text: content LE Magazine August 2004 N-acetylcysteine Oral acetylcysteine reduces exacerbation rate in chronic bronchitis: report of a trial organized by the Swedish Society for Pulmonary Diseases. This multicentre trial was undertaken to confirm previous results indicating that long-term treatment with oral acetylcysteine reduces the exacerbation rate in patients with chronic bronchitis. Two hundred and eighty-five patients, smokers or ex-smokers, with chronic bronchitis started a pre-trial placebo-period of 1 month. After this run-in period 259 patients were included in the trial and randomized into two parallel groups. The patients were treated in a double-blind way either with acetylcysteine 200 mg b.i.d. or placebo b.i.d. for 6 months. The trial was completed by 98 patients in the acetylcysteine group and by 105 patients in the placebo group. Initially, there were no significant differences between the groups. Twice weekly, the patients filled in a diary card concerning symptoms. The number of exacerbations was assessed from these cards and at visits 2, 4, and 6 months after institution of therapy. The exacerbation rate was significantly lower in the acetylcysteine group in which 40% of the patients remained free from exacerbations compared to 19% in the placebo group. Sick-leave due to acute exacerbation was significantly less common in the acetylcysteine group. The drug was well tolerated. Eur J Respir Dis. 1983 Aug;64(6):405-15 Are anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory treatments effective in different subgroups of COPD? A hypothesis. The treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with inhaled corticosteroids or anti-oxidants is still under debate and the identification of sub-groups of COPD patients who may benefit from either anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant treatment is needed. We re-analysed data from an earlier study of inhaled beclomethasone therapy in COPD (n = 28) and asthma (n = 28) patients in order to determine patient characteristics that predict a favourable inhaled steroid treatment effect. A higher bronchodilatory response, a faster decline of FEV1 prior to the treatment period and a lower Tiffeneau index were significantly related to more beneficial treatment effects. Increased smoking tended to be related to less steroid treatment benefits, though it was not statistically significant. In this paper these findings are presented in light of the available literature on anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant COPD treatment. On this basis the hypothesis is presented that anti-oxidant treatment might be relatively more effective among those COPD patients who respond less well to inhaled steroids (low reversibility and heavy smoking). Respir Med. 1998 Nov;92(11):1259-64 N-acetylcysteine: potential for AIDS therapy. The observations that people infected with HIV suffer not only from an inflammatory stress but also from depleted glutathione levels have led to a general hypothesis that these two are causally related, and that treatment of AIDS should include thiol-replenishment therapy. In particular, inflammatory stimulations are dependent on intracellular thiol levels, as they are potentiated at low glutathione levels (oxidative stress) and inhibited at high glutathione levels. Inflammatory stress may itself lead to decreased levels of glutathione. HIV has taken advantage of inflammatory signals to regulate its own replication; thus, the HIV infection is exacerbated by low levels of glutathione. We have shown that N-acetylcysteine can inhibit inflammatory stimulations, including that of HIV replication. Since N-acetylcysteine can replenish depleted glutathione levels in vivo, we suggest that it be used as an adjunct in the treatment of AIDS. Pharmacology. 1993;46(3):121-9 Significance of glutathione in lung disease and implications for therapy. Glutathione is a tripeptide that contains an important thiol (sulfhydryl) group within the central cysteine amino acid. Glutathione is involved in numerous vital processes where the reducing potential of the thiol is used. Several lung disorders are believed to be characterized by an increase in alveolar oxidant burden, potentially depleting alveolar and lung glutathione. Low glutathione has been linked to abnormalities in the lung surfactant system and the interaction between glutathione and antiproteases in the epithelial lining fluid of patients. Normal levels of intracellular glutathione may exert a critical negative control on the elaboration of proinflammatory cytokines. The increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species is believed to correlate with the activation of NF-kappa B, a transcription activator linked to the elaboration of several cytokines. There is now sufficient data to strongly implicate free radical injury in the genesis and maintenance of several lung disorders in humans. This information is substantial and will help the development of clinical studies examining a variety of inflammatory lung disorders. Am J Med Sci. 1994 Feb;307(2):119-27 Acetylcysteine protects against acute renal damage in patients with abnormal renal function undergoing a coronary procedure. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the efficacy of the antioxidant acetylcysteine in limiting the nephrotoxicity after coronary procedures. BACKGROUND: The increasingly frequent use of contrast-enhanced imaging for diagnosis or intervention in patients with coronary artery disease has generated concern about the avoidance of contrast-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN). Reactive oxygen species have been shown to cause CIN. METHODS: We prospectively studied 121 patients with chronic renal insufficiency (mean [+/-SD] serum creatinine concentration 2.8 +/- 0.8 mg/dl) who underwent a coronary procedure. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either acetylcysteine (400 mg orally twice daily) and 0.45% saline intravenously, before and after injection of the contrast agent, or placebo and 0.45% saline. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were measured before, 48 h and 7 days after the coronary procedure. RESULTS: Seventeen (14%) of the 121 patients had an increase in their serum creatinine concentration of at least 0.5 mg/dl at 48 h after administration of the contrast agent: 2 (3.3%) of the 60 patients in the acetylcysteine group and 15 (24.6%) of the 61 patients in the control group (p < 0.001). In the acetylcysteine group, the mean serum creatinine concentration decreased significantly from 2.8 +/- 0.8 to 2.5 +/- 1.0 mg/dl (p < 0.01) at 48 h after injection of the contrast medium, whereas in the control group, the mean serum creatinine concentration increased significantly from 2.8 +/- 0.8 to 3.1 +/- 1.0 mg/dl (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic oral administration of the antioxidant acetylcysteine, along with hydration, reduces the acute renal damage induced by a contrast agent in patients with chronic renal insufficiency undergoing a coronary procedure.

After my friend received her real estate agent's license, she took a job working with a broker well-known to the community. At first, my friend strictly sold residential properties, but soon graduated to selling commercial properties. She loved working as a real estate agent; however, her real dream was to purchase Indianapolis investment properties. She had lived in the Indianapolis region all her life, and knew the community like the back of her hand. After much consideration, my friend decided to take a course that would allow her to sit for the state broker's exam so that she could open her own office.
After getting her real estate broker's license, my friend purchased two Indianapolis investment properties that were once owned by her boss. The properties were in pristine condition and were maintained by a commercial property management company. The management company fields telephone calls from tenants, arranges for landscaping services and contracts out for repairs. My friend says that without the help of the management company, she would not be in a position to invest in commercial real estate. Managing commercial properties is very time consuming, and the demands are just too great for her to navigate on her own, she says.

3 Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves
Aurizon Mines
Aurizon Mines (AZK) is a gold-producer engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold projects. This stock closed up 5.3% to $4.70 on Tuesday.
Tuesday's Range: $4.45-$4.76
52-Week Range: $3.19-$5.77Volume: 1.32 million Three-Month Average Volume: 764,977 From a technical perspective, AZK ripped higher here right off its 200-day moving average of $4.44 with heavy upside volume. This stock recently gapped up big from around $3.40 to $4.60 with strong upside volume. Shares of AZK are now quickly moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if AZK manages to clear some near-term overhead resistance at $4.79 to $4.81 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in AZK as long as it's trending above some key near-term support at $4.42, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 764,977 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then AZK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $5.30 to $5.37. Any high-volume move above $5.37 will then put $5.57 to $5.77 into focus for shares of AZK. Mexico Energy Mexico Energy (MXC) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties located in the U.S. This stock closed up 12% to $6.47 on Tuesday. Tuesday's Range: $5.90-$6.48 52-Week Range: $4.50-$11.48 Volume: 11,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 3,463 From a technical perspective, MXC soared higher here back above its 200-day moving average of $6.17 with above-average volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of MXC within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if MXC manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $6.90 to $7.29 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in MXC as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $6.17, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 3,463 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then MXC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $7.70 to $8. Any high-volume move above $8 will then put $8.50 to $9.50 into range for shares of MXC.

Do I Need Creatine?
Answer: Creatine is a combination of amino acids that's found naturally in meat and fish. Some athletes use creatine supplements and powders to increase body mass and improve performance. Research shows that creatine may boost muscles' energy reserves. "However, it's most beneficial to people doing short bursts of intense activity," says Roberta Anding, RD, a clinical dietitian in sports medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. If you're trying to increase muscle mass through strength training, a creatine-laced smoothie before your workout could help, but it isn't necessary. It won't help you get leaner faster, and for some, it may cause muscle cramps or contribute to dehydration. Bottom line: Use with caution.

Comments about Garmin vivofit with Heart Rate Monitor:
I like the fact that you don't have to charge it every week, but it does need to keep up with the Fitbit flex and the UP regarding food intake and being able to sync with apps like Runkeeper and others. Overall I am happy with the Garmin Vivofit and to date no issues. We bought three when they first came out so well shall see how it measures up to the others.

Most of the women are afraid of their looks, but the main concern of maximum land up to their facial hair. Facial hair are intolerable and distracts the clear and clean face. It is a general battle of women with their facial hair. However, there are minimal hair on the face but at times there is a sudden rise of facial hair which is so called hirsutism, a real hormonal imbalance is the cause of it as the levels of oestrogen in the body determines the facial hair growth. It is true that hirsutism is a long term problem and before you could actually impart waxing, shaving and other treatments it gradually grow more. A permanent cure is however not found, but there are certain home remedies which can benefit you in several ways
1. Turmeric: In Indian homes, It is usually found and comes with great beauty facts. Turmeric is often applied to get a glowing and clear face. Turmeric is highly antibacterial which helps in fairer complexion, and removing those harsh hair. It is great when applied with gram flour. It is said that turmeric possess the properties of curbing hair growth.
2. Gram flour: It is traditionally used in various Indian homes as a great face mask. The properties it has are highly beneficial to counterpart the dullness of the skin. Gram flour when mixed with turmeric and yoghurt gives you result which are effective than any facial treatment. As we know the natural remedies are deprived of any side effects and so it holds true for this mixture which removes out those small in-grows.
3. Sugar mix: A home made wax like substance can offer you the qualities of wax with no or less pain. However, this process is highly effective but it comes with a mess and might get bit painful. The substituents of this mix are lemon and honey, which acts as a bleach with little or mild irritation on the face. Taking lemon juice, honey and sugar by heating them to a moderate level and apply the same can jeopardise the appearance of hair after the mix is removed. It is removed by a cloth strip and a general process of waxing is executed here.
4. Egg mask: Take the white of an egg, and put a tablespoon of sugar and half a tablespoon of corn flour. Give it a good stir until it forms into a paste and apply the same on the face where you find facial hair. Let it dry for some time and you will witness a mask which is formed. It can be removed out easily plucking up all the unwanted facial hair. This remedy of egg mask is widely used as all the ingredients are easily available at home and gives the good results.
5. Include phytoestrogens in your diet: A proper meal plan also helps in getting rid of facial hair. Facial hair are generally rises by hormonal imbalance and it will get severe if the diet habits are not taken under consideration. Researchers are studying the effect of phytoestrogens in patients with hormonal imbalance; results indicate that consuming food rich in phytoestrogens results in less growth of hair on the face. Flax Seeds, fennel, alfalfa(rajika), and Gotu Kala( Brahmi in north India) are rich in the content of phytoestrogens. Adding the same to your diet plan can make significant change in combating hirsutism.

Fear of success?
I recently read a quote that says: 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure'
I've been experimenting with ideas, fear,risks and allowing myself to work out my ideas and I've had amazing success so far, but there's this nagging fear of these astonishing results. It's as if I'm afraid of succeeding! Has anyone ever felt this? Why are we so afraid of things working out FOR us? And how can we remedy this?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 18 2012: I experiment/ed that...
The deepest concern (not fear) became not looking too good...
Few are the ones that welcome someone/something better or potentially better than them in doing something... specially if well intended.
Generally, the world value the fake humbles, smart-asses, selfish, self centered, tricky. People tend to think they are not a thread to the well established equilibrium. (I know you in TED are not like that... but TEDsters are just few thousand). =)
Then money, if you are good you get payed and if you are really good and get too well payed someone risks having less value than before you appeared and risks also not being payed and no one actually likes to make that extra effort to be worthy when before the effort wasn't needed...
Then at an individually level, in general people need their ego's well filled and we all know how ego's are sensitive..
Dreams and exceptions apart, sadly this is how things work in general...
All summed up if you have success you will need to work not only to have it, to maintain it but also to convince other people you are a good asset instead of a threat...if you are lucky people eventually understand.
As you may not know this by fact but you surely have seen it happen, you have that sub conscious feeling to avoid being successful... deep down you know you will get in a lot of trouble!
Now the advice part: do not care about it! Go for it! Specially if you let your ego apart and do whatever you do with the best intentions, based on the most valuable values that there are!
Feb 19 2012: Hello João,
Nice to see you again on TED, and I sincerely hope your new position is going well:>)
I believe that before we can "convince other people you are a good asset instead of a threat" we need to convince OURSELVES that we are an asset rather than a threat. Before we can feel successful with others, we need to feel successful within ourselves:>)
Good summary, and I LOVE your last comment...."Go for it... let your ego apart and do whatever you do with the best intentions, based on the most valuable values that there are!"
Feb 19 2012: Hi Colleen,
Thank you for the kind words,
In this new phase I am.... learning... a lot... lets say it like this.
I have been around TED =) every other day, I have been checking the talks, fast reading comments from everyone but in particular people I have as reference in TED (you for instances).
I have been and will be more in the position of reading and learn =)
Kind regards
Feb 20 2012: Thank you for the kind words.
Ego means the "I" ( usually stands in front of "We"/"Us").
So in this case we are talking about, if you come to a place where your ideas, character, energy or presence will make people around to admire your work and to have you as a valuable asset to the group, most likely there will be some one in the group who will fill his/her ego affected, because once upon a time that was his/her role.
This kind of people just need to realize that for the group (being group a team, a division, a department, a company, a society, a nation or world) their "I" can't compromise the "We".
As the new comer should always understand that his "I" exists and is valuable as long as it is relevant and good for the "We".
We can all be proud of our unique capacities but we can only be glistering when we realize how the group has benefited from them.
We have to understand the dynamics and how things change naturally. Embrace other and grow as an all, learning with who is, who goes and who comes.
A practical example: I am truly happy for you to have this topic, because I think you are investing time and gathering people interested in something I think is most important. Whereas if I was obsessed with my Ego, I would be either upset because I wasn't the one who open this topic or I would be opening a similar topic that would be MINE.

A product that simulates virginity is causing an uproar in Egypt. The device, used to fool men on their wedding night by simulating "proof" of their new bride's "purity," is being sold in several countries in the Middle East. The product is no joke. In some cultures, there is a heavy stigma for women who participate in premarital sex.
Here's how it works: The device is inserted into the vagina and emits a small amount of fake blood when "triggered." For women who don't have the money to shell out for the popular and illegal hymen-repair surgery, the $15 contraption is a safer and cheaper alternative.
The product is currently being targeted by Egyptian scholar Abdul Mouti Bayoumi, who believes anyone caught importing the controversial device should be put to death for "spreading vice."
It should be mentioned that you can still get if that made any sense at all.

Comfortable and Convenient Condo
Very comfortable condo for a family visit to Orlando. The condo is centrally located with great freeway access to all of the attractions and other parts of Orlando. You will not lack for space to spread out and enjoy time with family. The washer and dryer are a plus on hot Orlando days. The condo has everything that you need and a Publix right down the street. Thanks Irina for a great stay! Seattle, Washington
Really wonderful place to stay!
Wonderful condo in an ideal position. It really felt like a home from home. It was immaculate and extremely clean. Communication was excellent from the owners Bill and Karen. We will definatly stay here again! Thank-you so much for sharing your lovely home with us.
We have been to the Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida area several times with our children, but always rented a hotel/motel for whatever we could find for a good price. This time since our 2 youngest were now teenagers we decided to rent a home so everyone could have their own space. After searching for many hours and reading through an exuberant amount of listings and reviews, we decided that this condo looked to be the best decision for our family. I emailed Bill and we soon became friends. He was very nice to chat with, both in email and over the phone and even offered suggestions regarding things to do, places to go and restaurants to eat at. His restaurant choices were excellent! Now for the Condo. We were very nervous and worried that the pictures couldn't possibly be for real, in light of the low cost of the home. However, when we walked through the door we were all in awe at how beautiful this condo is. As I have gotten older I find that I am extremely picky about where I eat and where I lay my head at night. It was very spacious, very clean, and had every necessity we needed. And the location was perfect, with minutes to many restaurants, grocery stores, and very close to all Disney/Universal parks. We also drove over to Cocoa Beach for a day! My only complaint about our vacation was the weather as it was extremely hot, but lucky for us the air conditioning in the condo worked great and we were delighted to walk through the door every night. I have nothing but nice things to say about this condo, Bill and our entire vacation. I look forward to coming back that way and booking from Bill and his wife again!

Where to Meet Rich Women
Ready to lock down the wealthy woman of your dreams? Aren't we all. Meeting a woman who's wealthy takes some strategy, so check out these tips to figure out where to meet rich women
By Jonathan Hackman
Whether you're looking for a sugar mama or you simply want a woman who can keep up with you in terms of finances, dating a wealthy woman certainly sounds nice. However, if there were attractive, rich women in ample supply, everyone would be with one, which is certainly not the case. In order to find out where to meet rich women, you've got to do a little research.
ALSO: Cheap Date Ideas That Won't Make You Look Cheap
If she's rich on her own terms, it might be hard to figure out where she's hanging out, because she's likely working most of the time. Try joining an exclusive gym – that way, you'll know she can has a significant amount of disposable income, and she's probably in pretty good shape. High end spas are another place rich women might hang out, but these ladies are more likely to be more mature and previously married if they have time to go to the spa during the day.
Rich women, especially cultured ones, spend a lot of time at art events. Pick a high-brow art that you like, whether it is visual art, dance or theater, and get involved. Go to openings and join in discussions. As long as you can avoid sounding too pompous, you'll be fine.
One of the best tips for where to meet rich women is to hang out with other rich people. Usually there is an elite tier within a community consisting of families who make a certain income. Insert yourself into their circle, and they may invite you to some of the events they attend or host. This is a great way to make yourself seem reputable and in the "in" crowd.
If you've tried it all and still can't figure out where to meet rich women, don't give up hope. There are a number of websites that cater to men and women exclusively interested in millionaires. Try millionairematch.com if you're willing to be frank about your preferences when it comes to a girl's financial stability.

(1) needs more context. It could mean several different things. It is unclear here.
(2) should either be "we are driving" or "we are walking" - you don't need "by road" as that is obvious. If you are not actually driving, then "we are going by bus" or "or we are being driven" or whatever.
(3) needs more context, too. It could mean several different things. It is unclear here. If it is a simple imperative, then it is correct.
(4) if the question is of the word cemented, then you should replace it with concrete. Cement is one of the ingredients in concrete, and by itself is a powder, and not very useful in fencing. (Cement is also glue, as in plastic model cement, but that wouldn't build much of a fence, either.)
(5) Probably, you invited her to dinner. If you say to "a" dinner, then it implies something a little more specific, as if you wanted her to taste the cuisine, rather than to share your company. I suppose that you could invite her for dinner as well as to dinner; in my mind the for limits your engagement to dinner and nothing else. I would keep your hopes higher and invite her to dinner and see what comes of it later.

How to Throw an Eco-Friendly Birthday Party
Party planner Lucy Riles shows moms how to throw a birthday party that's good for the environment ... and good for your pocketbook!
Lucy Riles: What young child doesn't love the outdoors and getting a little dirty? Here's one way to throw your child's next birthday party AND help planet Earth!
Here's what you do:
Contact your local State Park: Tell them you are throwing an eco-friendly birthday party for your child and would like to come down and plant trees. Make sure to contact the State Park 4-5 weeks prior to the party.
Eco-Friendly Invitations: Make your invitations from old newspaper, maybe from the comics section. In marker, write out the details to the party. Send the invites with your daughter or son to school to hand-deliver. If you want something sturdier, you could also cut up cardboard from your last case of pop (yes, pop! I'm from the Midwest) and write the invites on that -- tree-shaped cards would be appropriate. And if the kids are older and have e-mail addresses, you can always send an Evite. Make sure the invitation specifies what you will be doing so they can dress accordingly.
Eco-Friendly Favors: Each child receives a tree to plant in the park. As a take-home party favor, you can give each child an eco-friendly canteen and a set of gardening tools, which they will use to plant their tree. Also, send the kids home with some flower seeds to plant in their backyard.
At the Park: First, check with the park ranger to find out what area is best to plant your trees. After the tree is planted, use the water from a nearby river or lake. If there's no body of water, you can bring your own water, but only in a container ... no water bottles allowed! Once you are finished, go for a hike around the park, pointing out different types of trees, how old they might be, and maybe even leave some time for climbing a tree. If this is a larger group, be sure there are enough adult supervisors for the hike. After the hike, settle down in a grassy area for a picnic where you can sing "Happy Birthday" and eat some cupcakes. No cake for this eco-friendly party ... paper plates and plastic spoons are not allowed!
Do you have any tips for throwing an eco-friendly birthday party? Connect with Lucy in the momlogic community!
|Lucy Riles is an LA-based party planner. Being the youngest of 12 children, Lucy and her mom were always coming up with new, exciting ways to throw a great party on a budget!
Thank you for some awesome ideas.
Hey Lucy I am a single Dad but at times I have to step into the roll of being what most would call "The Mother Roll". Anyway I heard of this article and thought I would take a look. I am happy to hear that there is someone out there promoting quality time with your children by simply going outside. It doesnt cost a dime, your kids stay active and best of all they get worn out. I think its time to throw a tree climb into the mix. I am proud to say that my daughter wouldnt know what to do if she were confronted with a video game.
I love this idea! I will have to remember this when I have kids.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles California and have been functioning inside the business for the majority of my life. One of my existing projects is really a forum for that fashion business.
What a fantastic post, I found it extremely helpful. Going to have to add this blog to my favorites and i look toward reading your other posts. Keep up the astounding blog posts!
With thanks for this post! Even so, I had a challenge viewing this post in Safari 5. Just wished to carry that for your interest! With thanks.
Some genuinely wonderful posts on this internet site,regards for contribution.

- POSTED: 27 Jun 2014 21:13
- UPDATED: 28 Jun 2014 00:05
The United States on Friday signalled its intent to eliminate its stockpile of anti-personnel landmines and to eventually join a global treaty banning them, boosting efforts to rid the world of the weapons.
WASHINGTON: The United States on Friday signalled its intent to eliminate its stockpile of anti-personnel landmines (APLs) and to eventually join a global treaty banning them, boosting efforts to rid the world of the weapons.
The high-profile announcement was made at a conference in Maputo, Mozambique, which was aimed at ultimately ensuring no armed forces use APLs by 2025.
The number of people killed or maimed by landmines fell in 2012, the global watchdog Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor says, but was still at 4,000. In many cases, the mines are leftovers from wars that ended decades earlier.
"Today at a review conference in Maputo, Mozambique, the United States took the step of declaring it will not produce or otherwise acquire any anti-personnel landmines in the future, including to replace existing stockpiles as they expire," National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said a statement.
In 2009, Washington said it was reviewing its position on landmines but -- along with Russia and China -- has failed to sign the Ottawa Convention that bans the use of APLs and envisions their eventual elimination.
Nuclear powers India and Pakistan have also not signed up, and nor has Iran.
Long-standing critics of the US policy say Washington's rivals are waiting for the United States to move before they do likewise.
The White House gave no timeline as to when it might eventually sign the treaty, but Hayden said: "Our delegation in Maputo made clear that we are diligently pursuing solutions that would be compliant with and ultimately allow the United States to accede to the Ottawa Convention."
"We are conducting a high fidelity modelling and simulation effort to ascertain how to mitigate the risks associated with the loss of APL," she said.
"Other aspects of our landmine policy remain under consideration and we will share outcomes from that process as we are in a position to do so."
The United States has provided more than US$2.3 billion in aid since 1993 in more than 90 countries for conventional weapons destruction programmes, Hayden noted.
Since Mozambique hosted its first landmine conference in 1999, the number of state parties to the mine ban convention has more than tripled from 45 to 161, although key major powers remain on the sidelines.
The US stockpile is believed to consist of about nine million self-destruct anti-personnel mines, Human Rights Watch said, cautiously welcoming Washington's announcement.
"The US has finally come out of the shadows in indicating it intends to join the landmine treaty, and let's hope it will move ahead rapidly to come on board," said Steve Goose, HRW arms director.
"This is an important acknowledgment that the treaty provides the best framework for achieving a world free of deadly anti-personnel mines."
The executive director of Handicap International US, Elizabeth MacNairn, welcomed the announcement but cautioned that the lack of a timeline meant Washington "runs the risk of allowing its landmine policy review to drift" beyond the end of President Barack Obama's time in office.
But Howard "Buck" McKeon, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, accused Obama of being more interested in playing politics than saving lives.
"Once again, the president makes an end-run around Congress and demonstrates his willingness to place politics above the advice of our military leaders," McKeon said.
"His announcement today is perfect for a feel-good press release but bad for the security of our men and women in uniform.
"It is truly an expensive solution in search of a nonexistent problem. Irresponsible landmine use by other countries has come at a high humanitarian price, but America isn't part of that problem."
Mozambique, once one of the world's most heavily-mined countries, is held up as an example of successful mine clearance in sub-Saharan Africa.
In the 1990s, it was estimated it would take 50-100 years to rid the former Portuguese colony of landmines planted during its war of independence and a subsequent civil conflict.
Today the country has set a deadline of the end of the year to be free of all known landmines.

Top 5 Breast Implant Sizes for Breast Augmentation
What are the most popular sizes of breast implants used in breast augmentation?
To find out, we did an analysis of the last 125 cases of breast augmentation procedures performed by Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez in our surgery center located in Baltimore, Maryland. So what styles and sizes of implants were most popular? Glad you asked!
Saline vs. Silicone Implants
The comparison of silicone implants to saline implants was a landslide win for silicone. After more than a decade of breast implant hysteria in the 1990′s, silicone implants are solidly back as king of the mountain.
- Approximately 80% of our patients choose silicone implants over saline implants.
High Profile vs. Moderate Profile Breast Implants
The next criteria we compared was moderate profile implants vs. high profile implants. Each size of silicone implants can be either moderate profile or high profile. High profile implants give more projection and have a smaller base diameter. The implant also has a slight oval shape compared to the moderate style. Moderate profile implants do not give as much fullness and are completely circular, which means they occupy more space horizontally on the chest wall compared to high profile implants.
High Profile -86% : Moderate Profile- 14%
- High profile implants trounced moderate profile implants by a 6 to 1 margin.
Most Popular Breast Implant Sizes
Breast implants come in a wide range of sizes which go from 200 cc to 800 cc. They are generally sized in increments of 25 cc, which is about the size of a kitchen serving spoon. Since 1 cc= 1 ml, you can use a kitchen measuring cup to get an estimate of size. Fill the cup with water up to the number of ml's (cc's) and pour the water into a plastic baggie. Voila! You have a quick rough estimate of your new implant size. However, to get the best idea of implant size, you should ask your plastic surgeon for the sample size.
Here at CosmeticSurg we let all of our breast augmentation patients try on every size that is manufactured. The photo above is the actual display cabinet of various implant sizes. During consultation, patients can try on as many implant sizes as needed to help them make the best selection.
- The winners of the most popular breast implant size contest are:
|400 cc
|350 cc
|450 cc
|500 cc
|425 cc
Looking back at breast implant choices over our latest 125 breast augmentation procedures, it's clear that
Our most popular implant is a high profile, 400 cc, silicone implant.
our most popular breast implant is a high profile, 400 cc, silicone implant.

"Why would you not reforge?"
"Why would you not reforge?"
Maybe because Blizz said that by cutting so many secondary stats in the run up to Cata it would now be so much easier to know which stats we really needed to emphasize, and yet they obviously failed because we still need 3rd party websites to tell us which stats we should be gemming or reforging toward.
So they didn't cut anywhere near enough, yet expect us to reforge to make up for their mistakes. Sorry, I still not willing to buy red gems, so I won't be dropping any gold to reforge something that might be replaced in a week or two.

98 degrees
98 degrees
This summer 98 Degrees is out on tour as opening act for New Kids on the Block, along with Boyz II Men. Called The Package Tour, this is an excellent opportunity to enjoy 98 Degrees tickets for the quartet's reunion and a chance to see three groups that represented boy band music for two decades from the middle of the 1980s to the middle of the first decade of the 21st century.
In addition to the tour, 98 Degrees has a new album, 2.0. This is not an album released simply for the sake of making a little extra money or to create an excuse to perform live again. This is an album meant to feature four men who have strived to grow and expand as musicians. The first effort from this new age of 98 Degrees will be "Microphone". The single is going to lead into the tour this summer, when the band plays 48 shows.
Artist Biography - 98 degrees
The group 98 Degrees is a rare boy band to have emerged in the middle of the 1990s. Not only did the band manage to keep all of its original members from the start, but the four singers made an effort to veer away from bubble gum pop, embracing more R&B influences. The result has been a quartet that enjoyed a terrific run from 1997 to the beginning of the 21st century, after which 98 Degrees tickets would remain unavailable until 2012.
All this began with one man, Jeff Timmons. Timmons had been attending Kent State University until singing with three friends one night and eliciting thrills from the girls in the crowd. The next day he left for Los Angeles. There he met a fellow relocated Ohio native. He turned him onto Nick Lachey, who was still in college back in Ohio at Miami University. Lachey too left college and the recruited friend Justin Jeffre and brother Drew to relocate from Ohio and New York City to Los Angeles.
They became 98 degrees, one of the few boy bands to emerge organically and not manufactured by a label executive or producer. One of the disadvantages of not being manufactured is that the group does not have any contacts. This meant 98 degrees took on odd jobs before finally finding a way onto R&B star Montell Jordan's tour as the opening act. After signing with Jordan's manager, who signed the group to tour, the band finally had some traction.
This traction resulted in the self-titled debut album, which made a decent impact in the United States but dominated in Canada. 98 Degrees and Rising, the second studio album, made the group a huge hit in their home country. The singles "Because of You", "The Hardest Thing", and "I Do (Cherish You)" were major hits in the States and meant the group had become almost household names.
The boy band phase waned in the 21st century, and 98 degrees struggled. But, with the boy band demand back in full force and their former fans ready to enjoy a little nostalgia, the group has reunited and is even recording new material.

Nicki Minaj: Most hateable TV personality ever?
Why the 'Idol' judge has made us anti-Thursday night
I think Nicki is very immature, as is the case with a lot of child "stars". I am not going to watch the show, as she is like a bull in a china shop. She seems incapable of accepting the fact that words can hurt.
But someone made the call to hire her, & that is who should explain why you would hire a person as unstable as Ms. Minaj to be a judge for the show. I think Simon would put her in her place. Ask him what he thinks.
My take on this is she should be fired for being a bully. AI should have a zero tolerance policy for her behavior toward the contestants as well as the judges
Sorry, but the line between what you call "harsh" and cruel is not a fine one. Ms Minja displays all the characteristics of a bully, and an extremely cruel one at that. There is something very wrong with that rapper. I saw it first hand in NYC when she was scraping gum off the sidewalk and proceeded to ingest it. One would say a sow for certain.
The thing about blogs like this one is that one is able to post and say whatever they want without any true information. A judge is supposed to be harsh to make the contestants aware of their mistakes and become better especially on a huge show like Idol. Everyone has received tough criticism, and although it may have hurt our feelings it made each and every one of us better in the long run. So to call her an insecure bully is a little harsh and disrespectful. Ms. Minaj has worked very hard to become the entertainer that she is today. So unless you're able to say all of this to her face, which you probably can't Mr. Herzog, then you shouldn't say it at all. Have a great day:)

Cannabis May Help Fight Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer patients are warned not to treat themselves by smoking the drug
Compounds found in cannabis may help combat prostate cancer, new research shows.
Active chemicals identical to those in the drug halted the growth of therapy-resistant prostate cancer cells in the laboratory.
They also reduced the size of tumours in mice with the disease.
Scientists in Spain said the research pointed the way to promising new treatments for prostate cancer.
The disease affects more than 35,000 men in the UK each year and kills around 10,000 of them.
But an expert from Britain's leading cancer research charity said the early results did not justify getting high on cannabis.
Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This is interesting research which opens a new avenue to explore potential drug targets.
"But it is at a very early stage - it absolutely isn't the case that men might be able to fight prostate cancer by smoking cannabis.
"This research suggest that prostate cancer cells might stop growing if they are treated with chemicals found in cannabis.
"But more work needs to be done to explore the potential of the cannabinoids in treatment."
Cannabis chemicals - called cannabinoids - have already been investigated as potential anti-cancer treatments.
In the latest research, conducted in Spain, scientists tested a cannabinoid mimic or "analogue" and synthetic cannabinoid on three lines of human prostate cancer cells.
Two were advanced forms of the cancer which no longer respond to hormonal therapies.
Men with such "hormone refractory" disease generally have a poor survival outlook.
Professor Ines Diaz-Laviada, who led the scientific team at the University of Alcala, said: "Our research shows that there are areas on prostate cancer cells which can recognise and talk to chemicals found in cannabis called cannabinoids.
"These chemicals can stop the division and growth of prostate cancer cells and could become a target for new research into potential drugs to treat prostate cancer."
The findings have been published in the British Journal of Cancer, which is owned by Cancer Research UK.

Led by NLC's Museums & Heritage staff and supported by local history societies from all over North Lanarkshire, the project focuses on the creation of a suitable storage environment for the historic records of North Lanarkshire as well as creating a new learning space for heritage events and activities.
The project will see the relocation of the North Lanarkshire Council archives service from Cumbernauld to Motherwell. The new and refreshed facility, expected to open in April 2012, will include a combined Archives and Local History search room, a new records repository for the Council's collections, a community learning space and a refurbished gallery and exhibition space.
The well-equipped and inviting community learning space and a programme of community learning events and activities will help to introduce new user groups to the facility, help new and established users to make the most of our varied collections, and train community heritage groups in looking after their own collections.
Commenting on the award, Councillor Jim Logue, Learning and Leisure Convenor, said: "We are thrilled to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and are confident that the new archives, local history and learning facility will transform access to our heritage. I'm delighted that North Lanarkshire's vibrant and diverse archives, which reach back more than 500 years, will have a new home to serve this and future generations of students, family-history researchers and historians."
Colin McLean, Head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in Scotland, said: "North Lanarkshire Council's archive is bursting with stories and pictures that give us clues about what life was like and how that has shaped us into what we are today. This is a fantastic project that will help communities to explore those stories and take pride in their local heritage."
If you would like to know more about the project, or to find out more about how you can access archives and local studies in North Lanarkshire contact: Alison Mason, Records Manager at North Lanarkshire Council Archives and Records Centre, on 01236 638 980

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The private investigator hired by the family to find Dr. Teleka Patrick has a new theory on what may have happened to her, but it's just a theory.
Jim Carlin thinks that she may have checked into a treatment facility.
He says HIPAA laws would protect her anonymity and privacy.
Carlin says he has other theories he is investigating but believes she is still alive and agrees with the County Sheriff's Department that the real mystery is what happened to her when she got out of her car after it went off I-94 in northern Indiana on December 5th.
Information that has gone public in recent weeks about her obsession with Grand Rapids Gospel performer Marvin Sapp, and that "dilusions" broke up her marriage bolster the treatment theory.
Kalamazoo County has been leading the investigation but refusing comment for the past few weeks. They say they may release additional information about the case in a week or two.

Autonomic Neuropathy
If you live with diabetes, you may be familiar with the numbness and pain caused by peripheral neuropathy, or nerve damage. But you may not be as familiar with the form of diabetes-related nerve damage known as autonomic neuropathy.
The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary functions of the body, such as:
- heart rate
- blood pressure
- bladder function
- digestion
- vision
- salivation
- perspiration
Autonomic neuropathy attacks and damages the nerves that manage these functions. It can be more difficult to recognize and to diagnose than peripheral neuropathy because it short-circuits bodily functions rather than causes pain or obvious numbness.
Autonomic neuropathy can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the nerves that are affected. Symptoms can include:
- incontinence
- constipation
- diarrhea
- dizziness
- sweating too much
These are also common symptoms of a number of other medical conditions, so autonomic neuropathy can be hard to diagnose. Often, a diagnosis isn't made until organ damage has occurred.
The Types of Autonomic Neuropathy
Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy
Although it can cause severe cardiovascular problems and sudden death, surveys show that only 2% of people with diabetes are tested for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN).
Gastroparesis, sometimes called delayed stomach emptying, is caused by nerve damage to the digestive tract. In addition to causing gastrointestinal distress, gastroparesis can also affect blood sugar levels. Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, reflux, weight loss, heartburn, and feeling full early. There are several drug options and investigational devices available for treatment.
Neurogenic Bladder
Nerve damage to the urinary bladder can cause incontinence, urinary tract infections, and kidney disease. Unfortunately, patients often feel too embarrassed to report their symptoms to their healthcare provider.
Sudomotor Neuropathy
Nerve damage to sweat glands can cause you to sweat too much and lead to dry skin. This can lead to infection and heat stroke.
Hypoglycemic Unawareness
People with hypoglycemic unawareness do not experience the normal symptoms of low blood sugar, such as sweating and rapid heartbeat, that act as a warning system for people with diabetes. They can go dangerously low and even lose consciousness before realizing that their blood sugar is low. If you don't experience the usual symptoms associated with hypoglycemia, make sure you test your blood sugar more often.
Neuropathy is one potential cause of erectile dysfunction, and can play a part in female sexual dysfunction as well.
Visual Impairment
Ocular nerve damage can affect eyesight, especially night vision.
How to Treat and Prevent Autonomic Neuropathy
Controlling your blood sugar is the best way to prevent serious neuropathy complications. You should check your blood sugar often, and speak with your healthcare team about your diet, exercise, and medicine medication plan.
Treatment of autonomic neuropathy depends on the nerves that are affected and the symptoms you have. Treatment often focuses on managing your symptoms and preventing further complications.
