The recent elections in Iraq have not resolved the main problems therea constitutional crisis, continued terrorism, a potent Sunni rebellion, and fighting between religious and ethnic groups that could result in a full-blown civil war. Is the Iraq war a hopeless quagmire that has been lost, or can the U.S. still foster a united, peaceful and prosperous Iraq?

TRENTON, NJ (USA Today) -- An armed man with multiple hostages is barricaded inside a Trenton home in a standoff that has lasted more than 15 hours.
Trenton Police Lt. Stephen Varn declined to give any details on the number of people being held, their ages or relationship to the armed man. He said shortly before 5 a.m. Saturday that negotiations continued between police and the man.
The Times of Trenton is reporting that children are among the hostages. Negotiators were trying to persuade the man to let the children out to safely before surrendering himself, Mercer County Prosecutor Joe Bocchini said.
The standoff began Friday afternoon, when police entered the home to check on the welfare of a woman who relatives had not heard from in several days, Trenton Police Sgt. Robert Carrier told USA TODAY.
Gerald James, 46, who used to live in the same building, said the neighborhood has gang activity but the apartment building is a "decent place" where most residents have to be employed to make rent.
Ray Kelly told the Times that his cousin Carmen Kelly, 42, has been killed. She had five children, four of whom, Kelly said, were inside the house Friday night: two daughters, ages 17 and 14, a son in his early teens and a 4-year-old boy.
A state police spokesman said the agency's SWAT unit, crisis negotiators and various specialized units are on the scene.
The Rev. Gregory Noga at nearby St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church said he was out of town Friday and got back to find his neighborhood barricaded.
"The police have the street blocked off," Noga said. "The hostage negotiators are trying to contact to get (the gunman) to release the children."
The man is talking to city and State Police negotiators who are trying to get him to leave the house peacefully, Mercer County First Assistant Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said.
Earlier, authorities said police were called to the home midafternoon Friday on reports of a barricaded suspect.
Authorities say police entered the home on a wellness check, found the decomposing body of a woman, and a man brandishing a gun. The police retreated from the home and a perimeter was established around the home. A SWAT team was called in.
Homes on the surrounding block have been evacuated as a precaution.
David Suarez, who lives on the 200 block of Grand Street, told The Trentonian Saturday morning he slept in the Trenton train station after police turned him away after he returned home from work the night before.
"I had nowhere to go to sleep," Suarez said.

It's the time of year when fiddleheads - delicate spring shoots of the ostrich fern - start popping out of the ground and onto roadside farm stands. These edible, little scroll-shaped plants that grow in the wild, have long been a traditional food for the region's native tribes. But as Jennifer Mitchell reports, they've become so popular that even big grocery stores have begun selling them alongside lettuce and tomatoes.
Fiddleheads (above) are something of a New England rite of spring, dating back to well before Europeans arrived. "These fiddleheads up here," says Butch Wells, "my father transplanted maybe a dozen plants, probably 20 years ago - a dozen little cones he stuck in the ground."
And those dozen little fiddlehead cones, says Wells, have multiplied into many dozens of fiddleheads ready for harvest. Wells and his family have been harvesting and selling fiddleheads for the better part of a century from the woods near their farm in western Maine.
Maine and New Hampshire possess ideal conditions for the ostrich fern, which loves loamy, woodsy areas with plenty of moisture. If conditions are right, this edible fern species will happily spread all over.
"If you look at the fiddleheads now, you know, they're out here in the daffodils, they're out there in the lawn," Wells says.
Harvesters from all over the region bring the fiddleheads they collect to Wells, who puts them through the processing facility in the barn next to his farm house. There, the fiddleheads undergo a water bath and take a ride through a super-secret machine.
"There's no camera on there is there?" he asks. And he's not kidding. "We don't take pictures of this."
That's because no one else has a machine quite like it. It's an unpatented processing system built by his grandfather in the last century. And Wells says it's the key to having what he calls "the cleanest fiddleheads on the market."
What started out as a local cottage industry has become big business. By the time the season is over, he will have shipped about 30,000 pounds of fiddleheads across the country. They sell at gourmet stores in California for up to $20 per pound. In Maine they go for just $2 to $3 dollars per pound at roadside stands.
You can also get them for free - if you know where to look. "That's a trout lily," Wells says. "They'll hang out around trout lilies, blood roots, Stinking Benjamin, which is a trillium."
And they tend to favor fields where a few maple trees are growing, says David Fuller (left), a fiddlehead expert with the Cooperative Extension Service in Farmington.
"I tell people there's, like, three telltale signs: One, it has a deep U-shaped groove on the inside of the stem. The stem is smooth - it's not furry or hairy - it's dark green. And then when the fiddle head first comes out of the clump it'll have this brown parchment-like cover on it," Fuller says. "It needs to have all three of those characteristcis to properly identify it as a fiddlehead."
And when harvesting, he says, it's important not to pick every fiddlehead in the cluster. Fuller's own studies have shown that overpicking eventually leads to the death of the plant. With tens of thousands of pounds being exported, and an untraceable amount more likely being picked and consumed, overburdening the resource is a concern.
Unlike other fruits and vegetables, fiddleheads are not likely to be raised commercially. "They've studied that quite a bit in New Brunswick, where they have done a lot a lot of experiments with cultivating fiddleheads, and it is possible," Fuller says, "but it's a fairly pricey thing to do to get them established."
So, Maine's harvest will likely remain a wild one, he says, with the crop gathered wherever it happens to grow. That seasonal harvest, along with growing commercial traction, has drawn attention from lawmakers.
There's a bill before the Legislature this year that would attempt to crack down on unauthorized fiddlehead harvesting. Sponsored by Rep. Russell Black of Wilton, the bill would make it a crime to harvest fiddleheads for commercial sale without the express pemission of a land owner.
EDITOR'S NOTE: And now a word of caution about those fiddleheads. Experts recommend cooking them for 15 minutes in boiling water or 10 minutes by steaming. Although no toxins or specific microbes have been found in the plants, several outbreaks of foodborne illness have been linked to eating raw or lightly cooked fiddleheads.

Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted new information about acrylamide in food and ways that we can reduce our intake of it. Yikes — has another strange chemical found its way into our foods? Apparently not. Read on.
In 2002, researchers in Sweden found the chemical acrylamide in a variety of carbohydrate-rich foods that are fried or baked at high temperatures. In large doses, this chemical has caused cancer in laboratory animals.
In response to concerns about the potential risk, the FDA began to analyze a variety of U.S. food products for acrylamide. Here's some of what they've found so far:
Hmm ... it seems to me that mankind has been baking and frying foods at high temperatures for a long time. And haven't plant foods including grains, potatoes and coffee been staples? What to do?
The FDA discusses specific foods that are larger sources of acrylamide: French fries, potato chips, breakfast cereals, cookies, toast, and coffee. They do not recommend eliminating these foods from the diet. But, they've come up with some suggestions for a few of these items — namely potatoes, bread and coffee.
For potatoes, boiling or microwaving produces no acrylamide. Frying leads to highest acrylamide formation followed by roasting, then by baking. The darker the potato, the more acrylamide — so avoid cooking until dark brown. They have found that slicing potatoes and soaking them for 30 minutes before frying or roasting reduces acrylamide formation. Interestingly, storing potatoes in the refrigerator can increase formation of acrylamide during cooking.
For bread, if you toast it, toast to a light brown color and avoid "very brown areas."
For coffee, the FDA scientists have not found good ways to reduce acrylamide formation since the beans are roasted before brewing. (I hope that these scientists are working hard on this!)
My take? This acrylamide issue is something that will stay on my radar. There seems to be a commitment to continue research on this. From a practical standpoint I agree with the FDA — it's too early to eliminate a whole class of food (grain products), potatoes, and coffee from my diet. There are a few simple things I can do however.
I'll choose less processed cereals, and ones that I can cook (like oatmeal) more often. Toast — light brown. I'll continue to limit those French fries and chips (and entirely stop eating the brown crunchy ones). More often I'll boil or microwave the spuds and definitely take those taters out of the fridge (store them in a cool dark place). Maybe a lighter roast coffee.
It seems like almost every day more and more alerts like this come out. I'm reassured that they seem to reinforce similar messages: vary the diet, eat fewer highly processed foods, emphasize plant foods.
Thoughts? Confused by these food alerts? I'd like to hear your take.

Thank you. I go along with the FDA too. I will try and eat more plant foods. Wish I had a list for the right foods. If you do have a list of plant foods or other food to improve health I would like to have them. I did not know loss of proteins come from eating sweets.
Mayo can contribute to weellns by providing doctors who are willing to connect with patients to give the best possible advice and care. It is important to realize that many of us have seen numerous doctors before coming to Mayo and have had poor experiences where physicians haven't taken us seriously or have overlooked or dismissed symptoms and pathology. Those experiences are then carried with us wherever we go making trust and compliance a difficult task in this situation. http://sxgzwghhhl.com [url=http://azkuwq.com]azkuwq[/url] [link=http://smlylgnyg.com]smlylgnyg[/link]
I like boot camp class, walking and swinmimg. I walk at least 20 minutes daily-sometimes much longer. Boot camp is the evolution of exercise and probably burns more calories than anything (I have no evidence to support that statement). Swimming makes me more hungry than anything else I do. Im not doing laps but chasing my 4 and 2 year olds around with their perfect little, ripped, South Coast beach bodies. Muscles are activated that have been forgotten about while moving about in water.Surely, most of us are blessed enough to be a able to do 20 minutes of walking per day. Walk with awareness of your body. Leave the iPod at home.John the pharmacist and future bootcamp instructor http://goahoqcjoq.com [url=http://dxxahx.com]dxxahx[/url] [link=http://bvpbspovtkw.com]bvpbspovtkw[/link]
Patients who have chronic hlteah conditions and disabilities and their families are seeking providers who embrace and practice patient and family-centered care. This means providers who see patients and families as colleagues in care, recognizing and valuing the expertise and experience patients and families bring as an equal member of the hlteah care team. I use the term colleague rather than partnership, because it implies a different type of realtionship. The term colleague reflects a recognition of the expertise and experience brought to the relationship. This concept does not de-value the important expertise and experience of physicians, but recognizes that the contribution of patients and families is equally valuable as the process of diagnosis occurs and decisions are made about treatment. This concept requires attitudinal and culture changes for physicians.Equally important to colleagueship in individual care is the meaningful involvement of patients and families in hlteah care program and policy design, implementation and evaluation. Patients and families who frequently use the hlteah care system have valuable knowledge about how systems really work, not how they were designed to work. They are often expert at coming up with creative solutions to problems, and are invaluable in teaching hlteah professionals about other systems of care. For a hlteah system to be truly patient and family-centered they must not only include but incorporate the role of patient and family advisors on committees throughout the system.
So do the acrylamides in coffee beans actually make it into the coffee? Does it depend on the process by which you make coffee?
Could it be this is happening with genetically modified foods? Are these foods being fried with GMO oils? Are the foods themselves GMO? Funny how so many people just overlook the fact that foods before GMO's did not have these effects.
I am old enough to remember when all these ills were rare and now they are common. Try a little research and you just may find it occurred when GMO's were put into our food supply without our knowing it. Along with other dangerous chemicals that were not properly tested or grandfathered in.
Sorry, typo-that is "lessens the acrylamides" in dark roast coffee compared to light roast coffee.
Actually, with regard to coffee, FDA says dark roast has less acrylamides than light roast. Something about the continued process for dark roast essens the acrylamides.
Is there a acrylamide risk with roasted nuts and seeds? I like to
roast pepitas,
Brazil nuts and almonds pretty dark. Problem?
Still the question--if it causes cancer in lab animals, does it cause cancer in humans? How many animals--lab or otherwise, eat baked goods, french fries or potatoe chips, breakfast cereal and drink coffee for breakfast? We all know limiting the fried processed foods is a good thing, but perhaps our bodies process toast and roasted potatoes a little differently?
I agree with others, I would like to see a walk in cliinc. It would also be interesting to have a museum, much like the one which Mayo once had , with more info on the human body and its anatomy. My children loved going to the old museum and seeing the woman with the goiter or being able to touch plastic body parts and learn where there were.( who could forget the pitchfork display?) I think they would also be interested in things available at the simulation center, a chance to do pretend robot surgery, interactive displays.
It used to be that if you ate a plant based diet and included grains this was considered healthy...now everything seems to be bad....consider the recent article stating that even organic veggies and fruits have chemicals in them from the soil...pretty soon there won't be any healthy foods available....so do we stop eating?
Green tea and the herb rosemary are reported to block the damaging effects of acrylamides which are supposed to greatly increase risk of uterine and ovarian cancers.
Confusing - thought they said there is benefit to coffee (moderate intake of course...) I don't drink every day, but do drink the darker roasts - these have LESS caffeine (better & doesn't give headaches if you don't drink every day)...So, why would lighter roast be better? Just confused and food for thought....
My mother and grandmother were always saying "everything in moderation." It seems to me that if one doesn't go to extremes with anything, one can maintain the health they need. Balance has been key to me and my family. Variety is important. I will continue to heed updates in the health field but not go to extremes, especially when little research has been done.
I have to admit I am getting tired of hearing of yet another single item that will cause cancer. I read a book once that discussed the ongoing creation of equipment designed to "find" anomalies. New machine A "heard" a "new" sound but a new machine B was needed to further refine the definition of that "new" sound and in the process machine B "heard" several permutations of the "new" sound necessitating the creation of machine C to further refine that research. And so it goes but are you ever really sure this wasn't all started by a squeaky part in machine A? The living organism is so complicated and ever changing. News like these discoveries is interesting but I think puts us in jeopardy of tunnel vision, constantly paranoid about what we eat, what we use...it's crazy making. Years ago someone implanted a dime in the abdomen of a mouse and guess what...it caused cancer.
Confusion re: the apparent behefits of coffee (e.g. reduced risk of parkinson's) vs. acrylamide. How to assess risk vs benefits. I've been on a 3-5 cups a day regimen. Also, is a lighter roast coffee as beneficial as a darker roast one with regard to the health benefits?
I just started storing potatoes in the fridge 6 months ago to keep them from spoiling to soon.Gee.Just when I thought I was doing something good I find out it is dangerous for my family.
I find find this information very useful.
thank you for helping distribute this important information. the big question on everyones mind is then "how should we eat at all" Unfortunatley the answer to this is such a contradiction to our cultural habits and upbringing that most of us aren't ready for the answer. Acrylamide is only one of the harmful effects of cooking. It also destroys protein and fat. The reason we are so tired after eating or during the day isn't because we've yet to have enough espressos. Its because our bodies send white blood cells to our stomach after we've eaten cooked foods. Obviously there is something there to fight. I am a down to earth, not esoteric young man who has been eating off of raw food for years. Its how we are meant to eat. There are clear ways to avoid deficiencies (protein and iron). Its not that hard (cuz our hunger changes) and AND THE CHANGE SHOULD TAKE A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, but its worth the wakefulness and energy. Plus theres never dishes to wash;) By the way world the biggest killer is refined sugar, so if you're still eatin sweets not made from raw sugar, dont worry about cooked food. It would be like smoking after your run.
good information. I heard that vinegar isn't good for you because it slows your digestion down. Couldn't find any information on Mayo Clinic to verify or refute this. Also was looking for more info about combiniing foods and how the medical community views this.
So, if I bake whole grain breads, have I created acrylamide?
im reading this while i have baked potatoes in the oven!i try to cook things different ways for variety. fried food is seldom, also grilling.but baked potatoes, wow, i thought that was healthy.I think every body is different, and some people can eat things without negative effects, while other people cant. i cant eat scrambled eggs, give me bad heartburn, dont knowwhy.
Many of the blog comments are well thought out and leave the reader, at least this reader, with a desire to have you provide a response to those comments that are constructive and qualify for an informative response.
Thanks for all your important data.
Happy Holidays
Grandpa Digger
What can you eat?
I'd like to see some quantification -- what level of acrylamide has a potential risk, and what levels are present in the foods mentioned
I'm curious to know why it is that if there is concerns and reason for caution, why such food label requirements do not contain such information as with say saturated fats? I'm aware there are certain food labs that do offer the testing, but is there a way or a means for consumers to do this themselves?
i dont think these foods should be banned if they are eaten in moderation.If they are wanting to ban foods containing acrylamide most foods contain acrylamide then most foods would be banned and how much is too much. meaning what is the maximum intake of acrylamide in humans.
Jay, here is a link to the FDA information: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cfsup182.html
This is really interesting!
Of course, most people aren't going to give up coffee and fried foods even if it causes cancer or something.
Where is the information released from the FDA posted? I haven't seen anything, but I'd really like to learn more on this!
Information given by someone else doing the research is appreciated! We do well to listen and take heed to things that can produce a longer life - if we would just take the time to choose everything in moderation we would be much better off anyway - how hard is that? Thank you for the alert and info! I'm grateful
Dark, folded potato chips! Toasted bagels! Man, am I going to have trouble with this! But I know what's good for me and I will try my best!!
What about topical products that contain acrylamide such as, foot powders and antifungals? Do they have the same potential risk for causing cancer?
This simply muddies the water for the general public and I agree with SG - most people will be more confused and keep on doing what they're doing without making any healthful changes. As for me in my clinical practice, I'm going to keep on encouraging small changes to increase vegetable, fruit and grain intake with less processed food. In the long run, that's where I believe we'll make the most difference.
Sounds like the mainstay should be what's been argued for years -- moderation in all things. Ok, so I can eliminate or seriously cut down on these categories: French fries, potato chips, breakfast cereals and cookies, maybe even toast. Probably should. But the FDA better stay away from my coffee or they're going to have a mini-revolt on their hands, not unlike when certain dermatologists recommended 10 minutes or less of sun a day. (No, I don't sunbathe. I do, however garden and enjoy walking outdoors, although I don't do either in the heat of a summer day. In any case, sunscreens are not practical for someone who sweats buckets -- nothing dewy about me. Ever had sunscreen run into your eyes?)
I've often wondered if folks who "translate" scientific research into everyday language don't sometimes overstate or even misstate the findings.
Or, heaven help us, pick-and-choose or slant the findings to bolster some money-making endeavor, as drug companies seem to be doing more and more of these days.
Most people ignore information like this because they are too concerned with paying the bills, keeping their job and putting reasonably nutritious and affordable food on the table. Results of nutritional studies often vary widely from year to year or even month to month, so I try to keep the easy-to-implement, sensible conclusions in mind and not make radical changes with the rest. Right now we are hearing that adequate vitamin D levels (from sunlight) may be one of the best ways to prevent cancer and other ailments. What to do, in light of the historic emphasis against sun exposure? A healthy diet with dairy products and a few minutes (15, 20, 25?) daily in the sun? Easy for some, difficult for others. Again, I think most people will throw their hands up and do what they please because much of the advice is impractical even if sound.
Appreciate the info. The suggested changes in diet are reasonable and easy. Would like to have a pointer to the studies themselves - or more complete info re: the dangers.
I've had cancer; it's not fun.
I'll chance cancer... I like burnt things too much.

sure. But there are other regulations like that.

I might not want to serve mexicans, but I will surely get in trouble if I don't
I may want to consume peyote as a part of a religious ceremony, I would get arrested if I did.
All of these could and have been framed as part of a religion. I get where you are coming from, but I don't think this burden is much more burdensome than we already have.
I'm just calling a spade a spade... If you are gonna invoke religion then you should follow what your religion teaches to a T.
I'm not religious at all, but isn't the central tenant of christianity that you fail to live up to gods expectations?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The judge issued a $1.8 million dollar fine per day that Hobby Lobby ignores the law and refuses to abide by the abortifacient provision.
I figured that Hobby Lobby would just have to pay the 2k per employee if they didn't follow the law, how can a judge come in and make up a new penalty?
So if they have a lot of Jehovahs Witnesses and they say we don't blood transfusions that's Ok then? If they have Sciencetologists and say get rid of the Pharmacy plan or psychiatric services same thing (I might be mixing up religions here).
So if they have a lot of Jehovahs Witnesses and they say we don't blood transfusions that's Ok then? If they have Sciencetologists and say get rid of the Pharmacy plan or psychiatric services same thing (I might be mixing up religions here).
This clearly violates the second part as it prohibits the free exercise of faith by Hobby Lobby.
1) What is a Hobby Lobby?
The company does not object to providing coverage that includes birth control pills, but refuses to provide or pay for two specific abortion-inducing drugs such as the so-called "morning after" pill, because Green's "most deeply held religious belief" is that life beginning at conception, the family said in a statement released through its attorneys.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – Parkview Health is considered one of the most secure hospitals in the nation by an online security magazine, and through a new law, the hospital's security director says it could only get safer.
Parkview Health is considering creating its own police force, which would make it the first hospital in the state to do so.
The law allowing hospitals to have their own police force was written by Senator Dennis Kruse (R – Auburn).
Parkview Health Director of Security Tom Rhoades says it's a good time to consider the movie with Fort Wayne and Allen County seeing a record number of homicides this year due to gun violence.
Rhoades says there's always the potential for violence to follow victims through hospital doors.
So far, he says, it hasn't happened at Parkview hospitals, but in case it does, the hospital will be prepared.
Currently, Parkview employs 100 security officers, and uses more than 200 security cameras to safeguard its facility.
Rhoades says he's considering hiring 18 officers for the force.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by linda Great Cookies The variety is great! but now that I am in Bullhead City,AZ and not near a store I want to buy online but these are not available. The sugar content is within the range I can have. Not many cookies are, so please put them on the online buying list. September 27, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by qwerty08 Not tasty... I tried these on a whim and deeply regret it---the cookies lacked any taste other than mildly to excessively sweet and most of the varieties also tasted stale. The chocolate-filled straws were the best of the bunch, but even those deserve only 3 stars. "never waste food" has been ingrained in me from my youth, but these went into the trash can. May 5, 2014

Metformin (Glucophage) for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Metformin decreases the level of androgens produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. It also helps the body use insulin and may reduce the risk of diabetes.
Why It Is Used
Metformin is a diabetes medicine sometimes used for lowering insulin and blood sugar levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This helps regulate menstrual cycles, start ovulation, and lower the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS. Long-term use also lowers diabetes and heart disease risk related to high insulin levels.1
How Well It Works
Metformin lowers insulin, androgen, and cholesterol levels. It also improves metabolism in women who are insulin-resistant.
Metformin may help start ovulation in women with PCOS who have not responded to treatment with clomiphene. Some doctors may recommend taking metformin in addition to clomiphene to start ovulation.2
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Symptoms of lactic acidosis, such as rapid breathing, excessive sweating, cool and clammy skin, sweet-smelling breath, belly pain, nausea or vomiting, and/or confusion.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Temporary nausea and/or diarrhea.
- Loss of appetite.
- Increased abdominal (belly) gas.
- A metallic taste.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Blood levels of vitamin B12 can decrease in women who take this medicine, but the lower level usually does not cause health problems. Doctors do recommend that women who take metformin also take a daily multiple-vitamin supplement.
You may need to stop taking metformin temporarily before major surgery or other medical procedures, such as X-rays that use contrast dyes. Talk to your doctor about this before your surgery or procedure.
The effect of metformin may be increased if you also take cimetidine (Tagamet). Before you take metformin, talk with your doctor about any other medicines you are taking.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Multiboxing is a term used to denote one user playing multiple accounts simultaneously. This can be done using one or more machines. Solutions exist for both the PC and Mac. There are also solutions for using both PC and Mac at the same time. The following pages contain more detailed information than presented here, Multiboxing hardware, Multiboxing software, Multiboxing macros, and Scripts.
For some players there is not enough challenge in playing only one character at a time. Others look to recreate the feel of old time Computer Role Playing Games where a well designed team was used to adventure together. There are also some who don't want to rely on others to play the game when one character is not enough.
Background of Multiboxing
As noted above in the term description, multiboxing is a game play style accepted by Blizzard . The multiboxing solutions documented here do not violate Blizzard's EULA for the World of Warcraft game.
In order to multibox in World of Warcraft, you will need to have all of the following criteria areas addressed:
- One World of Warcraft registered account per game client you wish to multibox (example: 5 characters = 5 accounts)[1]. This means you will have to purchase multiple copies of the game, including all required expansions. Note: You can multibox using trial accounts. However, to form a party, your leader must be a paid account.
- The computing power to run the desired number of games. This can be achieved by using 1 computer or multiple computers. A simple computer costing under $700 is sufficient to multibox [2]
- The ability to "broadcast" your game commands to all your running games. This can be done by using Multiboxing software or Multiboxing hardware.
In addition, you will need to learn many multiboxing strategies, including Macro writing skills, and may need to pay special attention to your in-game UI.
How complex of a solution do you want? A software-only solution using one machine and multiple copies of the game is pretty straightforward. For many, the real complexity is in writing macros that allow each character to function properly in the group. Because characters are sharing hotkeys, a lot of care must be put into what effects each hotkey activates. The end result is that you can become very knowledgeable in using the game's Macro language and available Addons.
The basics
This section will cover the basics of multiboxing. While hardware and software requirements will be mentioned, more extensive detail will be found on either of the following two pages Multiboxing Hardware Requirements and Multiboxing Software Requirements
Game software
You will need to purchase the game, and depending on needs the expansion as well, for each account you wish to run simultaneously.
A minimum of one installation of the game software must be present on each computer.
A single installation directory can be used to open multiple instances of the game client. It is not necessary to have multiple WoW directories on a machine to run multiple WoW Windows.
The single directory installation option saves hard drive space and simplifies setup and maintenance of your user interface and add-ons.
Some users prefer to maintain several copies of the game files on one computer. It is widely believed that multiple installations of the game client will improve performance, however this is only partly true. Multiple installations will improve performance only if each installation is on a different physical drive.
If the multiple directory method of installation is chosen you will need to maintain add-ons and user interface changes for each installation separately.
Users of Mac computers can symbolic link the Data directory to save space when running multiple copies on one machine.
Users of Windows XP or newer with NTFS can use Junction Links for the same effect. Windows Vista/7 can use the included MKLINK[3] program to create a junction. Windows XP users have to resort to a third party program (e.g. Junction Link Magic).
System hardware
To run two or more copies on the same machine, it is recommended that it contain a dual core processor, discrete 3d graphics accelerator, and at least one gigabyte of memory. Additional copies on the same machine will require faster processors and more memory. When using multiple machines, try to keep all of them identical.
Key/mouse broadcasting software
There are multiple methods of broadcasting keystrokes from one client to another, either on the same machine or across multiple machines.
Mouse broadcasting is the method from which you use and activate your mouse from 1 main game window and it has reflected actions upon other game windows. While this is not needed for all forms of multiboxing, it is a boon to those who play Mage / Warlock / Druid classes due to the requirement those classes have to target area-of-effect type of spells.
Additional hardware
Keyboard, Video, and Mouse, switches (KVMs for short) are an option when using multiple machines. A Vetra Keyboard Multiplexer is one example for controlling multiple machines. Additional monitors may also be needed, note that the the secondary characters do not need to be on large monitors and there benefits with using smaller monitors to view their actions.
Game concerns
Some of the choices you make are strictly within the game. From server type, character types, to the races of the characters.
PvE or PvP
Player versus Environment
Player versus Environment is the easy solution. Even if the eventual goal is to play on a Player versus Player server getting practice with multiboxing will be much easier on the PvE server. PvE is very forgiving. Events are scripted, generally start when you start them, and allow for as many tries as you want.
Player versus Player
Player versus Player interactions will require a unique approach when multiboxing, very different than PVE gameplay. Because of this uniqueness, you may find yourself in a situation where your typical macros for Player versus Environment do not apply to PVP gameplay. You may find that it will require more advance macros and more thought put into contingency plans.
Server selection
Scout out the server and see what kind of ratio it has. Is it an old server or a new one? Old servers tend to have established PvP and knowledgeable players. It can be harder to find groups, not an issue if you are five boxing, and they tend to have a more vibrant auction system and economy. A good method to find a new server to multibox on is to ask in various forums if there are any existing multiboxing guilds on the server. If so, ask in advance if you may join the guild before making that server your new home. If you are playing on US servers, one of the largest multiboxing guilds in the entire game is on the Blackrock server, Horde side. [Update] The largest and most active multiboxing guild in the world currently resides on Magtheridon [Horde] named <The Zerg> they are comprised of three guilds due to Blizzard's limitation of 1000 members per guild as of the release of Cataclysm. They are <The Zerg>, <The Protoss>, and <The Terran>. To join ask any available officer.
Class selection
Class selection. This depends on both your playstyle and the type of server you play on. For the ability to heal and dish out burst damage choose a Priest and four Mages. Other options are to replace the Mages with Warlocks, replace the Priest with another healer class like a Druid, Shaman, or even a Paladin.
A very popular one-class choice is to have multiple Shamans. Due to the macros, one set of shamans in a battleground can simultaneously cast Chain Lightning, which can effectively destroy even the hardiest of twinks.
Due to game mechanics picking two classes is far easier to deal with than using three or more classes. Even if five different classes is more appropriate being able to direct it is another issue. It comes down to how consistent the actions between the classes are and how the hotkeys can best be shared between them. When you are beginning multiboxing it is recommended to limit the number of classes.
Race selection
Some consideration of racial abilities for PvP is warranted. Undead have Will of the Forsaken which breaks Fear which is very bad when grouped up. Other good racial abilities are the Tauren Warstomp and Blood elf who have the ability chain two second silence effects. Race selection also limits class selection so some choices will not be available regardless.
Believe it or not, the names you pick for your characters make a difference. By picking logical names you will be quicker to react and it will be easier to tell your characters apart.
An example, where you have four Mages and one Priest. Choose a unique multi-letter name and then suffix it to identify which character is which. Naming the first four characters mynameA, mynameB, mynameC, and mynameD, makes it easy to remember they are the the mages, whereas naming the priest mynameX provides enough distinction to separate him out. Why the last letter? Simple in PvP your opponent could say /target A and get the first character whose name starts with an A! You could also name them for their role in the party. Recognition of which character is which will come over time, using a naming strategy speeds up the process.
Conversely, if PvP is your primary objective, you may wish to pick names that all sound alike so that opponents using voice communication (e.g. Ventrilo) cannot easily designate one of your targets. Changing letter combinations (e.g. Aellii, Aellei, Aellie, Aelli) or substituting certain vowels (e.g. Boylston, Boylstun, Boylsten) may cause a slight delay in one of your characters being focused-fired upon in an Arena.
For your first team it is highly reccomended that you do not use any special characters in the names. It can make it difficult with macros and addon settings later on.
Other concerns
Play area layout
Once again, this small detail makes a difference. If you run 5 or 6 monitors, I strongly suggest some logical order to how your characters are arranged and which computer runs which character. Your "main" is generally in the middle and the secondaries flank your main to either side. My personal choice is A in the lower left, B upper left, C upper right and D lower right. Clockwise with X in the lower middle. The upper middle is for browsing the internet, looking up quests, vent, etc. My key arrangement mirrors this and the X-Keys Desktop and Pro are perfect for this kind of setup as they have 8 keys wide and 5 vertical. Making your physical interface as intuitive as possible will speed the learning process and make far more logical sense when playing.
Getting started
If you choose the hardware method the hard part is paying for it all. You will need four identical machines. Literally, identical machines, down to the revision numbers on the components. I build my own machines but buying them is certainly an option. This project, done at its most basic hardware level, will cost $4280, not counting tax and shipping. Done right, it will push $5k, plus monthly fees. Depending on your perspective, this may be a lot of money. Nobody ever said multiboxing at this level was cheap but I can certainly think of far more expensive hobbies. The other solution is using a virtual machine with a multi-core processor, which can be significantly cheaper.
Powerleveling does not really work in WoW, so leveling up is tricky if you already have a level 80 and want to add more characters. The best way to level is to level them all at the same time. You can do so with questing alone, questing and instances or just instances. Questing is a good bet as the experience is great, the mobs are easy and you get faction. However, you will want to avoid every single collection quest as you will need to do them five times. Not fun. I personally suggest instance grinding. Elites give great experience and about the time you get tired of an instance, you level out of it. The only downside is the time wasted learning the instance and at the lower levels, learning just how to multibox. One solution to the issue of learning of the instance is to download a dungeon map addon, so that you may become familiar with the dungeon you will be constantly running.
UI mods
Multiboxers find a range of WoW Addons helpful, often including addons that communicate with other members of their team, such as Jamba.[4]
Quest accepting
There are quest accepting macros out there. They work pretty well for accepting quests on the "secondary" characters. Right click, hit the quest accept macro and you are done. Sharing quests is another way to do this but not every quest can be shared.
Pet macros
This macro will make your pet attack your current target if you have a target. Otherwise, it will attack the focus target. For example, if you have multiple warlocks and assign each one a target, their corresponding pets will attack those targets or assist your main and attack your main's target instead.
/petattack /stopmacro [target=target, exists] /petattack [target=focustarget]
What happens when my main dies?
You need to setup your macros to allow for transitioning to another "main". This will mean physically moving to another mouse and changing your /assists or /focus to another character. This is doable with custom LUA scripts or simply a dedicated keyboard (or X-Key). I will leave that up to you - usually when my priest dies, I am out of mana and going down anyway. Often times it is faster to do this in battlegrounds as you rez with nearly full mana and health - but there are times when you will need to continue fighting and not just stand there. It took me quite a while to figure this one out - and I will leave this to you.
Xzin of Magtheridon (Xzin, Azin, Bzin, Czin, Dzin)
|The neutrality of this article or section has been questioned! It may contain fan opinions.
My name is Xzin and I am (to the best of my knowledge) the only serious 5 boxer who was highly successful in PvP before the first WoW expansion came out. The reason for this is simple. I designed my setup from the beginning to support ultra low latency, maximum spell synergy and high burst damage dealing. Everything I did was carefully chosen to maximize my DPS and reaction times - even if there were other, slower or less reliable methods available. I took great pains to design a system that would work for me from the ground up and I had the resources to make it happen. Building bits and pieces will work but nothing is as good as doing it all at the same time with the exact same hardware.
While I am not the first person ever to box (people were doing it in Dark Age of Camelot and other prior MMORPGs such as EverQuest and the like), I achieved rank 13 on all five characters at the same time and am well known on my server and battlegroup as a player who knows how to play and was nothing to sneeze at in PvP. At times, I have singlehandedly changed the course of AVs and was able to "solo" every 5 man dungeon - with only cloth characters and a single healer.
Below, I present my views on multiboxing and lay out a guide to what I did and where I obtained my hardware. My focus was PvP from the beginning and I never started with two or three characters and expanded to five. I started with one, decided the game was too boring that way and moved straight to five. Not to sound egotistical but if there was a better way to do this, I certainly would love to know. Seriously. I would like to add it to my setup. Lastly, my setup is expensive. There are somewhat cheaper ways to do what I have done but not too many corners can be cut. Be prepared to lay out at least $5,000 or more to do this seriously. The setup I have listed below should be considered the bare minimum needed to do this. If you have decided that this is what you want to do - great. Read on. If not then well.... go back to playing normally or dual boxing. There is to the best of my knowledge no way to do this (well) for under two or three thousand US dollars.
So you want to four box (or more?) WoW? This is a serious decision and needs to be thought about BEFORE purchasing hardware or setting things up. To be done successfully, first identify your target goals. Do you want to PvE, requiring a more balanced group and a less time critical interface, or PvP, which requires maximum flexibility with somewhat more limited class selections, minimal latency and the full gamut of specialized hardware?
Hopefully you are coming across this guide as a Wiki. If so, please feel free to modify it and improve upon it. I am sure there is more that I could add here but I eventually tired of spelling this all out. I spent literally months figuring all of this out and quite a bit of money deciding on what works and what does not. I hope that the community will add on to this and potentially come up with something better. If nothing else, I hope this guide helps you out and makes your five boxing that much easier to do. Make sure you understand why you are doing things the way you are doing though - I set this up for myself and I know how it all fits together. Your success will depend greatly upon your ability to thoroughly understand your setup and improve upon it.
Before you begin, please be aware that increasing capabilities of graphics cards, processors, software drivers and software utilities are making it possible to multibox two (or potentially more) copies of WoW on a single machine with the same feature sets as my hardware method, described below. I am still a bit new to those options so I will not speak to them just yet, but I have tested a "low" high end processor (around $180) dual core system with a 8600 GT graphics card and 2 gigs of ram - running around the bank gives 55+ fps on both screens (minimum settings, except terrain distance, which is set to max) at a resolution of 1600 x 1280 per account. So, the hardware is able to make it happen without making huge FPS sacrifices (yes, I know you can play at 20 fps with huge graphics lag spikes but that is not acceptable for PvP). The hard part is how to send two mice to two copies of WoW on the same computer as well as broadcasting keyboard entry. If I am able to figure out how to do this, I would be able to theoretically use 6 computers to control 10 accounts.... meaning I can shave off $2000 of computer costs as well as remove the need for as many (possibly any) Vetras or KVMs. The only downside is this DOES require the use of "third party" programs. I cannot make any statement as to if Blizzard would consider banning somebody for using these programs but the fact that it has to hook into mouse and keyboard functions does put it in the "somewhat gray area' category. That said though, many other drivers, common network admin utilities and other simple things like the G15 keyboard do the exact same thing..... and none of the programs are bots or in anyway automate gameplay in a way to allow unattended gaming. I suppose Autohotkey could be scripted but then again I am not sure exactly how that would help you.... it is not like you could walk away and smash face in the BGs or have your character leveled for you. You still need to send input to the keyboard and move the mouse around.
If you are going to four box, you might as well five box. You get the ability to run your own group, can enter 5v5 Arenas, fill out an entire group yourself and the hardware costs are not too much greater to buy five over four. I personally suggest going for all five instead of four but you can work with four. However, if you are going to do four (about $850 more), you might consider only doing three. You get the benefits of being able to do a 3v3 arena team and three is much less complex than four.

A new Veterans Affairs health clinic is on track to open in eastern North Carolina in 2013.
U.S. Reps. G.K. Butterfield and Walter Jones said the VA awarded a contract earlier this week to build the new clinic in Greenville.
The clinic will provide a number of special services, including optometry, podiatry and mental health services. Officials say it can provide services to 20,000 veterans. The current clinic can serve just 8,000 vets.
Gilbane Development Company won the contract to build the new clinic, which is scheduled to open in late 2013.

Other Problems With Symptoms Similar to Allergic Rhinitis
Topic Overview
Other medical problems and other types of rhinitis may cause symptoms like those of allergic rhinitis. Your doctor will usually be able to tell the difference between allergic rhinitis and these other problems by examining you and asking questions about your symptoms.
Medical problems include:
- Upper respiratory infections. Upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) , especially those caused by viruses such as the common cold, often cause sneezing, a runny nose, and nasal congestion. Upper respiratory infections differ from an allergy in that they last 7 to 14 days, and you may have a fever. But if you often have these infections, it can be difficult to know whether you have an upper respiratory infection or an allergy. You may need a skin test or a test that checks your nasal drainage for a type of white blood cell (nasal cytology).
- Nasal defects. If the wall (septum) between the nostrils is not normal (deviated septum), it may partially block one nostril and create a stuffy nose.
- Large adenoids . These can block airways and make it hard to breathe through the nose.
- Enlarged nose bones, which also can block airways and make it hard to breathe through the nose.
- Nasal polyps , which are noncancerous growths in the nasal passages. They can block airways, making it difficult to breath through the nose.
- Injury or foreign body. Sometimes injury to the nose can cause the bone at the top of the nasal cavity to break. Fluid can leak out from the area, causing a runny nose. Small children sometimes put objects, such as nuts, candies, or small pieces of toys, into their noses. Injury or objects in the nose can cause a runny nose.
- Tumor. In rare cases, tumors develop in the nose and can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion. Long exposure to certain substances, such as formaldehyde, nickel, or leather dust, can make a tumor in the nose more likely.
Nonallergic rhinitis
Like allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis also causes inflammation of the nasal passages and the same symptoms. But allergens do not cause nonallergic rhinitis, and your immune system does not react. Immune tests typically are negative. As with allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis can occur at certain times of the year or year-round.
Forms of nonallergic rhinitis may include:
- Nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES). People with NARES have symptoms like those of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, nasal itching, and a runny nose. Nasal tests show a type of cell (eosinophils) that is also seen in allergic rhinitis. But skin testing is negative for these people. The cause of NARES is unknown.
- Infectious rhinitis. A virus may cause this form of rhinitis.
- Vasomotor rhinitis. Vasomotor rhinitis, which is also called idiopathic rhinitis, has symptoms of nasal congestion or a runny nose. A change in humidity or temperature can trigger symptoms. So can breathing in strong odors, cigarette smoke, air pollution, perfumes, the aroma of hot and spicy foods, or insecticides.
- Hormonal rhinitis. Pregnancy or hypothyroidism may cause hormonal rhinitis. More hormones in the blood, such as occurs during pregnancy, can lead to nasal congestion or a runny nose.
- Drug-induced rhinitis. Medicines such as ACE inhibitors, some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or birth control pills can cause drug-induced rhinitis. In older adults, the medicines reserpine, phentolamine, methyldopa, prazosin, and chlorpromazine may cause it. Illegal drug use, such as "snorting" cocaine through the nose, can also cause symptoms like those found in allergic rhinitis.
- Atrophic rhinitis. Atrophic rhinitis occurs mainly in older adults and causes nasal congestion and a constant bad smell in the nose. Atrophic rhinitis is seen more in developing countries, leading some researchers to believe that bacteria might cause the disease. People with atrophic rhinitis have dry crusts in the nasal cavity.
- Rhinitis medicamentosa. Use of over-the-counter nasal decongestant sprays for more than 5 to 7 days can lead to rhinitis medicamentosa, or "rebound congestion." In rebound congestion, the decongestant first makes your symptoms better, but then your nasal congestion gets worse. Using cocaine can also cause rhinitis medicamentosa.
- Rhinitis caused by systemic disease. Sometimes whole-body, or systemic, diseases can cause symptoms. These diseases include hypothyroidism, severe kidney disease, and several diseases of the immune system, such as Wegener's granulomatosis and sarcoidosis. These diseases can cause a runny nose or nasal congestion.
- Food-related rhinitis. Drinking alcohol or eating hot and spicy foods may cause this form of rhinitis.

However, the realm now has many arena players consistently in the top 100 in the Nightfall battlegroup, and a number of guilds have begun to have success raiding WotLK content.
Alliance Trade Chat denizens affectionately refer to Gnomeregan as "The Short Bus".
Notable Players
Some of the most notable players that almost everyone on the server knows include:
- Frankwhitte
- Mageboi
- Johaltandk AKA: Reddblazze AKA: Kratos (the DK not the mage, duh!)
- Jeldor ( GM Rise Of The Phoenix ) most of his alts start with Jel
- Mirrada

Nuclear weapons
28-02-2013 Publication Ref. 4067
- DownloadPDF 334 KB
The existence of nuclear weapons raises profound questions about when the rights of States must yield to the interests of humanity, the capacity of our species to master its own technology and the reach of IHL. Every individual can take action towards ensuring that international negotiations lead to the prohibition and elimination of all nuclear weapons.
