller planets could lie within the innermost asteroid belt that make the solar system intriguing to astrobiologists.
"This system probably looks a lot like ours did when life first took root on Earth," said SETI's Dana Backman, lead author of a paper on the 850-million-year-old star that will appear next year in The Astrophysical Journal, in a release.
Back then, the Kuiper Belt of space objects beyond Neptune was much larger. Over time, many of those objects fell into the inner solar system during a period about four billion years ago known as the Late Heavy Bombardment.
The barrage of large asteroids pockmarked the rocky planets and possibly created our moon when a large object collided with Earth, expelling a huge amount of material into space.
Epsilon Eridani's evolution could provide insight into how universal these processes are.
just far enough from the sun not to be fried but close enough to capture enough energy to support life as we know it. Similar systems could end up with planets orbiting in the same biological sweet spot.
"Epsilon Eridani looks a lot like the young solar system, so it's conceivable that it will evolve similarly," said astronomer Massimo Marengo of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, a co-author of the paper.
Right now, Epsilon Eridani is surrounded by three asteroid rings that scientists believe are held in formation by large planets, the first of which is theorized to sit about half the distance from Mars to Jupiter. In the new paper, two other large planets, slightly farther from their star than Uranus and Neptune are fr...
It will take more sensitive instruments — perhaps like the next-generation of planet-hunting telescopes — to determine whether any would-be Earths lurk inside the habitable zone near the star.

THERE are so many things you can’t do in the big, bad city, and you’d think that one of them would be climbing down a manhole when you’re not an employee of the Department of Transportation or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority or Con Edison. But you would be wrong.
Thanks to Bob Diamond, the man who rediscovered a 19th-century Atlantic Avenue train tunnel in Downtown Brooklyn, you can scurry down a certain manhole without being hauled away by your ankles by the authorities.
Behind a wall in the tunnel, near Atlantic Avenue and Hicks Street, he believes, there is a steam locomotive lying on its side like an abandoned toy train, in “pristine condition, a virtual time capsule.” And he wants to dig it up.
Mr. Diamond’s passion for the project has drawn the interest of a movie director named Trey Nelson, who is working with an entity called Hungry Man Entertainment to film a documentary about Mr. Diamond’s quest. If all goes well, the project could take the story of the man and the tunnel into the stratosphere.
The tunnel draws people from all over the city and tourists from abroad. I got tunnel fever when I was walking to a market in Brooklyn Heights and came upon the surreal sight of ordinary folks crawling into a manhole, some of them wearing their nice clothes. They were lined up in the middle of the intersection at Atlan...
“What’s going on?” I asked a man about to climb down.
“Oh, some guy dug a hole to China,” he replied with a smirk.
The truth, said a woman waiting her turn, was that this was the entrance to an abandoned tunnel built in the 1800s. To see it, all I had to do was fork over $15 to a man who described himself as “one of Bob’s elves.” I pondered briefly: Should I buy groceries or explore the bowels of Brooklyn? The choice was clear: Who...
Greg Castillo, the 48-year-old vice president of the historic association, stood guard.
“Ever had any accidents?” I asked.
“Absolutely not,” Mr. Castillo said.
Thus emboldened, I scrambled down a ladder as cars and trucks whizzed by my head, walked through a dirt trench and a doorway cut into a brick wall, and took a step back in time, into the arched tunnel. Built in 1844 by the Long Island Rail Road under the direction of the wealthy Cornelius Vanderbilt, the tunnel was sea...
The space seemed to be a balmy 65 degrees, and as more people congregated there, the air became thick with expectation. Two boys, like any good explorers afraid of the dark, came prepared with head lights and flashlights.
Suddenly, the voice of a woman floated above the buzz. “Spirits! Spirits! Arise!” the voice said as two women dressed in 19th-century garb appeared.
Here was a key element of the tour: An acting troupe called LiveFeed punctuated the experience by performing what Aimee Davis, one of the group’s producers, calls “re-imagin-actments.” That’s historical fact mixed with a liberal dose of creative license.
The explorers began noticing a nattily dressed man carrying a suitcase. Asked to identify himself, the man whispered: “American agent. I’m trying to be covert.” His meeting with a “German spy” went down before our very eyes.
Then Mr. Diamond gave the word, and the tour began.
Mr. Diamond’s own story is the stuff of Brooklyn lore. Back when he was a disillusioned young engineering student at Pratt Institute, he was looking for something to believe in.
