I don't get it. We live in Durango. In the mountains. Where it snows. Every winter. So why can't people manage to shovel their sidewalks? Or they wait several days after a storm, and then make a fruitless attempt. By that time, foot traffic has completely compacted the snow into treacherous ice. Why does winter take people by surprise? – Annoyed
Durango has a peculiar relationship with snow. When it falls in the mountains, there's much rejoicing and folks pay a lot of money to play in the white fluff.
Yet when snow falls on one's sidewalk, that fun-filled substance becomes an unbearable burden.
In the backcountry, a shovel is an essential tool. Every responsible person who skis "off-piste" has a shovel.
But here in town, a shovel seems optional. Some irresponsible people are "piste-off" that they should own one.
A lot could do with Durango's rental rate. About half of Durangoans rent their abode, according to the latest U.S. Census data.
Is shoveling the landlord's responsibility? Nope.
The Durango City Code has the cold, hard facts on snow and ice.
"It shall be the duty of the owner, tenant and occupant of any premises abutting or adjoining any public sidewalk to remove all snow and ice from such sidewalk," reads Section 21-36.
If you don't take care of the sidewalk, the city will take care of it for you. It will hire snow shovelers, then bill you for their work and tack on 25 bucks.
Another possibility is that a person slips and falls on your unmaintained sidewalk. When the victim of your negligence hires a personal-injury attorney, you won't have a snowball's chance.
But it's not predominately a dutiful homeowner/slacker renter thing, points out our friend Shane Roukema, one of the city's code-enforcement officers.
"We have nonshoveling problems everywhere. Renters. Owners. Businesses. You name it," he lamented after last week's storm.
"I don't know what people are thinking," he mused. "They must believe some friendly elf comes along and clears the sidewalk."
Someone does come all right. But it's not an elf. It's Shane. Or another code officer.
They don't have pointy ears and a shovel. What they do have is a pointy writing instrument and a citation book.
The holiday timing of the last two storms had a lot to do with lackluster shoveling rates, Shane pointed out. Many folks were out of town visiting friends and family.
What really slays Shane is "abandoned" vehicles on the street.
"After it snows, some people find their car plowed in. So they just leave it there and don't do anything," he said.
"They don't brush the snow off the hood or roof and it sits there for days. After a while, someone reports it, so we go out and 'green tag' it," he said. Owners have 24 hours to move it or the vehicle is towed.
"Most times, the owner calls up and yells at us. 'It's MY car and it's NOT abandoned!' they scream. But how are we to know? It hasn't moved in a week. It's covered in snow. No one is taking care of it. That's pretty much the definition of abandoned."
So let's start off the new year with a clean sweep, starting with the sidewalks and your parked car.
If you're elderly and need help, call La Plata County Senior Services at 382-6429 for assistance.
If you don't have a shovel, betcha your neighbor would be more than happy to share.
Or hire the neighborhood kids, who need to get outside more often and could use odd jobs.
And if you don't want to deal with sidewalks, move to the Animas City neighborhood where there are none, and the cantankerous and libertarian residents, including Mrs. Action Line, aim to keep it that way, thank you very much.
Email questions to "mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com" firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you wash your car this week to ensure we get more snow.

This is a surgery to remove severely diseased and damaged lungs. They are replaced with healthy lungs from a deceased donor. One or both lungs may be transplanted. In some cases, a heart transplant is done at the same time. In that case, the procedure is called a heart-lung transplant .
Reasons for Procedure
A lung transplant is done to treat irreversible, life-threatening lung disease, such as:
- End-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema
- Cystic fibrosis
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (a genetic disorder)
- Sarcoidosis
- Severe scarring or inflammation of the bronchioles (smallest airways)
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have a lung transplant, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Rejection of the donor lung (your body's immune system attacks the new lungs)
Conditions related to taking immunosuppressant drugs
- Infection
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Kidney damage
- Osteoporosis
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Death
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before you have a lung transplant, you will go through an intensive evaluation. This is done to determine if you are a good candidate for this surgery. During the evaluation, which often requires a hospital stay, you will have some or all of the following tests:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Tissue typing
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Chest CT scan —to look at the lung structure
- Echocardiogram —to examine the size, shape, and motion of the heart
- Pulmonary function tests —to measure the function of the lungs
- Ventilation-perfusion lung scan—a test that examines the movement of blood and air through the lungs
- Cardiac catheterization —to detect problems with the heart and its blood supply
If you are a good candidate for a transplant, you will be put on a waiting list. There is a shortage of donors. You may need to wait a long time. You will need to carry a cell phone with you at all times. This will allow the transplant team to reach you if a donor lung becomes available. Donors are matched carefully for size, tissue type, and other factors. In some cases, a healthy family member can donate a lung if you only need a single transplant.
Leading up to your procedure:
- Arrange for a ride to the hospital.
- Take medicine as directed. Check with your doctor before taking over-the-counter medicine.
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (such as, aspirin )
- Blood thinners, like clopidogrel or warfarin
- Eat a light meal the night before. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
Description of the Procedure
For a single lung transplant, the doctor will make an incision on your side. It will be about six inches below your underarm. For a double lung transplant, the doctor will make an incision across the lower chest.
You will be put on a ventilator and a heart-lung machine. This machine will take over the functions of the heart and lungs during surgery. Next, the doctor will remove a small section of rib. This will allow access to your lung. The old lung will be cut away from the main blood vessel and bronchus (large airway). The new lung will then be inserted. The doctor will attach the blood vessels and bronchus to the new lung.
Immediately After Procedure
You will stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 2-3 days. The doctors and nurses will monitor you.
How Long Will It Take?
- 4-8 hours for a single lung transplant
- 6-12 hours for a double lung transplant
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will have pain during the recovery process. Your doctor will give you pain medicine.
Average Hospital Stay
This surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 7-10 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you shows signs of rejecting the new lungs or have other problems.
Post-procedure Care
Arrange for help at home.
Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
For the rest of your life, do the following to maintain the health of your new lung or lungs:
- Take immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs will help to prevent your body from rejecting the new lung. Only take drugs approved by your doctor.
Have regular
lung biopsies
. A sample of lung tissue will be taken at regular intervals to check for lung rejection:
- Every three months the first year
- Twice a year the second year
- Once a year in subsequent years
- Have blood tests done.
- You may need chest X-rays and EKGs.
- Measure your temperature, weight, and blood pressure levels regularly.
Make lifestyle changes, such as:
- Avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke and other toxic elements
- Exercising regularly to help maintain lung capacity
- Limiting your intake of salt, foods high in fat and cholesterol, sweets, and alcohol
It will take about six months to recover from a lung transplant.

As a barbarian, she's no longer a Faq unit. Unless Jillian specifically requests her services (would Jillian even remember, much less care about, Marie?), she doesn't have an "official" connection to the side any more. And at the moment, she'd also be breaking the taboo on going through a portal you don't own (a minor detail, in the circumstances).

What started as the WikiLeaks Revolution has sparked the spread of change across the Middle East; Social media has empowered oppressed people into revolution. Common people with little access to the World Wide Web because of censored internet connections have still found loopholes with smartphones and social media networks like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube to communicate, mobilize, and force change in long standing governments.
In what has become known as the internet black hole the governments of Burma, China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam have effectively blocked targeted internet access to information and often shut off access to any internet completely. The government of Iran is actually aggressively planning it's own Muslum Internet to censor all information accessed within it's own territory and plans to spread it across the Middle East eventually replacing the World Wide Web. Ali Aghamohammadi, Iran's head of economic affairs, describes this "Halal Global Network" this way:
"the new network would at first operate in parallel to the normal Internet — banks, government ministries and large companies would continue to have access to the regular Internet. Eventually, the national network could replace the global Internet in Iran, as well as in other Muslim countries."
Despite the efforts of these governments to censor information from leaving their borders the people of these countries have paid with their blood to successfully distribute the social media out onto the World Wide Web demanding change. These have been picked up by the major news networks and kept the flame of revolution ignited. By smuggling videos and messages hidden on tiny SIM cards to relatives and news reporters and publishing media via smartphones the people of the Middle East continue to revolt against their oppressive government embracing social networks Twitter, Youtube and Facebook as their weapon of choice. As it turns out it may be the only weapon they have against these repressive regimes.
Egyptian and Google executive Wael Ghonim started a Facebook Fanpage "We are all Khaled Said" in honor of a young man, Khaled Said, who was brutally attacked and eventually killed by policemen. His page, which currently has 125,103 fans, sparked anger not only in Egyptians, but also in people all over the world. Ghonim was able to spread the news of the Egyptian revolution to anyone and everyone and is largely credited with sparking the revolution that toppled the Egyptian government. He also used his Twitter account to tweet up-to-the-minute accounts of what was going on in the streets of Egypt.
By using these social networks people around the world can keep up with exactly what is going on in these countries and they can publically show their support. During the Egyptian revolution, many people on Facebook, worldwide changed their profile picture to the Egyptian flag, showing their support for the people of Egypt. Now we see in Syria the Youtube videos of what the government is doing to it's own people within it's borders including the young boy who was brutally tortured and killed by the Syrian Government. With up to the minute information being published on social networks Twitter, Facebook and Youtube by the people themselves many are turning to these social networks to get the news coming out of the Middle East.
While some critics argue that too much credit is being given to social media and not enough is being given to the protesters themselves, I think we can all agree that the revolutions may not have played out the same way if Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube hadn't been involved.

All of a sudden the thought of Dai working with Nichol sounds like a dream!!!
Dai is an accomplished skater. He will do well with whoever he works with. Looking forward to his forthcoming programs.
4STh posted this in the GSD:
http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_newsTakahashi is working on his 2012-13 programs with Lori Nichol.
I can't wait to see what they come up with! And I agree with spikydurian and The Accordion, he will be awesome with anything he is given. I can't imagine anything he can't do.
Also, I really, really want him to skate an exhibition to "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson.
Takahashi is not working with Lori Nichol this season after all -- refer to today's article posted in GSD: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...15#post3595715
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
And now IFS FB claims Daisuke has confirmed that he will indeed work with Lori Nichol! Any other source confirming this? It seems rather strange.
Great, now all he needs is Belbin's mom to start designing his costumes and I'm in absolute heaven.
Dai's SP as performed at FOI
Dai arrived in Russia on September 6. He will be training with Morozov and his group for about 3 weeks. The training camp is taking place at Novogorsk Training Center which is a top notch facility.
Still no information regarding his LP.
I'm a Patrick Chan fan but it's hard not to love this guy
I'm a fan too, enjoy watching him more than any other male skater today. Hope he goes for gold and next Olys!
One of the reasons is that there are only 2 more seasons fans can see him as an eligible ( Dai said he is going to quit after Sochi.) and there are only 4 more competition programs of him we can see. His coach Utako Nagamitsu said it makes her sad when she thinks about she can see only 4 more programs of Dai from now.
^Thank you. Dai looks great! Wish the video was longer tho.
Congrats to Daisuke and Team Japan for winning Japan Open

^^ Thanks ostile! I re-posted the above in the Japan Open thread in GSD.
From Japan Open thread in GSD:
As far as I'm concerned, Dai Takahashi should be the current and defending World champion right now. What I love about Dai is that he's not just a great champion, he's a great person with grace and charisma. He's a true gentleman. He worries not about his competition. He just absorbs and learns all he can, and he works hard and focuses on what he can do to improve and to grow as a skater and a person. That is what makes him such a great champion, and such a wonderful human being.
Dai has challenged himself continually and he has sought out choreographers, dancers, coaches and mentors to help him be the best he can be. No, he's not a perfect skater -- he still has areas of weakness. But guess what? D**n if he isn't the best male skater in the world right now. Dai don't rest on his laurels or wimp out because it's hard and he suffered a serious injury. If landing quads is going to be what it takes in the men's field, Dai decided to focus on working extremely hard to raise himself back to the level of landing them successfully. He also has never stopped continuing to challenge himself artistically. Last year, I don't think the judges properly rewarded him. But Dai never hung his head or got down on himself or blamed the judges. He just decided to keep on working hard. He kept performing to a high level, and he should have won Worlds 2011 on the basis of his great performances. But again, he didn't blame the judges. He probably said to himself, ... "I did all I could and I performed my best, and I'm almost there. Now, what can I do to improve for next year?"
Lovin' you Dai!!! Thanks and keep going strong!!! Best of luck, always.
Amazing how he managed to improve even further since last year: his SS, ice coverage and spins are amazing, besides everything else. It's incredible how he manages to always get better and better. What a role-model as a sport man.
Kudos, Dai, you're a true champion!!
There was a special TVAshita Get Sports on Daisuke Takahashi and Mao Asada a couple of days ago and Daisuke's 15 minutes part is now online:
I'm at work so I couldn't watch it with the sound on. A lot of it is actually material that was already shown on Japanese tv but could be nice for those who haven't seen much of the most recent Japanese coverage. Although we're shown a lot more detailed analysis of the evolution of his quad than I ever remember seeing, so as far as I know, that is new
And always nice to see Honda-senshu again ^-^

Any guesses?
I'm curious as to what Carriere or Bebe will get next season.
I'm guessing Maxwell and Musademba won't be getting any.
Any guesses?
I'm curious as to what Carriere or Bebe will get next season.
I'm guessing Maxwell and Musademba won't be getting any.
For men its gonna depend a lot whether if Evan, Johnny and Ryan come back next season. I will be very surprised if they do so without taking those three in consideration, and keeping in mind the maximun spots the US could get is 18:
For Sure 2 Spots :
Abbott - 2 (Top12 at worlds so this is a no brainer).
Rippon - 2 (ditto as Abbot)
Mroz - 2 (he's at both top 24 season best and world ranking, a safe bet)
Likely 2 spots :
Miner - 2 (he's got one in the bag thanks to JGPF and all the top Juniors who move up usually get two)
Hochstein 2 (highest result at Nationals after the top men, 4th at Jr. Worlds, he'll probably be the 3rd guy at Skate America)
Likely 1 spot, but you never know :
Carriere - 1 : out of both SB and WS lists, poor GP results plus bombed at Nationals, he'll get one only by reputation.
Mahbanoozadeh - 1 : Same as Carriere, plust he bombed at Jr. Worlds
Dark Horses for 1 spot :
Messing and Dornbush : not big enough names, not high placement at nationals and down to the 30s at Season Best list. Only will get one if none of the top guys are returning. How Old is Messing?? maybe he'll be better going back to Junior Grand Prix.
That would be 14 spots for US Men which is what usually gets. I'll do ladies later.
Summary of season stats for these 6 US guys:
Miner - 1st in JGP Lake Placid; 2nd in JGP Croatia; 3rd at JGP Final (#35 SB score of 196.09); WD from Nationals (would have been Sr. debut) & Jr. Worlds due to injury
Hochstein - 2nd in JGP Hungary; 4th in JGP Germany; 5th at JGP Final; 7th at Nationals (Sr. debut); 5th at Jr. Worlds (#38 SB score of 194.30)
Mahbanoozadeh - 11th at Cup of China; 9th at Skate Canada (#42 SB Sr. score of 186.48); 8th at Nationals (Sr. debut); 10th at Jr. Worlds
Messing - 6th in JGP Poland (skated with an injury); 9th at Nationals (Sr. debut); 4th at Jr. Worlds (#34 SB score of 197.03); one more year of ISU junior eligibility in 2010-11
Dornbush - 1st in JGP Hungary; 5th in JGP Germany; 4th at JGP Final (#39 SB score of 191.80); 11th at Nationals (Sr. debut); one more year of ISU junior eligibility in 2010-11
Carriere - 3rd at Finlandia Trophy; 6th at Cup of China (#37 SB Sr. score of 195.08); 8th at Skate Canada; WD from Nationals after SP

And under the current ISU age rule, Tanovich/Chau [S11] are finally eligible for the JGP this coming season.
No Brooke and Ben for GP? Are they retiring?
And are Rena & John officially retired? I know he went away mad after Nationals, but I'm not sure I read any interviews where either of them said they were retiring. (On the other hand, with the craziness of Nationals/Olympics it certainly could have been lost in the noise.)
Do skaters need to make official announcements of retirement? It also seemed like Brooke & Ben retired since they did not accept the invite to 4CC but I don't recall seeing anything about it.
There's no such thing as official retirement anymore these days (unless you're Lambiel who did it twice LOL) but Im under the impression aswell that Castile&Okolski are done since they didnt even bother with 4CC this year which would have given them the chance to get GP events. If they do stick around, they will be lucky to get only one assignment and that would be the 3rd invitation from Skate America since they are not in the season best or world ranking lists plus have been absent from major competitions since 2008.
I agree with the rest of Sammy's predictions though. Doobs & Jacobsen will probably be the 3rd team at Skate America and Yankowskas&Coughlin will finally receive a second assignment thanks to their 4th place at 4 Continents.
At Nationals this year Brooke and Ben said they're not sure if they're done competing yet. They said they might be back for another season.
I hope they do! Their FS at Nationals was a step in the right direction, and hopefully a big confidence booster!
The challenging part is that there is a limited number of men's spots on the JGP for US men based on their finish at Junior Worlds. Because of that, we will only have 7 spots for the entire series. My guess is that Messing, Brown, and Farris will each get an initial assignment. I also believe that Max Aaron will get one as well. If the first three medal, then they will all get a second assignment, leaving none for anybody else. It's tricky!
So for men, I see it this way:
GP: Abbott (2), Rippon (2), Hochstein (2), Mahbanoozadeh (2), Bradley (2), Mroz (2). If any of Weir or Lysacek come back, Mahbanoozadeh might get zero assignments.
Senior B's: Mahbanoozadeh (if no GP), Dornbush, Dyer, and Wong (Cassar will be alternate if he sticks around)
JGP: Messing, Brown, Farris, Aaron
GP: Flatt (2), Nagasu (2), Wagner (2), Gao (2), Dobbs (2), Gilles (2), Czisny (1)
Senior B's: Czisny, Liang, Zhang, Bulanhagui... maybe Davis
JGP: Zawadzki, Siraj, Baga, Jiang, Gong, Cain, Marley/Kulgeyko
GP: Denney/Barrett (2), Evora/Ladwig (2), McLaughlin/Brubaker (2), Yankowskas/Coughlin (2), Simpson/Miller (1), Dobbs/Jacobson (1)
Senior B's: Katz/Lynch, Zhang/Toth, Smith/Bartholomay, Vise/Baldwin
JGP: All age eligibles!!! LOL!
GP: Davis/White (2), Samuelson/Bates (2), Chock/Zuerlein (2), Hubbell/Hubbell (2), Tibbetts/Brubaker (2), Cannuscio/Lorello (1)
Senior B's: Summersett/Gilles, Kriengkrairut/Giuletti-Schmitt, Pratt/Obzansky
JGP: Shibutani/Shibutani, Gilles/Donohue, Olson/Cowan, TBD from Lake Placid
I'd like to see some of the Senior dance teams heading off to the GP circuit assigned to the early season Senior Bs so that they get good feedback on whatever the new OD format turns out to be. That could end up being pretty important given the magnitude of the change being discussed.
I'd think Caroline Zhang would be in line for at least one GP ahead of Czisny.
I'm also feeling a little bad for the Shibutani's, who are probably on the JGP circuit again and it has got to be feeling pretty old.
I'm sure Caroline Zhang will at least be offered a GP assignment or 2. After this season, her ISU World Ranking is still 11th or 12th, IIRC. Now, she may decline those assignments to instead work on her technique, but I think she'll at least be offered two.
GP: Nagasu (2), Flatt (2), Wagner (2), Gao (2), Zawadzki (2), Zhang (2), Dobbs (1), Czisny (1), Gilles? (1)
Senior B: Czisny, Dobbs, Gilles, Musademba, Maxwell, Gong (?)
JGP: Baga, Siraj, Jiang, Cesario, Wang, Davis, Cain, Gong
All of this depends on 1) who retires (Liang? Czisny?), 2) who stays on the JGP (Zawadzki? Gao?), and who gets a Skate America "home pick" (possibly Musademba or Maxwell depending on good summer comp. results?).
As for the other disciplines for SGP:
Men: Abbott (2), Rippon (2), Mroz (2), Miner (2), Hochstein (2),Mahbanoozadeh? (1), Dornbush? (1 - poss. Skate America?), Carriere? (1)
...again, a lot of ^ depends on whether veterans like Lysacek/Weir/Bradley come back next season. I think Messing, Farris and Brown will be guaranteed JGP spots.
Pairs: Denney/Barrett (2), Evora/Ladwig (2), McLaughlin/Brubaker (2), Yankowskas/Coughlin (2), Castile/Okolski? (1 or 2), Castelli/Shnapir (2?), Dobbs/Jacobson (1 - Skate America?),
...^if Inoue/Baldwin and Castile/Okolski don't come back, a spot could potentially open up for Simpson/Miller, Zhang/Toth or Aaron/Cohen (a SA host spot probably?). If Katz/Lynch come back strong they could make a case for the third SA spot, too.
Dance: Davis/White (2), Samuelson/Bates (2), Chock/Zuerlein (2), Hubbell/Hubbell (2), Summersett/Gilles (1, poss. 2?).
...^will the Shibs move up to senior? If so, I think they'll get 2 assignments. Tibbetts/Brubaker could possibly get 1 (maybe SA?)...if not, I can see them doing Nebelhorn. Ditto for Kriengkrairut/Giulietti-Schmitt, who could very well get Skate America.

Last season was when the ISU changed the rule re. the number of JGP entries for singles skaters and dance teams from the top 5 countries' placements at Junior Worlds to top 3. It's published in last year's JGP Announcement. However, if a country such as China chooses not to send 2 men to each of the 7 JGPs next season, the USA should be next in line to pick up some of their unused men's slots.
I don't think Bebe will get anything this year. She's not even in the top 35 SB scores. US ladies are in bold.
here is the sb scores for ladies
top 35 seasons best
4.190.15 Nagasu

I laughed alot reading this *snorts*
I loved this!
I want a stuffed Alot
A 7th grade student I taught many years ago gave a book report and listed among the characters Lance Alot.
I prolly shouldn't read that.
I just sent that to some grammatically anal people here at work. Who correct grammer alot!
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Posted to my Facebook page so my fossil friends can enjoy it, Alot.
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
I think I want a stuffed alot now!
Posted that to my facebook page, so others may laugh about it.
BTW, did anyone else have problems writing a lot as alot?
One of my grammar pet peeves. Along with its/it's, their/they're/there confusion, and the like. . . But the alot does look cute and fuzzy. . . are they gentle?
No! They are very dangerous! See the example with the baby.
That whole blog is hilarious. Make sure you read the one about how a fish nearly ruined her life.
Brilliant. One of the best things I've read in along time!
Bad joke, but I couldn't resist.
Quite funny -- thank you!
That just made my day
Holy crap. I clicked on this thread two hours ago and have been browsing that blog since! She is hilarious! Tomorrow when I'm not too tired to see straight, I'm definitely adding her to my own bloglist. I like her style. Alot! Had to join the fun....
I also enjoy The Oatmeal... they've got a segment on commonly misspelled words: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling (including "alot") and also a nice one on apostrophe usage: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe

- Health Notes
GlutamineGlutamineThis nutrient has been used in connection with the following health goals
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:Immune SystemSee Related Concerns (4)ClosePre- and Post-Surgery HealthDose: 20 grams dailyStudies have shown that using glutamine-enriched formulas after surgery increased immune cell activity, shortened hospital stays, improved nutritional status, and reduced infections.(more)Immune Function and Post-Exercise InfectionDose: Refer to label instructionsA study giving athletes glutamine, an amino acid important for immune system function, reported significantly fewer infections with glutamine.(more)HIV and AIDS Support and Preservation of Lean Body MassDose: 1.5 grams of HMB, 7 grams of L-glutamine, and 7 grams of L-arginine twice per dayThe combination of glutamine, arginine, and HMB may prevent loss of lean body mass in people with AIDS-associated wasting.(more)Digestive HealthSee Related Concerns (3)CloseDiarrheaDose: 136 mg per pound of body weightGlutamine appears to be beneficial for diarrhea by improving the health of the intestinal lining, rather than by affecting the immune system.(more)GastritisDose: Refer to label instructionsThe amino acid glutamine is a main energy source for cells in the stomach and may increase blood flow to this region.(more)Peptic UlcerDose: Refer to label instructionsGlutamine, an amino acid, is the main energy source for cells that line the small intestine and stomach.

Glutamine, one of the most abundant amino acids in the body, supports the health of the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract and is important for immune function.1 Glutamine is depleted when the body is under stress, including the stress of surgery.2 Blood levels of glutamine decrease following surgery, and as they return to normal, their increase parallels the increase in immune cells.3 Two controlled trials have shown that the use of glutamine-enriched intravenous formulas, providing approximately 20 grams of glutamine per day, resulted in increased immune cell activity and shorter hospital stays.4, 5 Double-blind studies report that patients receiving intravenous formulas supplemented with glutamine after surgery had better nutritional status and better health outcomes, including fewer infections and other complications, compared with patients receiving regular formulas.6, 7References

The combination of glutamine, arginine, and the amino acid derivative, hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB), may prevent loss of lean body mass in people with AIDS-associated wasting. In a double-blind trial, AIDS patients who had lost 5% of their body weight in the previous three months received either placebo or a nutrient mixture containing 1.5 grams of HMB, 7 grams of L-glutamine, and 7 grams of L-arginine twice daily for eight weeks.1 Those supplemented with placebo gained an average of 0.37 pounds, mostly fat, but lost lean body mass. Those taking the nutrient mixture gained an average of 3 pounds, 85% of which was lean body weight.ReferencesHIV and AIDS SupportDose: Refer to label instructions
The amino acidglutamine is needed for the synthesis of glutathione, an important antioxidant within cells that is frequently depleted in people with HIV and AIDS.1 In well-nourished people, the body usually manufactures enough glutamine to prevent a deficiency. However, people with HIV or AIDS are often malnourished and may be deficient in glutamine.2 In such people, glutamine supplementation may be needed, along with NAC, to maintain adequate levels of glutathione. It is not known how much glutamine is needed for that purpose; however, in other trials, 4-8 grams of glutamine per day was used.3 In a double-blind trial, massive amounts of glutamine (40 grams per day) in combination with several antioxidants (27,000 IU per day of beta-carotene; 800 mg per day of vitamin C; 280 mcg per day of selenium; 500 IU per day of vitamin E) were given for 12 weeks to AIDS patients experiencing problems maintaining normal weight.4 Those who took the glutamine-antioxidant combination experienced significant gains in body weight compared with those taking placebo. Larger trials are needed to determine the possible benefits of this nutrient combination on reducing opportunistic infections and long-term mortality.References

In a double-blind study of children (ages six months to two years) with acute diarrhea, supplementing with glutamine significantly reduced the duration of diarrhea by 26%.1 Children were given 136 mg of glutamine per pound of body weight per day for seven days. Glutamine appeared to work by improving the health of the intestinal lining, rather than through any effect on the immune system.ReferencesGastritisDose: Refer to label instructions
Various amino acids have shown promise for people with gastritis. In a double-blind trial, taking 200 mg of cysteine four times daily provided significant benefit for people with bleeding gastritis caused by NSAIDs (such as aspirin).1 Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that stimulates healing of gastritis. In a preliminary trial, 1-4 grams per day of NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) given to people with atrophic gastritis for four weeks appeared to increase healing.2Glutamine, another amino acid is a main energy source for cells in the stomach and supplementation may increase blood flow to this region.3 Patients in surgical intensive care units often develop gastrointestinal problems related to a glutamine deficiency.4 When burn victims were supplemented with glutamine, they did not develop stress ulcers, even after several operations.5 Nevertheless, it remains unclear to what extent glutamine supplementation might prevent or help existing gastritis. Preliminary evidence suggests the amino acid arginine may both protect the stomach and increase its blood flow,6 but research has yet to investigate the effects of arginine supplementation in people with gastritis.References

Glutamine, an amino acid, is the principal source of energy for cells that line the small intestine and stomach. More than 40 years ago, glutamine was reported to help people with peptic ulcer in a preliminary trial.1 Glutamine has also prevented stress ulcers triggered by severe burns in another preliminary study.2 Despite the limited amount of published research, some doctors suggest 500 to 1,000 mg of glutamine taken two to three times per day to help people overcome peptic ulcers.References

Chung Hua Cheng Hsing Shao Shang Wai Ko Tsa Chih 1995;11(3):189-92.Athletic Performance and Post-Exercise InfectionDose: 5 grams after exercise, then again two hours later
The amino acid glutamine appears to play a role in several aspects of human physiology that might benefit athletes, including their muscle function and immune system.1 Intense exercise lowers blood levels of glutamine, which can remain persistently low with overtraining.2 Glutamine supplementation raises levels of growth hormone at an intake of 2 grams per day,3 an effect of interest to some athletes because of the role of growth hormone in stimulating muscle growth,4 and glutamine, given intravenously, was found to be more effective than other amino acids at helping replenish muscle glycogen after exercise.5 However, glutamine supplementation (30 mg per 2.2 pounds body weight) has not improved performance of short-term, high-intensity exercise such as weightlifting or sprint cycling by trained athletes,6, 7 and no studies on endurance performance or muscle growth have been conducted. Although the effects of glutamine supplementation on immune function after exercise have been inconsistent,8, 9 double-blind trials giving athletes glutamine (5 grams after intense, prolonged exercise, then again two hours later) reported 81% having no subsequent infection compared with 49% in the placebo group.10References

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Glutamine is converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. It serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. Without it, these cells waste away. It is also used by white blood cells and is important for immune function.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® L-Glutamine:
It works well, especially helps recovery after tough lifting. Kind of annoying to have to take 2 pills though; I've tried other brands that only require one pill, simply because of dosing.
No real complaints though.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® L-Glutamine:
I find that regular use of L-Glutamine means I am in better-than-average overall health, so I take it every day - even on non-workout days. I also find that taking L-Glutamine before and after workouts results in more energy to power through tough routines, and then faster recovery/muscle building afterward.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® L-Glutamine:
i tried this product a while and i loved it from the start, first off, its a amino acid so theres no side effects or anything, its just like eating 10 stakes all at once. The other thing that caught my eyes was the price, it was a nice [$] price and it was buy one get one free. that was amazing, but anyway, i like this product a lot. i've seen my muscles improve in 2 days. It's a amazing product, and i started to show muscle details and i was starting to get vascular, it is a amazing feeling. Of course theres a catch to everything. There are two bad things about this product, but there VERY minor. the first one is that you are literally drenched in sweat. It makes your body look like u just to a smelly shower, and the second bad thing that happens is that when u swallow the pill, your adams apple hurts a lot, and i have to drink a whole water bottle to make it stop itchoverall, i think this is a good, affordable, healthy product thats worth buying considering there's a buy 1 get 1 sale and its only [$] the pills are not bad to swallow despite the pain, but ill swallow an anchor just to get bigger muscles, also it makes you gain 1 pound per 2-3 days. That i like the most, so if your trying to lose weight, this isn't really the product you would take. I hope my message has inspired you to go out and get the product, you will not regret it

While they are without a strong recruit for this season, the Spartans come off last year's Sweet 16 loss in good position for this year. None of their players declared for the Draft, and team leader in points (13.4 PPG) and assists (3.3) Keith Appling returns for his senior year. Guard Gary Harris is also quickly on the rise as he was a big scorer in his freshman year. They do lose big center Derrick Nix, whose presence will be hard to miss, but maintain great depth as usual. Seven players scored at least 4.8 PPG in the NBA and there's no reason to think that that can't happen again, especially with senior Adreian Payne being a strong ball sharer. Any way you look at it, Michigan State has one of the greatest college basketball programs in the nation and Gold Coast Tickets has the tickets to get you into the game!
The Spartans have enjoyed remarkable consistency in coaching. Over the last 37 years they have had just two coaches, Jud Heathcote and Tom Izzo. Heathcote coached Magic Johnson's 1979 Spartans to the national championship, and Izzo led Jason Richardson's 2000 Spartans to another national title. The Spartans have made the NCAA Tournament 27 times in their history including the two national titles and 16 consecutive appearances. They have become one of the country's most consistent powerhouses year in and year out, making nine Sweet 16 appearances in the last 13 years. Don't miss the Spartans 2013-14 basketball season!

Summer Glau and iPhone 4 in Esquire
Summer Glau did a swimsuit photo shoot for Esquire and in the companion video, busts out an iPhone 4 to take some front-facing pics and to answer a call. We don't post a lot of celebrity iPhone sightings here on TiPb because, frankly, there are far too many to post (and we don't have CrackBerry's eagle eye for them anyway) but when that celebrity is also from Firefly and Terminator... well, that too much geekdom to pass up.
Check out the (Flash! Blame Esquire! Get Skyfire!) video after the break!
[Esquire, thanks browncoat!]
There are 39 comments. Add yours.
Mucho bueno!
Here is a Youtube link to the photoshoot :
The beautiful and talented Summer Glau is on the FHM Magazine UK (May 2011)

I like seeing celebrity iPhone sightings keep them coming
I'll be in my bunk..
haha, yeah I don't think Jayne would be trying to get her off the ship now...
Nice body, sexy feet (although not in that particular shot..odd), but the face is a little underwhelming. Not that I'd say no....
:shock: Sexy feet? There's a half-naked young woman, and you notice a pair of sand-incrusted feet?
Yeah... that was posted because she's in Firefly. winkwink* We believe you.
She was also in Doll House, very nerdy.
I LOVED Dollhouse.
Thank you.
Jewel Staite is hotter.
Agree that Jewel Staite is super cute. I think Lena Headey is hot when she's not grunged out like she was in Terminator: the Sarah Conner Chronicles.
watch out - she'll terminate you with her looks...
Actually I watched the last 2 episodes of firefly plus movie serenity just last night....awesome. She was also in the 4400.
What iPhone??
Yep, she's been in Terminator, 4400, Dollhouse and Firefly. I've seen them all (not for her though). When it comes to sci-fi hotties, Laura Vandervoort from V and Smalville is the queen!
I always used to think she was weird looking (partly because of her firefly role) but man she's startin to look pretty damn good.
Nice, just the video i needed to see, a hot nerd girl named summer, on the beach. While its snowing outside and cold as heck.
This is why I cant wait for "summer" to come again.
I love it when it warm outside, I hate the winter, I love the summer.
PLUS they need to put out one more season of Sarah Connor Chronicles, I really enjoyed that show.
Chrome-Artie FTW !! hahahah.
Plus the singer chick from Garbage, she was cool too.
Can you imagine this same video with a huge 5" Android plastic phone? Boner killer...
Can you imagine actually being able to watch the video on your phone?
Mmm, that's nice.......
Pretty girl, yes, would never deny her in real life yes. But among celebs... she's really not something I am impressed by. There are FAR more better looking females out there.
after scrolling past this picture for the last couple of days I have finally looked down to her feet and they seem to be filthy... argh I hate filthy feet.....
Did anyone else see the preview picture and think it was Georgia?
The T-Mobile girl looks much prettier (Carly)... Also, Rene, aren't you gay? You look very feminine to me...
Why was g-a-y bleeped out?
lmao ew at some of these comment from men but i know of her. Pretty girl
That's awesome. We got an iPhone repair order for a famous model who found us online. Since then she has been recommending our iPhone Repair service to her other famous friends. The funny thing is they call us and name drop her name. We think it's great that they give her name, as if their name didn't carry any weight.
